ALLY MAROTTI Campus editor marotti.5@osu.edu The Moritz law student indicted last week for allegedly stealing almost $35,000 worth of library books and selling them on Amazon.com has cooperated in the case, prompting OSU’s lead investigator to predict a conviction.

Christopher Brian Valdes, who was a secondyear law student when OSU Police charged him with theft in October 2010, stole 387 books from the law library in Drinko Hall, said OSU Police Detective Peter Dragonette, who is the lead investigator of the case.

“I am unable to discuss any details regarding the case,” Valdes said in an e-mail to The Lantern. “I wish my reply could be of more assistance.”

SEC vs. Big Ten

Valdes was indicted for fourth-degree felony theft. His arraignment is scheduled for March 2.

Bradley Koffel, Valdes’ lawyer, declined to comment.

“There’s no reason why we shouldn’t get a conviction out of this,” Dragonette said.

To replace these books, the law library would need $34,600, Dragonette said.

“I would expect him to pay (restitution for the books), but that’s up to the courts to decide,” Dragonette said.

Valdes created two Amazon seller names, Orion Bookstore and Brianisme, from which to sell the books.

“As far as the majority of the books that he stole and shipped to people throughout the country and throughout the world … we have not recovered those,” Dragonette said. “There’s no way for us to get those back.”

Because of the legitimacy of the buying process of the stolen books, Dragonette said recovering them was unlikely.

“It’s just not practical,” Dragonette said. “The books were purchased through legit channels and that’s why we’re holding Mr. Valdes responsible.”

Valdes was enrolled at OSU in the Moritz College of Law Autumn Quarter 2010. He is not enrolled at OSU this quarter, said Amy Murray, an OSU spokeswoman.

“He basically withdrew from school on his own, probably before he could be kicked out or suspended,” Dragonette said.

Murray could not confirm Dragonette’s comment.

“We take no pleasure in knowing one of our students was indicted,” said Bruce Johnson, associate dean for information services at Moritz College of Law. “He threw away his … career in law.”

OSU’s top-rated ‘drug company’ battles cancer THOMAS BRADLEY Lantern reporter bradley.321@osu.edu “We will have a cancer-free world. I think we will have it in my lifetime,” said Dr. Michael Caligiuri, CEO of the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

Nearly 700 people gathered in the Ohio Union on Friday for the 13th annual scientific meeting for the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center, said Dr. Michael Lairmore, a professor and associate dean for research and graduate studies in the department of veterinary biosciences. The theme of this year’s event was “translation,” and the event was called “Exceptional Cancer Research from Patient to Populations.”

The OSUCCC was awarded an exceptional rating from the National Cancer Institute.

Exceptional is the highest rating the NCI can give a cancer center. Caligiuri said at most, only two or three cancer centers receive this rating a year.

The annual meeting for the OSUCCC brings together people from not only OSU, but from around the world to learn about advancements being made in cancer research.

The OSUCCC is made up of 13 of the 18 colleges at OSU. From pharmacy to engineering to business to agriculture, every college involved plays a role in cancer research.

Polar ‘plungers’ raise $61K for Special Olympics Ohio CORY SHAFFER Lantern reporter shaffer.294@osu.edu Mirror Lake Jump. Selection Sunday Jump. Polar Bear Plunge.

For some reason, people in Columbus love the idea of jumping into ice-cold bodies of water en masse.

On Saturday at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, more than 300 people plunged into a swimming

pool filled with 34-degree water at Central Ohio’s 9th Annual Polar Bear Plunge, a fundraising event for Special Olympics Ohio.

Paige Ludwig, director of marketing and development at Special Olympics Ohio, said Saturday’s plunge helped raise about $61,000 for the organization.

“We more than tripled last year’s amount,” Ludwig said.

campus 12-egg omelet leaves eater beaten, battered TRENT BARTER Lantern reporter barter.1@osu.edu On a day that started off with much optimism, competitive eater and native Clevelander Scott Bickel failed to complete Hang Over Easy’s ultimate hangover challenge Saturday.

Like many who have dealt with real hangovers, Bickel threw up before it was over.

“Any event I do, I give it all I can. So I mean, yeah, I’m really mad right now, but I know I did my best so I can’t beat myself up over it,” Bickel said.

Owner Nick Pedro created Hang Over Easy’s latest ultimate hangover challenge, a 30-minute contest in which the eater must put down a 7.5-pound omelet consisting of 12 eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, sausage gravy and five biscuits, said manager Brian Vura.

No one in the two-year history of the challenge has been able to conquer it. A total of 52 challengers, now 53, have tried and failed, including one brave individual who tried twice and failed both times.

“We had one guy that was as close as Scott and he threw up as well. We do call it the ultimate hangover challenge,” Vura said.

With some of Bickel’s friends and the lunch crowd of about 50 people in attendance, Bickel started pacing before the event and momentarily paused, putting his hands together for a quick prayer.

He jumped right in once the timer started, and submersed his hands in an omelet pile. Almost in unison, people’s eyes started gravitating toward the front of the restaurant, taking out their cell phones to take pictures.

With such fanfare and commotion, even some kitchen staff came from the back of the restaurant and checked on his progress.

The most exciting moment of the challenge came in the 20-minute mark. After eating nearly two thirds of the omelet, Bickel took a 30-second pause, looking as though he was about ready to unleash the entirety of the omelet from his stomach.

The crowd, silent, fearing the worst, didn’t know what to expect.

Suddenly Bickel dove right back into the omelet at a furious pace, inciting applause and cheering from the crowd.

Someone in the crowd said, “Somebody grab some Pepto.”

“A lot of times when he slows down, we’re not sure what’s about to happen,” said Bickel’s event photographer, Tony Carter.

With time winding down in the final minute of competition, Bickel tried to find some way to force the last handful of omelet down by dunking it in water. The strategy backfired and he threw up just after attempting to eat the last part of his challenge, ending the competition.

