President Roderick McDavis had a message for all Ohio Uni-
versity freshmen during the annual presidents convocation for
first-year students: OU is not a party school and being seen as
such can be dangerous for the university.
The value of an OU degree may decrease because of this repu-
tation, and people can die from too much alcohol, McDavis said
in the Convocation Center yesterday.
Let the class of 2015 be an end to the party-school reputation,
McDavis said. You did not come here to see how much beer you
can consume on a Friday night. You came here for a degree.
McDavis told the audience about failing his first test as a fresh-
man at OU. Instead of giving up, he found help and changed his
study habits. In order to succeed in college, freshmen may need
to change the way they study, McDavis said.
It is our responsibility to lift you up, he said. We do not
want anyone to leave here without that degree.
After the ceremony, freshmen were able to browse through
272 student organizations at the Involvement Fair.
The event, which originally was to be held on College Green,
was moved to the inside and outside ring of The Convo because
of the rain.

Ohio Universitys residential greens were dotted with lime green this
weekend as more than 600 OU students and employees donned Go
Green T-shirts, hefted boxes and welcomed new students to campus.
More than 540 OU students and 100 staff volunteered for OUs
Go Green initiative, which provided move-in help for freshmen and
sophomores living in the residence halls.
This years student volunteer turnout topped last years by more
than 200, Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi said.
Lombardi helped with the move-in efforts, reacquainting himself
with students and families he had met earlier in the summer at OUs
freshmen orientation sessions.
Im not lifting boxes; Im going around, visiting families and say-
ing hi, Lombardi said. Its the volunteers around campus who are
doing the literal heavy lifting.
Lombardi has welcomed students during move-in each year
since he began working at OU; this was his fourth year participating
in the move-in efforts.
Ohio University President Roderick McDavis and Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Kent Smith traditionally help with move-
in as well but were absent this year because of OUs Board of
Trustees meetings in Columbus last Thursday.

An Ohio University student

studying special education and
dance died in a car accident Sunday.
Senior Gloria Dawes, 22, from
Adena, Ohio, was involved in a fa-
tal crash on I-77, near Byesville,
in Guernsey County. At about 4:15
p.m. the car she was driving crossed
through the median and was struck
by a car being driven by Ronald J
Stemberger, 51, of Garfeld Heights,
Ohio, according to the crash report.
She died at the scene as a re-
sult of the injuries sustained in the
crash. Her pas-
senger, 23-year-
old Ryan Payne,
an OU graduate,
was transported
to Southeastern
Ohio Regional
Medical Center
and later to Grant
Medical Center in Columbus with
serious injuries.
OU offcials say they learned of
the accident yesterday.
Our hearts and thoughts go out
to the family; it is a tragedy, said
Kent Smith, OUs vice president of
Student Affairs.
Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi
said the university would contact Glo-
rias family soon to send condolences.
Her dream was to use dance
to reach out to sick children and
to travel, said Glorias mother,
Shelley Dawes.
She loved OU and was so excited
to start this year.
Gloria began studying at West Vir-
ginia University. She came down to
visit (OU) and loved the adventure
and excitement of OU loved it
all, Shelley said.
She was a very adventurous per-
son and liked the opportunity to meet
so many other people, she added.
Gloria was a member and vice
president of the Student Council
for Exceptional Children, as well as
a member of OUs chapter of Sigma
Alpha Lambda, a national leader-
ship and honors organization.
Funeral services will be held
at 1:00 p.m. Friday at St. Adalbert
Church, Dillonvale, Ohio.
The cause of the crash is still
under investigation, according to
the report.
Memorial contributions can be
sent to the Gloria Dawes Dance
Scholarship Fund, c/o Oglebay In-
stitute Dance Dept., 1330 National
Rd., Wheeling, WV 26003.

Although Athens City School

District administrators had some
success balancing their budget
during the summer months,
state budget cuts have darkened
the districts fnancial forecast
and could lead the district to
close one of its fve elementary
schools.
Because of loss of revenue,
ACS projected a budget defcit
of nearly $550,000 for the 2011-
2012 academic year. The district
received $1.2 million from the
tangible personal property tax
in fscal year 2011, a revenue
source it can no longer expect to
tap into to balance the books in
the future.
The original plan was to phase
the tax which is levied on any
equipment or inventory used by
businesses out by 2018, but
Gov. John Kasich accelerated the
process as part of his efforts to
attract business to the state. Now,
the tax will be lifted by 2013.
ACS will receive about
$800,000 in 2012 and $200,000 in
2013 from the tax.
Overall, state funding for edu-
cation will increase by about 2.5
percent, or $150 million by 2013,
but this year, the state education
budget is already 6 percent lower
than in 2011.
The state classifes ACS as Ur-
ban/Suburb - High Income, while
every other district in the county is
classifed as Rural/Agriculture
Low Income. However, 34 percent
of ACS students were considered
economically disadvantaged by
the state in 2011.
Because of ACS high clas-
sifcation, it receives the least
amount of state money per pu-
pil in the county. In 2011, ACS
received almost $3,700 per pupil
50 percent less funding than
the next-closest school district,
which was Federal Hocking at
$5,452.55 per pupil.
To stay solvent, ACS brings in
millions every year through an
Emergency Replacement Levy
Budget cuts
could cause
Athens to
close school

In the summer months, Athens other two newspapers have
called for the resignation of Athens County Commissioner Mark
Sullivan. Despite charges levied against him by his estranged wife,
we are not willing to take that step.
During the past 18 months, Sullivan pleaded guilty to disor-
derly conduct after domestic disturbances in his home and was
arrested for disorderly conduct at a bar in Nelsonville. Most re-
cently, he has been accused of
growing marijuana at his Mill-
field residence.
Together, all these incidences
are still not enough to demand
for his resignation. The Ohio at-
torney general is still investigat-
ing these accusations, and its
important to remember that, in
America, a person is innocent
until proven guilty.
With the marijuana accusa-
tions put aside, Sullivans sins
consist of only isolated incidents stemming from what is clearly
a rocky personal life. A few misdemeanors unrelated to his per-
formance in a public office are not enough to ask a productive
county commissioner to step down after 14 years of service.
By all accounts, Sullivan has done an outstanding job as a
county commissioner. If the accusations do not affect his job per-
formance, then there is no reason for him to abdicate his office
based on misperceptions and hearsay.
Fellow Commissioner Lenny Eliason said Sullivans perfor-
mance has not suffered because of the allegations and that, for
now, there is no reason to step down.
Theres no question Sullivan has problems he needs to deal
with at home. The repeated reports of domestic violence within
the Sullivan home, as well as marital disputes that have played
out in the media, are disturbing and have cast a negative light on
his public office.
But before these incidents, Sullivan has maintained a clean re-
cord.
Sullivan is up for re-election next year. If the voters truly feel
that the recent trouble in his private life has affected his public
performance, then the polls will reveal so.
Meanwhile, the states investigation into the marijuana accu-
sations remains ongoing. Its not clear whether any of the most
recent allegations leveled at Sullivan will be substantiated.
But until then, Sullivan owes it to his constituents to remain in
the office he has held for more than a decade.

