by J ustin Smith Prod11ctio11 Manager On Feb 10. the Registration Advisory Commince met 10 hear arguments about the early registration of athletes and 01hcr student groups. Two Sentinel studen1s were briskly expelled from Ille meeting by Presiden1 Bob Bcnncn shonly after being seated by the Dean of Students, David Lindsay. who permiucd I.hem to enter and said "All our meeting are open." In a later interview, Benneu explained "I wanted this 10 be as open a discussion as possible." When he was asked if 1hc desired discussion had taken pince. Bennen said llla1 he did no1 know because he left before Ille debate began. A package wns prepared for members of the Registration Advisory Commiuce that contained the minu1cs of the Dec 8.1994, Faculty Assembly meeting, a lener from Fay Wright 10 the staff, faculty and adminis1r:11ion. a lener 10 the interviewees, and ma1crial from Rolly Williams and Jonn Brognn. According 10 Bennen, the three faculty members who represented the groups registering early were Barbara Dennen. who represented the vocational s1uden1s. Joann Brogan, who represented lhc nursing students. Rolly Williams. who represen1ed the aihletes. Benncn said thn1 he did nut know specifically who was there 10 represent students, and said lltat he thought 1he student representative had been appointed, and 1h01 he did believe 1ha1 the s1uden1 showed up ror 1he mcc1ing. Dennen said 1hu1 is why he was not ~ure ir the 1wo reponc~ were there to represent the studcms or the paper. In a lener addressed to Karen S1ree1cr. the NIC Rcgiwar. Williams justified con1inuing the prncticc of by s1:i1ing 1h01 "We have asked these young men and women 10 join our program, and it would seem logical 1h01 we try 10 ensure s1udent/n1hle1cs success
by giving lllem some consideration regarding llleir class schedules." WilIiams also said that the athletics depanmcnt's advising and registration program expedites Ille reg.istration of oll other students by removing athletes from the competition for rcgis1ration times. In the leuer Williams said that system of group advising and mentoring has vinually eliminated the physical panicipation of athletes in the registruLion process, which is o go:il of telephone or computer rcgis1ra1ion. In the lencr. Williams included these rmionnle as reasons 1h01 the prac1icc of regis1ering athle1es early should continue: I)Space ond lime constraints: practice times mus1 be struc1ured around P.E. classes, rood service in the student union. mandatory study hall. three teams using the gym Ooor. intramurnls, different spon~; 2)Tronsfcr requirements for a1hle1es are specific: J)Rules that require athletes to carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester 10 begin nnd mainmin eligibility: 4)Mos1 other colleges nllow consideration for !heir student athletes. The nursing department offered reasons based mostly the scheduling of classes in the nursing department. According 10 pape1$ included in the minutes or Ille meeting. "Willl the excepuon of one course per scme~icr, all nur..ing course .IJ'I! only offered one time." A result of this is 1h01 nursing studenis do not rcnlly have much flexibility in scheduling their classes.

