The policy will disallow smoking within any building or vehicle owned by North ldago College. with the CX· ccption of the Srudcm Union Building and the college donnitory. acx:ording 10 senate member Mn.xine Schmitz.

SchmitL. a computer science 11nd business administration instructor, said that since the SUB Bnd dorm arc funded by student fees, students arc to de--elop the smoking policies for those two buildings. This process will invoh·e coordination with ASNIC and the Student Union and Dormitory Council, she said. The policy must then be submitted through the normal channels-college senate. administrative council (deans and president) and then 10 the board of trustees-for final approval.

The S11 outdoor facilities fee North Idaho College has coUccted from students since 1982 was declared illegal by 1st District Court Judge Ric:hard Magnuson on Thursday. April 20.

The fund. which has been accumulating for the last seven years, is approximately $300,000.

According 10 Magnuson's ruling, the Associated SrudentS of North Idaho College (ASNIC) and their nttomies must decide what they want to do with the money and submit it for his approval.

"Our only nJ1erna1ive is to ask that the money be rcrumed 10 the s1uden1.1." said Mary Jo Hansen, ASNIC president.

M:ignuson wrote in his memorandum decision that colleges may charge fees for scr.•icC$, but students must receive some type of service when they pay the fee; the outdoor facilities fee did not provide any such service.

A second occurrence following in the wake of Thursday's decision was a hah of the .. Meet and Confer" meetings dealing with teacher contracts, acx:ording to Meet and Confer Committee Chairman Mih Turley.

Turley said it is entirely possible that the reason the contract ciiscussions were tempora.rily hahed is due 10 Magnuson's decision in favor of the students. He said he thinks the college adminis1a1ors just wanted to step back and lllke a look and see how lhis decision will afrcct the budget.

Andrus promotes Human Rights Week

by David Carkhuff A 20-foot birthday cake and a "present'' from Gov. Cecil Andrus marked the birthday of the Idaho Human Rights Commission on April 17.

"You're "i mcssing in Idaho's history a his1orical moment," Andrus said os he sat center stage in lhc C-A Auditorium and sisncd a proclamation initiating Human Rights Weck in Idaho.

The governor's present finalitcd the slated activities for April 17-23. including a human rights picnic in the Rathdrum Ci· ty Park on April 22 and an interfaith service in St. Pius Catholic Church on April 23. Following the week's theme of orange ribbons for peace, 1he auditorium rippled "ith orange balloons held by about 400 area school children.

Andrus shared the stage wilh legislators and human rights ac1iv1St.s in a stance agains1 racism and bigotry.

"I think it's a celebration of the inherent dignity of the cm ire human famil),' · An-

drus said. "The message "e send toda; is that e, el) member of our socie() is cntitl· eel to ropcct and dignity. " The appeal was not lost on the gradeschoolers m auendance. The Rev Happ~ Watkins read the Marun Luther Kmg, Jr. "I Have a Dream" speech, tllld in 1he silence following lhe refrain "Let Freedom Ring" one child cried "Yeah!" with excitement.

Parents afterward gave posilhe feedback about how their cbildrcn reacted to the program. according 10 Master of Ceremonies Tony Stewart. The children understood a great deal about the topics discu.sscd.

The situation 111 North Idaho was likened to a playground setting by Marilyn Schuler, an e.1-<lirector of the Idaho Human Rights Commission. She relalcd ho"' children at school (people in Idaho) rallied against bullies (racists) "hen the princip.:11 and teachers (the go,ernor and legislators) "ere absent.

worst bullies we reside~ in the loveliest part of the nation.'·

Gov. Cecil Andrus

Bau, rounder or the commission, said il cffecuvcly combattcd discrimination with meager funds.

"A lot of people thought that if they could keep the cJa ws off it. It would be a paper tiger." Batt said.

Other subjccu of discussion inc:ludcd the progress between Idaho Indian tribes and state leaders told by Ernest Slcnsg.at of the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Council.

"We're fonuruuc to have people 10 talk to who look out for our rights.'' Stensgar said.

"Let us make a commitment that for the next hundred years we will not judge pco, pie by race, religion, color or sex," said Jesus Berain, the first paid staff member of the Kootenai County Ta.sic Force on Human Relations.

At the celebration's cooclusioo, audie'ncc members flooded onto the back 13wn to hdp cat the 20-foot calce. Even 1111th 2.700 pieces. it only took the children ~d few adults 40 minutes 10 devour the birthday calce, SLcwart noted with amusement.

Retrospective view gives new insights From the optinuslS' rclrospcctivc view point, life and times a1 North Idaho Col· lege hnvc been preuy good this past academic year.

Challenges were me1. goals established and some achieved, while others went unresolved due to procrastication or cir· cumstanccs that spun out of control.

These things will always be a part of life-in or out or school.

Rccenlly. campus smokers won what might be considered a favorable com· promise when the college senate appro"· ed the revi.sed smoking ban poliC). The compromise ~hould be regarded as a model representation of how opposing faction\ in our soc,ecy can learn what it is like to v.ear the other pcr;on's shoes.

In this case, many non-smokers v.-cre cmpa1he1ic (cared enough about other people's needs, emouons, and righ1s 10 experience undemanding from a differcn1 perspec1ivc) toward smoke!"\. I! i~ unfonuna1e thnt 01hen m our $OCIC· ty cannot allow themselves 10 be em· pathetic towa rd others also (i.e. skinheads and other racial bigo1s).

