Tuesday night, a wanted man who calls himself Bigggggg Mike took a fan picture with Ohio State athlete and Olympian Amanda Furrer at Fourth Street Bar and Grill. Wednesday night, Ohio State Police were on his trail. University Police issued a public safety notice informing the campus community that Michael Moses Tarpeh was dangerous, wanted and could be in the area. But Furrer, a senior member of OSU’s rifle team, saw Tarpeh at Fourth Street Tuesday night, and the moment was captured on camera. “I don’t know him or have a connection with him, it was a fan picture because he found out I was in the Olympics and it happened to lead police in the right direction,” Furrer said in an email. “He was just excited about me being an Olympian.” Furrer said she was unsure of details on University Police’s investigation, and representatives from

University Police were not immediately available for comment Wednesday night. The public safety notice, which was sent out Wednesday at about 7:30 p.m., said Tarpeh is wanted by the Morgantown, W. Va., Police Department for aggravated assault and attempted sexual assault. The Massachusetts State Police also wants Tarpeh for an armed carjacking, robbery and assault and battery of a motorist in Lee, Mass. The University of Connecticut Police Department has warrants pending for Tarpeh’s arrest as well. Furrer said when she met Tarpeh, she thought he was just another guy out enjoying his night. When she found out he was wanted in three states, she was uncomfortable. “You never know who people are,” she said. “The nicest person is capable of anything.” Furrer did not say when and how she found out Tarpeh was wanted. A Twitter account that appears to be Tarpeh’s, @ BiggggggMike, tweeted at about 11 p.m. Wednesday, “Whats everyone in colobumus (sic) doing tonight? lol.” Shortly after, he tweeted, “F*** the police yallllllllll.”

Students said they did not receive a text message alert from University Police and weren’t sure why. “I am glad that they emailed us about it, but I wish it’d have been more of a text message since it seems like it’s a lot more urgent news,” said Eric Blum, a third-year in biology. Other students agreed. “I would expect a text alert since I am not always on my email later at night. I am not too worried about it though, but I hope OSU takes further action,” said Chelsea Fraker, a fifth-year in electrical engineering. However, fourth-year in English, Kelsey Bick said she was just happy to be notified. “I was happy OSU sent the email alert out in such a timely manner and I’ll definitely be sure to stay in or walk with people if I go out tonight,” Bick said Wednesday evening. Twenty-three-year-old Tarpeh uses the alias Michael Moses Boadi. He weighs about 280 pounds and is about 6 feet tall, according to the notice. Tarpeh is not an OSU student.

Ohio State’s Undergraduate Student Government elections opened Wednesday at noon, but not without at least one hiccup. Voting in the USG Social and Behavioral Sciences senatorial race created issues for some constituents, who reported they were not seeing SBS appearing as a choice for academic college to vote for their SBS representatives, said Tyler Byrum, chief justice of the USG Judicial Panel and a third-year in engineering physics. “This seemed to be a problem for people for about the first several hours of voting but, to my knowledge, it is not anymore,” said Byrum in an email at about 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Judicial Panel is responsible for ensuring the validity of USG elections. Byrum said he assumed the problem was fixed but that students can manually change the college selection option on the ballot, then can choose SBS and vote for the five Senate seat candidates in that category. Byrum said the glitch will not influence the presidential election, where candidates Taylor Stepp, a third-year in public affairs, and Josh Ahart, a

America’s past is riddled with racial struggles, and while the nation made strides toward equality with the Civil Rights Movement, some members of the Ohio State community said the country still has a long way to go. The death of 17-year-old AfricanAmerican Trayvon Martin occurred almost a year ago, and people quickly labeled the shooting as a hate crime and even a regression in civil rights. The unarmed teen was shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida. Judson Jeffries, an OSU professor of African-American and African Studies, attributed this label to stereotypes that surround black men which, he added, slow racial progress in the U.S. “Of course they take the country back,” Jeffries said in an email. “Oftentimes, black males are perceived by those

outside of the black race as deviant and dangerous. Zimmerman bought into the stereotype … and reacted criminally. Had the kid been white, would Zimmerman have found reason to employ the use of a gun?” Students who viewed the incident as a hate crime held rallies, including a gathering at Hale Hall, home of OSU’s Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, participated in protests and staged sit-ins. Sable Wallace, a second-year in finance and president of OSU’s Black Student Association, said students’ calls for action were an effort to promote forward-thinking and educate the community about the issues of race and racial profiling. “The Hale Center was actually filled to capacity, and we talked about ways to make sure this hatred doesn’t continue,” said Wallace, who was a member of BSA last year also. “We were just trying to get people aware of what was going on.”

UC student charged with kidnapping, rape of ex-girlfriend OSU student MARGARET MECKLENBORG Lantern reporter mecklenborg.2@osu.edu A University of Cincinnati student has been arrested and charged with the rape of an Ohio State student. The Columbus Division of Police responded to the alleged rape when it received a call from a woman’s home on the 1800 block of Trina Way, about 20 minutes from campus, on Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. The woman said Wenbin Shi traveled to Columbus three weekends in a row, entered her home, held her against her will and sexually assaulted her. The woman was previously dating Shi, but she broke off the relationship prior to the assaults, according to police reports. The police arrested Shi at the victim’s home and he was taken to the Franklin County jail on Jan. 25. Shi was initially charged with one count of kidnapping and one count of rape and was released on bond, according to police reports. The Franklin County Grand Jury returned a nine-count indictment against Shi — three counts of aggravated burglary, three counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape, all first-degree felonies, on Feb. 4, according to police reports. The Cincinnati Police Department arrested Shi at his Cincinnati residence on Feb. 6. Shi is awaiting an extradition hearing in Hamilton County Court before being returned to Franklin County for trial. The 21-year-old woman said in an

email that she is not ready to talk about the incident at this time. “I am willing to help others (learn from this) bad time and move on,” she said. “I am not ready to make it public right now.” Daniel Cummins, the University of Cincinnati’s assistant dean of students in the Office of University Judicial Affairs, said he could not comment on any specific cases but only on the Student Code of Conduct process in general. “The Student Code of Conduct administers sanction(s) to all students who are found responsible for violating the policies and procedures,” Cummins said. The ranges of sanctions are: university disciplinary reprimand, probation, suspension and dismissal. “All sanctions are administered in commensurate to the violation and often come with an educational sanction,” Cummins said. The goal of OSU’s Sexual Violence Education and Support program, part of the Student Wellness Center, is to provide help and support for students in the aftermath of sexual violence. “We make sure students are aware of medical care, we help them with the reporting and criminal processes such as filing police reports, helping them talk to detectives and even go to court with them as a support system,” said Brieanne Billman, a wellness coordinator for Sexual Violence Education and Support. “We also help the victims

