PATRICK MAKS Sports editor maks.1@osu.edu
While it’s clear that Ohio State has the capability to track and monitor its student-athletes on social media, the details of the contract between the school and the firm aiding it in doing so remain muddled. In an exclusive interview with The Lantern on March 12, athletic director Gene Smith said the athletic department was keeping tabs on its athletes’ behavior on Twitter and Facebook. Probing the latter of those two sites, however, might sometimes walk a line between a school’s intention to prevent future compliance pitfalls and student-athletes’ right to privacy.

Ohio State is home to hundreds of student-athletes, but three are in a league of their own after participating in the 2012 London Olympics and making plans to train for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Zain Shaito and Mona Shaito are not only siblings, but also members of the OSU fencing team and the Lebanese Fencing Federation’s Olympic team. The brother and sister have trained together since they were kids, and the sport has become a sort of family affair. Raised outside of Dallas, Zain and Mona Shaito both have dual citizenship between the United States and their father’s home country of Lebanon. Both feel honored to have had the chance to compete next to a sibling at the highest athletic competition in the world. “It’s a rare opportunity to have your sister alongside you at the Olympics,” said Zain Shaito, a third-year in international studies and neuroscience. However, during Zain and Mona Shaito’s training for the Olympics, the duo had a difficult decision to make — they had to determine, individually, whether they were going to compete for the U.S. or Lebanon. Ultimately, they both decided to fence for Lebanon’s Olympic team. “There’s more opportunities to fence for Lebanon, because I don’t have to go through making the team to go to all these world cups and world championships,” said Mona Shaito, a second-year in criminology. “So I can get more experience, and I can just fence, which is all I want to do.” For Zain Shaito, the decision had more to do with the hardships faced by

Lajuan Foster has spent almost every day from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for the past nine months cleaning the 18th Avenue Library. “I’m used to doing this now,” Foster said, as she scrubbed the sink in the first floor women’s bathroom Monday. “If they need me anywhere else, I’ll go.” But Foster doesn’t work for Ohio State. She works for the janitorial services at Goodwill — a branch of the same company that owns thrift stores. “We’re contracted with OSU, so that’s how I got the job,” Foster said. Goodwill is one of four companies to which OSU awarded contracts last fall. The contracts, which were effective Nov. 5, replaced agreements that expired June 30, said Lindsay Komlanc, spokeswoman for Administration and Planning, in an email. “Ohio State assured we received competitive prices for the services and used the opportunity to consolidate the number of companies providing these services from 12 to four to improve administrative efficiencies and oversight,” she said. Contracting with these companies in a more consolidated manner helped save the university an estimated $2 million annually, Komlanc said. Goodwill’s contract is for $500,000 annually, and it cleans about nine buildings, including the 18th Avenue Library, Independence Hall,

RITIKA SHAH Lantern reporter shah.718@osu.edu This upcoming football season, expect to see more promotions and advertisements for a new rental company looking for students to lease out their homes on game day. University Football Rentals, a service where students can rent their homes out to weekend guests, is expanding to Ohio State. Mike Doyle, co-founder of University Football Rentals, said the company was born out of a problem at the University of Notre Dame. Doyle said during football games, 80,000 to 100,000 fans are in town and there is a lack of hotel infrastructure in South Bend, Ind., to support them all. Doyle cites situations of family and friends driving roughly an hour to Chicago to find weekend accommodations . This is when the four co-founders of University Football Rentals, all graduates of Notre Dame, realized not every resident or student in South Bend attends every game. “So we built up this website as a platform to connect homeowners and football fans,” Doyle said. The website allows homeowners, primarily graduate students, to list their properties for rent during large-scale events in university towns. Doyle said the average cost of renting a home for one weekend would be $1,400. The cost of a one-bedroom home would be $700, and the cost of a five- to six-bedroom home would be $2,400. “Quite a few homeowners make over $5,000 a year,” Doyle said. He said for a 15

campus OSU marching band aims to drum up $120K for iPads HAILEY FAIRCHILD Lantern reporter fairchild.84@osu.edu Two members of the Ohio State marching band have come up with an idea to save $20,000 in paper and printing costs each year by providing iPads for each member of the band. The idea began as a Facebook post from Charlie King, a fifth-year in computer information and history, to his friend and fellow member of the marching band Ryan Barta, a third-year in operations management and aviation management. The pair said iPads would be a good investment and benefit both the band and university. King and Barta are hoping to get sponsors to donate money to the project. They will need to purchase about 250 iPads for members, staff and directors, plus weather covers since the band will be using them outside for practice. According to the 2012 Marching Band roster, there are roughly 230 people in the band not including alternates. Sold at retail price, iPads cost between about $330 and $930 at Best Buy. Using certain applications available on the iPads, members of the band would be able to read music, send out videos of rehearsals and also read field charts. Normally, only the band director is able to see the bigger picture in motion while the band members look at papers. “Instead of one person getting to see the bigger picture, now everyone gets to see the actual animation,” Barta said. King and Barta said they are not aware of any other university band using this type of technology, which they hope will also help them recruit future Buckeyes.
“We are similar to sports teams in terms of recruiting,” King said. “We are trying to get the best high school student musicians to come play our band.” OSU Marching Band director Jonathan Waters said he is excited about the possibility of adding iPads, not only to change the way the band is able to practice, but also because of the amount of money and paper it will save. “With our band, we go through over a million pieces of paper yearly, plus the cost of running that paper through a copier,” Waters said. “The saving in just the paper alone will be tremendous.” Waters said the Sustainability Office on campus has come forward with $25,000 for the project, and the band is still working to get enough money to fund the project. King said in an email he estimates the band will need to raise $120,000 to cover the costs of the iPads, which he expects will save $20,000 in yearly paper and copier costs. King said Digital First and the Technology Commercialization Office on campus have been big supporters of the idea and have been helpful with the project. They are looking to find bigger corporate sponsors to help with the funding. “There’s different ways we can create marketing for these companies through the band,” Barta said. “As far as Ohio State in the fall, besides the football team, there is not much that can match the visibility of the band in Columbus.” The duo has a plan to keep the iPads paying for themselves as new members come in. Instead of passing down old iPads to new students, the department will use a lease-to-own approach and use that money to purchase new ones. The band students will be given the tablets for free during the Fall Semester and be able to rent them during Spring Semester to use for school. If the members of the band

take advantage of the leasing all four years, they will get to keep the iPad. “Like any project there are up-front costs, but we are going to make money back in the long run,” Barta said. “It is also going to help with sustainability. We promote it but we are not doing a good enough job here within our own walls.”
OSU sorority ordered to ‘cease and desist’ HAILEY FAIRCHILD Lantern reporter fairchild.84@osu.edu

The Beta Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma has been issued a cease and desist order.

The Beta Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Ohio State has been issued a cease and desist order. The Beta Nu chapter is on cease and desist with the university while Student Conduct continues to investigate the situation, said Dave Isaacs, a spokesman for the Office of Student Life. “Being under a cease and desist order means that they have to request permission from the vice president of Student Life before they engage in chapter activities,” Isaacs said. Elizabeth Bailey, fraternity vice president for Kappa Kappa Gamma national, said in a Monday email the investigation with the university has been completed, but no sanctions have been issued yet.
“The chapter is still under a cease and desist order until sanctions, if any, are issued,” Bailey said. “The chapter is not currently on probation.” Beta Nu chapter President Adrienne Schertz, a second-year in strategic communication and business, said the internal discipline is to remain confidential, but the standards committee is conducting a thorough investigation. Both the university and Kappa Kappa Gamma’s national organization has been involved. “Our chapter is working closely with the university and our local chapter advisers, province director of chapters, regional director of chapters and director of chapters while the facts are being determined,” Schertz said. Schertz said they will try to understand why individual members did not comply with the fraternity’s and university’s expectations when it
comes to social behavior to better prevent these situations in the future. “We will continue to educate our members regarding these expectations and use this incident to further develop our educational programs,” Schertz said. “In addition, we will consult with our local alumnae advisers for their insights and guidance.” Jessica Braddock, OSU Panhellenic Association president, said she was not at all involved in the judicial process regarding Kappa Kappa Gamma. According to the Beta Nu website, Kappa Kappa Gamma was first founded on October 13, 1870, at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Ill. The organization was the first sorority on campus at OSU when it was established in October 1888. OSU is home to 14 PHA sorority chapters and two associate chapters that total more than 2,000 members, according to the PHA website.

