Bombing assumed joke

by Shelly Ra ynor A bomb lbrcat Monday that caused the campus 10 be evacuated and cost the school

about SI 8,000 is assumed 10 ha,•e been n joke. according 10 President Robert Bcnncu.

While a call from a male who said that thret bombs were planted in difiercnt buildings on campus was taken by switchboard opemtor Ruth Jamison at about noon, no mdence of bombs was found by search parties.

Bmneu said he has 10 assume that it was some kind of terrible joke.

Two more bomb-threat calls were reported on Tuesday, but Bcnncu made the deci· sion not 10 evacuate the campus.

"There's no 11oa)' we can get ioto a habit of cVllcuating every time we get a caU,'' he said.

Bennett said those who took the calls Tuesda)' reported them as short, and said the \'Oices sounded young.

Evacuation on Monday took about 40 minutes, he adddcd.

"It 11oent llllOOth as far as notification. but there was a hangup on Sherman Avenue with tmffic." Bennett said. "l'\'C told Rolly Jurgens (dcan of instruction) 10 notify the police if the problem arises again,'' he added. "'That way. stoplights won't have 10 be relied upon. and they (the police) can help the LT11ffic 10 move quicl.ly.

"We have no suspects. but a lot of vnluable class1ime was lost and important schedules 11oere interrupted," he said. " If we ever find out, I have 10 say we will pro· SCC\JIC."

"He feels that the students and facu lty should not be subjected with this kind of burden," Stewart said.

"Things are happening so fast with the Legislature in Boise that you (ASNIC) must work fast in developing a new proposal."

Three conditions must be addressed, S1ewan said.

First, student government must voice it.s disagretmcnt about the burden of payment to the Legislature. Then, the push toward immediate legislation for approprin· tion of funds into the budget must be focused on, Stewart said.

Placement office arrives along with Spring term

by Julie Berreth Along wit.h a new spring semester at Nonh Idaho College arrived an academic placcmen1 office and iLS director Susan Cappos.

According 10 Cappos, the new program will help studcolS in !he job market after graduation.

"Because students a.re going to find a very compcti1ivc job market waiting for them when they graduate," Cappos said, ··1 feel they need to learn 1he skills and ba,e eonfidcnce to market t.hcmsclvcs to employers-from baving outslllll· ding resumes 10 presenting a professional image.''

Cappos said she is trying Lo design the program wi1h students in mind. ..The academic placcimnt office will be three differem thing.s." Cappos said.

"FIJ'St of all, the office ,.,ju evolve into a resource area for students looldng toward graduation and starting to prepare themselves to go into the job market.

The office ,.ill include a rcfereocc-rcsourcc library of job opportunities and statistical research and analysis on the labor market in Idaho. I will also post job vacancy announcements."

Cappos said another area she will be working on is going out UllO the business community and visiting with emplO)'ers.

"I '4 ill t.r}' to asses., t.heir (employers') needs and at the same time t.r}' to create arid stimulate demand for NIC students," Cappos said.

This spring she will provide a series of workshops. including job bunting techniques , interview skills and resume writiJJg. "I am in 1hc process of researching the possibility of conducting videotaped moc:k-iatcrvievo sessions," Cappos said.

Cappos said she bas three goals for the academic placement office.

"The first goal is to aid students in becoming self-directed, motivated. coofidrnt and prq)ared ia the job search." Cappos said. "Secondly, I nm hoping the "'orkshops pro,ide students wilh Cllpcrience and help 1hem au.ain a level of cxpertisc in resume--.Titing and interviewing skills and familiarize t.hcm wi1h various job-bunting strategics."

Cappos said she also wants 10 pro\ide opponunjt.ics for employers to "personally come on campus to rccruil and iJJterview students for positions I.hey (employers) might have. " Cappos came to Coeur d'Alene from Bozeman. Mont., where she obi.ained her marketing degree from Mom.an.a State Uoiveni1y.

"Four years ago I returned 10 school as an older student,·· Cappos said. "That is one reason I am so happy to be here at NIC. I Ukc the campus atmosphere. and I look forward to working with students."