campus Jim Tressel, Troy Smith to attend fraternity Casino Night brent hankins Lantern reporter hankins.116@osu.edu Some Ohio State students will be putting on their poker faces this weekend. Alpha Tau Omega is hosting Casino Night 2013, held in the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom in the Ohio Union on Friday, and proceeds will be donated to the Tressel Family Fund for Cancer Prevention Research at The James Cancer Research Hospital. “It’s a way for us to give back to the community, to provide a venue for college students and parents and university staff, alumni, (ATO’s) alumni and university alumni the ability to come back and see the greatness that Greek life can bring, what fraternities and sororities can contribute to the Ohio State community,” said Joshua Glocer, Casino Night co-chair and fourth-year in political science. Former OSU football coach Jim Tressel is expected to attend the event, as well as former OSU player Troy Smith — accompanied by his Heisman trophy. “Students and parents will have the opportunity to take a picture with Tressel and Smith, and his Heisman,” Glocer said. In an email to The Lantern, Tressel said he is “really looking

forward to being with Troy Smith and my ATO brothers to raise money for The James Cancer Hospital.” Tressel said one of his friends has been treated at The James. “The Casino Night event is always one of the highlights of the year at the Ohio Union Archie Griffin Ballroom,” Tressel said. The event will feature a wide variety of casino-style games, including poker, blackjack, roulette and craps, Glocer said. Each participant in the event will receive a yet-to-be-determined number of chips to bet on the games with the goal of earning more chips, Glocer said. Once participants are done betting, they will cash in their chips for raffle tickets. The prizes include free haircuts, golf passes, sporting events tickets, purses and more, Glocer said. “We have an Evan Turner jersey, signed, so that’s pretty sweet,” Glocer said. Turner used to play men’s basketball at OSU but currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers. Turner was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2010 NBA draft. In addition to the prizes, there will be a couple of special guests at Casino Night. ATO aims to sell 1,200 tickets for the event and raise roughly

Casino Night 2013 is scheduled to be held in the Ohio Union Archie Griffin Ballroom on March 1.

Some Ohio State students want the Boy Scouts of America to end its ban on openly gay members. The ban currently excludes gay Scout membership and adult leaders in the Boy Scouts of America, but the policy is set to be reconsidered in May. The organization originally announced that it would reconsider the policy in February, but postponed the decision until May “after careful consideration and extensive dialogue,” according to a statement. The delay was announced on Feb. 6. Boy Scouts of America reports that about 70 percent of its groups are backed by religious organizations. But many LGBT activist groups have taken offense to the policy. In early February, a petition with an estimated 1.4 million signatures opposing the current ban was delivered to the Boy Scouts of America national headquarters in Irving, Texas, according to multiple reports. Caroline Ott, a fourth-year in English, said she thinks the policy should be changed. “I identify as a Catholic but I don’t think there is anything wrong with this proposal. Individuals have the passion to work with these kids and change their lives, so it shouldn’t matter how … they identify themselves,” Ott said. “You can’t consider it to be a black and white situation.”

A run-off election would take place over a span of a day or two, which Byrum said would likely be next week.

Students and community members gather on The Oval April 4 to rally against racial profiling and to remember the lives of those lost by alleged hate crimes across the nation.

Martin from 1A However, not all members of the OSU community agreed that Martin’s murder was a hate crime, a fact that was made public after “Long Live Zimmerman” was spray painted on the west wall of Hale Hall last April. The vandalism prompted a sit-in at the Ohio Union the same week, according to Lantern archives, during which students pushed for a hate crime alert system. Dr. Jauvane Adams-Gaston, vice president of the Office of Student Life, said OSU strives to be inclusive and worked diligently to meet this demand, sending out an alert the same day. “We want our climate to be one in which everyone feels appreciated,” Adams-Gaston said. “When we have that type of vandalism, we need to address it swiftly and directly … because it is damaging to that climate.” Since then, President E. Gordon Gee also commissioned a No Place for Hate Task Force, led by AdamsGaston and Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion Valerie Lee to examine the climate and culture of the university, including particular issues like diversity awareness. Adams-Gaston said Student Life has also seen an increase in student leadership. “Another really exciting thing that’s come out has been student leadership in establishing a ‘No Place for Hate Week’ from April 1 – 5,” she said. “It’s student-led and student-driven and focuses on cultivating awareness, so we’re really excited about that.” Such efforts have not gone unnoticed by students like Wallace, who expressed gratitude for the hate crime alerts.

Zacchary Stottsberry, a first-year in linguistics and Italian, agreed. “A lot of religious groups even accept gay members of the community in their church groups. For them, it’s not like it’s a big factor,” Stottsberry said. “It shouldn’t hold people back from doing something they want to do because of their sexual orientation … I don’t think it’s right. It’s not ethical I guess.” Even though people must wait until May to know whether the membership standards proposal passes, some students are expecting the Boy Scouts of America to change its stance. “With the recent changes that have been happening with the LGBT community, I don’t see how (it) is not going to happen,” Stottsberry said.

Jeffries said he was pleased with university and student efforts, but one thing remains obvious to him. “Racism is alive and well, and not scheduled to go anywhere anytime soon,” Jeffries said. But even so, as Zimmerman’s June 10 trial draws near, Wallace said she wants Americans to take away one important message. “I hope people will take race out of every argument and look at the context of what’s really going on. Look at the obvious,” Wallace said. “We shouldn’t be divided; it shouldn’t be white or black. We should all just be one nation.” Martin was returning home from a convenience store in Sanford, Fla., when he was allegedly gunned down by Zimmerman. Zimmerman originally spotted Martin and called 911 to report a “suspicious” male, but he was advised by the police dispatcher not to pursue him. Disregarding orders, Zimmerman approached Martin, who allegedly assaulted him. Zimmerman allegedly then drew his gun and fired. Zimmerman said it was self-defense, which is protected under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” legislation. “Stand Your Ground” is a law that permits a person “who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is attacked … to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force … to prevent death or great bodily harm,” according to the official website of Florida Legislature. Zimmerman is currently awaiting trial and has pleaded not guilty.

