Thomas Bradley Campus editor bradley.321@osu.edu It’s Super Tuesday, a day when 10 states, including Ohio, will vote for the Republican presidential nomination. While there are four candidates on the ballot, many signs indicate a two-man race.

In a CNN/ORC poll released Monday, all indications point to a virtual tie between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

GOP showdown: Race ‘too close to call’ The poll showed that 32 percent of voters would vote for Romney, 32 percent would vote for Santorum, 14 percent would vote for former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich and 11 percent would vote for Texas congressman Ron Paul.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Sunday asked who they would vote for in a two-man race between Santorum and Romney, and 44 percent of responses said they would support Romney and 43 percent said they would support Santorum.

“I’m for Romney for the election. Just a fan of what he’s been saying and doing,” said Tucker

North Campus could soon feature new residence halls

North Campus could see some significant changes, including the addition of 3,200 new beds and new program space, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.

The project would be in conjunction with a two-year live-on plan that would require freshmen and sophomores to live on campus.

The Board of Trustees approved $4 million in September to finance professional services, including a contract with an architectural firm, said Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president for student life.

Scott Conlon, director of projects for Facilities Operations and Development, said the construction plan came out of the university framework plan and President E. Gordon Gee’s support of the two-year live-on plan.

The One University Framework is a plan to make the university more connected and ensure that its academic vision drives its physical appearance.

Conlon said they are working with an architect and setting up a business model, though many of the details are yet to be determined.

The buildings the plan will affect are still unknown, but Conlon said their hope is to construct

new residence halls on the 27-acre area of land on North Campus.

Also included in the plan are changes to dining facilities and possibly recreation facilities.

The Office of Student Life has set standards for how much recreation and dining space students should have, so North Campus facilities will need to meet those standards in order to accommodate a larger number of students, Conlon said.

Gee spoke definitively about the project with The Lantern in February.

He said he hopes to have 3,200 beds added by 2016, at which time he said he would like the two-year live-on requirement to be put in place.

Conlon said he is “fairly optimistic” and that the project could be completed by 2015, but would have to be incremental over a possible three-year period.

Another looming unknown factor is the project’s budget.

The budget is a wide-range and not solely dependent on how much the construction of the buildings will cost, but also how much the university is interested in investing, Conlon explained.

OSU is renovating South Campus residence halls, and the budget for that project is $172 million.

The North Campus renovation is expected to add more beds than the South Campus project.

Conlon said they are considering alternative

While Mitt Romney, the leading contender for the Republican nomination for president, looks to lock up his nomination during the Super Tuesday Republican primary races, some members of the black community have concerns about Mormon literature that says “dark skinned people” are from “the seed of Cain.” Yet Romney, who has said he is proud of his Mormon faith, said the doctrine in question has not been followed for years and was glad to see the change.

“The quotes (from the literature) are disturbing to read,” said Humphrey Wireko, president of the Ohio Young Black Democrats. “According to (past) doctrine, it is forbidden to have interracial marriages and those that do, will be cursed … Their doctrine said the Negro race is cursed as we come from the seed of Cain.”

Romney has been adamant during this campaign season in deflecting questions about his faith, and focusing on the economy. However, in one interview with NBC’s Meet the Press in 2008, Romney said he stands by his faith.

“I am very proud of my faith and the faith of my

Many critics question Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s religion and its views on African-Americans. fathers,” Romney said. “Well, it’s true and I love my faith. And I will not … distance myself in any way from my faith.”

Still, Romney said he is happy the doctrine changed.

“My opinion is that there is no discrimination in the eyes of God and I could not have been happier to see the change,” Romney said.

While Wireko and other critics said there is a double standard in questioning the beliefs associated with Mormonism compared with assertions made about President Barack Obama’s beliefs, Mormon representatives and Romney himself say the controversial doctrine has not been followed in more than 30 years.

Wireko said Republicans falsely question Obama’s possible affiliation with Islam, and by the same rules, he said Democrats should also consider questioning Romney’s beliefs.

“The Republicans still to this day question Barack Obama’s beliefs,” Wireko said. “But if we ask Republican Party candidates about their religious beliefs they’ll go back and say, ‘Oh, now, Democrats don’t tolerate people’s personal beliefs.’”

Obama has said he is “a Christian by choice.”

Wireko said he is proud of being black and holds nothing against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints as a religion, but sees these controversial excerpts as offensive toward his race.

Matthew Bowman, a Mormon and a professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, said the doctrine is something Mormon leaders believed in the past.

campus OSU disability friendly, but has room for improvement KRISTEN MITCHELL Lantern reporter mitchell.935@osu.edu At 10 years old, a seemingly healthy boy was diagnosed with a brain tumor requiring him to have two surgeries before he had even finished middle school. At 16, he found out another tumor had grown in his brain stem. After another visit to the operating table, Paul Velasquez would never be the same.

