BedPost: Contemplating contraception: the pill isn't right for everyone

Dear Bedpost,

Science with Dan: Birth abnormalities and disorders should not be cause for stigmatization, rather acceptance

In the present day, each person is faced with a constant plethora of issues in which one is forced to deem whether something is right or wrong based on a chosen set of rules which we give credence to as morality. Some things are more cut and dry such as murder, stealing and rape. Others, like gender identity crisis in cases of those born with hermaphroditism and other genetic disorders, cannot be labeled so easily by categorized levels of what is moral, much in the same way they cannot be labeled in the biological sense.

Green Beat: Balance is difficult, but possible to find

Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word meaning “life out of balance." Few terms are likely to sound or look more foreign to most of us, yet it sums up our way of life perfectly.

That's A Wrap: Quicksilver will zoom his way into theaters soon

Even though the new Thor film, Thor: The Dark World, will be released next month, most comic book film news lately has been centered on the new X-Men film, X-Men: Days of Future Past. iO9, an online publication that covers science and science fiction, interviewed Evan Peters, who will play the role of the mutant Pietro Maximoff, better known as Quicksilver. Peters is best known for staring in FX’s American Horror Story.

Editor's Note: Curse word not needed to tell the news

Today’s front page features coverage of a march through Athens and campus Friday that was organized by a student group seeking to change rape culture.

Beauty and the Bobcat: A little makeup for when you wake up

This week has been terrible. I have had either a paper due or a midterm in almost all of my classes and I have barely gotten any sleep – the bags under my eyes will tell you that.

Streaming sites satisfy pop culture cravings

A few days ago, I reblogged a text post on Tumblr that said, “I’m so boring if I had the power to stop time, I’d probably just catch up on TV shows.”

College Matt-ers: Homecoming is fun, but rather silly

I have tolerated Homecoming for the past four years, but being alarmed by a 20-foot tall gyrating green man outside Baker while I was trying to eat my burrito is the last straw in the ridiculous exhibition that is Homecoming week.

Between the Lines: Campus should be rid of racial barriers

Editor's Note: "Royalty" roles have changed with time

Correction: This column has been changed from its original form. The editor does, in fact, know who Ohio is playing on Saturday.

Sports Column: There is no 'Plan B', Broncos need must-win mentality

The Denver Broncos are the best team in the NFL and have the best quarterback in Peyton Manning, but the time to win is now.

Keep you wondering: After the clock strikes 3 a.m., prepare for the paranormal

If you feel you are in the mood for a little paranormal adventure, there may be a perfect time to do so.

'Post' editors share common beliefs despite 38 year gap

Hey, Ohio University. Welcome to day three of Homecoming week and our third “throwback” front. Today’s front page recalls the style of The Post in the 1978.

This Day in History: Korean bombing deadly, but not for its target

On this day in 1983 there was an assassination attempt on the fifth president of South Korea, Chun Doo-hwan. Two of the bombers who were captured ended up admitting to be North Korean military officers.      

Gamer Girl: PS4 and the Xbox One: Which to choose?

Recently, I made a pretty tough decision: When the time comes, I will be choosing to upgrade my dear Xbox 360 to the soon-to-be-released PlayStation 4 (go ahead and gasp).

Science with Dan: Water is so much more than a thirst quencher

H2O. Water. Aqua. We give this substance a billion different names. We drink it every day of our lives. We usually start our days by pouring it all over ourselves. We even poop in it. It is everywhere and is involved in pretty much everything that we do. It is essential to our survival. We can only survive for three days without ingesting it, yet so often we set it aside and refuse to give it the respect that this nutrient deserves.

Editor's Note: Flashback to the 90s

Bobcats, welcome to day two of Homecoming week and The Post’s throwback week. Today, we bring you the newspaper in the style of 1993.

The PHILosopher: Backups are a must

I’m on my ninth iPhone and my second Macbook Pro. My 2010 Macbook Pro got stolen during a party last year and I bust more iPhones than beer bottles on any given weekend. Unfortunately, my column this week will be very short due to the fact that I have suffered water damage to my now second Macbook Pro.

Between the Lines: Shutdown causes delay in information, news

Phones go straight to voicemail. Messages on federal government websites apologetically confirm their dormant state, if they are even accessible. Amid the 800,000 furloughed government employees, some are public information officers in charge of communicating with the media and providing essential information. Those who are not furloughed are often overburdened and short-staffed. There is never a good time for Congress to slip into a political coma, but last week was an especially bad time to do so with Affordable Care Act Health Care Exchanges opening, the federal government shutting down and a car crash ending in tragedy in Washington D.C.

Editor's Note: Retro 'Post' designs return for the week

Welcome to Homecoming week, alumni and students alike.