This was the first time Bickel has puked during a competition.

People in attendance winced and let out a sigh of disappointment, but soon it turned into mass applause once again for the effort.

“It’s still quite impressive. He didn’t quite make it, but it’s still way more than anyone else could’ve eaten,” said Benjamin Baptiste, a firstyear in electrical engineering.

Orest Danylewycz, a first-year in chemical engineering, attended North Royalton high school with Bickel.

Scott Bickel, a competitive eater from Cleveland, attempts Hang Over Easy’s ultimate hangover challenge, a 7.5-pound omelet, on Saturday. Bickel failed and threw up in the last minute of the competition.

“This is definitely one of his most unique challenges only because he’s never done breakfast food,” said Danylewycz. “I mean half-an-hour and 8 pounds is a lot.”

While some were amazed at what he ate, others thought of what could have been.

“I feel bad for him, actually. If anyone was going to be able to do it, I would’ve liked for it to have been him,” Vura said. “I’m a Cleveland guy myself so I have a soft spot for him.” Clearly disappointed, Bickel still found something to take away from the event in the applause he inspired.

“It really motivated me. A lot of these people don’t know who I am or just met me for the first time today, so it means a lot,” Bickel said.

Bickel plans to have his next event in a month or so, and as for his immediate plans for the future, it’s pretty simple.

“I go back to training Monday,” Bickel said. “So I’m just going to bounce off and keep going.”

MIKE HUGHES / Lantern reporter

OSU’s Delaware Center in Lewis Center, Ohio, on Feb. 14. The Delaware Center is scheduled to close after Spring Quarter 2011.

Students sign petition to save Delaware Center from Columbus State absorption MIKE HUGHES Lantern reporter hughes.1217@osu.edu After Ohio State’s announcement that OSU Marion would be shutting down the Delaware Center after Spring Quarter, many of its nearly 800 students, faculty and staff are protesting the decision.

“The faculty is awesome, the location is perfect and the environment is perfect,” said James Fisher, a first-year in aerospace engineering at the Delaware Center.

Located in Lewis Center, the Delaware Center is a one-building campus that offers OSU Marion students many first- and second-year courses.

OSU announced the center was closing Feb. 10.

Fisher wrote two petitions looking to save the Delaware Center that each have more than 350 signatures. The Facebook group “Save the Delaware Center” has 171 members since its creation on Feb. 14.

“A lot of students have expressed that the way OSU is handling this situation is wrong,” Fisher said.

“Someone should have told us a long time ago that this was a possibility.”

The Delaware Center has grown every year since its opening a decade ago, said Louis Hominga, Delaware Center admissions officer. The Delaware Center population has increased from less than 200 to about 800 students, Hominga said.

The Delaware Center population is about 11 percent Somali and 28 percent minority, Hominga said.

According to the Ohio State Marion website, the student enrollment at the Marion campus and the Delaware Center has increased from about 1,200 to 1,900 from 2000 to 2010.

However, this was not enough to keep the Delaware Center open.

2A

“The lease for the Delaware Center building expires in September 2011,” said OSU Marion dean Gregory Rose. “The timing was right for the decision to be made.”

Rose also said reasons for the closure include OSU’s commitment to collaborate with Columbus State, the Ohio state government’s strategic plans for higher education development and the opening of a nearby Columbus State facility last fall.

An e-mail sent to Delaware Center students revealed many of these same explanations. Fisher said personal e-mails he sent to Rose and President E. Gordon Gee garnered similar responses.

For Delaware Center students, the environment will be what they miss the most.

“It’s a more personal experience,” said Nick Elencovf, an office assistant, about the Delaware Center. “I never had a problem with any of the faculty or staff.”

“I really enjoy the small class sizes,” said Mohamed Ali, a second-year in molecular genetics at the Delaware Center.

With Spring Quarter nearing, Ali, like other Delaware Center students, has a small window to change his college education plans.

“Students do not want to be forced to Columbus State,” said Mike Lohre, senior English lecturer at the Delaware Center.

For students, transferring to the nearby Columbus State Delaware campus will be the closest option. While OSU has yet to announce any staff or faculty cuts, Rose said roughly two-thirds of the academic course schedule will move to Columbus State Delaware campus.

But, perhaps Fisher feels disregarded in the process.

“The Delaware Center is an awesome campus, and we hate the idea of it closing,” Fisher said. “All too often, the student voice goes unheard.”

Plunge from 1A

“Plungers” weren’t the only people happy to support Special Olympics Ohio.

The zoo’s vice president of community relations, Patty Peters, said the plunge was a chance for the zoo to give back to the community that has shown them support in the past.

“We get a lot of support from the community,” Peters said. “Any time we can support other organizations in the community, we’re happy to do that.”

Peters said last year’s opening of the zoo’s polar bear exhibit, Polar Frontier, provided the perfect setting for this year’s plunge.

“With the opening of the polar bear (exhibit), I think it just made sense to move it here,” Peters said. Last year’s plunge was at Crew Stadium.

Leonid Polyak is a research scientist at OSU’s Byrd Polar Research Center and helped contribute information on the polar bear’s natural habitat to Polar Frontier. Polyak was at the event with his family, and is originally from St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Oh, this is very warm,” he said of the 42-degree temperature with a wind chill of 34 degrees. “In Russia, it’s much colder than this.”

According to Intellicast, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in St. Petersburg, it was minus-2 degrees.

Although Polyak didn’t jump, his wife, friend and son did, wearing costumes to promote a message important to them. The friend was wearing all black with a sign reading “Less Fossil Fuels” taped to her midsection. Mrs. Polyak was dressed in white, her sign reading “More Polar Bears.”

“We’re here not only because of the message, but just to have some fun,” Polyak said.

Ludwig said Saturday’s Polar Plunge was the sixth of 11 jumps scheduled around the state.

“When we started, our goal was to raise $300,000,” Ludwig said. “Everything is going ahead of that goal.”

