Pilot study program finds success, seeks expansiontarting in November,the college will betraining students tobecome SupplementalInstruction leaders

after the successful run of theSI model in two pilot classesthis semester.Supplemental Instruction

Peer Assisted Study Sessionsare being utilized in two sec-tions: Professor Mary New-berg’s Principles of ChemistryI course and Professor JimBradley’s Precalculus I courseto test the model’s effective-ness in getting students tobetter understand class mate-rial and improving test scores. Bradley believes that the

program will benefit studentswho participate in the ses-sions. Newberg says thatthrough the sessions studentswill learn skills that they canapply to other courses. Math instructor Robert Cap-

petta is also applying a modi-

fied version of the SI model tohis classroom. Cappetta saidhe is, “letting study groupsgrow organically,” but willthen “intervene strategically,teaching them strategies formore effective studying”.

In Supplemental Instructionan SI leader prepares and di-rects the SI session, an interac-

tive, activity-based studygroup that covers class mate-rial, according to the model. The model also states that

the SI leader is supposed to bea former student who wassuccessful in the class. How-ever, the college is testing thepilots with paid tutor AnaKrstic, enacting the role of theSI leader for this semester.

The sessions are not thesame as tutoring, AcademicSupport Coordinator RaeMaslana tells the Courier.

A key distinction is that in SIsessions, the SI leader attendsall classes with the studentsthat come to the sessions, ac-cording to Maslana. Another difference is that SI

targets “historically difficult”courses that are known to behard for students and doesnot target the students them-selves, Maslana said. Also, Krstic “prepares a ses-

sion like a teacher prepares alesson plan,” instead of justanswering questions studentshave, Maslana said.

To prepare for these ses-sions, the SI leader meets oncea week with the class instruc-tor to develop a plan on whatto cover and how to cover it,according to Krstic. In the ses-sions, students are shown“how to study and what tostudy,” Krstic said. She told the Courier that reg-

ular SI sessions are used to goover the most difficult thingsfrom class, but that sessionsbefore exams cover the mostimportant concepts.Connie Cosgrove, a student

of Bradley’s 1431 math classclaims that the SI sessions are“very helpful,” … “She(Krstic) expands on what weare working on.”

Cosgrove’s classmate con-curs saying that they “getmore interaction than in class,working with fellow class-mates,” in the sessions.

Maslana believes that so farattendance has been“healthy,” with 13 students onits best day and two students

“District 502 is one of theareas that has the greatestgrowing need in Illinois,”Dean of Continuing Educa-tion/Extended Learning JoeCassidy said in his English-as-a-Second Language programreport at the Sept. 15 Board ofTrustees meeting, in responseto growing concern that ad-ministration was ignoring theprogram’s needs.

According to Grant Compli-ance Manager Daniel Deasy,enrollment for ESL in FiscalYear 2010 for unduplicatedstudents was 5,238, whichthen decreased to 4,480 in FY2011.

The decrease in enrollmentis said to be caused in part by“less flexibility in the work-place,” according to Cassidy.

The ESL program offersover 200 sections each term,with flexible scheduling and achoice of eight, 12, or 16-weekcourses for students, with 25-30 locations possible througha variety of partnerships thatinclude community centersand churches.

Cassidy told the Board thatthe program’s enrollment, “isa concern to all of us.”

In 2010-2011, the programfaced a 14 percent decline inenrollment, according to Cas-sidy, but that it mirrored thestate average.

According to 10th day fig-ures, enrollment has de-creased by 40 percent,however if looking at undu-plicated students, “we’re onlydown about 10 percent,” Cas-sidy said.

He states accountability asbeing critical to “students inthe classroom, communitymembers, to the funders atthe state and federal level, aswell as to the tax payers ofthis area.”

The program is seeking to

Hazardous Materials Coor-dinator Trisha Sowatzke wasrecently recognized by the En-vironmental ProtectionAgency after her department,Environmental Health andSafety, met its goal of elimi-nating 1.5 pounds of mercuryfrom the Berg InstructionalCenter renovation area, im-proving the safety of con-struction workers on campus.

“It was a great honor to re-ceive recognition from theUnited States EnvironmentalProtection Agency for fulfill-ing the goals that we had es-tablished under the NationalPartnership for Environmen-tal Priorities program,”Sowatzke said.

