Absence of NI C's logo on new bus riles Sausser

by Ri11 Holllogswortb AJrhough NJC's new 1973 overland coach is no-.• on line and ready to roll. the cost ~r mile and the paint job were still issues at the NlC Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 21.

Board member Don Sausser asked the board 10 reconsider il5 earlier decision 10 paint just the cardinal on the outside of the bus.

Sausser said that the cardinal is repr~tative of NI C's arhleuc program and that since the bus was purchased 10 be used b>· all NIC departments that NIC's official logo should be included on the side of Lhe bus.

Sausser subm itted three drawings of the bus. The first included just the cardinal. the second just the logo and the third combined the two, with the logo displayed near lhc front of the bus and the cardinal near the rear. "'(his is not just athletics," Sausser said as he pointed 10 a stack of stationery. the NIC Sentinel, brochures and advertisements that all displayed the trees and lake that :ire symbolic of Coeur d' Alene and NIC, "this is our logo. We fell ii was very attractive to combine lhc two."

Board Chairman Dr. James Barton

said that he voted for just the cardinal because he liked it better. Robert Ely said that he sho-.ed the drav. ings 10 several people and that everyone prefer· red I he cardinal.

Trustee Be"cri)' Bemis supported Sausser's argument saying that since the board approved I he official logo that they should use it.

However, rhe board refused 10 take another ,·ote on their decision. and instead they honored Sausscr's rCQuest that he and Ely be appointed 10 continue rhe discussion as a comrni11ee in an cf. fort to resolve the issue.

In furth er disc~ion of the bw, Michael Bundy, president of 1he facuJ. 1y association asked how the pric~ of driVJng the bus had reached S1.70 per mile. Rolly Jurgert\, dean of adminislration, replied 1ha1 the price included the cost of amortizing the bus purchase.

Ely said 1ha1 he did not feel that the amortization of the bus should be included in the cost per mile that depanments have 10 budget 10 use the bus because the vans can be used for about 20 cents per mile, and the high cost of using the bus would discourage its use and thereby decrease the safety factor,

v. h1ch was a major considera11on when the board 3pproved the bus purchase.

Jurgens said that he v.ould prepare ne-. figures The board also decided 10 call for prop0sals from insurance companies after Rich Bocrslllll, representative of Continental "lational American, said that 'IIC's currcot p01icy e'<p1res July, I. 1985.

Boenma said that his company paid out S4.94 in claims for e,Cf) SI the) collected from NIC in premiums and 1ha1 1he loss rate was going 10 improve because of the support his company is gelling from NlC and especially from Jurgens.

"It has 10 improve,'' Boersma said.

He said that his company has paid our $175,000 and is holding an additional SI00.000 in reserves as a result of claims stemming from the van accident 1ha1 occurred in Feb. 1984.

He 11Iso told the board that his company is holding an additional S600.000 in reserve 10 cover 1wo potential claims

resulting from 1-.0 acts of omission lav.,uits pending against the college.

He said 1ha1 although the Board of Education liability policy, which insures against acts of omission and expires 10 December 1986. has alv.ays been -.n11en on a three-year prtpaymem basis. it will probably be ,. ri11en on an annual basis in the future because of the pending

SUIIS,

And the board, at NIC President Schuler·s recommendation, refused 10 appro,e 1hce.~pendi1ure of SIOl ,316 10 ul)(bte its telephone system.

Schuler said that the cost would have to be incl uded io the fiscal year beginning July I. but that he was reluctant 10 pay for the monthly cost of the nev. system during the summer.

And Schuler told 1he board that lhc new library/compu1er science building will be three stories high bur that the library portion will be two stories. He said lhat an additional story can be added 10 the library at a later date.

Handicapped posters

NIC students win art contest Two NIC artists placed in a s1a1e-v.;de poster contest sponsored by 1he Governor's Commiuce on Employment of the Handicapped.

According 10 Janet Wright, executive direc1or of competition, Rick Kuebler cap1ured nm place in the compcriuoa v. bile Larry Wilburn placed fourth. The two sophomore students are currently enrolled at NIC and received instruction from an Instructor Joe Jonas.

Wright added tha1 booornble mentions from NIC include Ke,,in Fleming. Gwen Sego and Darr}I Wirsclung.

"Considering thltt SI studenl5 participated in the state contest." Wright said. "this is... a direct rcnectioa oa the teacher's ability 10 inspire and instruct properly."

A governor's comminee awards luncheon will be held April 12 in Boise. which Jonas has been invited 10 attend.

~ Divorce robs from youth dan breeden

Many years ago wben commercials were first bemg aired which s1a1ed that alcoholism was a disease, I was astounded. The people who ,, ere pulling ou1 those advenisements were full of bull. and I knew it.

Disease isn't somctlung that you give 10 yourself-alcoholism is.

But if people were willing to believe that crock. then fmc. Let them.