Four out of six phones need repairs by Rachel J. Willioms News l:.iJiior Lately tile campus S<.'Curi1y phones have made it preny difficult 10 reach out nnd touch wiyonc. According 10 Associa1e Director of Grounds and Campus Safety Mike Halpern, four ou1 of the six security phones 1ha1 were ins1allcd last fall haven·, been working properly. Hal pern said he believe~ the phones wcren · 1 sealed properly and the wet weather ruined them. "We've hod such a fluxuoii on or weather 1his winter." he said. resulting in 1he shorting. ou1 of the auto-dialers on the telephones. Halpern ~oid the phones have been auto-dialing 911 up 10 10 and 12 times in one shon period of umc. Halpern said 911 pCf'Onncl would call the campus )ccuri1y office and !ISi.. whnt wa.~ gomg on. When security checked the phone,. there Wa!> no indication that anyone had dialed from them, Halpern said. That's wh~n they dbco,ered th.: senb on lhc phones weren't prot«ting the mechanism\ from the dampness. he said. causing condensnuon tn\idc 1hc phone,.
"We se nt one or them back," Halpern said. explai ning the phone.s arc stiU under warrnnty from the Rhode lslw,d company 1h01 manufactures them. The company reponed that the enamel coating on the phones was 10 blame as Halpern had anticipated. The repaired phone will be sent bock. Holpern said, and 1cs1ed for additional problems. It will be placed on the Garden Avenue location right in fron1 of the Sherman AdministrJ11on building. Halpern said tha t though NIC cou ld probably repair the other phones here. it's been decided 1h01 the company will be held responsible for fiiting 1hem. The two 1ha1 have had no problem, so far ar.: the ones in Ille rear parking lot of the library and behind the Ht-dlund Building. Halpern said he feels really bad about th~ situo1ion becau~e the phone~ were fine a number of weeks afler being install.:d- until the wet w.:ather hit. At 1he time of purchase. Halpern said the Romtech phon~ oppc:ued 10 be 1hc most coM-effcc1ive ont:5 10 buy. "I'm surpri~ed and disuppoin1ed it happenll<I like I.his,'' Halp.:m ~aid.

Nelson anything but curt by John M. Myt>rs Sentinel Re11oner His name is Cunis Elion Nelson. He 1eaches physics and mmh courses 01 NIC. hos done so for 15 years. and so is keenly aware of 1he fact tha1 if there were two of him he would be a half-Nelson. Instead Cun walks the canh as n full-Nelson We all know 1h01 ignorance is bliss. In becomi ng educated we . gain a strong nwartness of how fragile our life-thread is. Our grca/ expanding awareness reaches out to 1he problems of other countries, nnd in no small wny. the pain of the world becomes our own. The grca1 and many auuci1ies of the pasl scar our presem and give us nothing but painful lessons. And so here siis Cun Nelson. A mnn who was perhaps 1101 born a genius. but invariably became one, and he looks prcuy dnmn happy. Wha1 gives? Nelson was born in Coeur d'Alene in 1937 and was formally educn1cd al lhc University of Washing1on where he received his bachelor of aru in math. He received his master's in physics al the University of Idaho. Bc1wccn degrees. Ncl~n cnlis1cd in 1he U.S. Navy, where he was trained as an electrician. During his four-year s1in1 as a sailor he wcnl 10 1hc Far E.JSI and spcnl much time in l11ailund. His brai n is crammed with trivia, bul he hands it oul in small doses. You gel juSI enough obscuratae when conversing with Cun to keep you hungry for more. "Did you know 1ha1 1he monar used in 1he Grea1 Wall of Chinn i~ cholk-whi1c becau.sc ii is made of rice wa1cr'T' Indeed I did 001 know 1h01, and so I sa1 1hcrc a liulc wiser limn when I cn1ered his office. He has a "'liming" for trivia, ju~l ns ~ any wonhy comedian has an inna1e ~ens.: for delivering hi \ I.. next line. ~~Here is the recipe l'or a small, ex1ended ~ial •F disns1er: 111e Bore.

The imponnm difference is 1ha1 ~· the bore is uying desperately 10 Q~ impress. while Nelson is wanting · 1. 10 educnte. He is completely 'I: ' incapable of snobbery.
He metes ou1 fact wi1h n smile.

