Well-known journalist blows Hall interview
("-_o-=-~-in_io_n__;p;;;..._ag~e____)
ken all en Like most well-informed Americans, I followed last ~ummen Congressional investigation of the Iran-Contra affair v.ith great tnterest And a lot of questions concern ing the matter remain unaruv.ered. On Sept. 15, a key player in 1his lrangate scam was mter.iC"Aed on national television, and I 1hough1 some of those remaining qu~tioru might be answered. Fawn Hall, personel secretary of Li. Col. Oliver Nonh, was finall) in1ervicwed by a member of the news media. I figured a profes.s1onal journalist. speaking one-to-one with Miss Hall. could get her 10 spill her gu1s on some specifics concerning 1hc scam. I was looking forward 10 seeing Hall interrogated b) a real go-for· 1he-1hroat 1ype of journalis t. I forgot one important de1ail. The inves1iga1ing journalist v.asn't the 60 Minutes type, she was the 20/ 20 type. And she was boring. the ~e as 20/ 20. Barbara Walters really blew it this time. She missed a perfec1 oppor· tunit y to set the record straight. and I thin).. she did it deliberate!) . Any journalist would jump at the chance 10 question a person like Hall, who was directly invo(\red in the media event of the summer OIJ,er North and his gang worked outside the law, )' Cl Barbara Walters never asked Hall if she thought breaking the law was wrong. Walters didn't ask Hall any specific questions concerning the procedures North used. in short, Walters simply didn't press Hali enough. She didn't ask enough important questions. In fact, not counting Hall's current love interes1, Waiters dido'1 seem to press for much of anythi ng. It seems like Barbara Wailers had no intention of asking Fawn Hall anything controversial. Walters simply wanted to do another profile of a modern woman coping wi1h some type of s1ress. To put it simply, another Barbara Wal1ers Special. lns1ead of looking like a journalis1 interviewing a major participant of a national scandal. Walters came off looking like someone's grandmo1her interviewing a high school prom queen. I have nothing against Barbara Walters, at least nothing I can explain. ILjus t seems like the woman acls too nice-not that she is, just that she aces that way. And she certainly makes a lousy actress. Instead of the Barbara Wal1ers Special on ABC. I should have watched "Remo Williams' ' on HBO. On "Remo. " the acting is beuer, and the bad guys get treated like bad guvs. On Barbara's show. e\eryone is 1reated like a good gu)', even if ,he isn't.

Instructor says good-bye Dear Editor: On Oct. 2, 1987, I will be leaving Nonh Idaho College LO pursue other interCSIS in Seaside, Ore. Before I go, however. I'd like to say good-bye to many of the students and employees ac NIC. What a pleasure the past six years have been! I have never worked in a more nunuring or accommodating place. While emplo>·ed at NIC, I was offered the opportunity to continue my education, grow on the job and meet some terrific people. As a former NIC student, former staff member and a present faculty member, I recommend North Idaho College 10 those ~king Lo better themselves. NIC pro\'ides a great educational experience for the "not so tradiuonal" student. I found my
classes to be s timulating and challenging. They were well worth my effort. Good-bye 10 Lhe folks in the follo wing NIC departments: maintenance, grounds, janitorial, support services, regisuar's office, bookstore, student union building, business office, admissions, public relations, i11s1ruc1ional media, continuing educa tion and student services.

Coach's cure gives instructor class-ache Editor's note: While the quotes given ate actual statements from college faculty, the names and representations of the cartoon characters are fictlcious.
Time-out-coaches call it frequentl}. but it's about time instructors take a stand for themselves and demand a time-out of their own in the classroom. A few coaches at the college are taking advantage of certain teachers· inclinations 10 help others. It is one 1hing 10 recommend a student take a particular instructor for a course, but when coaches go our of their way to enroll their lessthan-studious athletes in a class in which the instructor has a reputation for going overboard 10 help others, it's unjust to both the inSLiuctor and other students who a.re in the class to learn.
for learning, and recruit athletes who can benefit the college academically as well as athleticaJly. It sure would make it a lot easier on instructors and the majority of the students (who are here 10 learn.) In I.he long run. coach Smyth would benefit. He could spend lost time concentrating on the team and less time thinking of an eas}' wa}' to ensure his athletes pass their classes.
Jusr HE-LP HIM A urru: err,,HAT'.5 ALL.
Unquestionably, many athletes are in shcool 10 stud>, but equally so, many are here for athletics and just that. One NJC instructor, Tony Jones, admits that a classroom full of uncaring athletes, loaded by coach Terry SmYth, inflicts an unnecessar1 burden on both him and the class. •'I 'II get several of his athletes in my class, and the1 'II huddle up and make a very diflicult class." Jones said. "In a group Lhey become total!} different human beings.'' It changes the whole allitude of the class along v.ith changing the instructor's attitude LOward the cla,;s. according to Jones " I'd much rather have the at1ilUde that 'We're in this together,· but because of thi~ I have lo be strict with the students," he said. "I have to be tough (with the students), and I'm not , ery good at it," he said. Jones is not very good at being tough-that's the exact reason coach Smyth makes certain his athletes are enrolled in the clas~
Athletes must maintain a I. 75 gpa in order 10 be eligible for spans. and coaches mu!>Land should be concerned "ith their grades. Out the reason Smyth is concerned, and the steps he takes 10 ensure his n1hle1es make the grade, are nothing more than selfish statements of his own ~uccess. Rather 1han laying the burden on instructors. so he ma) concentrate just on winning, Smyth should realize that NIC is an insmution-mcant

