COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Three convenience stores near the Ohio State campus have stopped selling glass bottles of domestic beer at the university's request.


Glass bottles are dangerous in the hands of revelers that may have had one too many.

And broken glass in the streets of campus neighborhoods is a hazard.


The university official that has led the effort says the request focuses on domestic brands because students drink cheap beer.


The chairman of the Board of Trustees' academic and student affairs committee says the move could help as the university prepares for the much-anticipated showdown against arch-rival Michigan in two weeks.


The United Dairy Farmers stores are all located on High Street.
