Two students were robbed at gunpoint off-campus this weekend, just two days before classes began.

The robbery occurred at about 2:30 a.m. Satur-day near Lake Street and Harvey Avenue.

Victims said a black male, about 5 feet 3 inches, demanded money and cell phones, according to the Kent City Police Department.

The suspect, wearing a white hoodie and jeans, was armed with a handgun and fled on foot in an unknown direction, police said.

The students, one man and one woman in their early twenties, were uninjured and reported the robbery Saturday afternoon. No arrests had been made at that time, according to Kent police.

A criminal jury trial is set for the third man involved in Kent State student Christopher M. Kernich’s death.

Glenn P. Jefferson, 22, of Mentor, was charged with obstructing justice, a third degree felony for lying about his involvement in the Nov. 15 beat-ing.

His criminal jury trial will be at 9 a.m. Sept. 8 at the Portage County Common Pleas Court in front of Judge Laurie Pittman.

The other two men, Adrian Barker and Ron-ald Kelly, were each sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the murder of Kernich.

Kernich, 23, died at Akron City Hospital six days after being beaten on East Main Street in Kent.

Earlier this month, University Architect Michael Bruder said it would be ready by the time classes start, “but not much before.”

Fences still stand surrounding small areas where construction continues. But the general path and seating areas are opened for use.

Bruder has said since June that the plaza will require detail work and landscaping until early October, by which time he said the entire project would be complete.

Risman Plaza has seen many changes since last semester. The concrete fountain and brick paving were removed. In their place, new paving and a circular lawn have been added, as well as a new seating area and a new fountain. In addi-tion, a new sculpture now stands in front of the library.

Bruder said the university conducted research to find the most-walked paths in the plaza to be sure they would build no obstructions.

The project is part of the university’s campus-wide $200 million renovations plan. Bruder said they are on track with the $2.8 million plaza face-lift budget.

plan is to attract and retain students by making the campus more visually appealing.

“I like it. It looks a lot nicer,” said Grace Schot-telkotte, freshman photo illustration major. She visited the campus on a tour in the spring and again for orientation. “I mean, before when the fountain was there it was mostly concrete.”

Patty Logiudice, the mother of an incoming freshman, said the construction was just begin-ning the last time they were at Kent State.

“It’s beautiful,” Logiudice said. “They’ve come a long way since that weekend we were here.”

Not everybody was happy with the result of the summer construction, however.

“It’s OK,” said Scott Kazakis, senior comput-er science major. “There are more flowers than seats…There are these patches of grass and it’s just like, what is that?”

before leaving, realizing it was a new start for her, too.

“I can’t believe that this jour-ney is beginning,” Stacy said. “It’s waiting to exhale — you hold your breath for 18 years, and now I’m not holding my breath anymore and all I can do is cry.”

The t wo arr ived in Kent Wednesday afternoon after an eight-hour drive from their home-town of Edison, N.J. It’s Kor-ryn’s first year at Kent State as an anthropology major.

“I thought, this drive is the last eight hours I have her the way she is now,” Stacy said. “The next time I see her, she’ll be a different person, but I’ll be a different person, too.”

It’s been just the two of them since Korryn was 3-years-old, and as she grew up, the mother and daughter duo became best friends.

“We fight like best friends, we’ l l cuddle up a nd watch movies on rainy days like best friends. I will miss that. She knows me better than anybody,” Stacy said.

The pair hasn’t spent more than two weeks apart from each other, whether it was Korryn’s senior trip to Europe or a vaca-tion with her grandparents, but Korryn admits she never forgot about her mom.

Kent State University Bookstore has implemented a new program this fall that allows students to rent textbooks. Assortments of books are available for rent per semester at a low cost — some as low as 50 percent off the price of a new book.

JESSICA YANESH | DAILY KENT STATERJunior business management major Dan Abbott shops for books with Julie Abbott at the Campus Bookstore on Saturday. They considered renting books instead of buying them for full price.

University Bookstore offers rental booksSome students still prefer to buy their textbooks online

JESSICA YANESH | DAILY KENT STATERPost-secondary student Adam Ruyten checks out of the Campus Bookstore on Saturday. Ruyten rented his books instead of paying the full price for new books.

The books that are offered to rent are recent-edition books with wide-spread popularity. Mike Margardt, the manager of Kent State University Book-store, said, “Only one-third of books are rentable.”

There is no limit of how many books can be rented per semester. This semes-ter is a trial run for rentable books at Kent State to see if it will be successful at the bookstore and to bring in more customers.

“We experimented in 20 stores last year, and it was very successful, so Kent adopted the program,” Margardt said.

University Bookstore is the only store on campus that is offering rent-able books through Follett. A fee is charged to the book renter’s credit card if the book is not returned by the date

specified on the receipt. Rentable books may be returned

with writing and highlighting as long as the book is salvageable with no spine damage, according to the terms and condition on the e-Follett website.

