For Ohio State football fans, Friday’s allocation of $150 million for the renovation of Ohio Stadium means more bathrooms, upgrades and VIP seating.To 365 students living in the Stadium Scholarship Dormitory, it means the end of 64-year-old tradition and finding a new home, possibly as soon as spring quarter.”It’s more than just a place to live. We’ve developed a real sense of belonging,” said Mike Douglas, a senior majoring in communications and four-year resident of the stadium dorm. “We have to go because the rich folk have to have their nice seating and they need to drive girders through the heart of this place.”Douglas and the residents of the stadium dorm feel that OSU didn’t properly account for the history and students of the stadium dorm before deciding on the renovations. “It makes me feel like they’re giving us lip service when they said they would ‘take care of us’ and then still get rid of the dorm. They’re just trying to sweep us under the rug,” said Douglas.Today, Douglas and other students will meet with Ohio State administrators to discuss the future of the stadium dorm residents. However, Douglas, who was one of the main organizers of the “Save Our Dorm” movement, believes it’s a moot point since the renovations have already been passed. “It’s pretty interesting that they held the trustees’ meeting on Friday but the first time we actually meet with the administration is on Monday,” he said.Aside from the relocation of the stadium dorm’s residents (Mack Hall has been suggested), the renovations will be wiping out over six decades of student history. Founded in 1933, the stadium dorm is the oldest residence hall at OSU.It is one of only a few college cooperative housing establishments in the nation.Introduced as a financial remedy for students during the Great Depression, students living in the dorm are required to maintain at least a 2.8 grade point average and work for the dorm five to nine hours weekly in exchange for reductions in room and board fees. According to Douglas, this has made the stadium dorm a home away from home, rather than a regular residence hall. “It’s a very involved place with a real big sense of community pride. People walk down the halls and say hello to everyone. With everyone living and working together, it’s a much more friendly place,” he said.Unlike any other dorm in the nation, the stadium dorm has its own alumni association, complete with endowments. Each spring quarter, the association chooses several students for free room and board in the dorm.William Severns, a 1974 alumnus of the stadium dorm and Ohio auditor, was disappointed when he heard the dorm was scheduled for demolition. “I lived there for four years and my brother lived there for four years before me,” he said. “I can see the economic sense of it but I hate to see it go.”
