With just 20 days be-fore the election, alle-gations of harassment from 2010 have resur-faced to haunt a board of trustees candidate.
Candidate Frank Flores Jr. who was a temporary assistant director of aquatics from August to De-cember 2010, was ÀUHG DIWHU DOOHJDWLRQVof verbal harassment made to campus police and human resources, according to President Robert Breuder.
The allegations against Flores came back to the public eye in a March 20 Daily Herald article titled “COD candidate was
ÀUHG IRU VH[XDO KD-rassment claims.”
Flores, who is en-dorsed by the COD Faculty Association, said the timing of the resurfaced allega-tions were politically motivated in an era of tense relations be-tween faculty and ad-ministration.
“It wouldn’t be hap-pening otherwise,” Flores said.
Breuder denies leak-ing the information on Flores, but he said that the report came out via two Freedom of Information Act re-quests. Breuder did not name the request sources.
According to an Oct. 30, 2010, campus po-
lice report, a female swimmer at the cam-pus pool complained of repeated verbal ha-rassment from Flores.
According to the re-port, Flores told the complainant, “I peed in the pool,” and on a separate occasion, he knelt down by the edge where the woman was swimming and said, “I want to taste you.”

Spring Break is just around the corner, and the last thing on most people’s minds is return-ing to the college when classes resume, but it is essential to at least keep it in the back of your mind, especially as the board elections surge on with controversy. As the race for election, or re-election in the cases of Board of Trustees candidate David Carlin and Joe Wozniak, car-ULHVRQWKHÀJKWIRUWKHopen seats hasn’t exact-ly been a pretty one. In a recent Daily Herald article entitled ‘Faculty endorsements an issue in COD trustee race’, Carlin’s accusa-tions of mixed allegiance and bias towards Facul-ty Association endorsed candidates, Frank Flores and Ed Augustin, con-cerning their ties to the faculty were made pub-lic. Carlin said that, if Flores and Augustin were
elected, as a District 502 taxpayer he would “sleep with one eye open”. Carlin also stated that the job of the administra-tion is to keep the faculty in check and wonders how faculty-backed candidates could stay unbiased during times of tough negotiation. In another article from the Daily Herald, the faculty returned the volley on Carlin, as they brought into question donations to his cam-paigns from businesses that have worked with the college on renovation and construction projects. “At the minimum, it’s a dubious thing to do ethically if you take money from contractors that you’ve just given pretty large contracts,” said executive director of the faculty PAC. Carlin said that the donations were to his unsuccessful run for state legislation and not
that of a board position and therefore, shouldn’t even be connected. As the April 9th date slowly but surely closes in, the race for board of trustees will only pick up intensity, and through all of the accusations, statements and promises, what really matters? A connection to the col-lege’s well being and edu-cational needs should be top priority for those run-ning. With all of the mud being thrown to make the picture less clear, those voting in the election shouldn’t rush to conclu-sions until the entire sto-U\LVÁXVKHGRXW/RRNWRthe candidates whom you believe in and have your best interest at hand.

Fashion Department relocatedFrom the MAC to SRC, the Fashion Studies Programs settles into bigger and better space
With the MAC building closed for construction, many of its classes and programs have been pushed out tempo-rarily. The Fashion Studies Department however, has found a new permanent home ORFDWHGRQÀUVW)ORRURI65&near the main entrance and bookstore. Unlike their orig-inal space, the new Fashion Department features several dedicated lab rooms for sew-ing and textile design as well as a lecture classroom. This will open up opportunity for students to have more hands on in fashion education, as well as possibilities for more classes. Also installed, glass display cases leading down its hallways that will display student projects and designs.

