Axe falls Associate dean loses job in air of controversy b)' Mar, Sdla mad1er

Jn a furprisc move, the NIC Board of Trustees vo~ March 24 (after an executive session) Lo climina1e the Associate Dean of lns1ructioo from the list of positions to be funded nm year.

Dennis Cormers, who holds that position, said, " I have a few weeks to find a new job. Obviowly it's a shock."

Conn'1s added that he ha.s sent a formal appeal to Board Chairman Dr. James Barton asking for a hcarmg at the April 22 Board meeung.

Conners said he would ask fOJ at least a one-yw continuation of his contract so he can finish projects he hM already begun.

"Ptnonnd polldcs and procedures is one of the major goals of the Title Ill grant," Conners said. "If they choose to not do II a1 all, it will be some time before NIC geu a manual that treau facuhy, adm1oisuators, naff and studenu equitably, fairly and legally.

"If they get someone else 10 do 11. 11 will take that much longer to build up the credibility and trust I have built up with faculty and admin1.s tration."

I n addition 1s the updaung of the college's long-range plan. which basically examines labor statis11c:1 and population ti'ffld_S in an effort to predict whal programs should be offered a1 the college, Conners said. The last plan was done with in-house statistics in 1982, while the updated plan will include a comprehensive, statistical study of the five-county region NIC serves.

Conners said l,e has also been charged with pu tting into place an administrative evaluation procedure. "something 1ha1 hasn't been done cffec1lvcly In the past."

I n addition, he 's working on a new

comprehensive formal for student evaluations of instructors-a sidebar 10 his current involvement m facuhy evaluations. " I would lilce a chance t.o justify what I do." Conners said, adding that when 1he board went m10 executive .session, he was DOI e,.en aware his job was in jeopardy.

T bt nm morning NIC President Barry Schuler banded him a letter informing him lhat his position had been eliminated.

Conners taught law and labor rcla· lions classes at WSU last year in addition to commuting 10 Coeur d'Alene LO carry out his duties at NJC. He said last year the college sent him a memo assuring him that bis position would ha,-c been funded by hard money (directly from the budget, not from grants) if not for an "unanucipated" amount of Title Ill (soft) money.

•·n ,y made a commitmco1. so I felt I needed Lo do the same," Coll.Offl said, adding that he and his wife Barbara bought a tiouse and mo\ed with 1bcir 1wo children to Nonh Idaho from Pullman in July.

"We sunk cverytlting v.e have into Coeur d'Alene," Conners said.

NIC Dean or Instruction Owen Cargo! concurred with Conners' as.scssment of lbe poor job prospecu this Lime of year. " Yoo need to sta.n looking a year in advance," he said. Competition isso intense one can hardly c:xpea to find a position simply by applying for the fev. jobs still available, he said.

Board of Trustee Jay Couch said the position wa.s cut as a budge1-reducuon measure. He indic.atcd more cutsprobably in lhe administrative ranks-

may come as the budget is worked up in lhe next few months.

Programs with declining s1udcm intcrCSJ art another option. he said. " In a school !bur are some you can't do without, such as English tea.chcrs," Couch said. "Administrative duties could be picked up b) others or done

mance is obviously going to suffer."

Cargo! said.

"It's been a faculty concern that ad· minis1ra1ors get out among them 10 learn rheu concerns," Cargo! said. "I 'vc tried 10 reserve time to do so. I can because Dennis is here."

Cargo! cited faculry evaluations as another area that would suffer if Conners' position were not reins1a1ed.

The facuh.) and staff generally have been concerned regarding Conncn' elimination, Cargo! said-suppon Conners said is "hcancning." The Facuhy Assembly April 3 raised a motion 10 call for Conners' reinstatement, however that motion was tabled because of lime rcs1,rictions. Discussion ,,as 10 be reopened a1 yesterda)•'s meeting, bul results were 001 a,•ailable a1 press time.

With Conners gone, NIC's business law class might have to be dropped as well. Cargo! 3dded, because in the past the college has had trouble finding someone 10 1each it. Conners has 1augh1 the cla.ss as part of his duties. saving 1he college an es1ima1ed Sl,000.

