Ho~·c,·cr, I mu.st really question prlorllles when \isions of headline!> concerning the ne,1 \\Orld war bombard mv thoughts.

But then. \\ hen the "orld is roming to an end , will it really man er if President Rcag:in just made :i new mo, ie and that Nancy just remodeled the Whn c Hou~e in 1~th centUf)' European (and. can you imagine. w11hou1 the ronsent of RoS3lynl' Therefore. m the spirit of ronforrnit). I propose the follow;ng guidelines for electing future presidents.

First. e,ery candidate should, of course. ha\'c some type of "thing" in h1!> past that he is thorough!) :1shamed of. This shouldn't be 100 difficult since most people tyes. e\'en us common folk! ha\'e something they would rather not see in print.

Sec-ondlJ. be should ba, e "close friends " around on his staff or \\Orking someho,, in the White House that can reveal all these li11le ni11~·-grin) nems.

Third!). his family should be somewhat interesting. although they mustn't be 100 revolting: the people do get rired of too many presidential famil) headlines.

Finally. he should have the capaci~· to tmd din about others who just might need a little humbling now and then. One never kno,\s when be rnJY ha\'C to dra" upon the depths of his soul 10 ftnd good din.

These guidelines rouJd e,en replace those outmoded ones in the Constitution that are ~ncemed with such tra.Shable items as what age he must be and so forth. Younger persons can be just as scandalous as older ones (although che older ones have had more opponuniries).

With a little ~ork. the National Enquirer could be the official press release for the nation. Preferably. a "Dig and Smear Committee" would also be formed.

Oh . b) the way. have you heard the latest about George Bush?

Sadat--one of a kind Doe,n ·1 11 JUSI figure?

Anwar Sadat was the o nly Arab leade r who. in nearly a half century of Middle East violence. led his cou ntry 10 make an oe1unl peace agreement wnh Israel and recogniLed Israel'~ right to cxit.t.

Sadat will be remembered for his boldnesc; and courage in reversing a decadCS·old national policy of genocide and in creating the first normal d1plomatic relations with the J ewish state-in s pite of the isolation from and criuc1sm by the rest or the Arab world that still clings 10 a policy of hate.

more opm1ons CR reader levels criticism at reverse sexism editorial Dear editor: Re Bruce Padget's opinion on equal rights for men. he fails to relate to her feelings; I don '1 know.

"A Pai r of Silk Stockings. " H written in unenlightened times. maybe lhe woman's husband was nor a good provider. I kbow neither 1he ini.tr uctor nor rhe female studenrs; in foci , I wasn't even in the class, bui perhaps the men in class did have a prejudice against the story.

Who wrote 1he s lory? Unfortunately, many men and women sull relate to the world the way lhey we re t rained, programmed and dirtaled lo (by parents trained 50 years ago ). and cannot go beyond s1ereo1yped images of e mo1ional women or calculating men.

Maybe the story wab written by a female. and the me n could not relate to her feelings: I don't know.

I do know men have not allowed lhem1elve11 lo feel. since men have been making the rules for n long

time. Now they're (so me , few ) finding out the benefits don't always add up.

I find people who feel threatened by the truth to be defensive of the old mores (w hich are no"" in question) concer ning ""ho does uhimately benefit. Women ha\·e historically been denied economic, political. marital and civil rights. and the 1848 Declaration of Senti· ments ceriainly is worth mentioning; women may have gained in tho'ie fou r areas of status. but the basic nuitudc towards us is still the same. Watch TV any prime time hour. Or look at Madison Avenue advenising.

The answer 10 discrimination.

1rue. is not revenge. But the worst is to expect the opressed to PROTECT the opressors!

The Cardinals traveled to LaGrande. Ore.• Oct. 3 to compete in the Eastern Oregon State College Invitational 11gainst George Fox. Whitman, Northwest Naz.crene and Eastern Oregon Colleges.

The Cards regained their title from last year by posting a win with 29 points over second place Eastern Oregon. with 36 points. NIC's second squad captured third with 72 points.

Sophomore Mike Friess had an excellent day with a run of 26:03. enabling him to capture second place. while teammate Jesse Gore turned in a strong third.

Cardin.ii Joe Alward finished sixth over freshman Mike Eggleston. who captured seventh place with a time of 26:40. Teammate Jerry Arledge followed closely behind with his eighth place finish.

Coach Mike Bundy commented on the fine performance turned in by freshman Suzie Muwell. who captured third in the women's run.

The Cards lost 10 Treasure Valley two weeks ago in the Walla Walla Invitational. but are optimistic about facing them ag3m.

