With finals coming up, many students will be tempted to pull all-nighters as they cram for exams. While that fifth Red Bull may seem enticing, there are other choices that students can make to help boost their energy and exam performance.
Most 33-year-olds aren't well traveled, accomplished composers with a family and a master's degree in the making, but Luis Obregon is an exception.
As we all know, going to college is an expensive proposition. Ever-rising tuition, room and board, nights out and, of course, a tear-jerking trip to the bookstore at the start off each quarter. It is not uncommon for a textbook to cost more than a hundred dollars. A full-time student enrolls in about four classes a quarter, three quarters a year and optimistically four years between the start and end of their college career. After the math, that works out to around $4,800. After hocking up the cash, there are assigned readings from half the book at best. The student will likely read less than half of those and sell the book back. Buybacks frequently yield a measly sum, and I often keep my books finding I could get more money by selling them as a DuraFlame alternative.

Size ' Shape ' Color: three words our society obsesses over, especially when summer is close and bathing suits are coming out. One can't turn on the television, radio or open a magazine or even a newspaper without being bombarded with products that will change one of these three things. As a melanoma survivor and registered nurse, my goal is to show this community a new way to interpret these words. Skin cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in this country, behind breast/prostate, lung, colon, uterine/urinary and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.-
I am writing in regards to a story published in Monday's Post on Ohio University's new plan to recover the enormous losses occurring since the installation of the Baker University Center. It was stated that Baker Dining Services has lost about $2 million since it opened and their remedy to this situation was to promote plans aimed at those who live off-campus, i.e. juniors and seniors. One plan includes a $300 Flex Dollar program priced at $270 that the owner could use at any of the dining halls, Caf+
Ohio University President Roderick McDavis will propose switching the university's academic calendar from quarters to semesters at the Board of Trustees' June meeting, a high-ranking administrator confirmed yesterday.
I am writing in response to the article written about Alden Library lowering the cost of printing services and dropping the free 50 page printing policy. I believe that this policy negatively affects students who stay under the 50 page free printing policy. Alden Library should keep the policy that they have and allow students their first 50 pages of printing for free. Charging students for every page that they print will result in more financial holds on student accounts because of balances that in most cases will be under 10 dollars. I believe that this will then decrease use of printers in the library, causing the university to lose more money, not including the estimated two million dollars in lost revenue since Baker University Center opened. If we pay $18,000 a year to come to school here, the least they can do is give us 50 free pages of printing.
More money is being spent for Ohio University students. The library is where the majority of students do most of their work. Printing is lovely since it is free; however, it is not free any more. The library decided to drop free printing and has decided to add a 3-cent fee. This does not sound that bad, but being college students, we print papers off like we drink water. The current policy is 50 free pages every month with a 5-cent charge for additional pages. This policy always worked in my favor, but I can speak for all the students. I feel that printing policy should stay the same as it is.
