Ohio State could lose more than $15 million in state and federal ÿnancial aid next year under budget proposals from Gov. John Kasich and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, said Diane Stemper, director of Student Financial Aid at OSU. “This year is exceptionally challenging,” she said. “Because Congress can’t get a budget passed, it just continues to make it uncertain for us.” The bulk of the cuts would come from a proposal by congressional republicans that would: eliminate summer Pell Grants and subsidies for graduate student loans; reduce the maximum annual award by $845, from $5,550 to $4,705; and reduce the number of students eligible to receive partial Pell Grants by 1.7 million. Stemper estimated those proposals could take $9.6 million from OSU students. Currently, 15,000 students on all OSU campuses receive a combined $55 million in Pell Grants, she said. The proposal, part of the Republicans’ initial

budget proposal in response to President Barack Obama’s budget proposal, passed the House by a vote of 235-189, with three Republicans joining all Democrats against it. It then stalled in the Senate. In his budget, Obama proposed eliminating summer Pell Grants and graduate student loan subsidies, but maintaining the maximum award at $5,550. According to the Ofÿce of Enrollment Services, 2,380 students currently receive about $3.4 million in year-round Pell Grants. Stemper said Kasich’s budget proposal would cut funding for state-based ÿnancial aid to OSU by about $5.5 million, including 5 percent reductions each in the Ohio College Opportunity Grant, or OCOG, and the War Orphans Scholarship. OCOG provides money to Ohio residents demonstrating the highest levels of need based on FAFSA results, according to the Ohio Board of Regents. The Ofÿce of Enrollment said 120 OSU students currently receive the War Orphans Scholarship, which covers 80 percent of tuition and fees for children of deceased or permanently disabled veterans. The governor’s budget does, however, increase the National Guard Scholarship Program, which

covers full tuition at main campuses at public universities, and partial tuition at private universities, for members of the Ohio National Guard, by $2 million, or 13.4 percent. Kasich also proposed doubling the amount of vouchers to help parents pay for their children to attend private K-12 schools. Lucas Kamholz, an undecided ÿrst-year, said they had to get the money from somewhere. “But it’s not really fair to take money from students,” Kamholz said. Even with a 3.5 percent tuition increase – the maximum allowed in Kasich’s budget proposal – the ÿnancial aid department is still likely to lose millions in funding. Stemper said her eyes are on the Pell Grants because cuts there would affect more students than at the state level. “I’ve never seen the Pell Grants this uncertain at this stage in the game,” she said. Because incoming freshman have until May 1 to formally enroll in the university, Stemper said the department had to get the ÿnancial reward letters out despite the funding uncertainty.

Union dropped balloons, $8,600 for party THOMAS BRADLEY Senior Lantern reporter bradley.321@osu.edu

Ohio Union anniversary party costs add up

The Ohio Union’s birthday party last week attracted thousands of attendees, offered various desserts, featured a group hug of the building and cost $8,613.22, said David Wiseley, associate director of business services at the Ohio Union. One of the main events for the day, a countdown to the ofÿcial one-year anniversary, featured a replica cake of the Union and a balloon drop. The cake, purchased from a local baker, the Suisse Shop, cost $2,790, roughly one-third of the total budget. Cake was handed out to students throughout the day after it was cut for the countdown. Tracy Stuck, director of the Ohio Union, said past anniversaries of the Union have been marked with a replica cake. She said they decided to continue the tradition. “(The replica) cake was the most costly part of the event, and the student guests overwhelmingly appreciated the treat,” Stuck said in an email to The Lantern. Emilie Duncan, an event planner in Worthington, said the price the Union staff paid for the cake is relatively normal. “A custom sculpted cake, like the one they had, generally runs around that price,” Duncan said. The Union staff also spent $625 on cupcakes for the event. Stuck said they made 1,500 cupcakes in the Ohio Catering Kitchen. Duncan said cupcake vendors generally charge $2-$4 per cupcake. The fact that they were able to get 1,500 cupcakes for that price, she said, was an “unbelievable deal.” Adding the cost of the cake, the cost of the cupcakes and a budget for catering the rock, paper, scissors tournament, the total food expense for the event was $4,221.38. Rose Buoni, a second-year in English, said she thought the whole event was over the top. “I found out about the party about a month beforehand, and I wasn’t interested from the start,” Buoni said. “I felt like it was only a big deal to the

Wexner reappointed to Board of Trustees JAMI JURICH Managing editor for content jurich.4@osu.edu Gov. John Kasich reappointed Leslie Wexner as the chairman of the Ohio State University Board of Trustees Tuesday, Kasich’s spokesman Rob Nichols conÿrmed to The Lantern. Wexner’s current term was scheduled to end on May 13. Wexner was appointed to the Board of Trustees in December 2005. He previously served on the board from 1988-1997 and served as chairman of the board from 1996-1997, according to the Board of Trustees website. Wexner, who founded Limited Brands, also serves as the chairman and CEO of the company, which includes Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works and C.O. Bigelow. On Feb. 16, Wexner and Limited Brands announced a $100 million donation to OSU, the largest philanthropic gift in OSU history, said Tom Katzenmeyer, senior vice president of university communications. Shelly Hoffman, assistant vice president for media relations at OSU, said Wexner’s gift will be spread out across a nine-year period, to be completed in 2020, with $20 million being donated this year. Wexner and his wife, Abigail, personally donated $65 million of the total donation, Hoffman said. The remaining $35 million of the donation is from the Limited Brands Foundation. Spokespeople for the Limited Brands and OSU did not immediately return requests for comment Tuesday evening regarding Wexner’s reappointment.

campus MCAT, GRE could be prepped for change LAUREN MRUK Lantern reporter mruk.3@osu.edu While students prep for the Medical College Admissions Test, the MCAT is prepping for changes. Proposed changes to the MCAT might mean a longer exam and a doubling of the prerequisites for pre-med students. The Association of American Medical Colleges has proposed a revised medical school admissions exam that would go into effect in 2015. The new test would omit the current writing sample, add psychology and sociology concepts, more advanced sciences and an additional 90 minutes. “Although we are calling them recommendations, we feel pretty good that these recommendations are going to mirror very closely what the ÿnal outcome will be,” said Amjed Saffarini, executive director of Pre-Health programs for Kaplan Test Prep. The ÿnal vote will be taken in February. Although this change will not affect most current pre-med students, it might affect current college freshmen. Saffarini said changes were proposed to address the issues that physicians face in the workforce, new material that doctors need to know and to ÿgure out what works on the current exam. A major change the AAMC has proposed is to get rid of the writing sample.

