Students opposed Gallery should be put to a vote b)' Cheri Whitlock
The majority of students on the NJC campus feel a study lounge is more appropriate than an art gallery, according to a recent poll. A1 an Oct. 30 meeting of last year, the ASNJC established a room in 1he base, ment of the SUB as an an gallery following its decision !au spring 10 appropriated over SJ,000 to change the ligh1ing in the room. Consequently, 1he room now only can be IIS(d as a study lounge for the two weeb prior 10 and during mid-term and final eiiams. A poll of 33 randomly selected students indicates that the opinions of the itudenl body were not as well represented in 1he issue as previously thought. Of the 33 student s polled, only two felt that an art gallery in the SUB wu a worthwhile idea. Studenl Dnrren Hun1 said that an a!1 gallery would give NIC a,tists as well as local artists a chance 10 display their works, while one other student said he

~ Single parents vs. library dan breeden
As the cash register sang out its song of woe, Denice sank her band back into her purse to scratch for the balance. Only able to find another $2.53, she turned to look at Leigh, her 12-ycar-old daughter. Without having to say a word to bee, Leigh pulled her hand from her tattered jacket pocket and handed over the crinkled three SI bills she had been able to taJk her father out of the weekend before. While the people in line behind her looked around impatiently, Denice handed the money and food stamps to the young man behind the counter Leigh didn't say a word. Her mother would repay her-someday. " The worst thing is unexpected things-usually medical or mechanical," Denice says. "Last week I took Leigh 10 the doctor and it cost me $25 for an office call and $Si.SO for X-rays." "The kids have some medical insurance, but most doetors and pharmacies want cash. It takes three to six weeks to get reimbursed from insurance companies; there's no way to plan ahead." Denice is an NIC student. She's a single parent raising two kids. She geis child support. She gets food stamps. Her son, Jon, is on medication that costs over $SO a month. She is not alone. Diane is also a single parent who is fighting her wa)• through NIC in an effort to get an education-only Diane has three kids ages 7, SV: and 4. Diane also gets child support, food stamps and government assistance on her utility bills. But the difference betweem income and outgo leaves little money for such extravagances as seeing a movie or going roller skating. "Even once in a while people will take us out, but you get tired of freeloading," Diane S8)'S. "We spend our summers on the beach. That's what we live for." While Diane is at school, her youngest son, David, goes 10 his grandma's house. It's the cheapest kind of day care, Diane admits, but "he gets plenty of love there." Actually, in some way!> Denice and Diane are lucky-their ex-husbands pay their child support on a fairly regular basis. Denice's ex-husband takes the kids every other weekend, and although Diane's husband li,·es over 1,000 miles away and can '1 see the kids. she getS free day care because her mother lives in town. Dawn, on the orher hand, is noc quite as fortunate. She also is a single parent and student at NIC. Howe,·er, the SI 75 her ex-husband is supposed to send from Montana each month sometimes doesn't make it into the mail-and that's her only income. Dawn pays S52 a month for rent (she lives in an income-based appanment complex), an average of $40 a month in utilities, over SIOO a month for food and a minimum of S70 a month in day care because her parents live in Bonners Ferry-100 far 10 drive every day for a baby sitter. If my math has not diminished over the years, Dawn is short about $87 each month- and that's not counting her gas 10 and from school, her $336 tuition and her books. The only way shl' bas made it this long is because she received a S700 Pell Grant at the beginning of the semester-the last of which she just spent on her car's insurance for the next six months. There's a Catch 22 going on here at NIC, and it's a real dHemma. In order 10 give the studentS here a first-rate education, the administra· cion feels thac a new library/ computer science building is essential. And few people would argue with that . However. if Denice, Diane, Dawn and the other 226 srudcnlS like them can't keep affording 10 anend NIC, then a new library won't be necessary-and few could argue with that either. RJgbl now NIC is in the process of lobbying for SS million for some concrete and shingles while all Dawn would like is enough money to finish school. All she wants is a good paying job so that sbe doesn't have to spend the rest of her life working in a fast-food restauranc. h's really not an elaborate request ... is it?
Students' responsibilities learned from class's prof A faculty committee seeks to bleed student rcprcsentaiion on the College Senate from three seats to two, and a teacher decries students as irresponsible, unreliable, not deserving the voice they have in the col· lege legislature. Something is adrift. When educators subordinate Lheir primary missfon- rhat of equ.ipping young men and women to assume future leadership roles in the society-to serve their own ends, 1he stench becomes eye-watering. And summary dismissal of students as unworthy to participate as minority members in policy-maxing opens the entire educational process to question. Why does North Idaho College exist, excepl to nurture budding leaders? Scrape the paint and varnish off the academic folderol. and what is left, except a crowd of learners seeking to acquire and tesl knowledge in a safe place? That teacher rightly observed that some students are not panicularly responsible nor reliable. But, what better place to learn responsibility lhan in school? And , who better to teach it than the faculty? Responsibility marks a mature individual, irrespective of age or sta· Lion in life. A mature person is a responsible person-student, teacher, adminisuator-it doesn't matter. Responsibility is still responsibility. Most follc.s learn it by watching authority figures in action and emulating them-learning by example. A Sentinel reporter conducted an informal responsibility survey early last Wednesday morning. Between 8: 15 and 8:42 he raced from building to building, checking faculty offices for signs of Life. Of the 15 instructors who advenised first period office hours, 11 were absent. Responsibility. Nobody can duck it-especially those responsible to set the example. Everybody suffers lapses, but lapses among lhe leadership should be exceptional- they are the role models. Does a teacher's responsibility 10 his students end at the lecturn, or is he 10 operate in a greater arena than the lecture hall? These questions beg sober answers-not to place blame, but, rather, 10 identify responsibility. Recriminations and evading one's responsibility lO cultivate responsible graduates (or to be cultivated) are counter-productive. Better lO role up the sleeves, spit in the palms and get to work. Leaders are waiting to be trained.

