New Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer has rebuilt Buckeyes football, at least in part, on a foundation of air mattresses. Returning players await Meyer’s instruction, but the coach’s focus on recruiting has mostly left time for pursuing the best young, football talent from across the nation. Meyer and his fellow OSU coaches will see the fruits of their efforts on Wednesday — National Signing Day. In his first exclusive interview with The Lantern, Meyer said he and his staff have overcome NCAA penalties and a recruiting class that was described by one national recruiting expert as “struggling.” Meyer and members of his staff will convene Wednesday with members of the media to discuss his new recruit, which comprise one of the top-rated classes in the nation. As of Tuesday, Rivals.com rated Meyer’s incoming recruits as the No. 3 class in the country. Only top-rated Alabama and No. 2-rated Texas have bested OSU on the recruiting trail. Meyer’s new crop of talent is also the top-rated class in the Big Ten and currently boasts 23 commits, two of which are five-star recruits and 13 of which are four-star recruits, according to the website. Meyer told The Lantern that recruiting progress hasn’t come easily, though.

In the middle of a two-month stretch where Meyer nabbed nine of the top 250 recruits in the country, the NCAA handed down a Dec. 19 ruling that said OSU would lose nine scholarships and receive a one-year postseason ban after six OSU football players were found to have exchanged Buckeye football memorabilia for improper benefits in the form of free tattoos. “I’ve never been banned from a bowl game. This is all new for me,” Meyer said during a Jan. 22 interview with The Lantern. Meyer was facing an uphill recruiting battle long before he arrived in Columbus, Ohio, though. OSU was experiencing uncommon difficulties on the recruiting trail, said Josh Helmholdt, the Midwest recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. “(The class) was struggling, no doubt about it,” Helmholdt said. “They hadn’t recruited as successfully as they’re used to and a lot of their Big Ten foes were jumping in and grabbing kids from the state of Ohio. That definitely was a trend we had not seen in past years.” Meyer reversed that trend, but the NCAA’s Dec. 19 announcement that OSU would lose scholarships and also receive a postseason ban for the 2012 season could have interrupted the positive energy around OSU’s recruiting resurgence. Helmholdt said that while some recruits place high value on postseason eligibility,

Chinese New Year celebrations spark off AMANDA PIERCE Lantern reporter pierce.343@osu.edu Blowing an air horn and ringing cowbells outside of Drackett Tower was how Monica Qian, a first-year in business administration, brought in the Chinese New Year. “We didn’t have firecrackers or fireworks, so we just made a little noise,” Qian said. Fireworks are traditionally used to ward off spirits of the year before and begin the 15-day celebration of the Chinese New Year. Jan. 23 marked the beginning of 2012, the year of the dragon, on the Chinese calendar. Though some Chinese students are far from home, student organizations and residence halls are hosting events to help students of all ethnicities bring in the New Year. “It’s just a window into different cultures to learn more about them and celebrate their holidays,” said Karen Mancl, professor of food, agricultural and biological engineering and adviser to the student group Chinese Culture Connection.

Dumplings, dragon dances and traditional music are just a few of the things that will be featured in the lobby of Hagerty Hall at a walk-through Chinese New Year celebration sponsored by Chinese Culture Connection Feb. 6. The number of Chinese students at Ohio State make the Chinese New Year an important holiday to celebrate on campus, Mancl said. “It’s like the biggest holiday in China,” she said. “So it’s an extremely important event in Chinese culture.” OSU enrolled 1,758 students whose nationality is Chinese in Autumn Quarter, said Marco Chavez, interim senior assistant director for international recruitment. Mancl compared the Chinese New Year to the American Thanksgiving. Both holidays consider family to be an important part of the celebration, she said. “Most Chinese try to return home for the New Year,” Mancl said. “If you’re far away from your family, it can be just like … an American not being able to go home for Thanksgiving.” Qian spent most of her childhood in Michigan with her family but also lived in Shanghai, China, for four years.

Petition accuses former senator of bribery BRANDON ROSIN Lantern reporter rosin.7@osu.edu A petition on the White House’s “We the People” website is calling for the Motion Picture Association of America chairman and CEO Chris Dodd to be investigated for “blatant bribery.” The petition, started on Jan. 21, has gained 31,034 signatures as of Tuesday evening, which warranted an official White House response. The petition accuses former Sen. Dodd of bribery for comments made on Fox News warning President Barack Obama about his opposition to the House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate’s Protect IP Act (PIPA). “Candidly, those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who’s going to stand up for them when their job is at stake,” Dodd told Fox News on Jan. 19. “Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake.” The petition argues the comment was an “open admission of bribery” and Dodd was flouting an “above the law” status. After the signatures were taken, the White House released a statement that they would not comment on the matter. “Thank you for signing this petition. We appreciate your participation in the We the People platform on Whitehouse.gov. However, consistent with

of the American people is plain offensive.” Paul Beck, a professor of political science at OSU, said no court in the world would take the case. “There’s nothing actionable there,” Beck said. A spokesperson for the MPAA released a statement regarding the claim of bribery.

campus Panel stresses society’s role in bridging discipline gap Dani Wedemeyer Lantern reporter wedemeyer.9@osu.edu

