Fitness classes that previously cost $50 per quarter will now be free for all students beginning Spring Quarter. The Council on Student Affairs worked with Recreation Sports to determine exactly where the $82 per quarter fee goes, and found that it did not go toward one specific student service. After talks with Rec Sports and other representatives from the Office of Student Life, CSA wanted to find a direct way to put student dollars into student programming. “One of the things we looked at was that fitness fee. Students were paying $50 a quarter to participate,” said Brandon Edwards, chair of the Recreational Sports committee representing the Undergraduate Student Government. “After looking at peer institutions, we tried to figure

more affordable,” Messenger said. “Having fitness classes for free makes it more affordable for every Ohio State student to work out and improve physical fitness … regardless of where they come from.” Don Stenta, director of Rec Sports, informed Rec Sports

employees of the change in an email. “This is a wonderful opportunity to engage new participants in our group fitness classes,” Stenta said. “At the same time, we want to make it clear that we are looking at ways to hold harmless those who have been dedicated participants during the school year to this point.” Jo Hirlinger, a first-year in international business, said she purchased the fitness pass the first two quarters she spent at OSU. Hirlinger said she is worried if the classes are free, they will be too crowded for her to get into every class she wants. “Anyone that buys the fitness class pass feels like they get their money worth out of it,” Hirlinger said. Under the current system, Rec Sports offers the group fitness classes free for the first and last week of the quarter. Hirlinger said these times are “crazy” for fitness pass holders.

Compliance, integrity office created

As the banner for the newly renamed Wexner Medical Center was unveiled, Leslie H. Wexner wiped tears from his eyes as “Carmen Ohio” was sung in the background. Wexner, an Ohio State alumnus, was honored Friday with the renaming of the Ohio State Medical Center to Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University. “I want to thank everyone for this unique honor,” Wexner said at a ceremony commemorating the renaming. “It is humbling and in a way, thrilling. But mostly what I feel emotionally is kind of, ‘Why me?’” The OSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously Friday morning to rename the hospital in honor of Wexner’s leadership and service to the university in the last three decades, President E. Gordon Gee said in an email to faculty, students and staff. “With our action today, the Board of Trustees has expressed to the world the university’s gratitude for the selfless commitment that the Wexners have shown to this university,” Alex Shumate, member of the Board of Trustees, said at the ceremony. Wexner acknowledged the contributions of his wife, Abigail, to the community and said his recent donation of $100 million to the university last February was largely from her. “The gift was made, was really instigated and solicited by her, of us,” Wexner said. “This is very much a gift from us … and the whole family, it should really be thought of and remembered that way.” A graduate of the university in 1959, Wexner said if it were not for OSU, he would not have attended college, and that his collegiate experience shaped his life. “That exposure and just openness to society and meeting different people, certainly was a gamechanger for me,” Wexner said. “It forms you.” Wexner shared that he remembers “vividly in college walking past the construction of Mershon Hall” on campus. “Pretty soon this building was up and it has somebody’s name on it,” Wexner said. “And I

In February 2011, Wexner donated $100 million to the university meant to be used primarily for the medical center, Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, Richard J. Solove Research Institute and Wexner Center for the Arts,

which was the largest single donation in the history of the university. Wexner has served on the Board of Trustees for 16 years, and as board chair he has played a key role in the $1 billion expansion of the medical center, according to a press release. In the email, Gee said the renaming “recognizes the critical work the Wexners have undertaken to ensure The Ohio State University Medical Center is able to solve some of medicine’s most persistent challenges and change lives for the better.”

Ayan Sheikh Lantern reporter sheikh.51@osu.edu In response to a number of armed robberies in the campus area Autumn Quarter, including one in a campus building, the university has invested in safety through the creation of several programs. At Ohio State’s Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, Javaune AdamsGaston, vice president of the Office of Student Life, and Jay Kasey, senior vice president for administration and planning, discussed improvements in safety because of “the unusual hike” in off-campus crimes last quarter. Adams-Gaston said educating students on ways to prevent themselves from becoming victims of crime was important. As a result, the Office of Student Life created the Buckeye Block Watch program to encourage students to take an active part in safety and crime prevention. “We are creating block watches with the students … and essentially these are opportunities for the students to speak with police, (and each other),” Adams-Gaston said. She called the social aspects of

the Buckeye Block Watch program powerful and said it will enable students to work closely together. Sean McLaughlin, director of Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement, told The Lantern the Buckeye Block Watch program was fused with the pre-existing Community Ambassador program at OSU. The Community Ambassador program is in its 10th year. “Community ambassadors are students who live in the off-campus neighborhood area,” McLaughlin said. “What they do is they work with our office and they do community-building activities.” McLaughlin also said ambassadors will host a total of 14 block watch meetings at their houses. A Student Life administrator and a Columbus Division of Police officer attend the meetings to facilitate and share safety tips with students. “It’s an opportunity for people on the street to come, to get a little bit of safety information, a little bit of training from the police officer,” McLaughlin said. So far, five of the 14 meetings have taken place. During the board meeting, AdamsGaston said students living in the

