Wrestler in altercation at Zip's

by Brandon Koonl1 Sentinel Reponer No charges were filed against an NIC wres1ter who was allegedly involved in a brawl that left another man unconscious with a broken arm Sept. 30. said Mike Wolf of tbe Coeur d'Alene Police Depanment.

According 10 police reports, rwo men started the dispute when they drove through Zip's Drive-In on Sherma n Avenue about 8 p.m. making derogatory comments 10 some high school students

standi ng in the parking lot.

Witnesses told Coeur d' Alene Police the men began laughing and making comments 10 a t 5-year-old female s tudent from Lake Ci1y High School.

She reportedly asked lhe men if they had a staring problem and if they would like 10 talk about it. Witnesses said they yelJed obscenities at each other and the men drove away.

Police report s said 1h01 about five minutes later. the men returned with a "very large" friend, a wrestler from NIC.

All three go t out of 1he carr and approached lhe girl and her friends who were in a group of 20-25 people. They demanded an apology. The wrc.stler 1old police lhat his friends were offended at being cussed out. They were not from this country and dido ' I understand why lhe girl would talk 10 them this way.

T he wrestler told police that things had calmed down when Dean Stevens, a 26-year-old Coeur d. Alene man, come out of Zip's and told t hem. "Don't be dissin' the home-girls.'' Stevens took off

his shin and approached the wrestler.

At this point, the s1a1cmenlS given by 1he witnesses and the wrlllotler differ ns to what happened next.

The wrestler told police that the crowd made a circle around him and Stevens.

He said Stevens pushed him and hit him in the left eye. so he knocked Stevens 10 l11e ground. He said Stevens got back up and he grabbed Steven's head and threw him 10 the ground ngain.

Cultural communication class scheduled for spring semester

by Murad Khullie, St/111111'1 Rt'/Hlrtc•r

S tudent, can get ac4uainted "ith Turkc:y. S1ng,1pore, Ireland, Bra,il und mnny other countne, b) tal..ing NIC'~ new intercullurnl co111111unica1io11 counc. Included in the: clas~ arc various culture~. cu~tom~. religions nnd people.

The course will be offrred spring semester and will fulfill NIC's core cultural diversity n.."'Cjuirement.

The cour~c was propo~cd in 1996 Bfter the departmental program review during which a visiting team from other colleges que~ tioncd th e communication department· s commi1men1 10 include more cultural diversity assignments nnd credit~ in the courses. The party encouraged NIC ~o work toward instilu t ing an 1n1ercult11ral communication course in the curriculum.

"It was a long process." said Mona Klinger, communications instructor, "However, in March of 1997. the proposal passed."

The course was offered thi s seme ster. It was later canceled because only four students signed up.

"Since it wi" 11011n cumlogs and 11·, a brand new cour.c, people did not know about it," Klinger ~aid.

NIC\ communications department is concerned with cultural differences and their effects on t'Ommunication in 1he community, Klinger said.

The student~ Klinger will be taught 10 recognize intercultural ~imi lnrities, difference~ and finding com mon ground bc:twc:en different cultures, Klinger ~aid.

"Here in North Idaho. we don't have con1ac1 wi1h many different people," Klinger said. "I don ·1 want students to be frustrated or di~appointed when they go 10 the other places in the country."

The new cou rse i~ a three-credit elective. Also studenlS may fulfill their cultural diversity requirement by taking the course. " Neverth eless. students have 10 compl ete Communication 101 class before uiking this one," Klinger said.

"Tlw clas\ will have about 25 \ludent~: di~cussion and in1erac1ion u:chniquc~ will be used" The: course will be taught by Klinger. who taught the class in 1994 for Lewis· Clark State College.

Klinger said that one of the main pam of the course will be the research ll\Signment. Student~ will pick one country and study its history. religion, culture, demography. economy, politics and ~ociety. Then 1hcy will give a presentation obout the country they ,tudied.

"Thi~ 11,,ignmen1 will teach students nbout the communicmion process in and acros~ cultures and between culture~ ...

Klinger said.

She snid she will invi1e international s1udenLs to ~hare their cultures with the American SI udcnts. It wi II make stucll:nts aware of foreign students in North lduho.

"The in ternational students come from differen t places in the world and 1hey have interesting cultu res, and we a lso have n wonderful cullure.''

Klinger said.

One of her ultimu1e goal.s. she said, is 10 have s1Uden1S travel around the world ond be proud of their own cuhure.

