A running battle

1B

With the Spring Game days away, four new and returning running backs have been competing for playing time.

[ a+e ]

Changes Ohio State’s Board of Trustees made to the way it hires contractors will increase workmanship quality and save the university money. Since December, 14 projects have been identified under these new requirements, valued at more than $1.5 million.

Doug Rhoades of Rhoades Construction has been working with the university for about 20 years on projects that typically cost between $5,000 and $200,000.

Until the Board of Trustees met in February, the university’s threshold for competitive bidding was $50,000. The university had to post any project costing more than that for public bidding.

So for the majority of Rhoades’ projects, his company and others like it, had to submit expected costs and quotations for the work that needed done.

The university would then contract the company with the most competitive quote.

Pieter Wykoff, director of public affairs for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, said these changes came about because there was a section in Gov. John Kasich’s state budget that included public construction reform.

The Ohio Construction Reform laws, included in House Bill 153, went into effect in January and raised the competitive bidding threshold for public institutions, like OSU, from $50,000 to $200,000.

Ken Wayman, senior director of design and construction for OSU’s Facilities Operations and Development, said with the new changes, projects costing less than $200,000 can be contracted via purchase order.

“It will lower the cost of the project and it will let us complete the project more quickly because all contractors have costs associated with publicly bidding work,” he said. “If we don’t have to publicly bid, they can give us a lower overall cost.”

Wayman said that since December, the university has identified about 14 projects

With registration for Fall Semester classes opening April 30, many students might be struggling to meet with their academic advisers for various scheduling concerns.

As a result, some academic departments have recently adopted different options for students to ensure they get the advising help they need.

The College of Arts and Sciences normally offers walk-in advising Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., but has extended it from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. three days a week to accommodate students planning for the semester switch.

The Fisher College of Business offers 15-minute, same-day appointments the second week of classes through the seventh week. Thirty-minute evening and Sunday appointments are also offered, as well as a manager on-call daily for urgent questions.

Jacqueline Elcik, executive director of Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office of Fisher, said that while no new changes are being implemented, the aforementioned options serve as “things as part of the semester conversion that we’ve tried to be mindful and planful knowing that there would be more students than ever coming in to see us for appointments.”

On the current academic schedule, students say there is usually a point during the quarter where they all attempt to schedule appointments at once, often the cause of frustration for those anxious to see their adviser.

Joanie Randle is not your typical 52-year-old.

Randle is divorced, has four children and supports her family, but none of that makes her out of the ordinary. None of that makes her part of a nationwide trend, a trend of more and more students over the age of 50 heading back to the classroom.

Randle is a nursing student at Ohio State, returning to the education scene more than 30 years after graduating from high school.

“It was intimidating,” she said. “I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb, and I was really self-conscious about it at first.”

Randle decided to return to school after her divorce left her needing to support herself and four children, three of whom are college students. Randle graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in political science and worked until the birth of her first child. By the time Randle decided to go back to school, she had been a stay-at-home mom for 20 years.

Randle attended OSU for one year for her pre-requisite courses and transferred to Otterbein University in 2008. By the fall of 2009, she was back at OSU after being accepted into the nursing program.

Randle first contacted the Office of Continuing Education in 2007, to assist her with her education.

She later went through the Office of Admissions when she was admitted in 2009.

Corinna Owens works with non-degree seeking students as the assistant director of the Office of Continuing Education. Owens advises nontraditional students, which at OSU includes those aged 50 and older but also includes students who are significantly younger.

“We use ‘nontraditional’ and ‘adult’ to refer to those who did not directly enroll (in college) after high school, worked, joined the service, etc.,” Owens said. “They’re 24 years old or older … A

OSU’s non-traditional student numbers behind the times Despite a national surge of non-traditional students (24 years and older) over the last few years, OSU’s numbers have been on the decline. Here’s a look at who’s going back to school to get a degree.

lot of students earned their B.A. already and are working on graduate or master’s degrees.”

The latest data available from the National Center for Education Statistics reported that the number of students aged 50 to 64 increased 17 percent nationwide from fall 2007 to fall 2009.

Data reported by the Office of the University Registrar for Fall Quarter 2010 and Fall Quarter 2011 show fairly consistent numbers of non-traditional students at OSU. While Randle and other students might not be four years out from their high school prom, they said going back to classes began to feel normal.

Janel Carey is a 42-year-old student in strategic communication at OSU. Carey said one of the biggest differences between her and other students is the use of technology in the classroom. “(It’s) the difference in communication with one another,” Carey said. “People are always on their

phone or computer, and that’s hard for me to get used to. This generation is so introverted.”

Carey began pursuing a business degree at OSU in 1987, but left before completing her degree to work for Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc. While working, she took classes part time under the company’s tuition reimbursement program, but it was not until 2010 when she made the decision to attend college full time to receive her degree.

“Career-wise, it wasn’t a concern with that,” Carey said. “I’m going back to school for personal accomplishment. I want to be an example for my daughter.”

Ohio residents aged 60 and older also have the option of enrolling in the state-mandated Program 60, offered through the Office of Continuing Education.

campus Chumley’s moves onto High Street LAUREN CLARK Lantern reporter clark.1760@osu.edu With two locations in Indiana, Chumley’s will establish its third home on High Street near 17th Avenue with hopes to open just in time for the Spring Game.

Chumley’s has locations in Indianapolis and Lafayette, Ind., and Dan Schreiber, co-owner, said he’s always had his eye on Ohio State for a third location.

“I bought into the one in Lafayette, and since then, we always knew we wanted to open a third one and we always thought Ohio State would be the best place to go,” Schreiber said.

Although the bar will have 32 televisions and will show sports games, Schreiber said he doesn’t like considering Chumley’s exclusively a sports bar.

“We don’t like to say we’re a sports bar, we don’t like to be pigeon-holed,” Schreiber said. “So we like to say we’re all about comfort … people just come

here and they make it what they want it to be.”

Schreiber said part of that comfort comes from the drink and food options Chumley’s offers.

“We have 15 beers on tap and over 100 bottled beers,” Schreiber said. “We also have mixed drinks, wine, and food is a big thing with us, too.”

Schreiber said Chumley’s is an upscale pub and “burgers and wings are kind of what we’re known for.”

Chumley’s also has a shot list of 300 shots and offers more than 25 martinis, with various food and drink specials every day of the week, Schreiber said.

The bar will be open every day from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.

Zachary Blaner, a third-year in finance, said he is eager to go to Chumley’s for a couple reasons.

