Brennan withdraws from race after a change in priorities

by Linette f rNm1n Allhoogh it was a .-cry bird decision for him to ma.kc. Nonh Idaho Colkgc sophomore Robb Brennan chose to drop out of the Coeur d'Alene mayoral race. " The main rca.son I had to drop out was due 10 my personal Lime factor. I am holding down two part-Lime jobs and trying to nwo~in my 'A' avenge.

I just couldn't run the campaign I wanted 10," Brennan said.

A second reawn Brennan decided not to run for mayor wu because it 11tould no1 fit into his career plans if tlect.ed. ''I had 10 asses what wu more 1mpanant-long term goals or community service.'' he said. " I decided I wanted to eontlnue worlang 1011,ard an education."

Even though Brennan dropped out of the race he behevcs he accomph1hed many of the things he set out to do.

"One or the main things I wanted to occompli,h was 10 take a uand for my age group and show the community that we arc concerned v.uh what happens 10 our city. I behcvc I dtd that." Drennan <aid "As for what I ac,omplishcd for myself, v.cll, I learned a lot and I ha"c a new re<ipcct for the Job." One thing Drennan found to be \Cf} surpmrng durmg h11 ~hort time on the

campaign uail ".u Lhc amount or suppan he rccmcd. Not only did be hive support from bis friends but from insUUCt.Ors and mc:mbcn or the communilY a.s v.cU. In Lhe fuLurc, Brennan koows be will continue to be active io Politics because

right 10 light for smoking in the SUB because it is paid for by student recs nnd therefore the s1uden1 body is entitled 10 n say in 1he management or the building.

This polic)' was carefull)' thought through by the Boord of Trustees, ad, ministrl\lion, fBcul1y hcnds nnd students who voiced their opinions. Ocnncn said. " We should discourage smo~ing as much as passiblc, knowing whnc smoking docs 10 people- but we also r~ogniud that some people cnn'c change overnight; they ne«! o. place to have o smoke, and h was though! this wns the fairest way to do it," BcnncH said.

" Besides, I'm not a very good drummer anyway."

- Robb Brennan he v.ants to hl\c a say In what happens to the community and Lhc cn\•ironmcnt.

"I really believe that 1( you arc not a pan or the solution then you arc a part of the problem and I want 10 be II pan of the solution. " he said.

Brennan said he is not ye1 endorsing any of chc candidBtcs who arc running ror mayor Before he decides he would like to sec a publk debate so he knows whrrc che candidates stand on Lhe issues.

According to Drennnn, the be.i thing ror him 10 do was bow out of the race. "&~Ide,, I'm not a very good dru mmer onyway," he , nid.

Fundraiser to help student parents with child care cost scholarships

by Karin Lau Rai,ing Sl,SOO 10 fund 1h1« child core cost ,chol11rship, ne\l <cme,ter is the goal or a rundrai,cr hcifli hrld b) the North Idaho College Child De, ,topment Ccncer, occordmg to Bethann Fuller, )upervi.sor of the center.

The Sp11ghc11i Dinner/ Silent Auccion fundnsi.-er wtU be held Friday. Nov. 17, in the Bonner Room and will feacurc a din ner or spaglteui, salad, and French bread, a slide show and a silent auction.

" .. .statistics prove that there is a definite need for scholarships. " - Bethanne Fuller By holding the rundraiser, the center hopes to create an awareness of the financial needs or those students with children who require child care. Fuller said the center has "statistics 10 prove that there i.s a definite need for scholarships."

In the future, Fuller would like to see an endowment set up so there would be

scholurbhlps available every semester.

"It would be n,k c not 10 worry about riming money for scholarships," Fuller said. " We have so many parents who could really, really use one."

The auction will consist or affordable icems that have betn donated by NIC students and s1nrr. Items 10 be auctioned will be spread our on tables wich each table having a different closing time in order for them to be auctioned off a separate times.

So far, several things have been donated, including a pine needle basket and a professional windshield repair.

The center is stiU hoping to receive more donations, Fuller said. She added that some good ideas for donations could be gifts for Christmas (such as handmade items from a person's talcnc or skill) 1ha1 arc affordable.

•'The audience we arc after is not the same as the kind that goes to the awesome auctions where people arc donacing cars.

The people who will be coming to ours don't have the mon"Cy for things like that.'' she said.

The event will cosc SS per person or SI O per family and wiU run from 6 until about 9 p.m. Tickets will !be available in advance ac the center, and child care will be provided during the auction. For infonnation on donations, contact the center at 769-3491 . L

Students ca n be found driving back and forth searching for a parking space every day on the North Idaho College campus. According 10 several faculty members, Ibey race the same problem in the evening and on che weekend. The parking issue was one of che topics addressed during Lhe Oct. 21 , College Senalt meeting.

The main problem, according 10 Bob Murray, an NIC biology instruccor, is that faculty members arc encouraged 10 reach classes at "odd and unusual hours" but there arc no parking spaces available at these times because the parking regulations arc not enforced after hours or on weekends.

Some concern was also expressed regarding the lack of parking for facult)' members who have night classes on the nights when there arc sparling events.

The senate d~ided 10 draft a tcuer rcgardiog the parking is.sue 10 Dean of

-------

Administration Rolland Jurgens. The letter would include specific questions on che enforccmenc of chc iraffic signs posted on campus.

In che case of che faculty porking lot behind the Administracion Building, the sign stales parking regulations arc enforced 24 hours a day and violator's cars will be towed at the owner's expense.

However, during the 1988-89 school year, no cars actually suffered this punishment, said Don Philips, chief campus security officer.

