Buckeyes’ captains named Ohio State announced eight captains for the 2013 season Tuesday night.

[ a+e ]

Reports of an attempted and an aggravated armed robbery on Ohio State’s campus have prompted two University Police public safety notices within less than three weeks, leaving one OSU student questioning her safety.

Musfirah Zulkurnain, an Ohio State graduate student in food science and technology, was walking home from her office in the Parker Food Science & Technology Building shortly after 7 p.m.

Monday because the bus did not arrive on time. She was on the Olentangy River bridge when a car pulled up beside her trying to grab her attention.

“I stopped and looked at him and said ‘What?’” Zulkurnain said. “And (a man inside the car) point(ed) a gun at me.”

Zulkurnain, age 27, reported being nearly robbed at gunpoint Monday evening on Woody Hayes Drive in an incident that prompted a public safety

notice. There were three white men and a white woman in the red GMC SUV, all in their mid-20s, according to the notice.

After the car stopped beside Zulkurnain, she said one of the men asked for her backpack, but she refused to give it up.

“I was so panicked I didn’t know what to do, but I refused to give my things,” Zulkurnain, who is from Malaysia, said. “I pretended I didn’t know what he want(ed).”

She said she was “praying, praying” for help but no one was in the area. The man cocked the handgun and Zulkurnain ran across the road behind the car. The car then drove away, she said.

The incident has left her scared – “It’s supposed to be safe inside this campus area,” Zulkurnain said, “and suddenly this thing happened and I was so shocked.”

University Police Captain Eric Whiteside said Tuesday the details Zulkurnain provided have “generated some leads that (officers) are currently investigating.”

Zulkurnain said she had her phone and her wallet in her bag when the incident occurred and the University Police report said the property the man reportedly attempted to steal was worth $50.

Investigation into the event is ongoing.

Whiteside said University Police is coordinating with other “surrounding agencies” to see if they have had any “similar encounter(s) in their jurisdiction,” but was unable to provide more details because the investigation is ongoing.

One of the most telling details, Whitesaid said, was the “description of a red handgun, that is something that is unusual.”

The safety notice was issued approximately two hours after the incident reportedly occurred Monday and occurred more than two weeks after an armed aggravated robbery was reported at Ohio Union Parking Garage South Aug. 7.

On the Aug. 7 event, it was reported a black male in his mid-20s allegedly robbed a male non-affiliate

of $25 in cash while armed with a handgun at about 11:50 a.m.

A public safety notice was issued about the event that day, stating the incident occurred on the High Street side of Sullivant Hall, which University Police Chief Paul Denton said in an email Tuesday was because the notice was issued before the victim had clarified the location to be the parking garage.

Investigation into that event is pending, according to the University Police log.

The victim involved in the Aug. 7 incident declined to comment on the incident.

Zulkurnain said she was glad University Police sent out a notice about what reportedly happened to her.

“I want everyone to be aware of it, the situation that’s happening, for everybody’s safety,” Zulkurnain said. “Everybody should know that there’s a risk and you shouldn’t walk alone.”

Fireplace, entrance planned for library STACIE JACKSON Lantern reporter jackson.2087@osu.edu

Some Ohio State students were probably surprised when they walked into the 18th Avenue Library last week to discover the entire first floor, including the TerraByte Café, gone, with just a small circulation desk in its place.

The library, which is open 24/7, is currently undergoing a $1.9 million renovation requiring the temporary closing of the first floor, removal of the first floor computers and temporary closing of the TerraByte Café, according to the OSU Libraries Blog and OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc.

The renovated library is expected to “be more comfortable and is easier to navigate,” according to the blog.

Some specific changes to the first floor include an electric fireplace with additional lounge space, the addition of a second entrance to the library on the north side of the building and an increase in the amount of seating.

The second, third and fourth floors, as well as the basement, of the library are still open and available to students.

Komlanc said the renovation is addressing several problem areas.

“The first floor space of the 18th Ave Library is heavily used by students and faculty and the finishes, furniture and layout were all in need of updates. The first floor also receives a significant amount of traffic, so the project is creating a new entrance to the building along 18th Avenue to help make traffic flow more efficient and make the building more accessible,” Komlanc said in an email.

The renovation was not decided upon on a whim – for major renovations, Komlanc said the university uses a capital planning process to plan for university needs over a 15-year period in the future.

“It is a comprehensive approach and is intended to enable a full assessment of issues and opportunities, linkages among potential projects and efficient solutions for meeting multiple needs,” Komlanc said.

Renovations on the 18th Avenue Library’s first floor are expected to be completed before Spring Semester 2014.

Komlanc said capital needs are assessed by their alignment with the university’s strategic objectives and financial impacts.

Some students have had positive reaction to the renovations.

“This library is great because it is open 24/7. I live off-campus, so when I come to the library at night I expect to stay all night. I prefer to sit and study here because the library provides a better environment than my own home. So making the library more comfortable does not sound like a bad idea to me at all,” said Ashok Ramanathan Premanathan, a firstyear graduate student in industrial engineering.

However, some students feel more inconvenienced than excited.

innovate for its students, but it definitely comes at a cost. Although it will be nice to have more seating on the first floor, it comes at a huge inconvenience for the first semester,” said Kate Windnagel, a secondyear in business-economics and international studies. “We should be thinking about utility when it comes to the library, not necessarily the style and looks.”

