Some Ohio State students, staff and faculty and members of the Columbus community circled the center of the Oval Tuesday to mourn in silence the death of Trayvon Martin and demand an arrest and fair trial for his killer, George Zimmerman.

The protest, which was organized by OSU Stand Your Ground, was part of the national movement, National Day of Justice for Trayvon Martin.

Martin was a 17-year-old African-American killed by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman while walking home from a convenience store Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman followed Martin home and telephoned police with concerns of a suspicious-looking teen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. After an alleged altercation, Zimmerman killed Martin, telling police it was an act of self-defense.

The protest coincided with what had been the day a Florida grand jury would begin deliberations on whether to arrest Zimmerman for Martin’s murder, though the decision now rests with State Attorney Angela Corey, according to CNN reports.

The protest began at exactly 2:26 p.m. to symbolize the month and day when Martin was killed. The protest lasted 44 minutes to represent the number of days that have passed since any formal arrest has been made, said Dawn Miles, an organizer of the event and a Ph.D. candidate in history.

What began as a circle of about 70 people slowly grew to a crowd of about 140 people, locking their arms in solidarity. The movement began and ended in silence, with time in between for people to share their comments.

KRISTEN MITCHELL Senior Lantern reporter mitchell.935@osu.edu If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Undergraduate Student Government President Nick Messenger and Vice President Emily DeDonato should be flattered.

In the peak of USG campaigning, several candidates are finding success through clever, and seemingly unique marketing strategies, an approach that some say is based off the success of the Nick and Emily USG campaign last year.

With images of the Nickelodeon logo altered to fit Nick and Emily’s names, the duo dominated at the polls, capturing 3,899 votes — 2,000 more than their nearest competitor.

On election day, that image seemed to resonate with voters. After winning the election by so much, Messenger said he isn’t surprised that their campaign was imitated this year.

“Most years we see campaigns repeated,” Messenger said. “You repeat the strategies that work, and the Nick and Emily Campaign worked.”

Messenger said the key is to find campaign elements that people will remember.

“We see a lot of branding that aims at college kids,” he said. “The Nickelodeon thing could only be successful

USG campaigns draw students to the Oval for giveaways from candidates, but ultimately, marketing strategies could play a role in who wins the election. with a group of kids who grew up in the ‘90s.”

The 2012 Kyle and Nick Campaign plays on childhood memories of Legos to portray their message of “Building the Buckeye Community.”

The campaign is that of presidential candidate Kyle Strickland, a third-year in political science, and vice presidential candidate Nick Parker, a fourthyear in political science and sociology.

However, Strickland said popular marketing isn’t enough to win voters. “(Nick and Emily) had a really

catchy campaign and imagery, but ultimately what it really comes down to is what your campaign is all about,” Strickland said. “We could just come out with a Lego theme or a Nickelodeon theme and be done with it, or we can come out, talk to student organizations, talk about what we have to do. Because it’s not just about having a flashy campaign, it’s about having ideas, too.”

Other candidates have attached their message to a popular brand as well.

The 2012 Travis and Danielle Campaign uses the North Face logo to convey their slogan and desire to be “The New Face” of USG. They chose North Face because of its prominence on campus.

“People will see it as something very iconic at Ohio State, so relatable,” said Travis Skaggs, presidential candidate and second-year in economics.

Skaggs said he and vice presidential candidate Danielle Meyer, a third-year in political science, made a conscious decision not to include their names in their campaign logo.

“If we wanted a logo with just our names in it, we would have used Taco Bell,” Skaggs said. “[The North Face logo] didn’t fit our names, but it fit our idea, and our idea is bigger than our names.”

Despite opting to not include their names in their logo, Skaggs said the Nick and Emily Campaign was “a good model to follow.”

The 2012 Niraj and Nikki Campaign, better known as “Nikki Niraj,” is a play on the name of the popular rapper Nicki Minaj, a strategy that Nikki Brown, vice presidential candidate and third-year in political science, called risky.

“We had a lot of ideas before the Nicki Minaj thing. We weren’t sure if people would get it,” Brown said.

HANNAH TRATE Lantern reporter trate.1@osu.edu After what Ohio State officials deemed a hate crime last week, many eyes looked to OSU and the vandalism that occurred here, including George Zimmerman himself.

Thursday morning, the words “Long Live Zimmerman” were found painted on the wall of Hale Hall, which is home to the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The reference, officials said, is most likely to Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch leader who allegedly killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense Feb. 26 in Florida.

“Let me be very clear, this is not who we are at Ohio State. Racism will not be tolerated on our campus,” President E. Gordon Gee said in response to the Hale Hall vandalism.

The vandalism, which launched responses such as the OSU Stand Your Ground movement, the Ohio Union sit-in and a hate crime warning from the administration, propelled OSU into the limelight last weekend.

National news crews covered the story, and with the help of Facebook and Twitter, images of the vandalism on Hale Hall went viral.

“The act of vandalism was an attack not on one group of students, but the university as a whole.

THOMAS BRADLEY / Campus editor; a screenshot from therealgeorgezimmerman.com

George Zimmerman, who killed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, started a website seeking monetary support.

At one point, a photo of the Hale Hall vandalism was featured on the website.

The messages sent through that graffiti go against everything that Ohio State represents — equality, education and inclusion,” said Brian Derrick, a firstyear in microbiology and Undergraduate Student Government student intern.

But Zimmerman used the image to send a

different message when he launched therealgeorgezimmerman.com on April 9. The site at one time featured a large image of the Hale Hall vandalism. The site and its content has been frequently changing.

Bright yellow chalk, catch-phrase T-shirts and campaign cries are three trending topics each April at Ohio State. With Undergraduate Student Government elections taking place Thursday and Friday, candidates are passing out their logos, ideas and aspirations in hope of a vote.

“You only see them for two weeks and then you don’t see them,” said Allison French, a second-year in public affairs and world politics. “You just know it is USG time when there is chalk on the floor and you are handed a T-shirt.”

