Pickup game spurs assault report at RPAC KAYLA BYLER Managing editor of design byler.18@osu.edu Three men were reported for assault after they got in a fight during a two-on-two basketball game at the RPAC Sunday at about 5:30 p.m.

Two of the men got into a verbal argument over whether a foul had occurred, which escalated into a physical fight involving the third man and left “several significant blood stain areas,” on the gym floor, according to a University Police report.

A crowd of bystanders was eventually able to stop the fight and police were notified, the report said.

One of the men sustained a one-inch-long cut between his eyebrows and his front tooth was broken in half, and he had several small cuts on both hands. The individual was transported to the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center to receive stitches for the cut on his face.

Another man had significant bruising and swelling on his face, in addition to small cuts on his ear, elbow and both of his hands.

Police discovered only one of the individuals was an Ohio State student, while the other two had both used another student’s BuckID to gain entry into the RPAC. Officers were unable to determine a primary aggressor in the incident and both individuals received similar injuries, so no charges were immediately pressed and the involved individuals were

Though some Ohio State officials tout the nutritional value and the variety of options available at on-campus dining halls, some students said they aren’t impressed with what they see on the nutrition facts labels.

“Ohio State tries to make it seem like they have healthy options, especially at the RPAC, but everything’s actually really bad for you if you look at the nutrition,” said Emily Harris, a second-year in biology.

Harris also said it is even harder to eat right on the weekends since limited dining halls are open.

On Saturdays and Sundays, 10 of the 29 dining locations on campus are closed, according to the Dining Services website.

Kaitlyn Cappel, a second-year in strategic communication, also said nutritious options on campus could improve.

“I definitely think (campus food) could be more healthy. I think there are healthy options, but I also think that they portray some things as being healthy, but when you look at the labels, it’s really not,” Cappel said.

Recently OSU’s Dining Services released a few statistics that “show students are making healthier choices when it comes time to eat on campus,” according to OSU news briefs posted on the onCampus website, a university faculty and staff news source.

“In the last three years, fresh fruit and vegetable sales have increased 40 percent,” the list reads. “For every burger sold in the Ohio Union Market, two salads are purchased. More fruits and vegetables are sold than chips and French fries combined.”

Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said in an email that information came from “register sales at all (Dining Services) locations, but the system is really set up to track inventory, not trends,” so there was not “broader” information available.

Gina Forster, a registered dietitian and assistant director of nutrition and health for OSU Dining Services, said the increased availability of fruits and vegetables on campus and the fact that people have generally become more health conscious in recent years contributed to an increase in healthy eating.

“There’s just more information out there about the benefits of eating healthy,” she said. “This generation is growing up getting those messages sent to us via

email, via social media — all the time. It’s in our faces how important it is.”

But French fries and other “unhealthy” foods likely won’t disappear from dining halls anytime soon.

“There are certain options that are never going to go away,” Forster said. “We are here to cater to the desires of the students. That’s just like any restaurant.”

One option, the Margherita pizza at Marketplace on South Campus, has 1,412 calories and 134 percent of the recommended daily value for sodium, according to Dining Services nutrition information online.

Others pack in the calories as well — a cookie sundae at Mirror Lake Creamery has 899 calories and 115 percent of the recommended daily value for saturated fat, and a buffalo chicken wrap at Sloopy’s Diner has 1,350 calories, 183 percent of the recommended daily value for sodium and 107 percent of the recommended daily value for total fat, according to the nutrition information.

Although healthier options are always available, the unhealthy choices are meant to mimic the real world, where people have to choose for themselves, Forster said.

“If we took all (the unhealthy options) away, what are you going to learn?” she said.

Students’ access to nutrition information regarding the foods on campus is a work in progress, as not all nutrition information for all locations is available online yet, Forster said.

“We are probably about 60 percent finished with that, and the majority of that 40 percent (left) is the Traditions (dining),” Forster said.

Forster said that information should be fully posted by next year.

In the meantime, a social media campaign is slated to take place soon to encourage OSU students to eat right, Forster said, and informational packets are being given out to help increase students’ knowledge about healthy eating.

One of the pamphlets is set to feature recipes students can make in their residence halls using items found at the convenience stores on campus, Forster said.

Cappel said that idea is “really cool” and she would be interested to see the recipes.

“It’s hard to cook in the dorm because most recipes involve an oven,” she said.

BuckeyeThon hopes to raise $760K MFA grad students

to showcase myriad mediums with exhibit THY THY NGUYEN Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu

RYAN ROBEY / For The Lantern

Participants in BuckeyeThon 2013 at the Ohio Union.

LEE MCCLORY Lantern reporter mcclory.10@osu.edu Ohio State students preparing to dance for 12 hours straight this weekend should refresh themselves on the Michigan rivalry.

Fourteen miracle kids are set to come to Ohio State Friday and Saturday to watch Ohio State students dance in their names at the 13th annual BuckeyeThon, which will have a portion dedicated to pumping students up using the OSU-Michigan rivalry.

Miracle kids are children who are often being treated at the Hematology, Oncology & Blood and Marrow Transplant Department of Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

OSU students are set to dance in 12-hour shifts at BuckeyeThon to raise money for Children’s Hospital.

“For some of (the kids) it’s just as much fun as Christmas morning,” said Zach Horner, director of public relations for BuckeyeThon and a fourth-year in marketing and business development.

After raising about $608,600 last year and with plans to raise at least $758,000 this year, the funds from BuckeyeThon typically constitute the second biggest fundraised donation to Nationwide Children’s, said Courtney Cahill, associate director of annual giving at the hospital.

“We shoot for about 20 percent more each year, and we base our organizational goal off that,” said Brendan Kelly, director of fundraising for BuckeyeThon and a fourth-year in international studies and economics.

The biggest issue BuckeyeThon faces every year is attracting a high enough turnout for the dance marathon, Horner said. About 2,800 people showed up for BuckeyeThon last year, while 3,500 had signed up, Horner said.

Horner said the BuckeyeThon Committee hopes about 3,000 people will show up this year to dance.

To help in reaching that goal, there is a subcommittee devoted to recruiting more people from various parts of campus, called the expansion committee.

“No child should be confined to a hospital room and not be able to go outside when they have cancer,” said Jessica Sunkamaneevongse, a third-year in Japanese who serves on the Dancer Relations Committee, which works to recruit people to participate, when asked why she participates in BuckeyeThon.

On the same weekend that OSU hosts BuckeyeThon, the University of Connecticut and University of Michigan are also set to host similar dance marathons to raise money for hospitals in Children’s Miracle Network.

“We’re going to play off the (OSU-Michigan) rivalry a little bit,” Horner said.

BuckeyeThon is set to include a “Beat

Michigan hour” to play off the rivalry and pump people up during it, Horner said.

Bri Laycock, mother of Hayden Laycock, a miracle kid, said BuckeyeThon has made a difference to her son.