Hopefully, the demonstration "Walk for Racial Equality" this past weekend in Coeur d'Alene proved n poini thal the whil e suprcmaclSls m this count ry seem to be missing. Gov. Cecil Andrus O:· pressed the state's aui1ude toward the philosophy of white supremacists, "The people of Idaho stand united against hate groups.·' Their violent actions have no place in a civilized society and should not be tolerated.

Unfonunatcly, ignorance seems 10 be nt tbe roo1 of this problem. Many of the youths thnt are panicipati.ng m the "skinhead-Aryan movement" don't have a clue about the warped ideals of Hi1ler's Natl Germnny, according 10 what some of the Washington fa.

Prisoners of War group said at their meeting in Spokane on Friday.

I! is a shame more people arc unable or unwilling to pursue higher education experiences that can open their minds to sec beyond their noses. Even a small college like NIC can provide that enlightenment.

Health program defended Senuncl edJtor, After reading the aniele on risin1 student hcnlth costs, April 13, I musl respond.

Most of the studenu I sec ha,c no mcd ica.1 msurance except through S1udent Heahh.

Many students arc UI iransiuon, going through divorce, single parents, or retraining after lay-offs in local industries.

My statistics from health history forms indicate that out of S44 students who responded 303 had other insurance and 241 had no other iMurancc.

Available jobs in t.b.is area are pan.time in service industries at minimum wage with no be-nefiu. Many students work two or three jobs to exist.

ThCR are no fr« or low cost health cl.inics available in th.is area and no "freebies'' in the balth care system.

One s t.a:temcnt in the anicle was incorrect. With two policies, the NIC student in· sura.occ pays the first S500 !hen the second insuranee pays.

Student Health bas always been cost effective. The tntirt cost of doctor and nu~ wages and medical supplies is just under S30,000 per year. During fall semesw of 1988, doctor visits totaled 412 and nurse visits totaled 1087 for a tot.al of 1499 SW· dent Health visits. Classes were taught on health issues, and disabled students were assisted as spec:iaJ needs occurred.

I recommend the ASNIC board poll students on bow many actually have otbct medical insurance and then explore more cost effective alternatives to the currcot student health in.sura.nc:c policy.

All post secondary schools in Idaho have some t)'J)C of low cost medical uuurancc a\'ailablc to students. Personal concern for the welfare of each student should continue to be our top priority, for they are the only reason any of us are employed here at NIC.

Conscientious parents question day-care controversy shannon hayward The day care dilemma for working parents is being labeled around Washington, D.C. as lhe "big issue" or the l990's. With more and more mothers joining the 111-ork force, young children arc pla~ in I.he CIR or a second pa n y-and often ....;th great guilt on the parenu pan.

Coll!Cltnuous parenu don't jun leave their children anywhere and most truly are concerned about young ones left wuh someone else. The alternatives vary in the .c:arch for ,uitable child care. Does Johnny go to the private or public day care center? Does Grandma come 10 the house and take care of him or docs he go a cr0$S the street to Sury's house where her mom watches him?

A controversy e,usts in Cong.re» o,er the proposed

for Bcuer Child Cate Savic~ or 1988," also known as the ABC Bill. This bill would allot federal

"Atl

funds for <la)· care to the sum:s b3.sed on child popula • lion and per .:apita income of the state. ABC has been argued cx1cmi,·ely in the 1988 Congressional session and is once agam an issue of the 100th Coagrcss.

country and endo!'1iffllents Crom 130 ruu.iorull organizations, including the National Education Associlltion.

When it looked as though the S2.S million bill would pass through Congress. the church-sUlte issue arose.

Federal legislaoon arises ou1 or the sheer magnirude of the issue. In the past. preschool children, for the most pan, were cared for in the home. Bu1 lha1 has changed. In 19SO, only 12 percent of women "'i th children under age six "'orked outside the home. Today thls figure is o,cr SO percent. Almost SO percent of theemployees m the v.ork force are women and this figure is expected to rise dramatically in the I 990's.

Apparcn1ly, nearly 40 pcrc:cn1of children in day care facilities are in church related centers and the debate was "bethcr these facilities should receive aid from ABC since the bill applied only 10 non-religious centers. The separation of church and smte issue came 10 the surface and George Bush suggested in his presidential campaign that a S1,000 10.,: credit be given in this case.

It is esumated there are o,-er ten million children under the age or six with mothm working, yei only 2.S million day care slots are a,.ulable. The question is, where do these other ag.h1 million children go? Who

taJ..es care of THE.\4'?

Another problem in the child care arena is the

e., -

pcnsc. The l\crage c:os1 is about S.3,000 per )''3T per cbild. This is quite a chunk out or a low income

budget. The federal go'trnmenl allows pannts 10 deduct a pon1on of this e.tpense on their income ta..'t, howe-,·cr.

In the meantime, as legislators and advocates and opponents argue over the cost of the bill, the indw1duals that the bill is supposed to benefit-the children-suffer.

Rescarc:h has shown 1ha1children's tempermen1and personalities arc formed in the first five yea rs of their lhes. This alone should prompt passage or the bill in order to insure that these young people, in the absence or their parents, have the best care ovailablc.