However, what arc these same people going 10 bclie\:e "hen I mentton another disease. A disease which has nov. reached epidemic proportions and infects over 50 percent of 1~ American population-far gmiter lhan the 28 percent that are affiicted with alcoholism.

What disease, you ask, can be not only affecting but nourishing on half of the known people in this grea1 United States?

Divorce!

Oh, that 's no big deal, you laugh. At least people aren ·1 d)ing from it.

The hell they're not!

Last summer I had the opportunity to work for two "eeks as a counselor at a camp for juvenile delinquentS. There were sbt boys lTl my cabin, and the whole camp consisted of 32 kids-both male and female.

To my knowledge, each and eve1: kid in that camp had two things in common- each had been into some sort of trouble with the la". and each had come from a broken home.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is a definite link. These children absolutely craved attention. All they wanted was someo~ 10 lo,·c themsomeone 10 know they existed and were wonhy of being loved.

Part of me died that summer, and I know I wasn't alone.

I wanted so hard to belic,•e that every child growi ng up in this crazy, mixed-up world had the same opportunities that I had had. I wanted to believe that the people living in this countn weren't as bad off as all the mass media were saying they were.

I wanted to believe that kids still new kites on windy days, rode bikes with their friends. took walks with their dads and helped their mothers bake cookies.

But last summer, rhese boys taught me differently. And that part of me died .

At night. with the cabin lights off, while the seven of us lay there in our bunks. I would listen as these six. eleven- and twelve-year-old boys told horror stories about their lives at home.

The figh ts between their mom and dad, the beatings, the screaming, the ultimate divorce, the rejection by step-parents, tbe abuse when their mom or dad. or step-mom or dad came home from drinking and didn't like what he/ she saw.

There were stories about being locked in their bedrooms for cwo to ten hours at a time while the adult slept it off.

My God! These are just kids. When my friends and I were their age, we told stories about going bunting and fishing with our dads or di5cussed who would win the World Series.

And the stories these kids told were not lies!

These were not tall tales to impress friends. Impression stories were of ho" much money they had made from selling stolen stereos or ho" many cars they had ripped off or how many nights the)· had spent in jail.

TheSt kids bnigged about accomplishments, not bruises and bloody noses ...and beatings from parents.

That killed me. And it killed a part of them as well.

Granted, not everyone who comes from a broken home will curn out to be a criminal-in fact some may e,·en become stronger individuals because of it.

Ho"cver. it's sad to think that the majority of these kids will be making license plates at some time in their li,es just because momm} and daddy couldn't work things out-and the ones who pay the biggest price often are 1h: ones who can't even speak for themselves.

There is 111 least one sin in this world that is far worse than murder, and that is robbery. h's robbing joy; it's robbing hope; it's robbing love. h's robbing childhood ... from those who wam so bad 10 have it.

Valentine's band needed beat; activity director needs bruised Congratulations men and women Cards who pulled off victories against the College of Southern Idaho on Feb. 15 .

Condolences to the activities director and his staff who put together the dance following the victorious roundball games.

The decorations were great. The rcfrC$hments were fine. The crowd "as mediocre. But the band ... that band was something else. Those arc the nicest words the old Websters ha for describing such a fiasco.

The band . Rare Form. is aptly named and was just in such a state.

To most. it couldn't have carried a toe-tapping tune in a dump truck.

There have been bands that could butcher songs before, but nothing quite like these mincemeat makers.

It ·s funny how this punk roc k/ new wave, bouom-of-1he-barrel band got chosen 10 play at a school fu nction for a college whose punk rock followers make up maybe 3 percent of the student population-and 90 percent o f them didn't even bother to auend.

The ASN IC board, under the direction o f ASN IC Activities Director Dennis Gorringe appropriated $225 on a band that should have paid the college twice that amount j ust for the opportunity LO play.

Gorringe said that two or three of the band members are s1ude111s auending NIC and that before hiring them he "went out and heard them play at a house on Sherman."

II certainly sounds like the criteria for bands has some very rigid restrictions and an elaborate screening process.

And, just for the record, one of the band members has the same last name as Gorringe's assistant activities director Denise Litalien; however, Gorringe said the band was booked before his assistant was hired.

If the board was trying 10 save the student body money by hiring a cheap band, then please don't continue LO do the students of NIC any more favors. Think quality not quantity.

Feminist writer objects to humor, stereotyping Dear Editor: My leuer is not attacking your column "Nipping Sexism in the Buns," for if I understand your humor correctly, you are making a point that as a feminist, I support wholehcar1edly-all people should be judged by their human identity and not by an identity that is exclusively sexual.

It is actually your use, or rather misuse, of humor that concerns me. for rather than using your skills to develop the idea of a human idenutY for !10th sexes, you have created a new derogatory stereotype for the new young woman-the sex-starved bar-lounger, panting eagerly at the sight of apparcncly any man.

Before feminism, only men were sanctioned 10 pursue partners.