THE
P O S T C O L U M N
Labor Day holiday a gift from union workers
Fame: Only a name we can claim for ourselves
The summer was a bout of sleep, work
and episodes of Pretty Little Liars and
The Real Housewives of both New Jersey
and New York.
It is no wonder why I was so tired at
the end of the day. With sleeping until
noon and hardly remembering what I
learned this past year at school, I had
little time to see friends.
However, this summer has brought
me perspective yes, eye-opening per-
spective.
It all starts with a moronic pact that
I made with a friend: We decided one
night that we would take our talent
and audition for American Idol.
When summer hit, we werent sure we
could cross this item off our bucket list.
The week before the audition, I had
this epiphany. I was folding my work
shirt when I realized there are some
things in life that seem stupid and care-
less, but if I didnt do this audition now, I
probably never would.
All of a sudden, I started having these
thoughts pop into my mind about my
glamorous singing career: all the calls
and Facebook posts I would get from the
people in high school who were mean
to me, saying how much they loved me
and how they always knew I would be
famous.
I started to really believe my own
thoughts. So I scheduled off work and
started to pack for the American Idol au-
ditions in Pittsburgh, Penn. My friend
and I thought we were on the road to su-
per stardom.
Long story short, we didnt make it. I
sang one bar of a silly song, and my voice
immediately cracked.
I almost laughed.
I had gotten myself so worked up that
I realized I wasnt soaking in the moment
at all.
So I let myself sing the last few words.
I smiled from ear to ear and really looked
in to the eyes of the judges before me.
I sang horribly.
No, really it was bad.
I am not going to lie; I was pretty em-
barrassed and still am.
After all, the strangely entertaining
guy waiting next to me was completely
tone deaf and got through. I was even
wearing a really cute, new outfit and
kissing up to the judges. I wish I were
tone deaf and could make it on televi-
sion.
Can you say fame hungry?
If you are wondering about my friend,
he did just about as well as I did. I am
still proud of us though the American
Idol Rejects or as the producers nicely
told us, the non-winners.
My summer was mostly uneventful,
yet I still felt as if I had rubbed shoulders
with the stars.
But heres the real lesson I took from
this experience: Celebrity is something
we all create.
It is how we look at someone and
know there is something worth watching
and waiting for.
I might never have a singing career,
but I know that, to someone, I am a ce-
lebrity. Sure, I might not be as polished
or as wealthy as a pop princess, but at
least I can say there are no scandals to
tell about me ... yet.
In the meantime though, I must live
vicariously through the scandals of Hol-
lywood and take plenty of notes.
I look forward to entertaining with
juicy gossip and my take on certain is-
sues.
Oh, and try to spot me in the open-
ing shots of the Pittsburgh auditions
next year. Ill be the little dot wearing an
adorable blue dress and yellow scarf.
I know, how could they have said no
to me?

Enjoy your Labor Day holiday?
The reason we celebrate Labor Day is
largely due to the contributions made by
unions to the betterment of Americas
workers. The numerous beneficial influ-
ences of organized labor cannot be ig-
nored.
Most of the benefits workers now en-
joy are directly attributable to unions.
To cite but a few: the 40-hour work
week, paid holidays and vacations, sick
leave, grievance procedures, collective
bargaining and generally superior wag-
es.
Unfortunately, succeeding genera-
tions have come to take those benefits
for granted.
Those benefits came about because
of unions and soon became the norm
for union workers and many non-union
workers as well.
All American workers owe a debt
of gratitude to organized labor for its
achievements.

Feminist choir radiates a sense of belonging
Last year, I attended the first of two
open rehearsals of Calliope Femi-
nist Choir on a whim. I had been a singer
in high school but fell out of practice my
first few years of college, and Calliope
sounded like a great way to get music
back into my life.
After a low-stress audition to test my
range, the director placed me in the so-
prano section. I was immediately wel-
comed by the women around me, who
ranged in age from early 20s to 70s.
The enthusiasm in the room was in-
escapable. I knew by the end of that
first rehearsal that I would be sticking
around.
And Im so glad I did: Calliope was
a soul-renewing escape during my busy
senior year.
It was wonderful to be surrounded
by inspiring women on a regular basis,
and my fellow choir members showed
appreciation for my presence as well;
several of them expressed their joy that
there were still young women around
who proudly declared themselves femi-
nists.
I strongly encourage any woman in
Athens to join Calliope, but Im speak-
ing particularly to my fellow young fem-
inists.
Calliope is a great way to bridge the
second and third wave gap while mak-
ing beautiful music.
There will be open rehearsals on Sept.
12 and 19 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran
Church on Mill Street.
Anyone interested in joining is asked
to arrive a little early, sometime after
5:30 p.m., for a gentle audition and voice
placement. Call (740) 662-2022 with any
questions.

No Resignation
A few misdemeanors
unrelated to his performance
in a public offce are not
enough to ask a productive
county commissioner to
step down after 14 years of
service.
Sullivan should stay in offce
for remainder of elected term

and a 1 percent income tax. If ei-
ther the levy or the tax were ever
to be voted down, ACS would
have to make drastic cuts to its
budget, district administrators
said. These cuts could include
extensive teacher layoffs or the
closing of an elementary school.
In the early 2000s, ACS Super-
intendent Carl Martin and Dis-
trict Treasurer Matt Bunting de-
veloped a 10-year fnancial plan
for the district.
We built up a reserve to help
us get through lean times, and
we are in lean times now, Bun-
ting said. We have to make bud-
get reductions, and we are in the
process of doing that.
Martin says the district has
handled the $550,000 defcit
without fring any teachers,
however one custodial position
at Athens High School has been
cut. The district chose not to fll
fve open positions from faculty
who had retired or resigned.
The district is also weighing
the option of closing one of its
fve elementary schools.
I think there is a good poten-
tial for moving to four elemen-
tary schools from fve, Martin
said, adding the decision would

not be made hastily.
District leaders say student
demographics, housing and bus
routes all would be studied in de-
tail before a decision was made.
Several of the elementary
(schools) need work, Martin
said. The consolidation would
mean potentially looking for four
good, modern facilities that are
more energy effcient, he added.
Bunting said public meetings
concerning district budget cuts
will happen, giving citizens a
chance to weigh in on what they
believe should be cut.
Our goal was to make cuts
through a process of attrition
(without fring teachers and cut-
ting programs), but thats harder
to do with a seven fgure cut,
Bunting said.
With the weather forecast,
we felt this was the best way,
administrative assistant Anna
Addington said. This way, we
can accommodate all of the
student organizations.
This was the frst time the In-
volvement Fair was held at The
Convo. In the past, it has been
held in Baker University Center
when it rained, but ftting thou-
sands of people in the building
had become a safety concern,
Addington added.
Theres just so many people
packed in, but I guess theres noth-
ing you can do about it, freshman
Nicki Wellder said. The event is a
good way to recruit new members,
sophomore Rec Club member
Tina Leszkiewicz said.
Were hoping for as many as
we can get; were a small organi-
zation, but were hoping to ex-
pand as big as possible, Leszkie-
wicz said.
College Democrats member
Nick Tuell was also in attendance,
helping students register to vote
and recruiting new members.
Its a pretty big election year,
and were just trying to fnd some
new people that share the same
values, Tuell said.
Freshman Lindsey
Trischler said the efforts
of Go Green volunteers
made her transition into
the dorms easier.
It was really easy, and
it was really organized and
everything, she said.
Lombardi said his aim
in assisting with move-in
is to reinforce his welcome
from summer orientation
and to facilitate early re-
lationships with students.
Lombardi encourages
students to take advan-
tage of his office hours
and to reach out to him if
they have questions.
I would say my student
engagement is very high,
he said.
During the weekend,
freshmen were also invit-
ed to participate in Bobcat
Bash in Baker University
Center, a Friday evening
event featuring games and
food and A Year in a Day,
an all-day event Saturday
on South Beach featuring