Kate Cunningham, a junior nursing major, said she was able to spend more time looking into rental books because she lives near campus. She found one out of the four books she needed.

“I rented my book for my Human Evolution class and saved $80,” she said.

She also said she purchased the majority of her books online.

“I got the rest of them at Borders Marketplace online, and there I saved a few hundred dollars.”

Student book shopping selections vary from online to campus stores.

Jamie Johnson, a junior psychology major, said buying books online is the best for her because she lives more than an hour away. Johnson also said there is a limited amount of books for rent. She prefers to purchase books so she can choose to keep them or sell them back if she doesn’t need them.

“I buy used books online because it’s convenient, cheap and I can keep my books,” Johnson said. “With renting books, I have to return them.”

Five steps to a great first semester

Google has turned evil

Feminism, like any label, is often limiting and is frequently misconstrued because of the strong emotions that the word evokes. It is because of this height-ened emotional connotation that I began to try and understand feminism. As a man, I will never experience what women experience, and I realize that without this experience, it is naturally difficult for me to empathize. I do, however, believe that this obstacle should not stop me from try-ing. I began my journey of understanding by contacting Dr. Suzanne Holt, the direc-tor of Women’s Studies at Kent State. Con-versing with her, listening to her points of view, many coming from a feminist perspective, she enlightened me of a major misconception.

“Our culture’s mindset at present con-tains some unfortunate presumptions,” Holt said. “Among them: that to be a true woman means certain things and that feminism is against all of those things. If it means being a mother, then feminism is against being a mother. If it means being a wife, then femi-nism is against being a wife. So, there’s this presumption that whatever has been the good, traditional values ascribed to women, feminism is against all of those God-given, right and natural values. So, as feminists in a context of such powerful, well-maintained presumptions, we’re up against a wall there. Because this sort of vantage point pits women against women, and it pits women against men — and vice versa.”

Feminism also carries the misconception that in order to be a feminist, you have to hate men — not true. Dr. Holt believes “one of the most damaging misconceptions has to be the whole man-hating stigma.”

“If I’m pro-woman, then I’m anti-man … or that I blame them all … for everything wrong with the lives of women. There is this very fundamental confusion wherever differences have been the basis for different treatment — different rights.”

The stirred antagonism between men and women can distract us from seeing past or through our differences.

When I asked her how feminists should battle these misconceptions, Dr. Holt asked me to ponder the idea that maybe — facing the future just now — Feminism should be about building and not battling. This simple suggestion opened my eyes to a whole other perspective. The word battle implies that there is a winner and a loser. Why should someone have to lose? When discussing equality, there should never be a loser. The word build, on the other hand, makes no

A man trying to understand feminism

Google is no longer the antithesis of evil. Instead, Google has matured into a proper American company — one whose shareholders hold more sway than inner morality.

The company once heralded for its mantra of “Don’t be evil,” recently tossed itself headfirst into the net neutrality war. A framework proposal written jointly with Verizon (an ultimate evil when it comes to net neutrality) was released on Aug. 9 and has caused a firestorm among net neutrality activists. Why? Google has turned evil.

The Federal Communications Commis-sion (FCC) is on the precipice of defining Internet service providers (ISPs) as tele-communication rather than information companies. This action would give the FCC much more power to regulate the actions of these ISPs. However, the FCC has lacked a clear framework to base reg-ulations upon. Verizon and Google want to shape such a framework.

The idea behind net neutrality is to prevent ISPs from routing specific infor-mation based on price. An example of this routing would be Comcast signing

Being a college student is the greatest combination of responsibility by day, irresponsibility by night. Studious serenity and drunken revelry clash like

never before.And while you’ve probably got it under con-

trol, a little motherly nagging never hurts. So here’s some advice from some Kent State vet-erans.

Step one: Buy your books early. They fly off the shelves, and if you wait, all the good deals will be gone. If you don’t need them all, return them. If you do need them all, use them. Simple as that.

Measuring life by an odometer

DON WRIGHT’S VIEW

I’m sitting here in my car at the Great Sauk Trail rest area of Illinois munching on a McGriddle I picked up when I took the off ramp to Geneseo. The road signs notified me that I’m nearing the town where Ronald Reagan was born, and I’m reminded that last week I started out in the state where the former president served as governor.

I made it 2,000 miles into the 2,500-mile journey to school before I started to have problems with my transmission. This is the second time in less than a week I have driven this stretch of Highway 80 from Iowa to Kent, and I realize how much of my life can be mea-sured by the miles ticking by on the odometer.

My relationship with my car is a lot like the one most people have with their pets. I know every creak, groan, whistle and squeak this car makes. When I know that something is wrong, I know I have to deal with it. The problems life throws at you — even if they are automotive — can’t be ignored, but knowing you don’t have to deal with those problems alone makes overcoming them a lot easier. Sometimes, the advice of an expert can get you through a situ-ation that might otherwise seem insurmountable.

