Convocations Week hosts events

by Rosemary Petersen "Beyond Darkness. A Human Response" was the topic of IO speakers and films during Convocation Weck.

Feb. 6-10, at NIC. According to Tony Stcwan and Duke Snyder, instructors at NIC. each \peakcr or film was cn1husiastically received by a large audience.

Snyder said he was excited about the line-up of speakers but wished there was some way to communicate better with everyone on campus. Pockc1-si.zc cards with the schedules were distributed. but some students were still not aware of the programs, he said.

Snyder said the speakers were all dedicated, sincere and really believed in their subjectS-nothing casual. All the topics were dramatic and serious. but it was imponant to talk about them, and that makes it OK, Snyder said.

"Discus.sing and dealing with these

major problems such as the Holocaust makes our world bcuer. It left me ..,lh things to think about, to contemplate and measure my life ag;a.irut," Snyder said "I 100k m) family to a prison camp m Germany, and C\cn ~ a feeling remami there that my cl111dren (without pnor kno-ledac or •hat It.ad happened} could feel."

The film, lhown •ere "~pc: An Act or Hate" and " '1 Y Fatba, ~ Y Son." the latter about a vicum of Agent Orange in V1CUWIJ and bu fatbcr "'bo had g1,en the order to cue it.

Other convocations topiu mcluded "Compe1.1uon. \\11) We AD Lose m Our Race to \\ in"; ··A &g Lady's fa. periencc"; "In~ The '-ot-TalkedAbou1 Abuse" and "Gorbacbe, ·s Russia and Rel= from the USS R " The Com·ocationJ Commmcc consisted of instructors 'ils Ro5'hhl.

In l:ist week· s talk be messed th:11 linking TV w1th oppressions may be making TV too imponant.

He said TV might be boring, inaccurate. tri,·ial. good, bad. ugly or entertaining, but nC\'eT oppressive. How TV is used and what we demand from it has transformed it to something other than entertainment, he said.

Political leaders are chosen b~· their competency to deal with the images on TV 10 ge1 elected, Smith said. TV is public discourse and more than just a pan of our culture: viewers have nothing else 10 do to take its place, he said.

The effect.s of TV have been studied. and after 30 ycan it has been concluded that people who commit crimes after set-ing the same things done on TV have already shown a tendan~ to act th.al w11y. Smith said.

He said the solution to all the ap, prehcnsion of possible social problems is 10 tal.e :iction to teach tha1 n • and print media are potentiall) a cultural narcouc or people ..;u ha,·e amu.m:I 1hcm~che,, 10 death.

She began 10 put LOgcther an idea of living as a "bag lady'' hersel f 10 see wha1 it is really like.

She admitted that coming from a ranch near Deer Park, Wash., did not give her a good background for living on the strcetS of a big city. but, with help from those who understood, she became a street person in Washingu,n, D.C., for siA weeks.

The media discovered her plan before the even left, and she made them prO· m1.sc 10 keep her plans quiet unul she returned home, she said. ll would have been dangerous, a.nd also the people she was mtcrcstcd m would not have allowed it. she said.

Anonymous sources

Use of masked sources stirs ethical debate Questioning the ethical u&e of anonymous sources by newspapers 1s nothing new. Practiced with discretion. their use is considered a legitimate Jour. nalistic tool. But if used excessively and unnccosaril)•, they can undermine a paper's in1egri1y.

Criticism of the Sentinel's decision 10 rCSpCCI anonymity of several sources connected to the recent article about law enforcement instructor Ned Stua.n's resignation is a case in point. Was the Sentinel naff justified in making the decision 10 run the story this way? Is there any way to know if the "anonymous" sources didn't have an axe 10 grind against someone?

These arc important questions and not unlike those that editors across the eoun1ry are facing daily. According to Brad Knickerbocker. editorial page ediror for the Chrmian Science Monitor. using anonymous sources for news purposes has "been around since the lirsl royal cou r11cr whispered to the first scribe."

