thelantern Study: Donors were eager to give Consultant: Union can raise $10 million to $15 million Potential donors were asked in 2004 if they believed the Ohio Union could raise $20 million for the Union. Fifty-six percent of the participants answered “yes”. The consultant, Hodge Cramer & Associates, Inc., recommended a $10 million to $15 million campaign. Below is a graph showing study responses.

Excerpts from the study: responses from potential donors

“If the University and the Board of Trustees get behind it, it will not fail.” “I don’t know with all the other campaigns out there.” “$20 million is a lot of money to raise but I think it can be done.” “Sure we would. $20 million is not that big of a deal but they need to do it now.”

CAITLIN O’NEIL Lantern reporter oneil.97@osu.edu Ohio State ofÿcials say the university and the new Ohio Union have “exceeded expectations” by raising $3.6 million from donors for construction of the $118.8 million project. But in a feasibility study conducted for the Union from June through November 2004, consultants concluded that the Union could raise $10 million to $15 million. The study, done by Hodge Cramer & Associates, Inc., also said that more than half of the people surveyed believed the university and Union could raise $20 million. However, OSU’s Ofÿce of University Development reviewed the study and found it unrealistic, said Tracy Stuck, director of the Ohio Union, in an e-mail. Michelle Cramer, an OSU alumna and president and CEO of what is now Cramer & Associates, said she didn’t know the Union changed its goal after the study was submitted, and that she never got much feedback.

The Olentangy River really isn’t very pleasant. Its tributaries are contaminated with fecal bacteria from local septic systems. That’s what research from Vanessa Burrowes indicated Wednesday at Ohio State’s 15th Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. Burrowes was one of more than 540 students who presented research at the annual event designed to showcase undergraduate students doing research. “There’s so much fabulous research being done, and a lot of times you only know what’s happening in your own department,” said Vicki Pitstick, the Honors Center program manager and a Denman organizer. President E. Gordon Gee echoed her sentiments in the awards ceremony. “You are a collective force of nature, a scarlet and gray army and an important part of one of this nation’s greatest universities,” he said.

Female athletes outperform males in class ASHLEY WALTERMEYER Lantern reporter waltermeyer.3@osu.edu Ohio State’s male athletes might be bigger, stronger and faster than female athletes, but after Winter quarter, the females win in the classroom. Out of seven varsity sports at OSU with both men’s and women’s teams, the women averaged higher cumulative grade point averages in every sport except diving. “That makes me extremely proud to be a female student athlete,” said Ashley Caldwell, a track and ÿeld athlete. “And beyond making me proud, it goes deeper, though, ÿghting those stereotypes that women aren’t as good as men.” For Max Stearns, a 4.0 GPA fencer studying political science, the feeling is mutual.

“I think it’s great,” Stearns said. “Our women’s sports are doing really well, so it just shows that our women’s side of athletics is great at balancing everything and keeping everything in line.” The team whose athletes boasted the highest cumulative GPAs was men’s diving at 3.54, narrowly beating the women’s cross country team, which carried a 3.43. The women’s diving team had the highest GPAs during Winter quarter with a 3.85 average. For football and men’s basketball, OSU’s two largest revenue builders, the GPAs fell just shy of the average, landing at 2.82 and 2.74, respectively. Women weren’t the only ones doing better in the classroom. Athletes who participated in sports that involved distance running, swimming and diving also had higher GPAs. The 983 NCAA participants came out with a 3.04 cumulative GPA when the

BRICE YOST Lantern reporter yost.97@osu.edu Ohio State’s Drackett Tower residents might be hearing more noise than usual while the Sprint Nextel Corporation installs a new cell phone tower on the roof. Construction slated to begin at 9 a.m. Monday has yet to commence because of rainy weather. Once started, the construction is expected to continue until July 31. The tower will be ready for Sprint Nextel users returning in the fall, said Jordan D’Souza, an ofÿce assistant at Drackett Tower. Workers will build a structure to house the antennas and other equipment that transmits signals. Sprint Nextel signed a lease agreement with OSU for $2,500 a month that allows it

to build and maintain the tower, said Scott Conlon, a director of projects at Facilities Design and Construction for OSU’s Facilities Operation and Development. Part of the agreement requires Sprint Nextel to repair and update the tower with its own money, said Bruce Ennen, a real estate coordinator for OSU’s Facilities Operations and Development. The tower, which has been planned for a few years, will boost the cell phone signal for Sprint Nextel users in the north campus area, including Ohio Stadium and the Schottenstein Center, said John Adams, a spokesman for Sprint Nextel. Drackett’s tower will be the third cell tower on campus and was selected because of the building’s height. Other cell towers are on top of Jones and Steeb towers.

campus Spanish class offers cultural immersion close to home RACHEL JACKLIN Lantern reporter jacklin.5@osu.edu As Ohio State students schedule for summer and autumn classes and some begin to contemplate study abroad programs, there’s one option that provides a similar experience without ever having to leave the country. Spanish 689 is an alternative study abroad class that gives those enrolled the effects of an out-ofcountry experience without the high cost. Instructor Diana Ruggiero, a graduate teaching associate in the College of Arts and Humanities, said the class is a way to combine being abroad and being in the community. The students “gain a lot of experience and learn to appreciate it,” Ruggiero said. “They use their Spanish as a skill.” Ruggiero said that part of a Spanish major’s

required curriculum is a study abroad experience. However, as OSU is a state institution, the university can’t make people study abroad. This class is a way to fulÿll that requirement for those who can’t afford or don’t wish to go elsewhere. Spanish 689 is “the biggest complement to DIANA RUGGIERO culture, communication and community,” Ruggiero said, because students immerse themselves in the Spanish language, music, movies and native speakers around them. The class, which is offered in Summer and Winter quarters, focuses on issues that affect Latinos in Ohio, such as immigration, health care, politics and demographics, Ruggiero said.

“Students focus on things they didn’t necessarily care about before,” Ruggiero said. “They’re becoming more aware.” The class combines immersion and volunteer work in the community, which are meant to encourage students to think in a non-traditional way, Ruggiero said. Students can do that through their personal projects, she said, which are tailored to their own interests. Wesley Black, a fourth-year in Spanish, took the class Winter quarter and worked on a project he is still involved with. Black noticed a disconnect between his predominantly Caucasian church and a predominantly Hispanic church about ÿve miles away. He started a worship band that fused the two cultures together and the band is now coming out with a short CD. Black said the greatest part about the class is the

opportunity to continue relationships with the people he met. “For me, it was a cool alternative to a study abroad,” he said. “I could make friends in, say, Argentina, but then I’ll never see them again. Here, I’ll get to know them and really be able to plug in … and stay connected.” Black also said the Hispanic community is one in need, making it even more important to get involved. “Hispanic people are the future of America,” he said. “Population graphs show that they could become the majority, so instead of separating, we need to fuse our cultures together.” Ruggiero said this isn’t a class with a lot of reading and writing, where students “can read novels but not talk to their neighbor.” “There’s not a lot of teaching involved,” Ruggiero said. “We want to develop independent thinkers and workers. It is a lot of fun but can be taken seriously, too. I’m honored to be able to teach it.”