The TerraByte Café will reopen on Sept. 16, according to a sign posted inside of the 18th Avenue Library, and Komlanc said construction will be completed before Spring Semester 2014.

The library was formally known as the Science and Engineering Library, or the “SEL,” before it was renamed the 18th Avenue Library last winter.

OSU alumnus Mike Diol will be opening an Honest-1 auto shop in Columbus next month.

Ohio State alumnus Mike Diol has seen good times and bad times, but he remembered the journey that carried him where he is today as he looked to open his new business.

Diol, a local entrepreneur who was born and raised in Columbus, is set to open an automotive business in his hometown this September. He said both being flexible and communicating well have made him successful in his professional career.

“I believe it’s good to be driven and work hard to get somewhere, but while you’re open-minded, you’ll find what you’re interested in may be related to things that you never thought they were, and then it opens you up to experience new stuff,” he said.

He has big plans for the new shop and showed off his sparkling granite counters, fresh paint and state-of-theart computers. His khaki shirt sported the mark of the mechanic trade with a few grease stains as he explained his path through the corporate world that brought him somewhere he never expected to be.

Diol graduated with a degree in

advertising, and believes being willing to change has helped him in the long run.

He was laid off from his job in Detroit when the automotive industry hit a crisis in 2008. His time in Detroit inspired him to move back to his hometown to start his own business because he said the job market in Columbus was more promising.

“When you’re walking to the grocery store and you’re driving down the street and you’re looking at people in the eye, you see unemployment,” he said of Detroit. “You can breathe it in the air.”

Diol said he believed that Columbus has a diverse market that isn’t dependent on any particular industry and is a great test market.

Diol’s automotive business is part of a franchise through Honest-1, an automotive company that specializes in higher quality car care. The grand opening of his store, which will be located at 1030 Old Henderson Road, in a few weeks will be the first Honest-1 business in Ohio.

Chip Baranowski, vice president of franchise development for Honest-1, said opening in Columbus was a good choice on Diol’s part.

campus New wooden courts at JO South elicit mixed feedback

said Elaine Tillotson, a third-year in exercise science. “I think they are trying to use it for too many different things now, though, and people specifically come in the evenings to play basketball.”

Josh Mosier, a second-year in exercise science, also said he did not like the expansion.

“With the RPAC and all the other different gyms, there (are) a lot of different places for fitness classes and stuff like that rather than to put them on the new basketball courts we finally got,” Mosier said. “And when the weather is nice enough for volleyball there are tons of volleyball courts even by the dorms for (others) to do outside stuff on.”

Not only are some unhappy with the basketball courts schedule, but they’re unhappy with some of the layout.

“The floor is lifted up a couple inches off the ground because the wood was put on top of the floor that was there before, and I have already seen two people roll their ankles off the edge because around the floor near the bathrooms and near the doors and exits there is a dropoff, so I think the way it was put in it was a little dangerous for people that are playing because you are not noticing that edge,” Tillotson said.

Tillotson also thought the renovation was rushed because one of the three-point lines does not line up with the ring on the top of the key. She also said she has seen some of the paint chipping in some sections.

The new wooden courts were placed in the gym facilities this past summer to replace the old asphalt courts put in place in 1976 when the gym was built.

The renovation took about three weeks.

Kieffer Gray, fourth-year in electrical engineering, plays basketball at JO South Aug. 27 on the new wooden courts.

The renovation of the basketball courts at Jesse Owens South have some Ohio State students talking.

“It’s really great,” said Alyse Demme, a fourth-year in marketing. “Since I’ve been here, the floor has been kind of yucky and it is nice to feel like other people can participate here other than the basketball players because having volleyball courts is inclusive for all the students.”

Other students, such as Kennedy Shasteen, a first-year in health information management systems, said the change might be frustrating for basketball players, but will be useful for other groups of students.

Dave DeAngelo, senior associate director of facilities, said the $230,000 renovations took place not only to upgrade the courts, but to increase the versatility of the space.

“We will be able to play badminton, volleyball and plan on having group fitness classes that we already started last week,” DeAngelo said. “I really want to try to change the culture, saying it’s not just basketball. We really want to look at our facilities in a more global way.”

Although some are happy with new wooden courts, others are not so happy with the changes.

“It’s definitely nice to have wood instead of the concrete floor that was there before because it was bad on knees and stuff and people would fall, so its nice to have a different material floor,”

New RPAC classes offer ‘something new’ for students Alexa Carson Lantern reporter carson.239@osu.edu Fusion workout classes, such as cycle yoga fusion, are the latest addition to the RPAC’s group fitness schedule this semester.

Kristen Nesvacil, senior assistant director of RPAC Fitness Programs and Services, said fusion classes, which are group fitness classes combining two or more styles of exercise in one class, are popular right now because people are realizing the importance of combining multiple exercises into a workout.

“People want to get the most bang out of their buck,” Nesvacil said. “People are starting to realize that only sitting on the treadmill isn’t going to get you the results you need.”

Alice Adams, Group Fitness graduate administrative assistant, said fusion workouts will help students keep their workouts interesting.

“People in the fitness world are always looking for something new,” Adams said.

Using surveys from previous group fitness class participants, the RPAC staff made the decision to offer the following versions of their more popular classes.

Aqua ZUMBA: This latest addition to the water class schedule is exactly what the title sounds like: ZUMBA in a pool.

ZUMBA is a Latin-inspired cardio dance workout typically done on dry land, but doing the class in a pool means less impact on joints and more incorporation of traditional water aerobic elements and resistance. Adams, who is an Aqua ZUMBA instructor, said the pool also provides an added benefit of privacy.

