PAT BRENNAN Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee disagrees with the penalties that were administered to the university’s football program for NCAA rules infractions and seems to think the NCAA tried to make an example of OSU. During a Feb. 6 meeting with The Lantern, Gee said he believed the NCAA-administered one-year bowl ban and reduction of nine scholarships for infractions dating back to OSU’s 2010 season

were dealt to the Buckeyes because “this was Ohio State.” A college sports lawyer and a former OSU football coach disagree with the punishments assessed to the program, but wouldn’t join Gee in saying the NCAA tried to make an example of the Buckeyes.

During the 2010 football season, former OSU coach Jim Tressel failed to report infractions six of his players committed. Buckeyes’ wide receiver DeVier Posey, left tackle Mike Adams, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Daniel “Boom” Herron and defensive end Solomon Thomas each received a five-game suspension in 2011 for selling OSU football memorabilia in exchange for improper

benefits in the form of tattoos. Linebacker Jordan Whiting received a one-game ban.

The players finished the season and helped the Buckeyes to a 12-1 record that ended with a 31-26 win against Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl. The season was later vacated as part of the university’s self-imposed penalties and the $388,811 of winnings it took from the Sugar Bowl win was donated to charity on Aug. 15.

On Dec. 20, the NCAA announced its penalties for OSU football. Months later, Gee told The Lantern he still disagrees with the NCAA’s ruling.

Two historic space flights, 24 years in the Senate, 24 years as a Marine and 14 years at Ohio State. It’s a lot to cover in one life. It’s even more to cover in one night, but the Celebrating John Glenn gala will honor all of the titular astronaut and former senator’s legacy Monday.

“Each one of these areas, I remember things very vividly I’m very proud of in each one of those areas,” Glenn told The Lantern. “But it’s difficult to compare them and say one’s more important than the others” The date is no mistake, and marks the 50th anniversary of Glenn’s most historic day. Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft Feb. 20, 1962. His less than

five hours in space began a half century of space travel and study for NASA. Fifty years later, OSU celebrates Glenn’s storied life.

“It’s an opportunity to honor him and support his legacy at the John Glenn School,” said Shelly Hoffman, spokesperson for OSU. The event will take place in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom at the Ohio Union and proceeds will benefit the John Glenn School of Public Affairs and the College of Engineering. Entry to the event starts at $1,000 for a single ticket and goes up to $500,000 for a private dinner with Glenn and his wife.

The school hopes to raise more than $2 million from the event, Hoffman said.

Keynoting the event is Capt. Mark Kelly, commander of the space shuttle Endeavour’s final mission. Endeavour was the fifth

Norah Bagirinka never thought she would live to tell anyone how she survived the gruesome Rwandan genocide 18 years ago. But in front of about 50 people at the Ohio Union, Bagirinka did just that.

“Most of you have seen ‘Hotel Rwanda,’ it doesn’t even have an inch of what happened,” Bagirinka said. “I see a lot of movies, and I read a lot of books, but nothing can give the weight, because it was beyond human imagination.”

A member of the Tutsi clan in Rwanda, Bagirinka said it was the constant animosity and hostility between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority that eventually sparked the three-month massacre.

“You know about the Belgian influencing penetration of the country and how they came in and favored one over the other … so unfortunately, thanks to that penetration of the country, rivalry and hostility started to just boil, boil and boil, and before you knew it, we have a major genocide in living color,” said Jacquelyn Meshelemiah, associate professor in the College of Social Work at Ohio State.

Meshelemiah called the killing very up-close and savage-like. She said most people were “hacked” to death with machetes.

“Most of them were hacked to death, they were also clubbed to death and for those who were fortunate enough, I hate to put it in that context, they were maybe shot,” Meshelemiah said.

Bagirinka, a teacher in Rwanda at the time, said she was specifically targeted by the Hutu gangs because she spoke English.

“When the government soldiers came to attack the school, they were looking for me,” Bagirinka said. “They said, ‘There’s a woman here who speaks English and we think she has a connection with Uganda. We know she grew up in Uganda, maybe she came to spy.’”

Once the army tanks arrived at the school, Bagirinka said there were 10 heavily armed government soldiers ready to shoot her.

Bagirinka said she was ready to accept her fate, but it was a friend who stood up and defended her.

“He said, ‘This lady, I know her very well, I know where she comes from, I know her uncle, I know everybody, I don’t think we are doing the right thing,’ so they turned away,” Bagirinka said.

campus Roommates share honor Kelsie Ozamiz Lantern reporter ozamiz.4@osu.edu Horror stories can be written about the dreaded random roommate assignment of freshman year; it can lead to lifelong friendships or yearlong frustrations.

For former roommates Drew Enigk and Graham Welling, fourth-years in animal science, and city and regional planning and Russian, respectively, a new story can be written. These randomly assigned roommates were honored Feb. 10 with the Board of Trustee’s Student Recognition Award for their academics, service and leadership within their respective colleges.

This award isn’t usually given to two former roommates at the same time, and Enigk and Welling didn’t even know the other had gotten the award until a few days before the meeting.

“It was crazy,” Welling said. “We were like, ‘What happened in room 333 Bradley Hall?’ That lady who picks all the roommates, she must have known what she was doing.”

The two were randomly chosen roommates in Bradley Hall freshmen year and decided to room together again in Bradley their sophomore year in a quad with two other friends.

“At first I thought he was messing with me,” Enigk said. “Then eventually we realized that wow, they really chose both of us for this award. It’s just the funniest coincidence, out of all the thousands of people they could have chosen.”

Enigk and Welling have extensive resumes in their fields and keep busy in student organizations. Welling has been to Moscow twice to study abroad and has written a review of the city planning in Russian which will run in an annual review in October, and is vice president of OSU’s Russian Club. Enigk studied abroad in Australia for a quarter with aid from the Wolfe Study Abroad Scholarship, has interned at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and the Saint Louis Zoo, is a member of the Sphinx Senior Class Honorary and is an ambassador for his college.

Drew Enigk and Graham Welling, roommates during their freshman and sophmore years at OSU, were honored with the Board of Trustee’s Student Recognition Award.

“Drew’s amazing.” Welling said. “He’s always been super involved, and I feel like I’m driven too, so maybe being around each other there wasn’t competition, but it reinforces that work ethic. If I had a roommate who was slacking off and partying all week, it would have been harder for me to stay focused.”

