OSU attempting to crack down on food thefts Timeline: Food theft reported at the Union Market
KARLIE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.359@osu.edu After multiple thefts at Ohio State dining facilities were reported over the last academic year, a Student Life spokesman said measures are being taken to prevent more of such incidents from happening. University Police has arrested at least six people for theft of food at Ohio Union’s Union Market since the beginning of the academic year, according to police records. The value of the food and beverages customers attempted to steal in these cases totaled more than $40, according to University Police reports. Theft can take several forms, said Dave Isaacs, spokesman for Student Life. “Someone may be actively putting food in their pockets and trying to steal it, but we also have a great many cases where someone will be standing in line and eating something that they don’t wind up paying for,” Isaacs said. The type of food stolen varies too, Isaacs said. “The vast majority are smaller items, in price and size — the sort of thing you can eat while in line, can easily conceal or walk out with without anyone noticing,” Isaacs said. When staff members catch customers eating or attempting to conceal food they have not paid for, they are instructed to confront the customer, Isaacs said. “We approach the person. Many times if a staff member points out, ‘Excuse me, but are you going to pay for that?’ and the student says, ‘Yes I will, no problem,’ they pay and all is well,” Isaacs said. However, further measures need to be taken in some cases, Isaacs said. “There are other instances where people are repeat offenders, or make an obvious effort to conceal that they’ve taken something. We’ve involved OSU Police and Student Conduct on these cases,” Isaacs said. According to the OSU Code of Student Conduct, any student found to have engaged or attempted to engage in theft is subject to disciplinary action by the university.

source: University Police reports employee at the Union Market, has noticed some items are more likely to be stolen, noting that pretzels are a common target for thieves. “The biggest problem we have here is people eating the (soft) pretzels, or something else like that that doesn’t have a sticker that they can just eat while they’re in line and then crumble the trash up and put in their pockets,” Reiner said, though she added she’s never personally dealt with someone stealing. A “large pretzel” was among the items stolen in two instances at the Union Market this year, according to University Police records. Reiner said those pretzels cost $2.50. Issues arise with salads sometimes as well, Reiner said. “People eat off of their salads and since those are weighed for cost, that affects the price,” Reiner said. Isaacs said it is hard to pinpoint exact figures on how much food is stolen and the resulting effect on prices. “There just isn’t the kind of tracking that’s going to let us say (those numbers) … But any time you have theft, your customers wind up ultimately paying for that. That’s true in food service, retail operation and any kind of business. Ultimately, costs get passed to consumers,” Isaacs said. Isaacs said students aren’t the only perpetrators of food theft, as people unaffiliated with OSU steal as well. Three of the at least six people arrested this year for stealing or attempting to steal food at Union
Market were not affiliated with the university, according to University Police records. Increased security measures have been taken to reduce theft, Isaacs said. “For the most part we use building security and where there are particular problems, we have assigned Student Life members to be especially on the lookout,” Isaacs said. Isaacs said new theft prevention initiatives are in the works. “We have a program, Student Ambassadors. This is still in the developmental stage, so we haven’t actively moved this forward, but these would be students whose focus would be customer service and customer care (in the dining facilities) … They could be helpful in being vigilant with theft,” Isaacs said. Jovana Vladicic, a first-year in biology, said she doesn’t understand why other students would steal. “It seems kind of dumb. If you have blocks with the meal plan, you don’t need to steal food,” Vladicic said. A meal plan with 350 blocks and $150 BuckID cash costs $1,875 per semester, while a plan with 450 blocks and $150 BuckID cash costs $2,275. Vladicic said while she has never seen someone stealing, she could easily see it happening in the Union Market. She said it’s “smart” the entrance is a one-way in Marketplace on South Campus, which is set up similarly to Union Market, so students cannot exit the food area without passing cashiers.
Buckeyes look to avoid another B1G home loss No violation
found for USG campaign
ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu Typically in college basketball, playing at home merits a sigh of relief from players, coaches and fans. But for Ohio State — and the majority of the teams in the Big Ten for that matter — playing at home hasn’t necessarily been a safe zone this season, particularly in recent games. The No. 24 Buckeyes have lost three of six home conference games so far this season, most recently a 70-60 outcome to then-No. 15 Michigan Feb. 11. But in arguably the team’s biggest setback of the year, OSU fell at home in overtime to Penn State Jan. 29, 71-70, a loss that at the time senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. called “embarrassing.” On a broader scale, all three Big Ten teams playing host Sunday — then-No. 9 Michigan State, then-No. 15 Michigan and Northwestern — fell, and the continued misfortunes perennial Big Ten powers have had this season begs a question: what’s the reason for all the losses on home court? “I think it’s just circumstance. I don’t know,” OSU coach Thad Matta said Tuesday. “All three home teams lost Sunday. I don’t know exactly what it is and I think it’s just kind of the nature of this league and the nature of college basketball right now.” Matta’s Buckeyes (20-6, 7-6, fifth in Big Ten) are next set to host Northwestern (12-14, 5-8, ninth in the Big Ten), one of the teams that fell at home Sunday. Matta said it’s on him if OSU isn’t able to avoid another embarrassing home defeat like the one to the Nittany Lions last month. “Well, if they’re not (prepared), that’s my fault,” Matta said. “I mean seriously you can’t be — what are we, 12 games into this league? — and not have a pulse of what’s going on. Obviously we’re doing our part in terms of preparation and that sort of thing, but these guys, I know they know what’s at stake here.” OSU slogged its way past Illinois Saturday, defeating the Fighting Illini in Champaign, Ill., 48-39, despite only scoring 20 points in the first half. The big contributors in the second half were OSU’s bench players, who overall outscored Illinois’

OSU freshman forward Marc Loving looks to shoot a layup during a game against Michigan Feb. 11 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 70-60.
17-2. Freshman forward Marc Loving tallied eight points himself, scoring his first points this month. A slump like Loving’s could prove frustrating, but Loving said that wasn’t necessarily the case because of his mindset shooting the ball. “I think every shot I shoot is going to go in. So if I miss one, I think, ‘Oh, the next one’s going to go,’” Loving said Tuesday. “If I miss that one, the next one’s going to go in. Eventually it’s going to go down.”
The road win at Illinois was OSU’s fourth victory in five games, and with four of their remaining five contests against teams in the bottom half of the league, the Buckeyes look to be in good shape to get some momentum going into the postseason. Loving, however, said now is not the time to let thoughts like that get into their heads.