Pete Weiticl, managing editor of the Miami Herald, said, "Ir is a decision that must be made carefully and only after we have as much information as possible about the story and the source and their motives. " In this case, the Sentinel's editors ru,d advisor carefully scrutinized the value of the masked informants' remarks and fch it necessary to include them in the story. Any small commuotty paper (especially a small college paper), for which the audience and the news sources arc limited, that would decide not to run news stories with "disconnected" sources could pcmibly reduce its contc:nt of reportable news 10 norhing more than public relations fluff.

Howc"er. journalistic practices of lhis type often arc criticized for lazinessnot digging enough for the whole story.

Knickerbocker wrote, "Observers say it is an easy to stick an uninformed wet linger in the air or-worse yet-kt rcponial billS intrude in the guise of objectivity. ..

The resignation story had SC\'eral sources who confirmed the information and attitudes of others that were ulttmately cited-substantiating their credibility. In addition. the reporter worked closely with the editorial staff

The article "'.is a far CT)' better than other boring articlca lha1 wa.u e spaa/time (i.e.

Only pain in eye test is paying the bill rosemary petersen

my eyes would require. I've always done that, so maybe t.lw's wh)' I've always wished my glasses were a little stronger. Next time I'll only read the easy ones.

1 asked the doctor if he could tell how people's eyes were 14-itbout them telling him what they could sec, and be said, "Ob. yes. When the Cambodian boat people were coming into America, 1 gave many of them eye ICSLS and they couldn't speak English at all."

Going for an eye examination is not as bad as going 10 the dentist (until the painful time of paying the bill).

With the dentist, not much is left to the imaginatfon-witb him probing around your teeth and gums with sharp objects. There are some mysteries, though, about the optometrist looking deep into your eyes in a dark room with his tiny, bright light.

Can he tell what you are think.ing?

Scientists tbfa.lc dogs and cat.s see cvcryt.bing in blocks of black and whjte. Would they think we humans saw like that Loo if we couldn't talk?

At my last exam. I caught myself in the usual act of trying to read the tiniest row of lettersas though it was a test of my mental ability insu:ad of just a check to sec what strength lenses

Very young children might be similar. In any case, I was wondering why they ask us all those questions if they know anyway-maybe just 10 get us into the act and feel we're contributing something.

Then, co test for glaucoma, he put drops into my eyes. The first one was only mildly uncomfortable-then, while prying my other eye open for the second drop, he mentioned, "This might sting a little." Sure enough, it did !

The power of suggestion or what?

Then the choices of frames-how could little strips of plastic cost so much? Should they be metal or plastic, fancy or plain, square, round-maybe granny frames like John Lennon wore?

In the matter of lenses you get choices of photo-gray (darken automatically in sunlight and when indoors can ma.Ice your face look like you're recovering from the black plague), clear plastic (with the "necessary" S2S special coating) or glass (heavy if strong lenses).

Contact lenses arc a whole different story we won't go into here. Just remember, the next time you go for your annual exam. "There is nothing 10 fear but fear itself''-and maybe the drops.

Link is ever said, however, about The lnrredibly Aggravating Age of Radio.

That wos back before the single dial models came out, when no fewer than three dials were twisted at random, in ho~ that a station-any stationmight come in. When it finally did. the family had to fight over who got to use the headphones 10 listen 10 what was usually a garbled mi~turc of noise and whatever program w:is coming through at the time.

Still. it was a magical time, a ne\\ frontier in communications.

From the bull:y box ,•cr(1ons 10 lM tiniest transistors. elson Lno111 them inside and ou1. Pan or his radio collcoction is currently on displa) in w entrance to the NlC librat). " I used to repair radios and electroJI.IC equipment \\ hen I was in the a,;."

Nelson said. "I was also coUecting old radios at lhc time because I thought they would probabl) suin disappearing.

That's the way II worl:s-pcople throw them ll\\1IY, and then they're gone."

