Q&A / Josie Suter talks to the Courier about the Engineering & Technology Club and her love for STEM Vandy Manyeh · News Editor

(

)

You are going to fail at some point.

The people who get through are the people who are able to overcome those struggles and keep moving forward.

Last week, in between getting ready for finals, classes and tutoring, Josie Suter, the president of the Engineering & Technology Club had a one-on-one conversation with the Courier about issues pertinent to her club. Suter also had some tips for students struggling with their grades but would like to pursue a degree in a STEM-related field.

4 codcourier.org — 06 December 2017

Vandy Manyeh: What is your major?

Josie Suter: I’m majoring in Mechanical

Engineering. I wasn’t set on what engineering field I wanted to pursue when I started college, and that’s a large reason I chose College of DuPage.

VM: What led you to pursue a degree in a STEM-related field?

JS: First off, I’m a gigantic nerd. I love Math. Calculus was the first course that really interested me, and I had heard that you could use it in Physics and in other applications.

I specifically like engineering because it is a very creative, problem-solving

heavy field compared to other STEM fields.

VM: Last summer, you had the opportunity to intern at Argonne National Laboratory. How exciting was that?

JS: I loved it! My internship was more geared toward research than it was to engineering. My full-time work over the summer was preparing a lecture about my research to be given at the end of the summer. I got to network and learn about many different fields of research during my time

at Argonne. I’m so grateful to have been hired on as a co-op.

VM: Where do you see yourself years from now after school?

JS: Some of the goals aren’t engineering-related at all. I want to be fluent in Spanish and move to a different country. I also see myself as the leader of a company or an organization. I am also extremely interested in communication and teamwork.

VM: What’s happening at the Engineering and Technology club?

JS: A very big part of the club is the robotics competitions. We compete in two competitions: the Midwestern Robotics Design Competition and the NASA Robotics Mining competition. We also do a lot of STEM-related out-

reach targeting elementary and high schoolers in our community. In particular, we organize Engineering Olympics with COD’s STEM coordinator, and we are beginning STEM outreach events of our own because we have the resources to do so. This year we are designing several all-new outreach events for homeschoolers. On top of that, we began monthly speaker nights, increased our professional networking opportunities, and created a team to compete at a Rube Goldberg competition. One of the officers really enjoyed doing them in high school. So he took the lead and brought together a team. The goal of the competition is to make a complicated machine that accomplishes a simple task. It’s more of a fun anti-engineering competition. The purpose of

engineering is to increase efficiency and decrease complexity, but for competitions like Rube, you may have to open an umbrella or squeeze a tube of toothpaste with a series of simple machines. We have an awesome group this year and are accomplishing a ton!

VM: What are some tips for success as an aspiring engineer?

JS: A huge tip is to go outside of your bubble and talk to other students. We are all going through the same classes, and they are difficult, even impossible to get through by yourself.

If you reach out and collaborate, you have the opportunity to network and learn more than you would have otherwise.

VM: What opportunities are available to

students enrolled in a STEM-related program at COD? JS: There are a handful of STEM clubs so I don’t know why you won’t join if you were in a STEM program. We have the Biotechnology club, the Engineering & Technology Club, Society of Women in Engineering, Physics Club and the Astronomy Club.

Joining those is a great way to network and get experience on your resume that will help you in the future.

On top of all that, you have amazing teachers who care about your success in and out of their class. They really care that you are getting the subject material and the smaller class sizes aid in their ability to do so.

Getting to know them give you an advantage because they have the valuable connections that you don’t and can help you start your

career.

VM: I would like to pursue a degree in a STEM-related field. At the same time, I am struggling with my grades.

What can I do?

JS: You are going to fail at some point. The people who get through are the people who are able to overcome those struggles and keep moving forward.

It’s not going to be easy.

If you get through, that’s showing people that you can do it even if you don’t pursue a STEM field.

Even if you fail a class or two, just keep going.

VM: We have a huge STEM gap nationally and at COD. As a student, what are ways in which you think we can bridge that gap?

JS: It is a cycle difficult to break. I didn’t really see

people that I could look up to that were female in engineering. Without seeing my dad as a role model, pursuing engineering probably wouldn’t have ever occurred to me. I don’t think it should be easier for people to get into engineering based on their gender. You still need the same academic rigor and work ethic to get through school no matter what gender you are. However, I think there should be a better way for female students to get connected and interested in the field.

