Reader issues open challenge to 'ignorant' writer
Mar. 10, 2005After reading another of Dan Rinderle's ignorant and pointless rants that are considered columns in Tuesday's Post, I feel compelled to reply to some of the remarks he has made about a figure in hip-hop culture, a culture Rinderle obviously knows very little about.
Education program could face cuts

New front page appealing, blissfully boring
Mar. 10, 2005I have been reading, with some amusement, the firestorm of outrage over the new homepage on the Ohio University Web site. While it does not appeal directly to me (class of 1973, officially a geezer), it is not supposed to. The new site is edgy and unique among its peers and hopefully appealing to this over-stimulated generation. I like the SMS, the Post-It note, the hand-written quick links, etc. For us oldsters
Web site to serve as off-campus housing resource

Controversial issues should be discussed
Mar. 10, 2005Wednesday (March 9), an advertisement sponsored by Students for Academic Freedom ran in The Post. Among other things, the ad encouraged students to contact the organization if they had tales of professors abusing their teaching privileges. Presumably, SAF will use the stories as ammunition to support Senate Bill 24, a proposed bill to curtail professors' indoctrinating or harmful speech. Like any number of college students, I suppose I'm prone to get worked up about the latest political controversies, from Rathergate to Ward Churchill. Most of the time, I'll form an opinion, froth about, and eventually get put off by all the arguing and go back to Mario Kart. But seeing Wednesday's ad, I, for the first time, became truly afraid for democracy in our country.

Progressive paranoia, loathing concerning Senate Bill 24
Mar. 10, 2005It is amusing to pick up an Athens periodical and read the letters of others who believe that their views and stature constitute sufficient validity for the conservative movement to recognize them as a threat and actively seek their individual repression. Not to burst these individuals' bubbles, but as a card carrying member of the vast right wing conspiracy
A reluctant superstar
