The TOP 3 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK

LIFE

Room & Board to nearly double The Ohio State University Board of Trustees recently convened to discuss future costs for Ohio State Students. The Board came to a conclusion that room and board for OSU students will increase 6 percent each year for the next 10 years. Current room and board is set at $11,666, but will reach $20,892 by 2025. This increase in cost is attributed to the university’s North Campus Residential District Transformation Project, set to be completed in the Fall of 2016. OSU also recently introduced a new meal plan for the 2015-2016 school year, the costs of which will be revisited and finalized later this year. The Board also decided to waive several fees facing students who study abroad. In past years, study abroad students would pay both OSU tuition, as well as tuition at their foreign institute of matriculation. For at least the next two years, study abroad students will not be required to pay OSU instructional fees while abroad.

OSU Alum sentenced to life in Egyptian prison OSU alumni Mohamed Soltan was sentenced to life in Egyptian prison this past Saturday, after spending the last two years imprisoned there. Court hearings for Soltan’s case were postponed no less than 25 times before the verdict was finally made. Soltan was originally arrested after participating in a Cairo protest led by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic political party. Soltan was arrested in his home, after receiving surgery for a gunshot wound he received during the protest. The U.S. State Department is currently fighting for Soltan’s release, but the Egyptian government has yet to take action against the verdict, choosing to allow the legal process to take its course. While there is no word regarding Soltan’s release, campaigners, as well as Soltan’s family, are hopeful that he will be extradited in a manner similar to Peter Greste, a journalist previously imprisoned in the same prison as Soltan. 8

Jittering for java Are college students addicted to coffee? By SARAH MIKATI @smikati_osu a

ollege is a battleground, and the students are warriors. We need every weapon imaginable to come out alive, and for many students, that weapon is coffee. Coffee to keep us up during our all-nighter at the 18th Avenue Library, writing a 20-page paper. Coffee to motivate us to get out of bed for our dreaded 8 a.m. classes. Coffee to sip during awkward silences on first dates. Coffee to eliminate the horrid effects of hangovers. Coffee is a college student’s best weapon, and best friend. In fact, according to a 2012 study done by the National Coffee Association, 40 percent of young adults aged between 18 and 24 drink coffee every day. But besides steaming energy boosts, what are we getting from our cup of joe? Gladys Gibbs, director of Student Health Services at Ohio State, says that coffee offers many advantages and disadvantages, depending on consumption amount, which she says should be less than 400 mg per day. “There are cognitive and there are psych benefits,” she said. “Improved reaction time, visual spatial reasoning, alertness and treatment for headaches.” Some long term problems that caffeine may help treat are Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, heart disease and type two diabetes, Gibbs said. What do we need to absolutely stay away from? According to Gibbs and the Center for DiseaseControl, mixing caffeine and alcohol is a horrible idea, due to their opposing natures: alcohol is a depressant, while caffeine is a stimulant. “One of the protective mechanisms from not over drinking is that we feel intoxicated,” Gibbs said, explaining the nature of alcohol as a depressant. “Your body starts to experience signals that you’ve uweekly.com

had enough, and you might get sleepy.” “But with the stimulant effect of caffeine, it diminishes that sleepiness,” she said. “So it’s gonna take you longer to figure out that you’ve had more alcohol than you should have, and the energy to carry out the behaviors that might put you more at risk.” While its risks combined with alcohol are significant, caffeine alone can also induce anxiety, insomnia, irritability, excessive urination and osteoporosis. But most importantly, over consumption of coffee leads to addiction, which Gibbs says can be detected if someone is experiencing headaches, nausea or the jitters. James Buchanan, a fourth-year in the fine arts, said he considers himself a coffee addict, guzzling down six to eight cups of coffee each day. “I can’t even do anything unless I have at least a cup of coffee,” he said. “It’s the thing that gets everything started. Almost like an alcoholic, but it’s not totally extreme.” A coffee lover since age 13, Buchanan said that deprivation from his morning brew will make him lethargic, affect his mood and induce headaches. A 2011 study found the most cited reasons for students’ consumption of caffeine were to stay awake (76 percent) and help them wake up in the morning (59.3 percent). While caffeine provides a stimulant effect, Gibbs says the best solution for fatigue is sleep. “The stimulant effect of caffeine can be helpful if you’re not already chronically sleep deprived, if it’s a short-term mechanism to try and gain additional function,” she said. “But if you’re chronically sleep deprived, and you’re trying to use coffee to offset that, at some point the fatigue and tiredness is going to come through.”

the ultimate coffee crawl

A coffee shop hop not for the faint of heart or weak of spirit By EMMY WELLS

@AndtheEMMYgoes2 a

here are few things I love more than coffee, but if there’s one thing I might love more, it’s coffee shops. Exploring Columbus coffee shops is a hobby of mine, so it was a dream come true when my boss told me she would pay me to do a campus coffee crawl. I went to six different places before I tapped out for the day. Here’s a look at what it’s like to consume six caffeinated beverages in a few short hours. I made my first stop at Fox in the Snow Cafe. Bustling even at 11 a.m. on a Monday, it’s definitely an up-and-coming Columbus favorite. I ordered a plain coffee and a blueberry scone that set the bar high for the rest of the day’s journey. As I sat there soaking up the earthy atmosphere, I decided this place might just be the most Instagrammable coffee shop in Columbus. Next, I headed about a mile up the road to Brenen’s Cafe, where I ordered a Nutty Irish Espresso, the barista’s drink of choice. As I made my way

