Administration examines Hedlund reopening by Sherry Adkins St11ti11cl Reporter Two years and $907. 000 Inter career-oriented students could be calling the Hedlund Building home next semester. The opening of the building is contingent upor. a series of air quality tests 10 be done by CH2M-Hill, on international engineering finn based in Snit Lake City. Dr. Joe Malone. from the !inn's environmental testi ng and safety division, was scheduled 10 begin the first 1es1 in a series of three on Tuesday. The other two air quality tests will be done tluoughout the spring semester while the building is occupied. The upper level of1he bui lding, closed in Moy of 1991 due 10 health concerns of staff and students, has undergone a complete overhaul of problem areas. Dean of Adminiwntion Rolly Jurgens said. The scheduled re-opening is based on positive expcctntions of the January test resul ts. Despite several damaged health claims from employees and n pending lawsuit, the problems in the building have never been pinpointed but Jergens said that at one time tests revealed a high carbon monoxide level. This wns probably

due to fresh air intakes bringi ng the fumes back into the building on a still day. he said. Levels since then have never tested above the allowable amount. "The problems were undc1cm1ined," he said. "We will, however. cake into consideration any suggestions made by Dr. Molone." A lawsuit against NIC by fom1cr student Sharon roster is pending with a possible spring trial date. Foster claims her health was damaged while;mending classes in the Hedlund Building before the 1991 closure. The campus Environmental Safety Commillce, chaired by Robenn Black. will consult with Malone 10 collaborate on safety suggestions and test results. The extensive renovation includes the redesigning of the heating, venting ond nir conditioning systems throughout the entire building. Repairs include duct work, extended venting nnd air conditioning systems tluoughout tl1c entire building. Repairs include duct work, extended venting systems, fan efficiency modHicnlions nnd redesigned ventilation in the welding, auto body nnd diesel sops that occupy the main noor.

The auto body primer booth was restructured to accommodat.: noxious fumes and a Car-Mon system hns been added to the diesel shop. This system was designed to take cnrbon monoxide from a vehicle's cithaust and move it to the outside of the building. The $907,000 price tog for updating the building does not include an additional $300.000 budgeted for a new roof. NIC maintenance crews nave been cleaning ceiling tiles, hooking up computer and telephone acJess and insullling controls for all the new systems. Additions to the upper level include the electronics. drafting and law enforcement programs. A new kitchen, complete with a restoumnt and food serving area. wi ll serve as the classroom for the culinary an students. The computer science nnd bu~inc~ applications will eventually be on the second noor but will probably remain above tl1e library until summer due too lack of 1cm1inal access. The site may become the unofficial, temporary destination for the Sentinel stnrr if tl1c CSl3A program remains in the library, according to Jerry Gee, dean of inslI\letion. 111C facility will eventually house I00 studenis.

Students face registration by Joslin Smilh Newsediror Many or the science classes that used 10 remnin open 1hroughou1 1hc rcgisir.11ion process are filling up lhis scmesier, Jccording 10 Regis1rar KMcn S1rce1er. Among the firs1 classes 10 close. S1ree1er soid, were an Engineering Graphics and a Physics 113 course. On Dec. 7, Siree1cr said. 1h01 one or 1he biggest problems for s1udcnts was 1hc muner or ha,•ing 10 toke care or parking tickets before 1hc.y regis1ered. This required s1uden1s 10 moke a 1rip down 10 1he business office becuase, 1his yeM, the computer sys1em was sci up so 1ha1 only people who could 1oke 1he hold off or a s1udcnl's lile was lhc office that placed ii there. 01herwise, registra1ion appears to proceeding sinoo1hly. S1ree1er a11ribu1ed 1his 10 1he new sys1em or allowing students 10

register in order or credits and advisng staius, and said 1ha1 the RcgistraJ's Office is looking inio making the process easier for everyone involved. This includes the introduction or touch-tone regis1ra1ion sometime around the fall semc.s1er of '95. which is one of the things 1ha1 the college is work.ing toward. Streeter said. As of Dec. 8, 01 3: 12 p.m.. 1.301 s1uden1s had rcgis1ered. This number was up by about 300 s1uden1s above Josi year's second day figures. S1rcc1cr a11ribu1ed much of the increase 10 the fac1 1h01 in the past 1cchnicol students were entered ni a later time than lhis year. Of 1hosc registered, 1his yenr, 1,077 filed as academic and 224 were entered n.~ technical studen1s. Streeter said 1ha1 she expects a1 least abou1 2,000 s1uden1s 10 register 1his December, with the 101al enrollment for the spring semester lo be about the same as las1 semester.

