South Campus dorms, a demolished lot between Woodruff and 19th Avenues, Sullivant Hall, the RPAC and Hopkins Hall are some of the larger construction projects happening at Ohio State. Some students hate it, some deal with it and some look forward to the change.

For President E. Gordon Gee, the billions of dollars worth of construction on campus are part of the bigger picture of OSU’s future.

“We have more construction than we possibly could imagine,” Gee told The Lantern editorial staff on Feb. 6. “More than $2 billion worth, I can’t get around, but I always remind you that you never want to be at a place (that doesn’t have) a lot of cranes.”

Cranes, fences and construction trailers are not hard to find on campus. Students like Allison Caudill, a fourth-year in nursing, said the ever-present construction sites have become the norm.

“Construction has been here since I was a freshman,” Caudill said.

“And I feel like it’s always going to be around.”

The largest project under construction, other than expansion of the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University, is the high rise renovation of the South Campus dorms, said Ken Wayman, the senior director of design and construction for OSU’s Facilities Operations and Development (FOD). The current phase of this $172 million project is renovating Park Hall and Stradley Hall.

Rachel Dimond, a second-year in psychology who works in Smith Hall, said the construction is hurting the university’s image in the short term.

“It’s very frustrating,” Dimond said. “I just feel like it takes away from

While memes might not be a new trend, college-specific memes are sweeping Facebook pages across the country.

“Oh you’re writing an article about memes? …

Please, tell me more about this ‘new trend.’”

A social media trend known as “memes” has been around for a while, but now the popularity is spreading through Facebook pages of college students around the country.

Ohio State is no exception, as there is now a Facebook page that participates in this fad.

Richard Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist, first coined the term “meme” in 1976. MerriamWebster dictionary defines is as “an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.”

The memes that are being shared through the social networking site encompass a photo, usually

Organization combats OSU’s low rankings in graduate stipends Justin Conley Asst. arts editor conley.325@osu.edu While Ohio State’s competitiveness might usually be measured in football and basketball rankings, the Council of Graduate Students has been pushing to pull OSU up from the bottom of the pack in an area away from the scoreboard.

In July 2011, the CGS unanimously passed a resolution, which included the proposal for an annual review of graduate stipends, that will compare the amount OSU gives to graduate associates with those amounts given by other benchmark institutions. In a presentation based on the 2010-2011 academic year, the Graduate Associate Compensation and Benefits Committee compared graduate stipends at OSU to several universities, including Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin.

“We looked OK at the upper end of the scale and even in the middle,” said Daphne Pringle, chair of the GCBC. “But it was those people that were getting paid the minimum that we thought was really important.

“Our minimum was … quite a bit

lower than most other minimums,” Pringle said.

Of the nine schools included in the presentation, OSU ranked at the bottom in minimum stipends paid to graduate research assistants and second-to-last in minimum stipends paid to graduate teaching assistants and graduate administrative assistants. OSU fared similarly in median stipends paid to graduate associates, according to the presentation.

“We highlighted a problem last year,” said Vijay Gadepally, president of the CGS. “We’re happy with the way the administration is moving forward.”

Gadepally said the annual review will begin this summer with the hope of addressing two factors that will measure OSU’s competitiveness: a livable minimum stipend and a good median.

“The median is what recruits students,” Gadepally said.

In the 2010-11 academic year, the median stipends for graduate associates sat at $16,000 for research assistants, $14,900 for teaching assistants and $11,800 for graduate administrative assistants, Pringle said.

one of a well-known pop culture icon, and a clever phrase to accompany it.

Sarah Storer is the senior content marketing strategist for The Karcher Group, a social media management company based in North Canton, Ohio. She said she believes the simple form of this sensation contributes to such high interest in creating memes.

“Part of what makes memes so popular is that they are usually entertaining and easy to replicate,” Storer said. “It’s like we ask ourselves, ‘How am I going to see this again, but differently?’ And in some ways, young adults identify with it more because they’re willing to take more risks to take the imitation and replication to the next level of funny or extreme.”

Consulting for compliance redesign costs roughly $507K Thomas Bradley Campus editor bradley.321@osu.edu Ohio State’s Board of Trustees have said since July there was a need for a review of university-wide compliance, and it came at a price of more than $500,000.

The Audit and Compliance Committee hired two outside consultants for a review of the compliance of the university. The committee hired Protiviti, a business-consulting firm from Menlo Park, Calif., for $226,950, according to the Office of Business and Finance.

The committee also hired a New York-based law firm, Dewey and LeBoeuf. Leslie Flesch, associate vice president in the Office of Business and Finance said the invoices were not yet processed, but payment is expected to be $280,000.

Through months of an internal review, advising, research and roughly $507,000, the idea for the Office of University Compliance and Integrity was created.

Geoff Chatas, the university’s chief financial officer, said the original plan was to hire one consulting firm for the project, but upon further review, the decision was made to hire two firms.

Geoff Chatas

“It became quite clear when we looked at the task at hand — which is looking at the organization of compliance, the process of compliance and then the legal process around compliance — that we needed two areas of expertise,” Chatas said at a September Board of Trustees meeting.

Chatas said both firms had experience in the areas they needed.

The OUCI will cover universitywide compliance including athletic compliance, medical compliance, research compliance and financial aid compliance.

OSU email encourages students to take shots at drinking, celebrating safely Amanda Pierce Lantern reporter pierce.343@osu.edu If you’re turning 21, you’ve probably gotten your new driver’s license and made plans with friends to take your first legal drink at midnight. If you’re an Ohio State student turning 21, you’ve also gotten a birthday wish from the university.

More than a light-hearted birthday wish, the email the Student Wellness Center sends to students before their 21st birthdays warns against the dangers of going overboard with drinking.

