ICC meeting heated; issues unresolved

by Rochel J. Wllliams ÂŁ:cec11tive Editor

Sparks new a1 Wednesday's ln1er-Club Council meeting as a result of a proposal approved by the Board ofTrustees and a bill proposed

by ASNIC Senator Patrick Camie.

The resolution states the chronology of the events leading up 10 Feb. 16 when the Sw1e of Idaho Anorney General sent a legal guideline stating the law is clear that NIC must rccogniz.c Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance and failure 10 do so would viola1e LGBA members' rights.

TI1c second half of the resolution slOtes that as long as student organiuuions are recognized as clubs

by ASNIC they will be independently recognized by the Board as oflicinl "Clubs of NIC" including LGBA. Also, ii reads tha1 the odministmtion is directed 10 mnkc criteria for recognition of clubs 10 ensure that they have equal treatment.

Confusion over the resolution's meaning was equally mixed with concerns regarding the bill dmftcd by Camic dealing with club funds and club status. Various representntives voiced their concern over losing recognition as clubs or possibly losing their funding.

Speaking up almost immediately was a reprcsenta1ive from the LGBA, Anron Jones. He said that ASNlC was going about the whole ordeal bl-cause it still didn't agree with having a gny club on campus.

"You denied our voice because it didn't ma1ch what your voice said," Jones said 10 Higgins.

Another side expressed worry about the clubs being disbanded completely.

"We're all a li1tle concerned that were not going to be sitting here next month," PTK Representative Carla Austin said.

ASN!C Vice President Ryan

Higgins and Camie assured the representatives that would nol be the case.

Higgins slated later that the issues of funding and admi nistrative involvement with clubs are completely separate and though they both tie in somcwha1, tbey should not be confused.

"The intent of the bill was not 10 destroy ICC or anything like that," Camie said. 'The bill hasn't got through yet, righ1? And if it does, ICC will still ex isl, we'll still give out funds for participation and activities."

Representative Linda Payne. one of the most outspoken persons in the meeting, said that it sounded ns if ASNIC was giving away whul power they had to the Board. She likened the situation 10 a 16-year-old being denied the use of his parcnt.s ' cur because he go1 in trouble. However. the kid never wants 10 use the car ngnin.

"It's really jus1 revenge," Payne said. "and cutting off your nose to spite your foce, basically."

Others present voiced comments such as "does sound like revenge" or "sounds like a mntrum 10 me."

"If you really wan1 more power," Austin said along with Payne. "what you should do is create more requirements."

Camie brought up the poin1 that ASNIC has gone over the handbook extensively in the interest of handling the situation correctly.

"I think we know just about all there is to know about 1hc clubmaking process," he said.

Austin said that what has happened has happened and the renl reason the meeting was held was to see if the clubs are still going 10 exist, which, according 10 Carnie, they do, and nothing is changing except that cennin approved clubs will now be recognized by the Board and others

by ASNIC. The statement caused

Erbland said students who object may have standing to seek reimbursement. while Richmon said 1he beauty is thnl lhc Alliance can meet anyway.

'Toe anomey general has made it clear !hat this is a constitutional issue... anything else is sheer folly,'' swd Richm:lll.

Building remodeling slated

by Fckad u Klros Stnlind Reporur

The remodeling of Fort Sherman Officers Quarters which is es1ima1ed 10 cosl S477.000, will begin as soon as Spring Semester finishes, said Rolly Jurgens, dean of adminis1ra1ion.

The building is being remodeled because of 1he history ii carries. The other Fort Grounds buitdingis 1he red church behind Boswell Holl.

"The building has always been of in1eres1 10 1he his1oricnl preserwuion people in lhe community," snid Jurgens. II is 1hc only officers quarters 1ha1 is remaining from the days of Fon Sherman. There used to be a row of buildings along 1he still cxis1ing Officers Quarters building.

The building is sagging and if somc1hing is no1 done i1 will con1inuc 10 deteriorate, according 10 Jurgens. The foundation or 1hc building is made of wood which is standing on din and brick on n couple of places.

"Basically we are remodeling it in order to save 1he building and because or 1hc history it carries," said Jurgens.

The funding to remodel 1he exterior is cs1imn1ed al S160,000 and is provided by 1he Oepunmcnt or Public Works in Boise, said Jurgens. The money will provide a new foundo1ion. two new windows needed 10 give the building i1s old appearances, new cx1erior, imilaiion chimneys and 1hc porch that used 10 be part of the building.

An additiona l SJ 17.000 will be needed 10 do 1he interior of the building, according 10 an es1ima1e made by an :irchi1ec1 from G.D. Longwell and Co. 1ha1 is handling 1he remodeling project.

Even1ually. if enough money is pul 1oge1her, North Idaho College hopes 10 do 1he inrerior, said Jurgens, NlC has nol ye1 reques1ed 1he additional S3 I7,000 needed 10 remodel the in1crior.

Concerning hopes 10 do 1he in1crior, "II depends on how much Foundation and college money we can con1ribute," Jurgens said. ··we will have 10 wail and see until next year since we haven't completed our budge, ye1."

The second story of 1he building cu rrently is being used for storage, bu1 if the in1crior of 1hc building is remodeled ii can be used as offices for instructors. according 10 Jurgens.

The firs1 floor is occupied by six ins1rue1ors who suppon 1he remodeling project.

"There are several things 1h01 should lake precedent over lhe remodeling of this building if NlC was covering 1hc funds," said Jim Minkler, one of 1he six ins1ruc1ors whose office is located in 1he building. "but 1he money is coming from 1he srn1e government and ii is being used 10 give the building i1s old historical architectural beauty."

Minkler went on 10 say. "This campus will be enriched by 1hc remodeled building."

The remodeling is expcc1ed 10 finish before fncuhy returns for Fall Semester.

Charges dropped against student

by Kyle Casper Senrinel Rt'porter

Felony chn.rges of nggravn1ed nssaull and nssauh wi1h in1cn1 to commil a serious felony pressed against on NIC law enforcemenl studcn1 and Rathdrum reserve officer, Calvin Nolan, were dropped Tuesday when f-irs1 Dis1ric1 Magistrate Peter Hu1chinson ruled 1hn11he prosecuting nuomey hnd failed 10 provide enough evidence.

Evidence prcsen1ed by the prosecutor, Lansing Haynes. consisted only of testimony by Kimberly Nolan, wife or Calvin Nolan, nnd a s1a1emen1wriucn 10 1hc Kootenai County police filed by her on Feb. 14.