Natural chemical 'high' for runners b) Bruce Mul len If n college student Y.ere :i.skcd at a pany ir he Y.anted 10 "get high." he "ould no doubt be surprised to have a pa,r of runmng ~hoes thrust upon him soon aher.

Yct 10 ~omc ex1cn1 this. is "hat is happening all o,er Amenta. People a.re turning from drugs 10 runnmg. in 3n eITon 10 find that highly-acclaimed "runner's high."

Ever since the sport of runn ing became popular. one ques11on hu puzzled more people than any other " Why do people run'" run '!

Many solutions have been proposed. but one that pre)en1s the mos1 credibility in\·ohes a drug that is produced inside 1he runner's body and c3uses the sough1 after "high.·· The drug ls known as beta-endorphin, and is produced in the p1tuitar) gland when the body is under psycho· logical or physical stress. h ser\'es :i.s a natural analgesic. relie,ing pain and inducing a stnte of euphoria.

When endorphins are released. respirntion and blood pressure arc re· duccd. 1he bod\•'s motor oc1io.,i1ies are calmed, and th e pain 1hreshold is mcrcased. This enables the runner 10 run fnsier and more pleasan1ly, by decreasmg states of depression and

allo.,. ing him 10 ignore pain.

Mari Colton, :s local n:ercauonal runner, a nests 10 this.

"Sometimes I don't really feel like runninJZ," he )nid, "but then I get out there. and 11 all changes. My body s1aru pumpmg and I just feel great." " It ·s 1he same " i1h inju ries:· be added. ··If I have II sore leg or stiffDess and go runnmg an)-WS). I seem to forget about it after a fe>< miles."

Since C.B. U dlsco•ettd endorphins in 1964, many s1udies ha\•e been performed with them. They ha\·e been found to affect mood and sleep panerns. to regulate temperature. 10 restore memory in senile subjects o.nd 10 reli~e disuess in menu1.lly rearded people.

One or the most beneficial uses has been in the area of rreaung schizo.. phrenics. T"o physiologists. ~athan S K.Jinc and Henry Lehmo.n. injected IS milligrams of the subruutcc into subjects and found that it ehmina1cd the typical hallucinations of a ~hlZOpbrenic for up to four 10 si.t hours.

Split season to stay?

The illustrious sport of professional b:i.seball has recently been the object of quite a bi1 of media anention. as the 1hre3t of no world series this year loomed O\'er the heads or e,·ery baseball fan in the world.

The player-owner strike did have some negative effects on jus1 about everybody involved in baseball. The players lost money. the owner lost money. the managers lost money and the fans were deprived of a great American tradition just when it su1ned 10 get interesting.

But the strike could have had a positive effect which migh1 just develop in10 a baseball tradition. righ1 along with loud,mourhed managers and bulging cheeks.

What about a permanent break In the season?

Yes. i1 is true that the strike caused a few problems in figuring out just ,-•ho should go 10 the playoffs and in tallying up the baning. fielding and pitching slots.

But that is only becnuse the split was unexpected and no one was ready 10 eome up with a fair plan to eope with the problem.

If the first season s1atistics "'ere all added up and all the usual honors were awarded. the snme process could be repeated after lhe next season.

There Is sure to be opposition to the split-sea.son theory. bu1 one group or players who "ould be apl 10 support the idea a.re pitchers.

A chance to rest their arms and recuperate from lhe someumes devasming effect of hurling a baseball at 90 miles ao hour plus would surely be welcomed by pitchers.

And wha1 abou1 the managers? Most managers abuse their vocal chords so much during the sea.son that 11 chance 10 merely tali and 1101 scre:im could not only be beneficial 10 them bu1 also IO the officials. who could take ou1 their ear plugs for a while.

The strike l35ted nbout seven weeks. and if trult was cut down 10 a month, it would be one or the beSt ideas in baseball since Reggie \.

Rope, rock, chocks: idiocy or sport?

by Bruce Padgel ··Belay on? .. ··Beby on l'· .. Ready 10 1estl"

··rest! .. ·'Testing! .. .. Ready to climb! .. .. CUmbl .. ''Oimbing!''

This lillle ri1uaJ can be heard d uring good weather anywhere there is a rock. It is the sci of signals exchnnged by rockcllmbers a1 the beginning of a section of a climb.

Ah, yei., rockcll mblng. Sligh1ly disreputabl e looking characters with three-day-old growths of beard . Volun1ary socia l oo tcas1s with s uicidal te ndencies who s-ay . .. because it's there ...

