Football practice wrapped up at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and once again senior wide receiver Grant Schwartz was informed he had been selected.

For what he hoped would be the last time, Schwartz was asked to urinate in a cup while others watched, ensuring there was no foul play.

“I probably have the record for most times drug tested,” Schwartz said. “Five years of drug testing, I’m kind of ready to be done with that, having to pee for someone every week.”

Schwartz is not alone, as Ohio State authorizes about 1,800 studentathlete drug tests each year.

The university spends $75,000 per year to test for both performanceenhancing drugs and “street drugs” such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin.

Since July, Aegis Laboratories, based out of Nashville, Tenn., which OSU contracts out to do its testing, has conducted almost 700 tests. The athletes are given no warning of their impending examinations.

“One of the things that we do is zero notiÿcation, which means it’s a post-practice (test) so there is no advance notice for collection purposes,” said Janine Oman, assistant athletic director of sports performance.

Penalties for positive tests for street drugs are left up to each institution and there is little consistency across universities.

“If you have a positive test for an illicit drug, our policy is … an education intervention component to that, no time loss,” Oman said. “A second positive is a two-week competitive season suspension for illicit drugs.”

The second positive also includes an educational intervention and a third positive results in at least a one-year suspension and can result in scholarship suspension.

The educational component includes assessments with a psychologist and a substance abuse counselor. These therapists recommend an intervention speciÿc to the student-athlete and compliance is mandatory. Positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs, or PEDs, require the same program, Oman said.

par with comparable schools across the nation.

According to a December study

by FanHouse that compiled data from 60 of the 68 schools from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 10, Big East and SEC, only six schools suspended players for a ÿrst positive test for street drugs.

Those six schools are Baylor, Cincinnati, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami and Virginia Tech.

The penalties for a second positive test vary throughout Big Ten schools from no suspension (Purdue) to one game (Indiana) to as many as 30 days (Michigan State and Wisconsin), according to the FanHouse study.

Northwestern was not included in the study as a private university is “not required to respond to public records requests that would not voluntarily

provide drug policy to FanHouse,” according to the study.

Though testing selection is random at OSU and other universities, one positive test removes athletes from the random pool of students and makes them subject to more regular testing. OSU also views alcohol or drug-related arrests as a positive test, Oman said.

The University of Wisconsin has a similar policy, said Steve Waterÿeld, associate athletic director for Student Services.

Besides having the last say in how it penalizes positive drug tests, each institution can report the violations according to its own standards.

Capitalizing on a federal grant combined with the upcoming transition to semesters, the School of Teaching and Learning at OSU is developing more ways for students to become teachers faster.

Project ASPIRE: Apprenticeships Supported by Partnerships for Innovation and Reform in Education, funded the development of the new program.

The project is a ÿve-year federal grant of $12.9 million to support education reform in Ohio, with OSU and Columbus City Schools serving as the administrator, The Lantern reported in 2009.

The grant provides incentives for graduates of the program to teach within Columbus City Schools for a period of three years. The grant was part of a pool of money distributed to universities across the U.S. as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The change comes as programs across the university prepare to convert to a semester schedule.

“If we’re going to really create an undergraduate pathway, this would be the time,” said Rebecca Kantor, director of the School of Teaching and Learning. “The leaders of the university were urging us all, across the board, to use the semester change as an opportunity to look at programs; not just to ° ip the switch from quarters to semesters, but to

RPAC Games Room to feature foosball, Wii, plasma TVs

really consider our programs and our curricula. This was absolutely the right time to make the change and include an undergrad program.”

The School of Teaching and Learning, part of the College of Education and Human Ecology, has proposed curriculum and administrative changes to degree programs relevant to the education ÿeld, including early and middle childhood education.

These changes aim to accommodate students starting college, those looking to change programs and graduates looking for a career change.

The College of Education and Human Ecology and the University Council of Academic Affairs reviewed and approved the new curriculum.

The Board of Regents has not yet

approved the curriculum. Kantor anticipates approval in the spring 2011 and initial offering for the 2012-13 school year, to coincide with the change to semesters.

For OSU students seeking licensure as teachers, the only current option is to earn a master’s degree in ÿve years.

Under the proposed change to the program, incoming freshmen in an education ÿeld will be able to complete a bachelor’s degree in four years, which includes licensure as a teacher, Kantor said.

Completion time, however, for students changing majors will depend on their progress in their previous program, Kantor said.

THOMAS BRADLEY Lantern reporter bradley.321@osu.edu The RPAC is looking to kick off 2011 with the unveiling of The Lounge.

In late November, the doors of the old RPAC Games Room closed and the windows went black.

Kristin Smith, sponsorship and stewardship director at the RPAC, said after more than a month of renovations and design, The Lounge, sponsored

by Nike, is set to open its doors Tuesday.

The goal of the project is to change the Games Room into a more relaxing place students can hang out.

“The energy of the room is changing … this is now a place students can hang out within Rec Sports,” Smith said.

Previously, the Games Room featured two pool tables, table tennis, a foosball table and air hockey.

The Lounge will continue to feature the pool tables and foosball table, but will add three plasma-screen televisions, each equipped with a gaming system.

The Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 with Kinect will all be permanent additions to The Lounge.