“BuckeyeThon gave (Hayden) the boost he needed to feel better about himself and see his pacemaker as a benefit instead of as something that slowed him down,” Laycock said in a statement about BuckeyeThon sent to The Lantern

by Christine Kaiser, director of family relations for BuckeyeThon.

While the biggest event of BuckeyeThon is the annual 24-hour dance marathon, the club holds events with miracle kids and their families all year long. Miracle kids and BuckeyeThon members have outings, a fashion show, dinners, a video game marathon and various other events where the families can interact with OSU students.

Each dancer is required to raise at least $100 or they aren’t permitted to participate, according to the BuckeyeThon website.

Donations are accepted through the BuckeyeThon website. Virtual dancers also raise money, but don’t dance at the dance marathon.

Cahill said OSU students continue to surpass expectations each year.

“We are blown away every year by the amount of time and money OSU students put into this event,” Cahill said.

Warm exhaled breaths reveal the visual work of one artist.

David Knox, a third-year graduate student pursuing a master’s of fine arts at Ohio State, is planning to showcase his work — which includes an interactive piece that invites visitors to breathe against a piece of acrylic glass — in an art exhibit scheduled open Saturday.

When two visitors are breathing against each side of the acrylic glass, the beads of condensation from their exhalations reveals various of words on the art work. As soon as their breaths dissipate, the words disappear on the acrylic work, Knox said.

His work and that of other MFA graduate students is set to be showcased in The Mirage and the Rainbow: 2014 Department of Art Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition. The gallery is slated to hold the students’ thesis work for completing their degrees in the Department of Art and is to be open to the public through March 15 at the Urban Arts Space downtown.

The art to be showcased includes a wide variety of mediums including paintings, sculptures, glass pieces, prints, ceramics and art and technology pieces.

Keith Garubba, a third-year MFA graduate student, is planning to showcase mixed media and sculptural works which include silkscreen, a type of printmaking process. He also plans on revealing an interactive form of artwork that includes drip paintings. In his interactive work, Garubba invents a fictional story of a doctor fascinated by paint drips and uses the story line to invite visitors to make their own paint drips.

Garubba said he is excited to see how his interactive piece will play out in the exhibit.

“It’s been exciting because I’ve had the luxury of making work that I have never made before and taking risks that I may not be able to in other contexts,” Garubba said.

Leah Frankel, another third-year MFA graduate student, is arranging two mixed media installations. One of her pieces is an installation that is made up of a suspended steel bowl with water contained in it and a ring of light coming in from outside. The other piece focuses on the intersection of two lines.

She also plans to display linoleum block prints with digital animation to help showcase the succession of the prints.

Sage Lewis, also a third-year MFA graduate student, plans on showcasing some of her sculptural carbon-paper forms she made in early 2013. For these constructions, she said she constructed the carbon paper, crushed the paper through a printmaking press and then constructed the paper into a 3-D shape. She also photographed

campus SMOKING BAN at Ohio State Ohio lagging on tobacco use cessation BRANDON MERRIMAN Lantern reporter merriman.65@osu.edu Although Ohio State’s smoking ban aims to help its student, staff and faculty curb the habit, Ohio residents as a whole have resisted appeals to stop lighting up.

According to national surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking nationwide declined at a rate of 12 percent from 1984 to 2012. During the same time, smoking in Ohio declined about 5 percent, and about one in four Ohioans are smokers.

Micah Berman, an assistant professor of public health and law at OSU’s Moritz College of Law, attributed the difference to state budgeting, particularly concerning the dissolution of the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation in 2008.

“While that program was operating in the 2000s, the smoking rate was dropping,” Berman said. “Ohio was funding countermarketing … encouraging people to quit, it was funding a quit line, it was doing programming with youth around the state, it was helping to fund local tobacco policy … all of those take money and a coordinated effort, and Ohio really doesn’t have that right now.”

Daniel Margaroli, a fifth-year in aerospace engineering, said he hasn’t seen state level antismoking rhetoric for a while, but he also believes attitudes have changed and smoking isn’t as socially acceptable anymore.

“I know a lot of people that quit,” Margaroli said.

The foundation’s budget, $230 million, was mostly diverted toward a state stimulus package after the foundation was eliminated, according to Columbus Business First. For fiscal year 2014, Ohio has put forward $1.5 million toward the same goal, according to a Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids press release. Berman said that level of funding is like “no response” compared to the $394.7 million the tobacco industry spends advertising its products to Ohioans each year.

Berman said Ohio has three areas it needs to focus on to discourage smoking.

“The one that Ohio is doing is implementing a strong smoke-free law, but Ohio is below average

in terms of its tobacco tax, and it’s very close to the bottom of the list in terms of the amount of money it puts into tobacco control programming and tobacco prevention programming,” Berman said.

Ohio’s cigarette tax is $1.25 per pack, which is ranked the 29th highest in the U.S., according to a 2013 report by the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids.

OSU began enforcing its own smoking ban on Jan. 1. The ban includes cigarettes, tobacco chew, snuff and e-cigarettes.

OSU has spent about $43,000 of its $100,000 tobacco ban signage budget to make sure when visitors come to campus, they remember to put out their cigarettes. Signs have been placed outside several university buildings, including the Ohio Union, and banners have been hung in parking garages.

The money used comes from “benefit funds,” not a single department, and is administered on behalf of OSU by the Office of Human Resources, according to OSU spokesman Gary Lewis.

In a meeting with The Lantern Jan. 16, Dr.

Peter Shields, deputy director of Wexner Medical Center James Comprehensive Cancer Center, framed the smoking ban in the context of the strategies Berman listed.

“It actually does make a difference, and we know in tobacco control no single thing that we do is a magic bullet … it’s all a package,” Shields said.

Interim President Joseph Alutto said he believes with time, the tobacco ban will make people healthier.

“At another meeting the other night that was raised with me, which was that ‘Should we have a no tobacco use policy on this campus when we’re not going to enforce it absolutely?’ And the response I gave was, ‘That’s life. You can’t always do everything at the extremes,’” Alutto said in a meeting with The Lantern Tuesday. “We will do everything we can to discourage people from doing it, but we’re not going to put them in jail and we’re not going to arrest them and we’re not going to do all the extreme things that people would like us to do, but over time, with success

OSU top-producing college in Peace Corps volunteers CHAHINAZ SEGHIRI Lantern reporter seghiri.1@osu.edu Ohio State alumni flocked to the Peace Corps last year, according to a release that said OSU made the top 10 list of student Peace Corps Volunteers for the second consecutive year.

There are currently 83 OSU alumni serving in the Peace Corps, OSU was ranked fourth among universities with more than 15,000 undergraduate students, a five-spot increase from the previous year.

“We rank our top volunteer-producing (colleges) and universities nationwide according to the size of the student body,” said Peace Corps Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet.

The Peace Corps is a U.S. Government service organization that sets Americans up with work sites and projects in other countries. The minimum age to join is 18, and currently about 7,200 volunteers and trainees are in the program, with 65 host countries involved.

Since 1961, when the Peace Corps was created, 1,706 OSU members have served, Hessler-Radelet said.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison ranked first in the large colleges and universities category with 90 volunteer members this year.

