A formal training agreement between BSU's professional truckdriving program and major carriers in the western United States willallow students in the program to apply for Pcll Grants andGuaranteed Student (Stafford) Loans.

The formal training agreement includes an internship that stu-dents must finish with a participating motor carrier in order to com-

Commission advisesthe university toreduce adjunct

facultyJON WROTENStoff Writer

Boise State University has beenfully re-accredited for the next

five years.A IS-member team from the

Northwest Association of. Colleges

and Universities (N ACU) visitedBSU faculty, staff and students inmid-October and reponed theirfindings to the commission onDec. 9 in Seattle.

The team complimented the uni-versity for conducting a self-studyBSU prior to its visit, citing the three-year study as a comprehensive doc-ument for institutional planning.BSU President Charles Ruch said theself-study will be used as a model intraining other universities in theaccreditation process,

In its report, the NACU com-

mended BSU for the improve-ments it has made in its libraryand faculty research, both areas ofconcern during the last accrcdita-

tion visit in 1984.JoAnn Vahey, the chairperson

of BSlJ's accreditation review com-

mittee, was pleased with the uni-

versity-Wide support of the

accreditation process."From the beginning, everyone

was involved and everybody con-tributed.So it wasn't just one per-son's project, it was everybody's pro-ject. There was real interest as the

process went on. I've worked onthese before and in the past,landlit's not been [the same]" Vahey said.

The commission also recom-mended improvements, includingto continue needed emphasis onan educational assessment, toimplement and coordinate aneffective student advisement planand to work toward reducing thenumber of adjunct faculty.

The re-accreditation applies toall programs at the university upto the master's degree level. BoiseState's doctoral program in educa-tion, approved two years ago bythe State Board of Education,remained in informal candidatestatus. After the university gradu-ates its first class from the pro-gram, the university will be re-evaluated for accreditation at thedoctoral level.

Students who live in university housing may be eligible for credit

toward their January rent. In addition, students can earn $200 toward

their rent each time they refer a friend to university housing until Feb. 28.

Until now, students had to pay two full months' rent just to get into a

university apartment. Students renting large, three bedroom apartments

were hit pretty hard.

"We're changing our policy on deposits to make it easier ,for folks to

get into our apartments," says Richard McKinnon, director of Student

Residential Life (SLR).

"We decided it might be fairer and easier if folks only had to come

. up with $250 [for a security deposit]" McKinnon says.

Increased competition in housing coupled with the fact that BSV stu-

dents leave their apartments in good shape prompted SRL to adjust its

policy on security deposits, he says.Beginning jan. 1, security deposits for all university apartment units,

regardless of size or monthly rent, is $250. Residents who paid a deposit

greater than $250 may be eligible for a credit to their January 1995 rent

for the balance.In addition to

lowering the

deposit, SRL will

pay students in uni-

versny apartmerus$200 for referring

new tenants.

"This is a promo-

tion to.encourage

our current resi-

dents to find friends

and family members

who are students

and encourage them

to move into one of

our facilities,"

McKinnon says.

"We're trying to get

people on a list for

the new Village

Apartments."

The waiting list

for the University

Village Apartments,

now slated to open

in mid-March, is currently about half-filled, McKinnon says. Some on the

waiting list will be leaving other university units; so those will be avail-

able as well.To qualify for the 5200 credit, student residents must refer a new ten-

ant who signs a lease with SRL When the new tenant has occupied a

unit for three months, 5200 wili be credited to the referring student's

rental account.Students may contact Margo Jaynes at SRL to find out if they qualify

for a refund credit on their security deposit or to learn more about earn-

ing a $200 referral credit.Jaynes can be reached at 385-3988.

The university has been informed by theu.s. Anomey General's Offjeethat a formerBoise State employee, Tony Rodriguez, hasbeen marged with embenlement in a one-count indidment handed dawn by a federalgrand jury.

The alleged misappropriation occurred lastyear. After discrepancies were investigated byBSU's internal auditing stoff last spring, theuniversity turned the case over to Ihe U.S.Anorney General's Office.

Managing Editor

Student fee increases, expansion of the university and engineer-ing in Boise were among topics discussed by BSV President CharlesRuch in his spring semester address to faculty and staff on' Jan 10.

Ruch said he expected that in-state student fee increases willbe held to a very modest amount-about 5.4 percent-raising thefees for eight or more credits from 5938 to $988 per semester. This

'. action will keep fees hunkering just slightly below the mystical

$1,000 mark for at least one more year.Out-of-state tuition is another matter, however.The fees for students who are not Idaho residents are project-

ed to rise 373 percent, Ruch said. These increases will also impact

graduate student fees.Noting a fall head count of 15,099, Ruch said enrollment is

down slightly. lie said the drop in enrollment may be a result ofstudents opting to work instead, with the high cost of attendingcollege forcing some students to drop out.

Although the drop in enrollment could jeopardize the financialwell-being of the university if the trend continues, Ruch said thelull has allowed the university to catch its breath this year.

Ruch said he hopes enrollment will be right around 20,000 bythe turn of the century.

To handle present overcrowd-ing, the university plans to breakground on a new academic build-ing sometime this spring. The $7.4million for the building wasapproved by the 1994 Legislature.

Ruch's main requests of thisyear's Legislature involveexpanding the university.

In its capital budget request tothe Idaho Legislature, Boise Stateis asking for funds to expand theuniversity's branch campus inCanyon County. Ruch said he

requested 52 million dollars to remodclthe existing building at thebranch campus in Canyon County and an additional 53 million forland ucquisitlon in Canyon County. Ruch said the property wouldneed to be large enough to allow for growth, be accessible to stu-dents and be developed so that dollars would not be spent in dig-

ging septic systems, etc. The 55 million proposal has beenapproved by the Board and now rests on Gov. Phil Batt's desk.

