The semester conversion will cost Ohio State at least $12.6 million, which is more than $1 million higher than officials’ top-end estimates.

Jay Johnson, assistant provost at the Office of Academic Affairs, said an ad-hoc committee that studied the semester conversion estimated the transition to be a one-time cost between $8.7 and $11.2 million.

“They used two approaches to estimate the costs,” Johnson said. “They estimated the time and expense that would be needed to convert courses and programs, additional advising for students, information technology adjustments and other potential impacts.”

Johnson estimated the breakdown of the funds to be 76 percent for information technology, 13 percent for administration and 11 percent for advising.

Nick Messenger, president of Undergraduate Student Government, said he thinks the cost is a bit high but necessary.

“From my end, that is a little high,” he said. “But when you’re planning something on this scale, I think our university will end up saving in the long end. You have to look at it and remember it’s a one-time cost and it will end up benefitting our students.”

Johnson said the funds for the $12.6 million price tag came from allocated funds, like investment income and earnings overhead. Investment income is money earned through various investments the university has made.

“Students will not pay for the transition costs,” Johnson said. “Student fees and tuition as well as State Share of Instruction, instructional funds from the State of Ohio, are given directly to colleges and departments to support instruction.”

Johnson also pointed out some information technology benefits, which account for most of the cost.

“For instance, a web-based system was created to help students and advisers map the coursework needed to graduate when students have taken both quarterand semester-based courses,” Johnson said. “This same system will continue to be used as an advising tool for both students and advisers.”

Steven Fink, co-chair of the Semester Conversion Coordinating Committee, told The Lantern the university was not concerned with the financial end of the switch, but how it would benefit students in the long run.

“If we were looking at this financially, we would not be doing the conversion,” Fink said. “We had to be competitive with other schools and convenience students.”

Johnson agreed. He said the upgrades of the information technology will benefit the university beyond the transition efforts.

“The decision to move to semesters was not based on any financial incentive, therefore we are not looking for a financial benefit,” Johnson said.

A spokesman for President E. Gordon Gee did not comment on the issue.

Johnson said in figuring out estimates for OSU’s switch, the committee asked

FALSE ALARM Firefighters from Columbus Division of Fire Engine 7 get back into their truck after responding to a call at Derby Hall on OSU’s campus, Jan. 23.

Amanda Pierce Lantern reporter pierce.343@osu.edu If you are an Ohio State student, chances are you’ve had a teaching assistant in one of your classes. In Autumn Quarter, 2,164 graduate TAs taught at the university, some of whom were not born in the United States, said Ken Orr, operational analyst in the Office of Academic Affairs.

While the university takes pride in its diversity, some students worry about understanding their international TAs in the classroom.

This issue will be the topic of discussion Tuesday at a University Center for the Advancement of Teaching (UCAT)-sponsored seminar in the Younkin Success Center.

The seminar, “Strategies for Communicating Effectively with Your International TA,” is a part of the Undergraduate Colloquium Series, a year-long series of academically enriching workshops centered around a theme. This year’s theme is immigration, identity and citizenship.

Laurie Maynell, instructional consultant at UCAT, said the seminar is a “coming together of many things.”

The topic of international TAs in the classroom is in line with this year’s theme, Maynell said. The event is also filling a need on campus.

“I have heard that there are undergraduate students on campus who, as soon as they walk in their classroom on the first day and see a foreign face, they go, ‘Oh my gosh, this class is going to be awful,’” Maynell said.

With nine more months left of speeches, debates, campaigning and commercials, the controversial topic of religion in the political realm inevitably travels back to the forefront of some discussions.

Many political experts say personal religious beliefs of presidential candidates can impact the public’s opinion in negative and positive ways.

Paul Beck, professor of political science at Ohio State, said candidates need to be clear about their faith.

“People who are deeply religious value congruity between themselves and the particular candidate running,” Beck said.

While faith can be considered a factor, there are more criteria to be considered, Beck said.

“Most Americans are willing to consider (religion) among other things in making that decision, in terms of the general election,” Beck said.

The personal religious beliefs of candidates are sometimes impossible to ignore, but some students think too much focus on religion can be a bad thing.

“I definitely at least take it into consideration as part of a candidate’s makeup, although it is honestly one of the lesser things I focus on,” said Andrew Schlabach, a third-year in electrical and computer engineering. “However, if a candidate makes it a

point to really focus on religion as a core piece of their platform, it throws up red warning flags.”