Student Life and Rec Sports have partnered with Nike to create this space for students. Smith estimated the cost of the renovation to be near

campus Study: Cats deal with stress like humans SARAH PFLEDDERER Lantern reporter pfledderer.2@osu.edu Cat owners and lovers, an OSU study says that a stable environment and daily routine are essential to keep cats healthy.

Tony Bufÿngton, an OSU professor of veterinary clinical sciences, and Judi Stella, a secondyear doctoral candidate in veterinary preventative medicine, conducted a study that was published in The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association on Jan. 1, which conÿrmed cats become sick due to unexpected changes in their environment.

Changes in a feline environment include altering feeding schedules and play times, substituting the animal’s caretaker, spontaneously cleaning out the litter box and changing other daily routines. Cats become stressed from such changes, which cause them to exhibit behaviors of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss and a decrease in appetite.

Stella’s work aims at optimizing environments in animal shelters to make animals healthier and adopted faster. In 2006, she became the caretaker of a colony of 12 healthy and 20 unhealthy cats diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a feline bladder illness.

Lounge from 1A

Two-day grand-opening planned $50,000. None of the Student Activity Fee or Recreational Sports Fee was used in creating The Lounge. Smith said this change was made possible through sponsorships in the area such as Papa John’s, Raising Cane’s and Jimmy John’s. The corporate sponsorship through Nike was also a main contributor in covering the cost.

Jordan Davis, a ÿfth-year in leadership studies and political science and a student assistant in Rec Sports, took the lead on concept and design.

Davis said on top of all the new electronics and equipment that will be added to The Lounge, there will be all new chairs and couches in the room.

A mural on the wall will be added to represent many different student activities.

Davis and Jason Moore, a fourth-year in marketing, designed the mural. Moore is the student in charge of vision development for the project. Eyethink, the company that created many of the murals on the third ° oor of the Ohio Union, created the mural.

Over the course of a year, Stella created a daily routine and “enriched environment” that pleased the colony. In doing so, she experimented with the height of the cats’ cages and what laundry detergents the cats preferred for their bedding. She discovered cats wanted mats on hard ° oors, and liked to listen to Tony Buffington “Vivaldi’s classical music most,” Stella said.

The unhealthy cats’ IC went away, and they acted and looked healthier when given a stable routine, Stella said.

Bufÿngton and Stella accidentally found their topic of study when Stella went on vacation. Both the unhealthy and healthy cats became sick again with vomiting, diarrhea and a decrease in appetite, Stella said.

Upon Stella’s return, the duo conducted a 77-week study to observe the behavior of the colony and their reactions to unexpected environmental change.

Stella experimented with feeding the colony three hours late and found they stopped eating. She also observed their behavior when the cage cleaner was absent on vacation.

“The mural gives you a really nice picture of student life at Ohio State,” Smith said.

The Lounge is set to open on Tuesday with a two-day grandopening event planned. There will be free food from sponsors, a Madden video game tournament with Block “O”, and a pool tournament with Undergraduate Student Government.

Katie Thomas, interactive marketing coordinator at the RPAC, is in charge of the opening and expects it to be full of activities and games. Besides his full support of the room, Thomas said President E. Gordon Gee will attempt to make an appearance during the opening.

“Dr. Gee has fully supported The Lounge and he has agreed to compete in the Nike Plus Challenge in the spring,” Smith said. The Nike Plus Challenge tracks the number of miles someone walks or runs, and compares it to everybody participating on campus. Gee has agreed to compete with students.

Brett DiFranco, a fourth-year in communications and technology, said he is excited about the opening of The Lounge. He admits he used to walk past the old Games Room and never thought to go inside.

Bufÿngton and Stella concluded the colony became sick from the change in caretakers during Stella’s absence and from changes in their environment they perceive as stressful.

“These sickness behaviors are common in every mammalian species I’m aware of, even humans when they are stressed before ÿnals. It is easy for students to understand,” Bufÿngton said.

MacKenzie Mcnanee, ofÿce staff at Care Pet Clinic at 785 E. Main St., said most animals appear stressed and sick when visiting the clinic.

“It’s deÿnitely because of the stress and anxiety of being in a car and being around other animals,” she said.

Dogs and cats act the same in the clinic, Mcnanee said, but “ferrets have no issues.”

Bufÿngton said it is not likely for the sickness behaviors due to environmental change to lead to other sicknesses, but “everything is possible.”

New toys, food and music should be introduced

to animals over a week’s period because sometimes it takes that long to interact with them, Stella said.

New food should be introduced to the animal beside their old food, Bufÿngton said, so they can choose and show which they prefer.

Stella said pet owners should allow a familiar person to take care of pets and stick to a speciÿc schedule when they go out of town.

“Pet owners should establish a routine and create an enriched environment for their pets tomorrow,” Bufÿngton said. “It’s a good preventative medicine.”

DiFranco is hoping the new room will have a high-deÿnition TV and couches to relax.

Ben Gaddy, a second-year in aviation, said he wanted free stuff from Nike at the event.

Both DiFranco and Gaddy plan to attend the two-day event, to see the room in person and, in Gaddy’s case, get free stuff.

“Our goal was to make The Lounge comfortable, warming and fun,” Smith said. “It gives you a nice option to enjoy your time at the RPAC.”

Education from 1A

Graduates can get master’s in one year undergraduate degree in education is being offered at OSU. The degree was offered until the early-to-mid 1990’s, Kantor said, but did not give speciÿcs about the reasons it was discontinued.