Amanda Blake, wellness coordinator at the Student Wellness Center, said the message is sent out to all enrolled students to let them know the university is worried about their health and safety.

Though the email tells students the information is not supposed to be a “buzz kill,” it specifically warns against participating in traditions like taking 21 shots.

“Celebrate, but do not feel like you have to take 21 shots or drink to the extreme,” the email reads.

“You need to turn 22 next year!”

Andy Burrow, a third-year in accounting, turned 21 on Feb. 12 and said the email didn’t affect his plans.

“I guess I know my limit already, and I knew I was never going to try to push myself to have 21 shots or something crazy,” Burrow said.

Setting a limit and counting your drinks is key for a safe and fun celebration, Blake said.

Included in the birthday email is a chart that shows how blood alcohol content levels change for men and women as they drink.

Taking 21 shots in 4.5 hours would make an average man’s BAC rise to 0.4 percent while an average woman’s would climb to 0.65 percent, according to the email. Death can occur at a BAC of 0.3 percent.

Burrow said he found the email “sort of comical,” but knows it is important to set limits and stick to them.

“Your 21st birthday should be fun,” Burrow said. “But obviously I think people realize there is major consequences and they come about if you don’t know your limit and go overboard.”

Sara Santiago, a third-year in psychology, said she doesn’t think that students take the email seriously. ”They see (the emails) as a joke most of the time,” Santiago said. “They think it’s just another

way for the university to try and cover themselves in case anything happens.”

Santiago, who turns 21 on March 21, is planning a low-key celebration at home during spring break because getting wasted “is just not my style,” she said.

“I’ll probably drink a margarita with my mom and call it a day,” Santiago said.

Though Santiago isn’t planning on going overboard, she said the email won’t stop those who are.

“The email doesn’t prevent or cause anything to happen,” Santiago said. “If they’re going to go hard, they’re going to go hard.”

Competitive pay can help bring in more research funds.

Increasing the funding for graduate associates might cost more up front, but it will save the university money overall, Pringle said.

“In the long run, you’re probably saving money off … having (graduate students) teach a course or having them work in the lab as compared to paying a full-time lab assistant,” Pringle said.

Getting better scholars with more competitive stipends can also bring the university more money for research, Pringle said.

“You have great graduate students, you’re going to do great research and you’re going to get more research dollars from the federal funding institutions.”

At minimum, Pringle said she wants the annual review to bring OSU up to speed with other universities.

“We would like to be at least at the median of our peer institutions so you can look around and say, ‘I’m paid fairly,’” she said.

ally marotti marotti.5@osu.edu Passion.

In the past week, three journalists have died while on assignment in Syria.

But they weren’t just reporting the news. They were following their passions. They were trying to tell the world about what is really happening in Syria.

Many journalists have been banned from entering Syria, so most of those who somehow manage to get in are there illegally and at great peril.

Anthony Shadid, 43, the New York Times reporter who died Feb. 16 in Syria, suffered an asthma attack triggered by the horse he was riding on across the border.

Marie Colvin, 55, a correspondent for The Sunday Times of London, and Rémi Ochlik, a French photographer in his late 20s, were killed Wednesday after shells and rockets struck the house in which they were staying in Homs, Syria, according to reports. They were two of the few Western journalists in the country.

With these tragedies, more than just the reporter dies.

Without journalists on the ground, how will these stories be told? The day before she died, Colvin voiced concerns that her stories weren’t reaching the greatest amount of people possible.

She said she was frustrated with readers at home feeling too distant from stories being reported from different areas of the globe. And just days before her death, she had a fellow journalist help her break

her news organization’s rules to publish her work outside of pay walls, risking her job, so even people who weren’t subscribed to The Sunday Times of London could know what was going on.

Shadid, with years of experience in the Middle East, was tied to the people there. He had the conviction to tell the stories of those innocently caught in the grips of war. Colvin, a veteran war correspondent, saw a baby die a few days before her death, and didn’t want that baby’s death to be in vain.

Journalism is very much a field of service. Journalists are overworked and underpaid. It certainly isn’t a field you pursue for fame and fortune. It’s satisfying to see your name on a story, but sadly enough, stories are often forgotten the next day, and the bylines of those stories are almost never remembered. But when you have a passion for storytelling, for letting the world know the truth, it doesn’t matter.

Marie Colvin

As student journalists, we make sacrifices in the pursuit of our passion. We sacrifice our sleep, our social life, our time to tell the more than 60,000 students at Ohio State what’s really going on on-campus, and we love it.

In a story The Lantern published last week about John Glenn, he said he believes that everyone should have something to do that day they are excited about when they wake up.

Along with the proposal for annual review of graduate stipends, the CGS also voted to raise the minimum stipend for graduate associates to $10,500 from the previous $9,000. While the about 16 percent increase is a step in the right direction for Zach Kenitzer, a graduate teaching assistant in the Knowlton School of Architecture, he said there is more to be done.

Kenitzer is paid the minimum stipend: $10,500 over a nine month period. He said his take-home pay comes out to about $900 a month over the school year.

“Ohio State gets a bargain.” Kenitzer said.

“It’s not easy to make ends meet off just that stipend.”

Kenitzer said many graduate associates might be tempted to pick up off-campus jobs to supplement their income, but their responsibilities in class and work often add up to 60 hours a week — leaving no time for other work.

“It’s a lot of pressure,” Kenitzer said.

Better stipends for graduate associates is not just a high hope for Kenitzer, it is a requirement if OSU is going to be a successful university.

“The university should be trying as hard as it can to move stipends for graduate students higher,”

Rémi Ochlik

I wake up excited to go to work, to uncover a story, to deliver the news, to write.

I realize when I wake up, sometimes after only a few hours of sleep, that I’m extremely blessed to have that excitement, and I’m willing to make sacrifices to do what I love.

But would I die for my passion?

