Ticket sales for the upcoming Ohio State men’s basketball season, originally scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday, have been postponed because of “technical difficulties,” said Brett Scarbrough, senior director of ticketing for OSU. The e-mail informing students of the launch of ticket sales was sent Monday morning, but a significant number of students did not receive the information.

“We realized the problem this (Tuesday) morning that the e-mails had not broadcast,” Scarbrough said. “It had sent about 49,000 e-mails at the point where we made the decision to postpone the on-sale.”

He said that makes up about 70 percent of the e-mails that were going to be sent.

Once the e-mails were stopped, officials realized the problem.

“Specifically it relates to how the e-mail servers at both ends of the pipeline are talking to each other and allowing the flow of e-mails to come through,” Scarbrough said.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the athletic department sent out a press release stating, “Tickets were supposed to go on sale today, but technical difficulties caused the sale date to be postponed.”

Other efforts to inform students included a tweet by Assistant Athletic Director of Communications Dan Wallenberg that read, “Student tickets for Ohio State men’s basketball will go on sale at 4 p.m. next Tuesday, Oct. 12. Sale today was postponed-technical issues.”

Despite the efforts, some students did not hear of the change.

“I still signed on at (4 p.m.), still not knowing it was even postponed,” said Jake Schaurer, welcoming director for the OSU Sportsmanship Council.

A message on the university website informed Schaurer of the delay, but he never got the initial e-mail announcing that ticket sales were beginning.

“I was fortunate to have contacts that are involved in athletics that told me it was going on at (4 p.m.), but I would have had no way to know otherwise,” he said.

Those contacts included the student seating group Block “O.” “We did a reminder … to Block ‘O’ members about the availability of the tickets,” said Josh Daenens, president of the organization. “It really had nothing to do with the athletic department.”

The university is taking the time to work out the server problems, officials said.

“Instead of 24 hours or 48 hours,” Scarbrough said, “we wanted to make sure there was plenty of time to get the servers in working condition.”

Bicycles swarm OSU’s campus every day, but some drivers think cyclists need to put their training wheels back on and wonder what police are doing to enforce bike laws.

Campus bicyclists are required to abide by the same traffic laws as any vehicle, which includes stopping at red lights and stop signs, refraining from parking in unspecified areas and yielding to other vehicles and pedestrians at sidewalks, crosswalks and roadways, police said.

Bicyclists are supposed to ride on roadways and are prohibited from riding on sidewalks. The fines for traffic violations are the same for vehicles and bicycles.

The OSU Police records department does not keep records of bicycle traffic violations, said Pamela Temple, records manager.

“There (aren’t) many that are issued a citation unless they collided with a vehicle,” she said.

OSU police try to focus on problems that affect students the most, said OSU Police Capt. Eric Whiteside.

“We have to balance resources and focus on the most pressing issues,” he said. “We can’t handle all problems on campus.”

Bicyclists often ride through central campus on the Oval, and although some might disagree, it is not necessarily a traffic violation.

“The Oval is open to interpretation,” Whiteside said. Technically, the sidewalks connecting campus are considered “paths,” which means they are off-limits to bicyclists.

Lisa Allen, a third-year in mechanical engineering, started riding a bike on campus this year but said she was unaware of the laws.

“I didn’t know riding on the sidewalks was illegal,” she said. “Everyone does it.”

Fahad Syed, a fourth-year in political science and international business, said he doesn’t pay much attention to the bicycle laws, even though he is familiar with them.

“Do I know you’re not supposed to ride on sidewalks? Yes. Do I do it? Yes,” Syed said.

Syed said he thinks bicyclists break the laws because they don’t care.

“It’s not like police are pulling people over on bikes,” he added.

OSU pays full tuition for out-of-state athletes Grant frekinG Senior Lantern reporter freking.4@osu.edu One of the cornerstones of winning championships at the collegiate level is recruiting. In some sports, that means traveling across the country to entice potential Buckeyes. In other sports, it can mean scouring the world for talent.

Ohio State requires its athletic department to pay out-of-state tuition for out-of-state athletes, which is unusual in college athletics.

Although the practice is expensive, it gives OSU a recruiting advantage over schools that do not cover out-of-state tuition.

“When a coach can go anywhere and offer a full scholarship and say, ‘We’ll cover your full tuition,’ that’s significant because a lot of schools don’t do that,” said OSU athletic director Gene Smith.

In addition to setting OSU apart, covering out-ofstate tuition could contribute to success in Division I athletics, he said.

“Paying out-of-state tuition is a way for teams to remain nationally competitive. It’s hard to imagine a team that would maintain itself as a national power with kids from just one state,” said Scott Rosner, associate director of the Wharton Sports Business Initiative and a lecturer at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. “So as enormously

important as it is to keep Ohio kids going to OSU, you still aren’t going to win a national championship without an influx of out-of-state athletes.”

Ben Jay, senior associate athletic director for Finance and Operations, said that in the 2009-10 school year, out of the 1,076 student-athletes in OSU’s 36 varsity sports, Gene Smith 567, or about 52 percent, were from out of state. That number includes 104 international athletes.

Smith said several of OSU’s sports rely on international talent.

“We’re going to recruit around the world, just like our institution does,” Smith said. “We want to be the best (athletics) program in the country and be an example for the world.”

For the department, paying for the scholarships is a tall task.

In the 2009-10 school year, the OSU Athletic Department spent about $14.5 million on athletic scholarships. That number is about half of the $29 million the department raised for 2008-09.

Of OSU’s 36 varsity sports, only football and men’s basketball are profitable. Smith said football brings in about 46 percent of the department’s

revenue, while men’s basketball brings in around 21 percent.

When pressed on whether he would consider cutting some of the sports that are losing money, Smith made his feelings clear.

“One of the worst things in sports is standing in front of kids, many of them have eligibility remaining, and discontinuing their sport when you’ve recruited them to come here,” Smith said. “We have a lot of things we would cut before we would get to cutting kids’ opportunities. I would almost cut our staff down by a third before we get to that. I don’t think we’re ever going to get there.”

In an interview with The Lantern in April, OSU President E. Gordon Gee said he would consider cutting non-revenue sports only if the athletic department was experiencing a budget shortfall.

“As we take a look at the economics of it, if we start running a deficit, then we’ll start thinking about” cutting sports, Gee said.

Some states reduced or eliminated the need for tuition reimbursement because they footed the bill or partially covered the cost of the course. However, the economy is forcing states to slash their budgets, and tuition waivers have been on the chopping block.

campus Six OSU doctorate programs rank high nationally

Sarah Pfledderer Lantern reporter pfledderer.2@buckeyemail.osu.edu

Six of the 133 doctorate programs offered at Ohio State ranked in the “top 3 range” of the National Research Council doctorate program rankings: agricultural, environmental and developmental economics; communications; food science and nutrition; pharmacy; theatre; and plant cellular and molecular biology.

The National Research Council released its “Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States” early last week. The study consisted of data and analysis on more than 5,000 doctorate programs from 212 universities to “assess the quality and effectiveness of doctorate programs in the United States.”

Professor Patrick Osmer, dean of OSU’s Graduate School, said anyone reviewing the rankings must be “mindful and aware” of how and when the data was analyzed. However, Osmer said OSU will take information from the rankings into account when making decisions about financial cuts for programs.

Rankings took into account both the opinions of program faculty members and the program’s overall reputation, said Julie CarpenterHubin, director of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. And results were provided by giving programs a range of rankings.

Some OSU officials speculate that providing a range of rankings for program placement causes confusion, especially because the data was

collected from faculty members in the 2005-2006 school year.

A program that stood out among all others at OSU was the agricultural, environmental and developmental economics program, as it was granted the narrowest and highest range of rankings at OSU. “Our high (National Research Council) ranking carries much weight,” said Alan Randall, previous department chair. “It will only make our program more attractive to applicants and our graduates more attractive to top-of-the-line employers.”