“OSU is not that far behind, so it will be a great opportunity for OSU to really take the lead,” Hessler-Radelet said.

OSU Peace Corps campus recruiter Jack Campbell said the university’s current ranking is a big accomplishment.

“When I came to this position at OSU, for some 35 or 40 years, Peace Corps has been at this location, they’ve never been in the top 10. So when we made the top 10 a year ago I was very pleased to hear that,” Campbell said.

Hessler-Radelet said the Peace Corps provides volunteers with language, cultural and technical skills that can prove useful in future pursuits.

“I was a Peace Corps volunteer and it changed my life, and I think if you talk to any volunteer, they will tell you the same thing. It really is transformational,” Hessler-Radelet said.

Campbell said he joined the Peace Corps when he was in his 50s and was able to volunteer in countries such as Botswana and Fiji.

“I guarantee to (students) that it will be a life-changing experience,” Campbell said.

Because of its competitive process, Campbell said interested students are encouraged to apply the summer before their senior year of college.

OSU alumnus Paul Cook , who served as an educational volunteer in Madagascar, volunteered from July 2010 to October.

“I just really enjoyed that experience and I got to know the community really well. One year there was just not enough for me,” said Cook, who double majored in Portuguese and international studies.

and drew her 3-D subjects using materials such as charcoal and pastel.

Many of the students said their artwork evolved as they prepared for the exhibit. Frankel said she had to focus on making sure pieces of artwork were going to work together and learn how to adjust and “create art within the architecture of the room.” She also said she had to concentrate on taking feedback from other people and take it into consideration for her art.

“It’s hard to know what’s going to be in the show until right before the show. Feedback changes from different people. You get a lot of different advice from people. So, it’s really tricky,” Frankel said.

Other students said they have themes or ideas about their artwork. Knox said his projects are focused on the act of encountering language and words.

“Language is something that we use to speak but it’s never visual when we use the mouth,” Knox said.

Knox is planning to showcase digital prints of his artwork and technological art that involves recorded voices.

Inspiration comes from different places for the artists in this exhibition.

Lewis’ inspiration for her artwork comes from contemporary and historical examples of architecture, while Garubba’s inspiration for his piece involving the paint drips comes from his fascination in “how science and art work together and how they (both) get into each other’s ways.”

Lewis said she is enthusiastic about the exhibit because she will be able to showcase her own work.

“In our graduate program, we’re in the studio constantly making work for two and a half years.

This is a chance to step back from that and look at what we’ve done,” Lewis said.

Frankel shared Lewis’ enthusiasm.

Assault from 1A referred to the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office if they wished to pursue charges, according to a University Police report.

There were 15 total thefts reported on OSU’s campus this week from Feb. 5 to Wednesday.

In one incident, a 27-year-old man was arrested for stealing a carton of 2 percent milk, valued at $1.25, from the Ohio Union Tuesday at about 12:30 p.m.

In other incidents this week, two individuals were arrested for drug- or alcohol-related matters.

“It’s always rewarding and satisfying to see the work in the gallery and outside of the studio. I’m happy to have it (art pieces) ready to be shown and to hear people’s feedback,” Frankel said.

The exhibit is also set to have a public reception Feb. 22 from 5 to 7 p.m. where visitors are welcome to food and refreshments and can have conversations with the artists individually about their work.

An artist panel discussion is set for Feb. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m., where eight of the artists are set to give a lecture to the audience about their work in the show.

A 46-year-old man not affiliated with OSU was arrested for having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol at the Ohio Union North Parking Garage Saturday at 1:20 a.m.

Farm to Fork Dialogues incites agricultural conversations FRANCIS PELLICCIARO Lantern reporter pellicciaro.1@osu.edu

Panelists John Finer (left) and Allen Armstrong talk before speaking with members of the Collegiate Young Farmers Feb. 11 in the Ohio Union during Farm to Food.

One group of students aimed to bring the farm to Ohio State.

The Collegiate Young Farmers hosted the Farm to Fork Food Dialogues Tuesday, featuring panelists from the farm and food industries. The central topic of discussion was biotechnology.

Allen Armstrong, a grain farmer, was among the panelists. He spoke about how he thinks the labels on food need to be changed.

“I don’t think the boxes and labels are big enough to label everything that could possibly be in the food,” he said.

Armstrong said making it necessary for labels to indicate which foods contain genetically modified ingredients would give those foods a bad connotation.

Nationwide, various groups of people have proposed explicitly labeling foods that were genetically modified, meaning the genes of the food were scientifically altered.

That discussion was just one of the conversations brought up at the event, which drew roughly 300 people.

Kelly Guthrie, president of Collegiate Young Farmers and a fourth-year in animal science, said

of approximations, we hope to be able to convince increasing numbers of individuals that it’s not healthy.”

Mohannad Alsobaihi, a first-year in medical lab science, said while he is a smoker, he thinks the ban is fair.

“I want to smoke, but it does not mean that I want to hurt (others),” Alsobaihi said. “It has to be prohibited. It might help me quit.”

Berman said the university’s smoking ban is important because students who get through their college years without starting to smoke are “very unlikely” to start.

Shields said that’s part of the reasoning behind OSU’s ban. “(Smoking is) really an adolescent disease. I mean

most times people start smoking 11 years old, 12 years old, 14 years old, 15 years old, but it takes years to get really addicted,” he said. “It’s during the college years that really some people get cemented it. So if we cut that off before they come here … we’re hoping for this trickle down effect.”

Berman said, however, the tougher issue for the state is targeting Ohioans with less education.

“The smoking rate for (Ohio) adults who have not graduated high school is over 40 percent, which is … astoundingly high, and those are groups who are hard to reach,” Berman said.

Shields’ answer was to address cultural acceptance of smoking.

“It’s not about enforcement, it’s about a culture of compliance,” Shields said.

Public affairs coordinator for the Peace Corps’ Midwest region Jessica Mayle said students from a variety of backgrounds have volunteered for the Peace Corps.

“Most positions require a bachelor degree, but if you have a bachelor’s degree in any subject, you can find a position that you are well-suited for,” Mayle said.

With about 80 percent of volunteers under the age of 30 and recent college graduates, HesslerRadelet said the Peace Corps depends heavily on campuses in order to gain recruiting members.

“It is not only an opportunity to make a difference, it is also an opportunity to build your career,” Hessler-Radelet said.

CYF aimed to bring an event that would be interesting to a variety of people. She said the event was catered to help agriculture students share their knowledge with people unfamiliar with farming.

“We’re mainly here to just share experiences,” Guthrie said.

Others in attendance said they, too, saw the event as an attempt for CYF to bridge the gap between students studying agriculture on West Campus and their classmates on the other side of the Olentangy River.

“It’s a way of both sides of campus to see each other and have a voice,” said Kelly Fager, communications director of CYF and a third-year in agricultural communication. She added that the event gave students “the opportunity to sit around the table and learn from each other.”