Sydney Agnello, a fourth-year in biology, took the MCAT last April. “Removing the writing sample is a great idea since most medical schools don’t even look at or consider a students’ writing scores,” Agnello said. In addition to taking out a section, they have added another: behavioral and social sciences principles. “You go into a doctor’s ofÿce and you see the crowded wait room and they have a very short time to meet with patients, so communication skills become very important. Social skills become very important,” Saffarini said. “Empathy, compassion — these are the skills you want to see in your doctors.” This section, worth 15 points, making the total exam out of 60 points instead of 45, is how the AAMC is assessing students on these attributes. According to a March 31 Kaplan press release, advanced sciences, including cellular/molecular biology, biochemistry, research methods, statistics and expanded critical thinking will also be added. “It is impossible to learn all of the science in medical school, so we have to bring that science from medical school down into your undergraduate instruction,” Saffarini said. These changes will almost double the amount of prerequisites required for pre-med students. Alex Cherry, a fourth-year in biochemistry, said a major concern will be the lesser variation among majors that enter into medical school. “As it is now, two years of prerequisites are all you need and students can easily choose any major they want and ÿt that schedule,”

Cherry said. “If a third year of various psychology, biochemistry and molecular biology classes are needed, then there is not much time to complete any non-science degree or a double major.” Saffarini said with the addition of a section and more material, the test will be longer, just more than seven hours compared to the current 5 1/2. “I feel like seven hours is really extreme for a time length,” Agnello said. “Five hours already seemed pretty long.” If the changes are accepted in February, it will immediately impact how the schools treat the curriculum and the requirements for being a pre-med student will be more robust, Saffarini said. Russell Schaffer, senior communications manager for Kaplan, said this will greatly affect OSU students because OSU is one of the biggest sources of medical school applicants of any college in the country, with 334 applicants in 2010. “If you examine the changes themselves, you’ll see, you could call it a mixed blessing, but it’s really a beneÿt to students,” Saffarini said. Revisions have also been made to other entrance exams. Students taking the GRE will also experience changes this year as a revised test is being introduced on August 1. According to a March 22 press release from Educational Testing Service, changes to the GRE include new question types, navigation features and an on-screen calculator.

Mike Dean, a 2nd-year in mechanical engineering (left), and Sean Ewing, a 4th-year in electrical and computer engineering, pose with last year’s electric bike. Dean and Ewing are members of the Buckeye Electric Motorcycle Race Team. Ewing is a co-founder and team leader.

Motorcycle racing team gets set to go on test runs at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course EMILY TARA Lantern reporter tara.3@osu.edu On your mark, get set, go! The Buckeye Electric Motorcycle Racing Team has been busy at the Center for Automotive Research putting the ÿnishing touches on its electric racing motorcycle. But before the ÿrst race, they are pairing with the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for several test runs. “We’re a race track and a driving school in Lexington, Ohio, outside of Mansÿeld,” said Jesse Ghiorzi, media and communications coordinator at the Mid-Ohio School. “Since 2006, we’ve had a motorcycle school for performance track racing.” The motorcycle school at Mid-Ohio is for more advanced riders who already have a motorcycle license, Ghiorzi said. There are three skill levels of riders; novice, intermediate and advanced. A rider must have ridden at least four days at Mid-Ohio’s track or another professional track in the past year to be considered past the novice level, he said. Ghiorzi was at CAR to promote sustainability and green racing with the American Le Mans race series, which was based on the French style of racing. While at CAR, Ghiorzi met Sean Ewing, co-founder and team leader for BEMRT. “We started with a bike and tore it up,” said Ewing, a fourthyear in electrical and computer engineering. “AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) helped us out and got us a frame. They were a huge help,” Ewing said. The team, which was founded about six months ago, has collected about $150,000 in

donated items and cash, according to Ewing. “One of the reasons racing is so important to the general public that doesn’t care about it, is that that is where technology gets tested. Stuff gets tested on the race track, then you’ll see it in production,” Ghiorzi said. Ewing said the bike itself is pure electric and after a full two-hour charge, it should go about 37.4 miles. Top speeds will not be reported until further testing is completed. “You can only go as fast as your batteries allow,” said Mike Dean, head of the communications branch of BEMRT and a second-year in mechanical engineering. Ewig said they use lithium polymer batteries, which, according to Apple, pack in a higher power density than nickel-based

batteries, providing longer battery life. The team meets Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. and hopes to compete in the Isle of Man-TTZero race in late May, the North American TTXGP (Time Trial Extreme Grand Prix) and the FIM E-Power circuit, Dean said. “The team ranges, we take everyone. If someone has the drive, we get them involved,” Dean said. BEMRT will be testing their race bike at Mid-Ohio’s race track this month. “In Ohio, we get a lot of power from coal; a lot of proÿts go overseas. I want electric to take off because it’ll keep money here, in the USA and Ohio,” Ewing said. “I think the new American muscle will be the electric motor.”

Any college student who has transferred from one university to the next knows what a headache it can be with the burden of transfer credits – or lack thereof – that follow. The “Sorry, that doesn’t fulÿll the requirement” response is the last thing a student wants to hear. But Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee and Columbus State Community College President David Harrison made an announcement Tuesday about a new academic partnership. This afÿliation, known as the Preferred Pathway Program, will guarantee qualiÿed students transferring from CSCC to OSU a quicker bachelor’s degree with more opportunities. The plan was arranged by each school’s Board of Trustees. They devised a joint contract that redeÿnes collaborative coursework and extracurricular activities between both colleges. It consists of six sections that redeÿne coursework and overall services to accommodate students. Section 1 of the contract states that qualiÿed students with an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from CSCC are “guaranteed admission to The Ohio State University, consistent w/ university policy.” David Wayne, media relations coordinator for CSCC, clariÿed that this doesn’t ensure every CSCC student admission to OSU. He said that ÿrst, students must meet all requirements, particularly GPA pertaining to their speciÿc major at CSCC. Only then are they guaranteed admission to OSU. After this admission, they must either initially meet or strive to meet the GPA requirements for their desired major at OSU.

But Wayne said both schools have shared advising services to assist students with class choices between the 80 different majors between both colleges. “This puts students into a direct pathway to show them exactly which path to take from A to B,” Wayne said. The student body at CSCC is 30,000, including all branch campuses and online. Wayne said for this reason, he appreciated the harmony between both schools. “I think students will welcome this opportunity to get on the right track, (to go) directly from Columbus State to OSU,” he said. For some students, this opportunity did not arise in time. Jason Menendez, a fourth-year business marketing major, has taken classes at OSU and CSCC simultaneously since his second year. He said he wished the two colleges would have joined together sooner, as some of his hard work has gone to waste. “I’ve taken accounting classes that should’ve transferred,” Menendez said. “I still have to get permission and prove that I took them.” Regardless of the college’s decision, Menendez said he has lost a year’s worth of credit and must begin a ÿfth year at OSU. He said he has witnessed countless students suffer the same consequences. But for others, the headache is over. Both Gee and Harrison ÿnalized the Preferred Pathway Program Tuesday during a news conference at the Columbus State Conference Center. Both colleges’ board of trustees must still vote on the agreement to implement it, but it is expected to begin in September. OSU’s board of trustees are scheduled to meet Thursday and Friday.

