Several rusty, metal steam vents sprout from the ground around campus, issuing potentially hazardous and slightly acidic steam.

A group of engineering students — Engineers for Community Service — has noticed the pipes. The students contend that the vents are dangerous but, moreover, that they’re unsightly.

“The purpose of this project isn’t due to safety concerns. The purpose is that these are an eyesore,” said Steve Ottobre, a fifth-year in chemical engineering. “They’re just ugly. They’re these rusty metal pieces of junk sticking out of the ground.”

Ottobre is working with Lisa Reisenauer, a fourth-year in chemical engineering, to lead a group of students who want to turn one of the vents into a work of art.

The project is in its beginning stages, but Roger Dzwonczyk, a clinical associate professor advising the group, said one idea is to build a statue of Woody Hayes with steam coming out of his ears.

“The object was to make something interesting to look at and make a sort of dynamic art piece,” Dzwonczyk said. “We’re trying to make this a sort of interdisciplinary project for Ohio State.”

The vents function as a release for steam from underground tunnels. McCracken Power Plant produces steam that is transported through underground pipes to buildings throughout campus. Rain and ground water penetrate the tunnels housing the pipes. When the water makes contact with the pipes, it vaporizes and is released through the vents.

“It’s like a cloud just lifting out of the ground,” Ottobre said. “Inhaling it is not a problem.”

The vent the group will focus on is located at the north end of Ohio Stadium off Woody Hayes Drive.

The student group leaders say that particular vent was capped with a yellow fixture concealing the dangerous part because the spewing steam burned several people leaving the stadium.

Police and other officials could not confirm that allegation. But water changes from liquid to gas at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and burns form on skin at

temperatures higher than 140 degrees, according to Mayo Clinic’s website.

The steam is also slightly acidic. Dzwonczyk said the steam contains carbonic acid, which could potentially injure passersby.

Other steam vents are located by Morrill and Lincoln Tower on Cannon Drive, and in between

Less than a month after robbing the U.S. Bank in the Ohio Union, the suspect dubbed the “church lady bandit” has struck again.

The robbery happened at about 1:36 p.m. Sunday at the Charter One Bank inside Kroger at 5727 Emporium Square on the Northeast Side, according to the FBI. The suspect walked to the teller counter where two tellers were waiting for customers. Pretending to talk on her cell phone as she approached the desk, the woman told the teller that she needed cash and was robbing the bank. Officials at the FBI said they don’t think she indicated she was armed, nor did she appear to be.

The robber at Kroger did not pass a note to the teller like the woman who robbed the Union did on Oct. 20. But the result was the same — the teller complied and gave the robber money.

FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas could not disclose the amount of money the suspect stole.

“Typical bank robbers get less than $3,000, and the typical amount they get generally falls in the $1,000 to $2,000 range,” Trombitas said. He said the Kroger suspect’s loot was less than $3,000.

After receiving the money, the robber fled, though officials said it is unclear where she went or how she got away.

“Most likely a car was involved,” Trombitas said. “We are checking Kroger’s parking lot cameras and cameras from nearby businesses.”

Trombitas said investigators don’t know if the suspect is getting outside help but said it’s plausible.

The “church lady bandit” is described as a medium-built black woman, about 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-7 and in her 30s or 40s. For the Kroger robbery, she shed the wig she wore during the Union robbery, opting for a dark baseball cap, glasses, a dark T-shirt and dark pants.

Fourth-year a Rhodes Scholarship finalist dYlan tUssel Lantern reporter tussel.2@osu.edu Fourth-year Surili Sheth is one step closer to the Rhodes Scholarship. If she wins, she will be the second woman from Ohio State to receive the scholarship since it became available to women in 1976.

The scholarship’s organizers break the country into 16 regions and choose 14 finalists from each region. Sheth is one of 14 chosen from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, and has a chance of being one of two finalists in the region who will win the prestigious award and study at the University of Oxford.

Sheth, studying economics and political science, wasn’t going to apply until her adviser suggested the award to her in an e-mail during the summer. At the time, Sheth said, she was volunteering in the slums of India.

“I was like, ‘Well OK, I can do that. I can work on it this summer when I come back. When is the deadline?’” she said. “And my adviser was like, ‘Oh, it’s in three days.’”

She has focused her work in recent years on improving the quality of life in slum neighborhoods in India, sparked by visits to her family’s home in Gujarat, India. It was in those slums that she completed the lengthy application for the award.

