Ohio State’s campus is home to various collections of ancient artifacts. BRIN KERKHOFF Lantern reporter kerkhoff.2@osu.edu In different lecture halls and libraries on Ohio State’s campus exist hidden treasure troves of ancient artifacts and special collections. Among these collections are cartoons, costumes and clothing, university memories, fossils and more. Orton Hall Geological Museum was completed in 1893 and named after the first university president, Edward Orton, Sr. The museum, which is open to the public, houses a collection of fossils and minerals from Ohio and around the world, with a catalog of 54,019 specimens, said Dale Gnidovec, curator for the Orton Geological Museum. Additionally, the museum has mammoth and

MARY POSANI Senior Lantern reporter posani.3@osu.edu Ohio State’s new $125 million partnership with Huntington Bank will improve campus structures, but ultimately shut out every other banking opportunity on campus. OSU and Huntington announced the partnership Thursday afternoon in the RPAC Amphitheater. The two organizations agreed on a $125 million deal where Huntington can establish bank branches on campus and OSU can use $25 million for campus investment. With the increased services on campus, Huntington will be looking to improve the banking experience with students, faculty and staff. Currently, however, OSU also has a relationship with U.S. Bancorp, where campus holds several U.S. Bank ATMs and has a branch located in the Ohio Union. Lisa Clark, assistant vice president of media relations at U.S. Bancorp, said she plans to continue doing business with OSU students, despite OSU’s new relation with Huntington. “For us it is going to be business as usual,” Clark said. “We’ve actually had a fairly good level of success with the branch that we opened there. And
I think the reason why is that when students come to OSU, they come from all over.” U.S. Bank has a contract to keep its branch in the Ohio Union until 2015, and with contract renewals it could remain on campus until 2032. U.S. Bank is the fourth-largest branch network in the country, and five times larger than Huntington, Clark said. U.S. Bank also has more than 3,000 branches around the country. Clark believes that U.S. Bank business will not be affected by the new partnership because students will continue to bank with U.S. Bank. “We believe that students are smart,” Clark said. “They look for the best deal for their loans and the rest of their money and what’s most convenient for them. You want to shop for an account that best meets your needs.” In addition to U.S. Bank and Huntington, four other banks have a presence on campus, including Chase and Fifth Third Bank. Geoff Chatas, university CFO, said that once these contracts are up, OSU will not renew them. Representatives from Chase declined to comment. The Lantern attempted to contact Fifth Third representatives with no response. Adam Wintz, a first-year in art education, is skeptical about the partnership.

“The things they are doing with the money sound worthwhile at the most part, but I’m not sure about it,” Wintz said. “As long as it is used wisely, it’s a good thing for Ohio State.” Faculty, students and Huntington Bank employees listened to university representatives President E.

The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, which was originally housed in two converted classrooms in the Journalism Building and established in 1977, also has received attention, but for its new location. The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum is “the largest and most comprehensive academic research facility documenting printed cartoon art” with more than 450,000 original cartoons, according to their website. Lucy Caswell, professor emerita and founding curator for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, said that this museum is held at a constant temperature of 60 F with no humidity, to ensure preservation of materials. Caswell said the librarians are required to wear white gloves when handling and assessing the drawings.

mastodon teeth, a full-size replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull and a mounted skeleton of a giant ground sloth. “The giant ground sloth skeleton at the entrance to the exhibit hall is one of only four left in Ohio,” Gnidovec said. Orton Hall received attention Jan. 8 when Nathaniel Harger, a 19-year-old student majoring in biology, allegedly broke into the museum and attempted to steal several valuable items on display. Gnidovec said the OSU Police described Harger as violent. “They had to pull their guns,” Gnidovec said. “He actually tore off one of the claws of the (sloth) skeleton there and used that as a knife to defend himself.” University police said Harger was in possession of a claw, but denied that he used it as a weapon against officers. Harger’s lawer, Tom DeBacco, said they do not yet know Harger’s trial date.

Jack Zerkle, 24, plays cards with some friends at the OSU STAR House on Feb. 3.
The large brick house on the corner of North Fourth Street and 12th Avenue looks like a typical off-campus house. A big-screen TV and video game controllers take up most of the large front room, Guitar Hero is set up in the dining room and a pile of drying dishes and pans sits next to the sink in the kitchen. Unlike most college houses, though, this house sees between 25 and 40 homeless youth come through its doors each day. What began as a research site for the Ohio State College of Education and Human Ecology is now a drop-in center for homeless youth and an important fixture in the Columbus community. The OSU Serving and Treating Adolescent Runaways House at 1421 N. Fourth St. served more than 416 youths between the ages of 14 and 24 last year alone, said Jeana Patterson, program coordinator. The STAR House is a safe haven for many of the youths that come through its doors, Patterson said.
The drop-in center is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and youths are free to come and go as they please at the house. They have free reign of the kitchen, access to a phone and computers, places to rest, do laundry, shower and even shop for new clothes. The STAR House was never intended to be a drop-in center, said Natasha Slesnick, director of the STAR House and professor in the College of Education and Human Ecology. Slesnick set out to explore ways to engage homeless youths and get them back on the right track. Until last June, the STAR House was funded by a research grant for treatment development. The budget for the grant was $2.2 million, Slesnick said. Formal research is no longer being conducted at the house, but it continues to meet the needs of the homeless youth in Columbus with the help of grants and community support, Slesnick said. Slesnick said they quickly realized a center offering treatment alone wouldn’t draw the youth that they were hoping to work with. “None of the kids would walk five miles to come to our research center to meet with a therapist for

