Proposition 1.controversy Yes: Prevent gay legal minority status Dear Sentinel Edi1or: Eve.ry p,:rson in this counlf)' is guaramced equnl pro1ection under law. This includes pro1ec1ion ogain.~1 distriminntion and personal violence based on sexual preference. However. we must diMingui~h be1wecn illegal violence agains1 individuals. and appropriate restrictions placed upon the open prac1icc of homosexuali1y. This pnnciplc is whal Proposi1ion I affirms.

Na1ional iny pohtical ac1ivis1S are seeking 10 acquire 1he special legnl minori1y swtus which has been won by !rue minori1ies. Gay ac1h•ists intend 10 wri1c things imo low like: gay hiring quo1as. the rcpcnl of ~odomy lows ond srn1e sancuoned homosexual "manfagcs."

True legal minori1ics have inhcrcm quoli1ies like racen notional origin and physic:il disability. A legal minority should 001 be defined by voluniary behavior or sexual preforencc. The goal of Proposi1ion I is 10 prcvcn1 this, while mninmining equal pro1ec1ion under law for all people.

OpponcnlS say thn1 compliance with the proposition would cause a burden on public in.1ti1utlons, like libraries.

These claims diven p,:opk's ancmion from the real issue; the issue of public health. Mnny of 1he in1ima1e prac1icc.~ of homosexunls are medically infec1ious beyond description.

The more :1dven1urous 1h01 homosexual prac1icc becomes. the more likely ii is 1hn1 h~pcli1us. n.-cial gonorrhen, shigcllosis nnd similar maladies will be sprend.

The 1ragic explosion of AlDS in the gny communi1y is proof of this fncL The spread of 01esc diseases mcnns. not only more people a1 risk. but everyone· s health imuroncc coslS, nnd public 1lll( burdens, will rise. Indeed, there shouldbe concern about ~U"Cs~ on 1hc b11.sic ins1i1u1ions of society. Society canno1 afford 10 sanc1ion 1his type of high· risk behn,•ior by awarding special minorily s1a1U~.

The goal of the guy poli1icnl agenda is 10 gradually ob1ain societal approval for wtuu is ullimnicly a dcs1ruc1ive lifestyle. !Proposition I is intended 10 prc\'cnl homosexual practices from b.:ing endorsed by law.

Sincerely.

No: Don't limit access to info Dear Editor: I believe Proposition I opposes Idahoans· rights 10 think independently. It violotcs 1he First Amendment of the United Srntes Constitution by threatening our freedom to decide what we and our children rend. sec and hear.

As an employee of thi s college's library, I spend much of my time making information und literature of all sons available to students. staff and the public. I don·1 only hond patrons the information I know of on a given topic. but I try 10 disseminate general methods and strategies for locating information in libraries nod elsewhere. I do this because I believe access 10 the fullest possible spec1rum of information is vital for all individuals within our society, regardless of age or any other characteristic. I don· 1 believe that my time or any other taxpayer-funded employee·s time should be spent policing, preventing or limiting anyone·s access to publicly funded information sources. In addition to the basic ethical objections 10 the proposition. there is sound budgetary

motivation for letting individuals decide for themselves. If Proposition I passes, the Idaho Library Association hlls estimated that it will cost Idaho taxpayers at least S14 million initially as well as $12 million per year just to bring public libraries into compliance.

Idaho can do its citizens no service by attempting 10 bar access to ideas. Because we live inn diverse society, there arc and always will be many opinions and perspectives which differ from and connict with each other. Access to a full, uncensored cross section of materials allows us 10 mnke informed decisions nnd then arive al our own opinions.

We mus1 allow each other to judge independently and find individual ans\\ers.

The answers others hond to us or auempt to limit us with by selective censorship of the alternatives will never be satisfnctory by themselves. Stand up for the rights 10 access information freely and to think independently. Vote no on Proposition I. Sincerely, Bob Nelson

Yes: Prohibit gay marriages To the &thor.

I often tell friends thnt do not know where Coeur d'Alene is. lhnt it is Goers country. Even though I am not a native. I love Coeur d. Alene and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. But it breaks my henn 10 see events in Coeur d. Alene such as a homosexual retn:al that teaches youth in the area that homosexuality is ..acceptable."

I would like 10 send a message 10 you all: If the community someday unfonunatcly accepts this behavior. Jesus Christ will not.

I urge all voters in the area 10 vote for

Proposition I and do not let the opposition lead you with false propoganda. This initintive is about not granting minority status to homosexuals: it·s about not teaching this lifcstyle in our school~ 10 the children; il is about not allowing homosexuals 10 marry legally.

