Obama, Romney split on gay marriage SARAH STEMEN Oller reporter stemen.66@osu.edu President Barack Obama publicly said he supports same-sex marriage just one day after North Carolina approved a ban, and Ohio State students are taking notice.

During an ABC interview, Obama said he has changed his position regarding same-sex marriage to favor it. In 2008, Obama voiced his opposition to same sex-marriage, citing that he favors

civil unions instead. Later in 2010, the president said his position was “evolving,” with widespread speculation that he was leaning toward supporting it.

Tim Valentine, president of Scarlet and Gay at OSU, said the organization is proud of Obama for taking a stand for marriage equality on the cusp of the ban in North Carolina.

“It will be our hope that the state of Ohio will follow President Obama’s lead and show the large gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer population of this state that our rights are important,” Valentine said.

Ohio could become the 38th state to ban texting while driving for all drivers, and the first state to prohibit 16- and 17-year-olds from using hand-held electronic devices while driving, after a text-ban bill cleared the Ohio Senate last Thursday.

The bill passed 25-8 in the Senate, with an even split of Democrats and Republicans voting against it. The bill must be approved by the House of Representatives before it is signed by Gov. John Kasich to be enacted. A spokesperson for Rep. Rex Damschroder, a Republican from Fremont who co-sponsored the bill, said it will likely be heard on the House floor May 15.

The House voted 88-10 to approve a version of the text-ban bill last June that did not include the ban of hand-held electronic devices for beginning drivers.

The updated version of the bill would make texting while driving a secondary offense for drivers 18 years old and older, meaning a driver caught texting must have been pulled over for violating another traffic violation that occurred first. Violators of the texting ban would pay a fine of up to $150.

For drivers younger than 18, texting while driving and the use of hand-held electronic devices for typing or talking, which include iPads, laptops and computer tablets, would be a primary offense. Those found in violation would face a $150 fine and 60-day license suspension the

He said that although Scarlet and Gay does not have a specific political affiliation, members of the organization are happy to see politicians working for the gay community.

“We support the efforts of Equality Ohio and other leaders who have done great work toward this cause,” he said.

Obama said he discussed his stance on samesex marriage with first lady Michelle Obama before making the announcement Wednesday.

U.S. Representative to the U.N., Susan Rice, has been selected as the Spring Commencement speaker.

As part of Ohio State’s 400th commencement ceremony and last ceremony before the semester switch, the university will host United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice as its Spring Commencement speaker this June.

Rice will address the graduates and guests during the ceremony in Ohio Stadium. About 10,000 students will be receiving their diplomas, the highest number in university history, according to university press release.

“We are honored to have Ambassador Susan Rice address our graduates and their families at our largest commencement ever,” President E. Gordon Gee said in the press release. “Ambassador Rice is a scholar, a leader on the international stage, and a fierce advocate for peace and human rights. Her extraordinary insights and life lessons will be the ideal epilogue to inspire the next generation of leaders.”

Rice is a member of President Barack Obama’s cabinet and has been the U.S. ambassador for the U.N. since November 2009. Previously, Rice served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State of African Affairs and served as Special Assistant to former president Bill Clinton, according to United States Mission to the U.N. website.

Last spring, OSU hosted Republican and Speaker of the House John Boehner as its commencement speaker, which received some backlash from students via the Internet. Facebook groups like “Ohio State Says ‘No’ to John Boehner as Spring Commencement Speaker,” reached about 560 members to protest Boehner as a graduation speaker for his political views, according to an April 25, 2011, article in The Lantern.

During Gee’s visit to The Lantern newsroom in late April, he said he did not think this spring’s commencement speaker will be as political due to November’s presidential elections.

“You know, this is an interesting time for us.

We’re a very popular place. The president of the

campus Timing of Obama’s gay marriage stand is not surprising CAMPUS Editor

OSU Emergency Management has developed a system that allows students, faculty and staff to receive a text message and phone call on their cell phones when the National Weather Service issues severe thunderstorm and tornado warning on campus.

This service is available for all Ohio State campuses.

THOMAS BRADLEY bradley.321@osu.edu

New phone alert system aims to keep students safe and dry

After opposing same-sex marriage before the 2008 election, President Barack Obama seems to have had a change of heart on the issue. But is a change of heart the real reason he switched views and supported a nationwide movement to legalize same-sex marriage?

The short answer is no. I am proposing that Obama doesn’t actually believe in same-sex marriage and is still on the fence about the issue.

Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden publicly voiced his opinions in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, Obama joined Biden in support of same-sex marriage saying he was now in favor of the issue.

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, samesex relationships, who are raising kids together,” Obama told ABC News Wednesday. “At a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.”

Interesting thought. Even more interesting because it comes just one day after the Gallup polling company releases a poll titled, “Half of Americans Support Legal Gay Marriage.”

The poll found that 65 percent of Democrats thought that same-sex marriage “should be legal.”

That is to be expected.

The poll found that 22 percent of Republicans thought that same-sex marriage “should be legal.”

No surprises here.

But here is the kicker: The poll found that 57 percent of registered Independent voters thought that same-sex marriage “should be legal.”

I am not in Obama’s head. I do not know his thoughts, I cannot experience what he has experienced or know if he has had a change a heart. But for a man who kicked off a re-election campaign on Saturday on Ohio State’s campus, a man who is vying for a second term in the White House, a man who changed what appeared to be a core value, the timing seems off.

While I can’t comment on how close I think the election will be, and I can’t comment on how badly Obama is working for votes, I can say that this “change in heart” looks suspiciously close to a political ploy for votes.

Within a week of kicking off his campaign and a day after a poll from the most reputable polling company in the world, Obama now agrees with what the poll calls “half of Americans.”

Last time I checked, votes from half of America would just about win an election.

“What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Obama said in 2004.

His thoughts on same-sex marriage have publicly evolved over time, and I have no doubt he has been struggling with the issue on a personal, religious level.

“I have been to this point unwilling to sign on to same-sex marriage primarily because of my understandings of the traditional definitions of marriage,” Obama said in 2010.

In the thick of his re-election bid, in the middle of a personal struggle for his own personal truth, this change in heart on this controversial policy issue now appears to be nothing but a plea for votes.

It should be noted that the legalization of same-sex marriage is an issue that is handled by state governments. Whether Obama has any power in legalizing same-sex marriage in any state, he might have curiously turned a deep personal struggle into a re-election scheme.

Alert system helps students weather storms JENNIFER JUNG Lantern reporter jung.335@osu.edu A service from Ohio State Emergency Management allows students, faculty and staff to receive National Weather Service warnings for the campus area directly to their phones.

