ASNIC passes study lounge policies

by Dto Breeden ASNIC hurriedly passed a motion Oct. 30 limltiog the use or the Subway study lounge for an shows and displayi.

Backed by viC(¡prcsident Eric Pbilllps and Sc:n. Bob Stull, the biU states that the study lounge will be used as such except between the last day or fall flna.h and Jan. 31 and from the la.st day of spring finals until Sept. 30.

Between these dates the room can be used as an an gallery to feature local artisu. school artists or national shows

that tour through the area. In addition, paintings can be bung on the walls during lite study dates, and artisu' presentations can be given with a week's notice.

One dissenting vote came from Sen. Tim Kelly who fell that the dates were too limiting and that mo1c time should be set aside for artists who wish to display their work.

NlC student Jeff Scott's appointment as ASNIC Activities Chairman was

the North Idaho College Volume <40, Number 5

unanimously accq,ted. Scott takes over from Dennis Gorringe who resigned two wcclu ago after internal pressure from the board.

The board then voted to raise the c:cilmg on non-board approved activities from SSOO 10 S1,200.

President Kris Dunning suggested the change because or the rising cost or entertainment and because at a recent conference he had the chance to book a comedian to come to NIC, but it had

The measure passed with the ~tipulauon that the act in question gets approval of the activities committee, which can be done over the phone.

Kelly suggested that the board look into purchasing a big-screen TV for use in the SUB and Subway.

Phillips suggested that Kelly dig up all the inforTOlltion he can on buying such a set-up and then bring it before the board to get approval or to be referred to a committee for further discussion.

In 01her action, the board: -approved a blood drawing that will be held Dec. 4 in the Kootenai Room of the SUB. -agreed to send six delegates to Boise this weekend ror the ACUI conference.

-approved appointments to committees except for the linkage and social committees until it could be determined wha1 exactly they do.

John Smithson, motorcycle repair instructor, was chosen by American Honda Motor Co. 10 participate in lhe workshop entitled, "Educational Panncrship Communique."

The workshop will research the potential for a series or educational pannerships between Honda and key educational facilities across the country.

It wiU also allow professionals and in· structors 10 discuss long-range plans for business~ucational partnerships, according 10 Smithson.

Smithson, who refers 10 his relationship wilh motorcycles as "a love affair," has worked with motorcycles for 30 ye~ and has 1augh1 motorcycle, snowmobile and small engine repair at NIC for the past 13 years.

Smithson said he has auended several olher Honda workshops, principally training seminars. but this is the fim

The appeal was filed Sept. 3.

Dale Loper, or the city engineering office, ,iud the basic philo~ophy of the ~ign ordmoncc is to keep s1gnage at n n11mmurn to give Coeur d' f\lene n "~tntic look'' rather than 11 "cluttery" one.

As far as the ordinance goes, "a 11gn 1s o 'Sign is a sign," Loper snid.

Student help

Advisory booth opens in SUB

by Sharon Shddo o NIC is piloting a new program that wiU provide information and supplement student services.

A ~ information boolh in che SUB will house the new program, according to counselor and project coordinator Gary Coffman. The new booth, funded by the dean of instruction's budget, officially will open Nov. 11 and wiU be open 20-25 hours per week.

There is a tremendous need for a basic place 10 have a student's questions answered, Coffman said.

He also explained that lhc program would not replace advisers or student services. but it would provide quick answers on basic things such as dropping or adding a class.

There have been two pan-time people hired that are highly qualified to help s1udents, he said.

One of the advisen, Roben Newell, holds masters degrees in educauon adminisuation and counseling. He also has experience in advisory programs.

The other adviser, Barbara Bulger, has a bachelor's degree in psychology and also has extensive expcncncc in advinng.

Coffman is anxious for the program 10 begin.

"Now it's jsut a matter of ser.-ing ic up, plugging it in and getting it going," he S31d.

Following an Cxt . 15 rccommendalion by lhc college's board of 1rus1ccs, ll new formul11 for di\iding s1111c funds bc111,cen NIC and 1hc College of Southern Idaho (CSI) bu been drafted.

The prescn1 method for d1v1ding funds between lhe 1wo colleges calls for 7S pcrocn1 of the 101111 lllloca11on to be spin heqly, and the remaining 25 percent u split on 1he bllSis of fuU-timc c~ui\·aleni (FTE) 11cadcmic students, Dir~1or of Public Relations Ste,•e Schenk said.

The proposed formula calls for a S l>C~t reduction in the nmount split ac:c:ordll\g 10 F1'E totals cnc:h year until a ~-so division is achieved 11,ithin five Years, Schenk said.

Althoogh CSI tuu a larger physical Plant, NIC has more FTEstudcrus, and !he bottom line is that the state is pa)·· mg more money for every student that auencb CS! , Schenk said.

In order 10 assure that the figures 11tt

correct and the agreement equitable, NIC and CSI will be c.'tchanging admissions dittc'tors. NI C's admissions dim:tor Oa,id Lindsay will be going to CS! for 7 in ? and CS! 's dim:tor will be here, Schenk explained.