COLUMBUS Ohio Univer-

sitys deferred maintenance levels
could reach a dangerous tipping
point in less than a decade if the
university maintains its current
investment levels.
During its quarterly meet-
ing held last week, OUs Board of
Trustees discussed the univer-
sitys maintenance backlog, which
has reached $355 million. By the
boards next meeting in Novem-
ber, the university will be better
equipped to make a plan to offset
the costs, OU President Roderick
McDavis said.
We havent heard anything yet
(from the state), McDavis said.
We hope that there will be con-
versations about a capital bill, but
at this time, we have not been in-
formed that the conversation has
been initiated.
Deferred maintenance refers
to the cost of property repairs and
projects the university has put on
hold because of budgetary limita-
tions.
In 2008, the Ohio Board of Re-
gents appointed a consulting frm
called Sightlines LLC to analyze
the ability of universities in Ohio
to manage their facilities. Sight-
lines compared OU to 13 other
universities in Ohio with simi-
larities in size, region, geographic
location or setting, according to
a memo Stephen Golding, vice
president for Finance and Admin-
istration, presented to the board.
The frms report for OU, which
includes six years of data through
fscal year 2010, places OUs de-
ferred maintenance backlog for
the main campus at $355 million.
This amounts to about $71
of backlogged deferred mainte-
nance backlog per every square
foot of asset at the time of the re-
port Golding estimated that
number now has reached $78 per
gross square foot.
This deferred maintenance was
exacerbated by OUs low histori-
cal investment and cuts to the fa-
cilities operating budget, accord-
ing to the report.
However, a low manager-to-
staff ratio in Facilities, efforts in
preventative maintenance and
lowered energy consumption
have reduced the effects of de-
ferred maintenance, according to
the report.
Universities that reach a de-
ferred-maintenance backlog of
$100 per square foot experience
a range of operational problems
from costly emergency repairs to
complete building shutdowns,
according to Goldings memo.
At its current investment levels,
OU will reach this tipping point
by 2020, Trustee Sandra Anderson
said.
DEBT POLICY
OU received a report from an-
other company, the PFM Group,
which estimated that OU could
take on between $245 million to
$350 million in debt during the
next fve years without a great risk
to the universitys fnancial rat-
ings.
As with any issuance, the rat-
ing agencies would clearly be in-
terested in ensuring that the debt
were being used strategically and
aligned with the Universitys mis-
sion, Golding stated in another
memo to the trustees.
To better process and manage
OUs debt, the board passed a
resolution to approve a new debt
policy at Thursdays meeting.
The policy addresses effective
ways to use debt to fund capital
projects.
Debt, especially tax-exempt
debt, provides a low-cost source
of capital with which the Univer-
sity can fund capital investments
to achieve its mission and strate-
gic objectives, the policy states.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
The trustees passed a reso-
lution regarding three capital
projects that would allow the
university to move forward with
developing construction plans,
seeking bids and entering into
construction contracts.
The frst project would reno-
vate the Athena Classroom with
an approved budget of $930,000
from the university reserves, and
the second would facilitate im-
provements to the Central Food
Facility in fscal year 2012 with a
total budget of $5,100,000 from
the Culinary Auxiliary reserves,
according to the resolution.
The fnal project would cre-
ate entry improvements for OUs
southern campus with a total

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
McDavis updated the board
on the Promise Lives fundraising
campaign progress. The universi-
ty has raised $345 million toward
its goal of $450 million.
The campaign was boosted by
the announcement of a $105 mil-
lion gift from the Osteopathic Her-
itage Foundations. OUs College of
Osteopathic Medicine will use the
gift, which will be portioned out to
the college during the upcoming
years, to fund a number of initia-
tives, including a regional exten-
sion campus in Columbus and
diabetes and neuromusculoskel-
etal centers in Athens.
Were moving so nicely along
in our campaign; were right at 75
percent of our goal, and we still
have four years to go, McDavis
said.
He noted that OU might exceed
its $450 million target.
Bryan Benchoff, OUs new vice
president for University Advance-
ment, said in an interview with
The Post last spring that he does
not know whether OU will in-
crease its $450 million goal.

After facing domestic violence

charges earlier this year, County
Commissioner Mark Sullivan is
being investigated for allegedly
growing marijuana plants in the
backyard of his Millfeld home.
The Ath-
ens County
Sheriffs Of-
fce received
a call July 20
from the com-
mi ssi oners
e s t r a n g e d
wife, Tammie
Sullivan, who claimed marijuana
was being grown in the backyard
and dried inside their home. She
allegedly directed offcers to the
pot plants and presented them
with seeds. The offcers reportedly
recovered 39 plants.
A special prosecutor from the
Ohio Attorney Generals Offce
was appointed to take the case
upon request from Athens County
Prosecutor Keller Blackburn, said
Aaron Haslam, co-coordinator of
the Ohio Attorney Generals Spe-
cial Prosecutions Unit.
The offce received the case
fle from Blackburn August 15,
Haslam said.
(Blackburn) was concerned
about any confict he may have,
he said. (He wanted) to avoid the
appearance of any kind of impro-
priety on his behalf because he
does represent (Mark Sullivan) in
a legal capacity.
Sullivan could not be reached
for comment.
Before the marijuana allega-
tions, Sullivan was charged with
domestic violence in March. He
pleaded guilty to two counts of
disorderly conduct and was fned
$360, according to a previous Post
article.
Although Tammie admitted to
initiating the physical altercation,
Athens County Sheriff Pat Kelly
said she had some bruising and
blood on her face during a March
interview.
Tammie reportedly made a call
to the sheriff concerning domestic
violence complaints shortly be-
fore the July 20 incident. In mid-
July, she obtained a civil protec-
tion order against her husband
Mark from the Athens County
Common Pleas Court, alleging
that he had assaulted her and
threatened her life. However, she
later withdrew her request for the
protection order.
Well look in to that informa-
tion as a part of our investigations
to see if they coincide or have any
connection, Haslam said.
Though the matter is still under
investigation, Haslam said the re-
percussions of any kind of convic-
tion could force Sullivan to resign
or be removed from offce.
Potentially, he could be look-
ing at anything from a misde-
meanor, a drug possession charge,
a paraphernalia charge to felony
cultivation charges of marijuana,
Haslam said.
No fnal time frame has been
determined, but Haslam said
the Attorney Generals offce
is working expeditiously to
bring the investigations to a con-
clusion.
Therell be evidence analyzed,
witnesses interviewed, Haslam
said. Were going to treat this just
like we treat any other case and
move forward as quickly as pos-
sible on it.
Despite some pressure on Sul-
livan to step down, a fellow com-
missioner, Lenny Eliason, said he
does not think stepping down is
necessary.
He has been doing the things
he is required to do. He has been
coming to meetings and doing his

A new candidate was added to

a 2012 Democratic primary bal-
lot this past week, when Shade,
Ohio, resident Mike OBrien
announced his plans to run for
Athens County commissioner.
OBrien announced his can-
didacy for commissioner Thurs-
day and will run against incum-
bent Mark Sullivan.
I want to see the area pros-
per, OBrien said. This position
can allow me to make a differ-
ence.
County commissioners are re-
sponsible for creating and main-
taining jobs, delivering welfare,
and supervising environmental
protection, according to the Ath-
ens County
G o v e r n -
ment web-
site.
OBrien, a
17-year Ath-
ens County
r e s i d e n t ,
said he would focus on improv-
ing local jobs and infrastructure
and promoting sustainable agri-
culture.
As a former military man and
small-business owner, OBrien
said his wide breadth of expe-
rience would beneft him as a
county commissioner.
I come to the job with a com-
bination of professional and life
experiences grounded in a com-
mon sense approach to fnding
solutions one that brings peo-
ple together, OBrien said.
The recent controversy sur-
rounding Sullivan, one of three
current commissioners, did not
infuence OBrien to run.
In March of this year, Sulli-
van pleaded guilty to domestic
violence charges and is under
investigation for growing mari-
juana near his Millfeld home.
Im running based on my ex-
perience and to see the changes
to beneft (Athens) County, said
OBrien, a 2006 graduate of Ohio
University. Nothing else infu-
enced me.
Athens County Commission-
er Lenny Eliason said the voters
will make the changes they want
during next years elections.
Any change is always up to
the people, he said.

Executive Vice President and Pro-

vost Pam Benoit decided not to sign a
resolution Faculty Senate passed last
May regarding maternity, paternity
and adoption.
OUs current policy regarding perma-
nent full-time and part-time administra-
tors provides unpaid maternity leave as
well as time following maternity leave or
an adoption.
The resolution called for Ohio Univer-
sity to establish a Parental Leave Policy
modeled on the best practices of our peer
institutions.
We were disappointed because we
were looking for a stronger commit-
ment from the university, Faculty Senate
Chairman Joe McLaughlin said.
Benoit did not approve the resolution
because it called for immediate action,
she said in a letter to McLaughlin. In-
stead, Benoit will form a task force of fac-
ulty, staff and administrators this fall to
address the topic.
In her view, this was premature as suf-
ficient background work had not been
done on the possible costs of such a pol-
icy and how it might be implemented,
said Ann Fidler, Benoits chief of staff,
in an email. Instead the provost has
made a commitment to move forward on
doing the background work that is nec-
essary before making a decision about a
maternity/paternity policy.
The members of the task force will
be asked to consider the feasibility of
the different types of approaches used
by universities in addressing the issue
of maternity/paternity/adoption and
will present their recommendations to
the president in February, Benoit said in
the letter.
This year, Faculty Senate will work to
finish the switch from quarters to semes-
ters, which will happen next year.
I think were in a good place, especially
in terms of curriculum, McLaughlin said.
Decisions, such as class-drop dead-
lines, for next year still need to be estab-
lished, he added.
Faculty Senate will also look this year to
see how many faculty members accepted
the buyouts the university offered last
year. The positions lost need to be filled
with tenure-track faculty rather than tem-
porary staff.
I think its going to be a good year,
McLaughlin said. Theres a lot of impor-
tant work to be done.