“I was sitting in the back of Seva Café, working on my personal statement and the whole application and everything. The interview was like a week later,” Sheth said. “It was funny because they were asking me about Seva Café, and I was sitting inside it.”

The seeds for her work were planted in summer 2006 — after her junior year in high school — when her classmates from the U.S. took a trip to India.

“I was already in India with my family that summer, but I joined the high school trip,” Sheth said. “Part of it was a service trip to south India to a fishing village that had been hit by the tsunami.”

That summer, Sheth and her classmates met then-President Abdul Kalam.

After her first year at OSU, Sheth went on another family trip to India. She connected with a non-governmental organization in the area and began teaching English to children who lived in a nearby slum.

A member of T eam Cappadocia practices for a robot competition Saturday afternoon in Adelaide, Australia.

T he team, based out of Ankara, T urkey, features several Ohio State engineers who helped build the robots.

OSU engineers to compete in war robot competition david sco tt Lantern reporter scott.1024@osu.edu Three Ohio State engineers are gearing up in Australia this week to compete in an international robotics competition with a grand prize of $750,000.

The competition — called MAGIC 2010 — is a new contest geared toward developing “teams of robots that can operate autonomously on the battlefield in dangerous situations, keeping soldiers out of harm’s way,” according to a U.S. Army press release.

The U.S. and Australian departments of defense host the competition, also known as the Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge.

Umit Ozgüner, an electrical and computer engineering professor at OSU, leads OSU’s competitors, who are part of a team organized by the Turkish military electronics company ASELSAN. The team, named Team Cappadocia, includes members from 0910_Polaris_FunHereAd_1125x105_b.ai 1 three Turkish universities.

Ozgüner said the distance between OSU and Turkey, more than 5,000 miles, made teamwork a challenge.

“The most difficult part of this challenge has been the distance between the group in Turkey and us here in the U.S.,” Ozgüner said. “We’ve had weekly teleconferences, and the team has gone to Ankara twice.”

The trips to Turkey, however, were no vacation.

“We had some intense practice runs,” Ozgüner said. “We were going in at 8 a.m. and coming back after midnight some days.”

The competition is made up of three phases that increase in difficulty. The team has three-and-a-half hours to navigate the robots through three courses, which include mapping a “village,” identifying static and mobile obstacles, and avoiding a simulated “sniper.”

Team Cappadocia will attempt to complete the competition with six robots, which can cost from 10/1/10

2:20 PM

Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has endorsed a sports psychology book recently released by two Ohio State faculty members.

Todd Kays and Leif Smith are co-authors of “Sports Psychology for Dummies,” which was released in August. Kays was the first sports psychology fellow at OSU, and Smith is the head of sports psychology services at OSU. “It’s about getting the most out of the mental aspect of sports participation,” Smith said. “We cover things such as goal-setting, relaxation, motivation, how to be confident. We talk about the art of swagger.”

Smith, who has been working with OSU athletic teams since 2001, approached his mentor, Kays, about writing a sports psychology book four years ago.

“There’s no ‘dummies’ books out there on it, and it’s an easy topic to write,” Smith said. “I said, ‘Hey, let’s write a book together. There’s nothing out there on the topic,’ and so Todd (Kays) jumped on board and was excited about it.”

Although “Sports Psychology for Dummies” isn’t the first book to discuss the topic, Kays said it is different from other sports psychology books.

“There’s a lot of sports psychology books that discuss more theories,” Kays said. “We wanted to write an applied book that athletes, coaches and parents could pick up today and begin to apply immediately to their life.”

Kays has been involved in sports psychology for the past 16 years and helped establish a fellowship program at OSU in the mid-1990s when he saw the opportunity to combine two of his passions.

“I was finishing my doctoral program and, at the time, it just seemed to fit based on my personality and my experience,” Kays said. “It seemed to be a good combination of counseling and sports, and I just really wanted to incorporate both of those into my career path.”

Kays runs his own practice, Athletic Mind Institute, in Dublin, and also teaches OSU’s

Psychology 420: Psychology Applied to Sport.

“Sports Psychology for Dummies” is a required text.

“It’s really interesting that he wrote it, and we get to read it and see him in class,” said Lindsey Hasis, a student in his class and co-president of the Psychology Club at OSU. “I T odd Kays like it a lot. There are some terms that are different from what we’ve learned in class because it’s obviously more generalized to the public, but I think it’s really useful and I think it’s a great tool.”

Tressel endorsed the book in a press release, “Leif (Smith) and Todd (Kays) have compiled a terrific resource for L eif Smith serious competitors. Every encounter that awaits the coach and player is addressed. This book needs to be on every coach’s desk and in every player’s locker.”