If I hadn’t joined SWE, I wouldn’t have met some of the amazing people that I know. It is really helpful to have that kind of support group to talk to each other, study together, and network.

and do activities outside of school. Even as a STEM student with school being so difficult, sometimes you need to just have fun doing what you love even if it’s extra work. It is important to make choices that will make you happy in the long term. A lot of people choose STEM because they think they will make a lot of money, but you won’t get through if you aren’t super passionate. I’ll exhaust myself by staying up all night doing problems, studying for a test, or planning something for Engineering Club, but I do it because I truly love it. I wouldn’t be able to handle my schedule if I wasn’t passionate about everything that I do.

VM: Any final words?

JS: It is nice to work 06 December 2017 — codcourier.org 5

FEATURES Accountability starts with the men who lead America Vandy Manyeh · News Editor

The fight is far from over with recent allegations of sexual misconduct carried out by members of the political class.

From media moguls to some of Hollywood ’s greats, the price for inappropriate actions has been paid -- termination of ser vice.

These are the same men who trumpet the cr y for accountability. Although many of these allegations haven’t been tried in a court of law, recent happenings suggest a gross level of preferential treatment that undermines the fight against sexual misconduct.

Bill O’Reilly was forced out of his role as Fox News Network analyst when allegations of harassment, a non consensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography surfaced.

Gretchen Carlson’s sexual harassment lawsuit was the end of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes’ career as a respected television executive and media consultant.

Current NBC “ Today ” host Meg yn Kelly also openly criticized the network’s lackluster

Americans nationwide are still tr ying to process recent revelations of sexual misconduct carried out by men in positions of authority.

approach to her claims of harassment when they were reported.

The allegations were authentic; the O’Reilly and Ailes’ drama showed the network millions of Americans tuned to for reliable news had a problem.

The network reacted by terminating their ser vices as a way to end a barrage of criticisms from rival entities and the public.

On the other side is a plethora of allegations against venerated men within the entertainment industr y. Har vey Weinstein is no longer in the mix as a Hollywood producer after women from within the industr y accused

him of inappropriate conduct. Reports even suggest he tried to hire a gossip writer to investigate his accusers.

viduals who have had to leave their positions after allegations of improper conduct.

The list is endless.

A bombshell allegation against the Today Show ’s Matt Lauer will cost him millions of dollars. One unsavor y account details actions that could lead to a future prosecution of Lauer. He ordered a woman to undress and locked the doors of his office with a remote he had under his desk. Lauer has since been axed from NBC.

But the irony exists when society is expected to support politicians who admit to inappropriate conduct.

Charlie Rose, Glenn Thrush, Steve Jur vetson, Louis C.K. Jeffrey Tambor, Ed West and Brett Ratner are a few of the many indi-

Al Franken (D-Mn) groped and forcibly kissed two women. He has since apologized to Leeann Tweeden for groping her in a photo that has gone viral since she made her claims public. He admits that his conduct was inappropriate, but he won’t resign. Franken is still believed to be the “Giant of the Senate.”

Jeff Hoover (R-KY ) admits to banter that was consensual despite claims that it was inappropriate. He is still a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives.

And Roy Moore won’t back off from Alabama’s Senate race despite stories of sexual misconduct with five teenagers.

Until we hold politicians accountable and do not support them regardless of their political affiliation, society ’s effort to bring an end to harassment appears to be doubtful.

No Peace (feat. YEBBA)- Sam Smith Genre: Pop Sounds like: ZAYN, Adele No Peace is one of the songs in the second studio from Sam Smith. It is reminiscent of many famous duets as it is in partnership with a beautiful playing of the piano. The two singers tell a beautiful story of someone looking to move on from a broken heart however it shows the pain and sorrow that comes with it. The voices of Smith and YEBBA complement each other so nicely it feels as though it is one. This song has the potential to be talked about for the Grammy’s when presented its opportunity. - Carlos

Starboy - The Weeknd Genre: Alternative R&B Sounds Like: Daft Punk, Drake The Weeknd’s song Starboy is a piece about fame and fortune. Starboy talks about how the people who listened and loved their music brought them to the top. The lyrics of the entire song rotate around the ideology of the fact that people listening to his music brought him here. Its almost a shout out against all the haters, seeing as how high class he’s become so why care about anything else? However, The Weeknd indefinitely references the pain that stardom can become, with how people become in love with a person they might not be. - Alizay

4:44 - Jay-Z Genre: Rap Sounds like: Pre-Graduation Kanye West Honesty bleeds brighter than any virtue. After Beyonce released “Lemonade,” Jay-Z had his back to the wall for the first time since the beginning of his career. His extreme success bleached his principles, and shoved him towards a life that he believed lacked consequences. “4:44” as an album shows Jay hasn’t lost his touch. As a song, it bloomed into an apology not only to Beyonce but to everyone who had higher expectations. -Lucas

Feel it Still - Portugal. The Man / Genre: Electropop Sounds like: Little Dragon, Passion Pit Delightful in sound and mood, Portugal. The Man’s “Feel it Still” vibed out all the popular radio stations of Chicago this past year.

