NIC ~tu(c11L,, alre,ady facing ri,ing costs of tuition, also will be. and hav,: nlrl.'ady l'Xpericnccd. the increase in the cost of paper nnd p.1pcr product.s.

According to Pulp nnd Paper Weck. Ol'Cr the past three to fil'e year... Lie paper indu,11)' has suffcl\'d its wor:.t economic conditions in o,·rr 50 ycan..

During this time. approximately 60 mill~ have clos..'d down. limiting the amount of paper production.

Economic expansion during the last three years has forced p.ipcr companies to re-open. This reo~ning takes two years 10 get it fully producti\'e.

Al"conling 10 P & P W1."Ck, until 1997, p.iper prices are cxpectt'C:110 be on the - - - .

Pa();'r pric~ hal'c alre:ady int'reast.'d 50 to 60 pcrrcnt: tcJCt book costs :ire .:xpt'Ctcd to increase 20 10 30 p,:n:cnt by ncx1)enr.

This shonnge include,, such paper as liller, computer. copy. typing. spir.11 notebooks. 1ex1 books, all clean white p:1per 3Jld Cl'en toilet paper.

To better fullill NIC student's needs. Bookstore M3Jlager Bill Semmler ri.'Ccntly sent a memorandum 10 Jerry Gl!C, dean of instruction. to Ir)' 10 help the students out with th.: price increase.

In Scmmler's attempt 10 nid 1he students. he propo:;ed three suggestions. He suggested thnt NlC Ir)' to stay with the same books for as long ns possible. This would prevent students from hnving 10 purchase new 3Jld expensive book.~ cv !IY semes1er. It would nlso nllow studtnts 10 resell their used books.

~~ ~

S,'Cond. h.: ;c.ked that the inslfUCtors check ,-wnh the bookston: for the price of the new book.~ before they order them. This again would help the studcms with the cost or new books, Semmler said.

Third. Semmler said the books1ore would also be looking at it's pricing policies nnd he would see whru he could do. He has already chosen not lO stock speci fic items in the bookstore because of their high costs.

"I won' t sell it because it (something 100 costly) is 100 expensi,·e." Semmler said." I can't gouge the students." ln the next two years the pnce of p.iper is expcc1ed 10 skyrocket, so here's a bit of advice From Semmler. , -:= =

Sick-building syndrome...

Closing of year leaves Hedlund issue still open by herry L. Adkins Se111i11rl Repcmcr A new rJ(h of hcnhh complaints couscd ,1dmi ni(tro1ors on April 26 10 table their recent dcci(ion 10 rehouse non-technical clo~scs elsewhere and move the welding program back on campus.

President Bob Benncu said new health concerns surfaced 13(1week and tWO· thirds of the 2-1 drafting students from the second noor reponed symptoms previously listed by other srnff and students earlier in the semester.

Since Jan. I , 19 henhh report forms ha,e been liled by staff and students in the building, with the majority or those being liled in April. according to Jerry Gee, dean of instruction.

The henhh complaints and n proposal by welding srnff 10 remain off campus have prompted the delay and will be discussed at the Mny 24 Board of Trustees meeting. Gee added.

In Morch, the board re:1chcd a decision 10 remove nOn·technical classes and make the building solely into a 1cchnical

en,•ironment for industrial voca1ionnl programs next semester. If health problems persisted, the building was 10 be closed and an off-campus site located 10 continue vocationol leaming. according 10 the board's schcrnntic decision.

The upper level of the building was closed in May of 1991 due 10 hcahh concerns of staff and student( and a former student liled a lawsuit claiming her health wn( damaged while aucnding classes prior 10 the closure.

From December 1993 until spring of this year. four series of air quality 1es1s have been done throughout the building at an estimated cost ofS13,000, nccord1ng 10 minutes or pn.u bonrd meetings.

An estimated S43.000 was 1he cost of moving 1he welding program. six months shop rental. utilities and other modifications 10 the facility. Dean of Admimstrntion Rolly Jurgens told the B0:1rd ofTru~tecs at its January meeting.

Th" $56,000 coupled with the U9J.840 approved spending from the 1993-9-1 budget as well as $45,000 each from the Ocp,1rtmcn1of Public Works and the S1a1e Board or Education brings the tnrnl :ippro~imate ~pending 011 solutions to 1he building's problems to S564,840.

