With about 10 percent of Ohio State’s undergraduate population involved in Greek Life, OSU Interim President Joseph Alutto said he’s less concerned about growth than about ensuring students always have a choice about the matter. “This is a matter of choice and as long as we make sure it is always a matter of choice, I think (sororities and fraternities) add a great deal to the experience of individual students as long as students have the ability to choose that that’s what they want and that is the experience that they think is valuable for their time at a university,” Alutto said in an interview with The Lantern Sept. 23. Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp, a member of the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said students need to have the opportunity to shape their own college experiences. “Providing a plethora of options for students is key in providing students the individualized experiences that Ohio State offers,” Stepp said in an email. Other students who are part of the Greek community said having that choice is important because it’s key students who join sororities and fraternities value the commitment. “If a student decides on his or her own that Greek Life is what they want, then they will work harder to become a better brother (or) sister in the fraternity or sorority,” said Alec Singerman, a third-year in agribusiness and a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. According to the U.S. News and World Report, 10 percent of undergraduate students at OSU are members of sororities and fraternities.

Some of that remaining portion of OSU students said they don’t see a particular value in joining Greek Life. “It’s good for finding connections for later in life for work opportunities, but that’s it,” said Henrieta White, a third-year in health sciences. “I don’t want my peers to set rules or standards for me.” Others said they’re too busy to add an additional commitment. “I don’t have enough time to be in a sorority,” said Cassie Kahr, a second-year in music education and voice performance. “I wouldn’t have time for the social events that the girls have to go to, and I would feel out of place because I wouldn’t be able to be as dedicated as someone with less classes than me.” Kahr said she’s part of organizations more specifically related to her interests. “In the music school, we all hang out and we all learn so much from each other about our futures,” Kahr said. “I think that connection within someone’s studies (is) a better idea.” Alutto said expanding the Greek community as

OSU’s second-year on-campus living requirement goes into place in 2016 could provide more opportunities for students to connect with their peers. “Their (fraternities and sororities’) ability to work with us on the first two years I think is going to be very important to us and to them as time goes on because the members of those Greek societies are going to have to meet the same requirements as any other freshmen or sophomores,” Alutto said. “That will do a number of things in terms of making sure that they stay integrated with the university even while they pursue their own interests later on.” At the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, a requirement for OSU students to live on campus for two years is set to go into effect. For those second-years who want to move off-campus after the requirement goes into effect, Greek housing will be one of the few approved options available.

Ann Faris First-year in exploration said, “but then he realized that he had approached me before, and he tried to go in for a hug like he knew me, like he was my friend.” Mendoza said Larson attempted to block her path and hold her hand but she pushed passed him. Ann Faris, a first-year in exploration, said she had a similar experience. She said Larson approached her on the Oval before classes started this semester. Faris said Larson asked if she was from Los Angeles, adding that he had just transferred from University of California-Los Angeles. He said he needed directions to a nearby off-campus restaurant. “I figured people were still just trying to meet up with someone, because it (was) the first week of school,” Faris said. “I could tell he was weird, but I thought he was just trying to be friends.” The two exchanged numbers and planned to meet up later on. Faris said she planned to go with her friends the first time, but decided at the last minute to blow off the meeting. Later, though, she said she felt bad and decided to set up another meeting. That time, Faris went alone to meet Larson. The two went to his apartment on High Street before things became increasingly uncomfortable, Faris said. “He was really touchy-feely, always grabbing my hands and hugging me and stuff,” Faris said. Larson then told her he was a law student at OSU at the time, Faris said.

Faris said she started questioning Larson’s motives before she got uncomfortable and left. Larson said while he was a first-year at OSU three or four years ago, he is no longer enrolled. The reactions of the women he chooses to approach depend on who they’re with, Larson said. “They’re two-faced. When I’m actually meeting them, they’re all friendly and bubbly and give me their number,” he said. “Behind my back, when they go home, they’re talking s---.” He also runs a blog which seeks to help men learn how to win women over. In some cases, Larson said his posts are meant to “evoke rage,” including a post about how to pick up sorority women. University Police are aware of the allegations, but there are no reports of related crimes on campus so far, University Police Chief Paul Denton said in an email. “We are remaining alert given the nature of the conduct,” Denton said. “We would advise students if you see something suspicious, say something.” Mendoza said she has stepped in multiple times when she sees other girls talking to Larson. “I’ve tried to step in and pretend to be a girl’s friend, made up a name and pulled her to the side so she could get away from him,” Mendoza said. Larson said he is no longer allowed on campus per university warning, though there have been no official charges against him. “But I live near campus, so I can walk on High Street,” he said. Denton said in an email University Police could not confirm or deny that Larson was told he was not allowed on campus. Denton reiterated police were “aware of the concerns that have been raised and would emphasize if (students) see something suspicious, say something.”