With a catchy, unshakable beat any listener finds themselves humming, singing, or grooving out their whole body to keep up with this song’s unavoidable rapture. While it may not be new to anyone reading this paper, it is undoubtedly one of the defining songs of this era. Pairing beautifully with the current political climate, it’s almost as if Portugal is begging his listeners to keep fighting the good fight. - Hannah

Therapy dogs give COD students a boost of energy at Tuesday’s Relaxation Week event

Photos by Hannah Davis

Rid the stress of finals at the College of D uPage with Student Life’s Relaxation Week, starting Monday, Dec. 4.

To start pre finals week COD’s Student Life organization offered a free breakfast. Students who attended were able to mingle amongst each other--possibly to forget about finals for a brief moment--and gather some helpful study tips as well.

Tuesday saw the arrival of Fox Valley ’s Therapy Dog Club, bringing puppy power to COD as students played and pet the dogs.

Dogs have been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and relieve levels of stress significantly according to AnimalSmart.org.

Let your body and mind go on Wednesday, during the Mindful Meditation and Art Therapy portion of Relaxation Week. Meditation studies have effectively shown to lower stress and anxiety levels, two cohesive symptoms of to dreaded final exams. The mindfulness and calming of the body has also been proven to help sleep in case you find yourself pulling an all nighter learning

those last few definitions.

Head on down to Student Life at SSC 1200 on Thursday to put together your own personal spa kit, a perfect way to end the night of studying.

Finally, after you’ve pet therapy dogs and found yourself through meditation, celebrate National Brownie Day with complimentar y sweets from Student Life.

Daily consumption of chocolate has shown to lower stress according to Web MD.

Net Neutrality Repeal: The internet as we know it may be coming to an end Kimberly Wilson · Opinion Editor

Creative Commons

Break out the Eggos because Netflix’s uber popular hit ‘Stranger Things’ has been renewed for a third season! The excitement is palpable as you count down the months until you can return to Hawkins. That is, until find out your internet ser vice provider just launched their own streaming ser vice and slowed the speed on Netflix down so much, ever ything on it is basically unwatchable.

That could be our new reality if and when the Federal Communications Commision (FCC) votes to remove net neutrality.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) vote in opposition of net neutrality. The move

could ver y well turn the internet we know and love upside down.

In perhaps the simplest of terms, net neutrality is described by Allison Shapiro in an article posted on the Daily-Journal’s website as “the idea that internet ser vice providers — the largest are Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and Charter — must treat all websites equally. It ’s a cliche at this point to imagine the internet as a highway, but think of net neutrality in practice as enforcing a speed limit, preventing ISPs from fast tracking certain websites and slowing speeds on others.”

It ’s easy to see how

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINION EDITOR KIMBERLY WILSON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF JOSEPH MOLINO GRAPHICS EDITOR OLIVIA DEBOCK SPORTS EDITOR CARLOS PETERSEN PHOTOGRAPHER HANNAH DAVIS REPORTER BRIAN MCKENNA

14 codcourier.org — 06 December 2017

ending net neutrality could have a negative effect on the way we use the internet. ISPs would control the information presented online. W ithout net neutrality, small businesses could suffer, and freedom of speech could be threatened.

If businesses and/or websites interests don’t align with that of large ISPs, they could restrict or even outright block users from accessing their content.

Ajit Pai, the chairman of the FCC, has hit back against complaints of the repeal. “ The FCC would still require transparency,” Pai said, in an article on npr.org.

“Any business prac-

tice that would affect the offering of a ser vice has to be disclosed to the consumers, and entrepreneurs can understand exactly how these businesses are operated.”

