After 90 years on a quarter system, Ohio State was sure to have some growing pains as the university transitioned from quarters to semesters during the 2012-2013 school year. But as OSU enters its second year of semesters this autumn, some faculty, staff and students are pleased with the conversion thus far.

“I’m shocked how smoothly the transition actually went,” OSU Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Steinmetz said, “given reports that I was aware of from other institutions that had done it and some of the issues that they had during the first year. We avoided a lot of those issues.

“In the end, I would describe (last year’s transition) as remarkably seamless.”

Steinmetz credited the university’s three years of preparation for the conversion, as well as community’s engagement in preparing for the shift, in allowing the first year to go as well as it did.

There were some problems with the transition to semesters, including a different flow of traffic that contributed to several serious accidents involving students, a meal plan change that sparked mixed feedback and a fee overcharge that led to the university refunding Summer Semester students up to $81.

Wayne Carlson, OSU’s vice provost for undergraduate studies and dean of undergraduate education overall agreed with Steinmetz’s assessment though.

“From my personal perspective, the transformation from quarters to semesters went fabulously,” Carlson said. “Better than anticipated in some ways because there were very few glitches in the whole process.”

Jay Hobgood, an associate professor of geography at OSU who also served on the Semester Conversion

I’m shocked how smoothly the transition actually went.

...the autumn semester seems to be very, very long.

I would describe (last year’s transition) as remarkably seamless.

...it disrupts the pattern that had been established for years and years about how students took courses.

Joseph Steinmetz OSU Executive Vice President and Provost Executive Coordinating Committee, said he thought the conversion was “as successful as you can hope for with a university the size and complexity of Ohio State.”

Although these faculty members had a positive outlook on the first year of semesters, they said there were some aspects of the conversion that caused problems.

Steinmetz said one of the main points of feedback he received was that students found the pacing of courses to be challenging.

“They thought that the professors and the instructors had just added more material and expanded the amount of information and discussion, etc., instead of spreading out the same material or the same length,” Steinmetz said. “I couldn’t find a lot of evidence for that except the fact that I think that this was a real perception by the students.”

Steinmetz said he was unsurprised that students felt that way.

“In the past, the full load essentially would have been three courses. Then all of a sudden you have five courses,” Steinmetz said. “I really think that was noticed by the students and that’s what was being reported. I suspect as the students get used to the differences in semesters, we’ll hear less about that.”

Michael Bruce, an associate professor in the Department of Dance who also served on the coordinating committee, admitted he did increase the content in one of his courses, but made the course worth more credit hours (three semester hours as opposed to three quarter hours) in the process.

“It’s a great benefit to have those extra weeks, those extra class meetings,” Bruce said. “Those extra weeks allowed me to get much more content in, and the credit hours went up accordingly.”

Food, pens, cups and the chance to learn about local merchants and companies drew an estimated 20,000 students to Ohio State’s sixth annual Buck-i-Frenzy.

In and around the Recreation and Physical Activity Center, local and international vendors and sponsors lined the sidewalks offering free samples of their latest products, services and food to students walking by.

Students carried free tote bags from Old Navy, ate complimentary pizza from Hungry Howie’s, grabbed lotion from Bath & Body Works and wore their free Buck-i-Frenzy T-shirts.

The band Walk the Moon also performed for about a half hour at the event. The Cincinnati-bred group played an acoustic set, including “Tightrope” and “Next in Line,” closing with its perhaps most well-known song, “Anna Sun.” Even with the draw of live music, some students said the free items were what brought them out Tuesday.

An Ohio State office faced a $100,000 budget cut this summer that led to at least one person being fired and a program being cut.

The College of Arts and Sciences’ Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing budget was cut to $800,000 from roughly $900,000 over the summer amid budget concerns, Arts and Humanities Dean Mark Shanda said.

Shanda told The Lantern Tuesday the CSTW was also restructured to put more focus on student services like the writing center, while ending its outreach programs in the community, such as working with high schoolers and other youths to instill writing skills from a younger age. The center’s minor in professional writing was also moved to the English department, Shanda said.

The initial cause for the restructuring was an external review of CSTW in 2011, he said, which said the writing center was significantly undersized compared to similar universities and suggested it be expanded. Shanda said that review

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design also determined other programs “were straying too far from the core mission of CSTW” and should either be cut or moved to other areas of the university.

While CSTW did have some involvement in the restructuring, CSTW Director Dickie Selfe said the changes were “firmly recommended” by outside forces. A memo from Shanda obtained

Selfe said the 2011 review was entirely positive.

“They said we were doing an amazing job with the number of people we have. I had no inclination that other programs were going to be cut and I didn’t hear any talk about it until the budget shortfall came up,” he said.

Selfe said the remaining programs benefitted from the restructuring, especially the writing center and the Writing Across Curriculum program. The writing center has expanded, and now has locations in Smith Hall, William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library and ParkStradley Hall, Shanda said.

Shanda said he has been working with the provost and hopes to recover $150,000 for CSTW from the international student fee, ultimately increasing the center’s budget.

The need for cuts was exacerbated by an $8 million budget deficit in Arts and Sciences, primarily because of the

campus Turnitin to give professors, students a plagiarism check Madelyn Grant Lantern reporter grant.382@osu.edu Ohio State students may soon notice something new after submitting their papers through Carmen.

As a result of OSU purchasing a three-year license for a program called Turnitin, there will be a new icon next to Carmen dropbox folders where students will be able to view their “OriginalityCheck” report – the percentage of the paper that the program has found to have possibly been plagiarized.

Turnitin compares written compositions against a variety of sources to check for plagiarism and offers grading and peer review features. The program license costs about $105,000 annually, paid for out of the Office of Distance Education and eLearning budget, and the integration with Carmen was completed Aug. 11, Office of the Chief Information Officer Communication Director Katharine Keune said in an email.

Turnitin’s OriginalityCheck feature has been used across campus by various departments, including the Department of Economics, Department of Political Science and Fisher College of Business, for a few years, but this year, things will be different. Prior to the new purchase, each department contracted separately with Turnitin and had different applications of the service.

The OriginalityCheck Report details what percentage of the compared text matches material on the Internet without making judgments about whether or not the text is cited correctly. Instructors will be able to use Turnitin via Carmen, but each instructor will have the choice of whether or not to have students use the program.

Without the new consolidated contract between OSU and Turnitin, OSU would have paid “almost twice as much without covering all of the university departments,” Keune said, adding that the decision was not entirely about cost.

“As important as cost savings are, what is even more important to us is that the use of Turnitin is transparent and we are able to provide universitywide education on the best practices for using it,” Keune said in an email.

Some OSU students think the program is a good idea but won’t affect them much personally.

“If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to fear,” said David Kucia, a first-year in marketing. “I wouldn’t plagiarize to begin with so it wouldn’t really change (my writing).”

Others said their past experiences with similar programs haven’t been entirely positive.

