Ohio State student veterans and active service members said they felt joy and a sense of relief upon hearing that Osama bin Laden had been killed when the news broke on Sunday. President Barack Obama announced Sunday night that U.S. special operations forces killed bin Laden during an operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan. “At ÿrst, I was in disbelief, my throat dropped, it was unbelievable,” said Colin Busse, a former sergeant in the Army and a ÿrst-year in pre-special education. “It almost brought tears to my eyes, it was that happy.” Busse spent time deployed in Afghanistan and currently resides in university housing provided for combat veterans. He said he ignored the ÿrst text message he received telling him to turn on the news and went back to sleep. When he received a second message

saying bin Laden was dead, he quickly got up and joined his fellow veterans to watch the news. “I had two buddies killed when I was in Afghanistan, so it was just crazy,” Busse said. “I was just so happy and relieved that they got him.” Brian Stewart, a former infantryman in the Army and a third-year at Moritz College of Law this quarter, told of a similar reaction to the news. “It was kind of a wave of emotion, really,” Stewart said. “It feels like relief, it feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders that I think we’ve all just sort of gotten used to carrying around.” Stewart was a senior in high school when the 9/11 attacks occurred. He came to OSU, but enlisted for active duty in the Army during Spring Quarter of his ÿrst year. After spending 2005 deployed in Iraq, Stewart returned to OSU with the veteran education beneÿts of the GI Bill. After graduating from OSU with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 2007, he used the rest of his beneÿts to attend law school. “Without 9/11, without Osama bin Laden, my life could’ve been very, very different, I might not have

gone into military,” Stewart said. “It feels like there’s closure.” After the news of bin Laden’s death broke on Sunday, thousands of people gathered to celebrate outside the White House and at Ground Zero and thousands of OSU students gathered at Mirror Lake. Wally Dolinski, a National Guard member and a third-year in special education, took part in the festivities at Mirror Lake after receiving a text from a friend. “I’ll tell you, the coolest chill I’ve ever gotten down my spine was when we were all in a big circle and I had my ° ag right in the middle,” Dolinski said. “It was the ° ag that ° ew over my house on 9/11 and I was waving it, and they started singing the national anthem and ‘God Bless America.’” Dolinski said a good friend of his was killed serving in Afghanistan, and that Sunday’s celebration was the best feeling in the world on one of the greatest nights of his life. “It was like, for the ÿrst time, we weren’t

Bin Laden era came ‘full circle’ ERIC TAYLOR Lantern reporter taylor.1805@osu.edu With the celebrations after Osama bin Laden’s death was announced, many are asking why the collegeaged generation was so enthusiastic over bin Laden’s death. Social psychology professor Robert Arkin said it is hard to assess the youth reaction right now in regards to similar events in the past and an occurrence like 9/11 has not happened since World War II. Arkin teaches a course on the psychology of personal security, which incorporates discussion on responses to terrorism. Arkin said his own life has provided some insight to this generation’s reaction. “I have sons that are in college, so I know what they grew up in after 9/11,” Arkin said. “It has pervaded their lives since age 10. Their whole lives, they have grown up in the threat of terrorism.” The general exuberance can be explained psychologically, Arkin said. He compared the satisfaction of bin Laden’s death to when victims’ relatives can watch the execution of the murderer. “It would seem odd that the victim’s family would want to do that,” Arkin said. “But it brings tremendous relief to make some sense of the

High gas prices drive some to ride bikes GORDON GANTT Lantern reporter gantt.26@osu.edu It’s not easy to walk into Revolution Cycles in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus these days. The custom bike shop and Segway dealership is packed with bikes, and it isn’t just because spring is in the air. Gas prices are on track to set records this year and continue to rise. After news of Osama bin Laden’s death on Sunday, gas stations near Ohio State raised prices for regular unleaded by about 5 cents to about $4.20 per gallon. These high fuel prices have some OSU students thinking of trading four wheels for two. “Every time the media reports on fuel prices going up, we see a spike in business,” said Jared Cavalier, owner of Revolution Cycles. Besides selling and ÿxing bikes, the shop is the only independent Segway dealer in the state of Ohio. Segways are two-wheeled electric vehicles that the rider stands on and controls by shifting his or her weight. “We’re selling as many (Segways) now, if not more, as when they ÿrst came out,” Cavalier said. But bicycles are still the most popular means of transportation at Revolution Cycles. Cavalier said his shop is full of bikes in for a tune-up. “A lot of them are bikes that have been in the garage for a couple years,” Cavalier said. “We’re getting a lot of people who forgot they had bikes.” With many analysts predicting that gas prices could reach $5 per gallon by this summer, a lot more forgotten bikes might soon get some use. “Oh god, this is terrible,” said Sarah Cheah, a second-year in pre-design, as she ÿlled up her fourdoor Honda Civic on Saturday. It now costs Cheah nearly $50 to ÿll up her compact car. The impact on her budget has her considering alternatives.

