Some Ohio State students aren’t jumping on Governor John Kasich’s ‘barn’ storming bandwagon for Issue 2. This week, Kasich is launching a series of pro-Issue 2 rallies in various cities in Ohio. A barn in Logan County was one of the first places Kasich visited Oct. 10. Kasich encouraged the audience to vote yes on Issue 2, which is a referendum to the vote on Senate Bill 5. One supporter of Issue 2, betterohio.org said that by voting yes, the law will allow “government employees to give local communities the flexibility they need to get taxes and spending under control.” Opponents of Issue 2 say the law limits collective bargaining among public employees in Ohio. Voting yes on Issue 2 is a vote in favor of SB 5, voting no is a vote against SB 5. Kasich said he promotes Issue 2 because of the merit-based pay and the elimination of hiring workers based on longevity. But some students are not convinced. Chris Dalton, a first-year in political science, said that Issue 2 is more than merit-based pay and teacher seniority.
He said the correlation between Issue 2 and SB 5 is one that is too close to comfort. “This is one of the most extreme bills I have heard of,” Dalton said. Issue 2 requires people to pay into their retirement and health benefits when they may have never had to do so before. Some say this hurts the middle class economically. “I think we are hurting the middle class by letting some people pay zero,” Kasich said. Kasich said Issue 2 will actually help middle class workers by ensuring a fair payment from everyone. However, Dalton said he thinks there are other ways to fix this problem. “Kasich and other Republicans came into office saying unions have a lot of power,” Dalton said. Dalton said they see this as a way of fixing the problem, but it is just too extreme. Jimmy Alford, a first-year in international studies, said he does not see any positive outcome if Issue 2 is passed. “Even if it is something that would help (the economy), it’s not the right thing to do,” Alfred said. Many people worry that Issue 2 supports the diminishment of the union’s ability to collectively bargain. Lisa Seiberling, a local teacher at Indianola Alternative Elementary

Gov. John Kasich is touring Ohio to promote Issue 2, a referendum to the vote on Senate Bill 5. School, said she believes teachers have the right to negotiate and she disagrees with the leaders who support Issue 2. “The people pushing it are idiotic,” Seiberling said. The timing of Issue 2 is also something that bothers Alford. “It came at the worst possible time, right after a recession,” Alford said. Many organizations around campus have also been working to inform students about Issue 2 and SB
5. Dalton said he has been involved with We are Ohio and College Democrats to encourage people to vote no on Issue 2. Although Issue 2 might not personally affect some college students, it is going to take a little more than ‘barn’ rallies to convince some OSU students. “We may not be generally affected,” Dalton said. “But it affects hundreds and thousands of Ohioans, and we are Ohioans.”

While the perception of yoga is that it is an activity largely exercised by females, the president of Ohio State’s yoga club happens to be male. Michael Fitzsimons, a fourth-year in industrial and systems engineering, is one of only two male officers in the yoga club this year. Founded two years ago, this year’s club is the largest in its history, The club began with just five members, and has
now grown to about 80 enrolled members. Fitzsimons said he expects this number to continue to rise with the club’s open enrollment policy. Currently, the cost to join the yoga club is $10 for the quarter and $20 for the year, according to the club’s constitution. Meetings are held multiple times a week with typically 60 attendees, the majority of which are females. The club is quickly reaching the 70 people occupancy limit for their practice space at the RPAC, Fitzsimons said. “We’ve come really close, but we haven’t gone over it yet,” he said. “I actually already had to talk
to our scheduling intern about what we should do if we get that many people. We’ll either go to the women’s field house or maybe try to go to a different multipurpose room.” The majority of the yoga classes are led by instructors from Balanced Yoga, a yoga studio in Clintonville, but Fitzsimons will be leading two yoga sessions this quarter, he said. Danny Snider, a then second-year in psychology, formed the club in fall of 2009 because of his passion for yoga. Snider graduated in June.

The once-mighty Netflix has abandoned its own proposal to separate its DVD-by-mail service and its streaming content. The change in heart comes just three weeks after the plan was disclosed to the public. Reed Hastings, chief executive for Netflix, said having two different services, Netflix by mail and Qwikster streaming online, would be too difficult for customers. He said the market craves simplicity. “We are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs,” Hastings wrote in a blog post. “This means no change: one website, one account, one password … in other words, no Qwikster.” The plan was to have subscribers pay for the

