thelantern Is your unpaid internship illegal?

LAUREN HALLOW Lantern reporter hallow.1@osu.edu An article in The New York Times earlier this month about unpaid internships possibly being illegal has sparked much conversation on college campuses across the country. Ohio State is no exception.

The article quoted Nancy J. Leppink, the acting director of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, who said, “If you’re a for-proÿt employer or you want to pursue an internship with

meet to be considered legal, including making sure the intern does not displace regular employees and that the employer gains no immediate advantage from the intern’s work.

However, enforcing these criteria has been a challenge. Many violations go unreported by interns for fear that ÿling a complaint could damage future employment opportunities.

April Calkovsky, internship coordinator for Arts and Sciences Career Services, said she and her ofÿce are doing the best they can to educate students and employers about unpaid internships.

a for-proÿt employer, there aren’t going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law.”

Ronda Baldwin, internship coordinator for the School of Communications at OSU, agrees.

“There is no doubt that there is an increase in the number of organizations who are offering unpaid internships and violating federal law,” Baldwin said in an e-mail. “However, proving the violation can be cumbersome, costly and time-consuming.”

The federal law Leppink and Baldwin are referring to is the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The act includes six criteria that unpaid internships must

Currently, students pay up to 15 percent of their income paying off loans. The law will change the maximum allowed to 10 percent.

Currently, if payments are made on time, any remaining amount is forgiven after 25 years. The law will bring this time period down to 20 years.

2010 Census mail participation rate for campus area

Olentangy River Road

Video: How to complete the census

It takes ÿve minutes to complete. It is self-explanatory, pre-addressed and prepaid. And it is important to individuals, schools and communities. However, thousands of Ohio State students didn’t complete it.

With 10 questions, this year’s census was the shortest form in the history of census data collection, said Rose Simmons, census outreach leader for central Ohio.

The 2010 Census counted every OSU student in campus residence halls via university records.

“We provided the bureau with a roster of statistical information,” said Christy Blessing, OSU’s director of Housing Services. “It’s more accurate that way.”

Dorm-dwellers never saw a census form, but 100 percent of them were accounted for.

However, for students living off campus, the responsibility and civic duty to ÿll out census forms rested in their own mailboxes.

“On-campus was relatively easy to count,” said Kim Hunter, census media specialist for the Detroit region, which encompasses Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. “The real challenge is off campus.”

But the census doesn’t use a margin of error to account for unreturned forms in such areas, including those with high student populations. Whatever is returned is taken as a factual count, said Earlene Dowell, census public affairs specialist.

To better target underrepresented areas, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland established the Ohio Complete Count Committee, Hunter said. It is chaired by State Treasurer Kevin Boyce.

In November 2009, the committee met with census director Robert Groves to discuss how to pursue students. They

JACK MOORE Lantern reporter moore.1732@osu.edu When Congress passed student loan reform, which was tucked into the health care package, President Barack Obama hailed its passage, while critics decried it as yet another government takeover.

But one of the key provisions of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 is not likely to have any effect on Ohio State students.

That’s because the main part of the program — removing private banks as the “middle men” of federal student loans — is something OSU has done since the early 1990s.

“Our students will see no change whatsoever in their relationship with our ofÿce and how we process their loans,” said Diane Stemper, director of Student Financial Aid.

Federal student loans come in two forms: Federal Direct loans and the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Stemper said both offer essentially the same loans. The only difference is in how they are administered.

In the family education program, private banks administer loans to students, but they are subsidized by the federal government for doing so. The government also protects the banks from default. At an event marking the passage of the bill that eliminates this program, Obama called the arrangement a “sweetheart deal” for the banks.

OSU only offers Direct loans, which are administered directly by the federal government.

“It has no impact … on Ohio State University because we have the system in place,” Stemper said, “and have been using it for a very long time.”

Removing the banks will save about $68 billion over 11 years, according to the Congressional

Budget Ofÿce, the non-partisan accounting agency that Congress uses to “score” legislation.

The savings will be used to increase both the availability of Pell Grants, a form of ÿnancial aid for low-income students, and the amount that students will be eligible to receive.

For the current year, 2009-2010, there have been 13,000 recipients of federal Pell Grants at OSU, which is an increase of about 2,000 from last year, Stemper said.

The increase probably re° ects “the economic hardship many families are facing,” she said.

The total amount held by these students is about $48.5 million.

Beginning in 2013, the maximum Pell Grant amount, now set at $5,550 a year per student, will begin increasing until it reaches $5,975 in 2017, according to the Associated Press.

campus Old Navy store at Lennox Center gets a makeover The Lennox location was chosen to be remodeled earlier than other locations, Charnas said, because of demographics, landlord choice and the volume of sales.

The company’s goal is to have 25 percent of the 1,022 Old Navy stores nationwide remodeled by the end of 2010 and have every store ÿnished by the end of 2012, Rexroat said in an e-mail.

A “Customer Experience Survey” is given out to random customers during the check-out process. It is designed for customers to go online and rate their experience at Old Navy based on a 35-point scale.

“The [Customer Experience Survey] points were down because of the confusion with the barricades up during the remodeling, but we’ve risen three points in the last four days and we continue to go up,” Charnas said.

Customer comments include “clothes neatly displayed,” “cashiers are quick, efÿcient and happy” and “store is easy to navigate.”

Charnas said the success is due in part to the staff, which is more than 90 percent Ohio State students, who “helped lead customers through the change without negative effects.”

Still, some customers have yet to notice the new changes.

“I could smell the renovation … the paint smell mostly. But I don’t shop here often enough to really notice the change by myself,” said Kelly Joyce, a ÿrst-year in anthropology.

Sarah Askins, a fourth-year in human development and family science, has worked at the Lennox location for two years.

Askins said she “hasn’t heard a single complaint about the store” but thinks in addition to placing the ÿtting rooms in the center of the store, the number of rooms should increase.

“And I don’t really like the mirrors inside the ÿtting rooms because the ° uorescent lights make them too bright,” she said.

Rexroat agreed the number of ÿtting rooms is the only constraint, but is still excited about the grand reopening on May 15 to which “all students are invited,” he said.