OSU center helps increase graduation rate of African-American men

TH F SA SU

Some female Ohio State students have recently expressed concerns about a local man who they say is harassing area women. While the man claimed he has been banned from OSU’s campus, Ohio State University Police representatives have simply said they are aware of the situation. Reports surfaced on social news-sharing site Reddit of a man in the OSU area approaching women in an unwelcome way. The 22-year-old man goes by the pseudonym “Sean Larson.” He said he uses the pseudonym to protect him from physical harm and stalking. “Campus is very tribal, so it’s like a tribal psychology place,” Larson said in an interview with The Lantern Oct. 26. “If you get found out for doing that kind of stuff (sleeping with many women), you can get extradited from the whole thing.” Victoria Mendoza, a fourth-year in women’s studies and sexuality studies, said Larson approached her twice in the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library. The first time he came up to her, which was during November 2012, she said he grabbed her hand and told her she had pretty hair. He claimed to need directions to the 18th Avenue Library and would not let go of her hand when she tried to walk away, despite her assertion that she had a boyfriend, she said. “This was in the big forum area of Thompson where people can obviously see what’s going on, and nobody stepped in,” Mendoza said. Five or six months later, Mendoza said Larson approached her again. “I don’t think he recognized me at first,” Mendoza

JUSTIN CLINE Lantern reporter cline.322@osu.edu Graduation and retention rates of African-American male students have increased significantly since the time when an Ohio State center was started with the goal of helping the students succeed. OSU’s Todd A. Bell National Resource Center on the AfricanAmerican Male was opened in 2005 to help improve the retention and graduation rates of African-American male students. The center provides special services including workshops, lectures and mentorships to help develop and maintain a higher success rate in African-American men within the college community, said James Moore III, director of the Bell National Resource Center. Within the past several years, African-American male students have increasingly excelled, but this hasn’t always been the case, Moore said. “Many years ago, the retention and graduation rates for African-American males were dismal,” Moore said. The resource center was founded to enhance the success of these

students, said Dolan Evanovich, vice president of strategic enrollment planning. Since 2005, the retention rate in African-American men who participated in the early arrival program has steadily increased. Now it rests at about 97 percent for freshman-tosophomore retention, Moore said, one of the highest rates across the university. Moore said in an email about one-third of the OSU African-American male student enrollment is part of the early arrival program. OSU’s average freshman-tosophomore retention rate from Fall 2008 to Fall 2011 was 93 percent, according to U.S. News and World Report. Currently, about 84 percent of all OSU students graduate in six years or less, Evanovich said. “We want to become among the best public universities from a retention standpoint and graduation standpoint,” Evanovich said, “We’ve already exceeded our goal. I think our next plan, we probably want to get that (graduation rate) up to around 89 or 90 percent.” Sophomore-to-junior retention rates have decreased to roughly 85

percent over the last few years among African-American male students, though, while graduation rates have increased to 67 percent in the time since the center was founded, Moore said on the phone. Services including leadership institutes, early arrival programs, career advisement and academic support were designed to help the students, Moore said. Additionally, the center helps offer support and encouragement to African-American men for reaching their educational and career aspirations, he said. The early arrival program aims to help incoming undergraduate AfricanAmerican men make the transition into OSU by building solidarity among students and providing mentors and leadership, Moore said. Third-year in sociology Amari Ingram serves as the president of Band of Brothers, a student extension of the Bell National Resource Center. Ingram said the center helps provide support through scholarships, networking and mentorships. “I pretty much found my mentor there,” Ingram said. “He’s been my avenue for a lot of connections as far

Adam Pervez, a 2004 graduate of Ohio State, has quite a lot to say about happiness. Having traveled to more than 73 countries during the last few years to volunteer and experience the world, Pervez hopes to continue pursuing his passion for volunteering upon returning to the U.S. in early 2014 with a long-term plan of starting a nonprofit organization that will attempt to make happiness a key component of any workplace. An electrical and computer engineering major, Pervez said he had an eye-opening experience during his senior year of college when he went to Egypt as part of a study abroad program. “It really opened my eyes.

These fundamental things.” After a few months, Pervez left his job to instead pursue six passions: traveling, writing, helping other people, teaching, learning and telling stories. He began what has since grown into an 800-day long trip, traveling to more than 73 countries while spending only about $800 for his travels by using services such as Couchsurfing, a website that connects travellers with locals to find places to stay and activities to participate in. Pervez said he could not be happier with his life. “It’s been a pretty crazy ride,” he said. Some OSU students said they couldn’t do what Pervez did. “It takes a lot of gut(s) to do something like that,” said CJ Ha, a second-year in biomedical engineering. “I would rather tough it out in a job with a high salary to be more stable for a family later on.”

Upon returning to Columbus, Pervez found his first career with a recruiting oil company — Schlumberger Limited — as a field engineer. Though he said he disliked his work, the money and travel opportunities made up for his unhappiness for a period of time. Pervez later decided to pursue an MBA at the IE Business School in Madrid, and went on to work at Siemens Wind Power in Denmark as a business development specialist. “Denmark is always rated as the happiest country, so I figured if I could be happy somewhere I’d definitely be happy in Denmark, but of course that’s not how it works,” Pervez said. “When I realized I wasn’t happy there, I finally started asking myself the questions I had been putting off my whole life: What would make me happy?

continuations chapter president, said there’s a lot that needs to be done before Greek Life can be expanded though. “The expansion of Greek Life can be positive, but placing a larger focus on Greek Life is … more strategic for the overall success of our community. Having (more than 60 sorority and fraternity chapters at OSU) means that our Greek Life staff is spread thin at times,” Deptola said in an email. “The staff we do have does a fantastic job, but in order to grow the community, we need to make sure that our chapters and colonies are receiving the help they need to succeed. Adding resources to handle potential expansion is a key consideration that needs to be made.” Stepp said making the Greek community larger is in the best interest of OSU, adding this is something USG is working on accomplishing by providing more funding. “Since I have been in office, USG has distributed the highest amount of partnership funding towards Greek Life ever,” he said. “These funds have (gone) to philanthropies such as the Delt Deep Fry, AEPi’s World’s Longest BBQ and many more.” Delta Tau Delta fraternity’s “Delt Deep Fry” and Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity’s “AEPi’s World’s Longest BBQ” event are both held to raise money for cancer research. Abby Ryan, a fourth-year in hospitality management and a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity for women, said her years in the Greek community have been a much-needed experience.

