Tale of the tape

OSU coach Urban Meyer discussed the game tape controversy with Michigan State Tuesday.

[ a+e ]

Drivers might need to hit the brakes on Lane Avenue between Summit and High streets in the coming months.

After a unanimous decision during a Monday Columbus City Council meeting, an appeal to reduce the speed limit on Lane Avenue will be directed to the Ohio Department of Transportation. The appeal suggests a speed limit reduction from 35 mph to 25 mph between those Summit and High streets in the Ohio State off-campus area.

The appeal was spurred by Undergraduate Student Government whose members attended a Pedestrian and Transportation Commission meeting in 2011. They had expressed their concerns about the safety in the University District, said John Ivanic, communications director for Columbus City Council.

Transportation Services within the Department of Public Service addressed these concerns and reviewed the crash data on Lane Avenue between Summit and High streets from 2009-2011.

According to March 13 meeting minutes, the Columbus Transportation and Pedestrian Commission decided to pursue a speed limit reduction in that area. “We’re always interested in partnering with OSU students to make the roads safer,� said Columbus City Council member and Public Service and Transportation Committee Chair Eileen Paley.

Cars fill Lane Avenue Tuesday evening. During a Monday Columbus CIty Council meeting, an appeal to reduce the speed limit on Lane Anvenue between Summit and High streets was passed.

Results of the study showed the average car speed on this stretch was 29 mph. “So we’re only talking a reduction of 4 mph,�

Ivanic said. “With the road so narrow, the speed limit doesn’t need to be 35 mph.�

When city council is expected receive a response to the appeal is unknown, and requests for comment from the Ohio Department of

Transportation were not immediately returned Tuesday.

The study commenced once the students’ idea was approved by the Columbus Transportation and Pedestrian Commission on March 15. It concluded that “25 miles per hour is reasonable and safe under

liz young Lantern reporter young.1693@osu.edu Forcible sex offenses on campus have more than doubled since 2010, while burglaries and robberies have dropped, according to Ohio State’s 2012 annual security and fire safety report.

Forcible sex offense reports rose to 28 cases in 2011, an increase from 21 documented cases in 2009 and 12 in 2010, according to the report.

Forcible sex offenses are defined by the F.B.I. as rape and attempt, forcible fondling, forcible sodomy and sexual assault with an object.

The increase might be a result of more accurate reporting, said OSU Deputy Chief of Police Richard Morman.

“A few years ago, there was a big increase in the same category because some of the (university) counselors were not reporting that information to us,� Morman said. “If it happened on campus, we need to include it.�

In fact, Morman said he thinks 2010 was the unusual year. “We weren’t sure that we were getting as many reported as we should be,� Morman said. “2011 seems more consistent.�

According to university police records, six sexual impositions have been reported in 2012, compared to 11 in 2011 and six in 2010. Ohio Law defines sexual imposition as sexual contact in which the offender knows it will upset the victim, the victim is unaware of the contact or unable to “control the offender,� the victim is between 13 and 16 years old and the offender is older than 18, or the offender

Six reported cases of rape in 2012 have been documented in university police records, compared to six in 2011 and three in 2010.

There were also nine weapon law violations leading to arrests on campus, a rise compared to the three and two in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Drug law violations increased to 63 arrests in 2011 and 20 in 2010. Alcohol law violation arrests fell to 252 arrests in 2011 from 345 in 2010.

The $7.7M renovation project on the Dodridge Street Bridge has been delayed by excessive rain.

The nearly $8 million construction project to revamp the Dodridge Street Bridge that goes over the Olentangy River is on budget but not on time.

Construction on the bridge began in August 2011 and was expected to be complete August of this year. Jim Pajk, Franklin County deputy bridge engineer, said the construction on Dodridge Street Bridge, which connects Neil Avenue and Olentangy River Road north of Lane Avenue, is behind schedule because of last year’s rainy fall and winter. “We had a really wet year last year, a lot of rainfall,� said Adam Fowler, project engineer for Franklin County. “Water elevations in the river and rain was (responsible for) much for the delay.�

The Lantern reported in June that Dodridge Street and the Olentangy Trail, which runs under the bridge, were scheduled to re-open in August, but Pajk said he doesn’t expect it to open until late October or early November. “We want the bridge opened just like everybody else,�

Pajk said. “We do everything we can do to meet the deadlines. We’ve just been unfortunate with the weather.�

Pajk also said the roadway and trail have to be open at the same time.

Despite the delay in completion, the project’s budget remains at almost $7.7 million. Pajk said the Ohio Department of Transportation specifications enable weather extensions for the project.

The Dodridge Street Bridge was in need of reconstruction, Pajk said. He said it needed to be completely replaced and parts of the bridge were more than 100 years old.

campus OSU nationally ranked for assisting military students liz young Lantern reporter young.1693@osu.edu Ohio State might be called military friendly, but some student-veterans disagree.

The university has been ranked a Military Friendly School by “G.I. Jobs” magazine for the fourth year in a row. The ranking goes to the top 15 percent of colleges across the country that do the most to accommodate U.S. military students. The list is decided through surveys of more than 12,000 schools.

But some student-veterans don’t think OSU is deserving of that label.

