POLICE REPORT: Male student harasses two female students in college parking lot

A male student was

walking along the park-

ing lane when two female

students, driving a red

Oldsmobile, honked their

horn at him and did not

expect a negative reac-

tion at approximately 1

p.m. on Feb. 27.

The male student walk-

ing past then threw the

WZR�IHPDOHV�WKH�ÀQJHU�several times while yell-

ing profanity at them.

The two female stu-

dents thought the male

walking down the lane

was a student they knew,

but with his reaction they

quickly realized they

were wrong.

The male student not

only shouted profanity

at the two young women,

but kicked a garbage can

and threw a snowball at

their car as well.

The male student then

walked up to the two

student’s car, opened the

NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE OFFERS:

Recently hired Assis-

tant Deans Kirk Over-

street and Mark Collins

have been brought to the

college to make a differ-

ence for the part time

faculty members.

With Overstreet com-

ing from a background

in human resources and

Collins coming from

management, the col-

lege has the best of both

worlds.

Although Collins has

been with the college

since November of 2011,

the addition of Over-

street has helped gain

initiative for the hiring

process of the part time

faculty.

Overstreet came from

the University of Illinois

in Chicago where he was

an associate director of

human resources and

on Sept. 24 last year,

the college opened a job

position that Overstreet

FRXOG�ÀW�ZHOO�LQ�According to Over-

street, becoming the

new assistant dean was

almost natural.

“It’s like coming home,

but it’s all changed,”

Overstreet said.

Before Overstreet came

back “home” to the col-

lege, Collins had been

working with the adjunct

faculty for around two

years.

Collins used to work

as a training manager

at McDonald’s and an

employee/owner of the

tutoring company Sylvan

Learning Center.

Collins then got his

Doctorate in Chicago and

later learned about the

open position as Assis-

tant Dean at the college.

“I like to study how

people teach,” Collins

said once asked about his

position.

Collins and Overstreet

have grown close since

Overstreet started last

year and although they

seem like Ying and Yang,

they share the same goal.

“We are working on

building the best adjunct

faculty,” Overstreet said.

Collins agreed and said

that since they’ve start-

ed observing more than

200 faculty members all

together.

Along with observa-

tions, Collins has created

a database to help track

the teacher’s progress

and said that teachers

really appreciate the help

and feedback.

´,W·V�KDUG�WR�ÀQG�D�MRE�that is really useful,

where people really

appreciate what you’re

doing,” Collins said.

close to the two females, a witness from the car in front of the young women got out to ask if they were alright.

The male witness walked around the parking lot to make sure the angry stu-dent was gone and it was safe for the two women to get out of their car.

Once the area was safe, the two female students went to class but then left shortly after to make a police report.

The two female students told campus police what KDG�KDSSHQHG�DQG�ÀOHG�D�report on the violator.

The violent male was said to be wearing a teal blue sweater, gray sweat pants, could be around 6 feet tall and was seen carrying a dark backpack that eve-ning on Feb. 27.

Campus police tried to locate the male but could QRW�ÀQG�KLP��VR�SROLFH�JRW�in contact with the witness to further identify him.

There has been no further information on the identity of the violator.

The instructor told cam-pus police that he noticed WKH�VKHOO�RQ�WKH�ÁRRU�QH[W�to the table where the rod bins were located early that morning.

The instructor said that he does not know who would have dropped the shell, but that there was a class in that room the night before until 9:50 p.m.

Campus police asked the instructor if there have been any problems between students or staff members, but the instruc-

tor said that as far as he know everyone gets along.

The instructor informed police that the room is always locked at the end of the night and he only has classes on Saturdays and Tuesdays.

Police investigated the casing and found that it was a Winchester 9mm and silver in color.

A student was sleeping on a bench near the K Building when his cell phone was stolen out of his front pocket on Feb. 28.

The student told campus police that it must’ve been stolen between 4:30 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.

The student said that he tried calling his phone but it would go straight to voice mail as if it were turned off.

The student’s cell phone is a black iPhone 4S with a black and silver case.

The student continued to describe his phone plan and that he needed to make a report to get a new phone from his insur-ance.

The student agreed to sign criminal complaints if the person who stole his phone is found.

panied the student since she does not know how to speak English very well.

