On the evening of April 17, I stood in the Bobcat Student Lounge, side by side with my friends. A crowd gathered on the first floor of Baker Center. We fixated on the announcer behind the microphone, our hope as quiet and as loud as we could collectively bear.
If Ohio University’s president and Board of Trustees agree with the Budget Planning Council’s recommendations, next year’s students will see another 1.5 percent tuition increase.
An unidentified body was found in the Hocking River on Monday, authorities said, and it will likely be weeks until the body can be identified.
Easter Sunday has come and gone, and that means many who gave up something for Lent are basking in the glow of finally having that something back, whatever it might be.
“Somebody should do something about that.” A sentiment we have all heard or possibly even said ourselves. It’s our way of safely advocating for something that we probably believe in but don’t believe we have the power to change. Child abuse and neglect is happening right here in our own community. Children are exposed to substance abuse, domestic violence or they are abused themselves. This is a real problem. “Somebody should do something about that.”
The older I get, the more I find that my excitement for the upcoming summer season is dying down.
Who else is excited for summer? Lately, all I can think about is all the free time I’ll have in about two weeks to devote to, you guessed it, video games.
During what is referred to as the “technology age,” many people choose to read with the swipe of a finger rather than a turn of a page.

We kick off the first day of our last week of newspapers for the semester with a front-page story about another potential tuition increase. The Budget Planning Council recommended to Ohio University President Roderick McDavis that the tuition rate get bumped up 1.5 percent to about $10,535 per year for an Athens campus undergrad. McDavis will probably agree with the BPC, as he usually does, and take the motion to the Board of Trustees for a vote. Normally, the meeting when the trustees vote on tuition takes place before the end of the semester, but this time the board decided to push that meeting back to June and moved it to St. Clairsville. By then, most students will be out of the loop and, most likely, unable to attend.
