'Noticeable improvement' in past weeks ...

Fumes raise stink in Hedlund

by Deboreh Akers and Bobby Hemmond Fumes from chemical solvenu and paints have been blamed for causing headaches. diulncss, irritated eyes, r:uhes. nausu and disorientation among staff and students of lhe Hedlund Building for at lea.st five months, and now administrators say solutions arc near.

Helen Bronson, director of the Learning Center. where the fumes evidently arc concen1ra1cd, said there hiu been a "noticable Improvement" in the quality of air in the last two weeks.

A ,,arr member who wished to remain anonymous agreed the air quality had improved and added, "After a year of complaining and asking for something 10 be done, we feel \a tis lied we were finally listened 10 and pro• vcd we weren't juu a bunch of whiners."

According 10 Rolly Jurgens. dean of administrauon. the ,mcll hM existed for several year\ but had incrcas· ingly gotten wor,c this winter. fiuyTck, on air analysis firm hired in Jenullr)', has been testing nnd making chnngcs to improve the conditions.

During the Jon. 2S Boord orTru,tccs meeting, Jurgens said 1m mu lls were expected in two weeks. Recently he could not explain why It had taken until March to get rcsull1, but added "We did what we thought prudent with the rnc11 we had." " In my opinion, the cidmlnistrtllion did not act as fast ns we should hove," soid Dennis Conners, dean or ncadcm!c nffolrs. "The problem hos ulsted for over n year." Ho udded 1h01 FnyTck had natcd promptly in the testing.

A testing of 10 chemicals lnown 10 exist In the building w11s done and reported Morch .S by CIONA. the lnsumnce carrier for NIC. According to n memo issued by CIONA, ''The lnbomtory nnnlysi~ of the Identified corn pounds were aU conccntrotcd well below the threshold limit , 1aluc. time weishtcd nvcmgc tmd shorHctm upmurc limit."

Nothing wns reported os to Ions-term exposure.

When CIONA wns called for comment. they referred questions 10 n vke president in Philadelphi11, who did not return the Sentinel's coll.

According 10 Robena Bla~l . a l11b 1cchnieh1t1 in the NIC chemistry department, "Long-1erm c.1posurc effects 1u c more dlrncuh 10 detcnninc."

Black gave the cumpk or asbestos. which was used in buildings in the 1920s. " It did not ~me a problem until the '80s.'' Black said.

))

Are students priority?

The Sentinel would like to apologize to its readers for an editorial from the Dec. 7, 1989, issue, entitled "Students are priority."

Recent actions by the administration in regard to the smell in the Hedlund Building and the merger of the vocational and academic secretaries studies seem to suggest that mo11ey, not students, arc priority.

When reporters from the Sentinel approached staff and faculty members on these two separate issues, they were often told by the people being interviewed that they had been instructed not to comment on certain aspects of the issues. Some said they feared reprisals from the ndministration-even the loss of their jobs- if they made comments.

Another problem the reporters met with was the possibility of coached answers. For example: When a reporter asked Rolly Jurgens, dean of administration, which is more important-a financial loss from absenteeism and turnover due to health problems resulting from fumes in the Hedlund Building or loss of tuition and fees from the auto body program , if it wt're closed down- Jurgens replied ''You're asking me if l '"e stopped beating my wife."

When another reporter asked Helen Branson, director of the Learning Center, a similar question, he was met with the same response. Laughing, Branson replied, "You're asking me if l\•c stopped beating my wife."

Coincidence?

Not hardly, considering either reply makes no sense, especially in Branson's ease.

Herc's another good one.

When President Bob Bennett

was ask,ed if he knew why so many staff and faculty were afraid to talk on the record to Sentinel reporters about the merger of the academic and vocational secretarial studies, Bennen replied, 1 'No, I don't (know). The only reason I can think of is that, uh , there was some give and take and, uh. unless they're thinking they have an opinion they didn't share with me, but they had an opportunity to share them, and what I mentioned to you is all that I heard . It's hard for me to second-guess other people. It (the merger) isn't a Orm thing yet; maybe 1hat 's why they're concerned. It hasn't been presented to the Board or the Curriculum Council, but I think as far as working through the details, they've done most of that. " Huh? ln opposition to Bennett's "nonnnswer," a couple of staff and faculty members said they were "afraid to and told not to, talk."

What kind of an institution is it that denies the First Amendment right to free speech, denies students information in matters that pertain to their health and education and allows its employees 10 feel threatened if they don't wa"e their First Amendment rights?

North Idaho College was put here for one reason only-education.

To the best of the Sentinel's knowledge, the only thing on this campus 1hat should be considered confidential information are personal transcripts. Information that may affect a student's decision on lhe classes he or she takes or his or her health isn't something tha1 should be "covered up."

LETIERS TO THE EDITOR

_J

Rape hurts mind, emotions Dear Editor: I thought that the or1lcle on dntc rope in the Inst i,,uc ".i II worrthv attempt at expressing the Inexpressible, i.e. the long-term ~ufttrin& wh1.:h rc1uhs from premature sexual involvemenl. The fnet h thnt ~e'< ctnd c~tr~me intimacy without marital commitment, respect ond mponsibility dot incalt:uloble dumnge 10 the most important sex organs or all: the mind and emotions.

However, ndditionol laws ore not the answer. We already ha~e law, 10 pro· tect 14 year-olds from getting drunk and lying on top of each other all night in somebody's comper. The dear girl in the accouni \\I\$ not )imply the victim of date rope, shewn, nl\o the vi\:tim or se:tual nruve1e and magicaJ thinking (it could never hor,pen 10 me), misconcepuon~ not uncommon to 14 ycnr-olds. No law 1n the world would have protected her in that 111u11uon (unJc\\ you favor the social atomosphere o r a place like the hlnmlc Republ ic or Iran). Whal she needed was a caring, understanding adult 10 explain lo her, Ion, before her 14th bir1hday, in terms she could undrrsland, why not 10 get into such a 1hua1lon in the £int place.

The problem is lha1 this gener1111on h1n an over-abundance of parems who have bought the famous lie: "You only go around once In life and you have 10 grab all the gusto you cllll" and its antecedent: "Take care of number one".

