thelantern Larger compliance staff audits athletes PATRICK MAKS Asst. sports editor maks.1@osu.edu Almost two years after “Tattoo-Gate� shook Ohio State’s athletic department to its core, changes to the way it monitors violations are being implemented. But one official says no matter how good compliance may be, there might always be a chance that a player or coach slips through the cracks.

In December 2010, a scandal surfaced that rocked Buckeye Nation, ultimately resulting in the resignation of former OSU football coach Jim Tressel, a bowl ban for the 2012 season and vacating the 2010 season. Five OSU football players were suspended for improperly receiving benefits in the form of tattoos in exchange for autographs and OSU memorabilia, and since what has come to be known as “Tattoo-Gate� has surfaced, OSU has experienced a compliance shift.

In an 805-page report sent to the NCAA this August, the Buckeyes’ athletic compliance staff presented its plans to make itself more apt to handle and prevent a scandal like the one that made national headlines in December 2010. The Buckeyes football team now faces preventative measures, some of which OSU athletics director Gene Smith said are a novelty.

OSU football players will randomly be audited by compliance staff to ensure they still have all the memorabilia they’ve collected throughout their careers at OSU. “There’s time when you have to bring them in to certify that you’ve retained them and, or certify where they are,�

Smith said in an exclusive interview with The Lantern on Oct.

FAWAD CHEEMA AND ANNA DUEE Senior Lantern reporter and Lantern reporter cheema.21@osu.edu and duee.1@osu. edu Questions on how different distractions affect drivers might soon get answered at Ohio State.

The OSU Office of Research and Honda R&D Americas, Inc. opened the new $1.3 million OSU Driving Simulation Laboratory Thursday morning. The lab was designed to help researchers learn more about the distractions drivers face while driving and ways to prevent distraction on the road.

The Kinnear Road lab includes driver simulators that give a real driving experience in a real Honda car.

Jan Weisenberger, OSU senior associate vice president for OSU’s Office of Research, said studying drivers’ behaviors in a simulated driving environment holds many advantages for researchers. “It will allow scientists to monitor people’s heart rate, eye movement and stress levels while they are in a realistic driving environment,�

Weisenberger said. “University researchers can study attention,

cognition, stress and workload, and also special populations like teenagers.�

OSU President E. Gordon Gee said he’s very excited and proud about the partnership with Honda to build the lab and believes it will create opportunities for the campus in the future. “This particular program is going to make yet another symbolic signal that research in the future, business in the future, collaboration in the future and the ability to make a difference is going to occur right here

on this campus with these kinds of partnerships,� Gee said.

Steven Feit, chief engineer at Honda R&D Americas, said Honda is also looking forward to working with OSU and doing research studies in the lab. “Honda is very excited about this new partnership with Ohio State, and we can’t wait to get started in some of our research,� Feit said.

Part of the lab’s opening ceremony was to demonstrate the driver simulators and give people a better understanding of the lab and its inner

The average time to complete a college degree might be shortened for college students in Ohio, but some Ohio State faculty aren’t on board with the plan.

As of Monday, Ohio’s 13 public universities have made 10 percent of their programs achievable for students in three years as part of an initiative approved by Ohio Gov. John Kasich and state legislation, according to a release from the Ohio Board of Regents.

By 2014, students should have the option to complete 60 percent of the

universities’ offered programs in just three years, according to the release.

Jim Petro, the Ohio Board of Regents chancellor, said in the press release that “time can be the enemy of many students,� and that giving students the chance to complete their degree in less time will increase the number of degrees and get students into the workforce faster. “Giving students the option of earning a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four or more years will help them save money while encouraging the completion of their college education,� Petro said in the release.

workings. Weisenberger said she thought the demonstration went well and that it was a success overall. “The demonstration went great,� she said. “People had the opportunity to sit in the simulators and experience how it feels to drive in different situations. President Gee also sat in one.�

The lab will benefit the university and Honda R&D Americas equally, said Frank Paluch, senior vice president of Honda R&D Americas, as the lab will help Honda develop safer and more intuitive cars. “This new simulator will be a new arm of safety research capabilities,� Paluch said. “To gain a deeper understanding of our customers, and to advance our ability to create even more safe, smart, intuitive Honda and Acura, and that’s why we have invested our time and money into this simulator.�

Although the lab isn’t open to the public and OSU students yet, Weisenberger said she thinks there will be tours available to OSU students after fully testing the lab. “It’s not immediately open, but we eventually want students to come in and learn more about the technology and research methods our simulation lab provides,� she said.

campus Passion propels running club adviser to C-Bus Marathon mark batke For the Lantern batke.3@osu.edu

Courtesy of OSU

Jeff Pelletier, a 2002 OSU graduate and associate director of events at the Ohio Union.

Since 1994, Jeff Pelletier has run farther then the distance between Boston and Los Angeles. Twice.

The Ohio State alumnus plans to add another 26.2 miles to the tally with Sunday’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon.

It won’t his first race either. Since 1994, he has run 10 marathons and 13 half-marathons, and the races have taken him to places from Washington, D.C. to Iceland.

Pelletier, who works with OSU as associate director of events at the Ohio Union, said his service in the U.S. Navy first ignited his passion for running.

“I was stationed in Connecticut in the Navy after I graduated from college, and I used to go out for runs with a buddy who was stationed there too,” Pelletier said. “It all started by just going on three- or fourmile runs a couple days a week.”

Pelletier has been on the move ever since.

“He loves it. There is just something inside him,” said Pelletier’s wife, Jen Pelletier, who works as associate director of the Union. “Even when it is cold and dark and maybe rainy, he will still get up and go out running.”

It is the same passion for running that causes Jeff Pelletier to

encourage others to participate in a marathon or half-marathon. He is currently the chapter adviser for the OSU Fraternity Delta Tau Delta and the faculty adviser for the OSU Running Club.

Jeff Pelletier said several students in his fraternity and the OSU Running Club are planning to run in the Columbus Marathon this weekend.

