As president of Ohio University's group Feminist Coalition, I was somewhat troubled by Ashley Herzog's May 26 op-ed column (Feminists' liberalism counteracts goals). Herzog was praising a recent lecture at OU by Phyllis Schlafly on the failures of feminism.

With the Vision party's sweeping victory a few weeks ago, claiming all but one spot on Ohio University's Student Senate, it is perhaps a fitting time to reflect on the nature and purpose of OU's most influential student organization. While Student Senate is large and multi-faceted, most students are seemingly apathetic toward its existence. This year's election, as usual, saw less than 10 percent of the undergraduate population turn out to vote. This is not without reason as, regardless of what party dominates it, the Student Senate has consistently disappointed in its efforts to represent the students it serves, spending more time on resolutions concerning state and national legislation as opposed to addressing relevant issues affecting students. In many ways, Senate's hands are tied, which the Vision party freely admitted during an interview. But if the organization is so limited, then it is no surprise students are apathetic about it.

As good as the last nine months were for Ohio athletics, I cannot help from being a dejected sports fan.

Yale University ethicist Gene Outka frames the issue of stem cell research partly as one of urgency -saying that abortion involves a pressing conflict between a pregnant woman and a fetus, whereas limits on stem cell research merely affect patients who in theory might reap medical benefits at some future time.
