Registration for spring slated

by Fekadu K.iros Stntint!I Reponu

Registrotion for Spring Semester for returning students is sci from Dec. 7 10 Dec. JO. Technical s1uden1s will register on the first morning of regis1r.:uion day. They are given priority because of the nature of their schedule. said Registrar Karen Streeter.

'They do no1 lake very many academic classes. and they have to work around their technical courses," Streeter said.

Students who have earned the self-advised s1a1us will register after technical students.

Most self-advised students rue those who arc in their second year :ind have 45 or more credits prior 10 the currenl semester. Next self-advised students who have completed 20 or more credits and students who were enrolled last semester will register followed by lirsl time freshman and students on probation.

To help studcms in figuring out their registration day and time, a list of names that has the number of credits !Oken prior to this semester and the slams of each student (selfadvised or advisor assigned) will be posted in

the Studen1 Union Building, Admissions Office and Rcgislration Office.

IJ information is prinied incorrcc1ly. this will be a good time for students 10 check with the Registration Office S1ret1er said.

A few changes will be mode 10 last semesters registration. The "direc1admit registration forn1"(which is similar 10 the application for admission form in which students write the classes they are going 10 take) used for full-lime students last semes1er will not be used this semester because of the complica1ions it caused.

Last semester. some full-Li me students did not get finoneinl aid even though they were eligible because their name was entered in the computer as "non-degree seeking" students and as such they were not eligible for financial aid Streeter said.

The form. however. will be used during the evening course registrations. which are Dec. 7 and January 12 from 4:30 10 7 p.m. and for OutReach Campus registration on Tues. fan. 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Donner Mall. Sandpoint and Keclogg High School in Keelogg.

Reg.istration by telephone will be avnilable

for nigh! school and Qui Reach s1udents on Dcc.5 from 5-7p.m. Sludents registering by phone must "pu1 1hcir classes on a credit card and charge it," Streeter said.

Continuing students who arc currently enrolled, but fail 10 register In lime will hove priority the fi rst morning of registration on Dec. I2. The morning registration will be dedicated for returning students. New students and returning s1uden1s that hove been out of school will register next.

If s1udent~ have nol passed the English Competency exam, they will not be allowed 10 enroll in English 104. Strceicr said. They c:in register for all their other classes, but they wou ld hove 10 wait until they pass the English Competency exam that will be given Dec. 20.

They will be allowed to ndd an l!nglish I 04 course if they pass, said Streeter.

Registrniion is expected 10 proceed about the same as last semester. "At most schools registration for Spring is a llnle less than registration for Fall," Streeter said, "but I expect preny much the same number here. It is going 10 be a long line again."

Date rape lecturer visits campus

by Michelle Schwend and Jones Gornuskus . Stntmtl Staff

When olC'ohol is involved, men u~uolly become more violent and women become less likely lO resist their nnackcr.

Feminist oc1ivis1 Laurn X gave a lcc1ure on date and marital rape Oct 2S in the Bonner Room of the SUB. The lecture was followed by a ques1ion-an~wer period in which the audience asked questions ranging from alcohol and sex 10 acquaintance and mnrirnl rape.

Approximately 50 people showed up 10 hear Laura X's presentation.

Mos1 of lhc people, however. were there because lhey had to research a paper for a class or lhey were n1hle1es 1ha1 were recruited to go by their coaches. They applied most of the queslions 1owards 1he panel, which consisted of Laura X. Oa,•id Lindsay (dean of s1uden1s). Linda Michal (campus nurse prac1i1ioncr). Donna Runge (campus counselor) and Chris1ine Evans from the local Rape Crisis Cenler.

"It was o great opponunily for women and men to get 1ogelher and 1nlk about the subjecl," said Rol3nd Williams, NIC men's bnske1ball conch. "Plus there was a 101 of new information.''

The seminar stnrted oul with an introduction speech by Lindsay and then a 25-minutc film that Laurn X did in conju nction wilh 60 Minutes.

The film showed cases of dale and mari1al rnpe and discussed suggestions on how people can pro1ect themscl\'eS against any of these happenings.

"She focused 100 much on mnrilal rape," said Chris Griffin, NIC basketball player. "I think she should have talked more aboul 1he college environment'' The issue of alcohol and sex was one of the big discussions of the night Questions raised were: "Do I have to give my dale a breathalizer lest if I wanl to have sex wi1h her?"- "How many beers do people have to drink before they arc considered unable 10 decide if they want to have sex with another person r ·-"Why shou Id I be the one responsible if

someone else lms 10 much 10 drink nnd cries mpe ln1erT' and "Why should 1 be responsible for someone else's ac1ions when 1hey have been drinking?"

"Any time 1here is alcohol involved 1here is more chance of rape happening because people lose 1heir inhibi1ions and !heir sense of what is righ1 or wrong," said Runge. NIC counselor.

The panel was especially concemed wi1h 1his issue because. according 10 the Rape Trea1men1 Cenlcr in Santa Monica, Cali. 90 pcrccnl of campus rapes in the Uni1ed S1a1es involve alcohol.

According 10 Runge's s1a1is1ics. the most common kinds of rape that happens among college students are acquainlance rape, when lhe vic1im already knows the rapist, and date rnpe, which is usually when alcohol is involved.

"Rape is a big issue and when alcohol is involved, it becomes an even bigger issue," Laura X said.

Runge said 1h01 "laking advantage of someone that has their decision making faculties impaired is nol nice."

Rape sta1is1ics from Runge show that 96 percent of rapi~ls are men and that one person every five minutes is rnpcd in lhe United States. One half of the victims never discuss il because they don't rea lize 1hey've been roped or because of embarrnssmenl. shame. denial. or lhey feel guihy.

