Students across campus Tuesday slipped and tumbled their way to classes they thought should have been canceled. “I slipped on ice today, and my boyfriend, and my roommate (did too),” said Tania Sherry, a firstyear graduate student in rural sociology. “It took a long time to scrape ice off of my car. My professor was very supportive, but it would be better if OSU canceled classes overall.” After Facilities Operations and Development workers and Transportation and Parking maintenance workers spent most of the day removing ice, Ohio State’s Columbus campus canceled Tuesday’s evening classes. OSU followed other Ohio universities that issued class cancellations. Kent State University, the University of Dayton and Denison University canceled all Tuesday

A suspected gas leak caused faculty and students to evacuate Sullivant Hall at about 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Jane Ledford-Adkins, an administrative associate and employee at Sullivant, pulled the fire alarm after she smelled the gas coming into her office. “We all thought it was very strange,” LedfordAdkins said. “I walked out of my office and everyone else was out in the hall. I looked at them and said, ‘Better safe than sorry.’” Strong scents of gas filled the air on High Street late into the afternoon as fire trucks and Columbia Gas of Ohio vehicles responded to the pulled alarm.

U.S. Rep. Stivers visits OSU to push federal budget cuts Cor y Shaffer Lantern reporter shaffer.294@osu.edu U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers called for cuts in spending during his visit to Ohio State Tuesday to tour the Center for Automotive Research and meet with university officials. Stivers, a freshman Republican representing Columbus, echoed President Barack Obama’s calls in his second State of the Union Address for investment in education, infrastructure and technology, but also emphasized job creation and curtailing government spending. “The problem is, the government is not making investments,” Stivers said. “We’re spending money on current expenditures. Education is one of those things that I think is partially an investment.”

Ohio State no longer has the largest student enrollment on a single campus, but that doesn’t mean the university’s student population is decreasing. According to OSU’s Winter Quarter 15th Day Enrollment Report, the university’s total population for all campuses increased 2.5 percent compared to winter 2010. OSU’s main campus holds 54,351 students, while the four regional campuses hold a combined total of 7,607 students, according to the report. OSU trails Arizona State University, which has a spring 2011 enrollment of nearly 66,000 students, and University of Central Florida, which has a fall 2010 enrollment of 56,236 students. With regional campus enrollment included, OSU ranks second with 61,958 students. Central Florida has an enrollment plan that looks at enrollment projections by year, whereas OSU does analysis each quarter.

Jeff Goines, a second-year in psychology, watches his footing as he walks past the construction near 12th avenue and high Street on Saturday.
Former String Shoppe getting makeover TrenT Bar Ter Lantern reporter barter.1@osu.edu Construction on a new facility next to the Newport on High Street between 12th Avenue and 13th Avenue will be in full swing in the coming weeks. On the site of the former String Shoppe, the construction has been underway since demolition began in the middle of December, said John Bentley, president and owner of the construction company Bentley Commercial Enterprises Inc. The building does not yet have tenants, but discussions have started with nationally represented businesses. “We’re looking for a retail, mix-use. Maybe a restaurant, maybe a dry goods retailer,” said Alexandra Schiff, a construction coordinator also involved in seeking tenants. Attorney Scott Schiff purchased the property from the String Shoppe building six months ago. The business had owned the property previously for roughly 50 years, Schiff said. According to the Franklin County Auditor’s website, the property was purchased June 30 of last year for $700,000.
The idea for the project began at the urging of Scott Schiff’s son, Zachary Schiff, a fourth-year in communication at Ohio State. “I’ve grown up here my entire life, so I know the campus,” Zachary said. Keeping business in the family, Zachary has been involved with the design of the building as well as hiring the architect and contractor involved in the process. “This is going to work. It’s such a great location, it’s got to work,” Zachary said. The Schiff family has a history of buying property along High Street in the University District. They own several locations, including the building near Lane Avenue that houses Radio Shack, Noodles & Company and UniversiTees, and the Urban Outfitters and Starbucks locations near 14th Avenue and High Street. “We’ve got a history on High Street of taking dilapidated buildings and renovating them,” said Alexandra, Scott’s daughter. Bentley Commercial Enterprises Inc., the contracted company, specializes in rehabilitating old buildings and retail centers in particular, Bentley said. There have been discussions about the possibility of a bank branch opening at the construction site.
The new building will most likely hold three tenants, Schiff said. The Schiffs won’t know who those tenants are until the end of March. Although the University Area Commission has to approve the design, Bentley said, the facade of the new facility will be familiar to students. “We’re trying to make it similar to the new student Union,” Schiff said. The facade will have brick similar to that on the Union. For now however, it is draped with tarps, as construction has been underway for about a “week and a half,” Bentley said. The project will take roughly 90 to 100 days, Bentley said. The winter weather puts some adverse effects on the construction workers as space heaters and tents are brought in. “The winter time adds a little extra challenge,” Bentley said. “On average it adds about three to four weeks to a normal project.” Once the tenants are chosen, there will be some alterations to the construction project. Businesses in the building will be up and running by May 1, Alexandra said. “We have a bunch of leases out right now,” Zachary said. “We’re just waiting to hear back.
College Road between 11th and 12th avenues will stay closed until Feb. 18, despite estimates the construction would be completed Monday. Project manager Cihangir Calis cited several unforeseen setbacks for the delay, including the discovery of an abandoned section of utility tunnel. The road construction is connected to the renovation of the south campus residence halls. The total cost of the south campus dorm renovation project is $171 million, said Calis. “Due to the scope and complexity of the South High-Rises Renovation and Addition project, construction contingency dollars were allocated to cover any unforeseen conditions,” Calis said. The sidewalks on the east side of College Road will be open while sidewalks on the west side will stay closed. The only open entrance to Drinko Hall will be from 11th Avenue. Projected completion of South Campus High-Rise Renovation is Autumn Quarter 2013.