Did you know that the homosexuals hnvc an agenda they want lo push through the legislniure! We have to protect ourselves and most imponantly our children from this.

Vote yes for Proposition I. Damon DJ.rakjy, former NfC student

No: Taxpayers will be robbed Dear Ednor.

Idaho vot~r.. please tal.e note' Recen1ly the Colorado Supreme Coun sU1Jck down Amendment 2, the statc·s 1992 an11-gay legmlation. It " ill not become law.

However, in the meanwhile. Colorodo has lost S-10.120 million in convention nnd touri~m revenue. Lll.cwise. se1eraI million in taxpayers· money has been spent on litigiuion costs. All of this expense 10 determine what was already known, that anti-gay legislation is unconstitutional.

1•iola1ing equal prote.:tion clauses in the U.S. and state constitutions.

Idaho· s Proposition I is even more insidious that Colorado's Amendment.

bcca~c its proposed library provision would legislate what Idaho citizens read, sec and hear. Idaho's Anomey General. in a wriuen opinion, Slllles th.!t "this ~weeping. content-based re~tricuon on a minor's First Amendment rightS 10 receive information and ideas violates the Coru.tituuon and i1 in,alid." Candid.itt:> for the position of Attorney General. a.~ well as all of Idaho's Congressmen and Senators. agsee.

Proposition I is clearly unconstnulionnl and "'Ould rob the Idaho taxpayer.. millions of dollars needed for 11 healthy economy.

Confidence is all it takes for Cardinals 1r anybody ha~n·t noticed, the NJC athletic season is well under wuy with cross coun1ry 3nd volleyball nearing their end while baskctt>nll and wrdtfing arc heading foll steam into the beginning or their ,cosons.

Bret Taylor has fed his volleyball team through many victoncs and n fow los_,,:;. here and there.

No longer just for the physically gifted

Rock climbing becomes sport for all by l\l ichellc Schwend

most people climb. their mind, body and spirit are oil in it. ''The reason I climb is because I like the challenge of it," Thompson said. "OrJcc you get to the top, there's o thrill in succeeding a climb like tha1."

He said another reason why he loves to climb is because it's such a focus spon.

"Everything you've got has to be put into the climb." Thompson said.

Local stores also offer individual or group instruction 10 beginners. The Great Escape, located in Coeur d'Alene, provides information on local guides and places 10 climb according 10 abi lity.

People arc now saying "I con" when it comes to the spon of rock climbing. Climbing is no longer reguluied 10 1hose who arc physically gifted or to those who get a rush off dangerous silua1ions.

Pree cli mbing siancd in the late 1950s, and ns time passed. people s1aned looking for harder routes and harder challenges. ''The hard challenge was 10 try and climb a rou1e without using anything but your hands nod feet in order to make your way up the rock," NIC student and rock climber Chris Thompson said.

Indoor and outdoor spon climbing, which involves rarely climbing anything over I00 feet, has become the most popular in receni years.

Lady Cards lead season wHh intensity

by Cheyenne Mohnt>kc Senri11tl Reporter The North Idaho College women's basketball team hopes to improve on last year' s 14- win, 14- loss record. and first· year head coach Greg Crimp views this as a reasonable and reachable goal.

"Our practices have been very intense," Crimp said. "We have very good team paril)'. and this lends for some very competith•c practice time. 11 has been great for so early in the season."

Three players who staned nt various times on last year's squad return-.Stephanie Suter. Brandy Ross aod Michelle Greenwood.

'They arc very good perimeter players with n variety of placci; tl1ey can play on the coun," Crimp said.

Crimp said he plans on giving the more experienced sophomore players on the team

considerably more playing ti me carlly in the year. but utilizing all lhe freshen ns the year progresses. The point guard posi tion. however. will probably be handed either 10 freshmno Aundie Howenon from Juliaena or Becky Russell of Kuna, Idaho.

"Both Aundie ond Becky have improved a lot si nce practice started.'' Crimp :said.

"Both of them will give us some quality playing time."

Other standouts have includt.'<I sophomore shooting guard Rebecca Tolin, who has shown "great improvement," according to Crimp, and sophomore Julie Wilkins, who can play either the one or three spot in Crimp's offense.

Another added bonus will be the: addition of Greenwood. Cami Moffat and Beth Palmer off the volleyball team. This will be Greenwood's second year on the baskctba.11 team. but the first year for both Palmer and

Moffnt. Palmer prepped m Post Falls High School. where she was a standout in volleyball, track and basketball. Moffat was o muhi-spon stnr at Coeur d'Alene.