He said the center has helped black male students succeed. “The Bell Resource Center is doing really tremendous work in retaining African-American male students and boosting graduation rates,” Smiley said. Ingram said he is excited about the increase of graduation and retention rates in African-American men. “A lot of people have this notion that we don’t graduate and that we are unable to educate ourselves as African-American males,” Ingram said. He added that having statistics to prove otherwise is “heartwarming and definitely inspiring.” Increased retention rates aren’t the only statistic affected with these programs. More students have

Wanderlust from 2A But Pervez viewed his stage in life as an advantage in the decision he made. “I figured if I don’t do it now, as a 28-year-old, then when would I ever do it? I won’t do it as a 47-yearold dad who has a 10-year-old kid at home,” he said. “When you figure out what you need to be doing in your life, it doesn’t require as much courage as you would think.” Josh Harris, a first-year in biomedical engineering, said he envies Pervez’s choices. “If he’s happy with his life, good for him. If I could drop everything and travel the world I would,” Harris said. Although Pervez said he’s had a variety of positive experiences during his travels, including meditating with snakes in a temple in Thailand and helping to teach Latin American children English, he said he’s also been challenged — he has been the victim of three robberies and got severely sick in the midst of traveling once. “I was in the bathroom all night, puking and everything,” he said. “But even then I was grateful. I was grateful I was on an overnight train with a bathroom, rather than a bus. I was grateful it would be over soon, and I was grateful this was as bad as it would get.” His plan for his return to the U.S. is to start a business to teach managers how to include happiness

“Greek Life is a huge part of our campus, even if it only is a little over 10 percent, and they reach out to every part of the student experience at Ohio State from the classroom to student employees and student orgs. To have an opportunity to join an organization that can show you so many opportunities to get involved on campus is a great thing, especially for newer students in their first two years,” Ryan said. When it comes to personal connections, Ryan said joining a sorority was one of the best decisions she’s ever made. “Since being in Greek Life I’ve gained a lot. I’ve made friends with people who I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise, I joined new groups that I love but wouldn’t have had the courage to join on my own … and it’s definitely given me way more confidence,” she said. “No matter how involved you choose to be, you have a connection with those people in your chapter that you all don’t share with anyone else, so you know you’ll support each other through anything.” Alutto said along with gaining personal connections, Greek Life can help “ensure the quality of the educational experience that … students receive.” Ryan said she feels her education has been enhanced by participation in a sorority. “I’ve learned so much about literacy, which is Pi Phi’s philanthropy, which has a huge correlation with education not only in our own lives, but with education across the country,” Ryan said. “I’ve definitely learned way more about so many different things than I would’ve in just the classroom.”

been earning higher GPAs, Moore said. There has been a steady climb in these numbers since 2006. Moore said he believes some of the programs put in place help the students excel. “Some students have the academic skills but don’t have the will. Some have the will but don’t have the skill,” Moore said, “We spend a lot of time supporting, encouraging and helping young men develop good work behavior and habits which are really critical.” Tai Cornute, program coordinator at the Bell National Resource Center, said internal and external respect and presence help students achieve. “We have a dedicated staff to the vision of the center, and it is easy for students to buy into an authentic and proven environment,” Cornute said. Moore said one of the center’s goals is to develop programmatic efforts to be replicated for other universities, Moore said. “We like to think we’re more than just a support center. We’re a center that’s comprehensive,” Moore said, “We produce high quality research and scholarships for African-American males. They shape and inform theory and practice policy.”

in the workplace. He said he’s going to start the process by conducting surveys to measure the level of happiness in various companies, finding what is and isn’t working. “The biggest thing people in our generation want it stability,” he said. “The 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. working model might not be working for them. People have needs and are working 50 to 60 hours per week — companies need to be more flexible.” Pervez said he wants to start his business in Cleveland and branch out to universities as well. Emilia Zywot, a second-year in chemistry and biochemistry, said she’d be interested in learning about Pervez’s business once it gets up and running. “It’s important for a better atmosphere to be established in the workplace,” Zywot said. “As a student, it would be nice to hear his perspective on pursuing our dreams in the future.” Pervez said the most important things in life are being thankful and being happy. “When you travel the way I do, where you try to meet people and understand their life and perspective, then you can’t help but change your own perspective on life,” Pervez said. “That’s where I’ve found a lot of gratitude. It doesn’t matter what your situation is — you can always find gratitude in these kinds of things in life.”

Blue Man Group to bring ‘youthful energy’ to Columbus T.J. McGarry Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu Columbus might be the land of scarlet and gray, but blue will be the color of choice in some facet this weekend. Famous for its long-running stage shows in cities like Las Vegas and Orlando, the Blue Man Group is scheduled to perform at the Ohio Theatre Friday through Sunday. Blue Man Group shows are theatrical experiences featuring men in blue body paint and black outfits performing music along with a light show, comedy and even some pop-culture references. “It’s a combination of technology, and art, and experience and music,” said Brian Tavener, one of the “Blue Men” of the Blue Man Group. “It’s everything of our human culture.” Tavener, a North Carolina-native and North Carolina State graduate, has been with the Blue Man Group for more than six years, working mainly in the group’s Boston show. However, he was with the tour when the group performed in Columbus at the Palace Theatre in February 2012. While Tavener was tight-lipped about specifics of the upcoming performance, he did say the show would be a combination of many different forms of entertainment. “The audience can definitely expect something they’ve never seen before,” Tavener said.