Cold temperatures could have caused the gas line break Columbus firefighters on the scene declined to comment about the leak. Faculty and students were granted re-entry to the building at about 4:10 p.m. No other buildings along High Street were evacuated. David Covey, a faculty member in the Ohio State dance department, said firefighters told him three other buildings called Columbus fire with the same complaint. “I heard that you could smell it coming down the street,” Covey said. “They said that a gas line broke because of the cold temperatures.” Minutes after the firefighters left, Columbia Gas showed up to inspect the gas lines at Sullivant as well as other shops along High Street, including Brenen’s Cafe. Workers for Columbia Gas declined to comment
on what caused the leak, but simply said they were responding to a call about a possible gas leak. Two white Columbia Gas trucks were stationed on High Street between Sullivant Hall and McDonald’s. Nick Wilkenson, a library associate at Sullivant, was working when the alarm was Jane ledford-adkins pulled. “I was really concerned about the concentration of gas in the building,” Wilkenson said. “A few of our faculty members started to get lightheaded and I was beginning to get a headache because of how strong it was.” The Columbus Division of Fire has not released any information about the leak. Lt. David Sawyer, head of community relations for Columbus fire, said more information will be available early today.

Enrollment from 1A
International students make up 17.2 percent of population The 15th Day Report shows the continued growth in the student population as the university experienced in autumn, said Gail Stephenoff, director of OSU’s Office of Enrollment Services. The report addresses a breakdown in enrollment figures and percentages for each OSU campus, ethnicity, gender, state and college within the university. Each quarter, OSU’s Office of Enrollment Services aims to find a balance between the desired size and mix of the student population with the university resources to serve the students, Stephenoff said. “The vice president for strategic enrollment planning establishes targets for autumn new freshmen and transfers with input from various constituencies,” Stephenoff said. “Off-quarter enrollment is generally a function of autumn numbers and are estimated for university budget planning purposes.” With the largest student enrollment in the country, ASU deploys a number of enrollment
strategies to ensure the school is diverse geographically and ethnically, said Kent Hopkins, vice provost for enrollment management. “Our goal is to make sure that we have facilities and programs to provide all qualified Arizona students with access to high quality education,” Hopkins said. Gordon Chavis, associate vice president of undergraduate admissions and student financial assistance at UCF, said, “We are interested in quality enrollment growth that ranges between 2 percent to 3 percent each year.” While there are 511 more in-state students than a year ago, there are almost 335 more out-of-state students compared to winter 2011. The greatest percentage of non-Ohio enrollment comes from the international student population, with an increase of 17.2 percent. In terms of ethnicity, the report shows an increase of 209 Hispanic students for the combined campuses — a 13.8 increase from winter 2010. OSU’s Office of Enrollment expected to see an increase in the various enrollment categories compared to last year because increased enrollment targets and higher retention rates are in OSU’s enrollment plan.
Ice from 1A
FOD crews started ice removal at 3 a.m. classes, and Miami University canceled classes after 2 p.m. OSU main campus’ move also followed OSU’s Marion, Newark and Delaware campuses, which were closed Tuesday. “I live close to my classes. But, for the commuters who live far away, I feel bad. I had trouble today on 16th (Avenue) with ice,” said Dina Hocevar, a third-year in strategic communications. Students and professors alike had trouble with the icy conditions. “After two painful falls I went back inside to check the weather and realized that things were not going to change substantially in the next couple of hours,” said Rebecca Wanzo, a professor in the English and women’s studies departments, in an e-mail. “I e-mailed my students and contacted my department to tell them that my class was cancelled.” As of Tuesday evening, about 45 people were admitted to the OSU Medical Center Tuesday for injuries related to slipping and falling from ice, said Eileen Scahill, medical center spokeswoman. FOD works with Transportation and Parking and the university to decide whether a school cancellation should be considered. “The ice started pretty much in the commuting hour,” said Sarah Blouch, director of traffic, parking and transportation. “Our question is ‘can we make the campus safe?’ The roads are great, we just don’t get that volume in parking lots.” FOD crews began working at 3 a.m. in preparation for ice, said Peter Calamari, assistant director of FOD. Transportation and Parking members began at 5 a.m., Blouch said. The two departments focus on specific

