ASNlC is recci~ing applications to rtll two vacant senatorial seats on the stu· dent board-one freshman and one sophomore. Applicants must be carrying 12 credits, have a 2.0 gpa from 1he fall semester. and be free for meetings on Tuesdays at .1;30 p.m. Applications may be submiued to ASNIC President Kris Dunning or to NIC Assistao1 Director of Au.'(iliary Smicc:s Karmen Servick. Applications arc due Feb. 3. After two false St.art.S, the Student board convcocd its first official meeting of the spring semester at 7 a.m .• Jan. 24. lo the midst of unshaven faces and yawns, the board considered five applications to fill the vice president post that was vacated at the semester by Eric Phillips. Dunning recommended Sen. Bob Stull for the job and the motion passed unanimously. Other applicants considered wen Ken Plank, Kirn Strahan. Brian Klingshcim and Newton Hill. After two weeks of formal discussion and less-than-formal haggling, the board set its spring semester meeting time as Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. Steps arc in motion to further formalize the meeting time by including it in the regular schedule or classes. TIit Board's initial attempt to convene its 1986 session began on slippery footing with a desultory uomeeting on Jan. IS because it lacked a quorum.

The first issue or Cu.rrcnts, a news.letter designed to highligh1 1mporan1 news and evenu conccrnlna NlC, recently arrived on 1he desks or stale legisla1ors and area business and ci vie leaders. Accordlna 10 NIC Public Rela1ions Director Steve Schenk, the publication was prompted after school oHicia.ls felt the nttd for a more dlrttt persona! line of communica1ion wi1h lnnuen1ial people. Schenk said the four-page quarter!>• was a cooperative effort between himself. lus wls1an1 Mona Klinger and Phil Corfu, NIC assislllllt director of msuuetionsl medl3. Funds for the projcc1 were provided through tbc pubhc relations budget. The first issue covered s1orics ranaing from the success nuc of NIC's adult education proaram to the NIC debate 1cam's nationa.1 third-place 111okiog. Schenk added lha1 If anyone has a1w names of individuals ~ho should be on the mailina list or has any suucstions as 10 the quancrly's content, he or she should coniact the Public Relations Office.

employment and academic ineligibility combined to strip the ASNIC ranks of funcuona.l rcrprcscntativc leadership during lbe first two weeks of the semester. Minutes of the last I98S meeting had

not been printed and were, therefore. not read. " No mauer," Dunning commented. "We can't convene a meeting anyway without II quorum." Dunning caUed the unmecting to start; unmeetings, of course. cannot be ca.lied to order. Faculty adviser Tony Stewar1 presented Sen. Tim Kelly's resign111ion to the board. For the nc.'(t several minutes board members maundered about a new meeting time that would no1 connicl with a host of interlocling personal commitments until Stewart leveled a crisp reminder about respoosibili1y 10 their electorate. "A board member receives II scholar· ship, two credits and a Slllary for serving as an elected reprcseotat ive of his fellow students," Stewart said. '' Any member who cannot meet the obligations of office should rcsign." Before the unmeeting was stopped some of the members c."<J)rcsscd concxm that many students are irate about the board's unpublished decision to convert the Subway study lounge into an art gallery. Al its Dec. 4 meeting, the board pass. ed a bill, introduced by Kelly, that placed the space under the art department's jurisdiction c.i1cept for two weeks prior to and during c.i1ams. The bill passed 10 days after publication of the Senlinel's lu1 issue and 11 days before final exam week; it was, therefore. never made public. Students desiring 10 offer mauers for the board's consideration may present them 10 the ASNIC offices, located downs1airs in the Subway, for inclusion in the agenda.

