Commencement Controversy

Distance leaves some int’l students extra tix With most international students’ families still living abroad, those graduating this spring have a surplus of tickets.

March 26: Graduating students should receive a survey via email that will help the university gauge how many more tickets students will need on average.

This number was increased from 4 after students initially complained about not having enough tickets for their guests.

Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott have used stout defense to help the OSU basketball team earn a No. 2 seed.

As an international student and an only child, Lanzi Li isn’t stressing out over having enough guest tickets for Spring Commencement. Li, a fourth-year in city and regional planning, said her parents will be the only members of her family attending the May 5 ceremony. Li’s parents are making the nearly 11,000 mile trek from Qingdao, China, to watch her receive her diploma. “Some of my (American) friends are coming, too,” Li said. But with only a few guests, Li found herself with a surplus of the six tickets allotted to each student. “I did have one or two, but some of my friends already asked me for extra tickets,” she said. However, many other graduating students are worried about the ticket limit imposed on friends and family planning to attend graduation. While the ticket limit was increased to six from four, some students have said that still isn’t enough to accommodate their guests. President Barack Obama is expected to deliver the commencement address to roughly 12,000 graduates in Ohio Stadium. Because of renovations to the stadium, added security measures and the record number of students graduating, a limit was placed on the number of tickets each student would be permitted to have. Due to student demand for more tickets, the university is attempting to accommodate requests for more. Students who have applied for graduation will receive an email on March 26 with a survey that will assist the university “in further understanding the demand for tickets” according

MARGARET MECKLENBORG Lantern reporter mecklenborg.2@osu.edu The Roman Catholic Church made waves with its selection of the first non-European pope in the modern era, and with Easter around the corner, some at Ohio State are interested to see how Pope Francis will lead the faith into the future. ”I’m pretty excited. Easter is always a big time for Catholics, and now with the new pope there’s been a lot of enthusiasm towards the faith,” said Daniel Deleandro, a Catholic and third-year in exercise science education. “I really think it’s good that he comes from Latin America because he can speak their language and he can understand different people’s needs.” Pope Francis began his new role as the leader of the Catholic Church on Tuesday. David Brakke, an OSU history professor, said the selection of a non-European pope is crucial to the growth of the Catholic Church because the center of Catholicism is no longer in Europe.

Former Ohio State women’s basketball coach Jim Foster was terminated from his post without cause. In a comment to The Lantern, OSU athletics director for legal affairs Julie Vannatta confirmed the nature of Foster’s departure from the university, which previously had not been made clear. The former Buckeyes coach of 11 years was fired and, as a result, will now receive installment payments that could amount to $350,000. Foster will also remain on the university’s payroll through early April and should receive additional money. “Coach Foster has been terminated without cause. Under his employment contract, he is entitled to receive $350,000 in installment payments beginning on June 30, 2013, and concluding by April 30, 2014,” Vannatta told The Lantern. “Under his employment contract, he is required to make reasonable and diligent efforts to find a comparable employment position. If he chooses to retire from OPERS (Ohio Public Employees Retirement System), rather than obtaining a new job, any retirement benefits he receives will be used to offset the university’s obligation to pay him $350,000.” OSU athletics spokesman Dan Wallenberg confirmed in a Wednesday email that Foster will remain on OSU’s payroll until April 7. In accordance with university procedures, Foster’s $502,000 base salary was paid in monthly installments — he would receive almost $42,000 for April’s payment.

OSU women’s basketball coach Jim Foster was fired without cause March 19. Foster coached at OSU for 11 seasons. Foster’s contract was set to expire on June 30, 2018. A Tuesday morning meeting with OSU athletic director Gene Smith and executive associate athletic director Miechelle Willis resulted in a split between OSU and Foster, a four-time Big Ten Coach of the Year award winner. During his time as coach at the OSU, the Cheltenham, Pa., native amassed a 279-82 record

and a .772 winning percentage. The postseason was not kind to Foster, however — he posted a 10-10 record in NCAA Tournament play while at OSU, and his Buckeye teams were eliminated in either the first or second rounds of the tournament during seven of 10 postseason runs.

campus Men lag behind women in receiving college degrees SAM HARRINGTON Lantern reporter harrington.227@osu.edu Lower levels of academic engagement among men are to blame for a growing university graduation gap between men and women, according to one Ohio State professor. Between 1960 and 2010, the proportion of American women achieving a bachelor’s degree or higher increased to 57 percent from 40 percent, while males’ degree attainment has fallen to 43 percent from 60 percent, said OSU sociology professor Claudia Buchmann, co-author of “The Rise of Women: The Growing Gender Gap in Education and What it Means for American Schools.” Buchmann said the gap was not because of intellectual superiority — women are not necessarily smarter than men — but because of different levels of engagement. Since the gender revolution of the ‘50s and ‘60s women have been able to pursue higher levels of career success than what culture had previously labeled as acceptable. This explains the increase in their higher education graduation rate, Buchmann said. “Women are now 60 percent of all master degree recipients,” she said. At the same time, culture’s definition of masculinity

has not changed. Instead of masculinity found in academic success, culture often identifies masculinity with physicality, she said. Buchmann found that this older view of masculinity was especially common among men from working-class backgrounds. “It’s about what they can do physically, it’s not about how hard did they work in school, how much did they study,” she said. Across the academic spectrum men underperform compared to women, from being less likely to graduate high school to being less likely to graduate college, Buchmann said. In order to combat this, a higher level of academic engagement must be emphasized because of its real-world ramifications, while traditional masculine stereotypes must be deconstructed, she said. A cultural shift is often slow to come into fruition, and Buchmann thinks this gap can be bridged through a renovated educational system that treats everyone as unique. “Students need to be taught as individuals,” Buchmann said. Some involved in higher education agree that schools need to shape themselves around students’ specific needs. “We want schools that adapt to kids rather than expecting the kids to adapt to the school,” said James Moore, professor in the College of Education and

