oSU first-year coach Urban Meyer claps before singing ‘carmen ohio’ with his team following the Buckeyes 29-15 victory against UaB Saturday. oSU has a 4-0 record for the 2012 season.

Great expectations

The OSU football team is 4-0, but many don’t think the Buckeyes are playing up to their potential.

FORGETTABLE 400TH WIN On-field mistakes overshadow milestone Ohio Stadium win

[ a+e ] PaT Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Ohio State football made Horseshoe history against the University of Alabama-Birmingham, but the accomplishment was overshadowed by the on-field proceedings. OSU’s 29-15 win against UAB, a contest that took place in the 90th season of play in Ohio Stadium, was the Buckeyes’ 400th victory on its storied home field. There were no balloons or on-field ceremonies following the program’s milestone victory. A short announcement rang out in the press box as media scurried down to the postgame press conference. There, first-year OSU coach Urban Meyer and his players tried to explain away the problems that surfaced during the win against the winless and unranked Blazers.

fullback Zach Boren from one, 12 and two yards out, respectively. Miller said he was concerned it took the offense so long to make an impact on the game. “We’re not coming out with enough energy,” Miller said. “Somebody’s got to get our energy to rise. Our mindset isn’t where it needs to be at the start of the game.” OSU wouldn’t score again until there were just more than five minutes to play in regulation. At that moment, Miller scurried into the south end zone on a 1-yard run to put the game out of UAB’s reach. Miller followed up his seventh touchdown run of the year with a two-point conversion. The Buckeyes’ defense didn’t allow an offensive touchdown in the game. The Blazer’s lone touchdown came after OSU redshirt senior punter Ben Buchanan was returned 20 yards by UAB sophomore receiver Nick Adams.

kriSTen MiTchell Campus editor mitchell.935@osu.edu Little more than a week after a campaign visit from President Barack Obama, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan are returning to the Buckeye state for a four-day campaign trip. A solo Romney is scheduled to make an appearance for what the campaign is calling a victory rally in Westerville, Ohio, on Wednesday. The event is scheduled for 8 a.m. at the Alum Creek Park Amphitheater, about 20 minutes away from Ohio State’s campus. The pair is scheduled to campaign together in Kettering on Tuesday, before Romney is scheduled to continue on to stops near Dayton, Columbus, Toledo and Cleveland on Tuesday and Wednesday. According to campaign information, Upper Arlington-born golfer and OSU alumnus Jack Nicklaus is scheduled to make an appearance at the event. Romney made his last stop in Ohio Sept. 14 where he attended a campaign rally at Lake Erie College in Painesville, and a fundraiser in Fox Springs Farm in Kirtland Hills. Ryan was in Ohio Sept. 12 for a campaign event in Owensville. The pair made their Ohio debut last month for a campaign rally in Powell, about 30 minutes away from campus. During the Aug. 25 morning event, they spoke on small business and the economy. Wednesday is set to be Romney’s first trip to Central Ohio since then. While Obama has made several trips to the swing

Numbers told the story of Saturday’s game — UAB outgained OSU in total offense, 403-347, collected more first downs, 22-20, and held the ball for 33:55 compared against 26:05 of possession for the hosts. The Blazers also led, 9-0, and held a lead for most of the first half. Meyer marked the occasion of OSU’s 400th all-time win at the ‘Shoe by saying his team has a long way to go on both sides of the ball. “The fact is we’re a great defense, which is painful to watch. Missed too many tackles today again,” Meyer said. “And then offense, just a couple of times we’re second and long, but we’re not a methodically dominating offense. I mean, we’re not a very good offense right now. So we have to get a lot better and fast.” Trailing in the second quarter, 9-0, the then-No. 16 Buckeyes exploded for 21 points in the final 6:31 of the first half. Scores came via touchdown runs from redshirt sophomore running back Rod Smith, sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller and senior

James Daniel Hughes isn’t necessarily improving, but his family is taking it day-by-day. Hughes was involved in the Sept. 5 accident on Woodruff Avenue. He was riding his bike when he was hit by a dump truck near a construction site. The first-year student was taken to Wexner Medical Center, where he remains in critical condition. Now more than two weeks since his accident, the Ohio State Police Department is still investigating the case, an investigation that makes the Hughes’ family lawyer uneasy. Steve Crandall, the Hughes’ lawyer, said Hughes has undergone several surgeries since the accident and is persevering, but wouldn’t say his condition is improving.

