Posted by Paula Scott on Monday, August 22, 2022

On August 17 new Ohio Northern students were greeted by GNBs (Good News Bears) and by the university's new president, Dr. Melissa Bauman. Move-in day is a big deal on campus with reverberations around town.

GNBs at the corner of College and Main streets waved welcome signs, received "beep-beeps" of support from truck drivers and greeted everyone who came their way. FYI, this is one of the largest freshman classes to date, with about 677 students and some 400 arriving last Wednesday.

The song was a political statement on the chaos and disorder with the pervading times.  The lyrics are still relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The lyrics, “ball of confusion, oh yeah, that’s what the world is today” can certainly be applied to the SARS-CoV-2 mutations, the spread of monkeypox, and the new cases of polio.
