'90s legendary group's new release lacks old originality
Sep. 22, 2004The Prodigy once was regarded as the forerunner of electronica, the kinetic mid-90s music craze. 1997's The Fat of the Land was the perfect techno album. Rugged and garage-raw, the album was lined with ear-splitting bass drums, police siren wails and walls of industrial guitar. It continues to inspire police tickets and insomnia.

Libraries should not show partisanship
Sep. 22, 2004As chair of the University Library Committee, I am disappointed by the response of the Faculty Senate to a recent incident that occurred in Alden Library, when several items in a display on art in war were removed. These items depicted one candidate in the forthcoming election in an extremely negative light. The Faculty Senate has criticized the Dean of Libraries for her decision and urged her to restore the materials to public display. During the discussion on the motion, it became apparent that many senators think it is acceptable for the university to take a partisan position in an election. This is a position that I cannot accept.

Alden's missing pieces
Sep. 22, 2004During the past few years, Ohio University has had a befuddling policy on political or artistic displays in its Athens and regional campuses. Two years ago, administrators approved the horrific, dishonest Genocide Awareness Week display, which stood on the Howard Hall Site. Enormous placards showed images of aborted fetuses alongside lynched Southern blacks, piles of Cambodian skulls and victims of Nazi concentration camps. For a week that included Passover, thousands of people walked past.
