CAMPUS SHOOTING A week after his bosses told him he would lose his job, a 51-year-old custodial worker shot two supervisors, killing one, before killing himself. Documents show that he had clashed with his bosses for months.

Nathaniel Brown struggled to pay the bills. His relationship with his girlfriend had recently ended. And ÿve months after he was hired at Ohio State, the man whom supervisors described as “hostile” learned he was losing his job. “He’d been having a lot of ÿnancial troubles,” said Ray Conrad, who lived next to Brown’s home of 20 years on the near East Side. At 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, Brown, 51, walked into the maintenance building at 2000 Tuttle Park Place, where he checked in for work every morning. But Tuesday he came in halfway through his shift — armed with two handguns — and shot two of his bosses before killing himself, police say. Larry Wallington, 48, a building services manager, was pronounced dead at the scene. Henry Butler, 60, an operations shift leader, was shot in the shoulder and was in stable condition after he underwent surgery at the OSU Medical Center. Documents show that during Brown’s brief employment, he clashed with his supervisors. In handwritten notes describing Brown’s work, an unidentiÿed employee says it’s “like he has ADHD — totally lost if not carefully supervised.” When a supervisor gave Brown his 90-day review early this year, he became hostile and yelled “You might as well ÿre me now!” according to the notes. The employee had to call Butler into the room to calm Brown. On Tuesday morning, Brown’s supervisors had gathered in Room 107 of the building to conduct an interview early in the morning, police said. When Brown entered the room, he speciÿcally asked for

Victim described as gentle talked of problems at work DAN MCKEEVER mckeever.16@osu.edu Ollers Project Reporter Nearly every day for the last three years, a few Ohio State employees received an e-mail ÿlled with encouragement and religious writings from building services manager Larry Wallington, who had worked as a janitor in their ofÿce in the Fisher College of Business. Those stories, re° ections and Bible verses helped their recipients through the rough patches in their personal lives. “It seemed like they came at the right time,” said Jackie McClure, an administrative associate in the Fisher College of Business.

“They talked about daily living, doing for others, giving of yourself,” said Jackie Grueser, an ofÿce manager in the OSU Medical Center who previously worked in the Fisher College of Business. The last e-mail Grueser received from Wallington came on Friday. Sadly, there will be no more to follow. Wallington, 48, was shot and killed by custodial employee Nathaniel Brown, 51, at the OSU Maintenance Building at about 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Police said that the shooting was “work related.” Wallington, whom friends describe as a gentle, friendly man who did not like confrontation, had mentioned trouble at his job, said Laurie Spadaro, the assistant to the department chair in Management Sciences at the Fisher College of Business. “He just said some of his people didn’t do the job that he thought they should be doing, or as good as they should be doing. That’s about all he would say,” Spadaro said. “He took a lot of pride in his job and everything

After surgery, victim is recovering in stable condition EVERDEEN MASON Editor-in-chief mason.388@osu.edu Heather Butler found out her father was shot when he called her early this morning. “He called me after being admitted in the hospital,” the 29-year-old Columbus resident said. Henry Butler, 60, was shot in his left shoulder Tuesday around 3:30 a.m and taken to Ohio State University Medical Center. The OSU operations shift leader was shot by Nathaniel Brown, a 51-year-old custodian.

Brown also shot and killed building services manager Larry Wallington, 48, before killing himself. Brown was at the end of his probationary period as a custodian, and had received a negative work report. Butler himself reported Brown had been sleeping on the job, according to work records. Feb. 12, Henry Butler requested probationary work removal for Brown. Heather Butler said she had never heard her father complain about his work at OSU, or any of his employees. “He spent 11 years at OSU,” she said. “He liked working there.” Butler also said she had met some of her father’s OSU friends, but had never met Wallington. Butler remained in the hospital with her father all of Tuesday, with

her cousins as company, she said. Her brother was in and out of the hospital with her, while her mother was still on her way to the hospital from Florida after visiting family. “I’ve been talking to [mom] all morning,” Butler said. “She’s ÿne, she’s a little [upset], but she’s good.” Butler said she and her father are very close. “We try to do everything together,” she said. “There’s lots of family time together to go on trips and stuff.” While Butler underwent surgery on his shoulder, Butler said she remained optimistic. “It hasn’t been too scary,” she said. “It’s just a matter of distracting ourselves.”

campus Union to display OSU pride BEVan SCHnECK Lantern reporter schneck.9@osu.edu

