In a town-hall style meeting Tuesday, President E. Gordon Gee talked to students about safety on and off campus. Lighting issues, concealed-carry concerns and joint jurisdiction discussions were the main points of the meeting.

Gee addresses students’ crime concerns Rose Zhou Lantern reporter zhou.371@osu.edu After a tumultuous seven months of on- and off-campus crime, President E. Gordon Gee addressed safety concerns, saying he felt joint jurisdiction between Ohio State Police and Columbus Division of Police should be a priority and he has no intention of changing OSU’s code which prevents students from carrying guns on campus.

In a town-hall style meeting Tuesday in the Cartoon Room of the Ohio Union, Gee and other OSU officials answered several questions about campus safety.

In high school, playing hooky and skipping a day of classes was sometimes punishable by detention, but what about in college? Should students be required to go to every class?

At Ohio State, like many other universities, whether or not students ultimately go to class is up to them, but some professors emphasize the importance of attending every class.

English professor Margaret Goscilo said she allows students to have only two unexcused absences per quarter because “students who aren’t in class don’t do as well.”

“Class is a necessity,” Goscilo said. “It’s just silly to not be there.”

Communication professor Brad Bushman

agrees that class is necessary to students’ success, although he does not take attendance in his classes.

“It’s their choice, but my goal is to make (my students) want to come to class,” Bushman said.

“Even the best and brightest students can benefit from going to class.”

Bushman said he thinks students who attend class earn better grades than those who don’t, but that isn’t his job to ensure students attend his lectures.

“They’re adults. This is not elementary school, this is not middle school, this is not high school,” Bushman said. “They’re adults. It’s their money, they can do whatever they want with it.”

Associate professor of statistics Jackie Miller agreed with Bushman’s sentiments.

“I should be offering you something in lecture such that you want to be there, and forcing you to be there is ridiculous,” Miller said.

Denton said while some crimes were highlighted and well-publicized, there weren’t any significant crime problems on campus during Winter Quarter.

While many of the crimes happen in the off-campus area, this area is under the jurisdiction and responsibility of the Columbus Police, Denton said.

“We do work very closely in partnership with them, we share a lot of information almost on daily basis,” Denton said.

Gee said the university has taken large measures to ensure off-campus safety.

“This is an urban area,” Gee said. “Whenever you are in a big city, no matter what it is, we need to teach rules and roles of safety. Nonetheless, I do know the neighborhood and I want to continue to see it improved.”

Gee said the purpose of the meeting was to hear from students about suggestions for how they want the university to approach safety issues.

“This is not about us telling you what we are doing, this is about us hearing what we need to be doing,” Gee said.

GUniversity Police Chief Paul Denton and Sean McLaughlin, director of off-campus and commuter student engagement, joined Gee.

Low popularity and technical problems for Undergraduate Student Government’s Buckeye Bookswap left about 450 books unsold after the program concluded last week.

Still, USG President Nick Messenger called the program, which aimed to give students a forum to sell books directly to one another, cutting out any bookstore upcharge, a success.

USG director of academic affairs Sean Fitzpatrick said they collected about 500 books at the end of Winter Quarter, but only sold about 10 percent of them.

The books were only collected during finals week of Winter Quarter, but some students misunderstood and were upset when they tried to sell their books last week and were turned away.

“I didn’t hear about the program … I got no emails about it,” said Sahra Abdul, a third-year in pre-nursing, who was disappointed when USG wouldn’t accept her books at their table in the Ohio Union last week. “They should accept books later than the first week of the quarter.”

Messenger said that in the future, “one of the things we can focus on is a way to continue the collection of books after that first week.”

Aside from people who were unable to sell the books they had from Winter Quarter, Messenger said he received encouraging student feedback on the program.

“Everyone who used it was extremely positive,” Messenger said. “The next step is how we turn that into a wider thing.”

Messenger said the most popular books sold were for large general education curriculum classes such as chemistry, biology and economics, a pattern he expected before the program began.

“A lot of GEC books are more expensive.

Students want to get them for as little as possible,” Messenger said.

The book collection took place outside the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library and inside the Ohio Union. The books were resold after spring break in the Ohio Union only.

Despite the convenient ability to buy textbooks without leaving campus, some students said they still preferred to buy their books by other means.

“I prefer ordering off Amazon,” said Hannah

campus Statewide probe shows signs of cheating Katie Higgins Lantern reporter higgins.254@osu.edu

A statewide investigation of standardized testing has admissions offices paying close attention.

Standardized testing is a vital part of educational records and could make or break admittance to a college or university. Any sign of cheating could raise red flags in admission offices nationwide.

A recent analysis from the Dayton Daily News found hundreds of Ohio school districts and charter schools show signs of cheating on standardized tests.

The patterns found are just indications that cheating could have occurred in the past seven years, according to the report. There will be no proof until further investigation.

