GOP House budget seeks to freeze Pell Grant awards Would also repeal Affordable Care Act JEREMY SAVITZ Lantern reporter savitz.3@osu.edu The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed its fiscal year 2016

budget Wednesday, which has been met with mixed reactions from some students and leaders.

The budget was released last week by House Republicans and passed with a vote of 228-199. It included action items such as freezing the maximum Pell Grant award amount for the 10-year budget window, as well as repealing the Affordable Care Act, more commonly referred to as Obamacare.

Pell Grants are direct grants awarded

to students with financial need who have not received a bachelor’s or professional degree, according to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid website. The current maximum award amount for the 2015-16 award year is $5,775, according to the website.

California Rep. Eric Swalwell said freezing Pell Grants hit home for him during a college media call Wednesday. Swalwell said he was only able to finish school through the use

The Ohio State football team returns senior linebacker Joshua Perry and redshirt-sophomore Darron Lee to the starting lineup for the Buckeyes in 2015, but sophomore Raekwon McMillan is set to make his first appearance as a full-time starter at middle linebacker in the upcoming season.

Perry, who led the Buckeyes in tackling during their title run, said he has seen McMillan improve in more ways than one as he transitions into a starting role.

“He is different in terms of how he has matured physically. Mentally, he is a little bit different too,” Perry said. “He is making a big push and we really do need him to be a great player and a great leader because of what Curtis (Grant) did last year. His development is coming along definitely.”

McMillan registered 54 tackles in his freshman campaign in Columbus, and said the support from Perry and Lee has helped with his development as a leader.

“President Obama and House Democrats have expanded Pell Grants in the past, but the GOP budget is going to freeze them in place so they don’t expand with the cost of living,” he said.

Sophomore linebacker Raekwon McMillan is expected to make his first appearance as a full-time starter in the upcoming season.

While Columbus seems to be gradually getting interested in Bitcoin, an Ohio State student’s Bitcoin startup has been operating out of a Silicon Valley business accelerator.

Bitcoin is digital cryptocurrency system developed by a secretive programmer in 2008. It’s an alternative to federally recognized currencies like the U.S. dollar.

Bitcoins can be earned by solving equations with a computer, a process called mining. When a computer mines successfully, it’s rewarded with bitcoins, like when a miner finds gold. The reward is programmed to decrease at intervals until no new bitcoins are generated, so mining has become less profitable over time.

Much like gold and silver, the price of a bitcoin fluctuates. A bitcoin was worth more than $1,000 in December 2013, but today it’s worth about $250, according to Coinbase, a Bitcoin transaction website.

Owning Bitcoin isn’t like owning a physical commodity since you can’t touch it, but obtaining it isn’t difficult: First, download a bitcoin wallet. Second, buy some bitcoins.

Jad Mubaslat, a fourth-year in biomedical engineering, is one of the people making it easier to buy Bitcoin. He founded BitQuick. co in 2013, a startup which facilitates buying Bitcoin from other people online.

Mubaslat was one of the first students to publicize Bitcoin at OSU. Last year, he

Pizza Beer & Jokes tries to make fundraising funny MCKENZIE MERRIMAN Lantern reporter merriman.64@osu.edu Imagine a friend invites you to a fundraiser for their student organization.

Now imagine a warm room with fresh pizza, cold beer and live comedy — this is Pizza Beer & Jokes.

Pizza Beer & Jokes isn’t your typical student org fundraiser, and instead feels like a personal show for the organization that books an event with PB&J. PB&J was founded in 2011 by Aaron Nemo, a 2012 Ohio State alumnus and former member of 8th Floor Improv, one of Ohio State’s improv groups.

As the showcases developed and grew, fellow 8th Floor Improv members Joe Horan and Kyle Tolliver took over PB&J as Nemo graduated and moved to New York to pursue comedy.

“PB&J’s are really exciting shows in the fact they are three separate groups coming

together to create a fun event,” said Horan, a fourth-year in mathematics. “You have Pizza Rustica, providing a performance space for free, the Columbus-based comedians who tell all the jokes, and the student org who advertises the show and gets to keep 100 percent of their door sales.”

Tolliver, a fifth-year in mathematics, said there’s a high demand for fundraising opportunities on campus.

“OSU has over 1,500 student organizations and new ones are added every year.

Every club needs money to do things, and college students love the idea of getting to drink, eat and hang out with friends.”