percent service fee, University Football Rentals hosted about 3,000 guests in 150 homes for six games in South Bend last season. After filling the niche at Notre Dame, Doyle said, “We realized this is a problem not just in South Bend, but several towns around the U.S. with huge football fan followings.” Doyle said University Football Rentals has been expanding nationally for the past year and called OSU and the Columbus area natural candidates. “We’re looking for towns that have a great football tradition at the school, a huge fan base coming back. Columbus fits both of those. They have one of the largest football associations in the country,” he said. “It’s kind of a natural fit for us.” Wayne Garland, property manager of Buckeye Real Estate, said he would warn OSU students to be aware of the legality of renting their homes through a third party. “Be very careful because it probably is a violation of your lease,” Garland said. “You’re turning over property that is entrusted to you to someone you don’t know, and I don’t think it’s a very wise thing. “If a student of ours, who was leasing from us, did something like that, they’d be taking on a great deal of risk because you don’t know who or what or how they’re going to treat the residence.” Garland acknowledged that while people in smaller college towns might find this program more attractive, Columbus generally has enough hotel rooms to supply the demand. “I don’t think (University Football Rentals) will be successful here because there are more options,” Garland said. Inn-Town Homes, University Apartments and Pella Company declined to comment. Saaransh Mahna, a third-year in law school, said he would be unlikely to rent out his apartment for game day. “I enjoy going to football games myself and I need a place to come back home afterwards,” Mahna said. “I think there’s a greater demand for tailgate space than there is for a bed.” However, Christian Coffin, general manager of the Hilton Columbus Downtown hotel, said during peak demand times such as football weekends,
there typically are not enough rooms to meet the demand. “Having another option out there for the traveling public is not necessarily a bad thing,” Coffin said. Two other hotels in the campus area did not return requests for comment. University Football Rentals has expanded to other Big Ten schools as well, including Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State and Wisconsin. Renting on Penn State’s campus is common, said Marce Pancio, a resident of State College, Pa. “I know people who rent their homes, and they love it. They get the same renters who want to come back,” Pancio said. Pancio said faculty and staff at Penn State take advantage of this program as well. Bradley Rettler, a graduate student in philosophy at Notre Dame, said he and his wife find it cheaper to go on a weekend getaway while renting out their home than to stay in town over football weekends. “Most grad students don’t have quite the school spirit as undergrads, so they’re more willing to be gone during that time,” he said. Rettler said he and his wife have been renting their home out for about a year and the experience has been positive. “We made a great deal of money for just three days,” he said. Rettler said the rental price of his home, about a mile from campus, was $1,650 from Friday at 5 p.m. to Sunday at noon. After subtracting service fees, he and his wife netted a little more than $1,300. Rettler said he sees this program as an opportunity to make another 50 percent of his $17,000 stipend by renting his home out for the entire football season. While he does feel concerned about renting his home out to strangers, University Football Rentals allowed Rettler and his wife to communicate with the renters prior to an agreement to build trust. The couple has already rented its home out for graduation in May and hopes to rent it out for the next football season as well. So far, there is only a sample listing on the OSU tab of University Football Rentals’ website.

SMB $0.9 million annually for services
GOODWILL $0.5 million annually for services source: reporting Clean from 1A the Ice Rink and Ohio Stadium. The other contracted companies include Olympus, which is based in New Jersey, The King’s, which has a headquarters in St. Louis and SBM Management Services, which has a location in Blue Ash, Ohio. None of the four companies returned request for comment Monday. OSU pays Olympus $2.7 million annually to clean about 46 buildings, including Hopkins Hall, Weigel Hall and the Wexner Medical Center. The Kings is paid $1.5 million annually to clean about 15 buildings including Jennings Hall, the Psychology Building and Campbell Hall. SMB is paid $900,000 annually to clean about 36 buildings including the hangars at OSU’s University Airport and Maintenance Building, the Veterinary Hospital and Blankenship Hall. These contracts cover less than 30 percent of OSU Columbus campus’ about 450 buildings. “We are a very large campus and have found that using a mix of in-house custodial staff as well as outside vendors is an efficient way to meet our diverse maintenance needs,” Komlanc said in the email. After a year of controversy over certain contracts with outside vendors, the university maintains that it will only contract in the peripheries, and that the academic core will not be affected by outside vendors. Last June, the OSU Board of Trustees approved leasing OSU’s roughly 36,000 parking spots to an outside vendor for a $483 million, 50-year contract. The deal with QIC Global Infrastructure, an Australia-based investment company, gave the company control over the operations of parking garages, lots and permit sales on campus. CampusParc handles the day-to-day operations. CampusParc took over operations of Ohio State’s parking garages, ground lots and permit sales in September. In the months during the search for a parking vendor, OSU experienced some resistance from its staff members, students and other community members. Since then, the parking debates have died down.

OSU President E. Gordon Gee said in a meeting with The Lantern’s editorial staff on March 25 that privatizing parking was a “smart” idea for the university, but he would never consider privatizing something that was core to the university mission. “I would never — they would have to strap me to a log and send me down the Olentangy (River), but privatizing things like housing or dining or whether I think those are really core educational functions for the university,” Gee said. Komlanc said in her email the majority of the academic core buildings are serviced by the Facilities Operations and Development custodial staff — save for the handful, such as the 18th Avenue Library, that are cleaned by the contracted companies. In those cases, Komlanc said sometimes other companies can just do a better job. “Because our campus community has some very unique needs in terms of clinical space, research space and other needs specific to the type of business in each of our spaces, it is critical that we maintain a consistent level of service for our customers,” Komlanc said in the email. “Using outside vendors is one way we can ensure consistent availability of custodial staff to meet these needs.” Gee said this sort of situation can happen across the academic core. “There may be times when there could be people that could do better than we can,” Gee said. “But the issue is there’s no subterranean attempt by the university to move toward privatization of those areas. I think, because those are educationally important, missiondriven activities at the university.” Morris Kendall, an FOD employee, has worked at OSU for about 14 years and hasn’t noticed a difference in the last several months. Kendall works from 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. cleaning the 209 W. 18th Avenue building. “(I) just go around and do what I gotta do,” he said. The contracts didn’t make much of a difference to Foster, either. She said since the contract took effect in November, she hasn’t changed the way she does her job. “It don’t really matter to me,” Foster said. “All I know is I’m here at this one.”

