NBC 4: After some 11 years of planning and three years of construction, the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library on the Ohio State University campus reopened Monday. A 1998 taskforce report called for the complete renovation of the library. More than $100 million later, the renovation has been completed on time and within budget.
The east entrance of the Thompson Library looks much like it has for the last hundred or so years. Walk in, though, and it’s a different story after some $108.7 million in renovations. “The building has been totally redone,” said project manager Wes Boomgaarden. “Every window is new. All of the electrical work is new. The air-handling systems are all new. We took out all of the asbestos. It’s an asbestos-free building. It’s all-new except for the outside look.“
Three years after work began, the library opened once again to the public with more than 222,000 renovated square feet and more than 83,000 square feet of new space. The space is filled with new computers, new furniture, new everything. One of the biggest changes to the Thompson Library is huge atriums on the east and west side of the book stacks tower.
“The old building was very dark, and a lot of students found it very scary because there were a lot of dark places. It wasn’t well lit. It wasn’t safe, didn’t have a fire safety system in the stacks tower,” Boomgaarden said.
The Grand Reading Room on the east end was restored completely as well. A second reading room on the west end also was added. It was clear the library is a hit with the students. The library seats almost 1,800 people. That’s double the number of previous seats.
Several new green elements were used in this project such as low-emissive coatings, recycled fabrics and computer-controlled interior shading. The library is open to the public. Materials cannot be checked out without a borrower’s card, though.

Welcome to the World
10 TV: A record number of graduates received their diplomas at Ohio State's spring graduation on Sunday. While the graduates enjoyed finishing their degrees, they face the toughest job market in a generation…
“Other people who graduated before us, they had their worries, but we're just kind of at a complete loss as to where to even start,” Sierra Clouse said. “This just seemed like the opportune time since the job prospects aren't looking so well.”
The 8,162 graduates were addressed by former astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn in a ceremony inside Ohio Stadium. Glenn told the graduates to make a difference in the world. “I hope your class, this Class of 2009, becomes the greatest 'why not?’ class of all time,” Glenn said.

Swine Flu Infects Ohio State
NBC 4: OSU officials say a student is diagnosed with a probable case of H1N1 in Stradley Hall. According to the university, the student was exposed to the virus outside the university through close contact with family members that were believed to have the H1N1 virus.
The student is a male, freshman and a resident of Stradley Hall. The university is following recommended precautions to prevent the spread of the illness to others. The student has been moved to another location for isolation and is being treated and monitored. According to OSU media relations, Stradley Hall is being disinfected and hand sanitizer placed around the building in light of the probable H1N1 case
The university is communicating with the 450 residents of Stradley Hall. In addition, individuals who had close contact with the student over the last two days are being notified. The student health center is offering preventive medication to those individuals. The Wilce Student Health Center, 1875 Millikin Rd., will hold clinic hours for students tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students also can call the clinic’s advice nurse line at 614-292-4321.

Lantern Loses Friday
10 TV: The Ohio State University student newspaper, The Lantern, will begin scaling back production this fall. The newspaper will no longer be distributed on Fridays, opting instead to produce more content for its Web site…
John Milliken, the newspaper's general manager, said eliminating the Friday edition will help the paper financially. "Your not printing hard copies (and) Friday tends to be a pretty quiet day at the university," Milliken said. "(There are) fewer classes, fewer students, fewer papers being picked up."
The newspaper hopes the move will help prepare students for what is occurring throughout the media industry. The Lantern plans to launch a new Web site this fall that will be constantly updated.

Remake Your Calendars
NBC 4: OSU officials voted unanimously to move from quarters to semesters on Friday. OSU Trustees voted at a meeting Friday afternoon… The Ohio State University Student and Faculty Senate previously voted to convert the university to a semester schedule on March 12.
In a press release, Ohio State Provost Joseph A. Alutto said, “The conversion to semesters will allow us to better integrate with other universities, facilitating the transfer of credits and students.”
According to OSU, the conversion process should be complete by 2012 at an estimated cost of $8.7 million to $11.2 million for such expenses as technology modifications, course redesign and curriculum alignment. The school has promised to protect students by providing additional funding for academic advisers to help them navigate the transition.
For OSU’s student government president Peter Koltak, the change is a positive for Buckeyes entering the competitive job market and trying to snag internships. “If we’re getting out of school in May at the same time as everyone else is, rather than in June, it doesn’t set us a month behind in the job hunt,“ Koltak said.
The Committee for Enrollment and Student Progress is working on the structure of the overall academic calendar, which will be voted on by the University Senate. Trustees will then vote on the rule change to accommodate that calendar.