“Old Navy is simply trying to get away from the boxed-in shops and

SAMANTHA HECKATHORN Lantern reporter heckathorn.12@osu.edu The “SuperModelquins” at the Old Navy Lennox store have something new to smile about. The mannequins featured in the clothing store’s commercials are getting a new home that costs about $1 million.

Old Navy at Lennox Town Center, located on Olentangy River Road, is one of three Columbus branches being remodeled. The Sawmill location had its grand reopening in December 2009, and the Easton location is currently under renovation.

“It’s all about sharing an elevated shopping experience with the customer by being more upbeat and vibrant,” said Jeanne Charnas, a manager at the Lennox location who has worked for Old Navy for 10 years. “We’re putting the ‘wow’ back into shopping.”

Bradley Rexroat has been the head manager at the Lennox location since August 2007 and said this renovation is “bringing a fresh face to Old Navy.”

Fitting rooms are now located in the center of the store rather than the back, and cash registers are lined up in a row to create a single line for customers checking out. Charnas said this new layout makes it easier for customers to navigate the store.

The store also has a new paint job and more ° uorescent lighting, part of the “vibrant” aspect Charnas described.

“The store looks bigger now even though nothing changed square footage-wise,” Rexroat said.

Some customers said it appears more products are on display now, but Charnas said the amount has not changed since the renovation.

“It looks different visually because of the ° oor layout,” Charnas said.

“But we’ve made permanent homes for favorite items, like jeans and T-shirts, so customers always know where to go to ÿnd them.”

So far customers have been happy with the changes, Charnas said.

Watergate journalists to speak at OSU PATRICIA HOUSE Lantern reporter house.105@osu.edu Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, famed investigative journalists and authors, will be visiting Ohio State today for an event organized by the John Glenn School of Public Affairs.

Their investigative work during the Watergate Scandal led to the downfall of the Nixon administration. Woodward and Bernstein co-wrote the book “All the President’s Men” about their experience, and it was later turned into a movie. They received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Works in 1973 because of the investigation.

Woodward still writes for The Washington Post

and has written several books, most recently “The War Within: A Secret White House History.”

Bernstein has also written several books, most recently the biography “A Woman In Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

Woodward and Bernstein’s lecture will focus on their perspective on the presidency and federal government policy.

“Of course we have asked them to talk about public affairs,” said Hank Wilson, communications director for the John Glenn School of Public Affairs.

“We are a public affairs school, so we are interested in the take on government and how it works.

Obviously, they have some expertise in that, seeing it ÿ rsthand.”

Woodward and Bernstein both spoke with Ann Fisher on Tuesday morning and mentioned their

upcoming visit to OSU on her show, “All Sides,” which is on WOSU radio.

Woodward and Bernstein touched on the ° ow of information today and the soft news phenomenon.

They also mentioned how much information about the Bush presidency was released through reporters. They said government oversight can only do so much, and journalism plays a crucial role in getting information about the government to the public.

“I think that almost everything that we know about the Bush presidency and about the [Iraq] war we know from the press rather than from Congressional oversight,” Bernstein said.

These are the types of issues that the pair are expected to elaborate on during their lecture.

The lecture will begin at 4 p.m. in the Ohio

Unpaid from 1A

Internship

criteria apply to for-profits “We are working with employers and students in a way that creates the most equitable situation for each, given the present law,” Calkovsky said in an e-mail. “Students should be aware of their rights, and should feel comfortable coming to a career advisor with questions or concerns.”

However, some students might not care if their internship is legal.

“Students, by and large, typically don’t have a concern about [unpaid internships],” said Margie Bogenschutz, senior director of undergraduate career management at the Fisher College of Business. “They want to do this. They want to get it on their resume.”

Bogenschutz said this is especially true for ÿrstand second-year Fisher students who want to gain experience to compete for the more advanced, paid internships that are typically only offered to thirdand fourth-years.

Also, students who want a career in more competitive ÿelds, such as sports marketing, television and the arts, have a mentality that “you have to pay your dues,” so taking an unpaid internship seems completely acceptable and expected, Bogenschutz said.

One OSU student, who asked to remain anonymous, thought her internship last summer with a photography studio was going to be “a dream come true.” However, she was rarely allowed to use the photography equipment, and she instead spent her days sending MySpace messages to her boss’ friends advertising his new music project. One day, she even spent hours burning 200 CDs of his music.

She acknowledged that her unpaid internship was probably illegal, but said she thought it was best for her career that she stay.

“I was deÿnitely not an intern, but a free employee,” she said. “Worse even still, a free employee who needed a positive recommendation.

So I stayed.”

One way companies try to compensate for not paying their interns is to offer students college credit in exchange for the internship, something Bogenschutz said she doesn’t agree with. College credits are through the student’s university, not through the company, so typically students must pay for each credit hour they take. This means a student who gets college credit for an unpaid internship is technically paying money to work for free.

The U.S. Department of Labor website has a special section devoted to internships under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which states that “internships in the for-proÿt private sector will most often be viewed as employment,” meaning those internships should be paid. This is typically not the case, though.

Census from 1A

Completion rates highest in northern off-campus areas used university e-mail services to reach every student.

In an e-mail sent via Buckeye Net News on April 18, OSU students received President E. Gordon Gee’s message: “With support for our schools, infrastructure, and emergency services on the line, I urge you to join me in being counted.”

The census form yields no student distinction. Although students are considered part of the public, they are targeted through campaigns on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.

The Census Portrait of America Road Tour was the largest civic outreach and awareness program in U.S. history, according the census website. It stopped at OSU on April 6 to motivate apathetic off-campus students.

But these students east of High Street participated at a far lower rate than the state and national average.

The census breaks the country down into statistical tracts consisting of several blocks. In the area of 12th Avenue to 16th Avenue, from High Street to the railroad tracks of Fourth Street, 49 percent of households returned census forms.

However, more northern off-campus tracts exhibited more responsibility in completing the census.

Households in the region immediately north of 16th Avenue but south of Lane Avenue had a 56 percent participation rate, and 61 percent in the tract north of Lane returned their forms.