Specialis1s classify rape in five categories: stranger rape. when the victim is anackcd by a complc1e manger: marital rape. when 1hc vic1im is raped by 1hcir husband/wife: gang rape, when lhc viclim is roped by a member of the group lhey hang ou1 with; acquaintance rape, when 1he victim is raped by someone she knows; date rape. when the vic1im is raped by someone she is going oul wi1h. Acquaintance and dale rape are the 1wo most common kinds. On the other hand, dale rape is lhc case that has the highcsl percentage of denial and omission (unreponed).

Tiu:~c cases arc 1he ones most common in the college scenario.

Chewing over cancer facts I

by Sally An lbony Smrintl Rtportt!r

although the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireanns ouempts 10 regulate the use of smokeless tobacco in young peopl~. tl1e Federal Trade Commission and a phnrmnccuticol company took steps which may impact local users.

The FrC announced 1ha1 henhh warnings about the hazards of the smokeless product would be required at events where chewing tobacco odvcniscments are displayed. This proposed regulation would affect public events including: counuy-music concens. rodeos. tractor pulls and monster truck rallies.

Nearly simultaneously lhe pharmaceutical firm of Ciba-Geigy began offering college campus hcnlth facilities a program which would provide studenls with free nicotine patches.

S1uden1S who want to use the patches 10 quit using tobacco must submit financial information and have them prescribed by a physician. For those who qualify the drug is provided for a one 10 three-month period, accord ing to a Ciba-Geigy spokesperson.

Linda Michal, Student Health Services nurse practitioner. said thot she would be "happy to help students enroll in the program even though the paperwork is cumbersome nnd time consuming."

Michal and olher health professionals are alarmed at the use of smokeless tobacco products, which have increased at the rate of 11 percent ench year since 1974, according 10 John Wilson of the Americnn Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Idaho ranks 14th nationally in use of spit tobacco. A siatewide study of studenis in grades eight through 12 indicated that 37 percent had tried the chew, according 10 Shelli Clemens, vice president for programs of the American Cancer Society of Idaho. She said that it is "not unusual for people as young as 8 to have experimented with it and the longer it is used the greater the chances of oral cancer."

NJC student Brian Woad, 19, says that he began lhe habit about

A

five yenrs ago when a friend offered him some Red Man Snuff.

Woad siatc:d that he has n friend in Lewiston, his hometown, who has terminal cancer from using smokeless products.

"I've tried culling back and shifling it from one place to another (in my mouth) so that it won't be so harmful," Woad said. "I' ll quit it someday, especially if the price goes up again. The price hos almosl doubled since I started."

Increasing the price is one way that the Cancer Society has auempted 10 combat use, according to Clemens.

"Lobbyists on the slate and national levels uy to get taxes increased on the products," she said.

"We ulso uy 10 get athletes 10 not use chew on TV," she said.

Clemens was surprised 10 learn lhat a time-out was called during the World Series so 1h01 a player could auend to his chew.

"A professional baseball player in C¡llifornia went on tclevis1on and apologized to his fans for using chew during his games," she said.

Local ancmpts to prevent chewing tobacco related oral cancer deaths. which number about 8,000 each year in America, include teaching done by Mory Jo Sauber. public health denwl hygienist. ''Copenhagen is one of the major sponsors of the Pullman Rodeo," she said. "They also give out samples nt the Kootenai County Fair. I just have 10 stnn with the young ones and tell them that it's not safe-it's not 'bener 10 lose a lip than o lung."'

Sauber visits five counties looking for the symptoms of mouth cancer in tobacco users. Symptoms include: reddish or whitish patches in the mouth, a sore that fails 10 heal and bleeds cn.~ily. a lump or thickening of the tissues: chronic sore throat or hOlll'$Cness or difficulty in chewing or swallowing, she said. Doctors recommend that chew users examine their mouth once a month for these signs. "'Smokeless' is not a safe alternative to cigoreues," Sauber said.

Varying brands dellver different amounts of nicotine and cancerous products, according to the National Cancer lnstltue, High Country, Hawken, Kodiak, Skoal Bandits offer less of these than Skoal Select and Copenhagen Red Man Snuff contains the highest percentage.

Idaho Citizen's Alliance portrays homosexuality as sinful behavior The Idaho Citizen's Alliance members wonts 10 protect their children from bomose,uality. They hope to pass nn ini1ia1i ve that .tllows employers 10 fire worl.crs based on sexual orientation. They would like 10 see teachers in public schools forced by Jaw to tell students /, that it is wrong to be gny. Same-sex couples will not be eligible for equal housing opponunities or insurance benefits. Their reasoni ng for this legaliLcd discrimina tion?

4 Homo<;exuality is a sin. ·~ People could argue elemally whether thi, 1s or is not true. h' s a poin tless \ debate and one in which I refuse to , participate. What I want 10 discu~ here is why the ICA hns selected only this one "sin" from which society must be Rebecca Morrison saved. Let us allow, for the moment, thnt homosexuality is indeed a sin.

Opinion I have one question: Why buch zeal in focusini on this one group of sinners? If sinful behavior really WBIT1U1ts citizen action 10 protect tilt ~t of us. why nm take JCtion against all sinful behavior?

Say young Billy appro.icbe~ hi~ teacher ufter whoo) nnd admits that be lied 10 his pill'ents t/1c night before. Lying is a ~in. Oughtn't we pass l!l1 ini1ia11ve mandating 1ha1 his teacher tell Billy that he is wrong and should perhaps go 10 the school counselor for guidance?