“Since I’m in a fraternity I will definitely go check it out as a potential venue for social events, but it’s also a new bar and restaurant on High Street, so it’s worth checking out regardless,” Blaner said.

Kristen Herlihy, a third-year in

strategic communication, said she is glad there will be a bar closer to where she lives.

“I am looking forward to having a bar close by now that I live on 17th,” Herlihy said. “The majority of the bars my roommates and I go to are a hike or cab ride away. I hope to see a good crowd out for the opening. I hope it has more of a hometown bar atmosphere.”

Schreiber said he couldn’t pass up the location.

“You can’t beat the location,” Schreiber said. “You can see swarms of people walking down 17th.”

Chumley’s will offer specials similar to other campus-area bars. Schreiber said Mondays and Thursdays are called Schooner Night, and customers can buy a 32-ounce refillable glass for $6 and get discounts on drinks, then you bring the glass back for the next time.

Schreiber said he looked at other places in Columbus because he wanted a good mix of customers.

“We couldn’t pass up this beautiful building,” Schreiber said. “We thought about the Arena District because we like

Schreiber said he is thankful to be here and hopes OSU finds Chumley’s as welcoming as Chumley’s found OSU. “We’re honored to be here at Ohio

State,” Schreiber said. “I’ve lived here since September and I’ve gotten to know a lot of the people, a lot of the different restaurant and bar owners, and I love all the restaurants and bars here. We’re just hoping to be a good fit for the university area.”

Kony 2012 plans to ‘cover’ the city ROSE ZHOU Lantern reporter zhou.371@osu.edu

Invisible Children Inc. visited OSU’s campus to raise awareness of the Kony 2012 campaign.

2A

Five representatives from the Invisible Children, Inc.— a nonprofit organization against the African child soldier crisis — traveled to Ohio State to promote its “Cover The Night” event.

The representatives discussed the controversy of the Kony 2012 video with OSU students Monday evening.

Along with the screening of IC’s second movie “Kony 2012 Part II: Beyond Famous,” the representatives, including a volunteer from Uganda, shared their stories and answered questions in the Great Hall Meeting Room of the Ohio Union.

Kony 2012 is a 30-minute online video designed to stop Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony from abducting children in east and central Africa by making him a household name around the globe.

“You and I, and everyone in the world, need to help with this case,” said Richard Olunya, a full-time volunteer for IC who just moved from Uganda two months ago. “We need to be united, like O-H-I-O.” The Kony 2012 video racked up more than 112 million views six days after being published on March 5, making it the fastest video campaign to surpass 100 million views in history, according to video analytics firm Visible Measures.

“It’s capable of causing such influence because it is a video that tugs at your heart strings,” said Katie Babcock, president of the Invisible Children OSU chapter, a second-year in psychology and human development. “It makes you want to take action, it’s inspiring and above all it is relatable.”

The OSU community will join the universal rally with the event Cover Ohio State with Kony to bring an end to LRA violence. Representatives from IC came to kick off a weeklong program with different themes every day,

leading to the action night this Friday. OSU students plan to join people around the world to cover their cities with Kony using provided posters, stickers and signs of Kony to make him famous.

“We serve locally to raise global awareness,” Babcock said. “There are already 300 kids in the group … We are having a planning meeting on Thursday to specify the ideas (of the event).”

However, some at OSU have questions about this event.

“The Kony 2012 video is very sparse on facts,” said John Quigley, professor of Moritz College of Law, specializing in human rights and international issues. “The video appears aimed more at organizing viewers through an emotional appeal. That said, there is good reason to accept the proposition that the LRA has committed atrocities as alleged in the film.”

Quigley said Kony and several other LRA

Kony from 2A leaders have been indicted by the International Criminal Court.

The African Union is organizing a military effort against the LRA, and the United States is supporting this effort. Nonetheless, with a group that is mobile and operates in remote areas, apprehending them is difficult.

“There exists a dichotomy between the context of situation as presented in the video, and reality in regards to Joseph Kony’s involvement in the

region as described,” said Evan Boylan, a third-year in anthropology. “Because of this, and for many other reasons, this campaign has been generally discredited.”

IC released the second installment of Kony 2012 campaign April 5. The video aims to respond to the criticism from general public and keep up the pressure to take action. “‘Beyond Famous’ is an excellent way to refute criticism, and to showcase the great qualities in the organization,”

on which it is using the less than $200,000 non-bid threshold. Some of these projects include lighting in the French Field House, room renovations in Howlett Hall and construction on the second floor labs in Caldwell Laboratory.

The total value of these 14 projects is more than $1.5 million, Wayman said.

But Wayman said the university will still give contractors opportunity for work.

“We’ll still seek competitive quotations, they just won’t be publicly advertised or publicly bid,” Wayman said.

Even companies contracted for the bigger projects, or those costing more than $200,000, would run into problems with the competitive bidding system, said Nathan Andridge, director of purchasing administration at OSU. Historically, Andridge said, contractors would come in with a bid, but their work would be halted because they would have to put subcontract work out to bid. This system, he said, was not efficient.

“Each phase takes time, so a lot of our construction projects were running over the time limit,” Andridge said. “They were running over cost. … You’re not necessarily getting the best workmanship either.”

Rhoades said sometimes contractors offering the most competitive quotes resulted in setbacks. This workmanship issue, he said, could be fixed with the new competitive bidding threshold.

“There’s a reason they took that threshold up, believe me,” he said. “I had to go in and clean up mop-up jobs from companies they got in off the street.”

But even with these changes, several university administrators said they didn’t think those “companies they got in off the street” would be without work.

“I think there were a set number of companies that could do this type of work before, and I think it’s going to be the same going forward,” Andridge said.

He said there might be about a 10 percent drop off of contracted companies, but due to the “construction boom” in Columbus, those companies shouldn’t have a problem finding work.

“There’s a lot of other work going on around the city,” Andridge said.

Adam Greger, a third-year in construction systems management, said these changes will speed up the construction processes. With the bidding process, it usually takes months or even up to a year for a project to start, he said.

“The time it takes to put together a bid … it’s kind of a gamble,” he said.

Wykoff said those with dissenting views of the changes were given a chance to complain in public meetings, which hardly anyone from the community attended.

“They had their chance to complain about it, but we still implemented the law,” Wykoff said. “We’ve tried to accommodate the (differing) viewpoints.”

