Earlier !his year, the board of trustees approved $228,745 from 1he 1993 budget 10 be spenl on updating 1hc building in order 10 bring 11 up 10 current code regulations.

How do you feel about attending classes on the second floor of the Hedlund Building when it reopens? compiled by Mary Olivieri

by Patricio Snyder and Sherry Adki ns Senlinel Staff Concerns nbou1 1he safety of nnd response to the H~d lund Building hnvc resurfaced.

The building became the target of discussion ngain following the distribution of a "Fact Sheet" by sociology nnd educn1ion ins1ruc1or Peggy Federici, who tnughl on 1he second floor from August 1987 to December 1988 before talking a leave of absence to "get ou1 of the building," she said. The "Fuel Sheet" was an a1fcmpt to collect and summarize pcnincnt information, Federici said.

The second floor was closed in May of 1991 following concerns about the safely of the air and has remained emp1y pending resulls from investigations and testing 10 de1ermine if 1he building poses health risks.

According to welding ins1ruc1or Milt Turley, whose shop occupies space on !he bonom Ooor. nothing b wrong with !he building.

T he "fact S heet " crcntcd an inaccurate picture of the siiuo1ion.

Turley snid. The risk from exposure 10 poisons such as carbon monoxide is no greater in the building than 01hcr places. he said.

"They're (toxic subsmnces) present when you're dri,•ing down1own," he said. ''They're present when you're in a bar.''

Dean of Admini51rn1ion Rolly Jurgen~ compared the amount of carbon monoxide and paint thinner fumes in 1he building 10 that present in a home environment. However. he admiucd that the risks are higher in 1he building due to prolonged exposure and the level of c:xpo~ure.

"As long as the building was deemed sale, I would."

In spile of concerns expressed by "~upcr~ensi1ivc" people thnt fumes nre linked 10 hcnhh problems. alleged health concerns can'1 be 1raccd to the Hedlund Building, Turley said.

"Of course 1hcre's going 10 be smells in a vocatio nal building," he said.

"Whether they're killing anyone Is nnolhcr question."

Federici claims th at being in the building did damage her health. She ho s developed a sensi 1ivity to chemicals, she claims. For the flrsl time, she said, she fell compelled 10 request students no! wear deodorants and perfumes in her classroo m. she said. " I know that my hcallh has been compromised by bei ng in that building," she said. "I don'! want thni 10 happen 10 any students, staff. faculty or community member."

Federici said she isn't trying 10 stir up conuoversy.

"I would just like ever)•onc 10 become educated nbou1 this issue," she said. "I kepi waiting for the adminis1ra1ion to hold n meeting 10 let everybody know." When that didn't happen. she did research on her own.

A repair schedule for the building hus recently been designed to occommodote lab class time, Turley said, nnd the admini~rrotion passed on assurances to division chairs !hot the building would be teMcd and not reoccupied until ii was completely safe.

Hedlund concerns unaddressed Hnlf n world :1way. Somalians are brutJlly ravaging nnd murdering one another. allowing 1heir follow humans 10 s1arve IYhCn lhl'Y could prcvcm ii.

Bori, Yeltsin and th~ Russian Congress f:tcc off surroumlcd by an emoiionally and idcologkally ~plil public. each side becrying ii, own agenda and denouncing. not only 1hc ideas bul 1he right of cxi$1Cnce of 1hc 01hcr side.

On our cumpu~. 1he same lypc of inhumamty and connic1 breed~. Though 1hc rcsulis may be less global, 1he inju\lice is s1ill thc same.

Concern~ about 1hc Hedlund Building continue to boil in 1hc minds of campus community members. Whtie some 1rcmt>lc in the darkness of ignorance and fear. others blindly 1ru,11hc leJdersh,p of a human (and 1hcrcfore Oowed) ;1dmini~tra1ion. Neither siue walk~ 1he pnlh or pures1 wisdom.

No1 1hn1 the rel,ponsibi lity for reso!l•ing 1he si1ua1ion rests solely wilh the ndn11nis1ra1ion. They foc.:s 1heir own problems. People keep making 1hcm ou1 as 1he bad guys while they arc busy dealing with a ropidlr growing need for ~pace. a concern aboul ''fumes" which moy or may no1 be harmful, depending on which "ex pen" is listened 10. and the financial re.sponsibility which would mn.ke an accountant have nightmares, .