campus Compliance office created to improve integrity at OSU Dani Wedemeyer Lantern reporter wedemeyer.9@osu.edu After several months of planning and discussing a university-wide compliance program, Ohio State will create a new office called the Office of University Compliance and Integrity. Friday, the Ohio State Board of Trustees unanimously approved the plan, which was sparked after a year-long NCAA investigation into the university’s Athletic Department, including compliance. Bud Ellis, a partner in the law firm Dewey and LeBoeuf, advised the board on the matter. Ellis said the OUCI will be headed by one chief compliance and integrity officer, and all current and new integrity officers will report to that person in addition to their current supervisors. The chief, in turn, will report to senior leadership and existing offices involved with compliance. “(The chief officer) would have direct reporting to senior leadership at the university, in particular you have direct reporting to this (audit and compliance) committee, and it would have, on a day-to-day basis, dual reporting to the Office of Business and Finance and Legal Affairs,” Ellis said. “The existing compliance personnel and some additional staff would report to the chief compliance and integrity officer. This would ensure direct reporting and clear lines of communication.” Other recommendations include creating an enterprise-wide compliance and risk-assessment methodology, so the office can properly allocate resources. This would hopefully create a universitywide code of conduct in addition to the existing code of ethics and sporadic departmental use of various codes of conduct and a student code of

conduct. It would also hopefully establish a consistent methodology for compliance training. Compliance is mostly separated into three divisions: athletic compliance, Medical Center compliance and research compliance. Each area focuses on different goals and legal requirements. It was stressed that after an independent research company, Protiviti, studied compliance programs of other universities, specifically Big Ten schools and non-university compliance programs, it was clear that OSU was on par or better in most areas of compliance, and nowhere was it completely lacking. President E. Gordon Gee said the athletic compliance issues were the most public, but the university is most vulnerable with medical compliance. “The biggest vulnerability that we have with compliance is in our hospitals,” Gee told The Lantern. “The compliance in athletics is more public perception. If you spend a certain amount of your budget on athletics and it gets 90 percent of the airtime. So it’s a perception that you want to get that right … The notion of having a centralized compliance system is that we have a filter that is constantly looking at our overall compliance.” The probe was first initiated after the football program’s scandal involving players receiving improper benefits and ending with the resignation of former coach Jim Tressel. “At the time it was the view of focus for the board and the audit committee, supported whole-heartedly by the entire university family including our president, administration and athletic department to use that incident as an opportunity to take a hard look inward at our processes, which we felt were good but we wanted to look at them and see if we could make them better,” said Robert Schottenstein, chairman of the audit committee. Geoff Chatas, senior vice president and chief

He said there will be additional costs to implement this plan but that it will be worth it. “Part of what they’re looking at in their recommendations is implementing this new, kind of bestin-class compliance system,” Chatas said. “So yeah, there will be some costs for systems and people, but when you try to put a value on our reputation, and compliance function in general, it should be beneficial to the university.” Susan Alexander, a member of Protiviti who presented research to the Audit and Compliance Committee, said the board told her their expectations for the research and new plans were high. “The intent was for compliance to be a model among higher education, but also to be a worldclass compliance program,” she said. Research conducted by Protiviti also found many OSU compliance personnel are industry leaders, and there are a lot of dedicated resources for compliance

including the Audit and Compliance Committee. There is monitoring in 12 areas, which is fairly typical. OSU has an anonymous reporting line and has mostly informal processes to track compliance requirements, but an informal process is normal among universities. Schottenstein said the plan would take about a year to finish outlining and implementing, and it might change as new issues arise. “Let me make real clear that we’re still at the beginning, and if this architecture is approved today, we will then undertake the next 12 or so months construction, and there may be a little remolding and a few change orders along the way, but I think we have a very strong design,” he said. Gee made it clear this is “not auditors auditing auditors.” “It can be easy to create another layer in the system,” he said. ”(It’s) not another compliance issue, it’s a new way to think about things.” Kelsie Ozamiz contributed to this story.

Amanda Knapp (left), makes Valentine’s cards with Abigail George (right), at the Ronald McDonald House Feb. 11. Knapp founded Simply Friends Forever, an organization that provides activities for children in hospitals.

Non-profit organization provides normality, retreat for Nationwide Children’s patients Anna DUEE For the Lantern duee.1@osu.edu Four years ago, Amanda Knapp tried to find a part-time job through a babysitting service in Columbus, Ohio, to pay her way through college, but she never heard back from the agency. That led her husband to ask, “Why don’t you start your own service?” and two months later, she did just that, launching Sitting Made Simple in 2008. But that simple idea became so much more. Knapp received a call from the crying mother of a child at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, who needed a sitter to come to the hospital to spend time with her sick daughter, a new idea was born: Simply Friends Forever. Simply Friends Forever (SFF) is a non-profit organization that provides an arts and crafts session in which the whole family can participate, and offers a moment of normality without thinking of medical bills or surgeries. The focus of SFF is not only on the patients, but also their siblings, who often feel left out. “Having some creative time to take their mind off their troubles is sometimes as good as a night’s sleep, and the community it creates as they ‘craft’ together is great as they get to know each other and share their stories,” said Heidi Drake, a volunteer manager at the Ronald McDonald House. “SFF has come up with fabulous activities that both kids and parents can enjoy, so as many people as possible can participate and benefit.” Knapp said it took more than a year until she was able to turn her idea into SFF in September 2011. Through the support of her sitters and incoming