For graduates who wish to change careers, a master’s in education, including licensure to teach, can be achieved in one year, Kantor said.

Andrea Bowlin, chief of staff and director of external relations for the College of Education and Human Ecology expressed enthusiasm for these new options as a way for OSU alumni to embark upon a new career.

“The new program will provide multiple pathways for licensure, while maintaining the integrity of our current program,” Bowlin said.

Kantor emphasized the importance of diversity among teachers.

The Ohio Legislature passed House Bill 1 in 2009, which covers topics from the Ohio Department of Transportation to the Ohio Department of Aging, and amended procedures for licensing of teachers.

The bill changes the career ladder for teachers in their ÿrst ÿve years. Teachers entering the profession will now participate in an ongoing mentorship program, much like a doctor completes a residency program. The aim of the bill is to strengthen the relationship between the state, the school district and the teachers.

“We don’t need cookiecutter teachers in our schools,” Kantor said. “We need teachers that are wellprepared across the board, who bring different strengths to their teaching role.”

What do they test for, and when?

Testing is done for both street drugs and performance-enhancing drugs. It can be done throughout the year or just during championship season.

Drugs from 1A

OSU spends almost $2,100 on drug testing per sport any speciÿc reasons,” Oman said. “That is managed really internally with the different sports.”

Though the Big Ten leaves the reporting of positive drug tests up to the institution, the conference will offer guidance.

“If an institution asked us for a preference of how we would report it, something along the lines of ineligibility rules and the athlete is ineligible for competition,” said Kerry Kenny, Big Ten assistant director of Compliance.

MSU cornerback Chris L. Rucker, Michigan punter Will Hagerup and Minnesota basketball guard Devoe Joseph, among others, were all suspended last fall for “violating team rules.” The exact rules violated were never reported.

The NCAA, which spends $4 million on its two types of testing, has no say in how positive tests are reported and is less focused on testing for street drugs in general, said Mary Wilfert, NCAA associate director of Health and Safety.

“We have two major drug testing programs, one which is called our year-round program … and championships (testing when) we test from the travel roster for student-athletes that are attending the championship,” Wilfert said. “That testing includes both winners of rounds and randomly selected student-athletes from those lists.”

The student-athletes are randomly generated from a computer roster and during year-round testing are tested for PEDs only. The NCAA’s championship testing is done at postseason events and includes testing of PEDs and street drugs, Wilfert said.

OSU tests for street drugs and PEDs every time it tests student-athletes.

Though there are inconsistencies in the policies, penalties for and reporting of positive street drug tests, the policies for positive PED tests are the same across all levels of testing without exception.

“The ÿrst positive is a competitive season suspension,” Oman said. “The second positive is loss of scholarship.”

PEDs are the biggest concern for OSU, the Big Ten and the NCAA. The Big Ten, which along with the Big 12 is one of only two conferences to conduct its own testing, has only been doing so since the 2007-08 academic

year. The program was mirrored after the NCAA’s, Kenny said.

Like the NCAA, the Big Ten tests year-round and at the championship level, but did not include street drugs in any testing when implementing the system.

“That was just a choice that the conference made at that time to not include that as part of the testing program,” Kenny said.

PEDs get more attention from the different testing agencies and football might be the sport with the most concern.

“Certain sports … show a higher propensity for having performance-enhancing drugs in them,” Kenny said. “Those may be on a different tier than other sports.”

OSU has determined football to be one of those sports. About one-third of all tests the university administers test football players.

“We generally are selecting sports that are higher risks according to the research that we do and football is the highest risk for steroids,” Oman said.

The extra attention on football and the size of the OSU Athletic Department (36 varsity sports make it the largest in the country) contribute to the substantial drug-testing budget.

“It’s probably higher than what you may see at other (universities),” Oman said.

In contrast to OSU’s testing budget, the University of Minnesota, which has 23 varsity sports, spends just $28,000 per year, according to director of Athletic Medicine Moira Novak.

Wisconsin is in its ÿrst year of a contract with Aegis Laboratories and estimates its yearly cost for drug testing athletes in its 23 sports to be $15,500, Waterÿeld said.

This means that OSU spends just less than $2,100 on drug testing per sport versus just more than $1,200 spent by Minnesota and just more than $670 per sport at Wisconsin.

Despite the hefty sums spent on testing student-athletes, there is a singular purpose to the thousands spent by universities and the millions spent by the Big Ten and NCAA. “It’s necessary because you have to make sure everybody is on a level playing ÿeld,” senior kicker Devin Barclay said. “So it is what it is.”

Establishing that level playing ÿeld might lead to some awkward interactions.

“We do observe the collections,” Oman said.

After exhausting his eligibility in the Jan. 4 Sugar Bowl, Schwartz is hoping he has been observed offering his collection for the last time.

student voice Shooting brings out the worst in public Don’t point the finger at Palin LANTERN Columnist

A gunman opened fire, killing six and wounding 14 outside a supermarket northwest of Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday. But rather than expressing concern and extending prayers for the victims, including the recently re-elected U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, many have diverted their attention to a political advertisement former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin released several months ago.

The ad consists of a U.S. map with crosshairs labeling 20 DYLAN TUSSEL Democratic representatives who tussel.2@osu.edu voted for President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul last March.

Giffords was among those targeted in the ad.

