SWIFT VS. WEST:

From the left, caricatures of Taylor Swift and Kayne West.

Kanye creates chaos Kanye West made a scene at the VMAs, but who really cares?

At the recent MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West did what he does best…he made a scene.

For those of you that have not been in contact with media for the past week, let me fill you in.

When Taylor Swift was accepting the award for “Best Female Video,” Kanye came up on stage and stole her moment by taking the microphone and declaring that Beyoncé’s video was the best.

All of the hype from the incident has caused interview after interview with both West and Swift. Kanye has issued some apologies, and the innocent Taylor Swift has made public statements that she is over the ordeal and wants to move on.

Here’s the real question, though, “What’s so shocking about this?”

&

West is infamous for causing controversy. He caused a big fuss in 2004 when Gretchen Wilson beat him out at the American Music Awards in the “Best New Artist” category.

In 2006, at the MTV Europe Music Awards, West threw a tantrum when he lost the “Best Video” award to Justice vs. Simian.

Of course, who can forget the Hurricane Katrina comment that he made on air alongside Mike Myers.

The evidence is there.

West has made some pretty absurd comments and has done some pretty crazy things. Not to mention, West’s trash is Beyoncé’s treasure.

After his flub, she was given a golden PR opportunity. In an act of selflessness, Beyoncé gave Swift the chance to accept her award for “Best Video.”

Of course for Beyoncé, winner of numerous Grammy Awards, MTV Awards and countless others, it probably didn’t take much to let Swift take this one.

For her image and her career though, her act of kindness boosted her even higher in celebrity rankings.

West did something stupid, Swift was innocent and harmless, and Beyoncé seized an opportunity to make her career even bigger.

What’s the big deal? It happened, and we’re all still standing.

Let’s move on to something new before West has too much time to absorb the spotlight. t&c

The world revolves around the Internet: businesses, travel, health records, news, entertainment, etc.

But did you ever stop to think what if you were restricted on the Internet?

Currently BONNIE there is a bill CONNOR in the U.S. Senate allowing the president to seize temporary control of the private-sector networks during a “cyber security emergency” to do whatever is necessary to respond to the threat.

What defines a cyber security emergency? As of now, you can take an educated guess. The bill is still a work in progress due to its vagueness.

There is a risk that when the government declares an emergency, citizens and private networks may be investigated and subject to government control.

But responsibility and authority to defend private networks should rest with network owners alone.

The government is not responsible for private business owners.

Junior Jessica Rupert said, “I support the government being able to gain control over the Internet during a cyber emergency, but letting them have author-

ity over private companies and networks goes too far.”

Cyber security legislations should solely focus on securing the government’s own networks.

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), an activist for the bill stated, “We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records.” I completely agree. If the nation does suffer a serious cyber attack, the government should be able to minimize the damage only if it is an attack on their own securities.

So how much is too much?

The government seems to always be looking for more and more regulation and control, such as within the auto industry and the proposed health care plan.

The pitch for cyber security risks not only our freedom, but our security too. This may be a change for the worse, but the bill is still a work in progress so we can relax for a while knowing the Internet is still privately controlled.

But when it’s polished and ready for possible legislation, be alert. t&c BONNIE CONNER IS A JUNIOR

Otterbein reacts to H1N1 threat The college pandemic policy and emergency plan include a quarantine on students to prevent spreading.

BY FALLON FORBUSH SARAH DOUGLAS & KATIE GILMORE News Editor and Staff Writers

Otterbein is taking steps to prevent H1N1 from taking over campus.

The college expects students to stay home if they have any flulike symptoms like fever, flushed appearance, body aches, diarrhea, vomiting, runny nose, cough, chills and sore throat.

According to Robert Gatti, vice president of Student Affairs, ill students with severe symptoms must stay home until they are free of symptoms for at least 24 hours.

“H1N1 is a problem for everyone,” Gatti said. “The public health officials predict it could strike up to 50 percent of the U.S. population.

Currently, we are following the guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for colleges and universities.”

The college will quarantine students. “Part of our plan is to set aside rooms that are currently vacant,” Tracy Benner, director of residence life said. “The use of these spaces will be handled on a case-tocase basis because, in many cases, it may make sense for the ill student to remain in their permanent room and their roommate, who is not feeling ill, to move temporarily to one of the open spaces.”