The program, Sowatzkesaid, “encourages members intheir efforts to reduce and/oreliminate the use or release ofpriority pollutants by settingand meeting goals associatedwith source reduction, recy-cling and recovery opportuni-ties.”

The EHS Department’swork was recognized at theSept. 15 Board of TrusteesMeeting, where Sowatzke waspresented with the NPEPaward by Janet Haff from theUnited States EnvironmentalProtection Agency.

“She (Sowatzke) was proac-tive,” Haff told attendees ofthe Board of Trustees meeting.Haff labeled mercury as being“very dangerous” and quali-fied the EHS’ work as a “hugeremoval.”

The department’s goal wasto eliminate 1.5 pounds of

mercury by December 2011,according to the EPA web-site’s spotlight on the col-lege’s accomplishment.

The project lasted fromMarch 2010 to June 2011, ac-cording to Sowatzke, where“over 30 sink traps, sectionsof fume hoods or duct workwere removed and sent formercury reclamation,” ac-cording to the EPA website.

The department “createdobjectives and guidelines tobe followed as the BIC reno-vation activities began inareas which previously heldlaboratories known to usemercury containing devicesand heavy metal com-pounds,” Sowatzke said.

The project objective was tosearch for mercury in all draintraps, associated piping andin the fume hoods of laborato-ries which were scheduled forrenovation, according to theEPA website.

Any contaminated areaswould be professionallycleaned or removed by a haz-ardous material waste con-tractor prior to renovation ordemolition activities, accord-ing to the EPA website.

“Your environmental leader-ship has demonstrated thatchemical management canimprove an organization’s en-vironmental and economicperformance,” stated a June 1letter from the EPA to the col-lege.

“As this project concludesthe College of DuPage EHSdepartment looks forward toworking with the USEPA inorder to evaluate and addressadditional goals,” Sowatzkesaid.

vide between her classroomand where the sessions are lo-cated is contributing to lowerattendance, in regards to herstudents’ attendance of the SIsessions.

Newberg hopes that SI willcontinue if the numbers forattendance increase whenconstruction is completed.

Dean of Learning ResourcesLisa Stock said that they willbe analyzing how studentsare performing at the end ofthe term, most likely througha grade comparison from pre-vious section scores. According to Stock, the goal

is to get the core set of 20 fac-ulty members together to de-

termine what class theyshould expand the programinto next.

Stock also said that on Oct.18, both Newberg andBradley will be doing a“break-out session” at the in-service day for those inter-ested in the program.The SI program originated

from the University of Mis-souri at Kansas City, accord-ing to the SI SupervisorManual constructed by theCurators of the University ofMissouri.

Maslana said she is, “veryexcited about this pilot. It’s offto a great start.” She feels thatthe program can only get bet-ter next semester.

The expectation is that theprogram will most likely bedown a little, but not a signifi-cant decline in unduplicatedmeasures, Deasy said.

Cassidy reports thatwhereas before the programreturned a loss each year, thatin 2010 the program returnedover $100,000 in financialgains, has contributed a sig-nificant gain of $1.1 millionfor 2011, and is predicted tocontribute a $1 million gain in2012.

The presentation was “veryhelpful,” claims Bill Alrich, amember of Faith LutheranChurch, acting as a memberof the DuPage United groupthat has shared their concernabout the ESL program at pre-vious board meetings.

Alrich said he was veryhappy that most of their is-sues concerning ESL were ad-

dressed during the presenta-tion.

“The college is the largestprovider of adult education inDistrict 502,” Cassidy said.

The college recently re-ceived a $1,821,534 grant fromthe Illinois Community Col-lege Board, for FY 2012, “tosupport FY 2012 adult educa-tion and family literacy pro-gramming,” according to acollege press release.

PointCounterPointhe expanding culturalphenomena of socialmedia thrives because

it gives individuals an outletto freely express themselves,much like the protectiongranted by the First Amend-ment.

Nobody should fear losingtheir job because of their per-sonal opinions, in public orwithin the confines of their so-cial circles.

Recently the Na-tional Labor Rela-tions Board ruled thatemployees cannot be fired forwhat they post on Facebook.

There is no obligation to likeyour co-workers, therefore,employees have the right tovoice their personal distastesoutside of the work place.

