OSU reacts to SOTU address

LIZ YOUNG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has a new title and an updated contract.

Smith was named an OSU vice president and given a nearly 12 percent pay increase and four year contract extension, pending OSU Board of Trustees approval later this week, OSU Interim President Joseph Alutto announced Tuesday.

Smith’s contract is now set to expire June 30, 2020, and he will continue to report directly to the university president, according to an OSU press release.

His annual base salary is $940,484, effective July 1, 2013, though he will be eligible for “standard, university-wide merit based salary increases each year,” according to the release. Smith was paid about $840,484 in 2013, according to the Columbus Business First DataCenter.

The Lantern requested an interview with Alutto following the announcement, however, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said Smith’s new role “will be voted on Friday (at the OSU Board of Trustees meeting) during the public session as with other personnel actions,” in an email.

Smith is set to have joint oversight responsibility with the Office of Business and Finance for OSU’s Business Advancement Division, which includes the Schottenstein Center, the Blackwell, Drake Performance and Event Center, the Fawcett Center and the Office of Trademark and Licensing Services.

Smith is also slated to have responsibility for the Nationwide Arena Management agreement to “increase existing revenue streams and pursue new revenue opportunities through creative collaboration and innovation,” and partner with Business and Finance for responsibility of the university’s affinity agreements, according to the release.

He said he is “grateful for the opportunity to lead the athletics program” at OSU in a released statement.

“Working with the coaches, athletics staff, faculty and staff across the university enables us to provide positive experiences for the young people we serve, while finding ways to help them become global citizens impacting the world,” Smith said. “Ohio State is an amazing institution and I am proud to be a Buckeye.”

Alutto said the contract extension, pay increase and additional title are a reflection of what Smith has done during his time at OSU, which began in 2005.

“Gene Smith is one of this country’s most accomplished collegiate athletics directors, with an exemplary record of national leadership and service,” Alutto said in a released statement. “Thanks to his dedication

All OSU student-athletes had an NCAA graduation success rate of 89 percent in the most recent 2013 report, up from 61 percent in 2005-06, according to the release.

Of all NCAA Division I student-athletes who entered college in 2006, 82 percent earned their degrees, according to an NCAA release.

Smith is OSU’s eighth athletics director. He oversees 36 varsity sports, which more than 1,000 studentathletes participate in each year, according to the OSU release.

Smith oversaw OSU’s Department of Athletics during Tattoo-gate, a 2010 improper benefits scandal which led to five football players’ five-game suspensions and a sixth player’s one-game ban for selling memorabilia and receiving improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor. Former OSU coach Jim Tressel resigned in May 2011 in the wake of the scandal becoming public.

Later, the NCAA banned OSU from postseason play in 2011 and sanctioned the program with a nine-year scholarship reduction over three years.

Also during Smith’s tenure, Buckeyes have earned a variety of accomplishments, including winning 10 team national championships, 60 individual national championships, eight national players of the year and producing 22 Olympians.

Smith has raised more than $400 million in partnership with the development staff during his time at OSU, according to the release.

NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu While several Ohio State student leaders said they thought raising the federal minimum wage was a key point for students in the State of the Union address, their opinions conflicted over how realistic the proposal was.

Opportunity was the overall theme of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.

The president focused on some positives that have come from the last few years – the lowest unemployment in five years, the manufacturing sector adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s, producing more oil in America than the amount being bought from foreign countries – and said because those things have come from “grit and determined effort,” hard work is essential for more improvement in the country.

The president mentioned goals including creating opportunity for middle class security, for the economy and for education.

OSU Undergraduate Student Government Vice President Josh Ahart said of all of the things Obama spoke about, education was the most important.

“The president called for a lot of things, and as far as OSU goes, affordable education and student loan reform are the most important things he called for,” said Ahart, a fourth-year in public affairs.

Citing the economic impact it would have on families, the president urged Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour from $7.25, and promised to issue an executive order for federally funded wages to be set at that minimum.

“This will help families. It will give businesses customers with more money to spend. It doesn’t involve any new bureaucratic program,” Obama said. “Give America a raise.”

Ahart said, though, he doesn’t think that raise will happen.

“Minimum wage reform was probably the most unrealistic goal to come out of the State of the Union. Minimum wage affects people across the country, and students especially. I think we need to pass reform, but I don’t think it will happen,” Ahart said.

College Democrats President Vince Hayden, a third-year in political science, disagreed with Ahart.

“The executive orders, such as the one on raising the federal minimum wage, are the most realistic things to come into effect,” Hayden said.

Hayden added, though, he doesn’t think much will come out of the speech as a whole.

“I don’t think the State of the Union will ultimately have a lot of impact, despite our hopes. It was a partisan speech, and I think there are too many hardline Republicans for Congress to work together,” he said.

College Republicans President Samuel Zuidema, a third-year in American history and American politics, said he, like Hayden, thinks minimum wage was the most realistic goal Obama mentioned.