“No tests scores have been recalled as of yet,” said Stephanie Sanders, Ohio State’s interim director of admissions operations.

However, Sanders said if the Admissions Office is notified that certain test scores are evoked or certain placement sites are fraudulent, the office will have to take immediate action.

“If there became an issue with someone who we thought passed but hadn’t and who had been offered acceptance, the university would have to cancel admission,” Sanders said.

Although the Committee on Academic Misconduct does not directly deal with this issue, it would still report any cases to the admissions office, said Tim Curry, coordinator of OSU’s Committee on Academic Misconduct.

“That wouldn’t fall under our jurisdiction, but if I had a case, I would refer it to admissions and they would have to investigate it,” Curry said.

Admission investigations and retractions are seen on a case-by-case basis, Sanders said.

“We would have to figure out if the test is a big

OSU dishes out millions to employees Sarah Stemen Oller reporter stemen.66@osu.edu Ohio State made seven of its employees millionaires last year — at that’s just from bonuses.

Seven OSU employees received bonuses of more than $1 million in 2011. Additionally, 25 employees were paid bonuses of $100,000 or more, according to payroll records.

The university handed out 4,028 bonuses in 2011, more than double the 1,693 given in 2010. Thirteen employees on OSU’s 2011 payroll earned more than $1 million in salary, including men’s basketball coach Thad Matta and former football coach Jim Tressel.

Matta made more money than all other OSU employees in 2011, grossing about $2.2 million with a bonus of more than $1,095,000. Steven Jack Kalbfleisch, an OSU clinical professor of cardiovascular medicine, raked in the biggest bonus of almost $1.4 million, with an annual salary of more than $2 million. Tressel ended up making more than $1.8 million in 2011, with a bonus of more than $1 million.

Jim Lynch, an OSU spokesman, said

2A

some of the money spent in bonuses was paid out as part of the athletics department, which does not rely on tuition or tax dollars.

“More than 10 percent of the money spent in bonuses were part of the Athletics Department,” Lynch said. “Bonuses for coaches and assistant coaches are all defined in their performance-based contracts.”

Daniel Brandt, a third-year in natural resources management, said though the numbers are high, they are expected in an athletic setting.

“In the culture of sports, one of the main reasons why the school made so much money this year was because of Jim Tressel and the football program,” Brandt said. “I don’t know if that’s fair or not, but the football program generates a lot of revenue that goes back to the school.”

The four remaining employees who received $1 million bonuses were all employees at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State and clinical professors or assistant professors.

Lynch said the medical center is self-sustaining. It was named by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Hospitals for the 19th consecutive year.

“Many of the university bonuses from 2011 are within our nationally recognized Wexner

Medical Center, which does not operate using any tuition or tax dollars,” Lynch said. “The Wexner Medical Center is a self-sustaining operation.”

In 2011, OSU paid its employees more than $25.6 million in bonuses with a payroll totaling $1.8 billion for 2011. As the number of bonuses more than doubled, there was an 88.8 percent increase in the bonus pay OSU dished out to its employees.

Daniel Jeffries, a third-year in theater, said he does not agree with the big bonuses.

“I’m not saying they don’t deserve it, but that’s a lot of money that we’ll never see and it could be going somewhere else,” Jeffries said. “With professors, a lot of them don’t really teach and have teaching assistants do a lot of their work. Actions are bigger than words.”

The 7.6 percent payroll increase from 2010 to 2011 not only outpaced the 3 percent inflation rate, but also came after the Board of Trustees approved a 3.5 percent tuition increase for the same year.

reason why we made the admission and we reserve the right to detract admissions,” Sanders said.

If test scores are proven to be faulty, some students from Ohio school districts will be affected.

Some because of their own unethical actions and other students because of faulty test sites.

“I’d be really mad,” said Keegan Hale, a thirdyear in civil engineering. “Ohio State is a really good university that people like to work hard for. I worked hard to get here.”

The test score patterns found in Ohio are similar to those that indicated cheating in Atlanta. The Dayton Daily News reported that the likelihood of such spikes in test scores was less than one in 1000. It also stated that more than 500 school districts and charter schools in Ohio show questionable test score spikes during the years that were examined.

Crime from 1A should be a priority of Columbus Police and University Police.

“University Police have police authority on university property,” Denton said. “There are agreements called mutual-aid agreements that allow agencies to share resources off your own jurisdiction.”

Denton said both agencies are in talks to work out a mutual aid agreement in the next couple of months. Gee said this is a priority for OSU. “We are very committed to making this happen,” Gee said.

Michael Newbern, a second-year in industrial system engineering and president for Buckeyes for Concealed Carry on Campus, said the crime rate trends down during Winter Quarter during most years because of the weather.

“Winter Quarter goes around, the crime doesn’t trend back up yet because conditions outside aren’t really favorable,” Newbern said.

