Travis Skaggs, a 2nd-year in economics, and Danielle Meyer, a 3rd-year in political science, are running for president and vice president of USG.

The Oval gets crowded this time of year, but bright yellow shirts and a familiar logo make it easy to spot Undergraduate Student Government presidential candidate Travis Skaggs, a second-year in economics, and his running mate, Danielle Meyer, a thirdyear in political science.

Skaggs and Meyer said what sets them apart from the other candidates is their focus on getting one-on-one time with students and advocating for their specific needs.

“We had face time with students and that’s why our logo is ‘The New Face,’” Skaggs said.

The recognizable North Face logo ties together their ideology and gives students something by which to remember them. Skaggs said face time with students from different backgrounds and social circles was important to how they built their platform.

“We did a very organic approach,” Skaggs said. “We went to everyone and said, ‘What do you want to see out of USG? What do you want to see ultimately out of the university?’ And the result is our platform.”

The team said communication, especially on a face-to-face level, is what’s been lacking from USG in the past.

“We really wanted to see a change within USG,” Meyer said. “USG is a great organization, but the flow of communication isn’t right. Students aren’t really seeing all the good that USG is doing. People don’t feel like voting in USG elections because they think it’s a pointless election.”

Skaggs said problems they hear most consistently from students are about academic issues dealing with

the semester switch, advisers and new credit hour rules, concerns that Skaggs and Meyer have devoted a large part of their platform to addressing.

“Our plan isn’t to make a new forum or panel or committee for that issue,” Skaggs said. “We aren’t trying to propose more bureaucracy and more voices to complicate the issue. Our job at USG is not to say, ‘Let’s create something new.’ It’s to advocate.”

Skaggs said he’s particularly passionate about their wellness platform which encompasses health, sustainability and safety.

“Safety has been an area of interest to me, and we realized that people have been wondering why we don’t get timely police reports,” Skaggs said. “The only ones reported directly to students are those within our campus or close enough to pose a threat to our safety.”

Meyer said she’s been working hard to support students who live off campus. One of the biggest issues is the housing hunt that most off-campus dwellers have experienced.

“Landlords are all on different schedules for leases and renewal deadlines,” Meyer said. “I would really like all the landlords to be on the same schedule. It would make students’ lives easier and we don’t need to have that extra stressor.”

Skaggs and Meyer said ultimately, their biggest concern is advocating for students.

“We want to make sure that right from the get-go we’re held accountable,” Meyer said. “USG tends to come every year in the spring and ask you to vote for them, and then you don’t hear from them for another year.

Our main promise is that we’re going to listen to students.”

Rose Zhou Lantern reporter zhou.371@osu.edu Two Undergraduate Student Government candidates said they hope their voice, and the voice of the students, is heard loud and clear above the rest.

USG presidential candidate Niraj Antani, a third-year in political science and philosophy, and vice presidential candidate Nikki Brown, a third-year in political science and women studies, chose the campaign slogan “Be the voice.”

The candidates said they are aware students might be tired of people who run for office just to fill their resumes. They said the idea of showing up for two weeks of the year and then disappearing is wrong. Antani and Brown said they want to change that culture.

“You can go to past platforms, you’ll look it up, you’ll see two or three things that got done and nothing else, and that’s what we want to change,” Antani said. “We want the students to be the voice of the student government, to drive what we are doing.”

Instead of telling students what they need to do, Antani and Brown said their priority is to make sure they are listening to students.

“Students are the voice behind student government,” Antani said.

To be more engaging with their constituents, Antani and Brown want to place suggestion boxes in every building on campus. Antani said he is encouraging students to fill out the “Voice of the Buckeye” section on their website.

“We’ll say what we’ve done, whom we’ve met with, what’s the progress. If we fail, which I’m sure we will … we’ll say what we’ve failed. If we succeed, we’ll say we’ve succeeded,” Antani

said. “Students can hold us accountable, that way we don’t disappear.”

Antani and Brown said they would like to set up “semester hotlines” and “walk-in advising hours” to solve students’ problems of waiting for weeks to meet with their own advisers.

The cost of hiring trained graduate students or additional advisers would come from the $250,000 USG budget.

Antani said they want to make sure they spend the USG budget money wisely to benefit students, and their policies would never be a contributing factor to any increases in student fees.

Antani and Brown said they want to expand the East Residential route of the Campus Area Bus Service hours on weekends and spend money more effectively on student escort services to improve on- and off-campus safety.

In an effort to keep students safe, Antani and Brown are pushing for joint jurisdiction in the campus area, a neighborhood watch program, self-defense classes and increased off-campus lighting.

The candidates want to work on public-private partnerships to get Ohio State students discounts on taxis, Mega Bus tickets and flight fares. They said they want to finalize contracts with multiple companies, and they expect various discounts to go into effect before Autumn Semester.

Antani and Brown said they want to negotiate with the state to make the first four days of each semester tax free for textbook purchases, which could save students up to $100 per year.

While their campaign plays on their names and its reference to pop star Nicki Minaj, Antani and Brown said they will be focused on completing their promises.

“We’ll take our platform, we’ll take the bright colors off, we’ll take the campaign logo off and we’ll put it on the USG website,” Antani said. “We’ll have a scorecard for every single platform.”

Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu The Ohio State All-Girl Cheerleading team is on the mat for a full dress rehearsal the Saturday before it departs for nationals — that’s the way coach Joey Delaney ran the program since 1998.

There was a notable absence this past Saturday, though — Delaney wasn’t there.

