Voting early works well for busy students
By
I have voted already. Last Thursday when I got up in the morning I got in my car, drove to the Board of Elections and voted. Voting early provides many benefits to busy students like me. The option of voting early is beneficial for people with busy Tuesdays who do not have a lot of extra time to go vote, impatient people who do not want to wait in long lines or people that do not want to brave bad weather, which is likely on a November day in Ohio.
Early voting best for those dedicated to their candidates, swing-voters best wait for Election Day

This is the first no-fault absentee voting (or often referred to as early voting) for a residential election in Ohio, but that isn't a reason for everyone to jump the gun and rush to the County Courthouse. Last Wednesday's article "College Democrats Host Sleepover at Courthouse Square" was an informative piece, but missed some important points.

Editors' note: Lori continues from last week to tell the story of her personal battle with HPV in order to educate women about health issues. The first four installments of this series can be found online at www.bgnews.com. I was still weighing my options: Hysterectomy or Zoladex? Did I really even want to have children? And what about the shot? What were the long term effects of Zoladex? So I did what any person would do.
College Republicans focusing off campus

I would like to compliment Sean Lutzman on an almost-neutral editorial about the College Republicans. His speculation on the lack of publicity from the McCain-Palin campaign on campus is partially correct. However, if someone is going to be the mouthpiece for the College Republicans, I think it is fair that the person come from the source, not their friendly rival.
Economic downturn makes jobs scarce for graduating seniors
By
The potential implications of the current economic crisis became clearest to me last Monday as I was riding the bus home. The House of Representatives had just failed to pass the bailout bill (merely delaying its enactment until Friday), and for the first time since the economy began unraveling last year, I saw some real concern among my peers: News of the bill's defeat was spreading through the bus like wildfire, and people were nervous for what tomorrow would bring.

Magic eight-ball would've debated better than Gov. Palin
By
Hollow, scripted and uninformed. These were the three words that first came to mind as I watched that horrendous spectacle known as the vice presidential debate. Questions were avoided and meaningless statements were thrown out. The culprit? Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
