Adm in istratien ponders solution to Hedlllrnd's continaing problems

by Sherry L. Adkins Se111i11el Reporter

Air quality in the Hedlund Vocational Center has forced the welding program off campus. but concerns remain undefined pending test results, according to Jerry Gee. dean of instruction. ln late December the NIC board of trustees voted to use S6.SOO in contingency funds 10 pay for nir quality testing of the building. Another S1.450 a month was approved for shop rentnl fees for the new welding site in the Coeur d'Alene Industrial Park west of Atlas Road.

Tests to determine primary metallic substnnces were done on Jan. 9 by the international engineering firm of CH2M-Hill. based in Sall Lake City. The welding program wa.~ moved due 10 the process of climinntion. Gee said.

"When the building first became n concern. the emphasis for fumes testing wns on the diesel nnd nuto body shops,'' Gee said. "When the results came bnck negative, the only thing we could make a correlation with was welding.''

The upper level of the building was closed In Mny of 1991 due 10 questionable air quality MOndards nnd reopened in the spring or 1994 following extensive rcnov,tlion,. The issue resurfaced in November and prompted the closure of several second-story classrooms when staff nnd students complained of a stuffy atmosphere and hcadachc~.Thc majority of faculty offices upstairs hove since been rcloca1ed on the lirst level.

In on cffon 10 provide nccuratc test results, welding instructor Milt Turley returned 10 the welding shop during semester break with several students in tow and fired up the machine~ for the last time in the familiar shop. nu: latest 1e~t results are expected bnck anytime but a solution mny require

additional funding and testing. Gee said.

"We will need to present options and their liscal impacts on the insti1u1ion," Gee said. "We may have 10 re-nllocmc the funds we have, and there is the possibility that we will need a magnitude of funding 10 present options:· Meanwhile, welding instructor Dnhl Dodge said he couldn 'l be happier nbout thi: new shop space his program hns acquired.

The new welding shop i, 6.000 squarc feet, twice the size of the Hedlund ~hop. nnd the location is more ndvantngcous to the 60 students involved in 1he welding program, according 10 Dodgi:.

The locotion of the shop m an industrial park makes it easier for students 10 visit ni:nrby machine shops ond hone 1he1r skills by scr.•ing imernships near the welding program. Dodge said.

Dodge said he doesn't dispute the validity of thc complaints involving his former ~hop. He said he agrees 1h01 someone unucou~tomcd 10 the smells that accompany n welding shop may notice fume, but it is not necessarily cause for olnrm. "l don· 1nouce the smells we create becau,c 1· vc been around them nil my life," Dodge said. 'Tm almost 100 percent \Ure thnt our shop wn.,n't c:ousing the problems."

Dodge s11id that r1:nova1ions 10 the old shop added plenty of suction blowers. but the millwright shop wa.s not equipped with as adequate a system nnd could hove been pan of the problem.

Ile added thnt he would like to see all the 1echn1cal progmm) moved to un off,campus site where they can shore a common environment similar 10 that of the workplace.

"I think the complaints are justifiable ond something need~ 10 be done about them," Dodge said.

"I think we need 10 be in n facility by ourselve!>.''

Two freshmen senators unable to make grade Low GPAs result in officers' removal from student government

by Rachel J. Williams N<'WS F.tlit(lr Two A~sociotcd Students of NIC freshmen ...:nntors were rchcvcd from their po~itiOn> recently duc 10 low grades.

According 10 Anicle IV, Sl>ction 2 of the ASNIC Constitution. officers :irc required 10 main1ain a cumulative grode pomt avcru).!e of 2.0 or above.

AccurdinE? 10 President Ry:in Higgins. Jake Flcischli and Brandie Gladish, the two of(icers released, were just

not ready for the n:sponsibilny of college and Mudent go\•ernment.

ASNIC Adviser Dean Bcnneu said. "Many students need this kind of knock on the head."

He added that ii 1s not unusual for n student 10 not receive a 2.0 conung into NIC. Benneu also said that this is the type of experience 1hn1was needed for the two students nwure of their need to belier manng,: their time. In the future, Bennen said he is confident that Flcischli and Gladish will imprO\C their performance and conlinuc 10 be active in ~tuden1 government.

