The Wichita State Shockers ended the OSU basketball team’s season Saturday.

LOS ANGELES — The comeback fell short and so did Ohio State.

After desperately whittling down a 20-point lead in the waning minutes of its Elite 8 game against Wichita State, an exceptionally poor half of basketball ultimately and abruptly ended an 11-game winning streak and the Buckeyes’ season.

With its dreams of returning to the Final Four left to fester in the Los Angeles sun, No. 2-seeded OSU watched its NCAA Tournament run collapse as the Shockers toppled them, 70-66, at the Staples Center Saturday evening.

No. 9 Wichita State jumped OSU early, laying the foundation for a steady cushion that would force coach Thad Matta’s squad to play from behind for nearly 34 of 40 minutes of play.

OSU cut the lead to just three points with 2:49 to play, but it was too little too late for a Buckeyes squad that appeared overwhelmed from the game’s start.

In a dizzyingly woeful outing, OSU shot 31 percent and, more miserably, connected on just 5 of 25 tries from 3-point range in its first loss since Feb. 17.

“I thought we had some pretty good looks — they

Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee “can’t even remember” what the South Oval looks like before construction but said he has no regrets about the multi-million dollar geothermal wells construction project that has closed most of it since Fall Quarter 2010.

During an interview with The Lantern editorial staff on March 25, Gee pointed out the snow on the ground as an example of why becoming a “carbon neutral” university is an important goal of his in a time where climate change is on the forefront of many people’s minds.

“Our goal is … to be carbon neutral, (to be) environmentally conscience. That’s the reason we’re digging all of these geothermal wells,” Gee said. “I do believe that the South Oval will recover one of these days.

It’s been so long, I can’t even remember what it looks like.”

The project is expected to be completed in October. In November 2011, the project was at least $200,000 over budget after letting Maryland-based Chesapeake Geosystems, Inc. out of its contract.

OSU President E. Gordon Gee said in an interview he has no regrets about the South Campus geothermal well project on the South Oval. intended to use geothermal energy to heat and cool South Campus was delayed after ineffective drilling methods prompted the university to part ways with Chesapeake Geosystems, Inc. The geothermal wells are expected to produce energy from the internal heat of the earth, which will be used to heat buildings on South Campus.

The Office of Energy and Environment at OSU played a role in the decision to drill the wells,

said OEE spokeswoman Gina Langen.

“We’re the ones saying that, economically this would be a really good thing. Not only economically, but environmentally, sustainability wise — the right decision for Ohio State,” Langen said.

The construction is scheduled to wrap up in fall 2013, and some students said they are happy to be able to enjoy the South Oval once again.

“It was such a pretty area, so it’s so sad that it was fenced off and destroyed like that, but I’m excited to see what it will look like when it’s done,” said Ashlee Slyman, a thirdyear in psychology.

For many students, the South Oval has been unusable for most of their years on campus.

“I remember the South Oval not having construction on it during a very brief time during my freshman year, and then, ever since then, it’s been a huge mess, in the way when I’m trying to walk to class,” Slyman said. “(However, the wells are) a good investment for the long run that needed to be done.”

OSU is also making investments in alternative energy in other areas.

“We’re buying wind from anyone that will sell it to us, and now about 25 to 30 percent of our electricity is provided by wind power,” Gee said.

The university announced Oct. 1 that it signed a letter of intent with Iberdrola Renewables to purchase 50 megawatts of wind energy capacity.

According to Clean Energy Authority, a website that provides energy information, one megawatt is equivalent to the energy produced by 10 automobile engines.

A sign is held up during a sit-in at the Ohio Union April 6, 2012 to combat racism on campus.

One year after the words “Long Live Zimmerman” were painted on the walls of Hale Hall, Ohio State’s black cultural center, some student groups are acknowledging the week with a campaign against racism on campus.

The OSU student organization The Network will host its first “No Place for Hate Week” beginning Monday to raise student awareness about racism on campus. The week will consist of various events designed by a handful of student organizations collaborating with The Network to facilitate an end to discrimination at OSU. Suparna Reddy, The Network’s director of diversity and president of the South Asian Student Association, came up with the idea for a “No Place for Hate Week” after hate crimes occurred on campus last April. These hate crimes followed the Feb. 26, 2012, shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman.

The walls of Hale Hall, which is home to the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, were vandalized with the

words “Long Live Zimmerman” late April 4 or early in the morning April 5. The incident drew national attention and highlighted race relations on OSU’s campus.

Reddy, a third-year in political science and economics, said the goal of the week is to raise awareness of “hidden” discrimination on campus and get the OSU community to pledge to fight hate and racism.

“It’s not just about standing up for yourself,” Reddy said. “It’s our job to make Ohio State’s environment a welcoming one and make people feel safe about who they are.”

An electronic “No Hate Pledge” can be found at The Network’s website, but students can also sign pledges all week at the Ohio Union.

She said she wants people to recognize that while it is human nature to have biases, the ability to analyze and assess these biases is also human nature.

One event going on this week will be a fashion show organized by the student group Better Together Movement.

campus Dangerous, deadly sink holes not likely in Columbus elizabeth garabedian Lantern reporter garabedian.3@osu.edu Sinkhole disasters have been making headlines in the U.S., but Ohio State professor Scott Bair said they are unlikely to happen in the Buckeye state.

Earlier this year a 50- to 60-foot-deep sinkhole opened up in the floor of a home in Seffner, Fla., near Tampa, swallowing a man who was unable to be recovered by emergency services, according to NBC News. “(A sinkhole) is unlikely to happen in Ohio compared to Florida,” said Bair, an earth sciences professor with a specialty in hydrgeology, the branch of geology that deals with the occurrence, distribution and effect of ground water. “Unlike Florida, where the near-surface limestone is not highly cemented or compacted, which leads to sinkhole formation, the near-surface limestone in Ohio are many millions of years older. They are highly cemented and very compacted and have become highly cemented and very compacted over geological time.”

As many as 150 sinkholes are reported in Florida every year, according to NBC News.

Bair spoke of sinkholes and their causes for about a dozen students at a Wednesday Geology Club meeting at Mendenhall Lab. The meeting primarily focused on karst, a landscape over a carbonate bedrock like limestone that has been eroded, and caves. Bair also discussed

sinkholes because some of the students were planning a cave exploration trip for the weekend, and caves are a “middle piece” between a sinkhole and a spring.

“Sinkholes within the hydrologic system represent the entry point of surface waters into the ground water flow system,” Bair said. “And springs represent some of the same water issuing back out to rivers and creeks. Caves are the middle piece where the water flows preferentially (between the sinkhole and spring) along dissolved opening caves, in the rock.”

Bair defined a sinkhole as “a barrier at the Earth’s surface where the soil and rock have collapsed downward due to the dissolution of the underlying rock ... The dissolution is caused by the acidity of rainwater with the acidity of organic materials in soil and it is able to dissolve calcium from carbonate ions in limestone.”

Bair said places like the Florida Panhandle, the Georgia-Florida area, and parts of Texas are more likely to have a sinkhole disaster.

Geology Club president Shannon Hibbard, a third-year in geological sciences, said she does not worry about sinkholes in Ohio.

“I’m from Florida, so compared to there, I never worry about sinkholes out here,” she said.

When asked if there were any other natural disasters students should be aware of, Bair said for the most part Ohioans have little to worry about.

“Ohio’s geologically a pretty safe place to live,” Bair said.

New Ohio BOE superintendent has support at OSU caroline keyes Lantern reporter keyes.64@osu.edu The Ohio Board of Education named Richard Ross as the new state superintendent of public instruction, and some at Ohio State approve of the choice.

Herb Asher, senior vice president for government affairs and counselor to OSU President E. Gordon Gee, called the board’s decision an “excellent appointment.”

“Many of us at the university have had the opportunity to talk with him, meet with him on a variety of issues, so I personally think he is just a superb selection,” Asher said.

Ross was sworn into office on March 25 as Ohio’s 37th state superintendent after a 10 to 6 vote by the Ohio Board of Education, making him the fourth superintendent in two years. The board’s president Debe Terhar conducted the ceremony at Reynoldsburg City High School.

Ross, 63, previously served as Gov. John Kasich’s chief education adviser, as well as the superintendent of the Reynoldsburg City Schools for 20 years until he retired from the position in 2008.