Google policy changes spark strong reaction AYAN SHEIKH Lantern reporter sheikh.51@osu.edu Google’s new privacy policies have caused some uproar among its users, including several Democrats and Republicans in Congress. But as far as Ohio State students are concerned, there isn’t much to worry about. The Internet giant announced Jan. 24, it will replace all 60 of its privacy settings, from various Google products and features, with a single, “easy to read” privacy policy beginning March 1. Also in the new policy, Google will be able to collect and compile certain user information, including search queries, browser language and users’ telephone numbers, based on users’ activity while on Google sites such as YouTube, Gmail and Google Plus. Furthermore, Google could use the information it collects from users to create customized advertisements and tailor search results to individual users, according to its website. Users are given the option to opt-out of these services if they choose to keep their browsing activities private. For instance, when logged into their Google accounts, users can turn off their search histories, thereby disabling Google from collecting personal information while browsing the internet. Users can select the “Incognito” mode, while using Google Chrome browser. While logged out, Google would not be able to collect data if users are not logged into their Google accounts. The Google “policies and principles” page also mentions that Google would not sell or share the information it collects with a third-party company. Brian Ding, a fifth-year in mechanical engineering, said Google’s new privacy settings do not worry him. “I haven’t really noticed any difference from my normal use of Gmail, so I don’t really mind what they’re changing,” Ding said. Ding said he considers the new policies a service to all Google users. “I look at that as Google providing us with a service, honestly. Because if they’re tailoring the Internet for each one of us personally, I view that as a value added to our lives,” Ding said. Jenna Holvey, fourth-year in dental hygiene, echoed Ding’s response to the new policies and said she has no reservations to the changes

Sergey Brin, left, and Larry Page, right, are the co-founders of Google. given that she is mindful of the amount of personal information she shares on the web. “I don’t see it as an invasion of privacy because I don’t have anything to hide,” Holvey said. “I’m not accessing sites that are questionable.” Clay Hedges, a third-year in international studies and manager of the audio visual department at the Ohio Union, said he believes most people “overreacted” to the policies because he says Google’s privacy settings remain the same. “Rather than having separate policies for each of their services, there’s now one unified policy, meaning that your information is now stored in the same place rather than being stored in 35 separate places, but the actual privacy setting have not changed,” Hedges said. Paul Murphy, a fifth-year in mechanical engineering, said there is no reason for unhappy users to continue using Google products and features if they feel the new policies are invading their privacy. “The privacy polices in some ways can be taken as invasive. However, people should remember that Google is a service that you can use for free and you can choose not to use, so the option to not use Google if you’re offended by their privacy or worried about it is always there,” Murphy said. Murphy also said that in “some cases,” he would prefer Google to collect his browsing data to better serve him. “If the ads they post are going to be targeted to me in some way, then I may actually enjoy the ads,” Murphy said. Hedges said he trusts Google’s ability to keep users’ information safe given the company’s track record. “Their motto is ‘Don’t be evil,’ and I would definitely rather trust that service, who is much more transparent among their changes to the user, than services such as Facebook,” Hedges said.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation’s leading breast cancer advocacy group, withdrew their Jan. 31 decision to cut funding for female cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood nationwide. The announcement that the foundation would continue giving grants to Planned Parenthood came Feb. 3 after four days of heated controversy. “Komen’s announcement came as a shock combined with resentment and confusion,” said Julia Vandra, a fourth-year in microbiology. “How could a foundation who claims to be working for the benefit of all women take away the funds that would allow underprivileged women the means to get cancer screenings?” Komen’s official website states they “invest significant dollars in our local community programs — $93 million in 2011, which provided for 700,000 breast health screenings and diagnostic procedures.” Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of reproductive health services in America, is included in their community programs, providing funding for breast health screenings. Komen claimed that in light of new, stricter requirements for their grantees that include a stipulation that organizations under government investigation may not receive grants, Planned Parenthood would no longer qualify for any funding. Some see this announcement as reasonable. “There was pressure that led them to cut the funding,” said Thomas Balla, a third-year in history. “And there were some

legality issues as well through the government as Planned Parenthood is under investigation, which makes it more understandable.” Others are certain that Komen’s motives to defund Planned Parenthood are purely political and their reasoning is shaky. “Komen claims to have made their decision based on the fact
that Planned Parenthood is under investigation,” Vandra said. “Komen’s actions were most definitely political. The foundation would rather appease the right-wing and get in good with the powerful than do what is right for all women.” Planned Parenthood has historically provided abortion

Cartoon Museum “My favorite part of working here is how much you learn about different time periods,” said Chelsea Mitchell, a fourth-year in history and one of the museum’s librarians. The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum is located at 27 W. 17th Ave. Mall, next to the Wexner Center for the Arts. The museum will be moving to Sullivant Hall in the fall of 2013. “The museum serves students and faculty on our campus as well as national and international researchers,” said Lucy Caswell, professor emerita and founding curator for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. From cartoons to clothing, the next trove is in Campbell Hall, which houses the Historic Costume and Textiles Collection with pieces dating to 1770, said Gayle Strege, curator for the Historic Costume and Textiles Collection. The gallery features an exhibit on dress from around the world called the Global Textile Trades and Global Gallery. The next exhibit will feature the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts with various uniforms over the years. Similar to the cartoon museum, the costume collection is kept at a constant 70 F with no humidity, Strege said. Perhaps one of the most unknown places on campus is the costume collection’s extra storage facility. In Campbell Hall, it is available to view by appointment only.
“We are here as a resource for students,” Strege said. Many things can be learned from clothing, such as what society, culture and technology was like during that time. Most pieces come with a history, Strege said. “It’s fun to see old things and how people lived. It’s a more personal experience,” Strege said. Members from the different collections around campus are working on putting together a Center for Material Culture Studies, which would serve as one central place to organize and study materials, Strege said. “It would be nice for people to have a place to find these things,” Strege said. Artifacts and memorabilia from OSU’s early years can be found in University Museum, located in the first floor lobby of University Hall and was put together by the Ohio Staters, Inc. during the rebuild in 1976. The museum is dedicated to the history of students and their organizations at OSU. Photos of past presidents line the walls and cases are filled with pictures of early buildings and clubs, which serve as a looking glass into the past. Finally is the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, which features a changing gallery and a Special Collections room. The gallery features “Year of Shakespeare: The Exhibition,” until April 29 with pictures from original plays, costumes, playbills and more. The special collections room also houses “Friendship 7 at 50: An Anniversary Celebration of John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight,” which contains pictures, books, recordings, awards and the astronaut’s flight suit.

