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.

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.

The protest hosted by Students for a Democratic Society on Friday raised a number of important issues, but the most vital was the demand for a restructuring of university government. The way Ohio University is governed is at the root of the controversies that have angered the university community in recent years, including last year's athletics cuts and this year's decision to cut 24 union jobs from Facilities Management. If the administration ever hopes to see an end to these controversies, it is going to have to reform the way the university is governed.
