Evidently. this ,s not the c-.i.-.c It :.eems ~tr.U1ge that I can buy books at a di~coum nt any other book-;clling place. not to speak of the low prices for supplies at most outletS in the nrea, When I bough1my la.st book, I :~,ked whnt the bookstore pttid for the one I spent $40 for.

Anyone with a calculator und ~ome fncL~ could figure that a tremendous runount of money is noooing through the bookstore. flow arc the students Patty MOOf'e benefiting from this'/ ()pinion It is my contention thut the best benefit would be lower prices for the students who buy the books. I would be very unhappy to lind the 1>rofits going to support any endeavor 1hut doesn't benefit all students cqunll y, or lit lcu~t 1hc one~ who wen! rc~ponsible for the profits. This semester ulonc, I ~pent almost $300 on books nt the bookstore. There arc nearl y 3.000 students at N I.C.. nnd muny of them buy books with money directly out of their pockets. When I cnlled llns11ngs, I was !Old that a student could order a textbook and receive nn nu1oma1ic 10 percent discount. and if there wns n 1c,ubook that the dimibutor didn' t nllow II dbcount on , thnn the mnrk-up would 1101 so up I would much m1hcr buy my books at ll ns1lngs 1hcn go 10 1hc book~torc. where the m:1rk-11p is I00 percent on most books.

National Coming out Day: Focuses on self-esteem, not politics Oenr Edi1or: he Merriam-Webster DicLionary defines "bigot" as: "One intolerantly devoted to his own church, party, or opinion." This description fits so-called Sentinel reponer , Wilcox to a tee. Arter reading Wilcox' s Jener to the Edilor in the Ocl. 31 issue of our school paper, I found myself appalled. Wilcox is nol only a bigo1of 1he firs1magnitude, bu t a master of the run-on scn1ence.

Dear Editor:

Dear Edi1or:

egarding your edi1orial about the help th:11 is received in 1he computer labs on campus. Just like the Sen1inel staff we rely on s1udcnt help in Lhe labs. Jus1like the Seminel smff, our s1uden1helpers are lcammg their jobs as they go along. Just like the Sen1inel staff, our studcn1 helpers don' I yet know every1hing 1hcy need to know 10 do 1heir jobs and j usl like 1he Sen1lnel s1aff they make mis1akes occasionally. Unlike 1he Sentinel s1nff, however, our s1udcnt helpers don' t send messages al poking fun al the Seminel s1afT for 1heir juvenile, sarcastic, liberally slnn1cd aniclc:s, 1heir poor grnmmar. or their horrendous spelling. Let's allow for our students to learn 1heir jobs while they do 1heir jobs, and not attock them for not being perfect. David Johnson

Don't let Congress decide the fate of financial aid for you A11en1ion all ~tudcnts on finnncinl :ud! Don' t be so sure 1ha1the money will be 1hcrc for you next year. Our friends in Wnshington,D.C , arc up to their old trick~ ngnin. and program~:ire going on 1he chopping block 10 cul 1hc nn1ionnl debt. Unfortunately for college students, federal fi nancial aid i:. one of 1he items bei ng led to the slaughter. The GOP controlled House of Representn1ives plans 10 give $27 billion to education programs . which is a $6 billion cut from 1he amount given in 1995. The goal of all these cuts is to balance the budget in seve n years. Prcside111 Bill Clinton stated 1h01he doesn' I wani to see these kinds of cuts occur Jonathan H ay while he is in office and will Opinion glodly wield his veto power. I think Clinton is on the right track by leaving finuncinl old alone. I-le is planning to cut the nmionn l debt in IOycnrs wi1hou1 toking nwny finnnci11I aid. It seems like h might not be possible for Clinton 10 pull it off. but he· s already bee n culling the defi cit down wi1hou1axing nid. In m e,. in 1he time he' s been in office , he's cut the defici1 from S292 billion to S160 billion. Surprisingly enough. the renow ned wnfner. Clin1on. seems to be s1nnding up to Newt and the boys on this issue. lie hos even stared thnl he wi ll gladly use his veto pen if the cuts ore pnssed. I think that Congress is nu:1cking 1he defi cit in a foolish mnnncr, nllhough it defi nitely need~ to be cut. ·n1c )Olution 10 n long-term problem should be a long1cr111 solution. II mnkcs no ~cn,c 10 cut college funding just because the dclicit will be n prohlcm the government is going to hmc 10 f:lcc into 1hc ne>.t ccniury. If people c:tn't gc1n college cduc:ttion. how :ire they going to be educntcd enough to undcNlnnd :incl hclp cut the deficit 10 the futnre'!