“I don’t know if you could use that word. Everyday that he makes it through obviously is a positive day,” Crandall said. “He’s still not out of the woods in terms of whether he’s going to live or whether he’s going to die, and I think they also don’t know what kind of function he’s going to have long term if he does survive.” Crandall said the surgeries have not been minor, some exceeding four or five hours. The case remains under investigation by University Police, but Crandall said he isn’t sure the university should be handling the case at all. “Obviously as my investigation unfolds, there’s going to be an issue of who’s responsible for having this happen to a student,” he said. “There may be a situation where OSU has responsibility, and I think it’s unwise to have your own campus police department field an investigation over an issue that may, you know, have some liability issues on the campus or the university itself.”

campus Cause of OSU water main break remains a mystery kristen mitchell Campus editor mitchell.935@osu.edu People following the evolving story surrounding last week’s water main break on Ohio State’s campus are still left with questions more than a week later. While the 2,000 evacuated students have all returned to their residence halls, Dave Isaacs, a Student Life spokesman, said in an email Friday afternoon the cause of break is still unknown, and the investigation surrounding will take some time. “I do not anticipate a quick answer to that question,� Isaacs said in an email. The students who were evacuated after a Sunday water main break

got to return to their rooms Wednesday after three nights, but were without some basic amenities like access to hot water, drinking water, heating or air conditioning in their rooms. Hot and drinkable water had returned to Park-Stradley hall, home to 1,200 students, by Friday afternoon. To handle the water issues, Molly Ranz Calhoun, associate vice president of Student Life, said Wednesday the university had purchased about 3,300 bottles of water and 400 gallon jugs to be handed out to residents at the residence hall’s front desk. Residents were advised to take showers at the RPAC until the water issue was fixed. The students were still without working heating and cooling systems as of Friday, which Calhoun said could take weeks to repair. The university is attempting to compensate students for the inconvenience of being without housing for three nights. Every resident of

Park-Stradley will have $90, or $30 per night, credited to their university account. It will cost the university about $108,000 to refund all 1,200 ParkStradley residents. About 2,000 total students were evacuated Sunday due to the water main break, including residents in Baker Hall East and West, who were permitted to return to their rooms Monday at 7 a.m. The Ohio Union was also evacuated Sunday night but reopened Monday at 7 a.m. Of the 2,000 evacuated students, only 150 to 200 students spent the first night evacuated, Sept. 16, in the RPAC. Others stayed with friends and family instead. Park-Stradley opened Fall Semester after being closed for a year as part of a $171 million South Campus renovation project. The building was occupied for about a month before the water main break.

More than 80 Ohioans plagued with West Nile Virus this year Thomas doohan Lantern reporter doohan.4@osu.edu As the West Nile Virus threatens Ohio this year, Columbus is fighting hard to keep the culprits at bay. Culex mosquitoes are one variety of mosquito that is responsible for infecting humans with the West Nile Virus, the virus responsible for killing Hamilton County’s Richard Wesp Sept. 18. Jose Rodriguez, director of communications for Columbus Public Health, said this summer was very unusual. It was dry and Culex mosquitoes thrive in dry summers, which is why this summer presented the greatest West Nile Virus threat since 2002. “Even though we had a lot less mosquitoes, we had a lot more infected mosquitoes,� Rodriguez said. Columbus Public Health captures mosquitoes to understand the community’s risk. Out of all the Culex mosquitoes captured, one out of every 80 was infected. According to the Columbus Public Health website, one of every 150 people bitten by an infected mosquito is expected to be severely ill, while others might experience flu-like symptoms or none at all. According to an Aug. 20 Columbus Dispatch report, a woman in Franklin County was diagnosed with West Nile Virus last month, the first of the season in Franklin County, but the 16th in the state. Since then, at least five other human cases have been documented in Franklin County, and the total number of cases in Ohio has jumped to more than 80, according to a Sept. 19 Columbus Dispatch report. As a result of the elevated risk of the West Nile Virus this year, Columbus Public Health has been taking action. It prevents mosquitoes with five steps. First, Columbus Public Health traps mosquitoes to gather data about the types, quantities and infection level of the insect’s population. Secondly, they locate breeding sources, or standing bodies of water.