donations, Knapp had the foundation she needed for its first session. “I love volunteering and it’s such a good cause. It’s really rewarding,” said Jenna Craig, a SMS sitter. “But I stay away from (medical) topics, because (the families) come here to get away from that and you don’t want to bring that back up. Anything we can do to help to make it easier is worth it.” Three months later, the organization partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, where it had its first 2012 meeting Jan. 4. The Ronald McDonald House takes the project very seriously and makes sure that these meetings are a safe environment because of the sensitivity of the children’s circumstances. Knapp said she remembers a statement her mother made, saying the fact she is able to just sit at a table and decorate ornaments is perfect. For her mother, it was nice to come and focus on something so simple, Knapp said. Evelyn Kopp, whose grandson is a patient at Children’s Hospital, is taking care of her granddaughter, who is not allowed to come with her parents to visit her brother because it’s high-rated flu season. Kopp said although the hospital offers a sitting service, it only lasts for two hours and she never knows what to do with the rest of the time. “Our goal is to give them some piece of fun,” Knapp said. “We just want to bring some type of distraction to the children, and some normalcy to the parents.” SFF will continue its meetings every second Saturday and fourth Wednesday of the month at the Ronald McDonald House. For the future, Knapp is planning on cooperative events with COSI and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and expanding her service to Cincinnati.

Wexner from 1A

Gabbe said Wexner name is greatest honor to hospital. Wexner said he has faith in what the medical center can achieve. “I have every confidence that the complex medical challenges confronting us today will be solved at The Ohio State University through the collaboration among researchers and scientists from a broad spectrum of specialties,” Wexner said in the release. The medical center was created in 1834 and has since excelled to have 11 specialities highly ranked by U.S. News & World Report, according to their website. Larry Martin, lead technologist for MRI research at the medical center, has been at the hospital for 22 years and said he does not think Wexner’s lack of medical connection is important. “I don’t think it really matters if you’re a medical person or not,” Martin said. “I think the fact that you want to contribute to the process, to the cure, to the cause, is great.” Closing the ceremony, Dr. Steven G. Gabbe, CEO of the medical center, presented Wexner and his wife Abigail with white doctor coats with the new medical center name and logo. “There is no greater honor that could be bestowed upon our Medical Center than having the Wexner name, and for that, we just can’t thank you enough,” Gabbe said. The Wexners’ contributions have been more than financial, said Brandon Mitchell, graduate professional student trustee on the Board of Trustees. “The resources, not only financial, but the man hours that they’ve put in, make this an extraordinary reference by the university as a kind of thank you,” Mitchell said. “To be able to give something of this magnitude to them, I think it’s amazing.”

“It’s so crazy so I don’t even go,” Hirlinger said. Messenger said OSU now has to increase the supply of equipment and resources. “There are unmet demands when fitness classes are free, like the first week of the quarter,” Messenger said. “We haven’t had to increase supply, because there wasn’t a constant demand for it.” Corinne Jones, a first-year in anthropology and city and regional planning, agreed with Hirlinger. Jones said she goes to about 50 fitness classes per quarter, and is worried this change will prohibit that from happening. “Honestly I don’t even go during the first week of the quarter,” Jones said. “There are long lines, and there is not enough equipment.” Messenger said now OSU will be adding more equipment and classes to meet that demand. Jones said if the classes are free the entire quarter, she would not go as often as she does now. “It won’t be worth going to anymore,” Jones said.

number of assaults dropped to 31 in January from 51 in October, and robberies dropped to 32 last month from 35 in October. Numbers for the same area from previous years was not available. Crime rates are drawn from the University District by the city of Columbus. The University District extends from the Short North to just north of campus and into parts of Italian Village. Kasey said students weren’t the only victims in the crime reports; he said the numbers included all residents living within the University District. Austin Brown, a fourth-year in psychology, said he’s noticed the changes made in student safety and he’s pleased that university officials continue to work toward insuring students safety. “I feel much more safe … I’ve noticed a lot more cops being in the areas, traveling down streets together on separate streets,” Brown said. “I don’t know, it makes me feel better.” Following last year’s string of armed robberies, university officials have implemented a public safety notices system which informs OSU students, parents, faculty and staff by email of any serious crimes reported to police. The number of people receiving the safety notices has gone from 5,200 in the opt-in system to 96,000 now in the opt-out system.