A panel discussion concluded that the solution to keeping students out of the juvenile criminal system is to change the way schools handle punishment. The main focus of the five-member panel of education-community members Tuesday at the School to Prison Pipeline discussion at the Moritz College of Law was to find a way to prevent students from becoming “problem students.” John Aeschbury, lead organizer of Building Responsibility, Equality and Dignity, began the panel by saying that in Columbus schools, the problem is “not a policy issue, it’s a practice issue.” Aeschbury said that in the 2009-10 school year, there were 4,262 out-of-school suspensions stemming from truancy issues, even though this is not the punishment recommended in the schools’ handbook. This is not only counter-intuitive but also contributes to gang activity, Aeschbury said. “Now think about that for a second. The penalty for skipping school is to be thrown out of school,” Aeschbury said. “People in the field of juvenile justice and delinquent prevention identify two risk factors that drive people to gangs at school and at home: inconsistent harsh discipline and low affection. And if out-of-school suspension isn’t the definition of inconsistent harsh discipline, I don’t know what is.” Michelle Lambert, a Franklin County public defender, represents students in court after they have been indicted. She said the trouble is that these students often are identified as “problem students” and they later will be reprimanded for minor infractions that other students would not be punished for, and this has serious consequences. “Chronic truancy, which is generally when they have 15 or more (missed) school days in a year,” Lambert said. “Generally these children have no record, they come to court, they are homeless, they have no transportation … or they don’t show up to court and they end up in jail, which is horrifying for children who are 12 to 14 years old.” Sarah Biehl, a lawyer with the Ohio Poverty Law Center, represents those who are in poverty in the legal system. She said suspensions and expulsions are becoming less of a last-resort measure and more common as schools implement zero-tolerance policies. “We need to stop using suspension and expulsion as a primary means of school discipline. It needs to be reserved for only the most serious safety incidents,” Biehl said. “It’s not that we shouldn’t discipline kids; we need to find a better way to discipline them and the way to start is you have to have schools create school-wide preventative practices.”

A panel called the “School to Prison Pipeline” discussed solutions to the ever-growing problem that leads to juvenile delinquency. The panel discussed prevention solutions for “problem students.” Lauren McGarity, CEO and superintendant of WinWin Academy, drew upon her experience in operating a school system in prisons and outside them to help assist incarcerated adults transition into lawful lifestyles. She said they purposely hire convicted felons who have been rehabilitated to help make the message more clear to those in these programs. McGarity said she thinks schools should revamp their discipline systems to discipline with the goal of teaching students something rather than doling out punishments. She said using only punishments can create a “them and us” problem and there has been a loss in the sense of community that is required to keep people on the right track. “There is a difference between discipline, which is like learning something, and punishment. I think a lot of our traditional schools and traditional systems tend to have a norm where kids are punished and by virtue of that punishment you’ve got a ‘them and us,’” McGarity said. “And somewhere along the line we lost touch with the premise of the community, and the idea that the school is an extension of the community.” Tabitha Woodruff, a graduate student in law, was part of the 132-member audience in the Saxbe Auditorium. She said she was home-schooled before high school and when she got to the public school system, she was shocked to see how punishment was handled in a group setting. She said she sees how schools funnel students into the prison systems and that it needs to be changed. “If we want to reduce prison populations, we need to start in schools,” Woodruff said. As a member of the Justice for Children Clinic, a Moritz clinic that

ensures children and their rights are taken seriously,she said she hopes to “represent the sometimes ‘forgotten’ children” in the legal system and generally advocate for children while still in school. One point the panel made was that many disciplinary problems in schools affect students from every demographic, but that the schoolto-prison pipeline itself is most likely to affect students of color, namely African-American and Latino-American students. John Dues has been involved with several charter schools and currently is the school director of the Columbus Collegiate Academy, an East-side school that serves a mostly-colored community where about 85 percent of students qualify for free-lunch programs. He said much of the inconsistency among schools’ punishments is because of the chaos found in schools and that providing structure is one way to combat the chaos. “The schools that we’re describing, in a lot of cases, are chaotic, and when you have chaos in school, there’s gonna be a lot of inconsistency,” Dues said. “There are fights in schools from time to time and sometimes the kid will get sent right back to your room and sometimes they would be suspended out of school.” Nikki Baszynski, another graduate student in law and organizer of the panel, said she was happy with the way the discussion went and the fact that the panelists had such diverse backgrounds. She said she thinks it’s interesting that the achievement gap affects everyone but since the school-to-prison pipeline specifically affects only certain students, it is often an overlooked problem and wonders why more is not being done about it. “Everyone knows the problem, everyone knows the solutions,” Baszynski said. “Why is it not being fixed?”

Many students choose to sell their tickets to various athletic events at OSU and many choose to sell their tickets using different online resources.

Many websites ease students’ troubles of selling tickets for OSU sporting events Brandon Rosin Lantern reporter rosin.7@osu.edu The resale of student tickets has been a mainstay at Ohio State for years, and it’s not going away any time soon. “The secondary ticket market is growing every year,” said Brett Scarbrough, senior director of ticketing at OSU. Websites like StubHub.com and OSU’s TicketExchange allow students to resell tickets from the comfort of their home. To use the TicketExchange, season ticket holders can make an account, enter their ticket, set the price and wait for a sale. Tickets on StubHub can either be listed digitally, by scanning the ticket so it can be downloaded by the buyer, or physically where tickets are mailed to the purchaser. TicketExchange deals solely in digital tickets. “About 50 percent of the tickets on our site are electronic,” said Joellen Ferrer, head of U.S. communications at StubHub. The majority of ticket sales are more than a week out from the game, Ferrer said. Prices go down as the event gets closer, so buyers should purchase tickets sooner rather than later because they have a shelf life, Ferrer said. There’s a misconception that StubHub is overpriced, but in actuality 50 percent of the tickets on the site go below face value, Ferrer said. “I’ve never used StubHub or TicketExchange to sell tickets, because Facebook and Twitter are so much faster,” said Nate Moseley, a second-year in public affairs. Moseley said he has been selling student tickets to sporting events since 2010. “I post in Ohio State Facebook groups that I’m selling a ticket, and people usually respond quickly,” Moseley said. Tony Brooks, a third-year in biochemistry, said he sells his tickets when he can’t go to the game. “I always use Facebook,” Brooks said. Brooks said he has been selling student tickets since his freshman year in 2009 and said compared to dedicated sites such as StubHub and TicketExchange, “Facebook is 10 times more effective.” TicketExchange requires all tickets to be