While few rockclimbers would wan1 to deny this hard -earned roman1ic im age, ii just is not true. Al one time . rockclimbing was a spon for the person bent on self-destruction, but tha nks 10 improved technology and techniques, it can be done by nearly anyone. n,erc are 1hree basic 1ypes of rockclimbing: free, solo and aid climbing. ln free climbing, the climber climbs on the rock itself. using techniques 1ha1 arc well-known to any four-year-old who likes to climb cab inets .

In clas& 4 free climbing. or balance climbing. the climber uses small ledges or nu bbi ns of rock. 11.nd climbs them in 1he same manner as ooe would climb a suircasc or a ladder.

In class 5 or stress climbing, 1he climber holds hl mself to the rock by mean.s of his own strength. ''Jamming" bv wedging feet nnd lists into crncks in the rock and "~cmming" up rock chimneys by pushing on e's back and feel agains t opposite s ides of 1he chimney are typical e xomple~ of ~'tress climbing .

In both types of free climbing the cli mbing rope is used only 11s a )Ofcly device should B cl imber foll.

Aid climbing. nbo known as class 6. is used whe n there are not sufficient handholds or footholds to allow free climbing.

In 11id climbing, the leader on the rope places on anchor in the rock 10 which he anaches a three- or four-step nylon rope ladder called 11n cm cr. He climbs the ctrler as high as possible and then places another anchor and et rier.

The other members of the rope tea111 follow the leader by moving up the rope with ascenders. which ore C)Sen1i111Jy rope clamps with s tirrups attached.

In so lo climbing. frequ e ntly miscall ed free climbing. the same climbing technique is U.'>Cd as in cla..,scs 4, 5, nnd 6. but no s11fc1y rope is used.

The rope is used 10 Mop foJls by a means known ns beh1ying .

The principle of belaying is best )Um med up by an old joke s hared by r timbcr, ~kydiver.. nnd onyon e else who deals in heights: ··1 don' t mind falling: it 's l:inding 1h01 SC:lr~ me. " The bclaycr 1$ anchored to the rock. and the climbing rope run~ from the anC'h or, through one of the bclayer's hands, around his hips, through his Other ha~d and 10 the climbers. (When the length of the rope is used up, climber and belayc r trade jobs.)

The bclaycr must be rcadv 111 all times to lllke in slack. pay it out or hold n f; ll, The belaycr is told what 10 do by belaying signals. some of which arc at the beginning of this anicle. q~~ tloa cllnibeni :ire fTCquenlly wed :11 this pomt 1s What good is it to belay a ""l"'IOn from ,.. below?"

The lead climber. I~ he feels it is needed. places anchors In the rock ai mtcrvals. The rope is attached to the anchors by carabiners or snap links, so it ca.n

run freely. If the leader foils. the last !lllChor. if it is sound, actS as a pi,..ot point Rathe r than falling l\\ ice his distance above the bclaver. he falls rwicc his distance atxr.e the 1:ist sou;d anchor-.i potentially sen ous :iccident. but :it leas, the climber does not bit bonom.

Perhaps the most hnportanl advance in climbing is "clean .. climbing. Only 3 dec3de ago. the main type of roc:k anchor in moSt of the world was the piton.

Pitons are tapered steel spites thal arc driven into cracks in the rock .

Because pitons 3J'e dri,..en mto CTacks which are narrower than the piton. remo, al of the pi1ons le:ivcs scars in the rock .

Some climbers a\oided m3king scars by leavi ng their pitons in. It soh ed 1hc scar problem. bu1 climbing a cliff studded with pitons feels :ibout as adventurous as b3ckpacking along 3 highwa) .

Se,·cral decades ago, English climbe rs, more for econom,cal th3n ecological re aso ns. made ve ry sound anchOr'i by placing pebbles and machine nuts in CT11cks. :ind tying ropes 1hrough or .iround them.

Soon. mount:iineenng shops "ere selling all kinds of tapered objects \\llh straps or C3blcs. desipned 10 be jammed inio crlcks. 8 CC11use 1hey "'ere p:me med after chodmoncs and machine nu~. thev are kno" n as chocks or nu1s. · Though chocks were still :i ne" idea in the Unired S101es only 10 years ago. the) are no" the most commonly ~ed ty·pe of anchor.

Se\eral types of cle11n climbing eq uipme nt tso-c:uled because II does not scar the rock) ha\'e been in.,.ented rcccnih·. but most are \•nri:itions on the basic chocl ide3. · Most climbers are now mostly clean climbers.

Besides ecological reasons. chocks arc easier to use· It takes much experience to pl.ice a piton properly. but placing choch is governed by common sens<.> .