Health care center set to open in Athens,
expected to hire more than 100 workers
SARA LOWENSTEIN
For The Post | sl642509@ohiou.edu

A new division of The Laurel
Health Care Company will call
Athens County home this fall, cre-
ating more than 100 jobs and a
higher standard of health care.
The new $15 million joint facil-
ity will be called The Laurels of
Athens and Maplewood of Athens,
Administrator Shaun Gentner
said, adding that the buildings
expected opening is tentative for
fall of this year.
Although the building itself has
been completed, the new road
that will lead to the facility, Co-
lumbus Circle, is still being con-
structed and is projected to finish
in October, said Bill Bias, project
director and Athens City Council
president.
(Columbus Circle) has been
a great frustration, Bias said.
What goes into road construc-
tion can be very time consuming.
Right now, we are literally sitting
on a $15 million investment (wait-
ing) for it to be open.
The Laurels of Athens and
Maplewood of Athens compose
one building licensed to hold a
maximum of 124 people, but each
specialize in different care and
services, Gentner said.
Though The Laurels is a skilled
nursing facility that deals directly
with sub-acute care, such as
assisting patients who are dis-
charged from hospitals, The
Maplewood is an assisted living
facility that focuses on helping
residents who are somewhat in-
dependent but need some basic
supervision in their lives.
Gentner said that a main rea-
son why this retirement center is
opening is due to Athens County
being approved for a Certificate of
Need.
The certificates review and
approval is required when a new
long-term care facility is built
and an increase of long-term care
bed capacity is implemented, ac-
cording to the Ohio Department
of Health.
After a Certificate of Need is
applied for, a decision is generally
made within four to six months as
to whether there is need for the
facility in the area, according to
the departments website.
Its nice to bring a facility like
this to an area that has maybe
been overlooked in the past,
Gentner said. I think we can
set and live up to a higher stan-
dard (of health care) and keep
people closer to home while cre-
ating a continuum of care.
Bias is also pleased that The
Laurel Health Care Company has
chosen Athens as its new home
and is optimistic about the 135
new jobs it has created.
We are very, very pleased to
have The Laurel company be the
operator of this new facility, Bias
said. I do not think that there
is a facility in Columbus that com-
pares with this. It is absolutely
beautiful.

After receiving mixed re-

views from the Ohio Depart-
ment of Education last year,
four of the five Athens County
school districts improved their
state report-card ratings for
the past academic year.
Each year, the ODE mea-
sures the performance of
school districts based on
a variety of data, includ-
ing student performance on
academic testing and gradua-
tion rates.
This year, Alexander Local
School District bumped its
rating from effective to ex-
cellent this year, and Athens
City Schools also improved
to excellent from its pre-
vious grade of continuous
improvement.
Federal Hocking Local
School District made signifi-
cant improvement, moving to
effective after being on aca-
demic watch during the 2009-
10 academic year.
In addition, Trimble Local
School District climbed up
to effective from a rating of
continuous improvement
rating last year.
Nelsonville-York City School
District was the only district in
the county whose rating fell,
sliding from excellent to ef-
fective.
The overall improvements
in Athens County were mir-
rored throughout the state
and show promise for higher
expectations that will arrive
in coming years, said State Su-
perintendent Stan Heffner in a
news release.
All Ohioans should be
proud of the hard work our stu-
dents, educators, and parents
and guardians have undertak-
en to improve performance,
Heffner said. We want to build
on the strong academic prog-
ress we are making.

Ohio Universitys Concert

Series has added four acts to
its Fall Quarter itinerary, with
a diverse group of performers
including comedian Aziz Ansari
to rock group O.A.R.
Its very intentional on my
part to bring in different acts
that can appeal to a lot of peo-
ple, said Andrew Holzaepfel,
associate director of Ohio Uni-
versitys Campus Involvement
Center and booking agent for
the Performing Arts Series and
the Concert Series. We dont
want anyone to feel that we
arent bringing anybody that in-
terests them.
In addition to O.A.R. and An-
sari, Mary Chapin Carpenter
and Janelle Mone have been
added to the Concert Series.
Carpenter is a fve-time
Grammy Award-winning sing-
er and songwriter. Most often
labeled a country artist, she
has enjoyed decades of suc-
cess, producing 12 albums. Her
most recent album, The Age of
Miracles, was released in 2010.
Throughout her career, she has
sold over 13 million albums,
with 1992s Come On Come On
going quadruple platinum.
Hot off tours with Bruno
Mars and Katy Perry, Mone
has been called one of the
most important signings of
my career by Sean Diddy
Combs. Mone comes to OU as
part of her Campus Conscious-
ness Tour. Half rock tour and
half environmental campaign,
the tours aim, according to
the Performing Arts website, is
to educate students by raising
awareness in an electric atmo-
sphere.
Tickets for both Carpenter
and Mone are currently on
sale.
Shifting from activism to hu-
mor, comedian and recent star
of the movie 30 Minutes or Less
Ansari will bring his standup to
Templeton-Blackburn Alumni
Memorial Auditorium. The
L.A.-based comedian is well-
known for his role in NBCs hit
show Parks and Recreation, as
well as his roles in I Love You,
Man, Funny People, Get Him to
the Greek and Observe and Re-
port. Tickets for Ansari are cur-
rently on sale.
Known as a favorite among
college students, O.A.R. comes
to OU along with special guest
Kingsfoil. The platinum-selling
band is passing through OU on
its tour promoting its seventh
studio album, King. Boasting
commercially successful sin-
gles such as Shattered, Love
and Memories and That Was
a Crazy Game of Poker, the
band plans to perform both old
favorites and music off the new
album. Tickets go on sale Friday
at noon.
Between the Concert Series
and the Performing Arts Series,
OU is currently set to bring 12
acts over the year, although
Holzaepfel said they are plan-
ning more. The current Concert
Series itinerary goes through
Fall Quarter, so shows will be
added for Winter and Spring
Quarters.
Its a bit like a puzzle, plan-
ning these shows, Holzaepfel
said. Generally, the performer
is going to be in one place one
day and another place a few
days later, so we have to fnd a
date in between those days. It
can be tricky.
Holzaepfel also said that in
booking new acts, the Campus
Involvement Center tried to
keep in mind that Mike Posner
will be performing in MemAud
Homecoming Weekend.
We didnt want to step on
the Posner shows audience,
so thats one of the reasons we
brought in someone like Aziz
(Ansari), he said.
The contracts for the acts
range from $17,000 (Carpenter)
to $50,000 (O.A.R.), although
these acts dont cost OU itself
money. Most of the money is
generated through ticket sales,
allowing OU to bring in big
names without losing money.
Although all of the shows this
fall will be in MemAud, Holza-
epfel said he hopes to bring in
another big name at The Con-
vo this spring. After the huge
success of the B.o.B. show last
spring, Holzaepfel said the ma-
jor show will hopefully be an
annual event.
More about the Performing
Arts Series, the Concert Series
and online ticket sales can be
found on the Performing Arts
website.

