Student Safety Service seeks to be a steady force Organization does more than just drive students back and forth ERIC WEITZ Lantern reporter weitz.25@osu.edu Student Safety Service vehicles are often seen shuttling students around campus late at night, but the program does more than chauffeur students from the Union to residence halls on chilly evenings. Student Safety Service recently wrapped

up a year of crime deterrent practices, which introduced a bus security program and an off-campus high-visibility patrol initative. In 2014, Student Safety Service provided escort services to 20,496 people. However, program coordinator Sean Bolender said the program provided a variety of services to students last year. He said Student Safety Service worked 3,014 hours, or more than 125 days, outside of escort services in 2014. It worked at

sporting events, concerts and other university events, including move-in day, Buck-iFrenzy and commencement. Student Safety Service senior manager and recent Ohio State graduate Neal Wilson said the duties of officers changed from event to event based on the particular security needs at the time. “One of the nice things about Student

ome campus elevators are set to be fixed up in the coming year. Elevators in several academic and research buildings will be upgraded next year after a $4.8 million project was approved by the Board of Trustees on Jan. 30. The money will affect as many as 17 elevator systems in 11 academic buildings, chosen based on condition, according to trustees meeting minutes. The elevators will be upgraded, modified or replaced entirely based on need. The funding will be provided by state appropriations. “The work will be based on recommendations by professional industry consultants taking condition, usage and estimated costs into consideration,” Dan Hedman, spokesman for Administration and Planning, said in an email. Improvements are set to begin June 16 and run until Jan. 17, 2016, Hedman said. About $4 million will go toward the construction itself, including contingencies in case things don’t go as planned, while $800,000 will cover service fees. continued as Elevator on 2A

Even a move from the Big Ten regular season to the first round of the National Duals couldn’t slow down the Ohio State wrestling team. The Buckeyes (13-3) topped the Edinboro Fighting Scots (13-5), 30-7, on Sunday to move on to the quarterfinals of the National Duals in Iowa next weekend. OSU has now won nine straight matchups. OSU redshirt-senior Logan Stieber, who is ranked No. 1 at 141 pounds, and Edinboro’s redshirt-senior Mitchell Port (ranked second) wrestled to a 6-3 Steiber win. Afterward, Stieber said he feels confident when facing such tough competition. “I felt good. I keep feeling better every weekend, I felt like I was in control the whole time,” Stieber said. “It’s good to wrestle a good opponent like Mitchell, as it will only help me prepare for the big matches to come.” The Buckeyes will look to use the momentum from their winning streak — including senior Ray Gordon’s first win of the season — heading into Saturday’s National Duals finals in Iowa City. “It was a good team performance, especially seeing our heavyweight (Gordon) win a match,” Stieber said. “Now we just have to focus on continuing to improve as well as getting in better shape and keep doing what we’re doing.” Redshirt-junior Johnni DiJulius (133) said the team has what it takes to win in the postseason. “We’re getting in a groove at the right time and that is helping with confidence and momentum,” DiJulius said. Coach Tom Ryan agreed that his team is hitting its stride at the right time and added that OSU could continue to get even better after facing Edinboro. “That was a tough team that brought some big matches, and overall, we looked good,” Ryan said. “We’re looking better as the season progresses.” The three freshmen in the lineup continued their dominance and all gained the team bonus points for their efforts.

Watch out: Smartwatches stir discussion around classroom technology ALAINA BARTEL Lantern reporter bartel.21@osu.edu As Will Sloan sits in class, he stares down at his watch and smiles. Other students file into the room, maybe wondering what amusement could possibly be on a watch, but soon seem to shrug it off as Sloan pulls out his phone. His observers are probably unaware of the Pebble Smartwatch on his wrist. Wearable technology is increasingly used in an educational setting, and a few universities have taken action to prevent academic misconduct with these devices. City University London and the University of London in the United Kingdom have banned all watches during exams in fear of students cheating with a smartwatch, but the topic of wearable technology is not a new one at Ohio State. “Since the introduction of the calculator watch in the 1970s, wearable technology has been a part of the conversation around technology in education. As the technology we have access to becomes smaller and more ubiquitous, conversations about academic misconduct become increasingly complex, but the bottom line is that

Wearable technology is becoming increasingly popular in classroom settings, with a few universities taking action to prevent academic midconduct by its use.

