An oil portrait of Charles E. MacQuigg, former dean of the College of Engineering, was stolen from MacQuigg Laboratory sometime between 2 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Kenneth Kushner, laboratory and facilities manager for materials sciences engineering, told The Lantern he estimated it will cost $3,000 to replace, though the painting itself had no value.

Another portrait that was recently done for the department was smaller in size and cost about $1,000, he said.

There are 14 entrances to MacQuigg, and Kushner said it is possible that one of them was left unsecured.

“Sometimes grad students will prop the door open in order to keep access to the building,” Kushner said. “So it’s hard to make sure all 14 entrances are locked and secured.”

Kushner said it has not yet

been determined if the university will replace the painting.

“It’s still too early to even discuss what we would or wouldn’t do,” Kushner said.

The painting, measuring 32 inches by 40 inches, was completed by James Ray Hopkins, Kushner said. “(Hopkins) also has a building named after him on campus. He was an electrical engineer, who was also an artist and he did serve as chair of the art department,” Kushner said.

Kushner said the oil-on-canvas painting has sentimental value to the university, and the department would like to see it returned.

“If this is a prank or say, just a student theft, or if it’s hanging in someone’s living room, we just want it returned safely,” Kushner said.

According to the Ohio State Police report, the frame screws had been removed and the oil painting had “been pried out of the frame, causing damage to the frame.”

As students spend Tuesday celebrating loved ones with heart-shaped gifts, some experts say they should also take a moment to focus on their own heart health.

According to the American Heart Association’s 2011 update, 14.2 percent of men between the ages of 20 and 39 and 9.7 percent of women in the same age range had an occurrence of heart disease.

Dr. Martha Gulati, director of preventative cardiology and women’s cardiovascular health at Wexner Medical Center, said heart disease is becoming more of an issue in young people.

“Heart disease factors are becoming more common in young adults and that is a concerning trend,” Gulati said.

Feb. 15, 2011, Ohio State alumnus Patrick John Fox died from what the family believed was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease, after using a high-intensity home exercise system, said Christina Fox, Patrick Fox’s sister and a fourthyear in business management and logistics at OSU. “We are not blaming the (workout) program, we are more about awareness,” said Mary Fox, another of Patrick Fox’s sisters and a fourth-year in food business management.

Patrick Fox’s condition turned out to be genetic, and there was no way for him to take preventative measures because his first sign that something was wrong was also his last.

“We just want people to be aware of my brother’s situation and get their hearts checked,” Christina Fox said.

Roses are red, violets are blue. It’s Valentine’s Day, what will you do?

Many Ohio State students have plans to celebrate on the holiday of love, even if it’s just a night spent with friends.

“I’ll probably hang out with my friends and see ‘The Vow’,” said Allison Griesmer, a first-year in psychology.

“The Vow,” is a romantic drama film, released Feb. 10, starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum, that quickly became No. 1 at the box office.

University Residences and Dining Services is also getting in on the holiday spirit. The Ohio Union’s Sloopy’s Diner offered a special Valentine’s Day dinner for students on Feb. 13 and 14.

In a private dining room, students can order a three-course meal including dishes like lobster bisque and prime rib, priced at four swipes per guest.

Assistant manager of Sloopy’s Diner, Mitch Kibble, said all the reservations hadn’t been filled yet.

“We’ve only had about 20 people sign up so far,” he said.

While some will enjoy a nice dinner with their significant other, not all students are interested in observing Valentine’s Day. “I’m not Catholic, so I don’t celebrate it. It’s a cool holiday, usually for couples though,” said Mannen Asefa, a third-year in history of art and art education.

President E. Gordon Gee sent an email to all students asking them to join him in a Valentine’s day project to compile a video of students’ favorite place on campus.

In the email, Gee asked the students to submit videos of them in their favorite place.

“Go to your favorite place on campus and briefly tell me what you love about it, with your smart phone or any email-ready video,” Gee wrote.

Gee said the video would be made live on his Facebook page on Valentine’s day for everyone to see. Gee provided an example of what the video should look like, explaining that his favorite place on campus is the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Others students said they think the holiday is too commercialized.