According 10 recent statistics, NIC has I ,4S I fTE studenlS and CS! has 1,068. The la.test allocation v.ns divided with S::?,376,SOO to NlC and Sl, 189,400 to CSI. President Barry Schuler said.

The DC\\ budget proposal was sent to CSl's president, Jerry Me)uhocffer, on Oct. 23, and must be appro,ed by its board and then presented to tbe legislanm:, Schuler said.

Schuler believes the No coUegcs can cooperate together to 11cruevc greater funding. The new proposal, a_c:cording lO Schuler, will offer tbe best means of casing the potential impact on CSl's future budget planning and at the same time provide a more equiu1ble share of the general account funds for NlC.

Practice what you preach One of many things in this world that I love is mail. There's just something r really enjoy about tearing into an envelope a.ad bearing from someone else.

But, one thing about my mail that makes it different from anybody else's is that much of the time I have to share it with everybody who reads this newspaper.

But that's all right-I knew what r was getting mto when I took t.hls job.

First of all, this paper does print every leuer that it receives as long as it comes close Lo meeting the requirements that are listed on this page.

Even if the letter tries to make me look like a sc:uzbuckeL, I print it.

As a matter of fact, those leners that are derogatory Low.u-d me, I try to put a catchy headline on them so that everyone wiU read themjust to be fair.

Also as a general rule, I usually don't answer letters. I ha1oe my say, they have theirs, and that's it.

However, last week I received two letters that I think raise some interesting questions, so I have decided to answer them in this column.

First I would like all my readers to read these two letters. The first one I will answer is Rose Mary Jessick's letter on Page 6. The second is Eli Ross' dissertation on Page 5.

Rose Mary's answers arc as follows: Since ex-Sentinel ad\iser Tim Pilgrim took a year off to continue his education, I was asked to return as editor in order to add some cominuity to the newspaper in his absence.

Being editor Is a learning experience, and others should get a chance at it. However, the best person for the job is picked at the end of every spring semester.

This is my third year as a student because of my first answer. As far as "dirt" goes, if anyone can find a factual error as stated in my last column, I will resign as e<litor. And, I am a full-time student.

Yes, I receive a luition waiver for being e<litor, and yes, I did work on the work/study program for lbe college over the summer. And, yes, I am using the system . However, I was under the impression that the system was there for the student's use.

Now. for Mr. Ross: Hypocrisy, like mail, is another thing I love aboul life, and Mr. Ross' letter is a prime example. Anyone wbo would write me an eight-page paper about checking facts aod then fails to check the facts himself, should be shot Uwa an expression).

Before J wrote my column, I interviewed a dozen people including two interviews apiece with President Schuler and Ross. Ross would have done well to have conducted a few of his own.

First of all, I hope also that Roy Elam will forgive me for using bis name~pecially since he was more than happy to be interviewed and really would like to get to the bottom of this issue.

Second of all, the college does not have a "well-established, welldefined" written policy for hiring support personnel, one of which Ross is.

Thirdly, the only reporter to resign from the Sentinel staff was Barbara Chapman, and she said she would be willing to sign an affidavit stating that the reason she quit was because of a lack of time, not because of any "heavy-handed " policies on my pan.

Fourth!)", If I was an ins tructor at this college I would be offended for Ross' insinuation that they cannot remain objective: in their academic decisions and still socialize with stUdems. And , incidentially, Tun Pilgrim is a vegetarian, and together he and I never bunted anything but women.

Lastly, I don't know who explained it to you, but because of a recent decision by the NIC Board of Trustees, the adviser can now censor an editor's or reporter's writing. l would like to thank Mr. Ross for two things: For a man to defend so vehemently himself and a college president he supposedly hardly knows, my last column must have came a lot closer to the Lrulh than even l imagined.

Secondl)", until Mr. Ross' letter arrived, l was going to resign at the semester break as editor of the Sentinel. However, his letter has given me the incentive I needed to carry on until the end of the year. Tban1c you.

Witchcraft, on the other hand, 1s an ancient nature religion dating back to paleolithic man, based on love: of all things in nature and working with and worshipping the Earth Mother and the Sky Father.

Concerned citizen: Students grow up Dear Editor: Approximately two weeks ago I was downstairs in the study lounge of the SUB doing what one shoul1 do-study. The silence was broken by a fifth student joining the four students studying behind me.

Lmmediatcly, the one who joined them started bragging about the drunken driving ticket he had received. (I' m not sure when.)

Then the others, mostly male, started bragging about the DUls, excessive speed. and how they had or had not been caught. All this conversation was held in a ''pat-me-on-the-back-aren't-I· cool" tone of voice.

Besides the fact 1hey disturbed mine and everyone else's studying, the conversation was infuriating. How can these future leaders and fathers consider this acceptable behavior and be proud of themselves and others for endangering peoples' lives?