Editor should keep big mouth shut Dear Editor: In response to your article " Art gallery priorities need shuffling," you are way out of line on almost all your facts. You said, "With a little more than a five-minute discussion and the wave of a monetary wand, the board approved 1he request without the slightest consideration for the students who use it for study." You are way off base on that one, pal.
SUB (where I sec people studying all the time), the study area outside the bookstore, the NIC or public libraries (afterall (sic) that is what they are lhere for), any classroom not in use, or even your apanmcnt, dorm room or wherever it is you live. So I suggest you get off your high horse, ge1 your factS straight and keep your big mouth shut unless you know what you' re talking about.
The facts are, there was a semester of discusion (sic) on the room. There were aJso people around gelling names on petitions. On those petitions were names of studen ts, faculty and people of the community. There was consideration for the room as a study lounge. It will be a study lounge for the two weeks before mid-terms and finals and also during those 1wo weeks.
Sincerely, Donna Trueblood NIC an student
Why should the room be set aside for just a very small handful of students 10 study when there was seldom anyone in there? Moreover, you said, "Was the student body informed 1ha1 this study was being done ... thcy should show up down there during 1he days of the survey." Well, i1 doesn't matter one way or another if 1he student body was informed about the survey, because if there were students using the room for study, they would have been down there studying, survey or no survey! Furthermore, you said, "Obviously, they (students) were forced 10 look elsewhere for a quiet place to study .... " And in the start of your article you said .....you'd have 10 be a corpse 10 study in something 1h01 quiet." Well, you arc con1rodlc1ing yourself there, bud. Also, where do you get off saying "The art department and the Citizen's Council for the Arts had no business sinking that much money into a hole that a1, an art gallery is mediocre at be,;1." Let me ask you this: How many nrt galleries have you been in? And what makes you such an expert on art galleries? As for the art department, they didn ¡1 put any money into the gallery, the student body did! As for the Citi1.en\ Council for the Aris, what they do wnh their money is their business, and NIC and the community needs a non-profit, noncommercml art gallery. as there is no such gallery of thi:. l..ind in Coeur d'Alene. . You also go on to say, "After all. 1h01 building 1s colic~ the STUDENT Union Building, and thi~ college 1s for the students" ho attend 11. Why not let them decide?" Well, why not have an art gallery in the SUB, o.s it would be t"or the students and the community ns well as the an deparunent. B~ides, the athletic department not only has a gym but also a soccer tield and b3wball diamond. So tell me thi\: Ho\\ man>¡ \tudcnts actual!\' U\e tho~e (not mcluding the a t let~)?

