OU's Green and White House

More than a century after its construction, 29 Park Place has served as the home of many Ohio University presidents. That includes current President Roderick McDavis and his wife Deborah, who have hung their hats across the street from Alden Library for almost a decade — despite persistent rumors that the couple resides elsewhere.

We, the Students: Going back to school a positive change for Russia

Post Pick: U.S. National Parks Week

Granted there are only a few days left, national parks are the perfect excuse to go on a Western-bound road trip. Since there are none in Ohio, it gives you a reason to get out of our here and do some exploring. You don't need to go to Italy to see breathtaking mountains when you can just head to Montana and see the Grand Tetons. Mountains not good enough for you? Go to Yellowstone and frolic around on a volcano for a few hours. If you want to head further, you absolutely have to go see Yosemite National Park. If I may, stay in Mariposa, Calif. It's a tiny little town with one burger joint about 45 minutes outside one of the entrances at Yosemite. So yeah, the holiday week is almost over, but there's really no excuse for you to skip out on some of the places that make America what it is today.

Recent tuition hike will spur a war with Trustees

We are writing in response to Wesley Lowery’s April 20 editor’s note, “With OU athletic raises, tuition hike concerning.” We agree wholeheartedly with Lowery’s insightful argument, and were outraged to see the Board of Trustees vote unanimously in favor of the tuition hike.

OU helps lead Midwest campuses Beyond Coal

Ohio University’s goal to wean off coal as a fuel source by 2015 is a trend that other Ohio universities are adopting because of not only environmental reasons but also human health risks.
