One Ohio State student found out first-hand that what you see is not always what you get when it comes to leasing off-campus properties. After traveling abroad for the summer, Laura Bolling, a thirdyear master’s student in East Asian studies, returned to Columbus expecting to find a suitable apartment. She shopped around to find that students had already claimed most of the nicer properties. But then she thought her luck changed when she found a vacancy at a University Manors property at 42 E. 13th Ave.
Bolling said she asked to tour one of the units, but the company told her she could only see a model. “(My) mom noticed the appliances looked really new and asked if they were that new in all the apartments,” Bolling said. “They said they were in the process of updating all their apartments.” But that’s not what Bolling saw when she walked into her apartment at the beginning of January 2009. “We walked through the door of my apartment, and, lo and behold, you have this refrigerator that looks like it’s 20 years old,” Bolling said, “and it’s been sitting outside all 20 years.”

Ohio Stadium Lego replica fast facts
Lego is abbreviated from the Danish words “leg godt,” which mean to “play well,” according to Lego’s website. Paul Janssen has taken his play with Legos to the next level. In fact, he has taken it to about every level of Ohio Stadium. Janssen is an OSU associate professor of physiology and cell biology and an associate professor in cardiovascular medicine. He finished two years of construction on his Lego replica of Ohio Stadium on Jan. 1. The 8-foot-by-6.5-foot replica will be composed of more than one million Legos after the finishing touches are put on the stadium. And yes, it is and will be composed of only Legos. “I really tried to build the whole thing as a Lego purist,” Janssen told The Lantern. “It becomes less of a challenge if you modify the pieces.” Janssen began collecting Lego pieces for the project in 2005 using pieces of his own collection, borrowing from others and buying new sets in bulk. He estimated the entire structure would have cost more than $50,000 if he would have bought all new pieces for the project. “Lego products range from $1.99 to $499.99, and average sets are between $29.99 and $49.99,” said Julie Stern, Lego Brand relations manager. Janssen took about 20 pictures of Ohio Stadium to create his own blueprint for the build. His construction started in May 2009. He built the stadium in his basement and “worked on it in spurts,” he said. He did most of the building on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m., he said, because his wife and three kids were still sleeping and he could have more time with them later in the day. He built the replica entirely on his own without help or bothering his family, he said. Janssen played with Legos until he was 13, and then went through a period in high school and college when he put the hobby on hold because he was too busy with school. Lego builders call this period “the dark ages,” he said. After earning his doctorate in his homeland, the Netherlands, Janssen moved to the U.S. and

The replica was constructed using about 1 million pieces. Janssen started collecting pieces in 2005, started construction in May 2009 and finished Jan. 1, 2011. The dimensions are 8-feet wide, 6.5-feet long and 2.5-feet tall. The replica is 1/120th the size of the real stadium.
brought his childhood Legos with him. He came out of “the dark ages” and began building again 10 years ago, he said. Lego building is a common hobby among many ages, Stern said. Most Lego purchases are made for children ages 5 to 12, however, many Lego customers are avid adult builders and artists. “We have fans from 2 years old all the way to 102. You’re never too old to play with Lego bricks,” Stern said.

The average price of a Lego piece is 12 cents.

In accordance with his hobby, Janssen co-founded the Central Ohio LEGO Train Club (COLTC) in 2003 with four other adult Lego fans. The COLTC is a non-profit organization for adults that have “(re)discovered the joy of building creations out of LEGO brand building blocks,” according to the club’s website. Janssen is the club’s president.

Office supply vendors cut, more to come OSU’s ‘horrendous bureaucracy’
DYLAN TUSSEL Assistant sports editor tussel.2@osu.edu Ohio State officials say they don’t know how the university’s resource-squandering bureaucracy grew to include more than three times the number of vendors OSU President E. Gordon Gee said would suffice. As of October, OSU worked with 35,000 businesses per year, a number Gee said should be below 10,000 in his address to faculty Oct. 13. “This is one of those things that just happened to happen over a number of years,” said Brendan Foley, vice president of Financial Planning and Analysis at OSU. Gee said OSU needs to centralize its business to save money. “This university has a horrendous bureaucracy,” Gee told The Lantern editorial board Jan. 12. “We’re going to have to move in a number of these areas to a more centralized system.” OSU spends $1.3 billion per year on goods and services, and Foley said the university should save millions of dollars after trimming the fat. Since Gee’s October address, the university consolidated its business in two areas as part of what Gee dubbed OSU’s “de-bureaucratization process.” In November, the university signed contracts with United Parcel Service Inc. and OfficeMax Inc. for overnight shipping and office supplies, respectively, which will save OSU an estimated $500,000 per year. “We have a really attractive contract with UPS that’s much cheaper than FedEx,” OSU chief financial officer Geoff Chatas told The Lantern on Nov. 29. “But the biggie was office supplies. We had people buying things from corner shops.”