GORDON GANTT / Lantern reporter

Gas prices at the Shell gas station at the corner of Lane Avenue and High Street reached $4.15 on Saturday. “I’m thinking of getting a hybrid or a scooter,” Cheah said. Wade Killough of Columbus Cycles said a lot of people are thinking like Cheah. Located on King Avenue in Grandview, the business sells both gas-powered scooters and motorcycles and sales are rising with fuel prices. “We typically sell 14 units a month, but there are days now when we‘re selling four a day,” Killough said. Riders are attracted by the fun and fuel economy of the scooters, some of which get between 85 and

110 miles per gallon and can be ÿlled with gas for less than $10, Killough said. But not everyone is racing to get a bicycle or scooter. Aaron Kersjes, a second-year in aviation, said prices are pretty ridiculous right now, but he isn’t feeling the pinch. “Right now my girlfriend pays for my gas, because I pick her up from work,” Kersjes said as he

Veterans agree bin Laden’s death is a joyous occasion Democrats or Republicans, we were Americans again, since 2001,” Dolinski said. “It was just a great feeling.” While many people were eager to take part in celebrating bin Laden’s death, some felt the public displays of joy might not have been the best reaction. Bobby Lane, former sergeant in the Marine Corps and a second-year in ÿnance, said while the news made him happy, he also tried to remain humble. “A part of me felt like people were a little overjoyed and had kind of forgotten that the enemy that we’re ÿghting, that’s the kind of action they’re looking for,” said Lane, who served three tours in Iraq. “They’re looking for that spark.” There were also some differing reactions within the OSU military community in regards to bin Laden being discovered at a large compound in a city roughly 30 miles outside of Islamabad, Pakistan. “We kind of assumed he was living rough in caves, and constantly on the run. And it turns out he’s in this kind of lavish compound, living fairly well,” Stewart said. Ryan Flynn, a specialist in the Army Reserves and a fourth-year in risk management and insurance, said he suspected bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan. “Where they found him doesn’t surprise me

pain they have endured. So I think his (bin Laden’s) death has brought everything full circle and provided closure to the younger people.” Student assessments of the signiÿcance of bin Laden’s death vary. Mike Baker, a third-year in hospitality management, said experiencing the event at the age he and his peers did warranted the excitement across the country. “When you’re a part of history, it is easier to relate to,” Baker said. “Plus, everyone had someone they knew affected by it, whether it was a soldier or knew someone in the city when it happened. It just had such a broad range of individuals involved, and I think that is why it is a big deal.” John Bennett, a fourth-year in comparative cultural studies, views the student reaction similarly to Arkin. “I suppose to some people it represents closure because we have all grown up with this in our lives,” Bennett said. Bennett took the plunge solo on Monday afternoon with a U.S. ° ag draped over his shoulder and shouting “U.S.A.,” in part to show how bizarre he found the event at Mirror Lake.

either, in a pretty lavish neighborhood full of ex-Pakistani military retirees,” said Flynn, who was deployed in Afghanistan in 2009. “They knew exactly what was going on.” One student-veteran said he thinks bin Laden’s living arrangements led to the discovery of the terrorist leader. “I think he became vulnerable when he put himself more out in the open,” said Tommie Kitchen, a fourth-year in marketing and a Marine Corps veteran deployed in Iraq in 2003. “I think he got too complacent.” Despite differing opinions on the celebrations and details surrounding the killing of bin Laden, members of OSU’s military community agreed that it was both a joyous occasion and a historic accomplishment. In his address on Sunday, Obama said upon taking ofÿce, he made the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority in the war against al-Qaida, and that it was the tireless efforts of the U.S. military over the last 10 years that made it possible. A crowd began to gather outside of the White House shortly after Obama ÿnished his speech. “At one point, when I saw the crowd outside the White House cheering, it almost brought tears to my eyes, it was really emotional,” Busse said. “It was a good moment, I’ll never forget it … I’ll never forget.” Joe Lombardi contributed to this story.