Pell Grant fast facts Pell Grants according to proposed budgets: • • • • •

The Republican budget plan calls for a $5.7 billion cut. The cut decreases the maximum amount per student per year from $5,550 to $4,705. Students who currently receive smaller grants, about 1.7 million students, become ineligible. Under this plan, the state would lose $215M in Pell Grants. Obama’s budget plan calls for a $10 billion cut. This cut maintains the $5,550 level, but eliminates summer Pell Grants and subsidies for graduate student loans. In Ohio, 356,000 students are eligible for Pell Grants. In the current academic year, 2,380 Ohio State students had year-round Pell Grants. The average loss per student is $1,425, giving a total loss of $3.39M.

How it will affect Ohio State: • • • • •

OSU students could lose approximately $5.5 million in state grant funds. Almost 15,000 students at OSU are currently receiving Pell Grants. OSU students received $55 million in Pell Grants this academic year. On March 30, the university sent award notices to 16,000 admitted students for the next academic year. The total aid awarded for next year is approximately $168 million.

Kasich spokesman said state-based aid cuts were necessary department mailed ÿnancial award notices to 16,000 students, offering about $168 million in ÿnancial aid, Stemper said. Those letters did not include any state-based funding or summer Pell Grants. Two years ago, Stemper said the department issued award letters including state aid based on the amounts in former Gov. Ted Strickland’s budget proposal. The funding didn’t make it through the General Assembly, however, and OSU had to replace the money with $5 million from the university. “We decided to be conservative this time and not put it in until we know for sure,” she said. The state legislature has until June 30 to pass next year’s budget. The department did, however, base Pell Grant awards on the current $5,550 maximum. It did not include summer Pell Grants. “If the federal or the state government changes anything, then we would have no choice but to go back and edit that award,” she said. Whether that will happen is unclear. U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Columbus, voted for the Republicans’ budget stripping more than $5.7 billion in funding from the Pell Grant program. But in an emailed statement, Stivers vowed to stop cuts to the program. “While many programs will be cut, I will work hard to maintain the current level of Pell Grant funding,” he said. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said in an email that the country is at “a ÿscal crossroads.” “We can either take meaningful steps to stop the out-of-control spending that’s impeding economic growth and threatening American competitiveness or we can maintain the status quo that Democrats are

Union party did not use student fee to cover its costs people who worked at the Union or had a hand in building it; $9,000 is too much for me.” Stuck said Union operating funds – money which is earned from room rentals and other activities – covered costs for the event. She said the student fee did not go toward the cost of the party. Tim Stakolich, a second-year in communication, said he thought the party was justiÿed. “I feel like it was a big deal and since it was the ÿrst birthday of such a big building, the party was appropriate,” Stakolich said.

calling for and follow in the footsteps of countries like Greece,” Portman said. Ohio’s other senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown, said the Republicans’ plan would eliminate Pell Grants from more than 58,000 Ohio students, and cuts in education would hurt the still-fragile economy. “Education and economic development go handin-hand, which is why I refuse to let the budget be balanced on the backs of college students,” Brown said in an email. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the cuts in state-based aid were necessary to balance the budget. “The decisions we make aren’t necessarily re° ective of our priorities,” he said. “You have to remember, the governor walked into ofÿce staring down both barrels of an $8-billion-deÿcit gun.” The General Assembly will have to pass Kasich’s budget by June 30. With Congressional lawmakers in Washington locked in a debate that could result in a government shut-down if a budget is not passed by Friday, it’s unclear just how big a cut the Pell Grant program could take. Democrats have vowed to maintain funding for the Pell Grants, and most republicans are holding ÿrm in their desire to cut the program. The politicians might be worried about cutting spending, but Stemper has her own worries. “We worry about the students,” Stemper said. “We want to make them aware what ÿnancial aid is available to them so they can make good decisions based on what they can afford.” Students are worried, too. Dan Reilly, a second-year in aerospace engineering, said he understands the need to reduce the deÿcit, but it’s not fair to punish students. “I’m already broke,” Reilly said. “It makes more sense to raise taxes on the rich than to make students pay more.”

One aspect of the day was geared toward promoting the Union through photos and videos. The Union staff hired two photographers from University Marketing Communications to cover the event for about seven hours; the budget for photographers was $1,570. Duncan said for many of the events she plans, which include weddings, she generally hires two photographers. Duncan said hiring two photographers for that long can sometimes cost $4,000. Allison Fetzer, a second-year in middle childhood education, was not aware of the event beforehand, and was not happy with how the money was spent. “It was a waste of money,” Fetzer said. “It’s frustrating that money went into little things instead of cutting the cost of our education.” Sam Osterling and Kristen Mitchell contributed to this story.

Sky is the limit for muscular dystrophy charity group DANIELLE HIXENBAUGH Lantern reporter hixenbaugh.9@osu.edu Ryan Ballou, 23, and his family are making strides to ÿnd a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the disease that has plagued Ballou since age ÿve. DMD is a disease that attacks the muscles of the body, making them ineffective and eventually leading to death. DMD affects boys, although girls can carry the gene, and those af° icted generally do not live past their late teens or early adulthood, according to kidshealth.org. Ballou and his family began a charity called Ballou Skies to raise awareness for DMD in hopes of prolonging his life and eventually ÿnding a cure. “We volunteered at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and wanted to do more, so four or ÿve years ago my dad had the idea of Ballou Skies charity,” Ballou said. BallouSkies donates 100 percent of its proceeds to Ohio State researchers.