If they don't care about themselves, that's their problem, but don't endanger me and my family v.ith your junior high school antics.

Grow up and take the responsibility of being a college studem, having a driver's license and a brain-seriously.

Sincerely, Linda DeSouza NIC student

Ross' dissertation

What's Breed'n on horizon for NIC Dear Editor:

II is my opinion that the real issue behind Dan Brecden's ugly opinion column of the Oct. 25 ectition of the Sentinel isn't a case of "head colds," it isn't Dr. Eli T. Ross, it isn't Therese Ross. it isn' t even the employment process selection procedures, it isn 't the "good-buddy system"-it i.s Mr Brcedcn's self-styled vendclla to undermine NIC President Schuler for reasons best known to Dan Breeden.

I hardJy think the original agenda of the marri age of Mr. Schuler's daughter and a later payment of remaining charges is really a major agenda item either. However, I can address m)'Self to the maucrs in which I have become ID\•oJved by vinue of his journalistic indictment. which has only served to injure the college's counst'ling therapy program by casting aspersions on the authenticity of the quality of its therapeutic staff. The losers will be our students if they feel anything less than full confidence in the program and its seffices.

No major newspaper would have allowed what Dan had written to have appeared in an opinion page unless t here had previously been a straight news story run in which facts would ha,•e been reasonably well established. By doing what Dan did, he took full adva.ntoge of the "journalist cop. out," couching his opinion " ith partial facts, omissions. innuend~. spurious refcrence!S and ~he like. Dan Breeden is not a full fledged JournaJist-he is an apprentice in the trade. As I _read Dan, he needs a great deaJ of mature adVice and guidance in the kind of copy he prepares

and is able to get printed because o f b.lS pnvileged position as editor-in-<:hief.

Dan sttms to be quite upset and makes a big deal over the Litle of my doctoral degree. given as human behavior rather than than psychology.

The board of Medical Examiners in California. as well as the Board of Consumer Affairs, recognizes about 5 different degree titles as cquivaJency degrees in psychology in the mental health fields. The course work taken in each degree, whether it is titled psychology or otherwise, is carefully examined for meeting content rc,quircments-the title is not the big thing in spire of \\'hat Dan has suggested. He spends considerable energy quoting a Dean Lauer from United States International University as stating there is core curriculum cross-over but a considerable difference between the two. Dan seems to be more cooc:emed about the "considerable differences" than the crossover c-0mp:u.ability. Had Dan published the full information regarding the degree, he would also have discovered that m 1966-69 when m)' doctoral diploma was awarded, the only degree available anywhere at any university level in San Diego County in the area of psychological and mental health studies was the degree I rccci .."Cd. Furthermore, he might have reported that the world's most eminent PS><chologist today, Dr. Cul Rogers, was one of the people who assisted in the preparation of the degree and approved the doctoral program as a broader, more substantially based program for the humanistic approach to psychology. \\'hat

Dan also didn't report is that I continued to take post-<loctoral graduate classes through 1979 until I had accumulated over 70 additional semester crectits in psychology and educational psychology.

Cynieslly, Dan goes on to say, " Boy, if I had known that the application information needed no verification, I would have applied for tbe job myself." Depending on what is meant by verification, one can hardly say that no outside investigation is made on candidate credentials. References were checked, spot checks and phone conversations made, transcripts received-all these are traditional and typically accepted ways of obtaining evidence of the candidate's authenticity. After all, a job application doesn't warrant a criminal investigation. How naive a statement to makebut an effective one joumalistically to cast doubt-and that's just what Dan intended to do-raise unsubstamiated issues of suspicion and doubt. It is often more powerful than fact, particularly when all the other critical factual data is conveniently ignored.

Second point: I regret that Dan Breeden found it necessary to mention Dr. Elam's na me in his article. I hope Dr. Elam will forgive him and won't be offended by this direct reference, because I understand that the names of the candidates are to be kept confidential and perhaps Dr. Elam may not be comfortable in having the matler made known. I don't know Dr. Elam, but whateverthe reasons arc for his not having been considered or continued on Page 16

Writer questions rhetorically Dear Editor: Well, I see that Dan Breeden is a1 it again. Every time I pick up the Sentinel, I wonder how il cams the awards it does. With Breeden as editor, i1 is more like the National Enquirer than a school paper.

Dan must sta)' up nights digging up "dirt" about Mr. Schuler and others at NlC. He anacks everyone.

Perhaps Dan would like 10 answer a few questions I have about him.

How come he is editor for two years? As editor of a school paper should be a learning experience, shouldn't others have a chance at it? How come he is taking so long to graduate from a two-year college? ls he a professional student , or is he so busy digging "din" that he cannot handle a full load of credits? Does he receive a scholarship or tuition waiver to be editor? Was he working on work/study this summer? If the ansv.er to the last two questions is "yes," isn '1 he "using the system?"