It certainly seems logical, 1ha1 in the long run, the ABC Bill is an inves1mcnt in the future of this coun• Ir). After all, these youngsters will someday be America's work force!

Trustees discuss current events

by Darrel Beehner

the library is under staffed, bas serious equipment shortages. too link space and

In a unanimous decision, the North Idaho College Board of Trustees approved a proposal set forth by n rn Christie, division chair of the communications division, to have the Communication-ArtJ Building named the Joyce Boswell Communication-Fine Ans Building.

The vote was takc:n at the monthly Board of Trustees meeting held Thursday, April 20 in the Bonner Room. Christie presenled the board with signed petitions requesting that the currently unnamed C-A Building bear the name of the late NIC instructor, Joyce Boswell.

Mary Carr, libnry director, presented the board with a mixture of what she said was "good news and bad news."

The good news, Carr said, was that the library staff was one of the best rhings going for the library, and it had received two recent grants; one will provide Lasercat (electronic database) access to regional library records, allowing N"IC to begin inputting records or its own materials into that database. A second grant will improve the library's business materials. The library will also receive a grant from Lewis and Clark State College for a telefaxsimuli (fax) machine. The machine will speed document delivery to LCSC's Coeur d'Alene students, Cnrr said.

The bad news, Carr said, is the fact that

poor space utilization.

Carr priarit.ized the library's needs as staff and equipment first, ~ additional materials.

Reporting on lihm-y plluming, Mike

Patano, a rcpresenutive of Architect's Weu, said be is concerned that a schedule oullined by the State Department of Public Works will require lhe preliminary design phase of the building be compkted v.ithin a month. mcluding a redesign of lhe in.erior.

The prel1011.nary desig.n ,r.iJI not, however, be caSt in 5t0De, Pai.ano said, and each dcvdopemcnt phase in the desJgn process will allow for modifications.

Construction on lhe library could begin in as early as three monuu, Plll.llllO snid.

In rdaled librtl) t•·NJts, Steve Schenk, dean of college relations and de"elopmmt, asked the board to fonnally request the North Idaho Foundation accept the cb.allenge of raising S600,<XX> m local fun<h 10 support the library proJect.

Heinous 'Hedda' heaps havoc

by Monica Kiddle It's amazing how quickly the course of a person's life can be altered.

Within Lwo days, a man experienced the deaths of three people: one of natural causes. one was murdered, and the other commilted suicide. And those two da}'I were trapped within a mere three hours-three houri of drama on the stage io the Communication-Art& Auditorium.

NIC's drama department presented Henrik ,bsen's Heddu Gubler oo campus April 21 and 22, and will take t.he production to Sandpoiot's Panida Theal.cr April 28 and 29.

The play is considered to be one of Ibsen's best works, and Lelis the story of a woman obsessed with controlling the lives of those she hated and loved. Hedda relieves her boring life by preying on lhe weaknesses of others, eventually destroying several lives.

Hedda Gobler is accurately billed as a serious drama. There is quite a bit of action in the play, but most of the drama is related through the dialogue. lo fact, the dialogue is the key 10 the whole play, especially since a cons1ant undercurrent of symbolism lies just

beneath the surface of tbe actors' "'°Ord.s. The play allows vuy few moments of comi1: relief until the ''eSi end of lhe la5t act, which ironically also contains the most climactic scene of I.he play.

NIC drama ms1.n:u:1or Tim Rarick did a wonderful job of caning the play. Only two of the ~ vcn paru arc played by imdenis; the otbtrs arc plaJ·ed by NIC irutroct.ors., com:muniry members and a 8lJCSl actor from Spokane. The actors Cit their paru "rellcipeciaily in age-and the cast worked tog'Cthc:r 10 presenting very bdiC'vablc charactC"IS. NIC speub instructor MODll Klinger gnYe an out.standing performance as Hedda Gabler, The only problml with her cb.ara= is tha.r Hedda Gabler is a bitch; The woman Ii evil to I.be core. and it just isn't natural for the audience to hate I.be lead chtll'llctcr.

Klinger did a good job of playing an almost schizopbrfflic pan-whni interacting with the other c:haractcrs she >A-"M 9'Vlll and caring, but alone, hC'T private thou,ghts mealed the cold, c.akulating bitch that she (Gabler) ms.Jly is_.

Chad Klinger, oailo played Hedda's bumbling husband George Tesman, also gave a good pcrfonnaoa'.

It was a relief that be W1l5 likable. Spokane actor Dennis Redford played the no1-quhe-so-honorable Judge

Soloist

Guitar program set

by Linette Fre eman Versatile performer Cathy Brae.ton will be featured in a Corree House-style performance on May 9, from 11 a.m. 10 1.2:30 p.m. io the Stud.ent Union Building, according to Activities Director Becky Tot1en.

Braaton has performed professionally for the past seven years and has also been touring as a solo artist for the past four years.

Braaion creates her original sound by playing rhythmic acoustic and d.ectric

guitar along with her own original creations and interpretations of music by such artists as Richie Lee Jones, Traocy Chapman.

Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Rain. ln 1985 and 1987, Braaton won four awards in the Nashville Music City Song Writers Festival for her original sryle of music, Totten said.

"Cathy Braatoa is one of lhe best performers I have seen in this performance circuit. I t.ltink everyone will reall)' enjoy her," To11en said.

