A hole — large enough for children to throw rocks through during tailgate parties — in the top ˜ oor of a campus parking garage is set to undergo “emergency” repairs today, almost a year after the ÿssure was identiÿed. Transportation & Parking Services posted a sign at the garage’s entrance Sept. 21 that said repairs are needed on the fourth and ÿfth ˜ oors of Ohio State’s Northwest Parking Garage, across from the Knowlton School of Architecture. The repairs, originally slated for completion during the summer, must be ÿnished before winter weather sets in or the entire level of the garage could be closed, OSU ofÿcials said. The roof-top hole measures about 2 feet long and 6 inches wide and opens to the ˜ oor below. The last time crews worked on the garage was 10 years ago. About a year ago, workers concluded that the garage needed about $140,000 in repairs. On football game days, the roof is also a hotspot for some tailgaters. “There’s all kinds of kids running around here that could trip and fall in the hole,” said Dawn List, 41, an OSU alumna who tailgated at the garage during the Buckeyes’ game against Eastern Michigan on Saturday. “They’re throwing rocks in the hole and damaging cars underneath. They won’t let us have grills up here because it’s too dangerous, yet holes are OK?” Emergency repairs are scheduled to start today and will take about ÿve weeks. About 75 of the garage’s 644 parking spaces will be closed this week. During the four weeks following that, workers will close about 50

spaces, said Sarah Blouch, director of Transportation & Parking Services. Blouch’s department submitted paperwork calling for repairs last fall after workers noticed that some concrete in the garage had deteriorated. “Areas requiring repair on the ÿfth level, as a whole, were identiÿed after the November 2009 assessment,” said Mary Lynn Readey, associate vice president of Facilities Operations and Development. “The growth of the opening occurred during the 2009-10 winter season and was speciÿcally incorporated into the current design and repair plans.” The repairs had been planned to begin during the summer, but delays in the contractor bidding process pushed the project to fall. Ofÿcials said the ÿfth ˜ oor is still safe for vehicles, but that hasn’t quelled tailgaters’ concerns. “My kids play up here all the time, throwing the football,” said

Ohio State has colossal aspirations for an ofÿce not much larger than a university residence hall room. The 270-square-foot Global Gateway Ofÿce, which opened February in Shanghai, China, is expected to perform a variety of functions similar to international liaison ofÿces that other universities have established. However, unlike other universities’ liaison ofÿces, the gateway ofÿce will eventually be self-supporting, said William Brustein, vice provost for global strategies and international affairs at OSU. Other universities, such as the University of Southern California, have opened successful ofÿces abroad, but they depend on the university for ÿnancial support. The OSU Ofÿce of International Affairs and the Fisher College of Business’ Center for Executive Education are working to develop executive training programs, which will operate through the gateway ofÿce. These programs are expected to be the ofÿce’s source of revenue. “What we’re going to offer, in terms of these executive training programs, will be programs that already exist within the Center for Executive Education, such as logistics and supply chain management,” Brustein said. “But they will be customized for our clients operating in China.”

The Global Gateway Office in Shanghai is aimed to succeed where other universities have failed by maintaining enrollment and becoming self-supporting. The main goal of the office is to facilitate study-abroad and internship experience for OSU students.

Despite the death of a rider in Ohio State’s Pelotonia tour this summer, organizers said safety along the route to Athens doesn’t need improvement. Michelle Kazlausky, 57, was hit and killed by a pickup truck at the intersection of routes 180 and 374 in Hocking County, said Lt. Jeff Skinner of the Ohio Highway Patrol. Jessica Kinman, the tour’s spokeswoman, would not say whether there will be any changes to the tour next year. “One of our ofÿcers was monitoring that position and the ofÿcer saw some bikes coming, stepped down to the road to stop trafÿc, and the ÿrst vehicle coming toward him failed to stop,” Skinner said. The driver, Ervin Blackston, 57, had reported working on the brakes earlier that day, Skinner said. The patrol determined that the brakes failed on the 1985 Ford pickup truck, and Skinner said Kazlausky failed to heed the stop sign as she approached the intersection where she was struck.

