Some students would do anything to save the overstuffed sandwiches and buckets of beer at Panini Bar & Grille.A petition drive to save Panini, 1561 High St., began yesterday and will continue until Friday. Students protesting the takeover of the building by Campus Partners will be on the Oval daily and at the bar nightly. “We want to show Campus Partners and the designers who Panini’s supporters are, and who dislikes the idea of eminent domain being used,” said junior international studies and political science major Dan Rossi, who co-wrote the petition.”Closing Panini’s doesn’t make any sense,” said Troy Doucet, the other writer and a sophomore business major. “Let’s get honest on what should stay and what should go.”Doucet doesn’t understand why Campus Partners wants to use eminent domain when the owner is willing to comply with what Campus Partners wants.Eminent domain is the right of the government to take private property for public use. The petition states that those who sign it support and want Panini’s to remain where it is, and disagree with the use of eminent domain to acquire property. Rossi said that the purpose of the petition is to get the student’s support. They hope to get 2,000-3,000 signatures.”We believe it’s a fine establishment, that takes care of the students,” Rossi said.Matt Lehman, the general manager of Panini’s, said that their building is well-kept.”We feel that our building itself is acceptable, there is no reason why it can’t fit in with the plans,” Lehman said.Panini’s always draws in a large crowd and has student support, he said.”We come down from Cleveland,” he said. “We want to bring all of the Ohio teams together, the Indians, Cavs and Buckeyes.”Lehman said that Panini’s has always tried to be a classy place, a step above the rest. He said they promote responsible drinking and are making improvements all the time.Campus Partners President Terry Foegler said that Panini’s is just one piece of a much larger area used in its Gateway project.”Eminent domain will be our last resort,” Foegler said. “If we need it we will recommend it should be used.”Campus Partners will hold forums in order for students to help structure the new area, he saidShane Hankins, the undergraduate trustee on Campus Partners’ board, said he has similar concerns about the businesses in the area.”I’ve been advocating for a fair and comprehensive relocation plan,” Hankins said. “As well as finding ways for existing businesses to be part of the new development.”Doucet said Panini’s epitomizes their problems with Campus Partners’ use of eminent domain.”We’re dealing with an issue, an Panini is the example we choose to use,” Doucet said. “We are not ruling out anything in the future, for now this is what we chose.”