campus Honda sales are refueled Central Ohio new car sales rose 16 percent from last year with Honda being the brand leading the way. According to reports from autoviewonline.com, a site which provides comprehensive monthly auto data, Honda’s car sales totaled 872, followed by Ford with 859 and Chevrolet with 749. September was a refreshing boost for most Central Ohio car dealers, said Jim Erwin, new-car sales manager for Roush Honda. “We are happy to see the market is coming back around for the fourth quarter,” Erwin said. “It’s definitely on the up-and-up.” Ron Lietzke, assistant manager of public relations for Honda of America, said the brand suffered due to earthquake and tsunami recovery. “Our plants just recently returned to full production in August,” Lietzke said. “We have been able to
start replenishing our inventory. We’re still not up to the levels we want, but we’ll get there soon.” Erwin attributed the boost of Honda sales to the natural disaster as well. “They couldn’t keep them on the lot, the inventory was so low and the demand was high,” he said. Lietzke said employees at most plants have worked Saturdays to meet that demand. “Our associates are working overtime to try and get our supply up in Ohio,” he said. “Which ultimately is a positive thing for Ohio’s economy.” “With the brand of Honda, we have a very loyal following,” Erwin said. “A lot of them wanted to see the brand get back on its feet.” According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the U.S. auto industry sold more than 1 million cars in September, which is an increase of 9.8 percent from September 2010. Sales in September were the strongest they’ve been since April and sales for the year are up 10.3 percent compared to a year ago nationwide, according to the NADA press release.

Bike Thefts A female student reported her bicycle stolen from Ramseyer Hall on Oct. 11. Bicycles were also reported stolen from Dreese Laboratory and Morill Tower on Oct. 10, and another bicycle theft from Mack Hall was reported on Oct. 9, according to OSU police records. Two bicycles were reported stolen from the RPAC on Oct. 9, according to OSU police records. Another bicycle was reported stolen on Oct. 6 from Archer House, according to OSU police records. The OSU police website suggests students leaving bicycles parked for extended periods of time occasionally move their bicycles and to use more than one lock to prevent theft. Free bicycle registration is also available for students at the public safety office in Blankenship Hall.
Concealed Weapon A 19-year-old male non-affiliate of OSU was arrested for carrying concealed weapons and offenses involving underage persons on Oct. 8, according to OSU police records. The incident occurred at the intersection of Woodruff Avenue and College Road. OSU police strongly encourage students to report crimes occurring on campus by calling 9-1-1 (emergency) or 292-2121 (non-emergency). According to the OSU police website, Ohio Revised Code 2921.22 dictates that “persons who have knowledge of a felony are required to report the crime to the police. Failure to report a crime may itself be a crime.” Information on criminal behavior may be reported to the University Police Division and to the offices of Student Life, Student Conduct and University Residences and Dining Services.

Several trees on OSu’s Oval in front of Orton hall. ArboBlitz was a university-wide effort to document all the trees on campus.
OSU branches into tree program eriKA deJOlSvAy-BrOOKS Lantern reporter dejolsvaybrooks.4@osu.edu Hundreds of tree-enthusiasts came to campus to join in Ohio State’s pursuit in becoming a member of Tree Campus USA. Tree Campus USA is a program that recognizes colleges and universities that effectively manage trees and that interact with students about trees on campus. To become a member, OSU must create a tree advisory committee, develop a campus tree care plan and allocate annual expenses to maintain the program. The university must also hold an Arbor Day observance and engage the students to participate in service learning opportunities dedicated to improving the trees on campus. Columbus has been a Tree City USA member for 32 years, according to arborday.org. Mary Maloney, the director at the university’s Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens, organized the event, ArboBlitz. “It was a very successful, broad turnout of various students from all disciplines,” Maloney said. ArboBlitz was OSU’s four-day event to promote the importance of trees on campus Oct. 5-8. According to its website, ArboBlitz featured tree lectures, tree tours, tree climbing demonstrations and tree care demonstrations. Maloney said she would like to see people not involved in forestry take interest and continue their involvement. The inventory of all trees on campus took place last week during the final two days of ArboBlitz. “If it were up to me, everyone on campus would take a tree class,” Maloney said. “Wherever you live on this planet, you need to know your trees.” OSU forestry majors worked with university landscape architects to divide the campus into
2A
nine quadrants. Groups of 10 people led by a guide convened on one of these quadrants known as the academic corridor, the Oval and central campus. Mike Pedley, a fifth-year in forestry fisheries and wildlife, said having guides lead the groups was a great idea. “Some people don’t know the types of trees or how to measure them,” Pedley said. “It was a learning experience for everyone involved.” The objective was to enter every tree into i-Tree, software designed by the USDA Forest Service to log a tree’s specifications and track its growth. This helps determine how current trees are coping and what new types of trees should be added to help stimulate the area. Program leaders would like to see ArboBlitz become a twice a year event, with an inventory in the fall and tree planting in the spring. Maloney said it is important to plant new ones and take care of the old ones. “This has to be an ongoing activity,” Maloney said. “New trees are added, old ones are lost.” The use of the i-Tree will keep track of the progress of all trees on campus. The OSU Buckeyes are named for the state tree, the Buckeye tree. One goal of ArboBlitz is for students and the community to take pride in their trees and to stay committed to becoming part of Tree Campus USA college. Professor Jim Chatfield, an OSU extension educator, said he wants students to stay involved in this project. “It’s important to understand how trees help us,” Chatfield said. “How our leafy friends are paying us back.”

