8A Youth vote the bullseye of Obama’s radar

President Barack Obama speaks to a crowd of about 14,000 at the Schottenstein Center at OSU May 5 during his “Ready To Go” Rally, which kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign.

ANDREW KELLER Lantern reporter keller.600@osu.edu Student loan reform and access to college were two main speaking points at President Barack Obama’s second visit to Ohio State in as many months. OSU communication professor Erik Nisbet said the topics themselves are important, but the points have more relevance because of who they target, Obama kicked off his re-election campaign at the Schottenstein Center Saturday to a crowd of about 14,000 people at his “Ready To Go” Rally.

A look inside the Obama rally

At the rally, Obama lobbied for youth votes. The votes of people under 30 tilted the election in Obama’s favor in 2008, and he said he hopes to use his favor with young voters in 2012. But the continuing economic malaise might erode the lead he originally had and make the ÿght for youth voters more difÿcult. “I think he’s going to have more challenges in 2012,” Nisbet said. “He’s no longer a new face.” Obama won the youth vote by a wide margin in 2008, with 66 percent of voters under 30 choosing him against John McCain, according to a 2008 analysis by Pew Research Center. Nisbet suggested that this was because Obama presented himself as

a fresh brand to a group of young people who had already become profoundly disillusioned with the past eight years of politics. “He was younger, and his methods resonated after eight years of a Republican administration,” Nisbet said. “He was effective at using social media and the Internet, which reached out to young people.” However in this campaign, Obama has lost his brand effectiveness, Nisbet said. Additionally, youth voters, some of whom are graduating and facing the true difÿculties of the still-lingering recession, might be less likely to vote for him.

Students protest for young people’s rights LINDSEY BARRETT Lantern reporter barrett.684@osu.edu While President Barack Obama was inside the Schottenstein Center Saturday rallying supporters for his re-election campaign, a student group was outside trying to get people ÿred up about its own cause. About a dozen students stood outside passing out ° iers and urging students and other attendees to re-imagine a university without corporate greed. A ° ier read: “Imagine if you found out that your tuition has doubled in a decade, and will only continue to rise. Imagine if the cost of parking went up, and the OSU workers that maintained them were replaced by complete outsiders to Ohio State. Imagine if you had no say over

any of these decisions. It’s not just your imagination.” Andrew Lin, a third-year in sociology, was among the group outside the Schottenstein Center. He said corporate greed is a problem because a majority of the members serving on OSU’s Board of Trustees have ties to corporations, and they make the decisions that affect the university, with one of those decisions being parking privatization. President E. Gordon Gee sent an email to students, faculty and staff on April 23 to announce that the administration had issued a Request for Proposals from companies interested in leasing parking operations. The deadline for bids is May 30, when the administration will recommend a decision for the board to vote on at its June meeting, Gee said in the email.

Members from former Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign parked their bus on OSU’s campus all day May 5.

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney made his presence known on Ohio State’s campus Saturday during President Barack Obama’s kickoff campaign, keeping his bus at the Fawcett Center throughout the rally. Ryan Williams, a national spokesperson for Romney’s campaign, said the Romney bus had been parked at the Fawcett Center throughout the morning with student volunteers coming in and out campaigning for Romney and making phone calls during Obama’s efforts to rally Ohioans. Romney will be appearing at Stamco Industries Co. in Euclid, Ohio, near Cleveland at 1:50 p.m. Monday. This marks his second recent appearance in Ohio as he stopped in Westerville at Otterbein University on April 27. Williams said there were about 50 students who campaigned for Romney throughout the morning. Williams was one of about 14,000 that attended Obama’s “Ready To Go” Rally at the Schottenstein Center. Williams said he was not impressed with the turnout or the rally that kicked off Obama’s re-election campaigns.

“Voters know many of the president’s promises that he made are as empty as the several thousand empty seats in that arena,” Williams said. Romney knows the importance of Ohio, Williams said, and he will be campaigning hard there. “No Republican has not won Ohio who has gone to the presidency in many years,” Williams said. “It’s a state that we take very seriously and we’ll campaign in it vigorously.” In a letter on Romney’s campaign site signed by the former Massachusetts governor himself, he discusses the issue of jobs and unemployment in Ohio. “But you’ve now had three years to turn things around. The record of those three years is clear. Your policies have failed, not only in Ohio, but across the nation,” the letter states. During his address, Obama ÿrst complimented Romney, saying he has raised a great family and worked well at a ÿnancial ÿrm and running the state of Massachusetts. “But I think he has drawn the wrong lessons from those experiences,” Obama said. “He sincerely believes that if CEOs and wealthy investors like him make money, the rest of us will automatically prosper as well.”

