History repeating itself Part-time students tend to take longer to graduate with freezing temps ALEX DRUMMER Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu

People walk across a snowy Oval Jan. 21. Temperatures are expected to fall as low as 10 degrees Jan. 22.

MATT HOMAN Lantern reporter homan.94@osu.edu With temperatures forecasted to fall as low as minus 2 in Columbus this week, some climatologists are looking back in time to see what weather might be ahead.

Two weeks ago, Ohio State called off classes Jan. 6 and 7 because of extreme weather conditions as temperatures fell to minus 7, according to Weather Underground.

“Some people say (the weather was) coldest since 1994 but I think this was worse than ‘94 … just because the winds were so strong. It was simply dangerous to be outside,” said Jeff Rogers, state climatologist and professor in the OSU Department of Geography, Jan. 10.

OSU’s Columbus campus was closed Jan. 19, 1994, because of “extreme cold and snow combined,” Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said in an email.

Rogers said extreme temperatures like those experienced in early January are a result of bitter cold air from the north and strong winds that sweep across the level surface of Ohio.

“It was just painful to have your face exposed to the wind for even a few seconds,” Rogers said. Similar periods of bitter cold have been known to last weeks or months, but as of Friday, temperatures hadn’t been particularly out of the ordinary, he said.

“So far (this year) it’s balanced out to about normal. We had a few abnormally warm days in December, a couple days with extreme lows … followed by temperatures in the 50s, so compared to other years,

Part-time student Chelsea Phelps is planning to graduate in the next year or two, but with a child on the way and problems scheduling classes around her jobs, she isn’t sure she’ll be able to do it.

Phelps, a part-time fourth-year student at Ohio State’s Marion campus, is studying social work and she chose to attend school part-time for one main reason.

“I became a part-time student due to financial aid problems, and since I’m paying out of pocket, I could only maintain parttime,” Phelps, 22, said.

This is Phelp’s first year as a part-time student, and she said scheduling classes last semester was particularly difficult.

“Last semester I was living in Upper Sandusky (about 22 miles from OSU-Marion), and I was working third-shift, so it was hard finding classes that would allow me to sleep after work or give me enough time to get things done before work,” Phelps said.

OSU had 5,300 part-time undergraduate students across all of its campuses enrolled during Fall Semester 2013, and according to a recent study by the National Student Clearinghouse, that demographic of students is nationally the least likely group to graduate within six years.

The study, released in December, looked at more than 2.3 million first-time students enrolled in both two- and four-year undergraduate institutions in fall 2007 and found that among those students, 21.9 percent of part-time students completed their degrees as 77.7 percent of full-time students completed theirs.

Information was not immediately available regarding the graduation rates of part-time students at OSU, university spokesman Gary Lewis said in an email. “(That information) would take a significant amount of time to research and process the data,” Lewis said.

There is, however, information about the amount of credit hours those students are enrolled in.

To be considered part-time, students must be taking less than 12 credit hours. On average, part-time students at OSU took 6.46 credit hours during Fall Semester, according to OSU’s 15th Day Enrollment Report.

The report looks at enrollment for OSU’s Columbus campus and the university as a whole, based on the enrollment on the 15th day of the term, according to the Enrollment Services website.

In 2003, there were nearly 3,000 parttime undergraduate students enrolled across OSU’s campuses, according to a 10-year enrollment report.

In the same time frame, total enrollment of part-time and full-time students at all campuses has increased by about 5,700 students.

While Phelps took six credits hours last semester, this semester she’s taking three.

“I only need major courses, and my plan of attack is to stay focused and not to fall behind again,” she said.

Kaitlyn Robis, a third-year in anthropology and zoology at OSU’s Columbus campus who is enrolled as a part-time student for the first time this semester, said she plans to graduate in either spring or fall 2015.

Robis also noted problems with financial

Record number of U.S. Congress members millionaires NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu For the first time, more than half of the U.S. Congress is made up of millionaires.

According to personal financial disclosures filed last year by members of Congress, obtained by the Center for Responsive Politics, at least 268 Congress members had a net worth of at least $1 million in 2012. There are currently 534 members of Congress, and of the 530 in Congress as of the filing deadline in May, their exact median net worth came out to be $1,008,767.

A median, the exact midpoint of a group of data, is different from an average. In this case, it represents the middle value of the assets of U.S. congressmen and women lined up from the least to the greatest in value.

The data, according to the Center for Responsive Politics website, puts the percentage of millionaires in Congress at more than 50 percent. According to the report, this is the first time a majority of Congress is composed of millionaires.

Some Ohio State students are worried about how the gap between the wealth of the average voter and the average congressman might impact economic policy.

According to the Credit Suisse 2013 Global Wealth Report, the median wealth for an adult in the U.S. is about $45,000.

“With so many millionaires, it might make it a lot easier for lower income people to be forgotten,” said Collin Callahan, a second-year in industrial and systems engineering.

According to a recent Gallup Poll, 67 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with wealth and income distribution, though the question was regarding wealth in America in general, not specifically in Congress.

Seventy-five percent of the Democrats surveyed and 54 percent of the Republicans surveyed reported they were either “somewhat” or “very” dissatisfied.

Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp said the increasing wealth of members of Congress is not inherently bad.

“The American political system is heavily reliant on money, and look, I don’t care where you come from or what your background is (financially), as long as you can represent your constituents,” said Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs. “But when the people elected end up being out of touch (with the people they represent), that’s when I think there’s a problem.”

Other OSU students said they weren’t concerned with high net worth of congressional members.

Wednesday January 22, 2014

In 2012, more than half of congressmen and women had an average net worth of at least $1M. Of the 530 members of Congress in office as of the May filing deadline, their median net worth was $1,008,767.

“I just hope (members of Congress) aren’t taking being selfish when looking at economic policy. They do have to listen to the people, and if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be re-elected — that’s how a democracy is supposed to work,” said Cassie Geiger, a fourth-year in international studies and French.

Geiger said, though, since the data is based on a median, there can be a lot of variation in specific representatives.

Katie Harris, a first-year in public affairs who is a Democrat, said she was more concerned with how some Congress members’ high net worths would affect their opinions.

“It seems like that would make it hard to represent your constituents if you can’t relate to them financially,” Harris said. “I don’t think the large amount of income is the reason for high incumbency, it helps, but I think a lot of it comes from the perks of people knowing your name and the influence gained from being in Congress.”

According to the Center for Responsive Politic’s reports based on disclosures from Congress members, the most financially troubled man on Capitol Hill is Republican Rep. David Valadao of California whose net worth came in at negative $12.17 million because of loans for his family dairy farm. Meanwhile, the richest member of Congress according to the 2012 filings is Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California, who had an average net worth of $464 million and made his money in the car alarm business.

Among those Congress members representing Ohio, Republican Sen. Rob Portman had an average net worth of more than $13.9 million, while Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown had an average net worth of about $639,000 and Democrat congresswoman Joyce Beatty

aid as her reason for becoming a part-time student, but said she wants to go back to fulltime next fall.

In the meantime, Robis said she’s doing what she can to stay on track to graduate.

“I will still be taking May semester classes (in Columbus) and (summer) classes at Stone Lab, so it’s more like spreading out credit hours,” she said.

Maymester was developed as a result of OSU’s conversion to semesters in 2012. The four-week long May Session was combined with a seven-week long Summer Session to comprise Summer Term. OSU offered students up to three free credit hours during May Session to encourage enrollment during the 2013 term, and officials have said the university will do the same for 2014.

Students who enrolled in Maymester were still responsible for paying student fees, including Central Ohio Transit Authority and activity fees.

had an average net worth of more than $2.64 million.

Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner had a net worth of about $39.2 million.

Shanae Brown, communications and technology director for OSU College Republicans, wasn’t concerned about the majority of Congress being millionaires either.

