HAMILTON AND WOZNIAK ON THE BOARD The Courier asks questions to future board chairmen Joseph Wozniak and

Kathy Hamilton who were voted onto the board after the elections on April 9.

:KDW�ZDV�\RXU�ÀUVW�reaction to winning the election?

Wozniak: I was hap-

py about winning the

election and all but I

am kind of disappointed

about candidate Carlin

not [being able to join

me].

Hamilton: I was very

pleased.

Why do you think you were voted into the board instead of the other four candidates?

W: I was greeting a lot

and I think people re-

sponded well to that.

I think the taxpayers

are the most important

people. I funded my own

campaign so I did not

owe anything. The only

people I owe are the stu-

dents and taxpayers.

H: The community heard

my message.

What are your goals for the new 6 years on

the board?

W: My plans are to push

for sustainability and

tuition as low as possible

and continue to do the

best job I can for the pub-

lic and the college.

H: 1. Keeping COD

affordable by ensuring

and improving programs

everyone at the college.

H: To listen, learn and

How will you handle any further tension between the full time faculty members?

W: I know there’s been

a lot of controversy with

that as far as signing the

contract and other things

aside from that at the

college. I think we should

work together as a board

to try to come up with

the best solution possible

for the college.

H: Find more avenues of

communication.

What will you bring to the board that is dif-ferent than the other candidates?

W: Ever since I joined

the board, I was the only

one who was ever push-

ing [sustainability]. Our

previous Board Chair-

men Mike McKenna was

talking to me a little

more about that and he

said that he was pushing

it but I was the only one

really pushing it at the

meetings because I was

the only one bringing it

up and talking about it. I

would like to create more

sustainability at COD

because I think that is a

very important thing.

Festival season is just around the corner and it is

beyond awesome that I have been receiving emails

from students asking me to teach them a little bit

about the dance music world. Friends, here are the

Cliff Notes of Electronica 101.

Far too much time had past since we had seen our favorite glow-in-the-dark rodent. We hadn’t seen deadmau5 in about twelve months, and by twelve I mean four... and that is four too many. It was 99 degrees in Chicago on the last day of Lollapa-looza; it had been raining off and on all afternoon. �����ZDV�WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�WKH�all-electronic stage had been added to the 20 year running festival that sees over 210,000 attendees over three days. This was DOVR�WKH�YHU\�ÀUVW�\HDU�D�dance music act would headline a mainstage, not to mention close out the weekend. Plus, said act just so happened to be de-buting a new stage set up, along with new material. Needless to say, we were ÀUHG�XS�� Watching the glowing city skyline dwarf the massive stage in front of it, we waited in the perfect spot for the show to be-gin, worried the impend-ing rain may ultimately doom our good time. The downpour began though, and it was not friendly. My brother and I looked at each other silently FRQÀUPLQJ�WKHUH�ZDV�QR�way this set was hap-pening when – almost on cue – the stage was ÁRRGHG�ZLWK�EOXH�OLJKW�DQG�Where My Keys began battling the storm, both OLWHUDOO\�DQG�ÀJXUDWLYHO\��The deck was stacked: last day of Lolla, favorite artist, stage production premiere, new song, epic rain storm. There was no way this would not turn out to be the best show of all-time. Or would it? “Was that not the most unbelievable thing you’ve ever seen!?” Little bro and

I just smiled and kept on trucking, walking with the droves of people leaving the festival raving about deadmau5. There was nev-HU�DQ\�FRQÀUPDWLRQ�WKDW�we were thinking the same thing until we sat down on the train with matching Eeyore expressions. It was written all over our faces: austere disappointment. The planets had basically aligned, and what should have been something to talk about forever just… wasn’t. We were confused. Had we become playlist snobs? Had we seen too many shows? Is there such a thing? What makes a show good or bad?There are so many things that go into a show: the location, the atmosphere, the crowd. Artists don’t always have a say in the where, who, how, when of a show, but they most GHÀQLWHO\�KDYH�FRQWURO�over the what; the setlist. I hear over and over again, that there is no more paramount sign of a great DJ set than walk-ing out of the club going, ‘I’ve never heard one of those songs but that was the best night of my life.’ While not completely true or false, the fact of the matter is, DJs are meant to be tastemakers and thus their sets thrive on being built up live to feed the need of their audience. It is possible that some combination of tunes that no one in the house has heard could be the optimal setlist for a show, but at the same time, a setlist with noth-ing but Beatport’s top 40 could make for ‘the best night ever’ too. Flip over to artist-only sets and it’s a bit different. Given the fact that the