“Nobody can see you,” Adams said. “That’s what I tell participants who are nervous because, ‘Oh, I can’t dance.’”

The class is great for people of any fitness level because its low impact style is good for beginners or as a recovery workout, Adams said.

There is no dance or swim experience required.

Meghan Olson, a first-year in biology, took the class and said she enjoyed how different it was from traditional ZUMBA. “This was a lot more fun, I think,” Olson said.

“It was so cool that it was in the water.”

Aqua ZUMBA is offered Mondays at 5:30 p.m. and Fridays at 2 p.m.

OSU Dining Services changes menus, meal plans Mario Robertson Lantern reporter robertson.328@osu.edu Fall Semester brought changes in meal plans and meal offerings to Ohio State dining locations.

There will be 250 limited-time options the dining locations’ menus this fall, including gourmet hot dog bars, quinoa pancakes, vegetarian calzones and street tacos.

“We have close to 250 limited-time offers that will go out throughout the Fall Semester and some may make it on our regular menu in the spring, and others will never make it back to our menu because students did not like it,” said OSU Dining Services Director Zia Ahmed.

“Our limited time offers are a good monotony breaker, because our students are going back to the same operations, so it is always good to offer something different and new.”

In addition to the new offerings, Dining Services has also made changes to their meal plans. Last year, Dining offered 450- and 600-block plans that left many students scrambling to spend their unused blocks and ended

OSU Dining Services will also offer 250 new limited time food options, which include gourmet hot dogs, quiona pancakes and street tacos. The new options are tailored for students with special dietary needs, such as gluten free diets, vegertarian and vegan options. *The unlimited plans included unlimited blocks to the three Traditions dining halls. Additional weekly blocks can be used at non-traditional dining halls.

Source: Reporting up refunding students who had unused blocks $3 per block for Fall Semester, according to The Lantern archives.

This year, however, Dining Services is offering new plans to help students budget their blocks more efficiently, Ahmed said.

“All of the changes were made based on student feedback, so we made some changes to our plans,” Ahmed said. “We added two more blocks to our traditional plan and made it an

unlimited plan. We also added two new plans, one with 20 blocks per week and one with 25 blocks per week. These are mostly geared to incoming freshmen who are not comfortable budgeting a 350- or 450-block plan.”

The price of the new meal plans has dissuaded some students from choosing the new options, however.

“I first chose the unlimited plan, but then I switched to the 350 plan because I thought

it would be too much,” said Andres Plazas, a first-year in marketing. “I am currently on the 350-block plan because it is cheaper, and I thought I would only use two blocks a day and eat breakfast in my room.”

Dining Services is also attempting to better cater to students with its limited-time meal options, many of which were tailored for students with special dietary needs, such as those on a gluten-free diet, as well as vegetarians and vegans, Ahmed said.

“Vegetarian products are a big mover here at Ohio State University,” Ahmed said. “Our focus is not to offer vegetarian products, but to offer a great product that happens to be vegetarian. A lot of meat-eaters like to eat some, if not all, of the vegetarian options we have on campus.”

Third-year in neuroscience Kelsey Franklin, who is the president of the OSU Vegetarian and Vegan Society, said she believed the university has many great options for vegetarians.

RPAC from 2A

SHOCKWAVE: This fusion of Indo-Row, which “captures all the elements of competitive, on-water rowing,” according to the Indo-Row website, and strength training rotates between three stations focusing on arms, legs and core with an additional rowing station.

“It’s like boot camp with the rowers,” Nesvacil said.

This class is open to all fitness levels, although it is a higher intensity class and one that best lends itself to more competitive participants, Nesvacil said.

“You rotate when the last person is finished rowing, so you have to row as hard as you can because you don’t want to be last,” Nesvacil said.

Nesvacil said this class is popular with mens, which she considers a “great addition to the fitness lineup” because many group fitness classes attract more women than men.

SHOCKWAVE is offered Tuesdays and Fridays at 4:25 p.m., Wednesdays at 4:15 p.m. and Thursdays at

courses offered at the RPAC, but it is the only one that includes relaxation and stretching into the traditionally intense workout.

“It’s a good balance of high cardio and more of a deep stretching, recovery type of workout,” Nesvacil said.

The first 30 minutes of the class are spent cycling, and for the last 30 minutes, participants leave the bikes to do a restorative yoga session.

Nesvacil said this is also a good class for all fitness levels because participants can choose how intense they want the cycling portion to be and it’s also appropriate for beginners in yoga.

“If you have never done a yoga class, it might be a good start because you’re just committing to 30 minutes instead of a full hour,” she said.

Cycle Yoga Fusion is offered Monday at 9:10 a.m and Wednesday at 8:20 a.m.

OSU dining locations have limited time offerings and new meal plan options for Fall Semester.

Dining from 1A fantastic food that just happens to be vegetarian,” Franklin said. “They had people lined up at the vegetarian station that didn’t even realize it was a vegetarian thing. They have some great Indian dishes, veggie burgers, as well as vegetarian nuggets.”

Franklin said she hasn’t seen the variety of options available at Kennedy at other locations on campus though.

“The trend they started on South Campus has not necessarily spread to the North Campus dining area,” Franklin said. “There is a vegetarian station at the North Commons, but the vegan option is always vegan pasta and vegan marinara sauce. It has been that same thing every time I came in for the past two years. It has the

potential to be better, because they have some great stuff at Kennedy, but they (dining services) just need to spread that philosophy to North Campus as well.”