to a table by the window, I admired the brick walls, stopping to sip my espresso. The window table, although a little crusty, was perfect for creeping on passersby. My stomach was starting to feel overloaded, but I pressed on. My next stop was The Berry Cafe in Thompson, where I ordered something I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce. Sipping my iced mint matcha, I took the elevator to the 11th floor – very obviously the best place to enjoy a cup of anything. After snapping the obligatory photo overlooking campus, it was back down the elevator and I made the journey to Kafe Kerouac, where I was transported back in time. There was a ‘60s vibe hanging about the room as chill, instrumental music played over the speakers. Displays of vinyls and books were for sale, taking me back to better days … just kidding, I’m only 21. But it was still a cool place. SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY. photo by emmy wells

inspiring q&A's:

professor chris otter

By KAYLYN THOMAS

occer coach, researcher and award-winning professor, Christo-

pher Otter has been teaching at OSU for nearly a decade. In writing these professor profiles, one common theme has struck me: the advice each professor gives and how it transcends the classroom. This is advice I listen to, even after graduating. It’s both helpful and encouraging (and really is relevant in the “real world”). Professor Otter is no different. Hailing from the UK, this history professor interconnects modern British history with technology, public health and food, among others. He encourages students to ask more questions—and read as much as you can. Some of his favorite memories while teaching are

seeing former students go on to get their PhD’s, or attend law school. His lessons on history will leave you really thinking about the past. What courses do you teach? I teach classes in British History, the History of Science, the History of Technology, Food History, Environmental History and Historical Methods/Historiography. How long have you been teaching at OSU? 8 years. Where is your hometown? Grimsby, UK. Why did you come to Columbus/choose OSU to teach? I was attracted by the strong programs in European and Environmental History. My wife and I were also offered positions at the same institution, which was extremely fortunate for us! You specialize in modern British history, with a focus on, among other areas, technology and public health and the history of food. How did that come to be? As a graduate student, I was drawn to the study of urban technologies, and wrote a dissertation and then a book on the history of light. I found reading engineering manuals, books on sanitation and building journals to be surprisingly en-

uweekly.com

joyable, and also peculiarly informative about other things, like the human body and power relations. These texts provide a deep insight into the ways humans have imagined and built their own ecologies. My work on food grew out of this: sanitary and medical journals in the later nineteenth century showed great concern about diseases spreading through milk, the potentially degenerative effect of eating white bread or the pros and cons of eating meat. I generally just follow my primary sources and see where they take me. What are some tips that you would offer to students to better prepare and [to] do well in your department? Students should talk to their professors more frequently than they do! We really are here to help them get the best education possible, and we also do understand how tough life can be as an undergraduate. Be alert, focused and enthusiastic in class: ask questions, even ones that seem silly. Read as widely as you can. SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

don't worry, be 'yonce (aka be confident!)

eing confident at your job, especially if you’re new or not that confident of a person, can be daunting. If you’re one of those people than don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to condition yourself to get there. Confidence is important in any career, it instils dependability and trust from employers. It’s important to have, or at least present yourself like you have it. Faking it until you make it can go a long way. First, it’s important to understand where your self-doubt comes from. Where you think your own weaknesses are and what you can work on is a good foundation for working your own confidence up. You can also gain confidence from other areas of your life. You might find it easier to start with finding confidence outside the workplace. Fuel your work confidence with the confidence you get in your personal life. (This can be easier for some people because if you mess up, overcompensate, and come off as arrogant at least you won’t get fired.) Within your workplace life and your personal life focusing on little victories or little successes can add a lot to your confidence. Remember when you did well on a presentation. Remind yourself when

or those looking to stay in Ohio, you’re in luck. Forbes recently put out a list of the top 10 best cities for recent college grads in 2015. While the capital city didn’t make the cut, Cincinnati came in at number 10 on the list that looked at cities with a population over 100,000. With a 27% millennial population, 46 jobs per 1,000 residents, a lifestyle score of 24, a 4.9% unemployment rate, and a median rent of $2,138 for a 2 bedroom apartment.

you were complimented on a report. If you find yourself having a tough day those little victories can go a long way to help your confidence. Additionally, planning and organization can help to boost your confidence. By making a plan and keeping yourself organized, you’ll feel in control of your day, motivated to complete more assignments, and in the end feel successful by having a visual of your completed tasks. Motivation is another key to confidence, slacking at your job is likely to make you feel like your position is a waste of time and lower your own self-worth and confidence. Success, whether by completing tasks or focusing on little victories, can help fuel confidence. One thing you can do to help your confidence at work is to simply do research on your field of work or learn new skills within it. The more you know and understand about the work you’re doing the more confident you’ll be doing it. Furthermore, confidence with the knowledge to back it up is the makings of a leader, which employers are sure to look for.

The Women's Fund of Central Ohio Part 1 of 2

our years ago I found myself at The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio’s Keyholder event. I had recently moved back to Columbus, was a year out of college (which felt oddly anticlimactic) and felt completely lost. I was unsure of what I wanted to do, and frustrated because that’s all I could think about. While I was fortunate to have a job, I felt a huge gap between my passions and my paycheck. This all changed when I was invited to attend Keyholder, which would end up being the most important non-traditional networking event I’ve ever attended. I didn’t know the first thing about getting involved in the community or networking, but I went to the event as the last minute guest of a friend. I had no clue what I was about to experience – and I definitely didn’t know it would set me on the path to my passion.

