Tragedy on campus

Students mix it up on St. Patrick’s Day Different opinions of holiday shape the day for Kent State students Bre Vozar

bvozar@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater Whether it’s green eggs and ham or kegs and eggs, Kent State students find their own ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Although many will be celebrating their Irish heritage, or lack thereof, Thursday is just another day for Kyle Johannes. The junior human development and family studies major said he will be attending classes and working all day. “I think the holiday is ridiculous,” Johannes said. He also said he thinks students who wake up at 6 a.m. to drink should put forth PHILIP BOTTA | DAILY KENT STATER

Freshman Evan Cerveny talks to Cyree Tenney and Jacquelyn Kotlarsic about Kaitlyn Nicole Jones during her vigil Wednesday on the ninth floor of Koonce Hall.

Students mourn loss of friend Kaitlyn Jones, freshman exploratory major, died early Wednesday at Summa Akron City Hospital, according to Summit County Medical Examiner’s office. Jason Grom, forensic investigator at the Summit County Medical Examiner’s office, said Jones died of natural causes. He said that she had vascular malformations that caused head bleeding. Jones started to feel sick on Sunday and was taken to Robinson Memorial on Monday afternoon by paramedics. She was later life flighted to Summa Akron City Hospital Monday night. Summa Akron City Hospital will likely perform a medical autopsy to determine more details about the cause of death. Kevin Koppel, graduate of Virginia Marty College of Art and Design, had known Jones for one year. He said he took Jones to the emergency room six times last semester for diabetes related problems. He joined other friends of hers Wednesday afternoon in the ninth floor Koonce Hall lounge to share stories of Jones, who was a resident of Koonce. Students wrote messages and memories of Jones on the windows of the lounge. Kent State University provided the students with therapy dogs and counselors. — Brooke Bower and Philip Botta

as much dedication toward school and work. He suggested that if students drink, they should do so responsibly. “Some people don’t know how to have self control on St. Patrick’s Day,” Johannes said. Unlike Johannes, sophomore exploratory major Jonathan Gore plans to take a break from classes and drink all day. “I’m going to start drinking depending on when I wake up,” Gore said. “I’m celebrating all day.” He plans on going to Cleveland for the annual parade. He said he’s one the few students celebrating who is actually Irish. Aside from his heritage, he is celebrating for no particular reason, other than the fact that everyone else is doing it. “There’s going to be green beer and everything,” Gore said. “It just seems like the St. Patrick’s Day thing to do.”

The Kent State University Police Department does not anticipate many on-campus problems during the St. Patrick’s Day festivities but still encourages students’ safety. “Don’t just put a drunk friend or roommate in the shower and think it will help,” said Michquel Penn, community resource officer. “Call the police and get help. Alcohol poisoning is serious — you can die from it.” Penn said the most common incidents on campus during St. Patrick’s Day are requests for a rescue squad for students who consumed too much alcohol and other alcohol violations such as underage drinking. She said drinking all day is overloading the body with alcohol and dehydrating it, and it can potentially put a person in a coma.

“Students need to know their limits and not become so impaired that they cannot control their actions,” Penn said. “Students need to eat and drink water. Another important thing that students need to be aware of is the signs and symptoms alcohol poisoning so they can get help.” Kent State University Residence Services’ Hallways Handbook adopted the “Good Samaritan Provision,” which stresses the importance of good decisionmaking, such as calling 911 when students are intoxicated. “With the implementation of the ‘Good Samaritan Policy’ the KSUPD is able to work with Residence Services in helping students,” Penn said. “This policy allows students to call for help when a person is highly intoxicated. If students call for help, they won’t have to be afraid of legal or university actions.” See SAFETY, Page A5

Five Kent Roosevelt seniors injured in rollover accident One student still in serious condition at Akron hospital Matt Fredmonsky KentPatch.com

Five seniors at Theodore Roosevelt High School were injured this morning when the SUV they were riding in rolled over at the intersection of Crain Avenue and Lake Street. One of the passengers, Zach Marlow, was critically injured when he became trapped beneath the vehicle. Kent Fire Chief James Williams said Marlow had to be extricated before firefighters could treat him. He was then transported to Summa Akron City Hospital. “Our guys did a great job and got him out as quickly as they could,” Williams said. Marlow was listed in serious condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit at 4 p.m. Kent City Schools Superintendent Joseph Giancola said he had heard indirectly just before 5 p.m. that Marlow had stabilized. “My understanding is he is stabilized, so that’s good news,” Giancola said.

The other four passengers were transported to Robinson Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. They have not yet been identified and their conditions are unavailable. The single-car crash happened just after 11 a.m. Witnesses reported seeing the gray Jeep Liberty lose control and roll over in front of the Crain Avenue Bridge. A light rain was falling at the time of the crash, but whether or not the rain played a factor is unclear. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The students were away from the school on their lunch break when the accident happened. Giancola informed parents at the high school this afternoon in an automated phone call. High school students were told of the crash shortly after. “I was there at the high school for a good part of the afternoon making sure the students are doing all right,” Giancola said. “They’re pretty calm. They were going about their business of classes.” He said the school’s counselors have a crisis intervention plan in place to help students cope with such a situation, but they did not start it yet. “We’ll have to take it day by day on that,” Giancola said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Lawmakers reviewing an Ohio bill to outlaw abortions after the first medically detectable heartbeat are hearing more testimony from bill supporters as opponents announce new efforts to support abortion rights. The anti-abortion group Faith2Action says women from Cleveland, Dayton and Howard were among those testifying Wednesday in support of the bill during a meeting of the House Health Committee. Meanwhile, bill opponent and

Democratic state Rep. Nickie Antonio of Lakewood announced she’s joining the new “Voices for Reproductive Choices” campaign launched by the National Council of Jewish Women. NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio has a new ad airing on WNIR radio in the Akron area. It criticizes GOP state Rep. Kristina Roegner of Hudson, who has helped sponsor several of the abortion-related bills being considered in the Legislature.