Only four pairs of candidates are fighting for the votes of more than 42,000 undergraduate students enrolled at OSU’s main campus.

With 7,583 OSU undergraduate votes cast in the 2010 presidential election and 7,588 votes in 2011 presidential election, the candidates said they hope this year has a high voter turn out.

presidential candidate Kevin Arndt, a third-year in public affairs and political science, said he would like to see at least 8,500 vote in the upcoming election.

“I feel like it starts off whoever knows the most people,” said Ashley Wright, a third-year in sexuality studies. “It’s almost like who can come up with the better slogan and cutest T-shirt.”

This year’s candidates took on slogans based on name play, popular logos and childhood connections.

“I find the slogans humorous and for the most part, catchy. But that shouldn’t be the point,” French said. “I mean, I will take the freebies, but it doesn’t sway my vote.”

Wright said she would be more apt to care if USG had more of a presence on campus, other than two weeks in the spring.

“I think it is important to have USG, but I wish it was actually advertised more so that students were more aware and better informed,” Wright said.

While some students are certain that free items will not alter their vote, others find it to be quite the incentive.

“If I happened to be at the place of voting at the moment it was taking place then I would vote for the

The OSU Athletic Department announced it will be investing $7 million in renovations to the scoreboard in Ohio Stadium. The project is expected to finish early August.

Ohio Stadium to receive new $7M HD scoreboard ANDY EVANS Lantern reporter evans.403@osu.edu Watching a game in Ohio Stadium is truly an event to be a part of, and with 105,000 seats the only guaranteed view can sometimes be on the scoreboard. For the upcoming 2012 football season, the hard hits, goal-line stands and touchdown catches will be seen in high definition at every home game.

The university is planning a $7 million renovation to the current scoreboard, which is 11 years old.

The project is slated to begin April 23 and will be completed in early August. The current scoreboard is 90 feet by 30 feet, but is not HD.

The new model will include a Panasonic HD screen, stretching 124 feet by 42 feet, and incorporate upgrades to the audio system and the LED running boards. Running boards are the smaller screens underneath the larger screen that usually display score updates and advertisements.

A Pro Sound audio system with 25 different speakers will flank the scoreboard. Older speakers throughout the Horseshoe will also receive improvements and will be replaced by new speakers fitted into the existing framework.

In comparison, the University of Texas’s scoreboard trumps all college football scoreboards, measuring in at 134 feet by 55 feet. The Dallas Cowboys “Guinness Book of World Records”setting screen sits at 160 feet by 72 feet.

While the great health care debate rages in Washington, D.C., there is at least one group at risk of being forgotten, according to a speaker that visited Ohio State’s campus: legal immigrants to the United States.

Randy Capps of the Migration Policy Institute lead a discussion on immigration and health care reform Tuesday at OSU’s Townshend Hall, highlighting the fact that current policy, which bars many legal immigrants from participation in Medicaid, leaves large numbers of people uninsured.

The event, which took place from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., attracted about 30 people to a presentation that was split between a half-hour lecture and half-hour discussion.

A main interest to the crowd was a 1996 act that prevents lawful permanent residents from participating in Medicaid. According to the law, one must be a resident for five years in order to be eligible for health care.

“They could and should remove this five-year bar,” Capps said. “These are immigrants who’ve got a green card and who were allowed to come in with the blessing of the U.S. government.”

Capps said of the 12 million legal permanent residents in the U.S., about 37 percent were uninsured in 2007. This leaves a large and expensive

burden on the health care system when these people have to go to the emergency room to receive any type of care, Capps said.

Some members of the crowd questioned Capps extensively on the effects of the considered employer and individual mandates; requirements that all Americans, and many businesses, purchase health insurance. Capps said if these mandates are not implemented, the effect might be detrimental to many low-income immigrants whose places of work do not provide health care.

“Legal immigrants are lower income and less likely to already have health insurance,” Capps said. “The expansion of Medicaid is a big deal, and the individual mandate is a big deal, because they are less likely to have coverage because they can’t afford it.”

Student reactions to the debate were varied and strongly opinionated, but some also gave credence to Capps’ speech.

“Obviously something needs to happen. There needs to be a change,” said David Ellsworth, a first-year master’s student in public health. “I think it would benefit society if immigrants could be considered in these pools because the new system relies on more people being included in these pools, and this would be a good way to include people.”

The issue of whether or not to extend Medicaid coverage to even documented immigrants, however, was recognized as a difficult political and logistical issue.

Oval from 1A “This looks absolutely beautiful right now,” said Martez Smith, a third-year in social work and sexuality and publicist for OSU Stand Your Ground. “That despite race or gender … we stand united.”

James Hayes, a fourth-year in political science, said as an African-American male, he was just as at-risk as Martin was, the moment he put on his hooded sweatshirt before the protest.

“People are trying to tell us this is not a race thing … they’re attempting to mask the truth,” Hayes said. “(This is) someone assuming someone’s a criminal because of how he looks and how he’s dressed.”

Smith said the protest attempted to bring awareness to the need for diversity and social justice on campus and on a larger scale, though ignorance, hate and racism have been obstacles in achieving it.

“The images that have been used on a national scale (the spray-painting on Hale Hall) I think make Ohio State look bad … but that’s not what we’re about,” Smith said.

Adwoa Asante, a fourth-year in philosophy, said the Stand Your Ground movement started with the death of Martin but addresses a broader problem.

“It’s about all these people that lose their lives for hate,” Asante said. “We need to remember that we are all connected … we are all united in humanity.”

OSU students have responded to the alleged hate crime of Martin’s death, as well as other hate crimes, with a number of protests, rallies and sit-ins, including the “Hoodies Up” protest for social justice at Hale Hall March 30, the rally against hate crimes on the Oval April 4 and the Friday sit-in at the Union to demand that a hate crime alert be issued

“We wanted to do something that people would recognize.”

Brown said she and her running mate, presidential candidate Niraj Antani, a third-year in political science, chose the theme because it was attentiongrabbing, and because they wanted to use the “Be the voice” slogan.