Although some opponents might say the economy should be fixed by now, President Barack Obama kicked off his re-election campaign with a focus on how he still wants to fix the economy. At his “Ready To Go” Rally at the Schottenstein Center Saturday, Obama spoke about the importance of keeping jobs in America, making college more affordable and giving all Americans the chance to succeed financially. “This crisis took years to develop and the economy is still facing headwinds,” Obama said. “It will take persistent effort, yours and mine, for America to recover. That’s the truth, but we are making progress.” Brian Agness, a fourth-year in political science, said that before the president’s speech, he expected Obama to focus largely on the economy. “We haven’t seen the recovery in the economy that people were expecting by now,” Agness said. “It’s an issue that has to be addressed.” Agness said that because the economy is such an important topic to college students who will be looking for jobs in the near future, he thought Obama needed to reassure college voters that America is on the right track. “The economy is a hell hole. If you ask the average person, they will probably tell you that they don’t know when the economy is going to bounce back,” Agness said. “Everyone is concerned about the economy, but especially students.” To an audience of about 14,000, Obama said the economy would benefit in the future by making college more affordable. He said he wants to give two million more Americans the chance to go to community college and learn the skills businesses are looking for. “In this country, people succeed when they have a chance to get a decent education and learn a skill,” Obama said. Agness said he was impressed with Obama’s focus on the economy’s future and not just the present problems. “For the first time in this election, someone is looking to the future with the economy, and not just focusing on the here and now. That is extremely important to me,” Agness said. Amrita Mukhopadhyay, a fourth-year in biology, said she agreed with the president’s stance that making education affordable would help the economy. “Education in America is highly regarded worldwide. Both of my parents came to the states for college,” Mukhopadhyay said. “More people should have the chance to study here and be trained for good jobs. I like what he had to say about education and the economy.”

GREEK LIMO PARTY The Greek community rented several limos to transport Greek students from 15th Avenue and Indianola Avenue to the Ohio Union for the Greek Awards on May 6.

Youth from 1A “I think youth voters are frustrated by the economy in terms of job prospects, so their mood is less conducive to turnout and participation in terms of economic worry,” Nisbet said. “And I think the Republicans have gotten savvy in terms of technology and in terms of politics.” Ryan Williams, a spokesperson for former Gov. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, said the president failed to talk about his poor economic record at the rally Saturday. “His solution to every problem in Washington (D.C.) is simply to raise taxes and not cut government and make the hard decisions that are required to maintain the long-term state of this country,” Williams said. Drew Stroemple, a second-year in economics and political science and president of OSU College Republicans, said youth voters are largely disillusioned with Obama. Their voting behavior, he said, will be affected by their inability to get jobs out of college. “In the end, students know that what matters is getting a job,” Stroemple said. “We can say that your best chance of having a job when you graduate is electing Mitt Romney.” Mallory Kimble, a second-year in business administration and president of the OSU College Democrats, disagreed and said the economic difficulties will make youth voters look to Obama even more, as his policies resonate with their concerns. “I do think the youth vote is going to be similar to what it was in 2008, because we’ve been dealing with student loans and increasing funding for grants, and these are issues directly affecting young Americans,” Kimble said. “Honestly, I don’t think the Romney campaign will fare well with youth voters.”

Protest from 1A The minimum bid is $375 million for a 50-year lease, but Gee told The Lantern he expects to receive a higher bid. “My expectation is that if we’ve done the right things, that we will get a substantially higher bid, so I’m just betting that we’re going to get the $400 million,” Gee said. Lin said Gee’s proposal to privatize parking is an example of the administration ignoring dissenting voices. “What (Gee) said was a lie,” Lin said. “Something like 85 percent of faculty are against the deal. He’s only pretending to listen to the community.” Some students and community members from the group Don’t Sell Our University responded to Gee’s email with a protest of parking privatization on High Street in front of the Union May 1. Cruz Bonlarron, a second-year in political science, said that while the group outside the Schottenstein Center Saturday supports groups like Don’t Sell Our University and Stand Your Ground, it is not affiliated with them. He said the group Saturday is comprised of “independent student activists.” Lin and others said the student body should also have a say in decisions concerning rising tuition and student loan debt, the number of years spent living on campus and the proposed Dallas Cowboys’ Silver Star Merchandising deal. The proposed deal with Silver Star would give the company exclusive rights to OSU apparel, ending 124 existing apparel contracts the university has with other companies. OSU’s United Students Against Sweatshops has been protesting the possible contract due to Silver Star’s use of overseas sweatshops since Autumn Quarter, and OSU has been in talks with Silver Star regarding the contract since spring 2010. The group on Saturday has organized a two-day event May 16 and 17 on the South Oval where some faculty members are to bring their students for the day to engage them in discussions about what would happen if students, faculty and staff had a say in how the university is run, Bonlarron said.

