Your Turn: OU students need to vote for change

Feb. 25, 2008

As a student in Athens for the past three and half years, my awareness of local issues has risen. It is so important that students take part in the vote for the local issues while they are living here. I know I will be voting in the upcoming primary and I will be voting for a change. Pat Kelly is ready to bring a change to the sheriff's office. It is important to note that Pat Kelly stands for honesty, integrity, leadership and commitment, something his opponent, Vernon Castle, does not.-

Your Turn: Work productively instead of against administration

Feb. 24, 2008

I was planning on writing a response to Mr. Nelson's Friday online article, but that will accomplish nothing. After a lot of thought and reflection, I have concluded that reading your paper or expending time and energy writing letters to the editor are no longer worth it. Instead, I am going to take my own advice and be a positive productive student leader by working alongside the administration, not against them, rather than picketing or writing opinion pieces as The Post does. I wish you all the best luck in your future endeavors. I am sure the biased Washington Post or New York Times will be a perfect fit for any of you.

Your Turn: Offensive headline undermines tragedy

Feb. 24, 2008

I can't believe how insensitive the headline the paper used in referring to the women's basketball schedule in the Wednesday, Feb. 20 edition. The headline read, Shooting at N. Illinois complicates schedule. Did you even consider the lives of the families that were affected by the senseless, cowardly act that was committed on the N. Illinois campus? Unbelievable.

Feb. 24, 2008

A funny thing happened last week, something that got me thinking. Last week, I wrote about the baseball steroid hearings in Congress.

Thinking that I was being sensitive and neutral, I used the word homosexual to describe the nature of Frank's joint prostitution ring. Frank's roommate was male, and served male clients.