Links to Palin’s map and comments blaming her for the tragic attack immediately inundated my Twitter and Facebook feeds Saturday after news media reported the incident.

“Coss-hairs (sic) on a map!!! Come on!!! … how can you even sleep at night?” Ara Talaslian commented Sunday afternoon on Palin’s Facebook post, in which Palin expressed condolences for the shooting victims and their families. “God be with you and your family for the burden you will now bear for a logn (sic) time.”

I wonder if Talaslian — or any of the others loosely tossing around accusations against Palin — actually knows anything about the shooter or his motives, besides that he “was a deranged crazy person.”

My guess is that they don’t, considering the authorities investigating the attack have limited information on the suspected shooter, 22-yearold Jared Lee Loughner.

“The authorities have not asserted any specific political motivation to the shootings other than to say that Ms. Giffords was clearly the intended target,” The New York Times reported Sunday.

Loughner had exhibited abnormal, disruptive behavior in recent months, prompting administrators of Pima Community College, where Loughner was enrolled, to suspend him until he received a psychological evaluation. Loughner instead withdrew in October.

While Loughner’s mental state is unknown, his actions and online posts “are consistent with the delusions produced by a psychotic illness like schizophrenia,” The Times reported.

I find it sickening that people have the audacity to assert a connection between Palin’s map and Saturday’s heartbreaking attack. I don’t care if you disagree with Palin’s politics; accusing her of wishing for, and in fact promoting, such an act is callous and offensive. Fabricating such an association is rash, misguided and narrow-minded.

Please, grow up and stop exploiting every situation to bash Palin. I firmly believe she only wants this to be a better world for everyone to live in — even if she expresses it in a way some might find unfavorable.

I know Palin would not have wanted Giffords to be hurt, and I know the intent of her map was not to put out hits on those 20 political figures. It clearly was meant to urge Americans to vote the listed Democrats out of office, not to assassinate them.

“Let’s take back the 20, together!” the ad says in red writing of the 20 districts Republicans controlled in 2008.

Palin has acted professionally and abstained from responding to the recent wave of conjecture that she was somehow connected to this young man’s aggression. She displayed class, posting nothing more than her condolences and prayers for the victims.

“On behalf of Todd and my family,” Palin posted on her public Facebook page, “we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.”

I urge everyone to follow suit and pray for Giffords and the other victims of this violence. What will help these people and their families are your prayers. What will not help them are half-witted attacks against Palin and the politicization of an otherwise apolitical incident.

The shooting that took place in Arizona over the weekend revealed something about this country that is deeply troubling. The events that took place were tragic. Six people lost their lives and many others were wounded. But another disturbing aspect of this story is the way some people are reacting to it.

It seems that we live in a culture devoted to placing blame on anyone we find most convenient, which results in everything becomBRAD MILLER ing political. miller.4410@osu.edu Much of the media buzz surrounding the aftermath of the event centered on Sarah Palin.

During the campaign season, she displayed on her website a map that has now created a great deal of controversy. Her “Take Back the Twenty” map included crosshairs more than 20 congressional districts.

Her message was to vote out Democrats in conservative districts who voted for the health care bill.

This type of discrimination is rarely discussed. I talked to my mother, Mama Pat, about her childhood and seeing her friends forced to be right-handed. I am her only left-handed child. Little

did Mama Pat know that her baby would enter another kind of marginalization: left-handers making up 10 percent of the world population.

This right here is my lefthanders’ manifesto. I am telling you all that Aug. 13 is my new favorite day of the year because it is National Left-Hander’s Day. There are some reasons why we deserve this precious day. There are some hellish things associated with being left-handed.

Left-handed people are more prone to have allergies, insomnia, migraines and a whole host of other things than people who are right-handers, according to different studies.

But, my people, we are on the upswing. Left-handers are

A call to action for southpaws to unite

U.S. Army Sgt. Jay Warner reflects at a candle-light memorial for the victims of the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., at the State Capitol in Phoenix on Saturday. Six people were killed and 12 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, in gunfire at a town hall meeting outside at a strip mall in Tucson earlier in the day.

more likely to be scientists and in the last several decades, we are most likely to be president of the United States.

What is interesting is that our hand domination signifies some

other things as well. It reveals how we southpaws use our brains. Researchers at Australian National University discovered that left-handed people can think more quickly when carrying out tasks such as playing sports, as connections between the left and right brain hemispheres are faster in left-handed people, who tend to use the whole brain.

A study performed at St. Lawrence University in New York by Alan Searleman found that “true” left-handed people — those who favor their whole left side for physical activities — have twice the problem-solving skills and a higher I.Q. than righthanded people. We are wired to be better at multi-tasking.

In some countries, it is

Some media outlets are now pointing to the map as an indication of Palin’s potential involvement in the shooting. It makes sense that this story would emerge. The media must find someone to blame, besides the obvious culprit. It is convenient if that person is on the Right. So, who better to target than Palin? Placing the blame on her creates a much better story than pointing the finger at an unknown loon.

It is funny though, that I did not hear these claims that Palin was inciting violence when the map first came out. Then it seemed obvious that she was talking about politics. But now that someone went on a shooting spree, we are supposed to believe that Palin was behind the whole thing.

We are told by the media that the one person who deserves the blame — the shooter — had a troubled past and that he could have easily been provoked by a map made by Palin during the election season.

