Dean of Instruction Owen Cargo! and Associalt Dean Dennis Conners were granted formal hearings on the nonrencv.,al of their contracts by the NIC Bo.ard of Trustees at its meeting April 22.

Journalism instructor Nils RosdahJ's griC"YBnce decision by the Foculcy Personnel Policy Committee. however. was not acted on by the board.

Boih Cargo! and Conners had recth•· ed notice that their contracts would not be renewed, but were not given reasons why. Both men indkated that one of the reasons was because of their support of freedom of the press in NIC President Barry Schuler's alleged auempt to persuade Rosdahl to censor the Sentinel.

Addressing the board before nearly 250 faculty, studenu and community members. Conners requested a hearing that would gi,•e him the opportunity 10 correct information on which decisions were bas.ed, give the board a chance 10 rtverse a p055ible incorrect decision and reduce the liklihood of litigation.

He further informed the board that t~c Supreme Coun recognizes four distinct situations in which a hearing of this 1-ype is appropriate: -If nonr~ppointment would Sl'riously damage o person's standing, reputation and association within the community.

-If publicity from the decision would foreclose future job opportunities.

-When nonrcappointment is the result of exercising constitutional rights, such as freedom of expression.

- When tenure exim.

Conners snid of the four, three clearly apply 10 his situation.

According to rcdcral and Idaho Jaw if a ny one of these situations exist the t-ypc of hearing and notice 1hat must be given is lhe same as that for "dismissal for cau.s.c." Conners said.

Conners also told the assembly of a meeting he bad with boa.rd member Don

In the Rosdahl case. George Ives, chairman of the Faculty Personnel Policy Committee, formally pr=nted its recommendations to the board.

The recommendations called for the reinstatement of Rosdanl for a probationary period of at least one year, that President Schuler not be involved in any decision-making process concerning Rosdahl and that the board adopt a conciK grievance policy.

Attorney Bill Nixon, who represented Schuler at the bearing, said be felt the "committee did not have jurisdiction" and that "the air of fairness was somC\l.·hat absent" "Legally Mr. Rosdahl has no standing or grievance." he said. "1 don't feel the manner in which the hearing was conducted was a proper hearing in the first place."

Knudson maintained that the procedures in the faculty handbook were not followed.

When asked about Knudson's claim, Rosdahl said, "'We thought we bad (foUowed policy). We tried to go as procedurally as the handbook directed us.

Trustees fire Cargo!; hearing pending Following an April 22 executive session meeting witb NIC Dean of Instruction Owen Cargo!, the board of trustees granted Cargo! a hearing concerning his dirniis.sal, which is effective in August.

Cargo! received notice two weeks ago lha1 his contract for next year would not be renewed when NIC President Barry Schukr's secretar,â&#x20AC;˘ Pauline Irvine delivered lhe message to his house while Cargo) wa.s at home sick. No reasons were given for the dismissal.

The dismissal comes just two weeks after NIC Associate Dean Dennis Conners received his walking papen.

Cargo! said he thought the dismissal came about because of differences between him and Schuler. who resigned two weeks ago, effective at the end of the year. "l feel I have continued to work quite amicably with Barry," Cargo! said, "but I have sensed a sort of

distance on his part."

Cargo! said 1he distance had grown over the course of the year, and SchuJer's desire to "control" the Sentinel and its editorial staff may have been a catalyst.

"I feel that my steadfast decision not to interfere with the press publishing its editorials had strained the president's relationship with me," Cargo! said.

Cargo! characterized his four-and-a-half years at NIC as being "enormously successful" and hoped he would get a chance to work wit.h the aew president who he felt should come from outside the area.

"Colleges always need revitalization," Cargo! said, and NIC should ''bring in someone with new eyes" who caa see new things that others have overlooked. "ln many wars the faculty, staff and community ha"" helped me 10 rnarure," Cargo! said, adding that he would like to continue to st-rve North ldaho and lead its academic affairs.

ASNIC, trustees disagree; Board installs new officers

by Mike Care>'

The ASNfC Student Board passed a re8olution at its April 22 meeting expressing disagreement with the Board of Trustees d.ecision to not renew Dr. Owrn Cargol's contract for the 1986-87 school year and asking for reconsideration.

Prcsidem Kris Dunning reported, however, that he was unable Lo get the resolution on the agmda for that aighl's Board of Trustees meeting.

The Swdcm Board also , a Lilied the recenL general election results and in¡ stalled the newly elected officers. Vice President Bob S1ull announced that Dennis Grant was elected pre.sident; Miller Belmont, vice president: Annelle Lccgc. Cheryl Barnes and Tom Torgerson, sophomore senators; Chailie Lewis, activi1ic5 chalnnan.

Stull notified the Board that the graduation commince, which normally selects grnduation speakers, asked the Student Board to pick this year's speaker. After discu sing several po511iblc condida1es, the Boord voted

unanimously to ask Wes Hatch who is retiring this yC3J after having served 23 successive Student Boards as financial adviser, confident and friend.

Stull immediately mended the speaking invitation to Hatch, who aCCt'pted with the characteristic humility that has endeared him to several generations of student legislators.

The budget committee presented irs 1986-87 budget , ccommrndat.io~ 10 lhe Board, which pas~ed it after brief discu.rnoa. Although not every student club received all the moneys requested, none received less than its 1985-86 allocation.