During the meeting, Newbern asked Gee about the idea of allowing students to legally carry firearms on campus.

Gee said he does not believe in allowing guns on

Class from 1A Goscilo had a different opinion.

“I think it would be wonderful to not have to police attendance, but I almost don’t dare leave it up to students,” Goscilo said.

Miller requires attendance in recitation, but she gives students options when it comes to attending lectures.

“One (option) is attending face-to-face, and the other one is attending synchronously via Adobe Connect,” Miller said.

The Adobe Connect option allows students to attend class from home and includes the option for students to text in questions they have for Miller as she teaches. Students can also watch recorded lectures after class is over.

“It is hard to miss my class, because there’s really no excuse,” Miller said. “There are people, though, who just won’t (attend). And like I said, it’s their choice. Hopefully I’m giving them something that they want to attend for.”

Nick Villalba, a fourth-year in animal science, said attending class should be a choice.

“We’re paying for (the classes), so we should be able to do whatever we want,” Villalba said. “It’s our right, and our decision.”

Villalba said he has taken classes in which it wasn’t necessary to attend every lecture. He said he thinks he performed the same as he would have if he had attended every class.

Miller agreed that missing class might not always negatively affect class performance.

“My research assistant and I did a presentation last month and our data showed that (students who

campus property, and said there is no compelling reason to change the Student Code of Conduct.

“You and I can debate that all day long and you have clear arguments,” Gee said. “But I’m in charge and we’re not going to do it … I have looked at these issues very, very carefully, it is not in the interest of a great university whereabouts, the ideas of allowing guns.”

Denton said one of the improvements in the safety of on- and off-campus areas was the addition of vehicles to the Student Safety Service program.

After a string of robberies during Autumn Quarter, Student Safety Services received a $50,000 upgrade and was able to add two Subaru Foresters to its fleet, bringing the organization’s total number of vehicles to six.

Denton said about 90 percent of all Student Safety Service requests were fulfilled in Winter Quarter.

Gee and McLaughlin said the university is working very hard with the city to improve the quality of the lighting.

“We have done a lot of work actually with the lights,” McLaughlin said. “We know there are some areas that are still dark … and we need to continue to think about some additive lighting.”

don’t attend class) didn’t necessarily do worse,” Miller said.

Previous knowledge and understanding the material could be a bigger factor in a student’s performance in a class than attendance, she said.

Malcolm Cole, a first-year in pharmaceutical sciences, said it makes sense to attend discussionbased classes in areas such as English or history, but agreed with Miller in that some students might not need to attend every lecture in subjects they understand well.

Cole said he had mixed feelings about attending class.

“Realistically, (making class mandatory) would probably improve grades. But on the other hand, some people might come to class and just get on Facebook or sleep, so they might as well just stay home,” Cole said.

Bushman said making all in-class information available online is unfair to those who come to class.

“I make sure the exam reflects what we cover in class so that it’s fair,” Bushman said.

Aside from missing out on learning the course material, Goscilo said absence from class can make students feel separated from the rest of the class.

“It is positive to have interaction and class discussion, because it helps students get into the class and participate, making it more enjoyable,” Goscilo said.

Miller also spoke on the positive points of attending class.

“We should want to be in the classroom, all of us.

And I want to be in the classroom, that’s why I do what I do,” Miller said.

Books from 1A Wilkes, a first-year in international business, “Amazon is easier because I don’t have to go compare prices.”

Wilkes said she used Buckeye Bookswap this quarter as a “last resort,” needing her books sooner than Amazon would be able to deliver them.

USG encourages students who didn’t look into the program this quarter to use it in the future.

“The demand for buying books is always going to be there. We had people buy books at Barnes & Noble and after seeing our prices, returned their books,” Fitzpatrick said.

While Messenger called the Bookswap a success, he said there were a few bumps along the way.

“We had to adjust a little bit. The TextYard service

crashed halfway through, but we had a backup so we didn’t miss a beat,” he said.

TextYard was the website where students could view which books were available through USG. Fortunately for USG, the issue was resolved over break, but Messenger said that “in the future, we will probably use our own internal system.”

Aside from increasing the length of time students have to sell their books, Messenger said he would like to see a feature that allows students to put a hold on textbooks after they view them online, so students “don’t have to just hope it’s still there” when they go to buy their textbooks.

With USG elections next week, the current administration will be leaving office soon, but they hope this won’t mean the end of Buckeye Bookswap.

“We’re really hoping the next administration picks it up,” Fitzpatrick said.

studentvoice Some ‘never let go’ of hope of seeing ‘Titanic’ in theaters LANTERN columnist

MARY POSANI posani.3@osu.edu

In 1997, director James Cameron made a splash into blockbuster history taking a then 23-year-old dreamboat Leonardo DiCaprio, gorgeous then-22-yearold Kate Winslet and groundbreaking computer graphics to make a 194-minute emotionally tragic love story on a boat with a PG-13 rating: “Titanic.”