&e.iitlflWI fnnln once said be lhankfu1 for fools for olheJ wise we would el look lice idiots.

Three groups register early by Fckudu Klros and Justin Smith Sc111i11el Sraff One of the proc1ices employed by the odminis1ra1ion 10 ease the process of registration this year for 1he entire su1den1 body was the cnrly registration of three groups: 1echnicol s1uden1s, nursing siudents and athletes. According 10 President Bob Bennen, 1hese were groups were selected for early regis1ra1ion for scheduling reasons. "We were very deliberale abou1 trying to be fair." Benncll said. Nursing students were chosen for early regis1ru1ion, Bcnnell said. because they have clinicals 1ha1they must auend, and go 10 cenain core classes 10 remain in the program. Technical s1uden1s also must go 10 lab classes in their program and meet core class requirements, Bennen said. A1hlc1es were firs! allowed 10 register earl y one year ugo last spring. " LaM spring, condiiions were explained which made it nccessllf)' for some kind or allowance," Bennc11 said,

adding 1ha1 when the college signed several students up for scholarships as las1-minu1e recruits. it had the responsibili1y 10 get them into core classes and get them certain crcdi1s. Bcnne11 said 1ha1 1he only difference between a1hle1ic s1udents and other students is that a1hlctes can be seen as a group, giving 1alen1in exchange for school. and the school mus1 make ccnain accommoda1ions 10 where they take closses. According to Bcnnell, the process allows for a coach 10 1ake the regis1ra1ion fom1 nround and fill it out with 1hc students as they advise 1hcm,or if the advisers choose 001 10, they can clear a pass wi1h the rcgis1rnr's office so the s1udcn1 may go ahead and register in an earlier 1ime slol. Although some students may have filled ou1 rcgis1ro1ion fom1s wi1h their conches the week before. none of those fonns were entered imo 1he computers un1il the morning of Dec. 7. according to Koren Streeter, registrar.

Sexuality conference dominates discussion Trustees meeting draws crowd wishing to discuss college involvement

I

by Mkhelle Sfh"end Sentinel Reponer The conw,·ersial homosc~uality confcrcnl'C drew mOl>t of the a11cn1ion 01 1~1 month's board of truSU:es meeting. Abou1 100 people showed up a1 the NIC board of trustees meeting on Nov. 22 10 discuss the reasons why the Nov. 12- 13 conforencc on issues dealing with lesbian, gay and bisexual youth should« should not ha, e been nllowed. Boord chairperson Betty McLain read the college's statement. which said the board did no1 sponsor or endonc the conference. but makes campus fociliues available for a wide variety of activities. OpponenL~ of the conference ~aid the college was promoting an unhe.llthy lifc\lylc and sexual ac1h•i1y that is a felony in ldnho. Man Rocuer, a memb.!r of the Kootenai County Idaho Citizens Alliance, said thc conference wa.s censored, bia.\Cd and lldvoca1ed the homoscxool lifcs1ylc. He spoke of children that were there and how lhey could have a c:ool.ic in one hand and a copy of"Lesbian Sex" IR the other hand. "II promo1ed felonious acts nnd di)Jlhl)'Cd sexunlly cxplio:i1 litemure within reach of any youngster," Rocucr said. Pl:ggy Federica, sociology instructor and the adviwr to the Human F.quality Club, which sponsored the conference, said the pwpose of the ronference was 10 l111in professionals and build a suppon ~ for friends and families of gays. She reiterated the owrview of the conference by saying that lhe pwpose was 10 provide :iccurate information and incrca'IC awareness. She 5laled