Kayla Higginbotham, a first-year in psychology and LGBT rights activist, said she is confident the proposal is going to pass and will lead America in the right direction. “Eventually, our country, I don’t know how long it would take, but it will move toward progression with accepting homosexuals in every different way,” Higginbotham said. “I think through this process that’s happening right now, we will be able to be more open to homosexuality.” Jen Koma, spokeswoman for the Boy Scouts’ Simon Kenton Council, which serves central and southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, said in an email that the organization is declining any interviews about the policy change issue since no decision has been made.

campus OSU offers assistance to students with eating disorders LOGAN HICKMAN Lantern reporter hickman.201@osu.edu

National Eating Disorder Week recognizes millions of Americans

National Eating Disorder Week is coming to a close, but the resources to help students at Ohio State aren’t going anywhere. OSU’s Body Image Health Task Force, comprised of faculty, staff and students from various disciplines and departments, defines a person as having disordered eating when their “attitude about food, weight and body size leads to very rigid eating and exercise habits that jeopardize one’s health, happiness and safety.” National Eating Disorder week began February 24 and runs through March 2. According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), 20 million American women and 10 million American men will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their life. Senior staff counselor from Counseling and Consultation Services, Tracie Keller, said the average age onset for an eating disorder is adolescence and young adulthood, a demographic that includes most OSU students. “I think that college can be a vulnerable time for individuals who have struggled with or who are at risk for developing an eating disorder because of the many challenges involved. These can include moving away from home for the first time, changing support systems, beginning or ending romantic relationships and increased independence,” Keller said. Students who have jeopardized health,

Casino Night from 2A $30,000. Last year’s event raised $25,000 and had 900 people attend, according to the event website. The majority of the money raised by the event comes from ticket sales, Glocer said. Glocer estimated that ATO would need to make a total of $50,000 on the event to have enough left over to meet the donation target after covering costs. Betsy Malone, a third-year in biomedical engineering, was aware of the event and would want to go if not for schedule conflicts. “I think it’s really cool. I know it sounds like a fun event, I’ve never been to it because I always have things on the weekend of it, but I’d want to go if I could,” Maione said.

The EDT Team is a collaboration among The Office of Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Services, Student Health Services and the Student Wellness Center.

Brian Rhea, a fourth-year in biochemistry, said he was supportive of the goals behind Casino Night. “Anything is good, as long as people are donating money to a cause, that’s better than spending the money on beer, or cigarettes or anything else,” Rhea said. Casino Night is a black-tie and non-alcoholic event, Glocer said. Tickets can be purchased from an active member of the fraternity or from the website. Tickets cost $20 for an OSU student or $50 for a single non-student ticket. OSU students who want a Casino Night T-shirt pay an extra $5 with their ticket purchase. Non-OSU couple tickets can be purchased for $80, according to the event website.

disorder and then identifies the most appropriate treatment recommendations for that individual. Tracy Tylka, assistant professor of psychology who specializes in eating behavior, thinks that many students have disordered eating behaviors that cause distress but do not meet the criteria for actual eating disorders. Tylka said disordered eating occurs along a continuum. Clinical eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) are at one end while healthy eating in the presence of hunger is at the other end. Tylka

said eating in the absence of hunger and chronic dieting would occur in the middle. “I think the continuum approach is really important to understand,” Tylka said. “Many college students may never have full-blown eating disorders but may be significantly distressed about their bodies, food and weight.” If a student is distressed about his or her body, food or weight along any point in the continuum, Keller recommends reaching out to a campus-provided service or support group as soon as possible. “On campus there are a number of groups that can be of help to a student who is either interested in learning more about eating disorders or wants to speak with a person who is involved in education and prevention of these issues,” Keller said. The Body Image Health Task Force hosts the annual Body Image Bazaar every February during National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which features displays and exhibits highlighting physical health, acceptance, awareness and resources. This year’s Body Image Bazaar was on Monday at the RPAC. Keller also recommended that students with disordered eating or body image issues reach out a student group called Body Sense. Body Sense’s Facebook page states that the goal of the group is to “promote positive body image and expose the consequences of negative body image through activities and events.” Body Sense urges students to “celebrate every body.”

B1G title race ‘never over’ for Buckeyes andrew holleran Photo editor holleran.9@osu.edu Sam Thompson is returning home — for one night, anyway. The Ohio State sophomore and the rest of the No. 16-ranked Buckeyes play at Northwestern Thursday evening. For Thompson, a Chicago native, the road trip gives him a chance to see the city he grew up in, if only for a brief moment. “It’s weird,” Thompson said Wednesday of traveling back to the Windy City. “We fly in to the airport, drive through downtown Chicago, drive past things that I’ve seen for the past 20 years, and I can’t go home. I can’t do the things I normally do when I’m in the city.” The trip for Thompson and OSU to Evanston, Ill., a suburb roughly 20 minutes outside Chicago, after all, is strictly business. Coming off what was perhaps the most fulfilling week of the season, OSU is starting to build some momentum heading into the postseason. The Buckeyes thrashed Minnesota, 71-45, on Feb. 20, before upsetting then-No. 4 Michigan State, 68-60, Sunday. OSU has three games left in the regular season before heading back to Chicago for the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes remain in contention for a regular season conference title, but the chances of that happening are incredibly slim. OSU currently is tied for fourth place in the Big Ten with Michigan, trailing first-place Indiana by two games. The top four teams receive a bye in the conference tournament. “The race is never over. We know that. Every other team knows that,” Thompson said. That sentiment was perhaps never more apparent than it was Tuesday night, when No. 1 Indiana fell to unranked Minnesota — the same team OSU had beaten by 26 a week earlier — by four points in Minneapolis. “It’s kind of just life in the Big Ten,” said OSU coach Thad Matta.

