Caryn Davis began collecting ~ignnturc~ for :1 Hall afrcr a former president. The Board of Haught. fom1cr dean of vocational training.

Nom1an L G1,,,d. cha1mmn of 1hc board protest petition requesting that the bo:ml of Trustees. after hcanng compelling speeches Schuler wa~ the only former president of tni~tct, s:ud h.: i~ un,urc how lhc petition mmee, reverse the naming. without a facility bearing his name. And in from bolh the oppo~ition and the ~upponers. ·•1don't think Joyce Doswell'~ name ~hould will uffcct the bo;ird·, dc:CI\IOn light of ;tll he did as the longc\t serving officially n11med rhe room rhe Barry G. Schultr Auditorium.

The College Scnnte. the Fucully As~embly and ASl'IIC all voiced d15upproval of the proposition. saying they felt it would dishonor the memory of Joyce Boswell, a deceased faculty member after whom the building was named. and cause conl"u)1011 on cnmpus and in the community.

"It seems largely unnecessary to name wmething th111 already has a name ... officially or not.'· said ASN IC Prcsidcn1 Kris Stein.

But proponent of the naming. Don Sausser. said the debate was "U5Cd as a curnlys1by the opposition for funhering 1heir own prejudiced positions."

He was referring 10 1he evenl.S leading up 10 a voce of"no conliclence" and Schulcr's ~gna1ion in 1986 af1cr refusing 10 renew journalism instructor Nils Rosdnhl's contract and liring two deans.

During the last ye.11' of his 18,ycar presidency Schuler also asked the grounds crew 10 spend hundreds of exrra dollars beautifying the grounds beside Sicter Hall.

He then used that area for his daugh1er's wedding.

But Sausser said that although Schulcr's acrions may not have been appropriarc, he also went above and beyond the call of duty in his service to the college.

"Was not the prtl>ident's office light frequently burning at midnight on campus?" he asked. "Was the president fully compensated when he entenained dignitaries :u his home? ln these good deeds there was give and lake, not nrrognnt use of power as suggest.eel by the opposition."

Schuler's lisr of nccomplishments includes obcaming funding to erect the Hedlund Building, Sietu Hall, Winton/Post Hall, the l..akC$idc Theater, Lee Hall Annex and photo by Kibbee Walton Boswell Hall itself. He also built the tennis Hold that poseInstructor CeQ Klem pos6S dancer Kelli Silva during a Nutcrad<er rehearsal The NIC Symphonic couns, acquired and renovated NIC's ~h Orchestra and Eugene Ballet Co. performed on Saturday.

It would seem that tilt board's dcci~ion is in viol.uioo of thtir duucs as stattd in lhe NIC policy manual.

The policy manual !>I~ that lhe board is "sub;ect to ... lhe e x ~ wtll of the electorate." "h also s = the board is to consider and act upon ... m111ters or polic)' pcrt3ining to lhe welfare of lhe school." lhe College Senate, Faculty Ae.'iffllbly.

the welfare of the school. W1rh each of ~ groups having sc:nt a lc1tcr 10 the board unanimously opposing lhe auditonum naming, how tht!n could lhe board ra1ionally decide m favor of a fonncr board member and a handful of hand,picked community mcmbe~?

The boon:l's decision to honor a man whose final crusade was a dehberal.: a~mpc to infringe upon our Constirutiooal righU of fn:cdom of ~ h Wlll freedom of lhe pit!~ l' irresponsible.

Registration all finished? ... Think again Call me crazy. bur I gel a charge out of reading the NIC class schedule.

I know...! can see your eyes rolling from here. Por

most conlinuing students, regis1ra1ion on O..>c. 5 nnd 6 wns jus1 anolher one of those hMsles on the way 10-op1imis1ically ~-peaking-gening started in your carccr.

Of course. thnt assumes you hnvc an idea of where you are going. It also assumes thnt your choice of classes amounted to more 1han a random stroll through the pages of the schedule.

Random s1rollcrs. quit reading here. Although we chose our cla~ses in nbout the same way, whoever foots 1hc bill for your education has spent hours trying to purge these ideas from your brain.

If your finMcier saw this column... wcll, they would probably find me and choke me.

Don't ge1 me wrong. I'm not advocating the random Rulh Carapella s1roll approach as the best Pont.ifte.ation method for selec1ing classes.

I really 1hink it's great if you arc one of those dcdicn1ed studenrs who has dutifully chosen a major. More power to you if you arc plunking away at completing the classes you need to move you closer 10 your goals.

But. don't s1op there.

You see. I've been there. Did it. I even worked in the ··chosen career" for 14 years. The thing is, It never felt like a cnreer. It nlwnys felt like II job.