Other than being passionate about their studies, they bring a lot of personality to the table. Enigk and Welling said they like to stay active, which is something they first bonded over. Enigk Rollerblades or cycles as a means of transportation, and picked up ballroom dancing throughout his time at OSU. Welling stays active with running and working out, and has

a part-time job as a Campus Area Bus Service (CABS) driver.

“Most of my friends are usually surprised to see me with real shoes on,” Enigk said. “Because I’m Rollerblading about 95 percent of the time.”

Enigk shared a story of their sophomore year when they rode their bikes nine miles to a reggae concert in Worthington, just to get there and find out it was a 21 and up show. They had to sell their tickets back half price and ride all the way back, but not before Welling ordered some Jamaican jerk chicken.

Enigk and Welling said being honored with is award together at the end of their undergraduate careers made the experience that much better.

“It was pretty cool we got to plan out what we would say,” Welling said. “And I feel like if it were me up there with some random person in front of the Board of Trustees, I would have been a little nervous, but since it was me and Drew, it was a cool experience.”

Enigk said he hopes to attend graduate school in the fall at one of the seven schools to which he has applied, studying either biological or evolutionary anthropology, and Welling has prospects for a job after graduation somewhere in Ohio with city and regional planning, but is considering taking a year off to teach English in Russia.

Solo, Morgan kick up heels, share stories with students Michael Periatt Asst. sports editor periatt.1@osu.edu

For United States women’s soccer stars Hope Solo and Alex Morgan, life has been hectic since participating in the World Cup during the summer of 2011.

Despite their busy schedules, Solo and Morgan made an appearance at Ohio State to speak to students about their experiences and a variety of other topics as part of an Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event.

Before talking to students, Solo, who plays goalie, and Morgan, who plays forward, sat down for an exclusive interview with The Lantern.

Both players said they were excited to interact with OSU students.

“I’m so excited to be on campus and see really more or less what the student body is like, than the city itself,” Solo said.

The U.S. women’s soccer team made it all the way to the final game in the World Cup, but lost to Japan in the championship. Even though they lost, the soccer stars said the event was a great experience.

“The World Cup was obviously an amazing experience,” Morgan said. “It was my first World Cup. We had a great journey through the World Cup. We did end up on the short side of the stick with that loss in the end to Japan. But we have no regrets.”

During the World Cup, Solo and Morgan became two of the most recognizable players on the U.S. team. That popularity afforded them opportunities to experience things outside of soccer.

Solo participated in the dancing competition “Dancing With the Stars,” and Morgan appeared in the most recent edition of the yearly “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition,” in which she posed in body paint.

“It was probably the longest day of my life,” Morgan said of the magazine photo shoot. “It took probably 14 hours to paint. I felt very uncomfortable at many times during that day, but I’m very happy with the results.”

But the players said their focus stays firmly on soccer.

“It starts with soccer and it ends with soccer,” Morgan said. “That’s our priority and although we have these opportunities outside of soccer, we need to go back and keep soccer our priority.”

The Olympics don’t start until July, but Solo and Morgan said the team’s preparation is in full swing.

USA soccer players Hope Solo (left) and Alex Morgan (right) spoke at an OUAB event Feb. 16 at the Ohio Union.

Team USA will play matches in Portugal, Japan and other locations before heading to London.

And after falling short in the World Cup, Solo and Morgan were clear. They want gold in the Olympics.

“Is there any other way to enter the Olympics?”

Solo said.

Solo and Morgan appeared to win over the OSU students who gathered to hear them speak.

Solo called up one lucky student to give her a hug because they were from the same town in the state of Washington.

The stars’ good looks didn’t hurt, either.

“They’re really hot, that’s the real reason why I came,” said Darius Shams, a fourth-year in zoology.

“I’ll be honest, but I did watch the World Cup over the summer, so I am a soccer fan too.”

For some students, the players’ visit meant they could see people they regard as personal heroes.

“Hope Solo is one of the two people in my life I’ve always wanted to see, which were her and Jennifer Nettles, who I saw in concert,” said Darby Mitchell, a fourth-year in exercise science. “So I’m just really excited I got to see her.”

Somalia’s plague of conflict, piracy, extremism continues Ayan Sheikh Lantern reporter sheikh.51@osu.edu Plagued with clanism, religious extremism, piracy and worldism, Somalia has been the center of conflict and chaos for more than two decades.

Following the overthrow of then-Somali president, Mohamed Siad Barre, in 1991, Somalia has had no formal government. Millions of people have been killed in addition to the constant fighting among rival warlords in its cities, and millions of others fled the country in search of new places to call home.

Kasim Ali, founder of Worldwide Somali Students and Professionals, a nonprofit organization based in London, said the need to restore Somalia is now higher than ever.

“We as the Somali youth need to put our skills to use and benefit our people, and we need to bring back our country to the way it was,” Ali said via a Skype call during a recent launch of the Columbus chapter of WSSP at Ohio State.

The United Nations agricultural agency said in a September 2011 press release that more than 750,000 people were at risk of starvation before February in what they called the worst drought to hit the region in 60 years.

WSSP decided to launch its “Operation Restore Home” project in Columbus, Ohio, in part due to the fact that Columbus is home to one of the largest Somali populations in America, second only to the Twin Cities in Minnesota.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are about 20,000 Somalis living in Columbus.

Ali said the goal of the “global movement” is to recruit Somali students and professionals working in the health care, engineering, education and agriculture departments and have them travel to Somalia this July to take part in rebuilding the troubled country.

Ali mentioned three main focus areas in the project, the first and “most important” area being agriculture.

“As you know, Somalia has been through a lot since the start of the famine,” Ali said. “So one of the very most import things for us to do is to teach our people and provide them with the tools they need to grow their own crops.”

The volunteers will also take part in helping in the education and heath care systems in Somalia.

Farhiya Kohi, an active member of WSSP from Chicago, told The Lantern the organization’s message inspired her.

“What inspired me is ‘Operation Go Home,’ where basically what we’re doing is taking students back to Somalia,” Kohi said. “The ultimate goal of this project is to create base in Somalia, where we Somali students can go any time and come back.”