tention to the dismal lack of notice and advertisement the dance related activities and per-formances receive at COD. I am a lifelong dancer and cur-rently, I am in rehearsals four days a week with my fellow dancers, in the OCC Building, for the COD Spring Showcase performance. All around the OCC, and school in JHQHUDO,VHHÁLHUVIRUSOD\VFOXEVand music performances but noth-ing about our dance performances. Another disappointment is that at http://home.cod.edu/atthemac/events, one is able to see many events through May but our dance production is nowhere to be seen. Unfortunately, the school does
not classify us as an actual “ de-partment”, which I hope to see changed in the future, but un-til then, we must get help from other scores, such as yourself, to bring awareness to what we are trying to accomplish everyday. Most of us work, take a full time load and still come to re-hearsal every day and sign up to be in a show that we don’t even know will be well attended. But we do it because we love it and we think everyone else will love it too, if only people knew about it. I implore you to please print my letter in the paper and possi-bly even try to come by rehears-als and take a few pictures. We deserve just as much no-
tice as the sports teams. I also invite everyone to please attend our show on April 19th. We will be showcasing a verity of dance styles and have worked very hard to put on a profession-al level production for the area. Showcase information:

FEATURESCULINARY TALENTS PUT TO THE TEST7KUHHWHDPVSDUWLFLSDWHGLQDFRRNRIIZKHUHWKH\KDGWRSUHSDUHÀYHVXUSULVHLWHPV
COD held a cook-off on March 21 in the cafeteria to put the culinary talents of the college to the test.
Three teams each received ÀYHLWHPVWRSUHSDUHWKHQFKRVHfrom either an appetizer, soup, salad, dessert, or side dish.
None of the contestants knew what the items were until the cook-off began.
The three teams in the cook-off were: staff members, Tim Sweeney and Batoul Zaiter; culinary Students Brian Vincent and Bayani Acuesta; Starbucks and Sodexo workers Elisio Al-faro and Kathy Nikolaou.
Sweeney has been working at the college for eleven years and Zaiter for over six years.
They both currently work in the teaching and learning center.
“We both love cooking all kinds of food and we exchange
recipes,” said Zaiter, who is will be earning her Master’s degree in public health from Benedictine University.
“I really enjoy Middle East-ern food, and I love to try new things. When it comes to food, I will try pretty much anything, and I like to try and recreate dishes that I have enjoyed,” Sweeney, who earned his Bach-elor’s degree from Northern Illinois University in Commu-nications Media Studies, said.
The VIP panel of judges in-cluded President Dr. Robert L. Breuder; Chris Thielman, Culinary and Hospitality Man-agement program coordinator; Ellen Roberts, director of Busi-ness Affairs; a COD student; and a Sodexo district manager.
Scott Wager, WDCB public radio station manager, will be the event’s announcer.
Teams had one hour to pre-pare the items and they were judged immediately after.

Who ya got? with SlottSports editor predicts NCAA tournament upsets, Final Four picks
March Madness is once again upon us and if this year’s college basketball season is any indication as to how the NCAA tour-nament will be, then fans will be in for a treat. Teams work all season for a chance to make it to the tournament and once they do, the slates are
wiped clean. Anything is possible in March Madness; every year there are Cinderella teams shaking up the col-lege basketball landscape and busting brackets. Two big teams on up-set alert are Arizona and Marquette. The Wildcats had a de-cent season but play in a weaker Pac-12 conference. It would not be sur-SULVLQJLIWKHLUÀUVWURXQGopponent Belmont knocks them out. Marquette had a poor showing in the Big East tournament forcing up shots and playing slug-gishly in a loss to Notre Dame. Sometimes the tourna-ment is all about momen-tum: something Mar-quette lacks right now. $ÀUVWURXQGORVVWR'D-vidson seems very possi-ble for the Golden Eagles.

Ohio St.- Some may question the prediction of three Big Ten teams reaching the Final Four. But make no mistake, the Big Ten is that strong of a conference this year. The Buckeyes closed their season out in a very impressive fashion. The team went on an eight game win streak and will certainly bring that momentum into the tournament. If they ride this success out, Ohio St. will have another trip to the Final Four.