The adminis1n11ion has not been comple1ely remiss in

dealing wi1h the reoccurring issue of the Hedlund Building.

Howe,er. whi le Mep~ have been u1kcn 10 upgraue s1ruc1urol concerns. liule nnention hu~ been giwn 10 adllrcss campuswide infom1:11ionol 11nd p~ychologicul C(mccrn~.

The group from which the rcqucs1 would logic,1tly come. the College Senate, is considering delaying handling the si1ua1ion now because or pressure from 1he bourd of tru.slces to finish the long-awai1ed policy pro.:edur!.'.

Whal i~ wrong with 1hese prioriiies? Since when should policy come before people? !fas 1he campus re~ponded to the Hedlund si1ua1ion with concern and support for feelings and p,:rspec1ives? No! Instead. much of what has offored is insensi1ivi1y and closeminded selfish viewpoinls.

1l 1s one of mankind's grea1es1 glories 1hn1 he con reach out o hand in compromise and emp:nhy to his fellow man. fl is one of his greates1 sorrows when he doesn't.

The responsibilil)' for resolving this si1u1uion honestly. openly and fairly lies with bolh 1he ndminisl!at.ion and the College Sena1e. Both must reach oui o hand, however trembli.ng. 10 bridge the gap between human and humane.

Student blasts ASNIC tor irresponsibility

Still trying to find appropriate headline that pleases 'all the people all the time'

Edit1>r.

1\nother ASNIC member re,igns. and another ASNIC member resigns. nnd ... What is going on wi1h our elected orlicinl(? G,•cl)' umc I pick up a new nddi11on of lhc Sen1ind. I c~pcct to sec the above words.

What really gets me is thot after the election people alwnys tnll.. about how few studcnb voted, and I say no wonder nobody vote~ whl'n you can' t even expect the people you ore clc,ting to finish out their term Arc these the people who are representing us ns a school? What dO<.'S this $how the community? ll sho,,s ii that NIC's orficiuls ore not c1·en responsible enough lo fini~h the job they ore given.

I sure hope 1h01 I om being belier rep;c,emt'd in the Uni1ed Stutes government than I a111 here at NIC. Granted I'm sure there arc some really good reasons out 1hcre to resign. but for the most pan if you· re nm ready 10 accept the responsibilities of a real office, then don'1 run. Is tha1 a tough concept to grasp or what? Come on. people-let's 11e1 with the pro11rnm.

unless you arc planning to ,lap a headline bhtor.

Onr foully headline d,•servcs another. I with n paternity ~ui1. The hcadlin,, did n<1t s11pp(1st?. I refer to your chnractcrizntion or i11.flignti· or /m11e111 1hc ~1uden1. 10 employ Ken Wcs1f:lll's lcncr published in your Feb. two other commonly givcn synonyms for 26 issue, 10 wit: "faulty head line incites i11ri1r.

What you might have (aid is, "Fr111/1,1• student."

My quc5tion is. "incitl!S"' students 1/J du h1'adli11,· i11ct!11ses s111,Jc-111." or "Ft111/1.,· l,rad/1111' excit,•s .rnuh-111. •· although the Inner w/1111?

I concede 1h01 most dktion.1rics urcn'1 runs the risk of making Mr. Westfoll sou nd very hclpful in thi s ma11cr, offering llke a hl·ndlinc fo1hhis1.

Oh well I' ve hnd my little, mcnn-spirued synonyms such as rouse and pro 1·0~1•. which seem to work just fine in your headline. fun. incited, I suspect. by 100 many ~tudcnts However. in my multitudinous year., on this turning in work that they·,·e run through a planet I've never seen an inci1ed 1wr.rn11. software spell-checker. but haven't bothered Instead. I have seen headlines like the 10 run through a critknl intclligcnce ...or to following: run hy \Omconc with nn car tor the mother •King verdic1 incites L.A. violence tongue. someone like the editor ol a college •Protesters indicted for inciting ri,11s newspaper.

Pcdun1ic,11ly yours.

Oh, just bow-wow Eduor.

In response to Douglas W, Hullidny"nntivc." From your let1er to the Sentinel, I would agree that you ore n "backassward native North ldahoun." Howe ver. as a Californian. I cnn assure you that Californians in general don't think people from ldnho arc backward.

