The Ohio Union was evacuated Tuesday evening following a report of an unattended backpack found outside the building. An on-scene Ohio State University police officer said the backpack was purposefully detonated. Detonating suspicious packages is protocol, and does not necessarily mean it contained an explosive device. The unattended package contained no explosives, according to a notice from OSU Media Relations received by The Lantern Tuesday evening. No public safety notice was sent to students during the evacuation or immediately after. Parts of High Street were temporarily shut down from 12th Avenue to 15th Avenue and College Road was closed from 12th Avenue to Hagerty Drive, according to University Police. Vehicle traffic was diverted to side streets because of the High Street closure. The building was evacuated at about 6:00 p.m. “Police were just saying, ‘Hey, get out of the building’, and they kept saying to move further away,” said Clare FitzGerald, a third-year in human nutrition and employee evacuated from Woody’s Tavern in the Ohio Union.

People were evacuated from the ohio union April 16 after an unattended package was found. Many of the people who were evacuated from the Ohio Union gathered under awnings of High Street businesses near 13th Avenue until they were allowed back into the building just after 7:30 p.m. Some students, such as Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp, were concerned students did not receive a public safety notice about the suspicious package. Stepp, a third-year in public affairs, said he

heard about the situation from his mom and turned to Twitter for information. Without information coming from the university, he said he “pieced most of it together from information on Twitter.” “I expected to be getting a safety notice, but we never got one. So I was very perplexed on that,” Stepp said.

More than seven months after being hit by a bicyclist near Chumley’s on High Street, Ohio State student Yifan Gu remains in “fair condition” at the Wexner Medical Center. Yifan Gu’s mother, Yinmei Gu, said at first she didn’t believe the initial phone call informing her of the accident on Sept. 6. “They said she’s dying,” she said through an interpreter. “I was shocked, I could laugh, I could cry, holding the phone, waiting for it to ring.” Yinmei Gu said four days after the accident, the hospital called again, saying there were signs of recovery and asking for consent to perform surgery on Yifan Gu’s brain. Yinmei Gu said she gave the consent in hopes that the surgery would help her daughter recover. Two days later, she arrived in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at the Wexner Medical Center to meet her daughter, who was in a vegetative state. “She couldn’t hear anything, her eyes were closed. She had tubes all over her body,” Yinmei Gu said. “Her face was covered by the bandages. It was swollen. It didn’t look like my daughter at all. “The doctor said she’s not getting better and that she may even remain in this state forever.”

Yifan Gu was hit by a bicyclist near chumley’s on high street on sept. 6. she remains in ‘fair condition’ at the Wexner medical center. Yifan Gu underwent surgery again on Dec. 19. Yinmei Gu said she believes the second surgery is the reason why Yifan Gu’s condition worsened. Representatives from the Medical Center declined to comment, but OSU spokeswoman Gayle Saunders said thoughts and prayers continue to be with Yifan Gu and her family. “Ohio State’s physicians and staff members continue to work closely with the patient and her family, as we have from the beginning,” Saunders

said. “Due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, we are not at liberty to discuss details of any patient’s medical condition or care.” However, Yinmei Gu still holds on to hope her daughter will recover. “In the morning when I wash her face, she will smile,” Yinmei Gu said. Yifan Gu’s OSU student health insurance only lasts for one more semester. After that, her parents must pay for her treatment. “If Yifan is in this vegetative state, the insurance company will not pay,” Yinmei Gu said. Although Yifan Gu’s tuition of $17,000 has been refunded, Yinmei Gu said, “The money is not enough.” Yinmei Gu said the Medical Center has given the family until April 24 to leave the hospital. If they do not leave, they could be taken to court. Yinmei Gu said she was given three options. One was to take her daughter to rehab but to supply the cost on her own. The other options were to rent a house and take care of her daughter by herself, or go back to China. “I don’t see any of these options working,” Yinmei Gu said. “Rehab is too expensive. We are unable to find a house. The returning back to China option is also not available because none of the hospitals in China will take her as well.”

For a competitive runner, time is everything. But after a series of explosions rocked the finish line of what many see as a competitive runner’s Mecca, different values rose to the surface. “The rest of the day, after (the explosion) happened, nobody asked anybody what their time was,” said Carley Tanchon, a student assistant in Ohio State’s neurosurgery department. “And these people are all competitive runners. Everybody wants to do well, but there are so many things that matter more.” Two blasts near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon that the Boston Police Department determined to be bombs left at least three dead and at least 176 injured as of Tuesday evening, according to police. “I got so many calls, some were from people I haven’t talked to in years, just asking if I was OK,” Tanchon said. “I just want people to use this to remember the love in the world, not the hate.” The series of blasts erupted at about 2:50 p.m., or nearly six hours after the start of the race.

Police stand guard as the city of Boston remains on high alert April 16, a day after the Boston marathon bombing. wave of marathon runners had a start time of 9 a.m. Monday. Kathy Krummen, a sports medicine physical therapist at OSU, also experienced the outpouring of support. “When I got back to my phone about four hours later (after the explosions) I had 18 missed calls and 59 text messages from friends and family,” Krummen said. She said people were telling her they had friends she could stay with,

friends who could pick her up, meet up with her and offer her housing. “There was just this outpouring of support to make sure you were OK. It was the same at the finish line,” she said. “Bystanders became first responders. There was an outpouring of support and community.” Krummen said she was a blockand-a-half to two blocks away from the finish line when she heard what sounded like thunder. “The general feeling was get out

of here, leave here, don’t go back to the finish line,” Krummen said. “It was fear and sadness (going through my head). We were just there (at the finish line). I don’t know what made the bombs go off, and I don’t know what time it was.” The day, Krummen said, was full of uncertainty. “We made it through the (finishing) shoot, but no matter how fast you tried to walk, everyone had just run a marathon,” she said. “It was a slow shuffle. I was thinking, ‘Are there going to be more explosions? Is this it? Is there more?’” Three were killed in the attack. Two have been identified, one as 8-yearold Martin Richard, and another was 29-year-old Krystle Campbell. As of Tuesday evening, the name of the third person killed in the explosions had not been released. The day after the explosions in Boston, Jay Kasey, OSU senior vice president for Administration and Planning, released a message about emergency planning resources to faculty and staff. “We have reiterated this many times, but the best way to prevent a threat from being carried out is for

campus OUAB not hosting Big Free Concert at OSU this spring michele theodore Lantern reporter theodore.13@osu.edu There will not be a Big Free Concert this spring due to the semester switch, despite the popularity of the concerts in the past. The Ohio Union Activities Board typically hosts several free concerts throughout the year, including a Big Free Concert in the spring. However, this year, OUAB members decided to make a change. “Due to the transition from quarters to semesters, the school year ends much earlier than in years past, and OUAB was forced to make certain adjustments to our programming schedule,” said OUAB president Mia Grube in an email. “As a result of the new calendar, it would have been necessary to schedule the concert in late March or April, at a time when the weather is very unpredictable and not conducive to a large, outdoor event.” Last year’s Big Free Concert, held in May on the South Oval, featured Skrillex and Mac Miller. Grube estimated that attendance for the event was between 10,000 and 12,000 people.

