A college education should be a right to everyone not only the privilaged and should never be a tool to make a profit off the less fortunate members of society who are attempting to better their lives through education

  • END DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN OHIO!
    It is time to end the practice of changing our clocks twice a year. Because we are so far west in the Eastern Time Zone, we have plenty of daylight without having to move our clocks forward every March. Further, research has proven Daylight Saving Time can cause illness due to missed medications, some of which can even lead to death. Research has also shown the observance of Daylight Saving Time actually uses more energy and costs more money than just leaving the clocks alone. It also is disruptive to children, who have to wait in darkness each time we change the clocks. It is time to stop observing this silly practice that causes more problems than solutions.