Dennis Hall, the director of the OSU Ohio Bioproducts Innovation Center, which works to develop various materials, volunteers as the adviser for CYF. He said it is good for farmers to talk openly to people outside of agriculture, so he was proud of the event.

“This is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen a student organization do,” Hall said.

“I think (one) of the big and important things you learn is how to live and thrive in a culture that is different from your own personally and professionally,” Cook said.

Through his experiences, Cook was also able to assist in opening an English learning center for students in Madagascar.

“Ohio State works really hard to inspire others to service-related activities for people, so there is more than development of the self, but it also helps to develop people from other cultures as well,” Cook said.

At first, Raekwon McMillan wasn’t sure how to handle the attention.

Cameras snapped, he was peppered with constant questions, and recorders beeped as reporters and photographers formed a circle around the crown jewel of Ohio State football head coach Urban Meyer’s 2014 recruiting class.

“Just for the first day, (we) had a hard day of workouts, (and) coming in after hours to do interviews — it’s pretty crazy,” the true freshman linebacker said Feb. 5 — National Signing Day — hardly looking up as he spoke.

Hailing from Hinesville, Ga., McMillan was rated the nation’s top-rated linebacker by Rivals.com and ESPN and received offers from perennial powers like Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Clemson, OSU and others. After ultimately choosing to become a Buckeye Dec. 16, he quickly became the guy everyone wanted a piece of on National Signing Day. McMillan represents one-fourth of the group of players faced with the responsibility to help fill the void left by first-team All-American and All-Big Ten conference performer junior Ryan Shazier, who declared for the 2014 NFL Draft Jan. 4. He was also the first player’s name Meyer mentioned on Signing Day. OSU’s head man did not sugarcoat

how McMillan — along with other incoming freshmen linebackers Kyle Berger, Dante Booker and Sam Hubbard — are to be depended on during what Meyer called an “overhaul” at the position.

“Far too many mistakes have been made, either in lack of development or whatever, and it’s just not where we need to be,” Meyer said of OSU’s defense. “I’m putting pressure on them, (defensive coordinator and linebackers) coach (Luke) Fickell and myself to get ready for next year. They have to play for us, in addition to the players we have on our roster already.”

Those currently on the roster in the linebacker position who saw significant playing time last season include sophomores Joshua Perry, Joe Burger and Camren Williams and junior Curtis Grant. Perry is the only returning player who played in all 14 games last season, finishing fourth on the team in tackles with 64. Grant and Williams both played in 13 games and Burger saw action in five.

Shazier, who led the Big Ten with 143 tackles, will be difficult to replace, but the fact that Meyer recruited four linebackers for 2014 makes it clear he is looking to lean on them for production.

McMillan said Meyer told him that he would have a chance to play early in his career when he was recruiting him, but the future linebacker knows nothing is guaranteed.

Sophomore Michigan forward Glenn Robinson III goes for a rebound during a game against OSU Feb. 11 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 70-60.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Against the No. 22 Ohio State men’s basketball team Tuesday, No. 15 Michigan (18-6, 10-2, 1st in the Big Ten) got its chance to try again, and again and again.

During a tight stretch late in the second half with OSU only trailing by one point, the Buckeyes allowed their archrivals to pick up offensive rebounds on three consecutive possessions and stretch the lead to six points.

OSU (19-6, 6-6, 5th in the Big Ten) didn’t get closer than four for the remainder of the game.

The Wolverines outrebounded OSU, 14-8, on the offensive glass and topped the Buckeyes 39-27 in total rebounds. So far this season, Michigan is tied for 298th in the country (out of 351 teams) in offensive rebounds per game, only averaging 9.2 per outing.

OSU coach Thad Matta said a big part of OSU’s inability to stop the offensive rebounds was not being in position to get the ball.

“They got inside of us and forced our rotations

and we didn’t sink to where we needed to,” Matta said. “Sometimes it’s a little-on-big and the deal is, you may not get it. That’s fine, but we can’t let him get it. They got a couple big rebounds and we just had to defend again, and we had to defend again, and that was just problematic for us.”

Matta added that an inability to pick up loose balls hurt OSU and allowed Michigan to get second chances on offense.

“From what I saw, we went to block some shots and the rotation wasn’t there where it needed to be,” Matta said. “We had a couple balls hit us in the hands and we didn’t come up with them. When the ball’s bouncing, 50-50 ball, you’ve got to come up with the basketball and we were just slow reacting to the ball.”

The game’s leading rebounder was Michigan freshman guard Derrick Walton Jr., who is all of 6 feet 1 inch tall and managed to bring in 10 total boards. Michigan graduate senior forward Jordan Morgan added eight rebounds of his own, including six on offense.

OSU’s leading scorer, junior forward LaQuinton Ross, said the domination came down to one thing: determination.

Buckeye baseball ‘to chase the weather’ with early travels KANE ANDERSON Lantern reporter anderson.1995@osu.edu

SHELBY LUM / Photo editor

Then-junior infielder Ryan Cypret hits the ball during a game against Nebraska April 15, 2012, at Bill Davis Stadium. OSU lost, 5-4.

A luxury of being a varsity athlete at a school like Ohio State is having the opportunity to travel across the country. Buckeye athletics either bring the best into Columbus or go to the best teams in the land, no matter where they are located.

Baseball, though, might have the most rigorous traveling schedule of them all.

Even though snow still coats the Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium, the collegiate baseball season starts this weekend. Escaping the frigid temperatures in the winter wonderland that is Columbus, the Buckeyes are set to begin the first month of their season playing far from home.

The first two weekends of the season are scheduled to be spent in Port Charlotte, Fla., and Orlando, Fla., respectively, with the third in Greenville, N.C., and fourth in Eugene, Ore., and Corvallis, Ore. As the players warmed up for batting practice Wednesday, they could not help but be giddy at the opportunity to get into some Florida sunshine after only being able to have one outdoor practice so far this year. Although it will be a bonus for them to enjoy some nice weather, they realize ] there is more to be accounted for while traveling.

These are not just one-and-done games. They play either three or four games each trip and these games are sandwiched right in the middle of Spring Semester. The players don’t appear to mind at all, always balancing their responsibilities as players and students.

“I get a lot of classwork done on the road, on buses or even on the plane if I have to,” sophomore infielder Troy Kuhn said.

Having these long trips allows the athletes plenty of time to get their schoolwork done on the way to and from their game locations. It is

because of reasons just like this that, last year, OSU decided to supply all student-athletes with an iPad. “The use of iPads will allow us to find creative and innovative ways to enhance our tutoring and mentoring services,” assistant provost for student-athlete success David Graham said in a press release about the decision.

The OSU Department of Athletics budgeted $400,000 to purchase iPads for the athletes in 2012.

Despite having plenty of hours to dedicate themselves to studying and homework, the team still misses some valuable class time.

“The pros of us traveling are that we get to chase the weather, but we also have to miss a couple Friday classes,” coach Greg Beals said.

“Our guys know this and get it sorted out with their professors first.”