“They represent us nationally, make our laws and have very stressful jobs. In a society that pays athletes and entertainers millions upon millions of dollars a year, I don’t see an issue with what we pay our congressional representatives for what they do. That being said, most of their millions are made elsewhere — outside of Congress,” Brown, a fifth-year in neuroscience and philosophy, said in an email.

Representatives for College Democrats did not respond to multiple emails requesting comment.

Brown also said there is a misunderstanding the public sometimes has when it comes to the wealth of members of Congress.

“I think the general public has a large misconception towards politicians as these huge fat cats that drive expensive cars and wear Armani suits and watches — which is not at all the case. While most are moderately wealthy, there are still members of Congress who live modestly,” Brown said.

Stepp said people shouldn’t be concerned with the wealth breakdown and how it could affect economic policy.

“Republicans stereotypically are fighting for tax cuts on the wealthy, yet in the House they actually have a lower median net worth than Democrats,” Stepp said.

It has been a week since Ohio State formally announced a new addition to football coach Urban Meyer’s coaching staff, and another is imminent, according to multiple reports, social media accounts and the school’s own directory.

OSU officially named assistant head coach and defensive line coach Larry Johnson to Meyer’s staff Jan. 15. But the other new staff member, co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Chris Ash, has yet to be announced by the school as a coach.

Aside from when Ash will officially join Johnson as a member of the Buckeyes coaching staff is how much each new coach will be paid.

An OSU spokesman told The Lantern in a series of emails Tuesday that the Buckeyes have “only announced Larry Johnson as a member of the coaching staff.”

The spokesman also said the Department of Human Resources has yet to inform him of Johnson’s salary following multiple email requests

by The Lantern beginning Jan. 15.

The Lantern has been requesting information on both of the new coaches’ salaries since Johnson was announced by the school as a coach last week.

The Lantern staff requests for the salaries of new OSU employees after their hiring and is typically provided the information within 24 to 48 hours of submitting the request.

Though he has not yet officially been named an OSU coach, Ash has since changed the bio for his personal Twitter account, @CoachChrisAsh, to reflect his reported new position.

“Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach for The Ohio State University,” the bio reads, also including a URL address to the football page on the OSU athletic website, where he has yet to be listed.

campus New windows, equipment for gym-goers Columbus has ‘strong water system,’

able to prevent contamination REGINA BONFIGLIO Lantern reporter bonfiglio.20@osu.edu

MARK BATKE / For The Lantern

The bouldering wall that stood in JO South, pictured here in November, was torn down to make room for new cardio machines, lockers and a window over winter break.

KARLIE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.359@osu.edu Gym-goers heading to Jesse Owens South will now have access to more cardio equipment in the sunlight because of renovations made over winter break.

Changes include 15 new glass panel windows installed in the front of the building facing 11th Avenue and 15 new cardio machines.

Dave DeAngelo, senior associate director of facilities for Recreational Sports, said there was a need for cardio machines accessible by standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. “All the cardio equipment before was on the stage (risers in the gym) and not ADA accessible. We just needed some additional capacity,” DeAngelo said.

The ADA prohibits discrimination of the disabled by requiring equal opportunities to be provided for those with disabilities.

The new equipment is self-powered because of limits on the building’s electrical capacity, DeAngelo said.

“There’s no electric outlets (in the renovated area), and not a lot of capacity left coming into this

building. There’s still a lot of electric in the cardio stage area. Stuff we add going forward will be stuff that doesn’t need (electric) power,” DeAngelo said.

Power source was not the only consideration in the new equipment.

“We choose equipment in many different ways … we’re pretty exhaustive. We look at all the manufacturers and what we think the most popular pieces are,” DeAngelo said.

A bouldering wall was removed to make more space for the windows as well as for 48 new lockers, DeAngelo said.

“The windows make a tremendous improvement with the feel of the facility,” DeAngelo said. “We’ve been wanting to do that for a long time.”

The equipment additions cost about $47,200, the window installation around $38,000 and lockers $1,250 for a project total of about $86,500. Funding was provided by money set aside each year in the overall budget for facility improvement projects, DeAngelo said.

The renovations were completed on time and faced no setbacks.

Lindsay Krammes, a second-year in biology, said she is happy with the new source of light from the windows.

Panic shook West Virginia this month after a dangerous chemical tainted water supplies. The incident has caused some Ohioans to worry about the chemical spreading to the Buckeye State, however, Central Ohio water sources should be safe from contamination, authorities said.

Authorities learned of the chemical leak after West Virginia residents complained of a strange smell coming from the water supplies in their area drawn from the Elk River in early January.

Some Ohio State students were concerned the proximity of the Ohio River and the recent odor of Columbus water were linked to the West Virginia chemical spill.

Santoria Sawyer, a fourth-year in human development and family science, said she immediately thought of the West Virginia crisis when she drank water from a drinking fountain in the Ohio Union.

“I thought, ‘Oh gosh, I wonder if the water is contaminated here, too.’ I never would’ve thought that if I hadn’t heard about West Virginia,” she said.

The musty taste and odor of Columbus water, however, is not a result of the chemical spill. It is instead a result of an algal bloom in Hoover Reservoir and is non-toxic, city authorities said.

I thought, ‘Oh gosh, I wonder if the water is contaminated here too.’ I never would have thought that if I hadn’t heard about West Virginia.

Santoria Sawyer fourth-year in human development and family science Erin Strouse, spokeswoman for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, said in an email Columbus “doesn’t pull water from the Ohio River” where chemicals were expected to flowed downstream from the impacted West Virginia rivers.

Columbus is in a better position to prevent situations like the West Virginia water crisis, said Laura Young Mohr, spokeswoman for the city’s utilities department, because Columbus has incorporated extensive planning and evolved its water system processes in order to prepare for any future challenges.

The city uses surface water sources — including the Scioto River and Big Walnut Creek — and can access south Columbus well-fields.

“We don’t have all of our eggs in one basket, so to speak, on water supplies,” Mohr said.

Some professors encourage skim reading CHAHINAZ SEGHIRI Lantern reporter seghiri.1@osu.edu Though some Ohio State students think the amount of reading assignments they’re given per week is overwhelming, some professors insist that learning to read effectively is an important skill to have.

“When it comes to class discussions, it seems like (the professors) seem to focus on the details, so reading thoroughly would probably be better, but it’s hard to find the time to do that,” said Jill Ruby, a second-year in biomathematics.

While some students might feel burdened by the amount of readings given per week, some professors said it is important to learn how to fully read assigned articles before resorting to skimming through them.

“Every semester, I ask students how they feel about the course load and some students say the reading load was easy, and some students say the reading load was difficult, but I think it is a reasonable reading load,” said Jason Keiber, a graduate teaching associate and political science doctoral candidate.

Keiber, who teaches an international terrorism course, said he typically assigns his students about 50 to 75 pages a week.

“One of the values added in completing a whole piece, even if it’s difficult, is that you’re learning to read difficult pieces. So learning to read itself is a skill that continues to be developed in one’s life,” Keiber said.

For Cassidy Anderson, a second-year in photography and marketing, skimming through readings isn’t a major concern.

this winter has been pretty normal,” Rogers said Friday.

“Some winters are blocked, some winters have rapidly changing weather. This winter, we’re going to get both of them in one year.”

Rogers added, though, he thinks the weather will be worse than usual in the coming weeks.

“I think that we’re in line for colder than usual (temperatures) and snowier than usual weather for the next couple weeks,” he said.

Wednesday’s forecast predicted a high of 16 degrees and a low of 10, according to the Weather Channel.

Cold weather can pose a threat to the function of university facilities as well as student, faculty and staff safety. There were several water main breaks around campus after the temperatures fell, including one near Macquigg Laboratory and one in Pomerene Hall, leading to some roads covered with ice being closed, Komlanc said Jan. 10.