Randall attributes the program’s achievements to “an excellent graduate faculty, the department’s strong performance in refereed publications and citations of published research, and some specific actions we have taken to strengthen our program,” he said.

Tim Haab, department chair of the program as of Friday, said, “The (National Research Council) rankings don’t just reflect our past successes but they provide a glimpse of what a high-quality department of applied economists adds to Ohio State’s journey from excellence to eminence.”

Mike Mangino, OSU’s food science and nutrition interim department chair, was also pleased with his program’s ranking. Mangino said that being granted a high ranking will make the program more appealing to prospective students and employers.

However, he agrees with Damian Bowerman, OSU’s theatre graduate studies and publicity coordinator, that the ranking system is difficult to follow.

“We noticed that there are several errors in the data included in the

report,” Bowerman said. “However, we are pleased overall with the ranking of our Ph.D. program.”

He said the program is ranked high because of its academic and professional achievements, as well as its close affiliations with theater personalities, programs and institutes.

The rankings will “help to support the (already established) excellent reputation of the Department of Theatre’s Ph.D. program,” he said.

Majority of vets haven’t pursued pay for extra service alex antonetz Senior Lantern reporter antonetz.3@osu.edu For 145,000 stop-loss veterans, the chance to get paid for extra service has been extended.

“Stop-loss” refers to an extension in service members’ active duty that retains them past the end of their original contracts.

President Barack Obama signed a resolution Thursday extending the deadline to apply for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay from Oct. 21 to Dec. 3.

The program was enacted to compensate military members whose service was extended between Sept. 11, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2009, including Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Less than 60,000 of the 145,000 eligible service members have submitted a claim for pay so far.

“The reason they extended the deadline is … a majority of (the 145,000 members) still had not applied for the benefits, and that’s why they extended it,” said Michael Forrest, program director for Veterans Affairs at Ohio State.

Eligible members can receive up to $500 per month in stop-loss. The average total payout so far is approximately $3,800, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.

Rob Gooden, Air Force ROTC office manager at OSU, said he didn’t know if many people were aware of the deadline, but he is still trying to spread the word.

“We are just trying to get the word out that the folks who were caught up in this can apply for this $500 special pay,” he said.

Though few people at OSU are affected, other veterans and ROTC members said they would want to know about compensation.

“The Air Force rarely had to deal with stop-loss, so we never heard much about it, though people I knew in the Army and Marines said it was a constant concern,” said Kyle Knox, 24, a fourth-year in journalism, who spent four years on active duty at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.

Out of the about 60,000 claims received so far, more than 49,000 have come from the Army.

Derek Whipkey, a fourth-year in biology serving

in the Army ROTC, said although he is not affected by stop-loss and can’t speak for those who are, he believes it is likely that many veterans know about the upcoming deadline.

“Most veterans have a little more vested interest in that sort of thing, and I’m sure they know people that are actually affected by the policy,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Army ROTC at OSU was not immediately available for comment.

Still, less than half of the total eligible service members have applied for pay.

“It’s important that all those eligible for this benefit take the opportunity to apply for what they’ve earned,” said Lernes Hebert, acting director of Officer and Enlisted Personnel Management at the Department of Defense, in a press release.

In a Sept. 15 video message, Obama urged eligible service members skeptical about the pay to apply.

“Some veterans think this is some sort of gimmick or scam, or that it’s a way for the government to call you back to service,” Obama said.

“Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Students cheer on the Buckeyes in the Block ‘O’ North section of the Ohio Stadium during the Eastern Michigan game Sept. 25.

Students still dissatisfied with football ticket system blake williams Senior Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu After the process for ordering student football tickets was modified, problems continue to surface.

Emma Esmont, a graduate student in public health who graduated from Ohio State in the spring, signed up to sit with a friend for the fourth consecutive year.

“I’m in a totally different section than (my friend) is,” Esmont said. “She is in the South Stands and I’m on the sidelines. It was just really frustrating because now I’m sitting in a section by myself.”

Other students received tickets in the groups they wanted but were unhappy with their seat locations.

“I kind of expected to have better seats than last year,” said Natalie Arnason, a third-year in nutrition.

“Last year I was in B-deck but pretty close to A. But this year I’m in 4-C, like the very top.”

That was despite having the same group members both years, with each member advancing from rank-two to rank-three status.

Class rank determined seating assignments, officials said.

“The way the group process works is one person is identified as the group leader … and determines which class ranks can join that group,” said Brett Scarbrough, senior director of ticketing. “The way that group seating is designed is it’s based on the lowest ranked member of the group.”

Though that portion of the process was similar to past years, the ordering procedure did undergo a change in the spring. All students ordered tickets in June, with seniors ordering first and each lower rank

2A

ordering on a separate day later in the month.

In previous years, returning students ordered tickets in April, and incoming freshmen and transfer students ordered in June.

Changes were made in part to “alleviate the confusion … around groups that wanted to sit with other students that may not have ordered during the same ordering period,” Scarbrough said.

Esmont was confused about why her group of two was separated.

“We’ve sat together every other year,” she said.

“We were upset … but somebody’s not going to reissue tickets just for you.”

Though Esmont did not formally complain, others did.

“We’ve received a few complaints regarding people who thought that their group request was not honored,” Scarbrough said. “All of those turned out to be that the student did not go in (to) properly attach the group name to their order.”

Despite claims that the problems were a result of user error, Esmont received confirmation that she had successfully joined the group, she said.

“Students didn’t believe that underclassmen should get a block of tickets … held for them when seniors and juniors didn’t all get what they wanted,” said Bill Jones, associate athletic director of External Relations.

Anarson was one of those students.

“When freshmen sit in A-deck and juniors and seniors have worse tickets, I just think it’s kind of awkward,” she said.

Despite concerns about the group ticketing process, both Jones and Scarbrough said they expect only minor changes next year.

Law-breakers should be ticketed, CABS driver says Harold Stith, a 15-year veteran CABS driver, said police should do just that.

“Ticket them just like automobiles,” Stith said.

“It’d be a good idea.”

Stith often sees bikers “dart in front” of him.

“They think these buses stop on a dime,” he said. “They don’t look.”

Most riders are discourteous, and education is the best way to alleviate frustrations, Stith said.

Judy Willour, the organist and choir director for St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, said she has been frustrated with cyclists for 15 years.

During her daily commute to Woodruff Avenue and High Street this fall, she has noticed an increase in “erratic” riders, she said.

Willour attributes the behavior in part to the influx of freshmen.

“Some of them are from small towns and aren’t used to the traffic,” she said. “The biggest problem

is that they come out of hidden driveways without looking.”

An outline of university transportation and parking policies, including bicycle laws, can be found at tp.osu.edu/policiesandprocedures.

focused on wins, director says cut tuition waivers for out-of-state studentathletes, according to a press release. For colleges such as the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, that means athletic programs will be tasked with covering out-of-state tuition fees for athletes who receive a full athletic scholarship. However,

that does not mean athletic directors are taking winning any less seriously.

“It is clear that the out-of-state waivers have had a favorable impact on the Seahawks,” said Kelly Mehrtens, former UNCW Director of Athletics, last June in a press release. “Moving forward, our goal is to continue improving our opportunities to win by recruiting the best student-athletes locally, nationally and abroad.”

Whether it’s operating in the black or the red, the OSU Athletic Department is championship-oriented.

“I’m a believer, as is President Gee, in if we’re going to sponsor the sport in Division I, we want to be successful at it,” Smith said. “We want to graduate at high rates and we want to win. Otherwise, put it in intramural recreation, or make it a club sport. At the end of the day, here, in our department, we’re about winning championships.”

Solar panels soon to supply hot water, electricity to White House renee SChoof McClatchy Newspapers MCT WASHINGTON — The most famous house in America is going solar.

The White House soon will have solar panels to supply the first family’s hot water and some of its electricity, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday.