As a member of the Kasich administration, Ross was instrumental in making many of the recent changes to Ohio’s education policies, including a new school-funding proposal, A-F school report cards, a reformed teacher evaluation system, increased school vouchers and the third grade reading guarantee, which forbids students from advancing to fourth grade if they do not pass a certain level on state reading tests, according to the Ohio Department of Education.

Experts said the appointment of Ross ties the governor’s office even closer to the Ohio Department of Education, with Kasich already having appointed seven current members.

Taylor Stepp, Undergraduate Student Government president and a third-year in public affairs, said he supports Ross’ appointment.

“I know the university has a really good relationship with Dr. Ross, and that the university has done a lot of really good work with Kasich’s team, especially with reformulating the funding methodology that President Gee worked on, and I’m really excited to see how Dr. Ross can help transform the state’s education system,” Stepp said.

Asher said the Ohio Board of Regents is more directly tied with colleges and universities, but there are still clear links between primary, secondary and higher education.

“We in higher education, for example, are very concerned when

students leave high school not ready for college or university experiences, and the universities and colleges play a major role in the training of the teachers who in fact provide instruction in primary and secondary (schools),” Asher said.

After the board narrowed the field of 30 applicants, Ross secured the job over standing Superintendent Michael Sawyers, who was temporarily filling in the position after former Superintendent Stan Heffner resigned in August when an investigation found he misused state resources.

Hired only a year previously, Heffner replaced Superintendent Deborah Delisle after she resigned following alleged reports that Kasich officials had informed her that the board had enough votes to fire her, according to a March 2011 Columbus Dispatch report.

Asher said he expects there to be greater stability now that Ross is superintendent.

“I would expect that Dick Ross will be in there for quite a while,” Asher said. “It’s good to have stability because as you build ongoing relationships with the department, those working relationships are enhanced if there is stability.”

Denied from 1A just weren’t going down for us,” Matta said in a somber Buckeye locker room following the game.

“It’s been a great season for this basketball team.

It never ends the way you want it to, but I love the fact of what this team was able to accomplish in terms of sitting at 18-7 (on Feb. 17) and finishing 29-8. They hit their stride at the right time.”

But against Wichita State, OSU finally stumbled.

Junior forward Deshaun Thomas led the Buckeyes with 23 points but struggled mightily to do so.

Thomas made just 8 of 20 attempts in addition to missing all six of his shots from behind the arc.

Sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross added 19 points, but he too found a well-glued Wichita State defense to be problematic.

So did the rest of OSU. “Those are shots you have to make — that we’ve been making in this tournament, that we’ve been making in the Big Ten. Guys had good looks,” Matta said. “Unfortunately, they didn’t go down. And a lot of times that becomes contagious. A guy hits one, another guy hits one, things kind of pick for you. It just didn’t happen tonight.”

In a first-half performance worthy of elimination, the Buckeyes clanked and clunked their way to 24 percent shooting and found themselves down by as many as 13.

Namely, Thomas, a beacon of scoring consistency for OSU, found it difficult to connect on much of anything early.

The Big Ten’s leading scorer mustered nine points on 4 of 13 shooting and 0-for-5 from 3-point range in the first 20 minutes. “(It was) very frustrating, very, very frustrating,” Thomas said.

The recent development of scoring accomplices like Ross and junior guard Aaron Craft were missing, too.

The two combined for seven points on 2 of 11 shooting in the game’s first act.

Also nowhere to be found was the swagger that often comes with a team playing for a chance at venturing back to college basketball’s mecca.

On the boards, the Buckeyes (29-8) were outmuscled, 27-17, in the first.

Any attempt to puncture the Shockers’ interior defense, headed by senior forward Carl Hall, who finished with six blocks, was rendered futile.

Admittedly, OSU players have said they’re at their best when playing in transition.

But against Wichita State (30-8), such movement was non-existent in the first period as the Buckeyes failed to score a single point off fast breaks.

“The funny thing about it, I looked at the box scores, we didn’t have no fast break points,” Thomas said. “You ain’t got no fast break points, you can’t (get them to turn the ball over) and you’re shooting 24 percent. It’s hard to win in the Elite Eight.”

They went into the half down, 35-22.

OSU junior forward Deshaun Thomas shoots over defenders during the 2nd half of the Elite 8 game against Wichita State at the Staples Center in Los Angeles March 30. OSU lost, 70-66.

Matta said his message in the locker room during intermission was simple.

“We talked about it at halftime, let’s just cut (the lead) under 10 in the first four minutes,” he said. “We got off to a not-so-good start in the second half and it got kind of deep.”

Deep as in the worst deficit OSU had faced since its lost to Wisconsin in Madison more than a month earlier.

The shooting woes continued. So did the inability to attack the basket and — perhaps more importantly — defend its own.

Time and again, Wichita State gashed OSU’s interior defense for the type of layups you might see during shootaround before the game.

On the other end, Hall defended the rim and refused the advances of Craft, among others.

“They played Big Ten defense, that’s what you see in the Big Ten,” Matta said. “It’s a loaded box and what you have to do is be able to knock a couple shots down and get some points in transition. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do either today.”

Thomas said the Shockers’ defense reminded him of a particular conference foe.

“They packed it real well. They was physical. That was a physical team. They reminded me of a Michigan State a little bit in the Big Ten. They was physical, they had shot blockers. They packed it in, they dared us to shoot the 3,” he said.

For most of the contest, it worked. But Behind Ross and Thomas, though, the Buckeyes would rally and cut the hole to eight points with 3:55 to play.

“We was down like that against Michigan State in the first half, like 12 or 13 points. When we dug ourselves (in a hole), we came back. And we tried to do that this game,” Thomas said.

campus Gee from 1A The Blue Creek Wind Farm features 152 Gamesa G90, 2.0 MW wind turbines producing a capacity of 304 megawatts, according to the Iberdrola Renewables website. The wind farm is Ohio’s largest commercial wind project and can power about 76,000 homes annually.

OSU plans to save $1 million a year by using wind energy.

OSU uses 25 percent of the energy the wind turbines at Blue Creek Wind Farm produces in northwest Ohio and would like to purchase more when it becomes available, Langen said.

“We’ve maxed out what that wind farm can do,” Langen said.

Gee said the money being spent on projects is an investment for future generations of OSU students.

“It’s not so much about what we do, it’s about the standard we set. It’s about what we do for the next generation,” Gee said.

BOE from 2A Casey Smith, a fourth-year in human development and family science, plans to become a teacher. She said she is apprehensive about all the changes to Ohio’s education policies and the competitiveness to secure a teaching job.

“I feel like it is a very pivotal time for Ohio for education … It does make me nervous knowing that the further I go along, the more things are changing,” Smith said. “That just puts another weight on our shoulders to say OK, what can we do to get a job then if everyone is trying to one-up each other and get all these different (teaching) specializations?”

Throughout the application process, Ross was open about a 2009 drunk-driving conviction for which his driver’s license was suspended for six months and he paid a $450 fine. According to The Columbus Dispatch, Ross is expected to earn about $200,000 per year, although no official salary has been set yet.

Kaur, who regularly wears a turban, said many people lack the courage to ask her why she wears it, and said she hopes the show will provide a forum to voice questions people have about religious identities.

OSU spends $62K on 103 bike racks mj dorony Lantern reporter dorony.4@osu.edu In a project that aims to provide increased safety across campus, 103 new bike racks have been installed at a cost of $62,000.

Lindsay Komlanc, spokeswoman for Ohio State’s Administration and Planning, said the installations across 11 locations on campus were completed on March 22 and funded by Facilities Operations and Development and Transportation & Traffic Management. The bike racks will add an additional 206 spaces in total for bikes.

Komlanc said in an email the Traffic Safety Task Force recommended this project last fall. OSU President E. Gordon Gee formed the task force after a series of traffic accidents occurred during Fall Semester.

“The task force was charged to provide an initial assessment of safety on campus as it relates to pedestrian and vehicular behavior and suggest both short- and long-term solutions,” Komlanc said.

Komlanc said this project was identified as a need that could be addressed quickly, so the university made plans to complete it as soon as possible.

To complement the installation of new bike racks, two new concrete pads were put in place at the 18th Avenue Library and Prior Hall, the Health Sciences library, to make bases that would last longer in supporting the racks.

Thirty-eight bike racks totaling 76 spaces are installed at the northeast corner of Morrill Tower, the most of any location on campus.