I have been working at 1he college for 17 years; also I was a student in the early years of 1he college, and it makes me furioiu 10 see something that I have worked for and paid wes to suppon to be so harshly criticized by an amateur editor. Believe me, if I had paid to su~be to the Semmel, I v.ould cancel my subscription and demand my money back so I could subscribe 10 the National Enquirer.

Yours truly, Rose Mary Jessick Library clerk

press ethics

Editor selection differs with schools . Some ~pl~ sensitive 10 articles and opinions expressed in the Sentinel ques. uon qualificauons neccssar, for s1uden1s 10 be among the paper's personnel and their selection process. lo large journalism schools, editors often arc selected by a publications board because the school has many qualified students for the positions. For example, the University of Montana School of Journalism, after which the NIC program is panemed, includes about 200 students, 16 instructors and 41 courses. Therefore, no single instructor is familiar with the qualifications or each candidate. Interested students apply for the position and arc screened and selected by the board. The UM daily paper, the Kaimin, has an instructor/adviser ,, hose opinion is considered.

Unlike a largMcbool program. NIC has about 20 journalism students and one instructor offering four courses and advising the Sentinel. Therefore, rhc ach-iser is familiar with all the students and their qualifications. By the end of their freshman year the adviser has a definite opinion as 10 who arc the most qualified 10 be editors 1he following school year.

These are student editors. most of them having two or three more years of undergraduate educa11on remaining until they are released 10 1he professional world. They ate 001 profe,sionals. They are learning these responsibilities.

The veteran Sentinel editor for this year, Dan Breeden, was chosen by rhe pre,.ious adviser as the incoming adviser had not yet been hired. Breeden was chosen 10 provide leader hip and continuity 10 the other new editors. all of whom were new 10 the pos1uons. Breeden also was editor last year. The other editors were at the top of their class and were selected 10 serve on the basis of academic achievement and promise as responsible individuals.

Students to become junkyard dogs Ever know anyone, other than a mechanic, that welcomed car repairs?

I didn't think so.

Automobile repairs are the proverbial royal pain as far as I'm concerned. I've always bad this love-bate relationship with the cars I've owned. As a result, I tend 10 enjoy a car much more when ii is coo~rative and running. In contrast, I tend to loathe the mechanical monsters v.hen they're 001 performing well.

For instance, Lake a car of mine that has been siuing idle for the past Lhtce mon1hs; a beached whale in from of my apanment. High and dry now, 1he car has quit functioning for me in traffic mainstreams, and somehow I've go1 to get ii back in 1he water again.

Like a lot of other people in this world, I have little mechanical inclination. Any ability to do something with a crescent wrench, in my case, is nonexistent (ever hear of anyone who had trouble chewing gum and walking a1 the same time?).

Even though I attempt 10 do the majority of my own car repairs. I '\¡e always been puzzled by my lack of mechanical ability because my grandfather, father, uncles and brothers are all adept mechanically.

Actually. mechanical ability seems to take a lot of pa1ience-sometbing I've never been accused of having a great deal of. When working on a car, I usually throw a minor tantrum or two and carry on unpleasant conversations with the car.

My wile sometimes prefers to take the kids and leave the house for a while if she knows Lha1 I'll be working on a car.

Anyway, like a 101 of other people going 1htougb college, I'm on a tight budget, and car repairs are not exactly what I enjoy spending my money on.

Nine rimes out of 10, i1 seems, the pan you need to replace in your car must have been cast in gold or blessed by the Pope.

Alan Funt would fare well with his "Candid Camera" set up behind the counter of an auto parts store. It's easy to imagine 1be looks of disbelief, shock and "surely, you must be jolting" that Alan could capture on film of customers when the person behind the counter says something 10 the effect of. "You'll have to mortgage your house to get the part you need."

Parts stores an fine, but there are other alternatives too. When I need

something for my car, I've found wrecking yards to be invaluable resourcefully economic havens from the expensive auto pans stores. Many times, I can gel a pan I need at these automobile boneyards for a substan¡ tial savings (for college students and anyone else as well) over the price I would have to pay at a parts store.

Sometimes it can be quite an experience visiting the~e businesses.

Recently, I had to go 10 a local wrecking yard LO find a pan I needed for the immobile car I have in front of my apartment.

A man behind the counter a1 the yard told me that he dido '1 have the pan I was seeking inside the parts room at the moment, but be seemed to lh.inJc that a car out in the wrecking yard had the pan l was looking for.

"Go check ~Ith ' Ro~dy,"' he told me and pointed out the door leading outside to hundreds of rusty, wailing cars in a metallic graveyard. h's a haunting feeling and also one of curiosity walkfog through these yards of mechanical wreckage. As I walked past the silent machines. I found myself morbidly intrigued with the twisted frames and bodies which abounded.

A horribly shauered station wagon was set off to the side from 1he other wrecked cars. h was similar 10 a car that my father and mother had once owned when r was younger, and pleasant memories of family trips in their car came to mind.

1 finally located 'Rowdy' (his real name was Percy I found out after talking to him) who was able 10 locate the car and the pan I needed.