~ Positive PR drivel is BS dan breeden

Not too long ago, my phone rang. "Dan?" said the voice. " Do you guy~ send the Senunel out to the stales' legislators?'' "To some we do," I answered. " I lhink about 12 of them arc on our mailing list." "Altogether how many papers do you send out?" "Two-hundred." "What would it take to send out 120 more Sentinels so that our elected chiefs will know what's going on up here?" "A very dedicated work-study student and probably some fresh horses for the post office." ''We'll run it by Barry (as in Schuler) and see wha1 he says." Soon afler lbe conversation, the Sentinel was asked to supply a list of legislators' names that received this student publication. About the same time a rumor was circulating through the adminisuative grapevine that if we did start sending the Sentinel 10 the politicos or the Idaho legislature, NIC's hierarchy would want a much more po.s111ve slant on the news. Nothing more was uttered on the issue until, upon returning from Christmas vacation. there on my desk was the gods' aru\\er to Barry's " Happy News" dilemma. It's called Currents, NIC's latest public rdations rag that will soon keep the caca from hitting the bottom of every cockatoo cage from Bonners Ferry to Bloomington. (People have canaries, legislators have cockatoos.) Sting the objective person that I am, I donned gloves, rubber boots and commenced to wade through the material. Na1urally, I was disappointed. It had a lot of "positive" things in it Gust like Barry wanted), and it contained several articles that rm sure the Boise vacationers had to literally tear themselves away from in order to pick a piece of lint off their suits. The name isn't even original. Currents has been the title of Idaho Deparuncnt of Water Resources monthly news magazine for three years. On the back of the quarterly newsletter it states that its purpose will be to ·• ... highlight significant and interesting events affecting students, staff and the community.... " Whew! For a second there I thought 1ha1paragraph had been a typo. So, I paged through the magazine again. But still some things had obviously been spared the author 's ink. Funny, I didn 't see anything about: - an elaborate JuJy wedding fe1e. -the alleged nepotistic hiring of a college counselor. Or, -a certain college president's gallant effon to censor the free press. How sill)' of me 10 naturally assume these events fell under the category of " affecti ng students, staff and the community." Of course, we all kno"' why those great stories hit the proverbial circular file. If Barry wanted our states' party leaders to kno"' \\hat really happens behind NIC's cunains. he'd have sent them copies of this paper. Not that Currents doeso ·1 have its place. After all-putting the need for fire staner aside-even Pravda serves a purpose to its Russian citizens. But if Bllrl') reall) is determined to acccmuate the positi\'e, then here are a fc"' StOI')' suggestions for the ne:ct edition of the quarter!). Let's announce that: -·NIC has just won the Washington Lotte!) and Barry \\ill not have to go to Boise 1his year and cry for more money. --due 10 a rather large do nation, NIC's new librar) ' computer science buildi ng will be completed this fall. Or. the one that will really get the halls of the legislature rrnging v.ith praise: --NIC President Barry Schuler announced bis resignation today. He reportedly has decided to pursue his life-long dream of being. a railroad engineer.

Rally squad

Leaders can 't do it alone \\ ell, ll figures. The staff and students at NIC bitched and moaned for years about how pathetic the cheerleaders were, but no" that the program has been 1urncd around and the college finally has some young women to shout about, the fans seem to be suffering from lockjaw and leaded pants. The most support these girls have had all year was last week when a few score of kids from Bryan Elementary School showed up unannounced aod commenced to yell to their heart's content. Too bad a few more NIC students were not at the game taking notes on what a cheering section should look like. Fans can stiU be seen in the stands rolling their eyes or sighing shamefully soft sighs at these brave beauties who are out on 1he coun giving their all, but none of them seem to be willing to take their place or lend cheir verbal support. The most outspoken support from NIC students came at the beginning of the season from a group of young men who had obviously just been practicing the latest in beer-drinking techniques. Now, without going so far as to promote the imbibing of alcoholic beverages-if that's what it takes to lend a loud mouth to a good cause-then hopefuUy more students will give it a cry. These cheerleading ladies are not gymnasts, nor are 1hey athleces, or professionals. They are merely fellow students who are in need of a little vocal encouragement, clapped support and some good old fashioned foot-stomping and bleacher shaking. Booze or no booze.