Northwestern might not pose the same threats that some of the Big Ten’s elite teams do, but OSU knows all too well what the Wildcats are capable of. During the pair’s meeting in Columbus Feb. 14, Northwestern led the game for nearly 32 minutes before OSU put a run together to close out the contest with a 69-59 win. “Give Northwestern credit because they really ran their offense, they made shots, they executed. For 32 minutes, they controlled that basketball game,” Thompson said. What the Wildcats did that night was slow the game down considerably. Running their Princeton offense, known for constant motion, back-door cuts and off-ball screens, Northwestern lulled the Buckeyes’ defense to sleep. Then, as the shot clock was set to expire, they attacked, got an open look and connected. “It was a lack of defensive intensity and focus,” Thompson said. OSU now has to face that same spell in Northwestern’s home arena, where the Buckeyes have struggled in the past. Matta’s crew has won its last two games at WelshRyan Arena by a combined three points. Only 8,177 fans can fit in Northwestern’s humble abode, but don’t tell OSU it’s easy to play there. “They may not have the same facilities we do or run the same offense but (Northwestern) definitely belong(s) in this league,” Thompson said. Having to face slow-it-down Northwestern after facing run, run and then run some more MSU is no easy task, either. “One of the greatest challenges of coaching in this league is you’ve got such contrasting styles from night to night,” Matta said. Most of OSU’s focus, though, is on itself. When the Buckeyes play to their capability, it appears they can play with anyone (see: win against then-No. 2 Michigan on Jan. 13 and the defeat of MSU). When they don’t, they can be beaten badly (see: blowout losses at Illinois on Jan. 5 and at Wisconsin on Feb. 17).

OSU first-year in physics Tori Boggs jumps rope at the RPAC. Boggs will compete at the 2013 Arnold Classic, which begins Thursday.

For an Ohio State first-year in physics, Tori Boggs knows a lot about jumping rope. Boggs is a nine-time world rope skipping champion and a two-time world record holder, the current captain of both Jump Company USA and the U.S. National Jump Rope team, and a member of the USA All-Star Ambassador Jump Rope team. “It’s one of those things where you absolutely have to see jump rope to believe it and you just get hooked at the first sight,” Boggs said. Jumping rope is nothing new to Boggs, a Parkersburg, W.Va., native. The 20-year-old has been involved in the sport since she was 5 when she walked into a jump roping event at the Junior Olympic tournament where her brother was participating in a Tae Kwon Do competition. “She went into a gym where they were jumping rope and saw

it and didn’t want to leave,” said her mother and jump rope coach, Rochelle Boggs. The motherdaughter pair stumbled upon an advertisement in their local newspaper the following week for tryouts and have never looked back. “She’s my coach now, so we’ve grown in the sport together,” Tori Boggs said. But Tori Boggs is the only person to her knowledge on OSU’s campus who participates in competitive rope skipping, something that means she spends many weekends traveling to perform and compete with her various teams. OSU does not provide any resources for her jump roping, but she said she is “working on” getting jump roping to the point where it is associated with the university. Last year, Tori Boggs spent the summer as part of a circus. She said she might want to pursue performing as a career. “I did a holiday tour with “Cirque Dreams” so it was a national tour,

Despite secure CCHA footing, OSU heads to Miami ‘desperate’ Matthew Mithoefer Lantern reporter mithoefer.3@osu.edu

The Ohio State men’s ice hockey team will bring its regular season campaign to a close with a two-game road series at No. 3 Miami (Ohio) this weekend. Barring a date in the postseason, it will mark the final time the in-state rivals meet as members of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The league, which began in 1971, will disband after this season. OSU is set to join the six-team Big Ten Conference in its inaugural hockey season, and Miami will move to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. The series carries large implications for both squads. Miami sits on top of the 11-team CCHA and two points will secure its fourth CCHA regular-season title. In contrast, OSU owns only one league championship (1972) in the conference’s 42-year existence. Sophomore forward Tanner Fritz said this weekend and the ensuing playoffs are great opportunities to make a statement as a program. “(The RedHawks) have been dominating this league for quite a few years now. That’s what OSU hockey

wants to do,” Fritz said. “I think we’re pushing the pace for that this year. In years to come, OSU hockey is going to be on the map.” OSU, sitting in a tie for fourth with Ferris State, will face the Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the CCHA Tournament regardless of this weekend’s results. Whichever team earns more points will host the second-round matchup. Ferris State will play two games at Michigan over the weekend. Miami and OSU have already faced-off three times this season. The RedHawks took five of six points in a CCHA series in December, before beating the Buckeyes in the Three Rivers Classic, 1-0. “We’ve had three tight games against Miami, we want to go down there and win some hockey games and try to get home ice,” said associate head coach Steve Rohlik. In 185 minutes of play against Miami this year, OSU has only scored twice. The Buckeyes are not the only team that Miami has suffocated on offense this season. The RedHawks lead the nation in team defense, allowing a stingy 1.56 goals per game. Freshman goalie Ryan McKay has the best save percentage (.962) and goals against average (1.0570) in the country.

sports Buckeyes from 6A “This time of the year, we need to find something (to get) rolling,” junior guard Aaron Craft said after the MSU game. Matta said he has seen improvement since that loss in Madison, Wis. He’s been using everything up his coach’s sleeve to get the Buckeyes rolling, too. Before the Minnesota game, Matta played a YouTube clip of former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis giving a motivational speech. Matta’s been admittedly harder on this team than he has any of his others. “I think we’re in pretty good shape,” Matta said. “We’ve gone hard, extremely, extremely hard.” With only 10 true scholarship players, it is easy to spot the player in practice that isn’t bringing everything they have — mentally and physically. “If somebody doesn’t have it a particular day, you know. You get embarrassed, really,” Thompson said.

PLEASE RECYCLE

The team’s mindset has been on track recently, Thompson said, which should bode well for the Buckeyes. OSU, and specifically Thompson, who will have a strong contingent of friends and family in the stands Thursday night, don’t want a repeat of their most recent road trip: a 71-49 embarrassment at the hands of the Badgers. No one is saying it is going to be easy, though. “You’re in a great league. You’re attempting to bring it every night,” Matta said. “People tend to forget every other team is bringing it, too.” OSU and Northwestern are set to tip off at 7 p.m. in Evanston, Ill.

Coming off a dominating 18-8 win against first-year program Marquette, the No. 13 Ohio State men’s lacrosse team takes its unbeaten streak into Happy Valley on Saturday at 1 p.m. to take on the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions. At 3-0, the Buckeyes hope to keep up the success that they have found early in the year. Freshman attacker Carter Brown and sophomore midfielder Jesse King recorded a combined 13 points against the Golden Eagles and sparked OSU’s offense which had been stagnant the week before against Jacksonville in a 9-6 win. For his four goals and three assists, Brown was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week. The freshman, though, saw the improvement of the team as a whole, not just his individual statistics. “Our offense was clicking in the second quarter especially,” Brown said. “We were just making the easy play and I just got some easy goals.”