Carrie Kirkland, a fourth-year in political science, shared a similar opinion on government leaders applying faith to policy.

“I don’t think they should universally apply their faith because not everyone has the same faith,” Kirkland said. “Presidents are making decisions

for the nation and internationally. These decisions impact everybody.”

While religion in politics is often portrayed in the media, Beck said he doesn’t think the topic is blown out of proportion.

campus Lack of compassion fuels troubles for some with PTSD Jaime Ortega-Simo Lantern reporter ortega-simo.1@osu.edu Some students who come from military backgrounds and then decide to pursue a college education can suffer from the somewhat common disorder known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can occur after someone has experienced a traumatic event that involved the threat of injury or death.

Roger Buck, the interim director of the Counseling Center at Hocking College, spoke at the event “Understanding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” held at the Ohio Union on Jan. 19. Buck said one of the biggest problems for students with PTSD is that when coming back from the military culture, they didn’t fit well with the college crowd.

“These veterans are older individuals, have more life experience and leadership,” Buck said. “Veterans with PTSD feel disrespected by the childish behavior of traditional teenage students.”

Buck said for many veterans with PTSD, there is a lack of respect by faculty and staff on campus for the sacrifices of veteran friends killed and injured.

Buck said the “non-compassionate” attitude of staff members toward veterans suffering from PTSD does not help solve the problem.

“These guys have seen horrible events, smelled horrible stuff and experienced extreme human emotions,” Buck said. “People need to be more understanding.”

In addition to a change in attitude from professors and faculty, one professor suggested that the best solution to PTSD-related complications is to seek medical treatment.

“There are thousands of soldiers that suffer from PTSD,” said Joseph DeCola, director of clinical services at OSU’s Anxiety and Stress Disorders Clinic.

DeCola suggested students who suffer from PTSD seek psychiatric therapy.

“No one wants to go to treatment, but it works well,” DeCola said. “They are not going to get better by themselves. It’s just like going to the gym: If you don’t work out, you’re not going to get stronger.”

DeCola said people with PTSD can suffer a snowball-effect if they don’t get treatment, which causes nightmares, depressions and flashbacks until it becomes uncontrollable.

DeCola said medication can also help, depending on the patient.

“Medication is important as well, as some patients need to take medicine while others need to go to therapy,” DeCola said.

Christopher Seitler, vice president of PTSD Survivors of America, said medication is a double-edged sword.

“We had a discussion about this in our group conversation the other day,” Seitler said. “It’s an endless trial and error debate, people under medication take seven to eight pills a day.”

Seitler said talking to others, in a group-therapy setting, can be more beneficial than medicine. He said many veterans share the same experiences, and talking about things can be helpful.

Exposure treatment, which involves exposing the patient to a controlled environment that triggers that trauma, is another option DeCola mentioned.

“Exposure treatment works well for moods and anxiety,” DeCola said. “Using exposure treatment, the patients face the things they’re afraid off.”

Winter prompts restaurant owners to raise the bar ron Miles Lantern reporter miles.139@osu.edu Winter weather tends to keep students around Ohio State’s campus cooped up, but many campusarea bars have created ways to prevent this, all while keeping students warm and entertained.

Adam Breakiron, owner of The Big Bar & Grill, has been involved in the OSU bar scene for more than 19 years. During this period, Breakiron has been active in planning a number of events to give students a study break and get out socializing.

“A lot of students like to come out Winter Quarter,” Breakiron said. “It’s just after Christmas, so they have a little money to spend, and it gives them a chance to show their new clothes off.”

Breakiron and the staff of The Big Bar have already organized a number of events for the upcoming weeks to persuade students to brave the cold and venture out for a fun night.

“We try to do a lot of celebrity events and special guest appearances to keep students up here,” Breakiron said. “Students don’t like standing in line for the bus to go downtown, so it makes sense to stay closer to campus.”

Just down the street from The Big Bar is the newly opened Midway on High Restaurant and Bar. Manager Will Vodak said that although the first sign of major winter weather hit on their opening night, the snow, ice and wind failed to keep their crowd from showing up.

“We were pessimistic in the beginning, but ended up with a great turnout,” Vodak said.

Vodak said he believes the location of Midway will help to attract customers despite the cold.

“Weather will happen no matter what,” Vodak said. “But our location is part of our name, ‘Midway.’ People don’t have to travel far either way.”

