Apricot Jam headlines ASNIC Fest Zookeepers open show; club participation is main event

SN IC kicked of Lhc new

, ohool year wiLh a free concen on Friday. Sept. 13.

The eoncen was open 10 the community and featured acoustical guitl\l'\, harmonica playing and an n cappela group.

The concen , wh ich drew near 200 people, was held from 3 10 9 p.m. in Fon Sherman Park and despite the weathe r forecas t, remained dry.

David Lindsay, dean of students , Sllid. ''The weather limi ts the crowd 10 lhose who really want 10 be there.

Those trying to make a decision wQu(d opt for indoor enten a inment."

The headliner for the early evening concen wa~ Apricot Jam, a "psycho-acou~tic-organic-boogicrock band" lhat hllS been touring the Wo:,t Coast for the last four years.

Based m Albuquerque, N. M., the band ha~ establ ished itself as one of the region· ~ funkiest players of its own mi x of rock, folk, funk , blues and jnu..

The show was opened by the l.ookeepers, who believe that when you hear the ir name yo u shoul d think, "it's a party."

Afte r an entertaining set by Jim "Bossman" Brown, a local talent, the o cappela group M-Pact perfo rmed a variety of musical styles.

Food at the event was prepared by volunteering club me mbers, which. through a program instituted this year

by ASNIC were c redited at a rate of $8 per volunteer hour.

"It gave clubs a great opponunity to sec what Lhis year's ASNIC is about and bow the two entities can work together," said Chris Aller, ASNIC vice president.

Clubs taking advantage of this

oppo nunity we re Lhe Sailing C lub, Publications Club, Engineering Club.

Rodeo Club. Phi Theta Kappa, Marine Mechanics a nd the Self Defense Club. ·• I was pleased with the part icipati on of the club members in he lping organi ze 1he event ," Alle r said.

Accord ing to Renee Sco11. oc1ivi1ies di rector, 1he cost for the eveni ng was about $5,500: $3,000 to the bands. $1,500 to li ghts and sound and S 1.000 for advertis ing. " I thi nk the bands did an excellent job. I was a liule d isappoi nted with the an endnnce, but cons idering the weather I think ASNI C Fest went well," Sco11 snid.

The majori ty of the s how was covered on a live remote by KHTQ 's own Happcnin ' Harrison Wood .

Concer- goer Kyle McCormick snid . "The ASNI C Fest was a fun way to let your hair down and shake your booty a little. t hod a gooood lime."

Denn Bennc11, s tudent activities director. said, "l't was a great program. The choices o f bands were we ll received by all."

The Coeur d ' Ale ne Police Department did show up a couple times-once to inform ASNIC President Ne il Weber that a complaint had been filed about the volume.

Another vis it by the police was at c an,pus security's reques t. An individual apparently did not get the message that the Pest is a "drug free" event and persistently auempted to return.

Lindsay summed up the evening saying, "I love large student activities that are centered around the music and not the bar scene."

It was also a chance for N!C s1udents and

An a1rp1Bne departed Spokane on Sept.

16. 1996, at 7:30 a.m .. that was boarded by some of NIC's own. Their mission?

To take part in an academic and cultural cxch3ngc of ideas and performances wi1h NIC's sister college Chung Cheong College in Chung-Ju, Chung-Bu~. Korea.

The two colleges have been s1s1cr colleges since May 9, 1995.

Two separa1e groups of ~tudents from Chung Cheong college made the Journey 10 NIC and northern Idaho. B01h groups were 20 or more and stayed for one mon1h. This was an opportunity for CCC 10 return the hospllality and friendship the

staff to partake of a culture in a capacity that most have never known.

Eight people associa1ed with N(C went 10 Korea for various reasons. President Dennen wu 10 have made the mp, however a Sme Board of Educauon meeting 100k precedence over 1he Korean adventure. His wife, Donna, officially represen1ed bo1h President Bennell and NIC. giving his speech and 1ak1ng his place 11 all func1ions Kim Mogen was offered President Benneu·s 1icke1 and 100k 1he oppor1unily 10 collaboraie on a friendship quilt between the two colleges.