History is riddled with extreme journalists, whose everyday work makes it obvious they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their passion. Shadid was among four journalists held captive by Muammar Gaddafi’s forces in Libya for about a week last March while covering the Arab Spring conflicts. Colvin wore an eye patch after losing an eye while covering fighting in Sri Lanka.

There are obviously many different levels of journalism, and not everyone needs to risk their life for it, but the examples these journalists set in the pursuit of truth and what they believe is right is beyond inspirational.

Everyone makes sacrifices to do what they love. And these journalists who have made the ultimate sacrifice will always be an inspiration to me. Words are powerful, but the examples they set as journalists and human beings are even more powerful.

The stories they told and the legacies they left lay the groundwork to change the world.

Kenitzer said. “And furthermore, they have the ability to do so. And if they want to make this a great university … that is one of the steps that will be necessary.”

Memes can be created by anyone to say anything.

University of California, Los Angeles all began creating and sharing memes specifically designed for university peers.

Storer said the craze has captured the attention of this particular audience because it’s a way to identify with the culture of its campus “Memes on college and university campuses are about identity and connection. They’re easy ways for people who may not know each other, but identify with the culture they’re in and that culture’s many idiosyncrasies, to connect,” Storer said.

With 8,564 ‘likes’ on Facebook, the OSU page features memes of characters such as Willy Wonka, Harry Potter and Simba from “The Lion King,” with topics ranging from the Michigan rivalry to on-campus dining.

Memes can be created from templates like the Socially Awkward Penguin, the Annoying Facebook Girl, the Philosoraptor, Scumbag Steve, the College Freshman and the Lazy College Senior.

The information on the Facebook page gives specific instructions to students wishing to

“Protiviti has actually worked in higher education extensively. It has higher education practice and they have actually been working in helping us in our financial aid compliance,” Chatas said. “Dewey, similarly, has had significant experience in the legal process of compliance … the experience they both had in the areas of health care, the student financial aid side, of research, and then of athletics, these two firms had the partners who had the experience in those areas quite strongly.”

Bud Ellis, a partner in the law firm Dewey and LeBoeuf, said at the February Board of Trustees meeting that one chief compliance and integrity officer will head the OUCI. “(The chief officer) would have direct reporting to senior leadership at the university, in particular you have direct reporting to this (Audit and Compliance) Committee,” Ellis said. “It would have, on a day-today basis, dual reporting to the Office of Business and Finance and Legal Affairs.”

Ellis said the office would retain personnel and hire additional staff. When the office is created, additional resources will incur more costs for the project.

“The existing compliance personnel and some additional staff would report to the chief compliance and integrity officer,” Ellis said. “This would ensure direct reporting and clear lines of communication.”

President E. Gordon Gee said the athletic

Brian Desmond, a third-year in international studies, said these types of construction projects are necessary for the university.

“Some of the buildings on campus are really old so the new renovations are nice,” Desmond said.

“The construction hasn’t really gotten in my way at all.”

Some buildings like Sullivant Hall, which is under construction, are outdated but considered historical, so renovation is preferred to demolition.

Construction in Sullivant will cost $26 million and will see completion in fall 2013, Wayman said, and will once again house the Department of Dance and the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. In the meantime, the Department of Dance will be operating out of Pomerene Hall.

Also in progress on campus is the construction on the north side of the RPAC, which is the steam and condensation project, now in phase two of replacing steam lines from McCraken Power Plant to the medical center and other areas of campus, which will be completed in summer 2013.

Hopkins Hall is in its final stretch of mechanical renovations, and should be wrapped up in fall.

Whether students are as enthusiastic about construction as Gee or can’t wait to get out of the rubble, construction will follow.

“They have to expand, so I understand,” Caudill said. “But I feel like they have to stop at some point.

They keep finding ways to fit more people in.”

participate in the phenomenon, stating “the meme must not just be college related but specific to the workings, ideas and physical surroundings of Ohio State.”

Hannah Brokenshire, a second-year in French, said she first discovered the page when a roommate created her own meme and regularly checks it on her own for amusement.

She said she believes the success of the recent fad could be due to a common bond between the students.

“They’re probably so popular because people like to see that they have the same kind of experiences as everyone else. So if something is funny that happens to you all of the time or if it’s something that annoys you like a pet peeve, I think it’s funny to see that in a form that everyone kind of recognizes especially because a lot of them are really true,” Brokenshire said.

Ricardo Renta, a third-year in computer and information science, also said he thought the spread of the memes could be attributed to their OSU-specific theme.

“So many people can relate to it because we’re all on the same campus. I know other universities have the same thing,” Renta said.

The Lantern was unable to identify and contact the creator(s) of the OSU meme Facebook page.

compliance issues were the most public, but the university is most vulnerable with medical compliance.

“The biggest vulnerability that we have with compliance is in our hospitals,” Gee told The Lantern on Feb. 6. “The compliance in athletics is more public perception. If you spend a certain amount of your budget on athletics and it gets 90 percent of the airtime. So it’s a perception that you want to get that right … The notion of having a centralized compliance system is that we have a filter that is constantly looking at our overall compliance.”

Although the need for the OUCI was in response to a public failure in athletic compliance involving former coach Jim Tressel playing ineligible players, the office will deal with university-wide compliance issues.

Audit and Compliance Committee chairman Robert Schottenstein said in a July meeting this was an opportunity to improve on all levels of compliance.

“This process, which we fully embrace as an opportunity to get better, was actually triggered by the problems in our football program that first surfaced late (2010),” Schottenstein said.

Wayman said the current phase of the South High Rise renovation is set to be completed by Fall Semester. The next phase will consist of Smith, Steeb and Siebert Halls, and should be completed

by Fall Semester 2013.

Another significant construction project, which is estimated to cost $126 million, will be constructed on the site of four recently demolished buildings between Woodruff Avenue and 19th Avenue, Wayman said.