‘ACT for the Army’ to test third-year ROTC cadets’ skills SAMANTHA HECKATHORN Lantern reporter heckathorn.12@osu.edu Forty-one cadets from Ohio State’s Army ROTC program will be strapping on more than 60 pounds of equipment and sporting M-16 ri° es as they occupy the wooded landscape of Camp Atterbury in Indiana. The third-year cadets will be participating in a Joint Field Training Exercise from today until Sunday along with cadets from the University of Cincinnati and Ohio University. “We’re not training them to go to war, we’re training them in basic skills to help them throughout their career,” said Cadet 2nd Lt. Leslie McBride. “These are skills we all need to be ofÿcers in the U.S. Army.” But the security and intelligence major said the short-term goal of the training exercise is to prepare

the cadets for the Leader Development and Assessment Course that occurs between their third and fourth years. The one-month course takes place at a camp in Ft. Lewis, Wash. It evaluates leadership abilities and determines what job a cadet could get in the Army after graduation. During this weekend’s training exercise, cadets will spend much of their time doing land navigation exercises, McBride said. This consists of plotting grid coordinates with a protractor, then going into the woods and calculating what distance and direction the points are at. To pass the exercise, cadets must receive ÿve out of eight points during the daytime exercise and three out of ÿve points for the night exercise. Friday will consist of individual weapons qualiÿcation. To get more familiar with the M-16s, cadets will be given 40 rounds of ammunition and must shoot at 40 targets placed 300 meters away from them, McBride said.

A score of 23 out of 40 is required to pass the qualiÿ cation. McBride said the third-years have been preparing for the training exercise all year by learning to write orders and conducting patrols on West Campus. Cadet Clay Yates, a third-year in Mandarin Chinese, compared the training exercise and leader course to an ACT standardized test for the Army because it “evaluates all cadets on the same level.” Because McBride is a fourth-year, she participated in the training exercise in 2009, the ÿrst year the group went to Camp Atterbury. “It was a boost of conÿdence before having to go to LDAC (Leader Development and Assessment Course) in the summer,” McBride said. “You’re put in groups of people you’ve never met before, and every school’s techniques are a little bit different. But you adjust to complete your task.” Cadet Todd Dawson was a member of OSU’s Air Force ROTC program before switching to Army

ROTC. He switched because he “likes to get down and dirty,” something he didn’t experience much of with the Air Force program. “I’m nervous because we get graded on a lot. But I’m excited to gain the knowledge of what it’s like to be a soldier in the ÿeld and gain leadership experience,” said Dawson, a history major focusing on American military history. McBride said she is ready to see the cadets demonstrate the knowledge they have learned throughout the year and for OSU to be represented with a good program. “You’re on your own more than having anyone in the cadre yelling at you,” McBride said. “It all comes down to personal discipline. You’re expected to be a leader because you’re going to be leading the U.S. Army as soon as you graduate.”

Luncheon recognizes OSU faculty, staff veterans for Armed Forces Day JESSICA OSTRAU Lantern reporter ostrau.1@osu.edu The Ofÿce of Human Resources is holding a luncheon today at the Faculty Club for Ohio State faculty and staff veterans in celebration of Armed Forces Day.

The luncheon allows the veteran community, which is spread throughout campus, to come together, said Michael Forrest, the program director of Afÿrmative Action and Veteran Affairs. “Students are welcome to come, but we are recognizing the faculty who served their country,” he said. However, on Armed Forces Day, six students will be recognized along with the faculty and staff at the

luncheon, and given a $500 scholarship as recipients of the Arnold Sukrow Award, Forrest said. The scholarship money comes from the Campus Campaign, a fundraising initiative driven by faculty donations that beneÿt the students and departmental needs, Forrest said. In addition to the awards and opportunity to reconnect with fellow veterans, the luncheon gives Forrest the opportunity to update the community on

what has been happening throughout the past year and what is yet to come. The timing of Armed Forces Day, which was established in the late 1940s by President Truman, is perfect to wrap up the school year because there is little happening during the summer on campus, Forrest said. There will be 80 veterans present at tomorrow’s luncheon, which has been held on Armed Forces Day since the mid-1990s.

The Ohio State Board of Trustees will be asked to approve the purchase of a South Campus alley that will be used conjointly with a new university dormitory at today’s meeting. The alley runs east and west on OSU’s campus and is located directly south of the 11th Avenue parking garage. Ohio State wants to purchase the alley from the city of Columbus so it can be used as a passageway to the new William H. Hall Student Residential Complex, a new OSU student housing project that will be located between 10th and 11th avenues. Construction for the new complex is slated to start in December, said Ruth Miller, senior project manager for OSU’s Facilities Operations and Development. “The purchase gives the university exclusive use of this land,” Miller said. “This complements the student housing project by providing space for pedestrian paths and attractive landscaping.” The university wants the alley to be used for pedestrian and vehicle access to the new dorm. The

The city agreed to vacate the alley and sell the property to the university on the condition that OSU keeps the utility pipes in the alley. Not only will OSU keep the utilities, they will add more. If the Board of Trustees approves the purchase, the state Controlling Board and the Columbus City Council will still need to give their approval. The city of Columbus offered the 25-foot wide, 411-footlong property to OSU for $56,750. OSU recently had the property appraised to make sure the purchase made sense economically and the appraisal approved the selling price. The alley is located directly next to many other properties owned by the university, such as the

Students likely to pay 75 percent of Union cost by 2030 She said that Union ofÿcials were “very, very happy” with the study. Cramer & Associates has conducted other studies for OSU, including one for Evans Scholars, since the Union study. The company also just completed a major campaign feasibility study for Franklin Park Conservatory. Cramer & Associates was paid $23,800 for the Union study. Cramer pointed out that the study stressed that for the ambitious campaign to work, the Union would ÿrst have to get commitments from ÿve to seven big donors. “Those must not have come in very high,” Cramer said. Cramer’s report also made a second key recommendation that the Union appoint someone to be dedicated just to development for the Union. In 2007 the Union appointed Heather McGinnis as its development ofÿ cer. Stuck said the Union had never before been part of a formal fundraising campaign and therefore did not have a strong donor base. OSU also had begun a signiÿcant campaign to raise money for the Thompson Library renovation. To pay for the development ofÿcer as well as additional fundraising for the Union, OSU alumna and former Trustee Tami Longaberger and the Longaberger Foundation gave a large gift to the Union for programming. With this gift, Stuck said the Union set a new, lower goal of $6 million. She said when you combine the Longaberger $3.47 million with the $3.6 million raised for construction, the Union now has raised $7.07 million. Nonetheless, the $3.6 million dedicated to the construction accounts for only 3 percent of the