Alumni group available for any age graduates by Christopher Clancy St111ti11e/ Reporter
What began primarily os a sports organization for fom1er studems has blossomed in 10 n mullifaceted alumni association that could become a valuable suppon organiza1ion for former s1udents. The association wns formed by former N!C a1hle1es trying 10 lind a way 10 crea1e a da1abosc of their peers and 1hen expanded in scope 10 include all former students of 1he college. Commiuec prcsiden1 Doug Pe1crs was an a1hletc at NlC in 1he early 1960s os cemcr for the Cnrdinnls' bnske1ball 1eam. At 53, Pe1ers hos decided tha1 31 lns1 he has the lime 10 be o leader in the forma1ion of 1he associa1ion. though many of the association· s 01her members are younger s1udents. most gradua1ed within 1he pas1 fow years. One advantage of 1hc association is a sense: of being in touch with 1he college and i1s affairs. "'There a.re :i gre:11 many people out 1hcrc who hove benefitted from their experiences here and who could give bock 10 the
ins1i1u1ion," said Dean of College Rcla1ions Sieve Schenk. Many former s1uden1s could serve as nn "imponani adjunct to the college" and a "valuable suppon organiunion in 1hc future, Schenk said. StudenLS need nol be graduates of N!C 10 be members of 1he associa1ion. but only to have aucnded 01 some poim, Schenk said. Since many students who attend a1 NlC do 001 choose 10 graduate or transfer before qualifying for a degree, the association is no1 1imi1cd by the number of ac1ual gradua1es who can become members. Some of the organiuuion's primary func1ions in 1he fu1ure could include sponsorship of art or cultural even1s, concens and possibly even some a1hle1ic evcnLS. Ano1her idea might be the release of a quarterly NIC Alumni newsletter 10 help former s1uden1s to lind ways of gening involved in projecLS 1ha1 will benefit 1he college. Schenk said.

Engineering Club helps discover job opportunities, gain experience by Melody Mortt Sen1ine/ S1ofl nvolvement in the Engineering Club has made n difference for NIC s1uden1S. For Clarissa Hageman. secrcto.ry-trcnsurcr for the club, it provided a means of discovering the var1c1y of available employment options. "lt got me involved with a chance 10 explore all the different possibilities there arc for careers in the sciences," Hageman said. "Sometimes it's hard to find out what you are most interested in." Jesse Bagley, current Engineering Club president, said he also has bencfiued from his association with the club. "With so many different fields of engineering, it's narrowed down the field l want 10 go into," Bagley said. According 10 co-advisor Curt Nelson. the major focus of activities of the Engineering Club is 10 provide o connection for the student with real-life science applications. ··t belie1•e it to be nn integral pan of education by exposing students to the real world of the workplace," Nelson said. This is accomplished by a variety of licld trips and guest speaker5. Students can actually walk the halls of

This year's trip is scheduled for April 19-22 with fliers going up around mid-March. according 10 Nelson. Previous local field trip sites include Hewleu Packard, Kaiser Aluminum, International Computer Systems (l.C.S.), Energy Producis of Idaho (E.P.l.) and the Spokane sewage treatment plant. The most recent guest speaker was an environmental engineer from Hecla Mining Company. 1udcn1S also get an opportunity to visit the campuses of transfer colleges. According to Nelson. irips in the fall include visits 10 Gonzaga University and Ul 31 Mnscnw. where studenrs can check out the engineering and science departments. talk about financial aid, scholarships and housing. Nelson said he also believes 1ha1 the social aspect of the club is very imponant. Hageman agrees. "It gives people the opportunity to meet other people interested in the sciences." Hageman said. "l11ey also develop beuer relationships with their advisers which furthers men1oring."
S
Social activiLies include an annual spring picnic at Fnragut State Park at the end of finals week. Alumni, teachers and current students arc all welcome 10 aucnd Nelson said. ' The Engineering Club does nol have regularly scheduled meeting times, though they meet about every two weeks according to Nelson. Notices are posted in all classrooms in Seiter Hall as well as on bulletin boards in the hallways. Meetings last just 15 minutes and are designed to allow for planning future events, including fund-raiser5. 'The club is currently comprised of about 35 students. Nelson said he said that these include, but are no! limited to, students of engineering. computer science, malh, chcmis1ry, physics. astronomy. nnd science nnd moth education. He added that all nre welcome 10 join.