Wednesday April 6, 2011

“We heard about the research OSU was doing with MRI technology to scan the heart to try to prolong the lives of people affected with Muscular Dystrophy. We thought the research was too important to pass up,” Ballou said. The money Ballou Skies raised aids the researchers in their experimental endeavors. “They (the drugs tested) are used for end-stage heart failure and, when tested on the mice, have helped improve all muscle functions in the mice,” said Jill Rafael-Fortney, one of two researchers performing these experiments to ÿnd treatments and cures for MD. Ballou Skies has raised roughly $27,000 in the past year to donate to the research at OSU, Ballou said. “It paid for the research and all research takes money,” Rafael-Fortney said. To raise awareness and research funds, the charity sells its all-natural peanut butter and its triathlon team competes in the Ballou Skies uniform. Jeremy Cornman, 31, is in his 12th season of triathlons since 2000. He began competing for the Ballou Skies team

in summer 2009 when Ty Ballou, Ryan’s father and a fellow tri-athlete, approached him about representing Ballou Skies, Cornman said. “I think of Ryan and use him as inspiration when things get tough and it’s nice to be able to give back and use tris as a platform to do that,” Cornman said. Triathlons can represent not only a physical pursuit that those affected by MD cannot pursue, but also a sel° ess act when competing under Ballou Skies. “It can be a selÿsh pursuit, but it’s nice to put the sel° ess component into it by raising awareness and it’s deÿnitely a good feeling,” Cornman said. Although monetary donations have slowed, Ryan said the triathlon team has continued to gain interest. “The triathlon team started with four or ÿve athletes and we have about 15 now,” Ryan said. Ballou Skies has bigger goals in mind for the future. “It’s kind of cool now in the last year-and-a-half of involvement and how it is growing exponentially,” Cornman said. “We want to make it nationally recognized.”

Nothing speciÿcally new is in the works for this year, Ryan said, but they are always open to new ideas. “We are going to be as creative as possible this year. Great things have happened and will continue to happen,” Cornman said. Although the Ballous live in Pennsylvania, they want Ballou Skies to have a following coast to coast. “Our main focus is to get more people involved anywhere across the country and gain more awareness (for MD),” Ryan said.

student voice Waitresses know more than you think I have been asked to do some ridiculous things throughout my career. Note: All of these are true. About a year ago, one woman asked me to pick the potatoes out of her vegetable soup before serving it to her. “They’re too starchy,” she explained. “Here’s a spoon and an extra bowl,” I countered. A few months ago a table waved me down, explaining that their child spilled a drink. Normally, this would ANDREA CHAFFIN not be a problem; I would simply chaffin.47@osu.edu hoist a mop into the dining room. What made it amazing was the fact that the Mountain Dew puddle was under the table, between their legs. I actually got on my hands and knees, crawled under the table and wiped up their child’s mess while they all leaned over and watched, still sitting in their chairs. Who allows their 2-year-old 16 ounces of Mountain Dew, anyway? Apparently, the same people who have the definitions of “waitress” and “slave” confused. A few years ago, a local Ohio congressman began dining fairly regularly at the restaurant. As a political science major, I was excited to see him. I had received a letter from his office a few months prior to our meeting, congratulating my recent accomplishment of being named to the Dean’s List. I will exclude his name for professional purposes. When he came up to the window to pay for his meal, I decided to break

I have many names. My given name is Andrea, in high school I was “Andi,” in college I became “Andee,” for professional purposes I’m referred to as “Miss Chaffin” (which is almost always pronounced incorrectly) and for 30 hours a week I’m known as, “Excuse me ma’am.” That’s right. Like many college students, I pay for my textbooks by transforming into a member of the customer service industry after classes. I’ve been a waitress for more than four years. To be frank, I’m pretty darn good at it. The logistics of the job certainly aren’t difficult: take an order, refill a drink, deliver food, etc. But anyone who has ever worked as a server knows that there is much more to the job. If I simply covered the basics, I’d be going home with 10 percent every night, and that won’t pay for this textbook on foreign policy. Instead, I kiss butt. It’s really helped with my people skills. The restaurant is located in my hometown, where the phrase, “everybody knows everybody” is not a cliché. I would bet that at least half of my customers are regulars. I know their names. I know their children’s names. I’ve seen pictures of their pets. I know their job title. The same can be said about their knowledge of my personal life. So, when I greet a table, it’s usually, “Hey, how are you?” instead of, “My name’s Andrea and I’ll be your server today.” I have a friendly relationship with the majority of the customers. But, of course, there are always exceptions. There are some customers, usually the white-collar lunch crowd, who assume I am a white-trash, baby on my hip, NASCAR-loving, poverty-stricken, lowly member of society. Of course, they make all of these assumptions based on the fact that I am their waitress. Let’s make one thing clear: Yes, I am your waitress. No, I am not your personal slave for the next 45 minutes.

the ice. I explained to him that it was a pleasure to meet him, we shared political interests and that I appreciated the letter his office sent, adding that I had an interest in possibly entering the political field one day. As he pushed my tip toward me – $1.78 for a $25 meal – he looked into my face and said something I’ll never forget. “That’s nice.” He walked away, leaving me feeling like the scum of the Earth, a lowly waitress. Whenever I see him kissing babies, shaking hands at the local high school’s football game or in the midst of a campaign announcing his caring for the people of Madison County, two words always escape my mouth: that’s nice. Last week brought on a whole new level of making me feel unworthy. An older male asked my name while I was taking his family’s order. After revealing mine, I did what I always do. I asked his name. He looked at me with shocked eyes, as if thinking, “how dare she ask my name, this ordinary girl.” After gathering himself for a moment, he finally answered in a narcissistic tone that he was a doctor. I didn’t ask your profession, buddy, but I get that you’re better than me. In nine short weeks, my career as a waitress will be over. I start my “real” job in mid-June. It’s true that every person should be required to wait tables during their life. It changes the way one behaves in a restaurant. Oh, and one more mandatory action. Everyone should watch “Waiting.” Don’t these people know that you should never mess with someone who handles your food? Just kidding, I’ve never actually messed with a plate, despite temptation. Instead, I choose to write about these people. But, what do I know about writing anyway? I’m just a waitress.

Not everyone having ‘fun, fun, fun, fun’ on Friday, Friday LANTERN Columnist

As I spent the past few hours attempting to get a bit of studying done, I decided to take a quick break and browse through a few YouTube videos. To my dismay, the first — and almost only — subject I see is by, and about, Rebecca Black’s video “Friday.” With more than 85 million views, I couldn’t help but watch it to see what the hype is about. And then, I couldn’t help but wish I didn’t. I’m not going to lie, I don’t like this song. The lyrics don’t have any purpose, its similarity to a Justin Bieber song is uncanny and Rebecca Black’s voice is autotuned like none other. But, I’m not going to be one of the many people who are bashing this girl, who’s only 13 years old. RUBINA KAPIL I’ll admit that I am a little confused as to where she kapil.5@osu.edu randomly appeared from. But after all, she’s doing what we all wish we could. She’s using a song that’s similar to one that is already a hit, Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” and becoming a worldwide phenomenon. She’s working toward her dream, and is most likely making millions already just from her interviews. Here I am, the college kid trying to make enough money for the coming weeks. I don’t like the song, but I definitely don’t have the right to bash. Also, even though the song isn’t the best, and it most likely will not be on the radio anytime soon, I have to admit that it is catchy. The tune is like many commercial advertisements that get stuck in your head. As hard as you might try, you just can’t get rid of it. After some research on tvguide.com, I discovered that Black was only given two song choices by her agency to record: one about superheroes and one about Friday. If we think about this, we realize that it actually makes sense that she chose the song “Friday.” She did not have input in the song choice overall, so we can’t blame her. Watching her defend herself while being interviewed by multiple news stations, I can’t help but feel bad for her. All she’s trying to do is follow her dream and people seem to only point out the negative. For being so young, she has a decent voice and is capable of getting somewhere with some hard work. With her own song choices in the future, we could see some major improvement. I think it’s time to put away our anger and jealousy, and support her goal. Despite the fact that she’s found herself a path towards stardom, and I support that, I can’t help but wonder – does this song really need to be that popular? Because I’d like to enjoy my Fridays, not spend them standing at an OSU bus stop listening to women in their 40s singing about the days of the week. Sorry Rebecca, good strategy, but we not so excited.