One member of the senate asked, "Should we take down the signs? It's a joke 10 leave them up."

The proposed letter is hoped to aid in cu rbing the parking problems.

Students who would like more information or who have some input can contact one of the three student representativcs who arc a part of the senate.

They are Linette Freeman, representing academic students; Micheal Blessinger, representing vocational scudcnts, and Don Atha in the open scat.

Very liulc history has been written about Kootenai County, and the originnl homesteaders arc gone. Bui their sons and daughters, now in their 80's and 90's, still live and wish to share their stories. Preserving rich memories is the Living History Project's major goal.

This timely and priceless venture is spansored by 1hc Kootenai Cou nty Centennial Commiucc, Lewis Clark Stole College, Nonh Idaho College, the Univcristy of Idaho, the Ci1i1cn's Council for the Am, the Spokane Inland Nonhwcst Foundation nnd mnny other supporters.

StudcnlS working on specific projects arc: Phoebe Hruska, the Civilian Conservation Core; Kay Kline, Women in Public Lire. and Jennie Goodson, who is doing a project on how the local area was affected

by World War I. Syh c said 1hat people have had fascinating e1periences and arc eager to share them with later generations. Those who lived during the early days arc gelling older, and when 1hey arc gone, their stories mny not have been told.

Sentinel's role defined Newman offers apology.. .

Sentinel (sen

n '// a person or animal set ro iuard a group; specif., a sentry. fl

The preceeding 1s a delinuion or a "sentinel" as defined by Welxter's dictionary In light of the r~nt events involving the As~iared Students or 'lonh Idaho Coll~e Prcsidem Joe Newman and the unethical remarh he made about the ASNJC Vice Pre~1dent, Ehane WilchC\·Pena, many queitiom have been ra,sed a, to the role of the Semincl on this campus.

The role of 1he Sentinel, a\ described by the MC Sentinel Policy Book, I\ 10 provide IIS reader\ of all new\ of college con cern fae1ually , fairly, fully, con c1sely and a\ promp1ly a~ po ,ible ... The Sentinel Judgb new\ by its ~igniflcance and intere~t to 1hc large,1 number ot reader,.

The Pohc.y Bool.. aim goe, nn 10 ~ay, "Because of'" college ,e111ng, the Sentinel i) 10 n po~i11on 10 promote equoht) or the e,es and an nn1i-racl\t a1111ude."

In the ca,c of Newman, the Mgnificancc and 1111rr~1 CJ111 · pus "-ide. 1 he Scnunel wa, not and i~ not on n ~r,onnl ,mear campaign a, far ll\ Newmon i, concerned. NC\\ nrnn merely ,ho\\ cd poor JUdt•mc:111 "hen he gave his ~n,onal op1molb to o Sentinel rt'porter during a taped mien tC\\. Because of the posi1ion Newman holds on this campus, any comments he makes are going 10 come under scru1iny.

Members of the staff will not undenake personal crusades usmg the Sentinel as their vehicle of attack, bur they do have a responsible and professional right 10 comment on newsworthy items.

Accurate, truthful, objective and fair reporting derived from complete inve)tigation and inter-

prethe research IS essential to a superior Senunel, and decency of intent is a prerequisite.

Another question that urfaced over the Oct. 12 Sentinel ednonal \\as the fact that many students thought the eduorial \\3S an unsigned leuer 10 the editor.

It \\asn't.

An editorial is the e~pmsed opinion of the editor, whose name can be found at the bouom of this (the opinion) page The Sentinel "ill not print an unsigned le11er 10 the editor To help

"a,

""flt.1:o"-)

eliminate any future confusion as far as editorials arc concerned, the Sent inel will run them under the heading "Editorial."

To promote fairness, the Sentinel will refrain in the final issue of the year from publishing any editorials, columns or letters to the editor that make new, severe charges against persons or groups. This policy is necessary to insure that persons or groups under criticism will have an opport unity to charges leveled against them.

Dear Sentinel Editor: In a recent edition of the Sentinel I have read omc aruclc and an editorial about me in regard to some remarks 1ha1 I made during an inten ie" "ith a Senunel reporter concerning 1he botched ASNIC fre hman clec1ions. h i 1r11e Lhat. in a moment of heated anger and frumation, I did mal..e some derogmon remarks about my ,i~ president. l ha,e apologized in private and in public to Eliane and the student bod> for my remark~. They \\ere unprofcM1onat and ,r re)ponsible, and I'm sm<.'erel} orry for "hot I've nid.

In regard 10 the editorial I would just lil..e 10 ay 1hn1 everyone i cn1i1l«t 1li their o" n personal opinion, and 1hey also ha, e 1he right to have 1heir opiOll)O in print Ho"e,er I do bclie,e 1ha1 you should ha,c all the fac1, bcf<lre mak1111• an opinion II ,, as s1.11ed in 1he paper I \\ll\ irre pon~1ble be.:,IU~c I hod dec1d~d 10 go huming instead of going 10 1he Idaho 1udcn1 l ohby meeting 1hm "·'' hcld hereon campu., Cx1. 21. 1989.

So ,1 hen I 011emlc1I the !Sl meeting in Boi~e on Sept. 16 and 1hcy asked if lhe}' could hold 1hc11 nc"<I mce11ng a1 NIC, I 1old them that \\C \\Onld be glnd 10 hO\t 1heir 1nce1111i: here. bul 1h01 I \\Ould no1 be able 10 aucnd due 10 o pre, ious engagement I mode a formol apclogy 10 1hc members of !Sl 01 1h01 lime. ond 11 ,, n, accc1,1cd by 1he membership a1 thn1 rime. This hu111ing trip wn, 1101 n spur of 1hc 111ll mem decision 10 drop my rc~pomibili1ic\ and go hun1ing.

