Students won't support tuition-raising proposal

by Celeste Tritz

The NIC librar} proposal has been a cooa:m for both the students and facuJ. ty, according to Pat Reilly. ASNIC

president.

A resolution that would grant NIC the privilege to borrow Sl.9 million from a bank docs not guanntcc that the state Legislature would support the funding of S178,000-annual interest based on a 30-yenr loan.

The burdent of pa)'lTlem would then be put on the students and facull)'.

The students (represented by ASNI C) "'ere v. omed that a tuiuon increase. csumated to be S30-S35 per year, could be le-i ed. The faculty held the position t.h:11 if this proposal was passed. a s.1lary decrease-equal to ,1 di5m1ssal of 11 faculty posit.ions- also could be msugated, freshman senator Michelle Cosse:te ~id.

The anitude of the lcgulature to allo" the student< and faculty the burden of pa~ mcn1 t< "rong. according to \Opbomorc ~n.11or Vicki Cade. " This IS a commumt, college and the n ate mould be the one to take r~pon\tbtlit~ for pa,mcnt." ~he ,nid.

On Feb. 10. the board of trustees met 10 discuss the libraf) issue. Deliberation over whether the board should support the present proposal or not drc,, teachers, facult) and AS IC members to the meeting.

Bcnneu discussed accrcdi1ation problems in relation to the inlldequate libraf)' S)ISltm. but the main concern for members of the board and those in lll· tcndance dealt with the S178,000.

Although Bcnncu talked about the possibilty of being put on accreditntion probation due to tht' libror) ·s inadequacy. Cade said in an emergency ASNIC meeting that the concern for accredication "as not C\'cn a concern.

Trustee Bob Ely questioned wh>• lhcre was so much deliberation O\Cr chc proposal when it is obvious 1h01 NIC nreds a ne" o r re\'ised library.

Positive reinforcement effective in fighting drugs

by Kim Hester

Although a study was done b>• law enforcement officials stating that one in 10 young people become alcoholics, academic adviser Bob cwcU coo1ends that nine out of ten don't. It all depends on the informa· tional impact, he said.

"We can moralite. manipulate. or modelmodeling being the more effective way." be said.

Society is structured for the negative, but negativeness is not the key, Newell said. Positi,e rcin forcment is more effective.

5 million attend in 1987

by Steve Davis More than 5 million students oncnded cndit classes at community. technical and junior colleges in J987, according to the American Association of Community Wld Junior Colleges (AACJC). and I'll C's 10 percent rise in enrollment during '87 helped to swell these numbers.

"More and more Americans are choosing community colleges for their educational needs. Our ability 10 pro,•ide diverse programs and specialized scnices at an affordable price is just exactly "hat Americans want," A.ACJC President Dale Parnell said.

"There is literally somelhing for e\'eryone a1 o community college. Some students enroll in transfer programs that allow student to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate degree at a fraction of the cost of auending a four-year se:hool," be said. " Many students prefer 10 complete a technical= program. which leads to imm~iatc: employment in high demand fields like nurnng and computer pogrammiog. Others attend these colleges for personal enrichment or career advaru:emcot.

"We are proud of our students :lDd 1he quality of services our institutions provide." Parnell said. "We invite all Americans to join wi1h win cclebraliog Na tional Community College Month."

NIC panicipo1ed in Community College Month ,,.,; ,h several acti•~tics organized by the public relations office. President Roben Bennett held a series of breakfast meetings with local business leaders. Four guest editorials. written by NIC faculry members. ran in a local newspaper 10 highlight the colkge·s roles m the community. ."~Ve hope people will have :i better undmtooding of the communn) colleges role within the communiL) because of them (promotional ac1ivi1es), .. StC\ e Schenk, dean of public affairs, s.iid.

Prr:vention is supposed to be done In the first 1hrough fourth grades," Newell said.

"Trying 10 steer someone wrth your voice is like try• ing to drive a cow with a horn-they don't listen," he added.

"If you really have been brought up and undcrs· tand how important it is to love yourself, I don't real· ly thw that you want to do terrible things 10 that citadel (body)," he said.

Potatoes

Grandma plays no favorites with chocolate spuds

"Where ya all from?" " Idaho."

"What state·s that in?"

"No, Idaho is a state. It's next to \\ 11.Shington."

"What. Washington, D.C.?"

"No, Washington state on the West Coast.''

Blank look.

"You know. Idaho. The capital 1s Boise. Lhe potato state."

"Oh potatoes.. .Tdaho. Ya. Cecil Andrus 1s the governor, right."

I was shocked that someone who had no clue that Idaho even existed could suddenly associate potatoes with the state's governor. I didn't kno"' the governor of Missouri as I sat in the lobby of :i St. Louis hotel speaking with an Easterner. I still don't.

I lef1 and took the elevator to my room, still awed that this man who lived thousands of miles from Idaho knew who the state's governor is. I sat in my room watching some awful horror flick when the program broke for an advertisement.

Then I saw it.

On the screen was Cecil and the stcreot)'Pical perfect grandmother in a grocery store picking out potatoes-Idaho potatoes.

I screamed.

People, like the man I before thought was ~ome crazed political buff, might think I was a spud or something. If they only knc11 that as a child

m) favomc game 11,,as \Ir. Potato Head and m, fa.,,onte candy bar "'as lhe Idaho Spud. faen on Easter, v.hen all of m> cousins from Montana a.nd Oregon got chocolate bunnrs from Grandma. m) brOUlttS and I got chocolate potatoes. fl wasn't that old Grandma favored m) fa.nul), it was just th.al she hved m another state. and the onl) Lh.ing s.bc k?KW v.e v.ould like for sure-other than perhaps some stnpcd polyester pants-was potatoes. After all. "'C did hie in Idaho.

Maybe Grandma sa"' the commerctal featur ing Andrus and the famous potat<>-manufoctunng state. And if she sa"' the commercial, I wonder how man) others did or will. Instead or m1U, chocolate potatoes, it's h.3rd to sa) what others may seod to....,ard Idaho.

Maybe the) ·u!,Clld our c.,por1ed potatoes back to their home muc so genuine Idahoans won't have to pay so much for them. It's no wonder the state farms so man} of the ,cgctables. They're so high pnced m thi ~l3tc-cspccially in thl) sta te-that c1U1el1) trunk they better go home and grow their o"' n ,pud\ !o \3\ c pennies-at least m North Idaho.

And ii the} ·re sucti gr~I potato farmers, "'hY are the) ha1ing to ;a,c pennies? Maybe it's because the logging industry hasn't been raking in too man} bucks tbc l.ut se,·eraJ years. \\'ait a minute, the logging industry? That

Shelly raynor ~houldn't mn~c a difference. we're the potato statc-a.rcn·t we?

