Sue Thilo, a board of trustees representative, said. "Because money for building 1he cen1er is primari ly received through privo1e donations, grants and requests, it is conceivable the center could be expanded even if 1he One Pe rcent Initiative passes."

Schenk said, "This is true. however. the One Perce nt lni1ia1ivc will affect whc1hcr or not college expenditures can afford to pay staff, managcmen1 and the cost of operating 1he facility."

About 125 families are on the waiting lis1, and it is anticipa ted that there will

Officers' Quarters receives needed facelift The Officers' Quarters was in such bad shape it was rotting and the

foundation was crumbling.

by Wes Woods Stmintf R!!porter Shennan Officers· Quarters. the second des1building in North Idaho is gening a

TI

celiR.

The building thnt ranks second 10 the Cataldo Mission should be finished by Oct. I, according 10 Dean of Administrmion Rolly Jurgens.

The decision 10 give 1he Officers· Quarters a focelifl was made a couple of years ago. Jurgens said.

NIC sent n request 10 the stnte board of education asking for some money to renova1e the building.

The Officers' Quarters was in such bad shape that it was roning and the foundation was crumbling. NfC had already had the interior and sheet rock fixed on it 10 or 12 years ago but "We decided that ir we're going to use the building for the long tenn we're going 10 have 10 do something 10 save it," Jurgens said.

To renovate the quarters the state board of education approved S160.000 in stale funds which comes from the Department of Public Works. o state agency which handles state hospitals. prisons. etc.

NIC is contributing $58.000, of which $ 12,000 was from the Depar1mc111 of Public Works.

1l1e 101al budget is $219,000 for the ex1crior. While Public Works takes care of 1he ex1erior. NIC pays for 1he inside of 1he building. NI C ha~ $260.000 budge1cd for the i111erior. however bids for this pan of 1he projccl haven·1been finalized yc1. according 10 Jurgc11s.

Asnic forums designed to inform public

by Jonathan Wiley Se111111rf Rtpo11e1 Wuh clcc1ions coming up in November, ASNIC h~ prepared a ~rics of forums aimed 01 infonn,ng the public on issues 1hn1 ii will vote on.

Cnndida1cs for the board of trubtees will meet tog.ether in 1hc Bonner Room of 1he SUB tonighl 01 6.30 p,m, The cnndidn1es will include Steve Widmycr. Barbara Chumbcrlain. Dave Pnqu111 and fames Kimball. The mce1ing wilt be open 10 nil. ldnho Sen. Mary Lou Reed, along wi1h n reprcsemntivc from the governor's office. will auend n forum discussing Proposiuon J Oct. 15 in the Bonner Room of the SUB al 6:.10 p.m. The initiative would mnke ii

harder 10 dump radioac1ive was1e 111 Idaho.

TI1e con1roversinl One Percent lnitative will be 1he issue discussed a1 th;: final forum Oct. 24. Agnin. it will 1nke pince in the Bonner Room of the SUB a1 6:30 p.m. For those renders who do 1101 know. the One Percent lniuuive would lower property taxes down 10 one percent of 1heir value.

In 01hcr news. ASN IC voted 10 suppon NICE. North Idaho College Employees. an orgonizn1ion of non-focuhy employees of NIC. in its proposed amendment 10 the bylaws of the college senn1e on Sept. 17.

The amendment would change the composition of 1he senate.

Currently. the senate is composed of 10 faculty members. five members of NICE

and 1hree full-ume students from ASNIC. The proposed amendment would allow 1he senate to retain 1he same number of members. however there would be six representatives from each group.

Speaking for NICE. Roberta Black said that 1his measure is needed to ensure fair representation from each constituency group on campus.

Anicle I of 1he College Senate bylaws reads. "The Senate is a vehicle through which the cons1i1uent organizations of 1he College are able 10 panicipa1e in the decision making process . .•" A memorandum pu1 ou1 by NlCE for ASNIC s1a1cs 1h11t "111is vital function of

the Senate cannot be truly reali1.ed wi1hou1 discarding the structure of token membership for two of its three cons1itucn1 groups •.."

Black 1old ASN IC that with its support this measure has a good chance of passing a1 1he next College Senn1e mcc1ing.

Also, ASNIC took a poll of NIC siuden1s to find out if 1he wanted 10 pay $20 more in fees to remodel the SUB. As of Scpl. 24. 44 1 students responded yes and 97 said no. Howc.ver. S1uden1 Body President Neil Weber said that ii is hard 10 1ell whether or not this is an accu111re reflection of student opinion because some students may be filling ou1 more than one poll card.