Representatives from OUAB declined to say how much money was spent on the 2012 spring concert. One student who attended the concert last year said the weather shouldn’t be an issue for hosting a spring concert. “They could have done it at the end of the year and it would have been (nice) like this,” said Cameron Hynes, a second-year in neuroscience. Grube said OUAB offered free tickets for a concert featuring Maroon 5, Neon Trees and Owl City on Feb. 13 and discounted tickets for a BuckeyeThon Benefit Concert with Kendrick Lamar, Steve Aoki and Bad Rabbits on April 11 to compensate for the lack of a free outdoor spring concert. OUAB planned ahead for the semester switch and hosted the same number of outdoor concerts as last year, just at different times, to keep up with the success the outdoor concerts have had in the past, Grube said. “We were able to host two large, outdoor concerts in Fall Semester, those being Welcome Week Concert and Rock the Oval with O.A.R., which is typically the amount of outdoor concerts we have planned per year on the quarter calendar,” she said in an email. “Additionally, recognizing that

several concerts were held in the Fall Semester, funding was also redirected to support other spring campus events such as speakers, special events, live music, comedy and more.” Some students said they were disappointed there will not be a spring concert this year. “I had an excellent time (last year),” Hynes said. “I was even asking people about it, who was going to come this year.” Long Nguyen, a second-year in biomedical engineering, agreed that he was looking forward to another spring concert. “I wouldn’t know who they would get, but I would probably go no matter what,” Nguyen said. “The concert (last year) was worth it. I would have paid $40 for the concert alone.” Grube said students seem satisfied with the events provided despite changes to the schedule. “OUAB has received questions through social media regarding this change, but overall, students have been very impressed with the concerts provided and different genres of music represented throughout the 2012-2013 school year,” she said. OUAB declined to comment on the cost for last year’s Big Free Concert with Skrillex and Mac Miller.

Airport to keep control tower until June despite sequester luke shirton Lantern reporter shirton.2@osu.edu

Courtesy of OSU

The OSU airport traffic control tower will remain open until June despite previous FFA plans.

The Ohio State University airport might still have an air traffic control tower come June, after the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Association (FAA) announced it will delay its plan to cut funding for air traffic control towers at 149 airports across the country. The FAA announced on March 22 it would begin a four-week phase-out of funding to air traffic control towers on April 7 as part of a required $637 million budget cut from sequestration. According to an April 5 press release, the administration will now cut funding on June 15, in order to give the FAA and airports more time to make changes to the National Airspace System, an aviation system that ensures safe, efficient travel across the U.S. “This has been a complex process and we need to get this right,” said Ray LaHood, U.S. Transportation secretary in a press release. “Safety is our top priority. We

will use this additional time to make sure communities and pilots understand the changes at their local airports.” OSU airport’s air traffic control tower, currently funded by the FAA, costs about $650,000 to operate and services some 70,000 operations annually. Airport director Doug Hammon told The Lantern in a March 27 interview that officials were concerned about the possible closure of the tower due to its use in maintaining safe and efficient take-offs, landings and ground operations for a wide range of pilots, including students involved in OSU’s aviation program. An unnamed student enrolled in the OSU aviation program who spoke to The Lantern under terms of anonymity, said for student pilots, an air traffic control tower provides ground control and can alleviate stress when it comes to safe flight training. “Specifically to aviation students, it’s something that keeps us safe,” the student said. “It’s not uncommon to have four or five planes up in a pattern at OSU flying around, so having to coordinate that, I mean you worry about yourself when you’re up there, so to have someone on the ground taking care of that is, I think, imperative.”

The source also said for students to gain experience working with air traffic control towers was important for those hoping to pursue careers as professional pilots. “We are very fortunate to have our home base have a tower, because later on when we’re flying commercially, all we’re going to be doing is talking to control towers, talking to people on the ground and in the air,” the student said. “So to be able to start out talking to someone is going to set us that much further ahead in our careers.” Jennifer Cowley, associate dean of academic affairs and administration at the OSU College of Engineering, agreed that communication with an air traffic control tower was an important part of students’ flight education, and said the university, which has been exploring options to have the tower privately funded, was focusing on working with the FAA to keep the tower open long-term. “At this point in time, we are focusing our efforts on convincing the FAA to keep our tower open,” Cowley said. “We are currently awaiting a response from the FAA on our request.”

Darkness from 1A Yinmei Gu said if they are forced to leave, they will take the rehab option, but Yifan Gu does not meet the criteria to be admitted to rehab. “Yifan is not well enough to go to rehab. So I don’t know what to do,” Yinmei Gu said. A donation website was set up in February to raise money for Yifan Gu’s rehab treatment costs. The goal was to raise $50,000 but current donations total $84,488. Individual donors gave from $5 to as much as $2,000. Priyal Patel, a second-year in aviation management and Yifan Gu’s friend and former roommate and friend, said she and Yifan Gu were extremely close. “I was actually her emergency contact so I got a call a little after midnight (on the day of the accident),” Patel said. Patel said that when she visited Yifan Gu in the ICU, she and Yifan Gu’s other friends met the parents of the James Daniel Hughes, the OSU student struck by a dump truck just one day before Yifan Gu’s accident. “We all think that some better steps could have been taken,” she said. According to a previous Lantern article, the Columbus Division of Police issued 241 citations in the University District the weekend after Yifan Gu’s accident. The citations comprised of jaywalking and bicycle violations. Chris Bowling, Columbus Police Precinct 4

Commander, said safety on the road is “Just being aware of your surroundings.” Bowling said when crossing the street, students should keep their heads up and leave their headphones off. Bowling added students need to use crosswalks, pay attention to crosswalk signals and be careful at crosswalks not controlled by traffic signals. Bowling also said bicyclists must obey traffic rules and skateboards are not allowed on the street. Kayleigh Chevrier, a second-year in music and Yifan Gu’s friend and former roommate, said she has become more vigilant of traffic rules after her friend’s accident. “I look everywhere I go when I walk. I make sure I can hear things; I can look around and know my surroundings,” she said. “You have to think constantly. It could be your friend. It could be you.” Student Life spokesman, Dave Isaacs said thoughts are with Yifan Gu and her family. “Student Life’s Student Advocacy Center continues to maintain contact with the family, assisting them in whatever way we can during this difficult time,” he said. There has been no word from the bicyclist who struck Yifan Gu. Yinmei Gu said she plans to take it step-by-step when it comes to her daughter’s recovery, but that it will be hard. “It’s all broken down, falling to pieces,” she said. “It’s all darkness ahead of us. We can’t even see. We don’t know what to do.” Sally Xia contributed to this article