As far as o lock of respon\ibility is concerned lc1 mr mol..c a fc\\ more \ta1cmcn1s. During the 1988-89 \chool year I auendcd opproximn1cly 95 1,cr ccn1 of nil 1hc ASNIC meetings, ~n, in on ASNI C con1111i11ees nncl went 10 coun for ASNIC on my own time 111though I wo\ 1101 on elected member of 1hc ASNI( board I ,,a\ merely o concerned Mudcnt that wamed 10 help. When ASNI( cl~11om ,amc up thi\ spring I wns encouraged by members of to,1 year's board to run for ASNIC President. I rnn unoppo\ed becau\C no one d\c wonted Ilic Job or the rt<,po11~ibili1y that goes along wi1h it. I'm probnbly 1hc In~, one qualifictl 10 do 1h1s Job. but no one else wa111ed it. So I took ii upon my!ielf 10 1ry nnd \Crvc 1hc \ludent\ of North Idaho College 10 1hc best of my abili1y. I'm only hum.in and I make mistakes. I also gel mad and fru\lrated when I see 1l11ngs 1ha1 could have been done but wcrcn'I, and I may make s1ntcmcn1s thnt nrny hurt people) feelings .

In closing, I would ltke 10 commend the Sentinel in 1he professional manner in which they handled 1his s1ory. rhc pre,s has a job 10 do and 1ha1 is 10 report the news, and because of 1he JOb they have done there has been an awnkcrnng of the students here on campus in regards 10 student governmen1, which is great in my opinion. 1'm just sorry II had 10 come abou1 in this manner. I would also like 10 clarify 1ha1 I'm 1101 a sexm. rncis1 or a member of the Aryan Nmiom. and I apologiz.e again for the remarks abo111 my vice president.

Farmer should take hint from Hagadone monica kiddie Telling someone what you do for a living used to be easy. A simple, "I'm a secretary" or "I work at Arby's" was sufficient.

Not any more. Now when someone asks where you work or what you do, your answer had better be impressive.

Never mind that you are a struggling college studc111 and your fa.st rood job is only temporary.

It doesn't matter that you're going to be a journalist or a lawyer someday./\ job doesn't just pay the bills anymore- it provides others with a basis for placing you in the correct social category.

Grn111ed, one's profession alway~ has been a large determinant in hct1,ing one 10 find the pro· per rung 011 the sociol laddcr, but it is only recently thm l'vc noticed this snobbery among high school and college students.

My friend Andy Schumann works 01 n pig form in Post Falls, and the reac1ion he gets when answering that "What-do-you-do-for-a-living?"

question can provide hours of cntenainment at parties.

First he assures 1he asker 1ha1 he's serious. Then come the Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig jokes, followed by the inevitable, ··Well, wha1 do you do out there on the farm?"

Since most urbaners have no idea what goes in10 raising pigs or cultivating fields or all of the other things he docs, he just lets their imaginations run wild. which usually prompts more jokes.

One asker even burst into a rendition of "The Farmer in the Dell."

Schumann obviously does not know the new job title etiquette. Answering that important qucs1ion is a delicate mauer, and has1ily spouting off something like "I'm a pig farmer" is definitely a mistake. He and all others who are caught in this dilemma should plan their answer carefully, keeping these tips in mind.

A job 111le must have a1 leas1 two words. 1 wo words is the minimum required to be taken seriously, and only those 1itle<i containing 1hrec or more words may qualify as impressive.

Restaurant work llrovidc\ an excelle111 example. A person who takes your order and brings your food used 10 be called a \\ai1ress or waiter and the per~on who clear\ your table called a bus,er. Uut nollc( thut tho)e 1i1 le~ are only one word, two \)•llahk, Duane I lagndone mu,1 be up on bein1t imr,re,~1\e, lor hrs Uevcrly's waiter\ arc

given the two-word, three-syllable title of "food server, " and his bussers are impressively called "assistant food servers," netting three words and JiiX syllables. (The use of the term "assistant" is discussed in more detail in later tips.)

As 1rivial as 1his whole word/syllable 1hing may seem, it is essential for those wanting to be impressive, for even already somewhat impressive professionals use multi-worded titles.

For example: "I'm a doctor" is simply not acceptable. It's at least ''I'm a medical doctor" (two words. five syllables), or even better, "I'm a doctor of medicine" (three words, Si.': syllables). Even better yet is an answer that contain~ four words and nine syllables-"! 'ma healthcare and medical specialist." My favorite lengthened job description is the alternate title for hl\\}'Cr or ,'lllorney: Doctor or Jurisprudence (thret words, even syllnl>ks).

Never, never give an Olh\\Cr that prccisly describe, your work. lmpt~\1\t anw;er~ need only give the n,kcr n v,,gue rdea 01 the indu,try in \\hich you work . b~olutcl) IIC\Cr tell your position; be 11, general ,1, )OU can. h.>r c,nmple, the people who pick up your garbage every week u,eJ to be culled garbage men, but that tell, 100 much The imprt')sive altcrna11ve?

World peace postponed by politics wait ross People representing Chinn, North America, Europe and the Soviet Union were so elated two weeks ngo that 1hcy nearly bruised each others' backs in congratulations.

They had reason 10 celebrate: Through coo1X-roti"e negotiations, they had agreed co turn over-for destruction-the world's nuclear weapons.