I'd never heard of The Women’s Fund before, but knew of actress Goldie Hawn, who was the night’s featured speaker. I didn’t anticipate leaving more inspired by the organization than by the celebrity, but that’s exactly what happened. In just one hour I felt more inspired than I had in the last year. I was hooked. I didn’t know how, but I knew I needed to be a part of The Women’s Fund.

Key takeaway:

Take chances and get involved in your community, even when the networking connection isn’t obvious. You may miss out on a major opportunity by turning down event invitations like these. Check out part 2 in next week's issue.

watch yourselves, classmates By Ty anderson

When my neighbor’s house was first broken into earlier this school year, the police assured him that it was a prank— that his roommates were trying to pull a fast one. Never mind that fact that his roommates were out of town, and never mind the question of "why the HELL would his roommates break into their own house?"

The police weren’t interested in helping. The second time my neighbor’s house was broken into, the back window was smashed open and two laptops were stolen from the premises, never to be seen again. In the recent past, students have been attacked, some of them have even died, on off-campus streets. Broken car windows litter the alleyways, and muggings and drug deals occur far too often to be overlooked. OSU does a less-than-adequate job of providing information regarding campus area crime, and the police aren’t exactly jumping out of their seats to help us students feel safe. When my friends and family offer to spend the weekend visiting, I’m only half-kidding when I refer to my 4th Street residence as "the ghetto." Because how else do you describe the dilapidated buildings and shady streets that exist East of High? Sure, the area has charm—but so do the wild plains of Africa. It took me until my senior year of college to realize that the area in which I live is dangerous. That every time I walk home from the bars alone at 2am, I’m putting my own wellbeing at risk. That a single front door lock is not enough—a deadbolt, a Rottweiler and a security system might also be in order. I’m being dramatic, I know, but for good reason. People die around here. The chance that it will be you is small, perhaps even miniscule, but that small chance still exists. The Columbus University District might not be the highest crime area in the city, and it surely isn’t the only one, but the majority of its residents are young, vulnerable, and wholly unaware of the dangers that surround them. I wish that I were writing this as an open letter to OSU and the Columbus Police Force, alas, I don’t see that doing a lot of good. Rather, I think it’s up to us, as students and as residents of the University District, to be proactive. To be aware of the crime that exists in our neighborhood, and to look out for both ourselves and for one another. So don’t walk home alone after dark. Yeah, you hear it everywhere, but it’s advice worth repeating. And if you have no other choice, walk where the people are. Avoid the alleys and the unlit streets, and never let yourself be the only person in a stranger’s field of vision. Also, always lock your doors, even if the sun is shining and you’re lounging on the first floor. My neighbor’s house was broken into at 9am in the middle of the week, and his roommate was home, completely unaware of the fact that his living room was being looted. And finally, know your resources. I don’t know if the police are just busy with more important matters, or if they truly don’t care, but they aren’t going to do much if your laptop gets stolen or your car window gets smashed. You’ll be fighting your own battle. That’s all I got. Be safe, fellow classmates.

How OSU swim coach Bill Wadley keeps program among the best By @rmcglade24 a

ore than two decades filled with nothing but success, and he's still looking for ways to improve. Ohio State men's swimming head coach Bill Wadley completed his 26th season at the helm last month. This season, much like the previous 25, garnered numerous awards and achievements. OSU placed 16th at the 2015 NCAA championships in late March. This is now the 11th consecutive season the program has finished in the Top 25. At the 2015 championships, three Buckeyes were named All-Americans — Michael DiSalle, Josh Fleagle and Matt McHugh. As mentioned, this is just a sample of the success OSU has had during Wadley's tenure. The 2010 Big Ten title was the club’s first conference crown since 1956. Furthermore, school records for 19 different swimming events have been set by student-athletes Wadley has coached. The Illinois native credits his success throughout the years to obtaining bright recruits who grasp what it means to be a part of a team. “… if you recruit intelligent, young people 16

they typically understand the nature of teamwork and brotherhood,” Wadley said in an interview. “And they understand the nature of learning about leadership and how leadership will change your life forever for the better.” In addition to wanting his swimmers to perform well in the pool, Wadley expects them to excel in the classroom. For the 2013-14 season, the team had an overall grade point average of 3.14.

"Your swimming time is meaningful only to those of us who are in the sport," Six members on that team had a GPA of 3.70 or better, and were named to the Big Ten's Distinguished Scholars list. Life after swimming is the ultimate reason why Wadley holds his competitors to such a high academic standard. “Your swimming time is meaningful only to uweekly.com

those of us who are in the sport,” Wadley said. “It’s not going to be meaningful to your future bosses or employers or certainly those that you interview with.” He noted that each student-athlete’s “window of opportunity” in the sport is a brief four years that shrinks day by day. “Over the next few years [the window] slowly closes to the point where now you can see through clearly to what’s next beyond sports, and that is your career and your family goals and your life goals,” Wadley said for why he preaches the importance of education to his swimmers. To continue his success with the Scarlet and Gray, Wadley described it is a matter of modifying coaching methods that he has already established. “You have to continually find ways to improve everything you’re doing,” Wadley said. “… You look internally for methodologies or ways of doing the same thing better or differently that are going to resonate with young people. You look for strategies that are going to be a better model than your previous strategy.”