Delaney, 39, died Thursday at 7:55 p.m. at The Wexner Medical Center at OSU after experiencing difficulty breathing at the RPAC. In keeping with tradition, the team gathered on the mat Saturday at the Jesse Owens North Recreation Center to get its prep work in before leaving for Daytona Beach, Fla., Wednesday, where the team will participate in the National Collegiate Cheerleading nationals. A crowd of about 80 people assembled as the team, donning its red bows and starch-white uniforms with a “Block-O” on the front, ran through its routines.

There were tears and long embraces at the Saturday training session, which was equal parts preparation for the upcoming competition and a chance to honor Delaney, who guided the team to a 2012 Club Big Ten cheerleading title.

Saturday also marked the first time any current member of the team practiced without the coach they adore.

Christine Stearns, a first-year in pharmaceutical science, said the sadness in the gym was tangible.

“You could see the look in everyone’s faces (Saturday) — we were not mentally prepared,” Stearns said. “We were freaking out. We were so nervous. Most of us haven’t been in this gym since last practice. It was like, we don’t want to walk in here and see the mat and get upset and everything.

But we have to do what we have to do.”

The crying and sadness was frequently drowned out by the blasts of pop music that rocked the gym.

The smiles of the team members returned as they burst onto the mat to demonstrate their high-energy routines.

Sadness would creep back, though — after finishing the first routine, team members took several minutes to compose themselves. Part of this, Stearns said, was to tend to nagging injuries.

Stearns added that the team was also missing Delaney.

“A lot of the girls were just upset in general because he wasn’t there,” Stearns said.

In addition to the support and critiquing you’d expect from a cheerleading coach, Delaney provided a moral compass for his players, Faith Anne Roche, a third-year in psychology, told The Lantern.

Roche cheered with the OSU club team for two years, and described Delaney as her mentor.

“He was that inspiration that everyone needs in a coach. He was just, like, the ultimate coach.

When something was wrong … he was always there for you doing whatever he could,” Roche said. “He taught me a lot of life skills. How to be determined

several students enjoy a game of sand volleyball on the sand volleyball courts on North Campus.

Ohio State students have access to gym facilities and free group fitness classes at the RPAC this quarter, yet some are opting to forego the gym and take their workouts outdoors.

While group fitness classes have cost $50 for full-quarter passes, $30 for half-quarter passes and $5 for a single class, all fitness classes at the RPAC are offered for free to students this quarter. Since the first week of Spring Quarter, about 2,350 people have signed up for group fitness passes — an increase from the more than 1,800 group fitness passes issued in the spring last year, according to the Department of Recreational Sports.

“In partnership with the student governments and the Council (on) Student Affairs, our department moved to the free class model to find a direct way to put student dollars into student programming and help more students live a life a motion,” said Marci Shumaker, Rec Sports associate director for administration.

Meredith Richards, a first-year in medical dietetics, has

been taking advantage of the free fitness classes this quarter by taking cycling.

“I definitely hope they keep offering free classes,” Richards said. “It’s a good step in the right direction in getting people to work out who wouldn’t normally. It’s getting more people involved in something that doesn’t seem like exercise.”

Paul Blischak, a fourth-year in mathematics, said he thinks the free fitness classes will help people who are hesitant to try working out by encouraging them to join a class with a friend. However, he said he will not be going to any of the free classes.

“Working out in a group is not my style,” Blischak said.

“When I work out, I don’t want to do it where there’s no sunshine and just gray walls and machines.”

Nilang Vyas, a second-year in astronomy, plays tennis, volleyball, cricket and basketball around campus and at nearby parks, and said he appreciates using outdoor courts to play sports.

“It just feels better to be outside,” Vyas said, “especially because we’re always inside.”

Warm weather complicates daily grind NadINe aKra Lantern reporter akra.2@osu.edu Balancing school work and a social life can be a common struggle for many college students, especially with the welcoming of sunshine and warm weather during Spring Quarter.

This time of year means many things to Ohio State students, including the revitalization of Oval Beach and other outdoor events, making it difficult to stay focused on the 10 weeks of classes before summer.

Staying motivated to complete coursework while knowing that friends are outside doing other things is one of the biggest challenges students face during Spring Quarter, said Jennifer Paulson, a secondyear in English.

“As much fun as there is going on, I think it takes reminding yourself why you’re here and the reason you’re able to do all these things and participate in all these events is because you do go to The Ohio State University,” Paulson said. “You’re here for school ultimately, so I just like to keep that in the back of my head. It keeps me driven.”

Some OSU students admit to purposely changing their schedule to take an easier workload in anticipation for the activities that come during this time.

Clay Risinger, a fourth-year in business, remembers his first Spring Quarter and enrolling in GEC classes that would allow time for all things not related to academics.

“It was my first spring and of course you want to go out on the Oval and enjoy yourself,” Risinger said. “I was single at the time so I wanted to go out and have fun. So, all of those things were running through my mind. I tried to figure out the easiest classes possible.”

Studying outside makes keeping up with classes enjoyable, said Chelsea Moherman, a second-year in pharmaceutical sciences.

Outdoor activities such as concerts, intramural sports like soccer and baseball, and anything else that allows OSU students to be outside to enjoy the rising temperatures is common.

“The nice weather motivates you to exercise more and go outside to do things,” said Emily King, a third-year in health sciences. “I definitely like to ride my bike along the Olentangy River and I’m going to play in an intramural soccer team. It’s harder to want to do school work because it’s nice out and you’re looking forward to summer.”

Graduating seniors experiencing “senioritis” struggle to find motivation for the last quarter of their college education, Risinger said. Having already accepted a job offer prior to graduation, Risinger said he wakes up sometimes without any desire to attend classes.

“I have two posters hanging in my room and one of them says, ‘Ambition: The world makes way for those who know where they are

students enjoy time on the oval during the warm weather that comes with spring Quarter. going,’” Risinger said. “I wake up in the morning and that’s the first thing I look at and it gives me a little inspiration.”