Ash is also listed on OSU’s public directory Find People as “Assistant Coach - Major Sports.” Ash’s working title is listed as “Assistant Coach - Football” in the directory.

Johnson, who is set to replace former OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel after Vrabel announced his intentions to join the NFL’s Houston Texans via Twitter Jan. 9, is known for his ability to recruit and mentor defensive linemen who eventually make the jump to the NFL. Meyer called Johnson an “outstanding addition” to the Buckeye coaching staff and said he has “great respect for (Johnson) as a family man, as a coach and mentor of young men and as a recruiter,” according to an OSU press release.

It appears Johnson has already been hot on the recruiting trail since being announced as a coach at OSU. According to his personal Twitter account, @ OSUrushmen1, Johnson’s first day working for the Buckeyes was Jan. 16.

“Great first day as a buckeye on the road !

Osurushmen1,” a tweet from the account read.

“When you’re working out here, it’s nice to have natural lighting. Now I don’t feel like I’m underground,” Krammes said.

Increased visibility of the inside of the gym was also a reason for installation of the windows.

“We liked the idea of people walking down 11th (Avenue) and seeing activity going on … We want people to say, ‘Hey, that looks really cool, I want to check it out,’” DeAngelo said.

The South Campus recreational facility currently averages about 1,500 guests per day, a number that has stayed consistent over the years, DeAngelo said.

Kyle Simokovich, a third-year in business, said the windows are an aesthetic improvement.

“It looks way more inviting. It’s great to see that there’s actually money being put toward something that makes the campus look better,” Simokovich said.

will be offered, so I’ll probably end up taking any leftover GECs,” she said.

Robis said she also works between 23 and 28 hours a week and is currently looking for a second job.

Despite complicated scheduling and outside commitments, Robis said she’s determined to work hard toward a better future.

“I feel like if I drop out of school to save up by working, then I’ll have trouble going back and getting started again, so it seems like a better idea, to me, to stay in school more consistently,” she said.

“Salt is pretty much ineffective at those temperatures, so (workers) had to … chip the ice away before the (roads) could be opened again,” Komlanc said about the break near Macquigg Laboratory Jan. 7, which led to the temporary closure of Woodruff Avenue.

Plumbing issues affected some off-campus students as well.

Fourth-year in sociology Emily Miller and her roommates were unable to use the toilet in their house on Frambes Avenue for about 24 hours Jan. 7 because of a frozen pipe. They adjusted the heat by plugging a small space heater in the bathroom until the plumbing thawed.

Miller said Tuesday she and her roommates are worried the same thing will happen again.

“If it gets as cold as it was the first week of classes, (frozen pipes) are bound to happen again. If not in our apartment, than others’ too,” she said. “Our landlord still hasn’t sent anyone out to check on our pipes, even though he told us he would. So hopefully it doesn’t happen again.”

Johnson, along with Meyer, was also in a photo posted to the social media site by OSU defensive line commit Dylan Thompson, @BRONCODE59, posted Monday evening.

According to the USA TODAY coaches database, Ash made a base salary of $550,000 this past season at Arkansas, including a “max bonus” of $45,833. Johnson’s salary while he was at Penn State was not available on the database, and the school did not respond to multiple requests by The Lantern for the figure.

In his second and final year at OSU, Ash’s predecessor, Everett Withers — who was announced as the new head football coach at James Madison University Dec. 20 — earned $585,000. Vrabel made $291,004.

Both coaches look to strengthen a defensive unit that has gone south since Meyer took over following the 2011 season, a year where the Buckeyes finished with the nation’s 19th best defense. The unit finished 34th in 2012 and 47th overall this past year.

OSU is set to kick off the 2014-15 season Aug. 30 against Navy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Some students said they are pleased with the new use of space inside.

Kevin Phillips, a fourth-year in animal sciences, said out of the six to seven days per week he goes to Jesse Owens South, he had only usually seen about four people on the bouldering wall each week.

“I think it’s great that they utilized the rock climbing area to put in cardio machines … Now there’s less of a wait for cardio (machines),” Phillips said.

Krammes said she is satisfied to see more cardio equipment as well.

“I like how they found a way to get more machines in the same amount of space,” Krammes said.

DeAngelo said any future renovations on the gym’s North Campus counterpart, Jesse Owens North, will depend on the new recreational facility set to open on North Campus after all of the current construction is complete.

A student highlights a textbook. Some professors recently have encouraged their students to skim read assignments.

Reading from 2A “The hardest part is getting over the hurdle of being distracted by other things,” Cassidy said.

Communication professor William Eveland said some complex articles assigned to students are better off being browsed through than thoroughly read.

“Often times the purpose of the readings is to show someone the forest, and if they try to read it closely to interpret every single individual sentence, they will be so overwhelmed they will miss the big picture, which is really important,” Eveland said.

Director of the OSU Dennis Learning Center Christopher Wolters said when given extended readings, undergraduate students can struggle with understanding what is important.

“It’s also part of the struggle and part of the learning process for students to tell the important stuff from the unimportant stuff, and that’s one of the skills professors hope students acquire in their domain,” Wolters said.

Wolters said the Dennis Learning Center, located at the Younkin Success Center on campus, provides academic workshops that help students learn skills such as reading in an efficient manner.

“We gear to helping undergraduates here improve their skills with things such as skimming strategies and reading strategies,” Wolters said.

Although he said he sometimes assigns an abundance of reading, Wolters said it is important for students to develop strategies in being able to understand and read through assignments.

“From an instructor’s perspective, there is so much I am excited about and so much I want (students) to learn,” Wolters said.

Depending on the assignment, Ruby said she reads about 200 pages per week, which takes about three to fours for her to complete.

“I feel like every professor wants their class to be the most important, but with us taking so many classes, it’s kind of hard for us to balance all the readings for every class,” Ruby said.

Keiber said the ability to learn to read assignments thoroughly is be a long-term skill that would be beneficial for students to learn.

“Reading is like any other skill. The more practice, the better you will get, (or) should I say, the better you will get at skimming,” Keiber said.

Water from 2A In addition, Columbus has three water plants (Hap Cremean, Dublin Road and Parsons Avenue) and the ability to redirect the water in the distribution system through valves if any particular source proves dangerous. The city also has permission from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to use Alum Creek in Delaware County and pump its water to Hoover Reservoir when needed, she said.

“Having the three different plants using three different sources makes us a very strong water system in terms of planning for any type of disruption that might occur,” Mohr said.

Unlike West Virginia American Water, the water company affected by the chemical spill, one of Columbus’ multiple plants does not use surface water at all, and instead depends on well-fields, Mohr said.

The Good Samaritan law might expand to underage drinkers seeking medical assistance for intoxicated friends under the newly proposed Ohio House Bill 392, which is set to hold its first proponent testimony hearing this week.

Ohio Rep. Michael Stinziano, D-Columbus, has proposed legislation with the help of the bill’s cosponsor, Ohio Rep. Cliff Rosenberger, R-Clarksville, that would protect underage drinkers who seek emergency help for others who are in need of medical assistance.

“The legislation is a bill that would allow Good Samaritans who recognize alcohol poisoning or a colleague that is risking a health scenario because of alcohol consumption not to be prosecuted if they too were underage drinking if they seek medical attention for their friend,” Stinziano said.

Ohio State’s Student Conduct already considers circumstances that would fall under the new House Bill 392 when reviewing cases, Office of Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said.

“The safety and security of our students are our primary priorities. We applaud efforts that encourage our campus community members to demonstrate care and concern for the health and well-being of others,” Isaacs said.

Steven Dearwester, a second-year in business administration, was at a party recently with a few of his friends when one of them began exhibiting signs of alcohol poisoning.

“He just wasn’t responding and in the end, we laid him down and just kind of watched him through the night,” Dearwester said. “It was scary.”