cheating, in all forms, is not allowed, regardless of whether it involves technology or not,” Liv Gjestvang, associate vice president of learning technology, said in an email. Sloan, a second-year in computer science and engineering, said Pebble Smartwatches are connected to the user’s smartphone, and the users get notifications such as previews of text messages on their watches. “The easiest way to think of the smartwatch is an extension of the phone,” Sloan said. “When we had flip phones, and on the outside there would just be a really basic screen, all you could see is just a little bit of information, but it’s enough to see kind of what was going on. And when you opened it up, all of the information was on the inside. It is kind of like that, except it’s right on my wrist.” Sloan said he has never been confronted about removing his watch during an exam. However, he said he would be mildly annoyed if he was asked to do so, but he understands why professors have concerns about academic misconduct. The use of technology in an academic setting was the subject of a study published last year. Conducted by researchers at Princeton University and the University of California, Los Angeles, the study found that handwritten

campus Wrestling from 1A Redshirt-freshman Nathan Tomasello won via majority decision (four points) to get the meet going at 125 pounds, while fellow redshirtfreshman Bo Jordan earned a pin (six points) that gave the Buckeyes a 20-4 advantage. Freshman Kyle Snyder used 11 takedowns in route to a 25-9 technical fall (five points) at 197 pounds. The last match featured Gordon pulling off a 3-1 decision to capture his first win of the season. The senior has been wrestling in place of injured redshirt-sophomore Nick Tavanello, who has been out with a knee injury. Tavanello is expected to make his way back next week, so Gordon’s first senior victory likely ended his OSU career. The Buckeyes are set to take on Lehigh University in the quarterfinals Saturday at noon.

Elevator work on campus is contracted out to the Schindler Elevator Corp., the American branch of the Schindler Group, an international manufacturer of escalators and elevators based in Switzerland. Every day, an average of eight full-time Schindler technicians work at Ohio State, inspecting and maintaining elevators for safety and occasionally handling service calls when they come up, said Schindler spokeswoman Kathy Rucki. OSU currently spends $1.6 million every year to maintain the 546 elevators on the campus, Hedman said, and in the past 10 years, the school invested an estimated $25.5 million in elevator infrastructure and new equipment. Schindler also conducts annual safety tests on OSU elevators while Ohio’s Department of Commerce conducts its own independent safety tests annually, Rucki said. These tests determine if elevators comply with the standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Schindler has worked on OSU elevators since November 2012, Rucki said. The OSU project will only affect academic and research buildings because the money will come from state funds, so it won’t affect elevators in residence halls or medical buildings, Hedman said. Money for services in residence halls and medical buildings comes from a different source, he added. Some students, such as Alex Rand, a resident of Baker Hall East, said he sees the need for improvement in some buildings around campus, but would also like to see such changes in residence halls. “Certain buildings need a retrofit for their elevators, Baker East being one of them,” said Rand, a first-year in Arabic and international studies. “The elevator feels a little rickety sometimes.”

Smartwatches from 1A notes were found to be more effective in helping students retain information. The study found that students who typed their notes had more content written down in a cleanly organized manner, but the notes were verbatim from the lecture. On the other hand, students who used longhand had fewer words, but they used keywords that demanded comprehension of topics to recall. Richard Voithofer, a professor in the Educational Technology program, said new technologies, including educational films, radio, television and the Internet, have historically been met with distrust and skepticism. “The classroom can be a very traditional environment in terms of teaching and learning,” Voithofer said. “Technologies can force a change in practice.” The Pebble Smartwatch has four buttons with no touch screen, and even though you can read information on the watch, you cannot type. There are ways to write an application for the watch, and many users download applications that others have already developed, Sloan said. “The watch is actually very low functioning by itself,” Sloan said. “It has almost no communication with the outside world,

