Ohio State community members are riding city buses more and are, as a whole, paying more for it, according to data provided by the Central Ohio Transit Authority.

OSU affiliate ridership increased by roughly 21.3 percent from 2009 to 2012, according to COTA data emailed to The Lantern by Marty Stutz, vice president of communications, marketing and customer service for COTA. In 2009, OSU riders used the COTA nearly 1.3 million times to get around the city. Two years later, ridership peaked at about 1.9 million rides in a year.

The numbers then went down, decreasing by almost 17 percent in 2012 to approximately 1.5 million.

Meanwhile, OSU students’ COTA fees stayed the same, despite the overall revenue increase — students paid a $9 quarterly fee to ride COTA buses when OSU was on the quarter system. On the semester system, students pay a $13.50 fee per semester to ride. Both total

OSU member ridership increased by 21.3 percent from 2009 to 2012 OSU ridership was at its highest in 2011 with almost 1.9M rides Ridership decreased in 2012 by almost 17 percent to about 1.6M rides source: reporting

a fee of $27 per academic year.

Stutz said the 2012 decrease in riders was likely due to a new swipe system, which allows OSU affiliates to swipe their BuckIDs when they get on the bus as a form of payment, introduced in February 2012.

Prior to the change, students paid a fee for unlimited use of the COTA bus system and simply showed their BuckIDs to the bus driver to gain access, Stutz said.

“We speculate that the swipe requirement eliminated a lot of people taking advantage of the BuckID-COTA program even though

they were not actually enrolled (in classes),” Stutz said.

COTA spent $2 million for the enhanced farebox technology, he said.

Some OSU students said they have adjusted to the swipe system since it was implemented.

Richard LeMaster, a fifth-year in Japanese, uses COTA as his mode of transportation to campus.

“I didn’t see it as a big deal after they fixed the initial bugginess of the system,” he said. “I’m guessing they moved to it to keep people from using just any BuckID to get on the bus for free.”

On the other hand, some students said the old system would have benefited them long-run.

“It kind of sucks you can’t use it after you graduate,” said Sophia Eyerman, a fifth-year in English.

BuckID director David Anthony said the vast majority of denied rides are due to non-students attempting to swipe an invalid BuckID. “Occasionally, we will see students attempting to swipe on the buses prior to the start of the academic term. That issue resolves itself since students can swipe the week classes begin,” he said. “The other issue we see occasionally is damaged cards that won’t swipe.

We replace worn or damaged cards at no cost. The only requirement is the old card needs to be turned in to our office.”

Stutz said the new swipe system was partly implemented to keep riders honest.

“The program protects the integrity of the partnership so that students are getting the value for their fee, and not subsidizing non-students to ride for free,” he said.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor talked to college media outlets via videoconference Tuesday about the insurance industry.

Man pulled from Mirror Lake dies LIZ YOUNG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu

Some Ohio State students may soon want to start looking at careers in insurance.

Ohio insurance companies may have more job openings by 2020 than people to fill the openings because of retiring older workers and the expansion of insurance companies in Ohio, according to the Insuring Ohio Futures campaign website.

Gov. John Kasich’s office partnered with the Ohio Department of Insurance to promote the Insuring Ohio Futures Campaign, which is aimed at educating college students on the increasing job availability in the state’s insurance industry.

According to Republican Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, Ohio ranks seventh in the nation for the number of insurance jobs with more than 250 insurance companies based in-state, contributing to roughly 100,000 jobs within the industry.

The Insuring Ohio Futures campaign was formed in March 2013, according to its website.

In a Tuesday videoconference with The Lantern and other college media outlets, Taylor, who is also the director of the Ohio Department of Insurance,

said the insurance industry will face big changes in the coming years.

“As we face the impact of retiring baby boomers, there will be a lot of turnover in the industry,” Taylor said. “These are stable, good paying jobs that include a number of professions, professions not everybody thinks about when they think about the (insurance) industry.”

Taylor said there are a variety of jobs in the insurance industry that pay above the median income in Ohio and offer college students opportunities to move up the ladder and gain promotions.

“There is more to insurance than just sales.

Insurance companies in Ohio need accountants, actuaries, adjusters, attorneys as well as physicians,” Taylor said, adding that customer service and marketing positions are also becoming available.

Some Ohio State students like Zeina Hidmi, a second-year in pharmacy, are unsure of the purpose behind the Insuring Ohio Futures campaign, though, and think the governor’s office might be overstepping its boundaries.

“I think it is too out of line for the state governor’s office to get involved. Maybe it should come from the student government at universities, but the state

Columbus Police Department evacuated after explosion reported An officer walks by caution tape after an explosion was reported at the Columbus Division of Police Department. Details of the incident were still not known at the time, Officer W. Morrell told The Lantern Sept.

24. Todd Blackstone, a crane operator near the police department, said he heard a bang and could smell gunpowder a few moments after the noise. No injuries were reported.

The man who was pulled from Mirror Lake in August died after spending roughly a month in critical condition.

Tushar Shriram Kabre, age 28, died Thursday at 11:15 a.m. at the Wexner Medical Center. His cause of death was near drowning, Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak said.

His manner of death was still undetermined as of 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Gorniak said.

While cause of death refers to why a person died, manner of death explains how the person died, whether it was accidental, natural, a suicide or a murder, according to Oracle’s ThinkQuest.

Kabre was taken to the hospital in critical condition Aug. 18 and was placed in the Intensive Care Unit. A Medical Center spokeswoman told The Lantern earlier this month Kabre had been removed from the ICU but remained in critical condition.

