I'm a non-smoker. I believe in anti-tobacco campaigns. I believe in taking down big tobacco's hold on my age group. How far can you walk on campus without seeing or smelling smoke?

By the time you make it into college, you've heard the people are like snowflakes line more than Courtney Love has heard I think you have a problem. Whether it's right or not, let's admit it -we've been pumped full of the concept that no two people are alike. Well sorry to disappoint, but I've finally proven that is not the case. And while my rationale is not exactly scientific, it's feasible enough that you can expect to see it on CBS in the very near future.
Despite a year where the insidious side of politics, which includes diversionary tactics, strong arming and a general malaise of bad intentions hovering over the proceedings, the hope could at least be that while the candidates are slinging mud at each other, the general populace of a sleepy town like Athens could be saved. This, unfortunately, has not come to pass, and recent political vandalism in Athens sends a disturbing sign that even politics -the most serious of all arguments -can go much too far.
You must crawl before you can walk, and you must register before you can vote. That is why, little more than four weeks before America chooses its leader for the next four years, so many groups have been pushing so many pieces of paper at so many indifferent college students.

The Ohio football team needed a win Saturday in order to avenge a loss to Buffalo last year - and to climb back to .500. The defense not only did its part in stopping the Bulls in their tracks, but took it one step further by twice finding the end zone.