Dearwester and his friends, though, did not seek emergency assistance because they were underage, he said. “(The new bill) would be beneficial to students who are underage to be able to seek help and not face any backlash or consequences for it,” Dearwester said.

Although Columbus has not faced dangerous chemicals or had to notify the public of any risks, West Virginia officials were required to send out warnings to avoid drinking, cooking or washing with the water earlier this month.

The chemical crisis began Jan. 9 when residents of Kanawha County reported a strange odor in the air, according to multiple sources.

The chemical spill resulted from an overflow in the area around a 35,000-gallon tank containing chemicals used to clean coal. These chemicals then traveled through the soil to the nearby Elk River.

The leak occurred approximately a mile away from the West Virginia American Water plant.

Many individuals have criticized West Virginia’s public utilities emergency response plan. In Columbus, emergency response or contingency plans are a practiced part of city water providers, Mohr said.

that said it supported Ohio House Bill 392 that would “create an Under-21 Alcohol Good Samaritan policy across the state of Ohio.”

The policy would allow people under the legal age of consumption to contact emergency services if needed without the fear of repercussions or incrimination.

“This Good Samaritan policy will create an environment that encourages students to call for help and make safe and smart decisions. USG supports Good Samaritan policies for Ohio State’s campus and off-campus areas as well as at universities throughout the state of Ohio,” the USG statement read.

Statistics have shown that in states that lack the policy proposed in this bill, calls occur less frequently, Stinziano said.

“When there is awareness and a medical amnesty policy, individuals are two and a half times more likely to call because they no longer fear disciplinary action,” Stinziano said.

Molly Hagerty, managing director of Student Legal Services at OSU, said nearly half of the matters advised by Student Legal Services in 2012-13 were in some way alcohol-related.

People under the age of 21 are not permitted to buy or consume alcohol in Ohio and face a misdemeanor of the first degree if they violate that law, according to the Ohio Revised Code. A misdemeanor of the first degree can result in up to six months in jail and/or a fine between $500 and $1,000.

Hagerty said Student Legal Services supports the proposed legislation.

“We think that it is important in order to assist students, particularly those students who have made some unwise choices for themselves, to allow them to learn from those mistakes as opposed to watching someone who has overdosed be killed or otherwise harmed,” Hagerty said. “Our ultimate mission is to assist students in those matters that impede their academic success.”

Currently, 19 states, including Indiana, Kentucky and Florida, have laws in place that provide limited criminal immunity for the individuals seeking medical assistance for intoxicated friends, according to a release on Stinziano’s website.

“We maintain emergency contingency plans for different kinds of scenarios and our staff participates in practice drills on those plans periodically,” she said.

Mohr said, though, Columbus has not tested for the chemical that has affected the water of many West Virginians, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol — more commonly called MCHM — because “there is no known reason to.”

“It was noted to me that there are 85,000 industrial chemicals out there and it would be impossible to test for all of them. Ohio EPA sets the list of possible contaminants that are likely to be present in an area, with that one not being one of them,” she said.

Although MCHM is not expected to affect Ohioans, Strouse said, “the Ohio EPA is in communication with drinking water operators along the Ohio River, and we will continue to monitor the situation.”

Although Katie Connolly, a third-year in

environmental science, said she had not heard about the spill, she said she still trusts the safety of Columbus’ water overall.

“A lot of the classes I take talk about water safety, laws and regulations,” she said. “I really prefer city water over bottled water because city water is much more heavily regulated.”

For future safety, Columbus officials request residents take an active role in the safety of their water systems.

“If residents ever see something they suspect as a spill going into any local waterway, they should report it,” Mohr said.

Cities such as Columbus will continue to test water sources daily and use contingency plans to address potential sources of contamination, Strouse said.

“Thankfully, no impacts are anticipated to users of (Columbus) systems,” Strouse said.

Freshman forward Marc Loving (2) has his shot blocked during a game against Iowa Jan. 12 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 84-74.

Kane Anderson Lantern reporter anderson.1995@osu.edu A feeling of rejuvenation came over the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as the pitching staff of the Ohio State baseball team took the turf to begin practice.

After earning the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament last year, only to miss out on the NCAA Tournament, the team is looking to take care of some unfinished business.

Redshirt-junior pitcher and first baseman Josh Dezse, a third-team Louisville Slugger preseason All-American selection, said the team is aiming to get back in the spotlight this year.

“We didn’t have a bunch of little goals,” Dezse said.

“Our main goal is to go out and represent Ohio State in the National Tournament this year.”

The program has enjoyed a resurgence under Greg Beals, who was named head coach in June 2010. The Buckeyes’ record has increased each year under his leadership and, even after coming so close to winning the Big Ten last year, Beals said he expects they should be an improved club this season.

“Our goals, right now, are just to keep getting better.

This is a younger team, but a talented team,” Beals said.

“Our mentality is to win today.”

The youth he is referring to can be largely found in the pitching staff. The team lost all three members of its starting rotation from last season. Losing that many innings from the rotation could be worrisome to most teams, but pitching coach Mike Stafford didn’t seem bothered by it.

“We have a whole mess looking like they’re ready for some competition,” Stafford said.

Freshmen pitchers Zach Farmer, Travis Lakins,

Tanner Tully and Adam Niemeyer were specifically mentioned by Stafford as some of the young guns who are ready to bring some heat.

Junior catcher Aaron Gretz said he doesn’t think the players’ inexperience will be a problem at all.

“I think we’re going to have as good or an even better pitching staff than last year,” Gretz said. “Talentwise I think they’re right there to being one of the top in the nation.”

While the rotation will start out with some new faces, the bullpen brings some star power late into games, specifically in junior pitcher and closer Trace Dempsey.

Dempsey, who joins Dezse on the third team All-American list, finished last season with a Big Ten-best 17 saves. As long as the starters keep opposing offenses at bay and Dempsey continues to show an ability to come in and slam the door at the end of the game, opponents could have a very difficult time scoring runs this season.

The offense looks to put a lot of runs on the scoreboard at Bill Davis Stadium. Sophomore infielders Jacob Bosiokovic and Troy Kuhn, and junior outfielder Pat Porter, return after finishing in the top five in batting average last season. They also receive a boost from Dezse, who missed all of last season with a stress reaction in his back.

With the team set to begin play in just over three weeks, it is time to stop talking about goals and start chasing them.

“There’s no magical potion that you sprinkle on. It’s just good old blood, sweat and tears,” Beals said. “We have an expectation level … Ohio State has an expectation level of excellence. Combine the two of those and I think it broods for success.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to begin play in Port Charlotte, Fla., Feb. 14 against Connecticut as part of the Snowbird Classic.

If you combined one half of each of Ohio State’s two major athletic programs, you would have a team for the ages. The Buckeye football team’s offense and men’s basketball team’s defense are two of the most successful units in their respective sports.

The OSU football team finished the season with two consecutive losses — its first two in the Urban Meyer era — with a large amount of the blame falling on the Buckeyes’ defensive struggles.

Now the basketball team finds itself in a similar situation. Except the exact opposite.

While the football team’s defense was the weak point — allowing 34 points or more in each of their final three games — it is the basketball team’s offense that has been letting it down this year.

“I think as a team, we’ve probably shot more shots than I have since I’ve been here. Whether it’s over Christmas break and then before and after practices. As a collective team, we’ve shot more shots,” senior guard Aaron Craft said. “For some reason, we’re not playing with very much confidence and that shows when we get into games and we miss a shot or two and you don’t want to shoot the next one. You kind of look at one guy and say, ‘All right, you know he’s going to shoot the next three times down the floor.’ And that’s definitely not when we’re at our best.”

As the football team was making its return from the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl, the then-No. 3 OSU basketball team was preparing for its biggest game of the season against then-No. 5 Michigan State.

