University Officials Take to the Skies Aboard ‘RedHawk One’

Miami’s airport, where the plane is housed, was created in 1944 during World War II. It was used as place to train students to fight in the war. “It was called Civilian Pilot Training where they would train college students to fly and then they would go off and join the military and become military pilots,” Director of Business Services for Aviation Services, Paul Allen said. He said the training ended about 1995. Unlike commercial airports like Cincinnati or Dayton, the Miami Airport’s security is not on the same level. “Unlike the Cincinnati Airport, our security is an unlocked gate,” Allen said. The gate doesn’t even encompass the entire premises.

That’s what we just started doing this week.” Hehemann said it is going to take eight to 12 months before a decision is made, but by next fall he hopes to have a definite decision to move forward one way or another.

UC Fire Reminds Students To Take Safety Seriously

Trying that new recipe, buying that space heater for your freezing old Oxford house or lighting that pleasantly smelling candle may seem like a good idea, but it could lead to disaster if taken lightly. Two students from the University of Cincinnati (UC) were killed after a house fire Jan. 1 and in 2005, four of six students perished in a house fire in Oxford, according to Sgt. Jon Varley of the Oxford Police Department (OPD). The last reported Oxford house fire was in 2005, when a lit cigarette caught a sofa on fire, Varley said. He said the fire could have easily been prevented and the house should have had more smoke detectors.

Middletown Christian School will be addressing this sensitive, yet pertinent topic in the form of a play portraying the shootings that occurred at Columbine High School in April 1999. “It’s Not Too Late” is a play about the day of the Columbine shooting. The story follows Cassie Bernall, a Columbine High School student who was killed and known for her faith in God, according to co-director Hillary Young.

Grade Changing Scandal Results In Charges

Two former Miami University students were charged with first-degree misdemeanors Monday for unauthorized use of a computer system, according to Miami University Police Lieutenant Ben Spilman. The issue was brought to Miami University Police Department’s (MUPD) attention in October 2012, when a faculty member alerted an MUPD officer when she noticed a discrepancy in what grades she had entered in Niihka with what was being displayed, according to Spilman. After investigation, MUPD determined th
