For students without wheels, Athens Transit is 'great system'
Mar. 6, 2008Being a freshman in Athens can make getting to far parts of town very challenging; nonetheless, when living on your own there are simply times when you have to get to the store to replace some essential item. I mean, what does one do when the few friends with cars are nowhere to be found? Well, when I found myself in this situation, I reluctantly took the bus.
'Post' losing integrity
Mar. 6, 2008Over the past couple of weeks, I feel it necessary to let you know how I feel about The Post as of late. Mistakes are being made constantly. Information is either incorrect to begin with or sources are not reliable. Do not get me wrong; I read the newspaper every day and enjoy doing so. With that said, I feel that the editor in chief needs to be much more careful in the future about what is being printed in The Post. I am not going to blame anybody for his or her articles; I am sure that he or she at the time felt the right thing was being done. I do, however, feel that your staff needs to be lectured on how to accurately collect information before submitting it to a newspaper that is read by thousands of people every day. It seems as if every week I read about something that has been incorrect. An e-mail yesterday evening, a front-page apology from the editor in chief a week or two ago. The integrity of the newspaper is going down hill. I do not pretend to think that I know how to be the editor of the newspaper; I just feel that in my time spent here in Athens, this year I have read about far too many wrongdoings than in any year before.

Green with envy: Environmentalists, scientists need to reconcile
Mar. 6, 2008Whenever I have a column to write, I know when I have my geography-major friend (he specializes in environmental hazards and sustainable communities) proofread it that it's probably going to get torn to shreds. After it is published each Friday, I am fairly confident my chemistry-major friend is going to point out what is inaccurate scientifically. I'm also positive that each week my ISE-major friend will be mad he isn't the centerpiece of my column, but that's beside the point.

Mr. Right: Student Senate neglects OU's greek community
Mar. 6, 2008It's widely believed within OU's greek community that the McDavis administration has been unfriendly toward fraternities and sororities. Many are concerned that the Department of Campus Life is micromanaging important aspects of greek life through the various organizations responsible for governing fraternities and sororities. One wonders, then, why so many greeks are supportive of the current Student Senate. Over the course of this year, senators have done nothing to demonstrate that the concerns of the greek community are important to them, and this should lead their greek supporters to question the wisdom of continuing that support.
