Your Turn: Opposition with leadership based on 'cataclysmic plunge' in OU's reputation
May 15, 2007In response to Amy Robison's letter printed May 14, charges of bigotry and racism are to be taken seriously, and the way in which Ms. Robison has flung them upon any who dare speak in opposition to President McDavis and the Cutler Hall brass is appalling. Such painting with a broad brush is stereotypical and unjust.
Your Turn: Klatt's actions speak louder than current student senators' words
May 15, 2007On April 18, Will Klatt announced his intention to run for Student Senate president. You might think that someone like me who isn't even a student on the Athens campus wouldn't care one way or another who ends up being the next Student Senate president, but you would be wrong. Since deciding earlier this year to relocate from the Eastern campus to Athens this coming fall, I've been paying attention to events on the Athens campus, and that's why I know that Will Klatt should be the next Student Senate president.
Your Turn: PULSE the best choice for environmentally-friendly changes at OU
May 15, 2007Student Senate elections are coming up Thursday, and I hope all students intend to vote. Many of your classmates put a lot of effort into the student governance at Ohio University to represent you on concerns such as student conduct and discipline, LGBT issues, diversity issues, guest policy in the dorms, alcohol policy and more. This year there are two full-ticket parties, TOGA and PULSE. You might have seen their fliers around (or at least TOGA's).

Your Turn: McDavis' reorganization of duties passes on responsibility of decision maker
May 15, 2007Last week President McDavis presented his Presidential Address to the university community, in which he appointed Provost Kathy Krendl executive vice president and provost. This reorganization is a change, but is it a change for change's sake.

Your Turn: Street preachers' insults far worse than student crowd
May 14, 2007Regarding Jon Leirer's comments in Friday's Post chiding the crowds that gathered at the street preachers: Freedom of speech is a two-way street, and it was a two-way street that was vigorously used last week. I have to say, of the moments I was there, the entire time the street preachers were more insulting to the crowd than vice versa. Perhaps you saw an outlier event. Yet you have the audacity to lecture us and call our behavior in some way unacceptable.
