Imagine Ohio State and the University of Michigan working together on everything from budget appropriation projects to football issues. Activists from each school ÿghting for more funding and grants for Big Ten schools one day and joining forces to keep the BCS bowl system in place the next.

Welcome to the sometimes puzzling, frequently hidden and often expensive world of lobbying.

OSU has spent about $1 million over the last three years on lobbying efforts. In 2008, OSU contributed $514,000 for lobbying purposes. This encompasses salaries divided by the percentage of time spent lobbying, rent for the Washington, D.C. ofÿce, travel and ofÿce resources, among other things. In 2009, the number was reduced to just more than $262,000 and in 2010 it dropped again, to $220,000.

“Ohio State is the biggest, most complex, most vibrant university in America,” said President E. Gordon Gee in an email to The Lantern. “We are an organization with a $4.8 billion annual budget and with strong partnerships across the public and private sectors. We apply the full breadth of our

“

If you look at OSU, they were certainly very active in 2008.

Although they dipped down quite a bit in 2009 and then again in 2010, the school is still spending much more than most universities do. Anytime you’re up in the six-figure range, you’re spending a pretty sizeable amount for a single university organization.

Former USG candidates prove that loss can bring its own forms of success DANIELLE HIXENBAUGH Lantern reporter hixenbaugh.9@osu.edu What do R.L. Stine, Gov. John Kasich and Felix Alonso, the associate director of the Multicultural Center at Ohio State, have in common?

They’ve all lost Undergraduate Student Government elections. Kasich lost twice.

“I decided to run for USG president as a publicity stunt to sell magazines. I was a graduating senior. I knew I couldn’t legitimately run.

Mostly, I wanted to see if, as a write-in candidate, I could sabotage the election,” Stine, 67, author of “Goosebumps” and other children’s horror books, said in an email.

Stine, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1965, was known as “Jovial Bob” and ran in the 1965 USG elections to gain publicity for “The Sundial” humor magazine on campus.

“I had clowns out on the Oval carrying signs that read: Elect A Clown as Student Body President. My campaign slogan was: If elected, I will graduate and go away for good,” Stine said.

He obtained 1,163 write-in votes, according to the OSU USG Alumni Society website (www.osuusgas.com).

“It gave me conÿdence that people enjoyed my sense of humor,” Stine said.

Kasich also ran in the USG elections in 1972 and 1973, but was unsuccessful.

In 1972, Kasich ran with Marty Cummins and obtained 25.1 percent of the vote, 5.5 percentage points behind the winners of the election, Michael White and M. Dowling, according to www.osuusgas.com.

In 1973, Kasich ran with John Oleyar and received 25.6 percent of the vote, 3 percentage points behind the winners of the election, Dennis Sargent and S. Farmer, according to www.osuusgas.com.

Kasich, who graduated in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, did not respond for comment.

Alonso, 39, ran in the 1992 and 1993 USG elections before graduating in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish. He attributed much of his success to this experience despite not being elected president. “I think my overall experience at OSU and being involved pushed me into the career that I’m in,” Alonso said. “I think all my experiences, including that experience, got me to where I am today.”

Although Alonso was not elected president, he remained an active member in USG. Alonso advised students to get involved.

“I love the work I do and I love that I am able to work with so many students and encourage students to be involved (at OSU),” Alonso said.

USG President Micah Kamrass, a fourth-year in political science and economics, said he learned a lot from his experience.

“Win or lose, I’d be a student and I’d still be graduating,” Kamrass said.

OSU constructing a plan to fix buildings

67/46 mostly sunny 63/53 showers 56/44 rain 53/44 partly cloudy www.weather.com

Although the Ohio State campus is almost constantly under construction, OSU ofÿcials say some buildings have slipped through the cracks.

Terry Foegler, OSU associate vice president for physical planning, said 75 buildings on the Columbus campus are in need of major renovation or total replacement.

“Major renovation includes the replacement of major systems such as a new roof, plumbing, heating and ventilation and mechanical systems,” Foegler said.

The 75 buildings in question are at a point where roughly 40 percent of the building costs would be necessary to bring it to like-new condition, Foegler said.

“You get to a point where a building gets low enough, when does it make sense to replace it verses repair it?” Foegler said.

The buildings represent roughly 16 percent of the buildings and 13 percent of the gross square footage of the Columbus campus. OSU’s Columbus campus has 30.2 million gross square feet, spread across 460 buildings with a total current replacement value of nearly $9.5 billion, according to the report.

The majority of space in need of renovation is classroom and academic support space. Included among the buildings is Hitchcock Hall, built in 1967, where many OSU students take classes in its 640-seat lecture hall, room 131.

Bobby Rohweder, a ÿrst-year in computer science and engineering, spends a lot of time in Hitchcock for classes and said he is not surprised the building is one of the 75 listed.

“When you walk upstairs you can see water leaking from the ceiling,” Rohweder said. “The bathrooms are in pretty bad shape.”

Rohweder said he doesn’t feel unsafe in the building, despite a mold problem which resulted in a lawsuit against the university after an OSU employee developed a respiratory illness while working in the

building. Instead, Rohweder said it is mostly an aesthetic issue.

“You look at the RPAC and it‘s this magniÿcent building; then you look at this building and you think, ‘Yeah, it‘s been here a while’,” Rohweder said.

“Being an engineering student, usually you’re used to working with newer stuff.”

Foegler did not respond to requests for comment related to the safety of the buildings.

But Laura Shinn, senior vice president and director for planning, said in an email, “Any life safety issues are resolved quickly.”

As of now, eight of the buildings have projects assigned to improve their conditions.

Ronald Ratner, university trustee and chair of the physical environment committee, said the issue of building maintenance is serious.

“Over the next 10 years we’re going to have a signiÿcant renewal need,” Ratner said.

campus Family of student killed by elevator to receive $1M THOMAS BRADLEY Senior Lantern reporter Bradley.321@osu.edu Ohio State agreed to pay $1 million to the family of Andrew Polakowski, a ÿrst-year student who died more than four years ago in an elevator accident in Stradley Hall, according to court documents.

Polakowski was on the residence-hall elevator on Oct. 20, 2006, when he was crushed trying to exit the elevator. The elevator fell from the third-° oor lobby of the resident hall, and his body was trapped between the ° oor of the lobby and the ceiling of the elevator.

USG from 1A

The Lantern reported on Nov. 1, 2006, that the elevator had a major brake failure and wasn’t safe to hold its maximum weight of 2,500 pounds.

The other 23 passengers on the elevator were not injured.

Polakowski, 18, was a ÿrst-year in pre-business. He was from Erie, Pa., and is survived by his parents and his three sisters.

In January 2009, Polakowski’s parents, Kazimierz and Janina, ÿled a suit against OSU in the Ohio Court of Claims. On March 22, 2011, the settlement was ÿnalized in the court. In addition to the $1 million to the family, ÿve third-party companies paid OSU as part of the settlement.