As this is the last quarter at OSU before the switch to semesters, some students said they feel like this Spring Quarter means more to them.

“Spring Quarter is like the light at the end of the tunnel, the last months,” Paulson said. “That’s why everyone has so much fun during it.”

The OSU All-Girl Cheerleading team practices at Jesse Owens North Recreation Center without its coach, Joey Delaney, who died Thursday.

Coach from 1A and how to push through. He just taught you how to get through anything.”

Delaney’s training might serve the team well as it prepares for the trip to Florida without a formally recognized coach.

Katie Troha, a 2011 graduate of OSU and team alumna, decided to travel with the team after hearing of Delaney’s death and will carry out some of his usual duties, like managing team funds and driving a rental van.

By her own admission, Troha is inexperienced compared to Delaney. She is also still familiarizing herself with the current team’s routines and stunts.

There was no doubt the team would continue with its planned trip to Florida, it just wasn’t collectively old enough to do so without some supervision, Troha said while clutching a can of Monster energy drink.

“At this point, there is no replacing Joey,” Troha said. “But as far as the alumni that are still in the Columbus area that would be able to go … it just so happened that I would be able to work it out with my schedule. Now we’re working on getting there and switching flights around. I don’t know, it’s been kind of a mess.”

Marci Hasty, associate director of OSU Recreational Sports programs and the team’s advisor, will also accompany the team to Florida.

In an email to The Lantern, Hasty said it was

important to support their OSU teams in times of difficulty.

“We want to be as supportive as we can,” Hasty said. “Both in terms of helping them finalize plans for nationals, as well as providing the support they need to deal with the loss of a coach.”

There was a sense of duty and serving Delaney that pervaded the Jesse Owens North dress rehearsal.

“This is what was scheduled,” Troha said. “This was Joey’s schedule. This is how the team is always run. The Saturday before nationals is always dress rehearsal for the team. We go full out. We need to keep that structure that Joey has had in place the whole time.”

Roche described a “different kind of empowerment” Saturday.

“Now it’s, ‘We’re going to do this for Joey, and we’re going to make him proud,’” Roche said. “And I think, yeah, it’s really hard, and you don’t want to start thinking about it. But you know that if you do your best, and you do everything that he taught you, you’re going to make him so proud. That’s all the empowerment that anyone needs right now.”

Delaney is gone, but he appears to have trained his players well, on and off the mat.

The team’s expectations of the trip to Florida reflect the positive spirit members said Delaney always carried.

“We know this team can get through anything,” Roche said. “Nothing can stop this team.”

he prefers exercising outside at Homestead Park in Hilliard, Ohio. In warm weather, he incorporates four miles of running, pull ups, sit ups, push ups and dips into his outdoor workouts.

“It feels better when you’re in nature,” Patel said. “It feels fresh, and it actually feels like a workout.”

John Katsares, personal training coordinator for OSU Rec Sports, said exercising outside with fresh air and vitamin D from sunlight can boost energy levels. Even without equipment, he said there are still ways to get a good workout outside.

“Find a park and do a circuit of running and walking,” Katsares said. “Then hop on a bench and do curl ups.”

As exercising outside and in the more traditional gym setting inside both have their benefits, Katsares suggests exercising in both settings to add variety in workouts.

“Try to vary your workouts in order to maintain adherence and avoid boredom,” Katsares said.

“Change the intensity, volume and mode of training on a weekly basis if possible.”

Jessi Jones, a master’s student in Slavic and East European studies, is training for a marathon by using the indoor track in the RPAC but said she will eventually run outside exclusively. She said exercising outside is better for longdistance running.

“It’s more motivational because you’re running past things,” Jones said.

Regardless of preference for outdoor or indoor workouts, Katsares said people looking to get fit should start a new fitness routine slowly and allow for muscle repair between workouts.

“Start gradually, not too hard, too fast. Be consistent, you won’t see gains overnight,” Katsares said.

“Allow for adequate rest between workouts — 24 hours between cardio … and 48 hours rest between training similar muscle groups.”

studentvoice Standing up to racism better than ignoring ASST. MULTIMEDIA editor

CAITLIN ESSIG essig.21@osu.edu

Beginning Wednesday night while shooting video at the Hoodies and Headscarves event on the Oval, I was thrown into a world of dialogue, protest and non-understanding revolving around hate crimes. Whether or not everyone agrees with me, I absolutely believe the spray-painting of the words ‘Long Live Zimmerman’ on the side of Hale Hall was a hate crime.

The hate crime email alert Ohio State Police issued Friday afternoon read, “The Clery Act defines a hate crime as a criminal offense committed against a person or property which is motivated in whole or part by the offender’s bias.” The spray-painting on Hale Hall fits that bill.

Whether the actions were done by a student or community member, whether the vandal(s) knew the impact he or she would cause, those things don’t matter.

It is not a coincidence that the hateful speech was tagged onto the side of the building which houses the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center. It is not a coincidence that hateful symbols and a

hateful word were spray-painted over a mural of President Barack Obama. These were deliberate acts of hatred.

As a journalist, it is exciting to cover big stories like these protests. It is exciting because I got a firsthand look as actions unfolded and emotions were high. But as a human being, diving into this story was eye-opening for me.

Whenever I decide to plunge into a news story, whether I’m covering it or just following it, I become a little obsessed. I pay attention to every detail of the story, try to read every article and take in as much information as possible.

I don’t miss much when I care about a story.

That is probably why, while leaving the sit-in at the Ohio Union Friday after covering the event, I overheard a girl say to her friend, “Everyone thinks since we’re Ohio State we have to get involved in every national thing that happens.

Can’t we just … not?”