Due 10 1hc s1a1emen1s liled by Mrs. Nolan, her parents, James Almond and Linda Almond and n friend, Steven Julian. Mr. Nolan was arrested on Feb. 18 by De1ec1ivc Kenl Johnston for allegedly holding his wife 01 gun point wi1h a .9mm pis1ol, hand-cufling her, hilling her in the face and head on Dec. 28 and allegedly sexually assaulting her on Feb. 10. He was held in custody un1il Tuesday wi1h a 555,000 bail, according 10 cnse lilcs.

According 10 Mrs. Nolan's wriuen s1a1emen1, she returned home from a friend's house on Dec. 28 10 find some of her personal items on the kitchen floor, smashed. She s1ar1cd 10 walk toward 1hc kitchen from 1hc llving- roQm when Mr. Nolan emerged from 1he bedroom oo 1he 01her side or the kitchen, Mr. Nolan had a blanket wrapped around him. She asked him why he had broken her stuff and he dropped lhc

blnnkcl to 1hc floor revealing 1hc pistol and asked her who she'd been sleeping with. She said no one nnd 1hen moved ton chair in the living-room. He straddled her on 1he chair, handcuffed her and began 10 hil her in the face. Ln1er. he asked her if she needed medical assis1ance and brought her ice for her swollen nose.

During cross examination by Hnynes, Mrs. Nolan repca1edly said she wasn't completely clear on 1he cvems or the night bu1 she was not in rear for her life, c,•en when he had 1he gun drawn. She 1old 1he judge that Mr. Nolan had never poinred 1he gun directly 01 her and, ··...if the gun had gone off i1 wouldn"1 have hil me." She was shown the s1a1emen1 she had wrinen and was asked 10 read a ponion 10 1he judge 1ha1 read, "I could not believe Calvin could do 1his 10 me. He allYays said he would never hurt me and he scared me 1ha1 nigh1. I thought he was going to kill me." She continued 10 assen, after reading 1ha1, 1ha1 she was no1 in fear of losing her life.

"I' m nol so sure a smement made si~ weeks ar1er 1he fact is more reliable 1hnn a s1a1emen1 made in court today, under oath," s1a1ed Hu1chinson before making his ruling. Hutchinson also said 1ha1 if she was so unconcerned about 1he gun 1h01 she 100k her a11en1ion off of ii and weni and sa1 down. lhen she mus1 no1 have been Lha1 worried Mr. Nolan s1ill has a misdemeanor charge of Domestic Abuse pending that held a 55,000 bail charge which be pos1ed Tuesday.

NIC faculty complaint Trustee member resigns, about dean continues named to state Board

by J.A. Jeske Senrmel Reportl'r The Facuhy Assembly nired concerns over NIC President C. Roben Bennen and NIC Board ofTrustee·s action to create new deanship positions at the board·~ Wednesday. Feb. 23. meeting.

The t-acully A$S<!mbly presented a prepared statement to the board that ~id as fncuhy members their mission is 10 emphasiw the fact that teaching 10\olvcs foremost students and teachers, and funds not spent on ins1TUc1ion can d1lu1c NlC's mission-to promote student success and teaching excellence.

Mike Harrod, 3l.Sembly chair, said administtativc reorganizations have occurred on a seemingly regular basis since 1987, with·several proposals made in 1992 alone.

Accordlng 10 records supplied by the assembly. 1wo deanships were enacted in 1986, one in 1987, an anempl 10 instilulea vice-president in 1990. an acting dean position in 1991, and seven positions were created, promoted or renamed in 1992. .. When we sec people with administrative titles, we believe them to be administering and not necessarily teaching, .. said Harrod, adding that. they were not critical of the people doing the jobs and maybe it was just an equivocation of terms.

Trustee Bob Ely said that it docs seem that every time the trustees add administration they are told it won·1 add any more cost and then, silently, he raised his arms and eyes skyward with o grimace!

Dr. Jerry Gee. dean of administration, said in the case of Dr. Roben Ketchum...It wa~ just expanding hi~ role."

Ely said the board is really tom over this and always strives 10 maintain fiscal responsibility.

Gee said there :ire ccnain salary mises incorpomted in the budget and these proposed promotions arc accounted for.

Trustee Jeanne Givens said, "Maybe o deanship with a sunset clause would be n good idea." my said-to laughter from the crowd-"J'd hope all deans arc that way."

NlC Pn:~ident C. Rohen Dennen said that 42 percent of the funding for NIC comes from taxpayers who urc not nom1ally going to a two.year academic program and it is appropriate 10 spend S500,000 so these people can retrain and be a bencr citizen. He also supports the promotion of Ketchum from director of Workfon:,: Training and Community Education 10 associate dean of instruction.

The motion pa5sed und trustee Judith Meyer said, '111is is n legal counship that must be watched."

Hrurod ~id the question really centers around the faculty"s role in policy. making and governance at the college.

The board htis previously adopted lhe Faculty Assembly's bi·laws and constitution which recommends that major decision changes in policy and procedure should go through the faculty. This is in confom1ance with the accrcdiltuion standnrds !'\.'Commended by the Nonh\1-CSt Association of Schools and Colleges.

Lntcr. English iMtructor Fran Bahr said. she feel~ that the faculty seems to be eliminated from the loop in major policy decisions.

According 10 p:ist a,sembly chair George Ives, English inslructor, this issue had been previously raised in 1987- at that time Bcnneu had said 10 Ives this would not happen again.

Ives suid he was not actively involved m the current "bruhaha."

Math in~tructor Judith Brower. vicc•chair of the assembly said, "I appreciate the way the board listened 10 our concerns and heard us c,·cn beyond lhe words we· ,·e wrinen."

Camic endeavored 10 explain the purpose of the bill funher nnd allevia1e some of the confusion. Ile sa,d he merely was trying 10 make everything easier on everyone. He emphasized again no1hing wou ld change for the worse.

Following the mcc11ng, Payne and Austin agreed the purpose of the bill still remains unclear though ihc proposal is more unders1andablc.

"Looking al 1he bill, ii 5ayi that there will not be any more clubs," AU5tin soid. "I mean, that's our imerprellltion."

"I don'! believe 1h01 wa~ the intent of the bonrd," Payne said. "and I think that whal 1h01 is perhaps 1h01 ASNIC's Mill ligh1ing the LGOA issue. They're looking 01 linle tiny words and not looking ac the whole scope."

College experiences record growth rate

by J.A. Jeske Srmin,t Rt1porll!r NIC has the highest perccn1age grow1h rn1c for all universities in Idaho, said Presiden1C. Roben Dennen while addressing 1he Kootenai Counly Democrat Club Friday, Feb. 18.

NIC experienced a 20 percent overall grow1h in regis1ered studcn1s with 12 percent comprising credi1 class registran1s, said Bennett, smiling broadly 10 1he crowd when he said, "Yes, I know lhe parking lo1s arc crowded."

