Rappers Lupe Fiasco and B.o.B and country artist Kellie Pickler are scheduled to perform at this year’s OUAB-sponsored “Big Three Concert,” multiple sources told The Lantern Tuesday night. Sources reported that there would be three concerts between May 19 and May 21. The sources said Fiasco would be performing on Thursday, Pickler on Friday and B.o.B. on Saturday. All of the concerts will be at the Newport Music Hall. Katie Krajny, adviser to OUAB, said she could not comment on all of the performers, but did conÿrm that B.o.B. will be playing the Buckeyethon Beneÿt Concert on May 21, a date conÿrmed by the rapper’s website. The rapper will also be performing on May 20 in Athens, Ohio, according to Ohio University’s student

newspaper, The Post. Krajny also conÿrmed that the event would work under the title “Big Three Weekend.” Chelsey Northern, Fiasco’s representative from Atlantic Records, said the rapper was “not locked in” for anything on May 19, but didn’t deny that shows on that date were possible. His current tour will end on May 11 in Lewiston, Maine, according to his website. Pickler’s representatives at Sony Music Nashville could not be reached for comment, and the performer’s website does not have a listing for May 20. Fiasco, a Chicago rapper, came to fame with his 2006 album “Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor,” which featured the single “Kick, Push.” The album would earn him three Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Album. In 2007 he released the album “Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool,” which featured the song “Superstar,” a single that would peak at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. He released his newest album, “Lasers,” on March 8. Bobby Ray “B.o.B.” Simmons, friend and

labelmate of rapper T.I., released his debut album in 2010. Among its tracks were two Grammynominated songs, Best Rap Song nominee “Nothin’ On You” featuring Bruno Mars, and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals nominee “Airplanes, Part II,” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore and Eminem. Pickler was a contestant on the ÿfth season of “American Idol,” ultimately placing sixth. She signed to BMA records in 2006, and released the albums “Small Town Girl” in 2006 and a self-titled record in 2008. Her second album featured “Best Days of Your Life,” a song featuring fellow country musician Taylor Swift, with whom Pickler is currently on tour. Sources told The Lantern that OUAB will make an ofÿcial announcement on April 5. Last year’s “Big Free Concert” featured bands 3Oh!3 and Cobra Starship. Thomas Bradley contributed to this story.

‘Kill the Irishman,’ an OSU grad’s mafia film starring Christopher Walken, took hits of its own before filming.

In its ÿrst year, the Ohio Union has hosted about 17,500 events in the building. Of those events, 75 percent have been speciÿcally for student organizations, said Eve Esch, assistant director at the Union. The $118 million building has hosted events for almost 600 student organizations, and many of those organizations gathered Tuesday to celebrate its one-year anniversary. “The one-year anniversary ofÿcially happened at noon. We had a countdown and replica cake,” Esch said. “Every hour we have been singing ‘Happy birthday.’ We’ve just had all sorts of activities.” Kurtis Foriska, associate director of marketing at the Union, said the Union averages 61 events per day. “I would say that we are maximizing pretty well,” Foriska said. “We would love to engage every student organization at the Union.” The event was focused around one giant hug of the building, which began at 4 p.m. A giant cake, designed to look like the Union, was given to students and OSU community members throughout the day.

HARRY LOCKE Lantern reporter locke.59@osu.edu Fanfare, festivities, and a community embrace were some of the highlights that composed the Ohio Union’s one-year anniversary on Tuesday. “This is what I love about this university, these unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you really can’t get at another institution,” said Stefanie Lungre, a 2010 graduate of the university, who was one of almost 1,000 students, faculty, and alum gathered to physically hug the Union building. “It’s a great feeling to be a part of an occasion like this.” Union huggers gathered in the Performance Hall of the building prior to the event to receive a crash course from Brutus Buckeye and Union staff worker Matt Couch on how to “properly” embrace a building.

A spring break vacation in Miami turned to tragedy on March 23 when Ohio State student Anthony Erick was found dead. The 21-year-old was found at 9:06 a.m. on the ground outside of The Flamingo, a condominium complex on Biscayne Bay, according to the Miami Beach police department. Erick, a fourth-year in chemical engineering, was expected to graduate in December.

“It is always a tragedy when a student dies, and the university’s sympathy goes to his family and friends,” said Ruth Gerstner, director of communication for OSU’s Ofÿce of Student Life. Erick was also a member of Theta Tau, the professional engineering fraternity. Gerstner said the university has extended counseling and help to members of his fraternity and other classmates. Karen Keller, a fourth-year in biology and friend of Erick’s, described him as “very kind and generous.”

“He could brighten up a room right when he walked in,” Keller said. Adam Yu, a third-year in international studies and Erick’s roommate, said Erick was “outgoing” and “went out of his way to be unique.” “He’s a great friend,” Yu said. “It’s sad to lose him.” Friends and loved ones of Erick have ÿlled up his Facebook wall with farewells and favorite memories. In an interview with Fox 8 in Cleveland, Erick’s mother, Christina Fortier, said Erick always lived life and wasn’t afraid of anything. “It was his dream to go to Ohio State,” Fortier said.