-------------,(...__._m_o_ri_e_o~~_in_io_n--=--_J Idaho media ploy exploits King Day to clear bad name

Profs war on innocent corpuscles One or the most ironic lhinas in all of life muat be when a person in a Laundromat stands amoltina a ciprette while pulling clothes out or a dryer. Thia individual drives that far and spends that much money tryina to aet clothes clean, and before he even aets a chance 10 wear them, he is already puttina the stench back in them. Explain that one. Undoubtedly, there is probably no question in anybody's mind that every smoker on this planet has a personal right 10 smoke almost whatever he chooses. What needs 10 be determined is when do the rights of the smoker infringe on the riahts of the non-smoker? After a discussion of some vehemency, one man is known to have said to the other, "Your riahts end where my nose begins." They were probably in a bar discussing the pale blue vapor that insistently clung nostrilhigh in the limited atmosphere that both of them were occupying at that time. But bars do no1 stand alone. Lately laws have been enacted 10 protect the nonsmoker's lungs, eyes and clOLhcs as he stands

in a supermarket , the foyer of a public buildina or a public restroom. Surely, the majority of non-smokers agree that if the smoker slowly V.'llllts to kill himself than that is cenainly his right, but he docsn 't need to 1alce the lives of others along with him. And the sarcastic argument that it would be shameful if a non-smoker lost an innocent red corpuscle or two before its prime no longer holds smoke. That's not the poiru. The point is that if a red corpuscle bas to be lost, it should be up to its owner as to how ii meets its maker. Perhaps college professors should be made aware of that as well as the legality of having smoke permeate neutral halls. Lately, the air in some campus buildings has become an irritable playground of pallid smoke panicles because the toking professors who reside in them insiSt on smoking in their cubicles with the doors open or in the bathrooms shared by both. Their rights have ended because innocent noses ha, e begun.

Manin Luther King Jr. deserves a day of national recognition. But that does not mean 1ha1 his dream has been realized. It is not time to wax nostalgic, remembering the words and deeds of King, fondly recalling the battle. Coeur d'Alene cannot be a community that pats itself on the back and engages in sanctimonious covereverything-with -a¡ veneer-of-good oessand-all-t he-ugliness-wi 11-go-away escapism. It is easy 10 forget the realities of the war with the front so far away. And one might feel some suspicion toward the spectacle presented in the C-A Auditorium Monday, Jan. 20. To stage what could be interpreted as a manipulation of the media in an attempt to counter the racist image of a community is a questionable activity at best, an ugly ruse al worst. To use a well-meaning young man 10 play the part of Coeur- d'Alene's "token black" for the cameras is dishonest. Especially since he does not live here, would not live here and could not comfortably live here. When he was introduced, he received greater applause than any of the other speakers. This was because the audience did 001 see just another man approach the podium. They saw a black man.

That is the essence of the problem-the constant distinction between black men and white men. No eminent Coeur d'Alene black exists who could have spoken at this function, so a 19-year-old transient student was used. The young student read excerpts from two of Mr. King's speeches, and when finished, received a standing ovation. However, one might have felt the ovation to be an exercise in placation-allowing a black man 10 recite another man's words on a stage in what still appears to be a lilywhite town.

Veterans day King Day OK; other 'heroes ' neglected Major kudos to Tony Stcwan, Paul Bryant, ct al for lhcir splendid cffons in drawing the community together to observe the memory of an American hero, Martin Luther King Jr. Shutting down classes at midday and making opportunity to recall the deeds of a courageous campaigner for human rights is a fitting gesture. King, after all, was a man who contributed heavily to a landmark course change in our nation's history: his pursuit of "a dream" provoked an outcry for the cause of neglected black Americans. That dream culminated in the passage of legislation to banish racial inequality in the land. King's birthday became an ofricial natfonal holiday this year. and most communities and federal activities sponsor memorial observances of this famous American who was martyred in a just cause. With no intent to denigrate or in any

way diminish the significance of Martin Luther King Day, an accusing finger must be leveled at NIC and the question asked: " What happened to Veterans Day at historic Fort Sherman by the lake?!" Veterans Day, first celebrated as Armistice Day in 1919, bas graced the official calendar of national holidays since 1938. Traditionally, schools close. Federal and municipal employees have the day off. The nation pauses to remember the millions of men and women who have given ponions of their lives to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States. Some simply gave their lives. Even in Kootenai County, schools closed to remember. However, NIC's ivory tower of higher learning stood as a singular, or perhaps, insular exception. No classes dismissed. No flags waved. Not a whisper of remembrance. It was (oh, hum) business as usual. The

academic machine myopically ground its way through another ordinary day. This school has been quick to embrace the spirit of Martin Luther King Day-of the civil rights movement and all that King stood for- as well it should. Few people probably arc still at NIC who marched with King. and no more than a handful who personally felt the direct impact of these events, but all paused to remember. On the other hand, there arc still those on campus who walk awkwardly or wear teUtale patches of puckered scar tissueveterans whose bodies remind them daily of service and personal sacrifice. Are these not also worthy of remembrance on their special day? Evidently not at NIC.