Next Saturday’s Polar Plunge is in Geneva-onthe-Lake in the Geneva State Park.

OSU research scientist from Russia says 42-degrees is warm students had to raise at least $50 and all other jumpers had to raise $75, Ludwig said. One group raised more than $11,000.

“These events provide the much-needed funds for operating all of the programs we do throughout the year,” Ludwig said.

The water might have been cold, but spirits were warm as more than 500 on-lookers laughed during the costume competition — complete with an outhouse, a bag of Polar Ice made of bubble wrap and a gorilla with a tiara and sash reading “Miss Ann Arbor” — and cheered as jumpers walked onto the platform and took the plunge.

Ross Ferrise and Larry Berliner, graduate students at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business who sported wool business suits and leather briefcases, said they’ve been in colder water.

“It was shockingly colder than I expected,” Ferrise said, with Berliner adding, “But it wasn’t as bad as Mirror Lake.”

They said the jump was also a chance for them to support a good cause.

“Special Olympics is one of my favorite charities,” Ferrise said. “We’re definitely looking to help out any way we can.”

Hannah Crossen and Eric Monroe were also looking to be “Freezin’ for a Reason,” as the event’s tagline said.

“I’m nearing the end of my undergrad, so I wanted to get involved while I have the chance,” said Monroe, a fourth-year in English who just got accepted into OSU’s Moritz College of Law. Crossen said she agreed with Monroe.

“We were both looking for something extra to help with,” said Crossen, a third-year in agricultural and extension education.

with his attorney,” Dragonette said. “That’s always a bonus, when you have a suspect that feels like he’s bested and tries to put himself in a better position.”

During an interview, Valdes told Dragonette about his second seller name, Brianisme.

“I appreciated his honesty and I think we ended up finding another 100-and-some books that way,” Dragonette said.

This new evidence is one reason the investigation took so long. OSU police now had a solid case against Valdes, and the courts will expect a plea from him during his next appearance, Dragonette said.

“Investigations take longer than you see on TV shows,” Dragonette said.

the genes that cause colon cancer. This will be marketed across the United States and this will save 21,000 lives a year.”

Another advancement that is being made in cancer research involves stress management. Caligiuri said Dr. Matt During, a profesMichael Caligiuri sor in the college of medicine, and his team concluded that there were three levels of stress management, and a “healthy level of stress,” has been shown to help cancer patients.

“Stress relaxation promotes better survival from cancer. If there is modest stress in good social interaction, the results were significantly higher than when exposed to high stress situations,” Caligiuri said. “We are now incorporating stress relaxation to all of our treatment.”

There were studies done on mice and humans about this kind of stress management, and both tests showed better results when exposed to healthy levels of stress.

Caligiuri said the $100 million donation OSU received Wednesday from Leslie Wexner will be significant for OSU’s cancer research.

“Some of the money is going to come to the cancer program of the Ohio State University. We’re going to successfully prevent, cure and create a cancer free world with resources,” Caligiuri said. “I admire their

vision. I hope the exceptional rating we received had a tremendous influence on Mr. Wexner’s decision.”

The annual meeting has grown in the past 13 years. Lairmore described it at its roots as a laboratory meeting.

Now it has grown to a conference-type event Michael Lairmore with scientific poster contests, art contests and several guest speakers from around the world.

“We like to challenge our own investigators by showing them the world’s top-notch scientists. We ask our membership to nominate speakers,” Caligiuri said.

Guest speakers included Dr. Polly Newcomb, Dr. James Fagin, Dr. Hugo Rugo and Dr. Larry Maxwell. Caligiuri said OSUCCC insists they have speakers from the areas of prevention, molecular biology and clinical.

Lairmore and his committee of 12 spent nearly a year planning the annual meeting.

Lairmore said he was working on a budget of $100,000, and the event was open invitation and free to register for all attendees.

Caligiuri spoke to the audience at the end of the day, celebrating the exceptional rating the OSUCCC had received. He raised a glass of champagne to the crowd toasting to the future of the OSUCCC and “to a cancer-free world.”

Cancer from 1A

Besides cancer, OSU makes strides in stress research work with all of these departments and create, simply, a drug company.

“We can do inception to the clinic of drugs, we can create the drugs in our minds, build them in our chemistry labs, test them in veterinary medicine and in the college of pharmacy, right into the clinic. Essentially, we have a drug company,” Caligiuri said.

Lairmore said OSU has all the components necessary to create this “drug company.”

He said the difference between OSU and the pharmaceutical companies is that research motivates OSU, instead of money.

“If something doesn’t look like it’s going to have a big value, (the pharmaceutical companies) will sometimes quit on a drug. OSU doesn’t do that,” Lairmore said.

Caligiuri said there are three steps being made at the OSUCCC to cure cancer: development, prevention and treatment. Caligiuri said all three are important, but he said if there was a way to know who was going to get cancer, and why, it would be easy to ultimately prevent it all together.

“One of our goals is developing and understanding the risk factors of cancer. Imagine if we knew if someone was going to get colon cancer. We can start giving colonoscopies starting at the age of 20; they would never get cancer. Ohio State actually discovered one of

When the library will replace the books depends on the outcome of the judicial proceedings and what happens in terms of compensation, Johnson said. Also, there are some books that he said would prove more difficult to replace.

Kardashians, other reality TV stars offer diversion during quarter’s stretch run sher yl ro adc ap Lantern columnist roadcap.2@osu.edu It is that time of the quarter again, when pressure begins to mount from approaching due dates.

After constantly having your nose buried in a book or glued to the computer, brief, pleasant diversion is not necessarily a bad thing.

You could say that a guilty pleasure is another way to word “pleasant diversion.” So, when it comes to guilty pleasures, other than, perhaps, tabloid magazines or video games, reality TV has to be king.