“We have demolished Boyd Lab, Johnston Lab, Aviation (Building) and Haskett Hall, and will begin construction on the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry building (CBEC),” Wayman said.

The CBEC will be a laboratory building that will become home to the departments of chemical engineering and chemistry. Over the past few years, the occupants of the demolished buildings have all been relocated to other buildings on campus.

Wayman said construction on CBEC will start in June and should be finished by the end of 2014.

The 84th Academy Awards are scheduled to air at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC. The Lantern predicts who will take home Oscars in the major categories, and who should win in those categories.

“The Artist” is a shoo-in to win Best Picture at this point after sweeping the award at virtually every award ceremony thus far. It will win simply for being different, which does not necessarily a Best Picture winner make. “Tree of Life” would be a far more interesting choice to take home top honors.

Best Director Michel Hazanavicius, “The Artist” Alexander Payne, “The Descendants” Martin Scorsese, “Hugo” Terrence Malick, “Tree of Life” Woody Allen, “Midnight in Paris” Despite its flaws, “The Tree of Life” was a whimsical, beautiful-looking magnum opus from Malick. “The Artist,” however, is still the overwhelming favorite to win in virtually every major category.

“The Help” is the dictionary definition of Oscar bait, so it should be no surprise when Davis is presented this Oscar. Shame, because anyone who’s seen what lengths Mara went to in “Dragon Tattoo” should understand why she deserves the trophy here.

Best Supporting Actor Kenneth Branagh, “My Week With Marilyn” Christopher Plummer, “Beginners” Max von Sydow, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” Nick Nolte, “Warrior” Jonah Hill, “Moneyball” Plummer took home honors Screen Actors Guild awards and Golden Globes in this category so far, so it’s his trophy to lose. That said, the fact that I never thought I’d consider Hill for an Oscar pre-“Moneyball” makes him my horse in this race.

Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer, “The Help” Bérénice Bejo, “The Artist” Jessica Chastain, “The Help” Melissa McCarthy, “Bridesmaids” Janet McTeer, “Albert Nobbs” There’s no stopping “The Help” in the acting categories. That said, “Bridesmaids” was one of my most pleasant surprises of 2011, and watching McCarthy fart and burp her way to an Oscar is the kind of stuff that could reinvigorate a flogging, stuffy ceremony.

Best Original Screenplay “The Artist” “Bridesmaids” “Midnight in Paris” “Margin Call” “A Separation” “Midnight in Paris” was a fun and charming film that got pretty much everything right, and Woody Allen’s script will be rewarded as such. If “The Artist” wins here, however, I might just have an aneurysm.

Best Adapted Screenplay “The Descendants” “Hugo” “The Ides of March” “Moneyball” “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” “The Descendants” is the favorite after winning the Writers Guild award, though “Moneyball,” a fascinating look into the sabermetrics movement in baseball, would get my vote.

Best Animated Feature “A Cat in Paris” “Chico & Rita” “Rango” “Kung Fu Panda 2” “Puss in Boots” “Rango” should thank consistent-heavyweights Pixar for releasing a dud (“Cars 2”) this year, making it the runaway favorite here.

Alpine Ghost finds life in dynamic sound BIANCA BRIGGS Lantern reporter briggs.243@osu.edu A live band that sounds just like the its album becomes stale and trite.

Live shows are an opportunity for experimentation and The Alpine Ghost leaves this door propped open at all times, not just for live performances.

The members of The Alpine Ghost might describe their genre as “indie-jazz rock,” but they also said that doesn’t mean much.

The Alpine Ghost is made up of four former or current Ohio State jazz students: saxophonist Jack Menkedick, guitarist Andrew Sais, bassist and fourth-year in jazz studies Alex Jewell, and Paul.

Just more than a year ago, the ensemble came together to perform for a wedding set in a wooded area.

The environment of their first gig and the way the group’s music is constantly changing inspired the band’s name.

“These songs that we perform at a given time are snapshots, they’re silhouettes, they’re shadows of the actual entity or creature that we think we are shaping with some sort of music,“ Paul said.

“It’s not as mystic as that sounds, but the idea is the shadow of something that is changing,” Menkedick said.

The band released a new EP on Jan. 1, “Silhouettes.” The EP includes three new songs and two new versions of their older songs.

Menkedick said it has been a very long process.

“When you hear one of our songs, you’re going to hear that version, and we’re constantly making changes to them,” Menkedick said. “So the next time you hear any set song of ours, it’s probably going to have a different feel in the bridge or a different section in general. … It’s really based in improvisation. We’re all jazz majors so we’re open to change.”

“We were going to call it ‘Transformers,’ but I guess that’s copyrighted or something,” Sais said.

Though the group’s explanations of the band name and album title sound a bit heavy, they pride themselves on their playful interaction on stage.

“We do a lot of different stuff, but it still has that same feel of it’s the same band doing it,” Sais said.

Local indie-jazz rock group The Alpine Ghost is made up of 4 current and former OSU students.

The band writes and rewrites songs together, and they are often all involved.

“It’s a really good dynamic because we’re all super comfortable saying stuff sucks, frankly,” Menkedick said.

One reason the band’s songs change so frequently is because someone wants to make it better. Sometimes, it just takes a comment like, “We need a good opener,” to get the gears rolling.

“It’s actually like the most collaborative I’ve ever done of anything because our total song writing process,” Sais said. “We don’t have a set songwriting process.”

Menkedick said some of the songs have taken years to craft.

Though their first performance as The Alpine

Ghost was at a wedding, the band has played many venues in the Columbus area.

Paul said venues such as Scarlet and Grey Cafe are great for new musicians.

“Dude, God bless Scarlet and Grey,” Menkedick said. “Because sometimes people down on it or whatever, but it’s such a useful tool for musicians. I love them, honestly.”

