Board approves motion, instills ‘sense of decorum’ JOSHUA CLAYTON NEWS EDITOR
The College of DuPage board of trustees approved a motion Sept. 25 to regulate public conduct at regular meetings. The measure passed with a 6-1 vote. Vice Chairman Kathy Hamilton voted “no.” The motion discourages unruly conduct from taking place during regular meetings and acts as code of conduct for members of the public in attendance. “Respect for the duties of the board and for the democratic process will be adhered to – in this regard, civility and a sense of decorum will be strictly followed,” the motion stated. Prior to the motion’s approval, Hamilton stated the board proposed the motion in fear of the public. “I have to ask, what are you afraid of that you need to make a policy like this? I think this is really unneces-
sary,” Hamilton said. Co-Vice Chairman Joseph Wozniak responded to Hamilton, stating the motion was proposed to promote the formality of meetings. “It’s not being afraid, it’s about having some formality. Last month was a zoo,” Wozniak said, referring to the Aug. 21 meeting. The new rules divide public commentary into two portions. “The initial Public Comment segment shall be limited to items specifically on the agenda. The Public Comment segment at the end of the meeting shall be open to any relevant subject matters,” the new rules stated. After the agenda was adopted, Hamilton moved to place the general public comment section to the forefront.
“By placing the general comment in the back of the agenda, it says to the people that their comments are irrelevant and their voice at the College of DuPage is not wanted,” Hamilton said. Trustee Kim Savage stated she had been to the meetings of other school boards and public bodies with the same format: one public comment section prior to the meeting pertaining to agenda items and one following the meeting for general comments. “By separating the [public commentary] this way it allows the board to focus on its business before it gets too late and everybody is short on brain cells,” Savage said.

Domestic violence, feminism speaker to visit COD KELLY WYNNE FEATURES EDITOR
A few years ago, Karli Johnson was just a college student at Northern Illinois University. That is, a college student who had been part of a school shooting, had aided her friend through sexual assault trauma and been in an abusive relationship herself. Johnson witnessed more than most college students will see in their educational careers, but the truth is, in the modern day these experiences are not uncommon. Johnson will be presenting at College of DuPage thanks to the “You Are Beautiful” speaker series, sponsored by the college’s Pride Alliance. She will speak on domestic violence as well as sexual assault and
what it means for college students. Johnson has turned her hardships into fuel for her career. As a motivational speaker and crisis counselor, she aims to help others deal with similar situations as well as avoid them. Johnson travels throughout the Chicago area, giving presentations on a variety of topics ranging from being a victim of a school shooting to teaching men about female struggles and the meaning of feminism. Bradley Setter, advising officer of Pride Alliance, believes that Johnson’s message on domestic violence and sexual assault will be beneficial for COD students. “We decided to add her to the speaker series because
we need to embrace her allies and our partnerships with outside resources,” Setter said. “[The speaker series will] also show that everybody goes through sexual assault and domestic violence but LGBTQ+ sexual assault and domestic violence is very underreported due to not having legalized marriage equality across the board.” Setter and Pride Alliance want to give students the right tools to help themselves in situations that are commonly overlooked. “It’s very important to educate LGBTQ+ youth how to be in a relationship, and if that relationship goes bad, how to take care of themselves and their children,” Setter said. “We hope that the student body