Cargo! dedintd comment when asked if he felt the trustees were exhibiting good faith with the federal government by elimilllltins a Title Ill posi1ion. He did say F. Selby Till. project monitor. indicated the elimination of positions was "inconsistent" with Title 111 guidelines. "h might look like bad faith." Couch said. "I consid'1ed asking for dropping all (Title Ill positions).'· According 10 NIC Director of Development Jo Webb, Title 111 grants are given to colleges with the idea that the "soft money" gradually wiU become "hard money" over the course of the grant.

Dennis Conners without, so that is the logical phi,~ to cut."

"I suggested we eliminate some positions. no person in particular," Couch said, adding that lhe personnel committee and Schuler selected I he associate dean position.

As to .,.hat other posiuons arc being scrutinized for trimming from the budget, Cooch S11id. "We told the presi· dent 10 let us know "ho clsl' he can get along 11o1lhout."

If Conom' duties arc shifted 10 other adrmrustrators, "the qWllity of perfor-

Let's have a laundry party Editor has temper tantrum I. find few things in this life more enjoyable than doing my laund11 Seriously.

There's nothing quite like spcoding Sa1urday morning~ m a fabled Laundromat watching machines systemaucally pilfer qumers from unsus~ting bachelors in an effort 10 wash and dr) a da) or two·~ v.orth of dirt out of nannel shins and Fruit-of-the-Looms.

But the real reason I love 10 pad my way 1mo 1hese linolcum-Ooored cathedrals is 1he people. I've disco,ered 1ha1 its malls, bo"'liog alleys and Laundroma1s where 1he 1rue characters han2 out.

1had an ins1ructor who used 10 sho"' up al lhe same Laundromat each Saturd_ay at about the same timr 1did. O\lo, that guy had laundr) do11on to a science. He used to line up his hangers on the table so he could grab one without them puuing sleeper holds on each other. and he -ttmed 10 know exactly when each anicle of clothing v.as dizz, enough to be plucked from the dryer. · He al o lil.ed to plll) games wi1h the dryer He \\OUld ~ 1f he could dart h1~ hand in, grab out a ~oh tat} p:ur of underwear and ~lam the door shut again without making the dryer stop or ge111ng ~o.:k, hitchhiking 11o 1th the undi~. It was always the same pair of undernear, too- the blad: ones with the chain linl..s printed across the !rom of them. He alv.a}") told me the chaim "'ere to hold back the uger L~t Saturda)• I ,,as in that Laundromat again, and an elderl) couple in their late 60s walked in and commenced 10 fill si., "ashe~ \lo 1tb d Olh~.

I think the~ ,,ere probabl} the type that hate 10 do laundr). ~o they -a,. ed about IS )'ears worth in an effort 10 get it all over v.ith at the same time.

And soon, my thouj!hl ,,ere confirmed. I sat there and watched in disbelief as tha1 lady dumped enough \\ hi1e h:ing laundr> soap mto one of those washers to clean both Richard Nh;on·s and George Hansen's clothes. And, as if that wasn't enough. she added a couple of cups of Arm and Hammer Detergent Booster-just for good measure. 'lo, this was not a smgle stain she wanted out of those pieces of apparel: it apparently was dirt that had accumulated for man,• ,ears-and she had chosen that day to make those v. rongs right. · On Tue:.day, April 22, at - :30 p.m., in the Bonner Room, 1111oill be laundr, da~ for • onh Idaho College. and hopeful!)·, the Board of Trustees will be washing Barry Schuler's laundr). The faculty should be there with detergent; the Trust~ an: the ones that O\\D the washer, and the Laundromat belon~ to the community of C~ur d'Alene. Some NIC students should be there as well to throw in a little detergent booster.

Following last Thursd11y's ,•ote of "no confidence," in the college's president. the Faculty Assembl~ sent a lener to Schuler and Board Chairman James Barton calling for Schuler's resignation. Although ultimate!} the decision lies "'ith the Board, it is a general feeling that the outcome will depend on input from the community leaders.

Howe"er. Trustees Don Sausser and Jay Couch reported!} told a Spokcsman-Re,·iew writer that negath·e feedback from members of Lhe Coeur d'Alene communit)' would not carry much weight "'ith them. No"' that ·s what I call representing the , iews of the voting public.

