Beauty and the Bobcat: Misuse of eye makeup overshadows expertise
Oct. 24, 2013I recently realized that I haven’t said too much about eye makeup products in my previous columns. This is because I’m terrible at eye makeup and feel like I’m not proficient enough to give any kind of advice in that regard.
Keep you wondering: Halloween doesn't have to be so haunting
Oct. 24, 2013Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, and I always felt somewhat bad about it because I believed it to be a time that people would worship evil demons and witches coming out to hunt our souls, but it turns out, in a sense, it’s a joyful holiday.

Oct. 22, 2013I remember where I was the first time I heard the story. I was a freshman sports reporter for The Post. Back in the mid-1990s, The Post was on the first floor of the old Baker Center on the side of the building nearest Court Street. It was within those artificially-lit green and white rooms that many great journalism careers were launched, probably along with several cases of rickets.

Science with Dan: E-Cigarette marketing industry is disgusting, deceptive
Oct. 20, 2013Like students at countless colleges spanning the nation, odds are that you have been bombarded by a growing epidemic that for many goes either undetected or blatantly ignored.

College Matt-ers: Trustees don't really seek input
Oct. 15, 2013This week, the Ohio University Board of Trustees fielded questions from Faculty Senate, but has planned no similar events to engage students. In fact, among the past four years, I can think of no instance where the Board of Trustees made such an effort.
This Day in History: Raid results in execution for abolitionist
Oct. 15, 2013On this day in 1859 the famous raid on Harpers Ferry, Va., by abolitionist John Brown to seize the arsenal there and start an armed slave revolt occurred. This raid happened in the beginnings of the push for the abolishment of slavery, and both Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, two of the most famous abolitionists, were asked to participate in the early stages of planning the raid. However, they both ended up declining as Tubman was ill at the time and Douglass believed that Brown’s plan would fail.