I was nine years old when “Titanic” originally hit theaters in December 1997 and I was dying to see it. I wanted to learn about the sinking of the boat, the way

I did in school. I wanted to see the love story unfold on the silver screen.

But my mom said, “No way.”

I was crushed, devastated even. It was as if my desire to see the movie was like “Titanic,” my mom was the iceberg and my dreams sank at the age of nine. I negotiated, begged and pleaded, but it was a no-go. My mom’s word was the final verdict.

I give my mom credit. She had an obligation as my mother to protect me from controversial material and maintain my youthful innocence. As the movie took on a PG-13 rating for its disaster scenes and sexual content, and I was not 13, the job became rather simple. No “Titanic” for her baby girl.

But Wednesday’s box office is giving me the opportunity to finally see the movie on the silver screen. “Titanic” has risen from the bottom of the ocean to sail again, this time in 3-D. Now I am 23. Not only am I old enough, mature enough and have no need for parental

supervision to see the movie, I get to avenge the 9-year-old me.

This Friday night, in my own personal schedule, I will get to experience the magic what I could not experience nearly 15 years ago. I will get to watch Rose dance and fall in love with the poor artist Jack. I will get to cry during Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” and cry even harder when Rose speaks the famous lines “I’ll never let go, Jack” as she releases Jack to the frozen abyss. I will get the chance to experience the 15-year-old movie with its modern spin into the third dimension.

“Titanic” is much more than a movie. It’s an opportunity to return to my childhood and experience something I missed out on the first time. Just like when I saw the original “Star Wars” trilogy when it was re-released in theaters, I get a do-over. I get the chance to watch the movie the way it was intended — not on my barely-working VHS player at

my parents’ house, but on a big screen, with low-lighting and perhaps 100 other vengeful 20-somethings.

It is dumb and petty to want to see it to spite my mother, and perhaps a relapse into my 9-year-old ways. However, I am excited to watch it with my two roommates, who are avenging their younger selves as well. I am not sure how I will enjoy watching a movie in 3-D. I personally do not see what is wrong with the simple, standard way of viewing movies, but perhaps this will add to the magic and make this a more memorable viewing.

“Titanic” in 3-D will capture the moment I missed 15 years ago and create a new moment.

And to my mother, who always kissed my boo-boos, cheered me on during basketball games and actively seeks out and reads all my articles, I love you dearly. However, this time around, I think I’ll take the $20 dad gave me and go see “Titanic.”

J. Cole balances critics, mainstream fans what they know will sell. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj in particular have all released recent albums, which have charted well, but failed to earn the universal respect from the hip-hop community that helped generate their buzz in the first place. To put it simply, many rap artists make the decision to abandon much of their hip-hop roots in order to produce chart-topping pop hits.

A song like “Dance (A$$),” by Big Sean, as catchy as it is, was not what had critics and fans excited for his debut album in the first place.

All that said, I understand the temptation and the difficulty this presents to rappers. How long can you go on making pure hip-hop music that

If you’re a music fan and you’re not listening to, or haven’t at least heard of, J. Cole, then you ought to start.

Then again, judging by the line I waited in, which stretched around to the front of the Ohio Union Monday afternoon to get tickets to his April 30 concert, there aren’t many students who need my advice.

The gap between what appeals to the mainstream masses on the radio and what appeals to hip-hop purists has never been larger. The simplistic, club-oriented music that sells records often fails to garner critical acclaim.

Those that perhaps had the potential to bridge the gap between the two factions have allowed their music to stray toward

leads to big paydays? As Jay-Z once said, “Would you rather be underpaid or overrated?”

It’s Jay Z’s young apprentice J. Cole who is seeking to make that question irrelevant. Mixtapes such as “The Warm Up” and “Friday Night Lights” were released to critical acclaim as the anticipation toward his debut album built. Combined with an XXL Magazine Freshmen Cover and a contract with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation record label, Cole seemed to be an artist with the lyrical and storytelling ability to appeal to hip-hop purists, with the personality and mainstream appeal to be a commercial success as well.

His debut album “Cole World: The

Sideline Story” fulfilled all of those hopes as it was met with positive reviews and placed No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. If the reception for the ticket release for his concert is any indication, the buzz surrounding Cole has not died down at all. And it’s only the beginning for him.

Not since Kanye West changed the landscape with his debut has hip-hop had a rising star like this to lead the genre into the next generation. Make every effort to see his concert with Big K.R.I.T. (a rising star in his own right) here at Ohio State on April 30. The next generation is here and it sounds good.

Although he rapped about things that are common to Ohio State, such as Oval Beach and Aaron Craft, rapper Common told students to be anything but common.

Common, the author, actor and Grammy Awardwinning artist who released albums such as “Be,” visited OSU’s campus Monday and spoke in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin East Ballroom. About 700-800 students were in attendance, said Ohio Union Activities Board adviser Katie Krajny.