Student Safety from 1A Safety is that the longer you work here, and the different events you work, the more you realize it is a very fluid job,” he said. “Really, we do whatever is requested of us.” Wilson said special event duties included a variety of responsibilities, such as ensuring that attendees arrived at and entered the venues safely and assisting those with disabilities or medical conditions with escort services. Bolender said last year, officers were present at OSU football and basketball games, the PGA Golf Tour and the Special Olympics. Officers were also asked to assist with security at Miley Cyrus, Arcade Fire, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé concerts. During spring 2013, Student Safety Service also teamed up with the Department of Transportation and Traffic Management to provide security on late night East Residential buses. After a trial period that semester, the program was implemented in the fall. Wilson said student officers remain present on the buses on Friday and Saturday nights to assist the driver in making sure riders are following policies during the extended hours. “We are a visual deterrent for people who want to get too rowdy on the buses or cause problems for the driver,” he said. “There have been more than a couple cases where we have actually had an officer respond to a first-aid situation that they witnessed either directly on the bus or nearby. It’s not only helping the drivers in situations like that, it’s helping the broader community as well.” Bolender echoed that concept, recalling an instance when a student officer left the bus to render first aid to someone at a stop. Last year, Student Safety Service also conducted more than 4,000 checks of buildings and parking lots on campus, Bolender said. “A common misconception is that when people see our staff inside a building, we’re looking to see if a student is causing trouble,” he stated in an earlier email. “Our real purpose is to make sure people who don’t belong in the building, people who may be there to conduct a crime, get reported to the police.” Bolender said student officers receive first aid and security training that allows

besides through the phone. So, you really need the phone. Otherwise the watch is basically just a watch.” Other smartwatches, like the Apple Watch set to be released later this year, have already begun promoting the use of third-party applications on wearable technology devices. Although many new technologies have been looked at with skepticism, Gjestvang said technology in a classroom setting can have advantages. “How and when technology is used in the classroom is at the discretion of the faculty member,” Gjestvang said. “There are lots of ways to create assignments and assessments that allow students to explore and solve problems with technology.” Even though there are ways to receive messages from friends on a smartwatch, Sloan said even in the classroom, he mainly uses it to check the time, as well as to glance at the notifications instead of pulling his phone out and getting mentally off track from learning. “I use it basically for monitoring my phone. Whenever I get notifications, it comes up on my watch,” Sloan said. “It’s really nice and it allows me to be more conversational with people, because I don’t have to be constantly distracted.”

them to conduct these random checks and detect possible concerns that an ordinary person might overlook. “They are there to try to prevent crime from occurring in the first place,” he said. “We are hoping that if somebody was thinking about breaking into a car, they would see our vehicle moving through the parking lot and think otherwise.” Bolender said Student Safety Service foot and bike patrols are assigned to conduct these random checks, but student officers assigned to escort services also check buildings and lots if they have no calls for escorts. “Rather than the vehicle just sitting and idling, which would be a waste of university resources, we encourage them to go out and do those types of checks to continue to build up the visual presence we have on campus for security,” Bolender said. During Fall Semester 2014, Student Safety Service also launched a new pilot program called Operation Safeguard, which places high-visibility patrols in off-campus neighborhoods east of High Street. “This is a fantastic new initiative that Administration and Planning rolled out, where they have students providing high-visibility patrols east of High Street,” Bolender said of Operation Safeguard. “We are trying to make the area saturated with security presence so that anybody who would seek to do a crime would think otherwise. It’s more about deterrence than anything.” As part of the program, Student Safety Service also occasionally stations its mobile command center near the south side of the Ohio Union, providing students with hot beverages and the opportunity to talk with student officers about safety. Bolender added that Student Safety Service also provided training for student groups and dining hall managers in CPR, first aid, and automated external defibrillator use upon request. Student Safety Service employs about 35 students who typically work between 21 and 28 hours each week. Bolender said all student officers are trained in every aspect of the program. “The idea is that at any point, if there is a gap, we can take any person within our program and put them in to do the mission for whatever that program is,” he said.

An untitled clay sculpture by Natalia Arbelaez as part of her thesis work for her MFA program

Only a few months before permanent separation, the Ohio State Master of Fine Arts candidates are unified this week when their theses are displayed under the same roof downtown. “Phase Shift” will showcase 14 MFA candidates’ works Tuesday through March 21 at the Urban Arts Space. A showing Saturday will also include a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The thesis exhibition is a summation of the MFA’s ideas, discussions and experiments with various materials over the past three years, said Rebecca Harvey, interim chair and professor in the Department of Art. Natalia Arbelaez, a third-year MFA in ceramic and sculpture, is an artist who leaves all of her work untitled because she wants the pieces to stand for themselves. Arbelaez’s 30 drooping clay sculptures, with bodies “melting” to symbolize aging, are intended as a reminder that life is temporary. She also said the high-to-low positioning of the figures, varying from 12 to 34 inches in height, hints at the hierarchy people place on themselves through such things as race and religion. Liam O’Connor, third-year MFA in sculpture, calls his work a single

