College must recognize LGBA Attorney General releases statement

by Sherry L. Adkins Se111i11el Rcponer The low is clear that NIC must recognize the Lesbian. Gay and Bisexual Alliance. according to Idaho Deputy Auomey General f'rank Walker.

111is Statement was issued as o legal opinion of the nuomey general" s orficc in response to n request by auomcys representing NIC :md the LGBA. Walker said he used the U.S. Constitution and similar coun cases in dc1cm1ining nnd interpreting the lcgnlities involved. Neither side is bound by the evaluation but has agreed to con~idcr the contents in an cffon to n:nch a solution.

The opinion stares that the minutes from the Jan. 2 1. ASNIC

board meeting contain no jll~tHication for denial. just 1h01 it occurred by a 5-2 vote. Case laws discussed in rhc review·s guidelines have confronted and rejected numerous explanations in past cuses.

No ju,tification has ever been accepted by a coun of law.

According to the suncmcnt: "'The law is so well -sc1tlcd on this is5ue that failure 10 n.'Cognizc the association could result in an award of nuomeys • fees u.~ well as the im~ition of personal linbilitios upon school officials for any damages sustained for clear violation of the members" constitutional rights.'"

The repon contained many ca~ examples, Includi ng a 1988 coun cose involving gay and lesbian student orgnni1.atlon which was denied funding by the student senate of the University of Arkansa~. The court in this case ruled that the rll'St

New dean position causing controversy

by Rochel WIiiiams Sentinrl E.ucutfre Editor

Several concerns hnve been brought up by 1he facuhy following u proposal made

by Dean of lns1ruc1ion Jerry Gee 10 rename Roben Ke1chum ·s director of Work Force Training position 10 an associa1e denn position.

The portion of Gee's proposal dealing wilh lhe new position is 10 "implement a 1hrec,Associa1c-Dcan-of-lns1ruc1ion s1ruc1urc by promoting Or. Roben Ketchum to Associate Dean of lns1ruc1ion.

Kc1chum's position required him 10 repon 10 Clarence l-lnugh1. former dean of vocational education. Apparently, Bcnneu never gained supervision of Work Force Training aflcr she came into her currenl position.

According 10 Presidcm Roben Benneu,

Gee said he came up wi1h 1hc original idea and addressed the other members of adminisll'lltion who supponcd him.

"I fell very strongly thn1 ii (Work Force training) hnd 10 have its own image," Bcnneu said, "because it's so fundll.l'ncn1nlly different nnd because i1's growing a1 such a rapid ra1c:· A main objcc1ion brought up by facuhy members was 1ha1 lhey were no1 consuhed nbou1 1he issue until h was abou1 10 be vo1ed upon.

"We knew abou1 ii on 1he 121h or 13th of Januru-y," ma1h ins1ruc1or Judi1h Brower said.

Anoll1cr concern prcsc111ed by Brower addressed the issue of NIC having 100 many udmini)traiors.

"Experience shows Lhn1administrators seldom disnpperu-," Brower said. "lns1cad, 1hcy seem to multiply."

Thai subject was also brought up by Governor Cecil Andrus in his rcccnl talk here at lhc college, when he expressed concern 1ownrd having 100 many people in adminiSU'lllive s1mus in education.

Bcnnell said that he fell Andrus was speaking mainly 01 universities because 1hey answer 10 the s1a1e, and whllc NlC is community level, ii doesn't an~wer wholly 10 the s1a1e. He added lhat there isn'1 an over-adminis1rating problem in a college such as NIC. Gee docsn'1 feel tha1 lhe promotion is creating 100 many administrative positions, ci1hcr.

"Righi now we have, whal I think we need," Gee said.

He added 1hn1 if NlC's size increased. there would deflni1ely be a need for more ndministra1ors Another major concern of lhe focuhy was whether or 001 the action follows NIC

policy.

According to Bennell, !here really is no policy regarding lhe issue.

"It's really no1 a policy s1atemen1.

Administra1ively, we've always fell we ho.ve lhe right 10 realign our people 10 do jobs more efficiently or be11er than they have been done before or create new ones;· Benneu said. "But in 1his ca.se, we're no1 creating any new positions; we're simply rcnligning programs wi1h the people we already have."

