It’s not hard to find anti-CampusParc rhetoric on the Internet or on campus, but CampusParc representatives said it’s all a matter of misperception. David Teed, CEO of CampusParc, said the negative public perception of CampusParc is based on false assumptions about the terms of the concession agreement. “One of the perceptions … is that CampusParc, or QIC, is a for-profit organization that is somehow going to be gouging the users of the OSU parking system, when neither are we that kind of an organization, nor do we have the rights to affect pricing at all,” Teed said. CampusParc is a private company that manages parking services at Ohio State. The university agreed to a 50-year lease on its parking assets for the upfront price of $483 million. QIC Global Infrastructure, an Australian investment firm, placed the bid and created CampusParc to operate the parking facilities. The deal was finalized and approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2012. The $483 million paid to OSU came from the pool of pension funds which QIC manages, so CampusParc’s monetary goal over the 50 years of the agreement is to make back that money, plus inflation, by 2062 in order to maintain those pensions, Teed said. CampusParc President Sarah Blouch, who led OSU’s Parking & Transportation prior to the CampusParc agreement, said while CampusParc is responsible for maintaining and upgrading university assets, it will get the cash flow that comes from them in return, including the profits from the sale of parking passes and hourly parking fees. The agreement caps the rate increase on parking at 5.5 percent annually for the first 10 years. After 10 years, rates are set to be capped at 4 percent or a rolling five-year average of inflation, whichever is greater. “The university has always set the pricing, continues to set the pricing, and for the next 50 years will set the pricing,” Teed said. Teed said CampusParc does not necessarily want price increases because it is riskier to charge more as a pension manager, but OSU figured price increases into the $483 million contract. David Hoover, spokesman for CampusParc, said the annual price increases for parking permits were more sporadic before the concession agreement, as much as 10 percent. “The benefit now is that the price is

pre-established, so it’s not going to be a surprise year after year,” Hoover said. Teed said the pricing of parking fines, which are handed out by CampusParc, is also specified in the agreement, though any money earned from fines goes to OSU. “By excluding the revenue … we’re not going to be wrongly accused of trying to profit from writing citations,” Teed said. Blouch said the net revenue from parking citations is passed on to the university after expenses are deducted. Since there is no profit for CampusParc in enforcing fines, Hoover said issuing citations is a “necessary evil” because it keeps parking spaces open for those who paid for passes. Andrew Smith, a third-year in operations management, said he received a $54 fine recently for using his purchased pass with a car that wasn’t registered to it. “They swarm around in those cars that look like the ‘Jurassic Park’ jeeps, so if you’re out of place, they’ll get you,” Smith said. Smith said he successfully appealed the fine for a reduction and only owed $6.

“I’d say (CampusParc employees are) annoying because they take their job so seriously, but (aren’t) unwilling to help you out if you need it,” Smith said. Meghan Wood, a second-year in exploration, said CampusParc is overzealous in enforcing parking policy. “Sometimes there are too many hoops to jump through and rules to abide by just to be able to park,” Wood said. Teed said, though, CampusParc doesn’t control parking policy. “The university controls parking policy, just as it always has,” Teed said. Teed said misconceptions re-emerged when it was announced Buckeye Village’s parking would no longer be free, a decision which CampusParc did not control. “(People) just assume that because parking is being privatized, the private company has control of these things,” Teed said. Buckeye Village residents were told by OSU last month that parking passes would cost $150 for the 2014-15 academic year for lots that were previously

reach 163, some students unfazed BRANDON MERRIMAN Lantern reporter merriman.65@osu.edu

The number of mumps cases at Ohio State has hit triple digits, but some students said they’re not concerned. As of Tuesday afternoon, 163 cases have been reported in Franklin and Delaware counties, 103 of which are linked to the OSU outbreak, according to a Columbus Public Health release. That’s 10 more total cases and three more OSU-linked cases than what had been reported as of Monday. Of the OSU-linked cases reported as of Tuesday, 80 are students, nine are OSU staff, one is a family member of an OSU community member and 13 are people with community ties to OSU. Of those affected in Franklin and Delaware counties, ages range from 9 months old to 69. Six of those diagnosed were hospitalized. The onset of the first case connected to the Franklin County outbreak was Jan. 7, while the first case connected to OSU was Feb. 10. Hank Rumpke, a second-year in mechanical engineering, said he was worried he caught mumps after spring break. “It turned out it was just strep,” Rumpke said. “I was really freaked out since I was already behind on classes, and I would have had to leave school because I was contagious.” Those infected were advised by Columbus Public Health to stay home for five days after symptoms begin, and anyone who wasn’t vaccinated was encouraged to receive two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to protect themselves. Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for Columbus Public Health, though, said in March those who have received two doses of the MMR vaccine still have a 10 to 20 percent chance of being infected. Some OSU students, though, said they haven’t been taking any precautionary measures. Jacob McCollister, a second-year in economics, said he doesn’t think he’s interacted with anyone who has mumps and isn’t worried. “I don’t interact with many large groups outside of

New cheer Housing standards program making headway housing safety issues coach aims to Off-campus Top 3 issues found by the OSU Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program: grow program 1. Smoke alarms 2. Furnace and water 3. Too many electronics ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu

Ben Schreiber’s future vision for the Ohio State spirit program is simple: Head back to square one and move on together in support of the Buckeyes. “My vision for the program is just to start from the ground up,” OSU’s new spirit squad coach said in an interview with The Lantern Tuesday, a day after he was named for the job. “There’s been a lot of talented coaches that have been there previous to me now, and I just want to get to know the individual athletes as we have tryouts this weekend.” Schreiber — who is set to be the next permanent head coach after former cheerleading coach Lenee Buchman was fired Nov. 25 “for cause” after a sexual harassment probe involving former assistant coaches and athletes — is slated to return to his alma mater, where he cheered at OSU from 2004-07. He spent the past five years as the head cheer coach and fitness coordinator at the University of Delaware. “It was definitely bittersweet leaving Delaware, it’s such a very talented program,” Schreiber said. “But I just felt like this was an opportunity that I didn’t want to pass up.” Under Schreiber’s leadership, the Blue Hens secured the 2014 Universal Cheerleaders Association Division I Large Coed National Championship, after the team finished as runners-up each year from 2010-13. “Ben has all the qualities we were looking for in our next head coach,” said Martin Jarmond, OSU executive associate athletics director for administration and the cheer program’s administrator, in an OSU press release Monday. “His experience and success as a head coach and his passion for Ohio State and developing studentathletes holistically make him a perfect fit to lead out spirit program.” Schreiber said he believes his success at Delaware makes him the right man to lead the Buckeyes spirit squad. “I do think I’m the right man for the program, for the fact of my résumé, being already a Division I collegiate coach for five years, winning a national championship

