Meyer: ‘We don’t do that’

OSU coach Urban Meyer said he was upset by comments a player made about being able to beat top-ranked teams.

[ a+e ]

An Ohio State student was the target of a reported armed robbery Monday. Sydney Adelstein, a secondyear in nursing and member of Delta Gamma women’s fraternity, parked her vehicle in a parking lot on Indianola Avenue near 15th Avenue — between her chapter’s house and the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house — after driving home from the library. “I was getting something out of my trunk. I think I was at my trunk for maybe three minutes, and I went to go shut it and I turned around and I saw this person coming up,” Adelstein told The Lantern Tuesday. “I thought it was someone in my sorority. And she just came up closer and (then) I just thought it was some homeless person … She asked me if I had any money and I was like, ‘Oh, no, sorry.’ “When I said ‘no,’ that is when she put her hands on me and she was like, ‘No, I know you have money.’”

Adelstein said the woman then tried to take her bag but Adelstein didn’t cooperate at first. “I started screaming out of fear, and that’s when she took her gun and she was like, ‘I will shoot you if you don’t shut up,’ and she put it to my stomach,” she said. “I wasn’t resisting, I was scared. I literally thought I was going to die.” Adelstein said she then started looking through her bag for her wallet

to find money for the woman, forgetting she had left her wallet in her car. “She took my bag and was like, ‘Go lay on the ground.’ I was right next to my car so no one could really see,” Adelstein said. Adelstein said the woman started to walk away with her bag when Adelstein stood up to lock her car out of natural instinct. The woman, though, turned around and pointed the gun at Adelstein again.

It seems safe to say the owner of Charlie Bear and his previous landlords at Campus Partners won’t be dancing together again anytime soon. Since the beginning of the summer, at least three properties in the South Campus Gateway have closed — Kildare’s Irish Pub, Charlie Bear: Land of Dance and Gooeyz, the latter two of which announced their leaves via social media recently. Charlie Bear owner Ted Lawson said the closing of these establishments is directly because of the management of the Gateway by Campus Partners. “It was a joke. We pay high, high rent and yet the landlord would never do anything to help us, and actually the landlord was our biggest enemy,” Lawson said. “People would ask me who my biggest competitor was, whether it was bars on campus or downtown, and I would tell people my landlord.” Campus Partners is a private nonprofit corporation that works on community planning in the OSU campus area alongside the university and the city of Columbus.

is a subtenant of Campus Partners, said Amanda Hoffsis, president of Campus Partners in an email. Charlie Bear revealed via Twitter and Facebook Oct. 24 it would be moving to a new location at 2885 Olentangy River Road, formerly Cadillac Boo’s, which was owned by the same people as Charlie Bear. A Nov. 4 tweet from Gooeyz restaurant and bar’s Twitter account, @Gooeyz, read “Gooeyz is now closed. Thank you for your patronage and all of the Cheezy Love!!” Kildare’s, meanwhile, closed over the summer. Hoffsis saw Charlie Bear’s move from a different perspective. “There had been several safety issues and security instances over the course of the last couple of years … and certainly their inability to work with us in trying to address those led us to some of our decision, but they also owe us a significant amount of money in back rent,” Hoffsis said on the phone, referring to decisions leading up to allowing Charlie Bear to leave its lease, which was originally set to expire in 2016. But other problems had been rising, and Lawson said there were a number of

? ? ? ? Presidential Search

Adelstein said the woman said, “Stay down, don’t f------ move.” After the woman left with Adelstein’s bag, which had her MacBook laptop, notes for class and other miscellaneous items in it, Adelstein ran to the back of the Delta Gamma house and had someone let her in. She then reported the incident to the Columbus Division of Police. Adelstein said though she tried to use a built-in locator to find her laptop, she was unsuccessful because the laptop was not connected to the Internet. She said the computer had a password lock on it as well. A public safety notice was issued about the incident Tuesday at about 5 p.m. In the notice, the suspect was described as a black woman between age 16 and 25, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and approximately 200 pounds. She was armed with a handgun and was wearing a camouflage jacket, black pants and a black scarf or mask over her face, according to the notice. A University Police representative

It has been 117 days since the search began.

OSU summary highlights university partnerships, Marching Band LIZ YOUNG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu The same day a document summarizing Ohio State’s best qualities was approved by the Board of Trustees, the Presidential Search Committee chairman said whoever is selected as the next president might not take the helm of the university until the beginning of Fall Semester 2014. “We did some analysis on how long it takes to find a president in an open, public search. The data tells us it’s about 300 days. We’re about 120 days in,” Presidential Search Committee Chairman Jeffrey Wadsworth said at the Friday Board of Trustees meeting. “That doesn’t mean we’re going to be looking for another 180, but if we find somebody in a couple of months, they may still not be able to start until the start of the academic year.” The recently released 63-page university portrait, drawn up by the Presidential Search Committee advisory subcommittee, mentions that the university president reports to the Board of Trustees, and highlights the definition of the president’s role as written in the Board bylaws. The president is the chief executive officer of OSU and is responsible for the administration of the university, but is subject to the Board’s control and does not have authority over “functions reserved exclusively to the senior vice president for Business and Finance and chief financial officer and trustees,” the bylaws read. The excerpt in the portrait also discusses the president’s leadership duties. “The president shall lead in fostering and promoting education and research as the primary aims of the university. It shall be the duty of the president to enforce