New holiday token of turbulent Sixties The cclebration of Martin Luther King's binbday at NIC Jan. 20 stirred some old memories wit.run me. I can easily recall where I was and what I was doing April 4, 1968, when a spttial news bulletin interrupted that afternoon's television programming 10 announce that King had been assasinated. It's uncanny how people can remember the most minute of details when a tragic event, such as King's murder, takes plac.e. I know what the weather was like, who was with me, who made Lhc announcement on TV and even the rype of chair I was sitting in. Perhaps Lhe memory remains so strong because I'm convinced I.hat a part of me was somehow left behind that afternoon.. Althou,gh I wasn't quite 12 years old, I began realizing that the world was a lot bigger and more complicated place than my parem's home, school and neighborhood. In short, I became aware that a lot of senseless acts are commiued against others. Up untU th, time of King's death, names such as Birmingham, Montgomery, Chicago, Atlanta and Memphis meant little or nothing 10 me. I didn't even know who Martin Luther !Gng Jr. was. The town I lived in was far removed from King's battle for dignity, and words li.kc segregation were 001 a part of daily life. With the nationwide mourning and anger following his death, I began to realize that the world wasn't the same as where I lived. The world wasn't a white, middle-class neighborhood everywhere with trimmed lawns, enough to cal and a color television in every living room. Instead, I btpJI understanding that there was a lot of anger and struggling taking place. I came to know that for some there was an urgency to be heard and acknowledged, and that there were others who would resort to anything-even murder-to silence another man's beliefs. In 1968, I didn't know who Jim Crow was, but there were a lot of people who did, and they were tired of him. They were also tired of living in slums and being paid poor wages-when they could find a scarce job. Because the Western Washington city I lived in was predominately caucasian populated, I was fonunate at the time, of King's death. to have a black man for a teacher. Perhaps it was my teacher who helped me grasp and appreciate the strugg.le that others were going through just

[!1

to ride a bus or get a drink of water from the same fountain as somebody else. TIit day after Kht& was laid to rest, my teacher told the class that he'd had the honor at one point in his life to have worked alongside Manin Luther !Gog J r. Tearfully, he told a story of how some people had bombed King's home while he was away and his wife and chiJd were inside. An angry crowd of black people assembled outside and wanted to kill the people responsible. My teaehcr told us that the police were worried the people might Stan rioting. My teacher said that Manin Luther King arrived and told the angry crowd that those who had weapons should go home. King told the a owd thaI tbey should meet their white brother's hate with love, and the crowd of people soon dispersed. Most lmportaadJ tbotlp, my teaehcr told my class that Martin Luther King would not be the last to die senselessly for his beliefs. Tragically, a few months later in June more blood would be spilled. fulfilling my teacher's prophesy. Not unlike King's assas.sin, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Palestinian. would gun down Robert Km¡ nedy, who was maJc.ing a bid for a presidential nomination in Lo5 AJJaelcs. Once again, the counuy mourned, my sister aicd, and another part of my childhood naivety was apin left behind in the wake of a scnsdesS act.

For m,-lf, the 18-ycar-<>ld memories dredged up by the Jan. celebration of King's birthday were welcome. It gave a lot of us the oppon uruty for introspection and the chanCe to realize bow r~unatc we arc that there are men such as King who give unsetr!Shly their dreamS and lives.

