College-educated people move to Columbus

When students first get to Ohio State, many never want to leave. But as graduations nears, students hoping to start a chapter in a new city drain recent graduates from Columbus. A recent study from the Brookings Institute revealed promising results for the city of Columbus. According to an article on the institute’s website by William H. Frey, the poor job market for young adults has led to increasing numbers of individuals ages 25 and older with college degrees staying put. The study said Columbus has been gaining adults with college degrees at a rate of .16 percent over the past three years. From 2005-07, though, Columbus was losing these college graduates at a rate of .23 percent. The Brookings Institute is a nonprofit, public policy organization based in Washington, D.C., and the article analyzed data from the American Community Survey, which the U.S. Census Bureau conducts. The American Community Survey is an ongoing yearly survey, which helps to determine how more than $400 billion in state and federal money will be distributed to communities each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau website. About 3 million random addresses are selected each year to participate in the study and those people are asked to provide responses to 11 factors including age, sex, race, income and benefits, education and where they live. Zhenchao Qian, a professor and chair of sociology at OSU who specializes in migration and residential mobility in the U.S., said the increase in Columbus migration could be the result of two factors. First, the job environment during the economic

THE FACTS

The relatively stable economy in Columbus helped the city attract more college-educated people during the past three years. Nearby cities Cleveland and Pittsburgh experienced a reduced migration loss and a migration loss turned to gain, respectively. Pittsburgh had the greatest increase in graduate retention.

USG says meal plan falls short of ‘Chipotle standard’ COr y SHaffer Lantern reporter shaffer.294@osu.edu

Undergraduate Student Government President Micah Kamrass wants to save students money using Chipotle as a guideline. Kamrass wants to change the current meal plan offered to nonresidential students, the Commuter Plus Plan, to be more affordable to students who now survive on groceries or businesses off campus. “Chipotle is the standard we use,” Kamrass said. “You can get a Chipotle burrito, which is pretty filling, for six, six-and-a-half bucks.” The commuter plan costs $420 per quarter, and allots students 40 swipes and a $50 BuckID deposit. That averages out to be $9.25 per swipe, plus the cash. “If the expectation is going to be for students to continue to eat on-campus, we need to make it closer to the cost of a Chipotle burrito,” Kamrass said. At Chipotle, a chicken burrito, chips with salsa and a small fountain drink costs $9.55. “When you factor in a side and a drink, I think our prices are very competitive,” said Zia Ahmed, senior director for Campus Dining Services. At Burrito Noches on north campus, students can get a chicken burrito, a side of nachos with cheese sauce and a fountain drink for $8.07.

Muslim speaker Tarek Fatah came to Hitchcock Hall Tuesday to discuss his book “The Jew Is Not My Enemy” and left many students divided. The Schottenstein Chabad House at OSU, a Jewish student organization, planned the event titled “Unveiling the Myths that Fuel Muslim Anti-Semitism.” Sarah Deitsch, a campus program leader, and her husband, Rabbi Zalman Deitsch of the Chabad House, made the decision to have Fatah come speak to students. Sarah said the decision to bring in a Muslim speaker instead of a Jewish speaker was intentional. She stressed the need to raise awareness among students of the issues that create divisions between Jews and Muslims. The Chabad House reached out to other non-Jewish groups on campus for support and sponsorship. The

student organizations Buckeyes for Israel and the North African Students were both sponsors for the event. Chabad House also asked the Muslim Students’ Association at OSU to help sponsor the event, but it declined. Maria Ahmad, president of the Muslim Students’ Association, disagreed with the Chabad House’s selection of Fatah as a Muslim speaker on anti-Semitism because she believes the dialogue would be rooted in his misrepresentation of Islam. “Islam does not teach that anyone, regardless of religion, class, sexual orientation or anything, is the enemy of any Muslim. Islam in fact teaches that the only enemy of a believer is Satan because he causes disrupt between humans. The title of Tarek Fatah’s book, however, seems to imply that Muslims are taught that the Jew is the enemy,” Ahmad said. “His tone makes it seem as though there is something in the Quran to apologize

campus New competition to find Ohio State’s ‘most fit’ student Larr y Bauman Lantern reporter bauman.7@osu.edu Weight-lifting competitions determine who is the strongest and marathons tell who is the fastest, but who are the “most fit” students on campus? Most competitions focus on one element of fitness, such as sheer strength or cardiovascular endurance, but a new competition is being introduced to Ohio State students that will promote a more well-rounded fitness. Faculty from the health and exercise science department teamed up with the students’ Exercise Science Club to create a course that would determine the overall best fit male and female at OSU. The university’s first “Most Fit Buckeye” competition is scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. until about 4 p.m. on April 16 at the Lincoln Tower Park. More than 100 competitors are expected to compete in the event, and spectators are welcome, said Rick Petosa, a professor in health and exercise science. “All the components of fitness are really what drives our major and is what is going to be driving this competition,” said Elan Lieber, Exercise Science Club president and a third-year in exercise science education. “The ‘most fit Buckeye’ is not going to be the person who is the most strong or most fast, it’s not the person who just trains one way, but it’s the most well-rounded, the most healthy (man and woman).” To come up with challenges for the course, the Exercise Science Club split into eight sections and each focused on one element of fitness, such as strength, aerobic fitness and balance. “The competition consists of cardiovascular efficiency, muscular endurance, balance, flexibility,

Fatah offends some students for and we (the Muslim Students’ Association at OSU) reject the fact that intolerance is inherent in Islam to begin with.” The Chabad House does not believe that Fatah suggests intolerance is inherent in Islam, Sarah said. Fatah made clear during his speech that, “it is imperative that

cognitive problem solving and strategy, to complete a wide range of challenges presented in a fitness course,” said Petosa, who worked with the club to create the event. Four athletes at a time will compete in different lanes, each round striving for the top time. The four men and four women with the best times will compete against each other in the last round on the last race of the day. Some of the obstacles included on the course are a weighted sled-pull, a tire flip, agility drills, running and plyometric boxes, which the competitors will jump up and down from in rapid succession. The layout of the course is not being disclosed until the competition. This adds intrigue for competitors such as Cory Scheadler, a second-year graduate teaching assistant in physical activity and education services. “I’ve tried to ask (Lieber) a couple times, but he’s been pretty secretive about it … I’m pretty curious to what it is that I’m going to be doing,” Scheadler said. David Steel, a fourth-year in history, has signed up for the competition because it sounds fun. “Back when I was going to elementary school, running around in the gym, the gym teacher set up an obstacle course and I always had a blast with those, so I just figured it would be one of those on steroids,” Steel said. The sign-up sheet to compete in the “Most Fit Buckeye” competition is located at the Cardio Canyon desk in the RPAC building from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every night. The competition has a $20 entrance fee. All proceeds from the competition will be donated to Pelotonia, a cancer-fighting and fitness-promoting charity. The most fit male and female in the competition will both win new iPads, Petosa said.