Chairman Bob Stull said that the budget committee hearing5 on Apnl 15 went smoothly and that most club representatives appeared according to their scheduled appointments.

Terri Wenzig from the Nurses' Oub requested and receiYed S258 for airfare to represent NJC at a national nursif:\S school convention.

Legacy of learning life's lessons The boy reached up with a dusty fist and wiped clean Lhc tear as it began its journey down his cheek.

As the sun settled on a diStant horizon and lhe baseball min lay resting in his lap, his father walked over and sat dowo beside him on the chipped and weathered bench.

The boy had learned a valuable lesson that C'\eoing following his team's one-run loss to the Indians-life was not always full of fuo, friends, banana-seat bikes and kites. Every once in awlule some pressures tended to drop from oowhere and land squarely on the slender shoulders of an I I-year-old boy.

That night ihe pressure came in the form of a pop fly to centerfield . But, it didn't land on his shoulders exactly, it Landed ju.st a few feet from him onto the dew-moistened turf. Two runs scored; the game was lost; the coach was mad as hell. and the boy, \\ith glove hanging at his s.ide, walked off the field amidst the boots and jeers of teammates, opposing players, fans and a somewh:u-lcssthan-sympathetic coach.

At that moment, the lad would have wanted nothing worse (indeed, he would have given up all his remainiog Chrisunases) than to have caught that cork-wrapped, horsehide-covered sphere as it fell from the heavens.

"You know , son," his father was saying, ''that could ha\e happened to anyone."

Ris arm swooped over the boy's head, and his hand came to rest at the base of the young man's neck. " What 1'm proud of you for is that )'OU didn't come back and make up a lot of excuses for yourself.'' tht" father continued.

"Most of the other guys would ha\'e been running back to the bench and telling everyone that they had slipped on the wet grass. or that they had lost it in the lights, or that they thought it was going out of the ball park. But you didn't. It was an honelit mistake, and you came back here to face the music.

"That's not easy, and it takes a lot of guts."

The boy's feet dangled aimlessly just off the ground, and as he reached up to rearrange his cap, his hand inadvertanLly wiped away another tear before he thought it had a chance to be seen by his father.

"Now, I wo uld never, ever tell you 10 quit because of what the coach or the o ther kids said-I would bate to think that l had raised a quilter. However, the main reason you boys arc out here is to have fun , and if ever some things happen during the game thai make it not quite as fun anymore, then it's time to step back, take a good long look at things and sec if it's the game that's changed or if it's your perception of the game that has changed.

As the 1wo sat there in silence, an unknown hand somewhere shut off the lights on the field, and they were left amidst the hum of mosquitoes and the encroaching twilight.

Suddenly the bench became a little harder and the still evening air a little cooler.

"Come on. Let's go home," the father said. " l 'll bet Mom has something waiting for you."

"You know, Dad," the boy chuckled, " now that you mention it, those lights were awfully bright."

Well, I would love to report that that small boy is making millions of dollars a year playing for the Cinncinati Reds right now, but I can't. In actuality, he is writing this column.

In the midst of everything that has happened this year, l thought it would be good to remind C\'erybody that I'm human-sometim~ people tend 10 forget those little things.

A t 1 0 1· ~ te, this is my farewell address 10 NIC, the Sentinel and all my readers that I have managed to entertain and offend over 1he course of three years-I wane to thank them for being able to read.

Secondly, I would like 10 thank my parents. my sisters (oh, god, this is starting to sound like an Academy Award acceptance ~peech).

Lisa, Betsy, Jenny, Ed, Doug, Tim and Moby-without wl:tich l never would ha\e made it through the year. c:<t, I would hkc to tell the board of trustees that you did the right tiling by accepting Barry Schuler's resignation. But, on the other hand, you will be doing the coUege a grave disservice- and in essence reversing all the good Schuler's resigning will bring- if you do not reinstate Dennis Conners and Owen Cargo!.

Next, I would like to M the first columnist to take a politlcal pot shot at State Senate candidate Dennis Gorringe; I pity the districts that would eleci the self-proclaimed "Big Enchilada" as its state senator. (You didn't know I knew about the " Big Enchilada" routine did you, Dennis?) Anyway, I heard it was no big deal.

But I don't know how 1he voting public could expect Dennis to attend legislative meetings-he had enough trouble making it to the ASNIC board meerings.

But , for Lhis last column , I rcaUy don't want to dwell on the negative. Let me go on record as saying that I got a better education at this college than l c.ould have gotten at any ot her college or university. And that is due to the quality of instructors that I had such a.s Virginia Johnson, Sherry Boswell, Gene Leroy, Tim Christie, Tom Flint, Fran Bahr, Fay Wright, Mike Miller. John Owen, Jim McLeod and especially Tim Pilgrim. I owe all of them a gr~t deal, and I appreciate the opportunity they gave me 10 learn.

When I returned as editor last year, I knew it would not be easy. l not only would be doing my job, but Pilgrim's job as well as another editor who chose not to return. J 100k a lot of nak over the course of the year on a variety of issues, and I than.le those writers who felt compelled to write.

The firull battle with Schuler and the board sure took a toll on my physical as well as mental health, and often times I found myself sitting alone in the dark of my apartment asking if the battle was worth the cost of the fight. But I rest assured now that it was.

I know I am noi the best editor that has ever beat the concrete around NlC, but I know that I have been the hardest working one.

