The Basic Design II class taught by Professor Brenda
Schilling has created a window mural on the fourth floor of Wade Hall. The
mural depicts a section of Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam.”
The Madison County Arts Council contacted Schilling, informing her that Oct.
6-13 is Illinois Arts Week. “We wanted to do a project that said art without
using letters,” said Schilling. “The whole class had to decide [the subject]
and contribute to the project. I gave the class three weeks to do the
project, and they have got it done early.”
“We thought we’d never get it done,” said student Jason Harris. The class
got the picture from a book which was then put with a grid to enlarge. “We
had to cut the paper and paint it with acrylic and different sized brushes,”
Harris said. “It all came together pretty good.”
According to Schilling, another current point of interest in the art wing is
that, “Student Government bought us 15 new easels. We’re really excited
about that.”
The mural can be viewed on the north side of Wade Hall.

Effective this semester, students grades can be accessed
through BlazerNet. Hard copies of grades will no longer be sent through the
mail, except through special request. Such a request may be made in the
Enrollment Center.
According to Vice President of Enrollment Services Pete Basola, “We
basically have a committee on campus dealing with such issues. The students
requested this. Last year we offered grades online and a hard copy in the
mail. More and more students are accessing their grades online and other
colleges offer this too. It is a win-win situation for everyone. The
students get grades sooner and the school saves postage costs.” Fall grades
may be accessed on the morning of Dec. 20.
Other services included with BlazerNet are:
- View Transcript

As a Student, You
Should Know

President Dale Chapman, Dr. Linda Chapman and
Mr. Tom Wunderle spoke to the executive board of the Student Government
Association on Oct. 9 to explain the re-accreditation process LC is
undertaking. This process effects all LC students, current and future.
“We want the students to understand and be involved in the Self Study
process,” said President Chapman. “The process needs to engage everybody,”
said Wunderle.
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an agency of the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools. Basically, the HLC comes to a school,
reviews it and determines whether or not to allow it to remain an
acknowledged member of the higher learning community.
The first step in this process is a meticulous self-review called the
Self-Study for Accreditation. You can read the most updated draft on
lc.edu. The 104 page .pdf file explains, in
detail, what is going on and what i s going to happen.
On Feb. 17-19, the HLC will visit LC and advise our college of their
evaluation.
In the mean time, LC wants your help as a student and member of the
community. You are invited to submit your comments to the HLC or to any
member of the LC Self Study Team.