upgraded from a student ticket to a general admission ticket before selling. To upgrade, students must take their ticket to the box office where they pay the price difference between what they paid and general admission. Then the ticket may be used without a BuckID. The upgrade system only applies to football. There is no means of selling student basketball tickets on TicketExchange. “We prefer that the student that buys the ticket uses it,” Scarbrough said. Student tickets can be sold on StubHub without an upgrade, Ferrer said. All student tickets are designated as such on the site. The most money Moseley said he has ever made posting a ticket on Facebook is $250 for the Michigan game in 2010. “That ticket sold to a stranger, so I felt less guilty pricing it so high,” Moseley said. Moseley said when he sells tickets to friends, he sells them at face value. But Moseley said he keeps some of his tickets. “I cover the cost of the season, and then I try to go to the rest of the games,” Moseley said. StubHub has the most traffic among competitors, Ferrer said. “Sellers have the most eyes looking at their tickets (on StubHub).” The advantage of TicketExchange, Scarbrough said, is protecting students from “unscrupulous people selling fake tickets.” “We hold all of our sellers accountable,” Ferrer said. On StubHub, sellers are not paid until the buyer gets the ticket, and if the buyer can’t get into a game then StubHub charges the seller for a replacement ticket, Ferrer said. Brooks said he prefers Facebook because he can ask for bids and immediately interact with a buyer through messages and comments, instead of on dedicated sites where the buyer and seller are removed from one another. For the Iowa football game in 2009, Brooks was offered $400 for two tickets. He turned down the offer to go to the game himself. “I don’t sell my tickets unless I’m not going,” Brooks said. “I don’t sell to make a profit, I sell to make sure I break even on the matter and that my ticket doesn’t go to waste.”

Gray skies, cold weather and fallen snow have all contributed to a bleak feeling during the winter in Ohio, and recent increases in Ohio depression levels could be connected to the weather. While a recent string of warmer days in central Ohio is out of the ordinary for this time of year, Ohio is consistently at the top of lists of people suffering from seasonal affective disorder. Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is when a person suffers from episodes of depression that occur at a certain time of the year, usually during winter. Daniel Strunk, an assistant professor in clinical psychology, said SAD can affect many Ohio residents during the winter months, because of the lack of sunlight. “Seasonal Affective Disorder … is characterized by the onset of depression during the winter months, when there is less natural sunlight,” he said. Strunk said generally this slight depression is temporary, and ends with the changing of the seasons. “The depression generally lifts during spring and summer,” Strunk said. Strunk did say, however, that the state you live in is not a particularly strong predictor of risk for depression. Randy Nelson, professor and chair of Ohio State’s Neuroscience and Psychology departments agreed with Strunk by comparing depression numbers of California and Ohio. “I didn’t note any differences in mood,” Nelson said. “The (pharmacy) data don’t suggest fewer prescriptions for anti-depressants in California versus Ohio.” Michael Kurz, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said the weather in Ohio has “slightly changed” over the past 30 years. “The weather in Ohio from 1981 to 2010 has raised about a 10th of a degree in warmth,” but Kurz added. “It’s nothing too significant.” Part of the unpredictable weather pattern that brings cold snow, light rain, fog and cold wind in central Ohio is due to its location. “We often get extended periods of clouds streaming from the Great Lakes in Michigan,” Kurz said. “It goes from one extreme to another in no

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, can affect many Ohioans because of the bleek winter weather. time and snow bands come often … the fact that we’re having thunderstorms in the middle of January shows how impressive these climate shifts are.” Nelson said, however, unpredictable weather is not the decisive factor for depression in Ohio. “The long-term effects of a month of gloomy gray skies of December in Ohio might negatively affect more moods than the unpredictability of weather in Ohio,” Nelson said. Nelson said light energizes people’s moods. “There is some evidence that bright sunny skies or bright lights do ‘energize’ people compared to gray or dark skies,” Nelson said. Strunk said for those who suffer from depression, there are several common treatments. “Light box therapy, anti-depressant medication and psychotherapy are commonly used in the treatment of SAD,” Strunk said. Brad Stone, spokesman for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, said Ohio residents suffer from mental illnesses, like SAD, more than many other states. “Ohio is ranked one of the top 10 states with serious mental illness,” Stone said. Stone also said Ohio consistently ranks in the top 20 for suicides.

the NCAA penalties turned out to be a mere bump in the road for Meyer. “Honestly, it was a minor bump that they navigated easily and moved past very quickly,” Helmholdt said. “(Meyer) masterfully maneuvered around that issue and it doesn’t seem to have affected them at all.” Meyer said much of the same in his interview with The Lantern. “I don’t know if (saying the ban) hurt us is appropriate,” Meyer said. “Because obviously we’re doing OK.” “Doing OK” doesn’t mean OSU’s $4 milliondollar-per-year coach hasn’t had to answer for the program’s NCAA penalties. Meyer said he and his staff have had to answer “a bunch” of questions regarding the team’s postseason ban, as well as the scholarship reduction. “Obviously, our staff has done a really good job fighting through it and absolutely — every day you’re answering questions about it,” Meyer said. “We certainly have had to address it many times.”