Presidential Search Committee Chairman Jeffrey Wadsworth (center) at a Board of Trustees meeting, Nov. 8. the bylaws, rules and regulations of the Board of Trustees, and, as a member of the faculty, to interpret the Board proposals and actions of the faculty,” it read. The document underlines the achievements of OSU students, faculty and staff, as well as the contributions of alumni and various partnerships and agreements in which OSU is involved. In particular, it details that OSU’s parking privatization deal and agreement with Huntington Bank, worth $483 million and an approximate upfront payment and investment of $125 million, respectively, have allowed the university to generate funds for things including faculty initiatives, scholarships and investments in the neighborhoods around the Columbus campus. The portrait’s “culture” section features the OSU Marching Band and briefly mentions its recent viral halftime show videos. One YouTube video of the band’s video game

performance during the OSU football team’s 2012 season has more than 15 million views, while a video of the band’s Hollywood Blockbusters halftime show Oct. 26 has more than 12.9 million views and a BuckeyeTV video of a Michael Jackson tribute halftime show Oct. 19 has more than 8.7 million views. Some OSU students agreed that the band is an asset to the university’s appeal. “The band’s an important part of the university. I lived in Lincoln (Tower) my freshman year and they practice in that field in front of Lincoln and every day I would come out and I would see them playing and they’re so good. I would see the awesome things that they (were) doing. That was probably the part that made me feel the most at home here at Ohio State,” said Isabel Bozada, a third-year in early childhood education. Different sources of the university’s funding are broken down in the portrait as well — the majority of OSU’s funding comes from tuition and fees at 30 percent, the rest is divided up between grants and contracts, state support, gifts, auxiliary sales, educational department sales and “other.” Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs who is on the advisory subcommittee, said he was satisfied with the finished document. “I thought the university portrait looked fantastic. The office of communications and the search committee put a lot of work into it, I believe, and I think that anyone who’s looking at the document itself will get a good sense of all that Ohio State has to offer,” Stepp said.

OSU has record number of Fulbright recipients

In an effort to better its communication with the student body, OSU’s Undergraduate Student Government is offering a new texting service that allows students to sign up to receive text message updates about campus and USG events such as USG meetings or sponsored events.

BROOKE SAYRE Lantern reporter sayre.128@osu.edu

USG TEXT MESSAGE SERVICE

The service was launched earlier this month and will continue for the remainder of the academic year, costing about

$400 Funding for the service comes from USG’s Coca-Cola endowment. About $50K from OSU’s deal with Coca-Cola is allotted to USG each year. USG uses the fund for various events and initiatives. Approval of the USG general assembly is required to use any money from the Coca-Cola fund.

Summary from 1A Bozada said though Wadsworth’s comments suggested the committee might find someone sooner rather than later, she doesn’t think there’s any hurry. “The university’s marching on, we’re doing fine. It’s no rush but if they get done sooner, cool,” she said. Other students said they aren’t concerned with when the university finds the next president either. “I haven’t really noticed there being a difference with there not being a (permanent) president, I don’t even think about that very much,” said Dylan Bram, a third-year in music. Bram said one characteristic of OSU he would emphasize in a document like the portrait is diversity. “There’s so much diversity in what you can do,” Bram said. “There’s just a ton of different kind of people with different interests all in the same place, which is really cool.” The portrait’s section about OSU’s diversity includes information about OSU being named one of the top-25 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-friendly colleges and universities, statistics about how 17 percent of OSU students are of domestic ethnic minorities and numbers focusing on more than 20 percent of full-time professors being women in the 2012-13 academic year. The presidential profile, an eight-page document about the desired qualities and experience of the next university president that was also drawn up by the advisory subcommittee and was

A record-high number of Ohio State graduate students and recent alumni have received the opportunity to take their learning abroad. OSU has 14 faculty members and a recordhigh 16 graduate students and recent alumni traveling abroad with Fulbright scholarships for the 2013-14 academic year. The Fulbright scholarship is a U.S. international education exchange program that was proposed to the U.S. Congress in 1945 by Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. His goal for the program was to help promote understanding between countries, according to the Fulbright Scholar Program website. The Fulbright exchange programs run between the U.S. and more than 155 countries around the world and are based on an application process. Charlie Baker, a 2013 OSU graduate in international studies was among those chosen to receive a Fulbright scholarship. He is planning to go to Araraquara, Brazil, in February to teach English for nine months. Baker was awarded about $20,000 for living expenses.