Ticket Trauma
NBC 4: With just six months before The Ohio State Buckeyes take the field on football Saturdays, the window just opened for students to purchase tickets. A change in the software system used to process ticket purchases created some confusion and left many hopeful buyers without seats to the must-see games.
Student tickets went on sale Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. and within the first 90 minutes, tickets to the highest-desired games were all gone. OSU Law School student Bryan Griffith said it took him more than two hours to get tickets as the system first told him to wait then failed to process his order three times. He called the new Ticketmaster ordering process a disaster. “The interest is growing with current students and so the eagerness to get tickets is there, so everybody hits the system very quickly,“ said Bill Jones, OSU Assistant Athletic Director for ticketing.
Jones said administrators will review how the first-year software can work better. But, he said, compared to last year when the school’s software proved incapable of handling demand and crashed, the new software worked. “I think we’re ecstatic. I never would have thought that we could have a system crash in the first hour last year, to go into a brand new system first-time around and receive 19,000 season tickets ordered in the first ten hours” he said.
But for hundreds of OSU medical students, the chance to purchase tickets never happened because of an email that didn’t arrive. “I wanted to go to the USC game and wanted that ticket really badly and I got online at 8 and spent several hours trying to get it and it was sold out when I went to get it,“ said Jessica Abraham, a second-year grad student.
The email contained a pass code that students needed to buy tickets. But med school students didn’t get the email. One theory is that the email was blocked by spam filters. But by the students figured out to call for their pass code on the phone, tickets for the best games were gone. “Everyone loves to go to the OSU football game and get tickets. They sell out so quickly and to not even get a chance, it was really frustrating,“ said Ruwan Kiringoda, a third-year student.
The medical students said their chances of scoring a ticket for the USC game are practically non-existent unless the university can give them a second chance. “There’s not going to be extra allocation for games that have sold out,“ Jones said.
Jones said the error was unfortunate and that the university is investigating to find out what happened and prevent it from occurring again. But, he said, not even med school students who missed out can be given special treatment on USC or Michigan tickets to make up for it.

OSU: More Millions Banked
10 TV: Ohio State announced on Monday that it has sold the media rights for its sports programs in a deal valued at nearly $128 million. The 10-year deal is the largest athletics multimedia rights guarantee in collegiate sports history, according to the university. The contract with IMG College and RadiOhio includes $110 million in guarantees.
The partnership will manage all rights associated with publishing, radio game play-by-play and coaches' shows and live and delayed television and coaches' TV shows excluded from the Big Ten Conference and NCAA contracts. The agreement also includes corporate sponsorships, signage, on-site marketing opportunities and coaches' endorsements. According to the university, the deal will help restore part of the $1.2 million in budget cuts to its 36 sports programs this year.

Celebrities Ball
The line went around the parking lot and continued down the street, filled with people of all ages anticipating not the game but a chance at a glance at the celebrities. You would think, being at the St. John’s Arena right on OSU’s campus, there would be a lot of college students but that was not the case. The majority of the crowd were local elementary to high school children with their families. The theme continued with a high school marching band that played while the spectators waited for the doors to open at five O’clock. There was chaos once the doors opened. The long line split into two, one for those with tickets and one for those who needed to buy tickets at fifteen dollars apiece or forty for VIP and people sprinted into the doors.
The lines outside were filled with anticipation but the gym was abounding with music and celebration. The game was set to start at six but did not begin until thirty minutes later with the entrance of the four celebrity attractions: Columbus native, Bow Wow ( So So Def), who received the most applause; Nelly as the leader of Derrty Ent; Jermaine Dupri as the coach for So So Def; and Murphy Lee rounding up Derrty Ent. The majority of the teams were comprised of virtual unknowns that played more than the celebs but the audience didn’t care. Every time Bow Wow went to the net, people cheered and likewise for Nelly.

