emilY Tara Oller reporter tara.3@osu.edu When President Barack Obama visited the Oval on Ohio State’s campus Oct. 9, the Obama for America campaign had to pay the nearly $200,000 bill up front. Although the president was on campus and hosted by the OSU College Democrats, neither the university or the organization had to pay for the event. “Costs (for the event) are far out of any student organization’s price (budget),” said Mallory Kimble, president of OSU College Democrats, who requested that Obama visit campus. In an email to The Lantern, Amy Murray, assistant director of media relations at OSU, said the OFA campaign paid for the visit and, “the group (OFA) paid $97,000 to rent out the Oval and related costs such as parking.

addition, they also had to put down a $100,000 cash deposit for any damages and carry a significant insurance policy.” The insurance policy is returnable after a review process, Murray said. No final determination has been made as to whether the money will be refunded. Representatives from OFA did not return requests for spending and budgets regarding the president’s visit to the Oval. Although the OSU College Democrats did not pay for the event, Kimble said it was responsible for distributing fliers and advertising for the event Oct. 5. Murray explained OFA had to comply with typical university standards for hosting an event. According to the “Rules Governing the Use of Outdoor Space at The Ohio State University,” a registered student organization, faculty or staff member, university department or organization must sponsor an event. The OSU College Republicans also had a tent set up on the Oval prior to Obama’s speech. Niraj Antani, communications director of OSU College Republicans, said the group had a tent with “a small show of support for Gov. (Mitt) Romney and

This is the ninth story of an 11-article series leading up to the Nov. 6 presidential election that will break down the issues dominating political debates. Check back next Thursday for our segment on women’s health. America is a land of immigrants — President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney have practically coined this as a campaign catch phrase. Obama says he has passed legislation that has helped immigrants in America, and Romney says he will be the one to sort out the immigration issue America is faced with. But Lilia Fernandez, professor in Ohio State’s Department of History
and the Latino Studies Program, says immigration is a complicated issue with no simple solution. “I don’t think anyone’s really going to seriously take up the issue of immigration reform because No. 1, it’s a really complicated issue, and No. 2, for political leaders, there’s not a lot of political gain,” Fernandez said. “The people who would benefit from the laws can’t vote themselves.” Between 12 million and 20 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States, and Fernandez said they have “everything to do with the economy and the direction the country is taking.” “Immigrants here in the U.S. and every country around the world ... tend to fit into the bottom of the labor market ... and they tend to do a lot of the manual service labor,” Fernandez said. American consumers want to buy
cheap things, and one way to keep low costs is to lower labor costs, or pay immigrant workers less, Fernandez said. Undocumented workers don’t have many rights and therefore won’t protest. This often overlooked influence unauthorized immigrants have on America’s economy, Fernandez said, is why simply deporting everyone without documentation “would have a really devastating impact on the economy.” According to Romney’s website, one of his strategies for solving the immigration problem is to encourage self-deportation. In the second presidential debate Tuesday night held at Hofstra University in New York, Romney said that was a stance that is often misconstrued. “We’re not gonna round up 12 million people, undocumented illegals, and take them out of the nation,”
Romney said. “Instead let people make their own choice.” Fernandez said the tight restrictions and quotas are what make getting into the country to work so hard for immigrants. “The people who are in the country today, who we call illegal, who we consider to be illegal immigrants, are coming to the U.S. in exactly the same way that people did a hundred years ago,” Fernandez said. “What’s happened is that our laws have changed and it’s become stricter.” Romney and Obama both said at the Tuesday debate that the immigration system needs to be fixed. According to Romney’s website, he plans to get rid of pointless requirements that delay temporary worker visas and speed up visa