This kind of rhetoric is extremely dangerous because it shows future gun-toting crazies that this behavior will earn them above-thefold headlines and considerable TV time. It also shows them that the responsibility for their actions can be pushed off onto somebody else.

People often say that political discourse in this country is vitriolic and uncivil. Case in point.

impolite to touch food or people with your left hand. I say lefties, liberate yourselves. You know you wash your hands. It is time.

When you handle Chipotle, take it with the left. Beast your Canes, Taco Bell and Panera soup with your hand of choice.

I say now, we lefties must gain our reparations. We are tired of experiencing anti-lefty bias in the form of desks that are awkward, potato peelers that are useless, power tools, scissors, pens that smear on paper when we write and computer mice causing hand cramps.

There are several famous actors, inventors, scientists and politicians who are lefties. This large list includes: Julia Roberts, Michelangelo, President Barack

Obama, Paul Simon, Bill Clinton, Laura Chinchilla (president of Costa Rica), Jimi Hendrix, Benjamin Franklin, Julius Caesar and Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to name a few.

Just like Optimus Prime sent out words to his fellow Autobots in hiding on earth, I too say, ‘Come on southpaws, it is our time.’ Lefty allies are also welcome.

New Year’s resolution: Make reasonable resolutions DOROTHY POWELL Lantern columnist powell.447@osu.edu Well, it’s that time of year again, when the world tells us that whatever we were doing last year was absolutely wrong and that we must resolve to quit cold turkey and change our ways.

New Year’s resolutions have always seemed somewhat silly to me. I think it’s always a good idea to change something about yourself that you don’t like, but the idea that it’s possible to drop an old habit as soon as the clock strikes midnight seems a little ridiculous. Why can’t we ease into these new changes? Why do we have to change everything

4A

all at once? Especially since it seems that the two most popular resolutions involve losing weight or getting in shape, two things that require full-fledged lifestyle overhauls. You really can’t expect yourself to go from chip-munching couch potato to marathonrunning superhero overnight. It takes months of training and changing of habits to get to that point — it’s not going to happen as soon as the ball drops (especially when you wake up New Year’s Day with the worst hangover of your life).

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using the new year as inspiration to start making a positive change in your life, especially one that involves your health. But expecting an overnight change to be easy, or even to stick, is just setting yourself up

for failure. Anyone who’s ever tried to quit smoking will tell you that, which is why there’s such a huge market for pills, gums and patches for those trying to quit.

Changing something about yourself that’s as huge as your diet or exercise habits is really about making lots of little changes. Resolutions are so much more likely to stick if they’re broken down into smaller chunks. Instead of resolving to drop 15 pounds by Valentine’s Day, why not instead resolve to monitor your diet more closely, or stop eating in front of the TV, or give up dessert a couple nights a week? Smaller changes like that are easier to stick to, and therefore are more likely to succeed.

And isn’t that the point? You don’t make a

resolution because you want to fail. You make a resolution because there’s something that you want to change, to make yourself better. Once you make one small change that you can stick to and that works, you’ll be so much more motivated to make other small changes. Eventually, you can reach your goal. Most people would rather take smaller, more successful steps and get to their goal eventually than make one giant leap and fall flat on their face.

So this new year, think about your resolution, and whether it’s really feasible. You’ll probably end up more successful in the long run.

COLUMBUS COMICS

bring horror (and humor) close to home the spectrum of classic dark horror to ‘worst-case scenario’ sci-fi and everything between.”

Other contributors to the illustration of the stories are Ryan Brinkerhoff, Michael Neno, David Pickard and Darren Merinuk, each with their own arsenal of artistic skill and coming from different creative backgrounds. Some worked on previous projects with Eppstein and others were found through mutual friends.

“While drawing it, I was thinking back to the classic EC-brand horror comic books of the ‘50s,” Neno said. “EC comic stories were short and powerful, like early rock ‘n’ roll and punk rock.”

According to Eppstein’s website, there was an intentional rock music subtext in the comics.

“I’ve always wanted to start my own comic book. Going all the way back to when I saw my first Marvel Try-Out Book in the early ‘80s,” Eppstein said.

“It’s what I hoped to do all through school and then life got in the way. Recently though, I’ve come to realize that life in quotes is no substitute for really living, so it became time to chase down and tame this old dream.”

With the release party, Eppstein hoped to get some exposure for the book.

“Putting together a comic book from soup to nuts … That’s fun and comes naturally to me. Marketing and publicity? Not so much,” he said.

On the walls of the cafe were the works of the artists that helped Eppstein with the book. Patrons could view the artwork, and some of the items were also for sale.

Eppstein said he hopes to create a second issue in time to make the “quarterly” part of the title legitimate.

He also said that all of his contributors have expressed interest to come back for the next issue. He said many new artists have contacted him recently about the project.

“There’s a lot of talent out there. I’m scared that I have some hard cuts to make in my near future,” he said.

The stories in the first issue include titles like “The Devil and Ellis Church,” “Man Loves, God Kills?” and “The Continuing Adventures of Bus Stop Ned.” The magazine is for sale at several local businesses located on High Street, including Kafe Kerouac and Used Kids Records.

Combining horror and humor can be a tough idea to sell, but local writer Ken Eppstein, the owner and editor of Nix Comics Quarterly, was inspired to make this dream come true. He held a release party at Kafe Kerouac on Friday.

Eppstein said he drew inspiration for the comic book from his college experiences.