Kohi said she’s never been to Somalia and although she wouldn’t be able to travel with the WSSP volunteers in July, she said she’ll be joining them next year.

Fouzia Awil, recent OSU graduate, said WSSP reminds her of the work that needs to be done in her homeland.

“It kind of reminds us of home, to go back home and do stuff for our people,” Awil said.

Kohi said students signing up to take part in the project are expected to take care of their ticketing costs. The group is expected to visit 10 Somali cities in the course of three months.

“We want in 20 years to have a newly built Somalia,” Ali said. “And it is up to us as educated Somali youths to make sure that happens.”

NCAA did “First of all, the NCAA — if we would have given up five bowl games, they would have imposed the sixth on us because they were going to impose a bowl ban. This was Ohio State. This was (the NCAA’s) moment in time, and they were going to impose a bowl ban no matter what we did.”

Gee, who focused his comments mostly on the bowl ban and not the reduction of nine scholarships over the next three seasons, said the university’s communicative efforts with the NCAA indicate that OSU has been and continues to be “overly compliant in some ways.”

“I’m a lawyer,” Gee said. “I take a look at precedent. There’s no precedent for a bowl ban for us.”

In a Sunday email to The Lantern, Stacy Osborn, the NCAA’s associate director of public and media relations, said, “The committee stands by the report it issued.”

Under the subheading, “Committee Rationale,” the Committee’s report said: “The enforcement staff and the institution were in agreement as to the facts of this finding and that those facts constituted violations of NCAA legislation. Further, as previously mentioned, the former head coach was made aware that football student-athletes sold athletics awards, apparel and/ or equipment to the tattoo parlor owner, but failed to report the information to athletics administrators.

As a result of this failure, the former head coach permitted football student-athletes to participate in intercollegiate athletics competition while ineligible.”

Michael L. Buckner, a college sports lawyer and shareholder of Michael L. Buckner Law Firm in Pompano Beach, Fla., told The Lantern that while he does not subscribe to the idea the Committee on Infractions tried to make an example of OSU, he disagreed with the Committee in the Buckeyes’ case.

“Under the Committee’s logic, Ohio State played ineligible student-athletes in the Sugar Bowl. I have a few problems with their rationale,” Buckner said. “(The Committee) is trying to inject themselves in the judgement of the reinstatement staff and the Committee on Reinstatement. That’s not in their purview. Their purview is to look at violations.”

Buckner said that since the Committee’s final report indicated it was Tressel’s responsibility to report the violations of the student athletes, harsh punishment should have been assessed to “The Vest,” and not the program he was forced to resign from on May 30.

Tressel was assessed a five-year “show cause” order, which would require any NCAA institution to incur penalties if they hired him to coach their football team. Buckner called Tressel’s punishment “hollow.”

“The Committee did not indicate that Ohio State knew, or should have known, that coach Tressel was not being fully honest,” Buckner said. “So how is that Ohio State’s fault? Why should Ohio State be punished with a bowl ban? So from my perspective,

women were subject to inhuman violence.

That wasn’t the last time Bagirinka feared for her life; she recalled witnessing the massacre of her relatives, friends and neighbors inside an empty church one early morning. Bagirinka said villagers were forced out of their homes and brought into the church for screening.

Nathan Howard, a third-year in criminology, said he found the stories Bagirinka’s told Friday in the Senate Chamber Meeting Room moving and extremely powerful.

“I’d seen ‘Hotel Rwanda,’ so some of that stuff was running through my head,” Howard said. “She explained that you couldn’t even imagine, so trying to multiply that in your head, it’s just all so sad.”

Bagirinka said those without proper forms of identification were judged based on their external features.

People were told to give up all their personal belongings including the clothes on their backs.

Villagers were told that if they did cooperate, their lives might be spared.

Bagirinka said despite villagers’ cooperations, the “killers” opened fire and began attacking everyone in the church.

“Someone is shooting this side, someone is killing this side, someone is macheteing or cutting, I can’t even explain how it was, it’s more than what you can put in a picture,” Bagirinka said.

Bagirinka said she was saved by taking refuge behind church seats.

the Committee should have been harsher on coach Tressel.”

Former OSU coach Earle Bruce also took issue with OSU’s punishments.

Bruce guided the Buckeyes through the 1979-87 seasons, compiling an 81-26-1 record during his tenure. Bruce also won five bowl games during his time as coach.

During a Thursday phone interview with The Lantern, Bruce said he disagreed with the timing of the bowl ban assessed to OSU. Bruce also took issue with the punishment given to Tressel, who now serves as vice president of strategic engagement at the University of Akron.

“I’m disappointed in the fact that — what they did, I mean to coach Tressel, they took his job and put him five years out of football … for what should have been a hand slap and a retention of the job. I don’t think it was all together done in the right way or was the right punishment.

“The bowl ban should have affected the players responsible for the rules violations,” Bruce said. “If they wanted to suspend a bowl game, why didn’t they do it last year and get the people that were involved in it,” Bruce said. “If you had the seniors on last year’s team already getting big punishments and take away the bowl game, it wouldn’t have been anything.”

Gee, Buckner and Bruce aren’t alone in their criticism of the NCAA’s penalties — OSU students still feel the penalties were too harsh.

Molly Weiss, a second-year in speech and hearing sciences, said she thinks most football programs have scandals and OSU was one of the few to be caught.

“I think the punishments were too harsh,” Weiss said. “The bowl ban should have been for this past year, not against the new team or the new players.”

Sara Youssef, a fourth-year in economics, agreed and said the penalties were a little much.

“It was disappointing and unfair,” Youssef said.

“We punished ourselves and who was wrong?

They’re just really extreme ramifications.”

The football team has continued preparations for the coming season in spite of the NCAA-administered penalties.

OSU hired former Florida coach and ESPN analyst Urban Meyer to coach the Buckeyes, a hire that Gee called “the greatest affirmation of the quality of (OSU).”

Since his hiring, Meyer brought in one of the highest-ranked recruiting classes in the nation for the coming season. Meyer has also made roster moves in preparation for the reduction of three scholarships per year over the next three seasons.

Still, Bruce questions the punishments the program will endure for years to come, saying, “I don’t understand the NCAA.” “I’ve heard some things that I wonder about,” Bruce said. “I think you let the (NCAA) do their job, and they did it with a vengeance.”

