Our latest poll: Should we get rid of the penny? Here's the pros and cons.

Here is the basic breakdown of the penny debate.  This is a synopsis of this article on About.com. 

Yes Penny

  • Prices go up because everything will get rounded up, not down.
  • Poor people make more small purchases and so will be burdened most heavily.
  • Lots of little charities rely on people's willingness to give away pennies.
  • No pennies means more nickels.  They cost more to make than pennies.
  • Nostalgia. Sentimentality. Change is hard (no pun intended.)
  • Lincoln.

No Penny

Mandolin Clubs, or small ensembles, were popular at the turn of the 1900s. The craze was also popular in Ada. Here's a photo of the ONU Mandolin Club. The instruments on the far left and far right resemble guitars. The instruments in the center are called "potato bug" mandolins, because of their shape.

No. 5 women's basketball clinches share of OAC regular season title with 70-58 win over Heidelberg

By Jared Brown

Junior Cenzie Yoder and senior Joanna Snyder each posted double-doubles as the No. 5 Ohio Northern women's basketball team posted a 70-58 win over Heidelberg on Wednesday at the ONU Sports Center.

With the win, the Polar Bears now stand at 21-1 on the season and 15-0 in OAC play, while the Student Princes fall to 5-17, 1-14.

The win clinches a share of the OAC regular season championship, the first for ONU since the 1987-88 season.

"It has been our number one goal all season to win the OAC championship," said head coach Michele Durand. "We will now look to capture the title outright."