Charlie Sheen expands live tour LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen is bringing his live show to five more venues, including New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall. Sheen is adding five dates to his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour. Tickets go on sale Thursday for performances in Ohio, Connecticut, Boston and New York City. The actor ’s shows in Detroit and Chicago on April 2 and 3 sold out

quickly. Additional performances are scheduled for April 5 in Cleveland, April 6 in Columbus, and April 8 at Radio City Music Hall. He will also perform at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Conn., and at Boston’s Agganis Arena on April 12. Sheen was fired last week from the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men.” He then sued the show’s producers for $100 million for breach of contract.

Professors comment on Japan’s possibility of nuclear meltdown Kelly Tunney

ktunney@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater

At the Yamagata Sports Center, residents of Fukushima are screened for radiation when they check into the displaced persons center.

In the past week, the Japanese have struggled to prevent a nuclear meltdown from occurring at the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima. When the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami struck the coast of Japan Friday, they damaged the nuclear plant, destroying the cooling processes needed to keep the nuclear materials safe. Since then, the plant has been at risk of leaking its contained nuclear materials in a meltdown, said James Gleeson, chair of the physics department.

Gleeson said a meltdown occurs when a nuclear plant is unable to cool down the contained materials. “You always have to be removing the heat from the inside of the reactor,” he said. “But when that doesn’t work, when you can’t circulate the cooling material, then the inside of the reactor gets hotter and hotter. And if it gets too hot, everything will melt.” Todd Schneider, a spokesperson for FirstEnergy Corp. in Ohio, said when the earthquake and tsunami struck, they wiped out the electricity going to the plant, causing many Japanese homes to lose power. “The tsunami and the earth-

quake caused the Japanese plant to lose electricity coming in from outside the plant, as well as their diesel generators,” Schneider said. “Which generate electricity to supply the emergency power systems.” Schneider said the Japanese are now working to cool the systems in the absence of the generators. “Without electricity or power in the emergency systems, the reactors began to overheat,” he said. “There was some fuel damage and now the Japanese are flooding the reactors with water and a special chemical that will curtail the nuclear reaction.” Tom Schmidlin, geography professor, said although the potential damage of the meltdown is

alarming, the nuclear plant is built to handle this type of disaster. “Some people try to compare it to the Chernobyl in Russia years ago,” Schmidlin said. “But that was a very crude nuclear power plant in Russia, and the Japanese plants and American plants…we have much safer plants.” Gleeson said he is relieved the nuclear plant in Japan has yet to meltdown. “I think everyone’s grateful that the real catastrophic failure so far hasn’t happened,” Gleeson said. “And we can all be hopeful that it doesn’t.” Kelly Tunney is a College of Arts and Sciences reporter.

FAMOUS QUOTE

our

VIEW U

SUMMARY: Many Kent State organizations are putting together relief efforts to aid with the recent catastrophic events in Japan. Despite being “poor” college students, there’s still much we can do to help here in Ohio.

What you can do to help in Japan

nless you’ve been in complete hibernation, have no friends or are a complete waste of space, you’ve heard about the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that produced a devastating tsunami that hit northern Japan last Friday. The catastrophic natural occurrences took the lives of thousands of Japanese people and have left even more without food, water or shelter. So what can you do to help? Well, the Kent State International Mentors has an online site, ksimonline.org, which has an account set up for donations. Their goal is to raise $1,000 to purchase a shelter box. Each box is made to help a family of 10 by providing shelter, food, clean water, blankets and other basic living necessities. Google has a crisis response center online,

where you can get a full, up-to-date report on Japan’s well-being, as well as donate money to American Red Cross, UNICEF and Save the Children funds. There are also postings for missing people and videos of the quake’s destruction. The United States Agency for International Development suggests the most effective donation is cash. The agency explains in its website, usaid.gov, that cash, unlike in-kind donations can be used right away to buy the items needed on the disaster area. InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations, offers on its website, interaction.org, a list of agencies that are accepting donations for earthquake and tsunami relief.

If you are unable to make a cash donation, you can give some solace to the Japanese by sending messages of condolences or offers of assistance. To do such, the Japanese Embassy in the United States has set the following e-mail: earthquake@ws.mofa.go.jp Remember, any of us could some day find ourselves in an abrupt tragedy. Other countries helped when Hurricane Katrina hit and when our nation was paralyzed by the events of 9/11. Continue giving your support, and stay educated on Japan’s efforts of reconstruction and stabilization. The above editorial is the consensus opinion of the Daily Kent Stater editorial board whose members are listed to the left.

NATE BEELER’S VIEW

“Every St. Patrick’s Day, every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to.” — Shane Leslie

DID YOU KNOW?

On this day in A.D. 461, St. Patrick, Christian missionary, bishop and apostle of Ireland, dies at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland. — History.com

Ten things I discovered in New York City I had the pleasure of experiencing New York City for the first time last weekend. Since I can’t get my mind off the subject, here are just a few of my observations of the Big Apple. What looks like an Irish bar from outside may actually be a pseudoItalian dance bar. Upon a suggestion from the hotel security, we went to a bar called The Mean Fiddler. Sounds very Irish, right? Inside we found a bunch of Italian-American 20-somethings doing pushups on a dance floor to the song “Like a G6.” The Big Apple runs on Starbucks. By my estimate, there are approximately two Starbucks on every block. Every one of them is crowded at every hour of the day. Comedy shows are not appropriate for little children. While attending an improv show, F-bombs were dropped within two minutes. Surprisingly, a young mother took another half hour—about the time a child molester’s anonymous sketch surfaced—to escort her 6-year-old out of the building. New Yorkers respect Cleveland. Everywhere you go people ask where you’re from. Oddly enough, I didn’t get knocked once about the Cavaliers, Browns or Tribe. I even received two hugs when mentioning my hometown. The city is a money vulture. On any given corner there are five people trying to get something out of you. One aspiring rapper gave me his “complementary” album, autographed it for me and then asked for a “donation.” When I didn’t give him a donation, he took it back and decided it would be better for me to Facebook him. Everything you’ve heard about New York pizza is true.

