The man who caused an evacuation of Baker University Center more than a week ago by threatening suicide on the building's fifth floor again threatened to jump early yesterday morning - this time from the top of the city's parking garage, according to a police report.

Many people have goals they hope to accomplish in their lifetime. Robert Whealey has three.
Ohio University's Office of Legal Affairs is considering a new policy for public records requests, which might include a fee for those records. This isn't such a big deal for huge records requests ' if, for example, someone requested months of e-mails, it adds up to a lot of copies, which can get expensive. The trouble arises with smaller requests. In a time when the university should be striving to appear more transparent, making media outlets ' and members of the public ' pay for all records requests would be troubling.
For the first time since I joined the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, I was ashamed to share that title with another student. I was completely appalled and disgusted with Alissa Griffith's sad attempt at journalism in her column from Wednesday's edition of The Post.
Now that Kirby Hocutt has taken the University of Miami at Florida athletic director position, it is time to find a candidate to replace him. Clearly, the best candidate is here in Athens. Tom Hodson, currently the director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the play-by-play broadcaster for Ohio University's women's basketball and Southern Ohio Copperheads baseball, would be the ideal person to assume to duties of Director of Athletics at OU. Hodson has a passion for sports; however, he also is an expert in public relations, having been a journalist, judge, U.S. Supreme Court advocate and a member of the Ohio University Board of Trustees. Two of Hodson's passions are educating journalists on how to understand court proceedings and all types of sports. It is my belief that Tom Hodson would be the best candidate to take over for Hocutt. If you agree, contact Cutler Hall and voice your support.

True or false: A feminist is someone who burns bras, hates men and has armpit hair long enough for dreadlocks. I realize midterms may have left some brains a bit fritzed out, so I'll help you out with this one. The statement is undoubtedly false ' but the stereotype has skewed our perceptions so much that this is the image we associate with feminists. Not only this, but we assume that the opposite of this image, the girl who colors her hair and doesn't walk out the door without make-up, cannot possibly hold any thoughts of empowering women.
As a confirmed Obamacan, the new portmanteau for Republicans who are supporting Barack Obama for president, I found the Obama-McCain Charisma-Experience cartoon on your Friday, Feburary 15th, editorial page to be rather simple-minded and obtuse. One might think that a defecting Republican would be more inclined to support a DLC-type Hillary Clinton than a left-leaning Obama, but for those who are concerned about the long-term future of the country rather than the politics of the moment, Barack Obama offers a lot more than mere charisma.
Stu Pflaum seems to have forgotten one of the golden rules of hip-hop: to give credit where credit is due. I was disappointed to read his claim of establishing the Monday night MC battles at Casa Cantina.
Although Ohio University is consistently behind the pack in US News & World Report's annual America's Best Colleges issue, a new study by an OU professor paints a rosier outlook.
A female Hocking College student was arrested yesterday morning after threatening her boyfriend with a butcher knife, according to a preliminary Athens Police Department report.
If you found yourself in The Convo Friday night, you might think you'd wandered into the Twilight Zone.
It has undoubtedly been a challenging week at Ohio University, with both an attempted suicide and attempted rape. This is why I have become so concerned as to why your paper has chosen to make it more difficult for those who were affected most.
