The purpose of my letter is to encourage the voters of the 94th district to support the candidacy of Yolan Dennis as our next legislator in the Ohio House of Representatives. Many Americans have noticed the deterioration of our wonderful country and are concerned for the future of our children and grandchildren. Many, like me, moan and complain, but we do little else. This lady has the courage and determination to do much more. She is running for a position in the Ohio House of Representatives.
The Ohio University Student Senate’s last meeting Wednesday night ended with Megan Marzec, who has never held a senate position before, pounding the gavel bringing an end to what outgoing President Anna Morton called a “challenging” year.
During Ohio University’s Spring Semester, Athens police saw a decrease in noise complaints and nuisance party violations, as well as underage drinking citations, in spite of the infamous spring fest season. Burglaries, though, saw an uptick.

People have many obsessions.
From “it’s an ongoing investigation” to “that’s classified” to “it would be a threat to national security to tell you that” to citing “executive privilege,” government bodies — from the White House to the Athens Police Department — often don’t want information to be public.

For many in Athens, The First Street Heat may have been their primary introduction into local music and the immense talent that’s present in Athens. Then, the group “broke up,” but more so, consolidated into a smaller, more contained group with a greater emphasis on rap with Emerson B spitting some often-improvised and yet substantive lyrics.
I absolutely adore going to see the mainstage productions the Division of Theater produces each year. The actors, though still students, perform at a professional level, the sets are mind-blowingly beautiful and it’s all for free! What’s not to like? But it’s one thing to see a revered play be put on by a renowned theater school, and it’s another to see the same group produce an entirely new play that was written by one of its own.
This is our last Throwback Thursday of the semester, dear readers. It’s a snapshot of a student dance in Old Baker Center to mark the beginning of finals season in 1961. The students pictured here are enjoying a little relaxation before test time, and we hope all of you get some time to yourselves before buckling down, too. You don’t have to slow dance, though.