campus EARTHA TERRELL Lantern reporter terrell.65@osu.edu Drinking alcohol, going out with friends and receiving a paycheck are essential for some college students, but new research says receiving a compliment trumps all. Brad Bushman, Rinehart chair of mass communication at Ohio State, Scott Moeller, research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., and Jennifer Crocker, OSU psychology professor, performed a study measuring how much college students valued self-esteem. “The study was conducted following a hypothesis that was proposed by another researcher that narcissists are addicted to self-esteem,” Moeller said in an e-mail. A Jan. 10 press release said researchers asked college students how much they indulge themselves in social activities, such as having sex or seeing a best friend. They were then asked to rate how much they wanted and liked each activity on a scale from one (not at all) to five (extremely). The results showed students were more inclined to perform activities that boosted their self-esteem than any other activity provided. “We were all shocked. Self-esteem was not only more important for narcissists, but for everyone,” Moeller said. Bushman said he cannot pinpoint one cause for these results but linked them to several causes including parenting, media and social-networking sites. “There’s no simple answer. We do know they (self-esteem scores in college students) are going up,” Bushman said. “(There is) YouTube and Facebook that allow people to promote themselves … we didn’t have that before.”
Lynne Lyles, a fourth-year in human development and family science, said media influence could be one reason for these results. “There is such an emphasis to be successful and to get a job,” Lyles said. “The media really puts an emphasis on how good one can look. You have Facebook and Twitter and all these other outlets to promote yourself, so people are fishing for compliments.” Lyles said even though she didn’t find the results to be exceptionally shocking, she was surprised to see students choosing to receive compliments over any other activity provided. “I find it interesting but not shocking because we live in a narcissistic society,” Lyles said. “We strive off of acknowledgement when we do something good, but I didn’t know this was this meaningful to people our age.” Keisha Tibbs, a fourth-year in psychology, said she finds the results interesting but not surprising. “Everyone tries to get to their own self-actualization,” Tibbs said. “Confidence in yourself lasts longer (than other activities like having sex).” Although college students’ self-esteem scores have been increasing steadily over the years, there is no direct correlation to academic behavior, Bushman said. There can be some negative effects from striving to boost self-esteem, he said. “I don’t think self-esteem is bad by itself, but when people strive to attain it, they miss things that may be important,” Moeller said. “You might not want to admit to a mistake … so you might miss out on the learning.” Bushman said self-esteem becomes problematic when society assumes increasing self-esteem can remedy bad behavior. “Self-esteem should follow good behavior, not precede it,” Bushman said.
College students value boosts to their self-esteem more than any other pleasant activity, including sex, favorite foods, drinking alcohol, seeing a best friend or receiving a paycheck, according to a study.

Lego from 1A
Replica stadium creator plans to add the marching band “We get together about once per month to either talk about our latest creations, newly released sets or pieces, sales, trade Lego elements, or we get together to participate in public showings of our creations,” he said. Janssen has built Lego trains and Columbus skyscrapers reaching 5 to 6 feet tall. “I have also built fantasy buildings. I built a medieval village with a town hall and some farms,” he said. Ben Coifman, OSU associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, met Janssen though COLTC six years ago. Coifman favors building Lego train sets. Janssen and Coifman have since paired up to teach a freshman seminar called the “Art and Science of Lego Bricks.” New topics are covered each week regarding the history of Lego Group, building techniques, design and marketing of Lego, adult fan websites and how professional artists use Lego as an art medium, Janssen said. “The required text for the class is a Lego set. We still haven’t gotten the bookstore to stock it though,” Coifman said. During Spring Quarter, the seminar will be offered for its third year. Janssen said he enjoys Lego building because it’s challenging, relaxing and he has always enjoyed counting and sorting pieces. “After a long session of build it actually feels like you accomplished something,” he said. Janssen contrasted Lego building to video gaming where there is no physical evidence of completing something.
On Jan. 4, Janssen posted images of his Ohio Stadium replica on mocpages.com, a site designed to post and share Lego creations. As of Tuesday night, the post had received 42,788 views since its upload. “I really just built it (Ohio Stadium) to build. It’s my hobby. It’s very relaxing,” Janssen said. “I thought the shape of the stadium was such an enormous challenge. Round things are easy to build, but the Horseshoe is more difficult. It’s an extremely challenging shape to do, that’s what drew me to it.” Coifman said he hasn’t seen the completed replica yet, but “it is a fantastic model and is sure to be a crowd pleaser, easily recognizable and the thing is huge. The details are incredible.” The replica has 10 sections, each weighing between 30 to 60 pounds, plus the football field. “It is a very sturdy structure,” said Janssen. “I could put my feet on the A deck and jump and it wouldn’t budge.” Janssen plans to add the marching band doing “Script Ohio” and more scenery on the outskirts of the stadium, which would put the count of Legos used on the project more than one million. He has brainstormed doing a fundraiser with the replica to allow people to purchase Lego people to put in the stands with their name on them. Proceeds would go to the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, he said, but it is not a confirmed plan. The replica has a capacity of 6,000 Lego people. He would like to display the replica at the Ohio Union or the Wexner Center, he said, but has not yet looked into the request. Janssen said he has no future building ideas or projects at the time and has no plans to build a structure as big as Ohio Stadium anytime soon. “We might be playing with a children’s toy,” Coifman said, “but we build complicated and realistic-looking models.”