“Bad Intentions” brings good ratings KELLY WYNNE FEATURES EDITOR
Niykee Heaton has proven she can run with the big dogs with the release of her long awaited EP “Bad Intentions.” The Chicago YouTube star was discovered when her covers of popular rap songs began to go viral. Since her rise to Internet fame in 2012, she has released many of her own songs on her personal Soundcloud and Instagram accounts. She has been praised by A-list rappers
and was even featured on the song titled “We Own It” with Mike Posner, T Mills and Sammy Adams. Heaton released her first official single “Bad Intentions” on May 26 and received praise for her originality. Since then, Heaton has encouraged her fan base with song teasers and promotional pictures for her record. Her full EP hit iTunes on Sept. 23 after being pushed back by
her label, Capitol Records, from its original Sept. 2 release date. After just a few hours, the album was in the iTunes top 10 chart. Heaton’s EP is complete with six songs. They vary in sound from love ballad “Rolling Stone” to “Villa,” an upbeat tune that speaks about partying at a tropical getaway. In the opening song “Sober,” Heaton shows a more serious side as she sings
about addiction. Although the message is dark, she has a way of keeping the sound light and easy to sing along to. “Sober” shows Heaton’s views on addiction. She explains she did not write the song from a personal standpoint but from what she has witnessed in others. The song features heartbreaking lyrics like “leave every bottle as empty as my promises just like the last
time I swore I’d be sober for this.” Although the song shows an emotional side different from Heaton’s upbeat tunes, the song still represents her style and is easily identifiable as her own. Heaton brings a new type of R&B/pop sound to a scene dominated mostly by rappers and bubblegum pop stars. She falls somewhere in between with the use of profanity in songs that
will make listeners want to dance. Because of her mixed messages, Heaton’s music will be relatable to multiple audiences. Heaton now has a climbing fan base, and listeners can expect to see her take over the charts within the next few years. Email: features@cod.edu Twitter: @kellywynne23

I don’t want to be your Tinderella First-time Tinder user takes a swipe at hook-up app KELLY WYNNE FEATURES EDITOR
Over the past week I have given up my time and dignity to try out media-crazed dating app Tinder. If you have not heard about the app by now, you probably live under a rock. It is not uncommon to see Tinder conversations on social media, and the app has been deemed a socially acceptable way of meeting a possible partner. Many college students
use Tinder as a way to have fun and talk to people in their area, while others use it seriously, looking for a relationship or someone to hook up with. Basically, the idea of the app is to rate others based on the few pictures they post, and whatever they write in their bio, if anything. You can reject them or approve of them with just the swipe of your finger. Left indicates a pass, while right takes note that you liked them. If both people agree and swipe right, you are considered a match, and chat capabilities are opened. You can set the age range
you wish to see, gender and location. Tinder will not work without your location services being turned on. I set my distance to 100 miles in hopes of never actually seeing anyone that I talked to on Tinder. This failed me when someone actually approached me in real life and told me they saw my profile on Tinder. I denied the existence of my account and told them my name was Sharon. When making my profile, I uploaded a picture of my dog and I and a picture of myself playing guitar. After a few hours I had multiple matches and some started to message me. I began to get the idea that everybody lies on Tinder because the majority of those who messaged me told me they also play guitar. When I asked about their talent, they seemed to have little knowledge on the topic. One who did not know how to play opened conversation by asking me to write him a song. Some tried to get my attention with lines like “Hey beautiful :)” while some used more advanced pick-up lines like, “Do you work at Little Caesars cause you’re hot and i’m ready.” This actually made it fun for me to get a new message. Who doesn’t love a cheesy pick-up line and a
good laugh? As social media has pointed out, everyone will receive a few messages that will make them cringe. I had my fair share of disturbing introductions. I don’t know how I was supposed to respond to “Let’s be honest, I want to just bend you over and give you the most average 26 seconds of your day.” I heard the line “I wish you were my pinky toe so I could bang you on all of my furniture,” a few too many times. If I learned anything throughout this experience it was how to think of a killer comeback insanely fast. Either that or I told the suitor I sleep with 32 stuffed animals lined up in alphabetical order. That one worked like a charm. I’m just going to be honest, while scrolling through Tinder there are a lot of seemingly creepy people. You will see some who say they are 20 years old but are definitely closer to 45. I pride myself on being a nonjudgmental person, but on an app with minimal information, what other option do you have? It left me feeling extremely shallow even though I knew I was rejecting them based on my personal safety and what I felt comfortable with. I understand why some find Tinder enjoyable. It’s
surprisingly addicting to scroll through person after person and finding a match is an instant confidence booster. Despite the many scary people users may encounter, there are actually some pretty cool people that use it. I talked to a few that I wouldn’t mind getting to know in real life. That being said, I can never see myself taking it seriously or using it for more than this experiment. Frankly, I don’t want to live