BStJ is also looking to expand in engineering. The Board ofEducation and its engineering task force are currently working todetermine whether BStJ needs and can afford a full engineeringprogram. Presently, Ruch said Boise State is supplying 63 percentof engineering courses, including university core requirementsand lower-division engineering courses. After the first two years,students must transfer to the University of Idaho or elsewhere to

complete their degrees.Ruch said that a singly administered engineering program

would be less expensive than the current program administered

by both BStJ and VI.But it wouldn't be cheap, either."An engineering program would have a tremendous ripple

effect across the institution," Ruch said. University core classes and

other services would be stressed.Although an engineering program wouldn't exactly help the

university's overcrowding problem, the program is needed inBoise, Ruch said. He said the typical engineering student at BSU is

. tied to Boise because of job or family obligations. For these stu-dents, transferring to VI for the final two years. of the program is

not an attractive option.

"An engineer-ingprogramwould have atremendousripple effectacrosstheinstitution."

New academicrules willgreet studentsnext fallKATE NEIUY BELLManaging Editor

The Faculty Senate was busy last fallrevamping the university's academic rulesand regulations. BSU President Charles Ruchhas approved II changes that will affectstudenls.

The changes will go into elfed for the fall1995 semester if they are granted finolapproval by the State Board of Education.

Among the II proposols is a policy limitingto three the number of times a student can reg·isler for the same course. Also, the number oftimes a sludenl can withdraw from a class whileat BSU is capped at I O.

The policy stotes thaI students may registerfor any BSUclass no more than three times.But courses taken at other institulions will natcount toward the three.

The recent~-approved grade exClusion pol·icy will allow students to petition to hoveexcluded from their GPAany grades earned inone or two semeslers during which their GPAwas less than 2.0.

~-I' 1----.Republican wave soaks Idaho

When it comes totimber, Batt has no

room in his Idaho forIIpurists" delaying

the harvest.

The Republican wove has splashedacross the notion. Our governor and repre-sentatives are sworn in and Rushlimbaugh's dream has begun.

Phil Batt's inaugurationbrought thelirst State of theState address attempting toredefine politics in Idaho. He soid"the people are tired 01 govern-ment wasting time and money."

He went straight to the heartof environmental issues statingvoters "endorsed the wise multi-ple use of our natural resources."

He quickly addressed thesolman issue by saying "the vat·ers concluded thot they wont ourprecious water supply protectedand that we should Vigorouslyresist out 01 stole demands on it."

He then went on to speak 01 the "hugeopportunity" to salvage wood from burnedover oreos remaining olter this summer's fires.He doimed the problemow ore the "bureau-crots and the environmentolpurists going intotheir familiar litany 01delays."

We have a governor now placing theindustries of resource extroction at the center01 his world. He wonts wise use 01 fimber andwater. He wonts delays in extrornon stoppedto allow quick harvest 01 trees and he oppos-es draw downs to sove the solman.

He says we wont our water protected.Does this mean thot we wont the water

kept in reservoirs which will never supportonodromous fish? By protecting water, arewe holding if lor agriculture or ore we talkingabout dean flOWing, fish supporting intactwatersheds?

Governor Batt has rejected the planwhich took years to creale by downstream

interests. The Bonneville Power Administrofioncertainly hos not been on the salmon's side,but at least it is now willing to cut info theirprecious pralit margin.

Batt says he wants scienfificolly sound,proven acfion to regain fish stocks.

THE ARBITER WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1995 OP·ED 7

Thanks for the musicI just wanted to drop you and your staff a note saying that I

was in Boise this weekend and picked up a couple of copies ofThe Arbiter. The music/entertainment section was incredible.lIcre in North Idaho things arc not so great. I'm jealous becauseour college paper covers mainstream crap like Spin Doctors, IccCube, judy Bats and the likes. It's a sad state of affairs here.

The Vinyl Solutions column takes the cake. I dream aboutreading stuff like that. Mr. Sievers delivers some of the wiulestinsider commentary on the indie music scene around.

Well anyway if anything I just wanted to say thanks.

Haircut -- catharsisKEIKO TAKAGIStaff Columnist

Frustration is the motivation for change. Forme, the change is cutting my hair. When a poper isdue or finals week is coming soon, I normally bitethe end of a pencil. throw books against the wall,weor a loud outfit or make my hair shorter. Aherbeing in college for more than three years, my hairnow is short enough to hide with a baseball cop.

In my country, Japan, girls normally have longhair. This may be due to the remaining kimono tra·ditian or the fact that Japanese guys have a lovefor long-haired females. I don't know. During myteenage years I hod long, straight hair whichwould look like a condom from the bock, just likemy girlfriends. I liked this ordinary hair stylebecause my shiny, silky hair was envy of myfriends. Since I was born, few people have said.thaI I was good·looking but my long hair hodalways been the target of compliment. like onugly mother would brag of her handsome son, Iboosted of my beautiful hair. No other hair styleseemed to make me look belter. When my hairwas chopped off and refused to renect sunshine, Iwould have lost all my charms.

Long hair wasn't only a pretty ornament farme. It was also a shield which would protect mefrom the outside world. By reclining my face a littlebit down, my long hair would stream from my shou~ders and become the wall between me and otherpeople. When a teacher scolded me, I would storeat the tips of my shoes. It was not only becauselooking into one's eyes when he/she preached hodbeen a taboo in my culture but also because I feltsofer. Surrounded by 0 layer of my dark hair, I feltsofer as if I was in my mother's womb.

So altering hair style contains a kind of ritualmeaning for me. Chopping off my hair requilescouroge and change-for it means the loss of mycharm point and protection. But after surviving inthe foreign country for four years and sheddinghundreds of drops of tears, I have gained moreconfidence. My face didn't become very preltyafter all, but it acquired· a sart of attractiveness.Now I know that I am brave enough 10 expose myplain face. When frustration or disappointmentattacks me, I will not dive inlo the sea of myblock hair but strive to turn my face up to the sky.This is my challenge.

Look at me. I'm standing here on my ownfeet without holding my gorgeous shield.

Grade mandates, staff updatesPAT SCHMAUOHNEditor

Making the gradeIt was just another routine

work week for the adrninistra-

tion and faculty. After all, it is a

common activity. It happens

several times a year, You know,

that time of year when grades

are submitted, recorded on

stone tablets in the

Administration Building, fed

into a giant computer, spit out

of dot matrix printers onto

those familiar security-coded

blue and white grade report

sheets, and finally mailed. No

big deal, nothing' out of the

ordinary. Just another routine

chore. Like I said before, this

happens several times a year.