OSU begins spring football drills March 28 with the 2012 Spring Game set to take place April 21.

Chelsea Castle and Jenelle Cooper contributed to this story.

Hoffman said more than 600 people are attending the event.

While students might not be able to afford a ticket to the event, it’s not the only way to be involved with the Glenn celebration.

The Ohio Union US Bank Conference Theater will host the NASA Future Forum 2 p.m. Monday.

Panelists at the forum will discuss Glenn’s past and NASA’s future. Glenn himself will be a panel member.

“I didn’t want to be a panel member at all,” Glenn said. “But I think I’ll be a panel member on one.”

The panel will be broadcast live on NASA’s website.

“My mind told me, ‘If you sit down, no one will see you,’” Bagirinka said. “I sat immediately and that saved me.”

Bagirinka has come a long way since the 1994 genocide; she lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her three sons and is the co-founder of Rwandan Women in Action, a Columbus nonprofit organization. The group helps refugee women and children from Rwanda, the Republic of Congo and Burundi adjust to their new lives in central Ohio.

Bagirinka said her hardships have inspired her to help Rwandan women still suffering from the ordeal.

“There are many women who are wounded there, though the government has tried to help women, but still we have women still suffering,” Bagirinka said. “Because of the silence, because there is no structure to help them, so that’s why I wanted to bring it up.”

Meshelemiah said women were subjected to inhumane acts of violence during the genocide.

The acts included women being gang raped, some purposely impregnated by their rapists.

“There were many that were kept around pretty much as slaves to endure gang rapes on a ongoing basis,” Meshelemiah said. “They were used (and) sadistically raped not only with the penis … but with knives, the machetes and sharp objects.”

Meshelemiah told The Lantern the purpose of the event was to make students aware of the connection between acts of violence against women and genocides.

“If we’re more proactive in just addressing potential violence, we can prevent it from getting to the point of a genocide,” Meshelemiah said.

studentvoice Will Indians live up to city’s hopes?

LANTERN Columnist

ETHAN STRAUB straub.60@osu.edu

shuffle the lineup seemingly every game.

All three starting outfielders, Grady Sizemore, Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley, as well as designated hitter Travis Hafner missed significant time with various injuries. With arguably four of the five best hitters on the team missing a combined 284 games, the team struggled at the plate and eventually faded down the stretch. If all four, or even two or three of them for that matter, can stay healthy for all of 2012, the Indians lineup should be a potent force.

As the calendar moves to the latter part of February, professional baseball players around the nation are beginning to migrate south as they prepare for that special time of year: Spring Training.

After the Cleveland Indians’ surprising 2011 season in which they went 80-82, held the American League Central lead for the better part of the year and were in the playoff race right up until the last month of the season, expectations are high.

The roster is deep, manager Manny Acta is comfortable in his third year at the helm, and the fans are ready to start flocking back to Progressive Field.

With all the hype comes a few uncertainties and questions, though.

Will injured players return to tip-top shape?

Last season, many key players missed significant time, continually giving Acta the challenge of having to plug players in at different positions and

What will the fate of starting pitcher Roberto “Fausto Carmona” Hernandez be?

In the situation of Hernandez, known as Fausto Carmona to Indians fans and the team for the past 11 years, the future is uncertain.

Arrested on Jan. 19 in the Dominican Republic for allegedly falsifying his identity years ago to obtain a major league baseball contract, the 31-yearold not only lied about his name, but also his age, claiming he was three years younger than he actually is. The team placed Hernandez on the MLB’s restricted players list, meaning he will not be paid and does not count against the roster count until he returns, which general manager Chris Antonetti has expressed will be the case only once he is legally allowed to return to the U.S. Hernandez has been a cog in the Indians rotation for several years now, even though he has never matched his 19-win 2007 season and has been largely inconsistent.

The organization has the depth in

the rotation to replace Hernandez, but having him on the mound with all the experience he brings would be beneficial to the Tribe.

How will the team match up against the mighty Detroit Tigers?

The biggest question for the team is not internal. It comes in the form of the Detroit Tigers. With a managerial change in Chicago and two down-trodden teams in Minnesota and Kansas City, the Indians look to be in the second-best shape of any team in the division. But the Tigers solidified their position as the pre-season division favorites this offseason. Already armed with a deep rotation headed by last year’s Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, a war-tested manager in Jim Leyland, and one of the best lineups in the league, the Tigers’ front office had to like the roster that sat in front of them.

But after catcher Victor Martinez tore his ACL in January, general manager Dave Dombrowski went out and reeled in the second-biggest fish in this year’s free agent class in slugger Prince Fielder.

The massive first baseman slugged 228 home runs over the last six seasons in Milwaukee, and will fortify an alreadyloaded Tigers lineup while alleviating some of the pressure on their pitching staff.

Whether or not the Indians will be able to keep pace with the Tigers will be the question. Most of that answer will be determined by the Indians’ lineup, who will have to find a way to manufacture many runs as the staff will have their hands full already.

Solo, Morgan drawing new fan base for women’s soccer in 2012

the 22-year-old still spoke passionately about the game and her teammates. She even captured my heart a little when she commented on her team nickname, “Baby Horse,” because of the funny way she runs.

We haven’t seen nearly as much public interaction from Morgan as we have from Solo, but I’m guessing that Morgan’s recent appearance in the “2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition,” in which she is covered in body paint, will bring more opportunities for her.

With the Olympics only five months out, I couldn’t help but feeling a little giddy hearing Solo and Morgan talk about their plans to bring home gold. It should be interesting to see how well the team does and how much media coverage and hype their games will get in comparison to the 2011 FIFA World Cup. I and women across the country will watch these Generation-Y soccer stars take on the world in July and August.

Men will tune in for the hotties, but stay for the sport. Solo, Morgan and the rest of Team USA have given new recognition to soccer across a more diverse fan base, and at the end of the day, a soccer fan is a soccer fan, regardless of demographic.

Liberal arts classes brought out surprising chemistry with science Next fall, one of my closest friends at Ohio State will begin the long and arduous task of earning a doctorate in something chemistry related. Another will begin pursuing his in biological anthropology. My younger sister’s favorite part of the school day? Her AP Chemistry class.

