While some students pray for heavy snowfall and anticipate e-mails announcing a weekday without classes, Ohio State administrators work frantically to assess the snowfall’s effects. Detailing the fallout of snow and ice in the campus area takes dozens of OSU administrators from offices across the university. Academic Affairs, Transportation and Parking, University Police, Student Life and Facilities Operations and Development, among others, contribute to the decision to cancel class. “It is important that we keep open communication with students and staff,” said Bob Armstrong, director of OSU Emergency Management and Fire Prevention. Faculty and staff from departments across campus suggest a course of action to a senior administrative team consisting of deans and provosts. From there, the administrative team gathers its thoughts and reports to President

On campus or off? Where you live can make or break a college experience. Deciding whether making a smaller rent payment outweighs dealing with landlords who don’t fix things that break should factor into your decision. Looking for a place to sleep and shower as long as the price is right — even if the water is cold and the mattress is lumpy? Off-campus options are likely your best bet. But if you prefer to fork over a couple extra bucks — and forgo the extra freedom that comes with leasing your own place — to have a garage where you can park your car, living in a residence hall might be the attractive option. Though many students complain about maintenance issues in their off-campus residences, Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee told The Lantern editorial board Jan. 12 that he hopes to address such issues through greater university involvement in the standards of off-campus housing. But until that goal becomes a reality, students are faced with a decision: spend more for the convenience of a meal plan, speedy maintenance service and a parking spot; or save some money for commensurately worse maintenance response times and increased freedom. The vast majority of students have opted for the latter.

On-campus housing OSU strives to resolve all service requests within 24 hours. In 2009, 66 percent of service requests were resolved within 24 hours; 82 percent were resolved within 48 hours. OSU has an online service request system for students living in its residence halls.
There are more than 36,000 parking spaces on campus. Several halls have their own parking lots. Yearly parking passes range from about $85-$630, depending on the location of the parking lot.
$$
Residence hall rates range from $1,665-$2,290 per quarter. Students can purchase meal plans ranging from $1,070-$1,665. There is a mandatory $525-per-quarter fee for students who do not purchase meal plans.
About 9,900 students live on campus. Of those, about 5,500 are first-years.

Off-campus housing Landlords must make all repairs within “a reasonable amount of time,” which generally is up to 30 days. In emergencies, they might have to address the issues sooner. When making maintenance requests, students should put the requests in writing and keep a copy for themselves.
Many landlords do not offer off-street parking to tenants. Most who do offer off-street parking charge a fee for it, but some offer it for free or include it in the rent. Yearly city parking permits, for street parking, cost $25.
$$
Apartments range anywhere from a couple hundred to more than $1,000 per month, not including utilities. A 40-swipe, off-campus meal plan is available for $420 per quarter.
About 46,100 students live off campus.

In less than 48 hours, Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice, went from sleeping in a homemade tent in the bushes behind an abandoned gas station on E. Hudson Street to announcing the introduction to NBC’s “Today Show” at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. His story has started a call for civility and respect among those working with the homeless community around Columbus. Williams’ tentmate is even inspired to find a better life. Columbus Dispatch web producer Doral Chenoweth recorded the now-famous video of
17/11 flurries 22/18 partly cloudy 24/16 mostly cloudy 29/27 cloudy www.weather.com
Williams, which was viewed more than 12 million times on YouTube before the Dispatch requested it be removed. “I think it’s opened a lot of people’s eyes to be a little more human to the homeless,” Chenoweth said. He cited an e-mail from a man in Oregon who said he has walked by a homeless man for five years. Ted Williams “Now he’s going to say hello to him.” Victor Houston doesn’t want to be in a shelter. Houston lived in the homemade tent with Williams for two months, until Williams’ rise to fame left him alone.
“I don’t want to be around people that drink and do drugs,” Houston said. “That ain’t for me.” Houston said he has been getting a lot of attention since Chenoweth’s video went viral, and also a little assistance. “They help me out with food, they help me out with blankets,” Houston said. “They’re gonna help me get up out of here.” Houston said he has been sleeping outside for more than three years. “I don’t care if I’m in a home or an apartment or whatever,” Houston said.

campus Roommate assignments lose some human touch ALLY MAROTTI Campus Editor marotti.5@osu.edu About 9,900 students live on campus each year, and all are in search of the perfect roommate. It is one woman’s job to decide who each of these students will live with for the school year. Toni Greenslade, housing administration director, assigns roommates to every student who applies to live in one of Ohio State’s residence halls by hand, meaning she does not use a computer. Students who renew their housing contracts often request roommates and residence halls, which makes the process easier, Greenslade said. “For current students, it takes a week, max,â€? Greenslade said. “For new students, it probably takes closer to five weeks.â€? Greenslade said that of the housing applications her office receives, 35-40 percent are renewals and 60-65 percent are for new residents. “It’s a heavily labor-intensive process,â€? Greenslade said. The date students turn in their housing applications drives the process of assigning roommates and residence halls. Current students have a period in January and February to renew their housing contracts. Future students can start submitting their applications for housing in April. “Once we do a pass through and put everyone in buildings ‌ then I will sit down and start putting roommates together,â€? Greenslade said. Students are placed together based on their answers to a questionnaire they completed with their application for housing. “Not always will the outcome be perfect or anything, but it makes the students feel like a person instead of just a number on campus,â€? said Gabby Bockelman, assistant director for Housing Services. Greenslade said the housing department typically receives less than a 0.2 percent request for change once students get their rooming assignments. “We lived in Lincoln (Tower) and had a big suite of girls and we all got along really well,â€? said Katy Ettinger, a second-year in psychology. “We’re still really close.â€? Every spring, Greenslade receives one or two gratifying phone calls from parents thanking her for their child’s successful room assignment. However, Ashleigh Muth, a fourth-year in animal sciences, said she had so many roommate problems that her grades suffered. “After one quarter, we had a knock-down, drag-out fight. I ended up moving out at 12:30 a.m.,â€? Muth said. “The matchups were just bad. They seemed to be OK on the surface because we all had the common goal of becoming a veterinarian, but that’s it. That’s all we had in common.â€? Although circumstances such