ASN!C President Neil Weber was issued a personal invita1ion by the s1udent body president of CCC while he was at N!C in July of this year. His wife Vanessa was able 10 accompany him on this tnp.

Student Joe Hooper applied for 1he trip over summer semester and was gran1ed this opportuni1y Three studen1s-- 01 Braun. Michelle Clanin and Melody Hess·· were chosen to perform in lhC! celebration of Korea's freedom from Japan. The celebration in known as the WolGang Fcslival.

Board of trustees purchases land in Post Falls

by Ed Francis und Richord Le Francis Stnti11~/ Repo1U$ The board or~tec~ unnnimously appro,·cd an optaon to purchnsc up to J 1.4 adduionru ocres nenr the Workforce Tmining Center in Post Falls Aug. 28.

Sue Thilo. board or trustees member, announced that Norm Sowards, Jnck Beebe.

Steve Meyer and John Hippler- the directors of the NJC Founda11on--cxprcsscd an interest in conducting a study for long-range lnnd acquisition Thi lo said that their intention would be 10 help Lile school plan for 11S future by purcha.ing land now thnt may be 100 expensive or unavailable m the ru1urc.

Board members discussed that NIC is too small for the amount of students and lhc college hos to look at what the situation may be like in IO years.

The relocation or Lewis and Clark State

College back 10 lhc NIC campus. n successful summer progmm and campus security were some of the other subjects discussed nt the mcc11ng.

Also on the ngcndn wns a proposal by Dr. Jim Hn101s, president of Lewis and Clnrk State College. LCSC currently hns an extension office in the downtown Coeur d. Alene an:a, but would like 10 move a 3,000 sqare foot modular building onto the NIC campus.

AIU1ough an exact location wns not spccilicd, one of the possibilities discussed was behind the old officer's qunners near the 1cnnis cou11~. lflhc proposal is approved by the board LCSC would not be responsible for paying rent to the college for the spnee, but it would be responsible for utilities.

There was concern by Lhc board membc~ about parking spaces taken up by the building, the s1arr and the odditionnl students.

President Bob Bcnncu said "We don' t

hnvc nny more parking :· Dr. Hntois replied 1hat parking shouldn' 1 be nn issue because mnny of the Mudents n11ending LCSC (:,'( tension course.~ arc current students at NIC. Bennou said 1h01 hnving LCSC on emnpus would incrca.~c the chances of NIC obmining n granl for a new high-tech center on the campus.

In a separate rcpon, the Director of Extended lnmuctional Progmms Lindtt Silva, discussed the summer school session. During the summer 723 s1uden1s enrolled with only 14 wuhdrnwnls.

Only four of 86 classC3 that were offered had 10 be cancelled because of low enrollment. Of the 723 students. 521 were rcsidcnL~ of Idaho and 400 were Koo1cnai County residents. Of all the students enrolled during the summer, 412 were women nnd 177 were men.

According to th; trustees, the big issue of

Street Beat:

campus safety is coming up. Two ycnrs ago it was decided to limit the amount of security on campus. nnd now the issue needs 10 be rcnddrc.~sed.

Board member Rohen Ely brought up the ln1cs1 phone bill for the school--$4,800 for one month. Ely staled that $800 of the bill wns for long distance, which really isn't bad for an ins1i1u11on of NIC's si1.c. he said. The other $4,000 wns for the monthly scrvic.: chnrge. Ely snid that $4,000 is excessive JUSt to get o dial tone.

An out•of-s1n1e tuition waiver was brought up by Di Broun, fonner Phi Theta Koppa president. Braun, who S3id h1: has nlrc.1dy received the help and suppon of the boord. wns trying 10 ensure that future ou1-of-s1n1e students. who kepi their grades up. were given additional help for their cffons.

Benncll proposed rewarding the outstanding students with scholnr.;hips by using unspent grant-1n-nid money.

Do you feel there is a parking problem on campus? If so, what would you do about I't? .

A better year ahead for NIC activities fier strolling through campus for the first couple weeks or school. it' s become clear 10 me thnt this campus has more goi ng for it this year than the Inst two years combined.