From an early memory of a car rocking back and forth during the Loma Prieta earthquake and through multiple cross-continent road trips, one car or another has taken me to more places and through more of the major events in my life than can be counted.

Back when the world was young, in an age when pogs were cool, problems were no more seri-ous than learning how to ride a bicycle. Now we have to worry about getting the right internship, not failing classes, getting enough scholarships to avoid back-break-ing loans and landing a good job

once we finally graduate.Now, with another year just

beginning, it is important to make contacts and friends that will help get you through the rough times. Sometimes life’s challenges pro-vide the opportunity to meet the experts who can help you steer around the potholes along the road to graduation.

Your friends can help you over emotional hurdles and your professors help you navigate the academic ones. And a good auto mechanic can help you avoid emptying your wallet, paying for a new transmission.

You may not always have the right answer and the advice you are given may not always be good, but you‘ll never get anywhere stuck in neutral. So put your car in drive and take a chance by riding off into the unknown once in a while. “The best years of your life” are what you make of them. I guarantee there will be ups and downs and that there will come a time when your transmission eats itself because you didn’t know it had to check its automotive fluids. But if you take the good and the bad equally for the opportunity that life is, then I also guarantee that you’ll never run out of highway.

However, it’s getting late and unless I want to reach Kent at 4 a.m., I will get back on the road most traveled by. Like Robert Frost said, “I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.”

Step two: Remember to budget enough time to get to class. If you’re driving, walking or taking the bus, campus will be packed, and we all know there’s never enough parking. It’s rumored that some professors even lock the classroom door, barring late-comers from get-ting in.

Step three: Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re lost, confused or failing all your classes. Your professors won’t come to you to help you out. But if you go to them, they’ll do all they can for you.

Step four: Pay attention to the smaller details. Take a walk around campus, and enjoy the new

art. Do college things like getting coffee with your professors — many of them are quite bril-liant. Do your homework outside while it’s still nice out.

Finally, enjoy the semester. College is a great reminder of how time flies. Classes seem to last forever, but before you know it they’re over.

As you settle in to your new routine and bid summer a sweet farewell, make sure to embrace changes the semester brings. It’s a new semester, a new year and a fresh start — make it count.

The above editorial is the consensus opinion of the Daily Kent Stater editorial board whose

members are listed to the left.

a deal with Facebook to allow Facebook.com to load very quickly. As a part of the deal, Comcast would also purposefully delay NBC and YouTube to a slow crawl. The consumer would be choked by the big-money websites, leaving nonprofits and blogs to die from incredibly slow load times.

No longer is Google determined to fight for consumer rights. This is a com-pany whose Gmail allowed a gigabyte of storage before competitors offered 10 megabytes. This is a company that allows employees to devote 20 percent of their time to whatever they desire. For years, Google has fought for net neutrality regulations. Now it has chosen to support corporate greed.

The Google-Verizon framework states that a company would be “prohibited from engaging in undue discrimination against any lawful Internet content.” However, when it comes to wireless ser-

vice — where standard Internet is head-ing in the very near future — this frame-work asserts that “[its] unique technical and operational characteristics” exempt wireless Internet providers from adhering to net neutrality regulations. Get ready to pay for premium content on the Inter-net. This unfortunate proposal allows “additional or differentiated services” to be hawked by ISPs. Rather than allowing the Internet to regulate its own content that can be sent, providers want to be able to charge consumers for the privilege of accessing currently free content.

Google’s framework would create a non-governmental body to oversee law-ful adherence by the service providers — effectively giving the corporations the power to regulate themselves. The maximum penalty the FCC could charge a service provider would be $2 million — chump change for these companies.

such implications. Obviously feminism, like most social movements, had to begin with a battle; a loud cry of “No!” had to be heard by a male-dominated society and its biased institutions. In many ways, this cry is still falling on deaf ears, and subsequent battles must be fought. But, from the victory of these battles, new foundations must be laid, and we must build on them. Perhaps this is the right time to do that, capturing the posi-tive potential of a new ideal born of femi-nism, its advances and the critical responses to them. “Together, men and women can start a new wave of — maybe we even need to rename it — a kind of feminist thinking that sees mutual respect and mutual under-standing as values that together we share.”

We need to distance ourselves from the implications that feminism is a polarizing movement — the mentality that feminism is “us versus them.” We can no longer antago-nize each other by the use of objectification and disparagement. These negative actions will unite no one, and they will solve nothing. In order to build, however, we need to grow into the mutual respect that Dr. Holt discussed. I’m not sure if we’ll ever reach that level of under-standing, but the only way it can be achieved is if we, as individuals, claim the responsibility for making the change.

“When I went to Europe, af ter a week of not being around her, I started talking to people about her,” Korryn said. “You’re used to having that person around that you can talk to and tell every-thing to, and to leave that, it’s weird.”

So when it came to choos-ing col leges, Stacy didn’t expect her daughter to choose a college so far away.

“I would have liked her to stay close to home, but the promise I made to myself was that I was not going to burst her bubble,” Stacy admits.

