Hate crimes on campus, a looming juggernaut of a semester switch, coach Urban Meyer’s modern ways and Jared Sullinger’s departure from Ohio State: President E. Gordon Gee talked about them all in a Monday night meeting with The Lantern editorial staff.

Reflecting on the construction going on across all of his campus, Gee said the project on the South Campus residence halls is progressing, and the rest of the university will soon follow suit.

“Beautiful facilities over there, moving from Motel 6 to the Ritz,” Gee said. “Wonderful facilities.”

Semester switch ‘ready to be flipped’ With the semester conversion set for the start of summer term, Gee said “everything that we could possibly do to plan for it has been done.”

Gee said he is confident the university is fully prepared.

“We could get it up and running tomorrow probably if we just wanted to flip a switch,” he said.

Gee said he expects the transition to be smooth, but said semesters were intentionally planned to start in the summer to allow room for error and time to correct any glitches.

“Do I anticipate that it will go very well? Yes,” Gee said. “Do I anticipate that there will be something that will happen along the line that I’ll shake my head at and you’ll be mad at me about? I think that is possible.”

The amount of money distributed in bonuses to Ohio State employees in 2011 was almost $5 million more than what was generated from the university’s 2011-2012 academic year 3.5 percent tuition increase.

Seven OSU employees received bonuses of more than $1 million in 2011. The total amount of money used toward bonuses adds up to $25.6 million. Additionally, 25 employees were paid bonuses of $100,000 or more, according to OSU payroll records.

The 3.5 percent undergraduate-tuition increase raised in-state tuition from $3,140 in 2010 per quarter to $3,245 in 2011 and out-of-state tuition from $7,868 to $8,210 per quarter.

President E. Gordon Gee said he is proud that OSU gives out such bonuses and he does not apologize for them.

“I’m not sorry, I feel very strongly that everyone at this institution should be paid well and right and should be paid according to how well they perform,” Gee told The Lantern Monday. “We ought to take great pride in the fact that we have people performing at a very high level.”

However, Richard Vedder, professor of economics at Ohio University and director of the Center for College Affordability Productivity in Washington D.C., said he thought such bonuses are outrageous in the world of higher education and could have helped to avoid a tuition increase.

Seven OSU employees received bonuses that totaled more than $1 million in 2011.

Five were employees of the Wexner Medical Center and two of the Athletics department, men’s basketball coach Thad Matta and former coach Jim Tressel. The Medical Center and the Athletics department are independently and separately funded from the university.

“Gee will claim that the bonuses were funded out of a different pot, but ultimately it is OSU,” Vedder said. “Moreover, some of the bonuses did not go to medical personnel.”

OSU distributed 4,028 bonuses in 2011, compared to its 1,693 in 2010. Its total payroll increased by 7.6 percent overall from $1.6 billion in 2010 to $1.8 billion in 2011.

Vedder said he has not heard of dishing out bonuses in the millions in higher education.

MARY POSANI Senior Lantern reporter posani.3@osu.edu Ohio State has sent out an official request for proposals (RFP) to private companies interested in managing campus parking operations, hoping for a bid of at least $375 million.

President E. Gordon Gee sent an email to faculty, staff and students Monday evening informing the community about the impact that privatizing parking can have on campus.

Gee told The Lantern editorial board in a meeting Monday evening that the university would need at least $375 million to make parking privatization possible, but hopes for a higher bid of about $400 million.

“I think we put together a strong case and a strong proposal, and I think there is a great deal of interest in this,” Gee told The Lantern. “I hope we get more than $500 million.”

Gee explained in the universitywide email that the bid amount will decide how the money will be allocated. The amount received would

The university has officially issued a request for proposal to possibly lease the parking assets of the university to a private, outside vendor. be divided and budgeted toward student financial aid and scholarship, faculty recruitment, campus transportation systems, constructing a more pedestrian-friendly campus and toward “critical areas … where external funding is limited,” according to the email.

“The central question is this: How

do we, as a world-class university, finance our visionary aspirations and continue to flourish in an era of limited funding?” Gee said in the email.

“The answer is that in order for this university to thrive, we must examine everything we do, think hard about how we operate and find new ways to financially sustain and grow our

excellence in teaching, research, and service.”

Companies interested in bidding must include a bid amount, a 50-year commitment and a cap in the annual parking rate increase that is consistent to historical increase. Gee also said in the email that no current Transportation and Parking employee would lose his or her job from a new contract.

The email stated that bids are due back at the end of May, and a decision will be made before the end of the academic quarter. Gee’s plan is to have a final confirmation at the Board of Trustees meeting in June and make the switch next year.

“I didn’t want to have the process go on in the middle of the summer because no one is here and people can accuse you of ‘under the cloak of night.’ I don’t want to do that,” Gee told The Lantern. “I think we’ve tried to be very open about this. And there’s enough controversy about it so we have to be as transparent as we possibly can.”

campus Students walk extra mile for Spielman, cancer research JOHN BUSH Lantern reporter bush.314@osu.edu When cancer plagues the life of a loved one, it isn’t an experience that many take in stride. But at Scarlet, Gray and Pink: A Walk for Stephanie Spielman, community members took strides toward finding a cure.

About 250 Ohio State students, faculty and members of the Columbus community participated in this year’s Scarlet, Gray and Pink walk for breast cancer research Saturday on the West Plaza of the Ohio Union.

The walk was in honor of the late Stefanie Spielman who died of cancer in 2009 and was the wife of former OSU football player Chris Spielman, The event, which has been held for 13 years, raised money for the Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer, as well as the newly named Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center at OSU. “Spielman is one of the few breast cancer research funds where all of the money goes directly toward research,” said Millie Johnson, a fourth-year in hospitality management and chairwoman of this year’s walk.