While each show involves the same elements, Tavener said each performance is different from the last. “The show is a new show every time,” Tavener said. “Every night something happens that will never happen again.” Tavener said his favorite part about performing with the Blue Man Group is the interactions with the audience. “The show is about the audience … My favorite part is interacting with so many different people,” Tavener said. “I get to see people find their inner child.” Tavener said capturing that childlike energy is very important to the Blue Man Group. “Everybody has this youthful nature,” Tavener said. “We bring that energy to the stage … I’m a firm believer in vibes and things catching on — we capture that positive energy and bring it to the audience.” Some Ohio State students expressed excitement at the prospect of going to a Blue Man Group show. “It seems like an interesting concept,” said Michael Cox, a fourth-year in psychology. “I would definitely consider going to see a show.” The Blue Man Group is set to perform five times in Columbus this weekend. Tickets are still available for all five shows through Ticketmaster, with prices ranging from $38.95 to $92.80 with fees. The Ohio Theatre is located at 39 E. State St.

Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage provide fast-paced thrill ride to metalheads Jake niles For The Lantern niles.19@osu.edu My throat is sore from yelling, my limbs are sore from fending off crazed lunatics in mosh pits, my feet are sore from jumping up and down, my ears are ringing from the blaring speakers, my head throbs from the countless crowd surfers that landed on it and my neck, oh, my poor neck, is so sore from head banging. But do I regret it? Not one bit. Metalcore group Lamb of God nearly blew the ceiling off the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Monday night, accompanied by other metal bands Killswitch Engage, Testament and Huntress. If you weren’t wearing black or didn’t have some sort of facial hair or piercing, you probably didn’t fit in amongst the huge crowd of metalheads, many sporting beards that would make even Gandalf the Grey jealous. Hailing from Richmond, Va., Lamb of God has been causing mayhem since it was formed. Vocalist Randy Blythe joked with the audience in between songs about the group’s old age, claiming it is “unbelievable our old a---s are still on stage.” The band played for more than an hour on an eerily lit stage involving two screens and a raised drum platform. Each song was accompanied with some sort of visual on these screens, and oftentimes, it was creepy and demented to fit the band’s theme. With a name like Lamb of God, the band’s genre is predictable, but in fact, every song almost has a double meaning. They often quoted the Bible throughout the show, but spun into an anti-religious angle. When songs like “Walk With Me In Hell” and “Ruin” were played, the screens would flash some sort of building destruction or bombs going off to accompany Blythe’s roaring screaming. “Now You’ve Got Something To Die For” called for a strong audience reaction: it expressed an opposition to the war in Iraq. As the crowd joined Blythe in chanting the chorus in their own metal screams, pictures of military personnel killed in action overseas were shown in a slideshow across the screens. Guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler had their own solo cameras set up by their hands, and oftentimes during a solo, the screens would flip to their point of view, focusing on their flailing fingers and

John Campbell rocked with his beard on bass, and drummer Chris Adler, Willie Adler’s older brother, played so hard he broke a snare drum halfway through the set. Blythe picked the crowd for jokes as they waited to a comical “technical difficulties” screen, laughing at the crowd’s reactions.

If you were remotely close to the band while they were playing, you were most likely fending for your life as I was. From the first note played, the audience exploded. People wind-milled their long hair, head banged maniacally, launched themselves on top of their neighbor to crowd surf closer and threw full cups of beer across the stage (one of which happened to land right on my foot). It was a kind of a chaos only Lamb of God could spring about, and Blythe and company smiled as their fans went nuts. Massachusetts-natives Killswitch Engage performed before Lamb of God for about an hour, screaming and growling their fans into a frenzy. Contrary to Lamb of God, Killswitch’s lyrics focus on positivity through unity and love, which they deliver in a different way. Like most modern metal bands, they often switch back and forth between singing and screaming, and through the recently returned vocalist Jesse Leach, who left the band after his marriage in 2002,t his was achieved very well. The crowd went nuts for famous songs like “My Curse” and “The End of Heartache,” which they sung along to passionately. Guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz entertained the audience with his comedic and vibrant style of play. Dutkiewicz is known for his interesting stage attire, wearing everything from tutus to superhero capes at different concerts. This time, he came out resembling an immature personal trainer, with gym shorts (which were a tad short in length), a tank top and a tie-dye bandana with his bleached blonde hair spiked straight up. He kissed his muscles after solos, sprinted around stage running laps, did jumping jacks with Leach, and shook his rear end at the crowd in a melodic fashion … perhaps his weird way of working out his glutes. He always provided a smile in some way, whether growling comedic lines into the microphone in between songs (which were all too mature for this article), or dancing around stage with his antics. California bands Testament and Huntress also provided great shows. Stating its first show in Columbus was in 1987, vocalist of Testament Chuck Billy said he has respect for the city and its many returning fans. Testament had a unique stage set with demon-like gargoyle statues that blew air at the fans at points. Huntress singer Jill Janus later provided a unique female take on the metal world, with shrill lyrics and personality. Overall, the night was a fast-paced thrill ride across several hours of non-stop metal. Heads bobbed up and down and devil horns erupted into the air as musical ecstasy poured over the screaming fans.