Editorial

SUB remodel threatened by One Percent tudcnts will begin funding the multi-million dollnr remodel of the Student Union Building next semester, and the project will begin as planned. However, the One Percent Initiative lingers above 11.

11,c decision was brought 10 1he board of trustees last week by ASNIC after months of planning.

ASN!C appointed a student c:ommittc which ~pent weeks last year traveling to other community colleges and universities 10 gather ideas for our own SUB. 111c college spent hours reviewing plans submi11ed by a number of architects and fiinally decided on one that coincided best with student requests.

The plans include relocating !the bookstore, expnndmg the cafeteria. and bringing the ASNIC offices from the basement to the main floor.

When the budget fell shon of satisfying the amenities students were asking for, ASNIC turned 10 them for help.

Students were polled and overwhelmingly approved an individual contribution of S20 persemester. in 1he fonn of higher fees. to fund the modem facility.

The remodeled SUB will provide numerous amentitlcs 10 the student body and are 10 be applauded for !heir show of suppon to It will be useful to many of

S

the college's future s1uclen1s as well.

Still, the One Percent lni1ia1ivc lingers. If it passes in November, the project could face ~ubstantial complications.

All the hard work by the planning committee and ASNIC would be lost. 11,erem lies the tragedy.

The remodel wilt not be funded by 1ax dollars. but the finances arc directly dependent on Mudent enrollment. If the initiative passes, NIC wilt no longer be funded by propcny truces and will rely completely on the state general fund along wi1h the other community colleges.

Cuts in funding will undoubtedly be absorbed by reducing Maff and faculty and eliminating classes. A drop in student enrollment will surely follow.

The repayment of the S5milhon dollar bond is dependent on the money from the increase in student fees, and a significant drop in enrollment would have obvious consequences.

Hopefully, our point is understood.

Students need 10 exercise 1he privilege bestowed upon them by the fathers of this democratic nation and vote. The One Percent Initiative is stilt on the ballor and can be defeated. More than JUSt the future of Idaho's higher education is at stake.

Smokers shouldn't hangout in doorways Dear Editor, Out ol respect and courtesy for the non-smoking students on campus. smoking should only be permitted in an area thal does not affect ltiem while going lo class.

Since second-hand smoke is unavoidable when entering and exiting buildings on campus. this presents a clear problem. II people who do not smoke are breathing in lhese fumes, it is actually worse than lighting up lhemselves. The Surgeon General has even proven that second-hand smoke hurts people more than just lighting up a cigarette.

There is quite a bit of room in front ol NIC, and there is also room in the parking lot. Hence, smoking should not be permitted in front ol main entrances

It 1s understandable that some people really rely on having a cigarette between, before or after class. It is also understandable that there are many other things besides just cigaretle smoke in the air on our way to class.

This is not to say that everybody should quit smoking but it is to say that if you are going to smoke it should be done In an area that is not affecting other students who do not llke it. Would it take much lime to walk a lew ex1ra feet out ol respect for your fellow classmates?

A day shooting with the class The day that I went out 10 the range to shoot with the Trap and Skttt clnss wns just after they had finished the skeet ponion and w~re just beginning 10 shoot rrnp. (Luckily for me.)

The instructor, Richard .. Dick..

Raymond, let me bring my 0~11 shotgun and join in the fun so thnt I could "get into.. the expcricnrc. rvc sho11mp before, albeit I was only 14 years old, und am Ed Francis now•..um ... wcll that's not Opinion penincnt: let's Just say its been a while.

As he led everyone outside to the rnnge, 1 sneaked over to my uuck. Not wanting to look the fool in front of all the students, I decided to change the barrels on my shotgun from a cus1omil.Cd skeet barrel to a full choke.

The guys, being gentlemen, lei the ladies go first. It"s a good thing too because the ladies were c.., ceprional shots to follow.

I chost 10 go in the last group of shooters o.nd confidently we stepped up to our spots.

The three guys before me did an excellent job of shooting. but then ii came my rum.

Put shell in magazine; raise shotgun 10 shoulder; aim muzzle between center nod right comer of 1rap house: yell "pull'': follow speeding orange dot; poim sigh1 I inch 10 the right of target; squee1.e trigger. and... a<>lhing happened.

I looked at my shotgun and wondered whnt was wrong with the damn thing.

Then Raymond calmly called ou1. "Ed, you might wan1to close the chamber."

So much for showing who the expen wns.

As I stood thm breathing the acrid UISle of gun smoke, or wns it the neid tnste of swallowed pride, I began to think mnybe 1 wasn't cut out for trap.