For each road trip, the traveling squad has to miss most Friday and possibly some Thursday classes. The players make sure to notify their teachers beforehand and make up for everything they miss.

“We get an excuse note and hope our teachers are pretty lenient, and they usually are and understand,” sophomore infielder Jacob Bosiokovic said. “It (travel) makes things tough, but we get some tutors and study to take care of everything.”

Since athletes are some of the first to schedule classes, some of the players even find ways to not have to miss classes.

“I actually set up my schedule this semester so I don’t have classes on Mondays or Fridays,” Kuhn said. “So when we leave on Thursday, I don’t have any class conflict. I don’t miss any classes, actually.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to begin play against Connecticut in the Snowbird Classic Friday at 5 p.m.

sports Softball ‘pumped up’ for Easton Desert Classic with some of nation’s best

Overall, though, McIntyre said she is pleased with where the team stands.

“We’re right where we want to be,” McIntyre said. “We had a lot of players stand out (last weekend) and make some big plays for us.”

One of those standout players was junior outfielder Caitlin Conrad, who finished the FAU Kickoff Classic batting 7-14, including two home runs, five RBIs, three doubles and a triple.

Schoenly said after Conrad spent the majority of last season batting ninth in the lineup, she has worked hard to become one of the Buckeyes’ offensive leaders and now bats third.

“She is a junior now and I feel like she has done what she needed to do to be in that situation,” Schoenly said. “We like to put all of our hot hitters together and right now, she’s there.”

Defensively, Schoenly said the outfield has great communication skills and aggressiveness. Conrad is joined in the outfield by sophomore Cammi Prantl and junior Taylor Watkins.

“They were diving all over the place. We had a couple of assists out there and Cammi Prantl dove head first into the fence. Taylor had four diving catches, they were unreal,” Schoenly said.

As the Buckeyes begin to play more games, Schoenly expects the team to improve throughout the season.

“For the pitchers to throw back-to-back-to-back days, it’s something they grow into as the season goes on. I think, for our pitchers, the more they do that, the better they get at it,” Schoenly said. “I think playing that many games helps our hitters too because they see so many different pitchers and so many different types of pitches.”

OSU’s game against Cal State Northridge Friday is set for 4:30 p.m., followed by a game against Long Beach State at 6:45 p.m.

Then-sophomore shortstop/2nd baseman Maddy McIntyre throws the ball during a game against Michigan State April 24 at Buckeye Field. OSU won, 6-3.

McMillan from 7A “Coach Meyer, he always tells us that he wants incoming freshmen to play early. He wants us not to sit back and relax and wait for the next guy to leave out. But to practice every day like you’re competing for a job and attack every drill like it’s your last drill … (playing early) was implemented, but I know that nothing is given at Ohio State and I have to come in and work just like everybody else,” McMillan said.

McMillan is listed at 6 feet 2 inches tall and 242 pounds, leading co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Chris Ash to comment on his stature.

“He looks like a big-time linebacker. It’s what he looks like,” Ash said on National Signing Day. “Now, we’ll see what he plays like, but he looks the part.”

McMillan racked up 159 total tackles during his senior year at Liberty County High School, to go along with 16.5 sacks, three interceptions and 10 forced fumbles. That kind of production caused an explosion over where he was going to choose to play in college, something McMillan called “crazy.”

“Coming from a small town like Hinesville, Ga., you don’t expect a lot of people to come around

Despite dropping four of its five games at the FAU Kickoff Classic, the Ohio State women’s softball team is confident its record is not indicative of its potential.

OSU (1-4, 0-0) is set to continue its early season tournament schedule against Cal State Northridge Friday at the Easton Desert Classic in Las Vegas.

The team is also scheduled to play Long Beach State later that day. The Buckeyes are then slated to take on No. 1 Florida and No. 10 Oregon Saturday, as well as Utah Valley Sunday.

Even though facing two top 10 teams in one day is a tall order, coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly said she expects the Buckeyes to rise to the occasion.

“Those kids are pretty pumped up,” Schoenly said Tuesday. “I don’t worry one bit that they’ll be up for those games.”

Junior shortstop/second baseman Maddy McIntyre said the team is focused on Cal State Northridge and then will take it game by game from there.

“We always have the same high level of intensity,” McIntyre said Tuesday.

“We take the positives and roll with what we know we’re good at.”

However, one of the things it’s working on is keeping its pitchers in longer, Schoenly said.

“We are working on their stamina and reducing the amount of pitches they throw earlier in the game,” Schoenly said. “If we go at batters more aggressively earlier so (the pitchers) can last longer, that would be the No. 1 way to help.”

there and see you play football,” McMillan said. “It was very fun, but high school’s over with now, man.

It’s time to get on to 107,000 people.”

The excitement was merited though, as McMillan even said himself that it could have gone “either way at the end,” regarding where he was going to play football in 2014. In the end, he said OSU felt right.

“I mean every time I visited Ohio State, I felt like it was the place for me. Everything about it was great, Coach Meyer and the coaching staff … he’s put together one of the best coaching staffs in the nation and I really like working with these guys,” McMillan said.

OSU finished 47th in the country last season in defense, giving up an average of 377.4 yards per game, but on the other end of the spectrum, was 112th in the country in pass defense, giving up 268 yards per game.

At times, the criticism from fans fell on the shoulders of Fickell, something McMillan said he didn’t understand.

With the expectation that OSU should compete for championships at the end of every season, Ash said the team cannot accept mediocrity.

“You have to be able to play great defense to

be able to win it all,” Ash said. “You don’t have to be the best defense in the country, but you’ve got to be pretty darn solid to be able to say you’re going to win 14 games in this league to win it all.

You can’t have an average to subpar defense to get that done.”

Whether or not the Buckeye defense will improve enough for national title aspirations to come to fruition is likely to fall on the broad shoulders of McMillan — but if that’s the case, it appears the freshman is up for the task.

“I mean, the linebackers are the quarterbacks of the defense,” McMillan said. “Coach Fickell, he’s coached some of the greatest linebackers in college football. I could start naming them: A.J. Hawk, James Laurinaitis, Bobby Carpenter, the list goes on and on. But in the last three or four years, they haven’t had that solid guy in the middle who can run the whole show. Yeah they’ve had some great linebackers who’ve come through and got drafted, but he’s looking for that one guy who can run that whole show on defense.”

McMillan’s first opportunity to show what he can do is Aug. 30, when OSU is scheduled to take on Navy at M&T Bank Stadium.

Offensive from 7A “At the end of the day they just wanted it more,” Ross said.

“When you go back and look at the film, I’m sure we probably missed a lot of box-outs, and we knew coming into the game they (were) going to try to offensive rebound. They’re not that big of a team so we can’t blame it on that, but I think at the end of the day, we probably missed a lot of assignments so we have to be tougher on that part.”

The offensive rebounds not only helped Michigan get more opportunities to score, but prevented OSU from running the floor and scoring easy points in transition. On the night, the Buckeyes outscored Michigan 12-2 on fast break points, but couldn’t find the opportunities to run late in the game.