DVD from 1A
Price-hike angered many customers, hit stocks hard. DVD-by-mail service — Netflix — and to also pay for the new online-streaming feature, Qwikster. The plan to form Qwikster was announced on Netflix’s blog on Sept. 18. Laura Ashley, a second-year in exploration, said she only uses the instant portion of Netflix, and would have used Qwikster because of all the content the online streaming content offers. Ashley said her sister uses the DVD-by-mail feature. “I only use Netflix for the instant watch,� Ashley said. “Honestly for the price (I’m) paying, it is still a really good deal.� Many customers were disgruntled about the announcement of the price change on July 13, when Netflix raised its price by nearly 60 percent the original cost. Hastings wrote in his blog that there would be no more price changes. “While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes,� Hastings wrote in his blog. Anthony J. DiClemente, an analyst for Barclays Capital, said between the price hike and the negative publicity, the Netflix brand could take awhile to recover. “Given the amount of negative news flow around recent company-initiated actions, including the price change, which remains in effect,� DiClemente wrote in a report Monday. “It could take some time for consumers to come back to Netflix.� On July 13, Netflix announced that the price for the basic package — one DVD at-a-time and unlimited streaming — would rise from $9.99 to $15.98. The announcement of the price hike sent the oncedominant Netflix stock plummeting. The price change took effect on Sept. 1. Evan Mertz, a third-year in business, said he was not happy about the change in price, but he is glad that Netflix decided to scrap the Qwikster idea. The stock, NFLX, was at an all-time high prior to the announcement of the price change in July, sitting at around $300 a share. Now just months

reed hastings, chief executive for netflix, announced that netflix will not split services. after the announcement, the price sits around $110 a share, and it actually hit its lowest price in a year at $103.13 a share on Tuesday. The closing stock line on Tuesday was $108.66. Since its peak in July, Netflix has lost nearly $10 billion in market value. With added pressure from Amazon, Hulu and Blockbuster, many analysts say the Netflix brand is in trouble. Barton Crockett, a contributor to NPR’s Marketplace, said the back-and-forth attitude of Netflix will hurt the company’s growth. “Consumers rejected (Qwikster,)� Crockett said. “They ridiculed it. Reed Hastings heard and he’s retreated. He’s made the right choice, which is to give up a bad idea.�

Club president ďŹ rst began yoga for injury rehabilitation. “I was interested in yoga and wanted it to be available for students at a really cheap rate,â€? Snider said. “And at the same time I was interested in developing community. Just development of body, mind and intention.â€? Fitzsimons said he met Snider in spring of 2010 when he joined the club to recover from injuries he suffered while playing high school sports. “I was so injured from playing rugby and other sports in high school so I wanted to heal my body, and it’s definitely helped,â€? Fitzsimons said. Snider said he took notice of Fitzsimons’ progress. “Mike had a really debilitating injury,â€? Snider said. “He’s come so far since he’s started. I’ve been able to watch him, I was his teacher I guess you might say. He really picked it up quickly and was just really into it from the beginning.â€? Rachel Weiler, a fourth-year in food science and nutrition and vice president of the yoga club, has also seen Fitzsimons’ dedication to the group. “He’s a very dedicated president,â€? Weiler said. “He’s willing to go out of his way. He wants to see the club succeed no matter what.â€? After Fitzsimons graduates he hopes to pursue a certification to become a yoga instructor, even if he is able to find a job in industrial engineering, he said.