The unusual amount of ice with no snow caused some problems for FOD workers. “Ice is the worst,” said Timothy Murray, FOD groundskeeper. “It’s everywhere, so we really have to prioritize slopes. We need more workers too; it’s a big campus.” A lack of salt posed another obstacle. “The problem is we don’t normally do a lot of salting, so we don’t have the equipment.
Stivers from 1A
Stivers toured OSU’s Center for Automotive Research Stivers and many Congressional republicans are pushing for $100 billion in cuts to the federal budget, and he acknowledges they will be painful. But the goal, he said, is to spread the cuts across enough programs so as to not have a crushing effect on any one group. “I think if you ask these people if the programs they want the money for are important enough to take money away from their kids and grandkids, most people would say no,” he said. OSU is facing cuts in both federal and state funding, as Gov. John Kasich attempts to balance a budget with an expected $8 billion gap. Stivers, who received his MBA from OSU in 1996, said funding for state colleges comes mostly from the state, tuition and private endowments. But reapportioning money from other sources, such as the Workforce Development Training Fund, can overcome effects of the cuts. “That’s federal money that we could infuse into colleges because colleges and universities do create workforce training,” Stivers said. “I think there are things we can do to create opportunity even though we’re going to be cutting back.” Stivers toured OSU’s Center for Automotive Research, which he said is proof that investments in research and education can lead to job creation, citing CAR’s research into battery technology, electric motorcycle racing program, the EcoCar and the Buckeye Bullet, the world’s fastest electric car. “There’s a real opportunity to take that research and turn it into
We only have one truck with a saltbox,” Blouch said. “There’s usually not a need, but this was an unusual glaze of ice.” With more than 23,000 surface parking spaces, the Transportation and Parking Department is bringing in three contracted companies for ice removal early Wednesday morning. Contracted companies for salting and snow and ice removal are commonplace and FOD allows the contractors the flexibility of managing their own workers, Clark said. “With additional ice accumulation possible, there could be some hazardous walking and driving conditions in the morning,” said Andrew Snyder, Meteorologist for National Weather Service. Katie Huston, Rick Schanz, Ally Marotti and Emily Spencer contributed to this story.
jobs,” Stivers said. “The things they’re doing are going to keep Ohio at the forefront of auto manufacturing in the future.” U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, said in a Jan. 25 conference call that the state’s automotive industry produces the second most vehicles of any state and fuels Ohio’s gross domestic product. “There is not a corner of this state that doesn’t have a company making components for automobiles likely to go into Chrysler or GM cars,” Brown said. Brown said innovations in automobile manufacturing and green technology will create “21st century jobs in Ohio, that will stay in Ohio.” Sean C. Ewing is the leader of the Buckeye Electric Motorcycle Racing Team at CAR, and agrees the work he does there is going to improve Ohio’s manufacturing economy. “We’re breaking grounds on new technologies on a daily basis,” said Ewing, a fourth-year in electrical and computer engineering. “It shouldn’t have any problem boosting jobs at all.” Stivers said jobs based on the kind of innovative research at CAR will transform the economy from one based on labor to information, and that businesses will lead the way. “We recognize that the jobs of the future aren’t going to be created by government,” Stivers said. Stivers said the uncertain economic climate resulting from the 2008 recession has led businesses to save revenues instead of using them to expand operations and create more jobs. Lowering corporate tax rates and easing government regulations, he said, will embolden businesses to withdraw some of those funds. “We want to give them a chance to actually use that money they’re sitting on to create jobs,” Stivers said.

Egyptian American Association members protest at 15th Avenue and High Street to support Egyptians’ human rights on Jan. 18.
Qualify your perspective about Egypt uprising hany rashw an Lantern columnist
rashwan.1@osu.edu In the past week, there have been numerous opinions on the situation unfolding in Egypt. Of those, many — including one piece in The Lantern on Monday — have questioned whether these mass protests will be capable of bringing out true change that the West might find acceptable. Or, as Michael Jaskot’s Lantern piece said, there’s “not a chance” that “these protesters spark enough drive to replace the regime and establish a transparent democracy capable of earning the respect of the Western world.” Aside from the factual errors, as an Egyptian American, I think that’s simply the wrong way to look at it. Having been both born and raised in Egypt, I’ve had the displeasure of seeing first-hand what the situation for the average Egyptian is like. We’re fortunate in this country that we haven’t had to contemplate what life under a corrupt authoritarian regime would be like. As much as some of us can choose to disagree with President Barack Obama, we still operate under the rule of law with a balance of power. The mere fact that we can disagree strongly and openly against the government only goes to show just how fortunate our situation really is. So, picture the opposite for a second.
Imagine a country where the police officer wields an astounding amount of power and clout. In this country, any random person on any random street can be picked up, quite randomly, on the orders of any police officer just because they want to. They can then be held, without charge, in any arbitrary location for any amount of time. This system, called the Emergency Law system, has been in place for the past 30 years. Now, imagine that this same country features a large disparity between the very rich and the very poor. As a few businessmen have a disproportionate control on the economy, about 20 percent of the country lives on less than $2 a day, according to the World Bank, and roughly 33 percent of the population is illiterate, according to the United Nations Development Programme. That is how we should think of Egypt and its uprisings. It’s a despicable situation that would easily cause any of us to act out in a similar way, demanding simple freedoms and rights. I think the main problem is that sometimes we tend to speak from a high pedestal, as we take many things for granted. That then takes the humanity out of the equation. For the record, I honestly don’t think Egypt’s relationship with the West will be hugely affected by this. Egypt and Israel have always been two of America’s best friends in the region, and that’s because of a number of economic and political factors that
aren’t going to go away under an Egyptian democracy. If you look at the people in these protests, they’re disproportionately young and coming from all walks of life. Just as you have the ones that sympathize with some religiously conservative political parties, there’s an even bigger number of those that don’t. Churches, alongside mosques, have been organizing aid and other help to these protesters. The people on the streets don’t all belong to one specific religion, gender or party affiliation. They’re as diverse as Egypt is, representing men, women, youths, seniors, Christians, Muslims, the ultra conservatives, and the strong liberals. In short, they’re not a specific group; they’re simply the Egyptian people acting out, after having been fed up of tyranny, dictatorship and the lack of human dignity. As the fervent supporter of democracy in the world, we should stand alongside the Egyptians. If not politically, at least support their personal quest for freedom, which relates to how many countries in the West protested against their own dictatorships. A free, just, democratic Egypt will be good for everyone. It will be a positive addition to the world. As simple human beings, we should find it in our common humanity to support their freedom of choice, regardless of who they’d like to use their voting powers to elect.
US a nation of opportunity – for some
DORO THY POWELL powell.447@osu.edu rights to elect their government or speak freely. And so millions of people, from third world countries as well as industrialized countries, enter the U.S. every year to become legal permanent residents or to study and work within our borders. All of these people recognize that the U.S. offers something that their home nations do not, whether it is civil liberties, a better education, or a particular job. They see something in this country that inspires them to leave their homes and families (something that’s hard to do, even when you’re just moving two states away for college, as I did) and seek something here. Every year, however, millions more are turned away, denied
their green cards and visas and told, though not in so many words, that their dreams and ambitions are not as worthy as someone else’s. At the end of 2003, for example, more than 5 million immigrant petitions were still pending, while just more than one million were accepted, according to a Congressional Research Service report from February 2004. This country offers so much to its citizens and always has. The promise of opportunity in America has drawn immigrants for hundreds of years. So why are we surprised when people bypass our long, drawn-out immigration process, which ends in failure more often than not, and enter our country without visas or green cards, or stay past the expiration of their visas? There are so many honest, hardworking people who try to do the best thing for themselves and for their families by moving to this country — a country made great by immigrants and the descendents of immigrants. We should open our arms and our borders to the people who value our country enough to risk everything to come here, and who see our country for the land of opportunity it is. To turn down immigrants is to deny our country fresh ideas and new perspectives, and to dishonor our immigrant ancestors.