It’s not yet clear whether the panels will be visible to tourists from below, but environmentalists and clean energy advocates hope that the buzz will give solar a boost, just as first lady Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden got more people buying seeds.

The White House solar panels will be a demonstration project to show that “American solar technologies are available, reliable and ready for installation in homes throughout the country,” the Energy Department said in a statement.

“This project reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home.

Deploying solar energy technologies across the country will help America lead the global economy for years to come,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement.

Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org — a campaign to find climate change solutions in communities around the world — said in a statement that the White House “did the right thing.”

“If it has anything like the effect of the White House garden, it could be a trigger for a wave of solar installations across the country and around the world,” he said.

President Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels on the roof of the

White House above the Oval Office in 1979 to heat water in the staff kitchen, according to the National Museum of American History in Washington, which acquired one of them. President Ronald Reagan removed them in 1986.

McKibben obtained one of the old White House panels and drove it from Maine to Washington last month, trying to push the administration toward taking action on climate change.

After Tuesday’s announcement, White House officials said solar had been in the plans since the early days of the administration.

Chu said in a blog post Tuesday that the new solar panels would be on the roof by the end of next spring.

The Energy Department will take bids from companies that want to install the panels and water heater. Among its criteria will be how well a company “showcases American technology, products and knowhow,” said Christine Glunz, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

The department expects the solar-powered system to produce about 19,700 kilowatt hours of electricity a year. Based on Washington commercial rates, that would mean an electricity bill savings for a typical household of $2,300 per year. The additional savings on hot water would be about $1,000.

The department is investing in the next generation of solar power, and it says that innovation and new technologies will make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional electricity across the country.

Solar today generates less than 1 percent of the nation’s electricity.

The costs of photovoltaic panels have been declining, however. The solar industry says that scaling up the use of solar would lower the cost further and make it competitive with coal and natural gas.

student voice Students shouldn’t sponsor discrimination GUEST Columnist

This week’s campus visit by members of the Westboro Baptist Church presents an opportunity for a discussion on tolerance. On the same day Ohio State hosted members of that congregation, The Lantern ran a column arguing that certain student organizations at OSU ought to be able to continue to discriminate based on religious beliefs, a question that comes before the Council on Student Affairs this month.

PETER KOLTAK To give some background, this koltak.5@osu.edu controversy dates back to the 2003-2004 school year. At the time, a Christian group at the law school threatened to sue OSU if it wasn’t exempted from the university’s nondiscrimination policy for student organizations. The threat was part of a nationwide campaign by that group’s parent organization to force universities to alter their policies.

Specifically, the group wanted the right to exclude students who didn’t follow its beliefs regarding homosexuality and premarital sex, which would not have been allowed under university policy at that time.

OSU’s notoriously risk-averse bureaucracy acquiesced to the group’s demands because the administration desperately wanted to avoid a lawsuit.

However, the University of California-Hastings forced the issue up to the Supreme Court, and the subsequent ruling this summer stated that public universities were free to enforce antidiscrimination polices of their choosing.

Freed from legal concerns, OSU is again confronted with the

principle of the issue — whether religious organizations should be granted a greater degree of selectivity when it comes to membership.

The arguments for allowing a limited level of discrimination seem quite reasonable on the surface. After all, what business does the university have in dictating acceptable religious beliefs to its students?

That seems like an obvious violation of a First Amendment right.

The issue, however, is less about the specific beliefs of any one group and more about fundamental fairness to all students. Registered student organizations are eligible for numerous benefits, including up to $3,000 annually in programming funds. That money comes directly from the Student Activity Fee, which is mandatory for every undergraduate, graduate and professional student.

Allowing religious discrimination opens the door to numerous unsavory scenarios. Why should any students have to pay fees every quarter knowing that a portion will be going to support groups they’re barred from joining for factors beyond their control?

If the Muslim Student Association took an extreme interpretation of Islam (it doesn’t) and removed or restricted its female members, would we be comfortable forcing women at OSU to pay to support those practices? I doubt it, but under current policy there wouldn’t be much OSU could do about it.

We should never take steps that prevent students from exercising their right to freely associate with others who share their religious beliefs, even if those beliefs seem objectionable to the majority. That doesn’t mean the university should give such groups a pat on the back and a $3,000 check made out to cash.

Most of us couldn’t care less if groups of students want to get together on their own time to practice a religion that discriminates against others. Personally, I’d happily defend their right to do so. But, on behalf of those who might find themselves on the outside looking in, I have one message: Don’t force the rest of us to pay for it.

‘Gay’ has to go: Drop it as a negative from your vocab LANTERN Columnist

There are some things in this world that I will never understand, like string theory, the appeal of Brussels sprouts and how “Two and a Half Men” is still on the air. I accept that I don’t understand — I know I will never get it, and I will leave these things to the people who can comprehend them.

One thing I don’t get and refuse to accept, however, is why the word “gay” has entered our collective lexicon as a commonly accepted DOROTHY POWELL synonym for “bad.” I do not underpowell.447@osu.edu stand it and I never will understand it. Unlike Brussels sprouts, I cannot let it be.

I hear people refer to negative things as “gay” on a daily basis. I have friends who say things along the lines of, “It’s so gay to have class on Fridays,” or, “You’re not coming out tonight? Gay!” Nine times out of 10, I will sit there and not say anything because I don’t generally like to cause drama about small things.

But this is not a small thing, and I should not stay silent. I’m going to tell you, dear reader, just why this is unacceptable.

First of all, it doesn’t make sense. Think about it: Why is being gay bad? Why does it have a negative connotation? It’s the same as being

If you can’t bring yourself to stop using ‘gay’ in a negative light for me, stop using it for Cody Barker, an openly gay teenager from Wisconsin who killed himself in September.

short or tall or a redhead. There are gay people in all cultures, all levels of society, all races, religions and countries (except, supposedly, Iran).

Being gay is … normal.

True, not everyone is gay, and modern American society is not the most gay-friendly in the world. But this is 2010. Would you say the fact that the cable guy can’t come until next week is “black?” Would you say that forgetting your umbrella when it’s raining is “female?” Of course not. There’s nothing wrong with being African-American, just like there’s nothing wrong with being a woman, just like there’s nothing wrong with being gay. The negative connotation is completely unfounded.

Every time you say something you don’t like is “gay,” you are making that negative connection. You are taking something perfectly normal and, frankly, unremarkable, and attaching it to being negative. Every time you use “gay” like that, you are tying being gay to being bad.

“But wait!” you say. “I have gay friends! I’m not a homophobe!”

Well, you might not be a homophobe, but you certainly sound like

one. Do your gay friends know that you think that part of who they are is negative? I know that if I found out my friends thought being short was bad (or worse, immoral), I would hightail my 5-foot-2-inch self right out of their lives. No one wants to hang out with people who disapprove of a central part of their being.

“No,” you say. “You’ve got it all wrong! I don’t think being gay is bad!” Then why on earth, gentle reader, do you keep saying it is?

Every time — ­ every time — you use “gay” to mean “bad” or “dumb” or anything else negative, you reinforce the idea that being gay is bad. If you don’t think being gay is any of those things, if you don’t care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes, then it is just plain ignorant and hurtful to insinuate otherwise.

I know it’s hard to change your vocabulary. I know what it’s like to develop a catchphrase and use it over and over until you can’t remember a time when you didn’t say it. But “gay” isn’t “hella” or “whack” or a “that’s-what-she-said” joke. “Gay” as a pejorative is hurtful, offensive and ignorant.

If you can’t bring yourself to stop using “gay” in a negative light for me, stop using it for Cody Barker, an openly gay teenager from Wisconsin who killed himself in September after being bullied for his sexuality.

Or stop for Billy Lucas, 15, who didn’t identify himself as gay but who was tormented about his perceived sexuality so badly that he, too, took his own life. These young men died because being gay was perceived by their peers as being bad.

Being gay is not a negative thing. Love is not a negative thing. Stop implying otherwise.

