From a pool in Pomerene Hall to human ashes sealed in the wall of Bricker Hall, Ohio State is littered with hidden treasures.

The whispering wall is located behind the Wexner Center for the Arts. What looks like oddly placed steps that slant downward actually holds an architectural secret.

“If you whisper down the wall, if you’re in the corner where the stairs meet the wall and you whisper to someone on the same row on the other end of the wall, you’ll be able to hear them,” said Falon Rainer, a fourth-year in political science and criminology and a university ambassador.

Near the whispering wall is the Mortar Board Court, tucked away by Weigel Hall. On the ground, surrounded by a low, circling wall, is the Mortar Board seal, laid in the stone. When visitors to the site stand on the circle and speak, they can hear the sound echo in their ears.

“If you’re walking by, tell your friends, tell your roommate,” Rainer said. “They’ll think you’re crazy at first, sure, but make them try it.”

From the Oval, students can see the building that houses one of the most important men on campus, OSU President E. Gordon Gee. But that is not the only interesting fact about Bricker Hall. It also has an eerie history.

In the past, the building used to house the Board of Trustees office, Rainer said. One of the trustees and former OSU cheerleader, Herbert Atkinson, said before he died that he never wanted to leave Bricker.

When he died he was cremated, and his ashes were sealed in a wall. The lights in that room stay on day and night.

University staff say it’s Atkinson watching over the university, Rainer said.

To the left of Bricker Hall is University Hall, known as the “postcard building.”

When OSU opened as an agriculture and mechanical school in 1870, University Hall was the only building on campus. During a “Become a Nut”

Head trauma: Bad to worse in one hit Athletes who play with concussions are at risk for potentially fatal consequences This is the last part of the three-part series on concussions.

Today’s story is about Second Impact Syndrome.

How a concussion occurs

Football players can suffer traumatic brain injuries from high-impact, head-to-head collisions on the field.

Football is a sport of brain-rattling collisions, and concussions have become common at every level of competition. But an uncommon condition associated with the aftermath of such injuries is often fatal for the youngest players.

Second Impact Syndrome occurs while the brain is recovering from an injury and suffers another blow. Because the brain is vulnerable after an initial injury, a relatively weak force can cause irreparable damage. If the brain’s ability to regulate blood flow is obstructed, a patient can die in as little as three minutes, according to sportsmd.com.

In 2008, Jaquan Waller, 16, was killed after playing in a high school football game in Greenville, N.C. A medical examiner attributed his death to Second Impact Syndrome.

The condition is more common among teenagers and children because their brains have not fully developed.

“It doesn’t happen to everyone that’s still symptomatic, but it does happen,” said Richard Rodenberg, a physician at Ohio State and Nationwide Children’s Sports Medicine. “And when it does happen, 50 percent of those kids statistically are at risk for death, and 100 percent of them will have a disability or suffer from permanent brain damage.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1.6 million to 3.2 million concussions occur every year in sports and other recreational activities.

For the third consecutive year, Ohio State broke its record for student population, and the university is spending millions to make room for its growing numbers.

To fit those students on campus — along with increasingly larger future freshmen classes — the university plans to spend $290 million expanding and improving campus facilities.

OSU plans to complete the South Campus High Rise Renovation and Addition Project by August 2013. The project will connect Park Hall to Stradley Hall and Steeb Hall to Smith Hall, providing room for 360 more students, said Molly Calhoun, assistant vice president for Student Life, in an e-mail.

The university also plans to complete the Hall Complex 2 expansion, a new six-story dormitory being built behind the 11th Avenue Parking Garage that will add 526 beds by 2012, Calhoun said.

The budget includes completed renovations of Jones Tower and the Lane Avenue Residence Hall

and the ongoing renovation at Kennedy Commons, she said.

“In addition, we are currently working on a plan that would envision more housing in the north and (Olentangy River) districts,” Calhoun said. “The details have not been worked out, but we have plenty of capacity in those areas to add up to 4,000 additional beds if needed.”

campus Tornado warning shuts down facilities Ally Marotti Lantern reporter marotti.5@osu.edu Tornado sirens sounded throughout campus Tuesday afternoon as high-speed winds and heavy rain whipped central Ohio and left thousands without power.

Franklin County and surrounding areas were on a tornado warning for about 20 minutes shortly before 2 p.m. as a result of rotating storm clouds, according to the National Weather Service. There were no tornados or funnel clouds confirmed in the storm as it passed through the area on its way east.

Hail and winds up to 60 miles per hour were reporting during the storm caused no serious damage on campus, university officials said.

However, several campus facilities shut down during the tornado warning.

“When there are tornado warnings, we actually have to shut down the entire facility,” said Lyndsey Gall, a transfer student who works at the Adventure Recreation Center on West Campus.

Anyone using the facility has to leave or go to the locker rooms, which serve as a tornado shelter.

The locker rooms “are like a giant cement block,” Gall said.

Other recreational facilities that don’t offer shelter from a tornado had to evacuate during the warning.

Michael Brown, a third-year in Spanish who works at Jesse Owens South, said about 20 people had to evacuate the facility from 1:55 to 3 p.m.

On the other side of campus, students at Jesse Owens North had to evacuate and go to Drackett Tower for shelter.

“We had some members join us in the dorm and stayed there the whole time,” said Jessica Barnum, a third-year in aviation and management and facility manager at Jesse Owens North.

That gym was shut down from 2:10 to 2:50 p.m.

“Some people waited outside the door for 45 minutes until we opened again,” Barnum said.

The RPAC went into a 40-minute lockdown during the warning.

“People have the option to leave or go down to our locker rooms or in the stairwells,” said Sidney

Mich. beating OSU in organ donor challenge sarah pfledderer Lantern reporter pfledderer.2@osu.edu The Buckeyes have been undefeated against Michigan on the field for the past six years. But if the annual Buckeye-Wolverine Challenge for Life ended today, Ohio State would lose.

The Buckeye-Wolverine Challenge for Life between OSU and the University of Michigan began in 2006. It challenges the schools to register as many new organ, eye and tissue donors as they can before the rivalry commences on the field.

OSU has crushed the Wolverines the past four years, but this year, Michigan is leading by nearly 16,000 new registered donors.

Fall a busy time for only full-time dietician at OSU nicole frie Lantern reporter frie.1@osu.edu When Janele Bayless was in college, she gained the “freshman 15.”

Rather than ignoring it, Bayless lost the weight in a healthful way and has maintained her weight for “five or six years,” she said.

As a wellness coordinator for the Student Wellness Center and the only full-time registered dietitian at Ohio State, Bayless said she wants to help OSU students avoid and overcome the same struggles she faced as an undergraduate.

She works with the Student Wellness Center’s nutrition counseling service, which began in summer 2006.

Bayless said she has had more than 1,400 nutrition appointments in the last four years.

Throughout the past year, she has met with 200 students who were new to nutrition counseling and 40 students who she had already counseled.

Before scheduling an appointment, students fill out a nutrition questionnaire and a three-day food log found on the Student Wellness Center’s website. The questionnaire is broken into three sections: general information, physical activity and dietary habits. Participants are asked questions regarding physical activity, unhealthful or dangerous eating habits and typical meals.

Tiffany Zwick, a first-year in health information management and systems, recently participated in a nutrition counseling session with Bayless.

“I never felt insecure,” Zwick said in an e-mail.

“And I felt that I could really relate to Janele, and that she was not there to judge me but to help.”

New appointments are common in the fall, Bayless said.