Kathleen Morris, a third-year in human resource and mathematics, lives in Morrill Tower and noticed the construction going on in front of the main entrance.

“There would be four bikes on a rack last semester and people would lock bikes onto each other’s bikes,” Morris said. “So it was needed.”

Morris said the construction seemed to be around for a little less than a week and students were forced to change paths in order to get to Morrill Tower, but overall, “it was worth it.”

Komlanc said an installation at each site would take roughly two to three days.

open and very raw, so people should come into it with an open mind.”

Kaur was one of two students given OSU’s Undergraduate Peace Award earlier this year, a new award that honors undergraduate students actively working on peace and justice in the Columbus community.

In September, a Reddit user under the username “european_douchebag” posted a picture of Kaur on Reddit.com without her knowledge. The caption read, “I’m not sure what to conclude from this,” in reference to Kaur’s facial hair and turban.

Kaur’s forgiving response garnered international attention, and her story was picked up by various news outlets, including Jezebel, Huffington Post, Yahoo!News and CNN. The show, to be held Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Great Hall Meeting Room of the Ohio Union, is free.

Some religions set to be represented include Wiccan, Christian and Hindu.

New bike racks near Morrill Tower are part of a $62,000 project that aims to provide increased safety across OSU’s campus.

“It’s nice that they put it right in front of the tower so when you walk outside it’s right there for you to get your bike,” Morris said.

Spencer Poulos, a first-year in finance and Morrill Tower resident, will be living off campus next year, but said he is glad there will be more bike racks in the heart of campus.

“When I rode my bike in the fall, there were very few spots available. A lot of the time I would have to bring my bike over to Lincoln Tower and head back to Morrill,” Poulos said.

Other new bike rack locations are the northeast side of McPherson Hall and the northeast corner of the Northwest Parking Garage, with 10 and 24 racks, respectively.

Other events include a screening of “Philadelphia,” a 1993 film which centers on a man, played

by Tom Hanks, who is fired from a conservative law firm upon its discovery that he is infected with AIDS. The man goes on to hire a homophobic but willing attorney, played by Denzel Washington, in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit — one of the first of its kind.

“Philadelphia Cream Cheese: Movie Night” is scheduled for Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in Cartoon Room 2 of the Ohio Union. There is no entry fee, and cream cheese and bagels will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The events include a benefit concert Friday evening in the Browning Amphitheater, featuring local acts like Snakes or Swords and The Ritual Tones but also international rapper Khaled Ahmed, known as Khaled M. Amanda Siroskey, a third-year in communication

helping organize the concert, said in an email the proceeds will be divided among groups to benefit underprivileged children.

“The donations received … will be split between the Buckeye Clinic and UNICEF, with the funds from UNICEF going towards Syrian refugees,” Siroskey said.

The suggested donation is $5, but attendees may give more if they wish. The concert is set to start at 6:30 p.m.

Reddy said she hopes “No Place for Hate Week” will continue in the future.

“This is something that hopefully will continue to remind people every year that this is something Ohio State values, and that Ohio State is no place for hate,” Reddy said.

“No Place for Hate Week” is set to kick off with a freedom rally Monday at 6 p.m. in the Performance Hall of the Ohio Union.

studentvoice Parking meter charges force students to help update city LANTERN Columnist

Last year, the City of Columbus turned 200. In anticipation, the city government came together with civic leaders to ensure the year 2012 was marked not just by a birthday, but by a new Columbus.

Part of this revitalization was the building of the Hilton Columbus Downtown — a project that will cost about $140 million.

Columbus then set aside $1.4 million to use from parking meter revenues if needed. In 2010, the PATRICK SEAWORTH Parking Meter Advisory Team was seaworth.1@osu.edu convened to put forth a recommendation as to how that $1.4 million could be raised annually — by updates to the city’s parking meter system. The final report put forth those propositions which currently dictate the OSU area meters.

Recommendation No. 5 of the report states: “Near, (Ohio State) … add a limited number of 30-minute meters, and add 2-hour meters to 15th Avenue.” This is intended to aid local businesses, as is Recommendation No. 1: “Add over 400 meters to serve key neighborhoods including OSU Campus … adding meters where feasible and in support of area businesses.” The report explains these meters are intended to aid businesses by keeping local parking from taking spots that patrons of the area otherwise have access to.

OSU should extinguish its misguided efforts to be a tobacco-free campus

Taking a walk down 15th Avenue, you find parking meters in front of Greek and student housing. Greek establishments might be entertaining enough, yet they are in no way businesses the city seeks to support.

One could argue that these meters are not a burden upon the OSU community, but rather a means of allowing students an alternative to campus parking permits.

This argument fails to recognize the manner in which this additional revenue is a means of placing a tax upon a population which does not originate from the locality, so that the city itself can pay for an item that arguably only marginally benefits the average OSU student.

According to the admissions’ website, about 25 percent of this year’s almost 7,200 new undergraduate students come from the other 49 states and from countries around the world. In economic terms, this is a form of revenue labeled “tax exportation.”

Rather than placing the cost directly upon the users of the convention center, or adding a timeline to remove the additional meters, the report adds that these additional meters should become permanent Columbus revenue generators intended to benefit the city and not the campus.

It is indeed difficult to see why the city would have any incentive to remove these meters to the benefit of “We the Students.” These meters have become a source of revenue to the city, a form of taxation placed literally upon the rest of the world. Last I checked, there has yet to be a space dedicated to the OSU student at the downtown Hilton.

NCAA separates athletes and students Letter to the editor: College sports are a multi-billion dollar business, and the NCAA prevents college athletes from benefitting from more than a scholarship. This is not to say that scholarships do not provide enough for athletes, but that if other opportunities should arise, then athletes should be able to pursue those chances.

I’m not advocating that colleges should pay athletes, but I do not believe it is fair for the NCAA to restrict a student-athlete from receiving compensation from sources outside of school when other students are allowed to pursue outside opportunities. Being in the thick of March Madness, players can become heroes, like Aaron Craft hitting the winning shot versus Iowa State to advance to the Sweet 16, or Tyrone Garland from La Salle University making a game-winning shot against Ole Miss to continue its season. With this recent success, why shouldn’t these athletes be allowed to be paid for an autograph session or to accept lunch from a fellow student? March Madness is a money-maker. In 2012, about 75 percent of the $860 million revenue for the NCAA was from basketball tournament multimedia right agreement. The schools participating in the tournaments also make money, but the athletes receive nothing. The NCAA says that student-athletes should be treated like any other student on campus, with student-athletes just happening to be athletes as well. Athletes have restrictions that other students do not, e.g., a music student could create a CD and sell it, while athletes cannot receive this sort of payment. So in reality, student-athletes are not just like other students. The idea of amateurism does nothing for the athlete or for the educational process. The NCAA has seen a struggle in recent years and is in need of a change.

Letter to the editor: The university is well-intentioned with the proposed tobaccofree policy, but it is misguided. Let me preface by saying that I am not a smoker, nor do I advocate that anyone smoke. The proposed tobacco-free policy is supposed to make a healthier campus, yet it is unenforceable, results in unintended consequences, does not make us healthier, and is a clear violation of the rights of the minority.

In 2007, the Ohio Smoke Free Workplace Act started being enforced. This act included a provision that said smoking is not legal in “areas directly or indirectly under the control of the proprietor immediately adjacent to locations of ingress or egress to the public place or place of employment.” However, we have all walked near the Science and Engineering Library. Students, faculty and staff alike still smoke there, regardless of the fact that it’s a clear violation of the 2007 law. In addition, not only do they still smoke there, but there is no enforcement of the law. If the university does not enforce a state law, a university policy certainly will not be enforced. If it is enforced, it will require resources.

It would be ill-advised for the university to divert public safety resources to enforcing this policy instead of protecting students in a time when our crime rate is so high. As well, should the policy be enforced, students will be sent to the Office of Student Conduct.

The university should not be in the business of punishing students for an addiction. Finally, this is a tobacco-free policy, which includes dipping tobacco. It would create an unfortunate culture if the university police have to search students because they are suspected to be carrying something as innocent as dipping tobacco.

Our campus is about 1,765 acres. With the enacting of the tobacco-free policy, people will not magically stop smoking.

