OSU raises the bar for incoming students

Ohio State is ready to take the next step toward a brighter future, with brighter students. Last week, the Board of Trustees approved a new strategic enrollment plan for 2011-2015, titled “From Excellence to Eminence: The One University Enrollment Plan,” which aims to increase the number of students on all campuses, bring in more out-ofstate and international students and increase test scores, ranks and grade point averages of incoming students. Officials estimate the plan will bring in $12 million in additional net revenue for OSU to protect the school if Ohio cuts funding for higher education. An excerpt from the plan’s preamble promises to fight those possible budget cuts: “As the engine

STORM TRIGGERS SIRENS

arts

A fast-moving storm with high winds rolled through central Ohio Wednesday evening, leaving downed trees and debris across the University District. A tree in front of the Alpha Tau Omega house at 43 E. 15th Ave. was split by lightning and left lying in the building’s yard. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Franklin County shortly before 5 p.m., and sirens stopped when it expired about half an hour later. The powerful but brief storm reportedly downed wires on Second Avenue in the Victorian Village.

Could court ruling affect student orgs? DYLAN TUSSEL Lantern reporter tussel.2@osu.edu Depending on Ohio State Legal Affairs’ interpretation of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the Council on Student Affairs could alter OSU’s registration guidelines for student organizations. The court ruled on June 28 in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez that the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law was within its constitutional rights as a public institution to enforce a non-discrimination policy that restricted student organizations from denying membership to students based on their religion and sexual orientation, among other stipulations. The Christian Legal Society brought suit against UC Hastings, arguing that its “accept-all-comers policy impairs its First Amendment rights to free speech, expressive association, and free exercise of religion by prompting it, on pain of relinquishing the advantages of recognition, to accept members who do not share the organization’s core beliefs about religion and sexual orientation,” according to the Supreme Court’s opinion. However, the court rejected the society’s argument, saying: “In accord with the District Court and the Court of Appeals, we reject CLS’s First Amendment challenge. Compliance with Hastings’ all-comers policy, we conclude, is a reasonable, viewpoint-neutral condition on access to the student-organization forum. In requiring CLS — in common with all other student organizations — to choose between welcoming all students and forgoing the benefits of official recognition, we hold, Hastings did not transgress constitutional

We don’t think that someone who doesn’t subscribe to our beliefs should be able to lead our organization, the same way that many other organizations probably believe that, too. Caitlyn Nestleroth president of the Christian Legal Society at Ohio State’s Moritz College of Law

”

limitations.” Further, the court continued, the Christian Legal Society was not seeking the equal treatment that other officially recognized student groups received, but rather a “preferential exemption from Hastings’ policy.” In 2004, CLS brought a similar lawsuit against OSU. However OSU conceded, amending its policy to exempt religious groups from a portion of its non-discrimination policy. Before 2004, every student group at OSU had to draft a constitution that included, among other tenets, a “statement of non-discrimination prohibiting discrimination on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status,” according to the registration guidelines. The Christian Legal Society wanted to be a fully recognized student organization at OSU but refused to draft a non-discrimination policy that included religion or sexual orientation, according to an OSU

Website: At Ohio State, conservatives beware DYLAN TUSSEL Lantern reporter tussel.2@osu.edu Conservative website CampusReform. org recently labeled Ohio State’s Columbus campus overwhelmingly liberal, going so far as to say, “Conservatives should beware.” Emily Cochran, CampusReform.org’s regional field coordinator for the Great Lakes region, evaluated OSU’s political bias and authored the website’s review, which is meant to raise awareness in the conservative community. OSU political science professor Herbert Weisberg discovered some flaws with her assessment. “We want to help support conservative students on their campuses,” Cochran said. Cochran began her review with a brief summary of OSU’s history before analyzing the politically motivated student groups on campus. “First, I looked at the list of registered student organizations and looked at whether they leaned toward the left or the right,” Cochran said. Of the 1,000 student organizations at OSU, Cochran identified 150 that had political agendas and 40 that had clear partisan purposes.

campus CABS rolls out new routes, display boards JAMIE MORGAN Lantern reporter morgan.693@osu.edu Students might have noticed the expansion of the Transportation Route Information Program and modified routes from Campus Area Bus Service at the beginning of the 2010-2011 academic year. Introduced in 2009, the information program provides students with upcoming bus arrival times through the use of a mobile phone or electronic display boards located at 16 bus stops across campus. Sarah Blouch, director of Transportation and Parking Services, said boards are only stationed at key bus stops because of their $8,000 price tag. “We have to be kind of careful about it. We have a couple in the budget for the year, but they are cheaper in a shelter, obviously,” Blouch said. “Ideally, eventually, we would like to have the TRIP signs at all locations, but we are trying to be slow.” The electronic signs were implemented to provide students with accurate arrival times through the use of GPS tracking in each of the CABS buses. Blouch said this allows buses to communicate and remain evenly spaced with their timing. Although times are not displayed at every bus stop, students can access TRIP with a mobile phone by texting OSUTRIP followed by a space and the corresponding bus ID number to 41411. “It’s huge, you know, and we rolled that out at the same time we rolled out the whole TRIP program,” Blouch said. “I was really surprised with the response.”