CAITLIN ESSIG Managing editor for content essig.21@osu.edu In an effort to prioritize student safety, an Ohio State program is inspecting about a dozen off-campus homes a day. The OSU Office of Student Life’s Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program conducts home visits, where representatives from Neighborhood Services and Collaboration and the Columbus Division of Fire visit students’ homes to make sure the properties are up to par. So far, they’ve noticed three common problems in campus homes, involving smoke alarms, furnace closets and electrical outlets. From the time the program was established in November through Jan. 26, two home visits had been conducted. Lately, however, program coordinator Alex Sanchez, who conducts the visits, said the pace has picked up. About 60 home visits had been conducted as of Friday, but that number jumped to 125 by Tuesday, Sanchez said. Students can schedule visits online at times that are most convenient for them on weekdays between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., although most days in April are almost or completely booked, according to the program website. Landlords can also opt-in to the program, which would entail Sanchez and his team visiting all units of the particular landlord or company. Sanchez said the program currently has about 12 companies signed up, including University Manors and Buckeye Real Estate, as well as “a few that are still waiting to submit their paperwork.”

During the visits, Sanchez uses a checklist “developed in collaboration with the Office of Student Life, parents, students and landlords and the Columbus Fire Department” to assess the properties. Following the visits, the information he gathers will be posted on Student Life’s Neighborhood Services and Collaboration website to provide current and future students the information to “make informed decisions about future housing needs,” Sanchez said. Sanchez said he sees three common issues when inspecting students’ off-campus homes. “The top three issues we’re seeing is smoke alarms without batteries, or (with) dead batteries or missing batteries,” Sanchez said. “The landlord has to provide, by law, a (working) smoke alarm for each level including the basement. “Other than smoke alarms we’ve seen, (in) some of the off-campus housing there’s not a lot of storage space, so students might store items in their furnace or water heater closets, which is a big fire hazard … we try to work with the student to move that stuff out of there.” He said the third common problem has to do with students plugging too many electronics into electrical outlets, or “piggy-backing” several extension cords on one another. He said, however, that’s the reason the program exists. “The whole point of the program is to reduce the risk as much as possible,” Sanchez said. Wayne Garland, president and owner of Buckeye Real Estate, said although his company is now signed up for the program, he was initially “very much opposed to it.” “I didn’t really think it would achieve the goals they were trying to establish,” Garland said. “But they were kind enough to meet with me and go over things, and it

got to the point where I thought (the program) would be beneficial to the community, university and students.” He said he was initially turned off by the program because in the past, he has felt his properties were unfairly reviewed when inspectors would indicate ratings on a scale from one to five, with five being the best. “A church we just did on Norwich was brand new everything, sprinklers, all the safety requirements, and did the preliminary assessment and got a 4 or a 4.5 and I just thought, ‘How do you ever achieve a 5?’” Garland said. “My God, these things are beautiful, and they only got a 4.” He said ranking properties on a scale alters the judgment of a property’s actual quality. “The perception is if you see a 2 or a 3, while it may be fine, your immediate perception is it’s a rat hole,” he said. Garland said he wanted the program to stay away from ratings “so you’re just reading through a sheet and checking off whether (the property) has each (requirement).” He said he hasn’t been very involved in the Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program since Sanchez and the fire division representative went into some of his properties, although they have been to a few of the properties in the last week or two. Garland said he hasn’t seen any data from the findings of the visits. “It’s a program that I hope is beneficial for the entire community and we’ll see how it goes,” Garland said. “Hopefully we’re all striving for the same things.” Vice President for Student Life Javaune AdamsGaston featured the program in her weekly column March 30, noting that students moving off campus

campus Electric motorcycle team Buckeye Current members in it for ‘pure passion’ ALEX DRUMMER Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu One student organization at Ohio State is preparing to race teams with $1 million budgets. Buckeye Current, OSU’s electric motorcycle team, is getting ready to compete in the 2014 Isle of Man TT Zero, a racing competition. The team of 27 active members built an electric motorcycle to compete for the first time last year and placed in third, said Brendan Kelly, a fourth-year in industrial and systems engineering and team member. “A lot of the teams we compete against are actually professional race teams, so they have million dollar budgets, they do this as a full-time job. We kind of just do it — we don’t do this for any class credit. We don’t do it for anything like that. It’s pure passion,” Kelly said. Buckeye Current’s bike is estimated to cost about $40,000 in parts, Kelly said. He said technical improvements have been made to the main frame of last year’s bike, which was built in a period of about nine months. “Last year, we had a lot of trouble with ground clearance and lean angle, where our rider kept scraping up the bodywork and the actual battery pack metal, which is bad because if he can’t lean over as far, he has to slow down on turns, and that cuts a lot of speed,” said Polina Brodsky, a second-year in mechanical engineering and team member. “We’ve also added one more battery cell on there that wasn’t there last year to get more energy on board,” she said. Improvements to the cooling system have also been made, and there have been efforts to cut the weight of the bike, Brodsky said. “It is 30 pounds lighter than it was last year, so that was big for us,” she said. These adjustments, though, come at a cost. Buckeye Current seeks donations and sponsors in

Some companies donate parts or services directly, such as free 3-D printing, and some local sponsors give cash. The OSU College of Engineering also gives funds to match donations received, Kelly said. Along with financial costs, hours of labor are needed to complete the project. “I put maybe 30 to 40 hours per week in,” Brodsky said. “(But) seeing the finished product makes all those ‘not sleeping’ nights worth it.” Building an electric motorcycle versus a traditional bike has its own challenges, said Julia Cline,

a fourth-year in electrical and computer engineering and team member. For an electric motorcycle, the team must put three things together — an electric motor, a motor controller and an “endless supply of configurations of batteries” — in place of a gasoline engine, Cline said. Despite the challenges, Cline said people might soon be seeing more electric motorcycles on the street. “This country may be just finally starting to get out on the right foot of green energy — renewable energy,” Cline said. “It’s definitely on the rise.”