We rccogni:ic that anywhere you go in the United States you are going to find a 101 of cm.y behaviors. including provincialism.

Just ns dogs mnrk their territory nnd growl at invaders. so do wmc people. The only difference is tha1 dogs can ·1 write.

Column comparison biased against math Editor.

I just finished reading the Feb. 26 edition or the Sentinel and would like 10 comment on Justin Sntilh's article on ~1rcss in the clnssroom. I'm delighted 1ha1 the Sentmel is making un on-going 011cmp1 10 help Mudcnl~ learn ways to manage siress. However. I wont to take exception to one point in the w,lclc, the comparison of moth and Engli,h courses.

In no way do I want to deny tha1 Mudcntl. experience math anxict)', On the contrary. I try 10 find ways in my own rlnsses 10 help the students deal with the str~se~ that 1hcir previous experience with math mny have caused. However, I do feel 1h01 the comparison made in the nniclc is unfair.

Two of the three English coun.es cited are transferable to four-year schools and satisfy core requirements for A.A. or A.S. degrees here al NIC. Thus students lilnvc n fair amount of motivation and preparation 10 sustain them in the courses. Also. English 099 is the preparatory class intended to help students get ready for English 103 and 104.

On the other hand, none of 1he 1hrce math courses mentioned arc 1ran~fernblc 10 rour ycor schools. nor do they sntisfy core requirement, for 1\.A. or A.S. degree\ here nt NIC Thus there is much less mo1ivation 10 per~cvcrc when lliffkultie~ come. Al$O, they arc often the firs, math courses 1aken in muny ycnr~ for a goodly number of our Muden1s. nm~. they arc uutumaticnlly in the category of "~trc..:, produc~~".

I will ~ay thnt Mnth 101 i\ arguably close to English 099 in its in1cnt: ii is an immediate preparation for 1ransfc1T11blc math courses. Therefore. ir one wantl. 10 compurc courses, Mmh 101. 120 [and perhaps Math 1151 are the math cour..es which corre~pond in level, scope. nnd 1rnnsfcrab1lity to Engli~h 099. 103 nnd 104.

I hove no idea whnt the withdrawal rate i~ from these courses. but if comparisons are 10 be made. I would sugge\t 11\at we at least compare Jonathan apples to Delicious apples. rather than npplcs 10 oranges! Thank you very much.

Editor column's condescending, chastising tone unnecessary Edi1or.

I have been following the evolving opinion columns of Lori Vi\'ian. as she expresses her attitudes on love and sexuality in her creative (albeit, vulgar) way, with mild amusement. It seems 1h01 recently an undisclosed number of her renders incorrec1ly came 10 the conclusion 1h01 in her Valentine'$ Day column she was describing both her marriage. and (what seemed 10 be) a lesbian relaiioMhip with a Special friend.

This mhconceplion was evidently widespread enough to warrant o follow-up column in which she eitplamcd herself more thoroughly. She also cha~11~cd her readership

for foiling to grasp her intentions.

MorCO\'Cr, thi s is the same Lori Vivian To explain oneself more accurately when who wrote the edi1orinl in which she there has been a misunderstanding is defended hornose,unli1y in the military as admirable. but I object 10 the ad,•ersanal tone: just ORO!her valid lifestyle choice. If she and lecturing style 10 which s.he so often really believes that "there are no rule( or rcsons. 11 seems to me that commu~ication 1> tuboos;" why does she refer 10 o lesbiunles) a mancr or what is being said, and more lc(bian-husband threesome n\ being a matter of what is being heard. It is the "decadent?" responsibility of any writer or 5peaker 10 Unle~. or cour..e. I ~impl) misund.:Nood analyze their audience and de1ennine how to her again When ~he stud that "there are no most cffecti,•ely communict1tc idea~ tJboo, ..:· perhaps she wJ~ creJtivcly and Therefore. 11 is entire.ly inappropriute 10 chew ~killfully advoca1ing 1he opposi1e idea, 1.e. oul or condeM:endingly lecture u readership 1here ARE some vahd. trndt11onal rules of ir you !ind that you failed 10 communicate humnn behavior nnd decency. Mnybe there is effectively hope for her yet.