“Usually there’s a big rush to see a dietitian when they first come or are living off-campus for the first time,” she said. “Usually fall and winter seem to be the busiest times.”

Bayless said she doesn’t think the approaching food-associated holidays — including Halloween and Thanksgiving — account for the increase in visits.

Zwick agreed, saying the holiday season did not particularly factor into her decision to meet with Bayless. She wanted to learn how to eat better, achieve her “ideal body” through exercise and eating plans, and avoid the “freshman 15,” she said.

Stephen Valentine, a first-year in engineering, said people he knows would be more likely to work out than attend a nutrition counseling session.

Valentine also expressed concern about the ratio of full-time dietitians to OSU students, saying it might pose a challenge if “a ton of people are trying to get to” one person.

Though the challenges of being a full-time dietitian for the Student Wellness Center include emergencies, such as eating disorders, or limitations, such as not being able to perform blood work, Bayless said she loves working with college students.

“I figure I have one shot to be with them, so I want to make it thorough,” she said. “It’s really neat to see when a person just ‘gets it.’ There’s a life that comes back into them when they realize what they’re doing isn’t working.”

Treasures from 1A

Building sides facing Oval have remained unchanged tour on Oct. 6, a program for freshmen, Rainer said students and professors lived in the building, and all classes were held in its rooms. Its basement even housed animals as a part of a veterinary museum.

The iconic building caught fire and was demolished in 1971. It was rebuilt in 1976 in the image of the original building. The building’s lampposts, archway and flagpole are all that remain of the original building.

The “long walk,” the only brick path on the Oval, is another part of OSU history. It memorializes the day when students threw bricks at police during a 1970s riot for women’s rights, equal representation for blacks and bringing an end to the Vietnam War, said Lindsay Seitz, a third-year in human development and family science and a “Become a Nut” tour guide.

University legend says that if a couple walks the entire path without anyone crossing them as the chimes of Orton Hall ring, they will be together forever, Seitz said.

Orton Hall might be known for its bells, but it has other secrets. The building is not made of brick but is covered in a variety of rocks. It is stratigraphically correct, meaning if it was pushed into the ground, the layers of rock on the building would line up with the layers of rock in the earth, Rainer said.

It’s also said to house a ghost.

President Edward Orton’s office was located behind the small window in the bell tower. He was often visible working by candlelight during the night, Rainer said. Some say that to this day, students see the light flickering behind the window of the past president’s office.

On the other side of campus, on Cannon Drive, an abandoned, ivy-covered building used to be the pride of OSU. Formerly known as the Cyclotron Building, it used to hold a mini-particle accelerator and was connected to the neighboring building by an underground tunnel, according to the John H. Herrick Archives. The building now remains unlabeled.

“That was something that was once fancy and very high-tech and the pride of the university, and

now it’s overgrown and abandoned, and no one even knows what it is,” said Joshua Cain, a former employee of Facilities Operations and Development at OSU. Pomerene Hall, which is used for a variety of classes, including dance, and also houses Campus Dining Services and the Office for Disability Services, was built for other reasons.

When the hall was built in 1922, it was intended to be a women’s gymnasium. In the March 25, 1919, edition of The Lantern, it was referred to as the “Women’s Union.” It held women’s physical education classes and offices, lounges and meeting rooms for women and a swimming pool that is still there.

The ROTC Building, also known as Converse Hall, was built with alternate intentions as well.

In 1942, Converse Hall was built as a storehouse for the old ROTC building, known as the Armory, which was located where the Wexner Center stands now, Cain said. When the Armory burned down, the ROTC program was relocated to the storehouse. The program has remained there for more than 50 years.

“In the front of that building, there are big, tall windows with a lock on it. They were actually doors where you could drive vehicles into the storehouse,” Cain said. “I talked to a gentleman that said they actually used to have a couple tanks in there that they used as learning aids.”

During World War I, the university became an officer training center. It had barracks, cavalry buildings and firing ranges, Cain said. Most of those additions still exist on campus.

Some more well-known buildings on OSU’s campus include Hayes Hall and the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library.

Hayes Hall, named for President Rutherford B. Hayes, is one of the oldest buildings on campus and from an aerial view resembles a Block “O,” Rainer said.

Thompson Library has undergone multiple renovations since its construction. But like all the buildings surrounding the Oval, the side facing the Oval has not changed.

“No matter when you attended school at Ohio State, when you graduated, when the last time you were here,” Rainer said, “if you’re in the Oval, you’re going to feel at home.”

Concussions from 1A

Athlete denial of injuries a challenge, athletic director says The New York Times reported that since 1997, at least 50 youth football players, highschool aged or younger, from 20 states have died or sustained serious head injuries on the field.

Although it’s hard to determine which athletes are in greatest danger of Second Impact Syndrome, dodging the disorder is not difficult.

“It’s really unknown who’s at risk for this and what the factors are that lead to death in those cases,” Logan said. “Fortunately, it’s also something that’s totally preventable if we can recognize the symptoms of concussions.”

Logan said concussion symptoms include chronic headaches, attention problems, shortterm memory difficulties, sleeping problems and fatigue.

Although Second Impact Syndrome can be avoided, there are instances when the concussed athletes’ symptoms go unnoticed, or athletes aren’t correctly treated.

OSU athletics director Gene Smith said

OSU to add 100 freshmen a year “We want to be one of the very best public universities in the country and world.”

Besides building projects, OSU’s plan to become one of the best calls for increases in student enrollment.

According to the Fifteenth Day Enrollment Report for autumn, 64,077 students are attending the main and regional campuses this year, a 1.4 percent increase from last Autumn Quarter.

This year, the Columbus campus also posted a recordhigh population of 56,064, a 1.9 percent increase from 2009.

The record-breaking quarter comes on the heels of OSU’s announcement of a strategic enrollment plan titled “From Excellence to

game, I went to the doctor and it ended up being one of the two major concussions I’ve had.”

Thompson, who had never heard of Second Impact Syndrome, said peer pressure can factor into playing though head injuries.

Playing with a concussion “was a heat-ofthe-moment thing, and of course I wanted to stay in the game,” Thompson said. “But at the same time, a lot of people don’t look at concussions as serious injuries. They give it a negative spin and say, ‘Well, I know a ton of people that have played with concussions before, so why aren’t you playing?’ Then you feel more obligated to play.”

Doctors say that mentality is dangerous.

“That’s the scary aspect,” Rodenberg said, “when (athletes) hide their symptoms.”

players are not always honest about their injuries.

The tough part is “getting the players to admit it,” Smith said. They say, “‘I’m a player.

No disrespect, I didn’t come here to get a philosophy degree. I came here to go pro.’

That’s the mentality we get when they get to us.”

OSU club football team quarterback Bryan Thompson, who estimates he has suffered seven or eight concussions since he started playing football in the fourth grade, said he has played through a concussion.

“Once in high school during a game, I had an obvious concussion. I even walked toward the wrong sideline. As the trainer evaluated me, I sort of snapped out of my dementia. It was a close game, so I said, ‘I’m fine,’ and went back in,” Thompson said. “After the

Eminence: The One University Plan.”

For the past two years, the university has been holding the freshman class to about 6,600 students, said Allen Kraus, the director of marketing and strategic communications for the Office of Enrollment Services.

One goal of the plan is to add about 100 freshmen a year to the Columbus campus from 2011 to 2015, Evanovich said.

For OSU President E. Gordon Gee, the new record represents an important step toward that goal.

“These latest measures of distinction are important mile-markers in assuring that we are fulfilling our profound public purpose as Ohio’s landgrant and research university,” Gee said.