artist is going to play their own records and not veer too far from that, the set-list already begins to build itself. However, the major make-or-break factor in a set like this is the order. Just as in a DJ set, there is a great time to play a certain song and a not so great time; the same goes for artist-only sets. When we saw deadmau5 at Lollapalooza there was a good 45 minute chunk in the middle where he played nothing but ambi-ent, down-tempo songs. There is no doubt that a set is built around the ups and downs - the peaks and valleys if you will - but a great setlist makes it a point to spend the correct amount of time on each portion. Everyone needs a break to cool off, relax and enjoy the music but if it is too long, the artist runs the risk of losing the au-dience’s attention. For an artist-only set it is imperative that the ordering of songs is built up just as it would be in a DJ set, only this time with the artist’s own compositions. One of the biggest deter-minants of a successful show is the energy be-tween crowd and artist. The best gift an audience can give is raw energy, which in turn causes

artists to select tracks that will move listeners and steer them in what-ever direction they are intending to go. It’s be-wildering when you think the DJ is literally reading your mind, but really, it’s the vibe being just right. That is the mark of a damn good show. The greatest enemy of any set is comparison, so when you go to ten fes-tivals a summer, shows begin to get predictable. Even if you walk into every different event with optimistic clean slate, chances are details will get tweaked but set struc-ture will remain similar. A large reason why so many fans go to festivals is because the hope is, the quality or scarcity of each act’s playlist will be greater than a regularly scheduled tour stop. These kinds of theories put supreme pressure on your experience, whether you are doing it subcon-sciously or not. We saw Bassnectar destroy his set at Summer Camp in southern Illinois last year, which made us even more pumped to see him again a few months later at the inaugural Electric Forest. So excited, that we even brought eleven hundred glowsticks to launch

into the crowd as a part of the ongoing Basshead tradition. Sadly, the set IHOO�FRPSOHWHO\�ÁDW�²�LW�dragged. So upsetting! Could it have been that after seeing Kaskade and Tiesto we just were not in the mood? The expectations we set for the show were proba-bly way too high. Does that mean it was a bad set or just bad timing? If we teleport back to Electric Daisy Carnival this summer we can study what is probably the best example of timing in dance music history. Here are hundreds of thousands of fans ready to see some outrageous sets from all the international titans of electronic music. Whether you were there or even just listened to the sets, you can spot the running song trends with little effort. Almost every set included some variation of the same ten songs. By the end of the second night we had heard Knife Party’s Internet Friends a dozen times. Any one of those sets in a different context would be one to talk about for eons, but because each ‘special’ set was back to back (to back), it made them all too common.(Continued on pg. 12; see DJs)

DJs (Cont’d from pg. 10) Probably the worst part about all of it was that we were all just like hun-gry dogs waiting for the next bone to get thrown into the pen! Even when there was a break from the repetition, say an artist-only set from Pret-ty Lights or Bassnectar, the crowd was too caught up in the playlist and it’s like we didn’t know how to function without it. We just sat there waiting and waiting for these sets to be over so we could all jump up and down again . At some moments I thought things were going to take

a turn for the complete-ly obvious until Armin van Buuren catapulted us into a legitimately ground-shaking cyclone of songs we could not recog-nize if our lives depended on it, and BOOM: instant best set of the festival – a wizard among muggles. So what kind of conclu-sions can we draw about sets and why they make us go bonkers or feel like we just missed the boat completely? A multitude of components all come together to make a per-fect moment, or there’s something that isn’t quite right. Ultimately the most

important truth of any show is that the artist has total control over what we’re listening to and at the core of any great set is the orchestration of where the set will take us at any given moment. On top of that, we also have to realize the non-musical experience is almost just as important as the tracks playing in the foreground. Whether it be the friends you’re with or the stage production and visuals, for the perfect set to play-out there has to be that one ex-tra piece of the puzzle that puts everything over the top and allows you to ride

the glorious wave that is the live performance. But MXVW�DV�LQ�VXUÀQJ��\RX�KDYH�to send out the good vibes, let things come to you and just roll with it. This year we got a chance to see Tiesto at Summerfest in Milwaukee. He played late at night in a large pavilion and we could only get lawn tickets, but that wasn’t going to stop us from seeing our favorite DJ on the planet. To be honest we weren’t expecting much considering our seats, the overall feel of the festi-val and the sound qual-ity. However that night, something we can’t explain

occurred and for two hours it seemed like all the plan-ets had actually aligned. :KHQ�WKH�PXVLF�ÀQDOO\�quieted down and we were on our way back to the car, we found ourselves in that same moment we had years before at deadmau5, but this time there was nothing but smiles on our faces and a lasting memo-ry forever burned into our hearts. Remember: the next time you head to a show, no matter how big or how small, just know that the perfect storm may come at any time. Sit back, relax and ride the rave.