He put 11 away for safe-keeping not wanting someone to "walk off with the gold?''

Old you hear about the Livermore. Calif., project concerning a supergun capable of firing objects into space'? The project is being delayed because of n misfire. It seems a mas~i"e pressure buildup in the 155-foot gun ripped opnn one of 1he gun's joints ond splintered nuts and bolts. About S4 million has been spent 10 build this enormous air rine, called a "light gas gun." This contraption uses hydrogen compressed to an extremely high pressure to fire a projectile. Lab officials should add a little baking-soda to the mix. It takes a liltle potency out of the gas.

Well, if you've ever eaten n batch of home-baked bcnns you know what I mean!!

Contempt for Californians unjustified Editor.

This lc11er i& my attempt to explain 10 Idahoans how unjustifiable their contempt toward Catifominns is. rirsi. I would like 10 mcmion 1ha1 the only real natives in Idaho are 1he Native Americans.

The people who believe they are native Idahoans. that don't wont people from other pan~ of the country living here, arc free 10 appeal to Lhe govcmmcm for treaties and reservations 10 keep everyone else out, if they so desire.

Second of all, the Constitution grants every citi1.en the freedom of mobility (the right to move wherever they want).

Idahoans cannot tuke away lhis right from Califominns wiLhout iaking it away

from 1hcmsclvcs.

If some Idahoan~ arc no longer happy in Jduho they nre free 10 move elsewhere. Thirdly, every propenyowning Idahoan ha& greatly bencfitted from the innux of people from California nnd other states.

Those Idahoan~ who don't own property need to renli1e that Californians arc moving up here 10 get away from crime. not create it! Also.

Californians arc not trying to incrca~ the cost of li\'irtg for Idahoans. they 11re simply looking for a place where they con also afford to hve. If ,omc Idahoan~ con no longer afford to live 111 ldnhn, 1hcn they nre free to mn,e to a place where they can nffon.l 10 live.

Stealing deserves severe punishment Edi1or, I nm very angry tho1 ~o much stealing is going on nl NIC. I am not only miking nbou1 the VCRs thnt hnve disapp.:ared from various classroom~ in the pa~t few weeks before the spring hrenk, but nho about other personal belongings such as the bicycles in the dorms. I hope that the offenders wi II soon be caught. Regardless of who they are.

I hope 1hat they will be ~c,•ercl)• punished because there is no excuse for stealing anything! The stealing of VCRs not only imp3irs teaching, bu1 it violaies the s1uden1s' expectations.

I also wnnl 10 1ake exception to a stntemcnt in your nnicle rega.rding the thefts in 1hc Feb. 26 Sentinel. .. theft is to be expected considering the 3,000 or so

students nnd 400-500 faculty on campus!

Poppycock! Rcgnrdlcs~ of the amount of people in an area, thievery is not to be expec1ed! Arc we civilized or aren't we?

And by 1he way. 1herc might be 400-500 ~taff member~ a1 NIC bu1 nol fncully members! Someone should check the ngures! As for locking clnssroorns, most ins1ruc1ors do not hove keys to do so!

With all this going on, I really hope 1h01 everyone at NIC will be more alert nnd repon any misdoings to the proper parties. l wa~ wondering if we should not adopt the Islamic law which require~ that when a thief is caught, his/her hand is cut off! Would thnl deter the blokes who feel it is OK 10 take things that do not belong to them?

Orchestra performs Stravinsky 11

by Rochel Willi"nis Assism111 A&£ Edit(lr Arca residen1s. s1uden1~ and such were 1re31cd 10 an original and cxcellcnl perfomnnce by the North ldnho Symphony Orchestn1.

Thursday. March 4.

The orchcslfll performed 1wo major balle1s 1h01 w.:rc compo~ed by Russian composer Ivan Fyodorovich Stravinsky. ""The Story of a Soldier'" was an upbwl, cxci1ing tJlc of a soldier travelling home from 1he ~crvice. Laura Dickinson narra1cd 1he balle1. The soldiet was read by Frank Fletcher nnd 1he pan of the Devil was read by Steve Seablc.

A most fasci nating barrage of dancing accompanied the music throughout the piece.

The three dancers were dressed completely in black with a single scarf of either red, blue or green tied around 1heir righ1 arms. The scarves represented the three di rTercnt characters in the story. The dancers acted ou1the pans of the story as the music was performed.