Ko r r y n s a id s h e wa s accepted to four other col-leges on the East coast, but when it came to her degree, Kent State was the only one that offered a bachelor of sci-ence in anthropology and the funds to afford school.

While Stacy admits she really didn’t have the money to send Korryn to school, she refused to tell her they couldn’t afford it.

“It’s sort of like, I thank God for not making me a liar — you’re whole life you just say work hard and believe that it ’s going to happen,” Stacy said. “Sometimes in the back of my head I didn’t believe myself, but you can’t show that on the outside.”

Now that Korryn has set-tled into Verder Hall, she said she’s excited to start classes

“It’s really bright and airy,” Bruder said. “Before you go in, remember what it looked like before. I think the difference is just striking.”

Furthermore, the bus stop by the plaza has been torn down, with a new bus stop built into the side of the Kiva nearest Ris-man Drive.

“I like the new bus stop,” said Dexter Collins, sophomore computer science major. “The old one was just kind of a box.”

Other lower-profile projects were also in the works, includ-ing bathroom renovations in McDowell Hall.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Mexico’s government on Sunday promised to increase security after a series of explosive devices were detonated in the border city of Reynosa, and officials said they would step up efforts to identify more of the 72 migrants massacred last week in the same state.

The Interior Department said it “energetically condemned” the explosions in Reynosa, located in Tamaulipas state across the border from McAllen, Texas, but did not confirm local media reports that the explosions were caused by three hand grenades and that they had wounded roughly a dozen people.

The department confirmed there were victims, and offered to help them.

The Reynosa city govern-ment said on its Twitter site that “an explosive device” detonated downtown near the La Quebradita bar on Saturday, and advised resi-dents to stay out of the area. Cross-border traffic was not affected.

Local media reported that nine of the 12 victims were wounded seriously, though the city could not confirm the reports. The area has been the scene of bloody turf battles between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas, the gang that a survivor named in the migrant slaughter discovered last Tuesday in San Fernando, a town near Reynosa.

The Central and Southern Americans were killed after they refused to work for the gang, according to Mexican officials. Drug gangs have branched out into human trafficking for extor-tion and to recruit members.

Thirty-five had been identified by Sunday: 16 Hondurans, 13 Sal-vadorans, five Guatemalans and a Brazilian. Documents belonging to another Brazilian man were found at the scene of the killings, but his body has not been identified. The lone survivor, an Ecuadorean, escaped and reported the slaugh-ter to the Mexican military.

Diplomats from the victims’ home countries have traveled to Tamaulipas to get firsthand

reports on the identification efforts. Most of those identified so far carried documents. But bodies found without documents present a much bigger challenge.

Guatemala offered to send a plane to pick up five victims identified so far from that coun-try. Families of three said they received telephone calls earlier in the month demanding $2,000 for their relatives’ release. Gua-temala’s foreign ministry said it was still trying to contact families of the other two dead.

Migrants hopping freight trains through Mexico to get to the Unit-ed States are often subjected to kidnappings, beatings and extor-tion along the way.

A group of them protested Saturday in the railroad town of Arriaga in southern Chiapas state, where many Central and South American migrants cross the bor-der from Guatemala.

The Rev. Hayman Vazquez, a Roman Catholic priest who runs the Casa del Migrante shelter in Arriaga, said about 120 people marched along the railroad tracks to the city hall with banners read-ing “Please respect us,” and “The kidnapping of migrants in Mexico is a humanitarian tragedy.”

Vazquez said undocumented migrants continued to arrive at the shelter this week. Even when told of the massacre, most said they would still try to reach the U.S. because there are no opportunities in their home countries, he said.

Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes said Saturday he wanted to meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon to coordinate efforts to combat drug violence. More than 28,000 Mexicans have been killed in drug-related vio-lence since Calderon launched an offensive against the cartels in late 2006.

“This war is not going to be won using the tools and methods traditionally used to fight crime,” Funes said. “The challenge posed by the criminals requires other responses, other weapons, and intelligence.”

The Kent State Soccer team overcame an early own-goal yesterday to take a 2-2 tie with Cleveland State in Cleveland.

Just three minutes into the game, Cleveland State took a corner kick that deflected off a Kent State defender and into the Flashes’ net. Despite the defensive mishap, Kent State coach Rob Marinaro said he was impressed with his team’s per-formance and fight against the Viking’s strong defense.

“Com i ng back f rom t hat situation was a strong sign of character from our team,” Mar-inaro said. “Working all the way back to take the lead was rather impressive.”

Kent State running backs coach Jerry McManus, who coached three 1,000-yard rush-ers at East Carolina in eight years, said not only does the group bring different elements to the team’s offense, but also the depth they give Kent State is a rarity.

“I have four running backs we can put in the football game and really not lose a beat,” McManus said. “That’s probably unusual at the Division I level. Usually you can run two deep or three deep,

The Kent State field hockey team split its opening weekend at the James Madison Field Hockey Complex with a victory over Wil-liam and Mary Saturday and a shutout from No. 12 James Madi-son yesterday.