The 2014 Isle of Man TT is a two-week festival held on a 37-mile course on the Isle of Man, which is a small island between the United Kingdom and Ireland. The race Buckeye Current is participating in is set to take place June 4. Cline said last year there were 14 competing teams registered, but she doesn’t yet know how many there will be this year. The competition itself is free to enter, and the students who participate pay for their own plane tickets, Kelly said. He said the bike, though, costs about $5,000 to ship because it goes by boat, so the total cost for the trip — including shipping the bike, housing for the students and ferrying to the island — is about $12,000. That cost is covered by the sponsors’ donations and the College of Engineering’s contributed funds. Regardless of the race results, though, Cline said “the experience has been incredible.” “I have learned so much — not just about my field of engineering but about all of the different disciplines and how they are integrated into this project,” Cline said, adding that the skill is one that will likely come in handy in the future. Kelly said his experience in Buckeye Current has given him a skill set beyond engineering. He said it has helped him develop his “soft skills,” by writing press releases, communicating with sponsors and running the social media for the team. Brodsky said the most rewarding part of the experience for her has been the learning and teaching. “We’re all undergrads, so at most people stay on this team for four years, and then they leave,” she said. “It’s not only about being really good at what we do, but it’s about teaching other people on the team to be just as good as you, so that when you graduate, this team can still exist.”

CampusParc from 1A free. This amount is lower than the $402 or $620 that had been talked about before residents protested the change. The decision, though, was made by the university. Operations of the parking areas are actually managed by a contractor, LAZ Parking, whom CampusParc hired, Teed said. “CampusParc is obligated to deliver a parking experience in accordance with OSU’s standards,” Teed said. “CampusParc contracts LAZ to deliver a parking experience on exactly the same terms. So, if LAZ isn’t performing, our job is to manage LAZ before the university manages us.” LAZ did not respond to an email requesting comment. Teed said CampusParc keeps track of customer satisfaction through surveys, though it’s careful not to ask questions about circumstances it isn’t responsible for, like the number of parking spaces centrally located on campus or traffic issues outside parking garages. Hoover said, however, CampusParc is involved in a transportation study currently being conducted by OSU, so its input is being considered in the future regarding these problems. “The benefit of having … operators who wake up every morning thinking about parking is that they … advocate for the realities of accessibility of parking lots,” Hoover said. “It’s evidence of that partnership

Mumps from 1A class. I don’t eat at the dining halls or anything, so that probably helps my confidence level,” McCollister said. Tony Birri, a second-year in engineering and physics, said he hasn’t taken any preventative measures either. “I know about the dangers (of mumps), but I don’t know anybody with it,” Birri said. “Since it hasn’t personally affected me, I’m not concerned about it. I probably should be more concerned about it, but I don’t think about it on a daily basis.” Some students who have been diagnosed with the mumps received up to $400 for donating their blood plasma at a company in Indianapolis, which was

that operators here are at the table and bringing some things that might otherwise not be considered because they deal with them every day and monitor those kinds of patterns.” Interim OSU President Joseph Alutto said in a Sept. 23 interview with The Lantern construction on parking facilities had led some to blame CampusParc for inconveniences administered by OSU. “We’ve heard people complaining that it’s more difficult to get parking. And of course they blame the new vendor, but the vendor had nothing to do with it,” he said. “These were decisions we (the university) made. Parking that needed to be taken out of commission to allow us to do, for example, mass construction equipment and will be returned to the university in terms of availability within the next year.” The agreement between OSU and QIC is the first of its kind between a public university and a private company, Teed said, and the public perception of how it funds parking infrastructure improvements is still being smoothed out. “When a pension fund talks about investing in a toll road (in the U.S.) it is seen as … a negative, rather than as a win-win as we see it in (Australia),” Teed said. “The (infrastructure) debate in America hasn’t caught up yet, so while America acknowledges daily … how the infrastructure sucks, the reality is that they haven’t completed the thinking on how to fund infrastructure yet.”

In a March 31 interview with The Lantern, Interim President Joseph Alutto said OSU is creating a group to look at how the university handled the mumps outbreak. “We as an institution need to think more carefully about what we can do,” Alutto said. “Now an outbreak has occurred, you can try very easily to keep people apart, but there’s a limit to what you can do in that regard, so I think we need to learn from this because there’ll be other problems with infectious diseases.” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

and being very close to other years on the competitive side,” Schreiber said. Schreiber — who is set to earn $43,000 in base salary, just three dollars shy of what Buchman was set to earn after receiving a 1 percent raise last year — said he did not know many of the details regarding the sexual harassment investigation that led to the firings of Buchman and former assistant coaches Dana Bumbrey and Eddie Hollins. He said all that’s on his mind is what’s next. “I don’t know all the details that happened in the past with the coaching staff and the teams,” Schreiber said. “I’m just really kind of excited to come into town, put my stamp on the program and kind of move forward from all the issues that happened in the past.” Schreiber is set to take over for interim coach Steve Chorba, who took over for Buchman the day she was fired in November. After the announcement of Schreiber’s hiring, OSU athletic spokesman Adam Widman told The Lantern in a Monday email that “no staff decisions have been made at this point,” including whether Chorba will be retained by the university. Schreiber — who said he applied for the open position instead of being approached by OSU about it — echoed that statement Tuesday and said he doesn’t officially start working for OSU until Wednesday. “I have my first meetings and things (Wednesday)

