When the clock finally struck zero on Urban Meyer’s first Spring Game as coach at Ohio State, the 47-year-old veteran coach said he had no idea what to do next.

“Where do I go, what do I do?” he asked his players.

Meyer said assistant offensive line coach and former Buckeye captain Kirk Barton had an answer for him.

“He said, ‘You park it right here (in front of the south stands) and look at the scoreboard,’” Meyer said.

Caitlin Essig Asst. multimedia editor essig.21@osu.edu The term ‘Signing Day’ usually means an athlete is committing to the school of his or her choice, but the phrase meant something completely different Saturday, when the College of Engineering at Ohio State honored 25 prospective engineering students who excel academically.

Excellence in Engineering Signing Day was the first event of its kind at OSU. Guests at the event were high school seniors who have been admitted into the College of Engineering, though not all had formally committed to OSU. The students were photographed wearing scarlet baseball caps and shaking hands with engineering Dean David Williams, just as athletes committing to a school would shake hands with their new coaches.

Signing Day also featured presentations from engineering alumni, faculty and current students, visits from President E. Gordon Gee and football coach Urban Meyer, and included a trip to the Spring Game.

Williams said he was proud to honor the students, who he said were a selection of the best academically, and some who have been through hardships.

“The event is set to make Ohio State better and open doors for students,” Williams said. “It’s a great occasion to celebrate engineering.”

Front row and center, the former Florida coach linked arms with his players and joined the band as they played Carmen Ohio, a tradition Tressel started.

Meyer, who said he was also touched after hearing “Hang on Sloopy,” said he’s just a big fan of tradition.

“This is a school you don’t have to create a whole lot of tradition,” he said. “We’re honored to be able to keep the tradition that I believe coach Tressel started.”

Though, if what fans saw Saturday afternoon was any indication, it seems that’s one of the few things that Meyer hasn’t changed.

And it was noticeable from the start.

In a way, it was that kind of day for Meyer and his crew — a rendezvous of the past and future of OSU football.

For the first time in more than a decade, OSU fans roared as their team took the field in the middle of April behind someone other than former coach Jim Tressel.

And for the first time in his career, that man was Meyer.

On what he joked was “a beautiful fall day in Columbus, Ohio,” the 81,112 fans who braved dreary, rainy weather witnessed the beginning of a new era at OSU, though not without a salute to the past.

Thanks to Barton, Meyer knew what to do.

But he took it a step further.

Joseph Blake, a graduate student in optometry at Ohio State, went to Los Angeles for Spring Break with his friends and came back with a refrigerator, a free trip to Costa Rica and a Mini Cooper.

After waiting in line for about five hours for “The Price Is Right,” Blake said he started to think he actually had a chance for his name to be called during the show.

“They give everyone in line a really short interview, like 15-30 seconds,” Blake said. “I told him how I love riding my bike, and that I ride in Pelotonia. The guy really seemed to like our entire group, and we started to think we really had a chance. I think my ridiculous mustache set me apart from my buddies.”

Pelotonia is a charity bike ride that raises money for cancer research in Columbus.

Jonathan Andrews, also a graduate student in optometry who went with Blake to Los Angeles, said they all thought Blake was going to be called down.

“Joe Blake is one of the luckiest kids I know,” Andrews said. “Before we even

went to Los Angeles, we were already talking about what Joe was going to do with the prizes he was going to win, what funny things he was going to do on camera, the shout-outs he was going to give when spinning the wheel and what games he was going to play when up on stage.”

Once the show started, Blake was called down to Contestants’ Row. Four participants here each enter a bid on an item. The participant who bids closest to that item’s retail value without exceeding it plays a game on stage.

“The other bidders in Contestants’ Row were on their game that day,” Blake said. “Plus it’s really hard to hear the prize descriptions because the crowd goes wild for the ones they like. I was called down second and didn’t get on (stage) until the last chance.”

Once he got on stage, Blake said the game he played was called, “More or Less.”

“There are four prizes of increasing value, the last one being a car,” Blake said.

“They show a price and you guess if the item costs more or less.”

When it came time to guess the fourth

campus 5Ks give students a run for their money laurEn clark Lantern reporter clark.1760@osu.edu Spending $30 to exercise might seem crazy to some Ohio State students who can exercise for free at all of OSU’s facilities, but knowing it’s going toward a good cause might justify the means.

Many organizations around Columbus hold races to raise money for their cause, whatever it might be, and OSU students have the opportunity to participate.

The Central Ohio Diabetes Association will host the Family Fun Walk and Run Saturday and proceeds will go toward helping people with diabetes. The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Genoa Park, near COSI and costs $25.

The OSU Burn Center will present Blaze the Trail 5K and 2K Family Fun Walk Sunday. Raising money for burn victims, students have the opportunity to participate at the RPAC beginning at 9 a.m. The registration fee is $20 for OSU students.

May 5, Park Street Cantina hosts the Cinco de Mayo 5K Run or Walk. The race begins and ends at 5 p.m. at Park Street Cantina, followed by a complimentary margarita for participants to begin their Cinco de Mayo celebration festivities. The cost is $38 before race day and $45 that day.

May 12, Avery Elementary will hold Avery Gator 5K and Family Fun Run for student Nathan Kohrmann, a third-grader in need of a kidney transplant. The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Griggs Reservoir in Upper Arlington, Ohio, and is $25 for adults.