The price of a PB&J show is $5, not including pizza and beverage sales, and all door fees go directly back to the organization.

“A student club can make money for their club, and all they need to do is enjoy a comedy show,” Tolliver said. “Some orgs have so much fun that they hold 3 or 4

campus GOP from 1A makes the program “permanently sustainable so that it is able to serve students today and in the future.”

The budget also repeals the ACA, which young Americans should take personally, said Natasha McKenzie, president of College Democrats of America.

“The ability to know that I can stay on my parents’ insurance and then go out into the world and take risks is something I need in my early career to ensure I have a chance to get ahead like everybody else,” McKenzie said on the call. “That is why the GOP’s budget is devastating to young people like me.”

McKenzie said 5.7 million young Americans have health insurance through the ACA and another 2.3 million have the ability to stay on their parents’ insurance.

James Alford, a fourth-year in international studies and psychology and the former president of the OSU College Democrats, said he thinks many students benefit from the ACA. “The Affordable Care Act is extremely popular among young people,” he said.

“Being able to stay on parents’ health insurance until 26 has made college a more affordable reality for many Americans.”

The House of Representatives Budget Committee noted repealing the ACA would save $2 trillion.

Levi Cramer, a second-year in political science and a spokesman for the OSU College Republicans, said he believes keeping the ACA would hurt students more if it were kept than if it was repealed.

“When looking to repealing the Affordable Care Act, it’s important to realize that that doesn’t automatically mean a college

Bitcoin from 1A encouraged Backroom Barbershop and Salon owner Shawn Mensi to start accepting Bitcoin, and in the fall, it became the home of Columbus’ first Bitcoin ATM. In spring 2014, Mubaslat founded the OSU Bitcoin Group, a student organization that advocates for Bitcoin usage. It’s advised by Alan Chalker, director of technology solutions for the Ohio Supercomputer Center at OSU. Chalker said he has been following Bitcoin since it was created and was eager to talk to others about it and other cryptocurrencies. Part of his job is coordinating requests to use the OSU supercomputer, and on occasion, he gets requests to use it for Bitcoin mining.

“Nowadays, it’s a complete waste of resources and funding to do it,” Chalker said. “We’ve had a couple situations where graduate students are supposed to be doing other things on our system that we’ve discovered were trying to mine bitcoins, and we’ve shut them down.”

However, Chalker said he is beginning a research project that will determine if other cryptocurrencies can generate enough of a profit to justify using OSU’s supercomputer.

The OSU Bitcoin Group is made up of both students and community members, Chalker said. It recently elected a new president, Ben Fershtman, a first-year in pre-biomedical engineering.

Fershtman said he wants the club to focus on philanthropic opportunities with Bitcoin and help other students, like Mubaslat, who have relevant ideas.

“I’m not sure how many ideas will come through, but I’d like to see some,” Fershtman said.

After expanding his business from the U.S. to Taiwan, India and the Middle East, BitQuick’s growth was stagnating, Mubaslat said.

Mubaslat and BitQuick chief operating officer Chad Davis, who works on the business full-time, traveled to North Carolina for a Bitcoin conference in 2014. There, they met venture capitalist Adam Draper, chief of Boost VC, a Bitcoin business incubator in California.

student is going to be dropped from their parent’s coverage,” he said. “Before the days of Obamacare, many plans allowed parents to keep their children on their plan, so long as they were at least part-time students.”

During the call, DNC Chairwoman and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz referred to a budget as a moral document.

“A budget is a document that really lays out where your priorities are,” WassermanShultz said. “In this case, it is abundantly clear where the GOP has laid theirs. In exchange for tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations, they want to throw young people off their health insurance and gut Pell Grants for low and middle income families.”

Alford, of the OSU College Democrats, said he sees the Republicans’ actions as harmful to college students.

Boost, a “Bitcoin accelerator,” invests in 20-30 companies twice a year, providing amenities like housing and office space for the companies they choose, according to its website.

“He told us that we need to start focusing, and he thought we were spread out,” Mubaslat said.

They applied for Boost’s fifth “tribe” of businesses six months later. After deciding to take Draper’s advice and focus on the U.S., Mubaslat said they applied on the last possible day.

A week later, Draper called them with good news: BitQuick was chosen to be a part of Boost’s tribe.

“Me and Chad were psyched,” Mubaslat said.

For BitQuick’s tribe, Boost has gone “Full Bitcoin,” meaning that all of the companies it has chosen to invest in are Bitcoin companies, according to their official blog.

