GhettoFest, more like CalmFest
Miami University hosted its annual GhettoFest this past weekend with only 51 arrests compared to the over 200 that were made last year.
The parties began around 8 a.m. as usual and this year students were more responsible. Many parties ended early and were even cleaned up that night.
The change was due in part to the increase in police presence. There were 70 officers that patrolled throughout the day and night.
Students proved to be responsible by controlling their parties and cleaning up after themselves.
Senior gets degree just shy of a century
Two days shy of his 96th birthday, Don Flickinger will graduate with his associates degree from the University of Toledo on Saturday. He will be the oldest person ever to graduate from the University of Toledo.
Flickinger began his college career in 1928, but was unable to complete his studies because of the depression, work, retirement and travel.
He now wants to begin work on a bachelor’s degree.
“I am trying to show my great-grandchildren that it’s possible, even at my age,” he said.
