Want to win a
prime parking spot
at OCSA? Or what
about a week long
elevator pass? Maybe a shoutout on Art
Attack? These can
be obtained just by
having a dirty car.
Take a picture of
an unwashed car
and use the hashtag:
#ocsanowash or
email the picture to
ocsabeautification@
gmail.com to submit an entry. The first
deadline of the new
year is Jan. 16.

“Although I am not

don’t have a car or
don’t want to keep it
dirty, there are other
ways to conserve
water. This includes
taking shorter showers, washing your car
at a carwash and
not with a hose at
home, and turning
off the faucet when
brushing your teeth.

After completing
the formula there
are some things to
take into account,
like that 20 pound
backpack. This adds
roughly 350 calories
to your total. If you
are a musician with
an instrument that
weighs 10 pounds or
more, multiply your
end result by 1.1.
Now this formula
doesn’t factor in athletics. Many students
take an active elective which contrib-
utes to their average
calories burned per
day.
For body conditioning roughly 900
calories are burned.
Topping the scale is
Master Amsler’s Taekwando class, which
often includes a mile
run, for a whopping
1,030 calories burned
per class.
Dance can vary
wildly, depending on
athleticism, weight,
health, and gender.