“It’s a corporate holiday, point blank. I don’t think that we should have a certain holiday to celebrate women, we should do that every day,” said Epifanio Torres, a fourth-year in criminology.

Torres said he doesn’t think Valentine’s Day is a holiday for men.

“I mean, what do you even get a guy for Valentine’s Day?” he said. “No one can ever think of anything.”

Despite his reservations, Torres said he still enjoys observing the day.

“It’s a good excuse to go out and celebrate the love of your life,” he said.

Last year Torres said he wrote his thengirlfriend a poem.

“Making her happy was my success on Valentine’s Day,” he said.

campus Prop 8 ruled unconstitutional, affect on Ohio uncertain

Brandon Rosin Lantern reporter rosin.7@osu.edu A federal appeals panel ruled last week that California’s same-sex marriage ban, Proposition 8, is unconstitutional, putting the law on track for U.S. Supreme Court consideration.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional.

“Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples,” wrote Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt. “The Constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.”

Lawrence Baum, a political science professor at Ohio State, called the decision narrow. The wording of the decision was “absolutely deliberate,” he said.

Rather than take on the broader issue of whether the Constitution protects same-sex marriage, the ruling focused on how Proposition 8 took away a right previously held by citizens of California.

“By using their initiative power to target a minority group and withdraw a right that it possessed, without a legitimate reason for doing so, the People of California violated the Equal Protection Clause (of the 14th Amendment),” Reinhardt wrote.

Proposition 8 was held unconstitutional on those grounds, Reinhardt wrote.

“Now, the court was not saying it would be OK in other situations,” Baum said.

Instead, the court’s decision relied on the very specific situation of California, where a law removed a previously-held right.

Andrew Gammill, a second-year in law and leader of the OutLaws, a Moritz College of Law student organization that deals with the legal issues in gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities, called the decision “inspiring” for what it does for the gay community, but he didn’t like the decision’s narrow nature.

“I think it would have been more clear and more inspiring of a decision if it had taken on the broader issue,” Gammill said.

As the decision was made by a 3-judge panel, the next step in the court process is two-fold.

2A

Proponents of Proposition 8 can either ask a larger panel of judges to review the case or appeal directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“It’s a step that could delay the case getting to the Supreme Court by a lot of time,” Baum said. “My guess is that they’ll go to the Supreme Court.”

It’s uncertain how the case will affect Ohio for now. Since the appeal was decided so narrowly, the ruling only affects situations such as California’s, where a previously-held right is taken away. The Supreme Court can choose to take the case either narrowly, as the 9th Circuit Court did, or broadly to decide on gay marriage as a right.

The issue of same-sex marriage has been a heated one across the United States. Thus far, only seven states have legalized the act.

Washington became the seventh state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage on Monday when governor Christine Gregoire signed a law that legalizes same-sex marriage and converts most domestic partnerships.

“We did what was just, and we did what was fair. We stood up for equality and we did it together – Republicans and Democrats, gay and straight, young and old, and a variety of religious faiths,” Gregoire said in a release. “I’m proud of who and what we are in this state.”

The law will take effect on June 7, 2012 unless opponents collect enough signatures to take it to a state-wide voter referendum.

The Ohio Constitution defines marriage as “a marriage between one man and one woman.” The definition was amended into the Ohio Constitution in 2004. Because Ohio has never allowed samesex marriage, its legal status in the state would be unchanged even if the Supreme Court agreed with the 9th Circuit’s decision, unless it rules on the issue broadly.

Baum said he could see the justices going either way — narrow or broad — but “the fact that the 9th Circuit decided narrowly makes it likely the Supreme Court will do the same.”

Gammill said he hopes for more certainty from a Supreme Court decision.

Diego Robledo, a third-year in engineering, said he hopes the Supreme Court allows same sex marriage and that he disagrees with Ohio having a constitutional definition of marriage.

“I don’t think there should be a law that defines marriage,” Robledo said.

OSU student named Churchill Scholar, receives opportunity to study at Cambridge Kelsie Ozamiz Lantern reporter ozamiz.4@osu.edu Marc Khoury, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, was named the third Churchill Scholar in Ohio State history, earning him a trip to England to study what he loves to do.