campus Privacy from 1A monitor our student-athletes but through their services, if we needed to, we could look at that.� Rather, she said, the helping hand of Jump Forward can be turned on and off. “If we needed to go back and monitor and track they could flip the switch for us and they could do it. But we are not engaging in that currently.� Sabau, who was not involved in the signing of the contract between OSU and Jump Forward, could not provide information concerning the last time the athletic department actively monitored its athletes. It’s one of several questions that appear to remain regarding the relationship between OSU and the firm. Another that seems unanswered is the depth of which the school has the ability to monitor its athletes. The Issue With Facebook In a letter to the NCAA dated Aug. 15, OSU laid out widespread, extensive plans to overhaul its efforts in compliance within the athletic department after the school’s “Tattoo-Gate� scandal in December 2010. Specifically, a subhead titled “Monitoring Social Media� on page 10 of the letter explains OSU created “a more detailed Student-Athlete Social Media policy to inform student-athletes of the institution’s social media expectations.� Moreover, it spells out the school’s usage of
Olympics from 1A Arab people in the Middle East and wanting to show a better side of the Arab world. “I’m young, (so) I can take this opportunity to do something better, to do something for the other side of my heritage,� Zain Shaito said. “I could have competed for the U.S., but I was just like, ‘OK, this time I’ll represent Lebanon. See what happens.’ And it brought a lot of respect to my family overseas.� Although the decision to fence for Lebanon turned a lot of heads, it was a heartwarming choice for Zain and Mona Shaito’s family. “My parents were definitely proud, especially my dad, (since) he’s from Lebanon,� Mona Shaito said. “I live in America. I know the American culture. But to represent another part of me, it just felt really nice. So my parents were both really proud.� The decision to compete in the 2012 Olympics was also a difficult one for OSU student-athlete Amanda Furrer. After serving as an alternate on the 2008 USA U.S. Olympic rifle team for the Beijing games, she was not sure if she wanted to continue with the sport. “For me, that was kind of a letdown, and I didn’t know if I wanted to pursue rifle anymore,� said Furrer, a fourth-year in economics and business from Spokane, Wash. However, after competing with OSU’s rifle team for three years, Furrer decided to pursue the 2012
“electronic software to assist with the monitoring of student-athlete social media accounts.� “This software will enable the institution to monitor the social media accounts of all student-athletes that are open to the public for violations of NCAA, Big Ten Conference, and University and Athletic Department Rules. Each student-athlete will be educated on social media best practices and will be required to sign a statement signifying that they understand the institution’s social media expectations.� The balancing act between privacy and right to information seems to begin when schools start to nudge their way into what might be deemed as more private forms of social media, such as Facebook accounts — which allows users to censor what people can and can’t see. It’s why Kevin DeShazo, the founder of Fieldhouse Media — a company that provides social media education and monitoring services similar to Jump Forward — opts to only monitor “public information.� “Facebook is too difficult — there are a lot of privacy settings, a lot of information that we don’t need access to,� DeShazo said. “And so we monitor their public Twitter accounts. So there’s lots of laws being written, obviously, trying to protect social media privacy of student-athletes.� DeShazo said seven states (California, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah and Arkansas) have introduced, passed and signed laws to protect the online privacy of student-athletes.
On a blogpost titled “Debate Heats Up Over Social Media Privacy of Student Athletesâ€? on Fieldhouse Media’s official website, DeShazo writes: “They are geared toward Facebook, where once you have access to a person’s page, you have access to sensitive, personal information — but also apply to other networks like Twitter and Instagram.â€? On the same post, DeShazo lays out the specifics of what those laws prohibit athletic departments from doing. Those things include: “Ask/require a student-athlete to turnover their login information ‌ ask/require a studentathlete to log onto Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. in front of a coach or administrator, so that the coach or administrator can then see what is on the student-athlete’s profile; require a student-athlete to ‘friend’ a coach or administrator on Facebook (or require them to let you follow their private Twitter/Instagram account) use a monitoring software — internal or 3rd party — that requires the student-athlete to install software on their account that gives you access to their password-protected information.â€? The Exceptions For OSU, though, certain exceptions warrant certain access to private — and perhaps sensitive — information. “In instances where the OAC (Office of Athletics Compliance) believes that an NCAA violation might have occurred, the OAC will require the student-athlete to provide access to the non-public areas of their personal social media accounts,â€? reads the school’s aforementioned letter to the NCAA.
Jump Forward did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Lantern, but DeShazo explained how such a process might work with other firms. “They have student-athletes install an app onto their Facebook account which then give monitoring firms access to every bit of data,â€? he said. It’s a practice he called “a little awkward, kind of creepy.â€? “Let’s say you are a 19-year-old female volleyball player ‌ and you’ve got your Facebook on lockdown. You’ve got it private, you don’t friend people you don’t know but you’re a student-athlete,â€? DeShazo said. “Now you don’t have an option, you have to install this app for your Facebook account so now this company, as well as your school, they can see your email address, your phone number, your birthday which obviously on some level your administrators already have that. That information’s on file as a student. But they also get to see your calendar of events, campus parties ‌ friends, relationship history, every picture, every video, I mean literally everything on there regardless of your privacy.â€? Smith said that if athletes post “inappropriateâ€? or “derogatoryâ€? things on Facebook, the athletic department will find out. “We see you as an athlete saying something on Twitter, or you’ve got something on your Facebook page that’s inappropriate or derogatory, we’ll come to you,â€? Smith said. “We’ll pull you in. They know we track.â€? But the depth of such monitoring seems yet to be fully understood.
Olympics. She then opted to take a year off from school in order to train full-time at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Furrer tied for 12th place in her event with a score of 581 out of 600, only two points from making it to the finals. “I made a couple mistakes here and there, but I actually competed very well,� Furrer said. “It was actually tough conditions that we were competing in because it was outdoors. Twelfth doesn’t sound that good, but it was 12th in the world for my sport. I don’t have any regrets looking back, and I trained really well.� Zain Shaito is also proud of his performance in London, despite being knocked out of the men’s individual foil competition in the first round. He lost to Jun Zhu of China 15-2, an opponent that he has defeated previously. “I’ve competed against him before and beat him, but at the Olympics he was just way more prepared and experienced,� Zain Shaito said. Despite the disappointing loss, Zain Shaito said he feels the competition has better prepared him to win a medal in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “I saw a lot of really cool things about the Olympics,� Zain Shaito said. “I know how to better prepare myself for 2016, and I really think I’ll bring home a medal next time. It’s inspiring.� Mona Shaito advanced a bit further in the London games in the women’s individual foil.
After narrowly winning her first match against Egypt’s Shaimaa El-Gammal, Mona Shaito lost to the eventual gold medalist in her event. Elisa Di Francesca of Italy beat Mona Shaito 15-2, knocking her out of the competition. “It’s hard to lose, especially your second match, and just generally it’s hard to lose in the Olympics (after) coming that far and working that hard,� Mona Shaito said. “I was just happy to be there and to have the experiences.� Although Mona Shaito has not committed to competing in Rio in 2016, she still wants to fulfill her dream of winning an Olympic medal. “It’s really hard, and it’s another long journey,� Mona Shaito said. “I’m still deciding to go try to medal again or go to law school.� Although Furrer, Mona Shaito and Zain Shaito did not place in the London Games, they are all confident in their chances of medaling in the 2016 Games. “For me, there’s a few technical things I need to work on,� Furrer said. “One of my positions isn’t as strong as it could be. Also, my mental game. I’m also going to work on getting into more high-stress situations so I can improve my mental game a little bit.� After graduation, Furrer will return to the Olympic Training Center to train full-time. “I actually decided that a couple weeks after I returned from London,� Furrer said. “I’m graduating

After graduating from OSU in 2014, he hopes to train full-time for the games in Rio. However, Zain Shaito has decided to compete with the U.S. Olympic team if he qualifies for Rio in 2016. “Now, my goal is for the U.S.,� said Zain Shaito. “My chances of medaling will be really strong, so hopefully I can be up there with Jesse Owens. My dream has always been to represent the United States — any athlete’s dream growing up here in the U.S.� Despite her brother’s decision to fence for the U.S., Mona Shaito has decided to stick with Lebanon if she qualifies for the Rio Olympics. “I don’t think that I would change, because I have obligated myself to represent a country, and I’m going to stick with that,� Mona Shaito said. “Not that I’m saying it’s bad for (Zain) to do that. If he thinks he should do that, I will support him.� Furrer, Zain and Mona Shaito have all competed in their sports on the international stage, but none are ready to step out of the light until they earn a spot on the medal platform. “My coach always says, ‘There’s never a limit to working hard,’� Zain Shaito said. “So you just do the work and the result will come. Hard work will bring results no matter what, even if it’s not the result you want, it’ll be something.�

Framing the best Buckeye moments ANDREW HOLLERAN Photo editor holleran.9@osu.edu Fans of Ohio State sports are lucky, spoiled even, you could say. Not only is Columbus home to one of the country’s best football programs with Urban Meyer at the helm, but the basketball team, under the watch of Thad Matta, has developed into a national power. Over the last five years, OSU leads all schools in the two-sport winning percentage of football and men’s basketball. The past academic year witnessed a flawed but driven football team go undefeated and a basketball squad, having to replace a two-time all-American and the program’s third all-time leading scorer, come within a game of matching its NCAA Tournament run from a season ago. As the photo editor of The Lantern, I was privileged to witness each of OSU’s 12 football games in person. I also covered the majority of the basketball team’s contests, including all of the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago and the NCAA Tournament games in Dayton and Los Angeles. Here’s the best that was on the gridiron and the hardwood in 2012-13 at OSU: Best game: OSU 73, Arizona 70, NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Playing in one of America’s basketball cathedrals, OSU advanced to its second Elite Eight in as many seasons at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The No. 6-seeded Wildcats, coached by Sean Miller, Matta’s former assistant at Xavier, raced out to a 26-17 lead. Junior forward Deshaun Thomas hit a couple 3-pointers to help the Buckeyes claw back to within four points at halftime. Out of the break, No. 2 seed OSU used a 10-2 run to take hold of the contest.
The Buckeyes lead got as high as eight points with 7:42 to play, but an and-one layup from senior guard Mark Lyons tied the game at 70-70 with 21 seconds remaining. With the ball in his hands less than a week after hitting the game-winner in a third round contest against Iowa State, junior guard Aaron Craft passed to LaQuinton Ross with two seconds left. The sophomore forward and occupant of Kobe Bryant’s locker during the stay in L.A. hit a 3-pointer from the left arc to catapult the Buckeyes past the Wildcats. Best player: Then-sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller Thomas made a strong case for himself being the name in this category, leading the Big Ten in scoring and being OSU’s only offensive option for the most of the season. But as much as the junior forward was relied on this winter, Miller was to an even greater extent with the football team. The then-sophomore set a school record for total yards in a season and was a serious Heisman contender until the trophy’s finalists were announced in early December. In 2012, Miller totaled 3,310 yards and 28 touchdowns. With Thomas declaring himself eligible for the NBA Draft, Miller is likely to see his name in this category again next year. Best play: Craft’s game-winning 3-pointer vs. Iowa State Two plays made by players on the football team came to mind when trying to decide who would win this category. There was the scrambling run for a touchdown by Miller at Penn State that involved multiple juke moves before a leap into the end zone. And the superman-esque dive by then-sophomore linebacker Ryan Shazier into Wisconsin then-senior running back Montee Ball forced a fumble at the goal line and stopped history (Ball was a touchdown away from setting the NCAA career record). But neither of those, nor any play made by the football or basketball team

Dribbling the ball at the top of the key, the junior guard waved off calls for the ball by Thomas and junior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. With Cyclone freshman forward Georges Niang isolated on him, Craft waited until there was one second left before firing a 3-pointer that found nothing but the bottom of the net. “I hope someday they put a statue in front of our building of him,” Matta said on CBS after the game. “Coaches were telling me he’s exhausted. He’s too tough to be tired. What a big-time shot.”