Students who want to give Dining Services feedback about the new changes and the limited time offers have a couple different ways to do so, Ahmed said.

“We have a QR code on the bottom of our cash register receipts and students scan those codes with their smartphones,” Ahmed said. “We ask some basic questions like did the cashier smile and greet our customer? There is also an open ended space where students can give us their feedback. Students can also go to our website, and we also get a lot of good feedback from emails from students.”

Walk the Moon to play biggest show yet in Columbus breanna soroka Senior Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu Walk the Moon has been no stranger to Ohio State this fall, and that’s the way the band wants it.

“When you’re selling tickets for shows and school is in session, the word gets around faster,” Kevin Ray, bassist of Walk the Moon, said. “(Buck-i-Frenzy) was just a great way to get out there and be like, ‘Hey everybody, don’t forget we’ve got a show coming up.’”

Though Walk the Moon recently performed an acoustic set at Buck-i-Frenzy on Aug. 20, the band isn’t leaving the Columbus area any time soon. That “show coming up” is set for Friday evening at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, and Ray said the audience will definitely have some new things to look forward to with this performance.

“This time, we’re upping the ante,” Ray said.

“We have a big light show we’re excited about, we’ve never really had that before. We’ll probably slip in a couple new songs too, just to try them out.”

Jessica Dakin, a fourth-year in social work, said the idea of a different kind of performance by the band would bring her to the show.

“I think doing something different would draw me in,” Dakin said. “Knowing that there’s going

Walk the Moon performs at Buck-i-Frenzy Aug. 20. The band is slated to play Aug. 30 at the LC Pavilion. to be new songs and something to look forward to would be great.”

Even though this is the first time the band will be using these new theatrics, Ray said Walk the Moon will still perform with its signature highenergy vibe.

“I think the live experience comes first in our minds, it’s the most organic, it’s the most real experience,” Ray said. “Even if the songs suck, at least people are going to dance. So we feed off of that. Energy is everything in our music.”

Walk the Moon adopted this attitude after

noticing that all of its musical inspirations have one thing in common: They are known for their live shows, Ray said.

“We have our big standards like Talking Heads, that’s probably the number one influence,” Ray said. “And artists like Prince, David Bowie… and newer bands, like Vampire Weekend and Local Natives that make a name for themselves off of their performances.”

Marissa Luther, marketing director for PromoWest Productions, said Walk the Moon was a natural choice to perform at the LC Pavilion.

“It’s a thing where they choose us and we choose them at the same time,” Luther said.

“They’re good guys and good performers, and it’s sure to be a great show.”

Walk the Moon is preparing to break a personal record with the Friday show, so Columbus will always have a place in the band’s history, Ray said.

“We’re really looking forward to this Columbus show because it’s the biggest venue that we’ve ever headlined for on our own,” Ray said.

“We’ve got lights and great sound and hopefully we will realize the full potential of the live show in a setting like this. We’re excited to see what people’s reactions are.”

Gates for Friday’s show open at 7 p.m., and tickets are on sale for $20 in advance or $22 the day of the show.

Commentary

2013 MTV VMA perfomance only proves ‘We Can’t Stop’ Miley’s provacative behavior danielle seamon Asst. arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu So smiley Miley has become a bit rowdy.

The 20-year-old’s MTV Video Music Awards performance of her new single “We Can’t Stop” and duet in Robin Thicke’s summer hit “Blurred Lines” Sunday landed on the tips of everyone’s tongues as fast as the songstress slipped hers out. From mothers weeping for the future of their daughters to Rolling Stone lauding it to be what the VMAs are all about, the buzz surrounding the spectacle (and the fact it garnered 306,000 tweets per minute during her parade on stage) makes it safe to say she headlined the evening.

The argument, however, is whether she should be proud of raising “twerking” awareness or be ashamed of her blatant expression of sexuality.

On first view, I wanted Miley Cyrus to stop against the will of her lyrics. The amount of crotch grabbing and phallic references was enough motive for me to finally hang up my new shower curtain to wash away what could probably never be unseen. Things changed upon second view, though. With Lady Gaga opening the show in a thong and seashell bra and Robin Thicke suavely taking the stage as his extremely controversial “Blurred Lines” music video acquired more than 150 million views on YouTube, it seemed the public’s hounding of the former “Hannah Montana” star seemed a bit confused and misdirected.

That title of “former Hannah Montana,” though,

is the platter on which Miley’s backlash is served. It’s an unspoken expectation of kids and parents alike for Disney channel starlets to keep the Disney princess tiara fastened even when their contract has long expired. “Wizards of Waverly Place’s” Selena Gomez must return home before midnight, “Sonny with a Chance’s” Demi Lovato needs to be kind to the beast and “Lizzie McGuire’s” Hilary Duff should obey her father. However, it might be safe to assume Cinderella and her likes have never been a 20-year-old young woman in 2013.

It is important for me to disclaim that not all girls will sexualize foam fingers while sporting a teddy bear onesie upon entering their 20s; however, it is easy to see why Miley did.

It is no secret the media is expert at delivering conflicting ideas to developing young females, creating the ideal woman to be sexy, but professional; thin, but curvy; mysterious, but not crazy; stylish, but not too dressy. Miley’s persona could be considered one interpretation of those guidelines, manufactured into a Katy Perry/Ke$ha breed.