Some critics say politics are related. counseling and referrals, and some of their health centers perform abortions. This has put the organization under scrutiny from conservative groups and politicians for a long time. Some critics of Komen’s decision have claimed that the pressure to defund Planned Parenthood came from the appointment of Karen Handel as Komen’s senior vice president of public policy in 2011. Handel, former secretary of state of Georgia and 2010 Republican nominee hopeful for the governor of Georgia, has publicly announced her pro-life stance, having said during her unsuccessful campaign for governor that “I do not support the mission of Planned Parenthood.” In a written statement, Komen founder and CEO Nancy Brinker denied political accusations in relation to their funding. “We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood,” Brinker said. “They were not.” Regardless of the organization’s reasoning, it was announced Friday that funding to Planned Parenthood would continue. “I think that they did the right thing to retract their announcement and continuing the funding because Planned Parenthood is a good outlet for people to use,” Balla said. “That money could save lives and serve purposes that may have been missed or overlooked.” Although the grants are once again in place, some see this ordeal as permanently tarnishing an organization so prominent and successful. “Komen is too late,” Vandra said. “They have shown their true colors.”
Huntington will offer OSU students internship opportunities. “celebrity wedding and we’re going to make that the case.” OSU’s partnership with Huntington will give students possible career opportunities on campus. Huntington will offer to OSU students 20 internship positions with top bank executives as well as host networking events and speakers. Huntington will also offer to students financial literacy education, Adams-Gaston said. Students are also given the option to open accounts with Huntington and have the choice to use their BuckID as a debit card, Adams-Gaston said. Steinour said this multi-million dollar deal is “unique” to OSU.

STAR House is nontraditional, still “grassroots.” an hour because this is not where their heads are at,” Slesnick said. “Their heads are at finding a safe place, food, a place to rest.” Slesnick said she found that after meeting their basic needs and forming trusting relationships, the youths were more receptive to therapy. The study conducted during the research grant period found that with the help of the drop-in center, they could engage youths in treatment. Over time, Slesnick said they found significant reductions in substance abuse and homelessness in the STAR House. Patterson oversees daily life in the house and said ordinary, everyday activities like playing video games and cooking in the kitchen are purposeful. “That’s how you build engagement,” Patterson said. “That (is) how you build their trust.” The STAR House is a much-needed respite for youths living on the street who have been forced by life circumstances to grow up quickly and take on serious responsibilities, Patterson said. Despite their lack of resources, society expects homeless youths to function normally, Patterson said. Most STAR House youths are developmentally identical to college freshmen, Patterson said. But unlike college freshman, most homeless youths do not have the abundance of resources that college students expect from their universities. Sentral Hill, 23, started coming to the STAR House everyday three months ago after hearing about it from a friend. He said he was reluctant to come at first, but once he saw everything that the house had to offer, he was “hooked.” “It makes you happy,” Hill said. “I just love this place, it’s just awesome to me.” A self-proclaimed master chef and video game expert, Hill spent 15 years in the foster care system and had no where to go after he was emancipated.
“This is a really significant day for all of us at Huntington,” Steinour said. “Nothing like this has been done before in the country. This is innovative and new.” Of the $125 million, $25 million will be used for scholarships and academic programming and $10 million of that will finance updates to classrooms and technology, according to the university-wide email sent out by Adams-Gaston and Gee. Gee also said the partnership will enhance and enrich the student experience by educating students, and enrich the lives of Ohioans through scholarships and academic programs, and sustain alumni efforts and east-of-High Street projects. “It demonstrates more than anything we could possibly imagine,” Gee said. “This university is about creating partnerships and opportunities.”
While shelters in the area are open to anyone, Hill said he likes the privacy and community that the STAR House offers. “The environment is more relaxed and everybody that’s here is on the same pace,” Hill said. “We (are) all in the same situation so we can (talk) about the situation and try to make it better for each other.” Hill said most of his friends are at the STAR House, including some of the student monitors that work at the house throughout the week to engage the youths and establish a positive environment in the house. One of Hill’s favorite people on staff is Mike Langley, a fourth-year in political science who has been a student monitor at the STAR House since November 2009. Langley was looking for a student job and stumbled across the STAR House listing on the OSU website for student employment. After almost two-and-a-half years at the STAR House, Langley said he has learned that youths often have little control over their situation. “You get to know them and you get to understand that just one or two instances of their life could have … put them here instead of put them where you or I might be,” Langley said. Relationship building is an important part of the STAR House’s mission and something that Langley enjoys, he said. “Some of these people I’m just as close to as people I know and see in my free time,” he said. “There’s people in this house that … can make jokes with me when I walk in the door that some of my friends can’t make jokes about because they don’t know that about me.” No one that comes through the STAR House is a lost cause, Langley said, and Hill is no exception. Hill has big plans for the future including getting a job, going back to school at OSU or Columbus State Community College, buying a car and eventually buying an apartment of his own. Hill’s ambition illustrates the main purpose of the STAR House. “It’s like a bridge between the streets and the mainstream,” Slesnick said. “It’s nontraditional, it’s grassroots and we’re trying to bridge the two worlds.”

