(Continued from P.2) businessmen, who called themselves the Athens Coalition for a Safe Halloween. They tried to make the best of the yearly event by sponsoring a Madi Gras Party to get people off the streets, where most of the trouble occurs. Homecoming is another event celebrated in a unique OU style. A parade started the day with participants from the school, alumni and the surrounding community. Green and white was flown wherever possible and all the pleasures of being part of higher education were experienced. The OU class schedule started later in the fall than most colleges and with the quarter system, Christmas break was quite a treat. It lasted from Thanksgiving til the first of the new year. This gave students a chance to work or be leisure with time for travel. Academics are what brings most students to college and here the standards are high. Ohio University is known for its Communication and Journalism programs as well as for the research facilities of the Osteopathic College. There was an increased interest in the Business College, so the college had to increase requirements for entry. Spring quarter was ten weeks that students looked forward to. Those returning from a spring break in the sunbelt flashed their tans and took on the Athens weather with a smile. Unusual to Athens was almost summer weather to begin Spring, but it didn ' t last long as temperatures fell to near freezing. Besides just beautiful weather, Spring quarter offered students organized weekends on each of the greens. The first was East Green which was followed by West Green Mom ' s Weekend, South Green and the topper Springfest. Throughout Winter and Spring students joined together to raise money to support the event that promised bands, beer, and fun in the sun. A hot day helped to sell the most kegs of beer ever at an OU Springfest. These are just a few of the features that make Ohio University unique to the state, the surrounding community, its students and faculty. The messages and announcements that were read off the wall were a part of this uniqueness and helped to tell the story of OU ' s off the way ways. IjiiiL 4 — Opening The College Gateway endorses the stand that education can only help society and shall be encouraged here.