Kabre was pulled from the lake after a 911 call reporting a “person in distress in Mirror Lake” was received at approximately 5 p.m.

campus OSU alumnus honored for discovery of microorganism JUSTIN CLINE Lantern reporter cline.322@osu.edu It may not have seemed significant in 1967 when OSU alumnus Thomas Brock discovered a microorganism at Yellowstone National Park, but he was given credit for his work with the Golden Goose Award in Washington, D.C., last week.

The award, represented with a trophy, recognizes federally funded research that may have seemed insignificant at the time of discovery but has since shown societal impact, according to a Golden Goose press release.

What makes the bacterium, named Thermus aquaticus, unique is its ability to live in temperatures almost as high as the boiling point of water. Brock said that quality was what later made his discovery significant.

“When they were developing techniques for studying DNA, they needed an enzyme that would work at high temperatures,” Brock, who graduated from OSU in 1952 with bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. degrees in botany, said.

The bacteria that were being used could not tolerate the heat and were inactivated, he said.

Due to its heat-resistant trait, though, an enzyme of Thermus aquaticus became a crucial factor in DNA processing.

The bacterium has recently been used as part of a process called polymerase chain reaction, which allows researchers to produce copies of specific DNA sequences for DNA testing, sequencing and diagnosing disease . Brock said the process is key to studying DNA. “Almost anything where you’re going to do DNA work uses this technique. Although I didn’t discover the technique, the organism I discovered plays a critical role in it,” Brock said.

At the time of the discovery, Brock was a professor of microbiology at Indiana University.

He and a then-third-year undergraduate research assistant, Hudson Freeze — who won the Golden Goose Award along with Brock — isolated a strand of the organism which was used by Kary Mullis to perfect the technique of PCR , Freeze said.

Mullis’ technique won him a Nobel Prize

and “went on to be the basis of essentially the entire genetic revolution,” Freeze said.

“Today, every rare disease that’s being diagnosed is diagnosed on the basis of changes in the DNA, and you evaluate and recognize those changes because of PCR,” Freeze said.

Brian Lower, an OSU assistant professor of environmental microbiology, said PCR has made many other discoveries possible.

“It opened the door to all sorts of different tools for biotechnology, agriculture and forensic science,” Lower said.

Other uses include DNA isolation, amplification and quantification, Freeze said, which can use trace amounts of ancient DNA to help identify what types of diseases Egyptian King Tutankhamun, who lived during 1300 B.C., may have had or help identify the body of English King Richard III, who lived in the 1400s.

“The possibilities are endless because every organism except for a few viruses has to have DNA, so you can recognize the fingerprints of that DNA by using PCR,” Freeze said.

Lake from 1A Ohio State Public Safety Mobile Command Unit that was in the area to get additional help.

OSU assistant vice president of media and public relations Gayle Saunders sent a university statement about Kabre’s death to The Lantern Tuesday afternoon.

“Our hearts and thoughts go out to the family and friends of Tushar Shriram Kabre during this very difficult time. We will continue to make university resources available to them,” the email read.

Police officers and Student Safety officers jumped into Mirror Lake Aug. 18 to pull Kabre from the water and bystanders reported paramedics performed CPR and chest resuscitations for several minutes without any apparent reaction from Kabre.

OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said in an August email that Kabre “received a masters of science in chemistry degree in Autumn 2011” but he was not currently enrolled at the university.

OSU Ph.D. candidate Krishna Patel, an acquaintance of Kabre’s from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, told The Lantern Aug. 19 that Kabre was a student from India and said he didn’t know of any relatives of Kabre’s in the area.

Attempts to locate relatives of Kabre were unsuccessful.

Aug. 18 Tushar Shriram Kabre pulled from Mirror Lake at about 5 p.m.

Aug. 18 Kabre placed in the Intensive Care Unit at the Wexner Medical Center

Sept. 24 Kabre’s manner of death was still undetermined as of 2:45 p.m.

Sept. 19 Kabre died at 11:15 a.m. his cause of death was near drowning.

Jumping in Mirror Lake before the OSU football game against the University of Michigan is a university tradition but not a university sanctioned event.

OSU’s Tuesday statement touched on the possibility of Kabre’s death influencing the future of the Mirror Lake area.

“This tragic situation and other concerns have prompted renewed conversation among university leaders about how best to ensure that Mirror Lake is both a beautiful and safe feature on our campus,” the statement read.

Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said Aug. 19 how Kabre being pulled from Mirror Lake would affect the jump was unknown.

“Certainly the Mirror Lake jump will be discussed and, if appropriate, we will reflect on the unfortunate incident of another night,” Isaacs said.

Isaacs referred The Lantern to Saunders for further comment on the incident Tuesday.

Some students said they hope Kabre’s death doesn’t affect OSU’s treatment of the lake. “(The incident) shouldn’t impact whether we have a lake or not on campus, accidents are bound to

happen,” said Paul Linville, a first-year in computer science. “This lake is used by enough students in the right way … (Incidents like this are) just too rare to want to take action against the lake.”

Some OSU students said they think the Mirror Lake jump in particular is safer than a normal day at the lake because of an increased police presence.

“At the Mirror Lake jump, there (are) a lot of people around … so there would be more people around to react to help somebody who couldn’t swim or was struggling,” said Savannah Bever, a third-year in cellular and molecular neuroscience.

Others said they didn’t think the death of a former student should influence the tradition.

“Mirror Lake jump is obviously dangerous and kind of ridiculous, but I mean, everyone is watching and there is a lot of supervision. Also, police officials are on the scene so I don’t think it should be canceled and I don’t think canceling it would be very successful either,” said Harrison Levy, a second-year in Japanese.