BitQuick is one of 24 Bitcoin-based businesses which has been operating out of Boost’s space in the Silicon Valley for the last three months.

In addition to space, mentorship and promotion, each business will receive 300 bitcoins at the conclusion of the incubator in May, currently valued at about $73,000, based on the current value of bitcoins on Coinbase.

Since joining Boost, BitQuick has had consistent growth, Mubaslat said. The week before leaving for Boost, they had $22,000 worth of Bitcoin transactions and 81 unique users.

Those numbers have climbed week-by-week, reaching $73,000 worth of transactions last week as well as 130 unique users.

BitQuick has upgraded, too. They started using a threepassword encryption method for each transaction and are now insured for $250,000 worth of bitcoins through a BitGo institutional Bitcoin wallet, a computerized “wallet” with extra online security for institutions.

They also started using ID verification through Netverify, an online and mobile payment identity verification company, to exclude black-market activities from the service, which Mubaslat said is a common problem with Bitcoin services.

Mubaslat said Bitcoin keeps distancing itself more and more from the black market, citing the rise in Bitcoin acceptance by businesses like Microsoft and increased investment

“The attack on Pell Grants obviously makes it more difficult for college students to pay for college, which is already extremely expensive,” Alford said. “It’s an attack on both students’ rights and students’ abilities to educate themselves.

Everyone knows that a successful Western economy runs best with well-educated people and it’s just really sad to see this sort of deterioration.”

But Cramer said he thinks the plan will fiscally benefit Americans.

“I think it’s a good thing that we are seeing a balanced budget be proposed,” he said. “Too often, Congress spends more than they have in an attempt to create an ideal world, when (in) reality, we need to be sure that we’re cutting back our spending to meet the revenues they’re taking in.”

Bitcoin, a digital cryptocurrency system that acts as an alternative to federally recognized currencies like the U.S. dollar, has wavered in value over the past year. in Bitcoin from major players like the New York Stock Exchange.

These uses have the potential to increase as Bitcoin support is added to payment software used by businesses, as well as mobile applications, Chalker said.

“You’ve got Apple Pay and Google (Wallet), more and more of these electronic payment things, and it’s great for Bitcoin because it’s just another flavor to it,” Chalker said.

Meanwhile, Mubaslat is still enrolled at OSU and plans to graduate on time in May. Mubaslat said he might move the business back to the Silicon Valley after graduation because of the connections he has made there.

Fershtman said he would “absolutely” take an opportunity like Mubaslat received for BitQuick.

“That’s the dream right there, going to Silicon Valley and getting the opportunity to work on something like that,” Fershtman said.

Mubaslat agreed.

“I feel like I’m living the dream, honestly,” he said.

are on the field, I feel like those guys trust me so anything I say, we’re all on the same page together,” McMillan said. “And (co-defensive coordinator and linebackers) coach (Luke Fickell) has trust in all three of us on the field.”

Lee, who was just a three-star recruit coming out of high school, where he also played quarterback, said the camaraderie among the linebackers is great, even with McMillan taking on such a big role in a veteran-laden unit.

“Me and Raekwon have a great relationship. I have so much respect for him and he’s got so much respect for me,” Lee said.

“He was a five-star (recruit). We call him the chosen one, just to mess with him.”

The trio is set to anchor a defense that returns five other starters from the championship team.

Fickell said motivating a team that has already reached the pinnacle is a challenge, especially with younger players like McMillan who have known only success at OSU. “We have got to find a way that we can create some discomfort so that you can continue to grow. That’s one thing about that never-satisfied attitude,” Fickell said.

“The Joshua Perrys of the world saw the struggles of Curtis Grant and they saw the struggles that we went through for a couple years. Some of those guys like Raekwon and others haven’t seen those struggles.”

Motivating McMillan has been a point of emphasis for Fickell, who said he is trying to motivate the Hinesville, Ga., native in “any way possible.”

McMillan, though, said the current defensive squad is even more hungry to improve now than it was last season coming off a loss in the Orange Bowl.

“This year, we have worked harder to start off in spring because we have been to the top. A team coming off a loss in the first round of the playoffs probably is not feeling as good,” McMillan said.

“But us, coming off a national championship win, we feel like we got to exceed what we did last year and become a better team.”

For the current linebackers to continue to be successful, Fickell said there is one quality he has seen in linebacker groups from the past that he tries to instill in his current group.