It's business as usual,"They were mailed Monday,"

the helpful registrar told me

when I called last Tuesday. con-cerned that maybe the universi-

ty didn't have my address. "If

you're local you should get them

today or Wednesday." The grade

report arrived at my apartment

Wednesday, exactly six days

before spring classes started.

That evening a friend was

concerned. It was less than ;1

week before the new semester

started and she was wringing

her hands, saying over and over,

"I want to sec my grades. I want

to see my grades. School starts

next Tuesday, I paid my fees for

next semester last week, but I

still don't know how Idid last

semester, which ended nearly a

month ago. Iwant to sec my

grades:' She was enrolled for

Spring '<n. but had had a tough

Fall "n She was worried about a

couple classes. She even feared

she might have to retake a par-

ticular course. But as of January

11, she still didn't know for sure.

She didn't think it was fair that

the university makes you pay

for the next semester before

telling you how you did in the

last one. Isaid I thought it was

intentional, that the university

wants to get your money first in

case your grades don't match

your expectations and you

decide to go somewhere else, or

just forget the whole crazy idea

of gelling a degree. "I want to

see my grades," she said, again. "I

want to see my grades."

And that got me to thinking.

This friend of mine had paid a

thousand bucks for a semester

of education and enlightenment.

In the course of earning her

bachelor's degree she'll spend

about $8,000 (that's just fees). To

the university, processing her

grades was just business as

usual. To her, the grades meant

everything. Iler plans hinged on

her grades. Her future was at

stake. For a thousand bucks, I

think she deserves a little bit

better service.

Ever-So-Many ChunksAs with pretty much everything in

the world around us, the ethnic situa-tion in the United States is not clear-cut,especially at this point in history. Itseems more and more that our countryis breaking off into ever-so-many cul-tural chunks.

"I think a lot of people questionwhether we indeed have a unifiedwhole," says Dr. Sandra Schackel, associ-ate history professor at BSU. "I thinkthat in the late-twentieth centuryAmerica looks like it's in pretty badshape to outsiders and to many insidersas well:

Schackel said ethnicity will becomeeven more important in the years tocome because demographers and oth-ers who study populations say theAnglo-Saxon group will be a minorityby the year 2050.

"The minorities together will consti-tute a fifty-one percent," she said.

Immigration is at its highest sincethe turn of the century. We are a coun-try in transition. frantically searchingfor answers.

"That speaks to a lot of change,which I think is causing tension still.You notice we talk a lot about racialtension now, and many people thoughtwe got that all settled in the '60s and'70s, but of course we didn't. Thirtyyears later the same problems arc caus-ing riots again: economic problems thathaven't been solved and ways in whichwe institutionalize racism-in schoolsandgovernment and so forth," Schackelsays.

There are no easy answers. And sowe take up the stick of metaphor andstab and swing in the dark, hoping we'llbust wide open the magical pinata thatcontains the reality of our situation.

The Melting Pot:A Promising Metaphor

The melting pot is not an accuratemetaphor to describe the United States,dang il! although it has time, traditionand popularity on its side. Arthur. M.Schlesinger,jr, in his book The

OK, do you remember this oneh ."Lovely Lady Liberty/With her book 01recipes/ And the finest one she'sgot/Great American Melting Pot'? Thisepisode disucssed the many differentethnic groups from different countriesthat make up the United States ofAmerica. Though they came from thesedifferent places, they were allAmerican. They all contributed to therich diversity of our country.

This message made sense to me. Althe time, my family was living in sub-urban Tacoma, Washington, one of themost ethnically diverse areas of thecountry. I took this ethnic diversity forgranted. .

It wasn't untll my family moved toFirth, Idaho-a small town (Pop. 424, Ibellevej-that 1 began 10 question themelting pot metaphor. Firth is over-whelmingly while. A melting IX)t isimpossible, unheard of.

Don't get me wrong, Firth-andIdaho in general-do have ethnicminorities; nevertheless, their numbersare pretty low. In a melting pot, theywould be almost imperceptible. And inFirth, at least, minorities were not seenas an asset to the community. True"they were good for moving pipe, butthat was about it. They kept to them-selves; we kept to ourselves. There waslittle opportunity for social interaction.

Firth got me to thinking. Is ourcountry really a melting pot?

Well, of course not, silly! Any fiveyear-old will tell you that. A killer hur-ricane can be described as a fiercedinosaur killing and devouring its prey,but everyone-even a chlld-sknowsthat the hurricane is not literally a terri-ble Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is ametaphor. So is the melting pot.

But why use a metaphor? Becausewe cannot find the words to describethe ethnic makeup of this country oth-erwise. We cannot explain how peopleem be both Americans and Irish andjapanese and Filipino and Mexican atthe same time. After all. a cat is a cat anda penguin is a penguin. An American isan American is an American. Right?

Well, not exactly.

Disuniting of America, traces themetaphor to a play, The Melting Pot,that opened in Washington. D,C in1908. At this time, people were immi-grating to the United Slates in recordnumbers-about a million a year. Thevolume alone was a strain to the coun-try, but cultural issues further compli-cated the matter.

"Prior to 1890 the immigrants GIllie

And then, in the I890s,19OOs, 19105, the immigrants carne inlarge numbers from southern Europe.They had dark hair, dark·skin, darkeyes, (they were) Catholic and Jewish-very different foods and customs andso forth.

ethnic diversity.Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock, mil-

lions of children-now Generation X-have this metaphor tucked away intheir brains.

"I graduated from high school in'76," sa ys Laura Delgado, a senior at 13SUmajoring in secondary education, "andit [the melting pot] was shoved downour throats as a good thing. So all theseyears I thought it was a good thing,growing up in high school and junior "high [in California], and it wasn't until"last year one of my BSU professorsbrought it to my auention that maybeit's not a good thing and made methink about it."

THE METAPHORIS A MYTH!

