Cruise calamities confuse correspondents "Dancing, music and drinking; that is the cruise."

--Ryan Higgins

by Kian cha Shadduck Stntilltl Rtportu Hagadone Hospicality security officers arc under fire from allegations by n Nonh Idaho College student that 'the frisking was out of conuol' during an Oct 7 boat cruise.

Nursing student Kody Wright feels thal his privacy was violated when he was forced to be frisked in order lO bonrd the Ulke Coeur d' Alene cruise.

"It w:is out of control," Wright sn1d. "Not only was there nothing before the ~ruise chat stated there was going to be a frisk, bu1 the people who demanded that I lei them

senrch me. did not tell me who 1hey were."

The 303 cruise goers at the Associated S1uden1s of NIC-sponsorcd event were subjecced 10 1he frisks 10 climinnte possessions of alcohol and weapons on The Coeur d'Alene.

"Security frisked people primarily 10 keep minors from bringing alcohol wich chem on the boa1," said Bob Tice, general manager of the Lake Coeur d' Alene cruises. "Our regular crew members should have all been in unifom1s."

However. Wrighl said, "There is no celling if they were employees of The Rcson, Hospicality or ASN1C." ''They should have been wenring name tags," Tice said.

Wright found another discrepancy with the 1icke1 13kcrs.

"Again, no iden1ilica1ion," Wrigh1, 23. snid. "II looked ns 1hough 1he group of people were standi ng around wailing for friends. Then a guy grabbed my arm and cold me to give him o ticket" Cruise goers then had 10 submit ID in

order 10 separate the drinkers from the non drinkers.

"Afler checking two pieces of my idencificntion. they marked me wich a slinky metal pen," Wright said. "On my hands were big permanent, purple stamps with green lines under chem."

Tice said minors have succeeded in drinking alcohol on pas1 ASNIC cruises.

This year, marking studencs hands made it easier 10 deccnnine who was allowed to drink.

"Bui 1h01 didn'1 see m to help," said N1C studenl Richard Marhews. "I henrd people 1alking about washing the marks off."

ASNIC Presiden1 Rynn Higgins said, "people were able 10 wash off the pen in 1he ba1hrooms and duplicace the scamp from ochers' hands. Fonunately. security people checked for faded s1amps as people exiled."

According 10 bancnder Robin Smich, The Reson gained an cs1ima1ed S1,200 from liquor sales during the 1wo hour crui~e.

Intoxicated or no1. at 1he end of lhe

cruise, students had to get off.

"You would hope that people would no1 drink and drive," said ASNJC Ac1ivi1ies Director Jesse Bagley. "But it is hnrd 10 scop anyone from making that decision."

Bagley said 1he cruise was successful this year because there were no ligh1s. no Compac1 Disks were damaged and no people rell overboard as wich pa~, cruises.

"I Chink ASNIC needs lo rethink n process for discouraging 1he illegal use or alcohol," said NIC President Robcn Bcnnell. "It could come down to someone having 10 assume the responsibility if illegal things continue to occur at NICrelatcd events."

"Dancing, music and drinking: 1ha1 is the cruise.'' said ASN IC President Rynn Higgins.

S1uden1 fees covered the cos! 10 chaner the cruise and catering 1hrough Hagadone Hospi101i1y. Chris Ley from After Dark DJ' d 1he event.

The ncx1 ASNIC cruise is scheduled for April.

Inland Northwest Blood Center conducts drive

by Klanlh11 Shadduck Se111i11el Rcporur Two Nonh ldllbo College s1uden1s died Wednesduy after their car collided head on with a ~mi truck on Nonhwest Bh·d.

The studencs were rushed 10 Kootenni Medical Cenier where they died due 10 n lock of available blood units.

Reality?

Although whn1 you just rend was ficcionnl, it could be you or your friends who ore nex1 in line for blood.

On Thursday. Oct, 27, thc Inland Northwe~1 Blood Cencer will conduct 3 blood drive located 31 the NlC Kootenai Room in the SUB between IO a.m. and 3 p.m. ''Every dny there are p;..'Ople needing blood c.ransfusions," S11id Jim Faucher, vice presiden1 or lhe Kootenai Medical Cencer.

But somccimes. there is no1 enough blood 10 save n life.

Approximately 4 million Americans need blood uun~fusions each year including vicums of accidenis, p:111ents undergoing surgery, c11J1Cer lICatment and other d ~ compri~ • "Blood donncions in 1hc Pacific Northwest ore at on all umc low," according to Ponlnnd. Ore. blood ceniers. ''There are usually 200 uni cs of blood on the shelves. but last week there were only 24 units

nvnilable to ~upply 1he need~ of the Coeur d' Alene and Spokane arens," said Coeur d' Alene branched lNBC Coordinator Libby Granier.

Only 24 blood units for 213,000 grcacer Spokane and Coeur d' Alene residcn1s. (Coeur d' Alene Convencion nnd Visicors Bureau 990 census.)

"One hour or your time and a pinl of your blood can save 1hc lives of lhrce people," Grnnier said.

1l1e IN'BC indicaccs that a pint of blood is cqu1vnlen110 n unit. Aduh mnlcs hove 12 pints of blood in their circulatory system. Females have nine pints.

"After n serious unuma, ii takes no time 01 nil for a person 10 loosen lot of blood," Foucher said.

N1C cheerlender Joy Russell will donace for his lir..t time on the 27th and believes II is a "humane thing to do."

"You never know when blood is going 10 be needed," Russell so.id. "It is in consrn.n1 demand."

As 1cchnolog,y exp:inds. the need for blood grows. ·11,e demand for blood is becoming greater," Granier said. "Medical facilities ore growing os hospilllls are able 10 serve more life thre:ucning

causes."

