4A Obama: ‘Don’t boo, vote’ to Oval crowd
For OSU men’s cross-country runners, their sport of choice is ‘just racing.’

Ohio State’s Oval was barricaded by metal fences Tuesday that caged in bleachers, a banner reading “Vote Early,” and in the center, a lectern that sat waiting for President Barack Obama. Obama returned to Central Ohio for a grassroots campaign rally Tuesday, the last day to register to vote in Ohio. His speech began at about 5:10 p.m., and he spoke for about 20 minutes.
[ a+e ]
In his remarks, Obama focused on the importance of education, calling it the “gateway of opportunity.” “I believe that we should have the best education system in the world, bar none,” Obama said. “I got a great education because that’s what this country does.” Obama said he has a plan for education reform. “(I want to) recruit 100,000 new math and science teachers, focus on early childhood education, provide job training for 2 million workers at our community colleges, (and) cut the growth of tuition costs in half so that you guys are not loaded up with debt when you graduate,” Obama said.
Special guest will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas took the stage at about 4:30, DJing for the estimated crowd of 15,000, which he referred to as “Buckeye Peas.” He performed for about a half-hour and talked about the importance of education during a version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The USA.” The estimated 15,000 attendees surpassed the 14,000-person crowd at the Schottenstein Center in May when Obama kicked off his re-election campaign. Throughout his speech, when Obama mentioned Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, he was

OSU band video goes viral john wernecke Asst. multimedia editor wernecke.5@osu.edu The video of Ohio State Marching band’s halftime show during the Nebraska game Saturday has more than 4.3 million hits, but only 72 hours after its on-field tribute to video games went viral, the band is back at its weekly routine. Jon Waters, OSUMB interim director, attributed the video’s internet fame to the marching band’s desire to always put on a good show. “Our goal is to create an entertaining show for the audience every time out. This just happened to be a night game with the students all pumped up for it and people were really excited about the game
itself,” Waters said. “We happened to be winning the game, which always helps.” The video has gained more than a million views per day since its original posting Sunday, but Waters said the band still has several shows he expects will wow the crowd on the docket this season. In the performance, the band took on the shape and played the soundtrack of notable titles from video game history including “Space Invaders,” “PacMan,” “Pokemon” and “Halo.” The band also brought to life Epona, from “Legend of Zelda” in the form of a giant horse that galloped across the Ohio Stadium field. This was a highlight for some, including the video’s uploader, YouTube user “handmrow gobucks,” who warned viewers not to miss the running horse at the six minute mark.

Walking up to the Oval Tuesday to open for President Barack Obama’s speech, will.i.am had numbers on his mind. Asking his escorts how many people were on the lawn already and how many students attend Ohio State, one of the escorts let him know she was an OSU alumna. As though a light bulb went off in his head, the frontman of Black Eyed Peas said to himself, “Buckeye Peas,” then laughed at the name. Taking to his turntables at about 4:30 p.m., the rapper greeted the crowd with “Wassup Buckeyes!” Before launching into his nearly half-hour set. “Right now, I wish the rest of my group was here, but it’s OK because I’m here with the Buckeye Peas,” will.i.am said to the crowd. In an exclusive interview with The Lantern before
You can’t force every musician to get involved, so I’m involved, not as a musician, but as an American citizen. will.i.am rapper of the Black Eyed Peas performed before Obama on the Oval Tuesday his opening performance, the rapper made it seem opening for Obama is one of the highest honors of his career. “It means so much to be considered by the United States president,” will.iam said. “It just makes me proud, speechless really.” Some members of the audience weren’t so psyched for will.i.am’s performance though.

Ohio State’s Newark campus reopened at about 5 p.m. Tuesday after a morning bomb threat shut it down. An alert on the university’s website asked all students, faculty and staff to evacuate the campus in a “calm and orderly manner.” Newark Police did not respond for comment Tuesday evening, but according to an email sent at about 3 p.m. from the Newark campus emergency broadcast system, the campus was scheduled to reopen at 5:30 p.m. for “normal business and classes.” At 9:22 a.m., OSU’s emergency management Twitter account, @OSU_EMFP, tweeted that the Newark campus would be closed until further notice. Officials at the Newark campus released a statement saying the campus would be closed as the Newark Police and Fire Departments were investigating the bomb threat Tuesday afternoon. OSU Police did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s request for comments. Brittany Lloyd, a first-year student at the OSU-Newark campus, said she was frightened when she first heard of the threat. “I was in Warner Library just doing some math,” Lloyd said in an email. “It was around 10:30 when a lady came running upstairs yelling, ‘There’s a bomb threat, you guys need to evacuate now.’” Some students at OSU’s Columbus campus were upset they did not receive an email notifying them of the threat. “We should have been notified here because we’re all OSU students and any threat to an OSU community is a concern to us,” said Tyler Bonta, a second-year in criminal psychology at OSU’s Columbus campus. Johvonty Stewart, a second-year in journalism, agreed and said President Barack Obama’s Tuesday visit to OSU’s Columbus campus made the matter a little more concerning. “I think we should of all gotten informed even if we don’t go there,” Stewart said. “I think it’s fairly significant that Obama is coming the same day there’s a bomb threat.” Alex Zoll, a first-year in electrical engineering, said officials didn’t evacuate the residence halls, but only the “main buildings” on campus. Zoll said his professors were understanding of the situation and didn’t assign any extra work to make up for missed class. “I had one exam today and my other class he sent an email out … he’s kind of a funny guy, he sent an email out saying he hoped we all survived,” Zoll said.