Ambiguity is the gre-atest disadvan-tage of the melting pot metaphor. Whogets melted? What are we melting?What do we get after we melt these

denies health care and education toille-gal immigrants. There is talk that anEnglish-only law is in the makings inCalifornia as well. And don't worry, ifthe Gingrich Congress gets its BalancedBudget Amendment, "everyone willtake a hit," says Will, and programsdirected at ethnic diversity-fundingbilingual education, services in otherlanguages-are sitting ducks. Even

Stephanie Will, an associate professor ofpolitical science who teaches classes onurban politics here at BSU, "theConstitution allows us freedom ofexpression, freedom of the press, free-dom of speech, allow us to live prettymuch as we like. Such rights make liv-ing in an ethnic neighborhood and read-ing an local, ethnic newspaper possible."

Such freedom allows people toexplore and celebrate their culture andheritage. And so if people wish to liveseparately from mainstream America,they have that right. If they want tolive in both worlds, they have thatright also.

On a more pragmatic level, the melt-ing pot docs not even come close todescribing the racial makeup of thiscountry.

"People come up to me and say,'When I look at you, [ don't see yourcolor," says Annette Knight, thePresident of BSU's Organlzation ofStudents of African Descent. "How canyou not, especially as dark as I am?"

In a true melting pot, we would allhave the same skin color, the samefacial structure, the same eye shape.floring, boring.

Suggestions Anyone?OK, if the United States isn't a melt-

ing pot, then what is it? Two differentmetaphors arose in the '60s to try tomore accurately describe Americansociety: salad bowl and stew pot,

In the "stew pot" metaphor, says Dr.Schackel, "you've got a broth, which isthe matrix, which would be the domi-nant culture, and then you've gotchunks of groups that are still visible,like lin a stew} you GIO still see thepotatoes, and the carrots and the meal.You can see all of these dffferenr-pieces. It's supposedly the broth thatbrings them all together, that Americansense of who we are, which is so elu-sive, that pulls it all together and makesit a satisfying meal.

"The same with the salad bowl: dif-ferent pieces of salad, greens land soforth] and the dressing combines it, Thedressing is supposed to be the basis ofAmerican culture, the things that bindus together as Americans."

The Best of Times,The Worst of TimesIt appears that Americans today arc

more tolerant of cultural and ethnicdifferences than their grandparents andgreat-grandparents were when IsraelZangwill wrote The Melting-Pol.

Veronica Herkshan, Vice-Presidentof flSU's Native American StudentAssociation, believes that this tolerancecomes from recognizing diversity andhaving a better understanding of thebeliefs of others.

"It is these distinct differences thatmakes us unique from other nations.Being considerate and aware makes usstronger."

However, in the midst of thisgreater education and tolerance ofdiversity, there is fear of change.Immigration is once again at recordnumbers, and these new immigrantsare coming from different regions ofthe world: Latin America and Asia.This influx has brought tension simi-lar to that at the beginning of thecentury.

In California, a state feeling thesocio-economic and cultural strain ofimmigration, voters in Novemberpassed Proposition 187, an initiative that

------------...:..------------..,..---...COVER 9things together? Perhaps Mr. langwillsaw races and ethnic heritage as nega-tive elements much in need of a goodmelting. But did he feel that the white,Anglo culture should be melted aswell? Logic would seem to dictate thatNorthwest European-Americans would

go into the pot along witheveryone else. WhetherZangwill felt that Anglo-Americans were exempt isuncle-ar, However, historicalevents indicate that whiteProtestant America thought oth-erwise.

"It was all right to take onMexican food and japanese foodand]ewish humor and blackmusic," says Dr. Schackcl. "I thinkthe dominant culture did acceptthat, but never to the exclusionof their own white, Americantraits, whatever those are.

The great number of peoplethat came into the country thefirst decade of the centurycaused stress on the Americanculture, Schackcl says. One ofthe natural reactions was tomaintain and strengthen the sta-tus quo.

"There was probably a limit-ed amount of acceptance, unlessthese people 'worked them-selves up' the way, supposedly,every native-born Americancould do. If you could workyour way up the ladder, then itdidn't mailer where you camefrorn.,

"It was that 'survival of theIiuest,' which was also a popularsocial theory at the time. SocialDarwinism," Schackel continues."When I talk to my classes aboutthat, I ask them if this soundsfamiliar and they almost alwaysagree. It's still a notion that's stillout there. [I' you've got the tal-ent, and in this day and age, themoney, to make it, then youdeserve it,"

When the United States.entered World War I, the melt-ing pot was used by govern-ment officials to stir up suspi-cion of German·Americans andothers. Woodrow Wilson said:"You cannot become thoroughAmericans if you think of your-selves in groups. America doesnot consist of groups. A manwho thinks of himself asbelonging to a particular nation-

al group in America has not yetbecome American,'

While most Anglo Americans don'tfeel this harshly about other ethnicgroups, they do expect a certainamount of conformity with and assimi-lation into the white culture. The endresult is not a melting because two peo-ple with the same cultural values andbeliefs arc not created in this process.More accurately, you end up with abicultural person on one hand and aperson who now knows of a newrestaurant to go to on the other.

So here it is, point blank: The melt-ing pot is a myth! It assumes that peo-ple want to be melted, that they wantto give up their language, their culture,their heritage. Such is not the case.During Israel langwill's time, as well astoday, immigrants lived in ethnic neigh-borhoods-worlds apart from main-

stream America."Though we often wish we could

make everyone the same," So1YS Dr.

REND A PAL M' ERA N D E R I K PAY N E I S

I n kJENNIFER SCHLENDER

Visual Arts Editor

The artists behind the vision of Inkvision Gallery,Renda Palmer and Erik Payne, have created a space fortalented, mostly younger artists to present their work.

"Young, different perceptions of culture andlifestyle-that's what we \....ant to sec here," said Palmer.

lnkvision Gallery, located at 1708 Main Street, had itsgrand opening in December. Palmer and Payne present-ed their work in conjunction with John McMahon, alocal artist and longtime friend of Payne. Their pre·miere is on display through January.

"Erik knows what kind or work I do, and he Icu mypieces would fit in with their style. It was a very nicething for Erik and Renda to ask me 10 be In this show,"said McMahon.

