The battle against graffiti is growing as university area students and officials see it reflecting negatively on the university and its community.

The University Area Commission is working toward changing a law that would require the clean-up of graffiti from all occupied structures in Columbus.

Ian MacConnell, president of the UAC, said his group seeks to amend the law, which requires the removal of graffiti from only vacant structures. The UAC’s proposal to the Columbus City Council would require property owners to clean graffiti off their property and the city to provide the resources to do so.

Greater intolerance of graffiti was recently seen

at the trial of tagger Seth King, known for spraypainting his signature, “seed.” On Feb. 15, King was sentenced to a year in jail and five years of probation. When he is released, King will be required to clean his graffiti displayed around the city, MacConnell said.

“While this person has pled guilty to just three charges of graffiti,” MacConnell said, “we know he has tagged hundreds of properties and public homes.”

MacConnell said it is a fundamental issue to the University District that should not be ignored and the law allows the presence of graffiti to grow.

“The reason it is allowed to proliferate is because property owners are not required by law to remove graffiti from their property,” MacConnell said. “And (graffiti) says to people in that community that people are getting away with crimes blatantly.”

A majority of those living in the University District do not own their residences, so the responsibility

of removing graffiti is left to the owners and the businesses that maintain the buildings, MacConnell said.

“Across the entire district, only 13 percent of citizens own their home,” MacConnell said. “If you own your own home, you are more likely to care.

Students have to live with it because property owners, who don’t care, don’t clean it up.”

Nick Demoss, a second-year in chemistry, said he had only seen graffiti like that on off-campus buildings in the inner city.

“I immediately thought of a rough neighborhood,” Demoss said. “After living around it for a while, you kind of get used to it and it just becomes another thing that’s there.”

Undergraduate Student Government President Micah Kamrass said the university area is a reflection of the student body and should be a nice representation of Ohio State students.

Facing the largest protest of this issue at the Ohio Statehouse, lawmakers unveiled a 99-page amendment Tuesday to Senate Bill 5 that will remove the right to strike for all public employees and replace binding arbitration with a system giving a legislative body authority to vote on public contracts.

At the Ohio Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee meeting at 1 p.m., Sen. Shannon Jones introduced the amendment to the bill she sponsored and defended it while an estimated 8,500 protesters denounced it.

“This bill gives power back to the taxpayer and restores flexibility to the management of their hard-earned dollars,” said Jones, a first-term republican.

Jones said the proposed amendment is a compromise that will grow the economy and create jobs.

Barb Summers, a 2nd grade teacher in Lancaster City Schools, said the bill could end up eliminating her job.

“For financial reasons, they could get rid of anybody,” she said of a provision to prohibit length of service from being the sole factor in lay-offs.

The committee is expected to vote Wednesday to move the bill onto the Senate floor, where a vote could take place later Wednesday or Thursday, and is likely to draw more protesters.

Thousands gather on the Statehouse lawn to oppose Senate Bill 5 on Tuesday. “State authorities said that there were about 8,500 people gathered, and we believe at one point at its peak there were over 10,000 here at once, and over 20,000 will be here throughout the day,” said David Williams, a spokesman for the unions represented at the rally.

Ohio State has clear regulations against alcohol consumption within residence halls, but students are still drinking and getting in trouble, albeit not as much as years before.

According to Ohio State’s Annual Campus Security Report, there were 495 incidents of alcohol law violations in residence halls, 491 of those ending in judicial referrals, or write ups, and only four of those incidents leading to arrests in 2009. The arrests in residence halls and judicial referrals were lower in 2009 than both 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Billy Minor, a fourth-year in finance, is a second-year resident adviser in Bradley-Paterson, a residence hall that he said doesn’t seem to have as many alcohol violations as other residence halls.

“We set our residents to a high standard, and our hall directors set us to a high standard. So if you go to Stradley (Hall) or Steeb (Hall), where you have freshman dorms that are bigger and they’re just a little bit more geared toward freshman drinking, if you will, those buildings are probably more troublesome,” Minor said.

Hall directors for the Stradley and Steeb residence halls and the assistant director of housing administration were unable to comment.

Specifics about residence halls’ respective infractions are not available, said Paul Bellini, assistant director of residence life.

“We follow state and local laws regarding alcohol and we encourage students to conduct themselves legally and responsibly. Staff, including RAs, enforce the policies and promote responsible behavior,” said Cheryl Lyons, the director of residence life, in an e-mail.

In the case of a potential alcohol violation within his dorm, Minor said it is required that he “write a short report to the senior staff member, saying, ‘This

Cell phones increase brain activity; lasting effects untold SARAH STEMEN Lantern reporter stemen.66@osu.edu What used to be considered harmless conversations have cell phone users thinking about the consequences.

After talking on a mobile phone for just 50 minutes, activity increases in brain cells, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Researchers said mobile phones that are turned off did not create the same brain activity. They said more research should stem from this study because the lasting effects of brain activity are unknown.

Dr. Nora Volkow, the lead author of the study and a neuroscientist for the National Institutes of Health, said the study looked at how electromagnetic radiation from cell phones affects glucose metabolism in the brain.

“The findings are an indication that exposure to cell phones activate the brain much more easily than we previously thought,” Volkow said.

She said brain activity means the brain cells use glucose to create energy. What is still unknown about the study is whether the effect of artificially activating brain cells will be negative or positive. Rhonda Burton, a third-year in fashion and retail studies, said cell phone usage is such a large part of society, she’s not sure such research would affect students.

“Your cell phone is a part of your identity,” Burton said. “I can’t stand not having it on me at all times.”

Robert Hayes, a fourth-year in English, said he doesn’t know the physical effects that cell phones will have in the future.

Graffiti from 1A

Police officer says graffiti is citizens’ No. 1 complaint “Ohio State has been moving forward and really attracting the best students, and the community we live in should reflect that,” Kamrass said. “It’s (graffiti) something we shouldn’t have as part of our OSU community.”

Jason Thomas, a fourth-year in electrical and computer engineering, said although he doesn’t see much graffiti on university buildings, it can make buildings look worse.

Graffiti has sometimes been recognized to impact the safety of an area by marking property to be burglarized at a later date, MacConnell said.