Features of the bar, such as heated patios, allow for customers to venture outside.

Midway’s double-decker environment also allows groups to book parties, another way the bar looks to avoid the winter weather effect.

“We can host Greek events, birthdays and events for student clubs, which is great since cold weather tends to keep everyone indoors,” Vodak said.

While some places around campus have had better luck attracting students to face the cold and venture out to socialize, others have had difficulties attracting business during the winter.

Juan Diaz, a manager at The Tipsy Bar & Grill, said business has slowed down since the cold weather hit.

“People don’t want to go out in the cold,” Diaz said.

Many campus-area bars, including The Big Bar & Grill, are finding ways to attract patrons in cold weather.

Tipsy has attempted to use its happy hour as a selling point to get students to come in during Winter Quarter. However, the cold has kept customers out.

“It worked a lot better when the weather was warmer,” Diaz said.

Many students said the cold weather does tend to keep them from going out Winter Quarter, but they’re much more likely to go out when bars have attractive specials and impressive entertainment.

Mackenzie Schwieterman, a third-year in radiological sciences and therapy, said she only goes out to the bars about once a week during the winter, as opposed to three times per week during the fall and spring.

“We have a house and stay in more,” Schwieterman said. “No one wants to go out as much in the cold.”

Despite the cold, Schwieterman said she would be more likely to head out one night for certain entertainment.

Fashion has also proven to be a big factor in going out during the cold winter months.

“You can’t look good in a big puffy coat,” said Harry Cekovich, a second-year in environmental engineering. “If my friends are going out and bars have good deals and entertainment, I’ll still hit that up though.”

Compliance centralizing project on schedule Thomas Bradley Campus editor bradley.321@osu.edu Plans to shift Ohio State’s current compliance program to a university-wide department are under way.

The Board of Trustees met Monday to discuss the timeline of events that could lead to the implementation of a centralized compliance program.

The project, which stemmed from an investigation of the football program, athletic department and athletic compliance division, will attempt to centralize compliance in three areas of the university: athletics compliance, research compliance and compliance at the Ohio State University Medical Center.

Board member Geoffrey Chatas, chief financial officer at OSU, said Monday’s meeting was a public session to inform about a future meeting where more information will be shared.

“It was an update on the timetable of compliance. Our consultants told the committee that they are on time,” Chatas said. “They would have a full report to the committee on Feb. 9.”

Chatas said the majority of the work from the consultant, Protiviti, a business-consulting firm in Menlo Park, Calif., has been complete.

“They have completed the bulk of their work. They are looking at benchmarking a lot of institutions, both universities and companies,” Chatas said. “They are looking at what we’re doing and making recommendations about the steps forward.”

Chatas said the next Audit and Compliance Committee

meeting will be more telling of what to expect down the road.

“On Feb. 9, the consultants will be making a formal recommendation to the committee for structural changes, as well as findings.” Chatas said.

Chatas said after the recommendation from the consultant, the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Board of Trustees will vote on the plan.

“If they approve it, the implementation will come after that.”

Chatas said.

Chatas said that during the meeting, the chair of the Audit and Compliance Committee, Robert Schottenstein, indicated the direction is a centralized compliance effort.

“That has not changed,” Chatas said.

At that committee meeting in November 2011, Schottenstein said the goals of the university, in relation to compliance, are clear.

“This grew out of a crisis that sprung within our athletic department that raised questions about the university’s approach to compliance,” Schottenstein said. “It made us take a hard look into ways we can improve. We can use this as an opportunity to get better.”

OSU’s major compliance problems began late last year with the suspension of six football players for their dealings with local tattoo parlor owner, Edward Rife. Several players were involved in the trade of memorabilia for cash and tattoos.

Former coach Jim Tressel knew of the violations in April 2010, but did not disclose the information to university officials.

Tressel resigned from his position as football coach on May 30.

Johnson said other universities how much their semester conversions cost.

In 1995, the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents voted to allocate $4 million toward its semester conversion project, according to an investigation done by the Oregon University system.

At the same time, Minnesota developed a student information system, similar to OSU’s current Buckeyelink system, which previously had not existed. Between the development of the information system and the semester conversion, Minnesota spent roughly $20 million on these projects, according to the report.

Also in the report, Peter Zetterberg, who led the

Minnesota conversion, said there were no appreciable cost savings after the conversion.

Johnson also said OSU has a long history of considering conversion.