Everyone at the gym had to go to the basement around 1:45 p.m. when there was an announcement that Franklin County was under a tornado warning, said Lexi Roman, a fourth-year in special education.

After about half-an-hour, they were allowed to go back to their classrooms, she said.

But five minutes later, Roman and her classmates heard the announcement again.

The teacher kept teaching, Roman said, but someone came and sent the class back to the basement for another 15 to 20 minutes.

“It felt dumb because we were wasting time, but I guess it makes sense,” Roman said. There are “no TVs or anything down there, so you were just sitting and waiting. You had no idea about what was going on outside.”

Power outages were also reported throughout the day.

student voice Halloween stereotypes are just for fun LANTERN Columnist

For the last few weeks, I’ve been searching for the perfect ensemble for Halloween. My friends and I have decided to go as the Disney princesses. I chose Mulan. My quest for the cutest costume ended when I found a match titled “SEXY LADY NINJA WARRIOR ADULT HALLOWEEN COSTUME.” I’ve seen worse titles. But it got me thinking about stereotypes and how they affect views of certain groups. I wanted to be Mulan, so I VANESSA SPATES looked for a “typical” geisha or ninja spates.3@osu.edu costume, preferably with a dragon on it. Why? Because Mulan is a Chinese female. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Do I generalize and think all Chinese or Asians are the same?

Of course not, but when it comes to Halloween, it seems anything goes.

“

”

It’s the honest and brutal truth that stereotypes make perfect costumes.

This goes along with political correctness in a way, but I think there’s a fine line between being correct and being respectful. Will we ever see KKK costumes? No, because those morons exist in real life. What about the infamous illegal-alien costumes that got pulled in 2009 for being offensive? I honestly think they’ll make a big reappearance.

In the past couple years, I’ve seen Native American chiefs, Mexican mariachis, guidos, “gangstas,” rednecks and so many other costumes that thrive off the dreaded stereotype. Now some people might hem and haw about how these costumes perpetuate harmful ideas about a larger group and maybe they have a point. Those people can start a

campaign to pull all potentially harmful and stereotypical costumes off store shelves to prevent damage to a particular group.

If that happened, what would people dress up as on Halloween? It’s the honest and brutal truth that stereotypes make perfect costumes.

This year, the most popular costume is Antoine Dodson (if you don’t know who he is, you’ve been living under a rock or you’re older than 40), the “young hero” who saved his sister from a potential rape and told a news reporter his story. It was converted into a popular song, which is available on iTunes.

Will I be offended by the hordes of people pretending to be a black man from a poor neighborhood? No, because I understand the point.

Becky from Sorority X is dressing up as Antoine to have fun, not to offend me.

I think dissenters and haters alike should quit complaining and realize that Halloween is fun and not at all serious. And if someone is really offended and wants to make a stand, go to Dublin or Upper Arlington and march up to a sea of third graders dressed up as cowboys, Indians, ghosts, witches and ninjas, and tell them they’re wrong. See how far that will get you.

On your day off class, make time to honor veterans LANTERN Columnist

In a little more than two weeks, many of us will be elated to have a day off from classes. We have been going full throttle and have not had a second to breathe between Welcome Week and Homecoming. Many people might start their weekend early that Thursday, but I am preparing cards to send to friends and family who have served in the military. It is an opportunity to demonstrate gratitude.

In case you have not checked your calendar recently, I am talking PATRICIA CUNNINGHAM about Veterans Day. The fact is that cunningham.212@osu.edu there are many veterans coming to Ohio State, Columbus State and Franklin University because of reforms to the G.I. Bill that make it easier for veterans to return to school. That transition is not a cakewalk.

Several weeks ago, I read the most alarming fact — at least 6,500 female veterans are homeless. I know homelessness is a huge issue for the U.S., but I had never thought about the possibility of veterans in that level of devastation. Among the homeless population in America today, approximately a third are veterans. In general, women are 24 percent of the homeless population.

According to the Veterans Affairs Center for Women Veterans, there are approximately 1.7 million women veterans in America today, and they make up approximately 15 percent of the active duty forces.

Female veterans can be at risk for homelessness because many lack support as they transition out of active duty. Women are more likely to be primary care providers to children and when they have trouble securing housing, they and their children are at risk of being homeless.

I come from a family of soldiers. Men and women in my family have served from the Air Force to the Army and none of them ended up homeless. That does not mean I can ignore the issues facing thousands of men and women who have faithfully served this country.

I think about the legacy of more than 1.7 million women who have bravely served this country, and I believe I can make the effort for at least one day. Perhaps some of us will not send a card, but at least attend the Veterans Day events here at the university and in the city.

There are countless opportunities every day to remember and honor our veterans. I hope you will take advantage of one of those in the coming week.

Obesity problem hinged on access to healthful foods grocery stores (walking is not an option, and there are no buses).

One store is in a nice, relatively well-off suburb. The other is in the rural, hard-hit town I live in. The store in the suburb is well-stocked with fresh produce, a great butcher and all sorts of gorgeous prepared foods.

The store in the tiny rural town? You’d be hard-pressed to find a decent-looking bell pepper there. Did I mention that it is impossible to get there via public transportation? And that it’s located off a busy road that isn’t all that safe for pedestrians?

And that the vast majority of the town isn’t within walking distance anyway?

That is a good example of a

LANTERN Columnist

Have you heard of a food desert? No? Let me enlighten you.

Food deserts are areas where there is a lack of access to healthful food — or in some cases, any food. It might be because of a lack of stores or a lack of transportation to stores (if you can’t drive or don’t have a car and there’s no public transportation where you live, that’s going to seriously impede your ability to get to the grocery store), or a lack of healthful foods at the store.

Let me illustrate this with a story. I grew up in a tiny little town in upstate New York. My house is about a 10-minute drive from each of the two nearest

DOROTHY POWELL powell.447@osu.edu food desert. Even if the residents of my town had the resources to buy lots of fresh produce, if they also lack the transportation to get

to the nicer store, they’re out of luck. If people don’t have access to the nicer store and don’t want to try new foods, they are not likely to try the dilapidatedlooking fresh foods at the closer store (there are few things less appetizing to me than a witheredup bell pepper).

So what does that mean?

Well, first of all, America is riddled with food deserts. There are huge pockets of this country where most residents are simply incapable of getting fresh produce. How can we whine about an obesity epidemic when a huge chunk of those who are most at risk for obesity — those in lower socio-economic strata — are also those less likely to have

access to the foods required for a healthy lifestyle?

Attitudes toward food in this country need to change. People focus on the idea that being skinny is the same as being healthy. They forget to make sure everyone has access to healthful foods.

Now, I don’t pretend to be the diet police. Anyone monitoring the amount of butter I buy would probably have a heart attack simply from seeing that much cholesterol. And, frankly, I couldn’t care less what most people actually put in their mouths. I have better things to do, like catch up on last week’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” What I care about is making sure everyone

has access to good, healthful food. Whether they choose to eat it is their business.

And that is where the problem lies. How many millions of people in this country don’t eat fresh fruit or vegetables because they can’t get them, either because of a food desert or because of monetary concerns? How many of those millions are obese? I think we need to stop worrying about the numbers on the scale and start trying to figure out how to get fresh produce into the homes of those who want it.

We are never going to become a healthier country if we leave half of it behind.

Enjoy Halloween, but remember those who can’t afford costumes — or a meal LANTERN Columnist

For most of us, Halloween is a great celebratory occasion.

