Jim Tressel’s ÿrst decade at Ohio State included a National Championship, seven Big Ten crowns and nine wins against Michigan. He won’t be on the sideline at the start of his second decade at OSU. OSU has suspended its football coach for the ÿrst two games of the 2011 season for violating provisions of an NCAA rule when he failed to report information involving two Buckeye football players.

As part of its self-report, submitted Tuesday to the NCAA, the university also imposed a $250,000 ÿne, a public reprimand and apology and attendance at a compliance seminar.

Tressel, OSU President E. Gordon Gee and athletic director Gene Smith addressed the media Tuesday evening at the Jack Nicklaus Museum.

Tressel said he never considered resigning.

“The most pathetic thing is a leader looking for self-pity,” Tressel said, quoting President George W. Bush. “So at no point in this time … am I looking for anything other than doing what needs to be done.”

Smith said the NCAA still has to provide feedback on the selfimposed sanctions, and additional penalties “could happen.”

“All the speculation about him being terminated is pure speculation,” Smith said. “This case, in my view, does not warrant it. When you think of the body of work that this gentleman has put into this program and into this profession, when you think about who he is, there’s no question in my mind that his decision was from the heart.”

An unnamed attorney e-mailed Tressel on April 2, 2010, “with information pertaining to football student-athletes’ alleged visits” to Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor, according to copies of an e-mail chain released by the university. The initial e-mail suggested that the parlor’s owner, Edward Rife, possessed OSU football memorabilia, that one studentathlete had received discounted tattoo services and that Rife was the subject of a criminal investigation.

Kasich vows to keep Ohio’s ‘brightest’ JUSTIN CONLEY Senior Lantern reporter conley.325@osu.edu Gov. John Kasich walked through a standing ovation in the Statehouse as he prepared to give his State of the State address. Just beyond a police-lined corridor, thousands of people protesting Senate Bill 5 booed.

SB 5 overhauls collective bargaining rights of Ohio public workers.

“This bill affects all working families in the state,” said Mike Carroll, a member of United Steel Workers and a Mansÿeld, Ohio, resident. “It drives down wages.”

Carroll said the jobs Kasich claims SB 5 will create will be minimum wage jobs.

“You can’t support a family on minimum wage,” Carroll said.

In a speech that lasted more than an hour, Kasich only brie° y addressed the protesters who sat less than 100 yards away in the State House chanting, “Kill the bill” as he spoke. Instead, Kasich focused on correcting joblessness, the budget and a “signiÿcant reform agenda” for education.

“One-third of Ohio college graduates are leaving this state within three years of graduating,” Kasich said. “Our best and our brightest … have decided that they need to go somewhere else to realize their hopes and dreams. That’s a terrible situation.”

Kasich said the state government would work to correct the drain of college students by connecting graduates with job opportunities.

Theresa Wallington says faith in God has helped her family endure the year since her husband Larry, an Ohio State maintenance supervisor, was shot and killed by co-worker Nathaniel Brown.

But anger remains toward the university that the Wallington family says could have done more to prevent Larry’s death.

“Just having God to lead and guide us and to make sense of the tragedy of Larry’s death, and to keep my children encouraged and strength,” Theresa told The Lantern on Tuesday. “We just couldn’t have done it without Him.” The Lantern reported on Sept. 22 that Tasha Bozeman, who worked near Larry, 48, a Facilities Operations

and Development supervisor, heard the ÿrst shot at 3:30 a.m. on March 9, 2010.

Bozeman saw Nathaniel Brown, 51, standing in a trench coat behind Larry repeatedly ÿring shots from two handguns, a Glock .45-caliber and a Ruger 9mm. The shots missed Larry, but injured another boss, Henry Butler, who was then 60 years old.

Brown, in pursuit of Larry as he ran out of the ofÿce, was able to shoot him three times, before shooting himself in the head, according to an OSU police report.

E-mails sent to and voicemails left with Butler were not returned. No one answered the door at Butler’s house on Tuesday night.

Sarah V. Bland, who graduated from OSU in 1949 and is Butler’s neighbor, said Henry is still undergoing physical therapy as a result of being shot near his shoulder.

Bland said Butler has been on a

leave of absence from FOD since the shootings.

A search of Brown’s house revealed handwritten notes suggesting he planned the killing when learning weeks before that he was going to be ÿred for poor job performance, the report said.

Since the tragedy happened, Theresa said she has spoken with Butler, “who said that Larry did voice his concern to OSU supervisors about being safe up there. But the bigger part was Nate was mentally unstable.”

Theresa and others said OSU didn’t need to look far for warnings of Brown’s troublesome behavior. “(Larry) over and over again expressed that (Brown) was dangerous,” Theresa said. “I think (OSU) could have listened to him. There were a couple times things really got out of hand and I know that there was a complaint one day … he kind of was really out of control then.

“I just think that had (OSU) listened

to the voice of reasoning in this situation, maybe my husband would still be here today.”

Larry’s daughter, Amanda Wallington, 21, agreed with her mother.

Amanda, a ÿrst-year in psychology at Columbus State, said OSU could have “deÿnitely” prevented the shootings, but “no one seemed to take (Larry) serious enough.”

OSU did not immediately comment.

Rene Austin, who worked with Brown, told police a week after the shootings that Brown and Wallington often butted heads at work. Austin said Wallington singled Brown out for work violations most workers committed.

Interviews with Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Donna Dunson, indicated he was an abusive boyfriend and quickly lost his temper. Days

campus Cracked glass panel under investigation TRENT BARTER Lantern reporter barter.1@osu.edu Walking in the east side of William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, students might notice something different once they reach the atrium. A wooden barrier now rests where a glass panel once was.

Library employees noticed the broken panel the night of Feb. 26, before closing, and notiÿed library security. It is unclear to employees and students when exactly the glass broke. Some ofÿcials said the window broke before the library closed Friday, Feb. 25.

The panel, located on ° oor 3M, has now been removed and replaced with plywood for precautionary reasons.

Library ofÿcials still don’t know what caused the glass to break.

Lucas Hatmaker, a ÿfth-year in criminology and sociology, said he heard the panel break Friday night.

“I was here when it happened,” Hatmaker said. “I heard this loud thud coming from the area. I just looked up quickly and didn’t notice anything or think anything of it, you hear noises in here all the time.”

David Lee, an architect from Acock Associates and project manager for the Thompson library renovation, said he expects a small percentage of the glass from Novum Structures to break due to internal stress or a defect in the glass.

“It’s a low percentage, less than 1 percent,” Lee said. “It’s a result of some unpredictability in internal stress as a part of the glass making.”

If there is deemed to be a ° aw in the glass, Ohio State is not liable for the replacement costs as it is factored into the warranty with Novum Structures, a contractor for high technology architectural structures with several worldwide locations and four U.S. headquarters. If it is found to be an external cause breaking the glass, however, OSU will be responsible for the costs involved in replacement.

An internal ° aw seems to be an unlikely cause, said Brad Anderson, project manager at Anderson Aluminum Corporation, the Columbus-based company in charge of replacing the glass.

“In my 28 years, I’ve seen it maybe twice,” Anderson said.

“It’s extremely rare that it happens on its own.”

His best estimation is that something being thrown at the glass from the atrium side caused the breakage. This is due to only the exterior side of the panel breaking and a clear impact point on the glass itself, Anderson said.

This particular panel contains two pieces of glass, one exterior and one interior, encased by plastic. Anderson said it is four times harder to break than normal glass.

OSU Police has not been notiÿed about the breakage, although it is under investigation, said Duke Morgan, head of security for OSU’s libraries.

Morgan also said if a culprit is found, there is sure to be legal action.

