â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Best Project in the Midwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Engineering group cites Homeland Education center as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outstandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JORDIN GIGNAC G>PL >=BMHK
While most of the noto-Â riety that the Homeland Education Center receives is for the services and technology that are housed indoors, the building has now received an award for the architectural work. The blue glass construct-Â ing the building was used to represent the merge of technology and nature and with the many other fea-Â tures was enough to win the Best Higher Educa-Â tion/Research Project from the Engineering News-ÂRe-Â cord (ENR) Midwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Projects competition for 2012. Among the two design teams that COD hired to build the HEC, Legat Architects submitted the HEC into the Best Proj-Â ects 2012 Competition for ENR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legat Architects and the Construction Manag-Â er, Power Construction entered the project [into the competition] due to the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique curricu-Â lum, function, and archi-Â tecture,â&#x20AC;? Communications Manager of Legat Archi-Â tects Douglas Ogurek said. Brubaker Design and Legat Architects designed the building to assist with the existing Police, Fire Sciences, Suburban Law Enforcement Academy, and Criminal Justice Pro-Â grams that COD offers.

$150,000 to Human Services JORDIN GIGNAC G>PL >=BMHK
The Human Services department won the Cen-Â ter of Excellence award, along with a $150,000 grant over three years, and can attribute some success to their unique application. They turned not to themselves, but to the community members
and students, whom they serve, for feedback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the feedback we received, the most unique feature of our application was the inclusion of sever-Â al letters from community agencies commending our program for its work with the community and for the high level of student preparedness for working LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;HOG Âľ $VVLVWDQW Professor Jason Florin
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really tried to convey our interaction with the broader DuPage community and how well our students connect their education to the working world.â&#x20AC;?

HUMAN, from Page 1 Human Services plans to use the money to improve its student services, veteran foundations, and community services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have several ideas planned,â&#x20AC;? Florin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with Veterans Services and Counseling and Advising to develop a counseling center for veterans on campus.â&#x20AC;? According to Florin, some money will be used to give scholarships to
students, begin partner-Â ships with internship agencies, faculty develop-Â ment and have expert pre-Â senters come to campus. As the Human Services Department works to-Â wards the additions and changes, many students enrolled in Human Ser-Â vices studies are proud and excited for the award to take action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any teacher I have had in my three and a half years in the department, have put their heart and
soul into their classes and I truly believe in what they are teaching,â&#x20AC;? current student Sheila Dalton said. Human Services said they hope the future is greatly impacted by the money they received and that the students and faculty will grow even more in their careers with servicing people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award is repre-Â sentative of years of hard work on the part of facul-Â ty, local agencies, and our
students. The students in our program bring tre-Â mendous enthusiasm and passion to want to work in the helping professions and this spirit is the reason our program has grown stronger,â&#x20AC;? Florin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we move for-Â ward, we want to see our program grow in the types of specializations offered as well as the types of agencies where our stu-Â dents can intern and eventually work.â&#x20AC;?

Events need better timing Students play role in college decisions, need to be present
The college recently hosted its second Town Hall meeting bringing in administration and staff to talk to students about any questions they might have con-Â FHUQLQJ Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO DLG There was only one problem; less than 15 students showed up. Financial aid is something that is near and dear to many hearts on campus, as it often allows them to attend college. However, the lines are often long, and infor-Â mation can be confus-Â ing which is why there are always questions about how to check oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aid status or when re-Â imbursement checks will be sent out, and yet, there was very little attendance. In an editorial on Sept. 7, 2012, the Cou-Â rier discussed student
involvement or the lack thereof, but it goes beyond the students. When events are SODQQHG WR Ă&#x20AC;W LQWR HYHU\-Â oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out for anybody. Town Hall meetings for the year so far have consisted of discussions on the Tobacco Ban as ZHOO DV Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO DLG WZR of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot topicsâ&#x20AC;? on the year, according to Stu-Â dent Leadership Council. However, when a meet-Â ing or event is held at 4 p.m., and there are far fewer amount of students on campus than earli-Â er in the day, is simply setting up for failure. If the goal is to have student feedback and attendance, then events need to cater more to the student schedule which could include polling students as to when the college could serve the greatest amount
of students at once. When the college had its birthday celebration for the Student Services Center and Campus central last month, it was held in the middle of the day unlike many of the other events, and the attendance and student participa-Â WLRQ UHĂ HFWHG WKDW For a slice of sheet cake, approximately 100 people gathered around, some singing as President Robert %UHXGHU FXW WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW slice and spoke about the effect that the SSC has had on the campus. )RU DQVZHUV WR Ă&#x20AC;-Â nancial aid questions concerning their fu-Â ture as well as money, less than 10 showed up to voice concerns and get answers. Having events later in the day usually result in OHVV FRQĂ LFW IRU FODVV EXW
also limits your amount of available options. If the college or any or- ganization wants student participation to thrive, it has to be accessible and not limited to just a few. Events can be planned to cover a block of time that could span between two usual class times so less people might be able to make it to the whole duration of the event, but more people could make it to parts to have their questions answered or receive more information. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always easier to blame someone else, but coming up with solutions will only work towards the betterment of the col- lege as a whole and make the experience better. With better student feedback, more events and programs can cater to the student body be- cause a business without FXVWRPHUV ZRQ¡W SURĂ&#x20AC;W

