Tuition won't be raised for next semester.

Campus News Board drops requested tuition raise

by Edward Francis Stmmel Refl(mtr The board or 1ru,1ces met 10 discuss tuition and rces increase, the nthletic ~urvey result~. tenure. moving expense policy and air condilioning for the g)•m on Wednesday, March 18.

The boord decided not to mcrcase tuition and rec, for students artcr hearing the recommendation by Prc.<.1dcnt Rohen Bcnneu.

"I thank that we should be conservative this year and not ask for a tuition and recs incre.1.>c:," Bcnncu said.

11115 docs not affect the S20 increase an rcg1s1ra11on fees that the student body approved for the remodel or the Student Union bu1ld111g.

Jim Headley. a1hlc11c director. prc,cnted the rc\ult\ or the women·~ tnhlctic survey.

The ~urvc) wa, dim1butcd 10 t11gh ~chool "omen thrt1ughou1 .1rca nnd to women at the

college. Nearly 1000 high school women wen: surveyed on the five spons that they would prcfor. golf. soccer. sortball. tennis and Other.

The results in pcrccntogcs were as follows: golr 6.7. soccer 26.4. softball 31.2, tennis 18.6 and Other 17.0. 317 college women answered; golr 7.9. soccer 30.3, softball 33.4. tennis 14.2 and other 14.2.

Headley recommended that softball be added at this ttmc. but also added that he thinks that ~cer is on the rise in the region.

The board of trustees unanimously approved Mcadley's rccommcndotion so that a new coaching staff could be hired nnd players recruited 1n time for next foll. It wa~ al~o agreed thnt women·~ soccer be added as a club spon on camp~.

Ten instnactors arc up for tenure and 11 up for rcncwnl of tenure breathed a sigh of rchcr as the board gave us approval for all 21 in\tructori;.

Benneu responded to a recent ru1icle in one of the area newspapers thnt crtticized the tenure policy as being one 1h01 isn ·1 foir.

"They're saying that once the instructors has obtained tenure, the instructor is no longer subject to evaluations. and 1h01 just isn't true."

Benneu said.

According to Bennett, the school has a policy chat the instructors nrc evnluared on 11 regular basis even after rh ey have been granted tenure.

Also di scussed was o moving expense policy. The board approved a proposal that would help pay some of the cost for newly hired inst ructors who have to move 10 lhts nrca from another.

The last item up for discussion wn~ funding for air conditioning in the Christiansen Gymnasium. The cost for the system incrca~ over the original estimate of Sl25.000 to $135.000.

Board members said they were reluctant 10 spend the money on a new system when thcrt migh t be Other resources on campus that would beuer benefit from the money.

"We have lasted the last few years wi1hou1 it (ai r conditioning). and I don't sec ii as 1 high priority on the list of things that need 1o be done," Steve Widmeyer. board member. said.

One of rhe places on campus that might receive the money originally intended for the air conditionang may be the new children's center.

Steve Schenk, Foundation member, sJid that if rhc money were put into the childrcn'i ccrucr. the foundation might be nble to foot the rc~t of the bill. Bennett said that this would be on c,cellent u\C of rhe money. but it i, ,ubJCCt to the opprovnl of the Pnrk~ and Rccrcn1ion office thJt originally approved the money for the gym.

Friendship u~idc. Headley said Whi1com b wos hired because of his

familiarily with NIC's program, his high srnndards nnd desire to keep wrestling.

Whitcomb was Owen's recommendation for 1hc position.

Whitcomb's rela1ion wi1h NlC began in the foll of 1985 when he joined 1he Cardino! wrestling 1eom. Thot year was 1he firs1 of four s1raigh1 NJCAA championships for NlC: Whi1comb won the 190-po und individual nati onal titles in 1986 and 1987.

Wi1h 1hc guidance or Owen. Whi1comb ho~ s1ancd somc1hing he's never really h:id 10 do: recruit.

'Tm confidenl in 1he learn. and I'm confident 1h01 John Owen is s1ill going 10 be around," Whi1comb said. "If he wa5 going 10 be lca,•ing 10101ly, I don ·1 know if this wou Id have been 1hc job for me: I have u 10110 learn."

Owen announced his ret 1rcme nt from 20 years of coaching Mnrch 10. bu1 will s1ny on campus a1 lensl one more year 10 1each and keep in con1ac1 wi1h lhc wrestling program.