“When you’ve got a great unit, you’ve got great competition,” Fickell said. “You look back and evaluate the units that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of here in the past.

The biggest thing about them was the competitive nature and the competitiveness of the guys behind them that pushed them and made them better.”

The Buckeyes will likely continue to push each as spring practice is set to continue through April 18, which is the scheduled date for the annual Spring Game held at Ohio Stadium and the end of spring practice.

McMillan’s first official start is set to come against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va., when the Buckeyes open the 2015 regular season.

OSU women to take on Michigan and Hofstra in Columbus KALEY RENTZ Lantern reporter rentz.21@osu.edu After women’s rowing was added to the Big Ten in 1999, it took 14 years for another women’s sport to officially join the conference. That changed in June 2013 as the Big Ten announced that women’s lacrosse would be joining the conference as the 28th official sport.

Almost two years later, Michigan, Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern and Ohio State are set to open the first Big Ten women’s lacrosse season this weekend.

After playing in the American Lacrosse Conference throughout her career, OSU senior attackman Jackie Cifarelli said she is honored to be playing in the Big Ten. “It’s awesome. Being a Buckeye, just knowing you’re in the Big Ten, going against some of the best schools in the country, it’s exciting,” Cifarelli said. “Having the Big Ten logo on our jerseys now, it’s an honor.”

Senior defenseman Taylor Donahue has started all 10 games for the Buckeyes this season.

Fittingly, the No. 14 Buckeyes (8-2, 0-0) are set to take on Big Ten rival, the Michigan Wolverines (5-4, 0-0), in their first game competing in the conference.

Last year, the Buckeyes played the Wolverines for the first time in the program’s history and won, 18-3.

But despite that blowout victory, coach Alexis Venechanos said she won’t overlook Michigan this year.

“They are a more improved team and they play a physical brand of lacrosse, so we are excited to match that and use that to our advantage,” Venechanos said. “I think you just

kind of throw away the records and throw away all the numbers when you play such a rivalry game.”

The Buckeyes had high expectations entering the season after appearing in the NCAA tournament last year for first time since 2003. OSU started its 2015 season 8-2, but suffered losses to No. 15 Stanford and No. 19 Notre Dame. OSU has yet to showcase its true potential, Venechanos said.

“We talked about playing a fearless brand of lacrosse. We haven’t played our best lacrosse yet, but we’ve had a great week of practice. And if we just continue to be aggressive and be fearless, we can be successful,” she said.

The Buckeyes have the some key individual pieces in place, but Cifarelli said success comes from the whole team working together to play the full game.

“Our team is so dynamic, so just being able to play the full 60 minutes, just finishing every game and finishing every goal,” Cifarelli said. “We are so fast, our midfielders are always working so hard down the field, but I think now just practicing and knowing when to slow it down, we can limit our turnovers and win the games.”

Venechanos said the Buckeyes’ first Big Ten game presents an opportunity to improve after losing to Notre Dame on Saturday.

“Every time we step on to the field we want to be better. We are excited to always leave a mark. Our program has continued to get better and we are excited for these opportunities,” she said.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to take on the Wolverines on Friday at 5 p.m. and Hofstra on Sunday at noon.

Men’s tennis puts another streak on the line Buckeyes last lost a regular-season conference matchup in 2005 against Northwestern ADRIENNE ROBBINS Lantern reporter robbins.254@osu.edu The Ohio State’s men’s tennis team has dominated the Big Ten for roughly a decade, but trips to Northwestern on Friday and Illinois on Sunday could be tests for the Buckeyes.

“It’s going to be a very tough weekend.

They’re big matches,” coach Ty Tucker said.

The last time No. 11 Ohio State lost a Big Ten regular season matchup was on April 24, 2005, at Northwestern. This year, the No. 19 Wildcats are not only 8-1 at home but have won six of their last seven matches.

The Buckeyes hit a rough patch with losses in two matches before entering Big Ten play for good, then swept the state of Michigan with wins over both the University of Michigan and Michigan State this past week. The wins serve as a nice reminder of what OSU can do, redshirt-senior Hunter Callahan said.

“A win is always good, especially after two losses in a row,” he said. “Good just

to get that feeling of winning back.”

Even with the taste of winning back in the Buckeyes’ mouths, Tucker said he hasn’t forgotten their recent shortcomings.

“Our math is a little bit short this year as far as getting to four (points), but we have to concentrate on Northwestern,” he said.