The new service sends a text message and phone call to any student, faculty or staff member who registers when OSU campus is under an severe thunderstorm or tornado warning. Community members can register on the Buckeye Alert website.

After the National Weather Service issues a warning, Emergency Management immediately sends a text message with information about the storm to all registered cell phones.

Bob Armstrong, a director of Emergency Management and Fire Prevention, said the severe weather text alert service is designed to help everyone know if they are in danger due to severe weather.

“We just felt there is a need,” he said. “It was something that we didn’t have before and now

we have an opportunity to offer this service up to everyone. We thought it was a good idea and we are trying it out.”

Armstrong said the new method of reacting to severe weather is more efficient than common methods such as listening for a siren and checking with local media.

“It will get the message out quicker,” he said.

“Sometimes tornado sirens go off when tornadoes are 20 miles away on the other side of the county.

Text and phone calls are only going to come if we are in the direct path of the storm or the tornado.”

Armstrong said the service costs the university $5,000 a year. The service is available for the Columbus campus and all other regional campuses. At this time, those who register are only able to receive alert messages for one campus.

Armstrong said that as technology improves, Emergency Management will attempt to provide alerts to students at more than one campus.

After July 31, all previous records of registered information will be deleted and people who want to continue receiving severe weather text messages have to re-register the service at the end of July.

Mike Joyce, a fourth-year in atmospheric

science, signed up for the service and said it is a “fantastic.”

“It’s a nice, simple way for students to find out about weather alerts and it doesn’t take much effort,” he said. “A lot of students don’t know what’s going on when weather happens. They are not consistently watching the weather, in fact. They are just looking at the sky.”

Tessa Occhionero, a first-year in business, said she is not likely to use this service.

“I don’t think I really need it, because I already have apps on my iPod for the weather and the news around the area,” she said.

Armstrong said about 500 students, faculty and staff have signed up for the service since April 1.

“Because it’s a new service, many people did not sign up yet,” Armstrong said. “We expect people to learn about it over time and next year we do expect significant number of registers.”

Sugar consumption not so sweet for health ALLIE JANNECK Lantern reporter janneck.4@osu.edu Ohio State students might want to take a closer look at the food they consume on campus, as reports of sugar being a toxin have recently been debated.

A YouTube video called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” has generated more than 2.4 million views, which highlights concerns from Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatrics professor at University of California– San Francisco. The video discusses Americans’ abundant sugar consumption, and Lustig said excess sugar has many harmful affects.

Reports show that Americans consume about 130 pounds of added sugars per person, per year, which comes out to about 59,000 grams of sugar.

People have a natural affinity for sweeter foods, and overconsumption can begin at a young age and stay with someone throughout his or her entire life.

Julie Kennel, program director for the OSU’s Department of Human Nutrition, said the threat of sugar overconsumption leads to health complications from obesity, but said she does not think it is necessarily “toxic.”

“One of the major issues with obesity is its link to Type 2 diabetes,” Kennel said. “It can then lead to further complications like kidney disease, amputations and blindness. Eventually it will lead to increased risk of heart disease and cancer.”

Christine Kaiser, a first-year in communication, said she knows the threats of diabetes all to well because it runs in her family. She said she tries to make healthier choices when visiting her lunch spot at Union Market.

“Diabetes runs in my family, I personally don’t have it, but some of my relatives do,” Kaiser said.

She said she tries to limit the sweets she consumes.

Healthy sugars from natural sources like fructose in fruits and lactose in milk are the sugars that people should be consuming, and not the refined sugars like sucrose that is in table sugar.

Kennel said she is reluctant to call sugar toxic,

Ideally for Women

Women should consume no more than 100 calories per day of added sugars. This does not include sugars found in dairy or fruit naturally.

but recognizes that excess amounts lead to health problems. She said most Americans are probably not aware of how much sugar they consume and thinks nutritional labels for restaurants, especially on campus, might be beneficial.

“We have some evidence that providing nutritional information at the point of purchase is beneficial in terms of people making healthier choices,” Kennel said. “I know that you can look it up on an app, but that does involve some forethought.”

She recommends that people consume no more than 5 to 15 percent of their total calories from added sugars and solid fats. Reports show that people have 35 percent of their calories from these sources, which needs to be cut down by more than half to reach Kennel’s dietary guidelines.

Sarah Hetterscheidt, a first-year in food science,

said students need a good balance between diet and exercise to stay healthy. “(Students should) try to eat one less sweet than you normally would in a day and drink less soda,” Hetterscheidt said.

Kennel said she wants to work with OSU dining services to facilitate an overall healthier campus.

“I think there is still room on this campus to improve the offerings (of healthier food choices),” Kennel said. “Our department works with dining services and is continuing to kind of bridge that relationship to continue to offer ways in which that can be done or supported.”

about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people,” Barack Obama said.

There are six states in which same-sex marriage is legal: Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York, plus Washington, D.C. Massachusetts passed the law in 2004 when Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney was governor. According to The New York Times, Romney stood behind his views, opposing the law, going as far as calling Massachusetts “San Francisco East.”

Ohio’s Attorney General Mike DeWine proposed a state constitutional amendment that would permit same-sex marriage. He was later threatened with a lawsuit by the Ohio Campaign to Protect Marriage.

One OSU student, Katherine Chang, a secondyear in biology, said she thinks Barack Obama will gain followers through his announcement.

“I support this,” Chang said. “He’ll definitely gain a large population that is now supporting gay marriage because you kind of see that movement growing.”

College Republicans communication director, Niraj Antani, said he doubts the president voiced his personal opinion, but instead is voicing what his followers want to hear.

“I doubt his announcement today reflects his personal views,” Antani said. “Rather he is flip-flopping to gain political points with his base, something that comes as no surprise from him.”

Antani said he is trying to appeal to his followers with the announcement.

“He’s playing politics as usual and is trying to keep his base at bay,” Antani said. “His base would have been furious if he didn’t come out in support today.”

During his ABC interview, Barack Obama addressed college Republicans.

“When I go to college campuses, sometimes I talk to college Republicans who think that I have terrible policies on the economy, on foreign policy,” Barack Obama said. “But are very clear that when it comes to same-sex equality or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality.”

Abdulai Abdullah, a fourth-year in aviation, said Barack Obama’s announcement should not have happened because he shouldn’t be concerned about the issue.

“He needs to get away from people’s bedrooms and focus on the economy. The local and state will take care of that,” Abdullah said. “He should just care about how people are supposed to feed their families. What happens in someone’s bedroom is nobody’s business.”

Romney, reiterated his views on same-sex marriage after a campaign event in Oklahoma City.

“I have the same view on marriage that I had when I was governor. I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman,” Romney said.