The story begins as the soldier is tn1velling back 10 his hometown. his mother and riancc.

On the way. he is stopped by 1hc Devil. who wams 10 obtain 1he soldier's riddle. The Devil offers him n book in return for 1hc cherished riddle.

Arter much discussion, the two reach an ngrecmen1. The Devil will give the soldier the book and the 1wo will rc1um 10 1hc devi l's house where they can instruct each other upon how m u,e 1hc book and th~ riddle. The soldier accompanied the Devil 10 his house where ror 1hrce duys he was 1rcn1ed liken king.

The third day, the Devil took him on :i wild ride in the air back to 1hc pince where they lirst met Then the soldier <'Ontinucs on his way home. A most horrible 1hing. occur.. when the soldier reaches his hometown.

Nobody will speak 10 him. His own mother ,nc.ims nnd runs into her house and his rinnce I\ mumed to \Omeonc else! It is now tlml the wldier rcalizc~ 1hn1 1he Devil lied to him and he 11..t, no1 gone for thr•-c dn) <, hu1 three year..!

During all tills, the dunccr.. portmycd iln ab,lr.!Cl version of the Mory 1hrough carefully chor,'tlgr,1phed mow~ ,ts 1hc ~even-band orchcstnt lnvi~hly pla)ed the accompanying music thnt had n distinc1 Ru,si:111 sound to ii.

111c thrct• narrar.11or', piece, ro.,c in volume and pJcc a.~ the music ro~ 111 1c111po.

The soldier continued on. after another confront;nion with 1hc Dc,•il. lie w.ed the book 10 mukc gn:Jl richc;. but he "a, nOI happy nnd he longed for his old life bJck. He rc:11t1ed that though he hnd c,ery1hmg.. he had no1hing.. The ~oldier ,eeks in the book·for word.~ in~tructing him 10 happ,nc~. but hb !>Catch h in vain The Dc,il pays the ,oldtcr unothcr, 1~11 1l1i, time he is disgui,cd a~ un old woni.m Ile asl.~ 1hc ~oluicr if he "ill 1r-Jdc the hook for ~omething else. The Devil rnkcs ou11hc fiddl~.

The soldier 1akcs the fiddle, hut when he tric, 10 pla)' 11, no ~ound comes out. In cxu~pera1ion, the ~oldicr 1ltrO\\, the liddlc ocros, 1hc room and tcnr, the book into pieces.

The <old1cr n!alim, hi, hnppmcss will only

come ifhc gives up evcry1hing th~ book brough1 10 him. He leaves everything behind and trudges away from his hometown.

The soldier C\'C ntuo lly finds happiness when he saves a princess from her horrible sickness with his riddle ploying. TI1e Devil is temporarily defeated nncr the soldier forces him 10 dance and dance until he collapses from c~hnustion.

It almost seems ror a moment thnt the soldier's problems are comple1ely over and that his life will be perfect from now on. The Devil is angry and throws out a menacing threat to the soldier as he departs in defeat. ""No one can have it all, that is forbidden.

We must choose between 1hem," goes 1he frightening warning. "One happy thing is one happy thing. Two is as if ii had never been.''

One day, 1he princess tolks 1he soldier into taking her back 10 his hometown. The soldier thinks, ··Perhaps my mother will remember now." He rigurcd 1Jia1 his mo1her could mum to live with him and his bride, then he would really have it all.

The soldier foolishly disobeys the Devil's warning. He crosses 1hc border bnck into his old 1ifc. The Devil appears suddenly and laughs menacingly. The Devil rnkcs the riddle and begins to piny. The soldier has lost.

All the violin parts of the ballet were perfom1ed by Gerard Mn1hes. who did n fabulous job. 11,e pan was ex1remely difficuh nnd he e~ccu1ed the pan wonderfully. The music, dance moves and narration nowed well to crentc a very in1crcsting perfomiance. '1'he Story or a Soldier•· wns extremely original and refreshingly different.

111e second ballet wa$ 1he ··Fircbird Ballet."

The s1ory, aboUI n young prince. began wi1h haunting strains as the strings sinned ou1 the piece. I fell the sensation or crawling spiders ns 1hc violins played o slow, eerie tune that eventually grew more and more exciting.