“The executive order regarding minimum wage is the most likely thing to come from the State of the Union,” Zuidema said.

But even then, he added, it probably won’t happen.

“Minimum wage doesn’t have a chance going through Congress,” Zuidema said. “Businesses just

ALEX DRUMMER Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu “My freshman and sophomore years of high school, I partied a lot. It was all I cared about.”

“It was whatever, and then I got really suicidal and tried to kill myself because my drinking was out of control.”

“I kept on going to the hospital because I kept on overdosing and mixing drugs with alcohol.”

“I couldn’t handle myself and I started going to (Alcoholics Anonymous) when I was 16.”

These are parts of the story of Haley Schuster, a third-year in special education and a member of the Collegiate Recovery Community at Ohio State — an organization that is set to secure an on-campus living option starting Fall Semester 2014 for students in recovery from drug or alcohol addictions.

The residence hall, which is currently called Pennsylvania Place and located on South Campus at 1478 Pennsylvania Ave., is set to hold 28 beds. Students living in the Recovery House at Penn Place would live in two-person dorm rooms with private baths. The CRC students are slated to live clustered in a wing or on a floor, and the remaining rooms at Pennsylvania Place are to be filled with students who choose to live there based on its standing as a sober environment, said Sarah Nerad, graduate administrative associate for the CRC and Recovery House.

“No additional funds (from the administration) are being put into the Recovery House,” Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said. “It will cost the same as any other on-campus residence hall (for students).”

Students interested in joining the CRC and living in the Recovery House at Penn Place next year are required to fill out an application.

“The application asks some basic demographic questions, a treatment history, drug and alcohol use history, eating disorder history (and so on),” Nerad said. “This will allow us to make sure that we appropriately refer student to services. If a student is like, ‘Hey, actually I’ve also been in treatment for an eating disorder,’ I’m able to be like, ‘OK, then that is something that we need to make sure we support you in.’”

Nerad added that applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation from a treatment provider or sponsor, but their application isn’t just for housing.

“The application for the CRC and Recovery House is also a scholarship application, and it allows students to have priority registration,” Nerad said.

One scholarship of $2,000 will be awarded to a CRC student. The funds for this scholarship came from an anonymous donor, Nerad said.

Nerad said she hopes eight CRC students will live in the recovery house, because “eight is a good number.”

Wednesday January 29, 2014

Despite recent reports of sexual imposition and indecent exposure at William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, a student involved in one incident said she’s going to continue visiting the library, and officials said the building remains a safe place on campus.

A recent University Police report stated a 56-year-old homeless man, described as “an habitual offender,” had been arrested for inappropriately touching female OSU students in Thompson Library Jan. 11.

Later, two female students reported a man for exposing himself and masturbating while watching them in the library during an unrelated incident Jan. 13.

Thompson Library, which is open to the general public with about 12,000 to 13,000 daily visitors, was designed with security in mind, Thompson Library security manager Brent Lewis said.

“It’s extremely open — from the glass, from having the open atriums, essentially five stories tall — there’s a lot of openness,” Lewis said.

“Overall, it’s a very safe place to come study.”

Despite the library’s safety-minded architecture, the man who had been allegedly masturbating was able to make his way around library security to escape without questioning.

One of the women involved in the incident, who is a first-year in nursing and who asked to remain anonymous because she doesn’t want the man to know her identity, was studying on the fourth floor of Thompson Library with a friend at about 2:45 p.m. when she noticed an elderly man gesturing to her from behind the glass wall.

“I happened to look up and there was this older man waving at me — like an attentiongetting wave. He started lifting his shirt, then he started touching himself over top his jeans,” she said.

She then began panning the room for her friend, whom she couldn’t find, she said.

“When I looked back, he fully had his penis out and was masturbating in the stacks. So I was really shocked. That’s not something you expect to see in your school’s library,” the woman said.

“I happened to look over at a table behind me and I saw a girl who had her jaw dropped and I knew she had to have seen it, too,” she said.

After making eye contact with the other witness, the first woman immediately headed for her table, she said.

“When I got up, he took off sprinting and that’s the last I saw of him,” she said.

By the time the two women made it down to the first floor to notify library security, the man was gone, she said.

“I feel like he had a good idea of the setup of library because where he was, on the fourth floor, there’s a support beam that covers a certain portion of the glass wall so you couldn’t see him unless you were at the angle I was at,” she said.

The man was described as being about 60 years old with a “scruffy beard” but “clean cut,” according to the University Police report.

“He looked like your average grandpa, so aside from what he was doing, he looked normal,” the woman said.

The two witnesses were told to alert the police if they see the man again. The woman said she has since returned to Thompson Library.

“I figure he won’t be showing his face for at least a little bit, I’m hoping,” she said.