Thanks to the experienced tutelage of Raymond standing over my shoulder and pointing out what I was doing wrong, I was able to improve.

It was an educ-,llional experienct. I highly recommend that anyone interested takes the class. especially if you can get over rhc embarrassment or being out-shot by ladies.

If you plan oo getting iruo the class. sign up early because only 12 spocs are open per semester. Abo, be prq,ared to spend over $10 each clau for clay pigeons and shells.

Student Union facelift planned Increase in student fees will fund multi-million dollar SUB renovation

by Ryn n l\,JucClana than Se111i11e/ Repom•r

Students will be paying nn extra $20 fee for the next 20 years to nnance the remodeling of the SUB. Unless, the One Percent Initiative is passed by voters this November.

The fee increase, which was approved nt the board of 1ru~1ees meeting Sept. 25, will pay off a $5 million bond over 1he course of 20 years. The increase will be initialed 1he beginning of next scrncs1er.

Approval of the project is just one of the first step in the construction process.

Adminbtrators must now decide where 10 move SUB operations while construction is going on and deal with the 37 lost parking spaces.

Looming over the top of the whole projects completion is the possibility of the One Perccn1 Initiative passing in November "If the One Percent passes, it will

nlfect 11 ." said Neil Weber. ASN IC president.

The passage of the One Percent wo uld directly affect all areas of the campus, according 10 Lanny Stein. direc tor of Student Services. Cuts in faculty and staff numbers would mean thnt enrollment at the college would drop.

Even though no tax dollars would be used for the renovation of the facility, bond payments would be affected by enrollment al the school.

According 10 ASNIC Secretary Aaron Woehler, ASN IC hn.~ organized the ·'Rock the Vo1e" campaign on campus 10 get students involved in the political process. He said thm if students "keep light1ng·• and vote no on the One Percent, there is a good chance of defeating the initi111ive.

Stein said tha1 there arc no definite plans on what to do with SUB operations while 1he remodeling is taking place.

Some sections of lhe buildi,n g mny remain in use during construction. while others

"We just want to meet the needs of the students. It's the students ' building."

--Neil Weber

may be moved 10 01hcr loca1io11s on c ampus.

"What we had originally proposed was 10 stay operational during this remodel,'' Stein said. "That may not be feasible Ihough."

The remodeling is antic ipated 10 begin in March of nex1 year and will take abou1 one year 10 complete.

Plans for the SUB remodel have been in the making since 1993. The buildings new design and features were planned out by n special committee of students organized by ASN£C. "We just want 10 meet the needs of the students," Weber said. " It's the students' building."

The remodeled SUB will femure a larger dining area, career center. bookstore and office space.

Two large lounge areas will be constructed for students to use as study and relaxation areas. All three levels will feature natural lighting provided by noor 10 ceiling windows.

According to Weber, the remodeled SUB will look nothing like the present one. The entryway will become the foca l points of the building. As srudents walk into the building. each level and section

will be accessible from the en1ryway.

"You· re no1 going to get lost.'' said Wochler.

According lo Bill Semmler. boo director, 1he store will experience a increase in size, which will allow 1he store's staff 10 expand the range of services offered 10 students. An e~ selec1ion of NIC logo items. software. office supplies and a larger reference book section.

A new reading area will allow st 10 look al the books before they i,u them. " If we have more 10 sell than we'U gener:ue more revenue ..:· Semmler "as much as 25 percent more."

Semmler said 1ha1 ii may be posstblr with the added spnce 10 establish a print shop and 10 expand the store's mailing services.

At the beginning of the school year, NIC officers conducted a student rvcy 10 find ou1 if the ~1uden1s would P!IOl1 the S20 increase in fees.

'Writing Aloud:' Universal themes travel around the world

by Aggie Jendro Calim Stntinel Reporter Those who have no interest in poetry should have vis11ed the Sub Stage Tuesday Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.: an in1cres1 would have been ~parked.

"Writing Aloud'' reaiun:d two great wri1crs: Eleanor Byers and Linda Nelson.

Byers read over 15 poems nnd imroduccd 1he listeners 10 nooks and views of 1hc world. Byers' poems took the audience all over the world w11h poems such as "On the Travel," '·On the Train 10 Yugoslavia," "Lener from Africa" ond "Thai First Summer."

Byers described wonderful lnndscapcs as well as different human behaviors and personalities.

Nelson presented 3 mixture of humorous and sentimental poems. including "Case of Pebbles,'' "Stairwell." "Sweetmodness" and "Drean1 On." Rhythms, rhymes and well· structured compositions helped 1he listeners to underaand and like Nelson's work.