That's the only way I know how to make up for what I lack in talent.

I gave more 10 this newspaper than I took from it; I am l~ving this school bCller than I found it. That's what life is all about.

Students should become involved in NIC affairs

- [__s_e_n_n·n_e_l_op_i_n,_·o_n_)

Dear Editor: As a concerned student or NJC, I attended the meeting of the NIC Board of Trustees oo Tuesday, April 22. I was amazed at the very small number of students present that evening; indeed, J believe that although we didn't have to speak, our presence was very important, merely because it concerned our school, its instructors and administrators.

Some or these people have cared for us, so why not show them some consideration? Signing a petition, participating in different meetings or giving one's opinion are the duties of each student who cares for his or her school.

Anyway, the ones 001 present really missed something. A Board of Trustees' meeting is something one must sec 10 believe: molions passed at the speed of light, biased and manipulated people who don't seem 10 care very much about what their consti1uen1s are saying, but who already seem to have made up their minds. CIC .

These people elected by you hav·c the future of our school in their hands. That's a good enough reason 10 show up and show them that they are dealing in front of concerned and responsible students who are also voters. It's Lime for us students to be aware of what's going on here at NIC.

Sincerely, Samia Labassi NIC student

Students should vote for override The future of public elementary and secondary education in Coeur d'Alene is approaching a vital crossroads. The May 6 override election will choose a path 1ha1 will affect a generation of young people here and will hold Important implications for the future.

Al that election. voters will be asked 10 decide whether 10 provide temporary linancial relief for Dis1rlc1 271 schoots-schools which are funded at levels among the lowest in Idaho, which ranks almost last in educauonal funding among the 50 states.

The rlnandal crisis facing our schools is well documented. District 271 spends an average of SI ,840 per pupil, compared with an average per-pupil expenditure of SJ.400 for the Inland Empire. Classroomb ore overcrowded here. Needed maintenance of school facilities has bctn deferred agaio and again.

Program offerings are se\•erely limited.

The result has bctn a valiant effort 10 maintain educa11onal qualit)' in the face of overwhelming odds. That effon cannot conti nue much longer.

Faced w11h that realization. a signilicant number of parents have enrolled their children in private schoots. Teachers, unccnain about the prospect of future emplO}'mcn1 or oo longer willing 10 baulc crowded classroom , outdated textbooks and a shortage of reachmg meteriaJs, are leaving the district.

Busl!lffl o,- Ml'll, troubled b>· the absence of strong support for education in Coeur d'Alene, arc moving their firms or choosing not 10 locate here in favor of other c111es v. ith

a demons11ated COIIUJUtment 10 public education.

The override levy v.iU give voters a fair opportunity not only 10 choose v.hcther 10 support an improved educa11onal program here. but also will allow them to ~elect from a "menu" programs and SCT\iccs which arc most dcseni ng of funds. ~•to sep1t11tc funding categories will be listed May 6. Voters may choose to support none, some or all of those ategorics. The fate of programs like art, music, physicaJ education, foreign languages, the school yearbook and ne'l\spapcr, athJetic programs and debate will be detemuoed through the election process.

The cost LO approve all SC'cn of those pro~ed fundu,g cattgones IS c:cn.ainl>· not excessive. {For the ov.11er of a SS0,000 home with a 520,000 homeov. ncr excmpuoo, the incrCllSC needed to ~upport better schools in Coeur d'Alene would be about S6.20 a month.) But the potcnual benefits arc enormous. ~1 ~t. 'orth ldlho's economy IS being severeJ) challenged. These are difficult runes for the timber and mimog mdustnestraditional economic nu.inst.ays for this region. Those industri~ need our support, bur our economy also needs greater di\ersification, tl.Jld C."<perts in economic devetopment are ne.-irly wunimous in thetr agreement on the importance of a good pubLic school system to future dC"elopmeru efforts.

Idaho Department of Commerce Duector

by

Steve Schenk Dr. David Porter. for example, stated recently. "In a modem society the process of economic development is inseparably tied to high quality education at a.II levels."

Omar L-Ofgren, executive director of the Spokane Arca Economic Developmen1 Council described educational qualily as "imperative in the support of current industry and the recruitments of new industry... " Of course, dollars-and-cents considerations cannot begin 10 measure the importance of providing school children in Coeur d'Alene with 1he same opportunity 10 learn and succocd as those enjoyed by other studenis.

Students at N!C, along with college faculty and staff, can play a crucial role in the success of the override levy. Any resident of District 271 who is 18 or older is eligible to vote. There is no registration or property ownership requirement, and NlC is one of the polling places.

P~ge of the override levy on May 6 certainly will not solve all the problem~ facing education here. bur it will provide strong evidence that the people of this community have chosen a path and begun a commi1men1 that 14ill lead to a brighter fu1ure for the!tbelves and the generation of young people now in our schools. Don't miss the chance to paniopare in the important decision.

Vote for the override levy May 6.

This is the last Sentinel of the school year. Thank you for reading and responding. Ha ve a good life and remember- never run with a stick in your hand.

Activities committee

--------

Students undeserving of time, effort At times this newspaper has been ,cry critical of the AS!\IC orgaruzation and some of the activities that 1t spends a large amount of student monies on which attract few people.

Then, in December, ASNJC sponsored a "Ha"'aiian Dan~·· that was a huge success, followed by a St. Patricks Day Dance that v.as a little less successful.