Benneu said he was extremely pleased with many improvements being implemented at NIC. The Fon Sherman Officer' s Quaners rehabilitation project has acquired S161,000 for external repairs with the possibility of obtaining $250,000 next year for interior remodeling, he said.

"I just don' t believe we won' t gel the

money for Lee Hall," he said. "I've talked to Gino (Rep. Gino While, 0Plummer) and he assures me it's on the Governor's desk."

Benneu said he wouldn'1 personally believe it un1il 1he check was in his hand, bu1 said plans arc proceeding 10 move the business offices Into 1he Bonner room, schedule mon: early and la1e classes, use at least four ponable classrooms and make arrangemems for the relocation of the Workforce Training Center.

Construction is scheduled to s1art July I, if all furn iture is moved from the building, he said, adding, tha1 the project cost is S2 million.

Benneu visibly had high praise for the S75,000 Christianson Gymnasium seating renovation, saying after work is completed, it will hold about 2,500 spectators making an added complement

to the 1.200 seals available in Boswell Hall's Audi1orium. Funding for 1his renova1ion has been secured.

In a rela1ed maner, he said, 1ha111 mo,e is in 1he works 10 increase 1he s1udent 1ui1ion cap, from a maximum SIO per semester raise to S20.

"The raise must still go through the board lirs1 and that board is very, very careful abou1 1ui1ion increases," he said, adding that, he knows people arc very concerned abou1 property taxes. If taxac1ivis1 Ron Rankin's one pcrcenl ini1ia1ive were passed. NIC would be In a tight money crunch situation, he said.

Opening the noor 10 questions from the audience, Benneu said there are no plans 10 expand the student dormitories because 1here is II higher priori ty need for classroom space and that, "We want 10 get out of the donn business."

"We're incredibly cheap even after

rai sing the ou1 of s1n1e tuition 50 percent 10 S 1.500," he said, acknowledging club member Wah Byer¡~ commen11ha1 when he auended N!C in 1940 1he in-s1a1e 1ui1ion was $75.

After saying he was surprised tha1 no om: had asked him about 1he Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance issue curren1ly being deba1ed at NIC, he was asked, "What can 1he communi1y do? "rr you've read the Senlinel," he said, "the pressure is on the Associa1ed S1udcn1S of Nonh Idaho College in favor of recognizing 1he club."

The firsl thing is for ASNIC to review 1he Idaho Anomey General's opinion, Bennett said, adding thal, he would be 1alking to the board and expected them to also review the si1uation carefully.

Bennett said he didn't see LGBA as a political or religious club and believed it probably would be funded.

I stoned 10 be different the Opinion day I reallied lhal I would nOI let M)'One tell me whot 10 do, what 10 say, what 10 listen 10 or whnt to !,Ce, e\er again.

Media, politics: more alike than not Why is it some living things will never gel along? Lillie boys arc destined lo fight with li11lc gi rls ju~t like cats and dogs will fight 10 their very las1breath. h's the ~amc with the media and the government.

Inevitably, politicians whine that the media is out 10 make them look bad and destroy their image while the media are convinced that politicians n.re a pack of liars and probably deserve 10 be exploited in any manner possible.

Media personnel arc named big-mouths and the like while reponers whisper behind their hands at the crock they have 10 listen 10.

What is really goi ng on here? Doth groups are dedicated 10 lhe public and arc always in the public eye; yet what really makes them think they are so different in every way?

Politicians are forever ancmpting 10 make themselves look good and keep con1rol of things going on around them.

They're busy making lhe news, nol telling socie1y abou1ii.

Media people don't always feel the need 10 be as oouth as politicians. A common thing between the two is 1ha1 both clements only seem 10 pour it on when they need something from the other. The only difference is that the candy smile remains on the politicians' face 2-l hours a day. 365 days a year. 'They can' t afford 10 let their nastiness out in the open.

Reponers don't worry that much. If media people: feel like being nnsty, they are. If they don't get their way. watch out. h 's ea.\y 10 picture a scenario of the president standing a, a bouquet of microphones with hundreds of reporters crammed around him, screaming questions. elbowing at each other in an effon 10 get closer, their only goal is 10 get a story for the 5 o'clock news or the morning edition of the local newspaper.

Whal happens 11fler the story is rele11Scd? Something's wrong with one of the quotes, that question w11Sn'1 asked in the manner suggested in the story. h's obvious what he's thinking: Screw them and their microc11ssetu ruordus!

These confrontations with the media arc exhaustive.

Behind the scenes. the reporter is ncrvou~ at having 10 repon on such n con1rovcrsiol issue. It's 1101 crystal clear wha1 the pre.~idcm meant. It's vitnl 10 be objective. ti.! totally correct in every way, mnkc sure all the "allegcds" nre there and every word is accounted for. Everything must be correct or that rcponer could be nipping burgers at the local Zip· s for a llving. Covering these pr.:ss conferences i~ too stressful.

Do reponers and politicians deep down inside enjoy cattily swiping at each other? Neither con ever really vent his or her feelings of contempt 10 each other in person. The scary thing is they ne.."<I each other 100 badly.

The fact is, without politicians. reporters wouldn't have jobs. and without reporters. politicians wouldn ·1 have anybody 10 advertise for their never-ending campaigns, therefore nol geuing anywhere in their endeavors. Who was it that snid, "Any publicity is good publicity?" Unfonunately, or maybe not, the two groups need each other 10 succeed.

Though seemingly 101ally opposite in every way, the 1wo crafts are striving 10 get the ancntion of the public. That's a goal they both share. When they argue, it's not personal half ns much as it's just two scp:irate trades a11emp1ing to run their companies well and be successful.

II doesn't maner if they pretend 10 hate each other or really do. They arc forced to tough it out. If lhe conlfl)versy can be found at a college level, doesn't it appear Ihm a pauem ,s forming? These same students will carry on that contempt for each other as they climb the ladder of their respective occupntions.

Who knows, maybe someday. Christa Manis or another ASNIC president will be a big-shot congressperson and he or she will find a former Sentinel reponer covering a conference for a giant metropolitan newspaper. Whal will be the reactions of the two? Probably either .., see that reporter never got out of that god-forsaken business" or "I see he or she is still full of it." Most likely a similar reaction of what would happen now. Don't be fooled: they love it.

Media ethics: Many questions arise from story, column by.same reporter Edi1or.

The issue or ga) right~ is one or !he mos1sensi1ivc and

po1entinlly inflammmory issues of our lime. Recent even IS ASNIC's failure 10 recognite 1.he LGBA, have prompted bolh !he student body and local communi1y 10 examine !he issue more closely.