The companies that agreed to pay OSU include Otis Elevator

union following his unsuccessful campaign efforts, he said.

Davis, who organized the Ohio Union “Flash Mob” in 2010, has had the opportunity to organize ° ash mobs for the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer and the Columbus Partnership, she said.

Davis currently works at the Ohio Union with the Buckeye Leadership Fellows, a new organization that focuses on third-years and gives them “real life experience,” she said.

“I’ve gotten really ingrained in what I want to do, which is leadership development,” Davis said.

Stine was successful in other ways.

“I learned how easy it is to get publicity if you do something a little crazy, a little out-of-the-ordinary,” Stine said.

Stine went on to be regarded as the “Stephen King” of children’s books, according to www. goodreads.com.

Kasich was elected Ohio’s governor last November.

With USG elections approaching, many students will end their campaign efforts and wish for the best.

Win or lose, the candidates will hopefully walk away with an experience they will not regret.

USG election losers learned lessons just by running Kamrass defeated Jordan Davis, a ÿfth-year in political science and leadership studies, in the 2010 elections.

“Not only losing the election, but losing by the amount we did, made me step back and analyze what I could have done better,” Davis said. “I just had to stop thinking about what I could and couldn’t do and focus on what I could do afterwards.”

Despite losing, Davis learned from her experience.

“It taught me a lesson and humbled me a lot and the conÿdence came later on when I was strong enough to get through it,” Davis said.

Those who don’t claim the title of USG president can be triumphant after the elections.

“I created exposure for myself and had opportunities that I wouldn’t have had if I didn’t run,” Alonso said.

Alonso went on to be the president of Delta Chi fraternity, a resident hall adviser, the chair for homecoming and for a committee to rebuild a new

With the money being paid to OSU from these companies, the university itself is paying $387,500 of its own money, the same amount as Otis Elevator Co. Through the entire incident, Polakowski’s family never spoke publicly about the situation.

Building maintenance is dependent upon funding for renovations Ratner if he felt the university had the resources needed to tackle the issue, Ratner replied he was conÿdent the university had the right people, but he was not as certain in terms of money.

“That’s going to be the really complex aspect of this is how do you ÿnd the funds, how do you allocate those funds?” Ratner said.

Although Ratner said 50 percent of these funds could come from the state, with the budget

still unapproved, even this portion of funding is uncertain.

Based on the assessment, the estimated cost to bring the academic and support space up to likenew condition is about $1.4 billion.

Both Foegler and Ratner agree it is neither possible nor strategically prudent to bring all buildings up to 100 percent like-new condition. But Foegler concluded a plan is needed to improve conditions and pay for it.

Ratner said it really comes down to one question: “What condition do we want our campus in?”

Law helps ensure clinical trial patients are insured JAMES OLDHAM Senior Lantern reporter oldham.29@osu.edu Jennifer Carlson noticed a disturbing trend.

Cancer patients who’d been put on cancer clinical trials at the Ohio State Medical Center were losing their insurance, making routine care and continued assistance impossible.

Carlson, the assistant vice president for external relations and advocacy at the medical center, came to the realization that this was a signiÿcant issue. In order to improve standards of care, patients must be allowed to “accrue onto trial.”

Carlson said unfortunately, insurance premiums included language along the lines of, “if you are recommended to go onto an experimental therapeutic, then you in fact become uninsured.”

“We felt it was taking too long when we went back to the insurers to say ‘We need to get these patients onto this trial because they’re terminal and their condition can change on a dime … and the delay in this review is harming the patients,” Carlson said.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), who became a champion for the Access to Cancer Clinical Trials Act on a national level, relayed a story to the American Association for Cancer Research that explained why it was such an important piece of legislation.

“An Ohioan named Sheryl Freeman came to see me in Washington, D.C. She was suffering from cancer, but her insurance company was not allowing

her to enroll in a promising clinical trial recommended by her doctors. The insurer had included ÿne print in its policy that allowed it to use participation in a clinical trial as an excuse to stop paying for all routine care costs,” Brown told the AACR in June.

“Sheryl wasn’t looking for the insurers to pay for the trial; the university’s cancer hospital was willing to pick up the tab, as it often will. She simply wanted routine care like x-rays and blood work covered.”

“Unfortunately, by the time the insurer relented, it was too late for Sheryl, who passed away in December 2007,” Brown told the AACR. Carlson visited Steve Stivers (R), who was at that time a member of the Ohio Senate. She explained that it was hurting not only patient care, but also hurting the economic engine and delaying scientiÿc discoveries.

“Steve introduced this state bill that ensures when patients are required to go onto clinical trial activity, you can’t make them uninsured,” Carlson said. “Meaning all of their routine costs need to be continued to be covered by the insurers.”

The bill passed, and federal legislation soon followed. The new law will go into effect in 2014, but Carlson said she hopes the process will be expedited.

“We’re trying to expedite when the bill provisions will go into effect. We’re still having problems and challenges getting patients onto trials because of that provision,” Carlson said. “But we’re thrilled about the fact that it’s going into effect in 2014.”

The lobbying disclosure forms don’t have speciÿc amounts spent on individual bills.

“If you look at OSU, they were certainly very active in 2008.

Although they dipped down quite a bit in 2009 and then again in 2010, the school is still spending much more than most universities do,” Levinthal said. “Anytime you’re up in the six-ÿgure range, you’re spending a pretty sizeable amount for a single university organization.”

Richard Stoddard, associate vice president for government affairs at OSU, said he spent the majority of his time direct lobbying in Washington, which helped to account for the higher numbers in 2008.

“If not a full time, a large percentage of my time was spent direct lobbying. With the addition of the (government affairs) ofÿce, and I have other responsibilities,” Stoddard said. “So fewer trips to D.C., less of my time and less of my salary. It’s no less effort; I think it’s just less time.”

Despite what Levinthal referred to as a “rotten economy over the last two years,” the education industry spent $98.5 million on federal level lobbying efforts in 2010, down just $4 million from 2008. The total amount spent on lobbying in the U.S. increased from 2008 to 2010.

occasional lobbyists that practice unethical tactics, lobbying is often a legitimate profession and an integral part of the democratic process.

“The role of the lobbyist or the government affairs person, one is to identify the issues coming up that are important to campus,” Stoddard said. “And then in the case of funding, the importance is to make sure that those pots of money, which our faculty competes for funding from because most of that is competitive awards, have sufÿcient funds in them to compete.”

Lobbyists for OSU work with a number of individuals from various parts of campus, from Gee’s ofÿce to students.

“We have a remarkable story to tell. Quite naturally, we are apt to tell it to many audiences, including elected ofÿcials,” Gee said.

The lobbyists act as a mouthpiece for the university, ÿghting for legislation that will beneÿt the university and pushing to prevent detrimental legislation from passing.

