Photos evolve from darkroom to digital

Apr. 23, 2007

In the world of art, photography has always been controversial. Initially, photography was considered to be a technique instead of art because photographers created it with equipment and not their hands, said Minsook Park, a graduate student who teaches a digital film class in the Ohio University School of Art. Today, most would consider photography art, but the development of digital technology has continued to alter the way that people perceive and teach photography.

Your Turn: OU's support for VT a source of pride

Apr. 22, 2007

Today as I was watching the news coverage of the horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech, the broadcast mentioned the outpouring of support from other colleges. As an OU grad, I have always been extremely proud of my alma mater, but never more than today when it was mentioned that the OU community would wear Hokie colors in a display of support.

Your Turn: Column perpetuates stereotypes

Apr. 22, 2007

This commentary comes in response to the April 19 article, Sororities counteract fight for positive body image written by Alex Jabs. I'd like to first thank Ms. Jabs for presenting the Ohio University community with the traditional, generic stereotypes and generalizations of greeks and greek life that have remained intact due to the ignorant viewpoints presented by people who aren't a part of the greek system. Her narrow-minded and extremely biased viewpoint of greek life only furthers the dangerous stereotypes of greek life as an institution, giving all individuals outside of greek life the impression that we greeks are nothing more than members of an unhealthy cult.

Your Turn: Greek life 'an enriching experience'

Apr. 22, 2007

Alex Jabs's commentary on sorority life is the epitome of ignorance. It has been some time since I have read a commentary so acidic and spiteful toward a student organization that benefits not only this campus, but the nation as a whole. Contrary to her knowledge based off of Will Ferrell movies, greek life is an enriching experience that greatly benefits those who participate. The occasional community service events that are made to create a good image are in fact extremely beneficial to the community. Delta Gamma's recent philanthropy event of Anchor Splash raised well over $1000 for charity.

Your Turn: Delta Zeta experience respectable

Apr. 22, 2007

Freshman year, I became a member of Delta Zeta by going through formal recruitment. After that day, the girls in your pledge class start new member education, where every member must learn about her sorority in and out. During this time, I was never subjected to having my fat circled, my breast size analyzed or been challenged to a puking contest. I can go further to say that the Delta Zeta sorority stands strong by a Zero Tolerance Hazing Policy that every sorority must abide by. Not only was I treated with respect, but I was able to become involved in several philanthropic activities. Delta Zeta's main goal was to support the hearing- and speech-impaired. The Ohio University chapter, along with Delta Zetas nationwide, raise money for organizations such as Sound Beginnings, which make mothers aware of the need for newborn hearing tests and also Gallaudet University, the only four-year school to offer an education solely for the deaf.

Apr. 22, 2007