I am sure !hat !he stllff or !he Senti ncl has !he best in1en1ions regarding nccurntc coverage of the developmen1 of tlus s1ory. Bui, a1 the risk of being inflammatory, I must ask. is your reponing truly unbiased? Hns 1he position of ASNlC been complc1cly nnd oo:ura1cly presen1cd? In her most recent article, Sherry Adkins prcscn1ed the following su1cmcn1 regarding ASNIC's reasoning for 001 recognizing the LGBA: "... minutes from the Jan. 21 ASNIC board mee1ing contain no ju.~1ific:11ion for dcninl, jus1 that it occurred by n 5-2 vo1e..."

She n11ribu1cd this informu1ion to the statement of a legal opinion issued by the ldnho auomcy gcnerul's office. That wns a close as 1he article came 10 relating here al NIC. in 1he controversy surrounding

ASNlC's s1nnd. The rest of the article con~b1cd of information supporting 1hc supposi1ion 1ha1 ASNIC should recognize 1he LGDA. I'm not saying that 1hey should or tha1 1hey ~hould 1101. My poin1 is 1ha1 ASNIC did have a reason for nol rccogni1.ing 1hcm. Whal was their justification nnd why wasn' 1i1rel med in 1hai same article?

Additionally. I would ask whe1hcr ii Is appropria1e for Sentinel staff members 10 be simul1aneously invOl\·cd in both commentary on and reporting of 1hc same Mory?

Keeping the facts of a s1ory and the opinions of a column sepamlC sounds like a difficult task a1 bcs1. Some would question 1he decision 10 walk tha1 close to the line of joumnlistic elhics.

Tiie Sentinel. as a college publication. has lhe reponsibility of instilling good elhics in ilS staff.

Mor..'Ovcr, what is the proper role of the media? ls ii 10 steer the public's opinions through selec1ive reporting or 10 present a c~rnple1e picture so 1h01 we rnny form our own informed opinion?

Gay Club Vote: Student chastises ASNIC president Manis for choice Editor.

I feel thn1 I have l() wri1c you (ASNIC J>rcsidenl ChriMa Manis) :1 no1e 10 let you know that I disagree with your recent vo1ing. The issue is human rights. nat ~cxual pr.:fcrcnce.

We have to let all the people hove their say whc1her or no1 we agree wi1h 1hcm. If we were 10 lei 1he mo1ori1y rule 1his world. this would not be o very fun place 10 live nnd work and 1101 10 mention. learn.

I would hope we had gouen 1his nll worked out with the civil rights is~ues b.ick in the '60\, in addition, wi1h the women issues of 1he '70s. Nonh ldnho College's

With a loud crash reminiscent of Mases parting lhc Red Sea. boom, boom, out went the lights! A malfunc1ion in an cleclrica.l iransformer was blamed for lhc failure, however, Mike Bundy, track coach, looking upward, exclaimed, "You can sure 1ell who's side he's on!"

Sad girl brings evil stepmother and her two Clfi ere a. sisters to Lake City Playhouse in Coeur d'Alene by l\lorkAoron Perry

Sentinel Rtporter

The story of Cinderella. her stepsisters and her evil stepmother is coming to the Lake City Playhouse.

Many NIC student~ will be in this production directed by rom1cr NIC studc nt Steve Scoble. and the music is being directed by NIC's own Todd Snyder.

Snyder said he first met Scable about five years ago when Scable ployed the prince in "Once Upon a Maurc.ss" during his freshman year at NIC. Seable is now a co-monnger or the playhouse and Snyder said he enjoys working with him. They directed the "Phantom or the Opera" together last year. so this is their second effon.

"It's not just· you do your work nnd I'll do my work.' It talce.s a lot or working things out together," Snyder said TI1e lead will be played by Lnura Seable, who is the other co-manager or the playhouse. She has recently played Lilly in "Annie" and Molly in "Mousetrap."

Laura Scnble also played Christine in last year's "Phantom or the Opera." She said most or the "Phantom'' cast is in this production and she's glad to be working with them again because she feels the "Phantom or the Opera" was ao extremely succcssrul perfomrnnce.

"It's hard to play such n good-natured person. especially when you have wicked step· sisters." Scoble said. when describing ber character.

The prince is being played by Cheyenne Jackson, a student at SCC, and the queen by former NlC student Colleen Evans. The stepmother will be played by Lorna Hamilton. an NIC aerobic~ and dance instructor. The two stepsisters will be played by

Melissa Lamb-Topp and Cory Rosdahl. both are students at Coeur d'Alene High School.

The music in "Cinderella" was originally done by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which Snyder describes as the "True Americana or the '40s, ·sos and '60s."

Laura Seable said the music i~ light and run when comparing it to the "Phantom or the Opera." which she said wn~ more challenging and operatic.

In this performance, Snyder said to pay close aucnrion to "In my own Lutle Corner," a piece sung by Cinderella. lie also says the stepsister songs ore very runny and the prince sings "dashing. prince-like" songs. "'Cinderella' was always my favorite lniry talc," Scoble said. "Even though I'm a grown up person, I foci like a kid again." "Cinderella," according to Snyder. "teaches a story that l don't think is true," he said, when referring to the happy ending.

He mentioned that most people don' t marry n hnnd~ome young prince and live happily ever arrcr, especially with the divorce rntcs being n~ high as they are. He reels this isn't a realistic story to be teaching to young children.

This is a fontnsy story. as Snyder mentioned. so don't be surprised when everyone turns back into pumpkins and mice at midnight.

The opening night ror "Cinderella" is March 4 at 8 p.m. The show runs for three weeks. Others.how times arc March 5 at 8 p.m.. March 6 at 2 p.m .• Morch 11 -12 at 8 p.m., March 13 at 2 p.m., March 17 a1 7 p.m .• March 18-19 at 8 p.m. and March 20 at 2p.m.

North Idaho Symphony Orchestra presents first concert of season

by Sherry L Adkins Sentinel Reporter The first symphony performance or the spring will be the North ldlho Symphony Orchestra's presentation or a "Youth Conccn For All Age.~:· March 10 at 7 p.m. in Boswell Hall Auditorium.

The orchestra will deliver musical works from Benjamin Britten and Felix Mendclsshon in o two-pan program that is scheduled to last approximately one hour.

Both pieces or music will be introduced by narrator Roger Welch in an effon to show how stories can be told by an orchestra with no singers, conductor Todd Snyder said.

Don't let the name fool you. however. The "youth concen" theme is not just for people who arc young in years but is designed for those who arc young in terms of orchestra experience, according to Snyder.