OSU senior attacker Nick Liddil handles the puck during a game against Marquette on Feb. 23 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. OSU won, 18-8. King, too, said he felt the team improved on offense after a tough week of practice. “Honestly, this week we worked out a lot on working the ball on the outside,” King said. “Our chemistry is coming together, and this week it just clicked.” But the Buckeyes will likely have a tougher challenge this week against

Penn State in State College, Pa. The Nittany Lions have already defeated No. 10 Denver on the year and took No. 2 Notre Dame to overtime in their only loss of the season. Last year, Penn State handed OSU its second loss of the season in a 5-2 victory March 3 at Ohio Stadium. In spite of a schedule featuring five

games against top-11 opponents in March, some members of the team are staying positive. OSU coach Nick Myers sees how far his players have come so far this year, but understands there are improvements to be made. “We’ve got a lot of work to continue to do,” Myers said. “It’s February … We’re not the team that we wanted to be yet, but we’re taking steps in the right direction.” The game could also be a potential precursor for what is to come, with reports swirling that a Big Ten conference for lacrosse could be on the horizon. “There’s been some positive conversation,” Myers said about the potential new conference. “This Penn State-Ohio State rivalry has been special for years now. I think that will only get more traction if the Big Ten conference continues to move in the right direction.” King, who was a part of the team that lost to Penn State in Columbus last year, is excited to get another shot at the Nittany Lions. “I’m excited, they’re going to be a great game,” King said. “It’s always fun playing against Penn State.”

OSU first-year in physics Tori Boggs jumps rope at the RPAC. Boggs will compete at the 2013 Arnold Classic, which begins Thursday.

OSU from 6A OSU rode its own stalwart defending for much of the season. But since junior defenseman Curtis Gedig’s injury against Notre Dame on Feb. 1, the Buckeyes have given up an average of 3.4 goals per game. Barring any setbacks, Gedig will return to action this weekend to strengthen the blue line. “(Gedig) has been out skating this week; I expect him to be full-go this weekend,” Rohlik said. “Having Curtis back this weekend will be a big boost for us.” The series will be the last opportunity for OSU sophomore forward Ryan Dzingel and senior goalie Brady Hjelle to showcase their talents before the current round of voting for the Hobey Baker Award ends on March 10. The teammates are two of 77 candidates for college hockey’s most prestigious individual award.

so I toured for a few months and we went around and I jumped rope in the circus,” she said. “I’m (also) employed by Cirque de Soleil for special events. “Ultimately I want to be on a Cirque de Soleil tour.” Until that point, Tori Boggs said she has dreams of bettering the sport of rope skipping. “I’m going to switch to engineering so I can actually apply physics, but basically my motivation for (pursuing a degree) is that I love jump rope so much, my body knows exactly what I’m doing, my muscles know what they’re doing, but I don’t know how to explain it,” Boggs said. “So I want to look at the forces that jump rope places on our body. I want to be able to design a better handle for jumpers, I want to be able to design better shoes and understanding the surfaces that we jump on, like how does that affect our body?” She said currently she is involved with the biomechanics lab at the Wexner Medical Center where she does tricks and uses technology to show her where the forces on her joints are located. “I want to be able to develop better products and improve training methods, and then I’m pre-med, too, so maybe I can go to med school and use that. I don’t know, there’s a lot of options,” Tori Boggs said. With the inaugural 2013 Arnold Classic

jump rope competition happening this weekend, she has been working overtime to recruit novice jumpers to register. “I’ve seen people just playing around with the ropes so I always give them Arnold papers and talk to them about jump rope,” she said. The competition is being co-chaired by Rochelle Boggs, and it will have three different competitive categories, encompassing all age groups and skill levels from those who have never jumped before to professionals like Tori Boggs. Other professional jump ropers are excited about the opportunities the weekend may bring. “Any sort of way that we can get the public to view the sport is really exciting,” said Jen Evans, a grand national champion and three-time world medalist who will be attending OSU next year to work on a doctorate of physical therapy. Evans is a Strongville, Ohio, native and currently attends Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. “It’s really cool because I know that people from Columbus will be there and I’m hoping that it increases the awareness of jump rope,” Evans said. Rochelle Boggs said the new competition will fit in at the Arnold well. “The cool thing is it’s kind of like a natural progression to see jump rope get to the Arnold because Arnold is all about fitness and movement,” she said. The Arnold Jump Rope Fitness Competition will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

After being swept by Michigan last weekend, OSU freshman defenseman Sam Jardine said a better effort is crucial for his team this weekend. “It needs to be a playoff environment for us, and we need to be desperate,” Jardine said. Game one of the two-game series is set for Friday at 7:35 p.m. in Oxford, Ohio.

Columbus artist tells stories, finds humor with cartoons SHELBY LUM Lantern reporter lum.13@osu.edu

SHELBY LUM / Lantern photographer

Paul Palnik, a Columbus cartoonist, poses with one of his poster-sized cartoons.

Very few people are all that funny. Even fewer are so funny they can make a living off it, but Paul Palnik has managed to do just that. Palnik, a cartoon artist located in the Short North, has written and illustrated numerous books, has hundreds of drawings in the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State and has worked as an artist for several publications including American Greetings and The Columbus Dispatch. His book, “Couples: How Two Worlds Become One: Short Essays on Love and Destiny” was the first book he wrote and illustrated himself, and this year marks its 30-year anniversary. Copies of the book aren’t available anymore and have sold out since the book’s publication in 1983. “They printed 34,000 (copies) and 34,000 were sold,” Palnik said. He said the book was originally a poster, and a publisher suggested he make it into a book. One of those copies is on display in the Cartoon Library. “I count it to be a prestigious thing to be part of that collection,” he said. Lucy Caswell, founding curator at the Cartoon Library, originally helped get Palnik’s work into the library. “The Cartoon Library began with the Milton Caniff Collection. We then branched out to include the work of cartoonists related to Ohio State and those who worked in Ohio, and Palnik fits both of those categories,” Caswell said in an email. Jenny Robb, curator at the Cartoon Library, said she believes Palnik has a great sense of humor. “He brings in spiritual themes. A lot of humor and a

lot of detailed graphic work go into creating his masterpieces,” Robb said. Palnik’s work ranges from small prints to large posters to books. “(His cartoons) are the kind that you spend a lot of time looking at and reading,” Robb said. Although humor plays a key role in his cartoons, Palnik’s work has an underlying spirituality about religion and human nature in general. “There is always a river of spirituality underneath every piece,” he said. Caswell agreed. “Its content is informed by his Jewish perspective and his wry sense of humor,” Caswell said. Palnik worked for The Jerusalem Post in Israel, but his cultural influences don’t stop there. He said he is fond of wisdom literature of all different cultures and loves comparative religion literature. For him, his Jewish heritage isn’t only tied to his culture but also his artistic ability, and he said he is still doing scribal art. “I’m Jewish, and I come from a tribe of Jews that were scribes,” Palnik said. “Cartoons are part calligraphy, part art, part storytelling. It’s very, very Jewish in nature.” Being a cartoonist and an artist was part of his family long before he began coloring on his kitchen floor. “For thousands of years, (drawing) got into the bloodstream and the DNA,” Palnik said. That long-standing history is prevalent through generations of Palnik’s family. His mother was an artist, he is an artist and his son is an artist. “(Drawing) is intrinsic to my being,” he said. “It’s like breathing for me.” Through the fundamental spirituality of his drawings, Palnik delves into what makes people human. “Palnik has a confidence about what he wants to say and how he wants to say it that are unique,” Caswell said.