That statement doesn’t address one of the biggest problems with letting Comcast and others become the gatekeepers to the internet. Pai is implying that if consumers know which companies won’t offer certain ser vices, they can simply sign up with another ISP that has all the ser vices they desire. However, all the internet ser vice providers in America aren’t available in ever y single community. Many people only have one option to

access

the

internet.

That explanation also doesn’t cut it for businesses. Just because a business might know which ISPs they would have a hard time growing with, doesn’t mean it automatically wouldn’t or couldn’t affect their company.

Right now we have the ability to access whatever we want on the internet without much restriction.

W hy make it so that only certain ISPs can give us certain information?

It just doesn’t make sense.

Despite heavy consumer backlash,, it appears the FCC may vote to end net neutrality. In that case, we

believe there should at least be places where we can access unbiased internet like public libraries and schools.

The internet is known today as a primar y destination to attain an endless supply of information.

Getting rid of net neutrality could ultimately mean limiting the information you can receive on the internet. Making it more difficult to find unfiltered, unbiased information appears to be a move that would benefit large ISPs and the government a lot more that it would consumers.

Red Grange Bowl showcases Chaps in blowout

Creative Commons

Carlos Peterson · Sports Editor

Asher O’Hara, Chaparral quarterback, passes to teammate as they conquer the opposing team.

There was a buzz Saturday afternoon in Glen Ellyn where College of D uPage was host to the annual Red Grange Bowl, a game dedicated to Harold Edward “Red ” Grange, a W heaton native, who is a former Illini legend. The community came out in full force bringing in the largest crowd of the year as the Chaps took on Mesabi Range for the much anticipated event for the community.

Q uarterback Asher O’Hara understood the mindset needed for a game like that.

“Going into the game I knew this was huge for my teammates, especially the sophomores, who are moving on after this year,” O’Hara said. “I knew I had to play all out to win this game.”

Although the atmosphere in the stadium was hot, the offense’s start was not.

The Chaps opened the game with a threeand-out. Jaylan W ilkerson of Mesabi Range knocked down the first pass from scrimmage. The lack of execution continued over the next two plays.

W hile the offense couldn’t get anything going, the defense dug its heels in and got after it. A fierce pass rush came to play as the Mesabi quarterback had ver y little time to throw. The Chaps’ Joseph Marshall had an easy interception dropped created by immediate pressure on the Mesabi quarterback.

Once the Chaps offense was able to get the ball back, they

16 codcourier.org — 06 December 2017

took full advantage, getting consecutive first downs for the first time in the game.

A play that seemed lost to a sack ended in spectacular fashion as quarterback Asher O’Hara broke from a muddy pocket to deliver a rainbow pass down the sideline. A circus play was made by receiver Alex Daubon, as he channeled his inner Mario Manningham for a spectacular over-theshoulder grab. The offense was able to put an exclamation point on the drive with a touchdown run from O’Hara on a broken play, putting the Chaps up 7-0 with 3:51 left in the first quarter.

As the offense was able to get its footing, the defense continued to assert its domi-

nance. Shannon Hall was a mainstay in the Mesabi backfield tallying two tackles for losses in the first quarter. Mesabi was grasping for anything to jump start their stagnant offense, but the Chaparral defense was playing as ferociously as they had all season.

The Chaps closed out the first quarter with a touchdown pass from O’Hara to Ray Vohasek in a nicely designed bootleg that put the Chaps up 14-0.

The Mesabi offense finally found some production by allowing their quarterback to scramble and create some plays. Despite the frustration of not being able to keep the opposing quarterback in the pocket, the D uPage defense kept the offense from cre-

ating any real threat.

The culmination of it all came when the defense was able to get pressure and the Mesabi quarterback fumbled the ball as he threw The defense fell on the ball and created great field position.

O’Hara led an attack that was humming. Alex Daubon then bested his previous catch of the year with an outstanding one-handed touchdown catch over a Mesabi corner that excited an already emotional crowd.

The next drive was much of the same.

O’Hara hit Xavier Johnson with a 26yard quick screen followed by O’Hara’s second rushing touchdown of the game.

O’Hara was impressed with the production.

“As the plays kept rolling, I just didn’t think that we could be stopped,” he said. “ We had too many weapons on offense. The line got going, and we just had ever ything rolling.”

The Chaparrals capped off an unbelievable 2017 campaign with a 35-0 whopping of Mesabi Range. After so much hype going into the game the Chaps captured the Red Grange trophy for the second consecutive year.

W ith Head Coach Matt Foster leading the team, the Chaps closed out the season with a 7-3 record.
