I understand the surprise many felt by the political tones of Coretta Scott King's funeral, but I disagree completely with one assessment offered by The Post's political cartoonist, Michael Ramirez: that politics were out of place and that the political comments tainted the memorial service. In the Feb. 10 Post, Ramirez caricatured former President Jimmy Carter to make that claim, labeling Carter disgraceful.

According to a new policy Ohio University's Office of Student Affairs will forward all allegations of hazing - regardless of the complaints' vagueness or anonymity - to the Ohio University Police Department. At that point, OUPD has the discretionary power to determine the legality of any reported improper hazing practices.