Americans understand the forces of Islamism as distinct from Islam: one as a political ideology, one as a faith,” she said. Fatah covered topics such as the two-state solution to bring peace between Israel and Palestine and stressed that faith should never be a reason to attack any group. He stressed the need for Muslims and Jews to ask each other questions. Fatah said Jews should ask, “Do you recognize us as a people?” to Muslims, and

Muslims should ask, “Do you recognize my faith as original?” to Jews. Only if the answer is “yes” on both sides can the problems of Muslim antiSemitism and religious discord be changed on both sides, Fatah said. A majority of students who attended the event identified themselves as Jews. However, students from numerous faiths and beliefs were present. Some students felt personally attacked by generalizations; others had no issue with Fatah

The way he responded to one of the girls’ questions, it did not reflect the freedoms he was preaching about with democracy.”

Martinez left the auditorium to wait for friends. If confronted by a student who was upset by the event, “I would want to meet with the student first and provide an apology or so on, but would have to meet first to understand why they felt upset,” said Cameron Deschenes, a second-year in international studies and president of Buckeyes for Israel.

trent Bar ter Lantern reporter barter.1@osu.edu The Ohio State Board of Trustees later this week will discuss a system that would grant individual departments phased retirement options for faculty and staff. “If approved, the program will offer flexibility for colleges and vice president units to proactively adjust their workforce to achieve positive economic and programmatic outcomes,” according to the Office of Human Resources website. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The discussion of phased retirement options is on Thursday’s agenda. The programs are in early stages of development and not all details are known or have been transmitted to colleges. “It’s something that will be evolving in the next weeks and months,” said Regina Langen, director of communications for the College of Engineering. The program consists of two separate components, including phased retirement and separation incentives. Both are designed to ease the transition for new employees and those considering retirement. “Separation incentives ease the transition out of the university through inducements, such as monetary support to cover gaps in salary and benefits. Phased retirement helps assist the timing of retirement for-eligible faculty and staff, ensuring a smooth transition of highly knowledgeable and skilled individuals,” according to the OHR website. The programs are voluntary for faculty and staff. Colleges within the university do not have to accept programs if they feel it is not in the best interest of their school, according to the OHR website. The proposed separation incentives would include a single payment of up to 12 months of salary in addition to payment for continued health

coverage and dependent tuition coverage for a defined period. The proposed phased retirement would be a one- or two-year program. Incentives would include working for 75 percent of the time for the first year while still receiving 100 percent pay with full benefits. The second year would have the employee work 50 percent of the year and be paid 75 percent with full benefits. Continued health coverage and dependent tuition coverage for a defined period would also be included, according to the Board of Trustees agenda. Not any employee can get such incentives. Each college has to decide the criteria that will eventually be approved by the OHR and the Office of Legal Affairs. Only faculty and staff eligible to retire by the end of the phased period will be eligible for the phased retirement program. The proposition for the programs, according to the Board of Trustees’ agenda, came about from the significant proportion of retirement-eligible employees. Thirty-nine percent of faculty are eligible to retire within five years, while 26 percent of regular staff are currently or will become eligible in five years. Budgetary concerns and “flexibility in structuring the workforce” were also partially responsible for the programs, according to the OHR website. Each school within the university must also decide what will be best for their department. “At this point we’re non-committal, and we’ll see what is appropriate for our college,” said Tim Meager, director of finance and administration for Moritz College of Law. Also on the agenda for Thursday’s meeting is a breakdown of all construction projects and costs from 2010, the expected expense for this year and OSU’s Global Gateway in China. Repeated attempts to contact Larry Lewellen, vice president of Human Resources, went unreturned.

are a popular suggestion Ahmed agreed with Kamrass that the dining plans need to be changed, but said limiting the price is only part of the game. “We have to keep all ideas on the table,” Ahmed said. “We are approaching this with a very open mind.” Kamrass said the university should consider “anything that could help make (the plan) more attractive to off-campus students.” This could include extending the discount for students who use BuckID money instead of swipes at campus dining locations to off-campus plan holders, Kamrass said. Currently, students with the off-campus plan are excluded from the discount, which is 35 percent at traditional dining halls, such as Baker and North Commons, and 15 percent at all other dining locations. Kamrass said the talks are in a very early stage, and there are not yet official details. “It’s all just been conversation at this point,” Kamrass said. Other Ohio schools that are still on the quarter system offer more options. Ohio University has two different options of students living off campus and the University of Cincinnati has four.

Organization gives grants to graduates to buy houses the highest percentages of adults living with parents is during 2007-09. Dan Williamson, spokesman for Mayor Michael B. Coleman, said in an interview that Coleman’s main focus is creating new jobs and providing a quality life in Columbus. Williamson said Coleman often engages with young individuals to find out what will keep them in the city and, if they choose to leave, what their reasons are for doing so. Next Generation Consulting ranked Columbus 10th on the 2009-10 list of hot spots for young professionals to work and live in the U.S. Factors other than the economy also play a role in the decision a college student makes to stay or go. Brittany Sanlo, a third-year in family studies, said she plans to attend an accelerated nursing program in Florida, Texas, Nevada or South Carolina directly after graduation. She said she chose these areas for better weather and a change in lifestyle. If she does end up in Ohio, though, Sanlo said she would definitely choose Columbus over any other city in the state.