Blouch said recent statistics show that 45,484 unique users have used trip.osu.edu 265,684 times, and 10,443 unique users have used TRIP texting 538,889 times. “I just usually text about 10 minutes before I leave for the bus stop,” said Holly Choi, a third-year in health information management and systems. “I’ve never had a problem with it, and I think it’s handy to have and it’s really easy to use.” But some students question whether the program is necessary. “I haven’t heard of anyone that uses the texting or personally know anyone that uses it, so why do we even need the boards? It seems to be more money wasted, and we don’t need that, too,” said Lisseth Flowers, a fourth-year in Spanish. Blouch said improvements in access to the program might encourage more students to use it. She said CABS plans to work with university communications to develop more smart phonefriendly applications and create more options for students. Not only is CABS updating its technology, it introduced a new route Sunday and will make two modifications to existing routes. Blouch said the East Residential and Med Center Express routes will improve and a central connector route will be added to improve service. “I don’t think these changes will be a negative for anyone,” Blouch said, “but will just be faster and provide new options.”

Religion from 1A

OSU Legal Affairs to determine how Supreme Court decision will affect university’s policy on student orgs press release from Oct. 1, 2004. In response, OSU inserted a short yet potent statement, which says, “A student organization formed to foster or affirm the sincerely held religious beliefs of its members may adopt a non-discrimination statement that is consistent with those beliefs.” “That’s the statement that a religiously affiliated organization could adopt if they so chose,” said Jeffrey Pelletier, assistant director of the Ohio Union. However, that rule might change because of the recent Supreme Court decision. Pelletier said OSU Legal Affairs is working to determine if and how the Supreme Court decision will affect OSU’s policy, as amended in 2004. The Christian Legal Society will review and possibly update OSU’s policy, under the advisement of OSU Legal Affairs. “How a group can establish its membership may depend on OSU Legal Affairs’ legal interpretation of the Supreme Court decision,” Pelletier said. “It came out over the summer, so essentially the impact that the decision has on OSU registration policy is something that we will receive guidance on from OSU Legal Affairs.” Caitlyn Nestleroth, president of CLS at the OSU

That percentage amounts to about $2.11 million, a February Lantern article reported. It is OUAB policy not to disclose how much it pays music artists and other performers to come to campus, Larson said. “Because there are several venues in town and in the general college market making offers to many of the performers we try to bring to campus for free shows, OUAB would be at a competitive disadvantage if we disclosed that information while others do not,” Larson said. Some college media booking agencies provide estimates on their websites for how much particular acts cost, but Weezer is not listed on many major agency websites, including Main Stage Productions and White Leaf Entertainment. BookingEntertainment.com, which does list Weezer, refused to disclose its asking price because it varies depending on the concert venue.

Enrollment from 1A

Three-part plan focuses on quantity, quality and diversity that will drive Ohio State forward in these uncertain economic times, strategic enrollment will be our institution’s unflinching response to that fiscal uncertainty, a response that will allow our institution to enhance its academic reputation and preserve the quality of education that our communities recognize and expect.” The plan is broken into three steps: quantity, quality and diversity. For the first step, quantity, officials said from 2011-2015, the university will incrementally enroll more freshmen, transfer students and graduate students so that by 2015, the student population across all campuses will be more than 66,000. The university’s population in 2009 was about 63,000. For the second step, quality, the university wants to improve the academics of incoming freshmen, transfer, graduate and regional campus students. By 2015, university officials would like 60 percent of its incoming freshmen to have graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, 96 percent to have graduated in the top quarter, and all to have an average ACT score of 29, up from this year’s incoming class average of 27.7. The expectations are a far cry from the qualifications of classes years ago, when one just had to be an Ohio resident to get into OSU. With OSU upping its standards, some might wonder if OSU is choosing to be more elite, or if so many people are applying that it’s becoming easier for the school to accept only the best.

Thursday September 23, 2010

“Of those with a clear partisan purpose, 31 are liberal and nine are conservative or libertarian,” Cochran’s review said. Cochran said she did not compare the groups based on their size or how active they were. Weisberg said the data was insufficient to prove a political imbalance in the student organizations. “Minimally, they should have looked to see how big the groups were,” Weisberg said, “and minimally, they should have looked to see which groups were active and which groups were not active.” Next, Cochran looked at donations OSU faculty and staff members made to political campaigns during the 2008 presidential election. She found that out of 157 monetary contributions made by OSU non-student employees during that election, 137 were donated to Democratic candidates and 20 were donated to Republicans. Weisberg said this was not an accurate portrayal of the political leanings of OSU faculty and staff. “That would be one way to show how they felt about the 2008 campaigns, and who felt intense enough to want to donate to a candidate one way or another,” Weisberg said. “A big question would be what percent of the campus donated. I would assume most professors didn’t donate to either side, which takes a lot away from that type of evidence.” Not including student employees, OSU had more than 26,800 faculty and staff members in autumn 2008, according to the Office of Human Resources. Less than 1 percent of all OSU faculty and staff members