‘Breaking Bad’ should have more hooked LANTERN Columnist MATT KRAUS kraus.86@osu.edu While networks like CBS continue to earn great ratings by pumping out mediocrity, the best show currently on television just finished its fourth season
on the basic cable channel AMC. Per episode, it barely manages to pull in 1.5 million viewers. Yet those who haven’t been watching are missing one of the most reliably tense, haunting and well-performed shows in the history of television: “Breaking Bad.” What began as an interesting little story about a high school chemistry teacher who starts cooking meth has become a captivating tale about the potential for true evil in us all. Over the course of four seasons, protagonist Walter White has changed from a mostly harmless human being into someone who will gladly pull a gun on his enemy without a second’s thought. All this has been achieved thanks to several factors, chief among them the slow, deliberate writing style of creator Vince Gilligan and his staff. Examining
where the show’s characters are now in relation to the first episode is startling, but it would have been hard to accept had the show accomplished it all in a single season. Like the classic HBO drama “The Wire,” “Breaking Bad” is a show that takes advantage of the television medium. It gives storytellers an opportunity to make each episode like a chapter in a large, epic novel. In that fashion, each season of “Breaking Bad” has been about taking White (Bryan Cranston) one level deeper into immorality. In the first season, nearly an entire episode was devoted to Walter’s inability to kill somebody. In this fourth season, he never even reconsiders when faced with such a dilemma. In fact, the final shot of this last finale hints that White is willing to fall even deeper into the black hole.
It’s not as if the show has been wholly ignored. For his performance in the show’s first three seasons, Cranston won an Emmy each and every year (he was not nominated this year because the show wasn’t eligible). His co-star Aaron Paul, as White’s partner Jesse, also won for his performance in the third season. The awards are noticing, the critics are noticing, yet mass audiences aren’t tuning in. There are several reasons for this. Serialized shows such as “Breaking Bad” and the aforementioned “The Wire” rely so heavily on what has come before that jumping in at any point is ultimately an unwise endeavor. To fully comprehend the show’s impact, you must grab the DVDs (or go on Netflix) and watch from the beginning. Not many people have this kind of time or patience, and thus
weekly procedurals and unambitious sitcoms will always dominate the ratings while masterpieces of storytelling like “Breaking Bad” and “The Wire” remain little more than cult obsessions. It’s a shame, but it’s just another example of the eternal clash between those who approach movies and television as art and those who approach it merely as entertainment. How else could one explain how a film like “Drive” can gain universal critical acclaim yet turn off everybody else? It’s because different people like different things, and there’s nothing wrong with that. “Breaking Bad” fans want to be told a story, “Two and a Half Men” fans just want to laugh for 30 minutes and move on with their lives.
Mapping out top social networks based on user simplicity, design, purpose and accessibility.
Facebook This cannot be a shock to anyone. Facebook killed MySpace and became the Julius Caesar of the social networking empire. Facebook is the do-all social networking site, connecting users to anyone from former high school classmates, to favorite businesses, celebrities, television shows, and so much more. Facebook apps on iPhones and Androids allow 24/7 access, making users even more addicted. Facebook is so big that it has its own Oscar-winning movie and phone by HTC. Google+ Google+ is eerily similar to Facebook, but the one thing I like about Google+ over Facebook
is the fact it is Google. My Gmail and Picasa accounts are easily connected to Google+ as well as Google Maps, making an already simple networking site even easier. Google+ is just as simple to use as Facebook with an easy-to-use, clear design and nothing that clutters the main screen. The con is that this site is young and has not attracted as many users yet. Twitter The bird design is a nice trademark that digitalizes the carrier pigeon. Twitter’s brief, to-the-point microblog starts a communal dialogue in 140 characters or less between strangers or friends. Twitter is great for brief news or marketing promotions, but not the best network for those who just want to stay in touch. Twitter is also
a bit tricky to learn, but simple to use once you understand the difference between the “#” and the “@” signs. I especially like the mobile app on my Android phone, keeping me up-to-date with news in the shortest amount of time. LinkedIn Every college student prior to graduating should consider joining LinkedIn. Profiles become your resume and allow professionals and companies to search for potential employees. As with all social networks, users can link together and allow more people to link to your profile and your résumé. As we graduate from college, this is a good way to show employers that you are web-savvy and a desirable candidate for a job.

Social networking sites are the craze for our generation. Bands can promote themselves with MySpace. Twitter can break national news (need I remind you of Osama bin Laden’s death?). Facebook arguably has a social networking monopoly, inviting users to keep in touch with friends and families, find jobs, or start discussions about common interests. Google, trying to keep up with the times, introduced its own site, Google+. I have no doubt that students spend an insanely large amount of hours on social networking sites, especially with availability of mobile applications. Whether students desire to keep in touch or promote themselves for a job, some sites are just better than others for college students now. Here is my analysis of the best social networking sites,
MARY POSANI posani.3@osu.edu
Myspace I will give an honorable mention to MySpace. I believe MySpace started the craze, and I admit, I had a MySpace when I was in high school. MySpace has morphed however from the “keeping in touch” site to the
music promotion site. Any time I search on MySpace, I’m not looking for friends or family, but biographical information or music clips on up-and-coming bands. My hat’s off to you, MySpace, for starting the cyber connections. These are my four favorite and top social networking sites for the college student. These sites help do anything and everything we want to do — keep in touch with friends and family, keep updated on news and eventually find careers after graduation. We live in a cyber world that is only growing and expanding, so it is best to stay connected in it.