Commentary

Rekindle love of childhood classics ‘Hocus Pocus,’ ‘Beetlejuice’ this Halloween Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu About this time of year, spooky decorations are hung, pumpkins are carved and DVRs are set to record the classic Halloween movies that both entertain and scare us silly. While many go for Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers in their original movies and butchered sequels, I like to keep it safe and watch the Halloween movies from my childhood. Here are some of my favorites: ‘Beetlejuice’ (1988) After Adam and Barbara Maitland, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis respectively, realize they are dead and must haunt their house for 125 years. They hire the ghostly con artist Betelgeuse, played by Michael Keaton, to scare away the Deetzes, the new family dwelling in the house. The trio of spirits can only be seen by Lydia Deetz, played by a young Winona Ryder. After failed attempts to do scare away the family, the Maitlands become disgusted with Betelgeuse’s crude behavior. The Maitlands and the Deetzes agree to live in harmony after the Deetzes try to make their house a tourist attraction. Launching Tim Burton’s directing career, this film has all the grotesque humor we grew up loving in the ‘90s. ‘The Addams Family’ (1991) Based off of the cartoon characters, created by Charles Addams, of the same name in the 1960s, the film centers around the satirical American family. The Addams’ enjoy macabre décor and have strange antics, such as shooting golf balls off roofs and a sibling rivalry between a sister and a brother focused on physically harming — and maybe murdering — one another. This film brings all the wit and hilarity the family has from the old cartoon and the 1960s television adaptation, helping our generation understand the family that would sometimes guest star in “Scooby Doo” cartoons. The film produced a sequel, “Addams Family Values,” in 1993. ‘Casper’ (1995) Another film based on a cartoon and comic book series, “Casper” is about Casper, the ghost of a boy who lives with his three rude and obnoxious ghost uncles Stinkie, Stretch and Fatso. When the house they haunt is rumored to have hidden riches, Carrigan Crittenden (Cathy Moriarty), the owner of the house and seeker of the treasure,

manipulates a paranormal therapist (Bill Pullman) and his daughter, played by Christina Ricci, to come to the house in order to get the ghosts away. Like “Beetlejuice” back in 1988, the grotesque humor the three uncle ghosts have is a constant gag throughout the movie. The kind Casper is the hero throughout the film, thwarting Carrigan’s plans to take the treasure and getting the girl — or at least a kiss — at the end. This is a fun and feel-good film to watch during the season, and Casper is just so gosh darn cute. ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (1993) Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a clay-animated film about Jack Skellington (Danny Elfman), a skeleton who is the ultimate master of fright in Halloweentown. When he begins to feel there is something more to him than scaring people, he stumbles upon Christmastown, a town that celebrates Christmas all year round. Wanting to celebrate Christmas his own way, Jack forces the role of Santa Claus, which causes damages in both Halloweentown and Christmastown. Coming from the mind of producer Tim Burton, this film has an excellent cast of characters and musical numbers composed and performed by Burton favorite Elfman that keep me singing the songs for days on end. Added bonus — the film can be watched twice a year for Halloween and Christmas. ‘Hocus Pocus’ (1993) A Halloween list isn’t complete without this movie. Set in Salem, Mass., on Halloween, three sister witches are resurrected from their 300-year imprisonment for stealing the life force of a child by new-totown Max Dennison (Omri Katz). The witches strive to remain alive after discovering their resurrection only lasts through Halloween night unless they capture children and take their life forces before sunrise. The witches scour the city for victims, taking Max’s sister and his crush. Max save his sister and the witches are thwarted, exploding into dust the next morning. This movie used to scare me senseless as a kid, but as an adult, the witches are more humorous than frightening. The extreme personalities of the sisters are timeless. The eldest, played by Bette Midler, is constantly sensitive to people calling her ugly, which contrasts greatly with her youngest sister, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, who is the beautiful, yet dumb, blonde witch. The middle sister, played by Kathy Najimy, is the stranger of the three and acts more like a dog with her abilities to sniff out and track children.

Junior tight end Jeff Heuerman (86) is tackled out of bounds during a game against Wisconsin Sept. 28 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 31-24.

Upon Urban Meyer’s arrival in late 2011 as coach of the Ohio State football team, the possibility of his spread offense in Columbus excited Buckeye Nation. The No. 4 Buckeyes (8-0, 4-0) rank fifth in the country in points per game, averaging 47.3 a contest. But one position in Meyer’s offense many believed would get more attention, the tight end, has become lost in the shuffle at times. OSU’s starter at tight end, junior Jeff Heuerman, has receptions in five of the Buckeyes’ eight wins this season, but has only snagged one touchdown. Heuerman didn’t record a catch in his team’s 63-14 drubbing of Penn State Saturday, but said he doesn’t let his lack of catches bother him. “The ball gets dispersed around however it does (on offense),” Heuerman said Monday. “I’m happy doing my job, whether it’s blocking, whether it’s catching. Whatever it is, I’m happy. I enjoy doing it. Obviously we’re 20-0 so its working out pretty good, so I’m not complaining.” Tight ends and fullbacks coach Tim Hinton said the reason Heuerman and redshirt-sophomore tight end