Irresponsible parenb are out "grabbing the gu.s to", spli1ung up ramilles, and leaving children to largely raise lhemsehe,.

The only hope for this counlJ')' ii not the multiplication of new laws, but rather a new generation of young pare.nu" ho will resolve 10 succeed where their parents have failed. Tlus new gencrauon or parenrs need 10 re-<ilscover the truth that real gusto does 001 come from 1alcing care or number one, but from taking care of others: namely. taking care of one's sp<>usc and cluldren. Putting aside private pleasures in order 10 help build a healthy family life is an investment in lhe future "'hich \\ill continue to pay pnccless dividends long after the holJow "gusto", which mocks and bec.kons to us from flashy media hype, has fizzled out.

Children need to get respect, affirmation and discipline, whenever they need it, from understanding and available parents, rather than U)'ing 10 resolve vague longings for conncctcd.ncss through pre-marure sexual means. There will always be boys like Mike in the account. Mike rca.Uy didn't want very much, but be wanted everything that dear girl had, and he took that wbkh was most precious to her, before be passed out on the noor.

Strong, healthy families that build a sense of resp<>nsib1lity, belonging and murual respect are still our best and only hope for the funurc.

gunter Coming soon to a theaLer near you-"Baby Boomers Hit Lhe Books."

They're back in the classroom...They know all the answcrs ...Thcy're older than the instructors.

I lurched out of bed this morning after a hideous Technicolor nightmare. NIC was filled with pompous. old windbags-much like myself.

In every class, more than half of tlie stud en rs were over 30. They saL up straight, their pencils were always sharp ond whenever a question was asked, o forest of middle-aged hands shot up. The fnces behind the hands grinned wildly as if 10 say, "Pick me! Pick me! I know the answer!"

But ii was on evil griu.

out by a few hundred student androids. Clothed in the garb and mannerisms of the "traditional" student, they parked their cars, roamed the halls and took up desk space. They were programmed not 10 vote, not 10 question authority, never 10 cry foul .

And the Baby Boomen;' grins grew wider.

Slowly, the dialog at the college was given over 10 the "non-traditionals." In the last, frightening scene, lhe camera panned a typical classroom.

Crow's feel accentuated by permanent smiles, the Baby Boomers sat and endlessly batted around their shared experience and common ideas. It was a group-think orgy. Nothing new was ever said.

Time didn't pass, and the keys 10 the future were on a retractable keychain.

It can happen-in some ways it is happening-here.

Look around your classes. Who is parricipating? Who's throwing out the answers?

More important, who's asking questions?

Increasingly, u's the outspoken nontraditionals. Returning adult students can bring a 10110 rhe college e~periencc, but only when we share it w11h our younger cohoris. Sure, we've

Writer praises rape vi ctim Edhor: I nm writing in reference to the article, "The Crime of Dote Rape," which oppenrcd in the Morch 1, 1990 issue of the Sentinel.

I would first like 10 commend rhe author of this article and thank her for shoring her experience. Rn1>e is not on easy subject to talk about, but one I feel needs 10 be addressed.

I know quite n few people who hove read Lhis article may feel it was the victim's foult. I , on the other hand, do not believe this. This is a classic example of dote rape; nnd ii wns rope. From the minute she u11ercd the word "no'' it constituted rope. The one thing everyone needs to remember is no one asks to be roped.

I feel tht' article was worth wriLing, however, to me, it read more liken story of romance gone wrong. I think the nrtlcle needed more impacting statements 10 emph1tsi2e how brutal the crime of rape is. Being a volunteer with the Rape Crisis Network, I know rope is not just a physical crime; it is also emotional.

It is like committing murder and taking a person's life away, because from that point on the victim's life will ne,¡cr be the same.

I am glad the author is finding herself again and regaining control o,er her life. Hc:r's is a " success'' story, if one can call it that. Some women are never able 10 overcome the damaging effects of rape.

Once again I would tile to thank the author for sharing her experience and to thank the Sentinel for seeing Lhe need 10 print this story.

Insurance 'insufficient' Editor: In the Marth issue of the Sentinel, you printed a letter from my son, Michael Ryan, leaving out a portion of the second scnten~. It should have read, " It (lhe mandatory health insurance) is jeopardizing the excellent health care coverage which some studen~ already possess in e.'<change for health catt co,¡erage that is woefully inadequate for illnesses requiring long hospitalizations or cxpcnshe medications."

Michael attended North Idaho College on a part-time basis, so he wouldn't lose the health insurance he already had. He would have liked 10 go full-time, but, because he had several health problems, he felt it would have been risky 10 do so.

read all the right books and seen a little bit of the real world. Our instructors love us because we are :m~ious 10 pull from our storehouse of accepted knowledge and dutifully regurgitate it on command.

But we need 10 learn something-rather than not prove what we've learned . What we need is someone to take a new look at the old material, someone to Oy in the face of authority. In shon, what we desperately need is someone 10 call bullshit on occasion.

What is righ t is relative. Even with our memorized lists of names, dates and pla~-h\ts we eagerly recite whenever po~siblC-\\C don't know jack.

In our time, we've managed to get an ncellcnt head stan on screwing up your \\Orld, and now we're attempting an end run ar<'und ha\ing to turn over the conrrol.

Racism story irks student Editor: When I read the arude " Ratist rcponed on campus," I wa5 very di1nppomtcd m our school p;iper. Th.at article wu a prime example of media hype, and I, my~elf, don't li~e 11. The name of Lhc nrudc alone is very mi1leading. No one reported a racist on campus (at least not in that article).

A 101 of people write a lot of dunp that they don't mean on bathroom wall,, refming 10 sex, homosC'(ual.Jty, and npericnccs they claim 10 have had. I am not condoning any remarks such as these, and I did sign the petition that ls mentioned m the article, but I don't assume that the KKK is infiltrating our school.

What 1am saying is that seeing a sw.utib, which for some Indian 1ribc1 is considered a spiritual symbol for male power, is not evidence enough for me 10 bclie\C that there are racuu infiluaung our campus.

Reader pleased, upset Eilitor: I v.ould like to thank all of the people at North Idaho College v.ho took the time out to present a "Visit with Vizuui" weekend. Both conceru and the master class 111, ere excellent.