But, omehow. that doesn't surprise me. Board members ha~e been Schuler yes-men (and women) for a long time, and to ask for Schuler's resignation would be to admit that they', e b~n 11oTong in many of their decisions. And, we all know how big a person it takes to admit that he or she's been wrong-almost ccnainly bigger than an) of the people who Sil on the Board.

I don't know if he's got his clown suit on again or what, but Schuler seems to think (as do many uninformed students and communfry members) that this is only a personal battle be1v.ecn him and me. 'othing could be farther from the truth-and the faculty's overwhelming vote should prove that.

Al any rate. there'll be a laundry pany nex1 Tuesday night. and I for one am looking forward to it. I would also like to urge ALL concerned students, faculty and community members to be there-with quarters, of course.

Rest assured that I'll be there-with the bleach.

Dear Ednor. unfortunately the issue of Barry Schuler's prcsenll} alleged m,.,conduct has d1s,ol\ed down into a personal ,endeua of " Breeden ,s.

In America a man is innocent un1il pro,en guilty. This issue should be treated more subt.ly instead of like a Spanish bullfight-where the hero goads the C\ ii beast until he must succumb. Qu11e often the hero gets gored first!

Schuler issue: student states time for change Dear Editor: In regards ro the President Schuler controversy. As a member of the community for a number of years and a student at NIC for two years, I have seen President Schuler descend from a strong force for 'IC in Boise to an ineffectual whimper.

Mr. Schuler \\a5 a very good president for IC in the beginning. He was able 10 get money and funding for the college, giving it the ability to establish itself as a top junior college in the orthwcst. Yet as time passed his effectiveness wore out, as is so ,,;th all things.

1 IC is run as a bureaucracy, and all bureaucracies need to ha, e ne,, blood infused periodically. So, I feel that we should call for President Schuler's resignation and have a new, effective person who c.in get NIC the funds that it needs so it can retain the status that President Schuler was able to secure.

Sincerely, Robert W . Stull ASNIC Vice President

Time is now to plan for next y ear Now that finals are in sight and the end of the semester appears to be a reahi>, it's time 10 plan for next seme~ter.

Fall semester will be here all too soon. ~o it ~ecms wise to do as much preparation now as you can. This will save you 1hc ln)lâ&#x20AC;˘minutc hassles in August of trymg 10 find your adviser. figuring out your schedule and deciding 1f you ha,e a future.

All s1ude1m "ho arc planning 10 return to NIC need 10 complete an Application for Re-admission. It is a short fonn \\hich con be picked up ar the adm1) ions "mdow in the Administration Building. and it i~ rather painless to complete. This form helps u~ 10 ensure we have your proper nddres~. phone number, major and so on. tr you plan to apply for financial aid, you should do ~o immediately. The forms arc round in the Student Service Office, upstni~ in the SUB. Jim Upchurch i our resident expert. Please ask him any questions )'Ou have before you len, e for the summer.

The Financial Aid process is a very complex one, 50 you "hould put :,omc extra time into it to ensure e,erything is taken care of pro))(!ri)'.

The Student Service~ Office also handles student housmg need . Contracts for the dormnon can be obtained there and should be completed ~oon.

P osition defined; Board to decide In a letter sent earlier this week to the Board of Trustees, members of lhe Executive Committee of the Faculty Assembly drafted a statement definiog lheir position on Lhc vote of " oo confidence" io Barry Schuler.

One of the eight areas listed begins, "Few on the faculty would deny that Mr. Schuler has made significant contributions LO N"IC, or that he is conscientious and dedicated.''

The faculty did not blindly vote based on one or two issues of l he past year. It based its vote on years of inadequate leadership and naws in character.

The issues include: I) " ... Mr. Schuler's continued e\'asions. half-truths and misrepresentations of fact on a wide variety of sensitive issues. These include serious inconsistencies and favoritism in hiring and promotion as well as repeated instances of vindictiveness in demotion and dismissal.''

2) " ... instances in which employees or the public have been denied access 10 documents or information which Lhc law guarantees shall be open 10 inspection: budgets, college expenditures and employees' own personnel riles.