Veteran linemen on both

sides of the ball anchored an
otherwise inexperienced Bobcat
squad in their season opening
win Saturday.
A diverse ground attack and
special teams play paced Ohios
offense in its 44-24 victory
against New Mexico State.
Quarterback Tyler Tettleton
supplied four touchdowns in his
debut as a starter behind strong
protection from his offensive
line. The Bobcats defensive front
four squelched the Aggies rush-
ing game and pressured quarter-
back Andrew Manley into pass-
ing to gain any yardage.
I thought overall mentally,
we played a very good game in
terms of where we were sup-
posed to be, coach Frank Solich
said. Physically, we played really
well.
Ohio played energetically
from the outset. On the frst play
from scrimmage, Alphonso Lew-
is correctly identifed a reverse
and tackled Taveon Rogers in the
backfeld. Two plays later, Noah
Keller forced a fourth down with
a hard-hitting tackle before the
frst down marker.
Tettletons frst drive was his
most problematic. He completed
two of his frst three passing at-
tempts but threw an interception
in the red zone when he forced
a pass into double coverage on
third down.
Tettleton let the running backs
take charge on the next drive.
Beau Blankenship capped the
series with a 1-yard run for six
points.
Ohios defense then showed its
youth in the secondary as Man-
ley found Rogers wide open for
a 42-yard touchdown pass. The
Bobcats allowed fve passing
plays of more than 30 yards and
another play of 18 yards in the
contest.
Theres a combination of
reasons why a team will have six
explosive passes on you, Solich
said. It doesnt all revert to the
secondary, but we need to do
some things better across the
board with safeties and corners.
Tettleton led two scoring
drives in the second quarter. He
connected with receiver LaVon
Brazill for 44 yards and carried
the ball across the goal line three
plays later. Tettleton threw his
frst career touchdown pass to
Riley Dunlop to extend the lead
to 23-7.
In the third quarter, Phil Bates
threw a 58-yard completion to
Mario Dovell. Tettleton then
found Donte Foster for the score.
Tettletons fnal touchdown came
on another 1-yard rush.
He fnished the game 16-for-
28 for 153 yards.
Im really pleased with how
he played, Solich said. As you go
through and break down the flm,
there are three or four times his
decision making on where to go
with the ball wasnt exactly where
you want, but that was only three
or four times. He stayed in the
pocket and rolled out and did
things with a lot of composure.
Late in the third quarter, Travis
Carrie returned a punt 65 yards
for a touchdown to give Ohio a
44-10 lead. Rogers returned the
ensuing kickoff 97 yards for an
Aggies touchdown.
New Mexico State scored
quickly to begin the fourth quar-
ter but never got closer than 20
points.
The defensive line kept New
Mexico State from running the
ball. The Aggies managed only
six yards on the ground. Ala-
bama was the only Football Bowl
Subdivision team to allow fewer
rushing yards than Ohio.
Ohios Donte Harden led all
rushers with 81 yards on 15 car-
ries.
I think we did our job, Tettle-
ton said. Theres always room to
improve each week, and I think
well do that.
ROB OGDEN
Asst. Sports Editor | ro137807@ohiou.edu
A new offense, a new quar-

terback and eight new starters
on defense are usually a recipe
for disaster, but Ohio proved
the whole to be greater than the
sum of its parts in its win over
New Mexico State on Saturday.
While Ohio coach Frank Solich
made note of many areas where
his young team needs to improve,
he said he was generally pleased
with its performance.
I thought they played very
hard, and at times we executed
well, Solich said. We did a lot
of good things, but theres a lot
of things that need to be pol-
ished up on.
OFFENSE
The Bobcats dominated at
times, racking up 452 yards
of total offense leading to six
touchdowns despite breaking
in a new quarterback and a new
offense.
In his frst collegiate start,
quarterback Tyler Tettleton
completed 16 of 28 passes for
153 yards with two touchdowns
and one interception.
While Tettleton did not im-
press the coaches with any
spectacular plays, Solich said
he was pleased with the way his
young quarterback managed
the game.
Overall I thought he did a
great job of handling his frst
start, Solich said. Hes one of
the most inexperienced quar-
terbacks in the league. His
ability to handle the game and
make good plays showed, and
his teammates have a lot of
confdence in him.
An experienced group of of-
fensive linemen showed their
dominance in allowing Ohio to
rush for 241 yards.
Donte Harden, Beau Blan-
kenship and Ryan Boykin
combined for 164 yards and a
touchdown on the ground.
Donte is a slasher, Beau has
great quickness and can cut on
a dime, and Ryans the kind of
guy that will get you short yard-
age, Solich said. Weve got a
real good combination as far as
running backs go.
DEFENSE
With four new starters on the
defensive line, the unit did not
seem to miss a beat, allowing only
six yards rushing from New Mexi-
cos States offense.
The group also forced three
sacks in their debut.
A young group of defensive
backs showed their inexperience
at times, allowing New Mexico
State quarterback Andrew Man-
ley to throw for 362 yards and two
touchdowns.
Despite the tendency to give
up the big play, Solich said he was
not completely disappointed with
the play of his secondary.
The real positive thing was
they threw for a lot of yards, but
they werent putting points on the
board, he said Stopping the run
and forcing them to throw the ball
the way they did, youre going to
give up some yardage.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The special teams unit faced
high expectations coming into the
season, but after allowing an aver-
age of 44 yards per kickoff return,
Solich made it clear that the kick-
off coverage unit needs work.
Well look at that phase of the
game very closely, Solich said.
They beat us in the return phase
of the game. We have the capa-
bility of winning all of the special
teams battles.
Aside from the kick-coverage
team, special teams excelled.
Punter Paul Hershey averaged 51
yards on fve punts, including a
school-record 80-yard booming
kick. Place kicker Matt Weller con-
nected on all six extra-point tries
and forced three touchbacks on
seven kickoffs.
I thought the rest of our spe-
cial teams play was great. Her-
shey did a great job of punting the
football, Solich said. They didnt
have any return yards whatsoever,
and thats mostly a credit to him.
LaVon Brazill and Travis Carrie
combined to average 26 yards on
punt returns, including Carries
65-yard return for a touchdown.
We are fortunate to have two
great returners in the system right
now, Solich said We have two
guys who can take it all the way on
any given touch.

The only fuff in Ohios noncon-
ference schedule is the fur on the
mascots costumes.
Some teams will play a light
nonconference schedule, but
Ohio and others tend to play a
more aggressive nonconference
schedule in order to prepare for
conference play.
So far this season, Ohio has
emerged with a 3-3 record against
stiff competition. Last weekend,
the Bobcats came back to Athens
with a 1-2 weekend record.
In the win against Virginia Tech
(16-25, 25-23, 15-25, 25-23, 16-14),
the team rallied from a 2-1 disad-
vantage and was pushed to the
brink in the fnal game.
(It was) a nice win against a
veteran Virginia Tech team that
advanced in the NCAA tourna-
ment a year ago. It was a nice ffth
game where we were down 14-13
and turned it around and won,
head coach Ryan Theis said.
Two freshmen, Chelsea Bilger
and Kelly Lamberti, tied with 12
kills apiece. Senior Katie Post tied
a career high with 13 blocks.
Saturdays losses came against
Kentucky and Western Kentucky.
Kentucky swept the Bobcats
(20-25, 28-30, 14-25) to mark the
teams second loss to a Southeast-
ern Conference opponent.
We were neck and neck with
Kentucky in set two and just
missed fnishing that one, Theis
said. That would have put us
at 1-1 with maybe a little differ-
ent outlook on the next couple
games.
No player for Ohio had more
than six kills in the match, and the
Wildcat defense held the Bobcats
to a hitting percentage of .036.
Ohio took the frst game of the
next match 25-23 but lost the next
three games 15-25, 21-25 and 25-
27.
Post tallied 15 kills in the match
and earned a spot on the all-tour-
nament team. She fnished with
23 kills and 24 blocks for the week-
end.
We won the frst set. The next
two we did not play well, which
is a bit of a theme for us. Theis
said. That has been an ongoing
issue, and hopefully by the end
or optimistically by the middle of
the season we can get over
that.
At this point in the season,
Theis said he would take his teams
3-3 record but that the team is a
little bitter about two of the losses
Saturday because they could have
been 4-2.
He also said his team is doing
some regrouping and that they
need to play better offensively.
At some point, theyll surprise
you and play terrifc, and at some
point, theyll make a mistake,
Theis said. Its fun. Its exciting. I
think we got better from the frst
week to the second week, and the
one thing we need is to get better,
especially on offense.

