Moms visit our home-awoy-from- home on Mom ' s Weekend. Wesl Greeners Liz Trafetski and Carol Scott shared a fun weekend on campus with their moms. The pride is alive in Athens We have made medical history in genetic research while our photojournalists learn from a program ranked second-best of its kind. The strides in excellence don ' t end there. OU has the largest independent study program through correspondence available world-wide. Meanwhile we maintain a one of a kind honors tutorial program. Our students study abroad in exchange programs and head teacher training programs in places like Botsawana. We are also the only university to head a program such as the Business Administration Degree at Malaysia ' s MARA Institute of Technology. Encouraging more program excellence of this kind, there is more than $23 million granted each year in scholarships and financial aid. OU invests in its future and keeps the pride going strong and com- ing back. The pride began in Athens, but it will carry on in our lives, professional and otherwise, long after we graduate and leave the red brick paths of this campus. More Halloweens, MAC Championship titles, new facilities, big name concerts, loud, roaring trains passing through the campus and record-breaking events will happen and go on happening. These are the things forever engrained in our minds along with the friendships and all the other memories. You just can ' t stop feeling it, seeing it or hearing it because we have shouted it so loud in every way. And when we are asked or just think back on it we ' ll say, OU, Oh Yeah. [q] An hour between classes can tempt many students to sit on the College Green laivn for a little studying or a lot of re axing. Opening — 7

CAMPUS LIFE Ohio University might not be on the well beaten path, but the stu- dent body is involved and up to date on current events and national trends. And there ' s always something happen- ing. OU ' s voter registration push got 4,000 new voters signed up. Also, several stu- dents were active in campaigning for the candidate of their choice. The latest fashions can be seen on the streets and in the bars. And on and off Court Street there are a few new bars that the flourescent socks and cropped jeans can be seen. International fashion can also be seen around campus. OU is fortunate enough to have a large and involved international population. Each spring the students from abroad plan a week of ethnic festivities that cumulate in the International Street Fair. Reasons for celebration are never in short supply on OU ' s campus. Each in- dividual green has a weekend set aside during spring quarter. The granddaddy of them all, is the campus wide, ever popular, Springfest. Planned events aren ' t the only crowd drawers for OU parties. OU style Hal- loween is a very popular form of cele- bration. People come from all over to visit friends, get a little crazy and stroll along the infamous Court Street. Athens is not a forgotten town nestled away in the hills of Southeast Ohio. The popular duo of Hall and Oates paid us a visit. Also, the Milton Bradley Company shipped in over 300 Twister mats in an attempt to stage the world ' s largest Twister game! Even though OU might be a little out of the way, it ' s an active, strong, outgo- ing, noticed institution. Oh Yeah! cr Q a 3 3 Q ft ft) Campus Life 9