“These lobbying efforts can help a university when it comes to convincing lawmakers to help you, to assist you, to grease the wheels of politics in your favor,” Levinthal said.

Stacia Rastauskas, assistant vice president of federal relations at OSU, said the lobbyists have to pick their battles and determine which requests are most beneÿcial to the university.

“We try to encourage faculty and students to send us the bills that have priority or that impact the university in some way, shape or form,” Rastauskas said. “Now, do we lobby on everything that comes across our desk? No. We have to ÿgure out what makes the biggest impact.”

Stoddard agreed and said it’s often in the hands of the lobbyist to decide which acts of legislation will receive more attention.

“We have to make a determination then that you can’t be for everything sometimes, and you have to understand where your priorities are,” Stoddard said.

“But it’s really set by the university agenda I guess.”

A large portion of the university’s lobbying efforts focuses on student ÿnancial aid and funding, which in turn helps to increase opportunities for students and professors.

One of the university’s more recent successes occurred in late 2010. A competitive grant program created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 made it possible for the Health Resources and Services Administration to award

the OSU Medical Center with a $100 million grant.

“I went to the members of the Ohio delegation and said ‘We are applying for this; we think we have a really competitive proposal with the expansion of our medical center. Would you please write a letter of support?’”

Rastauskas said. “And in October 2010, a month before the election, we got a bipartisan letter from both members of the House and our two senators at the time, Sen. (Sherrod) Brown (D) and Sen. (George) Voinovich (R).”

The funding will be used to support ProjectONE, a $1 billion project which includes the expansion of the OSU Medical Center. Last week, OSU’s Board of Trustees approved a release of about $111 million for the project.

“It’s a once in a lifetime thing where a program evolves, and legislation some people believe is targeted at one particular institution, it becomes a competitive program,” Stoddard said.

“Making that happen, allowing that to happen, putting people in the position where they can compete for dollars, that’s our role really.”

There’s more to lobbying than the bills that are centered on funding. In 2009, Rep. Joe Barton (R) from Texas sponsored the College Football Playoff Act of 2009.

It’s well documented that Gee has been against imposing a college football playoff system, so in this case it was up to the lobbyists to play defense.

“This is something we do kind of in partnership with the Big Ten Conference,” Stoddard said.

“The conference is a member of the Bowl Championship Series. There have been several attempts to legislate a different kind of championship playoff.

“We spend a lot of good time in Washington explaining why it isn’t really a federal issue. It really is a defense of the bowl system.”

Levinthal said universities are concerned with plenty more than just education.

“Universities will lobby on anything that could in any way, shape or form affect their campus, their university climate, their business interests, student life and the interests of the administration and faculty,” Levinthal said.

Universities that represent higher education will often work together on various legislative issues, including schools in the Big Ten. On Capitol Hill, schools such as OSU and Michigan are constantly working together.

“We’re always working

with our colleagues from other universities, and we work very closely as a conference,” said Cindy Bank, assistant director of Michigan’s D.C. ofÿce. “We have a great group of lobbyists. We love each other.”

Rastauskas agreed.

“If Michigan and Ohio State can agree that a piece of legislation like the Patent Reform Bill, or an appropriations bill is good for both campuses, how could you not support it?” Rastauskas said.

“Federal legislation I think is the one place where we agree more than we disagree.”

Over the last three years, Michigan has spent just more than $1.6 million in lobbying efforts.

“Basically our ofÿces are very reactive to what Congress and the administration is doing,” Band said. “There’s no normal amount to spend, or way for us to even foresee what each year will be.”

OSU students make the trip out to Capitol Hill, too.

“We were in D.C. with a group of students recently, and they were much more effective than we are talking about Pell Grants,” Stoddard said. “Nine of the 15 had Pell Grants themselves. So they were able to explain what it means, why they need a Pell Grant, and what it means to their education. They were the real-life embodiment.”

As the battle over the 2011 federal budget rages on in Washington, proposed cuts to the Federal Pell Grant Program has a number of students and university ofÿcials in a state of panic.

“A considerable number of our students rely on Pell Grants and other federal measures to make education affordable,” Gee said. “In Washington, my colleagues and I speak to the tremendous signiÿcance of these programs to our current and future students.”

Gee said lobbying on behalf of the university isn’t just a right, but a responsibility.

“Sharing information about the work our faculty and staff do, about the needs of our current and future students, about the tools that help us serve this state and nation, is more than good conversation; it is our duty,” Gee said. “Ohio State is in the progress business. There is no reason we should hesitate to make that known.”

Last year, Stoddard earned $153,248. Carlson was paid $152,250. Rastauskas made $118,692.

LANTERN Columnist

Late last month, the Oxford English Dictionary revealed the new additions to the christened “premier” dictionary of the English language.

The most striking of these additions: OMG, LOL, and the heart symbol (as a verb). These acronyms (and symbols — in the case of “to heart”) join existing modern-day acronyms, like IMHO (in my humble opinion), TMI (too much information) and BFF (best friends forever).

These additions lead me to wonder if our generation, Generation Y, is contributing to or crippling the English language. In search of convenience, we opt for phrases such as TTYL or CU L8R. Our greetings, goodbyes and the conversations in between can consist entirely of letters, symbols and emoticons. Even if an enlightened dialogue, its depiction in simple cuneiform, causes all speculation of refined thought to subside.

There is one advantage to terse text — we extract the meaning of the message quite easily. We are forced to choose only the most essential words that allow us to accurately convey our intentions.

Brevity is a critical component of intelligent communication, however in our effort to be laconic language experts, the necessary precision in our meaning has gradually eroded. When done well, pithy word choice

over the perfect words to encapsulate his every thought. Convenience and urgency makes such precision a subsidiary pursuit in communication. In few cases, convenience may take priority; acronyms and simple language in these instances are preferred. The problem lies when this convenience is favored in every opportunity for dialogue. Formal language is replaced with colloquialism; expression is exchanged for banality.

In this process, we have lost the high caliber of vocabulary of previous times and the ability to pen description, detail and nuance. Eventually, the degenerative disease that has plagued the English tongue will be able to utter only newspeak — all matters to be described will be only good or not good.

Perhaps this gripe is only a writer’s histrionics, but even if hyperbolic in nature, the trend holds true. Small changes can prevent this from happening on an individual level — for example, learning a word-of-theday (I’ve inserted mine in the preceding sentence). Another suggestion is to attempt to emulate the writing style of a literary great.

Digital communication and insightful language do not have to be opposing forces. If you diligently develop your own writing style, you’ll soon be texting Shakespearian sonnets to your significant other.

USG: Should you vote? If so, for whom?

Using alternative methods to elect a USG presidential team LANTERN Columnist

USG elections are tomorrow and Friday, which is a time of year when many students become cynical about university government. Often, a student writes to The Lantern, informing readers that he or she will not be voting because “it really doesn’t make any difference.”