Ahmed said the most popular suggestion he has heard is offering students the choice of using half swipes on things like a coffee and a muffin. “Whatever we end up doing, it will be a student-driven plan,” Ahmed said. Jen Bortnem, a secondyear in business, plans to live on-campus next year and thinks a cheaper off-campus meal plan would help students. “It’s more convenient to not

Sanlo isn’t the only one eager to escape the less than perfect Ohio weather. “Initially, I would like to stay in Columbus after graduation. However, I’d eventually like to move down south to the Carolinas,” said Melissa Lubert, a third-year in accounting. Although the weather drives some people away, the city of Columbus keeps many of its young citizens happy. Naren Vellanki, a fourth-year in finance, said the city has a lot of racial diversity and loves to embrace it. He said he thought OSU is a strong asset to the city. “It gives the people of Columbus something to cheer for, as well as a place to gain employment and education,” Vellanki said. There are some programs that were established to make life simpler for college graduates. One such program is Grants For Grads. The Ohio Housing Finance Agency provides assistance to recent college graduates who are looking to purchase their first house. According to the OHFA website, anyone who is a first-time home buyer, graduated from an Ohio high school, meets the income requirements, and earned an associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree within the past 18 months, is eligible for assistance. OHFA will issue a grant for 2.5 percent of the home’s purchasing price. The grant may be

have to leave campus for lunch,” she said. “I also think there’s more variety on campus, and it’s a little more nutritious.” Ahmed said convenience was the biggest benefit for students to purchase the off-campus plan, but attracting more students will mean offering more. “The plan has to offer some tangible benefit that students can really see,” Ahmed said. Lukas Brooks didn’t see any benefits from his plan last year. “I just ended up using it for bagels and stuff,” said Brooks, a third-year in chemical engineering who canceled his off-campus plan after one quarter. “I decided it wasn’t really worth it.”

put toward the down payment, closing costs or other prepaid expenses incurred prior to closing. Another program is Easycolumbus.com, a website launched in September 2009 to show college students the many reasons to stay in Columbus. The Columbus Chamber, Experience Columbus, The City of Columbus, The Columbus Foundation and the Dispatch Printing Company created the program, said Alison Pegg, multimedia director for Easy Columbus, in an e-mail. Pegg described the program as an “attract and retain initiative for college-age students in Central Ohio.” She said it impacts the decisions of college graduates on whether to stay or go by letting them know what all Columbus has to offer including places to shop, eat and attend events. Pegg referred to the city of Columbus as “a diverse, young, cool city.” The website is designed to inform individuals about events they might not know about otherwise. Sanlo said there is always something to do and somewhere to go in Columbus. “I have lived here year-round for almost three years now and I have never thought ‘I’m bored,’” Sanlo said.

student voice Accurate education best way to prevent sex mishaps LANTERN Columnist

Sex is a funny thing. Pretty much everyone does it, everyone’s parents have done it, and people tend to have very, very strong opinions about it … but so few people feel comfortable talking about it. Obviously, sex is an extremely personal thing. It’s also a routine, normal, necessary, and possibly dangerous thing. As much as humans love sex, there are also a whole lot of consequences that can accompany it: sexually transmitted infections DOROTHY POWELL such as syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, HPV powell.447@osu.edu and more, as well as pregnancy. So with all of the possible results of sex, as well as the fact that almost every single American has sex before turning 44 (99 percent, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a non-partisan think tank that focuses on research about sex and sexual health), it seems vital that everyone be as informed about sex as possible.

Unfortunately, there are many groups across the country that are actively spreading misinformation and blockading Americans’ access to education about sexual health. Only 13 states mandate that sex education be medically accurate, according to Guttmacher. Yes, you read that correctly. Thirteen. Ohio is not one of them. What is the value of sex ed that isn’t medically accurate? What is the point? More importantly, why wouldn’t a state want its children to learn how to protect themselves against or avoid the consequences of sex? And don’t go thinking that this is just a loophole that no one takes advantage of. A congressional report in 2004 found that many lies were being told in school sex ed, and that among these were that touching a woman’s genitals can result in pregnancy. Not only are lies a gross miscarriage of the duty our educational system owes our country, they’re downright dangerous. The fact is 99 percent of Americans have sex, and 95 percent of Americans have sex before they get married, according to Guttmacher. That’s not just some slutty girls with daddy issues on the outskirts of society. That’s almost everyone. By lying to our kids and failing to arm them with the tools they need to protect themselves (only 18 states plus Washington, D.C. require that their sex ed programs cover contraception, according to Guttmacher), we leave them open to a whole litany of diseases — not to mention that

our teenage birth rate is higher than that of most countries in western Europe. We need to stop lying to our kids, and we need to stop kidding ourselves and pretending that telling a teenager not to do something is effective. Teenagers are going to have sex. And even if they wait until they’re adults, or until they’re married, they’re still going to need information about contraception and sexual health. Our teenagers need to know that the only way to completely avoid STIs and pregnancy is not to have sex, but they also need to know how to decide when they’re ready to have sex, so that they can avoid being pressured into something they aren’t ready for. And, should they choose to have sex at some point in their lives (and odds are they will), they need to know that condoms are effective at preventing both pregnancy and most STIs. They also need to know about the wide variety of other forms of contraception available. Lying to teenagers and sticking our heads in the sand is not effective. Frankly, it’s immoral to deliberately spread lies in order to manipulate people. Comprehensive, medically accurate sex education is the only way to make sure that our young people lead healthy, fulfilling sex lives, now and in the future. Why wouldn’t we want that?