M3ny clambers sec a philosophical ad, an1age in chocks. They see the differcnc-e between puons and chocks as the difference bet\\ cen bru1e fortt :ind 1hough1.

There alwa)S exists the qucsllon: Why climb?

Some of the reasons given are o love of danger, 11 lbeination v.ith climbing equipment nnd techniques or CDJO) ment of n challenge.

The best reason is probobly still. ··because it's there."

Some people jusl cannot go by anything .,.enital v.;thou1 w3nting to climb it.

This leads 10 a second common ques1ion: Who C'3n climb? There arc man)· misconceptions abou1 the answer. Among them: - - "Clim.bing Is onlJ' for the rich. " A person can bu> for S200 all the equ ipment that is needed for most climbing.

In :iddition, there is o type os climbing known 3S bouldenng. which consim of climbing smaller rocks such as the ones on Tubbs Hill. and requires no equipment other than a good pair of tennis shoes.

- - "Olmblog Is only for the extremely 61."

Though il is a good 1de3 10 be io fair shape. the ability ro do SO one-handed chinups is not needed.

-"Climbing Is for the gutsy/ (oollwd)." True. some climber\ are foolh a rdy . However , good climbers Ima,,, the lim1tations of themselves and their equipment and the) only e:cceed those bmil.4uoau in emergencies.

Roct chmbers are not super-human m the courage depa r tmen t. fa en the best cli mbers ha\·e been known to lose their nerve and hl\•e to be "talked do"' n ."

Vinually every clunber ltnows ··a friend of a friend " who has been t ille d o r permanent ly dis abled in a cli mbi ng acciden1. How~ er . mos1 climbing mishaps ca.n be l?llCCd to 11.n error on the climber's pon.

Such errors C''1D be almost elimina ted by teaming to climb from experienced climbers. by rending good climbing texts such as " B:isic Roekcraft " by ~oynl Robbins and ··ell.Sic Mounulinecring' ' by the S1err11 O ob. by knowing one·s limil.4tions and by never exceeding them.

"'011r trouble is Dot that we arc not de, eloping good writers: It is 1h111 we are DOI educatmg people so they can "Tile: well enough 10 tcep a Job."' As English Di..-1sion Chainnn_n at NIC. V"irginill Johnson deals with milny studenlS· abilities and mabiliues in writing. She and her staff are commincd 10 improving NIC's methods in teaching langu.age skills.

English I00 is :1 class designed to tench basic wriung skills with which many students are ha,•ing problems. Before this course was established , Johnson said, one-ih1rd to one-half of the students entering directly int0 English IOI were ..lost...

Along "•ith the more basic course. the English ploccment tests were begun in order to delermine indi..-idual studcnlS' ability levels. "'I wnnt 10 tnow what my studcnlS don't know...

To this end a more recent trial by scribbling has come to be. During the first week of English 101 each student ~ites t1 short sample css.iy. Toes~ essays arc cnmmcd. not by one, but by at least l\<o members of the English faculty to determine the student" s level of aptitude.

In oddition to lhe usual ocadcm,c fare. NIC is equipped w11h the Academic Resource Center (ARC) under the Division of De,•elopmental Educ111ion. The ARC is designed to bear students up through nooc1~ of persistent problems with teaming or 10 ennble tho~c with no \erious troubles 10 ~harpen their study skills.

Accordintt to ARC' Director Shc1ln Hohmnn. different smucgle~ for lcnrnlnt1 nre oflen required for different people. nnd n need for help does not indicate that n \tudent is stupid.

"NIC' hos an open-door policy," Hohman soid. "'Our JOb is to sec lhnt ii doesn't become n revolving door ...

Hohman went on 10 soy thn1 approximately 400 student~ ore serviced each 1enr nt the ARC and Lhot about 10 tulors ore hired to help with the individuall1ed instruction.

Deon of Ins tru ction Ruy Stone ~aid that the literacy problems 111 NIC arc pretty lyplcal or colleges everywhere. " More students arc less prepared now," Stone snid. "but the Resource Center helps pick up the gaps in their learning."

Stone olso said lhot by using pre-courses, a student"~ retention rate is increased. Re added that there has been a very good response 10 the courses offered and the system is, on the whole, a good use of u1.xpayers' money.

Although stud ents have been the target of most studies on poor language skills, other segments of society arc by no means immune to mistakes.

A quotation from an informa tional pamphlet distributed by Lhe ARC reads. " . .. Two hour.. per week at the Ac.idcmic Resource Cenler can make your college work nlot easier...