Newspaper OK; should chastise rude students Dear Editor: I want to commend you and the entire staff of the Sentinel for doing a very fine job. Concrary to what some say, it isn't easy LO put so many diverse topics and opinions together nicely lime after lime. Would it be possible for one of the e.xcellcnt writers you have 10 do a brief art.icle on courtesy? Something simple that the simple-minded could understand would do the trick. I became aware of the need for something to be done about the lousy manners some of the NIC students have when I and a half-dozen other students were sitting in the Kootenai Room of the SUB. dilegcmly studying for upcoming exams. In wal12cs a large young man whose booming voice immediately announced, "Boy. it sure is quiet in here." For the next 10 minutes he was either asking questions of those who were obviously busy, or he was expounding on how he felt, what the weather was like and other mundane con"ersalion. The opportunity to study in a quiet place is at a premium on campus anyway... is it possible that those v. ho imcrrupt others while they are concen1ra11ng on studies arc una,\arc 1ha1 some of us DO need 10 study? Or do they just not care? I probably ,,ouldn'1 have thought too much of this mc1dcnt if 11 "ere the first time such had hapixned. But 1h1s same thing has been repeated several times this semester. In spite of the SU B's public domain status. shouldn't students be at least a liule bit considerate? Thanks for the opponuni1y 10 sound off. Sincerely. Alberta Johnston NIC Student

Financial aids: Wolf's at the door "A hard rai n ·s coming. " I'm no1 exaclly sure, bu1 I ihink it was Dylan or some other messiah from 1he sixties who uuered those or similarly prophetic words. Who C\CT II was. I'm "'ondering if a11ha1 time he didn' t have an in· side tip on President Rea~n·s proposed 198- fiscal year budgc1 for higher education . Certainly. it's obqous that storm~ skies are ahead for s1uden1~ na· tionwide. and it isn't the Channel 6 "ca1hergirl deli,enng the forecas1. Ra1 hcr it comes 10 all of us hard-working s1udents in the form of proposed Congressional budget cu1s. I find it pitiful and alarming 1ha1 our beloved president doesn't realize that a Band-Aid will no1 mend the nation's financial "ocs, but that's exac1ly 1he approach he and others in Washington are taking 10 baule the nation's crippling defici1. 1r Reagon and his cronies haH'. their "ay. we'll all be linng in an elitist society in which only the well-to-do minoniy will have access to higher education. Judging from informa1ion 1·,e gajncd through an m1ef\1e" wnh Jim Upchurch. IC director of financial aid, and a newslcuer I·,e recci,ed from Bill Kroger. coordina1or of 1he action commiuee for higher education. the proposed ans which will affect us ail as students are eye-opening. For example, 1hc Guaranteed Student Loan Program, "'hich supplies 62 percent of lotal federal fi nancial assisiancc, 1s in danger of collapsing cntirel). Banks na1ion"ide have indicated that they "ill be hesitant to participate in 1he program if special allowances are reduced and the in-school interest subsid)' 1s climma1ed. tudeo ts, according to Kroger, can expect changes affecting them as soon as nexl fall. Approximately 1. 186,000 students may be dropped from eligibility for programs already appropriated for fiscal year 1986 and scheduled for allotment ne.xl fall. These cuts would triple losses studenl5 have already suffered as a result of the Gramm-Rudman deficit rcduc· tioh act. A reduction of Pell Grants will result in dropping 290,000 middleincome students from the program and will reduce awards for 500,000 additional students with an annual income between $12,000 and $20,000. Another 304.000 students would feel the pinch when the Siate Stu·

dent Incentive program is eliminalcd. And an additional 900,000 awards will be affected by eliminating and affecting such programs as the Direct Loan. Supplemenial Grants and College Work Study. The numbers are numbing. For the following J987 fiscal year, according 10 Kroger and Upchurch, an additional S800 million would be lost because of Pell Grant restrictions conc:cming eligibility. When compared 10 the current program. nearly 816,000 students would find themselves ineligible. The list and its astronomical numerals goes on, and on, and on ... Why? I I doesn't make sense. Our elected officials in Congress arc supposed 10 look out for the best interests of the country: yet whenever budgetary cuts are called for, they encircle and a1tack higher education like a pack of mad, hungry wolves. I sincerely believe that the fulure of our country hinges upon the fate of higher education. The relationship is an obviously symbiotic one, and I fi nd it hard 10 understand why more people (especially elected ones) do not realize this. We arc a1 the threshold of a future in which many jobs depend upon higher education for training and education beyond the ~gh school education level and it's also cenain lhat a bleak economic future can be predicted for the nation. both at home and abroad. if there are not cn~ugh qualified people 10 fill jobs which call for skills learned through higher education. However, according 10 Upchurch, there is some hope before the ~oor closes completely-if students and others contact their elected offie1als. I encourage all students to heed his suggestion.