When Velasquez tried to get out of his hospital bed, he fell, realizing he had lost significant nerve sensory on the left side of his body as a result of surgery. Velasquez developed left-sided hemiparesis, which affects communication between his brain and muscles, and suffers from painful migraines and small seizures.

But unless he told you, you would never know it. On the outside, Velasquez appears to be like any other Ohio State student. He has been taking classes on and off at OSU since 1996, and is pursuing a degree in sexuality studies. As the president of the campus organization UNITY: An Alliance of Students With and Without Disabilities, Velasquez said that it is his intention to bring students together.

“I don’t tell people I’m disabled, unless it’s apparent that I need to,” Velasquez said.

Velasquez said that attitude is common among people with non-visible disabilities.

“Some students don’t want to be associated with disability,” he said. “It’s all about passing as normal.”

L. Scott Lissner, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator at OSU, said there are about 1,660 employees and about 1,450 students registered as having disabilities on campus.

“Statistically if we look at national data, nine percent of the undergraduate population should have a disability,” Lissner said. “We have about four percent registered, so we have two to three percent that may be on campus and aren’t telling us they’re here.”

The Office for Disability Services is a resource available to disabled students on campus to help them adjust to the college environment. ODS provides accommodations for registered students, such as extended time on exams and alternative test formats, sign language, the availability of an interpreter, access to computer programs that accommodate their needs, counseling and note-taking assistance.

Thomas Bradley / Campus editor

The ADA listed OSU as an ADA-Plus college, which means OSU went beyond the requirements of the American Disabilities Act. While these resources are available at OSU, some prospective college students report they don’t really know what life will be like until they arrive on campus.

Such was the case for Tommy Tiedemann, a student with cerebral palsy who began his college search in 2003. He quickly realized there wasn’t enough information about services available for students like him and turned his pursuit for answers into his senior project.

His mother, Chris Wise Tiedemann, expanded his research and wrote “College Success for Students with Physical Disabilities,” a user guide detailing the accommodations for students like her son available at universities across the nation.

This user guide, published Feb. 1, is a resource that Lacy Compton, editor and promotions coordinator at Prufrock Press Inc., the book’s publisher, said is long overdue.

“More and more students are going to college than ever before,” Compton said. “As the population

of students who are going to college grows, many will have to adjust to fit their needs.”

Lissner said that of roughly 2,500 four-year colleges in existence nationwide, 177 were listed as going beyond the minimum regulations required by the ADA, which was enacted in 1990 and amended in 2008.

Five schools were listed as being full-service universities, the most accessible for students with physical disabilities. University of California at Berkeley, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, were all listed.

OSU was listed as an ADA-Plus college, defined as an institution that goes beyond the requirements of the Disabilities Act, providing student services that vary among colleges in this group.

Compton said colleges were evaluated based on accessible housing, accessible transportation, the availability of attendants, wheel-chair sports, extracurricular clubs or activities and other criteria.

While OSU was rated well, based on accommodations like the Campus Area Bus Services paratransit service available for students with disabilities, Velasquez said he thinks there is room for improvement.

“There should be better communication between faculty and students about things like what should be considered an excused absence,” he said, going into detail about how his migraines often leave him unable to leave his bed some days.

Velasquez said he sometimes has difficulties getting the notes he needs for his classes. After the surgery that left him with nerve damage on his left side, the naturally left-handed student is unable to copy down notes quickly in class, forcing him to rely on student volunteer note-takers, who don’t always attend class and can be delayed in forwarding their notes.

The university is working on improving accessibility for students on several aspects of campus life, including on-campus housing.

“All the South Campus residence halls will be accessible after the construction is complete,” Lissner said.

Lissner said the university has also been working on reconstructing buildings to be more accessible, and assuring that new ones are. He said lot of work has been done in that area in the past decade.

“We’ve done a huge amount of construction since I came here. The average age of a building since renovation was 63 years when I was hired 12 years ago. Now it is 25 years,” Lissner said.

Velasquez said he hopes to see the improvements continue.

“What we have is nice, but Ohio State prides itself on being great,” he said. “We could be better with disability access and awareness.”

April is Disability Awareness Month and ODS will be marking the occasion with the 12th annual Multiple Perspectives conference April 24-25. The conference, which is free to the public, will host sessions, panels and discussions on disability issues.

Matt Crowley, a 2nd-year in engineering, practices his golf swing in the hitting bays in the basement of the RPAC on Feb. 28.

OSU approves new golf facility, more than $6M center to putt-off winter 2013 Kelsie Ozamiz Lantern reporter ozamiz.4@osu.edu After three-and-a-half years of fundraising to build an indoor practice facility for Ohio State’s men’s and women’s golf teams, OSU’s Board of Trustees approved the project, allowing construction plans to tee off.

Ben Jay, senior associate athletics director for finance and operations, said it took so long to get this project under way because of the $6.1 million needed to fund it.

“We’re not quite there yet,” Jay said. “We’re at about 83 percent on the golf project now, and they’re continuing to fundraise.”