Getting through Northwestern with a win is a feat in itself, but getting out of the state of Illinois without a loss will be another story. The Buckeyes became familiar with No. 3 Illinois at the ITA Indoor Team Championship this year when the Fighting Illini ended OSU’s run with a 4-2 win.

“It is still Illinois … so there’s always going to be pressure no matter what,” he said.

Tucker said he is extremely familiar with rivalry, saying it’s been a “battle” for the past 15 years with Illinois.

Besides the streak of 96-straight conference wins that is on the line this weekend for OSU, Tucker said there is much more that can be lost.

“Your goal at the beginning of the year is to win a Big Ten championship and host an NCAA regional. That’s definitely on the line this weekend,” he said.

The Buckeyes are set to take on the Wildcats at 6 p.m. Friday in Evanston, Ill.

21 UNDER 21 Cbus offers many drinking alternatives for OSU students

Ogonna Ononye Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu Drinking is a social event for college students. With nothing to do, nowhere to go and nothing to talk about, students are thirsty — thirsty for entertainment and adventure.

More often than not, students quench their thirst with booze at the dozens of nightclubs and bars catered to the students 21 and over.

But what about the students under the age of 21 who are just as parched without the same access to happy hour? Or those who simply want to break up the monotony of party-going and barhopping?

Regardless of the fact that I fall one month short of being legal myself, I truly believe Columbus is a city brimming with adventures for all young people. For the same price as a bar’s cover charge, you can catch an Uber, rent a Car2Go or simply use the COTA bus system to get to any of these adventurous locations: 1. Trapped in a Room with a Zombie (421 W. State Street) Yes, this is a real thing. You can basically star in your own version of “The Walking Dead” for less than the price of a few stacks of red solo cups, a 12-pack of Bud Light, and damage control to your house party.

Participants are put in the room with a hungry zombie and they must put their wits and strengths together to escape in under an hour.

Tickets are $28 and reservations are made online.

2. Metro Parks There are more than 16 metro parks in and around Columbus, including Blacklick Woods and Battelle Darby Creek. That’s more parks than bars you can feasibly hit during the famous senior bar crawl. Have a cookout

Friday March 27, 2015

or a picnic date. Take a new profile picture of you looking adventurous and standing on a tree trunk. Go sing “The hills are alive with the sound of music” on a random hill in a park.

Just go.

3. Gallery Hop Columbus is a diverse center for fashion, food, music, antiques and crazy sales — all of which can be found during the Short North’s gallery hop. Gallery Hop is full of new gallery openings and street performers. It happens the first Saturday of every month, so there’s plenty of time to plan ahead.

4. North Market If you haven’t been to North Market since freshman-year orientation, it’s time to go again. Whether you live off campus or stay in a residence hall, you will inevitably get hungry for a taste of something other than ramen noodles. For reasonable prices, you can have Vietnamese, Italian and German delicacies all in one sitting and savory bakery items for dessert.

5. Book Loft of German Village (631 S. 3rd Street) Not just for avid readers, the Book Loft is a maze of hidden treasures disguised as books.

Get lost in hundreds of stacks of books, magazines, posters and literary-themed apparel, which all come together to fill the more than 30 rooms of the building.

6. Cake decorating, cooking and crafting Have your cake and eat it too with cooking, baking and cake decorating classes offered at any of the Jo-Ann Fabrics stores in Columbus.

Professionals also instruct classes for crocheting, sewing, paper crafts, photography and more. Class schedules can be found in-stores and online. Classes range in price from $10 to $55, depending on the subject.

21 Under 21 from 1B 7. Columbus Association for the Performing Arts Theaters are not just for movies. The Lincoln and Ohio Theatres hold musicals, shows, performances and guest speakers, occasionally featuring Ohio State students and faculty of the performing arts. The Columbus Association for the Performing Arts also hosts exclusive events for $5 for students and young adults, making the arts in Columbus affordable especially for college students. A complete listing of shows and tickets running through June 3 are available on Gofor5.com.

8. The Columbus Symphony Orchestra From lively, visual dynamics of composers to enchanting sounds from the players, the symphony is a great way to celebrate music, culture and history. My friend went with her boyfriend and they sat next to an old couple that hummed along to every piece. So clearly it’s a perfect date night for all couples, young and old.