Weekend supervisor Amy Yuncker said the cause could be anything from vandalism to a bird possibly crashing into the window as wildlife sometimes ÿnds its way into the building.

“We were really just baf° ed by it but delighted that they ruled out the possibility of an architectural ° aw,” Yuncker said.

Students said they were not overly concerned about the issue.

“It really surprised me how little people questioned,” Yuncker said.

This is the ÿrst problem Thompson library has seen with the 192 atrium glass panels since its reopening in August 2009, Lee said.

OSU gave Anderson Aluminum a $1,000 purchase order to remove the glass and temporarily replace it while a new window is manufactured. The exact cost of the new window and installation is not yet known, but Lee estimates a total cost of about $2,000 to $3,000.

Anderson said the library will be without its window for a bit longer. He expects the new pane from Novum Structures to be manufactured in eight to 12 weeks.

Red Cross sets ’11 goal; Blood drives to pick up speed SARAH PFLEDDERER Lantern reporter pfledderer.2@osu.edu An American Red Cross van can often be seen on campus and a ° yer advertising drives can frequently be found in campus buildings.

Ohio State’s American Red Cross Club is responsible for organizing and advertising campus blood drives. The group is looking to collect a record number of blood units in 2011.

The ARCC sets a goal to donate more than 10,000 units per year. In 2009, it hit its mark with 10,500 units. In 2010, it raised 11,000 units, setting a new record for annual donations. This year, the ARCC, in conjunction with the Central Ohio Region Red Cross, hopes to raise 11,000 to 12,000 units, said Candice Hines, OSU donor recruitment representative of the Central Ohio Region Red Cross.

One unit of blood is equivalent to one pint and can be broken down into three blood products: plasma, platelets and red blood cells.

Nick Parker, a third-year in political science, is a six-time donor and said he thinks campus blood drives are frequent because “there are so many eligible students here and it’s not that time consuming to donate.”

Catherine English, a phlebotomist with the blood collection unit of the Central Ohio Red Cross, said she ÿnds most students between the ages of 18 and 26 are willing and loyal donors on campus. Many donate every 58 days, the amount of time donors must wait between blood donations, English said.

The ARCC holds about 300

campus blood drives per year, 70 of which are held in November during the OSU versus Michigan Blood Battle, Hines said.

“It is the largest blood competition in the country and Red Crosses all over the country pay attention to it,” said Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Central Ohio Red Cross.

Michigan has won the battle the past three years. In 2010, Michigan collected 2,513 units while OSU collected 2,405 units, according to the American Red Cross website.

Another donation challenge, “The Big Ten Challenge,” ÿnished at the end of February. Results are still being tallied, but OSU, Penn State and University of Michigan are known to be the top three ÿnishers, Hines said.

ARCC adviser Jennifer Pelletier said the challenge is scheduled in an important season because winter is the slowest time for blood donations and donations reach critical levels.

She said she thinks levels are low due to travel during winter holidays and sickness.

Despite the low levels of units in the winter, Hines said students are willing to donate because they “want to give back to their community and do something impactful.”

Pellatier said she thinks the large size of the OSU community and the fact that the medical center uses a lot of blood from the American Red Cross also plays a roll in students’ willingness to donate.

“OSU is unique in comparison to other schools in that you have a medical center on campus and patients there need blood,” Wilson said.

He said he thinks students realize blood comes back to

campus to beneÿt medical center patients.

Divya Verma, a third-year in microbiology, said she ÿrst donated blood her freshman year at OSU because she realized a lot of the donations go to local hospitals.

“If my loved one was in the hospital, I feel it’s an easy contribution for them,” Verma said.

But donated blood is sent where it is needed most, Wilson said. The Central Ohio Red Cross has a daily quota of collecting 650 units of donated blood to support its 41 hospitals.

Hines’ job is to schedule blood drives on campus 90 days in advance to ensure the 650 units are collected each day.

Drives are held monthly at the Ohio Union, RPAC and OSU Medical Center. They are also held six times per year at Thompson Library and once per quarter in dorms.

Pelletier said blood drives are held on campus almost every weekday.

Scheduled drives may be found at redcrossblood.org by typing in the sponsor code: buckeyes.

“We are literally all over all the time and try to get to all corners of campus so it’s super convenient for people to donate,” Pelletier said.

Hines said the ARCC partners with about 20 organizations every year to sponsor blood drives and hopes to see an increase in partnership.

Pelletier said there is no cost to sponsor a drive either.

“Drives are always more successful with the help of partnership,” she said.

Kasich from 1A

College Republicans

president says education cuts are needed “We have not been able to connect … our universities to real stuff,” Kasich said. “You need to think about what we do with our … universities to work in conjunction with businesses so the students and workers can be trained for the jobs that need to be ÿlled today and the jobs that will be there tomorrow.”

Though Kasich did not speciÿcally address his budget for higher education, which is scheduled to be released March 15, the governor promised cuts to the overall budget and a fundamental “restructuring” to ÿll the $8 billion hole.

“Oh, there will be cuts, but that’s not the way to get there,” Kasich said. “Restructuring means providing a better product at a lower cost to the taxpayer.”

Jim Petro, designate chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents pending Senate advice and approval, said higher education would continue to be an important part of economic growth in the state.

“Higher education is not being changed in a fashion that people who are part of higher education will feel is dramatic or is jeopardizing the importance of higher education,” Petro said.

The reform Kasich is speaking of, Petro said, refers to an effort to properly train students in technical schools and community colleges for employment.

Matthew Caffrey, president of College Democrats at Ohio State and a fourth-year in political science, said proof of how concerned Kasich is with higher education will be in the budget.

“The governor can say anything he wants about his priorities and how much he loves our institutions of higher learning, but when all of his policies and all

of his budget priorities go directly against that, it’s very hard to take him seriously,” Caffrey said.

Caffrey said the coming budget could signiÿcantly cut funds from the higher education, leading to a possible increase of as much as 20 percent in tuition.

Meagan Cyrus, president of OSU College Republicans and a third-year in political science, said potential cuts to the higher education budget would likely be necessary to balance the overall budget and promote job growth.

“I deÿnitely trust his judgment and I’m really excited to see what he has in store,” Cyrus said. ”The way things are now, it’s deÿnitely not conducive to business and people trying to ÿnd jobs. It’s kind of a give and take.”

Though there is disagreement across party lines about the agenda the governor has laid out, it was amid a shower of boos following his mention of SB 5, that Kasich made his opinion on bipartisanship clear.

“I appreciate the passion of people that don’t agree with us,” he said. “People who feel strongly, I respect them, but they need to also respect those that don’t always agree with them.”

Kasich carried his spirit of bipartisanship through to his ÿnal remark.

“We are not Republicans, we are not Democrats, we are not liberals and we are not conservatives.

We are Ohioans, and together we will climb the mountain and make Ohio great.”

Shooting from 1A

Theresa says

background check would have made all the difference before the shootings, she went to his house to lend money to Brown, who struggled to pay for his house. That night, the report said, he beat her head and face with a black handgun.

Two of Brown’s friends had told Dunson that he was planning on doing something “stupid” after he learned he would be ÿred, according to the report.

University ofÿcials, however, said the signs weren’t as clear.

“Anyone would wish in hindsight that this tragedy could have been prevented, but there was really not evidence that it could have been,” said Mary Lynn Readey, associate vice president for FOD, in September.

OSU has programs to investigate and ÿre violent employees, but Readey said those mechanisms “simply did not get triggered.” A background check never turned up that Brown had spent time in prison for receiving stolen property.

On Sept. 2, Larry Lewellen, former vice president of

Wednesday March 9, 2011

Check thelantern.com for video of Tressel, Gee and Smith

the Department of Human Resources, sent a campus-wide e-mail announcing plans to require employees to undergo background checks by a contractor before they are hired.

