thelantern Hot dog vendors sue OSU Workers who operate Boss Doggs stands say pay deducted for breaks they didn’t take RACHEL JACKLIN Lantern reporter jacklin.5@osu.edu Former and current employees of Boss Doggs hot dog stands have sued Ohio State, claiming the university deducted pay from their checks for breaks they never took. Dylan Pierce, Gary Thomas and Matthew Nord claim that OSU did not properly compensate them for their ÿve-day-aweek, eight-and-a-half-hour shifts. Starting in March 2007, OSU automatically deducted a half hour a day from their paychecks for break time. However, the vendors said they never left their stands except to use the restroom. Now they are seeking back wages, attorney’s fees, prejudgment interest and damages of two times the minimum wages denied to them. The attorney for the men, Edward R. Forman, said the exact amount they are asking for is uncertain because a three-year statute of limitations applies to the lawsuit, which was ÿled April 12. “About $50 a week for the last several years would be accurate,” Forman said. “Around what they would have made had a break not been taken out.”

Holstein dairy cow #222 from OSU’s Waterman Dairy Farm licks his nose. Holstein dairy cows average 1,500 pounds.

Students will not be seeing spots for much longer at Ohio State’s Waterman Dairy Farm. The farm, which houses both the larger Holstein dairy cows, spotted black and white, and the smaller, brown Jersey dairy cows, has begun the transition to an all-Jersey dairy cow farm. The discussion to have OSU’s Waterman Dairy Farm become a Jersey farm started in June 2009 and has elicited mixed reactions. “The Holsteins leaving OSU Waterman Dairy Farm is sad in some ways but makes complete sense for the current situation being faced by the farm,” said Jason Hartschuh, the vice president of OSU’s Buckeye Dairy Club. Holsteins have always been part of the farm, just as farming has always been a part of OSU, which was originally named the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College. The opportunity to research Holsteins, the most popular breed of dairy cow, will no longer exist for those at OSU’s main

campus. However, the OSU Agricultural Technology Institute at Wooster does have a herd of Holsteins, Harschuh said in an e-mail. The size difference and food consumption of each breed weighed heavily on the decision to become a Jersey farm. On average, a Holstein weighs 1,500 pounds, and the average Jersey weighs 900 pounds. Usually, dairy cows eat 4 percent of their body weight a day, which makes it more affordable to feed and keep Jerseys, said Reagan Bluel, a manager of the farm. To cut costs, the Holsteins are being sold to the state prison system. “There are very few dairy farms that are in expansion mode right now, and the prison system is,” Bluel said. The farm had been looking for buyers, and the prison system was the only organization that offered to purchase all the Holsteins. The state prison system paid a competitive market price for the 157 Holsteins, Bluel said. The competitive market price

With fewer April showers, trees and ° owers brought a more potent allergy season. “It’s kind of like a perfect storm in terms of pollen,” said Charity Fox, an allergist at the Ohio State Medical Center. The increase in pollen comes from the warm, dry April. Rainy springs wash pollen from the air and cause plants to release less pollen. In years past, wild violets along campus paths have waited until April 8 or April 10 to weed their way out of the ground. This year, the early ones were out in time for April Fools’ Day. This year’s allergy season is part of a trend of spring arriving sooner, causing trees and ° owers to bloom and come out a week to 10 days earlier. “We’ve seen a shift to longer growing seasons, which means more pollen,” Fox said. “There’s a whole host of factors that make us feel worse,” she said. One main factor was climate change. Climate change has led to longer and more intense allergy seasons, according to an OSU study on climate change and allergies from September 2008.

Air pollution ampliÿes allergies. Carbon dioxide is great for plants but bad for people. Warm air and carbon dioxide help plants, such as ragweed, grow faster. Pollution makes people’s airways more responsive to pollen, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Faster growing plants and longer growing seasons lead to more pollen, creating a vicious cycle. Allergens, things triggering allergic responses, are a case of mistaken identity. The body creates antibodies, which usually kill parasites, to ÿght harmless things, such as dust and pollen. This process leads to allergic reactions that often mimic cold symptoms, Fox said. “When the antibody attaches to the pollen grain, the whole rest of the system goes. The antibodies hear ‘let’s roll,’ and you get all of the response you would get if you were defending against a cold virus,” she said. Spring’s tree pollen was high, according to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology website, which gives day-to-day pollen reports. Mulberry, oak and willow trees were the top three culprits. The website gives tips to help cope with allergy season. After going for a jog or hanging out at the Oval, taking a shower can wash off pollen and ÿght allergies.

The South Oval was a sea of pink Saturday as about 400 people came out to participate in Scarlet, Gray and Pink, a walk to honor the late Stefanie Spielman and raise breast cancer awareness. With Stefanie’s husband and former Ohio State football player Chris Spielman, his daughters and Stefanie’s mother leading the way, the walk began through a pink-and-white balloon archway in the South Oval, then took a one-mile loop around the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library and through the Oval. It ended at the Ohio Union West Plaza, where a Resource Fair provided participants with free food, drinks and information on organizations devoted to raising awareness for breast cancer. Before the walk began, Chris Spielman spoke to the crowd and said he was humbled at the turnout, mentioning that one of the greatest things people can give is their time. “What [Stefanie] was able to do — to take something that’s private and personal and make it public — I think people saw her as a sign of hope, and they want to be a part of that,” Spielman said. President E. Gordon Gee was also on hand to speak to the walkers, in addition to Athletic Director Gene Smith and Dr. Charles Shapiro, director of the breast cancer program for the Division of Hematology and

Gee, sporting a pink baseball cap and apologizing for not wearing a pink bowtie, expressed his hopes that researchers at the James Cancer Hospital would ÿnd a cure for cancer. “We’re going to put [cancer] in a headlock and get rid of the damn thing,” Gee said. Participation in the walk was $10 for OSU students and children under 18, and $20 for non-OSU students and adults. The walk raised about $6,300 for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research, said

Those jerseys will eventually be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. Before Spielman died, she and her husband Chris, former OSU football player and professional football player, used their public name to raise awareness for breast cancer research. They established the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research at the OSU Comprehensive Cancer — Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Since then, they have raised more than $6.5 million for breast cancer research. That number will continue

