. \ • * tv -missions ' A Joint committee of the Illinois House and Senate conducted a public hearing last week in Chicago to discuss proposed legislation to enact a federal requirement directing the State of Illinois to annually require automobile tailpipe emission tests in the Chicago fend East St. Louis metropolitan areas. The six county metropolitan Chicago area, which includes Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, McHenry and Kane counties, and the East St. Louis area of Madison and St. Clair counties would be effected > by the mandatory auto emissions testing program. The inspection program is mandated by the 1977 Clean Air act amendments. The act requires that testing must begin by 1982 in any V * Aufo Deaths Ifcj, urban area of the nation which fails to attain the clean air standards for ozone and carbon monoxide by that date. An Illinois Enr vironmental Protection >*', agency study has concluded that neither the Chicago nor the East St. Louis urban area will meet the deadline. T h e i n s p e c t i o n - maintenance program, as it is called in the Clean Air act, involves not only an annual inspection of tailpipe exhaust, it also requires motorists to have their vehicles tuned and retested if the first inspection in­ dicates the vehicle is polluting too much. The program is required as long as air pollution violations occur. Inspection-maintenance programs are presently being employed by several sffiaffggM ,»•' 't y i: cities and states around the nation to combat urban smog problems. New Jersey has had a mandatory program since 1974; Por­ tland, Ore., has had a program since 1975; Phoenix and Tucson since 1977 and Los Angeles, Nevada and Rhode Island started mandatory programs this past year.- The responsibility for designing and administering the inspection-maintenance program has been delegated to the state by the federal Clean Air act. The Illinois EPA has recently finished a study of the alternative methods of running a testing program and has presented the results to the Special House-Senate Joint com­ mittee on Inspection- Maintenance for its con­ sideration.

MCC Transfers Excel A report received from Northern Illinois university officials indicates that students transferring from McHenry County college continue to out-perform other student groups. According to John Adelmann, assistant dean of instruction at MCC, a total of 47 former McHenry County college students enrolled in courses at Northern during the past summer. As a group, the former MCC students achieved an average grade-point of 2.92. This compares favorably to Northern's native students who earned an average grade-point of , 2.68. Similarly, transfer students from other community colleges in Illinois earned* a grade-point-average of 2.71 while transfer students as a total group performed at a 2.83 level. Adelmann said, "At the present time, approximately 170 former MCC students are enrolled at Northern in a wide variety of programs. If past performance is any indication, we can expect them to perform quite successfully. The fact that the 47 former MCC students out-perfomed all other student groups this summer speaks highly of the quality of instruction available locally."