The current fee, which is $50 per quarter or $5 per class, is a good price, Jones said. “It’s such a good system right now, no one is complaining about it,” Jones said. “It’s a bargain.” Edwards said he understands the concerns of students who think the system should not be changed. “We’re trying to incorporate as many students into our programming as possible,” Edwards said. Messenger said the goal is to provide for all students, and to protect current pass holders. “We’re going to protect those students who are regular users, and we’re taking the next step for students to make this more affordable for everyone,” Messenger said. Stenta, in his email, said details for how this will happen are still being worked out. Edwards said he has talked to several students who are very excited about the change to free fitness classes. In the end, Edwards said the goal was to give students more opportunities on campus, and to provide more services to students. “We had a good cooperative dialogue about these things,” Edwards said. “We hope that students are eager to take advantage of these new opportunities.”

Wexner Donations The Ohio State Medical Center received a new name and logo Friday in honor of alumnus and Limited Brands CEO, Leslie H. Wexner. Wexner and his family have donated more than $200 million to the university in the past three decades.

Because speeches are often not remembered, Wexner took a moment to speak to his children, in hopes they would remember what’s most important. “We try to make the world a better place,” Wexner said. “And I think it’s important that as you grow up, you think about that.”

“Today and as of this year, we bring everyone that we have an email or a text communication into our website and we push all the statistics out,” Kasey said. “Now when we notify people of crime, we notify 96,000 people, so it is a very hot topic.” Improvements have also been made to Student Safety Services. The Lantern reported late last month that the Student Safety Services received $50,000 to purchase two new Subaru Foresters. The money was donated by the Parents Advancement Council. Sean Bolender, coordinator of Student Safety Services, told The Lantern that Student Safety Services was able to provide transportation to a larger number of students with the addition of the two new vehicles. “For the month of January we’ve actually had an increase in capacity by 116 percent, so from last January to this January we’ve provided roughly 490 students more rides that we did the previous January,” Bolender said. “So that puts us in the 3,000 range for rides.” Bolender also said the safety escorts’ response time has improved and students no longer have to sometimes wait three hours to get a ride. “The addition of the vehicles has been great because we’ve been able to clear more rounds faster and be able to provide services to you faster,” Bolender said. In addition to the new vehicles, Student Safety Services has been able to hire more student employees because of an increase in funding from the university.

studentvoice Fans shouldn’t give Minaj all their ‘Luvin’’

CHRIS SCULLIN scullin.9@osu.edu

LANTERN Columnist

I consider myself a passionate fan of all kinds of music. Whether it’s hip-hop, jazz, classical, electronic, bluegrass, metal or anything in between, I can almost always find a way to enjoy it. Furthermore, I think exploring different musical genres will only expand one’s understanding of music, which will lead to a greater sense of appreciation. That being said, there is a certain “artist” currently plaguing the media with “music” full of nonsensical lyrics backed by an even more absurd persona. Obviously, I am referring to Nicki Minaj. Minaj displays her lack of wit when delivering lyrics such as, “If you could turn back time, Cher/ You used to be here, now you’re gone, Nair,” and, “When I’m at the game, I’m in the best row/ I am the baddest b---- up in the pet store.” Also, you would think that somebody who decides to become a professional rapper would realize that repeating the same word does not mean that you can rhyme. Minaj proves that it is now truer than ever that even the most talentless lyricist can make it on the radio. To clear things up, my problem isn’t with Minaj alone. There have always been plenty of untalented musical acts out there. But these acts usually never make it past performing at house parties

or bars before dying off. What is more revolting than Minaj’s music is the level of success she has gained through it. No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot comprehend society’s infatuation with her. Those who will argue that Minaj is worthy of her success need only to think about this logically. Let me present a few facts for you: • Minaj is the ﬁrst-ever female artist to be featured on MTV’s Annual Hottest MC list • Her newest video, “Stupid Hoe,” has accumulated nearly 29 million views on YouTube since it was posted on

Jan. 20, an average of about 1.2 million views every day • Her debut album, “Pink Friday,” reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 • She is the ﬁrst artist ever to have seven singles in the Billboard Hot 100 at one time Even fans who claim to enjoy “Stupid Hoe” will most likely not be boasting that it is Minaj’s best work. Yet in less than a month, the video has already received more than 10 million more views on YouTube than Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady,” which is arguably one of the best videos of the last 15 years. The fact that “Pink Friday” was the No. 1 album in America is a testament to the ludicrousness of the Nicki Minaj obsession. Even the most legendary artists, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Queen, Jay-Z and Elton John, were unable to reach the No. 1 spot with their debut album. Finally, by becoming the first artist ever to have seven singles in the Billboard Hot 100 at one time, Minaj has proved that even leeches can break records. Though six of the seven songs are merely cameos where she is featured on another artist’s song, she still technically holds the record.

