No plan in place for when agreement between Schott, Nationwide ends in June KELSEY BULLER Oller projects reporter buller.10@osu.edu Nearly seven months after a one-year contract was signed putting Ohio State in charge of managing both the Schottenstein Center and Nationwide Arena, no plans have been made for when the agreement expires June 30.

The deal has provisions that provide for extensions of either month-to-month or yearly after this date, said Xen Riggs, assistant vice president of OSU’s Ofÿce of Administration and Planning.

Riggs was responsible for the oversight of the Schottenstein Center, along with other major events on campus. He helped work through the details of the general goals for the partnership on a daily basis.

OSU and Nationwide aren’t taking the fast track

to decide what will come next for the long-term contract between the venues.

“I don’t think anybody’s in a monstrous hurry,” Riggs told The Lantern. “We want to do it right and we want to do it well.

We want to make sure the structure beneÿts the community and university in the most advantageous ways.”

Xen Riggs Riggs said there are ideas being thrown around for the new contract that still need to be reÿned, but overall, there won’t be much difference on how the venues operate. No ideas were disclosed to The Lantern, since they are still in the works.

“It’s really just structure that will be put in place,”

Riggs said. “One nice thing about being into this (seven) months is we’ve got (seven) months of experience and history. Now that we know each other better, we know what works best.”

Karen Davis, director of business communications for the Columbus Blue Jackets, said the focus on the contract is now on leveraging combined resources to provide the best entertainment and event experience for customers.

However, she reiterated there are no immediate timetables dictating discussions regarding the future of the agreement.

OSU and Nationwide joined forces for ÿnancial and marketing reasons. Ofÿcials felt it was also the right thing to do for the community.

“The synergies between the two venues is better

Future Ohio State entrepreneurs learned the pitfalls and returns of starting a business from Jaisen Freeman and Jeff Wright, OSU alumni and managing partners of Phusion Projects, the distributor for Four Loko.

The Phusion Projects partners were the keynote speakers at the Business Builders Club Entrepreneurship Spectacular Friday afternoon in the Performance Hall of the Ohio Union. Chris Hunter, the third partner in Phusion Projects, was unable to make the event, due to ° ight delays.

Wright and Freeman spoke to an audience of about 100, telling the story of Phusion Projects, from their parents investing retirement funds into the newly formed company, to the Food and Drug Administration-instated Four Loko ban in November that garnered nightly news coverage.

They laughed over an unexpected “Saturday Night Live” skit that mocked the number of servings in a can of Four Loko and ingredients used, and their business partner, Chris Hunter.

“When you’re on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ I guess you have to laugh,” Freeman said.

Wright and Freeman explained their system of outsourcing the production of their beverage to existing breweries.

Wright showed the audience a picture of a Scion modiÿed with a Four Loko can on top, calling it the biggest waste of money.

“I think I took that can off six or seven times, because I would drive into parking garages and they were too low,” Wright said, “I would look in my rearview mirror and it was smashed like a tuna can.”

Wright called Phusion Projects a “virtual

Freegans salvage food dumpster diving JUDY SAMSON Lantern reporter samson.27@osu.edu Among the annual dumpster divers, the treasure hunters and the homeless people, there are “freegans.”

Freegans, a term that combines free and vegan, dumpster dive for food, though not always because they need to, but to make a political statement about the wastefulness of society.

“Freeganism — it’s a consciousness about the system of consumption in the post-industrialized world and praxis built on that knowledge,” said freegan Gio Andollo, who volunteers to show media the ropes of freeganism and dumpster diving for freegan.info.

Though always frugal with his money and resources, Andollo said he never considered himself a “consumerist-type person.” In the beginning, he mostly dove for economic reasons. “(Dumpster diving is) something we’re seeing some people do not by choice, just because of the economy and the way it is,” said Colin Baumgartner, communication director from the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. “Folks are struggling to make ends meet.”

Jordan Myers, a second-year in zoology, wouldn’t call himself a freegan, but strives toward the philosophy of freeganism.

“I’ve been a vegan for two years and that’s a very huge part of my life,” Myers said. “I’m also an anarchist, so the whole freegan part, the whole anti-consumerism, basically sticking it to capitalism and not buying anything — that really appeals to me.”

He volunteers for the Columbus chapter of Food Not Bombs, a non-hierarchal organization that dumpster dives for food and then donates it to the less fortunate.

“Diving for food, you associate that more with the homeless or less fortunate,” Myers said. “But there are also just some trendy and frugal people out there who just really want to appreciate everything.”

Trash tours, organized within the freegan.info group and the Food Not Bombs organization, happen during the night when most businesses are closed. They are normally planned out ahead in groups and are scheduled a couple times a month.

Items such as potatoes, celery, bread, dairy products and even eggs can be found in the dumpster and, according to the freegans, are perfectly edible.

Whatever food that freegans or the volunteers of Food Not Bombs ÿnd are used the next day for a potluck.

Freegans mostly ÿnd packaged foods and although not all freegans are actually vegan, most tend to stay clear of meat products due to risk of bacteria.

“We take the food back to the site and prepare a meal,” Myers said. “(Food Not Bombs) volunteers eat alongside the less fortunate and talk and get to know each other.”

On Myers’ ÿrst trash tour, he was taken to several different grocery stores on state Route 161.

Myers always knew food was wasted, but was still shocked when he and his friend were able to ÿll his car to the brim with food found from dumpsters.

“Every single point of my car was full to the point that (my friend) was stooped over the console with food on his neck,” Myers said. “I was just blown away because we didn’t pick up all the food and we only hit (some) places.”

There was another instance when he was able to get several commercialsized bags of bakery items from a grocery store.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s website, almost 100 billion pounds of food is wasted each year in the U.S.

campus OUAB creators celebrate century mark MIKE HUGHES Lantern reporter hughes.1217@osu.edu In a scheduling coincidence that gave one member of the Ohio Union’s Board of Overseers chills, the group met Thursday on its 100th anniversary.

The Board of Overseers created the Ohio Union Activities Board and watched over the original Ohio Union.

“I wonder what they discussed at that ÿrst meeting,” said Matt Couch, director of Student Life Orientation. “I wonder if they knew people 100 years from then would still notice.”

Until a retreat a few weeks ago, no one on the Board of Overseers, now called the Ohio Union Council, noticed the anniversary. It was not until Couch was asked to give a lecture on OUAB’s history on Jan. 8 that he found the date. OUAB’s history can be traced back to 1927, when the position of activities director for the Ohio Union was created to coordinate an increasing number of Union-sponsored programs, according to OUABprovided documents.

“It was an odd coincidence and sheer luck,” Couch said. “The records from back then are pretty bad.”

Couch said some information gathered on the

history of the Ohio Union and Board of Overseers was found only after ° ipping through old yearbooks in university archives.

Tracy Stuck, assistant vice president for Student Life, said a board member randomly picked the same date as the ÿrst board.

“It gives me the chills,” Stuck said.

