Ohio University students are seemingly always faced with the same choice at Student Senate election time -stick with the status quo, or go with the unproven. Invariably they seem to choose the former, which is precisely what they should do in this particular election. But that doesn't make the process -or the choice -any more appealing than it was last year.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -Stacey Kennedy-Boccieri, pregnant and mother of two, inherited much of her husband-lawmaker's civilian job while he was overseas with the military: handling constituent calls, running his home legislative office and more.
In an attempt to alleviate financial burdens within the state, a number of mayors -including those of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Lorain -have recently supported a statewide ballot issue that would give Ohio cities with at least 50,000 residents the authority to legalize casino gambling in their cities. It also would allow counties that draw 1 million tourists or more per year to have casino gambling. The ballot issue passed its first hurdle last Friday when Attorney General Jim Petro approved the language on the petitions, and if enough signatures are collected -it will require more than 322,000 signatures from at least 44 of Ohio's 88 counties -then the issue would appear on the November ballots. Despite the age-old criticisms against gambling, it is time for the state and its citizens to seriously consider casino gambling as a one of many possible solutions to the state's economic problems.

As the Senate continues confirmation hearings of John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for United Nations ambassador, the proceedings have taken a surprising turn. During the hearings Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, criticized Bolton for being a bully and described him as the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be. However, despite his objection to Bolton, Voinovich decided not to block his nomination in the confirmation hearings and allowed the full Senate to vote on the matter.
The tenure of Ohio University's director of athletics Thomas Boeh ended Friday when he resigned from OU and accepted a similar position at Fresno State University. Although it might seem that the university is facing a great loss -just when Ohio sports are seemingly coming around -Boeh's decision to leave is actually the best-case scenario for him, Ohio sports and the university as a whole. Despite a few highlights under Boeh's watch -namely the recent success of the men's basketball team and the hiring of Frank Solich as the new football coach -his 10-year administration was mediocre at best, and the university is now poised to find a candidate who can really build upon the recent successes of Ohio sports.