Johnson, who is part of the Major Campus Events Committee at OSU, said she chose to organize this event for personal reasons.

“It’s pretty close to my heart because my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple years back,” she said. “She did survive, but it was still a big thing in my life … so raising funds for breast cancer research is something that is really important to me.”

Kaitlin Daniels, event adviser of the walk and program coordinator for OSU Recreational Sports, said she cancer has also affected her.

Her father, Joe Daniels, died of cancer in December. He was a former quarterbacks coach at OSU. Kaitlin Daniels said her father’s battle with cancer made her extremely passionate about raising cancer awareness.

“Just everything that my family and I went through, and seeing how the Ohio State community responded … it was amazing seeing how such a terrible thing could produce so much good,” she said.

“Being able to raise awareness about cancer research is something I’m really passionate about, and I hope it becomes a passion of everyone at Ohio State.”

Students were asked to donate $10, while adults donated $20 with the option to give more.

Participants were also given the choice to either register online or on the day of the event.

Before the actual walk, Chris Spielman, his daughter Madison and Sandra Young, an Upper Arlington resident and breast cancer survivor, spoke to the crowd about their experiences. The walk then began with participants walking down College Road to Woodruff Avenue, and then back down High Street to the Ohio Union.

Julie Cochran, a third-year in social work, participated in this year’s walk.

“I heard about it from friends and I thought that it would be a nice thing to do,” she said.

Cochran said overall, the event was a touching experience for her.

“It was really inspiring the way that Chris and his family took such an awful situation and did something great with it,” she said.

Johnson had similar statements when she described the experience of actually running the event.

“It was an awesome feeling to be there talking to people about this fund and about continuing to fight, and about keeping hope alive,” she said. “I’m really very happy that I was able to be part of it.”

Daniels said the exact amount of money raised at this year’s walk is still being calculated.

9 OSU professors receive Distinguished Teaching award JAZMYN BLOCKSON Lantern reporter blockson.3@osu.edu With thousands of faculty members at Ohio State, one winner said being recognized as one of the nine professors to receive the 2012 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching is like winning the lottery.

“I didn’t give it much thought because it’s kind of like hitting the lotto,” said Hasan Kwame Jeffries, associate professor in history. “There’s so many good faculty members and good teachers that you never think you could be recognized in that way.”

Jeffries, electrical and computer engineering associate professor Bradley Clymer, English professor David Herman, Earth science professor Mark A. Kleffner, music associate professor Robin Rice, human development and family science associate professor Sarah SchoppeSullivan, law professor Ric Simmons,

computer science and engineering associate professor Paul Sivilotti and nursing associate professor Deborah K. Steward, are this year’s recipients.

The award recognizes superior teachers who are nominated by present and former students and colleagues.

A committee of alumni, students and

HASAN KWAME JEFFRIES faculty choose the winners. Each professor will receive a cash award of $3,000, made possible by contributions from the Alumni Association, donors and the Office of Academic Affairs, according to Ohio State’s website. Additionally, their base salaries will increase by $1,200 from the Office of Academic Affairs.

Nomination letters recognized Jeffries as an inspirational teacher who encourages students to think differently about history. Nominators illustrated the passion and commitment that he brings to the classroom. Jeffries said the feedback he has received in the letters confirms that his material sinks in and his effort is appreciated. To him, the award means that he is on the right track in the department and classroom.

“You don’t teach for recognition,” Jeffries said. “I do it because I love it and I try to really convey the point to make this history come alive and get people thinking differently about how they view the world and about America itself and African-American history in particular.”

At the end of each course, each college at OSU encourages students to evaluate their professor. Simmons said he reads the feedback of each student for constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve teaching styles.

He said some of the submissions were used by Moritz College of Law faculty when they drafted their nomination letter.

“The most important job I have is teaching,” Simmons said. “I work very hard every year to try to become better at teaching and to try to make sure students are essentially getting their money’s worth when they are sitting in the classroom or when they are coming to talk to me after class.”

Simmons said it was gratifying that the award recognized the most important part of his job. He said he sometimes does not see the immediate effects of being a teacher.

“You go in and you give a lecture, you run a discussion and then it’s not always clear if the students have gotten anything from it or if they learned something right away,” Simmons said. “But to know

Award from 2A that the students have been impacted and have appreciated what you’ve been doing, I think is something that I’m thankful to know has happened.”

The university made Simmons feel like receiving the award was a major accomplishment. He credits the university for valuing teaching enough to make him and the eight other winners feel special. The award was significant enough that he calls it his greatest honor.

“I’ve won teaching awards from the law school before which obviously mean a lot, but for the university to have so many great teachers and so many faculty members overall, to win this award on a university wide (scale) really is the greatest honor I could have,” Simmons said.

Clymer said the recognition on this level is humbling.

He said he is grateful for the validation of the effort he has put in over the last 25 years.

“It’s always important to get recognition from the people you are working with and from the people you are working for,” Clymer said. “It’s nice to hear good things about what you’re doing — it gives you reasons to keep going.”

Gee from 1A Gee said he anticipates the switch to the semester system will help the university catch up with the times.

“On June 30, we will be a very solid 1980s university,” Gee said. “Come July 1, we will be one of the most forward-thinking, one of the most progressive, and one of the most 21st century institutions in the country.”

Urban Meyer a ‘young man with a modern view’ Gee reflected on the new perspective that Meyer brings to the football program in light of the NCAA investigations that took place last year.