The first hair or the conccn will rcature the music or Britten's "The Young PCfSQn's Guide to the Orchestra." This piece relates to Britten's study of Timbre', or "tone color," and cmphasiics the different tone.~ of instruments in the orchestra. Timbre' musically illustrates the same pitch played in different tones by different instruments, Snyder

said.

The narrator gives the spotlight to each pan or the orchestra one at a time, then that section plays the pieces that were specifically designed for those instruments.

"It's a solid piece or music even without a narrator," Snyder said. 'The intent is to show off how good the players or the orchestra arc."

Each instrument hns its own distinct sounds and characteristics. according to Snyder. For instance: ''The clarinet is very athletic, almost gymnastic," he said.

"While the Oute is very bird-like and the cello has a splendid richness and warmth.''

Britten's piece covers all the sounds or the orchestra. The strings being the "scrape," the woodwinds and brass arc the "blow," and percussion male es the "bang:· The second half or the performance will be a presentation of Mendelsson's "Symphony No. 4 in A-Major," subtitled ''The Italian Symphony."

This piece is a musical depiction or the artist's experiences during II trip to Italy and is presented in four pans. The four movements or this symphony are: "Allegro Vivantc," "Adantc Con Moto," "Con Moto Moderato" and

"Saltarcllo." The last or these was made famous during the bike riding scenes in the movie, "Breaking Awny."

Because Mendclsson never actually inte,prctcd this classic piece. Snyder decided to use a narrator to give the audience "a typical idea of an experience he may have had."

The symphony has to do with emotion and human experience and is "a balance between Yin and Yang," according to Snyder.

"Mendelsson balances clarity with nuances or a romantic spirit." he said. "A free-thinking. adventure.some spirit, yet a classicist through .ind through. It balances out."

Mendclsson is considered somewhat or a genius and Alben Einstein once referred to him as a "romantic clilSSicist," and with good reason. Before Mcndelsson died at age 38 in 1847, he had given the world the girt or his symphonies, 12 or which were written between the ages or 12 and 15. He is also responsible ror the classic. worldrenowened "Midsummer Night's Dream,'' wluch he wrote at age 17.

Admission ror the show is rn:e for NIC students and sl.3ff with ID cards and SO cents otherwise in an effon to enable families to attend.

When \\'C split up I really took it pcraonally and just fell apart. Then one day I .,.-.i.~ analyzing the Mtuation to de.1th and said.

by Fekadu Kiros Se111itlel Reporter "I om on artist who is Indian, not an Indian artist," said performance artist James Luna, who presented his art on campus. Thursday, Feb. 24.

Luna, who is a counselor at a community college, Ii ves on the La Jo lla Reservation in Valley Center. Calif. His prese ntation featured several slides or artwork that he has done over the years with nn explanation on the impor1ancc ond meanings they have.

His main theme throughout his presenta1ion seemed to be the role of the contemporary Indian. He spoke about how some people hove o fixed image o f a "renl Indian" that may not fi1 the con1cmporary Indian like him.

In order to present this idea in one of hb shows, he chose 10 present death since it is pron11ne11t in Indian cuhure.

He slept on a display table along with some personal objects, like his arrest records, favorite music tapes,. college degrees. divorce papers and pictures of his family.

"This exhibition was important,'' Luna said, "It made people aware of the Indians in California and the reserva1ion that existed there." He also said that it

gave him a knowledge as to who he is.

The most important piece of the day consis ted of a piece that he titled, "Taking a Picture with a Real Indian."

In this work Luna stood in the museum dressed in traditional Indian clo th es and invited people 10 have their picture taken with a "real Indian." Some did, he said, while others stood there thinking about what they were doing. Some even regreued it ofter having their picture tal..cn. The point or this exhibit wus to ~how that Indi ans should not be t rented a~ a commodity.

Luna said the most important thing missing in his art WO$ himself. When he

was asked questions pertaining to his race, he started asking himself who he really is. He said he was living in two worlds and cultures. Some of his artwork combined these two different worlds.

"The answers I found add ed depth to my work," he said.

Some art students that auended the show learned from the prese ntation and said they received a new perspective.

"I was especially impressed by bis slides that dealt with how the New Age think ers are trying 10 think like the 'Indian way' without fully understanding what II is abou t," said art student Heather Bruns.

Musicians keep the spirit of Jimi Hendrix alive with tribute

by Mark A. Jerome Sports Editor The spiri1 or the lalc. grea1guiw legend Jimi

Hendrix is alive and well thanks 10 ..Slone Free: A Trib111e To Ji,ni Ht11dri.r, •· the new Warner Bros. relea.1e thiu rea1ures 14 in1erpre1mions or Jimi's songs covered by a diverse array or anislS. The album wns the brainchild or Eddie Kramer. who engineered Hendrix s first four albums in the ln1e Sixties. Kromer decided that there was a whole new generation or music lovers tluu was ready, wiUing and able to be 1umed on to the six-string brilliance or the man called ''The Master or the Strntocastcr...

Hendrix hns affected so many musicians' lives with his music, and thi5 tribute album was a chance for Jong-time Jimi enthusiasts to express tl,eir respect, love and dcvo1ion 10 arguably the grcrucst guitar player or all time.

Some of the musicians took the traditionnl rou1c in the remake or tl1e Hcndrtx tunes, and others went wi1h tl1e off-the-wall approach, but ir's all classic Jimi.

STON

Guns and Roses nnd one of rocks bes1lhroats Paul Rodgers from Free, Bad Company and Firm fame tcnn1 up with the original Band of Gypsys, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. The Band of Gypsys was Jimi· s second band, which followetl The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Slash combines his own playing style wilh a splush of Hendrix. This on top of the Gypsy's lc1hal rhythm just makes Rodgers voice sound all the much swcc1cr. This is easily one of the best culS on lhe album.

evrew...

"SPAN ISH CASTLE 1\-lAGIC" Pcrfom,ed by the SpiJ1 Doctors Vocal ist Chris Daron and his band chose a Hendrix 1unc lhnl is one or the more populnr ones 10 remake. h's been covered by several guitnr inspired nrtis1s. but tl1e Spin Doc1or.. do the besl und1tional vcn,1on I've yet heard.

"REDHOUSE" Performed by Duddy Guy Jimi's musiClll roots were always sunk deeply in !he blues, so it was an obvious choit.! 10 gc1Buddy Guy, who is acknowledged as one of the greatest blues gui1arists of al l time, 10 play on lhe tribute album. Hendrix has got to be rolling over in his grave a.~ Guy comple1cly shreds on "Red House... He squeeie.~ every ounce of emotion nnd heartache ou1of his guilllr with the unbridled pnssion thal only someone who has lived the blues can possibly do. This is one of Guy 's mas1crpicccs. ''HEY JOE" Pcrfonned by Body Count The honor of remaking Hcndriit's first single, "Hey Joe," fell on the shoulders of rapper/rocker lcc-T and his hardcore band Body Counl. They tear into one of Jimi •s theme songs and come away wilh gutsy performance. When I first saw who was doing ··Hey Joe" I though1 10 myself "Oh no lhey'rc going to completely trash it." I was wrong. They gave the song the rcspec1 it deserved and in doing so, earned a little respect for themselves I thinlc.