Basketball tickets to be loaded on BuckIDs allisOn slOnaKer Lantern reporter slonaker.15@osu.edu The Ohio State basketball team was named the No. 4 team in the country by the USA Today top 25 poll, and with the season right around the corner, it’s time for students to purchase their season tickets. However, student ticket-holders will only have to present their BuckIDs for entry to the games this year. Brett Scarborough, assistant athletic director, said that instead of students getting a voucher for tickets like last year, all purchased tickets are going to be loaded onto students’ BuckIDs. Scarborough said Undergraduate Student Government and The Buckeye Nuthouse, the OSU student men’s basketball cheering section, approached the athletic department asking for an easier way for students to pick up their tickets. With this change, students are not required to go to the Schottenstein Center to pick up their ticket packages as they did in previous years. “So we kind of worked with USG and Nuthouse and threw this idea
around,” Scarborough said. “We started putting the plans in place from a functionality standpoint in order to make them work and we were able to get all those ducks in a row and be able to do it that way.” Scarborough said that after students purchase a student ticket package, the tickets will be loaded onto the student’s BuckID. Students will swipe their student ID at the arena’s student entrance for verification. Students will then walk to a table where they will be handed a ticket for the best available seat in the student section. Seats in the student section are “first come, first serve,” Scarborough said. This means the earlier students gets in line, the closer they will be to the court. Even if students don’t want to go to every game, Scarborough said students have options to give away their tickets. Students can just give their BuckID to the person taking their ticket and they will be able to get in. “In other words, we aren’t going to be looking at the picture on the ID,” Scarborough said. “We just validate whether there is a ticket present on there.”

students cheer during the 1st half of Osu’s 93-65 win against wisconsin on march 6, 2011, at the schottenstein center. Secondly, Scarborough said there will be an online functionality where students can transfer a ticket from one BuckID to another by using the ID numbers. This way, the student receiving the ticket will be able to use his or her own ID instead of borrowing someone else’s. Sara Wesselkamper, a first-year in exploration, said although the new system might make it harder to sell tickets, it will be more convenient. “I like the idea because I’m always scared I‘m going to lose my tickets,” Wesselkamper said.
While some students have expressed concerns that the process will make it unnecessarily difficult to sell their tickets, others like Matt Curtis, a fifth-year in marketing, don’t think it should be an issue. “If you are going to buy them, then you shouldn’t end up selling them anyway,” Curtis said. Scarborough said with the semester change, OSU had to think about what games to include in the student package. The games included in the

campus Leading questions, bad sampling skew some political polls michael burwell Lantern reporter burwell.37@osu.edu More than just the candidates are trying to persuade voters with the 2012 presidential election less than three weeks away. Although some major polling organizations are trustworthy, some private organizations are releasing poll results to the public that favor one political party over the other. Erik Nisbet, Ohio State assistant professor of communication and political science, said there is potential for people to be manipulated by poll results. “Sometimes people use these types of polls for political purposes when they use questions that are biased in some ways, questions that prompt people to answer them in some ways to basically reach what they hope are conclusions they want for their own political purposes or social purposes,� Nisbet said. He said the most reliable polls are those conducted by telephone or in person. He also said people need to pay attention to the methodology of the polls, such as who they polled, how they polled them and how they sampled them. Nisbet, who is actively involved with the American Association for Public Opinion Research, said people need to be on the lookout for computerized voices over the phone as well. These types of polls are flawed because they only poll those people who actually answer the phone. Organizations that can help people understand what to look for in polls and surveys include AAPOR, which, according to its website, is the leading association of public opinion and survey research professionals.
Niraj Antani, communications director for OSU College Republicans, said biased polls can be very dangerous. “They can sway the public by doing inaccurate samples or oversampling Democrats or oversampling Republicans,� he said. “People shouldn’t make their decision based on polls.� Michael Flannagan, communications director for OSU College Democrats, said some polls are undeniably biased. “I do think there are polling people and polling locations on both sides that ask leaning questions or ask in a way that creates a bias,� Flannagan said. “I also think there are some pretty reputable polls out there and actually do try to find out what people think.� Jacob Casenhiser, a third-year in strategic communication, said he thinks citizens need to understand what the issues are before contributing their thoughts to polls. “I think in terms of looking at those polls, if you’re going to be a citizen that’s voting, you should be able to figure out on your own what the stances are and stuff like that, rather than being swayed by those polls,� Casenhiser said. Casenhiser said he looks at Gallup polls and considers them to be the most accurate. The best advice Nisbet said he could give to people is to view polls as a “snapshot� that might not fully represent public opinion on an issue. “Educate yourself on what makes a good poll versus a bad poll in general, and don’t get too excited either in a positive or negative way about the poll results of any one poll because that could be off; there’s always a margin of error,� Nisbet said. “One poll might show one thing one week and show another thing the following week, so what you want to do is look at the overall trend over time to really evaluate what’s going on in a campaign.�
5 Tips for poll education
From Erik Nisbet, OSU assistant professor of communication and political science
1.
Know who conducted the poll. The most reliable sources are Gallup and major news media outlets.
2.
Know how the poll was conducted. Telephone and face-to-face interviews are most reliable.
3.
Check resources such as the American Association of Public Opinion Research for frequently asked polling questions.
4.
Don’t get too excited about polling results. Polling is just a snapshot and results can always change.
5.
Look at the overall trend throughout time to evaluate what’s happening in a campaign. source: reporting CHRISTOPHER BRAUN / Design editor
Nisbet also said people should be honest with themselves, and not disagree with a poll result just because it varies from their viewpoint. “If you pick on the poll simply because you disagree with its findings versus pick on the poll because they did it poorly or it’s biased in some way, that’s also something that you have to check with yourself as well,� Nisbet said.
Ditchcross mixes ‘high intensity’ road, mountain biking thomas doohan Lantern reporter doohan.4@osu.edu