Strings

Quartet to visit NIC

by David Carkhuff One st.ring quartet will salute another when t.he Spok'30e String Quartet performs at the North Idaho College Communication-Arts Auditorium on April 30.

Beginning at 8 p.m., the program will include the Beethoven Quartet in B Major, Opus 18, No. 6 and Franz Schubert's Quartet in G Major, Opus 161. Cos1of admission is $6 for adults and seniors and S2 for high school age students and under.

A highlight of the concert will be a performance of "Wcavings'' by percussionist Martin Zysitowski, a music professor al

Eastern Washington Uruversity and tympanist for the Spokane Symphony OrcheslI1l.

Written by William Krafi, "Wcaviogs" received first prize at the Composers' Record Society Competition io Philadelphia in 1985. The piece will be dedicated to the Kronos String Quartet.

The quartet, which played at I.be Met in Spokane on April 25, has, like I.be Spokane Sering Quartet., gained national notcriety.

For its part, I.he Spokane String Quartet has performed a1 New York's Carnegie Hall and toured five European countries in 1984. Violinists Kelly Farris and Jane Blegen, violist Claire Keeble and cellist Achilles Balahaois compris.e the g.roup.

Brack, and his performance was e.,cellent.

The naive 11.lld romcwha1 1:i~terical Mn. lilvstcd was played by drama student Heather Kaufmarr. Her part V.'llS not overacted, but at t.imes her high voice, coupled with the hysterics, madr it dirficult 10 understand her lines. 'But once again, she gave ao e,'tcellent pcrformancr.

The othi:r s.tlldcnt actor, David Gunter, played Hedda's e.'1.-lover and Mrs. Elvsted's present lover, Eilert Lovborg. He was bdivablc as the 1-promise-to-dobeHer rerovering alcoholic playboy, requiring the audience to fed sorry for him, yet cxa.~rated with him a l the Ylllle tim.e.

The l!lllin attraction of the sel. wns a huge painting of General Q(lblcr, done by NIC nrt instructor Joe Jonas. The !SJ,;20 painting served as a backdrop for the set, and Rn.rick said that Jono.s worked on it for iibom a month. The enonnous presence of General Gabler is just pnrt of the symbolism encountered 1hroughout the play.

Htdda Gubler is an unusunl, thought-provokJng pla)'. lt not only reveals 1he character of a manipulntivc, ytt fasdnatiog woman, it shows how the weak tlln be willingly conuoUcd.

All that jazz on spring agenda

by David Carkhuff Jazz Company '89 wiU oHer music on April 29 from the vocal group's lat.est LOUr-to Rogers High School and Gonzaga Prep. The same selections the vocalists performed 10 show off North Idaho College's musie program 10 Spokane high school students will be on the program Saturday at 8 p.m. i.n lhe Communication-Arts Auditorium.

The 13 vocalists will sing two ballad$ a cappeUa, the old classic ''I'U Be Seeing You" and 'lhc slow love song "My Romance." The latter involves " a very thick harmony," director Michael Muzatko said. These SODgB, be added, bring to memory the Four Fr,csbmen and the Hi-Lo's and other vocal groups of the genre.

On I.be other se.lectioos, bassist Tom Rutley, pianist Ann Paul and perCU5Sionist Jim Gra)' will accompany wjth a threepiece rhythm .section.

Mumtko highlights "Up the Ladder 10 I.be Roof," a recent eouy on t.he To p-40 chart by the Nylons, arranged by Spok.a:ne choir director John Walk.

A born section will also be oo band for I.be gospel song "Opcrawr" and Frank Sinatra's tune "l've Got You Uncier My Skin.'' Players include Derek Palm oa trumpet, Jay Carkhuff on trombone, Darrel Emore on =op.bone and Paul Hemeo-

way on guitar. Saxophonisl Elmore will also solo on "I've Got You Under My Skin." " We hnvea wide variety of musk, ranging from big ba od sound to a gospel radio show," Muzatlto said. "Every one of our pieces is different than Lhc others."

Admission costs SJ for adults, S2 for senior citi.7..eos and SI for students and children. Nre faculty and st.udeou can at· tend free o f charge with identirication.

The concert will be repeated on May 13 at Farragut State Parle Admission is free for the 4 p.m. performance by the lalcc, which coincides with programs by the Heart Association and the Office of the Aging.

Jazz Ensemble director Terry JonC$ helped plan the Farragut conce-rt with Al Leiser, the park ranger. Jone5 said they had work.cd toward bringing music 10 the area and fonuoately f.ouod a mutual time.

•·1 think we're going to do it year after year," Jones said of a concert at Farragut. " I've Got You Under My Skin" is an addition to the original school tour program.

Jazz. Company '89, along with I.be Cardinal Pep Band and the NJC Cbeerlcadm, ad\•ert.i.sed NIC to Spokane high school students on April J 3. The tour was good practice for the vocalis1$ as weU a., an informal recruitment, according to M.)l.Ulko. " ILlet the other schools k:now that NIC has a good program," Muz.aao sald.

GRANDMA IS A FRESHMAN

WELL TRAINED

By Loy Beare The sun SUC3/l1ed through the Wllldow, wanning the strong supple body that lay strclchcd out on the sofa. His chCSI rose and fell in a slow rhythm mat deoolCd sleep. But we weren't fooled; we knew that no movement escaped l11osc pale-blue cycs, lh31 no sound went unhcnrd. He allowed us 10 roam lus domain as we saw fit, only imposing his will on us when he required food or on the rare oc:c:asions when he felt the need for companionship.