The tricky area is how nega-tive opinions on social mediaaffect the workplace. Oncepersonal opinions detract fromthe employee’s job perform-

ance, then it no longer be-comes an issue of what isposted online but rather officeconduct and expectations.

These two are separate is-sues. Whether or not an em-ployee likes their boss isirrelevant as long as they areadequately doing the job.

Suppressing opinions in thename of a better work place isarguably counter-productive.

Disagreements arisein almost every facetof life, not just the

work place.Communication between

employers and subordinates iscrucial because conflict is natu-ral. Using the fear of firing em-ployees for having differentoutlooks distances the twogroups.

Instead, opposing viewsshould be embraced and re-solved cooperatively, settingbetter examples for other em-ployees should tension rise.

he 2010 CareerBuilderarticle “9 Ways to GetFired by Social

Media,” says that in 2010, 21percent of companies withmore than 1,000 workers havedisciplined employees for vio-lating social networking poli-cies, according to a survey byProofpoint Inc., an e-mail se-curity company.

About nine percent havefired an employee for these vi-olations, more thandouble from fourpercent two years ago, accord-ing to the article.

These numbers show thatcompanies have an investedinterest in their employees’behavior through socialmedia.

A Facebook profile is public,so what you say on yoursshould matter.

Privacy settings on yourprofile are irrelevant. If youpost something on the Inter-net it is no longer private, it

becomes public.Posting derogatory com-

ments about your boss or yourjob can affect theworkplace environment. Itprevents issues from beinghandled through thecorrect channel of discussion,with your employer.

Managers are responsiblefor maintaining a level of pro-fessionalism and camaraderieat work, and they must stop

behavior that contra-dicts this. If an em-

ployee saying, ‘I hate my boss’can get them fired, postingthat message through socialmedia should have the samereaction.

Lastly, saying negativethings about your boss onlineis unprofessionalbehavior. If you can’t bringyour issues to your boss in arespectful, professional way,then you probably aren’t pro-fessional enough to be work-ing there in the first place.

Shoud employees be punished for Facebook stauses bashing their boss?

Yes

President Robert Breuder’s ini-tiative to enhance students’ expe-rience on campus is missing themost important ingredient.

As the new presidential com-mission, Reconceiving the Stu-dent Experience Team, nears itsOctober deadline to submit finalrecommendations to Breuder, alack of student input will be detri-mental to its success.

Twenty-three faculty, staff andadministrators have been meet-ing to discuss improving and en-hancing the student experience atthe college. They sought to gainthe student perspective throughfocus groups, student surveys,utilizing the “Secret Shopper”technique, and by interviewinghigh school students.

It’s good to see the college focus-ing on the student experience,however the sheer lack of studentrepresentation on ReSET will neg-atively impact the results and suc-cess of the commission.

There was only one studentfocus group held inAugust. Theresult was a variety of themesthat culminated from a small

sample of 14 students.The college can’t expect to re-

ceive a diverse outlook or widearray of student needs from only14 new and returning students, abroader, more diverse perspectiveis needed.

ReSET can’t rely on administra-tors and staff playing mindreader off tables of data.

ReSET also collected surveysfrom students. Surveys are good,but are in no waycomparable to theopportunity to havestudents present forReSET meetings.

Another of ReSET’s methodswas utilizing the “Secret Shop-per” technique.

The technique involves paying acollege student to utilize collegeservices and see where improve-ment is needed.

Hiring a student to perform thistask is a waste of money whenReSET has a cluster of studentleaders to share their experiencesin an open and free forum withmembers of the commission.Why hire a mercenary when you

have able volunteers?Student Leadership Council

wasn’t even approached aboutparticipating in the ReSET fo-rums. SLC operates as the studentbody’s voice for the college, andthe fact that they were not so-licited is confusing.

Enrollment Services have beenvisiting high schools to gatherfeedback from potential futurestudents, teachers and counselors.

Although it may provideinsight into what highschool students look for ina college, priorities andneeds change in the college

environment. If administrationwants to improve retention, re-sources should be better spent onobtaining returning students’feedback.

Without strong student repre-sentation on the ReSET commis-sion, these other methods ofassessing the student experiencewill not accurately unearth theimprovements needed to makeCOD a student-friendly college.

Being the most important assetto the college, the students need

to be heard and valued in impor-tant administrative commissionsand decisions.