Despite funding and troubl~hoo1ing. health concerns leave adminimators no option but to conunu,· discu~iun on long· term solu1ions for the building.

Protest over eminent domain lasts more than decade I

Bradbury: To take money would violate oath to,uphold, protect Constitution

by Melody Martz Se111inel Reporter

ie Oklahomo bombing has focused the nation on those people who believe the government is acting illegally and who are willing 10 take action against it. In contrast 10 horrors inflicted by those in Oklahoma is the non -violent personal protest waged for the last 13 years by a Coeur d'Alene man.

In 1982 Eugenio Bradbury's home and propeny on Hubbard Street were taken under right of emi nent domain and monicswere paid as a result of a judgment of the coun.

That money remains uncollected by Bradbury in pro1cs1 for what he said he considers an illegal net by those without specific power or overall authority. To 1akc the money, he said. would be in violation of the oath he took to uphold the Con~tilution and 10 protect it from iis enemies.

The sum of $4 1,210.51 is being held in Unclaimed Propcny Trust. invested in state funds, according 10 Kootenai County Clerk Tom Toggan According 10 Taggart, Bradbury just needs 10 come in and collect the money. The nrnount currenlly held is the same as wa.~ originally paid.

"Bec.-ause he was oware of i1, the monies are not accruing inter~s1," Taggart said.

Bradbury·s fonncr home faced Garden Street, which dead-ended at the front of his propeny. NIC had plans for expansion which included a new entrance 10 the college by extending Garden Street. right through Bradbury's propeny.

Bradbury did not want to sell.

When Bradbury did not respond to the coun action against him in the Idaho couns, NJC won by defauh. In December of 1982, default judgment was issued ordering in favor of NJC as plaintiff and thnt the "defendant recover from plaintiff the sum of $50,000 together with interest thereon at the rate of 18 percent per annum until paid." Mongage expenses were to be deducted and the balance rcmined 10 the coun.

Bradbury had filed coun documents in protest of

T

"U.S. criminal

codE~ says that

it is treason

·~~:then they don '·t have the

correct oath ...

That means

that anything they do has no

power or law."

-Eugenio Bradbury

the condemnn1ion of his home, but will, the federal government, not wilh any Ida.ho couns. His position was that no Idaho officials had taken 1hc proper onlh of office as prescribed by lilaho State Code and therefore had no authority in the moncr.

"U.S. criminal code says 1h01it is treason when they don't have the c,orrec1oath," Bradbury said. ''111at means that nnythi ng they do has no power or law."

Bradbury said he has taken on oath 10 uphold the U.S. Constitution twice in hi, life. once when he first came 10 this country from Columbia, and again when he served in 1h,: U. S. Air Fon::c.

"I had to swear to protect against fmcign ond domestic enemies," Bradbury said.

To tnl.c the money. Bradbury ~aid. "ould be a treasonous act on his p.111. coopem11ng wuh tho~e illegnlly in office. rndbury filed civil nction #82-.!477 with the U.S. Dis1ric1 Coun for the Dimict or Columhin in Scplcmbcr of 19F2. He said that ii finally ended up in U.S. Supreme Coun, but has never gotten any kind of n response.. '"The law sny~ they have 20 dnys 10 ·.:spond, and it's been 12 years," Bradbury said.

Bradbury ~nid thnt his opponents never challcn!.led his federal suit, sn he won. but the Supreme Coun has ne\'er mled and nc, er signed the default papers.

Within his papers. he said he asked that If the federal government wanted him to coopcrutc with the s1n1e officinb. would they relieve him of his oath S!l that he would be free from prosecution for tren~on?

"Do you see the dilemma I found myself in?"

Bradbury asked.

So Bradbury said he cannot collcc1the money until he hears from the Federal govcmr1cn1.

Idaho Code section 59-401 spells oc1 the Fonn of Oath to be taken as the oath of offict.

PBradbury ha.~ a suue ccnificmion of 59-401 which was in effect at the time. doled J!_ug. 17, 1982, signed by Secretary of State Pete R. Cena.rrusa. It spelled out four paragraphs to be included in the oath.

The code also £tn1ed, "A failure of refusal 10 take and subscribe suc.-h oath shall make such person ineligible 10 hold such office or 10 receive compensation for the same."

Bmdbury said that Idaho oaths of office on file at the time did not include the last thret paragraphs and arc thus invalid. Citing the code, he contends that nil such pe~ons are thus ineligible to hold office.

