Post Letter: Smoking has never been protected by First Amendment
Oct. 4, 2009While I was skimming through the opinion page of The Post last weekend, I found myself being severely offended by Nate Nelson's letter, Freedom of expression stifled by smoking ordinance. I agree with his main argument that the Student Senate cannot ban smoking on campus when it is not illegal. However, in making his argument, he ignorantly referred to smoking as being protected behavior under our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and expression. This is wrong, as there is nothing in the First Amendment that allows for smoking.

Post Letter: Homecoming ticket prices cost OU an alumnus' support
Oct. 4, 2009I am desperately trying to figure out why Ohio University changes the prices of football tickets throughout the season. Basketball, baseball, softball, etc. might do it too, but today I am discussing football. Why is it that one day we can get a ticket for five or 10 or 15 dollars, but when it's Homecoming it suddenly becomes $30. Why is that? Oh, yes ... it's because parents and alumni rushing back to their alma mater wanting to spend time with their kids and relive a little bit of yesteryear don't care what it costs to do that kind of thing. Honestly, 30 dollars?