Human Ecology and associate provost in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. “How schools reward those who achieve tends to sometimes be counterintuitive to how men learn and how they’ve been learning.” Some male OSU students are skeptical that traditional masculinity is even in conflict with academia. “I don’t think masculinity has anything to do with schooling or a degree,” said Derrik Cupps, a fourthyear in communication. Sarah Ross, a third-year in psychology, said she is slow to make any judgments on the academic attainment potential of either gender, but could understand Buchmann’s results given the lack of engagement some men have in school. “I could definitely see how guys maybe don’t want to go through the whole long process of school,” Ross said. “Gender is not really the thing that determines whether or not you go for higher education.” Buchmann based her findings on more than 15 data sets from the Department of Education, the U.S. Census and other national and international surveys. While she said the national number applies to OSU, the university is skewed toward a more even male-tofemale graduation rate because certain majors tend to be gender-specific, such as engineering and nursing. Buchmann’s book, “The Rise of Women,” was released earlier this month.

Magnets, electricity key to new depression treatment SHAY TROTTER Lantern reporter trotter.35@osu.edu

OSU’s Wexner Medical Center has started offering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a treatment for depression in some cases after medications have failed to produce results.

Treating depression without side effects could be the beginning of a new era, and not many hospitals offer the option to patients. But in February, Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center began offering a treatment which helps to relieve symptoms of depression without the side effects normally associated with medications. The treatment, which was first tested on a human brain in 1985, involves placing magnets on the scalp of the patient and creating small electrical currents on the surface of the brain, said Dr. James Young, medical director of OSU Harding Hospital. People with depression have an unequal balance of activity in various parts of their brain, Young said, which is what the treatment, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is intended to target. “What it’s basically doing is bringing these different circuits in different parts of the brain into more of a balance and the end result of that is that in can cause someone’s need to improve if they’re depressed,” he said.

Only four patients are in the process of receiving TMS at the Medical Center at this point, Young said, and the overall effects of the treatment on each patient have yet to be determined. “We’re not done yet, so we don’t really know exactly (until) at the end of their treatment course if the ones who haven’t had benefits yet are ultimately going to show improvement,” Young said. “But so far the people that we’re doing have all tolerated the treatment pretty well.” According to 10TV, patients undergo treatment for about 40 minutes, five days a week for roughly a month. In order to be evaluated for potential benefit of the procedure, a patient must have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder and failed a trial of at least one antidepressant when administered and duration in the current depressive episode, said Mollie Gardner, TMS coordinator. Gardner also said the Medical Center is only treating adults between the ages of 22 and 70 for now. While TMS is known for having no systemic side effects, there is still some risk involved. In extremely rare conditions, patients could have seizures as a result of the treatment, but generally there

to the OSU commencement website. The survey aims to identify if providing additional tickets for graduates will be possible. Students will be able to reserve their tickets in mid-April, according to the website. While some domestic students are scrambling to get more tickets, Li’s situation is not rare among OSU students far from home. Other international students have found themselves in the same situation. James Zhang, a fourth-year in economics and finance from Beijing, said Chinese students typically only have one or two parents come to their commencement. “I’d say it’s 99 percent of the cases,” he said. “(It’s) because traveling expenses are so expensive.” Zhang is only using one ticket for his aunt from San Francisco but said he has not decided what he’s going to do with his extras. “If my close friends ask for them, then yeah I’d give them away,” he said. “But some suggest to sell the tickets, because the (asking) price is over hundreds (of dollars).” Zhang also said he has seen a lot of ticket requests on Facebook but has not responded to any. Other international students are finding ways to make sure their tickets are used.

Vickie Chen, a fourth-year international student in communication, said she does not want to give any of her extra tickets away and will use all of hers. “If I sell a ticket, I don’t know who is going to get (it),” Chen said. “If I don’t know the person, I’m not comfortable with it.” Chen’s parents are flying in from Shanghai for Spring Commencement. She is also inviting two professors she calls her mentors, as well as a few friends from school. Chen thinks that hearing Obama’s speech is a good reason to come, but “all in all, it’s (her) graduation ceremony.” “I don’t want (him) to be the only reason people come. I want it to be private, at least for me,” she said. Chen said international students will probably have a lot of extra tickets. OSU has a lot of international students from China, where Chen said many young adults come from small families. “(They) are usually the only child in the family,” she said. “Thinking of the distance, not every mom and dad will come to the ceremony, so there should be a lot of extra tickets.”

