Campus in uproar over instructor's suspension

Sha ron Smith Instru ctor

b y S ue Jurgens nnd Ry an MacClnnathon Sentinel Reporters The suspension of a teacher has sparked a controversy that has drawn strong reactions from staff. faculty. administration and students.

Learning Center instructor Sharon Smith was s u s pended from the ca mpus March 6 on allegations that she said inc lude

tempering with student grndes.

Smit h said she believes the s uspension is in retaliation for her as king for "accommodations unde r the Americans with Disabili ties Act." Smith is one of NIC's teachers who say they s uf fered health complications from working on the second noor in the Hedlund Building above the vocational shops. The Leaming Center was

located in Hedllund before the admini s tration closed the building to make changes after students and staff complained of hendnchcs. dizziness and fainting.

Smith sa id that Jerry Gee. dean of instruction. told her if she asked again for an aide as allowed under 1he ADA, that it would nffect her position.

"When I said that sounded like a th reat," Smith said, " he said.

'That's not a threat. That's the way it 's going 10 be."'

On Thursday morning, March 6, Smith said that Joe Cheesman, human resources director. and Linda Michal, nurse practitioner. came 10 her m her classroom and asked her to come with them. She told them that she was with a c lass just then but was told she needed 10 come with them immediately.

Violation- A student car was broken into in a parking lot on campus and his CD player was stolen.

Instructor, from Page 1 "I thought tl1ey were going to tell me that my mother or son had died;' Smith said.

Smith said that Mich<\! told her to come now and took her by the elbow. With Cheesman taking the other, tl1ey moved her ..with some force" from the room. At her office. Cheesman told her about the suspension, then followed her out to her car.

Smith said that she was taken completely by surprise. ..In fact, (Gee) told me at the end of February that he'd had no complaints about me and that he saw no problem with (renewing) my tenure:· She said she cried her heart.out for 15 minutes before driving off. When she reached the Rosenberry and Hubbard intersection, she noticed Gee following her. She said he slowed down when she turned in at her attorney Mike VCJbilis' office near Sherman and First Street.

'11 was absolutely him." Smith said. " It was his pid;up truck and it was him driving it."

Neither Cheesman nor Michal would COr!unent on the incident. Cheesman cited Smith's right to privacy. Bolb Robert .Bennett.

Plt:sident, and Gee were out of town last week. . On March 18. the campus was papered with "Fact Sheet'' flieis (see sidebar excerpt) Ptmcd by "faculty (who) wish to remain

anonymous for fear ofadministrative rclllliation.·· Smith said that the allegation that she had students cnroUccl in her class who didn't need it. was ridiculous.

"J check their reading scores and tell them where they placed," Smith said. "'But the students have tl1e right to choose. It's a guided placement.·· Smith· s suspension along with the mer has the campus buzzing.

Bill Richards, Faculty Assembly president, said that students and faculcy should be concerned about the allegations in the flier. He said that it seems as if the administration has bypassed the tenure process.

Don Friis, chair of Tenure Comminee, said that he understands that her suspension was "for cause" and that the Tenure Committee wasn't involved for this reao;on. He con.finned that Gee had not released infonna.tion about the aUegations 10 the committee. " It still gravely concerns us if (the administration) uses 'cause' aU the time instead of going through the tenure procedure." Friis said.

In l'CJICtion to the flier, Steve Schenk, dean of college relations, sent a memo (see sidebar excerpt) to faculty and staff suuing: '1be college is commined to handling this situation professionally and ethically. lt is also sensitive

Campus safety can cover non-injury minor accidents. but in the case of injmies or serious driving violations. the police are notified.

Diezsi said there's been only a few minor car accidents on campus this school year, but there have been many reports of hit-and-run incidents in parking lot,;.

Diezsi said the reason students must park in designated areas is so emergency vehicle~ can enter, access the scene and le~ve the camp1b immedi:u.ely.

Each day. 10 to 15 parking violations are given out. About 350 to 400 a month. The imposed fine for a parking violation, if paid wilhin a seven-day period, is S5, after seven days$ IOand after 30 days $15.

The fines levied for parking violations are used to unance the maintenance of the <::unpus· road -signs, road paint, equipment and to support the parking progmm.

Campus security staff members help more than 350 studenlS j ump-stnn 1heir vehicles each year. In addition. they help hundreds or students retrieve keys accidentally locked in vehicles.

NIC's emergency phone system. tinanc.:d

by ASNIC and installed by NIC, was built on

campus more than three yearn ago. The phones are linked to the campus security office and portable phones carried by campus security personnel.

The system operates 24 ho urs and is inspected weekly by campus security. No dialing is necessary. To access the system, simply pick up the receiver.