While OSU students waited for the president’s arrival on the Oval Oct. 9, President Barack Obama was elsewhere preparing for his 5th campus visit in 2 years.
Some students annoyed by canceled class, Obama visit anna duee and becca Marrie Lantern reporters duee.1@osu.edu and marrie.6@osu.edu “I don’t care about the president, I don’t like the president, I don’t want to see him.� That’s what second-year in philosophy Emily Wenerstrom said about President Barack Obama’s Tuesday visit to Ohio State’s campus. Some students like Wenerstrom had their classes canceled due to the event, and weren’t happy about it. “I come here and pay money to go to class, so I am angry that my class was canceled for an event that I don’t pay money for,� she said. Wenerstrom said it was her favorite class that got canceled. Obama arrived on the Oval Tuesday at about 5:10 p.m. and spoke to a crowd of 15,000 for roughly 20 minutes about voter registration, the economy and the importance of education. Wenerstrom said professors probably canceled
class because they assumed many students would skip anyway. “You can’t teach a class with like five people,� she said. Some students argued that the location of the campaign rally could have been farther away from students’ classrooms. “I think the Oval is not a very good location for this,� said Kate Lucas, a third-year in linguistics. “We have the Horseshoe, why can’t they do it there? Or the Schottenstein Center would be a lot more convenient.� However, some other students said they simply weren’t interested in listening to the Commander-in-chief. “I really just didn’t care,� said Mike Tischler, a fourth-year in strategic communication and psychology. Tischler said that he has never gone to see Obama during any of his five visits to campus in the past two years. Although some professors canceled classes for the event, other students did not have the free time to go. They had a difficult decision to make: go to class or see the president.
But Kelli Stevens, a second-year in health sciences and Spanish, would have stayed away from the Oval, even if she didn’t have class. “I’m honestly not a huge fan of either one of the candidates,� Stevens said. With the presidential visit coinciding with the last day for voter registration, some students said the visit highlights the significance of Ohio in the upcoming election. “We’re a pretty gigantic campus, major swing state that switches candidates every election,� said Mitch Cahill, a first-year in international studies. However, Cahill said he didn’t go see the president because he doesn’t relate to him. “I see the president more as a figurehead and it’s hard for me to humanize him,� Cahill said. “So that’s why I chose to not skip class to go see him.� Obama held his re-election campaign kickoff event at the Schottenstein Center on May 5. Obama last visited Central Ohio less than a month ago, for a campaign stop at Schiller Park in German Village Sept. 17. Republican presidential
nominee Mitt Romney was last in Columbus Sept. 26, when he visited Westerville South High School. Romney held a rally Tuesday in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, just outside of Akron, and is scheduled to visit Lancaster, Ohio, about 40 minutes from Columbus, on Friday. Centre College in Danville, Ky., will be hosting a vice presidential debate at 8 p.m. Thursday between Vice President Joe Biden and Romney’s running mate Paul Ryan. Romney has not yet visited OSU, but his son Craig Romney was on campus Saturday. Tuesday’s visit to the Oval was Obama’s fifth to OSU in two years. Results of a Tuesday seven-day rolling Gallup poll of registered voters have Obama in the lead with 49 percent, and Romney trailing at 46 percent with less than a month until the Nov. 6 presidential election.