But Rhoades agreed with Wayman and Aldridge that the competitive bidding changes will save the university time and money, and shouldn’t be a problem for quality contractors.

“It’s a good thing for contractors that can perform and get the job done,” Rhoades said. “If a contractor is a good contractor and he performs, he’ll get work … and that’s the way it goes everywhere.”

Corrections will be printed in this space.

Babcock said. “I hope it gets a lot of people out to support the cause on April 20.”

Quigley said he believes there is little factual evidence in the “Beyond Famous” film, just like the original video.

“It is not different than other cases that may be going on, but it is urgent,” Babcock said. “Not saying North Africa is worse than other cases, but that it is in the media right now, and that is a wonderful time to make a difference.”

“I think what happens is, when students are planning, that it’s very common for students to wait for the peak, and the challenge is that there is so many people waiting for the peak. I mean, you come in here week two and three and it doesn’t look anything like week one,” Elcik said.

Todd Bitters, administrative director of Arts and Sciences Advising Services, said there are other difficulties that arise with ensuring that students are able to meet with their advisers in a timely manner.

“Many times, students do not show for appointments. ‘No shows’ take up valuable time that advisers could be using to see other students, so students should always inform us if they cannot attend their scheduled meeting, as that opens up the appointment time for other students,” Bitters said.

It is suggested that students meet with their advisers at least once a year to review their degree plan, though more visitations are always recommended.

Many students, however, said they feel that advising availability can often makes visitations difficult.

Erica Hagen, a third-year in communication and psychology, often waits about three weeks to meet with her adviser. Although she admitted she sometimes makes appointments last minute, she still would like to see a few changes take place during the semester conversion.

“I hope there is a lot more ease in scheduling, maybe more walk-in hours, and just more accessibility,” Hagen said.

Alexander Szaruga, a fourth-year in music education, said he usually finds that he has to come to open advising hours after 3:30 p.m. because his assigned adviser isn’t available after that time and he is unable to come sooner due to student teaching.

Though he is graduating this spring, he said he thinks seeing more flexible times for advising would be beneficial, as well as reminders about the importance of the appointments.

Students from 1A students in this program attend university courses for free by permission of the instructor and when space is available, though they do not earn credit toward a degree.

While Program 60 is for students who have a personal interest in furthering their education without earning a degree, many of the nontraditional students that come through Owens’ office are looking to eventually transfer into a degree-seeking program. Owens said some students are preparing for a degree but want to raise their grade point average before applying to a specific program.

With the semester switch imminent, some students are having trouble meeting with their advisers.

“I would also hope to see a little more encouragement from the adviser to come in and see them,” Szarega said.

Despite the overall concern from students with Ohio State converting to semesters, Bitters said he doesn’t expect the change to significantly affect advising.

“I don’t anticipate that the new academic calendar will have any impact on the availability of advising appointments,” Bitters said. “We will maintain the same size advising staff for the same size student population, and the offices will be open the same hours.”

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

www.thelantern.com Non-degree seeking students made up about 2.9 percent of the student population in Fall Quarter 2011, and of these students, 65.1 percent were older than age 24, and about 10.8 percent were 50 and older, according to the Office of Enrollment Services.

Although Randle and Carey agree there are added challenges that come with being nontraditional students, both said returning to school was the right option for them.

“Why not go back if you have a dream and a desire to?” Randle said. “There’s no time like the present. You can do whatever you set your mind to.”

‘West Side Story’ is running through April 22 at the Ohio Theatre.

“West Side Story” is coming to downtown Columbus.

The touring cast of the Grammy award-winning musical, “West Side Story,” is performing at the Ohio Theatre. Its run started Tuesday and will conclude Sunday.

The love story of “Romeo and Juliet” puts a new face on the streets of New York City during the 1950s as tensions rise between two opposing groups: the Sharks and Jets. Maria (a Shark), equivalent to Juliet, is forced to choose between the man she loves, Tony (a Jet), and the Puerto Rican culture to which she belongs.

Ross Lekites, who stars as Tony in the production, said this is his first time acting in a production of “West Side Story,” and he is thankful to be surrounded by talented castmates.

“I truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to be introduced to ‘West Side Story,’” he said in an email.

Evy Ortiz, who is staring as Maria, one of her dream roles, has been in one other production of “West Side Story” with a regional theater company in Indianapolis.

As an American of Puerto Rican heritage, Ortiz drew on personal experience for inspiration for her character.

“My grandparents came to America from Puerto Rico in the 1950s and they’ve shared some stories

with me,” she said in an email. “I draw inspiration from parts of my life, of feeling nervous about being in a new place.”

Lekites said he didn’t approach his character based on the movie or original actor portrayals.

“I think the important thing to show in Tony’s character is his optimism,” he said in an email.

The audience can expect to hear songs from the original soundtrack, such as “Somewhere,” “America” and “I Feel Pretty.”

“Somewhere” is Lekites’s favorite musical number in the show.

“The song is about the hope that someday, somewhere, there will be a place for us to do what we want, be with who we want, without prejudice,” he said in an email.

Katie Howard, a third-year in theatre and journalism, said she has seen the movie “West Side Story,” but has never seen it performed on stage. She will be attending this production of the musical for a Theatre 674 class assignment.

“I think it would be cool to see it on stage live to compare it to the movie,” she said.

Andrew Factor, a second-year in theatre, said he is excited about the staging and choreography of this particular production of “West Side Story.”

“Leonard Bernstein’s music is complex, Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics are witty and the staging of this production in particular is different than any other production of the show to date,” he said in an email.

Tickets for the performance begin at $28 and are available for purchase at the Ohio Theatre Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets.

The plot thickens as GWAR makes a deal with the castle of death. Little does GWAR know that it must defeat a plethora of monsters to claim its new home.

This is part of the plot of the GWAR show, scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Sunday at Newport Music Hall.

The characters of GWAR are intergalactic space aliens that want to play music. Oderus Urungus is the lead singer and embodies everything that is good and bad in humanity and lead singers in general, said Dave Brockie, who plays Urungus.

“I tried to make him an archetype of everything that is wonderful and horrible about the human race,” Brockie said.

There are a few other characters that have been staples in GWAR since its 1990 album, “Scumdogs of the Universe.” There is Beefcake the Mighty, the hero, on bass. Jizmak Da Gusha on drums, who makes beds out of money, and Balsac the Jaws of Death, on lead guitar.

“Everyone’s character is kind of suggested by their own character,” Brockie said.