required to spend time at study tables Athletic Department released the grades after Winter quarter. Over the past few years, OSU has moved up in GPA rankings. The university ranks as the 18th highest public institution in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report annual rankings. “The fact that our rankings institutionally are going up in every category, we want to rise with that,” said Gene Smith, OSU athletic director. “We want to make sure our student athletes can meet that challenge and we want to contribute to the continued growth of our programs.” OSU holds potential athletes to the same standard as it would any student who doesn’t play a sport, said David Graham, director of the Student Athlete Support Services Ofÿce. “When you look at that 3.0 GPA, and you look at the student body GPA, they’re right there at the same place,” Graham said. “It’s really the university that’s attracting these kinds of students. President Gee is promoting ‘One University.’ I believe in that, and I believe that from our swim coach to our women’s ice hockey coach, they understand that One University concept.” Each year, Student Athletic Support Services makes an effort to make sure student athletes are prepared for life after graduation, Smith said. “Our number one goal is to help our kids graduate with a degree and get that GPA as high as they can,” he said. “We spend a lot of dollars on it, about $2.2 million in academic support for our athletes. It’s out highest priority.” A common misconception is that college athletes are admitted to schools regardless of their grades, but Graham said OSU might overlook recruits if they don’t meet the university’s academic standards. “If you really want to play on our women’s basketball team and you were one of the best athletes in the state, but for some reason you didn’t academically ÿt, we have to be adult enough to say, ‘This is not the place for you,’” Graham said. As freshmen, athletes spend hours each day at study tables to keep their grades up while balancing practices, games and other commitments. “Because you’re a ÿrst-year student, you’ll have mandatory study table, so you get it,” Graham said. “Then after we see that ÿrst quarter, we can tell how they’ll balance the classroom, the competition and the community. As a ÿrst-year student, you need that structured environment. After that, it’s based on you.” Last year, 23 teams achieved a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA, which is something many coaches take seriously. “All our coaches here understand our No. 1 goal of academic excellence,” Smith said. “When you come to Ohio State, your parents are entrusting you to us, and we promise them that you will be a good student. Parents want to know the team GPAs, the graduation rate. Ethically, morally, personally it’s the right thing to do. Professionally it’s the right thing to do. We’re blessed that our coaches get that.” OSU will host its 43rd annual Scholar-Athlete Dinner on Wednesday, where more than 500 athletes will be honored for having at least a 3.0 GPA. The teams come into the event competing to beat each other’s GPAs, Smith said. “I think there is an attitude with the teams, that they know they need to be as competitive on the ÿeld as they are in the classroom,” Smith said. “Every year there have been more athletes performing to a higher academic standard. I really think we will continue to get even better.”

total cost. Starting in the fall, most students will begin paying $51 per quarter to pay for the Union construction. By 2030, students probably will pay for 75 percent of the cost. Stuck said the Union’s fundraising is continuing, and additional dollars raised will lower student fees. “I would guarantee you they’ll get to $10 million,” Cramer said. “They’ll probably need another year. Knowing them (Stuck and McGinnis), they’ll be successful.” John Meyer of OSU’s Ofÿce of University Development and Stuck initially approached Cramer to do the study. The consultants surveyed Union staff members, students, alumni and development staff. The study found that eight people said they would donate a total of $793,000. Another that 19 said they would give but would not disclose the exact amount. However, the consultants estimated those donors would give between $4,250,000 to $10,250,000. Comments from potential donors included: “Sure we would. $20 million is not that big of a deal, but they need to do it now.” Another comment said, “The development department has proven time and time again that it can reach and exceed its goals; just look at ‘Afÿrm Thy Friendship.’” Nonetheless, Stuck said the study “was presented in late 2004, well before the major economic downturn in 2007, which has had a signiÿcantly negative effect on development initiatives nationwide.” Although the donations are small compared to the amount students will pay for the Union, President E. Gordon Gee said he is pleased with how much the Union has raised from donors. During his April Lantern visit, Gee said he wasn’t sure what the fundraising goal was, but he knew that Union ofÿcials “have exceeded that goal, and I know that they have done very well, so I’m pleased about that.”

“I used to lose calls a lot,” said Corey McCartney, a fourth-year in engineering. McCartney has used the same Sprint phone for four years. When he came to OSU, he had trouble with service. But it has gotten better, he said. Drackett residents do not have to worry about the construction affecting their sleep, said Cullen Jackson, residence hall director for Drackett Tower, in an e-mail. No signiÿcant work or anything loud will be done before 9 a.m. on weekdays.

Softball seniors ready for final regular season series evan cl Osky Lantern reporter closky.2@osu.edu With a month until graduation, senioritis will not cripple the six seniors on the Ohio State softball team. While many students in the class of 2010 are enjoying their final days relaxing on the Oval, the six athletes are working ferociously to deliver a strong finish to their final season. The senior class includes two-time captains Sam Marder, Whitney Cooper and Courtney Pruner, along with other starters Rebecca Schultz, Leah Ledford and Megan Miller. This class has won 155 games in its four years, which ranks third in program history. Rebecca

2010 acc/Big t en challenge The schedule for the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge was released Wednesday. Ohio State will travel to Florida State, one year after the Buckeyes beat the Seminoles in Columbus. The Big Ten won the Challenge for the first time in the event’s history last year.

Schultz attributes this success to everyone’s diversity of skills. “Not one of us is the same skill-wise at all,” the first baseman said. “It makes for a really interesting combination of people and I think it has made our team stronger. It has been very beneficial for everybody because everyone plays a completely different role on our team.” The seniors have made their presence felt all year long. “I think the fact that there are so many of them and that they are all contributing speaks for itself,” coach Linda Kalafatis said. “They are all starters. So that is something you do not always see or happen to find very often.” The players have used their skills to produce

LeBron James might be 48 minutes from free agency. Technically, he’ll have to officially reject the player option on his contract, but that’s been a forgone conclusion since he signed his current contract three years ago. But one loss, in Game 6 in front of what will surely be a raucous crowd at the Boston Garden, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will no longer have a leash on the league MVP. That statement alone sparks an adrenaline rush in Cavs fans, shivers creeping down their backs. Unfortunately for them, it hasn’t had the same effect on their beloved team and superstar. Urgency. It’s a word that applies to all facets of life, whether it’s taking an ill relative to the emergency room, cramming the night before an exam or playing with fire in a game that could swing a postseason series in one team’s favor and also send the best player in the NBA bolting the city for another market. The Cavs played with as much passion and tenacity in Game 5 as the elderly do on bingo night. That lack of fire starts with one person who needs to set the Garden ablaze in Game 6: LeBron. It’s LeBron’s Cleveland clock ticking toward zero. No one is more aware of the chance that he won’t be sporting wine and gold two months from now. But forecasting July’s events should wait until after the postseason. LeBron might never have a supporting cast as talented as the one that serves him now. Sure, Mike Brown makes unjustifiable substitutions, can’t decide on a rotation and has been severely outcoached by Doc Rivers. But The King’s drama-queen persona has placed LeBron on a pedestal, high above his coach on the Cavs’ totem pole. It’s LeBron’s team. He, not the coach, is the leader. If the Cavs can’t stop the bleeding tonight, Brown will probably lose his job. But make no mistake about it — owner Dan Gilbert, GM Danny Ferry and just about every Cleveland fan will throw themselves at King James between then and July 1. The Celtics have earned recognition as the gritty, veteran group that “knows how to win.” But the Cavs play a number of seasoned veterans as well. Shaquille O’Neal has more rings (four) than the Celtics’ vaunted “Big Three” of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce has combined (three). LeBron, Brown and several other Cavs reached the NBA Finals a mere three years ago. However, it’s the mindsets of the two teams that has one side exceeding expectations and the other on the brink of a city-wide