OSU is set to pay the firm a fixed fee of $200,000, as well as reimburse the firm for direct, out-of-pocket expenses and an additional cost of $20,000 to cover administrative and support expenses, according to the contract. It has been more than five months since former OSU President E. Gordon Gee announced his retirement June 4. Gee retired July 1, the same day Interim President Joseph Alutto assumed the position. The announcement of Gee’s retirement came days after controversial remarks he made at a Dec. 5 OSU Athletic Conference became public. Comments about Notre Dame and the Southeastern Conference in particular brought national attention. While Stepp couldn’t say what exactly the advisory subcommittee’s role will be moving forward, he said the process is ever evolving. “I can tell you that the selection committee and really the whole Presidential Search Committee has been involved in a variety of ways in the process, and although I don’t know exactly what we’re going to be doing as the process unfolds … it’s a very fluid process,” he said. “We are taking recommendations very seriously, we’re looking at the feedback from the community and that’s all been very important with our search.”

declined to comment because the case is in the jurisdiction of Columbus Division of Police. Columbus Police representatives did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening. Adelstein’s roommate, Colleen Durkin, a second-year in strategic communication, said she’s glad Adelstein is all right. “I’m in shock because of it, (but) I’m just happy she’s OK,” Durkin said. President of the Delta Gamma Epsilon chapter Hannah Nugent, a fourth-year in biology, said in an email she did not want to comment on the incident in order to “protect the woman involved.” Delta Gamma’s house is located at 131 E. 15th Ave, and Phi Kappa Tau’s house is located at 141 E. 15th Ave. Arielle Cronig, a second-year in international studies and live-in member of Alpha Chi Omega, said she was at the Alpha Chi Omega house, located at 103 E. 15th Ave., when the robbery occurred. “All of a sudden, four cop cars just flew to the DG house, and we were all staring out the window,” Cronig said. Cronig said the robbery has already affected how safe other Greek Life members feel living in their chapters’ houses. “I had just walked home alone. I got home maybe 20 minutes before all of this happened,” Cronig said. “It’s really scary, especially because there’s a lot of places off-campus where you’re worried, but your own driveway is not one of them.” Off-campus crime is an important topic in the university community, said Josh Ahart, vice president of Undergraduate Student Government and a fourth-year in public affairs. Ahart said he’ll be

accepting suggestions from students about how to improve safety. “I truly value what everyone else says (about safety), and I want them to have their concerns voiced and their suggestions heard. That (way) we can come up with the best way to help students in the off-campus area and the Ohio State community,” he said. The incident Monday led to the issuing of the sixth public safety notice since the beginning of August related to an armed robbery, attempted armed robbery or aggravated armed robbery reported in the OSU campus area. A reported attempted armed robbery Aug. 26 on the Olentangy River bridge and a reported aggravated armed robbery Aug. 7 at an Ohio Union parking garage prompted two notices. An attempted robbery reported Sept. 11 on West Maynard Avenue prompted a public safety notice that also mentioned an Aug. 19 reported armed robbery on West Oakland Avenue. There were also two armed robberies reported within two weeks in September at a Huntington Bank branch located at 235 W. 11th Ave. on campus, each prompting its own notice. Chris Kiriakou, a third-year in economics who lives in the Phi Kappa Tau house, said he was worried when he heard about the robbery. “In my memory, there has not been an individual held at gunpoint with nearly that proximity to our house. My immediate reaction was grave concern, not just for my fraternity but for everyone nearby given the severity of the situation,” Kiriakou said. He said he tries to stay safe by avoiding walking late at night, especially alone or in unlit areas, whenever possible. “There’s no one secret magic trick to prevent yourself from being held at gunpoint, unfortunately,” Kiriakou said.

reasons factoring into his choice to move aside from the lease. “I was told by (Campus Partners) that, in fact, they didn’t want Charlie Bear, because one, they don’t like the image. Two, they didn’t like the type of people I was bringing in,” he said. “They felt that the image that Charlie Bear was giving the area was not good.” Since opening in 2011, Lawson said there were multiple problems with Campus Partners hindering plans and the management of his business, and called his experience as a tenant “horrible.” “Anytime I ever wanted to do anything, they would want to tie my hands so that I couldn’t do it,” he said, including an example of wanting to throw a party in Gateway’s open outdoor space in conjunction with other Gateway tenants but being told he couldn’t.

developing curriculum instructing, ensuring students gain understanding of the English language and American culture.” Students who are selected for the Fulbright program have three options: academic study, research or student-teaching English abroad, said Dana Kuchem, an OSU fellowship adviser who works with the U.S. student recipients. Similarly, faculty have the opportunity to grow professionally by conducting research or teaching abroad, said Joanna Kukielka-Blaser, the Fulbright Scholar Program campus representative in the Office of International Affairs, who advises OSU faculty member scholars. “You can do a variety of things … The useful thing about Fulbright is that you can find in it something for anyone,” Kukielka-Blaser said. “Faculty can apply to conduct research, they can apply to teach, they can apply to do a combination of things.” Students and faculty can apply at different times during their academic careers. “There are opportunities in just about any place

Hoffsis, though, said some of those restrictions were ways to keep patrons safe. “Our only issues were events that the Ohio Department of Public Safety suggested we ramp down,” she said. As far as working toward filling the area again, Hoffsis said a business has signed for its intent to lease a space in the Gateway and there have been other interested new tenants, but several vacant lots still remain. Lawson said he doesn’t think that will change until the Gateway’s management changes its enforcement though. “It should be the heartbeat of campus,” he said. “(The Gateway) should be a real center that students should be able to enjoy and do whatever they want. Instead you have a bunch of mall security cops walking around watching everything you do.”

in the world,” Kukielka-Blaser said. “Students can apply in various stages of their study. They can apply as an undergraduate, as a graduating senior, they can apply as graduate students.” Applicants must request a specific program in a specific country, Kuchem said, and different countries have their own qualifications. Kenneth Kolson, director of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs Washington Academic Internship Program, is set to teach at the University of Siauliai in Lithuania, from January until May 2014 with his Fulbright scholarship. He said culture will be one of the most important adjustments to make in order to be successful. “Linguisitic challenges, in addition to cultural challenges (will be the biggest challenge),” Kolson said. “Knowing something about national character, having some sense of people’s social skills, how they interact with one another is always a challenge.”