A lot of money was spent on these activiues and with the prtZCS that were given away compared with the price of admission, e-..erybody got his or her money's worth and most e,erybody had a good time Too often students don' t realize the amount of work and preparation that goes into staging one of 1he:.e events, and "hen u 1:. a Oop, it is very disheanening 10 1he students who pu1 on Lhe e,ent.

Friday, April 25, ASNlC sponsored its third dance of the yearagain with expensive prizes, one of the best bands in Spokane and elaborate decora1ions-only to have a handful of students sho" up.

Perhaps it's time for NlC studenis 101ake a good, long look "ithm themselves, and rather than chastizing the acti, iues committee for not sponsoring " wonhwhile" evenLS. ask themsehes if the) reall> are deser· ving of all the money and work that goes in10 sponsoring one.

Sentinel provides lifetime experience

Where has the year gone? For some, I suppose, the scmcs1crs have not gone by fast enough; however, for 01hcrs, myself included, time has passed almost too swiftly.

It seems as 1hough ii was just last month tha1 Dan Breeden, John Hughes. John Jensen and I began making prepar.uions for 1he fall semester·s first assue of the Scnrinel.

At 1ha1 1ime, all the controversy and the decisions which would need 10 be made were st.ill in front of us. The long hours that would be spen1 in the newsroom on schoolnights and during weekends were yet to be sacrificed. Priorities had to be recognized.

It is with 1hc dttpest sense of satisfaction that I can no" look back upon the year. A lot has been done through the effons of bard-working individuals. and it has paid off.

The Sentinel has been notified that it has won 13 awards in the 1985 E.~ceUencc in Journalism competition. This includes an award for general excellence in newswriting and photography. This is the second highest number of awards an NIC newspaper bas ever \\ OD. We must have been doing something right.

However, I doubt that this recognition wilJ quelJ the grumblings of nil the critics who 100 often failed 10 recognize the fact that this is a stu· dent publication. and who cried foul this year and last when ccna.in toes were stepped (or stomped) upon.

I'll not make Lhe mistalce of apologizing or claiming that the editors and staff were exempt from making an occassiooal mistake- because we did. After all, we're students, and students arc supposed to make a mistake now and then. We're here. as students, 10 learn, and it's part of the learning process 10 make errors.

Was it all wortb ii? Without hesitation, I can only say that ii sure was.

I won't deny ever cursing the incomparable Tim Pilgrim for giving me a healthy dose or responsibiliry 10 deal with for 12 issues this year.

I now know why many journalism majors must spend an txlra semester or two getting their degree. II takes a lot of personal effon to put out a publication with quality.

And l cannot deny ever muttering under my brealh unspeakable, cur·

rupt things about the equally incomparable Dan Breeden.

Withou1 doubt. Dan has been the mouvating force behind the Sentine! this year and deserves most or the credit for any awards garnered.

His many critics were probably never aware of the 30-hour weekends and the countless weeknights he spent each issue pulling together an informath e, credible student publication.

From my perspective, Dan did one hell of a job filling the shoes of Pilgrim who took a year off to study at the UW. I congratulate him on a job wdJ done, and I fed fortunate and thankful IO have been a pan of iL I would also like Lo ta.Ice ad,-anr.age of this final opponunicy to thank the many people (both instructors and fellow students) who have cootributed immensely to my personal fulfillment while attending NIC during the past f~ years.

These evoke mucd visions in lhe mind's eye. A lone piper, on one hand, plaintively caJls a wandering Irish lad back to the Emerald Isle. On the other hand, hoarse shouting and rattling armament clash behind the eerie wail of the dreaded warpipe as Robert Bruce's tartan-dad Highlanden sweep down out of mountain mists to crush invading f_ngl1sbmen.

Bagpipes in Ireland? Yes, indeed. In fact, historians concur that the pipes surface first in the ancient ~iddlc Eas1-i gyp1, Chaldea. Persia.

This summer NIC will host its 16th annual Summer School for Piping from June 29 to July 11. Some 8S student pipers and a dozen instructors-led by Pipe Major Evan MacRae of Fort William and Andrew Wright of Stirling, Scotland-will invade the campus for two colorful weeks of whirling, skirliog piping.

Watch for tartan kilts, tasseled bonnets, doublclS and three-drone replicas of the old Highland warpipes.

Watch also for events open 10 the public: on July 6 thc world-class Bratach Nam Bean (''The Banner of the Mountains") competition will be at the Lalccsidc Theater from 1-6 p.m.; on July 7 Mac Rae and Wright will present a recital in the Communication-Arts Auditorium at 7 p.m.: on July9 I.he Fort Ground Tavern clears its decks at 9 p.m. for the Hornpipe and Jig contest.

Art Gallery

NIC student artists plan, execute own gallery exhibition

by Chris Butkr For the past two weeks fim and second-year art students have been showing th.cir work in lhe SUB art gallery.

Art vinu0$0S were able to view lhc exhibit April I S-28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The exhibit was open lO artists from various classes in the art dcpanment, including ceramics, commercial art, drawing, oil and watercolor painting.

Instructors from each division juried their students' artwork and decided which pieces would be their best 10 show, according to art instructor Allie Vogt.

Although this is lhe first semester that the gallery has been open ror student shows, Vogt hopes 10 have many more shows in the upcoming semesters.