I would mo like lO congratulate the high school honors band for a Job well done and the Nonh Idaho Jazz Ensemble for doing a magnificent job of backmg Allen Viuuti during the jazz cooeen. The big thank you should go 10 Allen Vizzuti a.od his 111,ife, Laura Vizzuti, for playing at the concau and president Bennett for helping make the "Vizzuti weekend" happen.

There is, howe\er, jun one more thing. I am a little upset that there weren't mort people at the performances. If NIC is 10 put on more functions and events like these, we need to ba,e some community interest. ~ i s e . quality live entertainment like Allen Vizzuti, Bobby Mcferrin and others may not be booked anymore because of lad: of panicipation within the community.

Japanese students come to NIC; English program will be offered bt Kittle Law

''Gaijenl Oai;enl Hello, Oaijen," yelled a large group of Japanese students u 1hey clustered around their school fence and stared al an American In 1he slr«t.

"Gaijcn" meam foreigner in Japanese.and 1ha1 was North Idaho College philo,ophy mmuc1or Jim Minkler'• introduction 10 Japan where he spent 1wo yeau teaching English 10 the Japanese.

Minkler is promo1ing 1he Engllsh 11$ a Se· cond LanguageS1udics (ESL) for Japanese students al NIC. ESL programs arc slated for 1hls summer. One is from June 29 10 Aug. S, which will be hO\ling about 10 female s1uden1, from 1he Nagasaki Junior College In Japan. The second Is from July 29 10 Aug. 21, hosting about 30 female, rrom Tohoo University in Tokyo.

Families ure needed 10 be "host home&" for these s1udcnu. Each student mun have her own bedroom and tramportallon back and for1h 10 NIC. About 10 families are needed for seven weeks for 1he first program. The ,iudcnu will be paying hos13 S7S per week. The 5eeond program needs abou1 JO families for a weekend. Interested par· 1lcs may pick up an 11ppllcatlon from Minkler at NIC. The Sludenu In ESl will be s1udylna l!ngllsh In 1hc mornings, lcavl1111hdr after· noon, free . The f1rn pro9r11m is a more

conccn1ra1ed, intensive program, while the second program is eoordina1ed with Hagadone Hospi1ali1y, gi\<ing the students an extensive 1ouris1 program along with their studies.

"We have a large college near Tokyo 1ha1 wants 10 send about 100 to 180 uudents 10 NIC and form a sisitr college relationship with us," Minkler said. "We don't have any place 10 put them."

Minkler said 1ha1 if 1he programs go v.cll 1hb summer, ii will open 1hedoor 10 more ESL programs.

"We wan1 10 11ar1 slow and build up," Minkler said.

The reason tha1 Nonh Idaho u amac· ting mostly female studenu, according 10 Minkler, is because 1hcy are the only ones thml have the time. The men in Japan arc 100 buw 10 do much more than work, he said. The women in Japan arc the ones who have more leisure lime.

"Most of 1he 1wo-yea1 colleg« coruiSt or women who don'1 go any funhcr than 1ha1," Minkler said. "They learn how 10 run a home and take some academic: s1udia such u enalbh."

If 1he programs go well this aummer, Minkler plans 10 expand them 1hit fall .

Any foreign s1udents arc 11,,cJcome.

"Teachers in Japan arc called Scn'CI and arc highly honored," Minkler said. "What a shock when I came LO 1he U.S. and

••uah•

in one of our high schools af1cr teaching in Japan for tv.o ycan!''

When asked wba1 was the hardest adjustment for the Japaneses1udents coming 10 the United States, Minkler said the Japanese l!udcnts don't sec why we carry in our own din and live in ii when II is so much ea.ricr to take off ou1 shoes. Also v~ different is the American greasy diet and relaxed social code, he said.

Tuition, fees slated for increase next year

by Bobby Hammo nd Several requests for new or reorganized funding and a propasal 10 raise NI C's tuition for the first time in five years highlighted items on the agenda of Lhe NIC Uoard of Trustees last Thur~day night.

Under a plan presented by Dean of Students David Lindsey, tuition for the 1990-91school year would be raised about $32 per student per semester-an 11 percent increase.

TI1c plan is a proposal and is 001 in its final form. Defore the plan is implcimntcd, if it is 01 all, Lindsey said there would be "a lot of changes." Even with the proposed lncrca'IC, tuition at NIC would still be well below the average for both 1wo and four-year mstuutions in this area, according to figures presented by Lind\ey to the Board.

A report prc,ented by Mary Carr, the new director 01 the library lured last April. urged 1h01 the library's funding be upped rrom 3.2 percent or the budget to S percent in order 10 deal with incrco..cd use and ,ervite• offered by the library.

The amount of hour!> the library~ open would need to be cul, she said.

In search of North Idaho's Stonehenge

by MIii Turley NIC welding lnstrucror lnveatlgeted by Martha Cook and MIii Turley

The time Ls daylight, June 21, 1840. The place is a snow,covered ridge near the highest peak In the Coeur d'Alene mountains In what Ls to become North Idaho.

Several Coeur d'Alene Indians, a Spokane, two Kalisptll and one or two Flatlteod chiefs sit In a circ:le of six stone pillars, about seven feet higlt and evenly spared on a 32-foot circle. On the front of the plllors, facing the rising sun, is wr/1/11g of some u11k11ow11 origin.

Tltr lnd/01,s hav~ a brief but solemn ceremony In the de11p snow that covl.'rr the top of tht rldgt, thtn make <1 retreat back to their individual tribes. Thty reappear once more on Dec. 21 and repeat the ceremony. This same ritual has been taking p/oct for many years, ptrhaps centuries.

Fact or Fiction?

The truth is, we may never know for sure If these events took pince. The monument,, however, have been the subject of contro\'ersy in North Idaho for beuer tlmn 100 ycnr,. Old they exist? Whnt was their purpose, nnd where we they today?

What is the signincancc or the wri1ing on the face of n stone? Speculation simply causes more questions 10 be .asked.

A series of books by Dr. Barry Fell, Harvard's linguist and anthropologist of some renown, may shed some light on what these monuments arc.