Improvisation is one of the tenets of the band’s music and that might set them apart from other bands in the community.

“What we do is a little bit more outside what’s normal and what’s really popular in the Columbus music scene right now,” Sais said.

[ a +e ] ‘Buck-Idol’: OSU talent show showcases the Buckeyes’ best dancers, singers Caitlyn Wasmundt Lantern reporter wasmundt.1@osu.edu Girls might run the world, but boys win at talent shows.

The Buckeye Showcase featured students competing to be No. 1 from judges and audience members Tuesday in the Ohio Union Performance Hall.

The talent varied from beatboxers to opera singers, baton twirlers to magicians, and even hip hop dancers.

Students showed off their skills to an audience of more than 150 people. At the end of the show, audience members were told to text their favorite act to win the Fan Favorite Award. Three judges also decided who would win cash prizes by selecting the top three performances.

First place from the judges went to Buck That! an all-male a cappella group, who performed “It’s Gonna Be Me” by ‘N Sync, along with “Poison” by Bell Biv DaVoe. The members of Buck That! said their winnings

would go toward their trip to perform in the quarterfinals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella competition at 8 p.m. Saturday at Kettering High School.

Justine Appiah-Danquah, a third-year in communications, said Buck That! impressed her the most.

“The crowd was hard to please and they got them interested,” Appiah-Danquah said.

The fan favorite vote went to The OSU Freestyle Rap and BeatBox Club. The members played “FlatBill Flow” by passing a hat down and selecting different topics to rap about as two others beatboxed.

The topics ranged from Victoria’s Secret to Lunchables. Each rap had a twist of comedy thrown in, with lines such as, “These ladies run away like I’m bathing in Mirror Lake.”

Jordan Arbaugh, a second-year in exploration, said she voted for the rapping and beatbox crew.

“It was just really clever,” Arbaugh said. The whole show was put together well with a lot of talent, she said.

There were highs and lows at the show.

Colorado-based duo Big Gigantic is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 23 at Newport Music Hall.

Thursday February 23, 2012

What do heavy electronic beats, big bass, live drumming and a solo saxophone have in common?

They are all featured in the music of up-and-coming Colorado-based duo Big Gigantic.

Big Gigantic has been touring in support of its newest album, “Nocturnal,” which was released in January. The group will be performing at Newport Music Hall at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Paper Diamond will be opening.

While typical electronic concerts tend to consist of a producer behind a table turning knobs and clicking buttons on a computer while standing in front of an effects screen, Big Gigantic offers a different experience.

Producer Dominic Lalli switches back and forth between dropping paralyzing bass lines and delivering smooth and funky saxophone melodies, while

drummer Jeremy Salken’s intensity adds energy to the performances.

“We’re still trying to be somewhere in between the DJ and live-band experience,” Lalli said.

Big Gigantic takes full advantage of its unusual instrumentation.

“The way that we have the music set up, a lot of stuff is improvised,” Salken said. “So we have the jam-band aspect of improvisation, building a solo, and things like that. But we also have the DJ-producer side of beats, and heavy tracks and more dance music.”

In 2008, Salken and Lalli were each performing in different funk groups in Boulder, Colo. When they were not performing, they were attending the electronic concerts of Colorado’s growing music scene. They soon decided to combine their funk and jazz skills with electronic music. The final product was Big Gigantic.

Since then, the group had been refining its sound

Opera singer tried to woo way into crowd’s hearts as several twirlers dropped their batons during their routine.

Other performances included opera singer, Wladimiro Villarroel, who tried to woo his way into the hearts of those watching him, and dances that ranged from hip-hop to Bollywood.

Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls)” song was the most popular with performers.

Two of the dance groups incorporated it into their mixes.

The all-female hip-hop dance crew Stylez, and the OSU Nashaa, a co-ed group who blended elements of hip-hop with Bollywood together, gave their opinion of who is in charge of the world.

Magicians and solo artists also occupied the stage. Drew Murray turned scarves into doves and doves into balloons during his five-minute act.

Performing her own original song, “One too Many Winters,” Devra Laserson took home second place from the judges.

Hearing band live is better than hearing recordings, Jewell said Because the band experiments with different styles and sounds, it doesn’t have trouble fitting more than one mold.

“It’s fun because our band within the Columbus music scene can kind of hop around because we have all of those different influences, a lot from the Columbus music scene, frankly,” Menkedick said.

Each venue affects the bands’ personality.

“We treat our songs very differently in different venues,” Paul said. “If … it’s smaller, we have a completely different style and approach to our songs as opposed to when we’re miked to hell.

Every time you see us depending on what venue it is, we’re going to tailor it to what works best for us to perform.”

The band said it prefers the intimacy of smaller venues.

“I think our on-stage atmosphere, though, is definitely more together on the smaller venues,” Jewell said.

When the venues are smaller, the crowd gets “an underthe-hood look,” Paul said.

My

First 4

shows on tour were sold out

This dynamic is less present in larger locations.

“Very small venues, you get to see us interact,” Paul said.

“There’s a lot of back and forth that’s not rehearsed. There’s a lot of making fun of each other. There’s a lot of assaulting each other in fun ways. It’s more than involved in the sounds that we’re playing. There’s an involvement in how we’re interacting on stage and when you can see that, when you can hear that we’re talking during a section just to know where we’re going. It adds a different dynamic.”

Hearing the band live is better than listening to their recordings, Jewell said.

“If someone’s never heard us before, I think that they should hear us live as opposed to just listening to the CD,” Jewell said.

Though improvisation is part of The Alpine Ghost’s essence, the songs the band plays and the way it plays them are thought out.

“You’re never feeling like people are just throwing this down,” Menkedick said.

