The Ohio State community will wish the Ohio Union a “happy birthday” Tuesday with a variety of events to celebrate the one-year anniversary of OSU’s $118 million student union.

The day will include a literal hug of the building, in which an anticipated 1,000 students will gather in the Performance Hall of the building then wrap around the Union to embrace the building, according to an e-mail to OUAB members from Katie Krajny, coordinator of student involvement at the Union. The hug will take place at about 4:15 p.m., with people meeting for an informational meeting 30 minutes beforehand.

There will be a countdown to the anniversary beginning at 11:30 a.m. A balloon drop will follow at noon with a free cake reception for attendees. The Union ofÿ cially opened at noon on March 29, 2010, when the ribbons were cut and the doors were opened.

At 1 p.m., the Union is unveiling and dedicating a stained-glass window featuring the faces of OSU students, faculty and staff.

The Union is encouraging students to partici-pate in as many events as they please and sent out an invitation for a special dinner for students, The

OSU futbol tournament not just for kicksERIN MYERSLantern [email protected]

As weather warms and students swarm the Oval, Frisbees, bikes and soccer balls will crowd the green space. This spring, however, one group of students will play with a different kind of soccer ball: a United Nations-blue, all-terrain “futbol.”

One World Futbol, an emerging company launched in July 2010 during the World Cup and based out of Oakland, Calif., is manufacturing what it calls the most durable soccer ball on the market. These “futbols” are made of cross-linked, closed-cell foam, similar to the material from which Crocs shoes are made. They are produced in Canada and require no hand stitching, unlike standard soccer balls.

“For every ball someone buys, we donate one to a group using sports to work with kids in harsh conditions,” said Eric Frothingham, project-managing director for One World Futbol.

Jay Nims, a fourth-year in anthropology, helped distribute soccer balls for the One World Futbol Project in Hohoe, Ghana, during Autumn Quarter.

Nims, myself and six other college students traveled to Christ Village Orphan-age to volunteer for a week in September while on Semester at Sea, a University of Virginia-sponsered study abroad program. During our time at the orphanage, we taught English to a group of 8-year-old children and donated a special soccer ball from One World Futbol for the orphanage to enjoy.

“Watching the kids play with the soccer ball we brought along was a highlight of my trip. … It seemed to bring a lot of joy to the children; many of them had never played with a real soccer ball,” Nims said. “They were exhausted after two hours of continuous play.”

The energy of the Ghanian people was second to none. I am thankful for the chance to spend time with these precious children. Eventually, I plan to travel back and see the progress of the orphanage and hope to ÿ nd the futbol still in play.

We are working with fellow students to promote the One World Futbol Project on Ohio State’s campus through a soccer tournament in the spring.

“The tournament would raise money to send more soccer balls to children worldwide,” Nims said.

Frothingham said One World Futbol Project’s main goal is to positively impact the lives of children around the world living in harsh conditions.

After college, grads choose: cubicle or continue classes?LAUREN BROWNLantern [email protected]

Every year, thousands of seniors graduate from Ohio State with a diploma in hand and doubt in their minds.

After ÿ nishing their undergraduate degrees, new alumni are faced with the dilemma of entering the “real world” either through a job or pursuing a gradu-ate degree.

To work or not to work? That’s the multi-thousand-dollar question.

“It depends,” said Tara Cavo, an OSU graduate student and counselor at Career Connection in The Younkin Success Center. “It really depends on the individual and the ÿ eld that you’re going into.”

Cyndi Freeman, the director of graduate school recruitment and diversity initiatives at OSU, had a more direct answer for students debating whether to go to graduate school.

“Graduate school only beneÿ ts you if you know what you want to do,” Freeman said. “Graduate school cannot be a default.”

Out of the nearly 64,000 students at OSU, almost 11,000 are graduate students and about 3,300 are professional students, according to an OSU-provided statistical summary released last fall.

“How many freshmen psychology majors do you know?” Freeman said. “The average Ph.D. program takes 10 to 12 students in psychology.”

Freeman said many students make the mistake of thinking their graduate lifestyle will be the same as their undergraduate lifestyle.

Intramural sports spring back into actionADAM HAWKINSSenior Lantern [email protected]

Spring quarter has started and thus, a new round of intramural sports has begun with a new option.

Registration for ice hockey and slow-pitch softball were held Monday starting at 7 a.m. By 6:45 a.m., the line to sign up stretched through the lobby of the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion and out the door into the 23-degree weather, according to accuweather.com.

The majority of the students waiting in line were there for softball, and most thought they would beat the crowd. The ÿ rst person to sign up was a student who arrived at 5:30 a.m., said Bonnie Mitchell, Ohio State’s intramural program coordinator.

“It was his personal best,” she said. “He was pretty proud of it, which is fun. We see him every quarter and he’s usually the ÿ rst person in line.”

Other students, however, waited until the afternoon to register for their sport of choice.

Dexter Boggs, a fourth-year in biology, did not cite the early time for signup as his reason for waiting to register for slow pitch softball.