Let’s talk about football, not Aguilera’s singing blunder LANTERN Columnist RUBINA KAPIL kapil.5@osu.edu Prior to Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, all everyone talked about were the teams playing and commercials expected to be aired. The spirit for each team was remarkable, and the increasing rivalry added to the excitement of the game. However, it’s disappointing to see that days after the game, football seems to be the last of the discussion topics. Renowned artist Christina Aguilera was given the opportunity to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” live; as many people probably witnessed, she unfortunately did not do so perfectly. She forgot the line “O’er the ramparts we watched,” and it seems that this will never be forgotten. Since the game, this mishap has been analyzed and discussed constantly on both television and the Internet. Even as I browse Yahoo News days later, I see that articles regarding Aguilera’s blunder have as many views as worldwide news events. Something about that doesn’t seem right. Yes, Aguilera is an artist with a great deal of both talent and experience. She should know better. And yes, it is the National Anthem. And yes, it was on live television. However, it seems that we have all forgotten that she is also a normal person, and mistakes happen. Could you, the average American, sing the National Anthem before millions of viewers without a single error or nerves? Probably not. Accidentally forgetting a line of the National Anthem does not mean she is “less American” or “not proud of her country,” as many news websites and blogs are claiming. If anything, her mistake shows that she is not one to be placed on such a high pedestal. Her talent is what has brought her to such an esteemed position, however, she is still capable of making mistakes. It’s disappointing to see that many news stations are willing to discuss this to such an extent. Not only this, but it is disappointing to see so many people still discussing the matter. As entertaining as it might have seemed at the moment, it’s time to move on. YouTube videos and articles mocking her mistake are going one step too far. Rather than focusing on Aguilera’s mistake and what will come of it in regards to her career, we should discuss the entire purpose of the game itself: football.

Countless ways exist for any person to practice philanthropy

LANTERN Columnist

Walt Whitman once said “the habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.” I have come to find that this is very true. I have also found that you do not have to just give money. You can use your belongings, your family, your friends, your talents and your computer to help change the world. For real. In her book, “How to be an Everyday Philanthropist,” Nicole Boles gives the reader an awesome framework of suggestions, and I am sharing a couple this week. Using your talents and your time is something that we, as students, should take to heart. There are tons of students who used to play instruments in high school or have a jam band here on campus. How easy is it to do a show and take donations for a cause? I know a handful of people who have learned to knit from their grandmas. If you taught a circle of your pals to do basic knitting, you could knit helmet liners for U.S. Marines. Or you can be ambitious with your group and make a blanket for Project Linus (projectlinus.org), which gives blankets to children who have been ill or have experienced trauma. There are also opportunities locally, such as Columbus Reads. Ohio State is a partner in this group and you can spend an hour per week

reading to kids, helping them with their language skills. All of us can do the work of a 7-year-old. Maybe you are a hunter? You can donate what you hunt (h4hungry.org) to soup kitchens. Everyone who knows me knows my policy: meat not sweet. To use your belongings means to give up your stuff. In 2007, the U.S. Census Bureau of Statistics reported that 37 million Americans live below the poverty line. That is 12.5 percent of citizens who do not have enough clothes, food and cannot provide the luxuries of gifts

and books to their families. Dress for Success donates your gently worn women’s clothes to help them interview and get a job. You could give all your old pairs of glasses to OneSight (onesight.org) and help people all over the world see better.

Books for Africa and Reader to Reader are ways to give your books abroad and to local libraries and schools that need books. Inveneo is a great way to dispose of flash drives of 16 MB or more. And those of you ready to get rid of your bikes at the end of the year can donate to Bikes of the World and send that transportation somewhere around the world to help a local community. Giving is so easy. Sometimes it just takes some thought. Of course, there are millions of things you can recycle and lots of websites to help you with that. Being at college, we should also be learning about ways to help engage the world and give in new innovative ways. On April 15, there will be a free conference that you can sign up for called Alleviating Poverty Through Entrepreneurship. This means that the “bringing together of scholars, students, policymakers, and practitioners,” can provide a space for community to collaborate about poverty. We can all do something to battle poverty, hunger and injustice. Buy some TOMS Shoes or participate in UNICEF OSU chapter’s water walk April 14. One dollar can give a 40-day supply of water to a child. In a time when a lack of water kills more children than war, there is no time to hesitate on the importance for us all to become philanthropists.

Blessing in disguise HEAT ben axelrOD Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu

When Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta thinks his team needs a boost, he’ll sometimes show highlights of former OSU players to amp up his Buckeyes. One of Matta’s favorites involves a player still on his roster. During the final minutes of an 81-68 win against Jacksonville on Dec. 17, 2008, then-OSU junior David Lighty raced up the sideline and stole a pass to help move the then-No. 16 Buckeyes to 7-0 — all while playing on a broken foot. “He broke his foot in that game and continued to play the last five minutes,” Matta said, “and played harder than anybody I had ever seen.” At the time, Lighty’s injury was a blow to a Buckeye team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2007–08 season in which it didn’t make the NCAA Tournament. With Lighty’s foot recovering in time for a potential return to OSU at the tail end of the season, Matta debated bringing back the forward for a potential postseason run. “Part of me wanted to see how good that team could have been,” Matta said. “He was such an intricate part of it.” Matta ultimately decided against bringing back Lighty during the 2008–09 season, and the Buckeyes went on to make the 2009 NCAA Tournament, falling to Siena in the first round. With Lighty being granted a medical redshirt for that season, Matta recalled realizing that the injury could end up paying dividends for OSU in the long run. “I remember when he broke his foot and you’re visualizing ahead, and we knew we were going to have a big incoming class coming in that year,” Matta said. “I remember saying to myself, you know, this could be good to have David Lighty as a fifthyear senior guiding those guys.” Matta’s prophecy has turned into a reality this season, with Lighty playing a key role on a Buckeye team that is 24-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country. Lighty said there was never any doubt in his mind that his injury two seasons ago was a blessing in disguise. “I always look at it as a positive thing,” Lighty said. “Being with these guys one more year and being able to develop my game another year and especially having the chance and opportunity that we have right now to leave Ohio State, hopefully, as a national champion would be great.” Playing on a team with freshmen Jared Sullinger and Aaron Craft, who weren’t yet in high school when he was playing his first season at OSU, Lighty has made his impact mostly on the defensive end of the floor, something Matta says Lighty is the best in the country at doing. When the Buckeyes were tied with Northwestern during the final minutes of their Jan. 29 matchup, it was Lighty who made a key steal that resulted in the

Injury report:

The last time the Cavs won… The Ohio State men’s basketball team and the Cleveland Cavaliers both won on Dec. 18. Since then, OSU is 14-0. The Cavs are 0-25. Following Cleveland’s NBA-record 25th consecutive failure Monday night against Dallas, the top trending tag on Twitter was #lasttimethecavswon. Twitterers worldwide united to douse Clevelanders’ open wound with dash after dash of salt. According to the social media universe, the last time the Cavs finished on top: George Washington was president; the continents were one giant landmass called Pangaea; there was no such thing as Twitter; and we didn’t have to hide our kids, wives or husbands. In reality, the last time the Cavs won, the victory snapped a 10-game losing streak. In reality, the last time the Cavs won, the Cavs held the NBA mark for longest stretch of futility. Wait a second. Yes, the Cavs topped — er, bottomed — their own streak. The Cavs lost 24 consecutive games over the 1981–82 and 1982–83 seasons. Ugh. The last time the Cavs won, owner Dan Gilbert preferred Times New Roman, not the all-caps Comic Sans he used in his post-”Decision” letter berating LeBron James.