Lewis, who oversees the library security staff for 13 Ohio State libraries, including at

Security cameras

MADISON CURTIS / Design editor

Thompson Library and the 18th Avenue Library, said students should always report suspicious behavior to library security personnel, if not to the police.

“We have people (library security personnel) who are always roaming through out the facility – they (students) can call us, they can flag us down. They can also call the police themselves,” Lewis said.

Besides one security officer at the 18th Avenue Library who is also an employee of the Department of Public Safety, the security officers at the libraries on campus report to Lewis and are separate from University Police officers.

In addition to security personnel, Lewis said Thompson Library has a multi-prong approach to maximizing students’ safety.

“We utilize cameras, we utilize access control, we utilize a policies and procedures code of conduct. We also utilize partnerships we have on campus with the Department of Public Safety and the (University) Police department,” Lewis said.

When asked about changes to library security since the two reported incidences, Lewis said he was unable to comment because of the confidentially of security measures.

Erin Walker, a first-year in pre-health sciences, said she doesn’t have any security hesitations when visiting Thompson Library and generally thinks of it as a safe place.

The president also called for efforts to promote workplace equality for women, who make, on average, 77 cents to every dollar men earn.

“This year, let’s all come together – Congress, the White House and businesses from Wall Street to Main Street – to give every woman the opportunity she deserves. Because I firmly believe when women succeed, America succeeds,” Obama said.

Ahart agreed with what Obama said regarding equal pay for women.

“It was awesome that he talked about women deserving equal pay, that’s a no brainer,” Ahart said.

Educational opportunity was another topic Obama emphasized as needing more attention.

“It’s not enough to train today’s workforce. We also have to prepare tomorrow’s workforce, by guaranteeing every child access to a world-class education,” he said.

Obama’s educational opportunity ideas include providing pre-K programs to all 4 year olds, increasing connections between high schools and colleges, as well as employers, and offering students financial incentives to keep costs down.

Ahart said with USG working on lowering costs for students through its affordability initiative, some of what Obama was especially timely.

“More access to college and keeping costs low are priorities for USG which was good to hear,” Ahart said.

Hayden said Obama’s message about education was universal.

“I think whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you can appreciate what the president said about education,” Hayden said.

Obama urged for a reform of the tax code, which he said would provide more incentives for companies to insource jobs and would save money that

Thompson from 1A “I know there is a security desk at the front of the library, but I’ve never really considered the library that much of a (security) threat,” Walker said.

Even though Walker said the library is a safe place, she does feel it poses more of a threat to her security compared to other places on campus.

“The library is an open place. You don’t have to be a student or a faculty member to be (there), where in other buildings, sometimes you do,” Walker said.

Lewis said, though, there are no added security risks because of the library’s openness to the general public.

could then be used to create jobs improving American infrastructure.

He also called for fixing the “broken immigration system” through bipartisan efforts as a way to help the economy.

“Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades,” Obama said.

Zuidema said he thinks “immigration (reform) will be up in the air.”

Obama called for Vice President Joe Biden to lead a revamp of the federal job training programs, and promised to connect more business to community colleges and long-term unemployed workers, in an effort to stimulate the economy.

On the topic of health care, Obama focused on getting Americans to enroll in the new Affordable Care Act system.

“I ask every American who knows someone without health insurance to help them get covered

by March 31. Moms, get on your kids to sign up.

Kids, call your mom and walk her through the application,” Obama said.

Obama wrapped up his State of the Union address by noting that more progress is possible.

“The America we want for our kids – a rising America where honest work is plentiful and communities are strong; where prosperity is widely shared and opportunity for all lets us go as far as our dreams and toil will take us – none of it is easy,” Obama said. “But if we work together; if we summon what is best in us, with our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast toward tomorrow – I know it’s within our reach.”

“There’s no studies, there’s no data that indicates there being an increased risk at having (public) people,” Lewis said.

Tamara Butler, a graduate student in education, said she has no security hesitations about Thompson Library either and has never thought of it as an unsafe place.

“I’m usually (there) late but I’m also usually here with two friends,” she said.

To stay safe in campus spaces that are open to the public like Thompson Library, Butler said she travels in groups and never stays at places late when she’s by herself.

studentvoice Nina Davuluri represents America with poise, diversity ASST. photo editor

I think Monday night might have been the first time I walked into a room full of Ohio State Buckeyes in absolute awe of a Michigan Wolverine.

As she stood on stage, illustrating her platform of cultural competency, Miss America Nina Davuluri was picture-perfect. She came off as incredibly poised, articulate, elegant and even more radiant in person than all the cameras, evening gowns and famous acquaintances could ever RITIKA SHAH make her look. shah.718@osu.edu Davuluri spoke about growing up in a predominantly Caucasian community and how she handled racism then, and even now, after garnering negative backlash on social media when she earned the crown and people said she wasn’t a “real” American. Throughout her discussion, Davuluri remained sincere, candid, extremely relatable and down-to-earth — an embodiment of what Miss America should be, regardless of the color of her skin.