Only coach in OSU women’s lacrosse history resigns kristen levenick Lantern reporter levenick.1@osu.edu Sue Stimmel, the only women’s lacrosse coach in Ohio State history, announced her resignation Wednesday. In her 15 seasons at OSU, Stimmel accumulated a 122-111 record, and an overall career record of 198-130 with her six seasons coaching at Denison University. She led the Buckeyes to NCAA Tournament appearances in the 2002 and 2003 seasons, as well as an ALC Championship in 2003. “She will be sorely missed,” OSU athletic director Gene Smith said in a press release. “We appreciate the great work she

has done to start and establish our women’s lacrosse program. She is truly an outstanding person, and we thank her for all she gave the student-athletes and Buckeye Nation.” Senior captain Rachael Cornicello said Stimmel’s decision came as a shock to the team. “She hadn’t said anything during the season about it so that’s why we were a little surprised,” she said. “But we’re trying to see good in it and we still love her as our coach.” Cornicello said her teammates are keeping their heads high and hoping that the program will change for the better. “The sport in general has changed so much even in

sports Buckeyes head to Michigan for NCAAs tra vis k Ozek Lantern reporter kozek.2@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s tennis team travels to Ann Arbor, Mich., on Friday to take on DePaul University after receiving its third-straight NCAA Tournament bid. Posting a 19-9 record on the year, the No. 34 Buckeyes were rewarded for their season by receiving one of the tournament’s 33 at-large bids on Tuesday. Coach Chuck Merzbacher was pleased with his team’s season and said the selection didn’t come as a surprise. “We had one of the toughest schedules that we have ever had,” Merzbacher said. “We had 19 wins and I think we were rewarded for playing that tough schedule.” Coming off a strong performance in the Big East tournament, which ended with a loss in the finals, the No. 30 DePaul Blue Demons will be making their first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. Despite DePaul’s lack of tournament experience, unanimous All-Big Ten selection Kirsten Flower said the two teams are equally matched. “I think we match up very well. Obviously they are a great team, but so are we,” Flower said. “We had a good showing at the Big Ten tournament and I think this is just a great opportunity for us.” OSU and DePaul will hit the courts at the University of Michigan on Friday for the chance to advance to a second-round match with either Michigan or Illinois-Chicago on Saturday. Although OSU is happy with its berth in the tournament, Merzbacher maintains that the goal of his program is to advance.

Osu ’s kirsten Flower backhands the ball across the net. Flower said the Buckeyes have the talent to advance in the nc aa s. Flower reiterated her coach’s sentiment and said she believes that this team has what it takes to do just that. “We have really good depth all up and down the line,” Flower said. “We can play, so if everyone shows up, we have a great chance of doing well and our goal is set for Georgia.” If the Buckeyes are able to

advance past this weekend, the team would travel to Georgia for the Sweet 16. However, both Merzbacher and Flower insist they must take it one match at a time. “We have to focus on the first match because it is really the only one that matters,” Flower said. “It’s a one-and-done tournament — you lose

and you’re out, so you have to focus on the first match.” Nearly two weeks removed from its last match, Flower still has great confidence in her team. “We’re tired of practicing,” she said. “We all want to play and I think we’re ready.”

Constanza wins over teammates, sets sights on call-up j Ohn duran Lantern reporter duran.30@osu.edu For many in the Dominican Republic, baseball is a way of life. It is their ticket out of poverty, or a way to pass the time. For Jose Constanza, baseball has been all of that since he started playing at 7 years old. Constanza finds himself one step away from realizing his and every child’s dream from the Dominican Republic — making it to the big leagues. Constanza, 26, an outfielder for the Columbus Clippers, is having one of his most productive seasons since signing with the Cleveland Indians organization in 2003. Standing 5-feet-9-inches and weighing 150 pounds, the Santo Domingo native is making his presence felt in a productive manner for the Clippers. “You need to realize what kind of player you are. I know myself,” Constanza said. “I’m not the type of ballplayer that is going to give you 20 home runs a year. Not even 10. Maybe I can give you one or two. I have good speed. I try to use my legs. That’s how I have good numbers right now.” Life has not always been this easy for Constanza. He grew up in poverty. His first job, at 9 years old, was cleaning shoes, just to have money for school. “That was my life, always helping my family,” Constanza said. “My dad always working whenever he could. When I was 14, 15 years old, I began working construction to continue making money.” When Constanza was not in school or working, he spent his time playing baseball.

“I was always playing,” Constanza said. “It was fun to play. I would watch games on TV and I said I wanted to play like that on television.” His favorite player growing up was Luis Polonia, a Dominican-born player who spent 12 seasons in the majors. “He was small like me and j Ose c Onst anza I knew I wasn’t going to grow much,” Constanza said. “Luis Polonia has always been my idol.” “Complete happiness” is how Constanza describes the day the Indians organization signed him back in June 2003. With his dad with him at the tryouts, Constanza remembers the support and joy he received from family and friends when he got home. Signing was the first step. In the years to follow, Constanza progressed quickly, only to be halted by injury. In 2005 he injured his finger and in 2007 he hurt his shoulder. Each injury sidelined him for half a season, slowing down his progress through the farm system. “It takes chances away from you,” Constanza said. “You find yourself uncomfortable. You don’t know what to do because you want to play but can’t.” Now healthy and comfortable with where he is, Constanza is tied for the team lead in batting average (.338) and is garnering great reviews from his team. “He’s a speedy outfielder and good defender,” manager Mike Sarbaugh said. “He’s really fun to watch.”