“I haven’t really seen a lot of military friendliness,” said Josh Haller, a second-year in exploration and Iraq War veteran. “Everyone as a whole is pretty military friendly since we were in Iraq, but I haven’t seen (OSU) going above and beyond for military students.”

Haller served in Iraq for 16 months.

Other veterans, though, are happy with what OSU does for its students who have served. “(OSU has) been somewhat flexible with us, the (Veterans Affairs) and everything,” said Michael Monaco, an Army veteran who asked for his branch of service not to be identified. His wife, Erin Monaco, is using his G.I. Bill benefits as a second-year in microbiology. “I do think it’s a military-friendly school. They gave us a lot of leeway with the VA.”

Veterans Affairs is the office in charge of student veteran payments.

OSU recently opened an Office of Military and Veterans Services, which caters specifically to military and veteran students. The office is located in the Student Academic Services Building at 281 W. Lane Ave. The opening was announced in a Sept. 27 university press release.

A military-specific orientation, a conference about teaching veterans and a new veteran-specific university website had already been implemented this year before the new office opened, said Mike Carrell, OSU assistant provost and director of the Office of Military and Veteran Services.

The university does not have an official estimate as to how much the new office cost. A graduate student created the new veterans website for free, and the new physical offices went through minor renovations. There was a slight increase of salaries for those employees moving from part-time to full-time work hours. A new senior veterans benefits specialist position was created and filled by Melissa Boyd from OSU’s student service center, Carrell said.

Even the new student workers in the office are paid by Veterans Affairs and not the university, Carrell said.

But some student-veterans such as Haller said they weren’t even aware the new office had opened, and said they felt out of the loop on what services OSU offers them.

There have been seven bicycle-related traffic accidents on or near Ohio State’s campus this school year, a problem some students think could be solved by adding bike lanes and more racks on campus.

Lindsay Komlanc, spokeswoman for OSU Administration and Planning, said the seven accidents occurred prior to September, and six of those accidents were collisions between bicyclists and vehicles, while one was between a bicyclist and a pedestrian.

However, The Lantern has documented at least seven pedestrian or bicycle related accidents since Aug. 20 on and off campus, at least three of which sent students to the hospital with serious injuries.

OSU President E. Gordon Gee and others think the semester switch, large freshman class of almost 7,200 new students and campus

construction contributed to the spike in accidents at the start of the semester.

“I think it is because of the rhythm of change from quarters to semesters, and the fact that we are doing so much construction on campus,” Gee said. “Those are probably the two major issues.”

In a Sept. 10 interview with The Lantern, Gee described a recent time when he narrowly escaped being at the center of a bike collision.

“I was outside of Bricker Hall and someone was riding, should(n’t) have been riding on the sidewalk, and someone whizzed by me, and if I would have stepped out another step we would have had a confrontation, and I would have lost,” he said.

To prevent people from riding on the sidewalks, some students said they think there are several ways the university could help accommodate campus bicyclists.

existing conditions,” according a Tuesday email from Ivanic.

The details of the study and the study itself have not been released.

“A reduced speed limit will help calm traffic and make the area safe for pedestrians, drivers and bicyclists,” Ivanic said.

OSU students show mixed emotions about the potential change.

“It will just back up traffic, put people on edge and potentially increase accidents,” said Ashley Hard, a third-year in psychology.

Alvian Williams, a third-year in exploration, said he thinks the change could have a positive affect.

“People are going slower so they have to be more aware of their surroundings,” Williams said.

Crime from 1A burglary, a break-in with intent to commit a crime, dropped from 178 cases in 2009 and 147 cases in 2010, to 22 burglaries in 2011.

University Police was skeptical about the drop in burglaries, Morman said. “(We double-checked) the burglary reports and theft reports to make sure we were titling them correctly,” Morman said.

Morman added he thinks the drop in burglaries was partly due to better education “because if you keep your property secure … that lessens (robbery and burglary), too.”

Several other categories of crimes, such as aggravated assault, arson and motor vehicle theft, also fell.

“I would like to attribute that to good police work,” Morman said.

Morman added that OSU as a whole is doing a better job of reporting crimes to public safety because the annual security report is not just based on police reports but on reports made anonymously by university employees such as coaches, campus security personnel and counselors.

University Police recently partnered with the Columbus Division of Police to allow University Police to act on crimes they witness off campus,

Bridge from 1A Fowler said crews have been working on the bridge portion of the project throughout the summer, including tightening up the steel cables that run through the bridge and tying down anchors, which are steel cables drilled into rock and grouted to support the ends of the bridge.

Fowler also said crews are putting on hand rails and removing temporary supports.

Some benefits of the new bridge include a barrier separating the road from the sidewalk, which was expanded to 8 feet on each side of the road, about twice as wide as it had been.

“The alignment of the road is a little bit better, took a little bit of the sharper curve out,” Fowler said. “Also, we took the pier out in the middle of the river, so that will let water flow a little bit better and the trees and debris won’t get caught up in that. It will be a little bit nicer too.”

Students living north of campus said they have experienced problems from not having

“I mean, they obviously know which students are vets. I think it would be kind of cool if there was more outreach to the vets,” Haller said, adding that OSU doesn’t reach out to tell student-veterans what programs are new and what services are offered.

