LOS ANGELES — For at least the first 20 minutes of play, the defects that often doomed Ohio State during a rocky midseason stretch in February seemed to show in glimpses Thursday night at the Staples Center. In their Sweet 16 bout against Arizona, the Buckeyes veered away from the type of play that had gotten them to Los Angeles and leaned on the skill of junior forward Deshaun Thomas, the team’s and Big Ten’s leading scorer. Enter LaQuinton Ross, whose swift flick of the wrist likely made him the most-talked about person in Columbus. Thanks to the sophomore forward’s 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds to play, OSU won the game, 73-70, and will play in the Elite 8 for the second consecutive year. “This is what every player grows up looking at on TV and wants to hit that big shot, wants to win the game and hit the big shot in the NCAA Tournament or the NBA,” Ross said. “It just feels great to be here right now.” It was the second game in a row a late 3-pointer has lifted the Buckeyes. Just last week, junior guard Aaron Craft, OSU’s defensive heart and soul (and a 30 percent 3-point shooter) buried a game-winning shot en route to 18 points, vaulting the Buckeyes past Iowa State in Dayton Sunday. In some ways, Thursday felt like deja vu. But for parts of the first half, even being in the position to win seemed unlikely. While OSU opened the game’s scoring with a

Guys were being selfish, guys were hugged up on their man, not helping each other out, getting into gaps and tagging,” said Thomas, who finished the night with a game-high 20 points. “I don’t know what it was. It was probably just the heat of the moment. Everybody was just too excited.”
Quickly, Arizona coach Sean Miller and the Wildcats took advantage. After falling the victim to an early, furious 10-2 run, the Buckeyes fell behind, 10-4, with 15:46 to play in the period. Behind Arizona senior guard Mark Lyons and his

LUKE STIRTON Lantern reporter stirton.2@osu.edu Some say the Ohio State University Airport might see an increased safety risk due to federal funding cuts to its air traffic control tower. OSU’s airport at 2160 W. Case Road in northwest Columbus is just one of 149 Federal Aviation Administration airports across the nation scheduled to lose funding for its air traffic control towers following the implementation of a sequestration plan by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration. The four-week phase-out of funding is scheduled to begin on April 7. “The FAA pays the cost of providing air traffic control tower operations through a contractor,” said Jennifer Cowley, associate dean of academic affairs and administration at the OSU College of Engineering. “The approximate cost of this service is $650,000 per year.” Doug Hammon, director of operations at OSU Airport, said the sequestration plan, implemented by the federal government to reduce costs, has had a significant impact on airports across the country, particularly in terms of air traffic control. “What they say (about the sequestration plan) is that it is to reduce costs, that’s the bottom line,” Hammon said. “(The FAA was) told they had to cut their budget by a certain percent and they said, ‘OK, let’s cut air traffic control.’ There were other areas that were cut too, but air traffic control took a big hit.” An original list of 173 airports were scheduled to have the funding for their air traffic control towers cut,

The OSU Airport is scheduled to lose funding for its air traffic control towers. but that number was reduced to 149 and released on March 22. OSU’s airport was on the list, despite an administrative appeal the university made. Cowley said OSU has worked with representatives in Washington, D.C., and asked for their support on an amendment introduced by Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran and others to the Senate Continuing Funding Resolution that aimed to stop the funding cut to air traffic control towers. The amendment was introduced on March 13, however, it was blocked. The OSU airport air traffic control tower coordinates
about 70,000 operations annually, including the takeoff, landing and ground controls of corporate, personal and student aircraft. While it would not make operations impossible, closing the tower could increase accident risk, especially with the wide range of flying abilities, Hammon said. “Our concern is that we have a lot of traffic and a big range of pilot ability,” Hammon said. “We have more experienced pilots all the way to student pilots, so it’s nice to have that level of comfort that the air traffic control tower provides.” For students involved in the university’s aviation program, the air traffic control tower provides real-world experience for those hoping to pilot aircraft professionally, Cowley said. “Having an operating air traffic control tower enhances the experience of our students,” Cowley said. “They are able to gain experience interacting with control tower operators much like they would when they become professional pilots working for commercial airlines.” Two students in OSU’s aviation program declined to comment on the issue. According to a March 22 press release, the university will fund tower operations into May in order to “avoid service disruption to our flight education students as well as the numerous corporate and private operators that use the airport on a regular basis.” The university also said it will await further instructions from the FAA before making decisions about the possible closure of the air traffic control tower but is considering options that could result in keeping the tower open.
Some colleges sue when loans go unpaid ALICE BACANI Lantern reporter bacani.2@osu.edu Americans owe about $1 trillion in student loans, and some universities are taking a forceful course of action to get payment. According to multiple sources, schools such as Yale University, University of Pennsylvania and George Washington University have sued their graduates for failure to pay loans. Some of the students targeted are recipients of federal Perkins loans, which are low-interest student loans for those with financial need. About 500,000 Perkins loans are awarded annually, according to “Time Magazine.” Perkins loans differ from other federal loans because the loan is administered by the university and paid for with federal funds, rather than other federal student loans that are only funded by the Department of Education. “It’s the institution’s responsibility to collect Perkins loans,” said Virginia Layton, Ohio State’s director of financial services.
Layton said OSU awarded more than 2,000 Perkins loans in the last academic year, which totaled $5.7 million in Perkins loans. For OSU graduates that default on a loan payment, what happens is not entirely up to the university. If a Perkins loan is more than 12 months delinquent on a payment, Layton said the Office of Financial Services is required to send the case to the Ohio Attorney General’s office to decide how to best collect that payment. From there, some cases are sent to a “special counsel,” and the Ohio Attorney General office can take legal action if needed. Layton said only a “small number” of graduates have been sent to the “special counsel.” Layton did not know if or how many OSU graduates have been sent to court, however in a Monday interview with The Lantern OSU President E. Gordon Gee said less than 1 percent of OSU students default on their loans. OSU students must participate in an entrance interview before they are given a Perkins loan and an exit interview after they graduate in an effort to ensure students understand the responsibility of the loan.
Some OSU students owe $5.7M in student loans OSU awarded more than 2,000 Perkins loans in the last academic year, totaling $5.7 million in loan debt for students. When a student is more than 12 months delinquent on a payment, the bursar’s office is required to turn the case over to the Ohio Attorney General’s office to determine the best methods of collecting the payment.