Senior Diebler on the threshold of Big Ten record niCK Otte Senior Lantern reporter otte.28@osu.edu Ohio State senior guard Jon Diebler arrived on campus four years ago with a reputation. Diebler’s 3,208 points in high school still stand as the all-time record for Ohio. His 41 points per game as a high school senior led the nation. A year prior, as a junior, Diebler scored 77 points in a single game, and as a sophomore he led his team to a 27-0 record and a Division II State Championship. Put simply, everyone knew Diebler could shoot the basketball. So it should come as no surprise that perhaps the most prolific scorer in Ohio high school history, and currently the starting shooting guard on the nation’s No. 1 college team, is closing in on the Big Ten record for 3-pointers made in a career. Despite all he had accomplished before coming to Columbus, there was a time when Diebler’s future might have seemed dim. As a freshman at OSU, he was not nearly the scorer many expected him to be. Diebler averaged just six points in his 21 minutes per game, and his frigid 29 percent from beyond the 3-point line had many Buckeye fans wondering whether he could live up to the hype. OSU coach Thad Matta, however, never lost confidence. “I’ve always had great faith in Jon,” Matta said. “I think, at times, I was the only one that had great faith in Jon, including himself.” His faith was well-deserved. Diebler has been a staple in the Buckeyes’ starting lineup for the past three

seasons and has averaged a team-high 34 minutes in OSU’s 24 games this season. His 49 percent from the field is tied for second on the team, and his 47 percent from behind the 3-point line is a team high. It’s easy to see how far he’s come since his struggles as a freshman. “You have to have a certain confidence about yourself,” Diebler said. “I think that’s where I’ve grown the most. I’ve become a lot more confident, not only shooting the ball but developing my game as an overall player.” Fifth-year senior forward David Lighty, who was a sophomore when Diebler arrived at OSU, has witnessed firsthand his teammate’s evolution. Save the games Lighty missed in the 2008–09 season because of injury, both he and Diebler have started alongside each other in nearly every game for the past three years. Lighty said that, while he always knew Diebler was a great shooter, he has seen the other facets of his game develop over time. And as the two have spent so much time together, he and Diebler have become great friends. “He was going to come in and score 50 points a game, like in high school,” Lighty said of his first impression of Diebler four

sports Can the Buckeyes run the table, or should they lose a game? After watching the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s first 24 games — 11 of which were against Big Ten opponents — there is no doubt in my mind that the Buckeyes can, and should, enter the NCAA Tournament with an unblemished record. What will happen once the Buckeyes find themselves in the middle of March Madness, however, is a different story. Ben axelr od But there’s a fallacy that, axelrod.17@osu.edu because any Big Ten team can beat another on any given night, the Big Ten is the best conference in college basketball. Don’t confuse a competitive conference for a quality conference. Apart from the Buckeyes, there is not one Big Ten team that has proven to be a legitimate contender for this season’s Final Four, let alone for a National Championship. What’s going to happen when OSU faces teams of comparable talent in March? The Buckeyes have proven they possess the ability to overcome deficits and win close games, as they should against inferior Big Ten opponents. But, come March, the Buckeyes will learn that what you can do to teams like Penn State and Northwestern is different from what you can do against talent-laden rosters such as Duke, Kentucky and Kansas. OSU freshman forward Jared Sullinger is the NBA draft prospect in the conference, who will be a lottery selection once he declares for the draft and could potentially be the only future first-round selection playing in the Big Ten this season. Besides Sullinger, who might be the best player in college basketball this season, the Buckeyes’ roster also consists of future NBA players, fifth-year senior forward David Lighty and junior guard William Buford. Conversely, only Purdue appears to have multiple NBA-ready players on its roster, seniors JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, both of whom are projected to be second-round picks this June. Looking at ESPN college basketball analyst Joe Lunardi’s latest projection of the NCAA Tournament’s field of 68, Duke is the No. 2 seed in the Buckeyes’ region, meaning that if things go as expected, OSU would meet Duke in the Elite Eight. Using the talent in the Big Ten to prepare for Duke’s crop of NBA prospects — including seniors Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler — would be the equivalent of using a night out in Columbus, Ohio, to prepare for a trip to Las Vegas. From Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade to Greg Oden and Joakim Noah, NBA-ready prospects have been as much of a staple of the Final Four as cutting down the nets and “One Shining Moment.” The Buckeyes have those types of players, but can they overcome teams with equal, or greater, talent? The Buckeyes will have to wait until March to learn the answer — and they might not like it.