When visitors walk into the new Ohio Union, they will certainly know what campus they are on. It has Ohio State written all over it — literally. “Students provided us feedback that they didn’t want a building that you could plop on any college campus,” said Tracy Stuck, vice president of Student Life and director of the Ohio Union. “They wanted a building that spoke to Ohio State — that you knew you were a Buckeye when you walked in.” Seeing “Ohio State” in script while in the restroom, sitting by Brutus Buckeye in the Great Hall, reading the lyrics to “Carmen Ohio” on the paneling and being surrounded with the school colors are just a part of what those in the union will experience. Giving the place a unique OSU feel took planning, though. Stuck asked Jim and Barbie Tootle, a retired alumni couple who both went to school and worked at OSU, to serve as consultants in the design of the union in Jan. 2006. “The Ohio Union had been such an important building in our student days and in our careers, we were eager to do what we could to help make a new union a reality,” Jim Tootle said. So they took part in the branding campaign. “Branding is much more than putting a logo here and there,” Barbie Tootle said. “It is making an emotional connection with people — bringing them back.” She said she would like to ensure the Union leaves an imprint on people, creating memories and reminding them of the people, events and places that were meaningful to them at the university.

DOWN

COUNT

The Tootles met with 12 focus groups of students, alumni, faculty and staff. The people in the groups were asked about the favorite places they had visited and what makes an impression on them. “Over the years, we have visited more than a hundred college campuses,” Jim said, “and we always try to stop by their student union to get a feel for the place.” That experience, along with visits to museums and other cultural institutions, prepared the Tootles for the focus sessions. Jim Tootle said making the Union “Ohio State” was the idea that was most consistently expressed. “You should look around and know you are on the Ohio State campus,” Tootle said. “You should learn something more about the university from your visit to the Ohio Union.” One of the ideas incorporated into the new union is the use of mosaic terrazzo flooring, with symbols such as the university seal and words that inspire written into the main staircase. These ideas originate from the flooring at the Schottenstein Center and Fisher College of Business.

“People were looking for a couple of iconic places in the building where you could say to someone, ‘I will meet you by the whatever,’” Barbie Tootle said. The seal in the atrium, along with ideas such as a bronze Brutus Buckeye statue, are examples of places students will be familiar with. “A great idea that got an enthusiastic response when it was presented was to tell more stories in the building,” Tootle said. “Don’t just put a person’s name on a room, but tell us who that is and their Ohio State story.” In the Center for Student Leadership and Service, students will be able to read success stories. And under the ID plates on rooms that have been named throughout the union, there will be plaques to tell about those particular people and their relationship with OSU. Many ideas also came from the former unions, the Tootles said. People suggested having the doors from old unions — including the ﬁrst union, Enarson Hall — into the building. Stone ﬁreplaces and the Hall of Presidents will also be carried over from the 1951 union building. “Each student will interact with the building in a different way — favorite spots, places to be with friends, places to read, places to bring family,” Barbie said. “Students will make it theirs and make memories for a lifetime.” She hopes the students feel connected with the university and its past, as well as a to one another through their affection for OSU. Jim has similar sentiments. “I hope graduates will enjoy seeing the elements of the old building in the new one and will feel an ongoing connection [with] the university and its traditions,” Jim said. When people see the various features of the Union, he wants them to have a reaction of “wow!”

The maintenance building at 2000 Tuttle Park Pl. remained closed Tuesday as police investigated the shooting.

Shooting from 1A

Neighbors surprised

by actions of man described as ‘quiet’ Wallington, according to a source who asked not to be identiÿed because OSU employees were told not to discuss the shooting. When Wallington tried to ° ee, Brown chased him around the room and continued to shoot at him, the source said. Wallington was responsible for conducting Brown’s performance reviews. The shooting took place one week after Brown learned from supervisors that he was losing his job. Brown didn’t do his job very well, according to documents ÿled by his supervisors. For example, on Feb. 1, Butler found Brown sleeping in a classroom while he was waiting for wax to dry on the ° oors. That was Brown’s ÿnal warning. A month later, Brown’s bosses decided he still hadn’t met their expectations and they decided to ÿre him. “He does not follow through on simple, routine tasks and has to be closely supervised as a result,” wrote Richelle Simonson, director of communication for Facilities Operations and Development, in a Feb. 15 report. “He has been tardy on a couple of occasions, but the primary reason for the [termination] request is based on lack of performance,” Butler wrote in his Feb. 17 request to dismiss Brown. Six OSU employees other than the shooter were reported to be in the building during the shooting, and some of them were in the room. The details of the shooting are hazy. An investigator conÿrmed that multiple shots were ÿred, but it was unclear how many, or if Brown used both guns he brought into the building. And although initial reports from police indicated that only one victim was killed, it now appears that both Wallington and Brown died on the scene. “We have people shot, please come,” a frantic 911 caller told dispatchers immediately after the shooting. “They said he shot himself, they said