Press makes business of politician's pleasure 110n that Gan Hart, only a lowly Colorado senator. had an affair shouldn't be \Uch a bag deal And, in fact, 11 wasn't I "'11.SJl't aw'3Je of any great pubhc outcry for the remo\11ll of the alleged ,..,.o-um1ng Han's \pleen wuh a ru~t> can opener: in foci. everyone I saw who talked about 11 seemed to think of 11 as n joke.

On~ the photos of Donna Rice , urfoced, th1~jovial attitude became one of triumph. " All nght. Gary! " seemed to be what I and others thought.

It "as the prCS$ that ruined it for Hon . and it was Hori 1hu1 ruined 11 for Hart. Old Gary JUSt handled it wrong.

Han had e\ el) chance 10 tell wha1 happened. bu1 instead he simply said, "It's none of your business." He forgot abou1 that RedfordHoffman movie. You JUSt simply never tell 1he American press that somctb.mg IS none of its business, becau\e that 1s nearly a personal ot· tacl.. on the Consu1u11on a.s fo r a.s the scoop~ are concerned.

Han should have equated what happened with something like gc1 ting caught "' ith htS hand m the cookie jar.

Instead, Gary dropped out and then back into the 1988 race for the

ken ali en

The old saying "You should ne,•er mL~ business with pleasure" is dcfini1cly true.

Of course. this wise proverb probably ongina1ed m Mesopotamia sometime before the resurrec1ion of Christ. bacl.. when written langU3ge and government were two non-existent things.

Once written language and government became prevelant in societ) and each more organized with time, it seems like the two <epa.rate entities began 10 feud. Instead of the Hat fields vs. McCoys fueding, v.b1.:b eventually ended, this type of warring-between the press and politicians-never will end.

The key battle between the two Ps is fundamentall> !>:lied on the Mesopotamian's wise proverb. However. it's not that the politmans seem to always mix business with pleasure; it's that the press scetru to mlke a business out of the politicians ' pleasures.

This is the point politicians like Ga ry Hart always forget about Han's big mistake wasn't that he fooled around-allegedl)'-v.ith blonde babe Donna Rice: it was that he ne,·er took a look outside his pad to make sure the coast was clear for Rice to leave unseen.

Granted, looking for two reporters from the Miami Herald sitting in a parked car wasn't the fim thing on Hart's mind at 5 a.m., but he still should have at least been conscious of 1he possibilities- I mean. gecz, didn't he ever watch "All the President's Men?" If your name and the word president arc ever associated together you might as well kiss your privacy (and Donna Rice) goodbye-at least until the election is held.

Once a candidate is elected, he/she will have massive amounts of privacy away from the press to devote to all types of extracurricular, or extramarital, pursuits.

You can auribute chis 10 the Secret Service and what I like to call executive privilege.

Throughout history the rumors of presidents and their mistresses repeatedly have been documented.

John F. Kennedy is said 10 have had several mistresses. among them the stunning Marilyn Monroe. Spiro Agnew, George Washington and several olhe~ all have been suspected of havirtg mistresses; so the as.sump-

With the first of the primaries beginning in the states, it will be interesting to sec how much of an affect one weekend had on Hart's strange date with, not Donna. but destiny-his destiny to become president of the United States. \l.'ben the frontrunners emerge from the pack, r predict old Gary might get boxed-in somewhere behind Jesse Jackson and George Bush but will remain definitely in front of Paul Simon and Al Haig.

As I look at the presidential candidatcS, lhc only one who I feel is worthy of my vote (I've never registered, by the way) is that black guy with the eloquent speaking voice-Jesse Jackson. You' ve got to admit, he's better than mister wimpy-wimpy-wimpy George Bush.

The wound NIC fans fe lt is taking a while longer to heal, but both colleges seem to be doctoring the abrasion.

When the Cardinal cagers were hosted by CSI last year, Bennett and the Associated Students of North Idaho College were invited 10 Twin Falls in an effort 10 put the teams' differences in the past.

This year that invitation was extended to CS!, and Saturday iLS student board will be here when the Eagles face the Cardinals.

ASNlC will socialize with CS! 's student board, hosting a luncheon and a tour for the group, along with discussing the schools' budgets and the student needs.

The attempt shines dignity on the shoulders of both colleges. Admi nistrators at the colleges ha\e set aside their shields, and now some of the athletes and fans who still are guarding their spiteful feelin~ need to do the same.