FeU, in his book, Amtrira B.C., claims the place we call Norlh America was coloniz.ed many ccnturies bet:ore Columbus arrivtd. His theory is interesting in tha1 the people who inhabited lllis country at that time built monuments to the dead with what is calltd a mcgalilh (large upright standing s1one}. This could

reasons for 1ha1. Fim of all, 10 my knowltdge, no one has seen them after 1913. Why do you suppose 1ha1 would be? The 1910 fire burned through the area in such force that they may have been exposed only a shor1 three- or four-year period before the brush grew back up and concealed them. Also. because the fire wa.s so hot and the ground was burned as much has 24 inches down. perhaps the resulting erosion has caused them 10 fall and slide do,.,11 the hill, or at least out of original position.

who were "s1randed" in this loca1ion while they were "prospecting.''

When asked what stranded them, he said, "High water."

"At .S,600 rce1 above sea level?" I asked.

Needless to say, I had some reserva1ions abou1 his qualifications at that point. Further study, however, and conversations with geologists about possible high wa1er in this area, confirmed at some point in the las1 10,000 ye.nrs an ice now had blocked the Clark Fork River near what is now Noxon Rapids Dam. In ract, 2,.SOO feet of water lay a1 the present location or Missoula. This means 1he suspected pillar site would in fact be on a peninsula surrounded by water.

Other ln1cres1ing things occurred on 1ha1 outing.

The psychic asked me to take him to an old mine he "knew" was there. He had little knowledge or the area ond many of the locals don't even know the location or this mine sight. He began 10 talk as if he was one of the people who worked in that old mine.

Weird? To say the least I Loter in the day and still at the old mine site, he showed me where the mine garbage dump was loca1ed and begon Lo dig out old bottles, cam and other hems that hnd been there since about 1924 when the mine was in full production. This garbage dump was under ground, and in my opinion wiu undc1cc1able withou1 " special powers."

The Inst thing I asked him was "Where arc the monuments?" He pointed across the draw, abou1 o mllc oway, and said "There." Many nuempls al wolking around in that spot have produced no evidence of the monumcn1s.

My own theory of what these monuments ore is compllcoted and only backed up by mony hours of personal rending in geology, onthropology, linguistics und asironomy. It i~ onl y speculation.

If, in fnc1, unclcn1 people did come 10 North ldoho Bnd America to 1>rospcc1 nod managed to get across the Con1i11cntnl Divide in their search for copper: the Clark Fork Rh•cr would have been o natural rout e ror 1hc111 to hove tnkcn.

Remember, mos1 c-oppcr shes nrc located near navlgnble streams. Since ore deposht do cxl)l on the surfnce in nll of the Coeur d'Alene mountains (Bunker Hill Mine wu ~ discovered from 1he open dcposils), then it stands 10 rcnson these copper deposits may have been discovered in the general locntion of the su~pcctcd monument loco1ions.

If these prospcctoo were monument builde~. they m11y hn,c bull! the pillars for religious or 01hcr rcuons unknown. If they were caught by n cnumrophic e,·cn1, such !IS An ice now movement.

1hcn they ml\y hove been marooned and unabk to get back 10 where they l'OmC' from. Al this point, ha"in8 lost hope, 1hcy may ha,,c intermarried with local Indians or arc the forerunners of local Indians.

An iotcre 1iog sic.le light: Coeur d'Alene, Spokane and Flathead Indians have words in their language tha1 Brt' n<1t only foreign to 1111 other Indian l1mgua,ges, bu1 seem to have "Celtic" ongin. The Celts arc the people who FeU theorized as thC' copper prospectors and also monument builders.

One otht'r intel'C$ting fact about the Coeur d'Alene Indians- They built megaliths on the St. Joe.Coeur d' /\lent Dividr as latt as 184S or unlit Lhc Blacl..

"During that transition time when we didn't have a drummer is when we got some definition as to wha1 we were go• Ing to piny,'' Mohoncy said.

Drummer Joke Hurd arrived in July or 1989 ond the bond began.

Mohoocy said the music Corpus Delicti plays is popular In 1hc Los Angeles area. He cited Sanctuary and

Iron Maiden as innucnccs with more mainstream groups such as Mctallica and Slayer also being inspirations.

He denied thol those groups caUSt a negative crrcc1 on the listener. While he said Corpu~ Delicti avoids a message, he recognized Lhat other groups relay ideas.

"I don't believe music causes anything," Mahoney said. ''It doesn'1 cause lhe problem. A musician i~ kind or like a poc1. tr a band is pretty negative, i1 's because they see a 101 or negativism."

Review

Diverse dancers drift to desirable NIC stage

by Karin Lau

Elisa Monte's primal ins1incts will be released in front or a North Idaho audience when she and her dance company come to the Nonh Idaho College stage Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

The Blisa Monte Dance Company will perform a series or four "rich visual stories" in the styles or modern, jau, ethnic and Broadway dance and music, said Cheryl Brock, president of the Performing Arts Alliance.

The first story 10 be 1old is th led "Pigs and Fishes" nnd wns cornmi$Sioncd by Alvin Ailey in 1982. The next story, about Indian mythology. is titled "Audentlty" and will be followed by "Split Pcrson11lhy" and ''While Dragon" according to Andy Covington. the l.:.lls11 Monie Committee chairman for the Performing Ans Alliance.

Red October rates high

The well-known troupe has toured aU over Europe and in 1982 won first prize at the International Dance Festival of Paris.

Monte's dance style has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "spectacularly intense-but not usually because of limb· nailing or racial contortions. No, it is literally visceral. It comes from deep within the solar plexus, the spine, the pelvis, and ii gave nearly all her program...an elemental authenticity." " I would imagine the aud ience would find an exhilarating cvening... fillcd with im· ngina1i ve dancing," Covington said.

Tickets for the performance are SI0-12 for adults and $6 for high school age and under, available at Burt 's Music, the NIC Box Office, Oook & Game Company, Coeur d'Alene Natural Poods ond Street Mu\k in Spokane.

The commander of a Russian submarine was the last role I expected Scan Connery to play. It was an unexpected but pleasing surprise to find Connery on the "other side" of espionage.