Virginia TiMlcy-Johnson nurro1cs the ballet, 1clling the story of how Ivan capmrcs the bcau1iful fircbird. She begs 10 be lei free. and Ivan ICIS her go when she lcal'es him one of her riery plumes nnd n promise 10 come 10 his aid ir ever he needs i1. lvnn later enters the castle of 1hc evil King. Kas1chei and sees the 13 princesses dancing ns if inn 1rnnce.

When Kastchct tmters 1hc counyard. the music turns dmmn1ically harsher. denoting 1hc ugly rierccnc ~ of 1he evil king Ivon calls on the rircbird and ~he comes to his rcscue. lulling 1hc king 10 sleep with her b,:autiful music.fun ~he sho,\s h•nn 1he egg 1ha1 hold, 1he soul of Ka,1chc1. which he ~mashes to the ground. The evil cas1lc and its ~urroundings di~.,pp.:ar in a finale of triumphant mu,ic by the orches1r.1.

In all. a very gou<l per1onn.u1ce. Conduc1or Todd Snyder s:tid 1h111 he w,1~ happy" ith the pcrfomumce and tl'Ou!lh 111< .1ud1cnc..- \Cemed 10 enjoy the 1n1.:rc,,1tng "'S1ory of a Soldier," he Mill <"Ommcnl<'d thn1 nol all conC\'n, are for the audience $,)rn.:tirn~, "e play for th.: audiem.·.:."

Reawakening of a guitar god

by Mork A. Jerome Sports Editor Finally nn nlbum wonhy of comment other 11U1n Eric Clapton· s "Unplugged." ('vc been waiting for months!

This past winier there was a definite lack of qulllity music n.'Cordings being offered. But [ear no more, the draught 1s over with the long-awaited relea~e of Jimmy Page and David Coverdale's new album aptly entitled ''Coverdale/Page."

Preny catchy title huh? Of course the title mllkes zero difference when two rock icons like Page and Coverdale get together.

Page is legendary as the axeman and producer that played with the Yardbirds. the Firm and s1ancd one of music's greatest bands of all time in the mighty Led 2.eppclin. Coverdale staned out as the vocalist in Deep Purple and then went on to front his own band, Whitesnakc.

This album has been the subject of many rumors over the Inst three years. most of which were false. II has been said 1ha1 Guitar God Page has been trying to resurrect most of the original Led 2.eppclin with Coverdale tuking over the vocal chores frorn Robert Plant. Toe only pan of that rumor 11101 is true is 1hat. yes, Coverdale is the vocalist. Denny Cruma.\si, from Montrose and recently of Hean. plays drums nnd Jorge Casas is on bass.

Page is accustomed 10 working with the best vocalists. Plant in Zeppelin and Paul Rogers in the Firm. Definitely two of rock's best throalS. Pogc rcponedly tried 10 recruit Plant, but I'm afraid Bob's

100 busy being n ~olo star.

Coverdale. who has alway~ wnnted 10 be Plant. finally ha~ his chance and he comes through with nying colors hining some screaming notes that even Plant can't reach nnymore.

Don't get me wrong. No one can compare to Plant when he was in his prime, but Coverdale is still gening ii up.

On "Page/Coverdale" you get a mixture of Zcppclinesque stuff as well as a dose of Whitesnakc, but don't expect the resurgence of Lcd-2.eppclin. There will never be another Zeppelin.

It was a special thing that could only happen with those four individuals in 1h01 pince in time. II would be like building n brand new pyramid in Egypt; it just wouldn't be the same.

TI1e first release from the album is "Pride and Joy," a very interesting song that goes up, down and all around, which is a Po.ge lrodemark. Most Poge songs the average band could make into three or four. He plays an army of stringed inmumenlS on this cul. and ii is cla.\5ic Page. for all you grunge fans listen 10 "Whisper u Prayer For TI1c Dying," which stans out with hauntingly smooth vocals and then like n bomb dclonati ng Coverdale screams his balls off and Page

"Feeling Hot" is the most jamming cut on the album. h's straight forward kick-bun rock-n-roll, wluch both Page and Coverdole excel nl You get the best of both world~ with this album, ,md it's the best release of the ycnr ~o for.