Obama from 1A met with boos from the crowd. Obama, though, told the crowd not to boo, but to vote. “If you buy into the cynicism that says change isn’t possible,” Obama said, “if you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference, then other voices fill the void.” Obama also said he would not raise taxes for the middle class or cut taxes for millionaires as he said Romney would, emphasizing how this would also impact students. “I refuse to ask middle-class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids just to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut. I refuse to pay for that tax cut by asking you, students, to pay more for college,” Obama said. Some classes scheduled to be held during the rally were canceled, while other professors kept their classes as scheduled. Niraj Antani, communications director of the OSU College Republicans, said he thinks canceled classes and rescheduled midterms for a partisan event are “frankly unacceptable.” “Students who don’t necessarily agree with what he’s saying and have their classes canceled deserve to be compensated,” Antani said. Mallory Kimble, president of the OSU College Democrats, said students could view the rally as a learning experience. “Either way you look at it, it’s part of the learning experience to come see the president of the United States talk,” Kimble said. First-year in nursing Nikki Behm said she didn’t mind missing class to attend the rally. “I had a midterm review, but I still didn’t think it was a big deal,” Behm said. Other students agreed Obama’s visit was a chance they couldn’t pass up. “I support Obama,” said Julia Konieczny, a secondyear in political science and communication. “He’s here, you can’t let these opportunities go by. That why you go to OSU, for stuff like this.” Konieczny said she was in line before noon. “When Obama was in Wisconsin, there were 30,000 people
Band from 1A Each new formation goaded fresh cheers from the record-breaking Ohio Stadium crowd of 106,102 that gave a standing ovation at the end of the nine-minute performance. A handful of band members sat around OSUMB’s second floor office inside Ohio Stadium Tuesday afternoon. They chatted about their performance and admitted they couldn’t help themselves from checking the view count on the YouTube video of Saturday’s performance. “I’m sitting in class on my phone just looking at all the updates like ‘What news website are we on now? What front page have we hit?’ It’s amazing.” said Emily Bochenek, a third-year in special education, who plays the Sousaphone in the OSU band. The video has been on yahoo.com, Deadspin and the front page of Reddit. “After four years of being in (the) band, the attention the show got was probably the most I’ve ever seen a show get,” said Andrew Boring, a sixth-year in history. “It’s made it everywhere.” Waters said music director John Brennan has had the idea for a video game halftime show for more than five years. Chris Hoch, interim assistant director and writer of the drill, said the musical accompaniment to the performance was particularly challenging, but that the students learned it without adding extra practice time to their regular routine.
on the lawn. I didn’t want to be one of the ones in the back.” Not everyone who attended the rally backed the president, but some non-supporters still supported his message of the importance of voting. Maggie Wollen from Gahanna, Ohio, campaigned against abortion at the event and carried a large poster with a image of a 10-week-old aborted fetus. “Obviously, I don’t support Obama, but I like the fact that these people I know are going to go vote,” Wollen said. “It’s nice to see that they’re passionate about this election. Hopefully our side, the Republican side, will be just as passionate.” Obama last visited Central Ohio less than a month ago for a campaign stop at Schiller Park in German Village Sept. 17. Romney was last in Columbus Sept. 26, when he visited Westerville South High School in Westerville, Ohio just about 20 minutes north of Columbus. Romney held a rally Tuesday in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, just outside of Akron, and is scheduled to visit Lancaster, Ohio, about 40 minutes from Columbus, on Friday. Centre College in Danville, Ky., will be hosting a vice presidential debate at 8 p.m. Thursday between Vice President Joe Biden and Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan. Romney has not yet visited OSU, but his son Craig Romney was on campus Saturday. Tuesday’s visit to the Oval was Obama’s fifth to OSU in two years. Results of a Tuesday seven-day rolling Gallup poll have Obama in the lead among registered voters with 49 percent, and Romney trailing at 46 percent with less than a month until the Nov. 6 presidential election. Obama’s remarks were preceded by short speeches from Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, former Ohio Sen. John Glenn and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown. Following the rally, charter busses were available to transport people, accompanied by will.i.am, to and from an early voting location. “I need you fired up. I need you ready to go to vote. Because we’ve got some work to do,” Obama said. Becca Marrie and Ben Keith contributed to this story. Hoch gave the talented but still amateur students “kudos” for making the performance look easy when it counted. “None of our students are on scholarship,” Waters said. “They don’t get maybe some of the perks that the football team does and that is just the nature of what we do. And it’s nice to get recognition for hard work.” Hoch said he and the staff haven’t been tracking the views, but the students have been keeping them updated. “We haven’t actually looked too much,” he said. “We get reports from the kids.” A nine-minute viral video could be considered uncommon by some. YouTube videos that spread at this rate are typically quick bites, easy to enjoy and share quickly. Waters said he is happy to help the marching band receive more exposure. “I feel a little bit of responsibility for all us bandies,” he said. “We are kind of representing the band world right now and that is great.” Back in the OSUMB office, sounds of Saturday’s video game medley mixed with the low rumble of a sousaphone player warming up Tuesday evening. The members are getting back to work. Waters and Hoch hinted at a spoof of the “End of the World” theme for the next performance Oct. 20 and mentioned the possibility of poking more fun at “our colleagues up north.” The Buckeyes have three more home games, including contests against Purdue, Illinois and Michigan.