"We have the gallery for eight weeks per semester and we hope 10 have bet· ween six and eight shows a year." she said. "It depends on the artists though; some shows range anywhere from two weeks to a month."

The gallery got off to a rough start lasl fall, bul Vogt believes lhal ii is a SUC· cess now and that the success is due largely 10 the hard work of the art students.

Along with the hnrd work come benefits. The artists help hang the pieces in the sho"·· which gives them a greater aesthetic understanding of how 10 pince drawings 1oge1her. Vogt said. ii also provides motivation to do their best work. she said.

Artist tumbles editor's preconceptions mike

carey Although be is rarely at a loss for a biased opinion about nearly any newsworthy issue (and some less-than-newsworthy), your almosterstwhile ans and entertainment editor stiU sweats bullets and writhes in the grip of verbal constipation at the prospect of writing somelhing about the ans that someone may actually read.

Havi ng already confessed ignorance in an earlier column, there is no point in compounding embarrassmem with repetition. But the fact remains-all that I know about art can be smeared broadly on a pallet and still leave plemy of mixing space for rainbows of fresh co lors.

Perhaps If I knew just one artist.... Of course.

Lisa Perzentka is our staff artist, but 1' ve never seen any of her work apart from the black-andwhite newspaper graphics that she amazingly pro-

duccs from ideas that tumble out of the mind of some 1wo-dimcnsiooal, black-and-white, artistically stunted journalist.

While wandering through the maze of art department classrooms rcccOl.ly-maybc lhey are called srudios-in search of the busy and, therefore, elusive Allie Vogt, I lurched into an art student lhat I actually knew. But I didn't know her as an art student.

Eileen KJan stood there, pallet in hand, daubing some blend of yellow on a noral bouquet emerging in oil from the canvas.

Eileen and I became acquainted in the weight room last semester-hardly a hangout for Picasso and the gang, but that's where l met her.

That meeting bore zero social impact for either of us. We were just two grunting and perspiring bodies plodding through the masochistic fog of noontime workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We exchanged the usual polite greetings and desultory comments abou1 the weather that pass for conversation among the sweat-for-lunch bunch, but I did notice that her workout routine was for an athlete, not a novice.

One da), while she was catching her breath between exercise sets. I asked if she was a varsity

athlete. She broke a wan smjle, shook her head and mum bled something to the effect that she ran some.

Ran some, indeed-she finished first in her class in the recent Nooner Fun Run I As an aging used-10-be jock, I had to respect Eileen for her athletic grace and faithfulness to a tough workout regimen.

Mont.hs later I saw her in a local chapter meeting of the national honor society, Phi Theta Kappa. She conversed comfortably and moved with easy grace among her scholarly peers.

As a frustrated pursuer of intermediate algebra's mercurial "X," I had to respect Eileen for her astute mind and academic acruevcments.

That chance encounter in an art classroom, where 1 saw an athlete-scholar standing-brush in hand-ai her easel, years of preconceptions and prejudices toward artists began to evaporate.

Herc was an artist who didn't mind gray sweats and rusty barbells. And she had intellectual interests. But, best of all, she never treated me liJce a non-artistic knuckle dragger.

J am delighted to have met Eileen-athlctc:, scholar and artist whose work was recently displayed in a gallery exhibit.

Fossil dig spaded for May

I,l~ ~,,, j I~ ~ BREAKFAST!';i*

bl J ohn Jt11R-n NIC geology instructor Bill Richards will be guiding his historical geology class on a fossil dig and rock obsen•ance field trip Saturday. May 10.

According 10 Richards, the group will either go 10 the Lakeview Mea on the southeastern part or Lake Pend Oreille or to the Clarkia region or Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Last rear the group went 10 Lake Pe.nd Oreille, but the trip wasn't as productive as Richards had hoped. tr the group goes to Pend Oreille, again this year, Richards said they will concentrate on the search for trilobites, small fossil animals that are commonly used to index "'hat were once marine Cambrian rock beds. Cambrian rocks arc apprO.'I:· imatcly 600 million years old.

Tbe Farragut Naval base on Pend Oreille might boat the group to the Lake,•iew site. 1r 001. the trip will be made by bus with a little hiking.

The Clarkia trip would invovlve much different concentrations. according 10 Richards. " We would be looking for ph1ms. twigs, seeds," he said.

The rock beds at the Clarkia site arc much )'oungcr. These Tertiary

rocks arc approximately 2S 10 60 millioo years old and were once in fresh water as opposed to Pend Oreillc's marine beds.

Richards said some fish fossils may be foond at the Clarkia site.

The group ,.;11 leave May 10 at S-9 a.m. and will return sometime in lhc early aru:rnooo.

Members of Richards class will have top priority to go, but anyone interested should conlllct Bill Richards in bis orfice on the third floor of Seiter Hall or call him at 769-3493.

Journalism seminar set for area schools

by Lori Carlson

An invitation is extended to advisers and one editor to be N1C's guest in 1he Benewah Room on 1he main floor of the SUB. Others are welcome 10 lunch in lhe SUB or area restaurants.

An additional lhree sessions wiU begin at 12:30. Al I:30 the annual cveni will be concluded with tours of 1he Seniinel newsroom and lhe NIC campus. " Response to the offering of the high school workshop has been very good." Rosdahl said. "We seni 72 letters to high schools lhroughout the Inland Nonhwes1 and had abou1 10 responses in the first week. The first responses are highlighted by three schools in Spokane (University, West Valley and Mead). which are sending about 20 students each."

