We know you’re nervous, but relax. Take your time, and don’t make a hasty, last-minute decision. Make sure to pick the right person, and learn all you can about that person to make sure you’re compatible.
I love Oklahoma State University athletics. Sitting in the stands surrounded by fellow students cheering on our teams is one of the best parts about being an OSU student. This year OSU changed student ticketing, and made it easier to attend sporting events.
A fresh start to another school year is one of many things to look forward to, as energetic students flock campus grounds once again.
I’m happy to announce that oil prices have collapsed from their $147.27 high from July 11. In the immortal words of Paris Hilton, “Energy crisis solved.” Well, maybe not.
This past week more than 100 college presidents from universities across the country signed a petition urging Congress to consider lowering the legal drinking age from 21 to 18.
Albert Einstein once said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We know it’s cliché to start with a quote, but we think it’s appropriate this time.
Daily coverage of war, terrorism, energy crisis and global warming is turning newspapers and broadcast news into collectors of tragedies. The socially-conscious citizen of today requires a strong dose of courage and a good stomach to watch the news or read the paper in the morning and still be able to enjoy breakfast.
Doing doughnuts in a golf cart, dancing half-naked on top of a keg, making out with someone whose name you don’t remember the next morning. At one time or another, an O’Collegian Editorial Board member has gotten drunk and done one or more of those activities.
Americans love a good narrative. Yet, what they seem to love even more than that is an artfully constructed, though not necessarily true, fairy tale, a contemporary myth in which a young hero sets out on an impossible quest to prove his self-worth and carve his place in history. Contemporary American politics is [...]
“You realize you are a traitor to this country, right?” my friend asks the TSA Officer in Tulsa International Airport as we make our second trip through airport security that morning.
A few months ago, during the OSU presidential search, The O’Collegian Editorial Board placed our own “want” ad for the position in this space. As far as we can tell, we would probably have hired OSU President Burns Hargis, too.
The U.S. is a competitive nation. If we aren’t competing against someone else, we are competing against ourselves. Each individual wants to be better than the other. Our athletes are some of our greatest heros, and we like to think our world-class athletes are better than the rest of the world.
The debate about using less, more, or alternative energy is not something new, but it seems to resurface every time gas jumps up a bit or whenever a national election is on the horizon.
As much as it hurts to admit, The O’Collegian Editorial Board isn’t as secret, elusive or cool as Yale University’s famous Skull and Bones Society.
In a world of economy giants thirsty for oil, political decisions are unlikely to achieve any social benefit. In fact, innocent people end up paying the highest price of power conflicts.

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.”