But Minaj is no stranger to swimming in somebody else’s wake to gain popularity. Around the time that she released her 2008 mixtape “Sucka Free,” her outfits were more down to earth than her current attire. But shortly after Lady Gaga rose to fame with her debut album, “The Fame,” Minaj began imitating her by dressing as outrageously as possible. At Sunday’s Grammys, she was spotted sporting a Little Red Riding Hood-esque outfit. While some people will claim that Gaga simply stole the idea from Madonna, at least she waited a couple of decades to do so. Minaj stole Gaga’s act while Gaga was still current. Further, it was not until after Lady Gaga started calling her fans “monsters” that Minaj began calling her fans “barbies,” though Minaj claims she came up with this idea on her own. Lastly, Minaj sports digitally enlarged eyes in her “Stupid Hoe” video. This is a direct rip-off of Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” Don’t get me wrong here, Gaga is as freakishly weird as Minaj. But at least Gaga has a good message. Gaga speaks for human rights, with lines such as, “There’s nothing wrong with lovin’ who you are … So hold your

head up girl and you’ll go far.” Minaj’s lyrics are a bit cruder: “How bout I c-- all on your d--- and then I lick it off.” When it comes down to it, Nicki Minaj is just a glutton for attention backed by some people with large amounts of money who make sure that she gets it. Personally, I’m looking forward to ﬁve years from now when people look back on the Minaj fad and realize how brainless it was to ever have pretended to enjoy her.

THAILYR SCRIVNER scrivner.2@osu.edu

I used to despise my name. Growing up I wanted nothing more than a personalized Mickey Mouse pen with my name on it. However, most every place had pre-made items with “common” names, which my sister Ashley made sure to rub in my face. I definitely got my fair share of “you have a boy name” throughout grade school and the embarrassment of a lecture from my teacher after a fellow male kindergartner told me I was supposed to spell my name T-y-l-e-r. It even went so far as accidently being introduced as “Trailer Scrivner” at my high school soccer game. I think I even found myself debating

whether or not to legally change my first name to something a little more attractive once I was of age. College has definitely changed anything I recently thought about a name and my perception of self. As I’ve tried to establish myself as a writer and professional, the comments about my “weird” name have taken the back burner. I don’t think until recently, and maybe it’s just because of my choice to pursue journalism, that I’ve realized a name is no longer just a name, it’s a brand. As a society we spend so much time focusing on what we don’t have and the

what ifs than making the most out of what we already do. A name is now much more. It’s now who we are and it’s what we do. Our name is now associated with all our accomplishments. I’m now glad I have a chance of not being mixed up with the Brittanys and the Rachels and have a chance to stand out as being an individual. Especially now when I’m sending out massive quantities of resumes in a hard economy, standing out amongst peers is crucial. What once used to embarrass me has now given me a step ahead of some. I find that people remember me because I’m “the girl with the weird-spelled name.”

Even if I’m not yet being remembered by my work, at least I’ll be remembered at all, and that’s worth something. Although that’s not quite the lasting impression I want to make, being remembered is a start. And let’s face it, you gotta start somewhere.

Kyrie Irving will feel Varejao’s loss, pick up slack for Cavaliers LANTERN Columnist

ETHAN STRAUB straub.60@osu.edu

Delayed by a 161-day lockout, this NBA season has been far from pretty. Not only has the quality of play taken a hit with jump shots looking rusty and teams way out of sync, but the injury-bug has hurt teams all around the league. But in this young season the Cleveland Cavaliers, until last Friday, had been taking advantage of these post-lockout effects. Thanks to the work stoppage that spanned from July 1 to Dec. 8, the start of the NBA season, which is usually scheduled for the week of Halloween, was pushed back nearly two months to Christmas Day. The length of training camp was cut in half, and offseason team activities were prohibited. This meant that not only could teams not work out and train together, but that ailing players were not able to have access to their team’s normally year-round medical staffs. And the effects are being seen across the league. The shortened training camp has taken its toll on the offenses of many teams around the league, as teams scored an average of just 94.2 points per game in January, the first month of the season, which was the lowest average for any month since March 2004. Injuries have also been prevalent around the league as star players have been going down at an astonishing pace, with the likes of 2011 MVP Derrick Rose of the Bulls, Miami’s Dwyane Wade, Boston’s Rajon Rondo, and San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili all missing significant time in the early-going. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg as dozens of

big-name players have hit the injury report for extended time. While the shortened training camp and injury rash appeared to be affecting older teams such as the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, the Cavs seemed to be benefiting from the lockout. A team comprised of a great deal of young players and just a few veterans, the Cavaliers’ youthful legs have given them advantages in many games this year. With rookie point guard Kyrie Irving continuing his rapid progress, leading the team in scoring with 18 points a game, and veteran center Anderson Varejao having a career season averaging 10.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, along with solid contributions from many unsung players, the Cavs have played better than anyone, including fans in Cleveland, anticipated. Coach Byron Scott’s run-and-gun offense keeps the tempo up in an effort to beat the defense down the floor for easy buckets, as opposed to running a traditional half-court offense. This style of offensive attack, which many older teams shy away from so as not to wear on their veteran-laden rosters, has evened the playing field somewhat for the undersized Cavaliers. Coming off a huge home win

over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 4, the team sat at 9-13, half a game behind Milwaukee for eighth place in the Eastern Conference and riding high. But the ugly effects of the lockout proved too much for the Cavaliers to escape, as three nights later, Irving suffered a concussion in a loss to the Heat that would lead to him missing three games. And then Friday night, the Cavaliers suffered a devastating blow as Varejao fractured his wrist in a loss to Milwaukee that could sideline the big man for six weeks or more. Now sitting at 10-16 and in 10th in the East, the Cavs will welcome back Irving in their Wednesday home game against Indiana, and he will be feeling the pressure of Varejao’s injury. The loss of Varejao, the league’s leading offensive rebounder, is a huge blow for a team without many big names, though it will show a lot of what this team is made of. The pressure of the Varejao injury will fall squarely on the shoulders of Irving, but if what he has shown thus far is an indicator of what’s to come, then the Cavs will remain in the thick of things, vying for that last playoff spot in the East. So don’t close the books on the season just yet, Cavs fans, because the Kyrie Irving show is about to begin.