Gee agreed with Benneu's stntcmen1. saying 1ha1 there is no specific NlC policy pcnaining 10 1he shuation. According 10 Gee. the proposal ac1ually is cla.~s,ficd under three or four diffcrcnl policies.

hiring proced~esr' Gee ~llid 1hcsc nre legt11mntc qucsuons and he is endeavoring IO answer them.

The proposal IVDS brought 10 the bo:ird in December nod the vo1e was to be 1nken in the month·s board of trUstees meeting. However, when several staff members expressed disapproval. the board decided 10 hold off the vole until Mnrch, following deliberation.

The women claimed 1hn1 one of 1he men hnd goucn one of them pregnant. The sho1s were fired approximately one l'cur nflcr the women were nsked 10 leave the premises.

Jackson said he believes the bulle1s may hnve come from a .22 caliber gun.

Originally, Jackson and Edw:irds said they believed the women might hove been responsible for 1he shots ftred. but funhcr inves1iga1ion found 1ha1 the men may have commiued the crime.

Coeur d'Alene Police Lt. John Bassen said Jackson, Johnson and Edwards probably won' 1get a chance 10 put 1he episode behind them in the near future.

"More than likely, when the time comes, they'll have to testify," Bussen said. "We've gm enough probable cnuse 10 believe they (Munster and Newton) commincd the crime.

"Hopefully. ii won't affect the ar~"' too much - not in a bad way, anyway."

Jackson said he wasn't sure if Munster and Newton were guilty.

"I don't know if they did it or not," Jackson said. "but if they did. I'm glad someone is gelling punished for it."

Jackson said he had no clue as 10 why someone might take shots a1 him or if the shots were aimed ni him specifically. Police didn't indicate why the shots were lircd or how the incident relmcd 10 the women being al the house earlier.

"I don't think this will happen again," Jackson said. "I haven't done any1hing to wrong anyone."

Rolly Williams. NIC's athletic director and men's basketball coach. said his players probably won ·1 be e~ccssively shaken by the incident.

"I personally don'11hink the other guys on the 1cum should be concerned," Williams said. "It's diflicuh lO make a comment um.ii 1he invcs1iga1ion is finished and the siluution is resolved."

Jackson. who came here on a scholarship from South-Ccnlf1ll Los Angeles. said his family has been imponant in helping deal with the si1ua1ion.

"My family was really wonicd about me," Jackson said. "My mom and my dad - everyone. They're the backbone of my life. They even offered 10 come up here 10 make sure I was OK." Jackson said he and hi s 1eamma1cs have since moved ou1 of the bu lle1molcs1cd house.

Amendment had been violated and took the view 1hat a public body choosing to fund speech or c,11pression mus1 do so equally without discrimination of the recipients bnscd on 1heir ideology. h was also stated that taxpayer.. will sometimes be obligated 10 suppon 001only wha11hcy approve of, but equally that which 1hey hate.

The conclusion of the rcpon determined 1ha1 ah hough some students may dislike the concep1 of recognizing the LGBA. the law is distinguished 1ha1 NIC must recognize the group. The statement also cautioned that the rights contained in the U.S. Cons1ilu1ion do not rise and fall with the whims or public opinion.

The report added thal the administrntion should intervene and recognize the club if ASNIC fai ls 10 act or else deny funding and recognition 10 ul l other campus clubs. Failure to do so would violate Alliance members' right 10 associate and have access 10 open, public forum . ln1en1ional refusal of administrators 10 intervene would raise the prospect of personal liability for the actions or the college. 1he rcpon said.

Harvey Richman, a Coeur d' Alene anomey rcpresen1ing the LGl3A. said Wednesday night he was "1hrilled with the opinion" and ii is now up to ASNlC. "We arc going to give 11tc student senate a brief time 10 correc11Jieir error." Richman said. "If they don·, respond appropriately, then we will toll the bell. 111cy can lix it or suffer."

Richman added the college would be extended the same brief amount of time lO correct the judgment.

ASNIC President Chrism Manis was not ovnilablc for comment Wednesday night, but told Spokane radio reponcr Warren Hnrshbargcr she would consult an nnomey and issue a s1aiemen1. ASNIC was expec1cd 10 meet Thursday.