“Why I’m here is that Obama’s here,” said Tim Day, a disabled United States Air Force Veteran from Cincinnati, who was a USAF plumber in Vietnam. “I’ve been waiting too long on William or whatever his name is. It’s not my kind of music. I’m here to hear Obama speak.” Will.i.am said getting flak from others about his participation in Obama’s campaign doesn’t bother him because he’s not involving himself as a musician, but as an American citizen. “I’ve been blessed to have been successful in music to where I can use my platform to encourage people to get involved and raise awareness,” he said, and mentioned raising awareness of the gap between funding for prisons and the lack of funding for education. “I want to shine a light on that and echo that across the world.” Will.i.am also said he’s involved because he backs Obama’s “Yes We Can” concept and his support for Federal Pell Grants. “I stand behind the president as it relates to Pell grants, so kids can go to school regardless of if their families can afford it,” he said. “I stand behind the president as it relates to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) to get every kid equipped with the STEM skill set, so they can compete in the future.”
He also said being active in Obama’s campaign has further encouraged him to hone his mortgage relief program, which he said “rescues a family or two a year from losing their homes because there’s no jobs in America” and continue advancing his i.am.angel program, which relieves students of college debt. Will.i.am put an emphasis on education in his opening performance as well. Stopping mid performance of his cover of “Born in the USA,” he said to the crowd, “You don’t want education in the U.S.? I think the whole crowd should be screaming right now.” Then, assumingly poking fun at a comment Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made about cutting funding to PBS during last week’s televised presidential debate, he went on to play the Sesame Street theme song, which he said was the theme song of his childhood. In addition to performing a few Black Eyed Peas songs, such as “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Got a Feeling,” will.i.am also spun to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and Usher’s “OMG,” to name a few. Spinning to Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” will.i.am rapped in honor of Obama’s campaign, “Make a change y’all / Keep moving
forward make change” and got the crowd chanting “Four more years.” Ending his set with Black Eyed Peas’ “I Got a Feeling,” will.i.am said to the audience, “Push forward four more years. Fight for STEM. Fight for education.” The performance seemed to bring some relief to a few attendees before the president’s speech. “It was good because I think people were sick of waiting, and that kind of got people excited again,” said Ashley Tabler, a student at Otterbein University. Brock Hovanick, a first-year in engineering, said will.i.am’s performance didn’t seem like much of a concert though because he DJed his entire performance. But he said it kept him entertained. “It was pretty good. (It) was better than what I thought it would be,” Hovanick said. “There was a pretty good amount of people there, so I couldn’t really see very well. Other than that, it was good.” In playing to college students and traveling alongside Obama, who was making his fifth visit to OSU in the past two years, will.i.am said the youth vote is important to him as well. “America would be a little better if we had more youth involvement,” will.i.am said. “America would be cool, a lot cooler if the youth paid more attention.” Ben Keith contributed to this story.

On the surface, cross-country racing seems like such a simple sport. Go a long distance as fast as you can, and get as many top finishes as possible. But collegiate cross-country is not quite that simple. While the goal is still to run as fast as possible, there are nuances to the scoring and the structure of the events that can leave newcomers to the sport scratching their heads. Races for the men are between five and eight kilometers long (3.1 – five miles), with the majority being eight km. If the race is an NCAA regional or national championship event, it is 10 km (6.2 miles) long. Women’s events are between five and six km. (3.1 and 3.7 miles). At each event, only a team’s five fastest times count. The team is then given points equal to each runner’s overall finishing position. So if a runner finishes second, the team is given two points, three points are given to third place and so on. “It’s scored just like golf in that the lower your score, the better you finish,” said men’s team coach Brice Allen. The best possible score is a 15, which is achieved only if a team takes first through fifth place. The team with the lowest total wins the match. This is the case for all regular season events and the Big Ten Championship meet. Qualifying for the national championship is a bit more complicated. There are nine major regional events. The top two teams from each of those events automatically move on to the NCAA Championships. An additional 13 teams will qualify based on their performance in the regular season. Events prior to the weekend of September 15-16 are considered warm-up events and do not count for national qualifying. Top runners whose teams do not qualify for nationals may qualify to compete as individuals.
There are other minor changes that occur during the crosscountry postseason. “When you get into the championship races there’s more team tactics,” Allen said. “Sometimes your lead runners will set the pace for your No. 5 guy. There is strength in numbers.” The strategy was echoed by women’s cross-country coach Khadevis Robinson, who said that sticking together is key. “You can get (positions) one, two, three and four and that’s only 10 points, but if your fifth person gets 110th then you gotta add that 110 onto those 10 points and now your score is 120. Whereas someone else can get 15th, 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th. Add those up and it’s less than 120,” he said. “Even though your first four girls got one, two, three and four, you lose.” However, this is not easy. “Getting five guys to finish an eight-10 km race within a 25-35 second spread is extremely challenging,” OSU redshirt senior runner Chris Fallon said. There are a number of other aspects to the sport that most people are not aware of. Athletes spend a lot of time in the weight room and recuperating from injuries. “I don’t think people know how much time we put into our sport,” said junior runner Meredith Wagner. “We never have an offseason. We train year-round and compete in three seasons. We spend many hours a week in the training room and doing rehab to stay healthy.” Cross-country injuries can range from simple blisters to tendonitis and stress fractures. “I give a lot of credit to our athletic trainers for putting up with us,” Fallon said. Despite the difficult year-round work, the pain and the strategy involved, the essence of cross-country is fairly simple. “At the end of the day it comes down to just racing,” Robinson said.