Unlike the Travis and Danielle Campaign, Antani and Brown wanted to use their names in their logo, based off the success of the Nick and Emily Campaign a year prior.

Only one campaign steered away from a branded theme, choosing an OSU-centered logo and marketing platform instead. The Taylor and Kevin Campaign chose their look to reflect their “Buckeye state of mind” slogan.

Despite working with marketing for the Nick and Emily Campaign last year, presidential candidate and second-year in Russian and public affairs Taylor Stepp decided to take a different approach on how his campaign would get voter attention.

“We wanted something that was very central and direct. Students love it, the students we’ve talked to at least,” Stepp said. “I think it is resonating.”

Students go barefoot to put themselves in another’s shoes Jennifer Jung Lantern reporter jung.335@osu.edu Many Americans own many pairs of shoes, but what if you had none?

A group of Ohio State students walked around campus barefoot Tuesday to try to make a difference for the millions of children around the world who are living without shoes.

TOMS Shoes is known for its One for One movement, which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need whenever a pair is purchased.

“We are bringing the TOMS movement into Ohio State,” said Allison Burr, a third-year in hospitality management and a campus leader of OSU TOMS. “We are bringing Buckeyes together for a good cause.”

One Day Without Shoes, hosted by OSU TOMS, is a campaign that calls for participants to take off their own shoes to spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life.

“We, as a campus club, want to encourage other people to be involved to feel what it’s like not having shoes everyday and just what a blessing that we have shoes,” Burr said.

About 30 students who attended the campaign gathered together and watched a documentary film about One Day Without Shoes, produced by TOMS, to learn more about the TOMS movement, how it was started and why people have passion about it.

They walked one mile without shoes around the campus from Hitchcock Hallto Mirror Lake and through the Oval.

“There are a bunch of people so we can gain attention from them,” Burr said.

Jared Staley, a first-year in architecture, took off his shoes and said he participated in the barefoot experience to humble himself.

“There are lots of kids going without shoes and almost everyone in America is very privileged,” Staley said. “I just feel like this is the time to

in response to the words “Long Live Zimmerman” spray-painted on the west wall of Hale Hall one day prior.

Zimmerman launched therealgeorgezimmerman. com Monday, asking for donations from supporters. At one time, the site featured a large image of the spray-paint on the wall of the Hale Center, but the site and its content frequently change. The site’s validity was verified by Zimmerman’s lawyer Monday night, and his lawyers have since withdrawn from the case.

President E. Gordon Gee acknowleged the site, tweeting from his account, “As our community unites against hate speech, disturbing news about Hale Center image used as fundraiser.”

The circle on the Oval during the act of silence was broken twice — when one person biked through it and another walked through it. Miles said these were examples of some of the resistance the Stand Your Ground movement has faced and will continue to face.

“It hurts that somebody doesn’t respect what we’re doing and doesn’t respect what people feel,” Miles said. “We know we’re going to face setbacks no matter where we are. … We know that not everyone can agree. … We just want to have a conversation where there’s no hate.”

Miles said the OSU Stand Your Ground movement will continue to peacefully demand diversity and inclusion versus tolerance, and said she hopes to involve more members of the OSU student body.

“If we put everyone together, we have more power and more ideas to move forward to bring justice,” Miles said.

OSU TOMS started in 2009. There are about 15 members of the club on campus.

One of the members of OSU TOMS, Madelyn Gutkoski, a third-year in Spanish and anthropology, said One Day Without Shoes is raising awareness of the TOMS movement.

“We are spreading awareness of TOMS and what they are doing,“ Gutkoski said. “We are showing people that it’s not just a style or a fashion, but it means a lot to people throughout the world.”

Zimmerman says on the website that it is intended for his supporters and he asks for monetary support.

“This website’s sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries,” he writes on the site.

The validity of the site was verified Monday night by Zimmerman’s lawyer. Since the confirmation, Zimmerman’s lawyers have withdrawn from the case. Multiple media outlets have reported his lawyers have lost contact with their client.

OSU administration acknowledged the use of the Hale Hall image on Zimmerman’s site Tuesday afternoon.

“As our community unites against hate speech, disturbing news about Hale Center image used as fundraiser,” Gee tweeted from his account.

Some students said they understand this image doesn’t represent OSU. “As a student, I take pride in our diversity and our campus’ eagerness to accept more than one idea,” said Jared Kamrass, senior counselor to the USG president. “It is unfortunate that an isolated incident is shaping how some might perceive OSU.” Derrick said he is optimistic about the national attention. He said he thinks the nation will recognize the OSU community’s response above everything else.

“The students of this great university took a stand after the incident to show everyone that ‘Ohio State is no place for hate,’” he said. “I believe this is the true message that the nation will see, not the hate crime that initiated it. The university should not be held accountable for the acts of one student, in this case this (vandal) did not represent The Ohio State University.”

The OSU Stand Your Ground movement has been responding to the events of the past week.

Martez Smith, a third-year in social work, is the publicist for OSU Stand Your Ground.

“We with OSU Stand Your Ground feel particularly injured that (Zimmerman used images from) our campus, especially now that we are mobilizing such

Health from 2A “It’s kind of a weird balance of we’re going to be taxing our resources and that expanding it would do well in the public health sense, and personally I would be an advocate for it, but finding a means to do so would be challenging,” Ellsworth said.

Other students said the topic of legal immigrant health care is difficult.

“I think it’s very complicated. It’s not the same as covering low-income Americans with insurance because the immigrants are unstable. Maybe they will go back to their countries later,” said Yun Zhang, a student in sociology.

Zhang said she understood the difficulty of dealing with insurance as a non-citizen in the U.S. “The charges in Chinese hospitals are not so high,” she said. “If I’m injured or I’m sick, I go to the hospital without hesitation, but I will consider how much it will cost me when I’m in America, because

Vice presidential candidate and third-year in political science Kevin Arndt said he didn’t want to use branding in their campaign because it was “artificial.”