Competition across B1G volleyball ‘difficult’ Tim Moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu When it comes to women’s volleyball, the Big Ten rules the rankings. As of Monday, seven of the conference’s 12 teams are ranked in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 Poll, with three others in the conference receiving multiple votes. That means 10 of 12, or more than 83 percent of all Big Ten women’s volleyball teams are either ranked or close to it. The conference with the second-highest number of teams either ranked or receiving votes is the Pac-12, with seven. Currently leading the pack is No. 2 Penn State, while Minnesota, Nebraska, Michigan State and Wisconsin all sit in the top 15. Purdue and Michigan come in at 16th and 17th, respectively, and Ohio State, Illinois and Northwestern each received votes. Northwestern coach Keylor Chan, who has led the Wildcats to a 5-5 conference record, said rankings are thrown out the window when it comes to Big Ten play. “It’s just difficult,” he said. “Every weekend you have great teams coming in, you never have a break.” Chan added that his team prepares for each opponent the same, no matter its national standing. “We prepare for everyone,” he said. “You’re preparing for each team, I don’t think rankings tell you what a team is like.” Chan’s Wildcats have not yet been ranked this season, but they have topped multiple teams featured in the AVCA poll. Northwestern beat then-No. 20 Purdue Oct. 12 and on Oct. 16, the Wildcats beat then-No. 17 Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who have been ranked as high as No. 12 this season, currently sit outside of the top 25 after finding out just how tough the competition is. OSU is currently 2-8 in Big Ten play, which includes six consecutive losses. The Buckeyes opened their conference season with a 3-1 home victory over then-No. 10 Michigan Sept. 27, but have not topped a ranked opponent since then. Even taking into account the team’s recent

The Ohio State women’s volleyball team celebrates a victory against Michigan Sept. 27 at St. John Arena. OSU won, 3-1. struggles, OSU still received 43 votes in the most recent AVCA poll. So Buckeyes have already played seven matches against current teams in the top 25. They are scheduled to play six of their final 10 Big Ten matches against currently ranked opponents. Freshman defensive specialist Valeria León said the competition is high in the Big Ten and that she and her teammates always have to be on top of their game. “You know, Wisconsin can beat Nebraska and Nebraska can beat Penn State,” León said. “You never know, we have to play hard every game.” Despite a tough schedule, OSU coach Geoff Carlston said he is “proud to be part of the Big Ten.” “It’s fun to figure out the problems and try to figure out what we need to do,” he said. Freshman middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe said playing in such a tough conference creates stronger players. “Honestly, playing in the Big Ten, it’s the best volleyball conference,” she said. “I think you’re going to be the best player you can be by coming out of it.”

Four members of the 14 players named to the 2012 AVCA Division I First-Team All-America squad came from Big Ten schools. Six players from the conference made the second-team, four made the third-team, including Mari Hole from OSU, and four more made the honorable mention list. Senior outside hitter Kaitlyn Leary said the level of play is never a burden. “I love playing in the Big Ten, it’s one of the reasons I chose Ohio State,” she said. “Every single game you’re playing a top 20 team. It’s awesome, it’s fun and it definitely prepares you for the tournament.” Carlston, his players and Chan all said they agreed that winning a Big Ten title is tougher than winning a national championship. “(To) win the Big Ten title, you have to be good for 10 weeks,” Chan said. As is often the case, the Buckeyes are scheduled to return to the court this weekend for two more ranked matches. OSU is set to travel to East Lansing, Mich., Friday for a match against No. 14 Michigan State, before heading to Ann Arbor, Mich., Saturday for a date with No. 17 Michigan.

Season outlook bright for Cleveland with new additions Sports Columnist

A disappointing 2012-13 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who finished 24-58 on the year, prompted a flurry of additions in the offseason. These additions to Ryan Cooper the roster have cooper.487@osu.edu the potential to make them one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA this season. The Cavs went into last season hoping a talented young core of Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters and Tristan Thompson, along with long-time Cavalier Anderson Varejao would translate to more wins. After winning only 24 games and ending up with the first pick in the NBA draft for the second time in three years, it became clear the Cavs needed more of a supporting cast to help out the young talent they had gathered. Their first move, however, was not to bring in a new player, but a new coach. Byron Scott was fired after his third season with the team, and new (or old) coach Mike Brown was brought back to Cleveland after getting fired

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova (9) drives to the basket during a game against the Philadelphia 76ers Oct. 21 at the Schottenstein Center. The Cavaliers won, 104-93. by the Los Angeles Lakers. Brown coached L.A. to a 41-25 record in the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, but was let go after the team started 1-4 last year. With a coach in place, it was time for general manager Chris Grant to assemble the roster. In all, eight new players were brought on board, five of which should make a heavy impact on the team.

With the first overall pick, Cleveland took former-UNLV forward Anthony Bennett. Then, with the nineteenth pick, acquired from the Lakers, they selected Sergey Karasev, a forward and three-point specialist from Russia. Grant was not afraid to spend money, either, signing three of the bigger free agents available. Jarrett Jack, a point guard who last played with the Golden State Warriors, was signed to bring stability and veteran leadership to the backcourt. Earl Clark, who played with Brown in Los Angeles for the Lakers, was signed to be play small forward. Finally, the Cavs shocked many by bringing in another former player of Brown’s, the oft-injured but supremely talented center Andrew Bynum. If Bynum can make a full recovery from a plethora of knee injuries, suddenly the Cavs look like a viable threat to be one of the four or five best teams in the Eastern Conference. What will stand in their way could continue to be inexperience. Irving is already a superstar in the league at just 21 years old, and Waiters and Thompson could emerge to join Irving as the Cavs “Big Three.” But Waiters is only 21 and Thompson is 22. There’s a good chance they will need more experience before they learn how to win games. That could be the value of someone like Jack, who was brought in not only for his performance on the court, but his abilities to act as a player-coach both on the floor and in the locker room. The Cavs open their season Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Brooklyn in Cleveland.

