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

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.

ger seat.Once the male got too
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 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.
Police also noticed that FDVLQJ�ZDV�ÀUHG�UHFHQWO\�but lacked a scent of gun-powder.3ROLFH�FRXOG�QRW�ÀQG�

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.

Klm\]flk��[gehdYaflk�d]Y\�lg�afn]kla_Ylagf Seeing one of the col-

those on campus, but
in this context, we hope
this doesn’t become a
usual occurrence.
As mysuburbanlife.
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.

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.