Linville said he doesn’t think OSU will do anything to change the Mirror Lake jump.

“This lake is tradition … it would be hard to take action after one incident like that,” he said.

“I couldn’t see it happening and I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Much like the surprise of Thermus aquaticus’s eventual application, the Golden Goose Award came out of the blue, Freeze said.

“The importance of the story is really to show you can’t predict where science is going to take you, and one discovery that seems unimportant or even wrong-headed can turn out to be something really important,” Freeze said.

Both Brock and Freeze attended the award ceremony Thursday, where they used their spotlight to highlight the importance of federallyfunded research to the members of Congress in attendance, Brock said.

government should not be advocating for private companies,” Hidmi said.

Taylor said the motives behind the Insuring Ohio Futures campaign are to stimulate the Ohio economy and make it more business-friendly.

“What we’ve been trying to do from a state perspective is make Ohio a better place to do business and have less mandates and regulations, not more — a place where businesses can come be successful and employ more Ohioan(s). It’s about good job opportunities for all Ohio citizens,” Taylor said.

College students are not the only group the Insuring Ohio Futures campaign aims to inform. Taylor said education of veterans has been emphasized as well.

“It’s just as important to focus on our military folks, veterans who are coming back to Ohio and have specialized skills and knowledge that very

quickly and easily translates into an industry like insurance,” Taylor said.

Samuel Montana, a second-year in psychology, said he thinks more young people would consider going into the insurance industry if they knew there were jobs there.

“I don’t think the idea of a career in insurance sounds interesting to many students, but if they have a degree and are trying to provide for their families in a struggling job market, it seems like a great way to go for me,” Montana said.

Montana said he doesn’t see a downside to educating people on the options available.

“I’m not for a lot of government regulation and involvement in the economy, but I don’t see how this campaign could be a bad thing for the state,” Montana said.

College Democrats did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment Tuesday night.

Pair of walk-ons making impact for men’s soccer Eran Hami Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu From 2008 State champions at St. Ignatius, to Ohio State men’s club soccer teammates, to walk-ons for the Buckeyes, senior forward Denio Leone and junior midfielder Ryan Ivancic have been playing together for years.

Both players went to St. Ignatius in Cleveland, overlapping in 2008 and were recruited by other Division 1 schools, but chose to pursue their education at OSU. Ivancic and Leone were two of the men chosen to play with the varsity team at OSU in the spring of 2012 but were cut for the fall roster last season. They were again invited back in the pool of players to play on the spring team in 2013.

A second time was enough for them to prove they could play at the varsity level and they were added to OSU’s roster for this season.

“Once I came out and played with the varsity guys and saw that I was able to keep up with the pace of the game, I thought it was definitely something I could do,” Leone said.

In high school, Leone was a three-year letter winner and 2008 state champion, and earned All-Cleveland honors.

At St. Ignatius, Ivancic won two state titles, joining his now OSU teammate 2008 and again in 2010, and was a state runner-up in 2009. He is one of three high school players in Ohio to play in three consecutive state title games. Ivancic was also recognized his senior year as a Wendy’s Heisman State Finalist, All-Ohio ESPN Rise Honorable Mention and 2010 ESPN Rise/Powerade High School Boys National Champion. He served as a captain his senior year.

Even though he had success playing the sport in high school, Leone said his passion for soccer was missing when he graduated.

“At that point in time … I was kind of sick of soccer,” Leone said. “(I) decided … I’m not going to play, so I’m just going to go Ohio State.”

Ivancic originally committed to play Big Ten soccer at Northwestern, but de-committed for financial reasons.

“I was really more interested in school anyway. I wanted to go to a good school that I liked,” Ivancic said. “I wasn’t going to chase soccer around.”

After just a year away from the game, Leone said

Shelby Lum/ Photo editor

Senior forward Denio Leone (15) works around defenders during a match against IPFW Aug. 20 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. OSU won, 2-0. he felt a void in his life, leading him to try out for the club team.

Ivancic on the other hand, said he knew right away he wanted to keep soccer in his life.

“Coming in, I think I knew I was going to try to walk-on,” Ivancic said. “I walked-on my freshman year when I made the spring team but got cut for the fall.”

Leone spent three seasons on the club team, leading the team in goals in both 2011 and 2012. Both Leone and Ivancic played a part in getting the team to club nationals back-to-back seasons in 2011 and 2012.

Club team president Tim Grozier has played with both men and said Leone possess skills that really help a team out.

“Denio is really good at holding the ball up top and allowing the team time to transition from defense to offense,” Grozier said in an email.

Grozier said because Ivancic is “deceptively quick,” it makes him dangerous on the wings.

“He is able to put in very good crosses from the wings and can combine well with other players in tight spaces,” Grozier said.

Coach John Bluem said it is difficult to walk-on.

“Over the years we have added some kids, but it has been very, very few,” Bluem said. “It’s been less than a handful.”

Bluem said he likes Ivancic’s “work rate.”

“He’s very fit and gets up and down the flank,” Bluem said. “He’s a good competitor and fights for the team throughout the 90 minutes.”

Bluem said Leone does well controlling the game up front.

“Denio is a very good target player,” Bluem said.

“When you play the ball to him, he can hold it and help us get our midfield forward into the attack.”

Leone has played in all eight matches thus far and started two of them. Ivancic has also played in every match and started seven. Each has one goal on the season.

Leone and Ivancic are now aiming for a Big Ten title and still believe it is possible despite a 2-4-2 start to the season.

“We’ve had no Big Ten games yet, but it’s on the horizon. We start on Sunday against Indiana,” Leone said.