I do not feel this way. In fact, I take my job as a student voter very seriously. I have even devised a complex system that helps me decide who to vote for.

The system takes into consideration the factors that many students overlook.

Name Only rubes vote for candidates based on policy.

The name makes all the difference.

BRAD MILLER Jacob Foskuhl and Melissa Kellams: Any way you miller.4410@osu.edu look at it, these names do not roll off the tongue.

Kevin Flynn and Andrea Blinkhorn: I would unashamedly vote for a Foghorn/Blinkhorn pairing. Unfortunately, only half the ticket came through.

Nick Messenger and Emily DeDonato: Their last names loosely translate to “Messenger of Donatos.” Though the pizza might be overpriced, any college kid can appreciate the effort. And I enjoy the workman-like attitude their names exude.

Advantage: Nick and Emily

Slogan Every ticket has a catch phrase, though I am pushing for legislation to ban them.

Nick and Emily: “Together students can.” This is a little too vague, especially for a college election. One must consider, “together, students can (and have) burned couches.”

Jacob and Melissa: “Make it happen.” Again, too broad. It is as if the last two slogans would be better if combined: “Together students can make it happen.”

Kevin and Andrea: “Your vision. Your voice. Your university.” That rolls off the tongue and sounds mostly positive. But it doesn’t exactly put me at ease. My vision requires me to wear glasses. My voice is dry and scratchy. And my university is about to become my alma mater.

Advantage: Ralph Nader Sidewalk chalk The best way to communicate, except when it rains.

Jacob and Melissa: I am not sure what a pinwheel has to do with an election, but they were well drawn.

Nick and Emily: They certainly take the cake for biggest ads, though this makes me wonder if they are overcompensating for deficiencies elsewhere.

Kevin and Andrea: Based on my unscientific count of chalk ads, they had the most.

However, they did not include a design, which could mean they either have diligence or lack creativity. I’ll say diligence.

Advantage: Kevin and Andrea

Letter to the editor Niraj A ntani Social and Behavioral Sciences Senator 43rd Undergraduate Student Government Senate Thirty Facebook event and page invitations. Attempting to walk through the Oval without being pestered. Not being able to get to class without walking over a plethora of chalkings.

Yes, it’s none other than USG election season. It’s annoying. We get sick of it. There seems to be no escape. But you should vote, and here’s why.

Every student at this university pays a $25 quarterly Student Activity Fee. Of that estimated $4 million, the three student governments get 8.5 percent. From that 8.5 percent, the Undergraduate Student Government receives the amount that is proportional to the number of undergraduate students at the university opposed to all students. Roughly, it ends up being about $250,000. That is $250,000 of your money that 43 senators, a president and a vice president have the ability to spend. Your vote can decide who you trust to spend your money.

In addition, our university is governed by a University Senate, composed of faculty, staff, administrators and students. Twenty-six undergraduate students serve in this body, all of whom are appointed by USG. Furthermore, USG appoints students to university-wide committees. These committees and the University Senate make decisions related to student organization policies, new majors and minors, the semester conversion, university rules and regulations, academic misconduct and judicial affairs hearings, and more.

A lot of what goes on in these committees have a direct, daily impact on your time here at OSU. By voting, you can decide who represents you at the bargaining table.

I stand with the majority of OSU students when they say USG should listen to students more, work on projects that will actually benefit students and do less to pat themselves on their backs. However, 30 seconds of your time can decide who spends your money and who represents you on various bodies throughout this university. Please check out all of the candidates’ platforms, talk to them, and vote on April 14 or 15 by logging onto http://usg.osu.edu/elections. Thank you.

USG overwhelms, but you should still vote It was 8:30 p.m. on Sunday and I logged onto Facebook.

I had already known to expect USG campaigning to begin at 8 p.m. that night, but those who were not previously warned must’ve been in for a shock. Almost every campaign group – down to senators from each program – had created a Facebook event and sent out invitations encouraging students to vote.

I understand that the most important part of an election process is informing the public. I really do. We see this every four years with our nation’s presidential elections as well as our local governor elections. It’s vital that the community understands what each political party believes regarding current issues, what actions they plan to take if elected, what they ask of the public, etc. Those who are ignorant often vote for a representative they know nothing about, and might regret it later on.

However, I also believe that there should be a limit to campaigning. It can be seen not only during national elections, but with our own student government elections this past week, that bombarding the public in an attempt to win can be overwhelming. Constantly hearing about who is the “right” person to vote for, or seeing different forms of marketing in every part of campus, can make it harder for people to decide who they actually agree with. I know that personally, I had reached a point where I temporarily considered not voting at all.

For those individuals who have reached that point where I was, I encourage you to stay strong. I know it’s annoying to be surrounded by students running for a position who will not give up until they have your “guaranteed” vote. But at the same time, these students could potentially be making changes next year that will affect us all. It’s important to give

them each a few minutes to explain their position, so you are more aware of what might be to come.

Not only this, but you will be at a better place to let your voice be heard when voting for who you agree with.

As for those running to be a part of the student government, I really hope this fire lasts. As frustrating as it can get sometimes, RUBINA KAPIL it’s also nice to see that kapil.5@osu.edu you all care so much about being able to create change. I’ve heard a few speeches that I won’t forget from students who can relate to challenges we face, and plan to change them. However, it is election week. I hope that you will not lose this initiative as the weeks go on. If, and when, you are elected, I hope that you will continue to actually maintain communication with the student body and make a difference.

So, whether you vote for Nick and Emily, Kevin and Andrea, or Jake and Melissa, please vote tomorrow. I know it can get annoying, but it’s important that we students support our classmates and have a say in the student government that will form. Learn more about each presidential slate, as well as the senators running alongside them. Vote for who you agree with, and let’s hope that they will not disappoint us as election week comes to an end.

LANTERN Columnist

Appearance A candidate’s name is important, but it is not everything. He must also look the part.

I do not judge based on attractiveness — that would be weird and I have no room to talk. I make my selection based on dress. For this, I look only at the president, from their picture in The Lantern last week.

Kevin: He looks the most presidential, but maybe too much so. The suit and tie make him look stiff.

Nick: By wearing a T-shirt, he looks the most like me. But I don’t think of myself as being presidential.

Jacob: I don’t usually fall for moderates, but based on the current system, I must be fair. He took the middle ground and wore a button-up shirt without a tie. Casual and comfortable. Respectable.

Advantage: Jacob and Melissa

Your vote can make an impact

It looks like a dead heat. So who will I vote for, you ask? Sorry, but I charge for that kind of information.

6-degree graduate not pleased with choice of Boehner for spring commencement speaker Letter to the editor In the 35 years of my affiliation with Ohio State, I have never reacted to a headline in The Lantern quite the way I did today: “Speaker of the House John Boehner to deliver spring commencement speech.” I am disappointed. This Spring Commencement, I will receive my sixth and final degree from The Ohio State University. I fear that the focus of the day will be shifted from those of us who are receiving our diplomas toward political protestors both inside and outside of the stadium.