A failed comeback attempt against the Spartans and

three more losses later, and OSU sits on the precipice of its season spiraling out of control.

Craft said holding each other accountable for poor play is something his team needs to work to improve.

“It’s really easy with that type of team to just kind of expect everyone to get themselves going, expect everyone to kind of hold themselves accountable and maybe we’re not at that point yet. It takes a special team, special group of guys to be able to do that,” Craft said. “Probably the best teams that I’ve played on have always had guys that have held people accountable and looked at them and did what they needed to do to get other people going … Not calling guys out but letting them know that we need you to do this job, we need you to do this role and that’s going to help us win games, that’s going to help make us a better team. It’s different for everyone, it’s different for every team and we’re going to continue to figure it out.”

A big issue for OSU this season has been giving the ball away. The Buckeyes are turning the ball over an average of 11.5 times per game this season, something coach Thad Matta said needs to be fixed.

“Obviously, we’ve got to take better care of the basketball. We had 13 turnovers (against Minnesota), I think they had 12 steals,” Matta said. “I don’t (know) if I’ve ever had a game like that. But just taking care of it, being more sure, being more confident in what we’re doing I think is the answer for us.”

Junior center Amir Williams echoed his coach’s thoughts, saying confidence is something the team needs to improve if the Buckeyes want to get back to where they were at the beginning of the season.

“Maybe your first two shots, your first three shots don’t go in so you try to force the fourth one in or you

Sophomore guard Ameryst Alston (14) drives to the basket during a game against Iowa Jan. 19 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 81-74.

Despite having a new coaching staff and playing the hardest schedule in the country, the Ohio State women’s basketball team is three games above .500 on the year and has plenty to look forward to on the season.

The Buckeyes (12-9, 2-3) are led in scoring by sophomore guard Ameryst Alston, who is averaging 17 points per game and was a two-time Associated Press Ms. Basketball in the state of Ohio while at Canton McKinley High School.

OSU has also received key contributions this season from another sophomore guard, Cait Craft, who leads the team in 3-pointers.

Craft, who is averaging 8.8 points a game so far this season, said the OSU program has a very bright future.

“I do have a lot of confidence in the team, especially this year,” Craft said. “I have a lot confidence with the new coaching staff. Everyone is buying into their system which makes it a lot of fun.”

OSU coach Kevin McGuff is not only trying to change the culture of the program, but his attempts to bring in the nation’s best players are not going unnoticed. OSU’s 2014 recruiting class is ranked No. 7 in the country, according to ESPN. Not only has McGuff signed a top-10 recruiting class, he has also brought in two transfers from power conference schools, Georgetown and Duke.

Freshman guard Kianna Holland from Duke and freshman forward Shayla Cooper from Georgetown are set to join the team on the court after Fall Semester exams are finished.

Even with everything building toward the future, McGuff said he is still focused on the current season.

“I have not thought too much about next year,” McGuff said. “When I think about the future, it is just about creating a championship culture.”

Creating that culture could be made easier by the return of Alston and Craft to the lineup — both lead the team in average minutes per game — as well as redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion, who is set to return next year as a fifth-year senior.

Scullion, who leads the team in 3-point shooting percentage, said expectations are high going forward.

“I want us to make the (NCAA) tournament,” Scullion said about the current Buckeye team.

“I think coach McGuff has done a great job of changing the culture of this program and he has made it a winning program.”

The Buckeyes missed out on the NCAA tournament last season for the first time since the 2001-02 season, ultimately leading to the firing of former coach Jim Foster. OSU also finished tied for eighth in the Big Ten last season, tied for their worst finish in the conference since the 2000-01 season.

The Buckeyes are looking to further the winning culture this Thursday, as they are set to travel to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan (13-5, 4-1) at 7 p.m.

Experienced, not ‘one-and-done’ players best way to win dan HeSSLeR Senior Lantern reporter hessler.31@osu.edu a popular trend in men’s college basketball today is star freshmen, and along with them comes the hope their potential can bring a team to an elite playing level. ever since nBa commissioner david stern enforced “article X” in 2005, stating that any player entering the nBa draft must be, “at least 19 years of age during the calendar year in which the draft is held, and with respect to a player who is not an international player, at least one nBa season has elapsed since the player’s graduation from high school,” the way of the game has changed. with many “one and dones” becoming stars in the nBa, such as Kevin durant, Kevin Love, Kyrie irving, Chris Bosh, anthony davis and derrick rose, many schools have started to look at freshmen as the key to winning, leaving behind the long-standing idea that experience is the most important key to winning a title. however, especially recently, the top high school recruits have not brought success to their college team of choice. in fact, dating back to the year the rule became enforced, not one rivals no. 1 overall high school recruit has won a national championship for his college team. The closest a player has come to reaching this status was former Ohio state center Greg Oden, who led the Buckeyes to the championship against florida in 2007, only to lose to a team that returned all five starters from the year before.

Kentucky coach John Calipari has become the unofficial poster boy for recruiting “one and done” players. since 2009, Calipari and Kentucky have recruited nine rivals top-five high school prospects for their respective year, more than any other school. This method worked like a charm in 2011, as the team won a national title with three top-five recruits, but the

Kansas freshman guard andrew Wiggins (22) drives to the basket during a game against oklahoma State Jan. 18 at allen Fieldhouse. Kansas won, 80-78. following year, the wildcats failed to reach the nCaa tournament with the no. 2 overall recruit. while Kentucky has been taking this new idea head on, Osu and its coach, Thad Matta, have refrained from taking such an approach.

The Buckeyes’ current starting five consists of two seniors and three juniors and at one point the team was ranked as high as no. 3 in the country. however, things have taken a turn as of late and the Buckeyes have lost four games in a row and could soon drop out of the top 25,

Buckeye freshman TE Baugh arrested again for underage consumption danieL RoGeRS Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Before ever stepping on the field for the Ohio state football team, freshman tight end Marcus Baugh has been reportedly arrested for underage consumption twice. according to a report by eleven warriors’ Kyle rowland, Baugh will be suspended indefinitely from the team because of the incident. an Osu spokesman was “not aware of any details,” Tuesday night and said he was “just now hearing about this via news reports.”

This comes in the wake of Baugh being suspended for the 2013 season opener against

Wednesday January 22, 2014

Buffalo for a similar incident. in July, the tight end was arrested for underage possession/consumption of alcohol and displaying improper identification, according to franklin County Municipal Court records.

Coming out of high school, the riverside, Calif., native was considered a four-star recruit by 247sports and participated in the 2013 under armour all-american Game.

Baugh was redshirted by Osu coach urban Meyer during his freshman season after not playing for the Buckeyes all year. as of now, Osu is set to return its two starting tight ends from the 2013-14 season in junior Jeff heuerman and redshirt-sophomore nick Vannett.

Osu is set to start its season aug. 30 at M&T Bank stadium against navy.

leading many to question Matta and his decision to not target the top incoming freshmen year in and year out and instead to build off of experience.

Osu’s situation might deter others from this approach, but three of the aP’s top five teams (Michigan state, Villanova and wichita state) all have programs built around experienced upperclassmen. another telling stat is that of the previous seven top overall incoming freshmen, just two, Kentucky’s John wall and Kansas’ Josh selby, have made it to the elite 8 in the nCaa tournament. duke’s austin rivers, uCLa’s shabazz Muhammad and Osu’s BJ Mullens lost in the first round of the tournament, while Kansas state’s Michael Beasley led Kansas state to the round of 32 teams.

This year has been no different. in fact, the top freshmen have been in the spotlight even more so than previous years. Top recruit andrew wiggins, guard for Kansas, has led the Jayhawks to a 14-4 overall record. Though he has shown glimpses of his elite potential, the most hyped high school basketball recruit since LeBron James has not been a crucial part of Kansas’ success. in fact, it could be argued that wiggins’ classmate, center Joel embiid, has played better, and rivals had him listed at 25. i’m not trying to say recruiting “one and dones” is a bad method to win in college basketball, because obviously, teams accrue wins using the method. however, i believe experience is still the best way to win it all. freshmen are a great way to instantly add life to a team like Osu, who seem to lack energy on the court, but if the ultimate goal is to win a championship, which it should be for every team, experience is the way to go.