Brower, said they wonder why Work Force Training can'tjus1 placed back in its origiMI position, under ,·ocational.

"I would suggest rather that the original connection or Work Force wi1h Vocational Educa1ion be remade 10 reinforce their basic connectedness."

Brower said. 'This seems 10 me 10 be 1he most obvious nnd bcs1 solution rather thnn establish an associate deanship because the original connection was nol auempltd.''

To p:iraphrase G.K. Chesterson, 'This was not tried and failed. Rather it foiled 10 be llicd,"' Brower added.

One of the aims of the e~change program is to allow \liSiting s1udcnts 10 converse wilh lolS of Americans and feel more comfonablc.

Are you really matho?

Take Joyce Uder's

machismo test from her Latin American class.

The North Idaho College Student Newspaper

Come on, folks.

It is a Human Rights issue ASNIC's 5·2 , ote denying recognition 10 the Lesbillll, Gay and Bi«xu:il Alli30Ce on J:in. 21 seems to be focus of a1ten11on for many. People ha,•e been pro,-ol.ed b> anger and/or passion to publicly respond on the mauer. This is ,,. mar. clous bec:lusc it shows in,olvcmenl ond keeps the flow of infonnntion open.

The flow of misinformation being spewed fonh is not marwlous.

Frankly. everyone has grown ti red of the issues facing homosexuals. You can't even pick up n newspaper without reading a •·gay.. he.11.lhne.

Shem: L A<loos What I have grown tired Opi1ion of s«ing arc headlines 3Jld stories proclaiming "gay rights" in an effort to sensationalil.e and grab our attention. In every inslllllcc thc tmn "human rightl' should replace the former. I'll .dmit this 1S11't as pro,oking as the lirsl 1enn. but it's not a matter of gay righlS, black righ~ or women· s rights.

The5e arc )Ul><a!cgories for people who can't or won't ,,ee the "'hole picture. All or thc abo,e arc humM rights pur..ued by diflercnl groups of humans wilh common interests. When "'e breal. people down into separate groups and categorize them, ii is dangerous and the e,plaiution bcromes literal: l'e break people down.

Did ASNIC deny th~ LGBA recognition becau~c some were gay? "No," said President Christa Manis.

The) were denied on the basi~ lha1 a sexual orientation club was not needed.

For thc sake of the ASNlC individu.ils. I hope their future offspring rn?ver feel the ''need" for a group such as theLGBA. I have heard the complaintS lha1 grMting club status 10 the LOSA would give them special rights and lha1 they should not have minority suuus.

Granting club status is not a )pceial right. No club has ever been denied s1n1us. so this would appear normal.

Special is the decision 10 deny this group. It is now a special case, made so by the same mentality individuals who claim special righlS arc unfair. Homcxexuals an: a minority group. They are kept in the minority by the majority. It is no1 their decision. but was made by those who have yet to understand lhis timeless s1ruggle.

No solutions accompany this issue. but tcr s II)' to shed some new light on an old )Ubject. Maybe we could all jUSI welcome each other to humankind and forge1 that it's a race. Let's consider the equal distribution or civil righlS among the human majority.

ASNIC was right in declaring a line mUSI be drawn, but there 111e always two areas on either 11ide of a tine.

These areas do no1 always have 10 be right or wrong: they just have 10 be respected. That is the line line.

What is purpose of zone drug laws?

The future or a local youth hangs in the balance a) the couns have decided to Test lhc waters and use a 1991 drug statute. The twist is 1ha1 the youth is to be tried as an adult.

A Bnyview family has been waiting with baited bremh for the decision that will alter their lives forever. A 15 -year-old Lakeland Junior High School student is faced with a possible sentence of live years 10 life for alledgcdly selling S40 wonh of marijuana 10 another student who rcponedly approached him und alledgcdly asked for a favor. get him some drugs.

The statute being used ror prosecution is a 1991 slate law.

The You1h Rehabilitation Act addresses minors and drugs and creation or the "Drug Free Zone" 1ha1 establishes a 1.000-fool perimeter around state schools. Anyone caught selling illegal drugs within the "zone.. of a school or buildings used for school related acuvi1ics faces severe penalties.