The INBC conduccs nine tests on donated blood before distributing the unics to 26 Inland Empire hospilllls. The series ofte<ilS dccermine blood type nnd RH faccor. Testing also accouncs for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Syphilis and the

mos1 common disease. Hepatitis.

With 1he risk of transmiuing diseases, mcdicnl facilities have devised cleaner and safer mechods of drawing blood.

"AIDS means death," said Kris Stein. vice presidem or the Associated Students of North Idaho College. "Bui I hnvc implicil faith in the blood bank and the way they handle things."

The INBC uses sterilized needles for ench blood donor. The needles are then disposed ofin 'bio hnznrd buckets.'

Anocher risk of donating blood are the physical after-affects.

"When you give blood, it can affect how you feel physically," snid N1C sprinter Doon McCall a.

However, he added, "people need blood and you ne"er know when you might need it."

With the help of ASN1C and the Idaho Nursing Srudenc Association. people who wish 10 donate will go through a four step process 10 determine their eligibilicy. The process takes an hour and co,·(~ an ornl health questionnaire, o physical ex:im. the blood donation, rest and refreshments.

'The accual blood donation only takes IO 10 t 5 minutes," Granier so.id.

The INBC ,s a nonprofil organiuuion "to mec1 the communities blood supply needs." The center was esUtblished in 1945.

By donating blood on the 27th... a student could be helping themsel\'es," S1ein said.

Very few sludcnls are from the Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls area, and lhe last thing a rape victim c>r family and friends of a rap¢ victim :ire thinking when IJiey :ve raped. or when they find out about the rope is, 'Gosh, let's look in lhe phone book and find out whnt a rape crisis hot-line number is.'

Since most community colleges don't hllve rape crisis centers, Hoffor fet>ls that this ls a v,:ry big st~ in lhe right dir~-ction for NIC.

He added that's one or the major goals behind the rape crisis ~ ler. Hoffet said rape victims need to be given III outlel if they are scam! or bun; they need lllpport to &et lhrought lhe initial crisis period.

Proposition I, !he "anti-guy in11intive.~ deals wilh limiting ma1crials which address homoscxualhy. These limiinllons are restricted to those under the age of 18.

Lawyers have infom1ed library worktrs that everylhing dealing wilh homosexualiry, condemning it or wrinen by homosexuals would be restricted, Carr Slnled.

The proposition "requires libraries 10 violate the f"rrs1 Amendment of the Constitution by denying minors their constitutional right to access m3lCrials." she added.

On campus, there ate 94 suxlents who ate Wltler the age of 18.

Currently in the library there ate Challenge Materials Fom1s available for anyone who is unhappy wilh an itcrm in the library, Carr said.

Libraries across the United Swes generally have a Challenge Materials Form, Carr said.

Accafding to Carr. the library has a responsibility to have materials to support somebody's inquiry on a topic Ind to have malaials on boll! sides of the question. If the initiative were to pl.\S. libnuy users would oo longer be able to judge books ~iog homosexuality for themselves. They would already be considered reslricled material.

Poles for security phones installed, phones delayed

by Leslie Titus Se111inel Reporter Sccuriiy phones are a ho1 issue on campus among NIC students. â&#x20AC;˘ Mike Halpern. associate director of campus safety. said that these security phones arc just n precaution.

"We are just trying to keep ahead of the current upraise in college crime statistics and focus on the prevention of any problems that might come about at NIC." hesald.

Halpern sald he is looking forward to the needed upgrade in security and is expecting the phones 10 be in operation by Nov. I. Halpern brought the idea of security phones to North Idaho after attending a security workshop at Boise Stnte University in the spring of 1993. Siit phones will be put on campus at an estimated cost of $6,000.

Hlllpem presented ASNIC with details about the phones and the overull benefits for each student.

ASNIC in tum gave Halpern enough money to pure~ four phones. The college provided the funds for the last two

phones and everything else including lights, wiring, heavy equipment, and other imponant 1ools.

The phone poles nre in place and different lights are being 1es1ed in orde.r 10 get everything operational Md perfected by Nov. I. The six phones are located near Winton Hall. the dorms, the nonh end of the library. in front of the Sherman Building, the east end of the Heduland Building. behind Kildow Hall and in front of the McLain Building.

The security phones will have bluestrobe-lights which can be easily spotted from across campus. The phones will be equipped with two options: One button will call 911 for all major emergencies and the other will dial campus security.

Security will be able to provide a various range of solutions to MY problem that may arise. Campus security can provide personal escons, gas, dead battery recharges and help change a Oat lire .

When asked bow students felt about the phones the general response appeared to be. ..lt is better to be safe than sorry!"

Going to college a big dose of reality Innocence isn't a L111gible enuty. .

When innocence is gone then: ~ 00 thrill in cha."ng ~rogs through mud or ca1chmg fireflies. Innocence ts the be<.t or times and pla~ing in the nun. innocence refuses lo watch as the triuer i~ pulled.

And how ca.\lly it is lo~t.

Tho><: of us who grew up in smJll 1ow ns and ~uburhs with ne> dri\(·h,· ,hooung~ ru-t lucky that INC m.i~ ha\ e prt~rvcd this du~1,e quality for~ long.

I behe,e. howe~er. tlmt putting awa} the security blanket 3Jld hendmg off to college is one or the b1ggcs1 d~ of reality a per~n is ever faced with. and reality kills innocence.

Shedding childhood lllld movmg onward toward adulthood 1s an mcnual pnn of evcl) well-adjusted life though it may be shocking in us brullllity Suddenly life isn't all about Friday night f00tball games and fairy tales Somehow huge responsibilities havt sneaked in nnd dechions :ire mode alone. without the benefit of parents.