Meyer, Wilson discuss OSU-Indiana game EVAN SPEYER Senior Lantern reporter speyer.10@osu.edu The No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) will open divisional play this weekend, when they travel to Bloomington, Ind., to face the Indiana Hoosiers (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten). First-year coach Urban Meyer doesn’t want a let down against the Hoosiers, saying OSU can’t afford to look beyond Saturday’s opponent yet. Meyer discussed his team’s upcoming match, as did Indiana coach Kevin Wilson, during Tuesday’s Big Ten Conference football coaches’ teleconference. Looking past the Hoosiers? After back-to-back wins against ranked opponents, including a 63-38 drubbing of then-No. 21 Nebraska Saturday, the Buckeyes seem to be a confident bunch. Meyer appears to be attempting to keep a lid on the confidence. Meyer said it’s important for his team to realize there is plenty of football to be played before they can be considered a great team. “These kids are 6-0 and a lot of people are telling them how good they are,” Meyer said. “Quite honestly, we have a long way to go.” It is something that, arguably, happens every year in college football. Teams can win a big game against a ranked team, ride that high all week, and then lose to an inferior opponent that they underestimate a week later. Meyer said he is not concerned with his team’s focus as it prepares for an Indiana team that has lost its last three games. “We’re not at the point that we can start overlooking anybody,” Meyer said. “I’m concerned about execution and stopping them, not overlooking them.” Nebraska win bodes well for the future Considering the number of recruits OSU hosted on Saturday, the win against the Cornhuskers could have major implications on Meyer’s program for years to come. Meyer wasn’t able to give an exact number of recruits in attendance, but said that “there were a lot” of prospective Buckeyes in the Horseshoe. Meyer also said the atmosphere in the stadium during the Buckeyes’ win left an impression of some of the nation’s elite high school prospects. “It’s a little risky sometimes to have a bunch of recruits come in on a big game, because if you fail and you lose, it’s miserable,” Meyer said. “The atmosphere was tremendous. The way we won in the second half, that was very critical for recruiting.” Miller a Heisman hopeful? As one of college football’s leaders in rushing yards per game, and the quarterback of the Big Ten’s only unbeaten team, sophomore Braxton Miller, is gaining hype as a Heisman Trophy contender. “He’s one of the best players in the college game,” Wilson said. Wilson did say that, “there are better players out there,” but pointed out that the sophomore

OSU won, 63-38. quarterback will only improve as he grows into Meyer’s system. “He’s young,” Wilson said. “Knowing a little bit about him, and knowing the coach that he’s got, he will get better and better. You’re not seeing the best of him.” A key component in winning the Heisman Trophy is having big games on big stages against ranked opponents. Miller might have done that last Saturday, rushing for a career-high 186 yards and scoring two touchdowns in a win against Nebraska. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, however, was not willing to anoint Miller as a favorite for college football’s most prestigious individual award. “That’s up to you guys,” Pelini said. Award winners The Buckeyes’ Saturday win has resulted in national accolades for several players on the team. For his five tackles-for-loss in the win against the Cornhuskers, senior defensive end John Simon has
received three national awards including the Chuck Bednarik Award’s national player of the week award on Tuesday. Simon received the Lott IMPACT player of the week award, as well as College Football Performance defensive player of the week award, on Monday. Miller, who rushed for an OSU quarterback record 186 yards and a touchdown, was honored with the Davey O’Brien quarterback of the week award. After rushing for 140 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries against Nebraska, junior running back Carlos Hyde was named the Big Ten’s co-offensive player of the week. Thanks to a 76-yard punt return in the third quarter against the Cornhuskers, junior wide receiver Corey Brown was named the Big Ten’s special teams player of the week.

Surrealism is alive and well at CS Gallery in Columbus’ Olde Towne East neighborhood, just in time for Halloween. Running from Friday through Oct. 22, the exhibit titled “Dark, Twisted, & Crunchy III” is the third annual event of its kind at CS Gallery. “I try not to repeat show themes too much, but in 2010 I gave it a shot and decided to keep doing it as long as it’s successful,” said Daniel Colvin, owner of CS Gallery. Colvin is unsure of the number of entrants for the exhibition, but said
he expects 30 to 40 pieces of art. The deadline for online submissions has passed, but artists can still submit art for the exhibition by dropping it off at the gallery. Surrealism is a cultural and social movement that gained momentum in France in the 1920s that focuses on connecting the subconscious to the outward world through artistic expression. Paintings, such as those by Spanish painter Salvador Dali, are easily recognized throughout the world for their dreamy, dark or grotesque quality. Photographers such as Man Ray and writers such as French writer Guillaume Apollinaire also belong to the Surrealism movement.

The Neil Cowley Trio might just now be finding its footing in the United States, but what potential fans might not know is they’ve been hearing pianist Neil Cowley’s work for years — he provided the piano part for Adele’s song “Hometown Glory.” The Neil Cowley Trio is scheduled to perform its brand of “poetic jazz” at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Wexner Center for the Arts’ Performance Space. This will mark the British band’s first time in Columbus as it begins to build a new fan base in the U.S. with The Face of Mount Molehill U.S. tour. The tour supports the band’s fourth album, “The Face of Mount Molehill.” “In the United States we’re really a new band. We want to keep expectations low for the support we may get in the U.S. like we did in the U.K., since we’re showing off our music to a brand new audience,” Cowley said. “Making it in the U.S. is the goal of any band, and we’re putting in the hard work now. In other countries we’d have nice hotels, but now it’ll be back to sleeping on my friend’s couch.” “The Face of Mount Molehill” was inspired by multiple German bands Cowley was listening to at the time, such as experimental rock band Can, electronic band Kraftwerk and electronic/experimental band Cluster. Cowley also said he wanted to experiment with strings for this album and created a string quartet to create the “big and dramatic” sound he wanted for the record.