The Lantern reported Tuesday that Lewellen said the new background check policy is scheduled to begin seven months later on April 1 and current employees who have prior convictions have been screened for crimes committed.

“A background check would’ve made a big difference,” Theresa said. “A few phone calls would’ve made a big difference.”

USG President Micah Kamrass said the anniversary of the campus shootings are “a reminder of the importance to be mindful, and to look out for events that we never expect to happen at Ohio State.”

Amanda said she still thinks about her father.

“Memories come back,” she said. “I’m really sad. I miss him a lot.”

Theresa said there is a private memorial service and dinner for Larry this evening at Black Lake Park.

Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel and athletic director Gene Smith address the media at the Jack Nicklaus Museum on Tuesday.

Tressel from 1A

$250,000 fine to cover costs of investigation In the e-mail, the attorney states that the “federal government raided (Rife’s) house” April 1, 2010, seizing $70,000 in cash and “a lot of Ohio State memorabilia.”

Tressel responded the same day with “I will get on it ASAP.” On April 16, 2010, the attorney informed Tressel that Rife told him he had “about 15 pairs of cleats (with signatures), 4-5 jerseys — all signed by the players” and nine Big Ten Championship rings.

Tressel responded with “keep me posted as to what I need to do, if anything. I will keep pounding these kids hoping they grow up.”

The attorney sent Tressel another e-mail later that day, telling the coach that two student-athletes were in contact with Rife.

On June 1, 2010, Tressel e-mailed the attorney, asking if he had any additional names of student-athletes involved. The attorney replied that he did not.

“Our rings arrive this week for 2009 Big Ten … any names from our last discussion? I would like to hold some collateral if you know what I mean,” Tressel wrote.

The attorney responded that other than the two players, he had no additional information.

According to a university press release, OSU became aware of Tressel’s prior knowledge Jan. 13 when OSU’s Ofÿce of Legal Affairs came across one of Tressel’s e-mails while reviewing information on an unrelated legal issue. At that time, the coach shared with university ofÿcials why he didn’t previously disclose the information during the school’s investigation into the players selling memorabilia to the tattoo parlor.

“I think that your No. 1 critic is yourself, so you spend time thinking about how you can do things better,” Tressel said. “I don’t think less of myself at this moment. I felt at the time as if I was doing the right thing for the safety of the people and the overall situation.”

After further delving into the situation and questioning Tressel on Jan. 16, OSU notiÿed the NCAA on Feb. 3 that Tressel had violated provisions of NCAA Bylaw 10.1. The NCAA interviewed Tressel on Feb. 8.

Yahoo! Sports reported Monday that Tressel was made aware that quarterback Terrelle Pryor and four other juniors sold memorabilia to the owner of Fine Line Ink tattoos in Columbus in April. OSU reported the violations to the NCAA on Dec. 8, 2010. The NCAA handed down ÿvegame suspensions to the ÿve juniors on Dec. 23, 2010.

The NCAA granted the players eligibility for the Sugar Bowl, which Tressel only allowed the suspended juniors to attend after they pledged to return for their senior seasons.

“I want to be clear,” Smith said. “(Tressel’s case) is separate from the case that involves our student-athletes. There is no intertwining of the cases.”

OSU beat Arkansas, 31-26, in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4. An interception by defensive end Solomon Thomas — one of the ÿve juniors facing a suspension — ended a Razorback drive in Buckeye territory with less than a minute left, sealing the victory.

Smith, chair of the men’s NCAA Tournament selection committee, left meetings in New York to ° y back to Columbus. Smith said he had hoped to ÿle the self-report to the NCAA by the end of the week, but urged his co-workers to speed up the process when Yahoo! Sports reported Monday that Tressel had prior knowledge he didn’t disclose.

“There’s no question; we had a leak,” Smith said, “and we wanted to be as responsive as we could.”

Gee said the thought of ÿring Tressel never crossed his mind, adding that he and Tressel discussed the situation at Gee’s house for “about three hours.”

The $250,000 ÿne will cover “direct costs of the investigation,” including travel and collaboration with an “outside consultant,” according to the press release.

Should the NCAA uphold OSU’s sanctions, Tressel will miss the Buckeyes’ ÿrst two games of the 2011 season — home contests against MAC opponents Akron and Toledo. OSU plays at Miami (Fla.) in Week 3.

“I asked for a little advice as to how I should’ve taken this forward,” Tressel said. “I’ve learned that I probably needed to go to the top legal counsel person at the university and get some help as to how you handle criminal investigations and conÿdentiality and perhaps gain the protection you need in the process.

“Obviously, I’m disappointed that this happened at all. I take my responsibility for what we do at Ohio State tremendously seriously.”

Besides Thomas and Pryor, the other juniors suspended for the ÿrst ÿve games of next season are: offensive lineman Mike Adams, running back Dan Herron and wide receiver DeVier Posey.

This isn’t the ÿrst time Tressel has faced scrutiny for NCAA infractions while part of the OSU football program.

Running back Maurice Clarett was suspended for the 2003 season for accepting improper beneÿts.

Quarterback Troy Smith was suspended for the 2004 Alamo Bowl and 2005 season opener after accepting money from a booster.

Tressel was scheduled to sign copies of his book, “Life Promises for Success,” at Barnes & Noble on OSU’s campus Tuesday night.

The store conÿrmed to The Lantern that the event was postponed until Spring Quarter.

OSU football historian Jack Park said despite the immediate hit to Tressel’s image, down the road, the coach will be remembered for his accomplishments on the ÿeld.

“I think in a few years as you re° ect on everything and the rest of this comes out,” Park said, “unless there’s more of the story that we don’t know about, based on what we learned tonight, I don’t think it will have a major impact on coach Tressel’s legacy. He’s just been too good for too long.”

student voice Standardized tests bring out the worst in students my now behemoth frame to have a continually firm grasp on my answer sheet, question sheet, archaic number two pencils, and thus necessary pencil sharpener, tissues (for when I have my compulsory breakdown), highlighter and erasers (phew!). The flipping, turning, picking, and placing called for a pre-planned gracefully maneuvered pattern —coordination that I was utterly unprepared for. Needless to say, my general malaise only grew as the clock ticked down the ANUSREE GARG end of the test. At its conclusion, I garg.30@osu.edu impolitely hurdled out the door and sought the refuge of my room.

The purpose of this story is twofold: Your own, analogous standardized testing experience lends me your sympathy (though if you’re a person with considerable sang-froid you have rightfully smirked at my

Last month, I decided to partake in the dreadfully ceremonial tradition for all potential graduate students: the standardized test. In my previous sentence, the word potential was chosen with particular care since, let’s face it, in the numbers-driven admissions mania, the laudatory highs or blemishing lows are the decisive ingredient of our hopeful applications — either securing our secondary degrees and the resulting crowning glory of graduation parties or forcing us to reroute to plan B. My test of choice, the LSAT, was of typical length, administered over a four-hour time span on a frightfully early Saturday morning to students artificially awakened by extra shots of espresso. After ensuring that all remaining fluid contents were deposited with our fourth, and last, trip to the bathroom, we were ungraciously herded into our alphabetized rooms akin to a flock of jittery, antsy sheep. Seated and waiting, it suddenly became apparent to me that my test-room proctors, average Ohioan citizens I’d meet at any given bus stop, grocery line, traffic jam, etc., had morphed into almighty beings whose generous time slip-ups could let me hurriedly fill in that extra bubble on my answer sheet.

Normally, I’d consider myself a resident of Lilliput in Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels because of my small stature. But quite suddenly, I found myself to be Brobdingnagian — my appointed desk was entirely too small for

expense), and secondly, though these tests intend to remain agonizing, perhaps we can take a cue from the composed and aim to lessen our trepidation.