Suddenly Mom and Dad nre geniu~s simply because they bal3J!Ccd the food bill and 51111 managed lo mnke ho11Se payments nnd cn, payments and handed out allowance on top of that. Suddenly the unforeseen realities of a cruel world rear their ugly heads.

For many of us, this is the first time we nre out on our own • and the vast implications of thi~ are just starting to hit home. A regulated homclife gives wny to the lifestyle of our own individulll choosing.

Decisions. right or wrong. aren't second-guessed. nnd con.sequences w-e dealt with. Take he.in. Mom and Dad will Slill probably ooil you out or jnil though.

College 1s the beginning of the real world and no matter wh:u, things will never be the same ogllin. Homemwns will tum mto i.ad, wistful memories. The wonder and surprise or that first heanbreaking kiss will give way to the responsibilf1ies or love. Fim snows won't be beautiful anymore because they will mean expensive heat bills and snow tires. From now on the family home will be a place to visit, not a destination.

The way I look at it. life is a series or sh!ps and the goal is never in sight. Things are lost along the way and things are 11aincd. Hean.\ are brokt'n and then crazy-glued back together ~gain. Goals are met. and some fall lllong the wayside to taunt you as you climb. The reality i~ thllt steps can never be rclrnced ond eventually evl!rything held socrcd will fo.11 away as your cxpc,:tations differ from Ul())C in your youth The glorious innocence of childhood will be stripped away like an old suit and replaced with today's version of that same suit.

Life is 11 ~es or Steps and wc just took a huge one on our climb to the top. Innocence is lost and maturity is gained.

With rights come responsibilities Everybody has rights. Our U.S. Constitution guarantees them and helps u.\ 10 retain nnd enforce them.

These days. most people seem to be very educated on what their rights nre. Rights nren 't just the freedom lo do whatever you want. With rights come responsibilities.

What responsibilities?

Well. the responsibility to excersise those rights in a decent, responsible manner.

Sure. students in the dorms might feel they have the right 10 blast their stereos n.~ loud as possible as long as it·s prior to "quiet hours" right? But what about all the otl1cr students who can't even think straight because all they can henr is "BOOM BOOM BOOM. Badda BOOM! Badda BOOM'" · Obviously. these people care a whole lot about their own rights, but don't cnre nbout anybody else·s. Along with realizing that it's n person's responsibility 10 respect 01hers' rights as well as their own comes maturity.

Not to pick on people who play their stereos loud but whnt°s the answer when people complain to them and ask them why they play the music so loud?

"Because I like it nnd because I can," would be a common response. There· s more to rights thnn doing things just because you can.

Tnkc for instll/1ce the president of the United States.

He has got a lot or power. ofter all, he is in charge: of our country But we remember that he was elected by us to serve us and he doesn ·1 just make any deci\ion without, hopefully. thin~ing about us. the American people.

Sure. under law, he has the right lo do a lot of things, but in nowloing whlltever he wants he places the entire

counuy's righlS above his own because his concern is for others. not only himselr.

It's too bad iluu some. maybe most, Americans seem so concerned with their own personal rights that they don't even appear to notice that !hey are not the only people on the planet.

Don't misunderstand.People should be concerned about their rights and be knowledgeable on them, bu1 Americans need 10 cut the "me me me" syndrome and uy not to be so wrapped up in what happens to "me me me" that they forget about people around them.

Having personal rights isn't an excuse or a ticket to ignore everyone else's. It's the same principle as murdering someone. Sure, the killer may feel he had the right because he didn •1like that person, but our rights not only protect us, but they protect other people from us and vice-versa.

Rights are nor merely for the purpose of allow10g us lO run wild with our own concepts of how life should be, but attempting to paint a picture of how everyone's lives should bl! together.

So go ahead and annoy everyone around you, but be aware that though you exercise your rights. you violate everyone else's and it's their right to annoy you, 100.

Yes. your neighbors may think 1hey have the nght to blare their Lawrence Welk records as loud as they ~-an regardless of ho,1 many times you complain :ind coll the police. If you can't handle it, crank your Nine Inch Nails to the top.

Bet they would tum Law,rence down. but then again. mllybc they wouldn't Well, it's their right.

Parking: Halpern defends new plans To the Edi1or.

I would like 10 address 1he commenls of Nils Rosdnhl.

Dr. Bennen was no1 lr)'ing 10 hide 1he issue of a parking 101 al the soccer field from 1he srnff as you suggest There are blueprinis drawn up $0 we can begin formulallng ideas for parkinti, bul noihing has been decided.

I, 100. would hale 10 sec 1he soccer field disappear. howe\'er. NIC canno1 expand pas1 Hubbard Strccl or River Avenue. As for using the baseball field for parking, where do we gain any beucr access in and ou1 of campus by moving parking a couple hundred feet nonhwest of 1he soccer field? Besides. I like baseball on campus and thal field offers more value recreaiionally for NIC nnd the Coeur d'Alene community lhan the soccer field. lfil is done righ1. a nice ceniml mall wi1h parking could be accomplished lhDl would no1 impair 1he safety of pedesuians.

Idaho Fores! lndusuics has provided us wi1h propcny. at no cos1, 10 park NIC vehicles. TI1cy helped us develop parking. paved Hubbard S1rec1 10 elimina1e dus1pollu1ion and pu1 in new landscaping along Rosenberry Drive. TI1is was done 01 a cost of many 1housands of dollars 10 1hc mill. TI1ey also have helped us many winicrs w11h snow removal on our parking lo1s. We in 1urn allow the mill employees 1he use of 15 spaces by 1he campus safely office ns pnn of a good neighbor policy. I do 001 know whal land Mr. Rosdnhl would like us 10 lease from lhc mill, bul saying 1hc mill workers are 100 Jozy 10 walk probably won'1 gel lhe job done.