The Neil Cowley Trio is scheduled to perform Oct. 13 at the Wexner Center for the Arts’ Performance Space. “We have firm ideas of music we want to create before we head into the studio and that’s because we record in very expensive studios that have the best sound quality. We spent a week in RAK Studios (in London) to achieve that level of high-quality sound and we recorded as one unit. We usually have three to four takes for recording a song, and if it’s a difficult song to perform, it’ll be 10 takes,” Cowley said. The band’s first album, “Displaced,” released in 2006, was recorded in two days and ultimately earned the band a BBC Jazz Award for Best Album in 2007. Cowley said this was an utter shock to him and his bandmates since they were relatively new in the music scene as a band.
Cowley, however, is more widely known for working with then-unknown British singer Adele. Cowley said he met Adele and her producer Jim Abbiss through a string of musical contacts within the U.K. and he was asked to help record Adele’s first record “19.” Cowley said Adele was a very humble and down-to-earth person within the studio. He said he continued to work with Adele, providing piano instrumentals for her hit single “Rolling in the Deep” off her breakthrough album “21,” which garnered the 2012 Grammy for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. “Rolling in the Deep” won the 2012 Grammy
for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Jennifer Wray, a marketing and media assistant for the Wexner Center, said the Wexner Center is sticking by its commitment to bring “talented musicians from around the world” to town by scheduling the Neil Cowley Trio. “They’re a high-energy group with rollicking, powerful melodies, and their instrumental work is such that even if your tastes run more to indie rock than to jazz, you’re sure to hear something you like,” she said. The band also provides a certain genre of music the Wexner Center has promised to sponsor. “We have a commitment to jazz innovators and also regularly sponsor international artists in all disciplines. Neil and his band fit both categories,” said Chuck Helm, director of performing arts at the Wexner Center. “I’m hoping that fans of music like this will enjoy the Neil Cowley Trio and (hoping) that will include Ohio State students.” Cowley said he ultimately enjoys the independent music market and hopes to continue pursuing music as a lifelong career. “I think music speaks louder than the words, I think it gets deeper with music. The music isn’t telling you what to feel, it’s up to you to make that interpretation. Music without the words is the ultimate,” Cowley said. Tickets are $13 for students, $16 for members and $18 for the general public. They can be purchased at the Wexner Center box office or on the Wexner Center’s website.
‘Two Man Show’ to share spectrum of sketch comedy with Columbus Andrea Henderson Senior Lantern reporter henderson.578@osu.edu It was his last year at Ohio State when a then 22-year-old decided to put his sense of humor to the test at an open mic night near campus. “It’s always been something I wanted to do. So when I got the opportunity, I figured I might as well give it a shot,” said Justin Golak, an OSU alumnus and Cleveland native. Golak said stand-up comedy was always something that appealed to him as a kid, so when the chance presented itself at the mic night he couldn’t pass it up. Sumukh Torgalkar, a friend and high school classmate of Golak’s, said he shares the same passion for comedy. The duo had a shot at performing comedy for the first time six years ago and have been performing around Columbus ever since. “Comedy Tonight: Sumukh and Golak’s Two Man Show” is scheduled to be performed 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday at the Short North Stage’s Garden Theatre. “I always had an interest in comedy, but I never thought about doing stand-up and actually performing,” Torgalkar said. Torgalkar attended Miami University where he wrote humor columns for the student newspaper in an attempt to get his work published but said he got frustrated with the rejection he kept facing. After trying stand-up for the first time, he said it felt like the perfect fit. “With stand-up I had the opportunity to write comedy, perform it right away and get an automatic response,” Torgalkar said. “It was a nice combination of my interest in performance, but also my interest in writing.” Although the two comedians generally perform separately, they occasionally perform together, and for the past two years have put on a show that consists of video and live sketches. “It’s called the ‘Two Man Show’ because it’s the both of us collaborating on a show that we wrote together that is completely new material,” Torgalkar said.

‘Comedy Tonight: Sumukh and Golak’s Two Man Show,’ featuring (left to right) Justin Golak and Sumukh Torgalkar, is scheduled to be performed Oct. 13 in the Green Room at the Short North Stage’s Garden Theatre. Zack Baird, a promoter for Short North Stage, said he’s known Golak and Torgalkar for a while now and they helped launch the Columbus comedy scene. “I remember feeling kind of intimidated by them because in my opinion, they were the first ones to spearhead comedy in Columbus, with regard to booking shows, promoting themselves and really taking the idea of a local comedy scene seriously,” Baird said. “They are hilarious, unique, and I feel like they have a brand of comedy that everyone can appreciate regardless of age (and) educational background.” Golak added they have different types of humor, so bringing the two styles together gives the show its own twist. “We work together while writing because we find the same things funny,” Golak said. “We approach things differently, so I think that makes it a very interesting show.” The show provides a full spectrum of humor, Torgalkar said, because he offers a dry sense of humor and Golak is more conversational. “I think if people have been out in Columbus to see stand-up comedy they’ve seen both of our acts, but this is a nice opportunity to see completely new material from us,” Torgalkar said.
Each comedian writes his own sketches, and then they find ways the sketches can be integrated into the show together. Outside of the show, the comedians have had mentionable accomplishments in their careers. Golak was named one of Columbus Alive’s 2012 People to Watch, and he said he is the first comedian to receive this honor. Torgalkar was given the chance to open up for comedian Reggie Watts, who is often featured on Conan O’Brien’s late night show, “Conan.” Torgalkar said despite their earned achievements, the most rewarding benefit they receive as comedians is being able to provide an audience with a good time. “We want people to be entertained and to have an hour-and-a-half to step away from whatever might be going on in their lives,” he said. Torgalkar compared perfecting the art of comedy to learning a sport. “The easiest way to learn is to keep going up on the stage and finding your voice and finding the way to write jokes,” he said. “It’s like any sport, you have to get out there and practice.” Tickets to the show can be purchased for $8 on Short North Stage’s website or $10 at the door. The Garden Theatre is located at 1187 N. High St.