Erick graduated in 2007 from Wellington High School, where he was a member of their varsity baseball team. Wellington athletic director and assistant principal, Jeff Jump, remembers Erick as “happy go-lucky”. “He was a real good kid for us, a real respectful individual,” Jump said. “We are all very saddened with the happenings of Anthony.” According to Fox 8 in Cleveland, the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s ofÿce has not yet ruled on a cause of death, pending the outcome of the

“Platonic hugs only. Hug the building like you would a very good friend,” said Couch, who proceeded to demonstrate on an eager Brutus. “Brutus is a really strong hugger.” The light-hearted precursor revealed to participants that their collective embrace would not go un-documented. Cameras were anchored in cranes and on the rooftops of nearby establishments along High Street to capture the loosely choreographed event from a variety of angles. The footage will be compiled into a montage video that will be uploaded onto Youtube by the end of this week. The video will aim to promote both the Union and student organizations that utilize its facilities. Event coordinators hope to make the video go viral and elicit support from the community and other individuals to come visit and contribute to the Union’s facilities. Festivities began with a countdown at 11:30 a.m. that transformed the Union’s lobby into an open dance ° oor by noon. A cappella and ukulele performances, free pastries and paper crowns to make everyone feel at home in the center of the OSU “kingdom,” awaited those who entered the 318,000 square foot facility. “It makes a big place feel a little smaller, and a little homier,” said Rebecca Delo, an ofÿce associate at the Union, who was on-hand to help administrate

the festivities. “It’s great to work with the students all day, and see all the great and different ways they work with the building.” An unveiling and dedicating of a stained-glass window featuring the faces of OSU students, faculty and staff on the second ° oor of the building followed the countdown.

The latest art edition to the Union’s collection, was a collaborative work between students, faculty and the Ofÿce of Student Life. “This piece was meant to inspire students, and was inspired by our students,” said OSU President E. Gordon Gee, moments before leading the charge in removing the cloth tarp that masked the piece.

“It’s an opportunity for good work, and good ideas, and good concepts to come together.” The day’s activities concluded with a special dinner for students, The Ohio Union Anniversary Dinner, which started at 5:30 p.m. and lasted for two hours.

Construction means Mason lab will close, see changes BRITTANY SCHOCK Lantern reporter schock.13@osu.edu The computer lab 010 in Mason Hall closed Tuesday because of a renovation issue. The lab will be closed until mid-week the week of April 4 so electrical boxes can be installed in the ÿrst ° oor above the lab for a new study room, said Keith Bayliss, superintendent for the job with Thomas and Marker Construction. “Once we’re all done there will be more study tables and computers,” Bayliss said. “That’s the way it goes with construction sometimes; if you want progress you’re going to have to give up your lab for a week.” The electrical boxes for the new study room are part of a renovation project that will completely transform the ÿrst, second and fourth ° oors of Mason Hall, adding 25 study spaces and making the building

environmentally efÿcient through the use of glass doors and windows that will let in more natural light. A café is scheduled to open on the ÿrst ° oor Autumn Quarter. The project started March 15 and is expected to last 165 days, Bayliss said. David Greenberger, chair of the Department of Management and Human Resources in the Fisher College of Business and project leader for the college, said he worked with the electrical contractor to have the renovations done at the beginning of the quarter before lab use increases. “We told the contractors that we didn’t want the labs closed the ÿrst few days of class because students are printing syllabi and stuff like that,” Greenberger said. “We tried to pick the quietest time to minimize the inconvenience.” The computer lab in room 005, typically used for group work, will be used for individual work during the closure, and a row of computers will be designated for printing only, Greenberger said. Some students are worried about the availability of printers in Mason during the week of renovation.

“There is another lab, but there are so many Fisher students that it will be crowded,” said Wenwen Cai, a fourth-year in accounting and ÿnance. “I don’t think many students have a printer in their home so to print in the lab in school is their option. But it’s just for a week so maybe it will be ÿne.” Greenberger said the students’ printer usage was taken into consideration. “I suggested putting a limit on how long anybody can use the computer; make it 10 minutes so there will be much more of a ° ow,” he said. “Some students have complained, but we actually were very thoughtful because we wanted the inconvenience to occur at the beginning of the quarter. By the end of next week the lab will be open, and also there are other labs on campus students can use.” The renovation project as a whole is expected to cost $6.5-7 million, according to a March 9 publication of Fisher, Ink., a student-run news magazine.

Union from 1A

Union anniversary brings opportunity for student feedback The cost for Tuesday’s activities was not immediately available from David Wiseley, associate director of business services at the Union. President E. Gordon Gee spoke to The Lantern about his thoughts on the Union during its ÿrst year. “When I want to meet someone, I say meet by the Brutus in the Union. That has become very much, in a very short period of time, a center of university life in so many ways,” Gee said. Undergraduate Student Government president Micah Kamrass said the Union is focused on the students. “The Union has been incredibly helpful to USG and I think really to the student body in general, particularly those involved in student organizations,” Kamrass said. “Also, the resource room is a tremendously valuable asset for student organizations.” Kamrass also spoke about the importance of the Union for various student organizations. “The building is a great place to have events. We’ve had so many of our USG events ... there, and so many other events on campus have been there as well,” Kamrass said. “Nothing is perfect, and the opportunity we have now is for students to give their feedback on the Union, to improve it and make it better.” Foriska said with the addition of the Center for Student Leadership and Service rooms, something that was not in the previous union, there is more space for students to meet and study. He said students transform some of the areas they use to study to meet their needs. “During ÿnals week, our building turns into a giant study lounge, our rooms are converted into study tables which students can use for studying,” Foriska said. Some students said a year later, there is still a lot to discover in the Union. “I feel like there’s a lot of resources out there