studentvoice ‘Pink Out’ at the ‘Shoe great support for cancer awareness Megan montville For The Lantern montville.3@osu.edu Breast cancer is beautiful. That’s right you just read the words “breast cancer” and “beautiful” in the same sentence. The disease my mom is currently fighting for her life is something I just called beautiful. I’ve known many breast cancer survivors throughout my life, including my mom who has survived this nasty disease three times. I personally know the struggle and the ugliness brought on from cancer. Diagnosed for her fourth time this past August, Diane Montville continues to be a warrior. Juggling schoolwork on top of the emotions from this disease, I am currently in my second year at Ohio State. I have always been a proud Buckeye, but I have never been

more personally touched than this past weekend during the football game. OSU played Penn State with a winning score of 63-14. It’s a game I will never forget because the entire stadium was not only supporting our amazing football team, but we were all supporting breast cancer awareness. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and my school took this on full-heartedly. Pink T-shirts, pink cheerleader outfits, pink all over the football players — everything was pink. I have never felt so personally touched sitting next to almost 106,000 people as I have this past Saturday. Yes, breast cancer is a horrible, ugly, life threatening disease, but it brings so many people together in the most beautiful ways. Hope is a word we used every time my mom has had breast cancer in the past,

but this time around, the word hope — just a short four letter word — has an entirely new meaning. Hope is what Ohio Stadium felt as the winning touchdown was about to happen on the field. Hope is something you feel turning in an exam that determines your college GPA. It is something I feel when I see this beautiful warrior standing in front of me. It is something my mom sees every time she sees the color pink. Something felt with more than 100,000 people this past weekend. Hope is something I will never lose because my fellow Buckeyes showed me that thousands of other people support my mom. Hope is what makes breast cancer beautiful.

Language immersion a worthy study abroad experience Letter to the editor:

Courtesy of Brian Yeh

Brian Yeh, a fourth-year in economics, poses while visiting the Great Wall of China during his study abroad trip last academic year.

Although famous for his signature bow tie and occasional practice of dropping in on student keggers, what former Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee is less known for (but for which he deserves no less recognition) is his expressed desire that all incoming OSU students possess a passport. While this was never made an admissions requirement, OSU in recent years has made substantial progress in showing it recognizes the value of the passport as the “driver’s license of the 21st century.” From Global Gateways in China, India and Brazil, to month-long Maymester programs in places as far-flung as Uganda and Hungary, many students have been able to experience new people, languages and cultures — often for the very first time. Having had the opportunity to travel extensively as a child, in making my own decision to study abroad, I sought a culturally immersive program that would push me to my cultural and linguistic boundaries. With this criterion in mind, I decided to venture off the proverbial “beaten path” and study at the Middlebury Schools Abroad program in Beijing for the 2012-13 academic

year. Although I knew full well the bureaucratic hoops I would have to jump through to study with an externally-sponsored program, I had long heard Middlebury programs are renowned for their academic rigor and system of cultural immersion. My year in China did not disappoint. Although as a heritage learner I was afraid I would be singled out by my teachers, I discovered a corps of friendly, talented and passionate educators dedicated to helping my fellow students and I succeed in our language studies. Moreover, the Language Pledge that kept my fellow students and I (almost) constantly speaking Chinese helped me become much more comfortable speaking the language. The Language Pledge was complemented by content courses on topics ranging from the history and culture of Beijing to the Chinese Constitution — all in Chinese. My favorite, however, was my one-on-one tutorial on Chinese foreign policy, for which I met individually with my Chinese teacher for three hours per week to discuss a text written specifically for me. Beyond academics, I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to live and converse with my Chinese roommate, as well as group excursions to Nanjing and Luoyang.

My year in China did more to broaden my cultural and linguistic horizons than years of classes in the U.S. did. OSU should continue its efforts to make studying abroad more accessible to students of all academic disciplines — in particular through programs such as Global May. However, more must be done to encourage students to study languages at an intensive level for longer periods of time, particularly with internationally-recognized programs such as Middlebury. Of the 11 study abroad programs in China listed on the Office of International Affairs website, for example, only one uses Chinese as the primary language of instruction. Ultimately, not all study abroad programs are created equal, and OSU students should have increased access to university-sponsored programs both linguistically and culturally immersive. A complementary action would be to streamline the process of applying to externally-sponsored study abroad programs and for receiving academic credit abroad.

sports Equestrian team opportunity for students of all skill levels Caroline Keyes Senior Lantern reporter keyes.64@osu.edu When discussing successful Ohio State sports teams, many students naturally think of football or basketball, however, there is another team with a long track record of significant accomplishments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Ohio State Western Equestrian team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told by a past AD (athletic director) at Ohio State that we are the most successful team in the history of Ohio State University,â&#x20AC;? Ollie Griffith said. Griffith has been the head coach of the team since 1985 along with his wife, Debbie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The team has) won nine national championships, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won six reserve national championships â&#x20AC;Ś half of the time that nationals has existed, we have been either first or second since we have been competing,â&#x20AC;? Griffith said. Griffith acknowledges many students may feel intimidated to partake in the team with such a successful history, but stressed it is a rewarding opportunity for all OSU students because of six varying skill levels ranging from beginner to open, which are the most capable and experienced riders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have riders that have won world championships, and we have riders that have never touched a horse,â&#x20AC;? Griffith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if you are an undergraduate and you like horses, but you think the Ohio State team is not for you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, yes it is because they have all these different divisions.â&#x20AC;? Lidia Pedrozo, a third-year in animal science and the president of the team, said she has been described by others as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;poster childâ&#x20AC;? for their association. This is because as a freshman at OSU she had never ridden a horse, but after contacting the Griffiths on a whim and having her first lesson that