I was able to get the pan for less than half of what I would have had to pay at a pans store, and that's good news for anyone~pecially budget conscious students.

Not everyone wants to tune into one radio station and be fed a steady diet of the stock-in-trade of that particular station.

Public radio station I<PBX in Spokane offers a linle something for mOS< everybody: classical music, late night jazz, Prairie Home Companionlive radio with Garrison Keillor, Celtic music, The Baclcwater Blues Hour with Frank Delany and many other music and entcrt.aiJlment programs.

Along with that, the su1tion features readings or literature, a classic radio show from 1he 1930s "The Adventures of Doe Savage," an array of news programs, human interest segments like the "Studs Terkel Almanac" and much more.

Public radio news is the most binding factor in 1enns of loyalty and desire 10 ha"e public radio expand into new

areas.

News programs such as "All Things Considertd.. have strong followings, and when people move into areas where public radio does not exist, the loyalty to and the need for this type of news programming usually provides the impetus to get ii started, according 10 KPBX general manager Richard Malawi.ua.

KPBX 1n.no11accr Jan Munstcdl

Public radio operates sans commercial advertising. Some money is provid-

ed by government grants and various foundations. but most of it comes from the station's listeners.

"The listeners tend to view the stations as services, not as charities, therefore, the support is usually there," Malawi.Sta said.

The way public radio-and tclevision-genera.te listener support is through the much necessary, though sometimes dreaded, fund drives.

Funding drivC5 function like this: Listeners periodically make pledges or whatever they feel is within their means 10 help meet the operating cost projected by the station for the given time period.

"Some people think it works like the cable TV system and don't like the thought of paying. However. the cost of advertising is Included in the purchase price of everything one buys," Malawista said, ''The listener pays either way."

Public radio station KWSU on 1he campus in Pullman has been on the air since 1922, bringing alternative radio close to Spokane for a long time-but the success of KPBX proves that it wasn't close enough.

john hughes Great films on horizon?

First, l would like to relate some information about the possibilicy of classic films being shown in the C-A Auditorium for a dollar a head.

In lieu of paying up to $4 at a regular movie house to see mediocre to awful films (making exception for the rare quality film), one might consider the alternative of paying only SI to see movies like "Suddenly Last Summer," "Born Yesterday," " Requiem for a Heavyweight," "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" and so on .

The showings would be on a flexible schedule deternuned by auditorium manager Kathy Mans to coordi nate ,vith other C-A events. Ho~C'\er, sufficient prior notice of show times and dates will be given.

For a properly relaxed film watching atmosphere, some clu.nge is needed in the way people view and treat the C-A Audito rium .

Because lbe bulldlog is new, some treat it in a subur ban-hollSC"ifenew-living-room-shoes-off-it 's-for-company-only kind o f way. lt is only a building, and ii should be used 10 its full potemial. A little spilled popcorn ain ' t gonna hurt none; it can simply be vacuum ed up.

However, that does not mean proper decorum should not be maintained when it is called for. A movie is a movie; a live performance is another thing entirely.

The ASNIC will be asked to provide the initial rental cost of the films (which is mi nimal for these older movies) and can be reimbursed if the project succeeds. Any money the movies make can go into a fund for future rentals.

I think lbe ASNIC will discover that this project could appeal to a broader range of students, faculr:y and community members than do mOSt Kool -Aid-quaffing-sock-hopping affairs.

In an effort to keep the costs o f the project to a minim·um, the ASNIC could perhaps finance some strong initial advenising to attract II good sized crowd to the first showing. Then these first film aficionados could sign a guest sheet, which would allow the compilation of a mailing list that could be used to announce future film showings.

A slToog loJtJal turnout, os1ensibly, would generate good word-of. mouth advertisment and hopefully keep additional ad,·enising needs minimal.

It is now up to the ASNIC to determine the fate of the project.

On another note, genuine gratitude is felt toward all who participate in the various artistic evenlS presented here at NIC. However, a ooticable pattern of tardiness exists.

For ex.ample, the Oct. 27 performance of the North Idaho Symphony Orchestra had to be delayed to accommodate all the people in the lobby who had shown up late.

This makes the performers more nervous than they already are and disrupts the now of any program. If the starting time of an event is delayed, the patrons who did arrive on time are forced to wait as weU. Often people come late, the starting time is not delayed and they have lo wait for a break in the program before they are seated. This causes them to miss part of a program they have paid to see.

Most people are considerate of others if the) simpl)· think about it.

This is not tnteoded as a scolding, but rather as a pica for courtesy and understanding (and punctuality).

Sound exciting? Well it is crowd pleasing, but the plot hasn't even begun yet. What the scene does is set the mood for the fast-paced, hardhitting, and (forgive the pun) explosive action in the movie "To Live and Die in L.A." The name of the game is counterfeiting money, or "play dough," and the stakes arc murder and

The story begins as the main character, agent Richard Chance, played brilliantly by William L. Petersen, apprehensively allows bis veteran partner to follow a lead on ms own. Just two days before rus retirement, the senior agent is ruthlessly murdered by big-time counterfeiter Eric Masters, olaved bv Wtlliam Defoe.