he shot himself … is he dead?” the woman asked another witness about the shooter. Police said they responded to the maintenance building within two minutes and closed a southern portion of Tuttle Park Place for much of the day. University ofÿcials sent a campus-wide e-mail shortly after 7 a.m. saying that a shooting had occurred on campus, but that the campus had been secured and that OSU would continue normal operations. The maintenance building and surrounding areas remained closed throughout the day, causing confusion among maintenance workers who report to work in the building every morning. Workers on campus during the shooting were taken to Central Classrooms, while the following shift was told to report to the Knowlton School of Architecture. As of Tuesday evening the maintenance building was still closed for the investigation. The rage behind the shooting was unknown to Brown’s Grasmere Avenue neighbors, who say he generally kept to himself. Although he had ÿnancial troubles, he never caused trouble, they said, and he had been living alone for about a year since his relationship with his girlfriend ended. “He was always immaculate about his yard,” his neighbor Conrad said. When he wasn’t pulling weeds in his yard, he would ÿre up his grill — one of his favorite pastimes — and invite friends over to play a game of chess. Before coming to OSU, Brown had maintenance jobs at a Columbus McDonald’s restaurant and car dealership, and he graduated from high school, according to his university job application. None of his neighbors said they knew Brown had been ÿred, and none noticed anything unusual in the last week. Students organized a vigil at 10 p.m. Tuesday outside the maintenance building to pray for the victims of the shooting.

was done to the best of his ability, and he expected everybody else to be the same way, and apparently, an employee was not that way.” Brown had recently received a poor performance review, police said. Documents show that Brown was told March 2 that he would be ÿred. When he arrived at the Maintenance Building, Brown speciÿcally asked for Wallington, who was his supervisor, a source told The Lantern. Brown found Wallington, who tried to ° ee. Brown shot Wallington, and accidentally wounded another supervisor, Henry Butler, 60, who was in stable condition at the OSU Medical Center Tuesday. Brown then shot himself and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Wallington’s death stunned his friends at OSU. “I was really shocked about what happened to him given his disposition and the way he is with people. He wouldn’t harm anyone,” said W.C. Benton, a professor in the Fisher College of Business. “I’m just totally paralyzed today after getting up and hearing about this.” Friends describe Wallington as a man who was devoted to his family. “He was very serious about his family and did everything he could do to support them,” Benton said. Wallington, who worked for OSU for about 10 years, left the Fisher College of Business to work as a building services manager in order to make more money, said Benton, who wrote one of Wallington’s letters of recommendation for the job. Wallington and his wife have three grown children — two sons and a daughter — and one grandson, Spadaro said. “When his daughter gave birth to a grandson, he came to my ofÿce and was just beaming, so proud,” Grueser said. Friends say that Wallington’s wife and sister-in-law are ministers in Columbus. “He was a big church guy, and I think that was the reason his behavior was so gentle, because of the spirituality that he had,” Benton said. Wallington displayed his enthusiasm for his family and his faith in a number of ways, one of which was cooking. A tall, slender man — Benton places his height at about 6-feet5-inches — Wallington was a gentle giant whose passions included barbecue. “He was a thin, tall man and would eat a ton of food,” Spadaro said. “Every weekend he’d make huge barbecues for his whole family, people at his church.” Wallington was a good cook, and would bring barbecue into the ofÿce for his friends to try, she said. “[Wallington was] the nicest person ever. He was one of those people that just asked about your family, and then he would remember,” Spadaro said. It’s evident that Wallington cared about his friends. Grueser remembers him coming in to the Fisher College of Business ofÿce at 6 a.m. to turn the heaters on before the work day started if the ofÿce was too cold in the winter. Wallington also helped his friends through his constant smile and positive disposition. “I never saw him down on anything,” Benton said. “If I was stressed out or having a tough day, it was nothing compared to how he was always positive.” Along with his cooking, his work and his attitude, Wallington was known for his e-mails, which he called “Encouragement for Today.”

Larry Wallington’s Encouragement for Today Friends remember Larry Wallington for his daily e-mails, in which he collected inspirational religious stories, reﬂections and Bible verses from various written works. Here are some of the stories he included.