His needs for companionship 100k different fonns. Sometimes he was content just lO hnvc someone in the same room w1ili him, but oilier limes he would demand more physical involvement from us. We would be coerced into games of cunning and speed or wrestling malChcs where. more oftcn ilinn not. one of us would come away with blood welling up ilirough some jaggedly !Om wound. He never apologi1.cd for huning us. and we accepted our pain and defeat with groce. never bothering with recriminations when he would tum his oock. tired of the game. and walk away.

His skill lllld cunning wcrcn'1 limilcd 10 just gnmcs; it showed itself in his ability to hunt as well. In the evening, nrmcd only wiili his sclf.~rance, his powerful legs would carry him cffonlcssly up the side of the mountain, where the dnrk shadows or I.he uccs would iastc his silent form before swallowing al l sight or him. No 1w1gs snapped... No leaves rustled... His movements were sure :ind silent as he searched for something 10 kill. He wns alen: looking for signs on the ground, smelling the air for n scent, listening for sounds nearby.

Strider w~ the uhimntc hun1er. After his prey w:is located (possibly n small bunny) he followed it, slmying sli&hlly behind or sometimes running p:irallcl. The bunny, sensing danger would &lance around nervously; it stood poised, ready 10 bolL But Strider wns persistent and Cllll'Cmely palienc hiding in shodows or under brush, not moving for full minuu:s n1 a time. llll,:ing pleasure in wa1ehing (some would s:ay playing with) his intended victim. Then, with lightening speed he would o.uack, ripping the thro:u out of the helpless creature. And o.s the warm blood suuncd the soft, white fur, he would lair the tender mc:u rrom its cnrc3S$.

Occasionally Stridcrs victim eluded him, but not often. Most mornings. when \·~ :,woke. 11.'C'd find the hc:id or his b.tesl catch adorning our front porch. Nc,'Cr would he bring his trophy inside: 11 remained out-ofdoors for us to take care of. We didn't mind though, for like the injuries Strider innJetcd, this was just another nspccl of his pcrson:ility. and we accepted it with httle question or iliought. h ne\'cr occurred tD us 1h31 his hule crueh1cs were anything but the most ru1ural of tr:iilS.

By L)·nn Joclcson Thl!t)··four )'C3J'S ago I Started college fresh out or IUglb'chool, but aficr only rour months, bronehill.l pncumonm put me m the hosp11Jll and OUI o( sdlool. After rteupcr.iung, I bcg30 a 10llg working cnrccr, but m the bxk of my muld, I always dn::uncd or tttuming to 'IIChool. Seven children and four gran<khildrcn Inter, I'm again II ruu.umc college fl'C'mman, along \\ith m) youngest daughter My clnSscs 11n' noc only stimulMing and in\'lgor.lUng but very rewarding. Evfn \\'lllkllli m the school buildings gwcs me tu1 aw11rcness o( my potc:nual. New confidc!lCc IS cme,ging, nlong wuh 1111 co.~ 10 study 3111.1 lc:im My mind I~ rcxhmg for ntw thought$, new concept$, and new idc:is.

With gu1d.11l('c and cncour.igcmcn1, my inslnl<:tors 11.rc drawing out loirnt wlcnt~ I fell I hnd but couldn't rind on my own.

La.~t year when my husband decided 10 go bxl. 10 college for his Mn.1te1's l'kgrcc. he felt thnt U)O mony yeais (30) hnd cllltxcd since bl' gradumcd, nnd at 53 he tahorod over the thought or spcndmg nnothcr two ycar1 1n school. I asl.ed him how old he would be in two mo.re years ,rho didn't go back to school. Smee then ho ha$ iold me often that after pondcnng thnl qucsuon. he rc:tlucd 1h.11 ul..lng two year; 10 go to school wasn't re.illy o problem. Regardless. he would be SS in two moic years, and tho desire 10 obtain an advanced degree save hun the t1r1ve to move forwartl. Now he is so cnihus111.Sue llbout col lcge 1.ha1 he 1s starung another 1wo years or study to obcam hi! Doctorate Degree.

The de&irc for nehic11cmcn1 Is nOI limilCd by age. Several years ago I read in the ncwsp:iper where a woman over 70 had just rccei vcd her law dcgn:e She was not looking for a cnreer change. R:11llcr, I would guess she wanlcd what I want- to gam knowledge and ~ills, to exp:111d my th1nk.ing, to activate my mind. My sa11sfaction comes from doing well on tesl!. wming m wcll·rescatchcd papetll, fi.nishing 3 good painung, ~ing applause a!ll!t giving a speech. Prior tD returning tD college, my knowledge was limilCd in many oscas. such tu history, sociology. litera111re, math, llnd science. But now a.s a college student, I enjoy a full ac.adcmic schedule and carry 18 credits. YC$, I have had sixne suwful momcnl!. but 1 feel lh3t If I expose myself 10 some risks. I can savor even more lhc succcsscs. Through hard work and de1.cm11nation, I plan on havmg many suc:cessl:$. My goal now is at least a foor· year degree.