The supervisor told cam-pus police that at approxi-mately 4 a.m. the student was taking out the gar-bage on the Culinary and Hospitality Center when she slipped.

The student said she didn’t want medical help but her back hurt and she felt slightly dizzy.

The supervisor then told police that she is giving permission for the student to drive home.

Campus police gave the student a Gallager and Basset injury form to complete and turn into Human Resources.

com reported, and was

FRQÀUPHG�E\�DVVRFLDWH�vice president of market-

ing and communications

Joe Moore, the college is

investigating allegations

of “fraudulent practices,

favoritism, and bully-

ing” from students that

were enrolled in the

sonography program

from last Fall semester.

Five women stepped

forward and said that the

program accepted tuition

and gave grades for a

class that never existed;

DMIS:1111 - Clinical

Education I. The women

also said that they re-

ceived their money back

and the grades were taken

off of their transcripts,

but according to the ar-

ticle on mysuburbanlife.

com, those who did not

speak up may not be in

the same predicament.

The class is only avail-

able during the Fall

semester, and did not

show up in the current

Spring course listing

catalogue for that rea-

son, according to Moore.

In addition to the claim

RI�D�IDOVLÀHG�FODVV��WKH�

students also state that

program leaders gave pref-

erential treatment to stu-

dents through favoritism

and for those that weren’t

as lucky, were belittled

as a form of bullying.

The article also states

that students were de-

nied the option of tap-

ing practical exams and

students were sometimes

named that would not

pass into the next semes-

WHU�EHIRUH�ÀQDO�H[DPV�RU�grades were given out.

In these changing times,

when so much is uncer-

tain about futures or the

job market, education is

imperative to ensuring

success. The college is sell-

ing the ability to learn and

make a person more mar-

ketable out in the world.

While the college holds

its cards fairly close and

the investigation con-

tinues to look into the

allegations, the import-

ant part to remember

about the whole situation

is the opportunity that

the college affords. If

the students’ claims are

true, that opportunity for

education that the college

has increased through its

availability compared to

other institutions, is all for

naught and should create

better structure in the

programs. Look for upcom-

ing coverage both print

and online as more infor-

mation becomes available.

COD’s Asia Club pro-motes diverse Asian cultures in a culturally diverse environment including history, art, music, sports, and food. They are dedicated to ex-panding their knowledge of the different parts of Asia, which they believe is more important than

ever before because of its economic importance and because of the increasing number of Asian people living in our communi-ties. They currently have around 50 members and sometimes collaborate with other cultural/ethnic clubs such as Chinese Club and Japanese Club.

Every year they hold a Spring Cultural Show here at the college to help promote what their club

is about – focusing on a “kaleidoscope of cultures,” as advisor Lubna Haque likes to describe it.

The event calls for indi-viduals wanting to share their talents such as lay-ing musical instruments, singing, dancing, fashion show, reciting poetry, per-forming comedy, or some-thing else of this nature with an Asian theme.

“We are open to partic-ipation of people of all

different cultures and religious groups,” com-mented Haque.

Auditions will be held March 15, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in room BIC 1406. The show will be April 11 from 1 to 3 PM. If someone is unable to make it to the auditions, they can send a short video to Vienna Sou, Asia Club president, at souw dupage.edu by March 14.

