The last time Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee sat down with The Lantern editorial staff, he was in the middle of what he now refers to as his “yearlong colonoscopy” – an NCAA investigation surrounding OSU football.

Gee told The Lantern editorial board Monday night he feels good about where the university stands.

“The world is pretty right-side up for the university right now,” Gee said.

Semester conversion a “very intense process” Four months away from what Gee called “one of the most transformative things we do,” Gee is confident about the progress of the semester conversion.

All of the processes are in place and “we could do it today,” Gee said.

The $12.6 million to be spent on the transition is worth it, Gee said, and will allow OSU to catch up with the rest of the nation and students.

“We have been totally out of sync with every major university in this country … We’re a 1980s university in 21st century clothing,” Gee said.

Students will also gain a competitive edge on the semester system, Gee said.

“Our students will now be competitive in the job market … and in grad school,” Gee said.

Facebook affects happiness, study says KELSIE OZAMIZ Lantern reporter ozamiz.4@osu.edu For some students, Facebook provides a muchneeded study break during midterm week, but a recent study suggests that Facebook can actually make people feel worse about their own lives.

The study, conducted at Utah Valley University and published in January in the journal, “Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking,” is based on previous research that people use computermediated communication like Facebook to optimize their self-presentation, or present themselves in a positive way they want others to see.

“We usually see the bright side of others, especially from the positive images and comments posted on Facebook,” said Hui-Tzu Grace Chou, sociologist and main researcher of the study. “If we only see the sunny sides of others, it is easier for people to feel that others have a better life, or life is unfair, especially when they themselves are having some difficult times in life.”

Chou and research partner, Nicholas Edge, surveyed 425 undergraduate students from UVU, asking them to gauge their agreement with statements like, “Many of my friends are happier than me,” and “Life is fair,” while comparing factors such as how long they had a Facebook, how often they used it and how many of their Facebook friends are essentially strangers.

The study found that people who have had Facebook longer and had more Facebook friends they didn’t actually know perceived others to be happier than they were and thought life was less fair.

Polly Isurin, a fourth-year in painting and drawing who has never had a Facebook account, said she’s never felt the need for it and doesn’t plan on getting one. She said she feels that on top of having more time than those with a Facebook, she’s better off without it.

“I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily happier,” Isurin said. “Just probably less self-conscious because I don’t compare myself because I have nothing to compare it to.”

Tressel, Urban and Gee’s “colonoscopy” “Nothing that I have done over the past year has caused me more reflection,” Gee said about the actions leading up to the NCAA investigation and the investigation itself.

Gee was open about Jim Tressel’s failure to come forward and said he was pleased about Tressel’s new job with the University of Akron.

Gee called new coach Urban Meyer the “finest in the country,” “the greatest affirmation of the quality of this institution” and “the best recruiter in America.”

AMANDA PIERCE Lantern reporter pierce.343@osu.edu

With Spring Quarter planning under way, some students are scheduling for their last term at Ohio State before the $12.6 million semester conversion.

The semester conversion, set to be implemented for the 2012 Summer Semester, was a statemandated change affecting OSU and all other public universities, such as Ohio University, Cincinnati University and Wright State University.

Anxious about the semester conversion, some students are making it a priority to finish certain classes or subjects this spring.

“I want to knock my introductory math out next quarter,” said Faren Morris, a second-year in exploration.

Other students have similar motivations and are eager to finish classes they said they don’t think they will enjoy.

“I’m really not in any sequences right now, but I wanted to get all of my introductory courses done because I don’t want to be in those classes for 14 weeks,” said Megan Barahona, a second-year in psychology.

Graduating on the semester system, Barahona said she is thankful she knew about the conversion well in advance.

“I’m glad I’m not a freshmen,” she said. “I had time to plan for this.”

While they didn’t have the time advantage older students had, first-year students have found success in their plans to complete key classes before the conversion.

“I want to finish my language requirements; I’d also like to get my sciences done. As long as I manage to get some GECs done, I’ll be fine,” said Andrew Rote, a first-year in international studies.

Students rush to knock out GECs before semester change With the semester switch around the corner, many students are changing how they would normally schedule for the final Spring Quarter, opting to finish GECs before they gain four additional weeks.