Buckeyes fend off comeback attempts, defeat Ohio, 79-69 eric seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu Following a 19-year hiatus, the Ohio State men’s basketball team held on to beat in-state rival Ohio University Tuesday, 79-69. The Buckeyes (2-0, 0-0) started fast, scoring the first nine points of the game and making their first three shots. The Bobcats did not get on the board until junior guard Stevie Taylor connected on a jumper more than five minutes into the game. A total of 55 fouls were called over the course of the game, causing play to be disjointed at times. OSU finished 38 of 51 from the free throw line on the night, attempting seven more free throws than field goal attempts. The 38 made free throws tied a school record, set in 1968. The heavy amount of foul calls could be the result of a new rule implemented for the 2013-14 season by the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee, who voted to pass a new stipulation banning any hand or forearm contact by a defensive player. OSU coach Thad Matta said the change is something his team needs to continue to adjust to. “I (said) at the beginning of the season it was going to be a little bit different and I think we got to continue to adjust,” Matta said after the win. Senior guard Aaron Craft agreed, and said it was tough to get into a flow in the game. “We kind of came into this year having an understanding, that’s how games are going to be called … a lot of fouls, a lot of stoppage in play,” Craft said. “It really just makes you focus. You have to refocus every time the ball stops.” Four Buckeyes scored in double figures, led by Craft with 18. Junior center Amir Williams recorded his first double-double of his career, scoring 14 points and snatching 10 rebounds. Junior forward Sam Thompson scored 12 points, and junior forward LaQuinton Ross added 10. The Buckeyes led, 40-28, at halftime, partly because they shot 15 of 20 from the free throw line. While the Buckeyes’ lead swelled to 17 in the first half, the Bobcats cut it to five after junior forward Maurice Ndour put back a miss with just less than four minutes to go. Senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. hit a 3-pointer from the corner, though, with 1:55 on the clock to extend OSU’s lead to 10. The Bobcats (1-1, 0-0) fired right back, as senior guard Nick Kellogg

OSU won, 79-69. answered with a three of his own, keeping the Bobcat fans into the game. Kellogg and Taylor finished with 21 points each. “We’ve been in tight situations before. They had momentum, they had courage. They thought they were going to win the game,” Smith Jr. said. “For some teams, they might have panicked, but for us, I wouldn’t expect us to panic at all. We’ve been at every spectrum of the basketball game. We’ve been in tight situations.” Playing a team who would not back down like Ohio is an experience Smith Jr. said will help the team later in the season, including Saturday when the Buckeyes travel to Marquette to battle the No. 17 Golden Eagles. “It’s definitely going to keep us on our toes. Marquette is a very good basketball team,” Smith Jr. said. “(It’s) another humbling experience, no matter who you play, you gotta show up every game now, if you want to win games at this level.”

Craft found the ball in his hands as the game clock wound down, making enough free throws to seal the victory for the Buckeyes. “Having them come back the way they did, making big play after big play down the stretch, and us having to come back and make a big play on our own, that’s something that’s really going to help us later on,” Craft said. “It’s games like this that really help us later on.” Matta agreed with Craft, adding that his players had “a little bit of a dazed look” in their eyes in the second half while facing the relentless Bobcats. The Buckeyes responded well though, which Matta said is a positive moving forward. “We weren’t as sharp as we needed to be, and maybe it was a little too easy early (on),” Matta said. “But I thought down the the stretch we made some big plays.” OSU travels to Milwaukee Saturday to take on the Golden Eagles. Tip off is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Meyer: ‘I’m very disappointed’ in Spencer’s comments about top teams dan hope Oller reporter hope.46@osu.edu

Ritika shah / Asst. photo editor

OSU coach Urban Meyer celebrates his team’s victory after a game against Purdue Nov. 2 at Ross-Ade Stadium. OSU won, 56-0.

Ohio State junior wide receiver Evan Spencer made national headlines Monday when he told the media he thought OSU’s football team could “wipe the field” with the top ranked teams in college football. Although Spencer acknowledged he was “a little bit biased” before making that comment, and chuckled as he said it, OSU coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday he was displeased with what Spencer said. “I’m very disappointed. I can’t stand that,” Meyer said during Tuesday’s Big Ten teleconference. “What he believes and what goes on inside the locker room certainly doesn’t need to be in the papers and all that. I just don’t, I don’t like disrespecting other teams.” Meyer said the media should not expect Spencer to be available for a comment for a “long, long time” as a result of what the wide receiver said Monday. “You don’t do that, that’s not good sportsmanship and that’s not just what we expect,” Meyer said. “I understand he’s a young man that

made a minor mistake but we just don’t do that. You talk about your teammates, you talk about the team and move on.” Spencer, who has caught 21 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns for the Buckeyes this season, apologized for his comments Monday via Twitter. “I did not mean to disrespect any FB team today. I am confident in my team, and as is evident in the video (of the interview), I was having fun…” Spencer’s first tweet read. “… With the media answering their questions. I should have chosen my words more wisely. There was no intent to disrespect any other team,” he finished. The No. 3-ranked Buckeyes (9-0, 5-0) are looking to remain undefeated and tie the school record for most consecutive wins at 22 with a victory against Illinois (3-6, 0-5) Saturday. “We’ve not spent much time talking about (tying the record) … we’ll address that probably if that does occur,” Meyer said. “That’s certainly not something we’re using as motivation right now but I think any time a player plays at a place like Ohio State and you can make a name or a dent in this great tradition that it’s certainly worth being recognized for it.”