Look for your ‘urban family’ LANTERN Columnist

I have been in 19 weddings. Yes, almost like the movie, I hear it all the time. Ohio State has given me more than degrees. OSU has provided me and so many people I know with the opportunity to make lifelong friends and share my life with kindred spirits.

There are people who become so close to you that they become a kind of family. The term I use for PATRICIA CUNNINGHAM this is urban family. It is the cunningham.212@osu.edu family you make yourself, the friends you make on purpose.

Your “bros” and “gal-pals” can be more valuable than your family.

Bromance is now a legit word in the dictionary. This validates my three-year use of the word when describing male platonic friendships. I am not talking about beer pong. I am talking about the friend who picks you up from the airport at 3 a.m. and the friend who goes with you to your father’s funeral.

I regularly use the word gal-pals to talk about female friendships. Not the random girls you walked home with from a party on 15th Avenue. I am alluding to the women who have your back when you are in an abusive relationship, the women who pool their money to buy you a flight home to visit a cancer-stricken parent.

I know that I have some of the best friends a gal could ask for.

I have been on some amazing road trips and can remember each movie night and hairbrush-lip-synched musical montage.

As I stood up with those 19 friends on their wedding days, I was reminded of karaoke nights and pretending to be dancing queens at the club. All of our moments bear testimony to the intimacy that is an urban family.

I was at Starbucks with a friend recently, and we decided that OSU’s architecture differs from campuses such as Notre Dame, where all the buildings look the same. We reasoned that the diversity in the buildings at OSU represents the diversity of its people.

I like that none of the buildings look the same. It shows that not only has the campus grown and changed over time, but I have too.

The buildings, like my friends, are different ages, ideas and races.

It is important to have kindred spirits in this journey of life because relationships with others help you become a better person and teach you some of life’s most important lessons. We do not grow in isolation. We flourish in community.

OSU has provided the space for me to find my urban family. I hope everyone reading this is encouraged to find people who love you at your worst and who challenge and support you. Your urban family is here. Those folks are present in the halls of the buildings and out on the Oval, waiting to be in your wedding.

A day after CNN’s Rick Sanchez called Jon Stewart a bigot and a bit “prejudicial” on a radio talk show — also questioning whether Jews should be considered a minority — the longtime television host got canned from the station.

He acted like a complete buffoon. In the interview, his basic premise was that Stewart makes fun of Sanchez because he is a Cuban and Stewart belongs to the East Coast media elite controlled by Jewish media.

Anyone who has seen Sanchez understands that the reason Stewart makes fun of him has nothing to do with the fact that he’s Cuban. Sanchez

CNN’s Sanchez was wrong, but not for voicing opinion

HANY RASHWAN rashwan.1@osu.edu produces an unbelievable amount of fodder for Stewart.

That wouldn’t change regardless of his age, gender or race.

This isn’t the first time an event like this has happened.

In July, senior reporter Octavia Nasr was fired for expressing an opinion on Twitter. A month before, respected news reporter Helen Thomas was forced to resign because of a remark.

Their comments might have been wrong, but it pains me when I turn on the television and see another journalist getting fired for expressing an opinion.

Most news organizations tell their reporters that anything they write on the Web should represent the network’s opinions.

That’s ridiculous.

I’d like to have more opinions in my news. I’d like to know what

anchors think politically and, if they’re willing to share it, I’d like to see their voting records, just like I do with my politicians.

If Rick Sanchez or Helen Thomas believes in an idea that might be racist, I’d like to know about it rather than have them shield their opinions to keep their jobs. If Octavia Nasr honestly admires something about a Hizbollah cleric, I’d like to know about that. Then I’d like to hear their explanations and views.

If we get to that point, then we can have those opinions out in the open for everyone to see.

Unrestrained, we will then be able to have the greatest debates and discussions ever.

Mike Nugent was not used to being home at this time of year. After becoming a beloved place kicker as a Buckeye and playing for four seasons with the New York Jets in the NFL, Nugent was in an unfamiliar place last season.

He was sitting at home on his couch in Columbus, watching NFL games on Sundays with his brother, Kevin.

“He’d kind of been the man since high school and college, so it was definitely a reality check,” Kevin said.

What a difference a year makes. Nugent is now the starting kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals and received the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month award for September.

“I was working with my coaches a lot, but we didn’t re-invent the wheel or anything,” Nugent said. “We made a few changes here and there, and I feel like I’ve been hitting the ball much more consistently.”

Although his recent success shouldn’t come as a surprise to any Ohio State follower, the inconsistencies and unemployment issues he suffered through a year ago certainly could have.

At OSU, Nugent was automatic. He holds the school record for field goal percentage for a career (82 percent) and a season (89 percent in

There are a lot of things that make you wonder in life. Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? Why do the Kardashians have their own television show?

But the “whyism” I often ask to no one in particular is why so often bad things happen to good people.

Like Tyler Moeller.

I saw Moeller play in high school a few times. He played for Colerain, a Cincinnati public school powerhouse that is routinely one of the top 25 high school programs in the country.

After helping lead the Cardinals to the 2004 Division I state title in his junior season, Moeller was named 2005 Ohio Division I Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. In his senior season for Colerain, Moeller recorded an impressive 123 tackles, 15.5 sacks and 29 tackles for loss on a defense stacked with Division I recruits.

Moeller seemingly always knew where the play was going before the snap. More often than not he was the first defender to reach the ball-carrier.

If you didn’t see Moeller make the tackle, you could hear the sound of his shoulder pads laying into the offensive player’s chest.

After redshirting and paying his dues on the special teams for his first three seasons in Columbus, Moeller was set to start at the star position (a hybrid linebacker/defensive back position) going into the 2009 season.

However, his life was turned upside-down on July 26, 2009.

Long story short: Moeller was with his family in Florida when Ralph Gray Decker knocked him unconscious, eventually causing Moeller to experience stroke-like symptoms and bleeding in his brain.

Doctors drilled dime-sized holes into his skull to allay the pressure and inserted a titanium plate. They told him to steer clear of physical activity.

Coach John Bluem has the No. 19 Ohio State men’s soccer team in the national picture largely because of his squad’s ability to defend and make opponents earn their scoring chances.

The Buckeyes have given up only seven goals in their first 10 games of 2010 and find themselves 6-2-2 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten. “We want to make sure that we’re disciplined,” Bluem said. “That’s the key to good defending is to be disciplined and drop back and fulfill your role and function in the team.”

Bluem’s defensive philosophy includes conceding space and being patient. The key is being able to capitalize on counter attacks. He said that being successful on defense requires teamwork more than individual performances.

“If people go … chasing the ball and defending the way they want to, it doesn’t work,” he said.

With a true freshman playing in goal for the Ohio State women’s soccer team (8-2-1, 2-0-0), an experienced defense and ‘no-shots’ approach has propelled the Buckeyes to the top of the Big Ten standings.

Goalkeeper Rachel Middleman ranks second in the Big Ten in goals against average, letting in only .33 percent of shots. Coach Lori Walker said it’s the play of the defense in front of Middleman that has helped make the transition to collegiate ball troublefree for the true freshman.

“They’ve got a strong no-shot mentality, and I think that helps make Rachel’s job a lot easier as a freshman,” Walker said. “I know that the saves that we’re going to ask her to make are going to either be simple saves or game-winning saves. There’s not going to be that kind of in-between thing where we really need to lean on her to be a difference-maker

With talks of a national title run swirling around this year’s Ohio State team since last January’s convincing Rose Bowl victory, the chances of the speculation coming to fruition were placed squarely on the shoulders of OSU junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

After Pryor came down hard on his left leg, following a run in the third quarter of last week’s contest at Illinois, this season’s aspirations were in limbo. Fortunately for the Buckeye faithful, coach Jim Tressel provided affirmation at his weekly luncheon that OSU’s star quarterback should be fine, after Pryor suffered what he said was best described as a thigh strain.

