Ohio State students shook the ground and raised nearly $500,000 for BuckeyeThon 2012, where about 1,800 student participants gathered for the annual 12-hour dance marathon. BuckeyeThon, which kicked off Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. in the Ohio Union, is one of the largest student philanthropies on campus. Students raised $454,826.09 this year for Nationwide Children’s Hospital, more than doubling last year’s $222,518. In 2011, the dancers doubled their raised funds from their 2010 numbers, and in 2012 they doubled it again, a feat that has not been matched by any other dance marathon in the country. Emma Crouser, a fourth-year in marketing and member of the BuckeyeThon marketing committee, said the final number was announced at the end of the event. “We weren’t sure (how much we would raise), we set $250,000 as a tentative goal, a benchmark, but we wanted to raise much more. No one knew what the total was after it hit $200,000 because they took down the donation thermometer from the website about a month ago,” Crouser said. Crouser said she was blown away by the amount of money students were able to raise. “In two years we have raised (more than) $700,000,” she said. “That’s a lot of money.” While organizers called BuckeyeThon fun, they also said it’s important that dancers remember the reason behind the party. Part of the rules for the 12-hour marathon require that they stand the entire time. “If these kids can go through radiation treatment

Athlete shares near-death story

You sunk my battleship. Ohio State Recreational Sports hosted the inaugural intramural battleship game on Friday evening, bringing the classic Milton Bradley Company board game to life. In the original board game, players position five different ships on a 10-by-10 grid, concealing the location of the ships from an opponent. Players then “shoot” at the battleship by guessing the opposing player’s coordinates, trying to sink the ship with two, three, four or five hits to the boat. The player who “sinks” all his opponents’ boats first wins. However, Rec Sports changed the rules and required participants to literally sink a boat. “The idea and kind of perspective you have behind it is you have your old game of Battleship that you played as a kid and we’re battling back and forth to try and sink each other’s ship. What if we could bring this game to life, to have it for real?” said Bonnie Mitchell, intramural sports coordinator. “So we decided to take some canoes, corner off an area and then you sink each other with water.” Christina Heun, a third-year in psychology, was on one of the first teams eliminated. Despite elimination, Heun said she enjoyed the competition and the hardest part was balancing the canoe. “It was so fun. It wasn’t so much keeping water out, it was about balance,” Heun said. “You have to strategically paddle. Even if three people move to the same side, the canoe would tip over.” Battleship took place in the competition pool in McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. In teams of four, students climbed in 15-foot-9-inch canoes and balanced in the pool. Two groups of six boats competed in two heats. The best three teams from each group from the two heats combined competed in the championship round to be declared Battleship Intramural Champion.

Several students participated in Battleship, a game based off the Milton Bradley Company board game, at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. Teams were provided three three-gallon buckets to try and fill opponents’ boats with water to sink the canoes, and one smaller bucket to empty the water that filled the canoes. Participants were also required to keep the canoes in the “battle zones” roped off in the pool to keep the boats in the center of the pool and away from the edge.

Tweets, photos and Facebook statuses are all part of your digital footprint, an impression that is becoming increasingly important to employers and job-seekers. A digital footprint, or one’s trail of activity and interactions in a digital setting, is one of many signs of rapidly changing communication, said Christina Rideout, Career Connections director. “The way that communication is available in split seconds, we’re having a lot more things we need to consider and think about that we didn’t used to have to,” Rideout said. For students actively seeking jobs and internships, social media

Putting your best foot forward With potential employers using social media sites to research candidates, it’s important to be aware of your presence online. Here are ways to monitor your digital footprint: • Be mindful of your audience • Adjust your privacy settings • Include only your face in your Facebook proﬁle photo • Do not overshare on Facebook and Twitter • Be concise and clear on LinkedIn • Remember your digital footprint is permanent source: reporting chris POche / Design editor presence is especially important, Rideout said. “Particularly with Facebook, students really think about it as,

‘This is my opportunity to be social,’” Rideout said. “Even though it’s supposed to be private, it’s very public.”

In some settings, digital presence, especially social media activity, is a factor in reviewing candidates for employment. “If (an employer) can’t decide between two really good candidates, they might look at Facebook profiles to help them decide,” Rideout said. Pat DiNunzio is the Columbus managing director for Mergis Group, a nationwide recruiting firm that seeks candidates for positions in human resources and accounting. Though social media can feel very personal to its users, DiNunzio said employers conduct online searches when evaluating prospective employees. Some companies even have entire

campus Ironman athlete tells tales of death to life CAITLYN WASMUNDT Lantern reporter wasmundt.1@osu.edu “I don’t want to die.” That was Brian Boyle’s only thought when he woke from a coma and a priest read him his last rites. Boyle shared his experience of going from deathbed to Hawaiian Ironman in three years when he spoke at the Ohio Union Feb. 23 as collaboration between the Ohio Union Activities Board and the American Red Cross. In 2004, a car crash almost ended Boyle’s life at age 18, when a dump truck going 36 mph over the speed limit smashed into Boyle’s car. Not only did Boyle suffer broken bones and internal bleeding, but his heart shifted to the other side of his chest from the impact. Boyle said paramedics and doctors revived him eight times in two months to keep him alive. Boyle gave the audience a first-person account of what he experienced after waking up in the hospital and having no idea where he was or why he was there. “I awake to regular beeping sounds,” Boyle said. “I’m alone in a white room and looking straight up at the ceiling … I try to raise my arms, then legs, but I can’t move them. My head won’t budge either.” Moments after waking up, a dark shadowy figure walked into Boyle’s room. He said he feared it was death, but then realized it was a priest who began reading his last rites. As he read his story to the audience, Boyle had to stop for a moment. “I’m sorry, flashbacks,” he said. Katie Sattler, a fourth-year in nursing, said Boyle’s story touched her on a personal and professional level. “It was very inspirational, it gives me a different standpoint in nursing,” Sattler said. Two months after regaining consciousness, doctors moved Boyle to a therapy facility, Boyle told his audience. During his time in the Intensive Care Unit and rehab, Boyle said he lost hope and didn’t see a reason to live. But through faith and his parents’ love, he said he realized he needed to fight. Boyle wrote a book about his journey called “Iron Heart: The True Story of How I Came Back From the Dead.” Three years after the accident, Boyle said he decided to compete in the Hawaii Ironman, an endurance triathlon consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run.

