Athletic Budget Committee discusses funding options

At the Oct. lO meeting the commiucc discus~d four op11ons for recomcndntioru; to the Board of Trustees. One of the op1ions included addressing the gap m money be1ween lhe grant-in-aid awarded 10 othlctic ~tudenis and non-a1hlc1ic s1udents. Another op1io11 wus the possibili1y of plat'mg :i pcrcenroge budget cap on 1hc athletic department tha1 would ,uy tlrn1 athletics could only use a ccnoin percent of the 101al NIC budge1 each year.

Science m~truc1or, Lloyd Mnrsh proposed 1h01 ,1udcn1, should be surveyed periodically 10 find out their opmions on a1hlc1ic!> nt NIC. II wns also proposed that mcmbe~ of 1hc community should be ~C\cyed 10 lind out how they feel nbou1 the athletic program~.

A1hle11c Director Jim Headley ~aid 1ha1 he though1 lhe revitw hud been valuable. bu1 he \\Ouldn'1 \ugge~t having a cittzcn comnuucc n:vie"' board for every depanmem on campus.

At 1he Oct. 3 mee11ng of 1hc commiuec Pre,ident Bob Bennett ,poke on the amou111 of money thni 1hc a1hktic budget ac1ually receive~. and gave his opinion on 1hc future of 1he budget. .. Benne11 began by describing 1he amount of money 1n 1he budget. I-le ~a,d 1ha1 al1hough the a1hle11c opcra11ng budgc1 is $604.535: after ~1udent fee\. gale receipts and s101e funds are tnken away, 1here is only $328.506 1h31 comes out of 1hc operating budgc1 of NIC. Benne11 said that ir all a1hle1ic program~ were cu1 at NIC. the $328.506 would only be nble 10 go 10 educa1ional programs because vocational program\ ore funded by the stale. '"I believe !hat alhlctic~ ore inherently pnn of lhc college experience,'" Bennett said.

Although athleucs arc importan1, Benneu said tha1ii could be reviewed.

"NIC has a good program. but no program is too good to 1ake a look at." Benneu said.

Headley staled that there hns never been n 1imc mNIC a1hlcucs that local athletes haven't had n chance 10 ploy.

Blood borne diseaSll.~ wch :is AIDS and 1he potential problem~ it pre~ents were brought sharply inio focus a couple of weeks ago when nn NlC employee stuck his hnnd into a trash can and pricked himself with n hypodermic needle.

After :i time it wo~ discovered the true use of the needle in question was for insulin injection. However. this still docs not re.~olve rhe fact that the insul nt injectee may hnve been carrying a blood borne disease.

Black. or the chemistry department, and Michal, the school nurse. saw that the unfonunateincident could in rum benefit others in the furure.

Thursday a seminar was held denling with HlV. Serving as u panel were residents of North Idaho who are inflicted with the AIDS virus. The objectivc was to get people to sec other peqple who have contracted lhe disease in a humanistic hght. and to funhcr illummate the pcculiaritt'S or the virus.

Michal asks thut individuals who have a need to use hypodermic needles for insulin injection etc., contact her for needle disposal.

Also around campus are emergency sonitorion and protection kits numbering about I00 in number. These kit~ contain protective glove.~. E.S.P. liquid-congealing powder to spread over the spill. a ~patulo to remove the spill which is then placed in a provided Zip-Loe bag and a germ1cidol cloth to wipe the orc3 thoughly. The sealed bag and oll other items are then dhposed of in a 1rash recepticle.

The bottom line. a~-cording to Michal, is. ''If you are going to have physical conract with other peoples blood or body 11.uids. latex protection of some kind (gloves. condoms, etc.) must be used.''

Student takes look at controversial athletic budget I figure 1h01 it's time to put in my 2 cents wonh about the Athletic Budget Commincc and what i1 has done.

The fir.., problem b shat early on they had rc:1lly done nothing. I went to two of the !irst throe ll'K.'C tings. and both times it seemed like the_re was a 101 of things being discussed bu1 notlung wns nc1ually gcning accomplished.

At the most recent meeting on Tuesday. there w:is finally something bemg done to make steps toward getting some of lhe problems solved with the athletic budget.

These steps included a proposal to put a limit on the percentage of money that N[C can spend on athletics each year. Also. she committee discussed the options available to close the gap between Jonathan Hay grant-in-aid for n1hlc1es and nonOpinion at NlC. -------- athletes I'm glad to sec tho, they an: making MC~ toward solving the problem, but is there really o problem?