This case is unique in the fact that tbe youth is nlso being charged under the state's drug laws o~ well. The Youth Rehabilitation Act calls for any juvenile suspected of dealing drugs to be tried~ an adult.

The boy in question doesn't drive a limousine or hang around in a van en ticing would-be buyers. He isn't Mafia connected and probably doesn't even know what the Mcdicne Cartel is! · He apparently made a ~rious error in judgment and tried 10 do a favor for n friend. Dealing In illegal drugs is inviting serious lfOuble nnd sometimes peer pressure or machismo or whatever ii is lha1 causes teen,agers to do lhc dumb things that they do land.~ them in hot water. Five years to life is damned hot water!

This particular case hos been touted 10 be a "1.:s1 case." n precedcnce-sencr, nn example 10 anyone who dares 10 deal drugs on or near school propeny. The law addresses primary and secondary schools.

There is no defined status of a secondary school and as this is n s1a1e law. then state schools (N IC. Boise State, University of Idaho. etc.) both private and public could fall under the provisions.

Do you know of anyone that has done a linle favor and purchased some "grass•· or other illegal drug? Have you made any drug purchases on campus grounds? If you nrc considered a minor, then this case may interest you.

Were lhcse lows passed 10 snag errant teens or are they designed to send a direct message to the hard-core drug pusher that frequents school areas? The term Youth Rehabili1a1ion Act 1s somewhat contradictory unless you consider "live to life" ns rchabili101ive.

There is something a linle unsenling when o 15-year-old can be put away for an act, while child mol~ters. rapists and other violent criminals arc turned loose time and again to prey on society. Whal about Clinton·s "three strikes and you're out" program?

After contacting several state and county oflices 1rying to get a rending on this panicular onse and the wording of~ law. the Kootenai County Prosecutor provided the dictates of the youth act but could not determine what a secondary school is. He said that a determination would hove 10 be made. By whom ? He didn't know.

Government and laws are of lhe people, by lhe people and for the people. The people bener start looking around.

Your studen1 government may hnve been swayed by claims 1ha1 thi~ was 001 a denial or rundamcnrnl hbenic, or or freedom of speech or assembly. When focili1ics are main1oined by mnnda1ory s1udcn1 fees and arc offered rrce 10 all 1ha1 ask ror 1hem, it is d1'><..iminauon 10 single out one group who mus1 pay special rces. There am many imponam righ1s ensured by 1~ Uni1cd Suucs Cons1i1u1ion and by the Siu1e,. including a right 10 1.-qual pro1cc1ion, which includes the use of public facililics.

You and your colleagues may have believed 1hn1 you were simply representing your cons1i1ue111s by denying snnc1ion 10 a minori1y. You hnvc sm1ed 1ha1 tbe Human Diver:.ity Council and county govemme111 can suffic1.:n1ly represen1 the in1crcs1s or 1hese

You hove said 1ha1 you do 001 believe 1hn1 the issue of sexuality should be on the rorefron1 of 1he notional agenda.

Vocational: Inferences from article grossly inaccurate, extremely biased Editor.

II is n collective opinion in this year's Electronics Class !hat lhe Feb. 4. 1994, anide wriuen by Michelle Schwend emhled: "Facuhy wages 1opic of lo1e'' on Page 5 wn.s grossly inaccuraie. In particular, we take strong ex.cep1ion 10 1hc "reports" 1ha1 voca1ionnl students "spend nn average or 5·6 hours in a nonstudying a1mosphere in the classroom." Nothing could be funhcr from 1he 1ruth. The academic side of this program speaks for i1self. II is :i very intense and 1borough s1udy in cleclrnnics concepts.

Addi1ionnlly, the paragraph state~ 1ha1 "only 475

student~ will be moving into the Hedlund ... ," the inference is thn1 the Hedlund Building could be bcner u111ized, or worse, vocational s1udents (regardless or their numbers) :.re somehow inferior.

We believe, this anicle was hns1ily prepared and 1mnsparcn1ly biased.We would like a prompt re1rac1ion ond correction.

I've got every right to be my own person I didn'I quite know how 10 address 1hh issue when I begnn writing !his column. I'm no1even sure iril's un issue 10 most. Bui 10 me i1 is, and I gues.~ thal's whal's most imporuu,1.