The North Idaho College Sentinel
How perfect is a college experience without alcohol? 1\lcohol. A college experience these days doesn't seem complete without it and thus students ,:onsume more of ii than pop and water combined. College Mudents also i.eem to know the pany dates and places more than they know their course schedules and the location of the buildings they hnve their classes in. Although l am not declaring that alcohol be removed from the face of the eanh. l believe that some serious considerations need 10 be taken before opening the first beer of the night. For instance. drinking a cuse of beer b.:fore having to given speech for Spcech 131 (liken friend _..,......,...__.....__.._.._, of mine did) is not n sman idea. Neither is the ovcr-consumpuon of Fekadu K"iros alcohol. Opinion As a resident at the NlC donns. l witnes~ whnt effects alcohol has on students' pc!rsln,ll relationships und academic performance. Seventy-li\c p,:1:ent of college students are believed to consume alco 101 on a regular basis. Why such nigh number.,'! 111e re~on for drinking varies from one ~tudent to another. Some of the reasons I have heard include bct..iu,c of the Mre~s college creates, as a proof to show how "cool" a student is. thnt it is the only fom1 of cntcnainmcnt c,pccially in this ~mnll town other than movies. that it is the only fonn of intcracuon with other )tudcms, and the list goes on. The abo,e excu:.cs don't suffice 8.', being ju,tifiablc for dnnt..ing. lnc strc~ of college docM1' 1go away because one is drunk; in foct, it adds 10 ii. Obviously the homework doesn't get done while the studcni i~ ou1 drinking. and the undone homework and facing a 1es1 without )tudying creates more streS~. Of course. a drunk pcMn b not "cool." I don't find pt.'Oplc who nn: so drunk that they can't walk, can'r speak. or fall on their own \'Omit appealing at nll. For the in1.:rnc1ion, I cxpec1 people 10 be coherenl, reasonable and remember whnl they say if I am 10 s:iy that I had a good lime. Plus. if students open their eye . there i, a lot 10 do in Coeur d' Alene and neighboring places. Thi) :in:a is n mecca for its ou1door cntcnainmcnt both in winier and summer. If one nl'td~ some cmcnninmcni, some of the possibilitic~ include the ,ki rc5ons around 1hc :irca, thcaters, intramural, the gnmcs nt l'fIC and :i li11lc bi1 of studying will sumce. Excessive usage of nkohol h,L\ no nd\'antogc: it results in undc~irable grade,, bad rela1ion~hips, a financial cri~is, the hangovers in the morning nnd the innbilit)' IO comrol one's dei.uny. llic idea of no1 con,ummg so much alcohol and knowing what is going on migh1 ,cern a linle :,,:ary a1 lirs1. But think of those nchicsablc better grades. the non-existence of hangovers. the money saved and the inner ~1hfac1ion of achieving something.

