Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 20, 2015

This is the kind of club lots of viewers would like to join. It appears as if members have lots of  fun.

The Ohio Northern Univeristy Indian Student Assocation held a springtime "Holi Festival," over the weekend. It's a Festival of Colors. Following a brief presentation about the festival, and some snacks a "color fight" took place.

Holi is a Hindu festival that signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and the end of winter. During the festival, participants play, chase, and color each other with dry powder.

Chopsticks Night a big hit on campus

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, April 17, 2015

ONU's annual Chopsticks Night featured great food, entertainment and plasticware for those not accustomed to chopsticks.

Sponsored by the Asian American Student Union, the event drew a large crowd of hungry folks who, by and large, managed quite well with the wooden chopsticks.

We asked, "Why did you come to Chopstick Night," and got these replies:

• I love Asian food.
• My family uses chopsticks.
• I learned from an exchange student from South Korea my family hosted several years ago.
• Food tastes better using wood utensils instead of plastic or metal.