Instead, they will walk to the edges of our large campus, particularly the east side of High Street and the north side of Lane Avenue. They will then proceed to smoke, and discard their cigarette butts on those streets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 25 percent of adults in Ohio smoke. Given that there are about 80,000 faculty, staff and students on campus at one time, that theoretically means about 20,000 smokers will create a compact smoker’s haven off campus instead of being spread out across our large campus. Ohio State has also taken strides to be an environmentally conscious campus, yet with this policy we will see much litter off campus.

Second-hand smoke is dangerous. Although this policy will only move second-hand smoke off campus and concentrate it in a small area, it does not address those who actually use tobacco.

The proposed policy mentions that, “The university is committed to supporting all faculty, staff and students who wish to stop using tobacco products,” yet provides no additional resources for smoking cessation programs than the minimal ones already found for students through the Student Wellness Center. If Ohio State were serious about helping students quit smoking, they would not enact a tobacco-free policy — that gives the illusion of creating a healthier campus for good publicity — but rather would devote more resources to helping faculty, staff and students actually quit smoking. The university has a laudable goal of creating a tobacco-free campus, but the only way to create that is by helping people to quit smoking, something this policy does not address satisfactorily.

Those who smoke are putting their lives in danger and should be given help to quit if they so wish. However, this country was founded on principles that while the majority rules, the rights of the minority should not be infringed. Ohio State often talks about being a diverse campus that respects all people, regardless of race, sex, creed or life choices. We are a vibrant university that fosters and encourages many diverging opinions to be shared. The university has a record of protecting the rights of the minority, and we should not begin infringing on them here. The rights of smokers should not be infringed; it is their personal choice, and while we should help them quit if they wish, we must respect the choice they make.

Former President Thomas Jefferson said, “Though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.” It is my hope that though the university’s will is rightful, that they will be reasonable, and that the minority of students who choose to smoke will still possess their equal rights.

Bowls often exploit charity distinction Letter to the editor: Commercialism shows its face once again in college football. Bidding ended on Wednesday for the location of the semi-final rotation of the new NCAA playoff system in college football. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Glendale, Ariz.), AT&T Cotton Bowl (Arlington, Texas), Chick-fil-A Bowl (Atlanta) and Bridgeport Education Holiday Bowl (San Diego) all met Wednesday’s deadline to bid on the semifinal sites. Three of these four bowl sites will be selected to join the Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls for the semi-final rotation. The most likely favorites are the Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A bowls, according to ESPN. The four bowls that previously made up the Bowl Championship Series, were (and still are) classified as tax-exempt nonprofit charities. They are able to be classified as tax-exempt because they are set up with the mission to do “public good” with the money that they earn and spend. In 2007, New Orleans generated $34.1 million in revenue when they hosted both the Sugar Bowl and the BCS National Championship Game – $11.6 million of that was tax-free profit, according to the book “Death to the BCS: the Definitive Case against the Bow Championship Series.” In 2009, the Sugar Bowl paid its CEO Paul Hoolahan more than $645,000, according to ESPN. That does not include the other golf trips and vacation getaways for their executives such as “The Fiesta Frolic” and the “The Summer Splash” for the Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl, respectively.

Where do these bowls get their revenue you ask?

They depend on the participation of taxpayer-financed institutions and subsidies, of course. It appears that only after they pay their executives a “lucrative” salary, can they then spend their “profits” on the “public good.” I can only imagine what bids for the new playoff locations look like. Now the playoff system makes sen$e.

In just three seasons, “Arrested Development” changed everything I knew about TV comedies by making me realize just how funny a TV show can be. It restored my faith Patrick Bailey in the state of bailey.829 television quality, that maybe there can be a place for high-level comedy amid all the lowest-common-denominator malarkey dominating the programming blocks. Seven years after being taken off the air due to low viewership, the show’s cult status generated enough interest that the entire cast reassembled to film a fourth and final season. There are even rumors of a film adaptation, and I couldn’t be happier.

The series, which revolved around the nine members of the newly bankrupt Bluth family and originally aired on Fox from 2003-2006, has a comedy style that lends itself to many repeated viewings and episode after episode binge-watching. In wise response to this fact, the new season is planned to be released all at once, exclusively on Netflix sometime in May. In just one month, after all these years, I finally get to find out if George Michael is still interested in Ann, or if Gob — pronounced like the name “Job” — ever gets accepted back into the Magician’s Alliance, or if Tobias

‘Arrested Development’ stars Will Arnett (left) and Jason Bateman. ever comes to terms with his sexuality, even though everyone else in the family already has.

And the unique format of the new season’s release is the perfect medium for it.

Netflix viewing is the format “Arrested Development” was truly made for. The one-episode-a-week release structure of the average television show just doesn’t do justice to the complex, easily missed humor of “Arrested Development,” clearly displayed by the relative success the show finds on DVD compared to its floundering TV ratings. Its quickly paced, discreet humor can whiz over the heads of many first-time watchers. But, after seeing

an episode two or three times, you realize how intricate and expertly woven the characters’ storylines are, and layers of humor begin to stack up as you notice more and more of the countless subtleties hidden in every scene.

For the three years that the show ran, its unconventional style struggled to attract the audience that shows like “Scrubs” could with softball humor and easy-tofollow plot formulas. And so, as all good things tend to, it died young. And according to creator and comedic genius Mitchell Hurwitz, the world will see no more of the Bluth family following this batch of new content.

Many see this as a shame, a cold reminder of the intolerance for thought provocation in popular culture.

But to me, it just adds to the show’s magic. In just 53 episodes, this show has supplied me with more laughs than all nine seasons and 180-plus episodes of “Scrubs” put together. There is just so much amazing content condensed into them that I never felt cheated by its brief running time. In fact, the only complaint I’ve ever felt about the show was its anticlimactic end, as it was forced to wrap up after a mid-season discontinuation notice from Fox. And so the approaching final season, and possible big-screen adaptation, should be a perfect bookend to this incredible franchise. Instead of ending on the disheartening note of commercial rejection, “Arrested Development” is getting the rare opportunity to resurrect and go out in light of the critical recognition it deserves.

On its release date next month, yet to be exactly determined, rest assured that I’ll be holed up in a room somewhere, laughing my ass off all day and feeling renewed faith in humanity, which should last until I see another commercial for Jerry Springer’s “Baggage.”

Puppets to deviate from perceptions with ‘mature’ show in Columbus Alexis Preskar Lantern reporter preskar.1@osu.edu

Puppets have traditionally taught people their ABCs, not about the appropriate volume for making love. But the characters of “Avenue Q” aren’t traditional puppets.

“Avenue Q” presented by theater company CATCO, is slated to run at the Vern Riffe Center, Studio One Theatre Wednesday through April 21.

The musical focuses on life lessons like the realities of growing up and finding a job. The messages are delivered through puppets that swear, crack jokes and even have sex onstage. The show is rated R and is for mature audiences only, according to a press release.

Steven Anderson, director of the show and producing director for CATCO, described the musical as a humorous way to look at growing up.

“It’s really about 20-something angst and about who am I and where am I going and why isn’t my life taking off as quickly as I hoped it would,” Anderson said.

Patrick Walters plays Brian, a struggling comedian, and is one of the few characters who does not work with a puppet. An Ohio State alumnus, Walters said the show is relatable to anyone who has been a student and faces the challenges of getting a job and becoming an adult.

“We all have to swallow that pill. It’s easy to look back and laugh,” Walters said.

With songs such as “The Internet Is For Porn” and “Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist,” Anderson said the show can be shocking, but the audiences are generally receptive.

“People have just taken it to heart, and the puppets can get away with more than real people could,” Anderson said. “They’re so disarming you can’t really take it seriously.”

Don Knoblauch, another OSU alumnus who plays Trekkie Monster, Nicky and one of the Bad Idea Bears, agreed that the puppets enable some of the more scandalous scenes to go over with less offense.

Knoblauch has worked with puppets before, namely for the first run of “Avenue Q,” and said doing the show was not a difficult jump to make. Walters, however, said he never thought he would do a show with puppets, and there was a learning curve to interacting with the puppets rather than the other actors controlling them.

He said his favorite part of the show is watching the other actors who work with puppets.

“It’s pretty amazing, the work they can do with such a short period and just bring it to life. Somehow in some weird way those puppets have facial expressions even though they’re expressionless,” Walters said.

CATCO first produced the show in August 2012, and it was so well-received that it has been brought back for another run, Anderson said. The August run was at the Palace Theatre, but the director said he likes the Riffe

Social media changing the face of online arguments, views on equality

Wednesday

Facebook has been looking pretty red lately due to the mass of people changing their profile pictures and banners to red equal signs in support of marriage equality.

