BOSTON — By the time the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s dressing room was open to media after its Saturday win against Syracuse, the words “National Championship” had been inscribed on a whiteboard for all to see.

The Buckeyes survived a tightly ofÿciated contest in which 49 fouls were called to win the region and punch its ticket to the Final Four in New Orleans with a 77-70 win against top-seeded

Syracuse (34-3) in the NCAA Tournament East Regional Championship Saturday at TD Garden in Boston.

Contrary to what the whiteboard indicated, Matta said the team was trying to cherish the win.

“I’ve been a head coach now for 12 years,” Matta said. “And the one thing I’ve always tried to do is enjoy the special moments.”

Matta also said the team would have additional time to savor their victory because it didn’t know who their next opponent would be, but as of Sunday night, that has changed.

Kansas, the No. 2-seeded Midwest Region

champion, is standing directly in the Buckeyes’ path to the title game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

The Jayhawks beat the Tarheels, 80-67, Sunday to book their trip to New Orleans.

The matchup between OSU and KU will be a familiar one as the teams met on Dec. 10 at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. The Jayhawks took the regular season meeting, 78-67, behind junior center Thomas Robinson’s 21-point output.

SARAH STEMEN Oller reporter stemen.66@osu.edu Members of campus faculty groups at Ohio State have spoken out against the university’s proposal to lease its parking assets to a private operator for a one-time, up-front cost at a minimum $375 million.

Geoff Chatas, university chief ÿnancial ofÿcer, said OSU is preparing the request for proposals, phase three of the ÿve-step process. A request for proposal occurs when the university invites prospective third-party vendors to submit a proposal concerning a speciÿc commodity, which in this case would be parking.

“We are working towards issuing the formal RFP at the end of April, but this will be subject to everyone having a chance to have input into the process of drafting the document,” Chatas said.

OSU Faculty Council proposed a resolution opposing parking privatization, explaining reasons why the university should choose to keep the rights to its own parking.

THOMAS BRADLEY / Campus editor

The university’s plan to lease the parking assets to an outside vendor could bring in big money for the academic core, but some faculty members say it comes at a price.

Paul Beck, an OSU professor in the political science department and member of the faculty council, said one reason many faculty members oppose the change is due to the

private operator being permitted to raise parking prices by 7.5 percent each year for the ÿrst 10 years, or the price of in° ation, whichever is higher.

This rate is much higher than the

average 4.8 increase for an ‘A’ permit from 2003 to 2012, according to the resolution.

“The more I thought about it, the more I thought this is unfair,” Beck said. “Not only to faculty and staff, but for students as well because they are paying double. First they are paying for their tuition, but then they’re being hit again by increasing parking prices.”

OSU ofÿcials have said the proÿts the university plans to make from privatizing its parking will be reinvested into the university’s academic core.

Chatas said the administration has taken notice of the faculty opposition and will continue to work with them to explain the beneÿts of the proposal.

“Since last fall, we have been having robust discussions with faculty to address their issues and explain how pursuing innovative ÿnancial strategies will help the university achieve its goals of becoming one of the nation’s top public universities,”

President Barack Obama speaks about his energy plan in the RPAC Thursday.

A garage that houses the high-powered Buckeye Bullet, exhaust pipes and grease cleaned up its act one day to play host to the Secret Service and the Commander-in-Chief of the United States.

Prior to his remarks about energy, President Barack Obama visited with OSU students to see their projects at the Center of Automotive Research (CAR) facility Thursday.

CAR is “an interdisciplinary research center in the College of Engineering,” according to its website.

Much of CAR’s research focuses on electric engines, alternative fuels, reduction in fuel emissions and vehicle construction.

Obama visited OSU as part of a nation tour to discuss his all-the-above energy strategy. OSU was his ÿnal stop after visiting Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

“Now, this is our last stop on a trip where we’ve been talking about an all-the-above energy strategy for America,” Obama said. “A strategy where we produce more oil, produce more gas, but also produce more American biofuels and more fuelefÿcient cars, more solar power, more wind power, more power from the oceans, more clean and renewable energy.

“You know what I’m talking about here, because this school is a national leader in developing new sources of energy and advanced vehicles that use a lot less energy,” Obama said.

Obama visited with students and faculty at CAR to brie° y discuss their research and projects, including the ECOCAR and the Buckeye Bullet.

OSU’s ECOCAR was entered in a national collegiate competition sponsored by General Motors and the U.S. Department of Energy. The competition requires students to “create a vehicle that is more efÿcient, uses less petroleum and has fewer

campus Accelerating gas prices set record high for March Rose Zhou Lantern reporter zhou.371@osu.edu As students come back from Spring Break to begin Ohio State’s final quarter, the U.S. average price of a gallon of regular gas has climbed to $3.89, the highest in U.S. history for the month of March.

The average cost of unleaded gasoline in the metro-Columbus area was $3.92 as of Sunday, which was up almost 20 cents from the previous week, and more than 50 cents from a year ago, according to the American Automobile Association daily fuel gauge report.

Gas prices at stations near the OSU campus are higher than the metro-Columbus average. The Shell gas station on High Street and Lane Avenue sold unleaded gas for $3.99 and mid-grade fuel for $4.18 Sunday.

President Barack Obama visited OSU’s campus to pitch his energy policy Thursday while central Ohioans were paying almost $4 at the pump.

In order to reduce high gas prices, the president addressed increasing fuel efficiency and renewable energy sources as opposed to his Republican opponents’ one-track focus on domestic drilling.

“So the problem is not that we’re not drilling, or that we’re not producing more oil,” Obama said. “We are producing more oil than any time in the last eight years. That’s not the problem.”

Obama also mentioned the Keystone XL plan as part of his energy policy, which would extend the Keystone Pipeline that will pump oil from Canada to the Midwest.

Obama toured OSU’s Center for Automotive

Research before giving the speech. The center is the home to the fastest electric car in the world.

“You know what I’m talking about here,” Obama said. “Because this school is a national leader in developing new sources of energy and advanced vehicles that use a lot less energy.”

The president said vehicles are expected to average 55 miles per gallon by the middle of next decade. In addition, doubling current mileage standards will save the average family $8,000 at the pump over the life of the vehicle.

Jim Chen, a Ph.D student who specializes in renewable energy studies at OSU, said Obama’s energy strategy is not the right remedy for the rapidly rising gasoline prices.

“Although renewable energy, like wind and solar power, has a huge potential, the cost of incorporating a large amount of such energy at current stage is too high to decrease the gasoline price,” Chen said. “The related technique is not mature enough compared to the traditional oil-based one.”

Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney said that gas prices will probably remain high, and that the US should start to develop energy resources.

“I think gasoline prices are going to be high,” Romney told New Orleans radio host Tommy Tucker.

“However, they don’t have to be as high as we’re seeing under this president if we develop our own energy resources and provide them to the refiners.”

Scott Plunkett, a fourth-year in biochemistry, said he thinks the administration has no control over the predetermined oil prices.

