The administration 100J: the decision to the board of truslet$, which voted during exccu1lve session to disband ~eC'uri1y.

"There was quite obit of dissention and mistrust within 1hc depanmenl. Th31 doesn't mean 1h~ ~urity employees were doing u bad job indh•idulllly; it just wasn't working out as a ICllm effort," Jurgens said.

0PIM0N•ED1TORIAL "An exchange of ideas for the edification of humankind."

Edited by Patricia Snyder

Friday. September 11 , 1992 Thinking is proof of existence and little else. The seeking of wisdom is the m1e essence of being and growing as a human.

Racism wears many faces in,..i., many places

l born ond r.iiscd in Hawaii. h is sometimes hard for p,:ople 10 under,mnd 1ha1 Hawuii "the p3tndise"' is an e~iremely preJudiced pince.

The "white" people did a 101 or dnmoge to Hawaii and to 1he people. While most resentment. o.nger and prejudice are undmtondoble.

11 1s hard 10 livens an outcast (like my parents and lhoir parents for generations before me).

To explain 'how it was' is dlrficuh. I can tell you how 11 felt . 10 not belong: to henr Christine LaBang ~nide and angry comments directed al me: to see Opinion disdainful looks. ge~1ures and words; to enter n room and feel the silence or ceased convmaiion. I re11 ugly, IW'gc, clumsy. re~ntful, angry and confu~ed. l knew thni I was different. I ~new that l wns "white," but I didn't know why I was so hated.

Hoving to prove my Innocence made me wise.

Hoving to prove my intelligence mode me smnn.

Having 10 prove my self wonh made me strong. Having to pro,·c my loyally mode me loving.

I fell mildly in love with a Filipino-Hawaiian boy (much 10 my parents' dismay and rcsc:n1men1) and mnrricd him. We had 1wo children, o boy and o girl. and they looked like beautiful Hawaiians. I WIIS so pleased because I thought l hod finally done the ul1lma1c and would be accepted. I had crossed nil barriers and borne children of 1he cuhure - but 10 no avail: I WIIS still a sm1nger in a Mranl,!e land. I WIIS ''while."

After four years of mlltriage. my hu~band died. I decided to leave Hawaii and go 10 "The Mainland," Whtre my brolhcrs and mother lived. There I was - in a "white" land, with "white" people and I WIIS "white." I thought lha1 maybe this was where I could be happy and IC(!eplcd. I forgot one lmponant foci. My children did not look 'while' and 1h01 people have the same problems with prejudice cverywhcrc.

In California. i1 wns the Me~icans. In California, my childrcn looked Muican.

People then didn't want to know anything different It made them uncomfonable. It came from ignorance toward the world. It came from parents instilling it in their childrcn. It came from groups h.11ins other groups for long-past ideas, thoughts, bad jud11mcn1s and pain. It came from fear of the unknown.

Security: more than a dustpan Security.

Security is walking across campus after a nighl class and not hnving 10 wonder if someone is wailing to :mock.

Security is going to sleep in a donn and nor having 10 worry nbout wnking to discover a thief or assailant.

Security is 1he college owning computers, televisions and other expensive educational aids and still owning them the nexl morning afler they have gone unattended and unused by teachers and students.

Security is knowing someone is keeping an eye on people and things. making sure they remain secure.

Al the beginning of the summer, NIC Security was 4isbanded and consolidated into the Grounds Dcponmcn1.

The move brings to mind a picture of janitors onncd with brooms anll weed whackers chasing down po1cn1ial thieves and a.ssailants. The thought of consolidation can leaving a lingering feeling or - well, o lack of security.

On second 1hough1, perhaps rhc move was nor so bad.

Janitors arc. ofter all, in all the buildings regularly. Al least. so the new rolls or toilet paper and the emptied trash cans would lcstify. Cenainly such regular and constant patrolling would deter a1 least some potential 1hicves.

Ey~ which don't miss a spot in the bathroom can surely spot anackers hidden in the bushes.

In rcali1y. the functioning of (the fonncr) NIC Security was noc all thut comfoning. Stolen equipment was a problem, ns well as (alleged) anac~s and rapes. With only one person on duty 01 night, security personnel were hardly in abundllnce, ond they did not even Cllll)' guns.