that I haven’t really utilized in the union,” said Katie Smith, a ÿrst-year in chemistry. “I was there with a friend in a study area they have and I didn’t even know it existed, and I feel as a freshman I’m still ÿnding new things about OSU in general.” Tracy Stuck, the director of Ohio Union & student activities, said the Union yields opportunity for students. “The thing we’re most excited about is that people just use (the Union), and whether you’re involved or not, you can use it to study here, you can eat here, you can have a student organization meeting,” Stuck said. “So really, anything you want to do you can do here.” Events at the Union range from weekly meetings for various student organizations, room dedication ceremonies, celebrity appearances and a ° ash mob that went viral last year. “The intent of the ° ash mob was not for it to go viral, but it was kind of cool how it worked out that way. The intent was for it to be taped and shown to others who were not able to be at the event,” Foriska said. “And the intent of the hug today is not to go viral, but the Union has a lot of friends who are not able to be here today.” Foriska said taping the event gives the Union a chance to share the experience with alumni and other OSU community members not at the actual event. Esch said the student union fee, which is $51 dollars per quarter, goes toward paying off the actual cost of the bonds used to build the building. “None of the money from the student union fee goes toward operational costs,” Esch said. The fees accounted for $90.4 million of the building costs, said Esch. Private donations and sponsorships will cover additional costs. “It’s been amazing, I almost can’t believe it has been a year, but we’ve learned so much, both as a staff, as well as teaching the students on how to use this facility,” Esch said. “I can’t wait to see what the next year brings.” Harry Locke contributed to this story.

Local Libyan calls United States’ involvement an ‘answered prayer’ PAT BRENNAN Senior Lantern reporter brennan.164@osu.edu President Barack Obama addressed the nation Monday night to discuss the United States’ present and future plans for its military involvement in Libya, actions that a local Libyan

citizen characterized as an answered prayer. Obama said the United States’ de-escalating involvement in the United Nationssponsored mission was “a supporting role.” NATO has taken command of both naval and air operations in Libya and will assume full command on Wednesday, according to CNN.com. Obama said the cost of U.S. military operations in the con° ict would be reduced signiÿcantly in the future. Obama’s speech — and America’s involvement in supporting anti-government rebels — was the answer to Homdi Soliman’s prayers. Soliman is a Libyan citizen and Columbus native who has organized several peaceful demonstrations on Ohio State’s campus to protest against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhaÿ. Soliman said protests have continued in his native country amidst the violence. “They’re just trying to protect themselves and their families,”

Soliman said. “(America’s involvement) has produced a very positive result.” During demonstrations on the OSU campus that took place on Feb. 21 and 25, Soliman, along with other Libyan citizens based in central Ohio and other supporters, chanted and waved Libyan ° ags. Their hope was to bring awareness to the growing need for U.S. involvement in Libya. Soliman said he and fellow demonstrators view the decision to aid Libyan people “as a plus.” “That’s what we’ve been rallying for,” Soliman said. Heba BenOmran, a Libyan citizen and Columbus resident, graduated from OSU in 2002 with a degree in Human Ecology with a specialization in Early Childhood Development. BenOmran stood alongside Soliman during the demonstrations on campus. BenOmran said she believes the U.S. intervened in Libya at precisely the right moment. “At the day they intervened, they saved Benghazi,” BenOmran said. “It was huge. The people in Libya are truly grateful.” BenOmran said she is unsure how the con° ict will be affected with NATO in control of military operations, but said Libya’s only hope is for the coalition with NATO. For both Soliman and BenOmran, the struggle to rid their country from Gadhaÿ ’s violence against civilians is far from over. “In Libya, it is basically the average kid in the street

(protesting),” Soliman said. “It’s the college kid, the child, the housewife — that’s who is rising up against Gadhaÿ.” Members of both the Democratic and Republican parties have criticized President Obama’s policy on Libya, claiming the unconstitutionality of not seeking Congress’ approval to engage America’s military in the con° ict. “To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and, more profoundly, our responsibil ties to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are,” Obama said in his address Monday. BenOmran said she likes to think that the demonstrations on OSU’s campus helped bring attention to the violence toward civilians in Libya. “It is really hard to be a Libya in America while this is going on,” BenOmran said. “Everyone wants to be there to help out as much as possible. This is the most we can do.” Soliman said he simply wanted a fair ÿght for loved ones that remain in Libya. “We weren’t asking for groun troops,” Soliman said. “We just wanted to level the scale. That has happened.” Soliman and his collective of anti-Gadhaÿ protestors will demonstrate again on Friday at 200 North High St. from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.

student voice Sitting in front could improve classroom performance LANTERN Columnist