Traditionally, the student leadership picks the spring quarter commencement speaker with some guidance from others. I believe that such a controversial and divisive politician was not the best choice. Mr. Boehner is indeed an Ohio son who has risen to one of the highest positions of governmental leadership our country offers its citizens. But his political stubbornness and unwillingness to work for the good of the country in collaboration with the current administration are contrary to the university’s motto “Disciplina in Civitatem (Education for Citizenship).” Yes, he is entitled to his opinion.

But his choice of political tactics has all but shut down the federal government and put the country at loggerheads over

4A

some very basic civil rights. He has led his party to incivility at the State of the Union address, he has set the tone that compromise is bad, and he has bullied the American public into thinking our country has no room for public debate and respect for others.

The Ohio State community has been known to express its opinions about national leadership in very public ways. I worry that my sixth and final commencement from my alma mater will be surrounded by controversy when it should be a day of celebration. I foresee picket lines, signs, shouting, fist pumping and backs turned to the dais. The day certainly will not be dull. But what a final image for the graduates to take as we walk out of the stadium and away from the University.

Men’s Tennis v. Notre Dame 4pm @ Columbus, Ohio

Arizona is a long way from home, but former Buckeye basketball player Danny Peters still finds himself surrounded by familiar faces.

Peters, a New Albany, Ohio, native, is a graduate assistant for the men’s basketball team at the University of Arizona. After Peters’ senior season in 2010, former Ohio State assistant coach Archie Miller contacted him to gauge his interest in coming to Tucson, Ariz.

“Archie called me and said: ‘Hey, I want you to come out here. You’re eventually going to get into this, so why not start now?’” Peters said.

Miller was an assistant coach under OSU coach Thad Matta from 2007 to 2009. He left to join his brother, Sean Miller, who is the head coach at Arizona. Archie Miller is now the head coach at Dayton.

Peters said he wanted to stay at OSU, but there weren’t any positions available on Matta’s staff.

“Arizona is a special place too,” Peters said. “It has a great following, the resources there are second-to-none and the whole West Coast wants to be a part of it.”

Baseball v. Michigan State 2:05pm @ Columbus, Ohio Men’s L acrosse v. Denver 3pm @ Invesco Field - Denver

The women’s lacrosse team earned its highest rank this season at No. 19.

Check thelantern.com for complete coverage.

Josh Dezse’s name has been written on coach Greg Beals’ lineup card before all 25 games this season.

He begins each game as either the designated hitter or the first baseman. But when the eighth and ninth innings roll around, Dezse can be seen jogging down to the bullpen.

The 6-foot-5 freshman is a two-way player. In one game, he can play the field, get in some at-bats and make a relief appearance.

He is not used in these ways simply because he can do it. He has succeeded in all facets of the game, and the Buckeyes’ coaching staff recognizes that.

“He’s a great athlete, and when you have a great athlete like that, you need to get him on the field and use him as much as possible,” Beals said.

As of Saturday, he is batting .316, leads the team with 17 RBIs and has the team’s second-most hits (30) and third-most doubles (5).

In his 12 relief appearances this season, he has posted a 3-1 record with three saves, 13 walks, nine strikeouts and a 6.14 ERA. “It’s a special tool to work with,” pitching coach Mike Stafford said.

“He has got a lot of arm strength, he’s got a good frame and his ability

First baseman Josh Dezse catches the ball too late to make the tag on Northwestern’s Colby Everett in the fifth inning on April 2. The Buckeyes lost, 7-3, to Northwestern.

The roar likely will never be restored for Tiger Woods SPORTS Columnist

GRANT FREKING freking.4@osu.edu

inten grou tional ndin g

The man who electrified the sporting world when he won the 1997 Masters by a record 12 strokes at the age of 21 is not the player he once was.

Tiger Woods is now 35 years old. He is still on pace to break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories.

However, Woods has gone 11 majors without winning, the longest streak of his career.

Heck, he hasn’t won since Sept.

23, 2009.

That’s not to say Woods still won’t break Nicklaus’ record.

In early March, Nicklaus said it was too early to dismiss Woods’ chances.

But that was before the

Masters performance Woods turned in this past weekend.

Yes, the literal “Tiger roar” returned to Augusta, Ga., as Woods made a Sunday charge on the front nine. In the past, Woods has made clutch putt after clutch putt to run away with the victory while others faded.

That didn’t happen this weekend.

He missed short putt after short putt. Even after leader Rory McIlroy collapsed, Woods couldn’t capitalize, and finished No. 33 in putting at the Masters.

It’s fair to say the aura is gone. The younger players aren’t scared of Woods anymore.

Sure, McIlroy buckled. But

Jason Day, Adam Scott and the eventual Masters champion, Charl Schwartzel, all of whom are younger than Woods, didn’t blink. The 26-year-old Schwartzel birdied his last four holes on Sunday. How’s that for wilting under Woods’ pressure?

Pressure is something Woods also puts on his body. Even his revamped swing involves incredible torque on his left leg.

Shortly after he won the 91-hole 2008 U.S. Open, Woods revealed he’d been playing with a torn ACL in his left knee for more than 10 months, and had also suffered a double stress fracture in his left leg two weeks before the U.S. Open. Woods’ surgery

to repair his left knee following the tournament was the third on his left knee since 2003.

On Monday, Michael Wilbon, co-host of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” said Woods should play more in order to induce more muscle memory and that Woods can’t afford to take so many tournaments off in between majors anymore. But, it appears Woods has no plans of doing that.

Early last month, Woods was asked why he’d only played nine competitive rounds so far in 2011.

“Well, because I have a family.

I’m divorced,” Woods said. “If you’ve been divorced with kids, then you would understand.”

The only court Woods had to appear in following his personal transgressions was divorce court.

He split from former wife Elin Nordegren on Aug. 23, 2010 — but he was executed in the court of public opinion. Perhaps he truly has become a family man.

Whether it’s an incomplete game, a lost aura, an injury history or family devotion, it’s clear Woods is a different man.

What remains to be seen is whether he can break Nicklaus’ record, something that’s always been his No. 1 goal.

Peters’ dad

drafted by the New York Yankees in 2010 is ahead of him. It’s very exciting to work with a guy at that high a caliber of talent.”

The Powell, Ohio, native was a three-year starter at Olentangy Liberty High School. As a high school junior, Dezse batted .348, drove in 19 runs and was 5-0 with a 1.60 ERA as a pitcher.

His senior year he hit .410 with five home runs and 33 RBIs. On the mound, he was 5-2 with a save and a 2.44 ERA. His performance as a senior earned him a spot on the All-District first team and an honorable mention for the All-State team. The New York Yankees drafted Dezse in the 28th round of the 2010 first-year player draft.