Ohio conquered the city of

brotherly love this weekend, top-
ping both St. Josephs and Temple
to advance its record to 5-0.
Several Ohio players are native
to the region, and the local con-
nection was a nice advantage for
the Bobcats.
It was a great atmosphere,
coach Neil Macmillan said. It was
really exciting to see the crowd.
We probably had more fans than
the opposition we played both
days out there.
On Saturday, Ohio support-
ers saw their team clobber St. Jo-
sephs 7-2. A day later, the Bobcats
sneaked past Temple 2-0.
Junior Cathryn Altdoerffer
and senior Brooke Edwards, both
Pennsylvania natives, scored
twice each against the Hawks. Ju-
niors Laura Mastro, Taylor Brown
and Marissa Higgins also added
goals.
The tallies in Sundays game
came from Altdoerffer again and
ffth-year senior and captain
Louzeth Schutte.
Macmillan said the Bobcats
have shown selfessness through
a willingness to pass, leading to
success in the early part of their
season.
Were really setting each other
up, Macmillan said. Were see-
ing what the best options are and
taking them.
The assists are, in some part,
due to the level of team chemistry
the group enjoys.
Conference play does not
begin for several weeks, but
it already appears as if Ohios
players are comfortable working
together.
Schutte, who assisted on Alt-
doerffers goal vs. Temple, said the
Bobcats are an unselfsh bunch.
I think were clicking so far,
said Schutte, who has scored two
goals and tallied four assists in
Ohios fve wins this season.
One of those assists came
against No. 6 Ohio State Aug. 31.
The Bobcats won 2-1.
Facing a program that attracts
the majority of in-state talent, the
Bobcats pulled off the win thanks
to their defense. The Buckeyes
recorded as many shots (two) as
Ohio had goals.
It wasnt just the game, it
wasnt just the win, Macmillan
said. It was the way we did it that
really stood out to me.
I never was worried in that
game. I was very, very conf-
dent in what the team was do-
ing, and (it) did a great job mov-
ing the ball around and stopping
Ohio State from getting any fow
going.
If the Bobcats keep winning,
it will not be long before they are
included in the top 20 in the rank-
ings. The poll was last updated
Aug. 23, when Ohio was only 2-0,
and even then the team received
votes.
If the rankings come out and
were ranked, thats awesome,
Schutte said. But obviously thats
not our main focus.
Thatd be a bonus.

Three Athens County

teams put the Tri in Tri-
Valley Conference this past
weekend, with blowout wins
against non-conference op-
ponents.
Everyone just played real
well across the board, Ath-
ens coach Ryan Adams said.
Everyone played with a lot
of heart and desire in order
to get our community a win.
Adams said an important
factor in any win is execu-
tion of a game plan.
We watched a tremen-
dous amount of film, Ad-
ams said. We saw some
things that we were able to
take advantage of and put
our guys into a better place
to be successful.
All three Athens-area
TVC-Ohio teams played op-
ponents they faced last sea-
son, and two, Athens and
Nelsonville-York, avenged
losses.
ATHENS
A year after their home
field was destroyed by a tor-
nado, the Bulldogs rechris-
tened their stadium with a
win that stretched beyond
the box score.
Athens defeated Coal
Grove 48-14, and the words
home game never sounded
so sweet.
Its a real home game,
and were finally back in our
home territory, Adams said.
It felt real good to be back
in our own backyard playing
football on a Friday night,
and the kids were definitely
excited about it.
After a loss to Coal Grove
last season, a fast 2-0 start to
the season has Athens feel-
ing good and building on last
seasons 5-5 record.
The last few years, weve
been slow coming out of the
gate week after week after
week, Adams said. What
I really like is that we came
out of the gates hot and got
after them from the first
play.
ALEXANDER
The Spartans brought new
meaning to the term big win
by scoring 62 points with a
40-point margin of victory.
Alexander busted out of-
fensively, defeating Hun-
tington 62-22, but coach
Sean Arno believes his team
still has a lot to work on be-
fore next weeks rematch
with Unioto.
We did pretty well obvi-
ously when you score that
many points, but theres a lot
of things were working on
right now, Arno said.
Defeating any opponent
by 40 points could be viewed
as a team booster, how-
ever Arno said the win is in
the past as his team looks
ahead to this Fridays
matchup.
Our focus always is going
to be one at a time, he said.
Were not looking ahead be-
yond this weekend and were
trying to get better week to
week.
NELSONVILLE-YORK
The Buckeyes once again
displayed success on the
ground as star running back
Dustin Young added another
100-yard game to his re-
sume.
Young rushed for 177
yards on 20 carries to help
lift Nelsonville-York to a 34-
12 victory against Newark
Catholic.
The Buckeyes totaled 357
yards on the ground, aveng-
ing last years loss to the
Green Wave.
Similar to last week, Nel-
sonville-York entered half-
time with a large lead, which
helped them keep control of
Newark Catholic to finish the
game.
Turnovers were a major
factor in the outcome as the
Buckeyes forced four, in-
cluding three interceptions.
Nelsonville-York moved to
2-0 with the win.
Perfect record intact after Pennsylvania trip
Cats draw even after preseason competition
TVC-Ohio teams win big,
avenge a few past losses

Recent Ohio University

graduate Ryan Verner put his
own spin on giving back to the
university with a website he
hopes will simplify the text-
book process for students.
Verner, who studied mar-
keting and sport management
and graduated in 2010, has
created FourYears.com, a new
online resource that will help
OU students compare, sell,
find and buy textbooks.
Verner said he believes the
current Student Senate book
exchange is outdated. How-
ever, he said he would rather
work with his alma mater than
against it, adding that compe-
tition is not his goal.
The FourYears.com creator
has been in touch with Stu-
dent Senate in hopes of work-
ing with senate members to
either replace or combine his
site with senates current book
exchange, which currently has
more than 1,500 books listed.
Student Senate President
Kyle Triplett said he plans to
meet with Verner this quar-
ter to find out more about the
website.
Were looking to pro-
vide students with more op-
tions besides just the book-
stores and amazon.com to get
books, Triplett said.
Students often need text-
books immediately after they
order them, Verner said.
(With FourYears.com,)
youre cutting the middleman
out and buying from students
right on campus instead of
putting in shipping informa-
tion, Verner said.
The site includes each
books Amazon price to assist
in setting a sell price, making
FourYears.coms services both
convenient and competitive,
Verner said.
The bookstore is conve-
nient, but not on price; what
makes us different is we have
both, he said.
After a book is purchased,
the site holds the money until
both sides confirm the trans-
action has occurred.
At the end of each quarter,
the website will send a mes-
sage asking if buyers would
like to relist the book for the
next quarter.
Verner approached Kent
Smith, OUs vice president for
Student Affairs, to discuss the
website and receive feedback.
Smith said buying and selling
textbooks can be tedious.
Personally, I like the idea
anything that can help stu-
dents navigate the process,
Smith said. Its something
that can help students both
with information and finan-
cially, so Im all for it.
Verner has spread the word
about the website around cam-
pus by posting flyers, sending
out emails and communicat-
ing with friends still enrolled
at the university. He also has
asked professors to tell stu-
dents about the website.
Verner has communicated
the websites offerings through
social media as well. FourYears
has a Twitter account and
Facebook page. The company
is offering an added incen-
tive to students: any student
who lists at least two books on
the site and likes its Facebook
page is entered to win an iPad,
he said.
In order to continue and
maintain the site, a small per-
centage of textbooks sale price
will go back to the site, Verner
said.
The money goes straight
back into the site for both
improvements and mainte-
nance, he said.
Verner also found his first
investor, Nology, in January
after approaching the web
developing company about
working together for the site.
The plan is to use this school
year as a test year and then be-
gin to spread the word to other
Ohio schools, he said.
Although textbooks are
the main focus for the initial
launch, Verner said he plans to
add functions such as profes-
sor and class reviews and tools
to help find off-campus hous-
ing within the next six to nine
months.
I ultimately want it to be a
complete resource for college
students, he said.
Triplett said he would like to
see the site work out.
I want students at OU to
have more options, Triplett
said. Books are a significant
proportion of cost at school.
Triplett said senate will
monitor the demand for the
exchange websites this year
and discuss the possibility of
a partnership with FourYears.