Smiles broke across the players’ faces as Tully’s walk-up song, “Selfie,” blasted from the speakers at Bill Davis Stadium. “That was a statement song,” senior catcher Connor Sabanosh said. “[Tully’s] just a goofball and he comes out on Friday night, Big Ten team here and ‘Selfie’ comes on.” Choosing at-bat and walk-up music is a small perk of being a member of the OSU baseball team. Players will often talk with friends and family members to determine what song sounds the best. “It’s a process to figure out what you want,” Sabanosh said. “It has to be a song that keeps you calm, but gets you going a little bit.” The OSU Fan Experience crew acts as the team DJ, taking requests and compiling a playlist from the edited versions of the players’ chosen songs. As with the team’s pregame playlist, fans at Bill Davis Stadium are exposed to a diverse blend of music ranging from hip-hop to country. Then there was the game two years ago when an OSU batter approached the plate to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” a story fondly remembered by OSU Assistant Director of Fan Experience Marcus Mercer. The player, whose name Mercer could not remember, changed his song after going 0-4 on the day. The purpose songs serve is sometimes understated. It’s a pump-up soundtrack for a 10-step stroll from the on-deck circle to the batter’s box and also a way for players to stay loose during the game. “I’ll dance anytime, I dance in the outfield with [Pat] Porter and Ronnie [Dawson],” sophomore outfielder Troy Montgomery said of enjoying the

nhl playoffs > everything else Why you should watch the greatest playoffs in sports By @M_McGreevy a

atrice Bergeron couldn’t catch a break. What started as torn rib cartilage morphed into a slew of additional injures — a broken rib, a separated shoulder, a punctured lung. Maybe it’s unfair to say Bergeron couldn’t catch a break. Perhaps it’s safer to say he didn’t want one. What Bergeron wanted was a nerve block. It was a means to reach his greater goal —winning the Stanley Cup. Well, Bergeron’s Boston Bruins lost in Game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Final and the Chicago Blackhawks lifted the cup inside Boston’s TD Garden. It was a crushing defeat for the Bruins’ captain, but it was another victory for hockey. Once again the NHL playoffs had proven to be a captivating spectacle – a manifestation of manliness in an otherwise overlooked sport. It’s unlikely the NHL will ever surpass the popularity of the NFL, NBA or MLB, but for one month a year, its postseason grabs attention of the casual fan.

Why? Because it’s grueling. Because it has tradition. Because without it, sports would be without a measuring stick for intensity. Speed and physicality are ramped up over the course of a seven-game series. Then the process repeats. And repeats. And, if a team is lucky enough, repeats again. Every hit is to hurt, every chirp to intimidate. But at the conclusion of each bruising series, players meet at center ice to shake hands in a unique show of respect. To some, the handshake is unpopular. As Blackhawks legend Stan Mikita put it, “You’re expected to shake hands with a guy who is slipping his hand into your pocket to take your money.” Mikitia might be correct — but even if the handshake is fabricated, it’s tradition — much the same as the playoff beards or Detroit’s tossing an octopus onto the ice. To change anything would be unjust to the sport and to the fans it accrues. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it — bones and ribs excluded.

the ones who (will) knock CBJ are loaded, ready and want back into playoffs next year By @GEOFFHAMMERSLEY a

he scariest team in hockey right now: the Columbus Blue Jackets. The problem: the Blue Jackets missed the playoff cut because of an abysmal start to their season, and the fact that they incurred more than 500 man-games lost because of injuries. Ending the season on a 13-game point streak (a franchise best), the Blue Jackets didn’t roll over and “tank” their season away after they knew the playoff dream was officially dead on arrival. If this proves anything, it’s that the Blue Jackets aren’t willing to quit; they play to the best of their ability each night. That’s the chemistry of a great team. It’s obvious to spot. Look at Sergei Bobrovsky and Nick Foligno. They end each win with a huge hug that makes even the bitterest Blue Jacket rival smile. When teams look like they’re having fun, it becomes the sort of infectious disease that swarms over a fan base. Everyone begins to have fun watching the team and reading about the team. Bottle up this current Blue Jacket mentality and combine it with a semi healthy team next year, and

you have a formula for a deep playoff run. I said it: the Blue Jackets will make the playoffs next year. Even more specific: start booking your Eastern Conference finals accommodations for at least two games in Columbus. For 13 games this season, I witnessed the Blue Jackets in person. Each game, I saw a team that would levy the hits, make the extra pass to get a clean shot and watch the goalies stand on their heads. Unfortunately, the injuries and plain bad luck at finding the back of the next killed the playoff run this season. Next season look for Foligno, Scott Hartnell and Ryan Johansen to be the ones who will steer the team to hockey in late April and May. Foligno will attempt to notch another 30-plus goal season, while pushing toward 70 points; Johansen will be in the same area code. Staying healthy will be the only obstacle that stands in the way of the Blue Jackets’ postseason for next year. Here’s the bright side: it can’t get any

Matt and Kim 'glow' ahead of Columbus tour stop By JACK LYNCH

att and Kim just released their fifth fulllength album, “New Glow” April 7, and the indie pop duo shows no signs of ceasing enthusiasm. UWeekly had the chance to speak with vocalist and keyboardist Matt Johnson about the act’s new album, their trademark high-energy live shows, and what it’s like to date your bandmate. “On paper, if you broke down how much time we spent together, which is every second of every day, we should have killed each other a long time ago,” Johnson said. “Eventually I laid a rule down that if the bathroom door was shut, no questions could be asked through said bathroom door.”