“That’s why it is very important to report it to the police and to their property owners,” MacConnell said. “Subconsciously or consciously, people feel less safe because they are surrounded by what could be perceived as crime activity occurring there.”

Graffiti can be reported to the police department and an officer will be dispatched to file a criminal report, MacConnell said.

“That is pretty much where it ends,” MacConnell said. “If you report it, your property owner will hopefully then clean it off.”

Danny Kaminski, a fourth-year in psychology, talks on his cell phone while passing Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee on the Oval Tuesday.

“In terms of physical health, I really don’t know the effects that cell phones will have,” Hayes said. “But mental health-wise, I think that cell phones have and will continue to transform our society.”

The study included 47 healthy adults — a small group that researchers said was scientifically valid for this type of research. The publication

the Department of Public Service that provides materials to help remove and clean graffiti. The UAC’s proposal would require property owners to remove all graffiti within 30 days and would make the resources to do so readily available to them.

“They are victims of these graffiti vandals,” MacConnell said. “So let’s require them to remove the graffiti, and let’s help them with the resources.”

Columbus Police Officer Scott Clinger said graffiti is citizens’ No. 1 complaint.

“Within the civic associations and block watches, graffiti runs at the top,” Clinger said.

He said this is because of how graffiti is perceived in terms of safety.

“Do you feel safe in a neighborhood with a lot of graffiti?” Clinger said. “No, you don’t.”

The university district is responding to the UAC’s actions with full support.

“People are finally organizing together to say enough is enough,” MacConnell said. “And they are working to have people held responsible.”

As graffiti is becoming increasingly prevalent, the issue of safety and community remains at the heart of the UAC’s goals, MacConnell said.

“It is important for us to provide a safe environment for young people and students in the neighborhood,” MacConnell said. “Because you’re the next generation of problem solvers, we need to provide a safe, clean place for you guys to succeed.”

said researchers tested levels of brain activity when the phone was in use and placed against the head versus when the phone was against the head, but turned off. The session lasted 50 minutes.

Subjects who had the phone turned on had “significantly higher” brain activity in the region closest to the antenna compared to those who did not have the phone on, according to the study.

Volkow said she does not know whether the artificial activation of brain cells will have long-term negative effects, which is why researchers are calling for further investigation.

Volkow’s advice: Keep your cell phone away from your head.

“The human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones, but for the brain to be impacted, the cell phone has to be close to the head,” she said.

Volkow said since she began her research career, she always uses a wire earpiece because the effects of this radiation are still unknown.

The research sparked another study conducted that concluded a majority of the radiofrequency energy emitted by a mobile phone is absorbed by the hand and head of its user. The study was also published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

“In addition to concerns about potential harmful effects of such exposure, such as the issue of risk of brain cancer, change in brain function related to cell phone radiofrequencies is also a concern,” the publication reads. “Studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of cell phone use on brain electrical activities, neurophysiology, and behavior.”

21-year-olds are allowed to drink in dormitory rooms underage drinking happens and that drinking happens on campus, but there are rules we have to enforce to make the building a healthy and safe place to live and be social,” Minor said. “We’re not trying to catch anyone.”

Minor said he rarely deals with more than three violations in a single night.

“You may run into an alcohol violation on a weekend night, and you may run into five,” Minor said. “I have never seen a night that wasn’t Halloween or Mirror Lake night where I’ve had more than two or three.”

Erik Stewart, a second-year in political science, was written up for an alcohol infraction in Paterson Hall, though he said he was not drinking.

“We had 13 people in the room and the RAs came and knocked on the door,” Stewart said.

“They had heard all this music and all these glasses slamming against this little beer pong table we had set up in the middle of the room, and for some reason we thought we were going to get away with it.”

Rally from 1A

Some protesters think bill is purely a political move estimated to be at least 8,500, started waving signs and chanting at about 10 a.m., and organizers expected the rally to last until about 6 p.m.

“The protestors in Wisconsin and here in Columbus are passionate. I recognize that change is difficult, but we must stand together,” said Gov. John Kasich in a press release Tuesday. “This issue is about our desire to give more power to taxpayers in our state. These reforms are just part of the comprehensive reform package we will be enacting to make Ohio prosperous once again.”

House minority leader Armond Budish, D-Beachwood, said the argument that public employees are overpaid is “false.”

“Cafeteria workers aren’t overpaid,” Budish said. “Neither are school bus drivers, teachers, fire fighters or police officers. This is definitely a political move.”

Budish said if the bill is voted out of committee and out of the Senate, then his fellow democrats in the house will do their best to keep it from passing.

“I think this bill will be seriously detrimental to middle-class Ohioans,” Budish said.

For the bill to pass in the Senate, 17 votes are needed. There are 23 republicans and 10 democrats in the Senate.

Mike McColgan, former member of Dropkick Murphys, a Celtic punk band, said labor unions’ main function is to collectively bargain, and eliminating or greatly restricting that right will weaken them.

McColgan’s band, Street Dogs, performed at the rally.

“To try to get rid of unions, or to break them, by stripping them of their collective bargaining rights,

SAM OBERMYER Lantern reporter obermyer.1@osu.edu From NPR to Fox News, Juan Williams said the American media are undergoing a shocking shift.

Fox News political analyst Williams spoke at the Wexner Center for the Arts on Tuesday afternoon about his October firing from NPR. “I suspect for many of you the reason to come here this afternoon to see me is the same reason you go to watch NASCAR. You know, car crashes, firings,” Williams said.

NPR fired Williams after he made a comment, which some considered racist, to Bill O’Reilly on the Oct. 18 “O’Reilly Factor.”

“I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country,” Williams told O’Reilly. “But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

Williams, 56, said the response to his comments shocked him.

“I had no idea when I said what I said that it would create such a storm,” Williams told The Lantern. “Obviously, this is much bigger than me, something has

touched a nerve in American society.”

Williams has spent most of his life working as a reporter for The Washington Post and NPR. He currently writes for The Hill newspaper in Washington in addition to his role at Fox News.

“There is this tremendous shift going on in the American media … what you see is there is more and more niche journalism, as I call it,” Williams said.

Williams said opinion cable news shows are not bad, they just should be viewed as one side of the news.