In its ÿrst incarnation, the Board of Overseers watched over the ÿrst Union, now known as Enarson Hall, which cost $95,000 at a time when 3,000 students were enrolled in the university, according to Ohio Union Council historical documents. Those same documents say the General Assembly of Ohio paid for all construction costs of the original Union.

The new Union opened on March 29, 2010, and cost $118 million when more than 55,000 students were enrolled at OSU’s main campus. University funds and reserves, private donations, contract agreements and a Student Union Facility Fee assessed to students paid for the project.

“We were the ÿrst public institution to have a student union,” Stuck said.

The Ohio Union, which opened May 1, 1911, could only be used with a special invitation. The Student Activity Fee, charged to all male students, was $1 per semester, according to Union-provided documents.

Even though 500 women were enrolled at Ohio State in 1911, a women’s union, now Pomerene Hall, was not opened until 1924, according to Unionprovided documents.

Ohio Union Council celebrates its 100th anniversary – Special invitation was needed to use the Ohio Union when it first opened in 1911.

– Enarson Hall, Ohio State’s original union that opened in 1911, cost $95,000 to build.

– The new Union, which opened in March, cost $118 million.

– Hosting an average of 58 events a day, the new Ohio Union sees up to 20,000 students a day.

“The Ohio Union is so much more than a building for a lot of people,” said Ashley Sinram, chair of the Ohio Union Council. “It’s interesting how student organizations have such a rich history.”

The new Union, according to Stuck, hosts an average of 58 events and 12,000 to 20,000 students each day.

Stuck said the new Union is burying a time

capsule later this year that will be ÿlled with a list of every group and entertainer that used the new Union in its ÿrst year and pictures of the Union itself.

“We are the group that will start new traditions,” Stuck said. “It’s interesting to think what we are doing now that people will talk about in 100 years.”

Report: First two college years more social than educational THOMAS BRADLEY Lantern reporter bradley.321@osu.edu Students spend the ÿrst two years of college socializing, joining student clubs and working, but for nearly half of undergraduate students, learning is not happening, a new report says.

A new book, co-authored by sociology professors Richard Arum, of New York University, and Josipa Roksa, of University of Virginia, “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses,” said attendance in colleges and universities is constantly increasing, despite the lack of focus on learning.

A new standardized test called the College Learning Assessment was given to 2,300 students in their ÿrst semester at 24 different institutions. The test was then given again to the same students at the end of their second year of college. The test measured a wide range of skills including critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing. The study said 45 percent of students show no signiÿcant gain in learning in their ÿrst two years of college.

The issue is not that students are not getting good grades or failing out of college. Arum said the students who studied, on average, received a 3.2 grade point average. He said students were able to navigate through classes with relative ease, without really learning anything.

The study said professors spend much of their time on research and development in their ÿeld and that large lower-level courses are not a priority.

Emily Widener, a second-year in communication, said she has learned a lot of information, but a lot of it had nothing to do with her major.

Widener also said some of the professors in large general education curriculum classes showed little to no interest in teaching, but rather throwing out information and expecting students to regurgitate the facts.

“I feel like some professors only teach the lower-level classes because they have to,” Widener said. “It’s almost like they don’t care about the class, and it re° ects in the way they present information.”

Widener said her ÿrst year-and-a-half is partly an expansion on high school. Widener has taken three quarters of Spanish at Ohio State, but said she didn’t learn anything more than what she learned in high school.

The study said one of the main problems with the modern model of higher education is that colleges simply do not make learning a priority.

Socializing distracts students, and today’s culture places undergraduate learning near the bottom of students’ priority list.

Alex Lefeld, a fourth-year in theater, said he has learned signiÿcantly more during his third and fourth years of college than his ÿrst two years.

He said a lot of his classes in his ÿrst two years were boring GECs that lacked much learning.

“The 100-level English I took was all about rhetoric and was very

opinionated. Since it was all opinion, I learned almost nothing,” Lefeld said.

Lefeld also said in some of his larger classes such as math or sociology, there was no connection between the lecturer and the student, and that made for a difÿcult learning environment. Lefeld said in one of his larger GEC classes, the level the lecturer cared about the class surprised him.

“This lecturer actually visited all the different recitation courses from time to time to see how the students were doing,” Lefeld said.

The study also broke down how an average student spends his or her time. It found that students spend 51 percent of their time socializing, 24 percent sleeping, 9 percent working, volunteering or at student clubs, 9 percent attending class and 7 percent studying.

When presented with this information, Widener said this sounded identical to how she spends her time.

“The ÿrst year of college is all about socializing and getting involved in different clubs and organizations,” Widener said. “Ohio State really tries to push us to ÿnd the balance between our social life and our studies.”

Arenas from 1A

Without Jackets Columbus is in trouble, professor says than it was when we were competing against each other,” Riggs said.

When the arenas were competing against each other before the contract on non-sporting events, they often undercut each other’s efforts to land events, causing the winning venue to actually lose money, said Stephen Buser, an OSU professor emeritus of ÿnance who conducted a report on the ÿnancial viability of the National Hockey League franchise in 2009.

OSU President E. Gordon Gee agreed that “having two competing arenas in which each are undercutting each other creates a level of competition that is unhealthy.”

OSU now handles booking for concerts and other non-athletic events for both arenas. Tickets for events can be purchased at both venues.

Instead of duplicating efforts on marketing, the venues have combined all marketing tactics. More time and money can now be spent on cross-promotion and gaining larger audiences for events.

“The co-management relationship offers us more opportunities at reaching our core audience in the Columbus area by being able to now market our shows across both venues and their customer bases,” said Donna Larkin Lake, public relations manager of Feld Entertainment, a production company that brought “Disney on Ice” to Nationwide last week.

Riggs said the vision of joint marketing tactics is to enhance Columbus as a destination for concerts and live events by providing marketing and other tools that might not be available in other cities.

Financially, combined marketing tools have brought the venues big savings and revenue.

According to Riggs, the collaboration was hitting and exceeding the expected ÿnancial and programmatic outcomes they anticipated. However, there are no speciÿc target numbers in the contract.

Before the contract, Nationwide was in contract with SMG, a Pennsylvania-based management corporation that handles booking for events.

Eliminating this management fee has also helped save money between the two venues. The estimated cost savings for both arenas from consolidation in terms of management will be close to $1 million for both arenas, Gee said.

“From the Blue Jackets’ perspective, we’ve been very pleased with the partnerships,” Davis said. “The consolidation of duties in some areas and sharing of best practices has been mutually beneÿcial, as we had hoped it would.”

Gee credits the success of the contract to Riggs.

“He’s a magician,” Gee said. “He’s one of the best in the business in managing these large arenas.

In fact, that’s why we have someone like him here who can escalate the use of both of those arenas in good ways so that we all beneÿt from it, as a community and as a university.”

Another agreement beneÿt for OSU is the use of Nationwide Arena for its hockey team.

“I think that would be a great place for them to play,” Gee said. “I don’t want to move them entirely off campus, but the more we can integrate ourselves in the city, I would welcome that.”