“I don’t think it really spoke truly all the time to be honest,” said Kelsey Shearer, a first-year in business.

She said Turnitin will make her more cautious while writing though.

“I would just try to be a lot more careful than if I knew I didn’t have it,” Shearer said.

ODEE will be hosting two Turnitin workshops the week of Aug. 26 to help with the implementation of the new programs and to help educators understand how Turnitin can be used as an effective teaching tool to help students learn how to properly cite sources, quotes and resources.

Keune said Turnitin isn’t meant to be a plagiarism detection tool.

“OriginalityCheck simply allows users to compare a composition to

a large collection of Internet resources, published papers, and previous student submission,” Keune said.

Mike Hofherr, the associate vice president for ODEE, said in a statement, sent to The Lantern by Keune, instructors should use the program to further students’ learning.

“I hope that instructors take advantage of our workshops to discover some of the best practices for using Turnitin as a way to support our students in their quest to become great writers, researchers, and lifelong learners,” Hofherr said.

The OriginalityCheck citations will be checked over by the instructors and students together to decide whether they need revisions for better citation or indicate that plagiarism has occurred after the paper has been submitted, Keune said.

OSU study: Smokers cost employers $6K more annually Alexa Carson Lantern reporter carson.239@osu.edu Employees who smoke cost their employers almost $6,000 more annually than nonsmokers, according to a recent study conducted by Ohio State researchers.

Lead author Micah Berman, from the College of Public Health and Moritz College of Law, told The Lantern he decided to research this topic when he was asked to give a presentation on policies involving smoking in the workplace, such as smoke-free policies and not hiring smokers. He discovered no studies had been done on the comprehensive costs of employing a smoker versus a nonsmoker.

“It was odd to me that the question hadn’t been answered given that employers were making decisions about smokers in the workplace,” Berman said.

By performing an analysis of previous studies done on individual smoking related expenses to an employer, Berman and his co-authors estimated a $5,816 annual excess expense from discrete costs related to smoking.

These costs include smoke breaks, health care costs, absenteeism and presenteeism, which Berman described as “reduced focus in the workplace due to going through nicotine withdrawal throughout the work day.” The study adjusted for the fact that smokers tend to make less than nonsmokers, and even factored in a “death benefit,” Berman said.

“Companies with defined benefit pension systems may save some money due to the fact that smokers die earlier than non-smokers,” Berman said. “But the cost savings is very minimal.”

Berman said he had expected to find smokers would incur excess costs, but two results of the study surprised him.

“One is the extent of the cost,” said Berman, “and second is the health care costs. Well, everyone’s aware of those, but in fact the majority of the costs weren’t due to health care costs but due to productivity costs from things like smoke breaks.”

Brooke Cavallo, a third-year in strategic communication, said she thinks productivity costs can be an issue between smokers and employers based on what she has seen at work.

“I work in a bar and my most of coworkers do smoke, and we are constantly getting in trouble because they take smoke breaks,” Cavallo said.

Berman said his research takes no position on whether

Semesters from 1A science, though, said the conversion to semesters was “really tough” on him because more classes per semester meant less time for him to focus on classes within his major.

“The conversion from quarters to semesters means for me that I’m changing from having Arabic be one out of four classes to one out of five classes,” Peters said. “That reduces the time that I can spend on Arabic and reduces the likelihood that I become proficient in Arabic so I felt that quarters were a lot better than on semesters.”

Adam Baxter, a second-year in mechanical engineering, had another issue with semesters – classes seemed disorganized.

“I had a lot of classes that, halfway through the semester, they had a switch or change of the syllabus,” Baxter said.

Anne Kelly, a fourth-year in international studies, however, felt the extra time for each class was beneficial.

“They were long enough where you got to get to know your teachers better,” Kelly said. “I think that’ll be really helpful for if you’re trying to get recommendations for an internship or study abroad or something. That’s probably my favorite part.”

Steinmetz, Carlson and Bruce were all in agreement that adding a break to the schedule during Fall Semester is a change that could help make the workload more manageable for students.

“We heard a lot, both from faculty and some students, that the Autumn Semester seems to be very, very long, relative to the Spring Semester,” Steinmetz said. “When we think about this, we think it’s the fact that there’s a spring break that’s in the middle of the Spring Semester. One of the things that we need to take

2A

a look at is the structure of the Autumn Semester going forward. Perhaps putting a break in, perhaps starting a few days earlier, providing additional days between the sessions, those sorts of things all should be on the table and all discussed.”

Carlson said the addition of a fall break would not take place until, at earliest, the 2014-2015 school year.

Kelly was disappointed when she realized that OSU did not have a break during Autumn Semester like many semester schools do.

“I think most colleges do have a fall break, and I was kind of bummed when I found out my friends were not in school,” Kelly said. “That would actually be nice, I would appreciate that.”

In addition to a potential future fall break, Carlson said OSU is considering eliminating the summer commencement ceremony.

“There’s a discussion about number of graduations that’s going on — should we have a summer graduation, or just do it autumn and spring?” Carlson said.

For the 2012-2013 school year, OSU held commencement ceremonies at the end of the fall, spring and summer terms. OSU awarded 10,143 degrees during last year’s spring commencement, but only about 3,000 during autumn commencement and about 1,800 for the summer commencement.

On the quarterly calendar, OSU held four graduation ceremonies, with one after each of the fall, winter, spring and summer terms.

Another benefit of the semester conversion, Steinmetz said, is that it makes the transition to OSU easier for students who transfer from other universities who are on semesters.

“When students are transferring credits in, it’s much easier because of the prevalence of semester schools all around the country,” Steinmetz said. “If you look at the numbers of people that are out there that we’re

recruiting as faculty and students, particularly the transfer students, most of the institutions are on semesters.”

Kenny Latham, a second-year in business administration who transferred to OSU this year, said the semester conversion made coming to OSU easier.

“I like the semester system better,” Latham said.

“Less change.”

The conversion created an issue for some returning OSU students, however, as courses that were taken during the era of quarters had to be converted to semester credit hours.

Carlson said that issue should be behind OSU in the university’s second year of semesters.

“The one big worry we had was students that would get caught in the transition, and that’s less of an issue this year because there are fewer students that might get caught in a transitional time,” Carlson said. “The conversion issue won’t be an issue anymore because that was a one-time deal, where we converted quarter credit hours to semester credit hours.”

As a result of the semester conversion, final exams for OSU students end in April or early May each year, whereas they used to end in June on the quarterly calendar. Steinmetz said this is a benefit to students because it gives them more opportunities for internships and studying abroad during the summer.

“There is access to things in summer now that our students didn’t have access before because of being here later,” Steinmetz said. “I’ve heard in discussions I’ve had with students that internships and other experiences that are off the Ohio State campus, they had an easier time, a more accessible time because of the timing.”

Hobgood considered the earlier end to the schedule to be a “direct benefit” of the semester conversion.