OSU defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell observes a wrestling match during OSU’s contest against Michigan Feb. 3. Fickell served as the honorary coach for the match. OSU won, 24-13.
Fickell revisits the mat as honorary coach Patrick Maks Lantern reporter maks.1@osu.edu Apparently Luke Fickell’s coaching forte isn’t limited to Saturdays in Ohio Stadium. A 106-0 record on his way to three wrestling state championships at local St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus, Ohio, could have a little to do with that. The 38-year-old defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the Ohio State football team served as the honorary coach for the OSU wrestling team’s 24-13 win against Michigan Friday night. “Coach Ryan’s done an unbelievable job at making sure that everybody understands what the rivalry is all about and it shows,” Fickell said to The Lantern after the dual. For OSU, it was not only a win against their longtime rival, but also step back in the right direction after a loss at Penn State less than a week earlier. For Fickell, though, it was a chance to see for himself the same OSU wrestling team that toppled No. 2 Iowa for the first time since 1966. “I think from top to bottom they are very good,” Fickell said. “There are no gaps in the lineup. When you see seven freshmen out there, that is amazing.” The Buckeyes, who improved to 10-3 and 4-3 in
the Big Ten, are arguably one of the youngest teams in not only the conference, but the nation. “This is the most freshmen I’ve ever put in a lineup ever by far,” said OSU coach Tom Ryan. Being ranked No. 6 in the nation, though, suggests it’s a non-factor. While OSU was able to win six of the 10 matches against the Wolverines, pins by redshirt freshman Logan Stieber and freshman Andrew Campolattano provided a cushion of bonus points for the Buckeyes. Fickell, who served as the football teams head coach in 2011, said he knew the pins for OSU were important. “There’s the difference in a match right there,” he said. “I mean, not just momentum, but, you know, the extra six points, you can’t make up for those things.” Throughout the dual, Fickell sat matside between the OSU wrestlers, juggling his duties as honorary coach with being a fan and the father of four. There were times where he, like Ryan, appeared ready to jump out of his chair and coach whoever was on the mat for the Buckeyes. Then there were instances where Fickell appeared to be more of a fan, similar to the way the electric crowd of 5,012 did much of the night. And there were the moments where he’d transition from the former back into a dad, who sat with his kids on his lap.

Ryan said Fickell’s presence shows the respect he has for not only the OSU wrestling team, but the entire sport. “Luke was raised in a wrestling home,” Ryan said. “There’s no way to be as good as he was in wrestling and not go through the hardships of really getting physically beat up.” OSU 149-pound freshman Cam Tessari said it meant a lot to him and the team that Fickell was with them as honorary coach. “He’s a great guy and did a good job this season. I’m excited to meet him, I’m real excited for it,” Tessari said. Stieber agreed having Fickell by their side would be a memorable experience. “I know he’s one of the best high school wrestlers in Ohio history,” Stieber said. Fickell’s track record suggests that maybe his greatest trait is his toughness. In his junior year of high school, Fickell pinned 29 of his 31 wrestling opponents. As a nose guard on OSU’s football team, he started a school record of 50 straight games and played in the 1997 Rose Bowl win against Arizona State with a torn pectoral muscle. Ryan said it’s Fickell’s perseverance in the face of being knocked around that makes him special. “The ones that endure it and come back tomorrow are the ones that are great,” Ryan said. “He always did that.

OSU junior goalie Brady Hjelle looks down at the ice during OSU’s 6-3 loss to Michigan State Feb. 3 at the Schottenstein Center.
The Ohio State men’s ice hockey team continued its winless ways in a two-game series against Michigan State this past weekend. The No. 10-ranked Buckeyes lost back-to-back games in Columbus this weekend, falling to the Spartans, 6-3 and 3-2, on Friday and Saturday night, respectively. OSU (14-10-5, 10-9-5-1 CCHA) has now gone 10 straight games without a win, and have a 0-6-4 record this calendar year following its two-game set with MSU (15-11-4, 10-9-3-2 CCHA). OSU freshman forward Tanner Fritz scored two goals, with fellow freshman forwards Ryan Dzingel and Max McCormick, and sophomore forward Alex Lippincott each tallying a score in the series. The Buckeye defense gave up a total of nine goals against the Spartans, the most OSU has given up in a series this season.
OSU coach Mark Osiecki said the key to the series this weekend was the veteran play of the Spartans. “That was the bottom line this weekend,” he said. “They only have a few freshmen in their lineup and that helps them in tough situations. We had 10 freshmen in the lineup tonight, and that was one of the differences in the game. It helps having their kind of experience going through league play.” After jumping out to a 3-1 lead Friday night, before the Spartans scored five unanswered goals on the way to a 6-3 win, the Buckeyes got in a hole early on Saturday. Spartan freshman forward Matt Berry scored a power-play goal at 9:14 in the first period to give MSU an early 1-0 lead. Berry tapped the puck in from the post after junior defenseman Torey Krug faked a shot on the wing before passing it to him. MSU added two more goals in the second stanza to take a 3-0 lead half

OSU men’s volleyball takes weekend sweep in State College, Pa. Lisa barefield Lantern reporter barefield.2osu.edu The No. 9-ranked Ohio State men’s volleyball team took home two wins this weekend after defeating California Baptist, 3-1, and Mount Olive, 3-0, in the Penn State Invitational, improving to 8-4 on the season. Some OSU players saw more action than normal in Saturday’s match against the Mount Olive Trojans. The team’s leading offensive players, senior opposite Shawn Sangrey, senior outside hitter Mik Berzins and junior outside hitter Chen Levitan, didn’t even enter the match. Junior outside hitter Nick Gibson recorded a match-high 14 kills, while redshirt freshman setter Peter Heinen tallied 23 assists for the Buckeyes. Redshirt junior middle blocker John Tholen had six blocks. This is the second time in two years that OSU has swept Mt. Olive, according to the athletic department’s team guide.
OSU rode Friday’s momentum into the first set, and at 17-15, went on an eight-point drive. Four Trojan errors and kills by reshirt freshman middle blocker Shawn Herron and Tholen added to the victory, 25-16. Similarly, at 16-13 in the second set, the Buckeyes put up six straight points while holding the Trojans at 13. OSU took the set, 25-17. The third set was close with 12 tied scores. The Buckeyes maintained the lead for most of the set, but the score tied late in the match, 24-24, on an attack error by freshman outside hitter Michael Henchy. Tholen’s kill put his team at match point, and an error in their favor ended the weekend of play for OSU, 26-24. In Friday night’s performance, the Cal-Baptist Lancers came out strong and took the first set, 23-25. OSU gave up a six-point lead in the second set and the score tied at 24. Berzins and Levitan, delivered kills to end the set, 27-25. Levitan would seal the third set for OSU, 25-20, with two more kills and two Lancer errors.
At 16-14 in the fourth and final set, OSU went on a four-point drive with a Sangrey kill, two blocks from Herron and a Lancer error. The Buckeyes ended the match on an attack by Levitan, who had 16 on the weekend. Sangrey posted a match-high 23 kills and Heinen led the team in assists with 55. The Buckeyes will travel to Fort Wayne, Ind., to take on the Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne Mastodons at 7 p.m. Friday. OSU returns home the following Friday to play Ball State at 7 p.m. The OSU men’s volleyball team, which is 65-33 against IPFW, could not be immediately reached for comment.