Yes. this 1s my third ycnr on campus. but I don't reel 100 bad about it bcc:iuse there arc a lot or faces thnt I rc.:ognizc from my first year here (you 1hrcc-1imcrs know who you arc). But. I digress.

Hopefully. 1hc ASNIC office will be moved from the b~cmcnt, where they arc hidden from 1he s1udcn1s. to the main noor where they will be more occessiblc. Already.

ASNIC Fest. where students could register to vote along w11h grcnt free entcnainmen1. went off wi1hou1 a hi1ch and Wlb well iltlcndcd due to good publici1y from 1hc s1udent bonrd.

Wrestling Coach John Owen hns worked hard and acquired new weighl room equipment 1hm should bcncfi1 nol only the n1hlctcs. but also the school.

In this elcc1ion year. I ask all of 1hc students or 1he campus who arc Idaho ci1i1.cns to vo1e for local and state cnndidmes that arc education-friendly. Cuts in s1uden1 finnncinl aid and general cu1s in higher cduca1ion arc a distinct possibility this year.

Parking: too few spaces for too many rus1mtion is building ;nnong s1uden1s early 1his foll. Parking is more of a problem now than ever.

Record cnrollmen1s have jammed 1he practice of circling the parking lot like a vulture looking for the day 's men I. The record number of 3,600-plus s1udents is 100 much or n str:ii n on the avnilnble I, I00 or so s1udent spaces on campus.

Even faculty ond s1aff seem 10 be noucing 1he crunch.

Campus security projects it will issue 350 staff pennits for 223 available spaces.

There seems to be a disturbing paucm here.

Students and Slaff nre required 10 pay a foe 10 park on cnmpus, ye1 thn1 fee holds no guarantee or an available space. Sound a bit like fraud? It's similar 10 selling 3,600 plane tickets for 1,000 scats, is ii not?

The talks of raising tuition and fees to compensale administnuivc costs and pro1ec1 funding from cuts by the One Perccn1lni1ia1ivc arc missing an important issue to the students of this campus: places 10 park.

School needs to be accessible 10 all 1hosc accepted for cnrollmen1. It will continue to issue parking permits 10 the growing number or s1udcn1s and it will con1mue 10 do no1hing abou1 it unless s1uden1s· voices are heard.

The innux in cnrollmenl no doubt mOiucd fonds generated from 1ui1ion and parking permits. What the

F

college admin istrators need 10 do now is ~pend the money 10 remedy the siluation.

One idea could be to build a parking garage behind 1he library. Just think or how many more spaces there would be if the library parking 101had a second or third level. It would add the ndditonal spaces to accommodate athletic, theater and other SPl!Cial events.

Administrators arc hard-pinched 10 spend 1hc money you paid them and would much rather pave 1he soccer field . The college should spend money on 1he soccer field. we agree! But the money should be spent on construc1ion. 001des1ruc1ion. The addi1ion of benches. an actual clock tower instead of the compu1crizcd spcnker system and a fountain would greatly add to 1he aesthetics of our campus environment.

Aside of building or other expensive means, the college could simply revamp the perm ii scandal.

Students could pay more to park in the premier spots on campus and less for the dike road, library and succt. Or. the pre1mer spots on campus can be reserved for the environmentally conscious carpoolcrs and the library parking for the single-passenger cars.

Since staff and students pay the same amount for pem1its, mtlke the competition for spots equal. No more reserved staff spots. Parking should be first-come, J'irsl· serve.

After all. the students arc the cus1omcrs of this

Dear Edilor, The whole idea of parking permits is not valid. No one par1<s on campus unless thy have reason to. Because of this student parking permits should not be needed. Teachers can still pay $10 for their reserved spots while everyone else should be left to fend for themselves.

There are 1213 spots open for general parking: 130 parking spots on the slreet and 990 permit parking.

However, lhere were 2,250 studenl permits sold this semester.

There are Jusl not enough parking spots. Parking permils are oversold and II is unfair thal staff can park in student spots, but students receive a $10 line for parking In empty slaff spots.

The NIC department of

lransportalfon should not sell more permits than there are spaces available.

There should also be a devised parking plan that would entail diflerent parking areas lor different amounts of money.