“I missed the party Sunday, but I just thought it was a curious way to react to a death of somebody,” Bennett said. “Celebrating like that didn’t seem to make much sense. I thought it was ridiculous, I mean, it just looked like a performance. I don’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing really.” Jana Robinson, a fourth-year in strategic communication, has a completely different outlook on why Sunday was so festive for her generation. “I think it is kind of because it happened in the Obama administration,” Robinson said. “(Former President George W.) Bush started this whole thing, and it was our main accomplishment. Now that it happened, everyone is freaking out.” Robinson said there might be some closure from the celebrations and added that 9/11, coupled with the bin Laden death, could be this generation’s deÿning historical moments. Carl Ewing, a third-year in accounting, said the his generation had more personal involvement because it is more likely than other generations to have friends on the battleÿeld. Or it could be simple. “I think maybe it’s just an excuse to celebrate something,” Ewing said. “I don’t feel this is our generation’s ‘Oh yes!’ moment. It doesn’t happen every day, but it is just one step to a multi-step problem.”

Store owner topped off his tank on Saturday. “She has a credit card that her dad pays.” For those without outside help, the price of gas might cause them to ÿnd alternative means of transportation. But Cavalier, who has been selling bikes and Segways for nine years, said he isn’t getting too comfortable with the boost in business.

“People have short memories,” Cavalier said. “If prices drop again, they’ll go back to their same old habits.” It is those old habits that are the real problem, Cavalier said. “More than half of car trips are six miles or less,” Cavalier said. “If we all used bikes, Segways or other urban transportation for those short trips, we could all drive Hummers on the highways.”

Storm drainage escapes manhole, causing road near RPAC to ﬂood RACHEL REMY Lantern reporter remy.31@osu.edu The road between the RPAC and Ohio Stadium started to ° ood at about 9 a.m. Tuesday because the manhole that holds storm drainage was not bolted down properly, said Doug Brandon, a Facilities Operations and Development employee. Brian Kennedy, an FOD employee, said when there is too much rainfall, the pipes get full, and it causes water to back up and ° ood the road. Brandon said he wasn’t certain what happened to the bolts, but a contractor or student could have taken the bolts off the manhole. Kennedy also said the bolts might have been removed because of periodic service maintenance, contractors or pranksters. The bolts weren’t on the manhole Tuesday morning when the road began to ° ood after water from the second round of rain leaked out of the storm drain, Brandon said.

“This use to be bolted down, and it’s popping up,” Brandon said. “It happened during the second round of rain around 9 (a.m.)” Brandon was holding down the manhole with his truck to keep the rain from pouring onto the road until further assistance arrived. If the bolts are returned and no damage to the area is done, it won’t cost the university, Brandon said. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sally Blatt, FOD ofÿce administrative associate, couldn’t ensure the manhole leak had been ÿxed. “I can’t conÿrm that right now,” Blatt said. The storm drainage leak has happened before, Brandon said. “It ° ooded back into the practice ÿeld back there. (It was) pretty messy,” Brandon said. Kennedy said he didn’t know damage costs of previous storm drainage leaks. Victor Huang contributed to this story.

student voice As it leaves office, USG presidential team says thanks What a year it has been! On this last day of our term as president and vice president of the Undergraduate Student Government, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for trusting us with such an incredible opportunity. During our campaign a year ago, we heard students say they did not know what USG did for them, and they did not understand how USG could effectively represent the entire student body. Upon our election, we decided that the only way to correct this would be to get out there and listen to as many students as possible. We came to learn that every Ohio State student has a different background and different priorities. It was only upon becoming effective listeners that we were able to effectively lead. We spent the year working tirelessly to implement the ideas we heard from you. Thanks to your ideas and USG’s efforts, Thompson Library is now open until 2 a.m. These additional hours ensure we are better able to utilize all the resources available to us to help us with our studies. Additionally, in response to concerns that we heard about student safety, we were able to purchase two new vehicles for the Student Safety Services Program. These new cars will help the program provide more students with rides at times when walking may be unsafe. You will also be able to see the results of USG’s hard work when you return to campus next year. Prior to the start of football season, a recycling machine will be installed in the South Campus Gateway that will pay us to recycle our cans. This affirms our commitment to environmental sustainability while also helping us to save some money during these challenging economic times. Perhaps most significantly, in response to the desire that we heard for tuition to remain affordable we successfully lobbied the university administration not to impose a