I think tha1 the repons of the demise of the :uhlctic depanment are grc:1tly c,c_aggcrn1ed. As far ns I'm concerned NIC ,s running a prcny good program. When was the l:ist time you opened up the paper and read that NIC is being investigated for recruiting violntion\ or thllt the n1hletes hnvc been nunking out of M:hool m droves?

Ba.~icnlly. I thmk that NIC doc\ a good job of gcuing its a1hle1e, an cducution and for the most pan they ~tay out of trouble.

The \ll\'ing, thn1 would be made if NIC cut athlcuc~ completely would only be S328,506. It\ not rcao;onnble to think that even if cu1, '>ere made 111 athletics 1hn1 they would cut 01hlctic, nl1oge1her.

Bennett proposes innovative tax shift The Board ofTrustccs is leaning away from getting revenue from propcny IW(CS, according to President Boh Bennett At the board of trustees meeting Oct. 4. Bcnncu said he has nn innovative idea.

Hts plan calls for a gradual shift to sales tax over several yeaN. This is in~tcad of using money from propcny 1;txcs.

NIC cum:ntly takes in S5.8 million in propeny taxes and plnns to slowly replace that propeny tax revenue with ~oles tax revenue over umc.

1l1c cum:m plan is 10 bring in SI million in 1997, Sl.5 million in 1998, S2 million 111 1999 and $2.5 million 111 the year 2000.

The state legi,la1ion would allow NIC 10 keep its local control and levy propeny ,oxes 10 replace lhis sales tax revenue ,f the ~,a1e refuses 10 allocate i1.

However, Bcnncn snid he ha~ hean:l that Gov. Phil Bau ~uppon~ thi) idea and strongly encouraged the trw.tces 10 )Upp<>n II as well.

Bcnnen also added that the plan does not call for an mcrca...c in ,;nl~ 1:u., but 10 give NIC a share of the sales tax revenue surplu~.

So what d~ all thb mean?

Well, it means good news for the residents of Kootenai County as th,~ pion should keep the propcny UU<CS down II also means NIC's funding will oo brought in more on a Mntewidc level rather than the bulk of thi, money

coming directly from Koo1cnn1 County.

Thi~ is good news to local re.,idenis. However, Bennett's plan is 1101 ns umquc and mnovative as he claims.

State Supenntendl'nt Anne Fox hn~ the s:imc idea except her proposal calls for a I percent increa.,;e in the ~les tu.

111i, seem~ more realistic because over time with inOuuon. NIC's budget is going 10 get bigger and by the year 2000 will probably nelld more lhwt $5.8 million m tax rcvcnu~. unles:. of coul'M!. Benncn h:h another innovative idea up his slc1;1ve.

Fox's plan isn't really geared ,pt..-ci!ically toward colleges, but toward public schools and growth m general.

Fox <.aid I perocnt on one dollar would bring un emn SI 00 million 11110 the state in one year.

Although the lru.t thmg everyone in Idaho wan,~ 10 ..cc 1s n higher sales sax, it would bring in more revenue a11d make more sale, taX money available 10 NIC and other schools as w.:11 as keep the propeny t.ues down.

You mny be thmking, "Well, we're gomg to pay for ii one woy or another."

True. but by gcning llducn1ional funds frum sales m., rather thnt propeny ttu, not only ore we pnying more. but so is everyone el~.:.

Idaho's sale ta., increase will bring in mon.:y from out of Mnte, and the tourists will oo funding our 1>ehools rather than th,: total bunlen being plocc:d on tho: S1a11: of Idaho and more imponuntly, Kootenui County.

Bnan Russell had arrived m leas1 n hair nn hour early to go over his lines as Happy Lomun before th<! official n:hcan.,11 for "D.!n1h uf u Sale..-.nmn" was 10 begin 1h01 evening.

As 01hcrs ~,ancd arm1111g for n:heo.rs:il. they convened in the audi1orium scats. talking among lhem~lvcs. When Dnn Powell urrivcd, he carried o foo1bnll. Soon the football began being tossed around between the nclor.i. A casual observer mny have seen 1his nctivily as n mere ou1le1 for excess energy, but there was more 10 it.