The Winston Churchill Foundation awards 14 scholarships annually to graduating seniors or recent graduates in America who display exceptional academic talent, outstanding personal qualities, and a capacity to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the sciences, engineering or mathematics.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Khoury said of his initial reaction after receiving the news that he won on Jan. 7. “There were no words. I still don’t believe it, and it’s still not apparent that I’ve won this.”

The scholarship will grant Khoury and the other 13 scholars one year at the University of Cambridge in England to conduct post-graduate study in a related field. Khoury said he will be joining a Cambridge research group, which studies computer graphics and imaging.

Since freshman year, Khoury has been working with Rephael Wenger, an associate professor of computer science and engineering, conducting research with algorithms and data visualization.

Aerobic exercise is a good alternative to extreme workouts.

Getting your heart checked can be as easy as buying an at-home blood pressure test to getting more detailed tests such as a CT scan or a stress test at a doctor’s office, Mary Fox said.

Intense home workout programs, used by many, have become increasingly popular among college students.

“It is not a dangerous workout if done correctly, and done if the person has the clearance of their doctor,” Gulati said. “The concern is with raising your heart rate; if you raise it too excessively and are not following it, it can be dangerous.”

Dr. Laxmi Mehta, clinical director of the Women’s Cardiovascular Health Program at the medical center, said it is also important to recognize dangerous symptoms while using these workout programs.

“Symptoms include chest pains, gasping for air, short of breath — more than you should be after five minutes of activity — heart racing and being light-headed,” Mehta said.

If students are looking for a less intense way to work out, aerobic exercise can be the best kind.

Types of aerobic exercise can include walking and

“For an undergrad to have a paper, which this was just a two-author paper, is huge,” Wenger said. “Sometimes you get an undergrad named on a six-author paper, but he did a lot of work. It was really just me and Marc working on this 50-50.”

Khoury, from Strongsville, Ohio, told The Lantern he has known he wanted to pursue a career in computer science since high school.

“When you start off, it’s really just learning how to code,” Khoury said. “I started in an intro-programming class in high school, and I was learning how to write just simple programs to be run on a computer, but what it felt like to me was the whole world had just opened up. I could do anything I wanted, and I was limited only by my own imagination.”

Antoinette Khoury, Marc’s mother, said as a parent she is very proud of Marc after watching him work so hard and grow up a lot during his four years at OSU. “When he started at OSU, it was such a different environment for him,” Antoinette Khoury said. “He

“Simply move and don’t sit too much. Do at least 30 minutes a day, but know that more is better,” Gulati said. “If you start as a young adult making exercise part of your daily life, it will be a habit.”

The American Heart Association has developed a program online called the “My Life Check” assessment, which is an online survey to help users know their category of health and steps they can take to improve it, Mehta said.

February is American Heart Month, not only focusing on symbolic hearts and love, but also on our actual hearts with “Wear Red Day,” part of the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign.

“Wear Red Day,” which was Feb. 3 this year, occurs the first Friday of every February. This day is characterized by wearing red to raise awareness of heart disease.

“Ohio State’s Ross Heart Hospital has a monthlong display of hanging-hearts in the plaza outside the hospital, as well as lights inside the lobby,” said Emily Keading, marketing coordinator at the medical center.

Gulati said the hanging-hearts displayed facts about heart disease such as: Laughing is good for your heart, take care of your teeth (they are linked to your heart), quit smoking and every 20 seconds someone has a heart attack.

Marc Khoury has had two internships in the past year. Last summer he interned at AT&T Labs in New Jersey, and in fall he interned at Amazon.com in Seattle.

“For an undergraduate, he’s accomplished a significant amount in four years,” said Dana Kuchem, program manager at the Undergraduate Fellowship Office. “The places he did internships at are pretty competitive … For Marc the recognition is wonderful, but it’s not really about winning a big award, although it’s an honor. This allows him to really go after what he wants to accomplish.”

Marc Khoury is the second Churchill Scholar fron OSU in the last two years. He said he has spoke to OSU’s 2011 Churchill Scholar, Tyler Merz, about what to expect in England next year.

“I expect it to be an absolutely amazing year,” Marc Khoury said. “I’ll be surrounded by incredibly intelligent people at a really cool place, culture, a lot of history and one of the best universities in the world. It’s going to be an unforgettable year.”