“It’s sad to say that we need to have a name brand be something that students connect with … that’s not what this is all about. We need to serve students,” Arndt said.

Campaigns take on catchy slogans and interesting logos to capture voter attention, but some students don’t think they can be swayed by clever marketing.

“I don’t think it would influence the way I voted,” said Kelsey Shankle, a first-year in fine arts. “Personally, I would want to hear about how they stand on things, I don’t know if it would sway other people.”

However, Shankle admitted she noticed some campaigns more than others based on their recognizable logo.

“I only noticed the Lego-themed one because they had Legos in front of their tent,” she said.

Although the effectiveness of marketing in the USG campaign cannot be measured, each pair of candidates expressed their hopes that their image will bring them success in the elections later this week.

strong support across race, class, gender, sexuality and religious lines,” he said.

Danielle Odlen, a graduate student in history who is also affiliated with the Latina/o Graduate and Professional Student Association and Diversity and Identity Studies Collective, is also very active in the movement.

“Zimmerman is using the image to project the idea that he has widespread support,” Smith said.

“Vandalizing the Hale Center was classified as a hate crime by OSU. The fact that he is using evidence of a hate crime is like a slap in the face.”

OSU Stand Your Ground representatives said they hope the nation takes notice of the community’s response.

A crowd of about 140 students, staff and community members gathered on OSU’s Oval Tuesday to mourn in silence the death of Trayvon Martin and demand an arrest and fair trial for Zimmerman.

Smith also reminds students of how much of an impact they have.

“It really brings home for us at Ohio State how deep this issue really is,” he said. “It brings home the fact that our campus operates as a microcosm in the bigger realm and the attention reflects how racism is still alive and prevalent today.”

Derrick said he believes the student response has sent a clear message.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but at Ohio State, we choose to believe in equality and value diversity,” he said.

Student leaders also said the OSU community is what really matters.

“It may not make Ohio State look good to the public, but the most important thing for us is to protect our students and make sure they feel comfortable and safe,” said USG communications director Naomi David. “The minute that the Hale Center was vandalized, it affected that safety and it kind of put a riptide through our community.”

In the end, however, Capps said he was concerned with the future of health care reform in the country. The biggest problem, he said, is the weakening of the Medicaid system through a lack of funding.

“Medicaid has suffered a lot of cuts at the state level,” Capps said. “States have been cutting reimbursement rates, and quality of health care is worse than a few years ago. It’s going to get more expensive, so I think some more attention must be paid to that program.”

Capps said the current debate leaves doors open for improvement. If the government is willing to put in the effort to properly plan out the coming reform process, then immigrants might be covered.

“Ultimately it comes down to some way to control cost while ensuring access to health care,” Capps said. “And that’s getting harder and harder in the budget climate.”

KYLE HENDRICKSON hendrickson.1087@osu.edu

I recently learned what Instagram was when a friend took a picture of me and then showed me the resulting photo that looked a whole lot different from

what he had taken a picture of.

Maybe I am behind the times, but I really had no prior knowledge of this particular photo sharing app.

Regardless, it seemed interesting, but I didn’t really give it a second thought.

Turns out Mark Zuckerberg did, though. He gave it enough thought to decide to fork over $1 billion — yep, you read that right — to acquire the company, in a deal announced Monday.

Not a bad profit for a 551-dayold company of 10 employees.

Considering the deal put a higher value on Instagram than companies like The New York Times, Barnes and Noble and Office Depot, the natural question to ask was whether Facebook

overpaid. Even though Zuckerberg hasn’t made many bad decisions since getting dumped

by Erika Albright, it’s a valid question.

But step back and consider the state of social media and the deal doesn’t look as outrageous.

People are becoming more and more interested in sharing every single detail of their lives with the world. There is very little private information anymore, and that’s how much of this consumer generation wants it. Social networking can no longer be laughed off as a passing trend. At the heart of the social networking experience are photographs. They make up the most important part of the Facebook

experience, something the company no doubt understands.

Photo sharing innovation helps to fulfill those growing desires of the consumer.

Since photo taking and social media has extended to mobile phones, it is vital that these companies supply as many networking opportunities to the phone as possible. The future of social media is in mobile devices as people continue to transition to smart phones. With that comes major money-making opportunity for the company that can best bring photo sharing to the mobile device. Consider all of this and the importance of Instagram begins to come into focus.

So Facebook sees the

Then it receives $50 million in funding from Venture Capital giants like Sequoia Capital — remember, all of this was done with 10 employees — and suddenly it becomes possible that we might be seeing the future of social media and photo sharing. At the very least, we have on our hands what some experts are calling one of the most efficient companies currently operating.

Rather than allow somebody else to swoop in and acquire the next big thing in mobile photo sharing, Zuckerberg takes the offensive and makes the move himself. It’s bold, no doubt about

it. But if you have the means to do it – and Facebook certainly does as they prepare to take their own company public, adding yet another revenue stream — why not trust your instinct and take the chance?

With one move he eliminates a possible competitor and adds to his arsenal in the ever-evolving world of social media. There is always risk in such deals. But this one seems to be worth it. Time will tell, but it appears to me that Facebook is staying ahead of the curve with this acquisition.

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen speaks during an April 10 news conference to address his Fidel Castro comments at Marlins Park in Miami, Fla.

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen needs to think before he speaks in future

DARIUS THIGPEN thigpen.9@osu.edu

LANTERN columnist

First-year Miami Marlins’ manager Ozzie Guillen is known for his antics as a character on the baseball field and in the media. His off-color comments have landed him in trouble many times before, but he went too far when he said he “loves Fidel Castro” and respects him.

In an interview with Time Magazine he made comments that might, unfortunately, define his career in Miami. Not only was what Ozzie said in poor taste because of how we, as Americans, perceive Castro, but it also was offensive to the many Cuban-Americans who make up his team’s fan base.

