‘Big Game L’ steps up

You might think that hosting the 2013 National Hockey League All-Star Game would be enough to satisfy Columbus Blue Jackets fans, but for some, it isn’t.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced Saturday during his annual All-Star Weekend address that the city of Columbus, the Blue Jackets and Nationwide Arena will host the 2013 NHL All-Star Game.

“The Blue Jackets did a terrific job of hosting the NHL Entry Draft in 2007 and we have no doubt that we’ll have a good time there with the All-Star game,” Bettman said during his address in Ottawa, Ontario, site of the 2012 All-Star Game.

“We look forward to bringing all of these events and all of our guests to Columbus.”

Just hours later — and about 660 miles away from where Bettman made

the announcement — hundreds of Blue Jackets fans gathered in the plaza outside Nationwide Arena to protest the team, currently buried at the bottom of the league standings. The two events made for a day that a Blue Jackets beat writer described as “peculiar.”

Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman praised the NHL’s announcement in a press release, saying the decision bolsters the city’s reputation as a premier national sports destination.

“The Columbus Blue Jackets are one of the nation’s best examples of sports acting as a major economic catalyst,” Coleman said in the release. “When Nationwide Arena was built in 2000, it was the centerpiece of Columbus’ Arena District, which has revitalized our Downtown and our city and gained national acclaim as one of the best redeveloped urban entertainment complexes in the United States.”

Fundraising for BuckeyeThon easy as pie Kristen Mitchell Lantern reporter mitchell.935@osu.edu In its eleventh year, BuckeyeThon continues to push the envelope for a good cause as the number of participants for its annual dance marathon continues to grow, and they raise the bar for fundraising.

BuckeyeThon is a student organization that hosts a 12-hour annual dance marathon and is one of the largest student philanthropic groups on campus.

The dance event raises money for Nationwide Children’s Hospital; $222,518 was raised during the 2011 marathon and $100,823 in 2010, according to Lantern archives.

The dance marathon also continues to grow in its number of participants every year. In 2011, 1,400 dancers registered for the dance marathon, according to Lantern archives; the anticipated registration for 2012 is an additional 1,000 dancers.

“I would say we are expected to hit 2,450 to 2,500 by the date of the dance marathon,” said

Kiersten McCartney, a third-year in biology and director of dancer fundraising.

So far, more than 2,400 students have registered, with nearly a month left until the event.

“Our goal is to raise $275,000; we’re really hoping to hit that mark. It’ll be just over $50,000 more than last year,” McCartney said.

Each participant is required to pay $100 to register, along with a $10 fee that covers all overhead costs for the event. Many students turn to fundraising to decrease the personal cost of participating.

“My committee and I work to ensure that every dancer that registers for BuckeyeThon has the tools required to raise the $100,” McCartney said.

BuckeyeThon provides students with opportunities such as selling chocolate, selling football helmetshaped mugs, holding letter-writing campaigns to reach out to family members and organizing trips to nearby communities to go door-to-door “canning,” or asking for food donations, McCartney said.

They also take advantage of the crowds of Buckeye fans that come to town during football season.

“One football game, canners will go out for about an hour before the game to tailgates to solicit donations from fans who are in town,” McCartney said.

While these options are available for all students, some elect to come up with their own creative fundraising techniques.

Jenny Tran, a second-year in biology, held an event called “Pie an RA” in her residence hall on Jan. 22, during which she and her friends charged students $1 to throw a pan of whipped cream at a resident adviser in her complex that had volunteered for the cause.

Tran and her friends had hoped to raise $200, but only brought in $50 from the event.

Tran, who participated last year, said she was attracted to the event because of its popularity on campus.

“BuckeyeThon had so much hype and energy,” Tran said. “It’s not something I can do in my hometown, and how can you say no to the cause?”

Whether it’s beer, wine or liquor, a new study says that off-campus-party hosts tend to drink more alcoholic drinks than their guests.

The study also found that on any given weekend, at least 10 percent of students could be hosting a party.

Natalie Milliron, a first-year in business marketing, said this research is definitely in line with her personal experiences.

“Whenever, I go to (off-campus) parties, I would say the people who host them are going pretty crazy,” Milliron said.

Random samples of students were given online surveys on high- and low-risk weekends between 2005-2007, said Cynthia Buettner, assistant professor in the College of Education and Human Ecology and lead author of the study.

Buettner said the research focused on party hosts because it was an audience that had not been closely studied. And the results are not too surprising, Buettner said.

Off-campus party hosts consumed an average of nine drinks while those on campus consumed an average of 4.5 drinks.

Research found that people hosting on-campus parties drink less than those attending.

The average number of drinks consumed by attendees at on- and off-campus parties was about the same: 7.5 drinks.

Students hosting parties on campus might worry about university-sanctioned consequences while off-campus hosts are less likely to do so, Buettner said.

“We know from research that one of the things that makes a difference in people’s drinking is whether they think that the policies and laws around drinking will be enforced and how likely they are to be caught,” she said.

While he agrees with the findings, Tommy Glace, a first-year in radiation therapy, said it all depends on the situation.

“If somebody has all these people in their house they might (not drink) to watch what people are doing,” Glace said. “But it depends on the person.”

Milliron said she agrees there might be something to be said for staying sober if you’re hosting a party.

“I’ve actually had a bunch of friends who have

campus Debate over Somalia’s future continues AYAN SHEIKH Lantern reporter sheikh.51@osu.edu After more than 20 years since the fall of Somalia’s national government in 1991, experts gathered to engage in discussions on ways to improve and rebuild the state of Somalia.

Jibril Mohamed, president and CEO of SomaliCan, a community outreach and advocacy organization based in Columbus, said something has to be done soon.