There are tldvant.agC$ to au.ending college at my age. I approach classes with more cooJidcoce and dedication thnn I did 34 years ago. Of course, I have many yt::ll'S' cxperi.cnce lO draw upon when writing essays about raising children, or giving infOfflltltional speeches oo competlti•e t.rapshooti.ng. or ~ing 19S0s behavior.

The number of non-traditional suidcntS is qW1C high; thea\uage age of swdctlts is 28. ~illg out or plac:c ne,·cr occurred co me.

During my first d:ISS on lhc ru:si day. an 18ycar-old girl ask.cd me. ·What shoold I call )'<XI? Lynn' Mrs. Jackson? Or ~uld I just ca)[ )'OU Mom?• After WC both COJOyed a good laugh, I knew lhe n::st of my days on campus "'ere going to be just line.

The NIC Sen1nl

A Commuter's Compr.omise Our nation is criss-crossed by myriad miles of highways. some of which are eight lane efficient wonders, while others arc sir.light and boring. But highway 9S that bisCCIS the ldnho Panhandle is neither. From Plummer 10 Pon Hill, it is B winding two lane rood-dangerous and slow traveling at best. Yet, it is driven daily by people like me going to and from work or school. I suppose for some, commuting can be pleasant wid relnxing, but for me it's a continuing sago of J>CfJ)lcxity, humor, excitement, and maddening frus1r.1tion.

One thing interesting about spending two hours a day on 95 is thot I c:,n spot right off, the difference bclwccn othcn,ommutcrs ond the dilly-dollicrs. Commuters nre the ones who reach nn op1imum sixty miles on hour ond moinlllln ii in order 10 keep 1r.1ffic nowing smoo1hly. The others, who arc most oflcn fnJS1rnling, nro sometimes comical.

Mnny lime.~ I've swept past o dus1y cnimplcd comp:ic1 going twenty miles nn hour slower thnn the everyone else, only 10 rccogni1.o 1he llulc old lady who just moved up here from Pnsadcna.

AIM>. I hnve lO chuckle 01 some or Ille cl11,•cr vnni ty plmcs I've SCA:n. One guy wcnl mclng by me like I wns slllnding still: his pln1c rend "VAROOM." nn np1ll'Opria1c mcssoge on o new Pb«:hc. L.11s1 week, I passed on OUIO \\1hosc plate read "MAMA." As I come nbroos1 or 1h1: driver, I reallied th,,i "MAMA· hod ei1hcr looncd her car out or it hod been stolen beam.so behind the ' wheel wn.~ n big, bcortlcd man I Du1 1110 drnmn onen 0111wcighs 1he humor in most comm111ing si1un1io11s. I've seen some close coils, nnd I've been in u few. The snfc.st ones llJ'C 1hosc whncssed from a holf o mllo owoy. A mol0ri51 nppl"OO('hing from lhc opposite direction. npp:1rcnlly overcome by impatience, will ouen1p1 10 p:iss on long s1rnigh1 stretches or whlc sweeping comers. If he's he.1dcd s1n1igh1 01 me. tho drnmn is tense Md the suspense gripping ns I wnit 10 soo ir ho's going 10 mnke it OO<"k intQ his own lnnc in Lime. farccdingly more O.\thing, how1wrr, was when I wa.s in a similnr situ:ition l\,o wcrks a.go. A pick-up snd r:impcr, followNI by half a dottn cnrs. h.111 Nt'n holding me a1 fony-fi,-c miles M hour for some tinw.

Because I wns nlrc~dy bit, my frustrn1ion level was mounting a.s 1 pulled out 10 p.1SS all of them. I could clcnrly sec lhe.re was no danger from oocommg traffic so I foll confioon1 as my liulc L)'IU LippcJ up 10 scvcn\y miles an hour. 1llrn, 5\lddcnly out of !'()"'here, as I appro3C.hed ml()-way in the Stnng, n v.h11c VW bcg111110 pull out m from of me. I h.'ld no horn and could not v..un him I With split s(C()Od liming 1 $\\'CJ"\'00, o,•cr sttc:rcd. knew lhe ditch was coming, lncw I'd roll, mnde a snap dcciSJon to correct. and go1 ofT the shoulder and blcl into the left bn.>--tmcl)•missing the VW. The la.st I saw of him was his front fender looming like a noon s,gn abow one inch from my ~gCJ's door :u I st.immcd pa.st him. I d1dn' 1 tu,-e 111110 to clll'\ll \ tm:,.,., now

that in n raw accident I.here probably isn't time lO be terrified. For me, Ille heart· nuu.ering fright came after I'd completed the pass and was back in the right lane, weakkneed nnd wobbly. I sincerely hope lhe ordeal left the VW driver trembling in his WCI b<itcllcs, Most incidcnlS though are unc31Jed for and inconsidcrotc. Particularly aggravating are the cigh1ccn wheelers who obviously nre not commuters. Since they cam their living on the highways. they net as if they own them. They show no mercy whalSQCvcr for olhcr motorists when they pull into in1crscc1ions slowing n whole line of cars.