GWAR formed when Brockie, who was with the band Death Piggy, met Hunter Jackson. They all lived in the same old milk bottling building in Virginia.

Gwaaarrrgghhllgh was formed when Death Piggy put on Jackson’s costumes and played a three-song set before their show. After a few times playing, the band noticed audience members preparing to leave before Death Piggy performed.

“GWAR, or Gwaaarrrgghhllgh, literally ate Death Piggy whole,” Brockie said.

The band then changed its name to GWAR

and started producing its own music, videos and costumes.

“We are not just a band, we are a full-on production company,” Brockie said. “We produce all the costumes, all the props, all the videos, and now that we have the in-house recording studio, we do all our own recording as well.”

Back then, the members of GWAR were just having fun, but it blossomed into something no band member envisioned.

“If you would have told me 27 years ago that we would be just moved into a state-of-the-art recording and video fabrication office and graphics facility, I would have laughed in your face,” Brockie said.

GWAR’s style is a mixture of a lot of different things, but the lyrics are often political in nature.

“It has equal elements of thrash metal and punk,”

CD Reviews Train lays new tracks on ‘California 37’ HalIe WIllIaMS Lantern reporter williams.3948@osu.edu With summer well on its way, Train has created an ultimate California-style summer soundtrack to bring along on all upcoming road trips.

In Train’s sixth studio album, “California 37,” the trio toys with a new mix of sounds, yet it doesn’t stray far from the commercial pop-rock formula.

The opening track, “This’ll Be My Year,” a backtrack through pop culture moments from 1985–2012, is a slow, vapid start to the album and a disappointing complement of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” Along with the song’s array of cultural benchmarks come gimmicky one-liners such as “I stopped believing, although Journey told me ‘Don’t.’”

The lead single, “Drive By,” is surprisingly one of my least favorites of the album. It sounds extremely commercial and comes across as something I would expect to hear from boy bands such as Big Time Rush or One Direction. However, the single is unquestionably upbeat and catchy, as are most top-40 hits.

As successful as these cheerful anthems are, I can’t help but wonder if it is true Train-like formula.

It’s when the band strays from the typical pop sound, bravely manipulating its songs to head in a completely different musical direction, that you hear the band’s true strength.

The peak of the album comes when listening to “50 Ways to Say Goodbye,” which consists of a Spanish-influenced mariachi sound, another catchy tune and one of the select few of the album I actually enjoyed listening to.

The acoustic-driven song, “Feels Good at First,” has a gentler vibe than the majority of the songs, and is another highlight of the album. It’s during songs such as this one that lead vocalist Pat Monahan can show off his talent.

While “California 37” is undeniably catchy, its teenage-focused tracks are no “Drops Of Jupiter” or “Meet Virginia.”

GWAR from 4A Brockie said. “In addition, it’s got very politicallycharged lyrics, outrageous lyrics, violent lyrics — very provocative of history, current events, future events and the human condition. GWAR is a way to change, enlighten, inspire, entertain and hopefully terrify the s--- out of people that don’t understand us.”

Brockie said GWAR might not work if the characters were not eating puppies for breakfast.

“It wouldn’t go very well if it was GWAR and we were playing ukuleles on the beach in Hawaii,” Brockie said with a laugh. “Although it might work for a video if there were Brazilian swimsuit models there.”

GWAR shows are probably more comparable to a full-on theatre production rather than a rock show, Brockie said.

“It’s a full-on piece of performance metal,” Brockie said. “This band is a lot more like ‘Cats’ than it is Black Sabbath.”

Some fans said they love the experience GWAR’s stage show provides.

“GWAR is basically like a rock show on cartoons, but it’s 10 times better because you actually get to see a concert, get to be entertained and still be a kid at heart,” Dan Mizenko, a 2000 Ohio State alumnus in microbiology, said.

Fans wear white shirts to the shows with bullseyes drawn on them so they can get shot with fake blood. The more colors of blood someone has on their shirt, the more concerts they’ve attended.

“When you see fans with 20 different oozes of

Jazz from 4A “It’s an opportunity for students to really see world-class musicians right here on campus,” Dan White, a member of the OSU Jazz Ensemble and fifth-year in jazz studies, said.

White encouraged students to attend both concerts Thursday to see two sides of the jazz spectrum.

“The word ‘jazz’ is pretty wide open,” White said.

“These guys are both under the umbrella of jazz, but their music is very different. If (students) came to each show, they would experience an entirely different emphatic from each side that each artist comes from.”

OSU’s Jazz Ensemble featuring Richardson and Gardner will perform at 8 p.m. Friday in Weigel Auditorium, under the direction of Ted McDaniel.

Richardson, known as Dr. E., is a professor in the School of Teaching and Learning and associate faculty member in the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies.

Gardner will then headline his own show at 8 p.m. Saturday in Weigel Auditorium.

“It’s not every day you get to perform with such high-level musicians,” White said. “It’s definitely a great opportunity for us. It’s special for us to get to play with them and I hope people can understand how special it is to have musicians like this here.”

Prior to Gardner’s Saturday performance, there will be a free morning concert from 9 a.m. to noon in Weigel Auditorium. The concert will include many jazz combinations from the School of Music.

Jason Mraz’s new Neon Trees’ album album a labor of love paints summer picture I should preface this review by saying I am a big Jason Mraz fan. I haven’t met someone who doesn’t like “The Remedy.”

Mraz’s new album, “Love Is a Four Letter Word,” is my new go-to happy days album. The lyrics to almost all its songs are sweet or quirky, describe joyful emotions and seem to have been written while Mraz was at a high point in his life.

“I Won’t Give Up” is one of my favorites. I have been playing it on repeat ever since downloading it when it released as a single in January. The lyrics touch on relationships and how not everything comes easy, but if it’s worth it, you should be willing to work at it. The song’s melody is slow and sensual, which makes it perfect for romancing.

“The Freedom Song” is another great track. How can you not want to ride in the car with your windows down to this one, with lyrics all about being happy and finding joy in the small things in life? This song has a slight Bob Marley feel to it without being too reggae. It’s probably the swingy saxophones that give the song its cool, jazzy characteristic.

“love Is a Four letter Word” Jason Mraz

A

“Love Is a Four Letter Word” is a good mix of upbeat pop songs and ballad-style songs.

Not all tracks sound the same, which is something new for Mraz. He keeps his slightly alternative-folksy sound quality, but dips his toes in the pop genre without diving in.