“He’s a smart man, he’s very able, he’s no nonsense,” Gee said of Meyer. “A young man with a modern view.”

Gee noted Meyer has been working to form a relationship with the student body and Buckeye community, demonstrated by the excitement surrounding his recent open practice and high attendance at the Spring Game Saturday.

“There were 81,000 people on one of the most dreary days I’ve ever seen in the life. I would tell you this, I’m the president of the university, I wouldn’t have sat out in that stuff,” said Gee. “The fact that people show up, shows the passion that the university generates for folks, and the passion he’s generating.”

Gee said he believes coaching at OSU is Meyer’s dream job, and that “he’s generally interested in getting the spirit of the university involved in the spirit of his football program.”

Aside from his recruitment streak, Gee said that Meyer’s accessibility will be “one of his greatest assets in terms of turning his football program into the premier football program in the country.”

Hate crimes on campus Gee said he didn’t want to be president of a university where anyone feels uncomfortable, and that the vandalism and hate crimes around campus affect everyone.

“When these incidents occur, it’s a blemish on all of us, it’s also an opportunity for all of us all to recommit ourselves,” Gee said. “Clearly I think that’s what we’re doing.”

The string of hate crimes began April 5 when “Long Live Zimmerman” was spray-painted on the west wall of Hall Hale, home to Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center.

Police said the vandalism referred to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader who on Feb. 26 killed 17-year-old African-American Trayvon Martin, telling police it was an act of self-defense.

Zimmerman was arrested for the murder of Martin April 12 and has since posted bail and awaits trial.

Two acts of vandalism also took place April 16.

Bonus from 1A Lantern with the budget of the Athletics department.

The department produced $131.8 million in revenue for 2011 and had expenses totaling $122.3 million.

Of its expenses, $16.5 million of that was attributed to “total coaching salaries, benefits and bonuses paid by the university and related entities.”

Matta, OSU’s men’s basketball coach and the universities top paid employee, made $2.2 million of that $16.5 million in 2011. Jim Tressel, former football coach, made $1.8 million in 2011. Together, the two made up 25 percent of the total coaching budget in 2011.

In comparison, University of Florida men’s basketball coach, Billy Donovan, made a base salary of $205,000 for 2011. Matta’s base salary was $563,508.

According to Donovan’s contract, if his team were to win the SEC Championship and advance to different levels of the NCAA tournament, he would receive various bonuses ranging from $25,000 up to $150,000 for winning a National Championship — which he has done twice.

In 2011, Matta lead his team to the Sweet Sixteen, won the Big Ten Tournament and Big Ten Championship. He received a $1.1 million bonus.

Lynch said the Medical Center employees are paid for patient care and procedures on a quarterly basis and those are processed as payments under bonus codes.

“In regards to the bonuses for our Medical Center physicians, last year we integrated the OSU Physicians group into the university so payments that had previously been administered through the physicians group now go through the university,” Lynch said.

All five of the Medical Center employees who grossed bonuses upwards of $1 million, Steven Kalbfleish, John Hummel, Emile Daoud, Ralph Augostini and Raul Weiss, declined to comment on their bonuses.

Additionally, David Crawford, a spokesman for

Parking from 1A In a survey sent out to faculty, 92.4 percent of participants said they do not support the university’s consideration to privatize parking, according to an April 10 Lantern article. Gee, however, said the survey was flawed and the accuracy of it should be questioned.

Gee said if the bid is less than expected, or if the switch does not benefit the university, then the deal will not happen.

“The issue is I don’t know what we’ll have. We have set a floor,” Gee told The Lantern. “If we don’t get at least $375 million and then all the other bells and whistles to protect ourselves — the university, the students and the faculty — then we’re just not going to do it.”

On a door in Baker Hall East, “n----r” and a swastika were written in permanent marker on message board, said OSU Deputy Police Chief Richard Morman.

The same day, “Hang n-----s” was painted in red spray paint on a dumpster located behind Formaggio Pizza at 20 E. 13th Ave. Two hate crime alerts were issued following each of the alleged hate crimes. Gee said he does not want the hate crimes to hinder the way he runs the university.

“I don’t want to be president of a university in which anyone feels uncomfortable, in which they feel unsafe,” he said.

Gee said more than 200 students came to a Board of Trustees meeting the day after the April 5 hate crime to express their demands in addressing the issue. Gee said he respected how all students have come together.

“I have been enormously impressed with our minority students in how they have been proactive not reactive, and how they have really rallied to find an opportunity about how we can make this better,” Gee said. “I’ve been very impressed by our majority students. It’s not us and them, it’s us together.”

Gee also expressed his support for a task force headed by Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president of Student Life, and Valerie Lee, vice provost of Diversity and Inclusion. He said the task force has been making progress in addressing the hate crimes.

Jared Sullinger’s draft decision Gee said he hates when student-athletes leave universities to play professionally, forfeiting a completed degree. Former OSU forward Jared Sullinger announced at an April 6 press conference that he decided to enter the 2012 NBA draft.

In doing so, Sullinger forgoes two years of NCAA eligibility.

“I hate it,” Gee said. “I think everyone should get a degree. He’s a good kid and has been a wonderful citizen of the university and just a great joy to have around.”

During his two seasons at OSU, Sullinger started in 73 of the 74 games he played. He scored 1,282 points in his career, had 717 rebounds, made 59 blocks and had 89 assists. The OSU men’s basketball team earned the No. 1-overall seed and a No. 2 seed in the 2011 and 2012 NCAA tournaments, respectively.