They had proposed that students should pay additional tuition costs if they enrolled in more than 16 credit hours, and we were able to persuade them not to implement this system for next year. This will save students thousands of dollars. In addition to serving all OSU students as an entirety, we also sought to serve the strong individual communities that make up our student

body. We created a USG Diversity team that worked to enhance diversity and inclusion on our campus. We also took a strong stand opposing discrimination in our student organizations to our university administration. We helped the ROTC students receive priority scheduling so that they could better prepare to serve our country while still having the same opportunities to succeed in the classroom that other students enjoy. We also advocated for the needs of in-state, out-of-state and international students at the federal, state and local levels of government. Throughout the year, we have seen the unbelievable accomplishments that OSU students are capable of achieving. We go to a university of endless opportunities, and USG worked to create new opportunities for all our students to flourish. None of this would have been possible without the help of so many people. USG has hundreds of students involved in our Cabinet and Senate that work every day to make the university a better place. We also want to thank our Cabinet Directors and our leadership team of Laura Christobek, Lindsay Stallings, and Brett Chessin. They are some of the smartest and hardest working students at OSU and they are responsible for so many of USG’s accomplishments this year. Thank you again for the many ideas that you provided to us, and thank you again for trusting us with this opportunity. We hope we made you proud. We believe in OSU and in the greatness that our students can achieve. We are all Buckeyes, Micah Kamrass and Brad Pyle

Despite end to bin Laden, news never stops Most of the editors who were in the newsroom Sunday as President Barack Obama declared to the nation that Osama bin Laden had been killed were in junior high when we first heard that odd-sounding name. Others were still in elementary school. Regardless of where we were Sept. 11, 2001, all of us knew Sunday’s events were about to change our country. The death of the man who made “terrorism” a dinner-table topic of conversation sent students across campus out to the streets, to the bars and into Mirror Lake. The Lantern staff hit the streets as well. We sought you out, asked for your opinions and photographed your celebrations. We documented your story. Other editors spent the entire night researching, and started making phone calls as soon as the sun came up to make sense of

what was happening. We reported on experts saying the war on terrorism is not over. We quoted a former army major on how this will affect the United States’ relationship with Pakistan and other countries in the Middle East. We asked Ohio State experts — your professors — to chime in as well. Not only did we share news gathered from the experts, but expanded our Student Voice section and ran columns of what you all thought. As journalists, it is not our job to pass judgment on the death of any man. But, regardless of the way any of us felt about bin Laden or his acts of terrorism, the weight of Sunday’s events was undeniable. We knew that whether you, our readers, viewed him as Public Enemy No. 1, we owed you fair and comprehensive coverage. Bin Laden’s death marks the end of an era in which Americans have been fascinated with the rise to prominence of the son of a

Middle Eastern oil tycoon. But it marks the beginning of an era in which we have more questions than answers. Who is going to be the next household name of terrorism? How are gas prices going to be affected by an even more tumultuous Middle East? Is al-Qaida going to strike back? Will our men and women in the armed forces come home? Will the forces of terror in Asia, Africa and South America move into the forefront of the anti-terrorism fight? The next weeks, months and years are going to paint a new picture of terrorism, but a picture of terrorism nonetheless. The Lantern will be here telling the story.

How often do you think about our troops? LANTERN Columnist

Ask people where they were on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, and you will get an exact answer. I was in seventh grade and was just starting my second period art class when someone walked in the room and informed us of the chilling news. Everyone in the class knew what had just happened was tragic, but no one attributed the events to terrorism. When word spread that the second plane had hit, there was an even greater sense of unease, but still no real understanding. Once I got home and saw the images on TV, it began to sink in that the morning’s events were no accident. Osama bin Laden’s face continually flashed on the screen, a face that became the image of terror for the next decade. The news Sunday night of his death at the hands of American soldiers closed a small chapter in this saga and jogged my memory back to that infamous day. Bin Laden’s death in no way marks the end, as many others who spread terror will hopefully meet a similar fate; but it provides at least a little bit of closure. A person’s death is not often a reason for happiness, but in this case the joy can be

plentiful, and no excuses need be issued. Despite being only one man among many, bin Laden was a target from day one. With previous unsuccessful military missions abroad and the down economy at home, it is comforting to know that something has gone right. But amid the excitement and celebration, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt as well. Because I have no one in my immediate circle of family and friends fighting overseas, it is easy for me to go days, weeks or even months without giving the military much thought. Sure, I, like many others,

expressed jubilation at the news of bin Laden’s death. But do I mourn every time a fellow American, far braver than I, loses his or her life fighting the same battle? The answer, sadly, is no, which is not something I am proud of. I take their efforts for granted. The news Sunday made me realize that. Life is easy for me. I can experience a war on TV, thousands of miles away. But for those among us with a brother, sister, mom, dad, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt or uncle risking their lives for this great country, life is not so easy. The wars have been entirely different for these people. They likely go weeks and months thinking of nothing but the war. That is why Sunday, May 1, 2011, was such a great day — because we as a nation directed our collective attention rallying behind the thousands of men and women who make our daily lives so comfortable. It is important that we remember these people through both thick and thin. They deserve to be in our thoughts and prayers always.