Romney from 1A Tyler Byrum, a member of the OSU College Republicans and a second-year in engineering physics, told The Lantern that Obama has no right to criticize Romney as a millionaire. “It was hypocritical for Obama to say those things because he himself is a millionaire,” Byrum said. “I just felt like what he addressed about Romney, it was all low-blow partisan bias.” The president said Romney doesn’t understand that productivity does not necessarily equal income. “He doesn’t seem to understand that maximizing profits by whatever means necessary, whether through layoffs or outsourcing or tax avoidance or union-busting, might not always be good for the average American or for the American economy,” Obama said. Williams said Obama has a record of job loss and

Obama told the crowd potential Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is not the right man to fix America’s economic woes. “Romney says that our productivity equals our income,” Obama said. “The problem with our economy isn’t that the American people aren’t productive enough. The challenge we face right now, the challenge that we have faced almost a decade, is that harder work hasn’t led to higher income. Bigger projects haven’t led to better jobs. Gov. Romney doesn’t get that.” Ryan Williams, national spokesperson for Romney’s campaign, said Obama has a failed economic record.

Nisbet said that though Obama’s pull with youth voters won’t be nearly as strong as it was in 2008, it will still be able to edge out the Romney campaign in numbers. The question, he asked, is by how much. “I am sure that Obama is going to get a majority of youth voters,” Nisbet said. “I don’t think we can expect him to get higher rates. What the Obama campaign hopes for is maybe the same rate, especially in battleground states.” Ujesh Vora, a first-year in biomedical engineering, said policies that pertain to education are important to him and he feels Obama is better suited to address those issues. “Making sure that college is affordable, because I’m considering med school, is definitely important to me, as is health care, because I’m going into a very health-care defined field,” Vora said. “At least as far as the stuff Obama has done in the past four years, it seems he’s making improvements in jobs and health care. And I think he understands the youth a little more than Mitt Romney does.” Jake Young, a third-year in political science, said he thinks it will ultimately come down to who can help the economy more and who can convince students that they are better suited to help create jobs. “A lot of it has to do with college loans and how to get a job,” Young said. “It comes down to the finer details of who’s going to help the economy.” Ultimately, the campaign still has six months to go, Nisbet said. What will really affect young voters will be how the economy and other external factors develop before the November election. “There are a lot of unknowns between now and November,” Nisbet said. “What’s most interesting is what the unknowns are, not what the knowns are.”

“We want open discussion, and we want all of the campus community involved in the discussion,” he said. “If students and faculty get together, they can get (board members) to change their mind. … We want students to be so on board that they push the administration to listen.” Lin said with more than 20 faculty members who have committed to bringing their classes to the South Oval, about 1,000 people are expected to attend. While Obama’s rally might have been an opportunity for the group to raise awareness for its events on the South Oval, Bonlarron said the rally and upcoming election also show the power of students’ voices. “That’s part of the reason why we’re here today,” Bonlarron said. “(Obama) uses rhetoric about student loan forgiveness but he hasn’t shown initiative to make education more affordable. … He may have been elected by youth, but if he’s not following through with his promises, he’s not going to get re-elected by youth.” Some students at the rally shared Bonlarron’s concerns. “I’ve lost faith in politics. It’s a lot of rhetoric and little action,” said Ron Jewsikow, a graduate student in finance. Other students like Tatiana Ashkar, a first-year in political science, disagreed. She called Obama’s and first lady Michelle Obama’s speeches, for about 14,000 people who attended their “Ready To Go” Rally, “flawless” and said Michelle Obama’s speech particularly resonated with her. “We’re just like her, struggling for fair tuition,” Ashkar said. “Everyone deserves a college education.” Just as students have input and voting power in the next presidential election, Bonlarron said, students should have power in the everyday decisions made at the university level. “We’re one of the largest universities in the nation,” he said. “We need to set the standard for other universities.”

failing policies, so he used the same tactics that he relied on in his 2008 campaign. “The speech the president gave was a cut-andpaste job and rehash of what he did in 2008. Except now the president has a record,” Williams said. “A record of higher taxes and job losses and exploding deficits.” The national unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when Obama took office in January 2009 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In March, the official unemployment rate was at 8.2 percent. The national unemployment rate hit an all-time high in October 2009 at 10.0 percent.

www.thelantern.com “The president came here and did what he’s continued to do his entire campaign which is talk about anything but his failed economic record and his disappointing policies that have not created jobs for working Americans,” Williams said. Sam Zuidema, a first-year in history, said he was open to giving Obama a chance prior to his speech, but is now convinced he will vote for Romney. “I wasn’t very impressed,” Zuidema said. “I don’t think his message has changed much from 2008, when he focused on how bad the economy was. It has been a slow, grueling recovery, and I don’t think he fulfilled his promises. Everyone thought that the economy would be better than it is now.”