B1G finally remedies mistake of Leaders and Legends SPORTS Columnist
We’ve all made bad decisions. Remember your freshman year when you wore an Ohio State shirt, OSU hat, OSU lanyard and cargo shorts around campus every day? That was brutal. We knew you went here. Or remember that one time when you decided to participate in extracurricular activities a little too much and had to miss out on Mirror Lake Night because you needed to lie down early? JON SHIELDS It’s OK. We’ve all been there. shields.143@osu.edu Admitting you erred and moving on is the best course of action when you make mistakes. Thankfully for everyone involved with Big Ten football, Jim Delany, the conference’s commissioner, is finally making that realization about a mistake that most people recognized the moment it happened in 2011. Leaders and Legends was a galactic, humongous, fill-in-yourown-superlative-here failure. As if everyone wasn’t laughing at our brand of Midwestern football already, we had to pile on by trying to be “edgy” and “creative.” Instead, we came off as “hilarious” and “trying way too hard.”

The Big Ten conference regular season and Leaders and Legends divisions 2013 championship trophies.
Honoring legends and building leaders, they said. This is completely dumb, I said. But good news, folks. With the recent ESPN.com report that the Big Ten has stopped huffing glue and come to its senses, deciding to change the names of its divisions to “East” and “West” for the 2014 season, we can finally be proud of our conference again. Not only are the names changing, ESPN is reporting the alignment is changing, too. Finally, and most notably, Michigan will be moving to OSU’s division. This is good news for two reasons. First, “The Game” will still mean something. Could you imagine both teams having their divisions locked up and resting their starters in the regular season to prevent injuries before meeting in the Big Ten title game? It would be a travesty, and it is possible under the current alignment. Also under the reported new alignment, a win against Michigan will mean more for OSU in preventing the Wolverines from becoming conference champions because divisional losses impact the standings more than cross-divisional ones. Ruining Michigan’s season twice as hard? Sign. Me. Up. I praise Delany for this. It takes a lot of guts to tell everyone, “Hey, I blew it the first time, but I’m fixing it now.” Don’t get me wrong, Delany still has made some huge errors (Rutgers and Maryland) but for the most part, he has improved the Big Ten tremendously. He added a football power in Nebraska. He made the Big Ten conference the land’s richest with a way-beforeits-time TV network. No one remembers how much backlash he

sports Moments from 5A Best moment: Then-redshirt junior quarterback Kenny Guiton leads comeback against Purdue OSU’s dream of an undefeated season nearly came to a screeching halt at the end of the third quarter of the Buckeyes’ Oct. 20 game against Purdue in Columbus. Miller had just suffered an injury, left the field on a cart and exited the stadium in an ambulance. OSU was trailing the Boilermakers, 20-14, and with its best player out, the team’s perfect 7-0 record was almost assuredly going to be handed a blemish. In stepped Guiton, who did little to help the Buckeyes’ cause until the game was just about over. With 2:40 left and the score 22-14, the then-redshirt junior threw an interception. Meyer grabbed Guiton, who was noticeably distraught. “I said, ‘You’re going to win us a game,’” Meyer said. “He looked right at me. I think he was down but I think that moment kind of picked him up.” OSU got the ball back, and Guiton led a 61-yard drive with 47 seconds left that ended with a touchdown pass to then-redshirt junior wide receiver Chris Fields. The Buckeyes tied the game with a two-point conversion on a lobbed throw to then-freshman tight end Jeff Heuerman and won the contest in overtime. Best underdog story: Zach Boren’s move to linebacker OSU’s defense had shredded in back-to-back games against Nebraska and Indiana in mid-October.
The Buckeyes allowed a combined 87 points in those two contests, and at the heart of Meyer’s concerns about his defense was the linebacker position. Boren, then-senior and 30-game starter at fullback, had played linebacker in high school and was recruited to OSU to play that position. Sensing that his team needed someone to step up and fill a void, Boren asked Meyer if he could play linebacker during an October practice. Meyer obliged to the request, and Boren responded by helping revamp a defense that allowed just 57 points in November. The Pickerington native recorded 50 tackles on the season and averaged 8.2 tackles per game in his six games at linebacker, including a career-high 12 in the overtime win at Wisconsin. “Talk about Zach Boren. You want someone to write a book on, wow, that would be good if you go write a book on Zach Boren,” Meyer said. Best team: Football The basketball team can make its arguments: Big Ten Tournament champions, an Elite Eight Appearance and an 11-game winning streak. The football team only needs to make one, though. Undefeated. Meyer and his squad literally accomplished everything they could in 2012, winning all 12 of their games and recording the school’s first perfect season since 2002.

The Ohio State men’s tennis team captured its eighth-straight Big Ten conference title in style over the weekend — with a pair of victories against both conference rivals from Michigan. The 6-1 home victory against Michigan State (13-12, 6-5) on Friday, paired with the 4-0 road win against No. 26 Michigan (14-8, 9-2) on Sunday was enough to push the No. 5 Buckeyes (28-2, 11-0) to an outright conference title and solidified them atop the Big Ten standings for the 11th time in program history. The Scarlet and Gray won the regular-season conference title in 1915, 1931 and 1943, and eight more times under coach Ty Tucker from 2006-13.
“(The title) feels good. The first goal of the season was to get a Big Ten title in the regular season, and we were able to accomplish that and to go undefeated, and have to beat Illinois and Michigan on the road feels good all the time,” Tucker said, following the win in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sunday. In the clinching match against the Wolverines, OSU captured the doubles point for the 27th time during the 2013 season, led by the No. 38-ranked tandem junior Blaz Rola and redshirt sophomore Kevin Metka and No. 18-ranked redshirt junior Peter Kobelt and senior Connor Smith winning matches 8-3 and 9-7, respectively. In singles play, OSU cruised to three consecutive singles wins to clinch the match against Michigan. OSU redshirt freshman Chris Diaz, ranked No. 82 nationally, rallied a 6-3, 6-4 victory followed by No. 11 Rola and No. 62 Smith winning
their matches 6-3, 6-2 and 6-4, 7-5, respectively. OSU’s squad is set to host the Big Ten Tournament in Columbus for the first time since 2002. The Buckeyes are eight-time champions of the event (1991, 2001, 2006-11). The regular-season conference title gives OSU the No. 1 seed in the tournament, in addition to a first-round bye. The Buckeyes is scheduled to face the winner of No. 8 Wisconsin and No. 9 Purdue in the second round on Friday. Tucker said his team will be on the lookout for a possible semifinal matchup against rival and No. 4-seeded Illinois, which OSU beat 4-3 on April 12 in Champaign, Ill. “It’s nice to be able to play at home, the No. 1 seed is nice, but Illinois is the No. 4 seed, and they probably played us the tightest match of anyone in the Big Ten,” Tucker said. “It was a tough match last time, and if we are
both fortunate enough to get through (the quarterfinals) I’m sure it would be another tough match.” Tucker said that whatever matchups occur in the tournament later in the week, his players will have the same level of intensity as they have all season. “We’ve got very good players and we’ve got hardworking players … everyone seems to be on the right page with how we’re going to play the game. It seems to be when you have some blue-chip players like we’ve been fortunate enough to have, they fight hard and they’re prepared to play,” he said. The Big Ten Tournament is scheduled to begin Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Varsity Tennis Courts, with OSU set to play Friday at 9 a.m. Additional tournament information is available on the Big Ten’s website.