As far ns lack of available parking, !here are on average of 92 empty spaces be1ween 1he hours of 8 a.m. 10 2 p.m.. nonh of the library, including Hubbard and River Avenue. By the way, I like 1he remodeled buildings.

Proposition 1: Vote Cruise: NIC student 'yes' for the children questions security To the Edilor.

Please vo1e yes on Proposition I. S1ories tha1 s1a1e employees would be fired under 1his proposition for their priva1e sexual habits is untrue. This proposi1ion is conslitu1ional because ii backs equal s1a1us. Ac1ually, to give homosexuals minority s1a1us is discrimina1ory 1oward SIJllights. This proposi1ion seeks 10 s1op the push for gay minori1y s1a1us and legal san1e-sex marriage, which would allow adoplion and possible sexual abuse of kids (both of the above would open up a can of worms and pu1 more money in lawycr:s pocke1s.)

Proposilion I nixes promo1ing homosexual lifes1yles including transvestitism 10 kids in lhe public schools and libraries bu1 does no1 ban any books. It nixes using Idaho stale funds (our loxes) 10 push homosexual lifestyles down our 1hroats and those of our children, bu1 would no11D.ke Constilutional rights away from !hem. If passes. ldnho slate funds could nol be used to auack Proposiiion I. ~pecially fonhe kids. vole yes on Proposition I.

To the Editor.

I would like it 10 be publicly known thni I will never spend my money on another ASNIC cruise or even!. I am appalled by the 1olal lack of communic1nion oboul 1his ycw·s cruise. I knew nolhing of the exi.ensives..'Curity procedures I would have 10 endure before boarding n,e CQe11rd'Ale11e las1 Friday nigh!: A frisk by unidentified individuals on the dock. a defensive line of rude 1icke1 lllkers (nlso no visual or verbal clues ns 10 who !hey were). a pair of overly lhorough ID checkers armed with pcm1anen1 ink sUlJllps nnd pens!

I am no1 an overly sensitive, podium-pounding s1uden1 Intent on whipping this issue imo a political frenzy.

Howe\•cr, 1 would nccepl any public answer 10 my quesiions? Who wns in charge of the cruise? Who were the people thai searched us so in1ently? Why are lhese securi1y procedures 1ough on college studenlS bu1 not pre.,;cn1 m nny other cruise (irouble las1 year)? If lhese silua1ions nre explained 10 me I will consider going on next ye.it's cruise.

Student blames low voter turnout on confusion Every year around eleclion lime you can be assured of hearing all !he begs and pleads of'fV newscasters who wnn1 you to gel oul and rcgis1er 10 vote due 10 low voter 1umou1 yw after year. and of candida1es who remind you of rcgiSU'8lion while 1clling you why they are the bes! candidn1e.

I decided 10 go down 10 1he counhousc and gc1 rcpjs1ered for this year's clec1ion. Registration was actual ly a preny smooth experience.

The registrar at the counhouse !hanked me when I wns finished regis1ering and gave me a - - -- - -- sample ballo1 10 go over before I came b,,ck 10 vote on Nov. 8.

After I gol home and found 11 few spare minuics. r decided 10 read through the sample ballo1 so lhni I knew wlul1 I would be voting for in jll~l a few weeks.

When 1 was done looking through the brochure, I hnd 10 wonder why I had wnsled my 1ime regis1cring earlier Ihm doy.

The fm;l scc1ion of the romplc ballo1 was ok. The only problem I noiiced was thnl I had never heard of half the people running for election. Call me old-fashioned or maybe cri1irol, bul before I cas1my vo1e, I would like 10 know something aboul the people whom I'm elcc1ing. I really don'l wan110 know the candidaies' entire life s1ory, bu1 a li1tle informntion would do, like, lei's say-their names!

Then the ballol moves imo the consti1u1ional amcndmen1~.

I jus1 wonder whc.re the people who wro1c these things wen! 10 college. They defini1ely didn'1 anend North Idaho College.

This mny be a small communi1y t'Ollege, bul I'm sure the English 1eachen. here are compc1en1in leaching proper grammar.

When I fus1 sUUted wri1ing for newspapers a few years ago, I was always 1old 10 wri1e my stories so !hot a 1hirdgrader could unders1and 1hem. Well, I think the nulhors of these consli1ulional amendmcnlS should Lake the sam~ advice.

Rape lecture: Conference focus was on education, not athletes

Still bloomin'

Cl-tokEcl-t ERRi ES

To the Editor: I would like 10 respond 10 "Athletes attend rape lecture." an article on Page 14 of the Sept. 30 issue of the Sentinel.

Overall. the anicle was a posi1ive dcpic1ion or the educational effons directed toward student a1hlctes.

However, the article referred 10 me stating that 'The {rape) conference was aimed toward athlc1es because the group has been a cause of a 101 of problems in the pas1," which wrongly depictS my views and actual inten1 of 1he rape conference.

In shon, the conference was slricily an educational opponuniry aimed at a specific and captive audience. Any "problems" that may have been associated with cenain

''The frost hasn't killed 'em yet!"

We know these Chokecherries appear awfully big and dlfflcull lo digest, bul gh c them 3 chance. We promise you'll gag ~ith nil the bitterness.

a Quite a stir has been foll regarding the supposed patting.down and se:irching prior to boarding Tht Coeur d'Jlll'nt during the ASNJC cruise. One NIC student blntandy objecicd to lhe nlkged grabbing or hls, uh, "packnge" nnd dc~nnds lhat. in lhe fu1ure, be be w:irned prior to the inciden1 so he can be prepared for 11 or choose to nor panicip:ue. . . .

S1udent John Myers, when quesrioned aboul lhe sean:hmg. srud, yes, he fell a bll ,iolated by the rather ptrsonal touching of his otherwise private parts. ..It's been quite a while since a woman has touched me there," Myers said.