In Buser’s NHL report, he found the Blue Jackets lose between $4 and $5 million a year in management fees. According to his study, the team has been losing an estimated $12 million annually.

Despite this money loss, the level of tax revenues generated by the Blue Jackets in terms of accelerated growth of business in the Arena District is more impressive than is the case of the typical city hosting an NHL team, Buser said.

“I discovered that other cities now look to Columbus as a new model for development in and around a hockey arena,” Buser told The Lantern. “The visiting cities were stunned to see that strong business development continued in the Arena (District) even during the worst of the recent recession.”

Buser also said other cities have concluded the Blue Jackets, Nationwide and the Arena District provide a virtual money machine for the generation of business development and local tax revenues.

The only ÿnancial fear Buser has is if Columbus loses the Blue Jackets.

“Development of the Arena District could easily stagnate or even reverse the current trend and Columbus, Franklin County and the state of Ohio would suffer tremendous losses in current and future tax revenues,” he said.

The only struggle the venues have faced so far deals with the economy of the concert business.

“The number of tours out on the road has been a little lower than it has in past years, but that seems like it might be coming back,” Riggs said.

Riggs estimated the number of major tours through Columbus has been down by as much as 20 to 25 percent.

Earlier reports of the initial contract speculated ticket prices for events would be cheaper with this contract. Riggs said the concert business doesn’t work this way.

“We’ve said that from the beginning,” he said. “It really wouldn’t have any impact on ticket prices. The market is the market regardless of those factors.”

Venue ofÿcials don’t know where the decision making process on the long-term contract will be in the next six months, but said they have good ideas in the works.

“I don’t think anybody wants to put a hard timeline on it because that’s not our intent,” he said. “We’ve got a long way to go and (ÿve) months sounds like a long time, but it’s really not for a project like this.”

Four Loko from 1A

Virginia recycler was distilling old Lokos into ethanol brewery.” All their production is contracted out, and the product is shipped directly to distributors. Phusion doesn’t actually handle the product at all. Wright said overhead costs are very low for their company, partly because their home ofÿce in Chicago is a P.O. Box at the UPS Inc. Store.

Wright said Four Loko evolved in ° avors, names, sales and alcohol content. Starting at 12 proof, the product eventually doubled that.

“The growth was phenomenal and very difÿcult to manage,” Wright said. “We ran into numerous stock outs, our canning company couldn’t supply us with enough cans, distributors were out of inventory. No one was prepared for that type of growth.”

When the FDA announced the combination of alcohol and caffeine was dangerous in

November, Phusion had 2 million cases in the warehouse of their brewery that could not be sold. This un-sellable product was valued at $30 million.

The Washington Post reported on Jan. 7 a Virginia recycler was distilling the unusable product into ethanol.

“We decided our only bet was to move through this, the three business partners put more money back into the company and kept all our employees; no one was laid off,” Wright said. “In two weeks, we were producing the non-caffeinated version and were back into many states that had previously banned us.”

For Business Builders Club president Nils Root, a fourth-year in ÿnance, the visit demonstrated the application of real business lessons.

“To end with Four Loko was pretty incredible,” Root said. “Ohio State alumni, guys that are putting these academic theories into practice; they had such great success; it’s inspiring, its entertaining, it was great. We’ll chalk today up as a success.”

Dumpster from 1A

Freegan philosophy includes hitchhiking and “couchsurfing” “There’s no such thing as ‘away.’ It doesn’t just disappear, it’s somewhere,” Andollo said. “We don’t have an unlimited amount of space to put all of our waste.”

Dumpster diving is not the only part of the freegan philosophy.

Andollo said hitchhiking, or “couchsurÿng” (a network of travelers who lend a couch to those who need one) are perfect examples of the freegan philosophy.

“What freeganism is about is not just the consciousness, but then using that knowledge to in° uence the way we live our lives. It’s not just

Root emphasized the true-to-life business lessons being demonstrated behind a product shrouded in controversy.

“Behind this crazy product and crazy media hoopla, that there’s a real business being run, there are real strategies being put in place, and that a lot of what happened wasn’t luck and wasn’t on accident,” Root said.

Matt Hill, ÿnancial director of the NeuroAnesthesiology Research Department at OSU Medical Center and a 2010 OSU business graduate, liked hearing the story of the rise, ban and what the company is doing to bounce back.

“I remember when they launched at Ohio State, and they had that goofy car driving around. The stuff tasted awful,” Hill said.

“Meeting them in person just reinforces that they’re good guys trying to build a business and they weren’t trying to make kids get inebriated and do dangerous things.”

Mike Hughes contributed to this story.

consumption; it’s everything,” Andollo said. “There’s the whole reduce, reuse and recycle (idea).”

It’s legal to dumpster dive in Columbus, according to the Columbus Police Department, as long as there are no signs stating that it is private property or the dumpsters are not fenced in.

“I don’t really care to look up the laws,” Myers said. “If it was illegal, I would keep diving, regardless.”

While most people would worry about bacteria and food poisoning from dumpster diving, Myers has never heard of anyone getting sick.

Andollo said what is disgusting is how much food is wasted.

“As long as the food is properly washed and cooked, you can avoid such complications,” Andollo said. “The same is true whether you got a food item off the shelf or the curb.”

student voice Diagnosis: inflamed rhetoric and bulging discourse Instead of speaking their minds, politicians and media figures are apologizing for using their rights to free speech LA NTER N Columnist

During a recent checkup, the doctor diagnosed Uncle Sam with an inflamed rhetoric and a bulging discourse.

“No worries, doc,” Sam replied.

“It’s always been like that.”

And for the most part, he was right. In fact, most debate that took place during our nation’s infancy was far worse than what is happening today.

But now many people, especially politicians and media figures, are trying to improve the toxic rhetoric BRAD MILLER plaguing the nation. miller.4410@osu.edu Last week, CNN anchor John King apologized for a guest on his show who used the phrase, “in the crosshairs.” King informed the audience that “we are trying to get away from using that kind of language.” Fortunately, because it was on CNN, very few people heard it.

Another example came from House Speaker John Boehner. Instead of describing Obamacare as “job-killing,” he used the more civilized adjective, “job-destroying.”

These ridiculous and downright laughable instances are becoming more common. Since the shooting in Arizona three weeks ago, there has been a call for civility in our political dialogue. Defenders of the movement want so badly to blame language for Jared Loughner’s shooting spree.

Unfortunately for them, the evidence does not verify their claim. As far as we know, Loughner could have been provoked by people being nice to one another.

The issue is not with civility itself. The problem, especially in politics, is that it opposes human nature.

These are very heated times in American politics. Sometimes things will be said that wouldn’t be said around the dinner table. But trying to monitor the words that come out of someone’s mouth in such a heated debate is like putting a muzzle on the family dog when someone is breaking into the house.

CNN apologizing for “in the crosshairs” is demeaning to the audience and embarrassing for the network. It is likely nobody watching

even realized it until King went out of his way to bring it up.