Differences are beginning to step aside. Let's hope this beginning will grow instead of withering to an end.

"Alel!ander," will be narrated by Susan Nipp, author of 1he "W~ Sing Smcs," that teaches children how 10 sing. Snyder enlisted the aid of Nipp because of her past involvmcn1 in the ans in Cd' A and her good reading voice.

The second piece in the c-Oncert will be "And God Created Great Whales," by Seattle composer Alan Hovhaness. The piece is designed for orchcstr;i and elce1ric tape recordings of ~tuaJ whale wngs. The orchestra uses 20th Centu ry techniques to e-0py the S-Ongs and to augment them (the whale songs).

There arc pans in the piece 1ha1 make it dirricult to decipher from certian irutrumcms and the actuaJ whale songs, according to Snyder.

"It 's Cl!tremely atlraaive. It's<;<> different," he said.

Afrer an intcrmiuion the orchestra will perform "The Carnival of the Anima~." wuh guest pianim

Mary Wils-On, who teaches piano at NlC and Whitworth C-Ollegc piano instructor Linda Sieveru. The piece is by French c-0mposcr Saint-Saens. ..

'Remote Control' displays MTV's first good idea tim clemensen Music Tcle"ision is brain dribble for some and the miracle of the television era to others.

In its six and one half years, MTV has tried many programs and specials to appease the viewers.

In the past, MTV has tried "The Pany Zone.·· a 24-hour Madonna ''Make My Video" contest, 10 weekend trips to Jamaica with bands like Bon Jovi.

The latest offering to the radiated youth of today is the first game show to appear on the channel, .. Remote Control." The sho"' takes place in quizmaster Keo Ober·s basement at - 2 Whooping Cough Lane. with the help of his friends Colin Quinn and the lo,ely Marisol Massey.

The three contestants arc college students rrom around I he naLion " ho compete for control of the nine-channeled "Big Zenith."

The contestants. using their remote controls.

4115wcr various questions about telt'\'ision. The categories range from "Celebrity Cat-scan, Sing-along with Colin, Tbe Genius Channel" and "The Channel of the Gods" (Pai Sajak, Bob Barker and \\''ink \llartindale), to "Public Television" (which 3 percent of America watches and only I percent understands), "M.A.S.H." and ··Cartoons."

By correct))' answering a question, a comesant gains control and has the option to euher change the chanod or stay at the current channel for Jughcr pointS. Throughout the game the contestants are gh'en chances to win prizes such as compact discs and tapes. During lhe second round of the game the point values are doubled and as Ken Ober says, "So is the danger." If tbe .. Big Zenith" goes off the air, the person with tbe lowest points is out of tbe game and thrown upon the mercy of tbe network demons who hide behind the wall.

The pmoo with tbc highest point tota.l at the cod of the round is then strapped into a Craft· Marie adjustible bed for the grand priz.e round.

The grand priz.e round consists of nine video screens, upside down, sideways and rightside up. To win the grand prize (whicb ranges from either a Subaru Justy to a trip to someplace warm like Acapulco). the person must be able

to identify t.hc nine videos tn 30 seconds.

At first, when I saw previews for the show, I laughed and said, "Not onl y are they showing bad pop-metal videos and "Club MTV" with dance remixes from beyond, but now they're going 10 run a game show."

After the first time I saw it I was hooked; someone at MTV must have a brain, I thought It's the perfect game show for the television generation.

First of all, you don't ha~e to answer with a quesuon like " Jeopardy." Secondly, you don't ha"e to worry about the contestant knowing the difference between a consonant and a vowel like " Wheel of Fortune. " Categories include " Dead or Alive," where you have to know if the actOr or actress is dead or alive. "The Genius Channel" asks questions like " What color is the White House?" Duhgreen ! Granted, some of the channels arc a liulc tougher than that, but the questions should~ able to be an.Nered by anyone with half a braJn and a TV. Step aside " Price is Right," move over "Super Pass" ord ," Ken Ober and "Remote Control" is here to stay. " Remote Control" can be ~ on weekdays at 9 a.m. and again at 4 p.m. wherever MTV is sbo-. n.