Although land has been bought

in Athens County intended for the
purpose of fracture mining, resi-
dents and City Council members
are preparing themselves for the
dangers that come with fracking.
Hydraulic fracturing, or frack-
ing, is the process by which natu-
ral gas companies inject a mixture
of sand, water and chemicals into
the ground and create fractures
in the bedrock. The channels are
then used to extract natural gas.
The chemicals used in the
fracking process are undisclosed,
as per the Halliburton Loophole
in the Clean Water Act and com-
panies arent regulated by the En-
vironmental Protection Agency.
Those who attended the
screening of Split Estate at the
Athens Community Center last
week had a chance to explore the
dangers that come as a result of
the mining style.
The documentary was shown
by the Appalachian Group of the
Sierra Club, a group aiming to
protect the environment as well as
support alternative sources of en-
ergy such as wind or solar power.
According to the flm, indepen-
dent testing has been performed
and many toxic chemicals have
been discovered in the fuid.
The screening was put on to
promote awareness about the po-
tential damages of fracture min-
ing in the event that companies
decide to start drilling in Athens,
said Sierra Club representative
Loraine McCosker.
Big companies go from door
to door and get residents to sign
on to drilling in the area by of-
fering monetary compensa-
tion. However, residents do not
know what they are really signing
up for, McCosker said.
The flm looked at a series of
families who were affected by
fracking in their area, some with
health issues, and others with full-
scale mining operations just out-
side their front door.
The closest the mining has got-
ten to Athens so far is just south
of Mineral in Northern Athens
County approximately 12 miles
from Athens.
Its there that Oxford Mining
has leased 157 acres from the Ath-
ens Fish and Game Club for $10
an acre.
Fracking is a huge threat to the
region and now in Athens, and I
dont support this. It isnt regu-
lated by environmental laws, and
sadly land has been sold in Athens
County, McCosker said, adding
that City Council is going to begin
discussing the minings possible
impact on Athens.
Various concerned citizens
spoke at the open discussion fol-
lowing the flm, discussing the
importance of getting the word
out to people about the potential
dangers of fracture mining before
residents begin to sign the leases.
We dont want to become full
time fractivists, but we also do
not want to deal with what will
be irrevocable, local entrepre-
neur Christine Hughes said at the
screening.
Resident Cate Matigi shared
similar feelings, adding this stage
is a learning process.
Weve been alarmed, hearing
more and more about fracking,
Matigi said. Most of what we are
doing right now is educational.
Fracking brought to forefront of locals attention
Its something that can
help students both with
information and fnancially,
so Im all for it.

Although Saturdays mid-

night shift included all of 49
incidents including fghts,
noise violations and other
drunken misconduct Capt.
Ralph Harvey of the Athens Po-
lice Department said in terms
of the frst weekend back to
school, everything was busi-
ness as usual.
With six fght calls, 21 noise
ordinance related complaints
and nine disorderly conduct
incidents among many other
calls received by the APD on
Saturday night alone, Harvey
felt APD knew what the opening
weekend would hold.
Nothing really stood out
(this weekend), Harvey said.
There was a good bit of activ-
ity, but that is to be expected.
APD and Ohio University
Police Department have been
working together in prepara-
tion for the frst weekend back
and all aspects of Fall Quarter
to make sure students are safe,
he added.
Saturdays midnight shift
also included four arrests, two
disorderly conduct by intoxica-
tion calls, one theft and assault
charge, a UAC & Obstructing
Offcial Business call and three
traffc stops, according to a
news release.
Though activity went up
signifcantly compared to the
last few weekends, we were pre-
pared and will (keep) proactive-
ly patrolling Athens to preserve,
protect and enhance the quality
of life, Harvey said.
Ohio University students also
felt the weekend was handled
well by law enforcement.
Jason Kuhn, a sophomore
studying management of in-
formation systems, said he felt
there were more cops out than
usual, and there was a good
balance of making sure people
were safe while allowing party-
goers to have a fun weekend.
They had to be on high alert
since it was the frst weekend
back and since there were so
many new students out, Kuhn
said.

The College of Fine Arts turns

75 this year, and it is celebrat-
ing with a long list of events and
visitors.
Inspiring Lives was the theme
chosen for the anniversary
which, according to the College
of Fine Arts website, will recog-
nize the inspiration our pow-
erful and challenging work has
created around the world.
Celebrations started with an
exhibit by alumnus Jim Dine at
the Kennedy Museum of Art.
Dine was involved in the pop art
movement in the 1960s and was
contemporaries with Roy Lich-
tenstein and Andy Warhol. The
exhibit features the three major
themes he has recently been
exploring, the Venus de Milo,
hearts and Pinocchio.
Maureen Wagner, assistant
director of the School of Theatre
and the 75th Anniversary Com-
mittee chair, said she highly rec-
ommends seeing the exhibit.
Id seen his work before, but
I had never seen an exhibition of
just his work, said Wagner. Its
huge, and its just absolutely in-
credible.
Dine will return to Ohio
University on Nov. 3 for a con-
versation at the Templeton-
Blackburn Alumni Memorial
Auditorium. The event is free
and open to the public.
His exhibition will remain
at the Kennedy Museum of Art
through Nov. 27.
I really liked the exhibition
and think that others would ap-
preciate it, said senior dance
major Alexa Baxendell. Im cu-
rious to hear (Dine) speak about
his art after seeing it.
Plans for the 75th Anniver-
sary initiated over a year be-
fore Dines exhibit debuted.
A coordinating committee
fielded nominations for vis-
iting artists with the criteria
that they be: an alumnus of the
university, have interdisciplin-
ary work that pertains to more
than one school in the College
of Fine Arts and that they have
a high enough profile to attract
a crowd.
Other events will include an
exhibit in Seigfried Hall where
visitors live chat with College
of Fine Arts alumni and a 75th
Anniversary Gala Event on
April 14 at MemAud.
Among other projects,
The Vampire Cowboys The-
atre Company will visit in the
spring to work with students in
the School of Theater.
Alumni Qui Nguyen and
Robert Ross Parker and their
friend, Nick Francone, started
the self-proclaimed geek the-
atre company as grad students
at OU and found commercial
success after it moved to New
York City.
I am always happy for alum-
ni like Qui and Robert, said
Wagner. But also for those who
have taken their arts education
and gone in very different paths
it shows the value of what
were doing for everyone, not
just those who are going to be
professional artists.
A calendar of the coming
years 75th Anniversary events,
visitors is available at the Ohio
University College of Fine Arts
website.

With the final recommen-

dations for Ohio Universitys
multipurpose center submitted
last spring to President Rod-
erick McDavis, the committee
was dissolved after fulfilling its
goal of compiling a list of what
should be in the center.
The final recommendation
included a football field in a
building that will fit in with the
OU campus aesthetic and will
most likely be made of steel,
said Dan Quarfoot, former stu-
dent senator for athletic affairs
and a committee member.
Quarfoot said he would have
no hesitations to join a com-
mittee similar to the multi-
purpose committee should the
need for another one arise. He
said it was great to be able to
work on a committee that al-
lowed for students to be in-
volved.
I thought that everyone was
very professional, he said.
It was just a little frustrat-
ing. Honestly it was kind of
hard because we didnt know
how much money we had
we knew what the grant was,
but we werent sure what other
money would be used for fund-
raising. So that limited what we
were able to do.
Quarfoot said that by the end
of his time with the committee,
they were meeting every week
or two to discuss the plans.
If we stuck to the agenda,
we were going to meet every
month, he said. We met a
lot more than we planned on
originally, so I really wouldnt
change that whole setting.
The multipurpose center
was funded by a donation from
Robert and Margaret Walter,
who donated $10 million in De-
cember 2010. A small portion
of the donation is to be used to
fund renovations in The Convo.
In addition to the $10 million,
fundraising efforts have also
been made by the athletics de-
partment to raise more money
for the center.
We knew the funding would
be limited, said Kent Smith,
vice president for Student Af-
fairs and member of the com-
mittee. So we submitted the
best report that we could in
terms of the recommendations
based on the money that we
were estimating the building
would cost.
Smith said the thing that he
admired most about the com-
mittee was the fact that they
worked so well together.
We put in a lot of time and
effort in identifying what was
best for the university, he said.