A possible suggestion: Approach your selected standardized test with a finals mentality. With the exception of Fall-Quarter freshmen, final exams are second nature to college students. That is not to say we are unconcerned and negligently ill-prepared; rather, we have proportioned anxiety — a contrast to the ballooned fear that reaches the degree of hyperventilation for weightier standardized tests of graduate school admissions. In fact, midway through college, typical exam procedure becomes so ingrained in students that it almost transforms to a ritualistic endeavor. Moreover, any remaining tension is automatically allayed with the prospect of a forthcoming break.

So, I recommend that you retain the poise and constructive amount of anxiety of final exam week and preserve these sensible sentiments for your standardized testing day. You will be glad you did when you receive numerous “We are pleased to inform you….” letters to the most reputable of graduate schools. That is, until you are seated to take your respective medical boards and bar exam—then it’s time to worry.

Spring break: Scattergories, not sunshine LANTERN Columnist

Spring break is quickly approaching. Although, I’m sure many will argue not quickly enough.

I think it’s safe to say that the majority of students have a mental countdown ticking. In fact, I’d bet there are a few who happily rip off a post-it note every day, revealing a numeral countdown that ends with a smiley face and a doodle of the sun.

College students are known for celebrating spring break to its fullest potential, and if any readers recall some of my previANDREA CHAFFIN ous columns, it will probably not chaffin.47@osu.edu surprise them when I admit I have never gone on a spring break adventure.

Cancun?

Nope.

Acapulco?

Nope.

Panama?

You guessed it.

Instead, when I calculated the week of spring break, I realized it also fell on the same week a co-worker was taking time off to go on vacation.

She’s going to Panama.

So, how am I going to celebrate my senior year spring break?

By picking up a couple shifts, of course.

What happened to me? Sometimes I wonder how my desires can differ so greatly from my peers. Don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing I’d love more than some sunshine.

Actually, a severe sunburn sounds pretty darn good right now.

But who am I kidding? I’d be lost among a sea of half-naked young people, enjoying more than a few games of beachside beer pong. I don’t even own a bikini, and I’m pretty sure that’s a pre-requisite for spring break.

Working all week sounds like a good plan.

But don’t worry, I made sure to plan a few days of relaxed fun.

Saturday night, I’m hosting a Scattergories party.

Try not to be too jealous while you’re soaking up rays down south, OK? Besides, I don’t have the money to whisk myself off to a tropical vacation, and I can definitely use the extra cash I earn to buy my textbooks for Spring Quarter.

That’s the responsible Andrea chiming in. That’s the grown-up Andrea. That’s the adult Andrea.

Sometimes, being a grown-up isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

There are definitely some benefits. For example, I can stay up and play Scattergories as long as I want Saturday night.

I know you’re jealous.

A few weeks ago, I was sick. And from the sounds of the trumpetlike nose blowing, moaning, sneezing and wheezing in class, I’m pretty sure Ohio State as a whole was under the weather.

The effect we created was really quite impressive. There was never any silence, and for good reason, the professors looked scared for their lives.

But, while I was sprawled across the couch for three days, there was no one to take care of me.

No one to offer me chicken soup.

No one to place their hand on my forehead in that comforting way.

No one to remind me that it’s time for medicine, by gently awaking me with a handful of pills and a small glass of orange juice.

I was flying solo. I literally ate S’mores Pop-Tarts for the duration of my sickness, and it wasn’t nearly as awesome as some might think.

By the second day, I paced around the kitchen for a solid two minutes before settling on the shiny little bag, once again.

And so, I have decided it’s OK that I will have never been on a spring break adventure in college. It’s just part of growing up. There is no spring break in the professional world.

Besides, if I really want to participate in the spring break atmosphere, I can always just walk over to the Oval during Spring Quarter.

But, I’m pretty sure a bikini is a pre-requisite over there, too.

point out a series of factors that mirror the ones we should monitor as people concerned about suicide prevention.

Loss in jobs, relationship issues, family abuse, the list is endless.

These factors can be divided into two categories – risk factors and warning signs. Risk factors make an individual more susceptible to suicidal thinking and behavior.

Warning signs are factors that may signal that an individual has become PATRICIA CUNNINGHAM suicidal. cunningham.212@osu.edu Mental illness is often heightened by a common theme on college campuses – drinking.

Alcohol and mental illness is a bad combination with sometimes deadly consequences. Many people with depression drink, or use drugs, to relieve their symptoms. They reduce inhibitions and increase risk-taking, possibly increasing self-destructiveness. This will lead to poor choices.

If you notice a friend getting more out of hand, you cannot just

LANTERN Columnist

The second-leading cause of death in college students is suicide, according to suicide.org. That means that this year, more than 1,100 students will commit suicide. The suicide rate for 15-24 year olds has increased 200 percent in the past 50 years. What might be a surprise to most people is that 90 percent of people who complete suicides are white students.

According to the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, suicide is a public health issue. It is a public health issue that stems from a mental health issue. Many times we are not linking our health issues to mental health wellness. A shift in your appetite, having new skin issues, problems concentrating and anxious thoughts are important things to notice in yourself and those around you.

College students coming to campuses across the country need more mental health support. There are 25 percent of college students feeling anxious and the numbers go up every year. Why are we all on edge? This might be to the McDonald’s-ization of our country. Everything is open 24 hours a day. There is no holiday that is sacred. Leisure time is dedicated to texting and playing the latest Playstation game.

As Americans we live overcommitted lives compared to other countries. A study by Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, professors at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, showed happiness in the United States has dropped in the past 30 years. The authors

blame it on the alcohol, like Jamie Foxx tells us to do. We have to be mindful that this may be systemic of some other issues. If a friend is more violent or more sexual when drinking, there might be some other things going on in their lives that we just do not know about.

We know that men commit suicide more than four times as often as women, but women attempt suicide about three times as often as men, according to Suicide.org. For young adults ages 15-19, five times as many males as females commit suicide. Suicide and suicidal behaviors come from a complex interaction among social (family, peer group, cultural), individual (psychological, genetic, biological) and environmental influences.

College as a rite of passage becomes a place where so many risk factors are raised. There are people equipped to help. There is gateway training available so you can learn to know the signs and be assertive about your community instead of passive.

A university website, reach.osu.edu, is about suicide prevention. If we can frame suicide as a public health issue, it means it is a community issue. We can all equip ourselves to know the signs and help the people who are suffering around us. As we get ready for finals and projects, keep one eye on your work and one eye on your friends.

Kanye West video is hardly monstrous Nearly three months after it first leaked online, it looks like Kanye West’s gory “Monster” video will appear on MTV after all.

Reports emerged shortly after the video surfaced that it would be banned from MTV. However, the network issued a statement Monday saying the video was, in fact, not banned from the network after all.

MTV has asked West and company to make edits to the video to make it friendlier. The video still hasn’t appeared on the network and it is unclear when it will.

The “Monster” video features Rick Ross rapping among a room of hanging dead corpses, West in bed with dead women and being groped by zombie women, Jay-Z rapping with a naked corpse behind him and Nicki Minaj waving her rear in the air near an executioner’s chair.

ALEX ANT ONET Z antonetz.3@osu.edu After behind-the-scenes footage of Ross eating bloody human meat, and later, a trailer and the full video leaked online, it was rumored that MTV would ban the video from its network.

While there’s no doubt the video is slightly disturbing, it certainly never

becomes anything today’s general consumers would be uncomfortable with. It’s never gory or exceedingly violent, but instead, just a little weird.

In a world where 16-year-olds are brutally murdering rebel armies on their Xboxes, heads explode in torture films and Ke$ha is saturating the music industry with lyrics and song titles written straight out of text messages, why are we so worried about a music video with actual artistic merit?