The three artists complement each other well. Thepieces in Palmer's display are done in graphite andcharcoal. Payne's focus lies in graphite except for oneacrylic painting, and McMahon's medium is in watercol-or and acrylic paint. McMahon's paintings, such as thepieces titled "Red Lipstick" and "Amplifiers," are intre-pidly done on huge canvases. These, along with two ofPalmer's pieces, "Shroud" and "Hidden," and Payne'spiece title "God Bless America" are indicative of theintensity of this ttrsr Inkvision show. The galleryalready carries a unique artistic atmosphere.

Payne's tattoo shop is in the room behind the gallery.Customers pass the artwork on their way for somesweet pain at the hands of Dr. Payne, who stored artwork in front of his previous tattoo parlor on Fairview.The art lay scattered about the front room, as Paynewasn't motivated to pull it together into a display.

"Renda's a lot more motivated than I am," said Payne.Palmer has been helping Payne with the business

aspect of his tattooing for the last two years. Now she isbasically responsible for the gallery, while Payne docs thetattooing, an arrangement between Payne and Palmer tomake both the tattoo business and the gallery work.

The gallery is non-profit, with a 10 percent commis-sion from any sale kept in the gallery to cover expenses.The typical sales commission for galleries is 50 percent.

As McMahon explained, the lnkvision commissionrepresents a remarkable difference. While artists pay forsomeone to sell their work in more formal gallery set-tings, Inkvision is solely a display space, and the rea-turcd artists are able to take home 90 percent of the saleprice instead of the 50 percent. 11' artists can he theirown marketing agl'nts, they can make more money andsell their work to the public 1'01' a more reasonahk' price.

Palmer explained that Boise isn't a big market fororiginal artwork. People buy a lot of posters ancl prints.Recently, though, several new galleries have openedaround town. A stroll through the galleries isn't over in

two hours anymore.A paruculurly dist'ouLlging phenomenon occurs all

"There arc IOn m:Il1Y possibililll'S herl' to move:' said

Payne, "An artist can go somewhere where the thingthey do is more acceptable, but then 100 people aredoing it instead of just one."

Breaking into metropolitan markets with a gallery isextremely difficult. fly staying in Boise, Payne andPalmer can remain self-employed,

The tauoo shop pays the rent, and so Ink visionGallery doesn't have to worry about selling anythingIor profit. The money made from the art can go backinto the costs or other art shows,

Ink vision will present single-artist shows instead orgroup collections. It's not always easy to find artistswith enough work to comprise an entire show becauseframing artwork is expensive, and many artists onlyhaw a collection or loose paintings ancl drawings, said

Palmer."We'd like to see Ink vision become an active part of

the cultural scene," said Payne and Palmer.Inkvision shows will hopefully be upbeat gather-

. ings, instead of a bunch of snotty people standingaround talking about who slept with whom, said Payne,1-1c~1:lhonhintcdth.u the February show will havesomething to do with Valentine's Day boxes,

Friday Night's Boyby R. Patrick Benedetti III

"May tbe table sal before tbem become a snare;may it become retribution and a trap.

May tbeir ~}'asbe darkened so they cannot sec,and their backs be bent forerer.'

Psalm 69: 22-23

Leaving tracks in the snow, you know they'llbe ice by tomorrow, and the crunch in the pilebehind you is a sure sign he follows you home.

Catching up, a streetlight flashes his glasses,sends the spectrum to your veins, filling youwith summer walking woods away - he is

beautiful, more than this bleak surroundingpurity, and coughs to let you know to hurry,quicken your step, it's damn cold out here.

When you get home, the place lights up onCUC, before even close to your door they come'conveniently for peeks out their windows

like it's the first time he's here, like he's Fridaynight's boy, like there's money to spend, atransaction at the end of the crumpled bed.

Tonight they have left more scripture fadedJesus paper on your door - you've complainedabout it before - and you snatch it before he can

see the kind forgiving face of their god whoprotects them from the wrong men (heartspoisoned by demons and need-to-be-saved

sad excuses for human and let's-join-in-prayerthat they'll change). But you can't melt In thiswinter and you shield, his eyes from their fire.

Much later, cradled in his arms, you can't helpbut remember the Sunday Easter Baptist chantof years ago: "lie has risen. He has risen indeed."

R. Patrick Benedetti III is currently working on his master's degree in English atBSU. Originally from Weymouth, Massachusetts, he received his bachelor's of artsdegree in English from Suffolk University in Boston. Pat is Assistant Editor of TheRectangle, the journal of Sigma Tau Delta (a natjonal English honors society).

scene, as we turn each page, we come to knowhow these women bec-ame the women they arc."

refuses, the grandmother asks, "Why are you SO

afraid to make history?"" The young girl, played by Cherisan Davis,

school career entering spelling bees."Eleemosynary" opened Friday, january 13 at

NewYear's resolutions.. . Sorry excuses for gelling

around to things thathave been put off for anentireyear. Stop smoking, lose weight,better personal finance-usuallypersonal, truly American in nature.

These standards are good forsome, but not when you have thepeak spirit.

My new year resolution is toski more!

This is like being a pack-a-daychain smoker and resolving for thenew year to smoke another pack aday. Unlike smoking, however, ski-ing is good for the lungs as well asthe soul, for the transcendentalmoment as well as a smile thatstays from one ear to the otheruntil the next turn session.

The trade off for thenicotinehabit is health. The trade off forskiing is often stress, in its somany forms. This year it hadanother trade off, a subtle one at that.

The trade off-to sacrifice New Year Eve's normalsocial!drunken/frenzy (barely made it to midnight) toenjoy a three day celebration of the new year"'jirllie backcountry. Tough trade off

The live band was out, and the mixed drinks gone, at leastfor the moment.' Instead, eleven skiers (generation something,maybe X, maybe Swine) in a wall tent above 8,000fcct.

The destination, Tornak Hut located in the SmokyMountains, Sawtooth National Forest. Tornak, the spirit ofthe mountains from the language of the people of thesnow or Eskimo, is one of the several Sun Valley Hut'soperated by Sun Valley Trekking. Others in the area

The trade off-to sacrifice New YearEve's normal social/drunken/frenzy(barely made it to midnight) to enjoy athree day celebration of the new year inthe back country. Tough trade off.