My answer to her would be no. We can’t ignore the world around us. That breeds ignorance. Should we ignore hateful words painted on our campus and community buildings? Should we choose to not react, and project the image that we don’t care? No. The protests that have dominated the news around campus are not just about Trayvon Martin. The protests were sparked by an action committed in relation to Martin’s case, yes, but the protests on our campus revolve around a deeper issue of inclusion versus tolerance. The message the protesting students want to spread is one of unification as a university.

On my Twitter feed Friday, I noticed a

ANYA URSU/ Lantern reporter

Students gather at Hale Hall Thursday to express concerns about vandalism that occurred on the walls of the campus building. boy who had tweeted that the protestors had nothing to be upset over, that the spray-painted words did not affect them in any way.

In my opinion, this is exactly why the attention to the protestors and their goals of raising awareness of hate crimes and inclusion, not just tolerance, is so important. I wish everyone had heard the two students speak at the trustees’ meeting Friday, because maybe they would understand the message a little better, whether they support it or not.

The protest at the trustee’s meeting was not hard for me to write about.

The part that was hard was reading comments on articles, including my own stories, which attacked everyone from the protestors to OSU students and staff to The Lantern itself for multiple reasons.

Maybe the trick of being a journalist is learning to ignore negative comments about your articles or your organization as a whole that don’t have any real merit.

That being said, I think race is a touchy issue. I often think people are

afraid to express their opinions for fear of sounding racist. I wish we didn’t have to worry about that. Maybe one day we won’t. But I think for now, people should focus on raising awareness for the issues that are important to them and working to fix the laws that allow people who are potentially in the wrong to slide through the cracks. While I think the Stand Your Ground laws should be under review, I am proud to see OSU students stand their ground.

Give me a break: Nonsmokers need work breaks too LANTERN columnist

EMMA DEFILIPPO defilippo.17@osu.edu

Whether you’re a smoker or a nonsmoker, you are likely familiar with the term “smoke break.” As a

nonsmoker, my familiarity stems from the admiration that develops as I watch my co-workers indulge in 10 minutes or so of uninterrupted, paid, break time.

Ten minutes to stand or sit outside where they can smoke, check their phone and re-group. Let’s imagine for a minute a nonsmoker, like myself, walks outside during a shift, sits down and checks his or her text messages. Such a scenario would most likely be followed by a soliloquy of screaming from a manager. But wait – my co-worker just did the exact same thing. Oh, I see, they have an excuse because they’re smoking?

The American Lung Association launched its Smokefree Air Challenge in Ohio in 2006. Smokefree Air refers to the prohibition of smoking in public

places including government and private workplaces, bars and schools in an attempt to reduce people’s exposure to secondhand smoke in public venues.

Ohio has helped the nonsmokers’ health in the workplace, but can we get a break in the workplace?

Unfortunately, federal regulation does not mandate short break periods, but does not prohibit them either. In other words, short break periods – generally lasting five to 20 minutes – are granted to employees at the employers’ discretion. That being said, you might ask, “Then why don’t you ask for a break?” I have worked jobs ranging from selling pet supplies to lifeguarding, and without fail, if I sit down or step into the back room for a drink, a manager will soon find me and throw me, figuratively

speaking, back onto the sales floor, poolside or reception area.

I have nothing against smokers and simply seek an even playing field. As my experience shows, such parallelism in regards to smoke breaks is rarely granted by the employer. So here I am, Ohio, asking you to grab the bull by the horns and lay down the law, or at least refine this one. With the regulation as is, I feel discriminated against in the workplace as a nonsmoker. Similarly, what would happen if an employer granted meal breaks to men but not women? The state would rectify the situation in the blink of an eye and grant such breaks to both genders equally.

Therefore, I simply ask where my nonsmoking break is.

If I cannot have a nonsmoking break

in the workplace, then please discontinue the permission of short breaks for smokers. According to the American Lung Association, smoking costs Ohio’s economy $9.2 billion per year. Maybe, Ohio, if you prohibit smoke breaks in the workplace, that would motivate smokers to quit smoking and lower the economic burden. You have improved the health of your nonsmoking Ohioans, so either show the same kindness to the smoking Ohioans or give me a break.

OUAB Karaoke Night displays talent, laughs EVAN SPEYER Lantern reporter speyer.10@osu.edu When I walked into Woody’s Tavern at the Ohio Union for Karaoke Night, a biweekly event hosted by the Ohio Union Activity Board, I anticipated an evening filled with sub-par singing and awkward laughs. Instead the night featured talented performances, hilarious choreography and a fun-spirited environment.

The first person to step to the stage was Katie Leach, a third-year in human development and family science. There was an almost tangible amount of tension among the crowd of about 50 as

they watched Leach nervously open with Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie.”

While Leach settled into the song, so did the audience. No one paid much attention to a missed lyric or an off-pitch note. From that point forward everyone was relaxed and ready to have a great time.

As a member of Ohio State’s a cappella group, Key of Gee, Leach set the bar high for other singers with their well-sung performances early in the night.

Georgia Efthimiopoulos, a secondyear graduate student in chemistry, said when she saw a flier for Karaoke Night, she decided to come in for a good laugh.

“I am a little disappointed that these people are good,” Efthimiopoulos said.

Though the night featured several performances from Key of Gee members, the highlight of the evening likely came from the inexperienced, and slightly off-pitch karaoke duo of Dan Miller and Brendan Kelly, who performed under the stage name of D-Money and the Cat Daddy.

Miller and Kelly’s rendition of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” featured comical choreography, overemphasized falsetto and personal serenades for members in the crowd. When the duo used a chair while singing the chorus to reenact the scene from the movie “Titanic,” where Jack holds Rose at the bow of the ship with her arms extended, Woody’s Tavern erupted with laughter, applause and cat calls.