way through the period. Sophomore defenseman Jake Chelios, son of former NHL defenseman Chris Chelios, scored a 4-on-4 goal at 1:57 in the middle period. With 6:35 left in the second, Krug blasted a shot from the top of the right circle that flew past OSU senior goalie Cal Heeter and into the back of the net. “He’s an all-league type of player,” Osiecki said of Krug. “It’s important to have a defenseman back

The freshman forward gave OSU its first goal of the game when he slid the puck in off a rebound at 14:23 in the second stanza. A few minutes later, he found the back of the net again when Dzingel’s shot on a 2-on-1 breakaway bounced off MSU sophomore goalie Will Yanakeff. Fritz found the loose puck and buried it home with 2:11 remaining in the second. “The line (with Dzingel and McCormick) feels

Ohio State women’s basketball coach Jim Foster hasn’t quite embraced the idea of social media. “I mean really, tweeting?” Foster said. “Who cares what you think at the moment, you’re going to change your mind in five.” He might not tweet about his 760 career wins, a Final Four appearance or being 12th on the all-time NCAA wins list, but he’s not afraid to share one aspect of his career: getting all his players to earn degrees. Before coming to OSU in 2002, he coached at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., and St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Pa. At each school, every player he has coached has graduated. “I don’t think you ever start out to do anything like that,” Foster said. “It just sort of happened.” Many student-athletes perform a delicate balancing act when it comes to studies and sports. Foster said he understands the difficulties students face, but his past experiences have shaped the standard he holds for his players.

good right now,” Fritz said. “We have played well the past couple series.” The Spartans led 3-2 heading into the final period, and killed off multiple Buckeye power plays late in the third stanza to hold on for the win and series sweep. OSU’s power play was 0-8 on Saturday night and 0-14 on the weekend. “Our power-play unit really needs to bear down,” Osiecki said. “We got some good looks but we couldn’t capitalize. Our power play could have been the difference for us the past couple of games.” The Buckeyes take the ice again for a two-game series against Western Michigan starting Friday at 7:05 p.m. in Kalamazoo, Mich.

OSU women’s basketball coach Jim Foster during OSU’s 70-66 win against Temple Nov. 18, 2011.
After his enlistment in the Army, which included a tour in Vietnam, Foster attended junior college before enrolling at Temple University in Philadelphia. While at Temple, he coached boys and girls basketball at a high school in Wyncote, Pa. In 1978, the Temple undergraduate was named women’s coach at nearby St. Joseph’s University. “For the last two years I was coaching college players while pursuing my degree at Temple,” Foster said. That’s not all he was doing. On top of being a full-time student and an NCAA coach, Foster ran a group home for neglected boys while also bartending. It all totaled for an 80-hour workweek. “I never quite understood the difficulty in managing your schedule,” he said. Foster’s message of hard work on the court and in the classroom is evident in his former student-athletes. “There was not ‘athlete’ in the word — you were a student first,” said Emily Beth Howe, a former Buckeye who played under Foster. Howe graduated OSU in 2005 with a business degree before attending Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., where she earned her master’s in sports management. She now works in sales at the OSU
athletic department and said she still remembers what Foster expected from his players. “He didn’t care if you scored two points or 20 points,” Howe said. “The importance was academics.” Even when a player transferred from the team, Foster said he kept tabs on their progress. The scholarships Foster has given student-athletes afforded some an opportunity to attend college when they otherwise might not have. That opportunity creates a positive ripple effect for the coming generations, Foster said. “Now their children are getting ready for college,” Foster said. “And if they hadn’t been given the opportunity, the next generation probably wouldn’t be in the position they’re in.” In an era where some student-athletes are blinded by short-term success, rather than long-term goals, Foster has a message. “The more you discipline yourself now, the more opportunity for success you’re going to have later,” he said. Although the younger generation might forget in five minutes, that message might be a thought worth tweeting about. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

studentvoice 24 hours of ‘Groundhog Day’ felt like 6 weeks of winter lifestyle. After the first showing, staff moved everyone to a larger theater. Thank God they did because it gave everyone room to spread out and sleep. I can proudly say I didn’t know how “Groundhog Day” ended until showing No. 4. and I didn’t even watch the movie the entire way through until the sixth showing. Thanks to life in the Ohio State residence halls, I have the ability to sleep through ridiculous noise in a crowded room. Aside from my concerns about not being able to sleep and the shortage of outlets to plug my laptop power chord into, I was really worried about how much money I would end up spending on food. I packed a ton of snacks, but they weren’t going to be enough for the whole day. I decided to hold on to all my receipts, and at the end of the night assess how much I had spent in order to find out how much money I would really be saving from the 24 free passes. Before the first showing I got some fries from Gooeyz, which cost me $6.39. Just before 8 a.m., and subsequently the fifth showing, I got a bagel from Panera for $2.59. Finally, before the ninth showing, I got a sandwich from