“Cyclists are supposed to obey all the normal trafÿc laws that apply to cars on the road,” he said. “No one saw (Kazlausky) stop at the stop sign.” Though it’s impossible to determine how many of the 4,047 riders obeyed the rules of the road, some reported that they frequently Michelle Kazlausky stopped at intersections. “People would stop at the stop signs and red lights,” said Blake Chaney, a second-year in Zoology who rode in the tour. “Everybody who I was riding with, the whole time obeyed the trafÿc signs, just like anybody else would have.” Despite Kazlausky’s death, event ofÿcials insist that the tour was safe for cyclists and will be next year. “I had a number of friends who rode this year, who are big-time cyclists and have ridden in events all over the country, and they told me this is the safest, best-organized event they have ever ridden,”

said Alec Wightman, a James Cancer Hospital board member. “Obviously it was tragic, and I’m sure that everything that was done in the past will be done next year, and then some.” During the tour, police ofÿcers were stationed at busy intersections to direct riders and other trafÿc. Organizers are still determining how much money riders raised in the second year of the tour. Last year, the tour raised $4.5 million for OSU’s Comprehensive Care Center, said Juli Capani, Pelotonia volunteer coordinator. Fundraising for this year’s tour ends Oct. 22. Riders choose one of four endpoints on the route. The longest ride, spanning two days, takes participants to Athens and most of the way back to Columbus. “Everyone who rode the ÿrst year, rode the second and brought friends along,” Wightman said. “I expect it to keep growing.” Repeated attempts to reach Kazlausky’s sister and sister-in-law for comment were made with no response.

campus Union’s Espress-OH dishes out football-inspired gelato JAMIE MORGAN Lantern reporter morgan.693@osu.edu For $3.69 a scoop, students can take a bite out of the Buckeyes’ opponent — the team’s gelato ˜ avor, that is. Homemade gelato ˜ avors for each opponent of the football season are available each Friday at Espress-OH in the Ohio Union. Students are greeted by an ever-changing array of colorful choices, displayed in a glass case in the wrap-around counter at the entrance. Prepared for the battle against Eastern Michigan University on Sept. 25, Espress-OH released its newest creation: “Eagle Apple Pie.” The new ˜ avor joined Marshall University’s “We are Marshall” mint, University of Miami’s “Hurricane” orange, Ohio University’s “Paw Paw” fruit and Ohio State’s very own “Buckeye Bonanza.” Members of Espress-OH came up with the idea two weeks before the Sept. 2 game against Marshall to provide students and visitors with yet another game day activity. “I think it’s pretty cool because there aren’t really that many places to get gelato around here, and it’s right on campus,” said Kacey Watts, a recent logistics management graduate. “Plus, it’s kind of exciting to come and see all of the game ˜ avors on game day.” The staff solicited input from students and alumni at each university to create the ˜ avors. Eastern Michigan, like the others, eagerly participated in the creation of the school’s frozen treat, said Espress-OH’s assistant manager Alicia Palmer. “It’s made with granola, slices of chunked apple and a little bit of brown sugar sprinkled in just for that extra kick,” said Megan Blask, student assistant for food services at the Union. Creativity aside, the staff has noticed that game-day ˜ avors are off-putting to loyal Buckeye fans, and students are occasionally hesitant to order some of the ˜ avors. “Everything tastes great as a sample, but I don’t want to have a whole cup of any bizarre ˜ avor,” said Jeff Sferro, a marketing graduate. A popular choice, “Buckeye Bonanza,” out-sells all the others, especially when the Union is crowded with students, families and alumni on Saturday evenings, Palmer said. The concoctions are not only fun to eat, they are fun to make as well, workers said. “All of the mixes are made a little differently simply because of the ingredients used, but most of them begin the same way, with a milk base that I make. Then, the fun part is where I make all the ˜ avors with the base. Once it tastes good, I run it through the machine and it takes care of the rest,” Blask said in an e-mail. Although a machine handles the blending, choosing ingredients requires a chef. “It isn’t difÿcult to make, but the key is to get the ˜ avors the same every time,” said Roger Garland, executive sous chef for the Union. Original ˜ avors are also relatively inexpensive to make, Garland said. In addition to cutting university costs, gelato satisÿes healthconscious customers. The non-game day pineapple ˜ avor is both fat-free and dairy-free, and all are a healthful alternative to other frozen treats. Flavors are available to students daily, but Espress-OH hopes to attract fans on Saturdays. “I think a lot of game day people will buy it. It’s a great idea for