Shelby Lum Your lum.13@osu.edu Facebook friends aren’t the only ones taking sides in the battle between those for gay marriage and those who are against it, as musicians have also been taking a stance on the issue — sometimes to the detriment of their career.

Social media has dominated some pretty heavy issues from the May 2011 killing of Osama Bin Laden to the election in November, and I personally know people who solely receive news through Facebook, Twitter or some other social media outlet.

But what impact does this have on campaigns, be it for politics or an issue like gay marriage? The red equal sign that covered Facebook — and still remains on some profiles — is just another way technology and the amount of time people spend on social media sites has changed the way hot topics are handled.

Is Facebook ready for that though?

Beyoncé posted a message about supporting marriage equality on her Instagram account March 26.

American country music singer Willie Nelson was recently pictured holding up a customized red equality sign. Rather than the traditional equal sign, two braids that looked like smoking joints were depicted, two things for which the music veteran is known.

Continuing the red theme, Beyoncé posted an Instagram picture of a red note with the handwritten words, “If you like it you should be able to put a ring on it” and “#wewillunite4marriageequality!” Last year her husband, Jay-Z, also openly announced his support of gay marriage.

Boy Scouts of America has been receiving a considerable amount of criticism due to its policy against gay scouts and gay masters. At the 24th Annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Awards on March 16, Madonna showed up in a Cub Scout Uniform, telling the audience she had been denied from becoming a Boy Scout despite her interest, according to Huffington Post. During her speech at the awards she openly disagreed with the organization’s stance towards gays and its refusal to revise its rules.

After the awards, GLAAD also went after pop-rock band Train and Carly Rae Jepsen for their scheduled spots at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree, a celebration of scouting, and according to Huffington Post, just hours after the statement from GLAAD was issued, Train announced via its website that it would no longer be performing at the Jamboree.

Jazz festival to trumpet into OSU Elizabeth Garabedian Lantern reporter garabedian.3@osu.edu Although a specific type of music will be the main focus for the Ohio State School of Music’s annual Jazz Festival, one performer says the music will be diverse.

“There are all the really talented OSU bands performing. Pretty much any type of listener would have a benefit (in attending) because there is so much diversity on the musical selection,” said Kris Johnson, OSU jazz faculty trumpeter and member of modern jazz band Kris Johnson Group. “There’s a group like my own doing new material and original music, then there’s Pharez Whitted performing on Saturday, playing straight-ahead jazz.”

The 36th annual OSU School of Music Jazz Festival is set to kick off Thursday and run through Sunday with performances at the Weigel Auditorium and the Wexner Center for the Arts Performance Space.

Johnson teaches jazz trumpet, jazz composition and jazz arrangement. His self-titled group, which features trumpet, alto sax, two piano players, electric bass, drums and percussion, is set to perform first at the Jazz Festival at 6 p.m.

Thursday in Weigel Auditorium.

Johnson said most of the music his group plans on playing is from its most recent album, “Odd Expressions,” which released Nov. 25.

“We’re doing all original music,” Johnson said. “The majority of the music…(is) all groove-based, jazz-based music.”

The Kris Johnson Group is to be followed by several ensembles throughout the weekend, including the OSU Jazz Ensemble featuring Shawn “Thunder” Wallace and headliner Pharez Whitted Sextet. College and high school jazz ensembles are also scheduled to perform in the festival.

College Jazz Band Day is set to take place on Saturday, and the Ohio State Jazz Lab Ensemble, Jazz Workshop and Jazz Combos are scheduled to perform along with a few visiting college ensembles. High School Jazz Band Day is planned for Sunday and is set to host 15 to 20 high school bands from in and outside of Ohio.

Wallace, associate professor of music, said planning the Jazz Festival was difficult this year with the semester conversion but that it opened up new opportunities.

“Imagine having to redesign every class that you teach, restructure things, change everything,” Wallace said. “Change is a good thing, so we took this as an opportunity to improve some things (like booking more bands) … A part (of the festival) is booking the bands, and of course we can’t do that last-minute, that had to be something planned for and budgeted for.”

Wallace said he knew from a young age that he wanted to be a jazz performer.

“I started on the alto saxophone, and my dad was a musician, so I heard him playing the sax around the house,” Wallace said. “I kept begging my dad to teach me until I was about 6 years old, which is when I started. I just knew that’s

Whitted and his band, Pharez Whitted Sextet, is set to perform Saturday at 8 p.m. in Weigel Auditorium.

He said OSU is part of the appeal that brought them back to Columbus, as well as being a part of OSU again.

“It’s Ohio State University,” Whitted said. “I used to work there back in the 1990s. It’s a wonderful school with a wonderful program, and you have great faculty there and wonderful students. It’s a Big Ten university with how much money and prestige associated with it, and it has a lot of the Best Damn Bands in the Land. I love Columbus, Ohio.”

No tickets are required for the College Jazz Band Day or High School Jazz Band Day. Ticket prices vary for all other events, but all tickets are available at the Wexner Center Ticket Office or at the door.

Equality from 6A The ultimatum: a revised policy from BSA, lifting the ban on gays in its organization.

Jepsen also took her name off the bill and announced via Twitter she would no longer be playing at the show.

BSA is no stranger to criticism though, and it seems doubtful that the withdrawal of two pop stars will change much.

Hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis starred in a video for the “You Can Play” project. The pro-gay group is specifically focused on equal rights for gays to play in sports and decreasing homophobia within the sports arena. Current and former Ohio State’s men’s ice hockey team also created a video for the “You Can Play” group, showcasing members of the team supporting homosexuality within athletics, which the team featured at its first ever “pride night” in support of eliminating homophobia in sports.

On the flip side, alternative folk singer, Michelle Shocked, is feeling the wrath of the public in the aftermath of her alleged anti-gay statements on March 17 while in San Francisco. According to Huffington Post, the singer said in her second set at Yoshi’s, a jazz club and restaurant, “I live in fear, that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry.”

This all seems a little odd, considering the woman once came out as a lesbian.

The club apparently emptied after her anti-gay speech.

According to NBC Bay Area, she has taken a pretty hard hit in the wave of backlash that has happened in the weeks after the show. Her publicist is gone. Her booking agent is gone, and the Twitterverse has moved to engaging in full fledged battles on the Twitterfront verses Shocked.

Since then, Shocked has issued an apology for her rant, saying what she had intended to say was misinterpreted.

Despite the apology, venues across the nation are no longer allowing her inside the doors, and nearly her entire tour has been canceled as a result of the San Francisco speech.

While the attention is largely negative, this is the most that Shocked has been in the public eye for years, and the controversy surrounding her statements at Yoshi’s isn’t stopping.

In response she showed up to one of her canceled gigs. According to The New York Times, Shocked went to Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, Calif., and sat herself down outside the club. Covered in a disposable safety suit with her mouth duct-taped shut, she played outside the venue that had canceled her show. Those who walked by were invited to write their thoughts and reactions on her suit with markers.

Does this do any good though?

The damage has been done, and according to The New York Times, the owner of the club had no intentions of giving her the stage back.

Shocked cannot change the result of her personal outcry against the gay community, but what I am wondering is who else is out there? She can’t be the only one who feels that way, but lately she is the only one who has had the nerve to actually say it.

Celebrities in favor of gay marriage have had no issue being open in their stance, but the public has also made it a lot easier on them. Being in the majority is always easier.

The onset of social media has taken away the diversity of opinions.

Regardless of the issue, Facebook and Twitter have become the unofficial forum to voice beliefs about anything. It’s the social part of the social media.

Somewhere in there though, the voice of the minority was lost, most likely due to fear of repercussions. That apprehension to write a status about gay marriage, politics or anything else will have consequences of its own, though.

Just like the pinked-out photos for breast cancer awareness, the red equal signs went viral, as did the belief that everyone is for gay marriage. But that popular change to red on Facebook makes me wonder if social media has made it nearly impossible for all voices to be heard without being completely torn apart by peers within the safe confines of Facebook posts and Twitter wars.

[ a +e ] ‘Tonight Show,’ ‘Late Night’ shuffle might oust Leno again Arts Columnist

Rumors have been swirling over the last few weeks that NBC is planning to remove Jay Leno from his hosting duties on “The Tonight Show” and promote the host of “Late Night” to the coveted 11:35 Ryan Cooper p.m. time slot. cooper.487@osu.edu Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You might recall that in the summer of 2009, NBC began a horribly ill-fated plan, which revolved around Conan O’Brien, then the host of “Late Night,” succeeding Jay Leno as the host of “The Tonight Show.”

