Miller for Heisman?

Braxton Miller was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of week for his performance against California.

The 1,200 residents of the renovated Park-Stradley residence hall were still homeless Monday evening after a water main break forced evacuation, and university officials have no timeline for when they’ll be able to return. About 2,000 students from Baker East, Baker West and ParkStradley were evacuated Sunday evening, and the Ohio Union was shut down. The Union reopened and students from the Baker Halls were permitted to return to their residence halls at about 7 a.m. Monday, but Park-Stradley residents were not so lucky. While the evacuation was an inconvenience for many students, some said they were appreciative of the university support. “They were ridiculously conscientious,” said Brenna Gile, a Baker Hall West resident and a second-year in Japanese. “They had basketball courts and volleyball courts, and basically if you wanted to do anything RPAC-y, they had the RPAC open all night for use,” said Riley Debacker, a first-year in linguistics and theater. “They provided us with food and drink(s), they gave us blankets and pillows because some of us didn’t have them, they were extremely good about it,” Gile said. “We clearly look like refugees,” Gile said. “And we got directed to this hallway and we were home again, for a brief time at least, surrounded by comrades.”

Trade law and the 2012 presidential candidates’ respective records on outsourcing jobs to China took center stage across America Monday. President Barack Obama was in Columbus to defend his stance on these matters. During a campaign stop at Schiller Park in Columbus’ German Village neighborhood, Obama focused his remarks on his administration’s attempts to prevent the outsourcing of jobs to China. Obama also criticized Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s history of outsourcing jobs. The White House’s latest action against China is aimed at illegal subsidies that encourage companies to ship auto parts and manufacturing jobs overseas, Obama said. He defended his own record of standing up to unfair Chinese trade practices saying that two

months ago his administration moved to hold China accountable for unfair trade practices that harm American auto makers. “Where folks are breaking the rules, we go after them. We’re not going to let it stand,” Obama said. “American workers build better products than anybody. ‘Made in America’ mean(s) something, and when the playing field is level, we always win. So that’s a choice you’ve got in this election.” In criticizing Romney, Obama challenged his opponent to “walk the walk.” “Now, this is a guy (Romney) whose experience has been owning companies that were called pioneers of outsourcing jobs to countries like China,” Obama said. “Made money investing in companies shipping jobs to China. Ohio, you can’t stand up to China if all you’ve done is send them our jobs. You can talk a good game seven weeks before the election, but you can’t just talk the talk.” In a Monday statement prior to Obama’s stop

Faculty, students uneasy about mentoring program kayla byler Lantern reporter byler.18@osu.edu

A hose in the hallway of Park-Stradley removes water from the basement of the building. About 1,200 students were evacuated from the residence hall after a water main break.

Ohio State is one of the nation’s largest public universities. One program attempts to make students feel more like they attend a smaller school, but not everyone is sure how students will react to the idea. The Office of Student Life will be conducting a pilot project where some first-year students will be given the opportunity to live on campus for a second year and receive a $2,000 stipend in return. The pilot is part of a larger program that would be available to every second-year when OSU requires all second-year students to live on campus, said Molly Ranz Calhoun, associate vice president for Student Life. Students would use the stipend for study abroad, unpaid internships and research assistant positions.

Calhoun said each second-year student would get paired with a faculty mentor to help the student decide how to use the money and spend time within the students’ residence hall. Participating faculty would “come in the evenings, and they would hang out (with the students) and they’d go to dinner with them and help them be engaged,” Calhoun said. Each participating faculty member would have about a 1-20 ratio with the students, and Calhoun said the program would require the participation of 10 percent of the faculty. The stipend alone is expected to cost the university $4 million in cash reserves, but the Office of Student Life has not yet determined how the faculty will be compensated for their time. “We cannot just force this on faculty,” said Jeffory Hattey, assistant dean of First Year Experience and faculty development for the College of

Jokes about the water main break that displaced about 2,000 students living on South Campus were abundant Sunday night, but some people didn’t think they were all funny. The Ohio State Student Wellness Center is based in the RPAC, where between 150 and 200 evacuated students spent the night Sunday. Tweets from the center’s Twitter account @OSUwellness, documented the event with some advice to students. “Words of advice for RPAC sleepover attendees — 1) Wash your hands. 2) Wrap it. 3) Call us for HIV testing. 614-292-4527,” one tweet said. Monday evening, the tweet had been retweeted nearly 200 times. To clarify the tweet, 23 minutes later the account posted “And for the record — that popular tweet is simply a response to the trends we are seeing on Twitter! Be safe everyone!” The account’s next tweet, “Just because she sleeps next to you at the RPAC DOES NOT mean she wants the D. #consentfirst #besafe,” came nine minutes later and was also retweeted nearly 200 times by Monday evening. The Wellness Center’s tweets have received feedback, both good and bad, from people who thought they were funny and by some who said the tweets went too far. Taylor Stepp, Undergraduate Student Government president, called the tweets “not appropriate” and “ridiculous.” “They were walking a fine line,” Stepp said. However, Stepp said he is confident the message wasn’t meant to offend anyone, and that the person behind the messages was just trying to promote the center’s sexual health testing. The account undoubtedly gained attention. Monday morning, the account tweeted “Shoutout to all our new followers! Clearly the 448 coolest kids on campus. Can we get to 500 today?” The account had 494 followers at about 11 p.m. Monday. Katye Miller, program coordinator at the Student Wellness Center deferred requests for comment to Dave Isaacs, communications and media relations manager of Student Life. “The tweets were in response to social media messages coming from students who were in (the) RPAC, and intended to be similar in tone and spirit,” Isaacs said in an email. “We have received a number of responses, and most have been positive. However, any negative feedback is a good foundation for reviewing our social media efforts in the future.” Tweets directed at the Student Wellness Center Twitter account from a Lantern reporter requesting comment on the subject were deferred as well.