Since Spielman was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, the Ohio Union has typically sponsored an event every year raising breast cancer awareness in her honor, said Christine Wernery, student coordinator for the event and member of the Ohio Union Major Campus Events Committee, which planned the walk. However, Spielman passed away in November 2009, prompting a new challenge in ÿguring out how to organize the walk

Boss Doggs lawsuit

says OSU did not investigate worker claims OSU took control of Boss Doggs in March 2007, making the workers OSU employees. Before that, Nord had been selling hot dogs on campus out of an independently owned stand since 2004. After OSU purchased the company, Thomas began working a second stand, and in April 2008, Pierce handled a third one. Beginning in March 2007, the university started taking the break-time money out of their paychecks automatically, as it does to other university employees with jobs of a similar nature. But the Boss Doggs employees say they never actually took breaks. From 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and additional hours on football Saturdays, Pierce, Thomas and Nord were expected to manage their stands except when leaving to use the restroom, according to the lawsuit. Their inventory and money could never be left unattended. For the majority of the day, they worked alone and had to trust passing students to watch their stands when they needed to use the restroom. The men complained to their managers about the issue and in Autumn 2009, OSU shut down two of the stands and eventually transferred Pierce and Nord to other university jobs. At this time, the university began giving the Boss Dog vendor a 30-minute break. But it refused to compensate them for the back wages. The lawsuit said OSU never investigated their complaints, and in December 2009, the union representing the men ÿled a union grievance on their behalf. However, OSU and the union could not reach an agreement. Finally, Pierce, Thomas and Nord ÿled the lawsuit seeking compensation for lost hours at either their hourly rate of about $12.50 to $14.50 or at an overtime rate of one-and-a-half times their base wage.

They are claiming overtime pay because they were working more than 40 hours per week, they said. “It is not Ohio State’s policy to discuss the speciÿcs of pending litigation,” said Jim Lynch, director of OSU Media Relations, in an e-mail. “However, the university expects that once the facts are known by the court, the administrative actions and decisions of the university will be upheld.” Thomas, who greets his customers with a friendly “Hey, how you doin’?,” is not accustomed to waging a legal battle. “This is the ÿrst time I’ve ever been involved in something like this,” said Thomas, who students might recognize as the vendor with the gray, bushy moustache. “It’s nothing against OSU. I don’t have a problem with anybody. I’m just much in support of the other two guys who feel more strongly about it than I do.” Thomas operates the remaining hot dog stand outside University Hall, and Nord is now employed at Pizza at the Drake. Pierce works for Sloopy’s Diner in the Union. “A mistake has been made on behalf of Boss Doggs,” Pierce said in an e-mail. “I’m sure you would have occasionally seen one of us striking a conversation with a student when things were slow, but that was not a half hour to ourselves. “Don’t get me wrong, for the most part the three of us would be happy to serve you. All we are asking is to be paid what the law says it should.” Nord could not be reached for comment. Forman said his clients are merely trying to get back what they are owed. “It bothers me,” Forman said. “It’s not like they’re taking $50 out of [President E. Gordon] Gee’s check each week.”

for dairy cows is always changing and depends on the cow’s pedigree, age and weight, but the average price for a Holstein is $1,200 to $1,600, said Rich Hothem, a dairy farmer from eastern Ohio. A cow that is two years or older is worth more than a heifer, a cow younger than two years. Twenty-two months to 2 years is the age when most cows can ÿrst give milk. The price is less for cows that are too young, which account for 86 of the Holsteins the farm has left. Six of the Holsteins the farm had left were dry cows, cows that can give milk but are not being milked because they are close to giving birth. Sixty-ÿve lactating Holsteins were still at the farm Friday. The plan is to remove eight lactating Holsteins a day starting today, Bluel said.

Looking ahead, Bluel said the farm has three goals: to teach dairy farming, provide research opportunities and outreach to people who would not be able to experience farm life. And the decision to become a Jersey farm allows the farm to meet these goals. The plan is to have about 100 Jerseys producing milk, she said. To be sure, Bluel did not make the decision for the farm to be solely Jersey, but she likes managing either breed, she said. A Jersey’s and a Holstein’s milk production are noticeably different. “While Holsteins produce more milk by volume, Jerseys produce what the dairy industry calls more valuable milk,” said Kevin Jacque, a student employee at the farm. The milk is considered more valuable because it is high in fat

and can be used to make other foods, such as cheese and ice cream. Also, the cows’ personalities can be different. Jerseys are more curious, and Holsteins are more laid-back, Jacque said in an e-mail. Waterman Dairy Farm has tried to be self-sufÿcient in feeding its animals. The farm has produced all the corn silage, the extra part of the corn people do not eat, which makes up 60 percent of a cow’s diet, said professor Maurice Eastridge, adviser to the Buckeye Dairy Club. The other 40 percent of a cow’s diet is made up of alfalfa hay and grain, food that the farm has to buy. Another cost is changing the stalls to accommodate Jerseys, Eastridge said. Loss of money from Holstein organizations is a concern. “From a research perspective, it may be a little more challenging for us to get some grants from dairy companies,” he said.

Male plants release pollen, which is used for reproduction, said Rebecca Lamb, an assistant professor in OSU’s Department of Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology. Some plants, such as trees, release their pollen into the wind. Other plants rely on birds and bees to carry their pollen. The pollen carries the plant sperm to its ÿ nal destination.

The concern is whether the industry will provide money for a Jersey farm as easily as it would for a Holstein farm. This is not the ÿrst time the farm has cut breeds of dairy cows from its program. When Eastridge came to OSU in 1986, there were ÿve breeds of dairy cows: Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss and Ayrshire. Shortly after he arrived, the farm got rid of all but the Holstein and Jersey breeds. “After that,” he said, “we had the two breeds until this last decision.” The last decision took many things into consideration. “It was primarily driven by the feed supply needed, the economic situation with the price of milk, and then trying to provide some overall efÿciency by having a single breed,” he said. The farm is located at 2433 Carmack Road, which is west of campus off Lane Avenue.