While lhe pholo of the creature, dubbed by joumalislS as the ''Paid Oreille Paddler," tu med ou I to be a ho:u. McLeod said he c-0n1inued, along with the newly formed Cryp1ozoology Club. to research the lake. The idea 10 form the club struck McLeod in 1983. when Grover Krantz gave a lecture at NJC on the legendary b1gfoo1. " I got the idea, along with Snyder, 10 stan a club on campu~ LO investigate bigfoot reports," McLeod said, "so we suincd the Cryp101.oology Club m late 1983."

According 10 McLeod's book, the purpose of the club is LO im estigate very per· sistent, but often ridiculed reports associated "'i lh bigfoo, and a monster in Pend Oreille Lake. lo 1984, t~ IS-member Cr)'ptoz.oology O ub felt sufficient data had been compiled to undertake field ....-ork around Pend Oreille Lake and search for the clush-e monster. " We bad the use of a 70-foot houseboat up tbm:.'' McLeod said. "We spent three and one-half days on the lake interviewing people, primarily in Hope and Bayview," be added.
Even though the: mystery of the Pend Oreille Paddler seems to be solved for the club. other questions abouc this lake, and other lakes in the: region. were raised. For instance, reporLS of the same people dro"'ning in one lake, and showing up dead in another lake. were discovered, McLeod said.
McLeod said the club spent lbc next two years follo"'i l\8 up lc:a«h. conducting phone UJtervicws and searclting Lhrough old newspapers. "All told, I think we conducted over 100 interviews," McLeod said. Wtule conducting rcsearcll for the book. McLeod said the Cryptoz.oology Club gOl plent)' of media coverage. ·•I was intavit"il·ed by a cw York radio stauon. we made USA Today and se,ernl aruclcs 11,'ere printed in the Spokesman Reveiw." McLeod said. At the end of their research. McLeod, Snyder nnd t.he Cryptoz.oology Club finally reached a conclusion 10 the pcrplc't1ng question at band. "Basically. after roughly three ~cars of Clttcnsi\~ research, 1H" concluded that '11.c don't have much fauh that there i, 3 moru1er m Pend Oreille Lal.c, • \kleod said. "In fact.

James Mcleod In one c:ise. a minister was reported drowned in Hayden Lake. and his frolen body was supposedly discovered noating face down in Pend Oreille Lake, according to McLeod. This suggests 1ha1 1hc lakes in this arcn could be connected through an underground river sytsem. But, according 10 McLeod. geologists hove said that this is impossible. Another mystery surrounding Pend Oreille Im 10 do with the reported depth or the lake, which SCffll:> too hard 10 obtain. According to McLeod. the depth or the lake has ranged from reports of 1.200 feet in 1911. 10 the second deepes1 in I be world at over 4,825 feet in 1983. The depth of the lake remains, for McLeod. the most puzzling mystery of all. A problem that should be solvable, is Ute one mystery that seems to t>e the hardest to nail down, be said. Wh ile some questions have gone unas'o\--etcd, McLeod feels tlhc Pend Oreille m,·cstigauon was 3 positive: experience for the Cryptoloology Club. ''h taught us a great deal about human n;iusre, a great deal about folklore and a great deal about the Sandpoint Chamber of Commc:rcc," McLeod joked. • We ha.d to learn a number of things we weren't fanuliar with,·• Mdcod said. "includmg a lot about archival research, and local history." The club also learned about fisheries . sturgeon, Lhings called thermalclines and temperature 1nvcrs1ons. ''So in a sense II wa~ quite an 1nteres11ng proJCt"t, because you h3d to think in so many different areas." McLeod said.