Many stranded students find refuge off campus, home todd avery Senior Lantern reporter avery.82@osu.edu Only about 200 of the 2,000 Ohio State students evacuated from their residence halls Sunday decided to stay the night in the RPAC. So where did the other 1,800 students find refuge? “I stayed at my friend’s, friend’s older brother’s apartment off campus,” said Kaylee Hoffner, a firstyear in biomedical engineering and a Park-Stradley resident. While that might seem extreme, these types of connections were called in to help stranded residents Sunday night. Julianne Newsome, a first-year Park-Stradley resident in public health, stayed at her friend’s brother’s house on the couch. Second-year in biology and Park-Stradley resident Clay Beckholt said he decided to just go home. “I called my mom to come pick me up and I went home,” Beckholt said. “I live about half an hour to 45 minutes away in Newark.” None of these students wanted to spend the night in the RPAC, and while Beckholt said he will continue to stay at home, Newsome and Hoffner found new places to stay until they can return to their dorms. Hoffner said she will be staying in another dorm with a girl she met Sunday. Newsome responded to an email from Javaune Adams-Gaston, the vice president for Student Life, which asked those who needed “assistance with overnight accommodations” to email OSU Housing.

She was given a spot in a four-person room in Neilwood Gables on North Campus, where she said she plans to stay until she can move back into ParkStradley Hall. “It’s just really inconvenient,” Newsome said. “I have midterms on Tuesday and Friday, a test on Thursday and it’s stressful finding time to figure out where you’re staying as well as your school work.” Hoffner echoed that sentiment as she said she has a calculus and psychology midterm this week. “Last night we didn’t have our stuff with us, so we couldn’t get anything done, and the hours that I would come here (Park-Stradley) and study during the day, we were at the (Ohio) Union just hanging out,” said Hoffner. “It is just disruptive.” Beckholt and Newsome said they did feel the university was trying to be accommodating, and Beckholt said the university is giving him a temporary parking pass to use since he is commuting from home. Hoffner also said students have shown patience and understanding. “I think it’s been more the students being really accommodating and understanding … it’s hard for the university to be able to do anything in this situation because there’s 1,200 of us,” Hoffner said. The students were given from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to retrieve some belongings, and in AdamsGaston’s email to the residents she recommended the students pack enough clothing and other items for at least two days. The Ohio Union and Baker Hall East and West were also closed Sunday night, but they reopened Monday at about 7 a.m., although the hot water in Baker Hall didn’t come back on until after 8 a.m.

Park-Stradley along with Baker halls were evacuated Sunday night after a water main break. Between 150 and 200 evacuated students stayed in the RPAC last night, while others found different arrangements. According to OSU spokesman Jim Lynch, OSU Police do “not have a criminal investigation report on this water line failure.” Park-Stradley was closed last year as part of a $171 million South Campus renovation project. The building had only been open for about a month before the water main break. All three of the Park-Stradley residents said they would manage for the next couple of days, but

Beckholt and Hoffner said the longer it takes, the more their patience will run thin. “It is fine for a couple of days, but if it’s longer, it disrupts studying and it disrupts our routines,” Hoffner said. About 2,000 students were evacuated Sunday night and 1,200 Park-Stradley residents still have no timetable of when they might be able to return. “Eventually it’s not going to be fine,” Hoffner said.

OSU ‘probably the most relevant university’ in election kayla byler Lantern reporter byler.18@osu.edu Ohio State is “probably the most relevant university in this campaign.” At least according to James Carville, a political consultant and commentator and prominent figure in the Democratic Party. He called Ohio “the most influential state” in the election. Accenting the importance of the Buckeye State, the Ohio Union Activities Board is scheduled to host a debate Tuesday between former presidential aides Carville and Karl Rove, who served under former President Bill Clinton and former President George W. Bush, respectively. According to the New York Times political blog, “FiveThirtyEight,” Ohio has the highest “relative likelihood that an individual voter would determine the Electoral College winner.” The blog also ranked Ohio as No. 1 in “the probability that a state provides the decisive electoral vote.” “FiveThirtyEight,” Carville said, is one of the most trusted and widely read political blogs. Carville said it is possible for a candidate to win the presidential election without winning Ohio, but it is unlikely. He said it is “more possible” for President Barack Obama to win the election without winning Ohio than it would be for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Carville noted the prevalence of campaign advertisements in the state. “I’m afraid to turn on my television when I’m in Columbus,” Carville said. Carville said the Obama and Romney campaigns must “be very sophisticated in what they do,” in terms of the way they campaign in Ohio because of the state’s importance in the election. “I think that people receive their information in different ways,” he said. “Communication has changed pretty radically over the years.” This affects the way candidates campaign. The Internet and social media should be a focus of the campaigns’ targeting students because student voters do not “read the newspaper and very few of them watch the nightly news,” Carville said. And Carville sees the Obama campaign targeting students much more than the Romney campaign. The Obama campaign has a website specifically for young Americans and students, as well as a Facebook, Twitter and Obama for America mobile application.