However, that would also imply Miley had no say in her stage antics, music style and dress, but instead was led blindly to the street corner by her entourage and cornered by MTV in the name of good ratings.

Although society tries to mold individuals, we live in a time where we ultimately control the Play-Doh. So perhaps, dare I say, the reason for Miley’s supposedly “shocking,” “raunchy” 2013 VMAs performance was Miley just being Miley.

It’s an incredibly simplistic answer to the question

of Miley’s sexually-driven spectacle to be the “signs of our times,” that exploiting young women as sexual objects is the norm these days. It is just as naive to believe that no part of a girl’s personality is influenced by what she sees and hears on TV than to claim that she is solely influenced by what she sees and hears on TV. It is possible Miley’s wild personality can be a consequence of her child star roots, but perhaps it is fixed in what she truly feels to be her identity, only suppressed by her child star roots.

So you don’t like it? Believe it or not, we can also choose the cookie cutters that shape our Play-Doh selves. The remote control can manage your TV screen, the dials on the radio makes you the almighty power over the music played and being a parent gives you quite a say in how your child is raised. You can’t explain to your 12-year-old why Hannah Montana has seemed to move south aspiring to be a Vegas showgirl? Remember that time you changed to be your current self? Yeah, me too.

Among all the confusing and conflicting ideas the media spells out for young women, the ultimate contradiction is pushing for conformity while praising individuality.

It’s Miley’s prerogative to sport a mullet-withtwisted-horns hairstyle, it’s Miley’s prerogative to express her sexuality while others may choose to veil it, and it’s Miley’s prerogative to get engaged at 19 if she so chooses.

Where are that girl’s parents? They are there, but remember, college students of past, present and future — she’s 20 years old. Miley does what Miley wants.

Franz Ferdinand’s new album ‘Hall of Fame’ not a step falls short of predecessors forward for Big Sean Shelby Lum Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu There’s a reason Franz Ferdinand became the known name of dance rock: It’s fun. It actually makes you want to dance in odd and awkward ways.

It’s been some time since the last Franz Ferdinand release, and the band comes back with a pep in its step and created an album that revisits its roots in dance rock as well as throwing in a few new elements. The newest installment from the Scottish band is at times a blur of music, crossing between energetic rock and synthesized sounds.

From the beginning of “Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action,” listeners are made aware that Franz Ferdinand is indeed back. Immediately, singer Alex Kapranos’ vocals come barreling in, with all the distinctiveness they always have had.

The title song, “Right Action,” is the catchy single of the record, while “Love Illumination” is the more rock-based track. Right in the back of “Love Illumination” is a subtle hint of the opening section of MGMT’s “Kids,” giving the song several layers.

“Fresh Strawberries” manages to be both melancholy and light all at once. It opens with a somber tone, but moves into

B+

“right thoughts, right words, right Action”

Franz Ferdinand

light and airy as the song pushes forward into the less than permanent lives most people lead.

With a drum roll and then a guitar entering the picture, “Bullet” is a fast paced track with a distinct guitar line through the rest of the song. What makes Franz Ferdinand is the memorable guitar riffs that take over most all of the songs. It’s the same with “Treason! Animals.” Whether it is subtle or even over-the-top, the group crafts its instrumentation in an unforgettable fashion and melds it into subtle synth beats.

Where “Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action” fails is that it doesn’t quite stack up to its predecessors. None of the tracks have the eerie feeling of “Ulysses” from 2009’s “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand” or just enough oomph to beat “Take Me Out” from Franz Ferdinand’s 2003 selftitled album.

AJ King Lantern reporter lewis-king.1@osu.edu At last, Big Sean, whose real name is Sean Michael Anderson, decided to end his long-lived “Finally Famous” series for his new album, “Hall of Fame.”

He begins the album conveying this concept with the track “Nothing Is Stopping You,” which seems to be aimed at young rappers who are following their dreams. The premise is nice, but in the end, the song sounds pretty cheesy. Most people have heard Big Sean’s story multiple times about getting discovered

by Kanye West when he rapped for him at a local radio station.

The album picks up a nice flow after the first track. I appreciate the ambiance of the track “Fire,” mostly because the music video contained an unexpected cameo from the infamous Miley Cyrus.

I could do without the excessive screaming on the track “10 2 10,” but I absolutely love the song “First Chain,” featuring hip-hop legend Nas and Kid Cudi. Even though Sean continues to speak about his rise to the top, there is something cool about a rapper stressing some positives in the black community for a change.

“hall of Fame” Big Sean

C+

This album is stacked with wonderful features to bolster solid wordplay from Big Sean himself. If anything, this album shows how connected he is in the rap game. He even enlists Nicki Minaj and Juicy J for the song “MILF” that will surely have you smiling, if not laughing out loud.

Ultimately, the biggest problem with this project is the length. Songs like “Toyota Music” could easily be cut out without losing any substance.

My least favorite song on the album, “Ashley,” featuring R&B singer Miguel, is a total downer. It feels as though he was reaching for more radio spins than being genuine.

Big Sean did not show poor rapping skills on this album, but it failed to give off any signs of staying power. There are a couple very good tracks but also some absolute stinkers.

Miley Cyrus’ MTV Video Music Award performance has been viewed as controversial.