There’s a problem with the expectations that come with a perfect record: Anything less than perfection is a total failure. That’s what Thad Matta’s Buckeyes (24-0, 11-0 Big Ten) are faced with. With their great season, these Buckeyes have set National Championship expectations just like the 2006–07 squad did. After what this team has shown chri s bider man so far, anything less would lead to biderman.1@osu.edu scarlet-and-gray heartbreak. There’s no more esteemed company than John Wooden’s undefeated UCLA championship teams of the 1960s and early ’70s, or Bobby Knight’s Indiana team of ’76 that went unbeaten en route to a title, so it’s unrealistic to put the 2011 Ohio State men’s basketball team into the same category. Now, the talent pool is as wide and deep as it’s ever been. The cliché exists for a reason: Any team can be beaten on any given night. If you don’t believe that, look at some of OSU’s stressful wins against lesser Big Ten teams and say you weren’t the least bit worried. You can’t. This team is far from perfect. It ranks 162nd in the country in rebounds and relies heavily on just seven players. Matta would tell you it still has plenty of room to improve, despite its flawless record. There would be little harm in the team familiarizing itself with the crushing feeling of defeat sooner, rather than later. A loss during the regular season or Big Ten Tournament wouldn’t change OSU’s chances at a No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament. Getting that sentiment out of the way would alleviate the added pressure of going into the NCAA Tournament undefeated and dealing with all the nonmaterial questions about Wooden, Knight and the historical implications. Not to say the Buckeyes should lose on purpose, but knowing what a loss feels like could be beneficial — just ask the football team. OSU would have to get 15 more wins in the regular season and postseason to get to a perfect 39-0, the pinnacle of the sport. It undoubtedly would be one of the most incredible achievements in sports history, given the era and climate of college hoops. Is this team capable? Perhaps. Is it likely to happen? No. Only seven teams have won national titles while going undefeated, none more recent than Knight’s ’76 Hoosiers. Eleven teams have finished the regular season undefeated in the tournament era and come up short of the title. The most recent team to do so was Jameer Nelson and Delonte West’s 2004 Saint Joseph’s Hawks — a team that’s hardly memorable. These Buckeyes don’t want to be in that category. That’s why a national title would mean far more than an undefeated regular season. If they were to flame out in the tournament, the only thing that would be remembered about the 2011 Buckeyes would be their failure to live up to expectations.

ties all-time major professional sports record for longest skid The last time the Cavs won, Manny Harris and Samardo Samuels, players earning major minutes for the Wine and Gold, were rotation afterthoughts. The last time the Cavs won, there wasn’t enough ammunition to add yet another chapter to the never-ending novel chronicling Cleveland sports pitfalls. The sad thing is, the last time the Cavs won, the bitter reality had yet to bite down on the franchise and its desperate fans. Sure, the Cavs were no longer an elite team without LeBron. But perhaps the worst team in NBA history? That wasn’t on the radar. The last time the Cavs won, there was still an iota of optimism somewhere near Lake Erie. Losing 25 in a row at anything screams pathetic. Even Derrick Rose — or whoever is taking his exam — could guess on 25 multiple choice questions and get one correct. Every blind squirrel finds a nut, but for the Cavs, those acorns seem ever elusive. The Cavs have sunk so low they’re like a penny at the bottom of the ocean, waiting for a blind swimmer to fish them out. Pundits are preparing for the

Lighty has earned the most career wins as a Buckeye game-winning free throw from Sullinger. The win gave the Buckeyes their 22nd consecutive win, a feat that Lighty — the player who’s been a part of the most wins in OSU history — has accomplished twice in his career. The other time came during his freshman season, 2006–07. Matta made a point of praising Lighty for the accomplishment following the game.

streak to end this week, eyeing Cleveland’s home contests against the lowly Detroit Pistons tonight or Los Angeles Clippers on Friday or Sunday against Washington, 0-25 on the road. Is that really what this franchise has come to? Putting all of its eggs in one basket, hoping for one streak-busting win to take the pressure off and make the Cavs the furthest thing from SportsCenter’s radar? Should they fall to Detroit on Wednesday, the Cavs’ spell would trump all other major professional sports losing streaks. The Philadelphia Phillies lost 23 straight games in 1961 and the Washington Capitals and San Jose Sharks hold the NHL mark with 17 consecutive defeats in 1974–75 and 1992–93, respectively. Topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 26-game slide from 1976 and 1977 would put the Cavs at the summit of Mount Losemore. I doubt this is what Gilbert had in mind when guaranteeing his franchise would win a title before LeBron’s would. My how fast the mighty have fallen. The door to a promising future has frozen shut. It’ll take years of fortuitous pingpong ball bounces to thaw it. Should the Cavs win a game this week, Cleveland can breathe easy for the time being. But there will still be about 25–30 games left on the team’s schedule — plenty of time to whip up a new streak of futility. “Of the four teams he’s played on, two … have won 22 games in a row at some point in his career,” Matta said. “That’s incredible.” Matta isn’t the only one to realize the impact Lighty has had on this year’s team. A freshman when Lighty broke his foot in 2008, junior guard William Buford said that what Lighty has brought to this year’s Buckeyes has been invaluable. “You’re always going to need Dave. He brings all the energy to the team,” Buford said. “He’s the most talkative guy when we’re on the floor. He’s the heart and soul to this team.”

Record from 5A

Diebler holds OSU record with 328 career 3-pointers years ago. “It just shows how he worked so hard on, not just shooting, but everything else that a basketball player needs to do. He’s a great guy, on and off the court, and been one of my best friends since I’ve been here.” But while both Diebler and Lighty are quick to mention how well-rounded a player Diebler has become, it’s no secret what his biggest strength is. Diebler’s 328 career 3-pointers are the most in school history and leave him just four shy of tying the Big Ten’s all-time record. “I’ve been fortunate enough to play with a lot of great players in my four years here, and I think that helps a lot because I get a lot of open looks,” Diebler said. “I honestly had no idea I was close (to the record) until it

was mentioned to me this year sometime. I mean, I never even thought of it.” The nation’s No. 1 and only undefeated team, the Buckeyes will spend the next two months competing for what would be the school’s first National Championship in more than 50 years. Although Diebler humbly deflects any praise from himself, at least one person isn’t shy about giving him his due credit — his coach. “I watched his work ethic from the day he walked in here, and I can remember when things maybe didn’t go well for him his freshman year in a particular game,” Matta said. “I would talk to the team after the game and he was so focused on me, and all he cared about was winning. I knew that if he kept that mindset and he continued to work at the level that I knew he was going to work at, he was going to be the player that he is today.”

