The student newspaper introduces "The Hoover League" — Hoover High teachers cast as super heroes and evil villains, all with their own super powers

Students in Kent Stark's Environmental Media course — the first ever at Kent State University — showed off their films in the Main Hall Auditorium Thursday afternoon
Students in the Environmental Media course at Kent State University Stark Campus screened the films they've worked on all semester and showed off their knowledge of environmental issues Thursday. A handful of students participated in the course, which brought together journalism, communications, biology and other majors and teamed them up to produce short films on the problems facing the Nimishillen Creek Watershed. The students' topics ranged from septic tanks to general ways to be more environmentally conscious and a topic discussed at a recent city council meeting: fracking, or hydraulic fracturing. The students who created the fracking video had logged 2,000 miles in four weeks as they traveled to Pennsylvania, New York and other areas…

Through the new Environmental Media class at Kent State University Stark Campus, about 15 students will produce videos focusing on problems within the Nimishillen Creek Watershed
For Tonya Higgins, participating in Kent State Stark’s first Environmental Media course is about informing the public of an overlooked safety concern — one that they might be contributing to without knowing it. She’s one of about 15 to take the class, which turns students of all majors into documentary storytellers. Students look at problems within the Nimishillen Creek Watershed. They choose one topic and turn it into a video documentary, which will be shown on campus and in public* at the semester’s end. The general studies major from Homeworth said she signed up for the class because it would help her get information to the public who sometimes become upset with their poor water quality but don’t realize they might be partly to blame. …