Both could be eligible for offices next semester.

Higgins said.

"If they can bring their (cumulnth•c) GPAs up 10 2.0. they can run for sophomore senators in the foll." Higgins said.

According 10 Vice President Kris Stein, Fleischli plans to continue his activiues as a representative for various comminecs this semester and plans 10 run for oflicc in the fall semester.

Stein said that though Gladish still hol<h comminee representative posi1ion. her plans for future involvemenl in ASNJC are un~nown.

Higgins ~id he couldn't recall another situnuon where an officer had been let go ~ausc of unsatisfactory grades.

However, he said it is not uncommon for ASNIC 10 lose an officer due 10 personal problems or if they fail 10 re.'llizt the work that student government in~olvcmenl requires.

The ASl'flC board is currently looking for students 10 fill the vacant freshmen senator positions.

"II just blew me nw;1y that he could do that in the middle or the parking 101," she said.

"I kept on saying ·No' but he would not stop. He apotogil.td after he did it and kept on saying ' I' ve never done it before,'" she sa.id.

After the incident happened. from the advice or a friend, the alleged victim told her supervisor about the situation. He soid that all he could do wa.~ lire the su~pect and direct her to Joe Cheesman, the Aflirmati,·e Action officer on campu,. the alleged victim said.

Lindsay, after miking with the alleged victim and the suspect, said the two hud conflicting stories. TIie suspect, however, hod told him that he hnd heurd the alleged victim say "No,'' Lindsay said.

"If he told him (Lindsay) thut he heard me say "No," then he had raped me:· the alleged victim said.

The suspect was not lmmL'<lintcly fired or expelled from school, according 10 the nllcgcd ,•iciim. Instead, he dt.'<lided to drop ou1 or school. "'He dropped out If he hadn't he would still hove been in school,'' she said. "He go1 fired because or watching football at the wrong time. Not raping me."

Lindsay disagreed with her.

The suspect would not have been in school because "Ht! is too much of a risk to have here," Lindsay said.

However, the suspect was not expelled at the time because Lindsay said he felt that the alleged victim wanted to take her time.

"Ir I hod wanted 10 take time I would 001 have signed papers with Joe (Cheesman)," she said. ··Every day is a day 100 many."

Room 51 in the Seibert Building!

by Aoron W. NeviUs Se111i11el Reporter

The holes are patched.

According 10 physical plant Director Roger Brockhoff. the teaks in the Shoshone and Bonner rooms of in the Studenl Union Building were repaired.

The re-roofing of the SUB was scheduled to be completed before the beginning of Inst semester. but due 10 weather and other circumstances, the repairs were not complete until after the s1udents had atrcndy arrived ~ for classes. ~ McIntosh Roofing, the contrac1ors who ~ / I, handled the re-roofing, were not available / / , for comment on the $60.448 job that required additional repairs

All repairs were free of charge, which wns covered by the warranty included in McIntosh's contmc1 with the school.

The drips origina1cd from the coping on a watt and the sent around o roof drain which were improperly installed.

When the heavy rains of Idaho's warm winter chinook landed on the roof they seeped right through causing water damage and leaks in some rooms.

Brockhoff said he believes the push up in the finishing date and negligence in workmanship, combined with poor overseeing of the project, is probably wha1caused the job 10 be done so poorly.

"The workmanship was not what it should have been.'' said Brockhoff. :::.

Conservative Legislature could hamper funds college receives

by Do nic Lewis

Sentinel Reporter

he linal copy of 1he budget request 1h31 Presidcni Robcn Bennett presented in fronl of the Lcgisln1urc Thursday. Jan. 26. excluded originally pro;ec1ed expenses for the Fon Sherman Orlicel'\ Quaners. parking lots, architccturnl studies of NJC's armory and Lincoln Way propcnies, nsb~stos abatement nnd air conditioning for the gymna~ium ..

According to Bennett, when he prepared 1he budget last foll. he was more optimistic in respect 10 his request than he probably would have been if he would have known the results of the elections and the mood of the general public today.