“We do our best to educate students about their Perkins loan repayment responsibilities while there are here,” Layton said. “We work with them to help them remember it is their responsibility to make the Perkins loan payment(s) on time.” Kate Riegel, a fourth-year in marketing, is set to graduate this May with subsidized, unsubsidized and Perkins loans. She did not disclose the amount of loans she will graduate with but said it will take her about 10 years to finish paying. “I think (sueing is) a very drastic measure,” Riegel said. “I think from their point of view, if they’re not getting their money, they have to do
something about it, but I feel like there are better steps than suing.” Erin Gerber graduated in June 2012 with a degree in biology and now works for the nonprofit Christian organization Young Life. Gerber, who graduated with $28,000 of subsidized and unsubsidized student loans, said it will take her about 10 years to pay off. She said she thinks graduates should be penalized for not paying loans on time, but suing is not the answer. “Suing them is not going to help the situation, because that will put them in even more debt which means they will struggle even more to pay back their loans,” she said.

campus OSU students gather to display research, ideas at forum michele theodore Lantern reporter theodore.13@osu.edu For the 18th year, more than 700 students studying dance, English, biology and almost everything in between met to share ideas and compete for awards. The Denman Undergraduate Research Forum showcased students who presented their work from a variety of fields after months, sometimes years, of work. Each undergraduate presented his or her academic findings on a poster and was critiqued by three judges during Thursday’s program at the RPAC. “Every spring we have this forum,” said Allison Snow, director of the Undergraduate Research Office and a biology professor. “A lot of (the student researchers) are in science, but not all. People are studying all kinds of things.” While some people think research is primarily conducted at a graduate level, Snow said research is valuable to every academic level and the undergraduates conducting the projects.
“For students to do it, it’s part of your education and part of trying out a career and learning some new skills and setting yourself apart so you can be more competitive after you graduate,” she said. Vicki Pitstick, a program manager of the University Honors and Scholars Center, said presenting research is invaluable to students. “Coming to the Denman allows students a chance for their research to be seen, which is really important because they’ve put so much time and effort into it,” Pitstick said. “They have a place to come and display it and gain public speaking skills, networking skills and it’s a really social place to be.” Students stood by their posters throughout the day to present their findings to judges, professors and the public. Samantha Stoklosa presented her research about brown-headed cowbirds and cardinals after working on the project for two years. A fourth-year in forestry, fisheries and wildlife, she said conducting research has been very valuable to her. “I’m a big bird enthusiast and I want to go to graduate school and do research,” Stoklosa said. “I’m so lucky that I’ve gotten to go to research conferences like this.”
Timothy Hill, a fifth-year in drawing and painting, examined the meaning of painting in contemporary and personal contexts. “I wanted to better understand the field I was partaking in,” Hill said. “I think it’s great to do research and get your foot in early.” Awards for first, second and third place were presented to the best research studies done in each topical category, including engineering, humanities, and art and architecture among others. Projects were judged on poster presentation, oral presentation and research achievement. Cash prizes were awarded. Karla Trott, a lecturer in landscape architecture, was a judge at the Denman this year and critiqued the research projects. Judges range from OSU faculty members, doctoral students and corporate professionals. “I’m impressed with the level of thought,” Trott said. “A lot of research was well thought-out and you could tell that (the students) had taken their time.” The Denman Undergraduate Research Forum was hosted by the Undergraduate Research Office, the University Honors and Scholars Center and the Office of Research.
Conference aims to integrate technology into classroom liz dickey Lantern reporter dickey.88@osu.edu

Jim Groom, keynote speaker for OSU’s annual Innovate conference.
Ohio State’s annual Innovate conference focused on using technology to engage students in the greater global classroom. More than 400 people were registered for the conference Tuesday and Wednesday, and Michael Hofherr, OSU associate vice president for the Office of Distance Education and eLearning, said more than 500 people attended. The Innovate keynote speaker, Jim Groom, is an adjunct professor and the director of the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. Groom has made it his mission to give every incoming freshman his or her own domain and web hosting space on a third-party site called “UMW Blogs” to experiment with throughout his or her college experience, he said. Students are able to include these blogs on resumes and will not lose the domain name after graduation. “You would be at OSU, you would do great stuff, you would have an archive, and you would move on. That would be a trajectory of your life, traced through this domain,” Groom said. “That was the vision. That the domain is a name space where you would develop your identity online.” Hofherr said this is something that OSU is looking into. The blogs would be provided by a third party but would be
hosted through WordPress, similar to the Mary Washington model. “Our goal is to have web space available for every classroom and every student,” Hofherr said. One of the sessions held on the first day of the Innovate conference featured a three-student panel focused on some technology challenges students face in the classroom. One of the student panelists, Courtney Kasuboski, a fourth-year in industrial and systems engineering, said she thinks technology has shortened our attention spans. “Class needs to give me something I cannot find on the Internet,” Kasuboski said. Now certain OSU courses are available on the Internet through iTunes U, one of the learning technologies discussed through a panel session at OSU’s Innovate conference. Astronomy professor Richard Pogge’s “Life in the Universe” course is one of the more than 15 OSU courses available for free on iTunes U. Pogge said he received an email from a military lieutenant and his crew about the iTunes U astronomy lectures. The crew had been listening to the lectures while on patrol in Iraq. “I have got everybody from lifelong learners to students learning this material,” Pogge said. “It makes our classroom the entire world.” The Innovate conference was held at the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center at 2201 Fred Taylor Drive on OSU’s West Campus. More than 30 sessions were held over the two-day span.

10 first-half points, the Wildcats shot 50 percent from the field and, in particular, used a lethal 3-point assault to stave off a Buckeye squad that struggled to find momentum. Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, became a lone pillar for stability as his teammates’ jump shots clanked off the iron and their layups clunked off the backboard. But despite Arizona sinking 63 percent of shots from behind the arc, OSU coach Thad Matta and his crew trotted into halftime down just 38-34, thanks to Thomas and his 16-point outburst in the first period. Having been outscored, outshot and perhaps generally outplayed in the first half against the Wildcats, Thomas said Matta had a singular and simple message. “Coach said do what we do at halftime,” he said, “and that’s what we did.” Craft relayed a similar message. “Our biggest focus was we needed to play better defense,” Craft said. “We gave up 38 points in a half and we haven’t done that too often this year. We got stops and we got easy buckets in transition and that’s where we’re at our best. It really kind of fuels our offense. Layups, dunks, mismatches, scramble situations.” It didn’t take long for OSU to pick up its level of play. The Buckeyes roared out of the gates on a 10-0 run thanks to sophomore forward Sam Thompson, junior guards Lenzelle Smith Jr. and Craft and even sophomore center Amir Williams — who swatted away a shot on one end of the floor before snatching a rebound over two defenders and going up for the jam on the other. Conversely, in that span, Arizona found scoring to be a more troubling endeavor than it was in the first half. In fact, the Wildcats wouldn’t make a basket until freshman forward Brandon Ashley connected on a short jumper a the 14:40 mark of the second. The struggles didn’t end there, either, as Arizona could only muster five points the first nine minutes of the second period and trailed the Buckeyes by as many as 10 after leading all but 33 seconds in the first half. The Wildcats responded, cutting the OSU lead to 60-57 after Lyons buried a trey with 6:33 to play. With 21.8 seconds to play, Lyons tied the game at 70 after making a driving layup despite being fouled, then making the ensuing free throw.