Miller, a third-year in geography, said they choreographed some of their act, including the fan-favorite chair scene, but they improvised most of their performance while on stage.

“If you are willing to listen, the stage tells you what to do,” Kelly said.

Miller and Kelly’s performance was one of many enthusiastic acts that captured the true spirit of Karaoke Night.

Billy Brown, a first-year in exploration and OUAB staff member, said Karaoke Night provides an opportunity for students to break out of their shells and do something out of their comfort zone.

“It takes some courage to go up there,” Brown said. “But when you are up there, you can kind of let loose and get ready for the weekend.”

For Key of Gee members, the event provided a change of pace from their usual performances, an environment where they could sing without being judged.

For those who couldn’t find the courage to get on stage, the night still provided plenty of entertainment.

Griffin Lahre, a first-year in marketing, came to Woody’s Tavern for dinner unaware of the event. He said that when he realized karaoke would be taking place during his meal, he had expectations similar to mine.

“I expected awful music, and these people are pretty good,” Lahre said.

“The performances were all enjoyable to watch. It’s been a fun time.”

OSU then-freshman Josh Dezse takes a cut during an April 1, 2011, game against Northwestern. OSU won, 7-2.

Ohio State baseball hosted Big Ten conference-leading Minnesota for a three-game series at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium, and the Buckeyes’ guests came away from the trip to Columbus, Ohio, empty-handed.

The Buckeyes (18-12, 5-4 Big Ten) took all three games in the series from the Golden Gophers (17-16, 3-3 Big Ten). OSU won its fourth-consecutive game Sunday, 4-1, to complete the wins.

Minnesota was on an eight-game winning streak before the series and the sweep represents the first between the two schools since 2001. OSU leads the all-time series 85-84-2.

OSU coach Greg Beals said the key to the series was pitching.

Buckeye sophomore pitcher John Kuchno pitched six scoreless innings Sunday and got help from senior outfielder David Corna, sophomore designated hitter Mike Carroll, freshman outfielder Patrick Porter and sophomore outfielder Tim Wetzel, who each drove in a run to back the OSU starter.

After a Corna RBI groundout and an RBI single up the middle by Carroll put OSU up, 2-0, in the sixth inning, Minnesota tacked on a run in the top of the seventh to halve its deficit.

Wetzel responded with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh. Porter followed with an RBI single that plated OSU junior infielder Ryan Cypret.

OSU had all the offense it needed, and Buckeyes sophomore pitcher Greg Greve eventually closed the game out to earn his first career save.

A key defensive play in Sunday’s game came when Porter threw out Minnesota’s redshirt freshman shortstop Michael Handel at the plate.

Beals said Porter’s throw was the play of the game. Porter said he was surprised Handel tried

to score because he had already thrown a Golden Gopher out at the plate during Saturday’s game.“I was surprised the second time,” Porter said. “I fielded it cleanly and heard (Minnesota’s third base coach) say, ‘go’ and I thought, ‘All right, I’m about to just hose him now.’”

After the win Sunday, OSU improved to 14-0 in games when leading after the seventh inning.

Beals said he was not aware of that statistic, but is proud of it nonetheless.

“That’s a great stat; don’t tell anyone that,” Beals said. “We put a lot of emphasis in our bullpen and our guys out there know I have a lot of confidence in them.”

The Buckeyes allowed just five runs to Minnesota in the series, but OSU had dominant pitching performances throughout the weekend.

The Buckeyes won, 5-3, Saturday afternoon, and were led by junior left-hander Brian King. King pitched seven innings allowing three runs on seven hits with no walks.

Sophomore pitcher Jaron Long may have had the best pitching performance in the series for OSU on Friday.

OSU beat Minnesota Friday night, 2-1, behind Long, who went eight innings, allowing three hits and one run while striking out eight. Long was matched against Minnesota’s ace, junior pitcher TJ Oakes, who struck nine Buckeyes out in a completegame loss. After the game, Long said he doesn’t change the way he pitches while facing the other team’s best pitcher.

“It’s not anything different, it’s still the same game,” Long said. “I just try to go out there and not give up any runs. There are some times when we’re going to jump on their guy and other times when we’re going to have to scratch and claw like tonight.”

OSU returns to action with a Tuesday game against Ohio University. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. at Bill Davis Stadium.

Vrabel: OSU ‘will have good defensive line’ Andrew Williams Lantern reporter williams3384@osu.edu Ohio State defensive line coach Mike Vrabel is taking time this spring to figure out which players might be able to work their way onto the field this fall.

Vrabel is in his first year working with the OSU defensive line after coaching linebackers under previous coach Luke Fickell in 2011. Vrabel said he wants guys who have that competitive fire.

“A sign of a true, great player is that they’re going to compete,” Vrabel said. “And they may not win, but they’re willing to compete and we’ve got guys who are willing to compete and fight.”

Depth is a bit of a concern for the Buckeyes at the defensive line position this spring. There are some veteran players with significant playing experience, but beyond that, Vrabel said he is unsure how many guys will be a part of the rotation for this year’s team.

“If there’s 10 guys we feel comfortable putting in the game, we’ll play 10 guys. If it’s six, we’ll play six,” he said. “Certainly, you’d like to have two-deep. Right now, I don’t think we’re quite there, but that’s what spring’s for.”

The good news for Vrabel is the players he has returning along the defensive line have had success in previous seasons.

Junior Johnathan Hankins, redshirt senior Garrett Goebel and senior John Simon made significant contributions on the line in recent years and look to lead a young group at that position.

Goebel said he’s using his

experience to help some of the younger players adjust.

“This is going to be my fifth year, so it’s definitely nice that I understand the defense,” Goebel said. “Now, I just go out there and just play and try to help other guys learn.”