James Carville and Karl Rove are scheduled to debate on campus Tuesday evening. Romney has a Twitter and the Romney store has a Facebook application. “I think that by and large, college voters have frequently and overwhelmingly sided with Democrats,” Carville said, and this election is no exception. Carville said he believes college-aged voters find fault with Romney’s policies on many issues. He said student loans, taxes and global warming, specifically will be key issues to young people in this election. Obama spoke extensively about student loans at Capital University on Aug. 21. He spoke of his own experience paying student loans and the importance of making college more affordable. According to his website, Obama has doubled funding for Pell Grants, paying for this by “eliminating the middlemen from the collegeloan program, taking away billions of taxpayer dollars that were going to the banks instead of students.” The federal financial aid system is “unnecessarily complex,” according to “A Chance for Every Child: Mitt Romney’s Plan for Restoring the Promise of American Education.” The plan says the Romney administration will “eliminate (federal)

programs that are duplicative, inefficient or ineffective,” and “embrace a private-sector role” in student loans. It comes as no surprise that Obama and Romney have differing opinions about taxes, given the long-standing debate between Democrats and Republicans with this issue. If elected, Romney says he will make a 20 percent cut in marginal rates, maintain current rates on interest, dividends and capital gains and cut the corporate rate to 25 percent from 35 percent, according to his website. “Lowering taxes on small business will help create jobs,” said Niraj Antani, communications director for the OSU College Republicans. “Romney believes that the middle class and lower income Americans, and even higher income Americans should be able to keep the income they earn.” Drew Stroemple, president of OSU College Republicans agreed. “Romney is making (taxes) simple,” he said. “Republicans believe that every American should get to pay lower taxes.” According to his website, Obama “supports reform that cuts corporate tax rates, closes loopholes and rewards investment in America.” Romney and Obama also have conflicting policies on global warming. Obama called climate change “one of the biggest issues of this generation,” as part of an online debate on ScienceDebate.org. Romney said, “we must support continued debate and investigation within the scientific community.” In an earlier speech at the Republican National Convention, Romney dismissed global warming. “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family,” he said. “Romney understands that we need to use our natural resources to our advantage,” Antani said. “Obama wants to put the coal business out of business,” Antani said this is a problem for many Ohio State students. “The coal industry is essentially paying their tuition,” he said, because coal production is essential to the mid-west economy. Obama has “set a 10-year goal to develop and deploy costeffective clean coal technology,” according to his website, and has “implemented numerous initiatives to improve miner health and safety. Carville said the Romney campaign has become desperate after the Democratic National Convention, and as the election gets closer, “Romney is going to get increasingly aggressive in everything.” The OUAB debate is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Students living in Park-Stradley could retrieve personal items from their rooms from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday, but the dorm remained closed. “I was going to sleep in the RPAC, but the accommodations weren’t too great, sleeping on the floor,” said Ronnie Fox, a first-year in biology who lives in Park-Stradley. Fox stayed the night on a sofa in a friend’s apartment. “Hopefully he can let me stay over there again. I live two hours away, so I don’t really have any other options.” Park-Stradley residents in need of housing can sign up at the Park-Stradley front desk. “To date, 40 students have requested alternative housing accommodations,” Lynch said in a Monday email. Isaacs said anyone who has made a housing request through the Office of Student Life will be accommodated. “Everybody’s being taken care of,” he said. Isaacs said students will be placed in “various university residence locations … based on availability.” However, on Aug. 20, The Lantern reported that university residence hall slots were filled and some freshman had to find their own places to live off campus. Kandis Sargeant, a first-year in health sciences and Park-Stradley resident, spent the night on the floor of a friend’s dorm room in Morrison Tower. “It was fine for a night. Not ideal during midterms week,” Sargeant said. “They said it’s at least two days that we’re out. At least.” Alutto urged faculty to be understanding toward students affected by the water main break displacement. “In light of this emergency, please show flexibility in assignments as students affected seek to access notes, books, etc., and otherwise adjust to this disruption,” he said in an email. Alutto said he will update faculty as more information is available.

Repairs from 1A Gile said with board games and a jovial atmosphere, the RPAC made the best of a bad situation. Dave Isaacs, communications and media relations manager of Student Life, said “we simply have no idea at this point” when students will be able to return to their dorms. “The electrical system got wet (in Park-Stradley), it was submerged in water,” Isaacs said. According to OSU spokesman Jim Lynch, OSU Police do “not have a criminal investigation report on this water line failure.” Park-Stradley opened Fall Semester after being closed as part of a $171 million South Campus renovation project. The building has been occupied for about a month. “The building’s brand new. It’s really sad that that happened,” OSU President E. Gordon Gee told The Lantern. “The kids were great.” Lynch said between 150 and 200 students slept at the RPAC Sunday night. The remainder of the 2,000 evacuees went to stay with friends or family. Kevin Scott, a first-year in film studies and Baker Hall West resident, spent the night in The Lounge in the RPAC basement, draped across two armchairs under a security light. “They took care of us, they obviously knew what they were doing, but I would rather have my bed,” Scott said. “Sleeping under a light is not fun.” Although Baker Hall residents could return to their dorms Monday morning, hot water was not restored until 8:10 a.m., according to the Office of Administration and Planning emergency management website. Joseph Alutto, OSU executive vice president and provost, said in a email to faculty sent Monday morning that the 1,200 students living in Park-Stradley were allowed back into the building Monday until 7 p.m. to retrieve personal items. The email said students were urged to bring enough clothes for at least two days.