Fresh gelato ready to be served at Espress-OH in the Ohio Union on Friday. Normal operating hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. people who are really into it all,” said Douglas Brunner, a ÿrst-year in music education. Game day fans or not, Palmer said the gelato will speak for itself. “I don’t know if everyone knows about it, but I feel after they come in and try it, they will deÿnitely be back for more,” Palmer said. Espress-OH’s two bar-style seating areas are located in the northwest corner of the Union. In addition to gelato, the menu offers espresso, frozen drinks, pastries and grab ‘n’ go items available for purchase with meal swipes, cash and credit. Operating hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and special game day hours are listed at ohiounion.osu.edu/visit_the_union/gameday.

Hole repairs estimated to cost OSU about $140,000 41-year-old Kevin Stearns, who also tailgated Saturday. “My kid could fall through that hole. If something happened, they’d have a major lawsuit on their hands.” Andy Crouse, 31, who was also in the garage Saturday, said ofÿcials wouldn’t wait to ÿx crumbling sidewalks, “So why would they leave them in the parking garage?” Readey acknowledged that the ideal time for the repairs would have been in the summer, when fewer drivers use the garage. Summer has passed but the maintenance is still scheduled to occur “when it offers the least impact to users of the garage,” Readey said. “All repair work has been scheduled for night work, with only concrete deliveries on designated days beginning at 6 a.m. and completing before the early morning commute by garage users,” Readey said. The emergency sign posted last week “was intended to convey the fact that we simply cannot treat this as routine at this point, given the coming cold weather,” Blouch said. The freeze and thaw cycles of winter could worsen the damage and potentially close an entire level in the garage, Blouch said. But the sign has bewildered some who frequent the garage.

“This emergency should have been a year ago,” said Chris Helman, assistant manager of Wired Out and a regular at the Northwest Parking Garage. “I think this needs to be taken care of immediately.” Some tailgaters are also worried that the project will limit much-coveted parking space during the next home football game. “I will be back on Oct. 9 for the Indiana game, and if it’s not ÿxed, I’m going to raise serious s--- because we’re season-ticket holders, and that’s deÿnitely not acceptable,” Stearns said. The last time crews worked on the garage was a repair and waterprooÿng project in 2000, according to Facilities Operations and Development records. Five contractors bid on the repair project that launches today. According to the last

assessment of the garage, repairs will cost $139,120. “OSU’s got plenty of money, it seems, so they probably should have repaired this sooner,” said Erik Fischer, a third-year in the exploratory program. Ofÿcials said no injuries or complaints have been reported. “If they think ÿxing this is expensive, wait until they get the freaking bill after somebody sues their a--,” Stearns said. “Then they’ll see how much money they’re going to lose.”

Global offices run by OSU could soon be built in India, Brazil and Turkey Brustein said unique programs of interest to businesses in China, such as a food safety program, will also be added. The ofÿce is conducting an assessment to determine what other programs to offer. Brustein said the executive training program will initially target Ohio-based companies located in China and companies with OSU alumni in key positions. He hopes the program will gain a good reputation, which will allow the ofÿce to expand its client base. Although the exact programs that will be offered and the price to participate have not yet been determined, the ofÿce aims to have the programs up and running at some point next year, said Maureen Miller, director of communication for the Ofÿce of International Affairs. Before the gateway ofÿce can conduct revenue-generating operations in China, it must obtain a license. It is operating under a restrictive license that does not allow it to perform business functions. The start-up cost of the gateway ofÿce was $240,000, which covered the ÿrst eight months of operation. The estimated yearly expense after that is $600,000, Brustein said. A three-year timeline was set for the ofÿce to become fully self-supporting, but it is not a strict deadline, Brustein said. At the end of three years, the ofÿce will be evaluated. “The key point is that the value has to be looked at not just in a narrow fashion,” Brustein said, “but in a creative, open fashion of the value that the ofÿce brings to the university.” A main goal of the gateway ofÿce is to establish study-abroad and internship opportunities for OSU students there. “No other ofÿce is doing anything like that,” Brustein said. The ofÿce also provides OSU alumni in