Early responses also were received from Arlee and Troy, Mont. , and Clark Fork and Priest River, Idaho.

"Unfonunately most Idaho high schools canoo1 auend because they b.avc no funds for journalism programs or the strict auendance rules don't allow them 10 miss other classes for a workshop dealing s1rictly on one subjec1, in this case journalism. Even though we're right here, Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls high schools evidently won'1 be participatiag," Rosdahl said.

Approximately ISO high school journalism students from Nonh Idaho, Eastern Washington and Western Montana arc anticipated to anend the annual journalism seminar al NIC May 9, according to instructor Nils Rosdahl.

The sessions making up the seminar will Last from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. lnvi1ed speakers include: Jay Shelledy, publisher of the Moscow Jdabonian, lecturing on " Freedom of the High School Press;" Ric Clarice, city editor of the Coeur d'Alene Press, on ''Writing the Feature Story;'' Doug Qark, columnist of the Spokesman Review and Chronicle., on ' 'Writing Columns and Editorials;" Mike Young, advertising of the Coeur d'Alene Press, on "Selling and Designing Ads for Papers;"· Jeff Stoffer, sports editor of the Moscow Idaho· nian. on "Wri1ing.s Spons Righi:" Vinc.e Grippi, graphics editor of the Spokesman-Review and Chronicle, on "Newspaper Design for Today and Tomorrow." and Chris Anderson, photographer for the Spokesman-Review and Chronicle.

Registration for the seminar will be 8:30-8:55 in lhe auditorium of the C-A Building. Students will make their choice of three sessions beginning at JO a.m. A lunch period will follow from 11 :SO to 12:25.

Goodbye to veteran Weston Hatch caps 24 years of service b) Mary Schumacher

A nationwide search is under way to find an Auxiliary Services director for NlC because ihe man who brought ihe cafeteria operation from a S40 a day cash income LO SJ2()() a day is retiring.

On Aug. JS Wes Hatch will bid adieu to Auxiliary Services.

Hatch said when be st.aned July I , 1962, the awtiliary services facility was a "litlle room under the blcachcn on lhc nonh side" or lhc gym with jU5l a cook. a cashier and one or two students for dishwashing on lhc payroU. The SUB's kitchen used to be !he gym's towel room. fh1cb remembers an Idaho Athletic Association banquet served from the gym-housed faciUty as the funniest memory or his NIC job.

About ISO people were expected, he said, so the 1wo ovens seemed adequate.

Hatch said he's always been nulrition minded, so he plaMed a menu of fried chicken. mashed potatoes and gravy, a roU and vegeta blcs (frouo. because they're more ouuitious th:in canned).

The man who booked the banquet

4SO satisfied diners.

Hatch said t.he passing ye.a.rs have allowed a humorous appraisal of that situa.tion.

Aaxilwy Services now has a yearly budget " jUSt sbon or SI million," be said. "We Utcnlly have fou:r businesses we consider being run out of this office, but lhcy are run as one."

Employees include 20 cooks. a food production manager and rwo assistants, I.S prarHime nudents, r,,.•o full-time and three part-time people in lhc bookstore and H.atch's scaewy, Karmen Scrviclc.

"I had a part in lhc expansion of t.hc Student Union LO the present facility," Hatch said modestly.

"He's realistic: as far as asking for things," said Rolly Jurgens, dean of administration. "Some ask for lhe moon, expecting half. Wes says " 'ha! and why he wants it, and I don't have to cut through a smokescreen."

When Hatch came to NlC, funds to build a dormitory were sought Crom the federal govemmco1. He said they were turned down because of lb: in.idcquate

along with the set of offices around the back and the Koot.coai Room, Hatch

said. ··Wes is lbc kind of guy (whom) I tnJSt (with) his judgment,.. Jurgens said.

"That's the lcind of thing I wm miss.

"In my job it's 100 easy to forget about the students and (they) are why

Wes Hatch we are here," Jurgens said. "Wes is extremely caring of t.he srudenu."

Hatch said his wife Meg _._;u finish her 28th )'eat in the Coeur d'Alene School District I.his sprins, and he will sec the dorm and Student Union through the

summer activities-at which time they will retire together.

Tbt couple plans a I.rip around the edge or the continental United States, "visiting friends and rcla.tives."

Hatch also bas a copywrited pl11n for a double-barrel woodstove he is continually trying to ma.kc more efficient and less polluting. He said various lawmaking bodies ore working for cestrictions as to wha1 will be al.lowed 10 be sold. and be wants his "Cedar Mounlain Stoves" 10 meet the criteria.

Tbt H•tches moved 10 their 4SO-acre fann in 19SO, "so we're almost native," he said. They have 350 acres in timber and about 100 in hay and stoned out to be dairy farmers.

However, federal govcmmem 11nd health dep:inmen1 regulations put him out or business, much like 1he dairy farmers in 1he news 1oday, he said.

He added the required teaching credits 10 bis degree in applied music nnd taught one year of band and strings to elementary students around the Coeur d'Alene district before he ncccp1ed a bookkeeping position at NlC.

Foreign language instructor

ASNIC Au revoir, adios, auf Wiedersehen ACTIVITIES

by Wyndl Slrobfl

Leona Hasscn's office is decorated colorfully ",th Mc,ocan navor and Finnish memories; yet according to her NIC collcgucs, the office couldn't measure up lo Leona's encrgctJc personality.

