Adapting to college can be challenging and rewarding
It's the summer of 2013. Time has flown by faster than you can
say "Ohio University," and I now find myself a junior in college. I am jobless,

Your input is needed to save education in state of Ohio

not aware of the lack of political will in our Ohio General Assembly to
properly fund public education.

If only OU could return to its former management style
Every town and university has its folklore. For
example, there's the oft-repeated belief that Ohio University, in its
administrative capacity, was responsible for the demolition of one of two
near-mirror-image cow barns on Dairy Lane that once complemented the Athens

City Council shouldn’t use riders to bunch unrelated laws
In recent weeks, our Athens city government has
engaged in some questionable practices. Specifically, City Council attached a
rider to an appropriations ordinance and went out of its way to adopt it as

catastrophe. Over 100 buses from 28 states (including one from Athens)
contributed to a turn-out far exceeding the expectations of organizers.