“You can’t say that we have control over oil prices when oil companies, in fact, post large profits quarter after quarter,” Plunkett said. “Clearly we are not the ones causing this, it’s a global policy.”

The Shell station at Lane Avenue and High Street was selling gas for $3.99 Sunday afternoon, which is a little more than the national average.

Kimberly Schwind, AAA Ohio Auto Club public relations manager, explained rising fuel costs throughout the country in an email to The Lantern.

“Oil prices for much of 2012 have been driven by global news — geopolitical tension with Iran, sovereign debt concerns in the Euro zone and signs of economic recovery both domestically and abroad.” Schwind said. “Gas prices follow a typical yearly cycle. When looking at historical price data, gas prices typically peak around the second week of May and hit their bottom in December … This year, many are speculating that the peak is hitting a little earlier and higher than usual.”

A new study suggests that different types of music can influence some white college students to make racially-driven decisions. Pictured above is Weigel Hall Auditorium, associated with OSU ’s School of Music.

Music influences ethnic favoritism, study shows Lisa Ba refie ld Lantern reporter barefield.2@osu.edu Listening to Bruce Springsteen won’t make you a racist, but according to a recent study the sounds of rock music can cause white college students to favor groups similar to themselves more than other ethnic and racial groups.

In a study conducted by Heather LaMarre, a graduate student in communication at Ohio State, 148 white students listened to three genres of music and were asked to distribute funds to campus groups associated with African American, Arab American, Latino American and agricultural and rural studies.

“People tend to pick music that they relate to, so what we’re saying is the more you listen to music you relate to and identify with, the more you favor your own ethnicity,” said Lamarre, a professor of journalism professor and mass communication at the University of Minnesota.

Students sat in a waiting room with either mainstream rock, Top 40 music or radical whitepower rock playing softly in the background for seven minutes before giving their feedback.

The study found that after listening to Top 40 tunes, students distributed tuition funds about equally among the four groups.

Radical rock listeners favored the agriculture group, which pre-tests showed is highly associated with white Americans, designating 40 percent of the funds to them.

They gave roughly 25 percent to Latino Americans, 16 percent to African Americans and only 15 percent to Arab Americans.

“On one hand, we have the people listening to the negative, hateful music. Of course it affects them, and they sort of punish the minority groups,” LaMarre said.

Mainstream rock, such as Springsteen and The White Stripes, yielded about 35 percent of tuition funds going to agriculture studies and equal amounts to the others.

“On the other hand, you have the people listening to the sort of empowering, identifiable, culturally relevant mainstream rock and they’re not trying to punish those groups, but they still favor their own group,” Lamarre said. “So in essence, both groups end up hurting the minority groups, but for different reasons.”

The Top 40 music consisted of artists like Justin Timberlake and Fergie, while the radical rock included Bound for Glory and Prussian Blue.

LaMarre conducted the study alongside associate professor Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick and graduate student Greg Hoplamazian, both of the School of Communication at OSU. “Heather was in a graduate class that I taught Spring (Quarter) 2007,” Knobloch-Westerwick said in an email. “The idea was developed in that context.”

Under Knobloch-Westerwick, LaMarre began to look closely at how the music on MP3 players affects the listener’s behavior.

In a time when students walk to class plugged into whatever music they choose, she became interested because “they’re not just listening to the radio anymore.”

LaMarre said she has received some flak from critics who say her study attempts to prove that rock music leads to racial discrimination.

“If you identify with Bruce Springteen, the bluecollar, white America that he sings about, it can make you feel so connected that you treat white America better,” she said. “That’s not racism, that’s in-group favoritism.”

The trio tried to test the same theory with African Americans listening to rap, hip-hop and radical rap.

“We found something similar. The problem was we only had nine or 10 participants,” she said.

Due to the small sample, the findings could not be published.

Justin Rupp, a fourth-year in psychology, said as an avid rock music fan, he can’t dispute the results of her study of white students.

“There’s a sense of a different generation being conveyed in rock ‘n’ roll,” he said. “It would be interesting to see the effects of country music or techno.”

LaMarre said she would be interested in conducting further studies across all ethnicities and the music genres relevant to their culture.

“Music has the power to do two different things.

It has the power, generally, to make you feel so connected to your ethnic and cultural identity that you favor everybody else,” she said. “If it’s hate filled, to make you not just favor your own group, but also punish the groups that are targeted in those hate-filled lyrics.”

Chatas said. “It’s all about enabling us to hire more faculty, generate more student scholarships and improve our campus.”

Enrico Bonello, an OSU professor in plant pathology and member of faculty council, said faculty council members want the administration to make them more involved in the process and informed of actions being taken.

“The administration keeps telling us the same things that are not making sense logically and it’s very difficult for us to accept,” Bonello said. “We just feel like we’re being talked down to.”

Beck said many faculty council members feel they’ve been shut out of the process.

“We teach our students to be open and objective and I think the university should do the same,” he said. “We just wanted to get information that we need to have to be able to make this decision and they’re not giving us that information.”

Although OSU would receive a one-time payment, the university would still be responsible for paying off its parking garage debt and paying for the Campus Area Bus Service, among other parking costs, according to the resolution.

“According to the current framework and parameters, there really isn’t any cash available for investment in the core, unless you take it from other parts,” Bonello said.

Beck said he understands the university’s efforts to try to profit from parking, but the profitable benefits are nonexistent.

“As I began to dig more deeply and listen to the administration talk about what it’s going to do with the money, I realized they are trying to spend the proceeds twice and they can’t do that of course,” he said.

University officials will not share with faculty members where the $375 million minimum originated from and denied public records requests, saying it was a trade secret.

President E. Gordon Gee told The Lantern in February some of the proposals the university has received “far exceed” $375 million, the benchmark for proposals.

“The initial question that was asked by a lot of people would be would we even get our minimum,” Gee said. “Our minimum concept was about 375 million dollars. And several of the proposals far and

Schwind said AAA is encouraged by several developments this week that have the potential to remove some of the risk premium from the market that has driven crude oil and gasoline prices higher this year.

“News that Saudi Arabia will be sending increased crude oil to the U.S. and President Obama’s announcement that the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline will be fast-tracked have the potential to put downward pressure on global oil prices and, by extension, gasoline prices in many markets,” Schwind said.

away exceed that. So it’s being now analyzed and we’ll move from there.”

According to the resolution, the private operator would receive all parking revenue, which is valued at about $28 million for fiscal year 2012.

The vendor would then be responsible for parking expenses that total less than half of revenues. For fiscal year 2012, expenses are estimated between $9 million and $11 million.

Bonello said he also understands why the university is looking to parking for revenue.

“I understand the predicament that the university finds itself in terms of finding cash, because we all know how much funding is being cut and all of that,” he said. “It’s just that I believe that this is the wrong way to go about it.”

Another concern of the faculty council was the Department of Transportation and Parking Services employees, who will be given the opportunity to interview with the third-party vendor, but not guaranteed jobs. “(The administration) is acting like they are only interested in the cash flow and not what’s going to happen to these people,” Bonello said. “Just total disregard with what happens or what that means to actual people.”