Indeed, word of the placoid punsters and their punny ariillery had permeated this neck or the Idaho woods, .ind they were malcmg a name for themselves. A Canuck named Harry Allen Dupe was the warm-up comedian and gor thing.1 rolling for 1he headliner. Harry said that last wttk a couple of rrid,-ortreaters dressed like Jehovah's Witnesses came 10 his door. "Oh, sure. They come to m) door ar 8 o'clock on a Wednesday mornill!, and they ha,·e the nene to call their map.z.ine A wokt. ·' Commenung on 1he recent efforts 10 raise money for charity projects, Harry said, "I hear they have a nt"' one comill! out called 'Rock mars against drugs · Sure.

together and raised S6 million in Canadian currency. But when they announced plans to send it 10 Ethiopia. the United S1a1es laughed, "Oh, yeah. What are thC} going 10 do-split a sandwich?" His girlfriend asked him the other day if he won the million-dollar lo11ery. would he still love her?

Arts/entertainment now in my court mike
carey Challenges keep life exciting. When John Hughes mired his editor's visor, I fell heir to a challenge that is a real brain-stretcher. Sportswritjng was comfonable, and people features were fun. That's not remarkable, though-I've been a sports fan for years and a people for as far back as I can recall. But. ans and entertainment is a whole n~ ball game (whoops, that slipped right out). Not to be daunted by a new assignment, l',e already begun boning up. Would you believe that a Tiffany and a timpani don't even look alike?
And. Roulette really wasn't a French impressionist? This is exciting. I've also discovered entenairunent beyond ESPN and Top Rank boxing-stand-up comedians in nightclub floor shov.s, for instance. Folks actually flock in to sec these two comic~ perform at the Osprey. I mean these guys don't wear 8-ounce gloves, mouthpieces. velvet monogrammed shons or anything neat like that, and people still come. They don't even have catchy names like Mad Dog, Master of Disaster or Sugar. Amazing!
My sopbomort daug.bter has been a big help too. As the residenl movie critic in our household, she bas briefed me on all the important advancements in mm-ma.king. I did.n't lcnow, for example, that the Brat Pack of the '80s has replaced the Rat Pack of the '50s in Hollywood. Now, that's a major league (whoops, there it goes again) development. And, Meryl Streep never played second base for the
Dodgers. The excitement mounts. John Hughes, bless his heart, is working hard 10 keep me from appearing ignorant and un· cultured.. He's been telling me about plays that don't involve Xs and Os on a chalkboard; about drama coaches who don't wear gray sweats and a whistle on a lanyard-imagine that! He has even promised to show me some art that doesn't re· quire coostruction paper and crayons. I can barely contain myself. I've bttn reading about new trends among musicians and bave discovered singers who shave and wear neckties. They ac1ually make music without the benefit of high-heeled, sharp-toed bootS to tap out the rhythm, and their trousers stay up without the support of a half-pound, rock· studded silver belt buckle. I would .never have thought it possible. Ah yes arts and entertainment unfolds an array of bra~d new challenges. I am gripped with excitement.