The Alpine Ghost is scheduled to perform alongside Miracles of Modern Science 9 p.m. March 7 at the Brother’s Drake Meadery. Admission is free.

as well as its live performances. This hard work has paid off, as the first four shows on the Nocturnal Tour have been sold-out, as have other shows since.

“We’ve developed musically and as a band,” Lalli said. “I think our purpose is still the same, it’s just that the music has moved along a little bit further — it’s a little bit better produced in terms of we’re better producers now.”

The tour also features a new stage setup, which consists of two large beehivelike structures covered in LED lights.

During the show, the members of the band are situated within the structures.

“There’s all this new activity going on,” Salken said. “We’ve got the new album, we’ve got the new set and we’ve got a new tour. We have a bunch of festivals coming up this summer that we’re really psyched about. Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Electric Forest and a bunch of other stuff that hasn’t quite been announced yet.”

Taylor Snyder, a first-year in biology, said she enjoyed the range of talent that was displayed.

Buck That! might have taken first place, but they weren’t the only a cappella group with an OSU-themed name that performed in the talent show.

Scarlet Fever also showed off its a cappella and beatboxing skills. The scarlet-and-black-clad group presented a Michael Jackson mashup, mixing “I’ll Be There,” “Man in the Mirror,” “Billy Jean” and more.

Other talents included rock band The Backup Plan, who performed a garage band-style version of Rihanna’s song “Umbrella,” and solo artists Eric Billman and Hannah Meagan. Dance crew Dance Linx also appeared.

Eighth Floor Improv members interacted with the audience as they acted as MCs in between each set.

Amber Reynolds, a fourth-year in dietetics, said Big Gigantic is one of her favorite musical acts.

“I love when he plays the saxophone,” Reynolds said. “I’ve seen them so many times, and it’s always a great time. I’m pretty pumped to rage my face off.”

Stephanie Riedl, a fourth-year in marketing, will also be attending the concert.

“I’m expecting a pretty big crowd if it’s not sold out,” Reidl said. “I like that its electronic dance music, but that it still incorporates cool instrumentals.”

This hybrid musical style allows Big Gigantic to deliver the excitement of a rock concert with the soundscapes that can only be produced in electronic music.

“A huge part of it for us is the live experience,” Salken said. “That’s why we’re doing it. We love playing live music, and we want people to come out and share that experience with us.”

Following the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s 56-51 loss against Michigan Saturday, sophomore guard Aaron Craft noticed something about senior guard William Buford, who had his worst game of the season with six points on 3-of-12 shooting.

“You can sense a little bit more sense of urgency with him. I think he understands he has 80 minutes left in this gym, and that’s definitely eye-opening for him,” Craft said.

The lone senior on the OSU roster, Buford had two home games, or 80 minutes, remaining as a Buckeye entering Tuesday night’s game against Illinois. He put the first 40 of those minutes to good use, tallying 17 points and shooting 7-of-9 from the floor as the Buckeyes dismantled the Fighting Illini, 83-67.

Buford said he didn’t dwell on his disappointing performance against the Wolverines.

“I just tried to come in and not make the same mistakes that I did last time,” Buford said. “(Tuesday) we were getting easy shots and we were able to knock them down. My bigs were screening great for me, we had a great pace to us today and we were just getting great shots.”

Coach Thad Matta said he talked to Buford about focusing on his shot selection.

“Just have a gauge in your mind of what’s a good one and what’s a great one,” Matta said.

Buford has shown the ability to bounce back from tough shooting outings before. After going 4-of-15 at Wisconsin on Feb. 4, Buford recorded a 10-of-17 performance Feb. 7 against Purdue. He shot 10-of-17 at Minnesota on Feb. 14 after shooting a dismal 2-of-12 three days earlier in a home loss to Michigan State.

As he prepares for his final 40 home minutes of basketball as a Buckeye this Sunday against Wisconsin, Buford plans to maintain that level of

performance and cement an already-growing legacy at OSU. Tuesday’s victory was No. 108 for Buford in his career as a Buckeye, and with three more wins he will move into second place all-time in OSU history behind David Lighty, who recorded 129 victories with the Buckeyes from 2007-2011.

Buford now has 1,846 career points, ranking sixth in OSU history. As long as he stays healthy, Buford should have little trouble cracking the top 4 by season’s end, and it’s even possible he could challenge Dennis Hopson’s school record of 2,096 points.

A championship game berth in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments would result in 13 more games for the Buckeyes, meaning Buford would need to average just less than 20 points per game the rest of the season to overtake Hopson. Buford’s season average is 15.1 points.

With the Buckeyes a lock to make the national tournament, Buford will become the only player in OSU history to play in the NCAA Tournament four years in a row. Brian Brown, Will Dudley and Boban Savovic accomplished the feat from 1998-2002, but all tournament records from those seasons were vacated due to rules violations under former coach Jim O’Brien.

Even with the success on the court, Matta said he has been more impressed with Buford’s growth as a person.

“You look at the time that he’s been here, I’d probably look more at the personal development than the basketball development,” Matta said. “It’s quite an honor. You spend four years with a guy and you know, you definitely hate to see him go.”

Buford said his final home game will “absolutely” have a special meaning for him.

“I love it here, I’ve been here for four years,” he said. “It’s going to be real special for me. You know I’m probably not going to come to grips with it that day, but it’s going to be kind of crazy to think that this is going to be my last time playing here.”

Sunday’s game will tip at 4 p.m.

Danny Restivo Lantern reporter restivo.7@osu.edu To play basketball at former Ohio State men’s basketball player Ron Stokes’ home in Gahanna, Ohio, you have to abide by four rules.

“You got to play hard, and you got to play smart, and you got to be coachable … and you have to play defense,” said the former OSU guard and current radio color analyst for the Buckeyes men’s basketball team.

Those rules not only shaped the way Stokes played the game at OSU, from 1981-1985, they’ve also molded another player with the same last name.