Some of the best lessons can
come from the most diffcult
losses. If that is true, the Bobcats
are learning a lot.
Ohio (2-3) fell to Cleveland
State (3-2) 3-0 Sunday after a
strong performance Friday,
when they posted a 1-0 win
against Marshall (1-3).
Coach Stacy Strauss believes
this was only a slight misstep
and will be used as a tough les-
son. All three goals came in the
frst half of the game as Cleve-
land State piled the pressure
onto a sleeping Bobcat squad.
Its pretty inexplicable. We
went from having a solid per-
formance on Friday to easily our
worst performance in practice
or game yet this year, Strauss
said. Credit to (Cleveland State)
for taking advantage. We cannot
come out not prepared and get
outworked in the frst ten min-
utes and lose our composure.
Though Ohio fell behind
early Sunday, the players came
out in the second half and were
able to stop the bleeding. They
produced play similar to what
Strauss believes her players are
capable of.
We want to certainly build on
the second half and what we did
on Friday, she said. We want to
completely ensure we dont have
the kind of performance that we
had in the frst half.
The Bobcats defeated Mar-
shall on the road with the win-
ning goal coming from a free
kick by senior Kelsey Pichel. It
was her second goal of the sea-
son.
(Pichel) is playing well. She
defnitely worked very hard in
the offseason on fnishing, and
she has continued to do ad-
ditional work this fall, Strauss
said. It was good to see her get
rewarded with a set piece goal.
Pichel was not the only player
that stood out. Sophomore goal-
keeper Mattie Liston kept the
ball out of the net to make her
third on the list for all-time shut-
outs for the Bobcats.
She is a player that we de-
pend on quite a bit and has all
the capabilities to be a player
that is worthy of all the recogni-
tions that she has received and
more, Strauss said.
The Bobcats were picked to
fnish fourth in the Mid-Amer-
ican Conference, but it is not a
focus for the team. Instead, the
players are using the non-con-
ference play to prepare for con-
ference games.
It is certainly something that
when it came out, we mentally
Multipurpose committee recommends indoor football feld, dissolves
Honestly it was kind of hard because we didnt know how
much money we had we knew what the grant was,
but we werent sure what other money would be used for
fundraising. So that limited what we were able to do.

Cats stumble, look to regroup before conference play
saw a good challenge, Strauss
said. But that is why we have
this weeks leading up to confer-
ence play to sort out all our
issues and learn from each game
and get better.
The majority of the focus for
the games and practice has been
on possession and how the team
is pressuring opponents. While
the Bobcats might not show it,
Ohio is taking the steps in the
right direction with a loss fol-
lowed up by an impressive win.

Ohio Athletics has hired a new

assistant athletics director for
media relations.
Tom Symonds, a native of Me-
dina, Ohio, will begin his new
role today. He previously served
as a media-relations coordina-
tor for the University of Rhode
Island. He will replace Jason
Corriher, who left Ohio Uni-
versity for the same position at
Marshall University earlier this
year.
Symonds will make $43,000
this year.
This was an opportunity to
come back home, Symonds
said. I know Ohio Athletics rela-
tively well just growing up in the
state. I remember growing up
watching Gary Trent play bas-
ketball.
Other than his in-state roots,
Symonds has crossed paths
with the Bobcats mens basket-
ball team twice in his career. He
was working at Ohio State when
coach John Groce was an assis-
tant under Buckeye coach Thad
Matta. He also worked during
the 2009 NCAA Tournament in
Providence, R.I., when Ohio up-
set Georgetown.
Growing up in Northeast
Ohio, Symonds became a fan of
all Cleveland sports and of the
Mid-American Conference.
Top to bottom, its a very
solid league, he said. Its very,
very competitive. Theres very
good fan support at a lot of the
institutions.
Symonds said the MAC sets
trends for the rest of college
sports. He pointed to football,
which often featured Thursday
night games on ESPN before the
time slot became prestigious.
To me, the MAC is a league
that shows a lot of forward
thinking, he said.
Symonds has 10 years of ex-
perience in sports communi-
cations. Besides his three-year
stints with Ohio State and Rhode
Island, he also worked for the
Detroit Lions, the Big East and
the Horizon League.
The thing that attracted me
to this position was the ability
to work with a football team that
has had a ton of success in the
last few years, such as Ohio, he
said. I had a really good job at
Rhode Island. For me to leave
there, it certainly was going to
take a pretty nice job.

Todays freshmen would

take their Lil Wayne albums
and PlayStations to a hypo-
thetical post-apocalyptic
world.
That is what James Hall
Residential Coordinator Mi-
cah McCarey learned from
the first year of OUs Com-
mon Experience Project. The
two-year pilot program was
created as an alternative to
the Common Reader Project
that guided freshman English
classes for more than a de-
cade.
For the second year, fresh-
men will not be asked to read
a book but to engage in a crit-
ical investigation of a chosen
theme instead: the apoca-
lypse.
Lately, people have been
so fascinated with vampires,
zombies and 2012 that we
thought this theme would
be appealing, said Lorraine
Wochna, OU librarian and
project coordinator. And
there isnt anything you can
say has no bright side or dark
side because people in every
area of academics have ideas
about the future.
More than 700 students
participated in the CEP last
year through book clubs,
overnight camping trips and
participation on the CEP
blog, where a list of themed
books, movies and games
were found.
This is something we can
all rally around and have con-
versations about, McCarey
said. (The apocalypse) is a
topic that is relative to ev-
eryone that can spark any-
ones interest.
Last year, McCarey lead a
mini-project in James Hall
that won second place in the
Fine Arts category at the 2011
Student Expo. He initiated
the project by simply ask-
ing students what they be-
lieve would be the most likely
cause of an apocalypse and
what they would take with
them in such a scenario. Most
predicted the exhaustion of
natural resources will result
in Armageddon and chose a
favorite CD or dessert as their
item of choice.
When I heard about the
theme, I was disturbed be-
cause I thought it was too
hardcore, said Madison Yo-
der, a sophomore studying
English and former James
Hall resident. I think the
project would work better if it
were directed toward upper-
classmen because freshmen
are just trying to settle in, not
worry about an apocalypse.
The project is directed to-
ward freshmen, Wochna said,
because they are easy to reach
through first-year classes and
events. Upperclassmen are
encouraged to engage by at-
tending movies at the Athena
Cinema and exhibits at the
Kennedy Museum of Art.
This project might appeal
more to students who have
matured emotionally, Woch-
na said. Or maybe the apoc-
alypse is just too uncomfort-
able for people to talk about.
The theme aims to get
freshmens thoughts flowing
about their futures. In the
end, the choices they make
will determine whether the
future is bright or dark just
as the project describes.

While many Ohio Uni-

versity undergraduates met
their roommates for the frst
time in the doorway of their
residence hall rooms this past
weekend, some residents of
Smith House moved in with
their siblings or signifcant
others.
This year, OU became the
third university in the state
with a gender-neutral hous-
ing plan. Two mods in South
Greens Smith House now
house 10 sets of opposite-
sex roommates from various
backgrounds, calling for special
preparations from the Residen-
tial Housing staff.
Every community has agree-
ment issues, said Amanda Hob-
son, residential coordinator for
Smith House. Not only will typi-
cal roommate problems happen
here, but we may also have is-
sues that will cross gender lines.
One feature of the Smith
House mods that might spark
controversy is the unmarked
communal bathrooms that male
and female residents will have
to share. In addition to some
unusual discussion about bath-
room etiquette, Smith House
residents will need to discuss
relationship matters as well as
lesbian-, gay-, bisexual- and
transgender-friendly language
during their frst in-hall meeting.
If anything, I think this group
of students will be closer than
others because they made a
conscious decision to join this
community, said Judy Piercy,
associate director of Residential
Housing.
A survey by Student Senate
last year showed that 87 percent
of the 1,176 participating OU
students responded in favor of
allowing a gender-neutral hous-
ing option, and 56 percent said
they would consider sharing a
room with someone of the op-
posite sex.
I think the gender-neutral
housing option makes this uni-
versity more appealing to cer-
tain people and certain fami-
lies, said Kent Smith, OUs vice
president for Student Affairs.
Especially the LGBT communi-
ty and siblings who want to live
together.
With the gender-neutral hous-
ing program underway, residen-
tial assistants in most residence
halls will include conversations
about bullying and respecting
the LGBT community in their
initial meet-and-greets. Resi-
dential Housing says it is now,
more than ever, encouraging
in-house staffers to recruit LGBT
allies in the residence halls they
oversee.
After the individuals settle
into their new rooms, each will
participate in a pre-test to in-
dicate their well-being early in
the quarter. Similar assessments
will be held regularly throughout
the year to determine whether
the gender-neutral housing pro-
gram is a success.
Right now, were just waiting
to see what the students living
here want, and its OK if what
they want isnt special, Hobson
said. They probably just want
an inclusive community envi-
ronment where they can be who
they are.