sports For softball’s Maddy McIntyre, surfing still a ‘passion’ Jon Shields Lantern reporter shields.143@osu.edu The warm sunshine beams down upon the tropical waters off the coast of San Diego, as Ohio State softball shortstop Maddy McIntyre sits on a surf board, bobbing in the Pacific Ocean and waiting for the next wave to ride. The serenity the ocean offers is a far cry from the stress of finals week or the pressure of hundreds of screaming fans. “(Surfing) is just a good way to take a break from everything,” McIntyre said. “Sometimes you’re out on the softball field or sometimes it gets intense with school and everything, so it’s just the best way to fall back and just relax. The feeling I get when I drop in is priceless.” McIntyre, a sophomore from San Diego, has started every game but one in her two-year OSU career. She’s a career .265 hitter with a .944 fielding percentage from her middle infield position. But while softball might be her first love, surfing has morphed from a fun hobby into something much more important to McIntyre. “It’s definitely her passion,” said senior teammate and third baseman Megan Coletta. “She really misses it (when she’s in Ohio) and she has a lot of passion for it and knowledge about the ocean.” McIntyre’s passion started at age 12, off the coast of Maui, Hawaii. It was there she first received personalized instruction with surfing trainers who immediately recognized her talent and passion for the sport. They encouraged her to keep riding when she returned home to
California. Her father made sure that became a reality. “For one of my birthdays, my dad got me a board, and it was the best thing. He couldn’t keep me out of the water after that,” McIntyre said. She and her father — an avid surfer himself — have used their passions for surfing to develop an even tighter bond. They usually go in the summers, fitting in a quick, two-hour session before Marc McIntyre drops his daughter off back home and heads to work. The father-daughter surfing time is something they both cherish. “It’s awesome,” Marc McIntyre said. “She’s a better surfer than I am, but it’s still fun just being out there in the water with her. It makes you think, ‘It doesn’t get much better than this.’” The landlocked qualities of Columbus make surfing during softball season impossible for Maddy McIntyre, so when she gets home to San Diego, she feels like she has to make up for lost time. “I get really excited to surf when I go home,” Maddy McIntyre said. “But at home, everyone gets so mad, like, ‘Oh, the waves suck today,’ so they won’t go out. But now, for me, it’s like even if the waves suck, I still want to go out because I’m not out there very often.” Her father said she will go out at every opportunity when she’s home. Whenever she can get someone to go with her, be it morning, noon or night, she’ll hit the waves. OSU softball coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly said she loves her shortstop’s passion for surfing, and encourages her to keep up with it as much as possible. When Schoenly takes recruiting trips to Calif., which is fairly frequently, Maddy

OSU sophomore shortstop Maddy McIntyre throws the ball during a game against Penn State April 13 at Buckeye Field. OSU won, 16-7. McIntyre is often there, badgering her coach to catch some waves with her. “It’s really cool we have kids with such different passions,” Schoenly said. “I’ve never really known surfing, so when I hear about the waves, and just the love that she has for it, I’m really excited for her to have that.” For someone who is used to having all eyes on her whenever she competes, surfing offers Maddy McIntyre the chance to drop in and do what she loves, away from the fandom. “The thing I like most about (surfing) is it doesn’t have to be competitive,” Maddy McIntyre
said. “I don’t have to go out and have to perform. I can go for something great and I don’t have to worry if I don’t land it, or if the wave eats me up, it doesn’t matter, I can just have fun with it.” Schoolwork and softball might be Maddy McIntyre’s primary focuses during the year, but once summer rolls around, her childhood passion takes center stage. Her bat and glove get swapped for a board, and her No. 30 jersey gets traded for a bathing suit. For Maddy McIntyre, summer is nearly here – the sun is out and the ocean beckons.

faced when he basically started the Big Ten Network from scratch before the 2007 season. No one thought a single conference could support a TV network. Now? The Pac-12, SEC and Big 12 have all followed suit. Big Ten football might still be lagging behind nationally, but hey, Delany’s vision has made the Big Ten the richest conference in the country. The Leaders and Legends experiment was horrifying. Delany was to blame. But, with the news that its three-year run is mercifully coming to a close next year, I can praise Delany again for coming to his senses. He listened to his conference’s fans and made the change. Good for him. Better for us.

If there was a Mount Rushmore dedicated to the college experience, there would be a giant slice of pizza carved into the side of a granite mountain somewhere. It’s as ingrained into the college culture as
anything (yes, even cheap beer). Crust, cheese and sauce — when properly proportioned, cultivated and seasoned — can make even the most pretentious taste buds sing. At Ohio State, we have no shortage of pizza places. You have the national chains, the local shops, the by-the-slice joints, the bars that happen to serve pizza, the campus pizza places. You name it, and it’s probably here. The result of all of the choices is a saturated market where quality doesn’t always beat out quantity. That’s where I come in. As a pizza aficionado (trust me, I like pizza more than you), I wanted to inform my fellow campus-area dwellers the best the pizza community of Columbus has to offer. I embarked on a quest to taste, rate and eventually name a best pizza place in the campus area. It took about eight months and a lot of extra carbs, but I’m happy with how it turned out. Here was my game plan — I tracked down all of the pizza places within a mile of campus, and on each Monday, I ordered a pizza from a different one. In the interest of full disclosure, I did take a six-week hiatus from my quest during Lent because I realized my addiction might have been reaching an unhealthy level. In order to qualify, the place had to offer pizza as one of its main items and it had to deliver (sorry, A Slice of New York). In the end, I tried 14 different places. In the infinite wisdom of Internet commenters, I’m sure someone will find a place I missed. But I did the best I could. Before we get into the list, let’s break down my criteria. I ordered a plain cheese pizza from every location. This ensured equality in my judging process and also that my judgments were based on the essence of the pizza. Toppings matter, but the heart of every pizza is the crust, cheese and sauce. I only judged the pizza and nothing else. So for the whiners that want to tell me how good the Li’l O’s at Formaggio’s or the Pogo Sticks at the Pizza Joint are, let me assure you, none of that factored in. Lastly, price also was not taken into consideration. I know that’s an issue of concern for all of my college compatriots out there, but I’m judging 100 percent based on the quality. OK, enough of my rambles. Here’s the list. The top dog 1. Pizza Rustica I did not expect Pizza Rustica to even be in my top three when I started this project, but it made a Cinderella run to steal the crown. Before you get too riled up, let me explain something that I think a lot of people don’t take into consideration. When you walk into Pizza Rustica and get pizza by the slice, it’s not the same as when you order it. The ordered product is fresh, has a one-of-a-kind seasoning and the perfect cheese-to-sauce ratio.
Logos courtesy of respective restraunts’ websites The elite 2. Adriatico’s 3. Hounddog’s Three Degree Pizza One thing all pizza lovers know is that the best part of the pizza is the area just before the sauce and cheese meet the crust. Both of these places take those few square centimeters to another level. Adriatico’s is a campus staple. The thick crust, heavy cheese and sharp sauce make it stick out from the competition. Hounddog’s has the best crust out of the 14 I sampled. Not quite love 4. Catfish Biff’s 5. The Pizza Joint I really like both of these places, but I can’t bring myself to drop the L-bomb. If I had to compare these places to a former OSU athlete (because I know you were wondering), it’d be William Buford. Very, very good. Not great. Placing problems 6. Hungry Howie’s A big caveat here. I did not take into consideration its flavored crust, which I know for some people is what defines this place. The chains 7. Papa John’s 8. Domino’s 9.

personal vendetta against one of these places due to one bad ordering experience from their childhood. Get over it. News flash: they’re all pretty equal. Survivors 10. Sicilia Fine Italian Specialties 11. Formaggio Pizza 12. Tommy’s Pizza and Subs These are places that you know exist, but if your friend came from out of town you would never take them there unless you live right across the street. Good for a change of pace, not for a night of pizza delight. Side note: Some people have a weird obsession with Tommy’s. The only explanation I can think of is these people have an obsession with thin crust, but Tommy’s thin crust doesn’t even stick out amid other places that specialize in it. Campus bottom feeders 13. Woody’s Tavern 14. PAD I feel bad putting Woody’s in the same category as PAD, but it had to be done. Out of all the places I tried, PAD is the only one that legitimately isn’t good on a regular basis (and that doesn’t even factor in the wait time). Woody’s used to be so much better, but for some reason (probably money) it changed its pizza. And because both pizza places are on campus, I waived the delivery requirement. So there’s the list. Let the debate begin.
Columbus Comedy Festival to showcase best of city LAUREN WEITZ Lantern reporter weitz.20@osu.edu If laughter truly is the best medicine, then citizens of Columbus might have a solution to their spring allergies. The fourth annual Columbus Comedy Festival is slated for this weekend at Wild Goose Creative. The three-day festival, running in the evenings Thursday through Saturday, features different types of comedy including stand-up, improv, sketch and storytelling. “We kind of joined up with some of the comedians who had been performing in our space and we just decided to put on the event as a way to kind of help organize the comedians in town and to showcase their work,” said festival producer Nicholas Dekker . “We just kind of, flying by the seat of our pants, put together a three-day festival and packed it with as many performances as we could.” While Wild Goose Creative has regularly scheduled comedy events, including sketch comedy show “Monday Night Live” and stand-up show “15 and Killin’ It,” Dekker said the creative space is used for many different art forms. “Wild Goose does a little bit of everything in terms of the arts. We do everything from classes and workshops to things in visual arts and theater and storytelling and film and music,” Dekker said. “It’s just kind of a community art space where you can find a different event just about every night and you can connect with artists and their work.” “Monday Night Live” is hosted every second Monday of the month, and each month showcases new material and a different special guest host. “15 and Killin’ It” takes place every third Friday of the