Four miles and roughly 1500vertical feet from EasleyHot Springs takes skiers to the front porch/snow field ofTornak Hut. The new ye-arhad blessed our party of five'gals and six guys (or even better, a pride of four lions andpack of six wolves as it would turn out to be) with a foot

include Boulder Yurt and Coyote Yurt, in addition to twoothers operated by the Galena Lodge to the north. .

The Smoky Mountains stand among an impressive line upof peers. The Boulders to the east-northeast with severalpeaks above 11,000 feet. The Pioneers to the southeast withTIle Devils Bedstead 10,750feet of grandeur standing in theshadow of Hyndman Peak's 12,009foot north buttress, onlyaccessed by heli-skiers in thewinter. And completing the awe-some line up to the west, ncrihwest with the Sawtooth Range,

of fresil light null on top of a solid base of threefeel. And the Sun Valley was living up to its namewith clear sunny skies and visibility extending to

all Smoky Mountain peersThe wet snow had yet to fall over Idaho, so

avalanche danger was nominal with moderateadvisories given to only northeast facing slopes

All but one of the lions and all of the wolvesmade it into the hut as night approached NewYear's Day. Two of us had already stoked thestoves in the hut and had made our first turns ofthe new year as the last golden light left EasleyPeak's granite summit and the stars took hold ofthe night.

Sun blessed four of us the next day as weskied about 10, 000 vertical feet witll our skins

being the only ticket back to the top of the mountain.Tornak sits among an endless amount of back country'skier paradise including Coyote Spur, Humpy WhalePeak, East Fork Spur, Boulder Spur and many unnamed

slopes.Nights were filled with incredible meals-you always eat

better in the back country-and quality wine, micro and.home brews, and the mandatory boulets) of Jim Beam. Aguitar is kept at Tornak and we fortunately had a string

picker among us that was able to offer a foundation to thesinging, rhetoric, laughter and solitude of two nights. We'were also blessed with a sauna that was used in trueEskimo fashion each night with temperatures hot enough tocleanse even the most clogged minds and pores.

With the powder as fresh as it was we were unable toleave the skiing to just the day light hours. Under starrylight and moderate temperature we spoiled ourselves withfour runs down an untracked bowl discovered by twoadventurous wolves in our party. I lead lamps lead theway-two bright pctzls and one forest service mandarinorange. It's called a mandarin orange because of the orangedot pressed onto the snow. It did, however. lead our waythrough trees and magical turns.

Skiing at night can give you a better sense of the moun-tain you're skiing. When vision is at a minimum all othersenses take over for true harmony with skis, mountain,friends and snow. When the empirical is sacrificed the spirit

, of the mountain fills in.We did discover a four point elk picked clean at the

base of the drainage we skied at night. All of the tracksaround (including the ones discovered fresh the nextmorning) were feline. t:> big feline at that (cougar, moun-tain lioni'),Cats are nocturnal hunters, aren't they? If theyare we didn't see the sparkle of their eyes, possibly severalsets of eyes. We did, however, see the tracks cut into thehillside above the elk leaving playful holes pounced intothe snow. If it was a single cat it was very ambitious. If it,was a family we were fortunate not to have run intomama-feline.

The last day was highlighted by a tde-360 pulled fromthe top cornice of Tornak Peak. All twenty feet of air wasGreg Stump worthy, but who the hell needs Stump when'you're in the back country?

Skiing and linking turns on tele-boards with 60 pluspound packs on the way out-steep, with the best wrecksof the year-was the final thread to the blanket of glorythat kept us warm whife temperatures dipped to 35 belowin Stanley.

I think this New Year's resolution stuff is going to be easy.

rude optimism for the disharmoniousRUSS WOOLSEYOutdoor Editor

Grounded, Destined to gaze upon skiers andboarders, trees and snow from an awkward windowseal while the healing process subdues my injuries.

This isn't the place for someone who has an inti-mate relationship with ski, mistress of snow, lover of

the natural high-unless the mountain fights back.All one l~1Odo when the body is in dismay, is to

figure out Why?Harmony is essential for a natural and competitive

chance at life. Not the harmonics that have becomethe icon of the generation we know as X: Though,these harmonics such as Rage Against the Machine,Nirvana, Chains (yes Alice), Pearl Jam and all of theother numerous bands, pop or not, punk or rock, dohave their place in life.

No. the harmony I deal with, r.s a pan of this

I .. labeled generation, is the cohesion that exists within( ..

three main elements of this delusion we call life-themind. the body and the spirit.

When these three elements come together in har-monya healthy and vibrant soul exists. But whenthis cohesion suffers an interruption, by depression(i.e, the mind), a bad trip or unexplainable loss (i.e,the spirit) or an illness or physical impairrnent (i.e, thelxxly) then health is being displaced. All turmoil, hap-piness included, can be placed somewhere in this cat-egorical depiction of life.

Displaced health has to eventually return to itsnormal and proper place-unless, of course one is des-tined to be in an unnatural balance throughout life.

Nobody should accept this burden, even if they mustendure it for life. To be conscious of this lack of har-mony is the first step on the way back up the moun-tain, to again gaze down fresh fields of powder.

So if a body has been injured or the mind sent intoa fit of turmoil, strive to get back the harmony bylending the self to the remaining clcmcnus) of life.

If it is a spell of depression, strive for the rhythmand spirit while using the body to obtain the natural

high.If it is a lack of spirit, try rationalizing the situation

while high on adrenaline.If it is a physical malignity, rationalize while play-

ing a drum to the tunc of the spirit of life. Confidencein the spirit is essential when an injury occurs whilemaking turns-when the mountain fights back.

Broncos•win two,

lose keyplayerSCOTT SAMPLESSports Editor

There was good news and bad newsfor the BSU men's basketball team in lastweekend's Big Sky Conference openers.

The good news was the Broncos (11-2

overall, 2-0 Big Sky Conference) wontheir first two conference games, both onthe road.

The bad news was they lost anotherplayer to a knee injury. This time it wasguard Damon Archibald, who tore a liga-ment in his right knee in BSU's76-56 winover Eastern Washington Friday night.