“Ohio State seriously considered moving to semesters three times in the past 20 years,” he said. “In the 1990s, the faculty was not supportive of the change to semesters. A calendar change was reviewed in 2000-01 and at that time the university community seemed more in favor, but we were constrained by the IT infrastructure.”

The university has spent the past few years gearing up for the change, he said.

“We spent the last several years converting nearly every major system to PeopleSoft and now have a robust Student Information System that makes the transition to semesters possible from an IT standpoint.”

OSU’s first semester is scheduled for Summer 2012.

Students should take control of the situation, Cennamo said.

She said she hopes the seminar will give students a new perspective and better attitude.

“When we thought about the topic, it was really about bridging cultural differences,” Maynell said.

“Some of the strategies are going to be about understanding the person better who is your TA … and being patient in understanding their English.”

Sean Edwards, a third-year in biology, said he has had good and bad experiences with international TAs at OSU. “It’s either hit or miss,” Edwards said.

One TA in particular was especially challenging, Edwards said.

“I had one that would just explain things 10 times and you wouldn’t be able to understand a single thing she said,” he said.

Ruth Roberts-Kohno, one of the facilitators of the seminar and a lecturer in the Spoken English Program, which trains and certifies international TAs, said fear and misconceptions often get in the way of effective communication.

“Students have certain expectations based on cultural stereotypes or what you’ve seen in movies, but actually those expectations are going to hinder your understanding of your TA,” Roberts-Kohno said.

The Spoken English Program screens international TAs for language proficiency and places them in language classes before they teach in a classroom, Roberts-Kohno said.

Each quarter-long class focuses heavily on language, pronunciation and American culture.

“We want them to understand more about undergraduates and undergraduate life,” said Ron Clason, academic program specialist in the Spoken English Program and seminar facilitator.

The American education system is very different from the systems in many other countries, so the classes also teach the future TAs what to expect, Clason said.

For example, Clason said that in some countries, asking the instructor questions during class, a

common practice in American classrooms, is considered disrespectful.

“If we don’t expose them to the American education system and what the possibilities are, they can be offended,” Roberts-Kohno said.

To immerse graduate students in the culture of an American university, undergraduate students are brought in to the language classes, Roberts-Kohno said.

“Part of this cultural component that we’ve developed is getting our students to meet and talk with undergrads at different points in their English study,” Roberts-Kohno said.

She doesn’t think undergraduate students know about the training international TAs receive before setting foot in a classroom.

“We want people to understand that this (training) is happening because a lot of people still think nothing is going on with the (international) TAs,” Roberts-Kohno said. “(International TAs) are taking responsibility for being a good teacher, but the communication goes both ways.”

Joel Moreira, a TA in the math department, came to OSU last year after completing his undergraduate degree in Portugal, his home country.

Moreira has been a TA for Math 151 since September and said students should be proactive if they are confused in class.

“They should do something if they have a problem understanding,” Moreira said. “They should come talk to me at the end of class and in office hours, send me an email.”

Like Moreira, Kathi Cennamo, coordinator of the Spoken English Program and seminar facilitator, said students have to take control of their own situation.

“The worst thing that you can do is sit back and nod and then hate it and then just don’t go to the class,” Cennamo said. “And I think probably most people do that.”

Despite the negative attitudes of some undergraduate students, Maynell said she knows there are others who feel differently.

“I know that there are a lot of undergraduate students out there making a good effort to understand and who are sensitive to the fact that their teacher is negotiating a new culture,” Maynell said.

“I guess I’d just like to see that attitude a little bit more.”

there,” Beck said. “Not to say the media does not influence public opinion, and vice versa.”

The misconception that President Barack Obama is actually Muslim and not Christian has followed him since his 2008 campaign. And chatter about Republican nominee-hopeful Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith is still going strong.

In order for Romney to be successful, “people need to see Mitt Romney as Mitt Romney and not ‘The Mormon,’” said Nathaniel Swigger, a political science professor at OSU-Newark.

Protestant Christian Americans historically display a trend of uncertainty and mistrust toward any political figure who is not of the same or similar faith, Swigger said.

Decades ago, some suspected John F. Kennedy, the first and only Catholic president, would put loyalty to the Pope in front of his country. Many thought Kennedy’s faith would prohibit him from becoming president. Kennedy ended up winning the election despite general concerns about his faith.

Swigger said atheism, on other side of the religious spectrum, might arguably present its own challenge in the opinion of the public.