Sccuon 59-40 I of the Idaho Code was repealed

by Idaho H.B. 312. and a new section replaced it. passed in10 law in Session 1983 chapter 160. It was approved April 8, 1983. Section 3 of the Jaw was declared an emergency.

The new fonn of the oath has only one paragraph which swears or affinns suppon for 1he Constitution of the United States and the

B

Constitution of the S1a1e of Idaho.

NJC instructor Tony Stcwan said that the repealed sections of the Idaho statute violated individuals Cons1itutional righl~. so they had 10 be struck rrom the Idaho code: there was no choice.

He said it didn't just happen in Idaho.

Jim S1oicheff. Idaho state representative, said he looked into the reason for the declared emergency for repealing the code. He said that 1he three paragraphs in contention were added 10 the oath during the McCarthy era. In 1965 Federal Coun found ii to be unconsti1u1ional, but Idaho never officially changed the code.

According to Stoicheff. the Idaho anomey general asked the legislature to change the code in 1983 because his oflicc was spending in excess of 200 man.hours per year defending 1he srn1e against suits involving 1he code. " He (Bradbury) is saying, 'oh, they don't make them say this any more, so the oa1h is invalid,"' S1cwnn said. "He's puning this superior 10 the U.S. Cons1i1u1ion."

The parngmph stating thnt the refusnl 10 1:ike the oath mnkcs a person ineligible 10 hold office ha.~ also been strnck from the n~w version of the code.

S1ewnrt contend.\ 1ha1 the paragraph i~ not necessary.

"If you refuse 10 tnkc the oath, you would 1101be sworn m," Stewnn said.

Bradbury also has Idaho s1a1e ccnificauons from 1982 that as keeper of the oaths, Cennrrusa had no evidence of the filing of an official ooth for either !Jarry Schuler. the president of the college a1 the time, nor for Gary Schneidmiller. one of the NIC board of trustee.. oily Jurgens, NIC dcnn of adminis1ra1ion and chief fit.cal Orticer. was not associated with the college at the urne, but quoted Idaho Code 33·2106 as requiring the IJUJitecs 10 take the oath, not the pmidcnt He s1a1cd that all trusrncs toke the oath in his presence as clerk of the election. and oaths are filed wuh the secretary of state as prescribed by law.

Bradbury also had cenifications of the oaths 111kcn by Anorney General David Leroy and District Judge Gary Michael Harnan which ~howed only one parJgraph of the Idaho oath. However, since these arc: offices are judicial ortices. they fall under U.S. Constitution Article 6 and are not subject to Idaho Code.

Stewart said that he is not a lawyer and could not comment on whether or not Bradbury had a valid case. But he said that Constitutional lowcan be very complic.-ated and hi~ recommendation 10 anyone would be to seek coun.sel.

"I guess the bonom line to this whole thing is Iha! when dealing with code versus the Constitution, you have 10 spread out and lake in the entirely rather than one particular sec,lion," S1ew11r1 said.

'1 am not interested in being radical," Bradbwy said. "I just follow the law."

Keep dorms alive for students' sake A college c.unpus. beside~ ~ing an academic ins1i1u1ion, nced1, 10 pro"ide ,1~ Muden1s wi1h sorne1hing more 10 enhance 1hcir CApcrience and 10 help 1hern grow ~ individuab.

NIC provides this service in more ways than one.

A1hk1ics. intl"Jmural and clubs on cumpus all fill o gap 1ha1 is needed 10 give s1uden1s a well-rounded Chpericnce.

Campus housing. however. lends in i1s conl.ribu1ion in ,caching ~1udcnts more abou1 whu1 the "real world'' is like.

II seems scary 1hen 1ha1 some members of 1he Board of Trus1ccs are considering closing 1hc dorms.

TI1c belief of 1hc members of 1he bonrd is 1ha1 since NIC is a community college and is suppose 10 b.: serving the people :iround 1he nrea, 1he need for lhe domis is very minimal.

When considtring lhe mnkc ..up of 1he counties around 1he college, NIC is more unique 1han most o:hcr communi1y colleges. A studen1 Jiving in S1. Maries will hove 10 commu1e abou11wo hours every day 10 l>e able 10 n11end 10 school. TI1is i,ilua1ion is 001 seen frcqucmly in 01hcr c:ommunily colleges, pulliAg NIC in a unique and advanrngeous po.~i1ion.