The thousands of students not participating should expect census takers to knock on their doors starting Saturday. These enumerators are hired from the Columbus area, so they have a vested interest in collecting data.

The census website encourages people to “open the door to a census taker and open doors for your community.”

“The enumerators will go to every house that didn’t send a form back,” said Carol Hector-Harris, census media specialist for central Ohio. “Most of it will be done in the evenings and on weekends.”

Census takers knock on doors and ask each census form question, and only those questions. Whoever opens the door should answer for the entire household but should ÿrst check the enumerator’s identiÿcation.

They will never ask to enter a home.

If nobody answers the door, enumerators leave a double-sided notice of visit. This includes a phone number residents can call to schedule a time for census takers to return.

Enumerators will come back up to six times to houses that don’t answer or call them, Hector-Harris said.

They will also call each household up to three times.

“For every one percent increase in the national participation rate by mail, the Census Bureau would save $85 million by not having to send census takers door-to-door,” according to the census website.

In 1970, it cost the Bureau $14.39 per household to collect data. That increased to $29.05 in 1980, $39.61 in 1990 and $69.79 in 2000.

But in 2010, the Bureau spent $110.61 on every household in America, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Ofÿce.

The 2000 Census showed 2,281 households combined in the aforementioned three off-campus tracts. Even a generous participation rate of 60 percent for those households means roughly 912 houses did not return forms, creating a federal waste of $100,876.32 on OSU’s off-campus students alone.

Census data determine the use of $400 billion going to college research, tuition grants and loan programs, among other things.

Loan from 1A

Increased funding in 2013 will benefit students, some say Obama called the increased funding for Pell Grants “one of the most signiÿcant investments in higher education since the G.I. Bill.”

Tally Hart, the senior adviser for economic access at OSU, said the increased Pell Grant funding would let low-income students in fourth and ÿfth grade “know that if they get ready academically for college, money will be there to help them.”

Stemper said the funding increase would be “tremendously beneÿcial” to students even after they graduate.

“The more students that qualify for [a] Pell Grant, you hope that it allows them to borrow less and to graduate with a lower debt burden,” she said.

The reform will also potentially make paying off a student loan debt less onerous for students.

The law dictates that, starting with loans taken out after 2014, borrowers won’t have to spend more than 10 percent of their income paying off student loan debt. Currently, it is 15 percent.

Wednesday April 28, 2010

Career services at OSU are decentralized by school, meaning there is no data on unpaid internships regarding the entire student population.

However, for the School of Communications, the number of paid internships that students completed for internship credit in Autumn Quarter 2008 compared with Autumn Quarter 2009 decreased from 35.5 percent to 23.8 percent. This means that almost 75 percent of the students who completed internships last autumn were unpaid.

Experts argue that one reason unpaid internships are hard to prove illegal is that the six criteria of the Fair Labor Standards Act are outdated and hard to apply to today’s internships.

The act has been amended many times since 1938 to adjust for changes in minimum wage, medical/sick leave and other circumstances.

However, the last time the criteria regarding unpaid internships were updated was in 1947, when unpaid internships were apprenticeships at blue-collar manufacturing plants.

Unpaid internships can be problematic, but both Baldwin and Bogenschutz say that if done correctly, unpaid internships could be very beneÿcial to students in gaining job experience and networking.

“While it would be ideal for students to receive monetary compensation for their time spent at the internship, that is not always an option for the organization,” Baldwin said in an e-mail. “There are many unpaid internships that provide students with excellent learning opportunities, and students should not dismiss those internships based solely on the criteria of being ‘unpaid.’”

Bogenschutz said students should exercise caution in picking an unpaid internship and make sure their employers are on the same page regarding what will be expected of them during the internship.

She put together a list of guidelines for employers wishing to post unpaid internships through the Fisher career ofÿce. The guidelines recommend that interns be paid at least minimum wage for their work but suggests alternatives to the company if this isn’t possible, such as having the student interns sign an agreement that lists their tasks and ensures they will gain valuable experience from this internship.

The six criteria regarding unpaid internships applies only to for-proÿt companies, and not to internships with non-for-proÿt organizations or through government agencies.

Also, “If 100 percent of households mailed back their forms, taxpayers would save $1.5 billion,” according to the census Facebook page.

If that isn’t enough incentive, it is illegal to not participate. Section 221 of Title 13 of the United States Code requires people to respond to census forms.

Something, then, must have motivated thousands of off-campus students to break the law.

Though the Census Bureau doesn’t keep track of student response rates, analysts say students have historically been among the lowest levels of participation. Groves referenced his own college-aged son to address why.

“Our son was surprised that the Census Bureau would mail a questionnaire to his off-campus housing. He thought that my wife and I would report for him. The notion that he and his roommates would have to ÿll out a single 2010 Census form was a shock. They don’t think of themselves as a ‘household.’

There is no one roommate who pays the rent, who gets the mail, who takes on the role of the head of household,” Groves said.

This scenario describes what happened to many OSU students. Others thought that because they don’t own their house, they should not participate.

“We always know that we missed people, but there’s a disproportionate undercount for renters,” Hunter said.

2000 Census data shows that 49.4 percent of housing units in Columbus were renteroccupied, whereas the national average was 32.9 percent.

Other students ignored forms because they are moving soon and didn’t think their data would matter.

Barbara Ronningen, a demographer for the state of Minnesota, said, “Sometimes when students are busy with classes, they forget basic civic obligations.”

Also, if payments are made on time, any remaining amount will be forgiven after 20 years rather than the current 25 years.

The average debt of OSU students graduating with a bachelor’s degree is $23,000, Stemper said.

About 75 percent of colleges and universities use the family education loan program, which will end in July, according to FinAid.org, a website that offers ÿnancial aid information. OSU is among the remaining 25 percent of schools whose loans are administered directly by the Department of Education through university ÿnancial aid ofÿces.

OSU switched from the family education loan program to direct lending a few years after the direct loan program was instituted in the early 1990s, Stemper said.

Though she didn’t work for OSU at that time, she said many schools adopted the federal program because it made the process more “streamlined.”