M. Dolan Evanovich, vice president for Strategic Enrollment Planning, said it’s a little bit of both. OSU received 26,000 applicants last year and took 16,000, increasing its acceptance rate to 64.7 percent from the previous year’s 61.8 percent. Although Evanovich said officials will continue to take more talented students, he wouldn’t categorize OSU as “elite.” “We are becoming competitive and selective,” Evanovich said. “We admitted 61 percent (for this Autumn Quarter). Harvard, Yale … they have acceptance rates of 8, 9 percent. That’s elite.” Jefferson Blackburn, senior associate director of Undergraduate Admissions and First Year Experience, agrees with Evanovich. “I wouldn’t use the word ‘elite,’” Blackburn said. “Nobody wants to change the OSU experience. (The strategic enrollment plan is) about finding more kids that are like the ones already here (at OSU), but are more academically talented.” Those applying to OSU in recent years have noticed the change in admission standards. Megan Nauman, a third-year in speech and hearing sciences, said she considered OSU a hard school to get into when she applied, although several years ago she said she wouldn’t have considered it that way. First-year engineering student Tyler Hugenberg had an ACT score of 29 and a GPA of 3.5 but said he was “wait-listed for a day” when he applied. Blackburn said the admissions office gets a “significant number” of calls from rejected applicants and their families. “A lot of times, parents don’t understand the (competitiveness) of OSU, calling to say they know their kid would be successful at OSU,” Blackburn said. “But we’ve denied a lot of students who could have been successful.” The final part of the plan calls for increasing diversity among all OSU

Moritz College of Law, said she was aware of the Supreme Court’s decision but did not know it could possibly change OSU’s policy. “I do not think that OSU should have to make any changes to its policy. The Hastings all-comers policy is distinguishable from the general non-discrimination policy adopted by most universities, and which Ohio State currently has,” Nestleroth said. “CLS v. Martinez is a very narrow decision that only addresses Hastings’ all-comers policy.” Nestleroth said it is obvious that the society’s constitution addresses religious beliefs, as it is a religious group. She compared the group’s emphasis on religion to other groups’ emphases on their core missions. “UC Hastings would require the College Democrats to allow Republicans to serve as president and vice president, or allow someone who wears fur to be a candidate for office in an animalrights activist group,” Nestleroth said. “We don’t think that someone who doesn’t subscribe to our beliefs should be able to lead our organization, the same way that many other organizations probably believe that, too.” The Office of Legal Affairs declined to comment, but Jim Lynch, director of media relations, said in an e-mail on behalf of the office, “We are carefully reviewing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision and will take whatever further action we determine to be necessary and appropriate in light of this important decision.”

of how OUAB uses money from the activity fee. “The OUAB free concert series is pretty genius, actually,” Villanueva said. “Utilizing our Student Activity Fee to bring people together for something other than sports.” And although some students might be unsatisfied with OUAB’s concert choices, the board does take into account student preferences. Students can submit suggestions online at ohiounion.osu.edu, and OUAB conducts feedback surveys during events and ticket releases, Larson said. “We thought Weezer would be appealing to Ohio State students because Weezer is a band that has fans through multiple generations,” she said, “starting with the creation of the band in the early ‘90s through today.” Weezer will be joined by two opening acts: Chelsea Automatic and Town Monster. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. The activities board anticipates that “several thousand” students will attend, Larson said. Last year’s Welcome Week Concert, featuring Priscilla Renea and Shiny Toy Guns, took place at Buck-i-Frenzy, which made it difficult for OUAB to estimate the number of students in attendance, she said. See the Arts section for additional coverage. Ryan Book contributed to this article.

donated to political campaigns in the 2008 presidential election, which means only a little more than half of 1 percent of OSU faculty and staff monetarily supported a democrat in the 2008 presidential election. “To call the campus liberal on the basis of donations would be deceptive,” Weisberg said. Cochran evaluated the OSU Board of Trustees in a similar manner, finding that a majority of the money donated by the board went to Republican candidates in the 2008 presidential election. The final section of Cochran’s report cited the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education’s review of OSU. The foundation classified OSU as a red-light university, meaning it “has at least one policy that both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech.” The policies referenced on the foundation’s website were OSU’s sexual harassment policy and the section of the residence hall handbook that outlines the residents’ rights and protects them from discriminatory intimidation. Ben Hill, a 2010 OSU alumnus, said he has very traditional, conservative values but that he faced no politically related issues during his four years at OSU. “I remember specific classes where it was very obvious what the teachers’ opinions were, but I don’t think that ever hindered me from giving my opinion, or anyone else for that matter,” Hill said. “I probably had one, maybe two classes per year where I really felt that way, but I don’t ever remember there being a time when that was an issue.” Hill said his teachers encouraged a free flow of ideas in the classroom. “I always felt like my opinions were respected, and I know I have some pretty strong views that are contrary to liberal views,” Hill said. “I don’t really think people are being stifled and I don’t think that they should be complaining about it … just speak louder.” Cochran estimated 90 percent of the campuses CampusReform.org has reviewed are liberal.