"MANIC DEPRESSION" Performed by Seal and Jeff Beck Jamming was an integral part of Hendrix's creative process

so it was only fitting that Kramer broughl Jeff Beck 10

Olympic Studio~ in London, where Jimi n:cortlcd much of his most dcfini1ive work. and paired him with vocalht Seal.

Beck has been shnnering 1he boundaries of clt:c:tric guiw for lhrcc decades, going back to 1he Ynrdbird~ where he ployed wilh Clop1on and Led-Zeppelin\ Jimmy Page. Beck. o true Hendri~ disciple, show~ fans n glimpse into tcrri1ories Jimi might have explored had he lived. Beck comple1ely goes off the deep end with his guitnr on "Manic Deprcs.~ion" and I lhink Jimi must be smiling down from heaven for his 1nJly Hendrix-like contribution.

''FlRE'' Performed by Nigel Kcnnc-dy The producers were tltinl,mg diversi1y when they acquired Kennedy and hb blazing violin 10 do "Fm:." The result was nn interesting and killer in~trumentnl. They really should have had Kennedy swi1ch songs wilh lhe Pre1enders. The rhylhm or the song nnd lhe vocal range would have been a perfect fi1 for the Prc1enders.

"BOLD AS LOVE" Performed by lhe Pretenders Singer and leader of lhe Pretenders Chrissy Hyndc, picked lhis song to cover because it is her favori1e Hendrix song. The Pretenders were a natural choice for the album. Their diversity and Hyndcs' more lhan solid vocals make for an awesome traditional version of "Bold As Love." Hynde was quoted in Guitar World, '1nere was always something beyond lhe music about Jimi: he had such a special appeal.

And you never lhought of him as being black. He was just Hendrix - colorless."

"I DON'T LIVE TODAY'' Pt rformed by Sl~ h and Paul Rodgers with tht Band Of Gypsys Some pretty big guns came ou1 of nowhere when they heard about a tribu1e album for Jimi. Slash, from the band

Performed by Belly Hendrix would've really dug Tanya Donnely. This ex-Breeder docs a fun~tic version wilh "Are You Experienced... It's weird he.iring a femo.le sing a Hendrix mnejus1 because you·vc heard a male'~ voict with ii for 25 years, but she sounds way cool Her version is so surreal and psychedelic thni r m sure Jimi would've loved ii.

"CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC'' Perfom1ed by Llvi.111: Colour Vernon Reid pickt.'d one or llendnx·s best :.ong~ 10 remake. and true 10 Living Colour form, they combine funk. soul and ripping guitnn in a killer n!make. They truly do j ustice to this

''STONE FREE" Performed by Eric Clapto1J No Hendrix tribu1e could be complc1e withou1a contribution from Eric Claplon. Clapton was one or the earlies! pcrfom1ers to recogni7..e the genius or Hendrix. Clnp1on·~ version proves to be one of the best culS on the album. He's one or the hnndful or guiuuislS still alive thnt is 1u1100 in 10 whut mcssoge Hendrix was trying 10 deliver through his lyrics and guiw playing.

"ARE YOU EXPERffiNCED"

cla.s.sic. " TUI.RD STONE FROM THE SUN"

Pcrrom1ed by Pal Molhcny This is one of my favorite llcndrix songs. h's nbou1n IO\l space 1ravclcr who d«idcs to stop on lht lhird stone (planet) from t11e sun. which is Earth. I've oflcn thought thal Jtm1 WAS lhc 10!.t ~pnce traveler, he was so ahead of his time. This song was recorded in the lntc '70s by Ma1hcny and hi~ band and st.1nds up today a~ n clru.\ic. The fare Jaco P~torius. one of the greatcs1 ba~s player, of all time. play~ on this cu1 and ii~ a definite treal to hear him play. Pastorius was as far out~ Hendri~. Just imagine if they could've jammed 1ogelher. That would have been a t'Dtaclysmic event "HEY BABY (Land or the New Rising Sun)" Perfom1ed by l\1AAC - ( McCreudy, Ament, Cameron and Cornell - AKA Templeof lhe Dog) The tribute would not have been complelc withou1 a contribution from some artistS from Hendrix·~home 1own of Seanle. MACC is a combination or 1wo guys each from Se.ntle grungers Pearl Jam and Soundgardcn. This ~arne quartet got together for the one-shot Temple of !he Dog release and learn up again to honor Hendrix. They pick an obscure Jimi tune and cut it completely live, which makes for a spontnm:ous recording.

Th.is is a must album for all Hendrix fans' an::hivcs and a terrific album for anyone· s collection. Obviously not all the artists who keep the flame alive were able to be on the album, so my review can·1 end withou1 giving recognition and thanks to several guitar players who kepc Jimi's spirit and guitar style alh·c lhrough the '70s, '80s and in10 the '90s.

Special thanks 10 the lo1e, grea1 Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robin Trower, Randy Hanson, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush.

Kirk Lybecker exhibits fine arts in the Union Gallery

by Sherr)' l,. Adki ns Srntinel Rcponu Union G311Cry is featuring the puintlngs and drawings of Pon land anist Kirk Lybecker inn visual ans exhibit entitled "Different Objects-Some Vision." The exhibit will be on display until Mo.rch 31.

The skillful use of acrylics, wa1crcolors. oils and combinations of th~c mnterinls bring a cenain grace and dbtinction 10 the 35 paintings and drawings which mnke up this collection.

Lybecker manages to uniquely blend the humbleness of nature and the chaotic existence of man to produce realistic paintings and drawing~. Several of the pieces arc so realistic, they look like actual photographs.

The anist brings a generous proponion of deuul and talent to a wide variety of objects including nowcrs, buildings and junked automobi les from the demoliuon heap.

Two of Lybecker·s crcntions have been gifted 10 the college and can be seen on the walls of the Student Union Building and the library. A pho10-realls1ic drawing entitled "Toboggan'" hangs on the brick wall of the cafeteria and a watercolor of on iris enchants

one of the library walls.

Lybecker is considered a master of the airbrush and 1augh1 drawing, watercolor. airbrush and illusuntion at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash., from 1979 10 1992. His popularity has grown in recent years due to one-person shows in New York, Sun Valley, Florida and numerous Nonhwes1galleries.