Wh.1t ,r a married v.oman works in nn office and linds herself anracted to mnn who worl.s there? Coveting is a sin. Don't we, as a nation. hove o moral 1mpera11vc to figure out which office workers might be ha,•ing secret sexual thoughts about the others and deny them jobs?

I ha~e be.in in,·olved in class discu\.Sions defending the right 10 dnnk socially. Students and teacher-. said good and po~ilive things about alcohol, yet some consider drink sinful. Clenrly, an amendment to our State constitution mu~t be made 10 mal.e h illegal for anyone tn say anything in o public institution. such a!> a ~hoof, defending the nght to drink. Whal good is freedom of spe1.-ch if it only encourages wayward behavior? ll is a ~-tmingly impossible tn!>k 10 rid our society of the evils of one religion\ idea of sin. I rcalit.e. but if we believe the ICA h~ the right to focus 11s cMrgy against thi s one group 1h01 has one bcliavior in common. then we must not stop there. All sins, and all sinners, must be contained. ll will ta~c mnny years and much wor~. but v.e cannot lei these difficulties ~top our moral cru~c.

Remember, we :uc .ill \inner.., :ue we not? E, cntu:slly none of u~ will be able to nu,c children. find employment. speak fr~-ely.

111,c openly or Jive honestly. 13ut isn't it rather a smnll pnce 10 pay for the crodic:!llon of sin1 I wonder, though. whether ii is such a good idea 10 anempl 10 stop pcoplt from lo,·ing each other. In a world of ,•iolcnce, competition and hatred, I don't understand why anyone would wont to discourage affec11on and love. Why crcJte more friction and tension when there 1s more than enough 10 go :\/'Ound?

If the ICA w.ants to promote Godliness. it should promote Jove, the overwhelming and alt-encompassing quality of God. They should teach their childl't'n tolerance, respect and charity. They sh_ould fig~, the prollrcration of handguns in schools, the hate cnmes against minonty-and mniority-groups, the rising teen suicide rate. In shon, ~y should work 10 promote a btner place 10 live inste:id of singling out one pcreeivod group 10 oppress.

Oh, yes--and they could also remind their children of this imporuun lesson- judge not. lest ye be judged.

Bi/Homosexuals: Proud of p references Editor: I would like 10 thank you for publishing the editorial

by Mark Jerome and the piece on the conforcncc by Sherry Adkins, for it is only with information like this tha1 the general public can learn about the misconceptions nnd truths about homo/bisexuality. I know there :ire a few of you who are not in1eres1ed in my sexual orientation, but for those who are, I am bisexual. The reason I tell you this is becnuse it is who l am. This is not all I am, but it is o pan of me thnt I won1 recognized.

I nm not looking for any "spec1nl" rights, only for equal rights; there is a difference. I wan1 to be able to live in this free country with my right 10 be able to choose who I am intimate wlt.h. I don't wont your sympathy for I am strong in my sexual orientatlon and proud of the gay history thn1 I hove inherited. I want to be able 10 wnlk the streets holding ha.nds with my boyfriends, go to a college that won't judge me for my bi/homoscxuolily and live my life the way I choose to.

Knowing because I may sleep. kiss, hug, love or otherwise be romantic with o person of the same gender os myself that I might be excluded from activities that the heterosexual world panicipates in causes me to wonder if this society is really that liberal or educated. Did we not learn from Hitler's mistakes? Take another moment to re-

rc:1d Mr. Jerome's anlcle, bu11his lime replace nil reference to homosexuals with Jews or Blacks. Get 1hc point?

As far ns on all-gay organization on com pus goes. just cnll nny of the other major cduca1ion ins1i1u1ions in Idaho and you will find that we are the las1, no1 firs1, 10 come up wi1h this concept. It is called n club. 11 uni1cs people with same interests or goals. A lesbian, gny. biscxunl, and supponers club would do just thnt; ii would uni1e the people on campus who believe 1ha1 I do have 1he right to appreciaie my sexual orientation. Is that wrong'? Is it bad? If you 1hink me appreciating who I am is wrong or bad. then I would seriously think about how you are going abeut things in your own life.

I wan1 you 10 understand that I am only seeking to live a more comfonablc and undiscriminated life. I don't want to indocarinnte your children or have sex with every man I sec. I just want to be able to be proud of who I nm.

I already join my brothers and sisters in human p.amdcs and I invite them 10 do the same in gay pride parades. I just want 10 thank you again for educating our community on the truths and misconceptions of bi/homosexuality and may your pen now freely.

Californians: Can't we all just get along Editor: This is a letter in response to the opinion o.nicle "Californians, Welcome 10 ldnho.''

I would just like 10 know if you feel you have created the majestic beauty of Nonh ldnbo? I 100 nm a native to the Coeur d'Alene area. Born and raised. I nm also proud to say that I om a Realtor. I go out and find people - nice people I might add, from all over this great country of ours - plnces to live so that they too can enjoy the beauty of Idaho. I am proud to say that I would certainly not sell Sntnn an Inch of ground here or anywhere for as many millions of dollnrs he could find.

The Lord in his wisdom cren1ed tliis Earth for nil of mankind 10 live and enjoy as equals. I can'1 help but

think that if people all over the world would help each olhcr more and judge each other less, the world would be a bcuer place. As for you personally. I hope that your anger doesn't get in the way ofhuppincss. There are good and bad people in nil walks of life, in every industry. The bad ones didn't all come from California, nnd the good ones don't all live in Idaho. Michael Jackson may have snid it best. "Heal the world, make it a better place. for you and for me, and tl1e entire human roce. There :ire people dying. If you care enough for the living. make it a better plocc for you and me." I sincerely hope you find some peace.