“Students had the option to take advantage of study abroad or start their field work earlier than they

continued as Smokers on 4A

would have been able to do under the quarter system,” Hobgood said. “I know that really helped some of our undergraduate students find good internships because they were able to start the internships in early May as opposed to having to wait until later on in June, which was the way it was under the quarter system.”

Hannah Romano, a third-year in actuarial science, prefers being on the same schedule with other semester schools.

“When you go home, most of your friends’ breaks are around the same time, so it makes it a little nicer,” Romano said. “We got out really early, so obviously that was nice, getting out a month early.”

Looking ahead to the second year of semesters, Steinmetz said it is important for the university to re-establish course patterns under the new system.

“When you go from having to develop courses that are taught on the quarter system versus the transition to semesters, it disrupts the pattern that had been established for years and years about how students took courses,” Steinmetz said. “There remains, I think, at the department level, a challenge that will continue this year and I would say next year as well, in trying to establish now what is the new pattern of courses that students take given this calendar with two semesters instead of three quarters.”

Hobgood thinks everyone who teaches “will probably make at least minor adjustments” going into the second year of semesters.

“We all have a year of experience now in the way semesters work here at Ohio State, and so, there will probably be the minor tweaks that the students will notice,” Hobgood said.

OSU’s second year of semesters begins Wednesday with the first day of classes for Fall Semester.

Despite a university budget expansion of $14 million, Arts and Sciences is receiving less funding because students are taking fewer classes within the college, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch.

Despite Shanda’s insistence that CSTW’s restructuring brings the center more in line with its goal of helping students, others said valuable programs have been lost.

Doug Dangler, who was CSTW’s associate director until July 28, lamented the loss of programs such as Writer’s Talk, a popular media project he hosted that featured student interviews of authors. Dangler said there was at least one program director who lost her job as the result of the restructuring, but was uncertain if his own position change was the result of that restructuring. Dangler accepted a different position, eLearning program manager, within Arts and Sciences after his time in CSTW. Chad Weiss was a student employee for Writer’s Talk before graduating after Spring Semester, and said the program was successful, giving students the chance to interview big names like poet Sharon Olds and author R.L. Stine.

before graduating in the spring of 2013, and said she was disappointed that programs like hers were cut.

“All the work that we put into that program was essentially for nothing,” she said. “We were under a lot of pressure to prove we were effective, and I thought we did that.”

Jaya Pillai, a second-year in English, is afraid the cuts to CSTW might have negative consequences.

“Writing is one of my strong suits, but for many people it’s not. So the university is cutting a resource that could help a lot of people who need it,” she said.

Shanda said the university hopes CSTW’s outreach program, which worked with high schools and libraries, can be recovered by other organizations, but expressed some doubt.

“I don’t know if we can recover every outreach connection we’ve had, and that’s hard, because outreach is part of what we’re called to do, but between the options of working with high school students and OSU students, we had to prioritize our students in difficult financial times,” he said.

CSTW is only one of many Art and Sciences programs that faced deep cuts over the summer, according to the Dispatch. OSU Arts Initiative, the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, the Diversity and Identity Studies Collective at OSU and the Foreign Language Center also faced significant cuts.

Shields is also the deputy director at the OSU James Comprehensive Cancer Center and a professor at the College of Medicine. He said cost was a factor in deciding to implement a tobacco-free policy.

“There are other reasons that follow behind that are not necessarily as important,” Shields said, “and one of those is the cost to the university for faculty and staff who continue using tobacco.”

Berman said he had similar beliefs about the policy.

businesses should or should not hire smokers, and focuses on the economical rather than ethical issues related to smoking policies. He believes, however, tobacco cessation programs, which “cost up front but save money over time,” or tobacco-free policies can reduce costs to employers.

Under the tobacco-free policy OSU plans to implement this semester, no tobacco products of any kind are allowed on any OSU property either indoors or outdoors. Previously, the university followed a nonsmoking policy that prevented smoking indoors but had no restrictions on smokeless tobacco or smoking outdoors, except in certain “tobacco-free” areas. The policy began on Aug. 1, but will not be implemented in earnest until January 2014.

Dr. Peter Shields, co-chair of the TobaccoFree Implementation Committee at OSU, said the “first and foremost reason we are going tobacco free is because we want to have a healthier

Buckeye quarterbacks brothers on and off field Eric Seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu When he was told a teammate struck a Heisman pose after he was asked about expectations for the quarterback’s season, Braxton Miller responded with a sheepish chuckle.

The junior Ohio State signal caller then brushed off a question about whether him being a preseason Heisman favorite is discussed much among his peers.

“They don’t talk about it at all,” Miller said, with a smile. “If they see it on ESPN they might mention it to me if they see me walking down the hallway or something, but they don’t really bring it up.”

After being an integral part of an undefeated 2012 Buckeye campaign that saw Miller gain a school record 3,310 total yards of offense, finish fifth in the Heisman voting and be named the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year, lofty expectations have been hard to avoid.

Coach Urban Meyer has not been shy about expressing his gratification toward his quarterback’s progression in fall camp.

“Braxton’s worked very hard. I’m very impressed,” Meyer said Aug. 11 at OSU Media Day. “Him and (offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach) Tom Herman (have) got something really special going on right now. You can see it on the field. You can see his maturity.”

That maturity is helping Herman sleep better at night, mainly because of how much better Miller understands the offensive concepts.

“He’s head and shoulders better than he was, and farther ahead,” Herman said after practice Aug. 19. “I’m not saying he’s a finished product by any stretch of the imagination, but he does make coming to work a little bit easier knowing that he is progressing the way that he is.”

The 20-year-old Huber Heights, Ohio, product ran for 1,271 yards last season, finishing fourth in the Big Ten, and putting his body in harm’s way multiple times with mixed results. Miller was banged up a few times throughout the year, most notably during the Purdue game.

At the end of a 37-yard run during the third quarter of OSU’s 29-22 overtime victory, Miller was slammed to the turf, sustaining injuries to his head, neck and shoulder.

He would not return.

Enter in cool as can be then-redshirt junior Kenny Guiton, asked to be the savior to preserve the Buckeyes’ perfect season.

cody Cousino / For The Lantern

Then-sophomore Braxton Miller looks for an open receiver during a game against Wisconsin on Nov. 17, 2012 at Camp Randall Stadium. OSU won, 21-14.

A career backup, Guiton threw an interception in the fourth quarter before rallying the troops for one final drive, tying the game, then winning it in the extra session to run OSU’s record to 8-0.

Guiton said fans thank him from time to time for his efforts in the Purdue game, but would like to give something else back.

“I do get thanked a lot, and it’s pretty crazy because I want to thank Ohio for giving me this opportunity,” he said, referring to getting a chance to play at OSU. “It’s pretty cool to be out and every once in a while someone notices me.”