that It was held a1 NIC becau.'IC "II is a place to discuss controversial topics in osafe and comfonable environment. II is a place where uuth can be pursued." "As educa1ors, we need to be 1cachers of equity." she said. Marty Hann, a local dentist. said the college shouldn't encourage )luden1s 10 focus lheir idc.n1i1y on wha1 1hey do sexually, or encoumge youthful sexual CJtpcrimemmion. "l treal them. I've seen them die. They're not beaten up. Th<!y die from AIDS," he said. Soon the conference disc~ions came 10 a hall and olher commentary had 10 be poMponed to the end of lhe meeting. which con1inucd on for another hour. When 1.he floor becJ10e open 10 01her bu.,,ineM, nearly half the audience lefl 10 wait in lhe hall until the end of lhe meeting. Add~ing the board for th.! se.:ond time, Roener questioned the liability for displaying pornography and a.~ked if 1ruS1ecs will allow llnOlhcr conference. President Bcnncn refused 10 answer when asked by Roener ifhe thought homose>.uality was an acccpcable lifestyle. ASNIC Prcsidem Christa Marus recci\'ed a slallding ovation when she said~ decided 10 give permission for lhe conference to be held on campus. She said that the decision, dc5pitc her own beliefs, was an issue that need to be addressed. She wanted complaints to be dirn:ted 10 her office because the dec.-ision was noc only the adminis1ration's and the ~ponsoring club's, but lhe srudcnt body's as well.

panicipa1e in 1he program, according 10 Presidenl Bob Dennen. Benneu said 1ha1 wi1hou1 1he loan agency as a middleman 10 pick up the extra cost of handling the paperwork, schools may end up with added responsibili ty and the cost of hiring extra personnel. "If such is 1he case, the student will be left off the hook for extra interest. but 1he taxpayer may have 10 come 10 1he table again 10 absorb the exlra cost of another student service mandated by the federal governmen1," Benncll said. "Wether the dollars saved on 1hc s1udcnt loan default rates will be more than the extra costs that will be needed by higher e-d institutions 10 process the new system remains to be seen." Under the current Federal Family Education Loan Program, students apply for loans 1hrough colleges, 1he banks supply the money and 1he government pays the interest un1il 1he s1uden1 leaves the school. If a s1uden1 defaults, ii is up to one of the 47 guaran1or agencies 10 repay the lender and try 10 collect the deb1. The federnl government estimates

direct loans could save up 10 S4.3 billion in five years because of the fees it now pnys lenders and from fewer defaults. The government. in the fiscal year 1993, issued 6. 1 million loans wonh SIS billion. Default cos1s totnl S2.5 billion. Approximately I, I00 institutions applied for the direc1-loan program. About 900 met eligibility rcquiremen1s. To be eligible schools mus1 participate in FPELP, have a default rote less than 25 percent and have implemented machinery necessary 10 electronicnlly process loan applications. Although NIC meets tow of the 1hrec requirements, equipment for processing loans is no1 yet available. some schools are apprehensive because of the cost factor ad an1icipn1e funding problems. Bennett ag.reed 1ha1 this would be a major consideration for administralors bu1 there are no immedia1c plans 10 adopt this program on campus. However. Bennett nddcd NJC is keeping a watchful eye on the success of 1he program. "There ore no plons ns of now," he said. We arc just wailing and wo1ching. •

Two week.~ la1er, Jones had not shown up for any of the board meetings or written the resignmion lcuer, Manis said. The board then vo1ed 10 remove Jones from the ASN1C senator body, based on the Anicle U, Section 1wo of ASNlC bylaws. According to the NlC S1udent Handbook. Section II of Article a states that "II shall be the duty of the several elccth'C officers of ASNIC to attend all regularly scheduled ASN1C meetings. No more than lhrce unexcused Board meetings may be missed during each school semes1cr." Former scna1or Jason Jones was uncomestcdly elected for f~an scn.itor on the las1 ASNIC elections. No one else was running for the chair at thai lime, Manis said. Manis said llul1 she chose Joy Lopes as new freshman senator a couple of weeks after removing Jones from the Board.