We could also have a remote parking area with transportation to and from the campus.

Students are paying good money to come lo school here. Why should students have lo pay good money for non-existent parking spaces? We think lhat unless other options are put in place. the parking permit syslem should be done away with entirely.

Parking is minor issue; students can walk Dear Editor, As we ponder the expressed concerns over lack of parking on campus this semester, we have concluded that it may not be altogether negative.

First of all. parki ng Is a minimal problem tn comparison wilh other more beneficial areas on campus in need of improvements. For example, money spent on a new parking lot may be better utilized on secunty upgrading to prevent crime or for any additional educational supplemenls.

Also. since most students will be translerring to olher schools and universllies, this 1s good training for the hazardous parking at the majonty of four-year schools. In addition, the extra

walk from behind the library or even the residenlial area near campus 1s not detrimental to one's heallh. After all, approximately 60 percent of our nalion·s population is overweight and could use a little hike each morning.

Some argue that their major concerns are of !hose disabled students on campus. This, however, was corrected about three years ago when Reily Jurgens, dean ol admin1s1ra1ion, expanded handicapped parking.

Therefore, enjoy your campus by walking. Our situation is minor compared to anywhere you may transfer Aund1e Howerton BarrieJensen RyonPackard Mandy Jacques Eddie Bateman

Dear Editor, Smoking outside of building enlrances should be more tightly restricted or even banned. Smoking poses a health nsk to everyone, including bystanders. Second-hand smoke has been proven to cause cancer so ii is a v1olallon of nonsmokers· rights to be forced to inhale smoke on their way to class.

The majonty of students are, in fact, non-smokers so it Is disrespectful to smoke In areas where people must walk through. We do understand that smoking is a habit tn which people have the right to smoke if they choose. We also realize that there is really no

designated area on campus for smokers. Bui, smoking in different areas may be helpful. Smoking out by your car or any other open area wo1.1ld greatly decrease lhe number of people who are bothered or alfected by smoke.

Even smoking on the way lo class would be better because those who are bothered by it don't have to walk by you. However, students do have 10 walk through those doors to get to class and we're sure ii would be greatly appreciated by all ol the non-smoking students or people would refrain lrom smoking 1n those areas.

Su11i11td Reportu

offers steps for college survival Now that I'm a second-year Ryan MacOanathan collegevc1eran, I feel that it is my Opinion god-given duty to share some of my - ' - - - - - - -"logic" with the newer students.

Within the twisted, convolu~ neuron pathways that make up my mind I've devised a cunning plan. This plan will help new students survive the rigors of college life. # I Take advantage of school sponsored activities. From fine an to outdoor excursions, there arc plenty of different ac1ivi1ics that students can take advantage of, w11hou1 putting a large dram on student pocketbooks. #2 Join a club. I know II sounds nerdy. bu1 campus clubs offer a wide diversity of different group~. Clubs ex isl for a wide variety of interests such as th.: Rodeo Club, Oro.ma Club, Photography Club, Role Players Club and my favorite the Self Defense Club (Kung Fu Klub). These clubs offers such activities n.~ cow Jumping, picture shoot mg. corTcc: socials, dice rolling parties nnd karote cho1lp1ng compcti11ons (not necessarily 111 that order).

113 Drive safely Vehicle acc:iucnts is a large con1tibu1or to young people foiol11ie~. Obviously 1f you die you won't make it through college. /14 Don't vote for Helun Chenoweth.

You cnn call men liberally-biased journalist, or Dnn Bell, but we all know that those Republicans wtll just take nwny nll your college money. OK. moybe not all of them will. #5 Watch n 101 of Qucnun Tarentino films: either the ones he ncted m our daro:cted. You C.ln learn lo~ from his films; how 10 clean the anterior of a car, why you should Lip woill'C\SCS or how to rob a bonk. Fifty cents lo the fir11t person who can tell me what was in the 5uttca\e. #6 Prac11cc your computer skills. Now that the college 1s connected 10 the Internet a whole new realm of infonnation 1& nvllilable. Research info, d1ny jokes. dirty p1c1ures, how to make n bomb, stock quotes and pictures of Jenny in Ohio's pct cat 117 Carry a big bag... not that kind of bag. I know what you were thinking you hippy. True, a big bag means different things 10 different people, but I'm talking about the kind of bag you put your books in. Not only do bags hold books. they can also hold your lunch, pencil, paper. gun, prophylactic and yogurt.