There is perhaps no better time to observe college classroom behavior than at the start of a quarter. This is when self-selected student seating can be witnessed most noticeably. Each student, while standing in the door frame of their new class, silently deliberates their quarter-long seat. More often than not, the student settles in the back. Even for courses with the maximum number of students, classrooms fill up from back to front. Students will rarely select the ANUSREE GARG front row. True, front rowers volungarg.30@osu.edu teer to be the designated emphatic laughers, especially at professors who believe that the blackboard behind them is actually a brick wall. But professors’ humorless drollery aside, the front row has unacknowledged perks. The first and foremost: it is virtually impossible

to ignore the first row. The professor is obliged to look at the first rower. The professor is forced to constantly regard the student’s presence since the eager face is in his immediate vicinity. This continual attention makes it more likely the professor will put a face to a name and interminably recognize the student. Accurate student identification is step one in securing a glowing recommendation letter, which many students, unrecognizable to their professors, fail to consider. It is easier to pay no heed to the students in back when seated in the first row, which will prompt the first rower to participate more often and fall asleep less often. Consequently, overall class performance should improve. Two physics professors at the University of Colorado at Boulder conducted a study. In their introductory physics class that was held in a lecture hall, they found seat location and student performance were inherently linked. In this study, during the first half of the semester, the professors randomly assigned seats to students and ensured that average GPA for both the rear and front sections of the lecture hall were equivalent. The results were startling. Those seated in the back of the lecture hall were “nearly six times as likely” to receive a failing grade than the students seated in the front. The fraction of F’s in the group closest to the professors was 2 percent, in contrast to the rear-most

group with a fraction of F’s at 12 percent. Similarly, student success was also heightened with front seating. Twenty-seven percent of this frontseated group received A’s, while 18 percent of the rear-seated group received A’s. Although these findings applied specifically to a lecture hall course, I believe that the correlation between student location and student performance has some truth in it for all classrooms. There are some venues where the front row should be avoided; a stand-up comedy theater, where callous comedians prey on the front row, high-speed roller coasters where first rowers have to wipe their faces of the remains of unsuspecting bugs who were pummeled along the way or a Siegfried and Roy show. But a classroom is not one of them. An empty first row is a source of chagrin for professors that will have students nervously checking their body odor for pungency. I speculate that the professor will be both relieved and thankful for the brave soul who decides to take the plunge—a good position for the student to be in. As students beleaguered with full course loads, jobs and campus organizations, it behooves us to do any small thing that may make our lives less burdensome. In the next class we set foot in, let us incline ourselves to first row.

Cricket sparks competition LANTERN Columnist

Throughout history, Hindus and Muslims have had difficulty seeing eye to eye. Obvious religious differences created conflict for the two distinct groups. While writing this, I can hear the orthodox elders comments most clearly - “Those Muslims don’t even know what they’re talking about. ... Why are you wasting your time writing about them?” Because after all, they don’t believe in our Gods so they can’t be worth it, can they? This narrow gaze was observed RUBINA KAPIL by many Hindus and Muslims kapil.5@osu.edu when a battle between India and Pakistan occurred over the land of Kashmir, and is sadly observed by some even today. I thought this had truly become a part of the past until something new brought back the tension: the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Cricket is a sport of its own; watching India’s national cricket team win matches has been unbelievable, and I’m proud to say that they play in the semifinals today against Pakistan. What I’m not proud of, however, is that this match has become a rivalry beyond sports. It has become a war between two cricket teams, two nations, two religions and two peoples. As soon as it was announced that India and Pakistan would face one another, people could be heard exclaiming that it would be a match of a lifetime. But these comments quickly shifted into - “We’re going to completely do away with those Pakistanis for what they did to us before” and “Those Indians don’t know what they have coming.” Not

only this, but Pakistani terrorists have even threatened to attack the match (occurring in India) due to the location and the opponents. I can’t help but ask - why? Why is it that as soon as a simply rivalry is brought about through sports, we are soon reminded of our many differences from the past? Why is it that instead of focusing on supporting the cricket teams and the match to occur, we are focusing on why we don’t like one another and on how much we’d like to beat the opposing team? The majority of Hindus and Muslims today are ignorant toward the other group and do not realize this. There are many stereotypes that have been created and may seem harmless, but they have had a gradual effect on the distance between these two groups. It’s unnecessary, helping neither group in the end. Rather than encouraging these through this event, we should empathize with one another. We should be using this cricket semi-finals match today as a reason to show the world - to show both our elder and younger generations - that we are one united people. We should show them that the many differences that do exist between our two groups do not define who we are. They may have been a struggle in the past and caused a rift, but we have overcome them and can join together today to, yes, support our own team and hope for its success, but also to watch a match without wishing the absolute worst for the other beyond the sports arena. As I watch this cricket match on campus alongside both Indians and Pakistanis, I expect to see both blue and green attire. I expect to hear trash-talk, see food flying and perhaps even witness a fight or two. But I know that as soon as the match is over and we leave the Union, we will all become friends once again. This match will not define our thoughts regarding one another, and I hope that this is how many are able to recover afterwards. But while we are on the subject of the match itself... BLEED BLUE!

Children play cricket at St. John’s College in Panadura, Sri Lanka, on Saturday January 1, 2005.