Toni Greenslade, Ohio State housing administration director, works in her ofďŹ ce in Morrill Tower, Tuesday. Greenslade has been assigning campus housing roommates for 27 years, but an automated system will do the job starting in the summer. Greenslade said the system will be evaluated after the ďŹ rst year to see how well it did. President E. Gordon Gee told The Lantern editorial board Jan. 12. “Technology, if done well, is also very personal. In fact, you can get more characteristics ‌ than someone reading a sheet I think, and there will still be a very strong human element to it.â€? Greenslade said they’ve been happy with the system thus far. “We’ve spent a lot of time looking for a system that is multifaceted. It’s a relatively new phenomenon, so we didn’t want to jump on the bandwagon,â€? Greenslade said. Mark D’Arienzo, associate director for university housing and administration at Northwestern University, said it went to an automated process a few years ago and it has worked well. D’Arienzo said he thinks students today want to know the housing department has its data under control and it isn’t just one person assigning their future. “They want to know the man behind the curtain,â€? D’Arienzo said. With OSU’s new automated system, Greenslade has taken on the management of a housekeeping job. “It’ll be sort of sad,â€? Bockelman said. “I think it’ll be somewhat difficult for (Toni), giving up that control.â€? Greenslade said the new system will have many benefits and save time, but she has always enjoyed her work. “I’ve been doing it so long it’s ‌ something I’m very comfortable with,â€? Greenslade said. “This is going to sound funny, but I know what feels right.â€?
as Muth’s do arise, Greenslade said the students are wonderful. Greenslade has been doing her job for 27 years. “She enjoys doing it and it’s sort of a skill that she has,â€? Bockelman said. As an undergraduate, Greenslade interned at Princeton University and helped with the housing process. A mentor at Princeton told her that if she enjoyed her work, she should pursue a master’s degree. After graduating from Hiram College in northeast Ohio, she came to OSU for graduate school. Following an internship at OSU, she was hired. Greenslade said she plans to remain at OSU until she retires. The biggest change Greenslade has seen over the years is in the interests of the students. “When hacky sack was first a craze and it started on the East Coast, we started seeing comments,â€? Greenslade said. “‘We’d like a roommate who can play hacky sack.’ Well that’s very interesting, but first we had to find out what hacky sack is.â€? Starting this summer, OSU will make the switch to automated rooming assignments. “We want to try to stay up with what the other schools are doing,â€? Bockelman said. “Most of the Big Ten schools question ‌ why would you put all that time and pressure on yourself to physically assign people rather than just have a computer do it for you?â€? As OSU moves to semesters, the new process will enable the housing department to get rooming assignments to students sooner. It will also keep track of communication with students and store all e-mails. “The world is technology,â€?

Construction on West Lane Avenue between Riverside Drive and Northwest Boulevard might frustrate drivers, but businesses are not worried. On Monday, American Electric Power began digging underground electric utility lines, restricting traffic to two lanes, said Bob Darragh, resident project representative at CT Consultants. Darragh, who oversees the project as it traverses Upper Arlington, said the project will continue to move eastward until reaching Ohio State. “It’s a connection from one AEP substation to a substation that is north of the new (OSU Medical Center) project,� Darragh said. Phase one of the project started just west of Northwest Boulevard, Darragh said, and will
continue west to Riverside Drive, likely lasting through the end of May. Phase two will then begin, starting at Northwest Boulevard and heading east to North Star Road. After phase two is completed — Darragh said hopefully in June — the project moves into the jurisdiction of the City of Columbus, and out of his hands. “The City of Columbus apparently will make arrangements for inspection of the roadway during the reapportionment of the project,� Darragh said. The lines will run under the southern-most lane on West Lane Avenue, and both eastbound lanes will be closed, Darragh said. But some businesses are not fretting the orange barrels.

During Winter Quarter, most students look for snow to get them out of classes. For those in class at Smith Laboratory Wednesday afternoon, the answer came in the form of leaking pipes. Flooding prompted the evacuation of Smith Lab at about 3:30 p.m. Bob Armstrong, Ohio State’s director of Emergency Management and Fire Prevention, said the issue most likely occurred as a result of an earlier pipe installation. “It sounds right now like a contractual error,� Armstrong said. The contractor, S.A. communale, was not immediately available for comment. Suellen Ault, an OSU fire prevention specialist, said workers shut off the water for the installation, but flooding began on the fifth floor after the water came back on. Ault said when the water came back on, the standpipes in stairwells 2, 3 and 5 were uncapped. A standpipe is a large pipe in an open area that firefighters can plug hoses into for easy access during an emergency. Water streamed down stairwells 3 and 5 from
the top to the bottom floors and gathered in pools at the hallway entrances to the stairwells. Stairwell 2 did not undergo any flooding. Initial reports indicated there was no damage to costly lab equipment, but anthropology department fiscal officer Wayne Miller said the offices in the basement could have damage. “It’s hard to say much yet,� Miller said. “Our offices are downstairs, and there’s carpet.� The elevators to the building were closed as a safety precaution. Maintenance workers arrived on the scene at about 4 p.m. with wet vacuums to begin cleaning up the standing water. Some classes ended early because they were in session when the alarm rang, but most returned to business after a brief stint outdoors. Communication professor Tonya Ewing said OSU officials did not inform instructors of events, but said she heard from building employees that a floor had flooded, and she decided to push ahead with her public speaking class. “Probably not the best decision,� Ewing said, “but we decided it was a water issue and not a fire issue, and we went ahead and had class.�

OSU official consults with doctors about health risks E. Gordon Gee, who makes the final decision, Armstrong said. “We have been lucky enough to not have that conversation so far this year,” Armstrong said. “We had it four or five times last year.” The most recent snow-related class cancellations on the Columbus campus have been on Feb. 16, 2010, and Jan. 28, 2009. “Very infrequently we have to call a snow day because it’s very, very difficult for us to shut down an institution and generally we take care of things,” Gee told The Lantern editorial board Jan. 12. Each OSU department that plays a role in making a cancellation decision has responsibilities to consider when contemplating its recommendation. Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president for Student Life, aims to protect student health and safety. “(Adams-Gaston) will consult with doctors at the Student Health Center about whether the weather presents dangers of frostbite or hypothermia,” said Ruth Gerstner, OSU Office of Student Life spokeswoman. “Adams-Gaston will also talk with Transportation and Parking and Public Safety about driving conditions.” While looking at the temperature or assessing snow accumulation might offer hints to the fate of classes, students should not rely on any specific numbers. “There is no absolute temperature, snowfall amount or other specific hazard that triggers the cancellation of classes,” said Amy Murray, OSU spokeswoman. Variables that Murray said played a role in the decision include whether roads, parking lots and sidewalks are safe and clear, buildings can be kept warm and if the weather forecast predicts dangerous weather. “I’m more concerned about the ice than the