campuses by bringing more international and out-of-state students and more students of color. For the Columbus campus alone, by 2015, officials hope a quarter of students are from out-of-state and want to increase the amount of international students in incoming freshman class to 8 percent. To do this, Evanovich said officials plan on using their “geomarkets,” including flagship campuses in other parts of the world. OSU just opened a flagship campus in China, and Evanovich said officials hope to do the same in Brazil and India. Evanovich also said officials will work to offer more scholarships and develop better and more financial aid packages for merit and need-based students. Evanovich promised that although OSU is trying to become more diverse, academics — not race or residence — will be the most important factor in admittance. An excerpt from the plan echoes his sentiments: “Expanding the student population … must not — and will not — come at the expense of quality or diversity. Indeed, the plan envisions quantity, quality, and diversity as foundational and indivisible components of one Ohio State University, which, as President (E. Gordon) Gee would remind us, strives to be a single-minded institution with world-wide reach.” Blackburn said the changes the enrollment plan proposes are for the best. “We’re a very diverse institution,” Blackburn said. “We’re not trying to change the character of who comes here. We want it to be better, not different.”

One of rock’s hottest acts will be performing for free at 7 p.m. Friday at the South Oval, if the student body ÿnds out about it. Although Weezer is arguably the largest act to perform at the annual Welcome Week Concert (T-Pain and Rihanna have performed in the past, before their mainstream popularity), many students were unaware when The Lantern asked them. “I didn’t know there was one (a concert),” Veronica Betancourt, a graduate student in art education, said with surprise. “I didn’t know about it,” said Jessica Bartholomew, an undecided second-year. Those who were aware of the concert were plenty excited, however. Justin Villanueva, a second-year in city and regional planning, complimented OUAB for planning events such as the free concert series. “The OUAB free concert series is pretty genius, actually,” he said.

“Our future is bright.” This simple line opened Mayor Michael B. Coleman’s declaration of Wednesday as PNC Arts Alive Day, and it was certainly true for 13 area arts foundations. The revealing of award recipients came six months after the announcement of the PNC Arts Alive program, a three-year initiative that will award a total of $1.5 million in grants to arts organizations in the Columbus area. The program split $500,000 among the 2010 winners, with each group receiving at least $25,000. Mike Gonsiorowski, PNC regional president, introduced the event after a performance by the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus. He said the initiative began with calls for “challenging and innovative” ideas, and “boy, did the arts sector respond.” “We reafÿrmed what we already knew,” Gonsiorowski said to the crowd gathered in the Franklin Park Conservatory’s main lobby. “Columbus is an arts powerhouse.” The organizations included theater groups, museums, a symphony and a ballet. The highest earner was the Carpe Diem String Quartet, which received $47,000. The group will use the money to

25 People in Kosovo love America, especially Snoop Dogg continued as Grants on 6A

JAMI JURICH Senior Lantern reporter jurich.4@osu.edu If I learned anything from my time in Kosovo this summer, it was that Kosovars have a great afÿnity for American culture. Therefore, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that they love Snoop Dogg. From the larger-than-life golden statue of Bill Clinton that waves at drivers as they merge onto the Bill Clinton Memorial Highway, to the Fourth of July celebrations that took place on the main street, Kosovars have a long-standing and deep respect for America. If Kosovars love all things American, then music certainly is no exception. Kosovars love American music, especially hip-hop and pop music. Hip-hop and top-40 songs can be heard everywhere in Kosovo — from dance clubs to coffee shops to bootlegged CD stores. I don’t really think that was the surprise of the summer. The fact that Snoop Dogg was coming to Kosovo to perform was the bigger surprise.

he t r

ve o d

Seeing Snoop Dogg in Kosovo seemed like the most random way to spend a Saturday night, but my fellow students and I probably would never have that opportunity again, so the seven of us jumped at the chance to get tickets. After talking with our local friends, it seemed like every person living in Kosovo would be at the concert. Posters were everywhere, and the ticket

lines were outrageous. Oh, and there was a Snoopmobile, a large truck with Snoop’s face on the side and Snoop’s music pumping through the speakers. When we arrived at the concert, the crowds were out of control. People ÿlled the main soccer stadium in Pristina, and the security was not very well-organized. Despite the issues with crowd control, however, the entire inÿeld of the stadium was full, and there were hundreds of people in the seats. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. In honor of Snoop Dogg, the stadium was serving gin and juice in reference to his hit song. The drink selection was a huge crowd-pleaser. The other American students and I thought the promotion was hilarious. There were three opening acts, all of which were Albanian and Kosovar rap and pop groups. After a few hours of opening acts, the crowd began to get restless until one of the opening acts started a pro-Albania chant.