OUAB sponsored the event.

Common’s lecture was titled, “One Day It’ll All Make Sense,” which is also the title of his newly released book.

As Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid

Lynn, Jr., climbed the stairs to the stage, almost every seat was emptied, as attendees stood and welcomed him to the podium with screams. He waved to the crowd as they took their seats and calmed down.

The lecture began with a freestyle rap, mainly about being a rapper. The rap also included more than 10 references to OSU, ranging from Raising Cane’s Chicken, to basketball player Aaron Craft and The O Patio & Pub. At one point in his freestyle, Common told the crowd, “I might kick it where? At Oval Beach.” Later, he said, “I’m kicking that classic stuff, like Jesse Owens. I keep on running. Yo, you know that math?

You can’t stick me, just like my man Aaron Craft.”

He finished the rap with the line, “I came to Ohio State to speak about greatness.”

Common talked about finding the greatness within you, allowing yourself to be unique and choosing the correct path and following it.

Friday

”Finding your path is one of the best things you can do,” Common said. ”Once you find your path, that is only the beginning. You have to believe in your path, and you will believe in yourself.”

Throughout the lecture, Common quoted numerous influential people throughout history, including Nelson Mandela, Frederick Douglass and Tupac Shakur.

Quoting Douglass, Common told the audience, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” He repeated Douglass’ quote to the crowd to connect his ideas that everyone has to find their path and work toward accomplishing their goals.

The main idea Common stressed in “One Day It’ll All Make Sense” was to believe in yourself, fight through the obstacles and find the greatness that everyone has in themselves.

“Greatness is when you can achieve the highest

Hosted by the Ohio State sophomore honorary, Romophos, Battle of the Bands is scheduled to take place Thursday at Newport Music Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m.

The event will showcase local music groups with proceeds going toward CityMusic and its Musical Opportunities Reward Everyone program, which provides music education to underprivileged students.

The show will feature the bands Wooden Teeth, Scrimshaw and the Mariner, Big Game and Deadwood Floats. All competitors will be vying for a grand prize — seven hours of recording time. A panel of judges will select the winner.

Clothing line targets students to help benefit the homeless SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

T.K. Brady Lantern reporter brady.1366@osu.edu KNO Clothing is looking to college students’ wardrobes to help end homelessness.

KNO Clothing, founded in October 2010 by Anthony Thomas and Stephen Caldwell, will be launching its spring-summer 2012 line in the upcoming weeks and is considering designing T-shirts specifically for college students.

“We’re really looking to build relationships with colleges and universities around the country, because we believe college students care about these things (ending homelessness) and we want to make a difference,” Thomas said. “Ohio State has been on the list of one of the places we might want to do something for.”

Thomas said he and Caldwell believe that if housing is an international human right, then clothing should be one also.

KNO Clothing houses homeless people throughout the United States and has been able

to house about 134 people in Columbus alone, Thomas said.

Columbus is a leader in the movement to end homelessness, said Jake Maguire, director of communications for the 100,000 Homes Campaign, a partner with KNO Clothing.

“In Columbus, we work with the Community Shelter Board,” Maguire said. “They are housing all kinds of people all the time. They do amazing work.”

KNO Clothing began in Harrisburg, Pa., and first partnered with Bethesda Mission, a Pennsylvania group that helps the hungry and homeless, where Thomas and Caldwell volunteered while attending Messiah College.

Chuck Wingate, the executive director of Bethesda Mission, said he was skeptical about Thomas and Caldwell’s movement until he realized they thought it through.

“I got a call from Anthony Thomas one day and he and I talked, and at first I thought he was a bit naïve,” Wingate said. “We get a lot of people who are going to change the world, and homelessness is a very tough issue. After speaking for a few more minutes, it became clear that Anthony and Stephen

had thought about what they were doing and they knew what they were getting into.”

Wingate said one couldn’t end homelessness by simply walking around unfamiliar neighborhoods offering help to those in need. He recommended students who want to get involved in the fight against homelessness contact a local organization, like Faith Mission in Columbus, and help out as part of a group.

KNO Clothing provides its partners with encouragement, time and money, Wingate said. “(Thomas and Caldwell) don’t want to just send the stuff in a box and have someone else hand it out,” Wingate said. “They want to actually converse with the people who are actually receiving the help.”

Wingate said KNO Clothing usually provides the homeless with socks because those are necessities on cold nights.

In keeping with its socially-aware message, all clothing from the company is made in factories where workers receive fair wages and have decent working conditions. These factories are not all

CD Reviews Rome burns on Nicki Minaj’s 2nd album VANESSA SPATES Senior Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu On first listen, Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” isn’t half bad.

From that first listen on, however, it becomes almost fatal to the ear.

“PF: RR,” released Monday, has all the classic signs of Minaj: loud, garish, vulgar and ultimately pointless. But Nicki throws an element into the mix that’s starting to divide her faithful fans: pop music.