You can'1 imaginc--wcll maybe you can. I suspect there arc mnny NIC students like me. Are you on your second or third Cllrecr'l Anyway, picture yourself driving the same road, the same rime of day, thinking about working with the same people. doing the same rhing that you did yesterday, and the day before, and the day before 1ha1. and ...

You get the picture.

1l1e thing is. I picked a Cllrcer because it seemed like a good idea. I would look 1hrough the cou~e c:unlog and sec lots of exci1ing and interesting classes. Trouble was, 1hey wcrcn 't in lhc righr major. So I didn't rake them.

Sun:. the classes 111 rny mojor were OK. I didn'I ge, bored. But where wos the pas.~ion?

11 ·s nice to make a decent living. Believe me though, you can lire of a deccnr living. You never 1ire of 1>~sion. h's a my,1criou~ 1hing; when you do what you love, the money comes.

So if you've alr.:ody rcg1s1crud. mke nno1her look 111 1h01 cn1alog. I mean really look nl 1ha1 rnmlog. You still h1we plenty of time to add a clns~...or drop one for 1ha1 matter.

If you will register on Jnn. 10 or 11. spend some umc over the holid11ys rending about clas.,;cs. Docs your hewt skip n beat when you think of the possibilities of knowing more abou1 bacteriology or electronics? Whnt about an or photography? If there's a subjec1tha1 interests you. seek i1 out.

Let your mind wander with the possibilities Thumb 1hrough each P3@.C and sign up for something wild, cm.Ly and fun.

Go ahead. Ge1 cxci1cd.

The tir.,1- pince winner wns Michucl P. Berry for ..One Fatal Shol"'; the second· place winner wns Ma,•is Wallace for .. Abe''; the third· place winner wns Rnndy Smi1h for "A Hick?"; the honorable mcniion wns Judy Spclde for ··Grandma.·· The winners received cash awards for their essays. Firsl place was awarded S60. second place $40 and third pince $30.

Applknnls submiucd 1heir essays Nov. 20 10 their English instruc1ors.

According 10 essay commiucc member nnd English ins1ruc1or Dan Erlncher, 1he main idea of lhc contcsl is 10 nward ca~h 10 lhc winners and 10 publish 1heir work.

This con1es1 is held each scmesicr. and the winning entries arc published in n book cnUcd ··s1udem Essays... Anyone intcrcsicd in the publicntioas from this or any 01hcr year can locate them in the library.

Erlacher said thal he would like the essay con1cs110 be visible beyond the English dcp:u1mcnt, even 10 the possibility of gelling the community involved in discussing lhe wri1er's ideas.

For the firsl time. this yeM's comest

winners were given 1hc opponunity 10 do ju~t 1hn1. These four wriiers wil l be featured in 1onighl's Wri1ing Aloud.

In addiiion, Jova on Shemmn and The Bookseller arc being considered by 1he commincc for off-campus readings of 1hc essays.

Firsi- place winner Berry entered his essay in order 10 share his experiences in the Gulf War with readers.

"I wanted to lc1 people know in 1he U.S. 1hn1 the war was not clean cut," Berry said.

"The 1raged ies were no diffcrcm from 01hcr wars; it jus1didn'1 las1 as long."

According to Berry. 1he media didn'1 ponray 1he combat tru1hfully. He said 1hc U.S. government was trying 10 keep the Gulf image less fa1al in order to keep 1hc suppon of the soldiers. Berry said tha11hc suppon of 1hc American people was equally importan1 10 1hc soldiers.

Berry was in the Anny for three years. His suppon pla1oon worked on clec1ronic cquipmcn1 and was told that they would be nowhere near the from line. ''In Iraq, we sown 101more comba1 1hnn we were led to believe," Berry said."War is war: it's ugly any way you look al it."

Hyped os the reunion or Wesley Snipes ond Woody Harrelson. "Money Train" delivers the expected dosages or oc1io11. sex and dysfunctional family relations.

We,lcy i, os swec1 as ever in lhc bedroom and under 1he s1rec1. In 1his movie he proceed, 10 kid, a lot of butt wi1h a 101or nair. Or course'his nc1ing does11'11op his perfonnnncc in "To Wong Foo..." bu1 ii was s1ill good.

Newcomer Jenni fer Lopez hold~ her own ngnms1 1hc bro1hcrs in 1he ring nnd on 1hc dance noor. Ht r chnrnc1cr adds roman1ic ronnicl 10 1he movie (both hro1hcrs want to have her children), and she proves 10 hnvc cojones.