In between all the happygo-lucky loving life songs, there are some that serve as a sort of social commentary, such as “5/6.” This track touches on how to raise children and live life with a laid-back outlook.

Mraz is not someone to be taken for a ladies man like John Mayer, but with these lyrics, women everywhere will be swooning. It’s the perfect balance of wit, charm and sensitivity that keeps his play on words from feeling too cheesy.

All in all, this album is genuine Mraz work.

cHrISTOPHer BraUN Lantern reporter braun.200@osu.edu Neon Trees, the trans-pop punk band who produced the top-40 hit “Animal” in 2010, brings the same electronic feel in its new album, “Picture Show.”

While the synth-’80s sound might not resonate with everyone, fans of the genre will take pleasure in the band’s new project.

The songs on “Picture Show” are highly catchy, though also heavily produced and autotuned, and a new hit single could easily be on the horizon for the Utah band. The album has a uniform upbeat style, perfect for summertime.

The album’s first single, “Everybody Talks,” closely follows the same formula of the band’s previous success, “Animal,” starting with a laidback, cool attitude followed by a catchy refrain and even catchier chorus.

American teenagers can find numerous additions to their 2012 summer playlists in “Picture Show.” The lyrics and beat bring a Southern-California, summerlove feel to the album, similar to an electro-punk version of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream.”

While there is an upbeat sound throughout the album, some songs stray from the happy

image of Hollywood and take audiences into the struggles that fame and fortune can bring.

Songs such as the angstridden “Teenage Sounds,” in which frontman Tyler Glenn sings about the troubles of making rock ’n’ roll in a pop world, bring some depth, but distract from the album’s many summer anthems.

Moving to an even darker place, the irony-driven “Hooray for Hollywood” chants the names of recently deceased celebrities (Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston to name a few) throughout the song’s bridge.

A lot of music fans might scoff at the often times simple and contrived melodies of “Picture Show,” but the album brings a great, warm-weather feel for general audiences to put the top down and enjoy the summer sun.

colors, chances are somebody is going to buy him a drink cause he has been to 30-plus shows,” Brockie said.

Others are more hesitant about attending GWAR’s shows.

“Those guys are crazy as hell,” said Graham Knackstedt, 24, from Westerville, Ohio.

But Brockie said everyone needs to see a GWAR show at least once.

“I guarantee you if you come see us once, you will come see us again, because it’s the greatest show on Earth,” Brockie said.

One thing GWAR loves to do when on stage is disemboweling celebrity dummies, such as Rush Limbaugh, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sarah Palin.

GWAR has also been known to impale celebrities, such as Paris Hilton and Lady Gaga. Snooki, from the reality series “Jersey Shore,” has been impaled on GWAR’s current tour.

Kylesa, Legacy of Disorder and Ghoul will accompany GWAR on its stop in Columbus.

“Legacy of Disorder, who drive all the way from New Zealand, somehow drove their Winnebago all the way across the Pacific Ocean just to do these shows,” Brockie said with a laugh, clearly joking.

Ghoul is Brockie’s favorite band on the tour due in part to it employing costumes and mild visual effects, he said.

“They are kind of like GWAR’s little brothers,” Brockie said. “They are really awesome thrash metal with a little bit of surf style.”

Tickets are $19 in advance and $22 the day of the show.

but we are making it fun as a jazz tailgate prior to the Buckeyes Spring Game,” said Tamara Morris, marketing and publicity coordinator for the School of Music. “Coffee, juice and donuts to the first to arrive.

The concert will conclude with a New Orleans-style ‘second line’ march down the Oval to the stadium.”

The Jazz Festival will conclude Sunday with the High School Jazz Bands Day that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Weigel Auditorium.

Tickets range from $6 to $18 for the general public and $4 to $15 for students with a BuckID for performances that aren’t free.

Softball freshmen make presence felt Andrew Williams Lantern reporter williams.3384@osu.edu Nobel Prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is a wonderful thing,” a statement Ohio State softball coach Linda Kalafatis and her Buckeyes could agree with so far this season.

OSU has started at least two freshmen in 36 of their 40 games, including 19 games where it has started three or more freshmen.

Kalafatis said it isn’t uncommon for as many as five freshmen to be in the game at any given time, depending on the situation.

Some coaches would have mixed feelings about playing so many young players in their first year of collegiate competition, but Kalafatis said she puts the best nine on the field and doesn’t worry too much about how they are classified.

“It’s the best players play, it doesn’t matter what class they are,” she said. “It just matters how productive they are, if they make adjustments, if they do what we ask of them and if they’re able to execute on offense and on defense.

If we’re putting them in the lineup, it’s because we think they can.”

Outfielder Taylor Watkins is one

of the players Kalafatis believes has been productive and has earned a regular place in the lineup. The freshman from Bonney Lake, Wash., has started 38 games in centerfield for the Buckeyes and is second on the team with a batting average of .361 from the leadoff spot.

Watkins said that while the transition from high school was not a big change for her, there was a noticeable difference.

“I don’t think it was that hard just because I played club and it was intense practices, so that prepared me for this,” Watkins said. “But it’s different coming from a high school team to college. It’s a lot more intense and the competitiveness is higher … but I like it.”

Freshman second baseman Maddy McIntyre has also played a key role, Kalafatis said. McIntyre, a California native, moved to second base this year after playing shortstop in high school, and has started 22 games there for the Buckeyes this season. She has a .943 fielding percentage and hit a walk-off, two RBI single to beat Dayton April 11 at Buckeye Field.

McIntyre said the biggest difference she’s noticed comes when the opposing teams are at the plate.

“For me, the pitchers kind of are the same. There’s not really any dominant pitching,” McIntyre said.

OSU freshman infielder Maddy McIntyre makes a toss to 1st base during a game against Dayton April 11 at Buckeye Field. OSU won, 3-2.

“The difference is how every single hitter in the lineup is good, and on defense we have to be ready for everyone. You can’t take anyone lightly.”

Senior shortstop and captain Alicia Herron said she doesn’t really look at the girls on the field by their class rank, but more as one unit working together. She said she knew there

were some good players joining the team this season and they have brought new energy while contributing to the team’s overall success.

“We knew we had a solid recruiting class and we were excited,” Herron said. “They came in right off the gun hot so it’s been fun. They’ve been working really hard for us and it’s been a good time.”

After one season as the Ohio State’s football team’s wide receiver coach, Stan Drayton is the Buckeyes’ running backs coach, returning to the position he once played as a three-time Division III All-American at Allegheny College.