Matta and the Buckeyes do have a highly-touted recruiting class for next year with two rivals top 25 recruits in guard d’angelo russell and forward Keita Bates-diop, but the Buckeyes are also expected to return a majority of its current players. The new energy brought by next year’s freshmen combined with the experience of the returning players should easily spell success for Osu next year, or at least the idea behind it should.

Offense from 5A just don’t shoot a wide open shot,” williams said. “you just, like you said, have the confidence to be able to knock that shot down. you can’t lose faith in yourself because we need guys on our team to make shots … it’s a collective thing we have to do as a team. stay confident and knock down shots that we’ve been shooting all season long.”

Osu started off the season well, outscoring opponents by an average of 20.8 points per game in non-conference play en route to a perfect start.

But in the team’s first six Big Ten games, Osu’s margin of victory slipped to about 1.7, and the Buckeyes have gone 2-4.

Craft said the Buckeyes need to get back to how they were playing early in the season if they want to turn things around. “early in the year when we were playing the best basketball we could, we had multiple guys kind of doing their job and putting the ball in the bucket. it really relieved a lot of stress and a lot of pressure off the other guys,” Craft said. “you got a guy like (junior

forward) LaQuinton (ross) who, i think, feels like he’s gotta make plays because no one else is really doing much. and that puts him bad situations, gets him to turn the ball over and the same thing happens with (senior guard) Lenzelle (smith Jr.) or myself or anyone else. we have to have guys confident in themselves, believing in themselves and if they miss a shot we’re not going to yell at them, we’re not going to get on them. it’s on to the next play, on to the next shot, on to the next defensive possession.”

The Buckeyes —– coming off their fourth straight loss — will hope to turn things around offensively Thursday when illinois (13-6, 2-4) is scheduled to come to town. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

Alumna woos for rose on ‘Bachelor’

The Torpedo Room is located in the South Campus Gateway at 1550 N. High St.

Restaurant torpedos into Gateway Amanda Etchison Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu A new eatery located in the Gateway Film Center is inviting diners to plunge into the depths of Jules Verne’s undersea world.

The Torpedo Room is the latest culinary endeavor by Elizabeth Lessner and the Columbus Food League, a family of independent restaurants that includes local favorites like Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace and Grass Skirt Tiki Room.

Lessner, founder and owner of the Columbus Food League, said the new restaurant was partly inspired by Verne, author of Victorian science fiction novels such as “Around the World in Eighty Days” and “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” She also said it was Verne’s 1870 novel, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” that inspired The Torpedo Room’s distinctly nautical appearance.

“I liked the images I saw in Jules Verne’s (novels),” Lessner said. “His whole thing was just kind of underwater and sort of dreamy … very strange. I embraced that and ran with it.”

Lessner said the location of The Torpedo Room in the Gateway Film Center supports the surreal, otherworldly feel of the dining space.

“Movies are all about escapism,” she said.

“You go to a movie to sort of get out of your world, so I liked the idea of something sci-fi.”

Lessner started her career as a Columbusbased restaurateur in 2001.

“I was in my early 20s and I (was) enrolled at Capital University,” she said. “I ended up having the opportunity to buy a bar, so I dropped out of school and opened Betty’s (Fine Food & Spirits).”

Thirteen years later, Lessner has developed concepts for seven Columbus Food League restaurants.

Lessner said each restaurant concept pays homage to various aspects of the community in which it is located.

“They’re very neighborhood-driven and they are very space-driven,” she said. “When we identify a space that we want to go to, we spend a lot of time getting to know that block, getting to know that street, getting to know the immediate area … we really look at what (a) neighborhood needs in a restaurant.”

Lessner said developing a concept based

on the Gateway Film Center’s architectural style proved to be a challenge.

“A lot of our spaces are in really old buildings that sort of lend their own characters and seem very beautiful, and I was going into (this) hypermodern … and to me, a cold, stark and strange building,” Lessner said.

Lessner ultimately decided to emphasize the building’s modernity when developing The Torpedo Room’s concept and design.

“It was important to me to create a sort of experience in a space that was unique,” she said.

“The goal is that when you’re in there, you sort of lose track of space and time and you feel like you are in this weird little hideaway.”

From Sriracha chicken wings to vegetarian portabella “bacon,” The Torpedo Room gives guests an opportunity to explore a wide selection of alternative takes on classic food favorites.

“We tried to stick to basics like sandwiches, pizzas and salads, then we tried to infuse stuff with sort of new ingredients that maybe people haven’t seen before,” Lessner said.

Prices for food are generally about $10, and The Torpedo Room offers a full bar and happy hour specials during the week, Lessner said.

Chris Hamel, president of the Gateway Film Center, said the cinema complex discussed the creation of The Torpedo Room with Lessner and the Columbus Food League “about a year ago, with the final concept coming together (in) late summer.”

“We love Columbus and wanted to partner with someone who is as deeply invested into making this a great place to live as much as making a profit,” Hamel said in an email. “The

second goal was to enhance the experience for our film patrons and we knew Liz (Lessner) would provide these guests with a great product to enjoy before or after the movie.”

Hamel said The Torpedo Room is occupying a space that was formerly a seating area.

Christine Metzger, a fourth-year in operations management, said she was impressed by the Columbus Food League’s ability to transform the previous space into an entirely new concept.

“I thought (the Columbus Food League) did a pretty good job with changing what was just like a little lounge within the movie theater … and making it seem like a different place,” she said.

Metzger encouraged other Ohio State students to experience The Torpedo Room for themselves.

“It’s kind of the closest Columbus Food League restaurant (near) campus,” she said. “And I am a big fan of any local Columbus restaurant, so I think that this is a really good place.”

Lessner said she hopes The Torpedo Room will encourage growth in the South Campus Gateway area.

Four businesses, including Charlie Bear: Land of Dance, Gooeyz, Finish Line and Kildare’s Irish Pub, have all closed their doors in the Gateway since the beginning of summer 2013.

“My hope is that maybe this attracts some new business in the area,” she said. “I see this sort of revitalization happening in the South Campus Gateway and I want it to continue.”

The Torpedo Room is located at 1550 N. High St. The restaurant is open from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m., seven days a week.

OSU alumna Chelsie Webster is competing on season 18 of ABC’s ‘The Bachelor.’

shay trotter Senior Lantern reporter trotter.35@osu.edu One Ohio State alumna’s search for love is capturing the attention of audiences nationwide. Chelsie Webster, a 24-year-old OSU graduate, is one of 27 women being featured on the 18th season of the ABC show “The Bachelor.”

Webster, who received her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2011 and a master’s degree in early childhood education the following year, can be seen on television trying to win the heart of this season’s bachelor: Juan Pablo Galavis, an American-born Venezuelan who’s also a former professional soccer player.

While the show is airing, Webster said she is unable to participate in any interviews, but the show’s website provides some insight into the romantic preferences of the Lexington, Ohio, native.

When asked about her ideal mate, Webster replied, “I’m not overly particular. I do prefer them to be taller than me (which isn’t hard), I like a nice smile and kind eyes. Other than that, it’s the insides that count most.”

She also said she considers herself a romantic and regards love as a “top priority,” according to the website.

The season premiered Jan. 6, and many OSU students were excited to discover the presence of a former Buckeye on the show.

“She’s my favorite so far because I pay attention to her the most,” said Kelly Marquardt, a first-year pre-nursing student.

Others, like Erin Friend, a third-year in speech and hearing science, and her roommate, Lindsay O’Reilly, a third-year in special education, only watch the show for laughs.