And besides, we should be praising West for his videos. After all, they run circles around most of today’s music video fare. Hardly any other pop artists display the originality and creative force West does, maybe with the exception of Lady Gaga.

Since his 35-minute, long-form “Runaway” video and his “Power” video (and since, his seizure-inducing

“All of the Lights” video), West has set the bar for pop videos higher than virtually anyone can reach. Instead, we’re treated to the “Jersey Shore” version of “I Like It” and Lady Gaga hatching eggs from her crotch.

In today’s world, we may as well expect everything that isn’t “wholesome” not to escape the wrath of parent groups. Just because a video has a few dead people — dead people that, shockingly, aren’t actually dead — flailing around in the background, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have redeeming qualities.

West’s video doesn’t do anything particularly offensive, so let’s not cry wolf. If it were celebrating 9/11, then maybe it would be right to censor it.

Instead, we should allow beautifully shot, sublime (yet creepy) videos to be shared with the world, even if they do have a few drops of blood.

Dublin parade gets St. Patrick’s into gear Sarah Suter Lantern reporter suter.11@osu.edu Those looking to start the celebrations early on Saturday can catch the mile-long St. Patrick’s Day Parade at 11 a.m. in Dublin, Ohio.

“It’s kind of the unofficial kick off for St. Patrick’s Day,” said Trish Lackey, the parade manager.

The day begins at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast put on by the Dublin Lions Club.

Breakfast will be served at Sells Middle School on 150 W. Bridge St. During the breakfast a raffle will be held, and winners will receive prizes from local businesses. Raffle tickets can be purchased during the breakfast or before by contacting Scott Pape (scott.pape@infor.com), according to the Dublin Lions Club website.

Other local businesses will be participating in the fun as well.

“We will be opening at 10 a.m.,” said Cathy Miller, supervisor at the Dublin Village Tavern. She said the restaurant menu will consist mostly of Irish cuisine such as corn beef and cabbage, Irish casserole and Irish egg rolls. The tavern is located on South High Street.

Dublin Village Tavern is not the only restaurant that will be involved in the festivities.

Brazenhead will be serving Irish food specials such as shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and corned beef and cabbage, and will have live entertainment throughout the day, manager Chris Parker said.

The entertainment will begin at “noon, and entertainment runs from noon to midnight,” Parker said. He added that Irish dancers and “bagpipe groups” will be on location, and there will be many free giveaways throughout the day. Brazenhead is located on North High Street.

Local businesses may be more inclined to join in a St. Patrick’s Day celebration due to the city slogan: “Irish is an Attitude.” The slogan was created through a branding effort by the Dublin Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, said Scott Dring, an executive director at the bureau.

“In Dublin we certainly do celebrate the name Dublin, Ohio, whenever we get a chance,” said Mary Jo DiSalvo, events administrator for the City of Dublin.

Due to the amount of events that are happening in addition to the parade, there seems to be something for everyone. This accessibility is evident by the number of people who usually attend, around 20,000, DiSalvo said.

“We have people of all ages at every parade,” DiSalvo said. “If you like to go out and just be entertained, then certainly there’s something here for you.”

The parade lasts for about an hour, because there are about 100 units in total, Lackey

One of the biggest musical acts in pop music is scheduled to stop in Columbus on Thursday at the Schottenstein Center for about 12,000 fans. Lady Gaga’s “Monster Ball” is making its first appearance in central Ohio on the third leg of its tour. Gaga has been touring since late 2009, after her joint tour with Kanye West was canceled. No reason was given for the cancellation of the “Fame Kills” tour, but it came after a wave of negative publicity for West following his interruption of Taylor Swift at the VMA’s.

Tickets for the Columbus show went on sale in May 2010 and regularly priced tickets sold out immediately.

Dave Redelberger, promotions manager for the Schottenstein Center, said they are expecting a sold-out show by Thursday, though there were still tickets available as of Tuesday.

Derek Coalter, student manager at D-Tix in the Ohio Union, said that while they didn’t have the discounted tickets right when they went on sale in May, they had it worked out with the Schottenstein Center to acquire them for Ohio State students.

D-Tix got about 200 tickets to sell at $70, which sold out one day after they went on sale in the Union, Coalter said.

set pieces, which include a giant mechanical, set man-eating fish,

Nick Ansara, a third year in hospitality management considered getting tickets from D-Tix too great a risk.

“I would have been afraid that I wouldn’t have been able to make it to the Union, or they would run out of tickets,” Ansara said. “I wanted to ensure I had tickets.”

During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Gaga explained where her tour got its name and the overall theme.

“It’s still called ‘Monster Ball,’ but it’s more of a musical and less of a concert. It has a New York theme.

It’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the ‘Monster Ball,’ and we get lost,” she said.

arts&life Lantern cd reviews Lupe lasers through long-awaited album Jessica Sham baugh Lantern reporter shambaugh.13@osu.edu After three years of waiting, Lupe Fiasco’s fans finally got to listen to “Lasers.” Listeners can expect catchy beats and Fiasco’s typical wit, but should be ready to be bombarded by second-rate collaborators.

Like his previous albums, the majority of the songs on “Lasers” include featured artists, but this time they add very little to the sound. The opening track, “Letting Go,” features Sarah Green, and it seems her only job is to provide an awkwardly whiny ending for an otherwise great song.

Other tracks use the additional voice well, however.

John Legend’s smooth voice mixes well with Fiasco’s rhymes in “Never Forget You.” Skylar Grey breaks up Fiasco’s controversy-baiting attacks in “Words I Never Said.”

Although the album is preachy at times, Fiasco stays true to his established disdain for vulgarity and instead opts for a more inspirational message, usually hidden within his attacks on media and politics.

In “Words I Never Said,” listeners hear his ideas on war, media and the education system.

The song includes lines such as

“Lasers” Lupe Fiasco

“your child’s future was the first to go with budget cuts” and calls out Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck as racists (making the addition of Grey’s soothing voice a good idea).

The delay of the album’s release does not go unmentioned. Fiasco opens his track “Till I Get There” by complaining about his album’s postponement.

He offers the opening verse as more of an excuse than an apology, but the witty metaphors and head-bobbing beat of the song more than make up for its tardiness.

Some will see it as inspiring, others will see it as controversial, but one thing true to all opinions is that “Lasers” represents Fiasco doing what he does best: entertaining listeners with his wit and insight, although he may need to “Kick, Push” some collaborators off any future work to maintain his tone.

‘What the Hell’ is wrong with Avril?

Leah Wyna lek Copy chief wynalek.3@osu.edu Avril Lavigne’s feisty new single, “What the Hell,” suggested her new album would have the same pop-punk spunk as her last.

But “Goodbye Lullaby” will leave listeners wondering “What the Hell” happened?

The 26-year-old singer has grown up since she released “The Best Damn Thing” in 2007. In 2009, she and Deryck Whibley of punk band Sum 41 ended their threeyear marriage. Interestingly, Whibley produced Lavigne’s new album and inspired a couple of breakup ballads.

Though heartfelt, Lavigne’s attempts at slow numbers are boring. Tracks such as “I Love You,” “Everybody Hurts” and “4 Real” have lyrics and melodies that are just as simplistic as their titles.

Unfortunately, these seemingly interchangeable ballads make up most of the album.

Where Lavigne succeeds is in the up-tempo tracks where she asserts her independence. Much like her 2007 hit “Girlfriend,” “What the Hell” is the best song on the album, and it’s no wonder it became

“goodbye Lullaby” avril Lavigne

R.E.M. comes in full form for 15th album “collapse into now” r.e.m.

R yan B ook Arts editor book.15@osu.edu

her first single. But any song where Lavigne relies on swear words seems to do the trick.