It was hard to believe that anything at aUmuch less, something beneficial 10 evef)lonewould arise from the negotiations, whiclil were every bit as chaotic as the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

What's more. every nation on eanh had reached it~ goals in food and energy production and raised the standard of li"ing through increased literacy and improved med,cal care.

It was the end of Round 3, and the news of a complete disarmament was greeted worldwide with whoops and hollers.

The nc"s was inaccurate, however, and the truth. was not so palatable:

"The international arm~ dealer and the muhi· national energy con~ortium have declared thcmsel\les nu1onomous, naming Wall Street as its capital," a reporter said. "They would like 10 announce that they ha"e 90 percent or the nuclear w·eapons. They arc now asking for compensation, or they (the weapons) will be used ....Just reporting the news."

The weapons had been naively sold 10 the international arms dealer. He had agr?Cd 10 destroy the weapons but, due to an outbreak of peace, had formulated other plans. ''h was a ploy," the arms dealer said. "We told them we were gonna destroy 'em (the weapons), but we lied.

"You Stt, we were going to run out of business.

Now we'll make 'cm yield 10 us," he said wiLh a self-satisfied used-car-salesman smirk.

The entire global community reacted with outrage; things had been going pretty nic:dy, and now they had been duped.

All of this took place at the World Game Workshop and, fonunately, couldn't happen in the real world, where it's inconceivable that reckless, greedy multi-national corporations and international arms dealers would do an}"lhing to harm humanity or our fragile planet just for the sake of money.

The de\clopment cenainly added an interesting twist 10 the World Game.

The game, concched by the late Bud,mioster

ruller a~ a creative alternauve 10 war games, is based on the maxim "There i~ no problem that cannot be quantified and identified and, thus, solved" and LS played u~ing most of the same in· formauon world leaders use 10 play war games. faen with 1he "nuke glitch," the world game (played at Mead High School) was a fascinating demonstration of people5' mhc:rent altruism; after surveying 2S,OOO players as to the type of world they desired, the list is still only a page long.

Everybody wants the same things for the future: an end to hunger, illiteracy, sub-standard medical care, unemploymenl, ecologjcaJ destruction and

so on.

It also demonstrated one of those curious skJIJs that makes us so unique as humans: problem solving.

Unfortunately, it also demonstrated that the world, even when put into a game rormat, is a bit more complica1ed than advertised.

The game ended after onJy three rounds, and 9,e'U never know how the mini.global c.ommuni1y would deal with its "nuke gU!ch." Mankind bas been a pro,en winner in the real game, so the pla)ers, presumably, would have found a solution.

The orgaruzcrs of the World Game went to great lengths to drive home the message that i1's not for a lack of technology thac real global pro-

Quake causes damage in ldahoaswe/1

by Karin Lau While driving home with wonton soup and sweet and sour chicken on my lap, 1 decided to tum on the radio. I was in a good mood and felt like beboµping for a little bit, but I ended up getting more than I had bargained for. The news announcement being broadcast made my body tremble.

"The World Series has been interrupted by a major e.arthquake. This is real. This is not a hoax," the newscaster said.

Al lirst I thought that maybe it was a similar joke being played on lhe nation like Orson we1jes• " War of the Worlds." Ii was not. It was a real earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale that violently shook the San Francisco Bay Arca.

As my body terucd, my foot grew heavy on the gas pedal. I had to get home as fast I could. ~ a native San Franciscan, t had my reasons. My family and friends arc still living there, and I was cerribl)' afraid thnl something mlghl have happened to them. I also had to lind out if maybe l was worrying just a bit too much and blowing the earthquake out of proportJon. When I got home, I found out that all of my fears were very justified and tears began to run down my face. The television set in front of me showed horror pictures of what was now my hometown; a portion of the top deck of the llay Bridge hed collapsed onio the lower deck that was full of commuters; an apartment building was nblru.e in the Marina District of San Francisco, right where o friend that I have known since first grade had just mo~cd two months earlier, and the Nimitz f reeway in Oakland (Interstate SSO) had been

made into a one-deck freeway instead of a two-decker.

All of this and more was beyond tbe reach of the TV cameras in a mailer o f t 5 seconds. I was literally sick to my stomach and had to forget about my cravings for Chinese food.

I could only watch ror 0 few minutes before I had to start my frantic attempts to reach b>' telephone anyone that J knew down there. It was the hardest and longest wait of my life. My imagination was running wild with morbid images of my loved ones being buried under rubble or burning in the flames. I dialed the phone and waited ...and waited. The only person I could get through to was a recording of the operator saying, "Due to the eart.hquake in tbe area you are trying to reach, your call cannot be completed at this ti.me. Please try again later."

I took her advice, but not very well-I wou.ld push my re-dial button immediately after I hung up on her recording.

Finally, al t I :30 p.m. that oight, I got a hold of my sister, Katie. Part of my wait was finally over. She was

Gift registers on Richter scale every time the earth moves

by Darrel Beehner The North ldnho College geology department will be able to monitor nny seismic activity that takes place in the Inland Northwest, thanks to a gift from the Hecla Mining Company.

The gift is $40,000 worlh of seismic array equipment that hnd grown out· da1ed at the Lurky Friday Mine where it was used to monitor seismic activity within the mine.

The equipment includes a computer, two terminals, three printers, 11 plotter, supplies, instruction manuals and microseismic monitoring software.

According 10 Bill Richards, NIC geology instructor. the seismic array is op,:rnlional where it now ~its in lhe geology lab of Seitc-r HaU, out he would like to eventually have the equipmem moved to a remote location '(po...ssibly Farragut State Park) and have it radio information back to the co!1egc.