“Class,” he said. “In between classes.”Mitchell said once students arrive, they are given registration cards

to provide team and contact information to help the department of recreational sports ÿ nd the participants in their database. Payment for the sports is also collected at sign up.

The cost varies based on the sport the student wants to sign up for. Softball registration costs anywhere from $10 as an individual to $125 for a team. Ice hockey is a $35 fee per individual.

There was a wait for signup, but Mitchell said the line moved fairly quickly.

“It’s gonna sound really slow, I think usually the average wait was about an hour,” she said. “But from beginning to end, inputting each individual, not a bad rate for us.”

Marshal Carpenter, a fourth-year in operations management and employee of OSU recreational sports, arrived at McCorkle at 6:30 a.m. and spent the day signing students up.

“Early on, we had lines out the door,” he said. “We opened the doors at 6:40 and ÿ nished the line at about 9:30.”

After 9:30 a.m., he said there were only about ÿ ve to 10 people registering at a time and he expects it to stay that way on Tuesday, when registration for the remaining sports begins.

This quarter, there is a new program being offered for the ÿ rst time.“We are going to do like a skills competition day,” Mitchell said. In the skills competition, participants will take part in activities similar

to those professional athletes do, such as bench press, shuttle run, vertical jump, 40-yard-dash and others.

She said there is also another chess tournament being offered this spring based on Winter Quarter’s successful tournament.

“It’s nice to see something like that take off,” Mitchell said. “It’s not your typical sport; it’s more of an event or activity or game, but it’s something the students want, so we’ll provide it if we can.”

Mitchell said there is high demand on the OSU campus for intramu-ral sports. Some sports ÿ ll up in a short amount of time.

“I think indoor soccer ÿ lled up in two hours last quarter,” she said. “Flag football ÿ lled up really quick in the fall; I think we were almost full by the end of the day on Monday, the ÿ rst day of registration.”

Boggs said he has participated in intramural sports previously and he has always enjoyed his experience.

“It’s a fun, team sport, good way to get outside in the spring,” he said of softball.

Registration for softball continues through the week and ice hockey registration is offered until the individual players are put into a draft on Wednesday and Thursday. Carpenter said both sports are ÿ lling up and that it is important to sign up early.

Registration for the other sports, including baseball, sand volley-ball, fast pitch softball, team tennis, 4-on-4 ° ag football, ultimate disc and soccer began at 7 a.m. Tuesday and will continue through Friday. Students are also able to sign up this week for small tournaments such as golf, chess and the skills competition.

OSU student, pageant queen more than a pretty faceSARAH PFLEDDERERSenior Lantern reporterpfl [email protected]

For Cayla Hellwarth, pageants are about more than styling her blonde hair and parading around on stage in a bathing suit or glisten-ing gown. It is an opportunity to online shop and most importantly, to compete for scholarship money.

Hellwarth, from Celina, Ohio, is a second-year in marketing and international business at Ohio State. She was also Miss Lake Festival in 2009 and Miss West Central Ohio in 2010, titles that granted her an opportunity to compete for the crown of Miss Ohio in 2010 and for a second time this June.

Miss Ohio is a statewide pageant between 25 Ohio pageant queens ages 17-24 and is a part of the Miss America program. Miss Ohio contestants must ÿ rst win a local competition, such as Miss Lake Festi-val or Miss West Central Ohio, to compete to represent their state.

If crowned Miss Ohio, the contestant automatically represents her state in Miss America.

“A woman may compete at the state level more than once, but may only compete in the national Miss America competition one time,” according to the Miss America website.

Hellwarth participated in her ÿ rst pageant when she was 18 in an effort to earn scholarship money at Miss Lake Festival in Mercer County, Ohio.

The rookie was crowned Miss Lake Festival and awarded $4,800, qualifying her to compete in Miss Ohio in June 2010. She did not have any extensive duties with the title, but was required to attend events at the Lake Festival.

Like most pageants, Miss Lake Festival required contestants to promote a “platform” in its preliminaries. Hellwarth chose to promote the American Red Cross.

Preliminaries also include a swimsuit competition, evening wear, talent, an onstage question-and-answer portion and an interview with judges, Hellwarth said.

Choosing a talent wasn’t difÿ cult for Hellwarth as she has been singing since she was 4 years old. She also took voice lessons in sixth grade.

Her father, Dan Hellwarth, a veterinarian and OSU alumnus, is also a vocalist and sang in the Men’s Glee Club while at OSU.

Hellwarth sings “Gira Con Me” by Josh Groban in Italian for her talent, although she doesn’t speak the language.

“I just kind of learn it (the song) how you learn every other word. The hard part is grasping the meaning of the song,” she said, adding that she is enrolled in Italian at OSU.

Talent is her favorite portion of the competition, she said. Cayla’s second favorite portion is the swimsuit round.

“You get that upbeat song and just go out there and have fun with it,” she said.

In the swimsuit competition, judges award points partly on physical ÿ tness, but more on conÿ dence, Cayla said.