Housing from 1A should make sure their house or apartment is “safe, secure and sustainable.” “Signing a lease is a major step,” Adams-Gaston wrote. “It not only confirms where you will live, but it is also may be one of the first binding, legal contracts you will be asked to sign in your life. It’s important to have the best information possible before you make that commitment.” According to the program’s website, its goals are to “reduce off-campus risks and hazards by providing students with information and strategies that enhance personal safety and home security, lower utility costs and raise environmental awareness by promoting sustainable living and help students and their families make well-informed decisions about off-campus housing options.”

morning, so I’m not really aware of anything that’s going on,” Schreiber said. “I do know that a search is underway for an assistant coach … but I don’t know any of the plans regarding the interim coach or there’s no official assistant at this time.” Buchman was fired after she was found to have had “several serious lapses of judgment and leadership” by OSU Director of Athletics and Vice President Gene Smith while she was coach of the squad, according to an email obtained by The Lantern. Bumbrey and Hollins were terminated in May following an OSU investigation, which found “sufficient evidence” both had violated the school’s Sexual Harassment Policy. That policy defines sexual harassment as “unwelcome sexual advances” and “requests for sexual favors,” among other things. Schreiber said he wants to make sure new recruits and members of the team are “buying into the idea and the philosophies” he looks to establish with the spirit program. Getting everyone to do that is key to getting the program back to where it should be, Schreiber said. “One of my main philosophies is I want to be the best, and I want the athletes in the program to be the best,” Schreiber said. “So we’re always going to be striving to get better. One practice at a time, one stunt at a time, one game at a time. We’re always going to be seeking for self-improvement to grow as individuals, to grow as a program.”

A representative from University Manors said the company has signed up for the program, however, no home visits have taken place in its units as of Tuesday. Sanchez emphasized the importance of education in students’ understanding of the best ways to keep their off-campus living environment as safe as possible. He added that he hopes to see other universities following OSU’s lead, as there are few programs similar to the Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program at other institutions. “A lot of other universities have called us also asking about the program and how it’s worked, asking us for some tips and advice on how to start similar programs, so we’re hoping that it spreads across the country because there’s nothing more important than student safety,” he said.

studentvoice LTE: Students should ‘pay it forward’ with education access Letter to the editor: I remember the exact moment I chose Ohio State. I was 17, accompanied by my dad, driving through campus on a rainy Friday night. March Madness seemed to have captivated everyone: Fans in jerseys lined the streets, regardless of the fact it was barely 40 degrees. This display of community commitment and prideful spirit is what propelled me to become a Buckeye. It was overwhelmingly apparent that OSU was not a place affected by apathy or complacency. At the beginning of my sophomore year, amidst a wide array of involvement opportunities, I discovered a group of students developing an organization called Students For Education Reform, or SFER. At the time, SFER sought to educate fellow college students about the disparities in America’s public education system. We planned and coordinated events that highlighted the opportunity gap in K-12 schools that exist along racial, socioeconomic and community divides. Over the past three years, I have had the honor of watching SFER grow into a fully functioning student organization and

transform into an organizing movement. We have also attracted a diverse and passionate group of students along the way. This semester alone, SFER has held approximately 20 events, most recently, a town hall in the Linden community with partners including the NAACP, StudentsFirst and state senator Charleta Tavares. The issue of educational inequity hits close to home for me, and because of the like-minded people I met at OSU, I was inspired to act. It is never far from my mind that in my hometown, only 9.3 percent of adults have obtained a bachelor’s degree. As college seniors, looking forward to graduation should fill us with excitement, but also a sense of continued purpose. Earning an OSU diploma is a privilege still out-of-reach for far too many students. Right here, in Columbus City Schools, the range of graduates going on to a two or four-year public college is only between 20 and 54 percent per school. These students reside within 10 minutes of one of the best universities in the U.S., yet many will never reap its benefits. This statistic is unfair to our students, our state and our nation. OSU has a rich culture of service, philanthropy and community. With a motto like “Pay-it-Forward,” there is no better act we all can take than to pay forward our access

to a world-class higher education. It is the one common thread that unites us all as Buckeyes. If you are still a student, take the time to volunteer at a local school, participate in a campus visit day, enroll in a social justice class or attend a Students For Education Reform event. For those of us saying goodbye to OSU and beginning lives in new communities, we have the opportunity and responsibility to leave our public education system better than we found it. Whether this means voting for a school levy, attending a community meeting or maybe one day serving on our local school board, we all can, and should, act to uplift the students who will come after us. Because we attend OSU, we can credit at least one individual for transferring our dreams of higher education into reality. Therefore, as our shared Buckeye experience instills in us, we can never pay it back, but we can always pay it forward.

LTE: Support dialogue on Israeli-Palestinian conflict Letter to the editor: Though I once had a narrow view of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, after exposure to a fellow student’s Palestinian heritage, my eyes were opened to the Palestinian narrative. This led me to spend a summer at the Arava Institute in Israel, which focuses on environmental cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians. At the Institute, I worked on a water desalination project to improve water quality in the Gaza Strip, and I lived in a community of Israelis and Palestinians and forged meaningful relationships with my supposed “enemies.” I am Jewish and an outright supporter of Israel, yet I fully acknowledge the current situation between Israelis and the Palestinians is not sustainable. I advocate for the advancement of peace and cooperation for all people of the region, both Israelis and Palestinians.