His daughter, redshirt junior guard Amber Stokes, is carrying on the family legacy.

“It’s a good advantage to have a dad that knows the game and been in my shoes,” said Amber Stokes, the second of Ron and Lavita Stokes’ four children.

For 15 years, her father has commentated on the flagship station for OSU men’s basketball games, which has proven to be an invaluable tool for the younger Stokes.

“It’s nice because some people don’t have dads who understand the game,” said Amber Stokes. “My dad understands the game, and he’s able to give me advice.”

It might benefit Amber, but being a college basketball analyst who’s watching his daughter play can be a trying experience.

“I find myself not even enjoying the game because I’m looking at every single thing because that’s what I do for a living,” Ron Stokes said. “It’s tough turning it off from being an analyst.”

Along with announcing every OSU men’s game and attending Amber Stokes’ games when possible, Ron also owns one of the top 50 fastest growing privately held businesses in central Ohio, according to

For the four seniors on the No. 17-ranked Ohio State men’s ice hockey team, Saturday night will be the final time they play at the Schottenstein Center for a regular season game, and the crowd they will be skating in front of what could be one of the largest home crowds of the season.

OSU (15-11-5, 11-10-5-1 CCHA) faces off against Miami (Ohio) (19-3-2, 13-11-2-1 CCHA) at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Columbus after playing the No. 15-ranked RedHawks in Oxford, Ohio, on Friday night.

The attendance on Saturday’s senior night, which will honor forward Danny Dries, defenseman Sean Duddy, goalie Cal Heeter and forward Cory Schneider before the game, should be about 8,000, with more than 7,000 tickets sold and about 1,000 students expected to attend. OSU’s average attendance for home games this season is 3,470.

OSU’s athletic department has been promoting a “Sell Out the Schott” campaign for Saturday’s game for most of the season. While the campaign looks like it will ultimately fall short of its goal, as the Schottenstein Center’s capacity for hockey games is more than 17,000, the Buckeye seniors said they are looking forward to playing in front of what will be either the highest or second highest home attendance of the season (9,828 fans watched OSU lose to Michigan, 4-0, on Jan. 13 in Columbus).

“I’m pretty excited for it,” Heeter said. “It’s definitely going to be a big moment for me.”

Schneider agreed.

“Saturday night will be fun. It will be a great atmosphere. (Miami)’s our rival. It’s going to be fun.”

While all four seniors will be honored pre-game on Saturday, one of them might not be able to play in the game.

Baseball heads south to meet ACC foe Nick Dvorscak Lantern reporter dvorscak.2@osu.edu Whether it’s track, football or baseball, the Southeastern Conference is often seen as the quintessential athletic conference, and sophomore first baseman and pitcher Josh Dezse of the Ohio State baseball team is sick of hearing about it.

“The SEC’s got the huge hype and these northern teams are looked down upon, but I think the talent, I wouldn’t say that it’s even, but I would say that there is just as good of players up here as down there,” Dezse said. “They may not all be on one team, but I definitely think that we can compete with those SEC schools, and it does frustrate us as a northern school hearing about that stuff.”

Heading into his team’s three-game series against No. 10 Georgia Tech, Dezse said OSU is eager to show what they can do.

“Hopefully this weekend we can go down there and prove that the Big Ten can compete,” he said.

The team opened their season last weekend at the Big Ten/Big East challenge in St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Fla., going 2-1. Their two victories came against Connecticut and Seton Hall, with the loss coming in the series-opening game against South Florida.

The fact that his team was still able to accomplish its goal for the weekend was reassuring for coach Greg Beals.

“We’ve set goals to win weekends and

Georgia Tech will be a good barometer for OSU, Beals said. winning two out of three is the bare minimum,” Beals said.

“Just because we lost the first game doesn’t mean we can’t still do that, and our guys bounced back and made sure we did that.”

Beals said the way his team responded to the seriesopening loss didn’t necessarily impress him, but was glad to see that they did respond. “it tells us a little bit about our character,” he said.

Georgia Tech is known for their strong pitching staff, something that dezse and Beals said the team is preparing for.

“Georgia Tech is going to pitch the ball very well,” Beals said. “i don’t foresee us scoring 14 and nine runs to win games like we did this past weekend.” dezse called for his team to start quickly to counter the pitching they will see this weekend.

“We obviously know we’re going to see some good pitchers from Georgia Tech, so we need to strike early and fast,” he said.

Beals also wants to see his team play a cleaner game on both sides of the ball and eliminate errors that he saw in the season opening series.

“We’re going to have to play a little bit cleaner than we did this weekend,” he said. “We’re going to have to eliminate some of our errors on defense. in most of the innings where we gave up runs, we did something to help them.”

The team had a throwing error in the usF game that resulted in a run, and gave up a couple of walks with similar results, Beals said.

Junior pitcher Brian King said his team should be able to repeat their exploits from last weekend.

“We worked real hard as a team this past weekend and pulled two out of three, and i’m confident that if we do that again, we’re going to come out of there winning that weekend series,” King said.

Besides wanting his team to succeed this weekend, the series against Georgia Tech has special meaning for Beals. it will mark the first time he coaches against his former college coach danny hall, whom he played under at Kent state.

“Coach hall is kind of a mentor of mine,” Beals said. “he’s kind of the one that orchestrated me getting into the college coaching profession, so i have a lot of respect for danny.”

Beals said coaching against his former coach “is going to be exciting,” and that he and coach hall “look forward to seeing each other.”

Beals said his team should be just as excited for the weekend’s series against Georgia Tech, even if it’s for different reasons.

“Great teams, teams that are looking to do something special, thrive with this opportunity to go against this team,” he said. “We work really hard and our guys have high expectations for our season, and this will be a good barometer for where we are at this time of the year.”