Benneu said the mood of 1he Legislature. like the Congress, is pretty conser\'Bti,•c.

"Tht· request we put fonh we assumed would be comprc•mised because of the conservative ntti1udc of the Legislature and the country," Bennett said. "\Ve put the request together and there wa~ a I 3 or I 4 percent increase. The governor had recommended n I 0.3 percr.nt 1ncrcnse overall for Stale funding for the community colleges, which is probably the bc~t percent mcreas! of ony of 1he institutions of any of 1he higher education or K- I 2," Bcnncu said.

Only 42.5 percent of the colh:ge· s total budget comes from 1hc s1n1e, 38 percent comes from local property taxe~ and 16.5- I 7 percent comes from 1ui1ion :ind fees.

T

Oenncu said he hopes that the Joint -Finance Appropriations Commi11cc will ngree and suppon what 1he governor had recommended.

The request thnt Benne11 made 10 the Join1-Finnnce Commiuee was for more than what the go,•crnor had recommended because it represented what was originally put together la~, fall.

Bennett said he 1s not op1imis1ic 1h01 the college will get all that the governor had recommended nnd that much of the college's capital expenditures will be funded .

The governor has made it clear 1h01 all rec1ucs1~ for buildings will be denied because he is not ready nt thi~ 1ime 10 move 1oward new building~. Bennett said. enncu said he wonts to prei.erve 1hc local property tax m11lnge rate because wi1hou1 1ha1 it will be hard 10 meet any grow1h.

Additionally. the city of Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County are changing nnd con1inui11g to grow and the demands on 1hc college will continue to increase. Wi1hou1 any kind of increased budget. ii will be h:ird 10 accommodate.

Bennett said he is expecting some ~tnd of rai~c in funding over laM year.

"I believe that the mood of the coun1ry and the mood of the slate lcgi~lature 1s conservative. Therefore. I think thlll they nre going to \p.:nd u lot of 1inw with the governor'~ recommcnduuon ... I am jtm hopeful thnt they will ~uppon u1 lea~t what we arc a,king for and lucl..ily ,1 couple more 1hing,," B~n11e11 ~aid.

Along with counseling, the center hllS offered programs for ilS pnnicipants. TI1e primnry one is a six-week class titled "Project Re-enlly.'' This class teaches skills like building self-esteem, improving communication skills, finding community resources and balancing work .school nnd family.

Another program offered by the ccnrcr is "Getting in Gear," which is aimed at teaching women about oppom1J1ities in non-traditional fields of employment. The course is four weeks long and is resuicted 10 low-income women.

Haught. who has been with center for the past eight-nnda-hnlf years. says no si ngle CAperience stands out in her mind. ''The major thing that is really exciring about it is it"s real ly positive. We're about helping people realize what they can do," Haught said.

Around 400-500 people pass through the center's programs every year. according 10 Haught. and the criteria for judging the success of centers in helping them varies when different people look at the program. Al the end of the year. the center simply counts up the number of clients who have either returned to the workforce or school nnd gives that number to their sponsors.

The Idaho State Legislature was responding to the need 10 help displaced homemakers and single parents when ii created the network of six Centers for New Directions in Idaho. according 10 Carol Haught, dircc1or for the NJCbascd Center for New Direc1ions. "'Essentially our mission is to help our 1arge1population of displaced homemakers, single parents and teen parents become economicnlly self-sufficient," Haught said.

The live orher centers nre located in schools across Idaho: Lewis and Clark State College, Boise State University, ldnho S1a1e University. the College of Southern Idaho and Eastern Idaho Technical College.

The centers urc treated ns a regular college department wilhin the schools. The only major difference is where they get their funding.

One of the primnry ways that the center help individual clients is that it provides career counseling and pe.rs-0nal counseling. Haught said.

The amount of counseling provided varies on the needs of the client, Haught said, udd ing that sometimes a person may only come into the center for career counseling one or two times but rhcre arc people who need 10 come in more often for personal counseling.

Dundy spent eleve n ycnrs as nn English teacher at Lakeland Jr. High and Lakeland High School.

Eventually it reached a point where she was spending more time counseling than teaching, so this new job was a logical step, she said.

