I Petitions for ASNIC elections ... what good?

I I Next to not being able 10 get all of those expensh·e books into a backpack. the thing most annoying about September and the beginning of a new school year is the school election petition and its sidekick. the "signature monger.

Absolutely no purpose c-1ists for the " election by petition·· approach that ha!> been incorporated into the MC bJ·-laws.

Of course. 11 1s somev. hat tradmonaJ 10 eleC'I officers in this manner. :tnd

(.. ____o_p_in_io_n_pa_g_e_ _J laura hubbard Abe making 'less cents' This month the penny as we know it v.i ll go lhe way of the buffalo.

It's all the result of a scheme some bure:iucr.11 at the U.S. Mint cnmc up with in an effort to ~ecp ol' Abe honest.

It secmb that Mr. Llncoln was stretchmg the truth a bit by implying that II penny was really worth one cent; u 11:is 3C'lually worth n linle more.

So this month 1he government will sum mal.mg peonies out of a mixture of zinc nnd copper rather than copper only. What will this mean 10 the :11·erage American who saves and spends this commodity?

I'm sure that to most , it will not really mean that much. A penny sa1cd will s1ill be a penny earned, and. of course. we will all pinch our pennies just 3!> hard.

And, e,·en though some may lllgue this point. finding a penny will probably still mean luck for the discoverer.

But, when miking with people. one discovers that the coming change in pennies will not mean the same 10 ev-eryooe.

After all. the penny is often the best friend of a child. although it takes considerably more of the coins to buy the same things one could buy some years ago. Some of the sweet surprises of childhood are born with the discovery of a few pennies. Those who lived back when the penny was worth more cringe at the thought of h:i1·ing its 1•alue "defaced" once 3gain.

In Caci, the penny is really the best friend of everyone; it offers us hope when fin:incial condition ma)' not be very stable. As long as we have a fe11 cems to cling to. we don't have 10 consider ourselves completely broke.

But we shall only think of these things for a sbon period. and life will turn back to its normal course. We will probably even forget that the penny was ever different.

So. this month the banks "ill take down their signs reminding c.-ustomers of ll temporary peony shortage: the merchants, finding that they can again buy pennies from the bank. 11.iU talce down their signs asking patrons to contribute any peonies they can \pare.

Aft.er this month, a fei,· wUI horde the "old" penny for its \Cntimental value. and those who horded it for its monetary value will quit when they find out tha1 ii really woo ·1 be wonh big bucks for many. many years. _So. when the mint starts c.hurniog out the new pennies. no one will stand and mourn: America will just kiss. another · in\titution" good-bye and continue on.

Congratularions. Abe. you're honest once again.

many municipal. state and nationa.l elections are handled similarly. but that in itself should make one doub1 the system's efficiency.

One 1ie11 in support of this method of election is thnt it narrows down 1hc field of candidates by forcing them 10 go out and collect SO signatures. It has JJso been said that the petition is an indica1ion of n candidate's support from the student bod).

Well. it takes very little initinti1•c on the part of the candidate to gather SO )ign.1tures. One can walk through the SUB nearly nny day between I I a.m. :tnd I p.m. and gather a su fficient number of signatures.

And any,., ay. would ii not be possible for n cnndidnte to sign his or her petition 1\ith SO bogus signatures (of real stude nts). or 01 leust enough 10 reach the quota?

In reference to the petition being an indicntion of n student's support from 1he :.tudeot body. one could wager thnt five minutes ofter o person signs a pctnion. he or she would not be oble to remember whot the candidate's name \\OS ond possibly wouldn't even know wha t the candidate looted like.

Why aren't the petitions in the ASN IC elections ju!tt :.crapped altogether?

Eliminate thh triviality :md go on to the speeche~ nnd the secret ballot.

A much belier judge of a candidate·~ intereM and e nthusiasm is the amount of expo~ure he or she accumulmes through posters ond one-10-onc interaC'lion with fello11 students.