China a means of organizing with each other, Miller said. “It just seemed to have a domino effect with the alumni reconnecting with one another,” Miller said, noting that an alumni community has begun to form in China since the ofÿce opened. The gateway ofÿce is expected to recruit high-caliber Chinese students and increase donations to OSU from supporters of the initiative. USC’s success in increasing its international student population illustrates the effectiveness of liaison ofÿces in that respect. According to USC’s international student enrollment report, its international student population increased from 7,490 to 7,987 between 2008 and 2009. Brustein said he initially planned to relocate operations from the current ofÿce to a facility about 10 times its size. Now, he said the size depends on how successfully the ofÿce can manage its responsibilities at its current capacity. “If we ÿnd that much of what we want to accomplish can be achieved by having the smaller ofÿce and leasing larger space, we may not need to increase our space tenfold,” Brustein said. OSU established the ofÿce in a central, convenient location for business-people to access, Brustein said. “It’s a very welcoming area when you want to have corporate people come to visit,” he said, mentioning that the ofÿce is close to a major subway stop, hotels and restaurants. The small ofÿce also came with a small price tag and lower risk compared with facilities other universities have opened abroad. “What recently happened to Michigan State is that they realized, after dropping millions of dollars to establish a Michigan campus abroad, that it wasn’t going to work,” Brustein said. Michigan State University has offered programs in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for about three years, said Stephanie Motschenbacher, communication manager for

international studies and programs at MSU. This summer, MSU ended its undergraduate program there because of lower-thanexpected enrollment. “We had facilities there where we would teach MSU classes and programs, but they’re no longer enrolling there,” Motschenbacher said, adding that the graduate program at MSU Dubai still exists. “We weren’t meeting the target of the numbers of students to enroll.” Brustein has a solution to the problem. “By building a brick-and-mortar campus, you’re taking so many of your resources, which will limit you based on where else you can be,” Brustein said. “We can build a stateof-the-art major without building a university campus. We’ll do it through partnerships with other universities in China, and the gateway ofÿce can facilitate that.” Some universities establish ofÿces on the campus of one of their partner universities abroad. But OSU speciÿcally wanted to open an independent ofÿce. “We have relationships with so many great universities in China, and we don’t want to give the perception that we have an exclusive relationship with one speciÿc university,” Brustein said. The Ofÿce of International Affairs is already in the early stages of planning gateway ofÿces at other sites, depending on the success of the one in Shanghai. A faculty advisory committee has already been assembled to help plan the development of a gateway ofÿce in New Delhi, India, according to the ofÿce’s Web site. OSU is also looking into establishing an ofÿce in São Paulo, Brazil, and possibly ones in Turkey, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. “At the other sites, we are doing exploratory work, looking at exploratory and entrepreneurial ways to develop without relying on our budget at this time,” Brustein said. “There have been a number of alumni in these other gateway countries who have already expressed interest to me that they’d be willing to give us prime ofÿce space at no cost.”

student voice You deserve to know Weezer’s price tag EDITOR-in-Chief

Last Wednesday wasn’t a slow news day. Still, some readers suggested that our staff was grasping for stories when we published in Thursday’s newspaper that Ohio State officials refuse to divulge how much they paid Weezer to perform Friday on campus. Every student should be concerned about that. Weezer’s performance — and all others hosted by the Ohio Union Activities Board — would be impossible without the activity fee that all students pay. As a public institution, the university should release how it uses that money, according to Ohio’s open records laws. University officials, though, hide behind an exception to the law, claiming that how they spend that money is a “trade secret.” Revealing booking costs to the public — and competing concert venues — would put them at a disadvantage when they negotiate the price tag for big acts, officials contend. Columbus attorney Fred Gittes blasted a hole in that notion in a June 3 Lantern article. The “trade secrets” exception is valid only if bands and their booking agencies treat those costs as confidential information, Gittes said. But some college booking agencies advertise those costs on their websites — even for bands that OUAB has brought to the university. We weren’t surprised last

COLLIN BINKLEY binkley.44@osu.edu week when officials stuck to their guns and refused to reveal Weezer’s payout. After all, we’re just students. When journalists at The Columbus Dispatch put pressure on OSU officials to release how much they paid controversial humorist Tucker Max to come to the university in May 2009, university leaders came clean. Lantern reporters had asked earlier, but that wasn’t enough. And even that glimpse of transparency apparently was a one-time deal. But complying with the law can’t be a one-time deal. So I have a response to a reader who was aggravated by our article. “Are you going to continue to bring this up for EVERY OUAB event?” the reader asked on our website. Until we know how student money is spent, yes. Yes we will.