There is so much reality TV on television that there is something for everyone. Whether you like “The Real World,” “The Bachelor,” “Survivor,” “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” or “Jersey Shore,” you are sure to be amused — or disgusted, but at least comfortably numb.

These various shows all follow around a bunch of nobodies that we make into somebodies, because we are more interested in watching them live their lives than going out and living our own lives. But hey, sometimes you just need to go a little mindless — and what is better for tuning out than watching the lives of seven strangers, living together in one house, who “stop being polite and start getting real?”

If you are hypnotized by the love genre, there are several shows focused on helping one find love in a rather bizarre way. The absurdity of the idea that one will find lasting love on a show where one person picks from a pool of people, while on a group date, on camera, must be why these shows continue to draw high ratings season after season.

Sometimes we just need to be transported to another world to escape the stress of responsibilities. Imagining being on an exotic island on the other side of the world competing to win $1 million, or living the beautiful, rich and famous life of Hollywood, is something we all dream about from time to time. Why not just get lost in the staged reality of another person’s life to temporarily forget about the demands of this or that class?

I mean, after GTL, what is better than watching a group of chiseled Guido’s and Guidettes fist-pump the night away in between their late night hookups and constant bickering? This type of TV can be viewed as completely repulsive, or absolutely amusing. One thing is for sure: It is not exactly reality, and although it can be a little embarrassing to admit you partake in this entertainment, it will certainly take your mind off that looming research paper.

• It would make for an interesting survey if the application instead asked, “For the sake of being accepted, which race BRAD MILLER would you prefer?” miller.4410@osu.edu • Some commenters have mentioned that they are not surprised a conservative group published this study, meaning it was merely pushing a political agenda. Fair enough, but it is equally unsurprising that a liberal group did not publish this study, for the same reason.

• Some have said they were kept out of college by a minority.

I am curious as to how they know this. I wonder what color the person was that my admission kept out of college.

• I’m surprised that I haven’t seen or heard any complaints about this study being published during Black History Month.

• In observing this university over the past four years, I have never thought that any group was represented unfairly. I just always thought that there was representation from every group imaginable.

• Roger Clegg, president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, said, “Universities will say that they consider race and ethnicity simply as a tiebreaker or simply as one factor.” If true, then it is still discrimination. It implies that two students who are otherwise equal might be ranked according to skin color. That is like officials granting a win to the Lakers in a tie game because they like the color yellow.

• Clegg also said that, at OSU, blacks were favored nearly eight-to-one when using the ACT and more than three-to-one using the SAT. This tells me that, if I’m black, I want to be sure to take the ACT, and if I’m white I better try and take the SAT. • Similar results were found in the CEO’s 2006 study of the University of Michigan. Only, at Michigan, the people who feel most offended are the ones who get accepted.

• The bickering that takes place on both sides of this issue proves once again that everyone wants to be a victim. No matter whom you ask, he or she is a victim of something, even in presentday society. Blacks, whites, gays, Jews, Muslims — you name it.

They have all been mistreated by someone or something. I have a word for all of this injustice: equality.

• USG is lobbying OSU administrators to revise non-discrimination policies for student organizations. In his “State of the University Address,” USG President Micah Kamrass said, “We must send the message to our students that discrimination will not be tolerated and that, despite our great differences, we are all Buckeyes.” I expect USG to urge the university to lead by example.

• The term “reverse racism” should not be used because it, itself, is discriminatory. We use a different term depending on which group of people is guilty of the discrimination. Racism is racism. It does not matter in what direction it is pointing.

• I wonder how Ohio State would have responded had this study indicated that the university discriminated against blacks.

• Finally, if there is one thing you can say about racism, it is that it always finds its way into the news.

Plenty of ‘real’ diversions can distract you from class work

I always have an excuse. Every year, I am one of the millions who make a New Year’s resolution to become more fit.

It usually starts off well. Then, around mid-February, I just get really hungry one day. Next thing I know, I’m sitting on the couch watching “Tosh.0” and devouring a pizza with my trusty sidekick: my athletic fiancé who couldn’t gain a pound if he ate an entire Vegas buffet.

So, it should be no surprise that I am overweight.

And don’t give me any of that “Oh, no you aren’t” crap. It’s actually a fact.

Out of curiosity this week, I decided to calculate my body mass index. It was probably not the best thing to do for my self-confidence while drinking my morning coffee with two full spoons of sugar.

I found the calculator from a Google search, so I’m sure it’s a sophisticated mechanism.

But, it did confirm my suspicions. I am overweight.

I set a goal for myself to be in the “normal” category. This involves my losing 20 pounds.

It’s going to be hard to skip dessert.

It’s going to be tough to sweat beside others in the gym, who run much faster than me.

And it’s going to start Spring Quarter.

I’m way too busy right now, anyway.

as the other necessary causes by matching tuition dollars of their own with donors.

According to the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, there are more than a dozen schools with endowments more than $1 billion. Perhaps Yale and Emory and their sister institutions could become the leaders in the reform of higher education and access by entrusting their money over to the future: the students.

PATR ICIA CUNNINGHA M That fact alone makes me sad. cunningham.212@osu.edu We are repeatedly saying that education at the collegiate level is for the elite when people who are without cannot attend. The conversation of why the U.S. is being left behind in science and mathematics makes sense when those who might have the aptitude cannot make it to college because of finances.

So who is coming to college? Many universities are recruiting the best

What does it mean to give? What does it mean to provide opportunity and access? Throughout the history of higher education, there have been philanthropists. From Rockefeller to George Soros, there are quite a few people who gave big in the history of this nation. The discussion among higher education supporters and economists has been that the structure of funding is imbalanced and to the detriment of the future of the U.S. With all the giving that goes on with respect to institutions, I hope that we can elevate the conversation to what is necessary: access.

There is such a disparity of access to higher education and the gap keeps increasing. The future innovators, from social scientists to technology developers, will never make it to college simply because they can’t afford it. What is the point of going to middle schools and high schools and telling young people to prepare for college when there are not enough funds to support them going to attend a university?