“My hope is that we are able to run at least a portion of it together, but it’s hard to ever feel like you’re running alone when you have 15,000 people running alongside you,” Jeff Pelletier said.

Erica Kelly, president of OSU Running Club, said Jeff Pelletier’s role in making the club a success has encouraged her to sign up to run in the Columbus Marathon for the second year in a row.

“I did my first (half-marathon) last year at Columbus because so many people in the club were doing it,” Kelly said. “So running in the Columbus Marathon for the past two years can be attributed to the OSU Running Club.”

Jeff Pelletier said being able to share his passion of running with the next generation of athletes and watching how hard they train is what makes him look forward to the future of the sport.

“You really do have to be dedicated to the cause to be able to get out and do those miles several days a week,” he said. “There’s no medal at the end of a 20-mile weekend training run.”

The Columbus Marathon is set to start near the intersection of Broad and Third streets in downtown Columbus at 7:30 a.m. for walkers and runners Sunday morning.

Local suit shop uses social media to expand the brand hannah brokenshire Lantern reporter brokenshire.2@osu.edu Prepare to see a fleet of well-dressed guys on campus next week, as Pursuit menswear shop expands in upcoming months and launches its first campus ambassador program.

With a successful first year under its belt, the suit shop, which began as Ohio State alumnus Nate DeMars’ class project, will launch its first class of campus ambassadors on Oct. 21 with nationwide expansion in mind.

“The idea behind the program here is to infiltrate OSU as far as we can with peers in a non-pressure way,” DeMars said. “The bigger picture is we really want to have teams like this on major campuses across the country.”

Ohio University, Miami (Ohio) and Indiana University are possible candidates for the next Pursuit pop-up suiting shop, though DeMars said he is not sure which will be first.

Currently located in the South Campus Gateway at 1572 N. High St., the Pursuit team consists of about 20 people, including six student interns and nine campus ambassadors.

The interns don’t get course credit for their positions, but that might change by the spring. The interns have specific roles, while the ambassadors position is similar to a brand spokesman. “(The ambassadors’) role is to spread awareness of the Pursuit story among their peers, plan events that engage Pursuit in the campus life and provide insights, as part of our core customer demographic, as to how we can grow the company,” DeMars said.

Jake Mendel, Pursuit’s director of development and a second-year in finance, said the ambassadors are “essentially our boots on the ground and our faces in every classroom.”

“Their job is to look good and say, ‘Hey man, you need a suit? If you want to look like this, come check out Pursuit,’” Mendel said.

The program is a way to formalize what loyal supporters were doing already; bringing in friends and promoting the brand within their social groups, DeMars said.

With a primary customer base of college-aged young professionals, the use of social media has been a key element in developing the brand.

“Social media has been an easy way for us (to) jump-start the ambassador program. retweeting Pursuit, tagging a picture on Instagram or sharing on Facebook,” said Nimi Krukrubo, a Pursuit ambassador and a fourth-year in accounting.

Roger Juang, second-year in logistics and operations management, found out about Pursuit through Facebook photos of Pursuit-sponsored T-shirts for the senior bar crawl in 2011.

“There’s not a huge budget for marketing, but social media is utilized very well,” Juang said, now an operations intern and ambassador for Pursuit.

In honor of its first anniversary, Pursuit will be holding a sale until the end of October. The sale percentage will be based on shares and retweets of its video “Pursuit: Suiting the Next Generation.”

The video received 115 shares and retweets during the first 48 hours of its release, which DeMars said means the store’s best-selling suit will be $115 off next week.

The price range for normal suits is $199 to $399, and available brands include popular brands like DKNY and Calvin Klein and lesser-

From the company’s beginnings, DeMars set out to build a brand that would set itself apart from the stereotypical suiting experience.

“Traditional suit stores are either really generic and boring or they’re super uppity and pretentious,” DeMars said. “College guys can’t afford that stuff, so our goal was to be more relevant and cool.”

DeMars said despite Pursuit’s boutique appearance, the products it sells are not overly expensive and cater to a college students’ needs.

“You don’t need to be the most fashionable to look good. Most guys coming in are buying a suit for a job interview or a fraternity formal,” DeMars said.

While being style-savvy is not a Pursuit shopper requirement, DeMars gives credit to ambassadors’ ability to advise on menswear trends.

Jordan Wright, retail development coordinator and a third-year in strategic communication, agreed that Pursuit’s atmosphere includes a great deal of peer advice.

“It’s like a manly game of dress-up,” Wright said.

For many members of the Pursuit team, customer interaction is the highlight of the working day.

“The most rewarding thing is when you get the guy who doesn’t know what he needs or has gone through the traditional suiting process and is wearing something like a box, or borrowed from his dad. Then you measure him, throw some things on and when they look in the mirror for the first time, their eyes light up and you know right there.

It’s like (the TLC television show) ‘Say Yes to the Dress,’ it’s the one,” Mendel said.

Compliance from 1A 3. “Because you may give them to your mom, you might have a divorce situation and your mom is somewhere else. We gotta certify that she’s got it.

So we periodically do those spot checks. That’s an audit to make sure you still have the things that we gave you.�

The process is entirely random, Smith said. “It could be tomorrow, so it’s just kinda like drug testing,� Smith said.

Going forward, OSU will limit the opportunity for athletes to take home their memorabilia. Smith said OSU will store memorabilia for the players and give it to them when they leave the university. “We retain a lot of things, so we build a locker room in our equipment room,� Smith said. “So for certain jerseys and helmets, we keep those here until you graduate or your eligibility expires because, you know, somebody may leave and we give them their stuff.�

Auditing, however, isn’t limited to memorabilia.

Players’ cars are subject to the practice, too. “You have a car, you register that car with us,�

Smith said. “We check it every now and then just to make sure there’s no change. “We’ll go over to the parking lot, walk around, check cars, check their numbers, things of that nature, just to make sure nothing’s changed or see if there’s any new cars that pop up.�

OSU associate athletics director for compliance Doug Archie said the compliance office puts a sticker on registered cars. “You have to remember that parking lot is a public parking lot ‌ so by putting the sticker in the car, we can easily identify a car that we already knew about,â€? Archie said.