Actor Ben Affleck ‘Gone Baby Gone’ from punch lines, will prove himself with ‘Argo’ Lantern Columnist
Nine years ago, Ben Affleck was a Hollywood punch line, and justifiably so. In 2003 alone, he starred in “Daredevil,� “Gigli� and “Paycheck,� all of which were reviled by critics and audiences Matt Kraus alike. What kraus.86@osu.edu began as a promising career looked like it was bound to drown in a sea of trash, and it seemed like it wouldn’t be long before Affleck dropped off the face of the Earth. Then in 2007, Affleck made the smartest choice of his career. He decided he was done making bad movies, and that the best way to control the quality of his films was to actually make them himself. Since then, he’s been able to put together one of the most remarkable Hollywood comebacks in recent memory. With the release of “Argo� this Friday, he’s gone from one of the most mocked men in show business to one of the most respected. His first directorial effort was “Gone Baby Gone,� a Boston crime drama starring his brother Casey Affleck. At that time anti-Affleck sentiment was still quite prevalent, and the thought of the star of “Gigli� actually making a movie wasn’t exactly met with the warmest reception. Once people actually saw the movie, however, it was quite the wake-up call. Gone was any sign of the guy who latched on to projects like “Daredevil� and found himself in the
tabloids at every turn. “Gone Baby Goneâ€? was a dark, complex drama that immediately converted all who saw it. People went in with virtually no expectations, and left with the realization that Ben Affleck was a filmmaker with things to say. Directing a movie wasn’t one last stab at relevance; perhaps this is the position Ben Affleck was always meant to hold. The question then became whether or not “Gone Baby Goneâ€? was a fluke, and the second film Ben Affleck directed would be perhaps the most important of his career. He responded in 2010 with “The Town,â€? a clichĂŠd but expertly directed bank heist film that was met with quite a bit of acclaim in the industry . Even those who didn’t care for the material admitted that this film proved that Ben Affleck was pretty darn good at this new job. This transition from movie star to artist has also positively influenced his acting work, which even he would likely admit was weak before his recent resurgence. He will never be Daniel Day-Lewis, but he hasn’t turned in a bad performance in quite some time. Films such as “State of Playâ€? and “The Company Menâ€? have actually been improved by Ben Affleck’s acting, and next year he will be seen in “To the Wonder,â€? the latest film by “The Tree of Lifeâ€? director Terrence Malick. “Argoâ€? is his latest film, and while I have not seen it yet, it has been met with some of the best reviews of Ben Affleck’s career, and the awards buzz has been swirling around this project for a while. If everything pans out, this film could be the project that completes his transition from late night talk show fodder to Academy Awards darling. It’s quite the comeback, and one that proves just how much can be accomplished when one decides to take control of their career. He stopped letting the industry push him around, and he’s better off for it.

This will be difficult to get off my chest. My hope is that if I share my story, others will feel inspired to be honest with themselves and others. Phew. God. This really is tough. I’m a journalism major and an editor of The Lantern —
why does it have to be like this? Ugh. I’ll just say it: I don’t know anything about politics. And it is not for lack of trying. I have a folder’s worth of news applications on my phone’s homepage. I have a Google Reader account. I steal the free New York Times from residence halls whenever I get a chance. That I have down to a science. I watch “Meet the Press,� “Real Time with Bill Maher� and “The Daily Show.� My girlfriend’s car is tuned to Columbus’ NPR station. News and politics while you drive. I still don’t know anything about politics. At least that is how it feels. Something is awry. Paradoxically it happens that the more I try and read, watch and listen to columnists, bloggers and commentators, the less likely it is I come away with a clear understanding of the issue at hand. Shouldn’t this be alarming? Shouldn’t I, a wannabe journalist, be hyper-informed with a web of knowledge
keeping its thumb on a cliche on top of another cliche etcetera etcetera. No! It is OK to feel inadequate while reading a Paul Krugman story because maybe he writes for a sharper audience. The good thing about media today is the rainbow of options. People can match up with the appropriate newsperson. Maybe, at 21, I’m not a Krugman guy. That’s OK. Also, at 21, I’m probably not just a “Daily Show� guy anymore. The dangerous decision I’ve made before is to take on all of these thinkers as “my guys,� and it happens because I like the feeling of reading an article. I like entering a writer’s thought arena and seeing what they’ve been doing with all that training. I like that feeling a lot, maybe to the point of love, or maybe to the point of obsession. The fix of reading an article is free and renewable. And this is not a good thing. It makes sense I would lose my way once I begin obsessing with the brains behind the stories. Think of how quickly your relationship would go south if you told your significant other that while you once had a healthy love for them for actual reasons (smarts, loyalty, a weird freckle) that now you can’t spend time away from them and you can’t explain it. There is a sweet spot in relationships and there is a sweet spot in self-information. Find the spot where reading just one more article on voter ID laws or gay marriage does not offer you new insight. Find the spot where reading another article or watching 10 more minutes of CNN clouds your understanding of an issue. Don’t under-inform. Don’t get overwhelmed.

