A Hard Left Hook: Religious tests have no place in campaign politics
Oct. 7, 2008We all remember the controversy over statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's former pastor. Now Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is under scrutiny for her own pastor's views and actions. The role of religion in government has been a matter of debate since before the birth of our republic, but less attention has been paid to the role of religion in campaign politics. Should the religious views of a candidate or a candidate's pastor be taken into consideration and, moreover, should those views disqualify a candidate from serving in public office?

Post Letter: University should support local artists, not outsiders
Oct. 6, 2008The recent brick piece set at Adams Hall that was designed by the Wexlers, a New York design team chosen for OU by a set (sect) of elitist campus people, is yet another sad example whereby we local artists are being ignored for art commissions on campus. Why hell, these outsiders didn't even BUILD their thing! They hired local bricklayers for that ' the only good thing about this ongoing scam.

Post Letter: 'Almost-private concert' stirs memories for alumnus
Oct. 6, 2008Today I had the rare privilege of an almost-private concert by the Marching 110 ' in New Jersey. They arrived at a little past 10 a.m. at a high school football field in Rutherford, N.J., to practice for their October 5 halftime performance for the NY Giants. There were a total of three spectators: my brother, sister-in-law and I. It was a cold, overcast, dreary day until the 110 arrived. Their practice, viewed from wherever I chose to stand, was something I will never forget. As a former resident of Parks Hall ' actually, one of the last ' I remember the daily practices at the intramural fields that Parks overlooked, but that was 30 years ago and at times not well received. Today's practice was sublime. The weather was ignored and I just could appreciate the skill, dedication and effort of the Most Exciting Band in the Land again.