I tried 10 c,plntn to the Easterner that it wa~ Southern Idaho which produced all of the potatoes. but he didn't undcr,tond. A state that wunded like Idaho? He thought I was getting confused .... uh Iowa or Ohio.

I gll\C up. I told the man he'd have to visit North Idaho to appreciate its natural beauty of wildcrnns, and I made it clear I didn't mean wild potatoes r don't worry about the commercial anymore either. I figure at least Idaho is getting some pubhc11y. I may e11cn help ad11crti~c fort he state.

The next time I'm ,rying to cross the Callfor· nia border and they a,k if I have any citrus fruit I'll tell them, "No, just potatoes."

They'll surely know where I'm from. and when they start to chuckle, 1'll just reply "In Idaho, Californians arc known for their driving."

Real rock n' rol l rockers' responsibility ..-------------------------..

ken a11 en , A cause finally has come to this neck of woods that's worth fighting for. and it's also possibly obtainable to boot. o more do we. as concerned citizens, have 10 waste our breath, or ink. on trying 10 right wrongs that arc seemingly unright.ablc, because now the task of doing right is up to us.

I'm not talking about righting the wrongs of cveryday life we arc forced to deal with, because as we've all learned, that is an iropossibiJjty.

If you need a few gigantic potholes in froo1 of your home repaired, forget it. If you havcn·1 noticed lately, most of the meets in Coeur d'Alene arc composed more of bole than surface.

Expecting 1he ciry of Coeur d'Alene to repair the streets io such a manner lhat they remain iotacl for more than two months is like expecting the city fathers to actually Lake the protests of citizens who criticize their surprisingly pro-business attitude<. sc.riously And how about those North Idaho drivers? Arc )'OU considering doing something about the incredibly inadequate driving skills of mos~ of our fellow neighbors, li.ke maybe having anyone who oo the average drives 5 mph below the posted speed limit hung from the occk until.d~ ..-or I mean hal'ing a law created that maoda1cs them to take a dnVJng test each year in order for them to maintain their driving pri\'iledgcs-you can forstet that dream too.

Since the number of registered voters with good driving skills is probably only a quarter or all the registered voters who drive. your chances of getting this sane law passed are totally insane.

Granted, this nt'A obtainable cause doesn't have the social significance of the above craziness, but it is obt.ajnable-as long as we all actively parucipate.

It won't change anyones way of life, but II will bring a small ray of sunsruoe to this area. I'm of course talking about the Van Halen, Scorpions. Dokken. and Mctallica concert that could come 10 Spokane's Joe Alb1 stadium.

Slated for Lhis summer. the outdoor concert could pos\1bly be the greatest music event to hit this area since-well since forever!

All we as concerned citizens and concert-goers need to do is send postcards. around 40,000 postcards, 10 KEZE, Rock 106 in Spokane.

The address is P.O. Box 8007. 99203.

As college studcots, it is our obligation 10 sec 10 it tha1 this incredible right, our right to rock n' roU, is not wronged simpl)' because we don·, feel like wasting 22 <%DIS for a postage stamp.

To aU you indhiduals who bitch and moan about how no one good ever comes io concert 10 this area, I say put your 22 cents where your mouth is-and send io those postcards.

The opportunity for us to band togc1her and figh1 for somethingbasically the supcrcbarg.ed rock of Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagarbas been given, and now it's up to us to sec we don't blow i1. .

Just think, if we get Lhese four super bands to play i.n Spokane this summer, other bands might notice. And they 100 could come to this area to play. And tbeo we as college students. community members and In· land Empireites finally would bave won a cause t.hat was worthy of us.

So. scod io Lhose postcards. There must be at least 1,000 students at NIC who appreaciate good rock. and all those mu.sic lovers shouldchange that to bcncr-splurgc oo a postcard and a st.amp. .

It would really make for a grca1 addition 10 summer. In fact, 1Sn'1 this kiod of concert what a great summer is alJ about?

Sure it isl It's rock n' roll!

I is for inadequate.

B is for books.

R is for remodel.

A is for answers.

R is for reconsLrUct. Y is for yesterday.

Our inadequate library is too little to hold a lot of books, so we designed a recoosLrUction of the buildfog we needed yesterday but djdn't gel. Today we're looking for other answers and consideriog remodeling.

So, what's the hold-up?

Money is a possibility. Nobody seems to be willing to flit the SI .9 million bill to expand the book jungle. The Legislature sajd the stale would give NIC the money, paying back SI 78,000 a year for 30 years If it could afford iL If the state wasn't able to put the thousands of dolJars toward the Ubrary fund on any particular of the years, NIC somehow would have to find the money. So, it's proposed that the students, through increased tuition, pay for the library. The student board says, "No way, it isn't the students' responsibilily to pay for a building."

Teachers don't want the money taken from their salaries (ineluding interest, amounting lo $5 milUon from teachers' beefy salarics-H a!), and taxpayers won't pass a bond levy; they think they're already paying too much toward education. Even Coeur d'Alene High School is double-shifting.

So money-or lack of-is one possible reason why the college's library is $0 ~rossly inadequate and secminlllY staying that "a), but la1iness is probably a better explanation.

While instructors suggest tha1 the college needs a ne\\ librar)otherwise referred 10 ~ the heart of a $Chool-s1udents polled b) ASNIC revealed 1ha1 Ihey feel the hbrar) is average.

How can s1uden1s rate a library-a library that outside officiab hove sugge~ted would cause NIC to C\'entuall) lose its accrcdida1ion if not expanded-average?

Perhaps 11 \ because 01her than an occasional English I~ class, studen1 s :m· not required to use the library. lrmructon, just don't assign work that mvoh•es research.

They have a fine excuse no1 to. The college doesn't ha,e great

That's a harsh a.~sumption to make. Some elementary teachers do the ~ame \\ hen 1hey push a firs1 or second grade student who can't read into the ne~l grade, figuring again that the slack will be pulled up b) someone else. What usually follows are mothers or fathw, asltamed that they can't even manage 10 read their child a bedume story.

Something :;1milar is likely to happen when NIC students transfer to a university or continue on to graduate school.

This college's library facilities may not be the best, but they're good enough to teach students. Not because the sLUdents are not the best, but because insuuctors need to use 1he resources and their abihues the best the}' can.

I Political game-playing draws Marcy back to teaching I by

David Gunt er

NIC chcmlstr)' instructor Dale Marcy r~1gned hi\ position in the research laboratory ;u the Hanford facility bcc3usc of o connict between ~encc ~d polit1cs.

The Hanford N-rcactor had not come under the cloud of the Chernobyl accident: nor had n fallen anto the poliucal disfavor that resulted in the rCCC11t decision to mothball the project.

Marcy. 38, felt that political issues "'ere overshadowing the advance or scientific concerns.

