POLICE REPORTS TUESDAY, SEPT. 25

ACCIDENT The driver of unit 1 advised that she was attempting to park and as she turned into a parking space she slowly pressed on the accelerator, but the vehicle sped up very quickly. Unit 1 subsequently jumped the curb. The driver of unit 1 stated that she pressed on the brakes, but advised that the vehicle did not re-­ spond. She advised that she turned to the right to avoid a tree to her front, but struck another tree. The driver advised that her transmission was locked and she was un-­ able to move the vehicle. The property owner of the damaged property is the College of DuPage. No injuries and no cita-­ tions.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27

ACCIDENT Police arrived to the scene and spoke with unit 2. Unit 2 advised that she returned to her vehicle

at approximately 1:45 p.m. and observed several dents, scratches and paint transfer sustained to her rear driver’s side door. Police observed a red van parked one spot south of unit 2. Police observed dam-­ age to unit 1’s passenger side mirror that would be consistent in causing the damage that occurred to unit 2. Police also observed red paint transfer to unit 2’s rear driver’s side wheel well.

Police were able to speak with unit 1. Unit 1 advised that she did not know that she hit the vehicle, but after viewing the damage to both vehicles, she con-­ cluded that she probably did.

ACCIDENT Both units were north-­ bound on Prairie at Fawell Blvd. Unit 2 stopped at the stop sign. Unit 1 stopped and then

pulled forward striking unit 2 in the rear with the front end of unit 1. A small scratch was vis-­ ible on the rear bumper of unit 2. No further investigation is pending.

Statues a waste of money Two years ago, the $168 million referen-­ dum was passed to renovate and create new spaces for the college to appeal to both the eye and create a better learning environment. The focus of that campaign was a grass roots effort as the facul-­ ty, staff and community members joined togeth-­ er to educate voters about the referendum. Initially, President Robert Breuder him-­ self went on a Listen-­ LQJ 7RXU WR Ă€QG RXW LI the referendum would even have legs in an election and to see if it had voter support. As it turned out, 55 percent of the voters agreed. Now, unfortunately, it seems that the ini-­ tial spark to commu-­ nicate with the public

has been diminished. At the September meeting, the board of trustees approved spend-­ ing between $175,000 and $250,000 on a 29 foot bronze sculpture to be funded with money from that referendum. The support of the voting base was there because of the promise that the referendum would help out the com-­ munity by bettering the educational environment at the college through improved facilities. Almost exclusively throughout the verbatim wording from the refer-­ endum, explicit details about buildings are given including granting the college the rights to ren-­ ovate, build and alter. Indications of a park-­ ing structure are also included in the referen-­ dum, only to be all but

shot down shortly after due to high costs, howev-­ er, there is no mention of any statues, waterfalls RU RWKHU EHDXWLĂ€FDWLRQ projects anywhere in the text of the referendum. Many of the projects and renovations are helping out the campus immensely, but a quarter of a million dollars on a statue is ridiculous. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a small fraction of the budget, but that doesn’t make the situation any better. When the voters went to the polls, they were voting on the Home-­ land Education Center being built, new roofs for the Physical Ed-­ ucation building and the McAninch Arts Center and library renovations, not stat-­ ues and waterfalls. The faculty recent-­

ly talked to the Daily Herald discussing the HIĂ€FLHQF\ DQG HIIHFWLYH-­ ness of money spent in regards to the high land-­ scaping costs and focus on increasing the curb appeal of the college. Breuder has said many times that curb appeal is important, and that WKH Ă€UVW IHZ PRPHQWV on campus are the de-­ ciding factor for most students, but the focus needs to be on educa-­ tion because while the Ă RZHUV PLJKW EULQJ WKH students, it’s the teach-­ ers that keep them. Spending money on frivolous expenditures only takes away from the taxpayer mon-­ ey that could be used for other construction projects, as it was orig-­ inally allotted for, that would better education not just aesthetics.

