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.
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.

One year ago, Corey Jackson, a 19-year-old sophomore who lived in the residence halls, committed suicide on campus.
Skipping to class
We’ll be honest. We’re renowned for not going to class, but we still know it’s important. We’re thrown into a different atmosphere when we enter college, one without credit review for missing classes and parental nagging if we’re living on campus, and we are forced to depend on ourselves for a change. As college students, [...]
Embracing democracy
There’s no doubt that the debate will be a large event, since a national spotlight will shine on OU. But does it automatically associate the school with the Republican Party forever? It shouldn’t.

Chartwells offers up cuts
Orgs should move focus to more campus events
Smoking policy loses flame
The revised on-campus smoking policy at Oakland University was the subject of a recent email blast from John Beaghan, vice president of finance and administration, an OU news article and an Oakland Post article.
Move focus to housing
As illustrated by the approximately 100 Oakland University students displaced last week from their promised on-campus housing spaces, the overcrowding of cam- pus housing is an issue.
Parking is a pain… not
Parking. The word alone is enough to prompt many Oakland University students, staff and faculty to begin a diatribe of epic proportions...
Grizzlies’ growing pains
The school is growing, yet we’re hindered by these cuts at a time when we’re trying to redefine ourselves and build a brand.
What are we paying for?