May 12 is the Girls on the Run of Franklin County 5K. Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that encourages girls in third through eighth grade to live joyful, healthy and confident lifestyles. The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Wolfe Park and is $25.

Jessica Sparks, council director for Girls on the Run, said the girls have been training for the 5K for 10 weeks.

“The girls have been engaged in discussions and participated in physical activity that will positively affect their lives now and in the future,” Sparks said. “Their positive energy and confidence are inspiring for all those who come to run with them and cheer them on.”

May 20 is the Fisher College of Business Fisher 5K Run, Walk and Relay. Proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus, which provides children after-school and summer programs to keep them safe and off the streets. Until April 28, the cost is $17 for OSU students then the price will rise leading up to the race, which begins at 9 a.m. at Fisher.

May 24 is the 2FGR Race Day for Down Syndrome. 2FGR stands for ‘2 fat guys running’ and is an organization that partners with DownSyndrome Achieves, a Dublin, Ohio, organization that focuses on financial help, education and legislation for those with Down Syndrome.

Dan Gorner, executive planning committee member for 2FGR, said he started the organization with his friend to support those with Down Syndrome because of a friend who has a child affected by it.

The race will begin at 6 p.m. at the Dublin Community Recreation Center and is $25 for an untimed race before May 3, $30 for a timed race and the prices will increase leading up to the day of the race.

May 26, JPMorgan Chase Memorial Freedom 4 Mile Run. This race benefits the United Service Organizations of Central and Southern Ohio and Honor Flight Columbus.

students and community members have a variety of opportunities to run for a good cause in the coming months.

According to its website, the USO supports America’s troops and their families through the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations.

Honor Flight Columbus helps send World War II and Korean War veterans to Washington D.C., to visit memorials dedicated to their service, according to its website.

The race will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Sharon Woods Park in Westerville, Ohio.

May 26 is the 5K for Cambodia. This race is to help support members of the Xenos Christian Fellowship church travel to Cambodia this summer for two-week mission trips. The race will start at 10 a.m. at the church located at 1340 Community Park Drive, Columbus, Ohio, and is $25.

Amy Robinson, a member going to Cambodia this summer, said the funds will be a big help because many members are college students.

“We are really excited to see how many people participate and hope it will really help us to get the money to go over there so we can do the projects for this Cambodian ministry,” Robinson said. “Some of the projects include a vacation bible school, construction work, teaching people English, teaching bible studies and some medical work.”

Seventy-eight percent of the undergraduate votes on the ballot initiative marked “yes” for Issue One, but even with an overwhelming majority, there is still skepticism around the legislation.

The modifications in the Undergraduate Student Government constitutions that will derive from the passing of Issue One include an increased collaboration between the legislative and executive branches, an overall structure that supports USG’s functions as an advocacy group for students and the ability to fund student organizations in a more effective way.

The old model consisted of a United States government-style model with a Senate and Cabinet.

“In the new system, the Senate and Cabinet merge to form a general assembly where they all sit together in one body to discuss issues and policies,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, USG director of academic affairs. “It reduces bureaucracy and unifies USG in a way that student voice is heard.”

Jared Kamrass, senior counselor to the USG president, said he thinks the biggest change to come from Issue One is collaboration.

“You get to see elected senators working with the Cabinet to ensure that the projects that deserve attention are getting the attention they need,” Kamrass said. “A bill like this only comes twice a decade, so it’s a great opportunity for us to improve USG.” Despite the passing of Issue One, many students are still skeptical.

“I just do not see the purpose of this change in particular,” said Heather Asbury, a third-year in fashion merchandising. “We barely hear anything about Issue One and when we do, elaboration of details is at a minimal.”

Fitzpatrick and Kamrass said they think change is needed.

“There are people that don’t like change and there are those that disagree with the changes that we made,” Fitzpatrick said. “They are legitimate opinions, I just don’t agree with them.”

Kamrass said students just need to understand Issue One. “When people understand the substance of Issue One, I think less people will be against it,” Kamrass said.

With the new constitution and bylaws taking action for the next five years, it looks like Issue One is going to have to provide its own evidence for success.

“I can understand that there is cause and concern because not everybody can be 100 percent, but I think that the decisions that we made in the long run will positively impact the student body as a whole,” Fitzpatrick said.

Bob Lauer, a 1967 graduate of OSU’s industrial engineering program, spearheaded the idea of the Signing Day. “In today’s world, athletes get visibility,” Lauer said. “I wanted the same thing for engineering scholarship awardees.”

Lauer said the idea of the event was to increase enrollment in OSU’s engineering program as well as increase awareness in the general public of young people making contributions in the field of engineering.

“This is the first year, and hopefully it will expand and become an annual thing to emphasize academic achievement,” Williams said.

William White, a 1992 graduate of OSU’s metallurgical engineering program and captain of the 1987 Buckeye football team, helped spearhead the event.

“It’s cool to make a big deal out of the students at the top,” White said. “And it’s great to bring excitement about education, because OSU is a great school academically, not just in sports.”

White was impressed by some of the students’ academic achievements.

“Two of these students got a 36 on their ACTs

Perhaps for the first time ever, OSU’s Spring Game began at midfield with what Meyer called a “circle drill.”

The drill, where two players at a time are called to battle and push the other out of a giant circle created by the rest of the team, is something rising sophomore defensive lineman Michael Bennett said gets everyone fired up.