Student ponders Santa Claus--seeks out true spirit of holiday season Writing about whether there really is a Sanlll Claus or 001 may be an o,·enuled, overused subject, but everything is already ovem11ed anyway so I guess ii doesn't mancr. I'm also guessing that most of the NIC student body doesn't believe in Santa Claus but have we really been 1augh1 that there is one tven though we don't believe it? As Francis Church wrote, "He txists as cenai11ly as love a11d gt11erosity 011d dei·o1io11 e.rists. a11d you know 1h01 1/iey abo1111d and give your life Its highest bt au1y and joy. Thert would be 110 childlike failh. no p<Hlf)', no roma11ce 10 maJ.e 1olerablt this exis1e11ce. We would haee na c11joym11n1. a cepl in sense a,uJ sight. Nobody sus S011to Claus, but that is 110 sig11 that there is 110 Samo Claus. Michele Schwend /,1 all 1/1/s world there Is nothing else real and abiding. Tha11k God ht /Ives Opinioo fom•er." I wn.~ mugh1 ns a child from ns early as I can remember that there is a Sanlll and that causes me 10 believe in Santa Claus. I know that come Chri~tmas morning. no maner how old I gel, I'll see three pn:senlS under the tree from the big guy and the Oreo rookies with milk will be gone. TI1e tags might be wrinen in my parent's handwriting and tl1e cookie plate and the glass may be in the dishw~her the next morning, but I know that I believed as a child and now I believe as an adulL There is a Santa Claus if your parenis play ii or your big brother plays ii, but there always will be 1he image of a guy with a big round belly that shakes when he laughs liken bowl full of jelly. I heard Lh.11 there was no Santa Claus when I was 8 years old and I was confused about where the presents came from nnd who me the milk and cookies. Why would nnyone want to ruin a lroditlon for a young kid and blow her mind up 10 cause discouragement? For weeks after I was told that. I tried 10 figure out who Snnta Claus was and why people made such a big deal about it if he wasn't 1rue. No solution! came 10 mind until my older brother said 10 me, '1f you believe that there is a Santn Claus. then there is one and nothing will ever ch.Inge that." Anyone can shoot Santa Claus out of a child's mind, but what will we pm in his place? The answer is nothing. Nothing else will be there when a child sets out the cookies and milk for the big jolly guy al night, or when the p.vents get begged to put the fire out before they go to bed so Santa won' t bum his bun. These arc fantasies 1h01 every child needs. What would they believe in if there weren't things like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny? The real things in lifo arc to horrible for children 10 imagine. I can't sec a child believing in anything 1ha1 doesn't have a real meaning 10 it and that they con work with. I could mention 1ha1 society is replacing the idcn of Santa Claus with the images of Rambo, Mkhacl Jackson and Donald Trump but what we should be doing is building the children's mind 10 still believe in the good people. S~ta Claus represents something to children that's good and nununng 1h01 they can base 1heir view of all the things that happen around them later on in life. So far, nothing has changed my mind. Don't get me wrong. I know about the parent deal and everything, but when a child asks me if there really is a Santa Claus, I'll say: "Ht sus you when )'ou·re slttplng, he knows 111hen your awake, ht knows whe11 you've b~tn bad o, g~ ~o bt good for goodlltss salct!