Gayle Saunders, assistant vice president of media and public relations, said if there was a threat, an alert would have been sent. “Officials determined there was no threat to the university community, which is why no emergency notifications or warnings were issued,” Saunders said. “The response by police and fire authorities was precautionary and in accordance with their standard procedures for inspecting the unattended item. Had there been a threat, we would have notified the university community and provided appropriate action steps to take.” The University Police Twitter account @ OSUPOLICE said at about 8 p.m. the “Situation at Union was NOT a threat. It was an unattended item. Police and fire response was precautionary per standard procedure.” Despite the distinction, Stepp said, “I would have liked to see a crime alert.” Others said they did not feel they were in danger in regards to the suspicious package. “There was just something like this a week or so ago, so I feel like hopefully it will be fine,” said Chanel Walker, a third-year in finance who waited outside The Newport Music Hall until the evacuation was lifted. This attitude of normalcy regarding threats received recently is one that resonates with some

students on campus. A threat of violence focused on an OSU campus cafeteria was reported to students in a public safety notice on April 3. Postings to fantasy role-player game sites prompted University Police to increase presence on and around campus dining facilities due to the threat. Four days later, another public safety notice was issued to warn the campus community about the threat of a shooting or explosive violence on campus also geared toward a cafeteria or unspecified area on campus. Police presence was again heightened on campus until the window of concern had passed. OSU Deputy Chief of Police Richard Morman said in a Tuesday email there was no new information to release and that police were still investigating. A bombing occurred at the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday, where at least three people were killed and more than 170 were injured. Because of the marathon explosions, some students were more worried about the suspicious package at the Ohio Union. “(I’m) a little bit (worried) with everything that’s happening in Boston,” said Kelly Simon, a thirdyear in animal sciences.

Bombing from 1A everyone to be aware of their surroundings and immediately report anything suspicious: If you ‘see something, say something,’” Kasey’s message read. He mentioned the tips were to be kept in mind if threats were carried out on campus. In the last two weeks, two threats were made online insinuating a shooting would take place in an OSU “cafeteria” or unspecified area on campus. Kasey’s message listed a proper chain of responses to a threat as being “run, hide and as a last resort, fight.” He assured that the “public safety team is prepared to respond.” “We continue to be thankful the potential threats directed toward the university were not acted upon, and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the violence in Boston,” Kasey said. The Ohio Union was evacuated at about 7 p.m. Tuesday because of a suspicious package, which was detonated by OSU Police officers at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, the Boston Globe reported that investigators determined the Boston Marathon bombs “consisted of two 6-liter pressure cookers packed with nails, ball bearings and other metal.” The bombs were found in duffel bags, according to officials.

Despite the day’s chaos and attack, Krummen said she is not discouraged from running another marathon. “I’ll definitely do the (Boston) Marathon again,” she said. “You don’t stop driving because you get in a car crash and you don’t stop running because you’re afraid someone will take it away from you. I am definitely doing Boston (in) 2014.” Monday marked Krummen’s second time running the Boston Marathon, and she said it is an unmatched experience. “Boston is such a fun, unique experience. You’re surrounded by other people who worked so hard to get there, and you focus on your own goals, you’re not comparing yourself to anyone else. I mean, the whole city shuts down for this.” Tanchon agreed. “It was just a strange day. Usually there is all this excitement and joy — everybody has to qualify with Boston,” she said. “Everybody worked very hard to be there. Boston is about hard work and dedication more than every other marathon.” She said the day reaffirmed what she loves about the running community. “I feel inspired,” Tanchon said. “Loving people comes before the (finishing) time.”

Woman shot on COTA bus near OSU campus A 39-year-old woman was wounded in the head while riding a No. 4 COTA bus at about 4:45 pm April 16 near OSU’s campus. She was transported to Wexner Medical Center in critial condition. At least 3 bullets shot at 8th Avenue and 4th Street struck the bus from the outside, shattering a window. Other passengers were held for questioning for at least 30 minutes after the incident, but no arrests had been made by 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Columbus Division of Police is still determining how the bullets struck the bus.

Time of mourning needed after Boston Marathon bombing Multimedia Editor

Days that change the country start off just like any other. Kids hurry off to school, parents head into work and runners lace up their shoes, the same way all of them routinely do. cody cousino But Monday cousino.20@osu.edu was unfortunately not like every other day. Monday, the innocence that goes along with the average person’s day was ripped out from underneath our collective feet. Monday, we were reminded that there are people who see the peacefulness of the average day and want to shatter it violently. And the part that perhaps hurts the most is that those people momentarily succeed. The routine, the innocence, the peace and our collective hearts are all shattered by events like the bombing of the Boston Marathon. The only thing that can help the nation as a whole recover is time and a vow to never let it happen again. The time is needed to mourn and only mourn. The time is needed to sit down and individually feel pain for those who were hurt or lost a loved one.

By attempting to feel the weight of the event, we can then hope to come together and attempt to lift some of that weight off the shoulders of those truly affected. The time should never be used to get across an agenda. Already posts are going viral of people saying things like the attack happened due to American godlessness. To use the time for anything other than simply reflecting on the pain others must feel is incomprehensible. But to go a step further and say that another American’s way of life, be it a Tea Partier, a socialist, a gun lover or an agnostic, is the problem that led to such horrific attacks should never even be mentioned while people mourn, if at all. That is because recovering from events like the bombing of the marathon, the shooting in Newtown and the attacks of 9/11 have nothing to do with politics at all. Instead, they are reminders that wherever there is peace, there will be people who look to break it, and where there is innocence there will be people who seek to tarnish it. Though it is a tough lesson to learn, being aware of a lack of safety is the only positive way to learn a lesson from tragedies. Turning inward and against each other will only create further problems and further fighting, when all that is needed and wanted is peace and healing. Once there has been time for reflection and mourning, we can begin to look for the problem. But until then, taking time to reflect on the pain of those less fortunate is the only way peace and healing can begin.

