The Automotive Program received the last two NATEF (National Automotive Technician Education Foundation) accreditations for the spring semester. The Automotive Program has had 6 out of 8 accreditations for the past 20 years and now they have completed the checklist. The accreditations contribute to not only the quality of the instructor’s knowledge but it will help get more donations for the program. “One of the reasons for going in for NATEF is for manufacturer and after market donations,” Co Coordinator for the Automotive Program and Assistant Professor Mike

Clean air initiative at entrances Alright guys, enough is enough. At the beginning of this academic school year, the college instituted a campus-wide tobacco ban, taking current Illinois statutes a step further. The ban was supposed to remove smoking on campus, but as almost anybody who has been to the college has seen, people still smoke. Banning tobacco didn’t do a whole lot for the college other than force smokers into “hiding” by areas that aren’t often patrolled by campus police. One of the reasons that the college cited was the act for cleaner air and while that might be the case around most of the campus, it surely is not for the entrance of BIC 10. BIC 10, located between

the PE building and the McAninch Arts Center, is a common smoking area on campus, and is half-smoked cigarettes, ash marks on the walls and a cloud of stench that makes it hard to breath. Although construction has removed classes from the MAC and PE building, that parking lot is still popular due to the fact that it’s still early in the semester and every open spot counts. Many students walk through that entrance to get to class and shouldn’t have to walk through the smell of cigarettes, especially after the passing of the ban. This isn’t one of those things telling you that smoking is bad for your health or the effects of second-hand smoke or even about following

the rules set in place by the college, but the fact of the matter remains; smokers are still present at the college and will be, but the waste left from cigarettes need to be disposed of. At the current rate, no one can claim that habit with the amount of litter left on the ground and walls. However you feel about the tobacco ban, and if you’re smoking on campus your stance is fairly evident, let’s agree on one thing; this needs to end. As adults, you can make up your own mind for your own actions and accept the consequences that come with it, but just clean up after yourselves and be respectful to others but also the facilities. Is that too much to ask?

OPINION

COURIER • FEBRUARY 8, 2013

Letter to the Editor: More tips to keep warm I noticed on your most-recent add on page 9 regarding about Tips to Keeping Warm. As an experienced Eagle Scout and a Winter Camper, I wish to pass this knowledge down to you . . . 1) Drink water to replenish moisture in your body, especially when winter air is dry; feeling not thirsty is actually a symptom of thirst. 2) Eat starches to burn as fuel. 3) Wear comfortable clothing; wear layers if you feel chilled; unzip if you need to in order to cool off. 4) Cover up your head: 80% of your body

heat escapes through the head. 5) Do not wear clothing that will make you perspire, or the sweat will freeze and so will you. 6) Brush snow off yourself when being snowedon; the snow will melt, and the melt-water will turn to ice and freeze you. There is more to it, but this should be plenty to share with the rest of C.O.D.’s students and faculty. I hope you enjoy this slice of winter survival I learned in the past. Steven Rusch.

Weathering the storm Lady Chaps trounce Milwaukee Tech Stormers, continue win streak AUSTIN SLOTT

SPORTS EDITOR

The Chaparral women’s basketball team continued their dominance Saturday night as they defeated the Milwaukee Tech Stormers. The Chaps got out on top quickly and the score was 40-23 going into halftime. The second half brought more of the same as the Lady Chaps built upon their lead and won the game 76-39. It was a strong offensive showing by the Lady starters scored in double digits and forward Donna Koerber led the team with 14 points. Another one of the Chaps’ keys to victory was their tenacious rebounding ability. By the end of the night the Chaps reached 62 total team rebounds compared to just 40 on the Stormer side of the ball. The team appears to have hit its stride and will next face Rock Valley at home Saturday Feb. 9.

The Lady Chaps battle for possession of a loose ball as the team practices its rebounding.

The Chaparral men’s basketball team lost a tight game against the Milwaukee Tech Stormers Saturday. The score stayed close the entire game with the Chaps down by one going into halftime. However, the Stormers were able to slowly pull away with the win as they took the victory 60-55. The Chaps are now 1014 and will take on Rock Valley this Saturday Feb. 9. They will be looking for revenge after falling to the Golden Eagles earlier this season by a score of 69-52.

1o Great Reasons to Transfer to Elmhurst

You’ll find a welcoming community. “I fell in love with Elmhurst the first day I visited,” says Julie Provenza. “Everyone I met tried to make me feel at home. I was nervous about transferring, but people here are so friendly that it was an easy transition.”

An Elmhurst education is intensely practical. “Elmhurst has a lot of programs that prepare you for a career,” says Anar Akhundov. “I have an internship now, and my professor has connected me with people who can help me find a job after graduation.”

Your professors will know your name. “I spent two years at a big university, where classes were huge and there was no personal interaction,” says Sonia Pedapati. “Elmhurst is a good fit for me, because the professors talk to you and they know who you are.”

Elmhurst ranks among the best in the Midwest. We’re “top tier” in U.S. News, and The Princeton Review cites our “excellent” internships, “gorgeous” campus and “intimate academic experience.”

You’ll have your choice of 50-plus majors. Whether you’ve chosen a major or are still exploring the possibilities, we’ll provide you with an ideal environment to plan your future.

It’s easy to get involved. Transfer students at Elmhurst can get involved in more than 100 campus activities, including 19 athletic teams, an award-winning student newspaper and an active student government.

The application process is free, easy and personal. Our admission counselors will advise you on the course credits you’ll need to make a simple transition to Elmhurst.

An Elmhurst education is affordable. We have a strong commitment to helping our students pay for college. Approximately 95 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid.

You’ll expand your horizons. Your Elmhurst Experience will enable you to change, grow, think, act and encounter the world in a whole new way. It will challenge you to develop your talents and make a difference.

As a transfer student, you’ll fit right in. About one in three of our students comes to us with experience at another college or university. We understand your academic needs and how to help you reach your goals.