9. Archery lessons Columbus seems to be quite fond of Robin Hood with its archery options. Velocity Archery Range (2480 Creekway Drive) and Ace Archery (11785 Johnstown Utica Road) are just a few of the places to pick up your bow and arrow and try not to injure anyone.

10. Villages of Columbus From German Village to Victorian Village to Italian District, there are plenty of gorgeous, historic areas in Columbus. There are green spaces, restaurants, boutiques and exposedbrick buildings — perfect for candid photo ops, dining ops, and date ops … all the ops you can imagine.

11. Columbus Zoo area It’s a bit of a drive (or a carpool), but the zoo is always a fascinating time. Around the Columbus Zoo area are great dining options, an AMC movie theater, the Chief Leatherlips Monument — a limestone sculpture of the Wyandot Indian chief — and touring historic Dublin, Ohio.

12. Thurber House (77 Jefferson Ave.) Thurber House is a living museum created from the preserved home of OSU alumnus, author and cartoonist James Thurber. Guests

can take self-guided tours for free every day from 1-4 p.m. or guided tours on Sundays.

Guided tours are $2 on Sundays for students and seniors and $4 for adults.

13. Schwartz Castle (492 S. Third St.) This old home of German immigrant Frederick Schwartz is said to be haunted, based on the tale of Schwartz himself going mad from heartbreak. Find out for yourself if his ghost haunts its old passageways and secret rooms.

14. Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Although snow seems to still be threatening to fall outside our windows, the conservatory is in full swing of spring weather. Get a taste of sunny days and bright flowers weather by visiting the conservatory’s displays of “Orchids and Botanical Exploration” through April 5, and “Blooms and Butterflies” through Sept. 27.

15. COSI (333 W. Broad St.) Relive your childhood field trip days by taking a bus to COSI. COSI brings sci-fi fantasies to life in interactive exhibits where you can be a spy, dash through outer space and visit the planetarium. Be a kid again. You know you want to.

16. Concerts Columbus natives are lucky to live in the capital of our state because it’s the one stop that is almost always a guaranteed venue for music tours and festivals. Local music venues like the LC Pavilion, Newport Music Hall and The Basement are set to host popular artists such as Walk the Moon, Matt and Kim and Metro Station in the upcoming weeks of spring, all the way into the summer.

17. Restaurants Don’t settle for a basic dining experience with wings and beer at a pub. The Short North area and the Arena District have tons of creative dining options to try out on a spring night. Experience super elaborate breakfast at SuperChef’s (199 E. Broad St.), or try a crazy grilled cheese with meatballs or mac ‘n’ cheese (on the sandwich) at Melt.

18. Whetstone Park of Roses (Hollenback Road) Roses are red, violets are blue, finish the rhyme with your own point of view after taking a

PB&J from 1A shows a year. It’s wonderful to be able to build a relationship with orgs and to be their favorite go-to for fundraising and a good time.”

Pizza Rustica, located in the South Campus Gateway, is a happy medium between bar and restaurant, which makes for a great space for comedy.

“At a campus bar you can’t try to do a comedy show when people are trying to party,” Horan said. “At a pizza place, there are minimal distractions, allowing the comedians to perform better and the audience to have a more enjoyable time.”

A successful show relies on the audience of people who want to have fun and genuinely enjoy a comedy show put on just for their organization.

stroll through the fields of luscious and beautiful roses. If you’re trying to recreate any Nicholas Sparks novel’s date night magic, this is the spot.

19. Sporting events Sports fans don’t have to be limited to the Schott and the ‘Shoe to chill their sports fever.

Catch the last two days of the U.S. Collegiate Synchronized Swimming Championships at the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. Friday tickets are $10 and Saturday tickets are $15.

Nationwide Area is also home to the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey team that play games various weekdays and weekends. Papa John’s offers $15 and $25 tickets for students, available at the box office one hour before each game.

20. Thrifting (various locations on North High Street) Stores like Out of the Closet, Rag-O-Rama and Goodwill Columbus make it possible to donate your unwanted clothing while updating your wardrobe at a low cost.

21. Museums and art galleries Save the long walks on the beach for summer and instead, take a long walk down the streets of Columbus. Extend gallery hop by taking a tour of museums and galleries in downtown Columbus like the Fresh A.I.R. Gallery, a center that uses art to address the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Other museums include the Central Ohio Fire Museum, the Riffe Gallery and OSU’s Urban Arts Space.