Aside from being her daughter’s support system, Dawn Hellwarth, her mother, said she does most of Cayla’s pageant shopping for her online.

“We try to ÿ nd gowns from other pageant girls to save expenses since we are trying to get scholarship money,” Dawn said.

Cayla and her mom found her Miss Ohio evening gown on Craigslist. “The girl only wore it once,” Cayla said.

Miss Ohio spans ÿ ve days with four days of preliminaries. Finals are held on a Saturday where the top 10 ÿ nalists are announced.

“The way we hope to do that is by supporting the work of thousands of relief and humanitarian groups around the world, using sport as a vehicle for health, development and peace by providing a unique ball that will survive the non-ÿ eld conditions in which they operate,” Frothingham said.

The idea for the One World Futbol Project came about when founder Tim Jahnigen saw a video that involved Darfur refugee children kicking around a ball made of twine and decided to come up with a solution – a soccer ball that could be used in all sorts of harsh conditions and never de° ate.

“Jahnigen came up with a design for the ball and was able to get funding for a prototype from the musician Sting. Then a small group came together to pursue ways of getting these balls to places where they can make a difference,” Frothingham said.

There are a lot of different ways balls are being distributed. Many involve groups who will be travel-ing for service projects in different countries carrying purchased or donated balls with them. One World Futbol works with groups such as Semester at Sea who bring One World Futbols for donation to service projects they visit around the world.

“Since shipping overseas can be a challenge, we seek out people willing and able to carry balls

with them,” Frothingham said. “We’re starting to work with a group called ‘Roadie Relief’ that is going to get One World Futbols included in the shipping containers of equipment to support rock music tours.”

A small number of balls were taken to South Africa with a U2 tour and to South America with a Shakira tour, Frothingham said.

“We don’t claim that the ball is indestructible – as a matter of fact, with the help of an excited chimpanzee, we’ve seen that the ball can indeed be destroyed by a determined animal with strong hands and big incisors. However, we’ve run the ball over with a truck and had it return to round and playable condition,” Frothingham said. “Most importantly, we’ve gotten reports that the initial prototypes that were given to a refugee camp in Rwanda are still all in play more than a year later, where regular soccer balls tend to last no more than a week,” Frothingham said.

The One World ball sells for $39.50. The price includes the purchase of a second ball that is donated through the “Buy One, Give One” charitable model of the project.

“We’re hoping that [the ball] becomes a source of connection and commonality for people in the states and around the world – a unique ball that endures harsh conditions and treatment and symbolizes the enduring importance of play for better lives and a better world,” Frothingham said.

“There’s a lot more to graduate school than grades on the paper,” said Edwin Lee, a doctoral student in electrical engineering. “There’s extra responsibility.”

Freeman agreed with Lee. She said graduate students are expected to put in roughly 36 hours of work to support the 12 hours they spend in class.

Despite a weakened economy, Cavo said more students are trying their luck in the job market rather than going to graduate school.

“I think it’s important to just take this break and work,” said Devin Graham, an OSU alumna who currently works in human resources at Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. in Columbus, Ohio.

Graham said she plans to return to gradu-ate school after gaining some experience in the workforce.

“They don’t take people with no work experience in the MBA program,” Graham said. “I know that I’ll go back.”

Like Graham, many students vow to return to graduate school, but some ÿ nd it hard to make the transition back to a student lifestyle after spending time in the workforce.

“It depends on the conviction of the individual,” Freeman said. “It’s really hard to go back to living like a student.”

Cavo agreed and said people returning to school forget how hectic student life can be once they create a routine in the workforce.

“You get used to the income,” Cavo said. “When you get used to being a student again, you always have stuff hanging over your head.”

Lee said he struggled with his decision of continuing the student lifestyle when he had the opportunity to make more money with a job.

“It’s always hard for engineering students because we can leave undergrad and get a $50,000-a-year job,” Lee said.

Ultimately, Lee decided to go to graduate school because he said it was best for his future. Both Freeman and Cavo advise students to thoroughly research graduate schools before committing to a program.

“When you’re looking for a graduate school, it’s like you’re taking another class,” Freeman said.

Cavo advises prospective graduate students to look at all the factors when making the decision to pursue a graduate degree.

Cavo also said gaining work experience could be beneÿ cial to prospective graduate students who do not have a strong academic record.

“I deÿ nitely thought I was more ready to go into the workforce,” Graham said. “If I work now, I’ll be able to decide what to do later.”

Graham said she didn’t want to rush her decisions about entering graduate school. She said the planning and organizational skills she applies at her job would help her succeed when she returns to graduate school.

“When I decide to go back, I would have a concrete plan,” Graham said.

Although it may be beneÿ cial to remain in the school mindset, Cavo said students should consider partners, the possibility of relocating and loan responsibilities in their decision.

“Make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and not trying to put off the anxiety of entering into the real world,” Cavo said.

In “COTA adds routes, aims to curb confusion,” The Lantern reported that OSU students, faculty and staff can ride COTA free with a valid BuckID. In fact, faculty and staff cannot ride COTA for free and are not offered the option to pay the quarterly $9 COTA bus service fee that students pay in their tuition.