An Undergraduate Student Government campaign accused of failing to report a campaign expense was found not to have committed a violation. There was a judicial panel hearing Tuesday about the case. The panel — which consists of a clerk of court with eight judges and a chief justice, who are all students — found that USG presidential candidate and current vice president Josh Ahart and his runningmate Jen Tripi had not committed a violation in a case brought against them by three other campaign teams. “The judicial panel has unanimously decided that Josh and Jen were not found in violation of falsifying documents submitted to the judicial panel. Therefore, no penalty has been assessed,” the clerk of court emailed statement, which was obtained by The Lantern Tuesday, said. The email also said the decision could be appealed. The plaintiff brief had alleged the Ahart-Tripi campaign team failed to report the purchase of a domain name “clearly meant to deter an opposing campaign.” The brief was filed by Celia Wright, Leah Lacure, Vytas Aukstuolis, Nicholas Macek, Mohamad Mohamad and Sean Crowe. The domain name in question was “voteceliaandleah.com,” which public record from GoDaddy, a domain and website service, showed was registered to an email address belonging to the Ahart-Tripi campaign manager Tim Lanzendorfer in November.

campus OSU enters agreement with software company, earns $275K upfront licensing fee Liz Young Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu Ohio State has signed an agreement with a software company that is set to bring in several million dollars over the course of the contract. OSU announced the signing of an agreement with Signet Accel LLC Tuesday afternoon. The deal has already brought OSU $275,000 in an upfront licensing payment, which goes to “the university and the College of Medicine,” according to an OSU release. The release also said the agreement “is projected to generate several million dollars in licensing fees during the life of the agreement, as well as equity for the university.” Melanie Baker, a spokeswoman for OSU’s Technology Commercialization and Knowledge Transfer office, was not able to provide information about the exact value of the agreement and the terms of the contract because she said the agreement’s terms are “confidential.” “The agreement includes an up-front licensing fee of $275,000, equity, royalties and minimum annual payments which will result in significant and sustained financial benefits to the university and to the College of Medicine,” she said in an email.

Students react to hawk spotted on Oval
Lee Mcclory / Lantern reporter
A red-tailed hawk perches on a tree on the Oval.
Lee McClory Lantern reporter mcclory.10@osu.edu A red-tailed hawk has caught the attention of some students at Ohio State this semester. The hawk doesn’t necessarily live on the Oval, as Barbara Ray, wildlife education director at the Ohio Wildlife Center, said hawks typically hunt within a 10 mile radius, however some students said they’ve seen a hawk there this semester. “I saw it eating a rabbit in January,” said Adam Pickard, a second-year in business. “Nine or 10 people were lined up taking pictures of it, probably to post on Instagram.” Josh Edwards, a third-year in social work, said he’s seen the bird more recently. “I was really surprised. I saw it flying off a tree. I thought, ‘That’s a big wingspan,’” Edwards said. “That was on Monday (Feb. 10).” Red-tailed hawks are common in Ohio, and while it isn’t odd for a red-tailed hawk to nest in a city, typically they dwell in open spaces, Ray said. She added, though, the hawks are moving into urban areas more frequently.
“They’ve learned that if they are in places that are more populated and welllit, they get more warning about predators,” Ray said. “(OSU has) probably had them nesting on (its) campus for years.” She said OSU has the living requirements a hawk seeks. “You guys have a lot of big trees, and the main requirement is the right-sized tree and a certain type of tree,” Ray said. “(The hawk) may just use campus as a hunting ground because there are so many squirrels.” Red-tailed hawks typically choose trees that are about 65.3 feet tall, according to a University of California Oak Woodland Management study. Red-tailed hawks are the most common kind of hawks in North America and have an average lifespan of 21 years. They typically have a wingspan of 38 to 43 inches, according to “National Geographic.” Ray said, though, if the hawk ever came too close to a person, they should know that hawks are fairly easy to scare away. “Hawks are scared to death of umbrellas,” she said. “Certain objects look strange and scary to them.”