Marc Khoury will begin his year at Cambridge on Oct. 1. He said after Cambridge he plans to attend graduate school, most likely at University of California, Berkeley, and eventually wants to focus on academia and teaching younger generations about computer science.

Kushner said he does not believe anyone would have a motive to steal such a portrait, other than for a prank or some type of joke.

“James Hopkins has allegedly done many portraits of faculty members and they are all over campus,” he said.

I love spaghetti, I love dancing and I love Christmas. I love my friends, Ohio State and football. But that’s not what love really means.

So what is this four-letter word that we overuse everyday, and what does it mean?

When you were young, love used to mean your love for parents and other family members. “I love you Mom,” would follow after she put a bandage on your knee.

You grew up, high school came around and you dated

the captain of the football team and you thought you know what love is. Maybe you finally got the courage to ask your high school crush to prom, that girl you’ve been “in love” with since seventh grade.

Then college came; the ultimate mix of hormones, alcohol and the opposite sex.

What is your perception of love? If it’s the guy or girl at the bar who smoothly buys you a cocktail and then takes you home for a great night and awkward morning, is that love?

What about the first person in college you meet and think it could be the one so you even make it Facebook official?

Love is thought of as a fairy tale. Prince Charming will come and sweep you off your feet, write a song for you and then you’ll live happily ever after.

Take a step back. The meaning of this four-letter word has changed and grown with us since we were very young. It has shaped what we feel is important, what we most value and most importantly, who we are. So is the word still developing and

has it hit a standstill in our life because the thought of real love scares us?

I have been in love one time in my life and funny enough, he was from Michigan. But what I learned not only from that experience is the meaning of selfless love, to love someone, to desire what is best for them and to push yourself to be a better person for them.

So many people love to be loved. So many just give a part of them so they can take an even bigger part of the person they are with.

Selfless love begins by loving someone unconditionally and knowing that you might never be loved back in that way and to care more for the well-being of someone other than yourself.

So now, I can say I like Ohio State, I like spaghetti and I like dancing. I love Jesus Christ, I love serving the homeless, I love helping my best friends and I love the man who taught me that love is much more than the fairy tale we imagine — ­ It is much greater.

ALEX ANTONETZ antonetz.3@osu.edu In a rather surprising twist of events, the 54th Annual Grammy Awards were not necessarily the train wreck I had imagined.

Adele swept every category in which she was nominated, taking home six Grammys, including Album of the Year for “21” and Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Rolling in Deep.” None of that was unprecedented, sure, but her dominance said a lot.

First, let’s look at Adele against acts such as Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” performance needed no theatrics — it was her with a band and backup singers. Perry and Minaj needed cheap thrills and theatrics to get a rise out of viewers, yet it was Adele who received a lengthy standing ovation for her performance, not Perry or Minaj.

Also, Adele is proof that the adage “sex sells” isn’t necessarily gospel. Adele doesn’t quite embody Hollywood’s notions of “sexy,” but her six Grammys, astronomical sales and her impressive standing ovation were proof that she doesn’t need a six-pack, skimpy outfits or blatant innuendo in her lyrics to be successful.

Outside of Adele, the performances were hit or miss. Rihanna and Coldplay’s collaboration wasn’t much of a collaboration, which was disappointing.

Foster the People and Maroon 5 helped reunite The Beach Boys in a good, but not great performance. Jennifer Hudson singing “I Will Always Love You” in tribute to Whitney Houston was handled extremely well in one of the highlights of the night.

Minaj’s performance was putrid, but so were others. The “dance” performance, featuring David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Deadmau5 and Foo Fighters (for some reason) was awkward and didn’t really fit. I’m not a fan of the dubstep movement, but if the Grammys were going to try to help make the genre more legitimate, why not spotlight Skrillex, who won three Grammys on the night?

As for the awards, there were no real shockers, despite Taylor Swift consistently

resorting to her “surprised face” after winning each of two Grammys. Foo Fighters swept virtually every rock category, taking home five Grammys in total, and in an ironic moment, got played off the stage

by LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” while criticizing auto-tune. Despite being snubbed in the Album of the Year category, Kanye West took home four Grammys, including a Best Rap Album win for “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.”