concerts. He came straight from the airport and walked on stage chanting, “Are you ready, Kosovo?” The crowd went wild as the star took the stage and performed hits like “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Gin and Juice” and “Ups and Downs.” His performance was energetic and held the audience’s attention, but the highlight of the night by far was when he waved the Albanian ° ag. Kosovars across Pristina were reportedly able to hear the screams and cheers, and YouTube videos of that celebratory moment sprung up almost immediately. I had the opportunity to be interviewed for an Albanian newscast, along with Alex Jendrek, one of the other students I was with, and some of our local friends. Though we found it funny at the time, looking back, it was a great moment to be a part of an entire nation’s celebration, a nation I grew to love while spending my summer there. It was certainly random that Snoop Dogg came to Kosovo, but it was an experience I will never forget. Seeing the pride and energy in the eyes of the

Gateway presents music, movies and comedy for its back-to-school celebration JAMES GARCIA Lantern reporter garcia.299@osu.edu The South Campus Gateway was brimming with students and local artists Tuesday night for what was hailed “The Ohio State Welcome Fest,” or “Arts in the Alley.” Many local talents gathered to represent the arts for OSU students’ ÿrst night back at school. Activities included live music, art galleries, free movies and popcorn, a sketch-comedy performance and a multitude of kiosks selling T-shirts and jewelry. Several bands, including The Little Professors, Karate Coyote and The Wet Darlings, performed in the alley where the Landmark Gateway Theater, Ugly Tuna Saloona and several other businesses are located. Karate Coyote, a six-member independent Columbus rock-pop group that formed in 2007, gathered quite a few people passing to and from the parking garage behind the small stage where they performed. The group played original songs from its newest album, “Inner Animals,” and did a cover of “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” an indie classic by Joy Division. An unnamed jam trio, which consisted of an electric violinist, keyboardist and drummer, also played. The noises the musicians produced gathered about 100 people who gawked at their ability to

improvise combinations of jazz, classical and modern sounds. They asked the audience for song suggestions, and one fan yelled the cliched response, “Free Bird!” The idea was quickly shot down. Instead, they jammed to the tune of “Happy Birthday.” Ohio Wesleyan University graduates and Columbus residents Nick Stull and Spencer Mustine were present in the Arts Initiative at OSU for their gallery exhibit “HumanScapes: a Sense of Place.” “It’s been pretty chill. The (exhibit) opening was mostly family and people we knew, so today has been mostly random people, OSU students. Deÿnitely have had a pretty good response,” Mustine said. The Gateway Theater had its seats full, closing the theater to the public and handing out free tickets to students. By the 9:30 p.m. showing, almost all the movies were at capacity. Students received free soda and popcorn and lined the sidewalk from the Gateway, around the corner and halfway to East 11th Avenue. At 10 p.m., the Sketch By Number group performed a free sketchcomedy show for a packed house at The Green Room. The group’s sketches were aimed at college students, Facebook users and homosexual dinosaurs. “Queen of the Dinosaurs II” was a scene from the Little Mermaid played by a gay tyrannosaurus rex and his overbearing father with a tiny trident. Sketch by Number will be doing special Halloween performances along with live Columbus bands at The Green Room at 9 p.m. on Oct. 22 and 23 and at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Oct. 29.

use PNC Arts Alive grants for new projects develop programs for introducing 3 to 5 year olds in local schools to chamber music. City councilwoman and development chair Priscilla Tyson was also on hand to pass along Coleman’s message and describe how arts are fundamental to the expansion of the Columbus economy. “The future depends on what we do in the present,” Tyson said, quoting Mahatma Gandhi. “Never has this been more signiÿcant than today.” Tyson also commended PNC for its role in supporting the arts and she encouraged other businesses to follow suit. “PNC, you are an amazing example to our corporate partners,” she said. “The only question is, who’s next?” After the half-hour presentation, the presenters and winners gathered outside the Palm House to revel in their winnings. The representatives from each group described the effect the grants would have on their programs. Robert Lucas, the producing director of Mad

River Theater Works, explained how it would beneÿt his organization’s Living Newspaper, a project in which the group travels U.S. Route 68 and gathers stories of the people and place of rural Ohio before recreating them as stage plays. “The PNC money will allow us to broaden our scope in terms of collection and returning to the community for production,” he said. “It could help facilitate discussion with the community, as well.” Beyond simply expanding existing projects, some said that without the help from PNC, the projects might not have gotten off the ground. “It has a signiÿcant impact,” said Neal Hauschild, president of the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus, describing his group’s upcoming partnership with the Columbus Children’s Choir and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra. “Without their assistance and help, more likely than not, we would not be able to do that collaboration.”

OUAB from 4A

OUAB concert chair Linnea Larson said Weezer’s relevance after 16 years was one of the key reasons why OUAB aimed to get the band for this year’s concert. “We thought Weezer would be appealing to Ohio State students because Weezer is a band that has fans through multiple generations, starting with the creation of the band in the early ‘90s through today,” she said in an e-mail. Weezer is known for its entertaining stage show, and the concert on the South Oval will offer attendees a chance to get closer than they might at a typical arena show. Although students might not have been aware of the show beforehand, it doesn’t mean they aren’t interested. After ÿnding out about the concert, Betancourt said there was a distinct possibility she would go. “Now that I do (know about the concert), I might go,” she said.