118 If its sticky, don't lick it. Sticky stuff is all around us.

Unfonuaatcly. 1f n's sucky 11路s probably not the best thing to put in your mouth. It may taste good. but ii will only bnng you heartbreak in the end. Sticky stuff provides a breeding ground for bacteria. fungus and other \cinds of microscopic horrors.

1!9. Hold your breath when exiling buildings. ff you wanl noxious fumes you don't have to spend your time in the Hedlund building. Just walk out any door and you'll be guaranteed 10 be assaulted by nasty old cigarette smoking hippies. I don't know about you, bul when I go outside I like 10 catcli a liule fresh air. #10 Last but not least, stay away from those hippies, they only lead you 10 trouble. Hippies smoke too much marijuana, practice "hippie logic" and don't practice proper hygiene.

Thuc it is folks. You can either take my advice or end up working fast-food for lhe rest of your life, while you perish in10 oblivion. It's your choice.

Movie watch

by Bill Canepa Stntfn~I Reporter oving seen "The Bro1hcr's McMullen" and now "She's 1he One," I've come 10 a proround conclusion: Edward Bums 1s n cool guy.

For 1hosc who don·1 know. Edword Burns is o guy who decided 10 make a movie one day. He wro1c n scrip1, gathered up some friends. borrowed $20.000 and made "The Bro1hcrs McMullen." ll was n cool movie: JUSI asl.. the oruics.

Since lhc cri1ics 111..cd il, ii won awards, and mode moncy.Consequcnily, Burns go1 10 make nno1hcr movie. Bul 1his 11mc he would have an nclunl budgc1, real nclMS. and c<>nl music by Tom Peuy.

This new movie is called "She·~ 1hc One". h ope ned on Friday the 131h (dada-da-dnu:1nan) ond 11'~ your typical romnn1ic co medy, You kn ow: boy rind~ girl, boy wall.~ in on girl and nno1hcr guy, boy dumps girl and find s a new girl. boy marric~ new girl in one day while boy's bro1hcr chcal~ on his wire w11h lhc old girl. You know how ii 1s.

"Boy" is Mickey Fi1zpa1rick played

by Burn, himbclr You prc11y ~omcwhnl

H

like him lhc second he appears on screen. And 1hc bulk or 1hc s1ory revolves around him and hi$ brolhcr Francis. played by Mike MeGlonc.

Francis annoys you from 1hc second he nppcars un screen. and by th e end or lhc film, you're rcndy 10 punch him.

The 1wo bro1hers are on 1he oppo~i1c end or 1hc social scale and never sec eye lo eye. Mickey h poor. 11npul~1vc, nnd slrong. while Francis is weak. suspicious. and eomple1cly money. minded.

Burns and McGlonc's performances arc solid and cornplc1cly credible. The supponing cas1 is wonderfol. John Mahoney (bcs1 kn ow n for being "Frnsicr's" dad) 1s superb ond or1en hilarious as Mickey and Francis' fa1hcr.

Cameron Dial had her own be11crtlrnn- average performance o~ Mickey'~ pron11scuous ex-fiancc. Jcnnifor AniMon proves sho con make II on the h1g ~crecn.

All around ils a good ni ck. There's a ltll or cool dialogue wri11cn by Burns, bu1 1he plo1 doe~ gel n liuh: 1cd1ous ,,t lime~. Burns ho~ won my rc~pect a and I awail l11s ncx1 film . I give this one 1hrcc s1nrs.

After "Bugs," from "Vitalogy." and ''Rais," from vcr.,c.$, we've almost come 10 cxpccl some weird com111en1nry aboul the hunrnn race. nnd we arc handed "I' 111 Open," nnd unlike "Bugs" i1's ac1ually worth lis1cning 10 bolh lyrically and musically.