Carrell agreed getting information out to veterans about their services is the biggest area in which the Office of Military and Veterans Services needs to improve.

speed limit changes with multiple emails and street signs so they aren’t caught off guard, Williams said.

“Hopefully they don’t give out a lot of tickets (at first),” said Ashley Bell, a third-year in human development and family science. “When all of the accidents occurred, they didn’t (initially) announce the jaywalking tickets.”

Lindsay Komlanc, spokeswoman for OSU Administration and Planning, stated in an email that if the speed limit does change, the Ohio State Police Department might put information on its website and the Department of Transportation and Traffic Management might communicate it through their website or Twitter account. “(But) we are talking about a proposed change,” Komlanc stated in the email. “We would need final information and details from the city before determining how best to communicate it to our community.”

which Morman said could increase future safety as well.

“I think time will tell. I think it’s a move in the right direction,” Morman said.

Lindsay Komlanc, an OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman, stated in an email that the report acts as an educational tool for the university.

“We take crime prevention very seriously here at Ohio State, and we are always working to keep our students, faculty and staff safe. Educating students, faculty and staff that crime risks are real helps reinforce that there are actions they should take to significantly reduce these risks,” she said.

Some students said the report results are a step in the right direction but think there are some safety improvements that need to be made.

“It’s a good thing that the numbers that came out show that the crime has gone down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Ohio State should lessen its forces because crime can happen at any time,” said Jessica Simmons, a fourth-year in chemistry.

Other students said they felt campus was getting safer.

“It’s good for the community that everything is safer,” said William Drees, a first-year in chemical engineering. “I think (University Police is) doing a good job.”

more bike racks on campus because it’s getting harder to find parking.

“There is a definite need for more bike parking … there needs to be more racks especially by the RPAC, (William Oxley) Thompson (Memorial) Library and the Ohio Union,” Smith said. “I have had troubles finding a spot this year more so than other years.”

Komlanc said there are a couple of options the university is looking into regarding the bike parking issue.

“Moving forward, there are a number of options being considered, including additional bike racks,” Komlanc said. “Another option being considered is moving the location of bike racks to make them easier to get to without riding on the sidewalk.”

Paige Bailey, a program assistant at the Melton Center for Jewish studies, said she rides her bike often and thinks there aren’t enough bike lanes on campus.

“I think signifying bike lanes can be very helpful,” Bailey said. “A lot of students and people just don’t know that bikes are not supposed to be on the sidewalk and they don’t feel safe on the street, so I think having marked-out lanes helps bikers feel safe and comfortable on the road.”

Some students agreed.

“I honestly think that the sidewalks shouldn’t be used for bikes,” said Chandler Wilson, a first-year in nursing. “I think that the bikers should use the streets; I mean there are streets everywhere. I’m a big biker, I don’t think it would be that difficult to use the streets. If Ohio State wanted to put in specific bike lanes I think that would be awesome. They have them on High Street and other areas of Columbus, so I think that would be a good addition to the campus community.”

Wilson also said bike racks would be helpful on campus, because they tend to be crowded when students are on campus.

Komlanc said there are very few bike lanes on campus, as the university implemented “sharrows”

access to Dodridge Street. Matt Peitsmeyer, a graduate student in exercise science, said it’s inconvenient to have to go to Lane Avenue to get to the Kroger and gas stations on Olentangy River Road.

“I was able to just take (Dodridge Street),” said Peitsmeyer, who lived north of campus for the majority of his time as an undergraduate student at OSU. “I could be at Kroger and back in like 20 minutes, but now I have to go down (to Lane Avenue), and since all of that traffic is funneled onto Lane, it takes you 20 minutes just to get from Neil (Avenue) to Olentangy.”

Matt Sheffield, a graduate student in physics, said not being able to use Dodridge Street is inconvenient on game days and it “would just be a bonus” when the bridge is done and usable.

“The contractors are trying really hard at this time to get it opened as soon as possible,” Fowler said. “We know it’s a big impact to the community around here, so we’re trying our best to finish it as fast as we can.”

getting more information to them is something the office needs to improve.

Michael Monaco thinks the biggest area OSU has to improve on is “the speed at which they handle accounts with the VA,” so the university won’t hinder scheduling for the next semester or the release of grades to students due to late payments.

There are almost 1,800 military or veteran students and 150 military dependents including spouses and children of military personnel or veterans who are using their G.I. Bill benefits enrolled at OSU.

onto streets because they are more effective when it comes to safety for all forms of transportation.

Sharrow is an nickname for “shared lane bicycle marking.”

“University streets must function for bicyclists, pedestrians, buses and cars all within a limited geographical area,” Komlanc said. “Incorporating sharrows on campus streets is part of our effort to make campus a safe place for multiple modes of travel.”

Smith said he thinks it’s important to properly educate students about bike safety, especially with the increase of bikers over the years.

“It seems as if the number of bikers increase every year,” Smith said. “Biking will increase as gas prices rise, parking gets more expensive and students that are coming out of high school today are more interested in (public) transit, walking and cycling.”

Komlanc said the bottom line is the university and student bikers need to work together to ensure traffic safety on campus.