OSU officials as university priority areas. The $400 million plan includes expanding research and hiring new faculty. OSU plans to bring in about 500 tenured or tenure-track faculty over the next 10 years as part of the initiative, costing about $100 million. There is also set to be $250 million in one-time funding made available for startup costs like staff, equipment and facilities. That money is slated to be obtained through monetization efforts, affinity agreements and cost-saving initiatives outlined in the OSU strategic plan, according to the Discovery Themes website. For the new faculty hires besides those each college has allocated for, approximately $50 million is slated to be provided by the Office of Academic Affairs. The funding is set to be taken from increases in OSU’s endowments. That $50 million is also set to be matched by OSU’s colleges to total $100 million for new faculty, half of which will be reserved for hiring tenured and tenure-track faculty with focuses in Discovery Theme areas, according to the website. Signet Accel plans to open a location near OSU’s campus to allow it to “take advantage of a highly skilled biomedical and computational work force being trained at the university,” according to the release. The technology set to be involved in the new agreement was developed by OSU’s Department of Biomedical Informatics, where the two faculty members who founded Signet Accel are employed. “Our innovative technology platform allows health care organizations to share and analyze data in ways
that have not previously been possible, eliminating the technical and regulatory challenges that result from trying to centralize sensitive information and enabling those entities to generate critical insights from distributed and complex data in a highly secure and on-demand manner,” said Philip Payne, the department’s chair and one of the co-founders, in a released statement. Peter Embi, vice chair of the department, was the other co-founder. Baker, too, said the agreement is set to benefit health care organizations. “At the core of this collaboration is a unique set of technologies that have resulted from over a decade of research at Ohio State, and that allows healthcare organizations to quickly, easily, and securely share their data, without the costs and difficulties of centralizing such information,” Baker said. The company that formed Signet Accel, Akronbased Signet Enterprises LLC, works in business development and corporate financing. Its chairman, Anthony Manna, is an OSU alumnus. “Signet and Ohio State share a passion for advancing faculty-developed technologies into the global marketplace,” Manna said in a released statement. “The team from Signet, led by Aaron Bates (COO) and George Ammar (CFO), worked with Ohio State to advance this technology and develop a model that Ohio State and Signet will use for future opportunities. As an Ohio State alumnus, I am very proud of this collaboration that also benefits my alma mater.”
USG event offers first glimpse at campaigns Isabella Giannetto Lantern reporter giannetto.5@osu.edu Ohio State Undergraduate Student Government’s six presidential candidates had their first chance to campaign this week. An event called Floats and Votes was held Monday evening at the Ohio Union, as attendees enjoyed different kinds of ice cream floats and sundaes while they learned about USG’s role on campus. Brandon Cruz, a member of the USG Judicial Panel and a first-year in political science and economics, said the event was essentially an election symposium. “It is to gather undergraduate students to become more familiar with USG and USG elections,” Cruz said. “Therefore, they can become more involved within the university as well.” Tyler Byrum, chief justice of the judiciary and a fourth-year in engineering physics, said although campaigning officially starts Wednesday, Floats and Votes gave candidates the opportunity to introduce their platforms and give a preview of their policies ahead of time. Cruz said the event was good for the candidates to start establishing their campaigns. “The benefit of this event for the candidates is that it allows them for the first time to officially begin to tell the undergraduate student population their dreams and hopes if they were elected,” Cruz said. The six different campaigns, which are running on different platforms, each had a table and interacted with students who wanted to learn about their policies. Celia Wright, a third-year in public health and the USG senior internal affairs director, is running for USG president along with runningmate Leah Lacure, a third-year in public affairs and the USG deputy chief of staff, the only all-female pair set to be on the ballot. “Our slate has five main points we’d like to address including improving meal plans like bettering the block system, introduce a new safety plan, build up education across public and private Ohio schools, working to get a bike-share program on campus and improving student voice about academic advising,” Lacure said. Ryan Hedrick, a third-year in linguistics and a presidential candidate running with Nicole Spaetzel, said he is hoping to focus on emphasizing health resources for students if elected. “Our main themes and main talking points include renewing things such as our mental health, physical health, financial health and spiritual health,” Hedrick said. “Other policies include renewing inclusion, academics, the environment, student transportation, biking on campus, technology, USG,
Campaign from 1A The plaintiff brief argued failing to report the alleged purchasing of the domain name was a violation of USG bylaws. “Given that almost three months have elapsed with no documentation of the purchase and the clearly malicious nature of the purchase, meant to interfere with the operations of another team, it is evident that the failure to disclose information was not a simple clerical error but instead an act meant to mislead the judicial panel and obstruct an opposing campaign,” the brief said. Ahart said after the hearing he was excited about the panel’s decision. “We are thrilled that the judicial panel ruled unanimously in our favor, as Jen and I never committed any bylaw violations,” Ahart said in an email. “We’re very excited to focus on the issues that affect students in the upcoming weeks.” If found guilty of the alleged bylaw breach, Ahart and Tripi could have been taken off the ballot, however the brief stated that punitive action shouldn’t have been taken against the nearly 40 General Assembly candidates running on the AhartTripi slate. The registered campaigns set to appear on the ballot are: Ahart and Tripi; Wright and Lacure; Aukstuolis and Macek; Mohamad and Crowe; Andrew Warnecke and Logan Recker; and Ryan Hedrick and Nicole Spaetzel. The Warnecke-Recker and Hedrick-Spaetzel campaigns were the two campaigns not listed on the plaintiff brief. USG campaigning is set to begin Wednesday with voting between March 3 and 5. Wright, a third-year in public health and USG’s senior internal affairs director, said she was “surprised” with the judicial panel’s decision. “I am not sure that it sets a good precedent for the culture of campaigning that we want to conduct,” she said. “I think sometimes the (judicial panel) rules in favor of the least controversial decision.”
our outreach and our commitment to Columbus, but even if we don’t win, all of our points will still be talked about.” Andrew Warnecke, a third-year in political science who is running for president with Logan Recker, is campaigning on student voice and student choice. “There are many things I could do to help serve the students better, and one thing is that I think we need more of a visible student government,” Warnecke said. “With six candidates, students have the chance to choose the best to serve them, so I try to emphasize my love for people at OSU and why I want to serve them.” Nick Macek, a third-year in geography and a vice presidential candidate running with Vytas Aukstuolis, a third-year in public affairs, said their campaign is centered around three main points. “Our slate is focusing on responsibility, interconnectedness, and representation of the student body,” Macek said. “For example, we really want to emphasize our point about interconnectedness and connecting to smaller groups.” Mohamad Mohamad, a third-year in chemical engineering and engineering physics and presidential candidate, is running with Sean Crowe, a second-year in chemical engineering. “What we want to focus on is problem-solving, and since we are both engineers, we look at the issue is hand and think about what the solutions are,” Mohamad said. “We want to make leaders out of people and not just be the only people leading, through things like business programs and taking things to the next level with our resources and knowledge.” Josh Ahart, a fourth-year in public affairs and current USG vice president, is another presidential hopeful, running with Jen Tripi. “There are several different issues my committee and I are going to be working on, including improving safety for students on-campus and off-campus, working toward improving affordability because that’s a big issue with students, and sustainability,” Ahart said. “The biggest thing I’d like to say is that we really care about the students’ voice and that we need as much student input as possible, every single day, because this is the students’ university.” Russell Patterson, a second-year in political science and economics, attended the event to learn about the different campaigns and their policies. “The event was a good idea and a great way to get everyone together for people like myself to meet the candidates in a casual way instead of just reading about their policies online,” Patterson said. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.
Wright said she didn’t agree with one particular part of the panel’s decision, which she said had agreed with the defense’s argument that the domain could have been a personal purchase made by Lanzendorfer. “I disagree that the domain was merely a personal purchase of the campaign manager and I’m interested in how voters feel about that alleged use,” she said. “I’m not sure why he would want to own that domain … the defendants said that we would be leaving something to chance if we assumed that it was not simply for personal use.” Aukstuolis, a third-year in public affairs who is not currently involved with USG, said he, too, was worried about the implications of the decision. “I hope the decision (doesn’t) start a precedent for future campaigns to start fundraising to block the ability of other teams to campaign effectively along with other dirty campaign practices,” Aukstuolis said. He added that he “disagreed completely with a lot of the (defense’s) points,” but thinks the judicial panel would have wanted “overwhelming evidence” to disqualify a USG member from the election. Mohamad, a third-year in chemical engineering and engineering physics who does not officially hold a position in USG this year, said in an email his feelings on the decision were from the “perspective of the undergraduate student.” “As a student, I am going to vote for the president, vice president and senators that best represent me. The fact that people are being allowed to campaign unfairly with no consequences, and breaching trust before they are even elected concerns me as a member of the undergraduate student body,” Mohamad said. Wright said the incident is still going to have an impact on the election, regardless of the findings. “Leah and I now have the responsibility of setting an example for campaign ethics as we realize – we realize that that example needs to be set now,” Wright said.

Kris Devine, the osu vice president for business and finance operations, was named deputy chief financial officer, effective Feb. 18.
New Role from 1A
Chatas’ 2013 base salary was about $669,760, according the Columbus Business First DataCenter. Lewis said there will be no change in Chatas’ salary for moving into the new position. Chatas has served as CFO and senior vice president at OSU since February 2010. He worked for AEP Texas Central Transition Funding LLC prior to his appointment. Kris Devine, the OSU vice president for business and finance operations, was named deputy chief financial officer, effective Tuesday, to assist Chatas during the transition period, according to the email. Devine earned a base salary of about $319,400 in 2013, according the Columbus Business First DataCenter. Lewis said Devine’s move is a promotion, but he was not able to immediately provide details on her new salary Tuesday evening. Devine has served in her current role since July 2011. Alutto said Dr. Michael Drake, who is set to become OSU’s president June 30, was consulted on the timing of the changes. “I have reviewed these issues with PresidentDesignate Drake, and the timing of these processes will be such that he will play a major role in determining (hiring) outcomes,” the email read. The Lantern was unsuccessful in attempts to get immediate comment from Drake Tuesday evening.
Gabbe earned a base salary of $844,600 in 2013, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said in an email. Gabbe came to OSU in 1987 as a professor and chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology, but left in 1996 to become chair of OB-GYN at the University of Washington Medical Center and later dean at Vanderbilt University’s School of Medicine, according to the Medical Center website. He returned to OSU in 2008 as CEO, Lewis said, and has since been a part of leading the Medical Center’s $1.1 billion expansion project that is planned to be completed later this year, according to Alutto’s email. Meanwhile, Geoff Chatas, OSU chief financial officer and senior vice president of business and finance, is set to move into the role of senior vice president for optimization and integration and Medical Center chief transformation officer, effective March 1. He is slated to remain CFO “until his successor is able to begin,” the email said. Chatas’ position will be a new one at the university, Alutto’s email said, where he will look to increase operating efficiency as he pursues new sources of revenue. “Geoff will act as an internal catalyst for growth at the Medical Center,” Alutto said. “In his new capacity, Geoff will continue to report directly to me, leading a team that will work with Steve Gabbe and his successor to accomplish our objectives, across the Medical Center.”