Athletes allowed to skirt rules By now it's common knowledge th:u the athletes wen: allowed to n:glstcr prior lo all the rest of the students hen: at North Idaho College. Whether or not this Is fair isn't even n question anymore: we're way beyond thnL Students have been grumbling and pondering for I00 years why athletes are given special treatment ahead of Joe Student. Well, like ii or not the fact of the mauer is that llfe is just that way: so we should try 10 understand why. Ows is hardly the first school to put athletes up on a pedestal. Every school from NIC to Notre Dame treats its athletes like they are vnluable and something special and for good reason........ thcy arc. These athletes are special and important to the college in many ways. Q11esrio1L· Whnt helps gain notorieiy and make money for a college institution faster than any other program on campus? Allswer: Asuccessful spons program. Not so much on a small school level, but on a nationnl level we are talking about millions of dollars of nnnual income for a school with a populur and successful spans program. A~ a local example. Washington State Universiiy gelS anywhere from SI 00,000 to $250,000 per game for a nationally 1.elevised fOOlball gnme. Well, teams like Aoridn State are on every weekend and gel much more. Schools like UCLA, U. of Miami, Georgetown, UNLV and Michigan aren~ household names in the world of higher education because of their academics. but because of their successful athletic programs.Team men:handising alone for these huge athletic programs nets millions of dollars in pamphemalia sales each yw. Our society has placed an extremely high empha.~is on being nlhlctically gifted. lf you are II gifted athlc~e and can Cllpilalizt on your God·given talent you can earn things ranging from free college and easy jobs 10 millions of

dollars for not only performing your athletic feat but millions more for doing it while w~'llring the proper shoes. Occnusc or the extremely huge reward ~ible for playing spons. our socieiy has given this king-like Sllllus 10 athletes. Most or these :.tudcnt-nthletcs are basically working as professionals yet receiving nothing monetaria!Jy because of their amateur starus. If early registration and other perks are all amateur athletes can gel for giving their services 10 a school milking money from those services. more power to them. The athJetes should hardly be blamed for accepting the special treaunent that our sociciy has set them up for. Every year we hear about big schools in trouble with the NCAA for giving athletes perks ranging from free plane tickets home and NIOl'S that take their tests lO jobs tha1entail sruff like turning on the automatic sprinklers and such. The Universi1y of Washington is currently on probation for such violations. and the list of past violators include such noted learning institutions as the Univeisiiy of Nevada LM Vegas, Oklahoma Univeisi1y, Univeisiiy Southern California. Auburn Uni,'C!Sity, Southern Methodist University and the Uni,'Ct'Siiy of Kcntucky,jus1to name a few. If aU we have 10 moon about is that athJeies get to register first, or that they gel out of paying their p.1rlcing ticketS, then we are lucky because it could be much worse. No, it might not be fair, the world isn't a fair place, and we should try 10 widemand whal society ~ set collegiate athletes up for. The athJetes represent the school and the schools Cllpilalize on having ~ful spans pograms. If we nre 10 change how :nhleies arc tmllCd we need 10 look at changing what a high price our society putS on being athletically gifted.

Idahoans: Earning the right to live here Editor. . . . The one s1ory you cnn always couni on seeing '". 1h1s pllper is a native vs. ouL~ider. Well here's my two bus on !he subject of people moving into Idaho. My b:ickground ? Born in Nebraska. Lived there only 1wo yem: moved to SI. Morles wh~re t.enjo_ycd 1he sm.all 1own life until age 19. Since then I ,•e hvcd m Cahfornm, Ulinois, Washing1on, Arizona. Nevad11 ru,d Wyoming. You might soy thlll I have experienced a wide variety of verbal abuse from no1ive's against ou1sidcrs bu1 I hove learned a lot from !hem. Idaho will always be my home despi1e these other short re~i<.lencie.s because of the numerous lifes1yle advantages here and I feel I hove earned 1hc right. Whal do I mean by earning 1he right to live in a state? h's one lhing to just move physically from boundary to boundary bu1 i1's another to actually do something wonhwhilc during your stay. For example. I' ve helped build 1111ck for 1he Milwaukee Railroad which at the time brought needed wood 10 lhc plywood mill in St. Maries. I also did my fair share a1 1ha1 mill 10 process the wood 1ha1 goes in 10 lhe housing market. In addition, I surveyed for the Foresl Service so logging roads could be made 10 bring lhe trees 10 1own. On the reverse side, my friends and I devoted time 10 planting irees to renew our valuable resource. Last but not least I spent some very long days on