Sad ending to the life of bin Laden, hockey superstar

On Sunday night, Americans and lovers of democracy all over the world celebrated the announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader who had been in hiding for nearly 10 years following 9/11. Lost in the mix was that bin Laden was once a star who fell on hard times, and it ended up costing him everything. A common misconception was that bin Laden had been at the forefront of the rebellion against invading Soviet forces in 1979. In truth, he did not join the resistance until 1981. In 1979, bin Laden was beyond pro-Soviet; he was a symbol of the USSR’s might, as a member of its national hockey team. As a child, bin Laden dreamt of Olympic gold on the ice. The harsh climate of Saudi Arabia, his childhood home, made the maintenance of an ice rink impossible, however. The young bin Laden overcame the obstacles, skating and practicing his slapshot on a makeshift rink, constructed of industrially-welded car hoods, which he stole from a scrap yard. When he was 18, he got the chance of a lifetime. Bin Laden moved to Afghanistan, and a Soviet diplomat (the Reds had been scouting the land for invasion well before 1979) noticed his skills and invited

him to practice with the Soviet team. Soviet national coach Viktor Tikhonov recognized bin Laden’s talent, and by 1980, at the age of 23, the Saudi youth was a member of the Soviet Winter Olympics team. What seemed like a dream come true was actually a trying ordeal for the young man. Although a star player known for his ability to draw hits from defenders, leading to the ignorantly titled “Pakistani Power RYAN BOOK Play,” (a catchphrase he reportedly book.15@osu.edu hated), bin Laden spent most of his time during the Olympics on the bench because of racial tension. His teammates isolated him, and fans taunted him. All he had to hope for was the gold medal. It was not to be. The U.S. defeated the USSR in the championship round, still regarded as one of the biggest upsets in sports history. The loss broke bin Laden, who soon withdrew from hockey and the Soviet Union. As he had forgone education to pursue dreams of the spotlight in athletics, he had no job opportunities to fall back on. All he could do was plot vengeance on the two entities that had, in his mind, led him to such a low state: the USSR and, even more so, the United States. He returned to Afghanistan to lead the front against the Soviets, and over time, plotted his wrath against the United States. As time wore on and the Soviets withdrew, bin Laden found himself

LANTERN Columnist

Columnist’s note: Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl recently stated that abortions make up “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.” A member of Kyl’s staff, in response to media questions on his absurd claim, said that Kyl’s argument was “not intended to be a factual statement,” a quote that Stephen Colbert would later abuse as defense for ridiculous statements he made on “The Colbert Report.” It is with Colbert’s attitude that I ask you to read the following piece.

without a job and without a way to fight his remaining enemy. At the onset of the ‘90s, he engulfed himself in grunge music, particularly Alice in Chains and Mother Love Bone , and also with the hip drug of the musical movement: heroin. Unfortunately, he lived in the highestsupplying nation of the drug. Soon, with mounting bills to pay and an addiction to feed, bin Laden inquired about a job he saw advertised on a telephone pole: an internship with al-Qaida, at that point a fledgling terrorist group. The rest is history. It’s easy to say that bin Laden’s actions, and ultimately his demise, cannot be blamed on anyone other than himself. But I wonder what would have happened if he had the opportunity to return to school after professional hockey fell through. Would he still have become the heartless terrorist he died as, or would he have gone on to become happy and successful in the “real world?” On Feb. 27, The Lantern ran an article detailing how the university offered student-athletes the option of returning to finish their degree, free of charge. The article prompted responses from readers such as, “Seriously, cry me a river about the hardships of being a student athlete,” and others about how ridiculous such a program is. I admit, I’ve been jealous of the perks that many OSU athletes receive, but now I consider the harm that is done if the athlete can’t make it in the pros. Many a Buckeye faithful shook their head and smirked when former running back Maurice Clarett was arrested, carrying an AK-47 variant and two other handguns. Failure to succeed in one’s profession hits athletes harder than most. Clarett’s life is in a spiral that could have been prevented with a simple college degree. A case like Clarett’s is easy to shrug off; one like bin Laden’s, less so.