Ivancic said the talent is there to win it, but they have to figure out how each player fits into the mold of the team.

“We have a lot of really good players … If we believe in each other and believe in the system, I think we’ll end up having a good season,” Ivancic said.

Field hockey halts losing streak, beats Kent State, 4-3 Michelle ritter Lantern reporter ritter.1449@osu.edu The Ohio State field hockey team suffered four consecutive losses, but ended its slump with a 4-3 win over Kent State.

OSU claimed its first win since Sept. 6 when it took on the Golden Flashes at Murphy-Mellis Field Tuesday afternoon in Kent, Ohio a game in which both teams were able to score twice in the first half. Freshman forward Brooke Hiltz stood out for the Buckeyes, netting two goals, once in each half and adding an assist.

The Golden Flashes got on the board early in the game, when junior midfielder Hannah Faulkner scored seven minutes in. The Buckeyes answered quickly, though, as Hiltz scored the first goal of her career less than two minutes later. Sophomore forward Peanut Johnson put the OSU in the lead with another first half goal, before Kent State was able to tie the game up heading into the break.

The Golden Flashes came out of halftime quickly, taking a 3-2 lead just 27 seconds after the intermission.

The Buckeyes completed the comeback with

Then-sophomore midfielder Mona Frommhold (8) plays the ball during a game against Penn State Oct. 19, at Buckeye Varsity Field. OSU lost, 3-0. another goal from Hiltz coupled with one from senior midfielder Mona Frommhold in the 52nd and 54th minutes respectively.

Coach Anne Wilkinson said the offense stepped up

and was able to control themselves through the ups and downs of the game.

“Our focus was mainly on our offense this game,” Wilkinson said. “I am pleased with the win … it was nice to see us finishing.”

Wilkinson said it is never easy winning on another team’s turf, let alone an in-state team that targets OSU. She added it is nice to be going into a Big Ten game coming off a win.

“It was a great game for both teams,” Wilkinson said. “It was a high pace game and it was nice to see a lot of people step up in different areas.”

Frommhold said it was a tough match, going down two times, but the team pushed one another to finish the game.

“We played really (well) together,” Frommhold said.

“We supported each other and motivated each other through the whole game.”

OSU is scheduled to take on Michigan State Saturday in East Lansing, Mich., at 1 p.m. This is the first Big Ten opponent the Buckeyes will face this season.

They are scheduled to return to Buckeye Varsity Field Tuesday to take on No. 25 Louisville.

Say what you want, former Buckeye Pryor still fun to watch Sports Columnist

It is a day some people saw as unlikely, and others saw as imminent: Terrelle Pryor has a starting quarterback job in the NFL. The former Ohio State signal caller is most known around Columbus for his Matthew Mithoefer involvement in mithoefer.3@osu.edu the 2011 NCAA violations, known as “Tattoo-Gate,” in which he was found to have sold memorabilia and received improper benefits.

Pryor was named the Oakland Raiders starter coming out of training camp, beating out Matt Flynn, who the organization traded for in the offseason as well as 2013 NFL Draft pick Matt McGloin.

However, three games into a season is usually the time to assess one’s play, especially the offensive leader of a 1-2 team.

In his first start of 2013 (Pryor’s first career start came in a 2012 Week 17 loss in place of an injured Carson Palmer), Pryor and the Raiders fell to Indianapolis, 21-17, thanks to Andrew Luck’s game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Pryor’s gutsy performance earned him national recognition however, as his 112 rushing yards led the league that day, running backs included.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) avoids a sack during a game against the Denver Broncos Sept. 23 at Sports Authority Field. Denver won, 37-21.

The following week brought Pryor his first career victory in a sloppy game all around. The Raiders beat the woeful Jacksonville Jaguars 19-9, while Pryor passed for just 126 yards.

The third-round pick of the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft had his best statistical outing on Monday night in a lopsided loss to Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos.

Despite being the matchup’s lesser quarterback, Pryor notched respectable career highs as a starter in passing yards (281), completion percentage (67.9) and passer rating (112.4).

Pryor has ample opportunity to improve his numbers and reverse his team’s fortune in the coming weeks, as five of Oakland’s next six opponents currently sport losing records.

If Pryor struggles through this stretch, expect Raider coach Dennis Allen to hand the offense’s reigns over to backup Flynn. The former Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson backup, who is guaranteed $6.5 million from the Raiders this season according to the San Francisco Chronicle, is once again holding a clipboard on the sideline.

A big hit late Monday night against Denver left Pryor with a concussion; he is currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Washington. If unable to play, Flynn will get a chance to prove himself in front of the Raider faithful.

It will be interesting to see how Pryor leads the Raiders moving forward. Whether in fantasy football or in real life it is hard to deny that the Jeanette, Pa., quarterback is fun to watch. That is, of course, if you’ve forgiven him for his role in “Tattoo-Gate.”

Josh Radnor: ‘I love being from Columbus’ Halie Williams Arts editor williams.3948@osu.edu While 1,400 people is a relatively small number of Ohio State students, when that was roughly the turnout to listen to “How I Met Your Mother’s” Josh Radnor speak at OSU, he was taken aback.

“There are a lot of people here, jeez,” Radnor said to the audience Monday evening. “This would be my whole college… plus a few hundred more.”

The Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event, “An Evening With Josh Radnor,” was held in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom and gave students a look into Radnor’s life as an actor, writer and director.

Radnor, who has starred in CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother” since the show’s premiere in 2005 and appeared in movies like “Liberal Arts” and “Happythankyoumoreplease,” which he also directed, took the stage about 7 p.m. to a standing ovation from the crowd.