Senior guard Aaron Craft said allowing that many offensive rebounds could be a problem if it becomes the norm.

“It’s the offensive rebounds. We’ve done a pretty good job of that the last few games, and for some reason, we didn’t do it tonight,” Craft said after the game. “They got them when they needed it and they knocked down shots off of those offensive rebounds. We were getting a lot of our points rebounding and running and when they get the ball, we can’t do that.”

Next up, the Buckeyes are scheduled to travel to Champaign, Ill., to take on Illinois (14-10, 3-8). When the Buckeyes last played Illinois Jan. 23, they won 62-55 despite the Illini holding an 11-10 advantage in offensive rebounds.

Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday.

sports RPAC lower court replacement project costs about $70K Ryan Cooper Lantern reporter cooper.487@osu.edu It is common to see four pickup basketball games going on at once in the gyms of Ohio State’s largest recreational center.

However, players at the RPAC have found two of the four basketball courts in the lower Tom W. Davis Special Events Gym roped off since around Thanksgiving, senior associate director of facilities for OSU recreational sports Dave DeAngelo said.

A broken piece of equipment is to blame for the closure, DeAngelo said.

“We had a problem with an air handler that broke in a room directly north of the gym,” DeAngelo said. “Heating hot water from the air handler went all over the floor. It caused the building to go into fire alarm mode from the steam. Water causes the boards to warp. That happened pretty quickly after we got the water cleaned up.”

The replacement wood for the courts did not arrive until Jan. 6, at which point construction began immediately. DeAngelo estimates the project should be completed the week of Feb. 24.

DeAngelo said there is an outstanding insurance claim for the repairs. The cost of the project is estimated to be about $70,000, though the facility would only have to pay a $25,000 deductible if the insurance claim goes through.

This is not the first time the RPAC has had to deal with this kind of problem. In Spring Semester 2013, a sprinkler head went off during an intramural basketball game that necessitated repairs to Court 4, the same northernmost court in the lower gym.

Only Court 4 needed to be redone in this instance as well, with adjacent Court 3 shut down in order to house the equipment for the repairs and to keep people’s shoes off the damaged court. DeAngelo said the maintenance

workers at the RPAC were able to prevent the water from damaging Court 3 after the leak.

“We preventatively cut a trench in the floor to prevent water from getting any further,” DeAngelo said.

Basketball players at the RPAC have had to deal with larger crowds and longer waits to get into a game with only two out of the four courts in the lower gym available for play. There are a total of 12 wood courts available for use at the RPAC. “It definitely seems to be more crowded on the courts than all of the other times I’ve been here,” said Derek Green, a first-year graduate student of history.

Derrell Northern, 31, a banker for Chase Bank on High Street, estimated that it took about 30 minutes for someone arriving at the gym to find a spot in a game at about 1 p.m. Feb. 2.

“I would say there are at least 10 to 15 people waiting to get into a game,” Northern said. “If we had more courts, it would cut down on the time because there’d be more games, not just two.”

DeAngelo expressed frustration at the timing of this reconstruction.

“It’s the busiest time of the year for us, so it stinks that it’s down right now,” DeAngelo said, citing New Year’s resolutions and the start of the intramural basketball season in January as the primary reasons for increased activity.

In order to manage the decreased space for the intramural basketball games, DeAngelo said more games were added to the Adventure Recreation Center on West Campus.

Players who are tired of waiting on the sideline to play pickup games only have to deal with the congestion caused for a few more weeks, provided the project stays on time.

“We’re a few weeks away, and will be very happy to have it back,” DeAngelo said.

Jeter’s last year should not be another season-long extravaganza Sports columnist

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter announced via Facebook Wednesday that he is set to retire after the 2014 season, signaling the end of the career of an all-time great shortstop but also an era of Major League Baseball.

Jeter’s accomplishments throughout his career are well documented. He has compiled 3,316 hits, making him the only New York Yankees player to reach the 3,000-hit milestone. He has Ryan Cooper also won five career World Series cooper.487@osu.edu championships in 19 seasons of play thus far — all of which he has spent with New York ­­— and has been largely acclaimed for elevating his level of play in the postseason.

His impact went far beyond his performance in the box score,

Thursday February 13, 2014

however. He is well known for being one of baseball’s great leaders, and an all-around good guy. His hustle to catch up to an off-line throw and shovel it home to catcher Jorge Posada in game three of the 2001 American League Division Series against the Oakland Athletics has become synonymous with the type of player he was throughout his career.

On a larger scale, Jeter’s retirement marks the last of the “clean” stars from the steroid era. The majority of the great players from the early ‘90s to mid-2000s have been linked to performance-enhancing drugs — Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens for example — but Jeter was one of the few who maintained a clean reputation.

Jeter is also the last of group of stars which includes recent retirees Chipper Jones, Todd Helton and longtime Yankee teammate Mariano Rivera. These players are held in high regard for playing through an era where the great players were often using performance-enhancing drugs to get ahead, instead resisting the urge to cheat to keep up.

The only reason I could find to groan at this announcement was the fact that it came before the season began. This most likely

means another “farewell tour,” like the one Rivera got in 2013, complete with on-field ceremonies and gifts from each team. I am all for honoring the career of a great player, but I don’t feel that an impending retirement needs to be a season-long extravaganza.

Still, Jeter’s career deserves to be celebrated. He has faced his fair share of criticism, largely stemming from the sometimes-inflated reputation he often got from the fans and media. He was not nearly the defender that he was known as, and advanced statistics show he did not deserve the five Gold Glove awards he earned. He also probably didn’t deserve all of his 13 All-Star appearances either.

But there is no doubting that Jeter’s durability, consistency, and leadership put him among baseball’s all-time greats. He is probably in the top two or three shortstops ever, and joins legends such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle as one of the greatest players to don the pinstripes as well. His career will surely make him a first-ballot Hall of Fame member, and possibly the first-ever unanimous inductee.

Columbus’ Own

In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that will profile a new Columbus band every week.

Cloudkicker speaks language of music Thy Thy Nguyen Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu For Ben Sharp, music can often be thought of as the universal language of mankind.

“Music is almost sort of a language that I have been able to tune into,” said Sharp, a musician who goes under the banner of Cloudkicker.

The Los Angeles-born songwriter and recording artist said music allows him to “express himself in a way” he could not do with any other form of communication.

Sharp said he started writing music for Cloudkicker in 2007. He also said he did not record his first album until he moved from Los Angeles to Ohio.

He released his first album in July 2008, called “The Discovery.”

In his new home of Columbus, Sharp writes, records and mixes music for Cloudkicker.

Cloudkicker focuses on an array of styles from metal, instrumental to acoustic. Sharp said he does not use vocals in most of his music, instead, it is mainly focused on instrumentation. He prefers to express things “nonverbally,” he said. The only song that does have vocals is called “Let yourself be huge” in the album called “Let Yourself Be Huge.”

Sharp described Cloudkicker as music that uses a lot of repetition in its melodies.