“Atheism is a tough sell,” Swigger said. “A lot of people are simply not comfortable with the idea of

fOrmer PreSidenT JOhn f. Kennedy

people not sharing beliefs. We’ll see a female president long before we’ll see an atheist.”

Whether it is an excess of or a lack of faith, Kirkland said she still feels the impact as a voter.

However, when it comes down to it, “religion is relevant to the public on the surface when choosing a presidential candidate,” Kirkland said. “However, it boils down to how that religious belief, or lack thereof, is reflected through his or her choices and actions.”

As Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer went through the process of filling out his coaching staff last month, a common theme developed: almost all coaches had some direct connection to the Buckeyes or the state of Ohio.

Co-defensive coordinator and assistant head coach Everett Withers was an exception. Through 24 years of coaching — 1 ­ 7 at the collegiate level and seven in the NFL — Withers never coached in Ohio nor did he grow up in the Buckeye state. He also never coached alongside Meyer.

In his fourth season at UNC and his first as its head coach, Withers led the team to a 7-6 overall record in 2011 including an appearance in the Dec. 26 Independence Bowl against

(Right) Withers, then-interim coach at North Carolina, applauds a touchdown by his team against Georgia Tech, Sept. 24, 2011. Georgia Tech defeated UNC, 35-28.

Missouri, which the Tar Heels lost, 41-24.

Despite the lack of a past OSU connection on his resume, Withers said the allure of Meyer and the Buckeyes helped draw him to Columbus.

“The opportunity to work with coach Meyer was a big reason (for me coming to OSU),” Withers said at the introductory press conference for the coaching staff on Jan. 12. “It’s the Ohio State University, another huge reason … this is an unbelievable staff.”

Withers might understand the unusual circumstances the OSU football program went through this past season better than any of the new coaches. He served as interim head coach for North Carolina last season after the school fired coach Butch Davis in July after the program became involved in improper benefits and academic misconduct scandals.

Withers acknowledged some resemblance between UNC’s and OSU’s scandal-marred seasons.

“I think there are some similarities but you know, each circumstance is different,” Withers said. “I think those (OSU) kids that have gone through what they went through this past year have some common bond with those kids from North Carolina just because of the things, the uphill battle, the media scrutiny and all the other things that went on. So it’s a good conversation piece, that’s for sure.”

If anything, it should help Withers connect with defensive coordinator Luke Fickell, who remains on staff after leading the Buckeyes to a 6-7 record last season. Withers said he and Fickell will mesh well together as co-defensive coordinators.

“I have a lot of respect for what coach Fickell has done here at Ohio State with the defense, how hard and how passionate they play,” Withers

said. “I think it’s always good when you have a chance to be around somebody else that’s done it, is doing it, that you can put ideas together. I’ve always thought that two heads are better than one.”

Meyer shared a similar sentiment at the time of Withers’ hiring. “(Withers) is extremely wellrespected across the country,” Meyer said. “I’ve known about him for a number of years and followed his progress as a college and NFL assistant coach. He will be a great fit for this staff and I think he and (Fickell) are going to work well together as the co-coordinators of our defense.”

Withers, who will also serve as safeties coach, will make $450,000 this season. Fickell will make $750,000, a $25,000 cut from his 2011 salary.

Former OSU wide receiver DeVier Posey scores a touchdown during the Buckeyes’ 24-17 loss to Florida in the 2012 Gator Bowl on Jan. 2 at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. Posey will participate in the 2012 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

Posey poised to impress at Senior Bowl Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Perhaps the most intriguing of the four former Ohio State football players participating in Saturday’s Senior Bowl is wide reciever DeVier Posey, who played just three games during this past season as a result of suspensions for NCAA rules violations.

One analyst from ESPN still thinks Posey has time to improve his draft stock, and Posey said that is what he intends to do in the days leading up to Saturday’s showcase of NFL-hopefuls.

Posey, along with former Buckeye quarterback Terrelle Pryor, defensive end Solomon Thomas, tackle Mike Adams and Daniel “Boom” Herron, were suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for selling OSU football memorabilia in exchange for improper benefits in the form of tattoos. Posey was then suspended for five additional games after it was revealed that Posey was over-compensated by former OSU football booster Robert DiGeronimo for work he did not complete during a 2011 summer job.

Posey was able to make the most of the few opportunities he had during this past season, catching 12 balls for 162 yards and two touchdowns in regular season games against Penn State and Michigan, and the 2012 Gator Bowl against Florida.