Growing up, it was one of the holidays we would look forward to the most, with the traditional scary costumes and candy-gathering. As we have transitioned to college, it’s still a highly important occasion, as the candy-gathering is slowly replaced by elaborately themed parties. All in all, that night is still one of the most fun every year.

Sadly, for many Ohio families, Oct. 31 is just another day among HANY RASHWAN weeks of hunger and hardship. The rashwan.1@osu.edu Mid-Ohio Food Bank, a branch of Feed America, estimated that 40,000 people receive emergency aid from a food pantry every week

in Ohio. In just the last year, more than 248,000 people — including 86,975 children and 17,935 seniors — received emergency food through Mid-Ohio.

The cold season is especially grueling in Ohio, as many of us have undoubtedly experienced on our walks to class the past few weeks. Yet it’s been even more excruciating for many of our fellow Ohioans. More than 57 percent of the people served by Ohio’s food pantries have had to choose between paying the utilities and buying food, according to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank’s 2010 local hunger study. Forty-three percent had to choose between the mortgage and food.

Many Ohio State students do their best to help out, pitching in by giving away food items and volunteering at food pantries. One of the most prominent Halloween events for the needy was conceived by a Buckeye.

Sunday will be the third annual Very Sharey Halloween event, a canned food drive sponsored by OSU’s Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. At 1 p.m. on Halloween, students will gather at the Wexner Plaza before they go to surrounding neighborhoods collecting cans for the Mid-Ohio

Food Bank. The student organization with the biggest showing gets a prize.

It’s important to realize just how fortunate we are. The vast majority of us go through the week without worrying about food, shelter and other necessities. Many don’t have those simple luxuries that we take for granted.

Giving back shouldn’t be hard and it doesn’t take away much from our daily routines.

This Halloween, we should all have fun wearing our elaborate costumes and battling the cold weather to go out with friends. But as we put on our costumes, let’s remember that many don’t have the luxury of such comfort. As we feel cold chills when we go out, let’s remember that many don’t have a way to combat that cold. Let’s remember that many around us have no shelter or food.

Giving back not only helps the community prosper and grow, but it also helps us better ourselves as individuals, as it gives us a sense of relief and comfort when we help out a neighbor. Let’s remember that this Halloween and take some time to help someone else.

Donations from 2A

Single donor can save 8 lives, according to Lifeline of Ohio Scroggy’s wait time of six months was shorter than most, he said, because “not everyone is as fortunate to have a living donor step up for them as I was.”

Without the transplant, he would not have been able to continue his education at OSU, participate in the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games in Madison, Wis., or above all, stay alive, Scroggy said.

The U.S. Transplant Games are Olympic-style competitions for transplant recipients and donors. Scroggy won a bronze medal in the 5K road race and 4x400-meter relay and a silver in racquetball and the 800m.

The purpose of the Transplant Games is to “show people organ and tissue donation works,” said Ryan Zinn, OSU alumnus and interim director of Technology Licensing and Commercialization.

Wednesday October 27, 2010

Zinn received a heart transplant in 1988 during his sophomore year of high school.

“I was told to prepare to live six months or wait for a transplant,” Zinn said.

Like Scroggy, Zinn had a shorter wait for his transplant compared to many, as he received a heart from an anonymous donor three weeks after being put on the transplant list. He later discovered his donor was a 20-year-old who was in a local auto accident.

Zinn said he still writes thank-you letters to his donor’s family.

Lewis said Zinn is becoming a “famous face” at the U.S. and International Transplant Games.

Zinn specializes in sprinting events and has competed in the competition since 1992, winning more than 35 medals and running in two Olympic Torch Relays. He recently competed at the International Transplant Games in Gold Coast, Australia, and will travel to Sweden next year to compete in the World Transplant Games.

Transplantation “is an opportunity to leave a legacy by saving or enhancing the lives of others,” Zinn said. “I’m not

gonna take (my organs) with me, so if anyone else can use them, then more power to them.”

Scroggy expressed similar sentiments.

“Helping to continue the life of another person after my death by donating my organs is one of the greatest gifts a person can give,” he said.

A single donor can save the lives of eight people and enhance the lives of 50 others by donating organs and tissues, according to Lifeline of Ohio.

Zinn and Scroggy both registered as organ, eye and tissue donors when they received their licenses.

Although the Buckeye-Wolverine Challenge for Life tallies only the number of newly registered donors before Nov. 25, Lewis said registered donors can participate by encouraging their peers and family members to register.

The Wolverines are pushing harder than OSU because they are tired of losing, Lewis said. She said she expects more promotional events closer to the big game.

“The bottom line is lives are being saved,” she said.

More docs performing rare heart procedure debbie knight Lantern reporter debbie.knight@osumc.edu

Doctors at the Ohio State University Medical Center are trying something new for heart patients. Not only are they using patients’ wrists to access blocked arteries near the heart, but they are also sending patients home the same day.

Dr. Quinn Capers IV, interventional cardiologist and director of Peripheral Vascular Interventions at OSU Medical Center, estimates that only 10 to 20 hospitals nationwide send patients home the same day as the procedure.

This medical procedure is performed when the blood vessels near the heart become blocked and the flow of blood is restricted or stopped to some areas of the heart.

Doctors can use an artery in the wrist to thread a small balloon to the blocked blood vessel. The balloon is then inflated to re-open the vessel.

Often, doctors implement a small piece of wire mesh tubing, called a stent, to keep the vessel propped open. The procedure restores blood flow to the heart.

In the U.S., only 1.3 percent of all stent procedures are performed through the wrist.

Most stent procedures use a large blood vessel in the patient’s inner thigh, according to a report in the August 2008 Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiology Interventions.

If the stent procedure is done using the inner thigh, the patient must remain in bed rest for several hours after the procedure to reduce the risk of bleeding.

Most of those patients stay overnight at the hospital, Capers said.

Patients who undergo the stent procedure through the wrist, however, can sit up and walk around immediately after the procedure. There is also less risk of bleeding and other complications. And now some patients can go home a few hours after the procedure, he said.

“Patients love the … stent procedure through the wrist and many now ask for it,” Capers said.

For the doctor, using the radial artery in the wrist rather than the femoral artery in the thigh is a technically difficult procedure.

“The skill level needed to perform the procedure is the only real challenge, and it can be overcome with experience,” he said.

Dr. Steven J. Yakubov, interventional cardiologist with MidOhio Cardiology and Vascular Consultants, said about 60 percent of the stent procedures he performs at Riverside Methodist Hospital are through the wrist.

Most of the doctors in Yakubov’s practice continue to use the femoral artery in the thigh for the stent procedure. They have experience with that procedure and do not see a reason to learn a new technique, he said.

One of Yakubov’s colleagues continues to do about 90 percent of his procedures through the artery in the thigh. Dr. N. Howard Kander, interventional cardiologist with MidOhio Cardiology and Vascular Consultants, said he has little interest in using the wrist procedure.

He was trained using the femoral technique and is pleased with how well the procedure has worked for the past 20 years, he said.

Dr. Morton J. Kern, an interventional cardiologist and associate chief of cardiology at University of California Irvine Healthcare, performs about 50 percent of heart procedures through the wrist.

Patients who have had a heart procedure through the thigh and then have the procedure done through the wrist find it an improvement, he said.

“Universally, they love it,” Kern said.

The public has been clamoring for a playoff system in college football for years. Although Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee says the sport will likely never adopt such a setup, athletic director Gene Smith fears that a growing number of the sport’s policymakers are starting to accept the idea.