“I think it gets a lot of guys really amped up because you see a Scarlet guy win against the Gray team and we all just get amped up and you’re ready to go,” he said.

Before Meyer broke up the drill, though, he called for his quarterbacks, rising sophomore Braxton Miller and rising redshirt junior Kenny Guiton, to go head-to-head.

Guiton, who wasted little time before shooting out of his stance to level Miller to the other side of the circle, said he had fun with it.

“It’s something we do before practice most days.

We both got caught in there today,” he said.

Bennett said watching Meyer summon the quarterbacks into the chaos surprised him.

“That was funny, I didn’t expect that at all,” he said. “But I thought that was great because it just got everyone surprised, you saw that was the biggest one that everyone was looking for.”

Meyer said he thought both the fans and players enjoyed it.

“I just wanted some good energy in there, and I want our quarterbacks, like anyone else, to put their nose on people,” he said.

It also seemed the fans enjoyed the fast-paced tempo of the game, which featured 57 attempted passes between both quarterbacks.

Though Meyer said he still has yet to see if his team has the ability to throw the ball well.

prize, which was a Ford Fusion, Blake said although all his friends were screaming ‘less’, he guessed more, only to be wrong.

Then it was time for the Showcase Showdown.

Contestants spin the wheel, in which the values are in cents and the goal is to spin the closest to $1 without going over. Blake said the two people before him both went over $1, so he was automatically entered into the Showcase.

“The Showcase was amazing,” Blake said. “A professional coffee maker with a coffee selection, a six-night stay in Costa Rica at a beach resort complete with a tour of a coffee plantation and a rental car, and finally a coffee colored Mini Cooper Countryman.”

Blake said he added his guesses together and gave a final answer of $33,000. However, when he heard that Robert, the other competitor, was only off by $2,005, Blake said he was sure he had lost.

“I was just standing there preparing my gracious loser face,” Blake said. “I had already had a pretty good day, after all.”

Blake said he went nuts when Drew Carey, the host, announced Blake was only off by $1,805 and he had won.

“Watching the celebration with my friends is hilarious to us,” Blake said. “Me flailing across the stage and them trying to tackle me. We were so excited we didn’t know what to do. We were hugging each other, hugging the models and hugging Drew (Carey).”

Abraham Hanono, also a graduate student in optometry, was another one of Blake’s friends who went with him to Los Angeles. Hanono said the best part was the celebration at the end.

Rising Redshirt junior quarterback Kenny Guiton (13) runs the ball into the end zone for the Gray team in the OSU Spring Game April 21. The Scarlet team won, 20-14.

Similar to his tone through much of this spring, Meyer said there’s still a lot of improvement needed before OSU takes the field against Miami (Ohio) in late August.

“We identified our issues and we also identified our strengths,” he said.

With the Scarlet team prevailing against the Gray team, 20-14, Meyer said, in a way, the work is just beginning.

“It has be the best offseason in the history of college football,” he said. “And it starts Monday.”

and a 1600 on their SATs. That’s not something to take lightly. These kids deserve to be recognized,” White said.

Some students and parents said they were impressed by the event.

Randall Radke, a senior at North Royalton High School, committed to OSU in October.

“I think Ohio State does it right,” Radke said.

“People always say you’re just a number at OSU, but they really do want you here.”

Radke’s parents, Randy and Beth Radke, agreed.

“Every step of the way, Ohio State has blown me away. They go above and beyond and they continue to impress me,” Beth Radke said.

Meyer left the students with advice for the years ahead of them.

“You’re entering Ohio State with the world at your fingertips,” Meyer said. “You’re gaining the world, don’t lose your soul.”

“I think our celebration at the end surely shows how firm thy friendship, Ohio,” Hanono said.

Blake said that during his trip, he constantly felt OSU spirit.

“We saw Buckeyes all around L.A. all week,” Blake said. “We had been jokingly harassing a Michigan fan in line. Then we got into the studio and gave Drew an O-H during a set change. Then when I got on stage, I was really excited that he did an O-H on the air.”

Carey is originally from Cleveland and went to Kent State University but never graduated.

Blake said he’s always been a fan of the show, and in reality, there are some differences he noticed compared to how it seems on television.

“The studio and the stage are smaller than I expected, and there were lights everywhere,” Blake said. “Another big difference is the energy of the crowd. It gets loud in there. There are always a bunch of people on stage, like cameramen. There were some minor bloopers that we had to re-tape too. The commercial breaks are a lot longer in reality too, but it’s cool because that’s when Drew talks with the crowd.”

Blake said Carey is a great guy and was very interactive with the crowd.

“During the set changes he joked with the crowd, played us some songs he liked and even sang a little,” Blake said. “He truly wants everyone to win, and I felt like he was really on my side since we’re Buckeyes.”

Blake said he ended up winning luggage, an exercise bike, a refrigerator, two pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes, a coffee maker, a trip to Costa Rica and a Mini Cooper. The show aired on April 12.

Sarah Pfledderer Asst. arts editor pfledderer.2@osu.edu A few males got some laughs as they frolicked around in heels and a dress, innocently blowing kisses and batting their eyelashes toward onlookers.

But when they upped their game with lap dances and faked sexual favors, a mix of expressions spread across more than 600 faces at the 7th Annual Amateur OSU Divalicious Drag Show Friday.

The show, which was held in the Ohio Union’s East Archie Griffin Ballroom and commemorated those bullied in the LGBT community, featured acts by four professional drag queens and 10 performances made of amateur drag queens or kings, who were Ohio State students.