Horror-writer Barker reaches new heights in latest works

by Tim Clemensen

The 11,orld of horror has been con11olled over the last several years by aulhors lilc:c St~hen Kmg and v.c. AndrcWl. Those masters ha~c been telling the tales of flowers m the attics. werewolves and or.her supernatural creatures.

Of late a new face ha.s entered this dark world. In the words of King: "That man is not fooling around.

He's got a sense of humor, and he's not a dullard, He's be11er than I am now... " Tot man on the receiving end of the compliment is 3.S-year-old, English author Clive Barker.

Barker's latest two paperback collections of s.h on stories. ''The Inhuman Condition" and "In the flesh." offer lhe reader glimpses of the new master's powers over the worlds of Ugb1 and darkness. ''The Inhuman Condition" 1elh five tales of violence. uncontrolled sexual desires and the darkest form~ of evil.

The first Story. "The Inhuman Condition." tells the story of a young man who finds a knotted piece of chord that keeps hidden horrors behind each knot.

"The Body Politic" is a talc in which hands or a man plot against him and start a bloody revolution.

••Revelations'· IS the story of an evening when the dead reiurn from the grave 10 mingle with the living in a small motel in Texas. tn 1he story "Down. Satan!'' a man in search of the presence or God squanders ha.i vast ronune by building a hell on earth to lure Lucifer 10 Eanh-giving God a reason to show huruelf.

The final story in "The Inhuman Condition" is call· ed "The Age of Oc:$irc." An experimental aphrodisiac creates some horrorifying sexual urges as the human

guinea pig goes "'ild 11oith a fever.

Barker. "'ho studied at the College of An in Liverpool, enthrals the reader into his m)'riad of macabre tales. The reader v.onders where a man of education

can think of such ghastly nccounis.

The ~test of the 1~0 collections. "In the Flesh." offen four suspenseful tales of the <upcrnatuml origin.

The first tale "In the Flesh·· is or a small-time con who discovers the birthplace of evil in his ccllmate as his rcoccuring nightmare comes 10 life in from of his eyes. " The Forbidden" is perhaps the most terrifying story of the tv.o books. The story tells the talc of n lady who. while researching graffiti on the wall of the slums, learns horrible tales of a supernatural killer known as the Candyman. The shocking tales of the murderer come true as she meets him face 10 face.

"The Madonna" deals with two businessmen, an abandoned run-down swimming pool and the mysterious maidens who Jive there to seduce the 1wo men.

The final talc of 1errror is ' ' Babel's Children." The story, set on a bidden island in the Agean Sea, tells of a vacncioning lady who runs across an old monastery where "''isc men and women race frogs to determine the destiny of the plQJlet.

The difference in Barker's Y.Titing is the way he enters into the psyches of both the ,~ctims and aggressors. His writing also usually ends in comprehension and knowledge; even in death the characlcr understands wh)' a certain fate has come 10 be.

The inspi ration for his macabre tales come from lllis dreams-which he thinks of as "raw material" just \\ai1ing 10 be tapped.

Barker's stories arc definitely not for the weak of heart who enjoy being able to sleep af1er reading a talc.

Barker is perhaps 1hc most original horror wriLer today.

For intense reading that is bound to give some slccplcss nights. "In 1hc Flesh" and "The Inhuman Condition" offer the freshest horror fiction in years .

BoDeans beat sophomore curse with 'Outside'

by David Gunter

Music critics have created a phenomenon rhar is especially ~ful when they can't think of anything 10 say. h's caJJed the sophomore curse.

The concept hinges on the idea 1ha1 the lirst album by any given group is n work of pure, unaffec1ed genius. The second olbum. according 10 the sophomore curse formula, is al"'ays a disnppoinlment.

The BoDeans must have been l'amed nbout this dreaded plague prior to releasing their ne" album. "Outside Looking In.·· Cut-for<ut, song.for· song, it is a solid collection of music, bur don't count on the liner nores 10 tcU you anything aboul it.

No lyrics or list of band members appears. and a search for song" riting credits rcvt'als only rha1 all selections were written by "He & He." The BoDeans seem bent on remaining mysterious.

After being sho\\ercd wirh praise following rhc release of their rirsr LP, "Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams: · the band might have made o conscious decision to tiptoe up on the marker. thus avoiding the ncgnrh·e reaction that often accomp:inies :i second recording venture.