I find h intl'rc,1ing that Congress would n1tack nn i,,uc a, imporrnnt a. linancinl nid for students when ncx1 year is nn dcction year. Apparcntly, the GOP feels that ~tudents are so npuihctic nbout voting that they can gct nwny with anything they wa nt concerning fi nnncinl aid. Th:tt doc,n· t mean thnt the Democrm~ nrc the answer. I' m not e,•cn sure if Clinton is serious :ibout educniion. or if he is ju:.t saying whnl he thinks people wnnt to hear. Since then: arc no definhes when politi cs is involved. I hope thnt nil students will pny 011cn1ion to what the cnndidates stand for and the n ge1 ou t and vote. If you want fi noncinl aid to smy nlive in the futu re. find ou t who wnnts to keep it and who's willing 10 cut it nnd vo1c accordingly.

Hunting Dangers: Hunting Dangers: Grubham sees original, defends writer Story choppedup Dear Editor:

Kri s' s article stated facts thnt you would lc.\llm in any hunters· safety class. I found it odd 1h01 you gave Kris' article 10 an editor that has never hunled before. He changed Kris' anicle so much that I don' t understand why it even hod Kri s' name on it. Hoving a non-hunter edit this article is about like having a mill-worker break in a new log truck driver. Even though they work in a related field it doesn't mean that they are capable of doing someone elses job or editing a ank le they know nothing about. Tracie Grubham SlUIISIICS

irst of:ill, I'd like to say when I wrote my Lener to the f.di tor lal>I week. "Hunting Dangers," 11 didn' t mention nll the impanont hunting tip~. I did not mean 10 offend Kris Wilcox. After talking with Kris :md reading his originnl article, I found th~t he hod everything to say that I clid. I thought his original article "Buck Fever" w as very good (~ , did 01hers I showed it 10). Kris told me 1h01the editor said he put 10 much opinion in his anicle. I had my husb:ind and a coup.e of his friends read the original anicle.:"hey am very avid hunters. They didn '1 1hin.k lhat it was opinion 01nil and I agreed. If you would 11ke to call it something, call it experience. The onl y p:irt that was maybe opinion was the pan about veteran hunters relying

Dear Editor: o set the record SU'rught, the original article lh:it Kris Wilcox wrote for I.be Sept. 30 issue of the Senti nel wiu chopped up and wriuen by an editorial staff member who has never hunted in his life. He left ou t nil the imponant tips and Kris was blamed for it. I cannot believe that the Sentinel wou ld not take credit for chopping the article, but would publish an editorilll leuer sayiog that Kris doeS not k.oow the facts.

Story and photos by Tri Nguyen Sr111i11el Reporter The advance publicity for an evening with au1hor Marianne Love on Nov. 9 indicated that those who a11ended should be prepared for a humorous and en1enaining event. II certainly was just that. Love, in 1he company of her harmonica-playing husband Bill, read from her book "Pocket Girdles and Other Confessions of a Nonhwes1 Farmgirl" in 1hc Todd Lecture Hnll as a part of the continuing Nonhwesl Author Series sponsored by 1he NlC Libra ry and Book & Games of Couer d ' Alene. Lo,•e, a Sandpoini native, revisited her childhood and engaged the audience in ac1ivities. Love said 1ha11hc night would be an in1erac1ivc Pocke1Girdles. This involved 1aking four volunteers from 1hc audience and asking 1hem 10 draw a portrait of her wearing a pocke1 girdle and including 1he s1a1c of Idaho in 1he drawing. Bui Love that- Northwest authorMarianne 1hey had 10 do so wi1h 1he piece of paper located on iop o f 1hc ir Love shares excerpts from her book. head. The rest of 1he audience then vo1ed on the best portrait. The winner. Melissa Balch, a former s1udcn1 o f Love al Sandpoin1 High School. won 1hc premiere copy of the second edi1ion of Pocke1Girdles. Pockel Girdles re1ells the talcs of Love as she lived ou1 her childhood in Sandpoint The book also covered her adull experiences and prcscn1 day experiences. Talcs of pencil mutila1ion,. 1igh1 jeans. and bad shoes were read by Love. ·'Kids were ~ligh1ly impish back 1hcn," Love said.·· They were desiined to live cra,.y lives." Love dedica1ed 1he book 10 her mother. Virginia Tubbs , who wn~ ~uffering from cancer a1 the 1ime. To guaran1ee 1hat her mother would receive a copy of 1h..: boo k. Pocl.c1 Girdles was self- published by Love. Her rno1her ha, since recovered from 1hc cancer. The book itself wa, fi nished in June of 1994. inking n year and a half 10 complc1c. An other projcc11ha1 Love i~ working on is a book abou1 1he Farragu1 Naval B.1sc in Couer d'Alene during World War Two.

