Your Turn: Aquatic Center has a lot to give

Apr. 15, 2008

The Ohio University Aquatic Center is an untapped resource for many students. As with the Ping Center, students are able to go swimming for free during lap swim or enjoy a few jumps off the diving board during recreational swim, but that is just the beginning. The Aquatic Center offers great courses in lifeguard training, lifeguard challenges and lifeguard instructor courses. This would be a great way for students to look into a new summer job lifeguarding, or maybe you want to get your LGI to be the head guard this summer. Hey, and after taking a class, you might even want to apply for a job at the Aquatic Center. The ladies might want to check out the sun deck on the second floor to help maximize their tan. The fact of the matter is, the Aquatic Center offers more opportunities than most students realize or take advantage of.

Your Turn: Bereavement counseling available to college students

Apr. 15, 2008

I just discovered that we are in the midst of National College Student Grief Awareness Week (April 13-20), and being part of an organization that provides grief education and support to the wider community as well as our hospice families, I hope you will direct your readers, especially Ohio University and Hocking College students, to studentsofamf.org, the Web site for National Students of Ailing Mothers and Fathers Support Network, the sponsor of the event. Its mission is to let grieving students know that they are not alone and that they can find support and understanding from peers through its online programming and growing number of campus chapters across the country.

Meditation on eating in class

Apr. 15, 2008

I sat down in philosophy class fully prepared to devote my attention to Descartes' Meditation I. As I happily copied the professor's words into my notebooks, I heard it. I heard the deafening sound that was a fellow student's eating during class.

The lives of southern belles may depress you

Apr. 15, 2008

MTV's program True Life has a tendency to depress me in general, but I was especially disturbed by the I'm a Southern Belle episode that aired recently. Three girls: Leigh Anne, Raini and Kate are all self-described Southern belles who struggle to maintain their old-fashioned values (patriarchy, white supremacy) in modern society. They do this through using incredible amounts of cosmetics, participating in pageants and trying to get married as soon as possible (poor Leigh Anne worries she's an old maid because she's 24 with no marriage prospects.) If you dare, you can watch the episode for yourself at:

Stranger in a Strange Land: Why don't Americans recycle more?

Apr. 14, 2008

I often hear jaded Americans argue that the reason we do not recycle enough is because Americans do not care. America, above all other nations, is just plain lazy. I probably would have been inclined to agree with this sentiment before I had spent any extended amount of time out of this country. Now I wonder if we are being too hard on ourselves.