Hikers snowy in Hell's Canyon

by Wade Dorrell S,•111111t•I Rt'flOrter

Aflcr a night ,pent in fragile tents on approprinlely nnmcd Windy Ridge. \\e began a 6-m1lc tn.:I. inio the dc.:p mouniain w1ldcrnc:i,,. The tmil lo,t elc:vauon quickly, only 10 n:g;rin 11 und more a, we approached our dc:\lim111on, Ba\1n Lake. ,\ group or 12 left NlC Oct 3 on a weekend backpackingjoomey to the Seven Dev11\ or Idaho. Jason Luker. Outdoor Pur.-011\ coordlnntur. guided the \\cckend of hiking and rugged outdoor livmg.

Although this ad,cnture wa, originally planned for the base of Mt Rainier, weather condition~ there forced a change of dc,11n11tion. ln,te:rd, we mode the live hour mad trip to l fell, Cmyon Nmionnl Recreation An:u, 17 mile~ southwe\t of Riggin,, Idaho.

A, we fukcd. the weather become more like condition, we would huve faced m Mt. Rainier.

Throughout the lif\t dny, the wn played hide-and-scel. behind cloud\, and at time,. pellet-like corn $now covered the ground.

Even in the fucc of wch unu~ually hur<,h condition~. laughter wa, heard over the crunch of ,now under our feet. Smile.\ prevailed over the r:fcmenh ,ind 1in.:d leg~.

When WC umvcd lll B:L~in Lake, C\'Cryonc wa~ ready 10 enjoy a hot me.ii ond a good mghl', sleep. After ~cuing up our tents around the lnl.e. we all ate together un n rock ilutcropp111g. We wanned our handi. over the Move, and ,mclkd the Sll\'Ory hot ~,cam from our mcab a, it bellowed from 1hcpcm.

Our wet boots and clothes tumoo to ice a, the sky turned clear and dnrl... scuing over the danling white pea~\.

Shi,·cr.. ~et m. and one by one we snuck away 10 our lent,. Within minute, of ~liding 11110 our ,lecpin!! bag~. we were :bleep. A thin ,hcct or nylon wa, the only ,helter

ph<>to couru,oy of Cory Roabhl

Lyle Misbach an d Andren Aker bundle up against the 4 feet of snow with smiles. The trip was origiinally set for Mt. Rainer, but Lreats of snow changed locations. They got the snow anyway. betwcc:n our head~ and a licld of sparkling ,tar,.

In the morning, we awoke to the sound of softly foiling snow. The once-clear sky was rcplnccd with n dnrk gray haze that seemed low enough to reach up and touch.

We l>Cmmblt:d in the ,now. trying 10 purify water, cook our breakfasts nnd pack up camp. By the time the snow covered the 1ri.-es, ,w were on our way back to the van.

On the wiry home, cushioned si:m, ,oothed our aching backs and legs. In

conversation. we found humor in aspects of the trip that would huve seemed tonurous only dnys before.

NIC student and lirst-timc backpacker Amy Knox said she found the trip harder than she had expected.

"I really i:njoycd it. even though sometimes I 1hough1 I was going 10 die."

Knox said.

She said she was willing 10 go again. even with the harsh first-time experience.

Student and experienced backpacker

Cheryl Costigan said she enjoyed herself on the trip. For her. the company of the group mode the trip memorable.

Costigan said sht: had fun chmbing through the snowy condition~. even though it added an element or dangu.

As we left our winter wonderfJ.nd behind. we found oul'$e lves wanung tu n:livc the experience. Snow or not, the wee'Lend trip was an c,plornuon of not Jlll>t an untamed wilderness but or some of the meaning of life itself.

magine life without the arts. No music, theaters or museums. Give up your CDs and videos. Forget about the movies and te levision. The arts touch our lives in so many ways that to e liminate them would be to eliminate culture itself.

Fortunately, the arts and humanities are alive and we ll at NIC because o f the dedi cat io n of the inslructors and s1aff wi1hin Boswell Hall.

Her boundless energy and enthusiasm are apparent as she darts aboul the main offi ce answering phones, making copies and challing with employees and students.

'The arts arc those wonderfu l Lhings about human beings tha1 need to be shared," Johnson said.

The theme of shari ng and dedication is echoed throughout the staff a1 Boswell and especially by Todd Snyder, director of 1he symphony and choir.

"Whenever you see something good, like 1he music depanment al Nie;¡ Snyder said, ''it is because oflhe good leadershi p a nd the dedicat ion of those involved."

Snyder, dressed in blue jeans and sweater, became animated as he spoke with passion abou1 the score he created for the college's production of "Rent" and the many other projects he is involved in.

The art of photography kindled the passions of instruclor Phil Corlis as he spoke of 1he imponance of balance in 1he ans.

Non-conformity makes a trend of individuality "Whal do you mean you don't like The Mlahty Mighty Bossloncs? They were your favorite band la! week!"

"But now they're 50 lrcndy!"