Love was viewed from mony different prospectives. Love for a child was shown in Nelson· s "Case of Pebbles." Love for a husband was ponrayed in Byers·

"Woman with Al1.hcimer-S1ricken Husband."

Though poetry dominoted the evening, prose was welcomed and admired. "For the Love of Poetry." presented by Nelson, was an explanauon of the significance of poetry. Nelson did a wonderful job convincing the listeners thai poetry docs play an imponant role in people's daily lives.

The meeting was ended by student Cherise Tomolly. Her production was interesting and promising.

During one encounter these people were upset with what I had S4id. They wontoo an apology for hurtin, their feelings, and they were mad. They kepc g,ming closer and doscr ro me.

OK, before I gel all my instructo~ upsel with me (I know you guys uwd to be hippie~. you can'l hide the truth from me!), I think I need 10 clarify what I mean by the word hippie. The hippies of the '60s were fine. You know. the ones who bumc.d bras and said ''Make love. not war." It's the hippies of the '90s 1ha1 I dislike.

The number of people following the!>e bands blossomed as they made rhcir cross-country reefer tours.

Joan Coleman swinging in the breeze Center for New Directions secretary celebrates 70th birthday by parasailing on Lake Coeur d'Alene

by Brad Preston Semmel Rrp<>rrtr

As the wind blew through her hair. JoM Cotcm:lll, from the Center for New Direction~ of NlC. ~ • high above Coeur d'Alene Lak<" otmched 10 the back of n bom. strapped on n sail in n 11.=tion called parnsailing.

Gomg parnsaihng. n populru- recrcntion on Coeur d' Aknc Lake. 1s a common occurrence.

In the case of Colem:in. however. 1hc circumstances ,vcrc slightly unique because 11 was a 70th binhday cckbrntion for her.

To help celebnuc Colcmnn's buthday. her daughter :ind grand daughter went with her. although 1hcy did not go parns:uling. Kat Yoc~cy. her grnnd daughter, is an NIC ~tudent.

"Oh. it wa~ wonderful. ab~olutcly wonderful.''

Coleman raved about h<:r ndvcnturc. "11 was so peaceful and quiet."

Nc~t on this adventurous Indy's list of excursions nre gliders. at Silverwood TI1cmc Pnrk, nnd hot air balloons.

"I ju~, wanted 10 Mnn doing some fun things," Coleman s:ud as she gave her futun: plans of adventure.

Although pnrasailing 1s not as rnmc :t~ a

gondola ride. Coleman believes 1ha1 pnrasailing is for nnyonc young or old. "Age has nothing 10 do with it." she snid.

Coeur d'Alene Pamsniling conlinned this by s.iying tOpercent of their customers are over 70.

Another good portion of their customers arc over 90. According to Coeur d'Alene Pamsailing. thi~ is something that people want 10 do before they get 100 frnil. ·111cy don ·1 dip you in the water unless you wnnt 10 be dipped," Coleman said, 1alking about the dangers other people sec in para.~ailing.

'1licy said if you hear a rip or a tear 10 point your toes. because the ride is over... she said.

Although pamsailing i~ popular to older people, Coeur d'Alene P'dfllsailing said that only 30 percent of thCIJ' customers arc under 35.

Normally. for C0cur d'Alene Para.'>lliling. the price of a ride is around $40. During May and September they run coupons in local papers where a ride can be purchased for ru-ound S29.

A pamsail ride can be purchased for $25 for a college student (usually accomplished by showing an NIC student ID).

Repaired Eagle 1 still rides high in the water

Stntintl Reporter anging suspended in rhc air "Engle One" majesrically sailed across 1he sky no longer bound by earths gro,•iry 10 once aga_in fly across rhc sil"cry waves of Lake Coeur d'Alene.

"Eagle I" NIC's J-24 was lifled by crane mro the w:ucr Tuesday Sepl. 24 in rime for rhe scheduled sailing course offered through NIC's Work Force Extension program in Post Falls.

The Associnrcd Students of North Idaho College has had its premier S3il boat in storage for almost two years.

"This is great" was B.mncn's remark as Eagle I scnled into the water.

Lindsay , one of the ins1ruc1ors for the class said, "It's been a long 1tme coming. bur we gor ii done just in rime.''

A li11le volunreer work by rhc saihng club. <anding rhe hull and the balance of the cost donared by Bob Cordes owner of Sail Nonhwesl made rhis projec1 possible..