Kyle McDonald I’ve been a pizza addict for years, but I will never view it the same way. The only thing that outnumbers Starbucks shops is pizza shops. Pizza in New York is cheap, everywhere and extremely delicious. New York is a wonderful place to live if you want to quit smoking. I think the price speaks for itself: $13 per pack of cigarettes. The subway has a few tradeoffs. One one hand, you’ve got a 24-hour service that will take you anywhere for $2.25. On the other, you’ll see some of the grittiest people in your life. My favorite character was a man serenading riders with Sam Cooke songs for change and a strong faith in the power of love. Speaking of transportation, don’t bother with a car. Parking is about $15 per hour, I didn’t see a single gas station, 90 percent of the streets are one-way and skinny and traffic is horrendous. Luckily, I took a bus in. Central Park is another world in itself. I had the chance to spend a couple hours in the park and barely covered a third of its territory. The scenery is so breathtaking and relaxing I forgot for a few hours how insane the rest of the city is. Kyle McDonald is a senior magazine journalism major and a columnist for the Daily Kent Stater.

The future of prevention Prevention, in its simplest form, is any method used to contain, negate or thwart the escalation of conflict. There is a great deal to be said about prevention in relation to international conflict resolution, in that if there are increased efforts to prevent people and institutions from creating conflicts, there would not be a need for resolution. It is not the absence of conflict that is vital to prevention, but rather, the efforts made by community members to foster dialogue concerning possible tension, violence and escalation. It is important for communities to be able to recognize the root of conflict, whether it is ethnic, religious, cultural, political, economic or any other type of discrimination and bias formed amongst two or more groups. If the cause is understood, then the opportunity stands to make amends before there is a breakout of conflict. Again, this relates to prevention in its most rudimentary form, as issues of prevention are in relation to operational and structural agendas of parties involved. If we utilize prevention by operational standards, there is a notable sign of conflict building in a country where intervention forces would arrive in the area immediately. They would assist in monitoring borders with local authorities and setting up offices to organize diplomacy and communication between groups. This method of prevention is useful if outside forces are respectful of the country’s nationals and its customs, while also working in partner-

Thisanjali Gangoda ship with local officials. Prevention in no way promotes the creation of police states, as country sovereignty would therefore be at stake. If prevention by way of operational standards is initiated, it is vital for grassroots elements of community organization and involvement to be part of any action plans. This allows for empowerment of community members to construct their own methods of conflict prevention — ones that suit their specific needs. These factors of prevention can be considered structural forces that enable prevention tactics to be used to their fullest. Many conflict theorists argue that the best methods of prevention involve more operational elements than structural. I believe that, in a logistical sense, it is more effective to have ground troops monitoring conflict areas, asserting power over the escalation of conflict. For short-term prevention, this is pertinent in quelling violence. However, for prevention to remain a long-

term effort, there need to be increased structural factors involved. This includes a focus on the development of a nation, the rights of people and an agreeable political agenda set-up. I believe that these are important factors in the building and sustaining of peace as well. Nevertheless, there are many examples of countries that have managed to utilize these prevention tactics to their benefit. The future of prevention lies in the hands of nationals, and they can be encouraged through international diplomacy and awareness. I think there needs to be more effort when it comes to international conflict prevention. When there is a third party involved in prevention, it is key that they be well-educated on the core issues at hand and have a plan of action that is fitting for the case. These issues are a matter of trust, respect and country sovereignty. At face value, it seems like a simple matter that can be sorted out via prevention tactics and altruistic motives. But countries that are in need of prevention and outside intervention are usually in stark disagreement with international “interference,” and well, can you blame them? There is a need for a new global agenda for change, and I think it is possible. The future of prevention lies in the hands of the people, not government or corporate entities.

Students educate Statehouse visitors Britni Williams

bwilli61@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater The sound of excited students, faculty, administrators and community members filled the gallery of the Ohio Statehouse Wednesday morning. Kent State University Office of Government Relations and Alumni Association presented its Impact and Innovations Exhibit to inform state legislators and Statehouse visitors about the university. President Lester Lefton said the goal was to show legislators how important Kent State is to the local economy. “We’re here as a family today, a community, to represent Kent State,” Lefton said. “We are Kent State, all of us, together. We are

a community of individuals, of employees, of alumni, of students trying to represent what we do and what we do well.” The exhibit consisted of several displays spread throughout the Statehouse gallery where legislators and visitors could walk through and interact with students and representatives of the university. The College of Nursing displayed its patient simulator, a life-size doll that allows nursing students to realistically practice what they learn, and the College of Architecture and Environmental Design showcased studentmade building models. Other exhibits were presented by the regional campuses, the alumni association, the Wick Poetry Center and numerous other Kent State programs. Jackie Woods, chair of the

Board of Trustees, said it’s hard for legislators to come to Kent State. This exhibit brought Kent State to the legislators. “We really were timely with what we brought to Columbus today because representing the university in its largest context which is the community, business, the students, the faculty, the programs really is where the state is right now,” Woods said. “They’re looking for economic development, jobs, education, and that’s what this is all about. I just think it has been an excellent example of Kent State at its largest capability.” Gregory Jarvie, vice president of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, said despite the budget coming out Tuesday, it wasn’t the main concern. “I think it’s about showcasing

the university, so it’s really not about the budget today,” Jarvie said. “That day has come and gone. We have a lot of folks that are obviously keeping an eye on it, and we’ll do what we can to get through that, but today is about Kent State.” Dennis Eckart, member of the Board of Trustees, said he didn’t think the trip could have been planned any better. “I love what we have done by bringing actual parts of Kent State,” Eckart said. “It’s not just to talk about issues. We’re here to show visually many of our centers of excellence, and it captures the spirit of the school so well. It’s not just talking about it — we’re demonstrating it.” Britni Williams is the academics reporter.