I can confidently say that I have watched the movie “Groundhog Day” for the last time in a long time. After attending the 24-hour “Groundhog Day” movie marathon at Gateway Film Center Feb. 2, my Bill Murray quota is maxed out. Twelve showings of the beloved holiday film is enough for me, thank you very much. All week I had gone back and forth on whether I wanted to go, and after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to just go for it. After all, sleeping in a movie theater is something that isn’t socially acceptable when you aren’t living on a college campus, and even then you’ll get weird looks walking down High Street with your pillow and blanket in hand. Eventually I decided I was too college-broke to miss out on 24 free movie passes, so I skipped my classes and headed to the Gateway on Wednesday around 11:30 p.m., claimed a good seat at the top of the theater with my friend Austin, and settled in. The show sold out, which I could not believe. I guess I didn’t realize there were as many desperate movie buffs like myself out there, willing to subject themselves to a new, unrecognized level of torture to fund their movie-loving
Potbelly’s that cost $5.25. Somewhere in between all of these, I split a bag of popcorn which I’m pretty sure is $7, so I’ll call that $3.50 worth of food. If you add this together, I ended up spending $17.73 on food. If every student-priced movie ticket at Gateway is $6, excluding 3-D movies which are $9 for students, I ate nearly three movies worth of food. I had a theory that I wasn’t the only one shelling out more than just the $6 ticket charge to be able to stay at the theater all day, so I started to ask around.
“I went to Taco Bell and Wendy’s — probably spent about $25. I brought a lot of food with me as well — probably $10 worth,” said Chelsea Drouin, a secondyear in anthropology. Drouin, who spent much of the night camped out on the floor near the screen, attended the marathon last year as well, and used her last free pass for her 2012 marathon admission. Other students spent money on food throughout the day, too. Stephen Herchek, a first-year in criminology, said he spent about $15 on food throughout the course of the marathon. Even though Herchek said he doesn’t go to many movies — “probably only three or four” a year — he was sure that his free passes would be used either by himself or friends. Now a marathon survivor, Herchek had advice for anyone who plans to attend next year. “Bring your own food, bring some people along and enjoy yourself,” Herchek said. Drouin, the now two-year veteran, also had some words of wisdom. “Bring a pillow, blanket and food, and prepare to sleep a lot or you’ll lose your sanity,” Drouin said.
The experience of watching the same movie with the same people for 24 hours straight isn’t something I can easily describe. After a while, everyone sort of gets into a routine. During the intro music, everyone claps to the same beat, repeats the same lines in unison, laughs both hysterically and ironically at the same parts, and says “awww” in the scene where Bill Murray is asking two drunks at a bar what they would do if their actions had no consequences. The first guy takes a shot while the second guy says, “That about sums it up for me.” Everyone was pretty much on the same page — exhausted, incredibly bored and extremely amused by it all. However, by the end, everyone was mostly just thrilled to escape the loud, dark and somewhat smelly movie theater with 24 passes for free movies (with no expiration date) in hand. And, after hearing Bill Murray’s alarm clock play “I Got You Babe” for twelve straight showings, to delete every Sonny and Cher song ever made from their iTunes library.
Public transportation can showcase eccentric people, awful experiences LANTERN Columnist

On Jan. 25, I was standing at a COTA bus stop in the Short North waiting for the next bus to come and take me home after a long afternoon of work. As I was waiting, two men walked by and glanced at me before stopping next to a nearby trash can. Craning my neck, looking down High Street for the next bus, I hadn’t been paying attention to them. When I turned back around, one of the men had his pants pulled partially down and was openly peeing on the trash can next to me, completely unfazed. Horrified, I took a few steps back, avoided eye contact and waited for them to leave. When they finally did, another unsuspecting commuter took their place by the can, stepping in the small pool of urine collecting next to a crumbled Wendy’s bag.
It was just an average day on the COTA. Twice a week I ride the COTA to and from my internship. While the journey is only 2 miles, about ten minutes in either direction, I always get off with a new story and renewed appreciation for the independence of my bicycle, which I am banking on using for my commute in the spring. If you’ve never seen the People of Walmart website, I suggest you visit it immediately. It’s a collection of user-submitted photos of the eccentric people sighted at local Walmart stores nationwide — some of these photos are truly unbelievable, but some days I think COTA could top it. However, for fear of my life, I would never take pictures of anyone on the COTA. One time I accidently bumped into someone when I was getting on the bus, and he whipped around, glared at me and said a few phrases I don’t think The Lantern would print. So no — please no flash photography on the bus. My experiences on the COTA all run together, and as time has passed, it has only become more difficult to distinguish between the time I was forced into a one-sided screaming match about political connections I don’t think even Nicholas Cage in “National Treasure” could follow or the time I sat
next to a women who was convinced a passing fire truck had struck down 5 pedestrians. While strange things happen on the bus, I find the thing that makes the COTA more bizarre often has less to do with what people are doing than it does with the people themselves. For example, three weeks ago I was riding the bus when a man I can only describe as raillike got on. He was tall — I’m talking basketball player tall — and really thin. Not bothering to look for a seat, he stood at the front of the bus holding on to a pole. This was the best position to admire him from. Dressed in black slacks, a knee-length white trench coat, white stunner shades and a black fedora, this man looked like something sent on a mission from the past. Every time I ride the bus, I secretly hope he’s there, and to date, he’s my favorite COTA rider. Since being at college, I’ve learned that there is almost nothing as awful as public transportation; however, I’ve also learned as a writer, there is almost nothing as awe-provoking as the strange people you meet and the interactions you have that could take place nowhere but on a crowded, smelly bus, where you can never be sure a small puddle of water is really just water.