Young kid practicing for 1st date reminded of proper etiquette, need to say ‘I love you’ clayton fuller Lantern reporter Fuller.285@osu.edu Inspiration is spontaneous and often found in the least expected places. Some of the best wisdom I’ve ever read was written on the wall of a bathroom stall. And, just the other day, I saw one of the best date ideas I’ve seen by a young kid on his first date. I’d just ordered my drink when the young boy, in a dress coat over his suit, and his date hurriedly stepped in from the inclement weather (after all, it is Ohio). He had held the door for her. He continued his good start when he took her coat and helped her into a booth, though she may have gestured for him to do so. It was curiously obvious that this was the first official date for an impressively odd couple. They sat at a table catercorner to my own, with only

the boy facing me. There was a low, steady din from all the activity at other tables, so their conversation was indiscernible to me. However, I could see that he was nodding with a closed-smile for much of the evening — I could see that he was listening. Sincerely. When their food arrived, he followed her lead and put his napkin in his lap; his etiquette was rehearsed and irreproachable. When the bill came, he knew his role. Around this time I heard nature’s call; as I passed by their table, I heard her say, “Well, I think you’re ready. I love you.” With five words that likely cannot be said too often, he replied. “I love you too, Grandma.” Their practice date had been a success. Even if we no longer need the practice, I imagine many among us still have grandparents, parents and so on, who could use a date. Even if it’s only to tell them our own five words.

Local, state and federal agencies respond to a blast at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 in Boston.

Gay marriage proponents fueled by emotions, not considering potential financial, tax burdens Letter to the editor: The legalization of gay marriage may not be as bad as “Bible-Thumpers” and other opposition makes it out to be. The legalization would allow access to more federal programs that used to be available to only heterosexual couples and would raise more tax revenue. I am personally against gay marriage. However, since religion, in my opinion, has no place in politics and economics — especially in a country founded on the principles of equality, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and freedom of religion — it seems very hypocritical that we are forcing people who may or may not be religious to live by religious laws. The laws that we have today are supposed to be absent of religious influence. Adultery and lying are religious laws that we do not strictly enforce; imagine how crowded our prisons would be if every person who slept with someone outside the binds of marriage, or every parent who told “little white lies” to their children was locked up. The argument against the legalization of gay marriage is emotional. Bryan Caplan’s theory of rational irrationality is shown with the cyclical rejection to legalize gay marriage. This theory claims that people vote in a way that parallels their biases, making their irrational voting rational with respect to their beliefs. The opposition of gay marriage is mainly religious and voted down simply because it fits their bias and in the process they avoid a conflict of beliefs. The repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, which outlaws gay marriage, would change taxes for the homosexual population. If gay marriage was legalized, homosexual couples would be exempt from the federal estate tax on wealth passed to the other spouse when he or she dies, just like heterosexual couples. They would also receive more than 1,100 federal benefits that are associated with the married status, according to CNN — an example being not having to have two

health insurance plans but able to pull from the spouse’s employer. Allowing gay marriage may be more of a financial punishment on homosexuals. The newlywed would be subject to a larger income tax burden due to the “marriage penalty,” or when a dual-income household pays more in taxes than a single-income household due to the decreased number of dependents on his or her tax return. As the personal benefits are clear, greater access to programs ad funds that were once only available to married couples, the net effects are not as substantial. The Williams Institute approximates that if Rhode Island legalized gay marriage, it would lead to lower spending on welfare and increased tax revenue only to gain $1.2 million over three years. The same institute approximates that over a 10-year period, the tax revenue from gay couples would total about $1 billion or a 0.1 percent gain. With respect to tax revenue, the results from legalizing gay marriage are not as substantial as predicted. For homosexuals, the benefits of being able to mark “married” on tax returns greatly exceed the costs of not being married. For a country that stresses equality and freedom from religion and granting the freedom to run one’s personal life the way he or she desires, it seems logical that homosexuals should be able to enjoy the same social standing as heterosexual couples, be allowed to have the same rights and opportunities and enjoy the same benefits, but also suffer the same costs as heterosexual couples.

Bill Hader (left) and Seth Meyers appear together on ‘SNL’s’ Weekend Update. Hader visited OSU April 15 in the Mershon Auditorium.

Hader brings impressions, ‘SNL’ insight to OSU Lauren Weitz Lantern reporter weitz.20@osu.edu Bill Hader might be used to the chaos of performing on “Saturday Night Live,” but the energy at Ohio State took him aback. After yelling “O-H” at the beginning of the event, Hader was alarmed by the loud audience response. He instantly said “F---,” and compared the response to the reaction of a cougar after poking it. Hader spoke to about 1,200 students Monday night in the Mershon Auditorium during an Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event. The event was in Q-and-A format, with theater professor Nicholas Dekker moderating the first half and students asking questions for the remainder. Hader has been a cast member of “SNL” since 2005 and was nominated for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2012 for his work on the show. Hader has also starred in films including “Adventureland,” “Superbad” and “Men in Black 3.” Hader’s character Stefon on “Saturday Night Live” usually picks out the hottest clubs in New York City, but Hader said he might pick the Varsity Club when visiting Columbus. “I think he would just hang out at the Varsity Club. He would take over the Varsity Club and make it a vomit factory,” Hader said in an interview with The Lantern. “He would play throw-up music. He would just fill it full of broken glass.” Hader talked highly about all of his fellow cast members and said they have their own comedic strengths. “I feel very lucky to be working with all of those people,” Hader told The Lantern. “You learn that the first rule of improv is making the other people look good, and they’re very easy to make look good.” During the event, Hader gave students a sample of his many impressions, including Al Pacino, Jimmy Fallon and Peter Falk, and even brought out his Stefon voice. Hader said some of his favorite “SNL” hosts include Justin Timberlake, Jon Hamm and Martin Short.

“I was totally starstruck,” Hader said of Short hosting “SNL.” “He’s like the funniest guy in the world.” Hader told many stories about his experiences with different hosts on “SNL,” including how a wall almost fell on Justin Bieber during a sketch in dress rehearsal when the singer hosted on Feb. 9. “In the middle of the sketch a f-----g wall almost falls on Justin Bieber. It cuts to Justin Bieber and he looks like he s--- his pants and then it cuts to me and I’m laughing,” Hader said. “All I could say was, ‘Is the little guy going to be OK?’ and (later) he was like, ‘What was that little guy thing?’ You should be happy I said guy!” Even though “SNL” sketches are supposed to make the audience laugh, Hader is known for breaking during sketches, most commonly when acting as Stefon and also during “The Californians.” Hader said producer and creator of “SNL,” Lorne Michaels, doesn’t get mad when he can’t contain his laughter during a live sketch. “I asked him and he said, ‘It’s fine when you do it because it seems very genuine,’ because (‘SNL’ writer) John Mulaney is f-----g with me,” Hader said. “Like in Stefon, he puts stuff on the (cue) cards that I haven’t seen yet. So I’m like saying something and something comes up and I’m like, ‘What?’” Hader helps write many sketches on the show, including those for his characters Stefon and the elderly, angry TV reporter Herb Welch, but he said that before “SNL,” he had no experience writing sketch comedy or doing impressions. “I learned everything at ‘SNL.’ I had no idea what I was doing,” Hader said. “I went from like kindergarten to Harvard.” Even though Hader is in his eighth season at “SNL,” he said that it’s still “terrifying” to perform on live television week after week. “It never gets easy,” Hader said. “I remember Will Ferrell coming back to do something and he got off stage and his hands were shaking.” As for pre-show rituals, Hader said he eats a Cliff Bar and drinks a double espresso before each show. But the entire cast has a shared ritual. “When Don Pardo says your name, you give