Me? Well, I am a perfectly content and successful student in communication. In March, I will receive my diploma and journey out into the real world with no foreseeable plans to do anything related to science. And yet, in my very last quarter, I am enrolled in Chemistry 101 and I kind of love it.

The hallmark of a true liberal arts education is the requirement that students take courses from a breadth of disciplines.

For the most part, I appreciate it. I took an incredible course on civil liberties. I got to channel my inner Aaron Sorkin in a second writing course called “Criticizing Television.” Fulfillment of the foreign language requirement inspired me to complete a minor in Spanish. The liberal arts have been good to me. But I have been dreading my lab science, which is why it is not so surprising that I put it off until I couldn’t any longer.

Solo put it well during the event, when she set the record straight about her sex-symbol status.

“We want to stay true to the athlete in us,” Solo said. “At some point, you don’t want to become the Anna Kournikova of soccer, because let’s be honest, she’s not that great at tennis.”

The statement captured Solo’s unapologetic attitude she’s taken toward her stardom.

She even filled in an awkward moment on stage by doing the worm — a dance move you didn’t see on “Dancing With the Stars.”

I’m no newcomer to the world of women’s soccer. I grew up playing the sport and did a project on Mia Hamm in the sixth grade. However, the fans that showed up to see United States women’s national soccer team players, Hope Solo and Alex Morgan, Thursday night at the Ohio Union were a little different than the pre-teen girls who made up the 1999 team’s fan base.

The crowd Thursday was mostly dudes in their North Face jackets scrambling to get a moment at the microphone during the Q-and-A so they could ask Solo or Morgan on a date. Real smooth, guys. The pony-tailed little girls who had cheered the 1999 team were all grown up and dispersed among the crowd. Ohio State’s women’s soccer team, whose coach hosted the event, represented a large portion of the females in the audience.

After my initial, “Well, this isn’t right,” reaction to the crowd demographics, I realized that it’s 2012, and it doesn’t really matter who is taking an interest in the sport or why. I’m just psyched it’s happening.

People can say what they will about Morgan’s scantily-clad poses in “Sports Illustrated,” but when they’re on the field,

On the first day of chemistry, my lecturer told all 275 of us that this would be the hardest class we ever take. If she was trying to weed me out, it was working.

Then she said something that included the phrase, “All of you freshmen.” How embarrassing.

Far removed from my high school chemistry class, I sat there wideeyed and dumbfounded as every single voice in the lecture hall except my own recited in unison the three states of matter. I was thoroughly panicked.

The first chemistry lab was stressful. The first homework assignment impossible. But there was something about the delight in my sister’s voice as she walked me through the steps of

dimensional analysis (a personal favorite of hers) that made it all seem just slightly more bearable.

I started finding success in the class. And then it got fun.

Certainly not because of the 8:30 a.m. lectures, but because of the labs spent observing chemical reactions and solving for the missing piece of the puzzle. And because of the opportunity to become even closer to my sister as she tutors me and shares her pure joy for the science while I inspire some jealousy because she thinks my labs are so much cooler than hers.

My chemistry friend and I have never wanted for conversation, but now we have even more to talk about. I can make lame jokes about supersaturated resumes and he daydreams about an odd alternate reality in which I discover my chemistry “talents” early enough to become his study buddy.

So, liberal arts gods, listen up. I don’t say this often, but I was wrong and you were very much right. I can’t say what practical good it will do me that I have hand-crafted tin oxide, but I do know that my undergraduate education and my life are fuller for it.

The projected rotation for the Reds features Latos, along with Johnny Cueto, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Mike Leake — all right-handed pitchers.

Don’t be surprised to see Cueto start opening and possibly make a trip to Kansas City for this year’s All-Star Game.

If any of these guys struggle, don’t be surprised to see the “Cuban Missile” Aroldis Chapman, a lefty who will be 24 when the season starts, step into the rotation and try to blow by batters with his MLB-record 105 MPH fastball.

MULTIMEDIA Editor

To say I remember it like it was yesterday would be a lie. I remember it much better than yesterday.

It was Sept. 28, 2010. There I was, sitting in my apartment with no lights or shirt on. I had known this night was coming for weeks at this point. The Reds were going to win the National League Central and, for the first time since I was 6 years old, Cincinnati baseball was going to be back in the postseason.

It was a tie game, 2-2, against Houston. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Reds’ right fielder Jay Bruce swung on the first and only pitch of the inning.

Deep left-center. Gone. 3-2. Reds win.

I jumped, did a fist pump that skimmed my knuckles around the ceiling and let out a loud variation of the word “yes,” prompting my cat to scurry out of the living room before Bruce rounded first. I dug my smelly, wrinkled Bruce jersey out of the pile of clothes in the corner of my closet and joined my friends at the bar — an invitation I declined earlier so that I could watch in this historical game in peace.

Unfortunately, that marked the pinnacle of my excitement for Reds baseball since that time. Here we are, nearly 17 months later, and the team has been nothing but disappointing ever since.

They were swept in the 2010 playoffs by Philadelphia in embarrassing fashion.

The Reds went 79-83 in 2011 and were never in the playoff hunt.

The archrival St. Louis Cardinals snuck into the 2011 playoffs as a Wild Card to win the World Series.

Salt, meet wound.

But as spring training gets underway in Goodyear, Ariz., this week, Reds’ fans have every reason to believe that this really is the year they can win it all.

The club made acquisitions in the offseason that leaves no doubt they expect to win a division title this season. They brought in starting pitcher Mat Latos and closer Ryan Madson — proven guys who could thrive with new opportunities in new cities with young talent around them.

Women’s hoops seeks top spot in Big Ten Danny Restivo Lantern reporter restivo.7@osu.edu

After a decisive win against the Indiana Hoosiers, the No. 9 Ohio State women’s basketball team has crept within a half game of the conference lead.

Now, OSU will look to grab first place in the Big Ten when they travel to Penn State to face the No. 12 Nittany Lions (21-5, 11-3 Big Ten) Monday. The Lady Lions hold the top spot in the Big Ten, as well as a five-game winning streak after defeating No. 17 Purdue, 74-63, Thursday.

“You can never gauge your stuff on what other people are doing, whether they are coming in on a winning streak or a losing streak,” said OSU coach Jim Foster. “You got to stay focused on the topic at hand and that’s the next game.”

