Your voice. Heard. Just kidding
Last semester, OUSC spent $10,800 of their $86,301 fall budget on giveaways and $32,950 on events. A grand total of $43,750 on programming alone, according the “draft” budget they gave to The Oakland Post.

OUSC should not have forgotten about elections
We’re not advocating for continuous election coverage like we see on a national level, but we do think students deserve more than a few days to make that kind of decision.
Take advantage of the ‘free’ things you already pay for
Two weekends ago, 400 students traveled to Fort Wayne, Ind. to watch the men’s and women’s basketball teams win against rivals IPFW. Though the game was considered an away game for Oakland University, there were more Grizzlies in attendance than Mastodons.
Increase in campus crime calls for extra precautions
In last week’s issue, we reported that Oakland University was the fourth safest college campus in Michigan. A week later, we are not so sure we’ve held on to those bragging rights. In an ironic twist of fate, last week all hell broke loose on the OU campus.
Focus more on students, less on creating buildings
In last week’s staff editorial, we said we were looking forward to the renovations of O’Dowd Hall. After further investigations, we stand corrected. Recently, it seems as if Oakland University has made their mission to renovate various campus buildings and create new ones.
Hamilton, Oakland put breaks on six-game skid against IUPUI
A reinvigorated Oakland men’s basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak, defeating the visiting IUPUI Jaguars 93-81 at the O’rena Saturday evening.
Cheers to the new year
It’s no doubt that 2011 was a significant year at Oakland University. With the myriad of national and local attention we received, as well as the variety of on and off campus events we had, we can only hope that 2012 will be just as favorable.