Here is a look at the length differential between this year’s quarter system and the upcoming semesters: Aug

John Wanzer, assistant provost of the Office of Enrollment Services and Undergraduate Education, said he expects freshmen to adjust well to semesters as long as they think ahead.

“The transition will be pretty straightforward, they ought to see their advisers and plan what would be best for them to take under quarters, and what under semesters,” Wanzer said. “They need to develop a plan.”

President E. Gordon Gee said he doesn’t think the semester switch is going to cause problems for students.

“We gave large numbers of students particularly a chance to graduate early,” Gee told The Lantern.

“People haven’t taken us up on that … It’s obvious that the students in the end felt that the conversion was not going to be detrimental to them.

While many students are anxious to finish

specific classes, they have little stress about the conversion itself.

“It’s going to be fine, I don’t know all the details of it, but I think I’ll like semesters,” Morris said.

Other students agree.

“If I were in the middle of a language or math series, it would be a lot more stressful, but I’m not really worried,” Barahona said.

OSU students aren’t the only collegians in central Ohio that face academic changes in 2012. Columbus State Community College is also switching to semesters to accommodate students who take classes at both schools or plan to transfer.

Some CSCC students are finding it difficult to schedule for Spring Quarter.

campus Agriculture school rejuvenated with new name, major Brent Stammen For the Lantern stammen.40@osu.edu The College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will undergo a full makeover to better describe the department, beginning in Fall Semester 2012.

Within CFAES, the Department of Human and Community Resource Development has undergone significant a change, including a new name.

“By changing the name to Agricultural Communication, Education and Leadership, I think we are able to present a more diverse and more accurate description of what programs are within the department,” said Ken Martin, interim chair of the department.

Work to change the Department of Human and Community Resource Development began in 2009, when a committee, chaired by Emily Rhoades, started creating the framework to modify and improve the department.

A proposal created by the committee was shared with all faculty and adopted on Aug. 28, 2010. With approval, the committee consulted with undergraduate leaders, graduate student leaders, and the alumni board about the change and even gathered letters of support.

After receiving approval from many university committees, the OSU Board of Trustees officially approved the name change on Dec. 9.

“The new name better reflects our undergraduate programs and the research that our faculty does,” said Marilyn Trefz, ACEL assistant to the chair. “It really lines us up better with other programs like ours across the state.”

But the new department name was only one of many changes the Board of Trustees approved in the December meeting. The trustees agreed to approve a new major, Agriscience Education and Community Leadership, which will replace the existing Agricultural and Extension Education major.

“I think (the degree programs and course offerings) are dynamic and I really think that they have been thoughtfully developed in a way that will allow our students to excel in these areas after graduating,” said associate dean of CFAES, Linda Martin. “I think we will have among the strongest programs in the nation.”

The idea of change is not a new concept to the department. ACEL was formally known as the Department of Agricultural Education until 1994 when the Rural Sociology program moved to the department.

In response to that addition, the department changed its name to HCRD. In 2009, when the Rural Sociology program moved again, the department responded by shifting its focus and creating the department of ACEL. Ken Martin said the new department will soon propose an online Master of Science degree in Agricultural and Extension Education. ACEL is hoping to have the program approved for Fall Semester 2012, Ken Martin said.

The Department of Human and Community Resource Development recently had a name change to Agriculture Communication, Education and Leadership.

“Were hopeful that this program will appeal to a lot of our extension program staff and office staff around the state who might only have a bachelor’s degree but want to get a master’s,” Ken Martin said.

Along with this new online degree program, the department is looking to add online courses to its curriculum and is in the process of searching for a new department chair.

“The faculty is doing an excellent job in reflecting and representing the quality educational experience that has been a tradition of this department,” Ken Martin said. “I think that builds a firm foundation for the further development of the department in the future.”

Columbus Marathon set to run through Ohio Stadium Brandon Rosin Lantern reporter rosin.7@osu.edu

Runners in Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon will run through the Ohio Stadium in October, during the 2012 marathon.

With Buckeye pride running through many Ohio marathon runners, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon will now route through the Ohio Stadium.

Runners will enter along the same ramp Ohio State football players use and run along the edge of the stadium before exiting via the ramp that OSU opponents use. Runners will not touch the grass, said race director Darris Blackford.