Vedder has mkcn a leave from his whmcy soapbox on 1h1s nlbum. which 1s especially refreshing afler being left wi1h the IO$lcor"V11.alogy" m my mou1h. He con1inucs 10 lll>k 1111pormn1 and cffcc11ve qucs11ons nbou1 love and 1dcn1i1y, but lhot's what makes h Pearl Jnm: 1hnl' s whal ma~cs us love il.

Inland Northwest offers many outdoor activities

by Daniel Yeager Seminel Reporter Nonh Idaho College students can enjoy a wide variety of outdoor, individual spon.~ 1hn1 focus less on competition and more on sclf-nctualization. These spons include mountain biking. backpacking. hiking and rock climbing.

TI1csc spon.s can be every bit as dem:inding as their more traditional countcrpans such as baseball and football. yet arc often ignored by schools ns well as the media.

Of these. perhaps none is more

climbing provides 1ha1 passage."

The Nonhwcst is blessed with many crags offering a wide variety of rock, from the forct1rm-blowing limestone caves of Marcus, Wash., 10 the long rou1es set in an alpine environment on Chimney Rock, Idaho.

And North Idaho College student Michncl BnJadnli said he couldn't help but wonder why many places thnt allow bikes and rollerblades outlaw skateboards.

But this prejudice may be somewhat jusulied. Local businesses hnve been complaining about skaters taking out would-be customers on Sherman Ave. Some good did come out of this however. With the help of residents and locnl bus1 nes~cs, a skntc hoard purk was constructed near Memorial r:itld.

Enrollment increases: Campus deals with parking problems, classroom space

by Ryon MncClannthon Stnti11tl Reporttr With an enrollment increase of about 10 pcrecn1, students, faculty and staff may be no1icing the growing pains thot the college is feeling 1his semester.

This yc.:ir's fall enrollment tolnled 3,644 students. which topped 1hc previous record of 3,324 set in the foll of 1994.

Student&experienced whot the added number of s1udcnts mcnnt during the first week of classes. Long lines nt the bookstore. n crowded cafeteria nnd lack of suitable pnrking greeted new uncl returning ~tudcntl>.

To help deal with the extra vehicles on campu1,. Denn of Admimstrauon Rolly Jurgens has drafted emergency plans 10 lurn a portion of the soccer field into a parking lot. Draft copies of three different parking lolS have been prepared to add nbou1 200 extra spaces.

No official approval has been

grantoo to the new parking lot. which is esumatcd to cost around S170.000. Ju rgens said. If approved, the lot could possibly be cornplcrcd next spnng. .. We're getting crowded on parking; we recogni1.c the problem:· Jurgens said.

111e soccer field is used by students for various sports and student ocuv11ies and by the comlllunity for youth soccer games. Jurgens said the fate of those acti,•itie-( ,~n concern that is being considered.

1111: field wos originally a lurgc growl pnrkrng lot before 11 was convened rnto the soccer field.

According 10 Jurgens. parking rs the big issue for s1udcn1S. Parking rnny be whn1 the students arc concerned about. but he said the school's pnrkrng problem ,s small cornpnred 10 what students 01 larger colleges and umversiues must deal with.

"The IO percent enrollment growth that we saw this fall

surprised us," said Jurgens. "We budgeted for no more students than last fall ...

The growth in enroll men I was due to the fact that the school had the nbllity 10 offer the classes studcnL~ needed, said David Lindsny, dClln of s1uden1S. Lindsay said that the school will be oblc to handle another such increase, but will be limited by classroom and parkrng nvnilnbilhy.

Ron Diez.si, campus safety officer, said that even with the added number of students, 1hc number of parking violations seems to be abou1 the same ns last year.

D1e1.Si suggested that students should allow more umc to find adequate parking. He also said wrth the added nmount of traffic studenrs must slow down and drive the campus 20 miles-pcrhour speed limit.

The large majority of cilations arc issued to students who haven't purchased their

parking pcnnits, said Joelle Storey, campus security.

To deal with this increase rn students about 50 clnss sessions were added and cxtrn sinff and faculty were hired.

According to Registrar Karen Streeter, the registrar's office wns ··rcally hectic" 1he first week The office was able 10 fill almost all of the posiuons on the wait list. Heavy registrauon in July gave the school time to prepare, Streeter said.