base in the neighborhood,” Sloane said. “People will find a way to get here.” A little further west, at Schwarz Sunoco, owner Rick Schwarz said he has yet to notice any effect on business. As the construction moves eastward, he said that may change. “I suppose once they come through the intersection, it will probably be a big problem,” he said. Schwarz Sunoco, at 1800 W. Lane Ave., is on the north side of the street, a fact Schwarz said will help his business. “I imagine that it impacts the other side of the street a lot more
300-500 people estimated to be homeless in Columbus shelter that Williams claimed to have visited, said she hopes the story will show that homeless people have their own lives and histories. “Being homeless is just a moment in that time,” Easter said. “It doesn’t define who that person is.” Bob Ater, executive director at Columbus Coalition for the Homeless, said Williams represents a pool of people who have unnoticed talents and skills. He said there are homeless engineers, musicians and artists who are unable to showcase their talents because of their condition. “Among homeless people, there is a lot of talent that goes unrecognized,” Ater said. Ater and the Columbus Coalition for the Homeless estimate there to be 300-500 homeless people in Columbus, not including those in shelters. He said there are hundreds
than it impacts us,” Schwarz said. Whole Foods Market, located at 1555 W. Lane Ave., might be unlucky in Schwarz’s eyes, but marketing team leader Mandy Moore said she isn’t expecting any adverse affects. Like Sloane, she cited the 315 construction as precedent. “We experienced the same construction restrictions then, and we didn’t see any variations in sales,” Moore said. “So we’re not really anticipating anything at this time.”
snow,” said Albert Kos, a third-year in architecture. “OSU should limit school when there’s ice because people are always slipping on the paths.” According to OSU policy, students’ absence from class because of a level 3 snow emergency will be excused as long as they notify their professor. During a level 3 snow emergency, all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel and those found on the road might subject themselves to arrest, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation website. Armstrong said students and faculty interested in keeping updated with snow-related news should call 614-247-7777. The automated line, which announces emergency cancellations, is updated before any other outlet. OSU officials make all possible efforts to notify students by 7:30 a.m. for morning classes and 3 p.m. for evening classes. Even though students do not attend class during a snow day, some faculty and staff still have to come to campus. “Most Student Life employees are (listed as) ‘essential’ for weather emergencies,” Gerstner said. “That way we can provide those students who must remain on campus with housing, meals, health care, places to go and things to do.” Although snow days happen, students looking for a day off the next time it snows should be careful about getting their hopes up. “The university takes very seriously its obligation to provide the full measure of instruction to tuitionpaying students,” Murray said. “For that reason, we try to remain open.” Gee agreed with Murray and Gerstner. Although Columbus is in the snow belt, he said, snow days are extremely difficult and rare. “First of all, we say, well, only essential personnel want to come in. I never want to be a nonessential person at a university,” Gee said. “We have animals, we have patients, we have so many different kinds of things that, you know, we’re not a school district. We have a very complex institution so shutting an institution down is very, very difficult for us.”
of factors causing homelessness, but some of the most common are drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, unemployment and family break-ups. Williams, having struggled with alcohol addiction, agreed on “Dr. Phil” on Jan. 13 to enter a 90-day rehabilitation program. Multiple calls and e-mails to Williams’ agent went unreturned. Easter said it is difficult for people to get the help they need when overcoming abuse, whether they are homeless or not. She said when someone is ready to enter a treatment program, it is not uncommon for them to wait eight to 12 months for an appointment. “That’s almost impossible for someone who’s housed,” Easter said. “When their situation is a little more transient, it becomes even more of a challenge.” The recession has been a challenge for shelters as well. Easter said Faith Mission had a decrease in money and an increase in visitors. “We’re being asked to do more with less,” she said. “While we do what we can to make
it a pleasant environment, it’s a shelter. No one wants to be here.” Ater agreed, adding that the vast majority of shelter users only stay for one or two nights at a time. He said the strict rules of many shelters are off-putting to some homeless people. “They have dogs, girlfriends and boyfriends that they can’t take with them,” Ater said. “So the camp is the best alternative for them.” Although there have been agencies, advocacy groups and charities working to improve life for the homeless for decades, one two-minute video of a man with a “golden voice” has brought the issue into the foreground of the news cycle. Though the effects on shelters seem no more than thought-provoking, Chenoweth said the physical benefits of Williams’ story will come later. “The change will be slow, but at least it’s change,” Chenoweth said. “The poor will always be with us, but we could make life a little better for them.”

student voice Kids these days: Child prodigies putting pressure on young people to reach their goals early on in life LANTERN Columnist
As I browsed news stories this past week, I noticed a recurring theme. The winner of the 2011 Miss America Pageant is a 17-year-old model. The most popular free iPhone game available, Bubble Ball, was developed by a 14-year-old mastermind. A 15-year-old child prodigy completed a surgery in Delhi, India. The greatest of accomplishments are being made by those who are of a very, very young age. It is wonderful to see that age is no longer a factor when planning goals; even the youngest children

can outcompete those with greater life experience. However, terms such as “child prodigy” do not seem to have the same meaning as before. A child prodigy is no longer someone who defies the expected at such a young age, because it is happening frequently. I can’t help but wonder if these changes are healthy encouragement for those watching. The media influence many decisions made on a daily basis. This applies not only to the products and services we buy, but the way we dress, act and plan our lives. Children are especially affected by this, and the influx in young people achieving great things is encouraging children to do the same. Although I do believe this encouragement could be beneficial — students might feel the need to study more, work harder, etc. — I do think that this could quickly turn for the worse as well. As discussed on timesonline.co.uk, a 4-year-old child in India attempted to run a 43-mile marathon in 2006 to try to set a record. When stopped by doctors, it was found that the child “showed signs
of exhaustion after 40 miles and later (was) found to be malnourished, anemic and under cardiac stress.” If a child at the extremely young age of 4 is able to feel pressured to create new records, young adults and teenagers must also be feeling the same. As a college student, I know I sometimes feel urged to get the best grades and into medical school as soon as possible. However, I have grown up knowing to travel at my own pace, and am therefore able to do so. Those still growing up and learning need to be taught the same. We cannot expect them to learn this on their own with the media influence in today’s society. It is a life lesson that should be passed on through generations. The many magnificent accomplishments made by the younger generations should be acknowledged and marveled, but children should be reminded that they are not expected to meet — or surpass — these individuals. If it happens, then fantastic. If not, there are many other goals one can aim to fulfill.
Social media becoming a double-edged sword LANTERN Columnist
At the Golden Globes on Sunday, Tina Fey quipped how social networking has “ruined our ability to interact one on one.” Although Fey’s assessment on the naturally arising drawback of Facebook holds truth, the possible revelatory benefits of Facebook have been proven through recent events in Tunisia. On Dec. 17, an unemployed college graduate, Mohamed ANUS GREE GARG Bouazizi’s last-resort career as garg.30@osu.edu a street vendor was shattered when police confiscated his fruit and vegetable cart. Consequently, he posted a Facebook note to his mother, asking her to “blame our times and not me” and in an act of desperation set himself ablaze near a government building. This suicide galvanized the youth of Tunisia into protesting on the street, starting in Sidi Bouzid, the hometown of Bouazizi, and spreading throughout the country. These protests, now termed the Jasmine Revolution, were aided by Facebook posts of the protests, politically charged tweets and the rapid succession of video posts. The target for the demonstrations was President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the oppressive president whose 23-year reign had ended in high food prices and a 14 percent unemployment rate. The college graduate population was especially hard-hit. Also, WikiLeaked U.S. embassy cables had highlighted the “dangerous cancer” of corruption of President Ben Ali and his coterie while emphasizing the Tunisian Internet Agency’s “omnipotent” restriction of the media. These were the times Bouazizi spoke of. Several dominant Internet activist groups have roused citizens to action. SBZ news, whose profile picture is a blood-splattered emblem of the Tunisian flag, posted a video of protesters entering into the building of RCD (Constitutional Democratic Rally), the party of ex-president Ben Ali. Nawaat, another Facebook activist group, claims its mission statement to be “an independent collective blog enlivened by Tunisians.” A hacktivist group on YouTube, called Anonymous, although sporting Guy Fawkes masks, broadcasts updates on the Tunisian situation and depicts the ongoing rebellion, although introducing its videos with a message stating its reliance “on the citizens on the streets.” In response to this vehement opposition, government leaders of similarly autocratic countries are becoming increasingly worried as their own citizens, inspired by the events in Tunisia, have shown signs of protest. The New York Times reported three attempted cases of selfimmolation in Egypt mirroring that of Bouazizi in the last two days, while Algeria has had eight cases of self-immolation in recent weeks. Although Tunisia’s uprising possibly indicates things to come for other Arab states in the region, the political, economic and social factors that led to the seemingly abrupt revolts might be unique to Tunisia. Ultimately, the success of the protests should not be disproportionately attributed to social media. The prime movers were the Tunisian people, whose deep-rooted anger was only more effectively communicated through Facebook and other Internet venues. Yet, in the capacity of facilitator, Facebook’s value for mobilization cannot also be discounted. A Tunisian CNN ireporter, Akallel, aptly summarized Facebook’s role as “helping a nation reinvent its freedom.”