“The biggest piece of advice for all students, faculty and staff is to personally participate in traffic safety,” Komlanc said. “Everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings and be sure they are sharing in the responsibility for traffic safety.”

Komlanc said the entire university needs to work together to reduce the number of accidents and control the problem.

“The key point to take away is that regardless of your mode of travel, all motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians have a joint responsibility to take an active role in traveling safely,” Komlanc said.

In light of accidents this fall, the university formed a safety task force that was expected to make safety recommendations to the university

by Oct. 1. Those recommendations were still being finalized on Monday and had not yet been announced to the OSU community by Tuesday evening.

The No. 12 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) host No. 21 Nebraska (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) this weekend in the team’s first Big Ten Conference home game. OSU coach Urban Meyer praised Cornhuskers’ redshirt junior quarterback Taylor Martinez during the weekly Big Ten football coaches’ teleconference.

However, Meyer did not address an off-field issues between his program and the Michigan State Spartans.

Closing ‘Tapegate,’ ‘Goug-gate’ ongoing The Buckeyes’ battle with Michigan State ended on Saturday with a 17-16 victory, and it seems that one off-the-field battle is also coming to a close.

Following OSU’s narrow win, MSU defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi told the Detroit Free Press that OSU sent the Spartans cut game footage.

But when asked about what happened with the game tape and where the two parties sit, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio declined to comment.

Dantonio also indicated that the Spartans lost not because of the doctored tape, but because of their play on the field.

“What happened on the game field on Saturday translated into winning or losing,” Dantonio said.

“And that’s where I’m going to leave that.”

The OSU coach did not mention of the video that was sent to the Big Ten of OSU junior defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins being gouged in the eye

by MSU offensive lineman Jack Allen during Saturday’s 17-16 win in East Lansing, Mich.

Meyer said Monday that he thought OSU had sent the film to the conference, Dantonio said he had not heard from the Big Ten during his portion of the Tuesday teleconference.

OSU football coach Urban Meyer fields questions from the media during his Oct. 1 press conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Considerable praise for Martinez In 11 seasons as a head football coach, Meyer has seen some athletic quarterbacks.

At Utah, Meyer coached current San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, who was drafted first overall in the 2005 NFL Draft. While playing for Meyer at Florida, current New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow won the 2007 Heisman Trophy and became one of the most decorated collegiate athletes of the past decade. In Gainesville, Meyer also briefly coached former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, who won the 2010 Heisman Trophy and was selected with the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Meyer’s praise for Martinez revealed how highly he regards the Nebraska quarterback.

“He’s one of the best runners I’ve ever seen at the quarterback position,” Meyer said.

With 298 yards rushing this season, Martinez ranks fourth among Big Ten quarterbacks. Leading that list is OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller.

“You will see two of the finest athletic quarterbacks in America on the field this weekend,” Meyer said.

Homecoming for Pelini This weekend’s Homecoming game will also be a homecoming for Nebraska coach Bo Pelini.

The Huskers’ coach played safety at OSU from 1987-90, and served as a co-captain during his senior season.

Pelini said that his team will enjoy playing in Ohio Stadium’s raucous environment, in what will be the Buckeyes’ first and only home night game of the year.

“It’s a great environment,” Pelini said. “It’s a good place to play.”

Bluem: ‘I don’t see anybody that’s quit’ kaily cunningham Lantern reporter cunningham.572@osu.edu

Despite the hardships its faced, there’s no quit in the Ohio State men’s soccer team. OSU coach John Bluem hasn’t seen evidence of that, anyway.

It’s hard to deny the obstacles OSU has faced. Early in the season, it was injuries. Recently, it was the Buckeyes’ 3-2 overtime loss at Michigan that has set the team back. The loss also dropped the Buckeyes’ record to 4-6-1 on the year.

With a week between games, OSU is using its time away from game action and on the practice field to right itself.

OSU’s next Big Ten Conference test will come Sunday at home against Michigan State.

“I’m satisfied with the work of most of the guys at practice,” Bluem said. ”I don’t see anybody that’s quit. They all want to be successful still. They all want to win games and they’re all trying their best. This week will be very good for us, a little time off to catch up on some injuries that have been bothering us.”

OSU senior co-captain and midfielder Austin McAnena agreed that time off will help the team rest up.

“Everyone’s been working hard, and there have been a lot of guys in and out,” McAnena said. “We’re a deep team, and any guy that comes off the bench could be a starter one day.”

Some OSU players have taken advantage of the injury problem, said junior co-captain defender Sage Gardner.

“I think the guys injured at the beginning of the year are starting to improve their fitness, and that’s the key,” Gardner said. “I think they’ve all contributed pretty well.”

With plenty of team depth, McAnena said he sees more players coming back as opportunities for players to get on the field remain.

Gardner agreed, saying that the more healthy players there are, the better off everyone will be.

“We need pretty much everybody now, everybody that we can have healthy because we’re starting to get into the real meat of the season, with the rest of the Big Ten coming up,” Gardner said.

McAnena said having different players come back throughout the season is better for the team as a whole.

“Every guy that comes off the bench gives us a spark,” he said.