Whi1comb said he docs no1 feel any pressure laking over for Owen.

"No one cxpec1s anyone to replncc John Owen,'' he said. "If he wa, mediocre. there would !have been a Im of prc,surc 10 do the

same. I 1hink he 100k a lot 01 1he prcs$urc off being so ~uccessful."

Bui 1h01 doesn·1 mean Whi1comb doesn ·1 expect the Cardmab 10 continue 1heir champ1onsh1p repum11on.

Rodman given Exploring Anasazi territory Outdoor Pursuits backpacks into Utah wilderness no reverence here is some1hmg Lhn1jus1 abou1every American hos in common- a s1rong opinion obou1 Dennis Rodman.

Some people love him and his oullMdish actions. but mo<,t people C3/l ·t siand 1Jie guy. I think he's a joke, a very amusing Joke:.

Think uboul II Rodman, The Worm. goes from :in amusing player on 1he Detroit P1\1ons' champion\hip roster 10 ou1n1geo11s mnrketing phenomenon of I.he decadr. lie dido ·1just suddenly mum1e into llus "rare breed." The Wom1'~ ltllllsfom1a11on occum:d gradually.

He 1es1cd 1he media by doing oM bizarre aniic and observing socie1y's reoc1ion. We laichcd on 10 him. seeing him as different and amusing.

We did n ~imilar Lhing with Madonnn and Michael Jackson, and 1hey 100 were ridiculed when we felt 1hat 1hcy went 100 far.

Is Rodman going too far? l..'3t's see. He's expressed interest Chris JuhUn in bi-sexuality, cross-dresses, Opinion kicked n cameraman where ii counis and st.o.rred in whn1 some say is "quite possibly l11e mos1 fanwtically bnd movie of the year."

Look a1 whtll brings home his bacon: baskc1ball. 1l1a1 's what he is, n baskc1baU player. and nrguably one of 1hc gre:11es1 reboundcrs of all Lime. He's made rebounding an an.

This hos been mammothly overshadowed by his appearances on I.he Howard Siem Show, his erotic dates wiih I.he queen of pop. his wardrobe and his "awkward but definitely lively" acting career.

Remember when Rodman had a regular afro? If I remember conectly. he was a real person with a wife. a daughter (whose name was shaved into h~~ 'fro) and o seemingly norm31 life.

He was just The Wonn, kind of llkc one of ihose earth worms you sec on the street after a rainy day. Now he· s an c~o1ic worm from a diffcttnt plane,. We don't know whether to sit and s1are in amusement or censor his outland ish acts in foar 1hat more and more people might start acting like him.

If everybody ha1es Rodman so much, why do I see bis face plasicred on every television and magazine io the country?

That's easy. We want to hear about odd and peculiar people, and we want to know what makes ihem tick. The media has been following Rodman for years now, and many still wonder what's going on inside his colorful head.

I have a pretty good idea or what makes him rick. 11·1 that ~ n stuff we call money. He may not look or act smart. but he is when It COOIC$ to fame and fonunc.

I used to sympathize with Rodman because 1 felt he was just being himself. But lhc more I see of him, lhc more I realize that the oipple<upa and lipstick are merely a mask dw be wean. If he did Ibis on screen that would be one thing. but his life ii just an act.

Critic, of his new movie say he is a terrible actor, bUI I thiolc he's a vety good actor. Hia eotire life (u of about 1992) hu ~ an act. and a very profilable one at that.

President Robert Bennett depicted Sir Thomas More, a prominent English statesman and author of "Utopia," o fi ctional place where all men and women :ire equal. 1here are no societal classe~ ond everyone share s equal wcahh and work. More also spoke out agnmst I ulcrs amassing wealth :11 the expense of the common man.

Lord Chancellor More later fell out of grace with King Henry VIII becuuse More would not acce pt the Kin g's marriage to Ann Bolin. He was sent to prison on a trumped-up charge. and Inter beheaded. The Catholic Church acknowledged More 's work when he was canoni1.cd as a saint.