Wnting a good speech, one that will be remembered from Friday when the speeches ore heard until Monday when the election is held, i~ definitely o difficult enough task to make a pe1ition :.eem irrelevant. Let's fo cc it; this petition business is exemplary of political bureaucratic red lope.

So, for the sake of efficiency, why don' t we shelve o little more tradition and try to find o bcner w3y,

• • more oprntons Men need equal rights VinuaJJy everyone agrees that stereotyping women is discrimination. But Is stereotyping men dlscrfmJnalloo?

ln a recent discussion in an English class. the class discussed the Declaration of Sentiments wriuen at a women ·s rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848.

The declaration. and the class's inslructor. maJce a point of mentfoning tha1 women feel pressured by society to accept traditional women's roles. and that the main form of this pressure is from stereotypes.

The above would not be worth mentioning were it not for the discussion that followed : The instructor asked the class to indicate by a sbov. of hands whether they like the shon Story "A Pair of SiJk Stockings." Only one of the men raised his hand as liking the story. Below are some of the comments 1hat followed.

Instructor: Why don't men like 1his story?

A female studen1: They probably don' t IJke the !Hie. Another female student: Yeah. if it was about sportfJSbing or football they would probably like II. ln'itrucior: If ~he (1he woman in the <,tory) were married, her husband "as not a good provider.

The boldface 1ype indicates the stereotypc.s against men. To borrov. the femlniMs ' Jargon, they all reinforce traditional mnle sex roles.

Pre\umnbly, o person opposed to seidsm would not make such sto1emcnts.

Why. then, 1he~e statements from women who supponed 1he Declaration of Sentiments?

[...___k_a_le_id_o_s_co_~_e_____J New music instructor enthusiastic about job

by T.racle Albertson

Whal do you get when you mix together a lot of enthusiasm. some drive. a little optimism and a great Jove for mu 5ic?

You'd probably end up with a good muMc director. which is exactly what NIC h35 found in Todd Snyder. NIC's new music director.

Born and raised in Iowa, Snyder said he has always loved mu&1c. He started taking piano lesson'> at the ngc of S. n_nd he hos not stopped ~incc.

Simon triumphs again

by Joseph Gr1mer 1l1e latest in a long line of film masterpieces for Neil Simon is "Only When I laugh," based on his play.

"The Gingerbread Lady.'' The essential question the movie asks is: Cao a new coot of paint really cover the sad old stains of the past?

Marsha Mason plays the po-.·erful role of Georgia. a divorced actre.ss who has just completed l2 wee.ks in an alcoholism rehabilitation center--whi· ch she refers to as a ''dry-cleaning establishment.·· Kru-ty McNichol por· trays her daugh•ter Polly. who attempts to overcome old wounds of maternal rejection by moving in "ith her mother and gambling for a new together.

James Coco .and Joan Hackett an cast in supporting roles as Georgia's ·;wo closest friends. Toby (Hackett) is a flashy socialite who is obsessed with the fear of losing her beauty as she reaches ber 40th birthday, aod tries to offset the aging process with massive amQu11is of makeup. Equally eccentric but lastingly lo\>ing is rimmy (Coco). a middle-aged Italian gay who still yearns to become a big star. but now suffers the trauma of being rejected for a hemorroid commercial.

The central theme of the film is Georgia· s task of reassembling her life. A! the top of the bill is the task of becoming a responsive as well as a responsible m0-1ber for her daughter .

life

She must also deal with the questionable advances of an old lover who has written a ptay based on their rela.r ionshlp aod now wants Georgia in

the main role on opening night. Last but not least in the ooous old demon of alcohol.ism. which comes around to haunt her in what makes for some very dramatic scenes.

In true Neil Simon fashion. the sen:ing is New York, the city where anything can happen and DSually does io the most tragicomical way.

