Maybe it's just me: OU alumni should consider donating money to minority scholarships

Ohio University recently reported that the Urban Scholars Program received $850,000 from alumnus James Bartholomew's estate. Although I do not directly benefit from the Urban Scholars program, the donation is great news to me. More alumni should follow his lead and donate to the scholarship. Why? Because I am certain that when minorities are given scholarships, we all benefit.

The Voice of Reason: Don't give illegal immigrants driver's licenses

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is pushing to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. In a debate last week, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stumbled when asked about her feelings on the issue. But the American people deserve clarity on this issue because it is the latest chain in a disturbing trend. The security, sovereignty and culture of the United States are being sacrificed on the altars of multiculturalism, cheap labor and outright disregard for the rule of law.Clinton skirts around the issue for political reasons, something she shares with the Washington mainstream. However, her poll numbers have already begun to dip because a majority of Americans are opposed unequivocally to the idea. In a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, 77 percent of American adults oppose giving licenses to illegal immigrants. Even among Democrats, 68 percent are in opposition. This is perhaps the one issue that truly unites people across the political divide, which is all the more reason for the government to act.

The Yellow Line: Women don't know what they risk when binge drinking

This weekend I was in a bar with friends when we heard a loud thump behind us. A clearly wasted girl had crashed onto the floor. Her eye makeup was down her face and her bra and thong were exposed. Giggling, her friends helped her up and dragged her out the door, where hopefully they stumbled home and not to another bar.

How sweet it is: Bobcats advance to Sweet 16

Editor's note: The field hockey story on the front page of today's printed newspaper was placed there incorrectly. The story that ran was a Nov. 2 story previewing the Bobcats' appearance in the Mid-American Conference tournament. The correct story, which can be viewed below, was a recap of the team's victory over American yesterday. The correct story will be published in tomorrow's newspaper. The Post apologizes for the error.