Ohio Union Anniversary Dinner. The invitation said a dinner and dessert buffet will be speciÿ cally for students who signed up ahead of time.

The dinner is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. and last for about two hours.

Ben Wallace, a ÿ fth-year in biology and pre-medicine, said his experiences with the Union have been mostly positive. Wallace is the president

of two student organizations: Buckeye Barbeque Qlub and Buckeyes Give Back.

“The Union is a great place for our organizations to meet, instead of trying to hang out at our house,” Wallace said.

Wallace did say, however, that he wished the policy on outside food was different. Wallace said the Union did not allow outside food for some of his events. He said all food on Union premises has to be purchased through the Union.

The Ohio Union policy states “all food and bever-age services in and around the Ohio Union are to be provided by Catering 1870 in the Ohio Union or Catering 101.”

“It is quite a production,” Dawn said. “There is a huge crowd with the most talented girls and locals across the state competing.”

Cayla was not recognized in the top 10 last year, but received two non-ÿ nalist awards for talent and classical talent awarding her $900.

After her defeat she went after another crown at Miss West Central Ohio in August 2010.

“Once you get in it you’re kind of stuck,” Cayla said. “You get in the competition mode.”

The Miss West Central Ohio is a pageant between Allen, Auglaize, Deÿ ance, Henry, Hardin, Logan, Mercer, Paulding, Putnam, Wood and Van Wert counties.

She snatched the Miss West Central Ohio crown and was awarded $1,000, qualifying her to compete for the title of Miss Ohio for a second time. Miss West Central Ohio does

not have any strict expectations or duties, she said.

“What you do for the year is what you put into it,” Cayla said. She made an effort to promote her American Red Cross platform sponsoring a few singing competitions to fundraise for the organization and also working at blood drives.

Cayla said she thinks having previous experience at Miss Ohio will help her prepare for the competition in June because she knows what to expect.

Cayla said she has been working out, eating healthy and preparing for her inter-view portion. Dawn said she conducts mock interviews with Cayla at home, quizzing her on current events.

“They can ask you anything and it’s the ÿ rst impression judges have on you, so you want them to remember you,” Cayla said.

Cayla is an active member of Block-O and was recently chosen as director of membership for the organization. She is also a member of the American Red Cross Club in conjunction with her pageant platform.

“It’s busy with classes and driving home

two hours for appearances, but it’s been nice because it teaches me how to balance my time,” Cayla said.

Cayla’s peers notice her ability to juggle a hectic schedule.

“Cayla handles her time very well,” said Michael Cozzi, a fourth-year in sports and leisure studies and 2010 football coordinator of Block-O.

Cozzi said Cayla was elected as member-ship director because the position needs someone who is excited and reaches out to others.

“I never had any thought of being in pageants,” Cayla said.

Cayla said that in high school, she was “the jock type,” since she played soccer and basketball and ran track, but she said now she is “the girly type.”

Cayla intends to participate in pageants for the “long run” and is already imagining the possibility of running for Miss America, if crowned Miss Ohio.

“It would open so many opportunities,” she said.

Awkward Silence, Bad Genetics, Pudding-Thank-You, and The Immediate Gratification Players are all coming to Ohio State this weekend for one reason: Bellwether.

The Bellwether Improv Festival is the largest college improvisation comedy festival in the Midwest, said Nate Varrone of 8th Floor Improv, an improv group at Ohio State comprised of OSU students. The long-form style of improv chooses a word or inspiration and then creates 20 minutes to an hour of improv sketch comedy, Varrone said.

The festival will be held this weekend, starting at 6 p.m. in the Ohio Union’s US Bank Conference Theatre. Nine collegiate and three professional improv groups and two professional groups will perform, along with 8th Floor Improv.

The goal of the festival is to build the community and expose students to the unique art of long-form improv, Varrone said.

“I think Ohio State is a unique place to have an awesome improv festival, and I think it’s been missing it for a few years,” he said.

After traveling to various festivals and college campuses, 8th Floor Improv has invited the top improv groups from around the country to showcase their unique styles and talents, Varrone said.

“We really want a festival that’s worth hosting,” Varrone said. “We only want the best long-form (improv) teams. … We picked out the groups that we know are good and can put on a great show.”

Ben Smith, leader of Harvard University’s The Immediate Gratification Players, said that the audience should expect a unique, high-energy performance from the group while wearing their trademark red and yellow ties.

“With every show, the audience and perform-ers have an unspoken agreement that you’re along

for this ride, and no one knows where it’s going to go,” Smith said. “Once you start, it’s hard to want to stop.”

One of Chicago’s professional teams, Pudding-Thank-You, is coming back to OSU to perform for a third time. Founder Ryan Patrick Dolan said that Bellwether is a great way for his group to bring the fun from Chicago to a different audience.

“We play silly and loose, and we’re ridiculous, but we actually take it very seriously,” Dolan said. “I think the audience enjoys having fun. We have a great time on stage, and it shows.”

Varrone said that improv requires both the performers and audience members to build the experience together.

“Anything can happen. Anything you say is true. If I say there is a rocket ship about to explode, then there is a rocket ship about to explode,” Varrone said.

Chris Brown’s public relations front took another hit last Tuesday when the R&B star smashed a dressing room window after he was questioned about his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna on “Good Morning America.” Or, at least, analysts tell us that the incident will hurt Brown’s image. I might argue that this outburst might cement Brown’s bad-boy attitude and actually benefit him in the long run.

Before we continue, let me clarify that I certainly do not condone violence towards women, and I don’t think that specific incident was anything but harmful for Brown’s career. But what is he supposed to do, pretend he’s actually the world’s nicest guy who made one dumb mistake? He’s apologized, and the public has made clear that’s not going to get him off the hook.

The solution is to release an album and throw a chair through

a window, in Brown’s case. The listening public loves people with bad reputations. That is to say, we love their reputations, if not the people themselves. Two celebrities showed in the last year just how much they stood to gain by being assholes.

Most recently, Charlie Sheen lit up Twitter and search engines thanks to his on-air rants against

“Two and a Half Men” producer Chuck Lorre and his claims of having “tiger blood,” among other bizarre statements.

If I were to call my boss incompetent, tell my friends that I was “dia-winning” instead of diabetic, and add a second girlfriend, I would be in a world of hurt. Sheen, however, is reaping the benefits of his self-central-ization. For the time being, he’s lost the more than $2 million an episode he was making, but he’s already scheduled a speak-ing tour, and you can’t tell me that new roles, book deals and, hopefully, a video game series won’t come soon after.

The second major benefac-tor of being a self-admitted “douchebag” is Kanye West. West has always been at the center of ill-advised actions.

His actions during the latter event led critics to wonder whether he had finally gone too far. Had he finally pushed the

limits of how much forgiveness a good song would merit? The answer of course, was no. If anything, his stage-storming at the VMAs was one of the best publicity stunts ever.

“My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” became the most acclaimed album of 2010, and it contained a grand total of zero apologies. West toasted his own egomania with a deft combina-tion of clever beats and rhymes. It was like Michael Jordan in the clutch; West needed his shot to be perfect or the game was over. Fans and critics unconsciously admitted that they loved him for being unlovable.

It’d be nice if the end result was always a good one for the artist. All too often celebrities drown in the personalities that fans come to expect.

I’m a huge fan of the grunge bands that came out of Seattle in the early ‘90s. Growing up, I loved Soundgarden and Nirvana,

but I especially appreciated the particularly dark music of Alice in Chains.

Alice’s first two albums, “Facelift” and the critically beloved “Dirt,” were diaries in which vocalist Layne Staley and guitarist Jerry Cantrell wrote about the overwhelming love/hate relationship they had with heroin. Tracks like “We Die Young” sum the band up. By the time I had started listening to the band, Staley was dead of an overdose. He died in 2002, and weighed only 86 pounds when he was buried.

When I listen to “Hate To Feel,” I wonder if I’m at all to blame for the deaths of people like Staley. Supposing I was 22 in 1991, would I be giving them money to fuel their habits by buying the album? Would I be applauding their bad behavior just by enjoying the music?

Cantrell fortunately sought help, and he’s now on tour with

a reassembled version of Alice in Chains. The group, drug-free, released an album in 2009. But the new album is leagues away from the content the band produced when heroin was its muse.

I truly and sincerely hate to admit that I liked one of my favorite bands best when it was in the grasp of narcotics. I wish Sheen could be funny without being a lunatic and I wish West could be just as talented in the studio without being an egoma-niac. I would never trade a man’s life for a good song.

So Chris, go to the club, have a few drinks and pick up as many women as possible (just don’t hit them). It might not make you the most upstanding human being, but it’s better than trying to fake being a cookie-cutter Christian for our sake. After all, to quote another superstar, you were born this way.

Northern Ohio is known for the Great Lakes, Cavaliers and ... surfing?

It might sound like a joke, but throughout much of the year, you can find a small group of die-hard surfers in Lake Erie, enjoying nature and hanging 10.

A project that began in 2001, “Out Of Place” is a film that documents a community of surfers in Cleveland.

The film is making its Columbus premiere at the Gateway Film Center at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Directors Scott Ditzenberger and Darrin McDonald will be holding a question and answer session after the showing, preceding a post-screening party.

Ditzenberger and McDonald debuted the film in 2009 to portray the spirit and culture that surrounds surfing in Cleveland.

“The film embodies the spirit, preservation and the pursuit of life outside the mainstream,” according to the “Out Of Place” website.

The easygoing lifestyle of “Out Of Place” is something Kurt Vincent, editor and producer of the film, thinks everyone can take away from the seeing the film.

“It’s so cliché, but really it’s about making the most of it and not being afraid to diverge from the normal routine,” Vincent said.

Ditzenberger and McDonald could not be reached for comment.

Homage, a vintage apparel store, and Surf Ohio are co-hosting the premiere.