Pope from 1A “I think the cardinals were eager to show that they understand now that most Catholics don’t live in Europe,” Brakke said. “(The) majority of Catholics now live in Latin America, Africa and Asia. They understand that the center of the Church is not in Europe. There really isn’t a center anymore, it’s truly a global religion.” Many people in traditional Catholic countries like Spain, Ireland and Italy are no longer going to church or being baptized. This is because the process of secularism has been occurring for more than 100 years in Europe, Brakke said. “People that live in a secular society feel tied together by values like freedom, individual conscience and human rights, rather than being tied together by a specific religion,” Brakke said. Brakke said some Catholics are leaving the Catholic Church in the United States, but Catholicism is not losing ground in the U.S. because immigrants from Catholic nations are keeping the religion prominent. The Catholic Church is still growing in other areas of the world like Asia and Africa. In Latin America there are numerous Catholics leaving the religion for other forms of Christianity because they are looking for more spiritual involvement. “There is definitely a sense that people in Latin America are becoming more interested in forms of Christianity that have a charismatic and emotional appeal with more hymn singing, healing and experiences with the spirit,” Brakke said. “I think the pope will try and integrate that spirituality back into the church.” Abby Krammer, a Catholic and third-year in middle childhood education, said Francis’ adjustment to being pope will add to the excitement of Easter. “It brings me a lot of joy in the Easter season,” Krammer said. “There is a lot of joy in the church all the time because of Jesus’ resurrection, but I think the new pope will also bring new life and happiness to the church.” In addition to the shift of Catholicism from Europe to a worldwide faith, the cardinals chose Francis to focus on two major problems within the Catholic Church, Brakke said. “I think in this situation it was a wise move because the church really needs the new pope to fix two major challenges,” Brakke said. “The remaining problems with the sex abuse scandal must be fixed, so this pope really needs to take charge of that. The second is that the bureaucracy in the Vatican, which is called the ‘Curia,’ really needs to be reformed.

Foster from 1A A lack of sustained postseason success in the NCAA Tournament factored into the decision, Willis said. “We strive to be nationally competitive. We believe that we have everything in place here to be nationally competitive. We believe that means that we should be playing deep into (the) postseason,” Willis said. “We expect to be in the Final Four on occasion, and definitely the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight are expectations that we have.” OSU advanced as far as the Sweet 16-round three times (2004-05, 2008-09 and 2010-11) but no further. A second-round exit in the Big Ten Tournament marked the end of the Buckeyes’ 2012-13 season.

Depression from 2A is just minimal discomfort during the procedure, Young said. “When we’re doing this, we’re actually just affecting the part of the brain that we want to affect and not the rest of the body,” he said. “So it doesn’t have the same kind of stomach side effects that you can have with medicine.” While the FDA has only approved TMS as a treatment for depression, Young said, it could also potentially be used to help with tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing noise in the ear, schizophrenia and other issues related to mental health in the future.

Pope Francis waves to the crowd from the papamobile during his inauguration mass at St Peter’s square on March 19, at the Vatican. There are hints of scandal and financial mismanagement … I think there was a real need to bring in an outsider from another place and to not be heavily involved in the bureaucracy to kind of clean up the place.” The Catholic Church has faced issues with sexual misconduct over the years that has tarnished the reputation of the Church. Theresa Gilmore, a Catholic and second-year in public health, said she is looking forward to seeing what Francis will focus on during his reign. “I think it’s going to be really good to see from a new perspective and have some new ideas come in,” she said. While Francis is considered a conservative in his theology, Brakke thinks Francis will show special emphasis on giving to the poor and will try to bring back other types of spirituality to the Catholic Church. “I think given what he’s done so far, he’s not going to change on issues of birth control, gay marriage, abortion and all that,” Brakke said. “I do think he is putting a greater emphasis on simplicity. What you might see from the pope is less talk about issues of gender and sexuality, which turn off people, but more talk about spirituality, caring about people’s souls, worrying about the poor and doing the kinds of acts and services that Christians should do.”

After posting an 18-13 mark this year, OSU did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The team then decided it would not accept a bid from the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. Had OSU advanced to the NCAA Tournament this season and been eliminated in the early rounds of the competition, Willis said on Tuesday that the end of Foster’s career at OSU was still possible. Willis said OSU will immediately begin a national search for its next coach. The search will include coaches that are currently coaching in the postseason. “Our search will unfold as the postseason unfolds,” said Willis, who added that OSU would not reach out to coaches at other universities until their respective team’s postseason run was over.

“Personally, I think it’s exciting,” he said. “I think it’s the beginning of a new era in treating psychiatric problems.” Alexa McGuire, a second-year student in neuroscience, said that after learning about TMS in a class, she approves of the treatment based on what it can accomplish. “I am actually really favorable about it because with depression, antidepressants have a lot of really negative side effects that people don’t like and there’s kind of a stigma that comes along with being on antidepressants,” McGuire said. “It’s really favorable from a science perspective I think and from a personal perspective really.”

Craft, Scott set the floor on fire for OSU The anxiety level on the court seems to heighten. If the opposing team’s players weren’t in fear of the defense in front of them before, they almost surely are now. This is what happens when Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott play together, two quick defensiveminded guards that give ball handlers more trouble than they usually can manage. It’s been occurring more often lately, too, and it’s a major reason for Ohio State’s surge into the NCAA Tournament. The Buckeyes, a No. 2 seed in the West Region, take on No. 15 seed Iona Friday in Dayton. Last season, it was the combination of two-time all-American Jared Sullinger and then-sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas that OSU rode to the Final Four. This March, the Buckeyes most potent duo might be that of Craft, a junior guard, and Scott, a sophomore. They don’t score or rebound at the rate Sullinger and Thomas did; their effect on the game comes largely on the opposite end of the floor. During OSU’s three-game run to the Big Ten Tournament title in Chicago last weekend, Craft and Scott combined for 13 steals. In the Buckeyes’ two biggest wins down the stretch in the regular season, Michigan State on Feb. 24 and at Indiana on March 5, Craft and Scott totaled 11 steals. “We held a lot of teams to less points than they usually have. The defense we played was great for us,” Scott said. Craft has been, OSU coach Thad Matta said, the best defender in the country, “no question,” for the past two seasons. Scott’s ascension to defensive lore has taken some time to develop. “I think he has grown into it,” Matta said. “I think in essence what changed was his mentality. I give Shannon a ton of credit, being perceptive enough to understand what (he) has to do to help this basketball team.” Before Scott arrived in Columbus for his freshman season in 2011, he was hardly the defensive presence he is now. “He and I joke, ‘You didn’t have to play very hard in high school, did you?’ I joked with him, ‘How many charges did you take?’ He said, ‘I’ve never taken a charge,’” Matta said.