When David Lindsay, dean of s1udcn1s and Dean Bcnnen. srudcnt acti\'itics director pulled rhe boar our 10 cl.:an rhc hull rwo ,;casons ago they found that rhc liberglass below water line hod begun to blisrcr.

"De311, come loo!.. nr rhi\, do you believe rhi,'' wa\ L111ds11y'< runcrion 10 the condition of the hull.

H

The J-24 hull had fallen prey 10 problems in the adhesion and curing propenies of rho fiberglass resin used during the boats cons1ruc1ion.

In 1978 when rhc boar wns built due 10 environmental concerns the use of ccnnin chemicals used in fiberglass ,. resins and hardeners had been banned.

It wns during this two-year period thnr chcmisr and bon1 manufacturers were experimenting and continuing to build boats with new compounds.

Fixing the problem required money that was nor available al 1hc time so rhc boar sat.

After selling some hem~ donated 10 NlC's sailing club Benncu came up wirh $800 to repair and paint the hull.

One problem remained. rho 101:11 cost for repairing rhc damage caused by rite blistering and photo by Bany Whitney paintmg the hull was cstimarcd by Up,up and away · The J-24 sailboat is lifted from Lake Coeur d'Alene for hull repair.

New Direction's Brown Bag Seminars empower women

by Debora 'rice Stntintl Rtporttr Brown bag seminars arc back for the studcntS and s1aff of NIC. These seminar\ arc of special m1ercs110 women. bu1 men are welcome and cncoumged 10 nuend.

The next ~minar will be on OcL 24. tit noon m the Bonner room of the SUB. The theme is .. Women and Career Choices for the 21st Century.. and will be presented by the staff of Ccn1cr for New Dircc1ions. The third nnd final seminar for the fall scmcs1cr will be held on Nov. 20. and the theme 1s .. Home for the Holidays-how to mrutimize fun and minimi1,e stress...

Gues1 speaker for the first seminar was Adrienne Wilson,8.A., with Center for Human Development, where she is a counselor and hypno-1hcrapis1.

The 1itle or her prcscnta1ion was "Wild

Women 0011'1 Get the Blues".

TI1e 1cm1"wilcl women" brings wi1h ii seveml con11ou11ions, however. Wilson feels 1ha1 a wild woman is one that knows her own boundaries. gives her word and follows 1hrough on i1: is free. fully olive ,md moves thru life wi1h a purpose.

Wild women don·, give their powe r away. &hey believe in 1hem,;clvc:.. trust 1hcmsclvcs fully. ask for whnt 1hey wan1 withou1 shame or guih, arc in control, handle connic1 and are clear about who they arc.

The theme was overcoming core beliefs thal hmit women in 1hc1r development. In personal and professional rel111ionships, many times & here nrc bamers 10 full human developmenl and dignity for a woman due 10 conscious and unconscious programming. Wilson explained 1hls

programming 1s from childhood and 1hc fom1n1ive years. however. ii i~ not limited 10 &hose 1imcs m 1he1r hvcs.

E~amplcs such as a parents telling their l111le girls ··you can't be president. you're a girl"' hmit women at home. at work. al play. and in &heir ~exual lives.

As children. many women arc 1augh1 lhnt appearance h equal 10 <;elf-value. "you've go1 to look prcny or so and so won'1 like you.. This myth is pcrpe1uated by 1he media ngnin nod ogam- if one is 001 skinny, beautiful. big brcas1cd and long legged. then one is no1 wonhy, Wilson said.

The semmar dcmonstro1ed thn1 women need 10 be able 10 overcome these limitS and realize. in and of themselves. tha1 they nrc wonhy, valid and valued.

Women need to know that i1 is okay 10 be alone. 1h01one·s iden1i1y need 1101

be rela1cd 10 1hc man 1hcy arc with. " h is 1101 my JOb 10 ninl..e him like me. i1 is my JOb to find ou1 ,f I hke him."

Wilson said. "You can·, afford 10 be tn a relniionship unlcS\ you can afford 10 leave".

She strc~\C~ 1hn1 ii is ol.:ay 10 say no. and 10 feel good abou1 11 Be ~cxu:il when one wants to be. 001 when one's mote decides it' s 11me to be. When someone is forced into sexual rela1ions 1hey are giving 1heir self away. Their self es1eem plummets. 1he1r values arc lowered. and their morals are affcc1cd.

The seminar showed tha1 ,f womeonnd meo-nrc nble to improve their core beliefs. their gu1 level ins1incts, their lives will rencc1 ii, and rcln1ionships will improve for all. Quality of life can only be enhanced by women, Md ~n fulfilling their potenri:il. and allowing 01hers 10 do 1he same.