Bundy said 1ha1 the center is a really busy and interesting pince 10 work .

In February, Bundy said 1ha1she will be teaching a class direcred 10ward two-home families :urned at helping families communicn1e. and demonstrating how children prefer two-home families.

According to Bundy. studies have shown 1h01children do bencr if they have both parents to act as role models, and thnt children do not typically view the visiting parent as n parent. The progrum will use a vruiery of teaching methods and learning resources including ··strengthening Stepfomilies" from the ;\mcricnn Guidance Service.

Bundy said 1hn1 she 11ent 10 nil of the big high schools. middle schools nnd elementary schools and spoke with the counselors about the needs they were beginning 10 sec nppear in the community, adding that this is part of the center reaching out 10 meet the needs of people who may not come 10 the center. but may new help.

Firsi. collel,le is 1he pince 10 be open about all kinds of issues whe1hcr one agrees or disagret"s. In order 10 form an opinion. one needs to understand where the opposiuon stands. Theretorc, the Sentinel wns giving ,LS rt'aders a perspective of "lo, e" from a gay man.

S«ondly. the column h.is a theme thnt is shared by all reg.udle~s of sexual oriema11on. The imponance of the column lies on whut is trying 10 be communicated. not on the scAual onenrn1ion or the person that is tryinp 10 communicate. It is imponnnt to undcr..tand 1hat whether gay or heteroseAual. we all have foelings and standards we set. The column was basically abou1 a young man's )lnndard for companion~hip.

Funhem1ore. 1he ideas bclonp to the individuals 1ru11 wrote the columns and not to the Sen1rnel.

Also. the majorit) of the reactions 10 Erin Siemers'

columns were positive and most thought that they were in good taste. However. Seth Sievenpipe(s column was perceived ns berng pervened and in bad taste. The difference between 1he two columns lie~only 1111he people 1ba1 wroie them: one was he1eroscxual and the other homo$Cxual. Oth.!r than that, they both dealt with rdnl.ionslups. Why was Sicvcnpipe(s column mken as being pervened while Siemers· was taken n.s amusing'!

Could it be that homosc.xuals IIJ'\! perceived as being people that do not have any expectations in their rela1ionship,? We hope S1evcnp1per's column has broken some misconceptions abou1 gay relationshi~ The Sentinel take~ the freedom of speech seriously and thus doesn't believe in censorship. 1r1he ideas of the s1aff were 10 be censored, we would be left with a paper that could not relate 10 its readers, which migh1 result in a failure of communicating on serious issues.

Gay column: Reader expresses discontent Dear Sentinel Staff.

I was very di<oppointed when reading yet another "pcr..onal ad" wrinen ns nn editorial in a November i~~ue of the Sentind. I am 11rcd of rending about Erin S1cmc,-,.· loveless life in artich:~ such a, "Why aren't men like movie romancers'!" and Se1h Sievcnpipcr' s ~carcl1 for the perfect caring man in "Student dispenses wi1h gay myth." I do not 1hmk ortlcles like thc~c belong in our school ncw~poper. especially as editorials. Are you so mapped for subject mnuer tn 1he Sentinel that you arc reducing yourselves 10 a go\sip column? I

thought the school newspaper was supposed 10 relnte 10 the students; but what I see i\ the pnp<r relating 10 a very small pcrcenmge of the \tudcnts at NIC. The Sentinel has received various na11onul nwurd~ for its high qua li ty. It docs nOI appear that you are living up 10 these high ,tnndards; instead you nn: reducing 1hc paper 10 the level of 1l1e Notional Enquirer or The Stur. Mo,t people do not read the Enquirer for knowledge: they read it for a good laugh.

Subsequently, Jerry Nickles wrote 10 you 10 eitprcss his "shock and much unger'' about the siory.

In your response 10 Nickles, which. along with his lencr. wa~ nlso publi~hcd in The Sen1incl on Dec.9.1994, you Slated that you believed that the Mory was "inappropriate" and that your specific reaction 10 it would depend on the ou1come of a meeting wi1h Sievenpiper and 1hc newspaper advisor.