Get ready, set, doodle by Melody Martz Instant Culture Editor People hnvc always known doodlc.s were undiscovered works of an: now 1hey hove a chance to display them for all the world to see. Whether ii is a personal creation or a trcn5ure brought to Grandma by a budding young arti~,. the Union Gallery hopes people will share them all. "We intend to fill the space with nil types of doodles, siws. 1111d shapes,'' s.'lid Union Gallery Director Allie Vog1. "The point is 10 include everyone and to get them into the gallery." The exhibition will begin Feb. I with an opening recep1ion from 5 - 7 p,m. The exhibition will run 1hrough the month of February with a closing =ep1ion scheduled from 5 - 7 p.m. on Peb. 29. The Union Gallery is located in tht basement of the SUB. Anyone interested in subnuning a doodle i~ encouraged 10 do so regardless of their age. No limiLs are put on the size, shape. color or medium used to create the doodle. Vogt said that even the front of the phone book could be ripped off and submitted. It is a simple matter of attaching the doodle to the entry fonn. according to Vogt. and placing a name on the back of the doodle if return i~ rtquested. Doodles should be submitted to the. Union Gallery by Jan. 19. Vogt said that drop-off boxes will be located around campus as well. Anyone wishing to retrieve their

doodle can do su al the Gallery between 7 - 8 p.m. on closing night. Feb. 2Q, or between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the following day. Vogt said 1h:u she wamcd to give as much advuncc notice a~ po~sible ~o that people could find doodles rather than purposefully creating them. ..Doodles are things you discover you ·ve done when you·ve been miking on !he phone," Vogt said. ··not something you ore going to sit down and artfully produce." ··we don't want people to make a big deal about this," Vogt said. "It ~hould be o simple process." Vogt said that they hope 10 fil11he gallery, creating an "insiallarion." She described installation as a process whereby a display of a collection of individual ideas 1alces on a different meaning a., ooc whole idea. -Doodle~ are as individual as the viewer who Joolts at them, bu1 collectively, they become 90ltlething else," Vo~t said. The focus is not on raising monq for me gaUery, however, if a price is placed on the doodle and is purchased, all proceeds will go to the OaJlery. Vogt eitplained that due to the number of doodJeS eitpected to be submitted and Ille small revenue each might produce, it would not prove cost-effective to try and track commi..sions.

How would you be affected by federal governlllent cuts in financial aid ?

Nate Woolsey, Mechanical Engi11eering : "I wouldn't be able to go to U of I in Moscow or even stay at NIC next semester. The only reason I'm here is because of financial aid."

Ken Sovereign, Business : " I'm paying for school myself now and will be here next semester with or without financial aid, but cuts would definitely affect my transfer to LCSC."

Maggi Britt, Law: " I wouldn't be planning for law school or a transfer to Gonzaga if I couldn't get financial aid."

Michelle Claflin, Music: " Definitely. I wouldn't be able to afford next semester or to transfer to U of I. A scholarship will only cover so much of the costs."

Darlene Boord, Business Communication: "I'm just finishing my degree at LCSC and I lived off loans and aid the last four years. It was the only way for me to live as a single mom with two kids."