The speech was part of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs’ annual Stanley Muroff Civil Liberties Forum. “(Williams) is a national figure in journalism and public affairs and I think he likes to get out and to meet people in places other than Washington, D.C., which is kind of a bubble, and I think he likes interacting with students,” said Charles Wise, the founding director of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs.

Williams said the support he received from across the political spectrum after his firing amazed and astonished him. He is writing a book about the experience titled “Muzzled,” scheduled to come out later this year.

Williams said he knows Gov. John Kasich from the republican’s time in Congress and working at Fox News.

Minor said anyone 21 years of age and older can drink in his or her room as long as nobody underage is present, which would constitute an irresponsible drinking situation. Stewart said this is his current understanding of the rules as well, after his infraction.

“To know the rules and to understand the rules are two different things. I wasn’t drinking,” Stewart said. “I didn’t understand that by me just being there was against the rules as well.”

The Residence Hall Handbook says, “Residents 21 years of age may possess and consume legal beverages in private rooms or suites (with the door closed) when such possession and consumption is consistent with the Ohio Revised Code and the university Code of Student Conduct.”

Stewart said he was told to write an essay citing rules and regulations he was not already aware of from the housing handbook as his punishment. He said, as far as he knew, the others involved were subjected to a similar punishment.

“There’s no sense in University Housing trying to eliminate underage drinking, and I think they very much understand that,” Minor said. “I think the University Housing stance is to make sure if the residents choose to drink, they do it in a safe manner, and they know their limits and the dangers of alcohol.”

is just wrong,” McColgan said. “That’s why you see people all over the country standing up and saying ‘enough is enough, we’re not going to turn the other cheek anymore.’”

Other protesters saw the bill as republicans taking a political shot at unions, who historically support democratic candidates.

“It’s not about the deficit, it’s about weakening unions,” said Amanda Ripke, an Ohio State alum and member of the Communications Workers of America. “They’re pitting the public and private sector against each other when we should be working together.”

Floyd Dockery of UAW 1714 in Lordstown, said the bill boils down to “class warfare.”

“We’re just looking for a fair, livable wage to raise our families,” Dockery said.

Will Klatt is in OSU’s continuing education program, hoping to become a high school history and government teacher.

“This is just part of an agenda by republicans seeming to want to entirely dismantle what I care about,” Klatt said, citing, in addition to SB-5, the decreasing or eliminating federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Americorps, Planned Parenthood and higher education on the state and federal level.

Should the bill pass and become law, Klatt said he will not give up immediately.

“We’re going to force them to repeal it,” he said.

Some protesters were even trying to repeal legislators.

“Our constitution needs to be amended with a recall,” said David Westrich of Canton, who started his own website to spark a ballot initiative to amend Ohio’s constitution to allow voters to literally vote out representatives who they feel “didn’t listen to them.”

“What Kasich’s doing, he’s not representing us,” Westrich said.

Juan Williams, a Fox News analyst, speaks at the Stanley Muroff Civil Liberties Forum held in the Film and Video Theater in the Wexner Center for the Arts on Tuesday.

“You stop and think of everything from business development under John Kasich to dealing with public sector unions, to making sure that the budget is correct,” Williams said. “And I think it’s his moment because he’s got a clear working majority in both houses and he’s the governor, but he’s got major issues and if he does not deliver, I subject that the voters will be quite harsh.”

Williams said he was not familiar enough with the Ohio budget to make specific suggestions, but as a general thought, he would not cut education funding.

Hannah Harris, a fourth-year in history, said she enjoyed the event and thought Williams tried to clarify what had happened to him.

“I just generally attend anything by the John Glenn School. They generally bring in good speakers, interesting speakers,” Harris said.

A donor and two co-sponsors paid for the event, but specific costs were not made available to The Lantern.

“Every year we have a donor, Mr. Stan Muroff, who contributes money to produce a forum about civil liberties,” said Laura Sipe, the events manager for the John Glenn School of Public Affairs.

“This year we actually have two additional co-sponsors, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the multicultural center.”

The forum was sold out to 300 students and community members, although about two-thirds of the seats were full.

student voice Closing Delaware Center akin to putting down ‘unwanted family dog’ christian peregrina Lantern columnist peregrina.3@osu.edu My first two academic years were spent in a two-story building on Graphics Way in Lewis Center, the Delaware Center — Ohio State Marion’s branch campus. Without question, that branch helped mold my vulnerable, adolescent self into the more adult version I am today.

Reminiscing about what all the faculty and students did for me is not going to change the reality of what is happening to the facility now. On Feb. 9, the community was formally told that the Delaware Center would be closing its doors by the end of the academic year.

Since then, The Lantern has had three stories covering the events that have come to pass. Yet there are a slew of unanswered questions, leaving the faculty and students of the DC in a whirlwind.

A contributing factor to the dismay of the community is the fact that the decision of the closing had been known for more than a year by the higher powers of our university.

Chronicling and making sense of the reasoning behind this decision has not come easy for anyone, most notably the faculty — the band of individuals thought to have all the answers — representing us up north in a single building along Route 23.

If history has taught us anything, it is that enrollment has only increased at OSUM’s DC since opening in 2001. This quarter, more than 800 students were enrolled at the DC and the courses on the master schedule have appropriately multiplied.

So one might ask why the branch is closing. In short, answers are not concrete — the end of the 10-year lease might be a reason that sparked it, or the “fact” (as presented by our mysterious university hierarchy) that the competition posed by the Columbus State Community College satellite campus down the road is projected to leave them in the dust.

When is it ever ethical to revoke a student’s choice of paying the higher-end in tuition for a better education without first providing time to consult with them? There are students that would rather not have a community college on their transcript.

The most emphatic of reasons for the closing is, as OSU President E. Gordon Gee stated in replies to the e-mails of concerned students, “a unique opportunity to collaborate (with CSCC) on course offerings to better serve those in area.”

Devoid of any competition in the area, enrollment at CSCC’s Delaware branch is likely to increase. OSU will surely prosper in this collegiate relationship, why all the worry? Right?

Well, it is proposed that OSU will be given five classrooms in the facility to teach only courses not already offered by CSCC, and if CSCC later summons the resources to offer a course OSU is teaching, the Buckeyes must abandon it to the Cougars.