“How to hang out in seedy bars watching garage punk bands, how to stay up late watching B-movies, how to chat up crazy people waiting for the bus,” as he described.

His story “Tuesday Night in Ohio” focuses on bar patrons who are preyed on by vampires.

With the help of a mix of artists who illustrated his stories, Eppstein managed to pull the project out of imagination and into reality.

“The nicest thing about doing a comic book is people have really stepped up to the plate to help,” he said.

The overall horror and humor theme of the comic appealed to all the artists involved, reminding them of shows like “The Twilight Zone” and “Tales From the Crypt.”

One of the artists, Rich Trask, said he liked the theme because of “the fun and fright aspects,

New Kids on the Block not as bad as I had insinuated Not helping the New Kids’ cause were accusations of lip-synching on stage. Lip-synching is a tough charge for pop acts to shake. More recent history shows how the same accusation shook Britney Spears’ career while all-but destroying Ashlee Simpson’s. Groups that are entirely comprised of vocalists are already walking a thin line.

The benefit of playing one’s own instruments is that it merits a degree of sympathy from the audience. To RYAN BOOK the blue-collar or day-job maintainbook.15@osu.edu ing listener, playing an instrument constitutes “work.” Vocals, despite the amount of practice put into them, don’t get the same credit. That’s why any country artist, even the “divas” like Carrie Underwood, can still strum a guitar. Kanye West can put months of work into crafting a beat for his song, but he will often only get credit for what he does on stage.

Aside from musical analysis, it seems that the listening public’s taste

ARTS Columnist

Last week during a rant about the New Year’s holiday, I turned my invective on the musical guests featured on Fox’s broadcast. Two such musical guests are the resurging New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys, who I said belonged “in Las Vegas night shows.” Many readers called me out on this by pointing out that the two acts were hardly desperate, and that the Backstreet Boys had even been selling out shows. Feeling stupid, I listened to the NKOTB album “Hangin’ Tough,” the Backstreet Boys’ “Millenium,” and ‘N Sync’s “No Strings Attached” to serve as penance.

It had been a while since I had listened to a boy-band recording (probably the sixth grade) but my music taste has since expanded.

I begrudgingly had to admit that these three were pretty good pop albums. New Kids’ “The Right Stuff” and the Backstreet Boys’ “Larger Than Life” still had it. As much as ‘N Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” doesn’t fit my taste, it’s easy to understand how it became huge.

So what happened? None of these groups was creatively struggling when it fell out of the public’s good graces.

For New Kids on the Block, it was a sudden collapse. The group released its third album, “Step by Step,” in 1990 and it went multi-platinum, as expected. By the release of the album’s third single, “Let’s Try It Again,” the group was old news. The single didn’t break the Billboard Top 40.

for boy bands travels in waves. The arguable first wave was during the New Kids era, beginning with New Edition in the ‘80s, a group that featured Bobby Brown. After New Edition split ways with its songwriter, Maurice Starr, he became the producer for New Kids. The era’s apex occurred with New Kid’s “Hangin’ Tough,” but then fans lost interest.

The next wave began in 1996 with the release of the Backstreet Boys’ self-titled debut. In the next year, both ‘N Sync and 98 Degrees would debut as well. But much like before, the public’s desire for boy bands was fickle. ‘N Sync’s “Celebrity” was the era’s outgoing shot.

The group soon split, with Justin Timberlake going solo. The Backstreet Boys continued releasing albums, but each album’s first-week sales have debuted lower on the charts than the last (not failures, but significantly less lustrous than the group’s previous sales).

The fall of boy bands wasn’t indicative of all pop music, however.

Spears, who debuted around the same time as her boy-band counterparts, continued to be as relevant on the charts throughout the following decade, rehab and all.

But now, New Kids and the Backstreet Boys are back on the map.

Why? It just seems that listeners are ready for a reemergence. Justin Bieber is a force to be reckoned with on the pop charts, and his formula is not far off that of boy bands. Will it last long? History says no, but for the time being, I must admit that boy bands never really die.

Paltrow’s character is weak point in ‘Country Strong’ Leah w ynalek Copy chief wynalek.2@osu.edu The light-hearted country formula of tractors, dogs and booze is nowhere in the script of “Country Strong.” Well, except for the booze. Instead, the movie strives to break country stereotypes with a heavy dose of drama, centered on Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, a mentally unstable and perpetually sobbing country star trying to mend her career.

The movie begins with superstar Kelly Canter (Paltrow) in a rehab center for alcoholism. A humble country bar crooner who works at the center, Beau Hutton (Garrett Hedlund), visits Canter in her room, guitar in hand. As the two improvise a country song together, Kelly’s easy smile and encouragement of the young singer insinuate a sexual relationship between the two, which is contrasted with her timid behavior around her manager and husband, James Canter (Tim McGraw).

James takes his wife out of rehab early and insists that she start touring again, with Chiles

6A

Stanton (Leighton Meester), a young and marketable pop-country singer, as her opening act. Kelly agrees on the terms that Beau also opens for her on tour. It seems McGraw is destined to act the part of the heartless, misunderstanding husband, but the audience soon finds there is more depth to his character.

In fact, both male leads earn the viewer’s affection better than Paltrow, whose character is pitiable but not likeable. Kelly’s rehab stint followed a drunken performance in Dallas where she fell off the stage and miscarried her baby. The incident is referenced on multiple occasions, but the script never allows Kelly to fully express her remorse, leaving her character one-dimensional and urging the audience to sympathize with her husband.

