After last weekend's post-victory celebration that led to several student arrests and burned couches, Student Senate discussed a proposed ordinance in Athens City Council that would create a contract among off-campus students, landlords and the city.
I feel like I was kissing the most beautiful girl, and then she kicked me directly in the groin.
After the embarrassing behavior of select Ohio University students last weekend, Athens city officials and the Athens Police Department have resolved to crack down on student rioting. Violence toward police officers, among other disruptive behaviors that transpired last weekend, is unacceptable. Because of the circumstances surrounding last weekend -Athens was under the eye of extended media coverage -media outlets across the state and nation picked up the story. There are no valid excuses for bad behavior.
Eric Hedin's store is heaven for home brewers. The Athens Do It Yourself Shop, 6 Euclid Drive, looks more like a scientist's laboratory than a brew-your-own supply store. Coils of tubing hang from the walls. Light filters through multi-colored glass bottles. Plastic baubles sit atop display cases. And Hedin presides over it all -his knowledge of beer brewing so vast, it might be divine.
Some bad news for the Ohio football team: The rest of the Hokies are pretty good, too.

I couldn't be happier for Ohio University and coach Frank Solich. Get ready Bobcat fans, there's more to come from this guy who has fire in his gut to say the least.
Excited students packed the Baker Center Ballroom last night, hoping to be chosen from the tens of thousands of applicants nationwide to be the next member of MTV's The Real World.
Athens Mayor Ric Abel wants Ohio University students to know that the city's response to recent increases in violence will not single them out, but they should behave responsibly.
Two major conflicts and a lack of negotiations for a contract between Athens City and its firefighters has forced the groups to present the case to a conciliator nearly one year after negotiations for the contract began.
A women's center inside Ohio University's new student center is slated to open with the building in January 2007 after four years in the making.
With Fall Quarter under way, most upperclassmen will be settling in to their new off-campus digs. And when the boxes are unpacked, one problem many will encounter in those dwellings is a sense of sparseness. Sure, two lava lamps and a Che Guevara poster were enough to fill a 10-by-15 dorm room, but when accompanied by only a Nintendo chair and a straw-filled mattress, they will leave your house looking like the barren tundra. You will have no choice but to decorate.
Sigur Ros is back, and this time, they are giving their songs titles.
The recent devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf States has spurred many political discussions that have questioned the preparedness of the United States government in such events and the adequacy of its emergency response agencies. In many minds, the hurricane exposed shortcomings in the current administration in terms of response time, ability to supply troops and enforcement and monetary capabilities. I am writing neither to affirm nor negate anyone's argument on the matter, but instead to pose a different question to American citizens: How adequate have your disaster relief efforts been?
As skyrocketing gasoline prices continue to plague Americans, frustrations with costs at the pump have subsided only minimally in response to the much greater problems left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. As discontent among consumers reaches new heights, possible ways to alleviate the financial burden on the average motorist are being considered, including the idea of lessening or removing state taxes on gasoline. Although a convenient solution, targeting gas taxes is a deceptively simple alternative that would fail to solve any problems. In fact, it might only serve to create more.
After spending Friday night watching Ohio beat Pitt, I was extremely excited. I graduated from Ohio University with my bachelor's degree in 1985 and a master's degree in 1987. Even after all these years, I continue to be a proud Bobcat Alum. I try to stay up to date on football scores and attend every football and basketball game when possible. Obviously, that is not something that happens frequently due to logistics, but I always keep up to date on scores.
About 30 people gathered in the back room of Damon's Grill last night as the Athens community came together to welcome three families who fled their homes after Hurricane Katrina destroyed them.
Yesterday Columbus played host to a rally supporting legislation to make it possible for some repeat offenders in Ohio to have their criminal records sealed after seven years without committing another crime. Although seemingly controversial at first glance, the proposed law is evenhanded and focuses on reintegrating into society those ex-convicts who have displayed a sincere willingness to reform their lives. Because it will likely enhance the state's justice system rather than undermine it, as well as reward those who toe the line, the bill should pass.