"I was working on the basalt waste isolation project at Hanford. the one that concerns the evaluation or the Hanford basalts as a nuclear waste rcpositor)'," Marcy said. "I figured out that the project was going nowhere-the time-lines were slipping, and all the good science was being clouded by polities."

Dissa1jsfaction with that situation led the scacnust 10 resign and begin looking for "something else 10 do." "l did some consulting work while I looked for a permanent position." he said, "but that's a liule b11 long-<listo ncc between jobs. Even if the salary is good, you can get pretty hungry in bet,.ccn."

Falling back on ht~ previous teaching e,pencncc, Marcy tool.. the position of chemistry irutructor at NIC. He prev1ou5ly had taught at the Universit) of Idaho m the plant, soil 3nd animnlogical science~ dcpanmcnt between 1980-82.

"I decided that l 'd like to go bacl, into teaching in· stead of worl..ing as a lob super. isor or something lil.c thnt, which were m) other JObs." he said.

Marcy feels that the closure of the Hanford re.actor was based solely on politics.

"Anytime you're dealing witli the production of plutonium to make bombs. that's all politics," he said.

"Scientists don't do thing.s like that; it's politicians that decide to do that. They just hire scientists 10 figure out how. So the decision is I00 percent politics. That's the nature or the game. " Marcy added that any decision about whether to operate 1he reactor was not based on technology but was arrived at through political means. He attnl>utes the closure, at least in pan, to the fact that Washington lost its two senior Senators, causing a loss of political clout needed to keep money flowing into the state for projects such as Hanford.

According to Marcy, the discussion of safery at Hanford, panicutarly after the accident at the Chernobyl reactor in the Soviet Union, is a political smoke screen. '"The tcchnolog)' of the two reactors is very dif· fcrent," be explained. "In the science arena it's been pretty wcU established that the problems 11t Chernobyl would not occur at Hanford. That's not to say that there arc not potential problems for a reactor that bas passed its life apcctancy:·

Happy days - - Chemistry Instructor Dale Marcy is happy teaching

at NIC af1er leaving his Job at Hanford because of politics.

Marcy pointed out t.ha.t he is criucal of the N-reactor operation but not for re.a.sons of safety.

"I Just don 't think 11,e need more plutonium, .. be Sllid. "I think we h.i!ve plenty in the United State5."

During his tenure at Hanford, Marcy "'-as not involved with the plutonium production facility. His

" I figured all the good science was bei ng clouded by politics." work centered mainly on looking for a repository of chilian nuclear w11stc. a by-product of producing nuclear pov.-er.

Ma.king the move from the front lines of the scientific world back into 10 the classroom is so=thing

Marcy doesn't regret. The JOb has its share: of cnallcngcs, one of which is keeping up with the latest scientific and teehnologica.J devtlopmcni,.

"Science ts moving so rapidly lha1. it's very dHficult to maintain current information with the work load that we have here," Marcy said. ''To do a good job in the fwure I have to nay cunent with advances In tcch.oology. It maxes for long days and shon nlgb u."

Marcy has a home in Bonner's Perry with his wife and two young sons. At present he stays in Coeu r d'Alene during Lhe week and commutes home on weekends. He plaru to move his famjly cl0$Cr 10 NIC next yeai so that it can be "more consolidated."

Even with the long hours and the challenges of keep-

ins up with scientific progrcu. Marcy r«ts good about bis position in the NIC Science Department.

"It', a good job," he said. "I enjoy it."

Poitier, Berenger team up for wilderness cop-thriller 'Shoot'

by Tim Clemensen

After 12 years away from being on screen, actor Sydney Poitier has returned to lhe career lhat woo him an Oscar in 1963 in the stunning new cop-thriller "Shoot 10 Kill" from the Disney production company, Touchstone Pictures.

Poitier stars as FBI special agent Warren Stantin, who is chasing after a ruthless killer who slipped through his hands in San Francisco.

The killer is poruayed b)' Clancy Brown (who was lhe evil character Kurgan in "The Highlander''). Brown's character, Steve, is trying 10 escape to Canada with about two pounds of stolen jewels.

Steve makes his first error in hitching up with a group of weekend warrior fishermen northwest of Spokane. Steve figures that he'll easily make it into Canada posing as a fisherman.

The guide for the fishing trip is Sarah. played by Kirstie Alley of "Cheers."

After discovering that Steve is in the Pacific Norlhwest, Stantin makes his way to the area that Steve was last seen in. However, Stantin has a problem. He doesn't know the foggiest about the outof-doors and even less about camping and hiking.

The solution 10 Stantin's problem is Jonathon Knox, a hennit who just happens to be in love with Sarah. Knox is portrayed by Tom Berenger of last year's "Platoon." Knox doesn't take kindly wilh leading the city boy into lhe woods and would rather go alone to protect his woman.

Stantin doesn't offer Knox much of a choice. Eilher he can lead Stanin into the woods, or he can be arrested for obstructing justice.

Needless to say, the two of them take to the mountains-one for love and the other for re11enge.

The two men track their quarry for several days before discovering that everyone in the fishing party has been killed except for Sarah. With the fuels of the fire of passion heated up, the chase picks up its pace. After fighting the forces of bolh the weather and the wildlife, the two catch sight of their prey, who quickly escape from the aspect of capture.

The film now swings the other direction, out of the wilderness and into the jungles of Vancouver, British Columbia. Stantin, the city boy, quickly , reasserts his control as Knox slips into a countr)' bo)' role.

The movie ends with a marvelously shot chase scene through the streets of down town Vancouver and a shoot-out on a ferry.

"Shoot to KiU" offers the viewer the wilderness and scenery of a nature film with the fast-paced action of the "French Connection."

The film was directed by native Canadian Roger Spottiswoode, who directtd "Under Fire,·· "The Best of r101es" and the HBO film "The Last Innocent Man.'' "Shoot 10 Kill" has it a.II-QI chases, shoot-outs. wildlife. cliffhanging suspense, humor and the mentioning of the Pacific Northwest.

The ftlm nows extremely well from the big city to the wilderness and back into the city.

"Shoot to Kill'' is rated R because of violence and language. The film current· ly is playing at the Showboat Cinema.

Blown up--Students Judy Mccrumb and Mike Mann enjoy the blown glass pieces displayed at the Union Gallery.

'Places' shows blown glass artwork

by Colleen Perron Steve Adams' unique blown-glass art will be on display in the Union Gallery through Friday, Feb. 26.

A closing party for the show will be held in the Union Gallery on Friday, Feb. 26 from 5-7 p.m. Adams will be present for conversation and queslions.

Born in California in 1949, Adams has lived in the Pacific Northwest most of his life. He began working with glass at the University of Idaho in 1969. While completing a degree in architecture, he set up his first studio dedicated to the production of hot glass.