"Michelle is already a proven pcrfonner. ond Beth and Cami will be great additions," Crimp said.

The game plan for Crimp·s squad will revolve around superior board play and cohesive teamwork. According to Crimp. rebounding will dcllnitely be a strong point in their games.

The Cardinals boast live players on the squad listed at 6-fool or taller. That includes Suter at 6-foot-4 and Jelcna Zmic nt 6-fOOI· 5.

"Our height will be o big asset," Crimp said.

Las1 year's women's winner in the Scenic West Athletic Conference was Utah Valley. ond they return the nucleus of 1hn1

squad. ''Utah Valley never seems to rebuild after a successful season like they had last year." Crimp said. "Instead they just reload."

Crimp snid he doesn't know much about the rest of the hmgue because that this is his first year back at the helm of the program. ofter a JO-year stint from 1979-89. He said he i~ wary of Ricks College, however, ns they changed coaches during the offseason and look 10 be a well balanced club.

Another team that looks strong is the College of Southern Idaho.

"CSI will hnve a very strong shot at the title.'' Crimp said. 'They have a lot of speed and quickness."

The Lady Cards open their season with a scrimmage against LCSC on Nov. 3 and their first home grunc is against Cruroll College on Nov. 13.

"We have quality wrestler's, and quality students," Owen said.

Wilde's 'witty' show opens to small audience hy Christopher Clancy Sentinel Reporter Oscnr Wilde's ''The lmponnnce of Being earnest," the long awaited NlC Theater Depanmcnt presentation opened Oct. 27 10 mjxed reviews and a prclly limited audience.

Although the , piny was wiuy.

ITheater Revae~

in,ellec,ual and ~often wonderfully sarcastic-much of Wilde's 19th century humor wns lost on a 20th century audience.

The production was great and most of the players did an admirable job when they (with a few exceptions) weren't choking on l11eir Kevin Costner-csque English accents. No need to name names.

The set was excellent. Kudos 10 Jack Green, Roxy ond Memories for providing an authentic looking set. TIie live piano between acts wns n nice oddil.ion and the costumes were also quite stupendous thanks to Donna Ward, Cookie Conces and Christina Voltoloni.

All in all lhe environment was ns authentic as one can expect 10 see on such a limited budget.

Yet. for "one of the most famous comedies of all time." I expected to hear a lot more laughter. II wasn't the delivery of the lines. some lack of clarity or in any way the actors fault. People just didn't seem 10 think l11e humor was r.:ally all that humorous.

It just isn't 20th century American comedy. h isn' t even

_

20th century Briti~!i comedy.

How can web~ expected 10 relate?

Anyone who says they can relate is either a history teacher, literature teacher, an elderly person or a liar.

About the bes, any of us can really do with this kind of material is 10 chuckle enough 10 keep the actorsfrom feeling at a totnl loss.

This isn't to say that there wa.s no humor nt all.

There were a few rather hilarious examples. such as the scene in which Algernon is greedily devouring a tray of muflins as he "erbally spars with Jack about the ethical consequences of his "bun burying" (10 lind out the meaning of this and other titallating vocnbulnry go see the play).

The audience can relate 10 this kind or very visual humor, but the subtle nuances or 19th century England nre just 100 far removed for most of us 10 do Wilde any justice.

And, as for "one of the most famous cases of mistaken

identity," what can I say except that like many classic authors Oscar Wilde was on innovator and, unfonunntcly for us. innovative people nrc often imi1n1ed.

An episode of"Three's Company" followed roughly the same son of plot only Jock was pretending 10 be gay not earnest or something like that.

This play was a museum exhibit A sp...-ctncle which when taken from the original soript (as this one is) is most valuable 10 ponray a period of history and not necessarily 10 daule a modem audience.

Worst of all. however. is that hardly nnyone showed.

There might have been a hundred or so but I wouldn' t guess there to be 100 many mor.:. I hnd expected n much belier tum out on an opening night.

Wns there a big game on that I didn '1 hear about or do people JUSI prefer channel surfing 10 the theater?

It's sad to think that people would rather watch television, or piny video games wheo ther,: is a live production on their ,ery own campus.

You might as well support your theater depnnment and give this play n chance. AOer oil there is really no substitute for a live perfom1ance no muller how musty the script is.

The show is s1ill running tonight, Friday nnd Snturdny in Boswell HCIII. Ticket prices nre S5 adults, S3 se niors and SI students.

NIC students are odmincd frte with their ID cord.