no plan to keep number low after cuts In fiscal year 2010, OSU had five shipping providers and purchased office supplies from more than 50 companies, Chatas said Tuesday in an e-mail to The Lantern. “We will focus on ‘skilled trades,’ like plumbing and HVAC next,” Chatas said, “followed by travel and then janitorial supplies.” Chatas said OSU bought janitorial supplies from more than 200 companies last year. Foley, who oversees OSU’s purchasing group, which is working on the project, said the university must take a few more steps before cutting back in other areas.
“At this point, we’re making sure we understand where we’re spending our money,” he said. “We’ve got to get a much better understanding of it to go out to vendors and do bid proposals.” Gee said OSU has 400 vendors for pens. “That’s stupid,” he told The Lantern. “We don’t need to have 400 vendors for pens. We can get away with one or two.” But once the university cuts back the number of businesses it deals with, Foley said, there is no plan to keep that number down. “We’re working on the plan to cut back, and then we’ll work on getting them not to come back,” he said. “Once the university understands the cost-saving benefits that are realized by doing it differently, my guess is that the university won’t go back to the old ways.”
With budget cuts and tuition increase on the horizon for OSU, Gee said, the university must do more with less. Though officials say they don’t know exactly how many of the university’s 35,000 vendors have been eliminated so far, they say they’re confident OSU is making progress. In October, Foley called the plan an “aspirational goal,” but he now says he expects the university to see results within the next couple of years. Gee said consolidating the university’s business is necessary to save money. “We’re going to have to get a hold of this because it’s costly,” he told The Lantern. “It’s inefficient and ineffective.”
Bolling said. “And meanwhile, University Manors hadn’t responded.” Cunningham said the company keeps all of its properties up to code and the rusty fridge was blown out of proportion. “That is just a cosmetic thing,” she said. “Appliances aren’t replaced just because they have some rust on them. They are replaced because they stop working or are inefficient.” The health inspector thought otherwise when he looked through Bolling’s apartment. “He said they must fix the heat immediately and agreed the fridge wasn’t acceptable,” Bolling said. The health inspector notified University Manors and they came to fix it within the next several days, Bolling said. University Manors did not confirm the date they replaced the fridge. OSU’s Student Housing Legal Clinic frequently provides services to students
in situations similar to Bolling’s, said Molly Hegarty, SHLC department manager. “We see students for various issues regarding landlord-tenant law,” Hegarty said in an e-mail to The Lantern. “Some typical issues seen by SHLC include security deposit, move-in condition, getting repairs and bed bugs.” The clinic provides students free council in conflicts with their landlords, Hegarty said, including advice and representation in court. However, Bolling’s experience with University Manors did not escalate to a legal battle, as the company corrected the issues the health inspector pointed out. “I know a lot of students seem to struggle with feeling powerless against their rental companies, even if conditions in their apartments have gotten ridiculous. Had my mother not called the Health Department, I would never have known that was an option,” Bolling said in an e-mail to The Lantern. “Once everything was fixed, I’ve been very happy. I wouldn’t live here if I weren’t.”

Besides the fridge being rusty, Bolling said one of her stove burners was broken and the heating system did not work. “It was probably every bit of 40 degrees in my apartment,” she said. “It was a legitimate concern.” Bolling said she e-mailed a representative from University Manors but did not get an immediate response, so her mother called the Columbus Public Health Department.

Websites offer chance to get ‘high’ using audio tracks TRENT BARTER Lantern reporter barter.1@osu.edu A new Internet fad called i-Dosing allows people across the country to get their fix with a simple download. I-Dosing uses downloaded audio files, played through headphones, to supposedly give the listener a drug-like effect. I-Doser.com is the most popular of the sites that offer such services as downloadable “highs.” The website offers audio tracks, claiming each has different effects. Some of these tracks include “Marijuana,” “Cocaine,” ”Peyote,” “Gates of Hades” and their top-seller, “Orgasm,” according to i-Doser’s website. Their doses range anywhere from 10 minutes to up to an hour of audio play. The prices are typically $3 to $6, but can be as expensive as $200 for premium tracks such as “Gates of Hades” and “Hand of God.” According to Larry Feth, a professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at Ohio State, the technology used to have an effect on listeners is very real, though Feth doubts the effects. “It’s a phenomenon that is well known and has been for a long time,” Feth said. The phenomenon Feth is talking about is the use of binaural beats. First discovered in 1839, binaural beats occur when one tone is put through one headphone and another tone is fed to the other ear. Using different frequencies and types of sounds, the beats can affect brainwaves. This technology only
Wednesday January 19, 2011
works if it is used through headphones, as there needs to be two distinctly different sounds, according to an article in Scientific American Magazine. James Nestor, author of “Get High Now (Without Drugs),” details this more simply. “Your brain is not evolved enough to understand two frequencies at once, thus the brain recognizes this as one frequency,” Nestor said. Nick Ashton, founder of i-Doser.com, advocated the effects of the downloads. “Some may consider it a placebo, but binaural brainwave entrainment is a proven, scientific and safe method of achieving a simulated mood or experience,” Ashton said in an e-mail. “Only a very low percentage of users feel no effects at all. We don’t release a product until we see 80 percent satisfaction in our question-and-answer studies.” Feth is quick to refute this when asked whether binaural beats can have a drug-like effect. “I suspect this is often called the placebo effect,” Feth said. Sam Lundquist, a fifth-year in civil engineering, tried a sample track from YouTube and had similar thoughts to Feth. “It didn’t do anything for me,” Lundquist said. “If you want to feel something from it you can probably make it work.” Lundquist also opposes the notion that binaural beats can simulate drugs. “I wouldn’t suggest it. It’s a complete waste of time. I don’t think you can get anything from sound waves,” he said. The matter still had school officials concerned in the Mustang Public
School District in Mustang, Okla. Last year, several high school students reported having physiological effects after listening to one of the doses. To combat the issue, the schools had parents notified and started to crack down on the use of phones and iPods while on school grounds. The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs also got involved, claiming this could be used as a gateway drug before trying the real thing. I-Doser.com has not seemed to take a hit in business. It has sold more than 100,000 doses and its i-Doser player has been downloaded more than a million times, Ashton said. “They definitely work. What it does exactly is up for debate,” Nestor said. “The power of suggestion is extremely potent. It’s a great gimmick to get a bunch of bored teenagers to log on to their site.”