So Archibald, who will likely be out amonth or more, sat the bench while histeam slipped past Idaho 79-74. He is thelatest casualty of BSUplayers, joining a listthat includes Steve Shepherd and BernardWalker, who may play this weekend.

"When you look at our bench and yousec Steve Shepherd, Bernard Walker, andDamon Archibald in street clothes, .. saidBSU head coach Bobby Dye in a tclcvl-sian interview after the Idaho win. "Idon't think people realize how importantthese guys arc to us."

l3utthe loss of Archibald did show-thecapabilities of the Broncos' bench playersespecially in Saturday'S win.

However, there wasn't much depthavailable-BSU only uS<.'<:1seven players inthe game.

Josh Folsom, a true freshman whotook Archibald's spot in the lineup,stepped in to help BStJ's cause, scoring 17points, nine of which came on 3-pointers.Sherman Morris hit for 17 as well, includ-

ing a pair of treys."I'm just really proud of our guys," Dye

said. "I thought that was a real gut check."Morris was a standout for the Broncos.

The senior from Chicago, who was ineli-gible to play last year for academic rea-sons, had a huge series.

He led BSU in scoring with 22 pointsagainst Eastern, and tied for the team leadin rebounds with eight.

The BSU women's basketball team sent amessage to the rest of the Big Sky Conference

last weekend with a pair of wins to open itsconference season.

That message was pretty simple: Don'tcount us out,

Boise State, a young squad that has beenhave been hounded by injuries to key play-ers-including its only senior, point guardTricla Bader-started its conference play witha 67-54 thumping of Eastern Washington onFriday and a 73-52rout of Idaho on Saturday.

"This way we can show them what we'recapable of, not that we're just a bunch offreshman," said BSU Iorward Michelle Smith,a freshman herself.

The Eagles and the Vandals seemed to gelthe message. Both teams stayed with theBroncos for short periods of time beforeBSIJ's tenacious defense turned up the pres-sure, allowing the Broncos to pull away.

"1 think good defense leads to goodoffense," said BSLJforward Lora Loveall,whohas been a key ingredient to the Broncos' (S-6overall, 2-0 Big Sky) early success. "Whenyou're shutting things down inside, it opensthings up for our guards."

Boise State shut things down well in bothgames. The Broncos allowed their weekendopponents to under 55 points in both games,while holding them to under 36 percentshooting from the field.

Against Idaho the Broncos' inside playerswere a force, blocking a total of 11 shots,breaking a school record. Smith tied the teamrecord for individual blocked shots withseven, six of which came in the first half.

The Bronco offense continued 10 llow as

Trackleams do well in openerSchool hadn't quite started yet, but the

BSU indoor track and field teams opened uptheir seasons last Saturday.

The Broncos put together a good show-ing at the Snake River Open in Pocatello,with five BStJ men winning events, and twowomen taking first place in events.

The men's squad did especially well inthe non-team scoring meet. Carlos Alburytook the long jump with a leap of 24 feet, 41/2 inches. Jon DeBerry took first in the high

event this weekend with a leap of 40-5 3/4.Stephanie Rasco shined as well, winning thelong jump at 20 1/2, and placing second inthe 2OD-meterwith a time of 25.38seconds.

Boise State, the defending Big SkyConference champions for both the men'sand women's teams, return four indoorchampions from last year: Jon DeBerry, highjump; Tom Roorda, 3,000 and S,OOO-meter' , ...

runs; Abigail Ferguson, triple jump; ToshaBailey, 55·meter hurdles.

Walter Reed paced the field in the 200·meter with a time of 22.21seconds. Jon Ryanfinished off the BSU wins in the SOD-meterwith a time of 1:56.

rity somehow made it to the Division I·AAchampionship game mainly on guts, heart,and a little bit of magic late in the game.

Sound like a familiar story? I'm sure theChargers could identify with it.

Nobody figured they would get pastMiami, but they did. Pittsburgh was going toeat them up-and did for awhile. In the end,the Bolts stole another won and are headedfor the title game.

Boise State was dominated in the cham-pionships. Most say the Chargers will be too.Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

But for all of us who hate Dallas (andthere's a lot us), we're just glad it won't be atthe hands of the Cowboys.

watching it on TV with the rest of America .this year.

The thing is, most people are sayingthere really doesn't need to be a Super Bowlnow. A lot of folks are saying the Niners-Cowboys game determined all that. Justhand San Francisco that Lombardi Trophyand Steve Young the MVP award, and let'sget ready for the NBAplayoffs.

But fans of Boise State football ought tosee some similarities between their Broncosand this team from sunny San Diego.

The Broncos, a team that was supposed-ly not talented enough to win the Big SkyConference, didn't have the players to win aplayoff game, and was destined for rnedloc-

For the first time in years lcan finallyenjoy a Super Bowl.

For the first time in a long time, therewill be no more Buffalo Bills,no moreDenver Broncos, and-thank God!-no moreDallas Cowboys to ruin my enjoyment ofSuper Sunday.

Finally, two teams who I not only don'thate, but actually sort of like, will be play-ing each other head to head in the big game.Until now Ihad more fun rooting for BudLite in the Bud Bowl than I did in watching

Buffalo get the bejeezus knocked out ofthem. .

Plus, as a lifelong Cowboy hater, watch-ing Dallas win two years in a row made mewant to puke up all the junk food I forceinto myself each Super Bowl holiday.

That's why I watched with glee as SanDiego seemingly will its way past a stunnedPittsburgh team..And that's why I almostwet myself when San Francisco thumpedDallas to end their reign as NFCchampions.

America's Team? Probably not. But nomatter what, the funny thlng is, they'll be

Overall, BSU head coach JuneDaugherty said she was pleasedwith the way her team startedoff the Big Sky season

"As defending conferencechampions, we really talked a lotabout coming out tough the firstcouple games," she said.

Perhaps just as importantly,the Broncos have proven that

despite being youthful, this teamhas potential.