Although NlC currently has two seismometers, Richards said he would like to nquire a third so he could set them at three seperate stations. By doing so, I.hey would be able to triangulalc

or pinpoint the exact location of any seismic activity. " I would Like to have, ideally, nine seismic re-."Orders-threc at each stalion." Richards said, ''but I'd be happy with three (r~rders)."

While the geology students are still not very familiar with the equipment, Richards said the equipment is operational and maintennnce procedures would be incorporated into Lhc dass, thus giving them some practical experience. ..The whole purpose is LO give the students an opportunity 10 operate a real scientific data collection system," Richards said. ''The students would get involved by participating in that data collection nnd secin g that th.is som.~thing that is rea/-<..-oUcc:ting real data, putting it to real use and is really related to tbc real world."

Richards said the.re are more than a dozen faults in this immediate area, but they are relatively bC'n.ign. Although there is constant seismic act.ivicy occuring all the time, it is of such a small magoitude (2.0-3.0 on the R.icll1er scale) that it i.s not felt by humans.

fine and really did not think much about the earthquake. After all, she had no idea about the devastation that was nil around her because her TV blew up and her radio was broadcasting static. Katie also told me that my dad and stepmother were fine and that they had speni those imfamous 15 seconds watching onefoot-high waves form in their swimming pool and dump two inches of water all over their patio.

Now I could breathe a little easier, but it was stil l hard because I was worried about my friend, Mish, in San Francisco. Two and a half da}·s of waiting in agony passed before l was able to reach her. She wasn't quite as lucky as my family had been. In those 15 seconds, she became one of San Francisco's homeless, but. fortunately, it will only be a temporary situation for her. Her apartment will be able to be repaired, and she will soon be able to go back home.

The earthquake did not offect only lhe people who live in the Bay Area, but also their fnmilies nnd friends who live elsewhere nnd were forced to wait in front of their televisions. Waiting allows the imagination to go craz-y, filling the mind with visions of the worst possible scenarios.

I may have been ia No rth Idaho during the earLhqua.ke and its aftermath. but my heart was ln San Francis.co.

My Initial fear has been replaced with empathy for lhose who were not a,1 lucky us my family. One thou~and miles cannot distance me rrom their pain. This and every other disaster tnkes its toll on the survivors os well 85 those who were nowhere near the nreo. No one ls immune 10 the power of destruction of natural di~asters, and no one ~hould ignore their force.

Cardinal graduate experiences earthquake near the epicenter

by David Carkhuff

ln the same year he graduotcd from North Idaho College, Perry Grant took a crash course in geological activityhe was about live miles from the California earthquake epicenter on Oct. 17.

A Coeur d ' Alene native, Grant estimated that the college he attended, Bethany Bible College, lay 10 miles northeast of Santa Cruz; that puts it five miles east of the area m~t r.evere)y damaged by the ear1hquak.e, the epicenter.

Nobody at Bethany was injured, and only one building sustained damage, according to Grant. NC\-'l:rtheles.s, he vividly rccalled every detail of that Tuesday afternoon. "l was in my room. and I had fallen a£lcep at 4:30," Grant said, "and I had told my friend to wake me ap at 5. AU of the sudden I beard the door jiggling at about HM. 1 thought it was someone lr)'ing to wake me up. A.bout four =nds later the whole room just rul!1ed to move. I ran out of the building; it was moving two to three feet back and forth. ·' He said a friend report.edly saw rolls in the pavement during the earthquake.

Another friend was at Candlestick Park

for the third game of the World Series. " He literally thought he was goirlg 10 die," Grant said.

At Bethany, giant redwoods actually swayed back and forth, he said. Unfortunately, not everything in western California was a5 sturdy as the redwoods. "lt Look us about three hours to ge1 out of Lown,'' Grant said. ''Some of the gas stations had broken lines."

With a gas tan.k only a quarter full.

Grant 53id at every gas station he faced a long line of cars. He said his car was 111JlI1.ing on empty when he found a gas station not overrun with customers.

"We nill had to wait 4S minutes. I finally pulled over and sLOpped the car.''

Driving south from the destruction, Grant realized the fall impact of Lhe canhq ualc e. ..There were houses tot:.ally leaned over, carports collapsed. We were.driving over crai:ks that were four inches high."

On Oct. 22, Grant rerumtd to Bethany as school commenced there after a safety inspection. He Vi'll!i relieved that no injuries occurred from the earthqua.k.e. ''The Lord really had His band oo oar campus," Grant said.

Marriage on their minds -Characters In "Once Upon A Mattress" begin the musical desiring wedlock

Fairy tale spoof boasts huge set, cast , by Monica Kiddle A lnrgc cns1 and an even larger set will

toke the singe this Friday night for lhc dmmn department's l'ir~t produc1io11 or the year, nccording 10 North ldaho College drama instructor Tim Rarick.

"Once Upon A /','la11rcss," n spoof of "The Princess and the Pea" fairy rnle, will take tht audience back to 1he Middle Ages with ils s1ory of u silent king and his loud· mouthed wife, an immature prince who want~ to gei married and n princess who came from 1he swamp to swim the moat.

Rorick said thot the 25-member ca£! is made up of NIC students and fncuhy members as \\CU as community members.

"The Cll.'it is n:ry typical for our shO\\$,'' Rorick said. "Shay-five percent arc students, 25 percent are community members nnd the other 10 percent arc faculty mem~rs and n gucs1 performer."

The guest performer is professional oclre5s Cheryl Rossi, who plays the lead role . and also chorrgraphed the show. ''Cheryl wasn't going to play •he lead since she I\ as alrcndy choreographing the show, but we feh thot this was the ~t way to take advantage of her skills, Rarick said."