Another OSU professor of rural sociology and geography and a member of faculty council, Linda Lobao, said the issue of the sense of community is mainly why she opposes the proposal.

“Based upon what we know so far, I see this as a short-term gain, long-term pain situation,” Lobao said.

“The university is moving in the direction of becoming a concession stand, not a cohesive unit. We’re supposed to be one university, one community.”

Lobao and Bonello said they’ve not heard one professor who has voiced an opinion in favor of the proposal.

“I have heard an overwhelming voice of opposition,” Lobao said. “I have not heard of any faculty member that supports privatization.”

Lobao said she sees parking as a core asset to the university.

“In contrast to President Gee, as a sociologist, I see parking as a core asset,” she said. “Faculty need access to students, students need access to classes and staff needs access to perform their basic duties.”

Sunday, did not play in the game due to back spasms.

OSU and Kansas are joined in the Final Four by Louisville, the West Region champion, and Kentucky, the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed and champion of the South Region.

After Saturday’s win against the Orange, Matta said the Buckeyes will begin preparing for its national semifinal game on Monday.

Progression to the Final Four was in doubt early in the East Regional Championship.

OSU sophomore forward Jared Sullinger sat in his track suit for all but 6:18 of the first half due to early foul trouble. By game’s end, Sullinger had tallied a game-high 19 points — nine of his points came from the foul line.

Sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith, Jr. scored 18 points and shot 50 percent from 3-point range, hitting 3-of-6 attempts. Sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas, who collected four fouls of his own, finished the game with 14 points.

Sullinger was the first victim of the tightly-called affair by game officials John Higgins, Michael Nance and Thomas O’Neill.

With 13:42 to play in the first half and OSU leading, Sullinger was slapped with his second foul of the game and was forced to the bench.

When play stopped at the 11:22 mark of the first half with the Buckeyes leading, 18-15, Matta walked across the court and shouted to the CBS television broadcasting team to see if the correct call was made.

The broadcasters appeared to indicate the call was incorrect, and Matta stomped on the floor in frustration.

Initially, the Buckeyes stumbled on offense without Sullinger in the lineup, scoring just 16 points after his departure. Despite the lack of scoring, OSU’s defense held Syracuse in check and the teams went into half tied at 29.

Sullinger said the defensive effort sustained his team’s attempt at the regional championship.

“These guys have played without me before, so they know what they have to do,” Sullinger said. “We just kept competing on the defensive end. I think that’s what won the basketball game.”

OSU appeared to be rolling to the title in the second half after building a 10-point lead, but the

Orange slowly chipped away despite road blocks created by the referees‘ decisions. Syracuse was hampered by freshman forward Rakeem Christmas’s fourth foul.

Christmas, who finished the game with six points and two rebounds, had to leave the game.

Orange senior guard Scoop Jardine, who finished the night with 14 points and six assists, refused to blame his team’s loss on officiating, saying that OSU deserved credit for the win.

“Without the referees, (OSU) played a good game, and that’s all I’ve got to say about that,” Jardine said. “We’re not going to blame the refs. I think we had a chance to win the game no matter what, with or without the refs.”

OSU’s quick start became a 13-3 run that saw it extend the advantage to 45-36 with 14:05 to play.

Sullinger was back, and the entire building knew it. The big man dumped six points on the Orange during that run.

All the calls were going the Buckeyes’ way at that point. The many thousands of orange-colored T-shirts sat quietly as the Scarlet and Gray-clad OSU supporters that dotted the stands roared with approval at the top of their lungs.

Syracuse cut its deficit to one point, but fell short.

The Buckeyes made their free throws in the closing seconds, and Syracuse missed several of the shots that comprised its last-ditch effort.

In what could have been his last game, Buford iced the contest with two more free throws. Thomas then tacked on two more with less than two seconds to play.

It was all over but the trophy hoisting and donning of championship T-shirts and ball caps.

OSU had out-lasted a 34-win Syracuse team. It survived Sullinger for the majority of the first half, and Craft in the dying moments of the game — all in the midst of having 20 fouls called against it.

Buford said the win felt great considering no current player on the team has advanced to the Final Four.

“To make it this far is kind of a relief to know that hard work pays off,” he said. “We’ve been working hard throughout the summer and throughout the season, and to make it to the Final Four is just great for us.”

It’s time for OSU to get back to work.

“We’ve got a week to prepare for (Kansas),” Matta said. “And get ready to go.”

OSU’s national semifinal game against KU will tip at 9 p.m.

Obama from 1A

CAR students said meeting the president was an honor emissions while still maintaining consumer acceptability and appeal,” said Sarah Jadwin, a second-year in accounting and outreach coordinator for ECOCAR. OSU’s ECOCAR was a GM crossover utility vehicle that is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. OSU won second place in the national ECOCAR competition.

Travis Trippel, a fourth-year in mechanical engineering, worked on OSU’s ECOCAR and was one of the students who met Obama last Thursday.

“It was pretty incredible,” Trippel said. “We worked three years on this vehicle, so getting to show him what we had spent all of our free time on to develop ourselves and to try and further understand the vehicle development process that major manufacturers, like GM, follow. Just to have all that time and effort come into fruition and to be able to show it to the president of all people was pretty incredible.”

Andrew Garcia, a first-year master’s student in mechanical engineering, shook hands with Obama and described the president as personable.

“It was kind of surreal at first and a weird thing,” Garcia said. “It was surprising how kind of personable he was. Right when he started talking it was like a one-on-one talking with a normal person. He was just asking very normal questions that were kind of technical too, and it was nice to see he was genuinely interested in what we had to say.”

Obama also saw the Buckeye Bullet, which is a student project to create the fastest electric race car. The Buckeye Bullet holds the record for fastest race car on the planet, reaching a top recorded speed of 307.666 mph.

“I just had a chance to take a tour of the Center of Automotive Research. Now I admit, the best part of it was seeing the Buckeye Bullet, which has gone over 300 miles an hour and is now shooting for 400 miles an hour.

“But for anybody who’s not familiar with this, the Buckeye Bullet is the fastest electric car in the world. The fastest in the world. I don’t know who’s going to need to go that fast. But it is a testament to the ingenuity here at Ohio State and what is essential to American leadership when it comes to energy — our brain power,” Obama said.

Cary Bork, a second-year graduate student in mechanical engineering, was a team member who worked on Buckeye Bullet and met Obama.

“That was pretty incredible,” Bork said. “He seemed genuinely interested in the project and asked a bunch of questions.”

Bork said Obama asked questions like who drives the car, the

purpose behind the car and what improvements the team works toward on the next vehicle to make it faster.

Due to security reasons, CAR students had to walk from CAR on Kinnear road to the RPAC and arrived late to Obama’s speech Thursday. However, some students took an interest about Obama’s views on energy.