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement aims to delegitimize the entire State of Israel through boycotts in the international arena. This has manifested itself in boycotts of any products and companies that have associations with Israel, as well as the American Studies Association’s motion to boycott all Israeli academic institutions. Though the Ohio State administration rightfully rejected this boycott, the BDS movement is slowly creeping onto the OSU campus. I applaud the OSU administration’s impressive display of leadership and oppose any new university policy advocated by the BDS movement for two reasons: It is not practical for OSU, and it will not bring peace to the Middle East. OSU forms partnerships and purchases goods that service its best interest, not because of its political associations. To alter OSU’s policy because of these associations would be extremely costly. Until the supporters of BDS are ready for OSU to abandon our

$32 million deal with Coke (sold in all Middle Eastern countries), cut ties with the State of Ohio (bought $42 million of Israeli bonds), and delete their personal Facebook pages (Facebook recently purchased an Israeli tech company for $200 million), they leave me with no other option than to expose their undeniable hypocrisy. BDS approaches this issue from a divisive stance, which makes a just solution harder to obtain. In an attempt to target inequitable water use, the BDS movement initiated a push to boycott Merkorot, the Israeli water utility company. And yet, the status quo of water resources in the region is unchanged. Meanwhile, organizations and academic institutions like the Arava Institute are actively cooperating with Palestinian organizations to enhance environmental conditions to bring immediate, positive change for Israelis and Palestinians alike. While BDS continues to focus its attention elsewhere on efforts to tirelessly bash Israeli institutions, the real change-makers from

both sides are actively engaging to bring real solutions to the people that need them most. I have much respect for Palestinian supporters who use constructive means to advocate on their behalf. I have no respect for BDS and tactics employed by either side that further the rift between the two viewpoints. To those who are not personally invested in this issue, I urge you to support dialogue and oppose BDS to demonstrate what being a true Buckeye is all about. To those who are personally invested in this issue, I urge you support dialogue and oppose BDS, and instead embrace interaction with the opposing viewpoint. It’s time for the many voices of moderation to take charge, and to engage in purposeful discussion based in mutual respect. Matthew Frankel Third-year in environmental engineering frankel.43@osu.edu

The Who rock opera ‘Tommy’ to hit Short North Stage AMANDA ETCHISON Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu Flashing pinball machines, costumes straight out of the 1960s and soaring riffs on the guitar transport audiences of The Who’s rock opera, “Tommy,” to the golden age of English rock ‘n’ roll. The musical shares its name with The Who’s 1969 album, “Tommy,” and is set to be performed by the Short North Stage, a local professional theater organization housed at Columbus’ Garden Theater, Thursday through April 27. “It sort of fuses two things together … This love of this music and this rock album that a lot of people grew up with,” said Edward Carignan, the director of this Short North Stage production. Carignan, who spent 12 years in New York City as a professional performer, said he has directed two performances of “Tommy” in the past and thought the show would fit well into the Short North Stage’s 2013-14 season. Created by The Who guitarist Pete Townshend and featuring the music of the band, “Tommy” is the life story of Tommy Walker, a young man struggling with the aftermath of witnessing a horrific act of violence as a child. This experience leaves Tommy deaf, dumb and blind. He is seen as a catatonic boy misunderstood by his relatives and community. Yet Tommy finds his place in life once he begins playing pinball. Despite his inability to express himself emotionally or verbally, Tommy rises to fame as a “pinball wizard” and accepts his role as a cult hero. “The first act focuses on how a boy with catatonia who has these special needs sort of fits into a community that doesn’t know how to accept him,” Carignan said. “And in the second act, it examines the responsibilities of rock stars.” The musical is underscored by several familiar songs from The Who’s albums, including the 1969 single “Pinball Wizard.” Invoking the musical style of the English rock band is an integral part of successfully performing the show, but also one of the biggest

OPINION

(‘Tommy’) is a very wellconstructed story and the storytelling using (The Who’s) album is very creative and insteresting. Edward Carignan Director of Short North Stage’s production of ‘Tommy’ challenges for musicians, said Tim Valentine, the musical director for “Tommy.” “The challenge was really staying true to The Who and making sure our band was a rock band that was really going to produce a show where the audience felt like they were in a rock band environment, even though they are in a theater,” Valentine said. The band performing the music for the show consists of eight musicians, two of whom are Ohio State students. Valentine, who previously ran the OSU Arts Scholars Program for four years and now serves as the alumni program manager in the College of Arts and Sciences, said he enjoys incorporating OSU students into his ensemble whenever possible. “Half of my job is finding the right people,” Valentine said. “I make sure to hire really good musicians … really passionate musicians that care a lot about performing to their best, so I’m lucky that I work at Ohio State and get to work with students that really do care about performing to their best.” Aside from those in the band, other OSU students are participating in the upcoming show, a trend that Rick Gore, executive producer for “Tommy” and a founder of the theater company, and Carignan said they hope continues in the future. “We are increasingly connecting with OSU students, both as attendees and as participants at the theater,” Gore said. “We’re a little away from the (OSU) campus, but not that far.” Tommy Batchelor, a first-year in dance at

The cast of ‘Tommy’ rehearses for the Short North Stage performance. The show is set to be held at the Garden Theater in Columbus from April 10-27. OSU, is performing in the show as a featured dancer. Batchelor said he performed in the Tony Award-winning musical “Billy Elliot” on Broadway and in the first national tour when he was 13. He came to OSU to study dance and became involved in the Short North Stage after auditioning for the cast earlier this year, he said. “I had heard quite a bit of the music from the show and knew a bit of the story, and figured it would be a very interesting production to be a part of,” Batchelor said in an email. At the beginning of the second act, Batchelor has a dance solo during which he portrays a pinball. The solo choreography is challenging, but the experience of performing as a featured dancer is ultimately rewarding, he said. “Since we have a fairly small cast, we all have to play several different roles,” Batchelor

Lily Allen, Kelis worth cruise across the pond

Chvrches is set to perform at the Glastonbury Festival, which is slated to run June 25-29 in Somerset, England.

MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu Ready your rowboats folks, because this summer’s Glastonbury Festival in Pilton, Somerset, England, is a setup for which it might be worth floating abroad. (Plus, if it’s like the 2013 edition, festival-goers who attend by public transportation or an otherwise green means receive prizes, including discount food vouchers — grab the canoe.) The 2014 Glastonbury, scheduled for June 25-29, is bursting with artists seldom seen nowadays, including the likes of Blondie, and the refurbished Lily Allen. If any hopes were raised for an OutKast or a Neutral Milk Hotel set, it could be potentially unfortunate that the majority of artists that seem to be doing a circuit of the U.S.’ festivals aren’t making it over to the U.K. for this one. There are still a few that can be captured on both sides of the Atlantic, like Arcade Fire, Disclosure or Jack White, but largely it seems Glastonbury is slated to be really one-of-a-kind. Those who were able to nab one of the now sold-out threeday passes (they were being sold for 160 euros, around $220) are in for an experience they can rightfully brag about. (There is a resale scheduled for later this month, though, when those that decided they can’t make it anymore are choosing to sell back their tickets.)