“Many institutions felt that they could do a better job at getting funds to students more quickly,” she said.

Stemper said most of the Big Ten schools already used the Federal Direct Loan program, but that some other schools were likely “scrambling” to implement the changes that the law requires. The earliest provisions of the law take effect in July.

Cow chase edition

eDITOR-in-Chief

The two cows that broke free on campus last week gave some students an impromptu rehearsal for the Pamplona running of the bulls.

For those trying to tame the agitated animals, it looked more like an introduction to rodeo. For the rest of Ohio State, the cow corral can teach us a lesson about the law.

In Tuesday’s newspaper, we reported that amid the hullabaloo, Lantern photographer Alex Kotran was handcuffed and detained by police, who said the freshman was putting himself in danger. That’s up to police to decide, and it’s irrelevant to the point at hand.

What was really intriguing was that a handful of OSU staff members — not police — told Kotran that he wasn’t allowed to take photographs, even though COLLIN BINKLeY he was on public property. Maybe binkley.44@osu.edu they thought the whole ordeal was udderly embarrassing.

One OSU employee actually stood in front of Kotran to block his view. At one point, a man grabbed Kotran’s arm. Each time, the diligent journalist told them that he was on public property and that he had the right to take pictures.

He was right.

“Generally speaking, he has an absolute right to take pictures on public property,” said Fred Gittes, a Columbus civil rights lawyer.

Under normal circumstances, even police don’t have the right to tell someone that they can’t take photographs on public property. It’s protected by the First Amendment.

During emergencies, such as the cow catastrophe, the rules change.

Police have the right to direct people away from an emergency if they’re interfering with public officials’ ability to respond to the emergency, Gittes said.

Even in those cases, though, people are still allowed to take photos from a distance.

“If you’re at a distance from the site of an emergency or other distance, or you’re not in a physical position to interefere with police … you still have right to take pictures,” Gittes said.

But those rules apply only to police. Staff members at OSU don’t have the same authority to direct the public.

“If they are representatives of the university, it is improper for them to be telling people that something is illegal when it’s not,” Gittes said.

He said that if someone grabbed Kotran’s arm, that could even be considered assault.

Gittes points out that citizens do have the right to detain criminals through citizen’s arrest, but only if they see someone committing a felony. A preliminary police report listed Kotran’s crime as criminal trespass, a misdemeanor.

A week after the dust has settled from the two-cow stampede, we’re still trying to figure out exactly what happened that day. But regardless of whether police pursue charges against Kotran, we hope OSU will use the opportunity to turn this into a teaching moment.

“OSU should make sure its staff is informed about what people can and cannot do on public property so there’s not misinformation,” Gittes said.

We agree. And even if there are no more cattle chases on campus, people should know that we’re allowed to take photographs and report on public property. It’s the law, and we’ll milk it for all it’s worth.

JAY SMITH / Lantern photographer

Alex Kotran, a Lantern photographer, takes photos of two cows at Lincoln Tower Park last Wednesday after the cattle escaped from their owner.

On Tuesday, we reported that a Lantern photographer was handcuffed and detained last week while he was taking photographs of two cows that caused chaos on campus. Here are some comments from thelantern.com.

Anonymous First of all, I have to say a superb job by The Lantern, it is reassuring to see young students out there with the brass cojones to go out there and get the story, no holds barred. On the other hand, those animals seemed to be pretty agitated and could you imagine what it would mean if student was mauled/run over by few cows and killed right then and there on OSU campus? Police might have not handled the whole thing in best manner possible, but I can understand their concern about safety...yet from that to arresting photojournalist is quite a sad leap.

Anonymous perhaps a new case of MADCOP dis-ease Versy Miller For some reason, cops all over the country hate photographers. The bigger issues here are how the whole situation got started and how the cops responded. They should detain and arrest themselves for how poorly they handled it.

Anonymous I was monitoring OSU police communications during the event. Based on the dramatic dispatches I heard over the air, I imagined Kotran was maybe stealing something, assaulting someone, or perhaps vandalizing the public property he was standing on. He was snapping pictures with his camera.

Coach’s daughter looks back on high school finale It’s common to look back on certain experiences and say “that’s when it all changed.” At the last football game of my final year of high school, a realization struck that has influenced me beyond adolescence.

It was 7:30 p.m. on Friday night. I was becoming aware that this was the last time my friends and I would applaud the boys we’d been applauding for four years in the stadium my family helped build.

Football is an integral part of me because my father, Barry Goettemoeller, has been coaching all my life. By that moment of kickoff, one thought had pushed all others away. This was my last high school football game I would share with my dad.

GueST Columnist

This continues an occasional series of stories written by Ohio State students, faculty and stuff, describing an important day in their lives.

NICOLe GOeTTeMOeLLeR goettemoeller.65@osu.edu

I’d never had a commendable relationship with my father and more conflict developed throughout high school because it was hard for us to coexist. His personal and professional lives collided. He struggled with that.

We always argued about what I could wear, who I could hang out with and where I could go.

His primary concern was how

“

”

I’ve always loved football. It’s the only foundation upon which my relationship with my father was built, but until Oct. 20, 2006, I never understood its magnitude.

my actions affected his position in the school and community.

This sparked resentment in me that would rise like hot magma waiting to spew everywhere.

Occasionally, though, a light would shine through. Watching football together, helping him record tackling statistics while reviewing film and seeing him on the sidelines as I cheered from the stands on Fridays made me feel closer to him. Gamedays always indicated a cease-fire.

According to him, this

commonality exists because I “know what passion and effort is put into the job without much praise,” and feel obligated to “pay homage to his life and career by showing similar passion.”

That’s true, to an extent.

I’ve always loved football. It’s the only foundation upon which my relationship with my father was built, but until Oct. 20, 2006, I never understood its magnitude.

Three years have passed and I still remember the sound

of the marching band, the smell of grass and sweat, the feeling of the crisp October air, and the total contentment that consumes me while watching my favorite sport in its purest form. I was the coach’s daughter, wide receiver’s girlfriend and team’s proudest fan.

These titles had become my identity.

