STANCES VS. STUDENTS What can these guys ¨ do for us at COD? JORDIN GIGNAC G>PL >=BMHK
COD students prepare for the 2012 Presidential Election and focus on top-Â ics discussed by the two candidates that will affect their future. Students tackle the issues of Education, Jobs, and healthcare to decide on their vote for the 2012 Presidential Election. Romney and Obama both have their stances on issues, but the issues that will affect students the most are student loans, Obamacare and the cre-Â ation of jobs in studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s futures. Students around cam-Â pus said that student loans are what keep them working towards getting

Police spoke with Unit 1 and Unit 1 stated that she was driving in Parking Lot C and took a left-Âhand turn, into an open parking stall. While turning, Unit 1 admitted to striking Unit 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle. Unit 1 advised that she did not observe any dam-Â age to Unit 2, so she did not leave any information.

Students pay premium Just past the half-Â way mark for the se-Â mester, parking still remains an issue on campus, but why? Premium parking spaces plague the lots by making spots unavailable to students without the pass. It is still not an uncommon sight to see vehicles going up and down aisles searching for an available parking spot while empty premi-Â um spots just sit there. We live in a nation based on capitalism, and those that have more, can get more, but a community college park-Â ing lot isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the place to demonstrate that. College is about op-Â portunity, and commu-Â nity colleges offer more
opportunity through lower costs of tuition DQG Ă H[LELOLW\ VR ZK\ work to take that away? Enough parking dis-Â turbances are caused by construction, general maintenance and limited spots already without throwing in reserved and other specialized spots. The initial premium spaces, when introduced in 2010, offered a better parking spot to students who were willing to pay a little extra for the assur-Â ance of a closer space. What sometimes gets forgotten, is that with each premium space, a space that could be used for unrestricted parking gets used up. As has been made very clear by the col-Â
lege, the addition of a parking garage is very unlikely, due to high costs of construction for the initial structure, so one could ask why the college is restricting available parking for a commuter college if it is so valuable and literally essential to business? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key, the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on having a business mentality has brought them to selling parking spaces. The low $75 per se-Â mester cost goes towards maintenance and running the premium parking program with addition-Â al funds going into the budget, but at what cost? The college is an edu-Â cational institution, not a Wal-ÂMart, and needs to
be treated and regarded as such. The focus should be to educate students and provide the future with the resources to be successful, not milking as much money as pos-Â sible out of students. Just because it can be sold, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it should. During the duration of continued construction and main-Â tenance, premium park-Â ing is an extravagance that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helping the college out and other alternatives need to be reviewed and better utilized such as the Pace Ride Share program. Or we could just start selling front-Ârow seats in classrooms to students.

He currently does a lot of wedding pho-Â tography but he says he really loves â&#x20AC;&#x153;the documentary, journal-Â istic styleâ&#x20AC;? the most. His advice to aspiring photographers is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be really persistent and edit. Keep your best work in the public eye and just keep going.â&#x20AC;?

New art in stairwells BIC stairwell art is rotated out, plenty more artwork in permanent collection storage COURTNEY CLARK
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Out of storage, art-Â work from the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection, featuring works by pro-Â fessional Chicago-Âbased artists, now graces stairwells in the BIC. Although most of these artworks ap-Â pear to be new, many of them are almost 30 years old and have been in storage at the col-Â lege. These works are all part of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection. Barbara Wiesen, art gallery curator at the college, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of renovations weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had no choice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to store a lot of artwork but ZH DUH QRZ WU\LQJ WR Ă&#x20AC;QG places to put them up.â&#x20AC;? Some of the faculty may have even seen some of the works before. Some of them were previously hung in the McAninch Arts Center lobby, the library, and other plac-Â es around campus. The current pieces will
remain in the BIC stair-Â wells for quite awhile. Wiesen said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideally, the goal is to rotate [the art-Â work] every 3-Â5 years.â&#x20AC;? The art was created by professional Chica-Â go-Âbased artists. The artists featured are Craig Anderson, Fred Bruney, Matthew Girson, Steven Hayman, Stacie Johnson, Paul Madalins-Â ki, Jacqueline Moses, and Robbin Murphy. Some of the works were donated to the collec-Â tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retaining Wallâ&#x20AC;? by Stacie Johnson, which is now up in BIC stair-Â well 5, was donated by Johnson to the college for â&#x20AC;&#x153;educational, aes-Â thetic purposesâ&#x20AC;? when she moved to New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Untitled (Scotoma) #6â&#x20AC;? by Matthew Girson, dis-Â played in stairwell 2, was also a gift of the artist. Wiesen said she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;anticipating new works being donated down the roadâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;excited to see the campus as kind of a public museum.â&#x20AC;?