The facility will be on the OSU golf course on the corner of Kenney and Tremont roads. Plans are aiming for the facility to be completed by winter 2013, Jay said.

Outdoor hitting bays, motion-capture video equipment and short game practice areas are among the amenities planned to be in the facility.

The facility will house the entire golf program, Jay said. He said women’s coach Therese Hession’s office is currently in the pro shop of the clubhouse.

“To say that they needed more space was obvious,” Jay said. “This addresses not only the indoor practice area but they’ll have team lockers in there for both men’s and women’s teams, they’ll have coaches’ offices which also helps out the people at the clubhouse and frees up space there for the members because our membership fees are what pays for the golf course.”

Redshirt freshman Logan Jones said that because competitions started in February, the men’s golf team has practiced in the basement of the pro shop or commuted to a driving range in Hilliard.

“Sometimes it can be a burden when we don’t have a lot of time to practice,” Jones said. “I think we do need (an indoor practice facility) in terms of competing and getting recruits, but I think you can still have a good golf team. It shows we’re dedicated.”

The facility will be delivered under the designbuild construction method, as opposed to the design-bid-build method, meaning the university will hire one entity to design and build it. Jay said this way is seamless and expects to save money through this method.

Ken Wayman, senior director of design and construction for OSU’s Facilities Operations and Development (FOD), said artist renderings have been made in order to complete a study on the location and footprint of the facility, but the actual design might be different. Jay said they will be selecting an architect for the project in April.

“We will tell them what functions the facility will be able to accommodate,” Wayman said. “And they will then come up with the concept of how to lay it out and what the exterior of the building will look like, obviously trying to make it fit in with the architecture that’s already on the golf course.”

Jay said a large part of the planning was getting input from coaches and players on what they needed. Short-game-practice capabilities were one of the bigger needs.

“They can work on their short game, putting, chipping, long chips,” Jay said. “Anyone who knows the game of golf knows short game is about 80 percent of the game, so this facility will allow them to have that kind of practice area.”

Jones said lacking an indoor practice facility hasn’t hurt the team’s game, but he is looking forward to the coming facility.

“One of the greatest golfers ever, Jack Nicklaus, didn’t have one when he was here,” Jones said. “It can be done, but it will definitely a perk next year.”

With the semester switch three months away, officials announced changes to tuition payments and different options offered for upcoming quarters and semesters.

The notice, sent out Monday by co-chairs of the Semester Conversion Coordinating Committee, Randy Smith and Steven Fink, said the Tuition Option Payment Plan would still be available to students.

“To help with the transition, the university has increased the number of TOPP installment payments to four per semester for the 2012-2013 academic year and is waiving the enrollment fee for both Autumn and Spring semesters,” according to the email.

According to the Office of the University Registrar website, TOPP is a payment plan that allows families or students to split up tuition fees into two installments over the quarter for a $10 fee.

The email said students will also have the ability to use a credit card to pay tuition. These payments will be processed through SallieMae and will accept MasterCard, Discover and American Express for online payments, according to the registrar website. SallieMae also charges a non-refundable 2.75 percent fee per credit card payment.

“Both the TOPP and credit card tuition payment options may help in managing the larger, earlier billings of the semester system,” according to the email.

“These options may be especially helpful during the 2012-13 academic year, when the shorter summer of 2012 will limit students’ opportunities to earn money for the coming year.”

President E. Gordon Gee told The Lantern on Feb. 6, he is happy with the conversion’s progress and university officials have made sure the switch is on schedule.

“All the processes are in place, on time. We could do it today,” Gee said. “We could do it today, we’re about four months out and we’re not scrambling.”

Dolan Evanovich, vice president of Strategic Enrollment Planning, said the Office of

Student Financial Aid is helping students plan for two semester payments, instead of three quarterly ones.

“Student Financial Aid is concerned primarily with effective communication and helping students to adjust to managing budgets in a two-semester (rather than three-quarter) environment,” Evanovich said in the email.

Diane Stemper, director of Student Financial Aid, said the office provides assistance to students when it comes to tuition and will continue to do so.

“OSU invests a significant amount of resources to assist our students. This year our institution invested $108 million in student scholarships and grants,” Stemper said. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we provided an additional $17 million from 3,500 established scholarship accounts. More than 25,000 undergraduate students received assistance from these institutional sources.”

According to the OSU email, semester handbooks for academic advisers are also available online.

“The conversion to

semesters will result in changes to practices, procedures and policies, from course numbers and meeting patterns to the disbursement of financial aid to students,” according to the email. “The semesters handbook for academic advisors includes information about many of these changes.”

Evanovich said the Office of the University Bursar is still working together with the University Registrar and the Office of the CIO to create a plan “that fulfills accounting needs, while providing the best possible information and service to students who are eligible to receive May session credit.”

The official first day of semesters will be June 18, according to the OSU email and Summer Semester will be the first official semester.