Guiton said the thought of leaving OSU has popped into head from time to time from being a career backup, but is happy where he’s at and is here to stay.

“Sometimes it comes up in my head, what if, what if I did this or that,” Guiton said. “But I’m here, I’m happy I came here, it’s a lot of fun. I’m happy with everything going on.”

After being asked if he would be comfortable

if Guiton needed to take the field in the event that Miller could not play, Herman wasted no time saying “without a doubt,” even though Guiton’s arm may not be as strong as Miller’s.

“The big knock on him was that he had all the intangibles that you could ask for of a leader, of a quarterback, knew the offense inside and out, he’s a coach on the field,” Herman said. “But he just didn’t quite have the quick release and velocity on his ball. He makes up for maybe some of that deficiency with his leadership, his anticipation. He’s a rock in my meeting room.”

Herman said his backup QB would be the starter for “at least” half Division I programs in the country.

“His velocity might hinder his ability to do that but at the same time all those intangibles are something that you can’t overlook,” Herman said.

Fox Sports 1 rivaling ESPN good for sports TV

Get the daily email edition!

www.thelantern.com/email

With last Saturday’s launch of Fox Sports 1 across American television sets, ESPN may soon find itself in a long bout in the ratings ring. The new network is owned by Fox Entertainment Matthew Mithoefer Group, and has Senior Lantern reporter been creating mithoefer.3@osu.edu a buzz among sports fans and media outlets since news surfaced of its creation in March.

Sports fans have long cried foul over ESPN’s exaggerated coverage of the biggest sports in the biggest markets. Sportscenter routinely shows long highlights of Miami Heat games at the beginning of its broadcast while holding off news of a big-name hockey trade until the program’s final minutes. When was the last time a Yankees and Red Sox weekend series didn’t end on Sunday Night Baseball? But who can blame them really? At the end of the day it’s a ratings game, and the biggest markets have the

largest number of television sets in them.

This presumed weakness is where I expect Fox Sports 1 to exploit ESPN: sweeping up ratings from large geographical areas that lack the country’s most popular athletes and teams.

Take Fox Sports 1’s debut lineup for example. It featured seven hours of NASCAR coverage followed by five hours of UFC bouts. I highly doubt that many people in their New York City apartment tuned in for a minute of all that, but I know some parts of the country found themselves glued to the couch and their TV set for hours. The new network has deals to begin running select NASCAR events as early as 2015 and will have UFC events on Wednesday nights. They also maintain the rights to air certain soccer events including the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and CONCACAF Champions League.

ESPN will probably see a slow fall from its monopoly over sports coverage, but this has been evident for some time. Some of its biggest names have jumped ship for other networks over the past year. Erin Andrews, Bill Raftery and Charissa Thompson all left “The Mothership” (as NBC Sports and radio personality Dan Patrick refers to his former employer) to join Fox’s crew.

The crucible of this whole debate most likely lies within these networks’ ability to draw ratings in the

11 o’clock hour. Sportscenter has long been the common man’s go-to program at the end of the day for scores and highlights. Fox Sports 1 will air Fox Sports Live at 11 p.m. in an effort to steal viewers from Sportscenter, which has run nonstop in that time slot since its debut in 1979.

One thing’s for certain, ESPN is not going to sit back and wait to see whether or not Fox Sports 1 is a legitimate threat. The network has already thrown its first punch back, announcing the return of former outspoken Sportscenter anchor Keith Olbermann.

The journalist left ESPN under a cloud of controversy in 1997 after referring to the Bristol, Conn., as a “Godforsaken place” during an unauthorized appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”

His show, titled “Olbermann,” will air MondayFriday at 11 p.m. on ESPN2 beginning Aug. 26.

ESPN is surely hoping the rarely polite, but always intriguing figure, is another piece of the puzzle in winning the 11 p.m. hour.

If nothing else, the battle between these two juggernauts over the next few years will be just one more rivalry to keep track of for those like me, addicted to all things competition.

sports Hinton: having interchangeable tight ends ‘allows us to play faster’

Lantern file photo

Then-sophomore Jeff Heuerman catches the winning touchdown against Purdue on Oct. 20, 2012 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 29-22.

Daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Heading into fall camp, the Ohio State football team found itself surrounded by questions of who would step up and start in multiple positions on both sides of the ball.

Tight ends coach Tim Hinton is head of a unit that had such a problem, but you won’t hear a word of complaint from him.

Unlike positions such as the defensive line and linebacker (aside from second team All-Big Ten linebacker Ryan Shazier) who were left with a compilation of young, inexperienced players to choose from, Hinton has two talented tight ends who spent significant time on the field in 2012.

Junior Jeff Heuerman and redshirt sophomore Nick Vannett combined for 17 catches, 217 yards and a touchdown last year, and both are looking to earn a role as the team’s No. 1 tight end.

Hinton, though, is not convinced that there will even be a No. 1 guy this year.

“I think there’s a (No.) 1 and (No.) 1 A, and I think it depends on what we’re doing. Each has certain strengths that they are better than the other at,” Hinton said. “I don’t feel uncomfortable with either one going in and playing a whole game nor do I feel uncomfortable spotting them in the right places.”

When asked if the Buckeyes would look to employ a two tight end set, a system gaining traction in today’s NFL landscape, Hinton made it clear he likes the idea of multiple tight ends.

“We certainly want to stretch some football teams and put two tight ends out there and have to play spread football from two tight ends, and hopefully we can do a great job of that,” Hinton said.

During camp, both tight ends have been developing a chemistry on the field that can really help the team, according to Heuerman.

“We work really well together. This offense is so fast and up-tempo and demanding, especially on the tight ends and all the things we have to do,” Heuerman said. “It’s almost impossible for it just to be run with one tight end. Him and I complement each other really well and I think together it’ll be a fun year to watch.”

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman has seen the advantage that having both Heuerman and Vannett can bring to the offense.

“The good thing about us being no huddle is we don’t have to take those guys off the field. We don’t have a blocking tight end and a pass-catching tight end. We’ve got two tight ends that can line up and do both things,” Herman said. “It allows us to play faster, it allows us to keep the entire offense in as a one personnel group.”

Hinton said the use of an uptempo offense with more than one tight end gives OSU an advantage over their opponent.

“The whole premise of being no huddle is to keep the defense on the field and get them running around, get them tired. If you’re subbing guys out that have specialty roles, then the defense is allowed to substitute too,” Hinton said. “I think the biggest flexibility offensively comes in the fact that they can do both things very, very well.”

Heuerman attributes his growth during camp to the extra time he has had in coach Urban Meyer’s offense when compared to the start of last season.

“This is my second year in the program so I understand it a lot more. Understanding the program and how everything works with the culture and everything has really helped out,” Heuerman said.

“On the field, second year in the offense, knowing what to do rather than just lining up like it was last year. I think it’s really helped me succeed.”