Pollen is covered in a protective wall. People are usually allergic to the proteins in the pollen wall, said Lamb, who is allergic to ragweed and oak. There will be a “weed walk” around campus Friday afternoon looking at the different allergy-causing plants. For more information, call 293-4062.

becomes meaningless without being whole, so do one’s dreams if compromised because of doubt, Ellis said. His point didn’t appear to be missed by those in attendance. Ellis was the keynote speaker of Thursday’s 2010 Blueprint:College Kick-off Dinner at South Mif° in STEM elementary school. Ellis, a 2008 Ohio State alumnus, is the public affairs director for Radio One in Columbus. Ellis’ theme was dreams, and how kids should never allow others to de° ate theirs. After announcing his own dream to become mayor of Columbus in 15 years, Ellis chose some volunteers to share their 15-year visions. One student received a standing ovation when she said in a very soft-spoken tone that she wants to travel to Africa to do humanitarian work. A younger student received a similar reception when she said she wants to be a scientist. The young audience members were elementary students from eight Columbus City Schools in the Linden area. Their family members were there to hear about how the Blueprint program can turn dreams of college into a reality for their children. Blueprint:College is a

program for low-income families to create a “blueprint” for future academic and college success for their kids. This is the third year for the program, which has served more than 140 families since 2008, said Amy Wade, assistant director of Early College Outreach at OSU. This year, 75 families are expected to be served, Wade said. Elementary school students and their families will attend ÿve weekly sessions. Students take part in “College Camp” while their family members attend workshops. The workshops include the beneÿts of a college education, college prep curriculum, the application process, ÿnancial aid and even adult education, according to the program’s website. “College Camp” is hosted by OSU student facilitators who lead students through activities that mirror what their family members experience in the workshops, but in an age-appropriate version, Wade said. For example, if a guest speaker talked to adults about savings accounts, students would create “piggy” banks with facilitators, she said. The program offers dinner before each workshop, as well

as bus transportation and child care, according to a media release. Wade said she believes these are vital services. “Many of the families we work with experience food insecurity and are transient,” Wade said. She admitted that it is a challenge for her and the program to keep families motivated under such conditions. “Sometimes it’s simply impossible to see beyond one’s present circumstances,” Wade said in an e-mail. Overcoming barriers is something Danielle Orr has personal experience with. Orr, a third-year in criminology at OSU and a Columbus City Schools graduate, is in her second year as a student facilitator with the Blueprint:College Program. As one of the ÿrst in her family to graduate high school, Orr said she didn’t think college was realistic until her senior guidance counselor at Beechcroft High School helped her realize her goal. “This is why the Blueprint:College Program is so important to me,” Orr said. “Kids should not feel discouraged about going to college due to not having someone to turn to when they have questions.”

As a result, Orr said she hopes to “provide my students the conÿdence to attend college.” The Blueprint program is not only beneÿcial to participating families. Wade said OSU student facilitators beneÿt from the partnership, as well. They build skills in classroom management, successfully entering communities, interacting with diverse populations and being positive role models, Wade said. She said the most important thing, however, is that students “often become very passionate about the social justice issue of access to education in the process. They become lifelong advocates for educational access.” Jaylen Boyd said he doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. As a kindergartener at South Mif° in STEM, he has some time to decide, but that hasn’t stopped his mom, Nicole Boyd, from getting involved with the Blueprint:College Program. The mantra for the Kick-Off Dinner seemed to be, “It’s never too early to start planning for college.” The Boyds’ participation is proof of that.

student voice Your pet pooch is more than a pick-up pal MANAGING Editor

When Spring Quarter rolls around, so do dogs on the Oval. And I couldn’t help but wonder: Why do college students spend time and money on canine companions? Our schedules are likely filled with classes, homework, a job, parties, time at the gym. So there must be a reason for all the time spent poop scooping. And the majority of college students live on a tight budget, eating Ramen noodles, Easy Mac KRISTA HENNECK and free food at campus events. So henneck.1@osu.edu there must be a reason to spend that last buck on Kibbles ‘n Bits instead of tickets to a concert, a drink at the bar or a meal at a nice restaurant. Maybe college students need someone to keep the monsters away at night. Maybe they want a resume builder to prove they can handle responsibility. Or maybe they just enjoy the smell of dog breath. But one reason seems to trump them all — to attract the opposite sex. I imagine that for guys, the fantasy goes something like this:

“

Guys: If a girl approaches you on the Oval, she’s probably more interested in your dog. And wouldn’t you rather have a girl’s attention for yourself? Let’s face it: Fido’s not wingman material.

”

Wearing nothing but a bikini, a hot girl lies on a beach blanket, soaking up the sun’s rays on the Oval. She sits up for a second to apply more tanning oil to her legs, when, suddenly, something catches her attention. It’s a puppy, leaping and yipping at the feet of his handsome owner. Her long hair blowing in the wind, she thinks to herself, “Aw, what a compassionate guy. He must be responsible and caring, playful and loyal. I’d really like to go pet his puppy. And then have sex with him.” For girls, the fantasy is probably a bit different. Perhaps it goes something like this: A cute guy is strolling down the sidewalk, about to pass a tiny furball

on a leash, when, suddenly, the creature crosses his path. Its leash becomes tangled in the gentleman’s legs. “Sorry about that,” the dog owner says, blushing with a giggle. “He seems to like you.” “Not a problem,” says the gallant gentleman, unwinding the leash from his legs. He hands it over to her, his hand gently grazing hers. Then their eyes meet. It’s destiny. But here’s the reality. Guys: If a girl approaches you on the Oval, she’s probably more interested in your dog. And wouldn’t you rather have a girl’s attention for yourself? Let’s face it: Fido’s not wingman material. After all, he’s the one giving her slobbery kisses on the Oval, not you. And how can you compete with those glistening eyes, that happy-go-lucky tail and the best “move” in the book — rolling over for a belly rub. Girls: Getting tangled in a dog’s leash is a pain in the you-knowwhat. What happens if your dream guy trips over the leash, breaks his kneecap and sues you before he can ever take you out on a date? And how do you know your furry friend won’t choose a so-called “creeper?” Wouldn’t you rather be the one making selection decisions than the one making up excuses to flee the scene? So if you own a dog for the canine companionship, that’s one thing. But don’t use a dog to pursue your unrealistic fantasies. Chances are reality will sink in pretty quickly. The truth is: Fido would rather fetch you a Frisbee than a date for Friday night.

