Fall enrollment up
Tenth day enrollment was discussed and the 1.4 percent increase was celebrated at the board meeting Sept. 20.
Associate Vice Presi-dent of Enrollment Man-agement, Earl Dowling, made a presentation showing the increasing numbers of students who enrolled this fall.
Dowling said that many -
dents were increased in the enrollment percent-ages, especially incoming high school students, reverse transfer stu-dents and veterans.
Although there were many other groups of students that increased the college’s enrollment numbers, it is starting to focus more on grabbing the attention of the 19-24 year olds enrolling.
“Part of our vision is to be this district’s choice for [education],” Dowling said.
Dowling explained that he noticed parents approv-
choice for their students to
attend from the district.“This fall we had so
many positives from par-ents [because] they saw
-tion,” Dowling said. “Get-ting general education out of the way was a must.”
Dowling said that the college is seeing good signs from enrollment in all areas and that in-cludes the decreases from part-time enrollments.
Dowling also sees more students making COD feel more like a four-year college be-cause of the increase of full-time students.

“A team of people worked

Stock also said faculty that worked in the library were asked to design what
they would want their areas of the library to look like that they worked in.
Stock said the Dean, As-sociate Dean and herself put up a forum on a public site for the public, staff and students to respond
to.“We received input from
surveys, staff forums and questions we posted to students on a public wall about what they’d like to see in the library,” Stock said.
The library’s reconstruc-tion spending came from the referendum budget of $168 million and will cost a total of $33.4 million to complete. The project is expected to be completed in June of 2013.

“If you go downstairs in student activities and did not know where you were, [you would prob-ably think that you] are in the middle of a stu-dent union at a four year school,” Dowling said.
Dowling said the college will continue to keep the numbers increasing for en-rollment by strengthening their abilities to comfort the college’s students and incoming students as well.
“We’ll continue to build on our strength and when you set foot on campus, this feels like college,” Dowling said. “When you drive onto campus, you are not greeted only by asphalt and bricks, and that feels good to people.”
Dowling said that as consumers, people want good quality from everyday services.
“People will pay more for quality. Pe-riod,” Dowling said.

Rashid added that she liked Campus Central more than the library because she can talk and not feel out of place.
“You can’t get kicked out of here like you can in the library,” Rashid said.
First year student Sar-ah Rashid agreed with her and said it’s not just a place with couches, it’s a place for students.
“We meet new peo-ple here all the time,” Sarah Rashid said.
Not only can students meet other students easily at Campus Cen-tral, but students have easy access to all service desks that incoming freshman would need.

Help us, help you. It’s a delicate ecosys-tem. The college wouldn’t be here without the students, and the stu-dents wouldn’t be here without the college, but it goes beyond that. Faculty has a voice through the College of DuPage Faculty Associ-ation, as well as much more contact with admin-istration than the average commuting student to voice their opinions, con-cerns and questions, but faculty, administration and community feedback are all welcome as well. That’s why the Courier is here. As the student newspaper, we do our best to cover campus events,
out the answers to the questions you have but we can’t do it by ourselves. Students and faculty have come up to nu-merous editors to either
praise or question the paper, and the feedback helps, but it isn’t enough. When asked if they want to write a letter to the editor, or even be quoted in the newspaper, the answer we hear most often is ‘no’. The lack of participation, including other groups, campus activities and events has previously been dis-cussed, but this is moving into a different realm. As seven part-time stu-dent employees of the col-lege, we work as the staff to get the information out into the public, but we can’t cover everything that happens on the 273 acres that may involve part of the 27,034 full and part time students that the college caters to. That’s where you come in; let us know what’s going on and what inter-ests you. Did the tobacco ban or construction affect
you at all? Did the BIC South stairs opening allow you to get to class earlier than before? Instead of complaining to your friend about how much it sucks to have the ban, while sneaking a cigarette between classes, come up to BIC 3401 and talk to an editor about it.