That task will include stopping sophomore guard Maggie Lucas, who had 28 points in the victory against the Boilermakers. Lucas scored 20 of those points in the second half, and five 3-pointers throughout the game.

“She’s able to get those three’s off and we just got to watch for her,” said redshirt junior guard Amber Stokes. “We know it’s going to be a competitive game.”

Lucas is averaging more than 19 points a game, while her teammates junior guard Alex Bentley and senior guard Zhaque Gray are averaging 14 and 10 points respectively. With its guards contributing a majority of its points, OSU is preparing to see a team that mirrors it’s own offensive attack.

“They’re good in transition, they like to push it, we like to push it,” Foster said. “There’s not a whole lot of teams in the league that like to go up and down … it’s going to be a fun game.”

Senior guard Samantha Prahalis and junior guard Tayler Hill combined, are averaging 41.1 points per game. While Prahalis sat out against Indiana due to an illness, she’s still averaging more than 25 points a game and needs 19 more assists to become the all-time Big Ten assist leader. She has 874 and is chasing Northwestern’s Nancy Kennelly, who set the

Monday’s game will be the first time OSU and Penn State have met since the Buckeyes defeated the Lady Lions, 84-70, in the 2011 Big Ten championship game.

After Monday’s game, OSU has two more games remaining, including a trip to No. 21 Nebraska (20-6,

OSU redshirt freshman middle blocker Shawn Herron rises for a hit against Penn State, Jan. 14. OSU lost in straight sets to the Nittany Lions, 3-0.

Men’s volleyball takes 2 at St. John Arena LISA BAREfield Lantern reporter barefield.2@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s volleyball team swept the weekend at St. John Arena with wins against Carthage College and conference foe Ball State to improve to an 11-4 record on the season.

A rowdy Carthage team brought an arsenal of choreographed chants with them Sunday afternoon.

Led by sophomore outside hitter Tyler Parks, the Red Men cheered in chorus after every point they scored and danced during timeouts.

The antics failed to shake the Buckeyes who took the Red Men in four sets. “(Carthage) was a match where we wanted to build some momentum coming off of Friday’s performance to get better to go into this coming Thursday and Saturday,” said OSU coach Pete Hanson.

Despite a victory for his team, Hanson was dissatisfied with the amount of errors in the match.

“You just can’t play like that, make those kinds of errors and play uninspired volleyball, no matter who the opponent is,” he said.

OSU led the first set, 4-3, until two consecutive errors from senior opposite Shawn Sangrey put Carthage ahead. The Red Men held onto that advantage and took set one, 18-25.

Carthage started the second set strong with a four-point lead. The Buckeyes recovered and the score tied 10 times in an effort to pull ahead. At 17 all, a five-point run gave OSU the edge it needed to close the set 25-21.

Junior outside hitter Nick Gibson scored on two kills and a block to aid in the crucial drive.

“It was a little bit of a longer battle than we wanted,” Gibson said. “You can make statements in different ways, whether it’s in three games or four.”

The score in the third set stayed within two points with both teams exchanging the lead. At 15-17, Sangrey’s kill and service ace contributed to four straight points for OSU.

Set point came for the Buckeyes on a service error by sophomore right side Pat Barry. Senior middle blocker Matt Yanz’s kill sailed out of bounds to give OSU the set, 25-18.

OSU took a quick five-point lead in the final set, 10-5, after a service ace from Gibson and a kill by senior outside hitter Mik Berzins.

The Red Men were unable to catch up and the Buckeyes took the set 25-16.

Berzins described Carthage as “a team that will sneak up on you.”

“They played with a lot of intensity and are a really top-notch team,” Berzins said.

OSU swept the Ball State Cardinals in three sets in their Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association match Friday night.

Sangrey recorded a match-high 13 kills. Junior middle blocker Grayson Overman and senior outside hitter Anthony Hock added seven apiece.

Junior outside attacker Larry Wrather led the Cardinals offensively with 10 kills and 11.5 points.

Wrather and Hock both tallied six digs for their teams.

The Buckeyes watched as an attack from junior setter Elias Aparcedo arched over the net and landed out of bounds to end the first set, 25-15.

In an attempt to keep the second set alive, Wrather leaped over the Cardinals’ bench between two coaches to retrieve a ball hit wide. Junior outside hitter Mike Stefani was credited with the service ace and the set ended, 25-22.

The third set, 25-17, included four more Buckeye service aces and only three errors.

OSU will be on the road this week with conference matches in Romeoville and Chicago, Ill. The Buckeyes will face the No. 7-ranked Lewis University Flyers Thursday and the No. 14-ranked Loyola-Chicago Ramblers Saturday. Both matches are set to begin at 7 p.m.

Men’s Tennis 4, Virginia 1

I normally don’t buy into the whole “intangibles win games” argument. I respect that intangibles exist, but when it comes down to it, in any sport, it’s the team that has the most talented players that normally comes away with the victory.

But as the Ohio State men’s basketball team continues to throw away any chance of being a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and looks destined for another early tournament exit, I can’t fathom any other crippling flaw on this team other than lack of intangibles.

OSU is undoubtedly talented. After Kentucky and North Carolina, I don’t believe any other team can match up to the Buckeyes when it comes to pure basketball skill. Sophomore forward Jared Sullinger is likely a top-10 pick in the NBA if he decides to declare for the draft after this year.

Senior guard William Buford has an NBA-ready game (although his play recently has surely given his draft stock a hit). And sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas is as potent of a scorer as there is in the Big Ten. Throw in sophomore guard Aaron Craft’s defensive game that ranks as one of the best in the country and OSU has talent in excess.

So what’s the problem? Why has OSU lost two out of three games and appeared out of sync since after the Michigan game on Jan. 29?

It’s the intangibles.

There was a point in Saturday’s Michigan game that particularly stuck out. Thad Matta, who traditionally is a relatively calm in-game coach, got right up in Buford’s face during a timeout and started chewing the team’s lone senior out.

Buford, who shot 3-12 in the game and finished with 6 points, struggled the entire contest and Matta, I’m sure, was trying to snap him out of his funk.

But the confrontation reveals a larger problem.