In his first season under coach Urban Meyer, Drayton faces the task of replacing the team’s top running back from last season, Daniel “Boom” Herron, who ran for 672 yards in just eight games.

Drayton won’t have Herron to work with, but the team returns three running backs who combined for 1,090 rushing yards last season.

Carlos Hyde, a rising junior, ran for 566 yards this past season. Rising senior Jordan Hall ran for 408 yards as a junior.

Additionally, rising redshirt sophomore Rod Smith ran for 116 yards in his first season.

OSU’s stable of running backs also includes freshman Bri’onte Dunn, who enrolled at OSU in January and is participating in spring practices.

Drayton said all four of the players are competing for playing time.

“It’s open competition right now,” Drayton said. “We’re just trying to see who’s going to separate themselves.

Nowadays, you got to prepare at least three or four (running backs) to make it through an entire season anyway, so all of these guys are preparing to get

game-ready. As far as me setting the depth chart right now, I like to leave it open so these guys can continue to compete throughout the spring.”

Hall, who led the Buckeyes with 1,275 all-purpose yards last season, is expected by some to be the leader of the OSU running game.

Drayton said the coaching staff will use Hall in a variety of ways this season.

“We’re going to play into Jordan Hall’s strengths,” Drayton said. “He’s a guy who can be a versatile player for us.”

Drayton said he expects Hall to contribute as a receiver this season, but added that he thinks all the running backs should do so.

“He’s very, very capable,” Drayton said of Hall’s receiving abilities. “We may put a little bit more on Jordan’s plate, but all of my backs are going to have to get out there, get lined up at wide receiver, recognize coverages and play out there.”

Hall said he is uncertain how he will be used in the offense this year, but said he is looking forward to playing in the offense implemented by this year’s new coaching staff.

“I don’t know really what my role is yet, but I just know that the offense is more zone reads, bubble screens, screens … just getting in open space,” Hall said. “I like being in space, and this is the perfect offense.”

Drayton said he has been very impressed with Hall’s maturity this spring.

OSU junior catcher Greg Solomon celebrates with teammates at homeplate during a game against Nebraska April 13 at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium. OSU won, 10-2.

Ohio’s erratic, day-to-day weather conditions are nothing like the sunny, cactus-filled deserts of Arizona. The two states are separated by almost 2,000 miles and the Rocky Mountains, so it’s no shock the climates are quite different.

However, when five Arizona natives willingly leave the year-round warm weather to play baseball in the often-unpredictable climate of Columbus, it’s surprising.

Ohio State sophomore Jaron Long and juniors Greg Solomon, Tyler Giannonatti, Brian King and Kirby Pellant all left “The Grand Canyon State” to play ball two time zones away for the Buckeyes coach Greg Beals.

“I just came because I wanted to get out of Arizona,” Solomon said. “I wanted to come to a D-I university that had a good program.”

Solomon, a catcher, was the first of the five to make the decision to come to Columbus when he left Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix after the 2010 season.

As a junior college transfer, he said he wanted to go somewhere where he knew he could play and at least have the opportunity to start.

He said he felt OSU was a good fit because then-starting OSU catcher Dan Burkhart was leaving for the pros and Beals was taking over for retiring OSU coach Bob Todd.

Solomon started 46 games last season for the Buckeyes and has started 24 of OSU’s 35 games this season.

The other four “Arizona Buckeyes” transferred just a year later from junior colleges as well.

Pitchers Long, Giannonatti and infielder Pellant, all transferred from Chandler Gilbert Community College in Chandler, Ariz., while King came from Paradise Valley like Solomon.

“I feel like I should get some sort of finders fee for these guys,” Solomon said with a grin.

“I mentioned (King) to the coaches last year and I don’t know if they had already thought about going out there, but I feel like I was the instigator of these guys.”

King, a pitcher for the Buckeyes starting eight games this season with a 5.08 ERA and 3-3 record, acknowledged it was easier making the decision to come to OSU knowing his junior college batterymate was already there.

The same can be said of Giannonatti and Pellant, who not only went to the same junior college, but also won the 2009 Arizona Class 5A state championship together at Corona del Sol High School in Chandler. “(OSU) came out and they offered me and they offered (Giannonatti), and it was like, ‘If he’s going, I’m going,”” Pellant said.

Beals said it definitely helps the recruiting process when players are recruited in pairs.

“They’re coming a long way from home,

studentvoice Is 2pac hologram a vision of things to come?

LANTERN columnist

KYLE HENDRICKSON hendrickson.1087@osu.edu

A quick rundown of the thoughts that crossed my mind as I watched the video of Tupac Shakur’s performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Sunday: He’s alive!

This is pretty awesome, this is kind of creepy and I forgot how good 2pac’s music is.

It was nice to get a throwback to the golden era of hip-hop as 2pac (Shakur’s stage name), took the stage with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, though the late 2pac was in hologram form. And it happened on the same day Nicki Minaj deleted her Twitter account — this had to represent some sort of win for the genre.

But the bigger story to take from all of this is the impact this kind of

technology can have on the world of entertainment.

Dre and Snoop are talking about taking Holo-Pac on tour. Does this mean we can also expect a tour headlined by the likes of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Whitney Houston, or Michael Jackson in the future? It sounds silly, but considering the reception that 2pac received at Coachella and the almighty dollar that could be made from such performances, it would seem to only be a matter of time before we see these icons resurrected for performance.

Part of me is excited for the possibility. The other part of me, the part with respect for the musical legacy and integrity of these deceased artists, is dreading it. Because what will start as a way to honor the life and career of the individual will quickly go down the path of a shameless money grab. As the technology becomes more accessible, surely we’ll see a digital Jimi Hendrix showing up at every rock club around the country. Where do we draw the line in determining what is being done for the fans and what is being done for money while simultaneously tarnishing a legacy?

There is a sort of mythical essence to a musical artist dying young. We can look back fondly on their legacy and ask the question of “what if?” regarding

their careers. Musicians can become even more famous posthumously than they were in life. Their legacies are eternal. But while it would be cool to see Amy Winehouse perform again, wouldn’t we rather remember her based off our memories of her career? Sure, it would be great to see The Beatles reunited. But isn’t there something immoral about exploiting their work?

And how would the artist feel about it if they were actually around to comment on it? The term “rolling over in their grave” seems appropriate in these circumstances.

It does not have to only pertain to those who are six feet under. In order to maximize the appearances of today’s celebrities, could we see holograms being used so even living celebrities could appear in two places at once?