The first album-a r3\\·Sounding batch of songs that perfect!>· cap1ured the band's cners>·-\\as produced by T Bone Burnett. ''L, H. S &. D" quickly

became 3 fa, Orilt> with college IIStcOc~. :ind rhc criucs ra,ed about Bumcu's reserved trt>aunent of the music.

Now, the BoDca.ns ha,e been signed to the Slash·Reprisc label. and "Outside" represents tht first fruits of that record deal.

With Talking Heads keyboardist Jem Harrison at the production b.clm, the new album respects the band's mu.SI· cianship while lending a more contem. ponu) tlair 10 the material. Harrison has taken what is basic.all>· a four-piece band and ghco it an mcrcdibly big sound; he simply found a place for cveryth.ing and put e1erythi.ng in its place.

No masshe stncls of symhcsizcr effects or choral arrangements to water things do" n arc heard, just a tight band shown at its best b) a great muing ,ob.

The BoDcans arc comprised of Beau, Sammy and Guy Bodean. wbOSC' real idenu1ics are Kurt Newmann. Samm) Llanas and Guy Hoffman rcspecti,ely.

H:iiling from the cultural Mecca of Waukesha, Wis .• lhc musicians recorded the tracks for "Outside" in L:ilt Geneva, Wis .• and later mi~cd them in Nc11. York and Los Angeles.

Son~nters Beau and Samm) Bodcan (Newmann and Llanas) deal wilh just one subject throughout the aJbumlo1e-in all its man) ,-:inauon,. Stnk· ingl~ <1mrlc n .:omenl a.nd deli\ en,

these soog.s "on't go dow-n in history as classic literature. The lyrics arc buoyed along b) UlfectJous rhythms and the disunctivc vocals of the soogwmers.

Some of the more obvious musical in· nuenees on the LP are apparem on soag.s like "Pick Up the Pieces," whkb sounds like ir could have jumped off of the Budiogha.m, Nicks album that came out just before that pair joined Fleet· "'ood Mac. Even more noticeable is the song .. ForC'ier Young," an othCNLSc good tuac that sounds a little bit too much like Tom Peuy and 1be Heanbrealcm.

These lapst1 of ongl113111y nre more th:in balanced by sund--0ur selections lilce "The Ballad of Jenny Ra e," an acoustic. chant•like rhap,ody to lost love, and the renegade fury of "Say About u:r.,e," a rocker that featuro one ·or the strangest voices in popular music today (either Beau or Sammy-but don't expect any help from the liner notes).

Don't dissect the lyrics for meaning or bemoan the face that the album doesn't sound like 11 'NU recorded in a ga.rage-try somctlung different.

Listen to the music.

Too much action-too much pressure for students

by David Gun ter

Brenda is a working mother v.ho operates a business ou1 of ~r home. Along with pulling a tow of I 5 uruts this college semester. she is uying to earn extra moM} as a wai1tcss. The pressures of uying to balance the man>· ~des of her life arc getung 10 be unbearable.

Sandy had a goal when she regutcred f o r ~ lasl fall-she was going to carry a1 many classes as possible for three semesters, get high grades and move on to a four-year school. Her part-ume job required her t.0 work a couple of l\iihts a week, so her English essa) wasn't as good as she would have liked ii to be. E,en though her GPA wauull good, Sandy feels like ,he's spinning her wheels at school.

For very different reasons these three s1udenu share a similar problem: student burn-out.

"There's a lot of stress m going to school. and most s1uden11 e,:periencc that an one way or another." Gary Coffman, NIC advising coordmator. said. "Some have more difficulty wnh II because they're trying 10 balance school v. uh so many other difficult thsngs m their lives.''

Coffman (ccb that 10 avoid burrung out a student need, to have a delined goal in mind. Sometimes that requtres a re<valuauon of prioriues.

"A lot of what I see as causing bum-ou1 hal Lo do with a \ludeni 'slack of objective," he wd. "If they're not certain why they arc attending school in 1hc first place. but they're here and cxpcncnc,ng $0mc d1/ficul1y in baloncing work, going 10 school, mainLairung good grades, they get burned ou1 sn a hurry because thc)'re crying to do a 101 and they don't \CC any purpose to it."

Students' attitudes , values change as time moves

by Ce leste Tritz

Bands were named artcr IOSCC'll. Students on college campuses partietpatcd m political activism. These were the '6()$.