University shouldn’t censor original thought China’s most prestigious academic institution, Peking University, announced plans in a press release late last month for a new program to screen students on 10 fronts. Some of these included signs of “psychological fragility”, “eccentricity”, “poverty”, poor academic performance, and “radical thoughts.” In each of these cases the university would provide consultations to the troubled students. The most contested among these supposed student problems is the screening of “radical thoughts.” Zhang Qianfan, a professor of law at Peking University, disagrees with the new policy, calling it “a mistake.” He further elaborates, “once the university decides to stifle its traditional atmosphere of openness, the victim who will suffer the most will be the university itself.” Zha Jing, the deputy director of the Office of Student Affairs, defended the program, saying its intention is to “extend a helping hand” to students. He said he believed too much attention was given to the word “radical.” However, Peking students and professors take issue with “radical thought.” Peking University, the Harvard of China, has a long history with unorthodox thought. Students’ radical thought in the 1910s spurred the New Culture Movement when scholars and students rose against traditional Confucian teachings. Radical thought amongst the youth fueled the Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s. Most recently, students’ radical thought, their desire for democratic reform, instigated the protests that culminated in the Tiananmen Square massacre. It is no wonder that Time Magazine dubbed Peking University as “the cradle of political agitation in China.” In response to the Tiananmen protests, the Communist Party initiated the Student Informant System (SIS) at major universities, employing students to dutifully spy on professors and peer students who have “politically subversive or unconventional views,” according to a CIA document 6. Despite the fact that student spying can be extremely subjective, if an informant catches even a telling facial expression of another student, the student culprit can be faced with serious academic consequences. In recent years, the SIS has been implemented in smaller universities, technical schools and high schools. Although Peking University’s consultation service for radical thought is relatively trivial, its implications are far more serious. Radical thought can be politically motivated, and in

an attempt to stymie all of these thoughts, progressive and reformist thought can be swept into the university’s same censoring dustpan. This past week Chinese authorities detained Ai Weiwei, an internationally recognized artist and known government detractor. He represents the Chinese crackdown on dissidents and rights activists of ANUSREE GARG recent weeks. Noticgarg.30@osu.edu ing the pro-democracy protests that took hold in the Middle East, Chinese authorities have an escalating fear of government criticism. In essence, Tiananmen Square can be viewed as the two-decade-old precursor to the Middle East protests of today — the youth protested for democratic reform and their efforts were thwarted, violently. In the context of the current global climate, this blight on student freedom is indicative of the same governmental fear. Yet, even in the face of this crackdown, it is important not to look at China through a myopic lens. China has been on an upward trajectory for the past 10 years; the standard of living is improving and the education system perhaps exceeds our own. My concern is that political freedom is not guaranteed with economic satisfaction. Stamping out radical thought eerily reminds me of thoughtcrime — the Orwellian notion of punishment for unorthodox thought. As a university student of another world, I believe dissenting thought is the glory of college classrooms. The unconventional thinker solitarily braves the tide of concurring class convictions. If nothing more than a devil’s advocate, the classroom radical goads students to think more deeply and eventually, more progressively. This is the kind of thought to be encouraged not repressed.

Last month, Dan Savage, a sex advice columnist from The Stranger in Seattle, and his husband released It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living. This book of essays is inspired by their It Gets Better project, which features Youtube videos by celebrities (including Adam Lambert, Barack Obama, Tim Gunn and the cast members of several Broadway musicals) and average people telling lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender teens that life gets better after high school. This project, which includes hundreds of thousands of videos with millions of views, was inspired by the rash of LGBT teen suicides last year. Savage and his partner wanted to give LGBT kids DOROTHY POWELL (who are up to four times as likely to attempt suicide, powell.447@osu.edu according to a 2007 Massachusetts Youth Risk Survey) hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As a straight woman, I cannot tell LGBT teens that life gets better. I can’t say that because I have no idea what it’s like to be an LGBT teen. I wasn’t bullied growing up, but nine out of 10 LGBT teens are, according to a survey conducted by GLSEN in 2009. For me, high school was four years of boring classes, mediocre lunch food and bending the dress code. For thousands of teens across the country, high school is four years of constant torment – not only at school, but sometimes at home. Having never been in the shoes of an LGBT teen, it seems condescending for me to tell teens that life will get better – how can I possibly know? But what I can say is this: there is a whole big world out there, filled with those of us who not only accept your sexual orientation, but are actively fighting to spread acceptance. It breaks my heart that so many children feel the closed-mindedness and bigotry they experience in high school is how the whole world functions, and they feel so desperate to stop it that they take their own lives. But what really boggles my mind is the fact that the tormentors have learned their hatred from somewhere. Kids are sponges and most, especially through high school, tend to parrot their parents’ beliefs. I am dumbfounded that there are parents teaching their children such intense hatred that these children will then relentlessly pick on their peers and can ultimately drive them to suicide. There is so much hate in this world already. Shouldn’t we be teaching our children, if not love for our neighbors, then at the bare minimum acceptance? High school is hard enough as it is: it’s the time when the majority of us start to develop the most basic sense of who we are. Imagine what it would be like to discover who you are, only to be rejected and tortured by your peers. We can stop this. We can teach our children that hate will not change anything. We can teach our children that basic human kindness can, in this case especially, save a life. No person ever deserves to be bullied, but especially not those who are just beginning to live their lives.

Now all eyes are on the NBA The careers of recent graduates Jon Diebler, Dallas Lauderdale and David Lighty have come to a close. How will their future chapters be scripted? michael peria tt Lantern reporter periatt.1@osu.edu David Lighty, Jon Diebler and Dallas Lauderdale saw their college careers end abruptly when Ohio State lost to Kentucky, 62-60, in the fourth round of the NCAA Tournament on March 25. While the loss wrapped up their time on the college court, none of them want it to be the final chapter of their basketball career. In fact, they all have their sights set on the same thing: the NBA.