Homage will be introducing their new Surf Ohio line of apparel and accessories; everything from beach towels and tote bags to eco-friendly packaged DVDs of the film.

The founder of Surf Ohio, Ron Kaplan, will be present to unveil the 2011 Olentangy Masters Surfing Classic T-shirt line.

Ryan Vesler, owner of Homage, said the film is more about living in the moment and kicking back with friends.

“It’s more of a lifestyle,” Vesler said. “It’s about being outside and enjoying nature and having an easygoing spirit.”

The film received the Viewer’s Choice Best Feature award at the New York Surf Film Festival.

It has also been chosen as an Official Selection at various film festivals including the Honolulu Surf Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival and Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

As a partner of the event, tickets to the Wexner Center’s “Off the Grid” party will also be avail-able . The fundraising event benefits the Wexner’s education program and is on April 30, said Jerry Dannemiller, director of marketing and communi-cation for the Wexner Center.

The essence of “Out Of Place” is something that Vesler believes will speak to college students as well.

“It isn’t just for surfers,” Vesler said. “Ohio is naturally beautiful and we have a lot of really cool nature-related things.”

Tickets for the screening are $5 for students and can be purchased at the Gateway Film Center box office.

No basketball player had ever won four Big Ten Player of the Year awards before Jantel Lavender.

The 6-foot-4 Cleveland native ended what might be the most productive career the Ohio State women’s basketball program ever has seen. Before she received her diploma on March 20, she was busy rewriting both school and conference record books.

Lavender holds OSU records in points (2,818), rebounds (1,422), ÿ eld goals made (1,142), ÿ eld goals attempted (2,156), consecutive games started (135), single-season points (769 in 2009–10), single-season rebounds (374 in 2008–09) and was the ÿ rst player to score 2,000 career points (in her junior season).

In her ÿ nal game in scarlet and gray on Saturday, Laven-der’s 19-point performance capped a career in which she never registered fewer than 10 points in a game. She holds the NCAA record for most double-digit scoring performances in history, with 136.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to coach six All-American centers,” coach Jim Foster said. “The numbers Jantel put up in her career speak for themselves — (she was a) model of consistency, day in and day out.”

Aside from holding records, Lavender was the backbone of a team that excelled in a halfcourt offense because of its ability to play from the inside out. Her effectiveness in the post

Before Friday’s Sweet 16 game against Kentucky, condi-tions were ripe for the Ohio State men’s basketball to overtake football as the most popular sport on campus.

The movement to push men’s hoops to the top of the OSU sporting landscape suffered a setback after the overall top-seeded Buckeyes lost, 62-60, to fourth-seeded Kentucky after guard Brandon Knight hit a go-ahead jumper for the Wildcats with 5.4 seconds to play.

Do not be deterred, though, Buckeye fans.

The loss might cause some of you to bury your basketball jerseys and “Zubaz” pants deep in your closets until next season. That is a reasonable reaction after watching William Buford clank a potentially game-winning 3-point shot off the front of the rim as time expired against Kentucky.

Fans who attended the Buckeyes’ elimination in Newark, N.J., and were subjected to the jeers of New Yorkers and Kentuckians following the loss also have good reason to recoil temporarily from supporting the basketball team.

These memories are painful, and the typical knee-jerk reaction to Buckeye basketball’s postsea-son disappointments is for fans to turn their attention back to OSU football, which will play its spring game April 23.

After the grieving period eases, Buckeye fans should re-evaluate the basketball team’s standing in OSU’s athletic hierar-chy — and elevate it.

Failure to advance to the Elite Eight aside, the 2010–11 Buckeyes won 34 games, the second most in a season in program history. OSU also claimed both the regular-season and conference titles.

By virtue of the team’s 63-11 record over the past two seasons, back-to-back appear-ances in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 and a trip to the 2007 NCAA Championship Game against Florida, fans are witness-ing a period of immense success.

Basketball coach Thad Matta even referred to the modern-day Buckeyes as a “powerhouse” in a March 17 press conference.

“I love where the program is,” Matta said. “That was the goal when we came seven years ago … to build a basketball power-house. I like the position that we’re in.”

If OSU football gets the attention it does because of its elite status, the basketball team’s success should be receiving equal doses of admiration from Buckeye Nation.

Unlike football coach Jim Tressel, Matta has remained in compliance with NCAA regulations.

Buckeye football endured a forgettable 2011 offseason under Tressel’s watch. The NCAA upheld ÿ ve-game suspensions for Terrelle Pryor, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, Mike Adams and Solomon Thomas for receiving improper beneÿ ts. Tressel was ÿ ned $250,000, and will miss the ÿ rst ÿ ve games of the 2011 season for failing to properly report the infractions.

Ohio State junior guard William Buford and freshman forward Jared Sullinger stare ahead during the second half of the Buckeyes’ 68-61 victory against Michigan in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament on March 12.

The Ohio State men’s basketball team’s season came to a disappointing end Friday with a 62-60 loss to No. 4-seeded Kentucky. With no more Buckeye basketball to be played this season, looking to the future is the only option.