“When you turn down that ramp where the players go and you see that stadium, it is a nice moment,” Blackford said.

The new route will take about 7,000 runners through the stadium in October. Blackford said

runners will hit the stadium at 17.5 miles, well after half-marathon runners have completed.

“We knew we couldn’t put 18,000 people in that stadium,” Blackford said. “Safety is so critical for an event like this.”

A little more than halfway through the marathon, runners are more spread out and pace leaders keep runners organized, Blackford said. By the time they reach the stadium, the spread will keep things orderly going through the stadium.

Blackford said those 7,000 will be in for a treat.

Back in September, he had a chance to run through the stadium along the same route the marathon will take. Upon entering the stadium, he said he felt a little sentimental.

“I didn’t cry or anything, but I choked up,” Blackford said.

Kristen Ricker, a third-year in exercise science, is running in her first marathon and said

she thinks the route change is a great addition to the event.

The marathon has gotten a lot of emails from people who decided to participate due to Ohio Stadium’s inclusion. Entering the stadium will be the moment runners remember for a long time, Blackford said.

Being an Ohio native and living in Columbus for 20 years, Blackford said he always thought Ohio Stadium was “such an awesome place.”

His passion for this aspect of the race stems from his history with the stadium and Columbus.

When he was in high school, Blackford said he would come down to Ohio Stadium to watch the high school football championships.

“I’ve wanted this for a long time,” Blackford said.

He described the new stadium route as a “dream come true.”

Residence hall activities. Another $100 million will go toward renovations east of campus, something Gee said he feels very strong about.

One of the reasons the university made the agreement, Gee said, was because of Huntington’s Ohio roots.

“Huntington is the last hometown full-service bank that exists in Columbus,” he said. “This is a Columbus, Ohio, bank.”

Though Huntington has a history with the university, Gee said the bank’s previous involvement had nothing to do with their selection.

“In the end, the $25 million in cash and the $100 million was far and away the best proposal that we had,” he said. “Even though (Huntington was) strong partners with us and had been for years, they also made the most sense.”

When asked how the new agreement might affect students who bank with other institutions, he compared the new partnership with Huntington to the university’s partnership with Coca-Cola.

“Those who drink Coke do and those who drink Pepsi or some other thing still do that,” he said.

Facebook from 1A

Some students can’t bring themselves to delete their account.

Chou said there are also positive sociological effects of Facebook, like connecting with friends and a sense of belonging, but it shouldn’t replace faceto-face interaction.

Shelby Spressart, a third-year in biology, said she tries to be careful about the time she spends on Facebook.

“In general I like it because it’s mostly how I find things to do with my friends and see what’s going on and pictures,” Spressart said. “I get on it, then I see what’s going on, then I get off. I can’t stay on too long because then I just get frustrated with other people.”

Hollie Kinney, a fourth-year in speech and hearing science, said she enjoys Facebook because

University ‘well on the way’ to making residence hall changes As the university plans the transition to move all first- and second-year students to on-campus residence halls, Gee said the university is “well on the way.”

Gee said the transition is in line with the university’s goal to engage students inside and outside of the classroom.

Gee said data shows that graduation rates for OSU students who spend two years on campus increase from 80 percent to around 94 percent.

“That means that it’s a much better environment,” he said.

Gee said he considers the approximately 150 hours a week that students spend outside of the classroom to be the most important. ”The most important learning you’re going to have is from each other,” Gee said.

North Campus residence hall renovations are scheduled to be complete by 2015 or 2016, though Gee originally said that the project would be complete by 2012.

Gee said he prefers to call university housing as residence halls, never dorms.

“Dorms sound like prisons to me, you know?”

“I spend a lot of time on Facebook out of boredom.” Kinney said. “I think it’s fun, it gives people something to do and you can see which of your friends are idiots and drama wh-res. That’s kind of an elitist thing to say, but whatever.”

Facebook has filed registration documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to go public, and has set a preliminary goal of $5 billion for its initial public offering.

Spressart said she’s thought about quitting Facebook so she wouldn’t have to hear about peoples’ lives all the time, but could never bring herself to do it.