The album would’ve been slightly better overall if Minaj had physically split it, with one side being pure rap (by her alter ego Roman Zolanksi) and the other side Minaj’s skewed hip-pop (by her other alter ego, Harajuku Barbie). The first nine songs on the album are heavy with featured rappers and actually carry some pretty decent songs. “Champion,” featuring Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy only succeeds because Minaj is barely audible on it.

When Minaj raps, it may not be the best, but it’s definitely a lot better than the drivel she made in the second half of the album.

Her alter ego, Roman, is meant to be vile and psychotic, and with “Roman Holiday,” she puts that on display. It’s a disturbingly catchy song that can get in your head and stay lodged there for days. It is the only song where

“... Roman Reloaded” Nicki Minaj

Roman is truly let loose, however, which is odd for an album named after a specific character.

As for the exceedingly pop half of “PF: RR,” it’s a complete failure as far as hip-hop/pop crossovers go. From the icky bubblegum sweetness of “Starships” to the ridiculously inaccurate portrayal of “how Marilyn Monroe feels,” on “Marilyn Monroe,” it falls flat. The only remotely decent song in the pop half of the album is “Pound The Alarm,” a song so infectious that it almost makes up for most of the atrocious album. Almost.

If you’re going to attempt a crossover, especially on an album, you need to make sure there is flow and a concept to it. Otherwise it ends up messy and inconsistent. Minaj is always harping on the fact that she wants to make music and develop and grow as an artist, but when you enlist more than a dozen people to produce, you look lost and confused. Minaj needs a wake-up call before she disappears from relevancy.

Common from 5A level within yourself, but you are also able to influence others to achieve their highest level,” Common said.

After Common spoke, students lined up at two microphones and asked him any question they could think of.

From more than one female admirer, Common was asked what type of women he looks for and if he is single. He joked back with the audience, and laughed when girls asked about his personal life.

The questions asked were comical and serious.

One student asked Common what his dreams are, and another asked how to avoid being common when mainstream music is becoming less distinctive.

“You just have to be yourself,” Common said.

“What do you have to lose? Nobody here can judge you. As Tupac said, ‘Only God can judge me.’”

A few students said Common was the right speaker for college students because of the decision-making processes most are undertaking, such as choosing a major.

“What (Common) said really related to college kids, and finding your own path,” said Taylor Anderson, a first-year in pharmacy. “We are here trying to figure out what we want to do. He helped people who are struggling to pick a major to find a voice and know that it is OK to not know where you are going in life.”

OUAB chose Common as a guest because of his versatility, Krajny said.

Rascal falls flat on 8th studio album ALY MIZESKO Lantern reporter mizesko.1@osu.edu The Columbus-based country trio Rascal Flatts returns with its eighth studio album, “Changed.” This is the first album released on its new record label, Big Machine Label Group, which also gave Taylor Swift her start.

The album’s first single, “Banjo,” hit radio airwaves in January. The track has proven to be a song that some either love or are indifferent to, but no matter the opinion, you find yourself tapping your foot or singing along. Yes, it’s that catchy.

“She’s Leaving,” “Hot in Here” and “Changed” were released in the weeks preceding the album’s release. Maybe this was to increase hype around the album, but I don’t think it helped.

As an owner of all of Rascal Flatts’ previous CDs, I can safely say this album sounds about the same as all of the others: country, but not enough so to keep it out of the pop charts every so often. I’m personally OK with that, and a lot of fans will be as well, but what this CD really lacks is a standout track.

There wasn’t a song I was

Battle from 5A Deadwood Floats will return to the stage after competing for a similar prize at last year’s contest.

“We had a lot of fun playing last year,” said Adam Schutz, guitarist and vocalist for Deadwood Floats. “We enjoy playing, so it’s rewarding enough to just have the opportunity to play the show, especially at a place like the Newport. And then obviously (music education) is something we all feel strongly about, so to be able to support a cause like that is really great to be part of.”

The competition was held at the Ohio Union two years ago before relocating to Newport Music Hall last year. The move, Schutz said, has added incentive for the acts to perform at their very best. “(Newport Music Hall) is really, really great,” Schutz said. “First of all, I’ve been seeing concerts there since I was probably 15. To be able to play on the same stage that I’ve seen Phoenix or Passion Pit, all the bands that I really love, is pretty awesome.”

Joining the competing bands will be various student dance and a cappella groups that will perform between sets.

The goal of providing a platform for local acts to display their talent, however, is just one objective Romophos is hoping to accomplish. Another is to donate $5,000 to CityMusic.

“Music really can make a difference in someone’s life who has never been exposed to it,” said Ben Hemmelgarn, a second-year in molecular genetics and Romophos president. “As opposed

willing to play on repeat 20 times because I loved it so much. This is rare for me, especially given that Rascal Flatts is my favorite country act.