I’m from Tampa, Fla., and know many Cuban-Americans back home and in Miami. Many Cuban-Americans see Castro as a man of pure evil and he is widely hated in Miami. A lot of Cuban-Americans are the children and grandchildren of those who fled to America to escape Castro’s dictatorship in Cuba. For Guillen to say he “loves” a polarizing figure is one thing. The fact that he said that about a man many Americans consider to be an enemy and

There’s some disturbing news coming out of Gainesville, Fla., news that many Ohio State fans might be interested to hear.

According to a recent study done by Sporting News, the years that Urban Meyer spent as a head coach at Florida left the locker room completely in shambles. Reports of players running the locker room, using drugs and making executive decisions on roster changes all surfaced. The inner circle of players that had the most control in the locker room took the title “Circle of Trust.” Most importantly, perhaps, is that players would often fail drug tests and have these results covered up by their head coach.

According to sources, certain players who were left out of a season-opening game against Hawaii in 2008 had actually failed a drug test. Meyer, not wanting to face suspensions or worse, decided it was best to cover for his elite players and sweep the failed tests

under the rug. There was obviously favoritism at play, as well as a willingness to bend the rules just to get the highest results.

While these things are not uncommon or unexpected pieces of a locker room, they tend to strike a bit of a chord with the Buckeye faithful.

On Dec. 23, 2010, the NCAA suspended former quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan “Boom” Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas for five games for selling memorabilia and receiving improper benefits from Eddie Rife, owner of Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor. Linebacker Jordan Whiting also received a one-game ban.

Just more than a year ago, it was discovered that former OSU football coach Jim Tressel was aware of the violations but covered up the information so as to “protect the players.”

In the end, Tressel was forced to resign his position and leave OSU with a mixed legacy.

After his predecessor Luke Fickell had a very underwhelming season, Meyer was brought in to bring the shamed program back to glory.

the man who is most hated by the people of the region in which he coaches shows Guillen really doesn’t think before he speaks.

To add on, Guillen came into the season on a mildly hot seat due to the Chicago White Sox firing him; the Sox were simply fed up with his mouth. Guillen went from skating on thin ice to burning a fire on a piece of ice in the middle of the ocean. I don’t think Guillen deserves to be fired for this, and I hope he won’t be, but this might be the straw before the last one. One more slip-up and his talents might be removed from South Beach.

Up to this point, Meyer was having incredible success in Columbus. While he has yet to coach his first game, the recruiting trail has proven a gold mine. Meyer has brought in a top-5 recruiting class, including top-10 player Noah Spence.

Yet even this has brought some controversy to OSU. Other coaches across the Big Ten have claimed Meyer violated an unwritten rule in the way he went about flipping recruits to his cause. While not in any violation of NCAA rule, it was a potential insight into issues that could plague OSU further.

It was later stated that about 30 players were arrested during Meyer’s tenure at the school. This often included citations for drug use, which was prevalent among his top players. Percy Harvin has gained respect for his years at Florida, an all-around athlete that was always a threat to score, but wasn’t just the outstanding athlete everyone knew. Harvin failed multiple drug tests while in Gainseville, most of which were covered up, and never saw legal punishment for these issues.

Harvin was not the only star to fall into these types of situations. Aaron Hernandez, Brandon Spikes and Janoris Jenkins, all were stars at Florida, and all got into trouble over the use of marijuana and other character issues. None of these issues were NCAA violations per say, but you have to wonder how a coach at the top of his game could allow these things to happen.

Meyer adamantly denies the reports of course.

“I’ve never heard of Circle of Trust before in my life,” he said.

But if the reports prove to be true, then it could have negative implications in Columbus.

None of these issues really stands out as too egregious or surprising, but that’s not the issue here. The problem is these reports are like rubbing salt in a wound. The university is still reeling from the Tressel “Tattoo Gate” scandal, one that was wrought with lies and cover-ups. If Meyer wants to succeed at OSU, he is going to have to perform well on and off the field. Honesty is key and cannot be something that is ignored and tossed aside this time around.

Let’s just hope that things can change before they get out of hand in Columbus.

uTap app needs more participants to be effective LANTERN columnist

This last weekend wasn’t quite what I expected.

After seeing all the chalk advertising on campus last week, I decided to download uTap, an app which allows users to post a message that other users can see from a maximum distance of two miles.

ZACH WATSON The idea was watson.620@osu.edu interesting, but I wondered how this was going to help me improve at “Angry Birds.” Nonetheless, the possibility of having a constant invite to some of campus’ most interesting events was tantalizing. I decided to give it a try Friday on the Oval.

As the posting of my first message drew near, I became consumed with what I wanted it to say. This was the time to make a big splash. Alexander Graham Bell didn’t ask Thomas A. Watson to come to him politely, he demanded it. It was time for this Watson to go big or go home.

The perfect icebreaker came to me.

“Good morning everyone. How’s it going?”

Nailed it.

Despite its perfection, my message went without any replies — even to the very moment that I write this. Having felt like I got ditched by my high school prom date, again, I left the Oval defeated.

As humiliating as it was, I decided not to give up.

Saturday I met with the app’s creator, Karl Meves, to

4A

find out more about the app and to get some tips on how to use it.

In helping me understand why my first “tap” received no replies, Meves, a fourth-year in electrical engineering, said he expects a few more slow days for the app (especially with last weekend being a holiday weekend) until everyone becomes more acquainted with it.

After seeing usage data, it appeared that many people check the app, but it doesn’t mean they post.

Another facet is that to have an account, users must provide a university email address. Meaning everyone a user talks to is affiliated with the university. Unlike Facebook, your dad and grandma aren’t involved in your conversation.

Privacy is nothing to be worried about with the app’s “block” function. So if you grow tired of me asking everyone on campus how the Kardashians became famous, you can block me. Your loss though.

Meves also walked me through the app, pointing out some features I had not been aware of, such as the search bar, which allows me to sort old posts based on the content of their message.

After my encounter with Meves, my confidence returned and I devised a plan to attend the Short North Gallery Hop using the app to see what interesting events I could find.