It's easy 10 just babble and produce rour or five hundred words of 1ex1 and oucmpt 10 fool people in10 1hinking you ac1uully MIOw wha1 you're 1alking about. I don'1 WMI 10 pu1 you lhrough 1h01.

I'm going 10 endc.ivor to actually mole a poini in an iMue lh.11 I have 10 convince you i~ really an issue.

Moybc what I'm lf)'rng 10 do i, JU,I get the ancnuon or lho!>e or you ou1 there who see yourself in what I mi11h1 say. Arter nll. I see my~lf in "hat r "i II wri1e.

With all tlu~ talk abou1 rights to this and righ1s 10 1h01, ii' s hard 10 accept all the belief, people come up wilh. I know I don'1 have 10 occ:cpt !hem. but I do have 10 nc:ctpl !he fact 1h01 it'~ their righ1 10 think. act or Rochel J. Wilfiams believe in nny munncr !hey choose.

Opinion Toot in itsclr poses no problem 10 me. Yes. I know there ore rights stnted in our country's Conslitution and in our individual sm1c lows. Riglt1s 1h01 nllow people 10 do basically whatever 1hey pie~. within certain limill> of the law, or course.

I don't find lhnt I always agree with people's various beliers. but something I boncs1Jy If)' 10 do is acccp1 !hose p..'Ojlle as they arc. di~regarding \1/ha11hey Ii.kc or don't like, do or don'1 do. It's impossible for everyone 10 ugree on every1hing, but then lifo would be prcuy dull and monotonous if we did.

What am I gelling 10? Well. I have my own personal set of beliefs and what l call morals lhnt I anempt 10 follow in my life. I don't pu~h !hem on anybody. I don't condemn !hose people who refuse 10 acknowledge my bcliers. I don't expect everyone 10 confonn 10 my ideals, bul I do CXp(.'Ct my views to be R:l,p..'Cled, jll51 like anybody would.

Still. I find 1h01 though !here is plemy of ragging from people, claiming, ''None or you people respect my beliefs; you don't like my same music or dress in lhc s1ylc I dress in. Boy, you are n:ally pathetic. so close-minded about everything."

Tom's funny. Usually lhe people spouting off about dose, mindedness are forgening 1ru11 they are being pretty damed closemind~'d to not respect other views besides their own. Maybe you haven't come in conrac1 wilh someone who accuses you or being clo.c-minded. but I have.

I've never insisted !hey come 10 church with me, listen 10 pop music or dress in Levi\ or drive an economicol car. However. I sure do gel guff about being wha1 I gue-\S is "normal." I've been told my uste in music is Mupid. my clothes arc boring and I'm dumb 10 remain cclebate until marriage. ThC5C same accusc:rs 1ell me I should ge1 the gulS 10 be MY OWN PERSON. OK. I've got news for you. I AM BEING MY OWN PERSON. Face u, openmindedness doesn't exist. at lenst in the \\oy we perceive it. In a pcrfoclly open-minded society, nobody would 11)' and make anybody believe anything. Everything would be accepted and c,·eryone would be lefl to his or her own belier), 1as1es and so on. If that is true, then tha1's not what I bchevc we're striving for, bccau_'i<: we're continuously lf)'ing 10 change everyone to what they lhink is best for them.

Whru are we striving for? I' ve gol my rights, you've go1 your righ1s and since we don'1 like each other standing up ror our rights. who's right?

by J.A. Jeske- rooked, baked, bottled and boiled...

• Wben does a Iii Uc borrowlng become downright tl1ieving? Tom is the jist that begins with this paper"s Nov. 19 issue. \lihich pic1urcd 1he gastronomical chili cook-off splashed oil over the front page and the scandalous story on ~age 8.

Dan Oliveria, Spokesman Review columnist, on occasion has borrowed a hne and thal's fine, bu11h.:m came the Cay Convention and ASNlC"s "no" vote.

Immediately the local and national press poked their noses in, borrowed a lot and chipped in their two cents to boot.

Last issue's feminist accolade was to be followed with a male rebunal by Nonh Idaho Spud, however, lhc Sentinel has been scooped again, and this time it is Time magaz.ine! Their February 14 issue pictured their version of ··spud", with the story on page 53.

