COLUMNS

Between the Lines: Campus should be rid of racial barriers

Editor's Note: "Royalty" roles have changed with time

Correction: This column has been changed from its original form. The editor does, in fact, know who Ohio is playing on Saturday.

Sports Column: There is no 'Plan B', Broncos need must-win mentality

The Denver Broncos are the best team in the NFL and have the best quarterback in Peyton Manning, but the time to win is now.

Keep you wondering: After the clock strikes 3 a.m., prepare for the paranormal

If you feel you are in the mood for a little paranormal adventure, there may be a perfect time to do so.

'Post' editors share common beliefs despite 38 year gap

Hey, Ohio University. Welcome to day three of Homecoming week and our third “throwback” front. Today’s front page recalls the style of The Post in the 1978.

This Day in History: Korean bombing deadly, but not for its target

On this day in 1983 there was an assassination attempt on the fifth president of South Korea, Chun Doo-hwan. Two of the bombers who were captured ended up admitting to be North Korean military officers.      

Gamer Girl: PS4 and the Xbox One: Which to choose?

Recently, I made a pretty tough decision: When the time comes, I will be choosing to upgrade my dear Xbox 360 to the soon-to-be-released PlayStation 4 (go ahead and gasp).

Science with Dan: Water is so much more than a thirst quencher

H2O. Water. Aqua. We give this substance a billion different names. We drink it every day of our lives. We usually start our days by pouring it all over ourselves. We even poop in it. It is everywhere and is involved in pretty much everything that we do. It is essential to our survival. We can only survive for three days without ingesting it, yet so often we set it aside and refuse to give it the respect that this nutrient deserves.

Editor's Note: Flashback to the 90s

Bobcats, welcome to day two of Homecoming week and The Post’s throwback week. Today, we bring you the newspaper in the style of 1993.

The PHILosopher: Backups are a must

I’m on my ninth iPhone and my second Macbook Pro. My 2010 Macbook Pro got stolen during a party last year and I bust more iPhones than beer bottles on any given weekend. Unfortunately, my column this week will be very short due to the fact that I have suffered water damage to my now second Macbook Pro.

Between the Lines: Shutdown causes delay in information, news

Phones go straight to voicemail. Messages on federal government websites apologetically confirm their dormant state, if they are even accessible. Amid the 800,000 furloughed government employees, some are public information officers in charge of communicating with the media and providing essential information. Those who are not furloughed are often overburdened and short-staffed. There is never a good time for Congress to slip into a political coma, but last week was an especially bad time to do so with Affordable Care Act Health Care Exchanges opening, the federal government shutting down and a car crash ending in tragedy in Washington D.C.

Editor's Note: Retro 'Post' designs return for the week

Welcome to Homecoming week, alumni and students alike.

Green Beat: Omega-3 a necessary acid that's good for you and me

If you like the taste of fish more than the smell of it, then this is the column for you. Seafood tastes great — as your taste buds will attest — and it’s great for you, as research proves. But how can we get our seafood fix without killing the planet? I’ll tell you how, after looking at why one component of seafood has been in the news lately. I’m thinking, of course, of omega-3s.

That's A Wrap: 'Gravity' film should be out of this world

Gravity, the new Sandra Bullock and George Clooney movie, came out Friday and is now breaking box office records. With its $55.6 million three-day hull, Gravity has broken the record for best October weekend openings of all time, which is great for a film with a $100 million budget.

Beauty and the Bobcat: It's hard to pass up on makeup at drugstores

Last week I discussed how I went to CVS and purchased drugstore-brand foundation products, a difficult task that turned out to be not so bad. But I have a confession to make: I didn’t stop there… I also bought other products that I just couldn’t resist.

Keeping you wondering: Dogs are not only seeing in black and white

A study recently found that man’s best friend could possibly see in slow motion, which may suggest dogs could potentially detect spirits.

College Matt-ers: A eulogy to the quarter system

It’s been more than a year since quarters gave up the ghost, but the pain of losing quarters still keeps me up at night.

Between The Lines: Maybe there is more good out there than bad

It took traveling more than 6,000 miles, crossing an international border, losing luggage and running on barely any sleep — all in about four days — for me to come to one simple realization:

Gamer Girl: Shattered screen leads to new phone possibilities

After spending years treating my cellphones with care, the inevitable happened. I dropped my beloved Samsung Galaxy S3 on my driveway, leaving it to one of the worst fates cellphones can face: a cracked screen (I’m accepting condolence cards for my loss).

This Day in History: Yosemite named a national park

On this day in 1890, Yosemite National Park was named a national park by the National Park Service, which is within the U.S. department of the interior. Interestingly enough, the park is currently closed on it’s anniversary due to the government shutdown.
