Letter to the Editor | Make Bishop Woods better without degrading it

I read with interest the Letter to the Editor about Bishop Woods by Vincent Cirrito, Miami's Landscape Architect, in Tuesday's issue of The Miami Student. Mr. Cirrito does an excellent job summarizing the unique history of this piece of natural forest between Hughes Laboratory and Upham, Culler and Shideler Halls. I also applaud his leadership in drafting a plan to make Bishop Woods more accessible. While that plan was only briefly described in his letter, I saw a more complete presentation of the plan on Feb 11, when it was presented to members of Miami University's Natural Areas Committee.

‘Carpe diem’ and all that jazz

Ever since I was a kid, I have loved to cook. For my eighth birthday my grandfather took me to a cooking class on French and Mediterranean herbs and out to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Shuhei, for sushi and tempura - a tradition we carry on to this day.

Cowboys don’t cry: A middle school memoir

I spent nine years of my childhood at Saint Agatha School, a tiny redbrick Catholic k-8 institution of about 400 students, comfortably nestled in the pretension and prosperity of Upper Arlington, Ohio. Saint Agatha had all the characteristics of your quintessential Catholic school: God's blessing and judgment, ill-fitting uniforms, brain washing issued after each Morning Prayer.