Children need our help to obtain quality education Letter to the Editor Martin Luther King Jr. believed passionately that all human beings deserve the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. While we’ve come a long way as a nation to right the injustices that Dr. King and other leaders worked so hard to overcome, our education system still perpetuates inequity. I believe educational inequality is our generation’s civil rights issue. We live in a country where a child’s chance at a quality education and resulting life opportunities are determined by where a child is born, what color that child is and how much money that child’s parents earn for a living. This is not just. This is not right. Today, more than 50 years after the Brown v. Board of Education decision, just half of students who grow up in low-income communities graduate from high school. Those who do graduate perform, on average, at an eighth grade level. Only one in 10 kids living in poverty will earn a college diploma. For most of us, these are shocking statistics. But for more than 15 million American kids growing up in poverty, this is reality. AfricanAmerican and Hispanic kids are disproportionately affected, because they are three times more likely to live in poverty than white children. By the fourth grade, these children are three grade levels behind their white peers. Access to a quality education is a fundamental right of every U.S. citizen. How are these kids going to succeed in life and become our country’s future leaders if they can’t even get a quality education? While I am best known for my work as a musician, I am also deeply invested in working to end educational injustice in our country. My Show Me Campaign, fights each day for equal access to quality education. I wrote an original song called “Shine” for the recent documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman’” in order to amplify the students’ voices and help tell their story. Through my efforts to help Teach For America recruit top college graduates to teach in urban and rural schools and become lifelong leaders in the fight to ensure educational opportunity for all, I have seen students in low-income communities excel academically when they are given the opportunities they deserve. In East Feliciana Parish, La., 74 percent of residents are African-American or Hispanic and 84 percent of
students qualify for a free or reduced price lunch. Statistically, these students should be falling behind. Yet at East Feliciana Middle School, under the leadership of Teach For America alum Allison El Koubi, their School Performance Score jumped 18.5 points in one year. It was the biggest increase of any middle school in the state. Teach For America corps members and alumni have had an enormous impact on narrowing the achievement gap nationwide. Last year, Meg Stewart, an Oakland, Calif., Teach For America corps member helped her special education students demonstrate JOHN LEGEND nearly two years of reading growth on the Developmental Reading Assessment and achieve a mastery level of 94 percent on prioritized standards. Every day, 8,200 Teach For America corps members just like Stewart enter classrooms in low-income communities across the country, committed to helping their students maximize their potential. Research shows that an effective teacher is the single most important factor in boosting student achievement — more important than the class size, the number of dollars spent per student, or the quality of textbooks and materials. Our society has eradicated many of the injustices King challenged with such conviction and courage. But if he were here today, I believe he would say that our work is not done. A good education is inextricably linked to our rights as American citizens, and a quality education should be a fundamental right. Education is today’s civil rights issue — and we have the power to do something about it. Education inequality is a solvable problem. We’re seeing success around the country in great schools with great teachers. Join the modern-day civil rights movement, and help ensure that ALL children have equal access to a great education. In the words of Dr. King — “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” John Legend is a six-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, founder of the Show Me Campaign and a Teach For America board member.
Roe v. Wade anniversary triggers thoughts about ruling’s fairness, women’s rights
4A
LANTERN Columnist
Jan. 22 marks the 38th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in the landmark case Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion. As of the 22nd, American women will have had the right to decide the fate of their own bodies for 38 years. Every year around this time, I like to take a moment and think about what this right means to me. I have never been pregnant (nor, obviously, had an abortion), but I find it extremely reassuring that if I were ever to find myself pregnant and scared, I would have options available to me. I would have the right to decide what changes my body would go through in the next nine months. I am lucky enough to have an emotional and financially supportive family that would help me through whichever decision I decide to make, and to live in a
DO ROTHY POWELL powell.447@osu.edu place where abortion services are readily available. Unfortunately, not every American woman is so lucky. In the state of Kansas, for example, there are three abortion providers, according to abortion.com’s service listings, for a population of almost three million people.
Ninety-seven percent of counties in Kansas have no abortion providers. So while women in Kansas have the legal right to obtain an abortion, how many are completely unable to because they have no access? Geographic distance is not the only obstacle that many women have to overcome in order to obtain a safe, legal, common medical procedure (about one-third of American women will have an abortion in their lifetime, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a non-partisan think-tank that focuses on reproductive health). Guttmacher’s State Facts About Abortion: Kansas, show there are laws that require medical professionals to lie to women, telling them that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer. There are laws that make
women wait 24 hours between having a counseling session and having the procedure (which will be extremely hard to do when a woman lives four hours from her nearest clinic). There are laws that require that young women under the age of 18 inform or get permission from their parents before having an abortion — and it’s not unheard of for parents to abuse pregnant teenagers, or kick them out of the house, or, in extremely disturbing cases, for a father to have impregnated his own daughter. All of these laws hinder a woman’s right to decide what happens to her own body. Many people will counter these arguments by mentioning adoption as a viable alternative — and it is, for women who do not want to have a baby. But what about the women who don’t
want to be pregnant? There are plenty of women who do not want their bodies to suffer the sometimes agonizing symptoms of pregnancy, and I, for one, can’t blame them for that. More importantly, though, these laws infantilize women. A law mandating that a doctor gives women false information is basically telling women that they are not smart enough to research for themselves what will happen to their bodies. A law requiring a 24-hour waiting period between counseling and an abortion tells women that they can’t possibly have thought this over enough. I can’t speak for all women. I know there are plenty of women who disagree with me. But I find it insulting that some politician in an office thinks he or she knows what’s better for my own body than I do. Laws outlawing abortion
do not make sense, and they do not save lives. Abortion is still going to happen, legal or not. Rich women will still fly to Canada or another country with legalized abortions. Poor women will still scrimp and save, just to be mutilated with a coat hanger. Even poorer women will still end up with children they do not want or can’t afford. And women will still die. In 1965, illegal abortions accounted for just under 200 deaths. In 1995, that number was less than 50. Making laws against abortion does not save lives, it does not protect the unborn, it is not good for women. It tells women that they cannot make decisions about their own bodily autonomy. This January, think about your own right to decide, and think about what you can do to make that right more accessible to others.