With the addition of new players from coach Urban Meyer’s first recruiting class who are expected to contribute right away as well to the improvements the veterans have made this offseason, distributing the football could be a point of emphasis all season.

But Heuerman wants to contribute in any way he can, as long as the team keeps winning.

“The more weapons you got, the better you’ll be. If that means I get less catches or less opportunities and we win and get to where we want to get, then I’m perfectly fine with that,” Heuerman said.

Further down the depth chart, things seem to get a little more dicey, with the loss of redshirt freshman Blake Thomas to a careerending neck injury in addition to the suspension of freshman Marcus Baugh for the season opener.

Redshirt junior J.T. Moore is helping to fill the holes left by Thomas and Baugh, making the switch from defensive end to tight end last week. Heuerman said he is fitting into his new role well.

“He’s doing good. That’s a tough transition going from defensive

OSU men’s soccer takes down IPFW, 2-0 in exhibition match

Shelby Lum / Photo editor

Junior Yianni Sarris (6) battles for the ball during a game against IPFW on Aug. 20, at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. OSU won, 2-0.

Daniel Rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu In its second preseason game of 2013, the Ohio State men’s soccer team beat Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne 2-0 in Columbus Tuesday night.

With the victory, OSU’s record improves to 1-1 in the preseason.

The Buckeyes’ first goal came after a cross from junior midfielder Yianni Sarris in the 21st minute was put in goal by sophomore defender Alex Bujenovic. It was OSU’s first goal of the preseason, after falling 1-0 against West Virginia on Sunday.

In the 32nd minute, OSU doubled its advantage, coming from another Sarris to Bujenovic connection with junior Max Moller capitalizing to make the score 2-0.

“What we really wanted to do tonight was take a look at all our players,” Coach John Bluem said, according to a press release. “Basically, we started a group that didn’t

end to tight end. It’s two totally different worlds and he embraced the change really well,” Heuerman said. “He’s been doing really good with us, he’s been blocking really well. I think we’ll definitely see him in there in some two tight end packages and stuff and goal line and stuff.”

But Hinton is not going to worry about the tight end position as long as Vannett or Heuerman is on the field.

“When 86 (Heuerman) and 81 (Vannett) are out there, I feel really comfortable. When it’s the young guys right now, I don’t feel near as comfortable. I mean God bless them, they’re working hard, but they’re not there yet,” Hinton said.

QBs from 5A are something that you can’t overlook,” Herman said. “We’re blessed to have him. I’ve been a lot of places throughout my career that we would have been doing jumping jacks and cartwheels down the hallway if he was our starting quarterback.”

Miller called Guiton his “big brother,” and said their relationship extends beyond the field.

“We got a mutual respect outside of football, too,” Miller said. Referencing when his injury occurred during the Purdue game and he was carted off, Miller said his “big brother” looked him straight in the eye with one message: “I got you, man.”

Herman said he has never asked Guiton if he is frustrated with being the backup, but spoke of a time during fall camp where the QB from Houston was asked how he was going to help the team in 2013.

“He said, ‘I’m going to push No. 5, I’m going to be the best teammate, leader and coach on the field. I’m going to coach No. 5 like I’m a coach,’” Herman said.

“It tugs at your heart strings a little bit, how selfless he is.”

Guiton said if he is called on again, he will be ready.

“My mentality is just whenever I get a shot I want to come out on top,” he said. “I want to be able to go out there and keep the offense’s tempo up and do the best things that can keep this offense going.”

Should the chance arise where he would get more crucial playing time like last year, Guiton’s response to the possibility was simple and confident.

“I hope so. We’ll see.”

play much in the first exhibition game. We gave them a run in the first half and they definitely showed some moments of promise.”

Sarris, beginning his second year as a Buckeye after transferring from Florida Gulf Coast before the 2012 season, is looking to add to a season where he played in 10 matches, scoring one goal and adding three assists.

Junior goalkeeper Andrian McAdams played a strong 90 minutes, recording five saves on eight shots from IPFW. OSU outshot the Mastodons 20-8 on the night, and earned five of six corner kicks.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to take on Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., in their preseason finale Aug. 26. OSU kicks off its regular season when it hosts the Wolstein Classic Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 against Northern Illinois and UNC-Wilmington.

studentvoice Oregon ‘Pay Forward, Pay Back’ plan could open doors to college education in Ohio OLLER Reporter

As the demand for college education in the workplace has risen, so have the costs associated with obtaining education. As a result, it has become an inevitable reality for many college students to take out student loans DAN HOPE to offset higher hope.46@osu.edu costs, only to spend many more years paying them back than they actually spent at a college or university.

It appears that those debts are only going to rise.

The average published tuition and fees for public four-year institutions increased by 4.8 percent from the previous year in 2012-2013, while the inflation-adjusted average annual increase for those same institutions since 2002-2003 has been 5.2 percent, according to data published by the College Board. Meanwhile, the interest rate on new federal subsidized student loans increased from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1.

In at least one state, however, a plan is being set in motion to give students a way around those costs.

Earlier this summer, both branches of the Oregon state legislature unanimously voted in favor of a bill which directs the state’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission to consider the creation of a program titled “Pay Forward, Pay Back” which would replace the system of tuition and fees to pay for higher education.

Under the potential program, students would be able to attend public universities and community colleges in the state of Oregon without paying tuition or fees. They would instead sign a binding contract to pay a small, fixed percentage of their post-graduate income back to the state for a specified number of years, which would then be used to fund the program for future students at the state’s public universities.

The bill does not specify what the percentage or term of payment would be, but the Huffington Post, among other outlets, reported that students who attend four-year public universities would pay 3 percent, while two-year school students would pay 1.5 percent, for “about a quarter-century.”

Should the Higher Education Coordinating Commission approve, they have been instructed to submit a proposal for the pilot program to the Legislative Assembly by 2015.

As the cost of college education and the number of students nationwide paying student loan debts have each risen, many have wondered whether university students are getting an adequate return value on the education they are paying for.

The “Pay Forward, Pay Back” program could answer that question.

By having each student pay a fixed percentage of their income rather than a fixed tuition price, how much each student pays would be directly relative to how much money each student makes.

Some have argued that the plan would be unfair to the students who make the most money after graduation. In a column for Bloomberg, Zac Bissonnette argued the program “punishes graduates’ success” and is “too good to be true,” because students whose careers lead to high income would end up having to pay more money than they would by paying standard tuition and fees.

That said, while it may cause a small group of students to pay more, it would help many students receive higher education who could not otherwise afford it.

Another concern about the program is the startup costs it would require of the state. According to the Huffington Post, those startup costs are estimated at $9 billion for Oregon.

The long-term benefit of the program, however, could outweigh that drawback. As students pay back a percentage of their income into the program, the education system could eventually become selfsustaining, as the income percentages being paid forward would cover the costs of incoming students to attend public state universities.