OSU’s match against the Spartans (3-6-1) is scheduled to kick off Sunday at noon at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

The warning urged fans to purchase tickets from The Ohio State Athletics Ticket Office, OhioStateBuckeyes.com or Ticketmaster, the only authorized sellers of OSU athletics tickets. Tickets to the Nebraska game as well as all remaining home games can also be purchased through the Buckeyes TicketExchange at OhioStateBuckeyes.com/ ticketexchange. TicketExchange is the only official ticket exchange site of OSU athletics and the only resale source that can guarantee the exchange of valid tickets, according to the Tuesday release.

According to the message, fans that use any other source risk purchasing tickets that are “counterfeit, stolen or otherwise void, and as such will not allow the ticket holder admission into the event.”

Dan Wallenberg, OSU athletics spokesman, said there have been no reports of counterfeit tickets this season, but there were some circulating toward the end of last year’s basketball season.

“We realize it’s a big game and we’re just being proactive, making sure fans are aware that this could happen and to be wary of the possibility,” Wallenberg said. “Realizing the night game, the national TV, the demand for tickets for this particular game, we just wanted to get out in front of it.”

OSU police chief Paul Denton did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s Tuesday evening request for comment regarding counterfeit tickets.

OSU football prepping for Nebraska visit

By the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, behind the new Ohio State tennis facilities, is a hidden gem.

Veiled is Buckeye Varsity Field, the home of OSU field hockey, and the sport hosted there is worth the drive or bus ride out to Olentangy River Road.

I am the beat writer for the Buckeyes field hockey team, and I have attended four of the team’s five field hockey home games.

From watching these games, I have realized I would rather have a daughter play field hockey than soccer, and here’s why.

The games sometimes take half of the time other sports do. The average game time of the 2012 NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder was slightly more than two hours and 37 minutes, according to box scores from ESPN. The 2012 BCS National Championship game between Alabama and LSU took three hours and one minute, according to Alabama’s athletic site. The average game during the 2011 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers lasted almost three hours and 32 minutes, according to box scores from ESPN. Such is not the case at a field hockey game. Each game is split up into two 35-minute halves with a five-minute intermission. Field hockey has more time on the clock in comparison to NBA games and NCAA football but takes less time than both.

At OSU games, the halves are still 35 minutes long, but halftime is extended to 10 minutes. Still, games usually take one hour and 30 minutes, barring overtime.

Band to shake up C-Bus with rock ‘n’ roll

online

Andrea Henderson Senior Lantern reporter henderson.578@osu.edu

Columbus Italian Festival Check thelantern.com for a story on Columbus’ Italian Festival, held annually at St. John the Baptist.

concerts Wednesday

One rock ‘n’ roll band has had quite the track record of opening for well-known artists — some of which include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Styx, Eric Clapton and Aerosmith. And although some bands might consider opening for big-named headliners a great accomplishment, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown is most proud of the music it creates, not the artists it opens for.

The band is scheduled to perform 8 p.m. Thursday at Rumba Cafe.

Lead vocalist Tyler Bryant said the band adds a splash of soulful influence to its music, inspired by artists such as Little Richard and James Brown.

“We wanted something that sounded like how those bands make you feel,” Bryant said.

Since its formation in 2008, the band has opened for, in addition to aforementioned artists, other artists such as Pat Benatar, Smash Mouth, Paul Simon, B.B. King, Heart and REO Speedwagon.

Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown come together when Bryant met drummer Caleb Crosby.

“He asked if I wanted to jam, so when that happened we both looked at each other and said, ‘We’re starting a band,’” Crosby said.

They played their first show a week after practicing together for the first time and started their first tour a month later. The band started as a trio before working up to four members.

“It was very quick how it happened, so it was very exciting,” Crosby said.

Bryant met guitarist Graham Whitford, son of Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, during a radio interview in New York City.

“He was introduced to me as the guy that was going to put me out of a job, so I thought I better ask him to be in my band,” Bryant said.

Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown is scheduled to perform Oct. 4 at Rumba Cafe.

The most recent addition to the band, bassist Noah Denney, joined about five months ago.

When they’re not touring, the band members reside in Nashville, Tenn. And Bryant said when he’s off the road and has a chance to turn on the radio he doesn’t hear any other bands that sound like Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown.

The members of the band wanted to create a band name that was able to capture the essence of soul and rock behind their music. The name came to them while going through the security line at an airport in New York City.

“My guitar was going through security and it

went off, so they had to wipe my guitar down,” Bryant said. “Everybody in the band was like, ‘Tyler’s getting shaken down,’ and we were like, ‘Oh, that’s our band name.’”

Bryant, a 21-year-old from Honey Grove, Texas, said his interest in rock music began at a young age.

“When I was in first grade, I saw a video of Elvis Presley in school, and that was it for me. I wanted to be him,” Bryant said.

He said his mother dyed his hair black and he sold his dirt bike to buy an electric guitar.

Bryant’s early interest in music paid off when he was asked to play with U.K. guitarist Jeff Beck during his 2011 tour.

“As a kid he was always my favorite guitarist, so I was just so nervous getting the opportunity to tour with him,” Bryant said.