Time moved on. Students suffered from PohllcaJ dwUullon =t. Disco "'ti m the limelight. These ,vcrc the '70s.

Now sludcnts find themselves 1n a pcssim1.m c atmosphere. Thts 1s the lime for nostalgia. These arc the '80s.

One similarity 1h01 has lr:l\'e~cd throughout these decades is I syndrome eailcd EFD (cxpcttations, rrus1rations and depression ), accordmg 10 ~oric 1\-es, ~ IC English and m.ass media instructor.

EFD was involved wilh the Vietnam \\'ar of the ·~. the natJOiw dis£JllCC of Watergate in the '70s and the Rcaganomics of the 'l!Os "EFD is a consistent sequence that humans go through." hes ~ .

A classic example or EFD is best de5C!ibcd by President Roaald Reagan 's eamomic policy-so dubbed Rcaganomics. Al first. Americans had faith in Rcap.nonu.:s (n · pcttations), but as lime progressed they became baflled b} the st.ate of the cconom~ (frustration) Later. Ives said, Americans bc:carne despondent (dcprcss100). • ondering ho"' many more months Reagan would be m office.

"This is a true pauem or human nature," Ives said rcassurin&,I) " It (human natunJ is OK 10 have.•• Political activity bas changed distinctly since the aeuvc ·~. Of Lhe lb.rec decades. the youth or the 1960s were easily the most politically and socially act11c:. occordint 10 poliucal and social science instructor Tony Stc:wan.

Dramatization or the Political protests and 1•iolen1 acu1ism of the: '60\ ov~rsbadov.ed the quiet majority that accomplished thin~ in a peacdul. nom,olc:nt manner. Ste-,,.an said.

This quiet majority held peaceful rallies 10 speak out for the civil rights of indi,lduah and wrote lc11ers ~upporung civil rights and protesting racism 10 leg1Slau,·r rnem~. according lo S1ewar1.

In 1969, Stc"'an. now president of thC' Kootenai Count) Ta, k Force On HumJn Relations, said he pcrsonnally "'rote le11crs in supJ>Ort of human ngh1>.

The '60s were a special lime for the upholding of human rights.

''I saw a lot more student in1•olvcmen1 in dealing II ith campus, pohtical a.nd "'orld issues in the ·705 than I do now," he sajd.

"Social restraints were loosened in the '70s. StudenLS opened up and democrarucd through sctr uprc:)~ion," Ives said.

However, as 1hc '70s odvanced, the human nght.s mo,c:ment digressed. An opposite movement from civil righlS 10 the "mC'" identity began 10 form, St('ll,art said.

While society became more materialistic. the American cuhure began to get 11s fttt wet in what is referred 10 as the ritht to party, Ste"'art said.

Celebration varies with culture

by Kim Hester

Ahhough the term "valenune" often brings 10 mind the thought of a dozen dew-sprinkled rosc-s or a hean-shopcd box of mouth-watering delicacies. th.is traditional American custom is only one or the many "ays Valenunc's Doy is celebrated.

In a different culture. customs ma) change completely. Take:, for instance. the ancient Roman fc-stivitics.

It was February. The Roma.n feast of the: Lupercalia was being held. and the names of young men and women had been placed in the bo~. As the dra,,i ng neared. tension :ind txcitemcnt . permeated through the crowd.

The chance drawings were to decide the fate of lo1·e for all of them for the next full year.

Names were dra11 n, and young new couples were formed until the nc.,t Feb. 14.

Dunng their year together the young people c.,cbanged gifts, and. later on. instead exchanged valentines.

The Christian clergy. which objected to such pagan usage on the d3y of the saint, later subs11tuted the names of sainlS m place of the young people.

Then, instead of gaining II nc:"

bo) friend or girlfriend. the youth "'c:~ to emulate lhe saint "hose n.ame IM} drew for Lhe nc'<t year.

Eventually, this aspect of the da} died out and the original custom again took place.

In Europe, during the Middle Ages, it was beliC'ed that birds began to mate on Feb. I.!. S0me11,here along the way the idea that \'alc:nline's Day is for lovers was blended into this concept.