This step leads into the third, which is larviciding, a process involving the treatment standing bodies of water in order to kill mosquito larvae. Rodriguez emphasized that chemicals used to treat standing water and kill mosquitoes are used only as prescribed. He explained the fourth step to prevent mosquitoes and the West Nile Virus is simply education. “We can spray, or we can larvicide until the mosquitoes come home,� Rodriguez said. “But it is the resident that really has the greatest ability to control mosquitoes in their own neighborhood.� This control amounts to ridding one’s property of standing bodies of water. Rodriguez said old tires, bird baths and rain barrels are important things to empty frequently. Avoiding areas where mosquitoes are prevalent is helpful, too. The fifth and final step in protecting the community from the arthropod menace is spraying. “That is the last thing that we do, but it is the one that gets the most attention,� Rodriguez said. “It is the one that people talk about the most.� Rodriguez said this step is really only used to kill mature mosquitoes. The other steps are preventative methods to kill and prevent the maturation of mosquito larvae. He said spraying is based on a formula. The Columbus Public Health looks at how many mosquitoes are in an area and how many are infected. Spray is based upon the risk calculated. This system, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can be bypassed if desired. Rodriguez said those who make what Columbus Public Health calls a “no fog� request represent a small part of the community. “No-fog� requests come from citizens speaking out against mosquito spraying in the city. “It is a very small group of people, but important group of people,� Rodriguez said. However, the requests Columbus Public Health usually obliges have not been honored since the first human case in Columbus this year. Rodriguez said the health commissioner made the decision not to honor the “no fog� in order to protect the public health. Some OSU students said they felt protected from dangerous mosquitoes in Columbus.

There have been at least 6 documented cases of West Nile Virus in Franklin County this year.

“I find it a little alarming, but I do not think I will be putting mosquito repellent on every day,� said Connor Casey, a first-year in business. But Casey did not know about the death on Sept. 18. While he said he was concerned, he has faith in Columbus Public Health. “Obviously if they could do anything they would,� Casey said. Casey called for more education and awareness about West Nile Virus. He was not the only one. “You always hear about flu shots but never hear anything about West Nile,� said Faith Carver, a second-year in chemical engineering. She said she will be using insect repellent to lower her risk. “It is a good lifestyle choice, especially now,� Carver said. As the mosquito season is ending in Columbus, there is good news. “We did not have anyone die in our region,� Rodriguez said. “And the weather is changing.�

There was seldom a mention of OSU’s 400th Ohio Stadium victory — Nearly all of the focus on OSU was with regard to its perceived inadequacies. OSU players and coaches reinforced this with answers to questions about what went wrong on Saturday rather than noting the historic victory they had won. Meyer, the owner of four of the Buckeyes’ 400 all-time wins at that Horseshoe, said his team needs to improve. “It’s glaringly obvious we’ve got to get a lot better or we won’t win next week,� he said. “I think we seem like a very passive team... We have to be better in all three phases.� The Buckeyes will take on Michigan State Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.

Meyer from 1A UAB sophomore kicker Ty Long provided his team’s other nine points as he connected on 3-of-4 field goal tries. OSU kept UAB’s offense out of the end zone, but the Blazers still had their way with the Buckeyes defense, mounting seven drives that lasted at least 8:58. Buckeyes junior defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins said penalties helped keep UAB drives alive. OSU had seven penalties for 60 yards in the contest. “As a team, we want to keep it on, keep our foot on the pedal and just go,� Hankins said. “But sometimes, you know, stuff doesn’t go our way. You just got to react and adapt and go out there and play.�

Romney from 1A “If Ohio is doing well, then America is gonna do well,� he said. Romney’s vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan made a visit to the ‘Shoe during the Sept. 1 Buckeyes kickoff game against the Miami Redhawks, his alma mater. He attended a private tailgate party and at least some of the football game. In an interview with The Lantern, OSU President E. Gordon Gee said he went to visit Ryan during the game, but the vice presidential nominee did not sit with him in his private box. According to a recent Gallup poll 48 percent of

Hughes from 1A used to handling these things on a day-to-day basis would have been better,� he said. OSU spokesman Jim Lynch reiterated in a Sunday email that the investigation was ongoing, and more information would be provided after the investigation is concluded. University Police Chief Paul Denton said they are looking for more witnesses, a practice he called “fairly routine.� “It’s standard for an investigation of this scope, we want to be absolutely certain,� Denton said. “You would expect there to be a large number of witnesses who we may have not gotten a chance to talk with.� He said the ongoing investigation “takes longer obviously because of the seriousness of it.� Denton encouraged anyone with information to contact the police department, even if they don’t think it is significant. Crandall is also looking for witnesses to the accident, and said Hughes’ friends have been trying to connect with witnesses via social media. He isn’t sure when the investigation will be done.

the overall national population supports Obama, while 46 percent supports Romney. In swing states, those numbers remain the same. Gallup did not post recent numbers specific to Ohio voters, but according to a Fox News poll on Politico, 49 percent of Ohioans support Obama and 42 percent support Romney, with the remaining percent recording they didn’t know, aren’t planning to vote, or answered ‘Other.’ With such a close election, Ohio as a swing state has become a battleground for each of the candidates. In the 2008 election, Obama carried all 12 swing states, and no Republican candidate has ever won a presidential election without carrying Ohio.