‘Real Housewives’ addict confesses MANA GING Design

lind sey swan son swanson.164@osu.edu

Hello. My name is Lindsey Swanson, and I am a housewives addict. No, I don’t watch “Jersey Shore,” and I’ve never seen an episode of “Lost.” But somehow, while acknowledging that it is complete dribble, I still find Bravo’s “Real Housewives” oddly fascinating. From Orange County, Calif., to Atlanta, Ga., New Jersey and New York City, every one of Bravo’s housewives shows present viewers with a compelling combination of grandiose domestication and socialite cattiness, and enough schadenfreude to last all week long. Notwithstanding, each “Real Housewives” series has its own vernacular flavor and varied palette of personalities. The original housewives from Orange County define SoCal with their spray tans and implants; the ladies of “Hotlanta” present a uniquely southern class of drama with their feral cattiness and wig pulling; the housewives from the Shore can be characterized as nothing less than crazy; and the real housewives of New York City epitomize a truly American archetype — bitches.

Last Thursday, the third season of “The Real Housewives of New York City” premiered. With apples in hand, the “refreshed” faces of Bethenny, Jill, LuAnn, Alex, Ramona and Kelly made their anticipated return to the boob tube. But among the usual dramatic plots of their reality, episode one, “New Alliances,” focused on issues of etiquette and class for these Home Shopping Network heroines. Oh, holy cat fight. LuAnn and Jill bombarded Ramona with Mario’s “Count-less” comment; LuAnn challenged Bethenny about making comments behind her back; and of course, the newest feud between Bethenny and Jill was introduced and discussed incessantly. Pathetically, this drama is why I love the housewives. For me, being able to see how the other half lives isn’t nearly as great as being able to see how the other half fights. Albeit, in “real” life, cattiness is an unfortunate quality, it remains entertaining from a distance. Like the housewives and most females, I have experienced my share of girl fights. Regrets aside, they have more importantly taught me how unflattering cattiness, and especially pettiness, can make someone. Unlike the housewives I worship, who duke it out over any and everything, I carefully choose my battles, and in most cases, keep my claws to myself. As we say in the newsroom, “you can’t win ‘em all,” but just as important, when it comes to friends, don’t be a housewife; you can’t fight ‘em all. Photo courtesy of MCT

Despite initially optimistic outlook, February unemployment rate poor LANTE RN Columnist

brad m iller miller.4410@osu.edu

Someone who points out the flip side of any positive statement could be called a pessimist, a downer or just an all-around negative thinker. Often, however, regulated skepticism is much closer to reality than naïve optimism. February’s U.S. jobless rate was released last week. Unemployment remained at 9.7 percent, despite employers cutting 36,000 jobs. The media incessantly reported that this number was “fewer than predicted.” I suppose that is

good news then, right? Well, that is how the media is portraying it — as a major success. Anyone who points out the negative side of this would just be putting a damper on everybody’s fun. The real downers associated with this news, however, are the people who made the predictions. They must have envisioned a situation worse than 36,000 people losing their jobs. I bet they are a real delight at family get-togethers. This miscalculation is not uncommon. It seems that every month the number of jobs cut were fewer than predicted. Who are the people making these predictions? Just once I wish they would disclose the number of jobs they expected would be cut. They must have some number in mind or else nothing could be “fewer than predicted.” I’m assuming they are smart people. Otherwise, they would not be given the responsibility of making predictions in the first place. They don’t have to be exactly right, but knowing some estimate would be nice. Because

they overestimate the number every month, perhaps they should be replaced by people who cannot count as high. Maybe their predictions for job cuts are purposely so high that the real number cannot help but be lower. That way, the media can put a positive spin on bad news. But what if they predicted 36,001 job cuts? These cuts technically would still be fewer than predicted, but they would not really represent any good news. When a person hears that losses were “fewer than predicted,” it is natural to ask, “How many were predicted?” That would place a true measurement on just how good the news is. There are people in this world who think they can predict the climate three centuries from now. So I do not find it too unreasonable to demand actual numbers, instead of just “fewer than predicted.” No matter how uplifting February’s jobless report is, it cannot be as good as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid makes it sound.

“Today is a big day in America,” he said. “Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” I would like him to say that to the faces of the people who just recently became unemployed. Because, while the number of jobs cut may have been fewer than predicted, it was still greater than the number these families hoped for.