California band

known for straightforward rock “Utilizing our Student Activity Fee to bring people together for something other than sports.” Weezer formed in California and gained fame after its 1994 self-titled debut (referred to as “The Blue Album” by fans) reached No. 16 on the Billboard charts. The album included the singles “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone — The Sweater Song.” The band became popular among alternative rock circles for its simple, garage-rock sound and attitude. The band hasn’t slowed down since. Weezer has released seven albums since its debut, each one staying close to the band’s straightforward rock ‘n’ roll formula. Although the next few albums after “Blue” didn’t reach the same sales totals as the debut, the band found itself in the spotlight again in 2005 with its single “Beverly Hills.”

BUCKEYE BULLETS OSU – E. Michigan: What to watch for ZACK MEISEL Sports editor meisel.14@osu.edu Week 4 of Ohio State’s season is being brought to you by cupcakes, the ofÿcial dessert of the Buckeyes’ schedule for the next couple of weeks. After hosting Eastern Michigan, winless during the last 22 months, OSU plays Illinois and Indiana, who combined for just three conference wins in 2009. The Buckeyes shut out the Illini in the rain last September, 30-0. A week later, they crushed the Hoosiers 33-14. So far this year, Illinois is 2-1, having knocked off in-state rivals Northern and Southern Illinois. Indiana, at 2-0, beat Towson and Western Kentucky. Obviously, neither Big Ten lowlife has faced an opponent anywhere near OSU’s caliber. Don’t expect coach Jim Tressel to keep Terrelle Pryor and the ÿrst-team offense in the game for as long as he did last Saturday against Ohio. He’ll probably pull the plug on the starters at halftime, as he did a year ago against overmatched New Mexico State. Tressel wasn’t his usual conservative self last week. Pryor was still rolling out and throwing the ball deep downÿeld despite a 36-point lead in the third quarter. Look for OSU to rely more on the run game Saturday. It could be the ÿrst extensive backÿeld action for Jaamal Berry, once Dan Herron, Brandon Saine and Jordan Hall get their touches during the ÿrst three quarters. Eastern Michigan allows an average of 253 rushing yards per game. Expect Tressel to take advantage of that and give his Heisman-contending quarterback a bit of a week off. The defense should feast on Eastern Michigan’s tendency to commit turnovers. OSU picked off Miami (Fla.) quarterback Jacory Harris four times, then forced ÿve Bobcat turnovers last week. Eastern Michigan has turned the ball over eight times in three games.

The life of an NFL practice squad player Former Buckeyes Jim Cordle and Jake Ballard practice, travel but don’t play in games ROBERT GARTRELL Senior Lantern reporter gartrell.7@osu.edu

Living on the edge

Four 2009 Buckeye graduates are on NFL practice squads

They take punishing hits in practice, bury their heads in playbooks and spend hours watching game ÿlm. But they don’t play in games. So goes a season or more for NFL players designated to their team’s practice squad. The practice squad, a small, separate unit from a team’s active 53-man roster, is composed of players living in NFL purgatory. Although they’re essentially too good to be released from the organization, they aren’t quite good enough or ready to ÿll a spot on the team’s ofÿcial roster. With only eight available spots, the practice squad is usually ÿlled by rookies and other younger players to help them adjust to the NFL. Being relegated to the practice squad is often a sobering experience for players who have grown accustomed to playing key roles for their high school and college teams. “It is a little different,” said Jake Ballard, former Ohio State tight end who is now a rookie on the New York Giants practice squad. “I’ve been playing for eight years and started as

Despite age, former Buckeye continues to leave mark as NFL defensive coach JAMES OLDHAM Lantern reporter oldham.29@osu.edu At 73, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive mastermind Dick LeBeau is the oldest coordinator roaming the sidelines of the NFL. But it’s best to keep from mentioning that to LeBeau. When his brother, Bob, called on Sept. 9 to wish him a happy birthday, Dick LeBeau reminded him of a recent family tradition. “He’s 73,” Bob said. “But he said, ‘We don’t count them anymore,’ and I told him, ‘No, we don’t.’” Despite his age, LeBeau continues to add to his growing list of achievements. At perhaps the top of that list sits enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Growing up in London, Ohio, his biggest dream was to be an Ohio State Buckeye. “Ohio State was like Valhalla for football players in Ohio, and it was always a dream of mine to play in Ohio Stadium,” LeBeau said. “So when that dream came

Winless since ‘08, just how bad is Eastern Michigan football?

Eastern Michigan

(0-3)

vs.

Ohio State (3-0)

Saturday, 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium EVAN CLOSKY Senior Lantern reporter closky.2@osu.edu A national football powerhouse such as Ohio State expects to win every game.