The glass is made by melting pure sand in a furnace at 2,500 degrees. The molten glass is ''gathered" onto a blowpipe and blown and shaped by hand. Since no molds arc used, each piece is unique.

From his home and studio on Latah Creek io Vinegar Flats in Spokane. be creates this glass, which sells in fine shops a.cross the country.

The gallery is open from noon to 6 p.m. weekdays.

Screen star lowers cost of living under $100 tim clemensen On Aug. 5, 1987, actor Mathew Broderick, star of "Wargames" and "Ferris BueUer's Day Off," and girlfriend Jennifer Gray were driving along a small country road in the southwest of Northern Ireland. Broderick had been drinking.

What happened next was a head-on collision with another car. The result of the accident left Grey unharmed and Broderick with a badly broken leg. It left both the passenger. Anna Gallagher, 28, and the driver, Margaret Doherty, 60, of the other automobile very dead.

Following the incident, Broderick pervayed an attitude of "So what , I was drunk. I didn't

know what was happening."

Broderick faced up to five years in prison with the charge of reckless driving. Wha1 be ended up with was a vinual slap on the wrist and a S175 line for careless driving and no time in prison-qui1e the difference.

Gramed, laws differ from country to country, but getting only a fine of Sl75 for killing two people? " Okay Mr. Broderick. please don't kill anyone else while driving after drinking, or we might have to line you again."

Seriously, has society digressed so much that the price for a life of someone is S87 .50.

Broderick said that he agreed with 1he decision handed down by the magisrrate responsible for 1he case.

The magistrate of the case found that the evidence was inconclusive, thus justifying the lower charge.

John Gallagher, husband of one of the deceased, found the ruling appalling, stating

that it was a travesty of justice. He also stated that incident has been passed off as a minor motoring offense.

Herc in Idaho, if someone kills someone else whjle driving under the influence of alcohol, the guilty party can be charged with second degree murder.

Suike One for stardom or for a poor political system. Either way, a Sl 75 fine for killing two people is not only ghastly but utterly ridiculus.

Broderick, whose movies are enjoyable, to say the least, has shown what a little fa.me and fortune can do for a person. Money and success have transformed him into a guiltless freak who could care less for a human life.

Life is a precious commodity and cannot be thrown away. It also cannot have a price tag put on it, whether it is S87.50 or Sl00,000._ Persons commiting crimes "against humanity" should be punished and no_t ~ust slapped on the wrist and asked to pay muumal fin.esno mailer who they are, from pauper to pnnce.

World according to Pink Floyd shown in 'Wall'

by Randall Green being poetic. criticizing him for being a bleeding heart romanoci.s1 who is 001 tending 10 his school work.

The nightmare world of an estranged rock star comes 10 vivid life in 1hc Bri1ish cull film "Pink Floyd The Wall."

"The Wall" has been described by film critic Robert Hatch 10 be "a manifes1a1ion of madness." which characterizes the disintegraong star. played by Li\'C AJO promoter and roc.k sw in his own right Bob Geldof. Movie director Alan Parker-crea1er of "Bugsy Malone." "Midnigh1 Express," "Fame" and "Shoot 1hc Mooo"builds the scenes of action from views inside the rock star's brain.

Geldof, making his film dcbu1 here as PinJc. is one of many who act out the script, which was written and based on the life of lead singer songwriter of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters. Waters also wrote mos1 of the lyrics and music for what critics caJlcd a chart-busting album.

"The Wall."

In a sense. Parker has created a "visualization'' of the band's hit album.

The poetry in the lyrics tells a disturbing story. beginning with Pink's father dying on the beachhead of Anzio while Pink is bein& born in London. The boy grows up with a lonely disenchantment of aduJI aut«r!lty. The s~enc~ that exemplify his school days are heightened by the lyrics : We don't need no educa-

Quartet recital to feature f acuity Four of a kind- tha1's one way 10 describe the musicians in the North Idaho College Clarinet Quane1.

The quartet wiU play a concen of clwical selections on Sunday, Feb. 28 n the NIC Communications-Arts !Building to celebrate their second season of making music 1ogc1her.

Compositions by Vivaldi , Mtndelssohn, Bohm and Dittersdorf. arranged for the unusual combination

of four clarinets, wiU be featured along with other pieces.

Members of lhc quartet arc Carol Jones, Sabrina Powell, John Hartung and Tom Dickerson, all of Coeur d'Alene.

Performance time is 7 p.m. in the CA recital room 113. The conccn is free and open to the public. For more information call 769-341S.

Scenes bounce back and forth from Pink's daydreams of adolescence to his present state of despair Gerald Scarf, considered to be one ol Britain's leading satirical cartoonists, creates surreal anunation. which Parker blends with real-life action lo show some of Pink's greatest fears and fantasies. These are built into a psychedelic prcscn1a11on which gives the non-experienced members of the audience a sense of how LSD may have influenced the distraught mind of this rock star.

Sex, drugs, rock n' roll and \•iolence all are a pan of the real and imagined life of Pink. His inability 10 deal with his dilemma finds him in an overdose stupor 1ha1 creates even more bizarre oigh1mares of despotic symbolism, which continue 10 cause him to withdraw from the outside world and enclose himself wi1hin a "waU." The wall becomes not only a sanctuary for escape bu1 begins 10 close in around until he shuts off lhe outside world entirely-insanity becomes a sobering reality.

His final Stages of self-destruction go unsolved as Lbe closing song lyrics echo his dilemma... "Even poets and bleeding hearts must make a stand. And some of chem even play in bands."

Rehearsal reversal--A backstage view of Jeff Yftaldo (left} who plays Dr. Gibbs, and Darrell Oyler, who portrays the doctor's son, George Gibbs, is shown during a rehearsa~ for the play " Our Town."

'Our Town' to bring older times to stage

by Ji m Hale On Friday, March 4, 2S drama students and community members will present Thornton Wilder's PulilZCr Prize-wi nning play <;Our Town." Written a half-ccnLUry ago in 1938, the play depicts the life of Grovers Comer.\, a small New Ham pshire village set in the early

1900s.

The play features community members Keilh Knight as the Stage Manager, Jeff Ylitalo as Dr. Gibbs. Jayna Warner as Mrs. Webb, TaraJean Walseth as Rebbecca Gibbs and Kristen Brown as Emily Webb.

NIC Drama students to be featured are Darrel.I Oyler as George Gibbs and Kim Lewis as Mrs. Gibbs. The play also features NJC faculty member Helen Barclay as Mrs. Soames. Other faculty par11cipants include Josephine Webb, Jim Micheals and Doris Ayers.

In the words of the within-the-play stage manager: "This is the way we were in our growing-up and io our marrying and in our doctoring and In our living and in our dying."