There was seemingly a lot of pandering to older audiences, with performances from The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and a guest appearance from Glen Campbell. Apart from that, there wasn’t a lot to complain about, which I’m sure won’t be the case when the 84th Academy Awards go down Feb. 26.

On the ice it’s possible the Columbus Blue Jackets players are getting black eyes, but this week they’ll also be sporting black ties.

The Blue Jackets Foundation will host the 6th annual Black Tie Blue Jackets Style Show at 7 p.m.

Thursday at Nationwide Arena. The style show is a fashion show devoted to celebrating “heroes” of pediatric cancer.

Pediatric cancer is one of the primary focuses of the Blue Jackets Foundation, along with education, children’s health and safety, and youth and amateur hockey. This year’s style show has already raised an estimated $300,000, said Jen Bowden, executive director of the Blue Jackets Foundation.

The show is meant to celebrate heroes and their “strength, hope and courage,” which is the theme of this year’s show, according to its website.

All of the Blue Jackets will be in attendance and some will even appear in the show.

The players love getting involved in this event, Bowden said.

“I think they all in their own way can think back to when they were kids and remember what professional athletes meant to them in their lives as role models,” Bowden said. “They understand that there’s a debt of gratitude.”

Ashley Poland, a fifth-year in early childhood education, is participating in the show for the first time this year. Last year, on her 23rd birthday, Poland was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma.

Surgery and chemotherapy forced Poland to take a year off of school, and she returned to Ohio State this fall.

Poland said she has enjoyed her time working with the Blue Jackets recently. She wasn’t really a fan of the team before, but she said she gladly is now. “I guess it’s nice being a role model for people

Searls’ act, Bird & Flower, will be performing at the Grandview Heights Public Library at 7 p.m. Thursday for the Music in the Atrium series.

The composition of Bird & Flower’s music often varies. While chiefly a solo act, she sometimes employs her friends to create an ensemble that uses a combination of a ukulele, a banjo and a lap steel guitar, among other instruments. Recently, Searls has added an omnichord, an electronic instrument similar to the autoharp, to the mix.

“It’s kind of a democratic instrument,” Searls said. “Anybody can learn to play it really easily. It’s based on a traditional folk instrument, but sounds like a cheesy ‘80s keyboard.”

Bird & Flower plays “quiet, weird electronic music mixed with more traditional folk music,” Searls said.

Searls said she is glad to be a part of the Columbus music scene, she said.

“It’s great,” Searls said. “There’s a lot of really good bands. There’s little pockets of folk music where I tend to hang out, but there’s a lot of different types of bands playing. It’s not all indie rock.”

All-ages shows at “non-traditional venues” such as Wholly Craft!, a craft and art shop in Clintonville, are what Searls said she prefers to play.

“I actually prefer shows that aren’t centered around alcohol,” Searls said.

Searls said she doesn’t have a specific genre that influences her, but she has a strong interest in other female musicians. Some of her influences include Amy Annelle, The Softies and Dolly Parton’s early work.

“I try to listen to mostly female music,” Searls said. “There was a point when I was a teenager when I realized all I listen to is dudes and I was like, ‘I gotta make a change.’”

Searls has been writing songs since age 17, but it was not until 2007 that she began playing her music on stage. She has since played with Columbus bands Super Desserts and The Black Swans.

Eve Searls, a graduate of the OSU Moritz College of Law and musician in Bird & Flower, is scheduled to perform at the Grandview Heights Public Library at 7 p.m. Thursday. to sing melodies and notes that other singers can’t find,” said Jerry DeCicca, co-founder of The Blacks Swans, in an email. “Her voice reminds me of a singer from the 1940s, and her lyrics are smart, but never without being emotional. One of the reasons why they’re a great band is because they aren’t afraid to find new sounds to express themselves.”

Searls said she hopes Bird & Flower will be releasing a new record sometime next year.

She said she is glad to enlist others to help make music with Bird & Flower.

“It’s not just me alone in my apartment anymore,” she said.