The breakdown of the residency shO\\S 27 of the s1ur.len1s occupying the dom1 are from Idaho, which unswers 1hc quc~tion of 1he need for keeping the dorms.

In fact. 1hc waiting lb1 for 1hc 96 s1uden1 spaces are filled before spring ~cmcs1er has even suincd and a waiting lis1 of 40 people is common abou1 this lime of 1he y,:ar. This funhcr proves thm 1hc dom,s arc in high demand.

The residcn1 hall also provides resident~ wilh a chance 10 broaden 1heir horizons by providing 1hem w111 a varic1y of ac1ivis1s nod 1v11h n diverse !U'QUP of l)COple.

111c s1udcn1s are given 1hc opponun11y 10 experience an env1ronmen1 in which they can learn nbou1 sclfgovcmancc, diversi1y and inicrpersonol communica1ion. all or which a.re unique to rcsidcnl halls.

Parents also feel safer sending 1hcir children 10 a supervised hall ra1her 1han :in apanmem as their ch,ldrcns· firs1 exposure 10 1he "real world." The dorm offers a place in which s1udcn1s cnn pursue 1heir po1cn1ial in a safe en\•ironmenl.

The Jack of affordable housing around the area is another reason 1ha1 makes the dom1s appealing. The need for housing has grown in proponion 10 the increase o( the popula1ion a1 NJC. This forces some Mudents to commu1e from as far away as Bonners Ferry, thus losing valuable lime on lhe road and losing 1he opponunity 10 communica1e with a vas1 numb.:r of students.

The board has a valid poinl in 1ha1 lhe curren1 dorms do 001 mee1 the ~iaui requirement of a resideni hall, and anaining 10 mee1 thal requiremem would cos1 lhc college a1 Jeas1 a million dollars.

However. money should not be the issue. NIC. a~ a community college. is no1 supposed 10 be making money.

Ra1hcr NIC's role in the communily is 10 give all individuals a chance 10 discover their full po1emial.

Thus, in order 10 achieve this goal. NfC should try 10 build new dorms and 10 follow wha1 olhe.r universities and colleges hove done in the past. Some cxan1ples arc u1iliz.ing s1uden1 fees in a varic1y or ways and increasing rcnl on lhe hnll.

The dlsadvan1ages of closing 1he dorms are endless. II simply robs s1uden1s or the opponunily 10 learn from ol11crs like themselves nnd 10 grow rn a snfe and affordable environment

Opinion-Editorial

Ros~n: Staffer gets basic facts wrong Lcucr to lhe Eduor: After rending your poorly rescnrched oniclc regarding the problem you ~eem to have with me. I suggcM you !Erin Siemers! tnlce n moment to review a few basic fnc1s. Due to the combman1 nature of the spon of wrestling, the primary respon~ibi lily of n wrestling couch is 10 ensure the snfcty or all the n1hlctes un nnd off the mat. Of course. I um referring 10 the death of John Turpen. Conch Owen clearly knew thnl Steve Gmnicri was a time bomb ready to explode.

Funhcrmorc. there were 40 call~ 10 Police Dept. over n shon period or 1imc from nei@hbors of Granieri complaining of wild panies. When the team wen I on a road uip and Granieri wa.s left behind along wi1h 1hc now deceased Turpen, there should huve been an assistant conch left behind to supervise. Unfonuna1cly. Mr. and Mrs. Turpen now visit their son nt hi~ grave si1e and Granieri has been thrown ou1 of school.

As far as Man's maich to qualify for the Naiionals is

concerned. Cooch Owen 1vru; negligent in his coachini: responsibilities. I nm a fom1er wrestling coach and I ch:arly know the rules nnd regulations regarding the scoring of 1he match. Perhaps Coach Owen should read the procedure, os ton proper protest. He simply did 001 do his job. and he knows it too. You nlso fail 10 mention Conch Owen wns kicked ou1 of the Clncknmus toumnmcm for misconduct.

Regarding your David Lcucmrnn Top Ten list 0$ to where I should pu1 my money, let me remind you thai I donuicd nod paid for the entire wrcs11lng teams' warm up jerseys lw;1 year.

Your opinion is your own. TI1e fact, however, rcm.1in the same. If I were 10 @rode you on your s1ory I would ;u11gcs1 10 you 10 retake Englhh 101 nnd Engli,h Composition. You made no aucmp1 at being cute bu1, ended up looking II~,: a hor,e's .~,s.