With the first acl beginning May 7, 1901 . "Our Town•· introduces two neighboring families and lhe inienwioing relationship of rwo children, George Gibbs and Emily Webb. A5 the years pass. George and Emily progress from algebra homework panners to bec-0me romantically interested in each other. After several yea.rs.

"Our Town" was fairly remarkable for its day because Wilder didn't use scenery, NIC drama instructor Tim Rarick said. For lbis reason, it gained acceptance in schools and colleges with timlted drama budge1s.

"A lot of people: know about ·Our To\\n' becau.se it used 10 be in high school 1ex1books, and, m fact, a lot of high schools a re\\ years ago did 11." he said.

North Idaho-Museum intern works on history program

by Julie Berreth Arca elementary schools soon wilt have a North Idaho history program for their fourth-graders.

Sue Hailey. on intern for North Idaho Museum, designed tbe program and said she started from scratch to "develop the learning materials to be used in tbe schools." " It was o colossal research project," Hailey said. "I heard about projects other museums were doing with working with things hands-on and I tried to decide on a project here. S1ep One was to interview the school personnel to find ou1 wha1 they needed; I.hey wanted to get the ud.s tn\ oh·ed w1Lh hands-on v.ork."

Pan of Hailey's project induda com-

piling boxes v.ith artifact pieces from local history.

"It's a real organiz.cd box of arufacu from dilferent )"CaI'S v.ith maps and lit· tie descriptions or the differcn1 pieces," HaiJey said. "It is so fascin.allllg to me to take something simple like a railroad spike and think about its history It's really intriguing."

Hailey said one or her hands-on pro· jccts for the students is a map.

"I have a huge map, and the kids will be able to choose a ti.me-like when the Indians weft' here-and build an actuaJ vilJage," Hailey said. "They can see bow and why they lived where I.hey did."

Legislative Committee keeps ties to state legislature open

by Craig Bruce Founded in I98S and recognized last year, NIC's Faculty Legislative Commiuce seeks to help the college sta.y on top of issues in the Idaho S1a1e Legislature conceming higher education, spokesmen say.

The commiuee communicates with area legislators oo behalf of the faculty and administration.

Membership on tbe committee is decided by the Faculty Assembly Executive Commince and is based on innructor preference. The lcgisfatjve comm1t1ee prefers instructors from different depanments. This year's spokesperson is Kris Abbott Wold.

Other members are Dr. Ken Wright. Rieb Gaertner, Tony Stewart, Jo Aon Nelson and Margaret Fedje.

Recently, according 10 Wright, the main issue considered by the commiucc is the proposed Library/ Comput,er Science Bujlding. Members of the commi11ee stay in contact with area legislators to encourage more equitable Stale funding for NIC. This is done by participating in the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce conference call 10 legislators oo Thursday mornings. Wright said that a resolution to increase state funding of communiry colleges to the SO percent level has received special attention by the Faculty uegislative Committee .

The committee docs not necessarily operate locally. Last year, members traveled to Boise to talk 10 legislators. Wright said the Committee will continue to provide an imponant link between NlC and the State Legislature on the subject of higher education in Idaho .

Leonard's love of lambing helps in easing pain

Comfortable outside- -George Leonard escapes confines on his sheep ranch.

Slade Zumllole plloto

by Jim Hale

Raising sheep and children, listening to Bob Dylan and playing guitar serve to express and release the sufferings of the Vietnam War for one NIC student.

Injured while serving in Cambodia, journalism student George Leonard said he thinks of himself as a mem~r or a group ~oming rapidly extinct.

"Politically, I think the Reagan Ad· ministration has kept the Viell\arTI vet in a class all by himself-for some reason," Leonard said.

"Now I find myself in this group or people who everybody seems 10 ~ looking at, because onl)• 43 percent (of us) arc left." he said.

"They (authorities) say that S3 or S7 percent or all the (Vietnam) ,•cterans who have come back in one piece have

"So, I don't think about that, and I don't t.hink I'm in any way endangered like that. \\!hat I feel is frustration about how they distort the whole thing away," he said.

In newspapers Overseas Weekly and Stars and Stripes, conflicting accounts of the war often were given, Leonard said. While the headline of one story would say "Cambodia requests U.S. aid.·• another would state "U.S. invades Cambodia.•· Leonard said.

"As a soldier," he said. "no 51,1,ea1.

That's your job. thnt's what you do; you don't question·· the differences ~wetn the official explanation and personal experience because a soldier is under a dif-

ferent set of moral ethics.

Another frustration. he said, is the number or friends he felt were more qualified to survive than himself. but wbo died while he lived.

At one time, 4 million soldiers were serving io the war, Leonard said, and on the evening news. the rising tallies or dead and wounded were carried like statisucs from a ballgame.

Displaying own inventions brings tears, pride to kids

by Celeste Tritz They ranked up there with the best of inventors-Thomas Edison and Ben· jamin Franklin.

The ideas were original, conceived in the minds of elementary school children (kindergarten through eighth grade).

Everything from games 10 scaled work· ing models to adaptational or improved projccLS was viewed by judges and spectators.

Kids congratulated one another, hugged each other. hugged their parents-and their teachers hugged them. Some were a little teary~yed from winning an award for the first time; others beamed with pride.

This was the second annual convention for Bonners Ferry, Lakeland and Boundary counties, Post Falls. Coeur d'Alene, Wallace and Kellogg school districts and the Lighthouse Private Academy for the Gifted and Talented in Post Falls. It was an " Invention Con• vent ion."

It began as a concept in the classroom and progressed 10 a loall competition of the students' creativeness, originality. inventiveness and resou rcefulness.

The next step was the Nonh Idaho Regional Convention, held Saturday on the NIC campus. North Idaho first· place winners arc eligible to progress on 10 the regional level, which includes 1he western states of Utah, Montana, Washington and Idaho. Competitors

send in apphcations and ph01os of their projects and hope 10 progress to the n:i Lional IC\el held in Washmgton. D.C. If a , 1udent advances to this stage. hlS teacher, parcnu and he or she arc able 10 travel 10 \\'a.\hiogton D.C. for the competition. The nauonal program is part of the U.S. Patent Model Foundation.

"This is a way to chaDcng.e the creati,i t> of a child," according to Beth Bodrock. a teacher in Rathdrum representing the Lakeland dimkt.

Presently the United Stat~ has not been producing enough patents. she said. This is n way to encourage kids right now-to ioslill in them the 1mentivcncss 10 solve or find a better v. a> or getting. around existing problems.

"Schools focus on the academic side. which often leaves nothing 10 the imagination of 1he students. Ttus is av. a) for children to express thcmsches and to enhance their self-image." Bod.rod soid.