… That bargain can be stated very simply: It says, if you work hard, you can make it,” Obama said. “We don’t believe that the answer to our challenges is just to tell folks you’re on your own … We don’t believe this economy grows from the top down. We think it grows from the middle out, from the bottom up.” Obama also threw out a reference to an Ohio State University Marching Band tradition in explaining how Romney’s plan for America wouldn’t work. “You cannot make (Romney’s plan) work,” he said. “You cannot cross the ‘T’s’ and dot the ‘I’s’ with this plan and Columbus is a town where you’ve got to dot the ‘I.’” Tia Maugher, 19, of Columbus, was a volunteer at Obama’s Schiller Park rally and said she has her own opinions about the issues Obama discussed, adding that her community will be ready to support the sitting U.S. president 50 days from Monday. “It seems like a lot of Democratic people I know are excited and ready for Nov. 6,” Maugher said.

Obama from 1A in Columbus, Romney said Obama has spent 43 months failing to confront China’s unfair trade practices. “Campaign-season trade cases may sound good on the stump, but it’s too little too late for American businesses and middle-class families,” Romney said in the statement. “President Obama’s credibility on this issue has long since vanished. I will not wait until the last months of my presidency to stand up to China, or do so only when votes are at stake.” During Obama’s stop in Columbus, which 4,500 people attended, according to an Obama campaign release, he also laid out his economic plan for the country and compared it to the plan his Republican opposition has for America. “This is a choice for two different visions for how we move the country forward … Our vision is to restore the basic bargain that built this country

Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. “This has to come from the faculty’s desire to see students grow.” But not everyone is sure on the details of the project. Tim Valentine, Arts and Sciences Scholars Program manager, said students’ initial fear stems from “thinking that there is a chance that you walk out in your bathrobe and there is your physics professor.” Some students, such as Jack Jones, a first-year in engineering, said they think it would be awkward to have their professor or a faculty member coming into their residence halls. “Me and my friends might say or do things they (faculty) wouldn’t want to see or hear,” he said. Valentine said he didn’t think all faculty would be interested in the program. “I don’t know if the top researching chemistry professor being involved in residence life is really where we should go,” Valentine said. “When you have a 600 member chemistry lab and that teacher doesn’t know their 600 students at all, going into any building that person is going to be like, ‘You’re in my class? Great.’” While faculty mentors are often an integral part of many small, liberal arts colleges, Valentine said OSU students do not want that. “In terms of engaging faculty with residence life, there is definitely value there, but I do not think that it is necessarily on a mentor level like with a smaller school,” Valentine said. It would be a “cultural shift” for students and faculty at OSU, Valentine said, that would require additional program space to make students feel comfortable. “Park-Stradley Hall has a new sky lounge, and

if you were interacting at an evening event with a faculty member in that space, you probably would not feel awkward,” he said. Hattey said he is interested in expanding programming for second-year students. “The earlier we can connect students with faculty, the more likely those students are going to succeed,” Hattey said. He added that the mentorship program aims to connect the right faculty with the right students. Hattey said he believes faculty involvement is crucial to graduation retention rates as well as a student’s career building. “Our faculty have the experience, because of their professional background, to provide that expertise,” he said. They can “connect students with experts in the field.” The mentor program would also be about connecting students’ interests with those of the faculty, Hattey said. It would provide students an opportunity to become engaged in the work they are passionate about and connect with faculty with similar interests. “When students are passionate about something it doesn’t become work. It is something that they enjoy,” Hattey said. “It becomes part of who they are and they are more likely to develop long-term success and establish some very positive and constructive career building habits.” Hattey and Valentine said departmental recognition would be key in getting faculty involved. “The primary recognition of the faculty is that if they invest their time in this, their department will recognize that they’re doing something valuable, and it supports the goal and the mission of the department,” Hattey said.

Women’s fashion column

I’ve had enough of music reality shows like “American Idol” and “The X Factor” and their new judges. The shows continue to cycle through new judges hoping CoDy CoUSiNo to entice new cousino.20@osu.edu viewers, thinking personalities are enough to keep people captivated. But it’s still the same tired act year after year — especially for “American Idol,” which begins its 12th season in January. There are weirdos that still come on and are awful to listen to, which somehow people like. Then there are the inspirational stories of the person who is still singing despite adversity (but doesn’t make it past the second or third round). It’s boring, predictable and old. And new judges are not the answer. Mariah Carey and Keith Urban, new “American Idol” judges, are musically irrelevant. I know they have both had hits, but has there really been anything recent from them that established them as people who can judge others’ talent? I would have to Google them just to look up a name of one of their hits. Perhaps Carey was just tired of her husband Nick Cannon somehow being more popular than her. Demi Lovato. I don’t think I even have to say anything about this new judge on “The X Factor,” so I won’t. The real problem is, however, that “American Idol’s” Nicki Minaj and “The X Factor’s” Britney Spears are train wrecks of people. Minaj, who was a pretty decent rapper, has seemed to reproduce the same-sounding song for the last year, yelling in her angry woman voice about as often as Pitbull says “dale.” Which, for those who don’t know, is way too often. I wouldn’t want her judging my talents if I were on the show. Let’s put it this way, when Minaj

Where is the credibility in having Spears as a judge? Based on her wacky past, I’m having a hard time finding it. Is she supposed to inspire the contestants to sleep with and then marry a Federline-type? One of Spears’ marriages lasted only 55 hours. That’s 1,673 hours shorter than the current standard of short-lived weddings set by Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. What great role models these shows have picked out. It seems like “American Idol” has realized the only time it gets attention is when there ARE train wrecks, and it’s certainly running with it.