For B1G men’s soccer tournament, first game ‘most important’ OSU is set to take on Michigan State at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in the first round of the B1G Tournament Dan Hessler and Eran hami Lantern reporters hessler.31@osu.edu and hami.2@osu.edu Soccer season runs into the early months of winter, so when the Big Ten men’s soccer tournament begins this week, expect some frigid excitement in Columbus. Temperatures are expected to be just warm enough to melt any leftover snow at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, Wednesday, when the tournament is scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. with Michigan State versus Ohio State. “There’s just something about it when the weather gets cold … the ball is hard, the grass is crisp and it feels like tournament time,” Wisconsin coach John Trask said. This year marks the third time since 2001 Ohio State has hosted the Big Ten Tournament. The tournament is scheduled for Nov. 13-17. #3 Michigan State vs. #6 Ohio State Michigan State (10-4-3, 3-2-1) is the reigning Big Ten tournament champion. The Spartans were awarded the fifth seed in last season’s tournament. Spartan coach Damon Rensing said tournament results depend solely on the first match. “It’s cliché, but the first game is the most important. Everyone plays their best that first game and we play Ohio State, who is at home and playing for their season,” Rensing said. This season MSU is lead by redshirt-junior forward Tim Kreutz with eight goals and four assists. Ohio State (5-7-5, 1-3-2) comes into the tournament after winning three of its last four games. Freshman forward Danny Jensen leads the team with three

Redshirt-junior goalkeeper Alex Ivanov has also been keeping OSU alive by recording eight shutouts and leads the Big Ten in goals against average, save percentage, saves and saves per game. “Going back into Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, it’s our home field, defending our home turf, and we’ve done well here this year. We have a winning record at home,” Ivanov said. Last season, OSU finished last in the conference going 0-4-2 and was the seventh seed in the

tournament. The Buckeyes lost in the first round to Northwestern 2-0. Buckeye coach John Bluem said it takes a little something special to win in tournaments. “A lot of it comes down to mental approach and if you’re physically ready to battle, because that’s what it takes this time of year,” Bluem said. Ohio State and Michigan State played to a 1-1 draw in their first meeting in East Lansing, Mich. Oct. 13. The match is set to begin at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

#4 Michigan vs. #5 Indiana Michigan (8-6-3. 3-3) comes into the tournament after winning four of six of its last games. Sophomore forward James Murphy is leading the team with four goals and two assists. Michigan was the third seed in last year’s tournament. The Wolverines finished as the runner-up after losing to MSU in the finals. Coach Chaka Daley said it is hard to prepare for consecutive matches in a short period of time. “You prepare for one game in one day. I don’t think you can certainly overlook one opponent. We certainly are not,” Daley said. Indiana (6-11-1, 2-4) is the reigning NCAA champion. IU was the preseason No. 1, but fell out of the top spot after consecutive losses against University of California-Los Angeles, University of AlabamaBirmingham, and West Virginia in September. Senior midfielder Nikita Kotlov leads the Hoosiers with five goals and 3 assists. Last season, IU was the fourth seed in the Big Ten tournament but lost in the first round to MSU, 2-1. IU senior midfielder Harrison Petts said the team has to play “one game at a time.” “We need to win (the Big Ten tournament) to move on to the NCAA tournament,” Petts said. “We won’t hold back. It’s win or go home for us.” Michigan defeated Indiana earlier this season by a score of 2-1 in Ann Arbor, Mich. The match is set for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

‘Impractical Jokers’ stars to bring pranks to Columbus AMY MACYNSKI Lantern reporter macynski.3@osu.edu Friendship may be sweet and tender, but for four friends, it’s more about making fun of one another and laughter. The comedy troupe, The Tenderloins, is slated to visit Columbus Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Palace Theatre to show off some of its pranks. The group, formed by four friends from an all-boys high school after college, according to the group’s website, is touring to promote its newest truTV show, “Impractical Jokers.” The truTV Impractical Jokers Tour featuring The Tenderloins is based off of The Tenderloins’ hidden camera prank show, and it began in September and will have visited eight cities before coming to Columbus. Unlike some other, more traditional prank shows, the men, Brian “Q” Quinn, James “Murr” Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano, compete against each other in different sketches and skits in public places. At the end of each episode, instead of naming a winner, the group names a loser who must perform a skit chosen by the rest of the group.