First-year in operations management Elissa Bening (center) and second-year in science and technology exploration Aaron Boone ride during an equestrian team practice at Autumn Rose Farm in Plain City, Oct. 4. same week, she is now a national champion in her division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to Ohio State and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know people showed horses,â&#x20AC;? Pedrozo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It speaks volumes about our coaching staff, turning a kid who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how to hold reins or get on a horse, and making her into a national champion less than 2 years later.â&#x20AC;? The Western team competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, which is comprised of more than 370 university teams across the nation, with only the nine best teams making it to nationals each year. With nine national titles as of 2011, the OSU team is the most successful team in the IHSA.

Heuerman from 1B Nick Vannett are not getting the ball as much has nothing to do with their abilities on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Against Penn State) there (were) a couple of plays that we called that I thought going into the game, the tight end would get the ball, we all thought the tight end would get the ball,â&#x20AC;? Hinton said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penn State didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate. But on the one, they took the two defenders and guarded the tight end on it, well Carlos Hyde caught a pass, went down the sideline, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. Really. And the bottom line is that we all get what we want if we win.â&#x20AC;? Meyer said he wishes his tight end could get more involved in the passing game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeff Heuerman (is) playing at a very high level right now,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly in blocking, (we) need to get him some more catches. But (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) playing at a very high level.â&#x20AC;? Heuerman has also been heavily involved for blocking for the

Aaron Boone, a second-year in science and technology exploration, recently became involved with the team, and hopes to one day own and operate his own horse farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is honestly the most affordable way you could ever want to do horse shows,â&#x20AC;? Boone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared to buying your own horse, buying your saddle, buying your tack, buying your trailer, going to the show, paying your entry fees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they already provide everything for you.â&#x20AC;? The OSU Western Equestrian team is not to be confused with the Ohio State Hunt Seat Equestrian team, which is based off an English style of riding and

coached by Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother. While the Hunt Seat team focuses on jumping, the Western team focuses on skills like stopping, starting, turning and spinning. Austin Griffith, a fourth-year in marketing and Ollie and Debbie Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, is one of the most successful riders on the team and won the highly coveted High Point Rider award twice in his collegiate career, which is awarded to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best riders. He is training to win it in the spring for his third and final time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is (a lot of pressure), but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it too much and I just have to give it my best,â&#x20AC;? Austin Griffith said. The Griffiths own and operate Autumn Rose Farm in Plain City, which is about 20 minutes from campus. The OSU team uses a specific segment of the farm, but Austin Griffith said approximately 400 to 500 students are taught at the farm every week. Elissa Bening, a first-year in operations management, has been taking lessons at Autumn Rose Farm since she was four years old and is now in her first year on the OSU team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ollie and Debbie have been some of the most supportive people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in my life,â&#x20AC;? Bening said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve driven me to go as far as I can and to be as successful as I can be, so they are a huge part in all of my success.â&#x20AC;? Ollie Griffith said for him and his wife, the most important part of the OSU team is what the students get out of it. Not only is it one of the most inexpensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; costing students a total of $476 to participateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; ways for college students to get involved with riding, but Ollie Griffith said the relationships built among the riders and coaches are what matters the most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You come out and join the Ohio State team and you will make lifelong friends,â&#x20AC;? Ollie Griffith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about winning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is about liking what we do and enjoying horses.â&#x20AC;?

ear to Hintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversation with the media. Hinton was quick to rescind his comment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here is the deal: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really, really good,â&#x20AC;? Hinton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean really good at what he does. He (has) a knack for it. He understands leverage, and you know like every great football player youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very football intelligent. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very football intelligent guy.â&#x20AC;? Although Heuerman admits he did not not fully trust Meyer, Hinton and the rest of the coaches once they installed the spread offense at OSU, that has since changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to trust (Hinton) a whole lot. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big thing,â&#x20AC;? Heuerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, everything was kind of new, and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say I 100 percent trusted him, but this year, we have a great relationship. I trust him with anything in my life.â&#x20AC;? Heuerman and the Buckeyes are scheduled to pay a visit to Purdue (1-6, 0-3) Saturday as they look to continue to add to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest winning streak. Kickoff is slated for 12 p.m.

ninth-ranked OSU rushing attack. In the win against the Nittany Lions, he had key blocks on junior quarterback Braxton Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second touchdown run of the night, as well as senior running back Carlos Hydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 39-yard scamper in the second quarter. Along with the rest of the offensive line, Heuerman has helped Hyde gash opposing defenses for 464 yards and seven touchdowns in the last three games. Heuerman has already nearly doubled the number of receptions he had in 2012, and credits his relationship with Hinton as reason for becoming a force on the line as well as improving his production in the passing game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Hinton and I have an outstanding relationship. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outstanding coach,â&#x20AC;? Heuerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I owe a lot of everything that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to accomplish here at Ohio State to him over the last few years.â&#x20AC;? The two work so well together that Heuerman even took the time Monday to eavesdrop in on Hintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conference, sticking his head in with a big smile on his face to listen to what his coach had to say about him. That incited a laugh from Hinton, who jokingly said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever coach a guy like that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because Heuerman seemed to be enjoying himself as he lent an