Given the few opportunities he had to impress during his senior season, Posey said he was surprised to get an invite to the Senior Bowl.

“I definitely thought that this was a long shot and that’s why I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to go out and show what I have,” Posey said. “I just

want to make the most of my opportunity right now and can’t take it for granted at all. No days off and no plays off.”

Posey, along with center Michael Brewster, Adams and Herron, will compete on the Senior Bowl’s North team, which is coached by the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings’ coaching staff. The South team will be under the guidance of the Washington Redskins’ staff.

Members of both teams had weight and height measurements taken Monday morning and began practice later in the day. Posey weighed in at 209 pounds and stood at 6-foot-1.

In an exclusive interview with The Lantern in November, ESPN college football analyst Todd McShay said the 10 games Posey missed due to suspension won’t be overlooked by NFL scouts.

But he also said Posey’s draft stock should continue to rise until the NFL Draft in April. “(The suspensions) hurt him, but he played really well (against Penn State),” McShay said. “There’s enough time between now and April for him. I’m not saying he’s going to completely make up all the ground he’s lost, but I think he’ll work his way back. I had him as a third-round prospect based off of tape from last year. He’s so athletic and he should keep getting better. As long as the off-the-field stuff is not a big concern to scouts. From the scouts I’ve talked to, it doesn’t seem to be (a concern).”

Posey, who is on track to graduate from OSU in spring 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in communication, snagged 136 receptions, 1,955 receiving yards and 18 receiving touchdowns during his time at OSU. Posey has also contributed on the biggest stages when OSU competed in the postseason.

During his sophomore season, the receiver dove and dragged his feet to haul in a touchdown pass from Pryor during OSU’s 27-16 Rose Bowl victory against Oregon on Jan. 1, 2010. Posey also caught a touchdown pass from Pryor during the Buckeyes’ 31-26 win against Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl. That game, along with the entire 2010 regular season, was later vacated by the university as part of its self-imposed sanctions for NCAA violations.

The opportunity to strap on a piece of Scarlet and Gray equipment one final time means everything to Posey, he said.

“Just to have the opportunity to represent my school one more time and put on that helmet, I feel like it’s a true blessing,” Posey said. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do, I’ve been following this game since I’ve been in high school and I always thought that if I were around for four years in college, that I would definitely want the opportunity to represent my school and play against the best of the best.”

The opportunity to play against the best for Posey, Brewster, Adams and Herron will arrive Saturday when the Senior Bowl kicks off at 3 p.m. in Mobile at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on the NFL Network.

Senior swimmer Steven Springer comes up for air during a swim meet against Harvard at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion Saturday, Jan. 21. OSU won the meet, 181-118.

OSU swimming teams near achievement in, out of pool Lisa Barefield Lantern reporter barefield.2@osu.edu The potent aroma of chlorine that hits the nose upon entering the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion smells like home to the undefeated men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams at Ohio State.

Nearly halfway through the 2012 season schedule, the players and coaches are closer to achieving their goals of capturing Big Ten titles and NCAA success.

Both the men’s and women’s teams are undefeated in dual meet competition and are led by a group of athletes who have posted commanding victories against every opponent they’ve met.

“We have swam and trained unbelievably hard so far this season,” said senior Stephen Sakaris.

“The training never stops. If you’re out of the pool for one day, when you get back in, you feel like you’ve missed a week.”

The women’s team, largely guided by junior Megan Detro, who set school records in the 100 free, 50 free and was on four relay teams that set school records.

Most recently, the women Buckeyes posted a 164.5-132.5 victory against the Michigan Wolverines which included individual wins in three freestyle events, the 100 and 200 breaststroke, 100

backstroke and three-meter diving competition among others.

The men’s team is preparing to take on Michigan this weekend.

“It’s always more intense when it’s your rival team,” said senior Matthieu Baumann. “It doesn’t matter about the time you have, as long as you touch the wall before Michigan, then you’ve done your job.”

Baumann said focus is what keeps his team moving.

“People know that when you’re in the pool, you’re in the pool, and nothing else matters,” he said. “People put aside all the academics and social part of their lives for the four hours of the day and just put in the hard work and get it done.”

However, academics are not ignored for long.

Once out of the water, the men’s team earned a combined 3.25 grade point average during Fall Quarter.

Three members of the team reached a perfect 4.0.