Under Matta, Bucks rising to prominence a football program that has won seven national championships and remains a perennial title contender. But there is no denying Matta’s success. When Matta took over the program in 2004, OSU was under NCAA investigation for violations that occurred under former coach Jim O’Brien. The Buckeyes were just 14-16 the year before Matta took over, and when OSU implemented a self-imposed postseason ban for the 2004-05 season, it seemed like a long road for the new coach to restore a onceprominent program. Matta, however, wasted no time. Despite being ineligible for postseason play in Matta’s first season with the program, his Buckeyes grabbed the entire nation’s attention when they upset unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Illinois in the final game of the regular season. The following year, OSU went 26-6 and earned the first of Matta’s now-three Big Ten Championships. Now in Matta’s seventh season as OSU’s coach, the Buckeyes are off to an 18-0 start, the school’s best since 1961-62, and have ascended to No. 1 in The Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches’ polls. “I think that, when I came here seven years ago, our goal
David Lighty, now in his fifth year at Ohio State, has seen just about all there is to see as a college basketball player. He’s played in a National Championship Game; he’s won a National Invitation Tournament title; he’s won the Big Ten twice; he’s played alongside six NBA first-round draft picks; and his 113 wins are the most in program history. His four-plus years and, going back a little further, coach Thad Matta’s more than six seasons in Columbus after leaving Xavier, have provided the Buckeye basketball program with a consistent level of success that the school hasn’t seen since the 1960s. And although OSU is, was and might always be a football school, the basketball program is catching up. “Hopefully they’re looking at it as on the uprise,” Lighty said of the public’s perception of OSU basketball. “When you’re Ohio State, of course everyone thinks of the Horseshoe and the great football tradition, but I think it’s kind of starting to become a dual-sport school.” Obviously, the basketball program isn’t yet on par with

As this year’s Ohio State men’s basketball team continues to replicate the 2006-07 Buckeyes’ success in the polls, grabbing a hold of the No. 1 ranking isn’t the only similarity between the two teams, as both squads have benefited from the play of blue-chip freshmen and the leadership of veteran role players.
The star freshman Both the 2006-07 and 2010-11 Buckeye teams received boosts in preseason hype and attention because of the additions of heralded freshmen post players in Greg Oden and Jared Sullinger. Despite missing the first seven games of his only season at OSU because of a wrist injury, Oden averaged 15.7 points per game for the Buckeyes, including a 25-point, 12-rebound performance in the National Championship Game against Florida.
THEN: Greg Oden NOW: Jared Sullinger
A selection to The Associated Press’ 2007 All-American team, Oden left OSU after his freshman season where he was selected first overall by the Portland Trailblazers in the NBA draft. Sullinger has provided similar support for this year’s Buckeye team and is one of 30 players selected to the midseason watch list for the John R. Wooden Award, given annually to the nation’s best player. In ten weeks, he has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week eight times and the
conference’s Player of the Week three times. A Columbus native, Sullinger said the excitement around this year’s team reminds him of what his hometown was like when Oden was a Buckeye. “The fans is coming out and supporting us. The student life is back at it again,” Sullinger said. “It’s great, but at the same time we can’t let the hype get to our head, and we got to stay grounded and keep playing Ohio State basketball.”