Sixth-year host Natasha West, whose real name

is Michael Kramb, a 2009 OSU alumnus, kicked off the event with a lip synch and dance performance to Britney Spears’ “Stronger.” Flirting with random males in the crowd, she broke the ice with by describing how she tucked her genitals and was walking in heels.

West kept up the vulgarity for the remainder of the show.

“When you come to this event a lot of people don’t realize that you’re about to have a conversation about this, whether you’re actively participating or not,” said Grace Raderstorf, event coordinator and third-year in Italian and speech and hearing sciences.

Professional performances by West and co-hosts Virgina West, Anisa Love and Sandy Von Lipshitz intertwined amateur performances that featured lip syncing and dancing to songs such as Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” and Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” to name a few.

Love, whose real name is Corey Williams, a 2000 OSU alumnus, prompted the most reactions from the crowd as she mentioned of wanting to eat Waffle House, Catfish Biff’s and cheeseburgers and repeatedly offered to take boys backstage, specifically “white boys.”

“Put that in The Lantern. Interracial love welcome!” Love, who is black, shouted.

Virgina West, whose real name is Chris Equizi and is Natasha West’s drag mom, did splits, kissed a man on the lips and later pulled another man onstage to grind his head between her legs.

Von Lipshitz, whose real name is Matt Erhard, did a high kick for every dollar audience members gave her.

Music blared from the portable DJ booth and fraternity and sorority members sat on their lawns waiting for the races to start.

The annual Red Bull Chariot Race was back on 15th Avenue Thursday.

Teams, that were mostly of fraternity members, participated in the event and built their own chariots with materials such as large bins, lumber and bicycle parts. Sigma Phi Epsilon used parts it already had around its house to determine the design of its chariot, said Max Dawes, a second-year in industrial and systems engineering.

“We … found a bunch of random stuff in the basement and put it all together,” Dawes said. “The design probably changed four or five times while we built it. … It just all came together in the end.”

Inspiration for chariot designs included a fighter jet, an American flag, a red Solo cup and “Mario Kart.”

The OSU chapter of Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association hosted a viewing party of the first weekend of the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The music festival is held annually in Indio, Calif.

The first weekend of Coachella took place April 13-15. The viewing party was held Saturday at Woody’s Tavern at the Ohio Union.

“We knew that Coachella, in years past, had streamed the event on YouTube and we were just like, why not just bring the best of Coachella to OSU?” said Sean Doran, a fourth-year in new media and communication technology and director of public relations for MEISA.

The 13th annual Small Press and alternative Comics expo (S.P.a.C.e.) took place april 21-22 at the Ramada Plaza hotel and Conference Center, located at 4900 Sinclair Road.

Chariot from 4A The video game-themed chariot, built by the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, was complete with Koopa Troopa shells and its own Princess Peach. It won the award for most creative chariot, winning the fraternity two cases of Red Bull.

The champion of the race was determined through a bracket setup, with a total of 10 teams participating. Teams consisted of a rider and two members to pull the chariot.

Once the races began, spectators cheered for their teams as they raced through the track. Some fraternity members ran with their flags up and down the street to show support.

Spectators were given free Red Bull drinks while watching the races and cheering for their teams.

Brennen Tucker, a first-year in mechanical engineering , came to support his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, but also came to see the results of the races.

“I like to see a little friendly competition and such,” he said.

Although most chariots made it successfully through the one-turn course, others, such as that of Delta Tau Delta, toppled over when going through the sharp turn.

Some teams developed a racing strategy to avoid this setback.

Coachella from 4A Doran said MEISA took an online poll to decide which acts from the festival to feature. Bon Iver, Radiohead, Childish Gambino, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre were among the winning acts.

Three 35 minute-periods from Coachella played on the screens. In between the three periods, a local band, The Backup Plan, performed live acoustic music for the crowd. It performed original works, as well as covers of songs such as Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” and Katy Perry’s “E.T.” The lead singer of The Backup Plan and a fourthyear in mechanical engineering, Jordan Dsouza, said MEISA did a really good job promoting the event.

“For people to be out here this late at night on a Saturday night when a lot is going on, (and it’s also) Spring Quarter, and to have that place packed was awesome,” he said. “I think people not only enjoyed the music, but the setting. It was a very informal atmosphere.”

Zack Cramp, president of MEISA and a fourth-year in marketing, also said Woody’s was a great setting.

“We could have all the music playing on a number of screens with a really nice sound system, which was really important,” he said. “We wanted to kind of create a really nice concert atmosphere.”

Some competitors had a more relaxed approach to the race.

“We don’t have a strategy,” said Rhett Dalton, a third-year in business economics and brother of Alpha Sigma Phi. “It’s go hard or go home.”

Pi Kappa Alpha, the overall champions, used the first round of races to develop a successful racing strategy.

“After the first race, we knew it was all about hitting the turn first and getting in the inside of the turn,” said Gary Folino, a fourth-year in economics.

As winners, the fraternity won a $500 tab at The O Patio & Pub, the location of the event’s official after-party, in addition to five cases of Red Bull.

Team FMA, composed of three Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers, took second place. Its winnings included three Red Bull soccer jerseys and scarves, along with three cases of Red Bull. The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, which took third place, won two tickets to the Red Bull Thre3Style freestyle DJ competition at The Bluestone May 12 and one case of Red Bull.