“We literally sit around watching it and make fun of the entire thing,” Friend said.

O’Reilly expressed a similar opinion.

“I don’t think it’s realistic,” she said.

However, both were surprised to hear about Webster.

“I didn’t know she was an OSU alumna, (so) that’s kind of cool to hear,” Friend said.

This year is also the third time Francesca Rivas, a fourth-year in architecture, has designed an outfit for the event.

“As an architecture student, you learn about design, and with fashion, there’s an armature,” Rivas said. “It’s very like how you design a building. It’s a chance to get to design in a different way.”

“Different” is the name of the game at the KSA Fashion Schau, where entries are expected to use “unconventional materials,” said Chris Mannella, a fourth-year in architecture and the president of SERVitecture.

Mannella said he’s seen entries made of everything from paper to produce.

This year, Rivas’ dress is made of “umbrella parts and Saran Wrap,” she said.

Along with the use of unconventional materials, entries are to be judged on the economical use of the materials and overall presentation, Mannella said. A panel of four faculty members from the Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture are slated to serve as judges.

In the spirit of economical use, Rivas said she tries not to spend more than $20 on her designs, but said her budget adds to the challenge.

“It makes it harder to make something beautiful,” she said.

The couture creations can take anywhere from several hours to several days to complete, Rivas said. Her creation will require about 14 hours of work.

For the first time, this year’s Fashion Schau will give designers an extra element to consider: a theme. Specifically, silhouettes.

But the addition wasn’t intentional. The silhouette theme came about “organically” during the planning of the event’s stage and runway, Mannella said.

Rivas said she took consideration of the theme in designing her piece.

The duality between the silhouette and the reveal “make the costumes come alive,” she said.

Rivas is set to join 22 other competitors with her piece.

Proceeds from the event are set to go to Dress for Success Columbus, said Alex Stagge, a fourth-year in architecture and a member of SERVitecture’s public relations committee.

According to its website, Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization that works to provide disadvantaged women with professional attire.

The event has raised $1,500 total in the past two years for the group through sale of tickets, Stagge said.

Admission to the event costs $5. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the KSA front desk or at the door Friday, Mannella said.

opinion

Guns N’ Roses leaves fans hungry with slashed members Danielle Seamon Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu November rain is expected to fall in May. With ‘80s hard rock band Guns N’ Roses as one of Rock On The Range’s headliners, theoretically, an appetite for destruction will be satiated by the time the annual Columbus music festival concludes.

This is how I imagine their set.

Steven Adler’s drumming will be what welcomes Columbus to the jungle.

His smile, rooted at the corners of his mouth, will greet fans underneath his whispy, wavy golden locks of sunshine. He might not fall high in the ranks of history’s best drummers, but Adler’s sub-par talent is all that is needed to lay down the groundwork for “Paradise City” and the other 91 percent of “Appetite for Destruction.” Plus, it will be great to see him alive and well after his stints in rehab for multiple substance abuses.

Wait … Adler is not in GNR anymore? They kicked him out in 1990 for his drug problem? Oh, OK, bummer. Well, he was just the drummer, I guess.

At least bassist Duff McKagan will be there to lay down the funk in the opening of “Rocket Queen.” The blond, sexual sweetheart of the band always laid low, super mysterious in the shadows of the more prominent members, but now as a family man with a knack for entrepreneurship, McKagan is on fire. Not to mention, the journalism side of me envies his ability to score weekly columns for Playboy.com and ESPN.com in the past.

What did you say? McKagan made like a banana and split from GNR in 1997? So he’s not going to be there? Oh. Well, it is a known fact that bass is the choice instrument for those incompetent in any other type of guitar, so an orangutan could easily fill in.

As long as Izzy Stradlin, whose real name is Jeffrey Dean Isbell, is there to aid Axl Rose, whose real name is William Bruce Rose, Jr. in vocals, primarily on “Mr. Brownstone,” GNR will still tear it up despite Adler and McKagan’s absence. I imagine the rhythm guitarist will sport at least four different types of scarves, enough to give Steven Tyler a run for his…

Izzy isn’t going to be there either? He left the band in 1991 in an effort to get sober? He didn’t even show up to GNR’s induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012? Well … good … we didn’t need him anyway.

So long as Slash (beautiful Slash), whose real name is Saul Hudson, is on stage, donning that top hat and cigarette, shredding through the opening lick of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” GNR can continue to exist as the best hard rock band in the…

Oh my God. No. Then who is going to be there from the band’s original lineup?

Just Axl Rose? The reason why the other four members left? He replaced all of them? He had cornrows at some point?

So Guns N’ Roses might be headlining Rock On The Range this year, but Guns N’ Roses really isn’t headlining Rock On The Range this year.

[ a+e ] albumreviews Against Me! releases most autobiographical album to date MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu

Against Me! has set little precedent for “Transgender Dysphoria Blues,” the band’s sixth proper full-length album. A band most distinguished for songs in respect to political aggression, even to hyperbolic extent (re: “Baby I’m an Anarchist”), has put together a record here that is far more autobiographical than we’ve heard before. Of course, there is one ever-present fact about the band in 2014 that makes this click: A 2012 interview with “Rolling Stone” revealed that Against Me!’s lead singer, known formerly as Tom Gabel, is making the transition to become a woman, Laura Jane Grace.

Thus, much of the commentary coming from the band in “Blues” takes on the subject of gender dysphoria, a disorder in which an individual faces conflict with their physical gender and the gender they identify as. The title track serves as the album’s opener, putting into motion a motif of self-identity for the rest of the record: “Your tells are so obvious / Shoulders too broad for a girl.”

Now, musically and in ethos, Against Me! is a similar band to the one it was at its inception. Its physicality might have become unhinged here and there because of some lineup shifts, but nonetheless, this is still a group focused on propelling punk-inflected guitar rock. Hormone replacement therapy doesn’t alter the voices of men who make the transition to become women, so Grace is still barking during her most impassioned moments on “Blues.”

“Blues” strides in the right direction, and better yet, it stands as a literal breakout for Against Me!. Grace and her band envelope the tribulation of facing public perception as a transgendered woman successfully over the record’s 10 songs, while dabbling with tunes of familial matters (“Two Coffins”) and loss (the blunt “Dead Friend”).

In true Against Me! fashion, lyrics are not entrenched in deep personality or high-art symbolism, but rather reach debate in their potential controversy. In the case of “Blues,” this is held within Grace’s lyrics of coming out and the issues that surround it, as noted on the album’s lead single, “F---MYLIFE666:” “Chipped nail polish and a barbed wire dress / Is your mother proud of your eyelashes / Silicone chest, and collagen lips?” This is expanded upon further in depicting “a f---ed up kind of feminine” in “Paralytic States:” “Spread out face down on those stained, cheap hotel sheets / She spent the last years of her life running from the boy she used to be / Cut her face wide open, shaved the bone down, then pumped up her lips exaggerated”

This record illustrates messages from Grace that, even considering what she is undergoing, are far from convoluted. She’s confident, and needless to say, “Blues” is assertive (the lead singer lays out her songs in terms too colorful for a family reunion). Though it relents on the anthemic titles of pre-2005 Against Me!, namely the “Axl Rose” and “Eternal Cowboy” era, the record is an eloquently punk recount of a drastic time.

It is in the rugged closer “Black Me Out,” an all-out anthem dedicated to “screw you,” that “Blues” is encapsulated. The Against Me! frontwoman, as we have come to know her in the last two years, is still becoming in her role, regardless of her new identity. After feeling “weak and insecure,” Grace has had it with her previous commitment to being a man and has a wave of self-confidence and acceptance: “I want to piss on the walls of your house / I want to chop those brass rings off your fat f---ing fingers / As if you were a kingmaker / Black me out.”