A project that joins OSU, the City of Columbus and the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority is focused on transforming the Near East Side of Columbus.

Brian Boyle, an endurance competition athlete who was once on his death bed, visited the Ohio Union on Feb. 23. Boyle said his decision to compete was his way of telling those around him that he was finally OK. “Ironman sealed the deal on my recovery,” Boyle said. He finished the competition in 14 hours and 42 minutes, just three years after being told he might never walk again. “It was the breath of life all over again,” Boyle said about crossing the finish line. Doire Perot, a third-year in operations management and president of American Red Cross Club at OSU, said hearing Boyle’s story was an incredible opportunity for OSU students. “You can take a lot away from Brian’s story, even if you aren’t an athlete,” Perot said. After telling his audience his firsthand experience, he opened it up to a Q-and-A session. Audience members asked him a wide range of questions, from his training regimen for his first Ironman to how he feels about driving after the accident. Since his first Ironman competition, Boyle has competed in about 30 other endurance competitions, he said. Boyle said he doesn’t remember the accident, but is still cautious when he’s on the road. “I don’t remember the accident, but the scars are there,” Boyle said of his lost memory.

A $10 million donation from Ohio State fueled a project to transform the Near East Side of Columbus, and students play a part in the process. Partners Achieving Community Transformation (PACT) is a partnership between the city of Columbus, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), Near East Side stakeholders and OSU. Together they are working to transform the Near East Side, said Dawn Tyler Lee, executive director of PACT and assistant vice president for community relations at OSU. The vision of the project is to “create a healthy, financially and environmentally sustainable community where residents have access to safe and affordable housing, quality health care and education, and employment opportunities on the Near East Side of Columbus,” according to the PACT website. PACT is not alone in their work to make a difference on the Near East Side; students are also contributing. “We have established the East-Side Buckeye Initiatives in conjunction with the Office of Student Life, International Poverty Solutions Collaborative (IPSC) and PACT in order to create institutions that serve to connect OSU students and Near East Side residents,” said Adrian Jusdanis, a third-year in psychology and an intern at the Poverty Center. This initiative will include mentoring and internship programs, said Patricia Cunningham, director of Student Engagement Core at the Poverty Center. “The IPSC student interns are at the forefront

of developing the meaningful and non-poverty tourism connections (there),” Cunningham said. The goals of the mentor program, which is set to start Spring Quarter, are to help the Near East Side’s youth succeed in school, maintain good health and become leaders in their community through strong relationships with positive role models, OSU students and mentors, Jusdanis said. The internship program will also start Spring Quarter and collaborate with the Eldon and Elsie Ward Family YMCA, located on the Near East Side. “(It) will offer the interns a good deal of control over one of the following areas at the Ward YMCA: internal YMCA events for members, collaboration with other community organization and sporting programming for the youth at the (YMCA),” Jusdanis said. Although PACT is still in the planning phase, Tyler Lee said they have identified the initial investment to Taylor Avenue, which will connect the university hospital, CarePoint East and the outpatient health care facility. The program launced in January and since then, the project has established five subcommittees, an advisory committee and an office on the Near East Side. “Ohio State is firmly committed to the Near East Side community,” President E. Gordon Gee said at the launch. “Through PACT, we are pleased to be partnering with the City of Columbus, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority and Near East Side stakeholders as we work to honor the heritage and build the future of this historic neighborhood.” Tyler Lee said the Near East Side neighborhood surrounds several pieces of OSU property. “We want to strengthen partnerships so students can learn more about other parts of the city,” Tyler Lee said.

Twelve teams competed overall Paddles were not permitted, and students had to use their arms to maneuver the canoe. Teams were eliminated if the boat sank or if members tipped the canoe and fell out of the boat. “It brings it to life. If you put water in a boat and sink the boat, it brings it to life. So we’re really trying to bring battle to life in a fun atmosphere,” Mitchell said. Twelve teams registered and another 12 teams were on a waitlist to compete, Mitchell said. “The response was overwhelming from students very interested in participating, from our students here in the RPAC or Department of Recreational Sports … really wanted to participate, or students who participate in intramural sports and our other recreational activities,” Mitchell said. “I think it was a very warm welcome for a new sport.” Battleship was free for students to participate, but they

had to be able to swim, Mitchell said. Shea Ryan, a first-year graduate student in sports management who works for competitive sports, was a judge for Battleship. Ryan said the event ended with good results. “I thought it went really well. All the participants were really engaged and very excited to be here in the first place,” Ryan said. Jen Malik, a third-year in biomedical engineering, won the intramural Battleship competition with her team, Amphibious Assault. Malik and her team won free T-shirts. Malik said her knees and feet hurt, and positioning in the canoe was difficult. “Balancing was rocky at first,” Malik said. “But it was good, it was intense. It was a fun event.”