It is time once again to break out your golf clubs, as the Student Veterans Association will host its second annual golf out-ing Saturday, May 11. The event will cost $80 per player and will be held at the Village Greens golf course in Woodridge with tee-time starting at 10 a.m. The $80 will provide each golfer with a full 18 hole round of golf and a riding cart, food and drink FDUGV�DQG�UDIÁH�WLFNHWV�� All proceeds from the event will go towards the Student Veterans Asso-ciation to help them get LQYROYHG�ZLWK�QRQ�SURÀW�organizations like the Wounded Warriors Proj-ect or the United Service Organizations, as well upgrading the Veterans

Lounge on campus. “If I’m not mistaken there are around 1300 veterans on campus,” Student Veterans Asso-ciation member Vinny Romano explained. “A lot of them don’t even know vets lounge exists.” According to Roma-no, there are 30 people currently signed up to golf but they are looking for more participants. “We had about 40 guys last year so we’re trying to double that,” Romano said. “We’d just like to get more of the college involved.” The club hopes to dou-ble the $1700 it raised WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�DURXQG� Romano believes that the club’s jump-start planning the event will help draw in more golfers. The club has been preparing for the outing since February as opposed to the 40 day time period

in which they organized the whole thing last year. “When you do it the ÀUVW�WLPH��LW·V�WULDO�DQG�error, but now we know the basics,” Romano said. “Last year we went into it with hardly any mon-ey. Now we have some money in our account which we can use to get PRUH�UDIÁH�SUL]HV�µ The Veterans Associ-DWLRQ�KRSHV�WR�UDIÁH�RII�prizes as good as the previous year’s, which in-cluded a free night in the Lisle Hilton, tickets to Six Flags and movie passes. “We hope for the same thing this year as well as getting restaurants in the area to help out, maybe with sponsor-ship,” Romano said. Students, faculty or anyone around the col-lege are encouraged to join the festivities. “This event isn’t just for the veterans asso-

ciation but also people of the college,” Roma-no said. “Hopefully we could even get some faculty out to golf and have a good time.” Those looking to par-ticipate in the golf outing should contact the col-OHJH·V�VWXGHQW�OLIH�RIÀFH�DW�630-942-2243; payment will be due by May 1. ���5RPDQR�LV�FRQÀGHQW�that, with success, the golf outing will be some-

thing that future student veterans will keep going. “We want to make the golf outing an every year sort of thing,” Ro-mano said. “We want to leave something for the next group [of student veterans] to come in.”

Veterans Association tees up for golf outing

,W�UHDOO\�LV�GLIÀFXOW�WR�call yourself a Cubs’ fan these days. It has been a dismal past few seasons and the saving grace that is supposedly Theo Ep-stein has not brought the Cubbies many victories.

Of course instant suc-cess is not expected for a franchise that has as many issues as the Cubs, but it would be nice to see at least some progress being made. Hot prospects like Starlin Castro and An-thony Rizzo have showed promise in their few seasons with the team, but their recent play has fans second-guessing. Castro is poor defen-sively and immature and both he and Rizzo can look undisciplined in the batters’ box, lack-adaisically swinging at crumby pitches. The good news is they’re both very young and have time to im-prove their game. However, the bad news is they are surrounded by incompetence, a los-

ing culture and deadbeat players like Alfonso Sori-ano whose embarrassing ODFN�RI�HIIRUW�RQ�WKH�ÀHOG�and poor attitude could have a negative effect on the younger guys. The pitching rotation is in desperate need of some consistency. Their best pitcher Matt Garza is on the Disabled List and the Cubs have no ace (not that they would even if Garza was healthy). Guys like Jeff Samardzi-ja and Edwin Jackson are far from what they need and the bullpen is a joke (i.e. Carlos Marmol). Don’t expect any break-ing of the Billy Goat curse this year Cubs’ fans, it will be yet anoth-er humiliating season. Final Verdict: NOT HOT, 55-107.