Lybecker was the host of Inst week's Open Workshop Weck for NTC an students.

He gave demonsuations on airbrush and watercolor techniques, computer graphics and also hosted a gallery walk, reception and slide lecture prescntotion.

Lybecker also demonstrated graphic design techniques using Gesrnlt. This is a design technique which deals with fooling the eye. Gestalt "manipulates figure-ground relationships or positive-negotive space," according to Allie Vogt, gallery director.

This is more commonly known as the picture which actually has two images. A viewer secs only one at first. but a second is obvious when studied.

The Union Gallery is located in the basemen! of the Edminster Student Union photo by Erin Siemers Building and is open weekdays, noon 10 6 Roses are red, violets are bluelll This watercolor painting of Lybecker's Is p.m. For more infonnation call 769-3427. displayed in the Union Gallery.

•t M ••The flavors of Italy in downtown Coeur d'Alene T10 acarOlll, Your ticket to great pasta and brain numbingcocktails

by Jolene Green Sentinel Reporter Prom the extraordinary country of Italy to the streets of downtown Coeur d' Alene comes n new kind of dining experience. Whether you arc going for a nice dinner out on a date, or just out for a drink, it's a great pince to go for an

Ifood Review...

~l:!~;~lic cuisine.

Tito Macaroni, one of the new shops located in the Coeur d'Alene Ph11.a on Shemian Avenue. is a restaurant suited for any kind of atmosphere. It is a very classy restaurant. not quite as fancy as Beverly's, but it is definitely no McDonald's.

Separate from the restaurant is a cocktail bar. Those fonunatc enough 10 be 21 or older can wet 1heir whistle with anything from fine French wine to a shot of Jock Daniels.

Upon entering the dining arcn. you run into a truck in the middle or the noor. Carrying a load of fresh breads and foods, it only adds 10 the splendor or the mood they arc crCllting. This throws in the ''Lady and the Tramp" effect to the restaurant. After being seated very promptly

by Lenny Rehard, the manager, we were greeted by our very friendly waiucss, Hiedi, who would take care or us

for the evening.

We were soon sipping on the suawbcrry daiquiris we ordered, and of course, virgin they were. On the menu is a list of navorful food we had the choice of trying. The first thing 10 catch my eye was the list of antipasto, or appetizers. Stuffed mushrooms ond fried mozzarella arc only a few of the srnners they offer. They ranged from S3 toS7.

The main courses, such as spagheni, fcnuccini and oven-baked pi zzas are oil tailored 10 your delight. Pina or spagheni can be found between S5 and S12, depending on what delicasee you order. They also offer a brilliant array of linguini and Insogna, from S6 to S12. for all you pasta lovers out there.

House specials include chicken picca1a. This includes chicken draped in lemon. capers. and cream. which runs you SI 0.95. Another succulent house dish is their jumbo cheese ravioles, which are stuffed with cheese and pomodori and cost $9.95.

For those of you who would like 10 take that cenain someone out for a nice dinner, I recommend it highly, unless you are one of those cheapskates. Dinner for two and drinks will run you about S20 dollars plus a tip.

Thiny minutes after ordering, the food arrives, hot and well wonh the wait. After the compllmenwy garlic bread she delivered, Heidi proceeded 10 actually grate,

by hand, parmesan cheese onto our dishes. I can honestly say I' m not much of a pasta lover, but this was the best Italian meal I've hod in this town, or for thnt fact, any town.

No1 only was the food superb, the service impeccable and the restaurant spotless. but you get crayons to decorate your 1ableclotb. I thought this was a real kick in the pants, however. we proceeded 10 play some skillful and intense games of 1ic-1ac-1oe until our terrifically prepared dinners arrived with a smile.

NIC takes third at nationals Granieri takes national championship

by Mark A. Jerome Sports Editor Most junior colleges in the counu-y would be exuemely happy with a third-place finish in the NJCAA National Tournament. but for a team thot hns won 11 Nn11onal 111les it"s l..ind of hard 10 swallow.

The Cardinals came home from Bismark, N.O., with the third pince trophy in hnnd and o national champion wrestler 111 158 pounds in Steve Granieri.

Granieri. a 1992-93 second-team high school AllAmerican from Denver. was cnlled twice for stalling and barley clung 10 o 5-4 victory in the finals.

Granieri wasn't favored 10 win the championship because of Frank Trigg of Phoenix, Ariz.. who came into the notional championship match with a 34-0 record.

Granieri went 4-0 nt nationals and wound up with a 43-2 record. His only losses were against major college opponenis nt 1he Llls Vegas Invitational in early December.

Sh of sev.:n Cardinals earned All-American honors. To earn All-American Malus, \IITCStlers must finish in one bf the top eight places.

The second-ranked Cardinal\ fini~hed with a tOlOI of 69 1/4 point$, but were 34 In behind top-ranked Garden Cit}. Kan. Founh-ranked Iowa Centro! 100k second with 98 1/2 points.

Nonh Idaho has finished in the top three at nationals for 14 consecutive years.

"I was disappointed because I hod high hopes.''

Cardinal coach John Owen said. "Bui we were the third best team there. We were in the position where we had to beat ou1 Clackamas College (Ponland) and Lincoln College Ollinois) for third place."

Sophomore Jason Demon lost a 4- 1 lead nnd ended up losing 9-5 in the semi-finals nt 126. He struggled 10 win in an ovenime consolauon match and then went on 10 dominate the 1hild place match, 22-9.

NIC's only sophomore nt nationals and returning All-American was Coeur d'Alene na1ivc Mike Smith. Smith lost 14-8 in his lhird-pl:ice match but took founh, which was one place belier 1hnn last year's fiflh-place finish m 134.

Taking founh place was 167-pournder Ray Routh. who suffered both his losses in one-sided decisions ngalns1 Iowa City star Edwin Loren. Routh lost 10-3 in the third-place match.

N\C's Scon Surplus came in liflh. breezing 9-4 in his linal match m 177.

Rick Moreno placed seventh at 150 after a 9-7 win. Travis Hughes, NIC's 190,poundcr, 10~1both his matches nfler a stunning upset in the li r.,1round.

Iowa Centrnl's Steve Williams. th e 134-pound champ, was voted the outsl!lnding wrestler of the 1ournnmeni.

As fur as next year· s team goes, Owen said 1ltn1 tl1e Cards will ha,•e a 101 of Wn:51lers returning, but many the 01hcr teams do as well.

Granieri may be only one-year deal

by Ryan Bronson Se111i11tl Reporter The North Idaho College w~1llng 1cam was lucky 10 get Steve Granieri, and the Cardinals will be even lucl.1er if lhey gill lo l.cep him.