But in spite of the constant contact, the couple makes it work. “I wouldn’t suggest this for every couple, but it’s one of those things that pans out well, and it couldn’t have worked any other way,” Johnson said. Songwriting is always a collaboration that yields a consistent product due to the pair’s compatible goals, Johnson said. “We don’t make dark music. Where we come from as people and a band is a positive spirit that hopefully gets you excited and is about having fun,” Johnson said. “In the end, we’re making very much the songs we want to hear in this world.” Johnson’s positive spirit is evident in Matt

and Kim’s live show, which often involves a novel approach to crowdsurfing. The duo encourages audience members to make footholds by putting their hands in the air while Kim walks on top of them and dances. “I think it takes a lot of core strength for her to shake her booty over the audience’s head,” Johnson said. “I don’t know how she doesn’t fall over. She has her own sense of gravity. I think it revolves around her round booty.” Matt and Kim are set to play the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion April 16.

Rockin' the docs: Gateway gears up for Documentary Week By HEATHER CLARK

UWeekly spoke with Johnny DiLoretto, director of communications with Gateway Film Center, about the ins and outs of the theater’s tradition. UWeekly: What types of films does Gateway look for? DiLoretto: Our president and programmer look through a variety of films and choose the best from those that have been publicly noticed. They try to put together a wide variety of films that cut across important topics, such as food, art, science, and politics. UW: What should viewers expect when attending the festival? JD: There will be events going on in the lobby after certain films. Erik Tait, a local magician and performer, will be hosting a panel discussion with other magicians. Horacio Nieto, a local fashion designer, will be doing a talk back discussion after “Men of the Cloth.” Other events are set to take place as well. UW: What films are you excited for or find the most interesting? JD: “The Hunting Ground,” a movie about sexual assault on campus, and “Merchants of Doubt,” one that exposes paid pundits who are hired to claim that global warming is false, will reach a wide audience. Small documentaries, such as “An Honest Liar,” “Covenant,” and “Men of the Cloth” are ones that interest me in particularly. UW: “The Hunting Ground” seems very relevant to Ohio State students.

The Pleasant Tense mixes vintage tone, modern techniques

t the forefront of The Pleasant Tense is lead singer Marnee Richardson, whose versatile, powerful voice soars over the careful musical arrangements of the band’s fourpiece rhythm section. It’s easy to get sucked into the band’s eclectic, soulful style of music, which ranges from slow, intimate conversations with the audience to raw, classic rock jams that make the crowd move. “I love seeing people dance,” Richardson said in an interview last week. “As long as they’re having a good time, that’s what matters most.”

“I feel like dancing is way underrated these days,” bassist Raad Shubaily chimed in. “People are afraid to dance for bands, unless it’s like a DJ.”

It’s true that fist pumps have overtaken fancy footwork in many modern clubs, but songs like “Get Back To Me” and “Magic 137” give you the urge to get down, old school. Both songs can be heard on the band’s most recent release, the four-song EP “Easy Art.” The centerpiece of the band’s studio recordings is the massive “Trigger Happy,” which slowly builds in energy until it arrives at its explosive drop, easily maintaining momentum until the end in a welcome departure from average pop songwriting. I asked Richardson why The Pleasant Tense chooses to push the envelope in terms of songwriting, and she said, “Why not? Why write like everyone else? I like being different.” “When a song is done, it has an extra energy, an atmosphere that wasn’t there when you were just thinking of the parts,” said guitarist Andrew Sias. “When you finally figure out how to play them together it gets to another echelon of music.” “It’s definitely a feeling,” Richardson said. “An underlying magic.” For a glimpse of that magic, be sure to check out The Pleasant Tense at Fourth Street Bar and Grill April 16 for a free Local Love show.

Pissed students need to find peace with Passion Pit

By BRYAN FRAKER

hat’s the issue with having Passion Pit come to campus? OUAB announced that Passion Pit will be the headliner for Big Spring Concert April 25 on the South Oval. There has unfortunately been some uproar that Passion Pit isn’t a big enough band, but I’m here to change everyone’s mind and make Passion Pit seem like a great choice. First off, Passion Pit is a big enough name.

What did you expect OUAB to do, reanimate the dead members of The Beatles?

Do you also think that other “bigger” names aren’t busy already doing huge tours? Getting someone like Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy or Jay Z isn’t exactly possible given date restrictions. Next thing is that Passion Pit is a good band. With songs like “Carried Away” and “Take a Walk” in its song library, you can see Passion Pit has made some catchy hits to date. Its upbeat, alternative sound makes it a perfect choice for Ohio State because alternative music is popular with most college students. Thirdly, why is there an uproar about OUAB doing this anyway? You’re getting a free show from a nationally recognized band. Do you have any idea how many other colleges aren’t so lucky? Why do we have to be disappointed about everything in this social media society? Just because you don’t feel Passion Pit would have topped your list of bands, how about we give it a chance instead of saying it sucks? College is a time for experimentation. Give Passion Pit a listen. That leads to my final point: just try Passion Pit out. If it’s not your cup of tea after you listen to a few songs, make a note of it and move on with your life. It’s a free concert.

