Health care change sparks discussion

Only about 15 people gathered Wednesday evening to discuss the pending health care changes and how they might affect college students.

Preserving the History

Letter: 'Weenie' letter makes poorly argued points

Anna Lippincott is poised for a great career as a purveyor of conventional wisdom. I'll leave the specific issues regarding student governance to the candidates. I would, however, like to address her disparagement of civil disobedience, the value of which should be obvious to any student who bothered to stay awake in her history class. (I'll spare a list of examples, but I suspect even Ms. Lippincott knows who they are.) Let me simply point out that all arrests are not equal. Some are the result of serious criminal activity; others are a consequence of political and ethical principle. I'd like to suggest that the latter is a better index of Ms. Marzec's motives than her supposed diet. It also might be wise, and much more telling, to consider elected officials who were never arrested but deserved to be (again, I'll spare the examples). On another note, I confess to being baffled by the connection between T-shirts and fundraising (if there's a cause and effect link I fail to discern it) as well as Ms. Lippincott's disparagement of "liberal weenies," a piece of ad hominem invective that doesn't even reach the standard of Fox News. If this is the best their opponents have to offer, Restart has nothing to fear.

Letter: One ticket shows support for women

As feminists, we are aware that patriarchy affects everyone and that its impacts are not limited to women. Last semester, ONE presidential candidate Jordan Ballinger came to a Feminist Equality Movement meeting and immediately participated in discussion. Since then he has become an active member who has shown dedication to feminism and feminist causes at and beyond the Ohio University campus.

Letter: Restart embodies progress that campus needs

I will admit that I, too, had been indifferent toward student politics prior to this election. As it has been said countless times before, the student government has been worthless, incapable of making any real impact in regard to student issues. I was previously cynical toward the Restart campaign, thinking the goals too lofty, the plans too fragile and idealistic. But one cannot deny the passionate fervor with which the leaders of this group pursue their objectives, nor can one deny the national and international support and messages of solidarity directed toward the Student Union. I realize now that my thinking was shortsighted, that I allowed my mindset to be limited by what is known and safe. Progress will march forward without regard for those clinging to the conventions of the past, and this idea of progress is what Restart advocates.