“They are not done with their investigation yet, so I don’t have a lot of information to give to the family yet to tell them exactly what happened,� Crandall said. Crandall said students and parents alike shouldn’t have to worry about an incident like this happening on a college campus. “Whether you are walking, whether you are biking, you know, whether you were skipping, there shouldn’t be a way that anyone on campus can get into a position, should be allowed to get into a position, where a dump truck runs over you,� Crandall said. Hughes’ accident happened among a string of on- and off-campus bike and pedestrian accidents, but Denton said other bicycle accidents on campus are not being investigated further and have all been closed or are in the process of closing. OSU President E. Gordon Gee formed a safety task force earlier this month. It is expected to make safety recommendations to the university Oct. 1. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of the story

If Ohio State football plays like it did against Alabama-Birmingham, it won’t have a chance against Michigan State. That’s how Buckeyes players and coaches said they felt after defeating UAB. “We have to play better,” said senior linebacker Etienne Sabino following OSU’s 29-15 win against the Blazers Saturday. The Buckeyes, who were favored by more than 35 points coming into the game, trailed the Blazers until late in the second quarter and were only up by a single score with less than six minutes to play in the fourth. The performance “disappointed” coach Urban Meyer. “I really had confidence this was going to be a Ohio State-looking team,” Meyer said after the game. “And it wasn’t.” Thanks to a 21-point scoring outburst during a six-minute span in the second quarter, OSU won the game to bring its record to 4-0, but the Buckeyes said their performances haven’t been as unblemished as their record. OSU escaped California in week three thanks to a 72-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller to sophomore receiver Devin Smith and three missed field goals from the Bears. The previous week Central Florida gave OSU all it could handle before OSU eventually pulled away for a 15-point win. But now the non-conference schedule is over, and with Big Ten season starting next week, OSU likely will not face another team it’s predicted to beat by five scores. “It’s glaringly obvious we’ve got to get a lot better or we won’t win next week,” Meyer said. “I think we seem like a very passive team.” Fans can look the other way when one game turns out to be closer than is expected, but the

OSU football coach Urban Meyer takes to the Ohio Stadium field for the Buckeyes’ Sept. 22 game against UAB. OSU won, 29-15. UAB game makes for three straight weeks that the Buckeyes have had to battle for the victory against teams they were expected to easily handle. After a three-and-out early in the fourth quarter Saturday, audible boos descended onto the field from the Buckeye faithful. “I don’t think anybody’s pleased right now,” said wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown. “I mean we’re winning games right now, but we’re not winning like we’re supposed to.” What’s the problem? Meyer said a lot of it comes down to inexperience. “It’s not lack of talent, it’s maybe lack of some experience,” Meyer said. “But we have a depth issue here at Ohio State right now. Severe.” That problem was perhaps never more apparent than Saturday when senior Ben Buchanan’s punt was blocked in the first quarter and returned to give UAB a 6-0 lead. Meyer said injuries forced him

to shuffle his punt personnel and a true freshman missed his blocking assignment. The situation is nothing new to Meyer, though. OSU’s first-year coach said despite the disappointments, he still thinks the team can reach its potential. “I have a very clear understanding of where we’re at,” Meyer said. “Disappointed, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love the guys. I think they’re working their tails off. We’ve just gotta keep grinding. No, absolutely I’ve been through some teams that you thought would be better at this point of the season.” The Buckeyes will get a test against the Spartans Saturday in East Lansing, Mich., and said the next week of practice will go a long way in determining the outcome. “We know that we’re not playing up to our potential yet,” Brown said. “We realize that especially after a wake-up call like (the UAB game) we got to come in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and practice harder than we ever have.”

On a day when Ohio State was as inconsistent with the ball as it has been all season, one aspect of the Buckeyes’ offense was fairly steady: the running game. Led by senior tailback Jordan Hall, who recorded his first-career 100-yard rushing game, OSU ran for 204 yards against Alabama Birmingham Saturday. All of the Buckeyes’ four touchdowns came on the ground, with sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller scoring twice and senior fullback Zach Boren and redshirt sophomore running back Rod Smith each barreling into the end zone once. The OSU offense needed its rushing attack desperately Saturday, with the Buckeyes wide receivers dropping multiple passes and Miller struggling to hit his outside playmakers when they were open. OSU averaged 5.5 yards per carry in its 29-15 victory against UAB, with Miller either handing the ball off or taking off on his own nearly every time the Buckeyes entered the red zone. It’s been that way in the majority of OSU’s four games, but Saturday, the Buckeyes were as balanced as they’ve been on the ground thus far this season. Hall ran the ball 17 times for a career-best 105 yards, Smith totaled 24 yards on six carries and Miller, who had 56 rushing attempts on the season coming into Saturday’s contest, had a season-low 11 attempts Saturday. OSU first-year coach Urban Meyer said spreading out the carries was in the game plan, but added that he isn’t going to limit Miller’s running ability just because the sophomore is the quarterback. “We were very conscious of it,” Meyer said. “I’m exhausted talking about it, how many hits (Miller) takes and all that. He’s going to play quarterback in a spread offense, and we’re going to do what we’re going to go do to win a game. We’re not good enough to start worrying about (Miller’s carries).” Hall spearheaded the Buckeyes’ rushing attack, but OSU went to