Beginning last year, Columbus comedy website ColumbusIsFunny.com teamed up with Wild Goose Creative to put on the festival. Dekker said Wild Goose Creative dealt with marketing and the space setup for the festival, while ColumbusIsFunny was in charge of the booking. “Since they are comedians that work in town, they have an even better sense than we do of who to talk to, who to invite to perform, who to line up together,” Dekker said. Justin Golak, administrator of ColumbusIsFunny.
com, said helping organize the comedy festival helps to promote the website. Golak described the website as “a go-to calendar for comedy events in the city.” “(The Columbus Comedy Festival) is the kind of event that showcases the best of the city, so it’s a good way to get the name of the website out there,” Golak said. More than 20 stand-up comedians are scheduled to perform throughout the festival, as well as several improv groups . Dekker said one goal of the festival is to promote local comedians, which is why a majority of the performers are from Columbus. “We’ve had other comedians come from out of
town in the past and I think there will be some this year, but largely we wanted to keep it as a showcase of Columbus comedians,” Dekker said. He said Columbus is home to a lot of great comedians, and the Columbus Comedy Festival helps to highlight and promote the comedy scene in Columbus. “In some ways the comedy scene in Columbus is a little under-appreciated or people just don’t know as much about it,” Dekker said. “We like doing the festival as a way to raise awareness for everything that’s going on. Columbus is an excellent city for a lot of different things, and comedy is certainly one of them.” Dekker, who is also a theater lecturer at Ohio State, thinks students would enjoy the comedy festival. “As someone who teaches at Ohio State, I know that OSU students appreciate good comedy,” Dekker said. “I think a lot of the performers at the festival have exactly the type of humor that Ohio State students would appreciate.” OSU’s own improvisation group, Fishbowl Improv, first performed at the Columbus Comedy Festival last year and was invited back to perform this year. Daniel Cleveland, a first-year in biomedical engineering, joined Fishbowl Improv this semester and is excited to perform at the festival on Friday. “It makes me feel proud, strange and professional all at one time,” Cleveland said. “Most of the festivals we do are at schools and other colleges, so going to this makes me feel like our club is pretty authentic and legit. It makes me feel pretty important.” Cleveland said he is looking forward to meeting local comedians at the festival. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of the story.

Wearing white is optional: It might have been a tradition for you to wear white at your high school graduation ceremony, but now it’s time to start some new traditions. Amp up a basic white dress with a flashy belt or colorful shoes. You can also add a bib necklace for some unexpected glam. If white isn’t totally your thing, you have plenty of other options including floral patterns, nautical stripes or
maintaining some modesty. You can also opt for a tea-length dress that will hit just below the knee if you feel comfortable more covered up.
Consider the cold: This year’s weather has been anything but predictable. No matter what color dress you choose, think about what type of sleeve you’re looking for. I recommend something strapless or sleeveless that would allow you to easily layer a cardigan without any unwanted shoulder padding. You can also opt for three-quarter length sleeves if you’re someone who prefers to let the dress stand by itself.
Strut your stuff: During the ceremony, the only thing people will be able to see are your shoes, so make sure you can walk in them. Avoid pumps with skinny heels and sky-high wedges that would risk you taking a tumble on the field. You’re likely to be standing in the procession line for a while so two- to three-inch wedges will probably be your most comfortable high-heel option. You can also choose flat sandals or ballet flats if you’re not willing to take the risk.
Hone in on the hemline: Graduation is a time when students really take a step into the world of adulthood, and the length of your dress should reflect that. Try to avoid anything super flouncy or short if you plan on taking pictures outside since the Ohio wind is notorious for having Marilyn Monroe-like effects. If you prefer shorter dresses, look for something that hits just above the knee to avoid shortening the look of your legs while
College graduation is a symbol of all the hard work you put into four years of classes preparing you for the real world. It’s important that your outfit also symbolizes your efforts and reflects how far you’ve come as a student and soon-to-be alumna. Wearing something that you feel comfortable and confident in will ensure that you are ready to take the next steps into the rest of your life. Congratulations, class of 2013.
Punk band White Lung ready to rock, bring energy to Columbus performance at Kobo Breanna Soroka Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu Punk band White Lung does more than just make music — it allows its sole male member a sight into the feminine sensibility. “Kenny (William) chose to be in a band with three women and I’m sure sometimes he regrets it, but at the end of the day he’s better for it,” said Mish Way, lead vocalist of White Lung. “Whoever ends up his wife can thank us later. Most young men don’t get this kind of insider knowledge of the female psyche.” The band is scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Kobo. The band will showcase its “intellectual and unique” brand of punk music, something Way said helps set the band apart from others in the same genre. “We are good at keeping the real charming stuff slightly hidden,” Way said. “You have to work for it. The sugar is in the chaos. I write lyrics that you have to figure out. We don’t give it all away so fast.” When creating this music, Way said the inspirations each member looks to vary depending on how they feel. “I am inspired by many different people and it depends on my mood,” Way said. “Today I am feeling very Lady Di meets Keith Richards with a twist of Barbra Streisand.” When White Lung appears in Columbus, Way said the audience can look forward to an interactive, energetic experience

White Lung is set to perform at Kobo on April 24. — something that makes all of the band’s performances successful. “People respond to familiarity and energy; that’s how music goes,” Way said. “People want something that riles them and they can sing along to, be a part of.”
Holly Brown, a first-year in exploration, said this energy would make more of an impact on her decision to see the band than the fact that it is a band with primarily female members. “To me, (the members) wouldn’t be a factor,” Brown said. “A lot of times I don’t really know the members of a band before I go anyway.” Ben Hamilton, promoter for Benco Presents, said White Lung is just the type of up-and-coming act he tries to bring to town. “We do some of the smaller acts, and try to bring them before other people have heard about them,” Hamilton said. “Like with White Lung, we just try to bring them to the attention of the people.” No matter how the band members will be feeling, Way said, White Lung will be ready to rock Wednesday night. “Sometimes I don’t want to go to the office because I feel sick and my throat is shot or whatever the case, but my office is a club filled with people who paid money to see a good rock show,” Way said. “I don’t take this for granted.” Sometimes this even makes for better shows, Way said. “I just channel all that frustration into the performance,” Way said. “And fortunately for my band, that works in our favor.” Kobo is located at 2590 N. High St. Tickets are $5 if purchased in advance, or $7 if purchased at the door. There will also be a $2 cover charge for those in attendance under 21 years old.
Now that you’ve graduated perhaps you can tell us which came first– the Chicken or the Eggplant Parm?

[ a+e ] Reese Witherspoon arrested, Rush enters Hall of Fame HALIE WILLIAMS Asst. arts editor williams.3948@osu.edu This is part of a weekly series called “Pop Opinions” where The Lantern offers its take on the week’s pop culture news.
Pop!
Opinions
Rush finally appreciated Canadian rock band Rush has been shafted time and time again, but alas, justice has prevailed. The trio was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and fans may now rejoice. But the group, and its fans, proved the induction was certainly long-awaited during the Thursday induction ceremony at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Rush headlined the event and was greeted with a roaring applause from the crowd. Musical guru Dave Grohl also took the stage with the band, inducting it after a spot-on, accurate speech. “From day one, the band built its following the right way. No hype, no (baloney), they did it from the ground up without any help from the mainstream press,” Grohl said. “Their influence is undeniable and their devoted fan base is only rivaled by the Grateful Dead. Look at you people, all of you people, right here! And their legacy is that of a band that stayed true to themselves no matter how uncool they may have seemed to anyone.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. Neil Diamond loves Boston Red Sox fan or not, most sports enthusiasts know Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” is sort of the traditional sing-along song in Fenway Park. And amid a tragic week in Boston after the Boston Marathon bombing, the New York-born Diamond appeared at the Red Sox game on Saturday — the first one at Fenway since the bombing — with a surprise performance of his tune. After Boston’s unfortunate events, Diamond provided an inspirational moment for the city following the Friday capture of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The Red Sox went on to win 4-3 against the Kansas City Royals with a three-run homerun in the bottom of the eighth. But the singer’s support for Boston isn’t stopping there. Diamond is in the process of writing a song inspired by the events in Boston, according to “Rolling Stone.” “I’m writing now and obviously affected by this situation in Boston, so I’m writing about it just to express myself,” he said. Reese Witherspoon and husband arrested Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon showed her true personality Friday when she was arrested for disorderly conduct. Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, were driving in Atlanta early Friday morning when he was pulled over under suspicion of

Rush was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame April 18. DUI. Witherspoon got out of the car during Toth’s sobriety test and was told several times by the officer to get back in. She then began to hang out of the window. Before being arrested, the 37-year-old actress was quoted saying, “Do you know my name? You’re about to find out who I am. You’re going to be on national news.” Witherspoon and Toth were both taken to jail, although Witherspoon was out in time to appear on the red carpet in support of her upcoming film “Mud.” She has since released an apology, but the damage is done. It’s bad enough her husband was drunk driving, but Witherspoon continued to disrespect the officer, who was just doing his job, and flaunt her career. Witherspoon has always appeared to me as America’s sweetheart. Remember “Sweet Home Alabama?” “Legally Blonde?” She was adorable. But after her reckless behavior, I must say she doesn’t appear to be so sweet anymore.