Spud hos been hidd en in lhc Sentinel darkroom since 1hc crop before last. patiently waiting for his 1um to eschew his views on the heretofore untouched white male segment of society. Events led to this being his place and

Says Spud, ''I'm a native son of these pnns and my very fiber is filled with the land. I can speak to the issue of the day because I have eyes in the back of my head. It's now boiled down to a rhetorical mash of while pigheads, faggots and femlolst bitches."

No minced words here, but will Spud get to the root of these spoken evils? .

"For belier or worse. like it or not, freedom of speech is still allowed in this country," says Spud, adding. "the devil has been defined and we are ii. We are all of the same poi of soup with no segment of the populous now lert untouched by the stinging rhetoric lhat so shreds our moral fabric."

"Live and help to let live," says Spud. "Life's too shon to wind up at the bonom of a stew."

While then: may be an avenue of quasi-legal r~'COurse for Spud over Time's seeming debauchery, for now he will jus1 have to remain. a common later!

• And the legal department brings more wi1h District Judge Charles 0 .

Justice riding again for his 10th annual round of the mock trials in the District Coun of the First Judicial District of the State of NIC. in and for the county of NIC and Kildow Hall, room L-46.

• Instructor Tony Stewart·s mock trials ore belier that soap operas, with three more ghostly murders awaiting decisions by judge and jury. If you come across a crime scene, don't call the cops and don't lamper with the evidence!

Opening arguments will commence soon!

• Not soon enough for Scott Cerrity's Spanish class who convicted their instructor in their own mock trial. His only crime was "Golpcando un mueno caballo." He beat a dead horse!

• With all 1his talk abou1defining the issues here comes a cherry that's strictly co-ed.

Bob Clark, chemistry Instructor, found himself in Sandpoinl the other day nct>ding to use the restroom at the Gas and Go. A co-eel raclllty is an easy adjustment: just lock the door. He did. But it didn't. Rushing in with the same urgent need came NIC student, Mkhelle-don't you d.llre print my last namewho didn't know ii was occupied so yup, she did.

Now. that's got to be a chemical reaction of the close kind!! more later! JAJ

Haircut column: C'dA hair

stylists defend profession Editor: In response to Snlly Anthony's column "Haircu1s nnd videos - it's 001 easy to gc1 clipped in Coeur d'Alene" that ran in your Feb. 4 issue of the Sentinel. There are several issues I would like to address.

Did ii ever occur to you Ms. Anthony that perhaps you arc not communicating properly? After all, live stylists couldn' t please you.

In defense of "Headmasters." This is n school. They arc: unlicensed students that are just learning.

Also. 1hc manager of a salon is noi necessarily the "most experienced'' stylist.

He/she slmpl y has the office and organizaiional skills to manage the salon.

The s1ylist at "LaPetitc'' was only doing her job. A stylist who fails to educate her client in the proper care of her hair has failed. It was only for your own benefit and

you should have listened to her.

As for your "good friend's" opinion of the stylists at "System Seven," 1ha1 was simply a mean piece of hearsay that you conveniently repeated. 'TI1at is very irresponsible journalism!

As for the stylists at "LaTourcnes," what is wrong with trying hard? What was your point Ms. Anthony.just to slam some very rcpumble salons? We the stylists in Coeur d'Alene really hope your "good friend" knows how to cut hair because you· re going to need it.

Our new slu1e of officers is as follows: Lindo Payne. President Molly Christensen, Secretary atria Aus1in, Vice President Vicky Arriaga, Treasurer

Enclosed is a copy or that letter which was sent to ASNIC President Christ Manis. (leuer printed below) From the members and officers of the Human Equality Club, thank you.

Sincerely, Carla Austin, Vice President

Editor. (an open lener 10 the Associaied Student of North ldnho College Board) It is with concern and sadness that we have followed the deliberations and decision to deny formol recognition to the proposed NlC LGI3A club. The students and advisors of the LGBA group followed and met all your requirements for recognition.

The NIC Human Equality Club for many y~ hos addressed ethical issues and worked to promole and pro1ec1 the constitutional rights of every NIC student.