He unbuttoned his flannel to reveal an OSU T-shirt, while seeming surprised by the crowd’s roaring applause.

“I do a lot of college speaking, but this is the best one,” Radnor said as the audience returned to their seats.

The Columbus-native, who grew up in nearby Bexley, said in an interview with The Lantern before his lecture that he comes home to Ohio often and it’s a “cool” feeling to be back.

“It’s really nice to see how Columbus changes every time I come home.

I think it’s much more dynamic and the arts scene is better now; it feels like there’s better restaurants,” he said in the interview. “It feels like the whole city has really come into its own in a really nice way. So, I really love being from Columbus and I’m always happy to come back.”

Radnor said growing up in Columbus has molded his personality in some ways.

“I love being from the Midwest — and I think that’s shaped my perspective in that I care about being friendly and open and I value that,” he said. “I don’t think that being cool or aloof is cool. I think that it’s nicer to be nice. That’s like pure Midwest to me.”

The actor’s lecture coincided with the premiere of the ninth and final season of “HIMYM,” which drew in about 9.40 million viewers, according to Nielsen TV Ratings. The show was streamed during the event because Radnor said he didn’t want fans to feel as though they had to choose between the two.

“You get to see it commercial-free and I’m here,” Radnor said when audience members expressed their sadness that he couldn’t stream it until 8 p.m., when the rest of the world would be able to watch the show as well.

And although Radnor is most well-known as his character, Ted Mosby, he said the show doesn’t consume his life like fans might expect.

“If I think about my life, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ is probably the fifth thing I think about. And sometimes the fans are so invested in it, more than we are as a cast,” Radnor said in the one-on-one interview. “So it’s a little unnerving to meet fans sometimes and they just know the show so well and assume that you’re that character living in that life.”

There might be some similarities Radnor shares with Ted, but he said there are also an immense number of differences.

“The Ted thing is funny, because it’s not me. I don’t tell people I love them on the first date. I don’t wear red cowboy boots. I’m not an architect. My life is so different than his. But at the same time, you’re lending so much of yourself, I lend my physicality — he looks so much like me,” he joked. “I’m playing a character. So, I tend to look at Ted as my annoying younger brother, I see some of myself in him but also I’m like, ‘Why is he doing that?’”

The event was set up to be a type of Q-and-A session, with questions taken from the audience as well as from Twitter, but Radnor was adamant that the night would feel like more of a conversation with the fans.

“What’s up? How’s OSU? Do you like it?” he asked the attendees toward the beginning of the night.

Radnor also noticed comments that were shouted and subtle movements from the crowd.

“You’re leaving? Where are you going?” he asked a female student as she got up to leave the room about halfway through the lecture.

When she replied saying she had an exam to go to, Radnor asked everyone to wish her good luck, telling her “you got this” before she exited.

Other topics Radnor discussed ranged from how his parents met, to how he got into acting, to his experience as a director.

About halfway through the lecture, while reading through questions on Twitter, Radnor stopped to request something from the audience.

“Can I ask a favor of you guys? I’m gonna keep making movies, but I’m not making movies in like a studio system so you’re not gonna see them on huge

Griffin Ballroom. billboards all the time, because that stuff costs a lot of money,” he said. “But if you enjoy tonight, will you seek out my movies? Will you tell your friends about my movies? And when I have a new one coming out, will you somehow find out about it and go see it and let me know?”

Acknowledging that most of his fan base came from playing Ted, Radnor informed his fans that his movies aren’t quite the same as the show.

“I’m trying to find my audience, and I know I have this huge audience for ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and my films are different than that — but I don’t think that if you like ‘How I Met Your Mother’ that you won’t like my movies,” he said.

“But (‘HIMYM’ characters) Marshall and Barney — they’re not gonna be there.

I’m sometimes there in a beard, but I’m not gonna be in my next one.”

Samantha Provenzano, a first-year in business, said she attended the soldout event, which ended around 10 p.m., because she’s a “HIMYM” fan, but ended up getting more than she anticipated.

“It was great because he was so much more than you would think of a Hollywood actor,” she said. “He was really deep and philosophical and I really enjoyed it.”

Other students attended for different reasons.

“This kid right here, his birthday is in two days,” said second-year political science major, Jack Fogle, explaining that he brought his younger, teenage brother, Ben Fogle, to the event as a birthday gift. “He’s watched every episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ at least five times so I wanted to give him the ultimate birthday present.”

Most of the lecture centered around Radnor’s television and film career, but he didn’t leave without giving the audience some advice for the “real world.”

“You’re gonna get crushed, but just prepare yourself for that initial feeling of ‘Oh my God, I miss college and I miss my friends and I miss the meal plan. This is horrible,’” he said. “But it levels out, you get through it. You find your balance again then things become extra exciting because you’re actually making something of yourself.”

OUAB declined to disclose costs of the event and photography was not permitted during the night.

COMMENTARY

MIA justly calls NFL fine on Super Bowl performance ‘ridiculous’ Shelby Lum Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu Bad girl MIA’s reign might get crumpled like a paper plane.

The NFL and the British rapper, who’s real name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, have been at war over her performance with Madonna at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show, in which she flipped her middle finger at the camera. The NFL, apparently the clear, shining beacon of family values, has fired back with a $1.5 million fine, saying not only did her show breach her performance contract, but it was also a “flagrant disregard for the values that form the cornerstone of the NFL brand and the Super Bowl,” the NFL’s legal filing said.

The lawsuit, which has been pretty quiet since the incident, recently bubbled up into the public eye when MIA posted a video Monday of an interview in which she called the NFL’s actions “completely ridiculous.”