Although senior goalkeeper Caroline Suitch made five saves, James Madison managed to score four goals early on in the first half.

“We had a bump in the road in the first half,” said Kent State coach Kathleen Schanne. “All of the goals were scored in less than five minutes.”

Kent State seemed to get on track for a victory after that, col-lecting more shots and penalty corners than the Bulldogs.

“We stayed in the moment and played with a lot of passion,” Schanne said. “We had our oppor-tunities, but we just didn’t come out with a win.”

Senior captain Rachel Miller said the defeat came more from a mental hurdle than a physical one.

“We really came out in that first game ready and raring to go, and we didn’t really come out as hard in the second,” Miller said. “I think that’s something we can learn and improve on: Be ready for the second game, and bring it on.”

While the team may not have had the mental stamina for the two-game weekend, Schanne said she has faith in the team’s future games.

“I couldn’t believe more in a group than I do in these student athletes,” Schanne said. “We just scratched the surface on what we’ve learned about each other, so we’re looking forward to con-tinuing that in the next couple of months.”

One aspect the team will work on is coordinating the strongest defense possible.

With previously injured juniors Stephanie Albarez and Carla Johl back on the field, the Flashes have the luxury of toying around with several strong players to see what lineup would be the most success-ful.

“We’re really healthy right now, so we have a lot of options,” Schanne said. “It’s been exciting to try those out.”

The formula on Saturday seemed to work out.

Keeping up with traditions, the team won its third-straight season opener against William and Mary.

The Flashes overpowered the Tribe, 4-1, with four different play-ers contributing goals.

“Four different people scoring just shows the opposition how dangerous many people (on our team) can be this year,” Miller said.

Two-time All-American Miller was the first to start the scoring trend, but she said it was a really a team goal.

“It came up from the back play, and then there was a really good assist from (junior) Debbie Bell,” Miller said. “It was something the team had really worked for, and it was great to put it away for them.”

Bell got her own goal later on,

“We got to see some of our weaknesses against live compe-tition,” Conley said. “We’ll have to head back to the gym to fix those.

“Traditionally, we’ve been one of the stronger blocking

Kent State controlled the pace of the game by maintaining pos-session of the ball and releasing a barrage of shots. As a team, Kent State took 25 shots, with four players recording three or more in the game.

“We wanted to go out and go as hard as we could, win the first tackle, and work as hard as we could to win every ball,” senior forward Kelly Heaton said. “We wanted to leave everything on the field, and we definitely did.”

Although Kent State chal-lenged Cleveland State goal-keeper Kelly Zinkiewich often, she racked up 10 saves to hold the game to a draw.

Jessacca Gironda led the Flash-es on offense in just her second college appearance. The fresh-man had a hand in both of Kent State’s goals, recording a goal and an assist during the game.

In the 19th minute, Gironda passed the ball to Heaton, who was waiting just outside the left corner of the penalty box. With a quick turn and set-up touch, Heaton laced a shot off the far post and into the net to tie the game.

Two minutes into the second half, Flanagan dribbled up the field and touched the ball off to

Gironda, who one-timed it just out of the reach of Zinkiewich. Gironda’s second goal in as many games put Kent State up 2-1.

Less than ten minutes later, Cleveland State evened the score when Natalie Daniels slipped past the Kent State defense to even the score, 2-2.

Kent State had opportunities with 13 shots on goal, compared to Cleveland State’s four, but the Flashes were unable to capitalize yesterday.

“It’s frustrating,” said senior forward Annie Messer, who placed two shots on goal. “Our heart and our fight was there, we just came out with a tie.”

“We had our opportunities to win,” Marinaro said. “We need to build more confidence in the final third. We’re getting a lot of opportunities — which is fan-tastic — and our kids are doing their best with things. So we’ll continue training and working on that final finish.”

Last week the Flashes opened their season with a 2-1 home loss to Illinois State. Gironda scored in her college debut off a pass from freshman defender Mor-gan Mah to tie the game in the 87th minute, but seconds later the Redbirds retaliated with the

as did senior Katie George and freshman Melanie Kahn, who was making her collegiate field hockey debut.

“We’re all about giving 100 percent effort, everyone touching the ball and playing as a team,” Schanne said. “We really do try to play team hockey, and you can see that through the score line.”

The team will continue to work together during this week of prac-tice and learn from its experiences this weekend.

but we have four running backs that played last year. That’s a nice luxury to have.”

That fourth running back is junior Andre Flowers. Caught in the middle of the team’s crowded backfield, Flowers has displayed glimpses of talent during his career, but has never risen on the depth chart.

Jarvis, who was named a team captain for the 2010 season, has become a mentor of sorts to his younger counterparts. When Archer arrived on campus, he was a thousand miles away from his hometown of Laurel, Fla., and struggled to come to terms with being away from his family and friends. While the timid, but talented freshman pondered a

return to Florida, Jarvis stepped in and convinced him to stay.