Thus, i1 is truly trnubling 10 witness the constitutional denial of equal protection of the laws, freedom to peaceably assemble and freedom of speech and expression 10 these NlC students. Our concerns nrc forther heightened by the decision· s impact on the personol lives of these students.

In a spirit of kindness. please permit us to share the following appropriate words of wisdom from post and present scholars and stnte~men with regard 10 democrncy and constitutional rights:

"... speakers, who are for the home and mother and against sin rarely need gavtmme111a/ protection. It is those who say things 1ho111te public does 1101 wa11110 1,ear tllOI 1he Fim Amendment was designed to protect, wui when 1/te Co11r1 deniu such proltction 10 w1pop11/ar speakers. t/U!

Union Gallery shows The 'Sentimental '40s' bring back Harold Balazs' work original style in barbershop harmony

by Sheri") L. Adkins Se111i11tl Reporter Alt lovers hu,c until Feb. 23 to check out "Chunks of Time and Place" on display in Union Gallery. The exhibit fentures lhe dynamic work of regional anist Harold Balo.z.s.

The various pieces in the exhibit include free-standing lead nnd steel sculptures, drawings and enamel works.

For the last 40 years Baloz.s has been producing an pieces . ranging from jewelry to sculptures, but he is best known for bis public an displays around the Nonhwcst.

These public an pieces include the huge stainless steel sculpture anont on tht ri"cr in Spokane's Riverfront Park. an ennmeled pnnel of colorful flowers in the lobby of the CO<!ur d'Alene Reson and a hooked rug that hangs in lhc Spokane Opera House.

On campus, 80137.5 is credited with six enamel pieces thlll adorn the entrance of Boswell Hall and a sculpture oulSidc of the Ikdlund Building. Another sculpture ~its outside of Seiter Hall and was built by students who aucndcd an in~piring workshop given by the rutist several year$ ago.

The current exhibit includes n variety of materials and diverse ideus. For instnncc, lhe "occult series" is a spoof on the occult which reveals a hint or the artist'~ sense of humor. Bali1ZS' creations serve as :i visual journal of his work nod have a great deal of depth, according 10 Allie Vogt, gallery director.

"He hns a wide range of knowledge bccnuse of a practice of \imultnncou~ly experimenting and mustering the u~ ofa muhuudc ofmnterials," Vogt said. "A\ a result, he put\ together ~omc really intriguing pieces."

Bal37s is truly unusual. not b.:cnuse he loves 10 build boat~ nnd considers him~elf 10 be an eclectic, but bcc:1u~e he supports himself iLs on artist. A very good, well known artist with ~eemingly unlimited range. As if to suppon this fact, hi~ work is blended with a skill nnd proficiency thm makes it hard to imagine the finished piece ever existed as anything elbil.

Though 13nllll.S uses a wide mngc of mntcriali,, every picc~ the anht creates seems 10 now complimentary with the one before. "lie has a lot of experience b.:hind him," Vogt said.

"When he nnempts n new medium, it ends up belonging 10 hh body of work. It doesn ·1 look like an ou~idc piece."

Balazs' works are chronicled by the Cheney.Cowles Museum in n cntalog titled "Marold Bnlazs: An is an An f-orm" and cnn be seen at numerous public sites such ns universities. churches nnd libraries.

Up next in the Union Gallery is featured rutist Kirk Lybcckcr's "Different Objects-Same Vision," which will be displayed from Feb. 28-Mnrch 31.

Lybecker will h~t three events on Feb. 28. for anyone wishing 10 become bener acquainted with liis work. The scheduled events nre a slide show lecture presentation from 1-2 p.m. in Room 220 of Boswell Hall, an opening reception in the gallery from 6-8 p.m.. and a gallery walk from 6:30-7 p.m. Vogt encourages all an students to aucnd lhe events and lhc public Is welcome.

The Union Gallery is located in the basement of 1he Edminster Student Union Building nnd is open weekdays, noon to 6 p.m. For more information call 769-3427.

Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Sullivan Lakes Feeding Station holds about 60 animals for people to enjoy

by Don Bell Sentinel Reportn

S11uo1ed in 1hc Colville Nationol Fores1about two miles Sou1h of lone. Walh .. on Sullivan Ulke Road is 1hc Sulli,an Lal.l' Bighorn Feeding Station open all year round for ,•ie1, 1ng and/or camping.