UAB freshman cornerback Vashon Landers (10) pursues OSU redshirt sophomore running back Rod Smith (2) during a Sept. 22 game at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 29-15. Smith when they needed a score in the second quarter, trailing UAB, 9-0, and the redshirt sophomore delivered. OSU gave Smith the ball on threestraight plays, and Smith answered the call with rushes of three yards, 12 yards and one yard, the last of which capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a touchdown. That was by design, not happenstance, according to Meyer. “He’s earned it. That was not a hit or miss and boy I hope this works out. He’s done it in practice. And he’s earned that right. So there’s no reluctancy at all to put him there,” Meyer said. For the 6-foot-3, 228-pound backup who came out of high school drawing comparisons to former OSU running back and Heisman trophy winner Eddie George, Saturday’s performance was a long time coming. It was only six carries, but to Smith, it wasn’t about the number of times he got the ball, it was when and

where he got the ball that mattered. Nearly all of Smith’s carries came close to the goal line in meaningful situations, and for a player that has had ball security issues in the past, it was a major step in the right direction. “It just felt good. Finally the coaches are trusting me,” Smith said. “They’ve seen my work in practice, watching me work hard. Just on a daily basis me working hard in practice, I feel like I gained a lot of trust.” There’s been no room for error for Smith or any of OSU’s running backs this season, with four players battling for playing time. No one’s job is safe, according to Smith, and it shows in practice. “It’s intense. Every day, we’re out there competing, like, we’re trying to see who can be the best back of the day,” Smith said. “You can’t feel comfortable like you have your spot. You always have to go out there and compete in practice.”

As good as Smith and his fellow backs were Saturday, the ceiling for OSU’s running game production is even higher than the output it had against the Blazers. “We ran the ball well, but we’ve got to execute better still. I felt like we should have put more points up (Saturday),” Hall said. Redshirt junior running back Carlos Hyde is expected to play Saturday against No. 20-ranked Michigan State, giving the Buckeyes four running backs capable of carrying the ball with success. Hall will likely get the start, with Hyde and Smith relieving him when necessary, and freshman Bri’onte Dunn waiting in the wings. “That day will be nice,” OSU co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said. No. 14-ranked OSU is scheduled to play MSU Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in East Lansing, Mich.

For an entire generation of college students, there might be no source of news as widely-consumed as “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” It also being a comedy show could factor into that. Regardless, Saturday night Ohio State students were given a chance to peek behind the curtain. “The Daily Show Live: Indecision Tour 2012” stopped by the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom for an evening of stand-up comedy and conversation with some of the minds behind the show. The performers included “The Daily Show” co-executive producer Adam Lowitt, regular correspondent Al Madrigal and occasional contributor John Hodgman. While Stewart himself was not in attendance, he provided a pre-taped video introduction in which he described what the audience was going to see throughout the night. This was followed by stand-up sets by Lowitt, Madrigal and Hodgman and later the three took the stage for a brief Q-and-A session. During the stand-up portion of the performance, Lowitt told a story about getting his phone stolen in New York City, where he lives, and actually getting it back after chasing the guy down, who gave the phone back and said, “My bad,” then walked away. He also joked about the flooding in Park-Stradley Hall that displaced 1,200 students last week, saying the residents must have known they chose the right college when they move in and then a week later their dorms flood. Madrigal focused more on his family, especially his children throughout his set. He talked about how he unwittingly turned his son, Lorenzo, into a sassy back-talker after teaching him how to respond to a girl who made fun of his art, and shared his experience bonding with a day laborer. Hodgman focused on sports, making several jokes about football and poking fun at himself for not knowing much about sports, or as he called them, “sport.” At one point Hodgman invited five volunteers from the audience onstage to help him read