Dim future in store for Edison’s lightbulb In our shared human existence, few things unfailingly provide us all equal comfort. Indeed, the lingering smell of freshly baked bread, a handwritten postcard intended specifically for us (no matter if sent by our excessively chatty Aunt Mildred), or the warm glow effused from our lamp when we settle into our favorite read all give us a unifying cozy solace. Woefully, I must inform you that the hindmost delight has an impending end. Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb, which has reigned as the faithful provider of natural light for the past 130 years, is approaching its federally mandated retirement. California, America’s designated eco-state, is expected to be the first state to cease production of Edison’s bulbs in accordance with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. In a similar spirit, Ikea, ever the symbol of budgetfriendly modernity, halted the sale of incandescents on Jan. 4 — the first major United States retailer to do so. Rewinding to 2007, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act that legislated a higher lumens per watt standard, a measure of luminous efficacy. Yet, rather than prohibiting the purchase of comparatively inefficient

Last week, a very good friend of mine became an American citizen. She’s been living in the United States for almost a decade, since she moved here in high school. Last Tuesday, I watched her swear an oath to her new country, and it really got me thinking: In order to obtain the same rights I have, she has sworn to forfeit her past citizenship, defend the U.S. (including serve in the armed forces if called upon), and that she will be an active and participatory citizen. Now, my memories of the day I was born are a little fuzzy, but I do not recall making such an oath. I was lucky enough to be born in the U.S., and as a result, I get all sorts of perks. There are countries I can travel to without a visa, I can vote, and I’m not in any danger of getting booted out of the country I’ve lived in my whole life because of a flaw in my paperwork. There are millions of people in this country who are not lucky enough to say the same for themselves. Obviously, American citizenship is not the only way to enjoy freedom, and I’m sure the citizens of most industrialized countries would be insulted if I were to claim otherwise. But there are countries whose citizens are not afforded the basic rights that American citizens are, like the
The young and ever vibrant United States had passed through 11 long years since its independence, yet to be recognized or find a country willing to put its political weight behind a formal acknowledgment of our new republic. After sacrifice of its resources, efforts and most sanctified of all, souls of honorable men and women for a noble cause, not a single state would formally recognize our people as a nation, an entity to be seen, to be heard, nor to be respected. The age of our nation was treated in a manner equitable to a similar age adolescent child, as incompetent and insignificant. However, we all came to know that it was those who discounted and disdained the United States who were the ones lacking competence. They did not comprehend men with fiery demands that bellowed from deep within the hearts of Americans, “Give me liberty or give me death!” It was too perplexing, too obscure and far too distant to fight for the rights endowed by the divine. And if there were no restraints in terms of ideology the hesitation came from fear of agitating the tyrant from whom they wrenched their freedom. It was not until 1787 that a king in a distant land, who led a monarchy mind you, not a democracy, decided that the ideals for which our forefathers died for were noble enough to base a legitimate state. Sultan Mohammad III of Morocco, before giving formal recognition to the U.S., had even safeguarded ships sailing from the Atlantic by way of official treaty that still remains today the longest standing unbroken treaty. Today, in the same region of the world, North Africa, millions have finally become enabled in spirit and courage to fight against corruption, torture and oppression. Tunisians and Egyptians today are fighting for the very same freedom and rights to self determination, that a president who will remain nameless had declared two wars for. Like the tree that has weathered a long storm with relentless winds that push its trunk to the brink of snapping in two, so have the backs of Egyptians fared the heavy iron fist of their merciless tyrant. But in the same way so, too, did their backs become stronger and evermore vigilant, finally mustering strength to throw their hands in the air signaling enough! Like the patriots who established our country, the people of Egypt endured long periods of tyranny and tried to make demands of reform
but similarly, once the tyranny took root there was no way of curbing it except by wrenching it and sowing a new seed of liberty where the void arose. Where the Egyptian police force once was present instilling fear and injustice, citizens have banded together to secure their neighborhoods, businesses and people from the criminals the government had set loose. Where the government had failed in providing proper health care, compassionate Egyptian health professionals are now volunteering their efforts to treat their brothers. Where the Egyptian government was absent in the maintenance of its streets, footage is now available of Egyptians taking responsibility for their care. Where the Egyptian government starved its population, benevolent hearts are freely donating to feed them. However, one major root has yet to be uprooted and that is the head of this treacherous tyranny, Hosni Mubarak. Jan. 25, 2011, is Egypt’s July, 4, 1776. Their men, willing to die in contest of this ruthless rule, are their Patrick Henry, and it was from our President Barack Obama’s speech in their very own capital of Cairo that they drew some inspiration for their demands when he said: “You must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise; you must place the interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party.” But sadly it seems that Obama and his cabinet have taken a slightly different rhetoric about an arbitrary “stability,” which really is a shadowing of other political interests we have in the region. This should draw the question from every American in this context: Have we compromised our ideals of liberty and justice for all? Or is it that we have chosen to distance and alienate from the very bane of our American ideology so that we can gain favor with another political ally? What happened to the promise of hope our president ran upon? Is that hope forbidden from being granted to the Egyptian people? Were the words in Obama’s speech to the Egyptian people a bait-switch? Or is it that we as Americans have forgotten that we were once in the same feeble position yearning for recognition, and that a North African nation was willing to give it? So now that a North African nation clambering for a taste of liberty is in our several-hundred-year-old position, why do we refuse them?
AN USREE GAR G garg.30@osu.edu incandescent light bulbs, the EISA only illegalized their manufacture. This detail presents a loophole, allowing cunning consumers to ship incandescents from abroad. A slew of countries, including Australia, the Philippines and Cuba, have already greenified their light usage. Most notably, the European Union began phasing out inefficient bulbs in 2009, after which the incandescent ban movement became decidedly en vogue. The Obama-backed EISA requires that all other states must follow in California’s progressive footsteps by 2012. Notwithstanding the potential loss of aesthetics, this act has been ratified for good reason. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy claims that the direct outcome of the legislation will be an emissions reduction of 50.7 million metric
tons of CO2 by 2030 and perhaps more immediately memorable will save consumers $2.74 billion. Despite these easily apparent benefits, EISA, admittedly, affects my rationale less and my disposition more. The fluorescence above my head in the Science and Engineering Library at Ohio State makes the future seem ironically dreary. Personally, studying in this neon-esque obscene brightness is more reminiscent of a stark laboratory than a place conducive to inspired thought — one that the Dickensian subtle glow of incandescents merrily provides. We have persistently depended on Edison’s endearingly simple design (heating a metal filament until it glows) for more than two centuries, a high feat for a 19th century invention. Its presence has even infiltrated our cartoons — the quintessential symbol of an idea. Before replacing all the light bulbs of Mickey’s eureka moments with the squiggly bulb shape of a fluorescent, let us ensure that the incandescent’s memory (pardon this) burns bright. And thus, in gesture of a cheery send-off, I, for one, will be at Lowe’s hoarding these dear bulbs. And unless you do the same, you will soon find yourself in a competitive auction bid on eBay, in quest for incandescents — the next vintage novelty.