I don’t think of myself as an older person, usually. My life still holds a mystery for the future. Sure, I’m getting ready to graduate with a couple degrees, but who knows if I’ll actually ever use them. For all I know, my destiny could be to wait tables forever. Gee, I really hope not. My circle of friends is older than I, as well. Some of them are technically old enough to be my parents. I’m easily the baby in ANDREA CHAFFIN the group by at least a decade. chaffin.47@osu.edu It’s not awkward for me to hang out with more mature adults, although I use the term mature loosely. Honestly, I find the majority of people my age quite annoying. I mean, they listen to some girl with a dollar sign in her name. The dollar sign is not a letter. Just sayin’. I often hear my friends talking about how “things were in the old days,” and I thought I understood somewhat, too. I mean, I can remember when cell phones weren’t attached to everyone’s hips. I can easily recall the first time the concepts of Internet and e-mail were explained to me. I remember when a movie night could be ruined by the “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” VHS getting tangled inside the VCR. Today’s youth has the assumption that it was always possible to solve an argument by pulling a cell phone out of your pocket and Google-ing the answer. “It was N*Sync that sang ‘Tearin’ Up My Heart!’ Look it up!” But, for the first time last week, I felt genuinely old and outdated. While digging through an old book bag stuffed with high school photos, papers, agendas and awards, I discovered something I had not seen in a long time. Honestly, I had sort of forgotten about its existence. A roll of film. I turned it over in my palm, wondering out loud over what mysterious events it may have recorded. Was it the time my friends and I stripped the Victoria’s Secret mannequins at the mall? Or maybe it served as further evidence of our punk days in middle school. Maybe, just maybe, it was the roll of film that captured some graduation memories, or the two-person parade we created down the road by my house complete with a marching French horn. I had to know. So, we piled in my Civic and sped off to the nearest Walmart, practically jogging to the photo center in the back of the store. Upon arrival, I revealed my long lost treasured item to the attendant, making a joke about its being pre-historic. But to my shock, it was even more ancient than I had realized. They couldn’t develop it. Film could not be developed on site! It had to be shipped to the other side of the country, where one of the few processing labs remained. It would be pricey and take 2-3 weeks. My surprise quickly turned to embarrassment, then anger. How is this possible? I felt like my Grandmother after she was informed her TV would not work solely with an antenna, or when I explained that it was now socially inappropriate to use certain terms in her vocabulary. The world and its technology have changed so drastically, even in my 22 years. It won’t be long before others will be giggling at my remarks just as I do with my grandmother’s. What other common items will become outdated in the next couple decades? Books are already tinkering on demise – nearly everyone has some type of Kindle. And newspapers? Well, let’s not even discuss that. It’s a touchy subject. What about cars? Will we fly around on our own personal spaceAge aerocars? Here’s some food for thought. I read that “The Jetsons” was supposedly taking place in the utopian future of 2062. Umm, I’m possibly going to be around in 2062. I’ll be 73-yearsold. The program shows characters using push-button appliances, digital diaries and robotic contraptions. I don’t think it’s really too far off. Well, except for one thing. Jane is the “homemaker.” That’s definitely not going to still be true by then.

All-American keeps honors rolling in

Men’s Gymnastics: Big Ten Championships TBA @ Champaign, Ill.

Ohio State center Jantel Lavender earned a spot on the Associated Press ÿrst team All-America on Tuesday. Lavender is the ÿrst basketball player in Big Ten history to earn All-American status four times and the only women’s basketball player in any major conference to accomplish the feat. It was Lavender’s second time making the ÿrst team. “To be named among the nation’s best is always a tremendous honor, and it’s great to see your hard work pay off,” Lavender said in a press release from the OSU athletic department. Lavender, the only four-time Big Ten Player of the Year, averaged 22.8 points and 10.9 rebounds a game, good for ÿfth and 15th in the NCAA, respectively, during the 2010–11 season. She earned her record third Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player award this year, after scoring a tournament single-game-record

37 points against Michigan State on March 5. The Buckeyes also made it to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive year, losing to No. 1 seed Tennessee. Over the course of her career, Lavender accumulated 2,818 points, an OSU record, and 1,422 rebounds, the all-time Big Ten mark. The center scored in double ÿgures in an NCAArecord 136 games, every contest of her career. Other notable members of the ÿrst team include Connecticut forward Maya Moore, the favorite for player of the year, and Brittney Griner, a 6-foot-8 center from Baylor. OSU coach Jim Foster’s reaction to the announcement was straightforward. “It’s just a reward for a terriÿc season,” he said. “Her numbers speak for themselves.” As for how he plans to replace perhaps the best player in OSU women’s basketball history, Foster said the key was to spread the responsibility around. “We don’t ask one player to do it,” he said. “We ask all players to step up to ÿll the role.”

Women’s Soccer v. Louisville 1pm @ Columbus, Ohio

The loss suffered by the Ohio State women’s basketball team in the Sweet 16 represented more than the end of the season — it represented the last time Jantel Lavender would don scarlet and gray. The vacancy left by the four-time Big Ten Player of the Year will be coach Jim Foster’s toughest obstacle, as he will look toward Ashley Adams to improve on her solid freshman season and develop into the type of low-post threat Lavender posed. “We have to ÿnd someone else,” Foster said. “Sammy (Prahalis is) back — another opportunity for her to lead and help some of our younger players grow over the summer.” Samantha Prahalis will be a senior next season under the expectation that the team will be hers to lead. Her 14.5 points per game were second, behind only Lavender. She ÿnished Big Ten play as the conference leader in assists, with 6.9 per game, ranking third in the country. It’s likely that the majority of her assists next season will be from baskets made by Adams, who shot 61 percent from the ÿeld this year. After averaging less than six minutes of playing time over her ÿrst nine games, Adams moved into the starting lineup and contributed heavy minutes after senior Sarah Schulze suffered a serious knee injury Jan. 16. From then on, Adams averaged more than 27 minutes per game and started 16 of the team’s last 17 games. At 6-foot-4, Adams presented opposing teams with the challenge of facing two sizeable players in the post when paired with Lavender. After Schulze went down, Adams averaged 8.2 points per game. Before she moved into the starting lineup, she averaged fewer than two points a contest.