yourself a little pat on the back,” Hader said, referring to the opening credits. One student asked about the process of writing sketches and brainstorming ideas for “SNL.” “It’s like being with your friends just f-----g around. You just have to be loose and not think too much,” Hader said. “It’s a very organic process and I learned to not over-analyze it too much.” Hader said success doesn’t come easy; performing comedy is an acquired skill. “You’re gonna go up there and you’re gonna suck,” Hader said. “None of us like, go out there and like, knock it out of the park immediately. We all suck when we start out.” Even though working at “SNL” is very timeconsuming, Hader still found time to star in a few upcoming films, including “The To-Do List,” which was written and directed by Hader’s wife, Maggie Carey, and “The Skeleton Twins,” in which Hader plays Kristen Wiig’s gay twin brother. Megan Lyon, comedy chair for OUAB, said bringing Hader to campus was an obvious choice. “Bill Hader was a popular selection among students, and OUAB’s Comedy Committee was also very passionate and excited about the opportunity to bring a well-known comedian to Ohio State,” Lyon said in an email. Adam Lichtcsien, a third-year in anthropology, said he enjoyed the show but was surprised by the setup of the event. “I showed up thinking it was going to be a comedy event, but I was really pleased with the way they did it,” Lichtcsien said. “You can tell he’s a really nice guy, he’s very professional and yet he remains jokey. The fact that he was able to spin it into a comedy just as a forum was really great.” Anahita Ameri, a third-year in mechanical engineering, is a member of Fishbowl Improv and loved hearing advice from Hader about making it to “SNL” and the audition process. “Since like the Ashlee Simpson debacle in 2004, I wanted to be on ‘Saturday Night Live,’” Ameri said. “That advice, even though it was very subtle, when I heard it I was like ‘This is great.’” A representative from OUAB declined to comment on the cost of the event.

Metal, hard rock highlight Columbus’ annual Rock on the Range Breanna Soroka Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu The summer music festival season is closing in fast, and as a result many official lineups have finally been announced. These festivals are scheduled to take place in the coming months in all areas of the country, and your particular tastes in music will likely determine your music festivals of choice. Each week, I’ll weigh in on an upcoming festival.

Friday

Traveling isn’t always feasible when it comes to summer music festivals, and luckily it isn’t necessary with Columbus’ very own Rock on the Range. Though this event features many musical acts in the same genre, it is scheduled to showcase notable acts falling under the labels of hard rock and metal. If you’re planning on staying around the area, this is a great piece of Columbus not to be missed. Here are some artists worthy checking out when you go.

Cheap Trick I would never be able to forgive myself if I missed the chance to see this classic band, and I don’t think you should miss it either. Popularity gained solely for “I Want You to Want Me” aside, Cheap Trick has been around for several generations, and its music has held its own throughout time. It’s best not to go to this show if the only song you’ve heard is the one mentioned above, so give “Dream Police” a listen to broaden your musical horizons and determine if seeing this band would be a good fit. It also might be a good idea to listen to the entirety of the band’s “Authorized Greatest Hits” album to get a taste of what makes Cheap Trick such a classic rock group. Cheap Trick is scheduled to perform May 17 at Rock on the Range. Black Veil Brides I know what you’re thinking, and you can judge me all you want, but I am going to hold true with my recommendation for seeing this band. Black Veil Brides calls upon inspiration from the great glam-rock bands of the past, and any man who can pull off a face full of makeup better than I can earns my respect. I’m not sure why there is so much hatred toward this band, and I don’t really care. The music is good, the live shows rock, and that’s all that matters. If you’re still on the fence about seeing this show, listen to “In The End” and just take in the electric guitar solos and rumbling voice of lead vocalist Andy Biersack. If you don’t immediately feel like you’ve been transported to the 1970s, you’ve missed the point. Otherwise, get your devil-horned hands ready to rock. Black Veil Brides is scheduled to perform May 18 at Rock on the Range.

In This Moment is slated to play Rock on the Range on May 17 at the Columbus Crew Stadium. In This Moment Of course I have to highlight a female-fronted metal band, and there is no better choice than In This Moment. Lead vocalist Maria Brink brings pure power and strength to the music with her voice and provides a new twist on the standard metal genre. There’s just something so refreshing about hearing a girl scream her angst out to the tune of gritty guitars and pounding drums. The band’s most recent single “Blood” is a solid track to help you get a taste of the music. It showcases a modern metal sound without trying too hard to make a statement, something that is all too common in the world of rock music today. In This Moment’s 2012 album, also called “Blood,” is full of great tracks like that one, so just take your pick and prepare to mosh your face off. In This Moment is scheduled to perform May 19 at Rock on the Range. Unfortunately, Rock on the Range is also scheduled to feature Hollywood Undead and Buckcherry, two bands that I consider huge pimples on the face of rock ‘n’ roll music. I recommend you avoid these sets at all costs. Both are slated for performances on May 17. Rock on the Range is scheduled for May 17-19 at the Columbus Crew Stadium. Weekend tickets are available for $119.50, or in single-day variations — Friday tickets are available for $39.50 and Saturday or Sunday tickets are available for $69.50.