11~plained 1hn1 u pan of the process of chnmctcr development is encouraging each char.icier 10 improvise. devclo11ing actions nnd mtitudcs as 1hc chn.r:1c1er in their every doy i111croc1ions. Powell's char.1c1cr Biff Loman handles a roo1b.1II during 1hc scene: therefore it is imponam that he feels comfonabh: with 1h1s piece of '"business."

Along these same lines. Rarick hod each ue1or provide him with n wrincn )lntemcnt of thut chnroctcr's obJCCllvc for each scene as well 11~ whnt Mo~ them from achieving the ObJCCllVC.

Rarick started the scene by asking bo1h actors what they each wamed 10 have h.ippen in the coun.c of 1hc scene and how that Iied into thei r &uper objl'Clive for the piny.

"1luppy i, o pleru.ure·\CCkcr." Ru=II ,aid of his character.

"Biff is n pmn-:ivoider," Powell said.

Rarick a.,kcd Powell what he ,;cc~ as Ihe

critical question his character Biff is asking his brother Happy in this scene. "'11101question and the ru1swer 10 1ha1 question will pervade the rest of the play," Rarick said.

As the rehearsnl shifted 10 ano1her scene, Rarick sat quietly in the auditorium scats. whb--pcring notations 10 his assi~tam din.>ctor, Mcliss.1 Lamb. and nodding his head in npproval us th,: acton. on stage kept the pace uf the sceno: movmg along. 1l1en, n-~ the ~enc reached J point where a major sh1f1 occurs.

Rarick said.

1l1is night was only three weeks imo the full six weeks of rche:irsals scheduled. Rarick explained lllnl his role us director changes depending on whnl stage they are 01. The previous night he snid he wru. fully engaged in the process. dealing with m1crprern1ion of lines and blocking the mov,:mcnt for each scene. Rarick said 1hn1 there !lre night~ when he ~tops every line. Bui then, if the \CCne has been rchcarscd 1l11"'C times. he gets out of the wuy 10 allow some continuity. He muk~-s note~ and goes b.ick Inter. " It doc.~ no good 10 tell people 1his h the "~1y 1hc pluy is," Rarick ~:1id "You cut them off from n lot of ,heir cr.:01ivi1y. You have 10 give them guidelines."

Rarick said 1hat 1he cast for this play is n sharp group with seasoned ac1ors.

'They have ideas nnd in1erprern1ions beyond what I huve." Rnrick said.

So he becomes a blendc:r. he said, making everything consistent with what happens in the play and with each or 1he other actors.

He also explained that his job of creating a uniform production go.:s beyond the actOt:S 10 include the lights, cosrumes 3J1d property people.

"SomeboJy has 10 be the person 10 say yes and no," Rorick said. "h's the director's job."

Rarick said he picked "Death of a Salcsmwi" because of it being one of the five most importrutt American plays.

Russell concurred. RuSScll uncoded NIC thn.-e years ago, recently graduuung wi1h a BA in theater from EaMem Oregon Su11e "I always wanted 10 do 1h1,- play." Ru,)Cll said. 'Thi\ is on.: you always read in theater and ac1,ng clQhl.."

TI11s is one of those movies 1ha1is going 10 draw the usual Stallone-loving crowd. and if you loved him in rhc po~1. he is nor going 10 disappoin1 you now.

A game that is currently available is "Ray Mun" which has the most adorable main chnractcr who can give a r~pberry ~o anyone whenever you are in the mood. Another game •~ "Bnnlc Arena Toshinden." The moves tha1 are possible wirh this game. you have 10 see 10 believe.

The gmphics are Ml amazing lht11 you feel hke you arc the one kicking bun or geuing you~ kicked.

Both are an interesting experience with chis game. . The only drawback I con see wi1h this sy~tcm rs the astronomical price of $300 for the system and about $60 for each of the games.

Now before yoo dismiss the whole thing as a marketing ploy (Well, it is. but I chose 10 ignore it), there is hope. Your local video stores are stocked up and ready to rent for a fee. The cost of rental will vary, but the avenge seems to be about $15. Since the system Is still so new, reserving it would be wise.

So grab a few friends to offset the cost and have a pat time.

"A bill can be votc:d on in either the ICC meeting or the ASNJC mee1ing; this bill just happen to fall during the week ICC met." Stein said. "When there is a no vote by ICC on a bill, it is dead, and 1herc is no reason for it to voted on by the ASNIC' board."