The game flew by. We lost 20-6, but strangely it didn’t matter. Once the clock ran out I headed to the field to hug my dad and tell him how proud I was, a ritual that by then felt more natural than brushing my teeth.

Then, my dad’s Senior Night ritual began. He and every senior player went to the far end zone and joined hands, spreading sideline to sideline, and they took their final walk across their field.

I’d watched the “senior walk” at least five times, but standing beneath the scoreboard

with Pierce Oaks, a junior and my boyfriend throughout high school, I discovered a paternal correlation in this act of closure and suddenly couldn’t control the tears that were falling from my eyes.

Pierce recently told me that suddenly “I could tell you didn’t want the moment to end because you knew it was something you always shared.”

He said my response showed him “how much it really meant and how it could affect more than just the players.”

I realized that having my relationship with my father rely on our common passion wasn’t a burden, but a unique blessing, because it brought us together. It sounds silly. But at those elusive moments when our differences and resentments disappear, I know there isn’t anybody else I would rather call my dad.

High Street protester: We should all defend workers Letter to the editor CHeLSeA PfLuM pflum.7@osu.edu Many in the Ohio State community probably found themselves quite puzzled, or perhaps angered, about the group of 19 people who plopped down in the middle of High Street until the police took them away in handcuffs [on Thursday, April 15]. It is so easy to look at this event and just see a group of rabble-rousers, students who are just trying to find a way to be rebellious, and union organizers who just want to increase their base of due-paying members.

Before just accepting this negative viewpoint as the truth, however, maybe take a minute and really

4A

think through why a group of people would voluntarily get arrested.

I am a sophomore at OSU and I have been involved with the group United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) almost since the beginning of my university career.

I got involved because in high school I had been taught a lot about injustices against workers, especially in garment factories abroad, and I realized that this was really the issue that mattered. If there are no jobs, or if workers are not paid enough to live, then poverty ensues, health issues arise from the extreme poverty, governments become corrupt and collapse under its weight, and a vicious cycle ensues. While this picture is extreme, it is an accurate depiction of what is going on in varying degrees around the world, even here in the United States.

So what does any of this have to do with the

protest last Thursday? I cannot speak for the other protestors, though I imagine their reasons for joining are rather similar to mine, but my reason for sitting down in High Street, being arrested and sitting in a jail cell until 2 a.m. stems from my belief that if we can improve jobs, really pay our citizens decent wages as they serve us food or clean our offices, then we will be able to improve society as a whole.

Right now there are workers here at OSU who cannot afford to buy food and have to go on food stamps, who can’t afford health care and who deal with sexual harassment by their managers. True, these workers could try and find a job in OSU’s campus dining services and probably get much better treatment, since these workers do have collective bargaining agreements, but then new workers would just fill the stadium jobs and the same abuses would continue to occur.

The jobs need to change, and in order for that to

happen the company has to change. And who is it that hires the company? Ohio State. We should not tolerate people on our campus being treated this way while they work hard to support themselves and their families, and that is why I stepped onto High Street last Thursday, because I will not tolerate it.

The rally was meant to get peoples’ attention and to make people aware of how campus workers are treated, and at the same time to pressure President E. Gordon Gee to actually do something to make sure that all workers on our campus are treated with respect and dignity and are paid enough to support themselves and their families.

If we as students, as a university community, do not stand up and support workers fighting for their rights, then who will? Only together will our voices be heard and will we actually change things for the better.

rAAd ShubAIly Lantern Reporter shubaily.3@osu.edu Columbus contains one of the largest populations of college students in America — the same segment of society known for a never-ending desire to party. As if providing “adult” beverages weren’t enough to fuel the fire, the Scarlet and Grey Café has made it clear the party doesn’t start until Stretch Lefty takes the stage.

Showing off a blend of genreinfusing hip-hop, Stretch Lefty has effectively gotten people moving and shaking at the Scarlet and Grey every Thursday night.

“It’s hip-hop and whatever,” said Eric Rollin, one of the two singer/ rappers in the band. “We’re making what feels good.”

The weekly show started near the end of 2008, and the band only takes summers off.

“We’re always down to do

anything for the community,” said Johnny Williamson, who shares vocal duties with Rollin.

This is highlighted by the band’s upcoming concert at the Ohio Union Grand Ballroom next Thursday.

“Feed Ohio’s Future” is a benefit concert that donates all the proceeds to the Children’s Hunger Alliance of Ohio. The organization provides services to feed thousands of children across the state.

Other than being an active part of the community, Stretch Lefty is working on refining its aesthetic.

There’s no problem with the energy level. The group plays with a liveliness that keeps the dance floor and the stage busy. Performance technique aside, Rob Riley said he learned about 18 songs in three days when Williamson first invited him to join as drummer.

The difficulty lies in playing the hectic game known as show business. There are many elements to being a professional artist, and one of them is the money.

“It’s all for the music,” Rollin said.

“When you’ve been playing for seven or eight years, it’s cool to play for free,” but with changing priorities that often come with age, it gets a bit more complicated. He summarized the situation, saying “it’s hard to balance art and business.”

One tactic Stretch has adopted is the release of shorter albums containing only four or five tracks. Guitarist Anthony Fancelli said the goal is to “put it in the ears of everyone.”

“We want to release a lot of small things and put out as much new material as possible,” he said.

“Beat Down and Broken,” the band’s latest work, was released in March. It contains five tracks, half as many as 2008’s release “Universe Box.” Fancelli explained the method, saying they want to release bits and pieces over the years to test which style fans really like.

The common thread in the band’s music is hip-hop, as most verses are filled with rapping rather than singing.

Other than that, many different genres

come and go. Some tunes lean on the funky side, and some are more soulful. There are even some reggae grooves on “Universe Box.” Overall, “Beat Down and Broken” is more upbeat than the 2008 release.

The title track opens with a jingling guitar lick and horns reminiscent of James Brown and the ‘70s funk scene. The only slow song is the final track, “Broken Record,” a five-minute ballad that makes for a mellow ending to the album.

As Stretch Lefty closes in on its 10-year celebration of coming together, everything is running smoothly.