"The Hunt for Red October ' wa~ an action-packed, suspense-filled mo\'ie from beginning 10 end. The Red October is o Russian, statc-of•the•art, vir tually undetectable submarine. The Ru\· sian submarine commnndcrs, including Connery, devi~e n pl:in 1h01 put1 lhc

world's officials into a stale of chaos.

Thoughts ranging rrom terrorism to another world war haunt both the Russian and American leaders when the Red October suddenly disappears from Lhc sonar screen. This leads 10 the hunt de.signed 10 destroy both the submarine and its crew.

Only one man, a CIA agent, believes Connery's actions were misundcrsrood.

He embarks on a hunt of his o"n to pre.serve the submarine named Red Qc. tober. He jumps out or planes, dodges missile, and kills a Russian chef in order to save the submarine nnd it~ crew.

Instructor McKinlay lives life in laugh lane

by Karin Lau A note from her reads •·Herc's something else to bitch and moan about."

The bu tton on her jacket reads •'No whining."

Annie McKinlay is one funny lady.

Known for her off-the-wall sense of humor akin to her ravoritc cartoonist, "The Far Side" creator Gary Larson, the North Idaho College spee<:h instructor

"/ give my students permission to laugh. ' ' - -Annie McKinlay bcgon her career as n humori5t "probably the day I was born," she said.

McKinlay said she hns known all her life thnt she hns a great sc111e of humor. She looks nt everything she cncoumcn in her life n~ something with the potential 10 be funny, no matter how bad ii may seem at nm. In fact, her c,-husbnnd used 10 tell her that ,11e wn, her own Iden of II good time.

Two yenrs ogo, McKlnlny discovered she could earn a living by shnring her gift of laughter with nudicm.-cs. ~o she tool. her act lln the road by gi,•ing public speeches with n twist of McKlnlay humor.

She wns nlrcody n member of

Toastmasters, a professional speaking group, and had been giving professional speeches for about 2~ yea.rs when "I was asked to give a speech with a humorous twist," McKinlay said. The speech was about humor and health "and from that, I was asked to do that speech more and more often."

Since then, she has been in demand and often must tum away prospective speaking engagements.

Around NIC. however, McKinlay is known for her humor in and out of the classroom. She said that classroom humor enhances a student's learning capabilities because he or she Is more willing 10 learn when the class is enjoyable. " I give my studen u permission to laugh," McKin lay said. "I try to give humorous examples because people can relate to them. They're real-life examples. but they're also humorous."

One of her favorite stories about real lire Is about a gas station sign she saw while driving around one day. The sign illid "We serve Ood" and immediately her mmd new. She said 1hat ,he wanted to run up 10 the sign with a large felt pen and 11,rue "All others mu~t pump their ov.11111• " In her nonverbal communk.iuon ~'OurJC, \he has her ~tudents look at r,~turc, and dcsc:nbc their feeling~ about them One pk· iurc is of o beautiful blonde 1<oman 1<car· Ing a gold lame' drw. McKinlay tells o ilU· dent that this woman 1~ having an affair with his or her father and 1Uh what thru first impre~~ion is of her.

Comedy night's headliner fails to impress writer Despite the hea,,y billing of the headlining comic, the Associated Students of Nonh Idaho College Comedy Night scored more laughs for the unpubllciz:cd opening acts.

New York native and bind. comedian Cnrt Banks amused the student crowd with remarks about Montana sheepherders and onh Idaho skinheads. Banks commented that Nonh Idaho was one of the few places one can find pillO\\C3SCS with eyeholcs in them. His im~~ona1ion of Prince doing the McDonald's jingle ''t"o all beef pat· tic~, $pedal sauce, lcuucc, cheese, pickles, onions on a swunc seed bun" caused the audience to react with hyslcrical laughter.

'What .. . ?'

Writer questions poetry

by Laurie Ingle A good poet is hard 10 lind-apparcntly in Idaho, anyway. Maybe that's what the North Idaho College Creative Writers Club already knows.

Neidy Messer, originally from Peck,

Idaho (population 200) read her poetry on March 21 In the Kootenai Room of the Student Union Building.

Messer, a creative writing instructor from Boise State University, should work on her storytelling rather than her poetry.

Her "poems" had no form at all and only

a couple had a point to make. ll's true that poetry has no set rules, but good poetry should have some kind of shape.

Individuals in the audience began to slip into deep sleep and had to shake themselves ro sLay awake. They probably thought that · poetry about fruit in a grocery store was not impressive.

The somewhat interesting ponion of the hour was when Messer took time to tolk about what it was like for her to grow up in Peck. Many people could relate to the cxpcrienc-es she described. Why, then, did

- ,HE BJltG005£ LOONE'<-

she not develop these experiences into her poetry more?

Shouldn't poetry create thought? tr so, what is there to think about when it comes to grocery shopping? Messer mentioned grocery shopping more than once in just one poem. Of course. grocery shopping had nothing ro do with the topic she was using. The topic was violence involving women.

So, the question is asked, What is poetry? Is it the works of Ncidy Messer?

Who knows?

By simply looking at the seven national titles his wrestlers have brought home since he became the head wrcsLIJng coach at NIC in 1977, h's easy to get the picture.

In his 13 years at NIC, the Montana native has amassed a career win-loss record of 202-8-1.

Owen began his career at NIC In J9TS when he held the posi tions of dorm proctor, intramural director,

" It wasn' t a national champion.ship, but it was a turning point and we got the program back up,'· Owen said. " I've CJCperienccd both sides and I think that's important. You appreciate things more and become more aware of other people and what they go through."

Since the '81 season, NlC hasn't been out of the top three nationally, but that hasn't made Owen unaware of what could happen.

"I never had a goal lo be Division I coach. I 'd rather whip 'em than join

'em."

- - -John Owen Student Union game supervisor, outdoor recreation director and assistant wrestling coach.

Owen, who holds n master's in education from Whitworth as well n, R master's of education In admlnistrotion from the Univenhy of Idaho, won his first nntionol championship during the '78-79 season n111l wn\ selected o~ lhe national junior college coach of 1hc ycnr.