Think about it. Matta, in the middle of a heated road game with Big Ten title implications, had to use valuable time to try and motivate a player who should be the team’s leader. As the Buckeye’s only senior, Buford should be the one

OSU swept the 14 events in the Buckeye Classic. junior distance runner Cory Leslie did not compete in Friday’s meet, but will be crucial to the team’s success this weekend. Murdaugh will be attempting to defend his conference title from last year in the 400-meter dash. Leslie finished fourth in the mile run at last year’s meet, but he has been running faster times this season, including a mile time of 3:56.85 at the Penn State National Invitational which not only set a school record, but also met the mark to automatically qualify for the NCAA Division I Championship meet.

The quest to bring the Big Ten Indoor Championships title back to OSU begins Feb. 24, in Lincoln, Neb. The meet concludes Saturday.

TLN122220001 PACP01143442-01

The Ohio State men’s and women’s track and field teams participated in the Buckeye Tune-up Friday at OSU’s French Field House, their final meet prior to the Big Ten Indoor Championship meet.

OSU athletes won seven of the 17 individual events contested for each gender. The men’s and women’s teams each had a two-event winner.

Redshirt senior distance runner Adam Green took first place in the men’s mile run with a time of 4:11.25, and followed that with a winning time of 8:28.33 in the 3,000-meter run. On the women’s side, senior sprinter Christina Manning finished first in the 60-meter dash in 7.28 seconds, then won the 60-meter hurdles in 8.11 seconds.

In addition to the event winners, two OSU athletes met automatic qualifying standards for the NCAA Division I Championship in the weight throw.

Redshirt senior Matt DeChant met the mark with a throw of 70 feet, 9 1/4 inches, while fellow senior Max Mays also qualified with a throw of 70 feet, 7 inches. Ashland University’s senior Ryan Loughney won the men’s weight throw with a throw of 71 feet, 4 inches.

While the Buckeye Tune-up served as a venue for some of the OSU athletes to perform, others rested this week in preparation for the Big Ten Indoor Championships.

“Some people needed rest and some people need work,” said Karen Dennis, coach of the women’s team. “(Some athletes were) really getting geared up emotionally for Big Tens next weekend.”

Although he won two events, Green said the meet “was more of a training day.”

Heading into the conference championship meet, there is certainly pressure on the women’s track and field team, as they are the defending champions of the Big Ten Indoor Championship.

Two women’s athletes also have individual conference titles to defend ­­—­­­Manning was last year’s Big Ten champion in the 60-meter hurdles, while senior sprinter Madison McNary took first place in the 60-meter dash.

“As defending champions, we want to go defend our title, but we are also realistic in knowing that we have to expect people to want to bump us off,” Dennis said. “Sprinters and hurdlers all have to make it back to the finals.”

The men’s track and field team finished fifth at last year’s Big Ten Indoor Championships, but their sights are set on greater accomplishments in 2012.

Redshirt junior Heath Nickles, who cleared a height of 16 feet, 11 1/2 inches and won the Buckeye Tune-up pole vault, said the team is in it to win it.

“We won’t accept anything else,” he said.

Nickles said his individual goals for this weekend are to win the heptathlon and pole vault, stressing the importance of scoring 10 points for the team in each event.

Coach Robert Gary said Nebraska is the team to beat in the Big Ten. He said he believes in his team’s chances to win, because the team “doesn’t bring anybody to the Big Ten meet just to get the experience of getting their butts kicked.”

Drake takes care of sold-out crowd at the Schott

Wednesday

For one night, Columbus was with Drake shooting in the gym.

In fact, the Canadian-born MC seemed somewhat surprised when the sold-out crowd at the Schottenstein Center recited the now-infamous line from his verse on “Stay Schemin’” without his aid as part of his set on the Club Paradise Tour, which made its fourth stop on a 17-city U.S. college tour Saturday.

Drake’s fleeting set, which was clocked in at just fewer than 90 minutes, was comprised of many of the rapper’s chart-toppers, including “Forever,” “Headlines” and “Over,” but mostly featured selections from his last album, “Take Care,” which was released Nov. 15.

Propped against a monstrous video screen and with the aid of a live band and lighting effects that could have triggered epilepsy, Drake’s performance was good, but not great.

Club hits such as “The Motto” and “Headlines,” which wrapped the set, got the crowd going — it didn’t hurt that the video screen projected the lyrics for the latter — and his ballads, such as “Take Care,” which ended with a rather poignant guitar solo, presented a nice dichotomy representative of the rapper’s library.

Known for being a bit softer than the stereotypical MC, Drake made no qualms publicly displaying his humility.

He took a lengthy break in the middle of his set to shout-out fans, including one waving a Canadian flag, a girl on crutches and a patron wearing a knock-off Drake T-shirt. In fact, before walking off stage, he said the Schott “is still my favorite place to perform in the entire world,” and that the sold-out crowd was “one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.” That might have something to do with his verse in “Uptown,” in which he raps, “I see all this money through my Ohio State Buckeyes.”

Despite that, parts of the show felt wonky. Enormous video screens can add a dazzling visual element to a show, but it didn’t here. It primarily flashed grainy, black-and-white images, ranging from girls taking shots for “Marvins Room” to footage of a boxing match during “Forever,” in what was its best use. In fact, it was groaninducing on “Practice” when it flashed rather gratuitous images of women shaking their rears.

The live band was a nice touch but felt under-utilized as its impact was never really felt, apart from “Take Care.” Jay-Z, who brought a horn section, two drum sets and hype men with his live band when he performed at the Schott in 2009, did it much better.

Drake has quite a devoted fan base, as was evident by the startling number of high school girls who wore skimpy outfits presumably thinking they would impress the crooner. He had his moments — when he told the crowd the noise level was only an eight out of 10, the crowd responded by erupting to a decibel level the men’s basketball team will never dream of hearing — but on the whole, it wasn’t as energetic as other hip-hop shows that have come to Columbus. Ludacris, Jay-Z and Lupe Fiasco all seemingly got a bigger rise out of their crowds, but given that Drake’s library has a higher ratio of ballads than theirs, the fact that dancing was at a minimum in comparison can be somewhat forgiven.

Given the nature of Drake’s catalog, his energy was commendable, though the lack of an encore and tracks such as “Fancy” were head-scratchers.