“Might it get to that? Yeah, because some people have that vision in our business,” Smith said in an interview with The Lantern last month. “Some people in our business want that. I’m not one of them though.”

Recent realignment has strengthened major conferences, including the Big Ten and Pac-10. During the summer, rumors

travis kozek Senior Lantern reporter kozek.2@osu.edu After defeating Purdue on Saturday, Ohio State hits the road this weekend for the third time this season as the No. 11-ranked Buckeyes take on Minnesota.

For the Buckeyes, there is no place like home. OSU has not played its sharpest games on the road, struggling at Illinois and losing at Wisconsin.

“We need to go on the road and play better than we’ve played on the road,” coach Jim Tressel said. “We head to Minnesota, and it will be the first time for any of us on our team to ever have seen the stadium, let alone play in it, so that will be exciting for us. And it’s an evening primetime game, and our guys will get excited about that.”

Although OSU maintains a 1-1 road record to this point, Tressel is content with his team’s effort away from the Horseshoe.

“We’ve played two pretty good teams on the road,” he said. “I haven’t looked at our two trips and said, ‘Oh gee, I don’t think they were focused or I don’t think they understood or they let Andy Gottesman / Lantern photographer

Ohio teams headed in opposite directions Ohio’s two NFL teams are headed in opposite directions.

Even with similar records of 2-4 (Cincinnati) and 2-5 (Cleveland), they couldn’t appear more different.

The NFL is occasionally mocked as the “No Fun League” for its touchdown-celebration penalties. Cincinnati is a team consumed with sorrow.

The brand of discombobulated football the Bengals are playing right now isn’t even laughable or “Bungalable.”

It’s sad.

Even more depressing than the drive-crippling false starts and overall lack of focus is that it seems as if the team doesn’t enjoy going to work on Sunday afternoons.

Ever since the offseason signing of Terrell Owens, the Who Dey nation heard this team was the most talented Bengal team since 1988, the year of its last Super Bowl appearance.

But when talent and discipline don’t mesh in the NFL, a team quickly becomes an embarrassment. That leads to players blaming each other or a coach, which in turn ends in a lost season.

The Bengals are the Midwest’s version of the Dallas Cowboys. They haven’t turned against each other yet, but a few more gloomy losses might do the trick.

I could go on about the offense lacking identity and creativity and the defense’s pathetic pass rush, but those problems are miniscule in the big picture.

Ohio State junior point guard Samantha Prahalis spent her off-season studying tape of Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, although she’d rather keep that a secret.

“Don’t tell nobody that,” Prahalis said. “I am a die-hard Lakers fan.”

At 5-feet-7-inches, Prahalis said she chose to study Rondo because she saw a little of herself in the all-star point guard while she was watching him take on her favorite team in the NBA Finals.

“He’s not that big as a point guard but he’s among giants. He’s not afraid to go to the lane, and when he goes into the lane he always has something in his arsenal that shocks you,” Prahalis said.

“There’s always big girls around me. I just got to try to cut, weave, pass, do anything I can to get to the basket, or get my player a shot.”

A native of Commack, N.Y., Prahalis credits Lakers guard Kobe Bryant as her inspiration to be a Lakers fan and said that she tries to emulate the work ethic of her favorite player.

“While everyone else is out, I’ll be on YouTube or I’ll be watching film,” Prahalis said.

“It’s hard to win on the road.

And do we thoroughly understand that? You’d think we would at this point, but we’ll find out when we take the road again.”

Despite the Gophers’ 1-7 record, Minnesota interim coach Jeff Horton said his team is not going to back down to the 7-1 Bucks.

“What an opportunity for most of the nation, national TV, chance to step up, show what we’re all about,” Horton said.

“Nobody giving you a chance to win other than inside this room.

“One thing I’ll promise you, we’ll go out there and play hard.”

Injury report Tressel said defensive back Christian Bryant, suffering from a foot infection, will likely be out for at least six weeks following his release from the hospital, expected to be this week.

Senior captain and linebacker Ross Homan is continuing to make progress with his foot injury, but Tressel said he will not play in Minneapolis.

Adding to the lengthy list of injuries to the OSU secondary

is the loss of redshirt freshman cornerback Corey Brown, who suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter against Purdue.

Tressel said Brown will miss the remainder of the year as well as next spring.

Linebacker Dorian Bell will likely remain out for the third straight week against Minnesota after suffering a concussion against Indiana.

said. “You can just hear in his comments that he doesn’t want to hear about coaching transition or this or that. This is still the 2010 Minnesota Golden Gophers and still the same team it was at the beginning of the year who has a passion to get some good things done. Through his leadership, you can be sure that they’ll never stop, and that’s the kind of leader that you want to have.”

Golden Gopher gunslinger At No. 5 in career passing yards in Big Ten history with more than 10,000, Minnesota senior quarterback Adam Weber is not shy about throwing the ball. A four-year starter, Weber brings plenty of ability and experience to the Golden Gopher offense and could be a handful for the Silver Bullet defense.

“I think sometimes people think it was kind of ho‑hum that he threw for 10,000 yards because they said he still hasn’t won enough games,” Horton said. “Playing football long enough in the Big Ten to be one of the five guys that have done it, to me that’s pretty special. I don’t care what kind of teams you have out there, you still have to go out there and play. A lot of people on teams that have struggled haven’t done that. I think that’s a compliment to him.”

Tressel said Weber’s composure has not wavered, even with the recent firing of Minnesota coach Tim Brewster.

‘Boom’ steps up Junior running back Dan “Boom” Herron has established himself as OSU’s lead running back, carrying the bulk of the load in the last four contests.

Tressel has taken notice of his running backs’ increased production. He said it is Herron’s electricity that allows him to be successful, and his play is infectious.

“We always talk about an impact player being someone that can just do their job, but they can raise everyone else up,” Tressel said. “We don’t even know for what reason. He just has a presence. We always talk about good leaders have what we call a sense of impending greatness. If you stick with me, something great is going to happen. ‘Boom’ has that presence.

“You can be an electric guy and really someone that people want to follow, but they’ll stop following you if you don’t produce, and ‘Boom’ Herron produces.”

Special teams help for a change Used to being on the wrong end of special teams blunders this year, the Buckeyes switched roles Saturday as they were the beneficiaries of several Boilermaker special teams miscues.

OSU opened the game with great field position after Purdue kicked off out of bounds. Later, OSU recovered a fumble off a muffed punt.

“I thought Purdue helped us by kicking it out of bounds, and that just is another reminder of the impact that the special teams have, not just in the simple field position, but in the emotional flow of the game,” Tressel said.

“That gave us great field position.

Now we’re in a situation where we’re 60 yards away from points rather than maybe 80, and I think your percent chance of scoring is maybe 20 to 25 percent higher just between those two field zones.”

Tressel emphasized the importance of special teams play on the road.

“Special teams, we always say, is the key when we go on the road,” he said. “And so we’ve got to make sure that despite the fact that we’ve had to go with a lot of different lineups due to injuries in the linebacker and DB (defensive back) areas, we’ve got to get better at special teams, especially on the road. It’s a huge impact. Purdue found that.”

that could lead to something like that on a smaller scale? Yeah. So, when you get to those 16, you get to two or four conferences with 16 teams, divisions, that type of stuff, yeah, I can see that down the road.”

That setup would resemble college basketball’s tournament trials, where teams try to make their way through a conference bracket before the NCAA Tournament selection phase takes place.

In college basketball, Smith said, too much emphasis is placed on March Madness and not enough on the regular-season schedule.

