Post Letter: FAFSA overhaul is vital for a fair distribution of funds
Oct. 21, 2009When it comes time to divvy up financial aid to those who truly need or deserve the assistance, government programs relying on the FAFSA form fail miserably year after year. Students who pay for their own collegiate education despite FAFSA's determination that they are not in need of financial aid are easily the most financially disadvantaged students graduating from colleges today. Yet we - the students suffering almost $20,000 in pure debt each year in exchange for an Ohio University education - are also consistently overlooked when applying for scholarships and are often deemed undeserving of work-study positions.

Post Letter: Homecoming needs recap
Oct. 21, 2009It really sucks that all The Post has about Homecoming were two pictures with two small captions under each photo. There should have been a whole page with pictures of the Homecoming weekend events, and at least a article of everything that happened. I'm really disappointed in The Post for it's lack of creativity, and not supprised by it's laziness NOT to put together anything substantial about Homecoming weekend. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Post Letter: Issue 6 will give Meals on Wheels the tune-up it needs
Oct. 21, 2009Twenty-six years ago, I was the public relations director at the Hocking Athens Perry Community Action agency. One of my jobs was to write stories about the programs the agency operating. One of those programs was Meals on Wheels. One autumn day, I went out with a driver who was delivering those meals in the Jacksonville area. The Meals on Wheels program delivers a hot, cooked meal to senior citizens who are low income and homebound. The noon meals that the driver brought allowed them to have at least one cooked meal a day, but it gave them more than that, it gave them a few moments of companionship. The arrival of the Meals on Wheels driver met a few moments of conversation and those moments were just as important as the meal.