Senior forward David L ighty takes a shot from behind the arc during Ohio State’s 70-48 victory against Iowa on Jan. 19.
And then there was 1 Top-ranked Buckeyes keeping focus on remaining Big Ten opponents, not on goose egg in the loss column ben axelrod Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu In 2002, it took Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel 14 games to complete his only undefeated season at the school. OSU basketball coach Thad Matta has kept his team undefeated through its first 22 games this season, and is now finding himself jealous of the length of his football counterpart’s season. “Coach Tressel and I were texting, I don’t know, a week or so ago,” Matta said. “I said, ‘Be thankful you only have 13 of these as opposed to them coming at you like this.’” With their 22-0 record, Matta’s Buckeyes are the only undefeated team remaining in college basketball this season, an accomplishment that was reflected in Monday’s polls — OSU was a unanimous first-place selection in both The Associated Press’ Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll. Though the Buckeyes still have half of their conference schedule ahead of them, as well as the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, Matta said remaining
undefeated at this point in the season is an accomplishment in and of itself. “We’re the only team that’s still undefeated,” Matta said. “It’s such a long season, and I think that’s one of the great challenges.” OSU junior guard William Buford agreed with Matta that remaining unbeaten can be viewed as an achievement, as well as a vindication for preparation both before and during the season. “It’s kind of amazing,” Buford said. “It lets us know that all the hard work has paid off.” Buford said the key to the Buckeyes’ undefeated streak has been ignoring the big picture, and focusing on each task at hand. “We just take one game at a time,” he said. “We try to get better and better, day by day.” Matta said the Buckeyes have remained so focused on each step ahead of them that he doesn’t think they know how many games they’ve won this season. As for the team knowing how many losses they have — that’s a different story. “They do know that; I know that for sure,” Matta said. “I mean, you have six
freshmen who have never lost a college game.” One of those freshmen is forward Deshaun Thomas, who said he doesn’t get as excited after a win as he did earlier in the season. “I used to get all hyped ’cause I was a freshman, but now it’s just on to the next one,” Thomas said. “It’s not over; we still got a long season.” The second half of the Big Ten schedule isn’t likely to be any easier than the first was for the Buckeyes. They still have road games against ranked Purdue, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as a home game against Illinois, which led OSU by as many as eight points in the second half of their Jan. 22 matchup. Matta said he knows it’s going to take the Buckeyes’ best effort each night for them to remain undefeated. “I think our guys understand now that this is for real,” Matta said. “On any given night, if we don’t play well, we’re not going to like the outcome.” OSU will look to advance to 23-0 on Thursday when it hosts Michigan, which the Buckeyes beat, 68-64, on Jan. 12 in Ann Arbor, Mich. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
2-time national champion continues legacy at OSU danny hicks Lantern reporter hicks.361@osu.edu With two National Championships and 107 match wins for Ohio State, J Jaggers accomplished more in wrestling than he ever dreamed he would. After leading an athletic career full of personal achievement, Jaggers is seeking more. “When you’re at this level of wrestling,” Jaggers said, “wrestling is your life. Every night before I go to bed, I think about wrestling and how to get the Buckeyes better. … Every morning, the first thing on my mind is get the Buckeyes better.” After graduating from OSU in 2009, Jaggers, who wrestled at 141 pounds, became a volunteer assistant to coach Tom Ryan that April. After assistant coach Joe Heskett left the Buckeyes to coach at West Point, Jaggers was promoted to full-time assistant. “I’ve wanted to coach college wrestling my whole life,” Jaggers said. Jaggers brings youth to the coaching staff, so he can relate to the athletes. Having graduated in 2009, Jaggers is coaching some former teammates. Among them is redshirt junior captain Sean Nemec, who plays golf with Jaggers. Though the two are friends, Nemec said he knows there is a fine line between friend and coach when it comes to training. “He is the coach, and you have to respect that,” Nemec said. “At the same time I don’t talk to them any different; it’s mainly in the wrestling room.” Jaggers said he knows he made mistakes as a team leader when he competed but that he is trying to make up for those mistakes. “I had blinders on a little bit. I was so focused on accomplishing my goal, I didn’t maybe groom along and help the young kids, instill the way I worked in them,” he