NBC, however, decided it wouldn’t like to see Leno end up on a rival network, and so gave him a new talk show, “The Jay Leno Show” at the unprecedented 10 p.m. time slot. “Late Night” was then taken over by “Saturday Night Live” alumnus Jimmy Fallon. This proved to be an utter failure, as “The Jay Leno Show” absolutely bombed in the ratings, creating a domino effect that led to O’Brien and Fallon also seeing poor ratings.

NBC, realizing this format was not going to work, decided to bump Leno’s new show to 11:35 p.m.,

Courtesy of MCT

Jimmy Fallon (right) interviews President Barack Obama on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.’ Rumors have been circulating as to whether Fallon might replace Jay Leno on ‘The Tonight Show.’ bumping O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” to 12:05 a.m. After about eight months as the host, O’Brien decided this was not suitable, as it would also bump Fallon and Carson Daly’s “Last Call” later into the night. O’Brien opted to leave NBC, and was eventually hired by TBS, where he still hosts his own late night show, “Conan.”

Flash-forward a few years. There have been a lot of reports recently that NBC is fed up with Leno, and Leno has had enough with NBC. The network wants Leno out immediately in an attempt to attract a younger audience for the 11:35 p.m. time slot, but Leno, under contract for another year, is choosing to keep his show

until his contract runs out. He feels he has no reason to turn down the money still owed to him, does not want to retire before his longtime rival David Letterman and probably doesn’t mind sticking it to NBC. The plan set in place at the moment is for Fallon to move up and be Leno’s successor. Although this sounds eerily similar to what happened to O’Brien, Fallon probably does not need to worry about ending up on a cable network after a few months. In 2009, NBC still coveted Leno enough to give him a new show rather than see him go to another network. When Leno’s contract runs up this time, it is very unlikely that NBC has any problem

saying goodbye to the man who has been hosting for the network since Johnny Carson retired in 1992.

Besides the intrigue of the ugly separation between these titans of the late night talk circuit, the same question can be brought up as when O’Brien took over “The Tonight Show:” who is taking over “Late Night?”

Several big names have come up in this discussion, though there is no way of knowing how legitimate any of these rumors are.

The leading candidate at the moment appears to be “SNL” Weekend Update host and head writer Seth Meyers. Meyers, who has been on “SNL” since 2001, already has a strong relationship with NBC and is popular based on his work on the show.

Other big names have also come up many times in recent weeks. Perhaps the biggest name is “The King of All Media” and current “America’s Got Talent” judge Howard Stern. Stern would certainly not fit into the belief that NBC is looking for younger, up-and-coming names, but he carries enough influence and a following that he would surely attract larger ratings.

Really, any popular, somewhat-young comedian has and will be rumored as a replacement candidate. Some of these names include Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Patton Oswalt, Joel McHale and Chelsea Handler.

Two more names that probably come to mind pretty quickly, but are not likely to be a possibility, are Jerry Seinfeld and Jon Stewart.

4 OSU students to travel to NYC, compete in College Union Poetry Slam Invitational AJ King Lantern reporter lewis-king.1@osu.edu Quartez Harris and Jana Al-Akhras practice all the hand motions and ad-libs that can help bring their words to life in the form of slam poetry. The poem is a collaborative piece about the difficulties of growing up in urban Chicago and the rough confines of Gaza City, Palestine, and the pair is preparing to head to competition in New York.

The College Union Poetry Slam Invitational (CUPSI) is scheduled to be held Wednesday through Saturday at Barnard College in New York, NY. The poetry slam is set to bring in 50 colleges and universities from across the country to compete against each other as slam teams. The competition consists of a preliminary round in which all schools will participate and eventually will be cut down to a final 10 schools that will compete to win the contest.

Ohio State is sending four students to CUPSI this year, and the team will be performing the final versions of their poems for students at OSU Monday at the Hale Black Cultural Center from 8 to 9 p.m.

The OSU CUPSI team is lead by Harris, a fourth-year in social work,

who is competing in the poetry slam for a second time. Harris is a Columbus native who has experience performing throughout the city in venues such as The Columbus Cultural Arts Center to go along with his published manuscript titled ‘An Imperfect Brain.’ Max Buck, a first-year in computer science and engineering, Soz Zangana, a fourth-year in human development and family science, and Al-Akhras, a graduating third-year in international studies, fill out the rest of the team.

Harris is the president of the student organization Never Let Your Pen Dry, which sponsors CUPSI. The group brought poet William Evans to help coach the team. On Saturdays the CUPSI team practices in the performance space at Baker West Hall. Evans’ presence has been a huge inspiration to the team, Al-Akhras said.

“Will is just amazing. Every time I see him perform and every time I hear him perform I’m absolutely blown away,” Al-Akhras said. “He’s really helpful and willing to work through the writer’s process with you and doesn’t really chastise you for being behind.”

Al-Akhras’ Palestinian heritage has greatly influenced her work for the upcoming poetry slam. She said she believes Palestinians have always been large proponents of non-violent resistance and one of the biggest forms of non-violent resistance is poetry. Al-Akhras originally wrote all three of her solo performance pieces about Palestine, but decided to switch it

up last minute, changing her third piece to one concerning her identity as a Arab-American Muslim.

The writing process has been stressful but worth it, she said.

“It’s forced me to write, which I don’t do very often,” Al-Akhras said. “It’s a painful process but it’s a good one.”

Buck, the youngest member of the CUPSI team, was thrown into the fold a little later into the process because two original team members dropped out. But Buck said he is very excited about his opportunity to perform some of his newest material in New York. Buck’s latest poem, “Paint,” is a piece told through the lens of a little girl. Buck also has experience on a slam poetry team because he participated for three years on his high school’s travelling slam team in Cleveland.

“My mom was an English teacher and my parents always read to me growing up. I always loved literature and reading,” Buck said.

One of the biggest focuses during the final practices leading up to the event is the hand motions and synchronization of group poems.

“With words you’re trying to paint a picture in peoples’ minds, but with the added extra hand motion and showing people that you are passionate about what you’re saying and then attempting to convey that through your actions is extremely helpful in painting the picture we’re desperate to paint with our words,” Al-Akhras said.

Agony of defeat looms over OSU andrew holleran Photo editor holleran.9@osu.edu LOS ANGELES — The agony that often comes with playing in March was ever so evident following Ohio State’s game Saturday evening.

Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas slowly made their way to a press conference following their loss to Wichita State with their eyes glassed over and their heads down.

Inside the Buckeyes’ locker room, teammates of the junior guard and forward were even more noticeably distraught than their veteran leaders.

Freshman guard Amedeo Della Valle sat in a chair with his arms crossed, his cheeks puffed and tears streaming down his face.

Sophomore point guard Shannon Scott slumped in a corner with a white towel covering his head.

Sophomore forwards Sam Thompson and LaQuinton Ross stared blankly into the wreckage of emotional despair flooding the area around them.

Redshirt senior forward Evan Ravenel and junior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. poured over their phones, never looking up.

Pain and sorrow showcased by student-athletes is commonplace following a loss in the NCAA Tournament, as the Buckeyes experienced in the West Region’s Elite Eight contest at Staples Center Saturday afternoon, when heavy underdog Wichita State ended OSU’s season in a 70-66 upset.

But that doesn’t make defeat any

OSU junior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. (right) and sophomore guard Shannon Scott sit in the locker room after the Elite 8 game against Wichita State at the Staples Center in Los Angeles March 30. OSU lost, 70-66. easier to cope with, as displayed by the postgame scene of the No. 2-seed following a loss to the No. 9-seeded Shockers.

Never is college basketball more equally cruel and rewarding than it is during the three-week roller coaster of emotions from early March until the first weekend in April.

From the NCAA Tournament’s first round through the Final Four, the sting of losing and thrill of winning are as heightened as ever.

It was just two days prior to OSU’s run coming to a close when the Buckeyes’ locker room was a place of smiles and laughs.

Thursday evening, after OSU beat No. 6 seed Arizona, 73-70, in the Sweet 16, the Lakers’ clubhouse — inhabited by the Buckeyes during

their time in Los Angeles — was filled with happiness.