Ros,en: Should let son take responsibility To the Editnr: After rcJJing 1.irin Siemer,· column from 1hc April issue of Jtc Sen1inel. I was left wondering.

Does he suppon his fother's positi,m'' I 'ow severely has this one lo~s affected his life ard A l,1 1docs Mr Rosen hope to accomplish by budgerin1 .oach Owen, 1hc Dougnt Shop or anyone els~ 01 J\I C' for that mailer.

1her~· 1 brr ~ no ;tnteincnt from Man. I understand Mau is in his !11 ly '20, and 111 this age. is nblc to ;pc:i~ for himself. Is Mr Rosen allowing his son 1his option? This remains to be seen. I'm hoping his aggressiveness hasn't c1nbnrrasscd Mnn. compromising his independence.

The 1,,ss of 1his match mny seem like the end of the

world for the Ro~en family, bul thi, i\ on,: ~m.ill In,, in a lifetime of successes Let u, keep 1hing, in pcr,pectivc Mr Rosen. Your ~on i, olive ,ind health) nod 1hcre an: many proplc on 1lm campus \\ho nrcn 1 quuc ~ lucky a, you .tnJ ) c:,ur ,on. Try 10 focus nn whal's po~i ti vc in your life.

I hove one morc 1hing to \3Y nnd tlm c,inc,·m~ Coach Owen.

Donation: Student expresses gratitude Leiter 10 the Edi1or.

This i~ my first semester at NtC, and I' vc come to love my instructors, the new friends !'ye made, and the general aunosphere of care and concern that permeate thi!> cnmpu~. On May l. I became the recipient of an anonymous cnsh gift that reinforced my belief in my fellow man and my chosen life goal (teaching). I' m writing this letter 10 express my hcanfclt 1hanks 10 the pcrson(s) who dcmonstnued 1heir generosity 10 me. Your timely gift left me speechless shocked and overwhelmed by emotion. I sincerely hope that these mere words can express the gratitude overflowing from my hean. r m planning to pass some of own girls on 10 my future students. and maybe one dny, ex1cnd the same son of helping hand that you gave me.

Receiving 1his gift was a new and uplifting experience for me. It brought te:irs to my eyes 10 kr,ow thnt someone ··out 1here" cared so much for my well-being. I give thanks to you and the higher power who guided you.

Gra1efully yours.

Columnist: Advised to get facts straight Letter to the Editor.

Once again, opinionist and fear-monger Dan Bell has come crawling out of his libernl cove 10 show his biased views ia rcponing who! the House Republicans have completed in their I00 dnys. When will Mr. Bell stop dis1orting the truth? In his April 13 opinion ruticle he Staled four incxcusnblc lies along with other dbtonions of the Republicnn agenda.

Lel°s strut the Republican UIX cut. Mr. Bell said the cm was 10 b.:ncfit those in the $200,000 incc,me bracket. This is true, but what he foiled 10 mention was that 75 percent of the tax rclit:f would go to those who earn under SI 00.000. Tom sounds like middle class 10 me. Next was the sta1cmcn1 or distortion that Republicans were beginning to eat their own. I "ould like for someone to show me when in history a party hos been so uni1cd as the House ofRepublicons hove been for these first 100 dnys. And then Dannyboy addressed Social Security. Even the leftist media in Washington D.C.. have resigned 10 the fact Iha•. Republicans hove exempted Social Security from their ems. Oh yes, let's not forge, 01e ·'mking the food out of the mouths of cluldren·· clich~. The block grant progrom designed to hand over school lunch programs over 10 the stiues will increase the funding by 4.5 pcn:ent. That sounds like endangering to me Mr. Bell-bouoms. Finally. when attacking Mr. Newt iu1d his popularity roting, be sure 10 separote that which is polled in popularity from pcrfom1ance. l11e latest lime/CNN poll as of March 28 showed tha1 58 percent of those who were aware of the Contraet With America supponed iL Mr. Dell, why don't you do yourself and all of us a fnvorond do a liule research before you write your opinion aniclcs.

Thunk you, Erik Jon \Vania

Instructor: Fumes over anonymous note To whomever who left o note on my car's windshield I don't know who you arc since you are reluctant in signing your name 10 the note you left on th~ windshield of my car April 28. My gucs~ is that you must be a male judging from the vocabulary con1en1 in the no1e, or at least some kind of earthling!