“I was definitely interested to hear what he had to say about energy, but ultimately I didn’t feel as if he said a whole lot in his speech,” Trippel said. “He said we need to lower gas prices, so obviously I agree with that, and then he was talking about drilling and even if we drill everywhere we can in the United States, we’re not going to have enough oil to support ourselves, so we need to be looking at alternative energy, like we do with ECOCAR.” During Obama’s speech, Obama said his goal by the middle of the next decade is to raise fuel economy standards to 55 miles per gallon.

Right now, the standard is 27.3 miles per gallon, according to consumerreports.org.

“After decades of inaction, we raised fuel economy standards, so that by the middle of the next decade, our cars will average nearly 55 miles per gallon, almost double what we get today,” Obama said. “That means you’ll be able to fill up your car every two weeks instead of every week. That will save the average family about $8,000 at the pump over the life of a car, which is real money.”

Yet CAR students say Obama’s idea is not as easy as it might seem.

Bork said it is a conflict between performance of a car versus the cost of the vehicle, and one will have to compromise the other.

“Fifty-five miles per gallon is very difficult to achieve. There’s always a trade-off between the size of the vehicle and its performance, you know how quickly it accelerates and how much power it has and also the fuel consumption,” Bork said. “It’s possible to have a car that has enormous performance, great fuel economy and is large, but it’s probably going to be way too expensive for anyone to buy. In the same realm, you can make something cheap with great fuel economy, but it is probably going to have poor performance and be very light-weight and very small.”

Trippel said he thinks it will happen, but it will be costly.

“It will happen. Obviously it has to with government regulations going that way,” Trippel said. “It’s tough right now, because one of the things that we deal with too, is we can make a car that can get 300 miles per gallon, and that would not be a problem. But you have to make it affordable too, and that is what the real difficult part is too.”

Jadwin agreed and said it is the parts of the car that are expensive.

“The technology is here, it is just a matter of making it affordable and accessible to everyone,” Jadwin said.

Students at CAR said meeting the president was memorable.

“It was an honor,” Jadwin said. “It was a really great honor to meet him and from the competition stand point, it was an honor to represent all the ECOCAR teams.”

studentvoice Is Tiger out of the woods after win?

MULTIMEDIA editor

MATT EDWARDS edwards.907@osu.edu

Crouching on the 18th green, in his trademark red Nike polo, as Graeme McDowell sized up what would be his final putt of the day, Tiger Woods finally let it happen: he cracked a smile.

As NBC’s high definition cameras caught Woods’ pearly whites sparkle, fans and players of golf alike joined him. A 5-stroke victory for Woods at Bay Hill was an immeasurable victory for the game of golf.

It’s Woods’ first official victory on the PGA Tour in more than two years.

As if Woods’ issues off the course weren’t enough trouble, his struggles

on the course had fans and critics claiming Woods was done — he’d lost his once-incredible ability to play the most mentally challenging competitive sport on earth. On Sunday, at least for the now, he’s quieted the doubters.

Of course, there were some people not smiling on Sunday — and if they were, they shouldn’t have been. Mainly, everyone on the PGA Tour not named Tiger Woods should have been displaying whatever emotion it is he displays when struck with fear and terror.

“I’m looking forward to the momentum that I’ve built here,” Woods told NBC Sports after his final round on Sunday. “It’s all coming together at the right time.”

By “the right time,” Woods was referring to a little event played in Augusta, Ga., at the beginning of April called The Masters. With golf’s most prestigious event looming, Woods’ return to victory should make him a heavy favorite to win his fifth green jacket.

There will be those who mock fans of the game who say Woods is back, and that’s fine. But this is no fluke. This is the greatest player of the last 20 years getting his groove back. Those

who pay attention to the game of golf have seen a guy over the past few events that they used to watch every weekend, knowing he would be in contention Sunday afternoon. Genuine fans of golf have watched him break the walls down through late winter, round by round and stroke by stroke, to get back to being the most competitive and exciting single athlete on earth.

The smile that we saw on 18 Sunday evening was more than just a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It was a sign that he’s back. It’s a smile that you’ll see repeatedly on ESPN leading up to The Masters and a smile that golf enthusiasts will remember forever, regardless of where Woods goes from here.

Only time will tell if Woods is truly back to be the most dominant player on the planet. What is for certain is that Woods will continue to play golf. We’ll continue to watch Woods and whether it is a smile on 18 or a barrage of fourletter words at the turn, the emotions will continue to pour. And those incredible highs and discouraging lows are why we love the game.

New York Kardashian store far from ‘Dash’ing

Khloe Kardashian, co-owner of fashion store Dash and wife of Los Angeles Laker star Lamar Odom, sits courtside as Odom plays a recent game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif.

Reaching out to less fortunate can help them, change you Hanna h Trate Lantern reporter trate.1@osu.edu Sometimes it’s hard to remember that homeless man begging you for spare change is a person. How many times have you walked down High Street and avoided making eye contact with everyone who passes by?

How often do you walk faster when you pass a homeless person? Where did we learn that the appropriate response to suffering is apathy?

I’m just as guilty as everyone else. I recognize that, as students, we’re not exactly financially stable. It’s hard to give what little money we do have to others.

But, I’m not advocating that we give the homeless money.

I’ve made it a habit to bring food or take someone out to dinner once a month. If someone asks me for money for food, I offer him a meal. If he accepts, I let him choose the place and treat him to dinner.

Over the past few months, I’ve learned that sometimes what the homeless are really looking for is someone who will listen. I’ve learned that these people aren’t that different from you or I. They have families and friends. Their lives have highs and lows. They have dreams.

Most of all, they want someone to talk to.

I’ve found that often what separates me from the homeless is a broken dream.

Many had steady jobs. Many had college educations. Every time I sit down with someone, I realize that I could be looking at

my future. If were on the streets, I would want to be heard. I wouldn’t want my humanity stripped from me based on my socioeconomic status.

Unfortunately, that’s what has happened to the homeless.

Our generation wants to change the world and we have dreams reaching out to every corner of the globe. This university talks about “paying it forward”. If you’re going to start somewhere, I suggest the streets of Columbus. I promise that it’s worth sacrificing your Friday night pizza. There’s so much to learn out there - not only about others, but also about yourself.

in order to enter the store. I made a bee-line to the first rack of clothes to find exactly what I was expecting — beautiful items of clothing; some funky, some worthy of my pocketbook and some unwearable on the streets of Columbus. But nonetheless, all were distinct reflections of what I perceive of the Kardashian sisters’ style.

Unfortunately, every other aspect of the store overshadowed the expensive materials that lined the small store space.

There was absolutely no rhyme or reason to the organization of clothing.

They hung in a cluttered fashion on thin wire hangers. The right side of the store featured Dash apparel, Kardashian perfume, cologne, books, etc. All were sort of thrown on the shelves in a messy fashion.

An older gentleman in a suit appeared to act as security, but did little more than lean against the counter and converse with the three employees who migrated in the center of the store. In the approximately 20 minutes I spent in the store, all talked amongst

I’ve never been one to be celebrityobsessed, but there is a special place in my heart for the Kardashians. Say what you want about their fame, but I admire the work that indubitably goes into the countless television shows, perfumes, clothing labels and more.

