Recently, I received an e-mail from Garry Hunter, Republican candidate for law director. Actually, he sent out a mass message to all OU students. I do not appreciate spam in the first place, but for the law director to do this, I am shocked. This is clearly against Ohio University and local voting regulations.

Recently, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling outed her beloved character Albus Dumbledore as a homosexual. The move was met with controversy in a culture that, despite its modernity, remains uncomfortable with alternative lifestyles. Rowling is allowed whatever artistic and political freedoms she desires, but her revelation does offer us an opportunity to reassess traditional values and question the place of homosexuality in a free society.

I support Garry Hunter for re-election as Athens City Law Director.