"I think the young kids knowthey were a highly talked aboutrecruiting class and that peoplewere saying, Well, Bader's out,but look out because they're stilla talented group," Daugherty saidLoveall,one of those newcomers, ~agrees. ~

Gymnasts readyfor new seasonJON WROTEN

The Boise State gymnasts are

off and flipping.The 24th-ranked Broncos began

their 1995 season with an exhibi-tion last Saturday in Bronco Gym.BSU head coach Yvonne "Sam"Sandrnire said the meet, althoughsloppy at times, was a good chancefor her to see her team in action.

"It was our first time in front ofan audience, in front of judges. Iexpected the upperclassmen to doas well as they did. Freshmen, younever know what they're going todo until you start off, I was pleas-antly surprised," said Sandmirc,

The Broncos begin for realwhen they host the Albertson'sChallenge Cup this Sal. at 7 prn. inthe Pavilion, The meet will be free

with a student m.As pleased as Sandmire was

with her teams performance in theexhibition, she hopes the squadwill perform betler this week.

"I expect that the Ilulc things

that went wrong will be cleanedup, the mental errors Iexpect to begone and I just know a little morewhat to expect. We're not going toimprove by leaps and bounds. Ourfirst few meets will probably beless than perfect, but I expect thatwe'll continue to improve all yearlong and that we'll peak at region-

als," said Sandmire,The meet will be a big test for

the Broncos. Perennial top-twenty

member Nebraska and always-tough Southern Utah will provide adifficult start to a difficult schedulethat includes top-20 teams UCLA,Washington, Brigham Young, Utah

State and Michigan State."We always try to bring in the

toughest teams possible, Our teamtends to rise to the level of compe-tit ion, so starting off with Nebraska

is huge," said Sandmire.Another thing that has

Sandmire excited is the squad itself.The Broncos return 11 performersfrom last year's injury-filled squad,

as well as adding depth with fivenew freshmen. The depth and tal-ent of the team has Sandmiredreaming of a trip to the NCAAchampionships. But she alsoremembers last year.

"The biggest key to this seasonis gelling and staying healthy. YouGin have all the talent and dedica-tion in the world, but you gallakeep them healthy," said Sandmire.

The gymnasts will beat their

BSU counterparts to the punch byjoining the Big West two yearsbefore the rest of the schools ath-letic programs make the move tothe California league, The chanceto get seniors Julie Wagner andJennifer Martin a league title has

Sandmire excited."We are psyched about being in

rity somehow made it to the Division I·AAchampionship game rnalnlyon guts, heart,and a little bit of magic late in the game.

Sound like a familiar story? I'm sure theChargers could identify with it. .

Nobody figured they would getpastMiami, but they did pittsburgh was going toeat them up-and did for awhile. In the end,the BOlts stole another won and are headedfor the title game.

Boise State was dominated in the cham-pionships. Most say the Chargers will be too.Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

But for all of us who hate Dallas (andthere's a lot us), we're just glad it won't be atthe hands of the Cowboys.

For the first time in years Ican finallyenjoy a Super BowL

For the first time in a long time, therewill be no more Buffalo Bills, no moreDenver Broncos, and-thank God!-no moreDallas Cowboys to ruin my enjoyment ofSuper Sunday.

Finally, two teams who I not only don'thate, but actually sort of like, will be play'ing each other head to head in the big game.Until now I had more fun rooting for BudLite in the Bud Bowl than I did in watching

Buffalo get the bejeezus knocked out ofthem.

Plus, as a lifelong Cowboy hater, watch-ing Dallas win two years in a row made mewant to puke up all the junk food I forceinto myself each Super Bowl holiday.

That's why I watched with glee as SanDiego seemingly will its way past a stunnedPittsburgh team. And that's why l alrnostwet myself when San Francisco thumpedDallas to end their reign as NFCchall1pions.

America's Team? Probably not. But nomatter what, the funny thing is, they'll be

well, with freshman guard KimBrydges leading the team in scor-ing both nights (24 againstEastern, 16 against Idaho).Michelle Schultz, who has led theteam and the Big Sky in scoringso far this season, tossed in 20points Friday and added 11 onSaturday.

Overall, BSU head coach JuneDaugherty said she was pleasedwith tho way her team startedoff the BigSky season.

"As defending conferencechampions, we really talked a lotabout coming out tough the firstcouple games,"she said.

Perhaps just as importantly,the Broncos have proven thatdespite being youthful, this teamhas potential.

"I think the young kids knowthey were a highly talked aboutrecruiting class and that peoplewere saying, Well, Bader's out,but look out because they're stilla talented group; Daugherty saidLoveall,one of those newcomers, ~agrees. ~

The thing is, most people are sayingthere really doesn't need to be a Super Bowlnow. A lot of folks are saying the Niners-Cowboys game determined all that. Justhand San Francisco that Lombardi Trophyand Steve Young the MVP award, and let'sget ready for the NBAplayoffs.

But fans of Boise State football ought tosee some similarities between their Broncosand this team from sunny San Diego.

Q: Why did It take so long for us to receive our grades? When we get ourgrades, my brother and I always go out and get drunk and If we hadn't gotour grades until this week, that first day of dass would have been hell.

A: Not if you had just kept drinking You could have continuedyour party with an early morning Bloody Mary and rode the bus toschool. What a weenie. But seriously, I spoke to Ann Lindley,Recorder in the Registrar Office and she said the late grades weredue to a variety of reasons. Some of these include the fact that theinstructors had until Dec. 23 to get the grades in and then BSU wasclosed until Dec. 7:7~Also, tl~ere was an extra day off for New Year's,

Lindley said there were many errors with the grades that had (0

be corrected. I asked her what the process of grades was and she saidthat the instructors turn in sheets with the grades circled on them tothe Registrar Office.Often the instructors forget to circle the grade.

From the Registrar Office, the grades are turned into the DataCenter for keypunching. From the Data Center, the grades goback to the Registrar Office, with a list of errors. Pretty scary.

By the way, did you know that you can get your grades from theRegistrarOffice before they are mailed?The week before the gradesare supposed to be mailed, students may go in the office, show their

. BSU LD.and the nice people behind the computers will verbally tellyou your grades The grades are unofficial until they are mailed, butat least you have a general idea.Remember, this is out loud so ifyou're expecting the worst, you may want to wear a ski mask