It would’ve made for one heck of a column.

I traveled to South Campus that evening to pick up a female friend in hopes that two people attempting to hang out with strangers would make for an easier conversational atmosphere than one.

I was also fully prepared for the possibility that my attempts to go elsewhere could go without replies. So I decided to also ask the app’s users to come hang out with my friend and me.

My first idea was to set up a meeting place at a restaurant. I offered the choice of Union Cafe, and in a matter of minutes we were seated on the patio.

Hip place for meet-ups: Check.

After tapping a couple of posts checking to see what events were happening the rest of the night, I sent out a dinner invite to anyone that wanted to eat with a fellow uTap user.

Unfortunately, neither my invite for dinner nor my requests for interesting plans were met with responses.

After spending a few hours more at Gallery Hop while periodically checking the app, I parted ways with my friend after an unsuccessful evening.

In a last-ditch effort, I made my way to campus to see what events were occurring.

While at McDonald’s, I checked the app one last time.

My post asking what events were happening for the evening did get a response, and it was Meves reminding me he was at Formaggio. I realized that campus’ uTap usage was as slow as the Short North’s. It was then that I decided to call it quits for the night.

Sullen, I lamented the night that could’ve been over fast food, which did help.

Though my experiences with uTap were not at all what I wanted or expected them to be, the app is still new to students and still promises opportunities to meet new people.

On Friday, I did manage to look back through the posts that were tapped earlier in the week and saw that event invites had been posted on other days. Saturday evening just wasn’t my night – or the app’s.

I still plan on using the app for finding any interesting events near me, and the likelihood of that happening is increased as students become more familiar with uTap. Until then, I’ll just play “Angry Birds.”

Live bees and QR codes might be the buzz at an exhibit at the Ohio State Urban Arts Space.

Part one of the NextWave: 2012 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition is scheduled to open Wednesday at the OSU Urban Arts Space. The exhibition will showcase the work of 13 OSU students completing their MFA degrees this quarter. A free reception will be held at the Urban Arts Space Saturday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Refreshments and informal discussion with the artists and curators will be included,

The exhibition, in addition to written theses from the students, serves as a capstone for the MFA program, said Michael Hardesty, MFA program coordinator at OSU. “The work represented within the 2012 Thesis Exhibition is a culmination of two years of research and development within their studio practice,” Hardesty said. “The broad breadth of artwork showcases the diverse talents of this graduating class.”

Leigh Lotocki, communications coordinator at the Urban Arts Space, said OSU’s MFA program is one of the best in the country.

“It’s gaining esteem from the art field and the community, so we’re really proud of our students,

we’re proud of our faculty,” Lotocki said. “This is one of our trademark shows. We do this every year, and we’re always really excited about it.”

Lotocki said the exhibition is a first step for students to begin their professional art careers, giving them the chance to develop their voices and present their research.

“It is a way for them to explore more what might be their definitive topic or work style, or a way for them to explore one small facet of many things that they’re interested in,” she said.

One of TV’s best dramas is on the bubble for renewal, and without any announcement either way yet, the waiting game is driving me insane.

“Fringe,” Fox’s sci-fi drama about parallel universes and hightech science experiments, has withstood poor ratings all season, averaging about 3 million viewers an episode. More importantly, it has been hovering around a measly 1.0 share, or 1 percent of households with TVs, in the prized 18-to-49-year-old demographic, which is what advertisers really look at when it comes to buying ad time.

Just for reference, for the week ending April 1 the top-rated show in the demo was actually Ohio State’s matchup with Kansas in the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four, which nabbed a 5.5 in the demo.

In the show’s defense, however, it regularly leads in percentage increase in timeshifted viewership, which

It saw a 100 percent boost in time-shifted viewership for the episode that aired the week ending March 25, with its rating boosted from a 0.9 rating live in the demo to a timeshifted 1.8.

You know that pop song you hear for the first time on the radio and you think you might hate it, but it’s so darn catchy you can’t get it out of your head, so you look it up on YouTube and discover it’s your new favorite song?

That’s what’s happening all over America with the hit “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Never heard of her? Neither had I, but it turns out she is Justin Bieber certified. The Biebs heard her song on the radio when he was home for the holidays and decided he loved it. I can’t say I blame him, because the more I hear the song, the more I want to keep listening to it.

The lyrics are far from intellectually stimulating, but since when has that been a qualification for pop songs? Jepsen sings a noncommittal chorus of,

[ a +e ] Fringe from 5A Regardless, “Fringe” might be renewed by Fox, and if it is, it’s a beacon of hope for humanity, in that a critically acclaimed show can survive without being a cash cow.

In all reality, “Fringe’s” renewal hinges on what Warner Bros., the studio that produces the show and licenses it to Fox, does. Fox president Kevin Reilly said when asked about “Fringe” that the network isn’t in the business of losing money, but if Warner Bros. can offer Fox a deal it can’t refuse, maybe it won’t.

There’s incentive for Warner Bros. to offer Fox a deal. Warner Bros. will essentially have to give “Fringe” away to Fox. In the short term, Warner Bros. will likely lose money, but if it can get “Fringe” to a fifth season that would likely consist of 13 episodes, it will push the show north of 100 episodes, which is the magic number for selling a show into syndication, where the studio would recoup its losses.

That would be the long-term benefit for Warner Bros., a studio that’s not exactly hurting for cash right now. It’s also the studio that produces highly rated shows such as “Two and a Half Men,” which have already been sold into lucrative syndication deals. If Warner Bros. does wait another season to sell “Fringe” into syndication, it would likely get more than seven figures per episode to whatever network buys it.

So see, Warner Bros. and Fox? Please strike a deal. It’s in your best interest.

Fox has been relatively kind to “Fringe” so far.

Reilly has been vociferous in his support for “Fringe” at least on a creative level, and was gracious enough

Call from 5A the radio, he called her up and signed her to his record label, Schoolboy Records. Before that, she was signed to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger’s Canadian label, 604 Records, and was previously a top-three finalist on “Canadian Idol.”