Even with a stellar GPA, members of the men’s team agree there is always room for improvement.

“What makes our team great is that everyone is looking for ways to get better,” Baumann said.

“Our coach loves to brag that he has 50 coaches at practice because he really preaches everyone to watch their peers and give them some sort of advice to get better.”

Both teams will travel to Iowa City, Iowa to compete in the Big Ten Championships in February.

The women’s team placed third last year, a 17-year best for the squad.

“We continue to improve,” said Bill Dorenkott, coach of the women’s swimming team. “’Better’ can be measured in a lot of ways, you know, points, times. Our goal is to be better at all the above.”

The Buckeyes have entered a taper phase, which is a time when athletes recover their muscles and restore their energy after long periods of high-volume training.

Practices become shorter during this time and as a result of the physical break, swimmers are able to move through the water faster and perform better.

“It’s the time of year that your body gets rest,” Dorenkott said. “Our goal is to peak for one performance, such as the Big Tens or NCAAs. All our focus, all our training goes into that.”

The women’s team will participate in the Shamrock Invitational this weekend in South Bend, Ind., while the men’s team hosts Penn State and Michigan at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion beginning at 6 p.m. Friday.

“We have the aerobic base built,” Sakaris said.

“Now it’s time to get the details of our race plans worked out, whether it’s not breathing off your walls or tucking up on the turn, this is the time we can really focus on and get better at those small things.”

Winter Jam puts Christian bands on top Amber Evans Lantern reporter evans.1268@osu.edu

Post-hardcore band A Lot Like Birds set to flock into town Check thelantern.com for a story about A Lot Like Birds, scheduled to play at The Basement at 7 p.m. Jan. 25.

When seeking motivation and positive energy, some people choose to exercise. But for the musicians and artists in Winter Jam 2012, spreading faith through music is where they find hope.

Heralded as Christian music’s largest annual tour, more than 10 Christian bands and solo artists are a part of Winter Jam 2012. Ohio native Sanctus Real and tour headliner, Skillet, are among the list of bands scheduled to perform at the Schottenstein Center Saturday. Doors open at 5 p.m.

“The music at Winter Jam is all genres of music,” said Nick Hall, a speaker on the tour. “They happen to be all Christian artists, but that doesn’t mean it’s all explicitly Christian music. It’s just positive music about life and about family and certainly about faith. ... It’s powerful.”

The bands featured in Winter Jam were chosen by popularity and by fans’ requests.

Winter Jam began its first tour in 1995. Last year, the attendance at Winter Jam exceeded the size of audiences for popular artists Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, according to Pollstar’s 2011 Worldwide First Quarter Ticket Sales “Top 100 Tours” chart.

“It started just kind of as a one-night deal 17 years ago,” Hall said. “They just said, ‘What would it look like if we just put on a really good show and made it really affordable, so that anybody could come out and have a good time?’ Last year, this time, it was the largest attended tour in the world between January and March.”

Grammy Award-nominated Sanctus Real is returning to the Winter Jam tour since its first time in 2007 . Mark Graalman, the drummer of Sanctus Real, remembers when the band was one of the opening acts for Winter Jam five years ago.

“We had like 15 minutes and we got to play like three songs,” Graalman said. “Now, jump ahead five years, and this year (Winter Jam) is letting us play right before Skillet. ... It’s a huge blessing.”

Sanctus Real has been together for 15 years.

Among spreading hope, family values and faith through its music, the band said it has continued to hold humility as a virtue.

Grammy Award-nominated Christian band Sanctus Real is scheduled to perform as part of Winter Jam, set to take place at 6 p.m. Jan. 28 at the Schottenstein Center.

“If you’re ever feeling like a cocky rock star one second, you just wait until you go home on Monday morning and you have to change poopy diapers,” Graalman said. “That’s going to humble you pretty quick.”

Both Graalman and Hall said that Winter Jam 2012 will host a very diverse group of performers with different music styles, but who all share a genuine love for God and Jesus.

“I think it would overall be positive,” said Samuel

McCoy, a fourth-year in biology. “I understand that for a lot of people (Christian music) is meaningful and they do enjoy it and listen to it a lot. So having that, especially in the winter when people are mostly stuck inside ... having an excuse to go out, have some fun with friends, is always, always needed.”

Entry into Winter Jam 2012 is $10 and can be paid at the door.