Iron & Wine uses smooth jazz sound on ‘Ghost on Ghost’ SHELBy LUM Lantern reporter lum.13@osu.edu Sam Beam, better known as his act Iron & Wine, was once the bearded glory of strippeddown music, the advocate for all things acoustic and melancholy — but not anymore. Since his debut in 2002 with “The Creek Drank The Cradle,” he has been slowly changing his style with each new album. “Ghost on Ghost,” which released Tuesday, is his venture into old-school jazz. It’s the kind of jazz you would expect to hear in a smoke-filled bar, far from his early acoustic days. Fast-forward the album to track 11. “Lovers’ Revolution” is essentially what the album entails. Beam’s honey-sweet vocals. Piano ballad. Cue the brass section. Underlying, backing female vocals. Iron & Wine’s album layers on different

sections of music for a smooth jazz style. It has a lounge-esque feel. Grab a martini and nod your head along with the snappy, plucked upright bass. Enjoy the brass instrumentals that take over partway through the songs. Through “Ghost on Ghost” there are small nuggets of Beam’s early style. “Winter Prayers” and “Joy” strip out a majority of the instrumentals that take over the other tracks. Instead, the vocals are the main aspect, and the subtle instrumentals fade into the background of the song. Beam’s voice is overpowering, that’s why his first album gained him so much attention. Iron & Wine never needed anything other than Beam’s vocals, and the select tracks where he falls back into his original style are a treat. “Winter Prayers” takes on the melancholy tone that made everyone fall in love with Iron & Wine and Beam’s somber voice. “Low Light Buddy of Mine” opens with a tapping drum and then a bass line. A deep and eerie sound comes over the song, and a brass section comes in at the tail end of the track,

solidifying the song as distinctly jazzier than the previous “Joy.” While the jazz style might not be what his fans wanted, Beam does it well. “New Mexico’s No Breeze” sounds like Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.” It has a distinctly ‘70s feel to it. “Ghost on Ghost” is old-school jazz paired with Iron & Wine’s classic smooth vocals. Unfortunately, he did not include much of his strippeddown, bare-bones songs that Iron & Wine fans have come to love and associate with his music. Grade: B-

9th annual Craftin’ Outlaws fair to bring alternative, handmade crafts to Columbus LAUrEN WEitz Lantern reporter weitz.20@osu.edu From handmade soap grenades to jewelry made from vintage metal trinkets, the Craftin’ Outlaws alternative craft fair features items and handmade goods that are just that — alternative. “It’s all very kind of eclectic items that you wouldn’t find anywhere else and this is an opportunity to come in and buy them directly from all of the vendors,” said Megan Green, organizer of the fair. Craftin’ Outlaws is in its ninth year, and its first spring fair is scheduled for Saturday at Veterans Memorial from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Since 2005, local crafters have been selling their homemade goods at the Craftin’ Outlaws fair. While the fair has only had one show per year around the winter holiday season, a second spring show was added to the schedule for 2013. The holiday show draws in about 3,000 to 4,000 guests in one day, Green said, and she thinks the spring show will also be a big success. “There was not another show of this caliber during the springtime, so it just felt like the right time to do it, and it’s just a nice way of carrying our brand,” Green said. “It’s just another opportunity for handmade people to get their goods out there.” Olivera Bratich, owner of craft store Wholly Craft in Clintonville, has been a vendor at the fair since its first year in 2005 and sells jewelry items that she makes as well as items from her store. “At the show, we sell work from artists who can’t be there themselves, whether it’s because they don’t live locally or they just

the Craftin’ Outlaws alternative craft fair is scheduled to take place April 20 at Veterans Memorial. can’t attend the show that day,” Bratich said. “We sort of represent the people who can’t be there on their own.” Wholly Craft is also a sponsor of the craft fair, and Bratich said her store is happy to support it. “It’s supporting people who are making a living from their creativity,” Bratich said. “It’s a different way of looking at the world. It’s meaningful in the sense that it came from somebody’s heart and hands.” Green said the founder of the fair, Liz Rosino, started Craftin’

Outlaws because there wasn’t anywhere in Columbus that sold these “alternative” crafts. Even though the term “alternative” has become a common way to describe Craftin’ Outlaws, Green said the term might be outdated. “With the growth of Etsy (an online marketplace for handmade items), handmade goods of that nature seem to be much more accepted,” Green said. “I think we’re a little more mainstream now. I think we’ve kind of grown up and people have grown up with us.” While about 150 vendors applied to sell their crafts at the spring show, only 75 were chosen, Green said. Many factors go into choosing the vendors including diversity, quality of pictures provided and the price of their crafts. “We might get 50 jewelry applications out of 150, so trying to narrow it down to maybe five to 10 jewelry makers that each offer something unique, but slightly different from one another, is overwhelming,” Green said. “You’re looking for people who do it and do it very well and who offer a unique identity or brand.” Green said the show has grown in size over the years, which prompted the move from its former location at the Gateway Film Center to Franklin County Veterans Memorial. The first show in 2005 had about 50 vendors while this year’s spring show has 75, and Green said the location move has helped more people find out about the show. “Going to a place like Veterans Memorial has kind of solidified us in the community,” Green said. “It kind of puts us at a higher caliber. It puts us in the eyes of people who may not have heard of us before.” Visit thelantern.com to read the rest of this story

OSU hired Kevin McGuff as its women’s basketball coach Tuesday. McGuff has coached 9 seasons at Xavier and 2 at Washington.

Ohio State has named its next women’s basketball coach. The school announced Tuesday that Washington’s Kevin McGuff will be the next coach of the Buckeye program. “We are excited with the opportunity for Kevin to lead our women’s basketball program,” said OSU athletic director Gene Smith in a released statement. “He is a proven leader and has done a marvelous job everywhere he has been. We welcome him back to his home, Ohio.” The move comes less than a month after splitting ways with former coach Jim Foster on March 19. Foster spent 11 seasons in Columbus and garnered a 279-82 record. McGuff, who spent nine seasons at Xavier (214-73) in Cincinnati before jumping ship to Washington in 2011, led the Huskies to a 21-12 finish that ended in a loss to

Pacific in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament second round this year. “I am extremely excited and humbled to be the next women’s basketball coach at Ohio State,” McGuff said in a released statement. “This is an amazing opportunity for my family and me to come back to the state of Ohio. I would like to thank Gene, Miechelle Willis (executive associate athletic director) and President (E. Gordon) Gee for putting their faith in me to be their next head coach. As someone who is from the state of Ohio, I know how special of a place this is and my goal is to have Ohio State competing at the highest level of women’s college basketball.” McGuff, who was 41-26 in two seasons with Washington, signed a contract extension on March 26 through 2020, according to a press release. An OSU spokesman said the terms of McGuff’s contract will be made available at a press conference Wednesday.

