Your turn: Christian students should be permitted to spend Good Friday outside of class

Mar. 11, 2009

With spring break shortly around the corner, I always think of Easter and attending church with parents. As I was planning a trip home for Easter weekend, I am surprised and a little perplexed on not having Good Friday off as a holiday. Why do we celebrate the day Jesus was resurrected but not the day he gave his life? I look at the two and ponder why or how one could be more important than the other. Without the first monumental act we would have never had the second act, the resurrection. Who decides which is more important and which one becomes a holiday? I look at the holidays we now celebrate and try to weigh them against Jesus giving his life for our sins. I think of holidays such as New Year's Day and wonder why that is a national holiday over Good Friday. When in reality, we are celebrating the start of a new year and new things to come; almost a fresh start from the previous year. Isn't this what Jesus gave us too?

Post editorial: Fair feedback

Mar. 11, 2009

It's no secret that The Post's editorial board doesn't have much confidence in the Ohio University Board of Trustees. But that isn't the reason that this year's Student Senate ballot should include a vote of confidence in the trustees.

Faulty criticisms of OUCIF ignore illustration's motive

Mar. 10, 2009

As Professor Hicks asserts, I may well be audacious, but my audacity has no bearing on the facts of the letter to which Professor Hicks was responding in the matter of the negative relationship between faculty unionization and rankings of institutional quality. The point of my reference to tobacco use and health outcomes was to provide a compelling illustration of the fundamentally incorrect reasoning used to attack the OUCIF report by putting that reasoning in a more obvious and, for purposes of the present argument, neutral context. Professor Hicks responds that the OUCIF report is flawed because it is unscientific and therefore properly attacked. I invite you to evaluate Professor Hicks' specific criticisms in light of the actual content of the OUCIF report. You can review the report along with other OUCIF statements on faculty unionization at http://oufacultyindependence.blogspot.com, and arrive at your own judgments.

Invest $5 million in clean energy, not harmful coal plant

Mar. 10, 2009

Post columnist Cathy Wilson is right. The proposed AMP-Ohio coal plant in Meigs County is not a form of 'advanced energy.' In fact, I would argue no form of coal is advanced energy. In addition to the $30 million low interest loan the state of Ohio could be giving AMP-Ohio for building this plant, the Ohio Department of Development is considering granting $5 million to AMP-Ohio. That money could be going to fund dirty, exploitive, near-sighted coal.