Cutting out most of the bands that proliferate American festival lineups, below are five that set Glastonbury apart. 1. De La Soul Just this past Valentine’s Day, hip-hop group De La Soul shared its whole discography for free during a one-day download frenzy to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its 1989 debut record, “3 Feet High and Rising.” Needless to say, I downloaded all of it. Though I’m still delving into a lot of the catalogue, it has become clear the group is an expert at meshing together innumerable samples with introspective, smart lyrics. To boot, this festival gig might be the soonest possible date to hear fresh material from De La Soul’s record-in-theworks “You’re Welcome.” 2. Kelis Listening to breakout hit “Milkshake” from 2003 is so odd, especially when contrasted with R&B singer Kelis’ new single “Jerk Ribs.” While the former could be found to be a sultry — albeit catchy — piece on bringing boys to the yard, the latter, a single from her upcoming “Food” album, is on a neo-soul spectrum, showing organic arrangement and production technique. Kelis actually sounds older now, which I’m into and I encourage her to “do” her, but you best believe I would be yelling for “Milkshake” the whole set anyway.

Kelis is set to perform at the Glastonbury Festival, which is slated to run June 25-29 in Somerset, England. 3. Blondie This batch of new wave New Yorkers, named after frontwoman’s Debbie Harry’s bleach-blond hair of the band’s mid to late-’70s heydey, churned out tons of unforgettable tunes, ultimately pushing the band to become an icon of sorts for its genre. There’s “Heart of Glass,” “One Way or Another” and “Dreaming,” among a plethora of others, most of which I can hardly imagine won’t be making an appearance at Glastonbury. 4. Lily Allen With the announcement of her third-full length “Sheezus,” due May 6, singer Lily Allen has contributed to whipping this year into shape with another anticipated release. I don’t think she’ll ever catch up to her snarky singledom that was 2006’s “Alright, Still,” but without much from her since 2009’s “It’s Not Me, It’s You,” (she went on a hiatus to focus on family) there was a void of in-your-face wit in pop music that I feel we all were suffocating in. Now she’s back to fill it again, thankfully. 5. Chvrches I cheated a little bit in adding Chvrches here, as the Glasgow, Scotland, synthpop trio have several stops in our country before Glastonbury, including a show in Columbus in June. They still deserve the recognition — their 2013 debut record “The Bones of What You Believe” is 12 tracks of pure, hook-after-hook ear candy. With one listen to album-opener “The Mother We Share,” it will all make sense.

said. “The most difficult one for me is definitely the pinball. The dance solo is very difficult to perform, but it is tons of fun.” Valentine said the technical rigor of both the dancing and the music are two aspects of the show that he thinks audiences will appreciate. “This is the biggest dance show that we’ve done at the Short North Stage,” he said. “The dancing and the rock music … I think those are the two big reasons to come see the show.” Carignan agreed and hopes the audience will be pleased with the show. “(‘Tommy’) tends to be something very enjoyable and visceral,” he said. “(The show) has a lot of artistic value.” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

OPINION

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should stick to rock ‘n’ roll DANIEL BENDTSEN Senior Lantern reporter bendtsen.1@osu.edu

As if including ABBA and Grandmaster Flash wasn’t enough, the already cluttered wall of signatures at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is set to grow again this week, when nine new inductees will bring the grand total up to 728. Those tapped to receive the honor Thursday include Cat Stevens, Daryl Hall and John Oates, Nirvana, KISS, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Andrew Long Oldham, The E Street Band and Brian Epstein. These people have helped shape the radio soundscape of the last half century, and of course, their impact on popular music is substantial. Herein lies the problem: Honoring every pop music icon shouldn’t be the purpose of the hall. Rock ‘n’ roll isn’t a genre. It was a movement. “Was” as in “It is no longer.” Rock ‘n’ roll is dead and I’m not the first to say it. Like ragtime and romanticism, it was a thing that happened, and it’s over now. But what did happen was nuts and deserves a museum. It was a time when black and white music came together and kids ran out to the bars to see what the fuss was about. It was loud. It was new. Somebody threw a backbeat on some 12-bar blues and it blew people’s minds. Elvis gyrated his hips on television, and everybody’s parents lost it. “What’s this horrible din?” shouted a million dads while looking at lawnmowers in their Sears-Roebuck catalogues. Figuratively, it was the time when America had found its older brother’s “Playboy” and snuck into its parents’ liquor cabinet. But the Hall of Fame is trying to have it both ways: Curating a bygone American movement while staying fresh. The former serves a purpose and the latter brings in a bunch of money. But either way, it’s a terrible mistake to make pop music and rock ’n’ roll synonymous. No matter how much people like Cat Stevens’ songs, it doesn’t make since for him to share floorspace with Little Richard and Chuck Berry. When the Hall began inductions in 1986, it served a purpose: To canonize what happened in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and to immortalize those who made it happen. And ever since then, the Hall has moved further away from that purpose, instead choosing to add some big names in pop music each year so they can host a big ceremony and try to get a video to go viral of something like Grace Slick and Lindsey Buckingham jamming on “The Weight” with a John Mayer guitar solo. C’mon, it’s over guys. There are other options. Just stop inducting people. It’s that easy. If a museum of Picassos ran out of paintings to include, they wouldn’t freak out and start buying up Warhols. They would just say, “Well I guess there are no more Picassos that we can get.” And that’s OK. So please, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have a little dignity. Somebody, somewhere will probably still come to look at Fats Domino’s shoes or whatever you have there. If not, just change your name to Popular Music Hall of Fame. I’m cool with that.