OSU freshman quarterback Braxton Miller went 5-for-8 passing for 95 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game midway through the 3rd quarter with a sprained ankle against Nebraska on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011.
Is Miller the silver lining? LANTERN Columnist ETHAN STRAUB straub.60@osu.edu On Saturday night in Lincoln, Neb., the Buckeyes suffered another devastating loss. But Buckeye Nation shouldn’t fret. A leader may have emerged. Freshman Braxton Miller finally lived up to the hype. With the lights turned on the brightest, Miller looked anything but a freshman. Miller took the Buckeye offense to levels of production Saturday that we had not seen since the Week 1 beat down of Akron, a clearly inferior opponent. Coming off of what was probably the second-most embarrassing Buckeye football game I’ve witnessed, after the 2007 national championship game against Florida, the quarterback situation was still in question. Michigan State, in perhaps the most lopsided 10-7 game of all-time, manhandled the Buckeyes. So who would start against the
4A
No. 14 Cornhuskers? Would it be Miller? Coming off the MSU game, I wasn’t confident in a guy who looked like he was still trying to play high school football, scrambling every time his first option wasn’t open. While this may have worked against inconsistent high school football players, it certainly wasn’t going to work against Division I athletes, but I wasn’t sure Miller had figured that out yet. Or would it be Joe Bauserman? While his play against Miami was awful, going just 2-of-14 passing, he looked better than Miller last week against MSU, leading the Bucks to their only touchdown in very limited playing time. I even may have felt a little more comfortable with the sixth-year senior under center than Miller and his freshman nerves. I could have seen coach Luke Fickell going in either direction. Roll the dice with Miller and hope for the best or go with the steadier hand and start Bauserman? But when Miller was shown warming up, a little bit of excitement stirred inside. Over the course of the next two hours, that excitement only grew. Miller looking calm and collected on the opening drive, completing a couple of passes down field and having a nice run was even better. The next drive was even better as Miller showed off his legs with two long runs and then completed
a 32-yard touchdown pass to Jake Stoneburner on a tricky tight end screen play. My excitement couldn’t be contained. The celebration continued and before I knew it, it was 27-6 Buckeyes halfway through the third quarter. But that’s when the bottom fell out. An ankle sprain ended Miller’s night and Bauserman came in with one last chance to prove himself as a viable quarterback for the Buckeyes. So much for that. Bauserman went 1-for-10 passing with an interception down the stretch and essentially blew the game. He proved his ineptness once again. Final score: Nebraska 34-27 Ohio State. Excitement over. So yes, the loss stings, but the silver lining may be better than a win could have been. While his numbers weren’t overwhelmingly dominating, Miller showed he can run the offense. He showed he can make plays. He showed he can handle the bright lights. And no, he’s not polished or a finished product, not even close. So have patience with the kid, he’s only 18 and trying to learn on the fly. But it looks as though we’ve found a quarterback, a winner, a leader. And in the hardest of times for Buckeye Nation, there is nothing we need more.

‘Boom’ is back in action for OSU Jay Clouse Lantern reporter clouse.86@osu.edu
Ohio State fans will finally get to see senior running back Daniel “Boom” Herron in action this Saturday against Illinois, but maybe not in the role they had thought. Head coach Luke Fickell said in his weekly press conference Tuesday that Herron will get some touches against the Illini, but the depth chart still shows junior Jordan Hall and sophomore Carlos Hyde as the starter and backup, respectively. “You might see Dan initially on special teams,” Fickell said. “Whether he’s on the kickoff team or whether he’s on the kickoff return team.” Herron has five career kickoff returns for a total of 117 yards, an average of 23.4 yards per return. He has not returned a kick since his sophomore year in 2009. Coming into the season, Herron led all active Big Ten players with 2,194 yards rushing and 30 rushing touchdowns. Those touchdowns came in 23 different contests, in which the Buckeyes are 20-3. Before serving a six-game NCAA suspension for receiving improper benefits and being overpaid for work, Herron posted three 100-yard games in OSU’s final five regular season contests in 2010, including a career-high 190 yards against Penn State. “Dan is a big part of who we are,” Fickell said. “That’s … not just what we’ve missed from him on the field, but in the locker room, off the field and in the huddle.” Herron averaged 88.8 yards per game last year for the Buckeyes, while OSU’s top two running backs this season, Hall and Hyde, are averaging 66.2 and 66.7, respectively. Besides Herron’s offensive production, Fickell also said the team will benefit from Herron’s passion