Feminism rejected that sexual pattern, in which women were passive objcclS, without the power of choice.

In the past, women were taught 10 resist the impulse to pursue a man.

Now "e find ourselves tr)ing to become more forthright. In pan, lhis is because we are learning we have the right to ask for what \I.C wam, and also because we have learned that lea\ing pursuit 10 men leads nght back to the kind of inegaliwian relationships many of us now reject.

Today women enJoy a ne\l. freedom-we can go to a bar unescorted, approach a man and ask him to dance, and even act "unladylike!" Of course, we still risk the old acrusation which puts the blame on us-that women who arc raped asked for it. However, basically, by us111g some caution, we have a chance 10 be more open a.nd forthright, for we arc, ind~. more liberated.

Let's paint the real picture of young women today, Dan, and still make your poim. You may find their freedom disconcerung, but don't accuse girls who just Like 10 b.avc fun

(___ pr_ei_iss_e_th_ic_l_ ___,) Reporters rocked by armchair editing Render) of newspapers sometimes believe that they know inherently what a newspaper should include or omit and how each story should be covered.

For example, the last issue of the Sentinel published an article that some readers thought presented n derogatory portrait of mothers who return 10 college.

A few of these readers rightfully voiced their views when they expres~ed angry responses about the content, but some criticized the editors of a failure m 1he1r duties. The Sentinel is a writing laboratory for students turning to be editors and reporters, and when these readers told the student editors how to do their jobs, they demonstrated a quickness of judgment and a failure to research adequately (the writer was a 34-year-old mother).

But in spite of such armchair editing, no matter how well-intentioned, SIU¡ deni journalists must continue 10 learn their craft-but they will probably hope that readers who criticize ethics and news values have taken journalism classes and remember the editors are students, not pros.

Joking will never cure the pain of sexism These last few years, I have been alone. Not single, as a man might be in the same circumstance, but alone, \,uJnerable and unprotectedwith three daughters to care for.

Since I was. for most of my life, protected by either my husband or my father, my aloneness has not always been easy, but adjusting to my new lifestyle has, at times. given me feelings of great pride.

I have learned, over these years, that ooe of the ways to be brave is 10 act bra,,e. And so last summer, while the girls and I prepared for our first camping trip alone, I was acting braver than I felt.

My mother did little to bolster my courage. "lf you take those girls up in the mountains and sleep in a tent alone," my mother said, "you are just asking for trouble."

I laughed when I told her that I would take along her Smith and Wesson revolver for protection if it would make her feel better, but inside I thought, "Maybe we should stay home."

The kids were great. They cheered me when we arrived. "Mom." KeUy said. ''if l 'm ever divorced, I'm taking my kids camping just like you do."

We pitched the tent. enjoyed dinner, and I was glad we were there until the mao walked into camp. " I couldn't help noticing," be said, "that you aod the girls are camped here alone." " Hold it," I said. ''What do you want?"

He put out his band. "My name's Charlie," be said. "I'm camped across the creek."

"We do not wam any visitors in this camp," I said, and I stared at him unlit he put down his hand and turned 10 leave.

I was awake all that nigbL He did not come back to rape us or to kill us, but be never came back to offer his friendship either. I am still ashamed of my fear, but I am also angry at requiring the protection that has made me afraid.

Alchougb pages and pages of newsprint were devoted to the coverage of Kevin Coe's retrial, ooe particular story caught my aucotion. That article covered an interview with Bill, identified only as the husband of a rape victim who testified against Coe at bis retrial.

â&#x20AC;˘ rita

hollingsworth BiJI told the reporter that since the rape, his life has never been the same. He said that on the day his first child, a daughter, was born he thought, "Oh my god, I've got another female 10 protect."

In "Against Our Will" Susan Brownmiller wrote that rape "is a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear.'' According to an article in The Spokesman-Review on Jan. 13, her thesis, that male dominance is ensured because the fear of rape forces women to rely on meo for protection, "became ooe of the most critical ideas in the movement for women's independence."

The article also quotes the author of "Men and Rape" as saying that in order for things lo change, men must take responsibility and put pressure on other men to stop harassing and intimidating women. He said that "peer pressure among men is the most importanl thing" that will make men stop beating and raping women.

And tbal is why I believe that sexism is never funny. When column.isl Dan Breeden wrote that he knows fear, that he has nightmares of women tackling and molesting him, his attempt at humor is not only easily regarded as a put down to all women who have become independent, ii can also be imerpreted as a call for all men to continue the harassmem and intimidation of all women. lo his anicle, Breeden asked "what's a man to do?" when confronted by "tons of affection starVed women" who are out looking for just ''one thing." Breeden decided 10 use the "direct approach," a verbal put down.

But other meo may decide 10 react in a different way when they are confronted with women who think they are "just asking for it.'' And 1be fear-protection-dominance cycle that bas limited the freedom of both men and women wiU continue.