None of the three former Buckeyes is projected to go very high in the draft, but they all bring something to the table they say they hope can be utilized in the NBA. Diebler said his shooting ability is what gives him a chance and that he hopes his potency from long range will translate well to the pros. He set the men’s Big Ten record for career 3-pointers, finishing with 374. “I think every team could use a shooter to stretch the floor,” Diebler said. “Being a specialist is kind of what they’ve labeled me as, someone who can make shots. I think that’s something I could offer a team at the next level.”

At 6-foot-6, Diebler has the prototypical height to play in the NBA, but few mock drafts show Diebler being selected. Draftexpress.com ranks Diebler No. 87 among its Top 100 Prospects. Diebler said if the NBA doesn’t work out, he’d like to play overseas. Lauderdale said he has the same mindset. Some saw it as surprising when Lauderdale shared his NBA aspirations, but he said the NBA has always been his dream. “That’s my goal,” Lauderdale said.

Rumor has it: Boals might be on the move mike y oung Senior Lantern reporter young.1408@osu.edu The rumors around Ohio State men’s basketball assistant coach Jeff Boals continue to swirl, and recent speculation pegs him as the leading candidate for the Fresno State opening. Boals, 38, has been an assistant on coach Thad Matta’s staff since the 2009–10 season. Reports connecting Boals to the openings at Dayton, Kent State and Fresno State surfaced after OSU was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament on March 25. Fresno State athletic department spokesman Paul Ladwig did not comment on specific candidates for the opening. “The Fresno State search for a new head men’s basketball coach is moving forward, and nearing the conclusion of the process,” Ladwig wrote in an email to The Lantern on Monday . “We have

never created a time or day to have this process complete. We have a great pool of finalists and (are) looking forward to the next era of Bulldog basketball to begin.” Boals did not return multiple phone calls seeking comment. The Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday that Boals Jeff Boals had not yet been offered the Fresno State job, but he will be in Fresno, Calif., today. “If he does leave, we’ll miss him a lot,” former Buckeye Eddie Days said. “He’s only been here two years, but he established himself as a great coach and a great asset to the team.” Fresno State athletic director Thomas Boeh, a part of the search committee, held the same position at Ohio University from 1995–05. Boals

was an assistant with the Bobcats from 1995–96, and played basketball at the school from 1991–95. Former Fresno State coach Steve Cleveland was reassigned as an athletic department administrator on March 17. Under his new contract he will likely assist in the school’s move to the Mountain West conference in fall 2012. In his six seasons with the Bulldogs, Cleveland recorded a 92-98 campaign. Dayton named former Arizona assistant Archie Miller head coach Sunday. Neither OSU nor Kent State could not be reached for comment. In February, Boals told The Lantern he hoped to be a head coach one day. “I haven’t thought about it, as far as when it’s going to happen, but that’s my ultimate goal, to be a Division I head coach,” Boals said. “Obviously, I feel like I’m in a great situation at Ohio State, and it would have to be a really special situation for me to leave here.”

Monday night’s national championship game looked a lot like a Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. I saw Butler’s Ronald Nored do his best Brian Urlacher imitation as he delivered a crushing blow to prevent UConn’s Kemba Walker from sprinting into the open court. I saw Butler shoot 18.8 percent from the field. I saw the two teams combine for 94 points, nine short of the 103 UNLV scored in the 1990 title game by itself. But in the end we all watched the “little guys” from Butler, who lost a heartbreaker in last year’s final to Duke, fall to the supposed Goliath for a second consecutive year. And before the book closes on this college basketball season, who can

forget VCU’s darling run from the First Four to the Final Four? Or how about the fact that no No. 1 or No. 2 seed made it to the Final Four? This particular tournament showcased college basketball at its best. It’s a place where parity reigns supreme and in turn supplies hoops fans with incredibly exciting basketball. I think not. First of all, the term “little guys” doesn’t apply to Butler anymore. It’s reached two straight title games. But why has Butler been able to reach the game’s final act two seasons running? Because there’s no such thing as a “mid-major” anymore. The lines in college basketball have been blurred. The well has run dry on great teams because the talent gap

between players isn’t as large as it used to be. Kansas coach Bill Self said it best following his team’s loss to VCU in the Elite Eight: “Because seeds are so overrated, it’s about matchups. If we played shirts and skins today you wouldn’t have much of a difference on players or how they look.” Self is absolutely right. Players that go to BCS conference schools have the advantage of going to programs with long histories of success, top-notch facilities and, most importantly, national television exposure. How many times was VCU on national television before the NCAA Tournament? Only five times. Kansas could top that figure in a 10-day

Lighty projected to be 2nd-round draft pick At 6-foot-8, 255 pounds, Lauderdale is undersized for a post player in the NBA, but said he hopes to make up for it with his exceptionally long wingspan. Lauderdale was mostly a defensive specialist for the Buckeyes throughout his career, but NBA scouts say they worry about his offensive skill set and lack of dominance on the boards. “The biggest concern when evaluating Lauderdale as a prospect are his underwhelming rebounding numbers,” college basketball scout Walker Beeken said on Draftexpress.com. “As a player with his lack of polish offensively, (Lauderdale) has to be a top-notch rebounder in order to find a niche at the NBA level.” But Lauderdale has a plan if he doesn’t make it in the NBA. “I would go to Europe,” he said. “I have no problem seeing the world.” Lighty probably has the best chance of making it in the NBA. Many mock drafts project Lighty as a second-round selection. His defense and finishing ability have drawn praise among talent evaluators, and coach Thad Matta said throughout the year that Lighty is exceptional defensively. “I’ve been saying it for four years: He’s the best defender in college basketball,” Matta said in a press conference before a game against Michigan on Jan. 12. “I think he’s the national defender of the year, and he’s been that way ever since the day he guarded Jeff Green as a freshman in the Final Four.” Lighty did not return multiple phone calls for comment, but he said on Twitter that he’s ready for the future. “The next 3 months will be the biggest and craziest months of my life... I’m ready for the challenge tho,” Lighty said Monday on his personal Twitter account. Lighty, Diebler and Lauderdale are in the preliminary steps of preparing for the draft. Diebler said the three of them took a week off to rest their bodies following the loss to Kentucky, but now are in the process of picking agents and working out in Columbus. “We’re starting to work out again and get back in shape,” Diebler said. “We’ll just let the process develop.”