One local theater company is choosing to be anything but typical when it comes to the classic works of Shakespeare. The Drake Oration Company will be putting on a staged reading of a French playwright’s adaptation of “Macbeth” at the Columbus Performing Arts Center’s Shedd Theatre, located at 549 Franklin Ave. Amy Drake will direct the performance, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Friday. In fall 2011, Drake took a graduate research class in theater at Ohio State from Beth Kattelman, an assistant professor of theater and libraries. Kattelman assigned the class a project in which they had to use an object relating to Shakespeare from a theater research institute. “The object I found was the 1790 script of JeanFrancois Ducis’ ‘Macbeth.’ I was very intrigued by the production because it’s so different from Shakespeare’s work,” Drake said. “I wanted to explore why that was and found out that he wanted to introduce Shakespeare to the French stage.” The 1790 script by Ducis is on display in the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library as part of the Shakespeare exhibition. Ducis was a successful French playwright during the 18th century and introduced Shakespeare to many countries, such as Spain, Italy and Argentina, Drake said. During the time Ducis was translating plays, Shakespeare was relatively unknown to the French audience and was often considered vulgar, Drake said. Ducis translated “Macbeth” in a way that could be understood and appreciated by the French audience. “I was very curious about what it would look like staged, so it started this whole project which is coming together as a production,” Drake said. Thomas Shafer, who will play Macbeth, said this version provides a different outlook on Shakespeare’s work.

‘Macbeth’ is scheduled to be performed at 8 p.m. May 11 at the Columbus Performing Arts’ Shedd Theatre. The production will be performed as a stage reading, and actors will wear all-black clothing instead of elaborate costumes. “We’re doing a staged reading rather than a fully produced play, so we can focus on the dialogue and add in some movements to reinforce the words,” Drake said. In Ducis’ adaptation of the play, the original character of Lady Macbeth is referred to as Frédégonde. “Even though I think Lady Macbeth is a very strong character in the Shakespeare version, I think her role is even more obvious and striking in this part,” said Leslie Robinson, who will play Frédégonde. “She’s such a strong, ambitious and evil character, which is always fun to play.”

An Ohio Union Activities Board advertisement published in The Lantern and other publications May 2 publicized Anderson Cooper is scheduled to visit campus May 30 at Mershon Auditorium. The organization has not announced a visit from Cooper via Twitter, Facebook or on its website. Cooper, anchor of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” and host of his self-titled talk show, “Anderson,” was listed among acts presented by OUAB that are scheduled to come to campus in May. Cooper was the only act in the advertisement that has not been announced online. OUAB declined to comment on Cooper being included in the advertisement or coming to campus. Katie Krajny, OUAB adviser, said the organization typically announces its events online, not in print. “We usually try to synchronize our processes, announcing an event on Twitter and Facebook and making the event ‘live’ on our website at the same time,” Krajny said in an email. A CNN spokeswoman did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Audiences assemble for ‘Avengers’ record “The Avengers” didn’t only break opening weekend box office records, it Hulk-smashed them, and Hollywood is likely going to piggy-back on its success for a while. The film opened to an estimated $200.3 million in its North American debut, obliterating the previous record held by last year’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” by more than $30 million. “The Avengers” is certainly helped along by IMAX 3-D ticket sales, which cost several dollars more than the price of a standard 2-D ticket at most theater chains. Regardless, “The Avengers” opening weekend haul is staggering. “The Avengers” should easily surpass $1 billion in total worldwide revenue in the coming weeks. It’s already estimated to finish the weekend with $641.8 million in worldwide ticket sales after debuting internationally a week before it did in North America. With its success, “The Avengers” is going to cause a snowball effect for the rest of the industry.

This adaptation has not been performed in modern times, and the audience will get a different experience out of this than traditional Shakespeare pieces, Robinson said. “Thinking of it as something that’s a diversion while maintaining the essence of Shakespeare is what we’re going far,” Drake said. Drake said she feared the play might seem “talky” to some audience members, so to offset that, she added in some magical elements, illusions and movement to bring the production together. Admission to the event is in the form of donations, which will be used to cover the costs of the theater.