The bighorn (heep. while wild animals, arc passive enough from , icwing countle~s humnns that pic1ure1aki ng or ju~, plain gawking :u the animals rrom 12 feel awny is not uncommon.

More than 15 animal( usually are on 1he si1e, feeding wandering freely and drinking from Noisy Creek, so named according to Carl. a surveyor nnd local resident who was there to observe w11h a group of Canadian friends, becnu~e of 1he enonnous noise created by the rocks cracking into each 01her during spring thaw.

Rocky Moun1ai n Bighorn Sheep arc believed 10 have been in this area until about 1900 whan unrcguln1ed marke1 hun1ing or disense eliminated the herd.

In 1972 1hc Wnshing1on Dcpanmcnt of Wildlife released Il! Rocky Moun1ain Bighorns here. The sheep were 1runsplnn1cd from Wa1enon Lakes National Park in Albeno, Canada. as a pan of an ongoing, s1a1ewide effon 10 re-establish 1he anima ls on their na1ive range.

The dep3rlmcnt now manages this herd of abou1 60 animals as n source of 1ransplnn1 10 01her areas.

Bc1wccn 1977 and 1986, for example, abou1 40 sheep were 1ran~plan1ed 10 1he Blue Mountains of S0u1hcos1 Washmg1on.

The~c sheep could do quite well on n much less aruficrnl feed. bu1 1hc cx1ra feed keeps them available for viewing enjoyment Care musl be taken not 10 01trfced wi1h 1he high pro1cin concen1ra1e provided daily by 1hr pork rangers.

Rocl y Mounuun Bighorn Sheep are the largcs1 sheep in Nonh Am11rica. Ram s reach over 300 pounds.

Horns of old rams weigh up 10 30 pounds. R3ms live

about 12 yeors. ewes slightly longer.

Rams of1en figlu by clashing horns 10 dc1crmine or maintain dominance in n herd. Ureedi ng is in November. Lambs are born on lhc sleep face of Holl Mou n1ain above Sullivan Lake in May. The views surrounding 1he reeding area con only be 1ermed breathtaking.

The: sheep. an endless form of facina1ion, and 1hc sigh1s see n enrou1c along Highway 31 include a clear sighli ng of 1hc Pend Oreille Ri ver. The added bonus of li1erally hundreds of Canadian Geese taking up temporary residence al Cusick Ranch. in Cusick, is an added plus.

Dress warmly for th is cvcn1. Upon arrival, o one-quoncr mile walk uphill is required to get 10 1he feeding s1a1ion.

To get there from Sandpoint 1ake Highway 200 wes1 until reaching 1hc town of Newpon. Follow Highway 20 north from Ncwpon 10 highway 31 and 1he vicinity of lone. Jus1 sou1h of lone. cross the bridge over 1he Pend Oreille River. Head eas1 and continue up 1hc hill on 1hc Sullivan Lake rond nbou1 eigh1miles. Turn off to 1hc ens1 on 1he Noisy Creek campgrou nd road near 1he sou1h end of 1he lake. You can usually park in 1hc area near 1hc closed go1e across 1he road 1ha1 leads to 1he feed s1a1ion. Please lry to leave room for 01her vehicles to pass or for official vehicles 10 gel 10 1he feed s1a1ion.

Stein said he fell ii appropria1e thn1 this center should comply fully.

"How many sruden1s conference elsewherer que.s1ioncd Stein, emphasizing bis poin1 lhat 1he SUB is the one building on campus where many or mos1 s1Udents meet on a rcgul:l! and continual basis. Yes. it is like 1he living room on campus, he added.

The $4,400 cost 10 purchast! and insUlll lhe dooropening systems was budge1ed in, a c:l!eful selection of many different door options was made. and a choice was sclec1cd. 'The sys1em being implemcotcd coo forms 10 other doors elsewhere on or going in10 campus, which Stein said makes for a logical choice in respecl to lhe mechanics and acsthe1ics of all lhe doors on campus. '"The money used 10 pay for lhe automated sys1em is paid ou1 of the opcra1ing budget of Auxiliary Services, noi from Associa1ed Studen1s of Nonb Idaho College funds or any olher college funds," Stein said.