CODY COUSINO / Assistant photo editor Scott Shriner, bassist for Weezer, performs at OUAB’s Welcome Week Concert 2010 in the South Oval on Friday. Although the organization used money from student fees to bring the band to campus, officials say those costs are ‘trade secrets’ and not subject to Ohio’s open-record laws.

Students toting iPods at night are a robber’s best friend LANTERN Columnist

A year ago, my roommate was walking home on High Street in the early morning hours the day before Thanksgiving, his birthday. He had consumed a few drinks but was in no way belligerent and was walking with a friend. He was merely a couple blocks from our apartment when a man came up from behind and landed a right hook to the base of his jaw, immediately dropping him unconscious on the sidewalk. He awoke hours later in a hospital bed. BRAD MILLER The concussion he suffered kept miller.4410@osu.edu him from competing in intramural sports the remainder of the year. Three of his teeth were knocked out, and his jaw was fractured and subsequently wired shut. For six weeks, his meals consisted of anything that could fit through a straw. Sometimes your safety is completely out of your control. But to the extent that people can protect themselves, some might as well paint bull’s-eyes on their chests. It is surprising how comfortable many people feel walking around campus at night listening to their iPods. That device makes it impossible to detect anyone approaching you outside your line of vision. Doing this during the day, surrounded by thousands of other people, is much different than doing it at night, when the sidewalks are mostly bare. If you cannot completely detach yourself from your playlist, listening through just one ear bud can be a big improvement. Many others walk, heads down, incessantly texting like they have no other responsibilities in the world. This also can divert a person’s

“

attention enough to set them up for an unwanted visit. And when you’re talking to a friend on your cell phone, it is a good idea to let that person know where you are or at least where you are coming from. That way, if your friend senses that you’re in danger, he or she will know generally where to find you or send police. Other safety tips: Keep a comfortable distance between yourself and the corners of buildings, walk quickly and in well-lit areas, and have your BuckID or key ready when you get home. Just giving the appearance of alertness makes a big difference. After all, the criminals, thugs and losers who do horrible things are not looking for a challenge. They’re looking for the unsuspecting, the unaware and the unprepared. Truthfully, the chances of being attacked are pretty slim. But inevitably, an area this large and densely populated will foster some violence. And it only takes one moment of lapsed judgment to become a victim. No innocent or upstanding person deserves to be harmed. No one has the right to mistreat another. Unfortunately, however, not everyone lives by those standards. Therefore, do your best to stay alert and stay safe, because eating with a fork and spoon is not something that should be taken for granted.

that will decide the fate for many graduating in the next four years. Yet Gov. Ted Strickland and challenger John Kasich so far have declined invitations to meet with Lantern staff. It would be swell if they could take time away from throwing jabs at each other to learn what students — one of the largest voting blocks in the state — think about the issues.

interpretations of the Constitution are an affront to elementary reading comprehension. Is there no candidate who comes from a broken home, who was an intelligent but average student, and who has a misdemeanor he or she is deeply remorseful about? A candidate who has some embarrassing party pictures on MySpace — yeah, MySpace. Give me candidates who have seen the error of their ways and want to make a difference via experience. I want a candidate who asks, “Why is it Wall Street versus Main Street?” I don’t live or work on either of those streets. Most of us coming out of college will work on King Avenue or High Street while living on Chittenden — if we’re lucky enough to get a job. The good news is that we have a university teeming with possibility. Change comes slowly, so we might be waiting on one of our freshmen to make the difference, but the change must come. I know there is one of you out there who has the mustard seed of potential and the fertile soil of desire to lead the change. Plant that seed, water it with the support of your peers, and grow to be the change that we so desperately need.