The acting is superb. Mason and McNichol make a triumphant s.u.c cess of the scenes they do together. Coco is very convincing both in bis compassion and in bis frustration. As for Hacken, the only real ?ity is that movie audiences see so little of her these doss.

Although the film contains a generous helping of endearing. Simonesque wit, it is perhaps the most serious

Bruce Lyon 'moves up' with maior league pact

by Barry Buer

Bruce Lyon, a second-year recruit for Coach Jacl: Bloxom's NJC baseball team, was signed to a professional bascbalJ contract with the New York Mets Sept. 19 by scout Roy Partee.

Lyon was playing for his hometown American Legion team last summer when Partee first saw Lyon play. Lyon was playing in the American Legion toumarnen1 held in Sheridan, Wyo. His team, Lethbridge. was awarded second place in the toumamCDt. "II feels great," Lyon nid. " I have a fol of preparations before reponing 10 camp," Lyon added, " Partee gave me a program to follow until reporting to camp in St. Pe1crsburg, Fla.. March 5."

Lyon will be leaving NIC at the semester break to visit his fa mily in Lcthbridge for the last cou pie o r months before going to St. Petersburg.

After spending some time in Lethbridge, he will train in Florida every day for a month and a halL The Mets organ izat io n will t he n decide which level of competition is right for Lyon. He could stay in Flonda and play in the winter league for four or five months. or he could be assigned to a minor league team similar lO that of the Spokane Indians rig.ht away.

There are three different levels of the minors: single A. double A and triple A. 'T m giving myself five years in the minor league." Lyon s:ud. " I have to pot through my mind that I'm as good as a ny of the othe r catche rs out there. " lf everything falls in place nanrraJJy and if he v.•ork.s hard, Lyon feels that live years should be enough time to make the big leagues.

However. signing the professional cont ract wit h the Mets made him

He added that if he wairs until he gradu111es from a four-rrar collt>ge he will be three vears older and have more cb;ince of injuries. ··Mom S3id it u·as up to me and that I should make the best choice.'' Lyon sa_id Blo.-.:om recruited Lvon last vear and . said he is glad for Lyon. " He would have been bencr off plnyiog one more ~ear bei:ai.:se bis value would ha,·e increnscd.

Fall baseball practice aids players in improving skills With nine returning lettermen for Coach Jack Bloxom's NIC baseball team. last year's 2S-18 record is looking toward improvement.

The fall b35eball program will give both the nine returning and the seven n~ly recruited ball players n chance to improve their abilities.

The nine returning players that will provide I.he lendership for the team 11te pitchers Dale Brekke, Greg'Frye and Dennis Rodda , third baseman Meryl.en Bunn;ige. firsr basemnn Lucky Larson, second baseman Darren Taylor. short· stop Ron Blasetti, catcher David ' fhompson and outfielder Stan Sawicki.

Blosom recruited seven new ball players for this yenr to help the team during the upcoming season. Blozom's recruiting style has proven to v. ork in the past simply because he uses the cross reference method.

The recruiting s1nrts by dc1.ormining whnt posllion, have to be filled for the upcoming SC3SOo. "Cross reference is 1hc best way to Find out if a boll player ls really going 10 be good for you," Bloxom said. " Any coach can say that they have just the right ltid for thai position. bul I would rather have a coach that has seen him piny before. If possible, I would lii'c to sec him play myself.''

"The key to t his year's s uccess depends on how well the frcshm11JJ pitchers can ndjust 10 college pitch· ing," Bloxom said.

Former Cardinal c111cher Bruce Lyon has signed with the New York Mets' form team 1his year (see related story on page 7), and it has made it difficult for Bloxom to find a catcher this late in the season.

The obo, c might not seem a stupid quest lCID tf the average "-IC \tudent happened 10 be ma ... heek:hair.

The law req1r.lns 'ilC alon~ • 1th most publk buildings. 10 be acce\ , 1ble 10 handicapped pt"rsons.