The "Invention Convention" ii dlf· fcrent than a science fair . A science fair deals with research and c,pcrimeot.a· tion. It involves saying why sometrung is 1he way it is. The convention deals wi1h fresh ideas-something that sa)'S this is a better way of doing something she said. ·•Award-winning. inventions arc those that enhance safety. arc simple and which arc realistic." Bodrock said.

Nathan Doyle. a sixth grader at Post Falls Ponderosa Elcmcnwy, was the overall winner. He developed a bright· ly arrayed seatbelt that would help motivate little kids to wear it, Post Falls Junior High teacher Diane RowenGarmire said. " It only took me three or four days 10 develop it," the I I-year-old Doyl.e said.

"It's great! I am really surprised-I didn·1 think J would win." he said.

Children still arc being taught. the fundamentals in the classroom. according 10 Rowen-Gnrmire. The only difference is that the teachers now arc teathing the srudcnts to fit things together incongrueot.ly, she added.

Invention convention - -A curious girl takes Interest In one of the inventions, created by children, that was displayed at the college Saturday. !\bou1 sending a s1udcnt to the national IC\·cl lasi )'tar, Rov.cn-Garmirc said that there was no1 much difference in the ideas in relation 10 the West and East Coas1. " The inventions that were there were in conjunction with the area that the child came from." she said.

Children around the counties and school districts start 10 prepare for the upcoming " Invention Convention" sometimes right after the prccc:ding one, Bodrock said.

The students who Start to prepare this early arc ones that have already com· petcd in the convention, she said.

Developing inventiveness into the curriculum depends on the teacher.

Bod.rock said. " I usually start to instigate the idea around November so my kids can start thinking up ideas,'' she said.

The " Invention Convention" js supported by Nonh Idaho Facilitz.or for Talented Youth {NJFTY). It originally v.c15 designed for the gifted and talented children. but Post Falls. Lakeland and Kellogg ha,e chosen to open the com· petition to aU students. according to Rowen-Gannire.

" I chose ro open the convention 10 all students because it is not just 1hc gifted and talented students that arc creative," Bodrock said. "All children have crca1i vit y in them; it just needs 10 be drawn out."

Last year SJ panicipams competed in the convention. This year there were 81 entrants. Expansion for the future 1s expected but is a little hard right now withou1 any funding, Rowen-Garmire said. " Basica1Jy the only funding is the SJS entry fee from each school, but thls goes towards ribbons and plaques for the competitors." she said.

A promoter of the " Invention Convcntion''- HAM radio-broadca.st.s on a band that reaches not only around the continent, but around the world.

Dave Sanders and Nelson Sanders, a father and son team, have been broadcasting for about a year. They sec up in the morning at the convention and con· tacted people from Ohio. Indiana, Florida and Massachusett.s.

"Since this is an ' invention Conven· tion,' I thought it would be a good place 10 sov. the seeds of invcnti,·cness.'' Dave Sanders said

"If someone in the PE class shows some skill, then we will usually move them into the club." Co)•lc said.

Currently the 1eam competes by what is known as "postal )hoot. " Instead of trnvcling 10 compete again.st 01her teams, scores nre sen, 10 the Inland Em· pirc Rine & Pistol Association 10 Spokane. The scores nrc compared and ranked accordingly and 1hen publbhed in 1he Sunday sporis edition of the Spokesman-Review.

The shooting range in the Cardinal Room is equipped according 10 National Rine A)soca11on specifications. nnd both Price and Coyle nre NRA certified instructol"I. The .22<aliber ritles used are supplied b)' 1he Army under a pro· gram known as 1he Director of Civilian Ma rl..menship, which is designed to teach chrilians marks menship.

In fou r body positions-standing, kneeling, siuing and prone-the marksmen shoot at a 1arge1 SO feet away. There are 10 circles on the paper target, abouL I Y. inches in diameter with a bulls~ye the size or a pinhead. Blow· ing out the pinhead assures a score of IO for that circle.

With IO circles worth IO points each. that's I 00 possible poin1s per position-a total of 400 pointS. ' 'This is strictly target practice," Price said. "The same as in the summer Olympics."

And speaking of Olympics, the club also practices with an Anschuu. a German-mode rine thai features custom adjustments 10 different body frames.

The rinc is the same one used in Ol)'m· pie summer marksmenship C\entS and holds all current mnrl..smenslup records.

Price said.

One ad\11n1age of shooting as a sport is that it docsn 't require e." ensive physical conditioning on the pan of the shooter, although good general physical condition is certainly a plus. It does require bones. ho" ever.

"It's a bone game," Price said. "It's not a muscle sport.•• He pointed out one member who was in the siuing position. practicing wha1 he called "bone-to-bone." Sil11og crosslegged, the marksmen supported his elbows on his knees.

"Most sports do use muscles." Price said. ''But muscles eventually get tired and will move, which can cause gun movement. "

Gun mo,cment also can lead to a lov,er sbooung score. faffl the he:utbeat can cause gun mo,·cment. For th,~ reason all members ',l,eaJ' a luthc"r Jhooting jatlet. ~bich finru up the body 10 &,i,c support.

Shooting is an ideal sporl tor tho~ who arc not interested in the more ngorous. nggressi\e physical <poru ~ucb as football or bnsl..etball.

"It gives them a chance 10 e:<cel," Coyle said, "especiall) if they \\ercn't high school spom stars."

As a spectator sport. shooung isn't exactly II thriller. There aren '1 any players frantically running up and down a court. or extraordinary touchdown passes caught o r even sweaty, musclemeo grappling on a mat.

"l1's kind of a lonely sport because you 're just competing against yourself," Coyle said.

What there is, bo\\cvcr, is the salisfaction of bitting that bulls-eye-a clean shot.

If the shooter decides not 10 fire, 1hen the rifle is uncockcd to eliminnte the risk of accidental firing.

"If anything is 001 righ1-no mauer how tri,·ia.1-a ceasefire is caUed," Coyle said. ''Al that point everyone stops s hooting and puts down the guns.·'

by Steve Davia · "SuCCC$S is not the issue; how much you pay for it is.... " Thu handwrincn quote hangs with 20 sister posters on the near barren walls or a room m the NI C Christianson Gym. The room's red padded noor co, ers some 3,000 square feet and its walls likewise are padded 10 a height of 6 feet. Above this line of conuast. the posters display their silent encouragement.

The stillness of the room is broken a few moments after noon as the first of nine athletes, their coach and his assistant begin 10 gather.

12:01-Each man, as he stepS onto the mat, begins a slow, deliberate testing of the sinew and tendon that will be put to trial and training during the following 50 minutes. Each face ren~s a calm and earnest focus of mind and body. These men arc regional wrestling champions, and their coach, John 0\1.CO , is the man behind that success.