"It's nict to just Jump in a ,·an and go somewhere like Pritchard or Mu"ay, but isn't really practiCJJI, " Millu said.

Segments scMdultd for the second program include a look at the NIC Crypto:oology Club, a close-up study of the Seattle Mime Theatre and tht Tamarack School.

Single parents Life explained from insider's view b> Innlce Raines Single-parenting is, at best, a full-llmc job. When combined wi th being a full-time college uudent. tbc result is total chaos.

My decision 10 return 10 school was the result or a divorce that reduced our annual income from S34,000 for a family of four to less than $6,000 for a family of three.

Also, I suddenly found that I was not marltetablc in the working world and had to choose bcrwcen sbonterm (two to four years} destitution and long-lCllll poverty.

The prevailing force in my life has become the determination 10 become independent or monthly childsuppon checks and rood stamp allotments. It is a constant battle 10 maintain some semblance of saniry 1111 the face or rising prices, limited time and incrcas~ stress.

I often get up at 4:30 a.m. Early morning is the only time it is quiet enough to study. I'm sure if my 8-ycar-old son Jon l:ncw I was up, he would get U!P 10 1:eep me company. He seems to equate quiet wit'h lonely.

I previously stayed up late to study, but Jon would sneak dow1151airs periodically to check on me. He always had an excuse-he was hungry, thirsty, need· cd a hug or just wanted 10 know why it was so quicl.

Occasionally he has good excuses for getting up during the night-fevers. asthma anacks or vomiting. Jon is also the type or child who brings me a note in the middle of the night that soys, "Jon volunteered to bring three dozen cookies 10 school"-tomorrow.

My daughter hasn't bothered me at night since sh.e began going through puberty. The last time she spoke 10 me-at least in a normal way-was to say, " I don't sec why the world doesn't revolve around me."

Another advantage 10 studying in the morning is not having 10 watch the clock. Leigh has a whole network of friends who have nothing bcner to do than call early and often, for the sole purpose of monitoring her wardrobe and giggling.

Art director has inspirational dream

by Mal) Lou SneddH Joseph Jonas bas a dream. A 14-foot-<.aU dream, lO

Jonas said th.is long project would be a "labor or love'' for him. He addfti I.hat ii would n.01 only add

be euct-

10 his portfolio or works, but also add to the campus as well.

Jonas, the NIC art deparuncnt eh.ainna.n, has hopes to enlarge his sculpture. "The Human Quest for Beauty. Truth and Goodness," to become a part of the college campus.

The scull urc c:onsislS of Lhrce figures of young people, a girl and rwo boys. Each is pursuing an aspect of whar Jonas calls "a universal theme."

The piece is to be made of bronze. using the lost wu process. Jonas explained Clay models are made flni, with a strong pipe frame undcrncath. Impressions will then be t.aken. making :i rubber mold.

Finding a place 10 cast the piece could pose a pte>blem, however, a foundry in Portland. Ore., could handle rhe job, he said, adding that the pedestal for the statue could be made at NIC. The project will take n few yean, but JonM is willing to put forth the time. work and energy such an undcr1al.ing demands. He feels the sculpture could ~n·c equally well u an inspiration to 11udent~ and be an asscr to the community.

One obstocll.' lies in the path of Jonas' work-how to pay for the project. Such a large and intricate "oClllpture c:ould c:ou many thousands of dollars, he said.

Jonas ~id ,hat he has discussed the problem of rinding funds with NIC President Barry Schuler.

Schuler, according 10 Jonos. suggested that receiving private donations for the proJect would be one alternative 10 think about, or pcrhnps dedicating it as a memorial.

Whatever route taken. Jonas claims that the cost is the most prohi bitive fnctor confronting him.

Vocational Welding can spar~ f~~ures II'

by Oris Bllrbff

Toe welding program at North lcWao CoUege provides its students with a way to learn and qualify in a jobs-available trade in less time than an academic education, according to Clarenct Haught, director of vocational c.duca· tion, and Milt Turley, welding instruc· tor. The two claim NlC's vocational welding program is comparable to any in the state.

However, Turly points out, "voca· tional school is not a dumping &round for those who cannot make it in the academic classroom."

Students wishing to get into the welding program must pass a battery or tests and a private interview before be· ing accepted, Turley said.

"We want first-class students, and when we get through, they will be rim· class citizens also," Turley said.

After being accepted into the program, 14 studentS spend the next nine months learning safety, oxyacetylene welding, oxyacetylene cutting applicGtions, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding, carbon arc cutting, blueprint reading, shop fabrication and pattern layout, according to Turley.

Students must complete 112 tasks in the nine-month program and spend 600 hours in the classroom and 1,500 hou rs welding tirne, he said.

"Safety is the biggy," stated Turley.