OSU sophomore guard Shannon Scott (3) goes for a layup at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. OSU won, 73-70. It was not enough to overcome Ross — the Buckeyes’ hero — who surged late to score 14 of his 17 total points in the game’s final eight minutes. The Buckeyes have had a revolving door of second scoring options that have played sidekicks to Thomas’ usually steady production. And while his aid came late, Smith said the flavor-of-the-day approach to who will compliment Thomas is a blessing rather than a curse. “That’s such a good thing about this team, you never know who’s gonna step up and be that guy in next game,” he said. “It’s been a knock on us all year. We don’t have offense, you know, we don’t have that second scorer. Well, I mean, I can’t tell at this point, we’re finding guys to make shots.” The Buckeyes (29-7) are set to play No. 9 seed Wichita State Saturday in the Elite 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 7:05 p.m.

campus Students react to scandal within Columbus City Schools ALEXANDRIA CHAPIN Lantern reporter chapin.39@osu.edu As news continues to break involving the Columbus City Schools’ data altering, The Columbus Dispatch reporters who first broke the story continue to reveal the truth about the situation. But some of the district’s affiliates and alumni at Ohio State aren’t happy about their coverage. Columbus City School principals were directed to change data to improve the state report card by altering attendance records and withdrawing students who were not preforming to standards, then re-enrolling them, according to The Columbus Dispatch. “The principals had been basically told to cheat, to go in and change the data to improve the state report card,” said Bill Bush, a Columbus Dispatch reporter, during a March 22 presentation to OSU journalism students. The series of stories Bush and Jennifer Smith Richards have written on the scandal are known as “Counting Kids Out.” “This story was probably a long time growing but we didn’t know it was this big,” said Dispatch reporter Smith Richards. Bush and Smith Richards requested data from the
district to find out how many students’ records had been manipulated, including grade logs to see what administrators were changing grades to help students graduate . The Ohio Department of Education began investigating the schools shortly after the first story was published in the Dispatch in June, followed by the state auditor and the FBI. Jacqueline Baumann, a fifth-year in strategic communication and a Columbus City Schools graduate, said she had inaccuracies in her attendance records and transcripts after applying to OSU. “I missed six classes and nothing was held against me,” Baumann said. “They would call my house and say, ‘Your student wasn’t in class today,’ but that was it.” Baumann said she was not at all surprised that the data manipulation became public. “The data didn’t match up so it makes sense to investigate,” Baumann said. Nora Gerber, a third-year in public affairs and Spanish and a graduate of Columbus Alternative High School, said that despite the controversy she still supports the school system and plans to send her children there someday. “I do know that the superintendent of Columbus City Schools has done great things whether she made these discrepancies or not,” Gerber said.

A Columbus Dispatch report states Columbus City School administrators were directed to alter attendance records to improve their state report card. she plans to retire in July. Her contract isn’t set to expire until mid-2014. And Gerber said the district is still filled with passionate teachers. “I trust my teachers as teachers and as people. Although this looks badly, I don’t want anyone to think about Columbus City (Schools) differently,” Gerber said. OSU associate English professor Elizabeth Hewitt has a son in the Columbus City School system and said the school’s report card would not dictate where she sent her children to school. “I’m of mixed minds about those school gradings,”
Hewitt said. “I think they tend to punish schools that have lower income kids.” Although Hewitt said the school grade card does not matter to her, she knows it matters to other parents. Hewitt said she believes there was purposeful misrepresentation on the schools’ part, however she doesn’t think The Dispatch was motivated by good intentions. “As a mom, I’m really mad at The Dispatch,” Hewitt said. “I feel like they constantly trash Columbus City Schools, and it ultimately hurts our kids.” Hewitt said The Dispatch’s reporting could lead to the levy failing, which will negatively affect the students. Hewitt also said The Dispatch sensationalized the coverage of Columbus City Schools, however Smith Richards said the facts are in the data. “The truth is, we can point to the numbers and say ‘no, this happened,’” Smith Richards said. The state auditor began to investigate the whole state of Ohio, and since then nine school districts have been implicated of similar data manipulation, including Toledo City Schools. Smith Richards said there is a possibility of criminal indictments for those involved in data manipulation. “Nobody wants to believe that their schools were cheating … that their school isn’t as good as that report card says they are,” Smith Richards said.
Student sends threatening text after sex toy dangled in face KAYLA BYLER Design editor byler.18@osu.edu A male staff member reported menacing at Park-Stradley Hall early Tuesday morning. A Park-Stradley staff member notified police after becoming aware of a situation where one resident sent a second resident a text message “stating he felt like he could stab a fellow student (a third Park-Stradley resident) … with his exacto knife,” according to an Ohio State Police report. Resident 1, the student who sent the message, harbors an ongoing dislike for Resident 3, stemming from an incident where Resident 3 “dangled a sex toy (dildo) in front of his face when they first met,” according to the report. Resident 2, the student who received the text message, said he also received several other messages from Resident 1 containing
threats directed toward Resident 3 that made him fear for the safety of himself and Resident 3. A Park-Stradley staff member met with Resident 1 in the presence of a police officer. The student appeared nervous and emotional, according to the report. The incident was referred to Student Conduct, and Resident 1 was advised to not make further contact with the other two students and was told that his actions could be considered criminal, according to the report. An attempted theft of an auto and a theft from an auto occurred at the Sisson Hall parking lot, located near 1900 Coffey Road this week. A male staff member reported the attempted theft of auto on Tuesday at about 3:20 p.m. The rear window of his truck was broken out and the steering column peeled, a total of $3,000 in damages. A yellow-handled flat-head screwdriver was found on the scene
and processed for fingerprints, but none were found, according to a University Police report. A female student reported the theft of her catalytic converter, valued at $2,500, from her 2002 Toyota 4-Runner parked in the Sisson Hall lot on Tuesday at about 8:30 a.m. A male student reported assault at the RPAC on Monday at about 5 p.m. The motivation of the perpetrator was unknown, according to a University Police report. Twenty-two total thefts were reported on OSU’s campus from March 21 to Thursday. In addition, there were five incidents of disorderly conduct and two occurrences of criminal damaging.

Columbus pops tags at Rag-O-Rama shop Matthew Lovett Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu

When searching for a place to find an assortment of clothing beyond what most retail shops stock, one option in the campus area is Rag-O-Rama. Rag-O-Rama was established just north of campus at 3301 N. High St. in 1996, with two goals in mind: to encourage people to “recycle their wardrobe” in order to keep textiles from flowing into landfills and to provide affordable clothing to students and the community. “Rag-O-Rama started primarily, due to the fact that with there being so many students, as an opportunity to solve the problem of all the textiles that are in the landfills, which is usually clothing, and to also offer clothing for an affordable price to the students in the area,” said Lauren Goodburn, store manager of the Columbus Rag-O-Rama shop. Rag-O-Rama is not like most thrift shops, which are largely nonprofit and rely on donated goods in order to have products to sell. Rag-O-Rama is a resale shop, purchasing clothes from customers who come into the store to sell their wardrobe. Tyler Guidry, a registered buyer at Rag-O-Rama, said he has to explain the business behind Rag-ORama to first-time customers who suffer stickershock from the store’s expensive prices, in relation to other used-clothing stores. Rag-O-Rama tries to purchase clothes from sellers for a fair price that can be translated to the customers, Guidry said. “Everyone’s first thing that they’re going to think of is, ‘Oh, you guys are a thrift store.’ We’re not a thrift store, we’re a resale shop,” Guidry said. “We have to make the sellers happy. We also have to make the people who are purchasing the items happy.” Nowadays, Goodburn said nonprofit thrift stores might not necessarily be cheaper than Rag-O-Rama.

Customers browse the aisles at Rag-O-Rama, located at 3301 N. High St. “There are a lot of items in thrift stores now that are actually more expensive than if you were to come to Rag-O-Rama and grab them,” Goodburn said, such as designer purses as an example. Goodburn also added that this is something she has noticed from her own experience of visiting thrift stores. “It’s a new trend that has developed especially here in Columbus in the last few years.” Such seems to be the case not only with the thrift stores, but in regards to mall shops as well. Guidry
said Rag-O-Rama is a sort of a “middle man” that filters through sellers’ wardrobes in order to provide the store the best-suited clothing to sell. Jeans that often sell for $250 brand new are sold lightly used at Rag-O-Rama for less than $100, Guidry said. When it comes to purchasing clothes, buyers pay the closest attention to the condition of the garments.

“The Place Beyond the Pines” is a movie you’d probably have to see three or four times to really “get it.” It most likely deviates completely from what you’d expect upon catching its preview or looking at its poster. It’s a movie that commands your attention, that you mustn’t watch passively. If you want to go to the theater just to admire Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper or Eva Mendes, its beautiful stars, don’t waste your money. On that note, Gosling looks like a druggedout version of Nick Carter, and Mendes looks old and exhausted in the film anyway. Caitlin Essig The film is told in three parts, which could essig.21@osu.edu be disorienting if you miss something, but director Derek Cianfrance’s vision works here. This three-part dynamic, which Cianfrance referred to as a “triptych” in an interview with Flavorwire, does make the film hard to review without giving away major spoilers. Gosling stars as Luke, a motorcycle rider in a traveling circus, who quits his job when he finds out his ex-lover, Romina (played by Mendes), had given birth to his child, Jason, who is now a 1-year-old. Cooper plays rookie police officer Avery Cross, who, when he first comes across Luke, also has a 1-year-old son, named AJ. He enters about 45 minutes into the movie, and the middle of the film is dedicated mainly to Avery’s story as he rises in the ranks of a corruption-ridden police department. The 17-year-old versions of Jason and AJ are played by Dane DeHaan and Emory Cohen, respectively, and the roles are perfectly cast. The boys’ stories are the final focus in “Pines.” It would be easy to spoil the entire plot, as it constantly jumps between so many exciting moments. But half of the fun is watching everything unfold onscreen. The beginning of the film is a bit rushed. We’re barely even introduced to Luke and his lifestyle before he suddenly quits his job for Romina, who we hardly know before she springs the news of Luke’s child on him, and on us. We aren’t given the chance to relate to Luke before he suddenly starts crying. It’s hard to properly react when we lack a connection to the character. In line with the rushed beginning, Luke quickly goes from homeless to employed and living in a trailer provided to him by a stranger named Robin who he meets while riding his motorcycle through the woods. Seriously? This does however, introduce one of the film’s most likeable and well-cast actors, Ben Mendelsohn. His character Robin is dirty, simple and owns a vehicle repair shop. He is kind with a wild edge and helps Luke as he pursues bankrobbing as a way to pay to support Jason. Perhaps one of the best scenes in the film is Luke and Robin’s first hold-up. It’s an adrenaline-packed moment that makes the audience members’ hearts race

‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ told in 3 parts, offers much for viewers

Ryan Gosling as Luke in ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ holds his character’s son Jason (played by Tony Pizza). The film is set to open in Columbus March 29. right along with Luke’s. I felt like I had just robbed a bank, watching the rushed, suspenseful scene, and I could relate completely when Luke’s reaction upon reaching safety was to vomit. After the robbery, Luke surprises Romina with the money from the heist, in a 1980s, John Hughes-esque moment as he waits for her at her car when she gets off work. This leads into one of the film’s many unanswered questions. Romina and Luke are lying in bed in one scene, then she’s back with her boyfriend in the next. There is no explanation for why Romina temporarily chooses Luke. Another loose end comes from Avery’s role. As a police offer, he works to expose corruption in the department, but as the film jumps around, we never really find out what happens to the department, if anything. Overall, the film is confusing at times, but it delivers. It’s unlike any film I’ve ever seen — compacting multiple intersecting plot lines and managing to be a heist film, a romance and a case study on father-son relationships, legacy and what it means to be a man all at once. It’s packed with thrilling action but at the same time has moments of calm recognition and everyday life. It’s as simple as it is complex — a paradox that unfolds beautifully. “The Place Beyond the Pines” is most likely a film viewers will either love or hate. And that impression can change in the days or weeks after seeing it for the first time. But its 140 minutes of screen time are truly original and cinematically beautiful. The film is set to open select theaters, including Columbus, Friday. Grade: A-

[ a +e ] Moe’s Grill a refreshing alternative to Chipotle burritos Margaret Mecklenborg Lantern reporter mecklenborg.2@osu.edu With friendly faces to greet you as you walk through the door, Moe’s Southwest Grill is a place with a delicious Mexican cuisine menu complimented by a modern and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant, which opened March 7 in Columbus, is located at 1305 W. Lane Ave., just past Carmack Road. When I first walked into Moe’s, I was greeted with a cheerful “Welcome to Moe’s.” The employees seemed friendly as I walked up to the counter to place my order. I first noticed that the restaurant had a Chipotle-style setup, where you go down the line and tell the workers what ingredients you want on your burrito. As I looked at the large menu that hung on the wall, I noticed that each food item had a unique name. There are four choices of full-sized burritos: the Homewrecker, Joey Bag of Donuts and Art Vandalay. Moe’s also offers a variety of other Mexican foods with memorable names and different reasonably priced combinations, such as quesadillas ($4.99 to $7.89), nachos ($6.49 to $7.99), stacks ($7.49 to $8.99), salads ($6.29 to $7.79), tacos ($2.99 to $3.89) and burrito bowls ($6.49 to $7.99). I decided to order the Homewrecker with ground beef ($7.49), switching up my usual meat choice of chicken. My friend ordered a John Coctostan Quesadilla with chicken ($6.69), which is a quesadilla with any of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients. While chips and salsa are free, the cashier asked if we would like to add a 22 oz. drink and a side of queso or guacamole for $2.69. We both added the combination on and our meals together came to $19.56.

At Moe’s Southwest Grill, you can order the Homewrecker burrito with ground beef for $7.49. After we cashed out, we went over to the salsa bar which had five different salsas ranging from mild to insanely hot. I chose the insanely hot and my friend chose the mild salsa. There was also a Coca-Cola digital soda machine with a touch screen and numerous Coke products offered. I drank regular lemonade while my friend chose strawberry lemonade. We found a comfortable booth near a window, where we could see several televisions. I was very satisfied once I sank my teeth into my Homewrecker. The ground beef was seasoned nicely, and the crunchy lettuce and onion
and label of the garment are accounted for. For instance, slimmer fit, softer-feel T-shirts are priced higher. Heavyweight T-shirts are priced lower. “Guys want shirts that are fitting them,” Guidry said. “If it’s a boxy or a heavyweight T-shirt, it’s still going to sell because not every guy wears the same type of T-shirt, but you’re going to take that into consideration when you’re pricing it.” Most of the time, sellers are satisfied but occasionally ask why their items might not be taken, Guidry said.

complimented the creamy guacamole, cheese and sour cream. The rice in the burrito was cooked perfectly. I also added chopped jalapeños to the burrito, which added a nice kick. The chips were not as thick as Chipotle’s but were seasoned nicely with salt. The guacamole had chopped cilantro, onion and some type of delicious seasoning added. The queso was so creamy and warm. It really complimented my spicy burrito. My friend said that his quesadilla was pretty good, but the chicken was a bit dry. He also said he would classify Moe’s as Taco Bell meets Chipotle with fresh ingredients.
first-time sellers come up to the buying counter with him so they have a better idea of the types of items they decide to buy from them and why. “We take consideration of the style of the garment, more so than the label (brand),” Goodburn said. “We try to still have those cutting-edge items as well.” The style of clothing at Rag-O-Rama is the big attraction for Sylvia Collard, a firstyear in marketing. Collard has found “cool, ‘50s, ‘60s vintage dresses” at Rag-O-Rama
I was very impressed by the service at Moe’s. As we were finishing up our meal, the manager, Nathaniel Bates, came over and asked us how everything was and if we wanted more chips and salsa. He was very friendly, and I asked him how Moe’s compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area such as Qdoba and Chipotle. “We have a much more vibrant environment,” Bates said. “When everybody comes in, we try and make them feel welcome and comfortable. The whole thing is that we have way more selection. Everything is customized. We don’t charge for chips, we don’t rush you out and we want people to stay as long as they want.” But Ryan Richardson, manager at the campusarea Chipotle located at 1726 N. High St., said one thing was missing from Moe’s. “In the fast food industry, they don’t have naturally raised food. Our veggies are organically grown, our cheese and sour cream come from dairy cows that aren’t given hormones,” he said. “That’s all a big deal to people now. People are trying to eat healthy. I still think we’re going to do well even with other competitors because we offer healthy food options that people love.” Despite this, Moe’s also offers hormone-free and gluten-free food. Bates said Moe’s Southwest Grill will celebrate its grand opening April 18, and the chain hopes to open 14 new locations locally in the next couple of years. “We are planning to put one on High Street right there on campus,” Bates said. “The time is not set but we are looking towards next football season to open that one up.” Moe’s is also currently working on accepting BuckIDs, Bates said.

She brought in a bag full of shirts, shoes, dresses and belts to the store. Although the store only bought one dress and pair of shoes, Collard said she was happy with the price she got for them. Rag-O-Rama is currently buying clothes for spring, as well as winter and fall in men’s wear.
Columbus holds the original Rag-ORama location, but there are also Atlanta and Sandy Springs, Ga., locations. Goodburn said there is also a location in the works in Tempe, Arizona . “Our main goal is not to expand as fast as we can, our goal it to put quality shops in areas we think need it,” Goodburn said. “It is a little bit spaced out, but if we find a location that would be suitable for the Rag-O-Rama brand, then we look into putting a store there.”

[ a +e ] Meaning of life, other big questions debated at Veritas Forum event Shahed Al-asadi Lantern reporter al-asadi.3@osu.edu

The OSU Photo League’s exhibit, ‘Hashtag Your Publicly Private Life’ is set to open April 4 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.
OSU photo exhibit to hashtag art Amanda Carberry Lantern reporter carberry.8@osu.edu A new Ohio State exhibit, sponsored by the OSU Photo League, will take hashtags to a new level. “The hashtags (will be) the themes of the event, they work as kind of inspirational or categorical (guidelines),” said Mary Jane Mouangsavanh, a fourth-year in fine arts and president of the OSU Photo League. The hashtags include: #Paranoia, #Fragments, #OverSharing, #Power-Outage and #Missed-Communications. Submissions for the show, “Hashtag your Publicly Private Life,” can be dropped off Monday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Hopkins Hall Room 366. It costs $3 for one submission, $5 for two, and $7 for three. The exhibit is set to open Thursday at 7 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. Assistant art professors Jessica Mallios and Aspen Mays founded OSU Photo League last September and co-advise it now. “We are a brand new facility, we started in the fall and we were approached by students who really wanted something like this. And we decided to co-advise and work with them,” Mallios said. The group’s first exhibition’s theme, “Beginnings,” which looked at what constitutes an origin, had more broad instructions with little restrictions. The guidelines for this show are narrower but still intend to get participants in the mindset of what they are looking for, Mouangsavanh said. The submitters of the top four photographs will each earn a $50 gift card to Columbus Camera Group, one of the three camera shop sponsors. Photographer and Columbus College of Art and Design faculty member Shannon Benine is set to jury the exhibition and will speak at the opening. Being in the show is a good resume builder for students, Mouangsavanh said, adding that even making it into the
exhibition is an accomplishment because an accredited curator chooses the work. Mays agreed, saying it was a great opportunity for students to develop a professional practice and experience being in a professional art exhibition. “I think it’s a great way for students in the Photo League to gain experience in putting together exhibitions, showing their work and engaging in a broader conversation with the university,” Mays said in an email. Being that we live in such a technologically dependent world, where people don’t really communicate outside of text messages, members of the league wanted to explore technology and what it means to the photographers, Mouangsavanh said. Donations from sponsors such as Midwest Photo Exchange, World of Used Photography, Columbus Camera Group and AT&T help make the exhibition technologically advanced to go along with the theme. AT&T provided the league with Bluetooth speakers and a photo booth where individuals use their own smart phone as the camera. Mini tripods and shutter release triggers that are made for smart phones will be available as well for use in the photo booth at the exhibit. Also through AT&T the league acquired Zinc GL10, a wireless Bluetooth printer that uses color crystals that are in the paper instead of ink to print directly, Mouangsavanh said. The event programs will be digital too. There will be a “QRcode” that a smart phone can scan and will take you to a website that has a program about the exhibit. “It’s almost like a virtual gallery,” Mouangsavanh said. The exhibition is open to undergraduate and graduate students. For the Beginnings” exhibit last semester there were around 65 submissions, and only 28 were accepted. At the exhibit, there will be a raffle for a $150 tripod that Midwest Photo Exchange donated to the Photo League. Tickets for the raffle cost $1 each. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church is located at 30 W. Woodruff Ave. Announcements and prizes will start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and the exhibit is set to run through April 10.
Life, said Satyan Devadoss, is like ice cream. They’re both “messy and gorgeous at the same time.” Devadoss, an associate professor of mathematics at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., explained to more than 1,000 Ohio State students gathered in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom at the Ohio Union on Wednesday night that college was the time to focus on the big questions in life. “What is the truth? Is there God? What is the meaning of life? And to me, most importantly, why are Ugg boots so popular?” Devadoss said, evoking laughter from the audience. He said most people shy away from the mess of life, but he advised students to “get messy in life” by thinking deeply about hard questions and embracing struggles. Devadoss’ talk was part of “What is the Meaning of Life?” an event sponsored by multiple groups including Real Life, a Christian student organization on campus, and The Veritas Forum. The Veritas Forum is an organization that helps create events where students and faculty engage in life’s hardest questions. Aaron Badenhop, an OSU alumnus and staff member of Real Life, said eight OSU student organizations partnered with The Veritas Forum to sponsor this event. The second speaker of the event, associate professor of philosophy at OSU Kevin Scharp, said that instead of accepting certain beliefs and values without questioning them, people should think critically about them. “Coming up with a stable factual set of values that are your own is the best way to assure meaning in life,” Scharp said. “If you come up with objections to your views that you cannot shove off or find good replies, then that is an indicator that you should probably change those views.” The speakers each had a different take on the topic. Devadoss focused more on the mess of life and explaining that it is OK to not necessarily agree with everything in the Bible as we are not perfect human beings. Scharp focused on our biological significance on this earth and how moral theories are not based on God or a higher power. He told the audience that one who does not believe in God still has morals and recognizes right from wrong. Badenhop said he thought these different views helped keep students more engaged. “We want everyone to think critically, and we also know that for a lot of students on campus, it is helpful for them to engage in a topic if they know that there will be multiple views presented,” Badenhop said. Natalie Hendel, a third-year in history, said she attended the event because she wanted to gain a better understanding of different perspectives about the meaning of life. “I came from a Christian household, and I heard a lot about one side and coming here, what I have learned is that not all people are like that,” she said. Scharp said The Veritas Forum identifies and invites people who have different viewpoints to come and speak. “It so often happens that groups of people only want to listen to other people who have the same viewpoint and I think that is very unfortunate,” Scharp said. “I wanted to support an organization that is willing to reach out to people who disagree with them radically and give them an opportunity to present their views.” But regardless of views, Scharp said beliefs should be scrutinized so that they can become more firm. “Subject your beliefs and values to critical scrutiny so that you can make yourself a reflectively stable batch of values for the course of your life,” he said.

Cooking catastrophes avoided with aid of brunch class Arts Columnist
Cooking is definitely not a skill I possess, which is really a shame because I spend most of my free time eating. Now that I’m in college and have my own apartment, I’m faced with the Lauren Weitz challenge of weitz.20@osu.edu making meals for myself. Every night, I am forced to choose between mediocre college meals like pizza rolls or microwave nachos. Don’t get me wrong, I can melt cheese on tortilla chips better than anyone I know, but my lack of cooking expertise was boring me. I decided it was time to dabble in the culinary arts, or at least time to learn how to make a decent meal for myself that didn’t involve the microwave. I signed up for a free brunch cooking class sponsored by the Ohio Union Activities Board at the Ohio Union and dreaded the days leading up to it. The more I

An instructor explains a recipe at an Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored cooking class. thought about it, the more I didn’t want to go. I was going to have to cook in front of people? At least the class was brunch-themed. No one can argue that breakfast is home to the most delicious foods. Waffles? Bacon? Come on, no question. When I walked into the instructional kitchen in the basement of the Union, I quickly scoped out the premises. None of the other people in the class looked like they were the next Iron Chef, so I thought I was in good company. That was until the cooking instructor brought us up to the front of the room to show us how to properly poach an egg and make
Hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict. I thought we would be making muffins and scrambled eggs, not gourmet meals. I tried to soak in all of the knowledge I could during the demonstration, but before I knew it, we were separated into different stations, given raw ingredients and recipes and set free. As I stared at the four-page recipe guide, I quickly became overwhelmed. I had no idea where to begin. But two of the people in my group had attended cooking classes in the past and helped me through the daunting recipes. My partner and I were in charge of making the apple Waldorf blue cheese salad, which turned out to be pretty easy. No actual cooking was involved, just slicing and dicing different ingredients and putting them in a bowl. Done. Next was the potato and onion frittata. This recipe included foreign words such as “simmering” and “whisk,” which I have obviously heard on the Food Network but never attempted to do myself. I quickly learned that the hardest part of cooking is getting the timing down. When making a complex recipe, there are many steps that build on each other. I couldn’t whisk my eggs until the potatoes were done, I couldn’t cook my potatoes until the water was simmering and I couldn’t forget to add salt to the water before cooking the potatoes. As the class went on, I got more into the rhythm of things.
At one point, I found myself wanting to narrate everything I was doing like I had my own cooking show. But then I remembered I wasn’t Rachael Ray, and other people would hear me. After all of the cooking was done, I felt pretty accomplished. That was until I realized I had only helped make two of the five recipes, and I had definitely picked the easiest ones. The other foods that my group prepared were French toast, eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce and Cool Salmon and cucumber finger sandwiches. Even though the menu for the night was completely different than what I was expecting, all of the food turned out to be pretty good. My favorite was the French toast, but that’s only because I love maple syrup. The cooking class was definitely a challenge, and even though I was easily the most inexperienced cook in the class, I learned a lot. I’m not sure how much time I will actually have to make these meals on my own (I definitely can’t make them successfully by myself), but I realized that cooking isn’t as daunting as it seems. I’m sure I’ll still make Easy Mac every once in a while, but who knows? Maybe one day I’ll feel adventurous and make a recipe that involves the words “whisk” and “simmer,” both of which I now completely understand and feel semiconfident doing.
Designer Drugs hopes to thrive with high-energy dubstep performance in Columbus Amanda Carberry Lantern reporter carberry.8@osu.edu

Designer Drugs is set to perform at Newport Music Hall March 30.
Theodore Nelson, member of the dubstep group Designer Drugs, said his Columbus performance might get out of hand. “I would say (the show will be) high energy, you know fist pumping, and just going to be intense…it’s going to be a shit show,” he said. Designer Drugs is scheduled to perform Saturday at Newport Music Hall. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Nelson said those in attendance can expect a mix of sounds. “It’s going to be a lot of really heavy, what we call dubstep banger music — dance music, with a punk rock-like vibe,” Nelson said. The group consists of Nelson and Michael Patrick, two friends from Pennsylvania who developed a passion for music early. “We are friends from high school who have
similar music interest, and we both wanted to make music since we were young,” Patrick said. The two have been creating electronic music for about 15 to 16 years, however they experimented with other types of genres before, Patrick said. “We started making electronic music together, but before that we were into rock music and classical music, and we both had bands before electronic music,” he said. Currently on tour, Designer Drugs will be traveling to Ohio from its last performance in Los Angeles. The band also has performances coming up in cities such as Austin, Texas, Lexington, Ky., and Las Vegas . For the group’s Columbus show, local DJ/ VJ duo roeVy is also on the bill, as well as electronic duo Funerals, DJs Attak & Carma, Canton, Ohio-native DJ Magua and local DJ Mr. Dustin Knell. Patrick said he and Nelson are excited to share the stage with roeVy. “This is our first time with roeVy. They did
some remixes for us and they are really good techno producers,” Patrick said. “We support them a lot and we think they are really good artists, and I think that someday they will be big.” Designer Drugs has done around 70 remixes and will have 44 original songs after releasing its second album in early May, Patrick said. Nelson and Patrick said they have been to Columbus in the past and are looking forward to this show. “I can’t wait to get back to Columbus, I have a lot of friends there and I always have fun,” Nelson said. Patrick agreed. “I have some friends from school coming up, so should it should be a good time,” Patrick said. Tickets are available for $15 in advance through Ticketmaster, or $20 the day of the show. The Newport is located at 1722 N High St.

The shot Ross grew up to make Andrew Holleran Photo editor holleran.9@osu.edu LOS ANGELES — When Ohio State arrived at the Staples Center Tuesday afternoon and was notified it would inhabit the Lakers’ clubhouse during its stay in Los Angeles, LaQuinton Ross called dibs on a particular maple-finished closet. “I called dibs on (Kobe Bryant)’s locker,” the sophomore forward said. Bryant is Ross’ favorite player. Getting the privilege to sit in the same seat, walk on the carpet and play in the same building as the future NBA Hall of Famer served as motivation for the 6-foot-8 sharpshooter. Thursday night against Arizona, Ross might as well have been wearing the No. 24 white, purple and gold uniform his hero routinely sports in his home arena. With two seconds left in the Sweet 16 contest between the No. 2-seeded Buckeyes and No. 6-seeded Wildcats, Ross hit a 3-pointer from the left arch, propelling OSU to a 73-70 victory and into the Elite 8. Ross received the ball from junior guard Aaron Craft, whose game-winning 3-pointer against Iowa State last weekend kept OSU’s tournament run alive. “I said, ‘Knock down,’ as I passed it, so he better have made it,” Craft said. It was a shot eerily similar to the buzzerbeaters the Staples Center crowd has grown accustomed to seeing from Bryant throughout the 34-year-old’s time in Los Angeles. The make from Ross is a highlight not previously topped by the 20-year-old, and it capped a career-game in OSU’s most important bash of the season. Ross finished with 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 14 of which came in the second half. Down the stretch, with the two heavyweight programs trading basket for basket, it was Ross — not junior forward Deshaun Thomas or Craft — that OSU went to in need of points. “This is what every player grows up looking at on TV and wants to hit that big shot, wants to win the game and hit the big shot in the NCAA Tournament or the NBA,” Ross said. “It just feels great to be here right now.” Just one possession prior to Ross getting the ball from Craft with the seconds ticking down, he had wanted to escape the Staples Center in a hurry.

OSU sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross handles the ball in the 2nd half of the Sweet 16 game against Arizona at the Staples Center in Los Angeles March 28. OSU won, 73-70. With OSU up, 70-67, Arizona senior guard Mark Lyons drove straight at Ross, got fouled and made the layup and ensuing free throw, tying the game. Ross put his hands on his head before covering up his face. Following the game, Ross’ teammates said he had tears in his eyes after the play. The sadness and frustration quickly turned to joy after the game-winning shot went through the net. Earlier in the season, that ability to let a previous play go and move on to the next one wasn’t there for Ross. “LaQuinton has really grown in a lot of areas,” said coach Thad Matta. “He’s really become prideful in the little things in his game and it’s really propelled him to be a better basketball player. I’m proud of him.” One area of his game that will likely go unnoticed following an offensive outburst is his defense — something that kept him off the floor for most of the first half. “I told him you’re either going to be a

With two years as starting quarterback under his belt, rising junior Braxton Miller is starting to embrace his role as a leader of the Ohio State football team. Miller said it’s a position that has taken him a while to get used to. “When I first got here, it was because no one really taught me how to be a leader like I should be,” Miller said. “Now I’m working on little things like that. I’m getting better at it.” Miller, who many have pegged as an early candidate for the Heisman trophy, rushed for 1,271 yards, passed for another 2,039 and racked up 28 total touchdowns last season. But offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said the quarterback still has a lot of room to grow. “As improved as he got, he’s not the best fundamental quarterback in the country, and they pay me a lot of money to make sure that he is,“ Herman

OSU boasts 4-0 win streak, faces Spartans Elliot Schall Lantern reporter schall.21@osu.edu Riding a four-game winning steak, the Ohio State baseball team is set to take on Michigan State for a threegame series at home this weekend. OSU is sitting at 15-6 on the season, but senior shortstop Kirby Pellant said those losses aren’t holding the team back. “We lost some games we shouldn’t have lost, but right now everything is clicking,” Pellant said. “The confidence is coming around right on time and we feel like we can play with anyone.” Pellant was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Monday after going 6-for-9 with a double, a home run, seven RBI and two runs scored in the Buckeyes’ 7-0 shutout of Purdue Saturday. Pellant walked four times and had a pair of sacrifice bunts. His four hits were a career-high and his home run was the first of his career.
Redshirt senior second baseman Ryan Cypret added that the team as a whole seems to be getting better each week. “It’s been a process since the beginning of the year, and every weekend has been an improvement,” Cypret said. “Pitching has already set the bar high and the hitting has stayed to game plan. We are starting to know our identity at the plate.” The Buckeyes haven’t played since their 7-0 shutout at Purdue on Saturday because games against Toledo on Tuesday and Ohio University on Wednesday were canceled due to weather and field conditions. Redshirt senior outfielder Joe Ciamacco said the cancellations haven’t disheartened the team. “We just try to stay loose and have fun,” Ciamacco said. “The weather really doesn’t affect us. So as long as we’re winning and doing what we are supposed to do, it doesn’t really bother us.” The Buckeyes likely face a tough test this weekend in Michigan State.
The Spartans are 13-7 this season and are on a seven-game win streak. The series against OSU will be the team’s first conference games of the year. MSU senior outfielder Jordan Keur is a standout for the Spartans, batting .338 with 14 RBI. Senior pitcher Andrew Waszak has a 1.56 ERA and a 3-1 record in 40.1 innings pitched. Both players were named Big Ten Players to Watch for the season. With the unexpected extra time to focus on MSU, OSU coach Greg Beals said the Buckeyes have been working hard to keep the winning mentality alive. “This team has the understanding it’s not about series, it’s about gameto-game, and they know every game matters in the conference standings at the end of the year,” Beals said. “We’re striving for excellence and we want to take care of every opportunity that we have.” OSU is set to take the field against the Spartans at 6:35 p.m. Friday at Bill Davis Stadium.