The phones have been used by students for more than emergencies.

'They were put then: for the use of lhe student," Diezsi sAid. "What may be considered an emerge!I\.")' by some. may not be considered an emergency by olhen;. but ev.:n if it's forajump-stM1. it's better to call than to walk all the way crunpus...

Bill Pecha. environmental science i..:achcr, made 11 boo-boo Inst week by inviting Scoll Brown, a member of lhe Idaho Con.,;ervn11on Lcngud (ICL). to ~peak dunng class time.

Now, I don't \uppon or proccst Craig's new bill, mainly becau~e I don '1 have enough mformalion.

Bmwn obviou~ly didn't have enough mformntion either becauo;c when a Mudent ibkcd for a copy of CrJtg\ propo..al. Brown an\wen:J that he did not havc one. He did, however, have plenty of propaganda from lhc ICL \upponmg h,b side of lhe issue.

Brown also used innamma1ory phrases to mci1e the students, like "stupid nbu~" and "fnvi11h11cs•. Any ftr.t year logic and cntical thmkmg !Student would know lhnt I ~ thmg~ are JU~t plain bad t() u<.c 111 a log1cal a.rgumrn1.

Loud poetry causes emotions to run rampant hy Summer Lindenberg Se111i11clRcporter Students stopped dcnd in their tracks as contestants yelled, screamed, and shou1ed their way toward a S 100 pri1,e_ during the Poc1ry Shouting Contest March 20 in the SUB. Poems like "Rain. Rain. Go Away" and "1-lamlcl Hcnds 10 the Hills" were chosen 10 be read in a eye-popping, vein-bursting, blood curdling, voice eruption.

The poems selected for reading could be of any nature. Contc~tant~ received judging on two types of merits, o technical merit for volume, an nnd pronuncintion. The nni~tic meri1. graded by the poem selection. dramatic interpretation and dramntic prescntat ion.

A good thing about this type of pre.~ntmion is that no mailer how loud and obnoxious the crowd is, the prcsemer; an:: always louder and more obnoxious.

"I 1hough1 1h01 Lhc shouting was a 101 of fon." said Maria Bierle. majoring m

commercial ans .

Music 111s1ructor Gerard Mathes, 36, defended his title, winning for 1hc 'iCC!Ond time in o row.

Mathes chose King Lear Act 3 for hi~ shouting. Mis fnce turned bright red and his eyes looked beady and glazed. He looked as if he were going to explode.

Opening his mouth wide. he bluncd ou1the words of King Lear m a dramatic and unbelievnble voice.

"I do it for the money." Mathes snid.

Besides the shouting. other contc~tants used props such ru. snow skies. Crowd panicipation was u1;cd by following the rhythm of the audiences clnppmg, and quick. tongue-ticing riddles.

Bowie bound to bounce back

by Devin Quiroz-Olh•er s~111i11t l Reporter h 1, a pnn of 1he endless cycle of rock and roll 1ha1we have all ~en numcrou, times. Every survi ving legend of rock nnd roll must. at some time, make a comeback. The most rcceni participant~ in 1his cycle include Pink Floyd, S1ing.

Eric Clapton and Neil Young-all of whom seem 10 have adopted a newfound quietness.

David Bowi~. however. is onc rocker who refuses 10 die quietly. Unlike Clapton's "Blue~ from the Cradic" and Sting·~ "Ten Summoner's Tales," which were much more mature than their earlier ~ucccsses. Bowie i.cems to be riding the edge of what\ hot once more with his new album "Eanhling." For the fir'lt time 111 almost IO yenrs.

Bowie appeal$ to know cxneily where he is going with hi, music.

Nearly 30 years ago. when the Belllles were just beginning 10 wind down. Bowie was just beginning

to explore the swaying tide of the music industry.

Since then, pulling out close 10 thirty album~. including various soundtrncks and side projects with the likes of Brinn Eno and Tin Machine, he ha.s explored nearly every aspect of popular rock. adopting a kind of chameleonic nuilude 1ownrd music. From the glam-bnnd days of"Ziggy S1ordus1," 10 the straight pop of"Lct's Dance."

Oowie seems 10 have been and done JI nil.

During the ·10s. he explored both the disco and punk trends, nnd In the eighties. he became one of the more recognizable icons of the pop crowd. Ever one to keep up on the latest rage. his last album, "Outside"- a sleeper success in its own rightborrowed heavily from the industrial vibes of Trent Rcinor. with whom Bowie toured last year.