According to the numbers from the Harvard student paper, The Crimson, in 2008, if Harvard had allocated 6 percent of its $34.6 billion endowment toward tuition, all Harvard undergraduate and graduate students could attend for free and the university would still have $1.3 billion left over in that small percentage of giving. Maybe Harvard could start a new trend and have their donors contribute toward tuition as well

and brightest from other nations. I welcome the diversity, but what are we doing to foster excellence in U.S. citizens?

The folks who can afford the tuition hikes and expensive residence halls across the country do not include the working poor class or those below the poverty line. That means that for-profit companies are doing more to help the poor than institutions of higher education when it comes to spending actual dollars.

There is a lot of theory going on at colleges but not much praxis. In other words, we talk about the poor but rarely do anything about it. I think donations and philanthropic endeavors are important and necessary. Those donations are dangerous if they are not attending to the pressing issues of access and opportunities. There are so many people in the U.S. who cannot afford food, let alone prepare to go to college.

In fact, according to the Carsey Institute, there are more than 100,000 children in rural Ohio who live in poverty.

In the conversation to address poverty, there has to be a parallel conversation to address what is happening in the Ivory Towers in our great nation. I petition to current and future donors, look not only at the potential to have your name on a building but your gesture to be invested in the future of our country, the people.

If you’ve watched the television show “Entourage,” you’re familiar with the notion of Los Angeles as a city where celebrities are like deer in your backyard. Run-ins with the rich and famous aren’t an everyday thing, but happen frequently enough that it doesn’t faze L.A. residents. For a midwestern journalism student, the reality of this was a mindblowing experience.

I was traveling to California for a press junket (an event where serious college journalists mingle with the less-professional professional journalists. Paramount pays for the whole thing so basically my journalism RYAN BOOK career is downhill from here) while reportbook.15@osu.edu ing on an upcoming release for the movie “Rango,” starring Johnny Depp. He was the keynote guest at the event so I was prepped for serious celeb-exposure.

The press conference, which featured director Gore Verbinski and actresses Isla Fisher and Abigail Breslin as well, was going as planned. Depp answered numerous gossip-based questions while the other talent sat waiting for someone to realize they were there. That’s when things got fishy.

Toward the end of the conference, there was a minor commotion in the back and there suddenly appeared a teenager proclaiming his love of Depp’s work. The actor probably deals with this sort of thing all the time, except this teenager was Justin Bieber.

We weren’t allowed to have cameras during the conference, but even if we had, I’m not sure I would’ve thought to take a picture of the duo. A blood vessel in my eye had metaphorically popped and my mouth hung halfway open.

Diabetic low blood sugar, psychosis, someone had drugged my drink. I was clearly seeing things.

Bieber and Depp continued to chat while Verbinski sat back, bemused. My journalist’s brain started to try to figure out how this was going to fit into a news story. It would read like an April Fools’ joke. The man who topped Entertainment Weekly’s “50 Most Powerful Entertainers” list in 2010 and the boy who has more Facebook fans than President Barack Obama, chatting genially in the middle of a movie press conference.

Eventually Depp gestured at the awestruck audience and explained that he

was in the middle of something. Bieber hopped 180 degrees comically, gave a quick wave and said, “Hey guys!” Several reporters responded with a monotone “Hey Justin.” Bieber left, and business continued as scheduled. What MTV would later call “celebrity encounter of the year” was no big deal for Bieber, Depp or the Paramount staff.

The staff at the Four Seasons was equally impervious to the presence of fame in its midst. In a period of maybe 10 minutes, Depp, Fisher and Cee Lo Green (it was Grammy weekend) walked past me in the lobby. None merited a second glance from the personnel.

These weren’t all of The Lantern’s celebrity encounters. The night before, I ate at the hotel’s restaurant with several of my cohorts from other papers. Sitting at the table across from us was famous/infamous porn star Ron Jeremy. Again, no one, staff or patrons, seemed to care, aside from our little group. Jeremy did clean up nicely, but he was still quite recognizable. I ticked off in my head how quickly the waitress brought his table’s drinks as I waited patiently for my own.

A quick trip down the block to the local grocery store found me in line across from Donald Faison, better known as Turk from “Scrubs.” A life-changing moment for the many “Scrubs” fanatics I know was just another day at the supermarket for the Beverly Hills clientele.

When I thought about making an op-ed on these experiences, my initial reaction was to write a clichéd piece explaining how celebrities are real people too. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the opposite was true. Celebrities aren’t real people at all.

Maybe Depp and Green can walk into a Four Seasons without being fawned over by the other guests. The key part of that sentence is the “Four Seasons.”

It’s a heck of a nice hotel. Its celebrity guests are paying exorbitant sums to be treated like everyone else. Beverly Hills residents like Faison can go to the store without harassment because the average price of a home in the area is $1,240,634 (according to hiltonhyland.com, a Beverly Hills real estate firm). The other citizens of the 90210 area are kind of big deals themselves. If Jeremy showed up at The Blackwell for dinner, you’d hear about it.

The immediate response to Bieber’s intrusion upon our press conference was that his actions were adorable. What if Ryan Book wanted to bust into a Paramount press conference and tell Johnny Depp how great he was? I would be subdued, possibly arrested, and maybe even tazed. Legality aside, Bieber was just rude. But for someone of his stature, it’s no harm, no foul.

Celebrities often complain about the downsides of fame, but I’ve seen the other side of the coin and it doesn’t look too bad.

Worth dancing: Student gets engaged via DeGeneres danielle h artman Assistant arts editor hartman.271@osu.edu This one is going to be hard to top.

“I told her not to expect anything else more exciting than this each coming Valentine’s Day,” said Sam Clark after proposing to Rachael Carl, his girlfriend of five years, with the help of comedian Ellen DeGeneres and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“I think I set the bar a little too high,” said Clark, who is a student studying early childhood education and political science at Columbus State Community College.