Those who spend time with him outside of baseball appreciate Constanza just as much off the field as they do on it. “We’re like brothers,” said fellow teammate and roommate Carlos Santana, who first met Constanza while playing AA ball in Akron in 2008. “As a player, he’s tremendous,” Santana said. “Tremendous baseball player, tremendous human being. He knows how to play ball. For me he’s a great teammate.” Friend of six years and teammate Alex Rodriguez expresses the same opinion as Santana. “He’s a special man. There aren’t many like him who are always happy,” Rodriguez said. “People like to be around him because he makes them laugh. If you need advice he’ll give it to you. If you need help, he’ll help you. He’s a tremendous person.” Constanza is on the verge of being one of those players he used to watch on television growing up. “I’m one little step away, so we’ll see what happens,” Constanza said. “All I can do is try my best so it can happen.” As for what he expects if and when he gets the call? “I don’t really know, but I know I’ll be a little nervous,” Constanza said. “I’m going to be very enthusiastic and excited to be there. That’s why I’m here because I want to be there. And that’s my dream to be in the big leagues.” His family is still behind him and proud of what he has done. “My family is supportive, encouraging,” Constanza said. “They tell me to keep going. And that no one knows what can happen so keep working hard everyday.”

Seniors from 4A

Ohio State faces Northwestern in Evanston, Ill., in final series of regular season many memorable experiences in their four-year career. Most of the seniors talked about their 2007 Big Ten championship, a trip to the NCAA Super Regional in 2009 and beating No. 2 Michigan at home in April. “All of us were on board right from the beginning about what we wanted to do when we came to the school, and how we wanted to leave,” said Sam Marder, an All-American catcher. “I hope this senior class is remembered for how much it persevered and pushed others to be better.” Marder has shattered many OSU records. She has hit 59 home runs, surpassing Kristine Himes with 41, and has 186 RBIs, trumping Stacy Roth with 166. In addition, Marder has amassed 221 walks, surpassing the previous record holder by 103. “Hopefully, the person who held the record at one point in time is not forgotten, and I think what’s important about a record is not what the record is, but who represents it,” Marder said. “It’s

Armageddon, the largest, most catastrophic meltdown since Chernobyl. The Celtics have summoned the swagger that pushed them to a championship 23 months ago. The Cavs strolled the floor at The Q Tuesday night boasting an undeserved sense of entitlement, as if even a subpar effort would do the job. Does LeBron care more about marketing his services to the most attractive suitor in two months than he does about winning postseason games that aid in defining his basketball legacy? His passive, uninspired play in Game 5 favors the former. LeBron’s actions and mannerisms rub off on his teammates more than any player in the league. His teammates take part in his intricate handshake routines, they join him in dancing away the fourth quarters of blowouts and they model their on-court resolve after their fearless leader. The ineffectiveness and timidness displayed by Mo Williams, Delonte West, Antawn Jamison and others are as much a reflection on LeBron as they are on the individuals themselves. If LeBron was a movie director, then Game 5 was his “Blair Witch Project” (although for Clevelanders, it was actually scary). After a scoreless first half, LeBron continued his submissive approach after intermission. His first basket — a soft dunk off of a cherry-picked fast break midway through the third quarter — epitomized his lackluster effort. And LeBron’s post-game demeanor didn’t exactly offer any hope to Cavs fans searching for a killer instinct somewhere within his 6-foot8-inch, 260-pound frame. “I spoil a lot of people with my play,” he said. “When you have three bad games in seven years, it’s easy to point them out.” In other words, “Cleveland, appreciate what I’ve brought you, not what I haven’t brought you.” As the adage goes, “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” But Clevelanders don’t have to wait until LeBron departs to know what they don’t have — a championship team that actually lives up to haughty expectations. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to be out there and be the best player on the court, and when I’m not I feel bad for myself because I’m not going out there and doing the things I can do,” he said. “But I don’t hang my head low or make any excuses about anything that may be going on, because that’s not the type of player or person I am.” Not exactly the fired-up, PO’ed attitude we expect elite talents to convey after monumental defeats. This loss didn’t officially end the series, but LeBron’s actions and words suggest that the end of an era might be just around the corner. Entering Game 5, the general consensus indicated that LeBron would likely stay in Cleveland, where he starred on a perennial championship-caliber team with a spendhappy owner. After one landscape-altering performance, that conjecture has taken a 180. That dramatic switch is all on LeBron. And maybe that’s the way he prefers it. But if Michael Jordan had trailed at halftime of a must-win game on his home court, he would have taken it upon himself to motivate his troops and embrace his role as pilot. Instead, LeBron is driving the Cavs’ plane into the ground. There’s still a small amount of time to re-route it onto its expected path. The city of Cleveland anticipates a crash landing. But if the plane goes down, LeBron, the pilot, could be the lone survivor.

not the record that means a lot to me, but hopefully how people remember me by as a player.” Pruner has also had a successful career. She ranks third in OSU history in home runs and RBIs with 36 and 153 respectively. She needs to hit five home runs and 13 RBIs to jump into second place in both categories. Softball has been a big influence in Pruner’s life, but she plans to embrace one simple pleasure with her remaining few weeks. “I’m going to enjoy the feeling of being a regular student,” she said. With senior day approaching on Saturday at 3:05 p.m., there is a lot of excitement, expectations and emotions. “It’s almost surreal,” pitcher Megan Miller said. “I remember being a freshman and this day being so far away, and now it’s finally here. It’s going to be filled with lots of tears.” Marder, Miller, Schultz and Cooper said they are looking forward to playing in front of their families, who are flying in from California. “I’m looking forward to playing in front of my sister, since it’s her first time here, and enjoying my last couple of games at Buckeye Field with my teammates,” Cooper said. Schultz said, “I know there is going

to be high energy from a large portion of the team, so hopefully we can grab a win. It’s one of my last times to put it all out on the field.” The Buckeyes are focused to play Northwestern this weekend and will not take them lightly. “We embarrassed them last year on their senior day so I’m sure they’re looking for revenge,” Pruner said. The Buckeyes beat Northwestern 10-1 in five innings last season. With only a few games remaining, the seniors are ready to enjoy one more memory together. “I’m leaving with so many new sisters than when I started,” Marder said. With many of the players going their own way after graduation, Cooper and Marder are already prepared to give back to the program. Both players will be working with the team as student coaches next year. Although Saturday will surely be memorable for this cohesive group, Miller does not think the memories will stop there. “We’re going to Oklahoma, just watch.” Oklahoma City is the site for the 2010 National Championship.

