OPINION
Economic class separation. It’s something you normally don’t see in a college environment, especially a commu-nity college. Students are all there with similar goals in mind. But at COD, the rich are rewarded while the !nancially struggling are overlooked. "is is all thanks to the “run-ning-a-college-like-a-business” mentality that COD President Robert Breuder adopts. Take Premium Parking for example. Under Breuder’s administration this policy re-wards students with a guaranteed close parking spot...if they can dish $75 a semester that is. Or that fancy new Waterleaf restaurant where the cheapest dinner entree is a whopping $18. Not convinced? How about Breuder’s blatant disrespect toward students and student organizations? His administration canned Courier adviser Cathy Stablein two years ago, replacing her with an incompetent outsider who acts only as a babysitter instead of a mentor. Also, last year was the the third straight year that tuition was increased under Breuder’s administration."ese actions are important to note and students bear the brunt of them. Last year, tensions were high among faculty and administration during bitter contract negotiations where Breuder and the Board of Trustees attempted to diminish their work, reduce their pay and tamper with insurance policies. Surely these are not the attributes of a good leader, but of a maniacal tyrant. As a former employee of the college and student for three years, I can say without a doubt in my mind that when you cross the threshold of COD, it is pretty clear that Breuder is the king and the students and sta# are the peasants who till the land, but can never enjoy it. "is should not be. A college is a place of growth and development, but Breuder only wants physical growth and cosmetic development. Welcome to COD, a place where if you play some harmless football outside, admin-istrators will call the police on you, unfortunately I speak from experience. A place where your tuition dollars are thrown into a hoity-toity !ne dining restaurant or water-fall. A place that doesn’t value your well-being, only your money.

!e start of a new school year means a very import-ant thing for Chaparrals’ Football Head Coach Gary !omas, the beginning of a new season. With a new season comes the mission of leading a brand new group of players to victory. !omas is going into his second season as head coach of the Chaps. With this in mind, !omas re-"ected back on his experi-ence as a #rst year coach. “I was kind of thrown into the deep end of the pool because the transition just happened so late in the summer,” !omas said in reference to being hired as the head coach. Despite this, !omas cited his seven year experience being around the program as the reason why he knew the team’s “inner workings.” !omas was ready to take over the reigns as head football coach and felt he was already dealing with an experienced group of players. “It was just a matter of not screwing up at the time,
which we pretty much managed to do the majority of the time, with just a cou-ple speed bumps,” !omas said. One of these aforemen-tioned speed bumps came during the #nal game of the season against Joliet Junior College, when on the Chaps’ last drive, a #ght broke out amongst players. “Instinct took over at the end of the game last year, what’s unfortunate is we didn’t instigate that in any way, shape or form oth-er than just winning the game,” !omas said. “If you break down that drive you’ll see that it was a seven play drive where the other team committed six personal fouls.” !e Chaps were forced to forfeit their region champi-onship game and more than 40 players were suspended as a result of the #ght. !omas even wrote an ap-peal to combat the suspen-sions of so many players, as several of their players were punished just for standing past the sideline during the scu$e. “I don’t believe that our kids did anything to embar-
rass themselves, the college or their families,” !omas said. “Young people, in any are-na that you choose, gener-ally don’t realize the reper-cussions of their actions when stu% ’s happening.” However, he does not plan on letting this past season’s controversial end interfere with this year. “It can’t be a handicap… the last thing people want to hear is excuses for not winning the game,” !omas explained. According to !omas, the team cannot a%ord excuses as they face a challenging schedule this season. “!ere’s no one team that you look at and think we should win that game,” !omas said, “each one is a unique problem for us.” Among the problems that other teams are going to pose is their unpredictabil-ity, meaning new adjust-ments for every game. An obvious challenge for the Chaps will be facing scholarship schools that !omas says are able to recruit over the top of the college because they o%er scholarships.
“Money drives a lot of the deals and we’ve lost some kids to other scholarship schools… but there isn’t an excuse for us not being good.” Acting as a constant mo-tivation for Coach !omas are the goals he wants the team to accomplish this upcoming season. “I want us to be recog-nized for a few things,” !omas said, “I want peo-ple to be in awe of how hard we play, how disciplined we are in what we do and that we will win and lose with some integrity and some sportsmanship.” !omas also empha-sized the importance of the college’s perception of the football team. He feels that the team has built up a good reputation with stu-dents and faculty, but last year’s #nal game was a little setback. “We don’t need to rein-vent ourselves but we need to repair our perception,” !omas said. “What happened in the last game happened, I can’t deny that, but the per-ception was that we did something that was more
disrespectful than what had actually happened.” !omas hopes that having a good reputation with students will lead to an increased interest and sense of pride for the football team. “We’re a school of 30,000 students, if we could get half of those students to come to our games, we would need a bigger stadi-um,” !omas said. As far as on the #eld is concerned, the coach hopes to win enough games to qualify for a bowl game by the end of the season. “In junior college, it’s hard to get to a bowl game,” !omas said, “Our realistic goal would be the bowls in either Maricopa County or New York.” But for now, the Chaps are taking their season one game at a time and are just trying to complete the goals they have set for them-selves. “Our cause is to get an education, get a scholarship when we leave here and put a good product on the #eld that represents our college and every student on our campus,” !omas said.

!e Chaparral football team started their season o" with a bang, defeating Erie 30-0 Saturday. !e Chaps had no prob-lem moving the ball on the Erie defense, but their #rst few drives stalled once they reached the redzone. “!e #eld shrinks on you a little bit, it gets more chal-lenging,” Head Coach Gary !omas said. Fortunately, the special teams were still able to rack up points for the team on those drives, thanks to Kicker Matt Cotiguala’s three #eld goals. “Special teams were great today,” Coach !omas said. One of the biggest ques-tion marks going into Saturday’s game was which quarterback was going to emerge as the starter. Byron Dawkins, a more traditional pocket passer, and Patrick Ivy, a speedy quarterback that likes to scramble, traded o" on taking snaps throughout the game.
“Coming out of camp, Ivy and Dawkins were relative-ly even,” !omas said, “…!ey both bring a unique style of play.” Both Dawkins and Ivy showed o" their unique style of play during Satur-day’s game. Dawkins completed 10 passes in 20 attempts for 121 yards and two touch-downs. Ivy, on the other hand, only passed for 35 yards, but he ran for anoth-er 43 yards on seven carries. “We tried to put them in a position to make easy throws early, but at the end the wheels kind of fell o",” Coach !omas said. !e passing game may have been a little shaky at times, but it was the Chaps’ rushing o"ense that domi-nated. Arguably the biggest play of the game came in the third quarter when hal$ack Tyreis !omas broke o" a 78 yard touchdown run. !omas shared his thoughts on the team’s per-formance. “We did play a little slop-
py at times, but what mat-ters is we won the game,” !omas said. !omas led the team in rushing with 101 yards on #ve carries. In addition to the rushing and special teams, another strong point in the game was the shutout by the defense. “I’m not going to com-plain anytime we shut someone out but we have to clean some things up,” Coach !omas said. Despite a few slip-ups in execution, Coach !omas believes that it was a solid start towards #nding their identity as a team. “Our identity might be a little schizophrenic at times, it will change for what we’re trying to accomplish,” !omas said. Ideally the team will only get stronger, as the starting wide receivers return from suspensions stemming from last season’s on #eld scu%e with Joliet Junior College. Next, the Chaps will play Wisconsin-Whitewater JV.
