University of Toledo

The University of Toledo Student Government has set out to change their community with the BIG EVENT project. The Big Event is a one day, student-run community service project involving all students, faculty and administrators at the University of Toledo on March 20th, 2010. Students from UT will spend one Saturday performing various service projects in the communities of Secor Gardens and Bancroft Hills, as well as other local charities in need. These ‘jobs’ last approximately four hours and could include window washing, yard work, interior/exterior painting, and much more.

Gene Cross has an uphill battle in his second season at Toledo

Stories about the rebuilding of a basketball program typically come in two forms. There is the hopeful narrative, written when a new coach takes over, his ambitions and philosophies detailed in full. Then there is the retrospective, composed after the program has found glory or when that coach is fired, his methods either praised or vilified.

As you can see with the previous post Yueh-Ting Lee has threatened to sue Lisa Renee at Glass City Jungle for linking to stories about his resignation at the University of Toledo as his role as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. As we also read, he moved to the HR department but it makes one wonder if he should be in an admin position at all.

When the University of Toledo played then-powerful Carnegie Tech in football in 1923, Pittsburgh sports writers were surprised to learn that UT did not have a nickname.

Though an underdog, Toledo fought formidably, recovering a series of embarrassing fumbles by favored Tech. Pittsburgh writers pressed James Neal, a UT student working in the press box, to come up with a nickname.

*Joe the Plumber joins University of Toledo College Republicans as they
Pledge to Reclaim Campus*

The University of Toledo College Republicans will host their
first meeting Tuesday August 25th in the Student Union Room 2591. Joe "The
Plumber" Wurzelbacher will be in attendance as the UTCRs will lay out a plan
to reclaim the university in the name of Conservative Values.

The UT College Republicans are the reigning chapter of the year in
the state of Ohio. Last year their local business support program
picked up national headlines as did their efforts in the 2008

Friday morning I host the two heads of the YMCA/JCC for an hour long interview about the South YMCA. Robert Alexander, Pres. CEO, and Paul Schlatter head of the Board of Directors will be on to give us the final update on "the deal" and the future of the South Y location. Did the constant barrage of negative coverage hurt fundraising? What happens after three years? Is what Alexander makes important to the story?
Should be fun.

I don't know if you have seen this or not.