Jepsen is Bieber’s first artist on his label. The crazy part is that Jepsen, who looks like a 16-yearold, is actually 26 and Bieber is 18. Never say never, right?

Bieber is to Jepsen as Usher was to Bieber, but

to renew it for a full fourth season last year when the ratings dipped. The network placed “Fringe” on the dreaded “Friday night death slot,” which is probably a bit unfair if you want to maximize ratings on an acclaimed show, but some “Fringe” is better than no “Fringe.”

“Fringe” is my favorite show on TV and it’s one of the best on network airwaves. The cast is one of the best on air, especially considering the main characters have had to play at least two different versions of themselves given the alternate timelines and parallel universes. It’s also one of the most exciting.

You can count on some crazy plot revelation or twist in virtually every episode.

A lot is happening toward the end of the show’s fourth season to wrap up loose ends in the story arc.

But even so, I want more. It’s become appointment viewing for me, which is more than I can say for most stuff on TV. I’m actually willing to sacrifice my plans on Friday nights to watch TV. With a bit more room in the budget after canceling “Terra Nova” and ceasing “House,” I would hope Fox would be willing to take whatever losses might come with whatever money it’s saving with those shows gone.

Things are looking up. TVLine.com’s Michael Ausiello has “Fringe” as a safe bet for renewal.

“Fringe” producer Joel Wyman said Monday from his Twitter account, @JWFRINGE, that he is “feeling good” about a fifth season and expects to know something either way this week. Considering Fox announced renewals of comedies “Glee,” “Raising Hope” and “New Girl” Monday, that certainly seems realistic.

Fingers crossed that news is good news.

with some wacky age ratio difference. Bieber and Jepsen were recently on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” where he introduced her as “his artist.”

Adding to the “Call Me Maybe” sensation is a homemade YouTube music video starring Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and several members of the boy band Big Time Rush.

The video has more than 31 million views since it was posted on Feb. 18. All that happens is they dance around and lip sync the song. Even further proof that, just as we all suspected, teen stars and teen music sensations are just like us.

Art from 5A feature an observation hive filled with about 6,000 bees. The piece will consist of an architectural setting atop a grate under which the beehive will be kept.

The piece will rely on the bees to build their combs around the structure, to “obscure it and cover our architecture with their architecture,” Murphy said.

Another artist, John McCaughey, will showcase pieces that stray away from his study’s focus, printmaking. McCaughey will instead focus on the use of QR codes, codes scannable with a phone that redirect you to information about a product, and surveillance. One piece by McCaughey features a QR code that links to a live camera feed of the Urban Arts Space’s entrance.

“If you have an iPhone, you can participate in this piece by scanning it with your QR reader,” McCaughey said. “You have this power to watch people from now on. You can walk around the

gallery with your phone and still see who’s coming in and out of the gallery.”

The 10,000-square-foot gallery has been showcasing students’ work since opening in 2008.

Hardesty said since moving the exhibition to the Urban Arts Space, after previously displaying students’ art in private galleries and a pre-renovated Hopkins Hall, it has become even larger than before, with an average attendance of between 500 and 800 people at receptions.

Even for those skeptical of contemporary art, guest curator of the exhibition Sarah Rogers assured the exhibition offers something for everyone.

“I think (audiences will) find that contemporary artists are thinking about some of the same things that you and I are thinking about in our everyday life … but they’re able to express it and get (you) to think about that in a different way,” Rogers said.

“This is what’s so exciting about art.”

The second part of the exhibition, with a second group of MFA artists, will run from April 28 through May 12. All exhibitions are free to the public.

OSU club football optimistic about future Andrew Williams Lantern reporter williams.3384@osu.edu On a windy, overcast April afternoon at Ohio State, the cleats are laced up, footballs are tossed around and a new offensive scheme is being installed. New coaches and new players provide hope for the upcoming season. This is not the beloved Buckeye varsity football team, however, but the OSU club football team getting ready to enter its fourth season this fall.

OSU club football began Spring Quarter 2008. A group of about 25 players made the team and stuck it out through the inaugural season in fall 2009. The team went 1-4 the first year, beating only Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, 28-12.

The second year was a similar story for the club. A team of about 35 players competed for the Buckeyes and they made improvements from 2009, but the 2010 squad finished the year with a 2-4 record.

Former club president and a player for three years, Nick Herrin, said that despite the tough times the team endured those first two years, it was the most fun he’s ever had playing football.

“It was just 18 to 25 guys that just absolutely loved football,” said Herrin, a fourth-year in psychology.

In the first two seasons, the team was not lacking in skill or talent, but was simply outmanned when compared to their opponents, Herrin said.

“The first year of the club, we had 18 guys that were as good as anybody,” Herrin said. “We were just outnumbered. We go to Xavier and Miami and they’ve got 45 guys.”

Despite going 3-8 in the first two years of the club’s existence, the players said the excitement increased prior to the 2011 campaign. Through

As Herrin said, the increase in the number of players on the team helped. The Buckeyes finished the season 6-0 and ranked No. 3 in the final Intercollegiate Club Football Federation rankings.

OSU practices and plays all of its home games at the Lincoln Tower Turf Field, which is located just south of Ohio Stadium. Safety George Shapiro, a third-year in industrial engineering and club president, said looking up at the fourth-largest football stadium in the country makes him feel like “the little brother” at times. He said he doesn’t mind though.

“It’s still cool that it’s behind us like that,” Shapiro said. “It’s still very exciting to play in front of the Horseshoe.”

The Buckeyes held tryouts last week and added 25 players to a team with 25 players from last season’s undefeated squad. Practice began Monday and will be two days each week until the end of the quarter.

The team is making an offensive transition this year, similar to that of the varsity team under coach Urban Meyer. The scheme will be more of a spread offense after last year’s team was more run-oriented, Herrin said.

Quarterback Jeff Porter, a secondyear in operations management and club vice president, said the biggest thing for the team this spring is to get everyone together and start teaching the new guys.