Work smarter, not harder Alternative campus transportation, including skateboarding, reviewed LONDON SUMMERS PhotoEditor
With more than 11 buildings and 273 acres, the college is able to serve the thousands of students and com-Â munity members who walk through its doors, but the vast size can be overwhelming. Simply walking from building to building can be a daunting task and a bit tedious, especial-Â ly with construction or other hindrances that could affect the trek across campus, but there are students who already walk or com-Â mute through other means to the college. Some students have taken their hobbies and turned them into an effective mode of transportation. First year student Mi-Â BOTTOM LEFT: First year student, Michael Mancanocoasts his way to the cafeteria for an afternoon snack.

chael Mancano says that skating on campus greatly decreased the time it takes, traveling from class to class, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It literally takes me three minutes to get from the Home-Â land Security building to the Bergâ&#x20AC;Ś Its also a fun way to exer-Â cise,â&#x20AC;? said Mancano. However adversities loom over those who choose to take this al-Â ternative means of campus transportation. According to campus police policy, the college allows skateboarding to and from class, as long as the students are not performing tricks on railings or any oth-Â er campus property. This is a fairly light concern where as many students have said that they have never had
problems with skating on campus or incidents with campus police, as well as some students who say they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had an issue in over four years of attending the college. Glen Ellyn has a skate-Â board park off of DuPage Blvd in their park dis-Â WULFW URXJKO\ Ă&#x20AC;YH PLQXWHV from the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus to allow stu-Â dents to practice tricks without disturbing any patrons of the college. The park is open from dusk until dawn and offers a pyramid as well as handrails and a half-Â pipe allow students to blast tricks and grind to their heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content.

recreate new versions of her work for the Hyde Park Art Center in Chi-Â cago, for a new audience. Baker said the group was â&#x20AC;&#x153;responding to works we made in the previous yearâ&#x20AC;? but that she â&#x20AC;&#x153;de-Â constructed the work and remade it in a different way.â&#x20AC;? She also said that it was very different this time around working in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pristine,â&#x20AC;? white gal-Â lery rather than an old, abandoned warehouse. Pictures of the work cannot be found online be-Â cause Baker is interested in â&#x20AC;&#x153;what it means to truly KDYH VLJKW VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F ZRUN that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up all over the web.â&#x20AC;? She says the exhibit is â&#x20AC;&#x153;about mem-Â ory, the memory of ob-Â jects, the artistic process.â&#x20AC;? Baker describes her art as belonging to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;in between, gray area between 2D and 3Dâ&#x20AC;? and said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue tape, old packaging foam, and cardboard boxesâ&#x20AC;? are common materials for her to use. She used these kinds of materials to create her series of paint-Â ings in order to â&#x20AC;&#x153;use the same material language but within the form of painting.â&#x20AC;? She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a
deeper level, [the show is] our experience of living.â&#x20AC;? This show is running for the next 4 months from now until until January 6, 2013 at Hyde Park Art Center located at 5020 S. Cornell Ave-Â nue Chicago, IL 6061. Her second show, called Rigolettoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curse, is also currently open. In this exhibition, Baker col-Â laborated with a writer named Monica Westin with whom she exchanged sketchbooks. Baker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past summer we decided to really delve into how a writer and visual artist could col-Â laborate in a process.â&#x20AC;? She said the sketch-Â books consisted of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;useful and productive dialogue using two dif-Â ferent languages.â&#x20AC;? Baker created a body of small white panels and collag-Â es based off old record albums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her writing is directly about my work and the collaborative process,â&#x20AC;? said Baker. This show will only be open until November 1 at Trinity Christian College, Seerveld Gal-Â lery located at 6601 West College Drive, Palos Heights, IL 60463.

Lady Chaps sweep season series with Joliet, win conference championship AUSTIN SLOTT
SPORTS EDITOR
The Lady Chaps are conference champions after beating the Joliet Junior College Wolves, 2-Â1, last Friday. In addition to it being the conference champi-Â onship, the Lady Chaps were playing for home Ă&#x20AC;HOG DGYDQWDJH LQ WKH playoffs. With the importance of the game on their minds, the Chaps began the game looking aggressive
offensively. Barely two minutes LQWR WKH JDPH PLGĂ&#x20AC;HOGHU Marlene Nevarez passed WKH EDOO XS Ă&#x20AC;HOG WR VWULNHU Margaret Lindberg who chased it down and scored the goal. The Chaps were out to an early lead and the de-Â fense seemed determined to keep it. The defensive play was so effective, in fact, the Wolves only attempted one shot on the Chapsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal during the entire
Ă&#x20AC;UVW KDOI â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were times when WKH ZKROH Ă&#x20AC;HOG ZDV FRP-Â pressed into about thirty yards, which is like both teams are playing Rus-Â sian roulette at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Head Coach Wil-Â liam Fajkus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both defenses felt com-Â fortable doing that.â&#x20AC;? When the second half began, the Chaps stuck with their strong defen-Â sive game plan and al-Â lowed scarce opportunities for the Wolves to score.
However, at 77:12 mark, Joliet striker Britney Len-Â za found a hole through the defense and snuck a goal in past the Chaps, her twelfth of the season. The game was knotted up at one, but it did not take long for the Chaps to answer back. Just two minutes af-Â ter Joliet tied the game, forward Adriana Hernan-Â GH] VFRUHG KHU Ă&#x20AC;UVW JRDO of the season and gave the Chaps the lead once again.
The goal turned out to be the game winner as the defense held onto the lead for the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last ten minutes. Hernandez shared her thoughts on scoring the game-Âwinning goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting,â&#x20AC;? Hernandez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were trying to get KRPH Ă&#x20AC;HOG DGYDQWDJH VR we were really looking forward to winning.â&#x20AC;? The victory has the Lady Chaps feeling good