Smith said the book is a natural fit for coaches like Tressel.

“Jim (Tressel) has always been very easy to work with,” Smith said. “He’s very psychologically oriented in what he’s teaching his teams.”

Neither Smith nor Kays was sure about the number of copies that have been sold, but both said they are pleased with the response they have received from readers.

“The publisher seems to be really, really happy, so I guess that’s a good thing. We are selling a lot of them to college teams, high school teams, coaches,” Kays said. “I’m just happy we’re getting a lot of positive feedback from the people who are buying it and who are using it.”

Kays and Smith will sign copies of their book at the campus Barnes and Noble bookstore on Nov. 26.

Robot from 2A

Robots cost between $10K and $20K $10,000 to $20,000 to build, Ozgüner said.

Jim Overholt, senior research scientist in robotics for the U.S. Army, will judge the competition. Scoring is based on factors including time, the level of human intervention and execution of the missions.

Overholt said he believes competitions simulating real warfare are instrumental to combat.

“We’re seeing a wide variety of uses for robots, including surveillance, autonomous fuel convoys and road-side bomb diffusion,” Overholt said in an e-mail. “At MAGIC 2010, we’re focusing on mapping a huge space and having few human operators overseeing a team of robots to complete that task.”

Overholt emphasized the importance of developing technology that doesn’t require risking lives.

“Right now, there are about 8,000 robots currently fielded in war efforts,” Overholt said. “At first, we’ve developed robots to do the ‘dull, dirty and dangerous work’ to keep our soldiers safe.

Quite frankly, we’d much rather lose a robot in a war effort than

Students to test flow rate, pH levels, temperature the RPAC and stadium, among others. There is one steam vent in the middle of the road by the OSU medical center. The group’s leaders said they might tackle other vents in the future if their first project is successful.

Despite the hazards, the group is more concerned with the aesthetic of the vents. In its effort to transform an eyesore into art, the group has sought professors from the art department who specialize in art and technology.

“I’m excited about the idea of using the steam as art,” said Ken Rinaldo, associate professor of art.

Dzwonczyk contacted Rinaldo and his wife, Amy Youngs, who is also an associate professor of art, to collaborate with the engineers on the project.

“We obviously have to maintain the functionality of the vent, too,” Ottobre said.

The student group met for the second time Thursday. The students divided into groups that will study the steam.

Students will test the steam’s flow rate, pH levels and temperature. They hope to use thermal paint

Scholar from 1A

Student researched education in India Sheth said. “In these communities, you can’t just address health alone and you can’t just address education alone.”

Sheth planned a research project for the following summer.

She returned to India and administered household surveys in several slums to “gauge access, awareness and satisfaction with services provided

by NGOs, government and the government-NGO partnerships.”

Those services included education, health and access to clean water.

“One time, I was sitting in the urban resources office. These women came in and they were yelling, ‘There is gutter water coming out of our water pipes!

This is horrible! We can’t drink water! We can’t shower! We can’t do anything!’” Sheth said.

Because the NGO in that neighborhood worked with the government, officials quickly solved the problem.

“In the other slum where the NGO isn’t partnered with the government, this takes very long, even when you lodge a formal complaint,” Sheth said.

That summer, Sheth stayed with a host family in a village during the Navratri Festival, which consists of nine nights of dancing.

“They had placed two cots next to each other for me and the host mom to sleep on. The little

a soldier. But now, with efforts like MAGIC, we’re looking to get more out of our robots.”

Ozgüner’s team, made up of six researchers and graduate students, has participated both internationally and in autonomous driving competitions but is relatively new to robots. In 2004 and 2007, the team participated in challenges hosted by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Project Agency.

“We made it to the finals in all of them but never won,” Ozgüner said. “We’re hopeful, but interestingly enough, we don’t have much experience in robots. This is sort of a test run for us.”

Team Cappadocia members hope to top their four competitors for the grand prize. Regardless of results, Overholt said the members should be proud.

“Team Cappadocia should be extremely proud of their success in reaching this final evaluation in Australia,” Overholt said. “It’s an experience that I’m sure none of them will ever forget.”

The top three teams will be awarded prizes of $750,000, $250,000 and $100,000, respectively, at next week’s Land Warfare Conference in Brisbane, Australia.

Bandit from 1A

Suspect not likely a drug-user, FBI agent says The “church lady bandit” has been linked to at least eight bank robberies since 2006: four in 2010, three in 2008 and one in 2006.