sports Board of Trustees to discuss athletic compliance, boosters Ohio State hoping to avoid infractions that fellow Big Ten schools Indiana, Michigan are currently facing nick Otte Lantern reporter otte.28@osu.edu The Board of Trustees will meet today to discuss Ohio State’s Athletic Compliance Office. Though the board will delve into a number of different compliance concerns, an evaluation of OSU Boosters will lead the discussion. “Boosters and booster groups are consistently an area of primary concern amongst compliance

officers across the country, and Ohio State shares these concerns,” according to a university report. The report cites both the size and abundance of booster groups as reasons for potential risk. Because these groups operate on their own and use only their own resources, policing them can be difficult, according to the university. The compliance department, which concerns itself with the enforcement, monitoring, procedures and education of NCAA and Big Ten rules, listed several consequences that would stem from potential noncompliance. Not the least of which was the

possibility of a diminished university reputation that the board said would affect “all aspects of campus life” and “would significantly affect philanthropic giving.” To combat the difficulty of enforcing rules among the widespread booster groups and to avoid potential sanctions, the compliance office is considering models used by other universities with similar concerns. These schools, according to the report, “elected to consolidate their booster groups within the athletic department” to increase the ease of

communication between the university and its boosters. The report made mention of two Big Ten institutions, Indiana University and the University of Michigan, which have recently been under NCAA scrutiny for major compliance infractions. Following the infractions “at both institutions, significant financial resources were spent as defended their name and reputation,” according to the report. Following today’s discussions, the compliance office will offer its suggestions to the director of athletics as it deems appropriate.

sue stimmel the past five years, so maybe someone who could bring new ideas to the program would be good,” she said. Though the team is looking to the future, Stimmel will assuredly be missed. “Sue happens to be a very funny person,” Cornicello said. “So her humor will be something that we’ll miss along with her dedication to the team. This has really been her life for the past 15 years. Her dedication to the sport reflects in how we play.” Stimmel attributed her decision to leave to her desire to move on and pursue other professional opportunities. “I want to thank The Ohio State University and the athletics department for the past 15 years,” Stimmel said in a press release. “Building the program has been a truly amazing experience, one that gave me the opportunity to work with wonderful student-athletes and exceptional people. I believe the time has come for me to move on to new challenges and to explore other opportunities.” What these opportunities might be is thus far unclear. “I really don’t know what her plans are,” Cornicello said. “I can definitely see her coaching somewhere in future. She’s so dedicated to the sport and it’s something that makes her happy.”

‘3D Dot Game Heroes’

On Sunday, Lifestyle Communities Pavilion will play host to one of the world’s most famous (or at least infamous) groups: The Insane Clown Posse. Over the course of nearly 20 years, ICP has been putting out some of the most profane, violent and outright bizarre music in the industry. Naturally, their product has been either loved or hated depending on the listener, with rarely an in-between. Accordingly, the group has accumulated one of the most loyal fan bases in music, along with twice as many who loathe them. ICP member Joseph “Shaggy 2 Dope” Utsler spoke with The Lantern this week and said that if anything, the spurn heaped upon the group spurs them on. “Our whole career we been hated on. But look at record sales. We must be doing something right,” he said. “We thrive on hate. If you took a star like Drake and put him in these conditions, he’d crumble.” Utsler also pointed out that although the group’s content has made it notorious among Parent Teacher Association and church groups, with a little digging, a listener could find some wholesome attitudes. “We’re against all that’s f----- up in the world: racism, rape, child abuse,” he said as he listed issues the group has spoken out against in its music. “We don’t try to put it in your face, but if you wanna find it, it’s there.” Utsler said that when the group began, it didn’t have the goal to be ultra-profane. The band members were just products of their environment. He said that when he and Joseph “Violent J” Bruce heard some of the new “hardcore” rap coming from the West, the doors just opened. “We weren’t from the best part of town,” Utsler said. “When we first heard N.W.A. and Geto Boys on the radio, we were like ‘You can say this s--- on the radio?’” The group they founded, which originally had four

While some children — and adults — dream about performing in the circus, 20-year-old Ivan Vargas is actually doing it. Being a clown is more than just a hobby for Vargas, it’s all in the family. He is a sixth-generation circus performer on his father’s side, and fifth-generation on his mother’s. Born in Madison, Wis., Vargas said he knows nothing of his hometown. He said that two days after he was born, his family was back to traveling with the show. At a young age, Vargas’ parents, Alejandro and Lolis, gave him an option. He had to choose between staying in Florida and living the traditional life or traveling and performing in the circus. “I want to be in the circus. I was born to do this,” Vargas told his parents. At the time Vargas’ parents were working with Ringling Bros., Vargas enrolled in the Ringling Bros. school and began taking classes with children from all over the world. Vargas said if you didn’t attend school, you couldn’t perform. He learned the basic subjects such as math, science and history. But Vargas said there is one

difference between the traditional education and the one he received. “My (physical education) class was performing for thousands of people,” he said. “All those places you get to read about, I get to travel to those places.” Vargas has traveled all over the world to places such as England, Brazil, China and France. However, he said his favorite place to perform is the historical Madison Square Garden in New York City. For 11 years, Vargas has been working as an acrobat. He has performed on the trapeze and done handstands on elephants. He has worked with horses and dogs. In the past two years, Vargas has been working as a clown, and he said he feels he is getting good at it. Vargas said clowns are an essential part of the circus because they break barriers between the audience and the performers. Vargas’ mother said he has grown “tremendously” since his first performance. Vargas said he was very nervous the first time he performed, but when the lights hit him and he heard the audience it felt amazing. Vargas’ mother said she understands what it feels like for him to perform because she has had the same feelings. “That’s all he ever knew. That’s all he ever

Rapper Poitier Pockets and rock bands The Kraze, The Bug Chasers and headliner Fever Fever will face off to help raise money for a good cause. Romophos, a sophomore class honorary at Ohio

State, holds Battle of the Bands each year to raise money for a charitable organization. Laura MacInnis, a member of Romophos, said some years have been more successful than others, but she would guess that some years, Battle of the Bands has raised up to $2,000 for the selected organization. This year, the money will go to Adopt-a-School, a program in which OSU students tutor and mentor underprivileged kids at Columbus middle schools. The night will feature performances by each of the four acts along with a raffle and refreshments. The winner receives an iPod Nano.

MacInnis said the organization made a few changes this year. It decided to feature a rapper to add more variety to the musical acts. She said she hopes the addition will attract more people to the event. “We added a rapper, so there’s kind of a variety,” MacInnis said. “I hope this brings in more people with different musical taste to the event.” The bands were selected through an audition process in which they had to perform in front of a group of Romophos students, MacInnis said. Up-and-coming rapper Poitier Pockets performs

btw Lantern CD Reviews Everest still climbing to top “On Approach” Everest

RYAN BOOK Arts Editor book.15@osu.edu Los Angeles rock band Everest might not be the most chipper group of musicians, but its effort on the new album “On Approach” is far from depressing. The album sounds like much more of a complete idea than the band’s 2007 debut, “Ghost Notes.” Songwriter and vocalist Russell Pollard‘s approach is a bittersweet one. The lyrics are sad, but Pollard’s voice combines a poignant longing with just a hint of hopeful optimism so things don’t become overly dismal. Pollard sounds remarkably like folk artist Langhorne Slim, a tone which, coupled with the band’s mellow instrumental style, lends a folk sensation to the music. The guitar playing of Jason Soda and Joel Graves is primarily not acoustic, but instead a rather subdued electric method featuring mild distortion on tracks like “I’ve Had This Feeling Before.” On tracks like “Dots,” light piano playing and violin add to the effect. The only downside is that

things start to run together. After listening to the ÿrst six tracks, the next ÿve just don’t stand out quite as well. Although bands tend to strategically place songs on an album based on what they perceive to be interesting to the listener, one would hope for more interesting fare at the tail end of the record. That being said, “On Approach” is a noticeable improvement over the group’s previous release and perhaps the third will continue the trend.