Just 40 years ago, we were puffing cigarettes like it was nobody’s business. While it was a widespread habit, we did not yet know the effects it had on lung cancer. We also didn’t see then the scientists behind the scenes who were fighting to let us know how dangerous cigarettes were for our health. But those capable of creating awareness of the Cassand ra gambo a dangers didn’t listen until gamboa.6@osu.edu the death toll became loud enough. Incidentally, now we have the surgeon general’s warning shouting, “I told you so!” Now, with the threat of global warming, scientists are once again fighting for a voice but are being criticized by wealthy crusaders who make all our decisions. The consequences of global warming will not just affect certain individuals but all nations and all people: our world. This green movement that sprung from the threat to our planet is no longer just for forest-dwelling earth lovers anymore. We’re starting to see the effects of our misdeeds. It is real, unrelenting and it seems our country’s policy makers won’t listen to its consequences. When most other industrialized countries signed the Kyoto Protocol agreement promising to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, the United States did not. Going green is becoming a popular trend, making it easier for skeptics to negate its legitimacy. According to The Daily Star in Lebanon, this scientific movement has some familiar critics: “Today’s campaigners against action on climate change are in many cases backed by the same individuals and organizations that sided with the tobacco industry to discredit the science linking smoking and lung cancer.” It’s not hard to see why the skeptics of global warming can be favored, as they won’t replace our cars with hybrids or enforce mandatory household recycling. Just like those skeptics of the tobacco dispute wouldn’t make us put out our much-needed cigarette on our smoke breaks. But this leaves the question of “Why?” When we look at the conflict surrounding global warming, we need to recognize the critics’ possible reasons for influence. Could it be that their alternative solutions are backed by financial gain? Power? Take a look at one of the sponsors of these critics, Exxon Mobil Corp. Can you think of any reason why an oil company would want the global warming agitators to be quieted? The plan of Exxon Mobile and other contenders instead of responding to the Kyoto Protocol is “adaptation.” They state it is simply an issue of adapting to the environmental changes caused by the effects of global warming. They’re confidently saying we will be able to adapt to higher doses of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere just like our lungs have been able to adapt to the benzene and formaldehyde in cigarettes, eliminating our risk of lung cancer. The truth is, we are a successful developed nation. Maybe the fear is that by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, we could threaten our position of power. We need to stop thinking so much as a nation and start thinking as a planet. According to The New York Times, our national effort could induce a global change. “The underlying thought is that the ultimate goal is a safe planet … The United States, embarrassingly, has no national strategy.” We could use our power and success to create a more stable future for our planet, but instead we’re blinded by the notion that we can somehow adapt to the consequences of our actions. Maybe we should learn from previous trial and errors and stop putting ourselves at the brunt of consequences.

Accountability — it is a word we hear frequently but at the end of the day, it is also a word that many have forgotten the meaning of. The events that have transpired over the course of the past few days show a serious lack of accountability in regards to the Ohio State University’s commitment to its student body. It is a crying shame that this institution can invest $118 million dollars into construction of the new Ohio Union but apparently cannot allocate sufficient funding to the budget for protecting its students and faculty members. At some point, the administration must come forward and admit that they dropped the ball. We can talk all we want about the efforts being taken to get more students signed up for crime alerts, but what does it profit us if they are not receiving them? I for one am signed up for e-mail and text notifications but heard nothing about the reported rape that took place early last week until my roommate mentioned her own fears of falling victim to assault two days later. Furthermore, I have heard of several instances in which individuals said they did not receive any notification of today’s shooting at all, or until an hour later, although they too had signed up for these alerts. In such matters, time is not on our side and every second makes a

difference. A delay in response seriously jeopardizes our campus community. This represents a serious shortcoming on the part of the university, yet it went unreported to The Columbus Dispatch and CNN as officials claimed that, in both cases, crime alerts did in fact reach members of the OSU community in a timely, efficient manner. They can lie to the media all they want but we as students know the truth. Beyond this, it took the university four days to acknowledge in an e-mail the possibility of the first sexual assault. At the end of the day, victims of sexual assault should be taken seriously. It is this stigma and fear that they will not be fairly represented or stood up for that has left so many victims of such heinous acts in the dark for decades. We as a community must see it as our duty to let them know that their voices will not go unheard and that we will do everything in our power to advocate for them when they need us the most.

campus There will be a study room built in the shape of a lantern in the new Union at Ohio State. The Stanley D. Gottsegen Study Lounge will open March 29 for students who need a peaceful place to do homework. The room was built after several students expressed the need for somewhere quiet to study on campus, said Tracy Stuck, assistant vice president for Student Life and director of the Ohio Union.