More so, I find them incredibly entertaining and interesting. From Khloe and Lamar’s endearing relationship, to Kourtney’s ineffably adorable son, to Kim’s disaster of a love life, it’s all engrossing. But what really gets me is the family’s dynamic; reality TV stars or not, you can’t fake the closeness of the Kardashian family. That being said, I was really looking forward to visiting the Dash clothing store during my Spring Break trip to New York City. Sadly, my experience was heartbreakingly disappointing.

The outside of the store was much cleaner and more elegant than those of its neighbors. However, upon opening the heavy door I was greeted by a young man in baggy clothes vacuuming the foyer. He paid no attention to the fact that I was trying to get by him

CHELSEA CASTLE castle.121@osu.edu themselves as if there weren’t a dozen shoppers roaming about. When I asked to try something on, a female employee waved her hand to the back room as if I were an idiot for asking such a thing.

Needless to say, I didn’t buy anything.

While my affection for the Kardashians is far from squashed, my poor experience has certainly tainted my feelings. For a multi-million dollar empire, their Soho store was far from dashing.

With Spring comes fake tans, pesky bugs, minimal clothing Rebecc a Ma rrie Lantern reporter marrie.6@osu.edu Clearly, it’s springtime. Pesky ants have begun to invade every nook and cranny of my house. The first dandelions of the season are starting to bud.

The incessant chirping of birds awakens you much too early in the morning, while the obnoxious crickets impede upon your already severely minimized sleep time throughout the night. The fresh air and warm temperatures tend to have a rather interesting effect on the entire human population. It’s as if the rush of wind from open car windows blows through the ears of drivers and clears their head of even the most basic driving

knowledge. People seem to think that because their radios are blasting music loud enough to hear from a mile down the road, they can be absorbed in their own little world and not pay an ounce of attention to any of their surroundings. I can’t tell you the amount of times this weekend that sunglasses-clad drivers have come mere millimeters away from ramming into me as they test their brakes going from 85 mph to a dead halt in .5 seconds.

Spring Break is over, and although some of the student population didn’t actually leave Ohio, the vast majority of our classmates are sporting a golden glow. Layers of clothing are being shed before the accumulated winter fat has yet to be worked off, causing a quite interesting, yet mildly disturbing scene

around campus. Consequently, the RPAC will be packed with these same girls thinking that using an elliptical machine for 20 minutes at the rate of tortoise will give them the beach body that they so desperately crave.

Then, they’ll leave straight from the gym to grab Chipotle before class.

My personal favorite part of springtime is that this is the time of the year when exes seem to come out of the woodwork to contact you to “catch up.”

These are guys you haven’t texted, called or played Words With Friends with you in months.

Really guys? C’mon. Even most animals know never to pick the same mate twice.

Oh springtime, it really does bring out the best in people.

Education reform most important cause today Letter to the editor As a college senior, I understand the value of a great education. I have spent my last four years attending classes, studying for exams and writing papers because I know a college degree will help me achieve success in my career and life. College is hard work, but when I survey the state of American K-12 education, I realize just how lucky I am. Each year, millions of students are denied their shot at college and career success by an education system that often serves adults’ interests before kids.

All kids deserve a great education and there are many ways that college students can get involved in education reform. For the past two years, I have interned at KIPP Journey Academy, a public charter middle school here in Columbus serving students from disadvantaged neighborhoods across the city. In only four years, the school is achieving incredible student growth and

5A

is sending its graduates to some of the most prestigious high schools in Central Ohio. KIPP Journey Academy proves what we know to be true: all students, regardless of their circumstances, can learn and succeed.

Eager to develop policies that allow every school to produce results like KIPP, I interned last summer with StudentsFirst, an organization advocating reforms at the state and national level. As a member of the Fiscal Strategy Team, I researched ways for schools and districts to invest their limited funds in practices with the greatest impact on student achievement. During my internship, I realized StudentsFirst accomplished its goals due to the passion and resolve of its members across the country, everyday citizens anxious to make an impact on public education.

Now, I am working as a leader of the Ohio State chapter of Students for Education Reform to galvanize fellow students to support education reform.

By organizing movie screenings, speakers and discussions, SFER is helping students around the country to realize the same truth I discovered: our education system is not giving all students a shot at college and career success.

These experiences have kept me motivated to work on behalf of kids and have shown me that college students can get involved and make an impact on student outcomes. You can volunteer at a local school, attend a rally at the statehouse, or, like me, pledge to teach disadvantaged students after graduation. The education reform movement needs citizens across the country to become invested in change, and college students have the power to be a part of this movement. I assure you: no mission could be more important and no work is more meaningful.

The Ohio Union Activities Board revealed its Spring Quarter lineup during Spring Break, and while the lineup is hip-hop heavy, it features a variety of acts from circus performances to science experiments.

Grammy Award-winning rapper Common will deliver a lecture about “self-empowerment, activism and the world of hip-hop,” according to OUAB’s website. The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. April 2 in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom.

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. March 26 at the Ohio Union Information Center. Students can receive one ticket per valid BuckID. In recent months, the Chicago-native Common, who has released acclaimed albums such as “Be,” entered a public battle with fellow rapper Drake. The two artists exchanged insults over the course of several songs, escalating with Common referring to Drake as “Canada dry” in a remix of a Rick Ross song that featured Drake, titled “Stay Schemin’.”

Rappers J. Cole and Big K.R.I.T. are scheduled to perform at the BuckeyeThon Benefit Concert at 8 p.m.

April 30 in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom. The concert is part of his Campus Consciousness Tour.

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. April 2 at the Ohio Union Performance Hall. Students can receive one per BuckID for $10 and the proceeds will benefit Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

J. Cole rose to fame in 2011 when he released his first album, “Cole World: Sideline Story” in September. Cole, who is signed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, was nominated for Best New Artist at this year’s Grammy Awards but lost to Bon Iver.

Childish Gambino, led by actor Donald Glover of “Community,” is scheduled to come to Columbus as part of his Camp Tour. He is scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. May 7 at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. April 4 at the Ohio Union Information Center. Students can receive one ticket per valid BuckID. Apart from playing Troy Barnes on “Community,” Glover has also served as a writer on “The Daily Show” and “30 Rock.” In 2010, he campaigned on Twitter to audition for the role of Peter Parker in the upcoming film, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” but the role ultimately went to Andrew Garfield. He recently had to postpone some tour stops because he broke his foot while performing March 10 in Tampa, Fla.

“Childish Gambino’s following is very large and diverse,” said Kayla Wood, OUAB collaborative events chair, in an email. “The feedback we have received so far has been amazing and the students seem to be very excited for May 7th.”

Comedian Vanessa Bayer and writer John Mulaney of “Saturday Night Live” are scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. April 18 in the Ohio Union Performance Hall.

Bayer has performed as Kourtney Kardashian and Miley Cyrus on “Saturday Night Live.” Mulaney has appeared on the show’s “Weekend Update” segment and released his own stand-up album titled “The Pop Tart.”