Some close contenders on the album that could fill that gap are “Hot In Here,” “Let It Hurt” and “Sunrise.”

If you decide to splurge for the deluxe edition, though I wouldn’t recommend it, you’ll have four additional tracks.

“Friday Can’t Come Fast Enough” sounds almost like a rap during the verses. Thankfully the group goes back to singing for the rest of the song.

“Fall Here” has a sweet sentiment that could charm listeners after a few plays. “Right One Time” was one of the few tracks I liked the instant I heard it.

If Rascal Flatts truly has changed, it isn’t for the better.

This album left a lot to be desired.

‘Choreography’ dreams of the Beach Boys CHRISTOPHER BRAUN Lantern reporter braun.200@osu.edu Combining modern pop-rock chillwave with harmonic group vocals, reminiscent of The Beach Boys circa 1965, British rock band Weird Dreams offers a slightly less catchy version of the influences in which its debut album, “Choreography,” draws.

Although songs such as “Summer Black” and the bassdrum-heavy “Vague Hotel” successfully bring a vibrant beach party sound, the album remains lackluster as a whole, bringing little new material to 21st century audiences.

Tracks such as “Holding Nails” and “666.66” lean a little too heavily on 1960s sounds, coming across as more of an imitation than a present-day recreation. In such songs, Weird Dreams’ melodies often blend together, creating a monotonous background to the album’s standout tracks.

The title track “Choreography” and the anxiety-driven “Faceless” offer a more contemporary twist missing from the album’s other features. “Choreography,” the final song, closes its namesake on a high note.

Combining the album’s overall pop-heavy tones with a haunting depth absent from previous tracks, “Choreography” leaves

to a national organization, we really wanted to focus on something that would help people right in Columbus and also help people become exposed to music.”

Jennifer Mayer, coordinator of the Battle of the Bands and a second-year in political science and Chinese, mirrored Hemmelgarn’s comments.

“When we started out, we decided we wanted something that was really connected to the kind of event that we were doing,” Mayer said. “We were looking around and stumbled upon CityMusic and their M.O.R.E. program, and we just knew it was the perfect fit.”

CityMusic has focused on providing chamber and world music to the Columbus area for about 28 years. The group created the M.O.R.E. program in 1990 to cater to schools where music programs had been cut or never existed.

Despite drawing most of its funding from older generations of music enthusiasts, Heidi Howes, executive director of CityMusic, said it is refreshing to see a younger audience contributing to the efforts of the program.

“Because of the economy, music programs have been cut and it is sort of an afterthought for a lot of people,” Howes said. “The fact that Romophos is sort of infusing us with this donation, however big or small, is just proof to us that what we’re doing is important and acknowledged.”

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com or at the door. Group discounts are available.

listeners with a reason for a second glance (before ultimately digging up their parents’ copies of “Pet Sounds” and reveling in some “Good Vibrations”).

It is important to mention, however, that the songs from these London-based rockers are anything but terrible. Anyone can find enjoyment in the album’s poppy tones, but “Choreography” provides few incentives for repeated listening. The songs, though well-played and smoothly-sung, lack the musical innovation of fellow 2012 chillwavers Best Coast or Panda Bear, the latter often said to be the founder of the retro, synth-pop revival.

Saving Weird Dreams’ latest endeavor from falling behind the radar is the angst-ridden and, oftentimes, dark poetry of frontman Doran Edwards.

Overall, Weird Dreams’ latest project, though leaving room for improvement, warrants a listen from all indie rock fans.

Clothing from 5A located in the United States, but Thomas said he and Caldwell have visited the factories themselves to witness the conditions.

All the shirts are made from organic cotton and consumer-recycled materials.

The name “KNO Clothing” is also based on social awareness, Thomas said.

“The word ‘kno’ came out of knowledge,” he said. “We believe that nobody should go without a hope, nobody should go without clothing.”

Maguire said ending homelessness is a completely achievable goal based on statistics and logic. He said 85 percent of those who are provided with permanent housing and ongoing basic utility services will not become homeless again.

Maguire compared ending homelessness to finding the cure for cancer.

“Nobody says about cancer, ‘Well, wish we didn’t have it and we’re going to manage it the best we can,’” Maguire said. “People are working tirelessly to end this disease and doctors believe that one day we’ll be able to do that. I don’t know why we think differently about social problems.”

KNO Clothing has helped house more than 12,000 people nationwide, Thomas said. About 50 percent of the group’s profits help the homeless and hungry.

“We’re building a movement of people who care and who want to make a difference,” he said, “and at the same time, we really think about impact and we think about sustainable fashion.”

OSU then-junior shortstop Alicia Herron takes a swing during a game against Illinois April 10, 2011, in Columbus, Ohio. OSU lost the game, 4-3.