said. “Now I’m telling them what to do, which can be a little difficult. Sometimes they don’t want to hear it.” Ryan said he values the knowledge a former national champion brings to the table, as it’s rare for former successful athletes to be able to translate their skills into good coaching. “Sometimes you run into guys who were incredible talents, incredible wrestlers or whatever sport they participated in, and really can’t relay any information in a good coaching fashion,” Ryan said. “J is an outstanding teacher.” Nemec said the best lesson he’s learned from Jaggers came from witnessing what the former Buckeye wrestler went through after winning his first National Championship in 2008. “After his National Championship, the next year in the beginning he was struggling,” Nemec said. “He somehow found a way to turn it around and win another title. You learn a lot from being around guys like that and just watching them.” While Jaggers said he hopes one day to become head coach of a college wrestling program, his short-term goal is to be an effective leader for the Buckeyes. “My goal is to get the Buckeyes to compete better,” he said, “and have a good performance at the NCAA (championships).” Jaggers said he also would like to help the OSU wrestlers accomplish something they never have as a team: win a National Championship. “Long-term (goal) is to win the nationals,” Jaggers said. “That should always be the goal here at Ohio State.” Jaggers said wrestling has become more than a sport to him. “It’s been the most influential piece of my life, obviously,” he said. “It has brought me to where I am in my career. And most of the relationships I hold to the highest value are because of the sport of wrestling.”

Oversigning. It’s when a school signs more recruits than it has roster spots available. The gods of college football’s recruiting gluttony? The SEC. Today is National Signing Day, college football’s version of the NFL Draft. However, instead of the pro teams picking players, the players choose their schools. The NFL Draft is spaced out over three days. ESPNU has dedicated 10 straight hours to coverage of Signing Day. There’s no such thing as excess when it comes to football in this country. Schools are allotted 85 total players on scholarship at a given time. Last year the SEC implemented a rule limiting its teams to 28 signees between Signing Day and May 31. The rule, now adopted by the NCAA, isn’t being strictly enforced. One reason schools are circumventing the rule is the spacing of the two dates. Auburn signed 32 players last year because it brought in five players, including Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton, in January. The Tigers had 27 players signed between February and May — one below the limit. According to a January Sports Illustrated report, LSU had to use more cutthroat methods in 2008. Coach Les Miles misjudged how many of his borderline academic qualifiers would become eligible. By summer’s end, Miles had to cut quarterback Chris Garrett because he had two more newcomers than available scholarships. He then had to tell signees Elliott Porter and Cameron Fordham — both of whom declined scholarship offers from other schools to accept Miles’ and LSU’s promise of playing football in Baton Rouge — that there wasn’t room for them. Porter had already moved into his dorm room and started classes when he received the news. The same report stated that eight of the 12 SEC schools had averaged 25 or more signees over the past five years. The website Oversigning. com, which chronicles the practice, lists six SEC schools projected to be over the scholarship limit following Signing Day. The leader of the clubhouse? Ole Miss, which has a projected 14 players over the limit. The website projects Ohio State, which is normally far from the oversigning hoopla, to be right at the 85-man limit following Signing Day. I love college football. I love the pageantry and the rivalries. I spend my Saturdays in the fall glued to the television. The sport dominates my life for a little more than three months. But this practice is bad belly fat on the sport. The presidents and athletic directors of every school around the country — not just those in the SEC — need to step up, show some accountability and actually police the guilty coaches. Whether it’s stricter NCAA laws or a shake weight for SEC schools, something has to be done.