LinkedIn helps manage professional network departments devoted to this, she added. Sarah Gale, a fourth-year in operations management, said she has considered her digital presence throughout her job search but hasn’t changed her online activity. “I haven’t changed what I do on Facebook because I never have been one of those to post everything,” Gale said. “My Facebook profile is as private as possible. My friends can see it and that’s about it.” Steven Redd, a fourth-year in public affairs, said he has learned from professional experiences that employers might search for a candidate online out of curiosity. “You’re going to at least Google a person that’s going to be joining your staff just because,” he said. “If nothing else, you’re curious to see what they look like or you’re curious about who they are.” When employers conduct online searches, Redd said he doesn’t think they’re looking for anything compromising. “I don’t think they’re necessarily actually looking for something,” Redd said. “I think it would have to be pretty offensive.” Redd added that larger firms and organizations might use a structured interview process because they think it identifies candidates who are a best fit for the position. “Unless they come across something extremely unflattering, they’re going to go with what their experiences are and how they select people,” he said. KeyBank is one of several companies that recruits extensively at Ohio State, particularly within the Fisher College of Business. TaRita Johnson leads the campus recruiting efforts at KeyBank, a company she said does not look at online presence or social media use when reviewing candidates. She said this is mostly because of the high volume of candidates they review. Still, other companies might use Internet searches

BuckeyeThon is and chemotherapy, we can stand for 12 hours,” Crouser said. About 2,400 people registered for this year’s event, of those, about 1,800 came out for the night. BuckeyeThon 2011 was a 17-hour dance marathon, but the event was shortened to 12 hours this year in order to attract more participants. “We decided that ultimately by shortening it we would get more people here and get them to stay all night,” Crouser said. “It’s hard to get a bunch of 22-year-olds to stay here that long.” Activities were organized to keep participants entertained and engaged while at the event, including a hula hoop contest, a team tug-of-war contest, live music, dance performances and a 3 a.m. glow rave. Participants were organized into different color teams that competed against each other throughout the night. “It’s a dance marathon tradition, but it’s used to unite the whole campus because different groups are put together under the same color, and when all the colors unite, they are even more beautiful — we can all do something bigger than ourselves,” said Marie Gilman, a fourth-year in interior design and director of event operations for BuckeyeThon. The dancing took place in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom, but other areas of the Union were set up to give students a place to reflect on the meaning of the event and their reasons for participating. A “Why We Dance” wall was assembled outside the ballroom, where dancers were invited to write their reasons for participating on a note card and pin them on the wall. Next door was the “Inspiration Room” where previous dance marathons were remembered with pictures and fundraising totals, and the children the teams were dancing for were commemorated with hand-painted shoes to symbolize their journey with cancer and a note that explains their story. Participants can also opt to be in a compilation video that will be given to the children and their families, encouraging them in their fight against cancer. “Next time they go in for chemotherapy they can watch the video and remember they have 2,000 people supporting them,” Gilman said.

when reviewing candidates, so students should be mindful, Johnson said. “Just because my team is not doing that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other employers or people that are looking out there and pulling that information,” Johnson said. LinkedIn is a form of social media that could be used to a student’s advantage when looking for internships or employment, and networking is key in fostering relationships that could lead to employment, Rideout said. “Using social media sites like LinkedIn could be really beneficial to students in terms of learning more about networks,” Rideout said. Redd interned in Washington, D.C., last summer and had friends who used LinkedIn to organize their professional network. “It’s so difficult to keep track of people using business cards,” Redd said. “Having this electronic library of people that you’ve come in contact with … it’s a really nice way to keep in touch.” Even if students aren’t actively looking for an internship or job, it is still important to monitor your digital footprint. Redd said it’s hard to give suggestions about social media because everyone uses it in their own way, but in general, people should be mindful of their audience. “You have to understand what type of people are seeing what type of information,” Redd said. When it comes to Facebook, statuses should be reserved for big events and things that you want a lot of people to know about, Redd said. “A good thing to share on Facebook are accomplishments or exciting things happening in your life,” Redd said. “You don’t want all of your Facebook statuses to be depressing song lyrics.” Johnson encourages students, most importantly, to be professional. “Pictures with inappropriate paraphernalia, alcohol, smoking, any of those things, don’t need to be out there. I would encourage students to be very careful,” Johnson said. “Once you put it out there in cyber world, it’s out there.”

The theme for this year’s event was childhood memories, which set a trend for ‘90s music, an ‘N Sync imitation performance, a Mario Kart contest and board games available for participants to play throughout the night. “We’re going to remember our childhoods all night long for them to have their childhood,” Gilman said. Every team had the opportunity to meet the children assigned to their particular team before the festivities began. Gilman said team members enjoyed being able to meet and interact with the kids they were supposed to keep in mind throughout the event, and said positive things about the increased awareness of BuckeyeThon on campus. “We’ve really made our presence known on campus. We might be a little obnoxious about it, but once they’re here, they’re going to come again,” Gilman said. “If people come back again, that’s the whole entire goal of the whole thing.” Crouser said BuckeyeThon is part of the OSU experience. “We want everyone to be here for BuckeyeThon once in their time at Ohio State,” she said. Addressing a crowd of dancers during the closing ceremonies, Mark Mangia, president of BuckeyeThon and fourth-year in medical technologies, spoke about the organization at OSU, calling Buckeyethon an event “that Ohio State should be known for.” BuckeyeThon organizers and dancers look forward to the event’s future growth, and look at larger dance marathons such as the one held annually at Penn State as a model for success. The 46-hour event at Penn State raises money for pediatric care patients, and is the largest studentrun philanthropy event in the world. This year they raised $10.68 million for the cause. “There are a lot more people here this year, which is awesome. Ohio State definitely has the potential to do this bigger,” said Ben Collins, a fifth-year in industrial and systems engineering. “When I’m an alumni and I come back in 10 years, maybe it’ll be like that. Gilman has seen considerable growth in the program since becoming involved. “Every year we get more families tied in and more links with the hospital,” Gilman said. “That’s the whole reason we’re here and I we don’t want to lose sight of that.”

studentvoice Young Cavs make mark

As the NBA All-Stars took to the court Sunday night in Orlando, none of them were clad in wine and gold. Nonetheless, the Cleveland Cavaliers youth shined in the All-Star festivities. Kyrie Irving, the 2011 NBA draft’s No. 1-overall pick, and Tristan Thompson, fourth overall selection, represented the Cavs in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge Friday night. In the game, which pits first- and second-year players against each other, the pair of rookies actually took the court against each other. As the Cavs have not had a single nationally-televised game before the All-Star break, the duo got their first chance to show the nation what’s going on in Cleveland. Thompson represented Team Shaq, selected by Shaquille O’Neal, and Irving was the first selection of Charles Barkley, leader of Team Chuck. Sharing the court with up-and-coming stars such as the Clippers’ Blake Griffin, Knicks’ Jeremy Lin and