12:0S-The slight rustic in the room is punctua ted softly by o... en: "OK , let's do some la ps!'' To a man, without pause and in nuid unison, the aihletes begin their warm-up routine in slow circles around the room. A couple or minutes into the laps, a wrestler dans righ1. Then another fakes and dodges left. Soon the slo\l. circular procession is animated with the nurry of movement in its pcrimctcr.

12:10- ' 'Pair up," is the command from John Florchingcr, assistant wrestling coach. The circle disintegrates as the men break off into pairs, judging distance and each other. They have g.ivcn themselves and their various p.1ired counterparts plenry of room LO move. The order to begin a "swim ei:crcisc" is sounded. and the wrestlers begin their final warm-up. Gone now are the slow, tcsling, strct.ching motions. Rapid movement, taunt with intent and determined skill, brings the stark room to life.

12:12-As the warm-up exercise reaches conclusion, Owen give$ a quick glance at a piece of folded notebook paper, then gives it a tucl: into his -..,a istband. "Elbow leads," he says.

Th~ few syllabics produce a swift change m the movements on the mat. Tbe thud of a thrown man draws the eye 10 focus on a wrestler who already is gaining his feet.

"Nice throw, Ern.iel'' Ernie Molina is a 118-pound freshman who sports four wins u Arizona State prep champ. His sparrinJ partner is Gordon Lacroix, a 126-pound freshman from Spokane- a two-time state champion himself.

12:14-''Snag single," Owen says. The changes of style among the men rcncct compliance. "Set-upl Sct·upl Walk it in, Brady. Force the inside trip!"

Chuck Brady, a 134-pound freshman and '87 Illinois State freestyle champion, 1pus with Alfonso Laws, a ISO-pound Washington State champ.

12:2S-"l 'm going to give you a situation, and you work it out," Owen says. ''The guy is going to run a spiral on you. Light man down. Wrestle!"

The room again explodes in10 ,tc:lion, and the language or wrestlers bounces, mut.ed from the padded walls.

"Tripod that one tool Crab ill Set-up! High crouch!''

Coach Owen is ever among the men, showing some nuance of technique, correcting, prodding, encouraging his champions.

Trainer's career dreams come true in Cd'A

by Randall Green The prevention and rehabilitalion or spons injuries prompted Tony Koch to pur· sue his lirelong gonl-10 be a sporu trainer.

Born nnd raised in Omaha, Koch graduated rrom t.he University of Nebraska v.it.h a bachelor degree in sports medicine and 1s c:eruficd as a sporu trainer.

"During the grueling university internship. I had the opportunity to work with the varsity sports teams and travel a great deal w1lh them," Koch said. "The Cl· pcriencc was valuable."

"Thai is when l met Or. John Oei.sen, and v. c began to discuss the need ror qualified trainers in high school athletics in thlS area." Koch said .

Presently Koch is shanog his uuining c.,pericncc by work ing with Wallace, Ke11ogg, Posi Fnlls and Coeur d'Alene high ~chool athletic prognuru. spon.<ored by Orthopedic Assoda1cs in Coeur d'Alene.

Koch cid he became interested in sporLS m high school and that Interest has. carried through his career. He has worl.ed with NIC ath letic troiner Al Wyldcr and has developed a close tic with v.rcstling c:ooch John Owens. "l'\"e bttn a long-time v.rcstling fan , so it wns naiurol for me to want 10 work v.uh the wrestlers," Koch said.

Koch said be csptcially cnJoys working with athletes because of their work cLhics, fimcss le\cls and quick recovery rates. He attributes many miraculous injury recoveries both to the individual athletes and the follow-up rchabilitolion programs being employed by professional trainers and physiCAl therapists. However, he said he has some rcscn-,uions about a rcw or the new rehabilitation trends.

"At.hlctcs arc hum:,.n ...and that mcaru it takes a ccrtnin time for Injuries to rep.air," Koch sa.id. "But many trainers rush the process. ond athletes get pressured to return to action before the inJury is completely healed."

Koch said he reels that this syndrome can be harmful 10 the athlete in the long run, so he has taken a more middle-of-the-rood approach 10 ht, training philosophies.

He said he docs not believe in rushing the he3ling proce.ss.

"I really like v.orking as a trainer," Koch said .

Anyone talking 10 Koch wiU sec 1hai he mea ns what he says. He also beUevcs in keeping a positive a11i1ude about lire in general. He said nuitudc: can affect us more than we realize. He said that if an injury changes an athlete's life, he or she nerds 10 stay posiuve-thcrc will always be opponuniucs one moy nol hove originally considered.

No easy feat - -Sports trainer Tony Koch makes it easier to overcome the rehabilitation process by helping the local h!gh school sports programs.

He said that most people don't realize that sports trainers ha,·e education requiremenLS not unliJ..c attorneys and must ~ state and national board c.ums. Sports medicine programs are rairly new to some college curriculums but han· been around for about 25 years, he said.

"Back in the late 'SOs and early '60s a group oi people recognized the need for health care professionals 10 take care of athletes," Koch said.

He said now our society promotes and supports such an acuvc life style, incorporating all kinds of sports in the current health and fitness craze. This is creating a need for qualified professionals 10 help educate people about bow 10 prevent sports injuries and aid in the rehabilitation process of hc::1ling injuries.

Koch said he was dissatisfied with working in the high pressure and political CO· virons of big cities. And he said even trainers working with some of the top professional teams were not moking near enough money ror their education requirements.

So, he relocated 10 Coeur d 'Alene and auended the NIC nursing program. Nov. he is working as a registered nurse 111 Kootenai Miedical Center.

Men cagers 50 percent on final road trip

by Tim Clemen..n

The North Idaho CoUegc men's hoopstcrs will f~ the Ricks College Vilcings in Rexburg, Idaho, Friday, in their last league game before the Region 18 Championship Tournament.

Rather than tbe top teams from league play advanon8 into the playoffs, this year a tournament wiD determine the cont.enders for post-5ea50n play. The top eight teams in the league will face each other in a threc-<lay, singleelimination tourney.

The boopstcrs have qualified for the tournament with a league record of 9-8 and 18-12 ovcrall, but arc stiJJ uncertain as to where the tourney will take place; the regulaJ season ends this weekend.

Fighting it out for the right lO host the tournameni arc Salt Lake City Community College and Dixie College.

Currently the Cards are in about l'ifth

place. according 10 bead coach Rolly Williams, behind the College of Southetn Idaho. Salt Lake, Dixie and Utah Valley Community College.

Ricks, the College of Eastern Utah and Snow CoUegc round out the eight teams. " We're gonna have to play "''cU. Any of the eight teamS can beat anyone else oo any given night. To win the tournament you have to run thJCe games in a row," Williams said.

On Thursday, Feb. 11, t.be hos.ting Cards defeated I.be Chukars ofTrcasurc Valley Community CoUege 109~.