Cyclocross riders prepare to do a mock race at a practice on Oct. 16.
Bicyclists racing in the mud and weaving between flags is just an average Tuesday night for some Ohio State cyclists. In a water drainage ditch on Fred Taylor Drive by Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, DitchCross enthusiasts practice and perfect their form. Cap City Cycling, an area bicycling club, maintains the group they call DitchCross, which meets on OSU’s campus Tuesdays at 6 p.m. to provide Columbus cyclists with an opportunity to practice cyclocross. Cyclocross is a hybrid between mountain biking and road biking. Riders use a bike equipped with a road bike frame and thicker mountain bike tires. Riders race on a closed course that includes steep hills, switch backs and barriers.
“It is really demanding, very high intensity, kind of go as hard as you can right from the get go and just suffer,â€? said cyclist Peter Dy. “They call it one hour of suffering.â€? Christopher Metzler, a founding member of Cap City Cycling, explained that the Tuesday night practices are meant to help people ease into the intense sport. “It is low key, it is fun and we teach people,â€? Metzler said. “We do not just throw them in and say, ‘OK, go.’ We are here to teach them and acclimate them, and then ‌ we race.â€? The group, comprised of cyclocross teams and independent riders alike, spends practice time working on their turns and even doing a few mock races on the course. The course the riders follow is outlined by small red and yellow flags. Red signifies the right boundary and yellow the left. Up and down hills, slaloming, or moving, right and left, the course is one way the riders improve their skills, though there are other ways to practice. “At the earlier practices in the season we did ‌ one or even two hours of skills practice to
familiarize people with the skills of cyclocross,� Metzler said. The kind of turning the riders do, as well as how the riders must complete obstacles, demands a different skill set from traditional cycling. Many of the courses are designed so that riders have to dismount their bikes and run over obstacles, Metzler said. “Barriers are one of the most memorable aspect(s) of cyclocross because they are man-made features designed to get you off your bike,� Metzler said.

Visit from 1A Congressman (Paul) Ryan” set up in the middle of the Oval. Antani said the Secret Service asked them to take down the tent about an hour before the doors to the Oval opened.
Unfortunately, there is so much money in politics. The campaign paid for it so I don’t really care. Mario Gutierrez second-year in geological science and music education “The university decided that they would shut down the entire Oval and not let tuition-paying students in,” Antani said. Although OSU closed the Oval for the event, Murray said in her email, “The university carefully selected a site that would have the least amount of impact to our academic programs and the university community.” According to the rules governing the use of outdoor space at OSU, the Oval is considered the university’s “front lawn” and normally the Long Walk, the brick path that begins at College Road and ends at the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, is to stay unobstructed for student use. OFA had to pay a $100,000 deposit to use the Main Oval space, according to the contract signed by OFA and OSU officials. The cost of the event seemed high to some students, but many said they were unconcerned because it was coming from campaign funding. “Unfortunately, there is so much money in politics. The campaign paid for it so I don’t really care,” said Mario Gutierrez, a second-year in geological science and music education. If the visit had been paid for by the public,
Gutierrez said he might have felt differently about the event’s price tag. Gutierrez did not get to go to the event because of a chemistry lab but said he did want to attend the speech. Allie Mooney, a second-year in public affairs, said she got to the speech at about 3:30 p.m. Mooney said regardless of which candidate you support, “it was cool (Obama) wanted to come (to OSU).” “The state of Ohio has and continues to play an important role in presidential elections,” Murray said. “Ohio State has long been a popular destination for political candidates and legislative leaders to visit.” Obama’s visit to the Oval was his fifth stop at OSU in the past two years. He kicked off his re-election campaign at the Schottenstein Center on May 5, where his campaign paid $75,000 to rent the building for the day. His last visit to campus was in March, when he spoke at the RPAC about energy, but because that was an official White House visit and unrelated to his campaign, the university did not charge the president for his visit. However, the White House supplied much of the sound and audio equipment for the event. According to previous Lantern articles, Obama’s November 2010 visit to the Oval cost the university $80,000, even though most rally expenses were covered by The Democratic National Committee. Republican presidential nominee Romney was in Central Ohio last week when he visited Delaware, Ohio, about 30 minutes north of Columbus, on Oct. 10, and Lancaster, Ohio, about 40 minutes from Columbus, Friday. A televised, town hall-style debate between Obama and Romney was held Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. The debate yielded mixed reactions from analysts following the debate but many said Obama won. Results of a Wednesday seven-day rolling Gallup poll of registered voters have Romney leading with 48 percent over Obama with 46 percent, with less than three weeks to the Nov. 6 presidential election.