One of Matta’s biggest selling points to Scott during the Georgia native’s recruitment was that he would get to play against Craft every day in practice. Now, they’ve been going head-to-head for nearly two years. It’s made them both better players. “I can pressure him, he can pressure me, and it kind of pushes us that way,” Craft said. “It’s made both of them better players,” Matta said. “You look at the growth of both guys, when Shannon got here, I said if you go against him every day, there’s no one in college basketball that can guard like him.” The two play at such a high level in practice, OSU’s coaching staff has to bottle them up at times. “The thing we have to watch at times is those two take such a beating with all the ball screens. We have to give them a break every time we can,” Matta said. Of the duo, Craft gets most of the credit. He’s the one on the cover of all the magazines, the one fans swoon over. But this season, Scott has been just as good, if not better, statistically, when it comes to defense. Scott has the best defensive rating of any player in the Big Ten, a statistic used to measure a player’s capability to prevent the other team from scoring. He was third in the conference in steals behind Craft, despite playing 13 minutes less per game. Scott led the conference in steal percentage, taking the ball away on 5.7 percent of an opposing team’s possessions while on the floor. Craft said Scott makes himself unforgettable while playing defense. “He’s very pesky. He does a really good job of not quitting on plays,” Craft said of his counterpart. “Even if you get by him, or you think he’s set by a screen, he’s right by you right away. You really have to be careful with the ball. You just can’t forget about him.” Craft’s no slouch, either, checking in at second in the Big Ten in steals per game and fourth in steal percentage. The two have benefited offensively by playing together as well. When they are on the floor together, Craft slides off the ball with Scott taking the point. This allows Scott to push the ball in transition and Craft to focus more on scoring. “You see things a little differently,” Craft said of playing

Offense ‘operated at probably 60% last year’ PATRICK MAKS Sports editor maks.1@osu.edu In a corporate-like manner, running backs coach Stan Drayton explained how the Ohio State football team’s offense still hasn’t reached its potential. Based on his calculation, it’s really not even close. “We operated at probably about 60 percent last year,” Drayton said. In most contexts, it’s a figure hardly associated as a passing grade and arguably less than a fitting one for an offense that averaged 37 points per game. If functioning at only 60 percent, though, the Buckeyes weren’t half bad last year. In its first undefeated season since 2002, OSU’s revitalized offense ranked 21st out of 124 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in scoring offense en route to a total of 446 points. In particular, it was the Buckeyes’ ground game that breathed life into such success. Under the direction of coach Urban Meyer, OSU’s 10th-ranked rushing offense averaged 242 yards rushing behind the steady legs of rising junior quarterback Braxton Miller and rising senior running back Carlos Hyde. Miller ran the ball for 1,271 yards and 13 touchdowns while Hyde ran for 970 yards and 16 scores. The duo proved potent throughout OSU’s 2012 campaign, but Drayton said tape of last year reveals a clear weakness. “Here’s the deal: when you sit there and you study our film, you see safeties sitting there at eight yards because (Hyde and Miller) are in the backfield,” he said. Why? He said it stems from the lack of a consistent aerial attack. “The moment we are able to pose a pass threat, those safeties can’t sit at eight yards around the box,” Drayton said, “they’re going to have to play defense and play some coverage.” At times, Miller and the

OSU then-junior running back Carlos Hyde reaches the ball out while being tackled during a game against Indiana on Oct. 13 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. OSU won, 52-49. Buckeyes found ways to air the ball out. But collectively, OSU finished 105th in passing yards per game. It’s why in addition to developing the team’s relatively young receiving corps, OSU is trying to mold rising redshirt senior running back Jordan Hall into a hybrid type of player — one who can attack opposing defenses with his prowess for not only running the ball, but catching it in space as well. “We have a lot of playmakers on offense, first off. I think I can just be another one, another person the defense has to prepare for,” Hall said. Touted as likely the starting running back heading into 2012, Hall missed nine games last year with a torn PCL before being granted a medical redshirt for the 2013 season. The Jeannette, Pa., native, who served as captain last season, said he’s trying to embrace what the coaching staff wants him to be.

But even Hall said his role is mysterious to him as it is to those trying to figure out what impact he could have on this year’s squad. “I really don’t know to be honest … I’m really trying to figure it out for myself, too,” Hall said. “I knew everything at running back and, right now, I’m still trying to learn this position.” Still, Hall said it’s a position that accentuates his skill set. “Usually when you catch the ball as a receiver, there’s two people to make miss,” he said. “And as a running back, you got to run through D-line, linebackers, safeties.” For OSU, the man trucking through defenses’ lines of resistance is Hyde, who came back to Columbus after flirting with the possibility of jumping to the NFL. “I thought about it, yeah. But then I really thought hard, and I was like, I want to come back, you know?” said Hyde, who started at running back last season.