The climate of distrust created by such episodes is counterproductive.

3) "The faculty and administration find Mr. Schuler's position on inteUcctual freedom, as conveyed by both his actions and his words, incompatible: v.;th educational C."<· cellencc.''

4) As far as censorship of the college newspaper: " ... the maJOnt) of the faculty belie-.e that, in the final analysis. the underlymg principle of the constitutional right to freedom of expression is 001 one wltich ma} be compromised. least of all b) an educauonal institution... ·•

unpopular or unwise. have almost without exception been blamed o n others ... " ) ''The focuh> and ad ministrators ... believe that leadership is more than simply controlling and managing." ) "One of the mo t disturbing aspects of Mr. Schulcr's recent comments, and of his actions over the years. hns been his eq uating o r his own personal welfnre and prestige wi th tho e of the college. He has repeatedly indico1cd his belief that cntimm of him is synonymous with disloyalty to the college.

5) As far ~ the mability to obmin funds from the lcg.1Slature: " ... the facuh> per!>1s1s in its belief. based on comments from numerous leg.1.sfathe \etcran.s, tltat the college could and should do a beuer job of presenting its case."

"The Execuuve Commiuce believes thot nil member~ of the A~sembly, regardless of which wa y they voted on thi~ motion, voted for what they think nre the best interests or the: college and the community we serve.''

So, that's where the faculty )land~. Now, it is hoped the Board or Trustee~. which makes 1hc ultimate decision, will base such a decision on the facts and not lei emotional friendships cloud 11s Judgments.

6) " ... he (Schuler) hlb a long history of appropriating credit for policies. plans. and numerous mstructionaJ and adjunct programs \\ hich he has ignored, shown weak support for or bas acthely impeded. He has been less than la,ish in praising or even acknov,.Jedging othen· role in th~e accomphshments. On the other hand, shortcomings and failure ro reach goals, as \lo ell as decisions which prove

Galactic visitor disappoints viewer While I was growing up, my father often joking)) complain about a certain relative of ours who would drive through 10.,.n, on the freeway less than a half-mile away from our house, and nc, er stop or even drop a dime in a phone to call. Even now, I have a suspicion lhat he still holds a tiny grudge toward I.his relative and her rudeness.

I can empathize with him. Being snubbed by someone else has to be on 1he lower end of everyooe's list of life's pleasures.

However. one can feel just as dejected when you get I.he cold shoulder from something which couldn't give you a ring even if it could drop a coin in a pay phone to call as it's passing through lhe solar system.

Solar system?

Naturally, I didn't really want Halley's Comet to drop in on me while it was passing by (I'm thankful ii didn'l because I hate big messes), but I wish it would have made itself a lit1le more accessible:.

After all. we were old friends. Al least I thought we were.

As far back as when I was in lhe first grade. I remember hearing about the comet and its heaveoly beauty.

Along with millions of others. I had anticipated its arrival for a good portion of my life. waiting for the once-in-a-lifetime chance co see one of the galaxy's most famous celebrities.

I have to confess I.hat I am more than a little disappointed v.~th its much publicized 1986 visit. I feel cheated. For years, I've heard and read stories of how over the centuries the comet created fear and superstitions in the minds of our ancestors as they viewed I.he glowfog object during regular earthly visits.

So what happened? For near()' two years the media bli12 which prccccded the comet's arrival seemed to indicate there would be quite a show in the skies. Obviously this oevcr materialized.

I ri rst began to reali~e that something was amiss when newspaper and television stories began telling us I.hat wilh I he aid of a pair of biooculars the comet could be easily viewed.

Binoculars'? Binoculars!? I wanted a near miss: I wanted to feel its warmth as it passed by: I wamed 1he Fourth of July! But most of all,

El

ed mcdonald

l at least wanted to sec the damned lhing-withou1 binoculars.

I can't really say that I never got a glimpse of it because I did. In late December, about I a.m., I did sec the comet very low on t.he southern homoo. With the outside temperature hovering near zero, the infiniu:simal comet seemingly changed hues of color as ii winked and moved steadily across the sky. With my hands, feet and face freezing, I didn't spend a lot of time being awe-stricken with a piopoint of light.