Though the season just concluded, much can already be determined about next year’s squad. The team will return two starters, freshman forward Jared Sullinger and junior guard William Buford, assuming they hold true to their stated intentions not to enter the NBA Draft. The Buckeyes also will welcome back freshman point guard Aaron Craft, who was ÿ fth on the team in minutes played, and freshman forward Deshaun Thomas.

Beyond those four seemingly known commodi-ties, the future of OSU basketball becomes less clear.

The starRecently named ÿ rst-team All-American,

Sullinger is arguably the most talented player the Buckeyes will have next season. The 6-foot-9 post player led the team in points and rebounds last season with 17.2 and 10.1 per game, respectively.

“He’s extremely productive. … He commands a lot of respect,” coach Thad Matta said. “He’s a great player.”

The forward also took home Freshman of the Year honors and remains a ÿ nalist for the Naismith Award, given to the nation’s best player. With a year of experience under his belt, Sullinger is expected to excel futher during his sophomore campaign.

Though Jared Sullinger did not meet the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s goal of winning a national championship, he certainly is raking in the individual accolades.

The freshman forward was named an Associated Press ÿ rst-team All-American on Monday, and also won the Freshman of the Year award. This is the second consecutive season that OSU has had a player named to the team, with Evan Turner last season.

Sullinger averaged 17.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season, leading the Buckeyes in both categories. He is the 24th OSU player to earn ÿ rst-team All-American laurels.

But some of his impact could not be measured by his own numbers.

“Just how he affects the game without having the ball, and even when he does have the ball, he draws so much attention that he creates for all of us on the perimeter,” OSU guard Jon Diebler said after Sullinger was named the Big Ten Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player on March 13. “So when you have a guy like that, obviously it makes things easier for us on the perimeter because he’s such a force inside, and the one thing that I love about Jared is how he rebounds.”

Sullinger is the only freshman to earn the honor in a season highlighted by seniors. Seniors BYU guard Jimmer Fredette, Duke guard Nolan Smith and Purdue forward JaJuan Johnson, along with junior Connecticut guard Kemba Walker, join Sullinger as All-Americans.

Sullinger, who remains one of four ÿ nalists for the Naismith Award, given to college basketball’s best player, has vowed to return to OSU for his sophomore season.

front-runner for the Naismith Award next season, regardless of whether he brings home the hardware this year. Sullinger is making sure to put in the work during the offseason.

Following his team’s ÿ nal loss of the season, Sullinger said, “I know I am going to be back in the gym as soon as we get back.”

The veteranAlthough Sullinger likely will be the Buckeye who

receives the most attention, Buford will be the one with the most experience. As a senior, Buford will be the only player on the OSU roster who will start the season with more than one year of program experi-ence. He has three full years in the system.

Besides leadership, Buford brings a shooter’s touch to the 2011–12 squad.

“Will’s an awesome guy,” Craft said. “He’s deÿ nitely willing to take his shots, and he (has) knocked them down.”

Buford shot 44.2 percent from 3-point range this past season, good for the third-best 3-point shoot-ing season in school history. The guard was also second in scoring on the team, with 14.4 points per game. Buford sits at 22nd in school history in points scored, with 1,424. If he maintains this past season’s scoring pace next season, he will ÿ nish fourth.

The engineWith Sullinger expected to score in the post and

Buford expected to score from the outside, Craft will be expected to push the defense and facilitate the offense.

Throughout the season, the freshman point guard was praised for his on-ball defensive abilities. Craft, who averaged a team-high two steals a game, embraces the role of lockdown defender.

“I’ve always just enjoyed doing it, even in AAU. I always had to guard … the team’s best player,” he said. “It’s something I’ve grown into.”

With ÿ fth-year senior forward David Lighty, whom Matta often has called the best defender in college basketball, departing from the program, Craft will be able to take over the role of the team’s best defender.

Besides his defense, Craft will be required to set up the offense from his position. The freshman was fourth in the Big Ten in assists last season, with 4.8 per game.

“I think as you really get to know Aaron, you get to spend time with him, you watch him develop. It’s amazing,” Matta said. “He’s been so steady through-out the course of the year.”

Craft played his best basketball late in the season, logging an OSU-record 15 assists against George Mason in the NCAA Tournament.

The tankThomas came off the bench last season to

average 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in just 14 minutes per game for the Buckeyes. With the depar-ture of wing players Lighty and Jon Diebler, Thomas likely will be a starter next season.

Despite his single-digit scoring average, Thomas scored double ÿ gures 10 times during the season and notched 20 or more points on three occasions.

“I think we’ve seen, throughout the course, that Deshaun can score in bunches,” Matta said. “He’s a very talented player, and he really has a knack … for ÿ nding open areas, ÿ nding the seams.”

Besides providing instant offense, Thomas’ 62 offensive rebounds were good for second on the team. With added minutes next season, expect those numbers to rise.

The unknownCraft and Thomas will likely join Sullinger and

Buford in the starting lineup next year. But determin-ing who will ÿ ll that ÿ fth spot, and how Matta will use his bench, will be more difÿ cult to determine.