Smith said the university is very vigilant in checking cars. “We check them all out, just to be sure that nobody got a loaner that they shouldn’t have,� he said.

Archie said while auditing cars is something they’ve “always done� to an extent, it’s being enhanced and performed more than before.

Josephine Potuto, Nebraska’s faculty representative for the NCAA, said the process of auditing is a “necessary requirement of an effective compliance system.�

Potuto, who spent the NCAA’s maximum nine years on the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions, said institutions typically “do a pretty good job of educating student-athletes and staff and boosters and others about NCAA rules� in addition to “maintaining records that need to be maintained from student athletes and staff.�

Where they don’t do as well, she said, is tracking the records for accuracy and following up with those who submitted the records. “Nobody expects any institution is going to be able to do a one-on-one, you know, running around after everything, checking-everything system,� she said.

OSU’s increased focus on auditing, however, seems to be just a small part of a much larger renovation.

OSU merged all of its compliance program — including athletics — into one system.

The university also increased the athletics compliance staff from seven members to 12. Archie said some members of the staff focus on specific sports.

The best example of this, arguably, is the addition of Brad Bertani, OSU’s assistant athletic director for compliance who was hired in March.

Degree from 1A tuition and fees each year, and out-of-state students pay $25,445 in tuition and fees in addition to costs for housing and supplies. While graduating one year earlier would save students money, some OSU faculty think this initiative isn’t doing students any favors academically.

Wayne Carlson, OSU’s vice provost for Undergraduate Studies and Dean of Undergraduate Studies , has questioned whether three years are enough time to receive a quality education and the full college experience. “If students choose to do that, they are missing out on a significant part of university experience,�

Carlson said. “I don’t know if it’s worth it.�

Carlson said he is a firm believer in the traditional four-year degree program. “The maturation process of students is very noticeable in their fourth year,� Carlson said. “And the amount of classes and the workload (in completing a program in three years) can stop students from entering clubs and participating in other activities.�

Although this three-year option is not advertised to potential and current students, it has been available for the past year-and-a-half, Carlson said. “Very few students take advantage of the

Bertani, who was Tennessee’s associate athletics director for compliance since 2004, is assigned specifically to the Buckeyes’ football team and is paid $90,000 annually. “He handles all of their immediate compliance needs and he’s right there,� Archie said. “He’s housed in football and travels with them with the idea of them getting so familiar with him that they’ll just view him as an extension of their staff.�

Bertani did not respond to The Lantern’s request for comment.

Archie said having five more compliance staff members allows them to “make each compliance staff member’s world smaller� with less sports to focus on and “help them to get to know the studentathletes better.� “Brad knows that whole team by face and by name and is able to interact with them and have down moments with them where they can share stuff and laugh,� Archie said. “I think that goes a long way to when they’re more comfortable with us, they’re more apt to ask questions, and that’s the biggest thing the additional staff members have done.�

But Potuto said a close relationship is not something she would recommend. “It’s not that it can’t work, but for me, it’s something of a risk to have somebody assigned to a particular sport, because you can get too close to the sport,� Potuto said.

Compliance’s role, she said, is “best maintained when the compliance people are officed with each other and working with each other.� “It doesn’t mean it can’t work, but as a structural matter,� Potuto said, “I’m more comfortable with putting something of a wall between compliance or academic services and individual sports.�

That said, the consensus between Potuto and Archie is that OSU has effectively positioned itself better than before “Tattoo-Gate.� “I think we’re in a lot stronger place,� Archie said. “I think that we’re in a much better place than we were two years ago.�

Potuto said the NCAA can only expect so much. “What the NCAA infractions committee has always said is you need reasonable compliance measures and you need to show that you’re doing reasonable outreach or effective stuff to assure that the compliance is adequate,� she said. “Bad apples can flip through the holes no matter how tiny the hole is. And everybody recognizes this.�

While she said she doesn’t know OSU well enough to speak directly on the matter, Potuto said part of the battle is creating a culture of compliance among the students, staff, boosters and fans with “people wanting to do the right thing.�

But no system is perfect. “Adam and Eve ate that apple; we don’t get perfection,� she said. “I think it would be foolish of me to say that (a scandal) could never happen either at Ohio State or Nebraska or anywhere else.�

The infractions committee, she said, looks for a university to have systems in place with “reasonably calculated� measures to deal with potential claims.

Potuto said that’s the “best you can ask from any program.� “Nobody can control everybody,� Potuto said. “It doesn’t matter what your system is, somebody can get around it for a while.�

www.thelantern.com credits they bring in from AP (Advanced Placement) and PSEOP (Post Secondary Enrollment Options Program) courses,� Carslon said. “And students who do usually pick up another major, a minor or study abroad. They really want to be here for four years.�

AP and PSEOP courses are designed for high school students to receive college credit for classes before attending college.

Carlson said he believes the motivation for students to graduate sooner is that it would save them money. “Unless (they) have a burning desire to enter the work force,� Carlson joked.

Some students agreed with Carlson and said they wouldn’t be interested in completing their degrees in three years.

Matthew Hankinson, a fourth-year in sustainable plant systems, said he would not have tried to graduate in three years. “It would save me money, but I do like being here,� Hankinson said. “It took some time to get the hang of the workload and studying and finally get what’s going on. I do think four years is better.�

Autumn Blatt, a third-year in psychology and journalism, also does not like the concept. “We’re already so crunched for time, trying to cram it into three would be outrageous,� Blatt said.

Columbus catwalk taken by condom style BEn KEitH Lantern reporter keith.146@osu.edu While singular condoms are usually worn by men in private, a few women broke that norm Wednesday, clothing themselves in condoms in an effort to advocate for their use.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio held its fifth annual Condom Couture fashion show Wednesday night at Shadowbox Live in downtown Columbus.