1he Coeur d" Alene Cily crew shoveling ash after the Mount SI. Helens ordeal. More recently I helped build 1hc Vc1eran's Memorial Bridge. All of these were backbreaking jobs, and I wns proud of my accomplishmenis. I am now currently employed a1 Computer Services/NlC, aiding in 1he process of helping s1udcms reach graduation. So. you sec. whot i1is wha1 you have 10 contribute 10 society tha1 makes you welcome there. I" ve go1 some ex-Californian friends in Coeur d'Alene 1ha1 moved here in the lalc '70s and hove done a 101 to help Koo1enai County grow in a positive direction. Those or you newcomers who have merely moved up here, boughl a chunk of scenery, then sa1 on your duff and complained 1ha1 your gelling discriminated against, I do nol feel sony for you. You have only added to the traffic and pollution problem. Roll up your sleeves and gel 10 being an Idahoan. Volunteer ror projects (If you're so rich, you don't need 10 work) and ge1 involved. Otherwise, maybe you should move on to a stole where they don't give a damn. We do. One las! piece of advice on your altitude problem... build friendships not fences. The new cyclone fence on 1he Lake Fernan Road is a good example. Norm Shipp Operations Technician

Gospel Choir: Article doesn't reflect true spirit Edi1or. I would like to clarify some of the sta1cments made by MarkAaron Pcny in his review of the concen on Sunday, Nov.14, wilh the Total Experience Gospel Choir and the Coeur d'Alene Marimba Band. As a member of 1he Coeur d'Alene Marimba Band, I would like 10 explain that marimbas arc not xylophones as su11ed in 1he nrticle. Marimbas were originally modeled oner the mbira, or thumb piano, and both our instrumems and our music nre from Zimbabwe, Africa. As I 1old MnrkAaron. the music comes from 1he Shonn people of Zinbabwe and should not be charac1erized as "jungle mu~ic" due 10 lhc wide variety of cultural styles in African music. Another ponion of the anicle srn1cd tha1the songs sound ,·cry similar 10 each other. Perhaps to the unlrllined

musical car they do, bu! the songs all have pans 1ha1 are faster, slower, louder and softer so they arc dynamically quite different from each other. For example, "Mbuya Nehanda," a song we performed ai the concen. is about an african woman who was a spiri1ual leader. This song is quite different from "Mirabi Bell 800", which is about a runaway cow. These songs are all rencc1ions of African cullure, pussed on 1hrough oral trndhion. and ii is sacred music 10 the Shona people. The graphics used in this article of an nll while choir in robes does not characterize 1he To1al Experience Gospel Choir. and perhaps lhe siaff of The Sentinel could be more aware of representing performance art accura1cly.

A sports infonnntion specialist from another college revealed that several years ago retired NIC othletlc trainer Al Wytder was delivering equipment to a plane his team was taking. and as Al neared the plane, a shapely Indy caught his eye. Yup! He drove right into the wing and bent it. No hann, though. Al just jumped out and bent the wing back. Invincible Al, once the troiner for t.h.: San Francisco Giants, was slightly embnrrassed and hoped this wouldn't come up again. Al. some cherries, like wine. just get better with age.

• Meanwhile, in New York state. 17 high school students initially claimed no pain after a broadside wreck to their bus, but changed their tune after an officer indicated they could possibly sue. All recanted but one; he had to check with mom first.

The heat sure turned up and the pol boiled over after the recent Homosexual conference held in Boswell Holl. Threats to with hold tax dollars to lawsuits naming about anybody connected to NIC kept the ink flowing in all the newspapers about.

a Meanwhile, in the Tri-Cities. students at Columbia Basin Community College staged a heterosexual "coming out'' dance and were faced with much of the same kind of hostilities. Said the CBCC student body president, "lfwe were homosexuals staging a commgout dance, the administra1io11 would be rolling out the red carpet for us!" He added that gays were also welcome to auend the dance. • Elsewhere in Colorado Springs.

Editor: Nonh Idaho College has mode its mark in history by hosting the outstanding international human righ1s conference Oct. 29-31. The conference, Empowering Women: Achieving Human Rights in the 21s1 century, was an educational and uplifting experience for all. NIC con take pride in its facuhy and board members who worked long and hard to make the conference such a success.