That, he said, is a disparity that college presidents and athletic directors must keep away from football.

“Even when (the OSU basketball teams) go win the regular-season championship, you wake up the next morning, and our partners, the media, they cover that, that they won it,” Smith said. “But the majority of the coverage is, ‘Where are we going to be seeded in the NCAA Tournament and where are we going to go?’ And we forget that these young women and men just went through a 29-game gauntlet and we’re worried about six games because it only takes six games to win the NCAA Championship.”

The BCS system annually sparks controversy. Teams are ranked based on human voting and computer-based formulas that include the Harris Interactive Poll, Coaches Poll and various computer rankings.

One area of constant debate has centered on comparing schools in BCS conferences to successful programs in weaker leagues, teams such as Boise State and TCU. What factors must be considered when quantifying a team’s résumé? How much weight should be given to each component?

Some argue that numbers and rankings determine schools’ bowl destinations instead of results. Smith countered that this highlights the regular season as a de facto playoff system, with a team’s game each week serving as a potential elimination contest.

The OSU football program schedules one high-profile, non-conference BCS opponent each year. This year, the Buckeyes hosted Miami (Fla.).

Smith said he fears additional postseason games would minimize the spotlight on these regular-season marquee matchups.

“I’m worried about football,” Smith said, “that we’ll get so trapped and caught up in this playoff, be it in the division, in the conference or out of the conference, that we’ll forget the Miami game was a part of the playoff for us. The Ohio game was part of the playoff, and so on and so forth. I believe the regular season is a playoff.”

In an interview with Lantern editors in October 2009, Gee insisted that a playoff system will never be instituted.

“I’ll say it again — over my dead body,” Gee said. “Mark that down — we will not have a playoff in this era — period.”

Gee said implementing a playoff system will place emphasis on the money involved with bowl games, not the opportunities for the athletes.

“It’s all a slippery slope toward professionalization,” Gee told Lantern editors in April. “It’s all about money. It’s not about the student-athlete — period.”

The views expressed by Smith and Gee are shared by many university presidents and athletic directors. But as increasing support for an altered postseason format spreads across the country, Emmert said he will support the consensus of those in power.

“The whole question of the playoff in the structure of the BCS was created by the conferences and by the university presidents, they’re the ones who are shaping that,” Emmert said. “That’s not inside the NCAA’s purview, so my position on all of this is if, I’m underscoring ‘if,’ presidents and conferences want to go in the direction toward some other playoff model and we can be helpful in that, we’re happy to do it.

“We know how to run championships, we run 88 of them. We’re very good at it. If that’s a role that we can play, great. If they don’t want to go that direction, that’s fine too.”

Browns used defense, trick plays to knock off New Orleans Saints

Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham sacks Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer on Sunday.

Wednesday October 27, 2010

The Bengals should be 0-6.

Fans are already calling for 2009 NFL Coach of the Year Marvin Lewis to pack his bags. It’s possible that the team has simply stopped responding to Lewis, now in his seventh season in Cincinnati.

A step in the right direction would be to watch a Browns game or two.

At 2-5, Cleveland is actually behind the Bengals in the division. But the Browns have already beaten the Bengals this season. Their season, although not met with success in the win-loss column, is reminiscent of the 2009 Bengals season.

Last season, the Bengals played to their strengths in each game, pounding the football and relying on their misfit defense.

But they also endured the tragic deaths of defensive coordinator’s Mike Zimmer’s wife and wide receiver Chris Henry.

Through triumph and tragedy, the Bengals persevered as a team instead of a collection of individuals.

Make no mistake about it.

This year’s Browns aren’t the 2009 Bengals. One of the main reasons they’re stuck in the AFC North cellar is they’ve started three quarterbacks in seven games.

But they’ve been in every

Cleveland’s Marcus Benard, top, and Matt Roth sack Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer during a fourth-quarter drive. The Browns defeated the Bengals, 23-20, on Oct. 3. game. They play together. They enjoy the game.

Exhibit A of the Browns turning years of frowns upsidedown is Peyton Hillis. Have you seen him run the football? Not only does he rumble through defenses like a wrecking ball destroying a brick wall, but his enthusiasm is contagious.

The Browns also aren’t afraid to take chances. In the first quarter of Sunday’s victory over the defending Super Bowl

Champion New Orleans Saints, Joshua Cribbs fielded a punt, ran toward the right sideline and heaved a lateral across the field to Eric Wright for a 62-yard run. Late in the first half, punter Reggie Hodges stunned the Superdome crowd by feigning a punt and subsequently dashing down the middle of the field for 68 yards.

The point of having a profession is to enjoy what you do.

One would think that if your

profession is playing football in front of millions while getting paid, bliss would be second nature.

If the Bengals don’t start having a little more fun on the field, they’ll be watching the playoffs with the rest of us come January.

sports Buckeyes in need of win streak as regular season schedule winds down CHRiS bideRMan Lantern reporter biderman.1@osu.edu After Saturday’s demoralizing 2-1 overtime loss to Penn State, the Ohio State men’s soccer team (7-5-2, 2-2) dropped to sixth place in the Big Ten standings.

Fortunately for the Buckeyes, their three remaining games against Oakland University (Mich.), Wisconsin and No. 1 Indiana are all at home, providing ample opportunity to gain ground in the conference.

“Oakland’s not having a great season, but a win against Ohio State is a big accomplishment for them,” OSU coach John Bluem said. “That gives them the motivation.”

OSU has lost three of its last four games after starting the season unbeaten in its first four. Whether the team can regain the confidence level it had in early season performances against top-ranked Louisville and Akron remains an important question.

“Obviously, winning breeds confidence,” defender Matt Gold said. “It’s been tough to be super confident going into every game when you know you’re dropping games that you should win. But we know that all hope isn’t lost.”

Forward Konrad Warzycha said the loss to Penn State will be tough to recover from.

“We’re trying to be as positive as we can,” forward Konrad Warzycha said. “Obviously that loss was tough to swallow.”

Still, Gold said the score wasn’t indicative of the way the team played.

“I think it was still a positive,” Gold said. “We saw some development in (the way) we played our opportunities. I think the goals went against the flow of the game.”

The Buckeyes have not netted more than one goal in a game since Oct. 3 against Michigan State. Bluem said the team needs more production from its forwards in the coming games if it wants to get back into winning form.

“I’m very confident that we can put together some good results here at home, keep ourselves very much alive for the NCAA Tournament,” Bluem said. “Now we’re in a situation where we’re hoping Indiana drops some points along the way for us to have a chance at the Big Ten championship.”

Although there is a lot at stake for the Buckeyes during the remainder of their schedule, Bluem said the team isn’t putting any added pressure on itself.

“The pressure comes from trying to play well,” Bluem said. “We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard.”

Rondo from 6A

OSU coach Jim Foster says Prahalis is the most creative player he has coached Having already made a name for herself in women’s hoops, thanks to her crafty moves and flashy passes, Prahalis said to look for Rondo’s signature ball fakes and scooping lay-ups to be the latest additions to her already unique repertoire.

“That’s definitely something I’ve tried to look at, like his fakes, how he gets to the basket, his finishes are all really good,” Prahalis said. “I think the women’s game hasn’t really seen men’s moves come into play.” jiM FOSTeR Prahalis enters her junior season just 151 assists shy of breaking Jamie Lewis’ OSU career record of 643. In her sophomore season, she averaged 16.3 points and 8 assists per game.

OSU coach Jim Foster said he isn’t ready to call Prahalis the most exciting player he’s coached, but offered his own superlative for the point guard.

