Dean of students Sue Martin, Vice President Joe Collins and President Robert Breuder all ap-peared in front of over 50 students Tuesday Sep-tember 11th for “Pizza with the President”.
Student Leadership Council Vice President Timothy Ziman opened the meeting with a brief speech followed by a moment of silence for all of the 9/11 victims.
After the moment of silence, each of the three administrators took time introducing themselves to the students and talking a little bit about how much they love COD.
“I think you are at the best community col-lege,” Breuder said.
Breuder raved about COD after jokingly ad-
mitting his bias on the subject and discussed how his 35 mile commute from Barrington gives him time to think on the way to work and allows him to decompress on his return trip home.
A student asked to clarify if COD was real-ly the best community college and Martin re-plied asking if he could name number one.
The students continued with questions concern-ing the possibility of a residency hall area.
“We aren’t legally permitted to build res-idency halls,” Breud-er said. “[But] I am hoping we can change that eventually.”
Student interest
residency halls and even sparked ideas of writ-ing letters to the gov-
ernment for the cause and Breuder agreed.
Other hot topics were discussed such as sus-tainability and how the college has spent so much money on their appearance.
“If I was a guy look-ing for a lady, I’m going to make that judgment call before I even go over to talk to her,” Breuder said.
Breuder referred to COD’s new landscape as a metaphor and want-ed students to really know why they spent so much on the up-keep of the college as well as the often expensive
“If I don’t like what I see then that’s it,” Breud-er said in response. “I’ll spend that 25 thousand because it gives a sense of ambiance to everything.”

Five weeks ago, COD opened a new hospital simulation lab containing four hospital rooms, a
surveillance rooms. Each Hospital room
contained a dummy that -
narios and each dummy was set up with all of the necessary supplies.
A person playing the role as the patient and an instructor watch the nursing students through one-sided glass windows whie using a surveillance room.
For the nursing students who have been able to use the new simulation lab, they enjoy the time they get to practice being a nurse.
“[The simulation lab will get] you used to actually being a real nurse,” LPN student Morgan Short said.
Not only do the nurs-ing students feel like the simulation lab is a real hospital, but they also get nervs like they would if it were a real hospital.
“It feels like there is actually a patient in the room,” LPN student Dan Ritz said. “[And] it’s more
real having a ‘God’ voice come from the other room [and through a dummy].”
LPN student Candiss Julian said she gets ner-vous just like everyone else in the room.
“[The simulation] makes you feel palpitations, like your heart is beating quickly, and it feels like you’re actually taking care of a real patient,” Julian said.
Another LPN student, Liza Sciarra, said that the simulation lab makes her feel like a real nurse with-out having the downside of someone dying.
Although the hospital simulation lab is fairly new, nursing lab assis-tants Donna Perchatsch and Priscilla Laubscher said that they expect to have a birthing mother added to the simulation lab in late October.
Perchatsch and Laub-scher are also having an interior design team decorate the simulation lab so that the simulation hospital will look more like a real hospital.
LPN student Mary Kachappilly and other nursing students said that the simulation lab was a “great investment for the program” and LPN student Dan Ritz said
that the simulation lab has helped prepare him for the real deal.
“[While acting in a sim-ulation] you can not look [to] the patient for help,”
Ritz said.Several nursing stu-
dents agreed with Ritz and said the best part of the simulation lab is how real everything is and like

Ritz said, you can’t look to anyone for help.
The Hospital simulation lab cost $400,000 and is

EDITORIAL Teachers in Chica-go were seen wielding signs and wearing red shirts in allegiance of their movement. Replace red with green, and you have the sight from April 19 of last year as the faculty marched from Lake Foxcroft Park to the board meet-ing in support of their contract negotiations. Despite high tensions, both sides were able to reach an agreement that allowed for the school to function without pause. The other main dif-ference, is that it came to that point. CODFA, the college’s faculty association, were working on nego-tiations for a contract with the college last year and according to CODFA President Glenn Hansen, it came down to the last minute.
“Having been at the 11th hour of negotiations and watch a deal unravel,
decision was,” he said. “If we had not been able to rebuild an agreement at midnight, we too would have been on strike.” As of Thursday morn-ing, the strike in Chicago had entered its fourth day without a resolution. Hansen also said that CODFA supports the striking teachers because ‘no one takes a strike action lightly’ and is a last resort. He also discussed the importance of the human factor when it comes to education, one that is ig-nored when standardized testing is used to eval-uate progress because life isn’t a standardized test and education is more than just a grade. At the Pizza with the
President Town Hall meeting held on Sept. 11, an attendee chimed in with President Rob-ert Breuder on the Chicago teachers both calling them greedy and asking where the money would come from to meet demands. Education isn’t an assembly line, and much to the chagrin of ad-ministrations, shouldn’t be run like a business on the learning end. During some of the last few minutes at the Town Hall meeting, Breuder told students to do whatever it takes if it means being able to get an education, because ‘no one can take your edu-cation away from you’. Community colleges work because they are a more affordable alter-native, and as Breuder said during the meeting,
students from this college do as well or better after transferring to a univer-sity compared to ‘native’ students of that college. The reason for those high success rates aren’t
or waterfalls, it’s be-cause of the teachers. If you’re going to tell students that education has to be the top pri-ority in life, but to call the educators that are providing the ‘product’ greedy, seems out of line.
that get students on campus, it’s the quality education that is provid-ed through the college by the teachers, and as is being seen through the news, hopefully Chicago teachers will be able to get back into the classroom and move forward so no one takes their education away.

ceivers are my favorite, they all make plays and they all go get the ball,” Dawkins said. Despite the excitement from a big win, Dawkins is already preparing for the team’s next game. “I’ve still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to improve on,” Dawkins said. “We’ve got a big game next week to focus on.” The Chaps are now 3-0 and are ranked 17 in the National Junior College Athletic Association poll. “We always knew we were an elite team, apparently it’s a se-cret to everyone else,” Coach Thomas said. Their next match-up promises to be the game of the week as the
ranked Iowa Western this Saturday, Sept. 15 to battle the Reivers.

The club will be running this event through PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, but they like to emphasize that Students for Animals Defense is in no way similar to PETA but they do sometimes use their free services and are supportive of the research PETA partakes in. The club will also be holding a No Shave November contest to raise awareness of the fur industry tactics (“Grow Your Own Fur”).