“I have the same view I’ve had since, well, running for office.”

OSU political science professor Nathaniel Swigger said he is surprised by Barack Obama’s announcement due to his silence after Vice President Joe Biden endorsed same-sex marriage Sunday on NBC. “There is a risk, certainly, but I think this statement shows that the president isn’t as afraid of this issue as other Democrats have been in the past,” Swigger said. “I strongly suspect that Romney and the Republicans will respond to that issue, but we have seen an increase in support for gay rights that we’ve seen over the past couple of years.”

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan voiced his support for the legalization of same-sex marriage Monday as well.

Jasmine Young, a second-year in business administration, said she doesn’t think that Barack Obama’s opinion will change the issue that much.

“I hope it wouldn’t affect (Barack Obama’s campaign) in a bad way. It should actually get him more people,” Young said. “Maybe people who are gay or believe in same-sex marriage might agree and say, ‘We want to follow with that.’ It could help.”

According to a recent Gallup poll dated May 3 to 6, 50 percent of Americans think same-sex marriage should be legalized, while 48 percent do not.

Texting from 1A first time they are found in violation, and in subsequent violations would pay $300 with a year-long license suspension.

If enacted, the texting ban would have a six-month grace period where violators would be issued warnings rather than fines and license suspensions.

Sen. Jim Hughes, R-Columbus, voted for the bill but said he wishes there were fewer exceptions for when drivers could engage in text-based communication. The bill has 10 exceptions for adults and three exceptions for 16- and 17-year-olds, which include exemptions for the use of text-based communication in emergencies and for navigation.

“It’s a start in the right direction to save lives,” Hughes said.

Sen. Nina Turner, D-Cleveland, said that as the proposed bill would not prohibit all driving distractions, enforcing the bill would be difficult.

“If you’re over 18, you can still use an MP3 player, play Angry Birds, even check email while driving,” Turner said in an emailed statement. “There are so many exceptions that it would be a difficult law to effectively enforce. How can a police officer know whether someone is texting, dialing or using apps?”

Sen. Bill Coley, R-Middletown, said he could not support a bill that limits personal freedom.

“It would save lives at a cost of freedom. And that’s a price I’m not willing to pay,” Coley said.

“Bottom line, the freedom to run your life should be respected. It’s an individual right to make your own decisions.”

Coley said roads would be safer if texting while driving was banned but said there isn’t a way to make driving completely safe.

“We could require every driver to wear a helmet like they do in NASCAR and then say, ‘You know what, that’s still not safe enough, so let’s make it a helmet with chin protection,’” Coley said. “There’s always going to be a way for even more extensive protection.”

Antonio Venegas, a second-year in international studies and sport and leisure studies, said he agrees with the anti-texting bill.

“You shouldn’t be using your phone while driving … Pull over, pull into a parking lot,” Venegas said. “I just don’t see the point of texting while driving and putting yourself in danger and putting others around you in danger.”

Other students agreed with the texting ban

Spring from 1A United States has indicated he wants to come on campus a couple of times. We had more visits from presidential candidates than a number of states did,” Gee told The Lantern on April 23. “We want to try to keep it somewhat out of the political arena in an election year, because you know no matter what happens, and we’ve had a couple of people that would love to come that just aren’t able to, so we keep it kind of open, and we don’t announce it until very close because things can change. But you know we’ll have a wonderful speaker, I can assure you of that.”

Jim Lynch, university spokesperson, said he does not anticipate Rice delivering a political speech.

“I was aware at the time of our visit (to The Lantern newsroom) about the commencement speaker being pursued, and I must agree that I did not view this speaker as someone who would be delivering a political message,” Lynch said in an email to The Lantern.

Similar to last year, some students are angry about this year’s commencement speaker coming from a political background. Kalee Barnhardt, a fourth-year in communication who will graduate this June, is not pleased with the university’s choice.

“I was pissed,” Barnhartt said. “I definitely don’t want to go.”

An Ohio law will put further restrictions on the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. overall but had concerns about specific aspects of the ban.

Molly Martinez, a graduate student in psychology, said she agrees that beginning drivers should have additional restrictions but disagrees with the age distinction, as people begin driving at different ages.

“Age is arbitrary,” she said. “It should be the first two years on your license. You could be getting your license for the first time at 20. That doesn’t mean you’re a better driver.”

Sujay Mehta, a second-year in biology, said that while he thinks the anti-texting bill is fair, the potential for someone to pay two fines in an area with a local ban is not.

Local anti-texting laws for drivers that exist in cities like Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Gahanna and Bexley would remain in place under the bill. A violator could receive a ticket for violating a local ordinance against texting and a second ticket for violating the possible state ban.

“We as a country don’t agree with double jeopardy, so why would this be OK?” Mehta said. “A state law should go over a county law.”

Mehta also said he has doubts of whether the texting ban would be effective in changing behavior.

“People are still going to do it,” he said. “They’re just going to hide it better.”

better known, personally hoping OSU’s former head football coach Jim Tressel would be the speaker.

“I was hoping they would do someone fun,” Barnhartt said.

Brandon Fuller, a fourth-year in communication who will also be graduating in June, wished to see OSU Board of Trustees President and Chairman and CEO of Limited Brands Les Wexner give the commencement address.

“He gave us a gazillion dollars, why not an hour?”

Fuller said.

Like most students, neither Barnhartt nor Fuller are familiar with Rice, but some students are interested in what the speaker has to say.

“I am a fan of our current president, so I would like to hear a cabinet member speak,” said Kimberly DiMauro, a fifth-year in microbiology graduating this spring.

Though DiMauro doesn’t consider herself too political, she said hearing a politician speak was “relevant” due to the upcoming presidential election.

“I think I am more interested because it is an election year,” she said.

Attempts to contact Rice were unsuccessful.

Spring commencement will be held in Ohio Stadium on June 10 at noon.

‘Best Day of Your Life’ fosters mental health awareness ANya Ursu Lantern reporter ursu.4@osu.edu For some Ohio State students, Wednesday was the best day of their lives, complete with a giant inflatable yellow duck.

The Best Day of Your Life, a day full of activities and programs designed to remind students about what makes them happy, was sponsored by Ohio Staters, Inc. Staters said the intention behind the event is to improve the state of mental health among college students by providing a day full of giveaways. The organization also informed students about the mental health resources that are available on campus.

“Thirty percent of all college students have mental health issues, namely depression. Two-thirds of those students don’t speak up about their needs,” said Anooj Bhandari, co-chair of Best Day of Your Life and a second-year in public affairs.

The yellow duck has been a staple for the event since it first began five years ago, and organizers said it is a symbol of happiness for many.