And what will Boehner do the next time he slips up and says “job-killing?” Will he stop discussion and apologize? “Oops, sorry.

I meant to say job-stabbing. I mean job-torturing. I mean … when’s lunch?”

The attention given to political discourse was fun for a while, but it is now becoming exceedingly ridiculous. Although I do enjoy the humor it has provided, all jokes must someday be laid to rest.

Therefore, I feel a strong desire to take aim and fire back at the attempts at language cleansing. I encourage all people to stand on the front lines and defend speech.

I understand that this might trigger some opposition. Some will probably think I am just adding fuel to the fire or dropping bombs, but I’m going to stick to my guns on this one. Again, I do not mean to beat a dead horse or simply sift through the bullet points, but we are staring down the barrel of censorship.

When we arm ourselves with common sense and are not held hostage by childish political correctness, we can more easily defend our liberties. Because I hate seeing our right to free speech being caught in the crosshairs.

Think before you ink sher yl ro adc ap Lantern columnist roadcap.2@osu.edu Upon hearing the news that Kat Von D, tattoo artist and reality star of “LA Ink” on TLC, and Jesse James, reality star of “Monster Garage” on the Discovery Channel, were recently engaged, it got me thinking once again about the fairly recent spike in the popularity of tattoos. Tattoos are certainly an art form to be appreciated and often can be a means for healing after a difficult life experience, but all too often people tattoo themselves simply because it is trendy.

It seems like this is especially popular among college-aged people who are barely old enough to buy alcohol, yet have already made the decision to mark their body for life. I am not suggesting tattoos have only just gained favor, for it is well known they have been widely appreciated among rebels and soldiers since WWI and II and have slowly grown in popularity since the early ‘90s, with Pamela Anderson’s famous barbed-wire bicep tattoo. But within the last five years, the interest has definitely peaked.

Tattoos look absolutely awesome on some people, and are truly fitted to their personalities, but then there are others who look like they are trying too hard to get attention. I have several female acquaintances that have more than just a pair of cute hearts or a cool phrase on their body. I’m talking about full-on arm-sleeves and/or heavy chest tattoos.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to dog on tattoos or the tattooed, as I am in the process of conceptualizing a memorial tattoo in honor of my late son. But what I am trying to say is that people should recognize a tattoo as a long-term commitment. Many young people would probably never consider getting married and making that type of a commitment so early in life, yet do not think twice about marking their body for life. Personally, I have considered getting a tattoo more than once, but for me, so far, it just has not been right. I would think, ‘When I’m 50, walking on the beach with my grandchild, am I still going to want that Playboy bunny tattoo near my bikini line?’ Hmm, I think not.

However, if that is who you truly are, like Kat Von D, then I say great! Get as many as you like. People should absolutely be who they are and be free to express themselves, but if that is not who you know,

Logging onto Facebook this week, I noticed an alarming trend: Those who chose to rush seemed to gain 60-100 friends within days.

That’s a little extreme.

In the day of the social network, the term “friend” is thrown around more freely than a Frisbee in springtime.

Even the people who make the definitions make a provision for the social network: Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines a friend as one attached to another by affection or esteem, or simply “acquaintance.”

To quell my own curiosity, I asked several people what the word “friend” meant to them.

Christi Salchak, a substitute high school teacher, defines a friend as “someone who knows your heart, someone close to you who you’d spend time with.”

That certainly sounds more like Merriam-Webster’s first definition.

Salchak has a Facebook herself. Though she has an estimated 460 Facebook friends, she estimates she has far fewer “close friends” who adhere to her definition. She describes a “Facebook friend” as a “range of people, from someone you feel is a close friend, to acquaintances.”

Many share similar sentiments.

“A friend is someone who would make a good Catch Phrase or Pyramid partner,” said Mike Nickels, a second-year in industrial and systems engineering at Wright

State. Catch Phrase and Pyramid are games in which someone gives verbal clues to his or her partners in hopes of getting them to guess a certain word or phrase. Typically, the better one understands his or her partner, the more success he or she has.

A common denominator is the word “trust.” Trust is one of the most important and rare privileges given to someone. How many of your Facebook friends would you entrust a secret to?

Overwhelmingly, the students and older adults I asked to define a “Facebook friend” answered simply, “someone you know” or “someone you have met once.” The average number of Facebook friends among those I questioned comes just shy of 400, while the average number of “close” friends people felt they

had falls consistently between five and 20.

That is a large disparity.

Not everyone is caught up in the virtual popularity contest. Many people use the social network as a tool to keep in touch with close friends from back home, or family members. A few of those surveyed don’t have a Facebook account at all.

Students without Facebook describe it as, “a waste of time that detracts from important things.”

Amanda Womack, an employee of the real estate firm, The Connor Group, said she didn’t want to get caught up in the “drama” of Facebook, and it was “just a way for people to be intrusive into my life.” She also noted the ability of potential employers to access personal information.

The social network is a useful and powerful tool. It should be used with caution and taken with a grain of salt. There is no substitute for a meaningful, loving friendship with someone. A true friend is invaluable and hundreds of online “acquaintances” simply won’t fill the void. Now don’t get me wrong, I have just as many “friends” as the next guy, but I try to keep that number in perspective. Thankfully, most people still know the real meaning of friendship, even if Mark Zuckerberg and the people at Facebook do not.

really think about it before you tattoo yourself. And remember, what you think is cool at 20 years old is not going to be what you will think is cool at 30 or 40. I guarantee it.

Encourage others to ‘make a good day’ Those who know me understand that I am the queen of cards. If there is not a holiday card for a holiday I want, I simply will design my own and have them printed or make up a new holiday card tradition. I have friends very excited for the Groundhog Day cards I designed and already had printed for this year.

January has a lot going on.

One of my favorite things about the month is that I get to snail mail out my “National Mentoring Month” cards.

When I think of the people that I have learned lessons from or that they took the time to invest in me, I remember my favorite teacher from high school, Mr. Mike Manoloff. That class was my most challenging class my senior year. It rivaled physics and calculus.

This was because Mr. Manoloff had the kind of pedagogy and style of teaching that transcended the subject being taught. He really wanted the class to think complexly about what he was teaching.

Advanced Placement government proved to challenge me and him that year.

There was one occasion that made me think he did not like me. I was able to negotiate with him on his curriculum to read a different outside book than the ones that were on his list. I was again the only black

person in an advanced class and wanted to read something that was challenging and at the same time spoke to the political history of black folks in America.

Mr. Manoloff agreed to let me read and analyze “Souls on Ice”

by Eldridge Cleaver instead of a Tom Clancy novel assigned to the class.

When I received my paper back I was happy with the grade until I saw the words, “come see me after class.” I always am the person getting in trouble for being outside the box. During our one-on-one I was admittedly scared and then I realized that day that my teacher might like me after all. Mr. Manoloff wanted to know if I was adopting any of the radical black power movement ideas that Cleaver was arguing. I laugh now to think about it. This was a way that this military man wanted

to show me he cared. Now all these years later I realize that being creative and disciplined together is dynamic. He always listened to my crazy ideas and gave great feedback.