“Throughout the Union there are many gathering spaces where students can congregate, meet, relax and have fun,” Stuck said. “This area, though, is designated for those who need an environment that is well-suited for concentration.” The area the room is in was built like a lantern to commemorate Ohio State’s history, Stuck said. It was made to honor the Underground Railroad path that actually crossed through the part of campus where the Union is located. “During the design phase for the building, we spent a lot of time in the university archives,

and we found out that the Ohio Union sits on one of the paths of the Underground Railroad,” Stuck said. The path began at the Olentangy River and ended at the Kappa Sigma house, she said. The study room is on the third floor of the southeast side of the building. The symbolic architecture of the study room will illustrate OSU’s commitment to diversity, Stuck said. “Given this legacy and how important diversity is to Ohio State, we felt strongly that we should make a statement through our building that all are

welcome at Ohio State and the Ohio Union,” Stuck said. “We thought that fashioning a portion of our building in the shape of a lantern would be reminiscent of the Underground Railroad and also be a symbol of our culture of inclusiveness.” The study room will open the same day as the new Union at 12 p.m. The room will feature furniture, natural lighting and study and computer areas. “The lounge will be a dedicated quiet study space where students can focus on their homework, prepare for tests or simply enjoy the calming environment,” Stuck said.

campus ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ release draws crowd KEVin SanCHEZ Lantern reporter sanchez.825@osu.edu More than 80 people, including many Ohio State University students, lined up outside the North High Street Gamestop Monday to pick up their copy of the newest video game in the “Final Fantasy” saga. This was a paltry number compared to the 235 who pre-ordered the game at that location alone. “Final Fantasy XIII” is the brainchild of the Japanese video game company Square Enix, and it is merely the latest installment of a franchise that began as a last gasp in 1987. The original “Final Fantasy” was supposed to be the last game made by Square Enix, then Squaresoft, said Bowen Patterson, a ﬁfth-year in history who was present at the midnight release of the game. “Squaresoft was going broke, so they gave [game designer Hironobu Sakaguchi] a shot at their last game. He made ‘Final Fantasy,’ and it was a huge hit,” Patterson said. Sakaguchi left Square Enix after making “Final Fantasy X,” but the franchise has lived on. Patterson was one of many OSU students waiting until midnight to walk home with either a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 version of the game. Second-year student Rolando Contreras was the ﬁrst to receive his copy when the clock struck 12.

Contreras pre-ordered the game, then went to the store at 9:50 to get his final receipt, and was the first person to do so. He then stayed at Gamestop until the midnight launch. Third-year in architecture Dustin Janezic was number 26 in line to get the game. “I’ve played pretty much all the ‘Final Fantasy’ games before this,” Janezic said. “If it says ‘Final Fantasy’ on it, I have it. I spend almost all my money on Square Enix.” Janezic said he had to do a little extra saving over the previous month in order to comfortably afford his new video game purchase. “I just had to make sure I had money to eat on,” Janezic said. Once procuring his copy of the game, he planned to play it all through the night, right up until his first class at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. Patterson, on the other hand, only planned to play a short amount of time immediately after he picked up his game. For a portion of the night he sat on the floor of Gamestop working on a paper he had to turn in for class the next day. “I consider it a sin to skip class the week before finals,” Patterson said. “That being said, if this had [been] released in the middle of the quarter, I might have missed some.” “Final Fantasy XIV,” the next installment of the series, is set to release later in 2010, according to the Square Enix Web site.

After the tremendous season Kentucky basketball has had, many people forget how its season almost began with a bitter loss. The Wildcats were battling lowly Miami (OH) in their second game of the season at Rupp Arena. The game was predicted to be a one-sided affair with Kentucky cruising to an easy win. However, the Wildcats found themselves locked in a battle with the RedHawks as the game wore on. Kentucky trailed in the first half by as many as 18 points.

When the Final Four rolls around in early April, Evan Turner should be collecting some welldeserved hardware, even if the Buckeyes aren’t still playing. The Naismith Player of the Year award will be handed out during college basketball’s final weekend, but the debate has been raging for months.

The junior leads the Big Ten with averages of 19.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game and is second with 5.8 assists per contest. The First Team consisted of five guards: Oklahoma State’s James Anderson, Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds, Kentucky’s John Wall, Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez and Turner. Sophomore Chase Buchanan of the OSU men’s tennis team was named Big Ten Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. Buchanan, who shared the honor with Illinois’ Dennis Nevolo, defeated a pair of Top 35 performers last weekend. He beat Austen Childs of Louisville and Austin Krajicek of Texas A&M. The award was the third Big Ten Athlete of the Week honor for Buchanan in the past five weeks.