Meet Batman’s new enemies No name is too big for Christopher Nolan. Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle in Nolan’s third Batman flick, “The Dark Knight Rises,” set for release July 20, 2012. Tom Hardy, who has long been confirmed to be in the film, will play the villainous Bane. Though the announcement answers a few key questions about the film, it raises others. Interestingly, the press release from Warner Bros. makes no mention Alex Antonetz of Catwoman, Selina Kyle’s alter ego. antonetz.3@osu.edu Will we even see Catwoman? If so, how much will we see? Catwoman straddled the line between friend and foe in the comics; what treatment will Nolan & Co. give her in this flick? The casting of Hathaway might be a bit of a head-scratcher at first, but remember a few years back when some guy, also with little action experience, was cast to be Joker? I think Heath Ledger ended up doing pretty well with the gig. Then there’s Bane, one of the lesser-known Batman villains. In the comics, Bane develops superhuman strength — a quality not really seen in Nolan’s

Bat-universe yet — after a series of medical experiments conducted on him with the drug Venom. Bane sporadically worked with Batman to take town drug lords, though his claim to fame is severing Batman’s spinal cord, forcing him to retire. It’s hard to see the latter panning out in the film, though it would provide a shocking end to Nolan’s Batman trilogy. It should come as no surprise for those following the development of this film that this casting announcement all but puts to bed rumors that The Riddler would be in the film. Why attempt to try and top what Ledger did as Joker in “The Dark Knight?” Ledger set the bar so high there’s no use attempting to try and reach it. Regardless of what routes Nolan takes his characters, the man deserves three thumbs up for his casting. His last few films have been stacked, and this one, so far, is no different. Add Hathaway and the up-and-coming Hardy to a roster already consisting of Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine, and you end up with a bill the Yankees would be jealous of. And we’re not done yet. There are still rumors circulating the Internet about other roles. Eva Green, Naomi Watts, Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel and Gemma Arterton are all rumored to be up for roles, possibly including that of Talia al Ghul, daughter of the fallen Ra’s al Ghul from “Batman Begins,” and love interest Vicki Vale. Nolan is a secretive director, so we shouldn’t anticipate answers to some of these story questions any time soon, barring any sort of major leak. But what we do know is that Nolan is raking in A-listers, and factor in that he’s also a pretty decent filmmaker, it shouldn’t be too much to expect “The Dark Knight Rises” to be anything but a rousing final chapter in his incredibly successful Batman series.

T he band T okyo Police Club is scheduled to play at the Newport Music Hall Sunday night.
Tokyo Police Club’s latest album was released seven months ago, but that isn’t stopping the Canadian indie-pop band from starting on another tour, one that will stop through Columbus this weekend. After the release of the band’s sophomore album “Champ” in June 2010, the guys toured relentlessly in support of the record through December. The group then took a small break afterwards. “We had a month off,” said Graham Wright, keyboardist for the band. “It was the longest time we’ve had off in a while.” Though the break might have been well deserved, the band is happy to be back on the road. “It felt great to be back on stage,” Wright said of their first concert of this tour. “Like we were let loose after a month off.” The band originally formed while the members were still in school. “We were friends in school and all sort of interested in music,” Wright said. “And who doesn’t want to be in a band? Eventually we ended up deciding to do it full time.”
The bandmates pushed to become a full-time band after landing their first record deal, Wright said. “We talked to Paper Bag Records and they wanted to work with us, and that was all we need to quit school and work and go all in,” he said. Once the band decided to go “all in” it released its first EP, “A Lesson in Crime,” with Paper Bag Records in 2006. The band later released another EP, “Smith,” in 2007 on the same label. Even though “Smith” is one of the band’s older and lesser-known records, some of the tracks off it are a hit with Brian Whitlinger, a thirdyear in art. “Their song ‘Be Good’ is one of my favorite songs,” Whitlinger said. In 2008, the band signed with Saddle Creek Records and released its first full-length album, “Elephant Shell.” While the guys were still mixing the tracks to “Elephant Shell,” they worked on new material for their next album. “The earliest song was written before first album was finished being mixed,” Wright said. After releasing and touring for its freshman album, the band decided to move to a new label, Mom + Pop Records, to release its next record.

Van Etten quietly building up both fans and acclaim R yan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Instances in which a musician falls into sudden fame and fortune are rare. Many artists need to hold down a second job to make ends meet when they aren’t touring. For singer/songwriter Sharon Van Etten, who is playing at the Wexner Center on Friday, that job was with her record label, Ba Da Bing Records. Van Etten began as an intern with the New York City label in 2007. Label owner Ben Goldberg promoted her after a few months, and told the Village Voice that she was a great employee, if a little shy. So shy in fact, that she failed to tell him what her career goals were. “I was too shy to tell them I made music,” she said with a laugh. Van Etten’s tentative nature stemmed partly from her days in Tennessee before moving to New York. Van Etten’s then-boyfriend, whom she said was a touring musician himself, didn’t put much stock in her writing. Because of his complaints that the music made their relationship too public, she would play small shows, and only when he was on tour. Six years later, Van Etten said she thinks she’s breaking out of her shell, especially on her newest album, “epic.” “I felt the songs were a lot more confident,” she said of the album, on which she included a band and electric instrumentation, unlike on
her debut “Because I Was in Love.” “I got a bunch of friends together, and we put the album together.” Wexner Center director of performing arts Chuck Helm called it her “breakout record” and said she was “one of the most talented artists to emerge in the last year.” He said her style of music has been in vogue at a national level and at the Wexner Center. “There have been a lot of singer/songwriters performing at the Wexner Center in recent years,” he said, listing examples with which he compared Van Etten, “Bon Iver, Joanna Newsom, Fleet Foxes.” Van Etten said her move to New York from Tennesee was interesting, but it has had its biggest effect on her approach to music. “Living in the city gave me confidence,” she said. “My songs are getting a lot more aggressive.” Aggressive isn’t the only thing her songs are getting. Pitchfork, NPR and other prominent music media sites are giving Van Etten critical applause for her last two records. With the accolades come more glamorous gigs as well. Van Etten’s Friday show at the Wexner Center will be her second stop in Columbus. The first was what Van Etten calls one of the “craziest shows” she has ever played. Van Etten was playing at a bar in the area (she couldn’t recall the name of the venue), but she remembered an elderly patron who had a passion for the “Spiderman” theme song. “There was an older guy, I think he had mental problems. He was a