And he never, even to this day, allows me to settle for just excellence. He is always the person motivating me to procure every gift and talent. I could be better than the level I set for myself. Leave no opportunity wasted.

The world needs more mentors who are like Mr. Manoloff; the kind of teacher who thinks of you holistically and does not know the meaning of settling. We can always be better than who we are right now. Each tomorrow brings with it the opportunity to give. Mr. Manoloff adhered to the doctrine of “paying it forward” and also that we should exhaust our gifts in the effort to help others.

Take the time out to do something for the people whom you deem mentors. Most of the time they never know you would think so highly of them. There is no greater honor than the opportunity to tell people how we appreciate them.

Today is your occasion.

“Make a good day,” as Mr. Manoloff would say. And remember we do not achieve in isolation, it is because of the support of others that we reach our eminence.

Broadway needs better heroes It takes a good deal for a theater production to make a splash in entertainment, as it has to compete with all the movies and music in the headlines. “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” has the potential.

First, it’s the most expensive production in Broadway history, at $65 million (The budget of “Jurassic Park” was $63 million). Second, it’s got Bono and The Edge of U2 composing the music, and Broadway mainstay Julie Taymor directing (she also directed “The Lion King” musical and the film “Across The Universe”). Third, it’s about Spider-Man. Unfortunately, its splash is turning out to R YAN BOOK be a splat. book.15@osu.edu The New York Times reported technical difficulties and injuries involving the musical’s aerial sequences have caused the opening date to be moved back three times.

A stunt double broke both of his wrists, the actress playing new villain Arachne suffered a concussion and was forced to pull out, and another cast member fell more than 20 feet into the orchestra pit when his harness came unattached.

All the hype coupled with the following bad news has made critics skeptical already. I’m one to agree with the cynics. One way all of these problems could have been avoided was to think about the subject matter. Sure, superheroes are big right now, but Spider-Man wasn’t the best choice for a Broadway musical.

Here are some heroes that might have been a better choice.

Spider-Man, the Green Goblin and Mary Jane Watson all make an appearance in ‘Spider-Man: T urn Off T he Dark,’ the most expensive Broadway musical ever. Producers delayed the official opening of the play three times because of safety issues.

Batman This one is obvious. Batman’s lack of actual powers means you don’t need the technical shenanigans of “Turn Off The Dark.” He might swoop in on a zipline, but he’s not going to have any aerial battles.

Batman’s villains are relatively simple in comparison to Spider-Man’s enemies.

The Joker has face paint. The Green Goblin flies on a hovercraft. Two-Face has one side of his face mutilated. Dr. Octopus has a bionic suit with robotic arms.

You get the point.

Batman’s story gives him a solid emotional background as well. Peter Parker did lose his uncle, but Batman lost both of his parents. That’s tough.

The only downside to a Batman theater production would be the constant comparisons to the Christopher Nolan movie series, which sets a pretty high

standard. Critics and fans both love the films. If the play doesn’t live up to the film, critics would exaggerate any shortcomings to the nth degree.

The Hulk A regular joe who transforms into a monster when he gets angry. As Bruce Banner would tell you, turning into a 10-foot green guy with a temper causes all sorts of social issues, especially on the romantic front. That’s the stuff that dramas thrive on. Plus, the same play has already proven a success; it’s called “Jekyll and Hyde.”

I’ll grant you that The Hulk requires more special effects to pull off than Batman, but it’s totally possible. If you’ve seen Lady Gaga live, you know that she’s accompanied onstage by a “fame monster,” a 20-foot-tall animatronic Screening entity. Use strobe lights andof fogSteven machines Spielberg’s to give the actor Banner a chance to get off stage“Jaws” and replace him with The Hulk.

X-Men OK, maybe not X-Men per se. I envision this one as one of those plays in which there are only two characters who have extremely deep and poetic conversations throughout the course of a two-hour performance, such as Arthur Miller’s “I Can’t Remember Anything.” I had Professor Xavier and Magneto in mind.

The elder statesmen of the two mutant sides could discuss racism and prejudice in modern society, a common theme in the comics and movies. And, for added effect, the two could make the props fly around so their chats never get too boring.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, the duo who play the characters onscreen, are already seasoned stage actors, so it’s not that far of a stretch.

Admittedly, the idea of a Spider-Man musical is appealing. But a $65 million production for a show that won’t be able to adapt to stages outside of New York (if it can ever get off the ground on Broadway, no pun intended) leaves something to be desired.

Union to release discounted Cirque du Soleil tickets Sarah Suter Lantern reporter suter.35@osu.edu Ohio State students can buy tickets at a discount on Tuesday for the Cirque du Soleil performance “Dralion.”

Cirque du Soleil is a performance company that has travelled worldwide showcasing quirky talents with dynamic gymnastic routines. In February, the group will perform eight shows at the Schottenstein Center.

There are 100 tickets available for students and each ticket is $25, said Katie Tumblin, Ohio Union discount ticket program coordinator. The tickets will become available at 5 p.m. at the first floor information center.

“As long as you’re paying the Student Activity Fee you’re eligible, and you can get two tickets per BuckID,” she said.

Tumblin said she believes the tickets will sell quickly.

Tumblin said the event was selected for the discount because she received “a lot of feedback from the students saying that they’d like tickets for it.”

The tickets available are all for the Feb. 10 showing.

Leslie Lane, marketing director for the Schottenstein Center, said she is glad the Union is providing discounted tickets for students. Lane said the top price for Cirque du Soleil tickets is just under $100.

“We really do try to make sure that we can get some (discount) offers for our own backyard, that we’re taking care of campus,” she said. “We’re always cognizant of that.”

“Dralion,” which is one of the 20 shows Cirque du Soleil is currently involved in, was created in 1999. It portrays the four elements: earth, water, fire and air, and highlights harmony between nature and mankind. Julie Desmarais, a spokeswoman for Cirque du Soleil, said a lot of changes have been made in the show since its debut.

The show last came to Columbus in 2003, and the performers presented the show under a “big-top” circus tent.

“Dralion” has since been reformatted for an arena-style performance. There are a few veteran performers, but most of the cast is new. New music and a contortionist act have been added to the show.

“We really reinvent ourselves for every show, so there’s always something unique and no show resembles a previous show you’ve seen,” Desmarais said.

arts&life McCarthy hopes third film gets equal critical acclaim Ste ven Zeit chik The Los Angeles Times MCT Tom McCarthy, the director of acclaimed dramas “The Visitor” and “The Station Agent,” was on set in the locker room of a Long Island, N.Y., high school, working with a colorful trio of actors (Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Tambor and Bobby Cannavale) who play wrestling coaches in his new film, “Win Win,” an unusual amalgam of buddy comedy, family drama and high school sports movie.