I suppose a great deal of my cfuappoinunent has to stem from the fact that I'm in North Idaho and the best viewing of the comet was to be in I.he southern s-iatcs. However. I've talked to a brother who lives in Texas, and he wasn't exactly overwhelmed either.

I'm oot going to stop looking skyward. Despite the face that it was closest to earth April 10, the comet will still be in the galactic ocighborhood through a good portion of May and perhaps I'll still have an opporrunity to get a more memorable glimpse of the comet that I will be able to tell my children's children about.

A short note to the NIC Board of Trustees which meets Tuesday. April 22. I strongly urge sincere consideration of lhe NIC Faculty Assembly's \'Ole of •·no confidence" in President Barry Schuler.

One would be hard put to find a knowledgeable pcrso_n 1~at ~isagrecs with lhe fact that Schuler h.u not been an a55e1 to the msutuuoo. The evidence of this surrounds us on campus. .

Ho"'ever. it is imperati,·e Lhe trustees look beyond aU lhis and realize that all rivers run their course. It is now time 10 make a change.

Of toes, marks, cockroaches & honor mike

carey In the midst or all the brouhaha surrounding President Schuler's recent personnel moves and the more recent backlash from his main personnel cadre-the faculty-I am stung to write about toes. marks, cockroaches and sacred honor.

But, first, sincere apologies to any arts and entertainment afficionados who ma>· have been actually expecting to read a column about the arts or about entertainment.

Since the news concerning ils Rosdahl's grievance case first appeartd in prim. Sentinel staffers have been deluged with juicy tidbits about various Schuler peccadillos-ranging from the maudlin drivel or backbiters to the genuine uorcqui1cd grie\'ances of "alking wounded. lni1it1II). I fell "'armed by the apparent rally-

ing of Rosdahl's comrades-in-arms to an injured brother. However, that v.armth "as quickly smothered b) 1he chill) realizauon that, with a fe" , isiblc exceptions. most of the rallying amounted to little more than funive whupcring in secluded alcO\'CS. :-.ow, a second casualty-Dennis Connershas fallen under the treads or Schuler and his Board's remorseless machine.

The \ Olume or 1'hispering has swollen some, but w bt1e arc those comrades possessed with sufficient courage of their comictioos to talc a place in the ,isiblc ranks- to step up and toe the mark-to fortify their whispering with action?

I salute the Sherry Boswells, the Bob Bobacs and the others in 1hat small corps or stalwans who have already taken career risks to square up to a ,·olatilc po" er broker. You are reminiscent of an earlier group of stalwarts who, in 1776, pledged their U, es, fortu.ncs and sacred honor 10 rid thcmseh·es of tyrannical leadership.

Are s11cred honor and moral courage to be the legacy of only a handful at N[C'?

To the impotent whisperers and backbiters: consider the cockroach. He scunles out of the wood\\Ork on warm nights when all the lights arc

switched off to forage and spread dirt. When the lights arc nicked on, he dives back into the woodwork; a consumate survtvor, the cockroach.

Scientists say that he ranks among the oldest survivmg life forms. But, he is utterly without honor.

Lorics 11bouod aboul noble acu or even heroics by other members or 1hc amm.al kingdom-dogs. horses. deer and ants, to name a few. Cockroaches have not received so much as an honorable mention-and for good cause. Nobili1y and heroism belong to risk-Lakers. never to mere survivors.

To those still crouching wi1h one foot safcl)' hung in 1he 1,1;oodwork: stand up and test your mettle alongside the Bos"ells, ct al. who have alread) formed the ranks of an honorable vanguard. .

To lhe commilled survivors: stay 1n Lhc woodwork. but keep an antenna tuned to the w1odthis situation could change rapidly and release you to a wider range of safet}'.

In any event. these are times for.each of us 10 e.,.aJuate issues. measure personal ~sk, co~nl the cost and take our respcc1i, c pla.:e m Lhe line. in the woodwork or at some point in t,,ciwcen.

Earlier this wcel:, Exccu1ive Committee mcmben or 1he Faculty Assembly issued a statement to the Board of Trustees outlining its reasons for the vote of "no confidence."