The Dodos release ‘Carrier,’ honor former guitarist Matthew Lovett Senior Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu The Dodos’ fifth full-length album carries the most cumbersome of weights: death. Particularly that of Christopher Reimer, the band’s touring guitarist and former member of Women, who passed away just more than a year before “Carrier’s” release. It is in Reimer’s spirit that “Carrier” was written, establishing a record that is emblazoned with as much nimble-armed musicianship as past Dodos works, but takes on a larger, ominous sensibility.

Guitarist/vocalist Meric Long prefers a subdued, articulate approach in making his hooks on “Carrier.” It’s in its most blatant fashion on “Confidence,” the album’s lead single, which holds off on the signature Dodo breakdown but rather introduces itself slowly.

Long’s separation from his openfire strumming does not stop there; there’s also the last minute of “The Current,” when Long’s perfectly power-pop solo is looped on top of some pedaling overdrive. The second half of Dodos seems to be placing less pressure on himself on “Carrier.” Drummer Logan Kroeber stops hitting the rims of his instrument, pursuing a full-bodied approach. The Dodos’ percussive playing of records prior is dismembered on the new one, which

“Carrier” Dodos

features a duo that is still interwoven yet slightly restrained on certain numbers. As such, “Transformer” is a tender song that exhibits a classic Long/Logan combination that crashes and patters in classic organic form. This contrasts with the far less intricate “Family,” which is less a percussive force and simply drums and guitar.

These shifts in Dodo musicality, although subtle, are attributes of the solemn atmosphere of “Carrier.” It’s in the spacious opening tones of “Death,” and to a lesser degree in “Holidays,” that The Dodos break down, but not with vamped up meter or strumming frenzy. The breakdown is purely emotional. Even in the record’s touching and distinctively Dodos moments (such as the last 30 seconds or so of “Substance”), it is undeniable that Reimer’s own guitar styling provided enough of an inspiration for Long’s performance on “Carrier.”

PLEASE RECYCLE

OSU names 8 captains for 2013 season Daniel Rogers and Dan Hope Asst. sports editor and Oller reporter rogers.746@osu.edu and hope.46@osu.edu The Ohio State football team announced Tuesday that they will have eight game captains for the 2013 season.

The players voted redshirt-senior safety C.J. Barnett, senior wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown, senior safety Christian Bryant, redshirt-senior quarterback Kenny Guiton, redshirt-senior offensive lineman Corey Linsley, redshirt-senior offensive lineman Jack Mewhort, junior quarterback Braxton Miller and junior linebacker Ryan Shazier as the leaders for this year’s team, which hopes to repeat its undefeated 2012 season.

According to a press release, the team will decide at the end of the year which of the eight players should be recognized as the season’s official team captains. Meyer said in the press release that the eight players each received “a lot of votes” and were all within 12 votes of one another.

“It’s the first time I’ve done something like this,” Meyer told the team before announcing the eight game captains, according to the press release.

Mewhort, one of the Buckeyes who attended Big Ten Media Days in Chicago over the summer, has been a part of 35 games for the Buckeyes, including starting for 25 consecutive games heading into this season. He helps to anchor an offensive line that returns four starters from 2012.

In his first three seasons, Mewhort was asked to play multiple positions on the offensive line, starting at left and right guard during his sophomore season before spending all of last year at left tackle.

After a long offseason, Mewhort said Monday he is ready for the season to get underway.

“I think it’s nice just knowing that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and this Saturday we get to go out and play against somebody other than ourselves,” Mewhort said.

Miller was the 2012 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year after breaking a school record with 3,310 yards of total offense last season. He completed 58.3 percent of his passes during the Buckeyes’ undefeated season for 2,039 yards and 15 touchdowns, while he also ran for 1,271 yards, 13 touchdowns and 227 rushing attempts.

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said last week that Miller is “head and shoulders better” than he was last year and the Buckeyes expect him to be a leader this season.

“The trust level that he has in the guys around him has certainly grown and allowed him to take a little bit off his shoulders,” Herman said of Miller. “The trust level he has in himself allows him to be a little bit more relaxed and calm back there and understand when everything looks chaotic.”

Guiton will be Miller’s primary backup at the quarterback position for the second consecutive year this season. He appeared in nine games last season, with his most significant action coming in the Buckeyes’ eighth game of the season versus Purdue. After Miller was knocked out of the game with a third-quarter head injury, Guiton came into the game and led the Buckeyes to game-tying and game-winning drives for a 29-22 overtime win that preserved the Buckeyes’ undefeated season.

Although he does not start, Guiton said last week he tries to take on a leadership role with the offense. He also said he expects to see the field again this season and is prepared to play a crucial role again if needed.

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

Shazier is the Buckeyes’ only returning starter in the defense’s front seven, and one of the team’s

Last year, Shazier led the Big Ten with 17 tackles for loss, the 10th best for a Buckeye in a single season all-time and totaled 115 tackles, good for second in the conference.

He was named the Big Ten defensive player of the week twice in 2012 and finished fourth in the conference with three forced fumbles. He was also named first-team all-Big Ten last year.

Shazier said he’s continually looking to improve.

“I’ve just been trying to focus on some of the things I did last year to continue to keep pushing me this year and even on the things I messed up on last year so I can fix those mistakes and be better,” Shazier said.

Bryant returns to help a defense that has undergone a plethora of changes in the offseason. He started all 12 games last season, and has started a total of 22 games during his time at OSU. The Cleveland-native tallied 70 total tackles in 2012, good for second on the team. He also recorded his only career interception during a game against California last season. His performance as a junior was enough to earn him second-team all-Big Ten honors.