“Somalia right now has been in a state of anarchy for 20 years, and the situation is getting more complex and more hopeless by the day,” Mohamed said.

Experts on Somali affairs from all across the U.S. and Canada visited Ohio State’s campus Friday as part of a two-day conference called “Somalia at Crossroads: Foreign Intervention, Humanitarian Crisis and Aspirations for Statehood.”

The conference was held in Hagerty Hall, Denney Hall and at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and it involved several panel discussions, question-and-answer sessions and discussions.

Other organizers included Laura Joseph, program coordinator of African studies at OSU; Abdikarim Gole, lecturer in OSU’s Department of African American and African Studies; Abukar Osman, Somali Special Envoy to the U.S. and Abdinur Mohamud, from the Ohio Department of Education.

Somalia has experienced an absence of proper government for more than two decades despite numerous attempts from neighboring African countries, the U.S. and the Middle East to restore the country’s stability and peace.

Mohamed said the recommendations gathered from the conference will be published and shared with stakeholders in the Somali crisis and media outlets.

The Obama administration revealed it’s foreign policy toward Somalia in September 2010, calling it the dual-track approach, which was one thing discussed at the conference.

The policy outlines that the U.S. would engage economically and diplomatically with any Somali political figures, whether they are opposed to the current Transitional Federal Government, and as long as they do not support the Somali extremist

Suspicious package A suspicious package, which turned out to be empty, was reported to Ohio State Police and led to parts of High Street being closed for more than an hour.

University police received a call around 10 p.m. Thursday of a suspicious package at the bus stop on the High Street side of Ramseyer Hall, near the corner of High Street and Woodruff Avenue, according to University police reports.

A perimeter was quickly set, and vehicle and pedestrian traffic was diverted away from the affected area. University police diverted traffic between 17th Avenue and Woodruff avenue. Paul Denton, chief of University police, said occupants of nearby businesses were advised of the situation.

The Columbus Division of Fire Bomb Squad was notified and arrived on location, along with many other emergency-response vehicles.

The Bomb Squad deployed its robot to investigate the package.

The Bomb Squad also decided to shoot the package with a “water shot.” After the package was hit with the water shot, Bomb Squad officials in a bomb-safe suit moved closer to investigate the package. The package was deemed to be safe. A University police report said nothing was in the package.

At about midnight, the situation was deemed safe and responders left the area.

‘Out-Green’ event saw ‘amazing’ support DANI WEDEMEYER Lantern reporter wedemeyer.9@osu.edu Students collectively could save about $2,475 in electricity costs annually after swapping inefficient incandescent bulbs for fluorescent ones with the Undergraduate Student Government.

As a part of USG’s Out-Green the Wolverines event on Jan. 10 – Jan. 12, organizers wanted to increase environmental awareness and compete with Michigan in improving sustainability.

Michigan, due to a delay in its programming, did not compete at the same time and will try to organize an event in the future to compare those numbers to OSU’s.

USG’s sustainability committee also collected 5,382 plastic bags, the petroleum in which could power a car for 384 miles, said Dustin Homan, sustainability committee project director and fourthyear in agricultural and extension education. The event exchanged T-shirts for plastic bags that would later be recycled.

“Our goal was to give away all the T-shirts, and since we asked students to bring five bags to get a T-shirt, that would be 2,000 bags,” Homan said. “We wanted to get rid of the stock of bulbs, which was 495 (due to five that broke), so we met both goals.”

There were more than 495 bulbs recycled because students who brought bulbs after the stock was gone wanted to recycle them anyway to benefit the environment, Homan said.

Homan said USG budgeted $7,500 for the

Out-Green event and their window insulation caroling project in the off-campus area, but about $7,800 was actually spent.

Claire Ravenscroft, a third-year in political science and English and project manager for USG’s marketing committee, said she was interested in creating sustainable habits that students can take with them after graduation.

“I am absolutely thrilled with our results. We

collected 5,382 bags … from students, all of whom seemed very excited to take part in increasing our campus’ sustainability,” Ravenscroft said. “The fact that we ran out of materials well before the event was scheduled to end is obviously great.”

She said if there is another Out-Green event next year, which she would support, she thinks they will be better able to set goals after seeing the tremendous support from the student body this year.

“Because our results were so great this year, I think that we should definitely continue this event,” she said. “The support we received from the student body was amazing — what more of an indication do we need to keep this up?”

Sustainability has been part of our current USG’s focus and goes along with Ohio Stadium’s plan to be zero-waste.

According to the sustainability committee’s website, during the 2009 football season, OSU diverted 63.5 tons of waste, which was 43 percent of all waste, out of landfills. The stadium’s recycling program has been in place since 2007 with red recycling bins around the facility.

Maggie Oliver, the environmental issues committee’s commission chair of the University of Michigan’s student government, expressed interest in setting up an event there to compete with OSU’s collection numbers. In an email to Homan, she mentioned that the Big House is considering moving to no-waste like Ohio Stadium, so there might be potential for stadiumoriented recycling competitions in the future as well.

Ravenscroft said she hopes participants will add sustainable choices to their everyday lives.

“I hope that this event helps students realize how simple it is to make sustainable choices,” she said.

“Small changes, when many people take them, yield big results.”

All-Star game million in media revenue and $12 million in visitor spending, according to the release.

Despite the game’s lucrative implications, fans protested the Blue Jackets’ current on-ice product, which has seen the team earn an NHL-worst 32 points through 49 games in the standings.

Aaron Portzline, a Blue Jackets beat writer for The Columbus Dispatch, said the league’s announcement coupled with the fan protest made for a “weird” day in Blue Jackets history.

