Letter: No matter which Student Senate ticket wins, OU students lose

As I am a freshman, this is my first time personally experiencing the already-prolonged holiday of Student Senate campaign season. It feels like a repeat of the 2012 presidential election campaigns with all the nagging and the advertising. Unlike the 2012 campaigns though, none of the tickets seem in any way fit for the offices they’re running for.

Letter: Take Back The Night march should not include men

I was 16 years old when I attended my first Take Back the Night march. It blew the lid off my little hillbilly brain and made me feel something I had never felt before. I didn’t have a word for that feeling then, but I have come to know it as empowerment. Marching in solidarity with a swarm of women, chanting and yelling about how we won’t be raped and beaten, opened my eyes to something I had never been told before: that women are strong. That I am strong. I have felt that very distinct feeling of awe and empowerment every march since then (with the exception of a couple years when I lived out of the state). I am in my thirties now, and last year I was able to share the experience with my 1-year-old daughter, who rode along in her stroller.