Buckeye baseball downs Eastern Michigan, 8-1 NICK DEIBEL Lantern reporter deibel.30@osu.edu One of the most important things a team has to do to succeed is win the games they are supposed to win. The Ohio State baseball team has done that all season long, and Tuesday was no exception in its game against Eastern Michigan. OSU (19-13, 2-7) won its ninth straight non-conference game against EMU (10-19, 1-8) defeating the Eagles, 8-1. While the win was good for the team, coach Greg Beals said after two straight weekend sweeps losing against Indiana and Nebraska, he would still like to see his team play at a higher level. “I told the guys afterwards that I don’t think we played a whole lot better than we played over the weekend, we got more hits but you’re playing a Tuesday mid-week game, you’re going to get more hits than against a weekend rotation pitcher,” Beals said. The Buckeyes’ starting pitcher freshman Zach Farmer threw 7.0 innings, only allowing two hits and one run and tallying three strikeouts. The win gives Farmer a team-best fifth win of the season. “I just settled down and threw what I knew I had, I went through my mechanics slowly and I just threw fastballs in there for strikes,” Farmer

diving catch in right field in the ninth inning to accompany his three hits and one RBI at the plate, said he felt good about his performance against EMU. “I’m starting to finally get comfortable, I felt real comfortable tonight I just have to keep grinding it out,” Porter said. “My swings felt good all year, really it’s just seeing the ball up, taking advantage of mistakes and I did that really well tonight.” Beals said Porter’s effort showed – diving for the ball is exactly what he wants to see from each of his players. “I don’t care how many hits he got, I’ll take that catch in the ninth innings of a seven-run game because that tells me how he’s playing, that tells me where he’s at— he’s locked in and he’s playing the game,” Beals said. After Leffel’s single, both teams’ bats got quiet – neither team would post a run until sophomore first baseman Zach Ratcliff hit an RBI single to give the Buckeyes their final run of the night. Freshman pitcher Curtiss Irving entered the game in relief of Farmer in the eighth, throwing two scoreless innings with one hit and three strikeouts. The Buckeyes are scheduled to return to action Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. against Dayton at Bill Davis Stadium.

OSU won, 8-1. said. “Everything was really on point today.” Although Farmer’s game isn’t perfect, Beals said he is pleased with the progression of his young pitcher. “He’s one of the best left-handed pitchers in the state of Ohio and that’s why we brought him here and we were fortunate to get him here,” Beals said. “He continues to develop, he still needs to work on controlling the running game, he still needs to work on just being a little more efficient, but other than that his stuff is dominating.”

A leadoff triple by redshirtsophomore utility infielder Nick Sergakis initiated a massive third inning to get the Buckeyes’ offense going. OSU produced five runs in the inning, including an RBI single by junior outfielder Pat Porter to score Sergakis. The offense did not let up in the next inning, scoring two more in the fourth after a two-run RBI single to right-field by redshirt-sophomore infielder Ryan Leffel, bringing the score to 7-1 in OSU’s favor.

OSU dodgeball team set to host national tournament ERAN HAMI Senior Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu A national tournament is coming to Ohio State. The sport involves throwing a round ball. If you guessed baseball, you’re wrong. The Ohio State club dodgeball team is set to host the sport’s national tournament at the RPAC Saturday and Sunday. Ohio State (6-5) is a founding member of the National Collegiate Dodgeball Association, which started in 2002. OSU has attended every national tournament and has two championships, 2005 and 2006. The Buckeyes have played in three tournaments so far this season including the Round Robin tournament at OSU, the Redhawk invitational at the University of Miami University (Ohio), and the Ohio Dodgeball Cup at Kent State University. Jeff Starr, a second-year engineering student and club dodgeball member said OSU should have won more games this year and that the team is better than its record reflects. He is expecting a good result this weekend at nationals. “I think that we will actually do amazing,” Starr said. “We’ve been really close with a lot of the top teams and a lot of those tournaments, we didn’t have all of our guys. We weren’t all 100 percent. I think everyone is going to be ready to go, 100 percent.” Currently there are between 25 and 30 active members, coach, and OSU alumnus, Jude DuPart said. DuPart said not all members travel to tournaments because of midterms or scheduling conflicts, which is the reason some teams play more matches than other teams. “It really varies on how much traveling you can do. So the teams up in Michigan that are a stone’s throw away …

there’s four teams up there that are all about two hours to 30 minutes away from each other,” DuPart said. DuPart said the biggest benefit of having the tournament at home is getting more players involved. “We’ll definitely be able to see a lot more kids get out there and play,” DuPart said. “A lot of kids have other obligations and can’t make the travel commitments to be able to play and see a large competitive style game.” Aside from not having to travel, Starr said another advantage of hosting the national tournament in Columbus comes with team members having the comfort of sleeping in their own beds. “Last year, we were sleeping on a motel floor, so having our own beds will be nice,” Starr said. OSU team captain Josh Connor, a

As the outdoor track season enters the third week of competition, the Ohio State women’s team relies on the strong performance of underclassmen to help motivate and improve the overall team morale. The women’s squad contains a group of student-athletes with strengths across the board, ranging from freshmen all the way up to seniors. Despite this, coach Karen Dennis said the strong work and performance from the underclassmen motivates the entire team to be better. “When they can come in and give us an immediate impact, that makes everyone better,” Dennis said. “As long as we can keep (the underclassmen) improving and add the strength and experience of our juniors and seniors, that is really going to make the whole team just that much better team.” An underclassman who has specifically shown a strong performance is sophomore hurdler and sprinter Alexis Franklin. Franklin was named the 2013 Big Ten Outdoor Freshman of the Year, but rolled her ankle during

Then-freshman hurdler and sprinter Alexis Franklin clears the hurdle during the Big Ten Championship May 12 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. the first meet of the indoor season, the Buckeye Classic at the French Field House in January. “It was devastating,” Franklin said of her injury. “It killed me to see everyone out there running, when I wanted to be out there running with them.”

Franklin said having to sit out all indoor season was really hard because she is not one to “sit back on the sidelines.” “This is the sport that I love, so it was really hard to just be a spectator versus a competitor,” Franklin said.