Stephen Colbert, Herman Cain highlight flaws of primary system in faux race

“50/50” “real steel” “Tyler Perry Presents meet the browns: season 4”

Stephen Colbert, of “The Colbert Report” announced on Jan. 12 that he would explore the chance of running for “President of the United States of South Carolina.” The only problem was, he was more than two months late to put his name in the running, and there was no option for write-in votes.

The solution for Colbert’s late entry seemed quite simple: Herman Cain, a former Republican hopeful that dropped out of the race about a month prior to the South Carolina primary.

Even though Cain suspended his campaign, his name remained on the ballot. So Colbert urged voters to vote for Cain if they wanted him to further explore the candidacy.

Colbert’s attempt at running for presidency was to point out the flaws of the political system and the ridiculousness of campaign financial law. I thoroughly enjoyed the actions Colbert was taking at pointing out the issues in place today.

As a journalism student, I feel like I should be in the know of all things political and electionbased news, but the sad truth is I’m not.

I can’t get past the digs that each candidate makes toward their opponents. I understand it is a contest of sorts, and the grand

CAITLYN WASMUNDT wasmundt.1@osu.edu prize of the presidential election is to be the leader of the free world. But do they really need to do what they’re doing?

How am I supposed to make an informed decision on which candidate to choose when they are throwing mud at each other?

Finally though, I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel when Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” announced he would form an “exploratory committee to become President of the United States of South Carolina.”

His “exploratory campaign” may come off as a joke to most, but Colbert has done more through his faux candidacy to highlight important issues facing America than any of the honest campaigns have managed.

With each stage of his exploratory committee, Colbert revealed more about the candidacies’ work behind the scenes.

The comedians have used Colbert’s candidacy and the super PAC, or political action committee, to demonstrate the flaws of a system that has been in place for years. For example, candidates cannot directly coordinate with their super PACs, but it’s OK to communicate through the media, as Newt Gingrich did with his PAC. Sadly, Colbert, via Cain, only received a little more than 6,000 votes, according to WYFF 4, a local news station in South Carolina. But in a way, that is impressive for someone who pulled out of the race a month ago. Cain’s 1 percent vote beat out other candidates who dropped out of the race prior to the South Carolina preliminaries also, such as Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.

I hope Colbert’s humorous attempt to become President of the United States of South Carolina could open the eyes of the candidates who are actually running, not only during this preliminary round, but also during the actual election period.

Obviously there is some kind of following for this honest and entertaining approach.

CSO concert aims to showcase Gershwin music in rhapsody Collin Howard Lantern reporter howard.772@osu.edu

We’re on Twitter.

@LanternAE

The Columbus Symphony Orchestra will hold another weekend performance full of guests, music and compositions paying homage to George and Ira Gershwin.

“The Gershwins’ Here to Stay,” featuring pianist Kevin Cole, vocalist Sylvia McNair and tap dancer Ryan Van de Boom, will be at the Ohio Theatre at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Cole will help lead the program during its visit to Columbus. According to his website, Cole is regarded as “the foremost interpreter of George Gershwin compositions according to members of the Gershwin family.”

Cole doesn’t just know the music he will be playing, he loves it . When creating the event, he

had one stipulation: The program “had to talk about Gershwin as a human being, not just a musician,” Cole said.

He said this is a special performance.

“You get the full spectrum of what George and Ira (Gershwin) intended,” Cole said.

MacNair, two-time Grammy Award-winning guest vocalist will join Cole for the performance. McNair has been featured several times prior with the orchestra.

Steve Wedell, a full-time violist for the symphony and a lecturer in the school of music, said he looks forward to working with McNair. He said McNair has begun to crossover into more popular music.

“She’s a great artist, so you would expect her to be able to really do really well at whatever style she wants to sing,” Wedell said.

In addition to the excitement of working with McNair, Wedell said this concert is a little different and lets the symphony show its “other persona.”

“Usually you think of a symphony orchestra as playing classical music and music from the past, but this particular weekend is what we call a ‘pops concert’ and so the whole programming venue is based on the idea of featuring popular music,” Wedell said.

Randall Hester, full-time flutist for the symphony, said he enjoys the opportunity of working with guest musicians as well.

“When new musicians come, it’s always nice to hear new approaches to the repertoire, and we always learn from them,” Hester said.

Tickets are $23-$68 and can be purchased at the Ohio Theatre Ticket Office (39 E. State St.), and all Ticketmaster outlets. Students between the ages of 13-19 may purchase $5 PNC All Access tickets while available.