The NIC Board of Trustees is expected to hear testimony on the issue at its April 22 meeting "'hen petitions from the community and students calling for Schulcr's resignation arc to be presented.

Reciprocity saves residents money b) Ed McDonald North Idaho College and Washington State officials will soon begin negotiations on a new reciprocity agreement for the coming academic )·ear.

According to Owen Cargol, dean of instruction, Kootenai County college students we~ able 10 53vc more than SI 00,000 last year bccau.sc of the reciprocity agreement between NI C and !he State of Washington.

The agreement allows students from Idaho to enroll in Washington schools without paying full out-of•state 1ui1ion. Ho~er. a stude.nt must enroll io programs not available at NIC or one of this state's olhcr in· nitutioos of higher learning.

Thiny.four Kootenai County residents ancnded EWU last year as junion and seniors with a waiver of SI .900 each in out-of•state tuition. Five g:radW1te students were able 10 m:dve the same tuition waiver.

• In addition, 11 local students were able 10 enroll in community colleges in Spokane that offered cotITTCS not offered at NIC. Each of those students saved S1,070 in extra tuition charges.

Fif1ccn other s1udcn1S allended WSU, UW, Central Washington University and Western Washington University at a Sllvings of SI .900 each.

Cargol said the agreement has so far proved 10 be tremendously popular-especially for !hose students

who find they arc unable 10 tea,c the area to finish their b:lc:calaurea.tc degree or specialized technical program.

Jessick finishes chapter

by Teresa Afrcr 18 years at NI C, Rosemary Jessick has finished her final chapter as a library clerk nnd will close her book by retiring in May. A long-time resident of Coeur d'Alene, Rosemary b«ame aquointed with the college in 1937 when she was one of the first to attend NIC on a scholarship program.

Majoring in business. the school at that time was called Coeur d'Alene Junior College and was loca ted on the rop floors of the old City Hall building on Sherman A,enue Rosemar)' said she still remembers running up and down Shermao A,enue 10 classes that were located in different buildings in the aren.

Since she has bttn at NlC. Rosemary said there has been great e~pansion. The staff has more then doubled and buildings such as Seiter Hall. Hedlund Vocation:il. Communication-Arts and Winton Hall have all added chapters to her memory book.

One oi her fondest memories is the time that she was tried by law students for laughinJt in the library. She based her defense on entrapment and was

Crim eventually found innocent.

However, RostmarY sa.id e..Hlean and now Coeur d'Alene Mayor Ra) Stone was not so luck)'. He v.'115 found guilty of writing in rhc wet cement during the construction of Seiter Hall.

As far ns the future of 'IC? "If the legislature is good 10 us. we'll haH' a new library." she commented.

However, she will not be around to break it in.

ROStmary Jessiclc With all her spare time that is supposed to come v.itb retirement. Rosemary said she hopes 10 spend it doing volunteer work aod ,isiting her children in Oregon.

NIC: 'Lucky charm' for runners

by Wyndl Strobd

AJe Jruh eyes still smiling? That remains to be seen.

Sean Fox, Alan Bradeen, Sandra Mooney and Eugene Brennan-all Irish exchange students who have been at NIC for the pa.st 1wo years~v.ill be returning 10 Ireland this spring.

Sean said the four of them have known each other for about 10 years. wuh friendships starting and growing in the suburbs of Oubhn. Alan and Scan, the fim of the foursome 10 cross the Atlantic, ran together in Belgium and France.

These two arrived at NIC m January of 1984. followed by Eugenem June and Sandra in August of the same year. All four will be graduating this May and returning home shonly after.

NIC cwrently has ten lrnh students dolling its lawru, with the: majority of them running for the cross-counlf}' and track teams. In November of last year.

NIC went to the Nationah in cross country and or the seven ~tudcn1 s attending, five were Insh Bui •Ith 20-20 hindsi,ht , they all agree that their expectations of Amcnca weren't e~actly true to form - most of the time they were s urpassed.