Small children will not be odmiued to the show at the request of the director.

by Cori Flowers Stntintl Reporttr

"Tonight I om going to tell you how 10 write a book called 'Pocket Girdles nnd other Confessions of a Nonhwest Farm Girl."'

And so sh.: did.

Actually. Mrs. Love wa.\ someone I looked up 10 and sought 10 emulate.

After hearing her stories about moil theft my best friend and I headed up the road one dark night 10 follow in her illustrious footsteps.

I believe that I now own the girdle lhat she said gave her so much grief throughout her junior high and high school years (second-hand store novelty item).

Love decided to write her book two years ago. She chose lo write it because she thought her childhood experiences were spceial. Love hoped her humor would

Mental Health training opens doors for many careers Program enables people to help those who are mentally, emotionally ill

by Danie Lewis SMtinel Reponu Studcnis who are interested in working with individuals who are mentally ill. cmo1ionolly ill or dcvclopmcntnlly dis:ibled may find the Mental Health field a possible career opponuni1y.

The "menrnl heohh technician i rogram" stoned at NIC in 1hc foll of 1992 after being changed from psychiatric nursing.

The mcnrnl hcohh technician program 1s designed 10 lfOm s1udcnis for direct core po~itions. working with individuals who arc menially ill, emotionally ill or developmcnrnlly disabled. said Susan Hill Crowely.

The curriculum includes basic college cour~cwork such as English. psychology. sociology and intcrpersonnl communication Speciali1ed mentnl health technician like cou rse~ addressing human problems 1h01 result in si1ua1ionnl or dcvelopmenml such as family abu~c. lo~s of significant other. work onJ heJhh ore al~n in the curriculum.

Menial di,ordc~ including mcnrnl rc1ardn1ion. eating d1~on!ers, schiwphrcn1a, d~prc~sion. monio. ,ubsinnce abuse. pcrsonalhy disorder~ and anx1c1y disorder~ arc also dis<:US(l'd.

Clinical c~pcricnce a.,~1~1s students 10 develop basic

Imagine.... the world has been shrunk to the size of a gymnasium, its 5 billion people condensed to a room full of players ...

Many are crowded and poor...

Few are rich and powerful. ..

skills in communication and in terviewing techniques. establish helping relationships, assess mental and social status design and implement therapeutic puucnt group activities and manage problematic behaviors such as anger. manipulation, compulsiveness, dependence, self awareness. Ethical and legal issues are also addressed. according 10 the NIC course catalog.

Crowley. Coordinator of allied health programs. got into tbe mental health field because out of all of her nursing education. she liked this field the most. Crowley ulso teaches nursing and pharmacy.

'This was one field 1h01 I could find out more about the patient, it cut the clement shon with other fields of nursing;• Crowley said.

The program is allowing for more academic courses and less vocational ones for easier access for trnnsferring if the student wishes 10 transfer.

A crisis intervention course and more introduction classes have been added which arc open 10 all students not just mentol health students. These courses allow a student 10 do some career shadowing and research 10 decide if this career is actually 1he ri gh1field for them.

The first five Mudcnts 10 be in the menrnl health technician program arc graduating in December, two of them ,lfe working currently in the field.

Tite practicum for this program gives the student~ a real lmnd~-on approuch 10 what is in store for them in the future. Some of the places studcni s have interned in the pa~t huve been: Sacred Hean. En,tcrn State llosp,ial.

Kootenai Mcu1cal Center, Pinc Crc\l Ilospi1.1l Jnd community placements such a~ St. Vincent Dcl'aul.

After completing the program and receiving either their AAS degree or cenificate, they can usually find entry level employment or a paraprofessional position under a licensed registered nurse, counselor, or social worker. But if the student wants 10 transfer, of going to LCSC and receiving their BA in social work is on option.

Twelve students are enrolled in the program this semester and the reason Crowley thinks students choose the mental health field is because "there is a sl!ong desire to be helpful and there is the curiosity on what makes people tick. there is on appreciation of human problems that con be related 10 their own experiences."

Services 10 the mentally disabled have changed in the biological pieces of mental illness and the drugs and 1te:nmen1s that arc being used.

"The philosophy of the program is assisting people to be more self-sufficient and independent, not 10 depend on 01hers as much, 'how can we help you help yourself'?'

011i1udc;· Crowley said.