He reiterated though that despite the acts he’s played for, making music is the most pleasing part of his career.

“The most rewarding thing that I’ve gotten out of it is finishing this new record,” Bryant said. “We all worked so hard on that and did it on our own, so no one will ever be able to take that away from us.”

The band has released two albums, “My Radio” in September 2011 and “From the Sandcastle” in March 2011. It newest album “Wild Child” is promising for a January release.

And as for its show Thursday, which Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown is headlining, Bryant said the focus won’t be on the names of the bands playing, but just the feeling the music gives the audience.

“We’re there to make people have fun,” Bryant said. “I hope it’s a time the audience gets to let their hair down and loosen up their tie for a second.”

Tickets cost $9.99 and can be purchased on the Rumba Cafe’s website or at the venue, located at 2507 Summit St.

Hailing from Kansas City, Mo., the trio is slated to open for Nonpoint and Taproot Friday at Alrosa Villa.

“The tour is going great,” said Scott Taylor, Black Oxygen’s manager.

and bassist Jordan Myer, 20, round out the band.

David Lyle said Black Oxygen was not the first name imagined for the band, but it was the one that stuck.

“We had a lot of names in mind and it was just one of those (names) that we just thought sounded cool, so we took that one and it’s worked for us ever since,” David Lyle said.

The band’s sound has been compared to that of 1990s grunge and 1980s hair bands.

“They are an interesting crossover between a lot of influences, like Alice

in Chains, but at the same time they have catchy big choruses that go back to the 1980s even though they still sound current,” Taylor said. “They kind of have their own sound.”

Black Oxygen played its largest headlining show to date Sept. 22 at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, Kan., with a crowd turnout close to 15,000 people.

“We expected a good amount of people but it was actually more than we expected,” David Lyle said.

Foo Fighters cause heartache taking a break from music, fans

Friday

Brad paisley w/ The Band perry & scotty mcCreery 7 p.m. @ Nationwide Arena

“Feedback has been excellent and the band has really been getting nice crowds, even for opening.”

Having a single featured on ESPN doesn’t hurt, either.

“We submitted the song (‘Take it to the Limit’) to ESPN and they really liked it,” Taylor said, adding the network especially liked the name of the song.

David Lyle, 21, lead vocalist and guitarist, said the trio went to high school together and has maintained a friendship for years. Drummer and brother of David Lyle, Nick Lyle, 19,

Unlike my other attempts at taking breaks in relationships, I’m hoping my current one with the Foo Fighters can be worked out.

You see, Foo Fighters is preparing for what appears to be an extended break from producing and touring.

Since it will be going dormant for an unknown period of time this means I the band and I are also going on break.

I’m committed, though. I’m going to wait for the band.

Frontman Dave Grohl left mouths gaping during the band’s Saturday set at the Global Citizens Festival in New York, when he said: “We don’t have any shows after this. This is where we play as many songs as we can in a short period of time, because, honestly, I don’t know when we’re gonna do it again.”

Grohl took to the band’s website Tuesday to clarify his remarks and confirm Foo Fighters’ break. The letter he wrote read:

“Hey everyone ...

Dave here. Just wanted to write and thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for another incredible year. (Our 18th, to be exact). We truly never could have done any of this without you ...

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest.

There were times when I didn’t think the band would survive.

There were times when I wanted to give up. But ... I can’t give up this band. And I never will. Because it’s not just a band to me. It’s my life.

It’s my family. It’s my world.

“Yes ... I was serious. I’m not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it’s a good thing for all of us to go away for a while.

It’s one of the reasons we’re still here. Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it’s good to just... put it back in the garage for a while ...”

So the thing about the band’s break from making music and touring is that it’s also a break between the band and I, and it hurts.

Albums, tickets to live shows, T-shirts — I’ve supported these guys and this is the thanks I get?

Selfish lover, right?

As in any breakup, you want the initiator of the break — Grohl

Courtesy of MCT

Dave Grohl (right), frontman of the Foo Fighters, announced Sept. 29 that the band will be taking a break from producing and touring. in this case — to know you’re hurt.

Some breakups are initiated under suspicious circumstances In this case, I guess I’m just worried the band members will go run off with American rock band Queens of the Stone Age or something.

Grohl has spent time as a drummer for Queens of the Stone Age, so my suspicion (though it might be that of a jealous lover) isn’t completely unfounded.

Still, I’m going to try to make this break work.

I want what’s best for the guys in the band, and if they say it will be good to get away, then they really should shelve it all for a while. After all, it has been working on “Wasting Light” and touring since August 2010.

And then there’s this, the final two lines of Grohl’s letter to fans:

“Me, Taylor (Hawkins), Nate (Mendel), Pat (Smear), Chris (Shiflett), and Rami (Jaffee) ... I’m sure we’ll all see you out there ... somewhere ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

If I must take a break from my love affair with Foo Fighters, I guess I can’t ask more of the bandmates than that.

“I’m sure we’ll all see you out there ... somewhere” — those words are far from a commitment to the future but just as far from a clean break, so I’ll take it and hold out hope that we get back together.

No, I’m not finished with Foo Fighters. Nor does it appear that it’s finished with me, err, I mean us.