Contest seeks out Brain of Coeur d'Alene After watching the late news a couple of night~ ago, I was obou1 to go 10 bed when a familio.r foce came on the screenDavid Lencrman.

"Cool," I 1hough1 10 myself, "a good chance to sec what Dave· s new show is all about."

With school studies and my new job as ovc™!er of relief funds for all State Linc massage pnrlor employees thrown out of work in the grent "Head 'cm up and move 'cm ou1" raid of '92. I hod not goncn a chance 10 view u:ucrman's program as of yet.

While watching "Late Show," I was especially interested in one of Lenerman' s guests. o man no med Geoff Colton. who's claim to fnme is 10 be named "Brain of Britain" for 1993. Collon explained tllilt it b o very prestigious award with hundreds of Britain's fines1 minds an,wcring three rounds of selfeliminating general knowledge questions with the survivor being nnmed the "Brain of Brimin." As the show concluded and the credits were rolling, I hnd reached a decision. How about n "Brain of Dan Bel Coeur d'Alene" contest?

Reali1.ing any good contest need~ 11 sponsor, I placed o call to Stanford. Conn.. home base of Champion Lumber Company.

The phone was answered promp1ly. "Plum Creek, I mean Champion. May I help you?" replied the voice.

"Dan Bell colling for Tucker Holl, please," I snid. (Hall is n leading spokesman and n long-time employee of the company.)

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hall is unovallable at lhis time, he presently con be found 01 our Bozeman, Mom .. site subdividing some of our land into ranchene:;. Would you like to leave u messager' "No thanks," I responded, "I'll call back."

After hanging up, I thought "Why sweat the sponsorship?

When word of this contest gets out, they'll be lining up in multiples of three 10 represent this thing.''

I decided next to come up with a set of rules that would follow a basic "Brain of Britain'' fom101.

Rule No. I: You must have been born in nonhem Idaho or far Western Montana and have a birth cenificate on hand to provo it. (This rule is designed to keep out the Californian ioierlopers.)

Rule No. 2: Becllusc this contest is dcmogrJphically limited, it has been decided that all first brother and si~ter and first cousin marriages will be allowed to enter as n team, provided they sign an affidavit acknowledging the winner(s) will share the priu awarded. No duplicates.

That about does it for the rules.

The following is a list of snmple questions intended for any interes1ed po.nicipant(s): No. I: Before going to bed at night do you· A) Remove the snuff in your mouth; B) Swallow the snuff in your mouih: C) Leave the snuff in your mou1h allowing lhe juice to run down your neck and chest, seuling obout your navel m 3 brownish pool.

No. 2: When hunting elk with a muule loader in o tight circle of79 other friends and relatives during the opening minutes of hunting season, it 1s a good idea to: A) Make ~ure it's ligh1 enough to shoot and k.ill the elk. not hit cousin Clem in the crossftre; B) When the carnage is complc1c, be the first to step forwo.rd 10 claim the prire kill; C) Bring a video camera next year hoping to capture footage to get you on American Sponsman.

Preny easy, huh? Prizes are undecided yet. bul remember it's the thrill of vic1ory and h's all in fun.

Editor: In complete awe, I read 1he letter wriuen by !11e Dean of Administration in response 10 an ruticle wrinen by a young rcponcr, Jolene Green, on sexual hll!1lSSment. Granted, sexual implications can go both ways, but I feel Mr. Jurgens 1wis1ed the poor girl's words 10 make her look prctry foolish. Who gives him 1hc right 10 take someone's personal opinion and shred it to an embnrrnssing jumble for people to ridicule?

There is no place for a "flin" in the work force, on that I do agree with Mr. Jurgens. yc1 I think that when you work with people closely and know them a.s well os you come to know most co-workers. it becomes an unavoidable situation. Is Mr. Jurgens so perfect that he hos never joked with a coworker ond had a conversation with a "friend" a1 work that would seem inappropriate to someone who possibly did not know him? If his answer is no. then he is the first perfect person I have ever heard of.

Even though I feel ii is normal for flirting 10 an extent I think the message that the young rcponcr he bashed was trying to get across was th.al when someone in authority. such as an employer. a teacher or someone older th.no herself whom she does not know well says things 10 her in a manner of sexual capnciry, its uncomfonnble and should not have 10 be 1olero1ed by anyone male or female. young or old. I don't feel that the reponer was saying that jus1 because an individual is older, anything is taken ou1 of context is "se,11ual harassment."

1 also do not understand where Mr. Jurgens can say so confidently that most people who experience sexual har3SSmen1 are past the "jailbai1'' age. Thal is not true. Does he feel that you can only be harassed if you are older and have been in the work force longer than a few years? Come on. talk about calling the kettle black!

by Raebel Wlllhnns lns1an1 Cuhurc Editor ince August, the NIC Concen Cbolr has been preparing for its biggest musical performance of the year. The Nonh Idaho Symp)lony Orches1ra hos been rehearsing since its las1 performance in Oc1obcr for the even1.

The choir and orchcs1rn ore ge11ing ready to perform Georg Friedrich Handel's "Messiah'" for their Chris1mas production. Two performances will be shown in 1hc NIC Audi1orium. The firs1 on Saturday, Dec. 4. 01 8 p.m. and the second Dcc..5. 01 2 p.m.

Hondel wos born in Germany, but then moved 10 lrnly where he began 10 compose. After living in llaly for three years. Handel took his work 10 London. where he became well known for his composing. According 10 NIC music ins1ruc1or Todd Snyder. Hondel didn'1 really have a nn1ionalhy 10 de.~cribe what kind of music he composed. but ins1cud he must be described as a "cosmopoli1an composer." In foci, Snyder said, he is known as one of the first cosmo composers.