“Beat Down and Broken” inspired a newly remodeled website, Thursdays are on lockdown at the Scarlet and Grey, and the group is working on building its fan base with a schedule booked up until June.

In terms of the future, “we’re trying to do some festivals even though we’re not a jam band,” Williamson said. As for now, “we’re just shopping the EP.”

OSU Symphony readies to ring in spring JAMI JurIch Lantern reporter jurich.4@osu.edu Although Ohio State’s Symphony Orchestra uses music as its form of expression, there is a deeper message in its performance than simply playing notes on a page.

Under the direction of Marshall Haddock, OSU’s Symphony Orchestra will take the stage at the Weigel Auditorium today for the first of two spring concerts. Some members of the ensemble, such as Matt Mauro, hope the audience looks past the notes to the true meaning of the music.

Mauro said the orchestra’s goal for the performance should be to go beyond just playing music.

“Don’t just give notes on a page.

Go beyond that,” Mauro said. “Leave the audience with something we were trying to say.”

The ensemble will perform several pieces, including a Mozart symphony, a piece by Georges Bizet and orchestral selections from an opera

by Richard Wagner, which they have been practicing since the beginning of Spring quarter, Haddock said.

For Mauro, the Bizet piece stands out because it is so diverse.

“For this piece, there are four very different movements, or sections, and I just like the variety and color in that,” Mauro said.

Each piece is different from the others, but Haddock said all the selections showcase the ability of the orchestra.

“I don’t know if you could say there is a theme,” Haddock said, “but I always pick songs based on what we can play.”

Just as the selections differ stylistically, Haddock also said he thinks the audience’s perceptions of the concert will differ. He said he thinks the

“I expect that everyone who’s there will take away their own version of what happened,” Haddock said.

Mauro feels the classical music the orchestra will perform can provide a change of pace for audience members who listen to contemporary music.

“Classical music is beautiful because of the refinement. It’s really sophisticated,” Mauro said. “There is just so much thought behind it.”

“Not to diminish what people are doing now, but music nowadays is much more simple,” he said of contemporary music. “It’s fun to listen to, but it lacks a lot of the complexity

of this style of music [classical].

Everyone can enjoy it.”

Haddock said he hopes the performance will be an enjoyable learning experience for both the audience and the 65 performers, who he said could learn considerably throughout the entire process.

“They learn in the rehearsals,” Haddock said of the performers.

“And there is always something to be learned from performing in front of this type of audience.”

The Orchestra is chosen through an intense audition process. Most members are music majors, Haddock said, and the purpose of the orchestra for these students is to hone their performance skills.

Mauro, who has been playing the horn since sixth grade, is excited for the performance. He said he has always loved performing music, and this show is no exception.

“We’ve put in a lot of preparation, a lot of hours in rehearsal,” Mauro said. “I’m excited to play for people who want to listen and to have it all come together in one final big performance.”

The Symphony Orchestra concert will be held in the Weigel Auditorium at OSU at 8 p.m. tonight. The cost is $6 for general admission or $4 for senior citizens and students with an ID.

Book Club suggests… “Girl in Translation” Jean Kwok

Jean Kwok’s debut ÿction novel tells the story of China native, Ah-Kim Chang, as she makes the transition from Hong Kong to Brooklyn.

Known as Kimberly in the U.S., Chang excels in school and learns English quickly. However, that is the only part of Chang’s life that comes easy — she and her mother are in debt and live under the poverty line.

With no other choice, Chang is forced to go to school during the day and work both nights and weekends. The Chinatown clothing factory where Chang and her mother work pays enough to only keep the two alive.

Despite leading a double life, Chang gets admitted to a private high school that accepts only the best students. At the new school, Chang quickly ÿnds out that she doesn’t quite ÿt in with the other students, and ÿnds a whole new set of American standards to adjust to.

“Girl in Translation” follows Chang through the struggles of a young girl living in a world completely different from the one she grew up in.

Students write personal stage shows for Theater Department distinction projects JAcOb brOWNING Lantern reporter browning.150@osu.edu Boy meets girl. It’s an old story. A story heard from daily life and many of Hollywood’s romantic comedies. How about, boy meets a girl specifically made to be his soul mate?

A group of Ohio State theater students are working on the world premiere of a play titled “Soul Mate Factory.”

NICK KROLL

Angela Henderson, 22, is a theater major who is the playwright of the new work. She wrote the play in fall 2009.

“One night, I stayed up all night and finished the script because I wanted it out of my brain,” Henderson said. “I got off work at 2 a.m. and I was up till 11 a.m. because it was there. The whole pathway: brain, fingers, paper. I just needed it out.”

“Soul Mate Factory” is set in the future. The U.S. has been influenced by factors such as the growing use of birth control and China’s one-child policy.

Eventually, the U.S. government has a response. Through a process unknown by the public, women are found and paired to have a relationship with a specific man with high intelligence.

“It focuses on how technology affects our inner personal relationships,” Henderson said. “If they were made for someone and if they were made to love someone, then what’s the difference?

Because people spend their whole lives looking for someone they’re made for.”

Henderson’s play is also her distinction project for her theater major. There

WHITNEY CUMMINGS

was another new work and distinction project staged over the weekend.

Elissa Goonan, 21, is a theater major acting in both of the projects, including Henderson’s play. She explained how she felt about being the first to perform a role for the playwrights.

“I like it, but it is a lot of pressure because I know the people who wrote the works,” Goonan said. “They put a lot of hard work into writing these shows, and I don’t want them to be disappointed. Yet, it’s interesting, because you get to put your own spin on it.”

CHELSEA PERETTI

Also, because the plays are distinction projects, the theater majors are guided by advisers.

Kiley Morgan, a senior theater major, has also written her own play for her distinction project.

“I am getting a lot of feedback from my committee who are theater faculty members,” Morgan said. “It’s a good idea in terms of workshopping a script.”

Henderson’s play, “Soul Mate Factory,” will have its first performance next Friday in the Drake Performance and Event Center.

Murderer’s Row

closky.2@osu.edu In 1927, the New York Yankees lineup was called “murderers’ row” for the punishing pain they caused opposing pitchers.

