The long-awaited release of the report by the Minority Relations Panel addressed some obvious concerns about how local police from both the Athens Police Department and the Ohio University Police Department deal with minorities.

Dan Kauffman admits to laziness, but only as far as his eating habits are concerned.

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? I'm not against these people, the smokers, but I'm here to point out how tobacco companies try to trap you and how support of big tobacco, in any way, contributes to the deaths of 52 Ohioans every day.

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.

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.
