I Northern ' s Beautifii I Campus GREAT PLACE I n August, sounds of si¬ lence invade the campus. Breezes whisper through the trees, cooling the summer heat, making it pleasant. The squirrels, al¬ ways present, seem to suddenly outnumber the students on campus. They scamper along the side¬ walks and run off to sit in the trees and chatter busi¬ ly to one another. The birds begin their singing, and the flowers in front of McIntosh Center bloom in their most beautiful and vibrant colors, seemingly for the enjoyment of the squirrels and birds alone, for there are few students to see them. Then, near the end of August, the first car door shuts as a small trickle of students arrive on cam¬ pus. The trickle, slow at the beginning, builds within a few days to a steady stream of students coming to O.N.U. for their education. The sounds cf the natural si¬ lence give way to sounds of suitcases being opened, friends calling out hellos The new addition to McIntosh Center welcomes visitors to cam¬ pus with its scenic beauty and gives the students something of which to be proud. TO LIVE to one another, money changing hands at the bookstore, and eventual¬ ly, professors calling their classes to order. Another school year has begun. Still, behind all the noise, the squirrels still chatter to each other, the birds still sing their songs, and the flowers still show off their beauty for all to see. This is Ohio Northern University ' s beautiful campus. What a great place to live! Topossibly avoid studying, George Cernansky and Vince Cameron take a leisurely walk to the front of campus. Enjoying the campus atmosphere, Biil Bousfield and Megan Shult re¬ lax in front of Presser Hall. 2 OPENING ■■I