Chinese celebrations are comparable to American New Year. She said her family celebrated the New Year while living in Michigan, but she said it didn’t compare to Shanghai. “When I lived in China, it was a whole different level,” Qian said. “There (are) fireworks going off until midnight pretty much every night for two weeks.” This year marks the first time Qian has been away from her family during the New Year celebrations. Though her parents now live in Ohio, “it’s really different,” she said. “It didn’t really feel like (the Chinese New Year) because there’s no fireworks, no big family dinner, which is usually the tradition,” Qian said. Even without her family, Qian has been celebrating the New Year in traditional ways. The day before the beginning of the New Year celebration, Qian said she cleaned up around her dorm room to get rid of all of the dirt from the past. “It’s just tradition,” she said. Qian has even involved her roommates in some of the celebrations, taking them along with her to eat long noodles, a food that signifies long life, she said.

“Senator Dodd was merely making the obvious point that people support politicians whose views coincide with their own. When politicians take positions that people disagree with, those people tend not to support those politicians,” the spokesperson said. Similar to the current issue, a 2007 Washington Supreme Court case, Rickert v. Pub. Disclosure Comm’n, overturned a law regulating the content of political advertisements. The law was found to violate candidates’ First Amendment rights. “The notion that the government, rather than the people, may be the final arbiter of truth in political debate is fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment,” wrote Justice Jim Johnson in the lead opinion for the court.

Meyer said he and his staff have remained out on the road to put the finishing touches on his class, and have even used air mattresses while resting from pursuing the nation’s top recruits. Mark Pantoni, Meyer’s director of player personnel, tweeted from his Twitter account, @markpantoni, at around 9:30 p.m. Monday: “Sleeping on an air mattress tonight. No sleep till signing day anyway #2/1/12.” The bottom line is that kids just want to play for Meyer, Helmholdt said. “It’s the charisma. It’s the excitement. It’s the enthusiasm that Urban Meyer has,” he said. “These kids buy what he’s selling. They want to be a part of what he’s putting together.” The recruits are buying into Meyer despite the NCAA bowl ban and reduction of scholarships. So how will Meyer motivate his players, who won’t have an opportunity to compete in the postseason? Meyer said to ask him that question again during spring practices. “We haven’t even had to do that yet,” Meyer said. “I’ve been out on the road recruiting.” Meyer and members of his staff will discuss OSU’s 2012 recruiting class during a Wednesday press conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The conference is set to begin at 4 p.m.

Food, along with family, is central to the celebration. Noodles for longevity, dumplings and oranges for good luck and traditional sticky rice are all important parts of the celebration, Qian said. Keyue “Coco” Zhang, a first-year in psychology, said some of the food here doesn’t compare to the traditional food in China. Zhang attended the Chinese New Year celebration in Drackett Tower Sunday and said the orange chicken served is “not our traditional food.” “It’s really not that popular in China,” Zhang said, prompting a giggle from her American roommate. Zhang, whose family lives in China, said some aspects of the New Year celebration in China are similar to the American New Year celebration. People set off fireworks at midnight and watch a program on TV featuring singers and dancers, similar to New Year’s Eve programs in the U.S., she said. Though the Chinese Culture Connection is open to all students, Mancl said campus celebrations are especially important for Chinese students who are far from home. “By having these celebrations here on campus, it’s a way for (Chinese students) to celebrate with their new family,” Mancl said. “Their Ohio State family.”

Beck referred to lobbyists, such as those of the MPAA, as a “modern fact of life” when talking about Dodd’s comments. Support for SOPA and PIPA dwindled after thousands of sites participated in a blackout protest earlier this month. Both bills were postponed shortly after the protests. Petitions on “We the People” warrant an official response if they reach 30,000 or more signatures within 30 days. This petition, which reached more than 30,000 signatures in less than 10 days, has yet to receive a response. Fong plans to sign the petition, but said he feels like the whole program is a case of the government “pretending to listen to you while not really listening to you.”

studentvoice Meyer future of OSU, but we miss Tressel love Jim Tressel. I’m glad he’s trying to get back into coaching,” and a couple voices saying, “I hate Jim Tressel. He ruined OSU’s football program and I’ll never forgive him.” The first person I talked to hadn’t heard about the possibility of him becoming the Colts’ new coach, but said he had no ill will toward Tressel and hoped to see him get back into coaching. The second person I talked to had a similar opinion. So did the third. And the fourth. And the fifth. As much as I tried, the fact was, not one person had anything bad to say about Tressel.

In fact, the general sentiment was that people missed Tressel. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized I did too. I miss Jim Tressel. A lot of Buckeye fans are quite enamored with their new prized possession, OSU coach Urban Meyer. He’s bringing in a stellar recruiting class and seems to be giving the program the momentum it needs to lift OSU out of the hole Tressel helped dig. Maybe I’m crazy, but it just doesn’t feel right. Meyer is corporate. He’s intense and he’s very professional. He’s the type of coach who will make a player the best football player he can be.

NHL All-Star game a chance for hockey fans to expand, enjoy LANTERN Columnist

GRANT MILLER miller.5617@osu.edu

Another unique hockey experience is coming to Ohio. After Ohio State participated in the Frozen Diamond Faceoff this past month, it was announced that the 2013 NHL All-Star Game will be played right here in the capital city. For the Blue Jackets – currently the NHL’s worst team – this signifies a longawaited pick-me-up. Though hosting the All-Star Game won’t fix the team’s many problems, it does give hockey fans in the area something to cheer about. Saturday’s announcement came at an interesting time, as many fans took to the streets outside of Nationwide Arena to protest against the team’s front office that same day. Getting this glamorous All-Star weekend might not have been what they were searching for, but I doubt the news will cause any fan to be more downtrodden than they already are.