in a world where I have to lie about how I met someone because I’m embarrassed of it. Even more so, I don’t want to expose myself to a place where asking for my bra size is an acceptable conversation starter. Maybe for some, technology is a reasonable way to meet a hook up buddy, or even a soulmate, but Tinder will not be aiding me with that anytime soon. Email: features@cod.edu Twitter: @kellywynne23

Fight for the fishbowl
This past week, the United Nations hosted a summit on climate change at their headquarters in New York City. At the summit, world leaders addressed issues such as carbon emissions and deforestation. Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon called for cohesive effort to become carbon neutral by the end of the century. Considering we have only recently identified this issues, it is inspiring to see such rapid and effective change. But wait- weren’t we
Vince Vaughn and Phil Mickelson were born the same year. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t still be talking about climate change. We absolutely should. It is vital that we continue to do so. It’s just baffling to see the same conversations over and over again, with little progress made. We’re like the smoker who says, “I’m going to quit by the time I turn 25,” and feels like he’s accomplished something as he lights up another. Only that’s not good enough anymore. Weather is getting crazier. There’s a continent of garbage floating around the Pacific. Polar bears and ice caps and forests in Southeast Asia. It all sounds so dramatic and far away. It’s all the same fishbowl, though. There’s nowhere else to go. If we are to solve this problem, which is to say, if GRAPHIC BY LUCAS KOPROWSKI humanity is going to continue to exist, we have to start acting systemically. If having this conversation you have an aquarium, and eight years ago when “An it’s getting dirty, the soluInconvenient Truth” came tion isn’t to collect all the out? That’s not a very long waste in one corner so that time, in the scheme of the fish might live comfortthings. Until you remember ably in the others. You clean that the first Earth Day was the tank. Not over the next more than 44 years ago. Just 86 years. Now. to put that in perspective, The summit was a good
thing because it rekindled this conversation. It was a bad thing because it implies that further conversation is, in some way, progress. President Obama presented an executive order requiring environmental sustainability to be considered in international development programs. This baby step is absolutely in the correct direction and might have been impressive if it didn’t come 44 years into the discussion. As it stands, it feels like the illusion of progress. Just enough to feel good about but not enough to actually make a difference. In the same week, the People’s Climate March happened around the world, with nearly 400,000 people in New York alone demanding that something be done about the degradation of our planet. This kind of talk is a little bit harder to ignore. The actual goal of the protest is a bit unclear, and it risks going the way of the Occupy Movement (sensational, but ultimately ineffective). It does show one thing though: people care about this. And that’s the point really. We care about this. You should care about this. You should make your friends care about this. Let’s lay it
out as clear as can be: the world, as we know it, will not continue to exist unless humanity does something cohesive and immediate. This is not alarmist. This is not sensationalized. This is simply the reality of the world we live on. We’re not the naive people we used to be, thinking the world was strong enough for us to lean on as hard as we wanted. We know now that we have a very real ability to destroy our own habitat, to make our fishbowl uninhabitable. This is terrifying, but also kind of awesome, because with this power to destroy we also have a very real and perhaps more amazing power to create. It is not too late for us to change. Almost, but not quite. We can change, we can preserve, we can adapt, but we all have to do it together and we all have to do it now. There’s no time to waste. So what’re you waiting for, kid? Get out there and save the world. Email: opinion@cod.edu