Vocal instructor Michael Muzatko and flute instructor Lauro Dickinson play the

pnm of the jester and Lady Ro\\cna,

rcspccti\'ely. Mu1atl.o IS also the "ocal coach ror the musical.

Among the student actors are NlC stage ,·etemns Heather Kauffman. Lori McDeid, Do"id Scott, Ste\C Scoble and Kristen Brown. Brown hns performed in NIC plays since she "as in high school, according 10 Rark k, including 1hc lead role in the NIC production of "Our Town" in 1988.

Community mc.-mbcrs Barbara Ander· son, Jeanne Thrcllfall and Gail Belanger are part or the cost. and NIC alumnus Jim Comfort plays lhc part or Sir Studley.

Rnrick's cigh1-yC3r-old son Nathan and nine-year-old daughter Jessica Barlcl al5o han• pnrtS in the musical, and Rarick said c::,~~c::,~~~...a:,~c::,

"This is probably the biggest set we've used so far."

Michael Ward

c:>~<:c:r~~CO"""~~ ~ ~

that working with the you.n.gc.r kids is " great." ·'Great•· could also be used 10 describe the show's set, "hich possibly is the biggest set NIC hos ever used, according 10 auditorium technical director and set

dl"'ligncr Michael Ward. ''We've built \Orne lilll >.tu before," Ward said. "The )Cl for 'School for Wives' was tall, but I don't thmk it was u big as this one. I'd say that th11 1s probably the biggest set \\e've used so far, at least smce l'H' been at NIC." The castle is 48 by 25 feet and is complemented with 12-foot high pillars that stand on 12-foot square bases. Platforw of different heights create a bigger, mu1tiroomed, set, Ward sa.Jd. Although the set is enormous and detailed, its biggest auraction is Princess Winnifred·s bed, which stands almost as Ul.11 iU the castle and contains 20 matlI~. The rnatt=ses are diverse in bright colors and prints, and the bed is completed with royal lhro11 pillo~ and a 14-foot ladder I.hat Princess Winnifred must ascend aod descend throughout the p.lay. Rollers allow the bed 10 be mo~ed on and off the stage for changes.

Ward designed the bed, and drama student Nona Fausett upholstered n.

Although the mam= are not "real,'' they look andfttl like a Sealy Posrurpedic.

Fausett requested th1t the materials and methods used in ID.3king the bed not be re\-eaJcd. "Theater is illusion. U you take away that illusion, you ruin the effect,'' Fausett

=e

md "The mottreb< look real. so to the audience they are real If everyone knew how we made them and wha1 we u~d. it would destroy the fantuy.''

Fauseu llald that it took at least 30 houn just 10 build and uphobtcr the bed, not including the ume put uito painting and fin1~hing it. Svc people 11,orkcd several hours a day on it, iruidc and out of class. c:;~~c:;~~.:::-,~~~

" Theater is illusion. If you take away that illusion, you ruin the effect. " Nona Fausset! ~~(.O'"~~C,!7°c::)~~~

Auditorium technical assistant Justin Van Eaton worked on the bed, along with students Dan Ryan and Fred Chilson, Faaseu said.

"We followed Mkhael's plans for the most pan," Fauscn said, ''but 50me of the details just evolved."

"Once Upoo a Matu-css" operu m the Communication-Arts Auditorium on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. and will run two 11·oekcnds, in· eluding a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on Nov. S. Admission is SS for adults and SJ for srudenu and smiors.

!, 1989

by David Carkhuff

/0:JO p.m. On a chilly, Oc1ober evening I approached Sci1er Hall with a camera, a tape recorder and a sleepmg bag. My mission: to officially prove ordisprove 1hc cxis1encc of 1hr ghosl which is rumored 10 roam 1he science building halls.

JO:J5 p.m. Brian Walker. Sentinel sporu edi1or, accos1ed me in the parking 101 beside 1hc library. His anucs in my ghost hun1 included donning a bed shec1 for this sec1ion's phan1om pho10. He inquired as we en1cred the hall whe1hcr or 1101 I believed the alleged encounters 1hcrc wi1h a long-deceased Fore Sherman ofliccr. My answer was much different before...

The Night I Spent In Seiter Hall I I p.m. My accommodations in Seiler Hall includ cd only what I brought wilh me. I unrolled my slCCtJ· ing bag in fro111 of the office of Curtis Nelson and Barry Simon on the third noor. Next 10 me lay school work, which, true Lo habi1, I let lie.

The building was empty cxcepl for Bob Trueblood, a custodian working his shift until I a.m.

I had talked 10 him earlier about the ghO\l. He had told aboul a recent event bordering on the superna1urat.

A security officer was driving along the Dike Road on a regular pmrol rou1e. The officer had already locked Seiter Hall for 1he evening and was passmg behind 1he darkened building. Suddenly, a lighl na~hcd on upstairs in an office. lnve~tigalion found no one in the building.

I I: I 5 p.111. I check«! oil of 1hi: lob nod om,c door~.

They were all locl.ed. Lights were off txccp1 in 1hc corridor,, where dorl.nc~~ still pervaded. rhe ~ccond noor presen1ed an eerie selling with dim ligh11ng and an a~sortme111 of )Ounds from 1hc ceiling ducts. More 1han once I hcnrd reverberations on thal floor thnl resembled footsleps. Some choice e~amples I cap1urcd on rnpc.

"You cnn allribute a lot of 1hc sounds to the hcaung nnd nir conditioning," Trueblood )aid, "but how do you n11ribu1c doors opening nnd closing?"