Draped in a towel and guzzling bottles of Dasani after stripping down to a tank-top for “Marvins Room,” however, showed Drizzy was giving it his all for a venue and tour for which he had noticeable admiration.

Despite the show’s flaws, Drake did the best with what he had, even if what was around him, at times, felt (Canada) dry.

Blake Shelton amps it up for tour stop at Nationwide Arena CHELSEA CASTLE Managing editor castle.121@osu.edu “If you’re worrying about something you have to do in the morning, then you can kiss 11,000 people’s ass!” Blake Shelton shouted to an almost-full Nationwide Arena Friday.

This preceded the song “All About Tonight,” and set the tone for what was an entertaining concert.

After a blaring “Baggage Claim,” by Shelton’s wife, Miranda Lambert, played to a dark arena, Shelton appeared, being lowered onto the stage in one of three silos that decorated the stage. I wish I could tell you what exactly happened after that, but it was in that moment that the middle-aged woman behind me was getting her groove on so much that her beer was drenching the seats in front of her, soaking my legs in the process.

I tried to not let this dampen my experience at the show, as Shelton belted out his version of “Footloose.” What Shelton, country music and the ‘80s classic have in common, I couldn’t begin to guess. But it was a good way to amp up the crowd from the get-go.

Shelton strayed from playing songs solely from his latest album, “Red River Blue,” to my content, and played hits such as “Don’t Make Me,” “Some Beach” and “Home.”

After the fourth song, I grew to be pretty bored.

Perhaps it was the lack of company, but I’m leaning on the side of country music’s struggle to be more than a man standing on a stage with a guitar.

Shelton’s way to combat this was with great stories and friendliness toward the audience.

Shelton shared that when he gets nervous, he tends to drink, and while he was drinking on stage throughout the night, he appeared to be completely at home.

Shelton talked about how “people in Nashville” don’t like that he likes to drink on stage, or how he gets nervous and will get on Twitter and tweet about deer, beer and boobs.

“I’m a country singer for God’s sake!” Shelton said. “They don’t think I should be up here drinking and playing country music? I don’t know about you Ohio, but I like to drink beer.”

This anecdote, which was one of many of the night, set the stage for his latest hit song “Kiss My Country Ass,” where he sent a tweet on stage that read, “If you don’t like my tweets, you can kiss my country ass.”

The transition from the sometimes dancing, drinking Shelton belting out “The More I Drink” to the passionate display of “She Wouldn’t Be Gone,” was well-balanced and is part of the reason the show was so enjoyable.

[ a+e ] Showcase provides chance for members of local LGBT community to ‘be themselves’ DANI WEDEMEYER Lantern reporter wedemeyer.9@osu.edu Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students made their Q-Pid Semi-Formal Extravaganza and Gender Fluid Showcase a place to gather and be themselves.

OSU students and others performed dances, original songs and poetry, mostly focusing on the LGBT community and gender identity, Friday at the Ohio Union’s Performance Hall. One of the event’s sponsors was SHADES OSU, a campus group “dedicated to fostering connections between the racially/ethnically multicultural, LGBT student community and our allies,” according to the Office of Student Life’s website.

OSU students were able to attend a casting call before the event to audition, and many other participants were invited because they participate in a monthly Fusion program, which unites people of LGBT communities in various Columbus-area colleges and universities.

The performance hall’s stage provided a place where performers could sing and dance, but some also walked into the audience, which was encouraged to stand near the stage rather than sit at tables that had been used before the show to eat provided pizza and cake.

Some dancers performed solo, while others danced as a group, and the show even brought a dancer from the burlesque show “Viva! and the Velvet Hearts!” Many performers were dressed in drag, some were dressed gender-neutrally and others were dressed gender-traditionally, showing the diversity that could be found at the show.

The MC, Kit Yan, has performed at various slam poetry events, and appeared in “Asians Aloud,” an HBO documentary. Yan hosted a slam poetry workshop before the show Friday to help students fine-tune their performing and public speaking skills. He also emphasized the importance of having a safe place to gather, because not every place is safe for people of the LGBT community.

Yan read poetry about topics as diverse as his gender transformation, to how he reacts when people he doesn’t know ask him about his gender, to how his family has handled his gender identity and transformation.

Another reader spoke of how she is a “triple-threat minority” in one poem, which expressed the identity issues surrounding the LGBT community focusing on racial minorities.

Cherie Shanko, a fourth-year in psychology, said as a gay student, she tries to come to events like this, and she mentors younger students who might be struggling with coming out or being themselves as part of the LGBTQ FirstYear Cohort Program via the Multicultural Center. She said events like this are designed “to meet and socialize with other people.”

“It’s to get you acclimated to gay life on campus,” Shanko said. “Come hang out with us, meet other gay students … and then at the end of cohort we try to, like, funnel out to other organizations like SHADES.” Bianca Labarbera, a third-year in animal science, said she had been to other drag shows at the Union before, but this was her first gender fluid showcase. She said she was really interested in the poetry readings, her favorite being the one with wich Yan ended, which spoke of how his little brother handled his gender transformation and how he had been really supportive of it.

“I thought it was pretty awesome. A couple of the performances were drag performances but were a little more conservative than the other drag shows I’ve been to, but very similar,” Labarbera said. “I’ve never been to an event where there was spoken word, and I was really surprised by how moving it could be. I almost came to tears at the end of the last poem.”

LGBT students are not always comfortable being themselves if they will be singled out, such as at semiformals and talent shows put on by other groups, said Rashida Davison, a fourth-year in film studies.

Davison, co-president of SHADES OSU, one of the hosts of the event, said the group hopes “to provide a safe space for LGBT people of color to talk about their intersections of race, ethnicity, gender identity and sexuality.”

“SHADES is just like different, you know, parts of your identity,” Davison said.

The group began as a support group, but now holds events such as the semiformal, which they helped host last year, and the gender fluid showcase, which was new this year.

Davison mentioned the importance of allies to the LGBT community being involved with these events and spreading opportunities to educate those who are not as aware of those individuals and the struggles they face.

“I noticed that there were a lot of allies there as well, so it was educational for them,” Davison said. “Some of the people who were performing were speaking on their own experiences. So it’s a learning experience for allies and then it’s more like affirmation for people within the community. So it’s like a, ‘You aren’t alone,’ like, ‘You aren’t going through this by yourself.’”