“Every game is important in the Big Ten. From top to bottom, you could lose any game — it doesn’t matter who you’re playing,” Loving said. “But we want to win every game we play. There’s no step back just because we’re playing a certain team and we feel like winning from here on out is definitely a goal of ours.” Matta agreed, especially because of the depth of the conference and said no home game is close to a guaranteed victory like it has been in years past. “It used to be, you had a little bit more of an easy feeling if you were at home,” Matta said. “But this year it doesn’t. I think every game is just sort of a one game type season. And no matter where you’re playing you’ve got to find a way to play your best basketball. “I think from top to bottom, this league is probably as good as it’s ever been. Just in terms
of there’s just nothing easy, no matter who you’re playing or where you’re playing at. It’s a grind,” Matta said. Regardless of who is on the schedule for the rest of the regular season, Matta said the focus is only on one team — the Wildcats. The team is no stranger to winning away from home this season, capturing conference victories at Indiana, then-No. 14 Wisconsin and Minnesota. “You take them one at a time. And that’s simply Northwestern tomorrow night,” Matta said. “But at this particular juncture, to gaze off into the future or anything like that would be detrimental to this basketball team.” The Buckeyes’ contest against Northwestern is set to begin Wednesday at 7 p.m.

studentvoice Marcus Hall proves immaturity by signing photos of double-bird flip BuckeyeTV asst. sports director
When it was announced through the loud speakers at Michigan Stadium that Ohio State offensive lineman Marcus Hall would be ejected from his final battle against that team up North, I could only imagine the deflation and rage that coursed through his veins. A game he had Hayden Grove prepared for with incredgrave.157@osu.edu ible diligence simply vanished amidst a moment of chaos. I watched live in Ann Arbor as Hall stomped off the field, showing his helmet no mercy as he tossed it mightily toward the bench, and allowed his emotions to gain him the notoriety he most likely never thought he’d have, as he made the obscene gesture that will go down in infamy. While I wasn’t necessarily thrilled with the legendary double-bird gesture after it happened, as it was a decisive blow to OSU’s play, I completely understand how it could happen. At that moment, Hall’s anger was at an unfathomable level and amidst it all, with nothing left to do, Hall showed Michigan — its fans, its coaches, its players — what he really thought of them in one rage-filled moment. Of course, Hall’s gesture quickly went viral and while it didn’t paint him or his team in the most positive light, it was, in my book, somewhat acceptable. It was nothing more than a player’s emotions getting the best of him. We’ve seen it before and we’ll certainly see it again. In such a big game, a game dubbed “The Game,” its even more understandable. Hall’s latest move, however, I take small issue with. Amidst his newfound fame, Hall has decided to take advantage of the opportunity for monetary profit, selling photos of the incident titled, “Noteable Moments” with his
signature and a line, “4X Gold Pants,” beneath the title. I don’t have a problem with Hall taking advantage of his fleeting popularity — he’s going to sell a lot of those autographed photos. Rather, I have a problem with the perception that the signed picture gives off, both of Hall and OSU. First of all, with Hall, I am perplexed as to why he would be proud of this moment. Clearly, if he’s signing the pictures, he’s owning the moment and is almost proud of the way he handled himself in the Big House. Again, I understand why it happened, but for Hall to embrace the moment, rather than to leave it in the past, is immature. Hall is looking to be selected in May’s NFL Draft, but if I’m an NFL general manager looking to draft him, this photosigning incident raises an immediate red flag. If Hall wasn’t mature enough in the Big House to handle himself professionally, and he’s not mature enough now to realize that he made a mistake, I certainly wouldn’t believe Hall would be mature enough to handle the NFL and its many challenges. In addition, the signed photos seem to paint the OSU community — students, faculty and fans — in a negative light. My visualization of what members of other colleges and college football communities think of OSU goes as follows: “Wow, Ohio State fans are proud of Marcus Hall for this incident, so much so that they are willing to put money into his pockets for doing such a thing. Oh, and to top it all off, the word “notable” is spelled wrong, so not only are they proud of an obscene gesture, they are too dumb to realize it’s spelled wrong.” The Marcus Hall moment will live on for many, many years to come. Rather than to embrace it, the OSU community should simply compartmentalize the moment as an example of the competitive spirit of the OSU–Michigan rivalry. Neither Hall, nor anyone else, should be proud of the moment. These autographed and misspelled mementos are evidence of the latter, not the former.

College education doesn’t prep students for life in adult world editor in-chief
As my four years at Ohio State are swiftly coming to a close, I’ve had a revelation: Nothing I have learned has prepared me to graduate. My classes have taught me the skills I need to know to succeed in my field, with a little background knowledge on anthropology and kristen mitchell the patriarchy to throw mitchel.935@osu.edu around at cocktail parties, but there’s still so much I don’t know. I’m confident that if I get a job, I have the adequate experience to be successful in that role. I’m prepared for a job — even if I don’t yet have one. It’s everything else I’m worried about. How do I file my taxes? How do I negotiate a salary? How do I buy a car without getting ripped off? My highly touted college education hasn’t prepared me for these fundamental elements of being an adult.