Legalization of marijuana has financial, health benefits campus Columnist

wes burden burden.52@osu.edu

When faced with the idea of marijuana being legal across our great nation, I think some people are afraid the “potheads” everywhere will come out en masse to toast, or light, to this special occasion if it ever occurs.

While I don’t believe in this premise of marijuana users joining forces to celebrate, I do think we will be living in a country willing to accept marijuana into the mainstream and it might happen sooner than most

think.

With 21 states, and Washington D.C., having legalized the use of marijuana for medical reasons, I think our country is on the path to nationwide legalization and I believe this occurrence will happen for all the right reasons.

Financial benefits Something that cannot be argued is the stimulation, or boost, selling and taxing marijuana will provide to both the state and national economies. Take the lone state thus far to implement selling recreational marijuana, Colorado. On the first day of 2014 alone, pot shops opened across the state totaled over $1 million in sales, according to multiple sources. Combine that with a nearly 29 percent tax rate statewide, and you can do the math from there.

Where there is legalization, there is a great chance to make green, and not just the marijuana kind.

Medical benefits Not only will the sales and taxes from marijuana help provide additional relief to our economy, marijuana also can provide an enormous amount of care to those who are sick or suffer from chronic illness and pain. Yes, I understand some people will smoke marijuana just to get high, but let’s not let this notion deter us from seeing the bigger picture of relief marijuana can provide.

The more you watch the news, the more you will see parents allowing children suffering from seizures, cancer or any other disease to digest marijuana as a way to cope with the pains they face on a routine basis. People with an existing form of HIV/ AIDS suffer from a lack of appetite and lack of lean muscle mass.

Marijuana allows these patients to develop an appetite and digest needed nutrients they could not stomach before.

Those who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis face physical and mental damage throughout their lives, specifically through a destruction of the immune system. Two chemicals within marijuana, THC and CBD, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce the unnatural amount of inflammation which occurs within those who carry MS. Another condition marijuana routinely treats is Glaucoma, a progressive form of blindness because of increased blood pressure inside of the eye.

Treatment from marijuana reduces the amount of pressure that forms within the eye, but also helps to slow blood flow into the eye, helping to alleviate the loss of vision which can occur.

The last forms of illness marijuana helps to combat is cancer.

Not only does marijuana help treat those with cancer, it can also provide a relief for those who have to face going through strenuous amounts of chemotherapy to fight cancer from spreading even greater. Those who battle chemotherapy are known to struggle against extreme bouts of nausea, vomiting and anxiety. With marijuana in hand, chemicals within the drug help to lessen these

excessive amounts of sickness.

Compared to other drugs For all those who oppose recreational or medicinal usage of marijuana, let me ask you a question: When was the last time you had a drink or multiple drinks of alcohol? Or, when was the last time you or someone you know took prescribed medications?

We already have legal, mind-altering or oppressing drugs on the market, why do we need one more?

That’s the problem I have with those who say marijuana gets you high off of your mind and makes your motor skills function improperly. News flash, both alcohol and prescription medicine do the exact same thing. So how as a person or as a society do we come off denouncing the former but allowing the latter to exist within our world? Let me throw a few numbers out here to make my point a little more clear. The first number is 20,000: the number of cancer deaths each year caused by alcohol consumption.

The next number is 10,228, or the number of people who died because of drunk driving in 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In all, these number of deaths account for 31 percent of all driving deaths in that year.

The last number is 37,485: the number of people who died from overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications in 2009, according to data from CDCP. Let those numbers sink in before we struggle to understand why “potheads” think it is cool for marijuana to be legal, yet each year we turn a cold shoulder to those who suffer and die from “legal” accidents each year. Sparing going into the ongoing suffering from those who are bound by their addictions to alcohol or pain medications, such as depression, suicides or homicides, we must tackle the number of cannabis-induced deaths we face as a country each year. Looking at past studies, I came to this conclusion: there are no credible, medical reports stating consuming marijuana will cause you to die. Are we sure we are fighting a war against the right drugs?

Misconceptions For all those out there who believe marijuana shouldn’t be legal, if we ever have a conversation about the topic, please spare me the ignorance which can occur when debating the real issues of marijuana. I agree there are certain times when you should not smoke weed, be it before work, while operating a vehicle or if you are pregnant. I do not and will not ever condone these types of actions. But let us not pretend these instances do not already occur routinely with other substances. Do not waver from common sense into stupidity by saying pot smokers are fat and lazy. Asinine and unprovable statements such as these deter you from seeing the bigger picture in the war on marijuana. According to an August Gallup poll, 36 percent of those surveyed between the age of 18 and 29 have tried marijuana. The percentage was higher between ages 30 and 64. How could all these people be lazy and unproductive toward society’s greater cause?

We are under this umbrella which allows us to think drinking alcohol is fun, exciting and knows how to create a good time. Like the song says, it’s always five o’clock somewhere, right? Alcohol impairs your motor functions, the ability to talk, stand or see, and yet there are people who are still fearful of those who like to get “high.” I don’t know about everyone else, but most people I know who smoke routinely find themselves hands deep in a bag of chips while lying on their couch. These are not the people we should fear, but like a herd of sheep we will succumb to the pressures of society to fear the unknown and not make logical decisions for ourselves. But, if as a society we ever decide to remove our beer lenses and replace them with intuitive lenses such as common sense, we might begin to realize how much harm we already do to ourselves and how marijuana could play a role in helping to cure those damages.

Rand Paul sucks fun out of Snapchat with new account campus Columnist

Some politicians are using new social media and Internet memes to communicate with the public, but is it innovation or a bad attempt to seem current?

Popular Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul signed up for Snapchat last week, following up with a Snapchat poking francis pellicciaro fun at the National pellicciaro.1@osu.edu Security Agency.

Paul is widely seen as a likely Republican presidential candidate for the 2016 election. He has Snapchatted people thanking them for following him on Snapchat, and seems to keep up with his attention on this social media.

Now, this can seem strange. Snapchat was created for sexting, right? Maybe? Just as some people stop using Facebook after seeing their auntie tagging them in dozens of pictures, Paul took Snapchat from the world of light-speed social media to Capitol Hill, potentially dooming it. But you see, light-speed is the key word here. Snapchat lets people send simple, concise messages in the blink of an eye and if that’s how young voters like to communicate, then of course at least some politicians will follow suit to boost their appeal.

But what about Paul’s Snapchat making fun of the NSA? He “mooned” viewers with a picture of the moon captioned “Hey NSA check this out! You’ve been ‘mooned’ but its disappearing … better get a screenshot fast.” Definitely on par with your aunt’s awful puns, but more appealing than watching C-SPAN. Thus, we are bound to see plenty more politicians using Snapchat, and using it creatively.

Courtesy of MCT

Sen. Rand Paul speaks at a news conference to announce legal action against government surveillance and the National Security Agency’s overreach of power June 13.

This trend goes on. A couple of politicians have used the popular Internet meme Doge to express themselves.

Whether they find the meme funny to begin with is debatable. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Doge stemmed from a pictures of a dog, a Shiba Inus, staring intensely.

Captions in bad grammar are added around the dog and represent the internal monologue of the dog as it stares.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky used Doge to critique bipartisanship and government spending. Republican Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas took a shot at Republican Sen. John Cornyn, also of Texas. Stockman is running for Cornyn’s seat in 2014. The picture of Cornyn with text saying he supports Obamacare funding and opposes Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz is not funny, but since the first newspaper comics, there have been great pictures used as satire. If we equate Internet memes by politicians to political cartoons, there are aspirations for the political meme. And aspirations are definitely big for these republican politicians.

Obama’s declining popularity doesn’t change the awkward relationship many republicans have with younger generations concerning many social issues. Maybe the next picture on the cover of The New York Times will be President Barack Obama’s face doctored onto a duck with the caption “lame.”