A taste of OSU, a taste of the world Ogonna Ononye Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu The aroma of international sauces, meats, cheeses and breads filled the air as students and guests walked into the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom of the Ohio Union on Friday. Below the ballroom in the main area of the Union, children were propped up on parents’ shoulders smiling and cheering on family members performing traditional dance routines on stage. More than 30 diverse student organizations came together to eat, perform and cherish one another’s culture and diversity, creating the melting pot that was the 19th annual Taste of OSU event. For some, like first-year in business Lauren Horwood, Taste of OSU was a chance to engage in a more diverse experience from the one she came from at home. “I come from a super small town (Conneaut, Ohio) where we have a really small population and there’s not as much culture, so I’m really looking forward to seeing all the performances,” Horwood said. “There’s a chance to have all of these different kinds of foods here, so why not?” For many of the performers, the four-hour event on Friday night was more than a buffet of international delicacies or a showcase of events. It was a stage to express their stances on global issues, or represent their hopes for the future.

Al-Akhras said of her performance. “We just wanted to show that we all share a common culture, a common language, and we got to express that tonight.” The group expressed this sentiment through a traditional dance called “dabke,” a dance Al-Akhras said was popular in countries including Kurdistan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine. Jamal Ali, president of the Somali Students’ Association, shared a similar sentiment after

performing the traditional Somali dhaanto dance. He hopes students will take what they see at Taste of OSU and explore more of their culture on their own. “We can’t describe in words how we feel right now,” Ali said. “It was just so amazing. I hope now that people who saw us will just go on YouTube to see the story of what we just performed. I hope they’ll get a different perspective of our culture.”

Buckeye defense to mix youth, experience JAMES GREGA, JR Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu

sophomore Raekwon McMillan will likely round out a three-man group that is built to torture opponents’ backfields. McMillan — who will replace Curtis Grant — totaled 54 tackles in his freshman campaign, just 15 less than Grant, who started each game in 2014. Combined, the three returning players Darron Lee accounted for 259 tackles in 2014, and are poised to shatter that number in 2015. Should an unforeseen injury occur, incoming freshman Justin Hilliard, the top outside linebacker recruit in the country according to ESPN, could see some early reps. Hilliard is an Ohio native out of St. Xavier High School and a possible future star for the Buckeyes.

It’s been more than a month since the Ohio State football team won its eighth national championship, but it is never too early to look forward to the start of the 2015 season. The Buckeyes are set to return seven of 11 starters on defense, a crew that held all three Heisman finalists relatively in check over the last three games of the year. With the 2015 spring game just about two months away from kicking off, we look at what the “Silver Bullets” will be bringing to the table as they get set to defend their title. Defensive line While the Buckeyes lose Steve Miller and Michael Bennett, OSU doesn’t seem to be taking too big of a step back in 2015 along the defensive front. Unanimous All-American junior Joey Bosa is set to return for what will likely be his final season in the scarlet and gray, and veteran senior Adolphus Washington will likely anchor the interior of the front four for OSU. The candidate most likely to replace Bennett, who is almost sure to be Joey Bosa a first- or second-round NFL Draft selection, is senior Tommy Schutt. Schutt played in 12 games in 2014 and recorded 10 tackles. Redshirt-sophomore Michael Hill will also earn time as the Buckeyes rotate early and often on the defensive line, especially inside. Replacing the production lost by Miller and Rashad Frazier should not be an issue for the Buckeyes as highly touted youngsters step to the forefront. Sophomore Jalyn Holmes, who made an appearance in nine games including the title game against Oregon, is a leading candidate for the end spot while fellow

Defensive backs If you are looking for a position group to credit for winning the 2014 title (other than the quarterbacks), look no further than the OSU secondary. The Buckeyes improved to the 29th best pass defense in 2014 from the 112th ranked pass defense in 2013, and stifled offenses for the large part of the title run. From the back four, the Buckeyes are set to return three players in 2015, but the one player lost might be the most difficult to replace.

“I think the time of possession was key and that was certainly a big part of our game plan,” Myers said.