“She’s in a small group. I’ve coached some pretty good basketball players that are exciting in their own way,” Foster said. “She’s the most creative.”

A first-team all-Big Ten selection last season, Prahalis was selected on the 2010-11 Preseason Wooden Award Watch List, along with teammate Jantel Lavender. The Wooden Award is given to the most outstanding player in men and women’s college basketball each year and is considered the most prestigious individual honor in the sport.

Prahalis said she’s not fazed by the preseason hype.

“We still have a season to play,” Prahalis said. “A list is a list, until you actually do something. I’m just trying to stay focused and have a great year.”

As a player who was on the receiving end of many of Prahalis’ 289 assists last season, Lavender knows how valuable Prahalis is to the team.

“She makes great passes and she can see the floor really well,” Lavender said. “I get open baskets, and we get points.”

Foster said he doesn’t think fans realize Prahalis’ full set of skills — including some she honed playing football until she was 12 years old.

“She’s got a great skill set. She’s very competitive,” Foster said.

“She’s got a good motor. I don’t think people understand how athletic she is.”

Prahalis said anything less than a national championship would be a disappointment for her this year, but that team goals aside, she wants to continue to use her skill set to make her imprint on the women’s game.

“I’m just trying to be someone who can bring some excitement to the game,” Prahalis said. “That’s a big thing for me.”

Wonderland vying for grant from Pepsi

The Lantern gives its opinion on this week’s Cd releases

Taylor Swift, Diamond Rings and KC Accidental go under the gun this week.

Big changes have taken place at the Wonderland arts complex, and even more will be in the works if an upcoming grant comes through.

On Sept. 30, the art space in the former Wonder Bread Factory became eligible for the Pepsi Refresh Grant, which seeks to make improvements in communities by awarding money for projects with a positive impact. Grant recipients are chosen by the public through votes on refresheverything.com and through text messages.

“Realizing that our mission was in line with what Pepsi was looking to promote, I wrote the grant” proposal, said Adam Brouillette, executive director of the Wonderland project.

Wonderland ranks 35th out of the 100 nominees as of Tuesday. It is competing for the $250,000 grant against projects such as animal rescue groups, community theaters and a wooden roller coaster in Michigan.

If it receives the grant, Wonderland officials plan to use the money to finish construction on separate arts spaces within the complex, keep costs low for artists using the space, create marketing and promotional materials and promote the profile of the Columbus arts community.

Brouillette said the team behind Wonderland has been busy finding ways to get the public involved.

Local artists were invited to design T-shirts, with the proceeds going to Wonderland.

“We’re working to defeat the idea that artists can’t be professional and responsible for their share of economic development, and that business people can be creative and understand (that) partnerships

with creative people are useful to innovation and development,” Brouillette said.

In September, Brouillette was named executive director in a unanimous vote from the board of directors.

Besides managing Junctionview Studios in Grandview and serving as executive director of Wonderland, Brouillette is a founding member of Couchfire Collective and works with the Ohio Art League, where he serves as secretary. Brouillette said he looks forward to the experience at Wonderland.

“Being named executive director is an opportunity to lead some amazing talent to a greater end result,” Brouillette said.

After 20 years off the air, Cassandra Peterson is bringing her cult-favorite character Elvira back to television airwaves.

“Elvira’s Movie Macabre,” the reincarnation of the 1980s horror film spoof show, is back for a 26-episode season.

The first incarnation of “Elvira’s Movie Macabre” aired from 1981 to 1990. It featured horror films with occasional interjections from its host. Peterson has since worked to bring the show back but has been unsuccessful until now.

“I decided to come back to TV 20 years ago, but nobody wanted to do the show,” Peterson said in a roundtable interview.

Though the show is now airing films that are public domain, getting them to air was not without cost. The films themselves have to be fully intact, and getting them to a quality level sufficient for broadcast required re-mastering, which is not cheap.

Now, “Elvira’s Movie Macabre” is back for a new generation of viewers.

“I think it’s gonna be still pretty damn funny and hip and crazy,” she said. “It’s pretty off-the-wall. Many people liken my show to a car wreck.”

The show, similar in style to “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” was actually the predecessor to the cult-favorite sci-fi spoof program.

OK Go prepares to get the Newport going JameS GarCia Lantern reporter garcia.299@osu.edu Widely known for low-budget viral music videos, the band OK Go plans to rock out for costume-wearing fans when it performs at the Newport Music Hall on Halloween.

“I’m hoping people will dress up for the show,” said Tim Nordwind, OK Go’s bassist, in a phone interview with The Lantern.

Nordwind said he is excited to see fans in costume, but wasn’t sure about the band’s position on dressing up for the Halloween night show.

“Our stage show has a lot of theatrical elements to it already. So whether or not we take it to yet another level for Halloween, I’m not quite sure,” Nordwind said. “Either way, there will be a big spectacle on stage.”

OK Go has decided on a more synchronized and colorful wardrobe for being on stage, one of many changes the band has done in recent years.

Nordwind discussed how New York producer Dave Fridmann, who has worked with bands such as The Flaming Lips and MGMT, and a new song-writing process shaped the sound of their latest release, “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.” On previous records, there were guitars, bass and drums, which got boring, Nordwind said. The band branched out with its new album using a broader range of instruments, and, with the help of Fridmann, created a more “three-dimensional psychedelic sonic universe.”

arts&life lantern Cd reviews Swift sadder than sweet rYan BOOK Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Taylor Swift has taken a turn toward popular music on her new album “Speak Now.” This doesn’t come as a surprise after her last album, “Fearless,” was the best-selling album of 2009.

What might come as a surprise is Swift’s approach to popular music.

Swift was never exactly a country artist to begin with.

Her association with Nashville and her affinity for the acoustic guitar led her to fall in with the country scene, but tracks such as her 2008 hit “Love Song” revealed someone on a different wavelength from the twang of Tim McGraw.

On the new album, Swift all but ditches the country demeanor. “The Story of Us” ditches the guitar altogether to make room for a dance beat.

“Haunted” brings in orchestral strings to accompany Swift. In fact, only “Sparks Fly” sounds remotely like a country song.

The most noticeable feature of the album is not the music, however. The album is overwhelmingly sad. The tears continuously leak from the poorly stitched seams of Swift’s broken heart.

“The Story of Us” has a happy beat but not a happy ending. The strings added to

Diamond creates a gem

“Speak now” taylor Swift

rYan BOOK Arts editor book.15@osu.edu

“Haunted” are there to increase the mournful feeling behind the song. “Better than Revenge” is a fun song, but it’s about getting vengeance on the girl that stole her man. The title track is one of the few instances of happiness on the album. But Swift has to interrupt the wedding of the man she wants to get said happiness.

In track eight, “Never Grow Up,” the listener can sympathize with Swift’s longing to return to her childhood. But by track 13, “Last Kiss,” Swift’s approach has gotten so slow and sad that it mirrors the film “A Walk to Remember.” It’s sad but so overdone that it inspires eye-rolls.

The sadness isn’t all that bad.

“Dear John” spins a great ballad out of the emotion. The songwriting is good on the whole, but Swift needs to get out and enjoy herself before her pop albums can be considered great.

Toronto pop artist Diamond Rings (John O’Regan) picked up part of his act from the school of Gaga, but only the aesthetic portion.

The artist prepares listeners to hit the dance floor with his gaudy makeup and outfits, but when the music starts on his debut album, “Special Affections,” he corrects their presumptions immediately.

The opening track on the album, “Play by Heart,” is a slow song that follows a lingering synthesizer melody.