At last count, Nelson figured his cotlec1ion had gro11o n 10 more than 35 vinu1gt radios. Most wc:rc salvaged, be said, saved from being bulldozed into the laodfiU or left outside Lo brave the clements. Some were found in storage buildings and old barns.

"I designed it to show the changes in circuit layout," be said. · ' How the bulky partS of the "20s and ')Os bcc:a:me smallcr in the '40s and 'SOs. By the ume the '60s rolled around there were hundreds of modds of fivc-wbe radios, all

One version was

But tube$ han their place, Nc!Jon said, if only in the scn1i111cntal recesses of a radio collector•, heart.

"It's nice 10 see some action, sec the tube$ light up when you turn a radio on," he said. "h's no thrill to 1urn on a transistor radio, as far as I'm concerned."

Any other advantagci to tube$ over tr.uuist0rs?

"Well, they're not ,usec:ptiblc 10 nuclear radiation," Nelson replied.

One more question: How do you fmd something like that out?

Long raven hair and flashing black eyes.

On a bluff beneath the 1imber Overlooking a prairieYou arc a warrior.

Your deerskin lioncloth drapes And quilled moccasins hang freely Against the pony's nank.

Unspoiled by white trappings, You turn 10 watch a hawk Soar and dive and soar again as he hunts, And you know today You must do the same.

The ART program ho, reduced the amount of injury accident~ in 1hc areas that the special traffic policemen arc allowed to wo1ch. Hill said. " \Ve respond 10 :ill injury accident~ 10 keep records of where, when and why they happen." Hill ~aid.

In order 10 justify their ex1s1ence, the ART police hod to show a positi,,.c rc,uh the first )'car. according to Hill.

The :imdcnt rate decreased by 21.2 percent the first year A RT was in effect.

While riding with officer Hill on Friday, Feb. 3. from 7 p.m. to after 10 p.m., it became e,,.ident what she does and how others react to her. Sitting on Nonhwcst Boulc\•ord with 3 radar gun. shcdod.ed those not reduc· ing their speed from 45 10 35.

The street was \'Cr}' icy. and the air was cold. People were driving slowly. ah hough C\'Cn then they didn '1 )ttm 10 be confident bcc.iusc when they Sll\\ the ~uod car. they hit the brakes. Their auempts to slo\\ without Hill noticing were comical.

Hill left onhwesl Boulevard and drove along Sher· man A\ cnue to ~cc if :myone would miss :i stop sign. One drh er shd throu~h the ~top sign bcc:lu~e of the slid. con·

ditions, but Hill said ~he didn't tbiol n ~u 1bc dmcr\ fault.

"I ha\'e been yelled at. called unpnntabk thinJ:s and hod people promiie me that I.he) •ould llle\ct do 11 again-only to stop them at the ~e p~~ the oe:11 da} doing the same thing, and n ne\er gcu cnJe!'," Htll said. ··we get yelled at bccau~ "'c don't g1\C •anunp, but 11c do.

"I ha\cn't s~n a fOLaht) )'Cl, and I ho~ DOI lO " A map in the ART office sho"'s the t)pc of accidmts and locations.

Hill ast..ed. "Arc the) actuall) 111ing 10 dri\'C bcltcr or just trying to \latch out for white car> \11th blue lights?"

Coeur d'Alene tS ranked fourth in the Sl3tc for inJUf) accidenll>, 11hich is an impro1emcnt from where it st.aned. but if the ART team is disbanded. Ito"' long ~,u II be before the cit) gains back 10 ~nd in the state or C\CD first? Hill asked.

by Craig Bruce While February opened with a non-tradi1 ional cold spell, NIC's wrestling team has high hopes or closing ihe month with another national 1i1lc. With four such titles in as many Ycal'$ behind them, it is becoming traditional for head coach John Owen's grapplers to bring in spring with 3 first place among national junior colleges.

The Cardinals were vic1orious at last weekend 's regional tournament in Oregon City. The margin of victory over Clackamas was less 1han one point, but sent four former national tournament placers on to this year's tournament, which will be held Feb. 24-25 in Glen Ellyn, Ill.