“Smile,” another danceable track, opens with the line, “You know that I’m a crazy b----/ I do what I want when I feel like it.” That attitude is more suited to the pinkstreaked haired Canadian than her more subdued tracks, at least until she steps up her song-writing.

“Stop Standing There” is also a high point on the album. Claps and snaps add some body and playfulness to the song, elements that are lacking in tracks such as “I Love You,” which has a thin melody and uninspired lyrics.

Lavigne has a handful of songs on the album with enough pep to make it big on the radio, but the majority of tracks on “Goodbye Lullaby” will put listeners to sleep.

R.E.M. has put out many critically acclaimed albums over its 30-plus years of existence.

It would be a bold statement to claim that “Collapse Into Now,” its 15th album, is the best yet. So I’ll say it’s the second-best yet.

1983’s “Murmur” is the only exception (and an exceptional exception at that) in my mind that R.E.M. outdoes “Collapse Into Now,” but thus album finds greatness in a largely different manner than the band’s breakthrough album. R.E.M. was a pioneer of the “college rock” scene, a genre emphasizing modest attitudes and attacks. On “Collapse Into Now,” the group often veers into legitimate rock ‘n’ roll.

The opening tracks, “Discoverer” and “All The Best,” dive headlong into the mood. Vocalist Michael Stipe’s lyrics aren’t any less profound than normal, but the choruses are enough to make the listener’s head rock along.

Single “Mine Smell Like Honey” rocks less, but is plenty uplifting.

The group seems to come through even when the lyrics aren’t up to snuff. “Alligator_Aviator_Autopilot_Antimatter” has lyrics that are less than sensible, but Stipe builds up

momentum (along with guest vocalist Peaches) and everything turns out OK. The group still delivers when it slows things down, however.

“It Happened Today” (featuring Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder) and “Überlin” are more typical R.E.M. fare, and the band is comfortable on the songs.

The most impressive moment on the album happens during “Blue,” the concluding track that lives up to its name in terms of emotions. After Patti Smith’s guest vocals end, the song seems to be fading out when a rising guitar adds an unexpected 30-second concluding statement. As a song ending, this is pretty good. As an album ending, this is excellent.

R.E.M. might not be as “college rock” as they once were in terms of genre, but there is no doubt this album is great for a college, or any, audience.

This is the first time the event is being hosted by the Big Buddha Sports Cards, out of Mt. Sterling, Ohio.

“There have been different shows for a while now,” said Rodney Russell of Big Buddha. “Different promoters of them have stepped down, so we threw our hat in the ring to host it this time.”

The event will be more than collectors just showing off their cards. There will be numerous vendors coming to sell their cards as well as famous athletes and performers at the event to sign autographs and meet fans, Russell said.

“Pete Johnson (former Cincinnati Bengals HB) and Brutus Beefcake (a former professional wrestler) will be there signing autographs,” he said. The other 11 athletes attending the event include former Bengals fullback Ickey Woods and former Buckeye football players Ross Homan and Brian Rolle.

“Lots of people come to meet celebrities and have a chance to get autographs and take pictures,” Russell said, “but there will also be sports cards and history.”

While this event may be a big deal for sports cards collectors throughout

Ohio, the industry as a whole isn’t as popular as it used to be, said Karry Stich of Starchild card shop in Gahanna.

“Once you start getting into the old stuff, I have individual cards,” he said, “but I don’t have boxes and boxes of the old stuff.”

His shop carries football, baseball, basketball and hockey cards.

“I have basketball cards probably going back to the ‘60s,” he said. “And the same goes for hockey.”

The vintage cards are the ones people really collect, said Jerry Hartman of Hartman’s Sports Cards on Morse Road.

“I have cards dating all the way back to the ‘50s and ‘60s,” he said. “Those are the ones that people want to collect because they will never lose their value.

Since they will only go up in value, they’re hard to hold onto,” he said.

And it isn’t just people who were around in the ‘50s and ‘60s collecting these cards.

“I have customers in their youth, who are only 4 or 5 years old, all the way up into their 80s,” Hartman said.

The event this weekend will have something for all of these collectors. There will be door prizes, raffles and a live auction at 2 p.m. Saturday, Russell said.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Admission is free for everyone as is parking for the first 100 attendees to the event each day.

set pieces, including “The Fame Monster,” a giant, mechanical, man-eating fish. She has a different costume for nearly every song she performs. Redelberger said the enormity of Gaga’s setup caused seating problems.

“We can’t fit as many people as we can for a basketball game because of her (Gaga’s) stage,” he said.

Not to be outdone by their “Mother Monster,” fans have taken to dressing up in costumes similar to those in Gaga’s videos and even making up some outfits on their own.

“I hope that people go all out for the concert. I’ve seen pictures of fans at her other concerts and they go way over the top,” said Carly Weisenbach, a second-year in communication.

The most recent addition to “Monster Ball” is Gaga’s new single, “Born This Way,” which she has been saving for the last song of the night, according to the Chicago-Sun Times.

Redelberger said ticket sales spiked again when Gaga’s new song hit the radio waves.

“Lady Gaga has a true connection with her ‘little monsters,’” he said. “It’s really a culture of tolerance, the ‘we’ll all get along’ mentality.”

Billboard has estimated that by the time the tour finishes in 2011, making way for the “Born This Way Ball,” it will have grossed about $200 million worldwide.

Past opening acts have included Kid Cudi, Jason Derulo and Far East Movement. The opening act for Gaga at the Schott will be the Scissor Sisters.

Redelberger said many concertgoers would be driving in from out of town, and as a result, OSU Director of Transportation and Parking Services Beth Kelley-Snoke said she is staffing at “full-deployment” for the concert. She also said to expect road delays for about 40 minutes after the concert ends.

Kelley-Snoke said shuttles will run from the Buckeye lots near Ackerman.

Laurie Watkins, manager of the Varsity Club, a restaurant on Lane Avenue, said an event like this brings a lot of business in the hours before the show.

“We’re used to working big events,” said Watkins. “If you can handle football, you can pretty much handle Lady Gaga.”

Gaga was not available for comment prior to the show, but fans were more than willing to promote it.

“I’m excited to see something new,” Ansara said. “She’s really talented, and puts on a great show.”

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith handles questions from the media as President E. Gordon Gee and coach Jim T ressel await questions on T uesday.

Tressel in turmoil

Answering questions about what’s next for Tressel and Buckeyes James oldh am and bl ake Willi ams Senior Lantern reporters oldham.29@osu.edu and williams.3012@osu.edu Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel, athletic director Gene Smith and university President E. Gordon Gee met with the media at 7 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the NCAA violations committed by the coach.

Tressel has been suspended for the first two games of the 2011 season, ordered to attend a compliance seminar and fined $250,000 by the university.

Though the three responded to questions for about 15 minutes after their statements, they left many more to be answered.

What wrongdoing did Tressel commit?

On April 2, 2010, Tressel received an e-mail from an attorney. The contents of the e-mail alerted Tressel to the fact that the owner of a local tattoo parlor, Edward “Eddie” Rife,

was recently involved in a federal government investigation.

His house had been raided the day before, and the government seized $70,000 as well as some memorabilia from OSU, including championship rings. He was also informed in the e-mail that a Buckeye player had taken signed memorabilia to Rife, who was flipping the items for profit, while in turn supplying the players with free tattoos.

Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the e-mail came at the end, where the attorney listed various criminal charges involving Rife in the past, including a conviction for felony forgery.

“It kind of jogged in my mind some of the toughest losses I’ve ever had in coaching,” Tressel said. “I’ve had a player murdered; I’ve had a player incarcerated; I’ve had a player get taken into the drug culture and lose his opportunity for a productive life. And so it was obviously tremendously concerning. Quite honestly, I was scared.”