Jordan Whiting still chasing NFL dreams dan hope Oller reporter hope.46@osu.edu Jordan Whiting could be playing for an Ohio State football team that won all 12 of its games last season, or playing for a Louisville team that upset Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Formerly an OSU linebacker, Whiting transferred to Louisville prior to the 2012 season. He was not eligible to play for the Cardinals last season, due to NCAA rules requiring players who transfer between Football Bowl Subdivision schools to sit out one year before playing for their new school. His career at Louisville, however, ended before it even began because of a failed drug test. “When I first got here, I was hanging out with a buddy of mine, and unfortunately, hanging out with him, not really thinking too clearly, I decided to take a few hits of marijuana,” Whiting told The Lantern in January. “I failed my first drug test of my college career.” This wasn’t the first time Whiting made a mistake that affected his college football career. On Dec. 23, 2010, Whiting received a one-game ban as one of six OSU football players suspended for receiving improper benefits from Eddie Rife, owner of Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor. Those violations, dubbed “Tattoo-Gate” by many, eventually resulted in the Buckeyes vacating the results of their 2010 season, being banned from postseason play in 2012 and losing nine scholarships over a three-year period. Whiting said his violation came as a result of accepting a discount on a tattoo and said he did not realize

The Scarlet team won, 59-27. he was receiving a discount at the time. “It’s a learning experience and unfortunately some rules, even though we don’t necessarily agree with them, they still are rules,” Whiting said. Whiting said the hardest part of the situation was dealing with the criticism he and his suspended teammates received. “I learned that some people can be very cruel,” Whiting said. “A lot of the guys, not necessarily me, but some guys were getting death wishes via email. “None of those athletes, including myself, ever would bring harm to any other person out here,” Whiting added. Whiting has tattoos on both of his arms, his chest and his back, which he said “mean everything” to him.

“My tattoos are all religion and family,” Whiting said. “I don’t have one tattoo that you could look at and be like, ‘What does that mean?’ or ‘Why would you get that tatted on you?’ or anything like that. “I love tattoos,” Whiting added. “I guess you could say it’s somewhat of an addiction.” Whiting remained with the Buckeyes in 2011 after serving his suspension but transferred to Louisville that spring. His three-year career at OSU consisted of one redshirt year and two playing seasons, but only one career tackle. Whiting said he became more mature as a result of his experience at OSU. “It was a growing pain that I had to go through,” Whiting said. “I think me

being at Ohio State, it wasn’t for me to shine as an athlete, it was for me to grow up as a man.” By blowing his opportunity to play at Louisville with his failed drug test, Whiting said he disappointed himself and his family. “I made a bad decision, and unfortunately that bad decision did lead to me not being a part of the team anymore,” Whiting said. “I don’t blame them for that decision, I don’t blame anybody else but myself, but you live and you learn and you move on, and that’s the only thing you can do.” Whiting hasn’t given up on his football dreams quite yet. He said he is continuing to pursue a career in

OSU 4th-year men’s basketball student manager Weston Strayer poses with an honorary OSU jersey.

The squeaking of brand new Nikes against polished hardwood fills the expansive interior of an empty Schottenstein Center. Bouncing basketballs, blowing whistles and exhausted grunts combine to form the soundtrack of a Buckeye basketball practice. Some of the members of the Ohio State men’s basketball program stand drenched in sweat, hands on their hips and watch as others participate in drills. These spectators and participants combine to comprise an indisposable crew on the floor, but they aren’t the basketball team. They’re the seven members of the Ohio State men’s basketball managerial staff. While the actual team wins the games and earns the headlines, the staff supporting the team is happy to sit behind the bench on game days, out of the spotlight. They’re OK with the idea that the outside world has no clue how important they were to coach Thad Matta and his teams’ preparations for victory. “A lot of people just think we’re all ‘water and towels’ and just kind of there,” said Weston Strayer, manager and a fourthyear in marketing. “But they don’t understand just how much time and work we put in each week to the program.” Their contributions are noticed by those who pay attention though. “The managers do everything you really don’t want to do, and they do it with a smile on their face,” said senior forward Evan Ravenel. “They’re one of the key components to our team, and we wouldn’t be half as good without those guys.”

A typical OSU student gets up, goes to class, maybe goes to work afterward and then juggles homework with a social life. The managers have those same obligations, but in addition to their school obligations, they deal with between 35 and 40 hours a week of unpaid work for basketball activities. They show up for 10 a.m. practice an hour before to set up. They stay two hours after to rebound for players who want to get extra shots up or to run errands for coaches. It can end up being a five-hour shift. On game days, they’re there for the pre-game shootaround five hours before tip-off and will stay at the arena for the next eight hours, through the pre-game team meal and the game itself. During the games, they take advanced stats for the coaches, set up chairs on the court for the team during timeouts and manage Matta’s play-calling whiteboard. “Once the game starts, nothing we have done is going to change anything, but preparation-wise, we definitely help them out where we can,” Strayer said. “We try and do our best to help them prepare and make everything a little bit easier for them.” The man in charge of the managers is David Egelhoff, director of basketball operations. He’s been on the OSU staff for 10 years and in his current position for seven. In addition to handling the day-to-day, off-court activities of the basketball team, he handles the application and hiring process of the team’s managers and serves as their boss. It’s a position his past has qualified him for. Egelhoff served as a student manager for OSU’s basketball team from 1998 to 2002 under former OSU coach Jim O’Brien. He said his times as a manager make up some of his favorite college memories.

sports Whiting from 1B professional football. He told The Lantern earlier this month that he had not yet received interest from NFL teams leading up to the 2013 NFL draft. “I’m not ready to tell the game goodbye, and not under these circumstances,” Whiting said. “I’d rather tell the game goodbye under circumstances that I cannot control. Whether it be because I got hurt, or whether it be because I got cut from a team, or retirement … I can accept that, but I cannot accept telling the game goodbye off of my bad decisions. I feel like I have a lot to bring to a team.” OSU assistant coach Luke Fickell said it is critical for Whiting to take advantage of any opportunity he gets if he is going to make it at the next level. “He’s a guy that’s got some physical tools and ability, and you know, anybody that finds the right place and the right situation and at the right time has a chance to be successful,” Fickell said. “You have a chance and you get an opportunity, the window is slight and you got to take advantage of all those opportunities.” Etienne Sabino, who is pursuing his own NFL dreams and could be selected in the 2013 NFL Draft as an outside linebacker, played with Whiting at OSU from 2009-2011. He

said Whiting “looked good in drills,” although Whiting did not get much chance to play. “He definitely had a lot of ability,” Sabino said. “He has a lot of potential, and I know he’s a strong kid so I wish him the best of luck.” Whiting said it would mean “the world” to him if he gets a chance to play in the NFL, but he is also working on other pursuits. He is enrolled to resume classes at OSU this summer and work toward completing his degree in marketing. He is also a founder of a marketing consulting company (J. Infinity LLC) and is writing a book, which he said is titled “A Developing Man.” Whiting said he also wants to start a foundation to benefit and mentor low-income children. Whiting said he “would never make the same mistake twice,” has learned from his mistakes and hopes young athletes can also learn from his story. “I’ve played over 17 years of football and I’ve been a part of five different organizations,” Whiting said. “I’ve earned 12 championship rings, 10 in high school, 2 in college. I’ve been to three BCS bowl games and I was one season away from what I would like to see as my blowout season. But one thing that prevented all that from happening was one bad decision. And that’s all it takes.”