According the Bill Semmler, bookstore director, the bookstore felt unusually small and crowded. They had prepared a he.ad of time though for the rush period by hiring exLra staff members and ordering extra books.

"We had more books on the shelves then ever before."

Semmler said. ·11,e school just kept on adding new class sections."

ASNIC holds freshman elections

by Jon Wiley Stmi,re/ Repor1er Students seeking n chance to affect lho future of NIC will have nn opportunity 10 do so l<><lny nnd Friday, 10 express lheir opinion on how they think NfC should be monngcd for lhc coming semester. ASNIC will hold genernl elcc1ions to lill three vacancies for the oflicc of freshman scnnlor. Students will vole 10 fill 1he positions of a~adcmic frcshmaa sennior. vocmional freshman senator. and open freshmen scmuor.

Open senators vote on all concerns fncing ASNIC while vocational and academic Senators only vote on those issues pertaining to their rc!>pecth•c areas. However, ASNIC Presidenl Nett Weber reminds students 1ha1 any siudent can petition ~ny senator for assistance regardless of 1heir educational track.

Despi1c the innuence that ASN[C has over mony areas on campus. the proportion of students who vole hns been signilicanily less than those who do not in past elections.

This yC!llr, ASN1C hopes to increase voter tum-out to 15-20 percen1. This percentage would be much higher than the 8.7pcrcent of total students who voled in last spring's election. This is in ligh1 of the fact 1ha1 the people clec1cd last spnng will help decide how to spend a projected budget of $108,000 lhis year.

ASNIC does many things for the student

body. TI1ey pion ac1ivi1ics for all NIC students. They ulso exercise control over every official cl ub on campus. If a club wan1s funds for a particulnr event from NIC, ASNIC will probably be 1hc enlily lo decide whc1hcr or not 1hcy will get ii.

ASNIC cnn nlso offer assistance 10 individual students. Sophomore Scnnlor Rober! S1ull gave on example of how they might be able to do this.

He explained tha1 if a s1uden1 hos a problem wi1h a teacher 's auendanee policy. he or she can pe1i1ion an ASNIC senator for support. If 1h,: senator thinks 1ha1 his or her complain, is lcgi1ima1e thal senator will do all that he or she can to help the student prove this to NIC's Adminis1ra1ion. Senators welcome the opportunity to provide students with this kind of support.

Tyler Bush, Andria Hansen, Suzanna Loe. and Tim Kohal are this year's candidates for the posuion of freshmen senator. They delivered speeches in the Hedlund Foycc and on 1he SUB stage on Sept. 25.

Polling booths will be in the foyers of Hedlund. Lee Hall, and the SUB. The boo1hs open from 11 a.m .• I p.m. The boolh in SUB will also open again from S:30 p.m. 10 8:30 p.m. Student$ must present a current ASNIC I.D. card to cast a VOie.

"If ii,~ n good idea and lhc country buys into ii, the rest will follow."

The NSl7 report was mailed in September to all universi ty presidents in the nmion.

N1C Prcsidcn1 C. Robert llcnncll received has copy last week. "h is cncoumging to sec !hat lhc National Science Founda1ion is now appealing to 1hc community colleges 10 partner with secondary schools, four-year colleges and universities to address 1he challenge of improving our siudcnts understanding of such important subjects,'' Benneu said.

The NSF report states the need for 1he cooperation of every measure of society, cduca1ion nnd government in order 10 accomplish the rcfonns needed, including the guaranice of funding. Years earlier, the 1991 report of the Carnegie Commission s1mcd thn1 "the federal govcmmcnl should dedicate its efforts 10 helping the Slates and communities reform and improve the system, leveraging 1he s1a1c efforts rather 1han displacing them.''

But in the same week 1h01 Bcnnctl received the NSF report. Congress was struggling with $2.3 billion in education spending cuis proposed by the Republicans and is considering cu1backs in Eisenhower grants, a part of NSF funding tha1 provides training for 1eachcn.