Through a series of speakers. workshops, meals. rut and music, Prof. Tony Stewan, Trustee Jeanne Givens, Prof. Len Mattei and others led us to a future of a better world, where human rights and respect for human dignity is the order of 1he day. My herutfelt appreciation goes out to 1he Board, faculty and smff for bringing the conference to Coeur d'Alene and having the vision to acknowledge its impononce. Linda J. Payne

Gays: Pose health risk to public Editor. If there was a small segment of society which accounted for 50 percent of total syphilis cases and 60 percent of total Aids cases: if one-half to three-founhs of this group hod hepatitis B; if 80 percent of the people visiting venereal disease clinics in San Fransico belonged to this group with one-fifth of them suffering from rectal gonorrhea, rational people migh1 be inclined to restrict ccnain unique activities of this group in order to protect the health of the population at large. Well, such o group exisls. h is called the homosexuality community. his obvious that the rectum was provided for one purpose only. the elimination of body waste. Most of the contents of the human rectum consists of dead bacteria colonies. Consequen1ly It i& o very fil1hy place, It was not designed to have a penis thrust into it. When this happens, anyone of a number of nasty diseases known in the medical profession as "gay bowel syndrome" can be spread. Not to mention other gay prac1iccs

such as "sknt," "fisting," "'rimming" nnd ·•golden-showers," which shall remain undescribcd. People will say, '"But, I have a friend who is gay. rm sure he doesn't do any1hing like that!. ..Docs he ...7' Perhaps not. Bui these activities do occur. especially in larger cities. Nonetheless, naive onicle~ like Rebecca Morrison's in the last issue. which maintain that homosexuality is just a harmless love alternative, continue to appear. We must guard everyone's civil righL~ regardless of sexual orientntion. Violence against anyone because he is homosexual is indefensible. But, we must distinguish between illegal violence against gays. nnd legal, appropriate restrictions upon 1he open practice of homosexuality. The ancient no1ion th:11 homosexuality sodomy is a perversion to be avoided has its origin in the protection of health. Therefore, I suppon Idaho Cltiicns Alliance. Dunne Gross

Abracadabra! by Rnrhcl Willioms Install/ Culturl' Editor hough many have seen the well· known magk I.rick of the zigug lady on television. all present in Boswell Hall on Tuesday night gasped in nbelief ns Hnny Blackstone magically cul his own wife in three pieces and separated the sections. Blackstone came 10 NlC exclusively to perform in a benelil show for the Children's Village. His performance was preceded by n festive dance show from the Klub Kristi Dance Academy. The show was primarily auended by parents and their small children, but high school and college-aged students immensely enjoyed the performance also. In an interview prior 10 the magic show, Blackstone miked of how his father got started in magic. His father began perfom1ing magic in I893 and went professional in 1899. Black~tone's li~I stnge appearance occurred nt the age of six months in a magic show his father was conducting. According 10 Blackstone, the theater's b.ibysi11er foiled 10 show up that pmiculnr e,•ening nnd his mother, who was prut of the act, was forccd 10 carry him on the singe with her. Block~1one said thnt he was adamant about not going into magic us n career and the la.•a thing he wanted 10 do was follow in his father's foo1Mcp~. During his adolescence. he remembers wondering what was so exl!llordlnary about the tricks his father performed. "I couldn't sec whn1 wru. so special nbou1 my father's tricks." he said. "II wa.~ just something that dnd did." Later on In life. artcr nuending colleges in Southern California ond Pennsylvonin, Blackstone "orked in careers dealing in brondcas1ing, journalism and politic~. He explained how radio works in the same way ns magic m the fact ii deals with spurring the imagination. H~ u~ed the example of Oll>on Wellc's radio piece "War or the Worlds.'' Of cour~c, the radio show was 111ken a liule 100 seriously a~ ii sent npples of panic through