Moderation is key for concert phone use ARTS Columnist
For anyone who has gone to a concert in the past 10 years, you have seen it. Everyone, from the 13-yearold, first-time concertgoer, to the college student who sold a few books to pay SHELBY LUM for a ticket, to lum.13@osu.edu the 30-year-old accountant, does this. They pull out their cellphones and take pictures, record songs, post statuses and even use them as fake lighters to wave around in the air during some songs. And lately, this has become a concerning issue for many. For the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ tour supporting its album “Mosquito,” the band has posted a sign, posted outside of its show, urging the audience not to use cellphones while at its concerts. “Please do not watch the show through a screen on your smart device/camera. Put that shit away as a courtesy to the person behind you and to Nick, Karen and Brian. Much love and many thanks! Yeah Yeah Yeahs,” the sign read. British band Savages had the same sentiment

Rob Zombie is notorious for hating cellphones at concerts.
after its Coachella performance and posted a sign at its concert in Seattle on April 16 reading, “A note from Savages. Our goal is to discover better ways of living and experiencing music. We believe that the use of phones to film and take pictures during a gig prevents all of us from totally immersing ourselves. Let’s make this a special evening. Silence your phones.” Savages’ sign might have been a smidgen kinder than the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ sign, but the same message is there: LCD screens are no way to watch a live show. That point is completely valid too. Getting stuck behind someone who won’t put their phone away is really annoying, but I would rather get stuck behind an obnoxious picture-taker than a more than six-foot-tall guy whose torso I can’t see around. Even venues and arenas can’t seem to get it together and make a clear rule for cellphones. Nationwide Arena will be amping up its cellphone coverage in the arena, and the notorious dead zones in the building will soon have lightning-fast 4G, according to “Columbus Business First.” Even at its finest, an iPhone won’t be taking as nice of photos as professionals will and, at your finest, all you are doing is giving the person behind you a nice look at the back of your raised arm. Odds are, you aren’t even going to look at half of the 100 photos you took or sit in your room and listen to the horrible-sounding recording you now have. So just go ahead and wait to see the nice photos the next day. Use those.
But really, who wins with this request to leave cellphones at home? If someone really wants to take a photo to remember the night, they are going to take it, rules or no rules. They bought the ticket, and they can take a photo. Unless you can get an entire arena full of fans to heed to your rules, it won’t matter. But in all seriousness, excessive cellphone usage also makes for a terrible concertgoing experience. When nothing but shining cellphones are in front of you, rather than just the musician, it can be distracting. It’s aggravating knowing I paid for a concert and I am forced to endure the girl next to me taking a thousand pictures of the stage, the band, the band again, her friends, her and her friends, back to the band, back to her friends. You cannot enjoy a concert that way, and not only am I not getting my money’s worth out of the concert, but they are not either. The person behind you hates your cellphone, Rob Zombie hates your cellphone (seriously), and nearly every person who is not you thinks your video looks blurry. Moderation, people. Moderation is the key. Take a photo, remember the night and be done.

Jazz musician Craig Taborn to create dynamic experience, paint pictures with performance ELIZABETH GARABEDIAN Lantern reporter garabedian.3@osu.edu For Craig Taborn, jazz is more than just a style of music. “For me, jazz describes a larger body of AfricanAmerican creative music that engages with improvisation as a central means to creating music,” Taborn said in an email. “Excitingly, the music that has been made under the influence of jazz is wide-ranging and far-reaching … for me, it is more descriptive of an attitude and posture than a style.” Taborn is a jazz musician and lead artist of his self-titled trio that features bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Gerald Cleaver. The group is set to perform Saturday at the Wexner Center for the Arts at 8 p.m., four days after the scheduled release of its latest album,
“Chants,” which received a favorable review from the New York Times on Friday and is set to release Tuesday. A pianist since age 12, Taborn said he got his first synthesizer and began creating his own music that same year. “From the beginning, I found I was interested in making my own music and doing that often on the spur of the moment,” he said. “(I) was drawn to jazz because of the improvisation within it as well as the strong tradition of pianists.” In 2007, Taborn was invited to play at the Monterey Jazz Festival. He said he met up there with Morgan and Cleaver to try out some music ideas, and shortly afterward, the group traveled to Europe to tour. Chuck Helm, director of performing arts at the Wexner Center, said the venue and discounted tickets are an attractive part of the upcoming performance. “There are discounted tickets for students at $13, compared to $18 for the general public,” he said.

“And the venue is a hybrid of a concert hall and a club atmosphere. I’m really happy about the kind of special experience, and (Taborn) is happy with the way the room is set up. It’s kind of like a jazz club or cabaret setup.” Taborn said the goal of the trio’s upcoming performance is to equalize the instruments in each piece. “This group … was convened to explore certain possibilities with making music with the traditional piano trio idea, but that focuses more on sound and equal statements from each instrument, as opposed to the drums and bass supporting the piano,” he said. “We are all equal, and the music is written so that everyone can explore equally.” Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant at the Wexner Center, said Taborn has done well in his performances at Ohio State. He has served as a backup instrumentalist to artists such as James Carter, Chris Potter, David Torn and Tim Berne. “Craig has played here many times before, sort of
as a side man with other performers,” she said. “But he’s been terrific here. This is the first time we’ve had an opportunity to have him serve as a leader of his own trio, and so that’s a great opportunity.” Taborn said the main purpose of his music is to create a sound environment. “This (sound) environment can tell stories, paint pictures, change or shape awareness,” he said. “Ideally, we are trying to create a stimulating and dynamic experience for the listener and are invested in making these experiences unique from performance to performance. Hopefully, the audience will be able to tap into this sound space and take something away from the experience that is useful or transformative to them.” Tickets are available at the Wexner Center box office or website.

studentvoice OSU considers swapping junk food for healthier options lantern Columnist
Now that Ohio State passed the tobacco ban, the university has set its sights on banning the sale of things that almost everyone on campus consumes. Candy, dan salter chips and salter.36@osu.edu other unhealthy snacks will be the next things to be kicked off campus in the name of student health. Yes, you read that right. Most types of candy bars, cookies, salty snacks and sugar-based edibles will no longer be sold on school grounds. The offending items will be pulled from vending machines, and school officials are also recommending that these insidious snack items no longer be sold in any shop or dining facility on campus. Megan Amaya, director of Health Promotion and Wellness, said Friday that OSU will likely be following the Snackwise food rating system or other similar guidelines. Snackwise was developed by the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital as a guideline to healthy eating, and will be used to help determine what snacks will be available for students, faculty and staff. The system is color-coded, and snacks are put into green, yellow and red categories based on several criteria that determine their overall nutritional value. Any snack deemed to fall into the red category will likely be removed from campus, Amaya said. This includes snacks many would consider healthy such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, banana chips, many granola bars and even some 100-calorie snack packs. Pop-Tarts are OK, but only certain varieties and only in packages containing one pastry, according to the Snackwise website. School officials aren’t ignoring sugary drinks either.
Bernadette Melnyk, OSU’s chief wellness officer, was asked if the healthy campus initiative would extend into beverages when contract negotiations with Coca-Cola next occur. “I definitely think that will be under discussion because we know, for instance, water instead of sugared beverages is much healthier for people,” Melnyk said. OSU created a controversy when it announced that tobacco, a habit that a minority of the campus population engages in, would be banned on campus. What will happen when they target something as popular as junk food? In a previous commentary, I warned that the tobacco ban would only be the first step in OSU’s initiative to become the “healthiest campus in the nation.” I received no shortage of criticism when I said that. Some people said I was just a bitter smoker. Others argued that people eating and drinking unhealthy things were only harming themselves, not others, and the university couldn’t possibly target someone for that, could they? Many refused to support my resistance to the “we know what’s best for you” police because they don’t like smoking and refused to acknowledge the larger issue of personal freedom. I wonder, how many of those people like candy bars, or occasionally like to have more than 0.75 ounces of potato chips? Now that something they consume is being targeted, will they stand up? Will you stand up? The real issue here is not what is being banned. No matter how vile you think the target of a restriction is, it is the underlying principle that must be fought for. This nation was founded on the idea that individuals have the freedom to live their lives in the manner they see fit. It is not the responsibility of any elected or appointed official to micromanage the choices that we make, nor is it within the scope of their authority to dictate what legal substances consenting adults put into their bodies. The price for this individual liberty is that we must bear personal responsibility for the consequences of our choices. If you choose to smoke, eat or drink yourself to death, that is your right.