Let’s kill stereotype of U.S. ignorance If you ran into a complete stranger on an American street, there’s a huge chance that the general lack of any political knowledge will make you extremely uncomfortable. According to a variety of polls, nearly two-thirds of Americans can’t name a single Supreme Court justice. One percent could name all nine. Though 75 percent of us can quickly name the three stooges, only 42 percent can name the three branches of government. About one in every four Americans can name more than one of the First Amendment freedoms. Perhaps the most tragic statistic yet: a solid 26 percent of us don’t know that we declared our independence from Great Britain. I haven’t even brought up our lack of scientific knowledge or our hidden dashes of racism. Take for example the general American opinion regarding the summer’s heated debate about a proposed mosque in New York City. Apart from the scary fact that one-fourth of Americans think that our churchgoing Christian president is in fact a closeted Muslim, the racism toward Muslims was unnerving. About a third of us actually believe Muslims should be barred from running for the

Ideal political candidate? Someone like you and me It’s election season again and that’s the bad news. Why is it bad news? How come I’m not celebrating the time of year when we get to act on our cherished beliefs of liberty and hope, of independence and change, of justice and free speech? You would think this changing of the guard would be heralded with mirth, that I would be grateful to live in a country that can change its stripes mid-step and correct the erroneous path it had embarked upon. Well... The fact is: I am proud to be an American. I am. I am chauvinistic in my love for this country and that is why election season is depressing. It’s as if America and I are breaking up over and over and, honestly, it sucks. Please don’t misunderstand me; I don’t want my country, back. I’m not so lost in my own zealotry for a better America that I think this country has gone anywhere we haven’t led it. But I do want it to be a better America. Students of Ohio State, ask yourselves if you are happy with the way things are. Ask yourselves if you feel well-represented. I don’t, and our candidates are abysmal. We have a gubernatorial race

HANY RASHWAN rashwan.1@osu.edu presidency or being selected to the Supreme Court. I bring this up because we’re in the midst of an important election season. The November midterm elections will affect our political policies for the next few years. We also face a plethora of foreign problems and domestic issues. Our political ignorance is nothing new. Similar statistics show that a majority of Americans in the 1990s and 1980s had trouble naming their representatives or the process of their government. The problem this time is the fact that there’s just so much at stake. For our democracy to prosper, we need to ensure that we, voters, are properly educated about those running

and the issues. Rather than simply turn on the television and hear O’Reilly or Olbermann tell us what we should think, let’s take a step back and for once research these things for ourselves. Let’s contact our representatives. Let’s see their voting records and finally understand or attempt to grasp the issues. The future of our country and of democracy is largely dependent on our actions and, at the present time, we don’t deserve that awesome power. Let’s change that.

Two alumni go ya

rd in new com e

Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Among the genres of comedy, one is particularly prominent: screwball comedy. Ohio State alumni Ross Patterson and Tommy Reid got to take the term a tad more literal than most. “Screwball: The Ted Whitfield Story” follows the nation’s turn to professional wiffle ball in light of the 1994 Major League Baseball strike. Patterson, a funnyordie.com contributor, plays Ted “The Wiffler” Whitfield, a Babe Ruth figure for professional wiffle ball. However, the movie ends up being a send-up of modern Major League Baseball. Aside from being set during the strike, Whitfield turns to steroids in his pursuit of the league’s home run record. Reid, the producer and director, said the idea for the screenplay originated as a television pitch for ESPN. “Ross gave me a short story about Ted Whitfield and his chase for the home run record,” he said.

FRIDAY

“It was originally scripted for a half-hour show on ESPN, but they ended up going for nonfiction shows instead.” The screenplay was adapted in “mockumentary” style, similar to the cult-classic comedy “Spinal Tap.” Patterson said his experience playing wiffle ball as a child made it relatively easy for him to step into the role of a professional player. “We shot at a Little League park, the walls were about 200 feet,” he said with faux grandeur. “I literally hit the ball out of the field. That’s how good I am. I’m a gifted individual.” Despite Patterson’s apparent talent for the game,

“

”

the cast went out before shooting began to prepare for the action. “No bulls---,” Patterson said. “We went out a couple of weeks before shooting to get used to the curves of the wiffle ball.” Patterson said not everyone in the cast caught on as easily as him. “Joey Kern was terrible,” he said of the actor playing pitcher Willie “High-Sox” Hamilton. “The pitcher could not throw a pitch to save his life. He was like Jim Abbott (former Major League one-armed pitcher) throwing with the wrong arm.” Reid said that coming up with rules for the theoretical wiffle ball league wasn’t difficult, they just used the rules from Patterson’s league.