Staters began planning the event during Fall Quarter, developing new marketing strategies and changes to last year’s events.

“In previous years, it was not marketed at all until the day of, and this is something that we changed this year. We created a website and a Twitter account so that people could have a schedule of events in advance, to plan their day better,” Bhandari said.

The day included inflatables, yoga sessions, therapy dogs, massages in the RPAC, a movie on the Oval and more. Booths with mental health resources were also set up around campus.

“I had no idea what the event is for, I just know about it because a friend tweeted something about it and there’s free food,” said Megan Michaelis, a first-year in biology.

Various organizations including Ohio Union Activities Board, Yoga Club and Hounds for Humanity contributed to the event.

Panera provided bagels and coffee in the morning and Chipotle provided lunch at Younkin Success Center.

“Students aren’t aware that they get 10 free counseling sessions at Younkin, and we hope that the resource booths will help them be more informed and to take advantage of what is available to them,” Bhandari said.

Free Chipotle only lasted for about 30 minutes before running out.

“I’m kind of disappointed that the food ran out so fast, but it doesn’t ruin the day for me. I think it’s a good event for the campus,” said Ray Schrand, a second-year in business.

The Student Wellness Center and OSU Suicide Prevention also set up booths around campus to talk with students about counseling options when stress management issues arise.

“I know not everyone in OSI may feel this way, but I think that if we can help at least one person at Ohio State be happier or to seek counseling, then Best Day is a success to me,” Bhandari said.

OSI received $5,000 to fund the event along with about $1,500 in donations.

Jim Gaffigan performed his newest standup comedy routine at 8 p.m. May 9 at Mershon Auditorium.

Friday

From Subway to McDonald’s, comedian Jim Gaffigan had a score of menu items to serve up to almost 2,000 Ohio State students Wednesday night.

Gaffigan appeared in the Mershon Auditorium at 8 p.m. for an Ohio Union Activities Board sponsored event, “An Evening with Jim Gaffigan.”

For his hour of standup, Gaffigan had the auditorium full of laughter as he discussed family, dietary habits, fast food restaurants and going to the bar.

“For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Urban Meyer,” Gaffigan yelled to a laughing crowd.

He then divulged on parenthood, especially the newest addition to his family, his fourth child.

“Just imagine you’re drowning, and then someone hands you a baby,” he said.

Eating habits and various fast food chain restaurants played a part in Gaffigan’s act.

“Hot dogs are like strippers,” Gaffigan said. “You don’t want to hear their back story.”

Another focus of Gaffigan’s jokes was McDonald’s. Although most people won’t admit they eat there, he said almost everyone does because its food is actually amazing.

“Has your mom ever made anything as good as McDonald’s fries?” he asked. “Of course not.”

Gaffigan said he always hears people say they would never eat at McDonald’s.

“Well McDonald’s wouldn’t want you, because you’re a d---,” he said.

But people’s attitudes toward McDonald’s wasn’t the only thing Gaffigan said annoyed him. He said picking up a friend from the bar is like picking up a toddler from day care. There is always someone screaming, crying or wanting to get in a fight.

“He was standing where I wanted to stand,” Gaffigan yelled. “Or, she was my best friend, but not anymore.”

Gaffigan also said at every bar there is “that guy” who uses anything as an excuse to take a shot, and he peer pressures others to join him.

“He acts like you’re rejecting a sweater that he crocheted you,” Gaffigan said.

Referring to women bartenders who act like “the master” of the bar toward costumers Gaffigan said, “I’m not going to say b----y … Because that would describe them perfectly.”

On the other end of the spectrum, Gaffigan said women bartenders also have the habit of calling people “honey” and sounding like your grandma. “‘What can I get you, honey,’” he mocked. “‘Oh, I don’t know, maybe a birthday card with $2 in it.”

Going back to food, Gaffigan said his eating habits were not so healthy.

“I’m on a diet,” he said. “That Domino’s pasta

bread bowl diet. The only ingredient missing is a suicide note.”

Gaffigan poked fun at various food chains, aside from Domino’s. His jokes about Subway seemed to be a crowd pleaser.

“It’s fun to watch a clinically depressed person make your sandwich,” Gaffigan said. “They make it right in front of you, why not do it with some flare?”

After then proceeding to joke about his weight, lack of exercise and then pretending to talk on an imaginary phone to “annoy” the audience, Gaffigan thanked the crowd and walked off stage. He returned for an encore saying that he had went behind stage to eat a Hot Pocket, after the majority of Mershon Auditorium gave him a standing ovation.

Robert Brickner, a fourth-year in sport and leisure studies, said he enjoyed the entire show and that Gaffigan was hilarious.

“My favorite line was, ‘Hot dogs are like strippers, you don’t want to know their backstory,’” Brickner said.

Mollie Worthington, a first-year in biochemical engineering, said she has always loved Gaffigan and his non-vulgar style of performing.

“He has a rambling way of telling his jokes,” she said. “It takes a couple seconds to get it but when you do it’s hilarious.”

@LanternAE

Halie Williams Lantern reporter williams.3948@osu.edu After more than 14 years of playing unsigned, Columbus-based band, Red Wanting Blue has finally hit the spotlight, including attention from David Letterman.

The band’s television debut was July 18 on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

The rock ‘n’ roll band is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Friday at Newport Music Hall. Lead vocalist Scott Terry said that to the band, playing at the venue is like coming home.

“I always feel good whenever we get to come home to Columbus and to the Newport,” he said.

“The Newport Music Hall has always felt to me like home and it’s always a lot of fun.”

The band is touring behind its new album, “From The Vanishing Point,” released in January, which is also its first album released under Fanatic Records.

Since signing with the label in 2010, the band has headlined in Norman, Okla. at the Norman Music Festival 5, and is scheduled to perform at Thornville, Ohio’s upcoming All Good Music & Camping Festival in July.

Terry said even though he still wants to remain in control of Red Wanting Blue, signing with Fanatic Records has helped the band’s success.

Regardless, Terry said the band is still doing what it loves.

“I just think that when it comes down to it, if it’s what you really want you have to stay the course,” Terry said. “It’s like what Willie Nelson said, ‘Ultimately the world has got to get around to guys like us, they can’t ignore us forever.’ I’ve taken that very much to heart when I heard that years ago.

They can’t ignore you forever.”

Terry said fans can expect to see a passionate and genuine performance from the band at every show.

“I try to remain as honest as I can and perform our songs with the same passion and energy as was required of me back when the song was originally written, I believe that whether it’s two people in the crowd or 1,000, that this song needs to be delivered, and I’m there to deliver a story and tell that story,” he said.

Some of the band’s fans see this passion.