City Council votes to oppose Senate Bill 5 Allison Smith

asmith75@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater City Council voted on two motions to officially disagree with Senate Bill 5 at its meeting Wednesday night. The motion to oppose the bill, put forward by Heidi Shaffer, ward 5 councilmember, did not pass after a vote of four to one with three abstentions. Tracy Wallach, ward 6 councilmember, made a motion to ask for a resolution that would be sent to Columbus to discourage the state legislators’ support of Senate Bill

5. The motion also did not pass after a vote of four to one with three abstentions. Robin Turner said it is not against the law for those council members who may have a conflict of interest to vote on anything regarding Senate Bill 5, however, some still chose not to vote. “You’re not benefiting,” Turner said. “This is just a statement of position by council, not a force of law that would put you at a conflict of interest.” Wayne Wilson, ward 3 councilmember, said he abstained from voting because his wife is a union member and is concerned that residents of Kent would see his vote

as just protecting his wife. “It’s not because I’m against the union, and it’s not because I’m for them,” he said. “It’s just a matter of fact. It doesn’t look good, so I’m going to stay out of it.” Erik Valenta, councilman at large, said he would like to know more about the bill before he decides to vote on it. “There are two sides to every story, and I’d really like to do some more research before I cast a vote,” Valenta said. Wallach, who is also a math lecturer at Kent State, said she views the bill as an attack on organized labor. “If we eliminate collective bar-

gaining,” she said, “what is that going to do to the quality of our educators then because people are not going to want to go into the profession even more.” Schaffer said she thinks City Council should back up its public employees, such as fire fighters, policemen and teachers. “Ten years ago, we were holding firefighters up as national heroes,” Schaffer said. “Now it seems like we’re pointing a finger of blame at our public employees and saying that they’re not worthy of our trust and also that they’re somehow to blame for our budget problems.” Allison Smith is the city editor.

Senior hospitality management majors Marissa Terlesky and Angela Altomare wait for the bus to take them to class around 10 a.m. on St. Patrick’s Day in 2010. They went downtown at 4:30 a.m. and received free shirts and breakfast sandwiches at Buffalo Wild Wings.

The blotter is a record of charges filed by the police. The listings do not represent convictions or reflect guilt. It is the Daily Kent Stater’s policy to publish on-campus and off campus arrests, charges and incidents of interest to the public.

CAMPUS WEDNESDAY n Brittany P. Hudson, 20, of

Mason, was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia at Leebrick Hall.

STUDENTS Student mix it up on St. Patrick’s Day Senior biochemistry major Natalya Semenets said she doesn’t understand why people drink all day to celebrate. “At least celebrate later on,” Semenets said. “When you see drunk people at three in the afternoon, it’s kind of ridiculous.” She said she plans on studying and maybe going to Rock the Runway instead of the bars. Freshman exploratory major Cory Ortman plans to both go to class and go out later. “I have a test in the morning, but I’m definitely going out later on,” Ortman said. Similar to many students, Ortman will be celebrating despite the From Page A1

SAFETY KSUPD offers tips for holiday safety She said traditionally the Kent State University Police Department does not have many problems on campus during St. Patrick’s Day and they will not alter patrol coverage. “According to the current schedule, seven officers will be working the day shift from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. (Thursday),” Penn said. “The bars are opening at 5:30 a.m. on St. Patrick’s Day.” Penn said although campus and city police departments work together during big events and holidays, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in past years have not dictated a need for the two departments to collaborate. She said mutual aid exists between the departments if a need arises. Penn said students need to be responsible and not drink and drive, and students who are walking downtown need to be alert for drunken drivers. Penn said other violations that occur on campus are disorderly conduct and public intoxication; this could be something like vomiting in a dorm hall bathroom. She said to be aware of the laws as

lack of knowledge about the holiday. “Drinking at 6 a.m. is pretty extreme, but maybe I’ll do it one year,” Ortman said. “It’s just an excuse to get really drunk for the day.” Shelby McMillin, sophomore fashion merchandising major, will also be celebrating a little later in the day after an exam, but she doesn’t mind missing morning festivities. McMillin said she thinks the reason people drink so much on St. Patrick’s Day is because the Irish are stereotypically thought of as big drinkers. “I think people should maybe research the real reason that St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated, and then celebrate in a way the Irish do that isn’t drinking,” McMillin said. “You can party and celebrate without being wasted all day.” Bre Vozar is the student life reporter.

stated in the Ohio Revised Code. According to the Ohio Revised Code, someone intoxicated in a public place or with more than two people present can face more serious legal consequences if he or she fights, says offensive comments, harms or annoys other people or causes alarm. However, if the person is not intoxicated, the legal consequences are different because the person should be more aware the effect he or she is having on others. A person should not create or partake in a condition that could potentially harm to oneself or another person or a person’s property, according to the Ohio Revised Code. “Disorderly conduct is a serious offense,” Penn said. “It encompasses many different types of illegal violations, like fighting and destruction of property. Not only can you be arrested, but you can face a trial, a fine or community service.” Penn said with nice weather on St. Patrick’s Day, she hopes students will enjoy themselves but be responsible. “The KSUPD is always here to help and make sure students are safe,” Penn said. “I hope students have a good time but also remember the consequences of drinking too much.”

Women’s team Men’s basketball team makes an upset heads to WNIT Rachel Jones

rjones62@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater

The Kent State women’s basketball team (20-9) will need to play the role of spoiler in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament when they travel to Duquesne (22-9) Thursday for first-round action. After a disappointing MidAmerican Conference Tournament loss to Eastern Michigan, the Flashes get new life as a seven seed in the WNIT. This will mark Kent State’s second straight year in the tournament. Last year, the Flashes’ season ended abruptly in the first round with a 69-34 loss to Michigan. With a second seed, the Dukes will play the host team. The Flashes posted a 7-7 record away from the M.A.C. Center this season. With wins this season over Mid-American Conference mem-

bers Miami (Ohio), Akron, Buffalo, Ohio and Ball State, the Dukes are accustomed to the MAC style of play. Duquesne also beat several larger schools in Miami, Pittsburgh and Dayton. Dayton avenged the loss by beating the Dukes in the Atlantic 10 championship to fall short of the NCAA tournament. This season marks the third season the Dukes have made the WNIT. The winner of Thursday’s game will advance to the second round of the 64-team, single elimination tournament to take on the winner of the Kansas/ Wichita State. Overall, the Flashes are 2-1 alltime against Duquesne. Against the Atlantic 10 conference, the team is 18-16. — Matt Lofgren, sports reporter

