Sam Amirante speaks to students, staff about the Constitution, John Wayne Gacy BGJ<AF ?A?F9; NEWS EDITOR

COD celebrated Consti-­ tution Day on Sept. 17 by having a guest speaker come in to talk to stu-­ dents about the rights of the document and his new book. “It is there to be sup-­ ported by the people,â€? said guest speaker and former defense attorney for John Wayne Gacy, Sam Amirante. “We protect their rights in the Constitution.â€? Amirante began by reading excerpts of his book, “John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monsterâ€? as well as anecdotes to go along with the passages and what the constitution meant for him and that was shared during the event. “[I learned that] he’s not defending them wheth-­ er they’re guilty or not guilty, he’s defending them as a person,â€? said

Humanities major Cheryl Krafft. Amirante said the rea-­ son why he wrote his book was because he knew Gacy more than the ma-­ jority of people knew him and he didn’t view him like the public did. “To the whole world he was a monster, to me he was a client,â€? Amirante said. “He told me every-­ thing and that is why I wrote the book.â€? Once Amirante was Ă€QLVKHG KH JDYH VWXGHQWV the opportunity to ask him questions about his book and other miscella-­ neous questions concern-­ ing his attorney work. “It seemed pretty inter-­ esting and I would like to learn more about that case,â€? student Jake De-­ leon said after stopping by the presentation while waiting for his next class. Students who attended Constitution day in the HSC building said they liked what Amirante had

to say and learned a lot about Gacy and being a lawyer. When asked what stu-­ dents took away the most from the presentation, students replied with detailed answers, “[The most I took away ZHUH@ WKH MXVWLĂ€FDWLRQV and how we were able to defend someone with that kind of state of mind,â€? Krafft said. Deleon agreed with Krafft and said he learned a lot more information about what it meant to have your rights from the Constitution. “The constitution is about protecting our rights and that is how he viewed John Wayne Gacy and protecting his rights and not as a monster,â€? Deleon said. When Amirante had left and students hurried to their classes, the Consti-­ tution and it’s purpose still remained in the spirit of America on that

EDITORIAL

Police add vehicles, ideas The college police department has recently added two new ve-­ hicles to the garage with the addition of another Tahoe and a Ford F-­150 pickup truck. The Tahoe will be the third of that model for the college and the Ford will replace the 2005 Ford Explorer pickup truck they are currently using. The new vehicles offer a higher YLHZSRLQW IRU WKH RIĂ€FHU DV ZHOO DV more in cabin room for movement to adjust for differing body styles. Despite the increase in size and elevation, the Tahoes cost rough-­ ly $23,000 and offers comparable gas mileage to the former Crown Victorias because of the engine. New Tahoes come with the Flex-­fuel option which bump up the gas mileage to around the 15 mpg mark, according to Deputy Chief Ray Snisko. The Ford F-­150 costs approxi-­ mately $24,000 and will handle WUDIĂ€F DQG SDUNLQJ VHUYLFHV VXFK as dead car batteries, letting

people into their cars if they get locked out and other small tasks that don’t require the police force. This frees up all police vehicles to GHDO ZLWK Ă€JKWLQJ FULPH LQVWHDG RI Ă€JKWLQJ GHDG FDU EDWWHULHV It will also serve for mov-­ ing around barricades and other bulky objects because of the free space provided by the large bed of the truck. The more rugged vehicles also handle inclement weather better than smaller sedans and have been found to hold their resale value better than the competition. Hybrids were looked at as an alternative, but when the police lights are switched on, the vehicle automatically runs solely on gas because of the extra draw on the current. For that reason, Snisko said that it would negate the ben-­ HĂ€WV RI KDYLQJ D K\EULG YHKLFOH and in vehicles such as the Toyo-­ ta Prius, the addition of the tools necessary for a patrol car would void the manufacturer’s warranty.

The college and other cam-­ pus services have a budget al-­ lotted to spend, and not using it would be foolish as long as it helps the organization. With the freedom of having a spe-­ cialized vehicle just for “non-­policeâ€? functions such as interacting with the general public will only help out. The police department also has bicycles as well as ATVs to allow for better mobility in areas where a ve-­ hicle would not be appropriate and is far less intimidating to students. Bicycles often get used for that purpose because patrons of the college are more likely to approach DQ RIĂ€FHU WR DVN IRU DVVLVWDQFH ZLWK Ă€QGLQJ D EXLOGLQJ RU DVN DERXW FDP-­ pus policies than if they are in a car. For roughly the same cost per vehicle, the police department was DEOH WR Ă€QG D EHWWHU VROXWLRQ IRU their purposes, and the Courier hopes that mentality will trans-­ fer all around campus and not just remain in police lock up.

The Chaparral women’s soccer team fell to rival Harper Hawks Wednes-­ day in a frustrating 3-­2 loss. The Lady Chaps were eager to shake off a 6-­0 loss to Southwestern Illi-­ nois and get their record back over .500. Stout defensive play on both sides of the ball played out through the Ă€UVW VHYHUDO PLQXWHV RI the game. In fact, neither team scored until the 21:39

SOCCER from page 13 lead, the Chaps needed to stop Harper from scoring in order to pull out the victory. But the Hawks had other plans, quickly tying the game back up just minutes after the Chaps took the lead. Harper did not stop there, taking the lead for WKH Ă€UVW WLPH LQ WKH JDPH with under 23 minutes to play. Fajkus emphasized the importance of being able to close out games. “When these games matter in the playoffs and stuff, two goals should be enough to win,â€? Fajkus said. “We had the lead 2-­1, we should’ve just shut things down‌but we let them back in the game.â€? To make matters worse, play was stopped as Chaps defender Angie Bernal was carted off the Ă€HOG ZLWK D NQHH LQMXU\

She did not return to the game. “It’s something with her knee, that’s all we know right now,â€? Fajkus said. “We’ll know a little more when the swelling goes down.â€? The Chaps were not able to make up for their defensive woes and did not score another goal. Harper pulled off the 3-­2 win. “It’s frustrating, we’ve been a little bit inconsis-­ tent, giving up goals we shouldn’t give up,â€? Fajkus said. “It’s been our Achil-­ les.â€?

PACK from page 13 teams, while the women placed 18 overall and sec-­ ond among junior colleges. Despite the strong start to the season, Wilhite believes that there is still a lot of work for the team to put in. The coach thinks that the areas where the team needs the most improve-­ ment are getting used to the difference in distances between high school and college and being a little smarter in races. Wilhite does, however, believe the team is talent-­ ed this year and is eager to see them when they reach their top form. “We have a long sea-­ son ahead of us and I’m not looking for people to be in peak performance condition yet,â€? Wilhite explained. “But with the times I’m seeing so far this season, I’m excited to see what will happen once everyone is ready to peak.â€? Wilhite has high hopes for the team this year and emphasizes that if they work hard, they will have an opportunity to place in the top 15 of Nationals. “I have great expecta-­ tions of everyone on this team, expectations that aren’t too far-­fetched or aren’t unrealistic at all,â€? Wilhite stated. “With a little hard work and a ton of dedication, the members of the COD cross country team have endless possibilities this season.â€? $OVR IRU WKH Ă€UVW WLPH the college will host a meet this season. The College of DuPage Invitational will take place Friday, Sept. 28 at the St. James Farm in Warrenville, IL. “If anyone is interest-­ ed in seeing our team in action, come on out and support your fellow Chap-­ arrals.â€?