The defense will rely on the front line to set the tone in each game and Simon said he understands that he plays an integral part in that.

The senior from Youngstown, Ohio, recorded 53 tackles in 2011, including 16 tackles for loss and seven sacks.

He said he has taken on a more vocal role this spring.

“I’m really just trying to step up that leadership role this year,” Simon said. “I think we’re doing a nice job and we’re really getting after the younger guys and it’s going well.”

Simon spoke in regard to Vrabel and what it’s like to be coached by the former Buckeye and three-time Super Bowl champion. He said Vrabel’s experience and knowledge is most valuable to his players.

“Just how he uses his hands and what he thinks before the play even starts is something that I’ve really found intriguing,” Simon said. “We’re just trying to take in every detail he gives us.”

Vrabel also spoke fondly of the Buckeye defensive star and acknowledged that guys like Simon are exceedingly hard to find. He said the leadership and experience Simon brings to the defense is “invaluable” and that he’s a good player to coach.

“He’s a special guy,” Vrabel said.

“He’s a guy I enjoy being around and he’s great for our team.”

Moving forward, Vrabel said he wants his guys to continue to improve this spring and make strides before workouts begin this summer. He

OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel shouts orders during a spring practice session at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center April 4. discussed three things he wants to see from his guys that he said will make the 2012 Buckeyes successful.

“We’re gonna play physical, we’re gonna play square and we’re gonna play with violent hands,” Vrabel said.

“If we do those three things, we’ll be graded positively and if we’re able to go from point A to point B as fast as we can and compete for the length of a play, … we’re gonna have a good D-line.”

NCAA triumph in hand, Shaito sets sights on 2012 Olympics Dan Hope Lantern reporter hope.46@osu.edu There are many traits that could be used to describe sophomore fencer Zain Shaito, but complacency is not one of them. Shaito, who won individual and team titles at the NCAA Fencing National Championships, is pursuing his next goal — qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Shaito won the individual men’s foil championship to lead Ohio State to a 21-point victory in this year’s NCAA national championships. He was one of two individual champions for the Buckeyes, as sophomore Katarzyna Dabrowa won the title in women’s epee. This title was the fourth in program history for OSU, and the third under coach Vladimir Nazlymov.

Shaito described winning the individual and team championships as “an amazing feeling.”

His next step is attempting to qualify for the Olympics. He said he believes his chances of qualifying for the games are “very good.”

Shaito, whose father is Lebanese, will attempt to qualify for the Olympics representing Lebanon, even though he represented the U.S. in the World Championships. He will participate in the Asian and Oceanic Olympic Qualifiers in Wakayama, Japan, on April 20-21.

Shaito said his NCAA Championship victory has helped him build momentum for the Olympic qualifiers. He explained that winning a competition is “the best thing you can do to prepare for the next competition.”

Yury Molchan, who won a bronze medal in the men’s team foil competition in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, is OSU’s foil assistant coach. Shaito credits Molchan in helping him improve his game, saying that he is “taking everything (he) can from him.”

Molchan said he believes Shaito is an Olympic-

caliber fencer and has a “huge chance” to qualify.

Qualifying for Lebanon as an Olympic athlete would be meaningful for Shaito, he said.

“To be able to stand there next to the (Lebanese) flag during the opening ceremony (of the games) would be such an honor,” he said.

Two of Zain Shaito’s younger sisters, Mai and Mona Shaito, are also members of the OSU fencing team. Like Zain Shaito, Mona Shaito will be attending Olympic qualifiers in Wakayama later this month, in an effort to qualify for the games as a Lebanese athlete.

Mona Shaito is only a 17-year-old freshman, but she finished third individually in women’s foil in the NCAA National Championships. Mona Shaito, who began fencing at the age of 9, said she “never dreamed of being in the Olympics” as a child. Eight years later, however, she is ready to pursue the Olympic dream alongside her brother.

Michigan’s offense struck early and often to help the No. 20 Wolverines sweep the Ohio State softball team in a threegame series at Buckeye Field over the weekend.

The Wolverines outscored the Buckeyes, 27-11, and out-hit them, 32-16, on the way to three key wins in Big Ten play. Both teams entered the series with a 5-1 record in the conference.

Game three was the most tightly contested of the weekend, but it didn’t look that way early as senior pitcher Mikayla endicott dug herself a hole in the top of the first inning. endicott threw 60 pitches, walked five batters and gave up four runs before OSU ever had a chance to step to the plate. She credited the Wolverine batters for the length of her first inning.

“I just kept attacking them, mixing things up,” endicott said. “It was a battle and I was just trying to keep them off-balance and throw my game.”

Trailing, 4-0, the Buckeyes responded quickly in the bottom of the first. A leadoff single followed by two hit batters loaded the bases with no outs and evelyn Carrillo took advantage of the opportunity. The sophomore first baseman hit a grand slam over the right field wall to tie the game.

Carrillo said she had a good idea of what pitch she would see.

“I was expecting change-up all day today because I knew they had gotten me the previous day on a change-up,” she said. “I was like something up, I’m just gonna hit it, and that’s what it was.”

The Wolverines added one run in the second and one in the third to make the score 6-4 and the Buckeyes couldn’t overcome the deficit. OSU scored once in the bottom of the fifth on a Michigan error, but that was it as OSU fell, 6-5.

Despite the third loss to Michigan in two days, senior shortstop Alicia Herron found some positives in game three.

“We came out a lot better the second game in comparison to the first two games,” Herron said. “We played tougher, we made adjustments, we were better at the plate. Overall it was just much better.”

In game two, OSU built an early lead, but saw it disappear quickly. The Buckeyes

osu then-freshman 1st baseman evelyn Carillo collects a throw to 1st base against michigan state may 8, 2011. osu won, 1-0. batted through the order in the bottom of the first and took an early 3-1 lead.