[ a +e ] Ha Ha Tonka trucks toward Columbus with indie folk chelsea Spears Lantern reporter spears.116@osu.edu Ha Ha Tonka is a band willing to do whatever it takes to get an authentic indie folk sound — even if that means recording its latest album in a 200-year-old New York barn. The finished product comes complete with mandolin and some natural sounds of the barn, such as creaking floorboards. “We recorded in a barn with two different producers. It allowed us to mix the authentic with the synthetic,� said Brian Roberts, singer and guitarist for the band. “I think the record speaks for itself when you listen to it. We’ve been fortunate enough to have a good record label behind us and people who have allowed us to make the music we want. We’ve had freedom.� Ha Ha Tonka is scheduled to perform 8 p.m. Thursday at the Rumba Cafe. Columbus is the first of three cities the band is hitting before wrapping up its 2012 North American tour in New York City. After New York, it’s traveling to Europe to kick off its first international tour in which the band is scheduled to play in Spain, Ireland, England, Germany and the Netherlands, among other countries. The Ha Ha Tonka quartet maintains its roots in its hometown. Originating from Springfield, Mo., the band named itself after the Ha Ha Tonka State Park in Camdenton, Mo. Its music reflects a foundation in bluegrass, southern rock and folk culture that owes part of its existence to their Ozarks upbringing, Roberts said. “Someone once described us as a cross between ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou?’ and indie rock. We liked that description a lot,� Roberts said. Ha Ha Tonka has released a total of three albums since its formation in 2005. The band released “Death of a Decade� in 2011 through Bloodshot Records. Michelle Herbert, a second-year in pre-mechanical engineering, said she occasionally listens to the Ha Ha Tonkas and hopes to attend its show Thursday.

Indie folk band Ha Ha Tonka is scheduled to perform Oct. 11 at Rumba Cafe, located at 2507 Summit St. “They remind me a little of Vampire Weekend,� Herbert said. “I haven’t bought a ticket yet but I’d really like to go.� Drummer Lennon Bone said the band is seeing substantial growth with each tour stop, seeing anywhere from 50 to 500 audience members in a venue. It played at Lollapalooza in Chicago, the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, and South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. “We’ve been lucky to do some really cool things in the past eight years — big festivals, television appearances,� Bone said. “It’s just a

‘Dark, Twisted, & Crunchy III,’ featuring the works of James Kelly, is scheduled to run Oct.12-22 at CS Gallery.
James Kelly, a contributor to the exhibit and folk artist, has worked with Colvin in the past. Kelly was featured in the first “Dark, Twisted, & Crunchy� exhibit with two other artists. “I’m submitting five to seven (pieces of art), I believe, it just depends on the space. My work (for this exhibit) has an emphasis on collage and illustration with sort of a surreal landscape,� Kelly said. Kelly said his pieces are larger, about 4 feet by 4 feet, and the pieces he will display at the exhibition are for sale. Prices range from $250 to $2,500 for an original, and prints are available for $5 to $10.
slow climb, so we take what we can when we can. Our main goal is to make good music and be able to have a sustainable living with the group, and I think we’re on our way.� Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased prior to the show on Ha Ha Tonka’s website. Fox n Hounds and Blood Roots Barter are also scheduled to perform at the show, and the Rumba Cafe is located at 2507 Summit St.
Simon La Bozetta, a full-time artist, teaches at Glass Axis, an art studio located at 1341 Norton Ave., but still shows his work when he can. “I didn’t do last year’s exhibit. I wanted to, but I was strapped for time and didn’t have the ability to,� he said. La Bozetta said his wife describes his work as symbolic surrealism. Over a 27-year span he has dabbled in a number of styles, but for the last 10 years, his style has matured into surrealism. La Bozetta also said he creates about six pieces at a time to work through the artistic concept, and he expects to enter two or three oil paintings in the exhibit. One piece La Bozetta is entering is
a “see no evil� concept that mocks the effects of the body by way of its realism, and another large painting of his wife will be for sale for about $1,500. Kelly, originally sought out by Colvin in 2010 to submit to the first “Dark, Twisted, & Crunchy� exhibit, said that CS Gallery is an appropriate spot for an exhibit. “It’s a great space and a great gallery to show in, and anytime they ask me to show I try to,� Kelly said. CS Gallery is located at 66 Parsons Ave.