The performance will include 53 pieces of music ranging from cn1ire choral parts 10 individual solos. Snyder said 1his is "Messiah" in its entirely. The ora1orio as ii is called. includes everything in 1he Bible from right before Chris1's binh to his oc1uol birth, his life, his death and his resurrection. Oratorio.

Snyder said, is a type of performance exactly like opera. bu1 it is not staged, meaning 1ha1 1here are no sets, props and makeup. II can be best described as a "musical theater."

"All of the 1ex1s are literally ou1of lhe Bible,"·Snyder said.

The orchestra will be perfoming righ1 on the stage along with 1he choir. Four of lhe choruses will be performed by a special group of 30 voices chosen out of the eniire choir.

Snyder said 1ha1 lhe original performance of "Messiah" was done en tirely with only a 30-voice-group. The original performance was done ror a fund raiser in Dublin, Ireland. 10 benefit a children's hospital.

Some of 1he sign1fican1 pieces in 1he show include the ollfomilinr "Hallelujah Chorus· 10 more unknown pieces like "I Know My Rl!decmer Liveth'' and "Trumpe1 Shall Sound" 1ha1 includes a 1rumpc1solo by Jim Myers.

Snyder said possibly the 1wo most emo1ional pieces of the performance are ''Surely He Bor~ Our Grief" and "And With His Stripe~ We Arc Healed." The firs1, he said. is incredibly strong 10 conduct because he feels great emotion 01 the thought of someone else bearing his cross of sin for him. Snyder calls it a "very strong s101emcn1." Then the following song brings 1hc choir and conductor alike back together af1er being cmotionnll y lorn apan.

Snyder's only concerns for the performance arc 1he endurance of his performers. the crowd and even himself. He wants 10 present "Messiah" as n 1hca1rical piece and he wanis the audience 10 capture the essence of dmma in the show.

"I want ii 10 be as sirong as possible," Snyder snid.

Arc 1hc choir and orchestra ready? Snyder said they arc close. The choir hos been doing fine in rehcarsah and the orches1ro is working hard 01 geuing the music down. The two groups 1ogc1her only have three more rehea.rsals before 1he production.

"I'm ready," said Snyder, lnughing. "I was ready in August" As "Messiah'" will last three hours. Snyder sugges1s 1ha1 young children not attend. However. he said 1ha1 "the music in it's so diverse and so theatrical it's worth every minute of ii."

This is the first lime NJC has had a performance of "Messiah" in its entirety.

"This is the first time I've conducted the entire thing; this time is very imponant 10 me." Snyder said. expressing also that i1's probably the last time he will conduct the whole thing.

"It's going 10 be a thrilling experience 10 go through 1he entire theater piece," Snyder said. " It's monumenrnl. • Tickets are S5 for adults, S3 for senior citiu:ns.S I for children. Studenis and staff are ad mined free with ID. For more information, call 769-3415.

Bizarre, obscure. . 'A Streetcar Named Desire' leaves too much to be desired by ~ th Slevcnplper Sentinel Reporter Isn't it funny how some movie.\ hnvc a n:putation for being just terrific. but when you sec them, they're nothing but a letdown? For me, "A Streetcar Named Desire" is just such a movie.

Oh. wh;it could Tennessee Williams (oops, nlmost said Tennessee Ernie Ford) have hod on his Iii-or -mind when he wrote the Pulitier Prize-winning play thai this provocative movie is based on? Perhops sex?! Well, thot would stand 10 reason, considering thn1 passion white-hot enough to singe your nose hairs is the central theme.

Now. nonnally l might go for a theme like thn1 in a big way. but not in this case. I guess that I'm not civilized enough 10 appreciate this famous work of celluloid.

!Video Review...

Whot's that? You'd like me 10 tell you more? Why, I'd be delighted. "A Streetcar Named Desire" is about a southern belle named Blanche DuBois.

Vivien Leigh played lhe woman still clinging 10 the notion of Southern nobility, a woman whose gr3Sp or reality nears the snapping point. Blanche leaves her home after the childhood esrntc in her cru-e has 10 be sold, only to take up residence with her si~tcr, played by Kim llun1er, who won on Oscar award for her pcrfonnnncc.

Blanche isn't entirely welcome in the dilapidated hou~e. ~pecinlly by Sianlcy Kowalski, her brother-in-Jaw.

The story is basically about Blanche's departure from the world of renlily, partially driven there by Stanley.

Another viewer said thn1 "Streetcar" is a look into the lives of Jower-<:lass people in the 1930s. lt doesn't paint a prcny picture.

As Stanley Kowalski. Marlon Brando (yes, that Marlon Brando) proves himself as an actor of substance and talcn1 as the abusive, slauem husband of Kim Hunter.

A friend or mine said. "What happened to him?"

Appru-ently he's not as handsome as he used to be. But aside from Dick Clark, time ha.~n·1 been gentle on many or us.

Kru-1 Malden, the "don't leave home without it" American Express guy, also plays a strong supporting role as Blanche's love interest. He. olong with Leigh, Hunter, and Brando were all nomin:u~-d.

Asidc from Drando, they all won. In fact, "Streetcar'' was the first mo,•ie to ever win three of the four acting awnrds the Academy presents. That still doesn't mnke me like this obscure, bizarre tale. Neither docs the fact that it was directed by two-time Ac:idemy-Awanl winning director Elia Kaz:in.

Brando's introducing an innovative new style of ncttng that I don't particulru-ly like doesn't touch me either.

However. I do have to respect ''A S1rce1cnr Named Desire" for the interesting effect it had on both l'ilmmaking and American society.