The la"' provides for ~emurung acttSsibili~ by surveying handicapped '1u.dcnts o:i c.arnpia and by standard, about 1hing1 sut.'i as pl:acemai: of ramps for wheelchairs.

Howe, cr. probabl) the bes: ,..,, :o de1ermme accessibilny 1s 10 get 10 a • httlcha1r and find out first hand That is "'hat 1tus "'Titer did for an e1gh1-hour school day on Sept 21 First. of course. is the stm.11 ~ner of gening to NIC. Theoretkally It 1s possible 10 use J • hct'lchair on public roads and sidewalks: In p~cticc, pothol~ and cracked co ncrete make suet- tu, cl nearly impossible. Therefore. a pcrwn in a "heek hau muSl either drh e 10 school or be dmcn.

Once he gets on campus. a special parring lot space is rese n ·ed for him. The rt,er,ed angle park ing so uth of Lee H.ill (the adrninisir:11100 building) is thoughtfull) designed \\1th about thrtt feet of space allo" ed bct" een C3r5. (One ,.onders though. "hy the hnnd1eapped parking on the dike roud 1s around 100 \':trd> 10 one of the dose doc:r... \\ hile sin ff and admt1115tr.llive parking um~ le~ than 15 yord~ from th:it same door.)

The importance of tha t three-foot space 1s 1mmcnse. It is frequently hard enough for a !)('r5"n who can walk to get out of car that is parted right next 10 another. Imagine sen111g up and na,ig~tmg a "'hcelchoir in the same plaC'C. The parallel parking spaces at the C3St side of the Student Union Building allow the necessary s1>3ce but ore not quite so thoughtfull) designed. if a person in a wheelchair drin•s 10 school and uses one of the spaces beside SU13. he must get out on the traffic side of his car.

Gening out on the 1r11ffic side is difficult enough for people who can dodge oncoming cars.

In tbeon, all thist is needed 10 alto" n= over a curb or a few steps 1s a ramp. In reality. ramps do not nccessibili1'' make.

Several of ,·he ramps at NIC have a one· 10 t\\O•inch curb at the end.

People "'ho .ire adept nt wheelchair dnv rn g frequently get o,•er such obstacles by raising their front whce1s and using onl~ the large rear wheels.

Popping "·hectics is not a safe practice. even for people "'ho can w:tlk .iway from a spill.

One of the best-designed ramps on campus is north of the Communication-Arts Building. The only problem is that the ramp is not 111 3 crosswalk or no-parking ione. so it is not uncommon to find a car blocking the ramp. The same is true of the ramp at the south"est comer of the soccer field. even though it is in a no-parking ione.

The ramp nt the southwest door of the administra· 110n building is dettpti\'e. It appears 10 be perfectly designed but 1s just a bit too steep. More than ooc-e going down it lhi!, writer found that he "'as no longer on four wheels. but on the rear wheels and footrests. "i th the front "'' heels fl~~pinj around in midair.

Spring-loaded. self-closing doors are a grea t convenience to people who are on foot. but the) make excellent wheelchair tr:1ps.

To get t hrough such doors. 3 person in a ,. heelchlllr must open the door fnr enough so his chair can be mO\·ed fol""1lrd far enough to block the door open. then alrenutely push the door open and the ch:ur forv, ard . It is Ill e:1Stly ma.sit.red ski II as long as there arc no Olher obstac:lcs.

The only other wny a pcrsoa in a wheelchlir can get 10 the SUB basement or upstairs In the gym Is to have friends who n_rc wllllng 10 carry him.

TRIAL BY WHEEL--CR featun .Edltor Bruce Padget heads cowanl another bulldln& darill& his day-long wbeelcb.air expcrlmenL

The above would 001 seem significant except for the fact that the only "ay to get upstairs in Lee Hall or the Library is to use the elevator in Seiter Hall. theo cross over on the w.illtway.

One of the first things a person notices when getting into a wheelchair for the first time is that he is qutte a bit shon er .