Isurin said the people she knows who don’t have a Facebook had it at one point, then got rid of it most likely due to the way people present themselves.

“I don’t think Facebook is bad,” Isurin said. “But I think it has gotten out of hand.”

“There’s one class that already filled up that I wanted to take, so I can’t take that, now I have to replace it with a class that’s harder.

Wanzer said

On the semester system, students will be in each class for 14 weeks instead of the 10-week quarter term. Semester terms will begin in Summer 2012, and Wanzer said the goal is to have a class schedule available by March 1, with scheduling windows opening on April 23. The Fall Semester schedule is expected to be available on April 15, with scheduling windows opening on April 30.

Wanzer said he is confident students will adjust well to the semester system, but will feel better once the changes are fully in place.

“We’re all waiting to see how this goes,” Wanzer said. “And hoping it goes well.”

Banging on makeshift drums, covered in blue paint and refusing to speak, Blue Man Group isn’t a troupe of stubborn toddlers, but a 25-year-old production with a child-like innocence and uninhibited, audience-involved performances.

What started as a three-piece production in 1987 has now grown into a worldwide phenomenon. With permanent shows in large cities, Blue Man Group is traveling the U.S. in its first North American theatrical tour. Blue Man Group is scheduled to perform Tuesday through Sunday at the Palace Theatre.

The group has traveled in the past, performing in concert venues, but musician Jerry Kops told The Lantern the show is meant to be seen in a theater.

“We’ve done rock show tours, but this is meant to bring what we do in the sit-down shows to a larger audience, so they can get a taste of what other people have seen in the larger cities,” Kops said. “The interaction is the same in the sit-down shows — we go out and pick audience members, they are constantly interacting,” Kops, 35, joined Blue Man Group in 2006 as a string player. Although he was getting paid to play guitar with bands as a teenager, Kops said he decided not to pursue a career in music. He was working as a registered nurse when he saw Blue Man Group perform in Las Vegas. The next week, he submitted his resume online, got a call the next day, auditioned the following day and has been performing with the blue men ever since.

Kops said the physicality of the musicians matched his own style of performing.

“It’s hard to not notice the blue men on the stage, but the way the music was delivered really captivated me,” Kops said. “The band members moved around the way I moved around on stage.”

While the founding members of Blue Man Group only perform at special events, they remain involved in the direction of the company, which includes more than 50 blue men worldwide . Each show has three blue men and about four musicians, who are also decorated in different colored fluorescent paint. The themes of the show — exploration, discovery and learning — have remained the same, while the show itself is constantly changing.

“There’s a lot more technology involved in the show — they like to focus on what’s current and relevant in present-day society,” Kops said.

Along with the band, the blue men pound on PVC pipes and drums filled with paint to create a visually remarkable show. Blue Man Group performances are a combination of music, humorous skits and audience interaction, which is at times planned, but sometimes spontaneous. For instance, if an audience member leaves the theater to use the restroom, the blue men might stop the show for a moment to, without speaking, question where the person is going, or “poke fun at them.”

Blue Man Group is also known to make fun of human interaction with technology. While society’s dependence on cell phones might be a part of the social commentary of the shows, Kops said the performance isn’t meant to teach the audience a lesson.

“It’s just supposed to be fun,” Kops said. “Just

experience the moment and don’t think too heavy of it.”

Blue Man Group doesn’t target specific audiences. Kops said the range of humor in the performances makes it suitable for all ages, including college students.

“There’s definitely a party element to it. It’s a touch to that innocent quality in everyone,” Kops said. “You’re in that state of, ‘I’m not a kid anymore, but I’m too young to feel this old,’ and I think that vibe is alive in the shows.”

Kops said the performers receive mostly positive feedback from audience members who are “enthralled” with the blue men, but he does recognize that the Blue Man Group isn’t for everyone.

“It doesn’t happen a lot, but we have experienced people telling us they hate the show,” Kops said.

Jesse Massaro, a first-year in theatre, said he wouldn’t go see Blue Man Group, but he can understand why they are still popular.

“I haven’t seen them, but it seems a little outdated. I remember watching videos of them in elementary music class, and I doubt it’s changed,” Massaro said. “It’s probably popular because it’s so outrageous — a bunch of blue guys dancing around and acting crazy.”