"We thought 11 would be like the T V shows back home," Sandra said. " Like Dalla\ or Dyn3sty." "fhc wca1her was cold, " Scan chimed m. "It was different . It (C-0eur d'Alene) was n lot sm:\ller 1han home "We were really homesick for the first couple mon1 In." " I though! 1h01 it would be o very fast pace of life, like New York City," Eugene added.

But Alan JUJt tu ned back in his chair and sighed "We really d1dn'1 know who1 It WIil like.''

According to Sandra, America 1s very similar 10 England in some of its social

values. In Ireland. divorcr and abortion an illegal, so people in their country go LO England LO receive such services.

"It's not that people arc bad,• she said. "It's just that they're different. " Ont thing lh•t the rour or them agreed on was the imdepcndcnt altitude that Americans seem to cxcn. " At home it's mo re or a community effort, " Scan said, · 'where here you' re more or an individual. You do what you like."

"Herc c:vcrybod)• is equal. They're very li betal," Eugene added. " At home people don't leave home until they get married."

These Irish students were also surprised to sec so many cars sprinting about-especially for high school and college students.

"America Is a material world," Scan said. .. Amencaos look at success measured by "'ealth, whereas Irishmen measure it b)· happiness and family:• "It's still the land of oppoTtunit)·1herc's no doobt abou1 that," Alan c~mmented.

Most d~bcd their life in the ruues as 1he chance or a lifetime and aprcssed some doubu about once agwn er=· mg 1he Atlantic. " Despite hoY. much v.c m1u our home and famjl). we',c enjoyed this count!} so much Y.·e arc apprehmsl•c 10 go home:," Sandra said. " It's going 10 be hard 10 go b.!ck to that rcstncti,e wa) of life," Eugene added. "Coming 10 NIC "'11S the ~t thi ng for me."

One thmg that rcall) surprned Scan when he fim am,·ed WM how laid-back everyone was.

"Yea, they encourage you 10 learn," Eugene added. "You want to do well for their sake as well as your own. " Sandra said that education in the states is ,-ery dirferenl than ovcrsca.s. lo Ireland, each mtdent takes a comprchensi,-e test at the end of high school and that determines a student's gpa for

education back home."

Each of them were also very grateful to Coach Mike Bundy.

"Coach Bundy gave us the opportunity to better our educ:ntion and ourselves by coming over here," Sandra said. " Rt encourages our education as the number one objective," Scan added.

"As a result, we BIC all proud to be 1he iim (Irish students) and hopefully not

Off-the-wall sport hits North Idaho There is a fast and exciting spon that has recent· ly been imponed to North Idaho from the east coast. II incorporates a volleyball net Slnlllg across a racquetball court a.nd its own unique rules and style of play.

The game is called wal.lyball.

1.ocal club members have been exposed 10 it for a couple years, but other than that the sport has been confined 10 the East and tbe South.

A local health club manager told me that wallyball is taking over back East just as racquetball did years before. ..The good part about it is that we can have eight people on a court, whereas we can only have two for racquetball." he said.

Wallyball is a much quicker game than volleyball because Lhe ball can be hit off lhe wall at most any point in the game.

Players must be ready for h.itS off the wall _f~om their teammates as well as from the oppos1uon.

Serves can skim along a side wall or be plastered against tbe back wall. Spikes can be scot straight 10 the floor or banked into the opposite coun with spin.

Tbe amount of English applied LO a ball plays a larger pan in wallyball 1.han in volleyball. Just as top-spin and back-spin in tennis magnify or minimize the speed of the ball after it connecu witb the ground, tbe wal.Jybal.l can be controlled off walls with the spin applied.

The ball cannot hit two walls during one hit, but that still doesn't limit the speed of the game much.

Wallyball would be a good chance for serious \Oleyballers 10 stay in competition form in the off. season. or it can simply offer a unique change of pace.

The gamr. aua be played in many combinations of teams: 2--oo-2; J-on-3; 4-oo-4; and any co-cd comb10ations.

The men's competition uses an eight-foot net, and the women use a seven-foot-four net.

Getting in on this sport now is ~peciall~ exciting because Lbe sport i~f is ~~~gas quickly as itS players develop their ab11iues.

WallybaU is young arid fresh, but I thi~ it wiU soon overpower some of today's popular indoor pastimes.