Meanwhile Governor Ban announced 2.5 percent cutbacks in the S1a1e budge1 resuhing in approxima1ely $22..5 million in cuts in educaiion. with a loss of revenue to NIC of almost $200,000 for 1he coming year. "h seems ironic that govemmcn1 is cuning the funding of programs tha1do what they (NSF) arc recommending.'' said Mann.

Stewart said that education is expensive, bu1 now is 001 a lime to reduce spending.

Bartlett said (ha! the economics of mvcsung in education will only have a positive effect on the national income and output. In fac1, as more money is invested in human capital, ii will have a muhiplying effect, Bartlett said. Every dollar spenl on education yields a rc1um five times greater, rather than a return on dollar for dollar.

Stewart said tha1 there 1s a very intpol'Ulnl debate in governmcn1 going on right now asking. "Where arc we going as a coun1ryr' He said that it goes beyond personalities and political parties.

The Carnegie Commission report states, " The U.S. can succeed al education and preparing our c:i11zcns when there ,s the national will and the leadership to do so."

"A people and their poliucal leaders have 10 be visionary, and those or.: the ones who arc going 10 come out on lop," Stewart said. "Technology is not going 10 turn buck."

Cun Nelson, mnth nnd physics m\uuctor. is deeply concerned about lhc succc'5 of siudcnts ns they move imo lhc workforce. He said thnl wori.crs no longer perform the same JOb for 40 years for the same employer.

A worker's job may be continuously redefined or elimiruucd, or the company 11:,elf mny cease 10 cids1 ns n resuh of its innbili1y 10 keep pace with 1Jle changes.

And changes rue escalating al an 111Cl'C3Sing rnic, said Tony Stcwon, poli1ical science instructor. The rnie of life changes in the last 10 yean, would have ta.ken 80 years to occur in 1he past.

"So someone who lives to be 100 years old will have seen chnngcs tha1 would have 1aken 800 years before," Stcwan said.

"We need 10 ge1a workforce thal can cope wi1h thn1kind of world.'' Nelson snid.

The modem workforce requires highly technical skills, according 10 Nel.son.

Workers musl be able 10 lhinx 1hrough problem-solving siruations and n« be afraid of new equipmcn1. And they mus1 have a broad background so 1h111 they will be able to shift wilh changes m the job.

During the Cold War, lhc focus wu oo educating the top 10 percenl of the students in math and sciences, Nelson said. "h is not enough lo educaie jus1the elite any more," Stcwan said.

Economics instructor Nina Bartlett said Iha! education in these arcu is essential for the economic growlh of the country.

"If we arc going to be the country 11w is going to design new products ...and lhal's whenl the high wages arc, in designing and engineering ... then we have to have a woctfon:e lhal's trained,"

Bru1len said.

"In the pasl America has had u grea1 advaniage." Stewart said. "But now we hove 10 be sure thal we can keep up and 001 pul ourselves in u position of having 10 cn1ch up.

Nelson paniciputcd in a NSF conference held m Augus101 lhe University of Maryland where 55 1woyear college physics 1eachers repn:senung every region of the United S1n1es were in aucndance.

The NSF rcpon was prepared lhrough 11 process of a year's wonh of hcanngs. focus groups and convocniions involving s1udcnts. parents. tcachel\, administrations. scientific groups. employers, and slllte and local officials in n collaborative effon wilh the N111ional Research Council.

Titled "Shaping the Fu1ure: New Expectations for Undergrodua1e Education in Science, Mathematics.

Engineering and Technology," lhe repon outlines lhe recommendations for a na1iooal educa1ion reform movement And the rccornmendlllion of the NSF 1s that these reforms in education should be presenied 10 "all" students.

Nelson said that he likes to lhink of it as "each" student Focusing on the individual makes ii an anainable goal.

Nelson considers the repon a "white paper." He said that the term indicates a paradigm shift.

As he talk.s about the impact these changes can make for the individual student and for the nation as a whole, it is obvious that he is convinced of the imponance of this reform.

His manner reflects a quiet but deep passion about it " I think we've fouled up in the past in

The NSP repon includes reforms for K12 as well as two-year colleges and universities. ln developmg new approaches to education, one big concern is if course work will transfer. lnicrdisciplinary courses bring new challenges in creating measurable transfer credits.