Remodeled M-A building houses microcomputer labs by Randall Green Through rccmt remodeling changes, students on campus now arc able to find two of the school's
availa blc computer labs undcr one roof. The Apple microcomputer lab was moved from Lhe Sherman School to Lhe \rfcchanical Arts building, ne'(t to the Hewlett Packard terminals. A reorganization of space allowed for staff offices and a new faculty lab to be housed in the MA building. "The coordination of the HP and Apple labs offer a more central location and grcaLcr accessibility for students and faculty." St.cVc Ruppel, director of ~IC computer services, said. Ruppel stressed these labs are open for st udent u~ and arc weU staffed to facilitate scheduling and assistance for individual and class needs. Bob Campbell, in his second year as 1nst.ructional technician. saJd he likes the chan.Re. "I like it because people can sit together; it is more convenient for students and teachers to use, and it's nice being next door to the HP lab," Campbell said. Campbell was quick to point out that the lab staff encourages instructors to bring in classes so more students can be initiat.cd into the world of information processing. " In the future, this couotry will be an information processing power, and I feel it is important to train personnel to operate the machinery,'' he said. Torn Spatola, lab supervisor. manages daily use of the facilities, daily operations scheduling and student work-study staffing. A student who already has used one of the labs will be familiar with a sign-in sheet Spatola designed to accumulate data for statistics regarding lab usage. "(11) monitors the lab's use and is a way for us to keep tobs on the facilities," Spatola said Ali Mcsbah is the Apple/ HP lab's night supervisor. He i~ on duty from noon -8:30 p.m. on weekdays. One of his druly duues is the entry and organ az.ation of the statistical dota accumulated. Mcsboh sn1d he will, compile reports and produce data references useful in dctermirnng future gro¥oth nnd budget proposals. While the Apple/ HP labs hJlve a total 38 tenml'llllls, the vocational dcl)llrtrncnt h~ IS IBM compatible tcr· minols in Hedlund 201 . In ndd1tion, the business dcpartmenl no¥o ha5 13 IDM compatible terminals located in the Adminutration Building. The engineering department in Sc11er Hall has four terminals and, in 1he Scibcrp Building . draftin~ tudcnts use four.

" Nearly 7S computer tcrminals arc availllblc for student use with 13 lab aids staffing them." Spatola said. " Our heaviest user times are a.round mid-term and finals week,·· Campbell said. adding that e\ en with all the machinery a\'ailablc. it gcu prcuy hectic at umcs. According to Campbell. the lab5 arc C3S) 10 use, but students mwt be chcd.ed out by an ill.)lIUCtor or lab aid to use the machines The Apple lab ba.s user cards that may be obtained simple familiarizauon test. This open book tCit is complete "'1th a tutorial that "'all s your fingers step-by-step through tbc pages, he added. "'ll\U assures us that the student knows how to handle the machinery proper!), understands the lab-use rules and kno"'s how to c:h«l out sofrwarc," Campbell said. " Wc I.() to schedule a lot of open I.ab time, "'itb a maximum of wee hour, or class wnc per day," Campbell said by pa.ssmg a
Spatola said an e.~tcnsivc software library is 3\ailablc. and anyone with o user card may check out programs. "Word-processing is the most heavily used sofcwarc we have, but we ha\·e loads of academic study aids for math, science. English. plus data-be.sc and spreadsheet programs for business applications." Spatola said. Bulletin boards ho\'e been installed 10 enhance information exchanges between studentS and the lab stnff. Spatola said, adding that n schedule of planned classes is always l)OStcd on the door of the labs at the beginning of each week, enabling students to plan nround these times. The Apple/ HP labs arc open six days o week, from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-S p.m. Saturday. Campbell noted that IBM and Zenith will be on campus demonstrating their new compters on Sept. 29-30. "Don't let the machinery mumidatc you, it is really easy to use, nnd we really like to help studentS get staned, " he ndded.

Home-cooking an alternative by Teresa Barber Most college .s1udents can relate to wanting 10 lllkc that someone special ou1 10 dinner a1 one time or another. bu1 couldn't because of not having the funds to do it. What can a person do? Fix n nice home<ool.cd mcal. Most of the time. home-cooking can be just as good, and probably more fun-especially if the couple cool.s togerhcr. This way. eating somc1hing likelble a1 an affordable price is possible. Herc is an e~3mple of a sa,on meal on a s1udcn1 's budge1. including some kind of mea1. scuffing or pot:uocs. a vegetable and a bottlc of wine. To prepare lhis meal, s1ar1 wuh two cormsh game hens.

mix such as Stoni Top. or something similar. If poLatocs arc preferred, take rwo or 1hrce medium size potatoes, pcc) and slice them into one inch cubes. and drop in10 boiling water. Make sure the potatoes arc comple1ely co,ered v.ith water. Boil until the pota1oes arc easily punctured v.i lh a knife. The nut step is to heat a vegC'tablc on the sto,¡e. Com or baby peas arc L"O possible choices. By now. the bird should be abou1 read} . To check 10 sec if it is done, cur 1he skin along the thigh. If the juice runs clear irs done. If a liule darl, lea\ e in lhe O\'en for abou1 10 minutes longer. At 1he same time the meal is being prepared, an inexpensive bottle of wine should be chilling. To complete the dinner, scne a dessert almost everyone likes. Put a hot brownie in a deep dish and cover with \'anilla ice cream. rhea smolher with bot chocola1e syrup. This is just one or many ideas for a greaL. yet ine,pcnsi,c dinner for roUcge studcnt).
Rather than turning into a vegetable, wearing our lhe remo1c control or caung tuna fish for lhe fif1h time this week , visit either Cricket's, Hudson's or Heath.cliff's and enjoy the unique kind of service 1ha1 only they can share.