Thomas has patience, maturity to make it in the NBA sports Columnist

eric seger seger.25@osu.edu

It’s been almost two weeks since Ohio State men’s basketball forward Deshaun Thomas announced he is leaving early to enter the 2013 NBA Draft. Being one of Thomas’ biggest supporters this past season, my heart sank when I heard about his decision, but it is one that I fully understand and respect. Something that I am struggling to understand is all the so-called “experts” saying that he will not have much success at the next level. Some say he is not quick enough to defend at an elite level and earn playing time. Some say he is too selfish and takes too many bad shots that will frustrate

coaches. Some say that he is a “me first” player who will get frustrated when he does not get shots. This madness needs to stop now. Thomas led the Big Ten in scoring this past season at 19.8 points per game and scored in double digits in every game. He shot 83 percent from the free throw line, 34 percent from behind the arc and an impressive 45 percent overall. Thomas made all of that happen while being the main scoring option on a limited offensive team and thus getting the opposing team’s best defense thrown at him every game. Sure, sometimes he forced some outside shots that were cause for frustration and he was not as good as of a defender as some people might have liked. But when you play on the same team as junior guard Aaron Craft and sophomore guard Shannon Scott, you are never going to look as good defensively as you want. The truth of the matter is Thomas improved the defensive part of his game immensely during his three years at OSU. He never visibly got upset when he was not getting the ball, and when his shots were not going in, he wasn’t afraid to keep firing away with confidence. Take the NCAA tournament, for example. In both the third-round game against Iowa State and Sweet 16 matchup

against Arizona, it was Craft and sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross, respectively, who made game-winning shots to help the Buckeyes advance. I will admit that I wanted Thomas to be the one with the ball in his hands at the end of the game, but after both of the shots went in, he was among the first to hug his teammates in excitement. I’ve never seen a player who enjoys playing basketball as much as Thomas. He rarely seems to be upset and is usually smiling. I know that I am biased, but after watching the OSU episode of “The Journey” on Big Ten Network, I could not help but think that Thomas is tremendously positive and has the right outlook toward life. I think those qualities will translate well to the NBA. At 6-foot-7, Thomas most likely will play wing in the NBA. His critics say that he is not quick enough to play on the outside and too short to play on the inside. However, Thomas possesses an exceptional mid-range jump shot and has proven that he can get it off thanks to a quick release. He also excels in isolation situations, a trait that will work well at the next level. The topic that is rarely mentioned is how much Thomas has matured in comparison to his freshman year at OSU. For example, during the Wisconsin game in Columbus

ANDREW HOLLERAN / Photo editor

Former OSU junior forward Deshaun Thomas goes for the basket during a game against Michigan State on Feb. 24 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 68-60. on Jan. 29, he got the ball in transition with an opportunity to try and score against three defenders. He chose instead to wait for his teammates to get down the court to set up the offense. Two years ago, Thomas might have tried to be the hero and score in that situation. Something as simple as that shows how much he has grown and how smart he is as a player. I’m not saying that he should be a lottery pick. What I am saying is that the team that drafts him will get a player who loves the game, is willing to work hard and

can score from anywhere on the court. I think he deserves to be selected in the firstround, and after going through the adjustment period that nearly every player goes through when he makes the jump from the college to professional ranks, he will be a productive player. No matter how you feel about it now, I’m sure Thomas will be fun to watch, and I know that I will certainly be tuning in. Eric Seger is a Big Ten Network Student U intern.

sports Managers from 1B

“I’ve made lifelong friendships, not only with the managers but the coaching staffs and players I’ve worked with as well,” Egelhoff said. “We had a really enjoyable time doing a lot of things … those experiences we had were pretty special to me.” The sheer quantity of time the managers spend with each other has allowed them to form a special bond. “It’s a great group of guys, we joke and mess with each other and it’s a lot of fun,” Strayer said. “We kind of joke when we walk out of the tunnel (during home games), they announce the ‘three-time defending Big Ten champions’ and then we all kind of just come out before everyone, so I always wonder what people think when they see us in the suits walking out by the team.” Evan Kurt, a third-year manager and a fourth-year in marketing, said the experiences of going to the Final Four and to different venues around the country have made managing the “best time” of his life. While the managers know they will never make the game-winning shot, they also are aware that their weeklong

contributions before the 40-minute games are vital. “There’s a lot that goes on at practices that people don’t see. If you don’t know all about what goes on behind the scenes, you don’t really understand,” Kurt said. “Game to game, it’s players and coaches who determine success, but behind the scenes, it’s us helping everybody improve and helping everybody get better.” The managers’ reward for the hours upon hours of dirty work isn’t fame, money or recognition. It’s something less tangible, but something the managers say is much more important. “The sense of being a part of the team,” Strayer said. “It’s one thing to be a fan, but to be emotionally involved, and to be with the team all the time and to be a part of the team is something I’ll never forget.” Ravenel, a player who has played on three Big Ten championship teams and two Final Four teams, expressed the team’s gratitude for its managers. “A program like ours wouldn’t be able to be successful without guys like our managers,” Ravenel said.

OSU sophomore forward Tanner Fritz holds off an opponent during a game against Notre Dame on Feb. 2 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU tied, 2-2.

Ohio State has named Steve Rohlik as the interim coach of its men’s hockey team, according to a press release. Rohlik, who served as the Buckeyes’ associate head coach for three seasons, will replace former coach Mark Osiecki, who the university let go Monday. Rohlik said he doesn’t know why Osiecki was fired. “It has been a difficult couple days for everybody. I’m just focusing on my role of getting the players to finish up the semester in the way they need to do and that’s what my focus is on right now,” Rohlik said in an interview with The Lantern Tuesday afternoon. Rohlik joined OSU’s staff in 2010 after spending 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Minnesota Duluth. While he was on staff, the team advanced to two NCAA

tournaments, including a Frozen Four appearance in 2004 and the 2009 WCHA playoff title. Rohlik also served as an assistant coach for three seasons at NebraskaOmaha from 1998-2000. Prior to that, he spent 1991 on the Wisconsin coaching staff. Like Osiecki, Rohlik is a Minnesota native and graduated from Wisconsin. He was a two-time captain for the Badgers’ hockey team, which won a national championship his senior year. Rohlik said he doesn’t know what his salary will be yet. “There’s been nothing like that right now at all,” Rohlik said. “Like I said, I’m just focusing on what my role is right now.” As of Tuesday afternoon, a description of the men’s hockey head coaching position was still available on OSU’s career website. The position’s description had not changed upon the announcement of Rohlik being named interim head coach.