(__m_o_r_e_o_~_in_io_n__) Right-to-lifers influence Idaho Legislature Chairmen of special interest groups are not elected by the voters; legislators are. But when considering the "do pass" recommendation of House Bill 120, which would shield doctors from "wrongful birth" malpractice lawsujts, Idaho voters rrugh1 legitimately question just who is running the State House.

Since the motion 10 recommend the bill's passage, proposed by Idaho Right 10 Life lobbyists, met "with no objection, no discussion and no call for testimony," it was passed through a House commiuee "with no dissenters,·• according to The Spokesman-Review.

Abortion is not the issue in HB 120. The unrestricted right 10 an abortion in the first trimester and funj1ed intervention in the second trimester has been guaranteed by the Supreme Court.

The issues that should have been considered by the House committee are whether or not a doctor has a medical responsibility to order diagnos1ic tests that will determine if a fetus will be born handicapped, and if he can be held legally accountable by the parents of a handicapped infant if he neglects to do so. " Wrongful birth" lawsuits are usually filed because a doctor failed to order prenatal tests and a child, which the parents mafotain they would have chosen to abort, is born.

Pro-life advocates insist Lhat every fetus has a right 10 life and that " wrongful birth" lawsuits force physicians 10 order tests that lead 10 increased numbers of abortions.

And they may be right. Genetic errors do occur. Handkapped fetuses can be identified, and under the law, they may be aborted.

While there is no doubt that si;ecial interest groups have a constitutional right to work to innuence legislation, in this instance; legislators have an obligation to remember that the the perspective of the antiabortion lobbyists is limited to a "no compromise" elimination of all abonions.

Theodore J. Lowi, thought 10 have wri11en 1he most comprehensive criticism of interest groups, said that the "pulling and hauling among competing interest" does not necessarily result in policies 1hat are adequate 10 meet the social and political problems facing the Unjted States.

He said that interest group pluralism has resulted in "impotent govern-

Writer says

NIC Bookstore needs new chapter Dear Editor: I personally feel 1he NIC bookstore should change some of their policies in regards 10 selling textboob.

We, as s1udcn1s, are expected 10 pay lop dollars for our textbooks and expected 10 sell our books back at a fraction of what we paid for them, regardless of what condition the books arc in.

But what really irritates me is that after spending $60 for certain books, I come 10 find out al the end of the semester that I cannot sell chcse books back 10 the bookstore because they will noc be used the following semester. So here I am out S60 and sruc~ with books I'll never use again.

I, like many other fellow students.

count on selling back my books so as to be able 10 buy books for the following semester.

II seems 10 me that the best wa) 10 resolve this problem is by renting textbooks, especially if they arc textbooks that no one is ccnain will be used again. There really is no reason why we as srudrnts on n.xed incomes should havl' 10 take rotaJ losses on the money we spend for books and then be left with books that will never be used again in our lifetime.

This is a vcrv serious matter and should bl' looked into and resolved.

mem" that can "neirher plan nor achieve justice."

Linda Bird Francke. who elected to have an abortion (no1 because of birth defects) said, "ii takes courage 10 take the life of someone else in your own hands, and even more courage 10 assume responsibility for your own."

If the Idaho House and Senate do not have the courage, the time or adequate information and education 10 give full consideration to the issue at hand, they should not pass HB 120.

It appears that the Idaho Legislature is so wrapped up in politics, that it is best to leave the weighty issues 10 the judges and the courts.

Choosing a career Guest Column

by Gilt)· Corrmao Career Counsdor " What do you want to be when you grow up?" A good question asked nearly all of w on our road to adulthood. The question rdcrs. o( course. 10 the career role we wish 10 assume upoo entering the work world. A.5 children we conjured up ans,,.ers based on somelhing we h.ad seen on television: what Mom, Dad or Uncle John did; or an obscure connection 10 something we enjoyed. ''I want LO be a jct pilot like in 'Star Wars."' "I want to work with computers like Aunt Beth docs." "I waot 10 be an architect becnuse I like to build things."

Unfortunatd) ,.btn we grtw up and faced the real dilemma of finding a career. v.e used primarily the same approach. "t want to be a policeman because 11 looks so exciting." "I am going to 1cach b«awe I really Liked my high school English teacher." "I am interested in accounting because I enjoyed my class in bookkcqung." These arc rarely good foundations for initiating a career, but we continue to make this important life decision based on information that is wocrully inadequate.

'I\ e guess about this and react to general feelings about that. We sample different career directions by pursing a rc!Jued degree or obtaining a related job.

We become confused and fruslratcd when the experience reveals an inappropriate aspect of that area. We 1t-cvaluatc with equally inadequate information and try another direction. Continuing this process. we hope 10 discover a satisfying career, but frequently .,.., seule for less.

Ocusloo.ally this form of carCCI hunting h3S a happy ending, but it can lllke a long time and is usually acetnted 'llith disappointments and self-doubts.

