The executive director of Southeast Ohio Emergency Medical Services announced his resignation last week, citing pay cuts and lack of organization within the district as part of his decision.
Sometimes as I am reading the many political cards that have come in the mail or e-mail blasts sent out to many, I am aghast at the negative bashing that is going on among both the democratic and republican candidates. If I were in charge of what could and could not be sent out, I would say, Tell us what you are planning on doing specifically to make our America the best in the land. I know that I want our country to look a little bit more like our family's view toward budgeting and goal-setting and living within our means. Our credit cards are used for convenience, not for overspending. When we can't afford something, we wait and work to make our dream come true. So my vote this year is going to the candidates who are like minded AND the candidates who seem (looks are sometimes deceiving) as though they have the moral fiber to live up to their convictions.
Vice President for University Advancement Howard Lipman will leave Ohio University for Florida at the end of Fall Quarter.
When I wake up on a Monday morning I'm stiff. I drink my coffee like I'm bored with it. I make toast and don't even butter it because who cares, it's Monday, and I know already that today is going to be boring. The slow long draw of the beginning of the week is as detesting as it is expected. I take a shower and listen to some Bon Iver or The Damnwells; something Monday. It's slow and mostly solemn.
As a nose guard, Marcellis Williamson springs out of his stance and slams into the opposing offensive line every play like a wrecking ball bowling against a brick wall.
Athens City officials are gearing up for this weekend's Halloween Block Party, taking extra precautions to keep the party under control.
The latest Ohio University student to contract bacterial meningitis is expected to recover.
One step into Fritz Hagerman's basement office in Irvine Hall reveals his long history with a wide variety of sports.
No matter how hard we try, college students never get enough sleep. On any given weekday, 95 percent of the people walking about campus exhibit the same spacey, zombie-like look of sleep-deprived students. Weekends, although technically the perfect opportunity to catch up on work, aren't much better. Students practically become nocturnal, partying 'til 4 a.m. I calculated the amount of homework my professors assigned each week and, even subtracting all social interactions, satisfactorily completing every task is an impossible feat. Inevitably, sleep must be sacrificed.
Finding it impossible to throw a party on a budget? It's easier than you might think. You only need to keep a few places in mind to throw a great party and still manage to save some money.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. If this is the case, then justice is on the fritz. Here in Athens, many people like to think of this small college town as being diverse and accepting. After living here a little over a year, it has been made clear that Ohio University is far from perfect. Instead, it is a place of hostility for many members of the community.
As the Bobcat offense glides into motion, the ball is dug out of the back row into the waiting hands of setter Michelle Jantsch. With a quick flick of her wrists, Jantsch skies the ball inches behind the net where a hitter sends the ball flying toward the ground.
Ohio University's Environmental Scan Team held its first of two public forums yesterday.
Like the second movie in a trilogy, the Bobcats' weekend matches were riveting and answered some questions, but left many unresolved.
An OU student is under observation today with a probable case of bacterial meningitis.
Last week Christine O' Donnell, running for U.S. Senate from Delaware, showed voters why hating government does not make one qualified to be in it. It is becoming a theme among the new faces who join the GOP - many candidates from the school of Sarah Palin - where knowledge and experience take a back seat to enthusiasm and smiles.
Even though the Bobcats finished 10th in their last event of 2010, much was to be desired after not finishing higher than ninth all season.
Despite Miami entering the game with an undefeated Mid-American Conference record, the Bobcats treated their rivals as if they resided on the opposite side of the standings.
