Post Column: Cooking can be fun when playing games
Sep. 30, 2012It’s been five weeks and cooking has lost its excitement. It has become something I just have to do in order to survive. I decided to bring back the excitement in the kitchen and create my own cooking game show.
Post Column: Rules in volleyball, football are most complex
Sep. 30, 2012I have a theory that the more complicated the sport, the more popular it is at Ohio University. I developed this theory while watching a volleyball game, which turned out to be a lot more elaborate than I expected. I was struggling to keep track of all the points, which were tallying up quickly, when suddenly the scoreboard reset and instead of 25 points, we had only one. That’s when I learned what a set was.

Post Letter: Lack of balance in power angers students
Sep. 29, 2012The provost may have been right last year, but for all the wrong reasons: Ohio University might be at the breaking point. But it isn’t the fiscal situation that is pushing us to the brink. It is a combination of hostility from the administration, disregard from some of our representatives and apathy from the student body.

Post Letter: Costly Internet program fails to impress
Sep. 29, 2012With the start of another school year come many changes, one of those being new technology in the classroom. I was introduced this year to McGraw-Hill’s “Connect” for a 100-level music class. The choice was to either buy a $100 textbook that had the code for Connect or pay an astounding $40 for the access code to it and the book as well. Instead of using Blackboard for simple multiple-choice questions, we are expected to pay for digital access to something that fails to improve the learning experience. One would think that these massive companies like McGraw-Hill make enough revenue by updating their textbooks seemingly every year. The future will only hold more cost for “updating” and “accessing” online features that can be done the same way they have at the university for hundreds of years. When everything on the Internet can be found for free in this day and age, why should a simple program like this cost this much to students?
Post Column: 'Bagel heads' newest inexplicable trend
Sep. 29, 2012Most of us are familiar with our bagels: blueberry bagels, chocolate bagels … but saline bagels?

"Bully" screenings, panels address problems with bullying head-on
By William Ashton | Sep. 29, 2012Released earlier this year, the documentary Bully was a basis for controversy because of its topic and its issues with the MPAA, which rated the film R solely for language, limiting the film’s ability to screen in schools throughout the country.