Many students grew up watching animated Disney classics, and around the winter holidays some families attend classical ballets like “The Nutcracker.” BalletMet Columbus’ artistic director Gerard Charles combined both pastimes to create a ballet people of all ages could enjoy, “Cinderella.” “It’s very funny, but also a beautiful classical ballet,” said Jennifer Sciantarelli, the communications manager at BalletMet. “It’s a familiar fairy tale told through, for many people, a new medium.” Charles took pieces from the traditional fairy tale of “Cinderella” and pieces from the non-traditional “Cinderella” ballets. “I did a lot of research on different versions of Cinderella,” Charles said. “But I pretty much stayed close to the traditional fairy tale part of it.” In his version, Charles removed Cinderella’s father to make the character a stronger girl. He also cast a male to dance the role of the stepmother, which makes her appear more menacing. Emily Gotschall is one of the company dancers performing the role

Rumors swirled this week that America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift, might be coming to Columbus on June 7. According to Swift’s website, she is scheduled to hit Columbus with her “Speak Now” tour during spring exams. She has not announced a venue yet. Leslie Lane, marketing director for the Schottenstein Center, said she will not confirm Swift is coming. “She has not announced yet,” Lane said. “There have been a bunch of rumors lately but we will know next week for sure.” Swift’s tour starts Feb. 9 in Singapore and ends Oct. 29 in Lexington, Ky., according to her website. The 21-year-old country star will be performing at 79 different locations and 13 of those are already sold out, according to her website. Ohio State students were pleased with the news. Krizzia Yanga, a second-year in international business, said she was excited.
“I think I heard about that and I’m actually kind of psyched,” Yanga said. “Depending on ticket prices, I may go.” Ryan Hubbard, a fourth-year in psychology, agreed with Yanga. “I think it’s so great she picked Columbus,” Hubbard said. “My 9-year-old niece absolutely loves her. So I may have to just invite her to campus for the concert.” Swift’s most recent album, “Speak Now,” came out on Oct. 25 and sold more than a million copies in its first week out. The album has sold about 4.4 million copies worldwide in 2010, and almost 2.96 million in the U.S. alone, according to Billboard.com. On Tuesday, the Academy of Country Music nominated Swift for four awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year and Album of the Year for artist and producer. She also won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Country Artist on Jan. 5. Swift was also named Billboard & Nielsen SoundScan’s top-selling artist of the year for the third consecutive year, according to her website. Swift last stopped in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center in 2009.

‘The Fighter’ boasts best bets for supporting Oscars
Oscar
analysis Part 1 of 4 Supporting actor & actress anDreWFFaCtor anDreW aCtor For The Lantern factor.24@osu.edu
“The Fighter” is going to dominate this year’s Supporting Actor and Actress categories at the Oscars. The nominees for Best Supporting Actress are Amy Adams in “The Fighter,” Helena Bonham Carter in “The King’s Speech,” Melissa Leo in “The Fighter,” Hailee Steinfeld in “True Grit” and Jacki Weaver in “Animal Kingdom.” This year’s Best Supporting Actress category will be, well, a fight between the women of the boxing movie “The Fighter.” Leo likely has the edge with her fiery performance as Alice Ward, the mother of Mark Wahlberg’s title character, but Adams also has a decent shot with her memorable performance as Charlene Fleming, the emotional center of the film. Steinfeld, the breakout star of “True Grit,” stands out in
this category because her performance really is the leading one of the film, but she was still relegated to supporting. Her performance is the one that drives this Western remake, and, in another “Fighter”less year, she would’ve had a decent shot at becoming another one of the young performers that the Academy loves to honor. Carter, as the queen mum in “The King’s Speech,” is delightful in her most normal performance in years. And Weaver, in a surprising nomination for the small but powerful Aussie crime drama “Animal Kingdom,” isn’t in enough of the movie to really have deserved the nomination, which should’ve gone to “Black Swan’s” Mila Kunis. Still, Weaver does what she can with a small amount of screen time. The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are Christian Bale in “The Fighter,”
John Hawkes in “Winter’s Bone,” Jeremy Renner in “The Town,” Mark Ruffalo in “The Kids Are All Right” and Geoffrey Rush in “The King’s Speech.” Bale, in a bravura turn as crackaddicted former boxer Dickie Eklund in “The Fighter,” is the obvious frontrunner for this award after dominating the pre-Oscar prizes, including the Golden Globes and SAG awards. Still, the category is filled with great performances that would have been very good contenders in other years. As the Australian speech coach Lionel Logue, Rush is the comic underpinning of “The King’s Speech.” Renner, memorable from last year’s Best Picture winner “The Hurt Locker,” turned in a bold performance in “The Town,” a drama, which Ben Affleck directed, that was snubbed for a Best Picture nomination this year. It’s nice to
see a nomination for Ruffalo, who is great as the sperm-donor father in “The Kids Are All Right.” Hawkes, as the protector of the teenage central character in “Winter’s Bone,” is gruff but endearing. The fact that Andrew Garfield of “The Social Network” wasn’t nominated in this category (as he easily should’ve been over Hawkes) is disappointing, but fairly irrelevant as this is essentially a category dominated by Bale and some also-rans.

btw Lantern CD reviews Martin’s new album Long can pull off shows improvement solo or group act R yan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Ricky Martin found himself at his most newsworthy a few months ago when he announced that he was gay. Despite the media distractions, Martin put out “Más,” his best, and just generally good, pop album. The success behind “Más” banks on two elements. The first is its embrace of the Spanish language. “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was a pop sensation, but it wasn’t because of lyrical excellence. As someone who can’t speak Spanish, I can’t tell if the lyrics on “Más” are any better, but they certainly sound better in Spanish. One mistake Martin and producers made when assembling tracks for the album was including English versions of the two singles, “Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tu” and “Te Vas.” Listening to Martin duet with Natalia Jimenez on the former might not carry the same commercial value as him singing with Joss Stone in English, but listening to Martin and Jimenez take the Spanish approach is more enjoyable. “Te Vas” is a great dance song, and much better than the English version (“Shine”). Martin keeps the album