The remaining player with any signiÿ cant playing time from this past season is freshman guard Jordan Sibert, who appeared in 25 games and averaged 8.3 minutes a game.

Starting Sibert would create a relatively small starting ÿ ve. Matta has shown a tendency to start multiple post players in the past.

This past season, the coach started the 6-foot-9 Sullinger and 6-foot-8 senior center Dallas Lauder-dale. If he wants to go big again, he seems to have two options: Boston College transfer forward Evan Ravenel and incoming freshman center Amir Williams.

Ravenel averaged just 3.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.5 minutes off the bench when he played for Boston College. Despite the underwhelm-ing numbers, the forward does have a year in the program on his side.

Williams, on the other hand, could become the newest freshman post player to start at OSU. The 6-foot-9 center is the nation’s No. 7 center and No. 73 overall recruit, according to Rivals.com.

Matta, who has often used a short bench, will need to decide how he wants to use the remaining talented players.

Freshman guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. received playing time in blowout victories, and freshman forward J.D. Weatherspoon did the same before being ruled academically ineligible for winter quarter.

Four recruits, including No. 17-ranked point guard and No. 62 overall recruit Shannon Scott, will join Williams in vying for playing time as freshmen.

Regardless of how Matta pieces together the puzzle that is next year’s season, the established pieces and young talent are there. Whichever grouping of players the coach relies on will strive to accomplish the goal that the 2010–11 team could not: a national championship.

Future from 1B

Buford ison track to enter the OSU record books

opened up the ° oor for OSU’s outside shooters.

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt recruited Lavender out of Cleveland Central Catholic High School, and even made an unusual lineup change to compensate for her skills on the block when the two teams squared off on Saturday.

Kelley Cain, a player who had only made 17 starts on the season for the Lady Volun-teers, was called on because Summitt needed her 6-foot-6 frame to slow down the NCAA’s best player. Cain scored 16 points, but only collected two rebounds to Lavender’s 10.

Lavender went to Knoxville,

Tenn., on an ofÿ cial recruiting visit in high school, but said it wasn’t the right ÿ t, despite it being one of the most prestigious programs in college basketball.

“She’s truly one of the best post players that we’ve faced,” Summitt said. “She’s got great skill set. She obviously is very tough-minded, and has done a great job for this Ohio State team and obviously been an impact player throughout her career.”

Lavender’s all-time mark for double-digit scoring perfor-mances is nothing new. Even in high school, she never had a game in which she scored fewer than 10 points.

Foster, a veteran coach of 33 years who’s seen many great players, was in no way surprised at the type of career Lavender put together.

“I thought she would come in and be able to do the things that (former center Jessica) Davenport had done. It’s a great run,” Foster said. “I think probably just the way the league was and what our need was, you have to be a little surprised that she was Player of the Year as a freshman, but I don’t think anything she’s done in the three years since then would surprise you, relative to the Player of the Year deal.”

Lavender was not outwardly emotional about the end of her career after Saturday’s loss. She said she was unsure whether she would ever take time to re° ect on her four years at OSU.

“I haven’t really thought about it yet,” Lavender said, “but I don’t know.”

Foster chimed in, “Maybe at dinner.”

Records from 1B

Lavendermade a recruiting trip to Tennessee

accused of violating NCAA rules during Friday’s game against Kentucky.

Wildcats coach John Calipari left a bread crumb-like trail of violation allegations at previous coaching jobs, at Massachusetts and Memphis.

Unlike Tressel and Calipari, Matta provides fans with a baggage-free, national championship-contending team. A title contender with no investi-gations, infractions or suspensions — what a novel concept.

Matta’s team wins, and it wins the right way.Perhaps the most memorable image to emerge

from this past basketball season was David Lighty’s emotional departure from his ÿ nal game at the Schottenstein Center on March 6. Lighty kneeled to kiss the Block “O” at half-court as he was substi-tuted out of OSU’s 93-65 win against Wisconsin. Fans gave Lighty a standing ovation as he left the court.

That moment revealed the relationship between

Buckeye fans and OSU basketball to be one of ever-increasing admiration and expectations.

The departure of basketball seniors Dallas Lauderdale, Jon Diebler and Lighty could be grounds for some fans to refocus on Buckeye football now that spring has arrived. But the future remains bright for OSU hoops.

Jared Sullinger already has vowed to return for the 2011 season. The freshman will rejoin class-mates Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas, and they will look to defend the Buckeyes’ back-to-back Big Ten Tournament titles.

Make no mistake, Sullinger is also coming back to help the basketball team make another run at the national title.

The basketball team will continue to compete on a national stage in the coming years, and fans will root for it with full conÿ dence that it is adhering to NCAA regulations. With ÿ ve key players — and Tressel — slated to be suspended for ÿ ve games of the 2011 season because of rules violations, will the football team be able to promise either of those things to its fans?

Both programs play special and important roles at this university, but does OSU football still deserve “king of the hill” status in our community?