Jessica Daily, junior broadcasting major, was encouraged to leave campus after visiting the health center. “He [the doctor] came in and checked me out after hearing my symptoms and…he asked me where home was,” she said. “I told him that

&

I am living on campus, and he then asked me where “home” home was, and I told him Chillicothe. He asked if it would be possible for me to go there and stay until I did not have a fever for 24 hours. He then told me that I had H1N1.”

According to Daily, Student Affairs staff contacted her roommates the next day informing them that she might have H1N1.

“We’ve only had a couple presumptive cases, none for sure,” said Ann Pryfogle, director of health services and RN at the Health Center.

According to Pryfogle, there is no seasonal flu around right now. If students show symptoms, they will presume that it is H1N1.

The Health Center does offer a $15 swab test for influenza A, but “the specificity is not good.”

H1N1 is “just caused by a different virus, just another kind of flu,” Pryfogle said.

Campus security is also taking further precautions when dealing with students that are thought to be ill. Officers and students will be wearing “protective equipment” when escorting students around campus.

“For example, if it becomes an issue, our guys have the option of asking the student that is being escorted that they’d be glad to escort them, but they’re going to have to wear a mask,” Larry Banaszak, director of Security, said.

Faculty and staff are expected to follow the same policy. “I was ill for three to four days,” Caitlin Tully, assistant director for the Center for Community Engagement and Mayne hall director, said. “Otterbein asked me to monitor my fever and to not return to work until my fever was

Say What?

reduced…I was allowed to leave campus to recover on my own and Otterbein did not ask me to do so.”

The H1N1 vaccine is expected to be out in the fall.

Pryfogle expects that the vaccine will be here by December, so the students will have access to it in January of 2010.

According to the CDC, certain groups of the population will receive the H1N1 vaccine first: “pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, healthcare and emergency medical services personnel, persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old, and people ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.”

Otterbein expects to give this vaccine to Otterbein students free of charge, whereas other clinics and pharmacies might charge a fee.

Pryfogle believes that education is vital in preventing infection. “You’re very contagious 24 hours before you even feel bad,” she said.

She highly encouraged washing hands, staying home when sick and disinfecting surfaces. t&c

H1N1 HYPE:

Anyone with flu-like symptoms is presumed to have H1N1 and is sent to quarantine.

HOW DO YOU FEEL OC IS HANDLING H1N1?

“I believe it’s being blown out of proportion, but it’s good that they’re paying attention and are aware of it.”

“I think they’re handling it pretty well. It doesn’t seem to be that big of a problem here.”

“It’s something to worry about, but it isn’t a huge problem here.”

“I think it’s good that they are setting up precautions and keeping everyone aware, even though it isn’t here yet.”

Despite Westerville’s ordinary flavor, there are still a couple of places where you can walk on the wild side.

BY PETER BEHR Arts & Entertainment Editor

Westerville can be described in many ways. Quaint, quiet, clean and even uppity are certainly words that might be attributed to the town that houses Otterbein College.

One thing that probably would never be used to describe Westerville is that it’s a great place to get a tattoo. Well, Naomi Fuller and Nadine Morris would beg to differ.

After picking out a porcelain dog at Captivating Canines or shopping for a new bedside table at Amish Originals, you can stop by one of two tattoo shops in Uptown Westerville.

Fuller started Thrill Vulture Tattooing in 1995, and in 2007 Morris started her shop, Atattooed, specializing in tattoos, body piercing and hypnotherapy.

On her Web site, Fuller describes Thrill Vulture as a nofrills tattoo shop. However, that depends on what you consider to be frills.

Plastering the walls of the shop are pieces of Fuller’s art and little insights into her personality. There isn’t an inch of free space available on the walls of her studio, which are covered with drawings, pictures and bumper stickers, including one that says, “Jeffrey Dahmer says tattoos taste great.”

To say that Thrill Vulture is no frills is an understatement compared to Fuller herself.

Covered in tattoos, she is exactly

how you would envision a tattoo shop owner. She comes off as a tough-as-nails lady who really digs tattooing people.

She chose Westerville because she grew up here, and it was her mom that pushed her into renting out the space that she currently occupies. As for how she came to be a tattoo artist, she was just into artwork.

After attending Columbus College of Art & Design, she taught herself how to tattoo, a route that she doesn’t recommend. “It’s difficult to be safe,” she said. “You could be f***ing people up.”