Kelly’s brighter moments are shadowed by an affair with Beau, failed concert performances and drunken sobfests. Even when she returns to Dallas and delivers a knockout performance, which is sealed by the movie’s upbeat title track “Country Strong,” Kelly manages to follow up her success with disaster.

It is no wonder Beau falls for a less complicated

“Country Strong” Sony pictures

Overall: woman, Chiles, whose school-girl-crush lyrics are reminiscent of Taylor Swift songs. Meester’s character has the potential to stand out, but the script’s focus on Kelly leaves little room for Chiles’ character to develop from airheaded beauty queen to misunderstood young woman. Chiles’ decision at

movie’s end between love and fame is her potential redemption.

Scenes between Meester and Hedlund are the most engaging, not only because the pair is undeniably attractive, but also because their duet is the movie’s catchiest song, “Give In To Me.” Hedlund’s deep voice is easily the best of the cast (oddly, McGraw doesn’t sing a note the whole film) and will appeal even to country music haters. Meester’s light pop voice steers the song away from too much twang.

Expect the same from the rest of the movie’s soundtrack — simple lyrics and smooth melodies that will draw you in, even if you can’t handle the melodrama of the plot. Paltrow may be cast as the star, but Hedlund makes “Country Strong” worth a watch, or rather, a listen. His solo song “Chances Are” is simple lyrically and melodically but well-sung, a hallmark of classic country songs.

“Country Strong’s” plot and main character are weaker than its title suggests, but a strong soundtrack and supporting cast make the movie worthwhile for country fans.

Draft status of OSU’s suspended 5 remains up in the air ben axelrod Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu After having its five players who are suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season contribute to its Jan. 4 Sugar Bowl victory, the Ohio State football team will now wait to see which of the suspended players, if any, will return to Columbus for their senior seasons.

The five suspended players: Terrelle Pryor, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, Mike Adams and Solomon Thomas, all played major roles in the Buckeyes’ 31-26 Sugar Bowl victory over Arkansas, and likely helped their respective stocks heading into the 2011 NFL draft.

Before the game, OSU coach Jim Tressel said that the five players were required to make pledges to return for their senior season before he would allow them to play in the bowl game.

“If indeed they wanted to stay a part of our family and make the trip and have a chance to participate one of the greatest games of all time, the Sugar Bowl, they would have to make any decisions based upon their future NFL (careers) prior to us going to the bowl game,” Tressel said. “We didn’t think it would be fair to the NCAA or fair to the other people involved in the process that if someone were able to participate and have no consequences down the road.”

In an apology to OSU fans on Dec. 28, Posey, who caught three balls for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Sugar Bowl, said that he would return to OSU in 2011.

“I promise to return for my senior year, to be a leader on and off the field and to receive my degree from The Ohio State University,” Posey said.

Pryor, who was named MVP of the Sugar Bowl after passing for 221 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 115 yards, also committed to returning for his senior year after the game.

“I don’t think I’m really ready for the NFL. I think I’ve got a lot of learning and better decision-making I have to make on and off the field,” Pryor said. I “talked to coach Tressel and we have a plan going down and I have to follow it exactly how he put it.”

OSU is currently in the process of appealing the suspensions, in hopes of having the number of games that the five players are suspended for reduced.

After the Sugar Bowl, Adams, OSU’s starting left tackle for all 13 games of the 2010 season, said that he would wait to see the result of the appeal before making a decision to return or not. Three days after the game, Adams indicated via his Twitter account that he would be returning to OSU in 2011.

“Official word on me? I’ll be in Columbus for my senior year with my boys lovin life,” Adams posted on Jan. 7.

Thomas, who had the game-saving interception with 58 seconds left, said that he was confident that all of his four of his fellow suspended teammates would return; however, he would understand if any of them made the decision to turn pro.

“Everybody’s different from the situation that happened. Everyone comes from different places; everyone’s financially different and economically different,” Thomas said. “You can never judge. That’s something that this process with the NCAA and the suspension has taught me.”

The deadline for underclassmen to declare themselves eligible for this April’s draft is Jan. 15.

Whack-A-Mole

Buckeyes pound Golden Gophers to remain undefeated nick o tte Senior Lantern reporter otte.28@osu.edu Last Tuesday’s win over Iowa was the 110th in the career of Ohio State forward David Lighty, tied for the most in school history. Sunday, with his team trying to hold off a furious comeback from visiting Minnesota, Lighty fouled out with two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the game.

Now relegated to the bench, the fifth-year senior could only watch as his teammates tried to clinch his record-breaking victory.

It was “the most nervous I’ve probably ever been because I can’t do anything about it,” Lighty said. “I can’t get back in the game to help my team win.”

When junior William Buford blocked a potential game-tying shot as time expired, the No. 2 Buckeyes (16-0, 3-0 Big Ten) sealed a 67-64 victory, despite nearly blowing an 18-point, second-half lead. Lighty finished with a game-high 19 points.

As is often the case in the Big Ten, the game featured a slow, bruising pace for most of the afternoon. Both teams had stretches in which they struggled to score and both committed a lot of fouls, combining for 44 overall.