The FBI, Columbus Police and OSU Police are working together to solve the robberies, said Lt. Rick Green of OSU Police, lead investigator of the Ohio Union robbery.

Trombitas said the investigators from the three departments have followed up on more than a dozen tips and have more to sort through.

Sgt. Shaun Laird of the Columbus Police robbery squad said tips are usually just names of individuals who have some resemblance to

to determine temperature change — a more artistic way to perform a basic lab procedure. For example, a scarlet block “O” might emerge on a painted gray vent when its temperature increases.

The students will collect condensation, liquid formed when the steam cools, from the steam to test its acidity. They will water plants with that water, and if the plants survive, the steam might have potential for other uses.

Reisenauer said one of the main reasons the group chose to do this project was to use what students learn in the classroom and apply skills to real situations.

“After all, that’s why we’re learning it, so we can use it,” Reisenauer said.

Before tests begin, though, the group needs to raise enough money for the lab procedures. The group’s leaders are lobbying organizations such as the Undergraduate Student Government, Facilities Operations and Development, and the university itself, among others, for money.

Facilities Operations and Development actually brought the issue to the group’s attention two years ago, but the student group’s leaders said it’s unclear whether they will get money from that department.

girl — they’d named her Nancy — she was 3 years old and she insisted on sleeping next to me,” Sheth said. “I remember she woke up in the middle of the night and saw that she had rolled over onto her mom’s cot. So she got really annoyed and rolled back over so she was sleeping next to me.”

Sheth went back to India from January to June this year to research education in India.

“I was helping to develop interactive English modules to go in and help these kids learn basic sets of English vocabulary,” Sheth said.

On campus, Sheth co-founded and serves as co-president for the International Development Coalition, and she is an Undergraduate Research Office peer contact.

Brian Winer, director of the Honors Collegium at OSU, said Sheth is a model student.

“As director of the collegium, I know that Surili has been an outstanding young scholar,” he said.

“She’s a great example for the student body to know that, even as a student at Ohio State, you can go out and do great things.”

If Sheth wins the Rhodes Scholarship, she will be the sixth student from OSU to earn it and she will spend the next two years at the University of Oxford to pursue a master’s degree in development studies.

Dana Kuchem, program manager for the Honors Collegium, said Sheth is an accomplished scholar and a genuine person.

“On the bottom of all her e-mails, her tagline that she has is ‘Love all, serve all,’” Kuchem said. “And I think that’s really how she lives her life.”

Campus robbery suspects released betHanY braKeMeYer Lantern reporter brakemeyer.1@osu.edu Police are still looking for two men who reportedly robbed an Ohio State student near campus last week.

A 19-year-old OSU student told police two men robbed him at about 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the parking lot behind Harrison House Apartments, near Neil Avenue and Tuttle Park Place. One man held the student at gunpoint while the other man searched him and took his phone, keys and wallet, according to reports.

After stealing the items, the suspects ran away.

OSU Police officer Chuck Gierach was first to respond to the scene and found two men matching the suspect descriptions nearby on West Norwich Avenue, according to reports.

He drew his gun and ordered the two men to put their hands up and get on their knees.

the suspect, although “the quality of the leads generally depends on the quality of the video from the robbery.”

In the case of the Charter One Bank robbery, Laird described the video as “not good.”

For the Union robbery, “the cameras distorted the suspect’s face, which gave it some masculine characteristics,” Trombitas said. “We received some tips that the suspect was actually a male, but there has never been an eye-witness who said it’s a man.”

One reason why the string of robberies is different from typical bank hold-ups is because women commit less than 7 percent of robberies nationwide, Trombitas said.

He added he does not think the suspect is a drug-user, as she takes extended layoffs between robberies. Drug users commit about 95 percent of robberies, he said.

OSU Police officers Marjorie Rizalvo and Adam Tabor and officers from Columbus Police arrived soon after to arrest the men. After questioning the suspects at the scene — and after the student failed to identify them as the robbers — police released the two men, said Columbus Police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner.

Columbus Police found the student’s wallet but were unable to find his phone and keys.

The victim described the suspects as two black males between the ages of 15 and 25. One of the suspects was described as about 5-foot-7.

“They’re looking for a quick fix,” Trombitas said. “They spend the money, get the fix, then rob again.”

Despite the abnormalities in the robberies, Trombitas remains confident the law will catch up to the “church lady bandit.”

“We will catch her, it’s only a matter of time,” he said. “And when we do, we will have a lot of questions for her.”