“We had the idea for an upside down prank show, where the joke was on us instead on the public,” Murray said. The live show allows fans to see how the show is made and the stories of the stars’ experiences while filming. “We show a little bit of behind-the-scenes of the show, we share some stories, we show some videos that were too hot for TV and some hidden camera challenges done specifically for the show and you know, it’s a bit of stand-up and storytelling,” Murray said. At the live performance, the audience will not only get to see behind-the-scenes and unseen footage, but also a view of the very first video taken by The Tenderloins to pitch the show. “In our live show, you will actually get to see that original film take that we filmed on our own, without any permission, without any crew, on our cell phones,” Murray said. The comedy troupe’s beginnings in improvisation help them interact with the audience at their shows, and each performance starts with a half hour of audience interaction and often ends with a Q-and-A session, Murray said. The comedians often go out in the crowd and have also been known to bring audience members on stage for their bits. The group’s history also includes pranks, and they admit to pranking each other often while in high school.

“You know when you go to an all-boys school, there’s really not much to do other (than) prank each other. There were no girls to distract us. We got started pretty young,” Gatto said. Their history of friendship adds to the show and their comedy, said Sam O’Brien, a third-year in business and fan of “Impractical Jokers.” “I think they have this pretty good chemistry because they grew up together. They’ve been friends since high school … so they know how to play off of each other and they know what gets to each other,” O’Brien said. The live show will be entertaining even for audience members who are not already fans of The Tenderloins, Murray said. “It’s very relatable to everybody because everybody loves messing with their friends,” Murray said. O’Brien said the group’s quick-wittedness will keep the audience entertained when the troupe visits Columbus. “Most of their stuff from the show is impromptu anyway, so they will be able to come up with stuff that is pretty comedic on the fly pretty well, so I bet their live show will be pretty awesome, too,” O’Brien said. Tickets are $41.40 after fees and can be purchased through Ticketmaster. The Palace Theatre is located at 34 W. Broad St. “Impractical Jokers” airs on truTV Thursdays at 10 p.m.

Taye Diggs, co-stars talk growth, plot of ‘The Best Man Holiday’ MARIO ROBERTSON Lantern reporter robertson.328@osu.edu The last “Best Man” movie ended with a wedding. Fifteen years later, the sequel, “The Best Man Holiday,” thrives on another type of festivity. The original cast of “The Best Man” returns for this film, which revisits the friends while they reunite for the Christmas holiday, including Sanaa Lathan (Robyn), Taye Diggs (Harper), Morris Chestnut (Lance), Terrence Howard (Quentin) and Nia Long (Jordan) with new addition Eddie Cibrian (Brian). The characters have matured along with the actors since “The Best Man,” which makes the film unique, Diggs said. “The fact that real time actually has passed is something that differs from a lot of sequels,” Diggs said in an interview with The Lantern and other college media on Tinychat Nov. 2. “As an actor, it is great to come back and see the group 15 years later as friends, but then also deal with the same group of actors that has matured 15 years as actors as well.” Diggs said in the time since “The Best Man’s” 1999 release, which detailed the love triangles of a group of friends in New York City, movies like it have become more common and relatable. “What was great about the first one was there weren’t a lot of movies like ‘The Best Man,’ unfortunately,” Diggs said. “But now you look at the second term of the first African-American president, we as a black people have come forward and I think we can appreciate that … I think these characters are even more relatable today than 15 years ago.” At the end of “The Best Man,” Lance had finally settled down and married his college sweetheart, Mia. In “The Best Man Holiday,” Lance is in his last season as an NFL running back while also juggling his marriage and his religion.

In “The Best Man,” Jordan was a workaholic with little time for love, but that all changes in the sequel as Jordan connects with Brian, a white male. “Jordan is a lot more vulnerable and open to love,” Long said. “Now that she has sort of gotten her career in order and she is where she wants to be career wise, I think she is realizing that there is more to life … Once she connects with Brian, I think she realizes that there is a lot of power and importance and beauty in falling in love.” Long said the fact that her character is involved in an interracial relationship in the movie is not a critical part of the plot. “Interracial relationships have been going on forever,” Long said. “I believe you should love who you want to love and be with whom you want to be with … when you fall in love with someone, you are not falling in love with who they are. You are falling in love with their soul, and souls are colorless.” Though watching the first film would help the viewer understand the characters more, it is not a requirement to see “The Best Man Holiday,” Lathan said. “I don’t think that you need the first ‘Best Man’ because it stands alone and it is enjoyable on its own,” Lathan said. “You can watch it as a little homework assignment, although it’s fun homework because it is so entertaining. Check out the first one and let it just give so much more perspective to what these characters are going through.” Some students think the sequel will still be relevant today. “I understand that the times aren’t the same, but the movie will adjust with the times,” said Alante Ward, a third-year in real estate and urban analysis. “It will be able to relate to the old audiences from the first ‘Best Man’ and new audiences.” Ward said the interracial relationship in the movie will have an impact on viewers. “I actually think that it will have an impact on expressing progress,” Ward said. “In the first movie,

Sanaa Lathan (Robyn), left, and Taye Diggs (Harper) smile during a scene from ‘The Best Man Holiday,’ which is set to hit theaters Nov. 15. there were no mixed relationships … it can show extreme progress. Even from a movie standpoint, there is growth, learning and open-mindedness. The fact that they have included an interracial relationship in the movie shows that we are moving towards a brighter tomorrow.” Friendship and forgiveness are two of the most important values that can be taken from this movie, especially by looking at how Lance forgives Harper, Ward said. “Being able to look at something and seeing even through this hard of a time, Morris Chestnut’s character (Lance) was able to forgive,” Ward said.