And it does seem ridiculous, and yet it isn’t the most laughable thing the NFL has done.

“They want me on my knees, to say sorry so they can slap me on my wrist, and basically say it’s okay for me to promote being sexually exploited as a female, but then to display female empowerment through being punk rock,” MIA said in the video.

After reflecting over what is more offensive than MIA’s middle finger (and chuckling over the NFL thinking it has a “wholesome” reputation to uphold), here are some things that are worse: -Michael Vick, playing for the Atlanta Flacons, flipped the bird toward fans in 2006 after a 31-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints. This was one of NFL’s players. One of its people. His fine: $10,000 with a suggested $10,000 charity donation.

-As MIA pointed out, the cheerleaders, who looked to be under 16 years old and were backing up Madonna, were more wild than her finger by far. Come

-New York Jets linebacker, Bart Scott, was fined only $10,000 for flipping off reporters in the locker room this year.

-The Combine question that gained a lot of attention: “Do you like girls?” Colorado tight end, Nick Kasa, was asked this question at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, where NFL hopefuls showcase their physical abilities for coaches and scouts. The question seems much more relevant than his 40-yard dash time or what he can bench.

-Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show cost CBS a hefty $550,000

fine from the Federal Communications Commission.

Wait, no, the Supreme Court relieved CBS of having to pay that fine. The woman’s breasts were exposed on national television, and the NFL is trying to claim that MIA’s middle finger is worse and worth more than double the fine that was slapped on CBS. -Consider the Bud Light classroom commercial with Carlos Mencia that aired during the 2007 Super Bowl. Know a social or racial stereotype? Odds are it made it into this commercial, which then made its way into a coveted advertising slot. The commercial showed Mencia teaching a classroom of men how to ask for a Bud Light depending on which region of the country they are in, making sure his “students” adhered to the stereotypical norms of the area.

studentvoice Resident: Secret roommate Safety concerns raised after secret roomate discovered could have been worse “Dude, there’s been a guy living in our basement.”

I was expecting more of a “Hey man, what are you doing tonight?” from my housemate, Mitch, when I saw him standing outside our house talking to another few friends of mine one Friday evening.

After I was able to wrap my head around what Mitch said, I went to check out what I thought was a gas and utility closet. Turns out it was a full carpeted bedroom where an unknown man was able to make himself a home.

Books, a mattress, a mini fridge and basic cable television all accompanied the unknown man we grew to assume was an OSU student named Jeremy, for free.

It could be argued Jeremy was in a better, more comfortable living situation than half of my roommates — including myself — at no cost.

I was in shock, to say the least, that this could have happened without us noticing. Our lease space takes up the second and third floors of the our 13th Avenue house and the first floor belonging to another set of tenants. This left the basement for Jeremy.

As the days passed, my roommates and I were able to ease up a bit and joke about the situation, thinking this would make top news in Columbus.

It did a little more than that.

A group text between my nine roommates and I mainly has consisted of links to different articles covering our story, originally from The Lantern, over the past few weeks. USA TODAY, ABC News and “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno have spread the news around the country and the world.

After my housemate Mark’s text about

From the frequent public safety notice emails to nearly constant scary stories passed amongst students and friends to the latest Lantern coverage of the unknown roommate living in a house with students, Ohio Madelyn grant State’s campus grant.382@osu.edu has had an extra eerie feel to it as of late.

Having the luxury of attending a Big Ten school that sits in the middle of a large city with a great number of restaurants and shops is rare. OSU combines the college atmosphere with an abundant city life.

However, the close proximity of campus to such a big city— Columbus has a population of about 800,000 according to Census Bureau— along with the added typical crazy college environment of any big school, comes with a constant risk of crime.

The Lantern recently broke the story of an unknown roommate that was found to be living in the basement of a house of OSU students on 13th Avenue. The story received national and international attention and, of course, caught the attention of many OSU students.

Home break-ins and attacks on campus have been of major concern at OSU in the recent years due to increased attention to crime on campus and in the close surrounding area.

It has not exactly been rare to hear of students getting jumped on campus or while walking to their off-campus houses, nor is it rare to hear of home burglaries near campus.

The story by The Lantern likely got students who were already concerned about the safety at their off-campus homes thinking about the real risks.

The unwelcome roommate living in the house on 13th Avenue proved to be harmless to the residents

MJ Dorony Senior Lantern reporter dorony.4@osu.edu

Jay Leno including our story in one of his monologues, my housemate James went ahead and replied that we’ve hit our peak of news attention. But my housemate Shaun and I still have dibs for an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC’s “TODAY,” we’re just waiting for that phone call.

BuzzFeed decided to give a funny twist to our story, a tale of what we always thought was a ghost turned into a student living in our basement. At one point, we joked there was a ghost opening kitchen cabinets, but we ended up deciding it was one of us sleep-walking (most likely me) since nothing was stolen.

All kidding aside, we were fortunate to not have someone different in the basement that had other intentions, such as looking to steal any valuables. All it ended up being was an extra roommate that stayed in the room from a previous lease and all he wanted was a roof above his head. When we asked him to, Jeremy moved his stuff out without hassle and life has gone on.

If anything can be learned from this ridiculous story, it’s that instead of doing the traditional tasks upon moving into a new place of taking photos of marks on the wall and taking note of whatever the house is missing, check things out beyond that and make sure to hold your landlords accountable once moved in.

Even give that creepy basement a look, because there might just be something unexpected around the corner. In our case, we got an extra bedroom and an extra roommate.

of the house, but the story did not fail to incite fear in some OSU students. That situation could have gone very differently.