Letter from a Browns fan: Big Ben has got to grow up Plagued by accusations of off-field antics, Roethlisberger is risking reputation as Findlay’s humble hometown hero LANTERN Columnist BRAD MILLER miller.4410@osu.edu

Dear Ben, I have rooted against you your entire professional career. Being a lifelong Browns fan, my disdain for the Pittsburgh Steelers instinctively runs deep. But while I have not been your biggest supporter on the field, it was never my intention to extend those negative feelings off it. You have the kind of background that naturally leads people, including myself, to offer support. Instead of attending a giant, private football academy, you emerged from a small, public high school in Findlay, Ohio. After a successful high school career, you again chose to go small, deciding to play for the Miami Redhawks of the Mid-American Conference.

Your stellar career in Oxford led the Steelers to draft you in the first round in 2004. The boy who was born and raised in Findlay had made it to the National Football League. Having grown up within an hour of the city, I know how big of a deal it was to see someone like you go pro, a feat not common in the area. The only thing you did wrong, in my eyes at least, was be drafted by Pittsburgh, something you had no control over. In fact, had you been drafted by almost any other team in the league, I surely would have supported you. Still, my negative attitude toward you was solely based on your jersey colors and not anything directly related to you as an individual. But since then, your behavior off the field has been anything but divine. You were severely injured and nearly killed in 2006 when the motorcycle you were riding — without a helmet and well over the speed limit — crashed into an oncoming car in downtown Pittsburgh. More recently, allegations have swirled regarding your sexual aggression, leading to accusations of assault in Lake Tahoe, Nev., and Milledgeville, Ga. You were not charged in either situation, though the latter earned you a six-game, unpaid

suspension at the start of the 2010 season. Despite never being charged, I find it hard to believe that you are entirely free from blame. It is sometimes easy to dismiss one person’s allegations, but that task becomes increasingly difficult when it happens multiple times. If nothing else, you are guilty of being immature. Your performance in real life, at least recently, has failed to resemble your accomplishments in football. Your headlines used to include words like “Super Bowl” and “Victory.” Now they include “Suspension” and “Scandal.” For the sake of all involved, I hope you are not guilty of the allegations against you. But even if you are innocent, Commissioner Roger Goodell is right for handing down this suspension. Hopefully it will open your eyes to the consequences of your actions. Everyone can cheer for the “Ben Roethlisberger from Findlay.” But when we see news of assault allegations, we can only shake our heads in disappointment. Sincerely, A Browns Fan

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who has been accused of sexual harassment, reacts to a play against the Baltimore Ravens in the first half of their game in Baltimore on Nov. 29, 2009.

Corporal punishment? Not in class LANTERN Columnist TANIJA SMOOT smoot.43@osu.edu Imagine you are sitting in a large lecture hall. You are goofing off, disturbing the class. You don’t think that the professor is paying attention to you until you are unexpectedly whacked with a paddle. You are humiliated in front of hundreds of your peers. This is the reality that students face in Temple, Texas. Last May, the small town lifted a ban on the old-school tradition of paddling, at the request of parents from the school district. In an age where students have become disruptive, argumentative and disrespectful toward their authoritarians, some parents saw this revival as a good move on Temple’s part. Now, nearly a year later, this revival has started to make headlines as protesters speak out against physical punishment in the school system. Despite the criticism recently directed at Temple, the parents claim that lifting the ban has improved the behavior of students. Proponents of school spankings insist that physically

disciplining the students will instill a sense of fear, thus forcing students to behave properly. Historically speaking, this statement is correct to a certain extent. Power and threats of physical disciplining have been effective in controlling the masses. By the same token, however, these threats have also created rebellion and chaotic revolution. While some students may react positively to spankings, some may rebel even more. Instead of transforming into model students, some children may misbehave even more, perhaps for revenge. This could create an even more disruptive and unruly school environment, one that could easily by eliminating school paddling altogether. In my opinion, the administration of spankings and physical disciplines should be at the discretion of the parent, not the teacher or principal. Growing up, I was raised by old-school parents. Belts and spankings were not unheard of, particularly in the African-American community. When a child acted out, it was either the parent or a close family friend who disciplined the child, not a teacher. In the case of Temple, these parents should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of owning up to their responsibilities by disciplining their own children, these parents displayed their laziness by dumping their parental responsibilities onto the laps of teachers. Teachers are there to educate students, not raise children who are not their own.

Tale of a Playboy tryout JANEL BROWN Daily Evergreen (Wash.) UWire

Should teachers use corporal punishment? Comment at

When it comes to pickup lines, I’ve got a winner. “This one time in college, I auditioned for Playboy.” What’s so great about it is it’s truly and completely out of character. I’m a self-proclaimed nerd. I named my cat after a Harry Potter character. No one, including me, would ever expect me to do such a thing as audition to pose naked in a nationally acclaimed magazine. Yet, somehow, there I was, standing in front of a photographer with no clothes on. But let’s go back to the beginning. It all started when I began covering the Playboy Campus Representative program. During an interview about the program, I was told that the magazine would be doing a “Girls of the Pac 10” issue and would be visiting in the spring to hold auditions. I immediately called dibs on the story. All I wanted to do was cover the story, but then one of my editors told me I should do the audition and write a column as well. I laughed at her. Then, I thought about it some more and decided it actually sounded like a lot of fun. I had already been on a weight-loss journey, why not add self-discovery to the mix? So I signed myself up. Then I began the pre-Playboy audition process. This includes hiring a personal trainer to work on toning up, tanning to emphasize my unique mix of a racial background, and, of course, waxing. It was not cheap, but when I showed up at the audition, I was feeling pretty good about myself. I’m not going to lie, I was nervous, but I was confident in how I looked, and that led to more confidence in how I felt. So when the photographer, who was nicer than nice and also really cute, told me to take it off, I did. The auditions were tons of fun. The Playboy people and the other girls were all really nice, and we got to jump on a bed. I haven’t jumped on a bed since I was a kid! The auditions consisted of a personal photo shoot, ranging from in my undies down to completely naked. A colleague and I did the shoot together for moral support. So not only did I strip down in front of the photographer, I also got naked in front of a girl that I have to see and work with. Then we jumped on a bed. Together. Naked. And had a blast. All in all, I’m glad that I did it. I would absolutely love to be picked, but even if I’m not, I can at least say that I had the confidence to show up and try. And that’s good enough for me.