Another quarter is well under way and I find myself in the same struggle I’ve been in for the past four years. Although it is not impossible, I always find myself in a bind when trying to strike the perfect balance between school, work, and exercise. If I’m on top of my schoolwork it seems as though another top emerges. And this other top is unappealing, taking on the shape THAILYR SCRIVNER of a muffin and hanging over my scrivner.2@osu.edu once-fitting jeans. Striving for complete perfection on both the academic and the physical side is not what I should be focusing my time on. Ultimately, worrying about the best of both worlds only leads to more stress, more excuses, and more overeating. I’ve begun to find a balance for each, even if the balance means making a few sacrifices on both fronts. If I have a large amount of schoolwork one week, I try to focus more on food preparation than gym time. Physiques are derived more from diet, so when I’m not able to get my time in at the gym, I force myself to keep walking when the endless smell of fast food fills my nose as I walk home from class. To be sure, I’m not advocating skipping the gym, but setting unrealistic goals of going to the gym six days a week when taking 20 credit hours and working 15 hours a week can hurt your cause. Not only will you be setting yourself up for potential failure when you only make it there four days out of seven, but you’ll be able to better focus on both school and fitness if you’re reaching your goals. Realistic goals can be the keys to success. Little changes I’ve begun to make have been game-changers for me. I try to walk to work at the Schottenstein Center or even purposefully take a longer route to and from class to get an extra mile or so of walking in if I have the time. Students who are looking to balance exercise and schoolwork should find friends looking to do the same and should ditch the excuses. Find something that fits your schedule and your jeans will most likely fit just as well.

Wizards’ John Wall, the competition was stiff. But the Cavaliers rookies put on a show. Thompson, who will turn 21 in a little more than two weeks, clocked 27 minutes and led Team Shaq with 20 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the field. Considering he was sharing time with established young big men Griffin and Detroit’s Greg Monroe, the performance was impressive. But the real star of the show was Irving. After starting off slow in the first 15 minutes, the rookie drained all four of his 3-point attempts in the last five minutes of the first half and went into the break leading his team with 16 points. The 19-year-old was far from finished as he went on to score 18 points in the second half, to bring his total to 34 on the night. The shooting clinic he put on was the highlight of the night, as he sunk 12-of-13 field goal attempts, including a perfect long-range shooting display finishing 8-for-8 from 3-point range. His shooting stroke was not all that was showcased though, as he also recorded nine assists to display his play-making ability. His athleticism shone on the receiving end of an alley-oop pass from Wall. In the end, Team Chuck defeated Team Shaq, 146-133, and Irving deservedly walked away with his first MVP trophy, albeit in a game known for its lackadaisical defense. That being said, Thompson and Irving’s performances were encouraging and showed the country that the Cavs’ future is

Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers holds up his MVP trophy following the Rising Stars Challenge at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 24. bright, something that Cleveland fans have already seen in the first half of the year. It’s not out of the question to say that when the 2013 NBA All-Star teams take the court in Houston Feb. 17, the city of

Cleveland might have a representative or two. And while that event is still a year away, Irving and Thompson certainly proved ESPN should at least consider airing a Cavs game before the end of time.

Nostalgia fosters communication, friendship need to find ways to do it. Before I even got to Ohio State, I already realized the plan of action that garnered the best results when it came to meeting people: nostalgia. Most of us are nostalgic. You could even argue that many people are nostalgic about things that most of us don’t care about at all. But when you strike a chord with other people, even multiple people, you break down barriers that would otherwise take months to get through. The reason why nostalgia works so well in this instance is because, as I mentioned before, it applies to all of us. Whether it’s TV shows, movies, sporting

events or albums, these things have the potential to resonate with anyone you meet. My advice would be to bring up the decade of the 1990s specifically. Everyone our age lived through it, almost everyone remembers it, some even love it. They were our own glory days, the period of time when we can all agree that life was a bit simpler. In the overbooked and stressful climate we inhabit, there is a necessity to relive moments that didn’t make us want to rip our hair out. It keeps us sane and encourages us to keep going. I guarantee you’ll get the most animated of reactions from me if you mention “Doug,” “Arthur” or any Disney

charge of a matter they’ve put so much time, money and effort into. Braun held a press conference Friday and seemed strangely calm and somewhat uncomfortable. After being accused of breaking baseball’s most sacred rule, he didn’t come out sounding like a guy who was at all offended about such a heinous mistake. “If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I’d be the first one to step up and say I did it,” Braun said. Of course you would have, Ryan. Of course you would have. It’s been nearly 14 years since the Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa home run race, one of the most remarkable individual battles in the history of sports. Three years later, the nation watched Barry Bonds send 73 balls over the fence to set a single season home run record that still stands today. The achievements of McGwire, Sosa and Bonds soon became notorious because of alleged steroid use, launching MLB’s battle on steroids for

much of the 21st century’s first decade. To this point, baseball has done an admirable job of eliminating banned substances from the game. Three months ago, it seemed as though the tarnished reputation of America’s pastime had finally polished itself back to a reputable sport with honest players. Then Ryan Braun’s pee sat on a desk for a couple days too long. Back to the drawing board, Bud Selig. Braun can claim his innocence until the world ends. The fact remains that his urine tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. He cheated the fans, the league and himself. He made shameful decisions that affected baseball’s history. If Braun plays the game honestly, maybe the St. Louis Cardinals don’t win the World Series. Maybe Braun’s Brewers don’t win the NL Central crown. And maybe the Dodgers’ Matt Kemp gets the MVP trophy that Braun didn’t really earn. Unfortunately we’ll never see the honor of being named 2011’s most influential player in the National League given to someone who earned the title honestly. What we do know is this: Braun’s MVP trophy will sit on the same disgraceful mantle in fans’ minds as Sosa’s ’98 MVP award, McGwire’s three Silver Slugger awards and Bond’s all-time single season home run record. So admire that trophy, Ryan — you’re the only one who thinks you’re sincerely deserving of it.