Economy is president in 1988 as a Libertarian and in 2008 as a Republican.

Oklahoma, Ohio, North Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, Alaska and Virginia will all vote Tuesday. Santorum surged in Ohio last week, but recently Romney has caught up, with a race that is “too close to call,” according to a Quinnipiac Poll released Friday.

In the last caucus before Super Tuesday, Romney claimed victory in the Washington state caucus by more than 10 points.

Romney had 37.6 percent of the vote in Washington, while Paul had 24.8 percent and Santorum had 23.8 percent. Gingrich received 10.3 percent of the votes.

Renovation from 1A

Messenger said renovation is key to become a top 10 school energy sources and the installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system, similar to the system being installed on South Campus, though there is not as much space.

“It would be more of a challenge geographically just because there isn’t a large green space there already that will remain,” he said.

Making the area livable for students during construction is a main concern, Conlon said, especially considering the lack of green space.

“It’s a lot of forethought and planning into how we can do this so it’s comfortable for the students who are still living there at the time,” Conlon said.

Building a new dining hall first would allow students, who might get to see the finished residence halls, to take advantage of immediate benefits well before the project is complete, Conlon said.

Nick Messenger, Undergraduate Student Government president, said the project would be a part

On Monday, Romney spoke to supporters in Canton, Ohio, about the economy and the importance of the primary.

“I look at this campaign right now and I see a lot of folks all talking about lots of things,“ Romney said. “But what we need to talk about to defeat Barack Obama is getting good jobs and scaling back the size of government, and that’s what I do.”

Romney said his strength as a candidate is his experience in the economy, which he said needs to be revived.

“Other people in this race have debated about the economy, they’ve read about the economy, they’ve talked about it in subcommittee meetings, but I’ve actually been in it,” Romney said.

Santorum spent part of Monday speaking to supporters in Dayton, Ohio, and said people should look past individual wealth, taking a shot at Romney’s financial situation.

“Look into what the candidates have overcome and what they offer to this country, not just what money they have,” Santorum said. “Money’s not going to buy this election.”

Shay Trotter and Qynshela Sanders contributed to this story.

of the “much-needed facelift” that the university is undergoing.

“In order to become a top 10 public university in this country, we have to renovate academic buildings, we have to renovate residence halls, we have to improve the facilities,” Messenger said.

Newer facilities like the Ohio Union, RPAC and William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library are selling points for prospective students, Messenger said.

But for a long time, the residence halls have not matched those facilities, Messenger said.

Gee said the university has “more construction than we possibly could imagine” but constantly reminds people “you never want to be at a place unless there are … a lot of cranes.”

Even with Gee’s reminder, Messenger said he knows campus construction can be frustrating to students.

“Despite the irritation of the construction workers and the jackhammering, the cranes (going) up and down at 8 a.m. waking students up, the net benefit is huge,” Messenger said.

Conlon said the completed plan should be brought before the Board of Trustees in April. If approved, they will move forward with a budget and timeline for completion of the project.

“The answer as to how authoritative Mormons take these statements to be is ‘not very,’” Bowman said.

Bowman said just like Christians, for Mormons in the 19th century it was common for people in the Western world to believe in such excerpts.

“Many Mormons in the 19th century believed that people of African descent were the descendants of some figure cursed in the Bible,” Bowman said.

Bowman said the policy against interracial marriage lasted until 1978, more than a decade after the civil rights movement.

“Many Mormons felt this way at the time,” Bowman said. “However, (the doctrine) was revoked.”

Tuesday is Super Tuesday, a day when 10 states, including Ohio, will vote for the Republican presidential nomination. Romney will look to lock up the Republican nomination against three other candidates. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich and Texas congressman Ron Paul are still vying for the Republican nomination.

The chair and professor of African-American and African Studies at Ohio State, Horace Newsum said past Mormon religious doctrine said, “Blacks don’t have souls, because they were neutral in heaven and cursed to have dark skin.”

“If Mormons want to believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, no problem,” Newsum said. “But when they say something of black people or other races, then something is wrong.”

But Margaret Young, a Mormon and English professor at Brigham Young University, a Mormon

university, said she agreed with Bowman, and all of her Mormon friends would also agree.

“These are not scriptural ‘verses,’ but culturallyinfluenced sayings of various church leaders in different times,” Young said.

Bill McKeever, founder of Mormonism Research Ministry, a Evangelical Christian ministry challenging the claims of Mormonism, said “people need to ask themselves if Romney’s Mormonism will affect them personally, and if so, in what way.”

McKeever said it is not rare for Mormons to excuse the comments of their past leaders by classifying them as “speculation or opinion.”

“To imply that the ban on blacks holding the priesthood was mere ‘policy’ is also misleading,” McKeever said.

Jabriel Ballentine, seminarian at Virginia Theological Seminary, said everyone should question the beliefs of all the candidates.