The Wolverines’ potent offense answered in the top of the second with five runs and never looked back. They added one run in the third, one in the fourth, two in the sixth, one in the seventh and finished the game with 16 hits to defeat the Buckeyes, 11-4.

OSU coach Linda Kalafatis said it wasn’t the physical aspect of the game that caused her team problems.

“A lot of this was mental and we had some breakdowns,” Kalafatis said. “A great program like Michigan isn’t gonna let you get away with a whole lot.”

On Friday, game one started and ended the same way as game two. The Buckeyes scored two in the first inning thanks to a Herron home run, but could not muster another run the rest of the game.

Meanwhile, the Wolverines blasted endicott for nine runs in three innings of work to build a 9-2 lead before tacking on one run in the seventh off freshman pitcher Olivia O’Reilly to post a 10-2 victory.

OSU fell to 23-14 on the season and 5-4 in the Big Ten while Michigan improved to 27-10 and 8-1 in the conference.

The Buckeyes finish up a six-game homestand Wednesday at 6 p.m. versus Dayton at Buckeye Field.

Ohio State trailed arch-rival Michigan, 4-0, Saturday when evelyn Carrillo stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning. The sophomore first baseman had one thought as she stared down Wolverine freshman pitcher Haylie Wagner.

“The mentality I have is something up, I bang,” Carrillo said. She did just that. Wagner left a change-up in the zone and Carrillo lifted it over the wall in right field for a grand slam to tie the game, 4-4.

Changing the game with one swing of the bat is nothing new for Carrillo. The Corona, Calif., native is batting .364 this season with five home runs and 33 RBIs to help the Buckeyes to a 23-14 record on the year.

She attributes her productivity to the mental approach she brings to the plate.

“As a hitter you gotta make sure you stay confident,” Carrillo said. “And just have that mindset where if I see my pitch I’m just gonna hit it.”

Carrillo was named Big Ten Player of the Week after the Buckeyes’ three-game series at Michigan State during the last weekend in March.

She helped OSU sweep the Spartans by going 11-for-12 at the plate with eight RBIs, including a career-high six RBIs in the first game of the series. It was the first career conference honor of Carrillo’s career.

OSU coach Linda Kalafatis isn’t surprised by her first baseman’s success at the plate this year and said she doesn’t expect it to stop anytime soon. “evelyn, I think, has got the prettiest swing on the team,” Kalafatis said. “I expect big things from her for the rest of her career.”

Perhaps the biggest benefactor of Carrillo’s success this season has been shortstop Alicia Herron. The senior captain is having the best statistical season of her career in her final year as a Buckeye and said hitting behind her fellow infielder has been a huge help.

More than $3,330 was raised for charity at the 14th Annual Battle of the Bands, sponsored by sophomore honorary Romophos, which is going to be used to fund music programs for underprivileged schoolchildren.

The concert, which took place at Newport Music Hall Thursday, benefits the Columbus CityMusic’s Musical Opportunities Reward Everyone program, an initiative that helps fund school music programs in an age when some programs often wind up on a school board’s chopping block.

“We wanted to do something more local,” said Ben Hemmelgarn, a second-year in molecular genetics and Romophos president. “We sort of searched around for a group we wanted to donate to. We fell in love with what they actually did, and we thought that it was extremely appropriate.”

Heidi Howes, executive director of CityMusic, said she was surprised when Romophos contacted her with the news that it had chosen to fund her program.

“We were ecstatic because it’s increasingly harder to fund things in music and the arts,” Howes said. “Especially to come from students, it’s really special for us. It’s the kind of acknowledgement that makes us feel like we are doing something important.”

The concert drew about 330 people and tickets were $10.

The bands, which included Scrimshaw and the Mariner, Wooden Teeth, Big Game and Deadwood Floats, were drawn from the Columbus area and competed for seven hours of recording time at local Oranjudio Recording Studio. The prize ultimately went to Deadwood Floats.

“It’s a pretty good cause,” said Deadwood Floats vocalist Adam Schutz. “Music is important to all of us.”

@LanternAE

Amanda Abney Lantern reporter abney.14@osu.edu The crowd was larger at CD101: Side B Saturday than at last weekend’s Side A show. At Side B, Reptar, The Features, Walk the Moon and The Naked and Famous performed for a sold-out crowd at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.

Cincinnati indie-rock band, Walk the Moon, stole the show. It shot the energy level through the roof, sending the pit into a bouncing, dancing and crowdsurfing frenzy. Bassist Kevin Ray did the “O-H” sign with his arms, and some in the crowd responded with “I-O.” Walk the Moon played all three new songs off its 2012 EP, “Anna Sun.” The crowd ate it up when they played “Tightrope” and “Next in Line.”

The crowd burst into dancing, jumping, singing and crowd-surfing again during the song, “Anna Sun.” The lyrics include “Live my life without coming up for air / Now it’s all a wash.”

The Naked and Famous, hailing from New Zealand, played an amazing show. Its lighting system was a series of chains that projected colors and images behind the stage. The band’s electrical sound shined on stage.

The Naked and Famous opened with “All of This” off its 2010 album, “Passive Me, Aggressive You.” Many of the songs the band played were from this album.

At the beginning the sound was low, and this shocked me. As the band started to play more into its first song, the sound got louder. It also took the crowd a little while to warm up to the band’s style of music.

But by the time the band played its hit song “Punching in a Dream,” the crowd was dancing and singing along with the chorus. The lyrics make it seem as though the song is about young, naive love — “The bittersweet between my teeth / Trying to find the in-between / Fall back in love eventually.”