Norm Gissel portrayed William Wllburforcc, a philanthropis t and European abolltionibt who lived in the time of'fnomn~ Jcflcr.;on. li1s cflons 10 hani~h slavery in Enghind and abroad were often thwarted. Proponents sough1 10 end 1hc slave trade gradually. but Wllburforcc felt strongly that if England were to 1mmcdi111cly eliminate slavery, 11 would misc the moral fabric

of society. Three days before his death in 1883, slavery was eliminated in England and the entire British Empire.

Speech instructor Mona Klinger enacted th e character of Josephin e Bu1ler, who wos born in n time when women were not educated or allowed to vote. lier family was abolitionist, nnd she beca me a champion of the downtrodden. She especially helped the cause of the pros1i1u1cs of England. causing the "Contagious Disease ActS" of 1866 and 1872 10 be repealed. These ac ts compelled women, who were forced into prostitution because of poverty. 10 undergo severe and cruel accusations and examinations. u~unlly ending in banishment or slavery. She also worked for the aboli~hment of brothels and other moral plngues of society of her time.

Conservationist explores canyons, rivers, dam sites

by Summer Lindenberg Stnti11el Repnrttr History spln~hed i1110 the future with the ponraynl of John Wcslc)' Powell, American cxplorc:r. by Clay J~nkin~on. Ph.D. The Popcorn Forum opened April 7 with vi\•id dcst'riptions of Powell's wild cxplora11ons of the Color:ado River Canyon.

De~pitc losing one am, in the Civil War, the Colorado River Canyon was but one of Powell's great adventure~. He 1001. on mnny 01hcr natural bamcr.. such a~ the Gn.-cn River and the Rocky Mountain~. In this prc,cn1n1ion.

1hou[\h. Powell focu~cd on hi, trinl~ and tnbuln11on, m the Colorado River Cnn)OO. which included death, hunger and

extreme danger.

Powell, accompanied by 11 other men. wos financed by the Smithsonian lns1i1u1ion 10 explore the Colorado River Canyon in 1869.

He and his men set out on the river in wooden boats carrying food. a Jug of whiskey-which was hidden on a boa1--and sc1cniific tools 10 mco~ure the

canyon depth and for navigation.

Halfway through the trip, one of their scouts had overlooked some oncoming rapids. which were 100 large for the sm11ll wooden boots. The lead boat went crashing down the roaring rapids with no warning and crumbled like crackers ngninst the steep canyon wall. The three passengers bailed out just in 1ime and somehow stayed above water until they could be pulled into the surviving boa!S. Some of the men went 10 salvage mn1crial from the wreckage, but they came back after finding only the jug of whiskey.

Whiskey had been forbidden on the trip, but Powell let ihe men dnnk into a drunken stupor. hoping that they would relax after their ho.rrowing expenence.

Powell and his men reached the end of the Colorado River Canyon and went on 10

explore the Green River.

Later in his life, Powell became a water ac1ivis1. lecturing about the amount of water that could actually be used in 1he world. Powell strongly believed 1h01 if society misused the Eanh's water. they soon would dry up all water sources. If all wa1er was gone, lands would become barren. amd people would die because of their own greed. According 10 Powell, this explains why Egypt went from a country with lush vcgeuuion 10 a dcscn.

Many people disagreed \I, ith Powell and kept overusing water sources. According 10 Powell. someooy water will run out.

Jcnkin,on did an unbclie,•able JOb of portraying Powell n1 the Popcorn Forum.

I hope people will listen 10 Powell and honor our country·, water supplies: maybe he mode some sense.

Saying sorry is difficult task ··rm wrry··... Sevcn l.::nr~ nnd an opo,1rophe 1hn1 mon: peopfo hnvc trouble snymg 1han ~upcrcatifragil1\11cc,peadndocioic,.

Elton John had 11 right when he "Hng ··Surry St.'Cm~ 10 be 1hc Hardest Word." Why is 11 so'! I hnvcn·1 qui1e figured 1h01 OUI. If till of us would learn ro sny that simple phrase n bi1 more freely. and mean 11, 1his world would be n much pn:ILier place 10 ca II home.

However. 100 many folks our there nre like me. Pride dic101es their behavior. So many times in my life, pride really hos come before the fall. and so much of i1 could Debora Tice have been avoided 1rI Opinion would have simply srud, ··1 nm ~orry:· uaming 10 say "I'm sorry·· has been one of the hardesl ll/ld most dnlwn-ou1 lessons of my life. I 1hink. however, that I nm finally gelling there. I nm arriving at rhe conclusion-albci1 slowly, that admitting 1ha1 I was wrong is OK. I won ·t be 11ny less of II person in anyone's eyes. The knowledge thal saying "I'm sorry" takes a bigger person 1han it does to walk awny and say nothing is finally finding Its way into my mind.