They labor !heir way lhrough fiflCCll gcnss and finally. after nC3rly exhausting everyone's patience, they nch1evc a fabulous fifty.five miles nn hour. Then, when clcnr ,;ailing npprooches and cars can begin lO go around, they sccn to have been girted with one more gear. They 5pccd off down a hill doing sixty-fivc, lc.iving everyone behind griuing his 1cclh. l:quolly c~roting ore the school bus drivers who naunl ll1eir commMd and control of Ilic road. You'd think they could wnh one moro minute for n line of cars w pnss before pulling onto tho highwn)•or before Onshing their red llght.t Md cau\1ng two lanes of lnlff,c 10 come to a complete stop. I sometimes wonder 1f lhc dnvcrs don't hnvo n pool n1work where they ldcl in o buck each moming 10 sec which one can .stop Ille most cars in o dny. l also qUC$tion 1he ro1lonnlc of people who cross 1he two-mile long bridgo south or Snndpoint. They seem com1iellcd 10 slow down 10 fony-fivc miles nn hour as iflhcre was some invisible speed sign. Arc they ofro1d they'll bounce over the four foot rctoining wall nnd foll inio the fnxwng ID.le?

Or how about the motorist .,. ho busts his behind to come lll'Ound, nnd once m fron1, drives inc<wiSlCnlly-;>ouing along at fifty 10 si ~ty and all speeds in between? Nor can I undcrstllnd why a shopper or sighlSCte ,nit pull into tho ftlU lane at Hayden Lake, then m~)' along n.s if they were the only car on the road. blocking 1101 one bne. bu1 two!

MUSCLES time and self-discipline go into the spon.

I work out three days on. one day off.

Most people eat what they feel like eating, but bodybuilders cat specific nutrients at specific times 10 fuel their bodies. I cat my carbohydrates about half and hour to an hour before I work ou1 to make sure my body is ready.

"The thing I like most about bodybuilding is that it's such an individual spon. I can work on specific areas of my body so that I get the overall look that I'm going for. Like I said, I love the tota l lirestylc that I'm living right now. I wouldn't want it any other way," Hagen said.

The competition was run 10 watch, and most of the competitors had very entertain in g and well -polished ro utin es. The highlight of the evening, however, was

guest posers Rex Lauau and Diana Dennis.

Lattau is a weight trainer at Sta-Fit Athletic Club in Coeur d'Alene, and Dennis is a professional bodybuilder from Newport Beach, Calif. Dennis performed several routines Ll1Joughout the evening, and each one was unique.

Hagen said this was the best bodybuilding competition she's seen. " I've been to many competitions, but the guest posers in this one arc the best I'vc seen," Hagen said. "Diana is awesome. not just as a bodybuilder, but as a person.

She really cares about the spon and it's obvious that she wants to help others 10 become the best they can be. I went 10 a seminar she gave and was impressed with how much knowle<lge she has. She's really

open; I learned a lot rromhtr. She inspire<! me so much- now I know what I want 10 be in three to five years. " Dennis' first routine used s~cral props.

She came out in her bikini and a black jacket with tails, a black top on her head.

She went through a provocative striptease routine, then did several balancing stunts on a bar stool. Because she is also a dancer, Dennis' performances went for beyond the usual posing and flexing. She is one or the most muscular women I've ever seen, yet she is still very feminine and graceful.

When Lauau walke<I onto the stnge for his performance and all the lights went out, silence fille<I the room. A single spotlight hit him as he began to move, going through a number of poses. Then fog began to rise from underneath him and poured over the e<lge of the stage when Dennis came ou1 10 join him. Their routine together began with simple poses. then turned into more of a dance/gymnastic exhibition.

At 1his point, the fog wasn't the only steamy thing on the stage. Lauau and Dennis were pressed together, their bodies wTilhing and contorting. Dennis put her leg over Lauau's and performed a couple pelvic thrusu , prompting me to ask my friend if the program was rated. He ossured me tha1 the censors probably wouldn't have a problem with h; they couldn't real ly be hnv10g se, iin,e they were ~till we:ir iog b1k1nh. Thus .:on~olcd.

shannon hayward

When it seemed thnt nil hope of spring ever nrri ving here in North Idaho was lost, it was found again.

The ky has actunlly been blue and cloudless for several con~ccutivc days, the mercury has s.lowl)' started 10 climb and flowers bulbs are popping up nil over. Spring is definitely in the air. And it was a long time in coming. ;\ ~ 1he w~:nher hns wam1cd. all sizes and shn("lC) (and colors) of legs are sho" ing up as people take lo the str~cts-walking. hicycling and running.

Their reasons vary: some are c..,dccd about the prO!\)X"CI of being nble to wall.. on pavement again (rather thnn kc), while others are ju~t happ) to get out of the house as a rcmcd)• for severe cases of spring fevl'r.

I'll admit-I'm a Jillie nenous.

Running around Coeur d'Alene alone is bound to be quite different than running around the streets or Spokane amidst a crowd of over 50,000 people. Given the fact thnl I am basically a rathrr shy, introverted loner ... well, let's just say I'm a little ncn•ous.

I mean, in Coeur d'Alene I've got my pick of prime running routes. I can run on the dike road or I can run on Tubbs Hill. If I so desire, I can run downtown or l can run uptown. And I can run around without bumping into people.

When the topic of running was brought up in my conversations with others and I happened 10 mention I was ··into'' running, ultimately the fim quC)tion asked wns "Are you running in Bloomsday?"

\\ eU ... I • uh ... hadn't ... uh .•. given it much thought. " Reali>'.! Oh you just gotta run in Bloomsday!

It's so much fun!"

fun·/ Arc these people for real? But rhen I ~1nr1ed thinl..mg about it. I began to m: how ir could be sort of exciung, coming acrO\t 1he finish line and all-being part of " somclhing big."