Saturday, Feb. 13 the Cards hosted the CSI eagles in a matchup that came right down to the wire with the Cards pulling off a come-from-behind upset of the lirth-ranked lC3m in the nation 95-91.

'' It was a great g:ime. II was a lot of fun to coach it. Any decision made could "'in or lose it," Williams said.

Although steps arc being raken to lessen the rivalry between the 1wo junior coUeges, tempers on the coun naired several times in a tightly packed Christianson Gymnasium.

The Cards split on their final regular season road-trip, losing to the College of Eastern Utah on Thursda)', Feb. 19.

90-81 and defeating Colorado Northwestern Community College two nights later 81-74.

"They're (CEU) pretty good; the)' had real good boards. We did111'1 shoot well; we missed easy baskets," Williams said. ·•we operated wcJI under adverse conditions against CNCC." Williams rcamtly was inducted in 10 the Idaho Spons Hall of Fame.

" I feel very honored. It's a nice gesture," Williams said.

Control of the backboards will be the key factor agruns1 Ricks. Williams said. ·'If we can control the boards, we can control the game," he said. "Ricks is a balanced dub. They can hurt you from all around."

The Card's have won foUJ out of their last five league games. Williams attributes the current success to good cf. forts off the bench.

"The scoring's spread a10uod good; (freshman) Trevor Wilson did well against Di.'Cie and Snow. (Sophomore) Tim Huizinga has played consistent, did well against CS!," Williams said. ·'(Sophomore) Harold Garv~ had a couple big hoops against CS!; the other kids are solid."

How the game is played-more telling than medals randa/1 green

With all of America's dreams focused on winning, the XV Winter Olympic Games are beginning to seem like a loser's worst nighunare to most U.S. fans and athletes.

Our pride was bruised on the hard, slick surface of the ice arena when the boisterous Russians stoic the pairs figure skating show and outslapped us in hockey. Our most prommant Olympic hopeful, speed skating world champion, Dan Jansen, was felled by a blo" to his heart that no rival could possibly duplicate when the death of his sister was announced the day he was to perform. His hopes of winning a medal slid away when he fell in the 500-meter event that afternoon.

Alas. America has no Phil and Steve Mohre to rescue a medal in the men's alpine skiing events this year. The U.S. Ski Team's youngsters are watching in awe as the ~mooth. confident Swiss and Austrians schuss onto the winners' stand. Maybe Tamara McKinney or Debbie Armstrong, a one-time unknown, " ill salvage some prized hardware in the women's a.lpme skiin evems.

And we can't forget about our men's figure skater Brian Boitano, 1986 world titlist and four-Lime U.S. champion. As or Monday, Brian Boitano has become the USA's first gold medal winner.

Nonetheless, let's not get our hopes up so high I.hat if our aspirations and C.\l)CCtations of our athletes fall shon of their mark, they will crash down and break into pieces. Let's

give the athletes some credit for even making the cut to perform on one of Lhe U.S. teams representing this great country at these Olympic Winter Games.

Mike Eruz.ioncc, ex-U.S. hockey teammember who scored the winning goal that silenced the Russian fans dunng the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, said I.his: "The a:citement of Lhe Olymp1cs is something I wish everyone

c,ould experience. When an athlete is selected to represent his country. it becomes more than just an athletic event."

Participating in a event like the Olympics is something that can change an athlete forever. according to Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton. He said that: "Remembering the positive things of the experience arc what make the Olympics so incredible for an athlete."

When Hamilton was preparing to leave for Sarajevo in 1984, his close friend, A BC director Doug Wilson, told him: "I don't want to scare yo u, but your going to leave for two weeks and your whole life is going to be changed when you get back."

Ne.-:t time one of our team-members misses a medal, think of the pride an athlete's parents must be feeling for their offspring or the coaches that may have worked with the athlete in his adolescence. For a U.S. athlete to just be there-experiencing something only a select few can do, is something to be proud of.

The athletes probably know better than anyone how to deal with the winning and losing-that is what makes them great, and that is. why they are representing Lhe U.S. at the Olympics. They arc our best now. Let's be proud of them and take a lesson from them about how to handle losing. Someone once told me that it is not the winning that counts, its how )'OU play the game that is most important.

Leaming to lose with dignity is part of the sports e.icperience, and all of our athletes should be gold medalists to us just for being at the XV Olympic Games.

Schweitzer Patrol conducts avalanche clinic ·•All I cao hope to do in this short time is to possibly scare you into finding out more about avnlanchcs, •· Gibbons

by Randall Green

A small group of back country skiers galhcred a1 Schweitz.tr Sunday 10 par· tiopate in an avalanche clinic sponsored

by Professional Recreation for the NIC ASNIC Ou1door Advcn1ures Program and was hosted by 1he Schweitz.er Ski Pa1rol.

said.

Gibbons shared experiences and stories 1ha1 proved his point, ye1 he also showed the participants some techniques they can practice that may give them some clues abour the prevailing snowpack conditions. He said the Schweitzer Ski Parrot checks the snowpack after every storm so the)' may make an educared guess about the stability of the ski slopes.

Rod Gibbons. a professional ski patrolman and mountain guide, conducted a two-hour a.,.arencu clinic about rhe dangers that back<ountry skiers can encounter while tra\eliog in the mountains during winter. Gibbons also demonstrated techniques for making hac;ty forecasts .ibout the snowpack and ho.,. 10 plan tri~ so skiers can a\·oid potcnual avalanche terrain.

''Many people don't realize that 3 storm can happen on a clear day 1f the wind is blowing," he said. "The wind is the key: it traospons the snow and that 15 what \\e worry about."

Gibbons told participants that many factors affect snow slope inst3bility.

Wind w:i.s one of the most worrisome because it can help create the loading of snow on slopes that cannot support the added Yieight. Wind also packs and compresses the snow. When a windloaded slope slides. it usually is a slabrype avalanche-the most dangerous kind. " We get lots of snow and lots of wind in the Selk irks.·· Gibbons said. "Those factors combined with skiers can cause dangerous avalanche conditions.''

Gibbons stressed Lha1 avalanches oc· cur naturally in the bacl. country and arc not considered a hazard unless they 1hrea1en human life or damage property. He snid people should respect the winter mountain environment, and he stres.scd 1hat those panicipating in backcounrry skiing should try 10 educate themselves about avalanches.

Although rhe Sunday clinic was designed 10 educale people about avalanche danger. Gibbons said that a 1wo-hour session is not near enough

time

10

become knowledgeable about

what can happen to the unaware winter mountain traveler. Gibbons said that experience in the mountains, being obscr· vant abou1 the snowpack and weather and practicing proven forecast methods arc the best ways to learn about 1he ha1..ards of avalanches.
