I have a theory that the more complicated the sport, the more popular it is at Ohio University. I developed this theory while watching a volleyball game, which turned out to be a lot more elaborate than I expected. I was struggling to keep track of all the points, which were tallying up quickly, when suddenly the scoreboard reset and instead of 25 points, we had only one. That’s when I learned what a set was.
Four men were indicted on 14 felony counts each after allegedly robbing and stabbing an elderly woman in Coolville in January.
The provost may have been right last year, but for all the wrong reasons: Ohio University might be at the breaking point. But it isn’t the fiscal situation that is pushing us to the brink. It is a combination of hostility from the administration, disregard from some of our representatives and apathy from the student body.
Invest in dead bodies, people. They’re as good a piece of real estate as anything else.
With the start of another school year come many changes, one of those being new technology in the classroom. I was introduced this year to McGraw-Hill’s “Connect” for a 100-level music class. The choice was to either buy a $100 textbook that had the code for Connect or pay an astounding $40 for the access code to it and the book as well. Instead of using Blackboard for simple multiple-choice questions, we are expected to pay for digital access to something that fails to improve the learning experience. One would think that these massive companies like McGraw-Hill make enough revenue by updating their textbooks seemingly every year. The future will only hold more cost for “updating” and “accessing” online features that can be done the same way they have at the university for hundreds of years. When everything on the Internet can be found for free in this day and age, why should a simple program like this cost this much to students?
Most of us are familiar with our bagels: blueberry bagels, chocolate bagels … but saline bagels? If you’ve already been visually scarred by the photos running rampant on Facebook, then you’re familiar with the Asian trend that has people around the Western Hemisphere cringing in horror.
An Ohio University alumnus is taking the Internet-driven bullying dilemma back online for the second time this semester.
Released earlier this year, the documentary Bully was a basis for controversy because of its topic and its issues with the MPAA, which rated the film R solely for language, limiting the film’s ability to screen in schools throughout the country.