"But, I kinda liked it."

Maybe students llke him should be charged eX1 ra nexl time.

"Attack or the Killer Gnats!"

These little bugg(rs might appear harmless in little droves, but not in the huge swarms they buu IIJ"Ound in. This should end to the mysrery of why studcntS are frequently seen hurrying across the ground not saying a word to each olher, but inst~. pursing their mouths stubbornly shut and squinting their eyes against the onslaugh1 of insectS. Can't say we blnrne them. Gnats don't really taste that great and numerous balls of swarming gnats flying straight at a person's head can be pretty intimidating.

On the positive side. a gigantic bundle or moving bup does look rather in1eresting when silhouetted m the evening sun.

Guess we could blame the fact that NJC is si1ua1ed right by the lake or possibly it's just the fault oftbt ratl hatch, known as the "bug-boom!"

Our advice? Carry a can or bug spray and aggressively attack the balls of gnatS. or if you don't want to harm our lhtle winged friends, call National Gcogniphic and get a team of photographers out here 10 do a feature on the "rare and protected swnrnplnnds of North Idaho College with the noi.so-rarc North Idaho gnat swarms" or just grin and bear It But remember this, until Jock Frost murders them for good, don 'I grin too big or you migh1 be picking bugs out of your lttlh.

He called a mee1ing of lhc club members 10 discuss the problem, but, unfonunatcly, no one showcd up so no plWI of action has been decided.

Spring elections: Senator Walter 1,

demands retraction for old 'errors' To lhe Editor: The Sentinel has reported in past issues incom:ct lnfonnalion concerning the 1994 spring ASNIC election. This infonnation included false accusations conccming the validity of my petition for sophomore senator.

In lhe spring of 1994, l decided to run for the position of ASNIC presideni. I renliud there were three other people running for president and there was still a senate position open. I made the decision to change the position I was running for from president to senator.

This nll occurred before petitions were due.

I went to the 1994 Election Committee and asked what proper procedure would be in this situation.

The chairperson for lhe 1994 Election Comminee, Eric Nielsen. explained I would need to write a lener explaining my situation and submit it 10 the commince who would vo1e on whether or not to accept the changes.

The comminee voted to accept my request to run for sophomore senruor, unanimously. I asked the comminee if I needed to fill out a whole new position and they told me they

would accept my original petition. I did so and ran for the third sophomore senate seat (with ASNIC) and won.

Thetc was never o lellet of reprimand sent

10 me concerning my petition or my list of qualifications. Both articles were turned in complc1cd and on time. In the final article of the Sentinel for 1993-1994, this infonnruion was incorrectly reported by two Sentinel reponers. Michelle Schwend and Jeff Jeske, simultaneously reported that I "altered my petition," giving it an illegnl connooulon. I called Nils Rosdahl, the Sentinel adviser. to try and clear things up and was brushed off.

I called Jeff Jeske and was told that "Newspapers rarely give retractions" and "You tui,-e.to be someone renlly impormnt in oroer 10 get a retraction printed," I have worked at The Coeur d' Alene Press in the past and know that retractions are primed quite frequently.

I am asking that the NIC Se.ntinel prints a retraetion for the incorrect information primed in the May 12 and Se.pt. 30 issues of the paper.

Sincerely, Jessica L Walter, Sophomore Senaior

This Oscar Wilde classic, se1in Victorian times, chronicles the lives and compticotions or the so-called high-minded upper cln.ss or a seemingly pious society.

The piny' s best humor comes from !he complicmion~ arising from 1hc vnrious characters nucmpts 10 appear godly while pursuing !heir own secret, and sometimes unchnstc. agendas.

The re., uh is an incredible farce based on o series of near misScS and miscommunicntions.

One line is right after ano!her h makes you want lo hMen more 10 the dialogue lhan (actuall)') wntch tile play."

Some other notable difference,, between !his 1111d some o!her plays is the detailed costume preparauon required when a production is set in the Victorian Age. Theatre Dcpanmem Cos1umer Donna Ward, said ~he's bcen preparing for and researching the producuon since mid-summer.

The Black Hole Vonex would only steal my hair bands. pen~. pencils. an occasional stray sock nnd thumbtack. But. recently. The Black Hole Vonex has been whisking nway lnrger, more imponnnt items.

I've lost my daily planner. checkbook. geology book. dO\·ers license. student ID card and numerous compact disk cases {some of the disks still inside).

At first I thought some monnl being was stcali ng from me. but since I wn so annl nbout keeping my car nnd house locked. and conMantly keep my belongings in order, I know that is not the Rachel J. Williams c3SC. his-the fauh of The Olaak Pontification Hole Vonex.

Do you understand what the Voncx is1 II is some invislble. immortlll. hollow, evll thing that thrives on stealing items from us. ll wonts us 10 think ii \\C nn: going crazy I believe it wns crea1cd accidentally by the original in,cn1ors of rubberband$.

They knew 1h01 1hough their invention was ingenious. soon e,·eryonc would have enough rubberbands to lasi unt il the end of time and 1hcy would eventually go out of business.

So they had one of 1heir company geniuses create the Black Hole Vonex to follow rubberband purchasers and whisk the rubberbands away when the owners of the company felt they needed higher sales.

And we, like laboratory mice, were to run back to the office supply and buy another package of rubberbnnds. Out. after the Voncit was created, it gained awareness of itself and began sucking away other things. much to the rubberband executives' chagrin.

Now that we know the Vonex exists, we need to know where h's suishing all these items.

It is obviously not anywhere on thi$ planet or we would have found lhcm by now.

11·, my belief 1h:11 1hc Voncx uses space as its dumping grounds. We all know things do not just disappear; they have to go somewhere.