Compared to norhing, a weed whacker seems a fonnidable weapon indeed.

Of course, o cenoin uneasiness always remains in the back or the mind, knowing that 110 campus security dcpanmen1 exists. The concept of campus security personnel ''just a phone call away" is o powerful psychological comfon. Never mind that, while the officer on duty wns somewhere on campus, the rest of NIC lay unwatched.

Not so with the consolida1ion. No slllff were lost in !he transition, apan from the early retirement or fonner Security Head Don Phillips. If anything, the number of people looking out for 1hc campus has increastd.

This means !he campus community can rightly expect beuer sccuri1y.

The consolidation means more than mnking 1wo departments in10 one. It is a challenge to !he the people working in !he grounds/campus patrol and safety maintainence deportment to provide a place where people can walk across campus a1 night unafraid, c:111 go 10 sleep and dream easy dreams. can go 10 cl11SS and ~•ill use equipment 1hey used they day before.

The consolidn11on also requires a willingness among the campus commumty 10 work with 1he new nighttime guardians of campus security.

Security.

Hopefully now 111 NlC, security will be knowint? the only one mnking a clean getaway is the janitor at !he end or the shift.

S01ne earthy thoughts about soggy grass and the inevitable soggy butt Hoving spent ot lenst two "eeks on the beautiful green and plush NIC campu~ you have prob:bly noticed 1h01 we ~ave beautiful luwn~ whrre it 1s a definite challenge to find JUSt one blade of gm<-~ that is not completely green.

Sogg) bun Toof s what you gel when you do try to enjoy just a lillle of thut \\Ondcr of nature (and chemicals) up close · - because rhc ground is all wcr.

The first 1hing that you lL~k )Ourself after feeling 1he we1nc~s creep up 1hrough your trousers is.

"Did it rain corlierr Arter a moment of thought, and n look around, you ~nlizc thnt everything else is dry except for the pince you're sining.

"Oh (expletive). Am I sitting where someone took a leak?!"

No. (Well maybe. hut that's nor Alex Evans "hm I' m gening m.)

Pontifical ion I hnd no11ced this phenomenon the firs1 year that I attended this illuMnou< rnmrution. And ha\'ing 1he questioning mind that I do. I dccrdtd to in\t:srigntr thi< soggy occurrence.

I made many hypo1hc<e< that I will hst for you so 1h01 you have o bener understanding of my 1hought procc~<.

F11')t I though! that maybe the water table was very high here on campu<. l11u< waicr '\Oal.< up 10 the ,urfoce. and the lul.e being in <uch close pm.~1m11y suppom th1~.

Then, going "uh the natural occurrences. I dccid~d that we were l)<rched atop <ome ~on of giont 11eyscr that pu<hed w:ucr up \'Cl)' <IO\\ ly, and 1hc rc~on 1h01 it wn,n 't wann wru. ba"auw of thee, ,iporn11on ot thc surface lhat cooled 11.

My third conclusion wa~ that ~ome l.rnd of magnetic field would pull a ram cloud our of the sky ond make II min only where natural things grew.

About I:30 a.m. I wa.< astounded, and somewhat scared, by what I s:iw. A smolkr round piece popped out from what I hnd thought was the tachyon emmer und spewed fonh a torrent of wa1cr. If I had not moved a< quickly as I hod. 1hc spray would ha,·e gonen the rtSt of me as wet ns my butt.

I realized 1hcn that this was n strange conspiracy oesigned by college officials to waste warer nnd get pervencd thrills from Stting students with ~UY butts because who in 1heir ri11h1 mind would want to water~ much that s1udents can't enjoy some leisure time in the grass without feeling like chan(!in(! their pants.

British visionary artists discover 'The Cure

by Chris1opher Cloney St11tit1rl Rtportu

Dnrk. forboding and morbid equal~ Robert Smi1h and The Cure. This is one rcpu101 ion 1he Cure ha vc yc1 10 Ii ve-down bu1 is !his 1he real Cure? Cun there re~lly be such o 1hing as collcc1ive o.nd 10ml depression affcc1ing be1ween four and live Englishmen for more 1han 10 years while yeor aOcr year record sales sonr and dis:lffocled. hormonally imbnlonccd 1ecns slap down 1heir hard earned Valu10 for a 1icke1 or I-shirt or any Other produc1 ~porting Smi1h's brooding visage~ I don'11hink so.