Comedian Steve Hofstetter is giving away up to 1 million free downloads of his comedy album “The Dark Side of the Room.” When it was released in 2008, Hofstetter allowed customers to pay whatever they wanted for it. “It’s amazing, if you give people the option of being good human beings, they usually take it,” Hofstetter said. “I made way more money with pay-what-you-want than I would have through a distributor and royalties.” Pricing options ranged from one penny, under a “you may as well steal it” heading, to the “big tipper” price of $100. Hofstetter was the first comedian to sell a pay-what-you-want album and the second artist, overall. Many others have since followed suit. Hofstetter joined his school’s improv troupe when he was 13 years old because a cute girl told him to. “I never got the girl, but I got much more in the end,” he said. Despite an early interest in comedy, Hofstetter didn’t try standup comedy until his senior year of college. “I just wanted to try it once. Like bungee jumping,” he said. And it would be nine more months before he hit the stage again. Instead, Hofstetter spread his comedy via weekly e-mail forwards to a group of friends, which led to his breakthrough with collegehumor.com. At that point the now hugely popular website had just three employees and no writing section. “I contacted them to syndicate my e-mails as a column. Nine other websites declined or ignored my e-mail,” Hofstetter said. But the position of original writer for collegehumor.com was not a paying job. After graduating from Columbia University in New York, Hofstetter worked as a copy editor for a business magazine and at the front desk of an inn while writing his first book. With the power of his growing collegehumor.com fan base, Hofstetter published “Student Body Shots” on his own. Covering the ins and outs of college life, the book was

a continuation of his collegehumor. com column and led to his second book, “Student Body Shots: Another Round.” On a trip to North Carolina to promote his first book, Hofstetter performed a comedy set in a bookstore. It was life-changing. “I realized I liked stand-up much better than book-promoting,” he said. He quit his desk job in New York and began working full-time to be a successful comedian. “You work so much harder when you work for yourself,” he said. In a comedy world full of low-brow humor, Hofstetter quickly distinguished himself as “the thinking man’s comic.” But earning national popularity took the power of the Internet. Hofstetter was the first Facebook user to have 200,000 friends, and by using other social networking websites similarly, he got free national exposure. As an established digital pioneer, Hofstetter believes that services such as Facebook and YouTube are good for society, as he explained in the following interview: Q: Do you think Facebook encourages impersonal friendships? A: That’s silly. That’s like saying hand written letters are impersonal. If you’re using it to replace human contact, that’s your fault. Facebook is great for starting relationships and I use it to further them. Q: What are your thoughts on the Internet allowing any Joe Schmoe with a webcam to become an Internet artist and contribute comedic content? A: I think it’s great. The schmoes who become overnight successes also become overnight failures if they try to do something else. Only the true talents rise to the top. The Internet has made art truly democratic. Back in the day only executives in suits determined what went on the air and thus what was popular. Now everyone gets to decide. Q: What are your thoughts on file-sharing services and people stealing your work? A: I’m not against them. The more stuff spreads online, the more people buy stuff. If you’re only making money on albums it means you’re a bad live performer and then who cares about the albums? I would rather give away

After self-recording his first album, “Tastes Like Bliss,” Hofstetter began writing a sports humor column for Sports Illustrated. That job helped him pitch an idea to National Lampoon Radio to do a daily minute of sports jokes on the radio, which he still does. As an established author and

radio host, Hofstetter released his first official comedy album called “Cure For the Cable Guy,” which reached No. 20 on the Billboard charts. “There are two ways to succeed in this business,” Hofstetter said. “Either somebody sees your act and decides to put you on television or you have enough fans that come to shows that

At the side of the stage is a plastic fishbowl. People gather around to put in topics such as, “things overheard in the bathroom” and “the weirdest pillow talk.” These are the audience’s ideas, and they’re going to be performed on the spot. The result is a theater work with spontaneous comedic scenes created by eight Ohio State students. They are collectively known as Fishbowl Improv. They are a new improv group directly affiliated with OSU. Fishbowl has only performed five shows since its first in the winter 2010. The shows are high-energy and fast-paced. There is little time for performers to think about what and how to perform. Each player takes an idea from the audience and tries to make it work as quickly as possible. Darius Mousavi, a third-year in theater and co-founder of the group, described his enjoyment with the shows. “It’s fun and creative,” he said. “I look forward to rehearsal because it’s different every time. And then you look back on it and you realize you were wrestling with a mermaid in a whale’s stomach. It’s the craziest stuff, and you feel like a kid again.” There is no set or props. Scenes quickly change from scenarios such as an adulterer trying to kick out a sexual partner to another scenario where a man is being hunted by dinosaurs. Shows consist of multiple short games with rules the players follow while taking a scene set from the audience. Every show has a different list of games. One game, Half Life, has the players perform a scene in one minute. Then,

the group performs the same scene the best they can in 30 seconds, then 15 seconds, then seven seconds, then three seconds. Their first four shows were in Morrill Tower and their latest show was in the Royer Student Activities Center. Fishbowl’s last show had about 80 people attend. More than half the audience was seeing the group for the first time. Alex Lefeld, a third-year in theater and co-founder and president of Fishbowl Improv, said the group has made connections outside OSU. Superfly Productions, in charge of events such as Bonnaroo, a music and arts festival in Tennessee, contacted Lefeld. The performers were asked to advertise the Adult Swim Block Party that occurred in Columbus on Saturday. Both Mousavi and Lefeld said they were surprised by the progress of the group, especially when they were interested in another group before. About half of Fishbowl originally auditioned for 8th Floor Improv in the fall of 2009, but after not getting in, they created Fishbowl. Lefeld said by the end of winter 2010, Fishbowl was the group everyone involved wanted it to be. Eighth Floor Improv was formed in 2004. The group performs a large show every other Friday at Woody’s Tavern, and smaller shows periodically at OSU residence halls. Brittany Belland, a second-year in psychology and theatre and member of 8th Floor, said many members from both improv groups see the other’s works. She said there was an “unspoken support” between the groups, which are the only two improv groups on campus. “I think they’re a bunch of incredibly talented people, and I wish I could join their team and play with them,” Belland said about Fishbowl Improv. Belland and Lefeld said both groups are in talks about a collaborated show next year. However, Lefeld is more interested in strengthening Fishbowl first. “Right now we’re trying to expand with our OSU audience,” Lefeld said.