The OSU baseball team kicked off its season with a 3-0 start, dispatching George Mason, Saint Louis and Pittsburgh at the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., partially because of the pitching of senior Ryan Riga (pictured). “It’s great to get off to a good start to the season and win all three games this weekend,” coach Greg Beals said in a press release. “Our pitching staff was the story today with 4 different guys pitching a combined shutout. I liked how we approached our at-bats and played defensively, too. It was a team win and I’m proud of the way our guys competed from start to finish.”

OPINION

NBA All-Star weekend entertains — to an extent TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu

NBA All-Star Sunday morning was moderately entertaining, and that’s all it needs to be. Of course, there were no significant events Sunday morning but, probably like many others, I recorded the Friday and Saturday night festivities and watched them Sunday because the NBA All-Star competitions just aren’t worth setting time aside to watch. But they’re still worth watching as long as you accept them for what they are though. Yes, the rising stars challenge, the celebrity game, the shooting stars competition and the skills competition are all boring and basically pointless. But to be honest, it’s fun to watch 13-year-old Mo’ne Davis make 5-foot-4 comedian Kevin Hart look silly on the basketball court. It’s also moderately enjoyable to watch Chris Bosh, Swin

Minnesota’s Zach LaVine turned his in-game dunking prowess into a victory in the NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest on Feb. 14.

Cash and Dominique Wilkins lob half-court shots in the general direction of the basket. And none of that even covers the feature Saturday night events. I’ll skip the skills challenge, because every participant loafed through the entire thing and it wasn’t entertaining at all. I’ll also skip all of the random commentary and concerts thrown into the mix, just as I did when I hit the fast forward button on my remote Sunday morning. That button even proved useful in the two events I actually wanted to watch: the three-point contest and the dunk contest. Don’t get me wrong, I watched every silky-smooth Stephen Curry jump shot and every jaw-dropping Zach LaVine dunk, but the nonsense in between — like Victor Oladipo doing his best Frank Sinatra impression — was a waste of time. But that’s just me. Maybe there are fans out there who enjoyed all of that, but there are also people like me who just want to watch the best in the game, you know, play the game. And that’s exactly why NBA All-Star weekend works better

sports OSU men’s hockey aims for ‘playoff mentality’ KALEY RENTZ Lantern reporter rentz.21@osu.edu

Times have been tough for the Ohio State men’s hockey team, as the Buckeyes split a weekend series with Wisconsin, hurting their chances at earning a higher seed in the conference tournament. Going into the series, coach Steve Rohlik told the team he wanted it to play with a playoff mentality. “You know it’s all about getting better, and when we talk about playoff mentality, the NHL season is a long grind and you see what happens in the playoffs. It’s the ultimate sport to watch in the playoffs and I said, ‘That is the mentality you have to have,’” Rohlik said. But even with that mentality, the Buckeyes followed a 2-1 Friday win with a 3-2 loss on Saturday. The loss means the Buckeyes’ chances at a higher seed in the Big Ten Tournament have become slimmer. OSU is guaranteed a spot in the six-team tournament, but will likely have to face a top-three seed as the Buckeyes sit at fifth in the conference with eight regular season games to play. Senior forward Tanner Fritz said making a late-season push will come down to playing with pride and confidence. “(We are playing for our) pride. You have to play desperate hockey all the time and you want to go into the tournament with some confidence,” Fritz said. “It was a great opportunity for us tonight to get our first sweep, and we came up short.” Rohlik said he thought his team played with a bit of the playoff mentality in Friday’s game but didn’t feel the Buckeyes had the same approach going into Saturday’s matchup. “I talked to the guys after, I said, ‘You guys have to play desperate,’ and we talked about playoff hockey. Tonight’s performance was a different version of playoff hockey than I understand,” Rohlik said. With the offense falling short of the playoff mentality, the Buckeye defense stepped up and portrayed a bit of the desperation that Rohlik was looking for. After a total of 25 blocked shots against Wisconsin, the Buckeyes showed that they are willing to put themselves on the line for the puck. “If you’re in the lanes, you have to sacrifice your body for the team, and we talked about that and we have to continue to do a better job of that,” Rohlik said.

Defense from 1B like Tony Lippett from Michigan State and Heisman finalist Amari Cooper from Alabama and held each under 100 yards. With Doran Grant lost to graduation, it is likely redshirtsophomore Eli Apple will slide over to the strongside corner spot while redshirt-junior Tyvis Powell and junior Vonn Bell will return to their respective safety spots. Eli Apple Leading candidates to take over the weakside corner position are likely redshirt-sophomore Gareon Conley and sophomore Damon Webb. Conley, who started in place of Apple during the Michigan State game, showed signs of weakness as he gave up two big plays to quarterback Connor Cook and company, forcing Apple to play injured.