Tbmfore, I think there arc big piles of"lost" junk scattered over one of the unexplored planets, like Pluto.

Someday. hundreds of years from now. we will be planting colonies on Pluto and one of the cameras will spot a huge pile of stuff. Upon closer observation, lhcy will see that all of it belongs 10 Rachel J. Williams. or course, by lhcn our scientists would have discovered how the Vonu works and either brought it under control or destroyed it altogether. Until then. hang on to your belongings folks because you never know whon somethlng's going to vanish forever.

In fac:t.....now, where did my pen go?

ASNIC promotes another laugh

held in Bos"'ell Hull Sept. 30 1s ii could have been great II could ha,e, that is, if nnyone would ha\'e shown up.

Only an c~1ima1ed 130 people came to the event, mos1 of whom were older aduhs and very few of which were NIC students.

However, e, en wilh the wcnk showing. the comedians did come through.

First upon lhe three-man bill was J.P. Linde. who not only did his own routine, but also acted as the emcee for the night. J.P. hns 1rnveled all over the country ond has appeared on Comedy Central.

He was pretty funny. but struggled with lhe crowd participation. or which there was none.

Next up was Mntt Reidy. who was probably the most cntenaining comedian or the night. His on-stage antics left the crowd in sli1chcs for most of his set.

Reidy has appeared on MTV as well as n number of other notable appearances.

The finnl comedian of the night was Deiroit's own Mike Orenstein.

Orenstein wns n little more lnid back lhan Mnu, and also struggled wilh an un-enthusiustic crowd. Oren~tein has appeared on Evening at lhc hnprov as well :is olher television appearances.

All three of the comedians did a good job con~idering the cin.-umslllnces. ll's a shame lhere wasn't a larger 1umou1. bcca~e lhi\ could hnve been a successful eveni for ASN!C.

Symphony to feature Mozart, Beethoven

by Jason M. Burke Se111i11el Reporter

The Nonh ldruto College Symphony On:hestra will feature Mo1.rut and Beelhoven in 1he upcoming concen at Boswell Hall Auditorium.

The concen will include Mozart's ''Symphony No. 38-Praguc." ''Tedesco" perfonned by Guitarist Ma11hew Smith, and Beethoven's "'Symphony No. 7."

Todd Snyder, who will conduct the orcheslJ'll, Sillies classical music "refers to a ctnnin time in history;· and shouldn't be confused wilh folk music. Mozart and Beethoven represent this time period.

Snyder said Mozan is known as the "supreme genius in music."

According to Snyder. Mowt's life was completely within the c:IIISSical era. The 41 pieces Mo1.a11 wrote express refinement, order and clority.

Snyder nlso added that the pieces are very "concise, precise and complete."

Beethoven, of the same lime period, is different.

Snyder said that Beethoven's pieces have "anger that just bursts out of his spirit!" He said Beethoven used "louder louds" and "softer softs."

Snyder further explained tha1 through Beethoven's nine pieces. his diversity could go from unstructured 10 structured and back again.

'They understood human existence. That's why they're great," Snyder said. He also said that Sa1urdny's show will be a "great study of geniuses.''

If given one word to associate with each musician.

Snydt!r would use the word "supreme'' with Mozart. and "depth" with Beethoven.

Also scheduled to pctfonn will be guilllris1 Matthew Smith. Smith, an NIC instructor, will perfonn ''fedesco.''

Snyder commented that this piece "is son of rte<Klassical." Snyder praised Smith's abilities and said that ''Tede$co" will be "pyro-tecluucal," meaning full of fireworu.

The NJC Symphony Orchestra will perfonn this celebration of music. Snyder commented that they have focused heavily on refinement.

The orchestra "has continued to grow with every conmt." he said. ''Our audience desen-es this program," he added.

The concert will be on Saturday at 8 p.m.

General admission is S5 adults. S3 seniors. and NJC staff and students with ID will be admined free.

Big names, big explosions top bad script in 'The Specialist'

by Phnedrn Berg S1mti11el Reporter

Big names, big explosions, bad script. Such n destription can. for 1hc most pnn. sum up whu1 "The Specialist" has 10 offer.

Former CIA eJ1plosi ves expen turned mercenary-for-hire Ray Quick (played by Sylvester S1nlfone) is the classic sexy mole character who lives a troubled, lonely life haunted by a painful pnst.

Approached by the equally sexy, troubled. lonely woman May Munro {Shnron Stone). Ray is propositioned 10 pick oIT three members of Miami's Cubnn mafia, the cold-blooded killers of Munro's parents.

Quick' sold partner Ned Trent (James Woods) plnys ii up os lite aniagonist out for revenge over a ruined career. Trent's selfrighteous outrage is ponrayed perfectly by Woods' in-your-face improvisational style of acting.

Likewise, S1one's performance is of a much higher caliber than that of the movie itself. She does nn appropriate job of consistcndy looking Uke hell for the duration of the movie.

Other than these two, the only other performance wonh mentioning is that of Timer, the stray Clll adopted by Quick.

More strikes than games

&A

It is 3 spans fan's worst nightmare come true. Two of the four

major leagues lulve gone on strike and another is looming in the diswnce. Chnos is in effect as the armchair fan has to sit through an entire football game without nipping a single channel during corrunericals 10 watch the baseball or hockey game. Wives ore compltlining bec3USC their husb3nds arc frequenting the refrigerator for beer more due 10 the Imm~ number of commercials during a game of pigskin.

Major Jc;igue baseball has declared its season officially under the CilrpCt after players nnd owners bickered over 11 contract and the salary cap issue. Hockey postponed its season for two weeks because of the same problems. B!l.5ketbnll, ''God's gift 10 ~ns." even thought about striking until Commissioner David Stem stepped in and said there wi 11 be no strike regardless of the federal coun·s decision on the bargnimng agreement.