Student designers from Columbus College of Art and Design and Ohio State assembled dresses from more than 11,000 condoms, as each of the 14 designers was allotted 800 condoms for his or her design, in a competition for three scholarships.

Ange Marie Ndacayisenga, who studies psychology at OSU, didn’t win the show but said she was still happy to have the opportunity to design a garment for the show.

“I have a passion for designing, ever since I was young, but where I’m from, it’s a very poor and small country, so art in general is not supported,” said Ndacayisenga, who is from Burundi, a small African country south of Rwanda. “When I heard about the fashion show, I knew it was a good opportunity for me to exercise my designing and see what I am.”

Ndacayisenga’s dress had three parts: a tight-fitting black halter-top dress, a detachable ruffle piece that spanned from the knee to floor and a collared vest.

“I wanted to do three dresses in one,” she said.

“That way you have time to go from work to a party (or) you know, whatever.”

Victoria Harris modeled Ndacayisenga’s transforming dress on the catwalk and at the after-party. “It is so comfortable,” Harris said. “It fits like a glove. I feel like I could hang out in it all night.”

But a different transforming dress took third place in the contest, earning its designer, Marquis LuckyEngle, a third-year at CCAD, a $500 scholarship from a Planned Parenthood donor.

Lucky-Engle’s model, Deja Redman, wore a silver shell made of condom wrappers embellished with a purple flower on the right side of her chest.

Lucky-Engle is HIV positive and said since receiving his status from Planned Parenthood in Cleveland, he actively advocates for the use of condoms.

“To see condoms on a dress is one thing, but to see them used is another. I wanted to concentrate on what happens when the condoms are not used,” he said, revealing a white dress with red and blue splashes of color under the silver shell.

Second place and $500 went to Bridgette Stevens’ floor-length pink sheath dress, worn by model Katie Burk.

“My mother is a six-year breast cancer survivor, so I wanted to design something in honor of her beauty as well as the beauty of all the women who have survived such a horrific disease,” said Stevens, who is a thirdyear at CCAD. First place and a $1,000 scholarship went to

Julie Ward, a third-year at CCAD, who designed a gold-painted, rolled-condom-coated dress, worn by Carolina Peguero.

“The silhouette and the design were inspired by designer Alexander McQueen,” Ward said. “I chose him because he really represents strength and femininity, and I wanted to be a part of (the show) this year, because … of this election, and because women need to stand up for their rights.”

Tim Johns, development project director for Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio, said more than 250 people attended the event.

Robin Grant, a member of the host committee for the show, said although specific numbers weren’t available as of Wednesday night, Condom Couture 2012 raised more money than any previous year’s show.

“Over the past five years combined, Condom Couture has raised almost a half-million dollars,” Grant said.

Some of the participants weren’t in it for the money, though. Lucky-Engle said even though he won third place, he wasn’t concerned about the scholarship.

“I didn’t do it for the money, I just did it to make a statement,” Lucky-Engle said. “I know there’s no such thing as safe sex, but (for) safer sex, use condoms. HIV and AIDS are 100 percent preventable.

“That’s like me cutting my hand and you cutting your hand and we touch – it’s that (easy) to get HIV. If you don’t do that, then you’ll be good, so use condoms. I can’t say it enough. Use ‘em.”

Indie rock band Carbon Leaf to cater to C-Bus with Celtic sound FAWAD CHEEMA Senior Lantern reporter cheema.21@osu.edu As the first unsigned band to perform at the American Music Awards, Carbon Leaf played before a crowd of thousands. Despite that feat, the band still makes time for performing in more intimate settings.

Carbon Leaf, a Celtic, folk-infused indie rock band, which is based out of Richmond, Va., is scheduled to perform 8 p.m. Sunday at Woodlands Tavern.

Formed in 1992, lead vocalist Barry Privett said the band came together as a way to have fun with friends in college. Three of the band’s current members attended Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va. together.

“We didn’t have a whole lot of ambition starting out because it was more about getting together and having fun playing for your friends,” Privett said. “The response we got from our community inspired us to see if we could take it a step further and keep expanding that community beyond friends and family.”

The other members of the band include electric guitarist Terry Clark, guitarist Carter Gravatt, Jason Neal on drums and Jon Markel on electric bass.

Privett said the band decided to pursue music as a profession after college, and that its big break came in 2002 when it won the Coca-Cola New Music Award for its song “The Boxer” at the 29th Annual AMAs. “The winner got to perform live on the AMAs which was kind of a big thrill,” Privett said. “It really helped get our act together and get on the road, start touring more. It also lead to some radio play to some bigger markets because of the attention we got from the award.”

Paul Painter, booking manager at Woodlands Tavern, said that he’s booked Carbon Leaf before and expects the band will put on a good show.

“Carbon Leaf are entertaining and professional,” Painter said. “They have a devoted following so the fans always enjoy their performance.”

Painter also said the concert has been promoted in a variety of ways and should draw a good audience.

“We promote in the weeklies, The Other Paper, Columbus Alive and via social media, such as Facebook and Yelp,” Painter said. “Ticket sales are good and the show will be well-attended.”

Some Ohio State students, though, said they will not be attending the concert because they’re unfamiliar with the band and its music.

Tim Brown, a fourth-year in communication, said he likes a variety of music genres and bands, but is unfamiliar with Carbon Leaf’s music.

“I like rap, some rock and some pop, but I’ve never heard (Carbon Leaf’s) music before,” Brown said. “I won’t be going to the concert because

Privett said the band has some new music in the works, which it plans to release next year and hopes will draw in more fans that might be unfamiliar with its music.

“Right now we’re working on a batch of about 30 songs that we’re going to release at the top of 2013,” he said. “We’re not sure yet if we’re going to release them in a series of albums or if we’re just going to individually release singles.”

Privett said Sunday’s show will also give people an opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves.

“It’s just a good time and a good release,” Privett said. “We try to go up there and have a good time and get the crowd involved.”

Tickets are purchasable for $15 on the band’s website or at Woodlands Tavern, located at 1200 W. Third Ave.