Canadian band tries out a new record label The choice to switch record labels was based on the ever-changing music business, Wright said. “In music things are changing so much and people are scrambling to figure out what the new model will be,” he said. “Mom + Pop had an interesting and unique model that was ideally the best of both worlds between an indie and major label. It’s not being run by accountants, but there are more resources than indie labels.” The product of that switch and a year’s worth of work was the band’s most recent record, “Champ.”
Aside from a label switch, the biggest difference between the band’s first and second albums is the process by which they were created, Wright said. “We gave ourselves a lot more time and space to work on (‘Champ’),” he said. “I think it’s a lot more natural and the process was more laid back.” The most difficult part of the process with “Champ” might have been coming up with a name for the new album. “We flipped through dictionaries and picked words at random,” Wright said. “We were kind of desperate.” Even though the band released its last album seven months ago, there aren’t any plans in motion yet for the next record. Wright said the group is always writing new songs, however. “We jammed and started playing a new song the

other day,” Wright said, “but it’s too early to really think about the next album.” Even though the band might not be recording another album just yet, they are having a good time being back on tour and coming to Columbus. “We played in Columbus a while ago and it was bonkers, so I’m definitely excited to come back,” Wright said. Whitlinger said he was “pumped” for Tokyo Police Club to return to Columbus this weekend. The band will be playing Sunday at the Newport Music Hall with co-headliner Two Door Cinema Club.

NICK OTTE Senior Lantern reporter otte.28@osu.edu When Ohio State played at Iowa on Jan. 4, the Hawkeyes proved a much tougher test for the
Buckeyes than expected. OSU trailed at halftime of that game before escaping with just a five-point win. The second time around, however, was much less dramatic. Led by senior David Lighty and 40 minutes of stifling defense, No. 1 OSU (19-0, 6-0 Big Ten) routed Iowa, 70-48, Wednesday. “It was our game plan to come in and play defense for 40 minutes,” Lighty said. “It’s something that we haven’t been doing lately and it’s something that we’ve been keying on. “This week in practice it was just preparing to play real Ohio State defense and I think we came out and did it today.” Lighty finished the game with 18 points and five rebounds and became just the third player in OSU history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds
and 300 assists in his career. The only two other Buckeyes to accomplish the feat were Jim Jackson and Evan Turner. The first half began with senior Dallas Lauderdale scoring seven of the Buckeyes’ first 12 points. Lauderdale, who has struggled since the start of conference play nearly three weeks ago, hadn’t scored more than six points against any Big Ten team this season and had been held scoreless twice in the last five games before scoring nine points Wednesday. Lauderdale put in two dunks to go along with a three-point play in the first six minutes, giving OSU an early 12-4 lead. Although Lauderdale picked up

The likely answer to both questions is no. The truth is, time passed John Havlicek long ago. He was underappreciated during his career, and his name has fallen through the cracks of history, eventually finding a home in the world of forgotten yesterdays. Perhaps it was meant to be this way. With a tireless work ethic that reflected the blue-collar town he’s from, Havlicek was an unassuming star who put on his hard hat and quietly went to work, day in and day out.

Buckeyes bypass draft, hold true to pledge ZACK MEISEL Editor-in-chief meisel.14@osu.edu Junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor and his suspended cohort will officially return for their senior seasons, holding up their end of the agreement they forged with coach Jim Tressel before the Sugar Bowl. The NFL released its list Wednesday of juniors who declared early for the league’s April draft. No Buckeyes appeared on the list. Tressel required Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas to pledge to return for the 2011 season before granting the players permission to travel with the team to New Orleans for the Jan. 4 bowl game. “I’m really pleased with the young men and how they have fought through it and stayed true to form,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told The Lantern on Wednesday. “They’ve learned a lot and will continue to learn a lot.” The NCAA announced Dec. 23 the suspensions of the five juniors for the first five games of the 2011 campaign after learning the athletes sold apparel and memorabilia to the owner of a Columbus tattoo parlor in 2009. Freshman reserve linebacker Jordan Whiting earned a one-game ban. All six players must repay the value of the benefits received for the gear and discounted tattoos. Each of the five juniors vowed to uphold his end of the bargain, but without a binding agreement several preferred not to speculate what the others would actually do. “Everybody’s different from the situation that happened. Everyone comes from different places; everyone’s financially different and economically different,” Thomas said following the Sugar Bowl.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor looks for a receiver in OSU’s 31-26 win against Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4. “You can never judge. That’s something that this process with the NCAA and the suspension has taught me.” Junior center Michael Brewster, widely considered a potential first- or second-round draft pick, will also return for his senior season. In all, a record 56 players applied for early entry for the draft, seven from the Big Ten. Wisconsin lost running back John Clay and defensive end J.J. Watt. Illinois lost running back Mikel Leshoure, who finished second in the conference with 1,697 rushing yards, linebacker Martez Wilson and defensive tackle Corey Liuget. Iowa defensive back Tyler Sash and Indiana’s Tandon Doss, who led the Big Ten in all-purpose yards (rushing, receiving and return yards combined) also bolted for the NFL.
Big man on campus Pryor’s suspension leaves the Buckeyes with a vacant quarterback position for the first five games of the 2011 season. Joe Bauserman, who will be a redshirt senior, and Ken Guiton, who will enter his redshirt sophomore season, are expected to vie for the starting gig. Freshman Braxton Miller, ranked by most recruiting outlets as the nation’s No. 1 or No. 2 incoming quarterback, could also factor in. Miller enrolled early at OSU, starting classes with the rest of the student population Jan. 3. The Buckeyes can only hope it won’t take as long for him to find his way onto the football field as it does for him to find the location of his new classes. Andy Vance contributed to this story.
Having won the past six Big Ten regular season titles, the No. 25 Ohio State women’s basketball team (11-6, 2-3) isn’t used to facing adversity. Coach Jim Foster, however, is no stranger to it. In fact, he considers it somewhat of an ally. “I hate going through this. I hate it. But I also like part of it,” Foster said. “You get to measure yourself; you get to measure your friends; you get to measure your character.” After starting this season with seven straight wins, the Buckeyes hit a midseason skid at the end of their non-conference schedule and at the start of the Big Ten season. They lost six of their next nine games before beating then-No. 9 Michigan State (16-2, 4-1), 67-53, on Sunday. Foster cited experiences at his previous coaching jobs at St. Joseph’s (Pa.) and Vanderbilt as examples of times in which his teams have experienced rain before seeing sunshine. “My 1989-90 St. Joe team had a problem and had to work it out and did,” Foster said. “The last team I had at Vanderbilt lost five in a row in the SEC and went on to play Notre Dame in the Elite Eight game to go to the Final Four.” After OSU’s win against MSU on Sunday, Foster said he saw a quality in his team that it needed to acquire in order to bounce back like his previous teams did: toughness. “Players are starting to realize what they can do to be tougher,” Foster said. “Toughness is