“PB&Js are booked showcases, not open mics, so Kyle and I are asking people that we know have strong material that consistently gets laughs,” Horan said. “As long as the audience is looking for a good time, they will find it at our show.”

Tolliver and Horan work to book as many shows as possible, with new events added to their Facebook page almost daily.

On Feb. 26, BuckeyeFit held a fundraiser with PB&J, and comedians Lisa Berry and Peter Brieck tailored their sets to feature bits about exercise and gym-life.

John Paul Anders, a fourth-year in exercise science education and president and founder of BuckeyeFit, decided to hold the BuckeyeFit fundraiser with PB&J after attending a show in the past.

“BuckeyeFit is more than just a group of students working out together, but (it’s) also forming a sense of community and

friendship,” Anders said of the crowd that gathered for the PB&J show. “How better else to do so than drinking beer and listening to some jokes?”

The funds raised by BuckeyeFit the night of their PB&J show went to their philanthropic partner, The Star House, a drop-in shelter for homeless youths between the ages of 14-24.

“The Star House community liaison, Samuel Masters, congratulated us on our first-ever fundraiser and was glad that such a young organization was successful in raising money for a good cause,” Anders said. “The money we raised is going to be put towards everyday supplies that we take for granted.”

Pizza Beer & Jokes puts the fun in fundraisers, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Buckeyes of all kinds.

opinion As Americans, we must remember we pay for gov’t benefits Letter to the editor: The letter to the editor by President Barack Obama, published in The Lantern on Monday, appeals to us all. It appeals to the child in us. That is what politicians do — particularly politicians who have abandoned American values and replaced them with the values of leftism. “Vote for my party, the Democratic party, because we care for you.

You are human; you have rights. You have the right to education, health care, a kind, compassionate boss, a well-paying job, sick leave, food, housing, maternity care, an Obamaphone, care for your old age, clothing … endless rights to free stuff. We in the Democratic Party are just like your mom and dad. We take care of you from cradle to grave. We give you lots and lots of free stuff.

We soften the trials and tribulations of life.

Don’t worry about the details; that’s what adults and mean conservatives do. Just sit back enjoy the ride; this week, enjoy your free college education.”

But once we leave kinder-college and enter the adult world, most of us grow up, become strong men and women, embrace American values and reject such destructive childish, leftist foolishness. We know nothing, nothing at all, is free in life, and you have to work for what you want and need.

We don’t worry about oceans drowning us from carbon dioxide; we worry about the reality of oceans of free-stuff — debt killing the prospects for a decent life for our kids. You have to pay for the stuff, girls and boys, men and women. Government doesn’t give anyone anything. Government

has no money. Government takes by threat of violence hard-earned money out of your pocket and gives it to another person to pay his college bill. Government blithely prints money to churn the free stuff engine.

Government orders your neighbor to go out and work for you because government says you deserve the fruits of such labor more than the man who has earned it. That’s not right. That’s not moral; it’s not American.

That’s not lawful under our Constitution.

That’s not “social justice,” it’s extreme social injustice.

What you do have a right to is to desire an education. You have the right to go out and earn money to pay for the skills and intellect of your professor. That’s what you have a right to. That’s the obligation you have as well. You also have a moral obligation to abide by the contract you make with your neighbor to borrow his money for college. You have the obligation to pay him back in the manner it states in such a contract. You have no moral right to cheer a politician that negates the loan and leaves the neighbor who has lent you the money high and dry.

And regarding education, most of our students today, despite all the money and all the numbers attending college, graduate ignorant in vast important areas of life.

Our graduates know how to recycle but can’t string an intelligible sentence together about our Constitution, our great elevated history, our Republican versus Democratic form of government, or our other wonderful basic American values. Basic economics is unknown by most. The primary reason, for example, college is so expensive is that

Courtesy of TNS

President Barack Obama government subsidizes it. What do you think a college president does when facing tens of thousands of bright-eyed, clueless, Hope and Change students handed wheelbarrows of money provided them “free” by the government? He builds more hightech gyms, state-of-the-art dorms, hands foolish professors of feminist poetry a raise to $175,000 a year, and massively boosts tuition. That’s why college, high school, middle and grade school are so expensive.

It’s because of government and how many of us harken to its call to stay children all of

our lives. Reject the call; reject the leftism.

Grow up and become strong American men and women with American values. Reject the mommy and daddy big state pandering to your lowest desires.

Maybe learn some American values in places like the great five-minute free courses at Prager University, an online education resource.
