OSU dissolves position I was after, for now

A little more than two months after I submitted my resume online to the Ohio State University, and after many e-mails back and forth, I received the following message yesterday afternoon:

Hi Rick,

I’m sorry to tell you that the Web Communications Specialist position has been canceled.  There is currently some reorganization going on in our department; positions are shifting and changing. Because of that, we have decided to rethink the Web Communications Specialist position. We are not sure whether we are going to re-post it at a later date, completely re-tool it, or delete it altogether.

Pelted Buckeyes fans were OSU Pikes

Wylie StempleThe Buckeyes fans assaulted in the penn state tailgate video were OSU Pikes. It was senior active Wylie Stemple (pictured right) and some friends. He was interviewed by NBC4 Columbus.

“We hadn’t really said anything to anybody,” said Stemple. “We walked in and everyone started booing at us and yelling stuff at us, so we walked over to a couple of guys in charge and when we looked up, that’s when the first beer can flew and after that it started raining beer cans everywhere.”

Stemple said he was shocked that members of another Pi Kappa Alpha house assaulted him. And then days later, the video appeared on YouTube.

“It brought back a lot of what actually happened. That’s my roommate that got hit with the can. We got hurt by it. (It) was kind of upsetting to see that over again,” Stemple said.

A video of the interview can be found on NBC4i.com here. Click on the video tab above the photo.
