Many Americans think curry is spiced hot, but that is not always the case, depending on the spices used. It can include meat or be vegetarian. Different vegetables are included, depending on what is available locally.

Ohio Northern University will host a panel discussion concerning the Netflix documentary series “Making a Murderer” in the McIntosh Activities Room on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m.

A five-person panel of ONU professors will address student questions about specific events, actions and themes portrayed in the show, and compare them with industry best practices and scientific research. The panel’s goal is not to retry Steven Avery’s case or decide guilt or innocence, but to objectively examine elements of the case presented by the filmmakers.

All aboard! This is the Polar Espresso on the ONU campus.

The coffee shop opened Monday and sells baked goods, coffee and bottled drinks.

The shop is currently open from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Polar Espresso is part of the continuing update to McIntosh Center. (From ONU Facebook)

No matter what interests an ONU student has, there are probably clubs and organizations for then...even fencing.

Northern has 240 clubs and organizations for professional, social, or just plain fun activities.

The Fencing Club organized a few years ago and is now at the point of scheduling bouts with students from other campuses beginning next year.

The club provides the equipment, but some students buy their own. The group meets three evenings a week to practice foil, saber and epee fencing.

Philip Sugden’s installation, A Page from the Manual on Dismantling God, is currently on view in the Elzay Gallery of Art at Ohio Northern University. Sugden is an assistant professor of art at Bluffton University.

Some pieces within this exhibit are based on location drawings, which Sugden completed during 12 journeys in the Himalayas of India, Nepal and Tibet.

The text not only incorporates current, ancient, and sacred languages, but also offers passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls, Old and New Testaments, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Buddhist texts and unified field theory.

The hairnets were worn for sanitary reasons. After everyone washed their hands, the packing began.