Carrie Carpenter, a media spokeswoman for Charter One Bank, declined to comment about the teller’s response and the bank robbery saying, “We leave all investigative information to local police agencies.”

Investigators ask anyone with information about the robberies to report tips to Crime Stoppers, the local police departments or the local FBI office.

arts&life Aiming for change with games Christian Peregrina Lantern reporter peregrina.1@osu.edu Hardcore gamers might defend the merits of beating the final boss in their favorite video game.

Others might call it a waste of time. Jane McGonigal, though, sees the potential to change the world.

McGonigal, who will be at Mershon Auditorium tonight as part of the First-Year Distinguished Speaker Series, is a world-renowned video game developer who takes gaming just as seriously as the students who find time to play games between — and sometimes during — class.

She is the director of game resource and development at the Institute for the Future, a nonprofit forecasting firm that creates games that turn realworld problems into online puzzles.

Her organization developed “Superstruct,” a multiplayer game in which players organize society to solve issues the world might have in 2019.

McGonigal was also behind “World Without Oil,” a simulation of a global oil crisis that aimed to prod players to change their energy habits.

“We want to learn from gamers what the future might be like,” McGonigal said. “So we often use blogs, videos, photos and social networks to create an immersive picture of the future, each bit of the future, a story told by a different person.”

The online games are open to gamers for a set number of weeks, each week highlighting a new challenge or mission.

“No one knows more about your future than you do, what you would do, what you hope for, what you are capable of making a reality,” McGonigal said.

“Our games are designed to empower individual gamers to add that expertise to a big, global view of the world we want to make five or 10 years from now.”

McGonigal said there are 500 million people in the world who play video games, and the average gamer spends 10 hours a week playing.

“If half the gamers in the world spend one hour a week on a game that connects to real-world issues, that would be 250 million hours a week,” McGonigal said. “That means gamers could collaborate

Researchers at New York University and IBM said it took roughly 100 million hours of work to build what Wikipedia is today.

McGonigal said video games bring out the best in people, giving them the chance to tackle complex problems. She will be sharing more of her findings on campus tonight.

First Year Experience has hosted its speaker series since 2003.

“I think it’s important for students to hear that you can take things that are fun, like playing games, and use them to address real problems in

the world,” said Julie Schultz, assistant director of Enrollment Services and First Year Experience.

The event has sparked interest in some firstyears who might otherwise have spent the time playing video games in residence halls.

“I think the situation in the game would have to be a perfect scenario to actually make some change,” said Jason Bir, a first-year in biology, at the Gateway Gamestop store. “But I plan to go because I would be interested in current concepts that she is working on.”

The event begins at 7:30 p.m. Free tickets are available at 120 Enarson Hall.

Group making meatless meals at RPAC Jamie Morgan Lantern reporter morgan.693@osu.edu Students woke up to song, dance and a free, fully prepared vegan breakfast on Saturday in a meeting room at the RPAC. The “Vegan Reflection Sessions” invite students to have a meal, listen to live Mantra rock, a genre of Indian music, and discuss the benefits of a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, said Gurjeet Babbar, coordinator for the ISKCON Yoga Circle, the organization leading the event.

“We decided to offer these because I feel like diet is a very integral part for a person that is trying to follow a life of compassion and trying to live a healthy life,” Babbar said. “You just become more conscious of what you eat and the living entity, and I really believe in the saying, ‘You are what you eat.’”

She said 10 to 15 students typically attend the cooking sessions, and past non-dairy and non-meat menus have included muffins with scrambled tofu, buckwheat pancakes with applesauce and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Nicole Swartz, a second-year

in human nutrition and regular attendee, said she loves the food, the atmosphere and finding new vegan recipes.

“I’m a big foodie anyway and I just keep going back because I really like it there, you know, because it’s a nice home-cooked meal,” Swartz said.

“We have to be very creative with some things we do and we just have a lot of fun with it.”

Babbar said she also provides a free, hands-on vegan cooking workshop at 7 p.m. every Tuesday in the RPAC’s Demo Kitchen and Meeting Room 1. She said she typically spends $20 to $50 a week on supplies, and students three to five culinary creations.

Brooke Lowrie, a third-year in civil engineering, said although she is not a vegetarian, she is always satisfied with the meals.

“All of the food is really good, and even though a meat dish is usually the main substance in my meals, when we do vegan cooking I never feel that the meal is missing anything or that it’s not as good,” she said.

Swartz said it’s hard to choose a favorite dish from past workshops but said she loved homemade ginger bread, along with an entree containing chickpeas and Indian spices,

if one is following a vegetarian diet you never have to work with obesity,” Babbar said.