Courtesy of Fanatic Promotion

Red Wanting Blue is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. May 11 at Newport Music Hall.

Matt Leininger, 27, of Columbus, who is attending the concert Friday, said he became a fan of the band when he saw it play in Bowling Green, Ohio, in 2003.

“Mostly I’m a fan of Scott’s writing. He puts together lyrics that really just make you feel like you’re a part of the song, and the way they all play together as a whole is just an unbelievable thing,” Leininger said.

“I feel that the people that are there to listen, deserve that, they don’t need a half a-- version.”

Hoping people find some joy and self-realization from its music, Terry said the band tells stories of real-life experiences and struggles.

“If you don’t have something to say with your music, then I don’t know what you’re really doing it for,” he said. “And for me, unofficially it became our

mission statement over the years that we can do it, we can do this whether we have help or not, so a lot of our songs and a lot of our struggle feels a lot to me like the modern-day telling of the ‘Little Engine That Could.’”

Ryan Andrews, a third-year in civil engineering, said his roommate got him listening to Red Wanting Blue two years ago and he’s enjoyed its music ever since.

“They’re homegrown and they seem just like regular dudes,” Andrews said.

Terry said his new goal is to make his fans proud and let them know it was worth believing in Red Wanting Blue for so many years.

“It gives a finger to the people that never cared, but more importantly gives a thumbs up to the people that did care,” he said.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

[ a +e ] Columbus’ Own

In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that will profile a new Columbus band every week.

Band inspired by river flows to own tune under self-made record label Zach Holmes Lantern reporter holmes.615@osu.edu Most bands have a fixed response when asked what kind of music they play, but for Columbus-based Matthew Sullivan and the Black River Gypsies, coming up with an answer isn’t so simple.

“You know the thing for Matthew Sullivan and the Black River Gypsies is, in part, we started because we wanted to have a pretty diverse sound,” lead singer and guitarist Matthew Sullivan said. “We want to spend time doing original artwork.”

The band takes pride in incorporating an array of music genres into each of its sets.

“We are all fans of American music,” said drummer Mark Sims, “so when we play, we really try to incorporate traditional blues, folk and country.

We certainly want to be very dynamic if we can help it.”

Like its peculiar sound, the band also got its name from an interesting place.

Sullivan said the band is titled after a river, named Black River, located in upstate New York.

“The river is an archetype of creepiness and weirdness,” Sullivan said, and added he likes to think of the river when writing music.

Sullivan got a late start in the music industry after pursuing a career far-fetched from that of a musician.

After graduating from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, Sullivan started working at his family’s construction business, which he said required him to travel around tearing down and rebuilding houses for months at a time.

“I moved around (building houses) a lot after college and then when I lived in down in Asheville, N.C., I learned that music was something I really wanted to do,” Sullivan said.

He also said finding his passion helped him on the business side in the long run on.

“I didn’t actually play music until my mid-20s. So I think that is maybe

Columbus-based band Matthew Sullivan and the Black River Gypsies is signed under the record label Singing Moon Records, which lead singer and guitarist Matthew Sullivan formed in 2010. one of the reasons I could be more business-like about it,” Sullivan said.

“My friends in North Carolina were musicians, and because I was a grown-up they could be very critical.

No one was worried about fostering my interests. I covered more ground than other people because I sought out this guidance and help.”

Sullivan then moved back to Columbus where he teamed up with Sims, bassist Ryan Combs and guitarist Andy Frederick.

The group eventually sought out record companies to sign with, but after consulting with other artists, Sullivan decided to start his own.

“I had been reaching out to other artists and I would ask them what their label did for them. They all said,

‘Well nothing,’ and I thought, ‘Well I could do that myself,’” Sullivan said.

In 2010 Sullivan started his label named Singing Moon Records and searched for other talented local bands to join him.

“I reached out to a bunch of good Columbus acts that I knew weren’t signed and I said, ‘Hey, why don’t we get together and do this,’” Sullivan said. “At least we knew we would help each other. As far as I knew, that’s more than any other label can give us.”

Singing Moon Records now has 13 signed acts that play throughout Columbus as well as band based in Michigan that is also on the label, Sullivan said. The label features its Columbus acts every second Friday

in a showcase called “Independent Spirits” at Hal & Al’s Tavern, located at 1297 Parsons Ave. Matthew Sullivan and the Black River Gypsies recently finished a demo and is working toward releasing its first studio album. In the meantime, the band plans to continue playing shows in front of Columbus crowds, Combs said.

“It’s really nice (playing in Columbus),” he said. “We have a community of fellow musicians who are very supportive, and we try to maintain a beneficial level of support for the fans and artists that we work with.”

Sabaton is scheduled to perform at 6 p.m. May 12 at Alrosa Villa.

History to highlight Swedish heavy metal band’s Columbus show Amanda Abney Lantern reporter abney.14@osu.edu Sabaton, a heavy metal band from Sweden, broke up in March, but announced its new lineup just three days later, right in time to begin its first North American headline tour.

The group canceled three shows in the United States before opening the tour in San Antonio, Texas April 15.

Swedish Grammy nominated, Sabaton, is scheduled to perform at 6 p.m. Saturday at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Road.

The performance is part of the band’s Swedish Empire Tour, which marks its first headlining tour to stop in Columbus.

“I like North American people,” said vocalist Joakim Brodén. “We have been treated very well so far.”

Sabaton combines history with fast-paced, 1980s-style heavy metal to bring its audience a high-energy lesson on the history of war. The band officially formed at a party in 1999 when Brodén hit it off with some of the band members.

“I came to a rehearsal meeting and it all took off from there,” Brodén said.

Sabaton is known for its war-based lyrics, a style which began in 2006 when it paired huge sound with a huge subject matter: D-Day, Brodén said.

The band was confident with the new lyrical style.

“We knew basic stuff about it, but we did some extra research on it and all of a sudden it clicked,” Brodén said. “That was six or seven years ago, and we are still doing it.”

Thursday May 10, 2012

Brodén equated Sabaton’s heavy metal sound to metal bands that toured in the 1980s, such as Megadeth.

“It’s (an) old-school, hard-rock metal band,” Brodén said.

The band’s new album “Carolus Rex” is scheduled for release May 23.

This album differs from the band’s previous albums because it zeroes in on the Swedish Empire in the 1600s and 1700s and not just military conflict in general.

“This one focuses on King Carolus Rex, and it was a time when the Swedish Empire was the biggest threat to the Holy Roman Empire,” Brodén said.

Brodén said the band’s live show provides “pure adrenaline and good fun” to its audience.

Online critics from “Jam Magazine” evaluated the band’s onstage antics.