Immigrants from 1A applications so that immediate families can be together. But other techniques in dealing with the immigration issue include completing a “hightech fence to enhance border security and develop an employment verification system” and to “discourage illegal immigrants from coming to America to seek jobs.” “We’re gonna have to stop illegal immigration,” Romney said Tuesday. “There are 4 million people waiting in line to get here legally and the illegal immigrants are taking their place.” Romney promises residency on his website to all foreign students who obtain degrees in the U.S. in math, science or engineering, and was even broader during the debate in suggesting “we should give visas, green cards to people who graduate with degrees.” But as governor of Massachusetts, he vetoed in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants, according to his website. Drew Stroemple, president of OSU College Republicans, said he thinks Romney will make the right choice in encouraging people to go home and come back in a legal way.
Tickets from 1A student package are scheduled while classes are in session. The student package includes no games during winter break or Fall Semester finals week. Illinois, the last game of the year and a Big Ten game, isn’t included in the student package because it is scheduled during spring break, when students won’t be in class. “Our goal is to make sure that we have a good environment and the students are a huge part of that,” Scarborough said. “We need to make sure when we design this
“You can’t blame anyone for wanting to come to this country with the opportunity it’s always had,” Stroemple said. “(But we need to) put our foot down and say, ‘You have to wait your turn,’ and ‘Let’s do this the right way.’” Obama said Tuesday that he wants to make it simpler, easier and cheaper for people who are waiting in line to get into the country. “We can fix this system in a comprehensive way,” Obama said Tuesday. “I sat down with Democrats and Republicans in the beginning of my term and said, ‘Let’s fix this system.’” However, Fernandez said there hasn’t been much action in the way of immigration law reform since about 2006. That is until Obama took action in June that would prevent the Department of Homeland Security from deporting undocumented immigrants under the age of 30 with no criminal records who came to the U.S. before they were 16, have lived here for at least five years, are in school or are high school graduates or veterans in good standing, according to the Immigration Policy Center. “That would basically prevent them from being deported right now,” Fernandez said.
package, that we have 2,400 students show up.” A similar ticketing system has been used at other schools such as Penn State for its football tickets, but Scarborough said OSU needs to try the system out with basketball before implementing it with football. Student ticket packages consist of nine games between Nov. 23 and Feb. 24 and will cost $123. Additional games are available to students and can bought individually for $16 each. Student ticket packages go on sale Thursday at 6 p.m. online and are available through Oct. 22 at 5 p.m.
“But that’s not really offering a long-term solution.” But it does offer a stride toward citizenship, albeit temporary, which is something Obama has been striving for as he continues to push Congress to pass the Dream Act. The Dream Act is legislation that has not yet been passed that would give undocumented youth a way to citizenship through college or the military. “We should make sure that we give them a pathway to citizenship,” Obama said Tuesday. “And that’s what I’ve done administratively.” But Paul Filippelli, executive director of OSU College Democrats, said Obama can’t pass the Dream Act alone. “He doesn’t have the power to do all of it without Congress’ approval,” Filippelli said. “So that act that he tried to pass this year would just defer deportation.” Whatever happens, Fernandez said immigration is an issue that affects everyone. “We need to step back and take in the bigger picture of immigration and how it functions in our economy,” Fernandez said.