TECH

the end of apple?!

hat’s the kind of hyperbolic headline that you will most likely be seeing at some time in 2015, if the Apple Watch reviews are any indication. With pre-orders for the device open to the public now, the embargo for tech sites to post their initial thoughts on the product has been lifted and the opinions are rather mixed. Critics are complaining that the watch is too glitchy, that it’s too slow, that the battery life is terrible, that it takes too long to load and that it’s ultimately too expensive and unnecessary. Therefore, many are predicting that this is the year the tech giant will finally encounter a major backlash the likes of which the millennial generation has never seen. If the watch fails, it might show that the company lost its sense of vision when it lost Steve Jobs. Jobs was known for devising innovative products that quickly become ubiquitous to everyday life. It was that way with the iMac, the iPod and iPhones. But what will the company think of now without that creative force behind the scenes? Granted, Apple lovers will more than likely shell out the money for the iWatch and many still have plenty of faith in CEO Tim Cook. It will just be intriguing to see if there is any kind of repercussions for the company that’s considered by many to be the best in the business.

youtube launche$ paid content

ouTube is set to offer a subscription service to viewers at some point this year, if a letter obtained by “Bloomberg BusinessWeek” is to be believed. The letter, directed at an unknown recipient, stated, “We’re excited to build on this momentum by taking another big step in favor of choice: offering fans an ads-free version of YouTube for a monthly fee. By creating a new paid offering, we'll generate a new source of revenue that will supplement your fast growing advertising service.” The move is designed so that YouTube can be the destination for on-demand streaming videos, in its hope to rival the king of VOD, Netflix and the newly launched HBO Now. Granted, the content that YouTube looks to offer is completely different when compared to those two. It is geared more towards vlogs and Jimmy Fallon clips than movies and TV shows. Last November, YouTube, in partnership with its parent company Google, launched a subscription music service and invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the venture. The results have been gangbusters, as the service generates more than 1 billion monthly views. Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG said, "We're increasingly moving into an age where consumers are learning to avoid advertising. Between DVRs, Netflix and now Amazon, we're increasingly learning to lead an ad-free life." Google is apparently already informing content creators on YouTube to actively be thinking of ideas for paid content, separate from the free videos they already offer. This is very similar to the way in which crowd-funding site Patreon works, with subscribers getting access to content that’s behind a pay wall.

STREAMING

hbo streams, hulu hones in on gifs

fter what has seemed like years in the making, “HBO Now” launched last week to much fanfare. The debut of the service was just in time for the recent premieres of returning hit shows “Game of Thrones” and “Silicon Valley.” After many, many months of speculation, HBO finally confirmed last year that it was in the process of launching its own streaming service to rival the big boys (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) and details for the service were released early in 2015. The idea has always seemed great for people who love HBO’s programming but: A) didn’t want to spend the ridiculous monthly fee required for the service, or more importantly; B) have cut the cable cord entirely. HBO Now is geared more towards the latter demographic. Currently, HBO Now is only available on Apple devices and is offering a free 30-day trial for customers before charging them the regular monthly price of $14.99. That means you can try before you buy and commit to yet another monthly streaming plan. It’s pretty obvious that HBO Now will appeal to millennials first and foremost, as you’ll only be able to watch it through an Apple TV, iPhone, PC or Mac. Traditionalists may scoff that epic TV shows like “Game of Thrones” shouldn’t be viewed on such small screens, but that seems to be the way the

technology is headed, for better or worse.

Hulu launches GIF search engine

Whether you pronounce it “gif” or “jif” (the creator says it’s the latter, but we’re not convinced), your favorite meme-worthy moving images have found a new outlet in the world of streaming. Now Hulu has made it easier to grab a GIF quickly when you need that perfect Facebook comment response or to fill your slash fiction “Supernatural” tumblr. Launched last week, the tumblr powered site “The Perfect GIF” was designed as a TV-related GIF search engine, filled with pre-created GIFs from the top shows across Hulu’s entire library. The downside to this service is that every GIF comes pre-stamped with “#Hulu” as well as the name of the TV show it comes from. This stipulation may cause some GIF purists to turn their noses up in disgust but for anyone who needs that flawless eye roll or fake laugh moment from their favorite show, this service is perfect. The site is going to be updated on the regular as well, with new GIFs to be added within “days to weeks” after new episodes air.

heart of it all fashion Have you ever been to a three-day fashion event with art exhibits, spoken word performances and theatrical fashion shows?

We didn’t think so.

eart of it All Fashion, a conglomerate group of OSU students with an interest in fashion, is holding what they call a ‘fashion experience’ April 24-26 right here on campus. Everything will begin with the 17th Dissent Art Exhibition on Fri., April 24 from 4-11 p.m. at Dude Locker. From visual art to the art of the spoken word, the first day shines a light on the artists and creative minds of Ohio. All works will be on display, and many pieces will be available for purchase. April 25 will feature HOA Avenue, which—according to outreach coordinator Austin Garofolo— will have an El Rodeo feel. HOA Avenue, from 12-5 p.m. at 527 E Hudson St., will feature Ohio vendors of all kinds: food, jewelry, clothing and more. The second event of the day includes the Turbulence

Street Wear Fashion Show presented by Dr. Martens. This show will highlight the latest trends from Ohio businesses and boutiques. It promises to be chocked full of energy and a few surprises! The last event, Flight HOA 1803 Designer Fashion Show, takes place April 26 from 6-9 p.m. in the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom. The high-end couture show, it is framed like a flight, with boarding time at 6 p.m. and take off at 7 p.m. As the final event of the weekend, it won’t disappoint. This event was a simple idea only seven months ago. Co-creators Aaron Carey and Nadiyah Harper were always big thinkers. Harper, who just returned from a summer internship with Henri Bendel, brought to Carey the idea of holding a fashion show. The two rounded up some friends and began building on this

idea. Soon, the event became more than just a fashion show—it manifested into a three-day event with sponsors and nationally recognized brand names. “Columbus has the third highest per capita of designers, just behind Los Angeles and New York City,” Carey said. He thought it was time this city’s fashion entrepreneurs got some recognition— HOA’s ultimate goal is to bring national awareness of the budding fashion community in Columbus. HOA has worked diligently to make this event what it is. So if you want to support the effort of these students, attend this event and discover, and be inspired by, different styles and creative minds.