Davuluri actually touched on exactly that. In what I believe to be her most poignant point of the evening, she said, “I’ve always viewed Miss America as that national icon, that symbol of the girl next door. And the reality of that situation is the girl next door is evolving as the diversity of America evolves.”

There is truth in Davuluri’s words. Even if Davuluri had lost out on the crown, two of the ladies in line behind her were not Caucasian but also of

Asian descent. As I stated in a previous commentary about Davuluri, and as she so eloquently summed up on stage, the conventional blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty is simply not representative of our nation anymore. And after personally hearing her speak, I couldn’t think of a better candidate to carry the crown.

Throughout her reign, Davuluri has met with the president, members of the military, Hollywood actors, appeared on television news shows and has traveled to countless hospitals, schools and universities. Her purpose has been to empower and inspire young people and to create circles of unity among Americans — quite the opposite of what terrorists, as some called Davuluri when she first won, attempt to accomplish.

Davuluri isn’t trying to tear our country apart, but instead she stands for unity with her project, Circles of Unity. She has no ties to al-Qaida, but rather secures bonds with children, members of the military and our country’s leading politicians. She doesn’t fix sandwiches at Subway, but she hopes to fix her patients’ aches and pains as a doctor (Davuluri plans on using the scholarship money from the Miss America pageant to fund her dreams of attending medical school). We’d like to pretend she didn’t go to the University of Michigan, but eh … we’ll let that one slide.

To the ignorant, I’d like to say: Open your eyes. Take a look at your classmates, your co-workers, your neighbors. The color of their skin doesn’t determine their level of patriotism or degree of patriotism, but rather it can be defined in the pride they carry in our country and the value they attribute to their contributions in making it a better place for all of us.

At the root of it, I think Davuluri is trying to convey just that. And when she takes off her crown and boxes it up before leaving stage as she did here at Ohio State, Davuluri’s spirit, commitment to service and patriotism don’t get boxed up with it, but rather shine on their own.

Exercise ball a commitment to health, ‘new year, new me’ CAMPUS editor

Like many of my peers, I came back from winter break rejuvenated and ready for a new year, new me.

On my mental list of things to do to be better this year was something I’d LIZ YOUNG seen glorified in young.1693@osu.edu commercials and lauded by Internet experts — I was going to bring an exercise ball to work to sit on.

At my job, I sit for roughly eight hours per day.

Though my chair is fairly comfortable, sitting for that long was starting to make my back ache.

4A

When I told my mom, she suggested an exercise ball to remedy the issue — 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off alternating throughout the day would “engage my core” and lessen the strain on my back, she told me.

So I did it. I went to Target and got a big, gray exercise ball. Then I got home and read the back of the box, which emphasized that size was for people more than 6 feet tall, which is at least a foot taller than I am. So I went back. I got a medium-sized blue exercise ball, which I was positive would be perfect.

Then one of my friends brought in her blue exercise ball first and we found out that, no, the blue one was definitely not big enough for us to comfortably reach our keyboards.

I returned to Target and grabbed the gray ball for the final time, but already I was beginning to feel like a complete diva who was blowing my real problem of dealing with a backache out of proportion. Already I was starting to move this particular “new year, new me” bullet point into the “try again next year” category.

But I brought it to work anyway. After inflating the ball, which requires pumping it up with a small hand pump and took a surprising amount of time and energy, I began my first day of work on it.

It was magical.

Being able to bounce around sometimes was great, I was pushing myself to sit taller, and mentally I felt like I was actually following through with a goal I’d set for myself. My core, however, didn’t feel engaged, so I was concerned maybe the ball wasn’t doing its job.

People made plenty of jokes geared toward my friend and I, who are still the only two so far to embrace the exercise-ball-at-work lifestyle. But then others started asking to use the exercise balls during our 30-minutes-off periods, and they started liking them, too.

About two weeks after I started using it, I didn’t sit on my exercise ball for several hours at work. And I felt my back cramping. And suddenly I realized — my exercise ball is making a difference.

Now comes the part where I make this into a deeper, broader lesson about life: Accomplishing one goal, just by committing to and following through with sitting on an exercise ball, has without a doubt pushed me closer to completing my other goals as well. Having one easy “resolution” I can check off each day makes me more likely to keep working toward the harder items on my list.

My advice is to get an exercise ball this year. It’s worth the jokes, and it’s definitely worth the $15.

Miss America Nina Davuluri: ‘The girl next door is evolving’

THY THY NGUYEN Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu

Miss America 2014 shows that the contest is not all about pageantry.

The Ohio Union Activities Board in collaboration with the Asian American Association welcomed Nina Davuluri, the first IndianAmerican woman to be named Miss America, Monday evening in the Ohio Union Performance Hall. Students had the opportunity to hear from Davuluri about her experiences being Miss America and how she handled ethnic and racial stereotypes.