The Kent State men’s basketball team felt what it was like to be on the other side of a last-minute, 1-point victory Tuesday. After falling to Akron 66-65 in overtime March 12, the No. 7 Flashes upset No. 2 St. Mary’s 71-70 thanks to a game-winning basket with 2.6 seconds left in the first round of the NIT in California. “We’ve stolen a lot of games like that late,” said Kent State coach Geno Ford. “Our kids don’t quit. They keep fighting. They keep playing. They keep grinding.” After leading offensively the first 14 minutes of the game, Kent State (24-11) was down 59-50 with 8:36 to go. Junior center Justin Manns led the strong defensive coverage with four blocks and six rebounds. But the Flashes needed to actually score some points if they wanted to win. Sophomore guard Randal Holt and junior guard Michael Porrini stepped up in that department, sinking one 3-pointer each within a minute to trail just 59-56.

Senior guard Rod Sherman, who needed his right foot taped up toward the end of the first half, also made a 3-point contribution with 4:43 to go and another basket right before the one-minute mark. Hoping a comeback was in the works, the players looked more confident and entered attack-mode on the court. Then, Porrini fouled St. Mary’s Mickey McConnell. McConnell shoots at 91 percent from the free throw line. But he only made one basket, and Porrini quickly sank the rebound for a 68-67 lead with 35.4 seconds remaining. St. Mary’s Clint Steindl drew a foul while missing a dunk with 24.9 seconds left. His free throws gave the Gaels a 70-67 lead. Instead of opting for a 3-pointer to tie the game, Ford told the players to strive for a quick layup. “The last thing I wanted to do was fire a three and put our entire season on one shot with that much time on the clock,” Ford said. “We were going for the quick two because we thought they wouldn’t foul.” And they didn’t. Instead of risking sending the

Flashes to the free throw line, the Gaels just let Porrini run down to the basket. The shot bounced off the rim, but a goaltending call gave Porrini the points. He led the Flashes with 19 total points. With 2.6 seconds on the clock, junior forward Justin Greene charged down the paint and sank the game-winning basket. “When the chips are on the line, we make the tough plays,” Ford said. “We didn’t want the season to end.” McConnell attempted a layup in the final seconds but missed. Kent State charged the court in celebration as the Gaels looked around wondering why their season had to end. Ford, a self-proclaimed fan of St. Mary’s coach Randy Bennett, said he was proud that Kent State came back to beat a team he has been following all year. “Our teams are very different,” Ford said. “They have more shooters. We have a little more athleticism. We don’t lead the league in one single category except wins. We certainly have a lot of respect for those guys and feel very fortunate

to leave here with a win.” Ford said canceling the last two practices seemed to benefit the team Tuesday. “It’s the first time our kids have touched a ball since the loss Saturday,” Ford said. “It might have helped because you have the hangover of disappointment (after a loss), and if we practiced, we might have been sort of lethargic and down.” The Flashes travel Fairfield in the second round of the NIT. Kent State will play either Saturday or Sunday. The official time and date of the game will be determined by the NIT Committee following the conclusion of the first round games on Wednesday night. But nothing will determine if it will come down to a heartracing finale like the game against St. Mary’s. “This is probably one of the biggest wins of my career,” Greene said. “To do it on the road against a team that was in the Top 25 for most of the season and to do it in the situation we did it? It was just great.” Rachel Jones is a sports reporter.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6. Innocent pleasures tempt: ice cream, sharing the news, creating and playing with someone fun. Get lost in daydreams, but don’t fall for delusions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 5. Fantasy may be a nice place to hang out, but it doesn’t produce results. Take a brief mental vacation, and then take action toward fulfilling a specific goal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. Read the fine print thoroughly today. Ask people you trust to show you your blind spots. Your own thinking might delude you. Take care with financial decisions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 5. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Make the best of challenges by discovering new abilities. Rather than getting defensive, own any mistakes to make them only once.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6. Fantasies and false promises may tempt today. Watch out for the ones that cost money. Handle your deadlines for best results, and then go play.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7. Your dreams are not firmly grounded in reality yet. Perhaps you’re avoiding committing to a particular direction. Imagine yourself already there. Seek hidden options.

Daily Kent Stater

Uncharted Checkers-N-Trophies Amy Cooknick

acooknic@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater There is a place just down the road, off the beaten path, where drinks are flowing and entertainment is usually free. The people are friendly and the music is loud. The street looks like an average residential area, causing first-time visitors to recheck their maps or GPS coordinates, but the distant glow of the neon lights burns through all concerns about having the wrong address, guiding travelers to 352 W. Elm St. Blinking from the street corner, Checkers-N-Trophies bar is a flashy contrast to the rest of the neighborhood. Stepping from the green-carpeted stoop into the warm glow of the bar, early patrons are greeted by manager Ben Cohen wiping down the counter and getting ready for the evening ahead. “I’ve been promoting shows here off and on since ’07,” Cohen said as he poured a drink and turned on the radio. “I’ve been managing the bar since about July 24, give or take.” Cohen graduated from Kent State in 2008 with a Bachelor of General Studies focused in sociol-

ogy, history and English. He was interested in making Checkers-NTrophies more accessible to college students and approached owner Bill Savory about managing. Savory agreed, and Cohen got to work booking acts. “Lately we have been working to revamp Kent’s vibrant and rich local music scene,” Cohen said. “Hosting a variety of acts and genres, we have been able to create something very strong, powerful and underground, as well as something very down to earth and fun.” Cohen said Checkers-N-Trophies is open every day except Sunday, unless they have an act scheduled. It features bands every Saturday night. Cohen and Savory hope to start booking enough performers to have live music every Friday and Saturday. No genre is off limits at the bar. Past acts have represented punk, metal, indie, folk, hip-hop, bluegrass, country and music that doesn’t fit any description. In the near future, Cohen said he would like to add Sundaynight drum circles and Mondaynight indie rock dance parties to that list, although the headliners on Saturdays would still be the main attraction.

