Editorial: Players shouldn't pay
May 14, 2007Federal Hocking's school board will meet today to decide if it will implement pay-to-play for athletics next school year to reduce the district's projected $1.8 million debt. Officials proposed a $50 or $100 fee per student, which would generate about $12,500 or $25,000 for the schools next year. This meager sum wouldn't put a dent in the district's massive debt, yet it would likely prevent some students from participating in athletics.

Your Turn: Writer insensitive to soccer player
May 13, 2007I would like to know the meaning to your zone Jason Fazzone. I read your article (May 8, Intoxicated deaths spark as much anger as suffering). Yes you are right: you are insensitive. I hope you never have to walk in the shoes of any of the Ohio University teammates or Sarah's parents. You have no idea what Sarah is to this team as well as many others at OU, and for you to sit there in front of your computer and write an article like this is beyond me. I have always thought that when something tragic happens, something good should come from it. Instead of writing an article about your anger, you should write about learning a lesson from this. Not a day has gone by that I don't miss Sarah for who she is: for her huge smile, her laugh, for what she meant to her teammates, to the soccer parents and most of all to her grieving parents, sisters and family members.

Your Turn: College meant to share ideas
May 13, 2007There comes a time in every college student's life when they must leave Fantasy Island and enter the real world. I can't help but chuckle reading the latest attacks against Post columnist Ashley Herzog. Facts and research be damned, the authors of these poor excuses to defend their agenda just know putting more guns into the general public will create more violence without any knowledge on the subject at hand. You might call Ms. Herzog controversial, but it's unfair to say she hasn't researched her opinions and thought them out well in advance. Aristotle once said, It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. It appears that Herzog's latest critics by and large lack this ability.