“People have always asked me if I’m going to have an arranged marriage or what the red dot means or if I worship cows and the list goes on and on. But many of these remarks aren’t necessarily meant to be malicious, but simply due to the fact of ignorance, and to take the opportunity to welcome questions and answer questions is something I’ve really learned is the best way to handle those situations,” Davuluri said.

Davuluri commented on her feelings and experience of being crowned the first Miss America of Indian descent in a private interview with The Lantern and Buckeye TV. “It was so surreal for it to actually happen.

But it was a dream come true. It’s crazy. It hasn’t really sunk in, that it’s me still. People will say ‘Hey Miss America.’ I don’t really answer (because I) can’t comprehend that,” Davuluri said.

Davuluri said she wanted to use the Miss America competition as way to reach out to young individuals “who may be struggling with what they look like or feel like or if they don’t fit in because they don’t fit in a certain typical mold or stereotype.”

She described her experience in the Miss America pageant last September as emotional.

“I was truly on the stage with 52 other Miss Americas. I really mean that because any single one of us could have done the job and any single one of us could have walked away with the title.

It’s simply a matter of how the cards fall that night,” Davuluri said.

Davuluri, who received some racist feedback via social media after her crowning, gave advice in the interview to others on how to handle online bullying.

“I always say when you have negative, try

It’s obviously difficult when you see things like that especially written out on your Twitter feed. But, the silver lining for me at least with everything that happened was for every one negative comment, tweet or post, I received hundreds if not thousands of positive encouragement and remarks and support from people all across the country,” Davuluri said.

Davuluri also said in the interview that because of the benefits of being a part of the Miss America Organization, she was able to graduate from college, “debt free.”

“I was able to benefit so much from it (pageantry) especially with the Miss America Organization. We’re different from any other system because we’re scholarship and servicebased. Because of this organization, I won a total of $91,000 to further my education, which is no small chunk of change,” Davuluri said.

There were many fans of Davuluri’s in attendance, including Miss Ohio 2013 Heather Wells, a Kent State University graduate who competed against Davuluri during the Miss America contest.

“Nina spoke so beautifully and candidly about her entire life and especially this year about Miss America. She was sincere and down-to-earth. I think she inspired everyone here tonight including myself,” Wells said.

I’ve always viewed Miss America as that national icon, that symbol of the girl next door. And the reality of the situation is the girl next door is evolving as the diversity of America evolves.

Nina Davuluri, Miss America 2014, speaks to OSU students at the Ohio Union Jan. 27.

Davuluri talked about her community service experience and her commitment to spreading diversity while she was in college at the University of Michigan.

“I liked that she really talked about the service she did in her community and that she emphasized that pageants are more than just beauty contests. It’s about your intelligence, your service and what you do for your community,” said Reena Underiner, a second-year in molecular genetics.

Rona Jiang, a first-year in accounting, said the OUAB event with Davuluri was good exposure to social identity and diversity issues.

“It’s really relevant for us, because college students are going through finding our identity and facing issues of diversity,” Jiang said.

OUAB declined to disclose costs of the event.

Davuluri talked to the audience about her perceptions of the symbol of Miss America.

“I’ve always viewed Miss America as that national icon, that symbol of the girl next door.

And the reality of that situation is the girl next door is evolving as the diversity of America evolves,” she said.

Phosphorescent leaves city lights, writes ‘Muchacho’

Summer Music Festivals OPINION

OutKast, Motörhead, Arcade Fire light up Coachella 2014 lineup MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been setting the precedent for music festivals since its inception. In part, this has to do with the time of year — Coachella is one of the earliest festivals of the warm season, set for the weekend dates of April 11-13 and 18-20 this year. It is in this respect that the festival often serves as a signifier for what’s to come later in the year, at the likes of Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza.

Year after year, Coachella manages to nab the most acclaimed talent, turning the valley festival into a powerhouse full of distinguished and up-and-coming acts alike (for instance, back in 2010, I could have seen Public Image Limited, Jay Z and Grizzly Bear in the same night). A quick look over the lineups of the last few years incites astonishment, simmering only into upset for those who could never make it to Southern California for the weekend.

Coachella’s selection of bands for 2014 further proves that it’s the quintessential festival of the century, carrying on its legacy of hosting the best. Even after having enacted a massive, two-weekend event for the festival in 2012, essentially repeating all of the shows twice, the passes have already sold out for both weekends this year. Should you be one of the lucky ones to have already nabbed access to Coachella — or plan to pay far above face price for it later on — I have undertaken the task of assembling the top five sets to see at Coachella.

This was a toughie, given that 2014 is looking pretty pristine. If I were to go several grand in the red to attend Coachella, these are the acts for which I would force my way to the front.