“What I’m trying to do here is to kind of promote a rich and vibrant music scene that’s very diverse in its scope and has all those different perspectives represented,” Cohen said. “That’s what I like doing. I like to bring people out. I like to see people have a good time enjoying local music.” Most of the musicians who play Checkers-N-Trophies are local, although Cohen said he does like to bring in touring bands when they’re in the area. Since he experienced student life at Kent State, Cohen makes an effort to cater to the college scene. He tries to provide a fun, relaxed atmosphere for students to come and experience new music. “You can expect to find what you’re not finding elsewhere,” Cohen said. “I don’t like to abuse the term ‘underground,’ but I think that what we have here is a very underground scene. I mean, you can find people here enjoying themselves, promoting music and promoting real culture.” Savory said the primary goal of Checkers-N-Trophies is to expose students to artists they might not find on their own. Although the bar has dartboards, pool tables and food under $10, Savory has tried bringing in

Ben Cohen, manager of Checkers–n–Trophies in Kent, serves patrons while they take in music on Saturday. “Hosting a variety of acts and genres we have been able to create something very strong, powerful and underground, as well as something very down to earth and fun,” Cohen said, who is working to attract more students to the bar. alternate forms of entertainment, like comedians, he said students come for the live music. Cohen said he wants audiences at Checkers-N-Trophies to be as diverse as the musicians who play there. “I kind of wrote a little mission statement on our Facebook website about making this a really nice spot for people of different race, different class,” Cohen said. “People of all colors, creeds

(and) nationalities.” Cohen said he just wants all of his patrons to feel at home in the bar and inspired by the music. “Whether it’s a singer/songwriter or somebody playing harmonica and kazoo and strumming a banjo,” Cohen said, opening a bottle of the usual for the evening’s first customers. “Or somebody jamming on a bongo drum, punk rockers screaming their heads off, hip-hoppers free-

styling their hearts out about the problems of today. In short, you can expect a lot.” With that, Cohen turns up the music and turns to chat with the next wave of customers, who, whether drawn by the lights and music spilling into the otherwise quiet street, or the promise of somewhere warm and laidback, seem ready to spend the night.

To accommodate its growing audience, this year’s festival will use every theater at Tower City Cinemas. Since 2003, the festival’s admission has grown from nearly 35,000 to last year’s 71,000. With such a large selection of films to choose from, it would be impossible for visitors to see everything. The festival’s art director, Bill Guentzler, said he recommends Kent State students try to see at least one of these five films:

“A Somewhat Gentle Man”

Norway, 2010 Directed by: Hans Petter Moland Run time: 107 minutes Showtimes: Friday, March 25 at 6:50 p.m., Saturday, March 26 at 4 p.m. Plot: Ulrik is a convict who was just released from prison after serving 12 years for murder. As he tries to reconnect with his family, his former boss, Jenson, pushes for him to return to a life of crime. “It’s a quirky comedy,” Guentzler said. “Scandinavian comedy tends to be a little dark. They create different kinds of characters that you usually don’t see in American films.”

“Vincent Wants to Sea” Germany, 2010 Directed by: Ralf Huettner Run time: 96 minutes

Showtimes: Saturday, March 26 at 1:20 p.m., Sunday, March 27 at 4:30 p.m., Monday, March 28 at 9:15 p.m. Plot: Twenty-seven-year-old Vincent has Tourette’s syndrome. He escapes from a rehabilitation clinic along with two other patients, Alex and Marie. Together they travel across Europe toward the Italian sea. “It’s really scenic,” Guentzler said. “It’s a European road-trip comedy. It’s another one of those European films that you just won’t see anything made in America that’s like it.”

“Connected”

U.S., 2011 Directed by: Tiffany Shlain Running time: 82 minutes Showtimes: Saturday, March 26 at 4:25 p.m., Sunday, March 27 at 8:20 p.m. Plot: In this documentary,

director Tiffany Shlain, along with her father, Leonard Shlain, uses events in her own life to show how people use technology to create meaningful connections with one another. “It’s a lot of information,” Guentzler said, “but at the same time it’s not overbearing. You’re going to come away really looking at the world from a different point of view. The fact that somebody’s ideas can change you is so great.”

is his neighbor’s daughter, So-mi. When the Chinese mafia kidnaps her, he vows to find her. “It’s an action film — kung fu, karate, gangsters in South Korea,” said Guentzler. “America tries to make action movies, even with any kind of martial arts. But when you actually see a real Asian film, they really use it and they really use it well. It’s not all about things exploding and people being shot. It’s more mental.”

“The Man From Nowhere”

“The Interrupters”

South Korea, 2010 Directed by: Jeong-Beom Lee Running time: 119 minutes Showtimes: Wednesday, March 30 at 9:15 a.m., Friday, April 1 at 10 p.m., Saturday, April 2 at 1:50 p.m. Plot: Ex-Special Agent Cha Taeshik tragically lost his family. The only person he cares for anymore

U.S., 2011 Directed by: Steve James Running time: 162 minutes Showtimes: Friday, April 1 at 3:50 p.m., Saturday, April 2 at 8 p.m. Plot: This documentary follows former gang members in Chicago who left their lives of violence to help others. Their group, called the Ceasefire Interrupters, discourages kids from joining gangs.

“It’s a really long documentary,” said Guentzler. “You forget that you’re sitting through it for so long because it’s so riveting and it makes you want to actually do something. It’s gives you inspiration to do whatever you can in your own life to make a change.” The festival will also have College Day on Tuesday, March 29. Students must wear college gear that features their university’s logo in order to receive a voucher to attend a film for free. Guentzler said students will also have the opportunity to win other free items. Tickets cost $12 for non-members and $10 for members, and they can be purchased online or over the phone.