“Coming in, these two (Jarvis and Terry) were like my big brothers,” Archer said. “They got me through everything on the field, off the field, school, work and they just helped me out with everything.”

As the season opens Thurs-day, the three running backs are eagerly waiting to make an impact on game day. Terry said the group is confident in their abilities, and with the talent on the offensive side of the ball, it’s going to be a special year for Kent State.

“The three horsemen will be in effect a lot this year,” Terry said.

Ben Roethlisberger gave way to his backups after a quick night’s work. Now, he can get ready to make his case for a shortened suspension, too.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed during Denver’s 34-17 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday night that commissioner Roger Goodell and the Steelers quar-terback will meet soon, but he declined to say when or where the meeting would take place.

Roeth l isberger was sus-pended for six games after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student in March. He was not criminally charged in the case.

If Roethlisberger’s suspen-sion is reduced to four games, he’ll be back for their game against Cleveland on Oct. 17. Otherwise, he’ll be out until the Steelers visit New Orleans on Halloween night.

After Roethlisberger was pulled, Dennis Dixon got his first significant playing time with the starters. Dixon has started only one NFL game, and he is expected to be Byron Left-wich’s backup when the season starts and Roethlisberger’s sus-pension begins.

Dixon didn’t make a good impression Sunday night, throw-ing two costly interceptions.

Rookie cornerback Perrish Cox picked off the first one in the end zone, a pass that Dix-on should have thrown away. Andre’ Goodman returned Dixon’s second interception 77 yards for a touchdown with 11 seconds left in the second quar-ter that gave Denver a 17-3 half-time lead.

Dixon finished 9-of-16 for 94 yards, two interceptions and a pair of sacks by Robert Ayers.

Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton was shaken up in the first half and left the game briefly after taking a hit from lineback-er James Harrison.

Orton tried to make the tack-le after Harrison picked up a loose ball and rumbled toward the end zone in the second quar-ter. Orton tried to tackle him low but Harrison put his helmet down and hit Orton on the back of the head and his left shoulder as he fell out of bounds.

While Orton was down, the officials huddled and ruled the play was an incomplete pass. Brady Quinn replaced Orton and was sacked on the next snap. Orton returned to the game on the Broncos’ next series.

Orton finished 9-for-14 for 80 yards with one interception, by William Gay.

Rookie Tim Tebow made his home debut for Denver. He missed last week’s game with bruised ribs he sustained on a 7-yard dart into the end zone on the game’s final play in his pro debut at Cincinnati.

Although Tebow saved the touchdown with a tackle at the 5 on Crezdon Butler’s 40-yard interception return, Jonathan Dwyer (89 yards on 13 carries) took it in from there to cut it to 20-10 in the fourth quarter.

Tebow quickly atoned, driv-ing Denver 74 yards in five plays, capped by a 3-yard TD strike to fellow rookie Eric Decker.

And Charlie Batch respond-ed to that with a TD drive that made it 27-17 on Antonio Brown’s 7-yard scoring grab. But Batch’s next drive resulted in a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown by rookie Syd’Quan Thompson that gave Denver a 34-17 lead.

Minutes later, Thompson returned a punt 62 yards.

Pittsburgh linebacker James

Farrior left the game after suf-fering a head laceration in the first quarter. Farrior’s helmet went flying when he helped stuff running back LenDale White for no gain on second-and-goal at the 2.

Farrior was led off the field with a towel pressed against the right side of his head, although he wasn’t gushing blood like New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was after losing his helmet on a hard hit earlier in the preseason.

White scored a touchdown on the next play, his first for his hometown team that brought him into camp after injuries to Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter, neither of whom has played in the preseason.

The Broncos’ bot t led-up ground game finally found some traction with Lance Ball gaining 75 yards on 10 carries.

T he Steelers com m it ted four personal fouls in the first half. Punter Daniel Sepulveda’s experiment at kicking off, some-thing kicker Jeff Reed has done since 2002, didn’t go well Sunday night. His opening kickoff went out of bounds for the first of six first-half flags on Pittsburgh.

Notes: Sitting this one out for Pittsburgh were starting DBs Bryant McFadden (pectoral muscle) and Ryan Clark. Keenan Lewis started at cornerback for McFadden and Will Allen replaced Clark at safety. Clark also sat out last year’s regular season game in Denver because playing at a high altitude can trigger a red blood cell condi-tion that caused him to lose his spleen and gall bladder after a 2007 game at Invesco Field. Steelers S Da’mon Cromartie-Smith injured a shoulder in the second half and didn’t return.

I walked onto Kent State’s campus three years ago still wearing shirts from my high school. I bled my school’s red and Columbia blue colors.

I was also in marching band my fresh-man year, which meant I had to sit through Kent State’s 3-9 football season (which included a 49-3 beatdown by Ohio State). I remember wondering why anyone would actually want to watch this school.