“There was such a wide range of events and emotions,” Portzline said. “I don’t think any franchise can be entirely excited they’ve got 250 or 300 people outside of their building protesting for change and a new direction (for the team).”

Todd Sharrock, vice president of public relations for the Blue Jackets, said he stood outside Nationwide Arena Saturday and answered the questions of the protestors.

“We know fans are frustrated,” Sharrock said in an email to The Lantern. “We were there (Saturday) because everyone who attended did so because they care very deeply about our team. We have great appreciation for that passion and commitment. The strength of our fan base is one of the reasons the NHL All-Star Celebration is coming to Columbus a year from now.”

Portzline agreed, saying the protest was evidence of an engaged fan base, something the league likely placed value on during the decision-making process to award Columbus the All-Star game.

“I think it’s reassuring to a lot of people that the fan base is still really engaged and wants (the Blue Jackets) to be a good team,” Portzline said. “I think what this means is that the league sees Columbus as a viable and, in some ways, a thriving, engaged

hockey market.”

The NHL did not immediately return The Lantern’s Sunday request for comment.

Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said the All-Star game will have a significant impact on the city.

“It’s really a great piece of news for the city to be able to host an event like this,” Howson said.

Andy Gerow, a second-year in sports and leisure studies, said he thinks having the game in Columbus is great, but understands why others are protesting.

“I know a lot of people aren’t big hockey fans so I think bringing an All-Star game to Columbus will do a lot for the game and maybe get more attention from people around Columbus and maybe Ohio State too,” Gerow said. “I can understand why people are protesting because we are so bad, but I think you gotta give everybody a chance and maybe they don’t understand how much it’ll do for the team and kind of the city to maybe get more support from the team.”

When All-Star festivities commence less than a year from now, even the fans that protested on Saturday could find themselves getting swept up in festivities.

Portzline, who has covered six NHL All-Star games during his time as a hockey beat writer, said the event will likely consume Columbus’ downtown area.

“What (the All-Star Game) does is it takes over the city,” he said. “You’ll have people coming from Europe. You’ll have Canadian fans coming. It becomes a weekend party. This will be a really good time to own a bar in the Arena District, I can guarantee you that.”

The Blue Jackets continue play after the current All-Star break with a Tuesday game against the San Jose Sharks. The 2013 NHL All-Star Weekend is scheduled for Jan. 26 and 27 next year.

On the other hand, safety could also be a factor that would encourage off-campus party hosts to drink more heavily.

“When you go to parties, you can’t drink to the point where you can pass out, you have to walk home,” Milliron said. “But (off-campus party hosts) can just pass out and go upstairs or go to bed.”

“If you’re having a party, you want to enjoy it,” Layman said.

Layman said money might also be an issue for off-campus hosts. If you have a party and buy alcohol, you’re probably going to drink some of it because you paid for it, Layman said.

Buettner said she hopes students who do host are aware of the risks. “(As a party host), you’re less likely to be able to control the party at your place because you’ve had too much to drink,” Buettner said. “All of the risks that go along with drinking too much are just increased if you’re a party host off campus.”

studentvoice All-Star game a distraction from Blue Jackets’ problems

Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason (1) looks at a Minnesota Wild goal during the 2nd period of an NHL game at Nationwide Arena on Nov. 15, 2011. Minnesota defeated Columbus, 4-2.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Columbus Blue Jackets are downright awful. Awful might not even be a strong enough adjective.

At the All-Star break, the Jackets have played 49 games and have accumulated 32 points. That’s good for dead last in the league.

It’s nine points less than the Edmonton Oilers who reside in 29th place.

Within the tightly-contested Central Division of the Western Conference, arguably the best division in the National Hockey League this year, Columbus is 32 points out of fourth place.

They have a whopping minus 48 goal differential. The Tampa Bay Lightning has given up 165 goals and is the only team to have given up more goals this year than the Jackets’ 163 goals against.

Goalie Steve Mason has been the brunt of much of the criticism this season. He has only five wins in 26 appearances this season, posting subpar numbers in both goals-against-average and save percentage. He ranks last in the

league with a .882 save percentage and second to last with a GAA of 3.43. Not exactly the kind of numbers a franchise goalie is supposed to post. Mason does rank first in one particular stat category, and that’s losses.

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong for Mason. After winning the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 2009, many thought the Jackets had found their net-minder of the future.

But since his Calder-winning season, Mason’s numbers have steadily been on the decline.

It’s becoming more and more obvious every day that it’s time to part ways with Mason. But it won’t be an easy task as Mason has a $2.9 million cap hit until the end of the 2013 season and teams aren’t likely to take on that sort of contract for a player with such poor results.

I’m still on the fence as to whether or not Mason can be a successful NHL goalie, but if it does happen, it sure won’t happen with the Jackets.

Don’t misunderstand this point. I’m not arguing that Mason is the sole reason

the Jackets are struggling this year, he’s merely one of many issues within the team.

The Jackets are in an interesting financial situation. They rank 12th in total spending toward the salary cap, but you wouldn’t think so when you look at their roster. The team is in the precarious position of having to overpay players to come to Columbus.

Look no further than James Wisniewski. Wisniewski, after having his rights traded to the Jackets for a seventh-round pick, signed a six-year deal in the offseason worth a staggering $33 million. That’s the kind of money you give to someone who is expected to be one of your top two defensemen.

While Wisniewski might be a No. 1 or 2 defenseman on the Jackets, that doesn’t say much.

After posting a career-high 51 points last year after spending the season with the Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders, it was fairly obvious that Wisniewski was in line for a raise. And boy, did the Jackets take the bait.