With the idiots Simon Cowell would rip apart, Paula Abdul appearing as high as a kite or being rumored to have affairs with contestants and William Hung being so bad that people listen to him, “American Idol” is desperate for controversy — so much so that last season it pushed Steven Tyler to be meaner, according to a July issue of Rolling Stone. None of those tactics worked, with all three of those judges having moved on and William Hung having faded back into obscurity. It seemed like Cowell got smart and left because of the “Idol” antics, but bringing Spears aboard his new show just puts “The X Factor” right back in the same company as “American Idol.” With shows such as “The Voice” doing things completely different in a good way, it’s obvious feeding the ﬂames of ridiculousness is not the answer. These shows need to re-evaluate from the ground up where they want to go because right now it looks like they only want to go down in a ball of ﬂaming trashiness.

Socks on socks on socks: Don’t triple layer in the cold, opt for quality CHRiSToPHeR BRaUN Design editor braun.200@osu.edu

With the weather getting brisker by the hour, the days of going sockless are coming to a close. Before you know it, you’ll be stuffing your triple-socked feet into your winter boots, so enjoy the earth between your toes while you still can. The most important thing about socks is their function. It’s great to ﬂash some color below the hem of your pants, but it’s hardly worth the effort if your thin, trendy socks leave you shaking in your boots. After all, socks exist for comfort. They’re on your feet to keep your toes warm and chafe-free, but this still doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice personal style to avoid frostbite. Many outfitters are beginning to carry thick wool socks that won’t leave you looking like your grandmother when you’re walking around campus. Brands such as J. Crew, SmartWool and Timberland sell wool socks that will leave you looking more like a lumberjack than an old lady. Look for your wool socks in shades of gray, brown or black. These socks are more about keeping your feet warm than catching attention,

Try contrasting your socks with your outﬁt every once in a while and don’t be afraid to go bold. so keep it subtle so you don’t have to worry about matching when you’re marching out into the cold. Good, warm socks don’t come cheap. I’m not saying you’re going to have to drop 40 bucks on a single pair, but if you’re really looking for warmth, you’ll want to look at least in the $12 to $16 price range. A great place to find warm, outdoor socks for cheap is Sierra Trading Post’s website. In addition

to an almost endless variety of socks, Sierra Trading Post offers clearance outdoor and hiking apparel and accessories that will keep you comfortable through every sudden change in Ohio’s finicky weather. If you’re not planning on trekking through the cold or sitting in one of the many overly air-conditioned buildings on campus, then go with a thinner sock that won’t set your wallet back more than a few dollars when you’re dressing casual. Gap sells socks in a variety of colors and patterns as cheap as about $5 a pair, and even cheaper if you visit the clearance section. As for style, don’t feel like you have to stay with a traditional, solid color. Try out an argyle or striped pair, and don’t be afraid to go bold. Odds are, no one’s going to see your socks unless you’re sitting or you want them to, so make them stand out when you get the chance. Even when you’re dressing for business, you don’t have to match your socks with your shoes or pants. Try mixing it up every once in a while and match to your shirt, tie or even nothing at all. Try out dressing monochromatically and throwing in a bright pair of socks for your only color. Another important note, save the Nike high-top basketball socks for the court. Really, “Just Do It.”

Kamelot armed with heavy metal for Columbus show Hailey Kim Lantern reporter kim.3712@osu.edu Heavy metal bands might be stereotyped as groups of black-clothed, howling band members donning piercings and tattoos, with the sound of electronic guitars blaring in the background. But Kamelot, an American metal band, has a different image. Kamelot, which was founded by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner in 1992, has a goal of being original. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to share that originality with Columbus. The band is scheduled to perform with Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish 7 p.m. Friday at Newport Music Hall. Youngblood, guitarist for the

band, said Kamelot built its â&#x20AC;&#x153;own identityâ&#x20AC;? by mixing gothic metal and classical music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe diversity is the most important thing for records,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, classical music and metal is the most natural combination, and the way that we blend them, it works.â&#x20AC;? He said that blend can be found on Kamelotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silverthorn,â&#x20AC;? which is scheduled for release Oct. 30 in North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Silverthornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) is a story about a beautiful young daughter who is dying in the arms of her two twin brothers, taking their secrets, despair and betrayals to her grave,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. He said the band wants listeners to unveil the brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secrets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to gather dots