He turned down the pinstripes for the chance to be a Buckeye.

“It would be a dream to play pro ball. To play for the Yankees, it’s like a whole different level,” Dezse said. “It was tough, but I’m proud to be at Ohio State.”

He knew he was going to be a two-way player in college, and he was pleased to find out that Beals and Stafford had coached Kolbrin Vitek, a two-way player they trained while at Ball State.

“That made me feel pretty comfortable,” Dezse said.

Vitek was a second baseman and starting pitcher for the Cardinals. He, like Dezse, was drafted in 2010. The Boston Red Sox selected him with the 20th overall pick.

Dezse was used as a two-way player in consecutive games on April 3 against Northwestern and Wednesday against Miami (Ohio).

Dezse played an integral role in the 15-14 win against Northwestern.

He was 1-for-3 as the designated hitter with an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts. With a 14-10 Buckeyes lead, Beals called for him to pitch the ninth inning.

“Your mindset is totally different,” Dezse said. “To jump on that mound, it’s almost like a different mentality, absolutely different. You just got switch it on.”

He struggled getting ahead early

First baseman Josh Dezse makes a catch at first during the Buckeyes’ 7-3 loss against northwestern on april 2. in the count and the Wildcats tied the game, 14-14. Dezse gave up four runs on as many hits, and walked a batter.

He failed to preserve the lead, but he earned the win when OSU won the game in the bottom of the inning.

The Buckeyes did not have much to be happy about after a 12-4 loss to the RedHawks on Wednesday, but Beals said he was most pleased with Dezse’s performance on the mound.

“We had a little talk with him before the game about his mental preparations to pitch and handling the dual duties that he has,” Beals said. “Just being able to switch back and forth and be mentally prepared, and he had at it tonight.”

Dezse was 0-for-4 at the plate that night, but he showed poise as he transitioned smoothly to the pitching mindset. In his only inning of work, he gave up one hit but he struck out the side. He said the outing was a huge confidence booster for him.

“It’s challenging at times because two-way players in college are not around as much as single players,” Stafford said. “You have to manage your time wisely and put in double the work. It takes a special person mentally to do that.”

The freshman was selected as the

Big Ten’s first Freshman of the Week.

In that week, Dezse hit .583 at the Big East/Big Ten Challenge to lead the Buckeyes, and finished both games he entered as a pitcher.

Dezse had multiple hits in his first three games for OSU. He had two hits and an RBI in a loss to Cincinnati, two hits against No. 28 Louisville and three hits, a run scored and an RBI in the win against St. John’s.

The right-hander allowed one run in one inning of work against No. 20 Louisville. He also picked up the win in against St. John’s, a game in which he pitched two shutout innings.

He was selected as the Big Ten Freshman of the Week again two weeks later, after leading the team offensively in its 7-1 victory against Army on March 13. He was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Dezse scored the first two runs of the game, and broke the matchup open with a bases-loaded double that gave the Buckeyes a 6-1 lead.

He is the first two-time winner of the award.

“He has proven that he can hit, and has proven he could pitch at this level,” Beals said. “Now it’s just a matter of he and our coaching staff polishing him up and getting him the best he can be.”

His desire to get into coaching didn’t just start on a whim after a phone call from a former coach.

Peters’ father, Dan Peters, has coached at the collegiate level for 32 years, including five years as an assistant at OSU, from 2005 to 2009.

With the inherent time constraints that come with coaching, Danny Peters said he bonded with his father over basketball.

“If I wanted to go shoot, it was because he was going to the gym, so he worked with me,” Danny Peters said.

“As I got older, we started talking X’s and O’s and recruiting. Now it’s evolved into a coaching relationship.”

Dan, now the director of basketball operations at Akron, told The Lantern he originally advised his son not to go into coaching.

“Initially the advice was to become a doctor or a lawyer, much more stable professions,” Dan said. “But because his passion for the game and people were evident after a while, it wasn’t surprising that he decided to become a coach.”

Danny joined his dad in Columbus for the 2005–06 season, where he spent the year as a student manager. During the 2006–07 season, Danny was placed on the active roster as a walk-on player.

Then-guard Eddie Days played with Danny during the 2009–10 season, after he himself walked on.

“I’ve known him since my freshman year,” Days said. “All the walk-ons — me, him and Mark (Titus) — we were all close.”

Danny left his mark on the OSU record book as well, being a part of 110 victories, tied with Titus for second most at the school.

While the Club Trillion blog founder, Titus, gained all the notoriety for sitting on the bench, Peters made an impression on his teammates despite rarely stepping on the floor.

“He studied the game a lot and paid real close attention to detail,” Days said.

“I think he’ll make a great coach.”

Peters said he has a two-year contract with Arizona. He has to attend school and can’t recruit, but he is allowed to perform other activities typical for a coach, such as scouting and working with players in practice.

“Danny does a great job with our players in getting extra shots and workouts in during the offseason,” said Ryan Reynolds, director of basketball operations at Arizona. “They know that he is here to help them get better as a player.”

During Danny Peters’ first season at Arizona, the Wildcats entered the NCAA Tournament as the fifth seed, upsetting both fourth-seeded Texas and No. 1 seed Duke, before losing to Connecticut in the Elite Eight.

The team loses only one senior from the 2010–11 squad, and hopes to retain leading scorer and tournament standout sophomore Derrick Williams. Regardless, Danny said he has high expectations for his second season in Tucson.

“They’ve tasted success, and now they want more,” he said. “They were a 3-point shot away from getting to the Final Four, and that’s not good enough for them.”

Grace Ellis Lantern reporter ellis.489@osu.edu It’s the kind of music that thumps in your chest and reverberates from your core to the tips of your fingers.It’s the kind of unimaginable loudness that leaves your ears ringing for days.

It’s the kind of show your parents warned you about.

When Bassnectar takes the stage, you can be certain of two things: the party is on, and it will be anything but conventional.

Performing Thursday night to a sold-out Lifestyles Community Pavilion, Bassnectar’s

dubstep electronic music will play to an expected crowd of up to 2,200 people, said Marissa Luther, marketing manager at PromoWest Productions. “(We’re anticipating) a younger crowd that’s ready to dance,” she said. “That type of music is really, really big right now, and we’ve had success at all these kinds of shows lately.”

Pulling samples from a variety of musical genres, the DJ’s music includes bass-heavy originals and reimaginings of songs meant to be played as loudly as possible, said Nicole Sheff, a second-year in art attending the concert.

“He uses crazy bass lines and experiments with changing tempos to make really eclectic mixes,” she said.

Bassnectar’s gritty, unpolished sound is part of what makes his music danceable and his show appealing, Sheff said.

“The wobbly bass lines are intoxicating, and you can’t help but move,” she said. “I find it really entrancing. I’m expecting a crazy, fun time.”