Wladimiro Villarroel, a fourth-year in theatre and Spanish , said he doesn’t plan to see the show in Columbus, but he has heard good things about Blue Man Group.

“My parents went to New York and saw them live,” Villarroel said. “They said the show was really energetic and fantastic.”

Aging Madonna far from vogue in putrid Super Bowl halftime number

Madonna performs at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI Feb. 5.

If this year’s Super Bowl was any indication, a skipping, cartwheeling skeleton does not make for quality halftime entertainment.

Madonna, with some help from LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green, performed at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI Sunday. In none-too-surprising fashion, it was as horrifying to watch as expected.

In a performance largely unable to capture the same flair of the electro visuals of the field and stage, Madonna, in a last gasp attempt to avoid being whisked off to an Indianapolis retirement home, was lifeless and awkward, and her age showed, especially when she almost fell down while dancing. Though not as embarrassing as Christina Aguilera dripping a mysterious susbtance down her leg while performing at Etta James’ funeral Jan. 28, it should be a sign that her time has passed regardless.

In terms of sheer spectacle, though, Madge certainly didn’t disappoint. The visuals flashed

ALEX ANTONETZ antonetz.3@osu.edu on the field and on the stage made for nice eye candy, even when Madonna was upside down flashing a bit too much crotch for anyone’s taste. However, visual flair should be par for the course for the Material Girl, who rolled onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium atop an army of beefcaked Roman soldiers.

Still, her performance was largely boring, underwhelming and hard to watch. A hardly agile 53-year-old Madonna gingerly doing cartwheels on-stage and

lip-synching her greatest hits was far from entertaining and made me long for the pre-”Nipplegate” era of Super Bowl entertainment.

Sadly, based on Sunday’s happenings, it’s likely we won’t be reverting back to that era any time soon.

While M.I.A. was on stage, she subtly flashed her middle finger and dropped the S-word, which NBC was unable to censor before it aired. Though not as egregious as Janet Jackson’s nipple being broadcast to tens of millions of homes in 2004, it will likely do nothing to stop the NFL, which has had its tail between its legs since “Nipplegate,” from continuing to bring on safe, old acts for future halftime shows.

If it were 1985, Madonna would have been a logical choice for the halftime show — she was in her prime and actually relevant. Today, she’s nothing more than a washed up, pasty bag of bones so unsure of herself that her lip-synching gives her a total lack of stage presence that she once had in her heyday.

pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu The Ohio State athletic department has dealt with counterfeit tickets for football games in the past, but the recent uptick in counterfeits surfacing at the Schottenstein Center turnstiles for men’s basketball is a new challenge.

“It’s a problem we’ve dealt with for several years regarding football and we feel like we’ve taken a lot of measures to address those situations,” OSU’s senior director of ticketing, Brett Scarbrough, told The Lantern Monday. “It’s something that we’ve never experienced with men’s basketball before, even in past years when the team was really good.”

During the 2011-12 season, up to 50 high-quality counterfeit tickets per game have appeared, according to OSU athletics spokesman Dan Wallenberg. The athletic department is now working with Ohio State Police and Columbus Division of Police to quell the problem while

also considering which measures will be taken to make men’s basketball tickets harder to illegally reproduce.

Scarbrough said the problem, which is limited to men’s basketball tickets, has come to light at the past few sold out men’s hoops games at the Schottenstein Center.

“This is the season ticket that comes on a sheet and, basically, its like a four-color, black and white theme,” Scarbrough said. “They are not reproducing the ones that you buy at the (ticket office) window.”

Based on information that has been gathered from fans that have fallen victim to the counterfeit operation, the sale of fake tickets taking place on game days appears to be happening on Lane Avenue between the Varsity Club restaurant and the Lane Avenue bridge.

University police chief Paul Denton said his department is aware of the situation and eager to take an appropriate report and investigation if fans are defrauded in the purchase of counterfeit tickets.

Denton said the potential penalty for counterfeiters would depend on

the type of scale of the illegal reproducing operation.

“Everything from criminal trespass if someone is caught and would have the tickets in their possession up to, and including, theft, fraud, theft by deception,” Denton said of possible charges for culprits. “Penalties could range from a minimum of six months (in jail) and a $1,000 fine up to, and including, a two-year (prison) sentence or 18 months, and a $5,000 fine.

