The Controversy of the Fests

By Danielle Lewandowski and Amanda Pomerantz

For many years, springtime in Athens has meant one thing to Ohio University students: Fest season.  Although these Fests have become a tradition, they remain a controversy to the OU community as well as the Athens community. We will explore different opinions about the Fests, including those of OU students, a local Athens resident (now an OU student as well), and a law enforcement officer. Our interviewees include: Captain David Williams of the Athens Police Department, Alex Foor, Erica Partridge, and Joanna Garber. We will ask our interviewees their general opinions of the Fests, and whether or not they feel the amount of police coverage at the Fests is appropriate.