During bis time in a wheelchair this writer found t.hat he could reach most paper towel holders 4lld drinking founuuns and telephones. (However, he could not reach the higher shelves in the library.) A person shorter uun 5-fOOt· I I would not have been able to reach some of these essential 11ems from a wheelchair.

One wa} or another, a person in a wheelchair can get 10 almost all of the classrooms at NJC. bu t once he is there it can be difficult to get around.

Classrooms that have tables with chairs a.round them a.re no problem. but rooms equipped with desk~ha.tr C()mlnoatioas are a different story. A5 a rule. they a.re placed 100 closely together to allow :t wheelchair to move among them, and they cannot be used by n person that is sitting in a wheelchair.

At least lhrcc an:u or the college arc cowpledy closed to people io wheelchairs. F'lt'St of course. the Communicat.ion-Ans basement is inaccessible but that is not too important, considering that the only classes held there are dance classes.

Second. a person without the use of his legs

While trying to work his way through 1he periodical room in the library. this wra ier was stopped cold by a jungle of chnln;. People could not undersuind why he repeatedly asked them to move.

They apparently thought that be could squeeze through in the sp:tcc that he would have needed had be been on foot.

Frequently. people held doors for him. but as often as not, they did it 3S if he was not in the chair: Thnt is, they held the door until be could get a ht111d on it, then let go. The effon was appreciated, buc it was more frumaling than helpful.

Many minor collisions and near misses we re caused simply ~use people did 001 see him: They expeeted 10 encounter people five· to su•feet tall. not four-feet tall.

The accessibil11y of NIC 10 handicapped persons could be improved greatly by o few simple changes: --The problems noted above with ramps an~ other physical facilities should be corrected. but II will take some money.

--Classroom furniture should be rearranged to allow wheelc:hairs 10 enter without needing to push desks a.side.

U one cleflnes "accessibility" as the ability to be reached. then NJC is. [or the most part, accessible to handicapped persons. However. the in_conveoi~ involved in getting around campus IS definitely greater than necessary.

College offers new archaeological dig course

by Paa! Buer

An archaeological dig in Post Falls will be the project undertaken this semester in a new course being offered by the antbropoloBY department.

Anlhropology 230. "Field Study in Arch aeology."' will be taught by Richard " Dute·· Snyder. NIC anthropoloBY ins-1ructor.

According to Snyder. the opponuni1y ror the dig came about when the town or Post Falls decided to establish a park around Treaty Rock.

The rock is actually the deed. signed in 1871 by Frederick Post and Chief Selticc or !he Coeur d'Alene Indians, which transferred the Indian land to Pos1. The rock still carries the original inscriptions.

"The dig will provide the students with practical experience in field and laboratory techniques in uchacology." Snyder said.

It will also provide a community service 10 Post Falls since it will 1101 cos1 the town anything. All artifacts found will be donated to lhe town and may possibly be put on display in the park.

Before 1hey 3ctually stan work on the dig. lhe students will visit local

mn5eums 10 inspect authentic Indian artifuu.

"This will give th.em an idea of what to be looking for." Snyder said.

The course will also include labora1ory work in which lhe srudenlS "''111 wash :llld classify anifaas and prepare da1a 10 be processed bji a computer. h is hoped the compute:r will help the students to interpret their findings and aid in finding reluionshrps among the antfacts. ·• An archaeological site is no differ· ent than a two-bedroom house." ' Snyder said. •• Every room has i1s purpose. and all articles in the room usually relate to each other. h"s how they relate lhat makes them impor· 1an1.·· The 20-member class will meet every Saturday in OctobC'r at 1he site if weather permiL\. The rest of 1he time will be spent on laboratory "'ork.

Visuors will be "'elcome at the sne.

Snyder says he hopes the studen1s come ou1 of the class wi1h a beuer concept of history:· The course i~ scheduled for this fall only. bu1 if enough interest is shown. i1 could be offered next fall.