OSU running back Daniel “Boom” Herron lunges for extra yardage in a game against Indiana at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010. OSU won, 38-10. and confidence level. “That’s something that we’re gonna try and ride,” he said. “In order to do that he’s gonna have to have a hand in it … and he will.” Fickell said Herron will have to earn his starting position back by competing in practice over the next few weeks. “Like we said seven or eight weeks ago, we’re gonna continue to get better and when those guys are available they’ll compete to get themselves back in there,” he said. “We know we’re gonna need them all. Boom’s good with that.” Fifth-year senior linebacker Tony Jackson said
Herron has made his presence felt in practice while serving his suspension. “(Dan’s) a fired-up guy, you should see him in practice when he was on scout team,” Jackson said. “He was giving us the best looks we could imagine.” Jackson echoed Fickell in saying that Herron’s energy will be a boost for the team. “Having that kind of spirit, having that kind of emotion on the road is definitely gonna help us out,” Jackson said.

Former OSU head football coach John Cooper, who led the Buckeyes to 100 wins in his 12-year tenure, before a game against Miami (Fla.) on Aug. 29, 1999.
A former Ohio State football coach positioned himself among members of the media during Buckeyes’ first-year OSU head coach Luke Fickell’s Tuesday press conference and watched. John Cooper, who led OSU to a 100-34-4 record from 1988-1999, sat quietly during the press conference, but shared pointed comments about Fickell and the program’s NCAA violations afterward. Senior running back Daniel “Boom” Herron’s scheduled debut on Saturday against Illinois leaves just one Buckeye — senior wide receiver DeVier Posey — suspended from play. The Buckeyes have had 10 players suspended for NCAA violations in 2011, and Cooper said he was troubled by that. “It’s unfortunate,” Cooper said. “That doesn’t have to happen. It shouldn’t happen at Ohio State. This is too good of a school. It is too good of a program to have that happen to us. It’s embarrassing, to be honest with you.” Cooper, who now works as a consultant for the Cincinnati Bengals, said that the original “Tattoo-gate” scandal in which
six players sold OSU memorabilia in exchange for improper benefits in the form of tattoos, was preventable and tragic. “Gosh, if (former OSU coach) Jim Tressel could do it all over again, I’m sure he would have walked down and given the information to (athletic director) Gene Smith and the compliance people,” Cooper said. “Those (players) would have sat out a few games and life goes on. It’s a terrible tragedy.” Despite the off-field distractions, Cooper said that a win against Illinois on Saturday would likely set the Buckeyes straight. “I think we need to play better, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we win out,” Cooper said. “It wouldn’t surprise me if we go over there this week and beat Illinois and come back and beat Wisconsin at home and win the rest of our games. I think we’re getting better.” Wins have been scarce of late for OSU, which has posted a 3-3 record through six games and an 0-2 mark in Big Ten play. Despite the slow start to Fickell’s first season as head coach, Cooper, who led the Buckeyes to a 4-6-1 record in his first season at OSU, said he that Fickell should absolutely be the Buckeyes’ coach beyond the 2011 season. Cooper also said that it would
be unfair to judge Fickell until he has a chance to select his coaching staff. “We have a new head coach,” Cooper said. “We don’t have a new coaching staff. We have a new coach. How can you judge a guy until when he hasn’t had an opportunity to hire his people?” Cooper also told of a personal exchange in which he advised Fickell that he should take more control of the team’s play calling. “When two people ride a horse, somebody’s got to ride in front,” he said, “(Fickell) is riding in front. It’s his team and he has to make some tough decisions. If the head coach is unhappy with the play calling … that’s why they call you the head coach. You have the authority to make the tough decisions.” Cooper reiterated that winning solves all problems. “I don’t see anything wrong with this football team that a good win wouldn’t cure,” he said. “Just win, baby, win.” OSU will go for win No. 4 on the year on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Illinois.

sports OSU’s Nate Williams likely sidelined for season TYLER ROBINSON Senior Lantern reporter robinson.1063@osu.edu
CODY COUSINO/ Photo editor
OSU defensive lineman Nate Williams attempts to make a play on the ball against Wisconsin on Saturday, Oct. 16. 2010. Wisconsin won, 31-18.
Ohio State defensive lineman Nathan Williams will likely miss the remainder of the season, first-year OSU head coach Luke Fickell announced Tuesday. Williams, a senior, has been out of action since injuring his left knee against Akron on Sept. 3 and undergoing arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 14. Fickell said Williams will “probably have another surgery” but offered very few details in regard to the situation. “I don’t know much more,” Fickell said. “It looks like (Williams) is done for the season.” Williams led the Buckeyes with 4.5 sacks in 2010. He was also effective dropping into pass coverage last year, tallying three passes defended and recording an interception. In 2011, he was named to the preseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Award, given to the nation’s best defensive end. Former OSU head coach John Cooper told The Lantern Tuesday that he feels Williams is possibly the Buckeyes’ best player. “I think we got some really, really