1. All of the headliners, but mostly OutKast (April 11, 18) and Arcade Fire (April 13, 20) OutKast is touring in support of us loving them, and they decided to hit the festival circuit in celebration of the reunion of André 3000 and Big Boi. They’re doing up The

Governor’s Ball and surely several others, but Coachella’s going to be their first stop.

The group’s Friday set, especially during first weekend before attendees leak all of the videos they shot to YouTube, will be one to watch. This is worth foregoing a whole day of shows just to get in the line early for OutKast.

Arcade Fire’s arrival at Coachella comes with less surprise (the band also headlined in 2011) but with 2013’s “Reflektor” under their belts, the formally clad crew might bring their fresh, dancier vibe to the Sunday festival experience. Kudos to the Coachella-goers that abide by the band’s request for formal attire at their shows.

Muse is headlining on the Saturdays of the festival, which would be great if I was still 13.

2. Motörhead (April 13, 20) These punk-inflected metalheads have been going at it since the mid-1970s, and I sincerely doubt that the years have treated them kindly. However, I still believe this band can melt face (a good thing). I live for moments like the introduction to “Ace of Spades,” and the rest of the record of the same name is one of the most quality metal releases to date. Sure, heat exhaustion might be more imminent with the rage Motörhead will fuel, but to me that would be a small price to pay. I am unable to think of a more felicitous way to burn out at Coachella than with a Sunday Motörhead set.

3. The Replacements (April 11, 18) For those not in the loop: This is the band that directly influenced the band that inspired the band you listen to now (the indie, “innovative” band full of early 20-somethings).. The Replacements’ reunion is old news, having played some shows together in summer 2013. That said, at the time, these were the first U.S. concerts the band had done in more than two decades. To write that I would feel awestruck by seeing the Replacements perform cuts from their prime in 2014 would be a vast understatement.

Phosphorescent is set to perform at A&R Music Bar Jan. 30 at 8 p.m.

MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu “Muchacho,” the latest release from Matthew Houck’s project Phosphorescent, almost didn’t happen.

Exhausted and uninspired from touring, the Alabama-raised, Brooklyn, N.Y.-based songwriter needed a break.

“At that time, I wasn’t even sure if I was going to make another record, at least not as Phosphorescent,” Houck said.

“I’ve written a lot of songs and I’ve been touring for a long time. Maybe I was just too tired of hearing my own voice and my own words. It was a little bit of feeling not too inspired about anything that I would have to say.”

Coming back to the bustle of New York City did not help his creative process either. Houck needed to get away, so he grabbed the “closest flight” to “somewhere that wasn’t New York.” He took his impromptu trip to Tulum, Mexico, where he was able to find relief. “(I needed to be) somewhere that was going to be a little bit secluded so I could have some time to myself,” he said.

“The most important thing I think was just getting out of New York for a minute.”

The coastal town’s roughly 1,600mile distance from New York and overall opposition to the city’s environment provided the stimulus necessary for Houck to start writing songs again. The songs he wrote there would be the ones that assemble “Muchacho,” the album

Phosphorescent is promoting in its scheduled stop in Columbus on Thursday. “(Tulum’s) not on the power and water grids, so things run on generators. At sundown, basically, or probably about 8 o’clock, the water cuts off and there’s no lights,” Houck said. “It was very interesting (getting) back in touch with a natural rhythm. In New York, it’s really easy to end up staying up all night and not being in touch with a natural day and night.”

The solitude Tulum gave Houck could have been replicated anywhere, he said, but “Muchacho” holds the distinctive influence of Mexico in a broader sense.

“In general, I definitely think wherever you are, you’re affected by everything around you in ways that are subtle and in ways that are really concrete,” Houck said.

“There’s no way (Mexico) didn’t affect me.”

Additionally, Phosphorescent’s newest album probably would not have received its Spanish name, which means young man, if it weren’t for a trip to Mexico, Houck said.

Shifting locations kick-started Houck’s desire to write, but it ultimately did not affect his actual songwriting process. He said the songs on “Muchacho” are best representative of Phosphorescent as it stands today as a result of his growth as a recording artist.

“I don’t think it’s very much different from the way I’ve made all of my prior records,” Houck said. “It’s a very similar process. I think the real difference is that I think I’m a little better at it now, so it seems like a more fully fleshed-out idea in the final product.”

An occasional theme in Houck’s

lyrics references his performance name, Phosphorescent. Although Houck said the band name is in place largely to separate his personal name from his art, the name is not meaningless.

The word phosphorescent “means to omit light without combusting,” Houck said. “I think that’s a really comforting notion, and maybe a sort of mantra to try and remember: not to self-destruct, not to burn yourself out.”

Houck’s lyrics resonate with some fans, including Tom Wright, a fifth-year in photography. “(Phosphorescent’s) got some good lyrics,” Wright said. “They’re really well thought-out, really poetic lyrics.”