I don’t think I’m going out on a limb to say the plan for OSU at CSCC’s branch is designed to ultimately fail.

Alternatively, imagine if the DC was just shut down without this proposed collaboration with CSCC? The kindling of opposition ignited within the community right now would more so be a fiery engulfment shedding light to the massive question mark tailing the ethics.

Is this simply an easier way to put down the unwanted family dog?

Questions are inevitably going to be more plentiful than answers in the shutting down of an educational institution that worked wonders for thousands of students in the past 10 years.

The most pressing issue is the collateral damage. Faculty and students now have little time to plan for their futures, especially the 11 percent of Somalian students (28 percent of the students enrolled are minorities according to Louis Hominga, the DC admissions officer).

The English department had created a program called NNW (Non-Native Writers), an approach that mixed non-natives with natives in English courses to help the minorities familiarize themselves with the academic culture. NNW has better prepared the Somalian student population for the remainder of their collegiate career.

Interviews with students that attended the DC such as Barqadle Alibarre, a third-year in biology, highlighted the mutual concern of current and future students being revoked the opportunity to receive the “one-on-one interaction” given by the English department.

The program will now cease to exist if the closing is finalized. Are the head honchos of our beloved university even aware of this? Do the underprepared not deserve a chance when they want to succeed?

Gee has a poster in his office with a quote that reads, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.”

Why is the student petition, engraved with hundreds of signatures, being treated as an irrelevance? Should it not be the duty of our university to hear the apprehensive student voices before finalizing such a decision?

Calls more than in one ear, out the other LANTERN Columnist

The last time I had an interminably drawn-out cellular chitchat with one of my closest friends, I found that upon setting down my phone, my right ear seemed to ring — the aftereffects of a prolonged phone session.

Imprudently, I hastily shrugged off this foreboding sensation and went about my day. Had I been more attuned to my body’s sensible warnings, I could have predicted that our bodies do indeed have a direct physical response to cell phone usage, as the researchers at the National Institutes of Health recently proved.

Using Samsung flip phones, which trendy techies would deem considerably passé phone models, these researchers tested the effects of cell phone exposure on the brain. The researchers linked the radio ANUSREE GARG frequency emitted by cell phones to a higher brain garg.30@osu.edu glucose metabolism and published their findings in the Feb. 23 volume of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

In their report, they said the 47 participants in the study had “significantly higher” brain metabolic activity only in the “region of the brain closest to the antenna.” However, their study fails to account for the varying antenna placement in cell phones. Since antenna placement in phones differs, model-specific studies might need to be conducted to determine if the degree of brain metabolic activity changes in response to the location of the antenna on the cellular device.

In the report’s conclusion, the NIH researchers said this study is currently of “unknown clinical significance.” Cell phone radiation has been found only to cause intensified brain activity and that too, only in specific regions — the area closest to where the phone was held. The actual meaning of this, in regards to our health, is still unclear. Higher brain metabolic activity does not immediately indicate detrimental health effects.

Though, personally, knowing that my brain activity is involuntarily altered because of my cell phone is a little unsettling. Perhaps the repercussions from this radiation cause only negligible health impacts, but until concrete evidence proves this negligibility, my worrisome ways have taken over. As one whose ear is permanently affixed to my cell phone, I have noticeably conserved more phone minutes after learning of this study. Although I have abstained from my usually garrulous gabber in favor of more succinct speech, there are possibly more effective ways to limit the physiological effects of cell phones.

For example, investing in a Bluetooth headset might do the trick. Business Week claims the radiation emitted from a headset is “far lower than even that from a cell phone.” Aside from the fact that a headset is a comparatively safer solution for the car than simply the cell, the headset allows your cell phone to be “positioned much farther from your body — and especially your brain — than when holding the phone up to your ear.”

Even in face of things, such as pollution, certain drugs and insufficient diets that cause more definite health impacts, the study of such a standard globally utilized device is worthwhile. While researchers further investigate cell phone safety and find more conclusive results, I expect the most cautious individuals will start easing off their cell phone use; presumably, this will be the most difficult practice to embrace, seeing that ceaseless texting and calling are de rigueur in our supremely connected generation.

Duck hunting: Hideous poses give new meaning to old game

I like ducks.

I really do. They’re cute, they quack and they’re fun to chase at the park.

But, I don’t want to look like one.

Apparently, many other females do.

You might not know it by name, but you know what I’m talking about. It’s the quintessential Facebook pose.

This popular pursed lip facial expression has plastered social media profile albums. And now, it officially has a name.

The duck face.

The duck face is often accompanied by a veteran tan, teased hair, seven layers of mascara and a freshly applied thick coat of the shiniest lip gloss Wal-Mart can offer.

And of course, my favorite part: the hand gesture.

4A

3. The subject is wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt that has been pulled up to expose her belly and hips. I’m sure this was by accident.

4. It is obvious the picture is a selfportrait. This can be tested by looking for the edge of an arm on the side of the photo.

Now ladies, I understand this pose makes your cheek bones look insane.

And yeah, it does take a few pounds off of your face, so I understand if a few make it on your account.

A few.

But when an entire album consists of the duck face, complete with bonus point characteristics, it’s time to find a new look.

Here’s one: I know it’s crazy, but just work with me, Smile.

There’s nothing wrong with some old-fashioned happiness in your pictures. And if you smile in your bathroom pictures, with your stomach exposed, I can even accept that.

Still feeling self-conscious? Invest in an LBD (aka little black dress). That’s what the rest of us have been doing for the last few decades.

But I don’t see this whole smiling trend taking off again anytime soon. So, for now I’m going to dig out the Zapper Gun from my Nintendo and do some duck hunting. I know just where to find some, too.

I’m going to start in the bathroom.

With March already here, the few days of sunshine (followed by rain, of course) have shown us that more spring weather is around the corner.

Walking from my anthropology class to the nearby library last week, I quickly realized that I subconsciously took the long way, enjoying the sunshine and warmth before having to study. If this is now, what will happen when it gets even warmer?