I wondered this my)clf of1cr I heard a me1allic ra11hng noise from 1hc 1hird noor. A distan1 grating noise like a me1nl door being opened ended in a sharp cla11cr as ii closed. EvefY I 5 minutes these sounds occurred.

12:05 a.m. For II while, I supposed cu~todiol activity on the lov.er noor accounted for the frequent noise of doors opening and closing. However, no other human sound ever preceded or followed 1hcsc dis1urbances.

So with camera ready, I s1alked the second floor.

S1rangely, when I arrived there, 1he noi cs came from above. The \'Cnts were nol responsible-this I could determine.

FinaUy, upon returning to 1he third floor, I located 1hc source of chis mischief.

These bumps in 1hc night happened like clocl.work because they were caused by a time mechanism. An electric timekeeper held in a science displa)' case caused 1hc commotion. The contraption's revolving arm scooped up a s1ccl ball from II collec-tion bin and drop· ped it on a track. The ball rolled onto a lc~,·cr: 111 IS minutes, when five balls had collected there, the lc,er released them "ith a cla11cr 01110 a 1rn.:I. leading into the bin belo,1. /:JO u.m. The cu~todians v.erc gone All alone in Seiter Hall, I decided to e"<plore. The top noors appeared uninhabited, so I proccdcd 10 the main noor.

Vents continued 10 rumble in the building lil.e a ~ini,.1er ovcmurc.

I round the la c lecture room o n. Herc i~ v.hcre

11 a custodian reportedly had seen a ghostly face appear on the periodic chart. Undaunted, I walked into the dark classroom and followed the back aisle toward 1hc other red exit sign.

Halfway across, the ligh1s burst on!

Needless 1to say. my level of concern a1 that mome111 migh1 have been minimized had I been aware of 1he electric eye which governs the classroom lights. If anyone can tell me tha1 such an electronic apparatus does not exis1in the observation room. I would be in1crcs1ed 10 hear it. I am relying on unofficial opinion for now. The reason for my skepticism lies in the fact that I walked 1hrough that darkened classroom two more times and nothing happened.

2:30 a.m. After working on homework for a while.

I fell asleep in my sleeping bag.

5:05 a.m. I awoke 10 find it was morning. With an odd feeling in my back innic1ed by the noor, I ga1hercd my goods. Disgrun1lcd, I realizcd-con1rary 10 my initial impression-that a ghos1 eviden1ly does 1101 exist in Seiter Hall.

5:JO a.111. Seiler Hall seemed as cool and undramatic as any campus building when I left. The outside door closed and locked wi1h finality behind me.

Only now does an anomaly s1rikc me. I wonder how tha1 lab a11enda111 managed 10 enter Seiter Hall that night. I glimpsed him just before dozing off. Garbed in the customary whites, he wen1 in10 a lab room ... wail a minu1e. Did he open the door or go 1hrough it?

Advice about book-writing was provided by author Ivan Doig when he talked 10 English and journalism students in the science building at Nonh Idaho College Thursday, Oct. 12. After a short introduction, he entertained questions from the studen ts for an hour.

Doig began his address, " I'm from Montana. I' ve written one historical novel and several fictions. I started writing in high school as a reporter and later returned 10 writing to ger off the farm . Ir you have any questions, feel free to speak up."

Doig said he is one or cwo current writers from Montana. He said he writes fou r 10 five hours a day. " It's just like a job," Doig said. " I have a deadline 10 meet."

Doig puts out about four co lhe pages or 200 words eac h (lriplc-spaced) per day to meet those deadlines, he said.

A book cakes "two to three years," he said. His fust book, "This House of Sky," was sent out in batches until It hit the 13th editor, who accepted it.

When asked about hilling a dry spell, Doig said "There is no such thing as a dry speU. You get something down on paper and figure it can be improv· cd r,om there." His books arc the result of the third or fourth draft of proofreading, he said. Doig loots at verbs, rhythms, how paragraphs begin and end, whether the writing ma kes sense, adjecti~cs and PltUit -

-Cross country teams await at-large bidS

by Al Thompso n

An anxious NIC women's cross country team waits Lhis week to find out if it will land an at-large bid LO the National Junior College Championships Nov. 11 at Overland Park, Kan. The men's team also waits but nor anxiously.

"I have no doubt 1ha1 the men's 'tcam will get a bid," Coach Rob Conner said. "I am nor sure about the women, but I figure they will probably get one. Mter nU, they can't leave the fourth best team in the country at home."

At the Region 18 Chempio11· ship) Saturday, the race wo\ tight for the women ns national heavyweights Cemrnl Oregon nnd Ril!k~ College , tugged It out over the 3. I •rnilc COUl)C. Ccnirnl Oregon, the second· ranked tcnm in the country, edged out defending nutlonnl chnmpion and top ranked Rkll-s, 30-33.

NIC fini1hcd third with 67.

"TI1e women got out mong in the £ir11 mile, but th o~c two teams ore oy,.c~ome. We're a very good team but they've got too much depth for us." Conner snid.

"II looks hkc we got smoked, but you have to remember those

are by far the two best teams in the nation."

Individually, two NIC freshman qualified for the national meet.

Maria Ridley finished sixth with a time of 19:22. ' 'Maria ran well. She was only four seconds back of the leaders at two miles but developed a side ache. She will keep improving up to nationals," Conner said.

Kelly Swinney was the 10th fin isher wilh A time of 19:46 " Kelly had a great race and is an nu1ometic: qualifier as she wru in the the top 10. She'~ real tough and may make All-American (top 2S) et nationals," Conner said Other women finlshe~ were, Katy McElhcnncy (20:54, 17th), Joey Jinn kins (21 :17, 20th), ca~ie Williams (21 :29, 21M). Jill sn .... yer (21 :39. 22nd), Staci Prcppernau (21 ·SI, 23rd) and Mary Moore (22:25, 2Stll).