Other states are considering following suit, including the state of Ohio. Two legislators from the Ohio House of Representatives, Robert F. Hagan and Mike Foley, announced in July they would propose similar legislation. According to the Huffington Post, the proposal would require graduates to pay three percent of their income for 24 years.

Ohio State’s tuition and fees for the 2013-2014 school year will total $10,010 for Ohio residents who are enrolled as full-time students for both semesters, while the out-of-state surcharge will bring that total to $25,726 for nonresident students.

If the proposal is successful, however, OSU students may eventually not have to pay upfront costs for tuition and fees. This could make OSU and other public universities a viable option for students, while creating a self-sustaining program that will help pay for Ohio universities to continue building the careers of students through education for years to come.

They thought they were only going to get the chess club in attendance. Instead, Walk The Moon got enough people to fill the upper plaza of the RPAC. The four-piece indie rock band played an unplugged show at Bucki-Frenzy Tuesday, clad with only two acoustic guitars, a shaker and a cardboard box played with two snare brushes for percussion.

Walk The Moon, consisting of lead vocalist Nicholas Petricca, bassist Kevin Ray, guitarist Eli Maiman and drummer Sean Waugaman, hails from Cincinnati.

The quartet’s set at the Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event was a bit uncertain, given the band asked for requests from the audience, but it came with a disclaimer.

“This is the first time we performed all summer,” Petricca said to the audience. “It’s been awhile since we played music in front of other humans.”

The show, though, came together, and served as a preview for the band’s Aug. 30 show at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion. Opening with “Tightrope” and ending with “Anna Sun,” Walk The Moon produced a 30-minute, six-song, acoustic set list, promising more music for the fans at the show next week.

Walk The Moon plays for students at the Buck-I-Frenzy Aug. 20 at OSU. It can be two lines maximum in length.

The band’s decision to keep the show unplugged was based on ease and the fact they were asked

by OUAB to perform a “couple of days ago,” Waugaman said.

“For one, it is a whole lot easier,” Petricca said. “You can come in and just do it really quick, but it’s kind of a last minute thing. We like to do it for a change every once in a while.”

The acoustic performance was not only a last minute decision for the band, but a surprise for Ohio State students, who were informed of the concert the night before the show via OUAB’s Twitter.

However, it was a welcomed surprise for many Walk The Moon fans on campus.

“I’m from Cincinnati, so I’ve

been watching them play since, like three years now,” said Mollie Ruffing, a second-year in industrial engineering. “One of my friends is in OUAB, and they told me (Walk The Moon) was going to be here, so I decided to come. And we stood in the front row, and it was probably my favorite concert, honestly.”

Some students attended covered in face paint, a norm for Walk The Moon concerts, Bria Davis explained.

“The band usually paints their faces and comes out in the concert, and it just sort of became a thing.

Every Walk The Moon concert, everyone’s just painted up,” the second-year in communication said.

Some students, including James Warvel, a second-year in psychology, were not familiar with Walk

The Moon, but attended based off recommendations from friends.

“I’ve actually never heard of them,” Warvel said before the concert. “I’m just trying to check them out to see what they’re like … I heard they’re pretty good …

They’re kind of pop-rock, so I’m looking forward to it.”

Walk The Moon’s concert comes on the heels of OUAB’s annual Welcome Week Concert Thursday, which will feature The Band Perry and Charlie Worsham.

Chris Wallace, a third year in computer science and engineering, was pleased OUAB brought in another act in addition to Thursday’s concert. “(OUAB) puts out a lot of cool stuff, but music, I feel like they’ve been lacking a little lately,” Wallace said. “So the fact that they put up this little stage and bringing in people is awesome.”

Waugaman said Walk The Moon wanted to play for OSU to say “Hi” to the students and welcome them into the new school year.

Petricca also said they wanted to do something special for the students, and called the fans who came out Tuesday “amazing.”

“We were seriously not sure (how many people would show up for the concert), because it was sort of a surprise thing, so we weren’t sure there’d be anyone here,” he said. “It was a really fantastic crowd.”

OUAB did not immediately respond for comment Monday.

‘Pacific Rim,’ ‘Now You See Me,’ ‘This Is The End’ highlight summer T.J. McGarry Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu Another year and another summer of movies has gone by. It was a summer of remarkable highs, like the uproarious moments from “This Is The End” and the genuinely frightening “The Conjuring,” as well as some painful lows like the tragically flawed “Man of Steel” and terribly disappointing “The Lone Ranger.” With that being said, let’s go over some 2013 summer films that are definitely worth the trip to the dollar theater.

@LanternAE

“Pacific Rim” — Released July 12 Director Guillermo del Toro has been impressing audiences with his keen eye for special effects and his masterful make-up work with films like “Hellboy” (2004) and “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006) for years.

“Pacific Rim” follows in its predecessors’ footsteps as a visually stunning experience. “Pacific Rim” is a modern day, Godzilla-style monster flick done right – an incredible work of effects magic that will delight old school monster fanatics as well as young Sci-Fi fans.

The story goes that, in the near future, giant monsters known as Kaiju begin coming through an undersea portal into our world and attacking major cities. In order to combat these creatures, the nations of the world create their own giant mechanical fighters called Jaegers. However, the Kaiju began growing too powerful to be defeated by the Jaegers, so it falls upon a veteran Jaeger pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untrained amateur pilot (Rinko Kikuchi) to mount one last strike on the portal.

The plot is silly and, at times, nonsensical, but it really only exists to set up the monster battles ­­­ which are both fun and frequent. “Pacific Rim” is del Toro at his best. The monsters are beautifully designed behemoths, and the Jaegers look like the gigantic engineering masterpieces they are supposed to be.

The fight scenes are where del Toro really shows off his skills. The battles between the creatures actually feel earth-shattering and the cinematography does an excellent job conveying the sheer size of the beasts and robots. The movie certainly has its shortcomings ­— the dialogue is terrible and the acting is no better than mediocre (Although Charlie Day’s performance as a mad scientist is amusing). However, “Pacific Rim” is still worth watching for action lovers and is a must-see for fans of old school monster movies.

“Now You See Me” — Released May 31 “Now You See Me” is a stylish, fast-paced heist movie from director Louis Leterrier, better known for 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” and the “Clash of the Titans” remake (2010). “Now You See Me” could have been an early summer flop, but it actually features a smart plot along with engaging action and a clever twist. The movie should also be commended for drawing out strong acting performances from some Hollywood stalwarts like Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson.

The plot is a unique take on the heist movie formula. Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Harrelson play upcoming magicians who pull off a series of heists disguised as magic shows in order to join a secret organization of illusionists.

Lee Thompson Young’s death shocks cast members, fans Brandon Klein Senior Lantern reporter klein.340@osu.edu

Courtesy of Facebook

Lee Thompson Young of ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ died Monday of an apparent suicide.