Canaan Faulkner, coordinator of adult

programs and web content at the Grandview Heights Public Library, said Bird & Flower is the kind of group the library enjoys having perform for the Music in the Atrium series. “(We want) to be kind of a community center that includes learning and leisure,” Faulkner said.

The GHPL has concerts like this to support local arts.

“I think the best most people can hope for is to be able to afford to tour and be able to keep making music rather than to make a bunch of money on a major label or something,” Searls said. “I’d be happy to just be able to keep making records.”

The experience has reminded Poland to appreciate the things she has, she said.

Eric Mayer, a third-year in sports and leisure studies and intern for the Blue Jackets

Foundation, said he is excited to be involved in the event.

“This is sort of the culmination event of what we do as an organization, and it’s just sort of a very real thing,” Mayer said.

“Here (at the BJF), we come in and we make a difference in people’s lives every single day in a very substantial way.”

There will be a reception and meet-and-greet before the show at 5:30 p.m. Auctions will also take place throughout the evening. Tickets can be purchased at bluejacketsformal.org and formal attire is not required.

@LanternSports

Justine Boggs Lantern reporter boggs.1047@osu.edu Ohio State basketball fans know Aaron Craft is smooth on the court and Jared Sullinger’s got game, but what about off the court and in their love lives? Is Craft the smooth-talking boyfriend who serenades his girl with Miley Cyrus tunes? Does Sullinger take his woman on romantic dates?

And how do their girlfriends handle the female fans?

Amber Petersen, a second-year in medical dietetics, is Craft’s high school sweetheart and has been with him for more than three years.

“Actually, we dated in eighth grade … our first kiss was after a movie,” Petersen said.

DeAnn Smith is a fourth-year in sports and leisure studies and has been Sullinger’s girlfriend for eight months. She said their love started at MarketPlace.

“I tore my ACL playing rugby, and (Sullinger) always used to help me when I was on crutches at Younkin (Success Center),” Smith said. “But we didn’t officially meet until we were both at MarketPlace hanging out.”

Of all of Sullinger’s attributes, she said she loves the big kid inside the man who wears the No. 0 jersey.

“He’s humble, down to earth and goofy,” Smith said of Sullinger. “My favorite quality about him would definitely be his personality.”

Petersen said the same of Craft.

“I love his personality,” Peterson said. “He’s always positive and friendly, and a caring person.”

Sullinger said he has tunnel vision and can focus only on basketball, school and family, so being in a relationship isn’t as hard as he thought.

“She’s a wonderful girl and she makes me happy,” Sullinger said.

“That’s all that matters.”

Craft said he appreciates honesty from someone other than a family member.

“She’s not afraid to tell me what I need to hear,” Craft said. “When I mess up, she’s going to tell me I

messed up, and when I do something right, she’s there to tell me.”

But as happy as the couples are, Craft and Sullinger’s relationships aren’t immune to jealously issues.

“I would say (Sullinger) gets more jealous than I do,” Smith said. “It’s annoying sometimes but I know he makes time for me, and he shows he is dedicated to me.”

Petersen said Craft’s publicity took some getting used to. “(His) being friendly is the worst and best thing about him,” Petersen said. “Other people around can think (Craft) is leading them on because he’s so friendly, but that’s what I also love most about him.”

Smith said a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio, was the best date the couple has been on, and Sullinger even won her a giant teddy bear.

“Although I had to ride a lot of rides by myself because he couldn’t fit, we still had a good time,” Smith said.

Petersen said she and Craft have had a lot of great dates throughout the years, but Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and a Zac Brown Band concert were her favorite. Craft said that lately the couple has picked up a new hobby.

“Recently, we have been cooking together,” Craft said. “Well, she’s doing most of the cooking, for dinner or breakfast. Her culinary skills have improved greatly.”

As far as the future, Craft and Peterson said they’re not worrying about it now.

“I mean, we’ve talked about the option of the NBA,” Peterson said. “I want him to finish school first, but we try not to think about it.”

Sullinger already passed up an opportunity to become a high draft pick in the NBA after last season and may have another tough decision to make this year. Regardless of the situation, Smith said she and Sullinger will talk about their future when the time is right.

“We’ll see where our relationship is, but I will support whatever he does,” Smith said.