[ a +e ] Eminem over the hill, on track for ‘Infinite’ success Arts Columnist Dan stout stout.156@osu.edu “But when it’s all said and done I’ll be 40 / Before I know it with a 40 on the porch telling stories / With a bottle of Jack / Two grandkids on my lap / Babysitting for Hailie while Hailie’s out getting smashed,� sings Marshall Mathers, more widely known as Eminem or Slim Shady, way back in the year 2000 on his track “Drug Ballad� from his bestselling album “The Marshall Mathers LP.�

Well, Eminem turned 40 this week, and it looks like story time is going to have to wait. The award-winning artist hasn’t shown any signs of retirement since he returned from a five-year hiatus due to going to rehab for drug addiction from 2003 to 2009.

Eminem was born Oct. 17, 1972, in Saint Joseph, Mo. Thereafter, his family moved to Detroit.

After years of living in poverty, dealing with a drug addict mother and being bullied in school, Mathers emerged onto the rap scene with his debut album “Infinite� in 1996 under his stage name Eminem.

Since then he has managed to have the kind of career longevity that is rare in the rap industry, especially for someone who has been involved in as many feuds and controversies as he has. Just last year he was named The King of Rap by Rolling Stone Magazine.

While “Infinite� released in 1996, he did not achieve much commercial success until three years later with the release of “The Slim Shady LP,� which went quadruple platinum and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 1999. After this sophomore album, Eminem continued to steam roll the rap game. His following releases, “The Marshall Mathers LP� and “The Eminem Show,� went diamond, and won Grammys for the Best Rap Album, in 2000 and 2002, respectively.

Also in 2002, Eminem starred in the Academy Award-winning movie “8 Mile,� which was loosely based off his life. The headline

song from this movie was “Lose Yourself,� which went on to be one of Eminem’s most successful track, garnering numerous awards. It was nominated for a several Grammys, won the Oscar in 2003 for Music (Original Song) and was ranked No. 12 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 greatest songs of the 2000s in a list released in 2011.

Eminem went on to release “Encore� in 2004, which went quadruple platinum, and topped the charts worldwide, but let down many of his fans. “Encore� got slammed for being too commercial — many critics called it soft, and rightfully so. While a few of the tracks, such as “Evil Deeds� and “Mosh� still held true to the traditional Eminem sound, filled with hate and anger, many of the tracks such as “Big Weenie� and “Puke� were just corny.

After “Encore,� Eminem went on a five-year hiatus, which was spent in rehab for a drug addiction, an issue he discussed often throughout his career.

In 2009 he released “Relapse� which gained commercial success, going double platinum and winning Best Rap Album at the Grammys, but also meeting a great deal of criticism. This album lead to

Eminem being written off as losing his touch, going too mainstream and accusations that he was just in it for the money. His next album “Recovery� showed that he agreed, as he took a few shots at his own “Relapse.� “Let’s be honest, that last ‘Relapse’ CD was ehhhh,� he sings on “Not Afraid� and in “Cinderella Man� he sings, “F--- my last CD that s---’s in the trash.� “Recovery� was the highest-selling album of 2010, easily making it his best album since “The Eminem Show.� “Recovery� featured much more emotional content than his two previous albums, and earned him a spot back at the 2011 Grammys, where he was awarded with Rap Album of the Year once again.

Over the years, many of Eminem’s lyrics have been met with an outpouring of criticism from various organizations, social groups and celebrities, including music icons Elton John and Michael Jackson. Yet the same style that has got him into all of his trouble has been the style that has made him one of the greatest artists of our generation, and one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Hero Jr. is scheduled to perform Oct. 19 at CafĂŠ Bourbon Street.

Some of members of Indianapolis-based rock band Hero Jr. already have close ties to Ohio State and the city of Columbus, and they’re about to get even closer — to the music scene, that is.

Two members are dating members of OSU’s synchronized swimming team, and one is a former kicker for Michigan State football who played his first game for the Spartans in the Horseshoe.

Hero Jr. is scheduled to perform 9 p.m. Friday at CafĂŠ Bourbon Street.

Matthew Haughey, the band’s 26-year-old

drummer and a native to Bridgman, Mich., emphasized the band’s close relationship with the Columbus area. “We have got some good, committed, passionate fans out there. It is becoming a home away from home and we appreciate all the support,�

Haughey said.

Hero Jr. plans to release its debut album “Backup Plan� Oct. 23 and has been on a promotional tour for it for more than a month. “We are hoping to get more national recognition,� Haughey said. “We have a high-quality product and want to get a good buzz going about the band.�

Gallo’s jazzes up meals offering Creole, Italian options Dan Stout Lantern reporter stout.156@osu.edu Gallo’s Kitchen & Bar, located at 2820 Nottingham Road in Upper Arlington, Ohio, is owned by the Gallo family, who also own Gallo’s Tap Room and most recently Gallo’s Pit BBQ. This installment of the family’s growing restaurant business offers a mixture of Italian and Creole dishes, alongside some of the most popular sandwiches from Gallo’s Tap Room.

Upon entering, the right half of the establishment comes off as a high-class sports bar, while the left side resembles a sit-down restaurant.

The bar side of the restaurant is decorated much like any other sports bar with a score of TVs surrounding the fully stocked bar, screening a selection of games.

Meanwhile on the restaurant side you can still see the televisions from every seat and the décor is much nicer. The combination of Italian paintings and smooth jazz music playing in the background really gives off the relaxed, classy, yet causal feel of the restaurant.

The best part of my experience there was the service. Right after my friend and I walked in the door, we were led to our table by the friendly, attentive staff. Our waiter disappointed tad though when he didn’t know the beer prices, which ended up being moderately priced with domestics starting around $3.

He made up for the mishap with his quick service and an apparent knowledge of the dinner menu.

Tommy Gallo, owner and head chef of the restaurant, came out of the kitchen a few times to talk to patrons, making sure they were enjoying their meals.