Now, 83 years later, catcher Sam Marder has resurrected the nickname to describe the heart of the Ohio State softball lineup.

This season, the Buckeyes have been powered by hitting. Through 41 games, the team has a .308 batting average, 45 home runs and has scored 243 runs.

These statistics can largely be attributed to the success of its No. 2 through No. 5 hitters.

Though the lineup has changed throughout the year, coach Linda Kalafatis has kept these four hitters in the same spot for the past three weeks.

The lineup features Whitney Cooper, Alicia Herron, Marder and

Under pressure: OSU’s success dependent on clutch hitting BLaKe wiLLiaMs Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu The flood of two-out run production has run dry.

The Ohio State baseball team had displayed a knack for key hits with two outs in its previous two Big Ten series, but it left 27 runners on base during last weekend’s contest with Penn State.

In six games against Michigan State and Indiana, the Buckeyes scored half of their runs (21 of 42) with two hitters retired.

OSU won both of those series. That clutch hitting was absent against the Nittany Lions, who took two of three from the Buckeyes.

Right fielder Brian DeLucia, who had four of those 21 RBIs, acknowledged that relying on two-out runs is a dangerous game to play.

“You’re not always that lucky and

you’re not always that fortunate,” DeLucia said. “With runners on first and second with no outs or one out, we got to find a way to get those runners around and not wait till we have two outs.”

Unfortunately, the team waited too long and dropped the final two games of the series while leaving potential runs on the bases.

Coach Bob Todd was not worried

ZaCK MeiseL meisel.14@osu.edu

Everyone’s circumstances are different. It’s probably unfair to judge another’s decision without a full scope of the factors under consideration.

But I’ll jump to this conclusion: It’s time for athletes to start seeking more accurate advice, or stop listening to outsiders altogether.

Not that the New York Times is hot after my column, but even with a year as sports editor under my belt, I’m certainly not eyeing a premature leap to the pros when I finish my junior year in June.

I’ll remain in school, continue to progress as a journalist and weigh my options after I earn my degree next year.

If only college athletes followed suit and stopped peering into crystal balls.

A case can be made for just about any athlete skipping a year or two of eligibility for the chance to get a fat paycheck, as long as that payday is “in the bank.”

No one’s criticizing Evan Turner for forgoing his senior season. The junior suffered a broken back in December and is a lock to be a top-three pick in June’s NBA Draft.

We’ve even come to accept the players that use the college scene as a formality. Let’s not kid ourselves; if no rule mandated it, John Wall would not have attended Kentucky.

But because that regulation exists, Wall appeased David Stern and suited up in blue and white for a few months. It’s safe to say no one was shocked when the freshman declared for the NBA shortly after the Wildcats were bounced from the NCAA Tournament.

Turner and Wall are not the issue. Props to them for excelling athletically to the point in which they don’t need a full four years.

But the fad of brushing aside eligibility has spread way too far.

Players considering entering the NBA Draft have until May 8 to withdraw their names. In other words, hordes of unprepared kids have 10 days until Armageddon.

Their fate will be decided based upon whether they objectively compare their measurables to the draft’s competition or if they heed the twisted advice of greedy

Lethal lineup leading to wins

As soon as Howard “Hopalong” Cassady stepped onto the field, he was a difference-maker.

“He was the guy that could make the big play when you needed it the most,” said Jack Park, author of The Official Ohio State Football Encyclopedia.

That is exactly what the running back did in his first game at Ohio State, as he recorded three touchdowns in a win over Indiana.

Cassady played for OSU from 1952-55, which was unusual at the time because most players only played three seasons then.

Cassady also played for the baseball team. He led the team in home runs in 1955 and in stolen bases in 1956.

He graduated from Central High School in Columbus.

When he came to OSU, he played offense and defense for under legendary coach Woody Hayes.

Cassady won the Heisman Trophy and

Hopalong from 1B

Cassady spent majority of professional career with Detroit Lions

Mays and Mickey Mantle — won it in 1954 and 1956, respectively.

Cassady excelled on defense as much as he did on offense. As a cornerback, he never allowed a reception to be caught on him in a Big Ten game, Park said. He also said that when Cassady was on the field, OSU never allowed a big play on defense.

But what made Cassady famous was his elusive running style, which earned him his nickname from sportswriters. He would hop all over the field.

“Hopalong was fast and good at getting around the corner,” Park said.

The play that determined Cassady’s career was an 88-yard interception return against the No. 2 ranked Wisconsin Badgers in 1954. A close game in the third quarter, Cassady intercepted a pass and ran it back for a touchdown. This was symbolic because it changed the atmosphere of the game and saved the season, leading to the Buckeyes’ second national title.

“This [showed] the real mark of a champion,” Park said.

After college, Cassady spent six years with the Detroit Lions and also played a season each with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns. He returned to the Lions for his eighth and final season before retiring.

In 1979, Cassady was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. On Nov. 18, 2000, at halftime against Michigan, OSU retired Cassady’s No. 40 in Ohio Stadium.

Outside of football, Cassady became an entrepreneur and formed a company that manufactured concrete pipe, steel and ships. More recently, he has served as a scout for the New

Heading into the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Tournament as the top seed, the Ohio State men’s volleyball team could easily grow complacent.

The No. 10 Buckeyes have won 10 consecutive matches, including a 3-0 win against tonight’s opponent, No. 13 Ball State.

“We ended up beating three rivals to end the season,” said middle hitter Kevin Heine, “so the team is feeling pretty confident.”

By winning the regularseason conference title for the fourth consecutive season, OSU earned a first-round bye in the quarterfinals and will host the semifinal match.

Many players agreed that this was a big advantage, as they will get to play in front of their home crowd and won’t have to travel.

The Buckeyes might also have the most talent in the conference. Redshirt junior Steven Kehoe was named the MIVA Player of the Year. He and three other Buckeyes are also members of the all-conference team, tied for the most from one school.

Additionally, coach Pete Hanson was named the MIVA Co-Coach of the Year.

Although all the signs point to success in the tournament, the team knows it can’t take anything for granted.

“We have a pretty healthy respect for our opponents,” Kehoe said.