Leona has worked in the English-Modem Language 0epan. men1 at NIC since 1968.

If NIC had a chairperson in the Modern Language Dcpanment, Virginia Johnson (English Dcpanment chair) bclie"es 11 would be Leona.

During 1he 18 years that Leona has been at NIC. she has taught Spanish and Finnish (and English Composition when needed). " I feel that teaching is my profession, which I don"t intend 10 give up entirely," Leona said. " I just enjoy teaching ... I perhaps enjoy teaching languages more than English Compostition...{but) the exciung part of teaching and seeing wha1 the students can do make 11ny subject fun."

According 10 Dr. Johnson. man} changes ha,·e occured because of Lcona·s dedica1ion.

"You come here early in 1he morning, and Leona is here: you come here l:uc a1 night, and Leona is here; you come here Saturdays and Sundays. and Leona is here.·· Johnson said.

"She's infa1igable."

Leona has made Convocations go from o small night seminar in the gym to a week-long seminar in the auditorium, "ith both faculty and students interested, Johnson added. ·'She secs things right down 10 1hc fine de1111ls, right down to the extension cords. She's an irreplaceable person.·· Johnson said.

Counselor Peggy Fedje. who has known Leona for 1-1 years. said Hassen has greatly increased the offerings of the Foreign Language Departmeni and also has tutored many foreign students.

"She is amdous that her students team the foreign language as well as the context that it is spoken in." she srud.

Jo)·ce Boswell. Leona's best friend of 18 years. recalls t1 tavorite memory: Severa.I years ago 1wo students from the island of Truk, neai Guam, came 10 NIC. Leona had them to dinner with Joyce to m11ke them feel at home.

Joyce said she and Leona made an effon 10 tall. to 1he <rndems during dinner and got no response. ApJ)3.rCntly in Truli i1 1s impolite l O talk during dinner.

"That wns the first time I ever knew Leona not to pid.. up l>tlch a significant detail in her research." Joy~ laughed.

Fedie described Leona as genuinely concerned. emhusiastic, knowledgeable and energetic.

Leona was born in Red Lodge. Mont.. and resided in that 91ea most of her life. She graduated from 1he University of Montana with majors in Spanish and English. & fore coming to NIC Leona worked in the FlllilUh Embassy jn Washington. D.C., and for lhe Finnish Consulate and lhe

Finnish Nauon,J Tm,d Agency in '{ev, York.

She lived m rtnland and wu mvolved ,,.;th Rotary lntunt1· tioaal Fellowship. She reaeved a one-year Fulbriibt 1ehotarslup lO leach at I f°'UllllSb uni•cml) She t.aught Amcncan hJ.SU>ry, Ammcan imutuuoru and Engluh. ln 1981 Leona took a sabbatical year 1n Sp&111 a_nd Finlaru:I. After retmng Leona plam to tra•el and trtn1b.te some Finrush -...orb. She would like to put 1oget.hu a F'U111l5h comcrsation course and perhaps teach a class somcume.

"I ha,·e so many olher ,-anous proJCCU I v.-a.nt to do, '"she

Campus reaction to attack

by Deni~ Ra.locs

Since 1be maJi;uory bombing of Ubva on April l~ by lhe Uni1ed States, a ct:IUl.O amount of apprehension and fear 1w hovered over the United Stares.

'-loamnur Kh3dafy's failure 10 fulfill his pr(XlllS( of rctaliatlon has served onI) to enhance the apprehension.

At "l!C, as dscv.·hcrc throughout the rounlf'), people are beginning to c>aluatc or re-evaluate President Reagan's judgement.

"I think President Reagan has made an enormous mistake," sophomore Carohm Rarick said. ''We really should ba~c made lhc cffon 10 go with political and ccono:mJC sancuoos. I don't think v.e'rc dealing with a rational person, so )OU Just don't use that approach with

tum."

Studc::11 Pam Fmk concurred, "We Med to lake a J)OSJUOn, but v,,e ntcd the

the u.S. bculg l)IJt in lhc position of bean aggressor. " " Tht pcTpCUatOr (Khada.fy) has 10 be ma.de accowuablt," Fmk said, "but oocc qaui lhc children pay ror L~ sins or the father."

Reapn's tactJc:s 'illcre Ltoded by two former miliar} men.

"Terrorism is gou,g to c:sc:a1ak We CIIJ! li1 back and do nothmg and watch 11 csawc or do somctlu1'g and it'll cscahte anyway," said student and IS-year Man~ Corps veteran Mike Carey. "ln striking baclt there is a ~ to stem the ti.de." lnsuuctor and reured • avaJ avintor mg

Lloyd Marsh agrees.

"We'Ye got to deliver a message. and hopefully it's been heard. If it hasn't been heard, we have to do it again," Marsh said.

Studem Gene Harding is supportive of Reagan's tactics also. ''It's the American way 10 show that we won't take anything from anyone. I fttl the Libyans arc Russian backed," Harding said. "Reagan's show of force shows he cares about what happens to Americans."

With the threat of terrorism ai air· pons, several NIC students and faculty members arc either revising or rcconsidering foreign travel plans.

"It's scary," said NJC student Melody Melton. "! 113d planned a trip 10 Europe, and now I won't go."

