Pedal Power
High fuel prices have you looking for alternative transportation? Ohio Northern University’s student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) may be working on an answer.


CSI: ONU
Ada, Ohio, is many things; quaint rural village, exclusive provider of the footballs used in the Superbowl and home to the only Tundra south of Lambeau Field. What it is not, is a hotbed of criminal activity. But when the police raid a house full of hostages a stone’s throw from campus, it can certainly look like one.

Textbook rentals come to campus bookstore
This fall, ONU will become part of a select group of colleges/universities offering students a textbook rental program. This opportunity is made possible thanks to a partnership forged between Ohio Northern University administration and the campus bookstore, managed by Barnes & Noble. With textbook rentals, students can realize tremendous savings, paying less than half of what they would to purchase a new, printed textbook.