Bassnectar has played at a number of major music festivals, including Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, according to the band’s website. Even with all of the attention he has received from dubstep fans and the music community, some are dubious about his abilities as a musician.

Lecturer ties ‘Lost’ to famous theorists L auren Brown Lantern reporter brown.3978@osu.edu

Get instant arts updates. we’re on Twitter.

@Thelanternarts

Fans of the television show “Lost” are finally getting some answers to some of the show’s mysteries.

Professor Giancarlo Lombardi, from the College of Staten Island, delivered his lecture, titled “‘Lost’ in Theory: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About ‘Lost’ But Were Too Afraid to Ask Derrida, Foucault, and Lacan,” to about 30 students in the Wexner Center for the Arts’ Film/Video Theater on Monday.

Lombardi used the philosophic

works of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan to flesh out some of the symbolism buried within the plot of “Lost.”

“I hope you were not lost,” Lombardi said jokingly to an audience member.

The ABC show, “Lost,” aired from 2004 to 2010. It followed the lives of 48 plane crash survivors who are stranded on a mysterious island in the South Pacific, according to ABC’s website for the program. “‘Lost’ can read on several different levels,” Lombardi said. “It’s a constant game of Chinese boxes where you’re constantly opening something.”

Instead of narrowing his lecture down to the series finale, Lombardi used examples from most of the six seasons.

He compared Foucault’s idea of panopticism to the lighthouse that was featured in the season five finale of the show.

A panopticon is a tower placed in the center of a prison yard that allows prison guards to monitor the surrounding area, without the prisoners knowing when they’re being watched. Lombardi said the lighthouse represents the idea of a guardian who is secretly watching over the stranded survivors.

Lombardi also showed how

Derrida’s ideas on “pharmakon” related to an episode in the sixth season when Sayid Jarrah comes back to life after temporarily dying from a gunshot wound.

He said the Greek word “pharmakon” can be divided into two terms, one meaning remedy and the other poison. In this episode, Jarrah was given a pill when he came back to life, which turned out to be poison.

However, this pill allowed him to defeat the villain of the series and restore favor with some castaways.

Lombardi said this medicine represented the split meaning of

arts&life Sara Bareilles set to perform love songs for concert-goers at Newport sTePHen BonD Lantern reporter bond.198@osu.edu Strong vocals, upbeat piano, lyrics about love and crafty pop tunes are all things found in many artists who achieve success in the music industry.

Sara Bareilles will bring all of these elements to Newport Music Hall when she performs tonight at 7 p.m.

The show will be part of a current tour to promote her single “Uncharted,” the second from her album “Kaleidoscope Heart,” released in September 2010.

“She’s been a big name and we’re happy to have her,” said Marissa Luther, marketing manager at PromoWest Productions, which owns Newport Music Hall. “It’s going to be a good show.”

“Kaleidoscope Heart” is Bareilles’ third album, and one that she said did not come easily.

“I’m beyond proud of this collection of songs,” Bareilles said on her website, “in no small part due to the fact it was like pulling teeth to write them.”

Bareilles was unavailable for comment.

She began working on the album in 2009, and collaborated with artists such as Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots and Pharrell.

It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and she began a headlining tour that lasted through December, before accompanying Maroon 5 on a slew of dates in February.

“King of Anything,” the first single off “Kaleidoscope Heart,” peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, and stayed on the chart for 14 weeks.

The song is indicative of Bareilles’ appeal, an upbeat, well-crafted pop tune filled with witty lyrics about love and relationships.

“I like Sara Bareilles just because her music isn’t a lot like other artists that I’ve heard,” said Tori Norris, a third-year in human resources. “I feel a connection with her lyrics and I’m just intrigued by the sound.”

Bareilles is originally from Eureka, Calif., and sang in an a cappella group while attending UCLA. After graduating college, she performed regularly in bars and clubs building an audience, before releasing her first studio album “Careful Confessions,” in 2004.

That album helped get Bareilles signed to Epic Records, and she would spend much of the next 2 years touring and opening for acts such as Maroon 5 and James Blunt.

In 2007, she released her major-label debut “Little Voice,” which found immediate success on the shoulders of its first single “Love Song.”

“Little Voice” has gone platinum, selling more than 1 million copies, and Bareilles spent much of the three years following its release touring to promote it, after which she was completely burnt out, she said on her website.

While many might describe Bareilles’ music as pop, it ranges from upbeat, guitardriven anthems to slower ballads with an emphasis on piano and vocals.

“I love the piano,” said Jill Mohr, a fourthyear in nursing. “I think that she’s a great artist and it’s really exciting that she’s coming to a place like the Newport.”

Bareilles will continue her headlining tour through May, aside from a handful of dates supporting Maroon 5, before going on to support Sugarland throughout the summer.

sara Bareilles, performer of the 2007 hit ‘lo ve song,’ will be performing at the newport Music Hall tonight at 7 p.m.

New poetry reading series to focus on array of topics of writing forms from arts and culture blogging to journalism.

“There is such a great community of writers,” Stephenson said. “I also wanted it to be clear that it’s local artists.”

The OSU Urban Arts Space sets a tone for the readings, Stephenson said.

She said the first night of the series is a “celebration of poetry in an arts space.”

“I hope we see that writing is a form of art,” Stephenson said. “It’s a beautiful space. It’s got such a great feeling.”

Stephenson said Paging Columbus’ name is a call out to nerds to answer their pagers and join a community of writers. Stephenson said she hopes writers will be inspired by one another

racHel reMy Lantern reporter remy.31@osu.edu Paging Columbus is calling the community together for a night of poetry Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Ohio State Urban Arts Space. The new literacy series is taking place on the first Thursday of every month and will focus on different forms of writing.

Hannah Stephenson, the event curator and an OSU alumna, said the purpose of the event is to read private writings aloud. The event will not only focus on poetry, but feature a range

and audience members will take something new with them when they leave.

“I think that many artists are inspired by poets and vice versa,” Stephenson said. “I want it to be fun and engaging.”

Stephenson and three other OSU alumni, Maggie Smith, Jason Gray and Jen Town, will be reading poetry Thursday night.

Stephenson said she will be reading more playful poems and making pop culture references, including a “Jersey Shore” poem.

Stephenson said she wants to bring together areas of writing by doing something she enjoys.

“It’s my favorite thing to read with other authors,” Stephenson said.

Gray said reading poems aloud is an enjoyable experience because he gets to connect with the audience.

“It’s nice to be a part of the community,” Gray said.

Gray said Stephenson asked him to read at the event. While the four readers might not have anything in common, they are all friends and respect each other, Gray said. “(Stephenson) wanted to start a new series to showcase the city’s artists,” Gray said.

Gray said he hopes patrons will take a favorable opinion of poetry with them.