Millions of people chart such cour= for themselves but never connect with a catCCI t.lmt IS personally fulfilling. It is said that 80 percent of the workers in the United States arc "under-developed.·• working under their potential or in areas they arc not interested in. Considering all the people who live for weekends and vacatJons, thu could easily be accurate.

With tKb disappolallna rc-4lrKtioa of our career bunt, we have wished for an C35icr, more an.a.in approach than one we were using. Cenainly most importaot decisions arc seldom simple, but career decision making can be considenbly more effiaent and have more certainty of desired results than the primiuvc approadt v.e tia,e commonly wed. It requires obtaining in-depth information, information about personal preferences and information about a"aila.blc career options. An 1dc:ll job might well cust for each of us. but without the knowledge of il.5 existence. it is impossible to use u as an objective.

Htlp in obta.laiag in!onmlloa is available: here at NJC. Srudent Services on 1he second noor of the SUB provides testing to bener understand personal preferences and a carec-r CClllcr for exploring thousands of career opportunities.

Good career decision making, bowc:vc:r, requires an .wc:rtivc postur:. Needed information does not arrive on it.s own; it has to be pursued. If you are not in an)' hurry 10 find a career and do not mind suong uncertainties. lh~n the: guess and feel approach might be right for you. However. if becomin~ .belier informed makes difficult dcruions more comfortable for you, then visn Student Services and sc:c bo11, much information is availab)c: just for the: askjng.

( news analysis J Veto-proof power taking toll on Legislature

by Rkld Jobo Kast

It's migraine-headache season for many Idaho legislators, time to butt heads with educational fundding, maybe grab a sandwich and cup of corfec and gel out of town.

And in a year which finds the Republican GOP holding all Lhe trump cards in its veto-proof legislau,e hand, those headaches arc accompanied by faugue and frustration for a least two North Idaho Democratic scnalors.

Sen. Mary Lou Recd, D-CDA. in a telephone interview last week. said 1ha1 part or that fatigue and frustration comes from long hours spent trying to find ways to raise more money for education and dealing ,.;,h a veto-proof GOP. Rttd said Lbc most obvious revenue-raising measure being looked at is 10 begin collecting corporation taxes on a quancrly basis. AnoLher avenue being considered is 10 change the 50/ 50 lnitiaLive for property owners 10 a 25125 Initiative.

Under the voter-approved 50150 Initiative, property owners pay taxes on 50 percent of Lhe assessed ,,alue of the propeny. Under a 25/25 Initiative. property owners would have 10 pay taxes on 75 percent of the assessed value-an increase or SO percent in property taxes.

Reed said she is firmly against this measure.

"It's just another Band-Aid ·scratch and patch' job,'' she said. "Every year we are scrambling to gel money. " I would like to sec a comprehensive 13.'< reform ,

one 1ba1 looks more in10 the future. " The Coeur d' Alene senator said that while educuuon probably won'l get "'hal was lobbied for, it does look like a c:arecr-ladder program will be unplcmcnted.

She said that it loob like Lhe session will be over around mid-March and that she is already feeling the faugue set in. The ftrsl-lcrm sen.nor \aid the vetoproof GOP really affected lhe atmosphere of the session.

Sen. \'trn Lannon, D·Pinehurst. couldn' t agree more.

Lannon represents ,oung distrtclS I. 2 and 3 as a "Ootcrial'' senator elcet.ed under the ocv. reapporuonment Plan 148, which was implemented in 1984.

The North Idaho logger said that Lhc \Clo-proof GOP legislature made it clear from lhe bcgmn111g lhal the 1empo of lhis session "'ould be conuolled b) the GO P. He added lhat the) had already promised there would be oo more money nused 10 support educauon for Fiscal-Year 1986.

vo1m' backs in this state, I want to make sure that everybody is paying their share."

Lannon agrees with Reed's views toward ,.;hat she calls another "~crotch and patch" job on education.

He said Idaho is in nttd of n major ta.~ reform 10 eli min:11e the tax.ing inequi1ics and provide for future growlh in education as wcU as several 01her mnjor conCrnlS facing the s1:11e's lawmakers.

But. Lannon uld, 1hc Republican< want to remember that decisions made now could come 10 haunt 1hcm in the next elc.:uon.

It docs s«m to be the veto-proof GOP's year for having 1hings it~ way . Republicans have already managed 10 push through legislo1ion thnt has failed in previous yean bec011se of the weight behind the go,ernor's vc10 )lamp.

Ocspue being labeled "union bus1crs," the GOP has pas.scd legislation malong ldoho o "right· to-work \late." and has already managed 10 repeal 1hc prevail· mg wage language, o move the GOP claim~ will provide more Jobs and a more stable economy in Idaho.

Bui many Democrats and uni on leaders insist 1ha1 these measures will only insure 1hu1 Idaho's grow1h will be backwards and that salaries could drop dramatical ly under this legislation.