Up tor tho bunny--A womens basketball player works Inside during a recenl practice.

Continuing the series was wise brian walker At In t, the dust has cleared. But the sorrow, memories and disbelief will remain evident for many years 10 come. How could in 15-20 seconds of our lives something so disastrous occur? Unfortunately. the priie of our national pastime was one of man)' concerns that arose.

The enrthquakc near San Franciseo brought up many questions that perhaps mankind may ne,·cr be able to answa ckarly. The obvious one con· cerning the World Series: Should the event ha,e been continued or not?

The series was delayed until the Tuesda)• following the disaster, then was put off until that Friday.

The teams played. but \\ ho knows\\ hat team was beucr mentally and physically prepared to continue.• Though Oakland had a commanding 2-0 lead in the series before the quake and looked like it

WO\ going to breeze on another que~tion ari ~cs.

Some critics may argue that it will stttl remain unclear "ho the real champion \\Ould be 1r the scrirs hadn't been interrupted.

First, l strongly believe that is was a good idea to lei the games continue, mainly with the common argument that it would help restore normalcy. Though it definitely wouldn't cure all the pains of e,eryone, it would be a stan for the players , people of the community and the nation in general to get on with their Ii\ es.

The I I-day postponement helped contribute to our negative thoughtS on continuing. Once the players started to get mentally prepared again, another delay was announced. That's enough to drain anybody's rmotions, especially during such a prestigious event.

Still, l feel it \\BS almost a must for the players to fin.ish out the season. If they hadn't continued, another question would have loomed about.

Down the road they would have wondered what would ha\e happened.

The fans follo\\ed thr same suit. Their interest shrank do" n 10 ,mually nothing after waiting such n Ions period or Lime during reconstruction.

Again. ,cry understandable.

I credit new Commi~,ioner f·ay Vincent for 11 marvelous Job of dcci\ion making. Only on the job for just over a month, Vincent was forced to male one of the arguably most important dcci ~ioM in baseball h~tory. He also made it loud and clear that baseball was one of the ~econdary problems, which was tmporlant to get across.

The A's definitely proved they were the better team during both halves of the series. They deserved it and rightfully celebrated after the final out.

We must not overlook the fact that both teams \\ere winners in helping out both the community and the nation as a whole after the disaster. Donations were made to those seriously involved. They \\CDl out and did something that some of the players might not have been particularly exciled about doing at the time-playing baseball. Con· cem for others and sacrificing is what it was all about. Hau off for allowmg this tense year in baseball to come to a complete end-something it really needed.

RAKU /romp./] wrong. The small pops, called crackles, arc desired bc(ausc they arc pan of lhe decoration. Any kind of crack or break in the roku 1s acceptable, unlike other forms or pollcry.

When the pou arc finished, they look like they have been splallercd by a rainbow, having a mixture or any kind or color im• aginable. Wailing to sec whal colors the fire would produce on the polS gave "the

feeling of suspense and mystery," student Joyce Horvath said.

Lisa DaboU, an an instructor al NIC and host or the firing, said that people must ad· jusc their view or what the final piece will look like because lhe fire is what is actually in conirol, not the poller.

"Sometimes the piece is really gorgeous with lots or nashing.s of color. and sometimes it's very soft and subtle. We don't have the total control that a lot of people demand and require in their craf1.s,"

she said.

This clement or surprise and the fact that the whole firing proce5s takes only 40 minutes instead of a day or two attracted students.

"This way I can get immediate satisfaction," Lup(' Payne, a pouery assistani at NIC, said. "No one con really visualize raku when making it. I think I know what I am doing, but I really don't.''

Students brought along friends and family 10 the firing, making it a communi·

1y event rather than a college event. Even 1hough some or them were not par1icipa1ing, the overall excitement of what the kiln would produce was evident among everyone present. A parry atmosphere surrounded 1he naming ll<iln, with people of all ages and sizes ea ting and laughing and talking together. One woman asked loudly if the event could ~ considered a "pot party," and basically. that is what it was.

It was a party involving pots where everyone could also learn the an of raku.

by Laurie Ingle

by Bonnie Henry

Drug materials from a 1988 drug bust in Bonners Ferry arc nt North Idaho College.

Originally the mnterfals were donated to Bonner High School in Bonners Ferry. Afler rinding it couldn'1 use the donated materials, the high school sold the remaining materials to NIC, the University of Idaho and other high schools la North Idaho.

The paraphenailla bought by NIC consists of a variety of experimental glass beakers and bottles.

According to Roberta Black, a lab technician forr the chemistry department, the materials will be a great bc'ncfit for students ond faculty. especially for science experiments. The material5 arc valued 111 approximately S700 to S800.

Black said it is highly unusual for NIC to receive materials like these from drug busts, but they have often received experimental chemicals. such as sulfur.

"This is the first time NIC hos received glassware " she said. ' Black said she expecl!l to sec many of the matcria ls to be used often in science lab experiments.

blems, like world hunger, aren't readily solved.

For most of the 20th century, phy5icists have enjoyed a field day, bringing us the wonders- and horrors-of atomic pow°'r, 1elevision, space travel, quontum mechanics, computers, even a peck at the origin of the universe.

Now the rate of scientific advancement is again exploding, this time with the biologislS playing at center court. Their discoveries and inventions will rndkally change the world once again, just as the physicists' have.

The question, then, is not whether global problems can be sol\cd, but why they aren't.