Tressel replied that he would “get on it ASAP.” Over the

“I think overall it was just handled really well. All different parties being there, Gordon Gee, Jim Tressel, Gene Smith. I like that Tressel started from the beginning and explained the situation and how he handled it.”

“I really have to question the man’s judgment. If you get a letter from somebody like that, and you know that part of your responsibility is, again, to report any sort of situation like this to other authorities, I have to question the judgment of a man who doesn’t seek any sort of legal counsel to find the best action. Also, I feel like I should mention that the man has had run-ins with the NCAA enough and the players with crimes enough that I do have to question how well you can ‘play dumb’ in a situation like that.”

Mission 1 complete; tournament next Ben Axelrod Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu One week after winning its second consecutive Big Ten title, the Ohio State men’s basketball team will look to earn its second consecutive Big Ten Tournament title, when it travels to Indianapolis for part two of what the team is calling a three-part mission.

“Our first mission was, you know, a regular-season Big Ten championship.

That’s complete,” fifth-year senior forward David Lighty said following the Buckeyes’ 93-65 win against Wisconsin on Sunday.

“And now we’re just turning our focus on the little three-day tournament that we need to win. That just will get us ready for the NCAA Tournament.”

Holding the No. 1 seed in the tournament, the Buckeyes will receive a bye for the first round of the tournament Thursday, and will return to action at noon Friday, when they’ll face the winner of Thursday’s matchup between Northwestern and Minnesota. OSU is a combined 3-0 against Northwestern and Minnesota this season, having beaten Minnesota twice, and

Friendly rivalry benefits Buckeyes Danny hicks Lantern reporter hicks.361@osu.edu Ohio State senior wrestling captain Colt Sponseller, 165 pounds, and redshirt junior Sean Nemec, 157 pounds, were once competing rivals, wrestling twice in high school. When they became Buckeyes, their competition evolved into a competitive friendship in which they pushed each other to be better athletes.

Sponseller said making the transition from competitive rival to teammate and friend came easy for him.

“Up through high school I think we viewed each other as competitors and people we wanted to beat,” he said.

In high school they wrested each other twice: once during their sophomore year and another their senior year. Nemec won the first meeting and Sponseller won the last.

“I was a little beat up at the time. I’ll give myself a little excuse,” Nemec said laughing. “I lost.”

Northwestern once on the road Jan. 29.

Defeating both the Golden Gophers and the Wildcats proved to be no easy tasks for the Buckeyes.

In OSU’s first game against Minnesota on Jan. 9, it took junior William Buford’s blocked shot on Minnesota freshman guard Austin Hollins’ 3-point attempt at the buzzer to secure a 67-64 win against the Golden Gophers.

In the Buckeyes’ lone matchup of the year against Northwestern, OSU found itself tied with the Wildcats in the final minute of play. A steal by Lighty led to a Northwestern foul on OSU freshman forward Jared Sullinger, who made one of his two free-throw attempts, to give the then-unbeaten Buckeyes a 58-57 win.

Should OSU beat either Minnesota or Northwestern, it will continue tournament play Saturday against the winner of Friday’s matchup between Michigan and Illinois. The Wolverines and Fighting Illini will face off 25 minutes after the end of OSU’s second-round matchup.

The Buckeyes hold a combined 4-0 record against both Michigan and Illinois this season. In the event that OSU wins

Buckeyes speak out

The NCAA shouldn’t suspend Jim Tressel for more than two games. It shouldn’t fine him more than $250,000 dollars. It shouldn’t bar him from spring practice and summer workouts.

After it finishes its investigation, the NCAA should recommend Jim Tressel’s termination as head football coach at The Ohio State University.

This incident is further proof that college athletics is spinning out of control, and a message needs to be sent to university presidents and athletic directors who let rule-breaking coaches keep their jobs because they win games and sell tickets.

And that’s exactly why Tressel, who said he never considered resigning, didn’t tell the athletic department that he had received an e-mail from an attorney indicating OSU football players were selling memorabilia to Edward Rife. Rife, the owner of Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor, is one of the focal points of a federal drug investigation.

Tressel’s contract states that he is bound to report any possible violation immediately.

He didn’t.

When Regular Joe with a normal job breaches his contract, he gets the boot.

So should The Vest.

“I am sorry and disappointed this happened,” Tressel said. “At the time the situation occurred, I thought I was doing the right thing.”

Doing the right thing? Surely a deeply religious man with a newly released book titled “Life Promises for Success: Promises from God on Achieving Your Best” knows the difference between right and wrong.

Or does he?

Maurice Clarett and Troy Smith, the highest-profile players of the Tressel era other than current Buckeye quarterback Terrelle Pryor, were both suspended for accepting improper benefits. Tressel also had a player do the same thing at Youngstown State.

It’s clear that Tressel, also

She won both the Big Ten Indoor Track Athlete of the Year and Big Ten Athlete of the Indoor Championships honors, and added a third award Monday. The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association awarded Manning the Great Lakes Regional Track Athlete of the Year award.

Coach Karen Dennis, who also was named by the USTFCCCA the Great Lakes Coach of the Year on Monday, said she was unsure if Manning would make it at OSU at first. Manning had a hard time adjusting to Division I training.

The All-American has committed herself to the program, though, and it has paid off. She won the conference title in the 60-meter hurdles and had runner-up finishes in the 60- and 200-meter dashes.

Trouble from 7A

Interim coach for 1st 2 games next season has yet to be decided next two months, the attorney continued to send Tressel e-mails pertaining to Rife’s misdeeds.

The attorney had recently spoken with Rife, and had more information about the incidents in question. Included in these messages were specific items Rife obtained, including the names of two student-athletes who were selling their championship rings.

The university determined that Tressel violated NCAA Bylaw 10.1, and failed to follow the school’s protocol by not reporting the violations to compliance, or any of the university administrators. It was decided that he had multiple opportunities to do so, and chose to prioritize the ongoing criminal investigation over reporting potential violations in regards to the NCAA rules and regulations.

“I think back to what I could have done differently because obviously as Gene mentioned in the outset an NCAA violation occurred on my part,” Tressel said. “I asked for a little advice as to how I should have taken this forward. I’ve learned that I probably needed to go to the top legal counsel person at the university and get some help as to how you handle primo investigations.”

Will these sanctions hold up to NCAA scrutiny?

Unfortunately for the OSU football program, these selfimposed sanctions are not the end of the scandal. Though the university has conducted its own investigations and levied sanctions against its coach, the NCAA has yet to officially weigh in.

“Even though (the NCAA has) worked with us all the way collaboratively to this point, they still get the self-report,” Smith said. “They deliberate within their

team to determine if they are supportive of the sanctions we have levied and if they agree with the exact bylaw that we have said the violation occurred.”

The OSU athletic department contacted officials early on in its own investigative process, and two NCAA investigators came to campus to begin conducting interviews in unison with the university Feb. 8.

“We decided early on to work with them, to ask them to be a part of the process and work with us from the beginning,” Smith said. “It’s a different model than what you historically see in these types of investigations.”

That OSU went the alternate route and got the NCAA involved sooner rather than later might be its saving grace as it might be more likely that the association simply uphold the university’s self-imposed sanctions.

Students say they are concerned that this investigation might affect the appeal of the suspension the five players who sold memorabilia received.

“I just thought that there is a possibility that the five-game suspension for the kids might’ve been lifted or reduced a little bit, but with this now I think it won’t change at all,” said Jason Ruberg, a fourth-year in health sciences.

Smith, however, assured that the two investigations were “totally separate.”

All that is known for sure is that the 2011 Buckeyes will not have Tressel at the helm for their first two games. The coach is forced to look forward.