However, things $Cemcd 10 toke a tum for the worse the following two ycors when NIC placed 20th and I Ith mpcctivcly at rtolionals.

"It wns o growing time in my career," Owen said.

"My job at the time wM in jeopardy. ll cau~ed nit to take some time and look Rt the overall program.

I ltamed to appreciate the linle things, the things I took for granted before."

Surprisingly, Owen's most memorable scn~on \\OS not n championship season but the '81 season when hi! wrc\tlcrs plllc:cd third nlltronally.

John Owen "When you get to rhe top of 1he mo11n111ln, there i\ only one WI) to ao and that's down." Owen said

"An old guy told me rnmcthing once and I've alv,,ays \tuck by it. He wd, 'You'd better be nice 10th~ pte>· pie you pus on the way up bcc:llu!>t thcxc arc gorng to be the same people )'OU 1ee on the way down."'

Even after au of the teams' iucce~. Owen rcfusci to tal.c the credit.

"If credit needs to be grven, the gu)S that win arc

the athletes themselves," Owen said. " If tliere is anything that I have done at this school that has been worth while, it's that I've been able to attract good athletes and encourage them 10 work hard.''

The athletes aren't the only ones who work hard for program's success, however. On the wall in his small office behind the stage in the gym is a sign that reads: "Welcome to organized chaos."

It fits.

Owen spends several ho11rs each day talking to coaches, parents and athletes in an effort 10 maintain the current quality of wrestlers Cardinal fans have come 10 CJCpect. " I made a call from St. Pius Church last night 111 8 o'clock trying to catch a I.id. It' what )OU ha,e 10 do. We've got to bring some kich in here or \\c'rc going to get our bum whipped." Q\l~n <t11d.

Lady Cards pummel Ricks, finish third at regionals

by Mike Saunders

Running rampnni over rivol Ricks College on rheir home noor and at the same lime mking third place a1 1he Scenic West Women's Basketball Tournament 1vas not a bad way 10 finish off lhc sea.son. according 10 first-year coach DeHaven Hill.

The Lady Cardinal,. who won the 1ournamcn1 la.st year, spuuered in their opener by losing 10 Utah Valley Community College 97-78, but got it in gear for the 91-73 cruise over Ricks in the consolation final.

"We really struggled the firs, night.

It seemed that we were drained both

mentally and physically," Hill said.

Hill cited the previous weekend's road trip, followed by three days of midterms, and then the long drive 10 Rexburg as possible reasons for the letdown.

With the pressure off, NIC. led by sophomore Leah Palmer's 34 points, improved its record 10 22-1 I on the ~eason and 2-1 against Ricks.

"We played really well to beat a quali· 1y team like Ricks thn1 badly at their place," Hill \aid.

Orher standouts in the game for the Lady Cards included freshman M ichellc Sandholm and sophomores Kim Priebe, Amber Claypool and Gabby Zwaan, who along with Palmer, were playing in

their rinal games for NIC. Palmer earned All-Region honors as well as being nominated for All· American, a distinction sharrd by only one other player in the region. Claypool and Priebe were named 10 the All· Region North Oil 1sion team.

On the season as a \\hole, Hill said he was pleased \\ilh what he saw.

"We overcame a tough period or m· junes and sickness and saw a lot or im· provement in our younger players, \I hich is the key to gro11 ing as a team," Hill said.

NIC, wnh se,cral returning players, should be a rorce 10 be reckoned with next season, according 10 Hill.

"This year being my first, it was a little hard on the players learning a new system, but the returners will know what 10 expect next year.'' he said.

During the off-season, the team will be weight training, making use of the open gym and working on improving skills, Hill said.

"During the season you impro,·c as a 1eam," Hill said. " In the off-season you improve as an individual "

Injuries, batting plague NIC baseball team

by David Carkhuff

The North Idaho College baseball team w11l 1ry to shake off an early season slump in pre-league play ioday. The Cardinals, 6-S overall heading into Tuesday's mntchup with Blue Mountain, host Tacoma Community College at I p.m.

Results of the Blue Mountain game were unavailable at prcsstime.

The team swept a trio of games from the Eastern Oregon J.V. Saturday and Sunday. The Cardinals won 12·2 Saturday in a game shonencd due to the 10-run rule. The Cards c;Kplodcd for five first-inning runs in the contest.

The squod swept a Sunday doublehcnder from the Mounties. Sophomore Darren Finn picked up the win in the 4· 1 opener. The Cnrdinnls won 8--0 in the second game os Daan Stordiau and Rich Hooten com• bined on the shutout.

Cooch Jock Bloxom expressed mi,ed emotions over the team 's progrl:$5 lhi~season. Lack of experience and depth have plagued it in pitching ond baning, Bloxom snld. " 'I his is the worst srnr1 we've had in probably 10 years." he sold. Last year at this time the team \\OS 7-1 overall heading into tourn amen t cornpcthion.

Ille 1990 Yokinm Valley Tournament, March 17-19, showed some of the Cnrdinols' incombtency. They came out swinging against Centralia und Clockama5, but th ose whu were followed by losses to Pierce, Olympic nnd Mount Hood.

Partly to blame was nn outbreak of injuries 1h01 hit the Cnrdlnals before And during the tournament, Blo~om sold.

"The basic thing that we've done, 1n games we won, is we pitched well. They say that 70 to 80 percent of the game is pitching."

Ankle injuries also stopped infielder Ros~ Darner and outfielder Jeff Moffat, both sophomores. Catch(r Randy Young, freshman. pulled a hamstring to m,ss action.

Pitching was not the only area to suffer on the team, Bloxom said. Balling also fell short. he said "We're averaging in hits. as a team, probablv about 100 points below where we should be,'" Blo,om siud.

Debating team faces budget cut

by Mike Saunders

The fate of the North Idaho College debate team is going 10 come down 10 a question of finances, according to Tim Christie, chair of the NIC Communication Division.

Christie said that the entire program is in transition period and may or may not be renewed when the 1990-91 budget is completed.

This year the team was coached by past NJC instructor Dick Hyneman, but when and ir the program returns, the position wiU be better facilitated by having a full-time instructor as the team's adviser, according to Christie.