“Actually going in depth and putting yourself in the shoes of that character and figuring out that he was able to forgive really teaches you a lot.” Long said “The Best Man Holiday” will leave many with a “wow” feeling. “There are so many things that when you leave you are going to go ‘Wow, I am experiencing some of this in my own life,’” Long said. “I think that is what makes the film special. It really does mirror the journey of life.” “The Best Man Holiday” is set to release in theaters Friday.

studentvoice Trip to LA airport provokes grief, sadness for killed officer campus Columnist

An overwhelming sense of heartbreak was all I felt as I got off the plane at Los Angeles International Airport one week to the moment after a man opened fire in the security line. A man by the name of Paul Ciancia paralyzed LAX Nov. 1 at about 9:20 a.m. by going on a shooting spree leaving one Transportation Security Agent, Gerardo Hernandez, dead and others wounded. Madelyn Grant As I stepped off the plane, I grant.382@osu.edu couldn’t help but notice that my body stiffened and my senses were on high alert. LAX airport is one of the busiest and largest airports in the world with people coming and going from every direction. I am a very frequent traveler so the airport scene is nothing new to me, but on this particular morning I felt different. I felt nervous. My nerves were overwhelming as I stopped and stood still to take a look around and realize that other people in the airport were also standing still. A moment of silence was taking place, not only at LAX but at airports across the country in memory of Gerardo Hernandez. Some people did not seem quite as fazed by the moment as others, but to be in the airport at a time like this was truly devastating. As I made my way further through the airport to baggage claim, I passed the security section in my terminal and once again I stopped in my tracks. The TSA agents were dressed in the traditional royal blue blouses with black sweater vests over top, but today to me, they looked different.

There were no physical signs of tears or emotional distress on their faces but it was simply an understood feeling amongst the travelers walking past security that the anxiety in this area was on overload. The job of the TSA is to keep people safe and make sure no one is entering the terminal with anything on or about them that could be harmful to anyone. But on that fateful Friday, one TSA agent’s job put him in the wrong place at the wrong time and cost him his life. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it is no mystery people are nervous and on guard while traveling, but will these terrible acts of violence continue to be a threat to travelers? As unfortunate as it is, I understand traveling today comes with risks and it is not as simple as it once was. Security is tight, people are anxious and every step in the traveling process seems more complex than ever before. These steps are in place as precautions and safety measures to avoid horrific incidents such as this one. I was deeply saddened by how uneasy I felt walking through the airport at LAX. The most devastating aspect to my travels this past weekend came on my trip back to Columbus on Sunday. As I handed my license and boarding pass to the TSA agent to go through security, I looked her in the eye and it was almost understood that we both knew exactly what I was feeling; guilt. I felt guilty about going through the normal motions while this young woman was most likely feeling an immense amount of pain and loss for her coworker. Was it appropriate to say how sorry I was for her loss? Did she even know Hernandez? Was she scared to be doing her job? These were the types of questions running rampant through my mind. The most important thought and question running through my mind throughout my travels to and from LAX this past weekend was, will we ever be able to safely and calmly travel without worrying that the airport we are at or the plane we are boarding will be the next destination of destruction? That’s yet to be seen.

Beauty pageants more than just an appearance contest

Last summer, a friend of mine asked me to join a community service student organization she was starting. The point Shahed Al-asadi of Inspire al-asadi.3@osu.edu OSU was to come up with various projects OSU students can work on once a week for an hour to give back to the community. Inspire, which was started in August, has the potential to become a huge student organization and an import asset of this university. Alex Chudik, a third-year in business, is the co-president of Inspire along with Jake Larkin, a fourth-year in engineering. The club’s mission is to “provide others with the opportunity to give without having to go very far to do it. We strive to encourage our members to make a difference in fun and easy ways,” Chudik said. I wanted to be a part of the action. Some of the projects students work on are Sole Hope, an organization dedicated to putting closed-toe shoes on African children, and another organization that helps children in foster care feel comforted, called My Very Own Blanket. The student organization also strives to improve to provide outside organizations with service events for their members as well. Inspire members come together once a week for an hour to put aside their own problems and help improve the lives of people in need. Please visit www.inspireosu.com or email InspireOSU@gmail.com to become a member. Also, check out the group’s Twitter @InspireOSU and Facebook page.

The world of pageantry is a land of hairspray, beauty and contention. Nothing polarizes a group as much as the argument of the nature of beauty pageants. Kathleen Martini Are they martini.35@osu.edu empowering celebrations of women, or are they objectifying competitions for approval? This past weekend Madison Gesiotto, a fourth-year at Ohio State, won the title of Miss Ohio USA 2014, and I had the privilege of competing beside her and more than 70 other women from across the state. Every woman I met was incredibly beautiful in her own way. Each one had the confidence to get out on stage in front of a packed house in nothing but a bathing suit and high heels. That is strength, let me tell you. I know some of pageantry’s greatest opposition (most of them are related to me) and its greatest support. From where I sit, pageants are fun. I get to put on makeup, wear shiny dresses, and talk to a bunch of people I otherwise would have never met. Where else can you do that and still be socially acceptable? The trouble starts after the preliminary competition, when the top 15 women are named and about 80 percent of the contestants are left disappointed. More trouble when the top 5 are named and again at the end of the night when all but one woman are left without a sash. There are some women who take that decision as a personal slight, an indicator that they aren’t beautiful enough, charming enough, good enough. This is where pageantry gets its bad reputation. The preliminary competition for this particular pageant consists of a 90-second interview with one panel of three judges, another 90-second