The song “A Wolf in Geek’s Clothing” was

Deadwood Floats perform at the 14th annual Battle of the Bands, sponsored by Romophos, april 5 at newport Music hall. Deadwood Floats won the competition.

Battle from 1B OSU Department of Dance. Throughout the night, restaurant gift cards, posters and other prizes were given away.

While listening to the bands, students were offered free food from Raising Cane’s Chicken, Chipotle and other restaurants.

The night started out fairly slow, with about 30 people on the floor in front of the stage during the first few bands. By the end of the night, however, the crowd had become much more receptive to the performances, and more than 100 students crowded in front of the stage.

Many students said they enjoyed the show.

“The concert was good, the food was really great, and having been in choir, I know how much music can mean to people,” said Ryan Cooper, a first-year in psychology. “It’s a really awesome cause.”

Cooper said some of the rock bands were a little too loud for his taste, though.

Karthik Hari, a second-year in engineering, said she had a good time at the event.

“I thought it was really well organized,

especially for an organization with new members each year,” Hari said.

Though Hemmelgarn said he was pleased with the amount of money donated, he said Romophos still fell short of its original goal to surpass last year’s earnings.

“We raised just over $4,000 last year, and we wanted to hit that goal this year, but we were still really happy with what we got,” Hemmelgarn said.

Hemmelgarn said the decline in profits might have been due to packages that allowed 10 tickets to be bought for $75. He said it also might have been the fact that ticket prices weren’t as high as he thought they could have been.

Though Hemmelgarn and other Romophos members will move on to different honoraries next year, he said he has high hopes for future Battle of the Bands.

“There’s always room for improvement,” he said. “If there’s anything I’d focus on more, it would be the marketing aspect. We could definitely sell more tickets, and there are different avenues that could be explored, such as putting up more posters in the library and on buses.”

member. “Thousands of people gather, come to shop and eat Indian traditional food in Mela.”

Nisha Arora, a second-year in biology and president of the Indian American Association, said all the profits from the event will be donated to OSU’s Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Pragati Path, a charitable organization in India.

“One of our main goals is try (to) give back to community,” Arora said. “This year, we chose to go with the James because we thought giving back to community is also giving back to the university that helps make (the) event that is going on right now.”

Ronak Mehta, a fourth-year in communication technology and Srujan chair, said most funding comes from the Council on Student Affairs, which helps fund student organizations.

She said she collected $3,000 in programming funds this year, and $22,000 to $25,000 was donated over the past three years.

Buckeye Mela hosted three sports tournaments: cricket, basketball at the RPAC and soccer at the Adventure Recreation Center.

A block party, where students could browse booths representing South Asian culture or make donations, was held at the RPAC Pavilion Saturday with free food, games, performances and music.

Hager Awad, a third-year in civil engineering, said she enjoyed the block party because it is diverse.

“I can meet people from different countries that I normally don’t,” Awad said. “I like that other organizations take this as an opportunity to represent what they have to offer.”

After the block party, Srujan, one of the biggest intercollegiate dance competitions in the nation, occurred Saturday in Mershon Auditorium at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Srujan helps shine light on South Asian customs, Arora said.

“Competitive dance is a huge part of the culture, especially in Indian-American culture in the United States,” Arora said.

CD101 from 1B reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails. It has a very strong and fast drum beat with screeching guitar riffs and synth lines. This was actually one of my favorite songs The Naked and Famous performed.

The song that grabbed the audience was the band’s song, “Girls Like You.” The lyrics of “Girls Like You” made me think that guitarist, singer and producer Thom Powers had a run-in with a specific type of girl. “What would you do if you lost your beauty? / How would you deal with the light?” were powerful lyrics.

The band closed out its two-song encore with “Young Blood,” which sent the crowd into a frenzy

It featured South Asian dance teams from across the country, including teams from universities such as Carnegie Mellon, Duke, Penn State, Columbia and Northwestern.

Shivani Dave, a captain of the University of North Carolina’s fusion dance team, Chalkaa, said she was excited to perform dance and celebrate South Asian culture at OSU. “We love to dance,” Dave said. “We (had) some friends (come) with us from UNC to support from the crowd. It is (a) really awesome experience.”

Ten teams divided into two categories: a traditional dance called bhangra, and fusion. Each team competed for a $3,000 cash prize. First place in bhangra was Carnegie Mellon University Bhangra and first place in fusion was Northwestern A. Nu. Bhav.

Some students, like Nick Pasquarello, a fourthyear in psychology and sociology, had never experienced Srujan.

“The acts are longer than I thought they would be, but I didn’t really anticipate anything coming here since it’s my first time,” Pasquarello said. “I think that it’s really interesting that they include dubstep music in the show. It’s awesome.”

Hutchinson Persons, a fourth-year in philosophy, on the other hand, was not new to the Srujan crowd.

“This is my second time seeing Srujan” he said.

“I enjoyed it last year, and it’s nice that the tickets for students are free.”

A student from Carnegie Mellon, Shivani Shrivastava, has attended Buckeye Mela for the past four years.

“It was really great and really well-run, as usual,” Shrivastava said after the show. “Also, it’s very awesome that (the) CMU Bhangra team got the first place.”

Tickets to Srujan were free for OSU students and $16 for the public.

Anya Ursu contributed to this story.

of singing, dancing and crowd-surfing. The lyrics are very dark: “I don’t ever want to be here / Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare.”

The Features did not disappoint the crowd, either. The audience sang and danced when it played the hit song, “How it Starts,” off the 2011 album, “Wilderness.”

Reptar brought a high energy level to the show when it performed “Stuck in my Id,” off its 2011 album, “Oblangle Fizz Y’all.” Reptar’s sound was rock with a bit of pop sprinkled in, and lyrics such as, “I never meant to hurt you, yeah / No, I never meant to blame” make it hard not to love them.