Starving Artist
Name: Samantha Ragusin Major: Graphic Design and Management Age: 20 City: Naperville How would you de-Â scribe your art? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graphic design so I do a lot of logo design, poster design, and digi-Â tal illustration as well. :KHUH GR \RX Ă&#x20AC;QG inspiration? , Ă&#x20AC;QG LQVSLUDWLRQ WKURXJK music, family, and my friends inspire me a lot. I look at other artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work and try to think about how I can improve my work. What do you love about your art? 'HĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ P\ FUHDWLYH abilities. Depending on the project, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to come up with things I never thought of before. I never stick to a theme or concept so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always different. What do you hate about your art? Depending on the project, sometimes I might hate the way it comes out but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only when I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put in as much effort as I could have. I know not every project will be award winning but I always try my best. How did you get your start? I started because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve al-Â ways loved art ever since I was little. In high school my parents said I should take a graphic design class. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that interested DW Ă&#x20AC;UVW EXW UHDOO\ ORYHG LW once I got into the class and started designing artistic pieces. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to Dis-Â ney World next semester to work for them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taking a couple classes while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good experience. People you admire? 'HĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ P\ IDPLO\ , DG-Â mire how no matter what, my little sister can push through anything and come up with creative ideas. She ZLOO GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ EH D ELJ KHOS to me. My mom and dad have always been really encouraging and supported me in my art and told me to do what I love, so I am. Plans after COD? I plan on getting a bache-Â lorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in graphic de-Â sign and eventually working for an ad agency or graphic design company of some sort. I would like to design logos, posters, things like that for the rest of my life. What are some of your other hobbies? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Art takes up a lot of time. I spend a lot of time with friends and I also do a lot of creative writing and short stories.

COD gets hypnotized Alter Ego Productions brings in comedy hypnotist Frederick Winters to perform ROSALIE DEASTIS
COURIER FEATURES EDITOR
This past Wednesday, Alter Ego Productions hosted comedy hypno-Â tist, Frederick Winters to entertain and help with quitting smoking. Winters has per-Â formed over 2,000 shows, has hypnotized over 155,000 people, and Campus Activities Magazine named him 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best male artist. Winters kicked the show off with a brief introduction and jumped right into what every-Â one was anxious to see. He chose a handful of enthusiastic people from the audience, sat them down on the stage, and went on to put them in a state of mind where they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;sleepingâ&#x20AC;? but still aware of their physical beings and surroundings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is capable of being hypnotized and it is easier than you think,â&#x20AC;? Winters com-Â mented in the beginning of the performance.

Comedy hypnotist Frederick Winters begins to tell the crowd about the show in store. Ranging from simply forgetting information to acting out of the ordinary, Winters was able to keep the crowd, and participants, engaged. Winters had the volun-Â teers engage in a num-Â ber of comical activities such as dancing and riding horses, while in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;sleepingâ&#x20AC;? state. He also had them forget
their own names at one point, and one student was hypnotized to for-Â get the number four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so entertain-Â ing and interesting at the same time,â&#x20AC;? com-Â

Frederick also specializ-Â es in hypnosis for smoking cessation which took place before and after the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because COD has enforced the tobacco-Âfree campus rule, we decided we would have an event to help people quit smok-Â ing if they choose,â&#x20AC;? said Special Events Produc-Â er Erin Richardson. Alter Ego Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mission is to build com-Â munity with events that encourage positive in-Â volvement on campus. They hold many events each month and their next
one will be this coming Wednesday on Halloween. They will be having a Halloween party with con-Â tests and free food. Other upcoming events this semester include Open Mics, a trivia show, Jam on the Side, and their End of the World party. They currently have Ă&#x20AC;YH SURGXFHUV DQG WHQ active members.

MAGRINI from last page silk screens for clients. He attended Warhol exhibits and analyzed his painting techniques and advertised in the New Yorker, New York Magazine, and the New Republic. Magrini and his wife even produced canvases for celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow. His latest return to art and silk-Âscreening since 1998 was when he was awarded First Place (and a cash prize) in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western suburbs (Hos-Â pital) Adventist Health Systems Breast Cancer Awareness Art Contest. Magrini had seen an ad in a local paper stating that this event was spon-Â soring an art contest for breast cancer awareness month. Contestants produced works that in some way related to the experience of enduring the disease, either in them or in a loved one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother-Âin-Âlaw is a breast cancer survivor, so I just thought of dusting off my old silk-Âscreens, printing implements, paintbrushes, and giving it a shot,â&#x20AC;? said Magri-Â ni about the contest. His winning artwork, which is panels that UHĂ HFW D FODVVLFDO WKHPH with a Pop Art sensibil-Â ity, and modeled after Warholâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silk-Âscreens of the 1980s, now hangs in a permanent collection on display at La Grange Memorial Hospital.
