BEN BAILEY COMEDIAN Thursday, September 2 • 7:30 p.m. Dvorak Concert Holl, $20

Ben Bailey is the Emmy Aword ·winning host ol Discovery Channel's Cosh Cob. As far back as Bailey con remember, he was always delivering something­ flowers, sandwiches, pizza or people - in more than 68 odd jobs prior to and during his stint as a stand· up comic. So, when Bailey w as offered the job as the host of Cash Cob, driving was a no.broiner. And when he was told that he had to successfully pass real taxi school to become a licensed cob driver in New York City to take the job, Bailey passed with flying colors.

Dan Cusack Give athletics a chance

For my first time in duee years working for 1he Daily Eastern News, I will not be covering sports. Coming to school at Eastern, I never con­ sidered myself a fan of the athletic teams. Like most students I came in with a fandom of a major conference school (in my case Ohio State. Do not get me wrong I am still a huge fan. I think they will win the BCS National ti­ de this year, but that is for another time). I had never really cared much about East­ ern accomplishmems and really did not know much about the teams on campus. I knew working for the newspaper I would be covering the Eastern teams, but thought it would be a job and it was something I would have to do. Early on, it felt like a chore to waste my af­ ternoon at the athletic fields and not hanging JORDAN BONER J THE OAILY EASTERN NEWS out with my friends.