Speaker offers parenting tips

by Brook ,\. Cunninghnm Stn1i11tl Rtpontr "Single Parenting" was the topic for the final Women·s Group meeting. Carol Haught, the director of the Cenier for the New Directions. spoke lo the women.

Haught has n background in counseling and was "legally"' a single! parent herself for six years. she said.

Haught feels she was a single parent much longer than that, she said. Haught is the mother of three children; her younges1 is 17.

Single parenting is very common these days and, according 10 Haught. is more preferable than a 1wo-paren1 family thn1 does 001 get along.

Single p:irentS face many obstacles such as a lower income, learning new skills and emotional breakdowns of themselves nnd/or their children. she said.

According to Haugh1. a single pareni family is much like nn understaffed business. All businesses haven mission

This spring was filled with four sessions pro1•idcd for the NIC Women's Group. Three of those sessiom, were a series on intimacy conducted by Eliz.,beth Mathes. licenk'<i professional counselor. The

"Parents in college arc modeling the imponance of educntion," she said.

According 10 Haught, a single parent has options to save himself or herself and the child from agony. Firs1. conserve energy; the fewer rules the bencr. Focus rules more on health and well being and considcra1ion for others. The fewer the rules. the fewer the bn1tlcs nnd power struggles. she said. The fewer the rules. the more consistency there is 10 enforce those rules. she said.

Communication with children is also very imponanl, Haught said.

College surveys communication

by Ryan Bronson Sentinel Raponu A survey of NIC employees hos been lnkcn on how eflicicm the communication process is and how effective information nows between the administration and the employees. according 10 Dean of College Rcl.ations Sieve Schenk. The survey was given 10 the ndminis1ra1ion, the fucully, the NIC Suppon s~rvices Organil3lion and the Professional Administrators Supervisor Staff.

Schenk explained why the questionnaire was given.

"It's always n good idea to take the pulse of the college s1nff," Schenk said.

"Communication is a large part o f this organization.''

The college is trying to get ihc employees more involved with the mechanics of the collcge·s decision making. ''Wc"ve had an all-employee meeting 1hn1 wa~n·1 a11cnded 100 well," Schenk soid.

"We"rc going 10 change lhe schedule or the meeting around so we can try 10 gel more employees involved," Schenk explained the proce~ involved in pulling out n survey of this magnitude.

"First. we had 10 determine what we wanted 10 know. Then, we had to make up the queMionnoirc. Next. we hod 10 administer 1hc survey 10 125 people, we hod 10 tabulntc the returns and then we had 10 anoly,c the 1nbuln1ion,:· Schenk said.

Schenk said that there wnsn'1 really any big surprises in the re~ults of the survey. He said he expected lhc NICSSO 10 have n little bil lower npprecin1ion of the com munica1ion nround the school because many or them are all around campus and basically don't have enough time 10 conce n1ra1e on th e communicating process on campus because of differcni shiftS. "Commun icn1ion is an area that is frequently criticized." Schenk said. "lt"s difficult 10 gc1 a good n!$ponsc, but in every category we had at least 50 percent approval and in most cases we had much higher approval than 1ha1. ··Jn large, I'm pleased with the n:sul1s," he said "We hod 80 percent response, which is remarkable when you consider 1h01 this was a mai l survey" The main purpose for 1hc .ill employee meeting~ is 10 increase commumcn1ion of 1he cmployeL·~ 10 their supen isors. Schenk described 1wo differen t basic kinds of cummunica1ion--1op-down and bouom-up commun1ca11on. Top-down commun1ca1ion i~ the communication from adminb1ra1ion 11nd supervisors down 10 the employees.

The Cat's Meow

by Ruchcl Williams Assistu111 /11s1nn1 C11/111rt· Editor Though most Mudcnt~ ho,en't henrd of her. she's p.111 of the ~mff at NIC. She has a grr:en staff parking pennit, 0838. but she doesn' I have ii in her car. This stnff member doesn·1 even have a car, so she wears her pennit around her neck.