alex kopilow Senior Lantern reporter kopilow.1@osu.edu From giving signs to taking signs, redshirt sophomore David Fathalikhani made a switch that changed his baseball career. He traded in his catcher’s mitt and took on a new role as a relief pitcher for the Ohio State baseball team. Fathalikhani came to OSU from Vienna, Va., in 2008, with the intentions of walking on to the team as catcher. He succeed. “Originally I just thought I could add more depth to the catching position, and work my way up into some playing time,” Fathalikhani said. “I never really fully expected to be a starting catcher or anything like that. I thought I could compete for some playing time down the road.” About February or March 2010, Fathalikhani was catching a bullpen session, and for fun he went to the mound to throw five pitches. “I went up there and threw a few pitches, and I guess they liked what they saw,” Fathalikhani said. He had the potential to be a pitcher, but it was not until he changed his delivery that it all started to click. “He was up at a higher angle when we decided to drop him down. It was in the winter right when practice started,” pitching coach Mike Stafford said. “We felt as a staff that David could help us to drop his arm slot down and create movement in his ball.” After he worked on it for several weeks, the coaches knew they were on to something when they found his arm slot created a little side-arm sink. Then they started working on a second pitch. “It takes a special guy to make that decision that the coaches think is the best chance to help our team,” volunteer assistant coach Josh Newman said. “He was a leader and a guy that we wanted to see if he could drop down, and he was lights out in the bullpen one time and he hasn’t looked back since.” “It was a big difference,”

David Fathalikhani throws a pitch during the Buckeyes’ 9-8 victory against Michigan State on April 16. Ohio State won the series in 3 games. Fathalikhani said. “It has given me a lot more movement, a lot more consistency in my delivery, and it’s a lot more off-speed to set up from there.” He said after the change he threw strikes consistently and was able to induce more ground balls because he was keeping his pitches low in the strike zone.

One of his initial challenges was fighting his habit of a short-arm delivery that catchers have. “It takes a lot of will and a lot of love of the game to go from one position to another position,” sophomore catcher Greg Solomon said. “But being a catcher is also an advantage if you’re going to be a

pitcher because you know pitches and counts.” He pitched a scoreless fifth inning and struck out a batter in his first appearance Feb. 20 against St. John’s. He relieved starting pitcher Greg Greve in the 8-7 extra-innings win. “It was fun,” Fathalikhani said. “A lot of hard work had gone into it, two years of working really hard in the weight room. I kind of just realized it’s paying off, and it was a moment to go out there and make the most of it.” He has become one of the most reliable pitchers coming out of the bullpen for OSU. He has made 15 appearances, more than any other relief pitcher on the team, and his 3.45 ERA is the lowest among them. Fathalikhani attributed his success to the hard work he put into pitching, a positive mentality and guys working hard behind him, but said he is not about to slow down. “I’m not content with the success I have had so far,” he said. “I’m a competitor; that’s my strength. No matter what the situation is, I think I’m going to be able to be successful and help our team get out of a tough situation.” Stafford said Fathalikhani continues to succeed because he bought into what he and his staff were trying to teach him and that he “mentally stuck it out.” With Fathalikhani’s new role comes a more demanding schedule, and he has had to learn how to keep an eye on academics with less time to allocate to them. “It’s a little tougher in classes now knowing later in the day you’re going to have to throw in a pressurepacked situation,” he said. “You’re not always 100 percent focused on your classwork sometimes. I just try and compartmentalize everything. There’s a world for school — once I get down here I try to put everything behind myself.” Fathalikhani said he is pretty comfortable now in his new role. “The first time I went out there I felt a little butterflies,” he said. “Now I have a routine I follow and it’s the same thing for every game.”

Seniors strengthen backbone in postseason alex kopilow Senior Lantern reporter kopilow.1@osu.edu

Setter Steven Kehoe puts the ball up for middle Kevin Heine during the 2nd game of the match between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the L ewis Flyers March 4. Ohio State won the match in 3 straight games.

The third-seeded Ohio State men’s volleyball team (24-6, 11-1 MIVA) will face second-seeded Penn State (24-6) at 9 p.m. Thursday in the NCAA Championship semifinals. Both teams enter the NCAA semifinals after winning their respective conference tournaments. The Nittany Lions are 15-1 at home this season. Although PSU has home-court advantage, OSU coach Pete Hanson said he’s confident his team will be calm in its road matchup. “Typically we go there once, sometimes twice, so we’re pretty familiar with it,” Hanson said. “I think it’s going to be a comfortable situation for our guys, and bodes well for our kids.” Redshirt senior Kevin Heine agreed.

“We have all these seniors on the team that have been there before, and we’re not going to be intimidated by it,” Heine said Saturday. The Scarlet and Gray faced the Nittany Lions twice this season, and each team won its home match. OSU won, 3-0, in Columbus, and PSU won, 3-1, at Recreation Hall in a match that included a dominating 25-9 win in the fourth and final set. “All we’re going to ask them to do is be consistent, be who we are and try to play our best volleyball,” Hanson said. He said the players to watch out for on the Nittany Lions are setter Edgardo Goas, libero Dennis Del Valle and outside hitter Joe Sunder. To counter their attack, Hanson said he needs his team to cut out those players’ supporting cast. “We know those guys are going to play well,” he said. “We just have to make sure the other guys don’t have great matches.”