Ohio State softball senior shortstop and captain Alicia Herron has performed at a historic pace for the Buckeyes throughout her four years. As the team prepares for a six-game home stand, including a weekend series against Michigan, Herron will be closing in on numerous OSU career records.

Herron has a chance to be at the top of multiple statistical batting categories by the end of the year. Herron stands second all-time in home runs, third in RBIs and runs scored, tied for fourth in triples, fifth in batting average and tied for seventh in doubles.

The two-time All-Big Ten selection is on track for a third selection this season as she is leading the conference in home runs, RBIs, triples and total bases.

Herron’s teammates said her consistent production has made her an essential part of the Buckeyes’ success.

“It means a lot having (Herron) on the team,” said freshman catcher Shelby Pickett, “We can always count on her to go out and play well. She’s a great leader and has a great impact every game.”

The softball team includes only four seniors on the roster, meaning Herron

is often in a leadership role. Freshman infielder Maddy McIntyre said Herron is someone who leads by example.

“I play the same position as (Herron), so it is good to have someone to look up to,” McIntyre said. “She doesn’t have to say too much. She sets an example through her performance and everyone follows.”

The Buckeyes look to a six-game stretch at Buckeye Field Wednesday with a doubleheader against Buffalo at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Later in the week, rival Michigan will travel to Columbus for a three-game series beginning Friday at 5:30 p.m.

McIntyre said this weekend’s series against Michigan is crucial because the Buckeyes and Wolverines are tied for second in the Big Ten standings at 5-1.

“We’re really excited about the games,” McIntyre said. “We lost to them both times last year, but this year we have a better team and are ready to go.”

The team has seen a dramatic turnaround from last year, already winning seven more games than it won in the previous season when it finished 11th in the conference. As the important week of games approach, the Buckeyes now sit just one game behind Purdue for first place in the Big Ten and are 21-11 overall.

Women’s lacrosse nearing stretch run ANDY EVANS Lantern reporter evans.403@osu.edu

Four regular season games remain in what has been an eventful season for the Ohio State women’s lacrosse team.

Six members of the team were hospitalized March 9 with symptoms of rhabdomyolysis, a muscle disorder that causes a breakdown of muscle fibers and releases a protein called myoglobin into the bloodstream, which can cause kidney damage and in extreme cases, kidney failure. But the team has not been deterred and has posted a 3-2 record since the medical incident.

The team’s conference tournament is on the horizon.

As of Monday, the Buckeyes are ranked No. 15 in the deBeer Women’s Media Poll and No. 14 in the March 26 Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Poll. Although the team is 0-2 in the American Lacrosse Conference, they are 8-3 overall and are coming off a 13-12 overtime loss to No. 1-ranked Northwestern Saturday.

Freshman goalie Tori DeScenza tallied 16 saves for OSU while senior midfielders Gabby Capuzzi and Kirsten Donahue combined for seven goals. Capuzzi tallied four goals in the loss while Donahue added three of her own.

Guiding OSU on the offensive end throughout its campaign is attacker Alayna Markwordt. The senior from Woodbine, Md., has scored 27 goals and tallies 32 assists. Markwordt’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed either, as she is on the Tewaaraton Award watch list. The Tewaarton Award is

OSU senior midfielder Kirsten Donahue carries the ball up the field during a March 4 game against Notre Dame at Ohio Stadium. OSU lost, 16-7. given to the male and female players of the year.

Not to be outdone by Markhordt, freshman attacker Jackie Cifarelli is fourth in the ALC with four points per game. The freshman from Rockville Center, N.Y., also ranks second in the ALC behind her first-place teammate in assists. Capuzzi ranks ninth in the

conference with almost four points per game.

Team members were not available for comment.

After the Buckeyes’ four remaining regular-season games, they will travel to Gainesville, Fla., for the ALC Championships, May 3-5.

OSU returns to action Sunday

Ohio State football supporters gave thousands of dollars for the chance to interact with coaches and get their hands on memorabilia at a fundraiser for the football team Tuesday.

Almost 1,000 people attended the Coach Meyer Spring Kickoff event held on the indoor field of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Four different items were auctioned off in about 20 minutes and raised more than $20,000.

Two autographed pictures of current and former OSU coaches Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel, John Cooper, and Earle Bruce were sold for $7,000 apiece.

A Canadian rail trip to Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City sold for $3,500.

In addition, a dinner with co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell and defensive line coach Mike Vrabel was auctioned off for $3,000.

Smaller memorabilia items were also up for sale in a silent auction.

The event, which took place as a luncheon, included talks from Meyer, Bruce, Cooper, former Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin and OSU historian Jack Park.

The entire current coaching staff and many members of the team were also in attendance.

The football team has been participating in spring drills since March 28 and will conclude the spring season with the Spring Game, scheduled for April 21 at 1:30 p.m at Ohio Stadium. They open their season Sept 1 against Miami (OH) in Ohio Stadium.