Katie Harriman Lantern reporter harriman.14@osu.edu North Campus Video gave customers what they won’t find at a Redbox — human interaction, staff recommendations, obscure, almost-impossible-tofind films and personal pornography previews in the comfort of their own booth. But that will soon change. The store, located at 2471 North High St., will be open until its sells all the videos, which are priced at $5.99, and will continue to drop in cost. Co-owner John Swift said he anticipates the store will close at the end of March. North Campus Video opened in 1978 as North Campus News, a vendor of newspapers and magazines. After changing its name to North Campus Video, it grew into one of the most taboo shops in Columbus, offering mostly pornographic material, including “preview booths” where patrons could watch a porno before deciding to rent it. By the early ‘90s, laws in Franklin County made the “preview booth” operation too much of a hassle, but the store held onto its large selection of adult material while adopting more mainstream videos, cult classics and obscure titles. David Hoke, the other co-owner, and Swift watched the evolution of VHS to DVD and now digital. Along with the digital age and kiosk rental services such as Redbox, they said road construction outside their store in 2008-09 is partly to blame for closing the landmark campus location. “You couldn’t park on High Street, or even get into our parking lot from High Street,” Hoke said. “It hurt a lot of small businesses in the area.” Swift said they couldn’t recover after the construction.

“We tried to give it a run after that,” Swift added. “But we were never able to get back to where we were.” With more than 10,000 videos, North Campus Video managed to outlive the Blockbuster and Hollywood Video that were located down the block. Matt Egan, 35, has worked at the North Campus Video, and its sister Video Central stores, for 14 years. The two Video Central locations closed within the last five years. Egan said the feeling of leaving is “bittersweet.” “It’s like a death in the family,” Egan said. “It’s all I’ve known my entire adult life, but it’s kind of good to have a different path to take.” Egan said the depersonalization of services in recent years has resulted in the end of the “hub of counterculture” that existed in video stores. Egan attended Ohio State and said he remembers the first time he visited North Campus Video. “As soon as I got to college, I knew about this place. It was legendary,” Egan said with a smile. “You could have frat boys talking to punk-rockers debating about movies. It was just a place for people to come together.” With the closing of locally-owned and large chains across the country, the experience of visiting a video rental store is something younger generations might never experience. Egan said many of his childhood memories involve going to the video store with friends. “Every Friday night, my mom would take me and some friends to Blockbuster, get some pizza, rent a couple video games,” Egan said. “The younger generation now, a lot of them don’t even know what it’s like to go to a video store. It’s evolution. It’s the way things go, but it’s the end of an era.” Swift, 42, said they hate to close the store because they have so many customers who come almost daily.

“I know customers who walk in, I know their names, what they like to watch,” Swift said. “You say, ‘Hey, right over there if you wanna see that, here I’m holding this one for you if you want to see it.’ So that’s the thing we’re really going to miss.” Hoke said he is concerned about finding a new job, but he is more sad to see the store close because, along with Dick’s Den and The Blue Danube, it was one of the older businesses on High Street. “I’m 61 years old. I’ve gotta start looking for a job,” Hoke said with a sigh. “It’s going to be rough, but I’m more sad for our customers who’ve been coming here for so long.” Martin Cole, 56, has worked at North Campus Video for 10 years. He said he is proud that North Campus Video lasted as long as it did in today’s market, but the proximity to campus should have kept them in business. “Here’s a campus of 50,000 people that will have nowhere to go except Redbox. No video stores will be servicing campus at all,” Cole said. “You can’t go in and put your hands on something. It’s good to pick stuff up, look at it and decide, but I guess if there were more people who liked to do that, we would still be here.” Gabriel Morris, 33, an OSU alumnus, recently returned to Columbus after moving around the country for seven years. He said he was sad to learn the store was closing just as he moved back to the area. “It’s the best video store I’ve come across, and I’ve lived in Boston, Chicago, and other big cities,” Morris said. “The selection, variety, pricing, wonderful, helpful staff. It’s just a gem. It’s a campus landmark.”