“We might not agree with all of the beliefs of any candidate. However, we must pay attention to the implications of one enacting their beliefs,” Ballentine said.

Despite urges from Ballentine and others, the faith of other Republican candidates have not been questioned as much as Romney’s.

Chris Maloney, Ohio Republican party spokesman, said it “does not question people’s beliefs or faith … (and) does not support any racist tendency or creed.”

The Black Keys, which are comprised of Akron natives Dan Auerbach (pictured) and Patrick Carney, performed at the Schottenstein Center March 4.

“Footloose” “Immortals”

For The Black Keys, volume is not an issue.

The duo produced deafening sound in the Schottenstein Center Sunday.

The night ended with two hefty disco balls illuminating the stage and the audience in multicolored light, but it began with two lively, percussion-heavy bands.

English indie band The Arctic Monkeys warmed up the audience for The Black Keys, which consists of Akron natives Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach.

Head-bobbing and heel-stomping kept the stands shaking throughout The Black Keys’ set, with many of the songs regarding women and relationships.

“Jack and Jill”

video games

The ensemble took a moment to compose itself.

Auerbach said he and Carney made a stop in their hometown earlier in the day.

“It feels so good to be in Ohio,” Auerbach said.

The Black Keys were also accompanied by various backdrops and lighting elements that flickered over the crowd. Auerbach and Carney emphasized their skills in “Chop and Change,” during which Auerbach played lead guitar, maracas and sang. The Black Keys built up crescendos in individual songs coming from lows to highs and back down again. The same was true throughout their performance, which ended with thunderous volume and a cut to darkness.

The duo returned and closed with “Everlasting Light,” “She’s Long Gone” and “I Got Mine.”

They played more than 20 songs with and

without accompaniment from a bassist and a keyboard player. Some of the songs included “Lonely Boy,” “Next Girl,” “Ten Cent Pistol,” “Girl Is On My Mind” and “I’ll Be Your Man.” The Arctic Monkeys played up their English charm with Alex Turner singing lead vocals. Their full-bodied sound was complemented with strobing drumbeats and strobing light.

The Arctic Monkeys’ performances of “Still Take You Home” and “Brick by Brick” got the audience revved up for a stirring performance from the Keys.

Joe Wong sparks laughter with routine on Chinese-American culture shock “Mass Effect 3” “Street Fighter vs. Tekken” “MlB 12: The Show”

Caitlyn Wasmundt Lantern reporter wasmundt.1@osu.edu Bashing cultural stereotypes and making fun of all things geeky, especially himself, Joe Wong brought the laughs to Ohio State.

The comedian, who has made appearances on “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” presented his stand-up routine to more than 300 students in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom Sunday.

The event was sponsored by the Ohio Union Activities Board.

Wong wasn’t afraid to make fun of himself, his family, his culture, or his childhood.

Whether it was his friends’ names, his young son or learning the differences in American and Chinese culture, Wong laid it out for his audience.

Wong told a story of how he didn’t want to go on a trip to see bears with someone whose name sounds like “We Die,” even after his friend tried to

convince him the bears would be more scared of them. Wong’s sharp wit took over.

“I’m pretty sure they would be wrong,” Wong said about his friends.

One of Wong’s culturally blending experiences occurred when he moved to Texas, he said. While there, he decided to wear a large belt buckle and a cowboy hat and grow a mustache to try to blend in.

“I ended up looking like a Mexican,” Wong said.

Before moving to the U.S., Wong said he was unaware of the cultural stereotypes about Asians, among them that all Asians are good at math.

Meeting his host family for the first time, his host mother told him not to laugh at her math skills, prompting a question from Wong.

“How does she know I’m good at math?” he said.

Wong said he was also confused when people would ask him to calculate the tip at dinner, but after living in the U.S. for a while, he understands why.

Wong pointed out the similarities and differences between China and the U.S.

COLLIN HOWARD / Lantern reporter

Actor Jon Voight appeared at the Drexel Theater March 4 to introduce a screening of his film, ‘Beyond.’

Columbus audiences had the chance to preview the Jon Voight-led thriller, “Beyond,” with the actor.

Audience members watched the film with the Academy Award-winning actor and Angelina Jolie’s father, who was positioned next to “Beyond” producer Steven Paul at Bexley’s Drexel Theater Sunday.

Entering the theater, a sea of flashbulbs illuminated the star as he smiled and posed candidly with spectators. He mingled with the crowd for several minutes before introducing his film. At about 7 p.m., the movie began for a crowd of about 200 people.

The movie as a thriller, a “who dunnit?”-style film based around Voight’s character and his attempts to find a kidnapped girl. He teams up with a young psychic to track down the child and reprimand her kidnapper.

The credits rolled to a steady applause as the lights came on and the music died down, after which Voight and Paul began a 30-minute Q-and-A segment.

Questions ranged from specifics about the film, to the relationship between Voight and actor Dustin Hoffman in 1969’s “Midnight Cowboy.” The duo sat in director’s chairs as they answered many of the audience members’ questions.

