In February, I wrote a column stating that at the time, the Battle of the Bricks rivalry between Ohio and Miami was dead because the RedHawks were just terrible across the board.

Wide receiver Chido Nwokocha stayed a little bit longer at practice yesterday and for good reason.
I am aware that Natalie Cammarata's column Avoiding the Walk of Shame was meant to be light-hearted and fun, but I will not embrace a double standard. Can we stop calling it the walk of shame? Why as women are we still suppressing our sexuality? Ourselves? Why is it still immoral to have casual sex? Why do I have to pretend like I don't like sex? I'm not asexual. I'm fun, beautiful and I love myself. Stop passing judgment. Stop assuming that the lady walking home at 11 a.m. is ashamed of herself. Stop assuming that she had casual sex; don't even assume she had sex. Keep your crinkled nose, eye-brow lifted, twisted face to yourself. Why is sleeping with 10, 100, or 1,000 partners shameful? I have a vagina; stop judging me for using it. And why does casual sex equal bad? Why doesn't it equal Hooray! or equal Yeahhhh! Pimped another one!? Change your attitude and stop calling it the walk of shame. Call it what it is: Walk of I-just-used-a-man/woman-to-pleasure-myself-but-you-don't-know-that-for-certain-because-you-are-jumping
The International Bottled Water Association shares Cathy Wilson's concern for the environment. Used water bottles make up less than one-third of 1 percent of the municipal solid waste that ends up in landfills today. To really make a difference, we need progressive recycling programs that would keep a greater number of all plastic containers ' regardless of what they contain ' out of landfills.Missing from Wilson's article is the fact that bottled water is a calorie-free, easily-accessible beverage alternative when consumers want to avoid or moderate calories, caffeine, alcohol, sugar and artificial ingredients. We should not discourage people from making a healthier lifestyle choice and drinking more water, whether it comes from a bottle or a tap. Stephen Kay is vice president of communication for the International Bottled Water Association.
Five months after a deranged student killed 32 students and faculty at Virginia Tech, an Ohio University student with a documented history of mental health concerns drove five miles down the street and stabbed his father 40 times. A few questions come to mind.
Lunch invitations; plans for Friday night partying; blurry, low-resolution photos of friends making funny faces 'these are the things modern college students expect to find in their text messages. Before recently, few considered its potential for saving lives. But that's the unorthodox idea behind the new initiative on campus ' a system in which text messages are used to alert students of emergency situations.
So my Oldsmobile and I are sitting at a crosswalk waiting for the mass of students to finish crossing the street. We do this often, my car and me, especially now that students are back in classes. I don't really mind waiting, and I get a little extra time to think about my job hunt and what I might have for lunch.
Students can experience the hardships of Latino Americans in Los Angeles during the 1960s tonight at the keynote speech for Hispanic Heritage Month given by Paula Crisostomo.
I have been following the commentary concerning the Jonathan Bebb case. Anyone who is charged with a crime is entitled to post bond if the judge assigned to the case grants a bond to the accused. The student body and some citizens of Athens seem to be outraged about the low bond set in this case. I wish to remind everyone that Jonathan Bebb is accused of a crime, but he has not been convicted of it. Before you judge, do you know anything about Jon Bebb's relationship with his father? Have you ever had disagreement with your father that seemed at the time to be irresolvable? I don't believe that the OU students and faculty have to worry about Jon Bebb if he is released from jail on bond. Panic doesn't solve problems; it just adds to them.John Popisil is a student at Ohio University.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me ' this speaks all too well of our student body this year.-
With all the talk about a fiscal crisis in the athletic department for the past six months or so, one can only scratch his head when looking at the Ohio Bobcats non-league football schedule for the 2007 season.
Craig Leon finished third at the Notre Dame Invitational Friday to earn a medal for the third time this year. Behind Leon, the men finished seventh out of 25 teams in the men's Gold Division, while Kari Summers led the women to a 15th-place finish out of 21 teams in the women's Blue Division in the most challenging meet thus far this season.
Sadly, the Chris Yonker/Latino Student Union saga evaded me for a week or so. However, having since caught up on it, I must say the whole episode exceeds all levels of ridiculousness. From the only slightly funny satire of Yonker's, to the LSU's complete misunderstanding, misrepresentation and over-dramatization of the subject, it seems liberals have blown this whole ordeal completely out of proportion.
