Your Turn: OU campus should embrace diversity of thought, politics
Apr. 14, 2008Recent articles in The Post have proved what I have found throughout my two years at Ohio University ' OU doesn't like diversity. This isn't surprising, considering it's a college in the United States and they all seem to have this problem.

But each of those has a specific meaning not in alignment with Webster.

Your Turn: Help create a world free from multiple sclerosis
Apr. 14, 2008I am writing on behalf of the National MS Society to thank Ohio University's sororities and Center for Community Service for their participation and volunteerism at Walk MS: Athens this past weekend at the Athens Community Center. More than 100 Ohio University students and community members joined together on the morning of April 12 to partake in the three-mile walk along the Hockhocking Adena bike path. Walk MS raised over $7,000 for the National MS Society, whose mission is to create a world free of MS. The funds from this walk will be used to fund direct services to those living with multiple sclerosis throughout Ohio, as well as fund the continued effort to find a cure for MS. Without the help of these students, none of this would have been possible. Thank you.