Buckeyes answer Urban Meyer’s ‘APB’ PATRICK MAKS Asst. sports editor maks.1@osu.edu
Women’s Golf: 6th place, Susie Maxwell Berning Classic, Round 3
Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer said there’s nothing worse than a team thinking they’re something they’re not. That’s why, even at 7-0, Meyer said the No. 7-ranked Buckeyes are a team that can’t afford to take any weeks off. “There’s nothing worse than false confidence,” Meyer said Wednesday evening at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. “We are what we are and that’s a team that has to fight for everything it can get right now.” And after escaping Indiana, 52-49, in a Saturday night tilt in Bloomington, Ind., that notion might be clearer than ever. Facing their second opponent in as many weeks from the Crossroads of America, OSU might need to put that mentality into practice when unranked Purdue (3-3, Big Ten 0-2) rolls into the confines of Ohio Stadium Saturday at noon.

OSU football coach Urban Meyer walks the sideline during an Oct. 6 game against Nebraska at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 63-38.
APB Answered Meyer issued out an all-points-bulletin for “tough guys” during his weekly press conference on Monday and said his players answered the bell. “I think our whole team did,” he said. “I really do.”
Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Ohio State men’s basketball has company from fellow Big Ten teams near the top of the 2012-13 USA Today preseason Coaches’ Poll. Like other lofty preseason rankings for the team, Buckeyes players likely won’t feel burdened by the expectations. Coming off a 31-8 season and a trip to the Final Four in New Orleans, OSU will begin the upcoming campaign as the No. 4-ranked team in America, according to the USA Today Coaches’ Poll. The poll, released Wednesday, features four other Big Ten teams. Indiana was voted the top-ranked team in America to start the season. The Hoosiers posted a 27-9 record last year and advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Michigan rounds out the Big Ten’s presence in the top five spots of the poll at No. 5. The Wolverines’ preseason ranking is the highest they have received in 19 years. Michigan State and Wisconsin — ranked No. 14 and No. 21, respectively — are the only other Big Ten teams to crack the top 25 in the coaches’ poll. The Spartans are the reigning Big Ten Tournament champions, but bowed out of the
NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16 round with a loss to eventual national semifinalist Louisville. Wisconsin advanced to the Elite 8 in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The Badgers’ season ended with a loss to Syracuse, which the Buckeyes defeated to advance to the Final Four. OSU has also received No. 3 and No. 8 preseason rankings from The Sporting News and Athlon, respectively. During their Oct. 11 media day, several members of the Buckeye squad said they don’t put much stock in preseason rankings. OSU sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross said the team is only focused on internal matters. “The people that are doing those rankings, they’re just looking from the outside,” Ross said. “They have no idea what teams have been doing to get better.” Buckeyes sophomore forward Sam Thompson agreed, adding that the team’s only expectation is to compete for the Big Ten championship, and then the national championships. “That’s what we were recruited here to do and that’s still our goal,” Thompson said. The Buckeyes are scheduled to begin the 2012-13 season on Nov. 9 against Marquette in the Carrier Classic, which will take place on the deck of the USS Yorktown in Charleston, S.C. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Jordan Hall, Etienne Sabino out for Purdue Meyer confirmed that senior running back Jordan Hall and redshirt senior linebacker Etienne Sabino will not play against the Boilermakers. Redshirt senior defensive lineman Nathan Williams, however, will be back in action for the Buckeyes this Saturday after missing last week’s contest against the Hoosiers with a concussion.

Defense Can OSU turn its defense around in one week? Meyer said “absolutely.” “There’s three things: the four to six seconds … that will be fixed,” he said. “Leverage on the football will be fixed and then the tackling.” The Buckeyes’ defense will try to have a better outing against Purdue after surrendering 87 points in back-to-back weeks against Indiana and Nebraska.

Meyer said the Buckeyes had a “little heart-to-heart talk recently.” “We had a hard meeting,” he said. “We had a real hard meeting.” “I think there’s nothing worse than players believing something that they’re not and the team believing they’re something that they’re not. And so we had a very hard, honest meeting. It’s over … Let’s move on.”