The event was held in Portsmouth, Ohio, Nov. 8 and 9. interview with the other three judges, and one minute total of stage time in a swimsuit and evening gown in front of all six judges, your family, God and everybody else in the theater. Four minutes. That’s all you have to convince six people who don’t know you at all that they should put a crown on your head. There’s a lot you can do in those four minutes, but I’ll tell you what you can’t do. You can’t show someone how you care for your little brother when he has the flu. You can’t tell someone how it feels to work two jobs to pay for school while taking a full course load. You can’t display

your kindness, your tenacity, your love or your compassion. You can’t show someone who you really are. Pageants are like job interviews. Actually, they are job interviews: you’re interviewing for the position of title holder. Just because you don’t get a particular internship or co-op doesn’t mean you’re any less of a person. The same holds true with pageants. Pageants are for showing how wonderful you are with a bunch of other wonderful women. Just because you don’t win doesn’t mean you’re any less wonderful.

Billy Ireland Cartoon Library to relaunch in new facility Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu Behind two swinging green doors, the archive of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum rests on towering moveable shelving units that allow for maximum storage space. “We only have so many square feet,” said Jenny E. Robb, the library’s curator, with a laugh. That is about to change. The library is set to move to its new facility in Sullivant Hall this weekend, which will be about 30,000 square feet, according to an article from The Columbus Dispatch, providing greater access to the library’s archive, which Robb said is the largest collection of cartoon art in the world. Along with additional movable units, the new facility will allow for three exhibition galleries and the use of a state-of-the-art multipurpose seminar room for events and programs, Robb said. The library is slated to hold a festival of cartoon art from Thursday to Sunday in celebration of the reopening of the library and museum on Saturday. The scheduled events include a screening of the comic documentary “Stripped” and speaking events with cartoonists Jeff Smith, Paul Pope, Matt Bors, Eddie Campbell, Stephan Pastis, Brian Basset, Kazu Kibuishi and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, among others. In an August article, The Lantern reported that the renovation budget was set at $30 million but that donations could be given through the “But for Ohio State” campaign. The Lantern also reported that the widow of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz, Jean Schulz, would match donations up to $2.5 million, and Lawrence, an OSU alum, and Isabel Barnett donated $6 million to the project. “We receive a lot of donations,” Robb said. “We receive a lot of gifts from people who do not have any connections to Ohio State other than that they’re cartoonists or they’re cartoon collectors and they want their collections to come here.”

The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum is slated to move into its new facility in Sullivant Hall this weekend and is scheduled to hold a festival of cartoon art from Nov. 14-17. The library got its start when OSU alumnus Milton Caniff, cartoonist of the comic strips “Terry and the Pirates” and “Steve Canyon,” wanted his collection to come to OSU. The library’s founding curator, Lucy Caswell, cataloged Caniff’s works at the university in 1977, Robb said. Robb said Caniff and Caswell realized there were not many institutions collecting popular culture materials, specifically comic-related materials, and said Caniff thought OSU should be the place to do so. “Comic books and strips have long not been

considered worthy of academic and museum archiving,” said Frederick Aldama, an arts and humanities professor at OSU and author of “Your Brain on Latino Comics: From Gus Arriola to Los Bros Hernandez” and “Multicultural Comics: From Zap to Blue Beetle.” “Archiving comics is just as significant as preserving original manuscripts of Shakespeare.” Robb said Caniff asked some of his fellow cartoonists to contribute to the collection. This included works from cartoonists such as Walt Kelly

of the comic strip “Pogo” and Will Eisner of “The Spirit” comics. “From a very small start of one collection, we’ve grown into the largest collection of this kind of material in the world,” Robb said. The library was first established in two converted classrooms in the Journalism Building, according to the library’s website. Along with the Fine Arts Library, the library then resided at 27 W. 17th Ave., adjacent to the Wexner Center, and took over 6,808 square feet. The archive catalogues more than 300,000 pieces of original art, 45,000 books, 67,000 serial and comic book titles, 3,000 linear feet of manuscript materials and nearly 18,000 Japanese comics known as manga, according to the library’s website. The library also has a newspaper comic strip collection, the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art collection, that includes at least 2.5 million newspaper clippings, pages and sections, Robb said. Scholars and fans of comics access the library because there is an interest in studying popular culture present in the archive, Robb said. “All of us are consumers of popular culture,” she said. “As such, scholars are interested in studying it because it is such an important part of everybody’s day-to-day lives.” Clayton Funk, an assistant professor in the department of arts administration, education and policy at OSU, said he brings students to the library in order to view popular culture present in archived advertisements. “(Popular culture) is not elite,” Funk said. “It’s what everybody knows (it), and because everybody knows it, then I think it’s important enough to talk about.” As the collection expands, Robb said that when accepting or acquiring a collection, they have to be selective of what they take. “We can’t take everything,” Robb said. “But we do want to make sure this material gets preserved.”