For hours on end, McCarthy had the actors repeat just a few words, doing take after take with only slightly different inflections each time.

Ultimately, that day of work became little more than a blink-and-you’llmiss-it scene lasting a few seconds in the finished film, which premiered Friday night at the Sundance Film Festival ahead of its Los Angeles opening in March.

“Tom is adamant about exploring every possible variation,” said Michael London, who produced both “The Visitor” and “Win Win,” alluding to McCarthy’s perfectionist tweaking on scripts, on set and in the editing room. “It’s painful at times, but in the end it’s exhilarating because he gets to a place most directors never get to.”

That place is visited frequently in “Win Win,” with McCarthy again exploring the poetry of the everyday, in which the lives of normal people take unexpected turns, usually after a chance encounter with a stranger.

In the McCarthy canon, authenticity and nuance are prized. Characters are rarely all good or all bad, and they almost never say anything they wouldn’t say in real life.

“I would almost rather risk being boring as a writer than feel I’m manipulating an audience,” McCarthy said in an interview. “For 98 percent of our lives, we have boringness or stillness, and you can allow some of that in the movie.”

There is little, however, that’s boring about “Win Win,” which stuffs a surprising number of characters, genres and even laughs into its unassuming frame.

The movie begins with Mike Flaherty (Giamatti), a New Jersey father, lawyer and part-time high school wrestling coach facing financial troubles. After pulling a slightly underhanded move with an older client to make a few extra bucks, he finds he and wife Jackie (Amy Ryan) in a

complicated relationship with the man’s disaffected teenage grandson (newcomer Alex Shaffer), who has shown up unexpectedly from Ohio.

The boy is a gifted wrestler, and “Win Win” soon turns into a high school sports film before veering back to family drama — all while sprinkling in a buddy comedy via a relationship between Mike and childhood friend Terry (Cannavale). If “Black Swan” blends ballet with horror, thriller and other intense genres, “Win Win” does the same with less Hitchcockian ones.

The ability to tell believably human stories has helped make McCarthy a Sundance darling. “Station Agent,” about a relationship between a hot dog vendor and a dwarf, took the festival by storm in 2003 with its mix of eccentricity and empathy. In 2008, “The Visitor,” about a repressed professor’s relationship with a Syrian immigrant, gained a rare standing ovation from the festival’s jaded indie crowd.

It’s fitting that McCarthy keeps coming back. In a festival overrun with young filmmakers trying to tell intimate stories, McCarthy is the man they all want to be. “He makes it look so effortless,” London said, “because he puts in so much effort.”

McCarthy came to prominence as a character actor in movies as varied as “Michael Clayton” and “2012.” While some actors successfully transition to the other side of the camera (Clint Eastwood, Ben Affleck), McCarthy is the rare performer who also pens his own material, baking character shadings that might be left to an actor right into the script.

“As an actor, Tom sees things about performance that very few other directors would see, which helps him not only shoot the movie but write it,” said Giamatti on the set.

Even though it’s far more comedic than either of his two previous films, “Win Win” is also McCarthy’s most personal movie. A native New Jerseyian, the 44-year-old wrote the script with his childhood best friend, Joe Tiboni, a first-time writer (and now lawyer and suburban dad) who helped frame the story. And he chose wrestlers because he and Tiboni used to wrestle (“not very well,” Tiboni says) and came across a number of what McCarthy called “damaged kids who had something a little off about them.”

In casting the lead wrestler, McCarthy chose Shaffer, a real-life high school wrestling champion who had never acted before. That concerned pretty much everyone else working on the film, but the director was unbowed. “He had this authentic quality,” McCarthy said, “something that felt honest and original, that didn’t feel manipulated.”

Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (right) stars in director T om McCarthy’s film ‘Win-Win.’ Choosing Shaffer was part of McCarthy’s attempt to walk a fine line when depicting the suburbanites of “Win-Win.” “I didn’t want to condescend to these people, and I also didn’t want to sentimentalize them,” he said. “I just wanted you to feel what it was like to live with them.”

‘Idol’ puts Fox at top of Thursday Scott C olli ns The Los Angeles Times MCT “American Idol” pulled off a bit of a magic trick Thursday night, handing Fox its best ratings on the night since 1995 without seriously dragging down the other networks.

Fox moved “Idol” to a Wednesday-Thursday schedule this season after following a Tuesday-Wednesday pattern in years past. In its Thursday debut, “Idol” delivered an average of 22.9 million total viewers, according to the Nielsen Co. That was down a relatively modest 13 percent compared with last year’s Wednesday opener; not bad considering “Idol’s” age and the heightened competition on Thursday nights.

In the key category of adults aged 18 to 49, the decline was more dramatic. “Idol,” with new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, slipped to a 7.8 rating in that demographic, for a 23 percent loss compared with last season. That’s a fairly alarming drop for Fox and shows that “Idol” continues to erode much more quickly among young adults than it does among the general population.

Still, Fox easily sailed past its rivals on a Thursday, when lots of movie and other big advertising is floating around for the taking, and that has to be heartening news for a network that hasn’t been able to get arrested on Thursdays in years.

Schedulers and researchers were closely watching the results to see how “Idol” affected rivals, but the impact seems to have been minimal. CBS’ “Big Bang Theory”

delivered a 4.2 rating in viewers aged 18 to 49 (13.6 million viewers overall), which is almost exactly in line with where it’s been earlier this season.

During the 9 p.m. EST hour, Fox’s quirky procedural “Bones” got a lift from “Idol” and placed second to NBC’s block of “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” in 18-49 (3.9 rating vs. 3.6) and second to CBS’ “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” among total viewers (14.3 million vs.

BEN AXELROD Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu Winning 20 games in a season is nothing new to Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta. Winning 20 games before picking up his ÿrst loss, however, is a different story.

OSU’s 73-68 win against Illinois on Saturday advanced the Buckeyes’ record to 20-0 and earned Matta his 11th consecutive season with 20 or more wins as a college basketball head coach. Only Mark Few of Gonzaga has started his career with such a streak.

“It’s amazing,” Matta said. “You always want to get to 20. I mean, that was kind of like the benchmark for college basketball.”

The Buckeyes’ 20-0 start is OSU’s ÿrst since the 1961-62 season when the team started the season with a 22-0 record.

A season earlier, the 1960-61 squad got off to the best start in program history with a 27-0 record. Both of those teams went on to become the national runner-up in their respective seasons.

Despite the Buckeyes’ hot start, Matta said he hasn’t noticed anyone on his team pay any attention to it.

“I haven’t heard one guy say one word about not being beaten,” Matta said. “The focus has, I think, been primarily on who’s the next opponent, and you know, the job that we have to do to win that basketball game.”

Former Buckeye and 1979 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Lucas was named No. 8 Big Ten Icon JAMES OLDHAM Senior Lantern reporter oldham.29@osu.edu Sunset Park, located on Bellemonte Street in Middletown, Ohio, was once the Rucker Park of the Midwest — when summertime rolled around, professional and collegiate basketball players alike would swarm the courts, hoping to play a game of pickup basketball against the best players in the area.