MLB’s Ryan Braun was ‘victim of unfortunate circumstances’

Back to square one. MLB might not feel that way, but some of its fans certainly do. Reigning National League MVP Ryan Braun was suspended for 50 games this upcoming season after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs in October. The suspension was overturned last week, because a part-time nurse didn’t know FedEx’s schedule and let Braun’s urine sit on a desk for a couple days. The league’s drug policy states that after a sample is collected from a player, it must be shipped on the day that it was collected to the testing facility. According to multiple reports, Braun’s sample was collected on Oct. 1, but didn’t get sent to the testing facility until Oct. 3. Good to know the MLB puts such competent people in

Channel original movie. Those pieces of media from yesteryear stir up a frenzied adoration similar to one I had in my youth. That love was one that existed at a time when I wasn’t weighed down by viewing things in perspective or looking ahead to the task I had to complete next. Back in those days, it was all about the moment, a state of affairs sadly lacking in our lives of today. So the next time you meet someone or just want to get to know a person better, reach back in your mind and tell them about the things that put a smile on your face. Because once you do, chances are you’ll find out those same memories had a similar effect on them.

Whenever you enter a new situation, especially one where you’re unfamiliar with people around you, it can be tough. You’re not sure how you should approach people. Should you act as these new comrades are people you’ve known for a while and are comfortable with, or act a bit reserved and try not to make the wrong impression? There are thousands of examples of both sides being chosen, and which place is more apt for such decisions than college. For a freshman especially, the first weeks are filled with these sort of situations. Even as the year trudges along, there are still moments where connecting with others is necessary and you

Ryan Braun should consider himself a lucky man. During the offseason, the reigning National League MVP and Brewers’ outfielder was handed a 50-game suspension by Major League Baseball after a urine sample collected during the early rounds of last year’s playoff race was found to have elevated levels of testosterone. The ruling was overturned Thursday by an arbitrator who found evidence to support Braun’s claim of innocence. But here’s where it gets hazy. The arbitrator did not discover why there were elevated levels of testosterone in the sample, nor did he find evidence that the sample wasn’t Braun’s. Braun got off on what can only be considered a technicality. The league’s drug policy states that after a sample is collected from a player, it must be shipped on the day that it was collected to the testing facility. According to multiple reports, Braun’s sample was collected Oct. 1, but didn’t get sent to the

testing facility until Oct. 3. The wheels of justice turned and, completely within the rules put forth by the league, Braun was cleared because league procedure was not followed. Braun went on to make some interesting comments regarding the league and its drug testing policies when he addressed the media prior to the start of Brewers’ spring training. Braun was bold enough to call the process “fatally flawed.” He added that the process was “opposite of the American judicial system.” In today’s game, players that test positive for steroids are automatically assumed to be guilty until proven innocent. Whether it’s the judgment of fans or the media, a positive test can be devastating to a player’s career. Braun seems to have the credibility to question the process as he was the first player in the history of baseball to have his suspension for elevated levels of testosterone overturned. Braun took his aggression out on the league and the media for not giving him a fair chance to prove himself innocent. And now he’s concerned that his reputation is tarnished. His aggression is misplaced. Braun should be blaming the players that came before him that tested positive for steroids. The 1990s was a decade that many consider to be a wash. After former home run kings Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds and many others all tested positive for performance-

enhancing substances, the whole era has been called into question. Today’s players, whether they can accept it or not, will never get a chance at the fairness that Braun calls for in steroid testing. Anyone who witnessed the “Steroid Era,” as it has been termed, will always be skeptical of any baseball player that tests positive for steroids. Until the generation of baseball fans that witnessed the “Steroid Era” is gone, baseball players will always be under a microscope. It’s great for Braun that he was cleared of his charges, but he’s in a no-win situation now. If he doesn’t repeat his performance of last season, everyone will assume that it’s because he is no longer doing steroids. If he does repeat his performance from last season, everyone will assume it’s because he was cleared of charges and is back on steroids. It’s easy to sympathize with Braun. He seems to be a genuinely clean player that loves the game of baseball and was the victim of unfortunate circumstances. But, whether it’s fair or not, until the public’s mind is cleared of the “Steroid Era,” the actions of the league’s early generation has cast a shadow over the present generation of players. And until they earn that trust back, Braun and the rest of the players in the league should just get used to the situation. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

In a competition full of high heels, heavy eye makeup and glitter, a king walked away with the crown. Nina West’s Drag Star Search went in search of the best amateur drag performer in Columbus. Twelve drag queens, who are men performing as women, and one drag king, who is a woman performing as a man, came out in full force at Axis Nightclub Saturday. After pantomiming Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” to a crowd of about 600 people and three judges, drag king Cool Ethan beat the queens for the $1,000 prize, sponsored by SKYY Vodka. Cool Ethan said drag kings in Columbus don’t get as much recognition as queens, so he was shocked to win. “I came into this just wanting to expose people to drag kings and wasn’t expecting to win,” Ethan said. “It’s so humbling and amazing. I honestly can’t believe it.” Ethan is the creative director of drag king troupe The Royal Renegades of Columbus. He said the performance was especially meaningful to him because of the reaction from audience members. “I’ve had a lot of people come up to me tonight and say, ‘You know, you really changed my mind about drag kings,’” Ethan said. “It’s really uplifting. Columbus is one of the only places I’ve been that has such an amazing, accepting community.” West, one of Columbus’ most famous drag queens, hosted the event with her scintillating, quick-witted humor and over-the-top costumes. Each contestant had seven minutes to impress the judges, who were marking points for talent, look and overall ability to move the crowd. A few of the contestants sang live, while most of them pantomimed to hit songs by artists such as Madonna and Britney Spears. Audience members seated close to the stage handed cash to their favorite performers. West said the competition was important because drag is a dying art form that needs to be encouraged in Columbus. “We’re just trying to entertain, make people happy and make them smile,” West said. “It allows us as a subculture to express ourselves in an art form that isn’t defined by a heterosexual society.” After Ethan’s performance, drag queen and judge Anisa Love told the remaining contestants, “You b----es better bring it!”