Ohio State women’s soccer senior defender Lauren Granberg’s hat trick against Nebraska got her something extra in addition to helping the Buckeyes beat the Cornhuskers. After a three-goal effort against Nebraska on Sunday, Granberg was name Co-Big Ten Player of the Week. Granberg, who shares the award with Minnesota sophomore forward Taylor Uhl, said she does not mind sharing the title with Uhl and is happy to be credited for her work on the field. Monday’s Big Ten Conference honor is the second of Granberg’s career. “It was still good to put in all that work and finally get some recognition, but obviously I’m excited and enthusiastic about it,” Granberg said. “I will still need to be levelheaded and grounded because the work’s not done yet.” Granberg’s honor is the fifth Big Ten award for the Buckeye team this season. Granberg said the number of awards the team has garnered indicates the team should not be sold short. “I think it just goes to show how hard our team is coming out to work this year and the expectations that we have for one another,” Granberg said. “Having that many awards for our team just shows that our team is not to be underestimated by any means.” The Canada native made Buckeye history on Sunday when the Buckeyes defeated Nebraska, 4-0. The three-
goal outing marked the first hat trick of Granberg’s career, as well the 10th hat trick in OSU women’s soccer history. Granberg attributed her hat trick to the help of her teammates. “We focused as a team on shooting and combinational work with each other,” Granberg said. “I couldn’t have gotten any of those goals without my teammates and without their hard work.” Senior forward Tiffany Cameron assisted Granberg on two of the goals and said Granberg’s hard work is what helped her score on Sunday. “(Granberg) has been working really hard and came through for us last weekend when we needed her,” Cameron said. “She is really good at finding the ball and finding space.” Coach Lori Walker also attributed Granberg’s performance over the weekend to her work ethic and leadership. “No. 1, she is our captain ...” Walker said. “She works so hard and covers a ton of ground.” Granberg said she is happy with her performance so far this season but she still has goals she wants to accomplish before her senior season is over. “I would love to hit double digits in goals and continue to give my team some assists,” Granberg said. “It would be absolutely amazing to see Tiffany Cameron break the record for goals scored and if I can have any part in that in helping her to achieve that goal along with my goal, that would definitely make me happy.” Granberg and the Buckeyes are scheduled to battle against Michigan on Thursday at 8 p.m. at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Bodies, brains bombard new COSI exhibit

Have you ever wondered why sleep deprivation is so bad for us? What Alzheimer’s disease actually does to your brain? Where the heck your prefrontal cortex is? Look no further than downtown Columbus for these answers. Gunther von Hagens’ “Body Worlds & The Brain” exhibit is scheduled to be on display Wednesday through Jan. 6 at COSI as part of a partnership with OhioHealth. This marks the first time for the “Body Worlds & The Brain” exhibition to make an appearance in Ohio and the first time for a “Body Worlds” exhibition to be held in Central Ohio, according to a COSI press release. The exhibition is comprised of 200 human specimens — including entire bodies, individual organs and transparent body slices. The bodies are shown with muscles, bones and organs exposed and are posed to highlight certain anatomical features. The exhibition also includes human brains shown behind glass displays. Wall-sized posters help guide attendees through the rooms of the exhibit, giving details on the petrified bodies and body parts as well as supplemental information on topics such as brain disease, drug addiction and human consciousness. The goal of the exhibition is to promote good health for the brain and the body through education, said Janet Bay, physician vice president for Neuroscience at OhioHealth. Exhibition developer and promoter von Hagens invented the preservation process for the bodies and their parts in 1977 for
scientific and medical purposes. In the process called plastination, the body is drained of all natural fluids and soluble fats, which are then replaced with resins and elastomers (essentially plastics and rubbers). The result is the lifelike and durable bodies that are the hallmarks of von Hagens’ exhibitions. The bodies used in the exhibit come from people who chose to donate their bodies to science upon their death. Josh Kessler, the project manager for COSI, said the exhibition at COSI took about a week to set up. “The people at ‘Body Worlds’ have had a lot of practice with this kind of thing,” Kessler said. There are different “Body World” exhibitions with a range of focuses, including human musculature, the human heart and animal bodies. But choosing to focus on the brain made sense for COSI, Kessler said. “Given our strong relationship with OhioHealth’s (Neuroscience Institute), ‘Body Worlds & The Brain’ was an excellent fit,” Kessler said. David Chesebrough, president and CEO of COSI, said he believes the exhibition’s appeal is universal. “What gets any of us more focused than ourselves?” Chesebrough said to press, doctors, benefactors and media at an advance preview for the exhibition Tuesday. Chesebrough shared that his motherin-law recently died from a stroke, and that hosting this exhibition, which includes information on strokes and how they affect the brain, is “personal” for him. “If (my mother-in-law) had seen this exhibit, she might still be here,” he said. Cost of admission to “Body Worlds & The Brain” ranges from $16 to $32.95.
Acrobatics to accentuate ‘Birdhouse Factory’ performance in C-Bus