Upsets and Cinderellas cease to exist period. Yet, through a combination of favorable matchups, hot shooting and an indiscernible talent gap, VCU beat KU like it stole something. So what does all of this mean? College basketball is thoroughly mediocre. Blame kids for falling in love with the 3-point line instead of being able to hit a 16-footer. Blame the NBA’s age limit, which has weakened the NCAA’s top-tier programs. Or blame Michael Jordan, whose game-winning shot in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals has led college basketball (and NBA) teams to believe that isolation is not only a reliable halfcourt offense, but the best end-ofgame play call. There’s no such thing as an upset in college basketball anymore. The ranking and seeding systems say otherwise, but until something is done to mend college basketball’s mediocrity, Cinderellas cease to exist and the days of great teams are gone.

Renowned Jewish artist to lead exhibit

CHELSEA CASTLE Lantern reporter castle.121@osu.edu The man who claims he cannot be processed with a normal brain is performing in Columbus tonight. Charlie Sheen will take the stage at the Palace Theatre at 8 p.m. as part of his tour, “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option Show.” Sheen was booed off the stage during the first stop of his tour in Detroit on Saturday night. The show ended early and left many fans disgruntled, ABC News reported. The second show of his tour,

in Chicago Sunday night, went differently. The show seemingly ran better, as Sheen blamed the bombing of his first show on the audience, and was re-organized to include an interview format, according to ABC News. Some students are choosing not to attend because of Sheen’s past. “I won’t go to the show,” said Sarah Scisson, a first-year in environmental policy. “I kind of think it’s a waste of time to listen to a reformed drug addict.” After public scandals and being fired from the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” Sheen’s behavior captured media attention. His tour is “where you’ll hear the real story,” Sheen tweeted.

Mike Davis, an undecided first-year, said he would go, but the tickets were overpriced. “I think he’s funny, but he’s crazy,” Davis said. “I’d go if it was like $5.” Yasmine Jackson, a first-year in zoology, said the tour provides a format for Sheen to publicly display his reform. “If this is going to be beneficial to helping him out in the long run, then let him do his thing,” Jackson said. Sheen’s publicist declined comment. Ticket prices range from $47 to $77 and are still available at Ticketmaster.com. A special meet-and-greet package is also available for $575.

Natalie Portman (far left), Danny McBride (middle left), James Franco (middle right) and Zooey Deschanel (far right) appear in the film ‘Your Highness,’ opening Friday.

Star-studded cast gets ‘High’ ALEX ANTONETZ Arts editor antonetz.3@osu.edu He’s tackled baseball and stoners, and now he’s about to step into the same company as “Lord of the Rings” and “Monty Python.” Danny McBride stars in “Your Highness,” a fantasy comedy, also starring James Franco, Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel, opening this Friday. McBride plays Thadeous, a prince who spent his childhood in the shadow of his perfect older brother, Fabious (Franco). When their kingdom comes under

attack, the brothers, joined by the warrior Isabel (Portman), must try to save it and rescue Fabious’ fiancée, Belladonna (Deschanel), as well. McBride and director David Gordon Green spoke with The Lantern about the film. Inspiration for the film stemmed from McBride’s childhood film favorites. “When I was a kid, I grew up watching a lot of those crazy sorcery fantasy movies in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s,” he said. “I thought it would be a cool genre to explore with a hard R sort of take.” Fantasy films weren’t the only inspiration for “Your Highness.” McBride also looked at comedic takes

on the fantasy genre, including the cult favorite, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” However, McBride said he wanted to avoid the “low-budget” feel of the Monty Python classic and give “Your Highness” the full-blown Hollywood treatment. “To us, the joke would be if we could make this movie feel as much like it was not lo-fi, but it was like a big spectacle, a big Hollywood, visual effects movie,” he said. “So for us, that was the angle we took.” McBride and longtime-collaborator Green came up with the concept for the film in 2001. “The idea almost came up as a joke,” McBride said. “We were just

Spring - Local, Live & Loud 6 p.m. @ Newport Music Hall

coming up with ideas for movies that would be nuts to see. The fact that we ended up on a set in Belfast actually getting ready to bring it to life always tripped David and I out.” Though “Your Highness” is a comedy, Green didn’t want to cast strictly comedians. Instead, Green cast a variety of actors, from Oscar-winning Portman to accomplished British stage actors. “I wanted to cast people who were great actors first and had a great sense of humor,” Green said. Filmmakers also attempted to create an authentic fantasy feel, despite the silliness in the film.

Rema Webb (left), Andrew Rannells (middle) and Josh Gad (right) appear in the musical, ‘The Book of Mormon.’

The hottest ticket on Broadway right now is likely “The Book of Mormon,” the debut Broadway musical from the creators of “South Park,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Notorious for their raunchy, envelope-pushing sensibilities, one could imagine that a musical by them about Mormons might cross a line — or two.

In fact, it does have a handful of outrageous moments, but surprisingly, it’s overall one of the most unabashedly, old-fashioned Broadway musical comedies I’ve seen. And I mean that in the best way; it’s silly, side-splitting fun with a real heart. The show has been so popular I had to wait in line for three hours in the pouring rain to even snag a ticket to stand in the back for the show’s final preview performance before the next day’s opening night.

arts&life Lantern CD Reviews Latest album makes you wish ‘Undead’ were dead

Long tracks, lack of finesse ‘Kills’ fourth go

Latest from Raveonettes melancholy but suffices

“We don’t apologize and that’s just the way it is. But we can harmonize, even if we sound like s---.” Hey, they said it, not me. This line, from Hollywood Undead’s song “Apologize,” is followed by a vague threat made towards those who dare criticize the group’s message. I am going to risk my personal safety to tell you that “American Tragedy” is the worst album that’s hit the market this year. The rap-rock genre was never exactly a favorite among critics, but Hollywood Undead manages to take it to even lower depths. I did not wake up this morning expecting to put Limp Bizkit on a pedestal compared to another band, but here we are. Part of the nausea I felt while listening to this album was caused by the group’s faux gangsta persona that it tries to sell the listener. It demonstrates how in-touch it is with the hip-hop culture by rapping of listening to Sisqó’s “Thong Song,” it demonstrates its gangsta style by referring to wearing two Bluetooth headsets at one time and it demonstrates just how tough it is by threatening to “hit you in the d---.”

“American Tragedy” Hollywood Undead

Tupac is rolling over listening to the group talk about what it means to be a gangster in Los Angeles. “Been to Hell,” the group’s single about how hardcore LA is, gets some credit merely for having audible instruments. According to the band’s website, three of the members actually play an instrument, a two to one member-to-instrument ratio. The only way this album could get any credit is if it becomes a cult-classic thanks to its badness, like Syfy channel movies or “The Room.” But until the Newport hosts monthly listening parties where “fans” dress in the band’s signature (and stupid) masks, this album is an out and out bomb.