The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd and Radiohead consist of amazing musicians and are known for having some of the most stellar live shows in history. But there is more to a mindblowing concert experience than just good music.

Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Nirvana relied on their excellent musicianship to draw crowds but are not known for having particularly intense visual effects. Bands like Muse, The Flaming Lips and OK Go, on the other hand, take full advantage of technology and crowd involvement, allowing the show to evolve beyond the music.

OK Go played in Columbus recently, and it inspired me to ponder this question: What makes one concert more memorable and impressive than others? What I came up with has little to do with the music, surprisingly.

“Supersonic” effects draw in the audience, transfixing them even if the

James Garcia garcia.299@osu.edu song is unrecognized — and if it’s the song you went to hear, the EMT’s should be on hand.

The Flaming Lips enter the stage through a psychedelic-colored vagina on a massive screen, and lead singer Wayne Coyne rolls around on the crowd in a human-sized hamster ball.

OK Go’s singer Damian Kulash plays a “campfire song” with his guitar and mic stand in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by his fans. When the band members return for their encore, with their backs to the audience, their jackets light up with LEDs, like a slot machine flipping through O’s, K’s and G’s, and perform with fuzzy neon glowing guitars.

Muse’s show is just surreal. The band members stand on platforms that rise and fall, and there are so many lasers, colorful lights and screens. You might think you’re in a James Cameron film.

Lasers are important.

Before some concerts, The Flaming Lips hand out laser pointers to the crowd, and at the climax of an intense breakdown, Coyne will ask everyone to point the lasers at him. He glows like an extraterrestrial fluorescent robot. He

Confetti is a must. Strobe lights are recommended. And fog is a basic necessity. But a 3-D video? That’s overachieving.

OK Go handed out free 3-D glasses to the crowd to watch the band’s viral music video for “White Knuckles” in a new dimension. The crowd went nuts. But the video had an error about 30 seconds in, which leads to the next element: improvisation. Bands should learn from Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-munching incident and just do what feels natural.

In the instance of technical difficulties, it is necessary to keep the crowd’s energy levels high.

OK Go’s solution was to act out a scene from “Les Miserables.” Humor is a bonus.

Adaptation to the environment is important too.

When The Flaming Lips performed in Pittsburgh in 2010, the band rigged microphones to the nearby train tracks. Coyne flipped out when a train came by. The crowd was excited by his excitement, and forgave him for stopping a song to listen to a train.

Did I mention confetti?

Confetti storms are like fireworks, only they won’t set the crowd ablaze. So it kills a few hundred trees — destroying an entire rainforest for a finale is totally worth it and adds an interesting pulpy flavor to the crowd’s beer.

If a band can play music well, good for it. But putting on a truly amazing show takes an extra level of talent and creativity, adding a whole other dimension to a band’s songs.

“I think it’s a cultural thing because in America almost everyone ate meat, but now there are issues growing (out) of going green, or being earthconscious and environment-conscious, and going local is another huge thing right now,” Swartz said.

Lowrie said although organizers never pressure attendees to convert to vegetarianism, her involvement has influenced her dietary outlook.

“It definitely has opened my eyes to this type of eating because before participating,” Lowrie said. “I was pretty oblivious to the different kinds of meals that can be prepared without meat.”

The Ohio State men’s basketball team doesn’t have a starting lineup.

Despite returning four starters from last season’s Sweet 16 squad, the team doesn’t have a set rotation and might not until Big Ten play starts Dec. 31, coach Thad Matta said.

Returners are guards William Buford, David Lighty and Jon Diebler,

and center Dallas Lauderdale. Figuring out the lineup might not be as easy as picking a fifth man.

“We have a lot of options that we can have to start the game off,” Lighty said. “Whoever (Matta) puts out there, I think we’ll all be comfortable with it.”

The most likely option seems to be the four veterans and freshman Jared Sullinger, the secondranked high school player, according to Scout. com. That lineup started the team’s exhibition game against Walsh on Sunday.

“I’ll state the obvious, he’s pretty good,” Diebler said of Sullinger. “His intensity in the paint is unbelievable.”

Lavender has last chance to leave her ideal legacy BEN AXELROD Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu In her first three seasons at Ohio State, Jantel Lavender has accomplished almost everything one could expect from the Cleveland-native center.

But OSU coach Jim Foster thinks her career is yet to be defined.

“I think Jantel’s career will be measured by championships more so than points scored,” Foster said.