Three years later, I’m sitting at a desk in the newsroom in Franklin Hall as this semester’s sports editor wondering why students aren’t more excited about Kent State sports.

All but three of Kent State’s teams post-ed winning records last y ear. The Flashes collected nine Mid-American Conference championships. Kent State picked up both the Reese and Jacoby cups — awards for the best men’s and women’s sports pro-grams in the MAC.

And then there’s that national award: The Excellence in Management Cup for the athletics program that wins the most conference and national championships while spending the least amount of mon-ey. Granted, all of Kent State’s champion-ships were in the MAC, which isn’t exactly a power conference, but a national award is a national award, right? So take that, USC.

My point is, you can put away that high school letterman jacket and TiVo Ohio State’s season opener Thursday. Instead, go to Dix Stadium and watch senior run-ning back Eugene Jarvis’s return as Kent State opens against Murray State. And then take in a field hockey game at Mur-phy-Mellis Stadium or a volleyball match in the M.A.C. Center.

Heck, go join the Cowbell Crew (Kent State’s student cheering section) while you’re at it.

This semester, my staff and I will work tirelessly to provide you the most compre-hensive coverage of Kent State sports out there. We’ll be writing, shooting video, taking photos, tweeting, blogging and traveling to road games throughout this fall for you, the fans.

So I hope you check this page out every once in a while and let us know how we’re doing. And I hope you enjoy the content my staff and I produce this semester.

Because we believe Kent State is worth covering. And worth watching.

and that depth is invaluable because somebody is going to get hurt at some point,” Kent State coach Doug Martin said. “There are no egos with those guys, which is rare. Usually you do have some of that, but we don’t. Also we’re using Jacquise as a receiver a bit so we can get two of them on the field at the same time.”

The drive of one Kent State volley-ball player pushed the entire team to a winning season-opening weekend.

Junior outside hitter Maigan Lar-sen posted 34 kills and five service aces en route to leading the Flashes to a 3-1 weekend in the Spartan Classic at Norfolk State. For her efforts, Lar-sen was named to the Spartan Classic All-Tournament Team.

“She’s not the biggest member or the tallest member on the court, but she plays like it,” Kent State coach Glen Conley said. “She brings the fight and the determination that we’re

going to win this match, and that goes a long way.”

Conley said the team calls Larsen “the Bulldog” as a nickname because of the attitude she brings into each match.

“She is tenacious,” he said. “She comes out and goes 100 percent from the very first serve until the very last.”

This season’s 3-1 start is a morale boost for the roster after failing to pull out a victory in its first seven matches last season.

“Last year, we were in a completely different situation,” said Conley about his team that brings seven new play-ers. “There was a lot of chemistry and communication issues starting last

During the Spartan Classic, Kent State proved communication wouldn’t be a major issue in the early games of the season.

The Kent State University Muse-um is presenting a yearlong exhibit of private collections of art pottery and “functional art.”

The exhibit, titled “Collectors and Collection,” is on display in Rockwell Hall’s Tarter/Miller, Mull and Palmer Galleries until June 2011.

“Collectors and Collecting” considers what it means to collect and why people do that,” Museum Curator Sara Hume said. The exhib-it focuses on private collections, which were donated throughout, or after, the collectors’ lives.

To create the exhibit, Hume pulled select groupings of objects from the museum’s property, pro-ducing “individual collections within one large collection.”

The first gallery of the exhibit uti-lizes the museum’s holding of Ohio art pottery, most of which comes from the Paige Palmer and Jabe Tarter and Paul Miller collections. The Paige Palmer collection consists of intricate bowls and vases.

Donations from Tarter and Miller, who left over 10,000 objects to the Kent State Museum, include vases and jugs from the 19th cen-tury.

The exhibit continues with the display of “functional art,” and an array of objects from the museum’s Wilkinson-Gould, Silverman-Rodger and Carolyn and Robert Bemis col-lections. These collections include painted snuffboxes, porcelain bowls, horn-shaped ink wells, wax seals and even small beaded purses.

Collectors and Collecting con-cludes in the Palmer Gallery, where lamps from the Tarter and Miller collection take center stage. Electric, oil and — of course — lava lamps line the walls.

“Someone decided they needed to have all of these things,” Hume said, “and I found that intriguing.”

NEW ORLEANS — Five years after Hurricane Katrina’s wrath, President Barack Obama sought to reassure disaster-weary Gulf Coast residents Sunday that he would not abandon their cause.

“My administration is going to stand with you, and fight alongside you, until the job is done,” Obama said to cheers at Xavier University, a historically black, Catholic university that was badly flooded by the storm.

The president said there are still too many vacant lots, trailers serving as class-rooms, displaced residents and people out of work. But he said New Orleanians have shown amazing resilience.

“Because of you,” the president declared, “New Orleans is coming back.”