You know, loyal readers, ii also sets an c:xample for behavior. An example of how not to behave. Huvc a great Thanksgiving. and take my advice: Don't spend II watching "A Streetcar Named Desire.''

Comedian brings more to act

.than just traditional laughs Wopat's comedian and musician all in one

by Kendra Pe.rshall Smtlntl Reporter hal comedian Dave Wopal gave !he audience in his performance lasl Wednesday in lhe SUB was more than jusl laughs. He displayed vocal musical llllen1 along wilh comedy in an extremely entertaining performance.

Now I was told he was Jus1 a comedian. And thnl he is. bul I found oul lhal he is a singer and a good one a1 !hat He star1ed oul !he show wilh a song called "S1ep by S1ep." Wopa1's entire "band" was basically a compu1er.

From drums to back up singers. The sound was amazing.

He performed 1wo ofElvis Prcsly' s songs, "All Shook Up," wilh some help from !he crowd, and '1 Can't Help Falling in Love Wilh You." He also performed Garth Brooks' "The Dance,'' and a few selections from his own creative solos: "I'm in Love Wilh !he McDonalds Girl'' and his own creation for !he new Boy

W

ScoulS Iheme song "Be Prepared" (not recommended for children under 13).

Of course. 10 please !he counlry fans. he did o new and improved fusl verse 10 Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line." The first line stated lhal he held his panlS up wilh a piece of twine.

The chorus? Well it sounds a li1tle like this. "If you are mine, please pull !he twine." One of his final songs was a song which was released by his brolher, Tom Wopat, who slOITed in !he "Dukes of Hazard" and is now a musician himself.

Wopa1's performance was very funny and 1he music was outslallding. The crowd, which consis1ed mostly of

When Wopal assigned hand motions or crowd panicipation. almosl everyone joined in. h's 100 bad !he performance couldn'l have been an evening show. I lhink !he tum-0u1 would have been much bener.

Between eating lunch and taking off 10 class, many people weren'l able 10 stay and enjoy lhe show, and thnl's a shame because il wos definilely wonh seeing.

Band, gospel choir reach crowd with African and church tunes

African music isn't something you hear very often, especially for the opening act of a gospel choir.

This dive~ style of music played by the local Coeur d'Alene Marimba Band was appreciated by all.

This seven-piece band wore simple but effective costumes of • T-Shins with fossils along with beaded ncckloces which kepi with the jungle theme.

After the jungles of Africa, I entered the atmosphere of a church.

This exuemely talented 14-member group from Seanlc, ranging in age from 12 to adult, pcrfonned more than just plain church music.

They opened their eightsong set with "Down by t.he Riverside," which everyone clapped and sang along 10.

II was a great choice to get the crowd going.

Pat Wright, founder and director of the Total Experience, sang her favorite song. " He's Never Failed Mc,'' which she admits the choir gets tired of singing.Wright displayed incredible range.

Following that was "Don'1 wait till the Battle is Over." which was led by Gena Brook. a 21-year-old who has been with the Total Experience for 15 years. By her smiling face nnd great enthusiasm, it was very obvious that she has enjoyed singing with the Tot.al Experience most of her life.

Union ·'Beal and Beal' exhibit presents couple's artwork GaJlery:

Ruth Beal shows her artwork to students Angelina Gonnan and Jeremy Rogers following the gallery walk Nov. 9. photo by Sherry Adkins

by Sherry L. Adkins Sentinel Reporter Visi1 the Union Gallery sometime this month and chances are you will experience the likes of "Beals grealelil hils"' and the ''rut on a box series."

These are all pan of the "Beal and Beal: Exiles from the Garden" c1.hibit tha1 is available for viewing in the gallery umil Nov.r 29.

The collection offers a wide varic1y of painlings, consiruc1ions and pho1ographs lhal are interpreted lhrough various themes.

Bruce Beal, artisl and painting insirucior at Eas1em Washington Univcrsi1y, adds color to 1he exhibi1 with his impressionis1ic painting of landscapes. Ruth Beal. Bruce·s bener half who is an anist in her own righl, is responsible for the phoiogrophy and construction. which add chnroc1cr 10 this display.

All of the crea1ive duo·s work is done in Cheney, Wash where Bruce has a studio and Ru1h works ou1 of a garage which serves as a makeshift s1udio/workshop.

A well nuendcd gallery walk oo Nov. 9 allowed the couple to address each work of art while sharing anecdotes and his1ory of the pieces. Bruce revealed tha1 he paints for himself as a method of escape bul his paintings can be in1crpre1ed as whatever the viewer wants it to be. He paints all his work on the same siz.e canvas bul there is nothing mys1crious or superstitious nboul ii. He simply measured his car and chose a paniculnr siz.e which Iii. one tha1 is easily shipped by the United Parcel Service.

Despile numerous trips 10 the Hawoiian Islands. which arc reflcc1ed in his paintings. Bruce docs all his work in the s1udio while listening 10 Elvis Presley. II was 100 difficuh 10 pain1 on the islands due to the overabundance of surrounding beauty. according 10 Bruce, so he used pho1ographs to help crea1e a mood selling for his paintings.

Af1er being diagnosed with thyroid cancer 10 years ago, Bruce swi1ched 10 acrylic painis because of high 1ox.icity levels in the fumes of other ma1erials. His work has become more enjoyable and life a 1i1tle less serious after his diagnosis. Bruce said. Pa1n1ing is his release from reali1y. but he strongly recommends a second job for aspiring anisis in 1oday's world.