That’s a stark difference from the aura that surrounds the Eastern Michigan program. The Eagles have lost 15 straight games. In the time since Eastern Michigan’s last victory, President Barack Obama was inaugurated, LeBron James “took his talents to South Beach” and the Jersey Shore became a popular tourist site. The last time OSU lost consecutive games was in 2004, when they lost to Northwestern, Wisconsin and Iowa. That was the last season in which OSU did not play in a BCS bowl game. Safety Tyler Moeller doesn’t care that Eastern Michigan has not won since Nov. 28, 2008. “Any team can beat us any day,” Moeller said. “Ohio University proved that in 2008. They gave us a great game. We need to play our game every week and not let go of the throttle.” Are the Eastern Michigan Eagles really as bad as they seem?

The team is led by senior linebackers Neal Howey and Tim Fort, who are both in the top ÿve in tackles in the Mid-American Conference. Second-year coach Ron English, former defensive coordinator at Michigan under Lloyd Carr, leads a team that is predominately underclassmen. “He knows us better than his players know us, having been on Lloyd’s staff for all those years, coaching the secondary there at Michigan, and he knew the challenge when he took over,” said OSU coach Jim Tressel. Five of Eastern Michigan’s 15 consecutive losses have come in games decided by a touchdown or less. The Eagles’ losing streak is second behind Western Kentucky’s 23-game drought. Despite the disparity in team success, the message in the OSU locker room is quite simple. “We can’t have any letdowns,” defensive end Cameron Heyward said.

LeBeau from 1B

LeBeau excited

about potential of former Buckeyes true, it was about as neat a thing as anything that has happened to me in my playing career.” LeBeau was a starter on the 1957 National Championship team, playing two-way ball for coach Woody Hayes. “Woody was one of the more successful coaches of his era, as everyone knows, so it was very rewarding for all of us that played for him,” LeBeau said. “He would always ÿgure out a way to win, and that’s why we play the game.” LeBeau was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the ÿfth round of the 1959 NFL Draft. Cleveland cut him before the season began, so he signed with the Detroit Lions. LeBeau played for the Lions for 13 seasons, setting an NFL record by starting in 171 consecutive games at cornerback. He is tied for seventh all-time in interceptions, with 62. “I’ve told him more than once, brother, I wish you still had some eligibility left and could play for Pittsburgh,” Bob said. “He had soft hands, and he was able to play the ball really well.” After retiring in 1973, LeBeau switched gears and joined the NFL coaching ranks. Despite stints with various teams, including an unsuccessful run as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000-02, his biggest coaching achievements have come in his second tour of duty with the Steelers. Since becoming the Steelers defensive coordinator a second time, the team has won two Super Bowls (‘05 and ‘08). A big reason for that has been LeBeau’s defensive schemes, including the ÿre, or zone-blitz, scheme. LeBeau is considered the architect of that defensive alignment. “When the ‘run and shoot’ and ‘West Coast offenses’ were becoming popular, we needed a way of trying to contain these quick-hitting passes, while applying pressure on the quarterback,” LeBeau said. “It evolved in its earliest stages in 1984 and it was just time because of a necessity really to contain those offensive sets.” Perhaps because LeBeau has become a legendary defensivecoaching mind, most football fans assume that he was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a coach. But that’s not the case, as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player for the Detroit Lions. Regardless of how he went into the Hall, it didn’t stop the entire Steelers organization, players and coaches included, from making the trip down to Canton to support their defensive coordinator. “I’m just so indebted to coach (Mike) Tomlin and the Rooney family for enabling the team to take a day off of the training camp schedule and to travel. It’s like having another away game for them,” LeBeau said. “It was truly the highest compliment that’s ever been paid to me. It was just a tremendous experience, and I loved it.” While it’s been well-publicized that a mutual love affair exists between LeBeau and the Steelers players, rookie additions such as former Buckeye Thaddeus Gibson are also grateful for his tutelage. “LeBeau teaches you how to be a pro,” Gibson said. “That’s

why guys like (James) Farrior and (Larry) Foote have been around for so long because those guys know how to be a pro.” “Learning from coach LeBeau, who is a well-known player and a well-known coach … it couldn’t be a better position for me.” Even with former all-pro cornerback “Rod” Woodson petitioning for LeBeau to be inducted, and current Steelers players supporting him by wearing his Lions throwback jersey in the locker room, the odds of making it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame are slim. “Less than one-tenth of 1 percent of people who start in the NFL are inducted into the Hall of Fame, so to have that happen is just the epitome of anyone’s dream realization,” LeBeau said. The Pro Football Hall of Fame wasn’t the only honor that has been bestowed on him lately. In 2009, LeBeau was inducted into the OSU Athletics Hall of Fame for his contributions to the Buckeye football squad from 1956-58. “I follow the team every year,” LeBeau said. “I just think that coach (Jim) Tressel is one of the most outstanding football coaches of all time. I think that the way he conducts his business, with professional and ethical excellence, is really a textbook for all of us in coaching. I regard him as more than an acquaintance. I regard him as a friend.” LeBeau had similar praise in store for Gibson, as well as Will Allen, another former Buckeye on the Steelers roster. “Will has done a really great job,” LeBeau said. “He’s going to give us quality depth and receive a lot of playing time.” LeBeau is still going strong. During his Hall of Fame speech, “I can’t even tell you how many people, some that I knew and some that I didn’t know, approached me after the ceremony and told me that my brother’s speech made a big impact on them,” Bob said. “They would tell me, that stuff about not letting age be anything more than a number, that had a big impact on me personally.”

