Your Turn: College students need to vote, get involved
Feb. 20, 2008When I first arrived at OU in 1982 and unloaded my bags in front of Read Hall, I had very little interest in politics. I did all the normal things that college freshmen do but remained apolitical. Since then I have made my home in Washington, D.C., New York, Seattle and now Los Angeles. And along the way, I found that I gradually became involved in my community and the politics that helped to shape it.

The Other Side: Handguns are 'necessary evil' for self-defense
Feb. 20, 2008How many more people have to die before college administrators stop establishing useless gun-free zones as the solution to campus violence? Last week, a Northern Illinois University student opened fire in a packed classroom, killing six students, including himself, and wounding 16 others in a matter of minutes. Of course, no one should be surprised. It was the 45th shooting to take place on a gun-free campus since 1996.
Center of attention
Feb. 20, 2008Leon Williams winces ever so slightly as he eases his 6-foot-8 frame into a chair that clearly wasn't built with him in mind. He shifts in his seat, trying to find the best way to stretch out comfortably.

Your Turn: 'Discuss real change' about politics
Feb. 20, 2008Why do we vote for lawmakers rather than committee members? This is one of several questions that I hope you will pose to students, faculty and others, including candidates for public office.
What I Do Every Week, Pinky: Disabilities are the key to an Oscar
Feb. 20, 2008Well, True Believers, it's February, and that can only mean three things: Valentine's Day (Singles Awareness Day, if we're being politically correct), temperatures cold enough to make penguins angry at life and Oscar season. The good old Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be making its decisions soon as to which movies we should love and which actors and actresses we should fawn over.

Your Turn: Posting picture inconsiderate
Feb. 20, 2008Your choice to identify and print the picture of the person who attempted suicide was not professional and a great disservice to that individual. What good does printing his name and picture do for society? His life has enough traumas without his picture and name being strung up on the front page of a newspaper. Your decision to publish excerpts of his suicide letter defies comprehension and taste.

Feb. 19, 2008I hate to write again so soon, but The Post is out of control. I hope someone can read this and reconsider the direction of a newspaper that is part of my university.
Your Turn: Evolution is not an 'unrealistic coincidence'
Feb. 19, 2008As I read through columnist Alissa Griffith's column on Wednesday, I had to convince myself that I had not been transferred overnight to Oral Roberts University without my knowledge. Ms. Griffith comments, There are those who have insisted that the concept that every living creature is the product of some incredibly unrealistic coincidence (a.k.a. evolution) be stuffed down young throats in public schools. And

Your Turn: Griffith claims knowledge in fields where she has no experience
Feb. 19, 2008I am glad The Post recently published a column challenging evolution; it's been a few years since we've had that debate, but I'll bite. Which articles, specifically, have you seen lately which refute God? Typically, the scientific method only aims to refute things that are falsifiable ' the claim of a creator deity is non-falsifiable and non-scientific, and therefore it would be a waste of research funding to attempt to refute God. A lot of research, however, is done studying processes like evolution (these become handy as bacteria evolve to be more resistant to different types of antibiotics, for example).