Bennett rneets the press A college campus like any other institution requires lenders 1ha1nre competent enough both 10 lead and follow. Leaders must realize that they nrc required 10 answer 10 the CU$10mcr regard less of wha1 position they hold in an institution. Thb doesn't secn110 happen on the NIC eampu~. The reason could be that c11her the people in power tact.. responsibili1y or they ha\'e lost touch with their cu11omcrs. Recent examples Include 1he president of the college nnd an ASNIC officer. President Roben Bennen recently told two Sentinel editors to leave an open mee1ing Then he stayed at the meeting longer 1hao he was supposed 10 while thc others gn,·e their inpu1 and left the meeting. The comminec holding the meeting was intimated and thus 1he meeung was not ~ open a forum as it should have been. Another instant involved an ASNIC office. While a Mudent talked with an ASNIC officer abou1 nn issue of concern. the officer replied by saying thnt he v.as ha,•ing a crappy day and wasn't about to take any "s-t" from nnyonc. In bo1h cas~. our leaders exhibued a lack of leadership nnd were showcasing a power trip. h is for sure 1h01 bo1h these indh•iduuls like other lenders h:ivr a responsibility 10 the people they are serving. lia\•ing n crappy dny is no1 a ju~tilication for not being willing to deal with a problem. Mos1 students feel crappy about having 10 p:iy SIO 10 ASNIC for acthitics. Ndther
nrc they delighted ubou1 paying today's outrngeous college fees and tuition. Regardless. they still pay the fees o.long with 1axpayers and the lea.st they cnn cxpcl<:t is good service. Studen1s should 001 have to pave 1hc road for the president's or nnyone else's power trip. StudcntS are customen who should be taken care of because if the school fails in thi s duty they will go look somewhere else. Also, it is the responsibili1y of people in posiuon like the presidem and the ASN1C officer to use their po"er appropria1ely. The committee chair evidently was 100 intimated to thnnk Bennen for his input and tell him bis ume was up and ask him 10 leave. Bennett should ha\'e expla.ined his reasons for not waniing the Sentinel s1arr there and he should have left arter his allocn1ed umc was up. It may have be understandable 1hat he was on n power trip, but when he chooses 10 do something unethical and illegal like kicking out students from an open meeting, he should consider explaining himself a liule better. As for the ASN1C officer. he should remember that he is elected to serve students no1 10 treat them as crappy as he feels. A pov.er trip a1 any posi1ion is 001 1oleruble a.nd may catch up with the leader. If our leaders nt NlC have a problem with their temper. maybe they should consider attending the Stres5 Management classes. It may htlp them become more attached 10 the people they are suppose 10 be serving.

Republicans: Represent the majority, advocate fairness To lhc Edi1or: 1run writing to tell reponer Dan Bell 1ha1 he's 1he one who better wa1oh out and who bencr nol cry. Why? Becau!<! liberal ac1ivists like you do not rcpresenl the majori1y of America. Republicans like myself do. I will go on the record 10 soy 1hnt his opinion column in the Dec. 9 Sentinel contained more fallacious comments lhan any anicle thn1 I had ever read. Rcln1ing Republicans and Christians 10 1he likes of Ku Klux Klan is completely insane. Moy I remind you that the Republican Pany was founded on the anti-slavery movement. It is a Republican philosophy 10 promote fairness and open doors for opponunity for all who were willing. Look back into your history book and read nboul Linc,>ln (a Republit:lll) who. with strong convictions. brough1abou11he 14. 15 and 16 nmcndments 10 1hc Cons1i1u1ion.

Ar~ .. 10 e1t.11rc 1h01 safely for a few black students because the governor or Arkansas (a Democrat) refused to recogmL.C them as sM1erts. As for )OOr tu quoque a11i1udc for lhc Speaker or the House Mr. Newt Gingrich. do you nol believe what he Im~ 10 say is no1 of gct<l merit? The man may nol have lived a perfc<:1 life like yourself. but is lha1 any reason 10 dismiss whnt he hos 10 sny ? lf :iou were 10 soy 1ha1 one should always practice what they preach. then I believe lhat you would hove mnny more comrlamts about Bill Clin1on. In adJrtssing 1he Con1rnc1 with amcrica.. as a conlf3ct with a few American~. you have used one or the grca1es1 loaded epithet~ 10 slant on nrgumcn1 that I hove ever seen. Republicans have nc~cr used cu1s in welfare. Social Security or Medicaid 10 discrin11na1c. Republicans only wunl 10 reform and modify a system 1ha1 is failing. Why nol crcntc n ~ystem to where the 1c<:ipien1S would want 10 gc1 off ii inMcad or olways having to depend on a government check. I run in agreement with you, Mr. Bell. 1h01 Santa Clause is a kind and gcnerou~ person.