“I would expect every day he will get closer to 100 percent,” Tressel said. “I don’t know who is 100 percent after five games, that has as much wear and tear as a guy that has his hands on the ball, but I think he will be fine.”

And even with Pryor’s injury, Tressel said it won’t affect his game plan or his quarterback’s ability to make plays for the Buckeye offense.

“We always say that that position has to make big plays,” he said.

“Now, maybe some of those big plays won’t be done as much with the

Do Blue Jackets feel overshadowed by Ohio State football team?

Running game continues to be inconsistent feet, but we can still do them with the arm. So we’ll go in with the whole gamut like we always do.”

travis kozek Senior Lantern reporter kozek.2@osu.edu Ohio State football has become a fixture of central Ohio sports since 1890, when the team played its first game in Columbus.

Winning 36 conference titles and seven national titles since their inaugural season, the Buckeyes have led the way in putting Columbus on the map in the sports world.

Although the Buckeyes are the face of Columbus sports, the city is home to three professional franchises as well, including the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets.

Yet, entering their 10th season and lacking the steady success of OSU, with just one playoff appearance on their resume, the Jackets play second fiddle in Ohio’s capital city. But even with OSU’s prominence within the city, Blue Jackets’ right wing Jared Boll said he doesn’t feel like the Jackets play in the Bucks’ shadow.

“Obviously Ohio State football has been around forever and they’re No. 1, but you know it’s a different sport and we can’t really look at it like that,” Boll said. “We just have to worry about winning games and hopefully that will draw the fans.”

Many foreign-born players, such as Jackets’ defenseman Anton Stralman who is from Sweden, don’t even pay attention to OSU sports.

“I’m not too much into football or basketball so I don’t really care about Ohio State,” Stralman said. “I don’t really think about it that way. I think hockey fits into this town; it’s a sports town for sure.”

Despite averaging only around 85 percent home capacity at Nationwide Arena last season, compared with OSU annually ranking among the top in the nation in attendance, Stralman said that the bright future of the franchise will continue to attract Ohio sports enthusiasts to their games.

“As we’re getting better I think the crowds are going to pick up as well,” he said. “It is obviously important that we play good, attractive hockey. That’s what gets the fans here.”

And with the Buckeyes consistently proving themselves as a national football powerhouse, Boll said there is no reason the two can’t coexist and even support one another.

“The first couple years (with the Blue Jackets) I didn’t really follow them much, but once you live here you kind of grow to like them and you kind of have to like them living in Columbus,” he said. “I enjoy watching the football games, watching them win; they’re a great football team, and it’s always fun to cheer for a winning team.”

Moeller out for season, again After Tyler Moeller missed all of the 2009 season with a devastating head injury, OSU coaches, players and fans alike were finally able to get a glimpse of the ability of the senior defensive back this season.

Moeller, who is second on the team in both interceptions and sacks, was dealt another bad hand Saturday when he suffered a torn pectoral muscle early against Illinois, which will force him to miss the remainder of the year.

“It’s really sad for a guy to be able to put so much work into something and have it taken away twice in a row,” defensive tackle Dexter Larimore said. “It is kind of tough for everybody on the team, especially since he was a great player for us and did some great things.”

Despite being in his fifth year at OSU, Moeller will appeal for an NCAA hardship waiver in hopes of gaining a sixth year of eligibility.

Stepping in to fill the void left in the silver bullet defensive backfield will be freshman Christian Bryant, who Tressel believes has what it takes to get the job done.

“Christian might be more nervous this week that he’s out there saying, ‘Oh, look at all these balls are whistling by my ear’ and so forth,” he said. “But he’s a competitor and he’ll be fine and we’ll get ready.”

Struggles on the road Although many expected a decisive OSU victory at Illinois, Tressel attributed some of his team’s struggles to the constant

Tressel was pleased, however, with the progress of Dan “Boom” Herron on Saturday, who achieved his highest total of the year with 95-yards rushing at Illinois.

Special teams improving Special teams has been a constant topic of discussion since the unit’s uninspiring performance against Miami early in the year, but Tressel said he thought OSU made great strides in that area against Illinois.

“I thought that the fact that we at least fought toe-to-toe special teams gave us a chance to compete and see who could make more plays on offense or defense,” he said. “So I thought we made some progress there.”

The team’s Special Team’s Player of the Week and punter Ben Buchanan agreed with his coach’s assessment of the unit’s progress on the road and added they hope to continue the solid play.

“I think we took a big step last week versus the University of Illinois in some very adverse conditions,” Buchanan said. “So we’re excited to come out versus

rigors of playing in the Big Ten. “I think the other thing that’s important in a game like that is that it’s a real life reality of the difficulty of the Big Ten, and it’s going to be that way,” he said. “It won’t take the exact same form each week because everyone has different things that they do and so forth, but the intent of Big Ten foes’ interest in beating you is real, and I thought that our guys got a good taste of that and know we’ve got to get better if we want to contend.

“That was an old-fashioned Big Ten slugfest.”

Even though, going into the game, Illinois was considered a far inferior opponent by many, Tressel commended the team’s competitors and said it was just a tough game all around.

“We probably didn’t have as many winning performances and as many outstanding performances as perhaps we do in a decisive victory,” he said. “But that was a tough one, that was a battle, and I’m sure they had a few winning performances too, so it was that kind of game.”

both Michigan and Penn State at this point, which is what you want from your freshmen.”

The Buckeye defense is led by a trio of senior captains Cassie Dickerson, Lauren Beachy and Danielle Scoliere.

“Our defense is old and mature and we’ve played together for three years, so I just think we really know each other well,” Beachy said. “We have a ton of chemistry and stress a no-shot mentality. We just play together as hard as we can and we know what works for us.”

That no-shot mentality has put the Buckeyes at the top of most Big Ten statistical categories, including goals allowed where they rank second with six, and goals against per game average where they rank third with .53. Of the Buckeye’s 11 games, six of them have been shutouts, and only once have they given up more than one goal in a game.

“That’s the biggest thing that we can contribute to the game, our hard work and our tough defense,” Dickerson said. “If we can shut them down, that gives our forwards a much greater chance. Usually the margin in the Big Ten wins is by a goal each game. We’re not going to win 3-0 or 4-0, it’s always going to be 1-0 or 2-1, so if we do our job it gives us a great chance to win.”

“You have to work collectively together as a unit.

Everybody has to understand what each other’s responsibilities are and if you do that, you can cover the spaces effectively and cover the key players effectively.”

Senior midfielder Sam Scales said he has confidence in Bluem’s approach, even if it doesn’t produce the sexiest soccer to watch. When asked about what the team does in practice to be so stout defensively, his answer was simple.

“It’s just listening to our coaches,” he said. “They tell us to stay tight defensively. We know how the system works. We’ve all been playing it, and we’re all used to it.”

With the exception of last week’s wild 2-2 tie against No. 1 Akron, defense has played a major role in OSU’s unbeaten surge during the past four games.

quarter performance. “You could feel that Boom was getting a little; he was just getting a little momentum going and a little energy and electricity.”

Regardless of the inconsistent running back play at times, Tressel said he is happy with his team’s running attack.

“But we’re sitting there having the discussion and, hallelujah, we’re healthy there,” Tressel said of their depth running back.

“We’ve had a lot of questions in this room about why did (former Buckeye) Craig Krenzel get hit in the head so many times running the ball. Well, we’ve only got one other tailback and he had to run it. It’s a good discussion. It’s a good problem.”

Buckeyes and the second player in OSU women’s soccer history to be named to the Hermann Trophy watch list. The Hermann Trophy is awarded each season to the top male and female players in college soccer.

“It’s something that I carry on my shoulders and take pride in,” Dickerson said. “It’s an honor to be a captain, so it’s just something that just comes out of me naturally, and I think that when you have people who are willing to follow, it’s an easy role to do.”

Beachy said help from the team’s offense has been a welcome addition this season.