The circus is slated to leave the big tent and come to Columbus this weekend as part of Cirque Mechanics’ “Birdhouse Factory.” “At the heart of what we do is the circus stuff, in a smaller, more intimate setting,” said Chris Lashua, director of the performance. “Birdhouse Factory” tells the story of a struggling gadget-making factory and is scheduled to be performed 3 p.m. Saturday at the Ohio Theatre. “The workers are inspired by an accident that happens when a bird flies through the factory, and they re-imagine the factory, take control of it and make it into a factory that makes birdhouses,” Lashua said. “It’s really the story of how the factory changes from a stark, ‘Modern Times’ Charlie Chaplin-esque factory to a more whimsical, Rube-Goldberg-like factory.” The transition and playfulness are reflected in the show’s staging and music, but especially in one singular prop: a wheeled contraption that Lashua calls “the trolley.” “That contraption became the heart of ‘Birdhouse Factory,’” Lashua said. The trolley is a pair of rings about 6 feet in diameter held apart by pipe segments, mounted on two unicycles and two smaller wheels. Performers ride the trolley across the stage, using it in a number of acts. “We started exploring other circus acts, how we could get that in there,” Lashua said. At one point in the show, a contortionist balances atop the trolley while two performers pedal it across the stage.

For indie rock band White Rabbits, being on tour was the ultimate inspiration for its recent album. “We toured for a very long time (for) the previous record and it was a very difficult process ... dealing with the ramifications that being a traveling musician can have on your personal friendships or relationships or even on your own happiness,” said guitarist Alex Even. “I think a lot of the lyrics (on ‘Milk Famous,’ released March 6) are sort of on dealing with being gone all the time.” The band is scheduled to perform 7 p.m. Friday at A&R Music Bar. Based in Brooklyn, N.Y., White Rabbits is touring in support of its third album “Milk Famous.” The group formed in 2004 in Columbia, Mo., after Even and guitarist Greg Roberts’ previous band called Texas Chainsaw Mass Choir broke up. It got its name from the song “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane. “That band broke up and then we asked Steve (Patterson) if he wanted
to play drums with us, and that eventually became White Rabbits. We moved to New York in 2005 together and have been hating each other ever since,” Even said, laughing. Although the band has a classified genre, Even doesn’t feel as though it entirely defines the band. “I guess the catch-all phrase would be indie rock, but I’m not sure if that really has any meaning left anymore. We play sort of a very percussive strand of rock ‘n’ roll and we just try to incorporate weird sounds along the way,” Even said. “There are lots of drums and two guitar players making lots of sounds.” Marissa Luther, marketing manager for PromoWest Productions, said that sound works in the band’s favor. “We love the band,” Luther said. “We’ve had them numerous times at all of our venues, and our music bar is the perfect spot in Columbus to have them. They’re great guys to work with.” Other Columbus-based music businesses aren’t so familiar with the group. “I’ve never really listened to them,” said Charlotte Kubat, a manager at

White Rabbits is scheduled to perform Oct. 19 at A&R Music Bar. Magnolia Thunderpussy, a record store located at 1155 N. High St. “(It) doesn’t look like we sold a lot of their stuff. We carry it, but (it’s) not flying off the shelves.” However, the band is working on this by broadening its following with bigger gigs, such as its recent tour dates as a special guest on The Shins’ world tour. Even said the tour was an opportunity for White Rabbits to gain fans. “It was great, they were all very nice and they play in really big venues,” Even said. “It’s fun for us to
be able to play for people that have probably never heard us before.” White Rabbits toured with The Shins on four dates, the last and most recent being on Oct. 11 at the House of Blues in Dallas. Even said he enjoys playing in Columbus, not only because of the atmosphere, but because of the nostalgic feeling it gives the band. “Columbus is really fun. All of our shows there have been great as far as I can remember,” he said. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

