Racism continues to play a negative role in our society.
This week we tasted a beer that is supposed to taste like a wine. Or it is a wine that is supposed to take like a beer. We’re really not sure. The brewery, Dogfish Head, claims that it’s the perfect meshing of the beer and wine worlds. We wish we agreed. The Dogfish Head Noble Rot, made with grape must in addition to normal beer ingredients, is nonetheless an interesting beer, even if it fails to impress. Dogfish Head is the maker of some of the greatest beers out there, including the 120 Minute IPA, the Midas Touch and The Black & Blue. Some of their beers are too alcoholic to buy in the state of Ohio; some are made from recipes that date back to ancient Mesopotamia. They’re a brewery that pushes the limits and isn’t afraid to try new (or old) things. Unfortunately, we wished they hadn’t tried this.

As journalists, our profession requires us to be unbiased and impartial. Sometimes we have to stifle our personal opinions in the interest of the public and our own integrity. Luckily, for those who cannot restrain their creative, opinionated and sometimes controversial voices, there is something called the opinion section. In The Post, we publish columns, cartoons, editorials and letters on our opinion page, like many newspapers across the country.
Akron freshman forward Jake Kretzer grew up about 69 miles from Athens in Waverly, Ohio. He played several high school tournament games at The Convo and was recruited by former Ohio coach John Groce, but said he didn’t receive a scholarship offer.
As the Faculty Athletic Representatives of Ohio University, we must respond to Natalia Radic’s letter to The Post on Feb.12. All NCAA member schools are required to have FARs appointed by the president. It is our responsibility to ensure student-athlete well-being, the academic integrity of the athletics program and the institutional control of the athletic program. NCAA regulations require intercollegiate athletic programs to be designed as a vital part of the educational system and the student-athlete be an integral part of the student body.
Ohio University’s class of 2017 has the potential to be the biggest in the school’s 209-year history — just like the classes of 2016 and 2015 before it.

If you’ve ever been out to the true Midwest, you’re familiar with the part of Ohio that becomes so eerily silent at night that when you sit outside you truly begin to wonder if life still exists. This past weekend, I visited that town on the shore of Lake Erie that I grew up with and came to accept with love as the place that people live their quiet lives and choose not to leave because it’s better that way. It’s a better alternative than moving to a big city rampant with chaos and people laden with stress. It’s no surprise that it’s the place my family and I ventured to when we wanted an escape from reality. And even today, I find myself yearning for that weekend break in Norwalk during the semester. Learning new things about yourself and life continues to be accomplished here.