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 8 p.m. April 18 at the Ohio Union Performance Hall. Students can receive one ticket per valid BuckID. Television host Giuliana Rancic, who is most known for reporting celebrity news on E! and her fight with breast cancer, is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m.

April 9 in the Ohio Union Performance Hall. The event is presented in conjunction with Scarlet, Gray & Pink: A Walk for Stefanie Spielman to promote breast cancer awareness.

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. March 28 at the Ohio Union Information Center. Students can receive one ticket per valid BuckID. Bill Nye, who hosted the popular ‘90s kid show “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m.

May 21 in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom. Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. May 2 at the Ohio Union Information Center.

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus are scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. May 10 at the Schottenstein Center. There will also be an Animal Open House before the show at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are scheduled to be released at 5 p.m. April 16 at the Ohio Union Information Center.

Some students had mixed reaction to the lineup.

“It sounds like it’d be interesting to a wide range of people. … Like, (there are) lesser-known names but they may become bigger so it might be like something they look back on, like, ‘Hey, I saw that guy before they were really big,’ said Kyle Davis, a third-year in criminology. “It’s a different mix.”

Gabriella Hernandez, a second-year in biological engineering, said not many of the acts appealed to her.

“I’m sure there’s people on campus who know who they are and they probably think they’re sweet, but personally no (none of them appeal to me),” Hernandez said.

Ben Kweller remembers listening to The Beatles’ “All You Need is Love” as a kid, and having the feeling that he wanted to speak to others through music.

“I don’t know what it was, but it felt like magic,” Kweller said. “I have been going off of that feeling ever since.”

Kweller is scheduled to perform with Sleeper Agent and The Dig at 8 p.m. on Monday at The Basement.

The audience at a Kweller concert can expect a high-energy show.

“I am pretty manic on stage,” Kweller said. “I’m all over the place. It’s a lot of fun, that’s for sure.”

His new album, “Go Fly a Kite,” features samples of the many styles of music Kweller plays.

“My new album ‘Go Fly a Kite’ is my favorite for sure, because I feel like it’s a great mixture of everything I do all rolled into one,” Kweller said.

Kweller has toured with bands such as Kings of Leon and Bright Eyes.

“One of my favorite shows that I have ever did was with the Violent Femmes,” Kweller said. “They are badass.”

Brittany Hill, a local musician who plays guitar for Vanity Theft, said she likes Kweller’s latest album.

“I really like ‘Go Fly a Kite,’” Hill said. “It’s listener-friendly music with clever lyrics.”

Kweller said 1960s rock ‘n’ roll such as Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles had a major influence on his musical beginnings. When Nirvana came onto the scene, it pushed him to start his first band, Radish.

“The Beatles got me into writing songs, and Nirvana got me into playing with other musicians,” Kweller said.

Kweller’s influences are noticeable.

“You can hear a lot of influences in his music like Paul McCartney, as well as a mix of alternative country and pop rock,” Hill said. “He’s unique and offers a breath of fresh air in my opinion.”

Kweller said his dad also helped him.

“When I was 7, my dad got his drums out of the attic,” Kweller said. “He set them up in the living room, taught me how to play a drum beat. He would play guitar while I would play the drums.”

Playing the drums was just the beginning of Kweller’s childhood music career.

“When I was 8, someone taught me how to play ‘Heart and Soul’ on the piano, and I just started changing the keys and

[ a+e ] Box office results show audiences hungry for ‘Hunger Games,’ sequels ARTS Columnist

The unexpected box-ofÿce slaying of “The Hunger Games,” which grossed an estimated $155 million domestically over the weekend, putting it ÿrmly underneath “The Dark Knight” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,” has unceremoniously silenced all “Twilight” fanatics.

The ÿlm also took the crown for the highest opening for a non-sequel ÿlm in history and for a non-summer release.

As a recent fan of the trilogy, I had less time to get acclimated to the books and get to know more about the older, loyal fans, and I’ve discovered they’re a lot different from so-called “Twihards” and “Potterheads.”

Many fans I’ve heard from via Twitter and Tumblr have

VANESSA SPATES spates.3@osu.edu expressed a lot of reluctance at seeing their favorite book on screen. I expected this to be somewhat detrimental to the ÿlm’s success. That wasn’t the case, however.

I assumed the ÿlm would do pretty well, but nowhere near the level of success it is enjoying.

The fact that Hollywood didn’t screw up the amazing novel is a testament to Suzanne Collins, the author of the trilogy. From the opening scene to the last glare from President Snow, the movie was done brilliantly and with so much unnerving passion.

Many die-hard fans were concerned about the PG-13 rating because the basis of the book is all about violence against underage kids. But the scenes within the arena were artistically rendered and showed just enough to make the audience cringe in their seats. The simple snap of a 15-year-old’s neck

OUAB’s rap-heavy Spring Quarter unites new and old faces in hip-hop ARTS Editor

Courtesy of NBC

‘Community’ star Donald Glover’s rap act, Childish Gambino, is scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. May 7 at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion as part of his Camp Tour.

The Ohio Union Activities Board Spring Quarter lineup has a noticeable presence from one particular genre: hip-hop.

Common, J. Cole and Childish Gambino are all scheduled to perform in OUAB-sponsored events this quarter.

Common, who is scheduled to perform at 6:30 p.m. April 2 in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Grifÿn Grand Ballroom, is arguably the most talented act of the three.

Though his last album, “The Dreamer/The Believer,” which was released in December, only received mediocre reviews at best, he was able to keep the public’s interest by engaging in a beef with Drake.

While the beef was pretty pathetic overall, despite Common calling Drake “Canada

ALEX ANTONETZ antonetz.3@osu.edu dry,” I would love to hear his take on it. Though the quarrel has been relatively quelled, I’d like to know how much of it was for publicity purposes and how much of it was legit. Common is one of my favorite rappers

and Drake is one of my least favorite.

It’s unclear whether Common will actually perform any music.

It would be a disappointment if he didn’t. Common’s 2005 album, “Be,” released under the guidance of Kanye West and his GOOD Music label, was one of the best albums of the decade. While “The Dreamer/The Believer” was a disappointment, the rest of his library is impressive enough to merit attendance.

J. Cole is an up-and-coming superstar. His debut studio album, “Cole World: The Sideline Story,” was well-reviewed and even more well-received by the populace, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Lawrence could become cinema’s most convincing heroine

Kardashian in hairy situation over fur

or the blood-soaked hands of a tearful Katniss Everdeen are enough to make an entire theater of people gasp or wipe away a few tears of their own.

The monumental triumphs of the first film will, without a doubt, pave the way for an even better and more massive sequel, “Catching Fire.” Fans of the film that haven’t read the series can expect double the violence, more tears, a world in turmoil and an extremely unexpected ending that opens up a million questions. After seeing the first numbers for “Hunger Games,” I predict the second and third (and possibly fourth) films will surpass even the almost unbeatable Harry Potter franchise.