Another two-time Heisman winner? The Lantern continues to examine the 2010 OSU recruiting class. Today, we look at Adam Griffin, the son of legendary Buckeye running back Archie Griffin

ch ris g rabe r Lantern reporter graber.54@osu.edu Adam Griffin is not the biggest, strongest or most highly rated. Neither was his father, Archie Griffin — college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy Award winner and most decorated Ohio State football player in history. The Buckeyes gave the younger Griffin a scholarship in February, and he became the 19th player of the 2010 recruiting class. He is the first player, with the exception of kicker Drew Basil, rated fewer than three stars by Rivals.com to sign with the Buckeyes since 2006. Griffin is listed at 5-feet-9-inches, 185 pounds, which is significantly smaller than the two 4-star running backs in the 2010 recruiting class. Archie Griffin said he also was labeled undersized in his playing days at 5-feet-9-inches, 188 pounds. “A lot of people are saying the things about [Adam] that they said about me coming out of high school,” said the elder Griffin. “We will see if size is a real factor, but I don’t think it is. “He is a competitor. He’s going to compete, compete hard and he will do what he needs to in order to contribute to Ohio State’s football program.” The younger Griffin is far from winning the most prestigious award in college football twice, but OSU coach Jim Tressel said Adam adds to the Buckeyes both on and off the field. “Adam Griffin has a passion to be an Ohio State

roster on March 19. He was also scheduled to earn a $7.45 million salary in 2010. Anderson bounced in and out of the starting job for the Browns during his four seasons in Cleveland. He led the team to 10 wins in 2007, when he earned a spot on the AFC Pro Bowl roster after throwing for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns. Anderson’s release comes on the heels of the team trading for former Seattle quarterback Seneca Wallace, who will be reunited with Browns executive Mike Holmgren, who coached the Seahawks. Michigan State suspended guard Chris Allen indefinitely for not meeting responsibilities to his teammates, coach Tom Izzo told reporters

Tuesday. The junior averages 9.1 points per game for the No. 11 Spartans. He will miss at least the first game of Michigan State’s in the Big Ten Tournament. The Minnesota Twins may have lost their closer for the season. Joe Nathan was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on Tuesday. The right-hander will decide within the next two weeks whether to have surgery, the team said. If he elects to have surgery, his 2010 season would likely be over. His other option is to rest and rehab the elbow before determining if he can pitch through the injury. Nathan recorded 47 saves last season while posting a 2.10 ERA.

Kentucky guard projected to be top pick in NBA Draft The Wildcats, led by freshman phenom John Wall, battled back and tied the game with just six seconds remaining. It was then when Wall, playing in his first collegiate game after sitting out Kentucky’s opener, raced down the court, put a move on his defender and took a step-back jumper. As 23,000 fans at Rupp Arena held their breath, Wall’s shot ripped through the net with less than one second remaining, giving the Wildcats the 72-70 victory. Wall finished the game with 19 points, but it was the last two that instantly immortalized him and began his pursuit of National Player of the Year. This season, Wall has led the No. 2 Wildcats to a 29-2 record and an SEC regular season championship. The 19-year-old leads his team in points with 16.8 and assists with 6.2. Wall plays like a seasoned

a boiling point, but to be honest, it isn’t even close. Evan Turner should be, will be and is the best player in the country. On the surface of the debate is the most honest comparison: the stats. Turner has Wall in several statistical categories, including points (19.5 to 17.0), rebounds (9.4 to 4.1) and field goal percentage (.538 to .460). Wall does have Turner slightly in the assist category and 3-point percentage, but in the most important stats, Turner is the man. Let’s not forget Turner missed six games with a back injury, several games in which he could have padded his numbers. When it comes to big games, Turner also has a decisive edge. He has 14 double-doubles on the season including two illustrious triple-doubles, a rare feat in college. Wall, on the other hand,

veteran and has drawn comparisons to Derrick Rose, the former Memphis Tiger and No. 1 pick of the Chicago Bulls. Wall is predicted to also go No. 1 overall in this year’s NBA draft. The charismatic point guard routinely blows by defenders, knocks down incredible jump shots and throws down thunderous dunks. Wall is truly a human highlight reel and has taken college basketball by storm. On the court, he is the most physically gifted player in the nation and is in line to win this year’s Naismith College Player of the Year award. Some believe Ohio State’s Evan Turner is the favorite for the award, but Turner will finish second to Wall, much like he finished second to Kalin Lucas for Big Ten Player of the Year last season. While Turner’s numbers are staggering, he doesn’t play for one of the nation’s elite teams, like Wall does. Three of the past four years the National Player of the Year has come from one of the top teams. Last year was Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin, the year before was Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina and in 2006 it was Duke’s J.J. Redick. Turner and the Buckeyes have just recently

has four double-doubles and zero triple-doubles. While Turner wins the battle of stats, the reason why he should win the Naismith goes much deeper than how many points he scores or rebounds he pulls down. He has the unique gift of making everyone around him better. It is a quality in basketball that very few possess, yet Turner clearly makes it evident. We will never know how good the Buckeyes would be without Turner but we had a glimpse when he went down with his injury. OSU struggled, to say the least, going 3-3. The wins came against significantly inferior opponents: Presbyterian, Delaware State and Cleveland State. They did lose to three quality opponents in Butler, Michigan and Wisconsin in games they trailed in by doubledigits. Turner clearly has less to work with then Wall. In fact, some believe Wall isn’t even the best player on his own team. DeMarcus Cousins, a doubledouble machine at center, might be the better player. Regardless,