Carl, a fourth-year in international studies and French at Ohio State, was sitting in the Ohio Union after class with her sister Rebecca Carl, a secondyear in art history. Clark called Rachael, telling her to check “The Ellen Show’s” Twitter page. There, Rachael found a tweet.

“This is big. I’m surprising a follower w/ huge news. Watch this. That means you, Rachael Carl in Grove City, OH,” the tweet read.

A link that followed the tweet led Rachael to a personal video message from DeGeneres. “(Sam) says, ‘Will you marry me?’” DeGeneres said in the video. “How ‘bout that? Marry Sam. Sam wants to marry you and he wants you to marry him. You’ll be married to each other. I like it, being married. You’ll like it — get married.”

Clark, who remained in hiding for the video’s duration, then proposed to Rachael.

“I can’t stop shaking,” Rachael said to Clark in the video. “Are you being for real right now?”

Rebecca filmed Clark and Rachael, who answered Clark’s proposal with a “Hell yeah.” “(Sam) literally handed me the camera the night before and said, ‘Here’s the plan,’” Rebecca said. “I was shocked.”

Rebecca filmed her sister’s reaction with a “Flip” video camera “The Ellen Show” provided.

“I told (Rachael) I had a project for my communication class and I was supposed to film natural habits,” she said.

Rachael said she thought the project sounded plausible.

6A

“(Rebecca’s) a pretty good liar, apparently,” Rachael said.

Clark got DeGeneres’ help with the proposal after a visit to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” website.

“I’m a huge fan of her show and I was just messing around on her website, watching her videos and reading her blogs and stuff,” Clark said. “I came across something that said, ‘Do you want Ellen to help you with the perfect proposal?’”

Clark, who said he already had Rachael’s ring, decided to give it a try and submitted an e-mail explaining why he should be picked.

“I just got on their website and was like, ‘Why not try?’” Clark said. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. If I don’t get picked, I don’t get picked.”

Clark said he was contacted by the show about a month and a half after sending his e-mail. He said there was a lot of planning between himself and the show, which he had to hide from his girlfriend.

“Rachael had no idea,” Clark said. “I had to do a lot of sneaking around.”

The proposal, which took place on Valentine’s Day, aired last Wednesday. The video was also uploaded to “The Ellen Show’s” YouTube account.

Clark said he was a little uncomfortable knowing his proposal would air on national television. “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” averages 2.9 million viewers, according to tvbythenumbers.com.

“I’m not one of those types of people that get nervous,” Clark said. “But it was pretty cold that day and I thought it was 109 degrees out. To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement of the century.”

He said he was certain the proposal would go well.

“I wasn’t worried that she would say no; I knew she would say yes,” Clark said. “Or at least I was hoping, thinking she would say yes. Every phone conversation with ‘The Ellen Show’ would end in, ‘Are you sure she’ll say yes?’ I was like, ‘That’s the least of my worries.’”

The YouTube video has received lots of attention. “(The video) currently has 36,000 views and I’m about 34,000 of those views,” Clark said Friday.

As of Sunday night, the video, titled “Ellen Proposes — via Twitter!” has received nearly 50,000 views.

Sam Clark got help from host Ellen DeGeneres in delivering his proposal to his girlfriend, Rachael Carl.

The video was tweeted last Wednesday by the Ohio Union, which wasn’t aware of the proposal when it took place on Valentine’s Day. “Someone else tweeted the video to us and that’s how we found out about it,” said Kurtis Foriska, associate director of marketing for the Ohio Union.

Foriska, who is one of four people who run the Ohio Union’s Twitter account, tweeted the video shortly after the proposal aired on television.

“Nobody at the Union knew we were filming,” Clark said. “And I hope I’m not going to get in trouble for it.”

He shouldn’t worry.

“It’s fine. That was awesome,” Foriska said.

The couple said a wedding date has yet to be set, saying the proposal really hasn’t sunk in yet.

“People are wanting to talk about it and I don’t really know what to say because I haven’t been able to comprehend it all,” Clark said. “Even though I knew what was going on when it was happening, it all felt like a surprise to me.”

They both are grateful to DeGeneres.

“No amount of ‘thank yous’ could ever compare to what she did for us,” Clark said. “I think it’s amazing that she took two poor college students from Grove City, Ohio, and gave them this opportunity to propose via the Internet, via her.”

Which conference has the recruiting edge?

Do lower academic standards provide SEC advantage in attracting football recruits? bLaKE wILLIaMS Senior Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu The SEC has secured an upper hand in college football.

The conference has won the last five BCS National Championships and finished last season with six schools ranked in The Associated Press Top 25, one more than any other conference.

The Big Ten, which has appeared in two BCS National Championship Games, is one of the conferences vying for second billing.

The facts point to an SEC advantage on the field, and this advantage might start in the classroom.

Compared to schools the Big Ten, most SEC institutions fall short academically.

The average ranking for an SEC school is 99th. Big Ten schools come in at an average of 53rd. Michigan State, the lowest ranked school in the Big Ten, is tied for 79th nationally with the fourth-best SEC school, Alabama. The Big Ten consists of 11 universities and the SEC has 12 institutions.

Moore scored a career-high 38 points, and fueled a late first-half run to help Purdue (22-5, 11-3 Big Ten) hand the Ohio State men’s basketball team (25-2, 12-2 Big Ten) its second loss of the season, with a 76-63 win against the Buckeyes on Sunday.

After the Buckeyes played a closely contested first 15 minutes of the game, OSU coach Thad Matta found himself forced to send Sullinger and junior guard William Buford — each having picked up two fouls — to the bench.

With the Buckeyes’ top two leading scorers on the bench, Moore took over the game, single-handedly fueling a 13-5 Boilermaker run to give Purdue a 37-33 advantage into halftime.