Student involvement lets us not only know what is going on, but how it affects the school and student population as a whole. It will also allow us, the Courier staff, to get a better hold on what is important to the student population. All of our contact in-formation is available, and during most stan-
dard business hours there will be at least
to talk to who can pass the information on to wherever it needs to go.

and nothing since. The opinion section is just that; opinions. It gives the students, fac-ulty and community a public forum to discuss topics and share concerns or comments, and if it isn’t being utilized prop-erly, it is being wasted. Whether it’s more coverage on new campus policies or the best plac-es to study or relax on campus, let us know.

FEATURESA Look into Studying Abroad
From wine tasting in the Burgundy region of France, to kayak-ing in the Halong Bay of Vietnam – studying abroad offers a huge variety of opportunities to travel, learn, and experience the world and its many cultures. With a GPA require-ment depending on the program you choose and being at least 18 years old, almost any student can earn college credit in another state or country. “Studying abroad let’s students gain a differ-ent perspective about a certain interest they have or a career they’re going to,” commented COD Program Coor-dinator, Sue Kerby. A student can choose to participate in any of the three distinct kinds of studying abroad. Community members and graduates can reach out to COD if they have an interest in studying abroad as well. You don’t have to necessarily be

The visits are usually 3 weeks or less, and students can focus on a particular culture and subject such as French cuisine, or the history of Russia. Stu-dents can earn college credits in these inter-

international business and liberal arts class-es. Students can also
take classes in the lan-guage of their location, while taking classes in English as well. Costs depend on the program you choose to be a part of. One of the low-end opportunities offered is a trip to Canada that costs less than $1,000. But in general, most programs coast around $3,000 - $5,000. A semester long of studying abroad can cost up to $15,000. Most costs include air fare, meals, hous-ing, and other events such as museums and physical activities. There are many

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENTWDCB Making Waves
WDCB Public Ra-dio, 90.9 FM, current-ly housed in the OCC building is moving to a new facility in the
week of January. It will be located on the lower level of the SRC, past the book-store, and across the hall from the new fash-ion department area. The move will result in two new production facilities instead of the one they have now. They will also be converting from a hybrid digital analog environment to an all-digital environment. Scott Wager, the sta-tion manager, says this change will be “more conducive to the kind of work they are doing” and that the current equip-ment has lasted well beyond the predicted life. “(We have been) in-volved in the planning process for at least seven years or so, but it gained momentum in the last few years,” Wager said. The technical core will remain in the OCC for a while until the new space is ready for use and the staff has been trained to use the new system, including its 30 community volunteers. The move will include transporting their very large collection of com-pact discs and vinyl records. Wager says they started building the vinyl library in 1975 and have been constantly building and adding to it.

Although primarily a jazz station, Wager said “when people hear we’re jazz, there’s some preconceptions but we have a lot going on here.” For example, Monday night is Celtic music night and Tuesday night includes a folk music program. They are also starting a program called “Sounds of Brazil” next Wednesday at 7pm. A lot of the time they even have guest per-formers on the show. Wager said that often the performers are from around here because “we believe in localism as far as our product base is concerned.” They have three chan-nels which are controlled in one server room. One of these additional chan-nels includes a Spanish public radio operation. They also attend Chi-cago Jazz Festival, Blues Festival, and Hyde Park Music Festival in addi-tion to having one show a month at the Jazz showcase in Chicago. They have been on the air since 1977 and have listenership around the world.including Japan, the Nether-lands and Germany. On their 36th year on air, Wager says the “audience continues to grow, (we’ve) seen a lot of change over the years.” They now stream mu-sic on the internet and have a mobile applica-tion available for people to listen on the go. COD is also the only community college in the state with a radio station like this and it is the only station that offers full jazz content in the Chicago land area. Wager says the existence

The K Building is very

the faculty and students
have been making the
best of the situation.”
There are many stu-

the K Building to
the BIC in winter.
Sam Ragusin, a graph-

“The atmosphere (in
the K building) doesn’t
inspire me at all. It’s
very drab and kind of
gross. There’s no color
throughout. It’s boring.”
She also said it feels
very secluded from
the rest of campus.
“It’s really small and
there are only a few
rooms with computers.
There was much more