Once we were seated, the first thing I noticed was the extensive beer and wine list that had its own menu with beers on one side of the sheet and wines filling the other side. The wide range of beers included everything from locally crafted brews to imports such as Italy’s Peroni.

The menu itself is only two pages, and opens with the words, “The heart of Italy, the soul of New Orleans.” Beginning with the appetizers section, Gallo’s shows off its slew of dining selections with options such as $4 gumbo with rice and $9 homemade meatballs with marinara sauce. I opted to start with a small house salad with homemade pernod buttermilk dressing priced at $4. Tossed with hearts of palm, which I had never tried before and was not particularly fond of, the lettuce was fresh and the dressing delicious.

Hero Jr. from 6A

Hero Jr. is scheduled to perform Oct. 19 at Café Bourbon Street.

Lead vocalist and Haughey’s older brother Evan Haughey, does most of the managing for the band.

“The biggest challenge right now is finding a band and city to team up with and do some shows with,” Evan Haughey said.

However, when Evan Haughey can book the band’s schedule, he doesn’t shy away from overloading it with shows.

“We have definitely vamped up our touring. We do a lot of weekend warrior stuff,” Evan Haughey said. “We’re doing about 200 shows a year.”

The band offers a free MP3 download of its track “Naked” on SoundCloud and plans to tour until Christmas before working on new material.

“Touring is 100 percent the most fun thing right now,” Evan Haughey said.

“Seeing the country is a wonderful experience. We love being on tour.”

I settled on the $15 jambalaya for my main course, and I have to say it was an excellent choice. The hearty dish included chicken, andouille sausage and Tasso ham, along with rice, vegetables and a spicy seasoning. The server also brought out a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce, which went perfectly with the dish, adding a lot of extra kick. My friend opted for the Creole Seasoned Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which she also seemed to enjoy, mostly due to the fresh bread and toppings. She cautioned, however, that the chicken had “some heat to it.”

Overall the experience at Gallo’s was very good. I will definitely be going back in the near future, and highly recommend it to anyone else who wants to watch a game or go out on a nice date without spending a fortune.

Grade: A

Thus far onstage, Hero Jr. has had the opportunity to open for bands it considers successful.

“We recently got to open up for The Offspring. That was our biggest show (so) far,” Evan Haughey said.

The band hopes to tour through Columbus several times over the next year. After its show Friday, the band is slated to make a return to Columbus Nov. 4 at Scarlet & Grey Cafe.

Kyle Sowash, the promoter for Café Bourbon Street, said booking Hero Jr. isn’t a typical show for the venue.

“Café Bourbon Street has a reputation of a punk bar, but we do not like to limit ourselves based on genre,” Sowash said.

“It is a small club that can maybe fit 125 people, but we are hoping a lot of people come out and drink a lot of beer.”

While both brothers have ties to OSU, coming to Columbus has an additional meaning for Matthew Haughey. He played

football for Michigan State in 2005 and OSU’s Horseshoe was the first place he dressed for.

Wherever the tour takes them, Evan Haughey said one of his favorite aspects of touring is remaining close to his brother.

“We get along really, really well and have been close our whole lives,” Evan Haughey said.

Matthew Haughey added, “We have always been close and it’s like we are never growing up, and I’m cool with that.”

Tickets for Friday’s show are for ages 21 and up and are purchasable for $5 at the door of Café Bourbon Street, located at 2210 and 2216 Summit St.

BIG TEN STANDINGS

The Purdue Boilermakers bring a two-game losing skid into Ohio Stadium this weekend, but they aren’t lacking for confidence. After all, Purdue has recent history on its side in the series against Ohio State football.

Purdue lost its last two games to Michigan and Wisconsin by a combined score of 55 points, but that has not shaken the confidence of Purdue senior wide receiver Antavian Edison going into Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium against the undefeated No. 7-ranked Buckeyes.

“We know we’re capable of coming out with a victory,” Edison told The Lantern.

The Boilermakers are only 3-3 this season but winning against OSU would not be new for Purdue. The Boilermakers have won twice in their last three matchups against the Buckeyes, including a 26-23 overtime victory last season in West Lafayette, Ind. Edison, however, said this year’s game will be different from last season.

“Last year is last year,” Edison said. “We feel like we’re a better team … some guys, (last year’s win) may give them the confidence, but we put last year behind us. It’s a whole new year, and we’re ready to see what they have to offer, and we’re ready to go out there and play.”

Coach Danny Hope said the Boilermakers have played well in their recent victories against the Buckeyes, but that they have to be on their “A-game” to beat OSU Saturday.

“We’ve played well a couple times against them, and have played well enough to win, and that’s encouraging, but you have to play really well in order to beat them,” Hope said during Tuesday’s Big Ten coaches’ teleconference. “If we don’t take care of business, if you don’t take care of the football … they’re way too talented … we need to play better.”

Vanderbilt athletic director to apologize to Gene Smith PAT BRENNAN Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Vanderbilt University announced Thursday that it was canceling its football program’s 2013 trip to Columbus to play Ohio State because of scheduling reasons.

OSU athletic director Gene Smith didn’t approve of the way Vanderbilt canceled the game — by letter — but he was promised an apology.

Dave Williams, Vanderbilt’s vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and athletic director, said he takes full responsibility for informing Smith of the cancellation in a letter and plans to apologize.

“I apologize to (Smith) for that. I’m sorry that he’s disappointed. Gene’s a good friend and a good (athletic director) and I’m sorry it was handled that way,” Williams told The Lantern. “I take all of the blame for that.”

With less than a year until the teams’ originally scheduled Aug. 31, 2013, meeting at the Horseshoe, Smith and the OSU athletic department must seek a new opponent for the opening game of its 2013 season.

Vanderbilt was to receive $1.2 million for its visit to Ohio Stadium, but coach Urban Meyer’s first season in Columbus without a bowl ban will have to begin against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

In a statement provided to The Lantern earlier on Thursday, Smith said the communication between the two schools could have been better.