One of the other two tattoo artists that work at Thrill Vulture is Matt Brown. Brown started working in the tattoo business by cleaning the toilets in the shop.

He had decided he wanted to hang around and hopefully learn how to tattoo.

Even after he was told emphatically by Fuller that she would never teach him how to tattoo, he stuck around and after awhile, he was finally allowed to start his apprenticeship that would last him four years.

Now working at Thrill Vulture, Brown has no regrets about his career choice. “No one gets into tattoos to make money; we do it to make cool art. I am really lucky to do what I love.”

As for the customers that frequent the shop, Brown said there isn’t a certain type. “I’ve seen soccer moms come in here to get tattoos.”

All different kinds of customers frequent the shop, as well as quite a few regulars. It’s

EXPENSIVE ARMS:

difficult to start getting tattoos from one artist and move on to another. “It’s kind of like cheating on your girlfriend,”

Thrill Vulture customer Aaron Antonelli said. He was still shaking from the tattoo that Fuller had just finished: a

skeleton playing a guitar that took up almost his entire right arm.

Along with Thrill Vulture is Atattooed, a full-service body art salon. As well as tattoos, Atattooed proprietor Nadine Morris also does full body piercings and is a licensed hypnotherapist.

According to Morris, hypnotherapy can be used to help quit smoking and alleviate all kinds of anxieties, including those caused by past life experiences. Morris started learning how to tattoo by tattooing herself with an Om, which is a sacred symbol in many eastern religions. She decided to open up shop in Westerville because it was her home.

When it comes to piercing, the most popular is, according to Morris, the tragus, the little piece of cartilage that sticks out of the middle of your ear.

She also does a lot of nipple piercing, and has even done quite a few genital piercings.

“You’d be surprised how eager some customers are to show you their stuff,” Jarrod Pinkerton said, who is an apprentice at Atattooed. “They aren’t shy about it at all.”

So whether you are looking for a thrilling tattoo or want some attitude with a body piercing, you don’t need to leave the quaint town of Westerville.

You can even get ice cream afterwards.

Unimpressed

by Press Grill

Press Grill has good deals and food, but it isn’t worth the trip.

BY GINA BERICCHIA & HANNAH DEMILTA Columnists

We drove to Press Grill so we could save our readers the trip. This might be a great spot for locals in the Short North, but not necessarily Otterbein students. If you are already in the area, stop by for a drink or cheap eats, but we don’t recommend going out of your way.

We chose Press Grill because it is a member of Dine Originals Columbus, a community of independently owned and operated restaurants, including many restaurants found in the Short North.

The menu is simple but has a lot of variety, including wings, pizza, salads, sandwiches and a few daily dinner specials.

The cheeseburger is only $4 but did not include a side

of fries. The burger was small and similar to a Steak ‘n Shake cheeseburger.

We also tried the NY Strip Steak Dinner, a featured Sunday night special. It was OK for the price, but nothing spectacular.

Their Wednesday night feature is 99 cent tacos.

They advertise that you can order food until 1 a.m. every day, a great deal for those who are looking for more than fast food to ďŹ ll their after-hours cravings.

Thursday nights highlight the Thanksgiving Dinner special. After 5 p.m. you can get oven-roasted turkey breast, served with green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce and gravy for just $9.99.

Service started great but ended poorly as more people

arrived. The place got pretty crowded for a Sunday night. The draw might have been more to the drinks rather than the gloriďŹ ed bar food.

Our server was friendly, but didn’t have many recommendations to offer. This time we literally did sit at the “Table in the Corner�: a term we half jokingly associate with the type of restaurant service people our age tend to receive.

Go to Press Grill if you need a cheap option and enjoy jukebox tunes, but there are many worthier choices for a good meal on the Short North strip.

The Press Grill is located in the Short North at 741 N. High St. in Columbus. You can reach the restaurant by phone at (614) 243-1014 or check out their Web site at www.pressgrill.net. t&c

U.S. outlaws f lavored cigarettes As of Tuesday, it is illegal to buy or sell flavored cigarettes, like clove and fruit flavors, across the country.

BY LEAH DRISCOLL Staff Writer

Tuesday marked the start of a nationwide ban on flavored cigarettes, issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ban makes the production, shipment and sale of any cigarettes containing fruit, candy or clove flavors illegal.