They (the Cure) nre for all prnc1ical purpoM!S jus1 like anyone else. Aside from their fame. fortune and fnns lhe members of 1he Cure are your average !!Cl drunk. smoke cignrcile\, hnng around 1he pub, hove a good lime. Brilish l!uys. This is exactly 1hc quali1y 1h01 makes Picture Show work. h's the behind -1he-sccnes mood of1llis video 1hn1 rcully sc1s i1 ap11rt; 1h01 feeling of empa1hy 1h01 n per.-on gels watching wha1 goes into 1he making of a clip.

Behind 1hc holf-li1 faces and slow-mo black and whites are rcnl people. I'm sorry 10 be 1he one 10 say it bu1, contrJ!)' 10 some popular beliefs. Bob Smith is no11hc Sl-cond Coming. No, I'd say he·s more akin 10 n young Einstein- bu1 only because of the hair. The Cure seem~ less pre1cn1ious 1han mos1 bands: 1hcrc's just so Huie fokery and so much subsiance.

In one scene the bond is on the way 10 a shoo1. when in 1hc midst of a winier storm, 1heir van gets s1uck in a snowbank and 1hey end up pushing ii ou1 several limes. Dig deal? How many

people cun you 1hink of who pull down seven figures a ycur nnd shovel their own snow? These ore real people ,vho for lhe mosl pan nrc really ialented, visionary anis1~.

But con they play? The onsw.:r is. yes brillinn1ly. Fen1urcd as evidence ore a number of 1heir finest videos: nll ure a mdonge of sight und sound 1h01 ore o verifiable feos1 for the famished ~nses.

Mos1 notnble is the video for the song "Lullaby" fro1111he 19119 album Disin1cgrn1ion.

Inspired by Srni1h's childhood nighinmres. the Lullaby ,•ideo feniures such juicy 1hemes as Smith's 1r:msformn1ion from human 10 arachnid, ond II bed 1h01 seems more ravenous 1hnn pos1urcpcdic. Tim Pope. chc Curc5 long- time dlrec1or has. wi1h 1he collobora1ion of Smilh. truly weaved a film of Poc-csque preponion. ''Lullaby" is far from 1he only gem in 1his collection. 0 1her clips such as "Jus1 Like Heaven" and "Ne\'er Enoush" nre like "Lullaby" as no1cwonhy for 1heir ,•isunl dcp1h nnd qunli1y ns for their musical genius. And much is the some for the cn1ire film.

"He snys he loves me. If he loves me, lhcn why'does he hun me?" they often ask. The only jusiifiublc nnswcr in lhcir minds is 1ha1 they ore somehow at fault and deserve the punishment.

When they finlllly call for help, though. mnndoiory arrest laws pul their safety and protection above lhcir confusion nnd love for the abuser. They also respect and acknowledge 1.hnt oflcn-Occting spark of courage. which can dlsnppenr in a mere spill second. And women don't hove 10 lie or cxnggera1c 1heir s1ories in order to be offered the full prolcction they require.

Women should never have to lie in order to find protection from the violence. Mandatory arrest laws send women the messnge that, in 1he eyes of 1he law. their lives have meaning and value and lhnt their rights and their lives both deserve 10 be pro1cc1ed.

These women desperately need 10 know 1his message because, after they have been brutnliud by the men 1hey love, they lose any belief that their lives t1tc wonh anything n1 all.

And they don't always can: whe1her 1hey live or die. \

Textbook price discrepancy probed b) Knlhy. Hosteller Swf! Repo11tr

Students entering college after 12 ycar<i of u~ing taxpaid 1ex1books M' soon faced with reality of buying a college ICltbook.