Voight said even after all of his years in the

Comedian made fun of various cultural stereotypes in routine “The only thing America has that China doesn’t is Chinatown,” he said.

Wong also made fun of his geeky persona.

He opened the show by telling his audience how he accidentally went to a Greek festival because he didn’t see the “r” in the word “Greek.”

“I was wondering why I was the only one there with a light saber,” Wong said.

Wong’s honesty made him a hit among some audience members.

Alvaro Pasquel, a second-year in international

Voight from 4A

Actor visited psychic after working on film, ‘The Champ’ business, the feeling he gets while working on a movie never subsides.

“It’s fun, it’s a challenge, it’s risky in some sense,” Voight said. “The adrenaline always gets up. Even the people who think they are the easiest in front of the camera, they’re working very hard to achieve that and they all get that excitement in their stomach.”

Paul, sitting to Voight’s left, agreed, but for reasons of his own.

“I started in the entertainment business when I was 6 years old and I’ve done theater, and I’ve done television commercials, I’ve done films, I’ve written, I’ve produced, I’ve directed, and I must tell you: Every time I go down to the set, it is so exciting,” Paul said. “I still get so excited to see movie stars like Jon. I’m excited to sit next to him right now. I’m nervous sitting next to him. … Is he looking at me now?”

An audience member asked Voight if he believed in the supernatural now that he had played a detective who dealt with psychics in the film. He said he did and shared a personal story from around the time he made 1979’s “The Champ.”

“So I went to see this psychic, and people were paying a couple of dollars each, and the guy was making money on it, and I thought right away this guy’s got to be bogus if he’s charging money for this stuff,” Voight said. “I thought there was something wrong with him. This guy couldn’t be the real deal, right? There’s nothing spiritual about this fellow.”

business, said even though he had never heard of Wong before, the routine pleasantly surprised him.

Pasquel said he enjoyed how Wong made fun of various cultural stereotypes and the experiences Wong had as he moved from China to the U.S. “I could relate to those experiences,” Pasquel said.

William Xu, a first-year in marketing, said Wong’s show was better than he expected. Xu said he has watched Wong’s stand-up on YouTube before and he was happy that the routine Wong presented students was different than what he has seen before.

“He’s not afraid to make fun of himself, or cultural stereotypes — that makes him a great comedian,” Xu said.

The psychic told him the project he made would be big, but not here. Then, “The Champ” was released in the United States, but he said the film was marketed poorly. There was even a problem with the print that was screened and it got poor reviews. However, Voight said, the film was successful internationally.

Voight collaborated with Jay Schottenstein and raised money by offering to donate revenue from ticket sales to the synagogue Congregation Torat Emet and Friends of the Drexel, Inc. A sponsors’ banquet was held prior to the film at a synagogue.

“Mr. Voight and Mr. Schottenstein have a very long-standing relationship, they’re involved in a lot of charitable organizations together nationally and internationally,“ said Liz Kalef, executive director of Congregation Torat Emet. “It was through that relationship that they worked out this arrangement where we could do this sneak preview that would benefit local organizations.”

Voight and Paul stayed after the session to meet spectators and to sign autographs.

Keys from 4A

More than 10K attended Sunday’s show at the Schott “I think it was a really good pairing, they both have very drum-heavy music,” Aldana said. “The thing that makes them so different is the way that their frontmen sound. … (The) Arctic Monkeys seem more kind of grungy and The Black Keys sound more rock ‘n’ roll.”

The concert left Colleen Miracle, a first-year in new media communication technology, impressed and wanting more from The Black Keys.

“Honestly, I just wish they had played more,” Miracle said. “I love those two. They did such a good job. I really like (Auerbach’s) voice. The fact that they’re from Ohio is a cool thing.”

The two bands drew a mixed crowd of various

age groups. Miracle said she enjoyed the positive energy of the other audience members.

“This one guy was probably like 40-something (and) he was just dancing so crazily behind us,” Miracle said. “We just like danced with him though, I mean why not?”

Alyssa Rushman, a first-year in English and Arctic Monkeys fan, agreed that the audience members were actively involved with the performance.

“All the visual effects used, I feel like it really engages the audience really well,” Rushman said. “The audience was really cool. All their fans seemed really chill … (and) really wanted to be there.”

There were 10,644 people in attendance, said Brett Scarbrough, senior director of ticketing at OSU, in an email to The Lantern.

OSU men’s basketball bags Big Ten honors Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Sophomores ruled the day Monday for Ohio State men’s basketball as the Big Ten Conference announced its all-conference selections and awards.

Buckeyes’ sophomore forward Jared Sullinger was a first-team Big Ten selection by the coaches and media while sophomore guard Aaron Craft was named Defensive Player of the Year by the conference’s coaches.

Sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas was named a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches, and the media and coaches made senior guard William Buford a Big Ten

second-team honoree for the second consecutive year.