Lady Cards flying high

by David Carkhuff RiC'limondeno C'ordmol,• l1e. QUlh 1his winier. In layman's terms. 1he 1 .Jy Cardinals basketball team tr:l'Jcl(d 10 Treasure Valley Communit) College and the College of Southern Idaho ,n pur,uu of a spo1 in 1hc NJ CA A national 1ournament.

"We're mothcmo1ically in 1he regional 1ournamen1, ·• co-conch Greg Crimp '>llid.

The con1enders for Region 18 are cxp«1ed 10 include CSI. Ricks College and either Dixie College or Utah Valley, sa.id Cnmp and co-coach Vic Woodward.

One low point is the recent elimina1ion of Salt Lake Community College. nc-cording to the conchcs. When that northern division team was defca1ed, a southern host for the regional tournament was guaran1eed, the coaches said. Thus. NIC wit.I not host Region 18. they said. denying 1he Lady Cardinals their home perch.

The comparison is meant in the best sense. After all. from a spectator's point of view. the Lady Cards have a birdlike: quickness on the court and 1hey can easil)' become airborne.

Some of this spirit showed in the Treasure Valley game on Feb. IOwhen the Lady Cards defeated lhe Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysoc1os) 74-S4.

Crimp foresaw the victory.

His ou1look was less certain toward the CSI game oo Feb. 11 .

"They gave us a heck of a game here on our noor:· Crimp said. '"h's going 10 take n 40-minute effort down lherc." Crimp predicted. "We're going to have to get up early and play good defense." t

De tensc helped to dcddc the game. but 8S II turned OU(, not tn IC'~ fo,or. The Eagle) prc,\ed 31 turno,·el"\ tor a 68-.SJ result Saturdn)• night. TurnOH!n "ere "dcf1m1ely n big fne1or 1n the lo"I>, ·· \\'ood\\Jrd said.

"They held us as a 1cam ~OpomlS belo" our average." \\ ood\\Ard ,a,d.

A more intrinsic difficult)· ar0$C from expectations of a second Region 18 \IClOI) for NIC. " We focused 001 only on rcgionals but on nationals." Woodward said.

The Lady Cards "on their first oalional 1ournamen1 game ever for ' IC tn the 1986..S7 season.. O\\ , Region 18 and national competition arc a distraction for the 1eam, according 10 the coaches.

"I think we have 10 reconnect our desire to win with our prcpara1ioo to win," Crimp said.

The ne,'(I major gllfflt at home is Feb. 25.

The Lady Cards will scclc rcvtnge on Ricks, with Millie Ostler and Stacy Wanczyk as Lhe greatest threats. the coaches said. " We need to defend them beucr," Crimp said. " We need to be more patient offensively, and we need to control the tempo."

Pa.rt of their frustration came from an antagonistic crowd. the coaches said. A homc crowd offers a "10 to 20-point advantage'' to the home team, Crimp said. " I'm really pleased "ith lhc suppon both from the community and srudcnts."

Crimp said.

Upcoming home games include tonight's contest with the College of Ea.stem Utah and the game with Colorado orth"estem Community College on Saturday.

lntramurals going strong Canoe trek for two

by Rosemary Petersen

by Robb Brennan

The Schick Supcrhoops baske1ball 1oumamen1 that was "chilled out" on Sunday, Feb. S, has been rescheduled for Monday. Feb. 20, at 6:30 in the gym.

The tournament normally consists of men's and women's divisions with a 3·<m·3 format , but a women's division was 001 formed

because of lack of entries. according to Se011 Peterson, intramurals director.

The men's dMsion at NIC consists or four 4-man teams. The win.net will a.en-a.no: LO the J.4eam regional wumamcnt on Feb. 2S and 26 in Pullman. NIC's representatives wiD be playing other teams from throughout the Nonhwest.

In the Slam Dunk Contest during halftime of the men's basketball game against Dixie College on Feb. 2. Ron Cooper won fi..-e pi.tzas from Domino's Pizza for outslamming seven other dunkers.