Kamelot is scheduled to perform Sept. 21 at Newport Music Hall. together, and sort of figure it out by themselves,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. He also said Kamelotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics only tell part of the story. The performances tell the rest.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything on stage is really important,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After watching our performance, which is based on what we built on the record, hopefully the

audience canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to come back.â&#x20AC;? Kamelotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows draw in an assorted crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of different fans. In the crowd you can see 14-year-old girls to 50-yearold guys,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a mixture of different genres, and a mixture of various show elements, so we have a mixture of different people.â&#x20AC;? Even though Kamelot has a wide spectrum of fans, some of whom the band has played for in Europe and Japan, Youngblood said fans seem to react similarly to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The core fans are pretty similar, I think. Everybody gets into it, their hands in the air, and become part of our show,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generally, fans are pretty similar all over the world.â&#x20AC;? Youngblood also said the band

is looking forward to seeing how Columbus fans will react to its show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard tickets sold like crazy, so we are excited to see everybody out there,â&#x20AC;? Youngblood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a big party.â&#x20AC;? Some Ohio State students are enticed by the band. Sarah Morgan, a graduate student in social work, said even though heavy metal sounds tough, it is a bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own way to talk to people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they (heavy metal musicians) are getting a bad stigma. They are not all angry people,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of Kamelot, but combining violent sounds with beautiful classical melody sounds interesting.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for Kamelotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday show with Nightwish are $30 for general admission or $27.50 for in advance, available through Ticketmaster.

Local alternative rock band Highwire Kicks hanging on a memory, prepping for stage hong fan Lantern reporter fan.178@osu.edu One local band drew inspiration for its name from an old habit, attempting to capture the feeling of a memory with two simple words: Highwire Kicks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our shoes are old, we (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) throw them away, but we hang them on the high wire, as a kind of symbol of moving forward,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Vokhgelt, vocalist and bassist for the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Highwire Kicks is more of a symbol of letting (the shoes) go, like a good memory. You can walk by and be reminded of the old shoes but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never have them back.â&#x20AC;? The alternative rock band is scheduled to perform 7 p.m. Wednesday at Kobo. Composed of Ohioans Vokhgelt, Nate Ward on guitar and Josh Jackson on drums, Highwire Kicks was born early this year. The trio met in high school.

Vokhgelt is a second-year at Ohio State in civil engineering. Ward is in his second-year at Columbus State Community College and Jackson formerly went to Columbus State. Although Vokhgelt identified the band as alternative rock, he said it tries to intermix music genres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sound is really raw because we only use distortion, fade and clean settings on the guitar,â&#x20AC;? Vokhgelt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy adding different genres of music together to see how it sounds and try to cover a wide sound of music with our songs.â&#x20AC;? Despite it being a newer band, Highwire Kicks has already developed a following from some OSU students, such as Yong Liang, a third-year in logistics management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I (listened to) their music online and really enjoy that,â&#x20AC;? Liang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel a real punch and thrust in it.â&#x20AC;? Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is organized by Collateral Live, a Columbus-based independent entertainment company.

Chase Clymer, owner of Collateral Live, said the company books local, regional and national acts, because all are important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every national act was a local band at some point,â&#x20AC;? Clymer said. Highwire Kicks is slated to perform with bands Undesirable People, Late in the Playoffs, Pal-Treaux, Always Ten Feet Tall and Later Dudes on Wednesday. For Highwire Kicks, it is the first time playing with any of those bands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we do not really know them yet, we hope we will put on an awesome show,â&#x20AC;? Vokhgelt said. In addition to its songs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lonely Roadâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Codename Dreamgirl,â&#x20AC;? which were released online, Highwire Kicks has an EP in the works that is slated for release toward the new year and Vokhgelt said it will perform songs from that at its show. Kobo is located on 2590 N. High St. Tickets to the show are $5 at the door.

OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller runs the ball against Central Florida in a Sept. 8 game at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 31-16.

Ohio State football’s sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller was named Big Ten offensive player of the week on Monday, and also received praise from OSU coach Urban Meyer about his play through the first three weeks of the season. While the Buckeyes’ first-year coach has been among the many praising Miller, he is not yet ready to advertise his quarterback as a contender to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy. “I will not say he’s not (a candidate to win the Heisman),” Meyer said. “I don’t believe he is now. He’s not playing well enough yet.” Meyer, though, was full of praise regarding Miller. “I have a lot of confidence in Braxton,” Meyer said. “He’s our best player right now on offense.” Miller led the Buckeyes to a 35-28 victory over California on Saturday, completing 16-of-30 passes for 249 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 75 yards and another score. Miller’s plays in that game included a 55-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and a game-winning, 72-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Devin Smith with 3:26 left to play in the game. Miller’s recognition announced Monday marks the first time that the sophomore has earned an offensive player of the week award, but he was last year’s Big Ten Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year. Miller has led the Buckeyes to victories in each of the team’s first three games, and has accounted for 988 yards of total offense, which ranks ninth in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision. With 377 rushing yards, he ranks fifth nationally among all players in rushing yardage, and first among all quarterbacks. OSU offensive coordinator Tom Herman said opposing defenses have been making adjustments to account for Miller’s ability to run the ball. “I’ve seen defenses in the last three weeks that I’ve never even dreamt of in my mind to try to