FASHION PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION OSU students write a story of fashion at this year's show

ach year, the OSU Fashion Production Association (FPA) hosts a themed fashion show. Every garment is sewn together by the hands of an OSU student designer, each stage direction is choreographed by an OSU mind, a production student shines each light—you get the idea. Last Saturday in the Archie Griffin Ballroom, they held their literature-themed fashion show. The stage, shaped like a ‘T’ this year, created the right atmosphere for the theme. Motivated by literature, the designers used ideas from their personal favorites. The students featured looks inspired by the classics, poetry and romance. Pieces reminiscent of teen fiction had a grunge or hipster feel, whereas the finale (drawing from fantasy and science fiction) included outfits with details of deconstruction and futurism. Tiana Ahmed is a second-year student involved in FPA. Not only did she model in the last two shows, but she also works on the marketing team to increase student involvement. Ahmed majors in marketing and minors in fashion and retail studies. Being a member of FPA, she receives hands-on experience in marketing. “For me personally being a business major, it just shows me different aspects of the retail world and in marketing and public relations. On the production side, it’s great to learn how to create something bigger than yourself and be a team player and work with others,” Ahmed said. FPA meets every Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in Campbell Hall. If you’d like to gain experience in the production, marketing -Sara Wilson or design field, consider joining this diverse group.

Wieners on wheels

Angry Wiener food truck serves up surprising gourmet dogs By @MACKENZIEBARNEY a

here are plenty of pizza and taco trucks in Columbus, but surprisingly few hot dog trucks. Fortunately, The Angry Wiener exists. The Angry Wiener is the sister truck of The Cheesy Truck. The Angry Wiener is serving-up a large variety of gourmet hotdogs to the streets of Columbus. Since the truck specializes in dogs, they don’t stop at traditional beef franks; you can choose from all-meat, beef, turkey or veggie. The Angry Weiner is the truck’s specialty and comes with a 1/4lb. all beef dog on a toasted sub bun and topped with chili, jalapenos, bacon, onions, sriracha ketchup and spicy brown mustard. This dog is only for the extremely hungry hotdog lovers. The truck serves any kind of hotdog you could want: they have dogs with pineapple, dogs with sauerkraut, dogs

with macaroni and cheese and much more. If you’re looking to be boring, try the plain Greasy Weiner or the Classic Weiner with chili, cheddar and onion. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, the rest of the menu is for you. Try The Hound Dog: an all-meat dog topped with peanut butter and bacon jam. One of my favorites is The Greek topped with tomato, black olives, feta cheese, red onion and tzatziki sauce. The truck also serves delicious beer battered French fries to keep your dog company. Try the loaded fries with chili, onions, cheddar cheese, jalapenos and hot sauce. If you would like to track down The Angry Weiner hotdog truck, visit their website at www.theangryweiner.com and look for “This Week’s Schedule” on the home page.

Why beer isn't really bad for you

or as long as there have been students, there have been ways in which students attempt to reach a higher level of understanding and concentration, especially as finals creep up. Procrastination, anyone? You’ve likely tried a few, either with the intention of re-reading course material to teach yourself a semester’s worth of shit overnight or just to maintain your IQ for fun. So, what if I told you, forget the classical music and the brain training apps and skip straight to the beer? Last year, researchers at Oregon State University discovered that xanthohumol, a component in hops, has the ability to improve learning and cognitive function, as well as higher thinking in young mice. Granted, the study needs additional research but luckily, Oregon State isn’t the only one jumping on the xanthohumol bandwagon when noticing the bountiful advantages of xanthohumol. Researcher Jianguo Fang and colleagues found, in their study, that the flavoid protected neuronal cells, thus possibly reducing the time in which brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s,

cripple their victim. The benefits of xanthohumol isn’t even a new thing --- studies have consistently shown that it helps fight inflammation and cardiovascular disease. In fact, in a British study, a pint a day kept the doctor away for moderate beer drinkers that reduced their risk of corony heart disease by 24.7 perecent. It’s not as if we need any further justification for indulging in our favorite brew, even if our livers take a serious hit a handful of times, but why not make ourselves feel more health conscious that we may be? For instance, I hate milk. I think I always have. The concept grosses me out and I gag at the sight of a milk mustache. If you feel similarly, there is good news! The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture has reported that beer is hearty in dietary silicon, which is an important ingredient for increasing bone mineral density. So, don’t let anyone tell you it’s unacceptable to take swigs out of your growler jug in the same way folks do with a gallon of milk. Healthy bones for all!