West said she wasn’t surprised to see Ethan take the prize. “We were trying to look for the best and most worthwhile new entertainer,” West said. “It was an issue of talent, not gender, and Cool Ethan brought the best talent tonight by far.” Frankie Wall, also known as drag queen B.B., is a third-year in city and regional planning at Ohio State. Wall said she started doing drag as a joke after dressing up as “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki for Halloween. After only two months of dressing in genderbending costumes, she said her performance of Macy Gray’s “Sexual Revolution” was her first official drag show. “I was so nervous,” Wall said. “I’ve only been doing this for two months and I’m going up against queens who’ve been doing it for 12 years.” Wall said she spends three or four hours getting ready to perform. She said doing drag is “more than just playing dress-up.” “A lot of people play club sports,” Wall said.

“This is my club sport. It’s my art, my hobby. It’s what I do.” Wall said she wishes OSU students would be more supportive of the large community of drag performers in Columbus. “It makes you so much more well-rounded,” Wall said. “I’ve run into a lot of close-minded people at OSU, but then I come here and see hundreds of people loving it. I wish more people would come out and appreciate it.” Wall said she thinks people have misconceptions about drag because they don’t understand it. “A lot of people think drag is only for gay people, but it’s not,” Wall said. “And just because you do drag, doesn’t mean you want to become a girl. It’s so much more than that. This is fun. It’s a blast. It’s for everybody.” Axis Nightclub, located in the Short North, hosts several drag events every month. Ethan said he plans to perform with West in April. For a schedule of events, visit www.columbusnightlife.com.

For its third time playing at Newport Music Hall and first time headlining there, Young the Giant shook up the music hall and proved it was headlineworthy. The young pop band from California won over the sold-out crowd Saturday with its explosive energy, catchy songs you can’t resist dancing to and crowd surfing. The opening band, Walk the Moon, fit well with Young the Giant. With roots in Cincinnati and Columbus, the band members displayed brightly-colored, tribal-like face and body paint. I must have missed the memo to wear my own face paint to the show, but representatives roamed the very crowded music hall providing similar looks to fans. I was extremely impressed with lead singer Nicholas Petricca’s vocal range, but also his ability to sing, play the keyboard and drums — often simultaneously — and even improvise with the microphone stand at times. For my first encounter with Walk the Moon, I can’t say a bad thing about a band who covers David Bowie well. Young the Giant kicked off its set with “I Got,” a popular, slower song from its self-titled debut album released in January 2011. It played a pleasing mix of its newer songs, such as “12 Fingers” and “Strings,” with a few that have yet to be recorded.

There’s something to be said about the relationship between the band and the audience that night. They fed off each other. Every song was an experience. Each band member was so engulfed in their music and in the moment that it seemed they were having as much fun as the jumping, dancing, singing crowd. I often worried lead singer Sameer Gadhia would pop a vein during his passionate spurts of cavorting and switching between his regular microphone and an old-school ribbon microphone. After a very fast hour, the band took a small break before its encore, which was by far the most novel encore I’ve ever experienced at a concert — and I’ve been to a lot. For anyone who has ever heard even a snippet of Young the Giant’s music, you would have been surprised when it busted out its version of R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix).” And the crowd ate it up. It was hilarious, but fun — presumably a fair representation of the band’s personality. And finally, it ended the night with the hit “My Body,” and the crowd erupted. The energy in the tiny, hot hall climaxed and I would be shocked if a single soul didn’t dance at least a little bit in those four minutes. While crowd surfing is standard at Newport, I don’t think anyone expected the lead singer to participate near the end of the final song, so much that he lost his earpieces in the pit. I woke up the day after the show with their songs stuck in my head and a craving to dance to their tunes at 9 a.m. Any concert that fails to inspire that feeling has surely failed. And Young the Giant certainly succeeded.

College edition of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ brings auditions to Columbus Ayan SheikH Lantern reporter sheikh.51@osu.edu In hopes of fulfilling their lifelong dreams of becoming successful models, some women in Columbus stood in line for hours for a chance to be a contestant on the college edition of The CW Television Network’s hit show “America’s Next Top Model.” More than 500 women between the ages of 18-27 gathered at Polaris Fashion Place Saturday to show off their looks and modeling skills. Among the applicants were Ohio State students and twin sisters Dana and Grace Langshaw, thirdyears in strategic communication. The twins said they were no strangers to the modeling world, and auditioning for “ANTM” would mean taking their careers to the next level.

“Dana actually plays guitar and we both sing so we kind of have (a) musical aspect to us,” Grace Langshaw said. “We’re also beginning actresses. We just got cast in a film that we tried out for in Cleveland.” Dana Langshaw said the “ANTM” casting associates contacted her and her sister to audition. “They told me they were doing a college edition and they liked my look and my measurements and weight,” Dana Langshaw said. “So he said, ‘Please come out and audition.’ So we listened to him and here we are.” Tlaloc Villarreal, a casting associate for “ANTM,” said the turnout of applicants far exceeded his expectations. “It went great actually,” Villarreal said. “It was a huge turnout — a bigger turnout than we expected coming to Columbus.”