Gee said Sullinger’s decision to forgo his last two years at OSU shows the temptation for young basketball players to play in the NBA. “It’s hard for a kid who is dangled $40 or $50 million to say ‘No,’” Gee said. “I think what that shows is the relevance of power and money in sports that I think is out of hand.”

the Medical Center, did not return The Lantern’s requests for comment.

The Board of Trustees had to approve the nearly $26 million in bonuses, Lynch said.

“Bonuses are largely contractual,” he said.

“The Board of Trustees does have to approve the bonuses made in accordance with the OSU Reward and Recognition policy.”

The Ohio Board of Regents did not respond to The Lantern’s emails to comment on the bonuses.

In comparison to OSU’s 13 employees who made more than $1 million in 2011, according to payroll data from the University of Texas, three of their employees broke $1 million. At OSU, there were 238 employees who made more than $300,000 in 2011, while at UT, there were 34.

Vedder said other institutions do not have payrolls as large as OSU. “I just am interested to see how students feel about paying extra for tuition and seeing these additional payments being given out,” Vedder said.

Bruce Weinberg, an OSU economics professor, said there has been a shift toward linking compensation to performance, like these bonuses.

“That’s something that is sort of a trend that’s happened in industry over the past years,” Weinberg said. “Now there are discussions in industry as to whether that has gone too far.”

Weinberg said he is unsure as to whether that pendulum had swung too far at OSU. “That’s a hard question,” Weinberg said.

“Because you’re looking at the provosts and the presidents and important figures here that make the university function and asking if you could get someone cheaper for their value, and you can’t really answer that.”

Gee said this trend is what the university has taken on as part of the American system.

“As you know, I’m a very highly paid university president, much of my salary is at risk, which I like,” he said. “This is the American system, if you do well, then you’re paid for doing well.”

The RFP is a third step in a five-step process toward parking privatization. After the RFP, the university must choose a company and make the switch to finalize the process.

Several cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis have moved toward parking privatization, but no public universities have made the switch.

“Universities are places of ideas. We think about discovering the cure for cancer, we think about the next great American novel, we think about teaching and writing and a variety of other things. We have little curiosity about how we change what we do. And we need to be a very urgent institution and a very curious institution,” Gee said. “We are a place that facts and ideas should drive us, and not agendas.”

Christopher Braun Lantern reporter braun.200@osu.edu It’s no secret that a construction site is at almost every turn on campus, and not only do they block students’ walks to class, but it has created a tough challenge for planning this year’s Big Free Concert, sponsored by the Ohio Union Activities Board.

Despite concerns that the South Oval construction would interfere with the concert featuring the DJ Skrillex and rapper Mac Miller, scheduled for 6 p.m.

May 12, the show will continue on as planned, said OUAB concerts chair Courtney Chow.

“In general, construction on campus was a factor in planning Big Free Concert,” Chow said in an email. “Our goal was to host a large outdoor concert in a central location on campus for students to enjoy, and after considering many different areas, we felt the South Oval was extremely accommodating to our needs and will provide a great concert environment for the show and for the student experience.”

The concert stage will be set up on the opposite end of the lawn from the construction, behind Enarson Hall and facing north toward the Oval between Mirror Lake and the construction area. The construction will not be an issue, Chow said.

“We know people are concerned about this site because it’s new,” Chow said in the email.

“After creative and careful planning, we are excited about trying this new space and are confident it will give students a new, close and exciting concert experience.”

A $10.3 million project, which has since gone over budget, to install geothermal wells underground in the South Oval to heat and cool the South Campus area is slated to be complete October 2013, according to a Jan. 18 article in The Lantern.

The event will not be ticketed but students must be prepared to show their BuckID upon arrival as it is for Ohio State students only.

Lots of chocolate will be at Camelot Cellars Urban Boutique Winery Tuesday, but don’t expect to indulge in a Hershey’s bar or a Ghirardelli square.

Camelot Cellars, located at 958 N. High St., will host its first Columbus Chocolatiers Fest at 6:30 p.m Tuesday.

“We want to promote more of the ‘mom and pop’ stores,” said Janine Aquino, owner of Camelot Cellars. “We try to focus on local chocolatiers that make great chocolate and showcase their skills.”

Camelot Cellars invited chocolatiers in the Central Ohio area to display their best chocolate.

Wine and chocolate will be paired together in order to highlight the talent of various chocolatiers.

“Chocolate goes great with wine,” Aquino said.

“Especially, red wines and port wines go great as well.”

Evan Weiss, whose stage name is Into It. Over It., is scheduled to perform at 9 p.m. April 26 at Carabar.

Have you ever been fixated on a song one day, only to be completely over it the next? Indie rock musician Evan Weiss used to have the same feeling — for his own songs.

Weiss, who goes by the stage name Into It. Over It., is scheduled to take the stage for the first time in Columbus Thursday at Carabar, located at 115 Parsons Ave. The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.

The singer and songwriter began recording music as Into It. Over It. three years ago with the release of “52 Weeks,” a project where Weiss challenged himself to record a song per week for a year. After the compilation of songs gained attention from fans as well as record companies, Weiss decided to continue making music under the pseudonym.

“That was supposed to be the beginning and the end of the idea,” Weiss said. “The idea was that you would be into a song long enough to write it and record it. Then when it was over, you were over it and had to think of something else.”

“52 Weeks,” which inspired the name Into It. Over It., pressured Weiss to let loose from the lengthy thought process that he said often plagues

songwriters and simply generate music. He has since progressed and takes the music he creates more seriously, Weiss said.