It’s expected that the hardest part of Spring Quarter will be focusing on schoolwork, and not the wonderful day surrounding us. In an attempt to help both myself and others with this problem, I’ve made a list of a few tips. Stick to them, and the next 10 RUBINA KAPIL weeks will be a tad bit easier to handle. kapil.5@osu.edu 1. Don’t avoid going outside. Avoiding the sunshine completely will only make it harder to stay away. Then when you do go outside, it’ll be for many more hours than it should. Instead, take a study break every 45 minutes and walk outside. This will also help with focusing again when you’re back in the library studying.

2. Use your time wisely during the week. If you can motivate yourself to study and finish all homework or projects during the week, your weekends will be free. This way, you can spend time outside all weekend guilt-free. So just make it through the week, and keep in mind that you will be able to enjoy being outside every weekend.

3. Don’t sit in the Oval. I’ll admit, the Oval is the perfect hot-spot for tanning, sports or even sleeping. But if you plan to get any studying done, it is not the place to go. The people will distract you, and your books will end up closed.

4. Plan ahead. You’ve already been given a preview of the weather to come. Now that you know what to expect, remind yourself as the weeks come that even though the weather is nice, this is still another quarter. The grades still count, and your grade point average will still be affected. This controlled mindset will make it easier to focus on your schoolwork.

It looks like “scissors” from a rock, paper, scissors game.

Ducks and scissors go together like peas and carrots.

It’s not difficult to duck hunt online.

The other night, a friend and I had a friendly competition on who could find the best duck face.

And by best, I mean worst.

There were many runner-ups. Some of my favorites include the duck face overachievers. These young ladies have taken their smooch so far, their teeth are showing between the under sides of their lips.

This expression looks more like horse face. But you’ve got to give them credit for going the extra step.

My friend definitely won. She discovered some pictures that were allegedly hacked from Miley Cyrus’ iPhone.

It seems that Miss Cyrus has perfected duck face. Still, she must have had to take a couple practice shots because there are quite a few.

Honorable mentions can be awarded in this game by receiving bonus points. One can be awarded bonus points by finding pictures with some of the following characteristics: 1. The photo was taken in a bathroom. This is especially valuable if there is a toilet, sink or towel rack in the background.

2. Multiples: the more people doing the duck face in the picture, the more points. You’ve got to love a flock of ducks.

Penn State 61

BEN AXELROD Senior Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu In their last meeting with Penn State, Ohio State freshmen Jared Sullinger and Aaron Craft shouldered the load in the Buckeyes’ win against the Nittany Lions, with both players leading No. 1 OSU in scoring with 19 points apiece. Tuesday night, with a share of the Big Ten title on the line, it was the upperclassmen’s turn to carry the Buckeyes past Penn State.

OSU senior guard Jon Diebler made a schoolrecord 10 3-point shots and scored 30 points, and junior guard William Buford scored 21 points for the Buckeyes, as they captured a share of their 19th Big Ten regular-season championship in program history with an 82-61 win at Penn State.

At one point, Diebler connected on nine consecutive 3-point shots en route to breaking the single-game school record.

“It seemed like the basket was an ocean,” Diebler said following the game. “The team did a great job of screening for me, and when someone feels good, that just shows you the unselfishness that we have.”

Diebler’s efforts surpassed the last OSU singlegame record for 3-pointers, previously shared by former OSU guard Jay Burson and Diebler, who made nine 3-pointers in the Buckeyes’ Dec. 15 win against Florida Gulf Coast.

Diebler also dished out five assists in the game, including one between his ninth and 10th 3-pointers, which led to a dunk from freshman forward Deshaun Thomas.

Five of Diebler’s 3-pointers came in the first half as he helped OSU jump out to a 33-18 lead into

Softball: Drake/Tulsa Tournament 5:45pm @ Tulsa, Okla.

The Ohio State women’s basketball team, the two-time defending Big Ten Tournament champion, is the No. 5 seed in this year’s conference tournament. No. 1-seed Michigan State, which earned the top spot for the first time in program history, has three losses in conference play.

Two of those losses came against the Buckeyes.

In other words, the 2011 Big Ten Tournament is up for grabs.

First-round games are set to begin on Thursday at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. When the tournament kicks off, the field will feature six Big Ten programs that had schedules among the top-50 strongest in the country, according to NCAA.org.

Buckeyes boast top women’s track and field honors TIM SHOEMAKER Lantern reporter shoemaker.153@osu.edu After the Ohio State women’s track and field team won the first Big Ten Indoor Championship in program history this weekend, the conference on Tuesday awarded several Buckeyes some of its most prestigious honors.

Ohio State junior Christina Manning and coach Karen Dennis were named Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year, respectively.

Dennis said Manning’s performance at the Big Ten Championships last weekend showed the caliber of athlete she is.

“She’s had an amazing season,” Dennis said. “She’s really proven herself to be an elite sprinter/hurdler, and I think the honor is well-deserved.”

Manning and fellow junior Madison McNary were voted first-team All-Big Ten. Junior Kelcey McKinney and seniors Alana Gray and Letecia Wright made second-team All-Big Ten. Dennis said the honors her Buckeyes received showed how well they work together to achieve a common goal.

Ohio State senior guard Jon Diebler and junior guard William Buford celebrate after Diebler sank a 3-pointer during the Buckeyes’ 82-61 victory against Penn State on Tuesday.

Versyp said even more teams could be selected for the NCAA Tournament.

“I think there’s at least seven teams that should go to the NCAA,” Versyp said. “It’s a very tough conference. Any given day, anything can happen.”

With its 80-47 win against Wisconsin on Sunday, OSU (19-9, 10-6 Big Ten) earned a firstround bye and a date with No. 4-seed Iowa (22-7, 10-6 Big Ten).

After the game, OSU coach Jim Foster said that despite OSU’s occasional struggles during the regular season, including two three-game losing streaks, it was always capable of finishing the season strongly.

“When everybody was in a panic, I thought we were still redeemable,” Foster said. “I’ve seen teams figure it out at different stages of the season.”

Should Foster’s Buckeyes beat Iowa to advance to the semifinals, they could face Michigan State (25-4, 13-3 Big Ten). OSU managed to sweep the season series against the Spartans with a 67-53 victory on Jan. 16 at home and a 54-53 win Thursday in East Lansing, Mich.

After Sunday’s win, senior center Jantel Lavender said it does not matter whom the Buckeyes play.

