JORDIN GIGNAC NEWS EDITOR

An unknown suspect destroyed numerous bathroom stall in the HSC and SRC area on Saturday, April 27 sometime after 6:30 p.m.

The Custodial Oper-ation Supervisor came to police Sunday, April 28 with complaints of four HSC bathrooms and one SRC bath-room that had been tampered with.

THE BOSTON BOMBINGS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ARAB MUSLIM STUDENTDINA ABDALLA NEWS CONTRIBUTOR

During the Boston mar-athon, two presser cooker bombs exploded 13 sec-RQGV�DSDUW�E\�WKH�ÀQLVK�line on April 15.

A total of 3 civilians were killed and over 264 were injured.

As all of America mourned the FBI was hard at work looking for the perpetrators of the attack.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were pronounced the alleged terrorists on April 18. That’s where I come in.

April 18 was such a crazy day. I had started the day at 5 a.m. with my work shift, making coffee for corporate America.

Soon, I was hearing murmurs from my cus-

tomers. “I heard they were Muslim,” “No they were Chechen,” “What is that?” “Isn’t that Russia?”

Chechen… Muslims… At that moment I was sure that my heart had sunk down to my stom-ach.

That whole week I was praying that the Bos-ton marathon bombers weren’t Muslim.

Although, people were telling me, “Dina, you can’t talk like that,” I was still talking like that; but only because I was scared.

We would have to go back to the hysteria, the 9/11 references, the turban, camel, al Qaeda slurs, the discrimination.

So when CNN was the ÀUVW�WR�UHSRUW�DERXW�WKH�involvement of Islamic radicalization involving the bombers, I was the ÀUVW�WR�JURDQ��

Sitting there, in my living room watching the broadcast, I started to cry uncontrollably.

I was so scared that day that I had my tears streaming down my face. I was scared to drive to my mosque for Friday prayers, wondering what could happen to the Mus-lim community next.

I was scared for my mom, who wears a head-scarf when so many Muslims have been hurt after the public had been

informed that the Tsar-naev brothers were the planters of this bloody mess.

People do not under-stand that these so-called Muslim related terrorist attacks affect us in the most negative ways.

DINA, from Page 1

RIGHT: Dina visiting Toronto for a Muslim InterScholastic Tourna-ment (MIST) in July of 2012.

A moment in New York City after the bombings went viral, an innocent Muslim woman wearing the hijab (headscarf), while sitting on the subway, had hot coffee thrown in her face by an angry civilian.

And even the day before, another Muslim woman wearing the hijab was physically harassed in

Boston by yet another angry and stereotyping civilian.

I am so tired of individu-als who hijack my religion to justify their horrendous beliefs.

Nowhere in Islam does it say that killing inno-cent women and children totals to jihad.

What’s even more frus-trating is the fact that non-Muslims are always expecting me to apologize

and constantly condemn these attacks.

It’s getting pretty old. These attacks committed

by terrorists do not even represent 2% of Muslims worldwide. So I’ll leave it at that.

The Courier, COD’s weekly student news-paper, announces Jordin Gignac as its editor-in-chief for the 2013-2014 school year.

This year, Gignac, a ÀUVW�\HDU�VWXGHQW��ZDV�the Courier’s news editor until becoming acting editor-in-chief in April.

Gignac graduated in June 2012 from Oswego East High School, where she wrote and edited for her high school student newspaper, The Edge.

Gignac wants to have a Courier staff that better represents the student population, she said, not-ing the diversity of age, ethnicity and interests on COD’s 30,000-student campus.

“I’d like to see more stu-dent contributions, with them knowing the Couri-er is their outlet,” Gignac said. “It’s almost like our slogan should be stapled around campus ‘The Voice of the Students.’”

Attracting a more di-verse audience also is a key goal for the Courier, Gignac said.

She wants the student body to be more aware of the Courier and its mission.“I’d really like to market the Courier more,” Gignac said. “The majority of students I’ve talked to when we’ve had tables and handed out

surveys have asked, ‘We have a paper?’ and that’s not exactly what I want to hear.”

The Courier launched in

1967 and has been earn-ing awards for its cov-erage of campus events ever since. 2012-2013 was another award-winning

year for the publication.The Courier won nine

awards in the Illinois Community College Journalism Association contest.

Of the nine awards, the &RXULHU�WRRN�ÀUVW�SODFH�in three divisions: Front Page Design, editorial writing and Freehand Cartoon.