VenetianCarnival

Annual runway show pulls inspiration from Italian festival Emily Inverso

einverso@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater Decadence, gluttony, music and beauty. Violence, theft and gold. An ancient Italian festival celebrates the luxurious, fantastic and bold. Rock the Runway, Kent Student Center Programming’s annual fashion show, will be reminiscent this year of the Venetian Carnival. “This year ’s theme is all about masks,” said marketing coordinator Jennifer Gunnoe. “Carnival is about role play. It’s about being someone you’re not. It’s pretty much about being bad, so very decadent, with food, drugs, sex and gambling.” Each designer and design team that enters the competition must keep with this theme by creating at least one mask for its collection, she said. But before the masks, the decadence and the rich designs, planning for Rock the Runway begins with music. The feel for this year encompasses the ethnointrospective ambient world and electric music inspired by the band Enigma, Gunnoe said — something she envisioned as European, dark and masked. But because that image is so specific, two men from the Marion area agreed to compose 11 original songs to perform at the show, she said. “We kept the vision we got from the feel of this music, and we used it to come up with the Venetian Carnival theme,” Gunnoe said. “Rock the Runway isn’t just about fashion. It’s about the music; it’s about the production; it’s about having the stage presence.” To set the scene, Emmalyn Rucker, junior fine arts major, will mask the Student Center Ballroom’s stage with 10 Venetian street graffiti backdrops. “Last spring I was lucky enough to be in Venice for Carnival, so I based the design on a lot of pictures I took while I was there,” Rucker said. “(My designs are) really graffiti-esque looking and kind of dark and creepy.” Those attending the show will not just enter the scene; they will enter the experience, each receiving a hand-made mask. “Rock the Runway is such a big deal,” said Will Riddle, junior fashion design major. “It’s the coveted show, the big Kent production, so I’ve utilized the other smaller shows up until now to gain experience before finally taking this jump.” The jump for each designer or design team means creating three complete looks, designing a mask, finding models and styling them for the show. Riddle, among the 27 designers in this year ’s competition, said he needed special approval for the masks he wants his models to wear. “I didn’t want it to look like I went and got feathers and just hot glued them to a mask,” Riddle said. “I’m having a tattoo artist paint my models’ faces and encrust them with rhinestones. Hopefully it doesn’t smear because backstage everything gets hot, and the girls start sweating, and they’re nervous, and the pressure’s on, so I just have this reoccurring nightmare of their faces sliding on their neck.” As with every year, the show will be judged by a celebrity panel, Gunnoe said. This year ’s panel includes Kristen Kaleal, a stylist who has dressed people for the Oscars and Golden Globes, Thomas McClure and Dont’e Young, co-founders of Columbus Fashion Week and Danyel Vasquez, an area drag queen performer who sews all of her own costumes. “We have a good variety of perspectives this year,” Gunnoe said. “We really only require three judges, but we’re to the point now where people call us asking to be judges and committing for the following year when this one doesn’t work out.” The judges will choose a top designer to receive $500 to Mood Fabric New York, a fabric store in the city, but Gunnoe said prizes won’t stop there. Audience members will have the opportunity to text in a vote for best collection, and their tally will reveal a second winner. That designer or design team wins a free photo shoot with Julie Stanley, a fashion photographer whose pictures have appeared in Vogue, InStyle and Elle. “It’s really nerve-wracking to think about,” said Jillian Miranda, junior fashion design major. “(My design partner and I) have to make sure we can get our designs

out. Trying to do something like this, which is so creative, we have to put all our time into it, but it will be rewarding in the end.” Her designs are focused around the Roman sea goddess, Salacia, with ideas from Venetian Carnival clothing, Miranda said. All of her and her design partner ’s garments are “draped off the body with invisible twine, so you can’t even see that it’s a piece of clothing on a person. It looks like what fabric would, floating under water.” Rock the Runway’s Venetian Carnival will transform the Ballroom at 8 p.m., and Gunnoe said she expects the room to be filled to capacity, more than 1,000 people, like it has been the last few years. Until then, Riddle, who estimates he’s invested about $500 in this show, said nerves will continue to grow in everyone who is perfecting this unique performance. “Hopefully people will get an insight of the madness that happens before this beautiful show,” Riddle said. “By the time I’m done, my models will be in headpieces with crazy tall shoes, so they’ll definitely have to work. Everyone plays a part in this show because it’s more than a show. It’s a theatrical performance.” Emily Inverso is an assigning editor.

Runway designers infuse garments with modern masquerade

Rabab Al-Sharif

ralshari@kent.edu Daily Kent Stater Like most people, Brandi Finley said there are times when she wants to be someone else. That is the inspiration behind her collection for the 2011 Rock the Runway. Finley, senior fashion design student, is just one of 27 designers participating in this year’s Venetian Carnival themed fashion show. Her collection, called “The Good, The Bad, The Royal,” is based on the story of three women who wish to be someone else. The story includes a poor, good girl, a rich queen and what she described as a “woman of ill repute.” The queen wants to be bad, the good girl wants to be a luxurious queen and the bad girl wants to be good. Each outfit represents them being like the person they want to be. “They all want to be someone different because that’s what Venetian Carnival is all about,” Finley said. “I was like, ‘Well, I’ll do women who would want to be someone else,’ and sometimes I want to be someo n e else so it