stop the QB from running the football,” Herman said. “Teams now are trying to get eight, nine guys in the box to be sound against him pulling the ball and running, so the variety of coverage that we see on first- and second-down is absolutely mind-boggling.” For the overall year, Miller has completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 611 yards, with seven touchdown throws and two interceptions. Herman said he has been pleased with his quarterback’s development this season. “In terms of progress, I think he’s seeing the field better, I think he communicates with me on the sideline better than maybe I had expected,” Herman said. “He’s come a long ways.” While Herman described Miller’s mental progress as a quarterback, he said there has “never been an issue with (Miller’s) upper-body mechanics.” “The ball comes out very smoothly, he’s got a quick release, he’s got a strong arm,” Herman said of Miller. Lower-body mechanics, however, remain a concern for Herman. Herman said that to improve in that area, it comes down to “tying that into his feet and making sure that his hips and his feet are aligned properly to the throw, on time, when that throw needs to be made.” OSU coaches and Big Ten voters are not the only ones praising Miller after his strong start through three games this season. Following their loss on Saturday, California’s coach and players also gave credit to Miller’s play. “Braxton is a hard guy to contain because he is so big and physical,” said California coach Jeff Tedford. “For most of the day he made great decisions and threw some great passes. When he threw that long ball down the left side of the field, it was a perfect pass. He is fast, accurate and a great athlete.” California senior cornerback Marc Anthony felt similarly. “Braxton is one of the best in the game and he came through for his team,” Anthony said. “All of our eyes were on Braxton. We wanted other players to make something happen for them.”

OSU men’s golf coach Donnie Darr and sophomore golfer Boo Timko convene during the 3rd round of the NCAA Ann Arbor regional tournament on May 19. OSU finished the tournament 12th out of 14 teams.

Behind the effort of freshman Tee-K Kelly, the Ohio State men’s golf team placed third out of 14 teams at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate on Sunday in Zionsville, Ind. Kelly placed fourth individually at the tournament with a season-low score of 68 for the first round, 72 for the second round and 70 for the final round. Kelly improved from the Marshall Invitational last week, where he tied for 23rd place with two other Buckeyes, and he credits his short game for his success. “Definitely my short game helped me, I have been working pretty hard on it lately and it paid off,” Kelly said. “I had some pretty good shots that saved me from making some pretty big numbers.” Sophomore Boo Timko finished after Kelly in fifth place with a score of 69 for the first round, a career-low 66 for the second round and 76 for the final round. Timko said he could have finished better but is still pleased with his finish. “I played really clean the first day, but the last day I let it get away from me,” Timko said. “I would have liked to finish better than I did, but overall I am happy with it.” Last week’s team leader and 2012 Big Ten Freshman of the Year sophomore Grant Weaver fell behind, tying for 17th place with a final score of 219, adding on 10 strokes from last week. Freshman Michael Bernard tied for 36th place with a final score of 225 and senior Matt Turner tied for 59th place with a final score of 230. Buckeyes coach Donnie Darr said he was happy with the results but hoped the Buckeyes could have placed higher than third. “I don’t think you are ever happy to finish third but overall I am really pleased with how we played,” Darr said. “I thought we did a lot of really good things that first day, but we didn’t quite handle being in position to win as well as I hoped in the final round, but we were playing two freshmen and two sophomores who haven’t really been out there much.” The Buckeyes will get another chance to place higher when the team travels to Glencoe, Ill., for the Windon Memorial, Sept. 23-24.

Defensive schemes differ from film for OSU GRANT GANNON Lantern reporter gannon.78@osu.edu Ohio State’s football’s coaches might spend days working on a game plan for the Buckeyes’ games on Saturdays, but offensive coaches have found that planning for the first three games of this season seems ineffective at times. The opponents’ defensive schemes, some coaches say, have been entirely different from anything they’ve seen on film. Rather, the opposition’s strategy has been geared toward stopping the running ability of sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller. “I’ve seen defenses in the last three weeks that I never dreamt of in my mind to try and stop the QB from trying to run the football,” said offensive coordinator Tom Herman. “It’s an interesting quandary to be in when you have such a dynamic runner back there, that defensive coverages tend to be completely skewed opposed to what you grew up knowing.” This specialized preparation by OSU’s opponents has shown in games. So far this season, the Buckeyes have scored a total 122

“All three defenses we’ve faced have been (unique) — we didn’t practice what they played because we didn’t know. So that tells you what they’ve been doing all offseason working on this one game. Urban Meyer OSU football coach

points and only 20 have come in the first quarter. That is eight points or more below in comparison to any other quarter. Coach Urban Meyer shared Herman’s sentiment. “All three defenses we’ve faced have been (unique)— we didn’t practice what they played because we didn’t know. So that tells you what they’ve been doing all offseason working on this one game,” Meyer said. Sophomore tight end Jeff Heuerman is aware of the differences in schemes by opponents’ defenses, but said he realizes it is something to be expected.