'Talisman:' Fantastic journey into fantasy
by Mike Saundtrs Wan1 10 go on a fantastic adveniure across the United States with a 12-yearold boy named Jack Sawyer? First, consider the fact that Jack has the ability to uanscend or "nip" in10 another dimension while on the journey. Second, consider the fact that the master of the macabre, Stephen King, and the renowned Peter Straub collaborated on the talc. Sound interesting? Well, "The Talisman" is 1bat and much, much more. Reminiscent of J. R.R. Tolkien's masterpieces, "The Talisman" offers a vehicle which tokes the reader along with the main character on an against. all-odds adven1ure complete with villains, monsters and an old wiseman. When the young boy's fa ther is killed in a questionable hunting accident, his mother mysteriously takes him to an empty tourist town on the coast of Maine. It is there 1h11 Jack meets Speedy, a
very old and very wise black man who teaches him to nip over into "the Territories," a place of extreme purity and beauty. The Territories hold many wonders in store for Jack, not the least of which arc "twinncrs" or people who arc almost cxac1 duplicates or people in the real world. While there, he secs the Queen of the Territories, who is deathly ill. and is amazed by how much she looks like his mother: she is her twinncr. Jack nips back. Soon thereafter, Speedy tel15 him obout the talisman and the incredible power ii contains; the po~cr 10 save his mother's life, as well as the Queen's, and. more importantly, the future or the Territories. Ir the Queen dies, the evil Morgan of Orris will take the throne and tum all that is good into evil. Jack's quest for lhc talisman begins, but he must go it alone because Speedy
Piano instructor dies of heart attack NI<.: ms1ruc1or Martin M. Apclman. 65, died Feb. 13 at Kootenai Medical Center or a hcan atlllck. Born March 28, 1920, in Chicago. he began studying piano at age 6. He studied at Julliard and Columbia University in New York Cit)' and received bachelor's and master's degr~ in education upon his graduation in 19S4. Aflcr moving 10 Coeur d'Alene nearly four years ago, Apclman took o,·er as NI C's piano instructor the fall of 1985, and he was an acti1·c member of First Baptist Church.

is 100 old for the journey. Between him and the West Coast arc 1housan<b or miles, and his mean Uncle Morgan who. you guessed it, is the 1winner of Morgan of Orris. Problems. Jack can 001 Oy because if he II.ad to nip ~ hile in Ihe air, he would fall to his death in lhe Territories. He isn't old enough 10 drive so he has 10 hitchhike. What next! On bis way he meets all kinds, and geu into :ill kinds of trouble. nipping back and forth when he needs 10. On one of bis nips into the T crritories he meets a wolf-man named, appropriately enough, Wolf! They arc pursued by Morgan of Orris, and Jack grabs onto Wolf and flips back with him. In the normal world, Wolf is a
werewolf just like the ones in all the movies. This makes for some pretty interesting goings on. especially during a run moon! Eventually, Jack makes it to Califor, nia and the ominous Black Hotel that is the hiding place of the talisman. No one-no one normal anywayIi vcs in the tiny bcachside town where the hotel is, but there arc people waiting for him there anyway. People like his Uncle Morgan and bis sidekicks, and, o:n the brighter side. Speedy is there to help him 100. Many surprises await him inside the looming Black Hotel, and many more surprises await the reader who chooses to take the trip with him. It is a trip worth taking. Trust me.

According to Bostian, the program -.as designed original! )' for wido1~ and divorced women \\hO sud· dcnly and unexpectedly found themselves ha1mg 10 enter the workplace, but lacked marketable s~ills. Many were victims of abuse- some physical. some emotional. some se.~ual. This federally founded program is administered by subscriber states, among which Idaho l'mcrgcd as a late bloomer, according 10 Bostian. But, administration and officialdom aside, the cuuing edge of the program lies with the instructor, a rare hybrid of psychologi~, . confessor and Marine drill instructor. Local classroom sessions :ire as unusual as the -.omon who runs them. The language as sa lty. Tears no". Long-buried inJuries and disappointment bur· ble through carefull y constructed barrier...

Despite her sel'cral degrees and impressive crcdcn11als, she is unable to 11rite a readable sentence without struggl· ing. She as learning disabled - dyslexic, with t ero capacity for rote memo!)•. Bua, she is an 01•crcomer, a winner ,,.ho produces winners. She often quotes the sage who said, " Give a man a fish a nd feed him for a doy, but teach a man to fish and feed him for life." Graduates of the course unabashedly testify of personal success-from-failure in terms so frank as lO snatch at the listener's breath and 10 stretch his credulity. Howe1•er, their testimonials arc so consistent from graduate 10 graduate- as are their steady gazes and confident demea nor-that there can be liulc doub t that the program works. These people arc winners. Jean (not her real name), dumped by her husband of 17 years, was left with no support and li11le hope. She sa" an advertisement for the Displaced Homemakers' course in a newspaper and telephoned the center. Bostian's response was an instant " You get yourself down here! " She later told Jean, " You were bleed ing so badly tht11 I wasn't sure if you'd make it through that first day. " Jean did make it through. Afterward, she passed the GED high school cquivaJency test and enrolled in a Saturday morning typing course while working as a volunteer in the Continuing Education Center a1 NIC during the week. Six months later, she was hired as a part-time cmplO)'ee. Now she work s full time as a college secretary. Another graduate, Angela (001 her real name) , col· lapstd from exhaustion and nearly died before she sought help. She was married 10 an abusive invalid. who demanded constant a11ention in the midst of her working three jobs 10 support their family. Af1cr 19 years, she simply caved in. "What I went through was pure hell." she said. " Women don't know their options, what is 3\'llilablc 10 ahem." Angela did find other options. Having developed a sense of personal worth for the first time in hc-r life, she scl realistic goals that art acaually being realized. She isa sophomore at NIC. with her sights sci on a master's degree an business. Both Jcan and Angela agree that the course is not for women only.