Breuder said in an interviewwith the Courier that one of histop three goals this year is to im-plement the recommendationsfrom ReSET. However, if hewants positive results, he needs toshow faith and respect by placingstudents on the commission.

Working with student leaders,SLC and other clubs on campuswould be the first step to gettingmore students’ opinions into theReSET think-tank.

If the ReSET commission wantsto be successful and actually im-prove the student experience atCOD, then they should seek outthe student perspective, have stu-dents sitting on the ReSET com-mission and communicate withSLC to better understand studentneeds.

Student opinion needs to beheard on the table, in reaction toideas produced by brainstormsessions of the commission, forReSET to be effective in improv-ing the student experience.

The app which is named,‘UmLikeYknow’ provides tipsand strategies to help im-provement in speech deliveryusing seven keys such asavoiding the use of non-words, maintaining eye con-tact, and vocal variety, alldemonstrated with video ex-amples.

By defining their personalimage, students can focus onaddressing specific concerns,setting goals and self-review-ing speeches.

The ‘Um Counter’ tallies the

amount of non-words like“um”, “uh” and “like” duringa speech. Every time a non-word is used, a push of one ofthe speech bubbles creates abeeping noise that makes thespeaker aware of the fre-quency of usage and helps re-duce it.

“I really like using apps inclass, it makes it easy andconvenient as I can take itanywhere with me to study,”said speech student LindseyJafferali.

As an iPhone user, Benassiaimed to bring the cost effec-tive technology into the class-room. “Instead of studentsbuying text materials, I cansimplify those costs by givingthem something that’s morereadily available,” he said.

For those who don’t haveiPhones, Benassi makes theinformation accessible online

through Blackboard.“The best thing about it is

instead of paying for an ex-pensive textbook, you onlyhave to pay for an app, whichis way cheaper,” added stu-dent Matt Hammer.

It took a year in develop-ment as Benassi funded andworked with an iPhone appdeveloper and graphic de-signer to condense the app.

“The greatest challenge Ifound out was how simple Ihad to make it. We simplified,simplified and simplified,” hesaid.

In the future, Benassi hopesto add features such as con-tent organization, integrationwith the official website,www.umlikeyknow.com, al-lowing students to send andreceive information and voicerecognition for the UmCounter.

Currently, UmLikeYknowand Um Counter are availableon the Apple marketplace for$1.99 and $.99 respectively,but Benassi is working to-wards making the app avail-able on other outlets like theDroid marketplace.

“The ultimate goal is to seethe widespread use of thistool as it significantly helpsstudents,” Benassi said.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

The aroma of barbecue lingering in the briskair, a collage of the leaves on the trees com-plimented by the sunset and the rhythmic,coffee shop blues sound of Katherine Davisaccompanied by blues pianist Erwin Helferset the scene as the McAninch Arts Centercelebrated its 25th birthday on Sept. 17.

The event was catered by True CateringCuisine, who provided guests with a menuincluding: pulled pork, briquette, andpulled chicken sandwiches.

For guests of legal drinking age, TwoBrothers Brewing Co. provided patronswith cold beer or wine to complement a suc-culent meal.

After sunset, when things cooled down, IHave a Bean provided attendees with warmbeverages like coffee, lattes and hot choco-late.

As the sun went down and Davis finishedher set, Stephen Cummins, Director of theMAC gave a brief shout-out to everyonewho helped put together the event.

“The arts are alive and well at the MACtonight,” Cummins said as he concluded hisspeech.

Guitarist Dave Specter jonied by bassistJohn Kattke took the stage shortly afterCummins wrapped up his speech and gavea performance with a good old electric,Chicago style blues sound.

During his set Specter gave a farewellspeech to the late Willy “Big Eyes” Smith, along time friend of Specter’s and the drum-mer for Muddy Waters.

Specter continued his performance wail-ing away on his guitar with Kattke provid-ing a steady jazz beat and Helfer poundingaway on both piano and organ providing afusion amongst the instruments.

Later in the night, Grammy Award nomi-nated guitarist and vocalist, Jimmy Johnson,joined Specter and Helfer on stage provid-ing deep, raspy vocals that complimentedthe set.

Johnson‘s stage presence kept the audi-ence on the edge of their seats eagerly antic-ipating the next verse.

The evening concluded with Specter, Kat-tke, Helfer and Johnson playing one lastrhythmic and fast paced song to honor 25years of the MAC.

