Of late, I've been getting the impression that the so-called true conservatives would rather see a Democrat in office then their own Arizona senator, John McCain. A logical person may assume that even though these true conservatives may not see eye-to-eye with McCain, they would still support him ' because let's be honest, it is all they have. Why not cut your losses and unanimously back the man that will obviously represent your party in this upcoming election? These tunnel-vision conservatives are ruining any slim chance the party ever had. I hope these people can find some time to rest after their exhausting anti-McCain campaign because they are going to need all their energy to be infuriated about the elimination of their precious offensive military strategy on terrorism. Why, you ask? Because the next president will go by the name of Obama or Clinton. But hey, at least these two are not conservative impostors.
I remember when I was just a tyke at Ohio University: It was hot outside, and I was cranky and didn't like dealing with the humidity and the uncomfortable heat. Luckily, my room came equipped with an air conditioner which my roommate and I blasted at all hours of the day. I remember thinking, I pay a lot of money for this room
Everyone reading this letter has been affected by cancer, whether by personally battling cancer, watching a loved one or friend face a diagnosis or, worst of all, dealing with a cancer-related death. It seems that cancer is everywhere. Unfortunately, I too have lost a loved one to cancer, and this loss has changed my life forever. After battling breast cancer twice, my aunt died in 2002 at the age of 53. My story of loss, sadness and grief is one that I know many people share.

It's with mixed feelings that I read in last Friday's paper that our athletics director, Kirby Hocutt, is leaving for the University of Miami's athletic program and Kathy Krendl is trying to get the top job at Elmhurst. I guess it is to be expected; these top bureaucrats are only participating in the social climbing and individual opportunism that corporate culture promotes in this society.

While I believe that Matt Zapotosky rightfully questioned and executed the publication of the Baker University Center suicide threat, I have to wonder if he, among other prominent campus figures, was really asking the right question. As The Post reported in a roughly six-by-two inch column, located adjacent to the suicide article (which continued onto another page), an Ohio University student was briefly abducted by four males in the evening of Feb. 7. Like many other students, I checked my e-mail and The Post's Web site on Feb. 8. I had received two e-mails from the University Communications and Marketing department, describing the day's earlier events at Baker, but nothing about the abduction. Now, three days later, the only publicity I have seen of the brief abduction is brief articles and crime notices, slapped upon dorm walls next to Dance or Die ads. Is our community and its leaders so enthralled with the misfortunes of one man that we are unable to recognize the potential danger to ourselves? In case readers are unaware, which is highly probable, the four men, who sexually assaulted and accosted the victim on West Green, got away. Personally, I'd much rather receive an e-mail or read-up on preventative assault techniques than beguile myself with a micro-Britney Spears-esque phenomena. Yes, it happened on our campus, yes, it is newsworthy