Japanese debaters to visit NIC by Tensa Crcm
North Idaho College has been selected for a March 7 appearance of the Japanese debate team for its 1986 spring tour. According 10 NIC debate coach Dick Hyneman. the two-man Japanese team " ill arrfre in Seattle today to start of a two-month tour, which will include several U.S. universities. One of the foreign debaters is Koichi Takei, a senior at Kitakyushu University. He is majoring in intcrna· tional law and hopes to begin work on his master's dcgrcc in April. Takci is a three-time first-place debate v.·inner. The second debater, Satoru Aonuma.. is a junior at Kokkyo University. He is majoring in English language study a.nd also has received several debating awards. Hyneman said the topic for the 11 a.m. BoMer Room debate is: The United States and Japan should jointly eliminate all barriers to mutual trade. He added that after atensi~e research by the NIC debate team. it has chosen 10 debate the affirmati~e or "pro" side of the issue. While attending a debate tournament in Longviev.·. Wash. , Hyneman said he found out thar the Japanese team had a five-day layover between debates at the
University or Puget Sound in Tacoma. Wash., and Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Ore. After the proper contacU were made through Washington, D.C., Hyneman was nouficd that the ar· rangcmcots had been confirmed. Hyneman said the format will consist of <:OSS· examination, entertaining questions from the audience and will finish with a rtbuttal from one member of each team. "The format is quite technical," Hyneman said, " and if you arc not used to it, you may not unders· land." Hyoemao said that if the participants can get tbe debate away from the usual presidential-type debate and get tbc audience involved, it will be a good one. However, he added, "They are our guests, so we will follow their wishes." H)1ttman said that despite s«ing several intema· tiooaJ debate teams, he 1w never seen a Japanese team, so he did not know what 10 expect. He add~. howe-u. that Aoouma's credentials looked very am· pressivc and be would be arutious to sec the YOWII man in action.

J Wrestlers win nationals ... again ( sentinel sports
Rucker repeats as champion, paves way for three others "'Did Ibey over-achieve lasl year?' was a question that was always in tbe back of my mind this year," NIC wrestling coach John Owen said Sunday after· noon ar a welcome home/award banquet after be brought home the NJCAA wrestling championship. " But every one of lhem is a beuer wrestler this year." " Did they overachieve" will undoubtedly be in Owen's mind next year af1er winning the 1oumament and producing four individual champions and seven All-Americans from the 10 Cardinals who traveled to Glen Ellyn. JU., last week. Owen was also awarded a uophy for CoaclH>f-lhcyear honors he rcceivc:d last year. NIC decisively clinched the title by outdistancing its nearest opponent by over 70 points. NIC's score of I3J represents 1he second highest score in the history of the tournament. The Cardinals arrived in Spokane Sunday and were met at the Huetter weigh SLation by a small caravan of rupponers who followed the team 10 the ceremony In the SUB Bonner Room. When the matmcn disembarked from the van, it was apparent by the curs and bruises and even an arm sling 1ha11he victory was not easily won. Tlus is NIC's scnh nauonal title and the fourth under the guidance of Owen, now in his nin1h year as head coach.
The win seemed to be a mirror image of the win last year. The title was won before the finaJs; NIC broke I00 poinlS; the Cards scored lhc second highest total ever; and a number of all-Americans emerged. "This is the best 1cam I've ever coached," Owen asscncd. "I fdl everybody bad I.be potential to place." He said Lbis title doesn't feel much different than bis olher championships. "Any time you put a lot of time and work and effort into somclhing, it means a lot to you. "I have learned one thing," he said, referring to wrestlers who had high hopes deflated. "It is very im· ponant to put these lcinds of things into perspective. "his just a game. Maybe it will make better people of us." Owen stressed the imponaacc of the team as a whole. For lhe nation! squad to imprO\'C through the year, lhe other Ig wrestlers had to work as hard or harder to push lhem to t.he quality they reached. "I believe Lbis trophy is about a group of people with a common goal," he said, pointing 10 the large wooden award. Kevin Frame, ISO-pound All-American, e'(J)resscd the same thougb1 when he presented the trophy to NJC President Schuler on behalf of the teaai. "Those gu)'"S bad. there (the other 18) arc ~ci;1hing we arc up here." Frame said,
The four national champions include: Torey McCulley, 126; Kenny Rucker. who repeattd nt 177; Pat Whitcomb. 190, and Robby Benjamin, heavyweight. Three other All-Americans arc: Kevin Frame, ISO, 2nd; Bob Codden, IS8, 3rd, and Steve Meuer, 118, 8th. Ruckcr's championship match was e,:emplary of the determination of the team as a whole. He was handily defeating bis Bismarck opponent 13-3 when with 13 seconds remaining in the second round he suffered a shoulder separation. "All bis (opponent's) weight came down on my shoulder," be explained. "II was pretty painful for a while there." An injury timeout was enforced while the doctor popped the shoulder back into its socke1. Kenny was only allowed one minute 10 resume the match. "I thought about quitting. I was about to give up, " be remembered. But with 30 seconds lcf1 in the final round, after wrestling with his left arm only and having been called for stalling a couple times, Rucker cinched the match with a bold one-arm takedown th at left the score at 16-10. "It had 10 be the most emotional thing I\ ·e ever seen in the spori, ·• NLC assis1nnt coach Bill Pecha said. Because of his efforts, Rucker was awarded the tournament's Sportsmanship Award.