“I want to make sure I put out stuff that I’m really, really proud of all the time,” Weiss said. “(With ‘52 Weeks’) there wasn’t a lot of time to think — that’s what made it possible to get it done. If I would have sat and thought about it for too long, I would’ve failed.”

Weiss put his progression on display with his fulllength debut album, “Proper.” The album, released in September, showcases Weiss’ songwriting over 12 tracks.

Although audiences will get a glimpse of the record when Into It. Over It. performs live, Weiss admits the sound is often very different than the fullband rock version featured on the record.

“Because I play every instrument on the album, except for drums, live, it sounds very stripped down,” Weiss said. “It’s a little more intimate and more relaxed. I’m able to tell stories about the songs and exchange a little bit more.”

Weiss’ connection with the audience is part of what makes seeing Into It. Over It. live a special experience, said Chase Igliori, Weiss’ manager and friend.

Don’t give power to meaningless obscenities, racial slurs ARTS Columnist

A lot of things were in the news this past weekend. The U.S. and Afghanistan reached an agreement ensuring U.S. military and taxpayers’ money presence in their country until at least 2024, System of a Down announced tour dates and the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico is stirring.

With no evacuation plans in place despite an active volcano, it would appear the entire world has gone sideways. People don’t seem to be able to see the real problem, even when it’s towering above them spewing toxic smoke.

A Florida judge agreed on a $150,000 bail to let George Zimmerman out Friday, after being arrested when civilized folks around the nation demanded blood. They got a taste of it, and now everything appears calm in the news world — no more cannibals or protestors outside the jail in Florida, according to Fox News Latino.

Only about a week ago, an article was published in The Lantern about two more hate crimes on campus, which were suspected to be linked to Zimmerman’s spasmodic trigger-finger.

Words. Words. Words. What was that stupid thing mom used to say to us when we were little?

“Sticks and stones may break our

James Garcia garcia.299@osu.edu bones, but words will get media attention and officials will hold meetings and everyone will be offended and all a-tizzy because of some ignorant hick’s need for attention.”

There’s something you have to understand about “terrorists:” they are nothing without media attention. The main goal of terrorism is to spread their mission statement, their hate, their terror, by letting your own preconceived ideas work in their favor.

How many more instances of racist vandalism, these “hate crimes,” popped up after the reaction to the first one? I’ve lost count. (Does bathroom stall graffiti count as hate crimes?) And it’s our fault really, us non-racists, us anti-racism folks.

But, it’s important to know what we’ve gotten ourselves into before we put someone under the guillotine, so let’s analyze exactly what we’re getting offended about when we see an offensive word, any “obscenity.”

We see letters or hear phonetics, which create in our minds an image or emotion we’ve learned through experience to associate with the word. It’s completely ambiguous.

Really — this word is bad, this one is good, because I said so — but that guy over there doesn’t care, because he was raised a heathen.

When problems arise in society, the cleverest of us know where to look for answers, or at least a clear presentation of the problem: comedy.

Comedians such as Lenny Bruce, who was a major component in bringing the civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s to the mainstream with his controversial take on obscenity and the impact of words deemed inappropriate and even illegal.

If you sit down for a moment and think about exactly why you’re offended by a certain word, no matter your racial, gender, sexual or any other superficial identity, you’ll see how silly it is. Because it’ll come down to: “I’m not sure, I just am?” or “Momma tol’ me so.”

If you’ll take notice, even I have to

censor myself, or The Lantern, though it is gracious enough to publish most of my words, won’t share my rants with you. And it’s not their fault — not completely anyway — our culture’s just skittish is all.

We’re stuck in some weird religion trip that believing certain words can send you to hell and then we pass the idea to our children. Well, we’ve shown Westboro Baptist Church what we think of their religious bulls---, so let’s show the world we can move past being hung up on language.

Read “Naked Lunch” by William S. Burroughs, which was once banned for obscenity and has since been hailed as one of the most influential pieces of literature, and you’ll see how we can progress from being offended to being enlightened.

If you haven’t gotten my point yet, let me dot the ‘i’s for you: If you want to stop hate speech, stop gasping, stop spitting, stop twitching when you hear or read words. They’re just words. Don’t give them any power over your life or our culture.

There are more serious things happening in the world right now.

Like my beer — it’s empty.

close as Grandview are expected to showcase their sweets at the event.

“Nothing goes better together than a dark chocolate truffle and a glass of red wine,” said Lisa Boyle, owner of Chocolate Café, located at 1855 Northwest Blvd.

Boyle said as owner of Chocolate Café, she focuses on selling only her best quality chocolate.

“When you are in the restaurant business, you are creating dishes, desserts and candies daily, and we mess up constantly,” Boyle said, who serves chocolate fondue everyday that is made from scratch. “We are constantly tweaking things and working with the chocolate.”

Victor Gonzales, owner of Chocolate Octopus at 4600 International Gateway in Columbus, is not only keen on quantity, but also quality. Chocolate Octopus specializes in chocolates that include fruits and peanuts, Gonzales said.

“We want customers to know us for our freshness and value,” Gonzales said. “We don’t get into intense designs, just a bunch of chocolate into each piece.”

Stacy Peters, owner of O’Chocolate located in Athens, Ohio, said the type of ingredients she uses to make chocolate sets her company apart from others.

“O’Chocolate uses Fair Trade organic chocolate and focuses on using local and regional ingredients.” Peters said in an email.

In addition to using organic chocolate, Peters said O’Chocolate’s chocolate is made fresh in small batches and is hand-wrapped and packed in biodegradable packaging. Peters said the company is known for chocolate truffles and gourmet chocolate bars.