A college student has many daily tasks. There’s nonstop homework, classes, meeting new people and exams to study for. This task list alone can lead to late nights and insomnia for many students. Being a student, I recognize how difficult this is. To add to this list would simply seem insane. Yet I know at least one student who takes on the responsibilities of a college student and still finds the time to run his own company. Toyosi Azeez is a third-year in economics at Ohio State. He is also a CEO of SKEWETT Inc., a company he started in high school. He also happens to be my roommate. Azeez told me he chose the name SKEWETT because it was a catchy name that he felt would be memorable. “It (SKEWETT) started off being something that a lot of people said in my hometown. I decided that like Google and Yahoo, very quirky names, this name would stick,” Azeez said. He and co-CEO Michael Meadows, a fourth-year at George Mason University, came up with the acronym Spreading Knowledge Everywhere While Enjoying the Technique. Everyone in the company is between the ages of 20 and 22. It’s interesting to see how he reached these people, often through social media. “I mainly use Twitter. I will
study their tweets because how they tweet, how consistent they tweet, and what they tweet about actually shows me a lot about who they are as a person,” Azeez told me. His parents shaped his passion. When he was in high school, Azeez said his father sent him to the library daily to work on homework. During this time, he began reading books about Donald Trump and Warren Buffett, which inspired him to start his own company. His company sells T-shirts, silicon bands, lanyards and shorts as products. They also have two artists: Tr3Dash and Doobie Darko. The photographer, Richard Smith, was drawn in through online networks, which is exactly how Azeez wanted to find the talent for the company. When Azeez came up with
the idea of SKEWETT, Meadows was unsure about the idea but decided to be part of the movement. He then became co-CEO. They share the task of finding talent, organizing companies to make websites for and making T-shirts. Being a friend and roommate of the CEO, I was able to attend a couple of their business meetings. They would get down to business, feed off each other’s creative ideas and then joked as if they’d been friends for years. I asked around campus to see what students thought of young people starting their own businesses. I talked to William Basil Swad, a second-year in finance. I asked him first what he thought about a college student starting a business. “That person has to have a lot of initiative and obviously has to know the percentage for failure. It’s a huge risk,” Swad said. Azeez and Meadows are not huge risk-takers, but they are willing to go after their dreams. As a roommate, it’s inspiring to see him be able to do this. Few people have the creativity or persistence to find success in such a risky endeavor. Yet Azeez has persisted, despite the time constraints and setbacks. As his friend and a fellow college student, Azeez’s success goes to show that a dream and the drive can lead to success at any age.

Selling out Madison Square Garden might be the pinnacle for most musicians, but for O.A.R. drummer, Chris Culos, selling out the Newport Music Hall surpasses The Garden on his list of career highs. “For a basement band to think, ‘Let’s play Madison Square Garden one day,’ of course you have that dream, but it’s not realistic,” Culos said. “What was realistic is when we came to Ohio State with just a box of CDs to pass out to our friends, looking up at the Newport Music Hall marquee, thinking it looked like the biggest venue we’d ever seen. By the time we left, we were selling it out regularly. It felt like such an accomplishment.” Culos is scheduled to return to Columbus with bandmates Marc Roberge, Jerry DePizzo, Richard On and Benj Gershman at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Wednesday. Doors open at 7 p.m. They are touring in support of their seventh studio album, “King,” which debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart. Culos, Roberge, On and Gershman brought their high school band O.A.R. from Maryland to OSU in 1997, where they met saxophone player DePizzo. Culos told The Lantern he doesn’t think the band would have found the level of success they did if the members hadn’t attended OSU. Along with the boom of online file sharing in the late ‘90s, Culos calls their time in Columbus a “key element.” “I don’t know if we would have been able to build that fan base,” Culos said. “Our fan base in Columbus was so instrumental, it was the foundation that really launched our career.” That launch led to 15 years of O.A.R. playing its reggae, jam-band sound for fans all over the country, including a sold-out show at The Garden in 2006. Although the music has become more pop-influenced since they started out as 16-year-olds, Culos said O.A.R. has held onto old and new fans by giving them what they want at every performance. He said the band has made a new set list for every show it
has ever performed, and it tries to make it a balance of crowd favorites, old songs, rare songs and a couple new songs. “I think it’s more important to have a fresh, spontaneous performance rather than a perfect performance. There’s also an energy and something the crowd can relate to when we’re up there figuring our way out through a song we haven’t played in a long time,” Culos said with a laugh. “Not to say we don’t have a couple train wrecks every once in a while, but I think that’s part of the live, rock ‘n’ roll experience and it keeps fans excited to see us in concert.” Culos said “King” has brought the band full circle, but it feels like it’s only the beginning. He said lead singer Roberge started writing music as a 16-year-old who was using characters to tell a story. Now that the band has experienced life for themselves, the songs come from a more personal place. “We wanted to go back and check in with the first record called ‘The Wanderer’ and we find that the character has kind of found himself, and he figured out that what he was looking for was inside himself the whole time,” Culos said. “It’s fun to go full circle.” Culos said “King” also proved to be the most challenging experience of the band’s 15-year music career. During the making of the album, Roberge’s wife overcame a cancerous tumor. “It inspired us a lot,” Culos said. “When we got back in the studio we had a renewed passion for what this is all about.” Culos said big life events, including weddings and babies, have helped the band evolve over the last decade. “We’ve kind of gone from the band that’s out on the road, having fun, playing Xbox, going out to get drinks at night, to something more like wake up, practice, write songs, soundcheck, warm up, play a two-hour show and go to bed,” Culos said. “Fast forward a couple years and we really feel like we’ve developed a lot.” Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers will join O.A.R. for tour stops in the Midwest and Southeast. Kellogg opened for O.A.R. twice in the past. He told The
Lantern he has grown as a performer since the last time he opened for O.A.R. and he is excited to play with them in Columbus. “It’s all the thrill of getting to play with them back in the old days, but without any of the nerves,” Kellogg said. Limited stage time and wanting to please fans is a challenge for opening acts. Kellogg said his music is a little “rootsier” than O.A.R., but they are similar in that they like to show “all sides” during a performance. “Sometimes you get out there and it feels like the audience wants to rock, but I also think like, ‘I want to make real fans,’” Kellogg said. “I’d rather make 10 real fans than rock the hell out of a few hundred people and have them come to a different show and ask, ‘Why is this guy playing ballads?’” Culos said O.A.R. usually stops in Columbus during the summer, so it is exciting to come to town while OSU is in session. “We haven’t been in town while people are on campus in a while and that will make it a really fun party,” Culos said. “For us to come back to Columbus and play in front of an audience that has basically been our biggest champions for over a decade makes for a really special show.” Culos said O.A.R. tries to make the shows as interactive and it want fans to reach out with requests. “If you have requests, find us online, find us before the show, let us know what you want to hear,” Culos said. “Make a sign, yell it out — we want to make this as interactive as possible. That’s what makes it fun.” Lucas Perie, a second-year in political science, is attending his first O.A.R. concert, and said it is his favorite band of all time. “I really like their live albums rather than their studio albums, so I’m excited to experience the atmosphere of one of their concerts,” Perie said. “It’s pretty cool to listen to their albums and think they wrote some of it while they attended Ohio State.” Members of O.A.R., if you are reading this, Perie would like to hear “52-50” during Wednesday’s show.