Hash ing barbaric irony of hunting 1 orth Idaho would seem to be 1he prime target area for a column about huniing. People here thrhe on hunting. But the act of hunting is and must be di\ided into two very separate distinctions-survhal and sport. Hunii ng to survhe is the way of nature. It is an understood. and necessit)' dictates its prcst'llct. Some families live for 1he most pan only on the food they get by huniing. But huniing for sport is not present in nature. Only man is guilty of this brutality, this inhumani· t)' that I am trying to come 10 terms "ith. Thr topir nr , er would have been stirred inside me were i1 not for one or those how-10 hunting shows on public tek\'lsion. Two men crouched in full camounage gear on the edge or a swamp somewhere in Florida. They were waiting for a group of ducks to return. They spotted, engaged their duck calb and both shot at the same bird. It dropped. The next scene was a close-up of the lifeless duck·s limp body being held at the neck by 1he hunier's one hand as the other hand extended a wing. mealing all the feathers. " The e are such beautiful birds." he said ironically in a disgustingly hypocritical tone.
"Look at those greens and blues nicker in the sun. What incredible creatures.·' Too bad be just couldn't marvel at the colors while the bird was gliding the airs or paddling the waters. I couldn't understand how Lhis man could ~ saying this and holding the dead bird at tht same time. The narrator of the show went on to describe how the man bad "devoted" his entire life 10 admiring and respecting nature, iLS beauty and ,aJue. I might have believed this had the man only shot one bird to srudy it for the betterment of others. But he was demonsl!ating, step by step, how to hide oneself and coa.'< Lhe ducks nearer so a shot can be taken under the most favorable conditions. I would assume that spon hunters hunt for the challenge, but lhis show reminded me of men who would hunt down a beautiful trophy elk, take the head to hang on the den wall and leave the rest out in the forest to rot. None of this seemed right as I watched the ducks gracefully negotiate themselves across 1he clouds. until in synch with the shotgun blasts, they lost all energ) and spun to the swamp surface belO\\.
john • Jensen~-... How odd ii was that the narrator was praising this man's "unity" with nature, through his green· brown attire. his practiced duck calls and his eagle-like eyes, but never mentioning the killing. Where io this man's harmonious nature does one animal kill another for anything but survival? Nowhere but in his own warped realm of thought. Hunting for spon has been a favorite pastime for centuries and probably never could be controUed without banning hunting all together. That obV1ously won't happen. and shouldn't .. Tht irony and hypocrisy of that man sa)'lng he has devoted his life to nature. while "admiring" the beaut\' of the duck he had just killed. will come to ~ind everytime the issue of hunting purely for sport is brought up in a conversation. Hunting is a necessity. but killing for the sake of killing or to get a rack of antl~s or a stuffed bird is something I can't cope wuh.