Hole digs themselves out of past issues ryan book Arts Editor book.15@osu.edu Hole fans from the band’s heyday might be disappointed. That’s not to say the album is bad. In fact, those who disliked the group’s 90’s albums might want to give “Nobody’s Daughter” a shot because the difference is dramatic. Whether it was her several stints in rehab in the 12 years since the band released an album or maybe just because she’s now 45 years old, vocalist Courtney Love opted to switch musical gears. Most of the album is strongly acoustic, a change in pace from Hole’s previous grungy punk approach. Original guitarist Eric Erlandson did not return, allowing for

the new dynamic. Bassist Melissa Auf der Maur returns however. For the most part, the approach works. Love’s voice is as raw as ever and conveys the same angstdriven appeal, merely with different instrumental backing. The tracks “Someone Else’s Bed” and “Pacific Coast Highway” feel heartfelt and inspire empathy in the listener. The biggest disappointment is the album’s first single, “Skinny Little Bitch.” It is one of the few tracks molded in Hole’s former image, and its crass approach clashes with the album’s mature themes. However, the track “Loser Dust” gets back to Hole’s punk roots without the high school theatrics. Overall, Love transitions into the new style nicely. It should help alter her recent public image as a floozy has-been.

arts&life Columbus draws crowd to pitch in on Earth Day effort ZacH JoneS Lantern reporter jones.2992@osu.edu Following a weekend of community service, the efforts of thousands of volunteers culminated Thursday with an Earth Day Celebration festival at Franklin Park Conservatory. The first Earth Day was designed as a protest, but it has since become a day for embracing environmental initiatives and cleaning up the community. Approaching the conservatory, music could be heard from two stages as the smell of local vegetarian cuisine filled the air. The main stage featured a variety of local bands and a list of featured speakers that tentatively included Mayor Michael Coleman and Gov. Ted Strickland. The paths outside the conservatory were taped off and riddled with booths featuring a variety of environmental activists, educational causes and local businesses. The community stage included family-oriented entertainment, including musical presentations, improvisational comedy and an “Upcycled Fashion Show” featuring recycled clothing. “Other than the jazz and ribs festival in the

Though he has personally accepted more than 500,000 friend requests on social networking sites, he believes in a “1,000 fan theory” that says a comedian only needs 1,000 truly dedicated fans to succeed. One of the hardest working men in entertainment, Hofstetter is on a 14-day stretch in which he is performing 18 shows. Those will contribute to the more than 100 college shows he does per year. Despite having more fans, more critics and more problems unique to comedians, Hofstetter vows to stick to his roots. Q: Many comedians stop stand-up for more lucrative network television shows or Hollywood. Is such super-stardom something you strive for? A: I’m a fairly private person and there are plenty of famous people whose lives aren’t scrutinized. I

summer, this is my favorite event of the year in Columbus,” said volunteer Greg Jennings, 32. “There really is something for everyone here, even if you aren’t the biggest environmental activist.” Signs around the paths listed statistics about energy conservation. One read, “If every person in the United States filled their car tires, national gas use would be reduced by 2 percent.” Green Columbus and Keep Columbus Beautiful partnered to engage 10,000 volunteers in the 40th anniversary of Earth Day through a two-part, threeday event. The week began with a cleanup project in which the volunteers cleaned up more than a dozen sites around Columbus on April 17 and 18. Volunteers worked in shifts of two and four hours to plant trees, clean streams, remove invasive species and participate in other projects designed to improve Columbus and surrounding communities. Additional volunteers helped set up, run and clean up the daylong celebration on Earth Day. Some booths provided pamphlets detailing the cause. Others had petitions and volunteer sign-ups for local causes. “There has been a growing need and interest around Ohio for renewable energy sources like solar and wind power,” said Jason Salzgeber of Third Sun Solar and Wind Power. “We can teach people about the solar panels and install them in their homes.”

want my work to get as much exposure as possible but I don’t necessarily have to be the face behind it. I just optioned a script for a movie that I may not even be in, but as long as my baby makes it to film, great. Q: If you reach new mediums like film, would you stop with stand-up? A: No, it’s too much fun. Stand-up is who I am. I love the live show and I’m not going to stop doing small venues either. Q: Which of your albums are you most pleased with? A: I really like my newest album “Steve Hofstetter’s Day Off” because it’s 100 percent ad-lib and I’m proud that I can do that. But my favorite album is “Dark Side of the Room” because it’s the best representation of my act right now. Q: What are your thoughts on planned versus impromptu comedy? A: All of comedy is the illusion of spontaneity. I get very tired of doing some of my bits and I don’t want to be the comic known for a particular bit. I even told a girl in the crowd once who asked me to do a famous bit of mine that I was not her jukebox. Often on slow Sunday nights I do entirely ad-lib

shows and the fans come expecting to be part of it. My rule is that I can’t say anything I’ve written ahead of time. Q: Are topical jokes a big part of your act? A: If there’s a really big story in the news I tend to stay away from it because everybody’s talking about it. I’m not doing any Tiger Woods jokes. Q: What is it like dealing with critics who may misinterpret or not understand your comedy? A: What frustrates me is the willingness of people who don’t create art to tear it down. I don’t mind being critiqued by people who know what they’re talking about, but a lot of comedy reviews are written by music critics. After I released “Dark Side,” iTunes named “Cure for the Cable Guy” the best comedy album in the last five years and it’s not even my favorite of the ones I’ve done. Q: Is it frustrating playing to an audience that is largely less intelligent than you? A: There are good and smart people everywhere, and I always play to the top of the room. Q: And how do you deal with the many audience members who disagree with your edgier social commentary? A: I try to present my opinions in a way that even

those who disagree with them can relate. If you disagree with me, that’s all right, I disagree with you. We’re even, relax. While some argue that stand-up comedy is a vain profession in which comics demand audiences to be attentive to them and their opinions, others say comics are altruistic because they bring tangible joy to people each time they work. Hofstetter is of the latter persuasion, as he reduces his price for gigs and has fun with charity events. “If people really want a sense of who I am, I want them to have a full album,” Hofstetter said. His pay-what-you-want album “Dark Side of the Room” is now completely free either at his website, stevehofstetter.com or at comedyoffers.com. Hofstetter has performed twice at Ohio State — first in 2003 at OSU’s Hillel Center and then at the old Ohio Union in 2004. Since then, his relationship with National Lampoon has led to the publication of his third book “Balls! A Sarcastic Guide to Sports.”