Healthy-ish Beers

anthohumol is found in any beer that is produced with hops, but the amount is scant and probably not enough to get the full benefit. While scientists continue to research and brew beer loaded with this wonder plant extract, we’ve listed alternatives for you to try.

New Plant 3R Raspberry Ale Packed with antioxidants from real fruit puree, this beer is not only tasty, but gluten free too. Abita Purple Haze also uses raspberries, but isn’t gluten free.

Magic Hat #9 Not Quite Pale Ale This beer is made with apricots, which are rich in iron, regulate cell growth and strengthen your immune system.

(Most) Any Wheat-Heavy Beer This is especially helpful if you’re a runner or a Cross Fitter, as a German study has shown that wheat beer helps fight off muscle inflammation.

English Real Ale These brews don’t filter out the vitamin B, leaving you more hydrated and less likely to extreme a severe hangover.

On the growl: world of beer

orld of Beer is exactly as you would expect from its name alone. Framed posters and other artifacts decorate the walls to give it a genuine sports bar feel. TVs situated above the bar allow patrons to enjoy the abundance of beer choices World of Beer has to offer, all while catching up on the biggest sporting event. Tasty food trucks are parked right outside on busier nights, so you can indulge in decadent creations that complement the experience. The place lives up to its name with at least 48 beers on draught, all of which can find a home in your growler, even if the growler isn’t from World of Beer. Don’t have a growler? World of Beer offers 64-ounce growlers and prices to fill it will vary depending on the price of the draft. If the overwhelming amount of beers available intimidates you, ask the bartender to make recommendations. (There aren’t any snobs, just people who really want you to love your beer!) According to Jim Beatty, general manager of the Brewery District location, the most popular beers right now are Barley’s Blood Thirst Wheat with citrus tones from blood oranges, Jackie O’s New Growth IPA that is brewed with lemon balm and blue spruce tips, and Rivertown Death, a blend of dark malts paired with ghost chili peppers. Keep going back to try other beers because what’s in now, won’t be in next week, as beers rotate daily. World of Beer is located at 503 S. Front St. in the Brewery District, and 3934 Townsfair Way at Easton Town Center. Oh, and did we mention a World of Beer will be making its way to campus later this year? Get ready.

workout facility that overlooks the intersection of High and Woodruff. This is great because since everyone will be able to see you elliptical’ing you toosh off, you won’t have to post pictures on Instagram every time you exercise!

7. Complementary Starbucks coffee bar ... Speaks for itself.

When asked when they would like to be 100 percent completed with the View on High, Dussault replied, “Yesterday.” There are some finishing touches that need to be put on the luxury complex but even in its unfinished state, I can guarantee that the individuals who are lucky enough to have snagged a space will not be disappointed. Also, look for the Wendy’s beneath the View on High to open up before the end of the month.

FROM RUBY WITH LOVE

Can I buy you a drink? how about #no

ventually this shitty “spring” weather will end and all of our favorite bars will throw open the doors to the patio and it will be time for day drinking in the sunlight. Are you excited? I am. Nothing, and I mean nothing, makes me happier than sitting on a patio in all of my hipster glory sipping a whiskey rocks. Mostly with my friends, sometimes with a dude, but either way give me sunshine and a strawberry marg and I am one happy lady. Any kind of drink really, I’m not picky. What I do not like, is when I am trying to have a conversation with someone and some random creep comes over and interrupts with some bullshit pick up line. I’ve been thinking about how to avoid these awkward encounters because frankly I don’t give a shit if you want to buy me a drink. I can buy myself a drink, and if I’m interested I will approach you. So, here are some ways I’ve come up with to get you out of the awkward encounters you don’t want to be a part of. First of all if someone is going to offer you a drink, my number one go to is to tell him or her you are the DD. Obviously if you are already holding a drink I wouldn’t suggest this. When I was bartending guys would ask for my number all the time, or compliment me. At the time I did legitimately have a boyfriend but even if I didn’t I would have said I did. When guys would bring something up I would casually be like ‘oh my boyfriend loves that too…’ blah blah blah boyfriend. Just saying boyfriend/girlfriend/engaged whatever tends to turn someone off real quick. If they don’t take the hint at first just keep bringing it up. One guy that was probably old enough to be my father offered to take me to some foreign country and I was like oh for sure as long as my boyfriend can come.

He laughed it off but he didn’t bother me again. The best thing to do if you happen to be at a house party where you don’t know too many people outside of the friends you came with, have a signal. No I don’t mean like blast the Bat signal on the wall or something, but come up with a hand gesture or phrase. Flip your hair, wave to no one like your bestie just walked in or something so someone can come to your rescue. Works every time. People do not want to hear about your weird interest or family plans. If someone is looking for a one nighter and you just are not interested and can’t seem to get him or her to take the hint, talk about the weirdest thing you can think of. Tell them how many kids you want, what kind of mini van you daydream about, or whatever. I have a strange fascination with serial killers, and let me tell you, I know a lot of weird facts that no one should know. No one wants to take home the girl who wants to talk about crime scenes. The last piece of advice I can give if you are encountering a stage 5 clinger is act exactly like them but in an ever more dramatic way. Get their number and text them immediately, follow them around, or randomly show up next to them and start talking to the people they are talking too. Keep in mind if you go this route, most of the other prospects in the bar may notice, so you might be going home solo after all. If you strike out at one place, there is always Park Street, who doesn’t love grinding on underage strangers to bad DJs? #Gross. Stay away from the weirdos, Ruby