“We’re starting to show who we are,” she said.

“We have a really strong team. We don’t want (the season) to be over.”

Besides strong performances against the Spartans, the Buckeyes beat three of four squads seeded above them in the conference tournament. Foster said he is comfortable with his team ahead of what he hopes will be a “months”-long postseason.

“I think we’re in a very good place and we understand how we got here, which is more important,” Foster said. “We had to earn it.”

The subject of parity in this year’s Big Ten Tournament was discussed during the postgame press conference on Sunday.

Foster smiled and said, “It’s certainly going to be more interesting than it looked a few weeks ago.”

Men’s lacrosse pipeline in the making TIM SHOEMAKER Lantern reporter shoemaker.153@osu.edu Home is not very far for a trio of Ohio State men’s lacrosse players.

For senior midfielder Scott Lathrop, sophomore defenseman Mark Crawford and freshman defenseman John Hardesty, it is a short drive back to their hometown of Upper Arlington.

All three Buckeyes played high school lacrosse for Upper Arlington High School.

“Playing there gave me confidence. It gave me drive to continue the success here,” Lathrop said. “I know everybody always wants to win, but it’s nice coming from a program that had that kind of success.”

In the case of Upper Arlington, “success” might not be the right word.

“Dominance” might be more appropriate.

Upper Arlington coach Ted Wolford is entering his 18th season at the helm.

He has won 12 state championships as coach.

Wolford said the trio of Buckeyes are some of the most loyal kids he has coached.

“If you say to yourself, ‘If I were to go into battle, would I want one of those guys in your foxhole with you?’ You would say, without a doubt,” he said. “Any one of those guys would be people that would have your back, people that would be there to support you.”

Lathrop, a co-captain for the No. 14-ranked Buckeyes, also was a captain when he wore a Golden Bears uniform.

halftime. In the process, Diebler passed former Michigan guard Louis Bullock’s career mark of 340 3-pointers, a record that was later vacated by the NCAA when Bullock received improper benefits as an amateur.

In the second half, the Buckeyes didn’t let up, extending their lead to as many as 26 points against a team that was celebrating its Senior Night.

After scoring 15 points on 5-for-15 shooting in the Buckeyes’ and Nittany Lions’ first matchup, Penn State senior guard Talor Battle scored 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting Tuesday night. Battle’s effort wasn’t enough to close the gap on the Buckeyes, who have not lost to Penn State since Thad Matta took over the OSU program in 2004.

This year’s Big Ten Championship is Matta’s fourth in his seven years as OSU’s coach. Matta also coached the Buckeyes to Big Ten titles in 2006, 2007 and 2010.

With one game remaining in the regular season, OSU can win the conference title outright with either a Purdue loss to Iowa on Saturday, or by defeating Wisconsin at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Schottenstein Center.

person carrying this team,” Dennis said. “We knew in the beginning it would take a collective effort of everyone’s talents, and these awards are indicative of who we are as a team and what we wanted to accomplish together.”

OSU was able to capture the Big Ten Indoor Championships on Sunday in dominating fashion. The Buckeyes won the competition with a total of 122.50 points with Penn State coming in second, scoring 86 points.

At the championships, Manning captured a conference title in the 60-meter hurdles and had second-place finishes in the 60- and 200-meter dashes, en route to becoming Athlete of the

Championships.

Dennis said she’s proud to have been named Coach of the Year but that she could not have achieved it without some help.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by my peers, but I’m not the only one that should be recognized for this team doing so well,” Dennis said. “It’s wonderful. I’m humbled by it and I think it’s a wonderful thing, but at the same time I think there should be a staff recognition.

I think we should have a Big Ten Staff of the Year.”

Check back for coverage of the team in the NCAA Indoor Championship March 11-12.

“Scott was a captain for us, you know, as well as he is now for Ohio State,” Wolford said. “He was just always a very focused individual that worked very hard.”

Wolford said Crawford’s first choice was football and that he chose to play lacrosse late in his high school career. But, Wolford said, that didn’t change the type of character he had.

“He definitely had the strongest work ethic in his senior class,” Wolford said. “He’s definitely one of those kids that everybody looked up to because he pushed everybody to improve. There’s not an ounce of ego in him at all.”

Just a freshman for the Buckeyes, Hardesty was exposed to high-level competition early in his high school career. Like Lathrop, Hardesty also was a captain for Upper Arlington.

“Right from the get-go, he kept coming to us and asking how he could get better,” Wolford said. “He always pushed us as coaches to help him improve his game.”

The success of the Upper Arlington program has made it a hot spot for OSU recruiting. Wolford said he already has two players on his team this year who have committed to play for the Buckeyes in the future.

Although the three Buckeyes all are in different classes, they share a bond from their time as Golden Bears.

“I think the biggest part would just be having that person that you’ve known for two, three or four years in high school, and kind of having that connection already made and bringing it to college,” Crawford said.

Despite the three now playing lacrosse for the Buckeyes, Wolford said he still remains in contact with them.

“I always try to stick around after games and try to talk to them afterwards and see how they’re doing,” he said. “I want to let them know that I’m very proud of them; I’m very happy with the fact that they’re competing and that they’re doing well both in the classroom and in their athletic endeavors.”

OSU has started off the season with three consecutive victories against Detroit Mercy, Mercer and previously No. 3-ranked North Carolina.

While many of the OSU players come from all over the country, the trio has one advantage that not many other members of the team can say they have.

“We share a little bit, I think, because we’re always getting stuff for being so close to home and going home and getting homecooked meals,” Crawford said. “So we all have to stick together and stay strong.”

Ohio State returns to action against the Nittany Lions on Saturday at Penn State.

Artistic feats will rival athletic feats this weekend at The Arnold Sports Festival

Artists provide aesthetic appeal to athletic event

2B

Alex Hampel Lantern reporter hampel.11@osu.edu

The Lantern gives a listen to this week’s new releases

“Art at the Arnold,” a painting and drawing competition at the Arnold Sports Festival, will feature artists providing a more aesthetic look at professional athletes.

“We have put together a three-day art competition using athletes as models,” said event chairman Kevin Buckland. “It’s about the beauty of the athletic form.”

He said the art contest will consist of a figure painting session, an all-day studio session and a day for the art show and judging.