Quarterbacks shine as Gray tops Scarlet in Spring Game ZACK MEISEL Sports editor meisel.14@osu.edu The last time Ohio State took the ÿeld at the Horseshoe, a Rose Bowl berth was on the line. Much less was at stake Saturday when the Gray team defeated the Scarlet team 17-14 in the annual Spring Game. Taurian Washington accounted for both of the Gray team’s touchdowns, as quarterback Kenny Guiton connected with the receiver on a 45-yard gamewinning strike with 55 seconds remaining. “I just had to go to my moneymaker,” Guiton said about hooking up with Washington. “He got me ÿrst half, so I thought if I tried him a few times in the second half, he was going to come through again and he did.” The Scarlet team had one ÿnal chance at tying the game, but Devin Barclay’s 56-yard ÿeld goal attempt fell short. Both offenses showed sparks early and late, with little in between. After the Scarlet team failed to

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor answered right back with a swift, four-play drive that resulted in a 12-yard touchdown to Dane Sanzenbacher to even the score at 7-7. That score held until the fourth quarter, when freshman Drew

Guiton steals spring spotlight JOSHUA A. DAVIDSON Lantern reporter davidson.252@osu.edu While most of the attention in Ohio State’s Spring Game was focused on Terrelle Pryor, another Buckeye quarterback was making a name for himself. Freshman Kenny Guiton quarterbacked the Gray squad Saturday, showing poise late in the game. Down 14-10 with time running out, Guiton orchestrated an 89-yard game-winning drive highlighted by a touchdown pass to receiver Taurian Washington. “I just had to go to my moneymaker [Washington],” Guiton said. “I thought if I tried him a couple times in the second half he’d come through again and he did.” The touchdown was the second of the day for Guiton and Washington after they also connected for a score in the ÿrst half. Guiton’s solid play was a product of his development this spring and he could be moving up the depth chart this fall. The Houston native outdueled backup Joe Bauserman and may become Pryor’s backup this season. Guiton was the second quarterback selected in the draft in the Spring Game, ahead of Bauserman, which he recognized as an honor. “I think it said a lot from the seniors,” Guiton said. “The seniors got to pick the draft.

OSU names new men’s hockey coach TIM BIELIK Lantern reporter bielik.2@osu.edu After 15 seasons with John Markell as coach, the Ohio State men’s hockey team has a new man at the helm. Mark Osiecki, a former assistant with the University of Wisconsin, was hired as the eighth coach in team history on Saturday. Osiecki served the past six seasons as the top assistant to Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves, and

helped lead the team to the 2006 NCAA Championship and the NCAA Men’s Hockey Championship game in 2010. “It’s never easy to make a coaching change,” said associate athletic director Chris Schneider. “But it was time to make an appropriate change and there is excitement for a MARK OSIECKI new beginning.” Osiecki said he was excited when he learned Saturday that he had been hired.

“When the job opened, the Wisconsin athletic department told me to look into it and had good things to say about the Ohio State athletic department,” he said. Schneider said he was looking for a coach that could bring some sustained success to the hockey program. “We expect our programs to be competing regularly in the NCAA,” Schneider said. Osiecki gave credit to the previous regime for helping to build some of the tradition around the

Penn State pours on runs in rain-ﬁlled victory over OSU TIM BIELIK Lantern reporter bielik.2@osu.edu As rain fell consistently at Bill Davis Stadium, it was the road team that felt comfortable in the elements. The Penn State Nittany Lions used big hits and capitalized on shaky Ohio State pitching to cruise to a 14-6 win Sunday, winning the rubber match of a three-game series. Penn State (17-22, 4-8) scored three runs in the fourth off of consecutive errors by Buckeye inÿelders Tyler Engle and Cory Rupert and two RBI singles from ÿrst baseman Joey DeBernardis and left ÿelder Sean Deegan. “This is not the time of year to go into a slump and play bad baseball,” coach Bob Todd said. The Nittany Lions upped the lead to 4-0 after an RBI single from catcher Ben Heath. The Buckeyes (22-13, 7-5) failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position in the third and fourth innings. OSU got on the board in the bottom of the ÿfth on an RBI single from center ÿelder Michael Stephens to cut the deÿcit to 4-1. A Rupert home run in the bottom of the sixth made the score 4-2, when the game went into a 37-minute rain delay. Catcher Dan Burkhart sacriÿced home left ÿelder Zach Hurley in the seventh to make the score 4-3. Home runs from Heath and designated hitter Mario Eramo

pushed Penn State’s lead to 7-3 in the eighth. Penn State added four more runs off two RBI singles from outÿelders Elliot Searer and Steve Snyder and a Heath sacriÿce ° y to put the score at 11-3. This made it the fourth time in the last ÿve games that Ohio State has given up double-digit runs. “When you’re down by that much, it[‘s] like being in quicksand,” said left ÿelder Zach Hurley, who has a 12-game hitting streak. “The harder you ÿght, the quicker you sink.” The Nittany Lions added three more runs in the top of the ninth to make the score 14-3. The Buckeyes put three more runs of their own on the board to push the ÿnal to 14-6. Penn State starting pitcher Ryan Ignas lasted 5.1 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts. His counterpart, OSU pitcher Dean Wolosiansky, lasted seven innings and gave up seven runs on 10 hits, with six strikeouts. “He gave us seven good innings, and that’s all you can ask for,” Todd said. Wolosiansky pitched into the eighth inning, where he was pulled after giving up two home runs. “Dean said he felt ÿne and went back out in the seventh inning,” Todd said. “He just made three bad pitches.” “You can’t ask for a better job from Dean until the seventh,” Hurley said. OSU took the ÿrst game of the

The Buckeyes begin a threegame series Friday in Ann Arbor, Mich., to face the Michigan Wolverines in a battle for ÿrst place.

“We were looking for somebody who can believe in the direction we want to go, and take it to a level of consistent competition,” Schneider said. Osiecki said he knows several of the players from recruiting trips, including Peter Boyd and Sergio Somma, but will have to take some time to evaluate the roster before the 2010-2011 season starts. “The locker room is ÿlled with good players and I look forward to building on the tradition of the coaches who have come before me,” Osiecki said. Despite the departures of forward Zac Dalpe and

It didn’t take long for Osiecki to grasp OSU’s rivalry with Michigan. “Anytime you face Michigan, it’s a lot of fun,” Osiecki said. “It’s our job to make sure we’re prepared for that.”

