In his junior season in 2012, the Naples, Fla., product was the Buckeyes’ starting tailback and ran for 970 yards and a team-leading 16 touchdowns on 185 carries. That said, OSU coach Urban Meyer said Hyde’s career has been disappointing thus far. “His whole career was just kind of a mush. He hasn’t done a whole lot for himself or the program,” Meyer said of Hyde. “We all make mistakes. I hope this is a game-changer for him.” The Buckeyes needed Hyde to take on a greater role Saturday. OSU’s leading rusher this season, redshirt-senior running back Jordan Hall, did not play in Saturday’s game because of an injury. “Jordan Hall’s got a little knee issue we’re dealing with right now,” Meyer said. “(Hyde)’s the horse right now. I think he’s a great player. That tells you how much I trust the kid to be able to do that.” Trailing 23-13 following a 32-yard field goal by

Advertising 28% of presidential search cost so far LiZ YoUnG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu Of the more than $337,000 that has been spent on the presidential search process so far, roughly 28 percent was used to advertise Ohio State’s Symposium on the University Presidency in August. About $95,630 was spent on advertisements in The New York Times, The Columbus Dispatch and The Chronicle of Higher Education, according to the symposium cost breakdown, emailed to The Lantern Wednesday by OSU spokesman Gary Lewis to fill a public records request filed Aug. 16. The symposium, a discussion about what qualities a president should have and what a president should expect in his or her term, was held Aug. 30 at Ohio Union. Lewis said the ads were necessary to spread the word about OSU’s search. “The symposium was one component of the university’s approach
to help frame its search for a new president of OSU. Advertising the symposium was a key strategy to support our ability to reach and inform potential candidates and leaders about Ohio State’s search for its next president,” Lewis said in a Friday email. He added the costs were “standard pricing for this type of marketing.” The symposium cost nearly $118,000 total, including travel,
hotel rooms, transportation, advertising, dinner and honoraria, which are payments given for professional services on which there is no set price, according to the cost breakdown. The symposium was hosted by Harvard Graduate School of Education professor emeritus Richard Chait. Tufts University President Emeritus Lawrence Bacow, Washington State University President Elson Floyd, University of North Carolina system
President Thomas Ross and University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan were the panelists, and Tulane University President Scott Cowen was scheduled as one of the guests, but was unable to make it because he was “stuck in the airport,” Chait said Aug. 30. The other portion of OSU’s searchrelated expenses came from its contract with a private search firm. OSU signed a contract worth more than $220,000 Sept. 17 with R. William Funk & Associates, a Dallasbased firm. The university is set to pay the firm a fixed fee of $200,000, as well as reimburse the firm for direct, out-of-pocket expenses and an additional cost of $20,000 to cover administrative and support expenses, according to the contract. Lewis said no student money is being used to fund the symposium or the search firm. “Unrestricted funds were used to cover all costs associated with the symposium. No tuition or tax dollars

For nearly 45 seconds, Ohio State senior running back Carlos Hyde couldn’t find the words to describe the suspension that cost him playing time in the first three games of the season. Addressing the media for the first time in 2013 following OSU’s 40-30 victory against Northwestern Saturday, tears welled up in Hyde’s eyes as he was asked to recall the punishment. “That suspension, it really hurt, not being out there with my brothers, because I made a mistake,” Hyde said with emotion. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through.” Hyde’s suspension was issued after he was involved in an altercation with a woman at a Columbus bar in July. The incident was reported as an assault, and Hyde was tagged as a “person of interest” in the case. Charges were not filed against him, however, at the alleged victim’s request, but he was still disciplined by OSU for his involvement. The suspension gave Hyde, who said his Christian faith helped keep him focused during the suspension, what he called a “different hunger for the game.” “I go out every game with a mindset that I have to make up for those three games,” Hyde said. “I’m running with a whole different demeanor than what I would have had in the beginning if I didn’t get suspended.” Hyde showed that hunger Saturday, his third game back from suspension, with the biggest performance of his career. He gashed the Wildcats for a career-high 168 yards on 26 carries and scored three rushing touchdowns and also had 38 receiving yards on four receptions. With 206 yards from scrimmage, he accounted for more than 45 percent of OSU’s 451 yards of total offense. “I wanted it bad,” Hyde said. “I caught a rhythm. My (offensive line) was doing a great job to convert on run blocking, and they made it easy for me.” With just 126 rushing yards on 22 carries and five yards on two receptions in his first two games
Reported aggravated assaults and drug law violations both went up on Ohio State’s campus last year, according to OSU’s 2013 annual campus security and fire safety report. Aggravated assault reports on campus rose to four in 2012, from zero in 2011 and five the year before. Two of the reports came from residence halls, and the other two were in other areas on campus. Arrests for drug law violations in 2012 on campus were slightly up, with 67 arrests compared to 2011’s 63 arrests. Both numbers were up from 2010’s 50 drug law-related arrests on campus. More than 20 drug-related arrests have been made on campus in 2013, according to the University Police daily log. The report includes statistics of reported crimes on campus from 2012 compared with the previous two years.
OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said the important thing for students to realize about the report is how it defines “campus.” Komlanc said though some might look at the report and be surprised by the numbers, because they might think some numbers are unusually low, it is because the report does not include the entirety of the university district surrounding campus. “While this report is an important education tool because it does go through all the types of crime that are on campus, the most important thing to remember is that because it fulfills our requirement for the Clery Act, it covers very specifically defined places,” Komlanc said. The report defines campus as buildings owned by OSU, including residence halls and classroom buildings, as well as university-owned fraternity and sorority houses and other campus buildings or areas. The Clery Act, signed into law in 1990, was designed to make college campus crime information readily available. It was created in the name of Jeanne Clery, a student at Lehigh University who was raped and