For now, the couples are enjoying

“I think it’s so funny when Aaron tries to pump up the crowd,” Peterson said. “It works, I just think it’s funny.

“And we still laugh about the Miley Cyrus video,” Peterson said in reference to Craft’s high-pitched rendition of “Party in the USA,” which he performed with other members of the 2010-11 OSU team.

Smith said that she and Sullinger sing to each other during games.

“When there’s a good song that comes on during timeouts, Jared will

be singing. Watch for it,” Smith said.

As for Valentine’s Day, the team will be in Minnesota for a game, and Smith said she’d be surprised if Sullinger got her something for the holiday.

“With Jared, you never know,” Smith said. “I think I’ll get him something creative and dorky.”

Petersen said she plans to make Craft a dessert for the occasion.

“We actually said ‘no gifts this year,’” Peterson said. “But he’s probably going to get me flowers. He better!”

‘Spoiled brats’ look to rebound in Big Ten Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu

Short-term memory. That’s the solution Ohio State men’s basketball sophomore forward Jared Sullinger prescribed to his teammates Monday as they prepare for their first game since Saturday’s widely-scrutinized loss to Michigan State.

The Buckeyes (21-4, 9-3 Big Ten) will have their first chance at redemption Tuesday when they travel to Minneapolis, Minn., to play the Minnesota Golden Gophers (17-8, 5-7 Big Ten).

OSU shot 26 percent from the field in the loss to MSU, resulting in a first-place tie in the Big Ten stangings between the Buckeyes and Spartans.

Sullinger bundled 17 points and 16 rebounds with 10 turnovers in the game. OSU’s big man, along with other Buckeyes players, was also visibly frustrated during the contest and was seen engaging opposing players and the referees numerous times.

During a Monday press conference, Sullinger said the team complained too much during the game.

“Honestly, we looked like spoiled brats out there if you look at the tape,” Sullinger said. “Arguing with one another, you know, complaining about calls. Just kind of looking like spoiled brats out there.”

Senior guard William Buford agreed, saying he was disappointed by the team’s performance.

“We still know that we played real bad,” Buford said. “We just don’t want to have anymore of those games.”

Buford called the opportunity to play again so quickly after the loss a “great turnaround.”

“I think we get to show the world that, you know, that was just kind of a fluke for us,” Buford said. “We’re going to try to stay together as a team.”

The quality the makes OSU capable of bouncing back is a shortterm memory, Sullinger said.

“If we keep dwelling on this Michigan State game and just keep harping on it and just keep talking about it, pretty soon, we’re just going to … be able to focus on the next game and let one slip past us,” Sullinger said.

As far as more tangible objectives in place for OSU, players and coach Thad Matta agree that they need to stay within the team’s offensive system.

Despite straying from its usual offensive success, OSU still ranks No. 2 in the Big Ten in scoring offense and

No. 1 in point margin with 76 points per game and an average margin of plus-19 points.

Those statistics could go a long way in a game against the Golden Gophers, who lost their last game in overtime against Wisconsin last Thursday, 68-61.

Minnesota’s offense is ranked No. 7 in the conference, averaging 69 points per game. Golden Gophers coach Tubby Smith boasts a 62-20 record in his five seasons at Williams Arena, which is also known as “The Barn.”

Matta said Monday that he is aware of Minnesota’s success on its home court, but added that his team likes playing on it too.

“I think they’ve usually got pretty good teams that play pretty well at home,” Matta said. “We’ve got in early shoot around in (The Barn) tomorrow.

I think these guys kind of like that place.”

Matta also said the team will take

what it learned from Saturday’s loss and aim it toward Minnesota.

“With such a quick turn around, we take a look at the things we didn’t do particularly well,” Matta said. “Our guys have a pretty good understanding of that.

Still, Sullinger stressed the need to move forward and to forget some of what happened against the Spartans.

“We just need to not do what we did against Michigan State and just do what we do,” Sullinger said. “We went away from (our offensive) system … as long as we stay within the system and just play basketball and stop being robots, I believe we can come out with a win.”

That was something Matta and Sullinger agreed on.

“We’ll have them ready to go tomorrow night,” Matta said. “I know that.”

OSU’s Tuesday game at Minnesota will tip at 9 p.m. and be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