Al ex Antonetz antonetz.3@osu.edu something Warner Bros. and DC would find especially appealing on the heels of “The Avengers” success. A Justice League film adaptation was actually planned, cast and set to film, but was shelved in 2007, probably for the better. Considering the film would have starred D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Batman, rapper Common as Green Lantern and Adam Brody (“The O.C.”) as The Flash, it would have likely been a disaster. Current actors playing those characters are Christian Bale as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. Bale and current Batman director Christopher

Nolan said “The Dark Knight Rises,” slated for release July 20, is their last Batman film, but could you imagine those two teaming up one more time on a Justice League film? It would probably even break records set by “The Avengers.” Of course, there will likely be sequels to “The Avengers,” too. That’s how Hollywood works. Plus, for those of you who have seen the film and stuck around during the end credits, it’s plainly obvious that a follow-up is planned. Audiences shouldn’t expect superhero and comic book film adaptations to go out of style, either. In the case of “The Avengers,” Marvel should keep it up. It was the first Marvel film to truly leave me awestruck. If a sequel can be just as good, why not do it? But quality level isn’t what really matters, anyhow. It’s about how much money it will make, and Disney and Marvel executives probably already have dollar signs burnt into their corneas at the prospect of it turning into a franchise. “The Avengers” will stay a box office boon. Because of it, so will comic book movies for the foreseeable future.

‘The Avengers,’ which hit theaters May 4, is estimated to have grossed $200.3 million in its North American opening weekend, which would be a new record.

studentvoice Obama’s visit presented journalistic experience, challenge

CODY COUSINO/ Photo editor

President Barack Obama speaks to a crowd of about 14,000 at the Schottenstein Center at OSU May 5 during his “Ready To Go” Rally, which kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign. EDITORIAL It’s a big deal when the president comes to town. President Barack Obama has visited Ohio State’s campus three times in the past two years, and barring the exceptions of probably OSU Police and a few others, not many quite know what a big deal it is like The Lantern staff.

Most of us on staff at The Lantern were involved in some way in covering all three of those visits, and as budding journalists, we are thankful to have the opportunity to cover an event that will help us hone our political reporting skills. Thousands of people from all over the state, and possibly even farther, ˜ ock to see the president. Streets are shut down, the Secret Service is in town,

surrounding businesses revamp their workforces and for days in advance, the anticipation builds. The sentiments in the newsroom mirror that of the excited community. Not even considering the main angle of covering the president’s speech, each of those people in attendance has a story. Who are they? Where did they come from? Why are they there? What convicted them to drive the many miles to see Obama in person, rather than just watching the live feed on their computer? The days leading up to the visit always prove eventful in the newsroom. Discussion of spin-off stories dominates daily news meetings. What angles can we come up with? How can we make sure we tell every story there is to be told? The anticipation becomes palpable as everything begins to fall into place and the moment Obama and his ÿrst lady deplane Air Force One gets closer. Obama kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign at the Schottenstein Center Saturday at his “Ready To Go” Rally in front of a crowd of about 14,000, and The Lantern was all over it. As editors and reporters at OSU’s student newspaper, we recognize our responsibility to do an event like this justice and cover it without bias. Those 14,000 people came to see the president, and as journalists, we need to make evident with words and multimedia coverage why those people came. But it’s for all of the people who didn’t get to attend that we write. The Lantern aims to keep

everyone, near and far from campus, up to date on what’s happening. The Obama campaign was live streaming the event online, but that doesn’t give the viewer a real, tangible feeling of what it was like to be there. A live stream doesn’t talk to people down in the pit, covered with sweat and ÿred up about their president. A live stream doesn’t let the viewer know that people had to cover their ears when campaign leaders’ voices reached a decibel the microphones couldn’t properly transmit. A live stream might not capture the children testing out how slippery the Schott’s ˜ oor was as Obama delivered his speech. And a live stream won’t portray the trembling voice of an excited man dressed in a suit who traveled from Youngstown and was about to meet the president. As journalists, we have a great responsibility. We have to diligently use words and multimedia to allow those who can’t attend an event to vicariously live in that moment. We have to put our political afÿliations aside and cover events without bias. And after we’ve done our absolute best, we have to take the criticism of those for whom we didn’t succeed and learn from it. But as journalists, we also have a great privilege. We get to wake up everyday and do the thing we love. Sometimes what we’re doing is mundane and keeps us stationary in front of computers. But sometimes, we get to cover a visit from the leader of the free world.

Anniversary of bin Laden’s death a chance to move forward

PATRICK SEAWORTH seaworth.1@osu.edu

LANTERN columnist

I was sitting in a world religions seminar on Sept. 11, 2001. I had just turned 16. As I sat amongst my classmates and our teacher, I am not sure that I even heard the headmaster banging on the locked door, demanding that our teacher turn off his television. It was a seminar in which we were to learn all of the tenets of this world’s religions. Instead we witnessed all the perversions of religion. We watched silently, as the headmaster banged on the door, until the Twin Towers fell. Years later, I came across a picture I took of the Financial District from one of New York City’s ferries in 1999. In this photo, the towers stood in a

different time, a different world. But when a plane ˜ ew toward the towers two years later, what was a means of transportation emerged from years

of hijackings as a terrorist’s avenue of destruction. In early January 2005, I stood looking down into Ground Zero and I began to wonder what became of that world. As I slowly drank my coffee, lit my cigarette and began to walk away, the thought of the death of Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida and mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks, was nowhere within my mind. A loved one at my side, only the thought of loss was in my mind, as I threw away my coffee, stomped out my cigarette and pulled her under my arm. On Sept. 10, 2011, I inadvertently ended a 13-mile run at that same spot, and on