In the 2006-07 season, Oden’s high school teammate, Mike Conley Jr., took command of the Buckeyes’ point guard position and averaged 11.3 points and a Big Ten-leading 6.1 assists per game. Conley, the No. 4 pick in the 2007 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, hit a game-winning shot against then No. 1-ranked Wisconsin on Feb. 25, 2007, that helped the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes clinch the Big Ten regular season title. Unlike Conley, freshman Aaron Craft doesn’t start for the Buckeyes but has still managed to make his mark on the point guard position early in his OSU career, averaging a team-leading 4.9 assists.

on the Week on Jan. 17, following a career-high 19-point performance in OSU’s 69-66 win against Penn State. OSU coach Thad Matta said Conley walked away impressed with OSU’s new point guard after competing against him in scrimmages at OSU during the summer. “Michael liked him just from the standpoint of, Aaron, you know, started guarding him when he pulled into the parking lot when he was here ’cause he wanted the challenge,” Matta said.
Despite having the talented freshmen, both OSU squads benefited from the leadership of their seniors. As a fifth-year senior during the 2006-07 season, Ron Lewis’ veteran presence was most apparent during the 2007 NCAA Tournament, where he was the Buckeyes’ top scorer in three of their six tournament games. He also hit a game-saving 3-pointer against Xavier to send the second-round game into overtime. In his fifth year as a Buckeye, David Lighty, a freshman on the 2006-07 team, has grown into a role similar to the one Lewis played, averaging nearly identical

statistics as his former teammate. Matta said Lighty, who has more wins than any player in program history with 113, doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. “I think David Lighty will go down as the most underrated player to ever play at Ohio State,” Matta said. “He is definitely one of my all-time favorites that I’ve coached anywhere.”
Indicative of the talent that each team possessed at the top of its rotations, both Buckeye teams featured highly touted recruits coming off the bench and playing limited minutes. Entering the 2006-07 season as Rivals.com’s No. 13 recruit in the nation, McDonald’s High School All-American selection Daequan Cook made an immediate impact at OSU, leading the Buckeyes in scoring in three of their first five games. As the season wore on, the Buckeyes became less reliant on Cook, as he played doubledigit minutes in only half of OSU’s NCAA Tournament games before leaving school after his freshman season to become a first-round selection in the 2007 NBA draft.

a similar immediate impact on this year’s squad. Freshman Deshaun Thomas, Rivals.com’s No. 22-ranked recruit in the 2010 class, scored in double-digits in four of OSU’s first five games. Lately, Thomas has seen his playing time reduced, having not played more than 13 minutes in a game since the Big Ten season started Dec. 31. “With Deshaun, we need him to be ready to go,” Matta said. “Deshaun can score, and I think his defense has really, really grown.”

Of the 257 field goal attempts that senior forward Ivan Harris made during the 2006-07 season, 58 percent of them were from beyond the 3-point arc. Harris connected on 39 percent of those 3-point shots and averaged 7.6 points per game. This year, OSU has relied heavily on senior Jon Diebler. Eighty percent of Diebler’s shot attempts this season have been 3-pointers, and on Dec. 15, he tied a single-game school record when he made nine 3-pointers in OSU’s 83-55 win over Florida Gulf Coast. “Ideally, we want to be able to score inside and outside every game,” Matta said. “We’ve shown we can do both, and that’s what I love about this team.” photos: CodY CoUSIno / Asst.

After establishing himself as the Buckeyes’ point guard in his first two seasons at OSU, Jamar Butler shifted over to shooting guard during his junior season to make way for Conley. With all the Buckeyes’ added star power, Butler averaged 8.5 points per game, down from the 10.1 points he averaged his sophomore season. Junior William Buford also has changed positions this season, moving from his natural shooting guard position to the Buckeyes’ starting point guard, filling the void left by reigning National Player of the Year Evan Turner. “Will gets stronger as the season goes on,” Matta said following Buford’s 23-point performance against Tennessee-Martin on Dec. 27. “As a coach you always like to see guys who put in that kind of work have a good outcome.”

Assists 0.2 0.3 When Oden missed the first seven games with a wrist injury, Othello Hunter filled the void in the lineup and in the middle of the paint. Hunter came off the bench behind Oden and Harris for the majority of the season. Senior Dallas Lauderdale’s presence at the starting center position has prevented the need for Sullinger to cover opponents’ top post players, keeping the Buckeyes’ top scorer from picking up early fouls. “He’s going with fire in his eyes; he’s getting rebounds out of his area, and he’s clearing space,” Matta said of Lauderdale. “It does nothing but help our basketball team.”

Lighty saw his role increase as the season wore on, as he played 25 minutes of the Buckeyes’ 67-60 win over Georgetown in the Final Four. This season, Matta has been reluctant to extend his rotation past seven players, but when he has, he’s relied on freshman guard Jordan Sibert. Playing in 14 of the Buckeyes’ 18 games this season, Sibert has shown flashes of being a defensive presence similar to the one Lighty provided off the bench for the 2006-07 Buckeyes. “My coaches always tell me, you know, ‘You’re going to get your time, and when you get it, just take advantage of it,’” Sibert said. “This whole thing is a learning experience, you know. We’re still young; we still have a lot of time to grow.”