Ohio State junior guard Samantha Prahalis passes the ball during the Buckeyes’ 80-69 victory against Central Florida in the ﬁrst round of the NCAA Tournament on March 19. Guard Brittany Johnson is the other senior starter leaving. Johnson was the team’s most potent threat from beyond the 3-point line, making 42.7 percent of her attempts. Johnson was the 29th player in program history to record 1,000 points, and was second in the Big Ten, averaging 2.9 threes per game. It will be up to guards Tayler Hill and Amber Stokes to ÿll the void Johnson leaves next year. Hill, entering her junior campaign, earned Big Ten All-Defensive team honors this season, and was voted

honorable mention for the conference. She was third on the team in scoring, with 12.8 points per game, and handled the ball when teams looked to shut down Prahalis. Stokes became known as the team’s spark plug off the bench, often providing the Buckeyes with intangibles. Others who will likely see increased roles next season are centers Aleksandra Dobranic and Darryce Moore, forwards Martina Ellerbe, Brianna Sanders and Emilee Harmon, and guard Amy Scullion.

Foster has four incoming freshmen signed for next season, including guards Raven Ferguson and Kalpana Beach. Ferguson is rated as the No. 35 overall prospect and sixth among point guards by ESPN. Beach is ranked as the No. 26 incoming freshman guard. “You just sort of reload and get ready,” Foster said after the Sweet 16 loss. “You can’t dwell.”

Reds should have their eyes set on an October run SPORTS Columnist

GRANT FREKING freking.4@osu.edu

What a difference a year makes. Entering last year’s spring training, the Cincinnati Reds were again a popular “sleeper” team among various baseball experts and pundits. In past years, they were everyone’s “team on the cusp of success” or “club on the verge of breaking through.” Baseball is a unique sport because there is tremendous optimism for each of the league’s 30 organizations. It doesn’t matter if said hopefulness is really a pipe dream; that blind faith returns year after year. Maybe it’s because the start of hardball coincides with the start of spring. Hope literally, and ÿguratively, springs eternal for baseball fans.

Last season, the Reds ÿnally delivered on their considerable potential by winning the organization’s ÿrst division title in 15 years, injecting new life into a fan base disenchanted by the unÿlled promise of the Ken Griffey Jr./ Adam Dunn/Austin Kearns era. Unlike their Goodyear roommates from Cleveland, Cincinnati has legitimate postseason aspirations. The Reds can’t afford just a “good year” in 2011. They need to “take the next step,” “rise to the occasion” or “seize the moment.” Pick your cliché. The Reds need to make some noise instead of departing the postseason without a peep. And make no mistake about it, the current crop of Reds could

be a special group. Many equate the 2010 Reds to the 2007 Phillies, who, like the Reds, made the playoffs but were swept by the Colorado Rockies, similar to how the Reds were squashed in three games by Philadelphia last October. The Phillies have since won four straight National League East titles and captured a World Series championship. Like those Phillies of four years ago, Cincinnati has a roster teeming with young talent and veteran leadership. First basemen Joey Votto is the reigning National League Most Valuable Player. The average age of Cincinnati’s likely starting rotation is 27 years old. The Reds ranked second

in the NL last season in ÿelding percentage, and tied for the fewest errors in the NL, with 72, breaking the club record by 17. In 2010, Cincinnati led the NL in batting average, runs, hits, home runs, runs batted in, slugging percentage and ranked second in on-base percentage. They won more series than any other baseball team. Cincinnati also is managed by a skipper itching for a World Series championship. After the Reds win their sixth game of the season, Dusty Baker will have 1,411 career victories, good enough for second most among managers in the World Series era never to have won the Commissioner’s Trophy. “Hey, my time is coming,”

Baker told Sports Illustrated last month. “I always believe that — and more than one.” So can this current crop of Reds become the next Big Red Machine? It’s possible. No, there aren’t three Hall of Famers on the roster. But the Machine also was known for its solid, but unspectacular, pitching and impeccable defense, a characteristic that also applies to Baker’s bunch. The Reds won’t be sneaking up on anyone in 2011. Now it’s time for Cincinnati to translate what looks good on paper to another Hunt for a Red October.

Christopher Walken (left) and Ray Stevenson (right) appear in ‘Kill the Irishman.’ OSU grad Tommy Reid produced the film.

OSU grad produces mafia film MATT KRAUS Lantern reporter kraus.86@osu.edu While he was a student at Ohio State, Tommy Reid was a selfdescribed mafia buff; the kind of person who would spend his spare time watching gangster films like “The Godfather” and “Goodfellas.” When his roommate at OSU told him about the legend of Cleveland mobster Danny Greene, the tale immediately grabbed his interest. “Kill the Irishman,” a film which Reid has spent 13 years trying to produce, opens in Columbus theaters this Friday. The movie, which is directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and stars Ray Stevenson, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer.