Buckeyes’ early lead fuels 22-point victory his second foul with 10 minutes remaining in the half, coach Thad Matta said he was pleased with the way his starting center played on both ends of the floor. “I thought he was good,” Matta said. “He was active on the glass and picked up a couple fouls there in the first half, but that’s the level we need him at.” Early on in conference play, the Buckeyes had made a habit of getting big leads, only to squander them away down the stretch. In the second half against the Hawkeyes, however, OSU did no such thing. The Buckeyes led by as many as 23 before completing the 22-point victory, holding the Hawkeyes to their lowest point total of the season. “When we feel good about our defense, we’re a great team and it’s going to be even harder to beat us,” Lighty said. “We have so many weapons offensively, and when we tie our defense with that there’s really not too many holes that we have in our game.” Junior William Buford scored 15 points, and freshman Jared Sullinger scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Freshman Aaron Craft, who scored a careerhigh 19 points in the Buckeyes’ last game, scored just three points, but his defense suffocated the Hawkeyes all night. His seven steals were a tie for second most in a game in OSU history and the most for a freshman. “That’s a team stat,” Craft said. “Everyone is in the gaps, putting pressure on the ball and just putting indecision in the ball-handler’s mind. I just happened to get the stat tonight.” The Buckeyes’ 19-0 start is the best of any OSU team under Matta, and the school’s best since the 1961-62 Buckeyes began the season 22-0. OSU’s next matchup will be against the No. 23 Fighting Illini at noon Saturday in Champaign, Ill.

Guard Tayler Hill looks down the court in OSU’s 95-84 win against Oklahoma on Dec. 5.
Challenge from 1B
Buckeyes need accountability to win conference games not being more physical. Toughness is: Do you grab rebounds with two hands? Toughness is: Can you execute offense under duress? Toughness is walking to the foul line, needing to score from the foul line and scoring, not missing your shots.” Foster pointed out OSU guard Tayler Hill, who bounced back from scoring one point in a loss to Northwestern by scoring 17 points against MSU, as an example of a player getting tougher. “She wasn’t tough in Chicago,” Foster said. “She was real tough in Columbus. Real tough.” Hill said that aside from toughness, accountability would be key for the Buckeyes to return to their winning ways. “The hardest part is probably me
looking at myself and not pointing other fingers at my teammates because things go wrong,” Hill said. “But we came together.” Since a 1-for-13 shooting performance against Michigan on Dec. 30, OSU guard Samantha Prahalis has bounced back with a scoring average of 16.6 points in the Buckeyes’ last five games. Prahalis echoed Foster’s thoughts that dealing with the unfamiliarity of losing could make the team strong in the long run. “I hate being here, but I don’t mind it,” Prahalis said. “Either you’re going to fall or you’re going to scratch back up. I don’t mind the adversity.” Foster said the lessons that his team is learning now extend past life on the hardwood. “It’s not pull up your shorts and knock the other team’s socks off,” Foster said. “It’s the little detail things, just like every day life. The tough things that make you more happier and more successful.”

Havlicek from 1B
Skeptics were
John Havlicek
Ohio State University and Boston Celtics
unsure if Havlicek could make NBA career said Bob Ryan, former Celtics beat reporter for The Boston Globe and co-author of “Hondo: Celtic Man in Motion.” “There’s nobody today, no style that reminds me of John Havlicek.” Thirty-two years later, Havlicek’s name rarely escapes the mouths of OSU students. His hometown, Lansing, Ohio, has a population of about 500 people. His entire life was contained within a six-block radius. Though this eventually would work to Havlicek’s advantage, it bothered him that as a kid, his parents wouldn’t buy him a bicycle. “As a young boy, I never had a bicycle,” Havlicek said. “It was because we lived on a busy street, but all of my friends had one. So, when they would go from place to place, they’d ride their bikes and I would run.” That busy street was U.S. Route 40, and the Havliceks’ front door was about 12 feet from the highway. His elementary school was a block away from his house, and the church was across the street from the school. So, he ran. Everywhere. “Where I grew up, you played football, basketball and baseball,” Havlicek said. “Those were the three major sports that everyone played regardless.” That trend continued into high school, when Havlicek earned all-state honors in all three sports at Bridgeport High School. He visited OSU four times during his senior year, and three of those recruiting trips were football-related. Then-coach Woody Hayes wanted Havlicek to play for his football team. “I was from a small school, and I knew I wanted to play basketball. That was my preference,” Havlicek said. “I was tempted to try football, but I think things turned out best for me by just sticking with basketball.” For four years, Hayes kept an open locker and a clean jersey ready for Havlicek in case he changed his mind. Hayes also promised not to hassle Havlicek about his decision to play basketball and baseball at OSU instead of football, but that didn’t stop Hayes from ribbing him on occasion. “He once introduced me as ‘the best quarterback in the Big Ten, only he’s not playing,’” Havlicek said. OSU wanted Havlicek, but he wasn’t sure whether he belonged in the Big Ten. Lee Caryer, an OSU basketball historian and author of the book “Golden Age of Ohio State Basketball,” said Havlicek lacked self-confidence. “He didn’t think he was good enough. He was so impressed with (Jerry) Lucas, and he felt like he wasn’t as good as Lucas,” Caryer said. “That’s the kind of person he is. He was the last person to think he was something special.” Lucas was Ohio’s prodigal son at the time. A superstar at Middletown High School, he had no idea who Havlicek was when they met during their senior years. “I had never heard of him, really. He was in a different part of the state,” Lucas said. “The first time I met him was at the North-South All-Star Game for Ohio high school basketball players. John and I were on the same team. “We won that game pretty handedly,” he added, laughing. Lucas and Buckeye recruit Mel Nowell convinced Havlicek to follow them and play for OSU. Havlicek accepted and helped to form a recruiting class that would rival any OSU class. In 1959, the Buckeye basketball program had a freshman team, but the team could only practice against the varsity and play against the junior varsity squad before varsity games. The team didn’t travel or play a game against any other college. However, largely because of Lucas’ star power, fans packed St. John Arena for the freshmen scrimmages and left before the varsity games began. “We regularly beat the varsity in practice, and there were actually more fans that came to the freshman games than they did to the varsity games, unfortunately,” Lucas said. “There was a tremendous amount of interest in our team throughout the state.” The OSU basketball program was loaded with offensive firepower. “I would argue to this day that Lucas was one of the top five college players of all time,” Ryan said. “And Havlicek was Robin to his Batman at OSU.” Lucas, Nowell, Larry Siegfried, Joe Roberts and Bobby Knight could score in a variety of ways. Havlicek determined it would be in his best interest to make an impact on the other end of the floor. “I figured if everyone gets their (high school) average, we’re going to score 150 points a game, which wasn’t going to happen,” Havlicek said. “The best way for me to get into the lineup was to excel on defense. That’s what I dedicated myself to, and that’s what I was known as when I was a collegiate player.” Havlicek’s scoring increased in each subsequent season he donned scarlet and gray, but his defensive efforts were becoming the stuff of urban legend. It wasn’t uncommon for players from other schools to brag to the media when they scored in the double digits on a night when Havlicek was guarding them. It didn’t happen often. “He was the first man down the court on offense, but he was always the last player to leave on defense,” Caryer said. “He just got there faster.” The Buckeyes only lost six games over the course of three seasons at the varsity level. They are also responsible for the only National Championship win in OSU basketball history, which they earned in 1960. The late Fred Taylor coached the team to a near-perfect first half of basketball against California. It made 15 of its first 16 shots en route to a lopsided 75-55 victory. When his collegiate basketball career came to an end, Havlicek was selected in the 1962 draft in both the NBA and the NFL. Despite Havlicek not having played football for more than four years, iconic Cleveland Browns coach Paul Brown drafted him in the seventh round. Havlicek wasn’t sure if he wanted to play professional football, but he reported to camp anyway. “He went to the Browns, which was one of the NFL powers at that time,” Caryer said. “They ran the 40-yard dash, and Jim Brown and Bobby Mitchell were the only guys in camp that were faster than