Ruth· s work, humorously dubbed the "art on a box. series" by the anist herself; consislS of three-<limensional pieces fined on pedeslllls. The constructions convey themes of dea1h nnd aging, 1ime. parks and the Palouse. In fae1, Ruth migh1 consider 1he Palouse itself her s1udio when she ga1hers dyes from plants 10 add an array of colors to her crea1ions.

Other favori1e ma1crinls used in the assemblage of the constructions arc rcncc1ors. sandpaper. Victorian beads and pho10 laser cuts on plas1ic. all of which add a personal 1ouch of uniqueness 10 each piece.

Nearly all of the works have music bo~es with a varie1y of runes that encourage a hands-on pnrticipa1ion from admirers.

Allie Vogl, gallery director. said Ruth is very concerned about her works being s1urdy so people can in1ernc1with them.

"She is making visual statemcnis by using a number of 1hings. but her work has n message." Vogt said.

The constructions seem simplistic bul Ruth hopes they show "a balance of whal is good in our Ii ves and what we have 10 go through."

Men blazing early

by Mork A. Jerome Stnti11el Editor The Nonh Idaho Cardinals men's baske1bnll 1eam made good in ils season opener Tuesday nigbl rallying 10 o,·cnake the Lewis-Clark S101e College junior varsity 83-66 in front of an estimated 500 fans gnthered 01 Christianson Gym. Sophomore guard Damien Edwards tossed in a game-high 28 points nod pulled down 13 boards as he paced the Cardinals 10 the win.

"He played real well. obviously," Cardinal conch Rolly Williams said. "He left with leg cramps near the end: that's n good sign. He was working his lnil off ou1 there."

Other big conuibuiors for the Cardino ls were Derrick Ellioll, who scored 20 points (including four 3-poinl shots). and Australian Paul Rogers. who added 18 points and seven rebounds.

NIC has perennially disposed or the Warriors JV squad with rela1i ve ease, but this year's scrappy team was n different story.

This year's Warrior JVs are actually just some younger players from lhe vnrsicy squad because LCSC has dropped its men's junior varsity program. The JV's entire season consists of only two games: the NIC mntchup and a game with Cardinal arch rival College of Southern Idaho. which LCSC los1 92-83.

Both teams bauled evenly in the firsl half with neither 1eam willing 10 take advantage or the others miscues. Other than Edwards 16 first-hnlf points, the game looked like a season opener. with both teams commining several turnovers and missing shots right under the basket. The Warriors 100k n 36-35 lead into the locker room a1 the half.

'They physically outplayed us in the first half: we weren't running on all of our cylinders.''

Wi lliams said. 'They ouu-cbounded us, bu1 the real difference was their defense. They changed their defense on us and we had no idea what 10 do."

A good ponion of 1he second half was rough! by the Cardinals n1 the foul line as they were given free trips 14 times compared 10 only four in the lirsl half. NlC 100k advantage of 1hc Warriors· fouls by sinking 14 of 18 free throws.

The Cardinals finally took the lead for good with four minutes remaining when Elliou hit the second of 1wo consecutive 3-poini ~hols pulling the score at 68-62. From there, NIC spread the floor as well as the score.

"We hit the free 1.hrows down the ~tre1ch when wc n.:eded lo," Williams snid. "They also picked up the pace when they had 10."

Leading 1J1e Warriors were Ron Waller and Troy Schelb, both scoring 14 points.

The Cardinals travel south 10 Twin Falls for their next mntchup where they will compete in a regular season tournnmcnl. NIC will be pu1 10 an early test as it 1oxes on 1wo Ari1.onn junior college teams including Mesn Valley on Friday. MVCC was ranked eighth in the nation last year for Junior colleges.

NIC's next home uppe11rance will be next Fridny, Nov. 26, against Lethbridgc Community College. Tip-off is m 7:30 p.m.

Being a moden11ely 1akn1cd a1hle1e in high school. I remember road tri~ with an urrav of la<cball. football an<l basketball teams.

Arriving In Rexburg, Russ drove IU'Ollod the parking lot 12 times and fioally parked. The girls go1 1h<1ir keys. We went to our rooms.

No dice.

Sakiko Nakazawa: Loss of a friend Summit: What was the point?

Dear Friend.

To Know Snkiko Nakazawa was 10 admire her in1ellec1, gentle poise. thoughlfulness and quick humor.

Sakiko came 10 NlC in 1984 and gradua1cd in 1986. She rc1umed 10 Japan via Fronce and Tunisia.

She held various business posilions and conlinucd 10 perfec1 her knowledge of English. Snkiko was the English language announcer at ll1e 1988 Olympic ~Id-jump trials in Japan.

Her longing for North Idaho brought her and friend Sawako back for a visi1 in 1988. She and her family hosted our visit to Japan in 1989.

At an elegant wedding on June 14, 1992. Snkiko became the bride of Hiroyuki Ishii. a medical joumo.Jist. 111ey honeymooned in the USA. Showing Washington. Idaho and Montann 10 Sakiko and Hiroyuki was a joy. They appreciated rhe entire American experience, from ealing hamburgers to visiting nntiono.J parks 10 boaling on Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Proudly Sakiko showed her alma mnter

to her husband and eagerly introduced Hiroyuki 10 the people who had been importanl to her at NlC. June 1993 marked the newlyweds' lirst anniversary and a trip to the hospital with a mysierious illness. Surgery in August broughl dreaded news.

On Nov. 2 our lovely Sakiko lost 1he baule to cancer. She would have been 29 on Nov. 22.

Considering lhc customs of our countries. it appears that notes to Snkiko•s husband or parents are the most thoughlful and appropriate expression of concern.

Please contact me (we're in the book} for lshii's home address in case that you have time to send a card or note explaining how and in what capacity you knew Sakiko. The Japanese script label needs to be glued or taped w,d will cxpcdile transport. Air mail to Japan is 50 cents.