“Everyone has their own version of their own wiffle ball league,” Reid said. “Ross had his own version (as a child). For the league, we used that version.” Patterson and Reid both harbored memories from the 1994 strike, even if professional wiffle ball wasn’t one of them. Patterson, a native Georgian, remembers that the strike let his Braves off the hook. “I’m a diehard fan. Montreal was ahead of us by six games. They would’ve beaten us,” he said. “I was psyched about it. I didn’t care that they went on strike.” “Screwball” isn’t headed to any theaters around the Columbus area, but on Oct. 1 it will be available via iTunes, Netflix and other on-demand videostreaming sites. The DVD will come out in January. The pair said the October release date was chosen to line up with the fever pitch surrounding Major League Baseball as the playoff push occurs. The film is the second the duo has completed together. The unlikelihood of their initial meeting makes their partnership seem almost like fate. Reid, originally from New Jersey, was an economics major at OSU while Patterson pursued journalism. They met during a theater class and struck up a friendship. Reid graduated from OSU in 1997 and went on to earn a film degree from New York University. Patterson graduated in 1999 and followed in Reid’s footsteps, also getting a theater degree from NYU. Although both attended NYU to get involved with filmmaking, as OSU does not have a film program, they still pack plenty of Buckeye pride. During a conference call with The Lantern, the two were busy watching the Buckeyes pummel Eastern Michigan University. Eddie George also made an appearance in their last film together in 2007’s “7-10 Split.” The two said there isn’t a third project in sight yet. “Not right now, but hey, you never know in the future,” Patterson said. Patterson’s final comment on the film, along the lines of his wiffle-ball-playing claims, was “Screwball” is to movies somewhat like what Babe Ruth was to baseball in his day. “It’s the greatest movie ever made.”

Vocalist and guitarist Rivers Cuomo and Weezer got the crowd involved by distributing inflatable balls.

Weezer draws record crowd to Oval Alex Antonetz Senior Lantern reporter antonetz.3@osu.edu With the new Ohio Union as a backdrop, thousands of students braved intermittent showers and muggy weather Friday night to rock out to rock act Weezer as part of the Ohio Union Activities Board’s annual Welcome Week concert. Taking the stage on the South Oval 37 minutes after opening acts Town Monster and Chelsea Automatic wrapped up, the band came out to eager patrons. The band opened with “Hash Pipe” before continuing on to play most of its familiar tunes. Weezer’s 17-song set included hits “Troublemaker,” “Sweater” and “Holiday.” The band also performed “Memories,” the first single from the band’s latest album, “Hurley,” which hit stores Sept. 14. Charismatic lead singer Rivers Cuomo

tossed water and beach balls into the crowd and even perched himself on the stage’s scaffolding while performing. During the rendition of “Beverly Hills,” Cuomo left the stage and strolled around the 12th Avenue side of the South Oval before perching himself on a hospitality tent in the middle of the crowd. Cuomo then slowly crowd surfed back to the stage in his first crowd surfing attempt “in many, many years,” according to the band’s MySpace blog. “Come on, you guys,” Cuomo pleaded to the audience members pushing him along. “Almost there!” Weezer finished the show with a cover medley of MGMT’s “Kids” and Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” before an encore of “(If You’re Wondering if I Want You To) I Want You To” and a rousing version of “Buddy Holly,” which ended with all the band members taking to the drum set. More than 10,000 people attended the show, making it more popular than the 2008

show on the South Oval featuring The Roots and Billy Currington, said Linnea Larson, OUAB concert chair. “The Welcome Week concert … was among the highest attended OUAB events in recent years,” she said in an e-mail. After the show, some concert-goers said they were in awe. “They were awesome live,” said first-year Phil Goerig about Weezer’s performance. “I was impressed.” Samantha Glasser, a first-year in history who described herself as “a little bit” of a Weezer fan before the concert, left pleasantly surprised. “I didn’t think they would be that good live,” she said. Valerie Goerig, a fourth-year in hospitality management, also enjoyed the show. “It was amazing,” she said.