In my eyes Wisniewski has two faults that should have been immediate red flags.

First, Wisniewski has a penchant for getting himself into trouble with the league. Last season, he was suspended two games for a tongue-in-cheek gesture that was caught on live television. The prior season he was suspended eight games for a high hit on one of his former teammates. These incidents were all prior to him being suspended for the first eight games of this season following an incident in a preseason game.

The second problem I see with the Wisniewski signing is that he doesn’t really excel in the defensive aspect of being a defenseman. He has a minus18 plus/minus rating going so far this season. Throwing that kind of money at someone who is a defensive liability is a recipe for disaster.

The worst part about this is that I consider myself a Wisniewski fan. I love the style of game he plays; he’s just not someone you build a defense corps around.

With the Jackets primed to get the first overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, even though nothing they do can guarantee the pick, the so-called “Fail for Nail” campaign has begun to land 18-year-old superstar-in-the-making Nail Yakupov from the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League.

I hate this for two reasons.

First of all, if you pronounce Yakupov’s first name properly, the “Fail for Nail” campaign would read like something closer to “File for Nile.” It just doesn’t quite have the ring to it that “Suck for Luck” campaign, which NFL teams adopted as their postseason hopes slipped away and fans rallied behind college football star Andrew Luck.

Secondly, one player, particularly a winger, cannot carry an entire franchise.

Rick Nash, while a truly great talent, hasn’t been able to lead the team to success. Success starts around a No. 1 center man and without one, the Jackets aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

That being said, it might be hard to pass up someone with such tantalizing skill as Yakupov, who with 101 points last year broke Steven Stamkos’ rookie record of 92 points. If I was the Jackets, I would think long and hard before drafting

Yakupov.

Perhaps my favorite Jackets plot line this year has to be the actions of Blue Jackets majority-owner John P. McConnell.

On Friday, McConnell sent an email to Blue Jackets fans apologizing for the state of the franchise.

“Our goal as an organization is to build a team that wins consistently and competes for the Stanley Cup. Anything less is unacceptable!” McConnell said in the email. “Everything we do in the coming weeks, months and years will be done to that end and everyone in our organization — myself, management, staff, coaches and players — will be held to that standard.”

Good to know that the organization wants to win a Stanley Cup. For a while there, I wasn’t convinced that was the team’s focus.

But hey, McConnell’s heartfelt apology seems to have caused NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to take pity on the franchise.

Bettman awarded the franchise the 2013 NHL All-Star Celebration during his annual All-Star weekend address in Ottawa, Ontario, on Saturday. It comes as a small consolation to those Blue Jackets fans who have stuck with the franchise from the very beginning.

“The Blue Jackets did a terrific job of hosting the NHL draft in 2007 and we have no doubt that we’ll have a good time there, with the All-Star game,” Bettman said in his address.

The event will be great for the city, but it just distracts from the problem that is the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Those who mocked Paterno during scandal shouldn’t be so quick to grieve his death

JAMES GARCIA garcia.299@osu.edu

LANTERN Columnist

Admit it, you made fun of Paterno too.

I was shoving the largest Chipotle burrito known to mankind down my gullet and sipping a beer in Woody’s Tavern on Thursday, attempting to digest the usual scum being televised on the walls.

An episode of “Dr. Phil” featuring an anorexic girl who blamed her mother for letting her starve herself.

Tears were tossed back and forth, while the madman from the deep South barked inanely at them. But something more pathetic and sinister than this awful scene was broadcasting on five screens simultaneously: Joe Paterno’s memorial service.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a lovely service. I would be honored to receive such a highly-attended send-off after I die. But seeing as how I’m revolted by politics and am an avid anti-sports fan, I feel it’s unlikely.

So, let’s recap what I know about the late Mr. Paterno, and bear with me, because the list is filled with subtle nuances that will likely blow your mind.

First, he was somehow connected with rumors of pedophilia — the details of said rumor were probably explained to me at some point, but my lack of interest usually impedes my hunger for sports knowledge.

Second, he died. Again, nothing else on this subject exists in my tiny

mind to supplement this fact.

That’s all folks.

I want this column to speak from a place you aren’t used to hearing sports opinions from: a sports-ignoramus: me.

Sure, I’m completely unqualified to comment on the life and death of someone who probably was a “great inspiration” and all of the other niceties people have been saying about Mr. Paterno. But what you fail to realize is most of what people like me knew about the man before he died was what sports fans were saying about the scandal that led to his being fired from Penn State.

This reminds me of the pre-death and death of Michael Jackson, now hailed as a musical god, which for the

record, I don’t necessarily disagree with. The thing is, you can’t go around talking smack about someone and then pretend you never did when they die — even if it is tragic.

The real tragedy is how you can’t even own up to it. You were a bunch of a--holes on the Paterno and MJ issues and, because I never turn down a good pedophilia joke, so was I. The difference between you and I? I still tell pedophilia jokes about good ol’ MJ. I’ll always love “Smooth Criminal,” but it will also always remind me how he was so good at staying out of prison. And I won’t pretend otherwise. I want to honor the man for what impression he truly left on my life — not some fiction I write to make his friends, family and my own sick perception of mortality feel better.

(Check out: “Michael Jackson Is Dead” by Jon Lajoie on YouTube.)

The only people who deserve to openly mourn the death of Paterno are his family and friends, and you, I guess, as long as you never once laughed at an underage locker-room joke aimed at Paterno or Penn State.

And the same goes for me. When I die, all the people who say terrible things about me after reading this column are not allowed to speak at my funeral or get soggy-eyed when my six-word obituary is read in the local “Penny Saver.”