Craft, jumping up and down behind a sea of reporters, lifted his jersey up to his mouth in an attempt to distract Ross — the game’s hero who hit a 3-pointer with two seconds left to give OSU the win — who was being interviewed on camera by the Big Ten Network.

Scott, Smith and Ravenel argued over who was superior in the Nintendo 64 game “Mario Kart.”

“Whose name is at the top of the leader board, Lenzelle?” Scott teased.

“I’m clearly the best, don’t listen to them,” Ravenel roared from across the room.

There was none of that Saturday.

“It hurts,” Craft said. “We didn’t

come out with the same intensity, the same fire today, and they did. It’s tough and it hurts.”

Part of the aching in the Buckeyes’ hearts can likely be attributed to the team that they lost to.

OSU entered Saturday’s bout with Wichita State as unquestioned favorites. The Shockers are a mid-major that didn’t even win their conference, the Missouri Valley.

Wichita State’s roster is comprised of mid-to-lower level recruits, none of whom likely have a future in the NBA. The Buckeyes returning to the Final Four after losing to Kansas in New Orleans last season was a near certainty to many. Of the dozens of national analysts that predicted the contest’s outcome, none went with the Shockers.

But Gregg Marshall’s squad proved against the Buckeyes that his team wears sneakers, not slippers, even though the apparently non-Cinderella program is making its first appearance in the Final Four since 1965.

“They were better than I thought,” Ross said.

More so, however, the suffering showcased by OSU’s players following the game is attributed to the simple logic that this specific team will never play another game together.

It’s a thought that never really enters the heads of the 20-something players until the final horn sounds.

One bad half ends Buckeyes’ season andrew holleran Photo editor holleran.9@osu.edu LOS ANGELES — One bad half of basketball, and the season will likely be over.

That was the message Thad Matta sent to his No. 2-seeded Buckeyes just before the NCAA Tournament started. The 45-year-old coach knows from experience. OSU collapsed in the second half of a Final Four loss to Kansas in New Orleans last year and to Kentucky in the same scenario in the Sweet 16 a season prior to that.

Saturday, in an Elite Eight game against Wichita State at Staples Center in Los Angeles, it happened again.

The Buckeyes stumbled out of the gate, allowing the No. 9-seeded Shockers to race out to a 13-point lead in the first half. Wichita State’s lead ballooned to 20 points in the second half before OSU fought back. Led by junior forward Deshaun Thomas and his 23 points, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall saw his team’s lead shrink to three points with less than two minutes left.

But the comeback was too little, too late for an OSU squad attempting to reach its third Final Four in seven seasons. Marshall and the Shockers escaped, 70-66, as Wichita State reached its first Final Four since 1965. There, it will join Michigan, Louisville and Syracuse.

“We always try to fight back. We did it throughout this tournament, throughout this year, but today it was just too big to overcome,” said sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross, who had 19 points in defeat.

OSU sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross shoots the ball during the 2nd half of the Elite 8 game against Wichita State at the Staples Center in Los Angeles March 30. OSU lost, 70-66.

Friday, OSU players repeatedly dismissed the idea that Wichita State was a “Cinderella” whose time was about to run out, glass slipper ready to shatter.

The Shockers proved the Buckeyes right in the first twenty minutes, possibly even to a surprising extent.

“They’re a great team, better than I thought,” Ross said.

Wichita State was physical, out-muscling and out-rebounding the Buckeyes from the get-go.

“They did a good job of packing it in,

somewhat kind of like Wisconsin, kind of like that,” said junior guard Aaron Craft. “They had a couple shot blockers, a little better than the ones at Wisconsin, obviously.”

Wichita State had 13 offensive rebounds and blocked nine OSU shots.

Matta, possibly noticing his team’s season slipping away, called a timeout when Wichita State pushed its lead to 10 in the first half. In the huddle, Matta clapped his hands, pointed his

Fast start not enough for men’s lacrosse against Loyola Daniel Rogers Lantern reporter rogers.746@osu.edu

OSU freshman attacker Ryan Hunter cradles the ball during a game against Marquette on Feb. 23 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. OSU won, 18-8.

After playing its last three games on the road, the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team got off to a rough start back home as it fell, 9-4, to the No. 5 Loyola Greyhounds.

The No. 12 Buckeyes failed to gain ground on the Eastern College Athletic Conference leaders, despite a strong start to the game.

Senior attacker Logan Schuss scored 55 seconds in, bringing his consecutive point streak to 54 games and tying his career goals for second on the OSU all-time scoring list with 123.

But after OSU sophomore midfielder David Planning tied the game, 3-3, with 3:03 left in the first half, the Greyhounds took over. They took a 6-3 lead into halftime and never looking back.

After Loyola went on a 6-0 run, senior attacker Nick Liddil scored one final OSU goal with nine seconds left, but it wasn’t enough as the game ended, 9-4. Despite giving up nine goals, OSU’s junior goalkeeper Greg Dutton made a career-high 14 saves as the Greyhounds outshot the Buckeyes on the day, 41-23.

Dutton said the Buckeyes struggled to follow through with their game plan. “I thought we had a good game plan. We just didn’t execute it as we wanted to. Sometimes it’s just not your day,” Dutton said.

“Hopefully we’ll see these guys again and play better.”

Senior midfielder Dominique Alexander attributed the loss to OSU’s 16 turnovers.

“We know coming in we couldn’t turn the ball over,” Alexander said. “We also know coming in they were the defending national champions so they didn’t get that title for no reason. We knew we had to play better, and obviously we didn’t, so it’s kind of disappointing.”

Coach Nick Myers said he thought OSU’s defense performed well on the day, but the offense still has room to grow.

“Defensively, we played our scheme, and Greg did a great job for us in goal. Offensively, we have to (find) our identity,” Myers said. “We have to find the balance between generating quality shots and not being so reckless with the ball.”

OSU (6-3, 1-2) sits at fifth place in the ECAC with four conference games remaining in the season. Only the top four teams earn conference championship berths.

OSU is set to play Hobart Saturday at noon at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Today’s Birthday You’re no fool. Increase community activity with friends, siblings and neighbors. It keeps you connected, and communications thrive until June, when your energy shifts towards home improvement. Check insurance coverage, and stay flexible. It’s a year of personal expansion.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9 -- It could get foolish; work causes delays, so call if you’ll be late. Talk about money later. Consider what’s best for home and family, and work it out. Keep a sense of humor.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9 -- Think, then talk. Work on the big picture first. Your influence grows. The more you plan, the more you profit. Use your good judgment. Hold on to your money for now. Put energy into details.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is an 8 -- If you don’t find out, ask again. You’re in a state of disruption ... there’s some chaos. You look good, nonetheless.

Travel or send packages later. Visit a partner who provides inspiration. Assert your desires.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 9 -- Use your persuasive skills. Be brief, however, if it costs you money. Emotions are all over the map. There’s more work coming; pace it carefully, as there’s danger of breakage. It’s getting lovely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 9 -- Don’t gamble, discuss money or play the fool. Provide excellent service, and make a good impression.

Optimism enters the workplace, though costs may be higher than expected. Areas that seem stuck move later.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7 -- Controversy arises. Acknowledge considerations, and provide for others. Get a friend to intervene, if necessary.

PLEASE RECYCLE

4B

Make essential contacts. Put energy into creative projects, and test out the new playbook. Proceed with caution.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 -- You tend to overestimate your powers and underestimate costs. Everything seems possible. The more old projects that you finish, the more new ones arise. Pad the budget for the unexpected, and ask for help.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9 -- See friends later; work is busy. Be prepared to applaud your team. Past efforts represent you well. Think quickly while moving slowly. Conserve resources by sending someone else ahead. Talk is cheap. Press your advantage.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 -- There may be a setback or temporary confusion.

Accept enthusiastic coaching. Reassure someone who’s uncertain. Something planned is no longer necessary. Don’t mention everything you know or suspect, yet. Call in a favor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 -- Review details and postpone travel as complications arise. Pay an old debt, or put in a correction.

Acknowledgment comes from an unexpected direction. Notice your wealth, with gratitude. Career vistas and romance sparkle.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9 -- A distress call comes in. Use something you’ve been saving. Ask for more, and say please. Turn down an expensive invitation or risky proposition. Keep track of finances.

Slow and easy does it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 -- Don’t make expensive promises or believe everything. There’s another test: Challenge authority to get the truth. Keep pursuing a dream. It’s easy to work harmoniously with a partner. Sell an idea.