OSU Chills Salaries, Chooses Semesters
10 TV: The Ohio State University has frozen the salaries of some of its top executives -- including President E. Gordon Gee -- but will still allot modest salary increases for faculty. The 17 members of the Senior Management Council all voluntarily agreed to offer up their raises and bonuses. Included is Gee, whose bonus could have been as high as 40 percent of his more than $800,000 salary. The more than $1 million expected to be saved by the freeze will flow into student scholarships. While the executives will forgo raises and bonuses, the university said that each department will still be given a 2.5 percent pool raise, as long as the department meets budgetary goals.
NBC 4: The Ohio State University Student and Faculty Senate voted Thursday to convert the university to a semester schedule rather than continuing its current quarter system. OSU’s Undergraduate Student and Faculty Government voted to make the change to semesters, but the final decision will belong to the OSU Board of Trustees, who would vote on the issue in April. President E. Gordon Gee publicly stated that he would support the switch. The earliest that the change to semesters could take place would be in the fall of 2012.

Hineygate History?
10 TV: A hotel near the Ohio State campus that is popular with tailgaters during football season is set to be sold to the university and converted into a dormitory. Campus Partners, the redevelopment agency for the university, has announced an agreement to purchase the Holiday Inn on the Lane...
Doug Aschenbach, the interim president of Campus Partners said that Ohio State plans to turn the hotel into a dormitory in time for September's start of the new school year. "In terms of student housing, it's an affordable way to bring extra bed inventory online because it's a property that's already there with minimal renovations," Aschenbach said.
The hotel, located across Lane Avenue from campus and a short walk to Ohio Stadium, is filled during home football games with revelers enjoying Hineygate, the tailgate party hosted at the site. Students reacted with excitement at the possibility of living this fall at the hotel.
Ohio State is considering keeping Hineygate going even after converting the hotel to a dormitory. The deal to purchase the hotel should be completed later this month. The hotel is set to close at the end of March, with renovations taking place during the summer.

Gougers, Rowers, and Valor
NBC 4: Following weeks of discussions on layoffs, cut-backs and closures, Columbus talked about higher taxes Tuesday night. The man who’s in charge of keeping track of Columbus dollars and cents said he believes the economic crisis is too deep and all options—no matter how unpopular—should be considered. City Auditor High Dorrain urged council to consider raising income taxes and said he believes it may be the only way to keep providing essential services. Dorrain suggested raising the tax .05 percent. That would be an extra half-cent on every dollar you earn. City income taxes were raised last in 1982.
Does the fact that income taxes haven’t been raised in 27 years, suggest to anyone else this is a bad idea? Governor Strickland is committed to not raising taxes in a crisis. Mayor Coleman should be also…
NBC 4: The controversial Ohio State University boat house along the Scioto River has hit a new snag. The multi-million dollar boat house will be located in Duranceaux Park and users or the park have been fighting the construction of it because of safety and environmental concerns. Now, there’s a new problem: it’s $500,000 over budget… The 22,000-square foot, two-level structure was originally estimated to cost $4.8 million. OSU officials said the project delays over the summer increased the price by nearly $500,000. Groundbreaking for the new boat house is expected to begin late in Summer 2009.
On Tuesday, the Dispatch reports that major OSU sports are facing budget problems… And we are discussing the rowing team? (Please, rowers, save your e-mails)…
NBC 4: A decorated Columbus police officer received the first of a new monthly award, recognizing law enforcement for their dedication to duty. CPD Officer Ryan Chrysler received the first Bryan Hurst/Tony Luzio Award Wednesday. The award was in recognition of Officer Chrysler’s dedication to duty. Seven weeks ago, an armed suspect shot Chrysler in the face at close range while Chrysler was responding to a possible robbery on Weber Road.
We never run good news…

Buckeyes Cringe & Celebrate
NBC 4: OSU police has issued a crime alert. A female student reported she was sexually assaulted at Hopkins Hall last week. She said she was assaulted at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. The suspect was described as a white male who is college-age. He is 6 feet tall with an average build. He has very short light-brown or dark-blond hair. He was wearing blue jeans, a T-shirt and a hoodie. Anyone with information was encouraged to call CPD at 614-645-4545 or campus police at 614-292-2121. You also can report information anonymously to the Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-645-TIPS or the University Crime Stoppers tips line at 614-247-TIPS.
I know… crimes happen everyday in this city… but this at minimum the fifth violent crime I’ve counted since the cop reduction announcement… Anyone think that’s a coincidence?