Turner’s squad is a .500 team without him but with him they are one of the most dangerous teams in the country, a possible No. 1 seed and the Big Ten champions. While the title is shared with Michigan State and Purdue, it should also be mentioned that OSU and Turner play in a conference that is far superior then the SEC. SEC’s speed isn’t a factor on the hardwood and the Big Ten has several teams that should make nice tournament runs. Finally, there are the sentimental reasons why Turner deserves this award. He worked his way from being a modest recruit into being arguably one of the best players in OSU history. He, unlike Wall, would actually still play college basketball if it wasn’t for the outlandish rule that keeps players in college for one year. He is one of the best stories in college basketball recently because he is the best example of the promise that college basketball has in players who don’t look at this level as a stepping stone, but rather a time to mature, develop and become

a better person on and off the court. He is also the kind of player every coach loves. Coach Thad Matta can rave about him for hours if need be. Wall on the other hand? He and his coach have a unique relationship. “I just try not to listen to him and go out and play basketball and try and help my team win,” Wall said of John Calipari. Would Turner ever say something like that? I don’t think so. He plays with both feet on the court, not one foot out the door. Turner deserves the Naismith just like college basketball deserves him. He is good for the game. He is dedicated and his heart is all in for college hoops. Don’t believe me? Ask him yourself. Its clear, Evan Turner is the best player in the country and in every aspect. He might not dance as well as John Wall, but unless this is “Dancing with the Stars,” the trophy still goes to Turner.

climbed into the top 10, whereas Kentucky has been in the top five consistently all season. That alone gives Wall the edge over Turner. But Wall has done much more to make his case. This season, Wall broke Kentucky’s freshman scoring record in leading the Wildcats to their 44th SEC championship. Wall’s leadership at point guard also led Kentucky to a perfect 18-0 record at home this season, which tied for the best in program history. It’s simple: When you have a freshman point guard that’s able to lead a storied program like Kentucky to new heights, then he obviously is deserving of college basketball’s most prestigious award. Before Wall leaves Kentucky for good, he will accomplish two more firsts for the Wildcats. He will be the first Kentucky player ever to win the Naismith College Player of the Year Award and he will be the first Wildcat ever to go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft.

Griffin from 1B

Versatile recruit

thrilled for the opportunity to suit up in scarlet and gray Buckeye,” Tressel said. “He will add a great deal to our football family on the field, in the locker room and on our campus. Adam clearly understands the privilege of being an Ohio State Buckeye.” Adam Griffin also understands the abundance of talent that OSU has in a backfield that added 4-star recruits Carlos Hyde and Roderick Smith. Daniel “Boom” Herron and Brandon Saine also return after both seeing the field in 2009 as starters. “I am going to go to [OSU] with a chip on my shoulder because I know in my heart I can play football at the next level,” Griffin said. “People may think I got a pity scholarship because of who my dad is, but I am going to show that I belong.” At Columbus St. Francis DeSales High School, Griffin earned second-team All-Ohio in Division III at running back in 2009 after leading his school to an OHSAA State runner-up finish. He also excelled at kick returner and defensive back. “He never left the field,” said Ryan Wiggins, his high school coach. “Ohio State knows what they are getting in Adam Griffin. They know he is a good player, student athlete, and as coach Tressel said, he has good character.” Griffin said that earning the scholarship is about what he can do as a player, not ratings or statistics. “I played in a system that spread the ball around a lot and we were successful because of that. I did not get 250 carries but I know I can compete with anyone,” Griffin said. “People said that I was very small and not tall enough. How does being tall define how well you run the football?” OSU has proven in recent years that the lowest-rated recruits can perform at the highest level. Malcolm Jenkins, AJ Hawk, Santonio Holmes and James Laurinaitis were all 3-star prospects. Jenkins and Holmes were both selected in the first round of the NFL Draft and have been members of Super Bowl-winning teams (Holmes, 2009, Steelers; Jenkins, 2010, Saints). Hawk and Laurinaitis each won the Lombardi Award, given to college football’s top linebacker. Hawk was a first-round pick and a two-time All-American, while Laurinaitis was a second-rounder and three-time All-American. Adam “always wanted to be a Buckeye,” Archie Griffin said. “This is his dream and he is getting that opportunity.”