The film tells the story of Greene’s life as a gangster and how his death eventually led to the downfall of mafia families across the country. One of the factors that made the story so attractive to Reid was its Cleveland setting, as it isn’t a city that most people associate with organized crime. “Kill the Irishman” intends to tell a chapter of Ohio’s history that Reid feels is too often ignored. “Everyone thinks the mafia comes from Chicago, Boston and New York,” Reid said. “There was a major presence of the mafia in the northern Ohio area, including Toledo, Youngstown and the Cleveland area.” Reid is an advocate of bringing more filmmaking to Ohio, but tax incentives dictated that production of “Kill the Irishman” take place in Detroit rather than Cleveland.

“When you’re not making a big studio-backed movie, you’ve got to hedge your risk as much as possible on your investment,” Reid said. The opportunity to make the movie first showed when Reid met with Rick Porrello, author of the book “To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia.” This book became the inspiration for the final film, though getting it to cinemas proved to be anything but an easy task. “So many producers in Hollywood give you the smoke and mirrors where they tell you that they’re going to make your movie,” Reid said. “Those things always fall to the wayside and never happen.” Reid hopes that the film is able to gain a substantial following in the state of Ohio, and that it’s able to remind filmgoers of a story that is in danger of being forgotten.

“It seems like it’s almost becoming an urban legend in the state of Ohio and in the Cleveland area.” Reid said. “Not a lot of people know about it. It seems like all of our parents and grandparents know about it, but you lose the 20-something demographic.” Reid said that his time as a student at OSU helped him gain an appreciation for Ohio’s rich history. “It’s the friendships that I made at Ohio State that has led me to learn about so much of the history about the state of Ohio,” Reid said. “It was very vital during those years to learn more about the areas of Ohio that I’ve never been to before and what the history is of every city.” “Kill the Irishman” will be showing at the Rave Motion Pictures Polaris 18, AMC Lennox Town Center 24 and AMC Easton Town Center 30.

Mark Frauenfelder, co-editor of the blog BoingBoing.net, will speak at the Digital Media in a SocialWorld conference this weekend.

With more than 500 million people registered on Facebook, 174 million registered on Twitter and students who can’t be found without their cell phone or laptop close at hand, it’s becoming more important to understand the digital media that is a part of so many lives today. The third annual Digital Media in a Social World Conference, presented by Ohio State’s Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing and student organizations Social Media Society and Ohio Union Television, will be held on April 1-2 in the Ohio Union and Mendenhall Laboratory. The conference will begin at 9 a.m. in the US Bank Conference Theater in the Ohio Union. People interested in attending this workshop must pre-register

online at the conference’s website. The conference will include more than 50 sessions with topics such as using technology in the classroom, online game making and digital storytelling. This year’s theme, “Make Your Own Education,” has “a lot to do with the new ideas of how people become educated, especially at Ohio State,” said Doug Dangler, associate director of the CSTW and conference organizer. Those who attend will get a “much broader idea of what digital and social media can do,” Dangler said. Doral Chenoweth III, multimedia producer for The Columbus Dispatch, will speak at the conference about his video covering Ted Williams, the man with the “golden voice.” Chenoweth said he plans to talk about the story of the video.

One-man play about Jewish, Italian parents comes to town Get updates now! We’re on Twitter.

@The Lantern Arts

KELSEY GIVENS Senior Lantern reporter givens.64@osu.edu The off-Broadway production of “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy,” will be stopping in Columbus this weekend. Three performances of the show will take place at the Lincoln Theatre, with one on Friday and two on Saturday. The one-man show was created and originally performed by Steve Solomon, said Rolanda Copley

publicst for the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts. This time, the show has been taken over by long time stand-up comedian Ron Tobin. The show is a comedic compilation of all of the “wonderful, crazy and wacky” members of Solomon’s family, Tobin said. “There are more than 30 different characters,” he said. “He keeps adding more characters to the show between his family and the people you encounter in real life.” Some of these characters include the overbearing Italian mother, the sister who smokes and sees

no wrong in it, even though she has a smoker’s voice and one lung, and the crazy grandfather. You don’t have to be Jewish or Italian to enjoy and connect with the show, Tobin said. “I’ve had people come up to me after the show and tell me ‘you’re right, you don’t have to be either to identify with (the show),’” he said. People connect with or know someone just like all of the characters, Tobin said. “It shows us that we’re all the same,” he said.

Students encouraged to attend digital media conference and network with locals in social media ﬁeld Chenoweth will also explain how his unpolished but heart-felt video went viral because it was a “shot that people can relate to.” Mark Frauenfelder, founder of the blog BoingBoing.net, is this year’s keynote speaker. His address, “DYI: Innovation,” will focus on do-it-yourself projects and online tools and services available through digital media. “I want people in the audience to learn something that might have been hidden from them before,” Frauenfelder said. The goal for his presentation, Frauenfelder said, is “to inspire people in the audience to try making the things they use every day instead of buying them.” Frauenfelder ultimately hopes that his audience members will “discover the creative person hiding inside them.” Ohio Union Television will also be presenting at the event. “Our presentation is going to be about how students on campus find an active way to get involved in digital media,” said Courtney Chow,

a third-year student and member of Ohio Union Television. Chow said it is important for people to be able to use digital media. “It’s where the world is going,” Chow said. “Being able to not only understand it, but also do it is going to be very beneficial to people.” Speakers are also encouraging students to come and learn about social media. “We are hoping to attract students to get them more involved and interested in digital media,” Dangler said. Students are encouraged to come to the conference because “it’s a great way to network and meet some of the great people in Columbus involved in digital media, and it’s a great way to learn about other things that go around at Ohio State that people don’t really know about,” Chow said. The Lantern will be represented at the conference with a session about the verification of social media sources, presented by Dan Caterinicchia, The Lantern faculty adviser, and James Oldham, a journalism student. The conference is free and open to anyone. Those interested must visit dmsw.osu.edu to register.