"If students don't learn 10 be safe. they don't leave with a certification. I like to teach them to use their heads."

Not everyone entering the program is

For women who are looking for a job with great pay, wdding might just be the thing.

Any woman who can finish the course and pass the P-1 test for ccnificatioo can get a job starting out around Sl7.50 an hour. according to Turley.

"I can guarantee her a job with high pay," Turley said. "There bas not been a female in the welding program in quite a while. but there are jobs out there for

a novice welder. Turley said.

them."

"Bunker Hill. Hecla and Sunshine mines have sent whole groups of men 10 the program 10 upgrndc their skills.'' he said.

Mines are not the only places welders can find work. Shipyards arc another sou rce, along with construction. mechanics, both basic and dicscl, and even carpenters needs welders, ac:rording to Haught.

Although job placement for the program is in the 75 percentile, "Jobs arc scarce and hard 10 get in this area. We have to encourage our students all the time to accept jobs out of the area," Haugh t wd.

Along with teaching welding, Turley also can certify welders. Having been certified by the American Welding Society himself. Turley said that anyone, not only students. who passes the tCSl can become ccnified.

Both Haught and Turley stand firm that the program is good for the community and good for the college. ''I can provide you (the community) with a service: I can provide you with a cenified leader," Turley said.

Haught perhaps summed it up best when be said, "There's a future in welding, or we ~·ouldn't be offering it."

According to Halpern, the campus is expanding, which makes his task that much harder with only three other pcopie (Charlie Holecek. Jackie Irvine and Ester Webb) to do all the work.

He described his coworkers as "super workers.•·

Dan ancmplS to make a point that bcc:ausc I share s.uru"lar religious views with the PRsidcnt. this makes. 11 diffs;:ulL to be objce1h·c. I demur to 1h11 pomt.

It is thil type or conjcctu~ under the guise of journalistic prcrogativts to opn:sl opinions I.bat bun and harm careen and reputations.

Speaklo1 or uc. to grind, Dan points ow th4l Carol Brown. NIC foreign stude.01 adviser, who has been v.-orking for N!C for the past two years, is the wife of the pastor ofSchulcr's church. Again. I demur. So what, Dan? Should Carol Brown not ha,-c been tillowcd to apply or be considered bcc:au.sc or who she is? Would the selection then have bcco more fau? Or. would she nOI also have been dcrued the riaht 10 Job consideration. a viol4tion of bcr civil risbts? I am glad 1am not the prcs.idcnt of thu college. Frankly, Mr. Schuler ba.s a great deal or my empathy for the "lCJ'IDJtc:s" that uodcnnine bis and the college's foundation.

Now. let's 1t1 to a fourth mana-Thcresc Ross. Dao SllltC$ 1h01 she docso't bavc a Ph.D in psydlol<>o nor a m&Slcr's in psychological courucling. Bra:dco refers 10 Th~ Ross a.s a c:linic:al soc:i.al worker. He apparently ladts the undemanding of what her degree and liccming cotail.

( sentinel sports )

Lacing humor, technology Sometime while my back was turned, athletic shoemakers tied the knot '11,ith modem techn9logy and took I.be first step toward a long run of uluamodem sports shoes.

The other day I entered a store with hopes of wallc· ing out in a new pair of sneakers. No such Juclc. My eyes never go: past the assortment of shoes chat seemed co belong in the next Sw Wars sequel or Buck Rogers rerun.

And the salesman was oo help- a real on-I.be-job loafer. So I shoed him away. But then I felt like such a heel not knowing a thing about all I.bis new roorwcar.

Shiny-silver, high-top basketball shoes that looked ltke they were wrapped in almunium foil u.sed some kind of velcro/J.acc system similar to the heat shield security design on NASA's space shuttle.

- Then a running shoe caught my C'}-elet. I picked it up, and the sole came off. This shoe arched t.h e gap bet'll,"ttJl the old and the new.

For S9S, it came with tv,o diffcm1t bottoms that were attached by some kind of space-age vclcro, so the runner could change soles for varying terrains. ln time , the salesman came near, curious about my curiosity, no doubt .

"He better not tread on me," I thought to myself.

He told me about a S200 shoe that could be plugged into a home computer after a run, and it ..-ould 1101 • - - • only spit out bow far the runner r.n, but the heart rate and estimated caloncs burned to boot!

Computer shoes and interchangeable treads were a bit much for me to converse about, let alone foot the biU for. They really jogged my mind, so I laced up the discussion and hiked on out of there-without a DC'II, pair of sneaks.

Shine grounded out by bats, balls $6,674.40. That's how much it cost NIC to refinish the noor in Christianson Gymnasium before the 1984-85 school year.

New policies governing the use of the new noor were to be instituted to ensure a long and shiny life.

"Open shooting .. onJy would be allowed from noon until 2 p.m. on Fridays, and then "onl}• clean basketball shoes will be allowed oo the court," according to NIC Athletics Ad· ministrative Assistant Jim Headley, as quoted from the first issue of the Sentinel last year.