”
bad news today regarding Nate Williams,” Cooper said. “(He), in my opinion, arguably might have been our best football player.” As far as the effect Williams’ absence has had, and will have on the Buckeyes defense, Fickell turned the focus to moving on. “He hasn’t played since the first game,” Fickell said. “It’s a part of the game. Sometimes when you figure out
what you’re going with, it might make you better, too. “We’re not going to sit and dwell upon it.” Senior linebacker Tony Jackson said that although the team would obviously want to have Williams back, it must press forward. “We’d like to have him back,” Jackson said. “If he could go, we’d definitely have him in there. But if he can’t go, we’ve got to go on without him. We can’t just stop because we lost one player or something happened. We’ve got to keep moving on.” Under NCAA bylaw 14.2.4, Williams would be able to apply for a hardship waiver, which could grant him an extra year of eligibility. According to the bylaw, a player is eligible to apply if he or she suffers an “incapacitating injury or illness” during the first half of the team’s season, and competes in no more than three games or 30 percent of the team’s games, whichever is greater. OSU will continue play without Williams on Saturday at Illinois’ Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30p.m. and will be televised on ABC. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Back off Bauserman, blame Luke Fickell’s play calling SPORTS Columnist
TYLER ROBINSON robinson.1063@osu.edu
Shortly after Ohio State football collapsed against No.14 Nebraska last Saturday, social media feeds were loaded with comments criticizing Buckeyes’ senior quarterback Joe Bauserman. Many pinned the loss solely
6A
on the fifth-year senior. As I surveyed the rants of seething OSU fans, I began to wonder if all the condemnation was warranted. I started to feel bad for the guy, because, quite frankly, he wasn’t the reason OSU lost. Like you, I watched Bauserman’s dreadful perfromance. It wasn’t pretty, but he shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with. When Bauserman entered the game after freshman quarterback Braxton Miller was injured midway through the third quarter, the Buckeyes led 27-13. From that point on, OSU ran 10 passing plays compared to eight rushing plays. Why?
With Miller out, the Buckeyes needed to change the game plan and shorten the game as much as possible by running the ball. Why was the offense relying on the arm of the backup quarterback rather than sophomore running back Carlos Hyde’s legs? Hyde averaged 4.2 yards per carry in the second half. Leading 27-20 early in the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes had a second-and-13 on the Nebraska 32-yard line, desperately needing to extend the deficit to two-scores and regain some momentum. At that point, a field-goal attempt would have been 49 yards, and with a couple of short runs, it could have been cut closer to a 40-yarder, well within kicker Drew Basil’s range.
In a situation that begged for Tressel-ball, OSU ran two pass plays, both incomplete tosses by Bauserman. Then the Buckeyes took a delay of game penalty and punted the ball away. The rest is history. All of this goes back to the point that despite his awful performance, it is unfair to pin the entire defeat on Bauserman, even if he he appears to be an easy scapegoat. A more worthy target of criticism should be head coach Luke Fickell and the coaching staff, and their failures to recognize that Bauserman was overwhelmed and tweak the play calling accordingly.

CAROLINA PEGUERO Lantern reporter peguero.6@osu.edu Ohio State students can expect to see more footwork in the Short North Arts District as the Short North Stage, a professional theater company, opens the doors of its new home, the Garden Theater. Opened in the 1920s as a vaudeville house, a silent movie theater, and now a musical performance space, the theater will re-open Friday with a concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical, “Follies.” In the show, former members of the “Weismann Follies” musical revue reunite on the eve of their theater’s demolition to remember their time there. Similar to the musical’s plot, the Garden Theater is also in a depleted state and awaiting renovation.
Although the theater is in need of remodeling, organizers decided to keep the building as is, at least for the first production of the year. Rick Gore, co-founder of Short North Stage and producer of “Follies,” agreed to keep the theater in its original state so that audience members can fully experience the musical and the building’s history. “The theater is perfect for that,” Gore said. “We chose ‘Follies’ because our director, Kevin McGuire, looked around the theatre and said, ‘We have to do “Follies” here first.’ It’s in amazing shape, although it’s old and dirty.” The building’s exterior went through its first touch-up earlier this year. The sign, barely hung and nearly ready to come off its hinges, was repaired, repainted and relit at October’s Gallery Hop.

professor for the OSU Department of Theatre, has never seen “Follies” but said he is excited to attend and see his wife perform as part of the show. “I think it’s a great opportunity for a group of local actors to get on stage and do a Sondheim musical,” Gray said. Courtney Bland, a second-year in dance, will not attend the show but said that she is surprised to hear something different is happening in the Short North. “It sounds like an interesting show, and if I had the time to go, I would definitely go,” Bland said. “Follies” will run Oct. 14 and 15 and Oct. 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 16 and 23 at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the online at shortnorthstage.org or at the Garden Theater located on 1187 N.