The Kills come into its fourth studio album, “Blood Pressures,” with potential to smash down the walls keeping them out of mainstream popularity. Vocalist Alison Mosshart got her name out by joining Jack White’s super group, The Dead Weather, and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Hince, while not doing anything relevant musically, got engaged to supermodel Kate Moss. They were already critical darlings (2008’s “Midnight Boom” was this reviewer’s album of the year), but can they come through with the spotlight on them? Kind of. “Pressures” is a significant step away from what made “Boom” a success. The latter was a collection of short, catchy numbers while the new album heads in a more traditional rock direction, with most tracks surpassing four minutes in length and guitars at the forefront of the instrumental approach. This will work to draw in new fans,but it will be disappointing to the groups stalwart fans. As a duo, the Mosshart and Hince can only handle so many instruments. Therefore,

“Blood Pressures” The Kills

Mosshart’s use of her sneering, sultry voice to express the group’s attitude was essential. It just doesn’t happen enough on “Blood Pressures.” “Baby Says” and “Future Starts Slow” ditch the expected devil-maycare attitude the band was known for, and “Last Goodbye” doesn’t sound even mildly sarcastic in its sappy approach. Hince’s focus on the guitar isn’t all that bad. Mosshart’s voice sounds great matched up with his bluesy guitar riffs on tracks like “DNA.” Hince deserves instrumental credit for his percussion work on “Heart is A Beating Drum. Even when the bluesy approach works, the songs are still too long to keep the listener hooked. The Kills is more of a Joe Frazier than a Muhammad Ali: generally, it excels in quick matches with constant action, rather than using finesse for more drawn-out bouts.

album finds it in its most pessimistic position to date. Sad doesn’t mean bad, however. “Apparitions” uses echoes and a mildly eerie keyboard to keep things just as catchy as they are creepy. The same goes for “Forget That You’re Young.” Other tracks are less efficient. “War in Heaven” is OK musically but the simple lyrics are meaningless aside from sounding dark, and “Summer Moon” is just boring. Distortion still plays a major role on the album, but it’s been toned down from past work. On the group’s acclaimed 2007 “Lust Lust Lust,” the group would sometimes veer into painful bursts of white noise. The group limits itself here, but unfortunately that means that it occasionally loses the ethereal quality that albums like “Lust” had in copious amounts.

The Raveonettes are perhaps the least distinctly pop band on the planet. Much of their work would have fit in perfectly during the early ‘60s, had the group not distorted it in every way possible. Tracks like “My Time’s Up” on the group’s new album, “Raven in The Grave,” resemble some of the Beach Boys’ more experimental work, except with everything fizzling and crackling like a 40-year-old LP. The band’s two long-term members, Danes Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo share vocals on every track, creating a male-female harmony that adds to the feeling of early-pop nostalgia. One thing setting the group apart from its popular predecessors is the constant gloomy mood. The dark imagery on the album cover and the morose title hint at what to expect lyrically. Although Edgar Allen Poe isn’t consciously referenced aside from “The Raven,” he would be proud with the depressing state of affairs in the group’s prose. Tracks like “Forget That You’re Young” and “Evil Seeds” rival even The Cure for most melancholy melodies. The Raveonettes have never been a happy band per se, but this

arts&life Book from 1B

Music, acting make ‘Book of Mormon’ a favorite at next Tony Awards seeing the performance, I knew that the show was completely ready to open and surprise everyone with how amazing it is. Following two chipper Mormons (and, as the show gleefully asserts, they’re all chipper), Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, as they prepare to set out on their Mormon Mission, a rite of passage for young Mormon men, the show has a basic comedic structure. Price, tall and successful, and Cunningham, stocky and inept, are as different as possible. And yet, they are stuck together to spread the word about the title text to the people of Uganda, where they are sent on their mission. The show is essentially one laugh after another. While the story might be a bit run-of-the-mill for something so ultimately cutting-edge, the dialogue itself is quite often riotously funny. Parker and Stone, who collaborated here with Robert Lopez (who gained theatrical fame for another brilliantly raunchy musical: “Avenue Q”) and director-choreographer Casey Nicholaw, manage to craft a crowd-pleaser of a show that will be appealing to a wide spectrum of potential audience members. Fans of “South Park” will appreciate the group’s signature scathing humor on full display here, fans of big Broadway spectacles will love the many exciting production numbers and discerning theatregoers will be drawn to the show’s effortless wit and ability

to give a nod to the great musicals of old, while still seeming fresh and vibrant. The show’s music (which, along with the story, was written by Stone, Parker and Lopez) is some of the best on the Broadway stage right now. The group’s ability to combine a jaunty, hummable melody with biting, hilarious lyrics brings the show to hysterical life as soon as a character starts singing. Many of the best songs have titles that can’t be printed in a newspaper, but with others such as “I Am Africa” (sung by the Mormons), “Salt Lake City” (or, as performed by Nikki M. James as Nabalungi, “Sal Tlay Ka Siti”) or especially the hilarious parody of a scene from “The King and I,” “Joseph Smith American Moses”, the show soars musically. The cast is uniformly excellent. As the two central Mormons, Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad are comic perfection. James, an optimistic and sweet Ugandan, has a lovely singing voice and gives the production a jolt of bright energy each time she’s onstage. Rory O’Malley in a small but scene-stealing role as another of the Mormons, has a funny number in each act. Even the ensemble is one of the strongest I’ve seen on Broadway in years. The direction, by Parker and Nicholaw, is sharp and excellently paced and is aided by Nicholaw’s outstanding choreography. To be sure, this is one of the most thrilling theatrical efforts of late. Nothing about it feels like a first try. It really stands a good chance of winning a fistful of Tony Awards in a few months. The show plays like Parker and Stone have been writing Broadway musicals for years. And, with how much of a sheer delight it turned out to be, here’s hoping they have more on the way soon. The Book of Mormon is playing at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in New York, NY.

Danny McBride (left) and James Franco (right) appear in the film ‘Your Highness,’ which opens Friday.

Highness from 1B

McBride, director approached ‘Your Highness’ seriously, say sequel will premiere at OSU Green and McBride shot on location in rainy Belfast, Ireland, to help capture that. “I think in our approach we never approached it as if it were a comedy,” McBride said. “We always approached it as if it were a serious film, and to us, the more serious we took it, the funnier it became.” Eventful.com hosted a competition to bring the world premiere of the film to a college campus.

The University of California Santa Barbara received the most votes online and won the chance to have the premiere on their campus, while the next seven runners-up won a free advanced screening of the film. Ohio State did not place in the top eight. Despite poor turnout by Buckeyes, Green remains optimistic about OSU. “You guys are so committed to contributing to our box office that we really respect that, so because of that, we’re gonna bring the sequel to your campus,” he said.