FEATURES Mercy for Animals Speaker visits College ROSALIE DEASTIS FEATURES EDITOR

Mercy for Animals (MFA) is a non-­prof-­ it organization that is dedicated to preventing cruelty to farm animals and alternative food choices and policies. With bases all over the U.S., they take action through educating con-­ sumers, investigations, corporate outreach, and legal advocacy. Wednesday a speaker from MFA was invited by the campus group Students of Animal Defense to give a presen-­ tation. Mikael Nielsen, the current Campaign Coordinator of MFA’s Chicago branch, pre-­ sented “Inspiring Com-­ passion – putting our ethics on the tableâ€?. Nielsen successfully informed people who attended the session with the truth behind the meat people eat and where it comes from. The presentation start-­ ed off with many facts supporting that animals are in fact intelligent with unique personal-­ ity traits. Some of the examples cited includ-­

ed how chickens show very sophisticated social behavior and how pigs have been proven to learn how to play video games. Other topics included a variety of statistics such as how 10 billion farm animals are killed each year; 287 chick-­ ens per second, 3.68 pigs per second, and 1.12 cows per second. Nielsen also brought up how most people maintain the same friendly image when farms come to mind, much like the ones we saw in children’s books growing up as a kid. Unfortunately, this image has transformed to the corporate factory farms we have today, and the reason comes down to the high consumer de-­ mand for meat products. Viewers at the presen-­ tation learned about the harsh living conditions of farm animals, how pigs are stuck in a two foot crate for four months straight and chickens are ready for slaughter when they are only 45 days old because of all the growth hormones they are fed. A research study pre-­

Meat consumption has actually dropped 12

Hispanic heritage month Latin American studies Committee kicks off October with speaker and holiday ROSALIE DEASTIS FEATURES EDITOR

In honor of Hispan-­ ic Heritage month, the college’s Latin Amer-­ ican Studies Commit-­ tee (LASC) holds their Ă€UVW HYHQW HYHU\ \HDU to commemorate His-­ panic history as well as their diverse culture. On Oct. 10, Rebecca Roebber, a representa-­ tive from Kallari Choc-­ olate Company, will be visiting campus. The presentation will bring attention to a number of social justice issues in Latin America and give out samples of the compa-­ ny’s gourmet chocolate. LASC members decided to select this event when the company approached

WKHP EHFDXVH LW Ă€W ZHOO with the committee’s mis-­ sion and the issues that face the Amazon are not always as well-­known. LASC’s purpose is to promote understand-­ ing and appreciation of Latin American coun-­ tries and cultures. “It’s very important to us to always try to stress that there are so many diverse cultures,â€? commented John Paris, co-­chair of LASC along with Elizabeth Mares.

This is something the committee has attended every year and it’s a day to celebrate this Mexican holiday that is recog-­ nized around the world. The focus of the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) holiday (Nov. 1) that has been around thousands of years, is for families and friends to gather and remem-­ ber those who have died by praying for them and celebrating them.

The trip is packed with a variety of activities IURP D UDIà H RQ WKH EXV ride to Pilsen, Illinois, to lunch at an authen-­ tic Mexican restaurant and a Mexican bakery where there will be some of the traditional baked goods and treats eaten for this celebration.

1o Great Reasons to Transfer to Elmhurst

You’ll find a welcoming community. “I fell in love with Elmhurst the first day I visited,� says Julie Provenza. “Everyone I met tried to make me feel at home. I was nervous about transferring, but people here are so friendly that it was an easy transition.�

An Elmhurst education is intensely practical. “Elmhurst has a lot of programs that prepare you for a career,� says Anar Akhundov. “I have an internship now, and my professor has connected me with people who can help me find a job after graduation.�

Your professors will know your name. “I spent two years at a big university, where classes were huge and there was no personal interaction,� says Sonia Pedapati. “Elmhurst is a good fit for me, because the professors talk to you and they know who you are.�

Serritella is one of 10 siblings and is of Guatemalan and Italian descent. He was born and raised in the city of Chicago and believe his parents are the reason why he’s very self-­disciplined and well rounded. “They’ve always been strict with me,â€? he said. “But I appreciate it now because it was the guidance I needed to stay on track and al-­ ways do well in school.â€? In high school, Ser-­ ritella played football all four years, wrestled, ran track, and was in the Wizard of Oz school mu-­ sical his junior year, all

while keeping his head in the books and main-­ taining the best grades. He received a 31 on his ACT and originally was going to take on a football scholarship at Concordia University but decided to attend COD after he found out he had earned a Pres-­ idential Scholarship. Serritella is cur-­ rently taking honors philosophy, honors psychology, calculus, Italian, and business. He hopes to possibly Ă€QG D EXVLQHVV LQWHUQ-­ ship opportunity to further help him go for a double major in busi-­ ness and psychology. “I’ve always been able to connect with people and I love everything about business,â€? he commented about his future career goals.

Leigh Stein, former COD student and now an author of a poetry collec-­ tion and a novel is coming to speak at 7 p.m. in SRC 2000 on Monday, Oct. 8. This event is part of the College’s “Writers Readâ€? series, which brings au-­ thors to COD’s campus for readings and discussions. Stein has been writing poems since she was 13 and she says “Eventu-­ ally the poems I wrote when I was about 20 to 25 naturally found them-­ selves in larger collec-­ tion that I tried to get published as a book.â€? Her poetry collec-­ tion is called Dispatch from the Future. In her novel, The Fall-­ back Plan, the main character is a babysit-­ ter who lives at home with her parents. “One of the characters attends community col-­ lege, and though I don’t name it, it’s obviously COD,â€? said Stein.

Jake: We’ve been play-­ ing music since sixth grade and playing in bands for eight years. Mike: I met them fresh-­ man year through Chet, their old bass player. We automatically became really good friends. David: Mike was in a metal band at Whea-­ ton South and we were in a rock band at Wheaton North so we ended up playing lot of shows together. Where have you performed? Jake: We play a lot at River Rock House in St. Charles and basically all over Wheaton. The band I was previously in played at the Metro in Chicago. Upcoming show? Jake: We’re playing at JB Mugs in Addison on October 28. On Nov. 11, we’re playing at River Rock House in Chicago as part of a battle of the bands event. People in-­ terested should check our )DFHERRN SDJH WR Ă€QG RXW show times and addition-­ al ticket information. Who writes your songs? Jake: I make the gen-­ eral structure for the song or the general foundation and then we all add onto it. David: We make sug-­ gestions to each other. Mike: Usually Jake brings something to practice and says, “Hey, I’ve been working on this for awhileâ€? and then we all work on it together. Is there a theme to the lyrics? Jake: Our lyrics talk about the world and things I think are a big issue. David: Real things, real problems. Jake: Yeah, we talk about real things that happen. Mike: You gotta be able to be true to yourself and everyone around you. It comes out of issues we have seen in our real lives. David: It’s really re-­ latable for everybody. Jake: It’s good to have people identify with it. How has your music evolved over time? Jake: Well we’re a new band. We only formed last December so we’re almost at a year but I came back from Columbia last year with a vision to start a band. I had an idea for a progressive band but the bass player wasn’t

working out. Then we jammed with Mike‌ David: And we gradu-­ ally started taking out the synth. Before that, it was going to be like Pink Floyd with distortion. Jake: We threw out the electronic and started the rock. Mike: We take pride in what we do when we play. David: We strive to be the best at our in-­ struments. We have fun but we also take it really seriously. What has been your biggest challenge? Mike: Scheduling Jake: It’s hard because we all love it so much but we all have other commitments. We prac-­ tice three times a week. David: Practices usu-­ ally last two hours. Mike: We all have jobs too. David: But we still manage to get that prac-­ tice in because we’re all serious about it. What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? David: Take it seriously. Jake: Decide if you want it to be a ca-­ reer or just for fun. David: If you want to be in a band, you need to know your instru-­ ment and you need to know rhythm. You need to learn to play with others because if you always play alone you won’t have rhythm. Mike: Play music that suits you best. You have to play music that is you, not just what is popular. Jake: You don’t have to be good as long as you are good together. Rock is still around.