Correspondents from ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ visited OSU Sept. 22 as part of an OUAB-sponsored event. a script for a fake reality show pilot, the premise of which was to turn people with other problems into hoarders. Jake Richelmann, a first-year in chemical engineering, was thrilled at the opportunity to see the correspondents perform in person. “I had never really been to a stand-up show before,” Richelmann said. “I’m a very big fan of ‘The Daily Show,’ and it really was cool. I’m a little starstruck, I’ve got to say.” The show was generally well-received by the audience, but during Madrigal’s set an audience member began to yell out while he was performing. Madrigal was able to calmly quiet the heckler and said, “there is clearly something wrong with that guy,” which evoked laughter from the audience, but Madrigal seemed to be rattled. He had to check his notebook to remember what he planned to talk about following the heckler’s outburst. “The Daily Show” itself was not explicitly discussed during the stand-up portion of the show, and curious fans had to wait until the Q-and-A session to hear more about the making of it. When asked how the writers and producers are able to come up with so many news clips to comment on, Lowitt said it was the result of a lot

of staffers spending a lot of time staring at the television. “We have a lot of people,” Lowitt said. “We have about 100 people on the staff of ‘The Daily Show.’ Everyone has a TV on. It rots our brains on a daily basis. We have people watching Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, all the major networks all day long.” It was Hodgman who was asked most of the questions, and many of them pertained to his work outside of “The Daily Show.” He famously portrayed the PC alongside Justin Long’s Mac in a long-running Apple advertising campaign, and he was asked about what went in to getting that role. “It was maybe two months after I started on ‘The Daily Show,’” Hodgman said. “It was just as much a surprise to me as it was to anyone.” Students seemed pretty satisfied with the event. “It was a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be,” said Libby Brigner, a first-year in zoology. Bringer’s friend Robert Morris, a first-year in biochemistry, was also pleased. “It was dope,” Morris said. “Pretty dope. I’ve been watching the show since I was like 15.” “The Daily Show Live: Indecision Tour 2012” was brought to students by the Ohio Union Activities Board.

Lindsey Poole Lantern reporter poole.130@osu.edu Jack Hanna’s TV show “Into the Wild” was 7-year-old Jake Berner’s favorite show to watch in the mornings while receiving radiation treatments for brain cancer. The day of his final treatment, he met Hanna one-on-one. In celebration of his final treatment, his parents Lynee and John Berner, a 1991 OSU alumnus, of Delaware, Ohio, brought Jake Berner and his siblings Nick Berner, 3, and Chloe Berner, 2, to the Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event “Into the Wild with Jack Hanna” Thursday. The family discovered Jake Berner’s brain cancer, more formally called ependymoma, June 27. He underwent a 13 1/2-hour procedure at Nationwide Children’s Hospital July 6 to have a tumor removed and spent eight days in the hospital after the surgery, then soon after began 30 radiation treatments at Ohio State’s James Cancer Hospital and Solove Reseach Institute, where he started watching “Into the Wild.” To go from sitting in a hospital bed watching Hanna on TV, to watching him live from the front row of the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom took some help from family friends.

Kaitie Peterson, a third-year in animal sciences, picked up tickets for her and her mother, Heidi Peterson, to see Hanna live. Heidi Peterson, who is Lynee Berner’s boss, had the idea to bring Jake Berner and his family to the event as a surprise and celebration of his last radiation treatment. “We thought it would be a great surprise for Jake, and we were pretty lucky to have a chance to meet (Hanna) before the show,”

Lynee Berner said. “He would watch the show every morning before his radiation treatment and we’ve been to the zoo countless times.” Kaitie Peterson asked a few friends to give their student tickets to the Berner family so everyone could see the show. “My mom called me up and asked if there was any way to get extra tickets. So I went to a couple of buddies and asked them for theirs,”

7-year-old Jake Berner attended the OUAB-sponsored event ‘Into the Wild with Jack Hanna’ Sept. 20 in celebration of receiving his last radiation treatment for endymoma.

Kaitie Peterson said. “I knew they weren’t going and they were happy to help out.” Kaitie and her friends gathered up enough tickets, but the family did not actually need them, as they ended up getting reserved seats in the front row, which included a one-on-one session with Hanna. Heidi Peterson sent emails to OUAB explaining Jake’s situation. OUAB representatives contacted the Petersons and Berners and set up a meet-and-greet, where the families got to take pictures and pet a penguin before the show. “I got to pet a penguin. It was really cool. I got my picture taken, too,” Jake Berner said. His parents said he was a little shy and too distracted by the excitement of the evening to really focus on talking, but the families made it clear how meaningful the night was to everyone. “We had no idea this would happen. My mom and Lynee were so excited about the meet-and-greet and what this would mean to Jake that they both started to cry,” Kaitie Peterson said. “It’s amazing to think that such a big university could take a big event like this and do something so personal for one kid.” Jake Berner is in remission. Sunday, Lynee Berner said, she planned to hold a party to celebrate the end of her son’s treatments.