“Our offense is really clicking and that hasn’t always happened,” Beachy said. “As long as we keep those shutouts coming, I think that we always have a really good chance.”

Both of the OSU’s Big Ten wins this season have come in shutouts, including a 2-0 win over Michigan and 1-0 overtime win against Penn State. The Buckeyes know that they’ll need to keep up their strong defensive pace to succeed through the rest of the Big Ten schedule.

“Our defense knows that a mistake that they make could really cost us, and so while we don’t ask them to play perfect games, they do a great job of minimizing what those mistakes are that they make,” Walker said. “There’s a nice confidence and a nice aura about our backline, and so it’s just kind of contagious. So when they do make a mistake, they carry that weight and don’t just place it on one individual.”

The team tied No. 6 Louisville 0-0, beat Michigan 1-0 and defeated Michigan State 2-1. The Buckeyes are winless in games in which they give up two goals, but they have not given up more than two in any match in 2010.

“We just work on our positioning and formations and stuff,” sophomore midfielder Austin McAnena said. “We just got to keep our shape and keep track of runners. If we track runners and win our individual battles, we’ll win on the defensive side.”

Goalkeeper Matt Lampson has gotten off to a solid start and has played an important role in the Buckeyes’ defense. His 11-save performance at Michigan was key to OSU getting the win. Bluem keyed on Lampson’s importance to the defense and its effectiveness.

“Matt’s a great part of that,” Bluem said. “He manages his box very well. He’s a great shot stopper, has good size and strength. He distributes the ball well. He’s a key figure in our team. He was at his absolute best against Michigan.”

Nugent from 6A

Kickers typically aren’t selected until at least the fifth round. To his credit, Nugent wouldn’t allow himself to feel pressured by the early selection.

“I was really happy to be drafted by the Jets, it was a lot of fun playing there,” Nugent said. “As far as the pressure, I felt like the only pressure I should really experience was the pressure I put on myself.”

After three years in New York, Nugent suffered a torn quadriceps injury in the first game of his fourth season. The Jets brought in veteran kicker Jay Feely, who kept the starting job for the remainder of the year.

“I was in a contract year, and I had to make a decision whether or not I wanted to re-sign with Jets,” Nugent said. “It just got to a point where I thought maybe there were other opportunities out there to play for a different team.”

His first opportunity came as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009. In four games, Nugent made only two of his six attempts. He was then released by the Bucs.

“It was kind of a shock that he didn’t start out very well,” Kevin Nugent said. “He was hoping that they’d continue on with him, but we got another shock when he was released.”

Although it would have been easy to blame the quadriceps injury from the previous year for his inconsistencies, Nugent refused to do so.

“The injury felt fine,” Nugent said.

“I was missing some longer field goals and just wasn’t hitting the ball the way I wanted to.”

He signed on with the Arizona Cardinals in December 2009 as a temporary replacement for Cardinals starter Neil Rackers and was released when Rackers returned two weeks later.

This was the same guy who Buckeye teammates cheered as soon as his foot hit the ball because they assumed every kick was splitting the uprights. Yet here he was, unemployed, watching the games at home.

“That was tough, just sitting on Sundays and watching games,” Nugent said. “You want to be out

Kicker has made 10 of 11 kicks for Bengals in 2010

2002). His most accurate season coincided with the Buckeyes’ last National Championship win 2003.

“My favorite memory was the National Championship game because we were big underdogs,” Nugent said. “It’s great going into a game knowing that you have nothing to lose. And to come out on top, that was definitely my greatest memory at Ohio State.”

Nugent’s accuracy wasn’t the only trait that OSU fans loved about him.

He was also clutch when the game was on the line.

In fact, approaching any hardcore Buckeye fan and saying the words “55 yards against Marshall” will immediately conjure up images of a game-winning kick in 2004.

“For OSU fans it was unexpectedly close at 21-21, and he kicks a 55-yard field goal on the last play of the game to win the game,” said Jack Park, OSU football historian. “He was accurate, dependable, could kick from a long distance, and is a very likeable person.”

Kevin Nugent, a former OSU men’s soccer player, mentioned that kick as one of his favorites.

“As far as a single kick, the one that sticks out in my mind was the kick against Marshall in his senior year,” he said.

When Nugent’s OSU career ended, he entered the 2005 NFL Draft. The Jets desperately needed an accurate kicker.

Facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs that year, Jets incumbent Doug Brien missed two consecutive game-winning field goals. The Steelers went on to win the game in overtime, and the Jets were out of the playoffs.

Hoping to avoid having similar issues the following season, the Jets selected Nugent in the second round of the draft (47th overall). It was the highest position of any kicker selected in the last decade, save for Sebastian Janikowski, who was a first-round pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2000.

Moeller from 6A

Buckeye applying for sixth year of eligibility After making a full recovery, Moeller trained hard in the offseason and was back in the swing of things this past spring, eager to prove himself to everyone.

“It’s hard to put into words,” he told ESPN. com last April. “I just want to forget everything that happened in the past and play next year and show people what I can do — show people what I could have done a year ago. Just get everything behind me.”

Moeller’s teammates love him. His hustle and passion for the game are contagious. Even the stoic Jim Tressel can’t get enough of Moeller.

“Every time I see [Moeller] out there, you know, I smile,” Tressel said in September.

As a starter at the “star position” this season, Moeller was arguably OSU’s best defender in the first four games of the season, with 20 tackles, including 4.5 for a loss, one sack, two forced fumbles and an interception to his credit. He was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after the season opener against Marshall.

Last Saturday against Illinois, Moeller’s incomprehensible bad luck took a turn for the worse again. He suffered a torn pectoral muscle on OSU’s first defensive possession, an injury that will end his 2010 season.

“You just feel sick for him because you saw the pain he was in last year not being able to help his teammates and now he was having fun,” Tressel said. “It’s very disappointing.”

OSU’s Energizer Bunny might not see another snap in his college career.

Why? Before the season, Moeller, a fifth-year senior, was planning on applying for a sixth year of eligibility to the NCAA. Tressel said OSU will indeed apply for Moeller to gain another year.

Here’s to hoping the NCAA smiles upon Moeller’s hardship and grants him one last hurrah as a Buckeye. If anyone deserves a third chance to spite Lady Luck, it’s the man who’s already experienced a life’s worth of trauma.

mike nugent made 24 of his 27 field goal attempts as a senior at ohio state. there, having people watch you instead of you watching them.

“It’s one of those things where you’re watching and keeping an eye out on what’s going on, who’s kicking well and who’s not,” he said. “You never wish for others to miss, but it’s tough to cheer for people when they’re all in the same position you want to be in.”

Kevin agreed that it was a tough time for his brother.

“He’s always worked hard and he’s usually done pretty well, so it was hard,” Kevin said. “You’re kind of just sitting back and hoping for a team to call.”

There are only 32 teams in the NFL, so there aren’t many kicking positions to fill. Still, NFL coaches are notorious for losing faith in their starting kickers.

“I think I was flown to six or seven different places for a workout,” Nugent said.

With the 2010 NFL season fast approaching, the Bengals brought in Nugent to compete with Dave Rayner for the starting job. Nugent won the job in camp and hasn’t looked back.

He’s made 10 out of 11 attempts this season. His only miss of the year was a blocked kick in last Sunday’s contest against the Cleveland Browns.

If Nugent is able to finish this season in a similar fashion to the way he’s started it, he won’t have to worry about waiting for a phone call in the offseason.

The animated series “Ugly Americans” has its season premiere on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. tonight.

The comedic cartoon appropriately takes place in multicultural New York City.

The plot follows Mark Lilly, a social worker at the Department of Integration, as he assists and accommodates new citizens to the chaos of city life.

It should, however, be duly noted that the word citizen does not necessarily imply being human. In this NYC Department of Integration, beasts, freaks and fairies can obtain citizenship.

A twist of dry humor and morbid mockery is supposed wisecracks.