1am going to set a few things with you straight with you. I get to NIC every cl~s day and usually park my car at the same spot between 0615 and 0630 hours. I park m the parking space alloned for one car. I am \\CII aware that if I park where I usual ly do, on my right there are two parking places for people who have a disabled parking permi1. I alw11ys get very angry if someone parks in "disabled" spaces when s/he should not! Why'? I rn, a disabled American Vet and I am very happy that there on: parking space accomrnodat.ions available for my comrade~ and other disabled per..ons. As a matter fact there has been umes when I had to rcson 10 use such parking for my late wifo and for 1nyself and I was not very happy when someone usurped my right.

In order for you to soy that I parkt-'<I close to your vehicle, something i~ wrong.

Either your vehicle is invisible early in the morning or you parked it yourself 10 close to my car, and this was done ofter I plll"ked there! As for calling men nrune I don·, feel like mentioning in this letter. all I can say is "II tokes one to know one!" So look a1 yourself in the mirror before you put insult\ on people"s windshield !

NIC's Jerry Gee recalls rodeo days

by Cody luilhel Sr111inel Rtporltr When one think~ of u dcan of instruction, thty probably do not consider him a cowboy. Bu1 NlC Dean or Instruction Jerry Gee lits the bill to n tile as he inserts his lump or chewing tobacco into his lower lip.

Kansas State is where Gee lirst got the inclimuion of becoming l rodeo cowboy.

Gee i.aid that he lrlveled around the Kan= countryside with his dorm room friends going to rodeos.

"My buddic:.\ und I were just sitting around a donn room and decided 10 go to a local amateur rodeo," Gee said.

Gee rode b:11\!back broncos and bulls at local amaleur rodeo..'-. "l rode bulls and brollCQ~. or at least tried to stay on for II few seconds anyway," Gee said.

Gee said he was involved in rodeo the grea1est amount of time as a faculty member

nnd the- he:id cooch of the Dodge City College rodeo team. The conch for live years, Gee s:iid ~ got lhe job been~ they heard that he wus once an 11m111eur rodeo cowboy.

According to Gee, the difference between being an amateur cowboy or oowgirl and a pro is 1ha1 you have to become licen~ by 1he ProfessionBI Rodeo Association (PRA). In order 10 be a member you must ha\t1 a • perm ii card which costs around S 1,250. In order to compete in some of the larger rodeos like !he Cheyenne Frontier Days or Calgacy Stampede, you mu~t have a card and proressional Sll!IUS. TIit pro cowboys arc the on.:s that are on the road for long periods of time. People see the pro cowboys on the open highways pulling, their live.\tOCk in row. But Gee sa,d as an 11D111tcur be did a little uaveling himself. "'Three or us would crawl in10 the pickup,

Gee said thal the r(aSC)n he IS found of rodeo is because of the unpR!dicr.ability or

"You just never know wruu is going 10 happen:· Gee said."

Gee no longer is a partlciplllll in rodeo.

He ,aid rodeo is one of 1he lurtle!t lhings on the body. The bull and broll<'o riders wuruly hijve a shon carea, followed by the calf ropers. Team rop,!rs seem 10 be the oldest or rodeo cowboys. howtvcr, the ntwest rrend in rodeo i~ for fom1cr calf roper., to become trick ropers for shows and rodeos.

NIC has a rodeo club on camplb, which President Bob Bcnnell i~ the presiden1.

Bennen said he i,n'I really involved in rodto. but was named head of the club bccallliC NIC hlld a rodeo participanr tba1 needed a sponsor.

So nexr time you stereotype an administr.110<, lh.ink or Jerry Gee strapping his gloves around a rope that is tied around a J~pound animal a., the shoor opens and be is thrust around the arena like a puppet on

With thi s 40's ern toke on the moody gnngster suddenly In vogue (Kiss of Denth.

Reservoir Dogs). I guess thnt Harold Pinter decides he would throw n liulc ubsurdist dromn in the pot.

Daniel Powell In particular gives an excellent performance. He plays the confused and slightly naive Gus. who doesn't know if he wonts to continue his macabre line of work. His partner Ben (Joseph Powell). on the other hand. is suave and sure of himself; he scolds Gus for wasting time,

saying thnt he himself is always busy. even as he sits on his bed and rereads the newspaper for the hundredth time. Throw in a couple of very al>surd plot twists and an ending that will leave you shaking your heod and you have the formula for a twisted linle dmmn.