"It just wasn't good for the team, or the adviser (Hyneman); there were just too many logistical problems," he said.

"At 1his point, though, it's premature to discuss the structure of the team as the budget may not even allow us 10 have a deba1e team at all," Christie said.

CosIS for having the team include student grants, travel and salary for the coach and add up to around $15,000, according to Christie.

"We really have 10 make a decision between hiring ano1her teacher or having the team," Christie said.

This is not the first time the team's future has been in jeopardy. NIC has discontinued the debate program in the past, only 10 start it up again in 1hc following years, according to Christie.

The final decision will be made when the budget is completed, which should be before April I, Christie said.

The lone candidate for activities chair is Don Atha, a business administration ma·or from St. Maries. Atha is also the curent activities director. He took over the osilion at the beginning of spring semester hen elected director Lisa Vanderzwan roppcd out of school after the faU emes1er.

One candidate has filed for each of the hree sophomore senator positions. They re: Kathy Renner, general studies, Coeur 'Alene; Mitchell Alexander, general 1udies, Mullan, and Donna Wood, jouralism, Coeur d'Alene.

"The s1uden1 government of NIC has ome the most effective (student) government in Idaho." Stewart said.

"Student government is a learning process-you learn as you go along," said current ASNIC Vice President Eliane Witches-Pena.

According to Pena, there have been problems with uncontested candidates and voter participation in the past. Pena said she has great concern for the apparent apathy for student government expressed

by NIC students.

''Student government is a learning pro cess " Eliane Wilches-Pena Stewart said the more candidates run, !he more voter participation will thrive and the problems wilt be solved.

"It is really imponant for students to come forth . and run for office because ASN JC is involved in very important decisions on campus," Stewart said.

The voting polls tentatively will be open Wednesday, April 18. StudenlS may vote in the entrance to the Administration Building and in the lobby of the vocational building all day and also in the Student Union Ouildin from 11 a.rn.-1 .m.

"Whal will you do if he does?" I asked.

Grimmett said administators have not considered closing the auto-body depart· mcnt. He said it would be almost impossible to stop now since the s1uden1s that just halfway through the 10-month program.

He added it would cost $30-40,000 10 replace the paint booth.

Spokesmen say the most affected area in the Hedlund is the Center for Career Development, directly above the au10-body department. Accordi ng to secretary Mary Edwards, on Feb. 28 everyone was sent home because 1he smell had become intolerable.

Edwards said some days certain studenlS were prevented from coming to class and at least one had been told by a medical doctor 10 stay away.

Branson said no classes were ever cancelled in the Learning Center a,,d that the teachers she supervised met students on a "walk in" basis, and were free to move their meeting places elsewhere. One day all the students were moved out but only temporarily.

Branson added that no teachers arc cur·

"The new emphasis ... would be that the first year entry level skills for employment would be generated so that at the end of the first year, 1he students would be ready to go 10 work of they want to," Haught said. ''Or, 1f they decided they would like 10 have an AAS degree, they can come back In the second year and pick up the requirements for that." " It makes sense 10 allow all those people who arc in1crcs1ed in developing their skills as quickly as possible 10 get those skill as soon as possible," Bcnncn sald.

But Miller worried that by teaching students ba.sic secretarial skills rim, the ones who choose 10 continue might not be able to retain them.

"They (merger committee memben) have worked through that to the satisfaction of all the teachers, " Bennett countered. "When I met with them the other day, that was not a concern-at least it wasn't expressed. All I know is that lhc program they have adopted is pretty much the one they had on the academic side, so if there were concerns on that aide In respect to the proarammin&, I believe lhOIC have been resolved."

Hau&ht and Brown did not dtc any of lhe problems Miller dld and In fact uld they were pJeucd with the propmal. On the ocher hand, Arthur-&imlcUe and Nellon refuted to comment.

Dapite any on-aoina cooc:erm, the ,roup produced a curriculum prosram for the proposed Bu.rinaa and Office Education Divis.ion and ii currently workiq on coune dacrlptiom and clUI ICbedules, Brown said.

"Even if the air is safe and they arc breathing putrid air," Jurgens said, "il is my contention we should move them."

He said the most Ukely location for the move for the department was the Bonner Room in the SUB. Conners said he had not been informed of anyone being prevented from anendlng class or work.

Jurgens said no one has left his or her job because of the fumes.

Mary Edwards said, "We're all very dedicated, and everyone gets along well.

This is 1hc main reason no one has quit."

According to Branson, plans 10 move her department 10 the Bonner Room had, as far as she knew, never gone beyond the discussion stage.

Miller is 001 quite as optimistic, sayina that he did not think the Curriculum Council would pau the mcraer. He did not elaborate on why he thought that.

If the Curriculum Council docs pass the merger, it will then be $COi to the Board of Trustees for its April meeting. If the Bolrd pasm it, the merger will become a reality next semester. funding wilt come from the State Department of Vocational Education, which would pay for two new instructors.

Haught said.

"That would free up those sa.lancs of the academic school, which could be applled to other needs over there," he said.

About 35-'IO percent of the academic school's funding currently comes from tbe state of Idaho and the rest from studc!tt tuition and fees.

while only 61 students (4 percent) oppose the nurse. However, 239 students (14 percent) need more information 10 decide, and 52 students (3 percent) did not answer.

The survey also addressed whether or not students have access to other insurance coverage.

According to the survey, 975 students (58 percent) do have other insurance coverage; 576 students (34 percent) don' t have other coverage and 126 students (7 percent) did not know for sure.

The type of heatlh insurance coverage NIC students have from their other policies was also included in the survey.

A total of 864 students (89 perce nt) who have other insurance have major medical (hospital) coverage; 687 students (70 per· cent) have accident coverage; 597 students (61 percent) have dental coverage; 566 students (58 percent) have perscription drug coverage and 538 students (55 percent) have eye coverage.

"About 40 percent of our students have broad health insurance coverage without the NIC policy," Stewart said. " However, most such policies have no more than 80 percent payment; thus. the NIC policy could cover a portion of the remaining uncovered medical bills."