‘Don’t just come of age, rise to meet it’ in own way

4A

RUTH DE GUIRE de-guire.3@osu.edu

LANTERN Columnist

I am, based on my age, considered an adult by the law, and with this title comes most of adulthood’s correlating rights and responsibilities. But I haven’t served in the military. Nor do I own a car or home. And, although I have held several part-time jobs, I cannot say that I am completely financially independent. In fact, since becoming a legal adult, it has become more apparent to me that the privileges and expectations granted by the law do not necessarily correlate with those held by our contemporary society.

I have fulfilled all of these latter duties by graduating from high school with honors, entering college with a job and scholarship and finding a course of study that will hopefully make me marketable for employment after graduation. So far so good, right?

But as I have realized my dependency

on society’s standards for my sense of adulthood and responsibility, so too have I realized our society’s deficient standards for defining adulthood for its newly-minted members. Why is it that

after 13 years of schooling, it’s generally expected that we’ll enter for at least four more before being able to completely enter society as active members?

Although I don’t take this time of life for granted, in its unique balance between work and play, I can’t help but be frustrated with the discrepancy between my legal status and my social one as a “college undergraduate.” The label implies my relatively deficient professional skills, financial dependency upon loans or otherwise and my obligation to excel in classes, an old and familiar dance between formulaic studying and free thought.

I asked other undergraduate adults their opinions of adulthood within the context of college. Stephanie Telek, a first-year in biomedical engineering, conceded her frustration with the

implications of being a college student.

“The fact that we’re in this little dome of college suggests that I can’t handle the real world yet,” she said.

More often than not, responses admitted to the general process of becoming a full-fledged adult.

“I’m not sure I could define coming of age, but I don’t think I’m there yet. I do think I am transitioning into adulthood,” said Aubrey Rybarczyk, a first-year in speech and hearing science.

I have, as I have grown, found society’s definition of adulthood lacking, especially as I have taken into more serious consideration the implications of the law that judges me as an adult.

The law indirectly challenges me to serve, grow, question, explore and learn through civil engagement and citizenship while society expects me to fulfill the

status quo. Granted, I am in no rush to become mature, serious and sober (as those close to me are painfully aware), but I am impatient with society’s prerequisites required to initiate full-fledged adulthood, in its purest form. Luckily for me though, I have chosen a university that meets my own demands for growth and exploration in order to become the best my country asks me to be.

But the question I pose is, does college do this for you? I often wonder what percentage of undergraduates consciously decided between attending college and pursuing their real passion.

My challenge is this: become extraordinary by seeing beyond what’s expected of you. Don’t just come of age, rise to meet it in the best way you alone are privileged to see fit.

OSU sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. attempts a layup in a basketball game against Michigan Jan. 29. OSU won, 64-49.

Wrestling stumbles against Penn State

SUnday

Score by halves

Lenzelle Smith Jr. is starting to make a habit of stepping up for Ohio State’s men’s basketball team.

For the second time in as many weeks, the sophomore guard made a big impact for the Buckeyes during a high-profile home game.

Smith Jr. had 17 points and 12 rebounds during OSU’s 64-49 win against Michigan Sunday. It was his first career double-double and his 12 rebounds mark a personal best.

Against Indiana on Jan. 15, Smith exploded for 28 points and seven rebounds in an 80-63 win against the Hoosiers.

The performances have earned Smith Jr. a nickname from sophomore forward Jared Sullinger.

“Big Game L,” Sullinger said. “That’s Big Game L for you. When Lenzelle’s rebounding the ball and he’s in tune with the defense, he’s pretty darn good.”

Rebounding led to much of Smith Jr.’s success against the Wolverines.

Eight of Smith Jr.’s 12 boards came on the offensive end of the floor, which is the highest total any Buckeye has recorded this year.

“He had a great feel for where the ball was coming off today,” said OSU coach

Thad Matta. “He’s got a knack for the basketball. That was good to see.”

Smith Jr. stands 6-foot-4 and, as a guard, is not in the mold of a guy who typically grabs a high number of rebounds.

Matta said Smith Jr.’s physical strength is part of what allows him to be successful on the boards.

“He’s stronger than he probably looks,” Matta said. “Today a lot of them came his way and he was able to put them back and finish.”

But Smith Jr. doesn’t always put up gaudy rebounding statistics. On the season, he averages 4.4 rebounds per game.

Against Indiana, it was Smith Jr.’s 3-point shooting, and not his rebounding, that stood out.

He connected on four out of five shots from behind the arc in OSU’s victory.

The fact that Smith Jr. is able to contribute in different ways is something Matta said he’s used to seeing and is something very valuable to the team.

“We sort of need a jack-of-all-trades,” Matta said. “There are so many times a team is going to choose to guard us a certain way, scheme a certain defense. I think that he is really understanding his role.”

Against Michigan, Smith Jr. said he knew he could fulfill his role by crashing the boards. He said he focused on it and capitalized.

In a battle of top-five ranked wrestling teams, No. 5 Ohio State fell, 34-9, against No. 2 Penn State in front of a sold-out crowd in University Park Pa., Sunday afternoon.

“It was a complete mental, physical letdown,” said OSU wrestling coach Tom Ryan. “Overall, it wasn’t a lot of positive to draw from it.”

OSU was only able to win two matches behind the effort of brothers redshirt freshman Logan Stieber and freshman Hunter Stieber.

The two have been the last two weeks’ Big Ten Wrestler and Co-Wrestler of the Week.

At 133-pounds, Logan Stieber pinned Frank Martellotti and, shortly after, at 141-pounds, Hunter Stieber secured an 8-5 decision against Bryan Pearsall.