OSU students at the Spring Commencement ceremony May 5.
I don’t know how to cook anything, let alone a Thanksgiving dinner, and I’m not sure when I last returned a library book on time. These might sound like petty #millennialproblems, not worth the brain cells used to worry or read about, but these are the things that keep me up at night. That, and of course the ongoing Winter Olympic Games which are taking place in an opposite time zone. The idea that I could complete almost any adult task myself without phoning my mom, tweeting about it for advice and asking my neighbor for help is simply laughable. I’m a 16-year-old trapped in a 22-year-old’s body which is really a 16-year-old’s body because I still physically appear too young to be at OSU in the first place. Every two weeks I accidently let my milk expire and I don’t go grocery shopping often enough to adequately feed myself. I don’t own a snow shovel and I’m almost never dressed in a way that’s seasonally appropriate. That doesn’t sound like a grown-up to me. My graduation is *probably* inevitable — I’ve already applied and I’m heading toward May 4 like an out of control freight train. College hasn’t prepared me to graduate, but hopefully I can learn about being a real adult on the job. I don’t really have a choice.
Alcohol aversion doesn’t equate to being uptight, mousy arts editor
Never have I wanted to disappointment my parents more. At this point in time, roughly three months stand between me and my 21st birthday. At midnight June 1, I will enter womanhood by hopping bar to bar wearing a plastic princess tiara and a danielle seamon sash, toting and boastseamon.17@osu.edu ing at least 19 forms of ID because I might have just been granted an adult privilege, but I intend on abusing it to the point where I act like a kindergartener by 3 a.m. However, my parents are pleased to know that a Panera cinnamon crunch bagel iced with reduced fat cream cheese is currently exciting me more than the notion of all alcohol legally being at my disposal. Upon entering Ohio State and attending my first college party, I found rather quickly that I did not thrive in such an environment. Plainly said, I hated it. The first sips of whatever they had in the fridge tasted terrible, and it never got better. So I tried beer, which tasted like shampoo. Then I tried some punch thing, in which the host of the party swore on his life “you can’t taste the alcohol, like, at all, dude.” But I could taste the alcohol all the way, dude, and I could not tolerate the flavor. Many experimentations at house and frat parties from then on still proved unsuccessful and resulted in me leaving the premises within 15 minutes on arrival. I have never been drunk, but I can only assume it makes really crappy parties into Gatsby-level blowouts. Needless to say, I realized very quickly that my inability to enjoy a drink was not only going to leave me distanced from one of college’s trademark experiences, but also wipe out one platform of adult connection for me. “Want to go get drinks after work?” “Nah, I think I’ll just go home and take a nap.” “Hey shawty, can I buy you a drink?” “Uh … what are the other options?” Even scarier, I can’t blame it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol. I can never attribute stupid things I do at night to being under the influence, and I would forever have to own up
4A
being obnoxious, slap happy and uncomfortably sarcastic as regular facets of my personality “Were you drinking last night? You kept telling jokes that weren’t funny, like at all.” “Nope, that’s just me. Can I have your number, hottie?” But probably most concerning to me is people don’t know how to have fun within my presence. Many a Friday night have my friends wanted to go out and didn’t know how to deal with the fact that I would not be drinking. Simply not liking the taste of alcohol turned into this terminal illness that prevented me from letting my hair down and having a good time, so they would start making ridiculous suggestions while they were pregaming like, “Can we get you anything? This is the last shot, we promise. There’s some watermelon in the fridge! You can put ketchup on it if you want!” When my friends started slipping into drunken stupors, though, I became the hottest drinking game in town. Second to beer pong is “I bet I can find a drink you like Dani. Try this,” which consisted of friends swearing to Heaven, Hell and the holy trinity that this cosmo will forever convert me (Spoiler alert: I still hate drinking). So what is it like being almost 21 and not seeing the appeal in alcohol? Aside from adding “a newly found taste tolerance of alcohol” to my prayer requests each week at church, it’s a tad upsetting to not share a common vice; however, I realize the pettiness in such a complaint. Honestly, I should feel lucky that I will likely never experience the pains of a hangover, and I can nix the possibility of addiction. On a social level, though, it’s frustrating to be perceived by others as uptight and naive by a simple dislike in something. I love tomatoes — heck, I eat them plain and salted — but I don’t find you mousy and drab if you can’t appreciate such a delicacy. I don’t care if you drink, and I don’t care if you bring alcohol. I will go with you to the party, and as an adult, I can find a way to have fun and entertain myself while you do you. I can even pretend like I’m all into this alcohol thing, as my expertise in “nursing” a drink could fulfill curriculum to a whole bachelor of sciences in nursing program. At the end of the day, your concern in the fact that I don’t drink is way more than my concern in the fact that you do. If you want, though, you can still try to get me to try different drinks. However, I will only assume one of your favorite pastimes is flushing money down the toilet.

The strongest college programs typically see their success from one season just flow right into another because of a powerful recruiting presence. The Ohio State football team can be considered one of these programs — year in and year out being among the top teams in the country. A steady flow of talent through Columbus has been a major contributor to this success. One of the most successful positions for OSU over the past few years has been the wide receiver spot. Since the turn of the millennium, the Buckeyes have seen 11 wide receivers taken in the NFL Draft, including four — Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez in 2007, Santonio Holmes in 2006 and Michael Jenkins in 2004 — taken in the first round. Now with former receiver Corey “Philly” Brown hoping for a future in the NFL, the Buckeyes are left searching for their next elite pass-catcher. Juniors Devin Smith and Evan Spencer are easy choices to fill the void left by Brown next season because of their experience on the field for OSU, but that next star receiver could be someone who has yet to don the Scarlet and Gray. Incoming wide receiver Johnnie Dixon, a West Palm Beach, Fla., native was listed as a four star recruit by Rivals. com and ESPN before committing to OSU in December. “He chose Ohio State because it was the best university and this program, this offense, this head coach we have,
myself … it was the best chance for him to develop into the maximized version of himself,” wide receivers coach Zach Smith said on National Signing Day Feb. 5. Dixon said the pedigree of OSU and coach Urban Meyer when it comes to the success of wide receivers drew him to Columbus. “I wanted to be a great receiver and under coach Meyer and coach Smith, I can make that happen and they can make that happen,” Dixon said on Signing Day. “(Meyer’s) had great players here and also at Florida at the receiver spot, so I knew that him coaching me would be a big impact.” Zach Smith was involved in Dixon’s recruitment and said part of bringing him to Columbus was a willingness to point out flaws. “I went down and watched Johnnie Dixon practice a couple times and told him, ‘That was awful,’” Zach Smith said. “We talked about it, but the kid at the end of the day went home and said ‘That guy’s going to make me better and he’s real.’” Dixon added that he hopes to play right away for OSU but understands the effort that requires. “I feel like if I work hard enough, I can hit the field and I can make an impact,” Dixon said. Even with the returning players at wide receiver, Zach Smith said there was no guarantee that any one player will receive playing time. “You don’t want to take away from what guys like Devin Smith and Evan Spencer have done for us this past year, but at the end of the day we got better — we were a better unit but we weren’t where we needed to be,” Zach Smith

said. “There’s not a position in my room where that is locked down or anyone who really has an edge … I’m not confident there’s any delineation between wideouts. The way the younger guys develop by the end of the year, I think its going to be a dogfight.” Coming in, Dixon is slated to be one of the shorter receivers, only standing 5 feet 11 inches tall with nine of the 14 Buckeyes listed on the roster standing at 6 feet 1 inch or taller. Despite the advantages that taller receivers have, Zach Smith said it doesn’t matter how tall a player is as long as he is able to produce. “I like electric guys that are going to take the football and put it across the endline,” Zach Smith said. “That’s it, I want it in the end zone, I don’t care how big you are — it doesn’t matter, just get it
in the endzone. It’s nice to have size but I like playmakers.” Dixon and the rest of the receivers are slated to have their first shot at the field Aug. 30 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore when OSU is scheduled to start its season against Navy. Even though the Buckeyes start the season in a warmer climate, late season games in the Midwest can often get quite cold. Dixon said he isn’t worried about the going from the warmth of Florida to Columbus though, and just wants to prove himself on the field. “The weather’s not really a big factor to me,” Dixon said. “Once you make it to the NFL, you play in all types of weather so the weather wasn’t a big deal for me. I just wanted to be a great player, a great receiver, it had to be here.”

Redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion looks for an open teammate during a game against Penn State Feb. 9 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 74-54.
It is said defense wins games, but for the Ohio State women’s basketball team, rebounding has been the deciding factor on the scoreboard this season. In games that OSU has outrebounded its opponents this season, the team is 11-1. When they are outrebounded, the Buckeyes are 3-13. The Buckeyes (14-14, 4-8) are currently ranked 10th in the Big Ten in rebounding margin, getting outrebounded by an average of 4.9 boards per game. That includes getting beat 57-33 on the boards in their most recent game, a 70-49 loss to No. 25 Michigan State Feb. 15, something coach Kevin McGuff said is unsatisfying. “We did not have the intensity or discipline that we had in the Penn State game,” McGuff said Tuesday, referencing his team’s performance on Feb. 9 when they outrebounded then No. 9 Penn State, winning 40-38. “It was disappointing.” During its current four-game losing streak, OSU has been outrebounded 187-144 and each game has been decided by 11 or more points. The deficiency in rebounding seems to fall largely on senior centers Ashley Adams and Darryce Moore, who played reduced minutes in the loss to Michigan State because of the emergence of redshirt-freshman center Lisa Blair. McGuff said Blair played more simply because she gave more effort.
“She (Blair) seemed to be playing harder than the other ones,” McGuff said. “Whoever is playing the hardest is who I am going to play.” The rebounding effort is something everyone needs to improve on in order to be successful, redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion said. Scullion is fifth on the team in total rebounds with 110. “That is definitely an area where I have to step up my game,” Scullion said Tuesday. “But rebounding is honestly a team effort so it has to be everyone.” When the Buckeyes have had success rebounding this season, it has typically come against smaller opponents. Their upcoming opponent No. 17 Nebraska (19-5, 9-3), lists their tallest player as 6-foot-5-inch freshman forward Allie Havers. In comparison, Blair is OSU’s tallest player at 6 feet 6 inches tall. The upcoming tilt against the Cornhuskers is a game junior guard Raven Ferguson said the Buckeyes need to win. “We have not beat them since they came into the Big Ten (in 2010),” Ferguson said Tuesday. “This is one of those games that you really want (to win).” Ferguson, who is the second on the team in scoring and third in rebounds, said despite their current losing streak, the feeling in the locker room is still upbeat. “We are still a confident team,” Ferguson said. “I still think we feel like we can win and we can beat anybody. We have seen spurts of that in past games.” The Buckeyes are scheduled to try to rebound their way out of their four-game skid against Nebraska Thursday at the Schottenstein Center. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

The Olympic Games can be seen as the most coveted sports competition for participants. Athletes train their whole lives to be given at shot at competing for a gold medal and go to great lengths to have such an opportunity. The 1994 U.S Figure Skating Championships in Detroit show a perfect circumstance of how far people are willing to go to get to the gold. Figure skater Tonya Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and friends admitted to planning and carrying out an attack on her competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, during a practice session before she was set to perform in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in hopes of keeping her off out of the Olympic competition. Though injured, Kerrigan made a comeback and earned a silver medal in the ladies singles figure skating competition at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway. Although that example of unsportsmanlike conduct has tainted the view of the integrity of athletes, the competitors of the 2014 Sochi Games have restored some faith in the humanity of athletes

Swiss skier Dario Cologna (right) rushes to the finish during the Cross-Country Men’s Skiathlon Feb. 9 at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Cologna won the race with a time of 1:08:15.4. and their drive to keep sportsmanship a part of the competition. During the men’s semifinal of the cross-country sprint Feb. 11, Russian skier Anton Gafarov broke his left ski. Justin Wadsworth, who is a three-time U.S Olympian and now the coach of the Canadian cross-country skiing team, saw this happen and ran to aid the skier with a replacement ski. Gafarov finished the course 2:49.62 behind the top place finisher. Wadsworth told the Associated Press he wanted Gafarov to “have a chance to complete the race with dignity.”
“It is entirely to be applauded,” International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said during a press conference after it happened. “That’s one of the things why we all love the Olympics, because, as well as being an amazing elite sport, there is something special as well, there are values underlying it as well.” Another strong example of sportsmanship was shown between the Russian and German cross-country skiers and biathletes. Germany’s grinding machine, used to prepare skis before competing, got damaged
on the way to Sochi. Russia allowed Germany access to its machine before the race. But it is perhaps the Olympic spirit reported by USA TODAY about Dario Cologna of Switzerland that is the most inspiring. Cologna won the gold in the Cross County Men’s Classic in 38:29.7. Cologna waited 28 minutes for the last place finisher, Roberto Carcelen of Peru, to cross the finish line. Carcelen broke a rib shortly before the games but wanted to still compete because he was one of three athletes that qualified from Peru. It is a standard procedure that skiers usually wait to congratulate all the finishers, but to wait nearly 30 minutes is unheard of. Cologna warmed the hearts of the crowd with his thoughtfulness. Almost every athlete entered Sochi with one goal in mind: win a gold medal. But not every athlete entered the winter games with sportsmanship as a top priority. It is encouraging to see these athletes in the midst of intense competition remember the true identity of sports and the values they were founded on. In Sochi, Russia, sportsmanship is very much alive.