wasn’t that big of a stretch to come up with something like that.” Finley joked that she has never done anything well thought out in her life. “I’m really a last-minute person,” she said. “That’s where I get the most inspired; I think it’s the pressure.” A lot of her last-minute pieces are people’s favorite, she said, including a coat she made for Rock the Runway in 2009 that was completed the night before the show. Alexa Bull, sophomore fashion design major, said this is her first time competing in Rock the Runway, and she has stuck to her sketches from the beginning. Her collection, “The Love Affair,” is inspired by the history of Venetian Carnivals. While doing research on Venetian Carnival, she found that when love affairs would occur between different social classes, they would wear masks to disguise themselves. She built the story for her collection around that. “It has a romantic feel and plays off the idea of a disguise with a lot of chiffon and see-through fabrics,” she said. She handmade her black masks with wire twisted into see-through flower petals. It’s like the love affairs, she said. “You’re disguised, but when you’re in this love affair the real person still shows through.” Jessica Smith, junior fashion design major, is working with co-designer Joanna Klotz, junior fashion design major. For their collection, they have developed the idea of a hidden identity at the carnival. People wear masks to hide who they are and commit sins, Smith said. One of their looks is innocent and angelic, one has a harder, darker mysterious feel and one combines both. It’s just like an everyday woman you meet for the first time, she said. “A guy may meet you and see the really sweet side of you, or he might see something really dark, but I think everyone has a little bit of both inside of them,” she said. Hair and makeup can make or break a line, Smith said. Her collection is called “Twisted,” and she is using that theme for the models’ hair styles. She plans to have the hair twisted into a beehive. “The hair is twisted, and it’s going to go along with the collection where a person’s personality is twisted in a way,” she said. Kate DeMay, sophomore fashion design major, is working with a partner as well, Ashton Potter, also a sophomore fashion design major. For their line, “Folie Jolie,” which they roughly translated that into “Beautiful Chaos” in French, they are using a lot of lace and tulle because they like the volume. DeMay estimated that she and Potter bought about 15 yards of tulle and 9 yards of lace for their collection. They are going for a voluminous avant-garde, couture look inspired partially by Lady Gaga. “We do love her over-the-top style that’s also sexy and flirty, “she said. “It’s so artistic; it’s almost like a sculpture instead of a dress.” All of the designers face challenges and creative blocks, but Smith said that when things get hard, you just can’t give up. When she competed in last year’s Rock the Runway, she had a dress that didn’t look good four days before the show, she said. “We knew it, and we weren’t going to send it down the runway,” she said. They remade the dress in just one night. “Once we got the new idea, we got so excited and went all out on it,” she said. “It looked completely different.” Smith and Klotz added a rebellious twist to it, and she said people loved it. So did the judges — they won second place. “You just have to go with your gut and really push yourself,“ she said. “It’s a major show.”

“I don’t think I put much thought into it. I wanted to do the scarf because it tied in well with the skirt. I chose the boots because it’s really muddy out.”

“I wanted to wear this bright yellow shirt because it was springy; however, it’s still cold, out so I wore a wintery scarf to tone down the spring. I really like the accessory trend that’s going on with tons of rings and overloaded jewelry, so that’s why I loaded up on rings. I wore my peacock earrings because I like the peacock trend that’s going on, and it tied all of the colors together.” Quevedo: “This is fashionable. She’s got the layers going on, and I like the multiple wraps… She could probably lose the sweater because what’s happened is that you lose her shape. It’s too many layers, even though layering is good.”

“I intern at the Akron Aeros, so the only reason I’m wearing khakis is because of that. I usually do not wear khakis. Flats are just comfortable for me, and this (sweater) is actually my mom’s. I just liked it because it has long sleeves, and it’s warm. I figured I could put black underneath… my sister makes these scarves, so I have like five million of them.” Quevedo: “She looks good. For this weather, instead of a coat she opts for this thick sweater, which I think is fine, and she wears this scarf…They’re very warm. She can use it to cover her head if she wants to. It (the outfit) shows her figure. She’s got a nice pant that makes her look taller.”

Fashion designers and models gathered for a final dress rehearsal Wednesday. The rehearsal was in preparation for Rock the Runway, which is 8 p.m. Thursday. in the Student Center Ballroom.

Hannah Fogarty Senior English major

“I just got these boots from Urban Outfitters. They were on sale, so I really wanted to try them out. It was kind of a bad day to do it because they did get a little uncomfortable by the end of the day, but I thought it was worth it. This (scarf) is from H&M. I put it on because I have this shirt with kind of a rosy flesh-tone, and I thought it went well and pulled in the black.” Quevedo: “The scarf is nice…I like her. The coat could be better. I think that’s an issue with a lot of people – they think black shoes go with everything, and it doesn’t…I like the fit of her jeans, and I like the belt. I don’t like the hole (in her jeans), but it seems like she’s really put together… they (her shoes) look too small.”

Sandi Thouvenin

Graduate art history student

“Usually I just wear leggings, but I have jeans on because it was cold out, and I really like wearing socks up to my knees. One of my colleagues does it at work all the time, so I guess she influenced me, and I love this coat; my mom got it for me. “ Quevedo: “I like her look. Her boots are good. Her stocking underneath with the stripe is okay — if you have a print down there, that’s okay with the fur trim. She looks tall… It shows her figure off really well. The coat looks nice and warm with the big sweater. I like her bag.”

“I just wanted something comfortable and cute. I like the two-tone (boots), and they were in Chanel’s fall collection, but they’re not Chanel, even though they look like it.” Quevedo: “In weather like this, you kind of want to brighten things up… I like the tall boots, but it’s a little too ‘hunter.’”

Senior textiles major

“I get excited to choose my outfit every morning because it’s something I enjoy doing. I wanted it to be a little but more spring-like, so I chose a lighter color.” Quevedo: “This looks like ‘Jersey Shore.’ The coat is too big, and it covers her up too much. She needs more shape… The focus is on her feet… the glasses are nice. Those are in now with the bigger frames. We’re going back to the ‘80s, even with her hair.”

THOMAS SONG | DAILY KENT STATER

Quevedo: “She’s definitely an individualist. I like her style, actually. She’s got that bright color around her face, and it shows off her face. She’s got a knit top appropriate for this weather. It shows the figure with her skirt… She’s got snow boots on, but I like them. They’re slim, and it doesn’t make her legs look fat or skinny. They look appropriate.”

“I like skinny jeans, and I picked these shoes because it’s nice out. I like black leather, and I like to wear floral to make it look girly but tough.” Quevedo: “She’s cute, but I think she’s got fall and summer mixed up. Colorful is good… and I know the jeggings are really popular right now, but it’s too revealing I think.”

Alesia Malushi

Junior double major in Spanish translation and international relations

“I love pea coats. I have like five of them. Today was warm, and this is the lightest one I have. I like natural tones, so I try to stay with black and white and gray mixed together…I wore flats, which are my favorite.” Quevedo: “Proportionately for her, I don’t think this works. The jacket is good and appropriate for this weather. The jeggings are okay… those shoes are too skimpy for this weather...she’s contradicting herself.”