COMICS

11COURIER • MARCH 8, 2013

Last Friday students were invited to attend a panel discussion in the MAC building featuring some of journalism’s local trailblazers; including NBC’s Dick Johnson and Fox Chicago’s Tammie Souz-sa. Stories were shared, advice was given and laughs were had by the faculty and students that sat-in on the event which included brief introductions of each panel member then opened up for questions. Instead of writing an article on suc-cessful adults imparting wisdom onto students or about Dick Johnson’s cam-eraman who, under pressure, cannot distinguish his left from his right; let us revisit the experience through the mind of a teacher that brought his multimedia journalism class to the event: Professor David Felix. The COD mass communications profes-sor knew his writing and reporting class ZRXOG�JUHDWO\�EHQHÀW�IURP�VRPH�UHDO�world savvy, and be it that I happen to take the class, I can testify to the panel’s usefulness. I had a chance to sit down with the University of Illinois graduate and get his insight as to how to apply the panel discussion to class, a profession in journalism and far beyond. Caroline Koch: Do you think the panel adequately portrayed the industry? Professor Felix: Yeah, it was interest-ing to hear the different aspects. I really liked the fact that there was the producer there, Sunmee (Choa; ABC). I really liked her perspective because most likely, if you are going to work in this business, producer is what you should study. I was really happy to hear her story. If it was just reporters and anchors it would have felt like the students need more than that so, I’m glad they had Tammie, a weather person there to add another angle to the on-air position. The sports producer (Nev-in Nelson; CBS) was great because the guys in my class want to be sports guys and I think that spoke to them. CK: How about the radio director? He had a COD name tag on. PF: Yes he’s the news director here at the radio station. Working radio is really cool. It presents another angle but from a broadcasting side, and you start to see how the departments come together. Everyone does a little bit of everything in a radio station so I was interested in what he had to say. Especially since radio is kind of a dying thing with young people, I was excited for him to be there representing a great way for college kids to get into broadcasting on an entry-level. CK: Dick Johnson said, “it’s a young person’s business again” in refer-ence to the journalism industry. Do you agree with that? PF: There are a couple things I do agree with. There is the importance of social media, the ability to be hip and cool, and just growing up with the Internet. Young people are less technophobic and more involved with technology than older people and I understand that. There is also a credibility issue though, especially with hard news; you can’t put a 24-year-old on the news. Your parents would much rather hear from Dick Johnson. CK: Wow, I always thought the younger generation had the advan-tage but credibility is something I didn’t think about. PF: That’s not to say it is everybody. Obviously I have to be tech-savvy, I teach a multimedia class in a growing industry.

I do have a friend that teaches technology classes and doesn’t have a smart phone or understand the concept of a DVR… he’s a dinosaur. But I guarantee there are Dick Johnsons out there that will say it’s a young person’s game… CK: Because they don’t want to evolve or adapt! PF: Exactly. But they have the credibil-ity that young people don’t have so, they should. CK: Each person on the panel mentioned that personal style is paramount to suc-cess in the business; is there anything you would add to that? PF: Yes, even though someone you might admire is really good at something, you still have to be yourself and not try to FRS\�VRPHRQH��<RX�KDYH�WR�ÀJXUH�RXW�how to tell a story in your own way, and you have to have the basic fundamental skills. My boss told me this story when I was starting out as a talent agent: Pica-so could draw you perfectly, but then he decided to draw you abstractly. He didn’t skip the fundamental part just to look for his own voice. Don’t skip learning to be conversational or key things like writing well. Learn the fundamentals, master WKHP��DQG�WKHQ�ÀQG�\RXU�RZQ�YRLFH� CK: Nevin (sports producer; CBS) end-ed the session on a slightly ironic note, quickly advising the audience to “have a thick skin.” Can you expand on this a little considering you have been a talent agent? PF: That was different from my genera-tion to your generation, you know? The coddling. Everyone has to get picked for the team now, and that didn’t happen when I was a kid so it was a bit easier to develop that thick skin. Having said that, you have to be able to take criticism in this business. There are different avenues WR�H[SORUH�LQ�WKLV�ÀHOG��EXW�\RX�KDYH�WR�EH�able to take criticism. You have to devel-op those internal mechanisms that allow you to take it, get better and not take it personally. CK��'R�\RX�IHHO�RXU�FODVV�EHQHÀWHG�IURP�the panel? PF: I’m going to be honest with you. At ÀUVW�,�ZDV�D�OLWWOH�ZRUULHG�DERXW�WKH�VL]H��but after hearing what they had to say I thought it was really good. One of my students, Chris, got really inspired by it – he was really jacked up afterwards. For

some of the kids who don’t know what they want to do yet, I think it was good for them to see some real professionals and see how it all tied in – it made it more tangible – and that was cool. CK: If you were on the panel, what would be your takeaway for the audience? PF: You know this from taking my class; I really try to push my students. I know not all of you are jacked about being journalists but I don’t just want to teach to the four of you. It doesn’t matter what you’re going to be. There’s a lot of value to learning this and study-ing this aside from knowing how to write for a paper, and that’s what is really important. The communication ability, the writing ability, dependability, reliability and the ability to use design tech-nology is giving you a head-over-heels advantage over others. Re-member, the higher up the management chain you get, the better you are going to have to be at all of these skills; learning them now is such an advantage. That’s what I like to teach my kids, and I think that came out at the panel too.
