Around the country, thousands of hip-hop events are held where pursuing MCs, or masters of ceremonies, meet to flaunt their impromptu lyrics, poetry, and spoken word via the microphone and stage. For Ohio University, a college campus in the middle of nowhere, hip-hop seems like a forgotten art. Luckily, thanks to MCs like Liza Hill, a member of the Disfunc Family, and other Hip-Hop Congress members, hip-hop is present even in the hills of Appalachia.

An artist suffers for his art. When it comes to fashion, rarely does the college student suffer. The sad ensemble of super-frumpy sweats paired with some sort of equally disastrous top has become an unwritten regulation - a college uniform advocated by students.

Ascending on the bike trail is like staring at an old fashioned photograph or a black and white movie still of the pastoral South. Past the overgrown prairie and rust-covered freight trains and across the Hocking River Bridge exists a culinary delight a bit more personal than ordinary Court Street fare.

It’s not easy being purple, and Nick takes us through being a rabid Minnesota Vikings fan with his gameday diary against the hated Green Bay Packers.

Despite being the latest in a long line of recent, vampire-based dramas, the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” is charming, surprisingly scary, and a prime piece of guilty-pleasure meat.
“Vampire Diaries” focuses on high school student Elena Gilbert (played by Nina Dobrev, the former baby-mama Mia on “Degrassi: The Next Generation”).

Many popular figures in pop culture have flaunted their adoration for the color black: Johnny Cash donned himself the “man in black,” AC/DC came “back in black” and Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld wouldn’t dare to wear anything but. Within Ohio University, Professor Juli Miller is one of them.