Da,id Haney outstretched the rest of the field LO snag second place.

The participants 11,·cre judged on their style. ability and crc:itiviiy on a scale of one LO ten, with ten being a perfect mark. The jumps were scored by a panel of thm: judges.

NlC's Ski Fest at Silverhorn.

Jan. 28, was deemed a toial success by Peterson. Over 60 srudcnts. faculty and their families showed up to make a ft"' turns at the local ski reson outside of Kellogg. .. We had 10 rum :ibout 20 people away, and we ran out of skis to rent also," Peterson said.

The sailing course offered in the spring h~ been filled. but later courses are betng offered in the mmmcr and fall. Those interested should contact Dean Bennett, student acti,ities coordinator. in the ba.semcnl of the SUB for addiuon.a.l information.

Seeing a musk ox up close and chasing bears out of camp were just cwo of the hazards of a 2,000 mile. 416-daycanoe uip ul:en by Marypat Zi1ur and Alan Kessdheim in the far nonh of Canada. They recounLed details of their trip in 198S and 1986 during a narrated slide show at IC Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Sunsets. mist rising from the water, bunernies and bears occupied their time as well as cooking. pitching :i dome tent and searching for firewood.

Residents of Bozeman, Mont., Kcssclhcim ond Zimr decided to embark on a canoe trip and fell under the spell of the wild environment ond stunningly beautiful 2000-mile expedition from Jasper. Alberta. to Baker Lake. onhwcs1 Territories, ZitzCJ said.

Arter 63 days, they arrived at the Loke A1haba.sc:i Indian camps and decided 10 winter there. With the Indian's help, they built o I6:<20-£001 log cabin complete with wood noor and stove and lived there for eight months. Their only means of transponotion was by snowshoe, except when they borrowed a Snowcat on Christmas and Valentine's Day 10 travel 10 a distant village.

Snowshoe rabbitS, wol\·cs. ptarmigans and numerous birds became subjects for their photography, drawing and writing. Kcssclheim said the ponablc radio became a very important companion as there was no one left 01 the camps for the winter.

In June of 1985, the big toke was clear of ice and they continued their journey. Their first portage was three miles of bugs and bogs, Zitzer said. They had to carry all their food for the entire summer plus photography equipment, fuel, clothes and other camping gear.

It was hard going bceause of strong winds ond murderous insects, Kcssclhcim s:iid, but they didn '1 lose their enthusiasm.

The tundra couniry north of the Nonh\\csl Territory border was hard to travel bceausc of the insectS. rocks, lack of fuel ond lotS of rapids,, he said.

The Kazan River Valley was full of huge waterfalls, caribou, griuly be:irs, musk ox and wolves.

Kcsselheim said at the end of their trip, he fell none of the expected c.'<hilaration-no hurry 10 return 10 life on the "outside." " I came to push my limits and lo sec how much I could take. Instead, I discovered how much more I wanted," he said.

College athletics try for smoother road brian walker 11 \ diflicul1 and almoM useless to pmlict what the ne,t issue over college athletics will~ a_bout. but I guarantet ii \I ill, like all others, spark plenty of contro, Cl'1>)'. And, yes, many \\ ill wbme and pout over the problem. Only typical. So much for the future.

An interesting feature is the number of rcttnt proposals that have aroused nauonal attention.

Many arc now commonplace in a spon. while others have come and gone a.nd will never be seen again. Man)' are right 10 some; many are .,.Tong.

Let's face it. Athletics is not or nC\er will be perfect. But we do, and rightfully so, accept them as they arc. That pan has been pretty much established.

V. e conunue 10 unprove athletics piece by piece 10 the best of our knowledge. Take a look at how far t~y ba"e come ID recent years C.'(cludiog the lov. points, of course.