Sullinger, who averaged 17 points and nine rebounds per game, was a unanimous selection to the first team for a second consecutive year.

Craft’s selection as the defensive player of the year is the first for OSU since former Buckeye Greg Oden won the award in 2007. Craft is the fourth to win the award in OSU history.

Craft, who was also given a Big Ten Sportsmanship award, told the Big Ten Network that his defensive game benefitted from playing against his older brother as a child.

“I couldn’t score on those guys,” Craft said. “I could frustrate them a lot on defense. I got in a couple fights with my brother and some of his friends. So it kind of started back

then. Just growing up, (defense) is just something that I’ve enjoyed and I really like doing and understood that that is what is going to help the team the most.”

Thomas and Buford both averaged 15 points and five rebounds per game.

The Buckeyes (25-6, 13-5 Big Ten) jumped three spots in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll to the No. 7 spot. OSU defeated Michigan State, 72-70, Sunday on a last-second 2-point shot by Buford. With the win, OSU clinched a three-way tie for the conference’s regular season title with the Spartans and Michigan.

Though it conceded an outright regular season conference title with the loss to the Buckeyes, the MSU program came away with some major

Big Ten hardware Monday as possible consolation.

Spartans senior forward Draymond Green claimed the Big Ten’s Player of the Year award, as well as a unanimous first-team honor from the coaches and media. MSU coach Tom Izzo was a unanimous Coach of the Year honoree.

Other award winners include Michigan freshman guard Trey Burke who split Freshman of the Year honors with Indiana forward Cody Zeller.

OSU will begin postseason play on Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., as the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Buckeyes will play the winner of Thursday’s Purdue-Nebraska opening-round game. OSU’s postseason will tip at about 9 p.m.

‘Group effort’ helps OSU’s Stieber succeed PATRICK MAKS Lantern reporter maks.1@osu.edu Logan Stieber has won at just about every level he’s ever wrestled.

That trend continued Sunday as the Ohio State redshirt freshman captured the 2012 Big Ten Championship at 133 pounds.

Stieber, who began the tournament as the No. 1 seed in his weight class, defeated Iowa’s redshirt sophomore Tony Ramos, 5-2.

“It was awesome. It just shows the hard work I’ve put in and the hard work all my coaches have put in to help me,” Stieber said. “They’ve helped me so much, it’s been amazing.”

Although he gave up an early takedown to Ramos, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, Stieber answered with a takedown of his own and two escapes that gave him a 4-2 lead throughout much of the match before an extra point for riding time was added at the end of the contest.

Stieber said his defense was better than it had been throughout the season, “even though (Ramos) scored right away.”

“I don’t think he got too many shots after that first takedown,” he said.

There’s lots of events. I want to win more Big Ten titles, I want to win Nationals. I want to make the Olympics. My coaches and family keep me always motivated.

Logan Stieber OSU redshirt freshman wrestler And even when Ramos took the lead early, Stieber said he “really didn’t react to it because (he) got away from (the takedown) so fast.”

“It wasn’t like too big of a deal, because it was still early in the match and I had to score a takedown to win anyways,” he said. “I knew I could score when I absolutely need to.”

For Stieber, who now has won 28 matches this season, a team high, the win wasn’t just about him.

Rather, he said it was for his team, his family and his coaches.

Despite such success so early in his wrestling career, Stieber has seemingly kept a level head throughout it all.

“It’s not like I won Big Tens and I’m the best wrestler (in the room),” he said. “It’s not like I’m going untouched. It’s a group effort that’s helped.”

Stieber said he gets beat up in practice every day, although it’s not without a fight.

“I wrestle real hard in practice everyday,” he said. “I don’t like giving up takedowns in practice, I don’t like losing in practice.”

It’s that attitude in practice that Stieber said helps him compete the way he does in actual live situations against competition.

A Big Ten Championship isn’t the end of the road, though, Stieber said.

“There’s lots of events. I want to win more Big Ten titles, I want to win Nationals. I want to make the Olympics,” he said. “My coaches and family keep me always motivated.”

At least for now, Stieber will have a chance to make one of those dreams a reality March 15-17 at the NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis, Mo. Including Stieber, the Buckeyes qualified seven wrestlers for nationals, though the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee will announce remaining at-large qualifiers Wednesday.

Tiger Woods celebrates an eagle putt during the Honda Classic at PGA National Resort & Spa March 4.

I’ve been hesitant to say the Tiger Woods of old is truly back, but after a sizzling final round performance in the Honda Classic Sunday, it appears he might be as close as ever.

Woods carded a flawless 62, a new career low for a final round, highlighted by two eagles and four birdies. No bogeys.

If this is what we can expect from Woods moving forward, the landscape of golf might be shifting back to one that’s Tigerinfested.