“I am disappointed that we find ourselves in this position. I would have preferred a phone call from

the administration at Vanderbilt,” Smith said in the statement. “Nevertheless, we will work diligently to find a replacement opponent for the 2013 season.”

Williams explained that the decision to inform OSU through a letter was a matter of record keeping.

“I do understand (Smith’s) disappointment and I apologize for that, but if you cancel something by phone, then you don’t have record for it,” Williams said. “It may just be my legal training that we cancel by paper. We make deals by letters and we cancel by letters. I understand his disappointment and it would have been nice if I talked more about it.

“That’s on me. That’s my bad and I apologize for that.”

Rod Williamson, Vanderbilt’s director for athletic communications, said the cancellation of the OSU-Vanderbilt fixture came about as a result of the need to accommodate the Southeastern Conference’s addition of Texas A&M and Missouri.

Vanderbilt also canceled its 2013 home game against Northwestern.

The cancellation of the OSU and Northwestern games were “casualties” of that process, Williamson said.

OSU’s current home schedule for the 2013 season includes Florida A&M (9/7), Buffalo (9/21), Wisconsin (9/28), Iowa (10/19), Penn State (10/26) and Indiana (11/23). The Buckeyes are scheduled to continue play in the 2012 season Saturday against Purdue at the Horseshoe. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.

OSU Football: The Matchup OHIO STATE

No. 7

BUCKEYES

PURDUE

BOILERMAKERS

Ohio State football would do well to remain focused on the task at hand this weekend — historically, Purdue has proven itself to be the wrong team for the Buckeyes to sleep on.

The No. 7-ranked Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) will continue their pursuit of the Big Ten Conference Leaders Division championship and an undefeated season against the Purdue Boilermakers (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten). As always, pesky Purdue has a habit of presenting itself to OSU as a formidable midseason stumbling block.

The Boilermakers eliminated OSU from the divisional title race last season, and nearly erased the Buckeyes from Big Ten title contention in 2009, with home wins at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind. Beyond those two OSU disap-

Offense

OSU has a seemingly undeniable advantage when it comes to offensive production, and the Buckeyes’ offensive line is directly responsible. The line, comprised of redshirt junior left tackle Jack Mewhort, junior left guard Andrew Norwell, redshirt junior center Corey Linsley, redshirt junior right guard Marcus Hall and senior right tackle Reid Fragel, has helped the Buckeyes field one of the strongest rushing attacks in the country. Through their work, the Buckeyes have steamrolled to 724 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in just the last two games. The running game has developed during the season, but the Buckeyes have been lighting up the scoreboard all year, having scored 283 points in their seven wins. Purdue has put up some points as well, and is averaging almost 33 points per game. That won’t be enough to match the more than 40 points per game OSU is scoring.

pointments on Purdue’s home field, the teams share a back-and-forth history, having split their last six meetings.

A win to advance OSU’s record to 8-0 and improve its standing in the Leaders Division will likely require more of the same high-flying offense Buckeye Nation has enjoyed all season long, as well as an improved defensive effort.

First-year OSU coach Urban Meyer’s team might seem an obvious favorite to beat Purdue coach Danny Hope’s Boilermakers. Then again, Purdue has proven itself a worthy adversary for OSU and has an undefeated, 2-0 record against the Buckeyes under Hope (OSU’s 2010 victory was vacated). There are no guarantees for this divisional showdown in Ohio Stadium, and it could be another game to remember in Meyer’s first season.

Defense

OSU and Purdue’s 2012 meeting could become a high-scoring affair very easily. From the Buckeyes’ perspective, their defense is in the midst of an unsettling, downward trend. After allowing just 16 points in its Sept. 29 Big Ten Conference opener against Michigan State, OSU allowed 38 and 49 points in its last two games against Nebraska and the Hoosiers, respectively.

The OSU defense is allowing 400 yards per game, making it the 69th-ranked defensive unit in the country. Purdue’s defense isn’t particularly stingy either — the Boilermakers are allowing 412 yards per game and are the 76th-ranked defense in America. The Buckeyes might make their mark in Saturday’s game by turning Purdue over, but the Boilermakers are likely to do the same. OSU has 13 turnovers — 10 interceptions and three fumble recoveries — to Purdue’s 14 turnovers, which include five fumble recoveries and nine interceptions. The OSU defense’s ability to cope with nagging injuries to several players could be a deciding factor in the game.

Special Teams Not surprisingly, largely untested OSU redshirt junior kick Drew Basil missed a mediumrange field goal attempt Saturday against Indiana. His season-long field goal came against the Hoosiers from 35 yards out, but his miss came from the same distance. All told, Basil has hit 3-of-4 field goal attempts on the year, but is a bit of a wild card just because he hasn’t had many opportunities. Basil’s doing fine on kickoffs — he already has 12 touchbacks through seven games compared to last season’s total of 14. The Purdue kicking tandem of redshirt freshman Sam McCartney and freshman Paul Griggs is 4-of-4 on field goal attempts in 2012. Giggs has done the main legwork, hitting all three of his attempts, including 40-and 37-yarders against Michigan. Neither team figures to make a big impact in the kickoff-return game, however, OSU has one punt return for a touchdown while Purdue has none.

OSU junior running back Carlos Hyde (34) reaches for the end zone during an Oct. 13 game against Indiana in Bloomington, Ind. OSU won, 52-49.

Purdue from 1B Hope said the keys for his team to compete for a win on Saturday will be sound tackling on defense and having a balanced offense.

“We’re going to have to tackle somebody, that’s for sure, because we missed a ton of tackles this past weekend, and it made the outcome of the games a lot worse,” Hope said. “Also, from an offensive standpoint, we need to be able to manufacture both some type of tough running game and passing game.”

Purdue’s defense is led by redshirt senior defensive tackle Kawann Short, a team captain who leads the team with nine tackles for loss, four sacks and four blocked kicks.

OSU coach Urban Meyer said he sees Short as a first-round NFL draft pick.