“During Accept’s (a band Sabaton toured with) epic ‘Princess of the Dawn’ Sabaton came back onstage wearing ‘princess’ costumes, complete with pink dresses, tiaras, wands and sashes with words like ‘DIVA’ written across them,” said Andy Laudano, a “Jam Magazine” writer. “This was by far the most fun I’ve had at a concert in a long time and well worth the five-hour road trip.”

Brodén said the band’s favorite tour was in 2006, when it toured Europe by a tour bus for the first time.

“It was one of those times where we were playing 20 to 30 shows over five weeks,” Brodén said. “I would say that nothing beats that because at that point, of course, it was all of our dreams come true.”

The band’s new lineup consists of Chris Rörland on lead guitar, Thobbe Englund on guitar and

Robban Bäck on drums along with original band members, singer Brodén and bass player Pär Sundström.

Brodén said he understands some of the original band members decided to leave to attend to their families and other priorities.

“It was sad, but I totally understand why,” Brodén said. “Everybody wants to be a rock star when they are 18, but it’s a little different when people grow up.”

Saturday’s show, which is being thrown by Columbus Events Group LLC, will feature local and international acts.

CEG owner Mary Coffman said the supporting bands are Tension Head from Michigan, Skullbomb, Dark War, Bovicide and Trabue.

Advanced tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. The show welcomes people aged 18 and up.

Hundreds of zombies will hit the streets of Columbus this weekend. But don’t worry, they’re not after your brains.

Christian rock band Family Force 5 is shooting a music video for its new song “Zombie,” Saturday and Sunday in downtown Columbus off West Rich Street, and is giving fans a chance to be a part of it.

With the help from fundraising website kickstarter.com, fans have the opportunity to act as zombies in the music video.

For $25-$50, fans can be in the video as a zombie character. Their costume options include regular zombies, zombie hunters, zombie police, vintage zombies, celebrity zombies, Ohio State fan zombies and gangster zombies, said lead singer, Solomon Olds, better known by his stage name, Soul Glow Activatur.

There are also higher tiers. If a fan pays $100, they can be dancing zombies, and for $200, they can be a VIZ of very important zombie, who will eat dinner with the band before the shoot and receive personal attention from the band concerning makeup and wardrobe, or $1,000 to shadow a Family Force 5 member throughout the day.

Two fans who pledge $2,500 or more can work as executive producers for the video.

Although the deadline to back the project on Kickstarter is Wednesday at midnight, Olds said fans can still show up and offer their monetary support Saturday if they want to be a part of the video.

The music video will have a “Thriller”-esque type feel, but with simpler choreography, Olds said.

“Me and one of my band mates, Nadaddy (Nathan Currin), end up being two cops just checking the scene out and eventually we get taken over by one of our band mates, named Crouton (Jacob Olds), the head zombie, and he ends up having a whole zombie herd and everybody ends up being overtaken in the video,” Olds said. “It ends up, from the bridge on, just being a huge zombie dance party.”

Vocalist Currin, who also plays synthesizer, said he expects the best part of the experience to be giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“To give back to the fans and give them an experience with us, I think is really valuable to a band like ours whose main focus is being interactive and approachable to the kids,” Currin said. “We want to be real to them and we want to let them know that we love them and are super excited to have an amazing zombie weekend with them.”

After the shoot, which is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Saturday and end early Sunday morning, there will be a “Zombie Wrap Celebration Concert,” open to anyone who backed $50 or more.

The concert is scheduled to be held at The Basement, where the band will perform the song “Zombie” for the first time, as well as a new song called “Cray Button.”

“We’re just going to do a quick concert, probably DJ a little, and we’re asking everybody to … get their makeup (back) on and everybody show up as zombies,” Olds said. “It’s going to be amazing, like a little get-together dance party for everyone that was on the shoot.”

Solomon Olds’ brother and bandmate, drummer Jacob Olds said due to the band’s heavy fan base in Columbus, picking the city as the location for its video was a no-brainer.

“Columbus has just shown us so much love over the years, and everybody in Ohio who has ever come out to a show or supports us in Ohio, they’re all crazy and they’re ready to just party all the time,” Jacob Olds said. “Ohioans are good peeps.”

With a goal of $10,000 that was met in the first three days of the project, Solomon Olds said this is something the band will most likely continue to do in other states with future music videos.

“It goes to show you that you don’t need record labels and you don’t need radio power,” Solomon Olds said. “You just need the power of your fans and just the power of fun.”

The project has raised more than $28,000 and has about 400 attendees, as of Wednesday evening.

The music video for “Zombie” is scheduled to premiere June 5.

Fencers slash way to London Olympics Dan Hope Lantern reporter hope.46@osu.edu

Zain Shaito, Mona Shaito and Margarita Tschomakova were all important members of the Ohio State fencing team who won the 2012 NCAA National Championship on March 25. Less than one month later, all three achieved another major feat by qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games.

All three OSU athletes will compete individually in this summer’s Olympics in London.

Mona Shaito, a freshman, qualified by winning in women’s foil at the Asian and Oceanic Olympic Qualifiers in Wakayama, Japan, April 20. One day later, her brother Zain Shaito was victorious in men’s foil to earn his own Olympic berth. Zain Shaito, a sophomore, was also the 2012 NCAA individual champion in men’s foil.

Mona and Zain Shaito were born and raised in the United States, but have dual citizenship and will represent Lebanon, which is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Olympics.

“It’s like a dream come true for my family,” Mona Shaito said. “How many families have two people, especially siblings, making the Olympics together?”

Zain Shaito agreed.

“It meant everything,” he said.

“It meant even more that I qualified with my sister. Our country is proud, our family is really proud. It’s a great feeling.”

Zain Shaito said he thinks their qualification is very significant to the people of Lebanon.

“I think it’s big because everyone will see that now we have something

Shaito finished in 3rd place in the women’s foil. other than politics to talk about in the country of Lebanon,” Zain Shaito said. “This takes a big step towards encouraging the youth to try more sports.”

Zain Shaito said he and Mona plan to make a trip to Lebanon prior to the Olympics.

Yury Molchan, who competed for Russia and won a bronze medal in the men’s team foil competition at the 2004 Olympics, is OSU’s assistant coach. Molchan said he thinks both Shaitos could win medals in London. “(Zain Shaito) can, because nobody knows him,” Molchan said.

“Mona (Shaito) (has) the same chance, because nobody knows Mona.”

Molchan said he will advise the Shaitos that they must control their nerves in Olympic competition.

“That’s very important,” Molchan

said. “Because everybody will be nervous in competition.”

Zain Shaito said he carried momentum from his NCAA National Championship victory into the Olympic qualifiers, and hopes to carry momentum from his qualifying victory to London.