Sunder leads PSU in points, with 5.12. Goas averages 11.07 assists per set, and Del Valle leads the team defensively in digs per set, with a 2.66 average and 290 total digs. “This whole year we have played the best of the best,” redshirt senior John Klanac said Saturday. “We can hang with them, and we’ve beaten a few of them.” Hanson added that it is important for the team to be steady in the second through fourth sets, as it was against Lewis and LoyolaChicago in the MIVA Tournament. Southern California and California-Santa Barbara play their semifinal match at 7 p.m. Thursday. “Either one of those teams is going to be a big challenge for us,” Hanson said. The semifinal winners will face off for the national championship at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Tressel ridicule runs rampant on billboard, predictable reaction from team up north SPORTS Columnist

Kel sey given s givens.64@osu.edu

Of all the people happy to see the Ohio State football program falling apart at the seams,

Michigan seems to have found a way to make its cheers the loudest. A new Scarlet and Gray billboard recently appeared in Michigan along Interstate 94 that reads, “Liar, Liar, Vest on Fire!” A representative from CBS Outdoor said he cannot release details of the contract, but The Detroit News reported the purchaser was a Michigan fan who wishes to remain anonymous. Anonymous? It seems a little odd that someone willing to go so far as to buy a 14-by-48-foot billboard on a busy highway to tell people what he or she thinks about

the NCAA investigation of OSU coach Jim Tressel would want to remain anonymous. The cost of the billboard varies depending on the length of the contract, the number of billboards purchased and the location. Maybe whoever bought the billboard just didn’t want to face the wrath of Buckeye fans everywhere who would be angered by the sign. Or maybe the fan wanted to be the faceless, nameless voice of all the excited Michigan fans who believe that, if Tressel is gone, their school actually has a hope of beating OSU. Whoever this billboard

belongs to, in five short words their gigantic sign is taking a powerful shot at the sweatervest-wearing Tressel, along with the OSU football program. The giant sign is just a visual representation of what many feel is the reality of this investigation: that Tressel is guilty of everything he is being accused of. The OSU coach has been accused of knowing that several of his players received improper benefits and of not reporting it to the NCAA. Five Buckeyes, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, offensive lineman Mike Adams, running back Dan Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey and

defensive lineman Solomon Thomas are suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for selling memorabilia and receiving improper benefits. Tressel will join them for not reporting their infractions and faces further punishment from the NCAA. Whether the accusations are true, whoever posted this billboard had something he or she felt the need to say — and it needed to be public. Doesn’t it say in the Constitution that all those accused have the right to face their accuser? Guilty or not, doesn’t Tressel deserve that same kind of respect? Shouldn’t he know

who’s saying what about him, especially when it’s plastered on a giant billboard? Either way, this controversial sign might only be up a short while longer. According to The Detroit News, the sign was only paid to be up for a week and might come down Thursday. However, the representative from CBS Outdoor told The Lantern the minimum length of a contract is four weeks. In the end, does it really matter? Tressel has a 9-1 record against the Wolverines while at the helm for the Buckeyes.

The Gregory Brothers, who created the series ‘Auto-Tune the News,’ perform at the Ohio Union Performance Hall Monday night.

Auto-tune stars dish on fame Matt Krau s Lantern reporter kraus.86@osu.edu

A lot of musicians become famous for their own singing. The Gregory Brothers are famous for making other people sing. The group is made up of siblings Andrew, Michael and Evan Gregory, along with Evan’s wife Sarah Fullen Gregory. Since 2008 they have become well-known for their Internet videos which feature auto-tuned versions of real-life events and news footage. The Gregory Brothers refer to the subjects in its videos as “accidental singers.” Sometimes they will even go so far as to call them “co-writers.” The Gregory Brothers sat down for an interview with The Lantern before its performance Monday night at the Ohio Union’s Performance Hall. Evan describes the process of

creating an auto-tuned viral video as a collaboration between their computers and the voice of the accidental singer. “There are many potential approaches,” he said. “The one that we choose is to listen attentively to the natural cadence of our co-writers’ voice. We simply help release the melody that the universe has already placed there.” Andrew said that they were never more excited than when they first discovered the potential singing voices of Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. He described them as the Beyoncé and R. Kelly of the unintentional singing world. The Gregory Brothers first gained prominence with its series of “AutoTune the News” videos, which added auto-tune to everything from congressional debate to pundits on cable news. Eventually, this has resulted in videos such as “Double Rainbow Song,” “Winning – A Song by Charlie