Moore didn’t cool off in the second half, as he helped extend the Boilermaker lead to 10 points with less than four minutes remaining.

OSU showed signs of life, cutting the Boilermaker lead to four points on a Sullinger dunk with

2:34 left, but Moore put the nail in OSU’s coffin with a dagger 3-pointer on Purdue’s next possession.

Sullinger led the Buckeyes in scoring with 25 points, and senior guard Jon Diebler scored 11, including two 3-pointers to bring his total career threes to 332, breaking the previous Big Ten record 331 set by Penn State’s Pete Lisicky from 1994–98.

No. 2 OSU’s loss to Purdue completes a week in which the teams that owned the top four spots in the polls lost, as No. 1 Kansas (25-2, 10-2 Big 12), No. 3 Texas (23-4, 11-1 Big 12) and No. 4 Pittsburgh (24-3, 12-2 Big East) also suffered losses in the past seven days.

After starting the season 24-0, OSU’s loss is its second in the past three games, after the Buckeyes picked up their first loss Feb. 12 at Wisconsin.

OSU will look to bounce back when it hosts Illinois (17-10, 7-7 Big Ten) at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Schottenstein Center.

Pair of stars align to fuel on-field success TIM ShoEMaKEr Lantern reporter shoemaker.153@osu.edu Sometimes chemistry in sports is created; other times it just comes naturally.

However that connection comes about, it is necessary to be successful.

The Ohio State men’s lacrosse team has two sophomore attackers, Logan Schuss and Jeff Tundo, who have a special relationship both on and off the field.

“On the field, everything clicks,” Tundo said. “It just seems to work — there’s a chemistry there that’s kind of automatic.”

Last season, as freshmen, Schuss and Tundo were OSU’s two leading scorers. Schuss finished the 2010 campaign with 31 goals and 25 assists for 56 points, and Tundo added 20 goals and 15 assists for 35 points.

Schuss’ play in 2010 led to him being named Eastern College Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and an honorable mention All-American.

“He’s a great player. He’s one of the best players, I think, in the country,” Tundo said. “It’s just easy to play with him.”

The two display their combined talents on the field, but also became good friends when they arrived at OSU. “I usually get a ride home from practice with Jeff,” Schuss said. “We’re all about driving around with the windows down, having the sunroof open and blasting some tunes and dancing out.”

The type of music they enjoy might surprise some people.

“Right now we’re kind of in the techno stage,” Schuss said. “We’re all about the techno.”

OSU coach Nick Myers said he also noticed something special between the two almost instantly, even though they came from different areas. Schuss hails

Pair from 1B

Schuss led Buckeyes with 3 goals against North Carolina from Ladner, British Columbia, and Tundo from Orchard Park, N.Y. “They come from very different places,” Myers said, “but have immediately found chemistry with each other the moment they stepped on campus.”

In OSU’s 13-8 upset victory against No. 3-ranked North Carolina (1-1) on Saturday, Schuss and Tundo played a large role in leading the Buckeyes to their third straight victory.

Schuss led the way for OSU (3-0), scoring three goals and handing out two assists. Tundo added one goal and one assist, which was to Schuss.

Tied, 6-6, at halftime, the Buckeyes started the second half with four goals in the first 4:11. Of those goals, Tundo scored the first and Schuss scored the next two.

Tundo has 7 goals and 3 assists, and Schuss has 4 goals and 3 assists this season.

Schuss said the two do not live together but have talked about being roommates their senior year.

Apart from playing lacrosse, they spend a lot of time together. “(Schuss) loves to dance. He’s a big dancer,” Tundo said. “He’s just a really funny kid.”

Schuss said Tundo has some funny moments too, making fun of his teammates.

“He likes to mimic other guys on our team,” Schuss said. “For me, he likes to poke fun at my Canadian accent. He loves doing that.”

Whether they are on the field or off, it is not hard to see the connection the two have developed. The Buckeyes say they are hopeful Schuss and Tundo can lead the team the rest of the season.

“I think the sky is the limit for those two,” Myers said. “They’re as competitive as any of the guys on our team. They aren’t satisfied and know they can get better.”

players as they lengthen the list of available recruits and therefore directly affect on-field performance.

“What the SEC will do is several teams will sign more borderline kids. They take more chances on kids that may or may not qualify,” said Scott Kennedy, director of scouting for Scout.com. “A Big Ten team doesn’t want to have three or four borderline kids on their list.”

Steve Helwagen, staff writer for recruiting website Bucknuts.com, agreed.

“I think that that is pretty obvious that some of those (SEC) schools can get the at-risk kids,” Helwagen said. “It doesn’t take a math wizard to realize that gives them an incredible competitive advantage if they are able to pull from a larger pool of players to build their roster.”

SEC schools hauled in 73 of Rivals’ top 250 high school prospects in the 2011 class, compared to only 27 for Big Ten schools.

Despite the apparent correlation between poorer academic performance and better recruiting classes, Ohio State coaches don’t see a problem.

“I don’t think our admissions policies have hindered us at all,” quarterbacks coach Nick Siciliano said. “We try to do our best to recruit the best student-athletes we can find.”

Besides college rankings, the SEC also falls short in the Academic Progress Rate.

APR is “a term-by-term measure of eligibility and retention for Division I student-athletes that was developed as an early indicator of eventual graduation rates,” according to the NCAA website.

Big Ten schools rank 46th on average in APR, versus a 53rd-place average for SEC universities.

One SEC coach said academic deficiencies are not an advantage.

“Illinois, Ohio State, they are going to recruit the same kids that we recruit,” Auburn safeties coach Tommy Thigpen said. “All of us fall in the same line.

With the exceptions of the Stanfords and the Dukes of the world, we all go after the same kids.”

Thigpen, a Rivals 2011 top 25 recruiter, has recruited in both conferences. He was on the Illinois staff from 2003–04.

Coaches from Florida, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Tennessee declined to speak with The Lantern.