“I think we could have won more awards if the staff had a bigger heart for it,” said Gignac, who also took an IICJA honor-able mention for an opin-ion column. “That’s what ,�ZDQW�WR�À[�QH[W�\HDU�µ

The Courier staff also took home a second place award for editorial writing in the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence com-petition.

Aside from writing, ed-iting, photographing and designing content for its website and weekly news-paper, Courier staffers completed several other projects.

In the fall, the Courier launched a new website, codcourier.org, which was a vast improvement from its previous site in terms of design, navigability and information.

“Having a website opens the door to students who are interested in web design, social media and online publications,” said Gignac, who said a print publication doesn’t

always appeal to the tech-savvy generation.

The Courier also a has a educational mission. Courier Staffers received a day of intensive jour-nalism training from the Poynter Institute’s Sara Quinn. The students immersed themselves in storytelling across platforms, media ethics, writing and design.

Field trips for the Cou-rier staff included attend-ing the Associated College Press national convention as well as attending a daily news meeting at the Chicago Tribune.

“Going to conferences, ,�ÀQG��VSDUNV�P\�HQWKX-siasm,” Gignac said. “I’m hoping the new ideas that I get from each event attended will be the same drive for future Courier staff members.”

Other returning Courier staff members include Rosalie DeAstis and Caroline Koch, who will serve as managing edi-tors. London Summers, who served as photo editor, also plans to be on staff next year.

The Courier looks for-ward an even more suc-cessful year beginning this fall and invites stu-dents interested in writ-ing, photography, editing, design and social media WR�YLVLW�WKH�&RXULHU�RIÀFH�(SRC 3401) or contact Jor-din Gignac at [email protected] or 630-742-4883.

Musical Recital highlights students vocal talentsGERARDO MASCORO

PHOTO CONTRIBUTOR

As friends and Family

of the musicians gather

in the OCC at noon on

Friday April 26th, they

wait to see their favorite

student musician per-

form. The student musi-

cians were both nervous

and excited to perform in

front of people they know.

The performances in the

recital ranged from voice

to clarinet and there were

11 performances. All of

the performers were great

but a real memorable

performance was a song

that was in the language

of cats. This performance

seemed more theatrical

than musical due to the

elements of the perfor-

mance.

Of all the clubs and organizations that the college has to offer, it may surprise some to not see more intramural sport opportunities. However, walking around the hallways of the college recently, one is bound to come DFURVV�D�Á\HU�SURPRW-ing a club a little out of the ordinary from those usually posted on the various bulletin boards. It is for a COD Thurs-day Night Frisbee League offering students the chance to participate in WKH�FROOHJH·V�ÀUVW�XQRI-ÀFLDO�XOWLPDWH�OHDJXH� It was started by COD student Ned Swanson as a way to “engage students in the context of physi-cal activity and common interests in order to foster

authentic peer relation-ships with new people.” “Nighttime frisbee is a commonplace on major university campuses,” Swanson stated. “It gives students a chance to get away from homework/studying in a healthy, positive environment. Games are held ev-ery Thursday night at 8 p.m. on the college’s south soccer complex. According to Swan-VRQ��LW�KDV�EHHQ�GLIÀFXOW�having enough people to play a real game in the early stages of the league, but he is still persistent to go out and play. “Another guy and my-self are there every week, rain or shine, unless an ark is needed to get to the ÀHOG�µ�6ZDQVRQ�VWDWHG� Swanson discussed his goals for the league and what he hopes it will accomplish.

“I would like to see students engage them-selves in new activities that provide opportunities to create new friend-ships around something they already enjoy do-ing,” Swanson stated. “Maybe the college could do a bit more to facilitate this by encour-aging the use of its re-sources recreationally.” It is Swanson’s mission to pass the league down to future generations of COD students so it “exists long into the future.” “I guess my hope is to make this ‘league’ a lasting staple at COD as an opportunity for stu-dents to connect outside of class,” Swanson stated. Everyone is encouraged to join the league and for more information on it, the group has its own Facebook page, COD Thursday Night Frisbee.

MASTER OF ARTS IN NEW ARTS JOURNALISM

APPLY BY JUNE 1, 2013 saic.edu/gradapp

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s (SAIC) Master of Arts in New Arts Journalism program reinterprets and transforms the skills of a traditional journalist into the multitasking demands of a contemporary arts journalist where art writing, editing, and design skills are intertwined. Unlike journalism schools that add an arts emphasis, SAIC is a vibrant school of art and design in which New Arts Journalism students can combine the in-depth study of arts and journalism, and work closely with artists, art historians, and cultural critics.