The game should prove to be another opportunity for the sport of hockey to grow in this community, especially considering its already-strong base. And while those groups of loyal fans will continue to “carry the flag” for the Jackets, there is still a capacity for large growth surrounding support for the team and the sport. The Frozen Diamond Faceoff already provided a big event from which people could anchor their interest in hockey on a college level, and the All-Star Game promises to do the same thing on a professional plane. One demographic where interest should be especially heightened is among students, always such a crucial group of consumers. With the game here next year, one can only hope interest around campus grows exponentially. No doubt that college students will be excited to see such stars as Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin, two poster boys for the sport. It’s not to be forgotten that along with the game itself, the All-Star game brings festivities all weekend, including the ever-popular All-Star Draft. But to those students who are already great hockey fans themselves, the game can turn out to be a once-in-a-lifetime event that they will never forget. So whether you watch the NHL network every night, or the only hockey you’ve ever seen has been highlights of the Miracle On Ice, the 2013 All-Star game in Columbus promises to be an event to remember.

But Tressel was a coach who made a player the best person he could be. He was someone players could talk to about life on and off the field. He gave the OSU program an image of purity. It had the feel of an old-school family values operation. It was an image Tressel carried on from Woody Hayes. When you supported the Buckeyes, you weren’t just supporting a program that won a lot of games. You were supporting a program that did things the right way and was successful. It went beyond winning and was part of the reason fans are so passionate about OSU football. People got the impression that Tressel loved to be a Buckeye. He even wrote a book titled “What it means to be a Buckeye.” In it he explained what being a Buckeye meant to him. “It means we are extraordinarily blessed and we have an awesome responsibility to uphold the higher standards that have been set before us,” Tressel said in the book. “It means we have a tradition that is second to none. It means we love Ohio State.” I don’t get the same impression with Meyer. I get the impression Meyer loves the opportunity being a Buckeye provides. He knows it’s a program built for winning and knows he can be successful if he’s in the driver’s seat. Meyer is a ruthless winner. Tressel was a successful saint. Obviously that image blew up in Tressel’s face when all the violations came out. Maybe Tressel is a con man and everything he did was all an act in a

grand scheme to win football games. Maybe it isn’t possible for a coach to be so successful and so saintly at the same time, but it sure felt like a privilege to support a team with a coach who gave that impression. I don’t think Meyer is a bad man. From everything I’ve heard and read, he seems like an OK guy. He just doesn’t give the OSU program the same wholesome image Tressel did. Plenty of people think Tressel’s image was just that — an image. A façade covering up the corrupt coach in a corrupt industry. But a man should be judged by the entirety of his actions, not one mistake. Tressel was the guy who visited hospitals, supported charities and provided support for players needing advice. I talked to a man named Dennis Singleton in April when all the violations Tressel committed were coming out. The reason I was talking to Singleton was because he has an uncanny resemblance to the former Buckeye coach. He used to dress up like Tressel for fun at OSU events. During a parade on the weekend of July 4, 2010, Singleton was on a float dressed as Tressel. Singleton said a flurry of people were coming up to him and anxiously shaking his hand thinking he was the real Tressel, but one interaction was different than the rest. “One man comes up to me very serious, a totally different demeanor,” Singleton said. “He looks at me and says, ‘Thank you

I was working on a story about the possibility of former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel becoming the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts last week. Obviously Tressel didn’t end up landing the job, but as I was working on the story, I went out on campus to get some students’ opinions on what they thought about the man who was at the center of the biggest scandal in OSU football history. The typical method for getting these opinions is going up to random people and asking them what they think. As a reporter, I try to make sure I represent all sides of the issue. So for this article I wanted to get a couple voices saying, “I

so very much for what you did for Gladys. She was my sister.’ Then he walks off and I didn’t know what to say, but it just speaks to Jim Tressel. He’s done a lot of good. He’s a good and decent man.” Singleton said he has tons of stories just like that. The media never reported on what Tressel did for Gladys. I’m sure nobody ever knew besides the family. Is a guy who helps an old woman and doesn’t tell anybody really a villain? Is a coach for one of the largest fan bases in the world that took the time to personally answer every email as long as it wasn’t too offensive, really a fraud? Maybe, but I don’t think so. And judging from what I heard from the OSU students I talked to, they don’t think so either. Urban Meyer might be the present, but it appears a lot of people miss the past. They miss Jim Tressel. And so do I.

Stand up for fans’ right to stand PATRICK SEAWORTH For The Lantern seaworth.1@osu.edu I’ve just walked into the Varsity Club and I’ve taken a booth in the back surrounded by fans celebrating a win against Michigan. Sitting here in a bar filled with a celebratory euphoria, it’s almost impossible to imagine what came of the tap I got on my shoulder just minutes ago in the Schottenstein Center. I didn’t get student tickets, so instead I took tickets on the opposite baseline. Section 131, Row D, a place where standing is frowned upon. I got to the game late after finishing a German written test and walked down to my seat with just less than 10 minutes remaining in the game. When I got there, the whole section was seated through an “O-H-I-O” chant. Granted it was my first game, and perhaps on this end-line section, fans are more like spectators, and standing is not welcome for that reason. I come from San Antonio though. Some of my earliest memories are standing in the Alamodome while Michael Jordan wowed us all or standing watching the Spurs in the finals as David Robinson finally made it to the promised land. I remember watching the Spurs in the new AT&T Center, winning what seemed to be 10 championships. And through the whole game,

OSU sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. attempts a layup in a basketball game against Michigan on Jan. 29. OSU won, 64-49. I was standing, not sitting, with my dad, in disbelief as the Mavs eliminated the Spurs. There in those stadiums, standing is encouraged, it’s almost sacrosanct, which anyone who has traveled to a San Antonio-hosted Final Four can attest to. But in those last minutes of the OSU-Michigan game, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see an usher asking me if there was

a problem. I was told that standing is only OK when everyone else is standing, what he termed the majority rule, and that at other times, standing is not encouraged. Now I can understand that we are a university of history and tradition, that the elderly attend with as much passion as the youth, but due to their age cannot stand through the game. Yet, if one is to attend a sporting event, one must anticipate that the crowd will come to its feet. I would think that one would hope the crowd would do so often in a winning effort. How is it that a group can take a vote when the other sidelines are already, and still, standing, as to whether or not we should join them? Perhaps the remote controls found in a biology lecture might be helpful. The results could be broadcast instantaneously to the large screens, and the section would know when they could and when they could not stand in support of the teams playing at that moment. My point though, focuses on encouragement. How can we support a team, when we must decide as a group whether or not we wish to support that team to begin with? What is the point of home-court advantage when the crowd cannot come to its feet one by one and remain standing even when the momentum is going the other way?