Intro to Studio Art and Paint-ing teacher Jennifer Herethhas made a breakthrough thatis helping teens globally.Hereth has created a deck ofcards called “Teenage Arche-type Cards”. These cardsallow teens to better channeltheir emotions and expressthemselves in an easier waythan they would’ve everthought.

Hereth was inspiredto do such a thing wheneleven years ago a tragicshooting occurred in an Okla-homa mall where the as

sailant murdered a group ofpeople and ended his ram-page by taking his own life.She remembers his final textmessage to be along the linesof “I’m a loser, I’m a burden,but now I’m famous.” She im-mediately knew she had totake action. “I want to give

teens a bigger vocabulary forexpressing their feelings,”said Hereth. With a deck of 88cards with thought provokingimages, she has succeeded.

Hereth as well asCathy Kamal, a Jewelryteacher, and Brian Blevins, anAdvertising and Illustration

teacher, got together duringthe spring of 2010 to start development of these cards. Theoriginal set consisted of only16 cards that eventuallyevolved into one 150 cards.The trio narrowed it down toa deck of 88 cards that are il-lustrated with artwork from

the college’s students andcontains cards with presentday slang such as “emo” and “bestie”. Hereth says thecards are to “help teens chan-nel archetypes to they don’tfeel emotionally bound to

History Professor WilliamWhisenhunt has recently ed-ited his latest book, Ma-rooned in Moscow: The Storyof an American Woman Im-prisoned in Soviet Russia.

Originally published in1921, the autobiography dou-ments Marguerite Harrison’stime spent in a war torn So-viet Russia as a journalist andan undercover spy and finallyto her eventual 10-month im-prisonment in the infamous

Lubyanka prison. Whisenhunt’s edited edition

features numerous text up-dates, hundreds of footnotes,never before seen photgraphs,Russian and American docu-ments and an introductiondrafted by Whisenhunt.

Whisenhunt first began ed-iting and writing 10 years agowith this being his second ed-ited book. He has also editedthe book Russian and SovietHistory: From the Times ofTroubles to the Collapse ofthe Soviet Union whom heco-edited with Steven Usitalo.

Whisenhunt is the author oftwo novels as well: In Searchof Legality: Mikhail M. Sper-anskii and the Codification ofRussian Law and A RussianPaints America: The Travelsof Pavel P. Svin’in, 1811-1813which he co-wrote with Ma-rina Swoboda.

His passion for history itselfis evident within his classesand books.

“It is the nature of being ahistorian to go back and findinteresting history peopledon’t know,” Whisenhuntsaid. “It’s interesting to bring

back things from the past thatpeople forget about.”

Whisenhunt feels that he isa man fueled by overlookedinformation that has shapedthe world we live in.

Whisenhunt believes theburden of this work is keep-ing the original informationfactual but making it morecomprehendible for the mod-ern day audience.

Whisenhunt said he favorsthis book specifically becauseit is such a unique situation inhistory. First off, a womandoing anything in the 1920’s

was just unheard of, on top ofthat she was a spy, and to be afemale spy and make it out ofSoviet Russia alive is simply amiracle, according to Whisen-hunt.

The original work by Harri-son was also published adecade prior to the majorityof documents regarding So-viet Russia.

Whisenhunt will be speak-ing about the autobiographyon September 29th at 7:00p.m. at the Glen Ellyn PublicLibrary located at 400 DuaneStreet, Glen Ellyn.

Getting jazzed about WDCB radioChicago has always been fa-mous for its four seasons,pizza, hotdogs, comedy andmost importantly, jazz. How-ever, until July of 1977Chicago was deprived of aradio station dedicated solelyto jazz music, until WDCBPublic Radio was created.

“There was a significantneed for the two formats (jazzand blues) in the Chicagoland area,” Ken Scott, Directorof Marketing and Fundraisingfor WDCB Radio said. “Thetwo powerhouse stations,WFMT and WNIB, broad-casted classical and news but

rarely touched jazz.” Broadcasting out of room

he Chaparral footballteam went in withtheir heads highholding a 3-0 record

last Saturday against the na-tionally ranked Iowa WesternRevivers, however the Re-vivers had different plans forthem winning 52-7.