San Fermin is slated to perform at the Wexner Center Performance Space Feb. 19.
Yale-bred band San Fermin to play Wex Center stage
MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu The songs of “San Fermin,” the debut record of Ellis Ludwig-Leone’s project of the same name, came at a time when he was searching for a greater purpose in life. “I think what really defines (‘San Fermin’) as a record is that all these songs are sort of trying to get at the same thing. The whole reason for writing the record is that I was sort of feeling numb and I was looking for places to find meaning in your life,” Ludwig-Leone said. “What defines ‘San Fermin’ probably is a very diverse palette, but sort of an almost single-minded, kind of obsessive search for some sort of meaning.” This search for meaning might be typical for recent college grads, such as Ludwig-Leone, who crafted San Fermin the autumn following his graduation from Yale’s music composition program in 2011. The now 24-year-old Ludwig-Leone is based in Brooklyn and said he creates music that meshes his classical background with pop stylings. San Fermin is slated to bring this blended sound to the
Wexner Center for the Arts’ Performance Space Wednesday. Ludwig-Leone’s relative youthfulness makes San Fermin a suitable band for the center’s Next@Wex series, whose purpose is to introduce new, indie scene innovators, said Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant at the Wexner Center. However, it is not his age that is important. “I think that innovation is key here,” she said. “He has a background and training that creates interesting and unique chamber pop songs.” The dichotomy of pop with a classical backbone is not a forced combination, Ludwig-Leone said. “It was sort of a natural synthesis. I always (looked into) pop music, a lot of my favorite musicians were indie musicians and I also had studied classical music. It was like, ‘Now what am I going to write without the pressure of being in school?’” he said. “There are definitely poppier songs on (the record) like ‘Sonsick,’ which is the one that everyone knows is definitely a pop song. There’s also moments on the record that are pretty similar in line as a composition student at Yale.” The inspiration for San Fermin, particularly the drive to combine classical composition with pop, struck Ludwig-Leone during his senior recital at
Reggae fusion band Iration to take over C-Bus venue
school, he said. A different band he was a part of at the time performed at the concert, to which he embellished more composed instrumentation, including a flute part and a brass section. “That was a really key moment, that concert, because that was when I started to put it all together and realized that there’s nothing really separating these things in my mind,” Ludwig-Leone said. “You can do all this stuff all at once.” Twenty-two musicians were involved in “San Fermin’s” recording, but since there was no record label or manager backing keyboard player LudwigLeone on the onset of his post-graduate project, he said he had to pursue cheaper means of putting the album together. “It’s such a big sounding record because there’s so many people on it,” he said. “At the time, I didn’t have any money, I just had friends who played music. I was bringing them in one by one into my recording studio in my bedroom — not even a recording studio, just a little setup — and we would track one by one.” Attendees of Wednesday’s show won’t witness that many people on stage, though. Ludwig-Leone said he tightened the score in order to take San Fermin on the road, enlisting only eight musicians
playing various instruments, including himself on keyboard. To some listeners, the musicianship of San Fermin is integral to the experience of listening to the band, as it adds depth and emotion to its music, Wray said. “Listening to San Fermin, I’ve definitely been struck by their technical chops. They clearly are people who are skilled at their instruments,” she said. In moving forward with San Fermin, LudwigLeone said he is already composing the music for a second album, which might retain his inclination for writing hook-hefty songs. Yet, Ludwig-Leone said he is ultimately interested in creating music that is authentically and distinctly his. “It’s sort of tempting sometimes once you’re in this indie-pop world. You see (that) you could write a record that has wide appeal, like a radio kind of thing,” Ludwig-Leone said. “You see that that’s a possibility, and that’s a temptation for sure, but I think at the end of the day, I just want to be making stuff that affects me when I listen to it … I think probably it will continue to be a mixture.” The show is set to begin at 8 p.m., with Son Lux set to open. Tickets cost $14.

Governors Ball 2014 continues with intensity
Reggae fusion is set to “spread love” in Columbus Thursday night. The bands Iration, Natural Vibrations and The Movement are slated to perform at The Basement as part of Iration’s 2014 Automatic Winter Tour, with doors set to open at 7 p.m. Iration is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Micah Pueschel, bassist Adam Taylor, drummer Joseph Dickens, keyboardist Cayson Peterson and sound engineer Joseph King, who all attended high school together on the Big Island of Hawaii. After high school graduation, Pueschel said everyone ended up going to college in Santa Barbara, Calif., where Iration officially formed in 2003. As a college freshman, Pueschel said he picked up a guitar and was able to teach himself how to play after receiving a few basic lessons from a friend. “We all picked up instruments and learned in college. We didn’t play in high school so we learned ‘on the job,’” Pueschel said. Since releasing the first EP “New Roots” in 2006, Iration has released two additional EPs and three full-length albums, according to the band’s website. Iration released its latest full-length album “Automatic” July 2. Pueschel said the local music scene in his hometown had a major impact on Iration’s musical style. “If you grew up in Hawaii, you grew up with reggae. It’s what’s on the radio, it’s what the local music is,” Pueschel said. “So it’s kind of inherent with all of us growing up there, it’s just what you listen to.” Traditionally, Pueschel said he writes the majority of Iration’s lyrics but that the complete songwriting process is a collaborative effort. “I’ll write (a song) on acoustic and then bring it to the band and everyone musically writes their parts around it,” Pueschel said. As far as lyrical subject matter goes, Pueschel said Iration has never claimed to be “super political.” “We want music to make people feel better and feel good,” Pueschel said. “We want it to be music that brings a lightness and makes people feel good as opposed to something that makes people feel down or has a really heavy message.” Similarly, Natural Vibrations has Hawaiian roots and was formed by a group of friends in 1992 on the island of Oahu. Since 1996, the band has released six full-length albums, according to its online biography. Bassist and vocalist Jehua Evans joined Natural Vibrations in 2000 and said a shared love of music has kept the band together through the years. “(Music) is all everyone wants to do so it’s what keeps us going,” Evans said. “In 2012, we decided we needed to start touring full time, as far as we could go.” Since making the decision to ramp up touring efforts, Evans said Natural Vibrations has gained many fans that might not have known about the band before seeing a live performance.

Governors Ball — because New York City has to have a music festival, too, right? Such is the case for this hyper-urban festival catering to those who still like to shower daily. A ferry ticket and $230 gets you to Randall’s Island Park June 6-8 to attend one of the most historically overdriven festivals in the country. I have found that Governors Ball, which although it acquires a lot of the same indie acts as many of the year’s festivals, banks on gaining a lineup with more heavyweight artists than the others. It requires an eye that floats down to the bottom of the lineup sheet to observe this, though. I mostly use last year’s set of bands as an example, boasting the likes of F--ked Up and Dinosaur Jr. in the smaller print. Two examples are by no means indicative of a trend, but I was hard-pressed to find bands of anything slightly harsher than “alt rock” at another festival the same year. Governors Ball 2014 is the biggest yet compared to previous years, and it continues this trend in its nuanced division. Below are the five artists that might make the trip over to NYC fruitful. 1. The Strokes Even if “Comedown Machine” is a womp, the Strokes’ catalogue of dismissive rock with hooks that are infectious without trying would be a sight whose legend is on par with the OutKast reunion (another tour that is continuing to Governors Ball as well). The band that brought “Is This It” and even “Room on Fire” can’t ignore its classic tunes entirely during the live show, which ought to be a great reward for coping with post-2010 comeback material. 2. James Blake Whether he’s considered your purveyor of electro-soul, some post-dubstepper or that solemn producer that makes drippy electronic