In his latest incnma1ion, the thin, white duke has rnken on Dru m and Bnss. or Jungle music, the upand-eoming dance-pop ahemative, which gcis its roots paninlly from the technology 1ha1 has largely

resided in dance club~ across AmeriCll, and 1hc heavier, oc1d-filled industrial music. On "Outside."

Bowie carried the feeling of being out of his element throughout the entire album. as though the Industrial mu~ic he wns singing 10 belonged 10 n younger gc nerniion. While "Outside" had several good songs on it, it wa;, hindered by 1he awkw:ird, spoken tracks which carried a futuristic, but m1hcr weak sci-fi plot.

Wi1h "Earthling;· Bowie has learned more about the technology 1ha1 gives his new sound life and has found a niche in the blazing fast rhy1hm of drum and bass. Though not destined to be a classic (unless you are a David Bowie fan). "Earthling" is worth checking out if you enjoy 1he synthetic and san1plcd sounds ofTechno, lndusma l or Trip Hop. In foci. Bowie sounds so natural that it almost seems a shame 1hn1 he wasn'1born about 15 years later than he was. Teohnology seems 10 have caught up with his sound.

'Dogma' delightful

by Dill Ca ncpo Se111i11rl Rl!f)Ortrr

If you pa,scd the in1crsection of Govcmm~n1 \V(ly and Northwest Boulevard on Saturday, March I. you muy h~ve heard some strange music 1ha1 seemed to be coming from nowhere. And if you did. you cnn rest assured that you were missing one of the beM shows thm Coeur d'Alene has ~ecn in years.

Mama's Dogma rocked the rickety old rafters of the Coeur d'A lene Cultural Center with 11 high energy show that kept the crowd dtmcing and their attention focused. TI1at wos quite a feat considering the average age of their (usualty 20somcthing) audience members was about 16. But whether 16 or 60. you couldn't help at least bobbing your head to the beat.

There is no doubt in my mind that Mama's Dogma has a big future ahead of them, a future much bigger than the Cultural Center. Tite biggest reason behind my thinking is their totally unique sound.

As I listened to them I found myself trying to put my finger on just whot kind of music I was hearing. I find that the only way I can describe them is wfth a combination af styles. They have created a blend of jazz., funk. blues and rock that

rcgard lcs~ of what I called 11. I JUSt l..ncw I want 10 hear more.

If you can' t tell. I love 1hh b:111d. r saw them for 1he first tune last summer at a benefit conccn at the Met in Spokane. They were the last band ou1 of 10 10 play their 20-minute set. nnd af1cr nine punk/mc1al bands. Mama's Dogma came out and played something different. TI1cir sound was not something you wouldn't expect from 1hc Nonhwest, especially from a city like Spokane. s1ill trying hard, and usually foiling. 10 remove itself from the shadow cast by Seattle.

I'vc been singing thei r praises and ii mokcs sense that I would tell you 10 buy their CD. but I really can't do that in good conscience. What makes this band great is their high energy live performances, and aflcr seeing them. their album, "Hope," seems somewhat nat and boring. The improvisational solos that encompass their live shows and demonstrate the immense talent of every member arc missing from their studio recordings, and I lost interest quickly.

But, hey, my job's 10 tel1 you about the concert, not the album. In a nutshell, it was a great show, put on by five very talented guys, playing music like no one else.

Classical guitar creates culture shock

For 1ha1 hour. Grove ~.11 m a chair and played an army of classical pieces from 1he 18th. 19th and 201h ccn1uries. and his passion for the ntubic wa, appan,nl.

Brca1hing in unison w11h every move of hb hand. his face was a con1111ued mo; of con1onions. and just watchmg him added emphasis 10 every no1e. He commanded 011cn11on.

I ~uppose you could say 1hnt I was more 1han a liute impressed wi1h his abilities. The in1ricacie, of each )Clccnions fue led such speed and accurucy n~ I have never seen before. l·h, fingers new. and he never missed a note. or he did, he was playing much 10 fas1 for me 100 no1ice.

1 The perfonnances. sclicduled for April 23-24. consist of ~i.\ 10-minute plays directed by students, staff and community members and one 40-

minute piny called "Leap Year Mllllc-h1ld." written by D.J. Adm1s1on. directed by Rarick.

"Leap Year Mnnchild" is about the lack of communicouon within the family and illumu1es the way people don '1 pay ancmion ro what is said by others.

The theme, as Rarick described I.his set or pcrfonnnnces. is to give newer

ploys 1he opponun11y to be perfom1ed and to give anyone that has ever thought abou1 acting a chance to try ii w11hou1 a major c:ommitrnenL Since the main play 1s less ttwn one-third the size of a normal play, there is l~s of a burden 10 memonz.e the lines and cues.