Give us your opinions at thelantern.com!

The National modestly weird RYAN BOOK Arts Editor book.15@osu.edu Cincinnati native indie-rock group The National walks a ÿne line between tragedy and comedy on its new album “High Violet.” For the most part, the band dabbles in lyrical content that is glum, which is no surprise considering its repertoire to date. But the mellow mood suits vocalist Matt Berninger’s baritone style just ÿne. Album openers “Terrible Love” and “Runaway” approach the gloomy content with just enough lift to keep the listener from falling into a funk. On the other hand, a few songs are odd, like “Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks.” “Bloodbuzz Ohio,” a narrative of being carried by a swarm of bees to the aforementioned state, is odder. “Conversation 16,” featuring the line, “I’d eat your brains” to a lover, is beyond odd. The method can become awkward when inserted within a somber moment. The music, on the other

“High Violet” The National

hand, is always satisfactory in its approach to the subject matter. It’s calm and in control, occasionally building tempo at the right moment. Especially effective are the strings and keys provided by Padma Newsome of fellow indie group Clogs. Independent music website Pitchfork ranked the band’s 2001 album “Alligator” among the best of the last decade. “High Violet” isn’t quite there, but it’s worth a listen.

Dead Weather just got better RAAD SHUBAILY Lantern reporter shubaily.3@osu.edu Jack White must not sleep at all. His latest project, The Dead Weather, has released its sophomore album, “Sea of Cowards,” within a year of its debut, “Horehound.” This time around, the group continues experimenting with its take on explosive guitar rock. Remember the song that ÿrst backed up the radio waves, “Treat Me Like Your Mother”? Think something like that with added blues grit and effectsheavy riffs. The back-and-forth scream/ singing between White and Alison Mosshart has been reÿned. Their vocal intensity pushes further into the ferocious and dark. A guitar solo in “I’m Mad” sets a new bar for guitar players, exploring the possibilities of effects pedals. “Hustle and Cuss” shows a fascination with riff-based psychedelic grooves, though it’s less menacing than other tracks. The overall sound hasn’t changed much from the ÿrst CD.

“Sea of Cowards” The Dead Weather

It’s much of the same with added ° are and a fuller sound. The fuzzy guitar licks have become more expansive, the bass lines more brutish and forceful. The single “Die by the Drop” is an eerie ride. It escalates into a bizarre anthem about death, with White and Mosshart screaming “I’m going to take you for worse or better/to my little grave.” It’s vague what exactly The Dead Weather is trying to say, but whatever it is — it’s loud and sort of creepy. Some albums are hard to listen to without high volume. Certain notes get lost in the mix, begging to be turned up. This is one of those albums.

btw Drum corps event broadcast locally maLLoRy TReLeaVen Lantern reporter treleaven.4@osu.edu In preparation for the start of the drum corps season, National CineMedia and Drum Corps International team up to show behindthe-scenes footage of past and present drum corps favorites at movie theaters across the nation. Today at 7:30 p.m., “The Countdown” will be shown at 481 theaters nationwide. Lennox Town Center, Easton Town Center, Crosswoods Cinema and Georgesville Square Stadium will be the four Columbus theaters featuring the event. Drum Corps International’s media coordinator Diane Peasel said the event is designed to kick off the drum corps season. The documentary will give an inside look at what some of the top drum corps have been working on in spring rehearsals, clips from the 2009 World Championships and some classic clips from years past. “They can’t see this spring rehearsal footage anywhere else,” Peasel said. “The fans really enjoy it.” The season begins in June with about 100 live events across the country, Peasel said. Michelle Portillo from National CineMedia said that “The Countdown” has been a very popular event since its start six years ago. National CineMedia presents cinema advertising and events in theaters nationwide. “The Drum Corps International community is huge, and when we began small in very few theaters fans insisted that event branch out more,” Portillo said. The Drum Corps organization didn’t want people driving 50 miles to

the nearest theater to see the event, and now they don’t have to, Portillo said. The documentary will feature The Bluecoats from Canton, Ohio, as well as classic moments from the Toledo drum corps, the Glassmen of Maumee. Portillo said that she was not a drum corps fan before experiencing “The Countdown.” “Whether you’re a drum corps fan or not, it is an amazing experience to see the formations and footwork on the big screen,” Portillo said. Drum Corps International reaches out to fans through Facebook, Twitter and e-mail, Peasel said. National CineMedia reaches out to audiences through pre-show trailers before movies and uses the screens in the lobby as people wait on refreshments as a means for advertisement, Portillo said. There will also be a live showing of the semi-finals of the World Championship in August. Portillo describes this event as just as popular in the community. “With the current economy a lot of people don’t have the means to travel to the semi-finals and the event is a great alternative for them,” Portillo said. The drum corps fan base is huge and people get excited in the month before the season starts, Peasel said. Although the event is completely prerecorded, Portillo said that the community makes its own event out of it. “They come and tailgate in their jackets and their colors in the parking lots,” Portillo said. She is confident that the drum corps community enjoys the event each year.

“3D Dot game heroes” From Software

“3D Dot Game Heroes” is a new PlayStation 3 game that plays like a 20-year-old game. It is a nostalgic adventure into the era of simplicity and fun. And unlike big gaming companies’ constant repackaging of old games, Game Heroes is a brand-new game with an updated twist to the beginning era of gaming. You are a descendant from a line of heroes asked to take the legendary sword and stop evil’s resurrection. Scattered in the kingdom, Dotnia, are six dungeons with magical orbs to assist in your quest. Defeating and solving each dungeon will provide new tools to reach new areas and destroy a legendary monster. The story is simple, mostly because there almost is no story. Game Heroes, like its predecessors, focuses on gameplay. There are no cutscenes, lengthy dialogue or cinematic qualities. A hero only needs to know his goal, and then set out for his quest. The hero is guided to six dungeons, and finding them in Dotnia is not much trouble. Actually, exploring the world is one of the most entertaining things about the game. However, constantly needing a certain item that is not available at the time is a tad annoying. And the dungeons themselves, though a great callback to older games, can get a bit redundant visually. The swordplay has been revamped though, and for the better. When the hero has a full health meter, his sword will take up a large size of the screen, damaging any monster on contact. The tool is amusing and helpful during the quest. The look of the game is simulated to look antique. The part of the title, “3D Dot,” refers to how every object in the game is created by tiny cubes. These blocks create an allusion to pixels, such as in the 8-bit days, but they also provide depth. It’s a beautiful mixture of old and new while also creating a fun style.

overall: Other factors, such as glimmering water, realistic lighting and spot-on reflection, offer an impressive contrast. The mix between old and new is balanced extremely well in Game Heroes, but a feature inspired by newer titles is the greatest aspect of the game. The music and sounds are also a lovely 8-bit recall. Chiptunes are as catchy as ever and a mix of orchestration is introduced to mix things up. The songs are good and right for the heroic quest, but certain songs are heard too many times. The adventure in Dotnia is a fun experience. Players just need to be aware that a majority of the game is an ancient formula. And if accepted, “3D Dot Game Heroes” can be a great experience; otherwise, the adventure will seem a bit mundane. “3D Dot Game Heroes” is the love letter you wrote to your video games when you were young and impressionable. But instead of delivering the letter, you let it sit in your locker, collecting dust. And now, looking 20 years back, you can’t help but remember and rediscover that special chemistry all over again.