Robb noticed the same quality in Palnik’s work and said he is very insightful about human nature. Palnik said his cartoons are about life and pertain to all people. “I’m very concerned with living and dying and the meaning of life,” he said. Since he graduated from Ohio State in 1969 with a bachelor’s and master’s degree, he has made his living through his art. Palnik said art has never been a job for him, though. One of his favorite parts of drawing, Palnik said, is how he becomes profoundly alive. “When I am drawing, I am becoming more of who I am,” he said. Even his location in Columbus has influenced him. “I think if you make it here you can make it anywhere. Columbus is very much like a condensed America,” he said. “I am Columbus, Ohio, and that’s fine with me.” Being from Columbus has made Palnik into who he is today: a regular guy. “I trust that I am just a regular guy. There is nothing special about me. I come from a working-class family,” Palnik said. “If I like (my art), other people will like it.” He said his work isn’t intended for just the rich. Cartoons are meant for everyone, and he intends to continue the form as a people’s art. From his Columbus studio and home, Palnik ships his work all over the country and all over the world. Palnik’s studio is located at 14 E. Lincoln St.

OSU Raas, a South Asian dance team, performs at the Performance Hall of the Ohio Union for Buckeye Showcase on Feb. 26.

Buckeyes showcase talents, compete for cash prizes LAUREN WEITZ Lantern reporter weitz.20@osu.edu From break dancing to magic tricks involving escaping from a locked box, Ohio State students took the stage to spotlight their diverse talents. The fifth annual Buckeye Showcase was held in the Ohio Union Performance Hall Tuesday at 7 p.m. Ohio Union’s Major Campus Events Committee, which also plans events such as student involvement fairs and Beat Michigan Week, organized the student talent show. “It’s a chance for students to showcase their talents to an audience of their peers,” said Kristen King, the chairwoman of the event, in a Jan. 15 Lantern article. King, a fourth-year in hospitality management, said 36 acts tried out for Buckeye Showcase in late January, but only 15 made it into the show. The three judges for Buckeye Showcase were vice president for Student Life Javaune Adams-Gaston, 2012 Homecoming King and third-year in public affairs Anooj

Bhandari and 2012 Homecoming Queen and fourthyear in marketing Aliza Bruchs. The show opened with a performance by last year’s Buckeye Showcase winners for Highest Overall Score, Ohio State a cappella group Buck That!, which warmed up the crowd before the competitors took the stage. Prizes were awarded to the Most Original Performance, Best Dance Performance, Best Vocal Performance, Audience Favorite and Overall Highest Score. Quartez Harris, a fourth-year in social work, took home the $150 check for Most Original Performance for his poem he read in the show. “I really feel proud of myself,” Harris said. “I felt like I definitely put in time, energy and persistence to make sure I give the crowd a very good poem.” Harris said his poem was about his experiences going through special education in middle school and said poetry is a way to express how he was feeling at that point in his life. “People say like, ‘Oh, this (reading) looks really intense,’ but it was really me like connecting with my experience and reliving what I went through,” Harris said. Best Vocal Performance went to Devra Laserson, a

second-year in music education, and the Best Dance Performance award went to Genesis Dance Team, an all-male South Asian Fusion team at OSU. The group took home a check for $200. Chethanya Eleswarpu, a fourth-year in biomedical engineering and president of Genesis Dance Team, said the dance team is used to national competitions, but it’s still fun to perform at smaller-scale campus events. “It’s always fun to do on-campus performances like these,” Eleswarpu said. “They’re just always a good time with your friends.” The audience of about 300 students and family members of performers had the chance to participate in the judging by texting in a number corresponding to their favorite act. The Audience Favorite award and check for $100 went to Stylez Dance Group, a hip-hop dance group at OSU. The biggest award of the night, Highest Overall Score, went to magician Drew Murray, a third-year in art, who received a check for $350. Murray, who has been doing magic for about 10 years, said it was great to win Buckeye Showcase and he loves entertaining the audience.

“I like performing magic not only because the audience appreciates it but because it’s something unique and you don’t normally see it every day,” Murray said. “I like the fact that I can put a modern twist on it, because a lot of people think ‘magician’ and they think it’s cheesy or ‘creepy old dude in the corner at a birthday party.’ So I like to bring a modern twist to it and make it original.” Some of Murray’s magic tricks included making a bowling ball appear behind a pad of paper and even levitating a table. His most impressive trick involved locking himself in a wooden box, and with the help of his assistant and a black curtain, he magically switched places with his assistant who was then locked in the wooden box. Richard Jones, a second-year in communication, got to be a part of the magic show when he was invited on stage to testify that the wooden box was real and helped lock Murray in the box. “I loved it,” Jones said. “I’m still mind-boggled right now. I’m going to have to YouTube, Google something. I have to find an explanation.”