Vanessa Aldag, a fifth-year in early childhood education, said the story has impacted how she views campus safety.

“I feel unsafe knowing that there might be someone that could potentially be in my house. It has made my roommates and I more cautious about locking doors and windows,” Aldag said.

This is the dark and unfortunate side of a campus as heavily populated and alive as OSU’s.

The fear I feel walking at night, whether it is home from the library or to a party off campus, is always heightened. I would never dare walk anywhere alone or without a friend knowing where I am coming from and where I am heading.

The university has made efforts to keep students informed of crimes occurring off campus and in the surrounding area. The public safety notice emails sent to students give a detailed description of where and when the crimes occurred and any other important information students may need to know to stay safe.

According to The Ohio State University Department of Public Safety website, there have been three public safety notice emails to the student body since the start of the school year in August.

There were also several emails sent out last year by former OSU President E. Gordon Gee to alert students of the heightened crime rates and how to be safer onand off-campus.

Some students see different measures OSU could be taking to keep students safe.

“Information is kind of key and they could send out more messages about being safe on campus, what is going on where, what you can do to prevent those crimes,” said Tyler La Susa, a third-year in civil engineering.

I have never personally felt overly safe at OSU and, although I know the university has made and continues to make efforts to keep students safe, I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable walking on- or off-campus without pepper spray firmly clutched in my palm.

OSU’s off-campus litter signals disrespect to community

Logan hickman / Lantern reporter

The area surrounding OSU’s campus can often be found littered with empty cans, broken glass and other trash.

campus Columnist

If you have ever left the picture-perfect Oval on Ohio State’s campus and crossed North High Street, you are probably no stranger to the stark difference of surroundings — more specifically, Logan hickman the amount of hickman.201@osu.edu broken glass, smashed cups, food wrappers and endless other trash items littered through out the area.

As a proud resident of the off-campus community, I have had my fair share of run-ins with flat tires, shoes embedded with broken glass and sidewalks obstructed by empty cardboard beer cases.

When I first moved to the off-campus community nearly a year ago, I tried my best to be optimistic about these less-than-perfect surroundings. I told myself, “Excess litter and unkempt properties are just a consequence of living in an urban environment.”

After nearly a year of trying to ignore the litter, I came to the realization that the unnecessary amount of filth in the off-campus area is not a result of “living in an urban environment” because the students who inhabit the off-campus community know how to throw away their trash when on campus. The litter is a result of students’ disregard for their off-campus community.

I am well aware that it is socially acceptable for collegiate students to throw beer cans and

2B

red Solo cups on their front lawns in hopes that the less fortunate will collect the trash for profit after a night of partying. I am also aware that this norm is hurting others who share the off-campus community.

The Rev. Sydney Jackson of The Indianola Presbyterian Church, which is located in the heart of the off-campus community at the corner of Waldeck and Iuka avenues, said volunteers from his church work daily to clean up litter from students around church property.

Jackson said litter such as broken glass and empty beer cans are major problems in the church parking lot and near areas where children play.

“We have a preschool here, so it’s important to get, especially broken glass, off the sidewalks because the kids go out and play in the yard,” Jackson said. “I kind of wonder sometimes about people who throw things where little kids are going to be.”

Jackson also said church volunteers work to clean up tipped garbage cans and recycling bins in the neighborhood.

“It’s one of those things where we wish people were a little better at taking care of the neighborhood,” Jackson said. “It’s mystifying sometimes why anybody would tip over garbage bins regularly or the blue recycling bins. It’s just awful.”

Jackson said Ed Kinschner, a church member since 1963, takes it upon himself to pick up litter around the church almost every day.

“Ed picks up stuff everywhere. When you walk with him, by the time you get over to High Street, he’ll have two hands of stuff he’s picked up,” Jackson said. “He just does it — it’s who he is.”

Kinschner said his efforts to pick up litter are more than making the area look nice, they are about making sure the area is safe for children and drivers.

“Think about the children and the way that

we care for other people,” Kinschner said. “The church’s issue is being a good neighbor in our community. Being in a community is a two-way street. That’s what a neighborhood is all about­— trying to look out for each other.”

Kinschner said the main way the church’s neighbors can demonstrate that they care about the church children and the community is to not break bottles near the church property, where children play and cars drive.

“It’s a good effort and it makes a better place for us all to live,” Kinschner said.

Like Kinschner, I agree that the off-campus area would be a better place to live if community members, including students, made a larger effort to mitigate littering.

As a concerned resident of the off-campus community, I asked folks from The Office of Student Life and the OSU Community Ambassadors why litter is such an issue in the off-campus neighborhoods and what students can do through the university to better the area.

“The key to preventing litter is for people to be involved in their community, for people to take pride in their neighborhood — to know their neighbors so that when they see something, they know that it also impacts them,” Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said.

Students can start to build this sense of community through the Community Ambassadors, Isaacs said.

The Community Ambassadors are a group of students who individually represent an off-campus street, co-director of the Community Ambassadors, Hannah Mlnarik, said. They act as a bridge between the university and the off-campus community, helping students to become engaged in their neighborhoods as community members, through cookouts and other events.

This community engagement is the key to

keeping the off-campus neighborhoods clean, Mlnarik said, because it helps students living off-campus develop pride for where they live.

“Because people come and go so frequently in the university district, there often isn’t a sense of pride in the community — a personal responsibility — because people don’t live there for more than a year or so,” Mlnarik said.

OSU’s Undergraduate Student Government also offers opportunities for students to help maintain the off-campus area, including the initiative, “Clean Up Columbus.”