111nnk you for helping us all accepl this un1imcly passing Wld the fact that Sakiko is needed more elsewhere.

The four-year college was led in scoring by star Krista Wilkens. who led lhe learn wilh 16 points. She also hod clgh1 rebounds.

The second grunc, agninsl Moniann Tech, was much the same as lhe Cards los166-49.

"The srnts moy be deceiving." Hill said. "Ploying ogninsl four-year schools gives us 1he e.~pericncc we need."

Gn.-enwood agoin led !he Cards wilh 16 points, sinking 8 of 17 shoLS. Mor1cnsen, one of NIC's 1hree reiumcrs was held scoreless.

The Cards other lop scorers in the grune were 6' 3'' freshman S1ephanie Sutter from Puyallup.

Wash.. wi1h 11 poinLS. and Mccullough and sophomore Lori Mader, o 5' 6" guard from Couonwood. Idaho, odded 7 points c.ich.

Other players on the team include: sophomore Shawnn Johnson (5' 9" from Whi1elish, MonL}, and freshmen Jelcna Zrnic (6' S" from Zllgrcb, Croatia}, Brandy Ross (6' from St. Maries, Idaho). Julie Weisel (S' 9" from Coeurd' Alene), Julie Wilkins (5' 10'' from Ennis.

Idaho), Rcbeool Tolin (5' 7" from Ft. Morgan, Colorado), Carrie Evans (5' 6" from Havre, Mont.} and Jody Harris (6' from Emme11, Idaho). ''The key 10 this young 1ean1 will be de,-eloping throughoul the year," Hill said, "so our peak will be playing our besl baskelball 01 regionals."

The Canfow.ls will see aclion in two away games, Nov. 26 against Big Bend and then

Ediior.

In response 10 1he article covering lhe Idaho Smdenl Summil in Boise. I feel 1ha1 1he Senlinel repon.ers toto.Jly missed the poinl in their undersianding and their coverage.

The main goal of the Summit was 10 bring 1oge1her studem representnlivcs from Boise Smle Universiiy. Universiiy of Idaho. Idaho Sime Universily. Lewis and Clark S1a1e College. College of Southern Idaho and North Idaho College in an effon 10 create a major lobby group in lhe suuc of Idaho.

Among 1hc six instiiutions. we would collectively rcpresen1 approximaiely 40,000 people. The primary objective for the summit was to adopt a S101ement of Goals.

These goals were designed by BSU 10 give us direction and focus. They will be wha1 all six ins1i1u1ions will strive for by pressuring the Staie Board of Educaiion and the Stale Lcgislalurc.

The delegaiion from North Idaho College. which included myself and two elccled oflicers along with one s1udcn1 and two Scnlincl reporters. voted against the adoplion of lhese goo.ls. By nol signing !his documem. we, the instilutions. are nol unified in our efforts. which is o major factor 1hn1 will be noiiced by lhc Staie Board nnd 1he Legislnturc. Our main concern as a whole, was 1ha1 mos1 of the goals were very broad and 100 general. Mony goals have already been accomplished and guaran1ced by the

Bill of RightS, such as freedom of speech and the press.

The main controversy centered around a goal tha1 would be accomplished when a s1uden1 member is placed on the Siote Boord of Educ1ion 10 represen1 1he voice of all six ins1i1u1ions. This is no1 possible for a fulltime siudem 10 effcc1ively represent his or her own ins1i1u11on as well as live olhers and their in1ercsts. The issues that affect each college or university need 10 be addressed with lhe State Board on individual basis rhrough the proper channels. Ir is my coniention lhal the Semincl did nol do its pan in covering this s1ory 10 lnfonn each s1uden1 of the impac1 !he Idaho S1udcn1 Lobby could have on college life.

I feel 1h01 1his summit was a perfect example of two major instilutions bullying the Jillie guys 10 get whnt they want. The Scniinel reponers totally missed the poin1. which is a shnme. because !hey had direct involvement und even voled on these very issues during lhe summi1. The weekend in Doi\e sho"cd how much or 3n impact ASNIC elected officers con make nnd how much 1hey can offeel everyone on our campu~. It just goes to show that even though we !he students of North Idaho College: can make o diffcr.:nce. 1he Sentinel fails 10 nolice our efforts.

College conducts employee survey

by JollllS Gornuskas

St111inel Rtpcrter An employee survey was conducted at the request or lhe Board ofTrustces, at Nonh ldllho College to dc1em1ine lhc training needs of staff nnd faculty.

ResullS will be prescmcd by NlC's SU'lltcgic Planning Council on next week's Weeks Wonh.

The survey was administered a week ago. Responses are being returned and will be scanned by computer. Results will be given 10 President Bob Bennell's office. NlC' s Strategic Council will begin 10 use recommendations of survey in training nctivitics for slllff and faculty members.

The survey forms consisted of questions concerning NlC's employee's skills in two different aspeclS, tcclmical or computer skills and interpersonal skills. The interpersonal skills question sheet was divided in two paru ilSelf. One was a supervisor fonn nnd lhc other a non-supervisor form.

'The college needs 10 bencr understand employee's training needs and belier spend lhe college training

money," said Roben Ketchum. the college's tmining progran1 supervisor.

On these forms every question was ranked from one to five-one meaning that lhe employee has very high ski ll on lhal task and five meaning lhal 1.he employee needs immediate training on lhe given wk. Employees were asked lO consider every question carefully so lhe Training Council would come up wilh thorough rcsullS. The forms for lhis survey are confidential, and management will only be provided wilh a summary of lhe results.