For Ravenel, he’ll never don an OSU uniform again.

“It is tough. You definitely don’t want to leave a place like Ohio State because it is an awesome place. The love and support you get here is second to none,” Ravenel said.

Never during OSU’s game against the Shockers did the concept that the season could end enter the mind of the players.

Not even when Wichita State got up by 20 points early on in the second half.

“Even though we were down by so many points, we still had the feeling that we were going to be OK,” Smith said.

“You think as long as you play, it’s not going to happen to you and you’re not going to lose the game.”

But OSU did lose the game, and with the loss, the minds of the 12 Buckeyes that dressed for the contest were clouded when asked to reflect on the season.

The Buckeyes finished 29-8, won the Big Ten Tournament and had an 11-game winning streak from mid-February until Saturday night. Thad Matta’s squad had four wins against top-10 teams this season: Michigan, Michigan State (twice) and Indiana.

All OSU players could mostly think about Saturday, though, was the loss, and moving forward.

“There’s a lot of positives, but at this

moment you don’t think about those,” Smith said. “Right now the only thing going through my head is that the season is over.”

Some already looked forward to next season. OSU loses just one player to graduation in Ravenel. Thomas, who said he going to “take some time” to make a decision on whether or not he’s coming back, could jump to the NBA. Everyone else is returning. Craft and Smith will be seniors. The four sophomores that carried OSU in recent stretches — Scott, Ross, Thompson and center Amir Williams — will be savvied veterans.

“For my teammates and brothers that are still going to be here, we have some work to do. It’s definitely a bad feeling right now, but we need to make sure that this doesn’t happen again next year,” Smith said.

The man that could wrap his head around what the Buckeyes accomplished this season was Matta, who sat in a red chair at the front of OSU’s locker room.

The coach smiled every time someone asked him to reflect on the past year.

“Everybody remembers the last game.

I’m not going to,” Matta said. “I’m going to remember this season, because I’m very, very proud of what these guys accomplished this year.”

The Ohio State softball team took the last win in a three-game series Sunday afternoon against Purdue at home, 5-3.

After a four-inning deadlock with the teams tied, 3-3, the Buckeyes hit back-to-back home runs in the 10th inning to grab their only win of the series.

The Buckeyes lost Friday afternoon, 4-2, and Saturday, 8-7.

“There was just no way we were going to let them beat us three times,” said sophomore infielder Maddy McIntyre, who hit her third home run of the year in Sunday’s extra inning.

Junior first baseman Evelyn Carrillo hit the

and they hit it, my team would have my back.”

The Buckeyes started off strong with two runs in the top of the first inning, only for the Boilermakers to tie things up by the bottom of the second inning.

OSU pulled ahead of the Boilermakers again in the top of the fifth as sophomore outfielder Taylor Watkins hit it out of the park.

But Carrillo is looking ahead and said she is ready for the series against Michigan next weekend.

“Rivalry, just blood, straight out blood. We’re going after them,” Carrillo said. “So we’re going out there with the mindset that we’re going to win, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

The Buckeyes are set to take on the No. 14 Wolverines starting on Friday at 6 p.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich.

other 10th-inning home run, her second of the year, and added 3 RBI in the game. Carrillo said it was satisfying to win the game with McIntyre.

“It feels awesome,” Carrillo said. “Maddy and I always talk about tag teaming, so I’m really happy that we were able to tag team this last inning and get two home runs for the team.”

The duo scored the first back-to-back home runs since former Buckeyes Alicia Herron and Sam Marder did in 2010.

Sophomore pitcher Olivia O’Reilly replaced redshirt junior Melanie Nichols in the bottom of the second inning and finished out the rest of the game only allowing one run.

O’Reilly said she depended on her teammates to finish out the game.

“I just knew I had my team behind me, they were making great defensive plays all day,” O’Reilly said. “I just knew if I put it on the plate

sports Buckeyes struggle to get on bases, fall to Spartans Elliot Schall Lantern reporter schall.21@osu.edu

Shelby lum / Lantern photographer

OSU then-redshirt junior second baseman Ryan Cypret bats during a game against Nebraska on April 15, 2012. OSU lost, 5-4.

Half from 1B fingers, yelled and screamed, doing anything to propel his players back into the game. That sense of urgency Matta hoped to instill into the Buckeyes during the previous timeout showed up late in the second half, but Wichita State always seemed to have an answer.

Sophomore guard Tekele Cotton hit a 3-pointer from the left corner as the shot clock was expiring after OSU had cut the deficit to three following a Ross 3-pointer. Cotton got an offensive rebound with 1:34 remaining and the score, 65-61, that allowed the Shockers to run critical seconds off the clock before freshman guard Fred VanVleet hit a layup with one minute to go.

The sense of desperation hurt the Buckeyes to an extent during the second half.

“We had dug ourselves in such a hole. We were compromising a lot of different things. They countered what we were doing,” Matta said.

Monday April 1, 2013

After splitting the first two games of a weekend series with Michigan State, the Ohio State baseball team lost the rubber match, 7-2, at Bill Davis Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Senior pitcher Brian King was on the hill for the first seven innings for the Buckeyes. He gave up four earned runs on eight hits. The loss was King’s third, bringing his record to 4-3 and his ERA to 3.13.

Spartans sophomore pitcher Mick VanVossen pitched a shutout until the ninth inning, but then gave up two earned runs on seven hits in the bottom of the ninth.

OSU coach Greg Beals gave VanVossen credit for his outing.

“He pitched well. He just seemed to work up and down and did a good job at that,” Beals said. “We hit some hard hits at him but yet we were shutout for eight straight innings.”

The Buckeyes scattered seven hits and it wasn’t until the sixth inning that they were able to get a man on base with no outs. MSU scored its first run in the top of the

Bad half or not, OSU’s players said the never doubted they weren’t going to make a comeback and win the game.

“In the huddle, we tried to keep our spirits up.

We were believing in ourselves, trying to believe in ourselves,” Thomas said. “Coach said, (the shots) are going to fall. They’re going to fall. Just be patient.”

When the finally did start to drop, it was too late, and OSU has one poor half of basketball to blame for its season coming to a close.

“It was a bad half and it cost us the game,” redshirt senior forward Evan Ravenel said. “We dug ourselves a hole and could not get out of it.”

For Ravenel, his career as a Buckeye is over.

For the rest of OSU — with the possible exception of Thomas who might leave for the NBA — next season can’t come fast enough.

“We just have to come back stronger next year, that’s the only thing you can think of right now,” Ross said.

second and added three more in the third, putting the Spartans ahead, 4-0. In the sixth inning, MSU scored two more runs as the Buckeyes continue to fail in their attempts to score.

With OSU down six runs, senior shortstop Kirby Pellant reached base on a bunt hit down the first base line in the seventh inning, but the Buckeyes weren’t able to do anything with it.

Pellant fractured his finger laying down a bunt earlier in the season.

In the top of the eighth, MSU scored its seventh and final run of the game, bringing their lead to 7-0.

The Buckeyes finally scored in the bottom of the ninth when freshman third baseman Jacob Bosiokovic’s single scored sophomore outfielder Pat Porter, the first Buckeye in the game to make it to second base.

With two-outs and runners on first and third, redshirt senior first baseman Brad Hallberg had a base hit that scored redshirt junior outfielder Mike Carroll.

Redshirt senior outfielder Joe Ciamacco reached on a fielder’s choice, but the game ended without another run, leaving the final score at 7-2.

Redshirt senior second baseman Ryan Cypret said MSU simply played better than the Buckeyes.

“We barreled up a lot of balls and I think we just got a little bit unlucky,” Cypret said. “I don’t think the scoreboard really reflected how good our at-bats were, but I think they just outplayed us.”

Friday night, the Buckeyes fell against the Spartans, 8-7.

After the Buckeyes scored two runs in the second inning, the Spartans tied the score at 5-5 in the sixth. MSU added another four runs in the top of the eighth and OSU added one in the bottom of the inning, but without either team scoring in the ninth, the Spartans won by one.

OSU, though, took the Saturday afternoon game, 8-3. The Buckeyes scored their eight runs on 12 hits, while redshirt senior pitcher Brad Goldberg allowed two earned runs and struck out two MSU batters.

The series brings OSU to 16-8 on the year and 4-2 in Big Ten play.