The racers for Pi Kappa Alpha thrust their championship belt into the air as the top three teams stood on a Red Bull-inspired podium, Queen’s “We Are the Champions” playing in the background.

“It’s awesome,” Folino said of the win.

He said being at Woody’s also gave the group the option to have food and drinks, which were free for everyone.

Kelsey Dick, a fourth-year in biology, said the event was fun because everyone there was interested in the bands that were performing.

“It was just neat to be with a group of people who appreciate the same things I do,” she said. “I love Radiohead and it was cool to be with other people who appreciate that, too.”

Prizes, such as Coachella shirts, were given out during a raffle halfway through the event.

Max Mauerman, a first-year in political science and journalism, won two tickets to Portugal. The Man. “I’ve heard of them. I’ve never actually heard any their songs, so I’m not sure if I like them or not, but we’ll see. Hey, (it’s) free tickets,” Mauerman said.

Other ticket prizes included tickets to sold-out Twenty One Pilots April 28 at Newport Music Hall and tickets to the The Shins for June 5 at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.

Tables were splayed with colorful books and works of art. People circulated, chatting about their favorite independent comics.

The 13th annual Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo (S.P.A.C.E.) was held Saturday and Sunday at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center, located at 4900 Sinclair Road. There were more than 130 booths of people selling their original comic works.

The mission of S.P.A.C.E. is to give independent comic book writers and artists a chance to mingle and sell their work.

“What you will see is a lot of artists and writers producing their own work,” said S.P.A.C.E. organizer Bob Corby. “Our mission is to try to get the exhibitors a very inexpensive venue to sell their products because there is just a lot of great work out there that doesn’t get seen.”

There were exhibits of original works and comics.

Members of the Elyria Comic Book Initiative held workshops teaching people how to make comics.

Prize presentations were held. First place winners included “Spoilers” by Kevin Czapiewski in Webcomics, Paul Zdepski for “Sing Sing: A One Act Opera” in Mini-Comics and “Diabetes Funnies” by Colin Upton in the General category.

A mix of newcomers and attendees who had been coming to the expo for years flooded the Ramada.

“I didn’t even know it existed until a month ago,” said artist Greg Donchatz, 36, from Houston who works as an artist and freelance tattoo artist in Columbus.

James Maddox, 31, of Marietta, Ohio, said he was attending the expo for his third year. Maddox is editor-in-chief of Broken Icon Comics.

The difference between Comic-Con, the annual comic expo in San Diego, and S.P.A.C.E. has to do with its lack of mainstream comics, Maddox said.

“The people that come here are more interested in finding new and different materials,” Maddox said.

“You will find that superhero stories don’t do well here.”

There were a variety of stories at S.P.A.C.E. that ranged from a cat working on Wall Street to hookers gone wild.

Sara Lindo, 27, from Jersey City, N.J., wrote a comic about her cat that is a kind of therapist to traders titled “Ike the Cat in Wall Street Cat: Money Takes Naps.”

“It’s about if my cat had a job,” Lindo said. “He is really emotionally in-tune with people.”

Some at the expo said they thought works shouldn’t be reproduced for the masses and artists should concentrate more on original material in terms of production of comic books.

“I come from a world where I’m only as good as the last painting or drawing I did,” Donchatz said.

“So this mass market of, ‘Let’s print something for 25 cents and sell it for $1 and act like we are doing something original and good,’ just isn’t my thing.”

Cici (left, Caleb lesley, a 4th-year in psychology), BB (middle, Bryan Barthelmas, a 3rd-year in education) and Josephine (right, Joe horan, a 1st-year in math) perform at the 7th annual OSU Divalicious Drag Show, which took place april 20 in the Ohio Union’s east archie M. Griffin Ballroom.

Drag from 4A “suicide drag” at the end of the show, Natasha West said. Suicide drag is when performers are given random songs to sing and dance to and is also judged by crowd response.

Vanavia Weatherly, second-year in journalism and speech and hearing science who went by the stage name M.V. and #Drag, which was comprised of seven male performers, were chosen as the two finalists.

Weatherly initially beatboxed to Usher’s “There Goes My baby” and #Drag performed “Dreamgirls” with a kick line at the end.

Weatherly, who has beatboxed since she was 11 years old and appeared in a YouTube video with OSU student rapper Cal Scruby, was deemed drag king after receiving a louder crowd response than her opponent in the suicide drag round.

Amid interruptions of hugs and congratulations at the end of the night, Weatherly said she’d never experienced drag before the Divalicious Drag Show, but the night had a lasting impact on her.

“I think it was for a great cause. I will always, as much as I can, be involved,” she said.

The show first started on the tables of Kennedy Commons with a boombox seven years ago and is put on annually by the Mack Hall Council. This

year’s show took place on the National Night of Noise, which followed the National Day of Silence.

The National Night of Noise is a celebration for those in the LGBT community to voice their sexuality. The National Day of Silence is a movement by supporters in the LGBT community who take a vow of silence for those afraid of revealing their sexuality due to bullying, Raderstorf said.

On a more serious note, after closing out the evening with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” Natasha West shared her thoughts on the importance of drag.

“It’s a huge tool of just breaking down those everyday barriers,” Natasha West said. “Maybe some people thought to do it as a joke, but at the end of the day, they were a part of something huge and I guarantee you each one of them now has a different perspective, had a lot of fun and just has a whole totally different outlook on a lot of things that has to do with gay people, society and just the overarching theme of bullying.”

