Editorial: Ready and billing
Jan. 31, 2008Being sick at Ohio University carries more than just the promise of a runny nose and a nasty cough. Any student who has visited Hudson Health Center recently can attest to the shoddy condition of OU's primary clinic. Students seeking treatment are subjected to long waits and the facility itself is grossly understaffed. Fortunately, a new plan is being proposed that could change all that ' if the right actions are taken.

Mr. Right: Hillary Clinton the best choice for Democrats in '08
Jan. 31, 2008Hillary Clinton is not my favorite Democratic presidential candidate. If I could choose, I would pick John Edwards for his bold, progressive agenda. It has nevertheless become clear that the Democratic primary race is a contest between Clinton and Barack Obama, with each picking up victories in crucial caucuses and primaries. Given a choice between these two, Democratic primary voters should choose Clinton. Unlike Obama, she has spent her career demonstrating that she can and will bring about substantive change for the American people. Also unlike Obama, she refuses to dream the impossible dream that, in politics, everyone can get along.
Your Turn: Class offerings not sufficient

Your Turn: Ohio University campus seems to be losing its sense of humor
Jan. 31, 2008I've noticed a couple of things about OU students in the last few years. Some of them aren't so good. They like to wear pajamas to class; it's all the better if their clothing reminds them of which university they're attending. They don't really pay attention to their surroundings, whether it's bottlenecking the escalators, crossing the streets despite oncoming traffic or walking four wide on the sidewalks. Some things I've noticed are really good. OU students are active in a lot of issues, campus and otherwise. They tend to be pretty respectful of each other. And I feel like they really are dedicated to their studies, despite the party school reputation. But there's a trend I've noticed lately that makes me a little nervous.