Put it back in the garage if you gotta, guys. Come back when Foo Fighters is good and ready to rock again. I’ll be here when you’re ready to talk.

studentvoice ‘No soup’ for self-titled ‘Grammar Nazis’ Asst. Multimedia editor

“The Atlantic” reported in May that 28 percent of high school seniors and college students check Facebook before they get out of bed and I am one of them.

I find it more interesting to john wernecke read about other wernecke.5@osu.edu people’s days when I do not want to start my own, so I’m often guilty of the wake ‘n read.

Imagine that, mid-browse, a light goes off in my head and I decide to type out a new status. Say this

imaginary status is: “Pop-Tarts for breakfast? There the best!”

This harmless status might grab a handful of “likes” from those same-minded individuals who also can’t start the day without a toasted pastry treat. Clearly this is the best-case scenario.

The worst-case scenario is someone posting a comment under the status writing something along the lines of, “Don’t you mean ‘they’re?’”

If this happened to me, my initial thought would be “Oh no! I’m a journalist; my words are all I have.

My sense of self is shattered before my feet have even touched the floor!”

That is, until that same person posts again soon after saying “Sorry, I’m just such a grammar Nazi.”

Whoa. All bets are now off. Instantly I transform into a gigantic eye-rolling monster, stomping around my room. All the shame I feel about my mistake slides away.

Grammar Nazi? Why would anyone call

themselves a Nazi anything or associate themselves with history’s worst people?

Would you call yourself Grand Wizard of Grammar? Hopefully not. That’d connote the Ku Klux Klan, a group just as disgusting.

“Grammar Nazi” has been printed on T-shirts, dubbed over the Hitler scene in “Inglorious Bastards,” turned into a meme and is unfortunately often used as a self-descriptor.

The label has become desensitized to a point where “Grammar Nazi” is the accepted, playful way to describe a person voraciously committed to proper language rules.

And it’s all Jerry Seinfeld’s fault.

“Seinfeld,” the seminal 1990s sitcom that gave us idioms like “yada, yada, yada” and “master of your domain” also gave us the infamous character, The Soup Nazi.

Based off real-life vendor Al Yeganeh, The Soup Nazi was an instant classic character with his Stalin-

like mustache and forceful command “No soup for you!”

The Soup Nazi was so memorable that the actor portraying him, Larry Thomas, received an Emmy nomination for the role in 1996.

Thomas tours the country in the Seinfeld Food Truck, with “No Soup for You!” emblazoned in large red letters along the side. Thomas still signs autographs, in character, almost 20 years later.

Words often change meanings over time.

Whether certain words should ever evolve, and what it means if they do, is unclear.

To me, Nazi should not mean anything other than “senseless murderer.” There are no benefits to letting the word change in meaning.

So if you so-called “Grammar Nazis” are sincerely committed to clear language, throttle it back on the hyperbole. Try “Grammar Enthusiasts” and see if your heart rate doesn’t come down a little.

OSU students should be reimbursed for canceled classes Lantern Columnist

From preschool to 12th grade, most of us probably jumped for joy when school was canceled.

But now that I am brandon klein in college, klein.340@osu.edu whenever I get an email from a professor or see a sign posted on a classroom door saying class is canceled, I wonder whether I should be celebrating or feeling indignant.

Though there are some students who spend thousands of dollars on their college education to skip class or surf the web while in lecture, there still needs to be an expectation for instructors to come to class.

With tuition increasing and student debt exceeding $1 trillion, I think universities should consider a policy that ensures students get reimbursed if a significant number of classes are canceled for a course.

The cost for a 3-credit hour course is $1,146,

2B

which does not include fees related to the course. The course includes about 40 hours of in-class time so that a student would be paying $28.65 per hour. A student spends two hours and 40 minutes in class per week, which is about $76.40 per week per class.

For a class that takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an hour and 20 minutes each, a student would be paying $38.20 per class. If a professor canceled class just one time, that $38.20 went down the drain.

Instructors then have to either cut out material from the syllabus or squeeze it into the remaining class time. It does not matter where a student goes to school because it can happen anywhere. But with student debt becoming a major problem, maybe it’s time to ensure students are getting their money’s worth for classes.

Ohio State has never reimbursed a student for any canceled classes, said Brad Myers, the university registrar.

“I have worked here for a long time and have never seen any arrangement for students to be reimbursed for canceled classes, but it has also been rare for a class to be canceled except for unusual circumstances,” Myers said.

Typically, an instructor would find a substitute from his or her department to take over for the day, he said.

“Certainly unforeseen circumstances can

come up and someone to sub isn’t always instantly available,” Myers added.

However, from my experience, there are instructors who do cancel class for various reasons such as illnesses, transportation issues and even personal issues. I think many of these reasons are understandable, but it’s also important that teachers do everything in their power to ensure class will be in session.

Tara Paranjpe, a second-year in neuroscience, said cancelling class is acceptable occasionally.

“It’s a nice little surprise now and then,” Paranjpe said.

But Paranjpe said if a professor continuously cancels class without explanation, students should get reimbursed.

“I’m not getting anything out of the class (if classes were canceled),” Paranjpe said. “I think if he (or she) does it more than half the semester it would be a problem, but if they do show they have personal problems then I can understand that.”