Bryant has 149 total tackles over his career at OSU and has forced three fumbles, both of which are second-best among current players.

Barnett is another returner at the safety position, and comes into the year as the defensive player with the most starts in his career with 24. Although he missed three games in 2012 due to an ankle injury, he still managed to total 56 tackles on the year.

In each of the last two seasons, Barnett has recorded two interceptions, including one against

Michigan last season on the Wolverines’ final drive, which clinched the undefeated season for OSU. With seven new starters on defense this season, Barnett says the pressure on him will be higher.

“A little bit, just to lead. I think they’re a little inexperienced but they’re great players. With Noah (Spence), Mike (Bennett) leading and Adolphus (Washington) I have a lot of confidence in them that they’ll get the job done,” Barnett said.

Brown was OSU’s top receiver in 2012, leading the team with 669 yards and 60 catches and finishing third with three touchdowns. He was awarded the Paul Warfield Award, given to the team’s best receiver, in each of the last two years. Coming into the year, Brown is 22nd on OSU’s all-time receptions list, and was named second-team all-Big Ten last season.

Quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Tom Herman said Brown is a versatile receiver who can help the offense this year.

“Philly (Brown) is kind of a swing guy, if you will.

He can play outside receiver and he can play some inside receiver,” Herman said.

Linsley is a second-year starter at center for the Buckeyes. He started all 12 games for OSU last season and was an honorable mention all-Big Ten selection.

Linsley has been battling back from a foot injury this offseason, but Meyer said Tuesday his center is “90 to 95” percent healthy, and will be ready to play and start for the Buckeyes when they open their season Saturday against Buffalo.

Kickoff for Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium is scheduled for noon.

Women’s soccer set to take on Pittsburgh Jason Morrow Lantern reporter morrow.182@osu.edu After starting the season with two victories over the weekend, the Ohio State women’s soccer team is home to take on Pittsburgh, Wednesday at the Bert L. & Iris S. Wolstein Field at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. With a 2-1 overtime victory over Eastern Michigan Sunday, the No. 24 Buckeyes have tied a program record at 13 straight unbeaten regular season matches, starting in September 2012.

Pittsburgh comes to Wednesday’s contest with a win in its only regular season match so far, defeating Duquesne 1-0 Sunday. Sophomore forward Roosa Arvas scored the only goal of the game for the Panthers.

The two wins over Morehead State and Eastern Michigan for the Buckeyes Friday and Sunday both came in comeback fashion. Lindsey Agnew’s goal in 84th minute Friday defeated Morehead State and Ellyn Gruber’s overtime winner completed the weekend sweep for OSU. Freshman forward Nichelle Prince has been a spark this season as well, adding a goal and two assists in her first two games as a Buckeye.

“Nichelle is a very experienced player, she has (played) with her full national team in Canada,” coach Lori Walker said after Friday’s win. “She is a seasoned player, even as a freshman…It’s a great experience that we have to be able to lean on.”

Walker also spoke of the importance of getting scoring from another freshman in forward Lindsey Agnew. The Buckeyes lost their top two goal scorers from a year ago to graduation.

“I think that those two are gonna have an amazing career together, and people like Michela Paradiso finding them and getting (passes) into them is gonna really fun to watch this year,” Walker said.

With the 3-2 win over Morehead State Friday, Walker reached the 200 career win plateau, becoming the first in school history to achieve the mark. She has spent 17 years as head coach of the Buckeyes, amassing a 188-124-28 record over that time.

These two teams last met in August 2010, as Ohio State traveled to Pittsburgh, shutting out the Panthers 2-0. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

20 The Ohio State football team released its first two-deep depth chart of the season Tuesday, four days prior to the team’s season opener versus Buffalo.

The Buckeyes have a number of notable changes on offense. At wide receiver, junior Evan Spencer is listed as the team’s starting “Z” receiver, while senior Corey Brown and junior Devin Smith are listed as co-starters at the “X” receiver position.

Brown and Smith started opposite one another at wide receiver last season, but Buckeyes offensive coordinator Tom Herman referred to Spencer as one of the team’s starters last week. Spencer has caught 15 total passes for 214 yards in his first two seasons at OSU. With running backs Carlos Hyde and Rod Smith both suspended for the season opener (Hyde is also suspended for two additional games), redshirt-senior Jordan Hall is listed as the team’s starting running

back. Hall has 1,032 career rushing yards for the Buckeyes, but only played in three games last year after cutting his foot on broken glass before the season began and partially tearing the PCL ligament in his knee against Michigan State Sept. 29.

Senior Chris Fields is listed as the Buckeyes’ starting H-back, a hybrid position between running back and wide receiver made famous by wide receiver Percy Harvin while he was at Florida. True freshmen Dontre Wilson and Jalin Marshall are listed behind Fields at the position on the depth chart.

The only change to the starting offensive line from last year is at right tackle, where sophomore Taylor Decker is the starter, replacing Reid Fragel. Redshirtfreshman Kyle Dodson is listed as his backup.

Redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley has been working his way back from a foot injury this offseason, but Meyer said he is “90 to 95” percent healthy.

Meyer said Linsley will start Saturday.

Defensively, the Buckeyes will have just three returning starters on defense Saturday: junior linebacker Ryan Shazier, senior free safety Christian Bryant and redshirt-senior strong safety C.J. Barnett.

Redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby was also

a starter last season, but is suspended for the season opener and therefore not listed on the depth chart.

Junior Doran Grant and sophomore Armani Reeves are listed as the team’s starting cornerbacks.

Meyer said the “jury is certainly out” on the defense, but added that he is “very comfortable” with how both his defensive players and defensive coaches operate.

“I think we’re going to be a faster defense, and hopefully more aggressive as we grow in our scheme,” Meyer said. “Last year, we started the season kind of a bend but don’t break defense where it seems like we’re always on our heels, and that’s not the kind of defense that anybody wants, we want to be an aggressive defense.”

Meyer said the team is going to utilize man coverage more frequently on their defense this season. In order to do so, Meyer said the Buckeyes will use the dime defensive package, which means six defensive backs on the field and only five players in the defensive front, more often than they did in 2012.

Meyer explained that when opponents use an offensive formation that puts extra wide receivers on the field instead of a tight end and/or running back,

the defense must adjust by putting faster players on the field to avoid matchup issues.

“When you start to talk about man coverage, you can’t play it certainly in base and then in nickel, sometimes you get caught with matchup issues, so that’s what the dime defense is for,” Meyer said. “You have to be in some type of dime if you want to play man coverage, and we just didn’t have that capability last year.”

The Buckeyes are replacing six of seven starters on the defensive front seven in their base 4-3 defensive scheme, but Meyer said that a number of the new starters have stood out in their preparation for the season. Meyer said Shazier, junior defensive tackle Michael Bennett and sophomore defensive ends Adolphus Washington and Noah Spence have been standouts in preseason practices this summer.

Senior Drew Basil returns as the team’s kicker, while redshirt-senior George Makridis and redshirtsophomore Bryce Haynes are listed as co-starting long snappers again this season. Cameron Johnston, a freshman from Australia, is listed as the team’s punter.

The Buckeyes will take on Buffalo on Saturday at noon.

studentvoice Higher education changes will leave Ohio residents footing the bill

UNC-Chapel Hill students march outside Reynolds Coliseum at N.C. State with a coalition of student organizations voicing their support for the Dream Act and asking President Barack Obama to stop deportations, Sept. 14, 2011 in Raleigh, N.C.

campus Columnist

An individual living in the U.S. without legal permission will soon have the ability to attend Ohio’s public colleges for an in-state tuition price, according to a recent Ohio Board of Regents decision. dave dziak John Carey, dziak.5@osu.edu Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents announced late July the Board will move to supply higher education at a much reduced cost of in-state tuition as opposed to international or out-ofstate tuition. The decision came from consulting with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.

Those who would qualify are enrolled in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which was put into place by the Obama administration in June 2012. The program includes children who came to the

United States before turning 16, and grants them a two year legal status which can be renewed.

“These individuals would be eligible for in-state tuition if all other all residency conditions under Ohio law are met,” Carey said in a public letter to DREAM Activist Ohio, an advocacy group pushing for the lower tuition rate.

However, schools will make the final determination if the students meet the residency requirements, according to the Acting Communications Director for the Board of Regents, Jeff Robinson.

“Each student will have to go to the university and renew their residency status,” he said.

Not all Ohio lawmakers agree on the Board of Regents decision, however. Representative Matt Lynch (R-Bainbridge Township) is sponsoring a house bill (H.B. No. 254) that would “prohibit state institutions of higher education from providing in-state residency status to undocumented aliens,” according to the bill language.

“The recent decision by the Board of Regents will cost Ohio taxpayers tens of millions of dollars,” Lynch said in a statement released and provided in an email to The Lantern.

There are currently approximately 600,000 higher education students enrolled in the Ohio University

System, according to the Board of Regents. Only about 2,900 youths have been accepted as part of the DACA in Ohio as of June, and about 553,000 nationally. Not all of the 2,900 are college aged, but it still presents a potentially overwhelming cost.

The average in-state tuition for a four year college in Ohio in 2012-2013 is about $9,200. However, international or out-of-state costs are significantly higher.

At Ohio State the approximate cost for in-state tuition is $10,010, not including room and board or other fees. For international students, which these students would most likely fall under, is $26,726, and with room and board along with other costs, is estimated by OSU to be more than $40,000. For tuition only, this saves these students who were living in the U.S. without legal permission about $16,700, with puts the financial strain on Ohio taxpayers supporting public universities as well as other students.

Ryan Dechellis, an out-of-state second-year in honors economics and financial mathematics said he is “infuriated.”

“The state allowing an illegal immigrant into a public university is frustrating enough to begin with,” he said.

“On top of that, allowing them to qualify for in-state tuition when they are not technically an Ohio citizen,

blows my mind.”

However, not all OSU students are opposed to the idea.

Fourth-year in communication and out-of-state student Ethan Finkelstein, said that since “most illegal immigrants are not as financially secure as the average American citizen, it provides a more practical opportunity for potentially underprivileged citizens to receive higher education.”

In addition, while only 2,900 students have been accepted in DACA, this could quickly change as there are an estimated 300,000 unauthorized immigrants in Ohio as of 2010, up from 212,000 in 2000, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project launched in February 2011.

Trends are similar nationally, with an estimated 11.2 million as of 2010, up from 8.4 million in 2000.

With 14 public universities with 24 regional branch campuses, 23 community colleges, and 120 adult workforce education and training centers in the Ohio University System, who will be left to pick up the tab?

Dave Dziak is an employee of the Ohio House of Representatives Republican Caucus.