Bookstore: Takes advantage of students
Self infatuated ....
Ci.tokEcli ERRi ES If they had more power they'd be currents!
To the Editor: We feel the Nonh Idaho College Bookstore tokes advnn1age of the students at the end of the semester who are broke nnd hard-up for money. The bookstore on ly offers minimal amounts of money for the books you purchased only a semester ogo that are still in remarkable condition. For instance, one student bought a used speech book for S25 and returned it at the end of the semester. This s1udcnt was only offered S9. When the semester is over nnd students head home without any money in their pockets, they hav~ no choice but to accept the ridiculous offer. The refund s.hould depend on the condition the book is in when it's returned. For example, as we've already slated a student only received S9 for a book that cost S2S. Nine dollars was set rnte for no maner what the condition was. We unders1and thnt the books1ore needs to make a profi1. However, the bookstore needs to be more sensitive to the student's financial situations by evnlunting the condition of the book when it's returned. That way a reasonable refund can be given.

You had your chance to win n free s11.1cc when Phi Theta Koppa raffled off a rree space earlier this week. N,:atc.eh?

• One of the new ASNIC senators was overheard saying something rather, uh, typi::al. A Sentinel reponcr asked him if since he was now a pan of the student government if they would hnve to be enemies, and he answered joklngly, "Nah. I'm just In It ror the money anyway." Hey kld!

• Although we've made plenty or stink about two of our rcponers gelling kicked out or a supj>OS('dly open meeting, we'd like to whine a litde more. Wbnt? Some of you haven't heard the story? Herc's the basic rundown. Two staffers who showed up 10 cover a meeting regarding the registrotion controversies were ordtred lo leave right away before even taking their seats. President Bennett explained loter tha1 they were removed bccouse they were representing the press, and they would've been able to stay if they were jus1plain 'ol students. Funny, we don't think that is the case, being as both are well known nmong udministnuion as being Sentinel stnfT membeis.

Gay Column: Sentinel made the right decision To 1hc editor, As a follower of the debate surrounding 1he recently falled Idaho ballot initiative known as Proposition I, I came across a column in you newspaper by Seth Sicvenpiper discussing in o mos1 candid way his inability to get a dale (The Sen1inel: Friday. November 9. 1994, pg. 14): and his subscquen1 leuers to the editor (Friday, December 9, 1994) wrincn in reac1ion to Sievenpiper's column by o Mr. Jerry Nickles and college Pre.siden1 C. Rohen Benne11. I om wri1ing 10 congratulate The Sentinel for publishing all three pieces without judgement, and allowing this free dialogue to take place in your pages. In a country as a diverse as a Americn. which I believe also includes the fine regal bastion of a community of Coeur d' Alene. Idaho. I would call this normal responsible journalism; panicularly from a small publica1ion. Although Mr. Nickles has kicked up quite a bit of mud from those wagon tracks. I say bravo for allowing him his space to publicly voice his dislike of sodomite pervens. Perhaps he should stand on the street comer and carry a sign. His lener is true slap-in-the-focc evidence 10 unders1anding that unfonunately not everyone in America knows somebody who is gay. even in 1he beautifully p1c1uresque regal bastlon of Coeur d' Alene. Idaho. I suy brnvo for allowing President Bennen 1he ~pace to publicly put his talc between his legs and sit on th.: fence with n ltmp-wristed, tongue-tied response too person who seems to be in need of the ,•try education his school offers (in th,u same regal baslion of Coeur d' Alene.) Bu1 most of all I say bra,o for allowing studentS Sc1h Sievenpiper his gutsy. cheeky. column expressing no1hing more than the very simple young adult desire of falling in love and kissing someone after a Saturdll)' night dote in friendly linle Regal Bas1ion, U.S.A. b ii any wonder your newspaper has received all those awards listed on the Op-Ed page? I think no1. Keep up 1he good work.