As a college fou ndation contribmor, I'm surpri~cd 1ha1 you· d try 10 bully more "nppropriatc'' writing in The Sentinel by threatening some un$pecified action dependent on 1he ouicome of n mec1ing with the wri1er. while touting U.S. Supreme Coun dcC'isions which you know pro1cc1s speech which is far more

innammaiory than Sievenpipcr's.

Whn1 wa.~n ·1appropriate :1bou1 Sievenpiper's story? In 11, he uses humor 10 prcscni the universal theme that ", .. ndvenising isn'11he way 10 find love. Bui persistence. and maybe a bit of divime intervention are." It lakes no great metch of 1he imagination 10 know lhnt the theme is true regardless of sexu:il orien1n1ion.

I found your "dissnti~faction" wilh the story to be bnndwagoni~m of the worst kind Rather than stand up 10 Nickles' baiting. you joined him and encouraged him. It's precisely Ifie kinds or speech with which someone disagrees that 1needs protection. not woodshcd->tyle meetings which nre intended 10 cunnil anything more provocative thnn weather repons.

Gay column: Sentinel staffer spoke for silent Dear Editor.

As an openly gny teen anending Lakeland High school, I appreciated 1he Seniiners continuing effon 10 address diversity issues rhat concern Nonh Idaho. The Sentinel ccnainly deserves the n.>cognition it has n:ceived year after year al 1he Associated Collcgiaie Press National Convention New Orleans. I am e.speci~lly pleased with the number of gay-positive columns that appear in many issues of the Sentinel. Se1h Sievcnpipcr's column in tlk! Friday. November 18 issue ("Student dispen,es wilh gay myrh") wn.~ refreshingly amusing nnd my supponivc heterosexual friends and I had o good laugh. Sicvcnpiper's column. along with previous olher gay posi1ivc anicies throughout rhe Sentinel help crcaic a \sense of solidarity and suppon for the gay youth of Nonh Idaho. Mruggling wi1hin 1hemselves and ngninsi ~ocicty's loathing of homosexuahty. A 1989 study by 1he U.S. Depnnmcnt of Health nnd Human Services. "Gay Mnle and Lesbian

Youth Suicide: Repon of lhe Secreiary's Task Force on Youlh Suicide," estimated thai up 10 30 percent of the completed yourh suicides are comm111ed by lesbian and gay youth annually. These once brcmhing and feeling human beings are rhe causality of society's hatred. However. from my own past experiences, I know that positive ponrayal of lesbians and gays through the media is an important fnctor in helping lesbian :md ga youlh cope with rhe ch:illenging issues and will evtntually eradicate homophobin.

I re:ilize that many conservn1ive members of the Sentinel readcr.;hip will pro1es1such libernl e~crcise of press freedom. but hope that t11, Sentinel continues 10 suppon itS writers. especially Seth Sievcnpiper. whose effons and leaden.hip have done much for rhe community. On the behalf of Nonh Idaho's silent gay youth, I applaud the Sentinel staff and our supponive community.

Leake's aspirations go beyond painting

by Melody Martz

Sentinel Reponer hen raising a large family. the house never seems big enough. A hubbub of ac1ivity can become the nonn. When all the kids grow up and leave home. that same house can seem to echo wi th deafening silence and become the loneliest place on earth.

Marianne Leake. now 57 years old, raised 10 children. When the last 1wo went off 10 Kansas to auend a private high school. she was left with no other children at home.

She felt displaced: suddenly no one needed her. That was IO years ago.

"II seems like I cried for the lirst five years,'' Marianne said.

But then she decided to change her situation. She s1ancd by coninc1ing the NlC Center for New Directions. She auended some commercial an classes and applied for and received a federal gram 10 be able 10 pursue the an career she had alway\ wanted.

Marianne had a background of painting o n her own. but ns she put ii, through NlC instruction. she began 10 discover what makes a good painting.

Marianne ha$ been auending NIC for 1hc las1 five years. takmg almost every an course offered. but she doesn't limit hmelf 10 just the pnintini; cln~,c,.

"Even in clay class we learned so much about whn1 make~beautiful on."

Marianne said. "I try 10 do something new as oflen as possible.''