“If you’ve ever heard of a song from a band that you like and you wish you could repeat that one part of the song over and over again just because it’s so catchy, I try to make entire albums like that. It’s just very repetitive layered songs,” Sharp said.

Sharp uses bass guitar and guitar in Cloudkicker’s music. He also creates drum sounds with the help of a computer program.

Sharp’s process for writing music is to go into his office and play a guitar for a while until he “stumbles on to something” that might become the beginning part of a song, he said. After he finishes writing the song, he records it until the song is finished.

“Basically I start writing out a song in the beginning and I stop when I feel like it’s done,” Sharp said.

The songs he writes also tend to revolve around intense mixed emotions. Sharp said his songs depict “the bittersweet feelings you get the day after Christmas,” or the “feelings you get when you look forward to something” or “the last day of school.”

During the month of April, Sharp said he plans to go on a tour across the country. Intronaut, a Los Angeles-based metal band, is set to act as a backing band for Cloudkicker while Sharp is onstage. Some of the states he is planning to tour include New York, California, Texas and Pennsylvania.

He said he does not set expectations for how crowds will react to him.

“I’m not hoping for anything. I know that we’ll be interacting with quite a few people. I’m going to try to have as little expectations as possible and just enjoy the moment,” Sharp said.

Some people outside of Ohio said they like the

Instrumentalist Ben Sharp, who performs under the moniker Cloudkicker. His next show is set for March 29 at Kobo. music of Cloudkicker, such as 24-year-old Jason Bandalos, a fan since 2010 who lives in Wyoming.

Bandalos said he likes listening to Cloudkicker’s music because it helps him focus on his work.

“If I know that I need to be in a specific mood to do something, whether it would be (to) write a paper or focus on getting something done I can put on a specific Cloudkicker album and for whatever reason it really acts as a catalyst to get me into that mood.

I’ll be able to accomplish what I need to accomplish,” Bandalos said.

Another fan said he enjoys the music so much, he even decided to use two of his favorite songs, “Let yourself be huge” and “It’s inside me, and I’m inside it,” for his wedding. “(“It’s Inside me, and I’m inside it”) was actually used at my wedding. My wife walked down the aisle to it. So, it holds a lot of sentimental value with me,” said 26-year-old Patrick O’Brien, a fan since 2007, living in Michigan.

Alyssa Sharp, Ben Sharp’s wife, said Cloudkicker’s music is like a “journey” because it has a lot

of movement in it, much like a well-read story has emotions to it. She said it is “one that you can listen to and focus on nothing else.”

Bandalos said he hopes Sharp keeps making music.

“He’s one of those artists for me that I hope never stops making music,” Bandalos said.

Cloudkicker’s next performance is set to be March 29 at Kobo, located at 2590 N. High St.

OSU students prep for Valentines in many ways hayden grove Asst. sports director at BuckeyeTV grove.157@osu.edu Throughout the years, Hollywood, in coordination with the relentless efforts of advertisers across the globe, has painted a specific picture of the quintessential Valentine’s Day. Many movies and advertisements show the flowers, chocolates and various romantic gestures that have all become associated with the heart-filled holiday, but are these the things college students want when they envision Feb. 14?

Some Ohio State students envisioned their perfect Valentine’s Day date and came up with a multitude of plans, some agreeing with the on-screen clichés but others differing from the format entirely.

Rachel Berton, a first-year in dietetics, said that while the allure of a night on the town seems nice, she’d rather a comfortable night in.

“I’d just want to stay in and have a nice home cooked meal or something,” Berton said. “Then I’d want to watch a movie. Something funny, not anything romantic.”

On the other hand, Haley Pohl, a first-year in respiratory therapy, had her romantic evening all planned out.

“Where I live, we have a Ruby’s on the pier, so I’d want to go there and share a milkshake,” Pohl said. “Then we would go on the lifeguard tower and watch the sunset.”

Jackie Binder, a first-year in mathematics, might have had the most specific plans of all, even singling out the man with whom she’d want to spend the special day.

“I’d want to jet down to Florida with Ryan Gosling,” Binder said. “We’d hang out on the beach and watch the sunset.”

The women weren’t the only ones describing their perfect Valentine’s Day, a few gentlemen stepped up to the plate and offered up their perfect night as well.

“I’d probably go out to eat, get her flowers

Ryan Gosling attends the premiere of ‘The Place Beyond The Pines’ in New York City March 28. and probably watch a movie,” first-year engineering student Ryan Tucker said.

After he set up the special evening, Tucker said the choice of movie was all hers.

“She can pick which movie she wants,” Tucker said. “That’s the nice part.”

Finally, William Madley, a third-year in computer science and engineering, described his Valentine’s night on a local scale.

“If it had to be something on campus, it would probably be something nice like a dinner at the Blackwell,” Madley said. “If it was off-campus, I’m sure there’s plenty of options, probably somewhere in the Short North, somewhere a little fancier, I don’t really have anything in mind.”

Following the nice dinner, Madley said he would want to kick-back, relax and enjoy some TV time.

“A movie would sound pretty good,” Madley said. “Maybe we could watch a bunch of Netflix, that might be nice.”

‘The Lego Movie’ disproves skeptics Yeezy’s debut turns 10, Shaun

White’s loss means moving on

Jacob Hollar Lantern reporter hollar.38@osu.edu It looked shiny and plastic and goofy, and I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t expect much from it.

But “The Lego Movie” was more clever and funny than I had given it credit before watching, and my preconceptions were ultimately disproved.

What I expected to be a tedious slapstick romp aimed at young children was instead 100 minutes of tonguein-cheek self-critiques and zany antics that could make even the most haggard among us struggle not to grin.

And I’m not alone in thinking so — the film has proven surprisingly popular since it opened in theaters Friday, receiving a 96 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and topping the weekend box office with $69.1 million.

Austin Hemm, who sold me my ticket at AMC Lennox Town Center 24, thought it was funny, and noted there was something for those of all ages.

“A lot of kids come see it, and parents come and they enjoy it too, because they played with Legos when they were kids,” the second-year in film studies at Ohio State said.

But while it’s definitely a family movie, he said he’s seen all sorts of people buy tickets for the film.

For example, when I saw the movie at 8:15 p.m. on a Tuesday, there were four groups in the theater: a woman of about 30 with a girl of about 8 or 9, a man and a woman probably in their late 20s, a pair of middle-agedlooking men and my friend Ben and me, both in our early 20s.

And that doesn’t seem to be an unusual crowd.

“This past weekend, we had guests from all ages coming out,” including everyone from families to couples out on dates, said Danielle Pricor, the general manager of Movie Tavern 11 at Mill Run. Part of the film’s success, she told me, was probably because of some “really good” advertising.

The story follows a familiar formula: average guy unwittingly becomes a hero; average guy struggles with his new identity; average guy seems to fail at being the hero and, after it seems like the bad guy has won, our hero average guy rebounds and saves the day.

But something — I’m not sure what — about the vibrantly colored plastic blocks our hero and his world are made of gave the film an unexpected vim.