Matta coached Greg Oden and five other first-round draft picks was to build a top 10 college basketball program,” Matta said. “Not that you’re going to win the thing every year, but be in the hunt. I’m pleased with where we are.” Perhaps more impressive than the consistent success the Buckeyes have had under Matta is the number of players who have played important roles. Of the six NBA first-round picks who played for Matta at OSU, only Evan Turner played more than one season at the collegiate level. While some — Greg Oden, for instance — seemed like locks to leave after their freshman year from the moment they set foot on campus, others — B.J. Mullens and Kosta Koufos — might have departed for the NBA earlier than expected. With so many changing faces, it might have been easy for Matta to have a down year and simply chalk it up to a seemingly constant state of rebuilding. But as he has made apparent from the beginning of his tenure as OSU coach, a down year is not something he plans to endure, and he certainly isn’t in the business of making excuses. “We’ve won three Big Ten Championships with three completely different basketball teams, playing different styles and different ways,” Matta said. “There’s not a lot of programs that have been hit with the early departures like we have either, but that’s part of it and I’m not making excuses for it. “Probably more, I’m pleased with the kids we

have in the program, how they carry themselves and what they’re about.” Though it seems strange to consider him one of those “kids,” considering the amount of time he’s spent with the program, Lighty has provided Matta with a constant presence in a Buckeye uniform that many players couldn’t. When OSU plays at home against Iowa tonight, Lighty will play his 139th game in a Buckeye uniform, tied for a school record. His 499 career rebounds leave him just one short of becoming only the third player in OSU history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists over the course of his career. Given all Lighty has accomplished, it’s no coincidence that his career progressed during a period of such success. As Lighty has developed, so has the program, and he said he’s been able to see the evolution. “Going through all the years, I think we’ve been progressing and progressing each year,” Lighty said. “It’s something that you have to work on and you have to build. It’s not just something that’s going to happen in one year.” And with his team being a serious contender for what would be OSU’s first National Championship in more than 50 years, Lighty said the legacy he and his teammates have built has a chance to live long after the end of his collegiate career. “It’s up to us to keep the tradition going and build a legacy of the basketball program, and it’s starting right now,” Lighty said. “As we continue to get better, things will hopefully turn around and we’ll be up there competing with the football program.”

Most romantic comedies end with a kiss, a reward following a romantic pursuit. “No Strings Attached,” however, just gets down to business. The film, featuring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, hits theaters Friday. The Lantern was among a small group of college newspapers selected to attend a press screening and conference, all expenses paid, in Los Angeles. The press conference included director Ivan Reitman and screenwriter Liz Meriwether, as well as Portman and Kutcher. Emma, played by Portman, is a doctor-in-training who works 80 hours a week. She isn’t one for emotional involvement, so she opts for a “friends with benefits” relationship with longtime friend Adam (Kutcher) instead. Emma doesn’t have a lot of free time, but she makes time for one thing: sex. Emma and Adam don’t dilly-dally with their relationship; they make it clear they want sex and nothing more. Meriwether said this is a muchneeded update to romantic comedies. “I think it’s the way relationships come together these days,” Meriwether said. “I think a lot of romantic comedies need to catch up to what’s actually happening.” A film that focuses on a “friends with benefits” relationship features many sex scenes, something Portman and Kutcher said never comes comfortably. “I think you’re always waiting, wondering when the word ‘cut’ is going to be said when you’re doing those scenes,” Kutcher said. Portman said the best way to handle steamy scenes is to pretend like nothing ever happened. “You’re like, ‘So, what are you doing this weekend?’ You know, just totally benign conversation in between to make it all normal,” Portman said. Despite the admitted awkwardness, the two look and interact like a natural couple, a connection that was evident to Reitman. “I just really believe in their chemistry,” Reitman said. “They’re clearly exciting to look at together in every form.” When Kutcher’s character wants to take their friendship further, it’s Portman’s character that pushes him away. Portman connects Emma’s commitment issues with the character’s early loss of her father. “It was about having this incredible loss early and wanting to be this sort of pillar for her family, not wanting to get hurt,” Portman said. Reitman said he values the real life issues the film’s characters go through.
Social Distortion has always been lumped in with the punk scene, for reasons that aren’t quite understandable. There has always been a bit of angst (see the band’s 1990 classic, “Story of My Life”) and vocalist/guitarist Mike Ness has plenty of tattoos, but Social D has always been a fairly straightforward rock ‘n’ roll band, and it shows on “Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes.” The group wears its classic influence prominently, especially on the opening trio of songs, instrumental “Road Zombie,” “California (Hustle and Flow)” and “Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown.” The riffs sound straight out of an early Aerosmith release. Add in a chorus of gospel-style background singers on “California” and “Can’t Take It With You,” and the classic rock train is rolling. The downside is that a healthy portion of the album sounds old already (and there’s a difference between “classic” and “old”). In “California,” Ness sings how “the black man taught me how to sing the blues” (a common theme) and in “Can’t Take It With You,” Ness decries a tight-fisted individual (an even more common theme).
“When I started working with (Meriwether) on this thing, I just loved the words, I loved the situations,” Reitman said. While Reitman is re-embracing comedy, Portman is attempting romantic comedy for the first time. “No Strings Attached” is a stark contrast from her last role in “Black Swan.” “It was a pretty great palette cleanser after that really disciplined, focused, very serious kind of set,” Portman said. Kutcher said Portman didn’t need any acting advice, but she did require a little teasing. “It was mostly height jokes,” Kutcher said of the 5-foot-3-inch actress. “She looks like my child when we stand next to each other.” Kutcher’s 6-foot-3-inch frame creates a foot-long gap between the two actors, but that really doesn’t matter when the characters spend most of the film off their feet. “Being horizontal gave us the only opportunity for a tight shot,” Portman said. Having Portman and Kutcher lay horizontally not only provides the best camera angles, but also gives the film an “R” rating.
Reitman said the rating is “particularly for language and ideas.” The film’s sex scenes are tame and Kutcher’s unclothed behind is the most viewers see. Meriwether and Reitman made sure the scenes were tasteful and sent a message of safe sex. “Yes, fake condoms were used in our fake sex scenes,” Portman said. “But people should wear real condoms,” Meriwether said, laughing. “Exactly, not prop condoms,” Portman said.