Granieri, a freshman ,, ho grappled his way 10 the 158-pound Nmional Junior College Athletic Associu1ion title Inst weekend in lli~morck, N D.. came to NIC n., n Proposiuon -18 athlete after he origionally signed 10 wrestle at Nebmsk.i.

Before coming to NIC, Granieri visited Garden City. the newly crowned NJCAA champions, but Granien didn' t like the atmosphere. So. he came 10 Nonh ldnho.

Granieri wrestled brilliantly at the national 1ournamen1. scoring a pin in his photo by Ryan Bronson lirst match, a technical fall in the second Steve Granieri was NtC's only wrestler to and a 20-7 thrashing in the semifinal~ before edging previously unbcntcn Frank eam a national champlonshfp.

Granieri said he hod to light through several prc,sure;, to win 1he 1i1le.

"II was a big lood off my shoulders," Granieri said. 'The guys on the t.:Jm were looking for me to win ii h was a gre:11 feeling:· Granieri said he didn't regret his choice 10 come to NIC "'I could huve ~1,1yed home for a year," said Gr.mien, who finished his high school wre~tlmg career in Thornton, Colo.. with a 119-1 record and three st:ue championships.

"Since I've came here, I've learned a lot.

You couldn't hove a bencr coach than coach (John) Q1,1,cn" If Granieri stays at N!C next year, he probably won't be wrestling 10 defend his national title. Granieri said he waolS 10 keep three year.. of eligibility for Nebraska.

"If I stay here. I'm going 10 redshirt."

Granieri ,aid. "I might be at Nebraska next year. I'd have to take a year off from wrestling. but ii would help me with my studies.''

Granieri posted a 43-2 record this year for the Cardinalb and gathered :in unbelievable 181 tnkcdowns. If Granicn were 10 wrestle a1 NIC nex1 season, he would only need 172 rnkc:downs 10 become th.: NJCAA record holder.

Owen praised Granieri's ability and the progress he's made this year.

"He· s came a long way this year. not onl) as a wre.stler. but al~o ~ocinlly." Owen said. "He's technically improved and he's gonen bener with the compe1111on. He cares about the team and he cares about winning.''

And what about neitt year?

"II all depends on what Steve wanis 10 do," Owen said.

Snowboarding could be in the 2002 Olympics

Knuckle-draggers shred down the hill

by Ken Chr~ley Stmintl Reporter "Boogie Dude! Goofy foot a 180 nnd ride ii fakie. Tuck the half-pipe and lel"s shoot the gap."

Sounds like some kind of code to me . but then I have heasd some of I.his lingo before from two guys who were trying 10 jump over parking meters on these linle surf boaros with wheels.

What muy be o foreign language 10 the uninitiatt:d is snowboarder lingo. If you ore a winter spons buff and you

ltife Sports... frequent I.he local ski nreas, then you probably have 11 working knowledge of some of the terms.

Skiing has taken on some major competition for room on I.he slopes end at times. some very heated exchanges between skiers and snowboarders can be wiinessed. More and more of these riders of the infamous snowboards are making their presence known. One aficionado of this recent craze is Steve Bryant. o first-year student at NlC. Steve is into his second serious year of riding the snow waves.

More ski resorts are adding snow parks nnd pipe-lines for I.he increasing number of boarder... More than a few dollars being are pumped into the ski area coffers. and despite the tirade of protest from the traditional skiing set. snowboards arc apparently here to stay.

"I stancd racing when I got enough control and I did prcny good.'' Steve said. He has moved from racing 10 freestyle as there is more in1cres1 in doing tricks and racing is real "restrictive". He added that he enjoys doing tricks and stunts as they arc more fun.

Snow-boarding is a cross between skale-boarding and surfing. The 1em1s used arc a mix of the two spons. Several of the tricks arc a mi:<. of stunts from both disciplines.

There are racing boards which are 180 centimeters long down 10 the free.style 150 cm boards. The racing boards are stiff and not very forgiving. Free-style boards are ncxible and the nose and tail are of a comparable length. Bindings are set up for soft boots. and Sorcls seem 10 be I.he boot of

The tricks that a veteran shredder can perform range from the 180 to the 360-dcgrcc turns. Hand stands. flips and cndos arc oil included in a ..good" boarder's bag of tricks. The creation of snow parks that ore restricted 10 boarders have opened up orens to practice fn,>e-style tricks nnd have helped

to ease the complaints of the skiers. Half-pipes or snowboard runs have been incorporated into several of the slopes ofi' I.he major ski areas.

A pu~h is afoot to have snowboarding in the Winter Olympics as a recognized event by the year 2002. The popularity of the sport is increasing at an amating rate und with enough pressure from a supportive public, there is liule doubt that snowboarding will be an event of the future.

Look at the aerial and acrobatic skiing rn this year·s games.

The U.S. and Canada started the sport and Europe has begun 10 dominate it the same way?

and an evu growing number of professional and lay peoplt from the community hove participated in the trials held as II pon of the spring semester Slllte and Local Government class.

Each J()().level course has o separate ond distinct trial with a common thread: all arc first degree murders.

It's so fascinating to watch students grow from not l..oowing much about procedures at the beginning 10 being light years ahead ot the end. said Sttwort.

"They are so shy and untalklltivc at the beginning. but Lord l1 ' s hard lo get 1hcm to stop at the end," he said, adding. ''The studenlb hove so much fun 1hey don't realize how much they'v(' learned."

"Thty get so clever with their mo1ions I find myself having to consult with reul judge$," Stewart said. adding, ~omc law )tuden1s have made the decis ion to lei nothing s1op lhcm on lheir pursui1 of a l3w career or 1hey drcidc no1 10 pu rsue ii after participaLing in the 1rials. ''There i~ no right teaching tc.:hniquc and lcuchcr's must find their own comfort zone and ui.e their own methodst he said.

Stewart hopes thot cameras could be mounted in the cl3ssroom as a tool to better aid him in evaluating student, involvement. One year the trials were taped and aired over a local cable television station.

"People got hooked on rhem just like the soap operas, " he said. He recalled the time an older woman from a local senior cirizen's center called to tell ~m he must tell her and her friends who really

In one panicula r cue the fac1s involved a murder lh:tt occured in the dead of winter. with snow so high thol during tcstimoney it wa~ n:pcatcdly ~t:u~d a~ on impcdment to the commison of the crime by on older woman. When the defense askcd for pic1ure,( of 1hc crime scene. the prosecution gladly obliged.

"There laid the body of the victim surrounded by 11,rccn grass nnd Jeoves on the trees,'' Stewarl said adding, " I guen you know the prosecution didn't get a conviction with that case.