An ins1ruc1or Lisa Lynes holds a very high opinion of Marianne.

"Marianne is equally 01home with painting mediums or sculptural mediums," 1aid Lynes. "She has always been a s1Uden1 who grows in her own personal aesthetic." Lynes said.

When Lynes presen1ed Marinnne with the opportunity of paiming a 400-square-fool mur:il for the new Srn1e of Idaho building, Mnrianne wonted 10 meet the challenge.

She had worked on 4x8 panels for a Coeur d'Alene company.

Design Events, as a pan of company theme panics. but she had never ancmp1ed anything on this large of a scale.

Lynes assured her of her abili1y, but I.here was something else 10 consider. Marianne was afraid of heights, and the platform she was 10 work from was 12 feet off the lobby floor, with ano1her scaffolding set up on 8-foo1ladders. Marianne is a petite 5-foot l 1/2 inches 1011. In relation 10 Mari anne's size, 1he project loomed before her. photo by Erin Siemers Marianne first thought she She's at home al school¡ Leake has mighl paint on panels or canvas and undertaken 8 variety of projects since instoll thcm on the walls. but she began to take art classes decided against it. at NtC five years ago.

"II never would have been o ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' permanent ins1alla1ion," Marianne

W

said, "and ii would never have achieved the continuity ii now has."

Marianne's husband. Jeremiah. o Coeur d'Alene building contractor, took her up on the plo1fonn. He guided her along 10 help her get n feel for the height without gelling nervous. Becoming comfortable al that height became extremely imponani as Marianne found herself scrambling up nnd down the ladders 001 only on the platform but all the wny down 10 the lobby floor.

She snid she needed 10 check the horizon line on the back wnll 3\ viewed from the person in the lobby as well a~ 10 make corrections in pcr~pcc1i vc, for such a large-scale painting. photo by Erin Siemers "each ~cc1io11 is n painting in Helping Hands-Marianne Leake 11sclf," Marinnnc said.

She csiablbhed the horiton a1 5 helps Richard Dunmck fn Usa Lynes' ceramics class . fee1 , just above her eye level standing on the pla1form. The rest of the wall is again os tall as she. extendi ng 25 fr.:1 wide. The side pan~ls of the murnl follow rhe slupe of the roof from IO feet tall 01 the back wall to 3 fcc:1 m the front of 1he lobby.

"I was able 10 do all this because l had learned enough from the variety orall my an classc~ ... said Marianne. "You acquire o sense of space, balance and proponion:¡ This semester sllll finds Marianne auending NIC and once again she i~ trying something new. However. this semester is different. This lime she is makan,g ii possible for someone else 10 learn.

Marianne and NIC s1uden1 Richard Dunnick arc a team on Monday nigh1s in Ceramics class. Richard is blind, but he does nut let his disability get in the way of his anistic aspirations. When Lynes asked Marianne 10 help out in class, she accep1ed. arianne has further aspirations of her own, but they are on hold for now.

She has five grandchildren. one of whom she takes care of during lhe day She would like 10 transfer 10 a four-year colleg.:. perhaps Gonaga when it adds its Fine Arts prugram.

In the meantime. she's still painting. She hns a ~mall studio area off her bedroom and she tries 10 paint every doy.

"My style is more interpretive 1hon realistic now." Marianne said. "I love 10 do scratch over oil sticks... you can get wild."

The walls of her home are decorated with a variety of her framed an work.

When asked if she would like to do a show, she brightentd. She has about 30 framed pieces in wo1crcolors. oils. charcoal and scrnich.

"I wouldn' t put in any of my old things," said Marian ne. 'Tve changed: I've learned 100 much."

~a escrv111ion Echoes" With Sbcmuul Alc~ie and Jim Boyd

Wt' City

February J-24

Amid 1hc sudden hush of 1he audience anti 1hc dim ligh1, 1he NIC produc1ion of Enid Bngnold's "The Chalk Garden" opened with qc1c1 air or crowded expec1a1ion. The closeness of 1hc nudicnce 10 1he "lhrusl'' srnge magnified the action lo higher proponions, beginning 1he piny wi1h nn obvious difference. Mognificn1ion or 1hc action 1hrough 1hc use of close proximily of the audience. surrounding 1he nctors in 1hree dis1inc1 sec1ion~ on 1hrcc of 1hc siages sides, seemed 10 cap1iva1c the audience quickly and seemed 10 hold 1heir auen1ion well through 1he climax or the third act.