Maybe Kanye West starts performing concerts in three different cities each night. Katy Perry shows up for five different public appearances a day. A whole new revenue stream opens up from this advance in technology. But I am not sure it is a good thing.

The appearance of 2pac at Coachella seemed to have the right intentions. It was for the fans and it was to honor a legend. I would like to see it stop there, but I believe it is a slippery slope and I am sure it will be the start of a landslide.

Students should be afforded mental health days to let bodies heal properly

Musicians play during a rehearsal of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, the “Symphony of a Thousand,” at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Feb. 4.

Don’t cue exit music on classical greats without giving them a listen beforehand SARAH MOFFITT Lantern columnist moffitt.34@osu.edu Rap, pop, alternative, rock. These and countless other genres of music have become popular in today’s culture. A look at the Billboard Top 100 list would reveal such artists as Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and many other popular artists.

However, upon perusal of this list, not a single song from the classical music genre appears. This isn’t surprising, but it does indicate our society’s rising disinterest in classical music.

It’s upsetting that a genre of music that serves as the basis for all modern music has become so obsolete. It seems that many people, especially children and teenagers, don’t know classical music or don’t appreciate it. One of the only ways they might recognize some of the most famous classical pieces is through its use in the media. Cartoons, commercials and even movies will sometimes use these pieces. However, the music is often “adjusted” a bit, which totally discredits the great composers who wrote these pieces.

Personally, I think classical music is extremely important, and as a violinist, I have developed a love for orchestral music. The magical quality about it is simply the vast range of emotions you experience whether playing or listening. Also, classical music has been proven to be beneficial. It seems to improve mental capacity to an extent.

According to a Stanford University study, musical training and reading fluency had strong correlations, meaning students with more musical training made faster improvements in reading fluency than students without musical background. They aren’t certain whether music actually makes you smarter, but these leads seem very intriguing.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Ludwig van Beethoven, Antonio Vivaldi, Sergei Prokofiev, Gustav Mahler and many more composers should play a more prevalent role in our society. These composers are the epitome of “true music.” Their prominence in history is well-recognized and their music is very impacting. If more people would give these composers a chance, maybe classical music could make a comeback.

Until then, people should just try attending a concert and see what they think.

In “Where Have All the Neurotics Gone?” a Sunday opinion article from The New York Times, Edward Shorter, author of “The Rise and Fall of the Nervous Breakdown — And How Everyone Became Depressed,” stated during a discussion on the effects psychiatric conditions have on the body: “They feel it in their body; they’re fatigued, they have these somatic aches and pains, the pit in the stomach — it’s experienced in the whole body.” Sick days for the mental health community, to be used when suffering from those physical symptoms, seems an obvious accommodation colleges and universities should provide for students.

Each course on this campus has an allotment of sick days, a policy almost sacred to the student, through which those with medical reasons for missing class are allowed the

right to heal before being put to the academic tests of collegiate life. Yet, a student with a mental health condition, who wakes up in pain, physically ill and disabled, has little way of avoiding those traps of intellectual measures.

Before I go any further, I must say, I am not claiming a sick day can heal a mind. What I am saying is that when a mind has left an effect on a body, not allowing the body time to heal — the relaxation response in stress analysis — only furthers these ills.

Mental Health America, one of the nation’s foremost mental health advocates, states depression creates the physical symptoms like chronic pains (that don’t respond to treatment), digestive disorders — stomach pain, diarrhea and constipation — fatigue and loss of energy, which in part lead to difficulty concentrating, remembering and making decisions. These physical effects also hold true for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders. Those living with post-traumatic stress disorder, including many returning veterans, face a combination of these symptoms as well. Each case is different, and many mental health patients also experience headaches, tightness or burning in the chest, muscle cramps and lower back pain.

Given the staggering barriers to equal footing, it is easy to see the need for addressing these

physical illnesses, regardless of their origin.

In some cases, the need for excused absences is provided. “(The office) works with students who have mental health conditions by advocating for them as appropriate when their disabilities impact classroom attendance,” said Lois J. Harris, director of the Office for Disability Services.

“This is done on an individualized basis since the needs of the students and the requirements of the class, especially as it relates to attendance, can vary greatly.”

To ingrain these services into the collegiate culture, which could greatly increase access to and awareness of this service among students — who might remain unregistered due to the fear of societal stigma — would require distinguishing between healthy and in-need students, under very complicated medical scenarios.

Constructing universal registration and pre-approval guidelines would be a daunting task in and of itself, to say nothing of deciding how these days could be used, how many could be used each academic term and what would qualify for sickday coverage.

Yet if were we to go through the trouble of establishing this generalized right, I hope to think it’s benefits to the student body would far outweigh its challenges to our university administrators.

Spring a time to cut losses, move on to new challenges

Wednesday April 18, 2012

LIZ KERNS kerns.114@osu.edu

LANTERN columnist

Spring is a time of massive re-evaluation. The birth of all things new invites a wind of hope into our thawing spirits and with it brings a sense of care-free joy. Not that all things “spring” are positive: the endless climate changes paired with the frustration of new class schedules, new deadlines and new worries to carry on our backs (atop our checking account’s worth in textbook expenses) are enough to keep us locked in winter mode, bundled up in the same sweatpants we’ve worn for three days straight, eating what’s left of our ancient grocery store endeavor, cooped up inside watching “Workaholics” all day.

Spring bares the highest of highs and lowest of lows of all seasons, collectively, and when hot and cold collide, catastrophic storms ensue.

I find it increasingly difficult to get out of my seat and break the icy-coated comforts of wintery fireplaces and hot cocoa. It’s true, I admit it; I don’t want to roll out of bed in the morning, despite the inviting warm weather and the sound of child’s laughter rustling through blossoming tree branches. But

why? Many of the people I have seen and conversed with over the past month have mentioned similar habits, which makes me wonder: Why are we all so inclined to waste our springtime away inside?

As the summer’s edge draws near, the end is just within reach. Which means the recent outbreak of carelessness and lack of motivation couldn’t have plagued campus at a worse time of year. This being a time of high-stress and important dates and deadlines, it is important to self-motivate. If you’re anything like me, you’re more than likely wondering who ever could

manage so arduous a task in this gorgeous weather. Luckily, I have been gathering wisdom from having undergone many drastic changes myself these first several weeks of spring. I have drafted a full-proof survival guide to you, aspiring reader. May all your springtime endeavors be drenched with inspiration and positive perspectives; hope is all around us.