Shocked, stricken and sad are the top words to describe my initial reaction when I saw the headlines that former Disney star Lee Thompson Young had died of an apparent suicide Monday. According to multiple reports, the 29-year-old was found dead in his North Hollywood apartment from a selfinflicted gunshot wound after he failed to show up for work on the TNT crime drama “Rizzoli & Isles,” which was renewed for a fifth season last week.

Young’s death is the second high-profile suicide in a week after “The Bachelor” star Gia Allemand, who was also 29 years old, died Aug. 14 after apparently hanging herself two days earlier.

Though it’s unclear why Young committed suicide, his was among thousands committed in the U.S. each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide was the 10th leading cause of death in the US in 2010. It is also the second leading cause of death for ages 25-34.

Firearms are the most commonly used method for suicide among males at 56 percent.

Young’s modest acting career began when he starred in the lead role of the Disney Channel show “The Famous Jett Jackson,” which ran from 1998-2001.

Since then, Young attended the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts with a major in film production, graduating with honors in 2005.

He also continued acting, appearing in several films such as the 2004 sports drama film “Friday Night Lights” and the 2007 horror film “The Hills have Eyes II.” Young also played in minor and recurring roles for television such as Victor Stone in the hit Superman-show “Smallville” as well as a medical intern in the hit comedy series “Scrubs.”

Things were looking good for Young’s career when he found a steady acting role in the crime drama “Rizzoli & Isles,” which debuted in 2010. He played fledgling Detective Barry Frost, the second partner of Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon). Though Young’s character had a gift with computers, he would amuse viewers when acting squeamish at the sight of corpses and blood. Fans like myself will miss the chemistry he had with the rest of the cast on the show, providing humor and a lightheartedness that makes his character almost irreplaceable.

In the wake of his death, production has been temporarily halted for the show as the cast members are given time to grieve.

The Wexner Center to present ‘Rare Football Films’ with guests John Hicks, Bobby Carpenter Nen Lin Soo Lantern reporter soo.8@osu.edu With just a little over a week left until the Buckeyes hit the field, football and the arts will be mixing together at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Former Ohio State and NFL greats John Hicks and Bobby Carpenter are slated to join the Wexner Center in premiering “Rare Football Films: The Newsreels” on Friday evening.

The program is set to feature a video compilation of vintage gridiron films from the 1900s to the 1970s.

Dave Filipi, director of the Wexner Center’s Film/Video department, cited the success of a similar program he has worked with for the last 10 years called “Rare Baseball Films” as part of the inspiration for his “Rare Football Films” project. The center also presented “A Tribute to Ed Sabol & NFL Films” two years ago that had former Ohio State running back Eddie George and former OSU offensive tackle Jim Lachey as special guests during the event.

“Afterward, Eddie and Jim came up on stage and talked about their careers,” Filipi said. “That went really well, so it’s always been at the back of mind that we should do something similar to that again.”

A huge fan of OSU football, Filipi worked closely with the UCLA Film & Television Archive to obtain all the newsreel footage for this program.

“We also worked with the OSU athletic department to get in contact with the former Ohio State players, John Hicks and Bobby Carpenter,” Filipi said. “They’re going to do a similar conversation after the film is over just like Eddie and Jim did.”

When it came to selecting the right clips for this program, Filipi closely followed the philosophy he had with his baseball films project and looked for clips that were both interesting and entertaining.

“The ideal clips are the ones not just about the sport, but the ones that also show how the sport intersects with the broader culture in some other way, whether it’s a political angle or a racial

Heisman Trophy–winner Howard ‘Hopalong’ Cassady (No. 40) played for OSU from 1952–55 and is one of the gridiron greats featured in ‘Rare Football Films: The Newsreels’ on Aug. 23. angle or some other aspect of popular culture,” Filipi said. “I certainly included a lot of game footage, but the ones that I’m the most interested in are those clips that have a bit of a resonance to them and that provide a nice lens for looking at a topic that transcends football.”

Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant for the Wexner Center, said there was a great reception for “Rare Baseball Films” and she expects “Rare Football Films” to be an event people are going to remember.

“Football is popular in Ohio State, arts are also important in Ohio State,” Wray said. “We think this is an event that will bring those two

things together in a really interesting and fun way.”

Cayli Baldwin, a second-year in exploration, said this program is a great way to draw in students who are football fans but have never really been exposed to the Wexner Center.

“I think it’s a really good connection,” Baldwin said. “They can get people who love football to go to see it and they may think, this place is really cool and I should be here more often.”

“Rare Football Films” is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Mershon Auditorium. A tailgate party will precede the event at 5:30 p.m.

This event is free for all students with a valid

BuckID and $10 for the general public. Tickets for the tailgate party are $13 for Wexner Center members and $15 for the general public. Tickets are required and can be obtained in advance or on the day of the event at the Wexner Center’s ticket office.

Movies from 9A Ruffalo is a no-nonsense police officer who’s out to put an end to the group’s run of thievery, Mélanie Laurent plays his assigned partner from Interpol and Morgan Freeman is a shady con man who exposes magicians’ tricks for profit. “Now You See Me” takes the audience through several different heists/shows all leading up to the young illusionist’s final test.

The movie is surprisingly well put together — cleverly combining magic tricks with bank robbery techniques to create interesting heists. The film even manages to sneak in an impressive chase and fight scene between Ruffalo and Franco that shows off Leterrier’s talent for directing action sequences. Harrelson shines as a con man-hypnotist and Ruffalo is relatable as the frustrated policeman unable to keep up with the thieving illusionists. These two are complimented by above average performances from the rest of the cast, although the romantic tension angle between Fisher and Eisenberg is awkward at best. Overall, “Now You See Me” is an overlooked gem and well worth your time.

The Band Perry is scheduled to perform at the 2013 Welcome Week Concert on Aug 22.

Commentary

Country music a welcome choice in world of dubstep, rap Caitlin Essig Managing editor for content essig.13@osu.edu In a world where dubstep, rap and throbbing bass dominate popular music, I like something a little more stripped down, with a little more twang and honest lyrics.

Country music is the soundtrack to small towns. While the town I grew up in doesn’t have dirt roads, it does have farms, cornfields, an abundance of bonfire pits and people who love Friday night football and trucks.

I love country music because I can relate to it.

Eric Church’s “Guys Like Me” reminds me of my friends from home, and “Springsteen” was our anthem. Songs like Tim McGraw’s “Felt Good On My Lips” and Luke Bryan’s “All My Friends Say” make me feel like it’s

summer no matter the season and Kenny Chesney’s “The Boys of Fall” can make me cry after only a few verses.

So when the Ohio Union Activities Board started tweeting clues leading up to the announcement of the artist for its annual Welcome Week Concert, I could hardly contain my excitement. The first puzzle spelled out “saddle up,” and I was thrilled we were finally having a country concert on campus.

On Aug. 1, OUAB confirmed The Band Perry was headlining the free concert, with special guest Charlie Worsham.