Boyle said she’s excited for small companies such as Chocolate Cafe to have the chance to showcase its chocolates at the Chocolatiers Fest.

“We want people to be able to realize that there are some smaller operations that produce some really great chocolate,” Aquino said. “And, not just the big chains.”

Matt Toka is scheduled to perform with Breathe Carolina and The Ready Set as part of the Blackout Forever Tour April 26 at Newport Music Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Skrillex from 4A he thinks Skrillex and Miller will appeal to many students.

“A lot of people know Mac Miller and Skrillex,” Smith said. “I think a lot of people dig that.”

Renae Acker, a first-year in engineering, said she wasn’t very excited about attending this spring’s concert, as she’s “not the biggest dubstep fan.”

“I’m kind of glad I don’t live on South Campus so I don’t have to listen to it, actually,” Acker said. “I might go just to go, though. It’s better than Smash Mouth, like they had last time. I heard that they were pretty awful, but I heard Skrillex was actually a good performer, so I’m sure he’s going to put on a good show.”

Acker also expressed concern over the construction taking place on the South Oval, doubting OUAB’s ability to fit the concert in the lawn’s little remaining space.

“I feel like with Skrillex there are going to be a lot of people, so I don’t know if it’s going to work,” Acker said. “I think they should find somewhere else to have it.”

Connor Daugherty, a first-year in exercise science, also acknowledged that it will be tough to fit the stage and crowd around the construction, but has faith OUAB will pull off the event.

“I’m sure they’ll find a way to do it,” he said.

Brian Holmes, a fourth-year in political science,

Tuesday April 24, 2012

said he wasn’t very familiar with Skrillex’s music or dubstep in general, but thought the idea to feature a DJ for this spring’s free concert is “different and kind of cool.”

“I think it’s interesting having someone like Skrillex perform,” Holmes said. “It shows that dubstep, and DJs as an artist form, is becoming more popular. I think it’s an interesting change of pace.”

As far as going to the concert, Holmes said the South Oval construction would not factor into his decision to attend, and that his decision is more a function of whether he’s interested or has other plans.

Skrillex, whose real name is Sonny John Moore, is an electronic dance music artist and DJ. He is often associated with dubstep, an electronic genre known for its hard bass lines, which has seen a sharp rise in popularity over the last three years.

After leaving hardcore act From First To Last in 2007 to pursue a solo career, he went on to gain notoriety for his 2010 EP, “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.” It helped him garner five nominations at the 54th Grammy Awards Feb. 12, at which he won three Grammys for Best Dance Recording, Best Dance-Electronica Album and Best Remixed Recording.

He was also nominated for Best New Artist, but lost to Bon Iver.

Mac Miller, whose real name is Malcolm McCormick, is an up-and-coming rapper from Pittsburgh.

With song titles such as “666” and “Say10,” one might think Matt Toka’s music is satanic worship, but reading deeper into the lyrics, his songs actually have a message to be on the lookout for evil.

Toka is scheduled to perform with Breathe Carolina and The Ready Set as part of the Blackout Forever Tour Thursday at Newport Music Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Toka started a band named Cherry Monroe in order to find a way out of Youngstown, but not having a side job had major consequences.

“I personally didn’t take it seriously,” Toka said. “I thought bags of money would fall from the sky and that I would have a house on ‘Cribs.’”

After Toka streaked naked through a meeting with the record label, the band was dropped.

Toka decided to move across the country to California.

“It was one of the most liberating things,” Toka said.

Toka said he works every day honing his song writing skills, just as a guitarist practices the guitar.

“I write like every day, it’s like therapy for me,” Toka said.

The songs Toka’s audience connects to are about his emotional ties with his family, and he feels they come too easily, he said.

“The ones that really connect are the ones I don’t even feel like I should get credit for,” Toka said.

For instance, Toka said “Angel” took him 10 minutes to write.

“I feel like I didn’t deserve the credit for it because it came way too easily,” Toka said.

Toka said he draws his inspiration comes from different musical angels in songs ranging from Bob Dylan to Black Sabbath.

“Before when I was into Metallica, (Jimi) Hendrix and Green Day, I wanted to play guitar, but once I discovered Bob Dylan, I was like, ‘F---, I want to be a song writer,” Toka said.

Toka considers his new album “Straight to Hell” autobiographical in nature. He said trying to discover his place in the world, in music and in life was a living hell.

“For me, it was like I was dead and already in His first studio album, “Blue Side Park,” was released in November and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Miller, who was originally a member of rap group The Ill Spoken, signed with Rostrum Records in 2010 and went on to work with artists such as Wiz Khalifa. He released his most recent mixtape, “Macadelic,” March 23.

hell, and that’s how I felt for a very long period in my life, so that is where all the devil metaphors come from and the title ‘Straight to Hell’ has come from as well,” Toka said.

Others agree the range of songs on his new album have range in their meanings.

“Other tracks on the album like ‘666’ and ‘Good Times’ are punk rock odes to raucous debauchery; another, ‘Angel,’ is a tender yet honest tune about a smitten rocker admitting he’s rough around the edges,” wrote Jeremy Craig for The Augusta Chronicle.

Toka said Satan’s name being in the song “Say10” is more of a warning to watch out for things that are evil in the world.

“What I did with ‘Say10,’ Satan is literally in the song, so, ‘Let me hear you say 10,’ is like, ‘Let me be cautions about all the bulls--- in my life so it doesn’t f--- me up,’” Toka said.

The recent tour has been an amazing life experience, he said.