From 149-pounds on, though, Penn State piled 31 straight points over the course of seven straight wins in a blowout victory for the defending national champions.

While Ryan said Penn State provided some match-up problems, he was still upset that his team didn’t wrestle up to level of competition that they did against Iowa, which the Buckeyes won, 20-9.

“This isn’t about winning and losing. It’s about effort,” Ryan said.

OSU was without 149-pound freshman Cam Tessari and 184-pound redshirt junior C.J. Magrum. Both sat due to lingering injuries.

OSU redshirt freshman Josh Demas grapples with Iowa redshirt sophomore Derek St. John in a 157-pound match Jan. 20.

Demas won the bout, 7-3, and OSU beat Iowa, 21-9.

Between OSU and Penn State, 17 wrestlers, as of the day of the dual, were ranked in the top 25 in their respective weight class.

Penn State, who last beat Iowa 22-12, improved to 9-1 and 5-1 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes, on the other hand, slipped to 9-3 on the year and 3-3 in the conference.

The loss comes nine days after OSU secured what some call its biggest dual win in history against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

This week, however, the Buckeyes were less fortunate on the road, like they have been much of this season with all three losses coming away from home.

OSU will look to rebound at home

against Michigan at 6 p.m. Friday night.

“I do think we we’ll respond,” Ryan said. “We saw what we’re capable of against Iowa.”

Winless streak stretches to 8 games for men’s ice hockey Andrew Holleran Lantern reporter holleran.9@osu.edu Ohio State entered its weekend series against Lake Superior State winless in its last six games, and the streak remains alive.

The No. 6-ranked Buckeyes winless streak increased to eight games this weekend after a 1-0 loss and 4-4 tie to Lake Superior State in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively. OSU (14-8-5, 10-7-5-1 CCHA), is now 0-4-4 in the games they have played this calendar year following a two-game series against the Lakers (14-11-5, 9-9-4-4 CCHA).

The Buckeyes struggled to score in Friday night’s shutout loss, but the offense came alive Saturday.

OSU freshman forward Max McCormick had his first-career hat trick and freshman forward Tanner Fritz tallied three assists, but it wasn’t enough to snap the winless streak. The Lakers answered each of OSU’s four goals, and went on to win the shootout Saturday night, 2-1, following a scoreless overtime to gain an extra point in the CCHA standings.

OSU got things going early Saturday and after 20 minutes, the Buckeyes led, 2-1, thanks to two McCormick goals.

The first-period lead was the first for the Buckeyes since December .

Lake Superior came out firing in the second period, scoring twice in the first 6:31 of the middle stanza to take a 3-2 lead. Both goals were scored on the power play.

The Buckeyes did not take long to respond.

McCormick scored for the third time less than four minutes later to tie the game, 3-3, with 9:42 remaining in the second. OSU freshman defenseman Al McLean tallied at 11:54 to give the Buckeyes a 4-3 lead heading into the final period.

Lake Superior had another answer, however, with a goal at 9:45 in the third period to tie the game, 4-4, which sent the game into overtime after both teams failed to score in the final 10:15.

In overtime, OSU had its chances, including a 5-on-3 power play for 1:50, but the Lakers held strong on defense, stopping all four of the Buckeyes’ shots in the extra session.

OSU senior goalie Cal Heeter had three saves in overtime, adding to his game total of 33.

In the shootout, neither team scored in the first round, but both tallied in the second. In the third round, Fritz’s shot was stopped and the Lakers put one past Heeter to get the shootout win and extra point.

The Buckeyes will take the ice again with a two-game series against Michigan State, starting at 7:05 p.m. on Friday in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center.

“I knew that was going to be our edge, rebounding and just doing the little things,” he said. “I stuck to that early and just got myself in a position where I could get the rebounds. We weren’t making many shots so it was a better chance on getting rebounds.”

Smith Jr. made an impact on the defensive end

conference record and moved their overall record to 19-3.

Matta said winning is something Smith Jr. knows how to do.

“Lenzelle is a winner,” Matta said. “He wants to play well and he wants to help this basketball team. The energy-type plays that he made today was something that definitely gave us a spurt and a boost of energy and that’s the type of things I’d like for him to do.”

Overall the Buckeyes held Michigan to 49 points, which is their lowest scoring output of the season.

“I felt like we were connected (on defense),” Smith Jr. said. “Whenever we come out and we’re connected on defense we pretty much get the job done and stop the other team from scoring.”

The win put the Buckeyes in sole possession of first place in the Big Ten standings with a 7-2

Men’s volleyball splits weekend tournament matches Lisa Barefield Lantern reporter barefield.2@osu.edu The No. 10-ranked Ohio State men’s volleyball team split its too matches in the Ken and Dave Dunlap Invitational this weekend, defeating No. 12-ranked Pacific in four sets before falling to No. 4-ranked Stanford in five sets.

Penn State and Stanford kicked off the series with a rematch of the 2010 NCAA National Championship. Stanford swept PSU in the title game, but victory belonged to the Nittany Lions Friday night.

As the Buckeyes prepared to take the court with Pacific, a moment of silence was held in honor of D.C. Koehl, the OSU volleyball sports information director, who died Thursday. The same was done before Saturday’s match.

The Tigers came out strong Friday and were able to take the first set, 25-19, by taking an early four-point lead that OSU was unable to overcome.

The Buckeyes, led by senior opposite Shawn Sangrey with a match-high 26 kills, claimed the next three sets and the match.

“We took a nice step this weekend, and that’s what I told the kids,” said coach Pete Hanson. “We wouldn’t have been able to do this, play like this, three weeks ago. Our team was just so discombobulated.”

After Pacific fell to PSU, the only team to leave the invitational with two wins, OSU faced Stanford.