One summer, former University of Dayton senior and captain Johnny Horan was matched up against a man named Jerry Lucas. Lucas absolutely destroyed him, embarrassing him on both ends of the court.

Horan, who had never heard of Lucas, went around asking the other players which college Lucas attended. He was impressed with what he saw, and he wanted to ÿnd out where Lucas went to school so that he might follow the young man’s career.

“He was told that Lucas was a sophomore, so he asked, ‘What college does he go to?’ and he was told, ‘Well, he’s a sophomore in high school. He’s a 10th-grader,’” said Lee Caryer, Buckeye basketball historian and author of “The Golden Age of Ohio State Basketball.”

Throughout his life, Lucas has been a step ahead of the competition. In grade school, Lucas said, his coursework bored him.

“When I got to school, I realized I wasn’t being taught how to learn,” Lucas said. “In school they use repetition.

Everybody has forever, and I realized that this is no fun.

There has to be an easier way.”

These Buckeyes are better Current team more dangerous than 2006–07 squad In their lone season at Ohio State, Greg Oden and Mike Conley piloted an adventurous ride to the 2007 NCAA Championship Game. Because it’s been 50 years since the program has hung a championship banner, the 2006-07 squad is now the standard by which we evaluate the great Buckeye basketball teams.

We might have to adjust our measuring stick.

These Buckeyes, of the 20-0 variety, are threatening to exceed the scarlet standard. Whether Buckeye Nation cares, the notion that OSU is solely a football school is under siege. Buckeye basketball is back on the map, and coach Thad Matta is trying to make it the capital of college hoops.

As talented as the 2006-07 team was, the current crop of Buckeye ballers is even better.

These Buckeyes are more versatile. Six players have led OSU in scoring in at least one game this season.

Freshman forward Deshaun Thomas ignited the second-half run Saturday that propelled OSU to victory by nailing a pair of 3-pointers and working his defender in the paint for a layup, all in a span of four minutes. The ability of the 6-foot-6 freshman to score in multiple ways helped to turn a three-point deÿcit into a six-point lead.

Thomas and fellow wing players David Lighty and William Buford can all score inside and out.

Those 2006-07 Buckeyes didn’t have that ° exibility. Freshman phenom Jared Sullinger can step out and hit a midrange jump shot. When he dressed in scarlet and gray, Oden was anchored in the low post, relegated to dunks and short hook shots.

Jamar Butler, Ron Lewis and Ivan Harris, all capable shooters, didn’t have the size to help Oden in the paint. The 6-4 Lewis and 6-1 Butler preferred to pull up from deep rather than enter the land of the unknown down low. Despite his 6-7 frame, Harris rarely stepped inside the 3-point arc.

Foul trouble hasn’t been an issue for these Buckeyes.

Sullinger crashed the boards for all 40 minutes Saturday and only picked up two fouls.

Those Buckeyes didn’t have the same good fortune. In OSU’s NCAA Tournament run, refs assessed Oden at least four personal fouls in every contest, save the opening-round formality against Central Connecticut State. In narrow victories against Tennessee, Memphis and Georgetown ahead of the title game, foul trouble limited Oden to 18, 24 and 20 minutes, respectively.

Three months before OSU’s loss in the National Championship Game against Florida, the Gators chomped Matta’s squad by 26. Alas, those Buckeyes knew their limits.

For these Buckeyes, the sky is the limit.

sports Lucas from 1B

Lucas joined John Havlicek and Mel Nowell at OSU At 6-foot-8, Lucas wasn’t always the biggest man on the court. He wasn’t the most athletic or the fastest. He was, however, a tireless worker.

“Nobody ever worked harder than I did at basketball, or for longer hours,” Lucas said.

Blessed with a gifted mind, Lucas relied on both his intelligence and his unrelenting work ethic to become a better basketball player. Throughout most of his high school career, it seemed Lucas might never lose a game. Middletown High School went undefeated for Lucas’ ÿrst three seasons, and he became a hot commodity.

“Jerry Lucas was recruited harder than anyone, with the possible exception of Wilt Chamberlain up to that point,” Caryer said.

Lucas’ media coverage was similar to that of Akron, Ohio’s LeBron James when he played at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. But Lucas shied away from the spotlight.

“Throughout my high-school career, I didn’t want to be bothered by recruiters,” Lucas said. “I wasn’t interested; I just wanted to be a normal person who enjoyed my life and enjoyed my friends.”

When the time came to decide on a college, Lucas made only one visit. The summer after his senior season, when he lost his last high-school game to Columbus North High School, he chose to study at OSU. “I liked the atmosphere there, and I was primarily interested in an education,” Lucas said. “I went on an academic scholarship and not a sports scholarship. Everything about Ohio State was very attractive to me, and it seemed like the best situation.”

Once Lucas committed to play for the Buckeyes, other high school basketball stars in Ohio began to follow his lead, including local standout Mel Nowell and Bridgeport’s John Havlicek.

“Before they got to campus, there was this buzz,” Caryer said. “Then, when they were freshmen, the story about people leaving and missing the varsity games because they wanted to see the freshmen play — that was very true.”

Lucas said the freshmen made a habit of beating the varsity team in practice. Dick Furry, then-junior and future co-captain of the varsity squad, remembers things a little differently.

“Some of those stories got blown out of proportion,” Furry said. “I think one story that was widely circulated was that they beat us all the time. And basically, if I remember right, we broke even. I think it was about 50-50.”

Regardless, Furry said the team was “doggone happy” when Lucas committed to OSU. When he joined the varsity team his sophomore year, 1959-60, Lucas became the centerpiece on the offensive end.

“Our offense revolved around Lucas, and that was the best thing for the team,” said John Havlicek, former Buckeye and Celtic Hall of Famer. “For the way we wanted to play, we used him as the focal point.”

That year, the Buckeyes won the National Championship Game against the University of California, 75-55. The team played a nearly impeccable ÿrst half, making 15 of its ÿrst 16 shots.

Lucas averaged 26.3 points and 16.4 rebounds per game that season, and he received the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award.

That summer, Lucas traveled to Rome and suited up for the 1960 U.S. Olympic basketball team. The team’s roster was stacked, featuring future Hall of Famers Jerry West and Oscar Robertson.

“That’s a real honor for any athlete, in my opinion; to have the opportunity to represent his country is just incredible,” Lucas said. “As I look back, it was one of the utmost highlights of my entire basketball career.”

It was the last championship Lucas won for a number of years. His junior season, the Buckeyes strolled into the National Championship Game undefeated, but fell to Robertson’s Cincinnati team, 70-65.

“There’s no doubt that our team was better,” Lucas said. “Unfortunately we didn’t play as well as we had been playing. Cincinnati played better, and they beat us.”

Cincinnati went on to beat OSU again at the end of Lucas’ senior season, but the ÿrst loss still haunts him.