The entertainment world has suffered another loss: the death of the incomparable Whitney Houston. After her many struggles with sobriety and confrontations with the media, the singer was found dead in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., Saturday. Despite Houston’s uphill battle with addiction, she is noted to be one of the greatest entertainers of all time. The singer and actress shattered the charts with her ground-breaking hits such as “The Greatest Love of All,” “I Will Always Love You” and her own rendition of the nation anthem, prompting many to dub her “The Queen of Pop Music.” With the news of her passing, many took to the web. “R.I.P. Whitney Houston” and “#IWillAlwaysLoveYou” became trending topics on Twitter and people began paying their respects to the late entertainer and her family. Sadly, the level of grief could not overpower the ignorance that was developing. People began to make jokes about her death and her addiction problems. People belittled her passing with thoughts of, “Another addict gone,” and, “Who cares, people die every day,” in their tweets. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that’s not my issue. My issue is the lack of respect a person can have for the deceased. Granted, Houston has been in the public eye for her

fight with addiction and has sometimes made herself an object of ridicule with her outlandish behavior and comments during award shows, or her interview with Diane Sawyer in which she coined the phrase, “Crack is whack.” It deeply bothers me to know that there are people who have no respect for her or her grieving family. Oftentimes, when superstars pass away, the public only focuses on their flaws and never celebrates their achievements. It’s like some people only care about Houston’s shortcomings, forgetting the fact that she was human, that she made mistakes and had to deal with those internal issues every day. It’s disgusting to me to see people are making a parody out of someone’s death. Death is not a fun matter whether the person is a celebrity or not. Why make a mockery of a death? Is it entertaining? Is it easy to hate someone you don’t even know, or is that a way for you to feel powerful over your own insecurities? If you don’t want to share your condolences to her family and pay your respects that’s fine, but don’t be completely heartless and ignorant. Houston was more than an entertainer to the black community and to the entertainment world. She was, to many, our princess. Her grace, style, charisma and timeless beauty gave us all a reason to love and emulate her. She set the bar of excellence high and paved the way for many popular female artists of today. Regardless of her misfortunes, she was a very gifted woman and her legacy will continue to grow and live through her fans.

correctly. I think that’s what messed us up the most with our shooting.” It wasn’t only Sullinger who struggled. Streaky senior guard William Buford mustered four points on 2-of-12 shooting from the field. Sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas also only converted 2-of-12 from the field. So why weren’t shots falling for OSU? The Buckeyes had plenty of good looks, and in some cases, it seemed as if they simply couldn’t buy a basket — except from the free-throw line where OSU converted 18 of 22 free throws. “You have to make a shot, have to put the ball in the basket,” OSU coach Thad Matta said after the game. “Some of the looks we had down the stretch were rough. I’m not taking anything away from Michigan State — they had a lot to do with it. I thought our defense was good enough, but you can’t shoot (26) percent.” On first glance, OSU’s offensive output (or lack thereof) was reminiscent of its performance against Kentucky in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, when the Wildcats sent the No. 1-overall seed Buckeyes packing in the Sweet 16, handing OSU a 62-60 loss. The Buckeyes only managed to shoot 32.8 percent from the field in their disappointing seasonender, highlighted by Buford’s dreadful 2-of-16 mark from the field. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said the play of Buford Saturday, as well as the play from the rest of

the OSU squad, was uncharacteristic, but credited it to his defense. “I thought Ohio State missed some shots that I normally see them make,” Izzo said. “We had to run them to wear them down a bit. It was physical both ways.” That it was. The teams combined to shoot 38 free throws in a typically brutal Big Ten slugfest. The slower pace resulted in OSU only producing 48 points, from its average of 76.9 points per game. Sullinger was visibly frustrated at times. He drew plenty of contact in the lane and frequently conversed with officials for foul calls. MSU’s defense collapsed on Sullinger, helping to force his 10 turnovers. “Most of the turnovers I had were me going up for shots,” Sullinger said. “I wasn’t expecting the double (teams) because that’s not what Michigan State shows on film.” Craft said the team needs to regroup. “We have to refocus,” Craft said. “We’re still at the top of the league. We’ve got a long way to go.” Despite handing OSU possibly its ugliest loss of the season, Izzo said he is still impressed by the Buckeyes. “I don’t feel any different than I did a month ago or six months ago,” Izzo said. “Ohio State’s the best team in the league and (Saturday’s game) doesn’t change anything.”

Monday

Entering Saturday’s contest against conference foe Michigan State, the Ohio State men’s basketball team was one of the premiere shooting teams in the country. By game’s end, OSU had produced its worst shooting performance in five years. The Buckeyes came into the matchup ranked 10th in Division I, shooting 49.1 percent from the field. There was no such luck Saturday for OSU at the Schottenstein Center, who lost to the Spartans, 58-48. The loss snapped OSU’s 39-game home winning streak, which was the second-longest active streak in the nation. The Buckeyes shot 26 percent from the field on 14-of-53 shooting, its lowest output since converting 24.6 percent of its shots in a 2007 matchup against Texas A&M in Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y. Sophomore forward Jared Sullinger struggled all game long, notching 17 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He pulled in 16 rebounds but also committed 10 turnovers. “We were out of sync; we weren’t going to play our offense,” Sullinger said. “Everybody wasn’t paying attention to the plays and didn’t run plays