Allison Sant, a first-year in psychology who performed Soulja Boy Tell Em’s “Crank That” with Bros Not Hoes, said she participated in the show to take a stand against prejudice. She added, “How many other times in my life am I going to be in a drag show?”

Miller leads pass-heavy Buckeyes offense throws; all routes that were scarce in the 2011 passing game.

The Scarlet team only ran the ball 23 times, but seven of those rushes were touch sacks on Miller, whom the defense wasn’t allowed to tackle.

The heavy passing game is something Meyer said not to get accustomed to.

“We’re going to be a very balanced offense. (Saturday’s offense) was very imbalanced. However that was done for a reason,” Meyer said. “What we don’t know, and unfortunately even after the Spring Game I still don’t know, is can we throw the ball? That was the objective today.”

The offense’s quickened pace, however, is something that is here to stay.

Both teams used a no-huddle offense and instead received signals from the sidelines to get the team up to the line of scrimmage and ready to go as quickly as possible.

On the game’s first possession, Miller led the Scarlet team on an eight-play, 65-yard touchdown drive in just 2:17.

But afterward, the players said their play was slow compared to what they’ve been doing in practice.

“We didn’t even go that fast today,” said rising redshirt junior Kenny Guiton, who

Michael Periatt Asst. sports editor periatt.1@osu.edu From the moment Urban Meyer accepted the head-coaching job at Ohio State, people were buzzing about how the new coach and OSU’s incumbent quarterback, Braxton Miller, would be a perfect fit.

It seemed only natural.

Meyer was known for his spread offense that has the quarterback act as a playmaker first and a thrower second, and Miller was known for his playmaking ability.

At OSU’s Spring Game Saturday, more than 81,000 fans got a first glimpse at the quarterback and coach in action together at Ohio Stadium.

Miller, a rising sophomore, completed 24-31 passes for 258 yards as he led his Scarlet team to a 20-14 victory against the Gray.

The pass-happy offense was a stark contrast to what Buckeye fans saw last season when Miller only completed more than 10 passes in a game once – 14 in OSU’s loss to Michigan — all of last season.

OSU football, fans ignited by ‘circle drill’ Andrew Holleran Lantern reporter holleran.9@osu.edu The newfound emphasis on intensity and competition in the Ohio State football program was, perhaps, never more prevalent than about 10 minutes before kickoff of the team’s Spring Game Saturday when the Scarlet and Gray squads joined at midfield for what players refer to as the “circle drill.”

Meyer, waving his arms in the air to pump up the crowd of 81,112, started to grab members from both units and had them go one-on-one, merely a yard apart at the beginning of the drill, inside a huddle of teammates and coaches.

First up was rising senior defensive lineman and Gray team captain, John Simon, and rising redshirt junior offensive lineman, Jack Mewhort, of the Scarlet team.

As Meyer continued to pull different Buckeyes into the circle, including rising sophomore linebacker Ryan Shazier, rising redshirt junior center Corey Linsley and rising redshirt senior linebacker Etienne Sabino, the crowd’s cheering got louder and louder.

The drill is about being physical and getting after your opponent, but Meyer said he is careful when certain players are the ones participating.

“We put Simon in there and all that, I blew a quick whistle when some of those guys were in there,” he said. “You have to be very careful and very smart. Sometimes I’m accused of neither. I think that was fun for the

fans and I know our players came out of their shoes when we did that.”

The level of noise inside Ohio Stadium, including during the game, perhaps hit its peak when two Buckeyes were put in a surprising matchup: Scarlet rising sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller and rising redshirt junior Gray team quarterback, Kenny Guiton.

Guiton took Miller to the ground, and was swarmed by members of the Gray squad in a celebration that came afterward.

“That was a lot of fun,” Guiton said. “I thought that was pretty fun that (Miller and I) both got caught in there today.”

Guiton won the battle pregame, but it was Miller’s Scarlet team that won the game, 20-14. Miller said he was a bit shocked that Meyer had his two quarterbacks, who weren’t allowed to be hit during the game, go through the drill.

“Kenny and I were just laughing at each other,” Miller said. “Like, ‘We’re in the circle drill together? That’s crazy.’”

Meyer said the purpose of the drill was to get his Buckeyes amped up.

“I just want to see good energy in there and our quarterbacks are like anybody else. They got to go put their nose on people,” he said.

While Saturday was the first time some Buckeye fans saw the “circle drill” in action, it is something OSU players have become accustomed to during Meyer’s short tenure at the helm of the program. Each of OSU’s spring practices have started with the drill.

Brittany Schock / Asst. photo editor

OSU football players gather at midfield for the ‘circle drill,’ which took place prior to the April 21 Spring Game at Ohio Stadium.

The competitive, intense attitude brought forth by the new OSU coaching staff, which is probably best symbolized by the way the Buckeyes ended their pre-Spring Game warm-up, may be affecting numerous players in positive ways Linsley, who has firmly entrenched himself in the starting center position after playing very sparingly at OSU before Meyer arrived, may be the best example of this.

“I really think I’ve made a 180 (turn) in my life… on and off the field,” Linsley said. “It’s really a testament to coach (Mickey Marotti), coach Meyer and coach (Ed) Warinner. I’m really progressing and becoming a man.”

Linsley credits his adaptation with the coaching staff’s fierceness.