“Femme Fatale” Britney Spears

“Rolling papers” Wiz Khalifa

RYAN BOOK Senior Lantern reporter 2199 E.book.15@osu.edu Main St, Columbus,

“Doggumentary” Snoop Dogg

OH 43209

After weeks of teasers and clips of new songs, Britney Spears has finally released her seventh studio album, “Femme Fatale,” and it might as well be an instrumental work for executive producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin. The mixture of dubstepinfluenced beats and catchy dance breaks left almost no room for Spears’ soft, kitten-like voice. “Femme Fatale” opens with its second single, “Till the World Ends,” which previews an explosive dance theme prevalent throughout the entire album. It sounds more like the usual Spears than the first single, “Hold It Against Me,” which was criticized for its weak lyrical content by Billboard Magazine. Although most of the lyrics sound like they could’ve been co-written by Rebecca Black, they’re still catchy. This effort is, without a doubt, a dance record with no ballads or slowing down of any kind, save for “Inside Out,” a sultry, R&B-flavored song, and “Trip To Your Heart,” a breathy, fairytaleesque number. The more powerful songs include, “Criminal” and “(Drop Dead) Beautiful” featuring

unknown artist, Sabi. “Seal It With a Kiss” has an irresistible beat with overall better lyrics. However, an album is only as strong as its weakest song and they are numerous. “How I Roll” and “I Wanna Go” blend together in an electronic haze that’s hard to shake. Will.i.am’s efforts on “Big Fat Bass” sound exactly what the title of the song promised: a whole lot of bass and very little musical prowess. The deluxe version contains four more songs. Combined, these deluxe songs are better than the overall album. This latest record points to a singer who has completely given up her spark and is only doing this to please her fans. The Spears of the “Blackout” era, the one that buzzed her head and beat up cars with umbrellas, is gone and has been replaced by Jive’s new and autotuned version.

Wiz Khalifa continues the success of his song “Black and Yellow” on his new album “Rolling Papers.” The album features smooth beats under lines about alcohol, girls, parties and, of course, drugs. The songs on this album are not the party-raging type of tracks that many associate with pop-rap mixes. The songs on “Rolling Papers” are good for those who want to chill out with some friends, or alone, and maybe partake in the activities Khalifa is rapping about. “On My Level,” which features Too $hort, talks about the perfect balance of being under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Lines like “I be going hard, roll the camera / Life just like a movie, I’m the star / Wish you was in my position” are something party-loving college students should have no problem relating to. Like “On My Level” and “Black and Yellow,” the hooks for the lines of each song on the album are creative and intriguing, making people want to keep listening to hear what Khalifa is going to say next.

And, unlike many rap songs today, the beats in the tracks on this album are just as creative as the lyrics put over them. “No Sleep,” which is currently the No. 1 song on iTunes, starts slow, but goes quickly into lines about the party lifestyle. The mellow beat and easy flow of the lyrics are easy to listen to and evoke a chill, happy vibe for listeners. Although the album is good overall, the track “Fly Solo” is worth skipping over. The beat is a little too slow and the lyrics just don’t hold listeners the way they do in the other tracks on the album. “Rolling Papers” is definitely worth going out and getting. With great beats and lyrics, Khalifa’s new album has the potential to become the musthave music of the year.

The benefit to being Snoop Dogg is that after releasing 11 albums, you’ve got a lot of friends and admirers. Snoop needs them to fill all the cracks and crevices in “Doggumentary.” The record comes in at an achingly long 21 tracks. In Snoop’s defense, few artists can come up with 21 quality tracks at one time. It would have been nice if he could have made at least five, though. Included among the guests are Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa and R. Kelly. They all do good jobs in their guest roles. However, the celebrity sparkle fails to distract from the less-than quality musicianship. It’s easy to point out some of the stinkers just by scrolling through the track list. “I Don’t Need No B----” is cute for it’s misappropriation of grammar for about 10 seconds before its misogyny gets tiresome. “This Weed Iz Mine” is actually quite enjoyable however, despite its blockheaded title. “Platinum” gets a little out of control with its images of wealth. Platinum jewelry is one thing, but dating “platinum chicks” and drinking “platinum shots” is another. Drinking molten

precious metal sucks; ask Manius Aquillius. “Wet” was written specifically for Prince William’s bachelor party (per request of the Royals, no lie), and I’d have to imagine they were disappointed in what they got. The best guest spots on the album are the ones that are least expected. Parliament Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins provides nearly all of the vocals on the opening track, “Toyz N Da Hood” and also contributes to “We Rest in Cali.” Willie Nelson’s appearance on “Superman” is reminiscent of Snoop’s Johnny Cash tribute on 2008’s “Ego Trippin’.” All is not lost for Snoop on this effort. “We Rest in Cali” and “El Lay” are the kind of relaxed hip-hop tracks that Snoop excels on. If he were to drop about 10 songs from this album, he would fare better.
