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.

The Post recommends voting in the following manner on the Student Senate election ballot's four questions regarding McDavis. The first three can be answered on a sliding scale from one to five, with one representing strongly disagree and five representing strongly agree. The last is a yes or no question.
Your Turn: Wage gap not attributed to choice
May 13, 2007Every Monday of this quarter without fail, I am left speechless by Ms. Herzog's columns. I must also admit that I am left anticipating her next inevitable piece of bull tripe.

Your Turn: Despite positive findings, report of decreased cheating 'hard to believe'
May 13, 2007Recent articles in The Athens News and The Post have reported what appear to be significant decreases in academic dishonesty among OU students especially in the undergraduate population. Cheating decreased by half in one year for undergraduates from 44.7 percent to 21.6 percent and for graduate students, 17.7 percent in 2006 to 13.7 percent this year. Percent of faculty observing academic misconduct dropped from 68.3 percent in 2006 to 52 percent this year. Although encouraging, it appears that cheating is still at a relatively high level. Also for those faculty reporting these observations, were they serious enough to be reported to judiciaries, or were they based on suspicions and went officially unreported?
Your Turn: OU administration should accept Strickland's higher education compact

Your Turn: Columnist has wrong idea about gun control speech
May 13, 2007I respect people's rights to have whatever opinion they wish to have about any given subject. However, I do have a problem when people give flat-out wrong information, especially when the information is printed in the newspaper. I am referring to Rainy Phrompechrut's article, Eliminating gun control promotes kill-or-be-killed society.

Editorial: Free to speak wherever
May 10, 2007Free speech zones at Ohio University are nothing new, but they're in the news again thanks to United Campus Ministry's Free Speech Zones discussion and the ever-present activism of Students for a Democratic Society. Ohio University has 22 areas that can be specifically reserved by anyone who wants to say anything. They include locations such as College Gate, West Portico and the Howard Hall site. The problem is that if there are 22 areas where totally free speech is allowed, there are countless areas where it is not.
Your Turn: Bill also 'hypocritical, cynical'
