Hipsters' clichéd attacks on North Face are so last year
Oct. 13, 2009As an alumnus of Ohio University, it pains me to see this winless argument continuing to stain the pages of the newspaper that I still make it a priority to read.

School insurance comes short for graduate student
Oct. 13, 2009Here we are, in the sixth week of school already, and I have not received any confirmation of health coverage. My wife and I moved here in August and were enveloped by the school processes, policies and procedures. I chose to use the school's health provider and am paying the fees for that coverage. We also paid the additional fee ($775 to be exact) for my wife to be covered as well. That money has already been charged to our credit card, so we understand that to mean they received our information. The frustrating thing is that we haven't received a letter indicating the type of coverage, specific benefits and locations, or anything!

Because I Said So: Movie theaters call for showing of certain etiquette
Oct. 13, 2009The midnight showing of Zombieland left for two packed theaters. As the lights went down, I found myself sandwiched between my roommate and some random guy. I almost got kicked in the head by the guy behind me, I was elbowed at least five times by the guy next to me and then he kicked me once - it was like the movie was interactive and I was being attacked by zombies.

Post Letter: Faculty could be more efficient using new technology
Oct. 13, 2009Steve Reilly, professor of biological sciences, is calling for Ohio University to increase its full-time faculty to match enrollments. Given how universities have long delivered education, his call is not unreasonable. However, it may be time for OU, and all universities for that matter, to rethink their model of delivery when it comes to undergraduate education in particular. A recent book titled What Would Google Do? suggests that the answer to that question may not be long in coming.

Post Letter: Alcohol is not necessary for students to enjoy college
Oct. 13, 2009Like Adam Liebendorfer (in his column of October 7th), I've got a solution for those students who want to go out for drinks, but are concerned about the after effects on their bodies - don't drink alcohol. What? you may say, How can I have a good time with my friends without drinking?