“It’s a whole new, for me at least, a whole new attitude,” Linsley said. “I really think the attitude they breathe around here has changed me.”

BOX SCORE

played quarterback for the Gray team and went 17-of-26 passing for 191 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Miller agreed the play was “kind of slow,” but said the no-huddle offense is something that puts him in his element.

“It’s just like high school back at (Wayne High School),” Miller said. “It’s all signals, get the ball in and just make the best plays you can.”

A lot of those plays were made by Michael Thomas, an early enrollee freshman wide receiver.

Thomas, who is cousins with former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson, hauled in half (12) of Miller’s completions and garnered 131 receiving yards.

The reception total is just two catches shy of the season-high from last year.

Meyer called Thomas OSU’s “most dedicated receiver right now,” and said he’s always on the jug-machine catching balls before and after practice.

“He should still be getting ready for his high school prom and graduation and all that,” Meyer said. “Right now, him and (rising junior Philly Brown) are kind of separated. They’re kind of the top two (receivers).”

Most people didn’t expect Thomas to have such an immediate impact, but Miller was hardly surprised. He said he’s been working closely with Thomas all spring.

“We work all the time in weight room,” Miller said. “I pick him up. We go in there, workout, watch film and go catch some balls. He’s just kind of growing up.”

Meyer said Miller has developed during the spring, and despite throwing an interception and getting sacked seven times Saturday, Miller has been impressive.

After the game, Meyer graded his signal caller.

He gave Miller’s release an ‘A,’ his arm strength a ‘B’ and his accuracy a ‘C’ to a ‘B.’ But he said he was “very critical” and graded his guys compared to some of his previous players that were taken in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Miller said Saturday’s offense only showcased about 30 percent of the playbook because many players are still getting used to Meyer’s new system.

They’ll have until Sept. 1 to master it when OSU opens its season against Miami (Ohio).

But the Spring Game on Saturday was enough for Miller, who thanked all the fans for coming out to support the team.

“It was fun,” Miller said. “It was competitive so it got the crowd into it.”

What we learned from the Buckeyes spring football game

Saturday afternoon marked the beginning of a new era of Ohio State football. For the first time, Urban Meyer took the field at Ohio Stadium as head coach of the Buckeyes in front of a crowd of 81,112 people for the 2012 LiFE Sports Spring Game.

The intrasquad scrimmage finished with the Scarlet team defeating Gray, 20-14. The final score from the two sides of the divided roster does not carry much relevance, but the performances on the field presented OSU fans with a glimpse into how the team will look this fall.

Both offenses and defenses had their ups and downs, but there were a number of aspects from both teams that stood out in the four 10-minute quarters Saturday.

1. Michael Thomas could be the playmaker OSU lacked last season at wide receiver. Thomas enrolled during Winter Quarter as an incoming freshman, but he looks ready to begin making an impact in the passing offense from the team’s first game this fall. Thomas was sensational Saturday, finishing the game with 12 receptions for 131 yards. Last year’s leading receiver, rising sophomore Devin Smith, had 14 receptions and 294 yards for the entire season, and he played in 13 full games.

Thomas has good size at 6-foot-2 and is an effective route runner who has the lateral agility to be a difference-maker in space. Even when matched up against the Buckeyes’ best cornerback, rising redshirt sophomore Bradley Roby, he was making receptions on Saturday.

2. The offense should emphasize passing over rushing. Last year, OSU had more than twice as many rushing attempts as passing attempts. The Spring Game indicated that should change this fall.

The two teams combined had 55 passing attempts and 443 total passing yards, compared to only 35 rushing attempts and 89 total rushing yards. Meyer said after the game that OSU passed so much during the Spring Game because that’s what the team needed to work on.

Regardless, the Buckeyes should pass more often, pairing a more experienced rising sophomore Braxton Miller under center with a more aggressive offensive game plan.

3. The Buckeyes plan to use the no-huddle offense this season. One of OSU’s deficiencies last season was their lack of a hurry-up offense. With an inexperienced freshman quarterback and an inefficient offensive system, the Buckeyes often drove down the field methodically, even late in a game.

This year, expect OSU to be able to run an efficient no-huddle offense. The Scarlet offense, led by Miller, came right out of the gate with this strategy, and drove 80 yards to score quickly in 2:17. If Miller can do this with the full OSU offense this fall, the Buckeyes will have much more success at scoring late in games when they need points, and keep opposing defenses on their heels.

4. Ryan Shazier is ready to be a star of the OSU defense. While rising senior captain defensive end John Simon should rightfully earn the majority of attention as the star of the OSU defense, opponents will also have to prepare for Shazier, a rising sophomore outside linebacker.

In Shazier’s first start last season against Penn State, he had 15 tackles.

He also started the final two games of the season in which he had 18 total tackles.

On Saturday, he stood out once again as a playmaker on the defense.

More than 1,000 people marched in Los Angeles during a day of protests against banks and wealthy corporations as part of the Occupy movement, Nov. 17, 2011.

to the production of F-22 G-suits, a type of flight suit, here in Ohio at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. My mother served as the internal disease consultant for the entire Air Force base. When redeployed to Texas, my father was cardiologist to the aging generals and my mother tended to impoverished HIV/AIDS patients. Although her life-expectancy rates were among the highest in the medical community, AIDS at the time was still a death sentence. Her eyes still fill with tears at the thought of what she witnessed.