professor still in the MAC
says it’s “a bit lonely-we

The music faculty is

Chaps tame wildcats The Chaparral football team put on a dominating performance in Satur-day’s 49-21 win against the North Dakota State Science Wildcats. The Chaps were coming off of an ugly loss to then two ranked Iowa Western, 65-21, and were eager to erase the game from their memories. “You play the number two team in the country and make some mistakes early, it ends up like that,” Head Coach Gary Thomas said. According to Thomas, the team’s game plan for North Dakota was to out-play them defensively and in special teams and to run the ball on offense. For the most part, the team was able to stick to this game plan, but still made the adjustments when necessary. The Chaps wasted no time building momentum, as linebacker Michael Lafenhagen blocked the Wildcats’ punt on their
Fired up by the big play on special teams, the Chaps marched down the
back Tyreis Thomas’s sev-en yard touchdown run and never looked back. After rushing touch-downs by running backs
Jamar Kirksey and An-thony Messina and a 59 yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Johnny Holton, the Chaps had a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter. The Wildcats answered with a touchdown pass of their own but it was ev-ident that the game was becoming a blowout. The frustration seemed to be getting to the Wild-cats as they began com-mitting avoidable delay of game penalties and were clearly out of sync.
It reached the point where coaches on the sideline had to yell out the time on the play clock in order to urge the of-fense to hike the ball.
-get for the Wildcats, but one to build upon for the Chaps. The Wildcats struck quickly in the second half, taking a 65 yard end around to the house and bringing the lead down to two touchdowns. But the Chaps made sure that North Dakota’s
hopes for a comeback were short lived. Johnny Holton returned the en-suing kickoff for a touch-down to make the score 35-14. With the second half in full swing and a com-fortable lead, the Chaps’ defense stepped to close the game out. They forced three straight drives by North Dakota to end with turn-over on downs, becoming more pumped up with each stop. The Chaps offense
continued their success on
drive of the fourth quar-ter, capping it off with another touchdown run by Kirksey. The three headed mon-ster of Messina, Kirksey and Thomas combined for over 200 yards rushing and four touchdowns. “Our running backs really ran hard today and they gave us good oppor-tunities,” Thomas said. Quarterback Patrick Ivy threw 13 passes on

21 attempts for 118 yards and a touchdown. Coach Thomas believes this game was an important step up for the Ivy. “Patrick managed the game pretty well today, it was a huge step forward for him,” Thomas said. Despite the win, Thomas high-lighted the mistakes that the team made during the game and emphasized the importance of minimizing these. “We didn’t play fundamen-tally sound in a lot of different areas… we have to cut these mistakes out,” Thomas said. The team is now back to being nationally ranked in the Nation-al Junior College Athletic Asso-ciation (NJCAA) poll, coming in at number 16. The Chaps will become road warriors for their next three games, playing each of their next three opponents away from home, starting with Ellsworth on Saturday Sept. 29. Coach Thomas was asked if the multiple road games will have any effect on the team. “We’ll see, I’m not going to gauge our road experience on the Iowa Western game,” Thomas said. “I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself; we have to take it game by game.”
The Chaparral women’s soccer team held opponents scoreless in back to back games this weekend. In Friday’s rout of the Triton Trojans, the Lady Chaps scored seven goals and simply outper-formed the shorthanded Triton team. “Triton had 10 players, they didn’t show up with a full squad,” Head Coach William Fajkus explained. “The girls showed some enthu-siasm and I think we bounced back a little bit from Wednes-day.”
-
Nevarez right before the end of the half. “It was a tight game, we were all playing well,” Nevarez said. “It was a little slippery because
of the rain but we managed to pass and get the good job done.” But they weren’t done yet, Striker Inga Tebbe added two more goals to the lead in the
second half. Just as impressive as the offen-sive surge was the clean sheet by goalkeeper Raquel Salinas. “We’re like the Blackhawks, we’re looking for the hot goalie and hopefully we can make a run with her,” Fajkus said. Their second game in as many days was against the Rochester Yellowjackets . Unlike Friday’s game, in which the Chaps scored goal after goal, Saturday’s game remained score-less for nearly the entire two halves. Just when it seemed to be go-ing to over time, Tebbe scored a last minute goal to win the game for the Chaps, 1-0. The Lady Chaps will hit the road next to play at Oakton, Monday Oct. 1.