Hov. do you think the rm emon of spans would feel if lhey had forsccn v.hat r.heir games d~eloped mto? It's like Sttmg the first person to slam duru. a basketball happy until he witnessed a Mich.ad Jordan dippsy-do-<!wu:eroo Befort too mlll} rules change. I •ould hke to express some r.houghLS on a current issue that might help piece togelhct a puzzle.

The problem. How do man) athletes of today spell strength? You got it. S-T-E-R-0-1-D-S. An easy one-old nev.-s. Not a problem wir.h an uncounlllble amount of cases, but bound 10 be heard of again.

One root of this problem might be the root of college-high school. A recent Journal of rhe American Medical A.ssoaafton study suggests one in 1S high school senior boys (500,000) have used or are using anabolic: steroids.

Regardless of hov. effective lhc study is, schools need to educate srudcrus about the dangers. The

drugs' suspected side effects include liver damage, heart disease, shrunken testes, lowered sperm production, aggressiveness, increased body-hair growth and acne, doctors say.

Users often hear only positive results of steroids. The popular Ben Johnson incident is an excellent example. Many people sec ii as an amazing feat and arc influenced to run what was believed to be a world's record while taking steroids .

It might still be effective, but not nearly as much as if. say, Johnson took third.

There has been talk of college testing of recruits. A bad idea? Not if numbers increase.

Another thought is how the drug-test program is designed. There is a clear knowledge if and when the athletes will randomly be tested.

It seems 10 me the only detected athletes are unsophisticated of performance-<nhancing drugs.

This makes the process more difficult to detect abusers. Exception: In many cases, steroids will stay in the system for up to a year.

Stay tuned, and watch the rocky road of college athletics continue to smooth out.

Competition is defined

by Waller Ross

Alfie Kohn wants to eliminate competition from our cultures.

Kohn. a leading critic of America's obsession wilh competition. spoke in lhe C·A Feb. 6 as pan of ConvOCll.tions Wccl. on the inherently detrimental er, feels o r competition. Competition hampers cooperation, productivity. motivation and crcauvity, and is the "antithesis or cxccllcncc." according lo Kohn The obsession with compet ition breeds only ill~ffccts because in order for someone lo "win" there must always be someone that "loses." As a result, success is confused with victory. according 10 Kohn. author of "No Contest: The Case Against Competition." " Competition is a l)'pe of repression and the human co~l is staggering," he said. "Compctiuon 1s 10 ~lf~~tc:cm a} \ugar i\ to teeth."

For instance. people can e).ercise their religious bchefs. students can choose their own classes. pc:ople can p:1nicipatc in open clrctions a.nd Congress (not the milimy) will choose the president in the fu ture, he said.

Finkel called Gorbachev a " 1en· smart guy" and said the KGB hates him because he limits its power. Gorbachev called the KGB a part of the govern· ment, not thego~cmment iLSclf. he said.

Finl.el expressed feelings that GorbnchC\' may not last the year. however.

Alcoholism is a major problem in the Soviet Union. Fi nkel said, 11.i th .io percent of the men and IS percent of the women as known akoholics. The reason so many people drink, he said. is because Lhcre is much depression there.

Many factors cont ribute to this depression. he said, but especially the high rate of inna1ion and the lnck of food. There is no time for the people to rein.,, Finkel said, so the)' tum 10 vodka.

It is a myth that competition build\ dwacter. Studicsshov. that people who arc coopcrauve ate better ad;usted. It's alway\ true I.hat you like people better when you arc coopmuivc th.an 1A-hc:n you compete. Compet,mon p1a onr against another creatini nvals, •bic.h only leads to houilny, ac:cordmg 10 Kohn.

Another is the lack of businrn or JOb experience on the pan of 1eenagers lca1. ing school. He said Gorbache~ has pur· chased a special edition of lhe board game "Monopoly" just to help 1c:a,h the young peopk suni\al in a capi1alis1ic "orld.

Another problem, be said. is the 120 different nauonalities and 150 different languages dividing Russia In addition, the .is million Muslims in Russia ba,e an average of sc,cn duldreo in each family, Finkel said.