Asher Roth, known for his hot song ‘I Love College,’ performed at Skully’s Music-Diner Feb. 24. AYAN SHEIKH / Lantern reporter

CONCERT REVIEW

Roth shows his love for college at OSU Bianca Briggs Lantern reporter briggs.243@osu.edu The name Asher Roth usually rings one bell: “I Love College.” Someone who hasn’t heard that song likely hasn’t heard any of his other songs either. Though the song is probably an anthem for the aspirations of middle and high school students, I like it anyway. Roth’s Final Four Tour made its stop in Columbus Friday at Skully’s Music-Diner. Seeing Roth Friday was one of the best and worst performances I have ever attended. I, along with those who stuck around, had drudged through DJ Wreckineyez, a Mac Miller lookalike “rapping” over a poor quality track and two or three other sets. After what felt like an eternity of opening acts, some of which were downright unpleasant, Roth casually walked out on stage and began his set. When Roth finally took the stage at Skully’s, I wasn’t expecting much. I won’t lie — I like his music, but the guy looks like a slacker and kind of rolls in that vein of suburban slacker rap (but not nearly as much as Miller). This concert was probably the longest I have

ever waited to see a headliner perform, clocking in at about three hours. I found it kind of offensive. No one should have to wait until about 12:30 a.m. to see any performer that isn’t wearing a pound of glitter and a pair of plastic platforms. Surprisingly Roth killed it, but he left me wanting more, in a bad way. It was easy to tell Roth enjoys performing, headbanging along with his live band and rapping simultaneously. He looked like he was having fun and that’s part of what kept people invested in the concert. But to my dismay, his set lasted only about 30 minutes. It mostly included his popular songs, “G.R.I.N.D.,” “Blunt Cruisin’” and “Lark on My Go-Kart.” Playing older songs is always a good way to get the audience involved in the performance because they usually know the words, but these were pretty much the only songs he played. I expected him to delve more into what he’s been working on lately and it was disappointing. In some sense, I feel the Final Four Tour is just Roth’s ploy to run from college town to college town watching some of the biggest games up until the NCAA Tournament, and for that I can’t really blame him. Roth made sure to thank his fans in the audience after his last song, before he made a speedy getaway.

Producers watch tapes of contestants in next round With the large turnout, Villarreal said there were a few girls that stood out more than others, but ultimately, the decision belongs to the producers of the show, including Tyra Banks. “There’s always a good number that stand out in every city that we go to,” Villarreal said. “But for the most part, we just wanted to see everybody and take a look at everyone (and) see their personalities.” Aside from filling out an application and submitting three head shots to associate producers, applicants were videotaped while casting associates interviewed them. Applicants were also asked to pose for the camera and demonstrate their catwalk skills. Villarreal said there isn’t a specific trait that ANTM producers are looking for in contestants. “We’re never looking for one specific thing,” Villarreal said. “We’re looking for a look obviously, but we’re also looking for big personalities and girls that are very competitive and have a reason for wanting to be on the show.” Villarreal said the next step in the auditioning process involves producers watching the audition

tapes. Then the chosen girls will be contacted for another round of interviews. Katiann Scherer, a second-year in horse science, said she thought some of the questions on the application seemed a bit odd. “(They asked us) a bunch of different questions asking us about our relationships with our parents, to what we would like on our perfect date,” Scherer said. “So it was kind of all broad.” Scherer also said the on-camera interviewing was a bit “nerve-wracking” for her, but overall she thought she did well. “I got a little nervous and I said my home phone number instead of my cell phone number,” Scherer said. “Hopefully that’s not a big deal, but other than that I think I did good.” Laura Waring, a second-year in mathematics, said it was her friends that persuaded her to audition for “ANTM.” “I have been watching ‘America’s Next Top Model’ forever and all my friends are saying I should try out and that’s why I’m here,” Waring said. Waring said that as a child she felt subconscious about her looks, but that all changed. “I was really subconscious when I was little, so I didn’t want to do anything that would bring attention to myself,” Waring said. “But when I got older, I started embracing it.”

Sunday’s Ohio State men’s basketball game was supposed to be a going out party for William Buford. Fans waved paddles featuring his face and the student section hoisted a massive cutout of the Buckeyes’ lone senior as Buford was honored prior to the Senior Day game against Wisconsin on Sunday at the Schottenstein Center. Instead, the No. 16 Badgers stole the show by defeating the No. 8 Buckeyes, 63-60, as a dejected Buford sat at the postgame press conference with a towel over his mouth, staring blankly at the box score in front of him. “Before the game it was cool,” he said. “But our main goal was to win the game and we didn’t win the game. So that kind of messed with my day a little bit.” Although Buford’s demeanor was somber, OSU still has two more regular season games remaining, along with the Big Ten and national tournament. Buford said he is troubled by the lack of cohesion between the team going forward. “It’s real concerning leading into March,” he said. “I mean, you always want to be together and we should be together by now, but hopefully we learn from this loss.” Coach Thad Matta said he threw the team out of practice Saturday. “They weren’t ready to practice and this team has shown we play like we practice,” Matta said. “It’s been proven. We had two great days of practice going into the Illinois game (an 83-67 OSU win Tuesday)

and that’s why I was so upset yesterday in practice because it wasn’t where it needed to be. “The guys have got to look at themselves in the mirror and come back and get ready to go.” Poor team practices have occurred too much this season and the Buckeyes need to learn from the losses that result from them, sophomore guard Aaron Craft said. “It’s not a secret,” Craft said. “Leaving the practice gym you know if we practiced well as a team or if we didn’t. We’ve had that feeling (that we didn’t) probably a little too much than we should have, but once again we have to find a way to learn from it. We have to find a way to move on and refocus and keep our heads up.” Sophomore forward DeShaun Thomas, who had a game-high 23 points in the loss to the Badgers, said the team needs to rally around each other going forward. “It all comes down to maturity and talking to each other, you know, helping each other out,” Thomas said. “That’s what it’s all about. Somebody’s got to step up and just be that guy to say, ‘This is enough,’ and bring us all together.” Craft said there is still enough time for the Buckeyes to come together before postseason play. “We are getting to the end of the season, but there’s still time to get better,” Craft said. “We’re still learning, we’re a young team. I think we can figure it out still.” OSU finishes regular season play this week with two road games: Wednesday at Northwestern and Sunday at Michigan State.