Ohio State

kicks off 2010 regular season against Marshall Pryor only played the ÿrst quarter as he continues his recovery from February knee surgery. After a sluggish start, he ÿnished 8-for-12 for 108 yards and a touchdown. “You have to play the hand that’s dealt to you and he knew that he wasn’t going to play much,” coach Jim Tressel said. “He knew that he couldn’t go live on the run part of it. He focused on what he could do, which was work on his footwork, coverage recognition, decision-making and so forth. I thought he did a pretty fair job.” Although the OSU spotlight typically shines on Pryor, Guiton stole it away for the afternoon. The Houston, Texas, native completed 11 of 21 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns while making his case for the No. 2 quarterback job. His main competition, Bauserman, ÿnished just 6-for-15 for 75 yards and tossed a pair of interceptions. [Guiton] “looked awesome,” lineman Jack Mewhort said. “He’s a great quarterback. I watched his high school ÿlm before he even came here and knew he would be amazing on the ÿeld someday. I don’t think anyone gave him enough credit and he proved himself out there today.” Guiton, who didn’t see the ÿeld as a freshman, shrugged off the battle to back up Pryor. “There are no hard feelings between me and Joe,” he said. “We know it’s just competition and nothing personal.” On the Gray team’s ÿnal possession, Guiton took a helmet to the knee. After being attended to, he walked off the ÿeld and said after the game that the pain he initially felt had subsided. Tressel said he is pleased with the depth that the healthy competition at quarterback provides. “Under the gun, we tried to get those two to throw it as many times as they could,” Tressel said. “If you go back and look at each of those performances, [you’ll] see that they each did some good things. “We really felt going into the last week of spring practice that we weren’t sure as if our depth had progressed as much as we’d like it to. … You need to have a deep team to have a chance at the championship.” Last season, more than 95,000 fans ° ocked to Ohio Stadium on a sweltering April afternoon to watch the scrimmage. But with gray skies and intermittent drizzle, only 65,223 people showed up to watch the team’s ÿnal tune-up until the summer. OSU opens the 2010 regular season with a Thursday night matchup against Marshall, the team’s ÿrst midweek night game since 1997.

competition heating up after Guiton’s performance

The Ohio State Buckeyes waited for months to see if Terrelle Pryor’s Rose Bowl performance could be something to build on. Although the Spring Game isn’t a foolproof indication for what a team can expect, it can be reassuring to see that players haven’t taken a step back. In Pryor’s case, coach Jim Tressel said he has continued to progress, even if he only was on the ÿeld for three series. “I thought he was good,” Tressel said. “You have to play the hand that is dealt you. He knew he wasn’t going to play much and he knew he couldn’t go live on the run part of it, so he focused on what he could do. He worked on his footwork and coverage recognition, decision-making and so forth. I thought he did a fairly good job.” The Buckeye quarterback didn’t impress at ÿrst, as the Scarlet team started three-and-out. After a touchdown drive by the Gray, however, Pryor completed all four of his passes on a drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Dane Sanzenbacher. “It was very impressive because we came out ÿrst drive and scored and I thought that was going to put an edge up for me on Terrelle,” freshman quarterback Kenny Guiton said. “But he basically said ‘Nah, nah come back to me.’ He drove them down the ÿeld and it looked good to me.” Pryor ÿnished the day 8-of-12 for 108 yards and a touchdown. Guiton separating himself as backup The only quarterback competition taking place for the Buckeyes recently has been for the backup job, and after the performances of Guiton and Joe Bauserman in the Spring Game, that competition could be closer than ever. “[Guiton] looked awesome. He’s a great quarterback,” offensive lineman Jack Mewhort said. “I watched his high school ÿlm before he even came here and knew he would be amazing on the ÿeld someday. I don’t think anyone

Terrelle Pryor fires a pass during the first quarter of Ohio State’s Spring Game. gave him enough credit and he proved himself out there today.” When Guiton found Taurian Washington for a 45-yard, game-winning touchdown for his team, it was the culmination of an impressive spring. “He played great today,” Washington said. “He proves himself every day in practice and his conÿdence has risen lately. He has played extremely well this spring and I think there are great things in the future for him.” Bauserman, on the other hand, had a day he would like to forget. He threw two interceptions and ÿnished six-of-15. Spring game superstar Washington’s career hasn’t gone the way he would have thought. After catching a touchdown in his ÿrst game as a Buckeye, Washington has struggled with consistency and struggled to earn playing time. But if there was ever a guy who could be relied on if all games were played in April, it would be Washington. “I knew it was going to happen because T-Wash is a Spring Game

legend around here,” Sanzenbacher said. “There was no denying that he was going to get into the end zone.” Technically, Washington has caught ÿve touchdowns as a Buckeye, but only one that really counts. In last year’s Spring Game, he also caught two touchdowns, adding to his spring stardom. “I don’t know what it is about the spring. I really don’t know,” Washington said. “I am just proud that I have come out and been successful every year during spring ball.” Last season, Washington had a chance to ÿnally make an impact when the Buckeyes started the season against Navy. Two dropped passes later, Washington didn’t earn many more opportunities to excel. Although he contemplated transferring, Washington returned to OSU and hopes he can ÿnally turn his super springs into a productive senior season. “I’ve had a pretty successful spring,” Washington said. “I’m hoping it carries over into the fall.”

Quarterback

I’ve earned a lot of respect from the seniors and the offensive line.” Coach Jim Tressel was glad to see both Guiton and Bauserman getting experience throughout the game. “I thought they both got some very valuable reps under the gun,” Tressel said. Tressel also acknowledged he was excited to see the development of Guiton on display as he wasn’t sure how his depth was headed into this fall. “We really felt as we went into the last week of practice we weren’t sure if our depth had progressed as much as we’d like it to,” Tressel said. Guiton, like Pryor, is a dual-threat quarterback with potential that can continue to be developed. Although he thought he played well, he noted there is always room for improvement, especially in his decision making. “To tell you the truth, you’re never satisÿed,” Guiton said of his play. “But overall I think I had a pretty good day.” Guiton will have the opportunity to continue to develop and learn as he plays behind Pryor this year. And although he might not see much playing time this season, Tressel stressed that having Guiton add depth to the roster is critical. “You need to have a deep team to have a chance at the championship,” Tressel said.