Since I’ve been at Ohio State, OUAB has brought Smash Mouth, Boyz II Men, Skrillex, Mac Miller, Big Sean and 2 Chainz to campus. From that group, I can name the title of exactly one song: “All Star” by Smash Mouth.

Friends, colleagues and floormates from my dorm freshman year were excited about

some of the other shows, yes. But it is refreshing to see OUAB branch out beyond its recent, common theme of rap and R&B artists.

On a campus with nearly 60,000 students, it’s just about impossible to please everyone. Instantly after its announcement, OUAB’s Twitter account was blown up with responses from angry students who don’t like country music. But I’m sure the same thing happened with its past acts.

The thing about a campus this large, though, is there are all kinds of students who enjoy probably every type of music imaginable. Country music is finally getting its turn, and there will be plenty of students slipping into their cowboy boots and flannels, excited to celebrate their country roots on campus.

I hope exploring new genres is something OUAB continues, as it is an excellent way to ensure students have diverse experiences throughout their time as Buckeyes.

“This Is the End” — Released June 12 Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen team up to direct this rowdy comedy based off a short sketch entitled “Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse.” The hook of the movie is that all of the actors in it are playing themselves, dealing with an “end of the world scenario.”

The setup is clever, allowing the actors to play over-blown caricatures of themselves — channeling all of the vanity and stupidity that the general public thinks is common amongst Hollywood personalities. The result makes for great comedy.

The storyline goes that the Apocalypse occurs while James Franco is hosting a party at his Beverly Hills house leaving only Franco, Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride alive. The film chronicles their struggles for survival in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles as well as the growing tension between Rogen and Baruchel due to Rogen’s newfound Hollywood friends.

“This Is the End” does the only thing a comedy movie has to do — it makes people laugh. The jokes are numerous and hysterical, and the performers all have fantastic chemistry from working with each other on previous projects. A couple notable funny sequences include the gang creating a fake “Pineapple Express 2,” a sequence where Jonah Hill is possessed by a demon and some hysterical cameos from Emma Watson and Channing Tatum. “This is the End” is a great film to watch with some friends and enjoy the work of some of comedy’s best stars.

[ a +e ] Very little growth New musical style No Age stays true in Braids release not fit for Mayer to previous sound “flourish // Perish” Braids

Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu The sophomore slump didn’t hit Canadian art rock band Braids this year.

“Flourish // Perish,” the band’s second album, released Tuesday. The electronic-focused album comes two years after the band’s debut album “Native Speaker.”

Each song on “Flourish // Perish” has a good blend of electronic instruments and computer-generated sounds that don’t sound jarring when mixed together.

The album is mellow and mild when compared to other music in the electronic genre.

I found myself drifting off into a dreamlike state after hearing lead singer Raphaelle StandellPreston’s subtle vocals paired with the moderate tones from the music.

“Victoria,” the album’s opening song, is an example of this. At the beginning of the song, the music starts at a slow pace, the vocals sung delicately.

As the song picks up tempo, Standell-Preston’s vocals are punched up with more reverb, making the song feel more surreal.

However, I felt in some songs

B-

Abigail Hofrichter Lantern reporter hofrichter.3@osu.edu

her voice was drowned in the reverb, which made it hard to understand what she was singing.

“December,” the third track on the album, starts with vocals covered in reverb along with bass, drums and keyboard. It was hard for me to pay attention to the lyrics because, unlike the rest of the album, the vocals were not gradually led into the song.

I felt as if “Flourish // Perish” is a continuation from where “Native Speaker” left off in 2011, the albums being no different music-wise. Although we are given new music with a different focus style-wise, the music itself is not versatile enough to differentiate one album from the other.

While Braids does not provide anything new musically, I found this album enjoyable to relax and unwind to.

After his retreat to Montana and revival album “Born and Raised” in 2012, John Mayer left audiences anxiously awaiting his next career move.

His last album presented a different sound than Mayer’s trademark emotional ballads.

“Born and Raised” had a country influence — no doubt due to his new Montana lifestyle — and provided refreshingly honest lyrics after Mayer saddened the world with his arrogant, rock star attitude.

“Paradise Valley,” which released Tuesday, opens with “Wildfire,” a peppy, footstomping track about a boy and girl falling in love. It’s the type of song that is purchased and put on repeat for a week straight. The track has a bouncy melody, optimistic lyrics and a tambourine — sounds like victory.

“Call Me the Breeze” is another upbeat track with a hint of the blues and a glimpse of the guitar skills we want to see from Mayer.

The album peaks there.

As the album progresses, the songs get more mellow and increasingly uninteresting.

“Paradise valley” John Mayer

C+

Mayer’s attempt to channel a little Americana is commendable, but the Bob Dylan/Willie Nelson persona just doesn’t work for him. “Paradise Valley” reflects Mayer’s recent evolution as an artist and an individual, but it is too peaceful. For a man who’s gone through a break up and started a new relationship, the lyrics on this album are cliché and leave us wondering where the articulate, creative John went.

The album has guest appearances from Mayer’s latest love interest Katy Perry (“Who You Love”) and singersongwriter Frank Ocean (a second song named “Wildfire”).

Even with such an interesting arrangement of people, the album falls flat. The melodies are nice and soothing, but as a whole, “Paradise Valley” leaves something to be desired.

“an object” No Age

Matthew Lovett Senior Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu Apparently, after having put all that energy into its perfectly raucous 2010 record, “Everything In Between,” Los Angeles noise-punk duo No Age needed a moment to decompress. In three years’ time, guitarist Randy Randall and drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt worked on disintegrating how they conceived and performed their music for “An Object,” released Tuesday.

This undertaking — of pulling apart their process in order to formulate one anew — saw Randall and Spunt tweaking their sounds to synthesize less rock ‘n’ roll songs and more, say, larger ambient constructions without any sort of standard pop/ rock structure.

Surely, No Age sprawls out on “An Object,” but really, they don’t stray too far from their source.

Album opener “No Ground” and “C’mon, Stimmung” are quintessentially No Age. Likewise, “Circling With Dizzy,” “Lock Box” and even “I Won’t Be Your Generator” operate as the No Age we know, defined by varying degrees of overdrive bolstered by some ethereal stridency.

That said, there is undoubtedly evidence of a band testing

itself on “An Object.” Take “An Impression,” probably one of the most instrumentally unique No Age pieces to date, which features a lo-fi lens and a percussive click. Supported additionally by a tender Randall rhythm and a first-time violin appearance, the result is a song that is atmospheric without losing its grip.

“An Object” concludes with “Commerce, Comment, Commence,” the least driven song of the record. It opens with a tone that inflects the ambiance of Brian Eno’s 1978 album “Ambient 1: Music For Airports” glazed with a distant, nearly shy Spunt. The song dwindles after Spunt’s first verse, then blooms and flourishes just as quickly as it dissolves to its resolution.

However, within the band’s narrative, the rest of “An Object’s” songs are some of No Age’s most ambitious and becoming.