OSU officials are considering switching to the Snackwise food rating system, which would replace junk food sold on campus with healthier options. School officials will tell you they’re not limiting your freedom to eat or drink what you want. “It doesn’t mean a student can’t get them at the Safeway across the street, it’s just they won’t be in the vending machines,” Amaya said. Sound familiar? The university isn’t stopping you from doing anything. It’s not denying you your freedoms, you’ll just have to go across the street to exercise your rights. It is the exact same logic used for the smoking ban, and it is the exact same logic the university will use for every subsequent infringement on your personal freedoms. The school is basically saying, “We’re not making you do anything, we’re just making it very inconvenient to not do what we want.” I didn’t realize the Bill of Rights was void west of High Street. OSU President E. Gordon Gee and his health police are determined to make this the “healthiest campus in the world” and the happiness, and the freedoms, of his students are just pesky obstacles on the path to this public relations coup. The wants, desires and liberties of all Buckeyes
are now expendable in the name of greater good of the People’s Republic of Gee. I urged the student population to stand together on the smoking ban because if we do not present a united front then our individual freedoms will be picked apart one at a time. In her interview, Amaya said this junk food initiative isn’t a done deal yet, but it’s definitely at least a recommendation for everyone on campus. “It’s just to have (healthy snacks) available so when you are hungry, and you go down (to the vending machine), you’re making automatically a better choice than you would with some of the less optimal options,” Amaya said. Isn’t that reassuring? You’ll definitely make a better choice because you won’t have as many choices. We should all rejoice. Our glorious leaders have relieved us of the horrible burden of deciding what to eat. Eating healthy food will just happen “automatically.” What other odious responsibilities can they take away from our feeble and overburdened minds? Wouldn’t it be amazing if we didn’t have to make any of our own decisions at all?
Editorial: Reporting on sex crimes is necessary, difficult Lantern staff Courtesy of MCT
The moment of silence on April 22 for the Boston Marathon bombing.
Muslim Students’ Association sends thoughts to Boston Letter to the editor: We would like to send our deepest condolences to the entire city of Boston, and to all those affected by the senseless acts of violence committed over the past week. We would also like to applaud and thank the valiant men and women of the Boston Police Department, the FBI and all other parties involved in the incredible effort to capture the suspects, taking every possible measure to protect the citizenry and saving countless lives. We would also like to remind everyone that the actions of a few deplorable individuals do not reflect on the principles or character of the race, religion or ethnicity that said individuals are affiliated with. It is because of our Islamic faith that we stand firmly against the reprehensible actions that were carried out by the two suspects. Indeed, God tells us in the Holy Quran, “If anyone kills an (innocent) person … it would be as if he killed all of humanity” (5:32). We hope that this immensely difficult time of anguish, confusion and pain can serve as an opportunity for all of us, as Americans, to unite as a single family and grow stronger than ever before. The Muslim Students’ Association at Ohio State
There have been nine rapes reported on Ohio State’s campus this academic year — from the end of August until the end of March, nine reported rapes. And that doesn’t even include the sexual impositions, harassments and other incidences that for some reason don’t get reported to police. The Lantern has been doing its best to report on these cases fairly, accurately and respectfully. Our reporters and editors have been in contact with representatives from Sexual Violence Education and Support in the Student Wellness Center to be sure that our reporting is nothing but accurate and respectful. We use the official wording from the police reports on the incidences to make sure they are reported as accurately and unbiased as possible. We work with police and investigators as we report, to avoid any confusion and speculation. In other words, we’ve been doing our job, fully reporting what is reported on this campus. We’ve received letters to the editor about our coverage of alleged rapes. We’ve gotten emails, phone calls, comments on stories and more. Most of those have been concerns for the survivors, concerns that we are aware of and often have ourselves. But those concerns are precisely what keep us reporting. The Lantern has an obligation to inform OSU’s students about what’s happening on this campus, be it good, bad or terribly ugly. We report the news so students can be aware that these crimes are being reported in the neighborhoods they live in, on the streets they walk down, and sometimes, in the dorm room down the hall. Students must be made aware so they can take extra steps of precaution, whether they’re looking out for themselves or for friends. It isn’t easy to report on these cases. These survivors and suspects are often our peers, too, and could just as easily be our friends. But as a
news organization, we have a duty and obligation to tell the truth about what’s happening in the dark. We have a duty to bring the delicate yet important issues to life. Furthermore, alleged criminals need to be held responsible. Oftentimes, if The Lantern doesn’t report on these cases, no one else will. No other daily publication has such a focus on OSU. But The Lantern does not convict anyone, it simply reports what is known and what people are willing to share. Our society has begun to place a great concern on victim blaming, and some of our readers have voiced similar worries. But The Lantern has no such intentions. During the reporting process, we reach out to the survivors and give them an opportunity for their voice to be heard. If they wish to remain anonymous, that is their choice. President E. Gordon Gee visited the newsroom March 25 for a meeting with our editorial staff and addressed the issue. He said a culture should be created in which rapes are dealt with and not tolerated. “We are always monitoring that very carefully and making certain that we as an institution are protective of our students, that we’re protective of each other, that we have policies not only that go to the issue itself but also in which we created a good culture where those kind of things are reported, not tolerated,” Gee said. Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said the university itself offers support to those involved in sexual violence. “Student Life’s Student Wellness Center offers a great deal of support to those involved in sexual violence, including the Sexual Violence Education and Support team, as well as counseling and support through Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Service,” he said. “Student Life’s Student Advocacy Center also provides support and assistance for those involved.” We do our job with respect to the survivors and other affected parties in these cases. We work closely with administration and law enforcement to ensure accuracy. But we refuse to shy away from a sensitive subject.
End of an era: ‘History doesn’t just happen, it’s made’ multimedia Editor
cody cousino cousino.20@osu.edu
Tuesday marks the last day that I, and many others on The Lantern staff, will have our name in the paper as an editor. Editor-inchief Ally Marotti and I started working here at the same time almost three years ago, and this chapter is
coming to a close. I’ve known this day would come, but there’s no way to prepare for something that has been a part of your life for three years to come to a sudden end. I find myself already yearning for more time inside our windowless confines that I and about 18 other people call a second home. I have been spending a little extra time in the newsroom, trying to soak in my last moments here. Listening to the hum of my friends and fellow editors shout ideas back and forth, watching our pet fish swim around, going through bookshelves to see what little gems of history I might find. And I found some pretty incredible things on those shelves, including a full edition of The Lantern from 1953. The front page is packed with the terribly important front-page news, such as the absolutely riveting schedule of the intramural bridge tournament. I suppose some things were a little different back then.
6B
But that wasn’t all I found. There was Clark Gable handling a copy of The Lantern, with quotes of him giving it praises. There was even a clipping in one of the books as well, a story from 1958 on tuition increase, a whopping $15 increase to $90 from $75. Things were definitely different back then. But some things have remained strikingly similar. The Lantern from 1957 had just won the award for best student newspaper in Ohio, and was one of the top nine in the country. Just this year this staff won that very award, best student paper in the state of Ohio, for the third year in a row, and that’s up against noted journalism schools such as Ohio University. But then, that is to be expected with the staff that we have. In my three years here I have never witnessed a group come together to work as hard as we did day in and day out to get the best possible paper out there. The audience picks up a finished product every day, but it’s not always easy to get that out to the masses. Breaking news can happen at any time in the day, taking any plans for the front page that might have been set and demanding an entirely new plan from scratch. Just last week, The Lantern stepped up as a staff to cover some of the most difficult stories anyone can write. A student tragically passing away, Ohio State students witnessing the bombing in Boston and another student who is still in critical condition months after a tragic accident of her own. No journalist looks forward to those stories, especially a journalist who, in reality, is just another student, just like everyone else.
sarah pfledderer / For The Lantern
The Spring Semester 2013 Lantern staff. It is difficult to handle situations like that with poise and professionalism, but I witnessed a group of kids turn into a group of professional journalists and watched everyone handle himself or herself as well as any professional journalist out in the world today. Personally I believe that is because this group has been through most of the highs and lows a journalist can go through: an undefeated football season, posters of front pages being sold, tragic accidents, a basketball team in the Elite Eight, bomb scares and even newsroom blackouts. Yes, our own place of work lost power, about 45 minutes before we were done for the day. Everything was on the computers and they, and our server, were down. With no other option, the entire staff descended upon the 18th Avenue Library and started
everything completely from scratch, staying up until 4 a.m. to get out the next day’s paper. The Lantern was started in 1881. There is a lot of tradition and history in those 132 years of existence, and my three here are coming to an end. Knowing all that’s come before us, and all that we’ve done this year alone, it will be tough to step aside. I know that I will miss the hum, chatter and friendship. I will miss contributing to the storied history of our organization. On that fateful night without power, one editor perhaps said it best, “History doesn’t just happen, it’s made.” And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing here at The Lantern, each day turning out a piece of history. I will no longer be making pieces of history here, and neither will several others, but we sure have made some history, and we sure are proud of it.