Fairy tale performance includes both pros and students of Cinderella. Gotschall received her training from BalletMet Columbus as a student and is now in her sixth season as a company member. “Cinderella is a really fun girl to play,” Gotschall said. “She’s very hopeful and bright, and no matter how bad her circumstances are she’s always positive.” She also plays two other roles in the ballet, as do many of the other dancers. Gotschall grew up watching other dancers in the company dance the role of Cinderella, and she, like many young girls, dreamed of being Cinderella. Charles recognized Cinderella’s allure to young girls and did not want that lost in the ballet. However, he wanted to keep it a classical ballet that adults could appreciate. “There are classical ballet steps in it, and all the elements

interesting by using many styles. The opening tracks “Más” and “Frio” are suited for the club, whereas “Basta Ya” is a strong ballad and “Cantame Tu Vida” uses a Spanish guitar for a softer approach. The only disappointing track is “Tu Y Yo,” another stab at a ballad that lumbers on for more than six minutes. Martin’s failure to reflect his recently announced lifestyle is a little disappointing. Martin’s duets with Jimenez and Stone follow the standard gender scheme for pop music. It’s tough to blame Martin for not breaking the mold considering the prejudice of many listeners, but he missed a chance to break some much-needed new ground in this, a new generation. Regardless, this collection of tracks is his best yet, and hopefully he can push his sound even further the next time around.
that you would expect to see in a classical ballet,” he said. Similar to BalletMet’s production of “The Nutcracker,” Charles wanted to make “Cinderella” work for the children in the audience, and preserve the piece as an adult ballet. “I think it is a piece that’s meant to work on a couple of different levels,” he said. “It’s not just a children’s ballet.” There are roles created for children in the BalletMet Dance Academy because Charles sees it as a valuable part of their dance education. “I knew that the students in the academy enjoyed being in ‘The Nutcracker,’” he said. “I wanted to give them another
There are few artists who can pull off a musical performance with just themselves and a guitar. Although a staple of campus coffeehouses, a truly great singer-songwriter needs a recognizable voice, strong lyrical content and some degree of skill at the guitar to be worth it. Bobby Long is well on his way. He gets a check for recognizable voice; Long is British and a moderate trace of the accent is present in his singing. Listeners won’t confuse him for other folk players whose voices run together. He also has strong lyrics covered. The songs range in mood, but nearly all form compelling content. Titular “A Winter Tale” is among the darkest tracks and “In the Frost” is the most upbeat, but they and everything in between fits well into Long’s scheme. Long is nothing special when it comes to six-strings, but within the expectations of the genre, he is more than competent. Seemingly, a musician who
‘a Winter t ale’ Bobby Long
can handle himself so well solo would avoid including a backing band, yet Long does so on many of the tracks. The band makes the tracks it partakes in more vibrant than Long’s solo takes, but even with the help of producer Liam Watson (of White Stripes fame), Long is most appealing when he goes it alone. Granted, Long had an extended period of time to gather these tracks together. He had been gathering attention for more than two years after he self-released “Dirty Pond Songs” in 2009. Some of the tracks from that debut made it onto “A Winter Tale,” his label debut. The addition of extra musicians made Long more accessible to new listeners, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the next album being entirely solo.
Go! Team earns its exclamation point Pat Brennan Lantern reporter brennan.164@osu.edu “Rolling Blackouts” is the Go! Team’s third, full-length studio release and long-awaited followup to 2007’s “Proof of Youth.” Fans will delight in hearing the English sextet’s distorted, garage-rock guitar arrangements. But even more prevalent than on previous albums are visible efforts to mix the sounds of musical eras and genres. Female vocalist and English rapper Nkechi Ka Egenamba, or “Ninja” for short, plays the role of front woman on “Rolling Blackouts.” Ninja combines her mastery of rap with weaving instrumentals and sampling on “Back Like 8 Track” to give listeners a healthy serving of modern hip-hop. “T.O.R.N.A.D.O.” presents itself as a disharmony of sound before morphing into a beat and rhyme combination as powerful as any in hip-hop today. “Apollo Throwdown” is cut from the same cloth and features more fiery lyrics from Ninja. “Rolling Blackouts” also offers some guitar-driven and vintage-sounding tracks. The melody on “Ready to Go Steady” harkens back to the Velvet Underground and
‘rolling Blackouts’ Go! t eam
“Secretary Song,” which features Deerhoof’s Satomi Matsuzaki, is as pop-rock as you could want, but could also blend-in perfectly on a “Brady Bunch” soundtrack. Guitarist and group founder Ian Parton and Ninja both make “Voice Yr Choice” the “must download” track of the album. Ninja’s unmistakable voice shines through on yet another vintage backdrop after Parton kicks the song into gear with a playful riff. Title track “Rolling Blackouts” also does not disappoint. This is simply the Sonic Youth-inspired sound that fans will remember from previous albums. All told, the outfit samples, rhymes and strums its way through 14 tracks and more than 44 minutes of the most intensely diverse and satisfying music you’ll ever hear. Don’t be surprised to see “Rolling Blackouts” on early watch-lists for album of the year.
opportunity to be on the stage and to do some roles in a piece.” BalletMet offers many ballets each season. This is the third time this version of “Cinderella” has been on the schedule. “It’s not a dark and hot, deeply meaningful piece like some of the pieces can be,” he said. “It compliments our season to present a variety of different kinds of dance.” The ballet is schedule to show Feb. 4–13 at the Capitol Theatre. Students with their Buck ID can purchase tickets for $15 at the door. “A great date night, perfect for Valentine’s Day,” Sciantarelli said.