Instructors Judith Syltc and Jim McLeod have scheduled a group tour of Scotland this summer.

Syltc said she thought half of the group of 17 would pull out, but so far, only three have, for health reasons. " People arc really edgy," Syltc said.

The group was advised 10 revise its uavel plans and exclude London's Heathrow Airpon. she continued.

Syhe also plans a month-long European 1our with her 16-ycar-old daughter.

Weare "trying 10 find a balance between cauuon and fear . We will go 10 northern Italy, but no1 Rome," she said.

Once they arrive In Europe, all travel will be by Eurorail as opposed 10 night, she said.

Sports too valuable to delete All of 1he dispu1es la1ely abou1 what programs should be cu1 from this school disuic:t's cur· riculum have really bothered me.

"Sports" is 1he first "'Ord that comes to most minds when looking for programs 10 cul. and I think these hasty mental leaps arc made by \'Cry unaware people.

I can understand an athletic program Laking cuts in its budgc1. but destroying the entire program is so was1cful and would only hun 1hc school.

Anyone who bas actively panicipa1ed in athletics al the high school level can give 1csrimony 10 the fact lhat athletics arc as much if not more a part of the high school growing experience as classrooms arc.

Sports are an outJct from the quiet, restrain· ed. confined classroom atmosphere and allo" students to release tension and aggression productively and safel)•. They keep kids off the strcetS. Tension and frustration might be manifested in fights and vandalism if sports were 10 be deleted.

And for some, sports are all there is 10 grasp on 10. Some students don't find any subjects at their schools stimula1ing enough 10 compel them 10 wam 10 eitcell.

The teenage years arc ,cry insecure and for· mative years: consequenll), C\'cry bod) needs something to call their o"' n or the} just become Stagnant, physicall) and mentally.

Athletics are a discipline. Some people can't ac:cepl that. but my classroom experiences of !ugh school "'ere much Jess disciplined that the time I spent on the hoop coun or the uack.

Sports practices taught me to respect my body and to treat it nght. They taught me more about working "'ith people in a gi\e-and-takc fashion than any classroom ever could have. They open· cd me up to so many cliffemit rypcs of people t.ha1 1 wouJdn't have been ex-posed to to the classrooms.

Athletes learn to develop themselves in ways that the classroom docs:n'l offer. Mental dcve!OJ)mclll is as extreme as the physical. Both are stressed bcca~ both arc so nee~.

Individuality and cbanctcrs arc strengthened just as team performance is accented. Strong communication skills arc developed on the levels of athlctclcoach and athlete ·athlete that will be needed later in life.

Learning 10 set goals and reach potential per· formanccs are two major clements of lire that the

11.orld of athleucs offers. One learns to compete and strive for improvement to compete on the oat level.

Sports offer so much-an oullet, individual dC\'Clopmcnt, a sense of bclongmg, a taste of sue· ccss, vital life skills.

Lr athletics wen cut from the local high school, I would not find it difficult to imagine many of the graduates lea\ing t.he school. with no ~ of direction in their li\es, no craving to ach1e\e or imprO\C. I can picture an excess of those wbo wouldn't know the first thing about setting goals and disciplining themselves to achieve those goals.

My opinion is inevitably far from objcc:thc. b~t I sec no other way for hiib schools 10 prepare their gra~ua1es for life wit.bout offering athkucs.

Sc:-,cn members of the NIC track team have qualified for Lhe nauonal 1ournamcn1 as of April 26.

John Bentham (S.000 meters) 1s the onJy national qualifier from the men's team, but 1he women's team has qualified for three individual e-venu and the 4 X 80()..omer relay.

Marianne Farris qualified for the 800m; Lori Frist.o qualified for the triple jump: and Teresa Windcdahl qualified in the high jump.

The 4 X 800m relay includes Farris and freshmen Shelly Layton, Ruth Tully and Jo Stidham.

The team left for Ricks College and the regional tournament Thursday at noon and are competing in preliminaries today. Finals uc scheduled for Saturday.

According to Coach Bundy, NJC sent the majority of its team 10 the meet even if some of the qualifying limes weren't met. The region is small enough that there would not be enough runners to hold a mee1 if only qualiriers were to go.

"There's a good possibility for both men and women to finish second," Bundy said. He added that this as probably the strongest women's team that he hM taken to the regional mee1.

"E•crywhere we put a fast guy somebody has someone faster. It just depends on who enters what event," Bundy said.

According to A5siSUIJ1t Coach M11che Graft, "Realistically. Ricks is suonger: they're deeper. I thmk CSI and us arc close for second. but deep down I think v.c can bca1 Rick,. " It's ume for our ludHodig down deep and let 'cm ny."

Bundy said there are a few Carcb who might qualify for nationals at the regional tourney. P. runner must win his event at regionals or meet the national Stan· dard 10 qualify for notionals.

Marty Boday (pole vault). Rob Bowe (discus). Chris Dixon and Dave Shrum (800m), Demck Helms (long jump), Kru Lancour (200m and 400m), Steve Seymour (high jump) and lhe men's 4 X 400-meter relay alJ have good chances of qualifying for nationab. according 10 Dundy.

Four Cardinals finished in first pla~ at the Whit· man Invitational Saturday in Walla Wal la, Wash.

Marty Boday won the pole vault; Demck Helms won the long jump; Lon Fnsto won 1hc tnplc Jwnp; and Teresa Wlndedahl won the high jump.