Barry Every, a national analyst for Rivals, also fails to see any advantage from academics.

“The SEC schools still have to meet the minimum standards to get into school as the Big Ten schools,”

he said. “They have the same standards as Michigan State and Michigan.”

The NCAA Division I requires a student-athlete to have a minimum of a 2.0 high school GPA and a sum ACT score of 86, averaging to a 21.5 on the 36-point scale, to be eligible, according to the organization’s website.

Though these marks are uniform across all D-I schools, individual university requirements are often much higher. For example, Michigan’s most recent freshman class averaged an ACT score between 28 and 32, according to the university’s website.

Thigpen admitted Auburn’s willingness to “hold a kid’s hand,” but said the school would not do so for an entire team of athletes.

OSU running backs coach Dick Tressel, differing from his fellow OSU assistant, Siciliano, indicated that the school’s higher academic standards help focus the staff’s recruiting.

“Early on in the process, there are so many prospects that we have directed away from (at-risk recruits) a little bit,” Tressel said. “Hey, we’ve got these higher standards so we just have some early decisions to make.”

Though the role of academics might be disputed, the idea that SEC schools gain an advantage from their location faces little opposition.

The seven states that house SEC schools produced 87 top 250 recruits in this year’s class compared to just 38 from the seven states representing the Big Ten. As recruits are added to the list, the disparity becomes further magnified.

“It’s just where they are located,” Every said.

“Approximately 2,500 high school players a year sign D-I; 500 of them are coming from two states (Florida and Georgia) from the Southeast.”

SEC coaches have taken notice.

“For us,” Thigpen said, “the pool is bigger of skilled athletes.”

Location aside, academics do seem to play a factor. The top-five-ranked schools in the SEC and Big Ten (Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State), as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, secured only 12 top 250 recruits.

The top two schools, Vanderbilt and Northwestern, did not manage one.

Though it might not be the biggest point of emphasis, the willingness and ability of the schools in the SEC to recruit student-athletes with lower academic results might help them on the field.

“The standards are almost exactly the same for everyone,” Kennedy said. “The leniency of the schools to sign those players and wait for them to see if they will get in is a little more lenient in the south.”

sports 6-time Big Ten Coach of the Year notches 300th win no ah brown Lantern reporter brown.2954@osu.edu Ohio State men’s tennis coach Ty Tucker earned his 300th win Feb. 12 against LSU, becoming only the second coach in Buckeye men’s tennis history to reach this mark.

Tucker has a career record of 303-51 and only his predecessor, John Daly, has earned more wins, going 427-333 in 28 seasons from 1972–99. Tucker has averaged 26.5 wins in 11 seasons and his .856 winning percentage is the highest in OSU history.

“I feel lucky to be at Ohio State,” Tucker said. “There’s an athletic department that supports all their coaches and all their sports and gives you budgets to go out there and help these kids chase their dreams of getting better and playing at the highest level.”

Tucker’s team has finished atop the Big Ten five straight years. He has been Big Ten Coach of the Year six times.

Tucker has coached nine All-Americans and has led his team to five NCAA quarterfinals appearances.

Tucker attributes his success to good players and a good coaching staff. Two members who make up his current staff are David Schilling, volunteer assistant coach for 12 years, and Justin Kronauge, an assistant coach in his first year.

“The most important thing that people need to understand about how he has gotten to 300 wins so quickly is he just absolutely puts in the work,” Schilling said. “There’s not a harder working coach in college

In 2004, Tucker was inducted into the OSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Tucker has put a fence around Ohio, getting the best talent from the state, but also some of the top talents in the world.

“He’s done an unbelievable job developing talent,” Kronauge said.

“Over the 12 years he’s been at Ohio State, he’s taken guys and brought their games up a couple levels to play the best competition in college tennis.”

Practice is a huge emphasis for Tucker and the coaching staff.

“I don’t think people would know how tough the practices are,” Kronauge said. “There’s a lot more than meets the eye.”

However, Tucker enjoys practice, which is one of the reasons he became a coach.

“If you like practicing and being around younger guys and trying to help guys get better,” Tucker said, “then college tennis is the ideal job for you.”

Although the 300 wins are meaningful, the staff does not have time to dwell on the accomplishment. It will continue to pursue its goals for a Big Ten title and an NCAA Championship this year.

“We don’t spend a lot of time looking back,” Schilling said. “There’s not a lot of time to look backwards. It’s a pretty forward-thinking staff.

We’re more concerned about what we have to do to take that next step in the future.”

The Buckeyes are ranked No. 4 in the country and are currently 11-0.

tennis. He does it in the things that coaches don’t like to do and it’s on the recruiting front and on the practice court. He puts in those hours and it pays off with his success and in our success.”

Tucker demands a lot from his players, and this comes with sacrifice.

They must practice 11 months a year to get better and chase their dreams.

“Tucker always says, ‘Tennis has got to be a year-round passion for these guys,’” Schilling said.

Many college tennis programs take summers off, but Tucker’s work ethic and passion for the game has created a trickle-down effect.

“We’ve been able to recruit kids that have dreams of playing at the next level and being as good as they can be,” Tucker said. “We’re just looking for student-athletes who want to overachieve on the court.”

Tucker, an OSU alumnus, was the No. 1 singles player for the Buckeyes from 1989–91, leaving after his junior year for the professional circuit, where he achieved a world ranking of 273 and 35 in the U.S. He competed against elite competition throughout his tennis career, facing world-renowned talents, including Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.

“He was a great player himself, and he’s shown that he can develop talent and he gets the best out of the guys everyday at practice,” Kronauge said.

Tucker finished his anthropology degree at OSU in 1998 before becoming an assistant for two years for the Buckeyes.

“I just wanted to be at Ohio State,” Tucker said. “It’s the only place I wanted to be.

“Maybe if I win a national title someday I’ll be a curator somewhere,” he said, jokingly.