Auditions were held Mnrch 12 and 13. The selections for were pos1ed on March 14 and 17.

When he awoke three or four days later; he was in a hospital bed, connected to a respirator: He had tubes in his nose and down his throat. .., couldn'11alk," he said. "I couldn'1 move anything: I couldn'1 even move my arms. I didn·t know wha1 wns going on... ii was SepL 24, 1994. and 18-year-old Neil Gustafson was a Lakehmd High School graduate.

While his bc.\l friend Hans Pc1erson drove the Toyo1a north on Highway 41 that night. 'Gustafson slept.

Driving 50 mph. Pc1erson also fell asleep and hit a parked semi-uuck head-on.

Peterson· s front teeth were knocked out; Gustafson'\ head hit the windshield and his neck snapped. His parents were told he would not make it through the night.

'They said I technically died two or three Limes," Gus111rson said. "I wasn' t expected 10 live."

But he did live. The fifth and sixth cervical vertebras on his spinal cord were shauered. but he lived. Bone from his hip was fonncd to make new vertebrae 10 fuse his neck: a metal plate connects ccrvicals four through seven. He remained in intensive care for three weeks before going 10 St. Luke's Rehabilitation Jnstitulc in Spokane where he spent three and a half mon1hs.

Peterson. who spe nt 1wo monlhb wi1h him at S1.

Lukc·s. said Gustafson never got down until 1he tl.iy he checked in 10 rehab. " He go1 quie1:· Pc1erson sa id... h kind of hit him:· .. You couldn·, pay me enough money 10 go back to rehab." GuMaf,on ~aid . .. h was the worst thing I ever had 10 do in my life."

"It was basically being an infan1 all over again." he said. ·'learning everything 1ha1 rd been able 10 do for 18 years."

Gustafson said he worked on gelling into and pushing a wheelchair: he refused to gel an electric one. .. It's not me: i1·s the easy way ou1;• he said.

"Everybody told me rd have 10 use one. Therc·s no way I would have."

Technically speaking. Gustafson. now 20. is quadriplegic: four of his limbs were affect.ed. He canno1 move his legs or fingers on either hand. He has no ches1, uiccp or stomach muscles. He mus1 rely on his biceps and foreanns for suppon.

During rehab, Gustafson viewed his disability as n

challenge.

"It was just a huge obstacle that knocked me down, and I was going to be!II it," he said.

In high school Gus1afson was an athle1e with scholarship offers in football and track, and he planned 10 play college football. The accident he survived changed his plans.

Gus1.a fson is still an alhle1e, he just ploys a different spon. He is involved in line fastest growing wheelchair sport: rugby. He is captain of the Spokane team and travels all over the natiom 10 play. Gus1afsoo is sponsored individually by Action. one of1he world's largest wheelchair manufac1urers.

"h (rugby) is unbelievable: I love i1," Gus1afson said. "1t·s full-con1ac1; i1's aggressive. Guys get knocked ou1 of their chairs all the time."

He is on a comm iuee to organize lhe national rugby championsh ips. held at Eas1ern Washing1on Univers ity's Pavilion in April. After national s. he said he will 1ry out for the United States learn 10 attend the world championships in Eng land this summer. His s ights are sci on pl ayi ng 1n the 2000 Olympics; wheelchair rugby was in1roduced as an Olympic spori last year.

Gus1afson said rugby has "dramn1icall y" improved his strength and independence since his re habilitation days. ·Tm 111hlc1ic and compe1i1ive again. which is one or 1he mos1 important 1hings in the world 10 me," he said.

He drives a van; he can keep up with taking no1e~ in class; he ll'avels to rugby games by himself. .., don'1 ask for a lot of s1uff: I don·t need a lot stuff," he said. "I'm so s1ubbom I'll usually U)' some1hing 10 or 11 1imes before I ask for help."

Positive about someday walking, Gustafson is also realistic. ·Tm 001 going 10 stick myself on that and 001 go on with my life until I can walk;· be said ...I'm nol going 10 s it around and feel sorry for myself; rm going to make do wilh what I hove ...

Sympathy is somelhing he woo'1 allow from himself or others. · ·1ne las1 thing I wani from anybody is sympalhy."

Gustafson said.

He said his family and Peterson were a major part of ge1ting through ii all. Bui what he wants from Lhem and anyone he meets is to be treated normal. " If we're popping off. I wan1 !hem (friends) 10 drag me out of my chair 10 wrestle and fight," Gustafson said. "I don't wont them 10 treat me any differently:· " He·s just a normal guy," Pe1erson said.

He's a normal guy who inspires 001 only those at lhe rehab ccn1cr, but he also inspires !hose wilhou1 physical handicaps;