OPINION
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Courier coverage of no confidence vote Until this semester I was a part-time (adjunct) faculty member teaching Speech 1100. I am now a speech consultant in the Learning Commons. When I read the two articles in the latest Courier, two things jumped out at me immediately. The cover gave the line: "Faculty: No Confidence in Breuder.” Same line on page four, but with the explanation that the vote was from 189 full-time faculty members or 81 percent of those eligible to vote. I don't view it as being dismissive that the administration pointed out that the vote only represented 10 percent of the college employee base. What does the other 90 percent think? This ties into the second thing that jumped out at me.
Toward the end of the opinion page I found the sentence, “A $30 million dollar teaching and learning center is useless without quality instructors to actually teach in it." I think it worth pointing out that the bulk of the teaching load is on the shoulders of the adjunct faculty. Further, the implication is that without the full-time faculty, we would not have quality instructors. Even though I am no longer an adjunct faculty member, I felt this was a slap in the face. I would ask the Courier to be specific and not simply say "faculty" in any further headlines unless what is being printed is the opinion of both the full-time and part-time faculty. -Joyce Daley

Despite a hopeful start, Georgia Military College quickly came back and were able to dominate the rest of the game.

During the second half, Georgia Military was able to capitalize on kickoff returns, interceptions, and long-distance passes. Georgia Military’s defense prohibited COD to make any more touchdowns throughout the game. Chaparral head football coach Matt Foster admitted he did not expect such a large score gap. “I think that the score total from the first half was where I thought we might be at. However, the second half was way off on how I predicted the game to end,” Foster said. Foster acknowledged the Chaparrals made errors that aided in the result of the huge loss. “There were a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided. Georgia Military is a great team, and you can’t
make mistakes like we did against a great team.” Chaparral quarterback Zach Mahoney remarked on their tough opponent. “We knew that Georgia Military was going to play as hard as they did,” Mahoney admitted. “From the start we could see that it was going to be a battle until they end, and they didn’t let up. Their defense was especially difficult to play against, and I think that there was a lot we could have changed in terms of our offense.” It’s an unfortunate loss for the Chaparrals, especially with having such a great start to their season. Their current record is 3-2, and they play their next game against Trinity Valley on Oct. 4. Email: sports@cod.edu

COFFEE BREAK 5 TIPS FOR MANAGING COLLEGE LIFE New college students: get ahead in your classes with these five important tips. ASHLEE BERNER DESIGN EDITOR
1 Speech
Speaking from experience, I just gave my first speech last Friday, prepare for it and practice it. The night before my speech I practiced it at least a dozen times and it helped out in the long run. When I started giving my speech, I felt more confident that I had practied the night beofore. So my advice to you would be to not leave it for the night before. Get your outline and such done before and then practice verbalizing it. It really helps.

2 Communication 3 Exercise
I listen to the radio every morning on my commute. I listen mostly to Eric and Kathy on 101.9, Fred and Angie on 103.5 KISS FM, or the Jay show on B96. A lot of people call in for relationship advice. Although it is humerous, do not call in the radio for relationship advice. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a coward. Talk to them yourself and work out your problems. That is how you learn from fights and how relationships become stronger: getting through obstacles yourself.
Need a stress reliever? Workout. Be active. Going to school full time and having a job can be a lot to handle and can get stressful. A way to relieve that stress is to exercise. Whether it is going to the gym, or going for a run around your town, it will help you get active and get your mind off of your everyday stress. While you are relieving stress you will also be getting fit, so you are killing two birds with one stone.
4 Money
Having money problems like every other college student on campus? Here are a few things you could do to help save your money. When you get paid, put some of that check directly into savings and do not touch it unless you absolutley need it. Limit your spending to what you really need rather than what you want. Do you really need Starbucks everyday? No, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You would be surprised how much money you save when you realize what you need instead of want.
5 Eat Healthy
Now that it is going to start getting cooler out, the fall colds will be going around. No one wants to get sick, then you have to miss work and school and no one has time for that. To help your immune system, eat healthy. Eating healthy will keep your body on the right track and will keep your immunes system strong. This will help it fight off that cold the person that sits next to you in your class has. One more thing that will help is getting enough sleep each night.