The rcla1ionship and internc1ion bc1wccn 1he audience and 1he actors is critical 10 1hc qunlily of nny performance. said Dircc1or Tim Rarick. It was this more-closed s1agc si1ut11ion 1ha1 wns cenainly evident as nudiencc members reac1ed no1iccably to 1he rising and falling emotions. ''The audience gets the perfom1nnce 1hn1they de)crve," said Raricl.. of 1hc communication between the acmrs and the audience.

One annoying disadvnn1ugc or 1hc "1hrust'' Mnge for nudicncc members wns 1hc tendency in the firsl rows 10 get frcqucn1 close-ups or the ac1or· ;backsides. From the second and third tier or scn1ing 1he ,·icw improved. however. and 1he 1tadeoff was a uniquely differen1 pcrspcctiv.: of th,: action from one section to 1he next. One could watch 1he play several umes. each 11me producing n voslly differen1 ,•icw ,and 1herefore. experience.

This fact. when coupled wi1h 1hc innn1e propenics of change from one ni!lhl 10 the next a.~ actors linciunc. can create a number greatly differing effect5.

At lcns1 one 01hcr disndvnntage ,vonh mentioning wa.~ 1he difficult and '"ery limi1ed access provided by the "1hrus1" s1agc. During 1wo scpara1e ac1s member, or the audience were forced 10 walk across the stage only a few feel from 1he actors ns

they tried 10 leave 1he theater. ond for this very reason, no one wns admitted la1e. yet another inconvenience.

A~ for some of the other ndvanlllges. the strolegically placed "masks'' and "1easer drapes" reduced the overall site of the otherwise large proscenium sioge,. This crc.ited nol only o feeling of in1imacy wi1h the ac1ors bu1 also seemed 10 reduce the acous1ic area. improving the sound quality of the product ion as compared 10 the use of Boswell'~ full proscenium singe. where ~ound is often dis1oned or unevenly dislribu1cd to the audience.

I enjoyed the ingenious stage set up ond design. fack Green is a major asset 10 the success of this thenlcr dcpnnment. and I fell that all of the acto~ did a really fine job. In the third act I was cspeciolly fond of the level of real tension 1hnt Pamela Long sustained as the suddenly estranged grnndmothcr, Mrs. S1. Maugham The stammering old j udge, played by Homer Mason. was another fnvorite char:ic1er of mine,though I must admil 1ha1 I 1hought 1hn1 1hc best lines were those or Mrs. S1.

Mnugham·s manservant, Maitland, played by John Macpherson.

Li kc some 01her plays that I' vc reviewed her~ .it NIC. I 1hink thn1 1he wors1 aspect of this production was the choice of the play. Though it had its high points and a limited and somewhat dry sense of humor. I really didn't like 1his play. I wasn' t drawn into 1he plo1and I really had n hard lime idcn1ifying with the problems that these characters were faced with. Unlike "The lmponance of Being Eames1," :mother British play, this play hod no real historical or period appeal or the savvy wit or Oscar Wilde 10 back up the slow -moving plot. A5 a maner of appreciation for 1he 1heaier. a.\ an excellcn1 learning experience and a good bargain for any kmd of night out, I recommend 1his play-but be warned, there's no bed of rose) in ''The Chalk Garden."

The only way 1ha1 this movie foils is that 1herc is too much going on 10 give the viewing public a chunce to comprehend it all. We have 10 1hink about all of Malik s problems nnd also the problems of Kristen nnd Remy. If Singleton hod laken out an issue and jus1 focused on a couple or things, this movie would have been much easier for the uudicnce to unders1and.

The mu~ic was effec1 ivc because Singlc1on always used different types o music 10 rela1e 10 his chnrnctcrs. For eirnmplc, whenever Remy wns on screen, heavy metal was ploying, and when Malik or Fudge wa.\ on screen. he used rap or R and B music.