Practice from 1B

Major difference

in paychecks between practice squad and roster players

a freshman in high school, too. Now that I’m not in the mix, it just fuels the ÿre.” Although their roles on the team are reduced, their workload is just as demanding as their active-roster teammates. Aside from playing in games and traveling with the team, practice squad players attend all meetings, practices and workout sessions. And although these players are still seen as an investment to the team’s future, their primary job is to prepare the starters by mimicking their opponents during practice. Although they don’t play in the games each week, Ballard doesn’t feel detached from the other players, and that the veterans, some of whom were once on the practice squad, try to help them as much as they can. “We have players on this team that are used to winning and know what it takes to win,” Ballard said. “They know there has to be that camaraderie and that players can’t come into hostile environments because then they won’t get anything accomplished.” But one area where there is separation from the rest of the team is in their bank accounts. A practice squad player makes $5,200 per week. Although plentiful, it’s still only a fraction of the $325,000 minimum contract per season in the NFL. Nonetheless, practice squad players don’t think their paychecks are anything to complain about. The practice squad salary “is a lot of money,” said Jim Cordle, another rookie from OSU on the New York Giants practice squad. “I’m deÿnitely used to living off not much money, and it’s more than enough to keep me going.”

ANDY GOTTESMAN / Lantern photographer

Tight end Jake Ballard makes a leaping catch during Ohio State’s 26-17 Rose Bowl victory over Oregon. Something they can complain about is the grueling pace of their practices. Practice squad players often play on both offense and defense in addition to special teams. And because their NFL careers are already in limbo, they can ill afford to submit to exhaustion or injury. “You never get a break,” Cordle said. “You better yourself every day, but the non-stop practice and extra conditioning is probably the hardest thing about it.” However, that monotonous grind doesn’t last an entire season for everybody. Practice

squad players are frequently added to the active roster as injuries deplete a team’s lineup during the season. In addition, practice squad players are also free to be signed to the active roster of another NFL team. Pro Bowl linebacker James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers is an example of how effective the practice squad can be. He toiled in it for much of his early career before reaching stardom. Current practice squad players all hope to emulate his success. But their time to do so is limited. Players lose their

practice squad eligibility after three years on the unit, or if they have been active in at least nine NFL games during a season. But only two games into the season, Ballard and others like him are still getting adjusted to the league, hoping their hard work eventually brings them to the active roster. “When you’re a practice squad guy and you go against the No. 1 defense every day it makes yourself better,” Ballard said. “I’ve got a good shot. I just have to keep working hard and get better every day.”

sports Five questions to ask about Ohio State – Eastern Michigan GRANT FREKING Senior Lantern reporter freking.4@osu.edu

TALE OF THE TAPE

1. How long will the starters play? Coach Jim Tressel surprised many when he left the starters in through the third quarter of the Ohio University game Saturday, but he said he wanted to get the ÿrst-team offense a few more positive drives. There should be more than enough of those Saturday against Eastern Michigan University, which has given up an average of 37 points per game in its three losses this season. Thus, expect the ÿrst-team offense and defense to play the ÿrst half and call it a day after that. The game should be well in hand by then, and a pointless injury to a key player could incite a riot in Ohio Stadium.

4. Remember Ron English? The head Eagle is a former Michigan defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach. The Wolverine defense earned many accolades under English, including in 2006 when they ÿnished ÿrst in the nation against the run, fourth in sacks, No. 10 in total defense and boasted future NFL talent such as Leon Hall, LaMarr Woodley and David Harris. That success hasn’t translated to EMU. Last season, the Eagles ranked No. 106 in the country in total defense. So far in 2010, they’re No. 94, allowing an average of 414 yards per game.

2. Will Eastern Michigan score? Ohio State’s defense has given up just two touchdowns this season. They rank No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 7 nationally in total defense. EMU is 91st in the nation in scoring offense. Let’s put it nicely and say the odds aren’t in their favor. 3. Why is Eastern Michigan on Ohio State’s schedule? OSU is paying EMU to come to the Horseshoe on Saturday. If everything goes as expected, the Eagles will get a nice check and a whipping as well. If college football still operated on an 11-game regular season, instead of a 12-game regular season, chances are this game would not be played at all.

5. What are OSU’s goals in this game? Better establish the run game. Experience continued special teams improvement. Don’t turn the ball over. Force at least ÿve three-and-outs on defense. Stay healthy. Most of the same goals OSU has had in recent weeks. Tressel obviously isn’t overlooking the game and wants to make sure his players continue to develop. “We have to spend all of our time and energy trying to get better,” Tressel said. “And I feel as if these guys will do that.”