In an interview with NBC4 in September, Gore said he hoped the bright neon colored sign will help attract people to the Short North and revitalize business around the area. Gore said he couldn’t provide specific figures in regards to how much money they expect to make, but said they hope to break even or profit. “It’s optimism. It’s green. The garden is growing again and it literally has a lease on a new life,” Gore said. The theater currently holds about 125 to 150 people and tickets are sold at $25 a piece. Of the six shows that are scheduled, two are already sold out. Gore also said the Greater Columbus Arts Council provided them with two grants: one for $5,000 for hardline and repairs and about $4,100 for the “Follies” production costs.

In the E! Channel two-night special for Kim Kardashian’s wedding Sunday and Monday, the cameras caught all of the drama, parties and overthe-top emotions as Kardashian and the family tried to pull off her dream wedding. Kris Humphries proposed to Kardashian with a reported $2 million ring by celebrity jeweler and family friend Lorraine Schwartz. It includes a 16.5-carat emerald cut center, flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids. When the news broke, designers sent numerous sketches to Kardashian, in hopes of getting the bid to design her three wedding dresses. Vera Wang was selected because she’s “the queen of wedding gowns,” and a family friend, as quoted from the episode. Since the engagement, Kardashian and her family worked with wedding planners, catering with Wolfgang Puck and numerous wedding details. However, as part one of the two-night event revealed, some things didn’t go as planned. The drama between Humphries and Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian’s sister, hit a high note. Khloe Kardashian appears to be testing the limits on what Humphries’ real intentions are toward Kim Kardashian. One of Khloe Kardashian’s wedding gifts to the couple was hosting the engagement party. There was drama caught on camera when Khloe Kardashian cornered Humphries’ to investigate on how true are his intentions, which ended in an argument. However, instead of an engagement party, the Kardashians might want to give Humphries a watch. Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, set up several appointments to register for wedding gifts. Humphries was late to most of them. He appeared to be overwhelmed with the Kardashian women taking over. Kelsey Tschanen, a fourth-year in history, said she thinks Humphries is proving that actions on-air speak louder then words. “I tried to give (Humphries) a chance in the beginning,” Tschanen said. “But now I see that he’s really annoying and rude.”
When it came down to the catering, Kim Kardashian stuck with black and white wedding colors and selected a $20,000 black and white cake by Patrick Hansen of Hansen’s Cakes. Humphries, on the other hand, asked if they could have “food like at the state fair.” As the first episode wrapped up, Humphries finally got some time with his friends at a tux fitting. When Kim Kardashian walked in and proceeded to take control, he had reached his groom limit. The second part of Kim Kardashian’s wedding dove right into just a few weeks before the big day. The stress was starting to spike. When it came down to the real reason for the ceremony, Kim Kardashian and Humphrises put aside their disagreements and remembered the love they have for each other. As the final hours drew near, Kim Kardashian, Humphries and Kim Kardashian’s step-father, Bruce Jenner, found some of Kim Kardashian’s deceased father’s belongings and it brought back tearful memories. Kim Kardashian wanted to have a part of her father with her throughout the ceremony. She took one of her father’s old shirts and cut out three hearts to sew one in each wedding dress. On Aug. 20, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries tied the knot with over-the-top decorations and a star-studded audience. Some OSU students who tuned in to watch the wedding had some strong feelings about the Kardashians’ celebrity lifestyles. Nicole Koenig, a first-year in athletic training, said between classes, activities and homework, the wedding doesn’t make the top of the priority list. “I have more important things to do then sit and watch the Kardashian wedding,” Koenig said. “She’s just another reality star and who knows if their marriage will last.” However, Erin Wagoner, a first-year in biology, watched to get a glimpse of their celebrity wedding. Wagoner said one of her friends saw the couple at New York City’s Fashion Week and, to the friend, the honeymoon had ended. “I will watch it because I think the wedding will be beautiful,” Wagoner said. “But, I have a friend who worked at Fashion Week in New York City, and she told me when Kim and Kris walked in, they went to different areas in the room. Humphries seemed aggravated as he used his iPhone.”