“I want to come back and get that 1,000 yards, you know, and raise that crystal ball, so why not?” The move could pay dividends for an OSU team trying to improve its aerial attack but maintain a steady punch with the running game. “Once we get that balance in our offense, we’re hoping it to be very explosive here,” Drayton said. It could be the difference in the Buckeyes’ chase for a Big Ten and national championship.

with Scott on offense. “You don’t have to worry about taking care of the ball as much. You can sit back and read the defense a little more. It’s just really helped out as a whole.” The duo has been a critical aspect of OSU’s “small” lineup that also features Thomas and sophomore forwards LaQuinton Ross and Sam Thompson. That quintet was on the floor in the closing minutes of the Buckeyes’ game against Wisconsin Sunday, in which OSU won its fourth Big Ten Tournament championship, 50-43. “It really helps us space the floor out … with LaQuinton and Deshaun’s ability to guard multiple positions, it gives us a lot of mismatches on the offensive end,” Craft said. He and Scott will be pushed Friday. The Gaels are the second in the country in scoring at 80.7

Jones’ running mate, junior guard Sean Armand, pours in 16.6. “They have a couple guys on their team that really like to score the ball,” Craft said. “They can really get out and score the ball in a variety of ways. It’s going to be a big team defensive effort this week and that’s what we’re trying to work on.” With Craft and Scott at the helm of OSU’s defensive attack, the Gaels likely have a lot to prepare for, too.

A late surge was not enough for the No. 8 Ohio State men’s lacrosse team against Notre Dame Wednesday. The team lost for the second time this season, 9-4, against the No. 3-ranked Fighting Irish in South Bend, Ind. After an early first period goal from sophomore attacker Reegan Comeault that tied the game, 1-1, the Buckeyes failed to find the back of the net again until the beginning of the fourth quarter. In the meantime, the Notre Dame scored five goals of its own to take a 6-1 lead into the fourth quarter. Despite an OSU comeback that saw three goals within six minutes, the Buckeyes could not dig themselves out of their hole, as the Fighting Irish scored a goal after each of OSU’s to end the game, 9-4. OSU was outshot by Notre Dame 42-27 on the day, an opponent season high.

The Buckeyes’ four goals against the Fighting Irish marked a season low for the typically highscoring offense. Before Wednesday, OSU hadn’t scored less than seven goals in a game since March 3, 2012, against Penn State, when the Buckeyes lost, 5-2. Senior attacker Logan Schuss added to his point streak of 52 games with an assist to sophomore midfielder Jesse King with five minutes remaining in the game. The road loss comes after OSU upset then-No. 9 Virginia, 11-10, on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. Junior midfielder Michael Italiano was named Eastern College Athletic Conference specialist of the week on Monday for his performance against the Cavaliers with eight ground balls. Italiano had five more against the Irish Wednesday. OSU split its string of four games against top-10 teams, 2-2, bringing the team’s overall record to 5-2. The Buckeyes are set to play against Bellarmine on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Louisville, Ky., before they return home to host the defending national champion, No. 6 Loyola Maryland, a week later.

Fraternities, sororities to step into festival, Greek week SAM HARRINGTON Lantern reporter harrington.227@osu.edu Members of several fraternities and sororities will come together this weekend to tribute African culture. The National Pan-Hellenic Council’s 26th annual Step Show is slated for Saturday, in the Mershon Auditorium from 7-9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. The signature event held at the Wexner Center for the Arts will kick off both Ohio State’s African American Heritage Festival and Greek Week. After practicing for months, NPHC’s nine traditionally African-American sororities and fraternities will compete by performing their self-choreographed dance routines in front of what organizers expect to be a crowd of several thousand. Stepping, a form of dance taken from Africa, forces dancers to use their hands and feet to keep a constant and consistent beat. It combines traditional African dance with American pop culture and incorporates aspects of skits and video. “It’s a tribute to western Africa, but the teams definitely put in some of the modernization of pop culture and some of their organizational themes,” said Khristopher Johnson-Deloatch, Step Show chair and a fourth-year in economics. “We just want to give the best diverse experience as possible to as many students as possible.” Even though it is a Greek event, anyone interested is encouraged to come, Johnson-Deloatch said. Comedian William Horton, more commonly known as Spank, is scheduled to host the show, and DJ Lo-Key, a Cleveland-based DJ whose real name is Mike Haru, is set to provide music. In order to get the most points, teams must score well in all five categories: Step Show promotion, team costumes, crowd interaction, dance precision and team energy. The show splits competitors up by gender with sororities against sororities and fraternities against fraternities. Each organization will bring one alumnus familiar with stepping to judge the competition. Both the highest and lowest scores will be thrown out and a final score, made up of at most 700 points, will stand, Johnson-Deloatch said. There is no particular fraternity or sorority with a stepping

Each of the last several years has brought with it a new winner, said Johnson-Deloatch. At this point, most of the team members know their routine by heart and can perform it well with their group, but their success depends on their execution of the steps. “Everybody in my chapter, we all know the steps,” said Andrew Offorjebe, a fourth-year in consumer science and finance, who will be competing for his last time with Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. “The question is are you able to execute perfectly, precisely and then when the show comes are you able to not just remake what you did in practice but are you able to do it better?” While the competition is intense, it does not tend to turn into anything unsportsmanlike. “It’s all friendly,” said Kejuan Johnson, a second-year in

operations management, who is competing for the first time with Iota Phi Theta fraternity. “We’re going to talk our smack but (fraternities) know we’re going to respect each other at the end of the day.” Even if they are not stepping, many members of the fraternities and sororities will indirectly participate in the event, either through promotion, working with the video production or some other means. “People that can’t step, we try and have some type of aspect that allows them to get their shine,” Offorjebe said. “We are incorporating as many people as possible … it’s always a chapter effort.” Tickets went on sale Monday and can be purchased for $10 with a BuckID or $15 the day of the show from the Wexner Center website.