Woods has shown glimpses in the last few months. Since winning the Chevron World

Challenge in December – his first win after being mired in scandal nearly two years prior – Woods has begun to put the pieces back together. He’s revamped his swing and seen a rise from No. 58 in the World Golf Rankings to No. 16. He’s been in contention in two of the other tournaments he’s played so far this year – the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am – before falling short on the final day in each of those tournaments.

He didn’t do that this week.

When Woods is struggling, it’s usually with the driver. He hit 11 of 14 fairways Sunday.

When Woods is dominating, it’s usually with the flat stick. He needed only 26 putts Sunday, including draining a long one for eagle on the par-5 third, after hitting 14 of 18 greens in regulation.

Woods put together one of his most impressive ballstriking rounds in the last two years Sunday. When he’s on in nearly all aspects of the game, he’s unbeatable. Nobody has the mental fortitude to take him down when everything else is firing on all cylinders.

That said, Woods has never been one to surge on Sunday.

When he wins, it’s because he built a lead through three rounds and scared the crap out of anyone who dared challenge him on Sunday. His final round performance at the Honda Classic might be a head-scratcher in that regard, especially since Sunday has seemingly been his Achilles’ heel so far this year.

Woods’ biggest issue now is carding four good rounds of golf.

He’s been close, but he hasn’t been able to put it together for 72 holes. Once he does that, the rest of the golf world should start shaking in its collective golf shoes.

Sunday’s 62 is a glimpse at Woods’ capabilities. We haven’t seen him put together many of these fist-pumping rounds in his two-year slump. If he can continue to build on momentum, one month from now, the field at Augusta National – a course Woods loves – has something to be scared of.

classifieds Help Wanted General polished CustomeR SERVICE PRO Are you a perfectionist? Like being part of a high-performance team? Experience with high-end, Ritz-Carlton/Disney style guest service? Motivated by goal setting and the chance to add to your hourly wage with generous bonus programs?

If the answer is yes, yes, yes, and YES, throw everything you believe about how a “typical” dental practice operates right out the window and come see if you are the right person to round out our dynamic team. We treat our patients like royalty, it’s as simple as that, and we need people who understand how to make that happen. If you have the customer service track record, we can teach you about our business so no dental experience is necessary.

Sullinger not who we thought

Maybe Jared Sullinger isn’t who we thought he was.

Maybe Ohio State’s sophomore big man is a square peg we’ve tried to put in a round hole.

Sullinger is obviously an exceptional basketball player. He’s proven over his past two years at OSU that he is among the best forwards in all of college basketball and was named a first-team All-American in the 2010-11 season.

Because he’s been so productive and his teams have been so successful, he’s been anointed a superstar.

But I think that’s a misnomer.

I think Sullinger’s reputation has exceeded his ability.

He’s playing the part of a superstar in a role player’s body.

Let’s look at what makes Sullinger so good. His offensive fundamentals are phenomenal. He has a repertoire of inside post moves to give himself space and top-notch touch around the basket.

He has a big sturdy frame and is strong enough to overpower most defenders off the block (although some would argue Sullinger’s weight loss hampered this ability).

He has a high motor and passes well out of the post.

Those are great attributes, but the typical superstar has a little bit more.

In addition to refined skill, superstars have elite athleticism, explosiveness and the ability to make plays when everything else in a game is crumbling.

Sullinger doesn’t have those qualities.

Before almost every home game,

sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. and sophomore forward J.D. Weatherspoon have a dunk contest. They do windmills, tomahawks, bank balls off the backboard and even come close to converting between-the-legs dunks.

Before OSU lost to Wisconsin Feb. 26, Sullinger decided to make a brief cameo in the competition.

Sullinger ran in from the 3-point line and attempted a windmill dunk. The 6-foot-9 man unimpressively leapt from the ground and missed the dunk. Badly.

The fact is Sullinger just isn’t that athletic and doesn’t have the height to make up for it.

During games, when things are crumbling for OSU, the team looks for Sullinger to make plays. OSU feeds him the ball inside, but Sullinger hasn’t been able to convert.

He’ll catch the ball and try to make a move, but when a double team or quality defender arrives, he either flops for a foul or forces a bad shot.

Sullinger is in no way a bad player. He’s just not what we’ve made him out to be.

Monday, Sullinger was named the Big Ten Player of the Week for his performances against Michigan State and Northwestern.

He totaled 36 points and 28 rebounds in the two last two Buckeye wins and proved he can be dominant.

He was named first team all-conference and as the Buckeyes head into postseason play, Sullinger’s play will dictate OSU’s success.

Maybe Sullinger will prove me wrong.

Maybe he’ll dominate the Big Ten Tournament and lead OSU on a deep run in the Big Dance.

But Sullinger and the Buckeyes need to be realistic.

The Buckeye big man is the best and worst thing OSU has going for them.

He has more skill than anyone on the team, but if he overextends himself and tries to be what something he’s not, it spells trouble for the Buckeyes.

Sullinger is no role player, but he’s no superstar either.

To be successful, OSU and Sullinger will have to find the middle ground.