More animated than Dr. Pepper and more worldly than Dr. Love, Dr. Dog is giving its fans something new to obsess over. The Philadelphia-based indie rock band is scheduled to perform 8 p.m. Monday at Newport Music Hall to promote its February-released album “Be the Void.” This is the first album for the band since its “Shame, Shame” release in 2010. Lead vocalist and guitarist Scott McMicken said the best part about playing new songs to the fans is to see them singing along. “Looking out and seeing people sing the new (songs) along with the old ones ties the show together real nice,” McMicken said. Shows were not always that smooth, however. When the band first started out in

1999, the members hoped for a good start to the days they opened for bigger names. “It was very much pragmatic,” McMicken said. “Get there, first and foremost, hope your s--- works and play and get out of the way.” Since the band has been together for more than a decade, McMicken said the members are more aware of what the others are doing and that they have grown together as a group. “At times, it (touring) can be overwhelming,” McMicken said. “Some days you just don’t have the energy (to perform). It’s the strength and support of the band that helps to revitalize itself on the bad days.” He added things are better on this tour than they ever have been. The band is constantly coming up with new ways to keep its music fresh as well as keep its live show exciting and challenged, McMicken said. Part of that is finding new ways to inspire and to be inspired. McMicken said when he writes, he

That is how, after years together, Dr. Dog is still touring, bringing new music to its fans all over the world. “If you stopped doing what it is you like to do, there’s no point at all for you to be doing it,” McMicken said. Rachel Rustemeyer, a third-year in French, said that she likes the band’s old ’70s, yet modern sound. There was a time when Dr. Dog was all she listened to, she said.

studentvoice Starbucks carves out top rank among pumpkin lattes oller Reporter

Fall is my all-time favorite season. I swear once you get past the city smog and car exhaust the air smells like cinnamon. Corn mazes, apple cider and absolutely anything emily tara pumpkintara.3@osu.edu flavored make these next few months that are colored with red and orange leaves well worth the wait every single year. Among those seasonal necessities, of course, is the beloved pumpkin spice latte, or PSL as some avid drinkers might refer to the spicy, creamy, caffeinated beverage. For those who have somehow managed to get through the crisp autumn months without experiencing this heavenly beverage, it is in essence an espresso drink. Espresso (concentrated, bold, sweet coffee) is mixed with steamed and then frothed milk and complemented with pumpkin flavored syrup. In some establishments, the pumpkin syrup is homemade from actual pumpkin puree. As fall descends upon us, I wanted to sample all of the pumpkin spice lattes in an attempt to find the best one. Most sane people would do this over the course of a week or two, or at least a few days. But I enlisted two of my roommates, and we embarked on a two-hour tour of every area coffee shop we could think of. I made a chart and created the “perfect pumpkin rating system� which is 100 percent subjective. Each latte was rated on a scale of one to five, one being not enjoyable and five being excellent, in four categories: pumpkin flavor, spice, price and presentation. Please note that I am by no means a real expert (although the mass amounts of caffeine I regularly consume make me darn close). So what started out as a crazy idea turned into an obnoxious, fun, caffeinated and at times disheartening venture in pursuit of the perfect pumpkin latte. First place I went to, the king of all coffee, hailing from the far west reaches of Seattle: Starbucks. Starbucks’ pumpkin drink is almost an icon of the season. It appears that fall is actually here when the chalkboard menus behind the greenaproned baristas are illustrated with fall’s seasonal drink menu. As a gold card holder, I really wanted to be proven wrong in my epic love and devotion for the coffee powerhouse, and while it did not

Emily tara / Oller reporter

Pumpkin spice lattes are icons of fall. Starbucks’ PSL was rated as the best among most Columbus-area coffee shops. receive perfect scores on my “perfect pumpkin rating scale,� I have deemed it the No. 1 choice for a classic PSL. At 31 cents per ounce, the latte got a four on pumpkin flavor, a four on spice level and a three on presentation. Coming in second was Cup O’ Joe. It is one of the coffee shops that produces its own pumpkin syrup, which gave it a four on the pumpkin flavor scale. It didn’t beat the mighty Starbucks because it only received a two on the spice level, but it did receive a five on its presentation. It was also the only place that offered to put whipped cream on the top, and was pleasantly dusted with flecks of cinnamon. At 29 cents per ounce, it was a slightly better deal monetarily as well. To round off the top three we have Crimson Cup. Yes, you read that correctly. The official coffee of the Ohio State University produced what might be the most delicious concoction to appease even the biggest sweet tooth. That being said, you might ask why it was not granted the No. 1 position in