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.

With distaste for today’s popular country music, Todd May hones own Americana sound PATRICK BAILEY Lantern reporter bailey.829@osu.edu

Todd May is a Columbus-based singer-guitarist.

Todd May isn’t happy with the state of today’s country music. Though his music draws inspiration from classic country artists like Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt, the Columbus-based singerguitarist said he rejects the idea of popular country music today. “I’m a huge fan of country music,” May said. “The problem with saying that is I’m not sure what they’re playing on country radio.” May said the music some country stations think of as country isn’t the same idea he has in mind. “They play the same songs in Arkansas as they do in Massachusetts on country radio,” he said. “I’m not even sure, it’s more like ‘80s pop now than it is country. It resembles ‘80s pop more with, you know, boots, and maybe a pedal steel thrown in there.” May’s long musical career stretches all the way back to his Hamilton Township High School days in the late ‘80s, where he got his start playing in Ohio State campus bars before he was allowed to drink in them. Since then he has gone on to join numerous lineups, including bands such as The Lilybandits, The Mooncussers, Fort Shame, Lydia Loveless and others.

But after decades of moving from one band to the next, this year saw May’s first release as a solo artist with his album “Rickenbacker Girls,” released Feb. 19 through Peloton Records. Steven McGann, who played bass on the record and manages May through Westgate Management, said May might have waited so long because he always thought of collaboration as an important part of songwriting. “He was a bit reluctant to make it a solo project,” McGann said. “He believes in being in a band and everyone contributing to the music and having that band of brothers thing. That’s what he really likes.” May himself isn’t certain of the reason for the delay. “I’m not even sure that I set out to make a solo record as much as it kind of evolved into that (from writing with The Mooncussers),” May said, “but it’s about damn time.” While May’s music has gotten a mix of labels — including, country, rock and Americana — Pat McGann, Steven McGann’s brother and drummer for “Rickenbacker Girls,” said the music is a far cry from what’s featured on CMT and popular radio stations. “He might have a little more of an actual love for that stuff than I think a lot of the people that are playing Americana do now,” Pat McGann said. “To me it just comes off as a sincere brand of what people are calling Americana music today.”

Pat McGann said he thinks May’s music is more authentic than that of most popular artists in the style. “He doesn’t talk about things that he doesn’t know about,” Pat McGann said. “It’s real, sincere songwriting.” May said the lineup for his solo album was mostly comprised of friends and former bandmates. The exception was Pat McGann, who was invited by his brother and who had never before played in a band with May. However, Pat McGann said it wasn’t difficult to fill the role. “It was really great,” he said. “These are highquality players so it was really easy. The songs are so fun. They’re Americana, but still they were unique enough that they inspired unique parts in everybody.” May has always identified himself as a songwriter over a guitarist. “I started playing guitar and I realized that there were so many people that were better than me at it, so I decided maybe I’d better write songs,” May said. “Probably because I had a better chance of starting a band, joining a band or lasting in a band if that was more my role. So that’s what I started doing.” Yet even on his only solo album, May welcomed musical input from his bandmates, Steven McGann said.

Multi-instrumentalist solo artist to pump out variety of musical genres in Columbus show AMANDA CARBERRY Lantern reporter carberry.8@osu.edu A little indie rock, country, reggae and rock ‘n’ roll are rolling into town this weekend — all from one woman in a solo show. Kristen Ford is scheduled to perform at the Woodlands Tavern 8 p.m. Sunday. The Ohio native often performs with the Kristen Ford Band, which has changed membership several times during the three years she’s been playing with the band. “I like it being the Kristen Ford Band because I can control who plays with me and if someone can’t make it, finding a replacement is not a big deal,” Ford said. She usually has a five-piece band, consisting of drums, trumpet, bass, violin and Ford on lead guitar, however while on the road performances could be anything from the five members to a trio or a duo. But for her show at Woodlands Tavern, her band will not be present. “The Ohio shows I will actually be solo. It’s a pretty big sound, I play percussion with my feet, and I play three different string instruments, harmonica, beat box, I use a looping pedal to make things sound fuller, and I make up songs with audience help,” Ford said. One of her favorite songs to perform is

Kristen Ford is slated to perform at the Woodlands Tavern March 24. “Pretty Little Mind” from the EP “Airplane,” she said, adding it has a great hook and storyline, which the audience usually reacts well to. Ford described her music as mostly indie rock, however she likes to mix acoustic, electric elements, as well as reggae, rock ‘n’ roll, country and even a little pop.

“I love a good pop song hook,” Ford said. Some students noted that her music sounds a lot different than typical artists of today. “She sounded a lot different than anything that I usually hear on the radio,” said Taylor Stevens, a second-year in psychology. However, Jess Cooper, a second-year in

pharmaceutical sciences, thinks Ford’s music sounds comparable to other artists. “I like the sound, but it is not the type of music I would study to or listen to in the car,” Cooper said. “(But) I think she sounds really similar to other contemporary artists I have heard.” The Kristen Ford Band helped Ford with her third and latest record “The Grindstone,” released in September 2011, and is working on a follow-up, she said. “The next album should be fun. It’s going to be a more big band with electronic elements and soulful with some hip-hop,” Ford said. Ford said she is an independent artist, which comes with a bit of responsibilities. “I am the booking agent, I’m the publicist, I’m the touring manger, I’m the artist, I’m the guitar tech,” she said. Ford is on a seven-week international tour. She will be traveling to major cities in the U.S. as well as traveling abroad to Berlin and Barcelona. The Woodlands Tavern is located at 1200 W. 3rd Ave.