During the first day, artists will have access to three models that will pose for four hours. They are also encouraged to explore the 44 competitions and events at the Sports Festival, said Karen LaValley, an artist participating in the contest. The artists will compile sketches and photos of the events to use as a reference during the studio session.

“On Saturday (studio session) one model will also be available to pose for those who wish to paint again from a live model,” LaValley said. “Other participants may use their photographs to create their pieces from competition.”

This is the second year for “Art at the Arnold.”

“It was obvious that both the artists and the spectators enjoyed the display of talent in action,” Buckland said.

He added that former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger purchased a piece of art from the contest, “which added to the excitement.”

All work must be completed at the Arnold event, LaValley said.

“On Sunday the assigned juror will judge the submitted pieces of art and the winners will be announced,” she said.

This year Denny Griffith, president of the Columbus College of Art and Design, will judge the contest and choose the top three pieces.

All of the paintings and drawings will be for sale and cash prizes will be awarded to the top artists.

“Arnold himself will also view the works and may purchase some pieces,” LaValley said.

After he views the art show on Sunday, Schwarzenegger will select an “Arnold’s Choice Award” for the piece he enjoys the most, Buckland said.

Last year LaValley painted a “wild piece” of two female fitness athletes and a professional wrestler, she said. She is enthusiastic about participating again this year.

“I am looking forward to this event with excitement and hope,” she said. “We will see what happens. You know that old saying about ‘any given Sunday.’”

Film festival adds dimension to Arnold Vanessa Spates Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu In its first year of creation, the Arnold Sports Film Festival will showcase the talents of both high school students and international filmmakers at the 2011 Arnold Sports Festival this weekend.

“The inspiration and how it started was a film that was sent in to Jim Lorimer that showed the internal struggle of an athlete, asking why do they do what they do and how they do it,” said Jim Hern, film festival chairman. “What is the reward?”

Hern said that Lorimer, one of the co-founders of the Arnold Sports Festival, thought a film festival would be a great way to showcase stories of all the athletes.

Each short film is no more than 15 minutes and will tell the stories of athletes and show the struggles they go through.

“On the side of the athletes, there are plenty of stories to be told,” Hern said. “And for the

filmmakers’ side, there are a lot of stories for them to make into a film. Every story should be told.”

Film festival co-chair Amber Mikesell said they hoped to get many student filmmakers involved.

“This year primary marketing was targeted toward students in Ohio,” she said. “We do expect that the high school portion of the film festival will grow well beyond Ohio next year.”

High schools the student filmmakers come from include Dublin Scioto, Upper Arlington, Dublin Coffman and Gahanna Lincoln.

“The purpose for having a specific high school division is to work specifically with schools and students to assist in educating along the way,” Mikesell said.

Films were pre-screened to make sure they complied with the contest’s rules. Mikesell said they were then packaged for judging and given to an independent panel of industry experts and evaluated for four qualities: creativity, structure, quality and impact.

“Basically there’s a high school competition for U.S. students and then there’s a second competition

that’s open to anybody anywhere in the world,” said Aaron Azpiazu, project manager at Campus MovieFest. Campus MovieFest is working with the Arnold Sports Festival to put on the film festival.

Some other events at the festival include a screening of “Win Win,” a comedy starring Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan, about a lawyer who coaches a high school wrestling team. The movie is in between screenings at the Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest.

The international portion of the film contest will be shown Saturday.

Among the jurors is former Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will also present awards to the winners at the end of the film festival. Eddie George will be the award ceremony’s host.

“You have Schwarzenegger, the biggest athleteturn-movie star, and then you have (OSU Heisman winning running back) Eddie George who is encouraging people to do more than just one thing,” Hern said.

The prizes include visiting a Hollywood movie set with Schwarzenegger, among other things.

For Akron/Family, city of Columbus ‘equals psychedelic caffeine experiences’ Leah Wynalek Copy chief wynalek.3@osu.edu Akron/Family wrote its newest album in Japan while staying in a cabin built into the side of an active volcano, but now the band is back for a U.S. tour, including a stop at the Wexner Center for the Arts at 9 p.m. today.

“S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT,” which was released Feb. 8, is Akron/Family’s fifth LP. The group formed in 2002 and parted with one of its four members in 2007. For the new album, band members Dana Janssen, Seth Olinsky and Miles Seaton raided their old hard drive for sound samples they collected for their first record. The experimental group wanted to “reconnect with that initial spark of creativity that happened when we first started making music together,” Seaton said.

Akron/Family considered the new album a rebirth, literally. Seaton tried to explain the meaning behind the album’s lengthy title.

“We were like … we’re gonna give a total rebirth to this giant cosmic baby, and then somebody shouted out ‘Shinju TNT,’ and we’re like, what the hell is that?” Seaton said.

Shinju TNT became Akron/Family’s “musical child,” and the inspiration behind the album. The group even celebrated Shinju TNT’s birthday by spray painting a birthday sign for the stage at one of its concerts and playing a “total weird birthday song for like 45 minutes,” Seaton said.

The band’s previous album, “Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free,” was a literal and emotional album, Seaton said. He described “The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT” as more joyful and magical, what he called “psychedelic pop music.”

The songs feature sounds that the band members have collected

over the years, including a rainstorm recorded in Portland, Ore., lava from an exploding volcano and frogs in upstate New York that Seaton recorded at his girlfriend’s parents’ house. Akron/Family layers the sounds it records, which are stored in a “bank” to use during the recording process, Seaton said.

“Their songs are really different,” said Olivia Crandall, a second-year in marketing and international business who has listened to Akron/ Family since she was in high school. “Whether they (students) like basic indie things or if they’re more into folk or experimental or psychedelic, there’s probably going to be at least one song that you probably like.”

Seaton said Akron/Family doesn’t play standard concerts, but the shows it played in Japan were more spontaneous than anything the members had experienced before.

During one show, the audience took over the stage and knocked everything over. Seaton said he and his bandmates then threw balloon dolphins on the crowd and lit sparklers.

“Everybody freaked out. … People were taking these green plastic trash can buckets and putting them on their heads and banging them with sticks,” he said. “We were just so excited, and it was really beautiful.”

