Roads were cleared enough for school bus travel as Ohio University's Geography Department reported .44 inches of precipitation after thaw. Sunday snow totaled 42 inches with melting in the afternoon leaving about two inches on the ground.

Voter Residency Question Declared Illegal in Athens County
Ohio Secretary of State Ted W. Brown said a proposed residency questionnaire for voters under 21 in Athens County would be illegal. He sided with two Democrats to break a 2 2 tie, arguing registration forms cannot carry residency questions though evaluative queries at registration are okay. Brown cited a U S District Court ruling upholding equal qualification tests for all, including students.

Task Force backs university day care center in Scott Quad
Ohio University Day Care Center Task Force recommends opening a day care center in Scott Quad with one third community children and two thirds from the university. Projected first year cost is 60000 dollars funded from a 400000 dollar miscellaneous pool, with sliding scale fees. President Claude R. Sowle said the proposal will be reviewed during public budget hearings. Putnam School faces potential tuition changes with five parents backing 300 dollar annual payments, while Dean Gifford Crowell notes 700 to 800 dollars per pupil may be required to keep Putnam open. If kept tuition based, advance cashier’s checks would be needed before fall.