Now beJng an avid basketball fan and player, I thought this was great. Finally, a beautiful new gym floor would be taken care of properlyunlike the floor in my high school gym, which was randomly accented with black scuffs from running shoes, hiking boots and even army boots.

But then last fall I discovered the baseball team

holding infield practice in the NIC gymnasiumthe sound of the bat snapping against the ball and the ball thudding two or three times across the freshly-done floor before it could be stopped.

These things pierced my visions of an enduring shine.

One might argoe that a baseball isn't hard on the noor. but I would have to challenge that with the simple fact that my main use of a baseball is 10 pound laCk:s into walls. It's also a valuable tool in my fight to make m;• roommate's Garfield doll a permanent clement of his mattress.

Meshed \\ith the sounds of the bat and ball were the slide-lo-a-stop squealcs of sneakers and blackbouomed turf shoes leaving their signatures on the finish.

I djd.n't know w hat to think. My image of preservation, frugality and all that economical cost-effectiveness stuff was being tarnished along ',\ itb the new noor.

john • Jensen.......__._._.., It seemed so contradict.Ory, almost vandalistic.

Maybe there is something I don't know about the physics of the baseball's force collidjng with the stationary floor and the resultant factors thereof. Who does know?

If there are such factors, why was this going on, and will it continue this year?

Six-thousand-plus dollars seems like a lot of green 10 be used as ground cover for infield practice.

The Cardinal vollcyballrn missed a NJCAA Region 18 championship berth wilh a third-place finish in Round 2 of the northern division elimination tournamcnt played Oct. 25·26 at Ontario.

Ore. NlC lost its first match 3-1 to second· place finisher, College of Southern Idaho, 1n a con1es1 marred by a critical scorer's error in 1he third game. Coach Len Mattei said. ln the second match, the Cardinals handily downed Treasure Valley Com· munity College but then fell to cvcn1UJll champion Rides College in the final match.

Sophomore Chris Calzacorta was the third of seven players picked for the AllToumamcru team and is a contender for All-Region honors. During the tourney she spiked IS kill sho~. blocked 21 shots. served five aces and led the team in digging low shots off the hardwood.

Frosh standout Heidi Masterson led all power biucrs in the tourney with 31 kills in the first round and an aggregate of 46 for both rounds.

Harriers end strong, on road to nationals bJ Mil..r tiunders Both 'IIC's cross count!')' 1eams are on their way to the NJ CAA national meet at Pwunc, Ill., this weekend following a strong performance at rcgionah NO\ . 2.

While 11 ~ined on Coeur d'Alene last weekend. the harriers made the best of what Coach Mike Bundy called "perfect running conditions" at Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Ore. Needing at least a second place finish in team competi1ion 10 qualify for a berth 10 nationals. the men did JUSl that. Led by John Btntham and Alan Bruc.kcn: the team finished a strong second 10 Ricks Community College, elinuna.ung the College of Southern Idaho.

The team scores were: Ricks 24, NIC 43, CSI 76, and TVCC was disqualified due 10 a.n iocomple1e team.

The situation llo'3S somewhat 'hairier' for the women. however. Ricks, with its score of 23, captured the ....-omen's title as well, leaving NIC and CSI to fiah1 .11 ou1 for second and lhe trip 10 Palatine, a suburb of Chicago.

Thmgs could not have been clOStt as the teams finished in a deadlock with uknucal IAllics of S4.

Becau.st the NJ CAA runs under rules of the NCAA. which docs not have any prO\ isions for ticbrcaki.na, both teamS will auend the national meet, accordmg to Bundy. lnd1v1dually, Paul Mc:Caffrey of Rides set the pace for the men on the fhe-mile-plus course, breuing the tape 11 the 2S;3S mark. Btntham and Bracken, NIC's bread and bultcr, placed third and fourth respectively 111 26:28 and 26:31.

Other NIC squad members of note Ill the field of 28 include Sean Fox 14th: John Weisel, 18th; Derek Johiuton, 19th; and Paul Glennon 201h: For the women, Kathryn Willliuru of Ricks was 1bc overall winner 'cross· ing the finish Line of the S,000.mtter course at 18:10. For NIC. Kelly \Voods, 19:57, placed fifth, and Karen Johnson, 20:02, was seventh.

NIC's other finishers "'ere Jean Thompson, 12th; Jo Stidham, 14th; Paulo Dean, 16th; and Joan Wilson, 17th.

Bund) lauded in particular the efforu of Thompson and Wilson who. in his opinion ran 1hcir best races of the year. ' The outlook ro.r the rution.al meet h good, according to Bundy, who hopes the ha.men can unpro\C on last year's 13th placing for 1he men and 10th pl11ce finish by the "'·omen. .·'Our goal i.) 10 place both teams in the top 10 of 1he na1ion." Bundy said,"and one or 11110 of the men have a shot at earning All·Amcrican ruuus.' ·