Katie Poole, OSU Urban Arts Space student outreach assistant and thirdyear in English, said Paging Columbus is unique because it focuses on poetry and writing in an arts space. Poole said the program will not only show viewers something new, but it will also include something new for the poets and writers.

“It’s great because they are focusing on the writing as art,” Poole said.

“It’s different because it’s going to be a teaching experience for the people involved.”

“wasting light” Foo Fighters

Few bands can crank out more memorable guitar hooks than the Foo Fighters. Despite the fact that many of their albums are heavy on filler, all of them still boast a handful of radioready classics like “My Hero,” “Everlong” and “The Pretender.”

Recent albums have found Dave Grohl and company embracing a mellower side, yet it’s clear that the harder the Foo Fighters rock, the more consistently great the music is. In their new album “Wasting Light,” the band checks all ballads at the door.

The result is a pretty terrific song cycle, which has a higher hit-to-miss ratio than most of the band’s recent discography. In the first 40 seconds of the album opener “Bridge Burning,” Grohl lets out a howl that sends the message loud and clear. With this album, the Foo Fighters are looking to embrace a dirtier, heavier sound that echoes their early work on such albums as their 1995 self-titled debut and 1997’s “The Colour and the Shape.” “White Limo” is an aggressively loud rocker which conceals Grohl’s lyrics beneath layers of heavy guitars and distortion.

This is a rare Foo Fighters’

album which demands a frontto-back listen, as each track seems to offer something new.

One can never accuse the band of laziness, but past albums only provided a few songs worth keeping, while the rest could be left on the shelf to gather dust.

On “Wasting Light,” every song is important, even if they aren’t consistently brilliant across the board.

“Wasting Light” was produced by Butch Vig, who famously worked with Grohl on the classic Nirvana album “Nevermind.” “Wasting Light” was recorded entirely in Grohl’s garage using only the simplest of equipment, and this unpretentious attitude comes through in the finished product. The music still sounds clean, but it exists without the addition of any extraneous bells and whistles. It’s the sound of a rock band in its purest form.

Paul Simon possesses an uncanny ability to take some of the heaviest lyrical content and themes and make them sound light and inviting in his music.

In “The Afterlife,” the first single from his 12th solo album, “So Beautiful or So What,” Simon paints a picture of heaven like it’s an exclusive athletic club, where one must fill out a form and wait in the line. “After you climb up the ladder of time The Lord God is near/face-to-face in the vastness of space your words disappear,” Simon sings on top of shimmering rhythm guitar, staccato electric riffs and a syncopated beat.

Questions and concerns about life are a constant on the album – not a surprise with Simon being 69 years old – but the feeling is light throughout.

“Dazzling Blue” feels like lying on a cloud, a mix of folk and Indian percussion with dobro and fiddle adding an earthy element.

“Rewrite” rolls along to a percussive guitar riff with beautiful flourishes of kora harp entwined in the melody.

The song tells the story of a Vietnam veteran working at a

“so Beautiful or so what” Paul simon

car wash, with Simon singing, “I’ve been working on my rewrite, that’s right/I’m gonna change the ending, gonna throw away my title, and toss it in the trash.”

“Love is eternal sacred light, free from the shackles of time,” Simon coos over a stomping beat on the heavy, blues-charged “Love Is Eternal Sacred Light.” Wailing electric guitar riffs mirror his vocals, with bits of blues harmonica thrown in.

Simon keeps the album short and to the point with 10 songs spanning 28 minutes.

The musical elements lifted from so many places in the world meld nicely, and keep the album loose and fluid from track to track. Simon has certainly put together one of his finest pieces of work with “So Beautiful or So What.”

Melancholy ‘Atmosphere’ makes for mediocrity JusTin conley Assistant Arts editor conley.325@osu.edu

“The Family sign” atmosphere

With their seventh studio album, “The Family Sign,” rap duo Sean “Slug” Daley and Anthony “Ant” Davis continue to shrug off the artificial sounds and heavy production that characterize more popular rap for a raw and distinctive interplay of guitar and piano. The first track, “My Key,” sets the tone of the album, opening with eerie piano strains that lead into down-tempo guitar riffs and echoing vocals resembling an odd mixture of Radiohead and The Beatles circa the late 1960s. The depressed instrumentals carry through most of the album, resonating with deeply personal storytelling.

While Daley unflichingly recites tales of domestic abuse and heartbreak in tracks like “The Last to Say” and “Who I’ll Never Be,” his stoic voice and poorly placed instrumental breaks often leave the tracks lacking in vocal emotion and stacatto.

In an almost-merciful break from sorrowful tones and lyrics, Daley and Davis use tracks like “Millennium Dodo” to explore a gritty perspective on crime, sex and drugs. Though the duo make use of a synthetic beat overlaying bluesy guitar, the sound is more closely related to the harsh

beats of early-1990s rappers such as Notorious B.I.G. than to today’s artists.

While “She’s Enough” manages to escape its moody peers into an up-tempo contendedness, Daley also checks his efforts at heartfelt lyrics at the door. In a reflection of the song title, Daley shirks loving coos for shallow descriptors like “She the opposite of selfish/She love housepets/She wanna help kids” that amount to a friendly pat on the back rather than a love song.

Overall, “The Family Sign” makes up for random bouts of aimlessness and Daley’s inexplicably emotionless voice with its embrace of an individual sound seemingly drawn from a mixture of alternative rock, blues and infant rap. Atmposphere may never meet conventional approval, but this lushly narrative album justifies the rap duo’s respected status in the underground.

show’s characters needed powerful, symbolic father figure to facilitate order “pharmakon” because the pill both helped and hurt Jarrah.

He also related Lacan’s “Name of the Father” concept to one of the few commonalities of the characters on the island.

Lacan’s concept says humans need to have a powerful, symbolic father figure in a community to influence the creation of rules and facilitate order. “‘Lost’ portrays a universe that is heavily male centered,” Lombardi said.

He said that many of the characters on “Lost” are either fatherless or dealing with the death of their fathers. For this reason, Lombardi said the protective character, Jacob, assumes the symbolic paternal role for the island society.

had on the academic world and the average television viewer.

“There’s got to be 10 books on ‘Lost’,” Lombardi said. “It’s got very philosophical undertones.”

Dana Renga, an assistant professor in the French and Italian Department at Ohio State, organized this lecture.

“I watched every single show from beginning to end,” said Renga.

She said Lombardi’s lecture demonstrates the merging of midbrow and highbrow culture.

Evonne Segall, a marketing coordinator for Express, said she skipped work to come hear Lombardi speak about her favorite television show.

She said “Lost” has opened up another venue for education in her life.

“There were alot of things that you can read into and educate yourself,” Segall said. “It’s a neat opportunity.”

Lombardi has received both his master’s and doctoral degrees from Cornell University, and he is currently head of the Italian program at CSI: CUNY.

“Expect lots of glow sticks and rave toys, good music, sweat and sore muscles the next morning.”
