An appalling piece of literature was created by Brent Rinehart, an Oklahoma County Commissioner who is up for re-election and handed this out to members of the Oklahoma Republican party.
Is this what we want representing Oklahoma?

This year we have the opportunity to elect someone to replace Jim Inhofe. He’s one of our two U.S. Senators. You may have heard about his crazy, nonsensical rants in front of the Senate.

Knowing yourself, your desires and wishes is the key to developing as an independent and self-driven individual… at all stages of life, especially at college.

I know there are real problems in the world and that this space could be better used to try inform those of you not just doing the sudoku and/or crossword of those problems, but all I can think about this week is “The Dark Knight.”

Video games: the vice of our generation. Subsequently, technology: the ultimate moneymaker. New systems are released every year, sometimes more than once a year, as competing companies must constantly put out the latest, top-of-the-line, cutting edge interactive entertainment.

Shortly after being hired as the public affairs director at Arlington National Cemetery, Gina Gray felt bothered by some new media limits on funeral services.

The O’Collegian’s editorial board has found one of America’s biggest problems: Our love of complaining.

Bob Darcy’s column “Stillwater: Ambiguous College Town” interested me because, even though I have read a great deal of SF/fantasy and action/adventure fiction, I was unfamiliar with Steven Gould’s 1992 novel “Jumper.”

According to the Associated Press, the new police chief of Flint, Mich., is going to crack down on crack. Not the drug, but the kind that can be seen when young men wear their trousers too low on their hips.

On Feb. 14, 2008, “Jumper” opened in theaters. When protagonist, Davy finds he can teleport he leaves Ann Arbor for New York City.

OSU: public university and part of America, “land of the free.” But when it comes to getting an education – well, that’s not even remotely close to being free.

I first want to address the editorial board accusing the administration of poor grammar. The editorial staff of the O’Colly should try and find better arguments to make before they insult the administration on grammar.

So it begins.
The campus tobacco ban took effect Tuesday. The logic behind the ban has yet to take effect.

Why can’t state legislatures go back to wasting our time and money arguing over what the official state woodwind instrument should be?

I don’t smoke.
I don’t like the smell of cigarette smoke and think that it is very difficult to mask a smoker’s breath and stale clothing.

The O’Colly’s board has really embarrassed itself, whether it knows it or not. You got a fundamental element wrong in your editorial, “Stillwater silences streetside picketers,” on Wednesday, June 25.

Voltaire once said, “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”

Tragedy struck Tokyo’s Akihabara district on Sunday, June 8 when a man drove truck into a crowd of shoppers, then got out and stabbed 17 people, leaving seven dead.

I want to meet the brilliant person who claimed school was about education.

Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church are nothing more than attention-seekers who mount these “protests” in order to get into the news. As far as they’re concerned, any media mention of them counts as a victory.

Eddie Sutton Court is getting a facelift, and fans can help decide the fate of the design—or so we think.

Comic book fans have to be excited about the future of their favorite superheroes. Marvel Entertainment, the face behind all of the comic books, has broken free and created its own production company.

Having been part of the funeral procession for Maj. Scott Hagerty this past weekend, it truly warmed my heart to see the thousands of residents from Stillwater and other towns turn out to line Seventh Street, Main Street and Perkins Road.