Obama spoke five years to the day from when Hurricane Katrina roared onshore in Louisiana, tearing through levees and flooding 80 percent of New Orleans. More than 1,800 people along the Gulf Coast died, mostly in Louisiana.

Even as the region struggled to put despair behind it, hardship struck again this year in the form of the BP oil spill. More than 200 million gallons of oil surged into the Gulf of Mexico before the well was capped in mid-July. New Orleans’ econo-

Eric WernerAssociated Press Writer

Obama commits to revival of Gulf Coastmy, heavily dependent on tourism and the oil and gas industry, was set back anew.

Standing in front of a large American flag with students arrayed behind him, Obama boasted of his administration’s efforts to respond to the Gulf spill, saying one of his promises — to stop the leak — has been kept.

“The second promise I made was that we would stick with our efforts, and stay on BP, until the damage to the Gulf and to the lives of the people in this region was reversed,” Obama said. “And this, too, is a promise we will keep.”

But Obama’s speech didn’t offer any new plans for restoring the Gulf, bringing New Orleans’ fast-disappearing wetlands back to life or cleaning up BP’s spilled oil. Some residents had hoped Obama would take the opportunity to announce an early end to the deepwater drilling moratorium he enacted after the spill. But he made no mention of the moratorium, which people here say is costing jobs.

Obama did offer a list of accomplish-ments on Katrina recovery he said his administration has achieved, including helping move residents out of temporary housing, streamlining money for schools and restoration projects, and working to rebuild the poorly maintained levee system that failed the city when Katrina struck.

He promised that work on a fortified

levee system would be finished by next year, “so that this city is protected against a 100-year storm. Because we should not be playing Russian roulette every hurri-cane season.”

Implicit in Obama’s remarks was an indictment of sorts against former Presi-dent George W. Bush’s administration for its handling of the crisis. Obama called Katrina and its aftermath not just a natural disaster but “a manmade catastrophe — a shameful breakdown in government that left countless men, women and children abandoned and alone.”

But Obama has faced questions of his own about how his administration handled the Gulf spill, including accusations offi-cials moved too slowly and deferred too much to BP. The White House has scram-bled repeatedly to right the response, pleasing Gulf Coast residents with a $20 billion victims’ compensation fund Obama pushed BP to establish. But there is still plenty of skepticism among Gulf Coast residents about government promises, and Obama sought to alleviate that.

“In Washington, we are restoring competence and accountability,” he said. “We’re putting in place reforms so that never again in America is someone left behind in a disaster.”

Arriving without any new policy announcements or benefits for the city,

Obama appeared to hope in part that his mere presence would reassure residents they were not forgotten. For some, it might have been enough.

Obama toured Columbia Parc, a devel-opment of attractive new townhouses that’s replacing the St. Bernard Housing Development that flooded during Katrina. He met a longtime resident who had to be rescued from her home in a boat after Katrina struck. Several dozen demonstra-tors, protesting a shortage of affordable public housing, chanted nearby: “Hous-ing is a human right.”

And Obama dropped in at the Park-way Bakery and Tavern, a local institution known for shrimp and roast beef po’boys, which was underwater after Katrina. “I appreciate you coming here,” one woman told him. He responded with a hug.

After his speech, Obama defended his administration’s handling of the oil spill in an interview with “NBC Nightly News.” The president said that “because of the sturdiness and swiftness of the response, there’s a lot less oil hitting these shores and these beaches than anybody would have anticipated given the volume that was coming out of the BP oil well.”

LATHAM, Ohio (AP) — Authorities have found more than 40,000 pot plants in Ohio this month — almost as many as officials uncovered in the state in all of last year.

Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification special agent supervisor Scott Duff says he expects those numbers to increase in the com-ing years as outdoor pot-growing operations are becoming more common in places like rural Ohio.

“I don’t think they’re going away,” Duff said.

Earlier this month, state and local offi-cials found about 22,000 marijuana plants in a small village in southern Ohio called Latham. The bust was so big authorities chose to burn the plants in the outdoor area where they were found, instead of destroying them elsewhere.

Officials say the people who own the Latham property where the plants were found didn’t know what was growing on their land until authorities arrived.

The bust in Latham — a village where

Ohio authorities find 40,000 pot plants this month

locals can pour their own coffee before they’re seated at a diner — represents the state’s efforts to combat drug traffickers who use land in rural Ohio to grow marijuana.

The combination of hills, forests and a shortage in sheriffs’ officers makes southern Ohio a ready target for more pot farms.

Little is known about the workers who tend to hidden marijuana farms in Ohio. Since state and local officials started busting larger-scale farms three years ago, only seven men have been arrested.

Duff said Mexican drug cartels are becom-ing bolder in their quest for high-quality weed that’s grown in the U.S.

Drug Enforcement Agency special agent Rich Isaacson agreed that outdoor pot-grow-ing operations are becoming more common in the U.S. — and moving out of their tra-ditional locations on the West Coast. Still, Isaacson said most of the marijuana in the U.S. crosses the border from Mexico.