The second play was even stranger, but at least it was a comedy. The audience giggled uneasily when they didn' t understand what the hell was going on. The play wa~ called "The Bald Soprano" and was wriuen by Eugene Ionesco after he visited Lewis Carrol for a session in his opium den.

The cast consisted of six actors. four of whom wcur 1dcntic11I outfits and live in 3 looncy-lnnd that is a parody of middleAmerican life in Phoeni:t. Mr. and Mrs. Manin (Steve Ruppel and Michelle Cnrricr) can't even remember that they arc married.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith (0.J. Edminston and Kulynn Rnugh) can't even decide on the significMcc of the doorbell. The maid (Mary Tnylor) falls for the Fire Chief (u-ejn Junker) who tells jokes that nre so m~ssed up that even the wacked Smiths and Martins can't make heads or talls of them. Everyone in this play needs immediate psychological help.

The standout performance In this play is by the spirited Leeja Junker.

His lines are so twisted thnt T hnve no idea how he even memoriz.ed them; the words simply ha\'e no beating on each other. When he launched into his piece on the common cold. I was amazed as well ns confused.

If anyone ever views these plays be prepared for long stretches of total chaos. Absurdity can be ioterpretatcd in different ways, and this kind of absurd left me scratching my head.

Sentinel artist ·w ins national award; NIC teaches lessons in Life 101 looks toward cartooning future Goodbye. Nonh Idaho College! Hello, World! I am coming 10 discover wha1 you have 10 offer. I have three weeks before graduation 10 find wha1 I wnnt to do for the rest of my life. I hnvc been here three yenrs and I have changed my mind several times. And I nm right back 10 where I siarted from. not knowing what ! want to do.

I was si11ing here 1rying 10 figure out what 10 say io my fellow S1Uden1s in my final column in the N!C Sentinel. Then a friend said. "write about what you've learned abou1 yourself since you·ve been here."

My response was, "Yeah right. like I learned anything." Bui the more I thought nbou t it, the more I realired that I have learned a 101 abou t myself nnd whal I sho uld look forward 10 in the fmure.

First of all. I have learned 1ha1 I ca nn ot give a speech in fron1 of a classroom wi1hou1 hyperv entilnting but I can in terview the president of the Danie L 1:w is college and all of the deans for a Pont ifi(;l 1ion Sentinel sto ry without any ----·proble m. I have become more confid(nt Ir r , (!.elf a~ a journalist because of the continuous tas~ of interv rwing people. In high school. I wouldn' t be cau1,?hl 1Je,1J cit ,111g something so courageous.

I hove unfonunately lenrned 1h01 ii i)n·, ' Al,ut you do or how well you do it but who you arc and who you know that makes you successful.

I hnve learned that the cn:,icst thing 10 do and the hardest problem to soh•c 1s procrnstinotion. Being in college I ha,•e found 1hnt ovcn:oming procra~tinn1ion is n key 10 succeeding whether II te 10 graduate or 10 accomplish goals latrr on ofter entering 1he "real world."

I learned 1hot it Joc.~n·, mnucr if \l'C didn't knuw what we wanted 10 do with the res! of our lives in sixth grade bcc:1usc eight years Inter, there are many of us 1hm still don't know who, we want 10 Jo when we grow up. I really never understood why counselors and teacher) stnrtcd hnrnssing us about what we wont IO do when we grow up when we are so young and unsure about anything.

1l1erc hns been numerous stressors thnt I have hnd 10 face over the last few years ond 10 my surprise I have overcome "the impossible" many times and nm still olive 10 say I survived. I have no1 developed o drinking problem or e,•en srnrted smoking. so I must be doing something right.

But mo~, importantly, I hnvc learned that all one can do 10 succeed is to mkc risks. That is basically what life is about, pushing yourself 10 the extreme and the end knowing 1h01 you have occontplishcd )Omething you never thought possible.

Before I close I want 10 thank everyone that I hnve had the fortunate chnnce meeting. Both faculty and students, you have ull mode my Sl&y here more enJoynble. to be able to walk across campus and see your fritndly smile or hear your cheerful hello.

A special than~ 10 my ndviscr Nils Rosdnhl, who persuaded me into being on the Sen1,\ 1el. It gave me a belier undcrstondint of what to upcct ~ the real world. Although I ~caliz.c n_ow the experiences I have had here arc not rcal istically m tune, II has b.:en an experience I will never forget.