From here on out, any mistakes could result in the end of the season.

“We know that every game is a must win,” Heine said.

In order to advance to the NCAA championship in May, the Buckeyes basically must win the MIVA tournament.

The NCAA championship features the three conference winners and one at-large bid, but should they lose, the

Buckeyes likely would not receive the at-large bid.

The Buckeyes did not let the extra time off because of the bye go to waste.

“We had a really good focus at practice,” Heine said.

The team spent last week working on its own skills and going back to the basics, sophomore Shawn Sangrey said.

This week, practices shifted focus to preparing specifically for their next opponent Ball State, redshirt junior John Klanac said.

The Buckeyes also understand that the entire team needs to play well for it to succeed.

“Everyone understood their roles on the team,” Kehoe said.

Especially at the end of the long season, the rest of the team is there to pick each other up when someone isn’t playing to its potential, Klanac said.

“We don’t let anyone slack off,” Sangrey said.

The Buckeyes face Ball State tonight at 7 p.m. in St. John Arena.

Thursday, April 29 Saxbe Auditorium • Drinko Hall 55 W. 12th Ave.

A workshop

by Mahzarin Banaji

Mahzarin Banaji is the Richard Clarke Cabot Professor of Social Ethics in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University.

She received her Ph.D. from Ohio State in 1986, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. Banaji’s focus is on how an “unconsicous mind” creates automatic preferences and beliefs about social groups, such as gender, age, class, race/ethnicity, sexuality, nationality and religion. Her research examines how well-intentioned people behave in ways that deviate from their own stated intentions.

share production in middle of OSU lineup bring me in,” Cooper said. “I tend to be a person who thinks too much. That is probably when I do the worst. So, I mainly try and hit the ball on the ground and do whatever coach asks me to do, if she gives me a sign.”

Kalafatis said that having Cooper hit second is a huge advantage for the lineup.

“I think what makes us a little more unique is that in our two spot we have a pretty big girl,” Kalafatis said. “We are not always necessarily looking to bunt over.”

Sophomore shortstop Herron follows Cooper in the lineup. There is no need to mention a sophomore slump with this player in the third spot. Herron is hitting a remarkable .432, which not only leads the team, but the Big Ten as well.

“I feel like all of a sudden things started clicking more,” Herron said. “We make each other better and are more confident in each other’s abilities. We know that we can all produce and it’s fun.”

A big part of Herron’s success could be that she hits in front of Marder, an All-American.

The senior, who leads the team in home runs and RBIs, likes the attention that comes with being the fourth hitter.

“I like being the four hitter because teams might overlook Whitney, Alicia or Pruner,” Marder said. “They just assume that the four hitter is the best hitter in the lineup, but what other teams don’t know is that on any day any one of us can be the best hitter.”

Though Marder is OSU’s all-time home run leader, she still does not consider herself strictly a power hitter.

“I don’t think about power or average,” Marder said. “I just want to get a hit, and if it happens to go into a gap or over the wall, it is just a bonus.”

Marder has been walked 42 times this

ohio state’s whitney Cooper catches a throw from the outfield as a runner slides into second base. season, meaning designated player Courtney Pruner has had a lot of opportunities with runners on base.

“I like hitting fifth in the order,” senior Pruner said. “It’s a confidence booster for me because they’re going to walk Sam to pitch to me. So, let’s see if you can blow it by me.”

Pruner is third on the team with 31 RBIs, but Marder takes the blame for that.

“I think Pruner wants to move me out of the four spot so she can get more RBIs,” Marder joked. “She gets on my case all the time. I’ll be on first and she will hit one in the gap and I only get to third base, whereas other girls might score.”

it doesn’t matter when you get runs, the key is to get them,” Todd said.

Though Todd downplayed the importance of timing, he added that two-out hitting is something that is regularly emphasized in practice.

“We do drills … situations weekly with two outs,” DeLucia

No matter who is leading in the statistical categories, “murderers’ row” is deadly.

“If you look at two through five, they are all girls who have played a lot of games and have been in a lot of pressure situations,” Cooper said. “I think all our experience is what makes us come through.”

The four players do not question Kalafatis about her lineup. All four hitters agree with the order as it stands.

Kalafatis was surprised Marder called the group of hitters “murderers’ row.”

“Oh, it’s not Marder’s row?” she said.

said. “That’s something we practice and we got to look for the right pitch.”

Finding the right pitch is more important for this team than handling the pressure of two outs, DeLucia said.

“We have talked about it as a group that the way you win a lot of close ball games is to come

through with some big two-out base hits,” Todd said.

The Buckeyes hope to return to their clutch ways by doing just that as they look to hold onto their place atop the Big Ten standings.

agents who want “I”s dotted, “T”s crossed and cash paid.

Take a look at some of the early entries for this year’s draft.

Junior Alex Tyus averaged 11.8 points and 6.9 rebounds for 21-13 Florida. He eclipsed 20 points just three times all season.

And at 6-feet-8-inches, Tyus doesn’t carry a large enough frame to excite front offices.

Seton Hall’s Jeff Robinson might be calling it a collegiate career after a junior season in which he averaged 12.2 points and 5.8 rebounds. Robinson topped 17 points just twice all season and is an undersized forward at 6-feet-6-inches.

Guard Eniel Polynice from Mississippi befuddles me the most. The junior scored just 8.8 points per game for the Rebels, never topping 17 points and never sniffing double digit totals for rebounds or assists in any contest. How he could possibly

consider himself ready and talented enough for the NBA is baffling.

Now, each of these players (and there are plenty more to choose from) might have extenuating circumstances. It’s near impossible to pinpoint exactly how much can be gained from an additional year of seasoning.

And it’s certainly a wise play to test the waters.

But it’s a dangerous game.

The more effort an athlete puts forth in trying to determine his draft stock, the more attached that player becomes to the idea of going pro.

Another year of classes and homework and exams might be painful, but having a degree will ease the pain suffered when Stern fails to utter their names on draft night.

Athletes improve with more experience. For those not talented enough to take their own version of the John Wall Kentucky vacation, staying in school can’t hurt. I’m pretty sure the New York Times would agree.