aLeX haMPeL Lantern reporter hampel.11@osu.edu For the past few decades comedians have made jokes about smoking marijuana and getting high. Not many have been able to center their entire careers around it. Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong, the infamous stoner twosome, have been getting people high off their comedic skits focused on weed and their love for the notorious plant. The chronic duo is taking its herbal humor all over America on its “Get It Legal” tour. “It’s time to get it legal, before it’s too late,” Chong told CelebStoner.com. “We want to promote change through laughter. The marijuana laws are so ridiculous; you’ve got to laugh at them.” In 2005, the duo had a reunion tour called “Light Up America,” which focused on the more traditional and famous bits they performed in their movies and shows. The intention of this tour is to bring more attention to the legalization of marijuana. “Their objective is just that,” said Joe Graziano, Cheech & Chong’s tour manager. “They want to make marijuana legal.” Graziano said the tour is not necessarily new material, but it highlights some of the duo’s less renowned skits. “There’s some music, there’s some comedy bits, there’s a little bit of everything,” Graziano said. “It kind of highlights their career. It starts at the beginning and wraps up with the reunion days.” Graziano said Chong’s marijuana-based political battles and previous run-ins with the police inspired Cheech & Chong’s tour. In 2003, Chong was allegedly targeted by police investigations that focused on businesses that sold drug paraphernalia. During the trial, the prosecuting attorney said Chong “used his public image to promote this crime,” The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. This trial and his sentence of nine months imprisonment caused civil rights advocates to begin a “Free Tommy Chong!” movement that demanded his release. Following his release, Chong has been an avid critic of his trial and has made several appearances on television and radio shows, and has written about his experience in jail. Cheech & Chong have partnered with the Marijuana Policy Project, a Washington D.C. based group, in effort to promote the need for marijuana law reform to a wider audience. “We wanted to help Cheech & Chong use their genius marijuana-focused comedy to make people laugh while educating them as well,” said Morgan Fox, the communication manager for MPP.

t ommy Chong (top) and Richard ‘Cheech’ Marin (right) will be performing comedy as part of their ‘Get It Legal’ t our on Friday at the Palace theatre.

This year’s Best Director race seems to be a fairly easy one to predict, with one director dominating all the pre-Oscar awards. The nominees for the award are Darren Aronofsky for “Black Swan,” David O. Russell for “The Fighter,” Tom Hooper for “The King’s Speech,” David Fincher for “The Social Network” and the Coen brothers for “True Grit.” This year’s Best Director race is filled with a lot of great nominees, but will probably be predictable. David Fincher, the always impressively detailed director (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) behind this year’s awards phenomenon, “The Social Network,” is going through the season full-force, winning nearly every award and positioning himself well to be the frontrunner for the Oscar as well. Fincher is one of those directors

who consistently delivers one fantastic film epic after another, but Oscar gold has eluded him up until now. Hooper crafted an immensely likable film, “The King’s Speech,” which is as affecting as it is serious, and tells a familiar story in an enlivening way. The film has been very popular, likely because it is uplifting and audience-friendly, and that’s a testament to Hooper’s ability to craft the film so that it can be a crowd pleaser without losing its integrity. Russell, in what is the biggest surprise in this years director’s category, rode the success of his boxing drama “The Fighter” all the way to a deserved nomination. Russell directs his actors to such a high level that the film exceeded all expectations and became more than just a cliché underdog boxing movie. Aronofsky, one of the most daring

and creative directors working today, was an obvious nominee for his work on the frightening and gripping “Black Swan,” and might even be a winner in a year without “The Social Network.” The way he manipulates his audience and, in the end, leaves them ravished is deserving of a nomination by itself, but he also plants emotional and beautiful moments to make a movie that you literally can’t take your eyes off of. And the Coen Brothers, those old Oscar standbys, are back with another reliably interesting and exceedingly good film, this time a remake of the classic Western “True Grit.” The brothers do a great job of both doing the genre proper justice along, respecting the source material and bringing their own sensibilities to the project.

Household pets performing big-top acts keLSey GIVenS Lantern reporter givens.64@osu.edu The “Popovich Comedy Pet Theater” will be in town Saturday for two performances at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts. The show is a variety act of pet tricks, jugglers and other circus acts put together by fourth-generation Russian circus performer Gregory Popovich. “When I came to America, I came as a juggler, because I am one of the best in the world,” Popovich said. “I wanted to build my own show and I decided to use pets because I am good with animals, but it’s not only a pet show, it’s a combination of human and animal talent.” The performance showcases 35 of Popovich’s pets, all of which he adopted from animal shelters, said Kristin Ferguson, marketing director for the McCoy Center. “I visited the shelter and found out how many kitties and puppies need a new master,” Popovich said. “It was painful for me to hear about the reasons these animals came to the shelter since I am an animal lover. So I try to send a clear message during the show that animals are people too.” Each of Popovich’s rescued pets only do a few tricks per show, all of which they like to do naturally.

arts&life Lantern CD Reviews Akron/Family too weird for enjoyment Pat B rennan Lantern reporter brennan.164@osu.edu Folk-infused experimental rockers Akron/Family offer their first studio release since 2009 with “S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT.” Fans might find this latest effort from Akron/Family to be as perplexing as the name of the album itself. Bandmates Dana Janssen, Seth Olinsky and Miles Seaton, who supposedly recorded the album in a cabin built into a Japanese volcano, were certainly in “experiment mode” when penning lyrics for the album’s lead track, “Silly Bears.” The instrumentation of the song is, at times, reminiscent of fellow psychedelic rockers Animal Collective. The lyrics fail, though (perhaps harmful volcanic fumes are to blame): “One silly bear said to the other silly bear/ where’d you get that honey / that honey so sweet?” An acoustic version of “Silly Bears” can be found online and would likely be more palatable to listeners. Unfortunately for Akron/ Family, the same could be said of the entire album. Be prepared for more headscratching lyrics on “So it Goes,” which at the outset features a

“S/t II: the Cosmic Birth... ” akron/Family

vocal performance that could best be described as gibberish. The song redeems itself with an enjoyable, wailing guitar riff, however. The fast tempo of “Another Sky” is generally impressive, thanks to the up-beat guitar work from the Portland, Ore., and New York City-based trio. The song is also fraught with the kind of seemingly irrelevant, indiscernible background instrumentation that has become an unfortunate characteristic of modern experimental music. The album winds down on the second-to-last track, “Canopy,” which is far from uplifting. In fact, it’s downright gloomy. I suggest the “skip” button for this track. You will need to be in a truly “experimental” mood while taking in Akron/Family’s “S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT.” If you are looking to achieve a jaunt into psychedelia, you ought to look elsewhere.

Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Cincinnati’s Over The Rhine took an extended break between 2007’s “The Trumpet Child” and its new release, “The Long Surrender.” As the band is normally quite prolific, fans might be expecting something huge. “The Long Surrender” isn’t it. The band, centered around vocalist Karin Bergquist and pianist/guitarist Linford Detweiler, doesn’t live up to the group’s previous efforts. The group produced 20 phenomenal tracks in the two years it took to create the 2003 album “Ohio,” so it’s a little disappointing that the 13 tracks on “The Long Surrender” can’t touch “Ohio.” The band isn’t known for having a particularly thick sound. Often, the only musical elements are Bergquist’s voice and Linford’s slow piano background. When this is the case, the narrative needs to be enthralling to keep the listener hooked. Normally the group excels at producing prose, and Bergquist’s smooth, bluesy voice provides all the right intonations. Bergquist is as

wonderful as ever, but the lyrical stories he tells are less enrapturing than normal. Songs like “Sharpest Blade” and “There’s a Bluebird in My Heart” are at best so-so in their effectiveness. There are still positive moments present on the album, however. “The Laugh of Recognition” and “Infamous Love Songs” meld happy and sad elements, and the results are some deliciously bittersweet tracks. This is not an album (or band for that matter) for people looking for upbeat. The band is generally at its best when the mood is mellow, and tracks like “Rave On” are danceable in name only. “The Long Surrender” could have been a lot worse, granted. But after four years, Over The Rhine fans expected something bigger, if not better.

“the W örld Is yours” Motörhead

Bands don’t stick around as long as they used to. One band from yesteryear that continues to plow forward is Motörhead. The ever-umlauted group just released its 20th studio album, “The Wörld is Yours.” Part of the group’s continued existence is its dedication to the heavy metal genre that it started playing in 1975, even if that means the band hasn’t updated its style in the 19 albums since. Although it doesn’t have a Zeppelin-esque number of hits in its catalog (discounting “Ace of Spades”), the band has stuck to its style guns because it keeps the fans coming back. Moral: Don’t expect any high-tech trickery or violins in “The Wörld is Yours.” A downside to the newest Motörhead release is that vocalist Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister just sounds old. At 65 years, his voice just isn’t in the same place it was in the ‘70s. But he hasn’t mellowed out. He’s as rowdy and spiteful as ever on tracks like “Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye.” Thematically, the song titles show the band is still writing from a heavy metal mindset. “I Know How To Die” and “Devils in My

Head” are among the heavier if more clichéd tracks on the album. Although the album’s title sounds optimistic, the first track reminds the listener that they were “Born to Lose.” Most people don’t go to Motörhead for its Shakespearean lyrics, however. Musically, the group is still up to snuff. Particularly exciting is guitarist Phil Campbell. He lays down a mean riff for “Waiting for The Snake,” and his solos are excellent. The guitar solo has lost some luster in recent years, but Campbell’s are original and well placed, especially on “Bye Bye,” where he carries the second half of the song. The cowbell also makes an appearance on “Get Back in Line.” “The Wörld is Yours” is far from the year’s most original album. But it serves well for those who like raw rawk ‘n’ roll.

arts&life Wex film shows design aspects of food

Training from 1B

Circus juggler trains animals to perform ‘natural’ acts

“I decided not to use any difficult tricks or push the animals too hard,” Popovich said. He built one “act where dogs act like students in the classroom, similar to children in a live situation,” he said. “I built it simple and easy for the animals to do.” Popovich has found over the years that the best way to train and develop tricks for his pets is to start by observing their natural behavior. But there are two completely different processes to train the animals: one for cats and one for dogs. “Dogs work for reward, but the cats are independent; I have to find their natural behavior. As soon as I find out what it is, I build a trick on the natural behavior,” Popovich said. “It’s a peaceful agreement on the stage.” The show is set to celebrate its 15-year anniversary next year. Each year since its inception, the show has grown in its number of animals. “I started with maybe one or two cats and dogs, but every year I go back to the shelter and pick up one or two more,” Popovich said. The McCoy Center is located at 100 W. Dublin-Granville Road. The show will begin Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $25-$35 and there is a 10 percent discount for students, Ferguson said.

Sarah Sute r Lantern reporter suter.35@osu.edu “Food Design” is a documentary that highlights consumer relationships with food and how these bonds lead to product development. It is scheduled to show at the Wexner Center for the Arts tonight. The film describes all of the elements of foods, and why they are presented to consumers in certain shapes, sizes and textures. One portion of the film focuses on sensory testing and evaluation, which is when companies present products or ideas to customers and get feedback about it. Sometimes these tests are in the form of focus words that the customer must choose from, other times it’s taste testing. The film places emphasis on visual sensory testing, which involves consumers viewing pictures of foods, and then choosing which image they prefer. “It’s not as good as putting a whole, real dish in front of people, but it is statistically valid as an indicator of preference,” Mark Thomas said. Thomas is a consultant for M.D.T. Ltd., which is a company that deals with concept development of food products, menus and marketing. He is also an adjunct teacher at the Culinary Institute of America and the University of Georgia. “It can help narrow down the number of new product ideas that a company wants to invest in, and it can help refine those ideas as they get further down the developmental process,” Thomas said. In contrast, during part of the documentary, some visual tests take place in the beginning of product development. In the example, the flavors of the foods have yet to be considered, and the company is acting mostly on picture response. Other parts of the documentary showcase “how form, color, smell, consistency, the sounds made during eating, manufacturing technique, history and stories influence food design,” according to the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam website. The process of food design is similar to that of any type of design, said Paul Nini, a professor in Ohio State’s Department of Design. “Designers interact with users and audience members quite a bit to determine their needs, and to provide communications, products and spaces that will be of benefit to them,” Nini said. As for differences, he said he felt this documentary showed “marketing research meant to persuade consumers.” Visual communication design itself is not necessarily used as a business method, he said. The documentary “Tar Creek” will be played prior to “Food Design;” the double feature starts at 7 p.m.

Part of ‘Food Design’ focuses on sensory testing and focus groups, such as this Pepsi Company meeting for the product Mountain Dew. You get “two films for the price of one,” said Tim Fulton, the Wexner Center media coordinator. Fulton said these films are part of the series “Field & Screen 2011: Films about our Food and Environment.” This is the second year for the series. Tickets can be purchased online through the Wexner Center website or directly through the ticket office. It is $5 for students to attend and $7 for the general public.