Sheen,” and their most well-known creation, “Bed Intruder Song.” Creating amusing videos is not the only important thing to the group. They said they truly want to use the material to create great pop songs. Sarah said that people are attracted to their videos because they sound like popular music. “I think it goes to show that people are ready for a different subject matter in their pop songs,” she said. “Singing about love is all well and good, but singing about legislation and breaking news is obviously what the people want.” Famous musicians have gotten in on the act as well. “Auto-Tune the News” videos have featured cameos from such famous acts as T-Pain, Weezer and Joel Madden. “T-Pain is a neat one because what we’re doing is highly employing a style that he pioneered,” Evan said. “It’s like you’re learning how to pilot a giant sailing ship, and then all of

the sudden here comes Christopher Columbus.” One of the great challenges for the Gregory Brothers is to keep its fans entertained. As each video grew more popular, they felt increased pressure to top themselves. “YouTube can be a tough audience, for sure,” Andrew said. “If you phone it in, you’re going to get some serious hate.” There was a time when the Gregory Brothers were excited to see one of its videos get more than 1,000 views. These days, videos such as “Bed Intruder Song” have been viewed on YouTube more than 80 million times. Michael said that the key to achieving and maintaining Internet fame is to keep putting out a quality product as often as possible.

Gamers compete in the first Major L eague Gaming Pro Circuit event of the year in Dallas, April 1-3. The tour comes to the Greater Columbus Convention Center June 3-5.

This summer, thousands of video game players and spectators will gather at the Greater Columbus Convention Center to witness the selfdubbed “world’s largest competitive video game competition.” Major League Gaming will be coming to Columbus June 3-5 for the second stop in their Pro Circuit tour this year. Competitors will be playing “Call of Duty: Black Ops” on PlayStation 3, “StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty” on PC and “Halo: Reach” on Xbox 360, Katie Goldberg, vice president of public relations for MLG, said in an email. Each game will be displayed on a massive main stage for spectators to view. However, there are plenty of things to do besides just watch. Hundreds of other gaming stations will be set up, as well as booths scattered with MLG players, products from MLG sponsors, pre-release access to games and more, Goldberg said. This year marks the eighth annual MLG Pro Circuit tour. The tour opened in Dallas, Texas, in April and will continue around the country for six total stops.

To cover the overhead of events that can cost a few million dollars each to put on, MLG turns to sponsors and online tournaments. Sponsors include Dr. Pepper, Doritos, Stride Gum and more. In addition, tournaments that are held on gamebattles. com require an entrance fee, Siegfried said. This season’s Pro Circuit is the largest yet with more than $1 million in prizes, Goldberg said. Games chosen for the events are usually popular. “Competitive gaming leagues are still a young part of the business world, so it can sometimes be tough to keep them afloat. MLG tries to choose high-population online games with dedicated members that will attend events and watch the online streams,” former MLG referee and third-year business student Matt Siegfried said in an email. Players on the tour play for eight or nine months a year, leaving time for an off-season to allow for a break, make team and league changes and to add or remove games from their line-up, Siegfried said. The tour is not the only place that players can compete. Thousands of competitions take place daily on majorleaguegaming.com and are open to the public, Goldberg said. Through online tournaments, players can qualify to play at live Pro Circuit events. In these tournaments, pro status is won. By earning enough points, players or teams of four can make their way into the top 16 seeds and become pro players.

“There are no special requirements for becoming a pro if you are good enough and can make it to an event, so it’s something that anyone with dedication can strive to become,” Siegfried said in an email. Once players and teams have won their way into the top 16, they must continue to compete in a three-day double-elimination tournament to make it to the top eight in order to win prizes. The team that wins the national championship in “Halo: Reach” will receive $100,000. The “Starcraft II” national champion will win $50,000 and the “Call of Duty: Black Ops” winners will receive $50,000, Siegfried said. “I play ‘Call of Duty’ about an hour a day,” Daniel Eschliman, a second-year in pre-mechanical engineering said. “Playing in front of an audience with a team would require a lot of communication.” Kendra Schmoll, a third-year in political science, said the difficulty of the event makes it appealing “I am sure that the challenges of playing maybe worth seeing and I am probably going to check it all out,” she said. Spectator passes are on sale at www.majorleaguegaming.com for $20 until May 6. After May 6 prices will increase to $25. Doors will open at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, located at 400 N. High St., at 1:30 p.m. on June 3 and the competition begins at 5:30 p.m. The tournament will also be streamed at the MLG website.