“We hope to prevent crime before it occurs, and that’s why we’re trying to warn folks to try to buy (tickets) from only legitimate sources.”

You might notice some more familiar scalpers closer to the Schottenstein Center property — “the regulars,” as Scarbrough called them.

The regulars likely aren’t the culprits in this matter, though. “‘The regulars,’… those guys all have a vendors’ tag and we’re pretty confident that its not those individuals,” Scarbrough said.

The City of Columbus requires that anyone re-selling tickets needs to obtain a vendor’s permit and

those vendors are also restricted to a specific area where they may conduct business. That area is taped off.

Scarbrough also said the athletic department will investigate and implement new ways to make men’s basketball tickets harder to produce in the future.

“There’s special watermarks. There is ultra-violet ink. There is heat sensitive ink. Microprinting,” he said. “Of course, we’re going to be enhancing our security features on our tickets.

Obviously, that’s going to change.”

Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets from the Ohio State athletics ticket office, ohiostatebuckeyes. com or Ticketmaster, according to a Thursday athletic department release.

For sold-out games, fans seeking to buy tickets from other fans are encouraged to search listings on the Buckeyes TicketExchange, the only resale site that guarantees the tickets will be valid.

The Buckeyes will continue Big Ten play with a Tuesday game at 9 p.m. game at the Schottenstein Center.

OSU then-junior Marco Canevari competes in the 2011 NCAA Championships in fencing, which took place March 24-27, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio. OSU took 5th place.

En guarde! Fencing takes aim in 2012 Nick Dvorscak Lantern reporter dvorscak.2@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s and women’s fencing teams opened their season in a winning fashion after competing in the New York University Invitational and St. John’s Invitational on Jan. 21 and 22, respectively.

At the St. John’s Invitational, the No. 5-ranked men defeated Columbia, No. 3 Harvard and No. 1 Penn State, schools that have traditionally strong fencing programs.

The No. 6-ranked women faced their fair share of strong competition, defeating No. 7 Harvard, No. 5 St. John’s and No. 1 Penn State.

Results from the teams’ trip to the Northwestern Duals in Evanston, Ill., this past weekend had not been posted on Tuesday, but despite the strong showing at NYU and St. John’s, coach Vladimir Nazlymov said the weekend was “not exactly great.”

“We have some problems, but for sure much better than last season,” he said.

Nazlymov was referring to the men’s and women’s teams’ combined fifth place finish at last year’s NCAA Championships. He said he and the team were unhappy following the finish.

He attributed some of the struggles last season to the team’s overall inexperience.

“Our freshmen this year are a little bit better,” he said. “They have international experience and they’re good kids.”

He said the team also struggled with injuries and academic eligibility issues last season.

There are three events in fencing: epee, foil and sabre. In foil, the fencer is only allowed to strike the torso and use the tip of the weapon. Any touches

that land off target are not scored and the action is stopped.

In sabre, like foil, any touches outside of the target area are not scored, but action is not stopped.

However, the fencer can strike anywhere on the upper body and is allowed to use the point and blade of the weapon to make contact.

Epee has the fewest restrictions. The fencer can strike any part of his or her opponent’s body, but is only allowed to use the point of the weapon.

Senior sabreist Max Stearns discussed fencing on a more intricate level.

“It’s a sport that uses a lot of physical capability.

You need to be explosive, you need to be strong, you need to (be) fast, you need to have all those elements that all sports have in addition to an incredible amount of strategy,” Stearns said. “It’s kind of nicknamed the sport of chess.”

Despite Nazlymov’s conservative analysis of the opening weekend, Stearns said he feels much more optimistic about the team’s chances for this season.

“I think expectations are pretty high, even before the season started we have one of the most complete teams in the NCAA, I think, across all weapons and genders,” Stearns said. “Expectations on the team are very high. We’re working towards bringing back a championship.”

Sophomore epeeist Katarzyna Dabrowa said she had similar expectations for the upcoming season.

“I’m preparing to win NCAA’s this year, because I think I can do it this year,” Dabrowa said. “Last year I got third, and I think I’m prepared to win this year.”