Andrew Holleran Senior Lantern reporter holleran.9@osu.edu The streak is over. The Ohio State men’s ice hockey team defeated Western Michigan Saturday night, 4-3, and with the win the No. 15-ranked Buckeyes ended their 11-game winless streak. OSU (15-11-5, 11-10-5-1 CCHA) was 0-7-4 in 2012 coming into Saturday night’s contest, after losing to the No. 18-ranked Broncos (15-12-5, 12-9-3-3 CCHA) Friday night, 3-2, in the first game of the two-game set. On Saturday, with the Buckeyes trailing 2-2, OSU junior forward Alex Carlson scored twice in the final 5:24 of the third period to give OSU the win. Buckeye freshman forwards Max McCormick and Ryan Dzingel also tallied in the victory. After falling behind, 1-0, in the second period on Friday, the Buckeyes got out to a fast start Saturday. Midway through the first period, McCormick scored a power-play goal at 9:14 with assists from Dzingel and freshman defenseman Ben Gallacher. Following the tally, the Broncos committed another penalty

25 seconds later, and the Buckeyes converted with a goal from Dzingel at 10:23 in the opening period. OSU’s power play had been struggling coming into this weekend. The Buckeyes were 0-14 with a man advantage in two losses to Michigan State in Columbus last weekend. OSU got back on track this weekend, scoring four power-play goals. WMU responded to OSU’s two power-play goals in the first period Saturday with three straight scores. At 17:58 in the first period, the Broncos cut the Buckeyes’ lead to 2-1 with a score from WMU sophomore forward Chase Balisy. Following a scoreless second period, WMU took the lead with two quick goals. At 7:23, freshman forward Will Kessel backhanded a shot past OSU senior goalie Cal Heeter during a 4-on-4. Just 52 seconds later, WMU junior defenseman Matt Tennyson tallied to give the Broncos a 3-2 lead with a little more than 10 minutes remaining. Carlson regained the lead for the Buckeyes for good with two late goals. The first came on the power play at 14:36 after OSU freshman forward Darik Angeli’s shot was blocked, but Carlson was there for the rebound score to tie the game 3-3. The second came at 16:36 when

OSU players celebrate after scoring a goal against Michigan in the Frozen Diamond Faceoff Jan. 15 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. OSU lost, 4-1. Carlson buried home a puck that was just outside the crease. Heeter made 21 saves in net for the Buckeyes in the victory. With the win, OSU is now alone in fourth place in the CCHA with 39 points, two points back of third-place Michigan and one point ahead of Michigan State and Lake Superior State, which are tied for fifth place.

WMU is in second place with 42 points, five points back of first-place Ferris State. The Buckeyes have this weekend off before playing their final series of the regular season on Feb. 24 and 25 against Miami (Ohio). The two teams will play in Oxford, Ohio, at 6:05 p.m. Friday and in Columbus at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.

Sullinger needs to stay calm, keep his hands to himself for Buckeyes to succeed Sports editor Pat Brennan brennan.164@osu.edu

Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo pitied Ohio State Jared Sullinger after Saturday’s game. After helping guide MSU to a 58-48 win against the Buckeyes, Izzo made an obvious statement, saying that Sullinger faces an increased scoring burden when his Buckeye teammates, like senior guard William Buford and sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas, who shot a combined 4-of-24 from the field, struggle to score. “(Sullinger) is so hard to guard and I just thought today … (Buford) had not a very good

game and Thomas didn’t have that kind of game,” Izzo said. “Then everything falls on poor Sullinger.” Everything didn’t fall on “poor Sullinger,” though — he fell apart on himself, and grasped at the limbs of the opposition while he fell. Sullinger bundled 17 points and 16 rebounds with 10 turnovers in OSU’s loss to MSU at the Schottenstein Center. He was 5-of-15 shooting from the field, and was, at times, visibly disturbed by Saturday’s proceedings. When he wasn’t complaining

to the referees, OSU’s sophomore forward appeared to jaw with Spartans’ senior forward Draymond Green throughout the game, emerging after some of the not-so-friendly conversations grinning and looking to the crowd for encouragement. In the second half, Sullinger hauled Green to the floor, grabbing the MSU player’s leg after falling. It should be noted that no foul was called on either player after the incident, and the two forwards shook hands at midcourt during the next stoppage in play. Make no mistake — the act of tripping

Green was deliberate. It was a result of Sullinger losing his cool and one of them could have sustained an injury as a result. After the game, OSU coach Thad Matta said he wasn’t sure if Sullinger’s frustration on Saturday equaled previous bouts of in-game discontent, adding that the big man was a positive force in team huddles throughout the contest. “I’m not sure I saw frustration like I’ve seen him have before,” Matta said. “I thought he did a pretty good job of playing through all the things.” That’s a scary thought

because it certainly appeared that Sullinger had blown a fuse. Sullinger is a fantastic player, but the focus didn’t appear to be there at times Saturday. OSU can’t afford to have him fly off the handle like that because it might cost them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Izzo is right. Sullinger clearly makes the Buckeyes go. That’s why the team needs him to keep his cool in the final six games of the regular season, as well as the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. Sully, just keep your hands to yourself and let’s get on with it.