Trio of artists to display paintings, sculptures in March Roy G Biv gallery exhibition ELIZABETH GARABEDIAN Lantern reporter garabedian.3@osu.edu Chili powder and paprika serve as two ingredients in Kaveri Raina’s most recent artwork. A native of India, Raina is set to showcase her artwork, including three sculptures and six abstract canvas paintings, in a monthlong exhibition at the Roy G Biv gallery starting Saturday. Scheduled to be on display with her are artists Agnes Burris and Andrew Plank. “I moved (from India to Ohio) when I was 10, and it was extremely hard at that time,” Raina said. “It took me a couple of years to adjust, and what inspires me is painting as an outlet for those thoughts. I used to keep a journal for my notes, and basically the thoughts that I had at that time and family and friends helped me get through that adjustment period.” Raina said that while attending the Maryland Institute College of Art, she began working more on large-scale paintings along with her sculptures and smaller creations. She said her work should serve as an “installation” and that it will all come together and “work with everything” for the exhibition. But her biggest goal is to keep tradition in her artwork. “I really like to use a raw canvas instead of the plastic effect,” Raina said. “The raw canvas is used from traditional Indian paintings from the past, so I’ve been trying to keep that in my paintings as well and use a bleedingthrough effect and chili powder. It’s about keeping it raw and giving it an ethnic feel.” Burris, another artist to be featured in the exhibition, works primarily

Agnes Burris’ ‘The Sorrows of Laboring Ships No. 5’ is part of her exhibit at Roy G Biv gallery, to be shown beginning March 2. with two-dimensional paintings. She said she believes she was “born into” art and that it has always been with her. “I really loved art classes as a child, and my parents encouraged it,” Burris said. “I would take art classes during the summer from a woman in our school, who was the art teacher. In second grade, third grade, I always just loved any type of drawing or painting or poster contest.”

Burris said some of her paintings will come from her most recent series, “Collisions,” and another series, “The Sorrows of Laboring Ships.” “Sorrows,” Burris said, was inspired by a newspaper photo of a sinking cargo ship. “The first image that I saw was a picture in a newspaper,” Burris said. “(It was) a container ship that was sinking, and it was tipped over, and there were big containers floating around it. From the angle of the photograph, it seemed like such a pathetic, wounded creature, and there was something about that picture that really struck me and resonated with me emotionally. I really sought out images like that and worked from those images to create a series of paintings.” In a statement on Roy G Biv Gallery’s website above two of his posted paintings, Plank mentioned that he thinks he “can make visible the gap between idea and form.” “(The files here) create a narrative of indecision and decoration, paintings forming around or maybe even capping the ends of engagements rather than engaging in the form of any knowledge economy or narrative,” he said in a statement. Shaylen Oswald, a first-year in exploration, said she found the artists’ topics and themes to be interesting. “I’m not sure if I would go see it because I’m not very artistic,” Oswald said. “But I do think it’s very unique of them.” The exhibition is free and open to the general public. Roy G Biv gallery is located at 997 N. High St. and open 3-6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. on Saturdays.

[ spotlight ] Columbus sextet strives to stand out KAT NIU Lantern reporter niu.57@osu.edu

This is part of our weekly series titled “Columbus’ Own,” where we profile a local band every week.

BUCKEYE

COMIC CON SUNDAY, MARCH 3, 2013

Courtesy of Mike Twice

Forest & the Evergreens was named one of ‘2013’s Bands to Watch’ by Columbus Alive. “Whatever they play, people are feeling it and dancing,” Gould said in an email. “Mike is especially crazy to watch. There are dreads everywhere and he’s standing up half the time.” Twice attributes the rise to the band’s passion and a firm grasp of its artistry. “Our music comes from our hearts,” Twice said. “When you put out music from the heart, everybody can connect with it.” Eric Cronstein is the owner and engineer of The Tone Shoppe, a recording studio in Columbus. Cronstein has aided the band in recording sessions, and Forest & the Evergreens recorded its EP, appropriately called “Tone Shoppe EP,” at the recording studio. He said the band’s chemistry is another important factor to the band’s success. “They all love to play and can all keep up with each other, which is not something you always see. There’s not a weak link, I guess you could say,” Cronstein said in an email. Twice agreed.

“We are literally like a family. A big part of us as a band and our chemistry is how much time we spend together,” Twice said. Not only has the band attracted fans, it also grabbed the attention of the producers of “America’s Got Talent.” Months before the open auditions reached Columbus in January, Forest & the Evergreens received an invitation for a private audition. But the band turned down the opportunity. “We were honored to be asked to audition, but it wasn’t for us. We wanted our music to be the sole focus, not the affiliation with a TV show,” Twice said. The band has managed to keep busy, though, and is set to perform April 13 with rapper Kendrick Lamar at Fest in Athens, Ohio, to an audience of up to 15,000 people. The group is also working on a new EP, set to be released on March 9. Forest & the Evergreens will be promoting the release of its EP with a launch party at Skully’s Music-Diner the night of its release.

Columbus lays claim to a slew of bands, and six-piece band Forest & the Evergreens is doing its best to stand out — but in its own right. The members even turned down an opportunity to audition for “America’s Got Talent.” However, the band has gotten attention elsewhere, as it was named one of “2013’s Bands to Watch” by Columbus Alive. From Parker Muntz’s vocals to the tunes of saxophonist Terrance Farmer, Forest & the Evergreens’ sound is a balance of jazz, rock, soul, funk, ska and a hint of folk. “People always tell us we sound like a combination of their favorite bands, and the combination changes from person to person,” said drummer Mike Twice. “But the best compliment is when people tell us we have our own unique sound.” Twice attributes that uniqueness to the diversity of the band’s members. Other members include bassist Andrew Balazs, guitarist Mickey Drury and trumpeter Adam Bidwell. In about six months, Forest & the Evergreens has risen from playing house shows to a sold-out audience at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion. Getting to play at the LC was a true test of talent for the young band, Bidwell said. The band had to submit its songs online and from there, 10 bands were chosen to perform at a live show. At the CD102.5 Summerfest on Aug. 11., the audience voted on the top three, which included Forest & the Evergreens. Bidwell said the band was excited by the exposure of the show, as it put the band in front of an audience of 5,000 and in the same lineup as Grammy-nominated band The Lumineers, Maps and Atlases and others. “We were very excited and on edge. Of course we were a bit nervous, with all the adrenaline pumping and what not, but when you practice enough it shows when you play,” Bidwell said. Jack Gould, the booking agent at Skully’s Music-Diner, said audiences feed off the band’s energy and passion on stage.

Los Angeles Times, Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Lewis

Horoscopes by Nancy Black ©2012 Tribune Media Services Inc. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY Overall, this year is about fun, love and creativity. Domestic life bustles until summer, when romance carries you away. You’ll both teach and study this year. Travel to an ancestral home. Keeping financial and time management practices in well-oiled harmony provides ease and peace. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Today is a 9 -- For the coming month, rely on a supportive partner. You’re very lucky in love now. Add organization to avoid missing an important date. Stop doing something that’s unprofitable.