“We’re just trying to teach right now,” Porter said. “We’re just trying to get the new people caught up to what the veterans have learned already so that when it comes time for the fall, we can just jump right in.”

Defensive back T.J. Thompson, a second-year in finance, said learning the new schemes is key, but getting everybody excited about playing is the most important thing.

“This spring, we want to get everyone just excited for the autumn,” Thompson said. “Everyone just loves playing and has fun.”

Looking forward to next season,

coach Ray Giesige said it’s going to be hard to duplicate what last year’s team did because of the players that are graduating. Giesige played for the club team the previous two seasons before concussions forced him to switch to a coaching role. The fourthyear in sport and leisure studies said he wanted to stay involved and help continue what he helped start.

“I decided I wanted to stick around and help out because it really is a great organization and we’re trying to do good things,” Giesige said.

While he said he thinks the team has lost some important players from last year’s team, Giesige is looking to build off the 2011 season and is optimistic about the 2012 Buckeyes.

“We lost some key contributors, but the great thing about here is there’s so many people that we can replace them at least a little bit on the talent side,” Giesige said.

“We’re looking for people to step up right now and be leaders and if that happens, I think we’ll have a pretty good year.”

Dime-A-Dog wieners wow Clippers fans Aaron Green Lantern reporter green.1078@osu.edu

Dime-A-Dog Night began as an idea to boost attendance for the Columbus Clippers. More than three decades later, the promotion has stuck and has become a local tradition that is as much a part of the city as the team it was created for.

Fans got to enjoy Dime-A-Dog night Monday at Huntington Park when the Clippers hosted the Indianapolis Indians, and it won’t be the last chance to enjoy 10-cent hot dogs this year, either.

“It’s kind of like the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’” said Clippers president and general manager Ken Schnacke. “It has a cult-like following and people just want to come and be a part of it.”

First held on May 23, 1977, in Cooper Stadium as “10-cent Hot Dog Night,” Dime-A-Dog Nights have become some of the most anticipated games of the season, and they are usually the highest attended games of the year, said Joe Santry, Columbus Clippers media director.

“The ones in August definitely have larger crowds than the ones in April,” Santry said. “But at most Dime-A-Dogs, the stadium is at, or near capacity.”

The official attendance of Monday’s Dime-A-Dog Night at Huntington Park was 7,507. Only opening day, with an attendance of 8,576, saw more fans fill Huntington Park’s 10,100 seats through the team’s first five home games in 2012.

Dime-A-Dog Night has solidified itself as a Columbus tradition in the last 35 years, with fans of all ages paying attention to when the Clippers played a Monday home game so they could partake in discount-priced dogs. Scheduled for select Monday home games throughout the season, the night typically occurs about once a month.

“We’ve just always done it on Mondays,” Santry said. “It’s a little easier for fans to remember I guess.”

This year it will be even easier for fans to know when Dime-A-Dog Nights are — they’ll just have to know if the Clippers are in town on Monday.

To help celebrate Columbus’ bicentennial, the Clippers have scheduled a Dime-A-Dog Night for every Monday home game, not just the typical once a month scenario.

“It’s one of those Columbus traditions,” Santry said. “And because of that, we’ll do it every Monday.”

The change will allow fans more opportunities to participate in the tradition, Schnacke said.

“The people love it and it’s a part of Columbus’ history,” Schnacke said. “It’s a fun thing to do, so we’re going to give fans more opportunities to come out and celebrate a city tradition.”

Columbus resident Corey Zerkle said he is happy to see more Dime-A-Dog Nights this year.

“It’s a big part of Columbus,” he said. “The Clippers and Dime-A-Dog Night goes hand-in-hand and the more Dime-A-Dogs, the better.”

Zerkle, a native of Springfield, Ohio, and now a father of 12-year-old twin boys, said he remembers going to Dime-A-Dog Nights as a kid and has regularly attended the night with friends and family since he moved to Columbus 22 years ago.

“We all come out with our kids and have a good time,” he said. “We usually have a bunch come out so it’s great because it’s cheap.”

The fact that the hot dogs remained 10-cents throughout the last 35 years adds to the fascination of the night, some fans said.

“It’s great. I love it,” said Scott Kinkley, a secondyear in history. “A meal at school is usually seven to eight bucks, so getting five hot dogs for 50-cents is like free.”

Kinkley said he did not attend the game solely for Dime-A-Dog Night. One of his friends was in the hot dog race, but he said he is likely to return to Huntington Park for the 10-cent hot dogs.

Chris Wiet, a fifth-year in mechanical engineering, said the night was something he enjoyed doing with his family when he was little and there was added motivation to go because hot dogs were only a dime.

“I remember being allowed to eat as many hot dogs as I wanted because they were just 10-cents,” he said.

Santry said the Clippers sell between 27,000 and 33,000 of the 10-cent hot dogs per Dime-A-Dog

Night, and the record number of hot dogs sold on a night is 40,782 on Sept. 1, 2008.

That was the Clippers’ last game at Cooper Stadium, and Santry said it was the highest-attended Dime-A-Dog Night in Clippers’ history with an attendance of 16,770.

Schnacke said it has not been easy keeping the hot dogs at 10-cents through the years, but every attempt he took to raise the price failed miserably.

“Every time I tried to raise the price even a little bit to account for the rising costs, it bombed,” he said. “Fans demanded it be 10-cents, and because of our sponsors, specifically Sugardale, we’ve managed to keep it that way all these years.”

Schnacke said it is the fans who make the night special for him. Some of the most memorable nights for him were the ones he would see at Cooper Stadium walking in wearing holsters with a bottle of ketchup on one side and mustard on the other, along with fans who compete with each other to see who can eat the most hot dogs in a given night.

The Clippers have six remaining Dime-A-Dog Nights scheduled for the 2012 season. The next is on April 30. In addition to those six scheduled events, all home playoff games will be Dime-A-Dog Nights as well.