AC'COrdine 10 the NIC bookstore. this semester ~O NIC dl!S5C$ .ue u;ing new t~Atbooks: 33 cl:i,;ses chnngcd books nnd sc,en :ire using a ne1V edition. Studen ts who wer? in thw 40 classes lost semester now hn,e n book 1hm probably will not sell. Student~ enrolled in those cla.<,.,ses 1hi, semester hnd 10 buy new copies instead of being able 10 buy n used book 01 a reduc~-d price. The cost of college textbooks ond the question of whether they need 10 be R,•ised as often as they do is n growing concern among students. Textbooks in the NIC lx>0ks1ore this seme,1er range from $2 .35 for n SJX.>ech handbook 10 a S75.35 engmeenng book.

Joyce Miuen, textbook buyer in I.he NIC bookstore. said sl1c understood; the student concerns about I.he cost of school book,. For every new book ordered by the instrucmr. she will try 10 locate used books of that edition whene,cr possible.

"Commumca11on is imponnnt in controlling bookstore cos1s:· Minco said. "If on in~1ruc1or ord~~ n book as being mandamry. we order accordingly. But we had o Mtuation where the ,1udcn1, wt'nt 10 cln,~ and the in~1ructor told them the book was no1 mnnd:uory.

Muny iMtructor) are also concerned nbout the ri ,ing co~t of textbooks.

"I!'~ my philosophy th1111hc textbook shou ldn' t e~cced the cost of tuition," ~aid education instructor Peggy Fcdcrit'c1. "I try 10 use less textbooks and reserve readings nt the library so the students n.-ceive more current infomrntion and they arc l!Cllini; it directly from the source rather 1han holV o 1cx1book might interpret it."

The speech depnr1mcn1 put 1opc1hcr its own speech handbook. They are nble 10 produce it and put the pnckngc on consignmem at the bookstore. saving the students the cost of another textbook.

The life science dcpnnmcnt has put together o similar package including a binder for oil biology labs which averages about $ 10. saving the .\tudents from buying published lab nrnnuals of up to ~34.65.

"Our lab manuals ore designed as 10 whnt we wam our students to lenrn and what we are capable of teaching," snid Bob Murray. chair of the life sciences depan ment.

"We can self-design our lab~ 10 utilize unique thing\ in our uren nnd also costs the student le\s. Why should a student pay for 50 exercises when we use only 12?"

Dale Triuen. math and s1a1is11cs instructor. said he feels that the new edition math books arc basically the some as pre"ious editions and that publishers just scmml>lc numl>cr, and problems so they can print a new ICXl.

"I bought a calculus lc;<lbook 25 year; apo for $8.95 and the equ1v:1lcn1 book today is $66.64: I don·11hinJ.. innntion hns been thnt high," ~aid Trill~n. "Mmh textbook~ don· , need 10 l>c rcvi~ed every few ycnl'\, they

can add :i supplement if necessnry. Everyone is out 10 make a dollar. For the good of the nation. tex tbooks should be more reasonable so everyone has o chance to go 10 college."

Dcnbc Clark. public services librarian. states she secs some ins1ruc10~ moving awoy from textbooks and use more resource-base learning. She stated lhe library does not invi!Sl in many textbooks because of the out-dated problem and then it becomes a legal problem for texts in nursing and fields that need current information.

Wilford Murray owns n book service in Spokane. He states most intro-type college lx,oks ore revised every 18-36 months. He stated the booJ.. problem is more in college level books rat her than upper di"ision and graduate level classes. Once books urc out-dated they hove li ulc or no "aluc. He said there arc programs 10 send ou1dn1ed tex ts 10 third world countries. but the freight often costs more than the book~ ore wonh and no one 10 pay it.

"What makes a S20 book turn into n 560 book." ,aid W. Murray. "arc things like wide margins. tucJ..mg the back of the book wi th in formntion they know i~ not needed and hard covers. In my opinion. if a book 1) perishable in two years, why do we hnvc to buy a hurd CO\'er?"

"Maybe the answer for the futurc is to go 10 n \OflCO\er bi nder le,'tbook lhnt mnkc\ it ea.,ier 10 carry, cosier 10 update with rcvi~cd pnj!C~ rather than bouk rcvi,iOn\, und saving student, and finnncial aid money·•