”Not every team is going to do exactly what they say they are going to do,” Heuerman said. “They ran a different defense and a few other teams ran some stuff that we haven’t seen yet. That’s all a part of being Ohio State, you gotta come up with some unique to beat you.” The Buckeyes’ next opponent, University of Alabama at Birmingham, might present a similar problem, but Meyer said he does not expect to see such bizarre styles of defense once they enter Big Ten play in two weeks on the road against Michigan State on Sept. 29. “It’s harder as the season progresses for a team to do that, because they can’t just say, ‘We’re working on Ohio State,’ because they have some previous games. So after this game, we’ll see usually what we see, and that is what teams play, because you can’t change defenses in the middle of the year normally,” Meyer said. OSU is scheduled to play UAB in Ohio Stadium at noon Saturday.

sports Sports writers: The sports beat itself is not the beat Standing PAT Sports editor

To say that I am lucky to be the sports editor of Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily student newspaper is a gross understatement. In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m spoiled rotten. I get a front-row seat to some of the best sporting events in the country so that I may observe, chronicle and comment on them. My objective in this privileged position, as I understand it, is to help keep an unbiased history, and occasionally impart personal opinion, on the sporting happenings taking place during the relatively PAT BRENNAN small window of time that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll brennan.164@osu.edu be on this campus. And so, in an ideal world, I should think professional sportswriters of America have these same aims, to inform the citizenry of their publication services. At various times, and particularly in recent weeks, though, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve observed sports scribes taking pot shots at each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, bickering about issues that only affect sports writers, and really just serving ourselves and not our respective audiences. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost our way as sportswriters. Heck, I almost lost my own way yesterday. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example: Orlando Sentinel sports columnist Mike Bianchi, prior to coming to Ohio Stadium to cover Central Florida footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturday game against OSU, accused members of the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; football media troupe of â&#x20AC;&#x153;printing liesâ&#x20AC;? and generally supporting a perceived agenda of first-year coach Urban Meyer with â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluffyâ&#x20AC;? stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, these charges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from some paranoid politician or neurotic football coach; they come from another member of media: Me,â&#x20AC;? Bianchi wrote in a Sept. 7 column. Bianchi was firing back at a commentary from the Columbus-based website, theozone.net, which faulted him for sparring with Meyer during a Big Ten teleconference. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to debate the coverage of an event or issue, Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another example: OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twitter-gateâ&#x20AC;? scandal. Like outlets and writer-personalities all over America, The Lantern reported on OSU athletics spokesman Jerry Emigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to media to delay tweeting content from Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conferences until the event was over. In an email to The Lantern, Emig said the policy was intended as a courtesy to both reporters and football personnel. It was not until after the press conference, Emig said, that he was told Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conference was being broadcast live by Columbus radio station WBNS 97.1 FM and streamed on the athletic departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I simply asked those in attendance to not tweet while an interview was taking place,â&#x20AC;? Emig told The Lantern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I was reminded of (the live broadcast) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after the press conference â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I realized that courtesy or no courtesy, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask people to delay tweeting. So even though many in attendance were supportive, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask to delay tweeting any longer.â&#x20AC;? The Lantern was the first to learn that this request was being lifted, and

ANDREW HOLLERAN / Photo editor

OSU junior wide receiver Corey Brown fields questions from the media during the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weekly media availability Sept. 3 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. after I tweeted the news out to the world from our sports Twitter account, the news was re-tweeted by members of the media. Fan interest in that particular matter, though? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was a morsel of it. Again, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about our audiences â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a market for new and social media that would take great interest in that story, but a Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season ticket holder? Doubtful, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reckless to assume the audience will gobble up any given sportswriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grant you this, there was concern that our free-speech rights were being infringed upon, and that had broader appeal because of the inherent legal issues that could accompany a situation like that. But does the average OSU football fan care if it takes an extra half-hour to hear about Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment of his players? I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just happy to consume Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brutally direct evaluation of the program, even if it arrives a bit late. Finally, we arrive at the example I almost presented to the world via Twitter yesterday. I got all hot and bothered by the fact that Meyer, speaking at his weekly press conference Monday, said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of a Sunday water main explosion that caused 2,000 OSU students to be uprooted from their dormitories and displaced. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to delve too deeply into my feelings about Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of knowledge about the water main explosion, but you could say I was bothered by it. So I took to Twitter and saw that some were making light of the fact that Meyer was even asked a question about the water main explosion, a question I assigned a Lantern reporter to ask. Well, I had really had it at that point. I fired off tweets that hinted at my feelings about 1.) the validity of the question and 2.) how I felt about Meyer having no knowledge of this major incident on campus. Then a couple people disagreed with me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was really, truly ready spout off.

But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spout off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I had to stop. The simple fact is that some bloggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of a question asked at a press conference doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter, nor does my criticism of he or she matter. Think about it: as OSU football beat writers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covering the team, not the beat itself. In that moment, as in the aforementioned cases, the beat itself became the beat and that is simply a pigheaded practice. I imagine that sports writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; respective audiences care about our finished products â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accuracy in reporting, good writing and informative content. Do we really think they care more about our own petty, online squabbles? No, of course they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Does anyone care to hear me critique the sports-writing practices of UWeekly? Do you care to read about what UWeekly thinks about me? I think (and hope) youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to consume quality coverage of the teams you care about. Period. As a student journalist, my head is buried in journalism texts on a daily basis. Maybe that constant exposure to the fundamentals of journalism, and the fundamentals of sports writing, make it too easy to for me to call for all sportswriters to share my idealistic vision for this profession. Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m naĂŻve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometime in the future I might get so hot about someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column or story or a concern about my access to the teams I cover that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll force my frustration right down the throat of my audience. I started to on Monday before, mercifully, I stopped myself. If I ever get that close again, someone come tap me on the shoulder and tell me to get lost. Clearly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll no longer be serving anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in my own at that point. The beat itself is not the beat. The sportswriters of America themselves are not the story. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me, my colleagues at The Lantern or any other outlet forget it.
