Because I Said So: Upcoming movies entice enthusiast
Sep. 29, 2009It's that time of year when movie trailers are plentiful and people attend movies more often because the weather isn't nice enough to be outside. It's like being a kid in a candy store with all of the magnificent options. I have so many favorite movie trailers that it's difficult to even narrow them down, but this is as close as it gets:

Post Letter: Discussion with writer punctuates documentary showing
Sep. 29, 2009Documentary film can be an incredibly in-depth and compelling method of storytelling, and Live from Bethlehem is a prime example. The film chronicles the everyday struggles of the only independent news network broadcasting from within Palestine and the occupied territories, the Ma'an News Agency, in a way that is both stirring and humbling for those of us who often take for granted our Western conveniences. It is an occasion all too rare that we have a chance to take an earnest and insightful look into cultures foreign to our own, and Live from Bethlehem gives us a chance to do just that. The Society of Professional Journalists will be hosting a free screening of the film tonight at 7 p.m. in the Anderson Auditorium, Scripps 111. Along with the screening, the Emmy-nominated screenwriter and documentarian behind the film, Matt Sienkiewicz, will be present and available for questions as well as a discussion of the film immediately following the screening. This screening is a unique opportunity to hear the voices coming from the Middle East so often marginalized by our media filters, and to speak directly to one of the documentarians present at every stage of making the film. Please join us for this opportunity to look both around the world and within ourselves for a more nuanced understanding of what separates and unites us all.

Post Letter: Christians should know they aren't alone in their faith
Sep. 29, 2009I write in response to Christopher Drummonds' Sept. 29 letter, itself in response to a letter by John Spofforth. Mr. Drummonds seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders; his call for folk to pay a little more respect to his religion is useful and admirable. I have written letters to The Post on this subject more than a few times (and miraculously the editors continue to publish them), so I will not reiterate my agreement too much that religions should respect one another.

Post Editorial: Voting for OU: Student trustees need voting rights in order to serve students
Sep. 29, 2009When it comes to major decisions, perhaps it's indifference that really is bliss. Look no further for proof than our two student representatives on the Board of Trustees.

Curator carves 'art' into perception of wood
Sep. 29, 2009Wood is often seen as nothing more than a substance used to make functional, day-to-day objects, but The Dairy Barn is showcasing this material as more than just something to sit on.

Variations on a Theme: Court Street carts rank high on 'Deliciosity Quotient'
Sep. 29, 2009I live my life by few rules. It's the only way to be totally awesome in today's society, after all. One of the rules I do tend to follow, however, is One should never consume meat prepared in a Car Trailer painted to make it look like a For-Reals Restaurant. It's a rule that's worked pretty well for me so far.