Baseball players are saying. "What's a commissionerT Baseball's lack of a real commissioner did not help in Cody Raithel negotiations with the players' Opinion t1SSOCiation. Hockey has son of a commissioner, but he kind of lets the NHLPA push him around n lot.

I am sure you arc "ondcring why has football not gone on stnke lately? That's n good question, considering 1ha1 the NFL has a minimal player salary considerably lower than that of the three other pro spon.s. And once again we use the word Commish. Baseball was once king, but after two strikes in 23 seasons they have fallen off the mighty pedestal. For a "hile it looked as though Basketball would take the reigns. but if they cannot resolve the bargaining agreemen t and the players' wish 10 abolish the draft may lock its doors midway through the season. Hockey, which is currently on strike, was making a steady up-swing in popularity. but now has 10 fall back 10 the bouom. Football is once again on the rise after maki ng changes 10 improve the game including the 1wo,poin1 conversion. No strikes are expected in the future.

But 10 me the most ironic thing about having 1wo pro spons on strike at the same time (which has never happened before) is 1ha1 also at the same time General Motors (GM) was on strike after workers claimed that they were being overworked. The workers said GM was increasing the number of cars on the assembly line, causing the workers 10 have 10 work ovenime. Imagine baseball players on strike because they were working too hard. HA! What a joke.

I realize that the strikes are not just about money. Wade Boggs, a New York Yankees third baseman, says he is striking on the grounds or principles. He doesn' t want 10 be pushed around by the owners. You' re the man Wade.

I also have 10 say this 10 all the owners out there: "Hey, Buddy, you're not losing money," Actually players have a 10110 lose like Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles who stands to lose his mark on becoming the greatest iron man of a.II time. If Cal does not return at the stan of next season his streak of most games played will be terminated, leaving Lou Gehrig all alone once again. Mau Willi runs was on pace 10 break Roger Maris' record of 61 dingers in a season.

So all fans can. do is watch football (God forbid) and pray that the ~BA does not stnke. I would like 10 tip my hat 10 the GM workers 1n ~troll who made us all realiu what it really means 10 strike.

Un11l the professional athletes can come 10 me and say we are being under- paid and working 100 hard, I don't want 10 here the Sword (strike).

Oftentimes the captain also has 10 get some or the younger players more involved. I'm more of an on coun lender, whereas Can1i (Moffat) is more vocal off the coun than me. It's a big responsibility because we represent the team.

Q: How do you gouge your team 's chances lhls yeor?

Palmer. Well, we have a very good team with some outstanding athletes. The league looks preny strong this year, so we will have our work cut out for us, but I think we arc slJl!ling to come together ns a team.

Everyone on the team loves 10 play and just getting out the.re and having fun is what it's all about.

Q:U you bod to name the one Wgbllght or your ca reer, what would ii be?

Palmer. I would have 10 say that bellting Ricks at photo by Erin Siemers home earlier this year was probably the best feeling I Up, Up and Away-Sophomore Beth Palmer Is have had so far as a player.

Women's basketball gains lost experience Greg Crimp returns to NIC after five-year break to coach Lady Cardinals

by Cheyenne Mahncke Stntintl Rtponer Greg Crimp. Nonh Idaho College's new women's b.uke1ball coach. is an amiable family man whose love of the game shines through when he talks about his team.

"I've always loved cooching,''Crimp said. "For me the thrill of victory "ill always be there."

Crimp is :t familiar face on campus as he returns to th~ helm of the Lady Cardinals for his second stint as coach ai NIC. Crimp coached the team from 1979 10 1989. bu1 was forced to give up his duties because or an expanding family.

"In '891 had 1win daughters and I found that I couldn't balance coaching and family," Crimp said. "Success on the basketball coun takes a lot or time."

Wilh hi~ twin daughters heading off to their first yenr of public school, Crimp tlt:eided to rc,ume the mantle of head coach, which was vacated by OeH:iven Hill las1 year.

Another factor that contributed 10 his decision was that he could no longer coach his step-daughter, Lindsey Herber,. since she will be a freshman at Lake City High School and will panicipate in the spons programs oCfered there. Crimp had coached Lindsey for three years as she panicipatcd in youth leagues and AAU basketball at the middle school level.

Basketball has been one of Crimp's passions since his teenage years where he played for Coeur d'Alene High School After lc11ering for three years as a Viking, Crimp played one year of freshman basketball at the University of Oregon.

Cri mp's original tenure as NlC's women's bnsketb.tll cooch began in 1979. Prior to this, his only cooching experience was wi1h middle school boys. Lack of experience WlUn't n problem. however, as his teams had an almost 65 percent winning percentage during his IO years nt 1he helm. Crimp credits a lot of this success 10 Vic Woodwnrd who co-coached the Cardinals along with Crimp from 1983-89. Woodward, also decided to pursue other options after Lhe '89 season and now coaches girl's high school basketball in Friday Harbor. Wash.

Asked abou1 his highlight as a coach. Crimp knew exactly which win that was.

"It was definitely when we bear Ulllh Valley and won regionals on our own home noor in '86," Crimp said. ''Coming into the game Ulllh Valley was undefeated ond ranked second in lhc nation. Needless to say, Lhat was a huge win for our program."

Crimp is excited about his team's chances during the upcoming 1994-95 campaign. He knows his team is very young with not much experience returning.

"We have several untested freshmen who an: going 10 have to step it up for us," Crimp said. "I can't comp= them to any other teams because I don't know wh3t the league is like this yenr. Right now they de.serve on A for hard work. There are also several volleyball playm who will help us out when their season ends."

Crimp resides in Coeur d'Alene with his wife Shana. photo by Miehe/le Schwend their twin daughters Caitlin and Karin, and his stepWelcome-Greg Crimps Is the new NIC women's daughter, Lindsey Herbert. baskelba/1 coach.