Sept. 12, 2011, I stood just on the other side of where I stood that cold January night, a fence still there. I walked among young trees, memorial pools, clear skies, American ˜ ags and families, with the ever-present dim sound of water falling. And there, just months after the man who had cleared that space with redeÿ ning violence was placed into the sea, I was sure that the decade of Osama had come to an end. And with his death nowhere in my mind, I exhaled. Families forever torn apart by that day will never know what world that little picture held. Weddings, graduations, proms and playoff games occur without parents and spouses;

ofÿ ces still miss loyal employees, colleagues and loved ones. Yet as I stood there, looking down into the memorial pools, what was clear is that although those families live a life without their loved ones, unlike bin Laden, those losses will never be conÿ ned to a page in history. Their names forever engraved, imbued with the spirit tears were shed for, are forever with us, reminding us the names of Sept. 11 are not Osama bin Laden and those of the hijackers, but those that were taken from us. As the ÿ rst anniversary of bin Laden’s death came and went, we can begin to hope the evil have become conÿ ned to the pictures of the past 10

years, while the strength of the victims’ families, the soldiers and diplomats, the politicians and the volunteers build a span between that old picture and the world we embark into. There are still countless years of loss and sacriÿ ce to come, but like the building of that World Trade Center memorial, these years will be measured by choices we will make and not by choices brought halfway around the world with the belief that America can be measured in loss.

The Two-State Illusion Would it solve the Middle East problem? There seems to be almost universal consensus that in order to bring peace to the Middle East the creation of a Palestinian state is unavoidable. What is more, such a “solution” is the policy of the United States.

After much bloody fighting over the decades, other efforts were made to create an additional state for the The lesson of Gaza. In previous hasbarah Arabs (who by then called themselves “Palestinians”). (educating and clarifying) messages we made clear There was the Peel Partition Plan of 1937, and, most that a Palestinian state would be impossible for Israel importantly perhaps, the United Nations Partition to accept. It would lead inevitably to Israel’s Plan of 1947. Under the UN plan, the territory west of destruction. The reason is primarily the lesson the Jordan River was to be split, with the major learned from the Gaza experiment. Under pressure portion to be allocated to the Arabs and the smaller, from most of the world, Israel evacuated Gaza, disconnected, portion going to the Jews. Jerusalem, a displacing hundreds of families who had lived there bone of contention, was to be “internationalized” – it for generations and who had built substantial would not belong to either. The communities and extensive agricultural installations. “...the ultimate goal is not... Jews, anxious to form their state, accepted this plan under Instead of making even the which they were granted only a a Palestinian state... least gesture of acknowledgment and but the destruction of Israel.” small fraction of the “Palestine” that they had been promised to gratitude, the Palestinians, be their homeland by the almost from the very first day Balfour Declaration and by the mandate of the of their “liberation” from the hated Jews, began to lob League of Nations. But the Arabs rejected the rockets into Israel. Ultimately, Israel was forced to partition out of hand. Almost the same day that Israel defend itself against those attacks and invaded Gaza declared its statehood and its independence, six Arab in force. There was much damage and many armies invaded Israel from north, east and south. In casualties. As could be expected, “world opinion” what could be called a Biblical miracle, the ragtag condemned Israel’s defensive action and called it Jewish forces defeated the combined Arab might. “disproportionate.” Following the Six-Day War of 1967, in which Israeli If Israel were foolish enough to yield to the forces defeated the combined invasion forces of unrelenting pressure and were to turn Judea/Samaria Egypt, Syria and Jordan, Israel offered generous (the “West Bank”) over to the Palestinians, it would terms for the formation of a Palestinian state. But it find itself surrounded by enemies, whose ultimate was not accepted. Instead, the Arabs convened in goal is not the creation of a Palestinian state but the Khartoum (Sudan) and pronounced their famous destruction of Israel – to use the common rhetoric, to Three No’s: No peace with Israel, No negotiations wipe Israel off the map and push the Jews into the with Israel, No recognition of Israel. Other offers of sea. statehood were made over the course of the years. Statehood opportunities rejected. The reality is Ehud Barak, then prime minister of Israel, and U.S. that the Palestinians are not really interested in their President Bill Clinton offered the Palestinians almost own independent state. Such a state never existed total withdrawal to the 1967 armistice lines. The and the concept of a “Palestinian” people is a fairly Palestinians rejected the offer, presumably because it new one. If the Palestinians were really interested in did not include Israel’s willingness to accept their own state, if that were their aspiration, they hundreds of thousands of Palestinian “refugees,” who could have had such a state side-by-side with Israel, would with one stroke accomplish what the Arabs for a very long time. The first partition of Palestine – had not accomplished in their wars: the destruction all of which, by the Balfour Declaration and by the of Israel. The creation of a Palestinian state could mandate of the League of Nations was to be the have been accomplished many times. But it is the Jewish home – occurred in 1921. Winston Churchill, unalterable goal of the Palestinians, indeed of most who was then the Colonial Secretary, split the Arabs and most Muslims, to destroy the Jewish state mandated territory, allocating the great bulk to the and never to recognize and legitimize Israel in Arabs for the creation of what is now the Kingdom of whatever shape and size as a Jewish state. Jordan. But, of course, that did not satisfy the Arabs. It is important to understand that the creation of a Palestinian state is not the true ultimate goal of the Arabs. It is, at best, meant to be a stepping stone toward the ultimate goal: the destruction, the disappearance of Israel and of the hated Jews from any portion of what they consider “holy Muslim soil.” The Arabs are not interested in putting an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people. That could have been accomplished long ago. On the contrary, to be martyrs is a source of pride and assurance of victory to the Arabs. They compare their willingness to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of their own with the Zionist enemy, who is concerned about combat losses or even the fate of one single abducted soldier.

Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Former Ohio State men’s soccer goalkeeper Matt Lampson traded in his scarlet and gray jersey for the black and gold of Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew, and came back to campus to show off his new colors last week. Lampson makes his living as a professional at Crew Stadium, but the former Buckeyes keeper made a successful, albeit rain-shortened return to OSU’s Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium Tuesday for the Connor Senn Memorial Match between the Buckeyes and Crew. With the Crew leading, 4-0, the game was halted in the 31st minute by referees after a storm swept over the stadium. Crew coach R obert Warzycha said it was hard to rate the player’s performance after watching him for just more than half an hour. Still, Lampson got the start in goal and said he was eager to make the most of it. “It felt great playing against the old guys,” Lampson said. “I don’t want to say I hope we could put more in because I don’t want to say I was pouring it on, but I wish we could have finished out the game at the very least, or at least the half.” Warzycha, who has guided Columbus to a 2-4-2

record in 2012, said the game was a special moment for Lampson. “H e wanted so bad to be between the posts and he got the chance (Tuesday),” Warzycha said. “That’s a special moment for him. It’s his former team, so you want to do the best you can.” Perhaps feeling outmatched by their professional opponents, Lampson said his former OSU teammates told him they planned to take shots any time they found open space, regardless of the location on the field. The Crew’s defensive line proved too strong for the Buckeyes, as OSU did not register an on-target shot in the match. Lampson said he knew he had to be ready, though. “I thought my team (the Crew) played very well today from the get-go,” Lampson said. “I mean, what can you do? It’s a professional team.” Crew president and general manager Mark McCullers signed Lampson to his first professional contract on D ec. 14. While watching Lampson make his OSU return, McCullers said he could only imagine what must have been going through the backup goalkeeper’s mind. “H e’s played so many games here. N ow, he’s in the black and gold and kind of achieved his dream of being a professional player and being a part of the Crew program,” McCullers said. “A nd now to come

back, and to be able to give back by participating in this match that he’s so familiar with and been a part of. It’s got to be a great feeling for him.” Lampson’s days as a decorated student-athlete are behind him, as are his 24 career OSU shutouts and the 0.86 goals-against average he posted in 56 appearances for the Buckeyes. For a moment, it seemed Lampson’s allegiances might still lie with the Buckeyes as he congratulated his former teammates on a well-played game afterward as rain pelted the metal bleachers of his former playing field. “I thought the Buckeyes played hard,” he said. But Lampson finds himself fighting for playing time with the Crew, having been an unused substitute in each of the team’s first eight games in the 2012 season. OSU coach John Bluem said he hopes the appearance against the Buckeyes was a sign of things to come for Lampson. “To see this coming true for Matt Lampson, to see a local — you know, (he) grew up here in Columbus, went to Ohio State — and to now play for the Crew. It’s a great story,” Bluem said. “We’re very happy to see him get a chance to play (Tuesday). “I hope he gets the chance to play more for Columbus this year.”