Saying sorry does no1 1ukc away from us as individuals; it adds 10 our chmcter and our Sl:nse of well-being. Ii enables us 10 open our minds and our hearts and 10 view the world from a different peNpee1ive. Being able to admit wrong-doing and own up 10 our misukcs allows us the freedom 10 ennch our lives, our marriages. friendships. business associa1ions and every other relationship no matter how grand or minute.

Saying sorry adds substance to our liver-it matters not that we did wrong: we are all apt to make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what adds substanee to our person. Someone who is unable to say "I'm sorry" is missing much of lhe point. How we shoulder responsibility is something that matters on every level of life. If. as a pa.rent, I can never say "I'm sorry·· to my children. how can I expect that Ibey will learn 10 say sorry 10 others? Making mistakes is not what matters: owning up to our mistakes, shouldering the responsibility thar wa.~ somehow ours and carrying on is what adds to our character.

We need to say that saying sorry doesn't take away: it adds. We are human. We are OK. Saying "I'm sorry" opens doors and windows to other peoples' hearu and souls. It is a glimpst at life lha.t we will never get if we can nevu learn to say "I'm sorry."

Who is to be blamed for this rrend'l We are very concerned about n student body that doesn't seem 10 be concerned nbour who or "ha1 is spending it~ money Whal is 1he rause of nil this npnthy? Is ii 1hm NIC is n community college where people simply have ~lier 1hings 10 do with 1heir lime 1han become involved?

The non-tradi1ionnl s1udents on campus hnve linle time to become involved wi1h e~1ra-curriculnr college ac1i,•ilies wiili all 1heir 01her commi1mcn1s. These s1udents are unlike ~1uden1s m a four-)e:ir uni1crsi1y. S1Ud<n1s here ha\·e fulllime jobs, families nnd many 01her responsibilities. Mos, s1uden1~ an~nd dnsses only patHime, 1hen rush off 10 work or to picl. up 1helr children from d:iy care.

For 1hc rcs1 of lhe s1uden1s. mosr are only here for 1\1.0 years. In. ou1 end of srory. Those who p:inicip:nc in the votech pro2r:ims ha\·e very s1renuous. cornpac1ed schedules 1hn1 le3ve liulc room for ou tside nc1ivi1ies. We could com~

up wi1h excuses all day long, bu1 could 1hcrc be ano1her reason?

Could i1 be 1ha1 there is no message 10 be heard? How many posters \\Cre pu1 up ,1nnouncing rhe clec1ions'! How many of 1he candidates actively campaigned and really got our 1hcrc? Of course. 1here were speeches delivered by cnndidn1es, bu1 how many s1uden1s were actually reached?

One could argue abou1 whether ASN IC keeps a low profile on purpose or if 1he campus is riddled wi1h 3plllhy, bu1 the edi1ors of 1he Seniinel propose a solu1ion.

If ASNIC would coincide iLS elections wi1h 1he Sen1inel's deadlines, wc could run cnndida1e profiles. cover debates and help get 1he word out for everyone 10 gel involved. The Sentinel is one of 1he \'Oicl'S of the s1udents. ii is our job 10 inform s1uden1s abou1 what is happening on campus 3nd help lhem make informed decisions.

ASN IC didn'1 even spread 1he word enough lO draw candida1es for every office. Now, one of the sophomore senators will be chosen by applications submiued to Presiden1-Elec1 Renee Sco11.

If ASNIC and 1he Sentinel worked 1oge1her, we feel "e could ger more involvement on bolh froms-perhnps a wider \'ariety of candida1es 10 choose from and a more infonned. involved electorate to pnnicipate.

Melodles- Terry Jones conducts ·Banding Together" on April 12.

by Shannon Horwood Semintl Reporter NIC's spring concen once agnin brough1 1oge1her 11s symphonic band and the Spokane Fnlls Community Band for a celebm1ion of music Sa1urday.

April 12 in the Bo$wcll Hall Audi1orium.

The groups perfom1ed a selcc1ion of songs scpar.uely and 1hen performed 1wo songs 1oge1her.