Postseason success is the biggest element missing from Lavender’s resume. In Lavender’s time at OSU, only once has her team advanced past the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“We haven’t had the postseason run that we need to,” Lavender said. “Our team just has to be more strong and more together and, you know, more cohesive, for us to go far.”

Lavender enters the 2010-11 season as one of the most decorated players in college basketball. She was selected to the Associated Press Preseason All-American team and the watch list for the Wooden Award, which is awarded to the best male and female athletes in college basketball.

She was also named the Preseason Big Ten Player of the Year. Should Lavender win her fourth straight Big Ten Player of the Year award after the season, she would be the first in conference history to do so.

Lavender said she has her sights set beyond just earning all-conference honors.

“The goal is to be a national player of the year,” Lavender said.

She has all the tools to earn that honor. In her first three seasons at OSU, Lavender has averaged

2B

The Ohio State women’s basketball program has dominated the Big Ten for much of the last decade.

The Buckeyes have won or earned a share of the regular season conference title for six straight seasons and have won the Big Ten Tournament three of the past six years.

Its success, however, has stopped there.

Only once in those six seasons, in 2008-09, did the Buckeyes make it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament, when they advanced to the Sweet 16 before coming up short against Stanford. Last season, OSU entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Dayton Regional and made an early exit in the tournament after an 87-67 loss at the hands of No. 7 Mississippi State.

OSU coach Jim Foster disputed the notion that his teams have failed to meet postseason expectations but said he was disappointed with last season’s ending.

“I thought two years ago we did have success.

That team went to the round of 16, it was very young,” Foster said. “Last year’s team, there was a great feeling of frustration. We weren’t very mature last year.”

This season might be the Buckeyes’ best shot at overcoming their postseason struggles, as the team returns all five starters from last year’s squad, including senior center Jantel Lavender and junior point guard Samantha Prahalis. Both were named to the preseason watch list for the Wooden Award, given to the best male and female players in college basketball.

Lavender, the three-time reigning Big Ten Player of the Year and an Associated Press preseason All-American selection, said the Buckeyes lost focus during last year’s NCAA Tournament.

“I think it takes a mentally tough team to really push forward and come over that hump,” Lavender said. “We had a mishap in where our tournament went last year with some things going on, but I think as a team we have to grow mentally tough and know that things like that may happen and be able to overcome adversity and be able to play through anything.”

Prahalis, who has started every game at point guard for OSU since her debut in 2008, took the blame for last season’s disappointing end.

“I didn’t step up as a leader as I should’ve,” Prahalis said. “As a point guard, you’re supposed to lead this team any way you can and will your team to win, and I didn’t get it done. I didn’t get it done by a lot. It was really a personal thing for me.”

In the Buckeyes’ loss to Mississippi State, Prahalis committed 10 turnovers, was called for a technical foul and eventually fouled out. Prahalis said that during the offseason, one of her goals was to improve her temperament on the court.

“I definitely worked on being mentally tough, being there for my teammates, maturing and just, you know, keeping my cool,” Prahalis said. “Not everything’s going to go my way.”

Lavender said the team’s success would rely on more than individual accomplishments from her and Prahalis.

“We have individuals, yeah that’s great, but I’m more what my team can accomplish and what we can go down in school history as,” Lavender said.

“I don’t think we’ve gotten to that point yet. I want to get there.”

Prahalis is aware of the impact that postseason failure would have on her team’s legacy.

“Postseason is everything. We can win the Big Ten a thousand times, but if you don’t have national rings, it doesn’t sit well,” Prahalis said.

“Do you want to be remembered as a great team that couldn’t get it done, or do you want to get it done and be a great team?”

20 points and 10.3 rebounds per game and is 534 points shy of Katie Smith’s OSU career scoring record, as well as 63 rebounds short of Tracey Hall’s OSU career rebounding record.

Lavender said individual accomplishments come second to team goals.

“If my team needs me to get 30, or if my team needs me to get 18 points and 25 rebounds, then that’s what I’m trying to do,” she said.

Lavender’s career has gotten help from junior point guard Samantha Prahalis, who is on pace to break the school’s career assist record this season.

“Sammy in the open floor is very, very talented, she really is, and you like a complement to that,” Foster said. “Not often is that complement a (center). Usually you see guards finishing plays. To have a center who can run like that, catch like that and finish like that, I think that’s a little different.”

Foster compared the chemistry between his point guard and center to that of NBA Hall of Fame members and former Utah Jazz teammates Karl Malone and John Stockton.