However, it motivated her to work hard during her rehab and get healthy again so she could come back strong and ready to run come outdoor season. And that she did. In her debut of the outdoor season at the Yellow Jacket Invitational, she took second in the 400-meter hurdles, snagging a time of 59.40 seconds. The following week at the LSU Battle on the Bayou, Franklin came in first in the 400-meter hurdles finishing second in the long hurdle with a time of 58.65 seconds. “I am so happy to have her back,” Dennis said. “She is such an amazing athlete. We really missed her contributions indoors, but look forward to it outdoors.” Franklin said she could not be happier to be back running with her teammates. When she was on the sidelines, one of the hardest parts of the injury was not being able to help the team. “I love being a part of a group of women that puts in the hard work to be the championship team that we are,” Franklin said. “(Being an underclassman) gives me more time

sports March Madness doesn’t always represent game’s best SPORTS columnist

I absolutely love the NCAA Tournament. Nothing comes close to beating it, in my eyes. The hustle, the close games, the heartbreak and jubilation — it is the ultimate sporting event. But it’s certainly not without its flaws. The Connecticut Huskies defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 60-54 to be crowned National Champions Monday night. But does this really make them top in RYAN COOPER the country? cooper.487@osu.edu Obviously this is a massive accomplishment. UConn’s second national title in four years is something most fans can only dream about. But is it fair that surviving the tournament is the sole mark of the nation’s best team? The problem I often have with the tournament is that it is a simple reflection of which teams got hot at the right time. It’s not like that’s not a problem in other sports (look at the New York Giants’ two most recent Super Bowl wins, both of which saw the Giants playing on Wild Card weekend), but the tournament is so much easier to get into than the playoffs in other sports. Look at Ohio State basketball this year. It was a mediocre team, plain and simple. It had no semblance of an offense, no go-to scorer, no interior presence, and seemed to only excel at defending inbound passes. But the Buckeyes easily made the tournament. Dominating their exceptionally weak non-conference schedule and squeezing out a

Franklin from 6A to get better each year, (staying) hungry for winning anything that I can.� Another strong underclassman is freshman sprinter Aaliyah Barnes. The native of the two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin’s alma mater, Eastmoor Academy, said she was reluctant at first to come to OSU, although her family members are huge Buckeye fans and encouraged her to lean toward OSU. She joked that during her other college visits, her mom would wear OSU spirit wear spanning from an OSU jacket, all the way down to her tennis shoes. Barnes said she’s grateful that she was swayed by her family’s love for OSU. “Some schools, it’s just track. You are only there for one thing, to run,� Barnes said. “But our coach is more of a family-type person, it’s more than just a team.� Barnes said the most encouraging aspect of the coaching staff is how the coaches want to see each athlete grow as women and not just as track athletes.

few big conference wins was enough for 25 victories, a lock to get in, despite a 10-8 record in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes didn’t find the magic that UConn did, though, as their season came to a close in their first tournament game against the No. 11-seed Dayton. But what if OSU had figured out how to score late in the season? If the Buckeyes had managed to get hot and make a tournament run, could you really say that a team that lost twice to Penn State was one of the nation’s elite teams? I don’t think anyone could watch its offensive strategy of passing the ball around the perimeter for 30 seconds and argue that. UConn finished the regular season ranked No. 18 in the AP Poll, just four spots better than the Buckeyes. Its season featured some good wins over Florida, Memphis, and Cincinnati, but despite 32 wins, it was still only good enough to earn a No. 7 seed. Kentucky didn’t even finish the season ranked in the AP Poll, although its name can be seen in the “others receiving votes� column. Are these the teams that can be narrowed down as the two best in the country? I realize basketball is more than just stats and polls, and the postseason is what it’s all about, but is it possible that winning the tournament creates an overrated legacy just a little? I’m not saying there’s a better way to determine the season’s champion. But when you look back on this season 10 years from now, will it be easily recognizable that Wichita State didn’t lose a regular season game or Arizona, Florida, and Syracuse spent a combined 15 weeks at No. 1? No, the only thing you will see will be UConn claiming the national title. I am not trying to take away this tremendous accomplishment by the Huskies, but is it right that a few weeks in March and April completely wash out an OK regular season?

“Having a team and running for someone else, not just yourself, makes me want to do better,� Barnes said. Dennis said she doesn’t place a ton of expectations on the incoming freshman, but was impressed by the nature of Barnes’ character and drive to be a great competitor. “(It’s) a rare quality for a freshman to come in with no sense of fear and just be excited to race every weekend and excited to be in practice every day,� Dennis said. “She just appreciates everyday wearing the scarlet and gray.� Barnes cruised to first place in the 400-meter dash in the last meet at the LSU Battle on the Bayou April 5 with a time of 53.58 seconds. She, like Franklin, has made an impressive debut to the outdoor season. “My goal is for (everyone) to know who I am by the end of the year,� Barnes said. The women’s team is off this weekend, but is set to return to action at home in the Jesse Owens Classic April 18.

Dodgeball from 6A second-year in logistics management, agreed with Starr that home court advantage is a big deal, especially in a big tournament. “With any sport you’re playing in, having the crowd behind you will win you the momentum. Having your friends and family behind you goes a long way,� Connor said. Starr added it’ll be nice to hear cheers for the home team. “We definitely get a lot more home fans cheering for us and not for the other teams, that’ll help,� Starr said. DuPart said OSU finished fourth in the national tournament last year. This year he is hopeful for a good result despite the more experienced teams. “Despite being a younger squad I think we’ve picked up (play) well. We’re looking pretty good,� DuPart said. “I do think there are a lot more mature teams and a lot of other teams that play pretty well, especially Grand Valley and Kent (State) is looking good this year.�

Connor expects to do better at nationals than last year with a young but confident squad. “We had a pretty good season last year, I think we’re going to do better than that,� Connor said. “We’ve grown a lot, I can speak for myself I’ve become a lot more aggressive and that carries across the board. I think we have a lot more guys who feel comfortable. I think the camaraderie is even strong than it was.� The tournament is set to begin Saturday with group play from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the lower RPAC courts. It continues Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with single elimination tournament style play.