Opening pitches are set for 4:05 p.m. Friday, 2:05 p.m. saturday and 1:05 p.m. sunday in atlanta, Ga.

That commitment to hard work and basketball is mirrored in amber stokes, who has already completed her undergraduate degree in criminology. The younger stokes was also elected co-captain her junior season, a feat her father accomplished as well. even members of the Osu athletic community see the similarities in the way they play. denny hoobler, associate athletics director for development and ticketing at Osu, has watched both family members. he said he remembers seeing ron stokes while he was a guard at Canton Mckinley high school and at Osu. he said when he watches amber stokes play, he has a déjà vu-like experience. “it’s watching ronnie stokes all over again,” hoobler said. “Just her intensity and defense.” although her father has influenced her style of play, the same can’t be said for her decision to become a Buckeye.

Based on the proximity and Osu’s program, ron stokes said he wanted his daughter to stay in Columbus, but he wouldn’t feel right if she picked a university because he played there. “even if it was another school, if i told her to go to that school and she went there because mainly i wanted her to go, and she didn’t have a great experience, i wouldn’t feel right as a father,” ron stokes said. in the end, amber stokes chose Osu because of its tradition and the atmosphere, she said. her decision has helped her team achieve the no. 8 spot in the nation this year, and a shot at the national Championship. although she and her father have enjoyed success on the court, she said she doesn’t plan on following him into the broadcast booth. “no, i don’t think that’s me,” amber stokes said. “Let my dad do that job.”

Berzins brothers to battle in Chicago Lisa Barefiled Lantern reporter barefield.2@osu.edu

When the Buckeyes step into Gentile Arena in Chicago on Saturday and senior outside hitter Mik Berzins looks at the opposing team’s bench, he will see two people he knows quite well.

“I’ve grown accustomed to playing my brothers over at Loyola,” he said.

“It’s a good rivalry.”

Berzins’ brothers, Kris and Dainis, have made the family name synonymous with volleyball at Loyola University Chicago, just as their father paved the way for Mik at Ohio State.

The tradition begins with OSU Hall of Famer, Aldis Berzins. The Olympic gold medalist and former outside hitter led the Buckeyes to four Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association championships and four NCAA Final Four appearances between 1975 and 1978.

Like father, like sons.

Kris, Mik and Dainis have played at the outside hitter position and have made strides within their respective programs. Even the youngest Berzins, sophomore Dainis, started in 21 sets last year and tallied 113 kills, according to Loyola’s athletic website.

“We all really support each other and want to have the other one do well,” Mik said. “I’m not going to cheer whenever Dainis gets a kill, but I wish him the best.”

Former all-American Kris Berzins amassed more than 1,000 kills and 500 digs in his career with the Ramblers, one of only seven players in school history to do so.

After a year on the professional circuit in Austria, Kris returned to Chicago as an assistant coach for the 2012 season.

Ramblers’ coach Shane Davis said he tried to recruit Mik, too.

“I thought we had him,” Davis said. “He took another look at Ohio State unfortunately, but we definitely wanted him.”

Mik said he chose OSU over Loyola because he could see himself succeeding in the versatile program.

The brothers, along with other brother, Loyala Chicago assistant coach Kris Berzins, will meet on the court when the teams meet Saturday in Chicago, Ill. “I came in as a libero, and I got the opportunity this year, and a little bit last year, to play some outside hitter,” he said. “Ohio State was the best place for me to go.”

Mik has helped propel the Buckeyes to an 11-4 record with 120 kills, 10 service aces and a 0.928 serve percentage so far this season.

He also has the most career digs in school history with 787.

OSU’s coach Pete Hanson describes Mik as a passer, defender and server, but not one to be

distracted by the family feud that awaits him this weekend.

“Mik does a great job for us,” Hanson said. “He’ll be in a good frame of mind in terms of Ohio State volleyball.”

The Buckeyes are 28-13 on the series against conference rival Loyola, and are on a five-match winning streak. The No. 14-ranked Ramblers have fared better at home, however, with a 9-7 record against OSU there.

Davis, who shared the MIVA Coach of the Year award with Hanson

in 2010, said that he is most looking forward to “all the hype” surrounding the match.

“The two teams, we have a lot of history together,” he said.

The trio from Brinklow, Md., will reunite Saturday after OSU makes a stop in Romeoville, Ill., to face No. 7-ranked Lewis on Thursday. Both matches are set to begin at 7 p.m.

Help Wanted General POLISHED CUSTOMER SERVICE PRO Are you a perfectionist? Like being part of a high‑performance team? Experience with high‑end, Ritz‑Carlton/Disney style guest service? Motivated by goal setting and the chance to add to your hourly wage with generous bonus programs?

If the answer is yes, yes, yes, and YES, throw everything you believe about how a “typical” dental practice operates right out the window and come see if you are the right person to round out our dynamic team. We treat our patients like royalty, it’s as simple as that, and we need people who understand how to make that happen. If you have the customer service track record, we can teach you about our business so no dental experience is necessary.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced, polished hospitality pro (perfect for a great concierge or front desk person) to join a progressive multi‑practitioner healthcare practice as a Business Office associate. We are experiencing tremendous growth and cultural evolution. This practice is committed to core values of prevention, caring, education and community involvement. While other practices are bemoaning the economy, ours is growing by leaps and bounds. We understand that the combination of clinical excellence combined with high‑ end spa‑like patient service is the perfect combination for success.

In addition to being a proficient multi‑tasker, your success in our practice is dependent upon your ability to translate this service ideal every day to our patients and the rest of the team. You MUST be polished in appearance and speech.

If you have been looking for an opportunity to be a part of a dynamic team using cutting edge technology and progressive businesses practices, we want to talk to you.

College degree strongly preferred, must have high‑end customer service experience.

Full‑time and Part‑time available.