“That’s a fair one,” Prahalis said when asked about the comparison. “He always says that.”

Lavender said she agreed with the evaluation but offered her own comparison for the duo.

“I always try to say, you know, (Steve) Nash and (Amar’e) Stoudemire,” Lavender said. “I think that his comparison is just something to make us see where we are in our game.”

After this season, Lavender will take her professional-ready game to the next level, where she is projected to be a top-five pick in the 2011 WNBA Draft. But first, she has some unfinished business.

“I don’t think that we’ve gotten to the place that I want to be, you know, as a far as a team,” Lavender said. “I want a national championship.”

Freshman point guard Aaron Craft sets up the offense during Ohio State’s 102-56 victory in Saturday’s exhibition game against Walsh.

Compared to Big Ten foes, Ohio State’s non-conference schedule appears easy BLAKE WILLIAMS Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s basketball team does not play a challenging non-conference schedule this season.

OSU plays one ranked team (No. 11 Florida) and only three teams that participated in the NCAA Tournament last March, all of whom made first-round exits (Oakland, Florida, Florida State). The combined 2009-10 record of the squads OSU will face before Big Ten play is 216-230, good for a .484 winning percentage.

Their opponents’ poor records aren’t bothering the team, though.

“It’s something I don’t really worry about,” senior guard David Lighty said. “I just go out there and play the games we have and try to get better every game.”

Other contenders for the conference championship are trying to get better by playing stiffer competition. Michigan State, picked to win the conference by the media late last month, plays opponents that boast a .610 winning percentage from last season. Illinois isn’t far behind, as its non-conference challengers won at a .556 clip last year.

The fact that other teams have a more difficult slate of games leading up to conference play doesn’t give them an advantage in the Big Ten, coach Thad Matta said.

“I would say that the teams that maybe have a more challenging schedule don’t have four returning players and six new guys,” he said.

MSU and Illinois return 10 and seven players, respectively.

Though Matta doesn’t see an advantage, other coaches do.

“We go out there and we compete with some of the top teams in the country,” Illinois coach Bruce Weber said at Illinois media day. “If we can … be successful, we’re going to live up to some of the expectations of being a top-20 team.”

Before Big Ten play begins, Illinois plays four teams ranked in the Associated Press preseason poll (No. 9 North Carolina, No. 12 Gonzaga, No. 15 Missouri and No. 24 Texas), more than any other team in the conference.

Lighty emphasized the difficulty of conference play, regardless of the team’s opposition up to that point.

“Coming into Big Ten play, we all know each other,” he said. “They’re going to know our plays, (and) we’re going to know their plays. It’s about who’s going out there and getting the job done.”

MSU coach Tom Izzo said conference games are more important than the games leading up to them.

“We have a great non-conference schedule, and I think the conference schedule is as good as it’s been maybe in all 20-some years I’ve been in the Big Ten,” he said at Michigan State media day.

Weber pointed out that polls only mean so much.

“What’s a preseason poll? It’s potential,” he said.

According to voters, potential is something OSU’s opponents lack.

Lineup from 1B

Buckeyes host North Carolina A&T on Friday in season opener Intensity aside, Matta would not commit to starting Sullinger.

“We may go in a different way,” he said. “I love the fact that things don’t always go the way (the team) thinks they’re going to go.”

Another potential starter is freshman point guard Aaron Craft. Moving Craft into the lineup might move one of the post players, Sullinger or Lauderdale, to the bench.

“I’ve been extremely pleased with what Aaron has brought to the table,” Matta said. “He’s actually surprised me (with) his understanding, his savvy.”

Craft plays the position with the most questions for OSU, which lost last season’s point guard, Evan Turner, to the NBA. “We have a lot of freshmen who are capable of running that position, and obviously Will and Dave

and even myself have been handling the ball a lot more,” Diebler said.

Despite the lack of a clear-cut ball-handler, Matta is not worried.

“I think everybody is more concerned about the point guard position than I am,” he said.

Diebler also isn’t worried about finding a player to fill the void Turner left.

“I think it will be better if we have multiple guys who can handle the spot because obviously for defenses it will be harder to match up against us,” he said.

Lighty’s ability to play virtually every other position on the floor gives Matta some flexibility in his rotations.

“They’ve been preparing me to play all type of roles, playing big if I have to, playing the wing and playing the point,” Lighty said. “I’ll probably be everywhere on the court this year.”

OSU opens its regular season Friday against North Carolina A&T. The question of who will be joining Lighty on the court at tip-off remains.

“I have no clue,” he said.