From a middle school talent show to record deal offers from the likes of KISS bassist Gene Simmons, Down with Webster has watched its rap-rock outfit go nowhere but up. Down With Webster is scheduled to play at the A&R Music Bar at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 as part of its nationwide tour. The band started as an end-of-the-year talent show in junior high. Co-founder Tyler Armes said he and the other members were surprised that they won. “We didn’t suck — we won — so we decided to keep going,” Armes said. The sound of Down With Webster isn’t one that can be classified as one particular genre. Each member in the band, Armes said, represents different styles. Armes said he brings a mixture of rock, soul and hip-hop to the table. “Their music combines all elements and styles of music without trying to replicate any one particular genre,” according to a “Toronto Music Scene” review. Its all-over sound has gotten the band multiple record deal offers from big-name musicians, such as Timbaland and Simmons, Armes said. There was a mixture of reasons that the band did not take either offer, Armes said. The first was timing. Down With Webster had already committed to another agency when the new offers arose.

Canadian rap-rock band Down with Webster is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 at A&R Music Bar. “We already had a prom date, and they were too late,” Armes said. Armes said another reason for turning down Simmons was because of style differences. He said he did not think it would be a good fit. Even though Down With Webster did not sign with Timbaland, it is hoping to collaborate with him later this year, Armes said. The band’s song “Big Wheels” survived the Canadian Hot 100 list for more than 15 weeks and peaked at No. 51, according to Billboard.com, but the band’s standings don’t impress Armes. “It doesn’t feel like much,” Armes said. “I don’t listen to the radio.” He said he would rather have a real connection with fans than music charts.
Armes said Down With Webster’s fans can expect some old music, but the majority will come from its most recent album, “Time to Win, Vol. 2.” Even though he said he believes the newest material is the best the band has come out with so far, Armes said he does not like it when artists only play their new music at shows. Throughout the years, Armes said the band’s biggest achievement has been sticking together. After high school, members had opportunities to move far away, but they stayed close for the band. “Everyone just believed in the project and believed in the music,” Armes said. Tickets are $10 in advance through Ticketmaster and $12 day-of-show.

How I survived 24 hours straight of ‘Groundhog Day’
monday February 6, 2012
arts Columnist

Throughout the year, there are many holidays that seem random and unnecessary. Take for instance, Multiple Personalities Day, Eggs Benedict Day and National Flashlight Day. However, there are several holidays throughout the year that I participate in and appreciate. I have Jesus to thank for Christmas, the pilgrims for Thanksgiving and now Bill Murray for Groundhog Day. My greatest accomplishment since passing Spanish last quarter was sitting through 24 hours straight of “Groundhog Day” Feb. 2 at Gateway Film Center. The event was sold out. The theater was filled to the brim. Half of my enjoyment came from watching fellow participants climb their way to a seat in the middle of the aisle. I had to weave past six or seven people, falling on one, before I was able to slide comfortably into my chair. After about 20 minutes, the lights dimmed and the ambient chatter of the crowd was replaced by an uproarious cheer. The marathon had begun, and boy would it be a bumpy one. Never having watched the movie prior to the event, I was engaged throughout the entire first showing. We were able to switch theaters in between time slots one and two to a theater that was exactly twice the original size, allowing us to spread out. The second showing, which started at 2 a.m., was equally engaging for me, but I could see other spectators begin to yawn. It was at this moment I realized what I was in for. I thought, “I just watched this once, how am I going to do it again and again and again?” The third showing, which started at 4 a.m., was a little harder to sit through — it was like I hit a
COllin HOWard howard.772@osu.edu wall. The audience was much quieter and people were dozing off all around me. It was during this show in which I was able to get my total of 1 1/2 hours of sleep. Being a college student who typically wakes up anywhere between 9 a.m. and noon on a daily basis, watching a movie at 6 a.m. for the fourth straight time was a little difficult to get through. I tried to sleep but to no avail. The seats might seem comfortable when you go to see a movie, but when you’re sitting there for hours, your posterior starts to go numb and you can’t seem to get your neck in a properly placed position. The next 12 hours or so, which seemed like a blur, were only sustainable by frequently getting up to stretch and fully taking advantage of our 20 minute breaks to grab some fresh air or an outside bite to eat. There was plenty of food available at the theater, but as you can expect, at a slightly inflated price. The 10th showing of the day, which started at 6 p.m., was probably tied with the first for easiest to sit through. It was at this point when fresh meat started to come in for single shows, and the ritual laughter from those who had been there all day was met by
“real” laughs from people enjoying the film. It was refreshing, to say the least. The newcomers continued to venture in during the last two showings and the theater looked to be almost full. At this point, the only thing that kept me going was knowing that I had already been there for 20 hours, so what were four more? I felt bad for the new, paying customers, because over the last day or so, having that many people all living in a confined space, the theater began to emit a distinct odor, somewhat resembling a locker room. I can best describe the scent as a mix between beer, sweat and popcorn. I overheard one individual who came in for the 10 p.m. show say, “Yeah, it’s pretty foul. It smells like cheese.” But for me, it just added to the experience. Before I knew it, the final show had come and gone and I was standing in line with more than 100 other people for the final time, this time to get my reward: 24 free movie passes. I showed my badge, which had been punched in between each show, and was handed my stack. It was like I had just won the lottery — feeling like a prisoner in solitary confinement for the last day had finally paid off. As I exited the theater, I looked down at the contents in my hand and was amazed that I just sat in a theater for 24 hours to receive these little rectangular pieces of cardstock that bared the words “Rain Check.” I had to ask myself one question: “Was it worth it?” Absolutely.