After finishing his third conference game of the year, freshman Jared Sullinger said he’s learned a lot about what it takes to succeed in the Big Ten. “For me, it’s physicality,” Sullinger said. “It’s real physical down in the paint and the refs just look at you like, ‘Uh, this is the Big Ten,’ so I’ve learned that you have to be physical.”

Early on it was hustle, not physicality, that Sullinger used to spark OSU. Midway through the

Lighty earns 111th career win, breaks OSU record ben axelrod Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu Prior to Sunday’s victory over Minnesota, Ohio State guard David Lighty had never seen OSU coach Thad Matta award a game ball to a player following a game. On Sunday, Lighty became the first that he’s aware of to receive such an honor.

“I got 111 wins, so he gave me the game ball,” Lighty said with a smile following the game.

More than four years after arriving in Columbus as a part of the heralded 2006 OSU men’s basketball team’s recruiting class, Lighty has now earned more wins than any other Buckeye in the program’s history.

OSU’s 67-64 win Sunday gave Lighty his 111th win as a Buckeye, moving him past former OSU walk-ons Danny Peters and Mark Titus.

Matta described the moments following OSU’s latest victory as “emotional.”

“David has never probably gotten the respect

that I have for him, in my eyes, and just what he’s meant to this basketball program,” Matta said. “For him today to achieve that is very gratifying for me.”

Lighty’s run to the OSU record book got off to a fast start during his freshman season when the Buckeyes won 35 games en route to a National Championship Game appearance, which they lost to Florida. The following season, OSU won 24 games and the captured the National Invitational Tournament championship.

In the 2008-09 season, Lighty earned seven wins to his credit before breaking his foot and earning a medical redshirt for the remainder of the season. After returning for the 2009-10 season, Lighty and the rest of the Buckeyes won 29 games before losing in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament to Tennessee.

This season, the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes are 16-0.

In OSU’s win over Minnesota on Sunday, Lighty scored a team-high 19 points, including backto-back second-half 3-pointers that helped the Buckeyes gain the lead over the Golden Gophers.

OSU guard Jon Diebler said Lighty’s impact on a game couldn’t be measured by merely checking a box score.

“The one thing about Dave is that he makes everyone around him better,” Diebler said. “He may not average the most points, the most rebounds,

Hustle from 1B

Unbeaten Buckeyes hold on for narrow win first half, Sullinger dove to the floor on the defensive end to force a jump-ball. Although Minnesota retained possession, it left the Gophers with little time on the shot clock and forced them to take, and miss, a contested, low-percentage shot.

More importantly, Sullinger’s play ignited the near-capacity crowd at the Schottenstein Center for the first time all afternoon, and the Buckeyes responded. Starting with a 3-pointer from Buford on the ensuing possession, OSU went on a 10-0 run, culminating with a 3-pointer from freshman Aaron Craft. The Buckeyes opened up a 12-point lead and eventually went to the break up 10.

The Gophers cut the lead to eight with just more than 11 minutes to go. But 3-pointers from both Craft and senior Jon Diebler, coupled with two from Lighty, sent the Buckeyes on a 12-2 run. The run gave OSU a 16-point lead, its biggest of the game.

However, the Gophers answered with a run of their own, cutting the lead to seven with less than six minutes to play. Several Buckeye turnovers and missed free throws, to go along with Gopher baskets down the stretch, shrunk the OSU lead to just four with less than two minutes to go.

An Al Nolen 3-point play with a minute to go cut the lead to three.

Senior Dallas Lauderdale then missed two free throws, giving the Gophers possession with a chance to tie the game.

“One thing happens on one end and you can’t run to the other end

and compound the mistake,” coach Thad Matta said of his team’s struggles down the stretch. ”We’ve got to continue to look and learn and make sure our execution should be at an all-time high.”

On the final possession, when the Buckeyes most needed a stop, the execution was just as the coach wanted. Lauderdale denied Minnesota’s Blake Hoffarber the ball, forcing freshman Austin Hollins to take the desperation 3-point shot, which Buford blocked to preserve the win.

“I was about as proud as I could be of our defense for probably the first 32 minutes of the game,” Matta said. “There were a couple plays that happened and really, really turned the momentum, and we have to be tougher and play through that.”

Forward Trevor Mbakwe led the Gophers with 16 points, but several Gophers made big shots down the stretch. Minnesota made all 19 of its free throw attempts in the second half, and finished 24-27 from the line overall.

It was one of the few times all year that the Buckeyes have been challenged down to the wire, but despite not executing to perfection, Lighty said he was happy with the perseverance his team showed.

“It got a little hectic and we just had to keep our heads,” Lighty said.

“Things didn’t go our way, but we stuck in there and found a way to win.”

Sullinger finished the game with 15 points and 12 rebounds, his eighth double-double of the season. Craft, who played 34 minutes off the bench, finished with 11 points and a team-high seven assists.

The Buckeyes will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to play Michigan at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

with several NBA first-round picks the most assists or steals, but he’s a guy who we have to have on the court just because of all the intangibles that he brings.”

Having spent his career as a Buckeye playing alongside NBA first-round picks such as Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Evan Turner, Lighty has earned for his versatility and the defensive presence that he has brought to OSU teams. Matta said it’s fitting that a player of Lighty’s nature now has more wins than any OSU player in school history.

“The things that he has brought to this program, all the intangibles that he brings to the program,” Matta said. “He’s definitely one of my all-time favorites that I’ve coached, anywhere.”