Ryan Sosby, a third-year in geography, agreed with Paranjpe.

“It wouldn’t be a big deal if it happened once but it would if it happened repeatedly,” Sosby said.

Therefore, universities should hold the expectation for students and teachers to come to class.

CD Reviews Matt and Kim’s album a ‘Transit of Venus’ true Shelton’s album basks bolt of disappointment Three Days Grace in Christmas, country CAITLIN ESSIG Asst. arts editor essig.21@osu.edu When I want to listen to an effortlessly cheerful song to brighten my day, I often have to look no further than indie pop duo Matt and Kim’s wealth of joyful tracks. But listening to its newest album “Lightning,” which was released Tuesday, I found myself at times confused, disappointed and just missing the band’s old sound, à la its staple song “Daylight.”

“Let’s Go,” the album’s June-released single kicks things off. The song is melodically and lyrically simple, and the hook, “Say what you wanna say / Make it mean everything,” rolls right off the tongue during the first listen.

“Not That Bad” is a train wreck. The desperate lover’s tale lyrics, “I sat all alone / Outside of your home / Waiting to get in,” left me wishing I’d skipped this track.

Vocalist Matt Johnson turned things around for me with “Overexposed,” a catchy track in which he sings, “Let’s wake the world / And sing them back to sleep,” my favorite line from the album.

The majority of the album’s 10 tracks is an unpredictable rollercoaster ride of good and bad music. “I Said” and “Much Too

Late” are annoyingly repetitive.

However, I found myself liking simple track “Tonight” and the choppy, distinct “I Wonder.”

The album’s slowest song, “Ten Dollars I Found” closes the album horribly, as it sounds like I could’ve written the lyrics (“I’ll buy the next round / With 10 dollars I found / At the Nostrand stop / Surrounded by cops”) at age 13.

This song is no better than the “We got a dollar / We got a dollar / We got a dollar / Hey hey hey hey” tune from “The Little Rascals.”

Overall, the lyrics are predictable, average and too repetitive and the keyboards are overdone. I wanted to like this album as much as I’ve liked the band’s music in the past, which is perfect to unwind to. But “Lightning” just left me scrambling for something else to listen to so I could get Johnson’s nasal-sounding voice and annoying lyrics out of my head.

DAN HOPE Senior Lantern reporter hope.46@osu.edu Three Days Grace’s sound has evolved with each album it has released. The Canadian rock band’s fourth album “Transit of Venus,” which released Tuesday, is no exception.

The album stays true to the music Three Days Grace fans know and love, pairing Adam Gontier’s impeccable vocals and piercing lyrics with resonating riffs from guitarist Barry Stock.

“Transit of Venus,” however, adds new flavor to the band’s music with an influx of new instrumentals and sound that gives the album a more produced quality.

As the band has done well on each of its albums, “Transit of Venus” goes from riff-heavy metal songs such as “Operate” and album single “Chalk Outline,” to mellower songs focused more around their messages such as “Time That Remains.”

Per usual, the album features lyrics carved deep with the emotions of hardship. One example is the track “Happiness,” which traces back to Gontier’s battles with addiction,

“Transit of Venus” Three Days Grace

A-

the theme that drove the band’s sophomore album “One-X.” “Happiness straight from the bottle / When real life’s too hard to swallow,” Gontier shouts in the song’s chorus.

There is no shortage of lyrical quality on this album, but the album’s third track “The High Road” stands out.

It can be inferred that Gontier is singing about a relationship gone wrong, with lyrics such as “There’s times I stayed alive for you / There’s times I would have died for you.”

The lyrics that end Gontier’s chorus resonate more than any others on the album: “I’ll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can’t live without.”

This is another fantastic chapter to the band’s discography. If you enjoy the band’s music, you won’t want to live without this album.

HAILEY KIM Lantern reporter kim.3712@osu.edu Some might think it’s too soon to release a Christmas album, but for country artist Blake Shelton, it’s the perfect time. His holiday album “Cheers, It’s Christmas” released Tuesday.

If you watch Shelton in his role as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice” it’s likely apparent to you that the country singer is a veteran in the country music industry. And even though the album stayed true to those country roots, it proved Shelton is capable of versatility.

Throughout “Cheers, It’s Christmas,” he collaborated with artists across multiple genres including pop and easy-listening.

Shelton rocks out with his lovely wife, Miranda Lambert on “Jingle Bell Rock” and collaborates with Reba McEntire in a cover of “Oklahoma Christmas.” He sings with Michael Bublé in “Home,” inviting a softer, more modern feel to his country songs, and this was definitely one of the album’s best.

Shelton joins forces with “The Voice” contestant Xenia to bring in a completely different sound to “Silver Bells.” Kelly

“Cheers, It’s Christmas” Blake Shelton

Clarkson lent her talent to “There’s A New Kid In Town,” and he teamed up with his mother, Dorothy Shackleford, on “Time for Me to Come Home.”

Shelton’s voice provided a warm and cozy feel, bringing in memories of Christmas and home.

In making “Cheers, It’s Christmas,” Shelton tried to make a Christmas album for everybody, not just country lovers. And it worked.