Students can either receive on A.A.S in mental health or their menta l health technician cenifico1c. The difference between the two is 1h01 the AAS degree i~ the AAS generic type of degree assisting client, in them community in arcns from homelcssne\s to ou1rc;1ch work to day care. The degree 1s more socio I service problem oriented than the ccnificnic. The mcntnl health ccrufo:ute provides skills in as~cS\intz and helping (X'Oplc ,,uh mental and emotional disoblhties. it is morl' on the mental medical oriented side of the two.

All of them are trying to solve their problems.

And that's just the beginning ...

The number of srudcnlS who are physically challenged has continued to increase on lhe Norlh Idaho College campus.

Physical impa.irmcnl is becoming less inhibiting 10 prospective s,udcnts a.~ access 10 =pu~ foC'ili1ies is con1inually being upg,ndcd. The renova1ion 10 Lee Hall nnd the Leaming Ccnler will ndd 10 several improvements already in place.

Richard and John Dunnick are iden1ical 1wins 1ha1 lind lhe small NIC campus very much to 1hcir liking. Richard and John wcrc born premo1ure and due 10 complico1ions from lack of oxyien, have been blind since birlh. Originally from Morgon Hill, Calif.. Ill~ twins now mnke their home on lhc Rathdrum prairie with tl1eir parents Mr. nod Mrs. Ivon Dunnick ond their b;:rd of Norwcigen Fjord horses, which 1hcy raise.

The twin~ were "main~trenmcd" at age 12 in10 tlic California public school sys1cm. They later moved to Coeur d' Altnc nnd groduatl'd from high school in June of '93.

Rkhard is in his second semester 01 NIC. John is in his lir.,t :.cmcs,cr.

"I really apprccin1e lhc size of 1he campus n1 NIC." Richard said. ·'I have been able 10 memorize the areas I move around in. I haven't been in 1he Hedlund building or Seiler Hall. I will have 10 wonder over there and sec what !hey ore like. I am glrul they moved the planl5 from the smirwell in Boswell Hall, I was afraid I was going 10 knock 1hcm over.''

Richard ls majoring in music and communiaitions. He said he enjoys meeting people and be has developed n number of acquaintonccs on 1he campus. He said lhai people are very friend Iy and somclimcs they provide help when he doesn' 1 need it. A classmate was guiding him from Boswell Hall to the SUB. As lhcy approached lhe fronl doors of Boswell Hall, Richard abrup1ly turned left. The guide yelled a wnming !hat Richnrd was about 10 crash into lhe wall. " l run just going into 1hc restroom," Rkh:ird informed his comrade. "I won't need any help in there."

"I was in my junior ycnr of high school ond one teacher won1cd me 10 do an oral repon after watching '200 I. A Space Odysscy.'' 1lia1 was o real joke. There arc some lhings lha1I don't do real well ... parallel park and baskelball," Richard said, laughing.

When asked obou1 any improvement\ tl1at could be made 10 1.he cnmpus thai would aid blind studenl5 Richard quickly answered "Braille classroom numbers and leners on the n:str00ms. I would be able 10 feel lhe numbers to sec if I was nt the right room nnd as far as the res1rooms well,.."

The requirements of physically challenged s1udcnts are as varied as the students lhemsclves. Larry FOrre51 is a firth semester business major ,vho lind.~ his wny nround campu., wilh the nid of o motont.ed whcclchnir. A moiortycle accident resulted in Larry susirunlng a crushed pelvis nnd mo1or nerve dnmagc affecting his ann~ nnd hands.

"I was an active guy nnd enjoyed the fre,.'<lom of movemcn1, especially on my mo1orcycl.." Larry volunu.-en,'d, "f 10!.t tlmt freedom and found my~lf confined. I om a fighter, nntl when I was told I would never walk again, I wouldn'1 lis1c11. I cnn walk very shon diMnnce.~ now but I can walk."

Form;! wa~ asked whltt Improvements he would like 10 sec rnndc on the campus 10 occommotlo1e Mudents lhai use wheelchairs. He said thni NIC is one of lhe most accessible nreas he has come up a11ain~1.

111C' campus has really mode many unprovcmcnts in 1he last couple of years: P..1tking pla('es for the handlrapp..'<l hU\'C impro,•ed in bo1h locntion nnd numbers. The ou1oma1ic door openers were a major improvement. The c:irnpu.( as a whole is real DCCC~~ible.

He said 1hn1 he fl'lt lha1 !ht- mainiennnce depannicm did a good job with lhc snow removal and ke.1ping lhe rumps clean.

Some of the incline angles cause bot1om1ng-ou1 problems, but olhcr than that !here were fow problem, He "dS concerned ab<lut lhe rcnovouon of lhe Leaming Cen1cr and the pon.able da.~~rooms.