PSL competition. The biggest reason was that it was not just pumpkin; it was pumpkin caramel pecan, which is delicious but did not adequately fit the bill for the “perfect pumpkin latte.â€? Also, it was just a little too sweet for everyday drinking. The Crimson Cup latte received a five on pumpkin flavor, a two on spice and a four on presentation. At 23 cents per ounce, it also definitely fits the bill for the budget-conscious college student. In two hours, my roommates and I sampled eight pumpkin lattes. I must say that I will never recommend that to anyone. But after such in-depth searching, I can fill you in on the five places that I, in a subjective manner, do not recommend ever going. Panera Bread and Brennen’s CafĂŠ each produced a beverage that resembled something to the likes of warm milk. On an unrelated sidenote, the pumpkin pie bagel at Panera was superb and did help make up for the subpar latte experience. Surprisingly, Caribou Coffee and Stauf’s in Grandview also did not deliver drinks that any of us really enjoyed. This

was surprising on two counts: I usually do enjoy Caribou’s coffee and Stauf’s is the same company as Cup O’ Joe, which means it has the same pumpkin syrup recipe. Finally, at the bottom of the list, we have lowly Tim Horton’s. I must say that at 19 cents per ounce it was a steal, but it did not taste like pumpkin. It actually resembled chocolate, which might not be a total turnoff to some, but clearly disqualified it from my mighty pursuit. Fall has so much to offer and so many fun activities that can be planned. Apple picking, cider making, bonfires and leaf crunching are among my all-time favorites. And after consuming nearly 100 ounces of store-bought pumpkin latte creations, I would also add, “latte making� to the list. That’s it folks. While you can get a tasty, warm and pumpkin-loaded beverage from any of these area establishments, I must full-heartedly recommend making your own at home. Buy some canned pumpkin, milk and espresso and look up a delicious recipe. Happy sipping!

Wearing white after Labor Day is often a no-no with fashionistas, but some want to break tradition.

Good deals on white jeans undress legend lantern Columnist

When I would get ready for school in September back in my elementary days, my mother would always say to me, “No white after Labor Day,� to which I would answer, “What gives, Mother?� And alex casola yes, I said that as casola.3@osu.edu a child. As I got older and started getting dressed for school without parental consent, I’ve always wondered, why can I not wear white after Labor Day? There is no law anywhere that says it’s illegal and if there really is a law, then call me a criminal. From what I’ve heard through the grapevine and from little birdies, the whole “white after Labor Day� conspiracy has many different histories. I’ve heard that the white clothing has the tendency to contrast with peoples’ skin tones making them look completely palefaced and unattractive, or that it does the complete opposite and blends their bodies in with the winter snow. I’ve also heard that the nobility from medieval

times, or one of those ancient centuries, refused to wear white because that’s the color the peasants wore in the winter. I guess their worlds would have completely come to an end if they were to ever succumb to peasant fashion, although I thought the peasants had a marvelous sense of style. The last, and probably my favorite reason, was that a bunch of people at “Vogue� magazine just told everyone not to wear white in winter with no explanation. The best part about this is that people actually listened. It’s mind-boggling, really. If you are one of those brave fashionistas that give up white clothing every early September, then I applaud you for sticking with the nonexistent rules of fashion. All I’m wondering now is when can you start wearing it again? Is it in spring? Easter? The first full moon of the third month of every other year? Too confusing for us simple folk. However, I have to apologize to 13th century nobility and the fashion editors at “Vogue� because I am going to wear white after Labor Day and no one can stop me. Especially since Columbus is still doing that bipolar weather thing where it’s really hot in the middle of the day. I’m going to continue to wear my summer clothes until I freeze. So everyone, join me, and together we can break this conspiracy once and for all, because I want to continue getting my money’s worth out of the white jeans I bought last week.

Be fair, register to vote in your home state Letter to the editor Two days ago, as I walked up to the Ohio Union for lunch, I was approached by a young man asking about my voter registration. This is nothing new on a university campus, of course. In the brief discussion we had about my registration, he reasoned that I should register in Ohio instead of my home state of West Virginia. Why? Because Ohio has more electoral votes in the general presidential election, and therefore my vote would mean more. This last sentiment bothers me greatly. After all, if we believe in a democratic America, one in which everyone has an equal voice, then why should I want my vote to be worth more than someone else’s? Am I that much better informed or more intelligent simply by virtue of now residing in Ohio? Were I in New York, would I become even better qualified to help select the president for the next four years? And even if I were better qualified in some way,

does it matter? Does a poorly-educated person not deserve his or her voice in our society? This concept of trying to get the most bang for my voting buck defies the spirit of democracy. Further, what do I know about Ohio’s politics? I just moved here in August. And while that has little to do with my choice on my presidential ballot, it affects all the other decisions a voter is asked to make. Do we really want to encourage people to vote in Ohio when they might know little or nothing about this fine state and its best interests? This focus on the big ticket, to the exclusion of the remainder of the ballot, could do Columbus and Ohio a lot more harm than good. No, I will not be registering in Ohio this year. Maybe next year. But I cannot do it in good conscience yet, mostly because I still believe in the United States of America, and in the ideals of a democratic state and society.