Havlicek.” The Browns wanted him to play wide receiver. Havlicek had great hands, but he struggled with blocking. He was the last player cut. In his autobiography, Havlicek said the Browns contacted him for the next five years, gauging his interest in a return to the NFL. Havlicek had a back-up plan. He was drafted No. 7 overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1962 NBA draft. “I was going to try and play both. But the intuition of the good Lord had me in his good standing by cutting me and saying that, ‘I think you belong in basketball not football,’” Havlicek said. The Celtics had just won their fifth championship when Havlicek arrived at training camp. Their roster was a checklist of legends, including coach Red Auerbach and center Bill Russell. Despite a solid collegiate career in which Havlicek averaged 14.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game for the Buckeyes, a familiar trend was occurring. Some doubted he could play professional basketball, and others still had no idea who he was. “When he was drafted first by the Boston Celtics, I had sports writers, even some from Columbus, saying, ‘Do you think he can make it?’” Lucas said. “And I said, ‘What have you been watching for the last three years? I mean, if he can’t make it, nobody can.’” Tommy Heinsohn, who was Havlicek’s teammate on the Celtics for four years before eventually taking over as coach, said the Celtics were completely unaware of what he could accomplish on the court. “We didn’t know anything about him, other than he was on a very good Ohio State team,” Heinsohn said. “And we very quickly found out that he was a terrific athlete.” Because of his unrelenting cardio, Havlicek would run his defender into the ground. He never stopped running. Thanks to an abnormally large set of lungs and a childhood devoted to running, nobody could keep up with him for an entire game. “When I coached him, I noticed that his endurance and style of play was something that nobody else had been able to do,” Heinsohn said. “His energy, endurance and athleticism helped us win a lot of games.” The role of the sixth man on an NBA team is a thankless one. These players are generally regarded as individuals who can light it up on offense, but lack the defensive chops to be a starter. Havlicek wore the sixth man tag like a badge of honor, never once letting it bother him that he wasn’t a starter. “I prided myself on my ability to come off of the bench and change the tempo of the game, both offensively and defensively,” Havlicek said. “I figured that nobody could name all of the players who started in the NBA at that time. But if I could become the best sixth man in the league, everyone would know who I was.” In a professional career spanning 16 seasons, Havlicek won eight NBA championships, the thirdmost in league history. His first and eighth championships were won with a completely different roster. “There is no argument that he wasn’t the greatest sixth man in NBA history,” Ryan said. “He was an absolutely amazing, astonishing player.” Havlicek played in the shadow of Russell in Boston, much like he had in the shadow of Lucas at OSU. But his numbers don’t lie. Havlicek is the Celtics’ all-time leading scorer and ranks 12th overall in points scored, with 26,395. He rarely got hurt, playing 46,471 total minutes, good for eighth of all time. He appeared in 13 All-Star games, and was a constant fixture on both the All-NBA teams and All-Defensive teams. “He got to the point where he loved to shoot,” Lucas said. “He told me later in his professional career that he never saw a shot he didn’t like.” While transforming into an offensive dynamo, Havlicek developed an affinity for crunch-time situations. When the Celtics needed a clutch play, they turned to Hondo. The most famous play in Celtics history, and most famous radio call in NBA history, took place during the 1965 NBA Finals. The Celtics had a one-point lead in the seventh and final game of the series. Their opponents, the Philadelphia 76ers, were inbounding the ball under their own basket with four seconds remaining. Philadelphia’s Hal Greer tried to pass the ball in to one of his teammates, but Havlicek deflected the ball, sealing the victory and an NBA championship. Johnny Most, calling the game on a Boston radio station, screamed, “Havlicek stole the ball! It’s all over!” Because of Most’s broadcast, the final play became the stuff of legends in Boston. Most’s entire victory call lasted just more than a minute, and was distributed as a record in Boston by Fleetwood Records. It’s still played today during sports broadcasts and countdown shows. “(Havlicek) was a tremendous leader and a go-to guy at the end of ball games,” Heinsohn said, “and it’s hard to find guys that are willing to accept that responsibility.” In his final professional contest, Havlicek scored 29 points. Before the game began, a sold-out crowd in the Boston Garden stood up and applauded Havlicek for a remarkable career. The ovation lasted eight and a half minutes. Brent Musburger, who was calling the broadcast with Keith Erickson, said, “It’s possible that we won’t be able to play this game the way (the fans are) going in the Boston Garden. But why not? How often does an institution retire?” The fans refused to take a seat, showering

Havlicek with the respect and admiration he’d been so deserving of throughout his career. It had only taken 38 years to get it. Ryan said Havlicek “absolutely, positively could have kept playing.” “He was running all over the floor for layups,” Ryan said. “It was an incredible, symbolic, full-circle ending to his career.” Thirty-two years later, Havlicek shuttles between homes in Weston, Mass., Cape Cod, Mass., and Florida. Short of an occasional visit to a Celtics’ practice session, he has distanced himself from the game of basketball. He occupies his time by hunting, fishing and playing golf. That, above all else, likely is the reason why few at OSU ever speak of Havlicek. Still, those individuals fortunate enough to see
him play never will forget about him. One of his most glowing reviews came from a longtime rival, both in college and at the professional level: Jerry West. “Superstar is a bad word,” West told Sports Illustrated. “In our league, people look at players, watch them dribble between their legs, watch them make spectacular plays, and they say, ‘There’s a superstar.’ Well, John Havlicek is a superstar, and most of the others are figments of writers’ imaginations.”