“For me, being back on the road and seeing the country has been phenomenal,” Toka said. Blackout Forever is his first tour since signing with WB Records.

Toka admits his shows are not for the faint of heart.

“Its straight-up punk rock, aggression, rebellion and high energy,” Toka said.

Fans of Toka said they like the energy in his music.

“His music is really energetic and upbeat,” said Amy Leimenstoll, 29, of Columbus.

Toka also said reactions from the audience can be a mixed bag, but for the most part, his music is well-received.

“Sometimes we play some Misfits or Metallica and no one gets it, except someone’s dad,” Toka said. “Some of the younger kids get freaked out which is funny, but the overall response is well.”

Toka will be playing a couple large festivals this summer. He will be on the Vans Warped Tour, which will stop at Blossom Music Center July 11 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, with punk rock bands such as Rise Against and New Found Glory. He will also play at Bamboozle May 19 in New Jersey with acts such as Skrillex and Blink 182.

Tickets for the Columbus show are $17 in advance and $20 the day of the show.

Weiss from 4A

“He’s a storyteller, and I think that’s ultimately what’s best about coming to see Evan (Weiss) live,” Igliori said. “He’s very personal and emotional. Many people will really attach themselves to him as an individual.”

From playing in houses and basements to festivals such as Vans Warped Tour where Weiss is slated to perform this summer, Into It. Over It. has gradually transitioned into larger venues.

Igliori said despite the increase in crowd size, Weiss’ approach toward performing live remains unchanged.

With his mellow, acoustic-oriented style, Weiss will bring a bit of a change to the performances typically featured at Carabar.

“We usually do more of like metal, punk and just hardcore shows,” said Joshua DeJac, who booked Weiss at Carabar. “It should be a little more chill and hopefully a little more interactive.”

On the flipside, Weiss is also looking forward to performing at the venue, even if the audience isn’t accustomed to his style.

“I heard that Carabar is pretty sweet,” Weiss said.

“I’ve also heard that it’s pretty rowdy, so I’m wondering how well it’ll do for me when I’m so stripped down and quiet. But I hope it’s rad and people will be excited to see me play (and) as excited as I am to play there.”

The show is free of charge.

Prahalis hopes to rise with Mercury Dan Hope Lantern reporter hope.46@osu.edu

During four years at Ohio State, point guard Samantha Prahalis earned her place in the record books of women’s basketball.

On April 16, Prahalis, who calls herself a “misunderstood player,” received the opportunity to continue her career at the professional level when she was drafted by the Phoenix Mercury with the No. 6-overall pick in the 2012 WNBA Draft.

Prahalis set Big Ten conference and OSU school records with 901 assists over her four-year career.

She ranks fourth on the Buckeyes’ all-time scoring list with 2,010 points, and was only the second player in Division I women’s basketball history with at least 2,000 career points and 900 career assists. She was also named the 2012 Big Ten Player of the Year, and was a first-team USBWA All-American.

Prahalis said making it to the WNBA has been a goal of hers since she “got serious about basketball in high school.”

“To get drafted, and just to be in the room and get your name called and hold the jersey up with the commissioner,” Prahalis said. “It was just cool. It’s reaching a dream.”

Prahalis said she was “super excited” to be drafted by the Mercury and thinks her new team is the right fit for her.

“They’re a fast-paced team, they’re up-tempo,” Prahalis noted. “So I think that fits me perfectly.”

Mercury coach and general manager Corey Gaines said he was in attendance for Prahalis’ final home game on Feb. 23, when she set the OSU single-game scoring

Gymnastics coach takes honor after NCAAs Natalee Walker Lantern reporter walker.1108@osu.edu Ohio State women’s gymnastics coach Carey Fagan was named the National Coach of the Year Monday after her squad finished in the top 10 nationally.

OSU ended its season with a fourth-place finish in the second session of the NCAA Championship Semifinals Friday at Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, Ga. The Buckeyes posted a score of 196.525, leaving their first trip to the NCAA Championship Semifinals since 1990.

“I’m really happy with the way the team handled the pressure of competing at the NCAA Championship,” Fagan said in a press release. “They did what we have done all season and it feels great to be ranked in the top 10. I am so happy for our seniors and the leadership they have shown all year. It has been a history-making year for the program, and I am so proud of what we accomplished.”

Fagan wasn’t the only one reaping the awards. Assistant coaches Bill Lorenz and Meredith Yonushonis were named Co-Assistant Coach of the Year and sophomore Sarah Miller earned second-team All-America honors.

The Buckeyes finished .625 points short from qualifying for the Super Six Team Finals. Alabama (197.675), Florida (197.650) and Arkansas (197.150) advanced to the team finals Sunday.

Shaffer scoring a 9.825. Sophomore Alex DeLuca and Williamson each posted a 9.80.

OSU finished on vault, recording a 49.175, which was .10 shy from the season high in the event. A trio of 9.850s from Krauter, Marohn and Miller led to a tie for 17th.

Recruit commits still streaming into Columbus for OSU, Meyer Michael periatt Asst. sports editor periatt.1@osu.edu Ohio State coach Urban Meyer picked up two more recruits Monday. Defensive end recruits Joey Bosa and Lewis Neal verbally committed to play for the Buckeyes starting in the 2013 season.

Bosa, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound junior from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. is ranked as the No. 14 overall player by recruiting website Rivals.com and the No. 2 strong side defensive end. During his junior year at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, he compiled eight sacks and 18 tackles for loss. He also had scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State and Michigan.

From his Twitter account, @jbbigbear, he tweeted, “I’m gunna destroy people this year I feel sorry for who ever I go against.” He also tweeted a picture of a silver bullet.