Along with preparing for a strong NCAA finish, Dabrowa, a native of Wroclaw, Poland, and Stearns, a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, hope to represent their homelands in the upcoming summer Olympics.

Stearns said he is hoping to qualify, but, said it is going to be a difficult task.

Fencing is not a sport that your average child takes interest in.

Stearns and Dabrowa said they had similar experiences that led to their involvement in fencing.

Stearns said his interest was sparked after his father took him to see the Pan American Games as a child.

Dabrowa was also introduced to the sport by a family member.

“My grandpa watched the Olympics and encouraged me to try it,” she said.

The team is set to host the NCAA Championships at Steelwood Athletic Training Facility, their home facility, this March.

“I think some people might think that when you’re at home and you have your friends around, and family, you know the pressure’s on, but I think for a lot of people on the team, it’s really a benefit more than causing anxiety,” Stearns said. “We get to wake up in our own beds and, you know, come to our home and really defend our own territory.”

Stearns is most excited about the prospect of winning an NCAA Championship at home.

“I don’t think many people are worrying about it being at home, I think more people are excited that we might be able to bring it home here,” he said.

Stearns encouraged anyone interested in fencing to come watch an event.

“The best way to get people to understand it is to come watch,” he said. “It’s not the easiest sport to understand, but at least if you watch it you can get a better feel for it. It’s exciting.”

The men’s and women’s teams continued their respective seasons Feb. 17 at the Junior Olympics.

A location and start time for the event is still to be determined.

As Ohio State football enters the third month of the Urban Meyer era, recruiting is nearly finalized and the coaching staff has had several weeks to get acclimated to Columbus. The program now begins a shift in theme from transition to implementation.

New offensive coordinator Tom Herman will have a major hand in implementing coach Urban Meyer’s spread offense.

Although Herman and Meyer have no history of coaching together, Herman has spent the last seven years running the spread as an offensive coordinator, including the last three seasons at Iowa State. The Cyclones offense ranked 90th in the country with 22.7 points per game in 2011, but did post 37 points in a double-overtime upset of then-No. 2 Oklahoma State on Nov. 18.

Meyer said that of all the candidates for the position that he researched, the decision to hire Herman as a “no-brainer.”

“I wanted to have a guy that’s going to not have an ego, has a good understanding of our offense and be extremely intelligent to learn what we do and adapt it to what he does,” Meyer said at a Jan. 12 press conference.

Herman, who will make $420,000 in 2012, will be the primary play-caller for the Buckeyes. However Meyer said he will also have an influential role in directing the offense and will serve as the “veto guy.” It’s similar to the relationship that former coach Jim Tressel and former offensive coordinator Jim Bollman had in recent years.

No matter what play-calling capacity he is allowed, Herman said he is excited for the opportunity to coach at OSU. “It wouldn’t matter if (Meyer) called every play on Saturday or if I called every play on Saturday,” Herman said.

“This is the Ohio State University and this is an opportunity for me to learn from him and coach under him and

New OSU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman addresses the media during his formal introduction as a member of new football coach Urban Meyer’s staff Jan. 12. be a part of his staff at this university … I’m like a pig in slop right now. It’s been awesome.

“What we’re going to do offensively is time-tested, it’s proven, it’s what they’ve been successful doing at many different stops for coach Meyer.”

Herman will also serve as quarterbacks coach and play a heavy role in adapting Miller to the new scheme.

Herman said it’s too early to make an accurate evaluation of Miller’s ability, but that the two have had conversations about the young signalcaller’s leadership responsibilities as the team’s starting quarterback.

“(Miller has) been tremendously receptive and tremendously respectful and eager to learn and be able to immerse himself in what we’re trying to accomplish here offensively and as a team,” Herman said.

As for the rest of the offense, Herman said he hasn’t had enough time to assess how well the current roster’s abilities mesh with the new offensive philosophy, but that it will be necessary for the players and coaches to adapt to each other as the team moves ahead into spring practices.

“It’s very foolish to try and fit a square peg into a round hole, so to

speak,” Herman said. “Eventually you try to recruit to what your core beliefs are offensively. But when you’re in a transition phase like this, you’ve got to adapt yourself a little bit to what your players are capable of doing and can be most successful at.”