Teo is the 9-year-old shop cat that lives in 1hc Grounds and Maintenance Building. Mcording 10 Mike Halpern, super"isor of grounds and custodial. and his sccrcrnry. Joelle Storey. Teo has wha1 can only be described ns an "a11i1ude." In fac1, the sign right above her special area reads. ''Teo says... Anitude Makes the Day:· Teo wa.s brought 10 N!C by Halpern in 1989 as "head mouser." The originnl head mouser was a cat named Millnrd. Millard was in service at NlC In 1986-87. Halpern said Millard died protecting the grounds shop from a stray dog. who chased her up a power pole where she was elec1roc.u1ed.

Both cats originally came from Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Millnrd worked as mouser in the Grounds and Hou~ekceping Department for Halpern. "here she was once elected Employee of 1he Month. When Halpern accepted a position at NIC, Millnrd moved along with him Teo mo,·ed also, bul she wns leading a life of kisure un1il Millard's tragic death. Then she was called into scf'\•ice as new head mouser. llalpern found Teo when she was just a ki11en. She was named after a Basque " nman who was a housekeeper a1 Saini Alphonsus. Since Halpern brought her here. he thinks tlint she prcuy much belongs 10 Grounds. ''Technically she does," Halpern said, "bu1 1don·1lhi11k I could pry her out or here anyway."

coumer in front of the parking pcrmil window where Storey works. She watches the people who come in 10 pay pnrking tickets. gc1 pcrn1i1s and so on. According 10 Storey, almost everyone who comes in lo"es the cat. The first thing most people do is pet Teo. Storey s.iid.

Halpern and Storey both agree 1h01 Teo's presence 31 thc window often hns a calming effect on people that come in upset over their parking tickets.

"Animals have a soothing effect on people 1hn1 arc upse1," Halpern said.

One ofTeo's most outstanding fcn1ures would be her tail.

"She has the most expressive tail," Storey said.

When she's sining on the ledge, her tail will often be curled around her. Even though it's curled 11icely around her feet, the tip orTe.o 's tail is always twitching.

S1orey said she some1imes can figure ou1 whnt Teo wants, but no1 always.

"Just when you think you've got her figured out, she reaches ou t and gets you," Storey said.

Teo exhibits quite an amount of affection for the people she spends time with. especially Storey and Kerry Deremiah. Teo always sleeps in the same place - right in Storey's chair. Every morning. Storey has 10 clean off the cot fur before she sits down 10 work.

During the workday, Teo wanders wherever she pleases. even if her path takes her direc1ly across Storcy' s computer keyboard.

Basically, Teo can always be found sining Stalely by 1he window. The recent addition of her pen11i1 around her neck officially makes the ledge her parking space. S111den1s and staff alike can go in and sec her any1ime. She loves people and loves the anention.

Calendar change proposed The Calendar Comminee has proposed n return 10 1he tmdhional semester calendar model ror the 1994-95 school year.

The tmdilionnl model. similar 10 that used in local public schools. hoq fall classes beginning in lnle Scplember and ending in late January and spring semester beginning in PcbruOJ')' and ending in early June.

As opposed 10 the current calendar, the trndhional system would be more in ham1ony with seasonal wca1her and provide for a bener working rela1ionship with community and business members. according 10 Chair Torn Flint.

Flint pointed out that the proposed calendar would splil finals dates O\'Cr a weekend, pu1 Spring Break in lhe spring and

tiiminnte the "finals frenzy'' 1ha1 results from students nnd instructors trying 10 get everything in before Christmos Vacation.

The commince is planning 10 survey the campus community on the proposal, he said.

Painting stolen from Boswell An art s1uden1 recently had a painting stolen from near her Boswell Hall classroom.

Wendy Smith believes 1he 18 by 24 inch oil was 1aken over Spring Break. Smith spent many hours finishing the work, which she planned 10 enter in Art on the Green.

"It was the first piece I'd felt I've done pcrfec1ly, you know, for me," she said.

"It kind of shocked me that someone would s1enl a piece or art." said fellow student Aaron Jones. "That's their heUrt and soul. You're taking their heart and so ul

away."

Gallery director and an instructor Allie Vogt said 1hc depanment will tnke steps to secure art, possibly with n locked gla.~ case.

The piece featured o cloy pot in the lcf1 cen1cr with vivid color surroundings mode of organic shapes. It hnd the quote "The mon who has no inner life is a slave 10 his surroundings" in the bonom right shape.

Anyone with inromintion on the painting can coll Smith's beeper number. 769·6017. or return the pain1ing 10 Boswell Holl.