~ 'Failure to communicate' john hughes

I'm convinced that one day the people of North Idaho-Coeur d'Alene specifically-will come to realize that the ans are an integral pan of life and of education. The arts reflect our lives, our history, our triumphs and our failures. One day the people of Couer d'Alene will realize this-bem:r a few thousand years late ihan never. right? Many people in this area are not just politely disinterested, but downright hostile when it comes to anything that bas to do vdth the ans. In one of my classes during the first week of school the insuuctor ~ around a petition from the Pend Oreille Arts Council. lt 'I\DS to be sent to the Idaho State Legislature in an a11empt to get addiuonal funding for the arts above and beyond the Sl4.95 they already ha\'C allocated. Out of I class of over 30 people, two students signed it (and one of them was yours truly). But what was really interesting was that not only did the rest of the people not sign it, many passed it around belligerently as if it were an application for Soviet citizenship. I can understand disinterest: I'm not panicularly interested in laserdental technology or the effects of artificial illumination on the housefly. However, I'm not hostile toward those ideas. " Laser-dental technology! Idaho doesn't need any lase.r-dental technology! Idaho needs laser-dental technology like teenage girls need binh control pills!" Now, there was another problem with this whole petition business. The instructor had to read it to the class (it would have taken the entire period for everyone to have read it individually). So, here we have this instructor who is faced with the difficult wk of getting people to think logically and to express themselves concisely and precisely, standing up in front of a class reading a document that is composed of run-on sentences strung together with commas and whereases: " ... whereas blah blah blah, whereas blah blah blah .... " He confessed that he gets a little embarrassed after the fourth-or-so "whereas." And I cert.ainly don't blame bim. I mean, who wroce that pompous piece of crap? Some just-out-ofcollege ansy-fartsy snot who thin.ks the ability to distin~h betw:en a Rodin and a Gum by gives one the right to ask people to sign something worded in a way that seems to say, " ... whereas we're so right and they're so wrong, whereas we're so sman and they're so dumb, whereas, whereas .... " "WbJlt we ban Mrt is a failure to communicate." People who a.re involved in the ans in this community cannot uy to communicate with people in a fashion that makes it seem that they think they are somehow more elevated than those people. . People who are not involved in the ans have no reason to act hostile towa.rd that which they know little or nothing about. The aforementioned instructor later re-presented the petition to the same class in a more straightforwa.rd manner (omitting some of t.he whereases). The class responded much more positively. People who are working to promote the ans in this area must realize that they arc working from a position of disadvaouae. They arc not providing a sought.after service. They are faced with the task of educaring-a task that is never easy.

['--__ sc_re_e_n_s_ce_n_e______J Devito's wit sparkles in movie 'Jewel of Nile'

by Tbuaa Carey the same as that of its predecessor: Girl gets in jam, boy tries to come to the rescue, exciting chase ensues, all ends happ.ily ever after. Granted, it's no "Amadeus," but then Mozart probably never hung o,,er the side of a speeding train. The formula works, providing rwo hours of entertaining escapism. Douglas and Turner arc adequate as the heroic duo. although at times it seems that belaboring their on-againoff-again romance is consuming 100 much celluloid. Their affair is hardly of the same magnitude as that of Rhett and Scarlcu. and franlcl)•, my dear, the suspense of their romantic destiny is hardly a cliflhangcr. Aside from this, however, their portrayals arc fine in their romp down the Nile. A new face in "Jewel" wonh mentioning is Avner Eisenberg, who plays a holy man that is the reason for the chase. He is a friendly, rather simple fellow with a penchant for creating confusing conversation. Holy Man: ..Come. Joan Wilder. We must go." Joan: "Please, it's just Joan." Holy Man: "01:ay, Just JoaJl, we must hurry now." This movie should have something for everyone- exploding action Oiterally), romance, and humor. The viewer can thank Mr. DcVito for the humor. Herc's hoping tba1 v.c can look rorward 10 more from this talented actor.