The Spokane Falls Community Band conduc1ed by Pnul Halvcrsen, performed first, beginning and ending wish sclec1ions by composer John Williams. Both songs were composed for movie.s. lhe laser one being from 1he movie "Far and Away" starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

All four pieces were

performed well, bu1 my favorite was the first song, "The March from ' 1941. "' It fea1urcd 1hc 1rombone sec1ion and had a very au1hori1a1ive sound 10 it. It w11s high-energy and SFC band played ii very well. Their pcrfomu1.11cc aho included an nrmngemen1 of "Am11zing Groce." by Frank Ticheli and "Symphony No. 3 for Band" by Viuorio Giannini.

Wilh only a small break in the 11c1ion for the stage crew 10 prep;ire for the en1mnce of NIC's Symphonic Band.and codi=uctor Terry Jones. His group is smaller in ~iie and required less chairs and stands. NIC took the singe.

The firi;t song they performed.

"Finale from 1he ·New World Symphony,... tran~cribed by Erik W. G. Leiclun, was very enjoyable. It was my person11l

favorite because of lhe lenglh and vona1ion of 1empo and (ea1ured instruments. NIC also performed "Rocky Point Holiday," by Ron Nelson and concluded wish '11lird Suite for Band" by Alfred Reed.

After their individual performances. 1hese 1wo bands took this rare opponuni1y to join together and perform two more pieces, ··Cajun Polk Song Sui1e"

by Frank Ticheli and "A Copland Tribu1c," adap1cd by Clare Grundman.

Halvcsen conduc1cd the firsl song, which turned ou1 to be a real crowd pleaser. and Jones conducted 1he final piece which ended the performance perfectly.

I have always been a Copland fan. and Grundman's arrangcmen1 ~eemed 10 fil 1he two bands nicely.

Brust comes through with fantastic tale Characters make story real for readers imagination

by Edward Francis Stntmrl Rc•porttr Steven Bru~t hos created un epic piece of fantasy litcmture with his latest book. "500 Year:, Af1er."

In thb f:1nta,y genre books. the author tokes advantage of using a first-person point of view. It is written from the view of a historian. Paorfi of Roundwood, who has taken tt upon himself to write a historically correct romance ond adventure novel.

Brust found an intcrcs1ing angle of writing the book by using Paarli a~ the narrator. He allowed himself the ability of giving the readers hints of what ,~ going to happen wi1hout telling them.

People familiar with his other works such as .. Jhereg," "Ycndi:' "Tcckln,.. ·1'altos." "Phocni x, ..

"Orea.. and "The Phoenix Guards.. will recognize the world Dragacra 1s the Silflle as in his previous

novels. Avid readers may re.cogni1.c that the setting is 500 years af1cr the end of the book "The Phoenix Guards:· hence the nnmc of the book.

In ··500 Years After" the main character.

Khaavren, is the captain of the guards and personal body guard of the reigning emperor. He's no longer the impetuous youth that he was in "The Phoenix Guards·· and is working away his middle-age tn quiet complacency.

One night an unsuccessful attempt is made on his life, and !Several successful attemp1s are made on the lives of people who arc important to the empire.

Khawvren takes ii upon himself. with the emperor's pem1ission, to find ou1 wha1 1s going on.

He employs the help of his three friend!> who were also in "The Phoenix Guards:· In Lhe city no1 only is there someone who is killing off important people. but there is also an uprising by the peasants. OuLSide of the city walls a

rebellion 1s brewing with the ~ccond mOM powerful person m the empire at its head. It is up to Khaavren and friends to find out 1f the insiunces are related and t.ry to put II stop 10 1hem.

Brust creates personable character<; 1ha1 the reader cares about. It is easy to relate to 1he predicaments that the main characters ge t into while hoping that they will remain safe.

The author presents the language of the people in this ficuonal place. brca1hmg some real life into the characters and the setting. The language adds tlavor by using such phrases as '"The Dog! I think that I have been asking nothing else for an hour!"

Phrases like this signify that the person 1s done with pleasantries and wants an answer righ1 now.

This book was a truly enjoyable piece of writing. I encourage anyone who wants to read this novel to go out and read a few of Brust·s other novels first . The dry humor in his writing takes some getting used to. but is wonh it in the end.
