New MAC amphitheater: natural performance setting Starting in July and going through the fall 2011, the grassy courtyard connecting the MAC, PE Building and BIC will become the construction site for a performing arts amphitheater. The project is a collaboration with the Chicago chapter of the landscape architecture firm JJR, that has contributed to such large-scale city projects as the Loyola Lakeshore
campus and the mayor’s office refurbishment for the Near North Side neighborhood. “We are excited that the courtyard is receiving attention so that it may better service students and the college,” said director of performing arts Stephen Cummins. In the past, the space has been used for a variety of concerts, plays and other ac-
tivities including political rallies. With planning in the works since fall 2010, JJR’s conceptual designs produced in April show a large, round stage with natural lawn/stone seating for 1,500 to 2,000 maximum capacity. Detour routes are expected as outdoor access between buildings becomes unavailable during construction.

MEN’S SOCCER Coach - Jim Kelly; Team Record 12-6-2 The Chaparrals started the season with 6 straight wins and eventually trekked past Kennedy King College and Moraine Valley College in an overtime win until they were eliminated in the Region IV Playoffs. WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL Coach - John Pangan; Team Record 10-21 The Women’s Volleyball team led by John Pangan won only one more game than the previous year.

MEN’S FOOTBALL Coach - Fred Fimbres; Team Record 7-5 Five years in the making, Fimbres led the Chaparrals to their first bowl game victory since 1995. In a 20-14 win, the Chaps dispatched Coffeyville Community College (KS), securing the Graphic Edge Bowl hosted by the University of Northern Iowa. It was a stepping stone of success for the football program. CROSS COUNTRY Coach - Matt Wilhite Jumping up to Division I, Wilhite made a big splash in his debut year as head coach. The men’s team finished second in the Regional Championship and along with three athletes from the women’s team, qualified for the national championship in Spartansburg, SC.

Athletes use COD as stepping stone Handfuls of athletes from the college have tasted the professional limelight, which should help add testament to the fact that current Chaparral athletes’ dreams can come true. Most recently, Adam Ruud, who played his sophomore season for the Chaparrals, is playing soccer with the Charlotte Eagles in the United Soccer League. Tom Pukstys began his career as a javelin thrower in high school and carried it in to College of DuPage where he threw an American junior

Athletic facility naming honors COD’s coaches Four physical education greats of COD have been honored with facility naming rights. The Board of Trustees decided to pay tribute to the efforts of these legendary faculty with ceremonies at each location to celebrate. • Herbert Salberg Outdoor Athletic Complex is named after the former faculty member and athletic director from 1967 to 1992. He led the ice hockey team to three national championships and helped design the Physical Education Building. When Salberg retired, he was the dean of physical education. • Ronald Ottoson Outdoor Track is named after the coach who helped the men’s and women’s track teams rise to prominence over his full-time faculty career from 1968 to 1994. Ottoson has been a part-time faculty member since 1999. • Robert MacDougall Football Field is named after the most successful community college football coach in history. While coaching, MacDougall also
was a counselor, ensuring that his players would be exemplary citizens. He was employed at the college from 1978 to 2000, and retired as a full-time PE faculty member. • Don Klaas Basketball Floor is named after the driving force behind the success of COD’s men’s basketball. He is the most successful community college basketball coach in Illinois and is ranked eighth overall nationally among community college coaches. He is the third most successful active coach and has been employed at COD since 1978, serving more than 30 years as men’s head basketball coach. The naming of the four athletic facilities continues the Board of Trustees’ tribute to the greats of the athletic department after Sark Park Softball Field and Albert Zamsky Natatorium were named in 2001 for former coaches Sevan Sarkisian and Albert Zamsky, respectively. Last year, $1.7 million in new signage included honorary names that can be viewed in each coach’s respective facilities. According to Associate Dean of Athletics Paul Zakowski, the Board of Trustees could honor physical education greats with other athletic facilities such as the new tennis courts and baseball field.
Championship. The college won six straight NATYCAA Cup trophies honoring excellence through championship competition from 2004–2009. Most recently, the football team led by head coach Fred Fimbres won the Graphic Edge Bowl against Coffeyville Community College marking COD’s first bowl game victory since 1995. Despite changes and challenges from divisional changes such as Track and Field moving up to Division I from Division III, teams remain competitive and continue to produce results.
The Physical Education building is due for major changes as longevity and improvements to facilities come into focus. Associate Dean of Athletics Paul Zakowski is one of the forerunners for new additions and changes. His Paul Zakowski vision spans over the course of the next three years. Aesthetic upgrades expected for this year include landscaping and planting trees around the new soccer complex located south of the Student Resource Center, which will be hosting it’s first season starting fall 2011. Addressing the prominent issue of parking, Zakowski said that a new parking lot will replace the tennis courts on the east side of the PE building, and help to relieve the congested south parking lots. New tennis courts and the parking lot probably will start to be built this summer, Zakowski said. Major changes will be discussed and planned in summer 2012, Zakowski said. “We hope to add classroom space, lockers, film and strength facilities.” Racquetball courts will be replaced by a “Mind and Body wing” that includes multi-purpose dance and aerobic classrooms. With more classroom space, students and community members will see improvements to locker rooms as part of the renovation initiative. “We’re excited about these changes and the future of the PE building,” Zakowski said. Zakowski has been in athletics for over 15 years. He has a master’s degree in Physical Education/Sports Management from Western Illinois University in 1995.
Work your brain and your body Exercise and body conditioning is a year-round activity for 300 student athletes, and another 300 to 400 regular users in the Physical Education and Community Recreation Center on COD’s main Glen Ellyn campus.