With all of lhat veto-proof power working against them. 1he Democratic minority might lib well pack a lunch and fiUup Lhe gas tank- with L'<fuca11on the only budgetary problem left 10 decide, you can 1)(1 It won '1 take long.

That promise prompted Lannon lo ,01e in favor of the St3te's Joint Fi03ncc and Appropriation's (JFAC) S298 million package for public s.:hools. He said he addressed lhc Senate and cmphasized lhat his vo1e was a political stalcment 10 the GOP. ' 'Damo it. ~c need more monc) ," Lannon larnen1ed.

From domestic violence

Women have it tough in Idaho Idaho la"' concerning domestic violence is "pre11y lame at this point," said a1torncy Jana)• Haas Feb. 21 a1 a National Organization for Women open forum.

Haas said 1ha1 while victims in Washington and Oregon can go 10 lhc courthouse and simply file for a protective restraining order. in Idaho the victim must rclain a private attorney by paying up front, and even then she bas no assurance of getting pro1cc1ion.

Bever!)• C3vanaugh, director of Alternatives 10 Domestic Voilcncc (ADV) said that 4,000 women each year arc bea1en 10 death. 6 million women are battered every year and lhat violence is the number one cause of injuries 10 women.

Lois Jansen. the chairperson or a local ADV core group. related her experience as an advocate for Joanne Regan, who received a lhree-year suspended scnlence for killing her abusive boyfriend, and c,;prcssed the need for a female public defender and criminal court judge.

Nancy Njclde, from the Governor's Council on Domestic Violence. said that last year in Idaho, 1he crisis line received 924 calls related to domestic violence and that shelter centers cared for 79 women and 94 children.

Mike Mosier, from the Coeur d 'Alene Police Department, sa.id thai officiers are reluctant 10 milke arrests in domestic violence calls because the victim is usually unwilling to prosecute.

(___a_r_ts_l_e_n_te_r_ta_i_n_m_e_n_t__J Kelly Hughes-Moving up in down-home style In a generation f15hing for popular mll$ical entertainment, there arc those who believe new wave, rock 'n' roll or heavy metal is Lhe prized caLch. Bul lhcrc seems 10 be anoLher anraclion at Stateline which is luring many NIC studenlS who find Lhemsclvcs "hooked on country music."

Kelly's is a country-western nightclub. It's not just anoLhcr bar, as owner-<:ntertainer Kelly Hughes will proudly tell you, .. We entertain people and have a real good time doing ii. " I've played in a lot of different places with a lot of different musicians. I learned a whole lot of things back then and I lry to offer the 'best of the best' at my place."

He said he loves 10 see people who work hard and/or go to school all week come out, cut loose and have a good time.

As soon as patrons enter Kelly's, they notice a strong sense: of loyalty as Hughes' banenders, secu rity and personal manager are all past "high school buddies.''

"We're one big family,·· Hughes smiled. "Tha1's why ii all works so well."

Hughes say&1h01 he would like to become a well-known entcr1alner in the Northwest and possibly tslllblish a Kelly's circuit.

He openly admits that his nighlclub 1-5 promo1ing his own mu5ical career. but Nashville isn't among his immediate goals.

"I'm not into all that star s1uff," he laughed. " If I can get my truck and house pa)•mc:nLs made, pay my other bills and you give me a country song to sing, I 'II be happy with my life."

Enthusiasm seems to be a stronghold for Hughes' stage show. Hand clopping, foot stomping and the honest feeling of a down-home good time draws the crowd and performers together " ith a Lrue magnet ism.

Rccogni.zing the direction he wanted to take with his life was easy for the 22-year-old, who began performing professionally at age 14 for SIS a rught. but as he says, "I've had more tough goes than most people have in a lifetime.''

'Night Music' under way; technical production rolls

by Rieb H:dmann

Theater i1 more than just acting on stage.

In NI C's spring play ''A L11tlc Night 'vlusic," there are 850 square yards of muslin and an unmeasurable amount of pamt used for iust pan of the stage scenery. acoording to technical director Les Baird. Thi\ adds up 10 a good deal more than people pretending 10 be someone in front of an audience Baird explained that the play covered every land or uagc carpentry one could imagine.

"We got everything in here from nats, platforms, bed1. steps, cars. boxscats. C'CD a statue,·• he said.

Baird said that the scenery builders uy to keep the play •uuaUy SIDlplc so that the story and music can speak for themsel\'cs. ' 'It's not a play that you want to clutter up with 100 much design," be said.

This simple seuing. however, does rcqu1re " a lot or work that a lot or people taJ..e for granted when the)' see the play finally on stage," Baird said.

He said that from now to the lime of the first cun.am call the produruon of the scenario will be almost a nine-to-five job for all 12 people invol,·ed in it The play itself. according 10 director Bob Moe. is a "story of life. a pla) about the young. foolish and the very old." Moc said that the play is being done differently than the Broadway production.