Electronic musician James Blake performs at the Berlin Festival Sept. 9, 2011. music that just makes you feel something, James Blake is going to be the midday calm of Governors Ball. “James Blake” and “Overgrown” are masterpieces of depth in solitude, brimming with emotion and cool colors. I’m sure the intimacy of Blake’s music will take on a different character at a festival, but it will at least be refreshing to hear a subdued, melodic dubstep as opposed to… 3. Skrillex As soon as “WUB WUB WUB WAAAAAH WAAAAAH WAAAAH CINEMA” graces the aural atmosphere of Governors Ball, the festival’s most eccentric will be bombarding Sonny Moore’s stage. Electronic dance music has a way of creating a show in the crowd that’s as bombastic as the one on stage. 4. Diarrhea Planet To my knowledge, Diarrhea Planet’s (the world’s best name) gig at this year’s Governor’s Ball might be its first festival-level show.
The six-piece with four guitarists definitely has the power to broadcast its noodly, power pop riffs to a festival-grade audience, and if it’s anything like its show at The Basement last year with So So Glos, it will incite the berserk in goers. Expect sweaty dudes playing greasy guitars to fans that are equally as slick. *Throws up horns* 5. Grimes For something completely different, Grimes, the DIY pop project of Claire Boucher, is set to be doing up Governors Ball as well. She caught my ear, and surely most, with 2012’s “Visions,” a breathtaking record. Although this album is enveloped in atmosphere, Boucher serves as a guiding, danceable light through. Anything Grimes performs ought to be majestic.

[ a+e ] ‘Columbusland’ attempts to make Gateway movie wait less boring BREE CRYE For The Lantern crye.4@osu.edu Gateway Film Center is attempting to transform the cinema waiting experience by doing less preshow advertisements and putting on its own community-focused series “Columbusland.” “A preshow is usually just a lame kind of series of ads and trivia questions you’ve seen before when you show up early before the trailers,” said Johnny DiLoretto, director of operations at Gateway Film Center and co-creator of “Columbusland.” When DiLoretto began as the director of operations in 2012, Gateway Film Center President Chris Hamel asked DiLoretto if they could do better. In response, DiLoretto said “Absolutely.” So Hamel and DiLoretto created “Columbusland.” “It’s original,” DiLoretto said. “And there’s no other theater in the country doing it.” Instead of the usual trivia and general ads, DiLoretto and Hamel wanted something more relatable and relevant to the audience. “Part of what we’re trying to achieve with ‘Columbusland’ is to create a dialogue with the community,” DiLoretto said. Instead of professional actors, the show stars Gateway Film Center crew members and prominent figures in the Columbus community, such as local drag queen Nina West, Jeni Britton Bauer, creator of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Frankie Hejduk from the Columbus Crew. The ads the Gateway Film Center does show are focused on local Columbus businesses. One year and six episodes later, “Columbusland” is still evolving. “Initially it started as a more of an interview-driven show,” DiLoretto said. “But then it quickly became more sketch comedy oriented.” “Columbusland” begins 20 minutes before most movie showings and an episode will run for 12-14 weeks, DiLoretto said. The production crew has several creative meetings during that time to plan, write, film and edit the next episode.
Part of what we’re trying to achieve with ‘Columbusland’ is to create a dialogue with the community. Johnny DiLoretto Director of operations, Gateway Film Center Trevor Galley, a third-year in environmental engineering at Ohio State, recalled having seen “Columbusland” during his most recent visit to the Gateway. “I only vaguely remember it, but it’s definitely different,” Galley said. “It mixes things up a little bit as opposed to just having the usual previews and ads.” Dejuan Taylor, 20, from the Columbus area, agreed. “I love how it’s Columbus-made shorts before the movie comes on,” Taylor said. Taylor is a frequent visitor to the Gateway and said he has seen several episodes of “Columbusland.” He said his favorite is the most recent “I Love Nina” spoof on “I Love Lucy.” “I think (‘Columbusland’) is pretty funny,” Taylor said. “It’s definitely creative what they’re doing.” Recently the “Columbusland” crew published a magazine under the same name. “‘Columbusland’ the show is more entertainment driven,” DiLoretto said. “The magazine was basically a way to talk about ourselves, (and) to talk about movies.” The magazine currently has two issues, with a third ready for print. Although DiLoretto did not name a specific date for publication, he said the next issue will come out in the next couple of weeks. The magazine is free, available at the Gateway Film Center. “Columbusland” might see improvement in future episodes. DiLoretto said he hopes the show and magazine catch on with more people, that they are able to create better quality sketches with faster production and to culminate in adding more ad revenue to continue creating “Columbusland.”

Reggae band Iration is set to perform at The Basement Feb. 20.
Iration from 6A “It’s so cool to just show up in a new town or city and meet all these people who come out to the show and have a passion for the music,” Evans said. “For me, that’s been one of the coolest parts (about touring). There are people everywhere that are dying to see what’s going on with our vibe.” Evans said Natural Vibrations focuses on using music to spread love to audiences on the mainland. “In Hawaii, there’s that ‘hang-loose’ kind of lifestyle and while a lot of bands tend to be more political, we just want to offer people a positive experience,” Evans said. Additionally, Evans said touring alongside Iration and The Movement has been a great experience. “At this point, we’re all just really good friends and we all get along really well,” Evans said. “So every night, everybody is stoked to be there and putting on great shows.” Joshua Swain and Jordan Miller, founders of The Movement, met in 1998 while playing soccer together at Irmo High School near Columbia, S.C. In an email, Swain said he bonded with Miller since they shared a mutual love for reggae music. “We made music because of Bob Marley, (Sublime’s) Bradley Nowell, (and rappers) Biggie and (Tupac),” Swain said. After musician Jon Ruff joined Swain and Miller in 2004, The Movement released its debut album “On Your Feet,”
according to the band’s biography. Through the years, there have been several changes within the band, including the departures of Ruff and Miller in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Despite the changes, The Movement has released four albums since its 2004 debut. The band’s latest album, “Side By Side,” was released Aug. 13, according to its iTunes page. Today, The Movement is made up of guitarist/vocalist Swain, drummer Gary Jackson and bassist Jason Schmidt, who both joined The Movement around 2008. Moreover, Swain said that the band’s sound has also undergone its own evolution since the early days. “Musically, we are less hip-hop and more thoughtful alternative reggae,” Swain said. “We are more humble about our position as musicians on this increasingly weird sphere we call Earth.” So far, Pueschel said he is pleased with how the current tour is going and said he is “stoked” to be back in Columbus after a four-year absence. “The fun thing about being on tour is just being able to go experience different places and meet the fans because they’re the people that keep the lights on in the house,” Pueschel said. “So it’s good to be able to go and give back.” The Basement is located at 391 Neil Ave. Tickets for Thursday’s show are $14.50 in advance, $15 day of the concert.