“The show is edgy and dry. We’re never going for the big whammy laughs. It’s a little more subtle,” said Natasha Leggero, the voice of Callie Maggotbone, in a phone interview.

A refined flare is added to the animation because the actors relate so closely with their characters.

Matt Oberg, the voice of Mark Lilly, sees a fair amount of similarities between himself and Mark and it’s not just because they both wear navy blue trousers with blue shirts.

“I’m square just the way Mark is. He is more kind, though,” Oberg said. “I strive to be like Mark every day, but my friends are not as cool as his.”

Callie makes a bigger statement than just having large breasts, Leggero said.

Muggles can’t replicate magic leah wynalek Copy chief wynalek.2@osu.edu

There I was, standing underneath the archway to Hogsmeade, the Hogwarts Express stationary on my right.

But I didn’t travel to the wizarding marketplace by train or floo powder or any other magical mea ns; I trekked through packs of tourists at Universal’s Islands of Adventure to get there — the first of many reminders that I was a muggle, a person without magic.

Like many other 20-somethings who grew up reading the Harry Potter series, I had construct ed my own version of the wizarding world in my head . That world was intangible, yet perfect. There, Mad-Eye Moody’s replacement eye whirred with a life of its own, unlike the plastic strap-on eye that he wears in the Harry Potter movies.

Symphony names new music director Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu The Columbus Symphony Orchestra introduced Jean-Marie Zeitouni as its new musical director Tuesday morning.

The decision came after more than two years without an official conductor for the symphony.

“In my year with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, there have been exhilarating moments and some not-so-exhilarating moments,” said Roland Valliere, the president of the CSO. “This is an exhilarating moment.”

Zeitouni, a Canadian from Montreal, formerly led the Quebec City chamber orchestra, Les Violons du Roy, for more than 100 performances. He has also guest conducted several American symphonies, including three performances with the CSO. At an induction ceremony Tuesday morning, Zeitouni emerged on stage after an introductory video presentation. He recalled his initial interest in the CSO after his first appearance as a guest conductor.

“When you guest conduct an orchestra … you are dating. You check them out, they check you out,” he said. “Like at the end of a good date, you go home and call your friend. I called my manager and said, ‘I think I’d like to see her again.’”

Zeitouni said he had a high level of respect for the CSO’s handling of its recent financial troubles.

“I have to express my admiration for the CSO for the tremendous sacrifices they have made,while maintaining a high artistic standard,” he said during the conference at the Southern Theatre.

The respect was mutual.

CSO representatives had nothing but praise for the new director. Valliere, who had been involved with five other searches for music directors with other symphonies, called this the most successful search he had been involved in.

He said Zeitouni was “a unique and really a perfect fit for the symphony at this time.”

CSO board chairman Martin Inglis said despite the length of the process, he was pleased with the outcome.

“The search took longer than I liked, but the result was perfect,” he said.

Zeitouni is only the seventh musical director in

the CSO’s 60-year history. In his introductory video, he said he plans to build on that history.

“I know that the symphony has a heritage and a personality already,” he said. “I look forward to expanding that.”

The symphony thinks Zeitouni will elevate the level of the orchestra along with his own name.

Valliere quoted trustee Fred Isaac: “Today he is a star; tomorrow he will be a superstar.”

Zeitouni will make his debut as music director Saturday conducting Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” at the Ohio Theatre. He said he hopes to increase attendance at CSO performances as well. He quoted fellow conductor Benjamin Zander to qualify his point.

“Everyone loves classical music,” he said. “They just don’t know it yet.”

Zeitouni said, aside from just working with the symphony, he looks forward to living in Columbus.

“I’m a big hockey fan and there is a hockey team here,” he said to the chuckling crowd. He followed with a salute to Ohio State. “I hear there is a famous football team too.”

Book Club suggests… “The Reversal”

by Michael Connelly

A convicted killer is coming back to town.

Jason Jessup was sent to prison 24 years ago after a little girl disappeared from the front yard of her family home and was found brutally murdered. But after new DNA evidence is discovered, Jessup is free to return home.

Attorney Mick Haller is not convinced that Jessup is innocent and works with LAPD Detective Harry Bosch to put the killer back where he belongs. The two fear for the safety of their community, as they are sure Jessup has another murder in his plans.

“The Reversal,” written by Michael Connelly, follows Haller and Bosch on their quest to put Jessup back in prison. With Jessup out on bail, the two face a difficult task that will ultimately threaten their safety.

the cast of ‘yo gabba gabba’ take the stage during a live performance.

Kids show the new hip thing MalloRy tReleaVen Lantern reporter treleaven.4@osu.edu “Yo Gabba Gabba!” might seem like a children’s program, but the show has gotten the attention of toddlers and college students alike.

The Nick Jr. show uses games, music and dancing to entertain and educate young children.

The show is hosted by a character named DJ Lance Rock, who is accompanied by Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex, bright cartoon-like characters.

“Yo Gabba Gabba!” was created by Christian Jacobs, the lead singer of The Aquabats, and Scott Schultz.

“Most viewers are young children and families but there are a lot of high school and college-age fans,” Jacobs said.

The show brings in a lot of celebrity guests and popular bands. Some of the guests who have appeared on the show are: rapper Biz Markie, comedian Andy Samberg, hip-hop band The Roots, rapper Sean Kingston and indie-pop duo The Ting Tings.

“The young kids don’t really care about who the band is, they’ll have fun either way,” Jacobs said.

“But if there is a popular band or celebrity guest, it definitely draws in an older crowd.”

“Yo Gabba Gabba!” also performs live on tour.

Christian describes this concert experience as being similar to a Flaming Lips show, but for kids.

Jacobs said the live show is interactive, and the audience is always up and moving around.

“It’s like one big birthday party,” Jacobs said.

“And I know college kids like to have a good time so they can relate.”

Senior Ohio State student Danny Lemmon said he thinks the show is great. He even has thrown “Yo Gabba Gabba!”-themed parties.

“Costumes are optional, but we record a bunch of episodes and have them playing in the background,” Lemmon said. “Every time there was an awkward dancing scene, everyone would drink.”

Lemmon said he supports the show and thinks it is written and directed by people who should be influencing kids.

“The show is like a giant overload for 3-year-olds, but it’s a lot of fun,” Jacobs said. “It’s stuff you can really dance to.”

Jacobs said that he believes it is the diverse crowd that Yo Gabba Gabba! draws in that makes the show special.

“Especially with the live shows you can watch college kids and hip parents and then straight-laced conservative families all dancing together,” Jacobs said. “Seeing that makes me proud to be a part of this.”

“Callie is impatient; she has a terrible temper, but she’s relatable,” she said. “Callie is a reflection of women’s new place in the world.”

It’s still undetermined if the writers and producers had underlying puns for the recent controversial immigration laws, but the actors say that wasn’t the initial intention.

“Cartoons in general are good opportunities to comment on society. We are able to say something bigger through comedy, and it diffuses things since it takes place in a make-believe world,” Leggero said.

Even if the show doesn’t have intentional messages about U.S. immigration legislation, the actors say it depicts two sides of America. The good and of course, the bad.

“There are some disgusting things in America and some great things about America. Bristol Palin on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is disgusting,” Leggero said.

One thing the comedians knew for certain is that NYC was chosen to host such a diverse cast.

“New York seemed like the means to get a different group of people together. It’s an interesting and funny setting for all of these people,” Oberg said.

In an era where television programs are becoming increasingly animated, the actors say “Ugly Americans” offers a different kind of “make-believe.”

“It has the right mix of being funny and being smart,” Oberg said. “We’re going for the cheap laughs.”

The actors announced one perverse secret that viewers might be surprised to see this season.

“The episodes are a little dirty,” Oberg said. “I haven’t seen this type of dirtiness before. It’s more of a creative dirty than a dirty-dirty.”

‘Potter freak’

not thrilled with theme park

Joe Podelco / Lantern photographer

tourists walk through ollivanders wand shop.