“I see a team that plays a lot of man coverage and makes it really hard to run the ball,” Meyer said during Tuesday’s Big Ten coaches’ teleconference. “I think they’re just some missed tackles away from being really good on defense.”

Offensively, the Boilermakers have rotated between three quarterbacks this season, but Hope said redshirt senior Caleb TerBush, who has started the team’s last five games, should receive the most playing time in Saturday’s contest versus the Buckeyes.

TerBush said Saturday’s contest in Ohio Stadium is a “huge game,” but also that it’s “just another game we have to go out and take care of business.”

“Every game you play is a big game,” TerBush said. “We’ve had some good games against them. They’re ready. They’re not too happy about getting beat last year, I can guarantee that. They’re a good, disciplined team, they got a great coach and a lot of great ballplayers over there.”

The Buckeyes’ defense has struggled in the past two games, giving up a combination of 87 points and 918 yards of total offense to Nebraska and Indiana, but TerBush said the Boilermakers’ offense cannot take their opponents lightly.

“They may have given up some points in those couple games, but

2B

they’re still a good defense,” TerBush said. “I mean, it’s Ohio State, they got a great program, they’re 7-0 for a reason … The defense is fast, they got a lot of people coming back and they got some leadership over there.”

On the other side of the ball, Hope said that since last year’s win, OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller is a “much more complete player.”

“They’ve done a great job training Braxton and he’s a fantastic athlete, and a great competitor,” Hope said. “There’s nothing that he can’t do. He’s an outstanding passer, he’s a great runner. I think he’s one of the top players at his position, not only in our conference but on a national level.”

The Boilermakers held the Buckeyes to 163 rushing yards last season, but this year, the Buckeyes rank eighth nationally with more than 263 rushing yards per game. Hope described what has allowed the Buckeyes to “manufacture an outstanding run game.”

“Their offensive line … they play hard, and they have good size, and good athleticism, so I think they’ve improved across the line of scrimmage with the play of their offensive line,” Hope said. “They’re extremely talented at the running back position and at the quarterback position, and the fact that they can open it up and air it out and they can make big plays in the passing game, that opens things for them in the running game as well.”

The Buckeyes have four more wins and three fewer losses than the Boilermakers, but Meyer expects Saturday’s game, which kicks off at noon, to be close.

“Regardless of what the record (is) and all that, we’re expecting a team that’s a fairly evenly-matched game,” Meyer said.

The Boilermakers have only won twice in the Horseshoe in the past 60 years, but Edison thinks his team can win in an environment he expects to be “crazy.” “(Ohio State’s) season is going very well, the fans are into it and everything, but you know, that’s the type of stuff we live for,” Edison said. “I like that type of energy, being able to walk in and get a very big win and keep ourselves alive in the race (to win the Big Ten Leaders division).”

OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller carries the ball down the field during a game against Indiana. Hoosiers redshirt freshman defensive tackle Adarius Rayner chases Miller during the Oct. 13 game in Bloomington, Ind. The Buckeyes won, 52-49.

Be realistic: Meyer has the Buckeye program on the rise, but it’s far from a power Managing editor

Michael Periatt periatt.1@osu.edu

If you think the presidential election has already been decided, then you obviously don’t pay attention to the Ohio State football program.

It took about four hours on a Saturday night to demonstrate just how quickly large masses of people can change their minds.

Before Indiana’s offense surged through the silver bullet defense like water through a strainer to the tune

of 49 points , the chatter around the OSU football program could not have been more positive.

This OSU team — which is a year removed from a 6-7 season — was inserting itself into the national championship conversation.

At least that’s what the players were saying after OSU’s 63-38 pounding of Nebraska, a team that many pegged as OSU’s best opponent of the year. “We’re trying to go 12-0, win every single game,� said redshirt sophomore cornerback Bradley Roby after the Buckeyes’ victory. “Trying to get that AP No. 1, go and win the national championship. That’s our goal.�

The defense was porous that game too (it gave up 437 total yards) , but the worries took a back seat to the layers of praise for the job coach Urban Meyer had done waking the program from its year of dormancy.

At 6-0 , OSU was back.

Match them up with Oregon. Bring on Alabama. Fire athletic director Gene Smith for cheating the program from a sure-fire BCS bid.

Then Indiana happened, and all of the sudden Buckeye Nation is in an uproar.

The storied OSU defense gave up 49 points?

To Indiana?

A fullback is playing linebacker and he led the team in tackles?

And if the last onside kick bounced the other way, who knows what could have happened?

Fans are calling for defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell , who was being hailed as the ultimate Buckeye for peacefully accepting what was essentially a demotion, to be fired -- not to mention the endless pizza delivery man jokes.

But should the struggles really have been that surprising? This was the same team that had issues against Central Florida, California and UAB. Collectively, those teams have an 8-11 record.

The Buckeyes eked out a one-point win against Michigan State, which was an impressive win at the time, but the Spartans are just 4-3 on the year.

Really, the only impressive win OSU has had this season was against Nebraska.

Yet, that one win was enough for fans to catapult their expectations of a national championship.

Let’s be real about where this Buckeye team is right now. It’s an above-average team playing in a belowaverage conference, it had a weak out-of-conference schedule and it’s still in a state of rebuilding.

Frankly, it’s amazing the Buckeyes are 7-0. Nothing is guaranteed.

The Buckeyes could just as easily have problems against Purdue and Michigan as they did against UAB and Indiana. They could even lose.

But whether OSU finishes 12-0 or 9-3 know this; Meyer has this team on the right track. Games that would have been close losses last year are turning into close wins. When he challenges players, they step up.

He took a team that averaged 24.5 points per game last year and — with essentially the same players — turned the offense into a 40.4-points-per-game juggernaut.

Not to mention, he has a consensus top-10 recruiting class waiting in the wings.

OSU can’t compete with the Alabamas and Oregons of the world just yet, but give it time.

Soon that national championship talk — just like the presidential candidates’ hopes of occupying the Oval Office for the next four years — won’t just be wishful thinking.