Aries March 21-April 19 Today is an 8 -- You’re more responsible for getting your economy growing than you think. Close friends help you surpass obstacles. There’s profitable work coming in. Accept their encouragement.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Today is a 6 -- Be cautious with money. Try not to spend it all, and you could even profit. Give your partnerships some care. It’s best if you don’t force things to fit. Gentle pressure works best.

Taurus April 20-May 20 Today is a 7 -- Find the perfect balance between work and play, or combine them. It’s possible. But don’t overlook possible breakdowns. Take care not to provoke jealousies. New opportunities open up.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Today is a 7 -- Love is all you need. Detours may happen on the way to your destination, so you may want to give yourself plenty of time. Get in touch with your creative and open mind. Friends lend a hand.

Gemini May 21-June 20 Today is a 7 -- Disagreements motivate action and create a domino effect that helps solve the puzzle. Your input is key. Go ahead and be decisive. Don’t waste time arguing. Notice what you’re committed to.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Today is a 9 -- You take on a vast project. Being well organized is crucial, especially because not all turns out as it appears. Give it full effort, complete the level, and get a bonus.

Cancer June 21-July 22 Today is an 8 -- Your heart is torn between business and pleasure. You know which one to choose if you consider carefully. Home calls you tonight; postpone travel or risky propositions. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Today is a 9 -- Things may seem upside down today, but your mental powers are strong. Don’t gamble with your reserves, however. Make sure to take care of your health. Discipline is required.

Thursday February 28, 2013

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Today is a 9 -- Look deeper and gain insight into your own higher values. Begin planning home improvements. Do what worked before with a touch of your own originality. Drink plenty of water.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Today is an 8 -- Don’t buy treats now; add them to your wish list. Your experience is worth more than your possessions. Throw your hat over the fence and commit to something you’ve always wanted. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Today is a 6 -- There may be conflicting orders, which forces you to be creative. Being prepared is only part of the equation. You also have to learn to improvise. It’s all in the listening.

Jennifer Lawrence slipped on the stairs when heading to the stage to accept her Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Jennifer Lawrence slips upon victory, Morrissey takes a stand CAITLIN ESSIG Arts editor essig.21@osu.edu This is part of a weekly series called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pop Opinionsâ&#x20AC;? where The Lantern offers its take on the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop culture news. Jennifer Lawrence falls into Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearts Lawrence generated some buzz at the 85th Annual Academy Awards Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not just because she won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. When the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silver Linings Playbookâ&#x20AC;? star took to the stage to accept her golden statue, she tripped up the stairs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure other celebrities have taken a tumble at other awards shows in the past, but none of them could possibly be as adorable as Lawrence. When she finally made it to the microphone, she was noticeably flustered and overcome with emotion. The crowd gave her a standing ovation, and she began her speech with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really embarrassing, but thank you. This is nuts!â&#x20AC;? She proved through her speech and genuine happiness exactly how down-to-earth she is. And this was amplified after the ceremony when Jack Nicholson walked by as Lawrence was doing an interview with ABC News and she freaked out at the sight of him like a starstruck fan. I think that was the most real moment Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen from a celebrity in a long time, maybe ever.

Morrissey shoots down Kimmel appearance The former lead vocalist of The Smiths was scheduled to perform on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy Kimmel Liveâ&#x20AC;? Tuesday night but canceled because of Kimmelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other guests. The cast of A&E show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck Dynasty,â&#x20AC;? which follows a family of wealthy duck hunters who sell products for other hunters, was also slated to appear Tuesday night, and the show went on with them. Morrissey announced that he was unwilling to appear on the same television program as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck Dynastyâ&#x20AC;? cast due to moral obligations. He released a statement Monday that read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as my reputation is concerned, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Duck Dynasty,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; then we must step away.â&#x20AC;? Kimmel did not dump the cast and instead replaced Morrissey with alternative band Churchill. While I understand the longtime vegetarian and animal-rights activistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasoning, canceling his appearance last minute seems rude and unnecessary. Morrissey ended up looking a little foolish anyway, because Kimmel (in typical comedic fashion) got the last laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I respect his stance on this, I really do, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good reason why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dump the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Duck Dynastyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guys for Morrissey,â&#x20AC;? Kimmel said on Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they have guns, and Morrissey doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from its name, New York City-based quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing possess an uncommon characteristic of a jazz band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably the only group that plays written material where every performance is mostly unplanned in terms of what songs get played,â&#x20AC;? said Moppa Elliott, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bassist, songwriter and frontman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of making very spontaneous written music happen. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anybody else that does the same thing we do.â&#x20AC;? The band, which got its name from a quote that 19th century inventor LĂŠon Theremin allegedly said in defense of Joseph Stalin, is scheduled to perform Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Wexner Center for the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Performance Space as part of its jazz series. After arriving back in the United States from a tour in Europe on Monday, the group is slated to bring what Elliot called an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ebullientâ&#x20AC;? show to its Columbus performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jazz that is very energetic and very fun,â&#x20AC;? Elliot said. Chuck Helm, the director of performing arts at the Wexner Center, said he read about the band in jazz magazines and listened to its 2008 album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Our Moosic,â&#x20AC;? before deciding to check out the band while in New York City for a conference of performing arts presenters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hold the Winter Jazz Festival in conjunction with that conference, where there are about 70 artists in five different clubs over two nights,â&#x20AC;? Helm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mostly Other People Do the Killing was one of the bands that I really wanted to go see, and I was knocked out.â&#x20AC;? Helm said he was so impressed with the group that he wanted to invite them to play at Ohio State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went up after the show and introduced myself (and) said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bring you guys out to Columbus,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Helm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it.â&#x20AC;? He said what attracted him to the band was its ability to present skillful music in an exciting way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re top-notch talents, but at the same time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not afraid to have some fun with the material,â&#x20AC;? Helm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way a lot of jazz artists project themselves on the stage is very serious, about their virtuosity and the compositions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice as a contrast to see some guys that like to have fun with the music too.â&#x20AC;? Elliot said for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live performances they play a large array of songs but condense them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We merge together multiple different songs all at once, which is one of the hallmarks of the way we play live. So we might play any one of 50 songs, or bits and pieces of any one of them,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant at the Wexner Center, said the uniting characteristic of the jazz acts invited to play at the Wexner Center is their musical excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the performers of the jazz series, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to sound quite different from one another, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all standouts in that particular genre,â&#x20AC;? she said. Tickets are $16 for members, $18 for the general public and $13 for students and can be purchased online through the Wexner Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.