ConVfflali011$ like this one me IIOI uncommon for lhose in my age group of 18-22. and I myself am completely befllcd. h seems that since the X· Gcmeration iJ now almost 30. l"< lho,,;e of us in our lare teens and • early 20s have decided to create o new label for ou~lvcs: The Backloshers.

I o.m sure thnt thc:R' i~ wmc reason behind rhi• ucnd ngnin.\l trendine~~ The only one that I can come up with i, that we' ve booome so caught up in our que(I for individuality Iha! we arc now forced to keep close watch on the working.~ of the cntcnainment world and the opinions of others 10 ensure 11w we will never become followers.

Of comv. rhe Bosstoncs example is not o perfect one. It doelin'I entirely show complete haired for confonnil}' that bas been ri, ing since the early '90s, but it doc.i show the kind of thinking lhal my peers seem to be falling into. You !lee. we hate cvnylhing that you like.

One excellent example con be seen in a group lhlll will always keep me in II conManl state of confusion: skater/punks. Boy. do they HATE trendy people! Ai;k them; they' ll tell you.

What 1s n pillar aoywny'/ "You're ndt only representing JU5t yourself or your college. but you'rt• rcprcscnting Coeur Wes Woods d' Alcnc. also." I have enough problems 111mc01bering Snoop repre,eo~ tl1e LBC Opinion and I'm \Uppo..ed 10 remember thib'/ Sorry, but I doo·1 think so.

For one thing. I hate this place. I' ve lived here 21 yeaf'i of mnorry life in lht ~:1111e: hou~c. wilh Ill)' pareoh so don't say. "He's a CaHfomian"-or "He's a losi:r."

So whnt d~, thi, ha,,c lo do with 1hc wrestlers, right?

S11nple.

Nobody looks up Ill them. ~ 1~n·1 lhe wwr: or WCW: tl1is i~ Idaho. In elementary school I loved proti:~,1onal wrestling. Nol the "real" wrestling. I remember when I tried ou1 for "r.:al" Wre!-lling and wa, upse1 bccauM.> you couldn' t u,;e a chair or a piledriver. And where was 1ha1 steel cage?

Nobody looks up to Ronald Bell because he'& the interim president of the college. I don't hear kids saying. "Wow, look at lhe man's ~l11Sses! Those ore hello smooth!" And no one looks up 10 me, except for maybe a kid who I'm a Big Brother to for the Big Brother program. in which being a role model is somewhl\l of a ttquiremen1.

Besides. police chiefs and mayors gel pulled ov.:r for drunken driving or wha1ever and there arcn 'l really any mmifieations Wha1soevcr. A teachi:r here at college doesn't have 10 worry 11bout being a role model 10 anybody unless they want to lake up 1h01 rule.

Teachers smoke, drink. probably even gel high, all thl! :.luff 1hnt kids lllln'1 suppo\Cd to do. The only rc.spon~ibili1y 1hq huve i, no1 u, do 11 on the Job.

Athletics, academic scholarshi p amounts equal Dear E<lilor: Contrary to popular belief. NIC docs not pay any money 111 schol:IJ'\h1p, for athletics. Opinion on cmnpu, is that more money from the ,chool is avniloble 1a a1hle1ics than to academic studen~. Thai i~ not the case.

What is actually avo1l11blc from the ~chool for aihlccic., an· 1ui1ion wu11cr< Whal the tuition woivcr docs is reduce 1hc tuition co,1 or pay, the tuition complcttl)'. bul no money 1s actually given 10 the n1hlc1c.

Conversely. more ac1uol ,cholorship money lrom the school,, given co academic s1uden1s as oppc>M:d 10 a ,impk tuition woi1cr for athletes. The mom:y thnt is gil'cn 10 academic ~tudcnL~ i~ u~ed for paying tuition as wdl 3S 01her mi">Cellnn1.'0U'> 11em<, ~uch a.s book~. school supplies. etc.

More money :wailoble is for a1hlc1ic Mudcnii., but this money doc, not com,• from NIC. but from booster clubs. proceed~ from ~poning evcnh and pm Jlc donation~ TI1i~ money, on cop of the gmnts che 5Chool offer;., doe, odd up 10 mo~ money that is availoble 10 academic ,1udcn1~. bul the money given 10 uthlcle\ and ncndcmics by the school is nearly equnl.

The numbers for the 1996-97 show 1hn1$229,784 wa~ av:iitnble for ncodemic ~cholorships. Zero dollnrs w,.s a,•nilable for nthlctic scholnrsh1p~. Tuition wn11-ers equaled $56,697 for ocodcmics nnd $297,929 for ath letics--0 10101 of $286.-181 for ocodemic studcms and S297,929 nvnilnble for a1hle1ics. . .

Many people feel thac the school gi~cs more money 10 athletics. Howcv~r. ~,s IS not t111c. 'Inc amouni of money offered by the school or sports and academics 1s nearly cquol.
