Captain's journey to becoming a Marine Corps officer

The sound of an ankle pop after snagging under an inconspicuous root will surge a pang of fear into any United States Marine Corps (USMC) officer-in-training. The suspicious pop means visiting the medic to confirm a broken foot, and an immediate dismissal to the squad bay to empty personal belongings and return home.

That coveted spot to serve the nation as a military officer is passed on. The excruciating pop means Officer Candidate School (OCS) is over.

The 'impossible' parking pass

Students on Miami’s campus rarely mention parking among the university’s positive attributes. But a few students luck out when it comes to parking services.

Each year Miami’s Student Body President receives ten red parking passes to allocate to whomever he or she wishes, usually to students with specific leadership positions.

This system was put in place when former Student Body President Jonathan McNabb proposed the idea to Dr. David Creamer, the Vice President for Finance and Business Services, according to Miami Student Body President Nick Huber.

Escaping from their locker room as if it were ablaze, they fly onto the ice, a blur of red and white. The fire extinguishers below their bench send smoke cascading out ahead of them—as if they were in the clouds. The blades of their skates crash onto the frozen surface, forceful and graceful at the same time. All twenty players in unison, with their long playoff hair flowing behind them, skate the final pregame warm-up laps and assemble in a line at the mouth of their goal.

Tuition Impacts Diversity at Miami

Miami University’s “J. Crew U.” reputation is more than a just a stereotype.

Students who attend Miami tend to dress nice, drive nice cars, own brand name items and act rich, said numerous students.

“At first, freshman year was kind of a shock,” said junior Kim Rich. “”It was uncomfortable because everyone dressed the same way and I felt I had to prove myself. At my high school no one dressed up or cared, whereas when I came here, it was the total opposite.”

How Far I've Come

Tammy Schwartz
In the fall of 1973, a photographer came to Mary, Queen of Heaven School to get a picture to run next to a contest-winning poem a young girl had written. Tammy Schwartz and another girl were randomly pulled out of class by the teacher to be in the picture. The photographer took the girls to a field of Black-eyed Susans just down the street from school. During the shoot, he handed Tammy a red balloon tied to a long black wire. She held the balloon while she bent down to smell a flower. The picture ran in the Kentucky Enquirer and eventually led her back to her mother.

  Driving down Fairfield Avenue in Bellevue, Kentucky is like driving through most small Midwestern towns along the Ohio River. The buildings are repainted to look just the way they did in the ‘70s. Small shops like Joann’s Hairstyling and Mrs. Teapots tea house fill the bottom of two-story houses. But for every booming local business there is a For Sale sign hanging in the window of an abandoned building.