O’Regan’s voice also defies the image he presents (or at least defies the stereotypes I applied when I saw his makeup). He sings in a deep baritone that suits his pace.

“Play by Heart” sounds much like Phil Collins during the years of “In the Air Tonight.”

The rest of the album is more upbeat when it comes to musical approach, but at no point does O’Regan go for a full-on dance-pop approach.

The artist uses instruments that one might associate with dancing, such as computerproduced percussion and handclap beats, but he uses them in a way that does not

“Special affections” diamond rings

distract from his intelligent and emotionally honest lyrics.

The tracks might not inspire dancing, but they aren’t downers either. “On Our Own” and “You & Me” feature piano lines that are subtle yet fun.

The album starts off slow but builds its tempo modestly, climaxing with one of the album’s best tunes, “All Yr Songs.”

“All Yr Songs” answers any questions that the listener might have had after the first nine tracks about the overall emotion of the album.

O’Regan’s tone wavers temporarily into the realms of sadness and happiness during the album but allows the latter to pour out in the final track, allowing listeners to finally break into the dance that they had been holding in all along.

KC great for meditating JameS GarCia Lantern reporter garcia.299@osu.edu K.C. Accidental’s “Captured Anthems for an Empty Bathtub & Anthems for the Could’ve Bin Pills” paints beauty in the mind’s eye with lo-fi instrumental ramblings that sound like a relaxing psychedelic journey through space.

Originally formed in 1998, K.C. Accidental is a Canadian post-rock band. It includes Broken Social Scene’s founder, vocalist and guitarist Kevin Drew, and Charles Spearin, who has also contributed to Broken Social Scene.

The full-length, two-disc album was released yesterday

by Broken Social Scene’s record label, Arts & Crafts, and consists of the original recordings by K.C. Accidental, available for the first time outside of a handful of independent record stores in Canada.

“Anorexic He-man” stands out as one of the faster-paced songs on the album. Spazzy and somewhat disturbing, it makes for an adventurous experience, keeping listeners on their toes and unaware of where the sound will take them next.

The album also features other well-known Canadian indies, such as Emily Haines and James Shaw, from Metric, and James

“Captured anthems for an empty Bathtub” K.C. accidental

Payment and Justin Small, from Do Make Say Think.

The intricate musical orchestration of K.C. Accidental is an amusing contradiction to the duo’s name. The tracks are soothing, melodic and full of energy at the same time. Utilizing classic-stringed instruments and electronic spacey effects, listening to the album feels like being caught in a chasm between classical and modern music.

“Them (Pop Song #3333)” contains the majority of the album’s sparse vocals with the lovely combination of Haines’ and Drew’s voices, backed by slow-string instruments and fast upbeat drums.

K.C. Accidental definitely isn’t for everyone, but for those who have acquired a taste for tranceinducing music and hypnotic sound landscapes, this album might provide motivation to start meditating more often.

Book Club suggests‌ “Lifeâ€?

by Keith Richards

Many who live the rock-star lifestyle never disclose the events that happen after they leave the stage. But Keith Richards, songwriter and guitarist for The Rolling Stones, is doing just that.

In his new autobiography, Richards writes about everything from his relationship with Mick Jagger, the band’s lead vocalist, to

the inspiration behind hit songs. Richards even discusses the drug busts that gave him his bad-boy image — something he expresses remorse for.

The 576-page book gives readers a view into a lifestyle they can only imagine and probably will never truly understand. “Life� releases today.

Swift can write songs but can’t sing them Taylor Swift just can’t sing.

Or at least that seems to be the case whenever she performs live. Swift’s off-key duet with Stevie Nicks at this year’s Grammys is an example, as is almost every recorded concert series I catch her on.

Out of the recording studio, Swift’s voice quality takes a noticeable nose-dive. But before you Swift fans start sending me hate mail, know that I still hold the curly blonde on a country music pedestal.

Considering Swift is a multimillion-dollar singer, she should be pretty close to flawless when she performs live. But she isn’t — and she doesn’t have to be.

Swift is a country music phenomenon. Little girls drag their mothers to concerts in flocks, and grown men can be seen waving “I Love Taylor� posters in the front row seats

ARTS Columnist

danielle hartman Assistant arts editor hartman.271@osu.edu

Danielle Hartman hartman.271@osu.edu they paid a whole week’s pay check for. The truth is, Swift has that special touch. The unexplainable something that makes her different from the powerful singer that gets stuck singing on the cruise ship or at dive bars don’t have.

It might sound cruel, but you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s like Simon Cowell’s beloved “X-factor� he talks so much about — either you have it or you don’t. Plain and simple.

MY PARTY PLATTERS MAKE CATERING SO EASY, YOU’LL WANT TO CALL THEM

SMARTY

But that isn’t the only thing that keeps Swift at the top of country’s bestselling chart week after week. She got there on more than just charisma.

Swift works harder than any other when it comes to her fans.

At the CMA Music Festival in Nashville in June, Swift stood at a booth for more than 14 hours to sign autographs and take pictures with anyone who would wait in line. Most artists who have reached Swift’s level of success stay at the event, called Fan Fair, for about an hour or two — if they even accept the invitation to come at all.

Swift also took fans into consideration when announcing the release date of her newest album, “Speak Now.� On July 20, Swift sat in front of a webcam to talk about her music and take questions from webcast viewers, who at one point numbered almost 60,000 — a much more thoughtful and effective approach than a press announcement.

The reasons to love Swift extend beyond that unexplainable quality she possesses and the respect she pays to her fans — the 20-year-old can write.

Probably because it was played every 15 seconds on country radio after it came out, I can’t stand to listen to Swift’s “Tim McGraw� anymore. But when I heard it for the first time, I knew the artist would stick around. There’s no denying it was cleverly written. And that’s a theme Swift has been able to stick to.

The Broadway Music Incorporated Awards is an annual award show that recognizes songwriting. Swift won her first award in 2007 for “Tim McGraw,� two awards in 2008 and five awards

Taylor Swift might not have a perfect voice, but she does have a performer’s touch. in 2009 for songs off of her first two albums.

The BMI isn’t alone in honoring Swift’s songwriting skills — the Nashville Songwriters Association International named her Songwriter of the Year in both 2007 and 2009.

You might want to grab some earplugs when Swift is about to take the stage at a live event. But keep those earplugs handy because she isn’t going anywhere. Those screaming teenage girls and songwriting enthusiasts won’t let her.

drops big label and starts its own Despite OK Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to improve its sound, some do not find the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music appealing. Josh Kleinberg, an English student at OSU, finds OK Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs unremarkable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their videos are sort of innovative, but the music just seems bland to me,â&#x20AC;?

Kleinberg said.

Along with changes to songwriting on its latest release, OK Go has also dropped its major label, Capitol Records, opting to operate under its own label, Paracadute. Nordwind said there were issues with Capitol focusing on record sales, essentially ignoring other artistic endeavors of the band, such as the fan-praised viral music videos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one sells CDs, no one buys CDs anymore. â&#x20AC;Ś All the record company wants to do is sell CDs. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see a lot of bands jump ship and try to go at it on their own because bands â&#x20AC;Ś are becoming more self-sufficient,â&#x20AC;? Nordwind said.

The band has spent a lot of time playing in Columbus.

The first time OK Go played at the Newport, it performed with They Might Be Giants.

Nordwind had one last thing to say to OSU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Michigan, I am still excited to be in Columbus, playing on Halloween,â&#x20AC;? Nordwind said.