They don’t call it “spring cleaning” for nothing.

The sun is dancing through the separations in the blinds, calling you outside and away from your responsibilities. Stop!

Take a look at your weekly planner. If the last time you updated it was a week before winter finals, it’s time to start plotting out your daily schedule.

Writing out your agenda on a daily basis can help you keep your life compartmentalized and orderly.

Organizing your life also requires organizing your personal living space. It’s time to finally unpack those suitcases that have been sitting in the corner behind your bed from spring break.

As hectic as everyday college

life is, making time to arrange your living space reaps surprising rewards. You might recover something missing from months before, or even decide to go as far as redecorating your room. As time-consuming and back-breaking as it was to nail bedsheets to my ceiling, draping fabric over my formerly plain walls gave me a kick of inspiration at the idea of waking up to something new every day. My room is clean and reordered. That “fresh start” feeling is important to harness when approaching a pivotal season of change.

Cut your losses.

You lost your job. You got removed from a group because you couldn’t meet the stringent member requirements and your boyfriend of two years ended it out of nowhere over a text message. Take the time you need to grieve, and get over it.

Life does not stop for anybody.

If winter got you in hermit-mode, it’s time to step up and take out the trash. Clean out all the clutter that is holding you back from getting where you want to be. Make some new goals to aspire to like joining an intermural

sports team in your quest for fitness by summertime. Try going to a new group meeting to meet new faces, or reach out to an old classmate to meet up and recover lost time.

The important thing is that you took the time you needed to grieve whatever did not work out for you last quarter, and that you’re finally taking the bold steps you need to move forward. Cutting your losses is important to your mental health and awareness, as they will be of use to you in the coming weeks for midterm exams. If you are struggling to move past what you could not control, remember that whatever challenges you face, somebody has always faced worse, and lived. Pain is not forever. When in doubt, a Khalil Gibran quote to keep with you: “Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for eternal wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.”

Become a “yes” man (or woman).

The seasonal rotation of the world reminds us that time and energy are constantly moving; we

are to be no exception. Changing times call on us to change our perspectives and evolve. In seeking evolution within myself, I learned the power of the word “yes.” I have attended concerts, gatherings, games, festivities and services and met too many people to count through my newly christened sense of adventure and attitude as a go-getter. Quality friendships are not earned fast, but what’s the harm in starting friendships with new kinds?

You never know what you might pick up that could be of use to you in some way.

Networking is what landed me a summer internship, and it’s as simple as stepping outside your comfort zone to try something new or make a new friend. Next time a friend invites you to hot yoga three hours before class, instead of making excuses as to your limitations on time, make the effort to say “yes” and accept the challenge. All things might happen for a reason, but all good things are found if you are willing to take the risk to find them.

OSU then-sophomore running back Carlos Hyde breaks a tackle during a game against Colorado Sept. 24, 2011. OSU won, 37-17.

Hall from 1B “I’ve seen an unbelievable change,” Drayton said. “The leadership and the toughness, both in the weight room and on the field, that was already there, but he’s taken it to another level.”

Drayton said he also has big expectations for Hyde this season.

“Carlos’s progression is going to be very significant to our run game,” Drayton said. “We need Carlos to take his game to another level so he can contribute to this football team. He’s too talented not to.”

Hyde was not made available for comment.

Drayton said he expects Smith to have a bigger role this fall.

“I’m very confident that (Smith) is going to make an impact for this football team,” Drayton said.

Drayton also said he has high expectations for Dunn.

“I think his future is going to be really, really bright around here,” Drayton said.

Hall was asked whether he thought opposing defenses would be able to stop the OSU offense this fall.

“Not if we execute,” Hall replied.

OSU will kickoff the 2012 Spring Game Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

it’s nice to have a little bit of a comfort zone there,” Beals said. “It helps that they know they’ve got a buddy here or they’ve got another buddy coming with them.”

Long, a three-game winner with a 2.31 ERA, was the last of the five to sign with the Buckeyes. He said knowing that Pellant and Giannonatti were already committed to OSU made his decision easier, and he is glad they were here when he arrived.

“When you come to a school this big and you don’t really know anyone, it’s intimidating,” the Buckeye pitcher said.

“But you have these guys that you’ve been friends with, so until you find new people to hang out with, you’ve got somewhere you can go with people you already know.”

When the two prominent baseball programs in Arizona don’t come calling, the state’s high school baseball players are not left with many options.

“In Arizona, there’s two schools: Arizona and Arizona State,” Beals said.

With eight national championships between them, The University of Arizona and Arizona State University have rich baseball histories and many of the state’s high school players dream of playing for the storied programs. But when they’re not offered the opportunity, they can feel slighted, like Pellant.

“If you don’t go there or get offered there, you kind of have a hatred toward them,” OSU’s team leader in steals (19) said. “That’s what makes you want to leave Arizona to get somewhere else.”

For many, the platform “to get somewhere else” is Arizona’s junior college baseball.

“If you don’t go to one of those two schools, a lot of kids go to junior college,” Beals said. “It is such more of a prominent

avenue for high school kids there than it is here in the Midwest.”

“The JUCO baseball out there is good competition,” Pellant said. “Guys are getting drafted every year and it draws a lot of universities out there. OSU heard about it and went out there.”

The five players said they are happy that OSU gave them the opportunity and said coming to Columbus was the right choice, aside from maybe the weather, they all said jokingly. They said at times, they can’t believe they’re playing for a school like OSU. “Ohio State comes out and recruits you and it’s kind of like, ‘Dang! OSU wants me,’” Giannonatti, who’s yet to appear in a game this season, said. “You see (OSU) on every channel every day, it’s a big school.

It’s almost an honor to come here.”

Solomon said being a Buckeye has made him notice things he didn’t before.

“Whenever I go back to Arizona, I notice the ‘Block-O’ more than I did, before I saw it everyday,” Solomon said.

“Knowing that there’s people all over rooting for you, I think is pretty cool, and I’m glad that I got to come here.”

Pellant agreed and said it’s awesome knowing there are Buckeye Nation fans everywhere that love them.

“They don’t know you, you don’t know them, but they support you every minute of the day,” Pellant said. “That’s special.”

The “Arizona Buckeyes” have been a vital part of OSU’s team this season.

Pellant and Solomon, the only everyday players of the five, have started a combined 59 games for the Buckeyes while Long and King are part of OSU’s improved starting rotation, each winning three games.