Especially politics, he added, because it helped master the an or deception, which is exactly whnt magic is- The An or Deception. During the show, Blackstone demonstrated more of this dry humor throughout hjs entire net. For example, he asked for a man's handkerchief for one of his I.ricks and a man from the audience sent his son 10 the stage to give Blackstone the item. Blackstone asked the young boy who his father was and he made tlte man srnnd up and come on stage, telling him how dare he send n boy to do a man's work. He proceeded 10 funhcr embarrass the man by having him and his son tie knolS in the hanky and 1he knots kept untying themselves. The children and adults alike went wild during this trick along with nll the other I.ricks. The few who took the libeny 10 make snide remarks about knowing how he did ii oflen go1 verbally put in their place. Black)tone did an exceptional JOb informing the audience of interellling hi$loricnl tidbits concerning magic as he w~nt along during his different acts. As he cxplnint'<I beron: the show. the object of mngic isn't just 10 be fun and entcrrnining, but there is much to learn from ii. He told of the famous ma1hema1ician Fibonacci and his work in the licld of botany. Blackstone explained how mnny of these some principles in solving for unknowns in mathematics is used in magical tricks. When asked how he reacts to the question nll audience members want 10 ask, "How do you tlo it'!" Blackstone lmiled slyly and said he usually responds. "l don't.'' or "Very well, thank you: or if he's feeling particularly saucy, "Wouldn't you like to know?" Actually, he likes it when people ask. Then he knows he's peaked their curiosity. Blackstone said people real ly don't want to I.now. After all, that would ruin the magic.

No. these resuooms nre not in the college president· s office, they're down the hall from his office. in lhe Sherman Building. And they are open to the public, students included. Any student who has used one of the many restrooms on the NIC campus is aware of the facilities inadequacies, which vary from building to building. For example. some buildings have bathrooms with such dim lighting a person can hardly tell if they nrc done wiping. let alone study for a test. Well, the bathrooms in lhe Sherman Building (next to Boswell Hall) feature lighting thlll is more than adequate. It also has a huge window. at least seven feet toll. which lets in loads of light. I'm surprised !here isn't a jungle of plants growing in these bathrooms! While on campus. hnve you by Monica Miller ever had to go really, really bad but find yourself unable 10 Pontification because your body is in a state of shock from the freez.ing toilet you're sitting on? This won't happen in the Sherman Building's restrooms. In fact, the toilct5 in there will WARM your bottom! Have you ever walked into one of NIC's bathrooms and seen someone repeatedly jumping up, in front of the mirror? That person wasn't trying to fix his or her hair, he or she was checking clothing for coffee stains. If tllat person only knew the restrooms in the Shem1an Building have full-length mirrors, the reputations of college students would be salvaged. If you have ever used a restroom at NlC, then you must know how grc,idy ''Towclsavc(' toilet paper dispem,crs are. ltbclieve that Mr. Towelsaver himsel f loosened the dispensers within the stalls of the Shem1an Building's n:stro0ms.

Union 'Art in the Rainforest' presents Gallery: work from Children's Center by Sherry L. Adkins Stnrinel Reporter There nee no fires or bulldottrs in this forest, only the crcn1ivi1y of innocence relensed. The "An in the Rainforest" exhibit in the Union Gallery Dec. 221 was created by the 30 or so children who ancnd the NIC Children·s Center. The rainforest creation is unlike any other because of 1hc collaboro1ion of an work and the materials used. The collection is not only unique because of the unexpected construclion and objccti\•ity. but also because you sec it through the eyes of a child. Carol Lindsay. director of the center, said the theme was chosen after a suggestion from another daycare who had also worked with rainforest an. "We are all real process people," she said." but we tried 10 avoid things all looking the same and be really open to the kids' imerprerntion of the use of materials." She explained that all children interpret the materials and their use differently. A 2-ycnr-old may sit beside a 5-ycar-old using the same materials but their interpretations will be completely differenL The an work is a combination of "a linlc bit of everything,'' according 10 Doris Lance, supervisor for lhc center. Lance said the three teachers at the center, the director. and herself have been gathering unconvemional materials for lhe project since early fall. The children brought the rainforest 10 life in four weeks with only limited participation from lhe staff. The exhibit features everything from spider monkeys, insects and Harpy eagles 10 tropical foliage, complete with a genuine
