or 1 SP 4 1 I THE PLAIN DEALER OCTOBER 3, 1995 Ohio TUESDAY OSU students blame police for riot Buckeye victory sets off fires, bottle throwing By BENJAMIN MARRISON PLAIN DEALER BUREAU COLUMBUS They burned mattresses and dressers. They heaved chunks of concrete and a bathtub into the street. And they tossed bottles at police officers, firefighters and each other. All in the name of victory. Ohio State University and Columbus police officials yesterday were at a loss to explain the destruction in the south campus area after the Buckeyes' 45-26 victory over Notre Dame Saturday.
According to the students, overzealous police are to blame. "They wanted to make an example of us, and they went too far," said Jeana Nicely, a sophom*ore from St. Clairsville. "Police said people were trying to tip over fire trucks, but that was after 20 vans of cops came into the area tossing tear gas at everyone." While the damage was minimal, about 28 people were arrested when the violence erupted on a 150-yard stretch of 12th said Commander Steve Gammill." All told, 47 arrests were following the game, more than half of which stemmed from the disturbance on 12th. "They were burning anything they could possibly burn," Gammill said.
"There were 18 fires set in a one-block area. And when we tried to get the firefighters in there, they threw bottles at them." The police then shot canisters of tear gas into the crowds, forcing revelers back into their apartments. But Gammill said that once the fires were put out, the vandals would return and set other things ablaze. This continued from 11 p.m. Saturday until 5 a.m.
Sunday. Saturday's incident was the third time in 12 months that what police term a major "civil disturbance" erupted on the street all after sporting events. Students complained that police overreacted to the partying, saying there was no need to use tear gas.

Voinovich yesterday completed his appointments to the State Board of Education, naming Cincinnati Bell Chairman Dwight H. Hibbard to the board. Voinovich said Hibbard's business background and community leadership in Cincinnati make him an "outstanding" addition to the now 19-member board. The hybrid board, composed of 11 independently elected mem- 'Police said people were trying to tip over fire trucks, but that was after 20 vans of cops came into the area tossing tear gas at JEANA NICELY, student at OSU really unjustified," said Allison Smith, a sophom*ore journalism major from Akron. "There were many innocent people randomly." She and others described police randomly hitting and arresting people, and said they used tear gas and chemical Mace excessively.
Both Smith and Nicely said the violence escalated only after police shot the tear gas. "I think both parties overreacted," said Kevin Sheriff, president of OSU's Undergraduate Student Government. Pressed on what the police should have done differently to control the violence, Sheriff changed his mind. "I don't know that there's another approach they should have taken," he said.

A joint House-Senate committee and officials at the $5 billion fund have been at loggerheads for months over whether the fund must turn over medical files. Lawmakers subpoenaed the records in June after The Plain Dealer reported that Cleveland police officers convicted of felonies were retiring on disability pensions. In many cases, the officers had worked until they were charged. Other officers who retired on disability later got another job, sometimes as police or firefighters. "There is widespread concern about a number of things over at police and fire and when they won't let our actuary go through tive committee wants answered i is their files, that only causes those why 30 percent to 40 percent of concerns to persist," said William Ohio police officers retire on disBatchelder of Medina, the No.

The charges ranged from disorderly conduct to arson, Gammill said. "The majority were not OSU students. They have these open parties where they put kegs of beer on their front lawns and anybody can help themselves. Well, anyone from anywhere can come, and they trash the area because they don't live there." S. Baroway, an OSU spokesman, said the university will support any criminal charges pressed against students, and said President E.
Gordon Gee might send a letter to the parents of those students involved. "As far as we know, no one was seriously injured, but someone easily could have. And it was very possible, with the way the wind was blowing, that one of those houses could have caught on fire," Gammill said. "This is getting out of hand." "There was even a guy who pulled up in a burrito truck selling burritos to the crowd," Gammill said. "It almost got to the point of being surreal." FOR FIVE DAYS FOR JUST A DAY.

"'We got zero cooperation," he said. 4 "The fraternities were excellent," Gammill noted. "They had large parties with hundreds of people there and no problems. This was the place it was bad. And we don't know why." Gammill said there were 30 police officers on 12th either in patrol cars, walking in riot gear, or on horseback.
There were another 50 officers standing by in case they were needed to control the hundreds of partygoers. Campuswide, Gammill said, there were about 100 police officers keeping people in line, although there were reports of 280 law enforcement officers being Fall foliage tips are only a hotline call away in Ohio Those golden leaves already littering the front lawn are only the warm-up act for fall's annual show. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources reports that the real fireworks are still ahead. Green remains the predominant color of foliage across most of the state, although fall's trademark reds, yellows and oranges are creeping into northeast Ohio. Because of dry conditions this year, peak color in the state may arrive a little earlier than the customary mid-October, agency experts predict.
More information about the state's fall color is available by calling the Fall Color Hotline at 614-265-7000 (a recorded message updated weekly through October) or the 1-800-BUCKEYE tourist information line. v. ri. 0140.