Jasmine Yetts, a second-year in history of art, said she appreciates the happier side of Houck’s lyrics, equating them to those by similar artists. “(His) sound is folky, happy-go-lucky, which is what I’m most attracted (to),” Yetts said. “They remind me a lot of Edward Sharpe (and the Magnetic Zeros).”

After his current tour as Phosphorescent, Houck said he might need some time off again, but his desire to write will be undeterred. He plans to get some writing done and see what “sounds he can come up with” in the studio soon enough.

“At this point, I’m definitely excited about making another Phosphorescent record,” Houck said. “That’s different, and that’s a good feeling.”

Phosphorescent is slated to play A&R Music Bar, located at 391 Neil Ave., with doors opening at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17 in advance, $19 day of the show. Caveman is set to open.

With raised spirits, OSU focuses on Penn State daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu The night is darkest before the dawn, and for the No. 24-ranked Ohio State men’s basketball team (16-4, 3-4), that dawn might have arrived.

After struggling through a four-game losing streak — the program’s longest since February 2008 — the Buckeyes got back on track with a 62-55 victory against Illinois last Thursday.

Freshman forward Marc Loving said just getting a win helped raise spirits in the locker room.

“Our moods are definitely a lot lighter than what they were during the four-game losing streak,” Loving said Tuesday. “I would say there’s been a lighter load going into the next game. I feel like a weight’s been lifted off of us, get a little monkey off our back. Going into this next game, we definitely have a mindset that we’ve got to execute and get stops defensively because that’s what we key on.”

It’s been more than two weeks since OSU headed into a game off a win, and some players are hoping their problems have been fixed.

Junior center Amir Williams, who saw his minutes decline during the losing streak, said a lot of time in practice has been dedicated to two things: defense and shooting.

“We spent a lot of time these past few days working on our defense and a lot with our shooting,” Williams said Tuesday. “That’s mainly been a problem that we’ve had in the past, guys were just driving by us and not playing our principles on defense so we just got back to the basics and broke down what we had to do defensively to keep teams from scoring against us and just get up a lot of shots offensively. We’ve been putting a lot of time into shooting the ball.”

Junior center Amir Williams dunks the ball during a game against Iowa Jan. 12 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 84-74.

Williams added that another four-game losing streak has to be prevented at all costs for a team with as high of goals like OSU’s.

“We can’t take any team for granted,” Williams said. “This is a tough conference to play in night in and night out so we’re going to continue to build … That four-game losing streak is something that can’t happen to us again. We’re going to have losses and we’re going to win some games but we can’t just not show up to play like we did those last four games.”

Next up, the Buckeyes are set to take on Penn State (10-10, 1-6) and will be hoping to contain their leading scorers, redshirt-junior guard D.J. Newbill (17.2 points per game) and graduate-senior guard Tim Frazier (16.5 points per game).

OSU coach Thad Matta said despite the Nittany Lions’ record, they will not be overlooked by the Buckeyes.

“You look at Penn State, they’ve been in every single game they’ve played this season and had some of the craziest losses I’ve seen in terms of the ball didn’t bounce their way,” Matta said Tuesday.

“Obviously Frazier and Newbill have shown, not only this year but throughout their career, that they can go into an arena and get 30 on you … but you get a pretty good feel of who they’re trying to get shots for and we’ve got to do a pretty good job of locking those guys down the best we can.”

The last time OSU lost to Penn State was Jan. 10, 2004. Tipoff is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

Pair of OSU tracksters sprint past field early in season taylor cameron Lantern reporter cameron.883@osu.edu Shock and modesty were the initial reactions of two Ohio State track athletes after earning Big Ten Athletes of the Week honors.

“I am very humbled,” senior sprinter Chesna Sykes said. “I am not one to want to be in the forefront or one that wants the attention.

Everybody on this team works hard every day and produces results, so for me, I’m just trying to make sure I do my part.”

The award — given to both Sykes and fellow senior sprinter and hurdler Demoye Bogle Jan. 13 — is the first time Sykes has won the award outright. At the Buckeye Classic home opener Jan. 10, Sykes took first in both the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash. Her 60-meter dash time at the Buckeye Classic, 7.35 seconds, is tied for second best in the nation as of Jan. 13.

“Chesna has the ability to run with the fastest in the nation,” OSU women’s coach Karen Dennis said.

“That’s where she sees herself and she has been working hard to get herself there ­— to get to nationals and get on the podium.”

Dennis said she has been watching Sykes since she was in the eighth grade and always knew she would develop into a Division I athlete. Dennis said she was thrilled

Senior sprinter and hurdler Demoye Bogle (left) competes during the 60-meter dash at the Buckeye Classic Jan. 10 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Bogle won the race with a time of 7.65 seconds. when Sykes decided to further her track career at OSU because of the passion and encouragement she would bring to the team.