Potter, I tried to go in without any grand illusions of what the magical world would look like.

At a glance, Universal’s Harry Potter world looks just as it should.

Old-looking, snow-capped buildings line the cobblestone streets of Hogsmeade, which includes some misplaced stores from Diagon Alley, such as Ollivanders Wand Shop. The storefront windows are full of props, including moving Gilderoy Lockhart books and screeching mandrakes.

Moaning Myrtle’s voice echoes outside of the women’s restroom near The Three Broomsticks. It looks like a perfect movie set, something that

Universal Studios has a knack for recreating.

But when I started to walk around, I realized that it wasn’t much more than a movie set.

Most of the storefronts are just for show, and those that are actual stores were jam-packed with people buying chocolate frogs and remembralls, which are much less exciting when they can’t actually light up if their holder has forgotten something.

The wait was 45 minutes just to get into Dervish and Banges, a store that sells broomsticks, sneakoscopes and replicas of the Monster Book of Monsters; my tour guide said in the summer the wait nears three hours.

The Owl Post’s window displays stuffed animal owls that I could find at any children’s store. And the labyrinth of Gringotts Wizarding Bank is reduced to a single ATM — Griphook

and the other goblins would feel insulted.

I was disappointed, but understood. Magic isn’t real, so trying to make it so is underwhelming. I just wish I actually felt immersed in the wizarding world, not just like a muggle buying non-magical souvenirs and watching as others bought sticks that posed as wands. I even wish I hadn’t tried the butterbeer, which tasted much better in my head than in real life. It tastes like liquid butterscotch, a bit too sweet for me to stomach, but a friend assured me that the frozen butterbeer was worth a taste.

Where the park succeeds is in its thrill rides, particularly Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which is located inside Hogwarts Castle. The ride uses an HD screen the entire time to make the riders actually feel like they’re flying. It’s thrilling, and a bit

Right where you belong

dizzying, all the way through. The wait for the ride queues through the castle, which features talking portraits and a look into Dumbledore’s headmaster’s office. This is also the only place to get a glimpse of Harry, Hermione and Ron, in a video recording before you get on the ride. If you’re looking for character pictures (like those you might get with Donald Duck at Disney World), you won’t get them at Harry Potter world, where you won’t run into any characters or magical creatures on the streets — just vacationers and workers in funny hats.

There are only two other rides in the Harry Potter portion of Islands of Adventure: Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff. The latter is a tame “family” coaster that won’t scare the kids or thrill anyone over the age of 12, but Dragon Challenge is a big-kid ride, where two dragon coasters (a Chinese Fireball and a Hungarian Horntail, for those who speak Harry Potter) race each other for the TriWizard Tournament. Some will recognize it as the Dueling Dragons coaster, which was already at the park but re-themed for Harry Potter.

As a self-proclaimed Harry Potter freak, I was disappointed with my experience — and my trip was not only completely paid for

by Universal, but also equipped me with a VIP pass onto all of the rides. It was fun, but I couldn’t help wondering the entire time if Disney could have done it better, partly because it has more property to build on and partly because I believe Disney World is actually the happiest place on the earth.

My advice to Harry Potter lovers: Visit the theme park if you have the money to spare (it’s $82 for one-day access to one Universal park), but for the real wizarding world experience, just re-read the books and imagine it yourself.

Not enough?

arts&life lantern cd Reviews

Mars is out of this world Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Bruno Mars has already made himself into a household name thanks to singing the hooks for hit singles by other artists: “Nothin’ On You” by B.o.B and “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy. The question is whether he can make an album for himself.

Mars’ debut, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” answers the question positively.

His first single, “Just the Way You Are,” uses the same soft falsetto and attitude that made Mars a heartthrob earlier this year in “Nothin’ on You.” The single itself is catchy and enjoyable but what is truly impressive is Mars’ ability to craft a single about a woman without sexually degrading her (e.g. Lil Jon, another artist who got big singing hooks for others). The track has sincerity, a quality lacking in pop music.

One of the few mistakes on the album is placing “Just the Way You Are” as the second track. Album-opener “Grenade” works great as a ballad but is a downer at the beginning of a generally upbeat album.

Also impressive is Mars’ ability to shift between different forms of popular music. Simple singing and strumming is his obvious forte but he feels just as at home while tackling other styles.

“doo-wops & hooligans” Bruno Mars

“Our First Time” is perfect in its smooth imitation of R&B, “Runaway Baby” hails back to classic rock ‘n’ roll and “The Lazy Song” features a reggae-style “skank” guitar riff. Reggae star Damian Marley also makes an appearance on “Liquor Store Blues.”

Some of the songs toward the end of the album slip into mediocrity, Mars’ songwriting style keeps most of the tracks fun. He has some crass moments during “Lazy Song,” but it comes across less awkwardly thanks to his “we’re all friends here” approach.

Mars lived up to the expectations set by his work with other artists. Now he can enjoy some popularity by his own accord.

Keith shooting blanks Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Toby Keith is the second country star in as many weeks to release his 14th album (Kenny Chesney released his album “Hemingway’s Whiskey” last week). Which figurehead’s new record is best? Chesney stuck firmly to his kick-backand-relax persona with so-so results. Based on the title of Keith’s album, “Bullets in The Gun,” he is also sticking to his guns.

Country music is a genre that has done well for itself by sticking to stereotypes. Keith, perhaps more than any other country artist, fully embraces the expected norms.

It’s evident in the first single off of the new album, “Trailerhood,” that the trend will continue. The song revolves around every stereotype associated with life within a trailer park: inflatable pools, tornadoes and many, many references to beer. If the song was meant by Keith to be a tribute to blue-collar America, it doesn’t work.

The song comes across as a mockumentary on the subject, especially while watching overweight typecasts of trailer residents waddle around the music video.

Keith isn’t always

“Bullets in the gun” toby keith

disappointing when he plays off the traditional country themes. Tracks like “As Good as I Once Was” and “Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue” might rub the listener the wrong way, but at least Keith is following his gut.

Tracks like “Trailerhood” and “Ain’t Breakin’ Nothin’” don’t sound genuine. They sound contrived.

“Somewhere Else” follows the same style as “As Good As I Once Was,” but it doesn’t match up as an enjoyable listen. The title track is a cowboy fantasy, but not an engaging one.

Chesney might not have broken any new ground on his most new album but Keith simply stagnates. One would think that he would be able to summon up some Republican anthems to counter President Barack Obama’s influence.

Whatever the inspiration, anything with feeling would help this album out.

Healy keeps calm in debut Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Scottish rocker Francis “Fran” Healy does pretty well for himself on his first solo album, “Wreckorder.” The album title might suggest mayhem, but the debut keeps the volume low.

Healy, best known as the vocalist for the Glasgow-based alternative rock band Travis, opts to take a more relaxed approach than his other band. Despite staying on the quiet side of the spectrum, the album is hardly boring.

“Sing Me To Sleep” does anything but, as Healy gets help from Neko Case in pushing the song along. The song “Rocking Chair” provides an intelligent look at aging as Healy, 37, reminisces about his memories of Richard Nixon and Fred Astaire. Healy commented that the image of him with his salt-and-pepper beard on the album art played into the theme of aging. “Fly in the Ointment” is among the fastest of the songs but still doesn’t move more quickly than a lively amble.

The first single, “Buttercups,” which Healy has said is about an art school girlfriend turning her nose up to handpicked flowers, keeps the tone simple and message clear. These features are present in every song and keep them relatable to the

“wreckorder” Fran healy

audience. Then again, the mild tone prevents any one song from becoming overly recognizable.

“Buttercups” is best enjoyed while watching the music video.

In it, Healy runs into a collection of women from his past, all with minor romantic relevance to his life. Although the story doesn’t have a happy ending, it’s adorable enough to put a smile on any cynic’s face.

Healy’s decision to take things in a more mellow direction was a good call. Travis is not a very egotistical band to begin with, but Healy’s humble approach makes the album an easy listen.