Stanford had the early advantage after defeating the Buckeyes in a shaky first set, 22-25.

“We’ve gone down one (set) before and

I don’t think it’s anything to be scared of,” Sangrey said. “But it does hurt a little bit.”

OSU came back in the second set and went on a three-point run to force a timeout at 13-9. The Buckeyes kept a steady lead, but almost let it slip away as they approached set point.

Stanford’s own three-point run put them within one point of OSU before senior outside hitter Mik Berzins sealed the set with a kill, 25-23.

A special guest was introduced during the intermission between the second and third sets to the almost 960 people that attended Saturday’s match.

President E. Gordon Gee, dressed in a gray vest with his signature bow tie, stepped onto the court to lead several fans in a game of “Gee says,” a variation on the game “Simon says,” with a $25 gas gift card from Speedway for the winner.

As Gee attempted to stump the fans, he narrowed it down to five very attentive contestants. Gee gave the oldest remaining contestant the gift card and promised to give $25 to the other four.

The teams retook the court, and the third set was a close one, with 16 tied scores.

At 20-17, Stanford’s senior setter Evan Berry went up for an attack and came down hard on the court, injuring his left knee. Berry was able to return to the sidelines during the fifth set but never re-entered the match.

Back-to-back Sangrey kills ended the set, 26-23.

Stanford maintained a small lead through the fourth set, though the score would tie 13 times during the set. At 20-20, the Cardinal offense began to pull ahead and would force a deciding fifth set.

Sangrey said he is motivated to continue

to compete at a high level in long matches by his teammates.

“We’re playing for each other,” he said.

“We’re motivated to make each other better.”

The Buckeyes were ahead by three when the teams swapped sides of the court. At 9-7, Stanford went on a three-point drive to take the lead and force an OSU timeout.

A missed block by Sangrey ended the set, 12-15, and the match.

“The thing that hurt us coming down the stretch was our serving. We made some really critical service errors,” Hanson said. “And that’s just staying confident, staying aggressive, and when you can do that you’re going to get that serve in.”

Sangrey recorded a match-high 30 kills which tied his career best record. Redshirt freshman setter Peter Heinen delivered 49 assists, another match-high. Junior libero Derek Kues led the team in digs with eight.

The Buckeyes are 1-10 against Stanford.

Their only win was in 1981, the first time the two teams met. They are 10-1 against Pacific.

OSU will travel to University Park, Pa., to take on the Cal-Baptist Lancers on Friday and the Mount Olive Trojans on Saturday as part of the Penn State Tournament. Both games start at 5 p.m.

Columbus honors all things nerdy, geek with 12th annual Ohayocon

the week ahead Monday

and the fans of those businesses, were the ones to conduct the multiple panels.

However, there were some panels where the speakers did not show, leaving attendees disappointed.

Ian Vanauken, who drove from Virginia and dressed as a ninja for the event, said he is hesitant to come back next year because of the lack of coordination for the panels.

But not all panels left participants hanging. Rikki Simons, the voice of GIR from “Invader Zim,” had fans laughing.

Audience members were able to go back in time when GIR’s voice slipped through Simons’ normal voice. Simons also signed autographs at the end of his panel.

Fans could also get voice actors’ autographs in the Artist Alley, where assorted artists of different skill levels displayed their work to sell.

Attendees weaved through dozens of shops where they could buy anything from stuffed animals and body pillows with anime characters printed on them to clothing and accessories. There were also anime films and comic books, even cookbooks with recipes from multiple anime series.

At the panels, fans could also view different anime and amateur anime music

CAITLYN WASMUNDT Lantern reporter wasmundt.1@osu.edu From beloved childhood cartoons, such as “The Fairly OddParents” and various Disney characters to the more popular anime character “Naruto” and everything in between, thousands of costumed fans flooded The Greater Columbus Convention Center Friday through Sunday for the 12th annual Ohayocon.

Fans from all over the country dressed up as their favorite pop culture icons and characters to celebrate the culture they love.

Some fans cross-dressed, like the men who dressed as geishas and the women who went as Link from the “Legend of Zelda” video games. Not only were there anime cross-dressers, but comic book superheroes and various other pop culture icons, such as Finn and Jake from “Adventure Time,” and more.

More than 300 panels filled the three-day convention. The panels varied nearly as much as the costumes. Attendees heard anything about gay sex, from voice actor from multiple anime shows J. Michael Tatum, to basket-weaving tutorials.

It seems obvious that anyone at the top of the professional food chain means a lot of hard work, but goofing off is the key to success for at least three comedy writers at the apex of their field.

A day in the life of a comedy writer consists of a lot of wasted time, said Doug Ellin, creator of “Entourage.”

“If you work a 10-hour day, there’s an hour-and-a-half to two hours of productivity,” Ellin said.

Ellin, as well as Kenny Schwartz, writer and executive producer of “American Dad!,” and David

Javerbaum, former head writer and executive producer for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” spoke to The Lantern after appearing in the Ohio Union Performance Hall Wednesday in an event the Ohio Union Activities Board and OSU Hillel co-sponsored.

Schwartz said while working, he and his fellow staff spend most of their time acting like eighth graders.

“It’s exactly what you would think it is,” Schwartz said. “I sit in a room with 15 other guys, mostly my friends and we come up with d--- jokes and vagina jokes and all kind of terrible things you shouldn’t put on TV, but they do.”

“When you were in eighth grade making d--- and vagina jokes, the teachers and parents said ‘What are

you doing? You’ll never make a living from that,’” Javerbaum said.

“Yeah, now they pay me for it,” Schwartz said.

Working with funny people is what makes the job worthwhile, Javerbaum said.