Some former Ohio State football players traveled to Indianapolis this weekend to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine. Offensive linemen Mike Brewster and Mike Adams, running back Daniel “Boom” Herron and wide receiver DeVier Posey all went through a variety of drills in front of NFL scouts to try and boost their NFL Draft stock. Posey measured 6-foot-2 and weighed 211 pounds on the scale. A state-champion sprinter in high school, Posey ran the 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds, posted a 36.5-inch vertical jump and managed 14 reps in the bench press. He tweeted about his performance from his Twitter account, @DPo8, Sunday. “Happy the combine is over and satisfied with my performance,” Posey tweeted. Herron was 5-foot-10 and weighed 213 pounds. He ran a 4.66 second 40-yard dash and got 22 reps

on the bench press. He also posted the second best time for running backs, 4.04 seconds, in the 20-yard shuttle, which measures speed and change of direction over a short distance. Adams has the size of a prototypical NFL left tackle at 6-foot-7 and 323 pounds, and many project him as a first-round draft selection. Adams ran a 5.40 second 40-yard dash and had 19 reps on the bench press. Posey, Herron and Adams were all involved in NCAA violations at OSU and served suspensions during the 2011-12 season. Posey was suspended for a total of 10 games, Herron was suspended for six and Adams was suspended for five. The Buckeyes finished the season with a 6-7 record. Brewster was the only Buckeye to participate in the combine who was not involved in the NCAA scandal. Brewster weighed in at 312 pounds and measured 6-foot-2. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.35 seconds and had 29 reps in the bench press. The NFL Draft begins April 26 and ends on April 28.

Men’s ice hockey staggers across finish line, into CCHA playoffs Andrew Holleran Senior Lantern reporter holleran.9@osu.edu In a season full of ups and downs, Saturday night’s loss against Miami (Ohio) might have been the lowest point of all for the Ohio State men’s ice hockey team. The No. 17-ranked Buckeyes fell to the No. 15-ranked RedHawks, 5-1, on senior night in Columbus, Ohio, in front of 8,404 fans at the Schottenstein Center. The loss caps a second half of the season that saw OSU nearly sink its postseason chances after being ranked as high as No. 2 in the country. Miami scored three first-period goals and added two more in the second period on the way to victory. Freshman defenseman Al McLean scored the lone goal for OSU. OSU senior goalie Cal Heeter let five shots get past him before he eventually finished his final home game as a Buckeye on the bench after junior Brady Hjelle replaced him midway through the second stanza. Miami (21-13-2, 15-11-2-1) shut OSU (15-13-5, 11-12-5-1) out, 3-0, in Oxford, Ohio, Friday night to secure home ice in the first round of the CCHA playoffs. With the loss, the Buckeyes ended up ninth in the conference and will travel to the No. 8-seed Notre Dame, for a best-of-three series this weekend. OSU, which was leading the CCHA by seven points at the beginning of January, finished its final 14 games with a 1-9-4 record. “Home-ice advantage is huge in the playoffs,” said OSU senior defenseman Sean Duddy. “We’ve been

on both sides of that. It’s definitely tough to go on the road but it’s a new season starting next week. Anything can happen in the playoffs.” Saturday night, Duddy, Heeter and fellow seniors, forwards Danny Dries, who didn’t play because of an ankle injury, and Cory Schneider, were honored pre-game. President E. Gordon Gee dropped the ceremonial first puck after the senior festivities were complete. Miami didn’t take long to put a damper on the Buckeyes’ night. RedHawk freshman forward Jimmy Mullin scored 43 seconds into the game as he skated past OSU freshman defenseman Justin DaSilva and slid the puck past Heeter, tallying on Miami’s first shot of the game. The Buckeyes responded with a goal from McLean at 8:45 in a 5-on-3 power play after OSU was buzzing in Miami’s zone for minutes. McLean got the puck just inside the blue line and fired from the right point to beat RedHawk senior goalie Connor Knapp. OSU continued to play well on offense, but defensive lapses allowed Miami to continue to score in the second half of the first period. The RedHawks scored twice more in the opening stanza, and took a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. “It was not the start we wanted,” coach Mark Osiecki said. “I thought our guys came out and competed. I think we competed right from the get-go. Obviously you don’t like to see the first shot go in the net. That doesn’t set a great tone but our guys competed. The first period I thought we were ready to go and competed. Unfortunately they found a way to score three goals.”

OSU freshman forward Darik Angeli trips during a game against Northern Michigan Nov. 11, 2011. OSU won, 4-1. The second period was more of what occurred after the midway point in the first stanza. Miami freshman forward Austin Czarnik scored twice for the RedHawks to build a 5-1 lead in the second stanza. The first goal came from the left post at 8:23 after Mullin slid him the puck close to the net. The second came on a shorthanded breakaway at 10:06 after Czarnick got free while OSU was on the power play and beat Heeter. “We struggled (in the defensive) zone,” Duddy said. “Pucks were bouncing off our sticks. Guys were forcing things. We just didn’t do a good enough job.” Heeter was pulled after Miami’s fifth goal, and Osiecki said it was

tough replacing him in what was the senior’s final game on Schottenstein Center ice as a student-athlete. “Certainly he didn’t have his ‘A’ game tonight,” Osiecki said. “I didn’t want to pull him out being a senior, and he needs to run with it. You’re feeling badly for him, and all of a sudden a couple more go in and it’s like, ‘Hey, get out of there.’ He’s our guy. He’s played tremendously well and he’s got to get regrouped for next weekend.” The third period saw neither team score. The Buckeyes were outshot, 33-23. OSU will travel to South Bend, Ind., to play the Fighting Irish in the first round of the CCHA playoffs starting Friday.

WE’RE INVESTING IN THE BUCKEYE NATION. TM

PROUD TO BE THE OFFICIAL CONSUMER BANK OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. We’ve been serving the Ohio State community since the University was founded in 1870. And now, 142 years later, we’re officially becoming Buckeyes. So what does it mean to be OSU’s official consumer bank? For starters, we’re giving the school $25 million for scholarships and other university investments. We’re also lending $100 million to businesses in and around the University District. Best of all, when you do business with us, a portion of the revenue goes back to Ohio State. We’re proud of our Buckeye ties, and we can’t wait for our next couple of centuries together.