There is yet o.notbcr theory. The Norman "'ord ..galantin.'' "'hich means lo,·cr of "'omen. "''llS frequently pronounced with a "1" instead of a "g," and that's ho"' the term "Valentine" go1 st.ancd. \\'helhcr celebrated in one of these "'ays or in che LrBdilional American way. one "-Ord has seemed to fol1011.

Valentine's Doy down lhrough the ages, and cluu "'ord is love.

"True to, cis lhe abilil) 10 respect one another's feelings and 10 not be possessive or each other,·· commcmcd IC student Laura Putzier.

"Communication also pla)S a I;~ role! And ...don't be for chcaling on c:ich oLher. " 1he said.

,\\ the '70s become a J>3II of the past and Amc:ncans advanced into the '801. the marc,-iah~uc amtudcs v.ere accompanied b} the l)(SS1mism of 1hc future, S1ewar1 said. s ,.illrnl5 no" are bcginoaog 10 ttro in on technical training rather than Jcquirmg ,.., eau.:auon, h es said Bam:.lll), 11 m, ohcs aemna rich qu1cldy Studenu now won1 to know whot'a in 11 :or them, he r,a1d.

Future not paralyzed for Shawn Stone

by Randall GrHn Shawn Swne harl iwo choic:cs: give up or fight baclc.

He chose to fight.

Swne is a familiar race on campus. especially in Seiter Hall. He spends most of his time in math and science rooms, preparing for the rigors of higher education in the rrcld of elcc:uical engineering. He work.s hard at it too; t.he inclusion of his name on t.hc fall semester Dean's List attCSIS that.

Another reason Stone fr~uenu Sciter's balls is because Setter Hall has an elevator. Without that elevator, Stone has a difficult time getting to class-he is considered w be a paraplegic, wbiclJ means he is paralyud from the waist down. " My injury was caused by a motorcycle accid~t I bad in July, J98S," Stone said.

Stone said he didn't race din bikes, but he liked to ride them fa.st . He enimatcd that his speed was bet· ween 1S and 100 mph as be sped along the bridle path, which parallels U.S. Highway 9S between Hayden Lake and Coeur d'Alene when be bit an elc-vatcd, unmarked crossroad. " It wasn't recoverable.'' he wd about his crash.

Looking ot his bands folded in bis lap as be sat in his wbcclcbair, he said the crash lcnoclced the wind out of him, but he wu able to get up and get back on his bike.

"Someone passing by on the highway saw me wreck and stopped to help, and I told him I thought I was all right."

He said he then rode the motorcycle to a friend's howe at the bue of Canfield Mountain and began 10 notice his feet were starting to tingle. ··t pulled into his (friend's) driveway and manaicd to get the kickstand down and realized I couldn't get off the bike," Stone 1ald.

Stone managed 10 drag his useless legs off the bike and sit on 1hc ground a.s hi, sense of feeling diminish· ed from his legs u 1he paroly1is progressed up 10 his chcsl.

Stone's drive and determination to gel back his active lifestyle has given him a single-minded type of focus tb.11 most others envy. He knows what he wants 10 do and has learned to take things one day at a time and one step a, a time. Stone said his injury has taught him 10 be goal-oriented and to be patient.

He said his injul')' ultimately has affeeted his decisions about bis career and where he will transfer to finish his eduC3tion. The University of Idaho has been ruled out in his mind. He said the eleetrical engineering dcpanment is in an old multi-story building that has no elcv1nor. Access for the handicapped student is a real dilemma Stone is faced to deal with.

Stone's accident and resultant injul')' hasn't slowed his sports interests, though. He participates in a handicapped skiing program offered by the Spokane City Recreation Ixpartment at Mt. Spok3ne on Sunday nights.

The "Sit Ski" he is learning to ride is just one of the special dC\~Ccs designed for the handicapped. The Sit Ski resembles a bicycle frame with a ski :111achcd instead of wheels. Stone Sllid he is just beginning to ride it with the aid of outrigger skis he holds with his

arms.

Stone said the Craig Rehabilitation Center was the place where he learned about all the opportu nities for handicap rccre:1tion. He also said, "that was where I decided 10 fight instead of give up. " "Everyone there was a paralysis or movement· imparcd victim, and everywhere J looked I was constantly reminded that there was always someone worse off 1h:1n me," he said.
