No such institution as the University of Ohio

I was reading the On the Edge column in yesterday's Wildcat and saw that you included an editorial from the University of Ohio. I am writing to inform you that there is no such institution. Ohio has two state-supported universities that use the name of the state in their name: Ohio State University and Ohio University. Ohio University, located in southeastern Ohio in the town of Athens, is the oldest university in what was once the Northwest Territory and is in fact celebrating its bicentennial this year. Every once in a while, it is misrepresented by reporters and sportscasters as the University of Ohio - who knows why? I see that your editorials were compiled by U-Wire. Perhaps you need to request that U-Wire get the names of the institutions they cover correct. The Ohio University Post has a long tradition as an excellent student-run newspaper. Certainly they deserve to have their words reprinted under the correct name for both the publication and the institution. [Read article]

And ever since that day, the American public and media have shown their true idiocy by turning a stupid two-second gaffe into the scandal of the year.

Of course, the whole event gives parents a legitimate reason to be upset with the show. The performance was unnecessarily provocative; it was really too sexually driven for a halftime show, whether or not the boob had made an appearance or not, planned or unplanned. [Read article]

The bill currently in the Arizona Legislature that would push the state's last call back to 2 a.m. fails to adequately address safety issues resulting from a later cutoff for alcohol sales.

Rep. Michele Reagan, R-Scottsdale, is sponsoring a bill that would change Arizona's last call from the current cutoff of 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. The bill has gained support in the Legislature and looks as if it may make it to the governor's desk. [Read article]
