Post Editorial: Fair representation: Senate's efficient leaders epitomize student needs

They came. They saw. They accomplished.

Post Endorsement: Vote REACH for 2012-13 Student Senate

This year, Ohio University students have been offered the chance to choose from several Student Senate presidential candidates and multiple tickets.

Editor's Note: McDavis not to blame for 'degrading' behavior

As is the case every year during the weeks that follow Palmer Fest, our opinion page has been full of students, professors and administrators weighing in on the oft-riotous street fests that occur at Ohio University each spring.

Post Editorial: Burning Bridges: City will only give so many breaks until fests are ended

Whether you were home cooking a pizza or on Palmer taking shots to commemorate the flames, most of us have seen the images and video of last weekend’s Palmer Fest fire. Apparently partygoers have upped the ante from lighting couches to setting fires in houses.

Editor's Note: 'Post' won't apologize for coverage of Senate

In my four years at The Post, no kind of coverage has caused more blowback than the annual spring Student Senate elections.

Editor's Note: With OU athletic raises, tuition hike concerning

There was a beautiful irony about the stories that led yesterday’s paper.

Editor's Note: Former, present Posties convene for celebration

Being hit with tear gas in the bottom of Baker Center; suing and being sued by the university; pissing off local ministers, athletics coaches and politicians; rarely if ever showing up for class (don’t even bring up GPAs), and, of course, being the envy (and favorite mocking target) of all of the Scripps kids studying those “other” kinds of journalism.

Post Editorial: A Quick Fix - Increasing tuition will inhibit furthering higher education

For the third academic year in a row, Ohio University’s Budget Planning Council has recommended increasing the cost of education for students by asking for a tuition increase. Like the increase approved by the Board of Trustees last year, BPC has asked for another 3.5-percent hike in student tuition next year.

Post Editorial: With his departure, Groce leaves behind a legacy

It didn’t take much more than a blue and orange striped tie, but during Thursday’s Illinois press conference John Groce was no Bobcat.

Managing Editor's Note: Groce coverage takes careful consideration

Bobcat Nation barely had time to process its Sweet 16 loss before John Groce, the architect behind the season’s record-setting Ohio team, was connected to the vacant Illinois coaching job.

Post Editorial: Injustice: Trayvon's death exposes society's racial ignorance

The equation is simple. If a person admittingly kills an unarmed person, the immediate result should be that person’s arrest.

Editor's Note: Social-media 'awareness' won't end war in Uganda

Setting aside the financial questions about Invisible Children, there is much else to question about the now-viral “Kony 2012” campaign — a social media “awareness” effort aimed at bringing notoriety to Joseph Kony, a Ugandan military leader whose army, known as the Lord’s Resistant Army, has kidnapped and trained tens of thousands of child soldiers.

Post Endorsements: Stanley should finish up long-term projects

We endorse Archie Stanley for re-election as Athens County engineer. His 32 years as county engineer and knowledge of the area make him able to serve Athens County to the best of his ability.

Union experience gives Adkins leg up in race

Post Endorsements: O'Brien highlights crowded commissioner field

We support Mike O’Brien to replace current county commissioner Mark Sullivan on the Democrat side of the ballot.

Between the Lines: Chardon, OU vigil brought love to a terrible tragedy

When my alarm blared last Monday morning, I reached for my phone as reluctantly as always, yet when I slid the bar on the screen to turn the alarm off, I noticed I had 17 text messages.

The World Spins Madly On: Procrastination leaves trashy trail in its wake

It seems to me that if you have the time to snack on some Cheetos, you have the two seconds it takes to throw your empty bag of remnant crumbs in the freakin’ garbage can. I realize that we all have moments of laziness, but the littering on this campus is ridiculous. The labor required to perform some of the simple tasks that we avoid is so miniscule that we really have no excuse.

When in Athens, Wait What Should I Do?: How To: Properly schedule to avoid an 8 a.m.

Not often does a professor introduce himself to his new class by saying, “Let me start out by asking: Why the hell are you all here?” But when I took a sociology class as a post-secondary high-school student, that’s exactly what came out of my professor’s mouth.

Editor's note: Black history month still manages to be neglected

Don’t get me wrong, it was beautifully written, but I couldn’t help but dislike yesterday’s front-page centerpiece story.

When in Athens. Wait, What Should I Do?: College students have mastered the art of eating

As I consider eating to be a great American pastime, I realized that I have mentioned it here and there already.