“That ÿrst Cincinnati loss is the most devastating loss I’ve ever had in my life,” Lucas said. “It’s something that you believe you have a chance of winning — you shoot for it all year, and then when it’s taken away from you, it’s not a pleasant memory in anybody’s life.”

The NBA’s defunct Cincinnati Royals drafted Lucas and offered him a contract of $30,000. George Steinbrenner, the late New York Yankees owner who at one time owned the American Basketball League’s Cleveland Pipers, had other ideas.

“He offered me $40,000 a year, so I signed with him,” Lucas said. “I never got a nickel from him, nor did I ever play a game in the ABL, because the league folded prior to that season beginning.”

Jerry Lucas was named NBA Rookie of the Year in 1964 and NBA All-Star Game MVP in 1965.

Lucas eventually signed with the Royals. For the better half of a decade, he witnessed the Boston Celtics perennially eliminate his team from championship contention. Legendary center Bill Russell and former Buckeye teammate Havlicek led the Celtics.

It wasn’t until Lucas became a member of the New York Knicks that he won an NBA championship, reaching the top of the mountain in 1973. For his professional career, he averaged 17.0 points and 15.6 rebounds per game. He played in seven All-Star games and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979.

Lucas’ list of awards and achievements includes being the only college player to lead the nation in rebounding and ÿeld goal percentage for three straight years, and the ÿrst player in history to win a championship at every level of competition, according to his ofÿcial website.

“I would argue to this day that Lucas was one of the top ÿve college players of all time,” said Bob Ryan, longtime Boston Globe contributor and occasional ESPN “Around the Horn” panelist.

“Lucas was a great rebounder and an extraordinary player.”

Lucas lives near San Luis Obispo, Calif. He has written more than 70 books that aim to help others

by teaching memory education techniques, and he’s working on a website he refers to as the “culmination of his life’s work.”

“I’m in the process right now of creating a very unique educational website, which will be called ‘Dr. M’s Universe,’” Lucas said. “And I know that when America — and the world, as far as that’s concerned, because it will be on the World Wide Web — when they have an opportunity to experience it, it will change millions and millions of lives.”

Sharing his intellectual gifts with others makes perfect sense, given he took pride in his sel° ess play on the court, and team achievements were always more important to him than individual honors. Of the championships he won at four levels, one in particular stood out to him.

“The Ohio State team was more special than the others because I was with that group for a longer period,” Lucas said. “The core of that group came in as freshmen, so we were together for a long time, and we developed great, lifelong friendships that continue to this day. So, that was uniquely special for all of us.”

Buckeye freshmen have yet to hit the rookie wall CHRIS BIDERMAN Senior Lantern reporter biderman.1@osu.edu Coach Thad Matta understands the complications of having such a young basketball team going through the rigors of the Big Ten season for the ÿrst time. But he says age is no excuse for poor play at this level.

“They’ll tell you, I don’t hide behind the fact that freshmen do hit a wall,” Matta said Tuesday. “Just not here. That, to me, is a sign of weakness, a sign of softness. Those guys have to continue to bring it every day.”

Freshmen standouts Jared Sullinger and Aaron Craft have played integral roles for the latest No. 1 team in the country, just more than halfway through their ÿrst season at Ohio State.

Sullinger, the power forward who has started all 20 games and averaged a double-double with 17.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, credits his veteran teammates with preventing the team’s rookies from succumbing to the difÿculties of Division I basketball.

“It’s kind of hard to hit that wall when you have people like Jon Diebler, David Lighty, William Buford and Dallas Lauderdale always in your ear,” said the three-time Big Ten Player of the Week. “Their leadership and communication is always really big … because from day one they’ve been in our ear talking about how they need both (me and Craft) to play good basketball.”

Matta and his veteran players have instilled maturity in the team’s freshmen during their ÿrst year as collegiate athletes.

“We can’t be coming in as a freshman; we have to play like a sophomore or junior,” Sullinger said. “It really hits us. … We’re listening to them and focusing on what we have to do.”

Through the ÿrst 10 weeks of the season, Sullinger won the Big Ten Freshman of the Week award eight times. Craft and Deshaun Thomas have won the award once.

Seven games into the Big Ten schedule, OSU has faced what it expected: a slew of more talented, hungry and difÿcult opponents than what it saw early against non-conference foes.

After cruising through their non-conference slate and winning their games by an average of 28.8 points, the Buckeyes have won their ÿrst seven conference games by 6.4 points per game.

“I think a lot of it is keeping the foot on the pedal and constantly talking to them about getting better,” Matta said.

Sullinger said his teammates have “no compassion at all” for the youngsters — an attitude conducive to mental toughness.

“There (are) deÿnitely times when they know they have to get after us. That’s just needed, and it’s understood as freshmen that they’re not doing it to pick on us; they’re not doing it to make fun of us or point us out,” Craft said. “But it’s deÿnitely needed to get us on the right track. We couldn’t have

no easy games, especially on the road,” senior guard Jon Diebler said. “We’ve got some great tests coming up, and we’re deÿnitely looking forward to those challenges.”

OSU’s next test will be when it hosts Purdue at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

With a Buckeye roster composed of accomplished veterans and blue-chip freshmen, Matta said the team’s history of success would play a key role in determining how long it remains unbeaten.

“You’ve got a lot of guys on this team that have won at the high-school level, at the national AAU level,” Matta said. “I haven’t seen anything in regards to somebody letting their guard down.”

Buckeyes face six ranked opponents in next eight games

Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger takes a shot in OSU’s 73-68 win against Illinois on Saturday.

Kansas’ loss to Texas on Saturday — which snapped the Jayhawks’ 69-game win streak at home — leaves OSU and San Diego State as the only undefeated teams in the country.

With six of their next eight games coming against ranked opponents — including road matchups at Minnesota, Wisconsin and Purdue — the Buckeyes have their work cut out for them as they attempt to remain unbeaten.

“The Big Ten’s a great conference, and there’s

stepped into a better group of leaders for us and all the freshmen on the team.”

Although Craft’s 6.3 points and 4.9 assists per game don’t jump off the stat sheet, his strengths lie on the defensive end and controlling the tempo of the game as point guard. Craft recorded a careerhigh 19 points, along with seven assists, Jan. 15 in the team’s 69-66 win against Penn State.

Being the nation’s top team comes with its own set of challenges, especially for a team that features as many freshmen as OSU does. Sullinger averages 30.5 minutes per game, Craft 27.9 and Thomas 16.0.

But being a part of a top team is nothing new to Sullinger, who, alongside Craft, starred on one of the nation’s top AAU teams during his high school years.

“We won three national championships in a row.

After our ÿrst … we realized we had a target on our chest,” Sullinger said. “As freshmen, me and Craft are kind of used to it.”

Although the team is doing everything it can to keep its younger players playing their best, Matta said there is no contingency plan for a drop in play from any of the team’s star freshmen.

“You really can’t. You got to have a trust, got to have a belief in your players that they want to be good, want to be great and want to win,” Matta said.

“If you see it, we just make practice harder.”