Offerman pushes the envelope Nick Offerman, who plays Ron Swanson on NBC’s ‘Parks and Recreation,’ spoke Monday at the Ohio Union about sex, success, serenity Katie Harriman Lantern reporter harriman.14@osu.edu With a heavy ‘stache, meat-and-potatoes attitude and love for the outdoors, Nick Offerman proved his TV persona isn’t far from the real deal. Offerman plays park district manager Ron Swanson on the NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation.” Wielding an acoustic guitar, Offerman gave about 1,500 students his “Tips for a Prosperous Life” Monday in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom in an event sponsored by the Ohio Union Activities Board. In his first show at a college on his “American Ham” tour, Offerman won over Ohio State students in the first five minutes with a comment about Michigan. “If I were younger, I would pull my balls out right now and make a joke about hanging brain over the Wolverines,” Offerman said. “But I’ve matured.” Offerman, who is also a craftsman and woodworker, strongly encouraged students to get off the Internet, work with their hands and enjoy the great outdoors. He said it is important to have something to show for your free time. “I want to assure you that most handcraft disciplines are not nerdy, they are actually super sexy,” Offerman said. “Handcrafts take a little patience and a little practice, not unlike the art of oral sex.” Mark Lasch, a first-year in biomedical engineering, said he thinks OSU students could benefit from Offerman’s message to enjoy the outdoors. “In the wintertime, people put their heads down and shuffle between classes, but there are still open

skies on the Oval,” Lasch said. “We have a beautiful campus. People should get outside and have some fun.” Offerman explained his tip, “Push the Envelope,” with a story about his youth as a shoplifting college student in Illinois. He said after getting arrested for “shoving eight Ronnie Milsap cassettes in his pants” at a Kmart, he realized being a decent person was more important than entertaining his friends. “If you want prosperity, do something different from what everyone else is doing without breaking the law,” Offerman said. Offerman said the incident made him realize that it is important to have respect for others, part of his tip “Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’” “I don’t care if you’re a network executive, a Presbyterian, a stripper or a fan of ‘Two and a Half Men,’” Offerman said. “We’re all equal brothers and sisters and we all deserve the respect of good manners.” Offerman referenced the Bible several times during his performance. “I think we all know ‘Leviticus’ is one of the most f---ed up books,” Offerman said. “Why are gay people forbidden a legal wedding, but vegetarians are allowed to marry, procreate, ride the bus and use our water fountains?” Offerman explained his love of Jesus Christ through a story about his first girlfriend for whom he became a born-again Christian. “We would kneel face-to-face and pray for the strength to resist, all the while drinking deep of each others musk … then we would f---,” Offerman said. “We would scrump and munch upon one another with pure animal abandon, and then we would cry some more and pray for forgiveness.”

Offerman said the blend of religious-right patriotism with country music makes him dislike Jesus at times. Offerman performed his own rendition of Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel,” in which he smokes weed with Jesus. “Jesus take the weed,” Offerman sang. “You’re the lord on high and you seem like an awesome guy.” Offerman also talked about his wife and “legal property,” Megan Mullaly, during his performance. In his fourth tip for a prosperous life, “Engage in Romantic Love,” he called her his “smokin’ hot woman.” “I don’t know what I did to end up with a ridiculously hot goddess as my bride,” Offerman said. “But I do know that it helps that I’m helplessly devoted to her. It’s cute, it’s sappy, suck it.” Offerman said he and his wife are boring for a Hollywood couple. “We really like to stay home and read books, play cards, watch HGTV,” Offerman said. “We do a s---load of cocaine and just hang out.” Offerman also encouraged students to listen to Tom Waits, read Wendell Berry and stay away from mirrors. “All the companies that sell you s---, the mirror is their conduit into your house,” Offerman said. “Guess what people, you’re f---ing beautiful. Quit looking in the mirror and go make a goddamn chair.” Allison Sasso, second-year in art, said she loves Offerman because of his “sheer awesomeness.” “He only drinks whiskey, he eats eggs and bacon and he’s a libertarian,” Sasso said. “I’m so happy OSU brought him here.”

As an “Arrested Development” fan, I’ve been let down before. I try not to get my hopes up, but generally I can’t help myself and get too excited for unconfirmed rumors and suspicions. But not anymore, I hope, because now the entire cast has confirmed to do the series revival on Netflix, by one of the executive producers of the show, Dean Lorey. Lorey said on his website the new season is happening, and with the full Bluth cast fans know and love. “We’re really doing this thing. Mitch Hurwitz, Jim Vallely and I are off writing the new season of ARRESTED … The original cast is back. There are offices and parking spaces,” Lorey said in a post on his website Jan. 28. Offices and parking seems like a pretty official thing, but as a fan of the Bluth family, I still hesitate to believe something will actually come of them. The show, which was canceled in 2006 after

CAITLYN WASMUNDT wasmundt.1@osu.edu three seasons, has been rumored to come back in movie form since its cancellation. In October, hope spread through the “Arrested Development” fan base. Writers and actors, such as Jason Bateman, confirmed the revival of what seems to be one of the most unappreciated series of our lifetime. For months fans have held their breath for more news confirming the show will be

continued, and now we can at least breathe a little easier because, according to various online sources, the whole cast will be part of this renewal. I’m still not sold though. I was a late arriver to the whole “Arrested Development” craze. I didn’t start watching it until after it had been canceled and the original seasons were put on Netflix, so to carry on the viewing tradition through the online movie provider will be natural. Since its cancellation six years ago, a film adaptation of the series has been the focus of the rumor mill. There have been supposed scripts in the making and deals being hashed out, and yet nothing has come of it. Lorey’s website continued to say that filming will begin this summer and the new season will air on Netflix in 2013. I can’t help but get excited, but until it actually comes to fruition, I will keep my fingers crossed in anticipation.