‘American Idiot’ musical a shift from Green Day’s essence ARTS Columnist

Fans looking for a Green Day fix might want to miss the play infused with the band’s songs that’s in town this week. “American Idiot” the musical ALEXIS PRESKAR premiered in preskar.1@osu.edu Columbus Tuesday night to a mostly full house at the Palace Theatre, though this was not the typical Green Day audience. A mix of seniors and middle-aged couples made up the majority of the crowd, while there was a noticeable lack of the band’s staple fan base: teenagers. The show went through the “American Idiot” album with a few additional songs from other albums. Overall the singing was strong, but the female cast outshined the males. The set was composed of a giant wall with several TVs showing different images for each song, such as former president George W. Bush flipping off the camera during “Holiday.” The cast’s costumes fit right in with the angst-ridden teen theme — they looked like something I might have purchased at Hot Topic when I was 13 years old. The storyline didn’t really pick up until about

20 minutes into the show, when it became obvious that the three friends (Johnny, Tunny and Will) were heading off in different directions to shake off the boredom of suburban life. Johnny and Tunny originally headed to the city together after Will had to stay home on account of his pregnant girlfriend. The friends soon separated as Tunny became enamored with the idea of war while Johnny fell for drugs and a rebellious woman. The anger portrayed by the cast felt forced at times, not genuine hatred of “the man” and dysfunctional family lives. The highlights of the show came in two supporting characters, Whatsername and St. Jimmy. Whatsername, played by Alyssa DiPalma, had powerful vocals and palpable rage in songs like “Letterbomb” in which she berated Johnny for his drug habit. It seemed juvenile that such a powerful female would spend most of her stage time in her underwear or barely dressed, but it did help illustrate the sexual nature of her and Johnny’s relationship. St. Jimmy, played by Trent Saunders, sauntered onto the stage looking like a spaceage drag queen and provided an enjoyable vocal range and evil presence as Johnny’s drug dealer. It was not entirely clear by the end of the show whether St. Jimmy really existed or was simply a figment of Johnny’s imagination. As a Green Day fan, I found some parts of the show disjointed from the story of the album. When Tunny is in a hospital bed after being injured at war, a flying phantom comes down to visit him and ends up as the girl of his dreams in

a genie costume. The whole scene watched like a bad “I Dream of Jeannie” remake. The dancing also seemed out of place. The cast would shimmy and shake like a cheerleading squad and in the next breath pull moves more in the vein of an MC Hammer video. None of this was what I expected from an album that usually produced moshing and stomping at Green Day concerts. The show had one final flaw with not one, but two false endings. At the end of “Homecoming” the story seemed finished as the friends had come home and talked of their journeys. Then the show started back up with Johnny singing “Whatsername,” after which the cast took a bow and the curtain fell. At this point many in the audience had left, but there was one last hurrah as the entire cast sang “Good Riddance” with acoustic guitars, reminiscent of a camp sing-a-long. Overall, the show was enjoyable for a musical, but being a longtime fan of the band and the album I couldn’t get past this frankly odd remake. If musical theater is your thing, give it a shot. But if you’re looking to hear Green Day, I’d wait till the band comes to town. “American Idiot” is slated to continue at the Palace Theatre, located at 34 W. Broad St., Thursday and Friday with performances at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or the CAPA Theatre Box Office, located at 39. E. State St., and start at $28.

Todd May is a Columbus-based singer-guitarist.

“Working with Todd was really easy because he had such a good vision for these songs coming in, but at the same time wanting to be in a band and enjoying other people’s comments,” Steven McGann said. “He was open to other people’s suggestions. It was just smooth. Everybody was happy to be a part of the project.” Pat McGann said he thinks May’s work stands out from that of his contemporaries and isn’t getting the recognition it deserves. “This record is one of the highlights of my entire musical career,” Pat McGann said, “and I‘ve been playing in bands since I was 17, and I’m 44. The guy’s special. For whatever reason, he still hasn’t broken through.” Despite the lack of widespread fame Pat McGann feels May deserves, May said he’s happy with his accomplishments. “I can’t really complain,” he said. “I get to play with some really great people, like Sue Harshe from Scrawl and Fort Shame and Lydia. Those are two of my favorite songwriters in the world. I’m pretty happy where I am.”

‘American Idiot’ the musical is set to run through March 24 at the Palace Theatre.

May said he still sometimes can’t believe the level of success he has achieved. “You know, sometimes I’ll realize, this is kind of crazy, that here I’m this kid from the south side of Columbus and I’m doing this, and they’re paying me to play my songs in a place I’ve never been,” he said. Steve McGann said May’s work ethic makes him stand out. “He’s a really good artist and he believes in working,” he said. “The busier he is, the happier he is.” And May continues to keep busy, with hopes to record with Loveless in April and a new Mooncussers record in the works. May plans to visit the campus area on April 6 at 9 p.m. to play a show supporting his new album at Rumba Café, located at 2507 Summit St.

[ spotlight ] Timberlake soars, celeb relationships, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end LAUREN WEITZ Lantern reporter weitz.20@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.

Jenna Fischer (left) stars as Pam Beesly and John Krasinski (right) as Jim Halpert in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Office,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which filmed its final episodes this week.