“Any time you win a huge competition … that gives you the momentum to go into the next competition,” Zain Shaito said.

Mona Shaito said she has not set expectations for her Olympic performance.

“I just hope to give the other experienced fencers a good match, and do my best,” Mona Shaito said.

Tschomakova, a senior, was one of four to qualify in women’s sabre at the European Olympic Qualifiers in Bratislava, Slovakia, on April 22.

Tschomakova has dual citizenship in

Germany and Bulgaria, and will represent Bulgaria in the Olympics.

Tschomakova is following in the footsteps of her father, Georgi Tschomakova, who was a three-time Olympic competitor as a Bulgarian fencer.

Margarita Tschomakova said her father advised her to enjoy the moment.

“Qualifying for the Olympics is a dream come true,” Margarita Tschomakova said. “I think a place in the top eight would already be a great accomplishment. An Olympic medal would be another dream come true.”

The 2012 Olympic Games will open in London on July 27. Fencing competition will begin on July 28 and continue through Aug. 5.

OSU a ‘perfect fit’ for versatile Della Valle Fawad Cheema Lantern reporter cheema.21@osu.edu

Ohio State men’s basketball should improve its outside shooting with the signing of Italian international Amedeo Della Valle, a player who says he’s ready for the rigors of the Big Ten. Della Valle, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Alba, Italy, recently signed his letter of intent to play for the Buckeyes next season. Della Valle played high school basketball at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., helping the team to its third ESPN National High School Invitational Championship during his senior year.

Della Valle said his comfort level with OSU’s program and coaching staff helped him make the choice to become a Buckeye.

“I got to meet the coaches, meet the players, take a tour on campus and see all the facilities,” Della Valle said. “I really liked everybody there, so it was great.”

Michael Peck, Findlay Prep’s basketball coach, said Della Valle’s versatility is what made him stand out as a special player in high school.

“He can handle the ball, make plays off the bounce, find open teammates,” Peck said. “Plus, he’s a great 3-point shooter and just has a high IQ with an unbelievable feel for the game.”

Della Valle said he played multiple positions at Findlay Prep, but prefers to play off the ball on the wing because that’s where he feels most comfortable.

Weatherspoon to transfer.

Della Valle also played international basketball

with the Italian national team in the Under-18 European Championships. He led the Italian team in scoring with just more than 15 points a game during the tournament.

Della Valle said playing for the Italian team and Findlay Prep were good experiences that will help him adapt to the level of competition in the Big Ten. “They were good experiences because it helped me develop my game and will have me ready to go on day one,” Della Valle said. “Now, I think I’m really prepared.”

Nick Madray, Della Valle’s high school teammate, said he expects Della Valle to make the same impact for OSU that he made for Findlay Prep.

“I see him shooting the lights out at OSU,” Madray said. “Moving the ball around getting his teammates involved and helping Ohio State win more games.”

Della Valle will start classes and begin workouts June 18, and said he has plenty to work on during the offseason.

“The most important thing I need to work on is my strength and conditioning with the training staff,” Della Valle said. “Adding some weight will be better for me and develop my game more.”

He also received offers from Michigan, Texas A&M, Arizona and Gonzaga before choosing OSU. Della Valle said his decision ultimately came down to the winning history of the program including the team’s recent Final Four appearances.

“I think winning is the first priority for every player,” Della Valle said, who added that he knew OSU was a perfect fit for him during his visit to campus.

$13.7M Schottenstein Center renovations will allow OSU teams ‘flexibility’ Justine Boggs Lantern reporter boggs.1047@osu.edu The Ohio State Athletics Department began a two-part project to renovate the locker rooms and build a new practice gym for the men’s and women’s basketball team near the northwest rotunda at the Schottenstein Center.

Ben Jay, executive associate athletics director told The Lantern the expansion allows for a more versatile student-athlete schedule.

“When the gym is used by events, teams have to go to St. John or even the RPAC,” he said. “This expansion will allow more flexibility for our teams.”

Renovations will begin in May after the athletic department receives bids from construction companies. The project is expected to be completed by September 2013.

“It’s much easier than building a new facility, we need to blow out the space and renovate it,” Jay said.

The project will cost about $13.7 million, 93 percent of which was fundraised.

“A lot of great Buckeyes responded (to the fundraising effort),” Jay said.

Assistant men’s basketball coach Jeff Boals said the bar has been raised for Big Ten facilities and it’s important they are updated.

“We spend so much time in the locker rooms.

It will be a great place to hang out before practice, after practice and between classes,” he said.

A new strength and conditioning area will replace the loading dock located at the west end of the Schottenstein Center. The athletic training room will be extended and enlarged to benefit both basketball teams and men’s ice hockey.

“There’s 24/7 access, getting in on their own to shoot or to work on their game,” Boals said. “To have that access will be huge in the development.”

The main concern is getting the locker rooms completed by summer. During the 2012-2013 basketball season, there will be a temporary strength and conditioning room made somewhere in the Schottenstein Center.

“We will be giving them a new locker room and team area with a different configuration adding team meeting rooms,” he said.

The project planning began more than two years ago and ideas from facilities across the country will be implemented.

“It was time to renovate our locker rooms. You have to remember, the Schott is almost 12 years old,” Jay said.

Men’s and women’s basketball coaches have been in conversation about what they think would be helpful to the programs.

“No. 1, it starts with the administration and

Never in the history of Ohio State has the university had the distinction of having both the men’s and women’s golf teams have a freshman win Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in the same season. Until now.

The Big Ten handed out their annual golf awards May 1, and among them were Kendall Prince and Grant Weaver, winning for women’s and men’s golf, respectively.

Weaver is only the second freshman men’s golfer in OSU history to win the award, the first time going to Chris Smith in 1988. Prince shares the honor with six other Buckeyes, the last being teammate Vicky Villanueva, who won in 2009.

“It’s a pretty big honor,” Prince said.

Making it even more special, she said, was getting the award despite the “up-and-down roller coaster of health issues” she’s had this year.

Prince found out she has an autoimmune disorder affecting her liver that at least once led to her being rushed to the hospital.

But with consultation from her doctors, she was able to recover and again focus on golf.

“She’s a real tough kid, no doubt about it,” said women’s coach Therese Hession. “She’s very driven … so there’s not going to be too much that gets in her way. She’ll come back as quick as possible from all these illnesses and injuries … more than most kids because she’s very committed to making her goals.”

Compounded on top of her autoimmune disorder, she had emergency surgery on her appendix the day before the Big Ten Championship. That came two weeks ago after finishing a career-best third overall in the field in the Lady Buckeye Spring

OSU men’s golfer Grant Weaver takes a swing during the Jack Nicklaus Invitational at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, which took place Oct. 10 and 11. OSU finished 2nd out of 12 teams in the tournament.