OSU baseball breaks out brooms for Northwestern series Dariu s T hig pen Lantern reporter thigpen.9@osu.edu The Ohio State baseball team won 4-1 Sunday to sweep N orthwestern in a three-game series over the weekend. The Buckeyes (27-20, 11-10 Big Ten) swept the Wildcats (16-29, 5-16 Big Ten) while holding them to just three runs for the entire series. The winning pitcher for OSU Sunday was sophomore John Kuchno, who went six innings and allowed one run on six hits and improved his record to 7-3 in 2012. Sunday’s win was capped off by Josh D ezse, who picked up his sixth save of the season. D ezse, a sophomore first baseman and closer, said although each game was a must-win, the team remained relaxed throughout the series. “A couple guys kept the pressure down,” D ezse said after Sunday’s win. “In the dugout joking around, having fun and staying loose, I think that helped. We have this goal (to make the Big Ten tournament) and we’re going to make it. I think that’s the locker room thought right now.” Saturday featured a doubleheader after the Friday game was canceled due to rain and lightning. Game two was a 7-1 win for the Buckeyes. The night belonged to junior left-hander Brian King, who took a perfect game into the eighth inning. Junior Colby Everett broke up the perfect game bid on the first pitch of the eighth with a single to center field.

King improved to 4-3 with the win and pitched a complete game allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts. “(The perfect game) was in the back of my head,” King said after his win Saturday. “It’s just a tough thing to do. Once it gets broken up you just have to pick up your game and pitch to win. I had all three pitches today and put them where I wanted so I could keep them off balance.” Although King was the one who pitched seven innings of perfect baseball, he said the offense helped him. “The runs are awesome,” King said. “You can just go out there and throw your game and not have to worry about anything. That really helped for tonight, them putting up runs and I could kind of coast and just hit my spots.” Game one was a 3-1 OSU win which featured sophomore pitcher Jaron Long’s fifth win of the season to improve to 5-2 and lower his ERA to 1.90, the best among OSU starters. Long pitched eight innings and only allowed one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters. Coach Greg Beals said Long didn’t have his best stuff Saturday, but competed for a win. “I was really impressed with Jaron Long, with subpar stuff tonight,” Beals said after Saturday’s doubleheader. “Jaron had probably, from a stuff standpoint, his worst start. But he competed his tail off and fought his way through a ballgame and got us eight innings deep. That was a gritty performance on his part without his ‘A’ game.”

OSU freshman catcher Aaron Gretz takes a swing during a game against Northwestern May 6. OSU won, 4-1. Late in the game, Beals made a visit to the mound after Long allowed runners into scoring position. Long said he told Beals he wasn’t going to come out of the game and got himself out of a jam. “(Beals) just kind of came out there and asked how I was feeling, asked if I was tired,” Long said. “Obviously I didn’t have my best stuff, so he wanted to make sure that I was confident. I told him I was feeling good, as long as he thought it was my game.

We talked it over and agreed win or lose I was going to be out there.” N ext OSU will play a two-game series with Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. starting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The Buckeyes’ final Big ten series is the weekend of May 17 at Indiana. OSU is currently in sixth place in the Big Ten and is one-anda-half games back from a three-way tie for third place with Michigan State, Minnesota and Penn State.

Columbus Clippers 1st baseman Matt LaPorta readies himself at the plate during a May 3 game against the Gwinnett Braves. Columbus won, 12-8.

For some baseball players, the song that plays before they come up to bat serves as a fun way to get them ready to hit. But for one player on the Columbus Clippers, the walk-up song means a little bit more. When Clippers first baseman Matt LaPorta approaches the plate, the song that blasts over the speakers reminds him of his faith and his purpose in life. LaPorta’s walk-up song is Christian artist Chris Tomlin’s “I Will Follow.” While his teammates play songs such as LMFA O’s “I’m Sexy and I Know It,” or Snoop D ogg’s “I Want To Make You Sweat,” the piece that blares onto the field when LaPorta steps to the plate says, “Where you go I’ll go / Where you stay, I’ll stay / When you move, I’ll move / I will follow you.” “I play (the song) because my strong faith in God and my belief in him,” LaPorta said. “Basically the song is saying wherever God goes and wherever he’s at, that’s where I want to be.” LaPorta said the minor leagues isn’t exactly where he wants to be, but he seems to be making the most of his situation.

The 27-year-old who was traded from Milwaukee Brewers to the Cleveland Indians is hitting .359, has hit nine home runs and knocked in 20 R BIs this season. Once a major league player, LaPorta said he hopes his strong play will earn him a call-up to the Indians, but for now his walk-up song helps keep him content. “I think it hits home with me because I would love to be in the big leagues but I’m not. I’m in triple A ,” he said. “But you know what, that’s where I feel like God has me right now, and I’m content and happy because I know he’s with me.” H e said although he’s not in the majors, he’s honored to be playing for the Clippers for now. “I’d like to get back to the big leagues, so I have to continue to strive for that,” he said. “But I got to take care of what I can here and focus on my team here.” LaPorta was named the International League Batter of the week for A pril 23-29. H e said it’s an honor to be named with the great ball players in the league but at the end of the day, he knows that his future is in the hands of God. “N o matter where I’m at in my life, I know that God is with me,” he said.