The movie certainly seems like something that came from the mind of a child playing with his Legos. From the simple division of good guys and bad guys to the chaotic hodgepodge of story lines, I’m sure I created similar scenarios with my own Legos when I was younger.

Perhaps it wasn’t the blocks at all that drew me — and America — into the movie, but the star-studded cast

Will Arnett, the voice of Batman in ‘The Lego Movie,’ at the movie’s premiere in Los Angeles Feb. 1. (which includes Will Ferrell and Morgan Freeman, among others) and witty script. It’s full of “hidden jokes” for adults, Pricor said.

Regardless of why, “The Lego Movie” was unapologetically fun and I shamelessly enjoyed it.

When stepped on, Legos might arguably be the most painful thing in the world — but when animated, they’re an absolute pleasure.

‘College Dropout’ Turns 10 Monday marked the 10th anniversary on Kanye West’s “The College Dropout.” The album featured hits such as “Through the Wire,” “All Falls Down” and “Jesus Walks.”

“Rolling Stone” has ranked the album No. 19 on the list of “Best Debut Albums of All Time.” I’m not going to pretend that little 8-year-old me listened to “The College Dropout” when it was first released. I wasn’t that cool. But I remember hearing the name that now almost everyone knows. West’s dropping out of Chicago State University and the struggles that followed were the fuel to the unstoppable hip hop fire that is Yeezus today. West tweeted (@kanyewest) on the anniversary, “I am extremely grateful to each and every person along that road who helped, lent an ear, lent their voice, gave of their heart to that project, and to all the projects that followed, and are to come.”

Yet Another Female Celebrity Cuts Her Hair and I Really, Really Don’t Care I didn’t have a haircut until I was 13. I rocked a ponytail that made actual horses jealous. Now my hair is short and what Tyra Banks would call “edgy,” with a big asymmetrical swoop bang and shaved side.

Very Skrillex and Urban Outfitters approved.

The point is, it’s short. Dudes have hair longer than me.

Taylor Swift’s new haircut, as shown in a photo with Ellie Goudling, is not short.

It goes to her chin. It’s not a feminist statement and it certainly shouldn’t be a headline. It’s a haircut. People get haircuts because they simply like the style or because they had split ends or because life is already too much of a hot mess to add in styling hair before an 8 a.m. class.

Speaking of hair though…

Flaming Red Heartbreak Despite being the daughter of a sports journalist, I know little about sports. But I, and lots of other people who know nothing about sports, know the name Shaun White.

And I, along with many other girls who are suckers for long hair and don’t care attitudes, love Shaun. So my heart sank for my old teenage, slightly superficial, crush when he placed fourth on the halfpipe, the snowboarding specialty he had won gold in for the past two Olympics.

White has many athletic accomplishments — from being the first to compete and medal in both the Summer and Winter X Games, to awing everyone by being the one and only to successfully perform a frontside heelflip 540 body varial (“the Armadillo”) on skateboard in 2010. But he’s made a name for himself off the ramps. He has his line of clothes at Target (I shamelessly own a pair of his shoes for ‘lil boys) and has cameoed in films such as “Friends With Benefits.” You could literally say he’s a rockstar. He plays guitar in a rock band (Bad Things) and everything. He has an image of cool that’s unparalleled.

When I heard the news that Shaun placed fourth, I immediately texted my sports journalist dad. He responded, “Now he can live his life.” The rockstar can now kick back. Or not. In an interview with Bleacher Report that ran just last week, White was quoted as saying that he would “drop everything” for his bandmates.

Perhaps this Olympic letdown will lead to a pick up for his band, or maybe White will come through in his typical flying (tomato) colors and do it all.

US Snowboarder Shaun White greets fans before an appearance on the ‘Today Show’ in Sochi, Russia Feb. 12.

Shaun White on his second run during the Men’s Snowboard Halfpipe event, in which he finished fourth, in Sochi, Russia Feb. 11.

OPINION

Snowboarder Shaun White is still adored despite Olympic medal loss MICHELE THEODORE Copy chief theodore.13@osu.edu OK, so snowboarder Shaun White didn’t win the 2014 Winter Olympic gold medal this year for halfpipe. Yeah, he also dropped out of the slopestyle event to focus on that single thing. And sure, he didn’t even medal at all in Sochi, Russia, but that doesn’t change anything about how great he is.

He’s brought more attention to the world of snowboarding than anyone else. He might be hated for it among certain circles, but for those of us who only snowboard about once a year, he’s a huge inspiration.

Here are all the reasons, in no particular order, why I’m still a fan of America’s favorite snowboarder.

His hair Middle school me fell in love with the “Flying Tomato” because his long, curly, sunset-colored hair was everything I wanted mine to be. No, seriously — I cut my hair to look more like his.

Usually men with long hair rock it, but don’t know the best way to keep it clean and flowy so it sort of falls flat (re: Jack White). Shaun’s hair always seems effortlessly bouncy and recently washed.

Things only got better when he cut his hair and donated it to Locks of Love, a charity dedicated to helping children affected by long-term medical hair loss because “somebody needs it more than I do.” He posted a video to YouTube called “It’s Only Hair” and since I donated more than 12 inches of my hair once, this made my heart soar. Not to mention that his new haircut looks amazing.

His charisma Shaun should really be spokesman for energy supplements because his bubbling personality would definitely sell the product. He always seems to be going full-throttle, even while doing something as energy-consuming as snowboarding.

The 27-year-old could be exhausted after hitting the biggest competitions for more than a decade, or bitter after missing out on a medal many expected to be his, but his charming smile was the thing that showed after

the run and he even gave the winner, Switzerland’s Iouri “I-Pod” Podladtchikov, a hug.

His love for his fans Before the heart-breaking event, Shaun came out with a video he posted on YouTube and tweeted from his personal Twitter account, @shaun_white thanking his fans for their support.

He also jumped over the barricade separating fans and competitors to meet and greet them.

He knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without support and he’s not afraid to thank his fans and doesn’t think he’s too cool for it. Sure, every star thanks their fans but that doesn’t mean everybody is willing to literally jump over walls to do it.

He had surgery as a baby The snowboarding sensation was born with four heart abnormalities in a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot and in his first year of life, he had to have two open-heart surgeries.

It’s always inspiring to hear someone start from the bottom and come through surgeries at such a young age, but Shaun didn’t stop there. He now takes that same heart to fear-inducing heights and sends it speeding

downhill on only a small board. He’s the type of person that doesn’t give up (besides dropping out of slopestyle and the X Games but he’s just a really passionate person, too, and didn’t want to lose his focus).

And I guess he can snowboard, too Ultimately, so what if he came in fourth? I know it’s not what he wanted or what we as a country wanted, but he’s won two Olympic gold medals already, which is an incredible feat. He’s represented our country and already been shown to be the best not once, but twice before.

And in his third Olympic games, he still was the fourth best person in the world standing at the end of the day.

In my book, he’s still the best. And he’s still the background of my computer.