“She is a leader, she is probably the smallest. You’ll see she is just tiny … every bit but 5-foot-2 maybe 97 pounds, but she takes stake in this program,” Dennis said. “She wants not only (for) herself to do well but this team to do well. Her spirit and her attitude reflect that as she works hard and encourages her team every day in practice.”

The men’s track team also captured a Big Ten Athlete of the

Week that same day, as Bogle was recognized for his time of 7.65 in the 60-meter hurdles at the Buckeye Classic. Bogle’s time broke his own school record, and sits at the top in the nation.

“This is my first time getting an award so I was just shocked and appreciative,” Bogle said.

Bogle said preseason conditioning was very rigorous, but he pushed himself because he was going into his senior season and had high hopes for himself and his teammates.

Bogle surpassed the expectation

he set for himself and the coaches had set for him.

“We have never opened that fast,” OSU men’s coach Ed Beathea said on Bogle’s start to the indoor season.

Beathea said the team typically has two types of leaders: guys who are very vocal and guys who show up every day focused and work hard. He said Bogle falls under the latter category.

“Demoye isn’t going to be a cheerleader, but he is going to come in and want to get something done every day,” Beathea said. “If you train with him, chances are you are probably going to get something done every day so in that way he is a leader.”

Beathea said what is remarkable about Bogle is that he never ran a hurdle event until his senior year of high school, so he is competing against guys who have twice as many hurdling reps as him, yet he is still the fastest in the country.

“He will leave here having been one of the best hurdlers that we have ever had go through Ohio State and that is saying something,” Beathea said.

Sykes’ goal is to be running in the 2016 Olympics, and Bogle has professional aspirations after OSU as well.

“Hopefully, if God gives me the chance to go pro or a glimpse at that life, I would gladly take it and be appreciative of that experience,” Bogle said.

The women’s team is off this weekend but the men’s team is set to run in Bloomington, Ind., for the Indiana Relays Friday.

Freshmen contributing in big ways for men’s hockey Grant Miller Lantern reporter miller.5617@osu.edu Pucks take funky bounces, sticks break in crucial moments and ice surfaces can vary from location to location.

Home ice advantage is visible in numerous buildings, but perhaps no other arena better demonstrates the buoyant lift of enthused supporters better than Wisconsin’s Kohl Center.

After his team played in the acclaimed arena Saturday night, Ohio State men’s hockey coach Steve Rohlik had no doubt of its place within the game.

“This is the best atmosphere, to me, in college hockey,” Rohlik said in an interview with U.S. College Hockey Online. “The student section doesn’t compare anywhere else.”

That’s what makes the Buckeyes’ 3-1 win over the Badgers Saturday night so impressive. Faced with that atmosphere and a four-game winless streak, OSU (12-9-1, 2-5-1-0) managed to hand No. 9 Wisconsin (14-7-1, 5-3-0-0) only its second home loss of the season.

In a place where it pays to have experience, it turned out to be some of the younger Buckeyes who played a significant part in the win.

First there was freshman goalie Christian Frey

I try to play well defensively and make sure I’m not being a liability out there.

When I get a weekend like this past one, it’s nice to see things pay off.

Nick Schilkey OSU men’s hockey freshman forward, after notching a goal and an assist against Wisconsin who, in only his fourth career start, made 36 saves to hold a team tied for fifth in the nation in scoring to just one goal.

Though his performance has drawn a lot of praise, Frey said he couldn’t have done it alone.

“The guys in front of me made it easy,” Frey said. “We really pulled together as a team and played a great team game, and it was a big win.”

With Frey holding down the defensive end of things, it was freshman forward Nick Schilkey who had a big hand in leading the Buckeyes’ attack.

Schilkey skated nearly the length of the ice to score the game’s tying goal, then helped set up junior forward Nick Oddo to score the winning marker.

Schilkey said he aims to be as consistent as possible while also helping out in the goal-scoring department whenever he can.

“I try to play well defensively and make sure I’m not being a liability out there,” Schilkey said.

“When I get a weekend like this past one, it’s nice to see things pay off.”

Frey, who was added to the roster in December, said he experienced the togetherness of this OSU team from day one.

“All the guys are unbelievable,” Frey said. “I think it’s been an awesome experience for me and I’m really glad I came here.”

With freshmen like Frey and Schilkey combining with seasoned upperclassmen, OSU seems to have found a winning formula.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons Rohlik had a smile on his face after Saturday’s game. It seemed as if he realized a performance like that — one where every player stood up to the challenge — could really shape the Buckeyes’ season.

“I’m proud of the guys that stepped up in the lineup tonight,” Rohlik said in the interview with U.S. College Hockey Online. “I think the NFL says it now, ‘It’s the next man standing.’ That’s kind of been our attitude from goalies, to (defensemen), to forwards, whoever.”

Next up the Buckeyes are scheduled to host a weekend series against Penn State (4-15-1, 0-6-0) Friday at 7:05 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m.