Small business pro ram g ves t 0

e photo by Feksdu Klros Don Friis helps three bu};iness students with thefr classwork.

by Danie Lewis / Stn1intl Rtporttr To be your own boss, 10 order people around just for lhe heck of it and 10 take as long of a lunch hour as you feel like taking arc just few of lhe wonderful nspeclS of owning your own business. Just kidding. But really there are several rensons 10 start your own business. lbere are 57 studcnis in the progrnm lhis semester trying 10 learn how to make their dream of owning their own business come true.

The small business management progmm here is lhe perfect way 10 gain some knowledge if this may be the career for you. Maybe there is a , - - - - - - - - - , student on campus that just cannot decide what he or she wnnts "life is 10 do with the rest of his or her life. TI1cy hnvc taken clnsses CORSfQn/ here for Osemester Or IWO or maybe they arc freshmen and haven't found the perfect niche. Well mnybe lhis program is change, for them .. They can mnke whatever they enjoy their career and learning to maybe open the first business In that hobby or interest.

Don Friis, business instructor, with bachelors degree be flexible in marketing and business, said 'The best reason 10 own but learning one's business is that he or she would be se!r-employcd., total autonomoy. But that really is kind of a myth because you work who we for the employee, the bank and the vendors who supply the goods. But there is the sa1isfnc1ion of self.fulfillment and are." satisfying a dream. But there is always n bad side 10 every --Don Friis good side, so the bad side to owning ones own business is that ' - - - - - - - - - - - ' some people did not realize how much time was involved, all the clements 10 know and understand about business and lack of finances."

Feris said, "People do not realize the problems that may occur with having 10 get the payroll done every month and any other financial problems that may occur. Friis C3J11C to North Idaho in 198S after owning a Montgomery Ward Store for live years in Powell, Wyo. '7o be a good business owner, one needs to be independent, a visualizer. be creative. sclf~isciplined and self-motivated. He or she needs to have a sense of pride, good ethics, community loyalty. purpose in life and be affinnatlve," Friis said.

In Friis' 24 YW'S of teaching. the small business management program curriculum hns changed by having the S1Uden1S be more interactive with real businesses and implementing willl real businesses, he said.

Twenty-two years ago. Marvin Fanner introduced the business program into the academic field rather lhan the vocational lield that it had been categorized into prior.

The job marke1 in small business management is relative. There arc three categories that studenlS fall into after receiving their A.A.S they either go on to further their edueation atâ&#x20AC;˘ four.year college, work for someone else's business or stan their own

a

businw.

There are three basic businesses that studenlS tend 10 s1111, said Friis, they either start a relail SIOre willl hard goods and soft goods, retail in service or industry in light manuflClllring. But there are marketing conditions 10 start a new type or business.

Income for owning one's business usually ranges from S18,000-S30,000 with a two year degree.

Students who are interested in owning their own business need 10 have the desire 10

learn what the business is about; lhcy need 10 be interested and focused. Friis said. They need 10 know what their options nre caree.r-wisc. They need to know that a way to get consumers is to make them aware of what the business is doing.

The procedures to be followed by potential business owners nre the following: they can possibly borrow 65 percent or lhe cost from sma.11 business admissions (SOA) 10 start their business and they usually need 30-3S percent collateral. Anyone is eligible to start a business if they arc 18 years of age, hove financial stntemencs wrinen. a business pion Md forecast written up before going 10 the bank. The age is not necessary if the person has a co.signe.r. The legislation is helping to encourage women and minorities 10 start their own businesses. Gmnis, funding and contracts can assist businesses that arc controlled by women and minorities ¡ DEC (Delta Epsilon Chi) is a national business assoclntion for college students with career objec:liv~ in marketing, merchandising or management. The purpose of DEC is to enhance the value of education in marketing, merchandising and management which will contribute 10 the occupational competence and 10 promote understanding and appreciation for 1he responsibilities of citizenship in our free, competitive enterprise system.

It develops le:idership abilities, an understanding of the free enterprise system. grente.r proficiency in communication, self confidence and self esteem. lhe highest ethical standards in pcrson:il and business relationships, occupmionnl competencies necessary 10 succeed in marketing, mCJChandising and management CMeers, an appreciation of the responsibilities of citizenship, 11 healthy, career-oriented, competitive spirit and social. civic and business responsibility.

There nrc several areas where 11 member cnn panicipatc in DEC. At local. state and national levels there arc fundraising projeccs; employer-employee banquet; serving on the board or directors 01 a local chapter: serving as local officer: participation in workshops, conferences, state officer campaigning nnd elections. delegate sessions and other management-oriented activities.

A member could possibly enter several competitive to events that range from advertising campaign to fashion a merchandising to sales promotion plan. This year the NIC chapter will be pnnicipating and assisting in the following activities: ASNlC Adopt-A-Highway program, NlC Bookstore; window displays and sales floor assistanis, Small Business Development Center, ASNlC Blood Drive.

--Don Friis North Idaho District Conference and CDA Chamber of Commerce.

Several people have started their own business without a degree in band and others may be wondering why waste two yw-s getting a degree when you can just go ahead and start one. Education is the ability or opportunity to make mistakes lha1 don't cost anything. It gives you the chance to explore opponunities and ideas available beforehand. Education helps develop critical thinking and problem solving; it gives the soon-te>-be entrepreneur hand on experience 10 handle chaJlenges easily and so the comfort level rises in the future.

It can help us lind ourselves and explore interpefSOnal communication, careers and cope indepcodenlly.

"Life is a constant change, !urning 10 be flexible but !urning who we are." Friis said.

"Tobe a good business owner, one needs be

independent, visualker, be creative,"