Despite the wild time in Japan, Akron/Family is excited to come back to Ohio, Seaton said.

“It’s always a great time playing in Ohio,” he said. “We played at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in 2009). People were just really warm and it was a great community event. I felt like it was really a point where I was like, ‘wow, Ohio — that’s great.’”

Akron/Family’s previous stops in Columbus include performances at the Wexner Center and Little Brother’s in 2007.

Erik Pepple, community outreach manager at the Wexner, said Akron/Family’s first show at the Wexner was sold-out.

“People were really eager to get them back here,” said Pepple.

Courtesy of akronfamily.com

The band Akron/Family (not actually from Akron) is scheduled to play tonight at The Wexner Center.

“They’re experimental but accessible, and just sort of the kind of thing you’re not gonna see anywhere else or hear anywhere else.”

Seaton said he was anticipating the Wexner concert because he liked the venue, but his strongest Columbus memory is not a musical one. When the band played at Little Brother’s, Seaton crossed the street for coffee at a Turkish hookah bar.

“I think he (the employee) dumped like three Turkish coffees in, and it was one of the most psychedelic caffeine experiences I’ve ever had,” Seaton said. “Columbus equals psychedelic caffeine experiences.”

Lucinda Williams has long gathered commendations for her songwriting, with Time magazine listing her as the best American songwriter in 2002. Probably as a result, Williams and her “alternative country” approach have not gained the popularity of their mainstream cohorts. The same will likely be the case for her new album, “Blessed.”

Not helping sales is Williams’ perpetual funk. Stereotypical country crooners occasionally record tracks about the death of their dog; Williams has apparently dealt with the deaths of many a metaphorical hound.

Williams modulates the tone of her unhappiness between sadness and anger, but the key is always minor.

This isn’t all bad; as mentioned before, she’s a great songwriter, and if she’s only comfortable penning depressing tracks, there’s no point forcing her hand. But it can start to drag late into the album.

The first track on the album is a delicious piece of spite, however. “Buttercup” comes from the viewpoint of a lover who’s been on the losing end of a bad relationship for far too long. Williams typically sings with

2B

“Blessed” lucinda Williams

a gently slurred twang, but she virtually spits vitriol during the track’s hook.

Williams almost breaches into optimism during “Born To Be Loved” when she tells the listener they “weren’t born to be forsaken, you were born to be loved.” But then again she reverses her viewpoint on “Ugly Truth,” when she flatly states “From the cradle to the grave, you will always be a slave.”

Ouch.

Her most popular single at the moment, “Kiss Like Your Kiss,” is also a track on the “True Blood” soundtrack. It’s equally as depressing as everything else, but Elvis Costello sounds a tad bit more upbeat as a vocalist in his guest spot.

Williams lives up to her normal standards of songwriting on the new album, but the tone can get tiresome. If she’s “Blessed,” she sure doesn’t sound like it.

Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu The Dropkick Murphys claim that their newest album, “Going Out In Style,” is a reflection on the life of a fictional Irish immigrant. Song titles such as “Cruel” and “The Hardest Mile” suggest that the character, Cornelius Larkin, had a tough go of it. The band turns the ominous titles into upbeat anthems, however.

The band’s approach is the same as it has always been: fast-paced punk with rousing, gang-vocal choruses that seem to be calls to drink, regardless of what the actual subject matter is. Not surprisingly, drinking is a popular topic. The title track and “The Irish Rover” are particularly booze-based, and would fit into the prototypical Bostonian soundtrack of “The Departed,” alongside its hit “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.”

The band’s Celtic influence is as present as ever, with bagpipes present in almost every track, along with mandolin to balance out the electric guitars. The band has a niche, and it’s in no hurry to leave it.

Guest stars add extra flair

“Going out In style” Dropkick murphys

to a couple of tracks. Fat Mike, of fellow punk stalwart NOFX, chips in vocals to the rowdy funeral that is the title track, and in one of the band’s more publicized moments, Bruce Springsteen lends his voice to the group’s cover of the “Peg O’ My Heart.”

The band deserves praise for its ability to lengthen songs without getting repetitive, a task that most punk bands bungle as they become more mainstream. The album features a couple of short and sweet tracks, “Peg O’ My Heart” and “Take ‘Em Down,” which clock in at 2:20 and 2:11, respectively.

Although the band’s tracks might be getting longer, its original message is still the same after seven albums: Take the good with the bad, but when you take the bad, wash it down with a pint.

“Wounded Rhymes” is Swedish vocalist’s Lykke Li’s second album, and unlike her raw, underdeveloped first album, it’s heavy on instrumentation, thumping back beats and angst.

On “Wounded Rhymes,” 24-year-old Li has grown up since her 2008 debut, “Youth Novels,” and her sampling of different sounds and straightforward, icy lyrics make that clear.

The tracks range in style from slow ‘60s-style ballads to more modern, dense psychedelic and electronic beats.

Li’s most danceable tracks, “Get Some,” “Rich Kid Blues” and “Youth Knows No Pain,” have a garage-band sound with heavy beats. “Youth Knows No Pain” is a fun youth anthem and is an appropriate opening track.

By track five, Li gets racy in the song “Get Some,” singing, “Like the shotgun need an outcome/ I’m your prostitute, you ‘gon get some.” Coming from the waifish blonde, the words sound insincere. The infectious melody saves the song from being over the top, however.

Where Li succeeds on the album is her love-torn tracks.

Her airy voice is better suited

“Wounded Rhymes” lykke li

to sweet-sounding ballads than angry rock. In “Sadness is a Blessing,” whose lyrics inspired the album’s title, Li makes a heartfelt cry of resignation, singing, “Sadness is a blessing/ sadness is a pearl/ sadness is my boyfriend.” In “Love Out of Lust,” Li incorporates echoes, whistling and a gentle pulse to achieve a spacey detachment that will lull the listener. The somber “Unrequited Love” sounds as though it should be playing from a record player. Its simple vocal harmonies, repetitive guitar chords and “shoo-wop-shoowa”s hearken back to the ‘60s and circle skirts, but somehow Li keeps the song fresh.

With the success Li found from her first album, she can expect even more from her second, as her “Wounded Rhymes” turned out to be more mature and musically diverse than her “Youth Novels.”