Circus from 1B

Circus performance runs in the Vargas family saw around him,” Lolis said about her son as a performer. She said she enjoys having her entire family perform in the circus. She met her husband while performing in the circus, and they helped raise Vargas and his sister in the circus as well. “We enjoy it and we treasure that. Nowadays, it’s so special to spend time with your family,” she said. Lolis said she has performed as a flying trapeze artist on the high wire and ridden elephants. She works now as the head of the wardrobe department. Born in Mexico, Vargas said her father moved them to San Antonio, Texas, to get a proper education. She lived the traditional lifestyle but still practiced in the circus. She said she told her father, “You took us out of the circus, but you didn’t take the circus out of us.” She understands her son’s love and passion.

“It’s in my veins and it’s in my blood,” she said. “I love the circus.” Both Vargas and his mother are currently working on the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s show, “Zing, Zang, Zoom.” The circus performance is magic-themed. It includes a disappearing elephant, a man that turns into a tiger and a variety of magical circus performances. Vargas said she and her team have worked with designers from California to help develop 500 costumes with about 1,000 accessories that will enhance the magic for the show. An hour before the start of the show, Vargas and the rest of the clowns performing in the show will meet with guests and teach them tricks in Ringling Bros. Clown College. “Zing, Zang, Zoom” will be coming to Columbus for seven performances at Nationwide Arena.

Clowns from 1B

Insane Clown

speaks out on ‘Miracles’ video group tosses and sprays the beverages into the crowd. Utsler says to expect more of the same on Sunday. “Expect to get wet. Expect a lot of action on the stage,” he said. “It’s just a big f------ party and we’re the background music.” The “parties” are widely attended. Fans of ICP refer to themselves as “juggalos,” a nickname derived from the group’s song “The Juggla.” The juggalo population has grown and organized, including running an annual “Gathering of the Juggalos” event. The group has used its musical success to further expand the ICP name beyond just the musical act. ICP helped to found Psychopathic Records, the label in which it resides. The group has produced and starred in movies and has even founded and wrestled in its own league, Juggalo Championship Wrestling. As to where the band members will tread next, Utsler wasn’t sure, but he wouldn’t rule anything out. “Whatever we’re into at the time, we’ll make it happen,” he said. “We got a ‘no ideas are stupid’ policy. Maybe it’ll be river-dancing, I don’t know.” Regardless of what comes next, the musical

aspect of the group’s menagerie still brings them the most attention. Although Sunday’s lineup will feature alt-favorites the Kottonmouth Kings and Coolio (yes, the one who sang “Gangsta’s Paradise”), there is little doubt that ICP has continued to remain relevant after all these years. Most recently, the duo has been placed in the spotlight thanks to the YouTube sensation its most recent music video has become. The video, based on ICP’s single “Miracles,” features the group rapping about the things it finds to be amazing. The use of the word “miracle” has caused most of the strife the duo have received. “I know that magnets aren’t magic,” Utsler said in reference to the song’s most beleaguered line: “Magnets, how the f--- do they work?” as he shrugged off online comments and a Saturday Night Live parody. “The song is about appreciating the little things in life, not that we think science is bulls---.” Regardless of constant antagonism, ICP continues to go strong. Just one more question for Utsler: what is his favorite flavor of Faygo? “Cherry Cola. They stopped making it though,” he said. “Kinda broke my heart.”

Battle from 1B

Fever Fever

to headline Battle of the Bands at the Union on Friday both hip-hop and alternative music, according to his website. “I want to make music the world can relate to,” Pockets said on his website. “I want to make music that influences, if not changes, lives.” The Kraze, a rock band from Chillicothe, formed when its four members met at their hometown church and decided to make music, according to their website. The Bug Chasers call their music “rock and roll with a bit of swagger and a lot of style.” The fourman band was influenced by artists such as David Bowie and The Sex Pistols, according to its website. Fever Fever, the headliner, released its full-length album “Love Quest” in November, and their music “is driven by rich, alternative-pop anthems,” according to its website. MacInnis said that all the acts are talented, but she would like Fever Fever to win the competition. “I just really enjoy their music,” MacInnis said of the headliner. “Their music is really catchy.” A panel of judges selects the winning band. The grand prize is one free track professionally mixed and mastered, MacInnis said.

This year, Romophos also decided to change the venue. Battle of the Bands has traditionally been held at the Newport Music Hall. Friday’s event will be held in the Ohio Union. Romophos is hoping to fill the Performance Hall, which holds 1,000 people, MacInnis said. MacInnis said the event has been popular in the past and is usually voted the best event put on by any class honorary at OSU. She said Romophos is hoping to continue this trend. MacInnis said she would consider the event a success if “the people who came to the event enjoyed the music and have fun raising money for a good cause.” Romophos’ Battle of the Bands will take place at 8 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $5 in advance or $7 at the door. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Thursday and Friday at the RPAC in the booth between the Welcome Center and Courtside Café, as well as on the Oval, weather-permitting.

Chekhov from 1B

Three Sisters comes to campus

to sound as contemporary as possible and Mamet does the best job of that, Ryan said. Ryan also expressed a fondness in the piece because it gives student-actors an opportunity to challenge themselves and their abilities, using Chekhov and Mamet’s works. The department maintains that audiences can expect a good show. This is in part because “The Three Sisters” is such a well-known classic, said Damian Bowerman, publicity coordinator for the OSU Department of Theatre. Ryan has been working on the play for more than a year, because of the significant amount of research it required. Rehearsals began March 29 and continued weekly, with four-hour sessions and five-hour sessions on Saturdays. With the tremendous amount of work that has gone into the production, the department expects a good turnout. “We always set the bar high, and while we seek to appeal to our target audience of students, we hope to bring members of the surrounding community out as well,” Bowerman said. Ryan said she enjoyed all of the work that went into bringing one of the most beautiful pieces in dramatic literature to life. “‘Three Sisters’ is considered by many to be Chekhov’s master work and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with students on such a complex and powerful piece.”