Dane Sanzenbacher didn’t expect to catch four touchdowns. He didn’t anticipate the Ohio State offense hanging 73 points on an opponent, either. The No. 2 Buckeyes (4-0) eclipsed the 40-point mark for the third time in four games, cruising to a 73-20 win over lowly Eastern Michigan (0-4) on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The 73 points mark the most OSU has scored in coach Jim Tressel’s 10 seasons in Columbus and the most for the Buckeyes since dropping 83 points on Iowa in 1950. “You never come into a game expecting to do that,” Sanzenbacher said. “I think as an offense, we don’t come into the game planning on 73 points, either, but sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time.” Quarterback Terrelle Pryor

Something happened during the 41 days between Ohio State’s 21-10 victory at Michigan last November and the Rose Bowl. Coach Jim Tressel took the training wheels off Terrelle Pryor’s bike. The quarterback threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 72 yards in leading OSU to its ÿrst bowl win in four tries. Tressel has demonstrated even more leniency in Pryor’s junior year. Tressel often refers to Pryor as a perfectionist. The quarterback had plenty to keep himself busy with after laying an egg in a loss at Purdue last October. In that game, Pryor committed four turnovers, constantly forcing the issue and paying the price. Following the defeat, Tressel morphed the offense from Pryorcentric into run-focused. The Buckeyes relied on the legs of “Boom” and “Zoom,” taking the pressure off their work-in-progress signal-caller. As a result, OSU stormed through the toughest section of its schedule, disposing of Penn State, Iowa and Michigan in succession in November to capture a ÿfth-consecutive conference title. But Tressel knew that at some point, he would have to re-instill trust in his quarterback. Pryor didn’t let him down against Oregon. And now, after a summer of further progression, Pryor seems up to the task at hand. Namely, playing the role of leader and offensive centerpiece for a championship contender. And Tressel isn’t shying away from maximizing his exploits. Through four games, the Heisman contender has averaged

Right place, right time: Pryor finds Sanzenbacher in end zone early, often BLAKE WILLIAMS Senior Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu Dane Sanzenbacher tied an Ohio State record with four touchdown receptions Saturday against Eastern Michigan. He shares the record with Terry Glenn and Bob Grimes.

“Sometimes you just … get in the right place at the right time,” Sanzenbacher said. Sanzenbacher hauled in nine catches for 108 yards. The nine grabs tie his career high set in last season’s Rose Bowl game against Oregon. “It’s all according to who is open,” coach Jim Tressel said. “Dane was the guy that popped open.” Sanzenbacher “popped open” enough to set the record in just less than three quarters of work. The

As injuries mount, secondary struggles against passing game TRAVIS KOZEK Senior Lantern reporter kozek.2@osu.edu While the Buckeye victory was never in doubt during the 73-20 rout of Eastern Michigan on Saturday, OSU’s secondary appeared to be a bit suspect. Missing key contributors such as Chimdi Chekwa, C.J. Barnett, Travis Howard and Nate Oliver from the defensive backÿeld, the silver bullet defense surrendered its highest point total of the

season, giving up ÿve completions of 20 yards or more, including touchdown passes of 13 and 32 yards. At times, the Eagles aerial attack exploited the banged-up Buckeye secondary. “It’s deÿnitely unacceptable. You don’t want that to happen,” cornerback Devon Torrence said about the numerous big plays surrendered by the secondary. “But those guys are on scholarship, too, and they’re going to make plays, but you don’t want those types of things to happen … so you have to keep

second-team offense entered the game with 1:15 left in the third quarter. The scores came on receptions of seven, eight, nine and 31 yards. Sanzenbacher gave credit to his quarterback. “Terrelle (Pryor) put the ball on the money for me,” he said. “I think you saw that throughout the game … (Pryor) is in a situation where he is going to throw it to the open guy.” The touchdowns not only tied an OSU record but set a personal record for Sanzenbacher.

“This is probably the most I’ve scored (in any game at any level),” he said. The fact that the ÿrst-team offense focused more on the pass than the run helped Sanzenbacher enter the record books. “When you have more success passing the ball, you need to pass until they can stop it,” senior guard Justin Boren said. Sanzenbacher agreed.

Running backs quiet as OSU relies on Pryor’s arm BLAKE WILLIAMS Senior Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu Despite putting up 73 points of offense against Eastern Michigan Saturday, concerns remain in the Buckeyes’ running game. “Their game plan was probably to stop the run since we’re a team that likes to set up the run ÿrst,” wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. Dan Herron managed just 56 yards on the ground on 12 carries, and Brandon Saine had just three carries for 11 yards. “There was an extra safety down about four yards from the line of scrimmage every time we had two backs, and they weren’t going to just let us line up and run the ball,” coach Jim Tressel said.