Ashton Kutcher shows Natalie Portman both his romantic and comedic sides in the film ‘No Strings Attached.’ The film opens on Friday.
“hard times and nursery Rhymes”
Social distortion
“Machine Gun Blues” is a mobster tune, but it sounds tired in comparison to Queen’s “Stone Cold Crazy” (and its more hardcore Metallica cover). Although the lyrical content of “Hard Times” isn’t its strong suit, the songs are still easy to enjoy. Ness takes a trip down a country road by covering Hank Williams’ “Alone and Forsaken” to good effect. He walks a little too far down the road when the band plays “Writing on the Wall,” which sounds like a bad attempt at a modern country release. It didn’t work for Aaron Lewis (of Staind) and Social Distortion shouldn’t try it either. Social Distortion doesn’t break any ground on its new album, but it’s far from washed up. Listeners will have to take what they can get.
Decemberists great; no concept required Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu One of the major complaints against the Decemberists’ previous work is that it’s inaccessible. Listeners tend to struggle with concept albums, and every Decemberist album has been a concept album. The story is different for “The King is Dead.” There doesn’t seem to be a story. The question is whether this makes it easier for the mainstream listener to swallow. The answer is a hearty yes. The album succeeds without a storyline that requires the listener’s constant attention. At the same time, the band hasn’t sold out either. The instrumental approach to the album is not a typical rock band affair. The band has always had a somewhat rustic feel about its quieter tracks. The album gets off to an instantly folk-like feel during the opener “Don’t Carry It All,” but the rest of the album goes even further. The plucking in the track “Calamity Song” makes it sound like an old country tune, and the violin and guest vocals of Gillian Welch (of “O Brother Where
“the king is dead” the decemberists
Art Thou?” fame) make “Rox in the Box” almost bluegrass in nature. A big part of the album’s sound is the band’s outside influences. Vocalist Colin Meloy stated he wanted to imitate R.E.M. on the album, and it shows. If R.E.M. vocalist Michael Stipe took Meloy’s place for many of the tracks, they’d be right at home on “Murmur.” It doesn’t hurt that R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck plays on three of the tracks on “The King is Dead.” Tracks like “January Hymn” and “June Hymn” seem to suggest that Meloy has a story in the back of his mind for the album’s 10 tracks, but if he does, its much more subtle than his previous efforts. The lack of an overriding concept might turn off some Decemberists fans, but these tracks are great by themselves.
The Script sounds rehashed already Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu The first thing that might come to mind when a listener sees the title of The Script’s new album, “Science & Faith,” coupled with the image of two hands joined together, are the religious undertones. That’s as pronounced as it gets, however. On the title track, the Irelandbased band downplays the role of science in the face of love. The lyrics are clever during the song, but not surprisingly, a little sappy. Most of the album is fraught with a similar dose of sentimental mush. “If You Ever Come Back” describes how the door is always open for the narrator’s ex, who apparently left him. The vocals are almost sad in their hopeful yearning for someone that’s clearly not coming back. More entertaining is the song that immediately follows, “Long Gone and Moved On,” which takes a more realistic look at what happens when a lover leaves. The major problem with the group is that it all sounds somewhat rehashed. Part of the problem is that singer Danny O’Donoghue is a vocal mirror to Jason Mraz. Drummer Glen Power prevents the group from sounding too much like Mraz
“Science & Faith” the Script
with his aggressive approach to the instrument, but it’s not enough to make the band truly sound different in a wider scheme. The band makes several attempts to diversify in the form of short blasts of hip-hop inspired vocals. “Dead Man Walking” opens with some quick words, and in the third verse of “This = Love,” O’Donoghue does his best Linkin Park impression by switching gears to a hip-hop delivery. Unfortunately, “This = Love” is also the end-all for the album’s sappy songs, and leaves a sour taste in the mouth for the last two tracks. The Script is not a groundbreaking group by any means. Even if its vocalist didn’t sound like another artist, the band still has a long way to go before it has its own sound.