Rally Williams: old and good Pic1urc yourself on NIC campus in November 1961 going 10 a NIC men's baskc1ball gnme a11he old gym. All 1he plnyers nre wearing while "Chuck Taylor" canvas high tops and shons thal arc so high up on !he player·~ 1highs 1ha1 you know why 1hey call 1hcm shons. 1\nd 1hen on 1he sideline you sec a tall man wilh a nice head of hair. You see his name in 1he program as Rolly Williams. Head Coach. Wail n mlnu1e. Rolly Williams is 1he coach in 1995. He isn·1 as slender. and he is missing n few hairs. II can·1be 1he same Rolly. Yes, it i~ tl1<: same Rolly. Tiuny-four years Inter he is s1ill 1hc head coach. and he s1ill is winning baskc1ball games. After coaching over I,000 games and winning 70 I of 1hose games (70 percent), he is ranked cigh1h oil time for National Junior College Athlc1ic Association (NJCAA) coaches and founh among active coaches for NJCAA. He is the second oldes1 employee al this ins1i1ution, but the purpose of this article isn't to make Rolly feel old. II is to show how he hos been able 10 be so successful af1er 34 years at the helm. Williams has established himself as a winning baskelball coach in a spon that Cody Raithel has played second fiddle to NIC's Opinion wres1ling dynasty. h's not the number of wins that Impresses me the most nbout Williams. II is lhc way he has evolved over !he three decades of change in 1he world of college basketball. Thirty-four years ago there was no three-point shot. and there was no shot clock. Only the big men dunked, and there was no 1hree-second rule. There were no pump shoes or long shorts. Heck, there wasn'1 even jump shots 34 years ago. But despi1e all this change Williams hos been able to evolve into a winning coach that can withstand lhe test of time in a spon that chnngcs by the minute. Williams also impresses me with his demCllnor-the way he carries himself around his players and the way he cares for his players. Sure, he yells n liule. but only to motivate his team ond only to teach them. Williams is from 1hn1 trndition of team-oriented, disciplinary. fundnmcnmlly sound basketball. When: has Lha1 coaching 1cchnique gone? Todny' s game is Ii lied with players that are always looking for 1hc ~pecrncular piny. College players wnm money and fancy shoes on 1op of a full-ride scholarship. I recall reading Elvin llayes' autobiogrnphy in which he talked about how 1hrilled he wn.~ when the University of Houston offered him a full ride-- considenng the shoes he wore for his high school games he pulled out of n LrBSh hin. Other long-ti me coaches. such ns Dobby Knighl, have not ye1 learned 1ha1 they can't get away with the things they did to discipline their players 20 or 30 ycnrs ago. Williams has lenrned this lesson. He knows how lo assert di'leipllne with a certain amount of caution. He is a moti valor and n tea.:hcr of the game. Take for example Willi oms' team this year. He began the year w11h 13 freshman and uro rctummg starters. Only one player (Teddy Russinov) even played last season. Yet he has his team nearly beating 1hc cighlh·ranked NJ CAA team in the nation. The purpose of n coach is 10 teach the game, and most of all to be a players' second fa1hcr--10 asstrt discipline, yet be there when n plnye.r needs help. This is wha1 Rolly Williams docs. Sny what you will about how Williams is old fnshioncd and yells a lot. Before you judge his coaching ability. look at his wins, and most of all look at how he has adap1ed 10 three dC(:adcs of change, how he has ~n able to convcn over 10 the modem game. NlC should feel fonunatc to have Rolly Williams ns the head coach. No one should ever doubt thnt he can coach today's game.

We were all searching for the "pcrfcc1" male or signilican1 01her. We lamented 10 our friends the disappoin1mcnts of 1he da1ing scene, much like whOI I hear on campus 1odoy amongs11he younger genem1ion. The difference be1wcen now and 1hcn is you didn'1 read about it in a college newspaper. I am appalled 1ha1you (1he Sen1inel S1a(I) would choose 10 pri nl personal ads in your paper ond cnll 1hcm edi1orials. I agree with Kara Wans and believe that the majori1y of s1uden1s here. old and young. don't wani 10 rend about two individuals' inability 10 find good men. And no, I am noi offended by 1hc one column being wrinen by a gay s1uden1. as one parlicular person would like 10 have u~ all believe. 111cses two columns belong in the bock of the paper in 1he personals section.