[ a +e ] Columbus’ Own
In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that will profile a new Columbus band every week.
Ron E Polo looking to tear up Columbus with hip-hop Madeline Roth Lantern reporter roth.302@osu.edu While some musicians seek to make their names known in a city, budding hip-hop artist Ron E Polo has set his goals a little higher. “I’m just ready to show (Columbus) what I’m made of,” he said. “Time is ticking. Soon it’s gonna be Polo City, hopefully.” During the past year-and-a-half, Ron E Polo, whose real name is Ronald Lee Shelton III, has been learning the ins and outs of the music industry. Since May 2011, he has released three mixtapes and played more than 35 shows, on top of earning his college degree from Bowling Green State University last spring. Shelton most recently headlined a show at Skully’s Music-Diner Oct. 3, which he said was a great success. “For a Wednesday night, I brought in over 300 people,” Shelton said. “(Skully’s) said I can come back, so it was a lot of fun and the turnout was real good.” Though Shelton said his music borrows elements from multiple genres, including rap, hip-hop and pop, his lyrics usually stem from personal experience. “I just tell my story because I feel like once people can follow your story in the music business, then they’re going to follow you for a while,” Shelton said. “If you’re telling somebody else’s story and

Ron E Polo, whose real name is Ronald Lee Shelton III, is a Columbus-based hip-hop artist. then they meet you in person and you’re not living what you’re talking, people (are) gonna find you as a fake.” Larry Moss, Shelton’s cameraman and marketing partner, said the variety of emotions in Shelton’s music can appeal to a wide audience. “Ron has a unique music impression because he is very lyrical and could touch anyone’s soul with his words, (whether) it’s a sad song or an uplifting song,” Moss said.
Birdhouse Factory from 1B

Cirque Mechanics’ ‘Birdhouse Factory’ is scheduled to be performed Oct. 20 at Ohio Theatre.
Mechanical props, such as the trolleys, help the Cirque Mechanics troupe unite the factory setting of “Birdhouse Factory” with the performers’ motions. “It was the marriage of the circus with the mechanical world, and then the telling of the story of the factory that makes it a complete piece set that deserves to be on a theater stage,” Lashua said. The acrobatics of “Birdhouse Factory” seem to intrigue some Ohio State students. “It sounds like it’s got impressive acrobatic stuff. It’s got a cool story with it too (because) they can incorporate acrobatics in the story,” said Luke Agricola, a second-year in engineering physics
It was during Shelton’s junior year at BGSU, where he earned a degree in liberal arts, that he decided to pursue music as a career. Shelton said he had been rapping all his life but was encouraged by one of his professors to keep making music professionally after Shelton recorded a rap song for a class project. But balancing school and a music career was difficult and time-consuming, Shelton said. “It’s a whole lot of work — no sleep, popping who walks the slackline as a hobby. Students often balance on slacklines tied between trees on the Oval. Due to modern circumstances Cirque Mechanics works hard to keep its show on the road and in theaters, Lashua said. “It’s tougher to be an arts company now than it has ever been,” Lashua said. “People are much more careful about how they spend their dollars. And therefore we have to be really careful about how we spend ours so we can afford to be on the road.” Jordan Russell, a third-year in sport and leisure studies, said he wouldn’t spend his money to see the show.
Adderall to stay up just because a whole lot of people want your time and there’s not enough time in the day,” Shelton said. “I was setting up shows, I was making sure my performance was right, while finishing CDs, while trying to graduate from school still. I just wanted to drop out at one point.” Shelton said he was encouraged by his strong support team of family and friends to keep going. The desire to entertain, Shelton said, stems from his family’s roots. “I come from a big entertainment family,” Shelton said. “My grandparents were in a gospel band. My mom was a model. My dad played sports. My aunt’s an actress. I’ve been around it for a while, so I just had to figure out my calling.” Shelton said his fourth mixtape “Falcon Gone” looks promising for mid-November release. Besides recording new music, Shelton said he has been playing live shows as often as possible. He headlined his first show in March at Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh, and has played at venues in New York, Chicago as well as throughout Ohio. Shelton said his most memorable performances to date have been his shows with hip-hop artist Machine Gun Kelly, whom he has opened for four times. Opening for MGK’s energetic live shows, Shelton said, has inspired him as an artist. “He’s kind of the reason why my show picked up,” Shelton said. “Just watching him perform — he puts his all into it. People just love that. So I respect him. He’s an inspiration.” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story. “I’m not really into show theater and stuff,” Russell said. “Acrobatics – it’s not really something I’d really want to go sit down and watch.” However, Lashua said the economic pinch has made “Birdhouse Factory” a leaner, moreperfected production. “It’s more important than ever before to make sure you do really good work because we’re competing with so many other plays for people’s money,” Lashua said. “It’s more important than ever to make sure we do the show we came to do.” Tickets range from $20 to $35 on Ticketmaster or through the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts.
