Sexual assault reminds students to lock doors
Jan. 30, 2005Though most Ohio University students feel safe in the residence halls, incidents, such as a recent assault in Bromley, still occur, reminding students they should not let down their guard. According to a Jan. 11 article in The Post, a woman was sexually assaulted in Bromley Hall. OU Police Department's Lt. Rich Russell said OU sophomore Daniel Unger was arrested on a charge of abduction for his role in restraining the female, and sophomore Stephen Spalding was charged with gross sexual imposition for touching her while she was being restrained, according to the article. Charges against both men have been moved to Athens County Common Pleas Court and likely will be heard by a grand jury Feb. 14. Russell said that in 2004, there were seven rapes reported in the dorms, all of which were between acquaintances, and one forcible fondling. Joe Burke, residence life director, said community life assessment surveys, which are issued to all residents, consistently show that 97 percent of students agree or strongly agree with the statement I feel safe in my residence hall. Though Burke said OU's campus is generally a safe environment, he still advises students to lock their doors. Most students do not lock their doors when they go to bed at night, and when incidents do happen, it usually involves someone wandering into an unlocked room, he said. I never really thought about it

Cavaliers raising eyebrows...and postseason hopes
Jan. 26, 2005It was a mere year and a half ago that the Cleveland Cavaliers were the laughingstocks of the NBA -they lacked talent and depth at every position, lost a league-high 65 games and carried a me-first attitude, which was made clearly evident in Ricky Davis' attempt to garner a triple-double by shooting at his own basket and rebounding the miss (needless to say, it was all for naught, as the rebound was not counted). They were a name without a face, a far cry from the teams of the early 1990s that perennially challenged Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls.