In these days of the HoUywood $C(jUel glut, even the most tolerant movicagocr is skeptical about seeing a cinematic follow-up. I I is a refreshing oception to find a squeJ that worlcs. "The Jewel of Lile Nile," Lhe second chapter 10 "Romancing the Stone," is cxcitlng, fast-paced, and best of all, it is funny. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner arc haclc as hero Jaclc Colten and novelist Joan Wilder. But the best news is that Danny DcVito returns as the greedy, opportunistic Ralph. DcVito, lcnown to millions as Louie on the television series "Ta.xi," is the real star of this ftlro. He alternatel y threatens and grovels his way through a hilarious series of mishaps. He is given a bigger role in "Jewel," and his portrayal leaves the viewer wanung more. Reminiscent of the porcupine per· sonality of Louie DePalma, DcVito's Ralph is a real charmer. He feigns membership in the United States State Department, insults tribes of people at a time and changes aUcgiance on a regular basis. Ralph 's deeds do not, however, go unpunished. He gets his head sat on by a horse, he is forced to tread on hot coals and he is bung by the feet over a ral pit. The outright, two-faced conniving and brown-nosing is hysterical. The premise of this film is basically

"We rcalJ) apprecatc the essays 11,e\,e goncn, and the qualiry keeps improving each )-cat." Joruuon 1w bcco invol\-ed tn the COil· rest from the beginning and said the idea of having an essay contest originated when k't'a"&I NlC English instruct.o n &1 • tended a North Idaho wnting project 1hrtt years 130.

Clubs uncloseted; how sweat it is h's not just lifting free weights, doing the situps and push-ups. and jogging anymore. In the last couple ycus, Coeur d·Atcnc ha.s fell a fuller impact of Lhe athletic club. The time when free weights and a chin-up bar were l.hc extent of a club was ended " 1th the advent of machine weights-Universal, Nautilus and the new Eagle systems. Even oow the machine weights arc taking a back seat to a newer variety of facilities designed to aurac1 the entire family. people of all ages. Tanning booths. aerobic lessons, tennis. basket· ball and racquetball couns have become commonplace with jogging trampolines, swimming pools, saunas and Jacuzzis. Athletic clubs have something for everyone, and lhcy arc usually offering family, 1wo-for-ooe and student discounts to draw people from all areas of society. These clubs arc an interesting change from the no-frills weight bench and chin-up water pipe in the b3SClllen1. So if jogging and sh-ups arc burning some people out, a local athletic club might have the answer to the problem of rekindling interest in staying physically fil. There arc three athletic clubs in the immediate Coeur d'Alene vicinity.

Credit coaches for non-credit kids Ben came to NlC this semester after leaving a Spokane college and working for a semester. He wants to improve his shot put and hammer throw. When l mel hjm, though, I wondered why be would leave Spokane, where schools have much stronger track and field programs than '!C's much younger one. "There's a lot of good athletes on that team (in Spokane) who arc really smart and do well, but if you're not already first-rate, then you're just a number to the coaches." he told me. Ht .... , nt to lbt colltgt an average thrower with goals of improving on the field and gelling a degree m physical therapy. So his coach gave bim 17 credits each semester, his books and some work study But lhat was it. He .isn't getting the attention he had hoped to get .. nd which he needed to improve. Consequentl~, he decided to redshin and save some eligib1luy.

He attended classes and worked his work smdy, but evcnrually fdt that be wasn't getting anywberc, _He dropped out last spring. Re left the school with ooc iransfcrrable credit, of 34 taken, and a fresh supply of disappoimmem. " I clidn 'L know much about colltge and transfcrrable crcdiu then." He trusted his coach to schedule some classes that wooJd hdp him move on to get his dcgrcc; instead, be was given a few P .E. classes and a large load of non-transferrables. He wasn't given a chance on the fidd or in the classroom. A year of bis life has passed, and now he must start again where he started last year. But he said he thinks it will be different here. Now be is t:akm& history, math. an and English. He knows about u-ansfcrrable credits, but u.nforrunatdy was forced lO learn it at the cost of a Y~ of his education. He is building a base for his future, throwing and learning.

He said his coach here "is more worried abo, what I'm gonna get out of school than sporu. He's one of a few coaches J know like that." It really bothers me that a naive fre4bman may put his trUSt in his coach, his adviser, and get the ''You're just a number" ueaunent. Some coaeba must have forgotten that the schools were built; then sporu were added as a bighlighL They must think the gymnasium was built for the athlete, and then the classrooms add· ed for the athlete's leisure time. Spons are great, but until schools, coachc:s and the public swp over-priori~ng them •. student· athlctCS v.iJJ continue to be m1sled, their futures being jeopardized in the process.