“At no point … am I looking for anything other than doing what needs to be done,” Tressel said, “growing from the experiences that we’ve had, and continuing to serve the greatest university in America.”

How will this affect OSU during the 2011 season?

The university has taken corrective and punitive action toward Tressel, the worst of

which includes a two-game suspension for the beginning of the 2011 season and a $250,000 fine.

“Obviously I’m disappointed that this happened at all,” Tressel said. “I take my responsibility for what we do at Ohio State tremendously seriously, and for the game of football.

“I plan to grow from this, and I’m sincerely saddened by the fact that I let some people down.”

Smith was adamant that this incident was separate from the incidents that occurred with the players back in December 2010, Tattoo-gate as they’ve come to be known. However, both transgressions will affect the team in a major way next season.

The football program will now have the responsibility of choosing an interim coach for the first two games. Darrell Hazel, the assistant head coach last season and obvious choice for the gig recently took over as the new coach of Kent State, so he’s out.

Another option is defensive coordinator Jim Heacock, who was the head coach at Illinois State from 1988–95.

At this point, it’s hard to predict who will be stepping in for the Senator to start the season, but what we do know is that the Buckeyes’ first two games, against Akron and Toledo, shouldn’t be nearly as difficult as some of the games they’ll be playing in later in the year.

Still, losing Tressel for the first two games — on top of losing five seniors, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games — will make for a tumultuous start to the 2011 season. Tressel’s leadership in the locker room and along the sidelines will be missed.

Despite all the turmoil, the football program remains united in its efforts. This includes former players, whose support for Tressel has been unwavering.

“It doesn’t change my opinion of him. I would do anything for coach Tress,” former kicker Mike

Tressel deserves more than this slap on the wrist author of “The Winner’s Manual,” wants to win at all cost. The mantra is shared by athletic director Gene Smith and university President E. Gordon Gee, who make up the university’s “Big Three.”

When asked whether he considered firing Tressel, Gee gave a clear indication of who actually runs the university.

“No, are you kidding?”

Gee said with a laugh. “Let me be very clear: I’m just hoping the coach doesn’t dismiss me.”

I rest my case.

At this point OSU has given Tressel a slap on the wrist. The NCAA should break his arm.

coach Jim t ressel answers questions from the media on t uesday.

Nugent said. “I think it’s terrible that he had to be a part of it, and I’ve never met someone with so much class and I just hate that this happened. He doesn’t deserve it; he doesn’t deserve any of this.”

News regarding the interim coaching assignment should be announced before the start of spring practices.

How will this affect his legacy?

Tressel has amassed a record of 106-22 at OSU with one national title and seven Big Ten championships during his decade with the program.

Though Tressel has been lauded for his success on the field, many have also praised the man for his integrity off it. This scandal might call that feature of the man’s personality into doubt.

“I really have to question the man’s judgment,” said Richard Hersch, a third-year in actuarial science. “If you get a letter from somebody like that … you know that part of your responsibility is to report any sort of situation like this to other authorities.”

Others pointed to the fact that Tressel’s transgression was an error in judgment, and, as such, one he should not be judged too harshly for.

“It wasn’t that he went out and, you know, elected to do something illegal or against recruiting regulations and thought he couldn’t get caught.

It wasn’t anything like that at all,” OSU football historian Jack Park said. “It was something he had to deal with because of some actions of other players.”

Regardless of how the transgression is viewed, it did occur and must be put into the context of the coach’s résumé.

That résumé is compared to former OSU coach Woody Hayes, who compiled a 205-61-10 record, three national titles and 13 Big Ten crowns with the team. His career ended after punching a Clemson player in the 1978 Gator Bowl.

Park said Tressel’s failure to report knowledge of violations does not resonate in the same way as Hayes’ assault.

“I think it’s pretty major right now because it happened (yesterday) and we’re all talking about it,” he said. “I think in a few years as you reflect on everything … I don’t think it will have a major impact on coach Tressel’s legacy.”

Regular season title isn’t enough for Bucks, on the mission for more its third-round matchup on Saturday, it will advance to the championship game at 3:30 p.m.

Sunday.

Despite his team having already wrapped up a regularseason championship — and likely a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament — OSU coach Thad Matta said he is confident his team is focused on the second part of its mission.

“That’s honestly how these guys have thought all along,” Matta said following Sunday’s win against Wisconsin. “I told them, ‘Hey, enjoy this tonight, but when we get back together, please bring the same mindset you’ve brought for 133 practices already this year.”

Manning is 2nd Buckeye to win Athlete of the Year honors for women’s track and field program for her,” Dennis said. “I’m delighted that she committed to returning, and returning as the quality athlete I thought I recruited.”

Manning, who attended Westlake High School in Waldorf, Md., said she realized she had to grow up if she would make it at OSU. “I felt like I had to be more mature,” Manning said. “In high school, track wasn’t that much of a serious sport. We barely trained in practice. … It was more like a social thing.”

Manning joins former NCAA champion Donica Merriman as the only Buckeyes to win Athlete of the Year honors for women’s track and field.

She is the third Buckeye to win the Athlete of the Championships recognition along with Merriman and Bridgette Tate.

Nemec from 6A

Struck with injury, Nemec will undergo shoulder surgery and will not return to the mat next season and wrestling in separate weight classes were strong selling points for both Nemec and Sponseller.

“Despite the fact that they competed against each other their senior year, they knew we knew they would separate weight classes,” Ryan said. “It’s a really healthy situation when two guys can work with each other and challenge each other and grow.”

Sponseller said, “It kind of goes from two extremes: You go from competitors to really friends.”

Nemec and Sponseller have been drill partners for the majority of their college careers. Sponseller said they worked out religiously together their freshman and sophomore years.

Nemec said Sponseller’s strong cardio and ability to wrestle for a long period of time has helped him in his conditioning and has made him a better wrestler.

“That’s someone to push me out of my comfort zone and really burn my lungs up,” Nemec said. “He helped me the most with that.”

Nemec has helped Sponseller become a better wrestler, too. Sponseller credits Nemec for being one of the best technical wrestlers he has seen.

a shame to have a talented athlete that’s a person that’s not committed to doing the quality of work that’s needed to bring out the best of their talent,” Dennis said.

Manning said she hopes to continue to train after college and reach higher levels of competition.

“In everything I do, I wanna be the best at it,” Manning said. “I have to build up. I know it’s like starting over, but I feel like I could get to a point where I could be a great athlete after college.”

Dennis said she is thrilled at the successes of the team this year but that her biggest thrill is seeing the type of athlete Manning has become.

“My role as a coach is to find the sparkle, the diamond that’s inside each of these women, and polish it so they can shine,” Dennis said. “I think that each year Christina gets closer to developing into what I call an elite and a national-caliber athlete.”

Manning and several teammates will compete at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas, on Friday and Saturday.

“He has a lot of stuff a lot of people don’t have,” Sponseller said. “He throws a lot of things that I don’t see every day at me, and it’s good. It helps me improve.”

Sponseller has had a career full of success at OSU, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament twice, including this year with his runner-up finish Sunday at the Big Ten Tournament.

Ryan called Sponseller “a rock” of the team.

“One guy, in Colt, has been a rock here,” Ryan said. “His work ethic, foundation to the program … his desire.”

Nemec’s career, however, has been plagued by injury. He will not return for his senior season, having to undergo a second shoulder surgery that will keep him out of action next season. He will graduate winter 2012.

“He’s had a career of injuries,” Ryan said. “It’s been a rough road for Nemec. I don’t think four years from when we met Sean, and recruited Sean, we felt we’d be in this situation.”

Ryan said it has been great having both athletes on his team. He said Nemec and Sponseller still would both be with the team next season, helping out in the gym and continuing to lead.