Invitational. Due to missing the Big Ten Championship, Hession said it dropped her one-tenth of a point from making first-team All-Big Ten. The appendectomy is also keeping her from playing in the first three rounds of the NCAA Central Regionals taking place Thursday through Saturday in Columbus.

Despite all of the setbacks, Prince still made second-team All-Big Ten along with being named Freshman of the Year.

She was the top finisher on the team three times, tying junior Amy Meier a fourth time. She averaged a 75 (per 18 holes) for the year, was under par four times and shot in the 60’s twice, including a career-best 67. That score came on her second set of 18 holes, where she played a total of 36 holes in one day during the Lady Northern Invitational in French Lick, Ind. She said it’s hard to imagine that at one point, she preferred soccer over golf.

“I was huge into other sports,” Prince said. “I always thought I was going to play soccer (in college) until my sophomore Fit yearAd_5.5x5.pdf (in high school), 1

and I switched my focus (to golf).”

And when she committed to OSU, there was one thing on her mind.

“Once I came in here, I was like, ‘That’s my goal, to be Big Ten Freshman of the Year,” she said.

Although feeling honored for his achievement, Weaver said he didn’t even know the award existed until men’s coach Donnie Darr told him on the day the awards were announced.

“I never really thought about it. It came as a complete surprise,” Weaver said.

That might sound flippant, but it’s quite the opposite for the true freshman from Waynedale High School in Wooster, Ohio.

He said his focus is more about teamwork rather than concentrating on how well he performs individually, attributing his humble attitude to his parents.

“They always told me not to be conceited,” Weaver said.

“Also, I played team golf in high school, so I’ve had the joys of winning as a team and it’s something that I want to continue and experience again. It’s a lot 4/30/12 12:14 PM

more fun when you’re playing as a team.”

Weaver’s humility comes as no surprise to Darr.

“He’s very, very mature for his age (and) controls his emotions very well, which is a huge asset for a college player, because a lot of college guys struggle with that part of their game,” Darr said.

Weaver has helped the men’s team to a 67-49-2 record this year and an appearance in the NCAA regionals May 17-19 in Ann Arbor, Mich. He averaged a score of 75 (per 18 holes) for the season, including a career-best 69 on the first day of the FAU Spring Break Championship on March 23 in Lake Worth, Fla. Despite playing in junior golf tournaments since he was nine years old, Weaver said he never had a full-time instructor, just occasional lessons “here and there.” And he still wouldn’t give himself full credit for what he’s achieved this year.

“I think that if he just continues to do what he has done and continues to work on the fundamental things … then he’s going to have great success,” Darr said.

OSU women’s soccer player raps up talent show stage JUSTINE BOGGS Lantern reporter boggs.1047@osu.edu Whether it’s taking the stage for a rap show or taking the field as her team’s leading scorer, one Ohio State women’s soccer player is almost always ready to perform.

Junior Tiffany Cameron of the OSU women’s soccer team started rapping when she was in eighth grade. The Ontario native started taking her career more seriously when she came to the United States.

“I liked Eminem growing up and I just thought maybe I could do something. I rapped to other people and it gradually got pretty good,” she said.

Cameron performed a high-energy

rap about OSU while teammates danced in the background during the Buckeyes Got Talent event held Tuesday at St. John Arena. The song included shout-outs to sophomore football player Braxton Miller and former OSU basketball player Jared Sullinger.

Sophomore midfielder Danica Wu, said she was proud of her teammate’s performance.

“Tiffany likes to be creative and she freestyles all the time,” Wu said. “It’s a lot of fun with her and she lightens the mood during practice.”

High school friend Ryan Greco traveled from Ontario to cheer Cameron on at the event.

“Since she’s come to Ohio, she found her element and has become a much, much better performer, artist,

lyricist,” he said. “It’s just off the pages compared to what it was even three years ago.”

Cameron said her friends and parents have supported her from Day 1.

“I love to do different stuff so my parents always support me, and they are happy it’s something new,” she said. “My mom is my biggest fan pretty much.”

Cameron’s goals are more than becoming a professional athlete.

“I would love to write lyrics for artists, that’s my main thing,” Cameron said.

Cameron received third place at the event, which raised money for The Boys and Girls Club of Columbus.

“It’s fun and it’s something different, and they are surprised with this extra talent,” Cameron said.

The race for the championship For all intents and purposes, the title fight has been held in the city of Manchester, England, all season long.

Manchester City F.C. has led inner-city rival Manchester United for most of the season, but ended up slipping late. The uneasy play opened the door for United who, however, also ended up losing a costly game against Wigan Athletic on April 11 and drawing, 4-4, with Everton on April 22.

The fate of both teams came down to the Manchester Derby on April 30, a match between the two Manchester clubs which City took, 1-0.

The win tied both teams with 86 points at the top of the league, but Manchester City went in front thanks to an eight-goal differential over Manchester United.

The battle for Champions League qualification The top four teams at the end of the English Premier League season are

granted bids to the UEFA Champions League, a tournament considered by some to be one of the most prestigious club competitions in world soccer.

Entering the season, some predicted Chelsea F.C. and Liverpool F.C. as favorites to win the league. Both teams were considered to end the campaign in the top four in the standings, but this isn’t the case. Chelsea will end their season sixth in the standings, likely leaving them out of an automatic bid for the Champions League, while Liverpool will end their season around the middle of the pack within the 20-team table.

As Chelsea’s season began to go sour, the club terminated its $13.3 million deal with Portuguese mananger André Villas-Boas. Former player Roberto Di Matteo replaced Villas-Boas after just eight months on the job.

There’s still hope for Chelsea, though, as returning champions are granted automatic bids for the Champions League, and Di Matteo has led Chelsea to the Champions League Final against Bayern Munich on May 19. Beating Bayern figures to be Chelsea’s only option for returning to European competition next season.

Arsenal F.C. and Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are holding the third and fourth positions, respectively, after 37 games.

Newcastle F.C. is in fifth position, one point back of Tottenham and could snatch a top-four spot if Tottenham ties or draws on Sunday.

Clint Dempsey sets career goals mark for an American in EPL Clint Dempsey, a striker for Fulham F.C. and the U.S. national team, set the goal record (50) for most goals by an American in the history of the Premier League.

His 50th career goal came against Sunderland F.C. on a free-kick from outside the penalty box.

The seemingly constant improvement over his almost six-year career has led many of the top clubs to eye the American striker. The first club set to make an offer is Arsenal, according to thesun.co.uk.