Neal is a 6-foot-1, 232-pound weakside defensive end from Wilson, N.C., Rivals.com ranks him as the No. 16 player at his position.

He also had scholarship offers from Clemson, Purdue, Tennessee and South Carolina.

Neal and Bosa are the 12th and 13th recruits for OSU’s 2013 class, and their commitments come less than a week after Meyer bagged his first quarterback recruit for the 2013 class.

Bo Ryan makes life difficult for his players

Darius Thigpen thigpen.9@osu.edu

record with 42 points in a victory against Minnesota.

Gaines said he believes the system his team runs will suit Prahalis well.

“The way she plays, she makes other people better,” Gaines said. “I think she’ll flourish, I think she’ll be one of those players to leave college and expand her game to a better style.”

Prahalis joined Jessica Davenport, who was selected second overall in 2007, and Jantel Lavender, selected fifth overall in 2011, as the third OSU alum to be a WNBA first-round draft pick. Prahalis also became the seventh player to be drafted from OSU under Jim Foster’s tenure as head coach. Foster began coaching the Buckeyes in 2002.

Prahalis gave credit to Foster in helping her get to the WNBA. “I am confident in the way coach Foster prepared me for the league,” Prahalis said. “He really taught me to deal with different situations.”

Like Gaines, Foster also said he thinks playing for the Phoenix Mercury will be a “great fit” for Prahalis.

“I think that she’s going to a very transitionoriented team, and that by far is her strength,” Foster said.

Prahalis joins a roster that features Diana Taurasi, who has led the WNBA in scoring for the past four consecutive seasons. Gaines said he believes adding Prahalis to a talented roster will make her better.

“She has good players to pass to,” Gaines said.

“So it should improve her game, and also make her game a little easier for her playing in our league.”

Gaines said he hopes Prahalis is ready to start at point guard this season but also recognizes that the transition from OSU to the Mercury will be challenging.

“It’s going to be a drastic change for her,” Gaines said. “It’s probably going to go against everything she’s learned or been taught before.

And I’m not saying what she’s been taught before is wrong. It’s just that we teach things a little differently, and it’s a different style of game.”

Prahalis said she felt her personality was sometimes misunderstood, but hopes WNBA players and fans will be more accepting.

“I think in college, I was kind of scrutinized because I was being me,” Prahalis said. “So hopefully the WNBA has a little bit of a more open mind.”

Prahalis also said she hopes OSU basketball fans will remain interested in her WNBA career.

“I hope the fans from OSU will come over to WNBA and continue to support me,” Prahalis said. “They believed in me, all my flashiness, my style, my competitiveness, so I hope they just continue to follow me.”

Many Ohio State fans already disliked Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan. Ryan gave more fuel to the fire Thursday, and made life for a studentathlete unnecessarily difficult as well.

Ryan was unpopular among OSU faithful because of comments he made after the Buckeyes’ 67-71 loss at Wisconsin, Feb. 12, 2011. Ryan replied, “Deal with it,” when asked about thenfreshman forward Jared Sullinger’s complaint of fan rudeness in Wisconsin.

Ryan made headlines last week when he disallowed freshman Jarrod Uthoff from transferring to several schools. This list included all Big Ten schools, all ACC schools, Florida, Iowa State and Marquette.

The move to block a player from transferring to where he wants lowered some people’s opinion of Ryan. He made matters worse Thursday when he appeared on ESPN Radio’s “Mike and Mike.”

While sharing his side of the story on the popular radio program, Ryan became defensive. He attacked both hosts, Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg, said the idea to block schools came at the advice of other coaches and said a scholarship is like a contract.

Greenberg pointed out a scholarship, unlike a contract a coach might have, is for a student-athlete.

The player, who is still only a student, must sit out a year if he decides to transfer. Greenberg also said coaches can leave one school for another without much of a penalty.

Ryan’s answer to why he blocked Uthoff from transferring to his school of choice: Because I can.

Several times Ryan said that as a coach, he reserves the right to block a player from going to certain schools. That doesn’t mean he has to.

Ryan said he was confused as to why Uthoff wanted to transfer. Players usually transfer because they aren’t getting as much playing time as they would like. Uthoff sat the entire 2011-2012 season and was redshirted.

Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan reacts as his team pulls ahead in overtime against Minnesota Feb. 9, at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Minnesota Gophers in overtime, 68-61.

I believe Ryan is now blocking Uthoff for one simple reason: because he can. He said he’s not being spiteful, but it’s nonetheless a move I don’t appreciate.

If a player wants out, he should be allowed to do what is best for him. OSU just allowed J.D. Weatherspoon and Jordan Sibert to do what is best for them and transfer.

OSU basketball coach Thad Matta had a similar block on Weatherspoon and Sibert. Matta disallowed the pair to transfer to any Big Ten schools, OSU spokesman Dan Wallenberg told The Lantern Monday.

Ryan, in his interview with “Mike and Mike,” said it’s standard practice to block other schools in the same conference and big teams the school might play in the next few years in non-conference play.

Ryan blocked additional schools, in addition to

the list of non-conference opponents and Big Ten teams.

I find it ironic that Wisconsin’s last two football quarterbacks, Danny O’Brien and Russell Wilson, are each transfers.

Ryan’s block was lifted after officials from Wisconsin met with Uthoff Thursday afternoon, according to ESPN.com. However, the decision upheld disallowing Uthoff to transfer to any of the schools in the Big Ten. Ryan did nothing wrong as far as rules go in this process, but I think he made everyone’s life much more difficult for no reason at all.