A big reason for this is because of how relatable

Kim Kardashian received what many are now calling a “flour-bombing” by an activist at an event Thursday, apparently in connection with her tendencies to wear fur.

An animal rights activist, allegedly associated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, poured flour on Kardashian after yelling “fur hag” during a red carpet event at The London West Hollywood where Kardashian was promoting a fragrance called True Reflection.

Initially after the incident, Kardashian let Los Angeles Police release the suspected bomber, but there are reports she might have changed her mind and pressed charges.

Kardashian handled what happened in stride. Although I wasn’t there, watching the videos gives me the sense that she had very little of a reaction, which is surprising for her. She walked away, body guard in tow. She reappeared in the same clothes, dusted off, and refreshed and even joked to the audience about how she

OLLER Reporter

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian was ‘flour-bombed’ March 22 because she wears fur clothing.

SARAH STEMEN stemen.66@osu.edu had told her makeup artist she needed more powder on her face.

Even more ironic, Kim’s younger sister, Khloe, appeared in the nude at a PETA campaign in 2008 for its “Anything But Fur” campaign.

So many are wondering: Did the 31-year-old celebrity deserve something like a flour bomb to open her eyes to her frequent fur-wearing ways?

Finally somebody humiliates a Hollywood figure that most love to hate, right?

The first thing that I thought

when I heard the news was, “It’s been a long time coming.” Don’t get me wrong, I am an avid Kardashian fan, but for as much as I watch the sisters, I know how much Kim Kardashian, in particular, does wear fur.

I know that the reality-television star has been the object of PETA’s criticisms before, with the organization asking her to stop wearing her fur and calling her selfish. I do understand that fur is a staple in fashion and happens to be a part of Kim Kardashian’s stardom, but I think she has to realize she is a very public figure and role model for many, so she does set a huge example. When she wears fur, she is sending a message to many.

Not that I am condoning someone throwing flour on anyone unexpectedly, but I do think the activist got her message across in a big way, which is what activists are supposed to do.

One thing is for certain: I guarantee Kim Kardashian thinks twice before wearing that chinchilla fur shrug next time.

Childish Gambino not exactly proven as mainstream juggernaut He is scheduled to perform with Big K.R.I.T. at 8 p.m. April 30 in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom as part of his Campus Consciousness Tour.

J. Cole is one of the truly talented mainstream rappers. It showed during this year’s Grammy Awards, where he was nominated for Best New Artist, but lost to Bon Iver. There’s something to be said for popular artists who also create genuinely good music, and J. Cole is one of those artists.

Apparently Jay-Z agrees, as he signed J. Cole to his label, Roc Nation.

Childish Gambino is an interesting choice, for lack of a better word. Led by “Community” star Donald Glover, Childish Gambino is Glover’s rap

“He even has the Ohio flag tattooed on his forearm,” Kweller said.

Stepro lived in Columbus for a while as well.

Kweller performed at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, March 16.

“I was in need of melody, passion, good humor and a general reboot of my rattled disposition,” austin360.com’s John T. Davis said of Kweller’s performance. “All of which Ben Kweller, bless his heart, provided with a 40-minute set at the SXSW Day Stage.”

Tickets are $20 the day of the show and can be purchased at The Basement or through Ticketmaster.

the “Hunger Games” trilogy is to all age groups.

“Twilight” is too teen-centric and vapid. The “Harry Potter” series is a bit too long and complicated to start out of nowhere. The Millennium trilogy is strictly for adults and a little hard to read because of its plot location. “Hunger Games” has all the elements of these aforementioned series: a tragic love triangle, a large-scale war, violence against minors and a strong female lead.

Jennifer Lawrence is the new film franchise’s money-maker, and as long as she’s convincing, the series will continue to flourish on-screen. She’s much more convincing as a heroine than others such as “Twilight’s” Bella Swan. Other franchises need to be wary of this juggernaut — it’s coming for your fans.

Bringing Childish Gambino to campus might be a bit of a gamble, just because he’s not exactly proven as a mainstream juggernaut, but Glover does have the power of name-recognition with die-hard “Community” fans.

OUAB’s Spring Quarter lineup is a bit more impressive than those of year’s past — hosting Lupe Fiasco last year was one of the group’s biggest triumphs in my years here. I can see some students finding it somewhat alienating as it’s a bit hip-hopheavy, but then again, hip-hop is a genre with a lot of young fans, even if Common might be a tad older than many of today’s biggest rap names.

Smith helps see OSU through to Final Four Michael periatt Asst. sports editor periatt.1@osu.edu BOSTON — The famous Syracuse 2-3 zone is a tough enough challenge when fully healthy.

But imagine facing it with one eye.

That’s basically what Lenzelle Smith Jr. did Saturday.

The Ohio State sophomore guard came back from having his eye patched together with four stitches to score 18 points as the Buckeyes beat Syracuse, 77-70, Saturday and earned a trip to the Final Four.

With 17:28 remaining in the first half, Smith Jr. was cut above his right eye. Even though he said he immediately wanted go back in the game, the blood flowing from what OSU team doctor Grant Jones called a “laceration” forced him to go back to the locker room and get stitches.

But for Smith Jr., the stitches weren’t the difficult part. When he reentered the contest with 13:06 remaining in the half, he could barely see.

“I couldn’t see,” he said. “The court lights, something was messing with my contacts or something. It was causing a lot of pain when I tried to force it.”

When Smith Jr. looked to his right, he said he felt a sharp pain. It was so bad that he had to adjust his play on both ends of the floor.

“I’m normally on the right side (on offense),” Smith Jr. said. “I had to stay on the left side because looking right was a blur for me. We switched it up and it was able to work.”

Defense wasn’t any better.

He told his teammates he was going to force the guy he was guarding to go left because “if they went right I was going to lose them.”

It was a struggle at first.

To start the second half, he lost his man on defense and gave up a 3-pointer. Then on offense he threw a pass that Syracuse almost intercepted.

“I was literally saying he doesn’t have it at the moment, let’s get him out,” OSU coach Thad Matta said.

But Matta stuck with Smith Jr. and eventually it paid off.

OSU’s lead swelled to as many as 10 points in the second half, but whenever it looked like

Stitches from 1B

Smith made

a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 6 Syracuse was threatening to take control of the game, it was Smith Jr. who made a big shot for his team.

When the lead was cut to three points with less than 12 minutes remaining, Smith Jr. made a 3-pointer to extend the lead to six.

When the lead was down to one with less than eight minutes to go, he hit another three.

He swished a high-arching floater in traffic and made all four of his free throws down the stretch to help clinch OSU’s first trip to the Final Four since 2007.

In all, Smith Jr. made three 3-pointers and scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half.

And he did it with one eye.

“The strong survive,” Smith Jr. said. “I told our team from the (get-go), we had to be the toughest team. We were the youngest so we had to definitely be the toughest. We had to come out here and fight for each other.”

Smith Jr.’s performance didn’t just help his team win the game, though. It also helped him win a contest with his teammate and fellow sophomore guard Aaron Craft.