Movies to Watch:

'Money Train' on track Plot recap: Two fos1er bro1hcrs, one who has a weakness for gambling and one who has a weakness for bailing ou1his bro1her, arc 1rami1 cops in New York Ci1y. Af1cr a few less lhan pleasani run· ins wilh 1he head of 1hc 1rnnsi1 sys1cm. 1he lirsi bro1her decides to rob 1hc "money 1min" which carries 1hc money from the 1011 booths 10 1he bank! TIie train is heavily guarded. and 1here is a shooHO·kill policy if anyone even looks n11he 1rain 1he wrong way. Once again, the second bro1hcr comes 10 1he rescue as he tries 10 keep the olhcr from committing u crime he will regret

Woody plays the loser bro1her 10 pcrfcc1ion: n role 1hn1he docsn·1 seem 10 need 10 reach 1ha1 deep 10 !ind. His being a gambling addicl and the foci 1h01 he won '1 slop 1aking ndvnn1agc of his bro1her makes him a pa1hc1ic charac1cr who ju\l docsn ·1 get my sympn1hy vote.

The oc1ion scenes in 1his movie are well done if no1original. Like Shannon says. you will probably recognize 1hem. The scene where Wesley and Jennifer nre boxing is really cffcc1ivc. It's no1 oflcn you sec 1he main characters who arc of different sexes trading punches without there being an abusive background going on.

I found " Money Troln" 10 be cn1cnaining. and i1 got the old ndrcnnlinc nowing. So I'll give this bnby th ree feet. bt:::i,b

Ok. I admit ii. I'm almos1as bad aboul drooling over Wesley Snipes us S1cphanic is nbou1Antonio Bnndems. bul 31 lcn~I 1hc movies 1ha1 Snipe~ arc in 1um ou1 to be good nicks. No110 say I would sec a movie s1ric1ly becau~ Wesley Snipes is in ii, but let\ just say he has a cenain draw abou1him. In nny case. I was not disappoin1cd.

Ac1ion lilms seem to he nil 1hc rage 1his season. and "Money Train" hold~ its own among lhc compcti1ion. TI1c fighl scenes urc some of 1he bes1 1·ve seen. nnd 11:urelson and Snipes arc a duo 10 be reckoned with. TIiey have greo1cltenmlry and perform comedic rou11ncs smoothly.

II is a fun, entenaining movie 10 watch. and 1hc nc1ion will keep you on the edge of your scat.

Despi1c i1·~ good poinL~. lhis movie has some shon-comings ruso. TIie ending is sure 10 give you "Speed" flashbacks. 1 guess someone thought 1ha1 if it worked for one movie ii would work for ano1hcr.

Whal they need 10 do is change 1hc scene just a little ( I 1hink I sow Snndrn Bullock).

The plol seems 10 have some holes in it, nnd I recall a ccnnin charncter thn1could hove used a little more developing. Groce San1ingo. played by newcomer Jennifer Lopez, had po1cntinl bu1 was mainl y used for n fnnms1ic sex scene with Snipes (now 1here was some chemislry) nnd a little con nict between lhc love-struck brothers.

I think we will be seei ng more of her ~oon.

There is somc1hing about a good bad guy 1hn1 make, a movie. Unfonuna1cly, 1herc is also some1hing nbou1a no1 so good bad guy 1hat can ruin n movie.

The evil chnmc1cr in "Money Trnin" is 1hc despicnblc 1mnsi1 nu1hori1y chief.

TI1ough lus obsession w11h his precious money 1rnin makes for some humorous scenes. he 1s ,o mcnn nntl nasty ii crosses 1hc line. Even bud gu}S need some iact, nnd 1his creep ha, none. lt makes tum cnsy to h111c but hard 10 believe.

All snid nnd done. I give 1his one a generous three feel

Q. Who or wh:11 in Ouenced you to become in,oh•ed in bnskctboll '!

Kirk: No one renlly inOucnced me. I've just alwuys played ba~kctball since 1wa, 5 yenr; old. We used to live by a linle schoolyard. I used 10 shoot there. It had no net nnd all 1hnt krnd of stuff but no one really influenced me: I've JUSt always have loved the game. I never watched ir on TV or anything, just got o basketball and went out and played.

Q. What made you decide to come to North Idaho College?

Kirk: I left at Nonhcm Arizon:1 and I have 10 sit out ill o junior college to get my Division I eligibility bnck.

I was goi ng 10 go 10 Spokane Falls.

I wos recruited by Junior colleges Central Florida.

Ven1ura College and Spokane Falls then Jennifer Kem~. a girl 1bn1 plays at Washington State now. mentioned Greg Crimp 10 me. so I called him and he offered a full ride so I decided 10 come here.

I wanted 10 play a higher level 1hun community college. which is1un1orcollege ball, so 1hn1's how l ended up here. Now I live in Hayden so it'\ only n 20· minute drive.

Q. Ho11 doe, Norlhern Arlzonn co11111nre with North Ida ho Coll ege'!