Scenically, the play is done as a memory play, Baird said. In order to ach1e• e this effect, a slide projector and six slides will also be used in the performance.

"It's a memory play,'' Baird said. " It's about people remembering their past. h shows how they deal with how they felt about each other m the past."

It is more than just a two-hour escape. explained Moe. " It tells about life."

"A Little Night Music" will be performed Mnrcb IS, 16. 21 , 22 and 23. The curtain will rise at 8 p.m. each night in the Communication-Arts Auditorium.

BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL?

Fun is still free, folks It's become standard to equate the term ··ans and emertain.men1" with spending money and sitting in a theater or gallery watching some sort of perfonnance or display.

I've never really understood why because you can sec a lot of aJI and plenty of entertainment just walking around town or sitting in a classroom or living room.

For entertainment, lry going back 10 your old high school and sitting in on a sophomore study hall. Watching the instructors climb the walls is better than seeing the monkeys at the zoo because the monkeys don' t curse under their breath. They don't cry either.

If you like art, take a walk in the mountains. There's artwork enough there to please anybody, and it's been done by the greatest anist of them all. And there's no admission price to the world's largest combination art gallery and chapel.

Walch a pair of five-year-olds trying 10 give a puppy a bath, or building a snowman. Instant laughter and enjoyment, and it doesn't hun anybody or cause any damage.

For sheer amusement, watching novice skaters or skiers ranks pretty high on the laugh list. Their look of desperate fear combined with the " l am having fun" expression would pull laughs in a mausoleum. And the more experienced practitioners of these spcrts are often artful in their own right.

Nobody says that we have to dress up and shell out our hard-ea.med clams just to have a plain ol' good time. There's a whole world out there if we'd just learn to look up from the grindstone or down from the ivory tower now and again. I'm getting kind of sick of people telling me that they can't afford 10 appreciate the arts or to emertaio themselves anymore. I remember being Oat busted all summer long and still enjoying just as much of the entertainment world as the guy next door who drove the Mercedes.

Arts and entertainmenl don't go beyond the grasp of anybody. You just goua know where to look.

'Killing Fields' unforgettable b1 Ku rtJs ffall

The majority of the American people don't seem 10 truly understand what hap· pened in the country of Cambodia in the tail~nd years of the Vietnam conflict. The movie ' 'The Killing Fidds" is an abrupt awakening 10 what went on behind t.be scenes of both the American and Communist (Khmer Rouge) combat front.s.

Sydney Schanberg, played by Sam Watcster, is an American foreign corrcspon· dent for the New York Times who arrives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, in 1973. Dith Pran, played by Dr. Haing S Ngor. is Schanberg's Cambodian assistant and translator.

At this point, the United States bas already invaded Cambodia, and has been carrying on some illegal bombing of the country 10 destroy Khmer Rouge guerrilla outposis-but many of the Cambodian casualties are civilians.

Schanberg. in an effort to fully cover the story on hand, fim enters forbidden territory to gain information on the bombing and then stays in Phnom Penh with other journalists when aU Americans and other embassy officials are evacuated because of the advancing Khmer Rouge forces. Pran ships his family out and stays also.

This film is startlingly graphic, pulling none of the inevitable punches of war. II illustrates dearly the American coverup of the Cambodian bombings and follows the brutality of the Communist Khmer Rouge takeover with grim attention 10 detail.

It is a shocker which reveals the truth behind the facade of war w often seen m movies.

When Schanberg and the other journalists are evacuated, Pran is forced to stay behind in Cambodia. The film follows Pran's experiences at the hands of the brutal. brain-washing Khmer Rouge, contrasting this with Schanberg's aucmpt to locate Pran, earned out from a New York desk.

Both leading actors play admirable roles, illustrating to perfection the frustration. pain and fear of peaceful men in a war-tom country. Roland Jaffec's directing is sk.J ll ruJ and apt, and Warner Bros. produced a potential blockbuster which well deserves the acclaim and nominations it has earned. ··The Killing Fields" is easily one of the best films of the year. and one of the few movies that ii well worth the price of admission. It is an ei1perience !hat lea\es one with a new Insight into the complexities of I.be Cambodian issue and a di fferent view of the aciions of bo1h the United States and the Khmer Rouge in the conluct.

h can easily be said that the NIC mat men totally annihilated their opponents during lhe Feb. 14-IS regional competition in Christianson Gymnasim.

The Cards are waltzing their way into the national 1ournament this weekend in Glen Ellyn, 111. They boast nine regional champs and one ~econd-placc finish Freshman Torey McCully. with an overall season record of29-3, ravaged his opponents as he cap1urcd the Outstanding Wrestler award in the tourney.

NIC secured a tot.al of 173 team points on the way to grabbing the first-place win. The Cards knocked orr Clackamas Community College, which placed second with 69. Colorado Norhtwcs1. 52, Ricks College, 4S.5 and B1g Bend with 13.

