Ohio State football beat Michigan State on the field, but the battle off the field is ongoing. First-year OSU coach Urban Meyer said he thinks the team sent footage of MSU offensive lineman Jack Allen gouging OSU junior defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins in the eye. Prior to the gouging incident, the two universities’ athletic directors settled a dispute regarding altered game footage the Spartans football team received in preparation for Saturday’s game at Spartan Stadium, where the Buckeyes won, 17-16. “I really don’t know. Every conference is different. I don’t know,� Meyer said of the Big Ten’s protocol for addressing the matter. “I think it gets turned in, and then I believe it’s in the conference offices or the team’s way of handling it. I believe we did turn (the video) in.� The Big Ten did not respond to The Lantern’s request for comment Monday. OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel said Hankins received the cheap shot between plays.

“You know, somebody trying to take a cheap shot at you, whether that be a chop block or poking you in the eye or doing something, I don’t think has any place in the game, especially at the college level or any level,â€? Vrabel said. “Whether (MSU is) telling their guys or coaching it or allowing it to happen, I don’t know. “I tell (redshirt senior defensive end Nathan Williams) nobody is worth ‌ a 15-yard penalty.â€? MSU athletics spokesman John Lewandowski declined The Lantern’s Monday request for comment regarding whether the Spartans addressed the issue. “(MSU coach) Mark Dantonio conducts his weekly press conference (Tuesday). We won’t be issuing any statement today,â€? Lewandowski told The Lantern in an email. Hankins had three tackles in the Buckeyes’ win against the Spartans, helping the team stay undefeated at 5-0. OSU is scheduled to continue Big Ten play with a home game against No. 21-ranked Nebraska (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten). MSU (3-2, 0-1 Big Ten) is set to travel to Bloomington, Ind., to face the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten).

Ohio is considered one of the most important states in the 2012 presidential election, and a non-partisan group at Ohio State is working to educate students before they vote. President Barack Obama has paid four visits to Ohio State in the past two years and is expected to return to Columbus Oct. 9, which coincides for the Ohio deadline for voter registration. OSU Votes is the university’s non-partisan voter registration and education program that has been pushing students to register. Students can register at any residence hall front desk, in the Ohio Union, or online at the group’s website. OSU Votes looks to educate voters with opportunities to get non-partisan information from organization members or at the group’s many events. “We are all about OSU’s motto: education for citizenship,� said co-chair of OSU Votes Alfred Yates, a fourth-year in mathematics and communication. This organization started during the 2004 election and has been a part

At 1 p.m., one hour after the Rock the Vote voter registration event started, about 50 people were in front of St. John Arena on OSU’s campus Monday. Deadline for voter registration in Ohio is Oct. 9. of Undergraduate Student Government and the John Glenn Civic Leadership Council. In May, the Office of Student Life approached Yates and asked him to help run the organization and promote non-partisan student involvement.

“I am looking to create a culture of civic engagement here at Ohio State,� Yates said. On a day-to-day basis the organization gives presentations to different student groups, educates people on voting and registers students to vote.

Late-night cram sessions, floor meetings, quiet alone time — you name it, the common study rooms in dorms have been used for almost everything. But this year, as construction runs rampant on campus, some on-campus residents are being forced to live in the study rooms. “The study rooms, we used them for almost everything,â€? said Anna Killion, a third-year in sculpture and Baker Hall West resident. “I know I used them a lot as a gathering place for people on the floor ‌ the study room would be sort of a hub.â€? Dorms such as Steeb Hall, Smith Hall and Seibert Hall are shut down, and students like Killion are feeling the effects. In dorms such as Baker Hall West, areas typically designated for students to study with their peers separate from their dorm rooms are being used for extra living space. Phillip Dindal, a first-year in mathematics, is one of the students living in a study room in Baker Hall West this year, with three roommates. So far his impression of the new living arrangement is positive. “We do like having the extra space, but if you think about it, we have a similar amount of space,â€? he said.