“We knew what they did toCentral last week, and myguys wouldn’t let that happenagain,” Iowa Western headcoach Scott Strohmeir said.“When its 34-7 at half, youmight lose a little focus, forthe most part I thought myguys kept their focus all fourquarters.”

After last week’s comebackagainst Iowa Central, theChaps could not repeat his-tory as they lost their firstgame of the season at home.

From opening kickoff to thefinal kneel down; the Chapsstruggled on both sides of theball. On the opening kickoff,the Chaps had missed tacklesthat allowed a 45-yard Re-viver return along with a face-mask penalty allowing theRevivers to begin the game on

the Chaps 35 yard line. The Revivers offense went

off from there. Reviver Quar-terback Jake Waters led theway along with a trio ofpower running backs.

The Revivers just neededthree plays on their opening

drive to go up 7-0. After theReviver drive, more problemsarose for the Chaps.

The Revivers kick off wentinto the end zone, where playshould have been dead. In-stead, Chaps returner JohnnyHolton attempted to return

the kick and make a play. The Revivers zipped down

the field and stopped Holtonat the one-yard line where theChaps offensive struggleswould begin.

“From our first return, wehad troubles. We can’t be

starting at the one yard linebecause of dumb decisions,”Chaps head coach GaryThomas said. “Starting withbad field position against thebest defense in the conferenceis never a good thing.”After a Chaps three and out,

the Reviver offense seemed tobe in control again. Waterswas able to pick apart theChaps secondary with ease.

However after no intercep-tions through Iowa Westernsfirst three games, the Chapswere able to pick Waters offtwice early in the first quarter.

With momentum off CODsafety Joshua Hurst’s inter-ception, Chaps running backDarnell Ratcliff ran right upthe gut and put the Chaps onthe board for the first andonly time at the beginning ofthe second quarter makingthe score 7-14.

Things went downhill afterIowa Western allowed aChaps score.

“It’s good that Jake’s (Wa-ters) first mistakes came in agame like this,” Strohmeirsaid. “It’s better for him to

Triton hand Chaps first loss of season

Chaps never able to settle on offense, commit several key turnovers, lose first game 52-7

The COD men’s soccerteam’s undefeated streakcame to an end last Wednes-day against rival Triton Trojans 2-1.

The Chaps came into the ri-valry without Head CoachJim Kelly for an undisclosedreason. The team struggledwithout Kelly and came upshort to the Trojans.

The Trojans came into thegame with a great amount ofintensity and battled with theChaps the whole game.Throughout the match, rough

play was displayed from bothteams and several fouls andyellow cards were issued.

“We haven’t seen a defenselike them all season long,”Forward Greg Efiom said.“They pushed us to our limitsand we came up short.”

Despite doubling the Tro-jans in shots on goal 10-5, theTrojans were able to make useof their small chances to handthe Chaps their first loss ofthe season.

“They took us out of ourgame, it was pretty unusualbecause it’s the first time itshappened,” Forward SergioRealegeno said. “They picked

apart our offense and wecouldn’t capitalize on ourchances.”

Triton pressured the ballwith perseverance and deter-mination to not allow theChaps to score. The first halfwas evenly played as bothteams entered the half 0-0.

“I told our guys at half, wehad to go into the second halfthinking it was a playoffgame,” Triton coach PeterSilwa said. “We had a greatscouting report on their twostar forwards, we trapped

Chap’s offensive game plan ofplaying the ball wide andnever got the ball in the box.

Triton defenders pressuredChaps forwards Josh Bennet,Efiom, and Realegeno into sit-uations they’ve never been ac-customed to.

After allowing a Triton goalfive minutes into the secondhalf, the Chaps felt the pres-sure. Midfielder Angel Es-cobedo weaved through threeTrojan defenders and finallyfound the back of the net ashe blasted the ball past theTriton goalie tying the game1-1.

After being awarded with acorner kick, Coach Silwa in-structed his players a set play.The play worked to perfectionas the Trojans crossed the ballinto the box and headed theball past Chaps keeper Jo-vanni Castanon to go up 2-1.

The Chaps fell into a shelland were unable to make acomeback. The Trojan defensewas relentless and kept pres-sure on all Chaps forwards.

“After they scored the sec-ond goal, the whole teampanicked,” Efiom said. “Weworried about the clock more,and we didn’t play up to ourpotential.”

