His quarterback called it “God-given.” One of his offensive lineman said when he watched it unfold, he knew it would be all over TV Saturday night. His offensive coordinator called it a “wow” play. Even senior running back Carlos Hyde said he surprised himself when he was able to keep his balance on the way to the end zone during what was arguably the play of the game Saturday. No. 4 Ohio State’s running back’s 19-yard touchdown run gave OSU (7-0, 3-0) the lead for good in its 34-24 victory against Iowa. Hyde took a handoff from junior quarterback Braxton Miller, first running right then cutting upfield and knifing through tacklers until he met Hawkeye safety, Tanner Miller, who dove at the Buckeye back’s legs to no avail. Hyde kept his balance, turned himself back straight, got a block and then launched himself into the end zone from about four yards out. “I was shocked that I was able to gain my balance back and be able to turn around and go in for a touchdown,” Hyde said. “(I’ve) never had a run like that. That play, it was working all day. And I told (running backs) coach (Stan) Drayton we need to run a little more of it. On that play, I hit it up inside and bounced right back out and the safety came down. He hit me, and I came out of it and I was still up and I was trying to catch my balance, and once I did, I turned back around and I see (senior wide receiver Corey) ‘Philly’ Brown with an unbelievable block “I got so excited and I (hadn’t) even scored yet when I saw that block.” Miller said Hyde’s acrobatic touchdown allowed him to show off his natural talent. “That run by Carlos, it’s God-given,” Miller said.

Shutdown unsettles some
Some say students pursuing government careers may have been discouraged by the government shutdown.
Though all diplomas earned at the five regional campuses — Agricultural Technical Institute (Wooster), Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark – read “The Ohio State University,” students at branch campuses have far less options in majors than students at the Columbus campus, who have access to more than 175 majors. Alexis LaRoche, a fourth-year in English, plans to graduate from the Marion campus this December, she said. “I personally love OSUM (OSU-Marion),” she said in an email. “I wouldn’t change the fact that I decided to go here in a million years. I love my professors, I love the small atmosphere, and I love knowing a lot of the people in my classes.” However, some students undergo the process of campus change from a branch campus to the Columbus campus after completing 30 credit hours while maintaining a 2.0 GPA at their branch. One reason students switch to the OSU-Columbus campus is to finish their majors, university officials and students both said. “It seems to me that more people are attending OSUM for one to two years and then transferring to either Columbus or a different university altogether to complete their major,”
LaRoche said. “English majors are staying in Marion because that’s an option, but most people can’t do that because they can’t complete their major (here).” There are seven majors that can be completed for a bachelor’s degree at OSU-Marion, including business, education and social work. Brian Skoglund, a third-year in hospitality management, came to the Columbus campus from Newark this year. “The majors are pretty limited overall (at branch campuses). (Newark

is) a great place to go for your general education credit classes or other classes for the beginning of some majors, like engineering,” Skoglund said. Unlike the other regional campuses, the ATI is the only campus of the university that offers an associate degree in applied science, said Frances Whited, OSU ATI spokeswoman. Other majors Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark offer that can be completed in four years include history, psychology and social work.
Business administration is offered at those campuses as well, while the general business major is offered at Lima, Marion, Newark and Mansfield. Mansfield offers sociology, too, while Lima offers majors in biology, health sciences and theater. Mansfield and Marion also have criminology majors, and nursing is offered at the Newark, Marion, Lima, Mansfield and Columbus campuses. Students can also start coursework for any of OSU’s more than 175 majors but would have to change to the Columbus campus to finish the requirements for many of them. However, some of the majors offered at the regional branches have high unemployment rates, according to a 2013 study from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Recent graduates in English, history, psychology and sociology have unemployment rates above 9 percent. Majors in biology, education and general business have unemployment rates just above 7.5 percent. Theater had the lowest unemployment rate of the majors offered at branches at 6.4 percent. Paul Sanders, an associate dean at the Newark campus, said English, history and psychology have been offered at the regional campuses for a couple of decades. These programs were offered at a time that “predates

A pediatric director at the James Cancer Hospital is pleading guilty to downloading child pornography onto an Ohio State computer. Dr. Christopher Pelloski, the former director of OSU’s pediatric cancer radiation program at the Wexner Medical Center James Comprehensive Cancer Center, has agreed to plead guilty to one count of accessing digital files intending to view child pornography, according to documents filed in federal court Oct. 8. According to a U.S. District Court Affidavit, the Franklin County Special Investigations Unit was conducting child enticement and child pornography investigations as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The investigation led detectives to a computer’s IP address that traced back to Pelloski’s residence in Upper Arlington. Pelloski’s residence was served with a search warrant on July 16, resulting in numerous computers and digital media being taken from the residence. Pelloski admitted to detectives he was

responsible for downloading child pornography onto a computer seized at his residence as well as a laptop owned by Ohio State. During a forensic examination, 25 images of child pornography and more than 100 link files to child pornography were discovered. Pelloski turned himself in to law enforcement authorities July 24 after the federal complaint was filed. Pelloski’s license to practice medicine in Ohio was suspended indefinitely as of Aug. 14, according to a release from the State Medical Board of Ohio.
The Wexner Medical Center issued a statement after the allegations surfaced in July. “These types of actions are wholly inconsistent with our institutional values, and we are deeply disturbed to learn of the allegations against Christopher Pelloski. Upon learning of the investigation, we immediately severed Dr. Pelloski’s access to all medical center facilities, patient records, email and hospital computer networks. He has resigned from his position at the medical center, effective July 24,” the statement read. Pelloski also had consulting privileges at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Both the Medical Center and Nationwide Children’s Hospital assigned Pelloski’s patients to other oncologists, according to the Medical Center statement. A spokeswoman for The James said the center cannot comment because the case is an ongoing judicial matter. Pelloski was ordered to house arrest as he awaits sentencing. If convicted, Pelloski could face five to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Pelloski’s attorney, Steven Palmer, was not available for comment Friday.