Cardinal champions competing in the national tournament arc Mark Warnken, 118

lbs., Torey McCully, 126 lbs., Wayne Sharp, 142 lbs .• Bryce Hall, 150 lbs., Kevin Frame, 158 lbs.. John Fredrickson. 167 lbs., Ken Rucker, 1n lbs., Dan Brandes, 190 lbs. and heavyweiibt Wayde Stover.

Jeff Semrad. \\Test ling at 134, nailed down a second-place finish for the Cardinals.

The Cards have a lot of character as well as depth, according to freshman Semrad.

"Everyone was \\inning." Semrad said about the tournament. "I was celebrating for everyone else and a little nervous. but I knew I "ould do well wuh them behind

me.··

According 10 Coach John Owen. he is very confident the team will do \\ell during the national compeuuon. ''Nobody can expt.-ct to \\in 26 of 17 matches," Owen said. "\\ e'\e got a real balance and everyone contributes. ''

He added that the competition will be t0ugh because of the uncommon title contenders. and he said that there will be a much tougher team race, a factor which should help 10 enhance NIC's strength.

"A little birdie tells me that those guys aren't that dang tough," Owen said. " If we can wrestle up to our maximum potential. we can wipe them out."

The Cardinals have placed in the top six in the national tournament 10 times out of 14 tries. This began back in 1972 when the team placed fifth and includes first place finishes in 1974, 1975, 1978 and ~982.

Region 18 ha\ belonged 10 NIC for a number of years with the Cards capturing the regional 1i1le 12 of the pasl 1-l years.

IC has al,o produced 11 national champions and 46 All-American wre)Jlc:r) since: 1971.

IC's record of 75 consecu1ive dual-meet wins. which was cut off earlier this season, was the third long~t winning streak of any college wrestling program in the nati?n· Last season the Cards placed second m the nation and got national titles from Tom Phclon and Sieve Kluver.

Preliminary results from lhc nation_al tournament were unavailable at press umc.

iht their suppon during the CSI g11me Feb. IS.

Boxers take it in the shorts; changes needed Box.ing, pugilism, lhc manly art of self defense, wha1cver you call it it is a sport that has come under fire recently because of the number of deaths and debilitating injuries that have sprung up in recent times.

While some people may consider boxing a sport, 1call it a barbaric spectacle that ranks right down there with the Romans throwing the Christians 10 the lions.

But what can be done? Ban it all together? That move has already been taken in Sweden and orway without their civilizations falling apart, and England and Canada are giving II some serious consideration.

But 1 don't think that will ever happen here in the good old U.S. of A. The public has 100 much "blood lust" 10 let one of their favorite pastimes be abolished.

But an even stronger influence in keeping boxing alive is the almighcy dollar. Managers and promoters have 100 much at stake to let their meal ticket b~ cu1 off. Face it, boxing is maimained "ith the best interests of the manager and promoter in mind, not those of the fighters themselves.

The public doesn't go 10 a fight 10 wa1ch skill, finesse and a 1ac1ically fought match; they want

blood. They want 10 see an individual pummeled into unconsciousne5s.

With that in mind, a promoter is more likely to set up a mismatch 10 insure that one fighter will end bis night face down on the canvas. This puts the fighter who is ovennatched in a dangerous situation.

Also, there is no specific training for referees 10 school them as to "'hen a fight should be ,;copped. In addition, the aueoding physicians have little say in stopping a bout when a fighter is obviously in trouble.

There have been auempts to take some of the danger out of the sport in the form of legislation seeking to set up a national commission to regulate all of boxing, instead of the presem system of individual state comis.sioos. AU the bills were soundly defeated.

The problem of ha,ing independent commissions is tha1 a fighter can have bis brains scrambled one night in one state and, instead of wailing a required number of days after being knocked out 10 fight again as that state demands, the manager simply takes his fighter to another state and puts him right back into the ring so he can keep earning bis 20 percent.

This subjects the fighter to unnecessary danger from taking too many shots too soon and not giv-

ing his brain enough time 10 r~over from the punishment. rr boxing bas to continue. why not sec it up in a manner similar to how Olympic boxing is run now. With the Olympic s1yle, the boxer is judged on the basis of skill alone. A well-placed jab scores jus1 as much as a knockdown. The idea is to pile up points with accuracy and skill not just to see if you can turn your opponent's brains into so much Jell-0.

When Howard Cosell refused 10 cover any more fights for ABC Sports he said he couldn't, '.'ith a clear mind, participate in a sport that had sunk to the depths that box.ing has.

The dangers of the sport manifested themselves to me the other night when Mohammed Ali was imervie"'ed after his release from a recent hospital stay. After hearing his slow, painfully slurred speech and seeing just what repeated blows 10 the head had done to him, I found myself agreeing \\ith old Howard.
