Your Turn: Aquatic Center has a lot to give
Apr. 15, 2008The 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.

Meditation on eating in class

The lives of southern belles may depress you
Apr. 15, 2008MTV'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:
