Ohio State will have more incentive to ensure its students graduate because of Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s new budget plan. The plan proposes connecting college state funding with graduation rates instead of enrollment and caps tuition increases at 2 percent annually, among proposals for other reforms to taxes, Medicaid, the Ohio Turnpike and K-12 schools. “I think our colleges and universities, when looked at appropriately, are great assets for economic development,” Kasich said in a speech to reporters Wednesday at the Ohio Newspaper Association convention. “Now they’ve come forward with a program, this is pretty amazing, that they will only be reimbursed 50 percent for their enrollees based on graduation rather than enrollment. So we have a lot of young people who go to school and ring up massive amounts of debt, they leave and they have nothing. So now we’ve changed the incentive.” The convention was held at the Hilton Columbus at Polaris Fashion Place. The new State Share of Instruction formula, used to figure out how to appropriately distribute funds to Ohio higher education institutions, will give 50 percent of state funds to universities based on the percentage of graduating students and 28.2 percent based on course completion. As the SSI currently exists, 20 percent of state funds are distributed for degree completion

Ohio Gov. John Kasich speaks to a crowd of journalists at the Ohio Newspaper Association Conference on Feb. 13. and 58.2 percent for course completion. The proposed changes would go into effect in fiscal year 2014. Some OSU students agree that funding should be connected with graduation rates. “Why fund people who are just going to come (to college) for a little while? We need to focus on the people who are going to make it all the way through and graduate,” said Tricia Capone, a first-year in chemistry. Kasich admitted the plan will be tough on

colleges, which will lose funding if they don’t shift their focus to making sure students graduate. “It’s not easy for them, but they’ve agreed to do it because they think working as a team and forgetting a large degree of self-interest will benefit the state and ultimately will benefit them,” Kasich said. The 4,200-page proposal was presented to the Ohio House of Representatives on Tuesday. Kasich chose OSU President E. Gordon Gee to

National student loan debt has exceeded credit card debt for 2012, and as graduation nears, the question of how to pay back debt is on some students’ minds. Student loan debt reached $920 billion last year, with credit card debt at $796 billion, according to a Wednesday webinar hosted by Campus Progress, a national organization for students that promotes solutions to political and social issues. Other sources reported that people nationwide hold more than $1 trillion in private student loan debt. Ohio State seniors on average graduated with $24,840 in student loan debt in 2011 according to the Office of Student Financial Aid, below the national average of $26,600 for undergraduate

students. It takes a student with $26,000 in student loan debt about 20 years to pay it off on average, according to Campus Progress. The webinar was focused on an opportunity for reform. The campaign, “It’s Our Interest,” is devoted to pushing policymakers to consider allowing students to refinance student loans. “Congress has more people with student debt than ever before,” Brian Stewart, spokesman for Campus Progress, said in the webinar. Stafford Loans, the most common student loans that are backed by the government, have a lower interest rate, but starting July 1, interest rates for these loans are set to double to 6.8 percent. “The impact of interest compounding over the life of the loan (which can be a 10- or 20-year period) can significantly increase the total amount that needs to

$49K tuition funds iPads for MBOE students ABDULRAHMAN AL-RUWAISHAN Lantern reporter al-ruwaishan.1@osu.edu Athletes aren’t the only group on campus receiving iPads. All 36 students in the 2013 class of the Master of Business Operational Excellence program at Fisher College of Business received the Apple product last semester and can keep the tablet after they graduate. The students received iPad 3s in November as part of the $48,500 premium tuition they pay yearly, said Bob Mick, program director at the MBOE. “(T)he program is actually saving money by using the iPads,” Mick said in an email. “Historically, the cost of providing paper materials was on average $500 per student.” Third generation iPads are being phased out in favor of the newer iPad 4, and the iPad 3s are priced between $579.99 and $779.99 on Best Buy’s website. Mick said he purchased the iPads at $526 each, a bulk discounted rate. The MBOE program “prepares high-potential managers for leadership in … leading service and manufacturing companies,” according to the program’s website. Peter Ward, chair of the Department of Management Sciences at Fisher, said the change made sense to him as the MBOE instructors had been using iPads for a few years, so it was logical to have students use them too. “One of the things that the college wants to do is learn from our experience,” he said. “Our IT people were challenged to do this.

campus Meyer, Heisman winners gather to remember Woody Hayes sally xia Lantern reporter xia.82@osu.edu More than 25 years after his death, one name has the power to draw more than 900 former Ohio State football players, coaches and supporters together: Woody Hayes. Guests came out to an event celebrating Hayes’ 100th birthday and honoring Hayes’ and his wife Anne’s legacy Friday night at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Former football players and Heisman Trophy winners Archie Griffin, Eddie George and Troy Smith along with ESPN anchor Brent Musburger attended the event. “He had a genuine care for student-athletes,” said OSU football coach Urban Meyer, who attended the event. The culture Hayes helped establish in the Big Ten during his tenure as Buckeye football coach still lives on today, Meyer said. Registered guests were encouraged to donate and contribute to scholarships and funds in Woody and Anne Hayes’ names. The event started and ended with an impersonator wearing Woody Hayes’ iconic baseball cap and glasses, who spoke to the audience as if he was talking to his players. The stories and memories of Anne and Woody Hayes were shared in about 34 interviews on screen with notable OSU greats including former football coaches Earl Bruce and Jim Tressel, former OSU President Ed Jennings and former football players such as Greg Lashutka and Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler III, son of Bo Schembechler, who fought a “10-Year War” with Woody Hayes as a head coach of Michigan’s football team from 1969 to 1978. Two-time Heisman Trophy winner and president and CEO of the OSU Alumni Association, Griffin made a keynote speech about his memories with Woody Hayes and shared a private recording of him talking to players in the locker room. He said the language Woody Hayes used is “a little different from what you saw on TV.” Besides the often remembered tough side of Woody Hayes, his dedication to charity, his caring for players, his emphasis on education and the “Pay it Forward” spirit were also highlighted at the event. “One of the things he talks about most is education and how important it was for me to get a good education,” Griffin said in an interview with The Lantern. “His mantra of paying it forward is the thing that really helped me with my life because that’s something I would like to do.” Anne Hayes was remembered as a funny, smart, understanding and loving speaker and social worker in the segment “The Woman BESIDE the Man.” The segment depicted her close relationship with the players and how she cheered them up when she knew Woody Hayes’ words might have been harsh. Their grandchildren, Laura Hayes-Elick and Phil Hayes, shared their memories of the couple at the event. Some attendees shared their memories with The Lantern. Musburger said he was “completely intimidated” when he first met Woody Hayes in 1968.

OSU football coach Urban Meyer during the Woody Hayes 100th birthday celebration event on Feb. 15. Hayes would have turned 100 years old on Valentine’s Day. “I didn’t want to ask him stupid questions,” he said. Gene Smith, OSU athletic director, said being recruited by Woody Hayes was his favorite memory of the former coach. “I chose to go to Notre Dame because it was in my hometown with my parents,” Smith said. “Though my parents would have preferred I went to Ohio State.” The tribute event marked the end of the weeklong birthday celebration. Valentine’s Day would have been Woody Hayes’ 100th birthday. An 8-foot statue of Woody Hayes was erected in front of Woody Hayes Athletic Facility Wednesday, and a tea party with Shelley Meyer, Urban Meyer’s wife, was held at the Ohio Union on Tuesday as part of the celebration. “It really is tradition,” said Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president
of Student Life. “It really is a sense of who we are, but most importantly, it’s a sense of what we give.” More than 100 students participated in the event without having to pay the registration fees. “We want to be inclusive about our entire community,” AdamsGaston said. “Of course we know that students can’t pay the price to come, but it’s the part of what we give so that they have these opportunities.” Anooj Bhandari, a third-year in public affairs, participated in the event and said it was “phenomenal.” “I know this sounds like such a cliché concept, but I think Ohio State reads this feeling as equality and giving to other people and by dedicating your life to that, you can really create something meaningful for yourself and those around you,” Bhandari said.

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard Solove Research Institute.
When a friend’s dad was diagnosed with cancer, Alex Marsh and his friends banded together to try and help. Marsh, a third-year in entrepreneurship, will be participating in Pelotonia, The James’ annual bike tour dedicated to raising money for cancer research, for his third time this August. He rides every year for his friend’s dad, who lost his battle with cancer. “I know that when my friend’s dad was diagnosed with cancer, all of our friends tried to get together and talk about what we could do to help her,” Marsh said. “If there could be some type of online forum for that, I think it would definitely help to have that support system.” But now, cancer patients and caregivers have The James CancerConnect, a place to come together online to share information, advice, support and personal testimonies. The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard Solove Research Institute recently partnered with OMNI Health Media to launch The James CancerConnect. The free social media network aims to connect the local and national cancer community. “I think (CancerConnect) sounds like a great idea,” Marsh said. Dori Klemanski, the clinical director of survivorship at The James, said CancerConnect is an important support group for patients outside of the hospital. Klemanski, who worked as a nurse practitioner in an oncology unit for eight years, said patients often want to speak with someone who has personally gone through what they are experiencing. “There are so many other needs that patients have besides what we can address all the time in a clinical environment,” Klemanski said. “This is another way for them on their own time, in their own space and in their own readiness to be able to go ahead and reach out to other people that have gone through a similar track.” The James CancerConnect can be accessed with a specific

Along with providing discussion forums for diagnoses such as breast cancer, melanoma and colon cancer, users can discuss topics like exercise, spirituality and nutrition. Danielle Benson, a second-year in pre-health sciences and committee member of Buckeyethon, an annual dance marathon at OSU that raises money for pediatric cancer, said after witnessing her 4-year-old nephew undergo treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, she understands how important it is for cancer patients to have peers throughout the treatment process. “My family was there for my nephew … but until it happens to you, you don’t know what it’s like to find out that you have this almost incurable disease and you’re going to be battling for your life,” Benson said. “I know my nephew had a ton of friends down at St. Jude and I felt like he needed that connection because they were going through the same thing together and it was something he could relate to.” The James online cancer community is managed by OMNI Health Media, which, according to OMNI’s website, publishes health-related information. Other organizations involved with the network include hospitals in Buffalo, N.Y., Nashville, Tenn., New York City and Seattle.

help lead Ohio higher education in enacting reforms in response to the new budget plan. “He was a chairman of the process to encourage graduation and not just enrollment, and he’s been a great ally of mine from the very beginning,” Kasich said. “In leading this, I think he’s done it where people are not put off because he’s got that good personality and he’s been doing great things for Ohio State and for our state.” Kasich also said the new plan is designed to help students more than the institutions. “When you go to school, you want to be able to graduate and not be moved from class to class without being able to realize that you’re going to get something when you leave. So if we can have universities and colleges have an incentive to graduate students, that’s what’s going to give you great value. Just going to class and ringing up debt and never graduating, that doesn’t get it done,” Kasich said. Some students said colleges with lower graduation rates will be put under added pressure to increase their rates quickly. “I guess it’s on paper a good idea, but I feel like that’s going to put a lot of pressure on the (smaller) schools. OSU obviously probably has a higher rate of graduation than like, (the University of)

Refinancing student loans, according to Campus Progress, could save $14 billion in interest and would produce $21 billion in economic growth. Stewart said along with these benefits, refinancing student loans would help encourage higher education. Beth Bodenstein, a sixth-year in sociology, will graduate this spring with about $80,000 in student loan debt. She will begin paying interest on these loans six months after graduation. “I know my parents are going to help me out because they said they would, it’s not like I am completely on my own.

iPads from 1A was the first time they had done it, so they had to learn about it, so now they have that capability. I would not be surprised to see other programs come onboard, particularly ones that, like us, have big print expenses now.” As part of the Digital First Initiative, which works to promote multimedia and digital education at Ohio State, the OSU’s athletic department budgeted $400,000 for all athletes to receive iPads, but Ward said the iPad program with MBOE is not affiliated with the Digital First Initiative, though there was some collaboration. “Our IT people actually interfaced with that Digital First Initiative,” he said. “We didn’t get funding from Digital First, but … it’s a cooperative venture.” Switching to iPads enables instructors to keep all of their material, whether it is visual or textual, in one place, Ward said. The switch also enables instructors to make their classes more interactive and better measure their students’ comprehension. “So we can put a little quiz together and ask them some key points about what we just talked about for the last hour and they can quickly answer that,” he said. “And then the instructor sees, ‘OK

Cincinnati,” said Daniel Koman, a first-year in chemical engineering. According to CollegeMeasures.org, OSU’s main campus’ graduation rate is second in the state among public schools at 78.1 percent. UC’s ranks fifth in the state with 55.5 percent. Miami University (Ohio) is ranked No. 1 with 80.2 percent. Kayla Rossman, a second-year in accounting, said the new plan could be a “win-lose” situation. “It might make people want to enroll in college less if (the state is) trying less to make people enroll … than graduate. But I think it’ll be good for the people that, once they get into college, it’ll get them to graduate,” Rossman said. Some students also said Kasich appointing Gee as one of the leaders of reform makes them think more highly of the plan. “Whatever he wants to get done, he usually does, and I think he’s a good person to kind of get the ball rolling,” Rossman said. “If Gee thinks that this is the thing that needs to be done, I mean, it’s great that the governor thinks that Ohio State can kind of lead the way.” Other reforms in the proposed legislation include cutting income tax rates by 20 percent over the next three years, reducing small business income taxes by 50 percent and decreasing the state sales tax to 5 from 5.5 percent.

Philippe Laroque, a third-year in strategic communication, said more technology is a “doubleedged sword” and might not always work as smoothly as planned. “It’s more efficient, but you’re taking a chance on whether or not that technology is going to last,” he said. “It leads to us being more easily distracted, because what allows us to be more efficient also allows us to look at videos on YouTube, allows us to talk to our friends on Facebook, allows us to tweet.” Gary Butler, an executive in residence and lecturer in the MBOE program, said iPads were chosen for current students, but that might change in the future. “You may very well find that as technology changes and the needs of the students change, you may have to change the platform,” Butler said. “One of the drawbacks of the iPad is that it doesn’t do Adobe Flash, and I run into that more times than I’d like to.”

studentvoice Time is money in college and skipping class wastes it latnern Columnist
Shay trotter trotter.44@osu.edu
Almost everyone has skipped a class at some point in their college career, whether it be for health reasons, personal days or oversleeping. But when it becomes a habit for some people, I can’t help but question why they are even paying for a college education
in the first place. Tuition isn’t cheap, and that likely isn’t going to change anytime soon. According to the University Registrar, a 3-credit hour course costs $1,146. Every time a student skips one of those classes, they are losing valuable dollars they will never get back. It is similar to the equivalent of paying for tickets to multiple concerts but never actually attending any of the shows. In college, time really is money.
Finances are not the only concern when it comes to this unfortunate habit. It can be assumed that you are going to be lost in the coursework. Maybe you are one of the few people who can use nothing but a textbook to ace exams, but it’s unrealistic. Professors are going to give information in class that you can’t receive elsewhere, and they’ll expect that you are there to hear it. I can’t even imagine how behind I would feel if I continually missed lectures. Textbooks present an overwhelming amount of information, but most professors will highlight the most important details and explain concepts that might not be clear. Attending class is crucial to academic success. For those students who continually skip class, it also might be wise to remember that the “real world” is not as forgiving. You will get your share of sick days, vacation days and personal days in your future career, but an excessive amount of missed days will surely result in no job to return to once you have finished playing hooky. College is meant to prepare students for the workplace, but if they can’t take responsibility for their attendance now, then their future as paid professionals appears bleak.

Many classes are held in University Hall on OSU’s campus. A 3-credit hour course costs $1,146, so skipping class is wasting money.
Native American issues still salient in today’s society dawn bartley For The Lantern barley.31@osu.edu On an unusually warm and sunny day for mid-November, I stood outside on campus, stack of surveys in hand. “How much do you know about Native Americans?” was the title of my questionnaire, with nine questions varying between past and present issues. Arming myself with a wide smile and my best attempt at an engaging demeanor, I wandered through a crowd of students in search of answers. Purposefully, I chose a broad variety of students as far as ethnicity and personality were concerned, chasing down the quintessential OSU T-shirt and jeans, and pierced and tattooed students as well. I could sit here and tell you what the 50 people who filled out the surveys answered wrong or right, but these answers were not nearly as striking as the verbal responses I received. Students are, in many ways, the people in closest contact with the heartbeat of diversity and knowledge. Yet as I told
them the reason for the survey, to access awareness of American-Indian issues, I was inundated with a flurry of responses before respondents even glanced at the questions. “I don’t know anything.” “I’m not going to get anything right.” Or, “I know I should know more, but I don’t.” What was so compelling was not that everyone I talked to that day did or did not know the answers to my questions, but that there was an almost universal admittance of lack of knowledge. In such a cognitive landscape of scarcity, is it any wonder that misinformation and misconceptions abound? “So what?” some might say, “What does awareness of Native American issues do for me, or for anyone else for that matter?” Much more than you might think. Why does it help us to be aware of Native American issues? Two reasons. One, for the same reasons remembering any other atrocity that humans inflict upon one another is essential. To sweep the past under the rug, to minimize or rationalize the depths of human selfishness and ignorance, does a disservice to all.
Ohio human trafficking talks highlight need for aid
You can learn your whole life through teachings and triumph, but it is from our mistakes that the most important and lasting knowledge is gained. Our mistakes tear away the veil of false ego and show us who we really are, enabling us to learn with humility. Yet, as important as the past is, the present is at hand. Why should we be aware of America’s indigenous populations? Because they are still here. At this very moment, some disservice, some ignorant action, is being perpetrated on native communities through corrupt government laws established by an uninformed and unknowing majority. The wrongs committed against the indigenous people of America do not end with our history books. They continue even today. Despite all this, hope remains. We as people in a democratic and capitalist nation tend to forget that it is actually the citizens and consumers who hold the power. They need us, our votes and our money. Withholding either on a large enough scale is a way for people to have their voices heard. Support only those politicians that work toward collaborative efforts with tribal communities. Boycott those
companies who wreak havoc on Native lands, and contribute instead to those that work toward the revitalization of Native communities. In this way, we can demand the changing of policies and inequity. On a small scale, there is always something to do, whether it is writing a congressman or attending a Native American cultural event. Every step toward understanding is necessary, the modest as well as the mighty. So if you too find yourself saying, “I know I should know more, but I don’t,” then don’t let it end there. We can ignore the trepidation of stepping outside of the familiar and challenge ourselves by expanding our understanding of culture and social issues. There is more to being a human being than hiding beneath habit and convention. It is through broadening our view of the horizon that we can begin to see truth emerge from fiction, and we begin to live a more genuine existence. Dawn Bartley, a fourth-year in social work, works at the OSU Multicultural Center and the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio (NAICCO).

Charlotte Williams For the Lantern williams.3855@osu.edu Human Trafficking. Many of you read those words and think, not in America. That assumption is wrong, and the ignorance on the subject of human trafficking is part of the reason why it is so prevalent and such a crucial part of Columbus’ community today. Twenty-seven million people are enslaved worldwide, according to the Polaris Project, and the sobering reality is that Ohio is a hub, the fifth leading state for human trafficking in the United States, according to the Ohio Department of Health. The many questions that arise after hearing that number were presented, discussed and analyzed by Columbus Metropolitan Club Jan. 23. Columbus Metropolitan Club is a nonprofit organization based in downtown Columbus. The mission of CMC is to create community conversation and open exchange of information to the residents of central Ohio through weekly forums offering discussion on civic, social and public interests and issues. The forums present a panel of experts on the topic being conversed that week. On Jan. 23, CMC’s expertise came from three intelligent and highly active residents of central Ohio — Municipal Court Judge Paul Herbert, Michelle Hannan from The Salvation Army and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. These panelists shared their interactions with victims of human trafficking in central Ohio, both good and bad. Herbert said he sees many women who are wrongly convicted of prostitution because they have been forced into sexual labors for others in the sex trade. Herbert has set up an organization called CATCH, Changing Actions To Change Habits, as an alternative for these victims of sex trafficking instead of being sent to prison. Hannan works with The Salvation Army’s Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition, a nonprofit that takes in victims of sex and labor trafficking daily. She has met personally with women who have been beaten, chained, sexually abused and so terrified they have succumbed to being mute or skeptical of all other humans, she said. Hannan and Central Ohio Rescue and Restore offer a process to ending modern slavery in Ohio that involves steps including: • Talk — if you learn about human trafficking and its prominent presence in Ohio, share this information with others through books, news articles, speakers, etc. • Lobby — contact federal and state legislators and tell them that human trafficking is an important concern to you. Find your representatives using your zip code. • Rescue — help rescue others by educating on red flags and what to spot and by

Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine supporting organizations like CORRC. Report — if you see a situation that might be human trafficking in Ohio, call the CORRC hotline at 614-285-HELP. If not in Ohio, call the national hotline at: 1-888-3737-888. Human trafficking is an issue that can go unnoticed due to the nature of kidnapping and hiding the victims by the perpetrators, but it is our job as citizens of central Ohio to end modernday slavery. As college students, it is easier for us to come together to create a coalition against modern-day slavery, an alliance that would spread awareness through posters, speakers, protests to our government and becoming more aware of our surroundings. Let’s take a stand, take action and end the sexual and labor slavery of other women and men our age. If you would like to learn more about the CMC visit their website at columbusmetroclub.org.

Badgers blast Buckeyes in Madison patrick maks Sports editor maks.1@osu.edu Ohio State headed to Wisconsin with a “live in the moment” approach in one hand and hopes of prolonging its chances at a fourth straight Big Ten championship in the other. But the moment, nearly every second of it, belonged to the No. 20-ranked Badgers in a 71-49 rout at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis., Sunday. In the process, Wisconsin handed Thad Matta and the Buckeyes (18-7, 8-5 Big Ten) their worst loss since 2009 and likely eliminated them from the conference’s steeplechase for a league title. Matta, who led OSU to the Final Four less than a year ago, said he had seen enough after calling a timeout down 22-6 with 10:27 to play in the first half. “I, with composure, lost it,” Matta told reporters after the game. Seemingly, so did the Buckeyes. The loss, OSU’s third in four games, drops the Buckeyes to 1-7 against ranked opponents on the season and 3-5 in road games. OSU junior forward Deshaun Thomas, who has not scored less than double figures all season, led the way with 18 points. But in line with the theme of some of OSU’s losses this year, the Big Ten’s leading scorer had little help. Aside from sophomore forward Sam Thompson’s 10 points, starting junior guards Aaron Craft, Lenzelle Smith Jr. and sophomore center Amir Williams combined for just 10 total points. The Buckeyes, though, came out of the gates firing, as Thomas, Smith Jr. and Craft
all connected on each of their first shots within the first three minutes of the game. With the score tied early, 6-6, OSU appeared composed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Kohl Center, a place it had only won once since 2000. Any semblance of that notion, though, evaporated as quickly as the Buckeyes’ poise after junior guard Ben Brust’s 3-pointer gave the Badgers its first lead of the game at the 16:22 mark. They never looked back. Brust’s trey ignited an 18-0 run on 59 percent shooting from the floor and 56 percent from behind the arc that carried the Badgers into halftime with a 39-22 lead in tow. The second half brought more of the same. Wisconsin, which shot 53 percent on the day, still hit 13-of-28 shots and continued to stifle an OSU offense that seemed to only go as far as Thomas could take them. What concerned Matta, though, was not the Buckeyes’ struggles on the offensive end. His worry regarded their defense — the rock on which OSU has appeared to lean on now 25 games into the season. “I don’t know who’s in your jerseys right now in terms of being where you’re supposed to be and doing what you’re supposed to do,” Matta said he told his squad. “We got to get back to that. … We’ve seen the results if we’re not going to play defense. We’re not a good basketball team.” Sunday proved to be an immediate reminder of that. “You know, if we’re going to rely on trying to outscore people, that’s not going to happen, we have to play defense,” Matta said. OSU returns home to play Minnesota Wednesday night at the Schottenstein Center. Tip is at 7 p.m.

Nearly three months after his sophomore season ended, Braxton Miller is still being praised for what he accomplished in 2012. At Ohio State’s men’s basketball game against Northwestern Thursday, the quarterback received his Big Ten Player of the Year trophy on the court amid a standing ovation from the crowd during a media timeout in the first half. Miller, smiling, held the Silver Football, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune, high above his head for all the people in attendance at the Schottenstein Center to see. Miller enjoys the recognition. It humbles him. The trophies and cheers help Miller realize how his hard work — and that from the rest of his team — can pay off. “I’m just thankful for all the things I can do out (on the field) and receive awards like this,” Miller said, moments before accepting his trophy while wearing a black T-shirt, black sweatpants and red Nikes. “It’s a blessing.” Miller, though, would much rather focus on the present and what lies ahead of him. His mind is dead set on preparing for the 2013 season. At the forefront of that emphasis are the dual-threat signal caller’s fundamentals. “I had bad mechanics last year,” Miller said. “I want to focus on it this year.” To better his footwork and throwing motion, Miller traveled west over OSU’s winter break to work with San Diego-based coach George Whitfield Jr. The quarterback guru — who has helped notable NFL gunslingers Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton and

OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller (middle) lifts up his Big Ten Player of the Year trophy during halftime of a basketball game against Northwestern Feb. 14 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 69-59. Andrew Luck, along with 2012 Heisman winner Johnny Manziel — trained Miller on the beaches of California. Part of those workout sessions centered around “chaos mechanics.” When a play breaks down, Miller said he needs to be just as fundamentally sound as he would be in a standard three-step drop. “You got to keep your composure and just keep your mind on your mechanics and it gets you through it,” Miller said. “I’m just getting comfortable right now.” If Miller, who set a school-record for total yards in 2012 with 3,310 during the Buckeyes’ 12-0 season, can better the small details of his game, 2013 could be a Heisman season for OSU’s signal caller. Consistency will be the key for the Big Ten’s most heralded offensive threat.
“When he’s good, he’s really good, and when he’s bad, he’s bad. We need him to be really good more often,” said OSU offensive coordinator Tom Herman Thursday. “His good is really, really stinking good and he just needs to continue working on the consistency of it, because he’s capable of that.” Miller will have some new skill-players to work with in 2013. The Buckeyes signed multiple high-level prospects that helped OSU attain one of the top-three recruiting classes in the country this winter. When asked if he is excited to play with the new talents, Miller grinned widely and replied, “Heck yeah.” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

The Ohio State men’s hockey team ended its weekend series with No. 6 Western Michigan on a high note with a 6-3 victory Saturday night. The Buckeyes earned four points on the weekend after tying the Broncos, 1-1, in the first game of the series on Friday. OSU (13-12-7, 12-7-5-1 CCHA) now sits tied with Ferris State for fourth place in the CCHA standings with only two weekends left in the regular season. A fourth place finish will give them a first-round home series in the playoffs on March 8. The Buckeyes scored first in both contests, with freshman forward Tyler Lundey scoring the team’s only regulation goal Friday night and junior forward Alex Szczechura scoring the first of his three goals Saturday early in the first period. Western Michigan (18-8-6, 14-6-4-2 CCHA) tied the game Saturday less than three minutes later as Broncos sophomore forward Justin Kovacs netted his second goal of the season. With 6:26 remaining, Broncos sophomore forward David Killip scored, and Western Michigan took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
OSU sophomore forward Tanner Fritz scored his seventh goal of the season to tie the game with 8:26 left in the second, but a Western Michigan power-play goal put the Broncos back ahead, 3-2. It would be the final time they would hold the advantage in the game. In the second period, Szczechura scored his second of the game and sophomore forwards Max McCormick and Darik Angeli followed suit to put OSU ahead 5-3. Szczechura then completed his hat trick early in the third period, giving the Buckeyes the win, 6-3. It was the second time this season an OSU player scored three goals in one game, after sophomore forward Ryan Dzingel had a hat trick against Penn State in December. Szczechura has been coming up on Dzingel, OSU’s lead scorer, recently, with nine goals in the last 15 games. OSU’s top line of Szczechura, McCormick and Fritz recorded 11 points on Saturday to lead the Buckeyes. Fritz said the line-up is “clicking” right now. “We’ve had a lot of chemistry,” Fritz said. “I feel like we’re getting the bounces now and we’re really clicking as a line. It’s probably the best time for us to be doing that, going into the playoffs.” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

“My grandmother died from a heart attack during my ninth birthday party, literally while she was eating cake. And I guess that must have screwed me up a little bit,” comedian Anthony Jeselnik said during his stand-up routine called “Caligula,” which was released on DVD in January. “I mean, I still have birthday parties, but now I’m just careful what I wish for,” Jeselnik said. Jeselnik has proven he has no barriers when doing stand-up comedy, and he does not plan to tone it down for his new television show, “The Jeselnik Offensive.” “If people are very sensitive and hearing a joke about a different culture or different religion is something horrible for them, maybe they aren’t going to be my biggest fans,” Jeselnik said in a conference call with college media. “I think that everyone should be able to laugh at themselves.” “The Jeselnik Offensive” premieres on Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. on Comedy Central. The show will feature Jeselnik and two other panelists that will bash pop culture and other news stories. Aziz Ansari (“Parks and Recreation”) and comedian Amy Schumer (“Seeking a Friend for the End of the World”) will join Jeselnik for the series premiere. Jeselnik said the idea of having his own television show came from working as a writer on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” “The idea of having my own show sort of appealed to me when all of my ideas on Jimmy Fallon would get rejected for being too dark or too much like something that I should be doing as opposed to him and then I thought, ‘Oh, then that’s what I want to do,’” Jeselnik said. “I wanted to be able to do a monologue. I wanted to be able

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik’s show ‘The Jeselnik Offensive’ is slated to premiere Feb. 19 on Comedy Central. to do comedy pieces that would be on a late night show but something more my style.” Jeselnik said that unlike other comedy shows, he plans on focusing on odd and bizarre news rather than video clips or celebrities. “I’m more interested in the darker side of the news. If you go to the odd news section of any news website or newspaper and you read about these horrible, usually they’re pretty tragic, things like ‘a poodle falls out an eightstory window and kills a guy,’” Jeselnik said. “Those are the kinds of things that I really enjoy. The kinds of things you couldn’t really make fun of without upsetting someone.” The rightfully named “The Jeselnik Offensive” is scheduled to air right after the popular Comedy Central series “Tosh.0,” but Jeselnik said his
show differs from “Tosh.0” in a number of ways. “My show is just a bigger show than ‘Tosh,’ and that’s not an insult. ‘Tosh’ is like a one-camera show, looking right at the camera and doing it all himself,” Jeselnik said. “‘The Jeselnik Offensive’ is like a big team effort. It’s a different kind of show that I want to be doing forever if I could.” While it is sometimes a struggle to stand out in a sea of comedians and comedy shows, Jeselnik said his show will become increasingly different as time goes on. “If an idea comes up or a joke comes up that I say, ‘That sounds like something Tosh would do’ or ‘That sounds like something Jimmy Fallon would say,’ then I get rid of it,” Jeselnik said. “I certainly have struggled to be different but it’s something that we
certainly pay attention to. It will start out different and it will only get more different.” Even though some people might find Jeselnik’s style of comedy to be offensive or crude, Jeselnik said offending people is not his intent. “I don’t think of it as, ‘I’ve got to cross this line.’ I only want to do what’s interesting to me and what’s funny to me,” Jeselnik said. “I don’t talk about offensive things because I want to offend people, people just get offended in the process.” Robert Bears, a fourth-year in sport and leisure studies, became a fan of Jeselnik after seeing him on a Comedy Central roast. “He’s so wildly offensive and just so calm about it,” Bears said. “He’s not like up in your face like a lot of comedians these days are trying to be.” Bears said he plans to watch “The Jeselnik Offensive” because he likes Jeselnik’s stand-up and wants to see what his television show is like. “His style is just fresh,” Bears said. “I just kind of want to see what he’s got.” Evan Yarrington, a second-year in electrical engineering, said he thinks Jeselnik is funny, but he thinks Comedy Central will censor him. “My problem with Comedy Central is it seems like they’ll just take any kind of random comedian and just throw a show at him and it kind of turns out to be crap usually,” Yarrington said. “I don’t think it’s gonna be anything too special just because I think he is gonna be held back by Comedy Central.” Despite what critics might say, Jeselnik said he will continue to push the line in his stand-up comedy and on “The Jeselnik Offensive.” “I spent the last two years of my life looking for my ex-girlfriend’s killer,” Jeselnik said in “Caligula.” “No one will do it.”

Shelby Lum Lantern reporter lum.13@osu.edu A soft rustle of tulle skirts and the quiet patter of pointe shoes as dancers take their places from the velvet curtain wings might be the vision that springs to mind upon hearing the phrase “professional dance performance.” Then there’s dancer Hiroaki Umeda. An avalanche of light and Umeda’s single form take the stage. Umeda’s performances are a far cry from traditional with his heavy use of innovative technology and lighting. Umeda, brought by the Wexner Center for the Arts, is scheduled to perform at Capitol Theatre, Riffe Center Tuesday at 8 p.m. “He literally, as a human figure, at times is almost dissolving into this wild storm of digital bits of information of lights,” said Chuck Helm, director of performing arts at the Wexner Center. “The projections and the lighting are so striking. It’s a very dynamic visual world he creates.” Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant for the Wexner Center, added to this vision of Umeda’s style of dance. “He’s a single figure on stage. He doesn’t use props or anything, but there are these intense patterns of light,” Wray said. In addition to the dance, Umeda is giving a talk targeting Ohio State’s Department of Dance and OSU’s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design on Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Wexner Center. The event is open to the public. “We are sending over a couple of classes,” said Susan Petry, head chair for the dance department. “They always find it very interesting to hear an artist talk about their work.” Umeda, who is from Japan, will be performing
two different pieces, “Haptic” and “Holistic Strata.” He choreographed the dances and created the electronic musical scores, and his own company, S20, designed the lighting. “‘Holistic Strata’ focuses on the border between dance and video images,” Wray said. Unlike many professional dancers, Umeda did not grow up dancing and did not formally study dance in school, Wray said. “This is a guy who studied photography in college, and then decided to start dancing at (age) 20,” Wray said. “He hasn’t been dancing for that long, all things considered.” Umeda has been dancing for about 15 years. Helm said Umeda’s innovative dance style is reflective of what Japanese society is like for the young artist and the close relationship to technology. “(The dance is like) diving into an ocean of technology,” said Helm. “(‘Holistic Strata’ is) almost like a white-out condition of a blizzard.” Umeda’s contemporary style of dance and use of lighting is becoming a trend in modern dances. “Everyone likes to have that added layer,” said Matthew Bowman, a second-year in dance who plans to attend the performance. “It’s a general trend now to enhance performances with that added visual layer. It gives it more texture.” Helm agreed that this involvement of technology, on point with what Umeda does, is becoming a growing tendency within dance. “I think there are other artists that are interested in this kind of idea,” Helm said. Petry has seen the influence of technology and the prevalence of lighting with students in the dance department. “A lot of our students are working with video and video projection,” Petry said. This pairing of two different elements to dance
performance isn’t limited to only contemporary dance though. “The techniques of technology can really work with any genre,” Petry said. Hip-hop based work, contemporary-based work, improvisation and even ballet have been using new lighting and technology techniques, Petry said. Helm said Umeda’s dance is contemporary, but other types of dance are within his movements. “The music is not hip-hop, but you can still see how it’s one of the roots of his dancing,” Helm said. Despite the formal dance setting, Umeda’s roots in street dance and hip-hop of Japan are still present. “(Umeda is) like an artist that uses movement and video and defies classification,” Petry said. Bowman said Umeda’s dance will not be the first of its kind he has seen. “Last year BalletMet had a show all multimediaspecific,” Bowman said. The show included projection mapping and video backdrops, much like Umeda’s performance will showcase, Bowman said. Umeda’s creation of a symbiotic relationship between lights, technology, music and dance seems to have pinpointed the next growing trend in dance, and Wray said since his last visit to Columbus he has outgrown the Wexner Center. “He came here in 2007, and it was his first solo program in this country … and at that show he had this fully formed vision that worked well in our performance space,” Wray said. “Both pieces use cutting edge digital technology. We thought it (Capitol Theatre) was the best space.” Attempts to contact Hiroaki Umeda for an interview were not returned. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster for $20 for the general public and $10 for students.

[ a +e ] Guac contest heats Acoustic singers to play in C-Bus up North Market fest Shelby Lum Lantern reporter lum.13@osu.edu
Arts Columnist
Twelve competitors entered, but only one could win. Sadly, that wasn’t me. The North Market’s “Fiery Foods Weekend” was full of peppers, chili, hot sauce and my specialty — guacamole. The guacamole contest I competed in was part of a weekend dedicated to all things spicy. The instructions for the contest were straightforward. Bring a quart of prepared guacamole, and at least one ingredient had to be purchased at the market (I went for a cheap option and bought two limes there). The four judges were supposed to evaluate the dips on aroma, appearAlexis Preskar ance, texture and taste. preskar.1@osu.edu Anxiously I wandered the market, buying a coffee and a pretzel, waiting for 10 a.m., when the judging would begin. I sized up the competition, mostly Columbus-area residents who wanted a shot at glory (and a $50 North Market gift certificate) just as much as me. When shopping at the market earlier in the week for my ingredients, I talked to Ben Walters, owner of North Market Spices, and we discussed the upcoming competition. He told me he was “robbed” a few years ago of the win and this year he would be judging the competition. I made sure to buy some spices to stay on his good side and told him to remember me. As I watched Walters and the other judges, three reviewers from iloveitspicy.com, sample mine, they all nodded their head vigorously, and went back for second and third bites. I even heard one judge say “That’s good,” and I thought I was well-set to win. After our dips were judged, we talked with the emcee about how we prepared for the competition. I told him my cooking philosophy: “Everything needs more garlic.” The other competitors had some interesting techniques, one included roasted garlic and another grilled her avocados to achieve a subtle, smoky flavor. Finally the results were in, and first place went to the woman with grilled avocados. While I didn’t get a chance to try her dip, I did try the second place entry and I have to say I wasn’t impressed. It tasted mainly like green peppers and needed a lot of salt and pepper. I was only able to try about five of the entries, mostly because people left quickly after the judging, and some were delicious, but overall, I still liked mine more. My boyfriend smartly agreed with me, but maybe he just said that since he had to help me finish the near quart of leftover guacamole. Contestants were able to collect the judges comment cards afterward and I learned I had achieved a 68 out of 100 possible points. Some judges commented that they enjoyed the texture of my dip and one wrote “Not too shabby.” Then I realized where my downfall likely came from. There was an additional category not mentioned before the contest — use of heat. I realize it was “Fiery Foods Weekend,” but guacamole should never be described as “hot,” in my opinion. Spicy, tangy, creamy are all fine, but not hot. So I will not say I was robbed, rather the judges and I have a philosophical difference of opinion on what guacamole ought to be. So be warned all future competitors, if you want to win this contest, you better bring the heat.
Three acoustic performers from two different sides of the Atlantic Ocean are set to take the stage in Columbus. For two of these musicians, the show is a homecoming, but for one, it’s far from it. Benjamin Francis Leftwich, a British singer-songwriter, is scheduled to play at Rumba Café on Monday at 9 p.m., and will be joined by Ohio natives Tim Easton and Megan Palmer. His tour began Feb. 2, postponed due to family issues, but Leftwich said since restarting, the tour has been great and his show in Columbus might even include new music. Leftwich said he is planning to release a new album sometime this year. “When the songs are right, and the moment’s right, I’ll release it,” Leftwich said. “My favorite songs I write are songs I care about and I feel connected to. The songs kind of lead themselves.” Even after releasing his debut album “Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm” in June 2011, Leftwich said he still gets nervous when taking the stage. In this show, however, Leftwich will have local professionals joining him, perhaps bringing a sense of calm to the performance. Easton and Palmer bring local color to the show. Easton studied at Ohio State, and Palmer studied at Capital University in Bexley, Ohio, about 20 minutes from OSU. “I was an English major, of course,” Easton said. “I minored in women’s studies. It helps when you’re writing songs to understand women. It helps to get the job done.” The singer-songwriter vibe will carry through the night’s performances. “I will be playing the acoustic guitar,” Easton said. “There will be no escaping the singer-songwriter tag.” Adding Palmer to the set might mix the sound up a bit — she plays the violin and will be performing with Easton. Palmer said she enjoys returning to Columbus to perform. “It’s always great to come back to Columbus,” said Palmer, who lives in Brooklyn. “It’s like coming home for sure.” Easton and Palmer met and began playing together a

Benjamin Francis Leftwich is slated to play at Rumba Café Feb. 18. decade ago in Columbus. In August, Easton and Palmer spent a month touring together in Alaska, Palmer said. “What we are trying to do is combine our styles,” Palmer said. “We are doing a lot with harmony and vocals and co-songwriting.” Palmer studied classical music but also learned improvisation and blues. “Tim and I are definitely influenced by the singersongwriter, folk-y, indie rock,” Palmer said. Rumba Café is located at 2507 Summit St. Tickets are available online through Vendini for $12.