sports Ross from 1B defender or I’m not putting you back in the basketball game, and to his credit, he did a really good job,” Matta said. Ross played like a super-sub in the second half, drawing comparisons to former NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden from his teammates. “To this point, I think he’s done a phenomenal job playing his role. I think he’s not really known for his defense, but he’s really been trying on that and putting the work in,” Craft said. It’s the 3-pointer with two seconds left, though, that Ross and his teammates will forever remember, though. “Q’s going to talk about that shot for the rest of his life. He’s never going to let us hear the end of it,” said sophomore forward Sam Thompson. Thanks to that shot, Thompson and his team get to keep playing. OSU will face No. 9 seed Wichita State Saturday at 7:05 p.m. with a spot in the Final Four on the line.

said. “So we’re going to do whatever it takes to get him going sooner rather than later.” Primarily known for his running ability, Miller’s focus this spring has been on developing his air attack. After all, he completed 58.3 percent of his passes last year. He said his goal this year is to complete at least 75 percent of his passes. “I’m working on just getting the ball to the guys,” Miller said. “Just knowing where the guys are going to be at. Last year I kind of second-guessed myself because I didn’t really make plays as well.” At the end of last season, coach Urban Meyer said he wants Miller to be the most fundamentally sound quarterback in the nation. Those words have served as the rising junior’s motivation coming into the 2013 season. “I think about that all the time, every time I step onto the field,” Miller said. “When a ball sails on me, I know why. I worked on that in the off-season in LA. So I know what’s going on if I throw a bad ball.”
Make the Most of Your Summer
Miller worked with quarterback specialist George Whitfield in Los Angeles over the summer. Rising redshirt senior quarterback Kenny Guiton said he and Miller do their best to improve each other’s game. “We kind of feed off of each other,“ Guiton said. “If one of us sees the other doing something wrong, we let them know and try to help them out.” As Miller continues to improve, so will his chances at becoming a Heisman winner. With time, Herman said he believes his quarterback has what it takes to win the award. “He’s got every necessary tool to be that good,” Herman said. “But to say that that’s even the apex of his potential, I don’t know if you can see it. You can’t, but it’s out there. We just have to keep staying on that upward trajectory and you’d like to think, if we continue on this path at the rate we’re going, he’ll get there.” The Buckeyes are scheduled to take the field for their eighth spring practice Saturday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

sports In B1G tennis, fluctuations in weather make travel ‘tricky’ Mark Batke Lantern reporter batke.3@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s tennis team is scheduled to continue Big Ten conference play on the road against Nebraska and Iowa after three consecutive wins in Columbus. Recent home victories against Louisville, Purdue and Indiana helped propel the No. 7 Buckeyes (18-2, 3-0) toward their nearly 10-year home win streak, as well as their pursuit of an eighth-straight Big Ten championship. Both losses suffered by the Scarlet and Gray during the 2013 campaign — then-No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 1 Virginia — have come while playing on the road. Coach Ty Tucker said away matches during the spring are unpredictable because of the constantly changing weather. “The tricky thing about Big Ten tennis and on-the-road matches is that you never know what weather you’re going to get. When you get to a place, you have to make sure that you practice on their indoor courts and their outdoor courts. After traveling, and flying, and changing planes, guys aren’t really looking forward to four hours of
practice,” Tucker said. “It’s challenging to the guys … one day it’s 60 degrees and the next day it’s snowing in the Big Ten.” The Buckeyes’ match against Nebraska (8-7, 0-2) will be the third time OSU has faced off against the Cornhuskers since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011. OSU won both matches against Nebraska in 2012. However, the match Friday will mark the first time the Buckeyes have traveled to Lincoln, Neb., as part of their conference schedule. “We know that (Nebraska) has a difficult indoor tennis center, and if (the match) is outdoors, we know that it’s usually a very windy condition. In tennis, high winds is a pretty darn good equalizer,” Tucker said. “The most important thing that we do is make some first serves, stay disciplined and keep the feet moving.” Redshirt senior Devin McCarthy said he is looking forward to visiting Nebraska for his first time as a Buckeye. “I’m excited. I’ve obviously played at the other (Big Ten) schools four or five times, and it will be fun to see a new school, new facility and check out the campus a little bit,” he said. After the scheduled match against Nebraska, OSU is slated to travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to face the Hawkeyes on Sunday. Steve Houghton, the coach of the Hawkeyes (7-7, 0-2), is the longest-tenured
active coach in Big Ten men’s tennis, currently serving his 31st season with Iowa. The Buckeyes shut out Iowa, 7-0, in Columbus in 2012. “When I was playing in the Big Ten, Steve Houghton was the coach at that time. (He is) a class individual and you always have a good match, but it’s always much rougher at Iowa,” Tucker said. Tucker said he is confident in his team’s ability to perform on the road because leadership from OSU’s two seniors, Connor Smith and McCarthy, has been strong on and off the court. “One of our goals is for seniors to have their best years. To see these guys stepping up their senior year and putting the wins on the board and doing it convincingly is what we always hope will happen with the seniors … Connor and Devin have done a tremendous job,” Tucker said. Smith, who is ranked No. 43 nationally, said the team’s high performance level is because of a focus on team play rather than individual play. “In tennis, it’s a very individual sport, so it’s easy to get caught up in the individual ranking and trying to get individual accolades and all that. I think we care more, personally, about each guy on the team and how the team does than any personal rankings. We would rather be ranked one as a team,” Smith said. The match against Nebraska on Friday is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb.

OSU then-redshirt freshman middle blocker Shawn Herron rises for a hit during a game against Penn State at St. John Arena on Jan. 14, 2012. OSU lost, 3-0.
The Ohio State men’s volleyball team dropped a pair of road matches over the weekend to teams that sit below the Buckeyes in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association standings. The losses dropped OSU out of the nation’s top 10 for the first time since Feb. 1, from No. 8 to No. 11. Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) defeated the Buckeyes, 3-2 (28-26, 17-25, 20-25, 25-22, 15-9), Saturday night. OSU’s defense combined for 16.5 blocks, led by redshirt senior middle blocker John Tholen, who notched eight blocks. Sophomore libero Brennan Anderson totaled a match-high 16 digs, and has now reached double digits in the category 15 times this season. On the offensive end, four Buckeyes finished with 10 or more kills. Redshirt sophomore setter Peter Heinen assisted on 51 of the team’s kills.
OSU was forced to take an early timeout following an 8-3 IPFW run out of the gate. The Buckeyes responded soon after with a 6-2 run to bring the match within a point, 11-10. A back-and-forth set played out from there, ending in a 28-26 win for the Mastodons. A pair of late-set service aces from Tholen gave OSU the second set, 25-17. The Buckeyes went on to take the third set, 25-20 but were unable to finish off their opponents in sets four or five. Back-to-back errors by OSU gave IPFW the fourth set, 25-22, the fifth set, 15-9, and the match, 3-2. Ball State swept OSU (25-15, 25-21, 25-21) Friday night in Muncie, Ind. The winless road trip dropped the Buckeyes another game off the pace of league-leading Lewis, which went 1-1 across the weekend. OSU coach Pete Hanson’s squad remains in second place, 1.5 games behind the Flyers. OSU (15-5, 7-3 MIVA) returns home to St. John Arena on Friday for a non-conference match against Mount Olive at 7 p.m.