CD Reviews Lana Del Rey born to Ringo Starr fails to succeed on 1st album shine on solo album “Born to die” Lana Del Rey

VAnessA sPAtes Senior Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu Interscope Records’ newest darling, Lana Del Rey, has just released her debut album, “Born To Die.” An odd mix of hip-hop beats with bluesy vocals and agonizingly naked lyrics, this new kind of pop music can either change the direction of pop music or be thrown to the wolves for its weirdness. Unfortunately for Del Rey, 2012 got off to a bad start with her dismal “Saturday Night Live” performance that was supposed to promote her new album. Instead, it made a lot of people laugh. She was one of the few artists in “SNL” history to perform without having an album out and her nerves got the best of her. However, the music should always speak for itself and as far as this debut goes, it speaks highly of Del Rey. The common thread throughout this album is that Del Rey is determined to tell her life story, even if it gets repetitive. Her voice goes so deep it’s reminiscent of Cher and it could skew into boring territory, but she manages to hold her own on each track. It’s a stretch to call this kind of music pop because of songs like “Born To Die” and “Video Games,” which are very old-school and almost slow and

A-

cabaret-like. But songs like “Diet Mountain Dew” and “This Is What Makes Us Girls” show a more playful side of Del Rey that most of America has not seen yet. She plays different roles on various tracks, showing each side of her personality. Many critics have lambasted Del Rey for being unemotional in most of her songs, but what they fail to see is that her apathy is what makes her unique. She’s telling the story as if in a stoned haze with a circle of friends. And that might not be appealing to some people, but she has gotten herself a tight group of followers on Twitter and Tumblr who are dedicated to making her successful this year. There’s something extremely raw and strange about Del Rey. She sings as if someone stole her soul and she is now trying to retrieve it. She’s an ice queen and there needs to be more of that in pop music right now.

MAtt LoVett Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu It was a saddening task to get through Ringo Starr’s “Ringo 2012.” I wish there was a way I could say that more eloquently, perhaps in a way that would make Starr seem on par with many of the musicians he has teamed up with over the years (namely, of course, The Beatles.) However, Starr’s homage to his bestselling 1970s record, “Ringo,” is far less than stellar — a definite reason why Ringo has generally taken the backseat in songwriting. “Ringo 2012’s” overarching issue is that Starr’s characteristically old songwriting is not revamped or built upon. “Octopus’s Garden,” one of Starr’s most defining tracks of his career (with The Beatles), is most reflective of Starr’s style: painfully easy-going and lyrically simple — the antithesis of complex or innovative. The aforementioned Beatles tune is a great one, don’t get me wrong, but imagine listening to that song for just less than 30 minutes with little structural difference. The old sound was appealing for The Beatles and for records in decades past. On

“Ringo 2012” Ringo Starr

“Ringo 2012,” that sound is more than touched with magic of modern production — the album is drenched with it. Keeping up with his standard outdated style, Starr really didn’t produce that much new material for the record. However, “Think It Over,” a cover of Buddy Holly, is as flat as Starr’s original tunes. “Rock Island Line,” popularized by Lead Belly, has a classic, blues-rock sound to it, however Starr’s approach to the tune makes it perfect for a children’s album or the state fair. The turnout of “Starr 2012” wasn’t completely unexpected. Starr’s songwriting was always a bit more sing-songy, but nonetheless charming in its simplicity. However, these traits are clearly not doing Starr a service on this record. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

‘Old Ideas’ a breath of fresh air for Cohen MAtt LoVett Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu If there’s anything worth praising Leonard Cohen for, it’s his honesty. Through each of “Old Ideas’” 10 tracks, Cohen is excellently and tastefully expressive. It’s in expressiveness that it intends to contribute to our mores in a manner that is honest. With a title like “Old Ideas,” one would think their ear would be in for an exhausting grassroots folk trip, in which every song has a moral. And in a way, “Old Ideas” is just that. Cohen presents thoughtful ideas alongside his own personal, poetic musings. Take, for instance, the “Come Healing” predominant chorus: “Come healing of the spirit / Come healing of the limb.” This chorus seems to be a lesson, although an old-fashioned one. “Lullaby” and “Different Sides” also contribute to “Old Ideas’” mores. The album’s truthfulness and moral sensibility often come out in seemingly stream-ofconsciousness crooning. On top of that, it’s rather bleak. “Going Home” presents Cohen as drunk, desperate, even pathetic, “going home” in order to clean up “where it’s better than before.” The musical atmosphere of “Old Ideas” is a strange one,

“old ideas” Leonard Cohen

B+

perhaps eerie. “Amen” holds the largest instrumental section on the album. There’s a keyboardproduced string section (or organ? or at least an instrument that sounds like it) that serves as primary instrumentation on “Going Home” and “Come Healing” that almost seems too corny for today’s music. However, its use is minimal and serves as a nuance to Cohen’s croon and lyrics. There’s nothing abstract that makes Cohen distinct. It’s arguably Cohen’s voice — his croon that’s too addicting to be referred to as a croak. His rough, old voice (which can probably be attributed to a life that consisted of doing the things he mentioned on this album) is what lures or shakes away listeners. As such, his voice is his lyrics — it is reflective and exemplary of his lyricism and truly honest. “Old Ideas” is that, even in its grimace and peculiarity.