“Clean Up Columbus” is an initiative that partners with “Keep Columbus Beautiful,” a Columbus Department of Public Service program, and offers money to student organizations that clean sections of off-campus streets, USG President Taylor Stepp said.

Student organizations can sign up for this initiative, which pays $75 for the clean up of one side of an off-campus street on the first Sunday of every month, on the USG website, according to Michelle Bennett, department director for the USG student affairs cabinet committee.

Representatives from “Keep Columbus Beautiful” did not return a phone call requesting comment.

Students do not have to be involved in a campus initiative to help keep their off-campus community clean. Simply throw your trash and recyclables in their proper containers.

By doing so, you are not only helping to keep the off-campus area clean and safe, you are showing respect for people like Ed Kinschner, who work selflessly to ensure the best environment for children and other community members, including us students.

Vampire Weekend performed at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Sept. 23.

Review

Vampire Weekend rocks LC show Matthew Lovett Senior Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu Vampire Weekend is working — and doing a good job — on becoming one of the definitive bands of the millennial generation.

From its self-titled debut in 2008 to 2010’s “Contra” to the excellent 2013 release “Modern Vampires of the City,” this band has covered topics from schooling to romance to death in this sort of Ivy League, intellectualized demeanor. Even with those descriptors, this band lacks pretension; without parsing their words, the songs are nonetheless catchy and sound like everything while simultaneously sound like no other artist. In summation, Vampire Weekend rocks.

Such was proven further with the band’s show Monday night at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion. Although touring in support of its spring release, “Modern Vampires of the City,” the set list was varied with songs from all three of the band’s records (albeit most songs from “Contra” were absent). The winning tunes of the night were “Diane Young,” “A-Punk” and show-closer “Walcott,” which created pockets of all-out friendly brawls within the pit.

Their more subdued work carried over nicely with audience members as well. It was “Step,” and especially “Oxford Comma,” that garnered cheerful sing-a-longs and memories of high school (that is, for those no longer in high school in attendance).

Wednesday September 25, 2013

Vampire Weekend did not take many liberties with its performance, as I expect most live rock bands to do. There was one moment where main set closers “Giving Up the Gun” and “Obvious Bicycle” saw revved-up, deep vibrations of bass and flourishing percussive timbres. Sans that moment, the show was executed from record, but hardly to anyone’s dismay. The musicianship of the band was established with the live performance, namely frontman Ezra Koenig, who I learned plays guitar like a modern-day Dick Dale. It was apparent any excess jamming would have been extraneous for a band like Vampire Weekend.

The only issue with the evening’s show was the omission of Vampire Weekend’s first-ever single “Mansard Roof” from the set list. Considering its history with the band, it seemed fairly blatant to me that it was not played — still a minor inconvenience for an otherwise phenomenal show.

Vampire Weekend continually puts out material that’s instantly lovable, no matter how the music is consumed by the listener.

Monday night’s concert was filled to the brim — I heard it sold out by showtime — with literally concert-goers of all ages (I saw two women of my mother’s age enter the pit as well as several kids far from their teenage years) and they were all overflowing with exuberance for the band.

Timeless is a prestigious acclaim for an artist, but I think the LC show physically proved Vampire Weekend is just that.

Midterm blues got you feeling down? A motivational program combining music and humor might be the lift you need to get through it.

Messages designed to uplift will be delivered 7 p.m. Friday at the Ascension Lutheran Church by the duo known as SpiriTed as they tour the country hoping to inspire and entertain.

SpiriTed has traveled from coast to coast on a continuous tour for the past three years.

“We travel around the country trying to convince people we have more in common than differences,” said Janet Clazzy, 60, the female member of the team.

Her counterpart is Jonathan Cring, 62, musician, author and creator of SpiriTed. Cring plays piano, sings and shares stories with the audience.

“The stories are humorous. They will make you laugh and some might make you cry. But they will always make you think,” Clazzy said. “He comes up with (thoughts) you have never thought of before.”

Clazzy contributes by playing the oboe and the WX-5 wind machine, a horn-like device that can sound like a number of different instruments.

“I go through seven different instruments in a minute and a half,” Clazzy said At their performance Friday, Clazzy said they intend to focus on a seven-word theme: “No one is better than anyone else.”

“Jonathan makes the point that when we think we are better than someone else, we cannot connect with each other. But he delivers it with humor and in a personal kind of way, and it will be surrounded by gorgeous music,” Clazzy said.

This will be the third year the Ascension Church has hosted a SpiriTed event in Columbus, according to Pastor Tim Muller of Ascension Chruch.

“It is a wonderful and unique performance. Our audience has overflowed with praise about the event in the past,” he said.

Muller said he thinks the duo will appeal to students as well.

“We are all in need of some quirky inspiration. Jonathan tells jokes that are modern and the music has a pop sound to it as well. They present a fresh view of everyday life that appeals across age ranges.”

Pastor Jason Fairbanks of the First United Congregational Church of Christ in Lake Worth, Fla. hosted SpiriTed earlier in the year. He said though they often perform in churches, their messages are meant to inspire people of all lifestyles.

“There were people there with different levels of education and different spiritual beliefs, and everyone found something with which they could connect,” Fairbanks said in an email. “What Jonathan and Janet do is much more than a performance. They evoke many different emotions and allow the opportunity to view subjects of life and faith in a refreshing way.”

Clazzy said they are happy to travel and motivate all kinds of people in churches and schools across the country.

“We are enjoying our last little bit of youth trying to do something meaningful,” Clazzy said.

Ascension Church is located at 1479 Morse Road in Columbus. The event is free.