This is a step taken by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), which is a federal law that gives the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products.

According to the FDA, smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The administration says that flavored cigarettes “make tobacco products especially appealing to kids and can lead to a lifetime of tobacco addiction.”

Ann Pryfogle, director of health services and RN at the Health Center, said she has seen cases of smoking-related illnesses affecting Otterbein students, generally in the form of upper-respiratory infections. These affect not only smokers, Pryfogle said, but friends of smokers as well.

Sophomore art education major Scarlet Tevis views secondhand smoke as justification for the new ban on flavored cigarettes, if it achieves its goal of decreasing the number of youths who smoke. “This affects everyone in society,” Tevis said. “When

not just the individual person is involved, the government should step in.”

Freshman equine science major, Sarah Bookner, who smokes, says the government is interfering with personal choice. “I can understand no smoking in closed areas, but when it comes to total bans on types of cigarettes, that’s not fair,” Bookner said.

Pryfogle is not hopeful about the ban. “If kids are wanting to smoke out of peer pressure, they still will. Banning flavored cigarettes won’t make a difference,” Pryfogle said.

There are other ways of combating youth smoking besides eliminating flavors that may entice younger children. Bookner cited a recent law that took effect in Ontario, Canada, which bans large displays of tobacco products in stores, known as “power walls.” All cigarettes and cigars must be stored out of sight at the front counter.

Twelve Canadian provinces and territories have enacted some form of this display ban since 2002, and the results have been positive. According to a survey conducted

by Health Canada, there has been a fall in smoking rates among 15-19-year-olds since the bans were put into effect.

In addition to banning flavored cigarettes, the FSPTCA plans to require tobacco manufacturers to submit the ingredients of their products to the FDA, revise warning labels on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, and eliminate use of the terms “light,” “low” and “mild” on packaging without FDA approval. t&c

Volleyball wins at home

Otterbein wins three of four games to win the Cardinal Classic.

BY ELIZABETH LUTHER Staff Writer

This past weekend, Otterbein College was host to the Cardinal Volleyball Classic.

Columbus State Community College, Denison University, Trine University, Ohio Wesleyan University and Thiel College battled it out with the Cardinals.

Otterbein came into the tournament undefeated at 10-0.

According to Otterbein’s head coach Monica McDonald, Trine University will be one of the top two or three teams the women will play this season.

Otterbein started the tournament against Columbus State and won in three games.

The next match for the Cardinals was against Trine. The first two games were won by Otterbein at 25-22 and 25-23.

Trine’s head coach Kevin Schaefer was seen throwing his clipboard after the second game in anger. Trine rallied to win the

last three games with scores of 25-21, 25-22 and 18-16.

The match against Ohio Wesleyan was the opener on the second day of the tournament.

The match was short and easily won in three games by Otterbein, with final scores of 25-16, 25-13 and 25-18.

The last match of the tournament for the Cardinals was against Denison.

This was another match where Otterbein showed their strength, winning in three games with scores of 25-13, 2515 and 25-15.

With the win against Denison, Otterbein ended in a threeway tie for first with Thiel and Trine. Due to tiebraker rules, the Cardinals clinched first with Thiel taking second.

McDonald was straightforward with the reason why Otterbein came in first. “We were the most consistent team, that’s why we came out ahead.”

McDonald was proud of

how the team was able to bounce back after the loss against Trine. After winning the first two games against Trine, it was hard to lose the last three.

McDonald stated, “The girls battled it out.”

The women were able to keep their composure and win the rest of the tournament.

McDonald was pleased with freshman Stephanie Buckwald and sophomore Kelly Schumacher.

“They came in as backup setters when Lydia [Wynkoop] was out from a concussion.”

Wynkoop suffered a head injury during the match against Columbus State.

Sophomore Lindsey Russell is became part of the AVCA 30 Dig Club with her 33 digs in the three-game win against Columbus State. t&c FOR THE COMPLETE ARTICLE AND

“We are playing pretty well, but the best thing is that we are still very deep.”

Brandon Koons head coach Coach Brandon Koons discussed his team’s performance after the game: “We are playing pretty well, but the best thing is that we are still very deep. We have enough great players that when things aren’t going well, we make a couple of changes, and different kids step up.”