Like most distance runners, junior Cory Leslie is by no means an imposing physical figure. But he sure is fast. Leslie, a member of the Ohio State men’s track and field team, broke his own school record in the indoor mile this weekend at the Penn State National Invitational. His time of 3:56.85, more than a second faster than his previous record, was good enough to earn him an automatic bid for the NCAA Championships in March. In order to qualify for the NCAA Championships, Leslie had to beat the time of 3:57.9, set forth by the NCAA. “It’s definitely an honor (to hold the record),” Leslie said. “Especially, you know, considering all the great runners and athletes we’ve had come through here.” Along with owning the record for the indoor mile, Leslie was also a member of the relay team that set the OSU outdoor 4x800 meter relay record and he owns the 1000-meter indoor record, both set in 2010. Though he said he’s proud of the accomplishments, the Huron, Ohio, native, said he has bigger goals in mind. “In the grand scheme of things, being able to win a Big Ten title or be an NCAA All-American is definitely, you know, something that I’d like to achieve,” Leslie said. In order to earn All-American honors, Leslie must finish in the top eight at the NCAA Championships. Coach Robert Gary said he believes Leslie is finally starting to live up to his potential. “He’s got some really high individual goals that I think he’s now starting to realize now after a couple of bumps in the road,” Gary said. Gary said Leslie’s experience has been the key to his success this season. “I think Cory always has to kind of experience something, and truth be told, kind of struggle with it,” Gary said. “And the next time, it seems, he really comes back to hit it out of the park.” Having already secured a trip to the NCAA

called the biggest dual win in OSU wrestling history against Iowa, the Buckeyes traveled to Penn State this past Sunday and were beat handedly, 34-9, by the defending national champions. He said that while nerves and wrestling without starters redshirt junior C.J. Magrum and freshman Cam Tessari in the lineup didn’t help the Buckeyes’ cause, he didn’t sugarcoat the reality of it. Part of adjusting to higher expectations, he said, is being excellent on a regular basis — the difference between doing something once versus 15 times. “If you did it once, then why wouldn’t we reasonably think you could do it again?” Ryan said. “Not only did we not do it again, we were unemotional, there was

a lack of passion. Passion is easy to spot, no matter what you do in your life. And there was none of it to be found at Penn State.” Redshirt sophomore Nick Heflin said a lot of the excitement from beating Iowa was cut down after the loss in State College. “We obviously got to get better. We had a huge up and then a huge down,” he said. The going doesn’t get any easier, either. OSU faces its rival, No. 8 Michigan, 6 p.m. Friday night at St. John Arena.

Championships, Leslie has turned his focus to the upcoming Big Ten Championships. “Now that I was able to get to the NCAA mark, now I just kind of shift focus to the Big Ten meet,” Leslie said. “And even then, that’s always the top priority going into any season, is being ready to contribute and be ready to go, come the Big Ten Championships.” Leslie’s success has not come without hard work, hard work that involves lots of training. “Depending on the day, like today, we worked out so mileage will tend to be a little bit less,” he said. “But on days when we don’t have a workout we’ll run a little bit longer.” Leslie often trains with former OSU track and field All-American Jeff See. “He’s here every day and it’s just a great atmosphere to be around, knowing that a lot of the top guys from high school and as well as a few professionals are training together,” Leslie said. See, who is a professional runner for the shoe company Saucony, often enters the same events as Leslie. “A lot of indoor and even outdoor meets, up until the Big Ten Championships and NCAA’s, especially in track, you’ll get professional runners that will enter the races too because at the same time they’re going through a season as well,” Leslie said. In fact, Leslie finished second behind See at the Penn State National Invitational. “He beat me last year in the same race, so it was kind of interesting,” See said. “On the video (of this past weekend’s race) I went back and watched it, and he stuck like glue to me. He actually hit my heels a couple of times and it keeps you awake.” See spoke highly of training with Leslie. “He’s an absolute competitor and he’s one of the guys where you know that when you have a track session, he’s going to be right on your heels,” See said. “He’s one of those guys that holds you accountable and you just try to do the same.” Gary said he thinks having See and other professionals around has benefited Leslie. “It helps having a couple of these professional guys out here,” Gary said. “It’s definitely something that he wants to try to be able to do.” The men’s track and field team continues their season this weekend with the Akron Multi-Event and the Notre Dame Meyo Invitational.

No. 5 ohio State Wrestling After upsetting No. 2-ranked Iowa, 21-9, on Jan. 20, OSU took one on the chin strap Sunday, losing to Penn State, 34-9. The team has posted a 9-3 record through its ﬁrst 12 matches, including a 4-0 home mark at St. John Arena. When the Buckeyes take to their home mat again Friday against Michigan, OSU football co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell will join the team as a honorary coach. Next up: oSU v. Michigan at 6 p.m., Friday in St. John arena.

Women’s Swimming and Diving OSU has delivered in the pool so far this season, having posted an 8-0 record in head-to-head matchups. The team took ﬁrst place at the Pitt Invitational, the Ohio State Invitational and won two matches at the Shamrock Invite this past weekend, which was hosted by Notre Dame. Next up: oSU Winter Invite, Feb 11, all day at the Mccorkle aquatic Pavilion.

No. 10 Men’s Ice Hockey OSU clings to a spot in this week’s Buckeye Power Rankings, but just barely. The team, which was ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation in recent weeks, is winless in its previous eight games. The Buckeyes fought to salvage valuable points in the CCHA standings with ties in two of their last three games and keep their overall record at a respectable 14-8-5. Next up: oSU v. Michigan State, 7:05 p.m., Friday at the Schottenstein center.