“Work often didn’t feel like work, it felt like fun,” Javerbaum said.

Ellin said for him, having the ability to shoot wherever or with whomever was part of what made working on “Entourage” special.

“It was such a wish-fulfillment thing,” Ellin said. “I could be a fan of the Yankees and say ‘OK, maybe we’ll shoot with Alex Rodriguez at Yankee Stadium.’ We could make it happen.”

It’s easy to get distracted from the show with office poker tournaments

and talk of the night before, but when it’s time to get back to work, it’s a serious matter. When the deadlines are close and the show must get back on track, it requires focus. But a lack of inspiration isn’t usually the issue when you’re an artist, Ellin said, but said it’s still work.

“When you’re doing television, it’s a job,” Ellin said.

Still, it’s not easy coming up with original ideas and characters. Often, the best ideas come from the lives of real people.

“Entourage” is based on real-life situations that happened to Ellin or his friend, actor Mark Wahlberg. Schwartz and his partner also used their lives

COLLIN HOWARD Lantern reporter howard.772@osu.edu I approached the Ohio Union for the Taste of OSU on Friday a bit unsure of what to expect. But, I grabbed the door handle, pulled it back and like a wave I was hit with warmth, music and the smell of hundreds of dishes being prepared for our enjoyment.

The food was split into two rooms, the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom and the Performance Hall. The Ballroom, the larger of the two, held 23 vendors, while the Performance Hall held 12 more. It was

difficult to try to dodge hungry students wielding plastic cutlery, but when you managed to slide past them and into where the food was being served it was like a huge party. There were smiles throughout the room and laughter was the only thing rivaling the roaring sound of music.

The smells were an experience all their own. You could pass the food being prepared by the Organization of Arab Students, and in a matter of seconds travel to another destination the Hong Kong Student Association represented. Just on the other side, the smell of sausage from the Polish Club was present. The smells

3 of the convention, outfits were falling apart videos, and participate in scavenger hunts and costume contests.

Dance music constantly flowed through the crammed halls and people would break out and dance.

“Most people can’t dance — they are just hopping around to what they think the rhythm is,” said Jared Spencer of Toledo.

ARTS Columnist

If Adam Sandler can write a song about Hanukkah, someone can write a song about Columbus.

The Celebrate Columbus in Song Contest selection process will soon begin. Jan. 31 is the last day to submit an original Columbus-inspired song. The selection process will start Feb. 14. Voters will be able to choose their favorite tracks on song.200columbus.com. The top 10 songs will be chosen for the “200Columbus” CD that will be released in the spring with the winning songs will be announced in early April.

The composers of the winning selections will be awarded $500 and a chance to professionally record their song and perform at events throughout the year.

This is my attempt. It’s called “Ann Arbor’s Got Nothing on This.”

BIANCA BRIGGS briggs.243@osu.edu “How many places can you go where you can meet ‘Help Is On the Way?’ Where you can venture onto the field where the Buckeyes play?

You can take a long walk down the Oval mall, And realize that even the biggest university can feel so small.

Where else can you get Jeni’s Goat Cheese and Cognac (other than Tennessee)?

I think Buckeyes have got my back (on this).

Buckeye Donuts at any hour, you can pick up an apple fritter or three, And enjoy the January weather — snow- and sleetfree.

Where else can the drunks go at 4 a.m.? PJ’s is where they go before bed, It’s the only place I’ve heard of that asking for a Fat Bi--gets you fed.

No city has home-team pride like Buckeye Nation, Check out the Blue Jackets, though a hat trick is unlikely and you may hear screams of frustration.

Columbus is a place where you’ll always feel at home, Where people hear and echo you when you say ‘O-H-I-O.’”

as the basis for the sitcom “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.”

“Basically we said, ‘Let’s write about ourselves,’” Schwartz said.

Working in the television industry has a lot of uncertainty, such as whether the show will get picked up. Ellin said when “Entourage” first aired, he didn’t think there would be any kind of following.

Dressed in steam punk attire, Alex Street, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, said he enjoyed the convention even though there were some scheduling mishaps for the panels.

This was Street’s second Ohayocon. He said one he likes the convention because everyone will be friends with each other because they already share a common interest in anime.

By day three of the convention, costumes had worn down, but that did not damper the high feelings most had from the weekend’s happenings.

“Where else can you party with 8,000 people?” said Doug Lough of Cleveland.

Javerbaum spent time writing for the satirical publication The Onion. He said it was some of the best time in his life.

Currently, Javerbaum is promoting his book, “The Last Testament: A Memoir By God,” Schwartz is rounding out the seventh season of “American Dad!” and Ellin has plans to write a script for a full-length “Entourage” movie.

Schwartz said even after seeing your name on TV every week has gotten old, it becomes special again when your kid sees it.

“It’s gratifying,” Ellin said.

Taste from 1B

Cultural performances complemented the amount of food on hand didn’t contradict each other, but instead brought themselves together into one large, pleasant aroma.

The things that stood out the most were the genuinely friendly members of each organization.

They were unbelievably cordial and were eager to explain what they had to offer. The best example was definitely The Habesha Student Organization.

The six or seven people serving remained all smiles despite long lines.

If food wasn’t your thing, there was plenty of entertainment as well. Cultural performances were held all night long featuring groups such as the African Youth League, Dance Coalition, the Indian Students Association and the Somali Student Association. The stage was constantly surrounded and the railings on all three levels of the Union were lined with spectators.

All of these aspects are what made Friday truly special. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and encourage everyone to attend this event next time. It was such a diverse atmosphere, but strangely educational. The food brought students together, but the atmosphere is what kept them around.