Also In the course of the study, the ASNIC committee contacted 81 other fouryear and two-year schools In Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana. The other colleges sent information regarding their own policies and from this data the committee made the following recommendations 10 ASNIC. First, the student health insurance with Rhulcn Agency should be dropped at the end of this year. Second, all future insurance companies should be required to present several options to NIC before a policy is chosen. Third, any insurance contract must furnish monthly report& to NIC concerning claims and payments to determine cost effectivenm of the policy.

Fourth, lhe company should be required 10 process all claims in a reasonable ammount of time, and, fifth, the company should provide students with a medical card and a policy brochure.

"The committee's conclusion is that NIC students are paying excessive health insurance premiums for the very limited coverage of the present policy, and the slow processing of claims is unacceptable," Stewan said. " We are further troubled by the large carryover of revenue to the insurance company with no evidence of lower premiums by the company."

According 10 Mark Nichols, assistant vice president of the Rhulen Agency, "Th.is plan (NIC's) is experience rated so price modifications are possible in both directions at subsequent renewals.

"Generally speaking, we try to avoid reducing prices and instead increase benefits," Nichols added.

"You were an abused wife?" I asked. She looked down at her hands and nodded. "h has been nine years. but it is still very painful

to talk about," she said. "I was married for eight years ... " she paused and shuddered, " ...eight years or hell!"

There were 1ears in her eyes as she looked up at me and continued.

" When we were living togeiher, it wasn't too bad because we were living in my apartment and every time he threw a fit , I pitched him out."

"When did /he abuse siart?" I asked.

"About a week before the wedding," she said.

"He got mad about some little thing and ordered me to get in his car." She explained, "In the interest of peace, I obeyed.

"That was when he began 10 ta ke over," she said.

"There were many incidences after that until he was in total control. You see, after we were married, his tune changed. I was his propeny then."

She stopped and cried silenlly, wringing her hands.

Unable to comfort her, I walled. Her 1ears subsided, and giving a shakey sigh, she continued.

'' One time he got so mad that he hit my dresser and broke his hand. I was trying to reason with him because he wasn't making any sense. and he just blew up and hit the dresser.

"I was shocked that he got so madl "By then he was in absolute control," she said. "I couldn't do anything without his permission. I couldn' t watch TV, use the phone or even go shopp· ing. One time I cut my hair and he threatened 10 kill me.u I sol and watched her, amazed al her sudden, deadly calm. She was ashen, and when she looked al me, her eyes were hard and cold. Her look was fierce as she continued.

" He never beat me," she said in a low deadly voice. "He tried that once, and I went berserk and pulled a knife on him. If he hadn't let me go, I swear I would have cut him. He always knew just how far he could go, and then he would back off."

She Slopped again and began 10 shake. " We don't have 10 continue," I said, trying 10 SOOlh her.

"No!" she said abrupt ly. " It has to be told or how will anybody know what goes on?"

She started to gulp for air, and I knew tha1 she had come 10 the port that was hardesl 10 tell. The silence was loud as she lried 10 regain her composure.

She give me a wifd look and blur1ed out, "He

never enjoyed sex unless he took it. lt's ... it's not 1hat I wasn'1 ...llkc I wasn't willing, it's just. .. " she paused.

I waited.

"He would find something 10 yell about and would keep it up until I was in tears. And then ... nnd then .... " She slopped unable 10 go on.

"It is 100 horrible 10 tell," she whi.spered."

I leaned forward lo co/ch her next words.

." ~e would throw me down and rape me," she said m a small child-like voice. "One time ii was so bad that my hcan gave out and I ended up in the emergency room of the hospital."

Do you Wf)llt 10 lei/ me abou/ that lime?" J asked, watching her closely for signs of panic. I knew 1ha1 {/ she go1 pas/ 1his, she would overcome 1he terror 1ha1 she had been experiencing.

II took her o long lime 10 calm down enough 10 continue but, finally gathering 1he courage, she began in o shakey, barely audible voice.

"He had been complaining that I wasn't keeping

the house clean enough, so after he went to bed, I stayed up to pick up so the house would be nice when he got up in the morning. When I got into bed, he raised up on his elbow and growled that I didn't have to stay up all night to ke,cp from sleeping with him."

She fought to keep con((ol as she continued. " He then grabbed the money that he had given me

earlier to pay bills with and said that there were plenty of girls downtown who would sleep with him for the money. And then ... he left."

Again, she lapsed inlo sifence.

"What happened lhen?" I asked.

•·1 lay there in bed all curled up in a ball and

waited," she said. " I was too scared to sleep; I didn't know what to do."

She seemed to shrink down into 1he chair as she recoiled what happened nexl.

" I heard him come in the door and up the stairs into our bedroom," she whispered. " He yanked off the blanket, ripped off my nightgown, threw the money on me, saying that if be was going to pay for it, it may as well be what he was used to and then ... and then ... " She was unable 10 soy who/ happened 10 her nexl.

She was shuddering and crying uncontrollably now.

Her knuckles were while as she clasped her hands in her lap. Reaching dtep down within, she found lht slrtngth to go on.

"Afterward, my chest was hurting so bad that I

couldn't breath, so I called my mother and she took me to the hospital. I remember watching the bean moniter go crazy and the next thing I knew, I woke up in CCU {Cardiac Care Unit)."

"How old were you whe11 you hod 1he hear/ 01tock?" I asked.

"Thirty," she said.

"That is young for a hear/ auock, " I commented.

"Why didn't y ou leave him?"

"I was afraid that be would kill me," she cried.

"He had me convinced that it was all my fault."

"Whatever gave you the courage to finally leave and file for a divorce?" I asked.

"My doctor. She came in my room at the hospital and told me that she, normally, was in the business of saving marriages but if I didn't get rid of 'that man', I may as well buy a grave plot and count on his raising the children because staying with him was going to kill me."

She gave me a de/ermined look.

"That was when I decided that I had to risk divorce because, to me, I was dead either way, but at least be wouldn't get the cbild1eo if he killed me."

"Obviously, you ore 1101 dead," I said. "So whal happened?"

" I go1 a restraining order against him so he couldn't set foot on the propeny where we were living-but he did try 10 run me over with his car: and he ran me off the road several times," she wd. " I had 10 move clear across the United States to sur· vive."