The two players have had a contest to determine who was the toughest on the team. Apparently Craft was ahead before the Syracuse game because of a black eye he suffered a couple weeks ago.

The stitches were a game changer.

“I kind of went to him and was like, ‘Hey look at this,’” Smith Jr. said. “I’m winning right now. I doubt he can top this because the pain it took to do this, I doubt he wants to do this.”

Craft admitted defeat ­— gladly.

“He definitely beat me on the toughness meter for that one, but I’ll take it,” Craft said. “He did a great job. I’m really proud of him sticking in there and knocking down good shots.”

Sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas said he was impressed with how Smith Jr. handled the adversity, even comparing his performance with the famous Michael Jordan flu game.

“Jordan had the flu, some people play with a bad wrist, and this is what big players do,” Thomas said.

It was the second game in a row Smith Jr. had a big scoring night for the Buckeyes.

He had 15 points in OSU’s win against Cincinnati in the Sweet 16. He averages just 6.1 points per game.

Smith Jr. said he’ll probably have to continue his high-scoring ways in New Orleans where the Buckeyes will play Kansas Saturday. Tip is set for about 9 p.m.

He said he was still in a lot of pain after the game, but has no doubts he’ll play.

Matta doesn’t either, and said he expects his strong play to continue.

“Lenzelle has learned the value of commitment, the value of hard work,” Matta said. “I couldn’t be happier with how he played.”

The 2012 NCAA Tournament is rid of Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim, and America is better for it, especially considering the four remaining coaches in the Final Four.

Boeheim guided Syracuse (34-3) to a regular season Big East Conference title, a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament’s East Region and an appearance in the Elite Eight. Boeheim’s Orange was dispatched by the Ohio State men’s basketball team, 77-70, Saturday at TD Garden in Boston.

The concluded season might

have been the most tumultuous of Boeheim’s career, and to understand the surly Syracuse head-man is to understand the hardships that have befallen him this year.

Problems for the coach first surfaced early in the 2011-12 season when former Syracuse assistant coach Bernie Fine was dismissed from the program after allegations of sexual molestation surfaced.

Then, Yahoo! Sports also reported a breakdown in the Syracuse basketball program’s drug testing policy — the report said 10 players have tested positive for banned substances but were still permitted to participate in practices and games.

Difficulties continued right up until tournament time as Orange starting freshman center Fab Melo was ruled academically ineligible just before the NCAA Tournament began.

The fact that his Syracuse program has produced these scandalous events is enough of a cause for concern. Boeheim has also brought some of it on himself.

Through all of the hardships,

Boeheim acted a miserly and embittered man. He is cold toward members of the media regardless of the nature of an inquiry, be they regarding personnel matchups or the state of his program.

Boeheim is also on record saying he does not have fun in his job and continues as a coach for monetary gain, according to multiple reports.

Even in competition, Boeheim is indignant — his Orange was nearly upset by NCAA Tournament East Region No. 16-seeded UNC Asheville on March 15 at CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh in their tournament opener.

For UNC Asheville, a comparatively weaker opponent that still managed to take the Orange to the brink, Boeheim offered only a cold reminder of his team’s supposed superiority.

“I don’t think luck had anything to do with this game today,” Boeheim said of the win against UNC Ashville, “and I think the better team won.”

The Holocaust, in which over six million Jews were brutally murdered by the Nazis and their enthusiastic collaborators, happened over 60 years ago. So terrific were the events that – even today, about two generations later – nobody would wish to identify himself with them. Yet, a new anti-Semitism is now rearing its head. It is important to be aware of it.

Nobody should be fooled. AntiSemitism is anti-Semitism in whichever way it may be disguised.

sports Buckeyes on a mission in New Orleans

MiChAEL pERiATT periatt.1@osu.edu

BOSTON — You would have thought Buckeye Nation was already on Bourbon Street after Ohio State’s 77-70 victory against Syracuse in the Elite Eight.

Players and coaches were hugging, new Final Four T-shirts and hats were draped all over the players, coach Thad Matta’s daughters were dancing with the cheerleaders and there was more smiling than a 6-year-old’s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese’s.

It was like a scene from a movie right before everything goes black and “They lived happily ever after,” flashes across the screen.

Now flashback to Feb. 26.

OSU just lost to Wisconsin, 63-60, at home and the team was in disarray.

In a 15-day period, OSU lost three out of five games, matching their total from the past three months.

Every team goes through ups and downs, but OSU was in free fall and it didn’t really make any sense.

This was the team that beat Duke by 22, the team that had complete control of Florida.

Even things previously considered a given turned into questions.

Preseason All-American Jared Sullinger showed signs of struggling for the first time in his career.

His shooting percentage was 10 percentage points lower than his season average and he was scoring less than three points below his average during the span.

Matta called the squad the worst practice team he had ever coached and even came uncharacteristically close to calling out some of his players.

“They weren’t ready to practice, and this team has shown we play like we practice,” he said.

Then he made it clear it wasn’t the freshmen or the young guys that had the problem. It was the

guys with experience he had a problem with.

“My freshmen always come ready to practice,” Matta said. “They do a great job.”

After the Syracuse game, sophomore guard Aaron Craft admitted his team was in a dark place during February.

“I think we had to do some soul searching as a basketball team,” he said. “We definitely went through a rough patch when we lost three of five.”

So the questions began and theories were rampant.

The Buckeyes lacked leadership. Sullinger’s weight loss was actually hurting him. Matta can recruit, but when it comes to coaching, he can’t get the job done.

We heard it all and probably said a lot of it too.

I know I did.

Matta said he told the team around that time they were destined to be eliminated in the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament if things didn’t change.

OSU beat Duke Nov. 29.

If you asked people then whether the Buckeyes would make the Final Four, the number of people who truly believed that would become a reality could have filled Ohio Stadium 20 times over.

If you asked people the same question Feb. 26, you probably couldn’t fill up the Schottenstein Center.

But the players in that locker room still believed and said all the critics only fueled their fire.

“I appreciated everyone that doubted this basketball team, said we was underdogs, we wasn’t good enough, not physically strong enough, mentally immature,” Sullinger said. “We heard the negative comments. I want to thank y’all because through all the adversity, we constantly pushed through that.”

Maybe it was the critics. Maybe it was Sullinger and sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas learning how to coexist.

I know sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. talked about a great team meeting the night before the opening day of the NCAA Tournament.

Maybe it was the meeting.

Maybe it was a combination of a lot of things.

Whatever it was, something turned this team around that wasn’t there Feb. 26.

OSU will play Kansas Saturday in New Orleans at about 9 p.m. The Buckeyes lost to Kansas in December, but Sullinger was hurt then. Saturday he was named the NCAA Tournament East Region’s Most Outstanding player for averaging 18 points and 8.3 rebounds over the course of four games. Don’t bet against Sullinger or his team in New Orleans.

They’re on a mission. “(We’re) not going down to New Orleans for a vacation,” Sullinger said. “It’s a business trip.”