“Their forwards were ourpriority. We basically playedwith just one striker and alldefense,” Coach Silwa said.“They couldn’t handle situa-tions where we triple teamedthem. Credit to our defense.”

The Chaps now 10-1, hopeto bounce back from their firstloss of the season by practic-ing hard this week.

“It’s in the past now, wehave to forget it and move on.We’ll get them back.” Efiomsaid.

“Our guys circled this dateas soon as we got our sched-

ule,” Coach Silwa said. “Itwas nice to beat them today,I’m sure we’ll be in theirheads.”

Iowa Western established itsrunning game early and often.Their trio of running backs to-taled four rushing touch-downs on the Chaps defense,tearing apart the front sevenlinemen.

The Revivers went on a rollafter allowing the Chaps onlyscore of the game. Waters ledthe team into halftime 37-7.The Revivers knew whatQuarterback Vega and theChaps did to Iowa Westernand assured that wouldn’thappen again. Going into thesecond half, the Reviversnever let up.At the beginning of the sec-

ond half, returner Holtonagain decided to attempt torun the ball back from insidethe end zone and put theChaps at the two-yard line.

“Dumb mistakes, we can’tbe making stupid mistakesagainst a great football teamlike them,” Thomas said. “Thescore isn’t my concern, it’s our

mistakes. They definitely ex-ploited our mistakes today.”

After being awardedNJCAA National Player of theWeek, quarterback BobbyVega was pressured by theReviver defensive line allgame long. The Reviver frontfour pressured Vega intothrowing a career high of fourinterceptions.

“I had a lot of bad throws,there were a lot of drops, weplayed bad on both sides ofthe ball,” Vega said. “We wentinto the game big headed andit hurt us.”

Vega finished 13 of 30 com-pletions with a season low43.3 completion percentage.Vega threw for just 78 yardswith four picks and no touch-downs.

Vega’s season completionpercentage lowered from 75percent to 63 percent.

“The front four got Vega outof his passing game. We stud-ied their three favorite playsall week long,” Strohmeirsaid. “They had no answer forour pressure so credit the de-fensive line.”

Iowa Western showed theirdominance on the field, ex-

ploiting all of COD’s mis-takes, converting for pointson nearly every drive.

“We just have to clean it up,just stupid mental mistakes,”

Vega said. “Stupid stuff, itsjust things you learn in pee-wee football. We won’t let ithappen again. We’ll be backnext week.”

The Chaps look to bounceback from the lopsided losstomorrow, as they head backon the road and travel toNorth Dakota Science.

Motivation was the key tosuccess for the Lady Chaps asthey dominated Triton Col-lege last Wednesday, 9-0.

The Lady Chaps constantlypushed the ball down the Tro-jan’s defense, coming up bigwith shots on goal. The Chapshad 20 shots on goal com-pared to the Trojan’s merethree shots on goal.

“From the beginning wetook away their motivation,took away their heart,” CoachWilliam Fajkus said.

Just seven minutes into thegame, Team Captain and Mid-fielder Kierstyn Harringtonset up Forward MargaretLindberg with a cross. Lind-berg blasted the ball past theTrojan goalie’s outstretched

arms to start the rout to go up1-0.

From there, the Chaps tookoff offensively. Within just 20minutes, the Chaps cappedfour more goals led by a Har-rington hat trick and anotherLindberg strike.

The Chaps entered halftimewith a confident 5-0 lead.

“Our defense is strong, weplayed a full game of greatdefense,” Lindberg said. “De-fense creates offense and thatresulted in all of our goals.”

Switching positions is a keytrait to the Lady Chaps. Afterhalftime, Head Coach WilliamFajkus played around withthe lineup and inserted de-fenders into forward spots, al-lowing them to gainexperience on both sides.

The switches resulted inmany positives for the team.

Defenders Caraline Scally andAnne Dziak both scored mul-tiple goals within the first 10minutes of the second half toput the Chaps up 8-0.

“It was nice getting someplaying time on the other sideof the ball,” Scally said. “Iscored my first goal, and itfelt pretty good.”

Harrington sealed theChaps victory with her fourthgoal of the game as she scoredoff a free kick making thefinal score 9-0.

“We had lots of intensity,”Harrington said. “I’m proudof my girls and we’re makinga lot of progress and havingfun.”

The Lady Chaps play theirnext game at Joliet Junior Col-lege Wolves today at 4:00 p.m.