Justin Timberlake confirms rumors of second volume of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 20/20 Experienceâ&#x20AC;? Timberlake is taking the world by storm, and I for one am not complaining. After releasing his new album â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 20/20 Experienceâ&#x20AC;? Tuesday, it quickly rose to the top of the charts and is currently the No. 1 selling album on iTunes. J.T. joined the Five-Timer club after hosting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Liveâ&#x20AC;? for his fifth time on March 9, and brought back the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dick in a Boxâ&#x20AC;? duo with the help of Andy Samberg. Timberlake continued to take over late night when he appeared on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Night with Jimmy Fallonâ&#x20AC;? every day last week as a part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timberweek,â&#x20AC;? where he performed songs from his new album and appeared in various sketches with Fallon all week. But just when we thought Timberlake was done blowing our minds, he announced on Monday that a second volume of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 20/20 Experienceâ&#x20AC;? will be released â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say when. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to clear up the rumors. This whole thing about this only being the

first part â&#x20AC;Ś is true. There is another half. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not giving you a release date,â&#x20AC;? the singer said at his album release party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? finishes filming its ninth and final season After nine seasons of practical jokes and office hilarity, the lights were turned off in Dunder Mifflin for the last time. On Saturday the final scene of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? was filmed. As a fan of the show, I found myself getting sentimental as stars of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? tweeted their closing remarks about the depressing day. Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute, tweeted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting ready to go to work at Dunder Mifflin for the very last time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day for comedy. And paper.â&#x20AC;? The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best boss even tweeted out some love to his former cast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinking of the cast, crew, writers, et al of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on your final day of filming. Love you,â&#x20AC;? tweeted Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott before leaving the show in its seventh season. My favorite tweet came from John Krasinski, Jim Halpert on the show, who tweeted this the day after the filming was completed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the greatest honor to be a part of this show! Thanks for getting behind it. Yup... Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she said.â&#x20AC;? The hour-long series finale will air on May 16 at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Hollywood couples struggle to stay together Is there something in the air that is causing all of these Hollywood breakups? A slew of breakup news hit entertainment news sites this week. On Tuesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Us Weeklyâ&#x20AC;? reported that Katy Perry and John Mayer have broken up for the second time. I was shocked and slightly let down when Perry and Russell Brand broke up in 2011, as they seemed like a perfect match for each other. Now, singing-duo Perry and Mayer are calling it quits after casually dating since last summer. After dating for more than two years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? host Ryan Seacrest and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe Havenâ&#x20AC;? actress Julianne Hough called it quits, according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;E! News.â&#x20AC;? The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy work lives and hectic schedules was too much to handle, so they decided to take a break and just be friends. Funny guy Seth MacFarlane and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thronesâ&#x20AC;? star Emilia Clarke also recently broke up, according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;E! News.â&#x20AC;? The couple was first spotted together as an item last September but have recently called it quits due to a long-distance relationship caused from them working in different parts of the world. Oh, and other bad news in the celebrity world of dating. Bradley Cooper is reportedly dating 20-year-old British model Suki Waterhouse, according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;E! News.â&#x20AC;? The 38-year-old gorgeous actor is dating someone my age. Sorry ladies, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just as upset as you are.

travel the Town A weekly spotlight on one of Columbusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boroughs.

Columbusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Short North arts district offers visitors taste of Turkey, Italy, spicy salsa dancing ROSE DAVIDSON Lantern reporter davidson.347@osu.edu Columbus is brimming with interesting neighborhoods beyond the borders of Ohio State. Each week, The Lantern will spotlight an area in or around Columbus. Most students have at least heard about the Short North before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that chic, eclectic arts district nestled between campus and downtown. The progressive, youthful area is filled with restaurants, shops and entertainment options, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a straight shot down High Street on the No. 2 Central Ohio Transit Authority bus line. Short North is an enticing place to visit all year long.

Shop A promoter of Fair Trade products, Global Gallery at 682 N. High St. sells a variety of handcrafted items. Jewelry, clothing, body products, dishes and small pieces of artwork can usually be found in the store. Though some items can be a bit expensive, the store is an ideal shopping destination for those wishing to directly support artisans around the globe. Karavan: Treasures from Turkey, located at 771 N. High St., is another store with items from abroad. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loads of jewelry to be found inside, almost filling up the entirety of the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first of two rooms. Perhaps the most intriguing items sold in the store, however, are the beautiful Turkish lanterns. The mosaic glass pieces are all handmade and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Dine No matter what kind of food youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood for, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost guaranteed to find it at North Market. Located at 59 Spruce St., the indoor market houses more than 30 independent merchants under one roof. From Thai and Indian to Polish and Italian, each vendor doles out something different. Diners can also get some grocery shopping done as they browse the aisles, with vendors selling a variety of meats, cheeses, spices and other specialty foods to take home. For a bit of a splurge, Marcellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 615 N. High St. is an excellent place to get a taste of fine Italian cuisine. The price is well worth the payoff, with tasteful yet simplistic dishes like the fettucine and meatball for $13 or the chicken Parmesan for $15.95. The trendy restaurant also cooks up some intriguing appetizers, including the melted pecorino cheese with toasted bread, apple slices and truffle honey for $10.

Explore Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a shortage of entertainment in the Short North, especially on the weekends. One of the most popular events by far is the Short North Gallery Hop, which takes place on the first Saturday of every month. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when more than 40 arts spaces, including galleries, boutiques and restaurants, open their doors and show off a range of works by local, national and international artists. For an evening with a spicier note, La Fogata Grill at 790 N. High St. offers salsa dancing every Friday night. The dance floor, located above the Mexican restaurant in the Upper Lounge, opens at 8 p.m. for a two-hour dance lesson or 10 p.m. for regularly scheduled dancing. There is a cover charge, which is $10 with a lesson and $7 without, and the lively Latin dancing lasts until 2 a.m.