After they completed their commitments — my father’s was 20 years, and my mother’s was 10 — my mother transitioned to a position with the state hospital and my father began building a private practice with his peers.

He was gone before we were awake and home after we were asleep. We were lucky if he joined us for dinner, dinners that my mother cooked after coming home from work, before doing the laundry and checking our homework. My father took the first sick day of his life the day after he went into cardiac arrest.

They are now in their 60s.

Most nights, my mother falls asleep with public health work in her lap, and my father as soon as he sits down. She is paid full time, and works time-and-a-half for our government. My father still leaves home before my youngest siblings are awake.

That is the path of two members of “the top 1 Percent,” two people who found success through hard work and service to the United States Military — options available to all Americans — and who society believes owe more to those who are not willing to make those sacrifices themselves. These beliefs that our neighbors are un-American in their successes is amongst the greatest destructive forces facing our generation. These are divisions that we must learn to span, if we are to repair the foundation of self-reliance America stands upon.

Michigan-based ‘Seven Nation Army’ should be replaced with local song LETTER TO THE EDITOR As an alumnus of the Ohio State University, I write in regards to a tradition I’ve observed at Ohio State football games. Recently, a recording of the White Stripes’ song “Seven Nation Army” has been played during kickoffs — a recording fans echo in a chant. This tradition has become increasingly raucous, and while I enjoy seeing Ohio State students and fans engaged as crowd members, my problems with this new tradition are twofold. First, I’m troubled by how pervasive this “Seven Nation Army” chant has become not only at college football games, but in professional sports arenas as well. I’d much prefer hearing crowd members participate in a chant unique to our institution. Second, the White Stripes, as many know, are a Michigan-based band. While our dislike of the University of Michigan should not serve as a blanket hatred of all things associated with that state, I’m not the first to note the irony of a Michigan song being played over the speakers of Ohio Stadium.

For that reason, as the start of the football season approaches, I encourage the student body to examine replacing this song with one by an Ohio-based act. The possibilities are many. The Black Keys and The National are among the many prominent, contemporary bands with Ohio ties, and other Ohio acts like the Pretenders and Devo may be worth considering as well. My own preference would be the Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy,” which like “Seven Nation Army” is both hookey and anthemic.

Again, let’s attempt to right this matter before the season begins, and here’s to the start of a new era in Ohio State football.

Students take advantage of a warm day by lounging on the Oval at OSU, April 1.

Despite warm weather, schoolwork, focus on deadlines should be a priority Spring is a time of massive re-evaluation. With flowers blooming and new beginnings all around, it is a time to eliminate some of the negative influences on our lives. But spring is also 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. Not to worry, I’ve compiled some tidbits I’ve learned along the way that have helped me improve productivity despite the beautiful, distracting weather and temptation from Oval Beach.

LANTERN columnist

My mother was the child of a union-member-turnedshopkeeper, who spent her non-school hours working for her father and devouring the town’s public library. At my father’s high school graduation, his father shook his hand and informed him he had 30 days to either move out or start paying rent. At 18 years old, both were members of this nation’s lowest economic class.

While collegiate students, my father joined the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, or ROTC — as had his father — for tuition

assistance, and my mother graduated Phi Beta Kappa, as the first collegian in her family, in three years to avoid a fourth year of tuition. During those years, Dad made it home for Christmas once. The other winters, he guarded grain silos with a flashlight in frigid below-zero North Dakota winters. At the time, political activists were burning them to the ground in protest of Vietnam.

After graduation, my father was deployed as an engineer, built runways for B-52 bombers and kept them plowed through midnight snowstorms during the height of the Cold War, while my mother worked as a waitress and then a biology teacher. She then joined my father and enlisted in the United States Air Force in exchange for medical school tuition, where she was one of three women in her medical school class.

Following medical school, residencies and fellowships, my father conducted classified research for NASA and the U.S. Olympic team, while also acting as member to a team that conducted the research leading

Know when to focus.

Saying “yes” is important in motivating us to accept new challenges and face new experiences as opposed to reverting to hiding away in the LIZ KERNS library or watching Netflix in bed. There are limits to how often you can kerns.114@osu.edu say “yes,” believe it or not. Taking risks from time to time is healthy, but if you find yourself going out and hitting the bars Wednesday through Sunday, it might be time to cool down on spring fever. Take this beautiful time to increase focus. Think in terms of what you can do, as opposed to what you cannot. Find a mantra and stick to storing it for days when accomplishing tasks seem harder than usual. Set your alarm an hour earlier than your normal routine and vow to meditate to start the day out with a positive and sharp focus.

You are capable of surviving a great deal of life’s obstacles. Don’t let doubt pull you away from getting things done.

Get off Facebook.

If you are using your laptop in the park, it’s time to separate you from your electronic spouse. Look up!

Enjoy the weather and the senses that accompany this temperate symphony of springtime delight.

Bring excitement into your life.

Establishing something to look forward to will give you the extra kick you need to work through the end of projects. When something rewarding is waiting at the end of your hard work, you will be launched into conquering obstacles rather than avoiding them. Make plans to go to Oval Beach with a friend after a long day of classes, or put in extra hours at work to save up for something bigger: plan a summer road trip to wring out the last of Spring Quarter exams. Whether you take a Megabus to Chicago to photograph the city life and do some self-searching for a while or plan a full-out road trip to California with ten of your most compatible and adventurous companions, there’s no wrong way to plan something enticing to work toward!