btw Have Idols’ ills been cured? ARtS Columnist
“American Idol” is back for a 10th attempt at finding the next big voice in popular music. No one can argue that “American Idol” has lost its touch (it was still the most watched show on TV, RyAn Book according to book.15@osu.edu Nielsen), but the ratings dropped more than 9 percent last season, making it the least watched season of “Idol” since 2002. Plus, the top finishers of the last several seasons haven’t fared as well in the real world as performers such as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry. The bosses at FOX and some outlying circumstances led to big changes in the show that might make for some big differences. How much will each change affect the show? New Judges Current judge Randy Jackson has pointed out, as have many others, the chemistry wasn’t there. Ellen DeGeneres obviously has a great personality, but her only experience with music I know of is her dancing in the aisles of her talk show (with regards to her rhythm ... she still has a great personality). As a replacement for Paula Abdul, she was meant to be the nice, motherly yin to Simon Cowell’s yang. It didn’t work. Simon Cowell might be an a------, but he’s the biggest star to come from Idol because of it. Cowell’s contract came to an end after last season. His leaving was not a surprise after the uncomfortable banter between the judges of season nine, but Fox found a problem. How could it replace the star player? The solutions it found were Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler and pop star Jennifer Lopez. The pro is that both are seasoned performers. The con is that neither is particularly funny, based on the initial interviews I’ve seen. Lopez wants you to take her seriously, and Tyler is a little over the top with his “rock star” demeanor. The new appointees will definitely solve the chemistry issue. Just about anyone who isn’t
exceedingly cynical or nauseatingly nice would have solved the problem. The problem is, solving the problem might be a problem. If there is no Cowell, whose acerbic quips are going to keep the contestants in line? It’s easy to tell a William Hung (my favorite contestant ever, by the way) that he sucks, but Cowell excelled at telling very talented people why a performance sucked and getting them to turn it around. I can’t see Jackson strong-arming anyone. New Format Previously, viewers began with 24 possible finalists and then whittled them down to 12 spots. As of now, the show is beginning with 60 possible finalists. Judges will cut it down to 20 for America to vote on, and the network still hasn’t announced how many will make it to the finals. “Idol” executive producer Ken Warwick told Entertainment Weekly it could be anywhere between 10 and 15 finalists. Having 15 contestants is risky. If they are interesting, “American Idol” wins. But if they are bores, the viewing public will tune out progressively as the season, which is three episodes longer, winds down. As a side note, “Idol” will ditch the notion of gender parity when selecting candidates.
‘No Strings Attached’ is fun, if not new Rating:
dAnIelle hARtmAn Assistant arts editor hartman.271@osu.edu For a relationship promising emotion-free, around-the-clock, no-questions-asked sex, things get pretty tied up in “No Strings Attached.” The romantic comedy that “Ghostbusters’” Ivan Reitman directs, opens quickly, covering the friendship of Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) from their awkward teenage years to a by-chance reunion in Los Angeles. Emma, a busy medical student, has developed an unsentimental view of sex, while Adam, who works on the set of a “Glee”-like show, just learned that his girlfriend traded him in for his own father, a former TV star (Kevin Kline). Drink away the upsetting news, Adam goes on a drunk dialing rampage, determined to sleep with the first girl that agrees. Adam awakes the next morning on the couch at Emma’s apartment, naked. With no recollection,
Stricter Format One thing that will not see the light this season: acoustic guitars. Producers told Entertainment Weekly that contestants used instruments as a “crutch” and the show wanted to highlight vocals. For the purpose of the show, this is an understandable development. If it wants to focus on vocals, so be it. It sends a questionable message, however. People with great voices should just forget instruments? It sets a bad precedent. Lady Gaga plays the piano at shows. Chris Cornell might be the rhythm guitarist for Soundgarden, but both his voice and guitar are necessary for the group. The show should allow instruments if it is a vital part of the act. If it distracts the contestant, suggest parting with it. But disregarding instrumental talent is a mistake. Steven Tyler should know. Without Joe Perry, he wouldn’t be here. This season of “Idol” will certainly have more viewers. Two new judges who are still A-list stars will produce a base viewership. The contestants will be the determining factor if viewership drops off at the end of the season. Personable entertainers like Clarkson will keep the viewers hooked. If the finalists are as boring as in years past, not even Cowell will be able to save the show.
Emma assures Adam they didn’t sleep together. But it isn’t long before they find themselves in bed again. Their relationship lives strictly on booty calls. They agree with this setup, admitting they aren’t looking for anything emotional . Portman and Kutcher are easy on the eyes and make Emma and Adam such a convincing couple that it’s hard to imagine the pair in an uncommitted relationship — they just look like they belong together from the beginning. Portman, although playing the comedic role she seems to avoid, is natural and humorous. Kutcher plays the good-guy role well, but Meriwether leaves his character a little undeveloped at times. The audience knows how the movie will end as soon as it begins, but Meriwether and Reitman manage to make the film humorous and entertaining along the way. The story might start with sex instead of ending with it, but other than that, it’s your average romantic comedy.