So I took the big step and sem in my registration form. It's done. There's no backing out now.

It defirutely will be a new experience for me.

I' m not C.ltaetly a crowd lover. but I don't categorize myself as daustrophobic, either.

Sometimes when I'm running and my lungs are burning and I'm gasping for air, I ask myself what I' m do10g tbb for . My answer was that I do it for SC\eral reasons.

I do it for the health bcnefiLS and the sense of \ibrancy I feel afterward. I do it because there are minimal equipment requirements for ruoni.ng-just a good pa.ir of shoes and some old T-shirt!> and shom (unJcs.s you want 10 get fan C)' ). I do it because there are no monthly health club dues to pay.

Main!> I do it because I am dependant upon one person and one person only for my health-me.

And as m) husband told me a few clays ago, "You'n~ finally found out something to do ~ith lhose big feet!"

Sum_mer sailing class offered

by Brian Walker Imagine standing on a beach viewing a sailboat graciously glide over Lake Coeur d'Alene. The 1hough1 of catching some waves on the boat enters the mind, but a few problems exist.

One problem a person may have is a lack of sailing safety knowledge. Points of 5311ing may also have 10 be obtained before one can feel secure about experiencing a venture.

These problems can be cleared by enroll· ing In 1he Introduction to Lake Sailing class at NIC. The class is one of many offered through the Adult and Continuing Education program during th e summer.

According to Dean Bennett, the class organizer, the class teaches a variety of topics on sailing.

Bcnncll said safety on the water will be one primary focus of the class.

"Some sailors on the lake buy a boat and they learn on their own," he soid. "They often the11 make misiaJccs, which causes an accident."

A sailboat's composition will be another main feature, Dennett said.

"1 here's a lot of physics is sailing pawcr," he ~aid.

Bcnnc11 said other topics Include rigging and sails. stability, huU speed, sniling heavy wcothcr, navigation, soil uim and equipment.

" If we can teach this btforc they get out on the water, I think we've fulfilled our duties as educators,'' Bennett said.

In its first year, the current sailing class includes 12 students.

"We try to limit 10 12 so we can get them in the water and on the lake," Bennett said.

He said the students have rt5pandcd to the class well and "arc real enthused about

Bennett said the idea of the class originated four years ago when the windsurfer rage caught on. People lhcn staned asking about sailing when NIC"s at the Beach opened.

"We had so many inquiries about Hobie Cats and sailing Lhat it just naturally developed into this," Bcnneu said. "It's a natural. It's a push to ge1 the college onto the lake. '' He said the class is currently using rented boats, but three boats ha\·c been donated.

Bcnncll said he is currently restoring the donated boou from Greg Matelich for ru1ure use.

Hobie Cats and sailboards arc available for st udents 10 rent when NIC's at the Beach opens, Bennett soid. " It's all there," Bennett said. "It's non pallutlng and not hurling the city. so I feel we need 10 take advantage or It ."

LAWSUIT /romp. I "It is simply a fiscal decision; they (the administration) didn't want 10 jump off the deep end until ihey could see what exactly they were jumping into," Turley said.

NIC President Robert Bennett said that he just needs a little time before continu· ing the Meet and Confer sessions. " I just need some time 10 think through the implications of what this all means, and I need 10 find out how all this will impact our budget," Bennett said.

The fee was originally questioned last spring when Bcnncu suggested 10 the NIC Board of Trustees to increase the fee toS21 per semester in order 10 help pay for the new library and parking facilities.

However, the students objcc1ed.

According to the s1udcnts' interpretation of the code, colleges cannot charge fees for capitol improvements, and student fees should be spent the year they are collected.

The trwtees' response to the students' objections wu to sue them.

According to Hansen, the students did not originally consider themselves 10 be LJ1e proper defendants, however. When the court decla red 1h01 they were, ASNIC took immediate steps toward negotiation.

"Within one week of being declared the proper defendants, we initiated negotia tions with 1hc bonrd of 1ruslCC$, but we did not ncc:ompllsh anything." Hansen said.

Accordir!g 10 Hansen, the neg<>tintions

were taken lightly by the trustees from the beginrung.

"We asked to meet with the entire board, but we ended up with only 1wo(Bc11y) McLain and (Bob) Ely," Hansen said.

When negotiations were entered into by both pan.ics. the students' only request was that both groups work together 10 redefine the fee structure so both panics would be satisfied, Hansen said.

According to Bcnncll, the board also wanted to work toward rewording of the code for future fee collcction, but they also wanted to pay for both the trustee and the student legal recs out of the S300,000.

"ASNIC rejected the trustees· offer because we did not feel that auomey fees could be paid ou t of that fund any more than we could pave a parking lot," Hansen said.

According 10 Hansen, legal counsel from bolh s.ides agreed that if the truslccs and th e students had been able 10 work out their differences and redefine the code, it could !have been submitted to the court for a summary judgment. ASNIC wanted the money 10 stny on campus. however. That option Is no longer available, Hansen said.

"Bcnncll knew the risk he was taking wilh the quar1cr of II million dollars, but he fell h wu worth it." Hansen said.

L.as1 August Dennen said, ''I believe 1hi1 will bc:sl be decided by the courts."

The court hns decided, and the 1runecs 1011.