Senior forward Chad Niddary (19) and OSU snapped a 6-game losing streak with a 2-1 win against Wisconsin on Feb. 13, then lost, 3-2, on Feb. 14. With just four series remaining on the Big Ten schedule, including another against Wisconsin, the Buckeyes will be looking for the playoff mentality to become a part of their everyday game. Senior assistant captain Matt Johnson said there are no excuses for losing games. “We weren’t executing like we were supposed to, we strayed completely away from our game tonight,” Johnson said Saturday. “(It) doesn’t matter who we’re playing, we need to come out the same way every single night. We know our strategy and we know our game plan and we just need to stick to what we know.” OSU’s Friday win snapped a six-game losing streak. Junior forward Tyler Lundey and sophomore forward Nick Schilkey tallied the goals for the Buckeyes. “I liked the end result, but I didn’t feel we started out great,” Rohlik said. “We are just scratching the surface. It’s a big win for our team. Anytime you can walk away with a win, it’s a huge boost to the confidence.”

Webb, whom some expected to redshirt in 2014, did not do so and appeared in nine games as a freshman, collecting three tackles. Another candidate is sophomore Erick Smith, who appeared in 13 games as a freshman and totaled 13 tackles to go along with an interception against Kent State. Whoever replaces Doran Grant will have big shoes to fill, and will likely be tested early and often. Returning starters:

Key losses: Odd man out: Projected starters:

Eli Apple Vonn Bell Tyvis Powell Doran Grant Armani Reeves (injury) Gareon Conley Apple, Damon Webb, Bell, Powell

The Buckeye defense is set to test its changes against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va.

The rolling confidence started out strong for the Buckeyes as they came into Saturday’s game, taking the lead early in the first period. But they were unable to hold on to the lead, going into the third period tied, 2-2. The Badgers added a third goal to thwart OSU’s attempt at a series sweep. Rohlik said the fast start might have been more of a hindrance than a positive. “It hurt us scoring the early goal because we just weren’t the same after that,” he said. “Even getting up 2-1, our execution tonight was off. We didn’t take care of the puck.” The Buckeyes will look to restart this week in practice ahead of a home-and-home series against Michigan on Friday and Sunday. “Now it’s just focusing on getting better; next week we have to continue to grind and get better. We have to fix our flaws that came out this weekend and start moving in the right direction,” Johnson said.

than any other all-star game in any other sport. The fans who want the flair get it, and the fans who want to see legitimate skill put to the test get that. In the NFL, there is nothing of note except the actual game when it comes to the Pro Bowl, and that’s nearly unwatchable. But in the NBA, the players clearly try in the three-point shootout and the dunk contest, displaying real ability that sets them apart from their peers. So, sure, the showmanship and fashion statements make it seem like a joke, but for those looking for a bit of Sunday morning entertainment, a recording of the NBA All-Star Saturday Night isn’t a bad option. As for the game itself on Sunday, it’s basically a free-flowing version of Saturday night, which, let’s be honest, isn’t that far off of what a regular season NBA game looks like, anyway.

shots we wanted and I had some saves in there, so it was a good performance.” Myers said he is confident in his goalie and feels he’s fitting in with the Buckeye defense. “Tom made his third start and I think he’s getting more comfortable. For Tom right now, he’s part of a seven-man unit and we are starting to come together more defensively. He did his job,” Myers said. The Buckeyes will look to keep their balanced momentum as they are set to take on Dartmouth on Saturday. Even with the two wins under their belts, coach Myers said he’s still looking for his players to improve with each game. “We have to get better. We know right now we are a long way from where we want to be. In February, it’s a balance of preparing for your opponent but also trying to get significantly better week-to-week and we’re excited to have a full week now (of practice),” Myers said. “It’s been three games in eight days, so now we can get our legs back, focus on us first and then focus on Dartmouth.”

opinion Grandma and her heart remain after Alzheimer’s diagnosis Sallee Ann Ruibal Lantern reporter ruibal.1@osu.edu You hear conflicting comments when a loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s. Some people say, “She’s still your granny.” Others say, “It’s not her anymore, it’s the disease.” Both are right, but as someone whose grandmother has Alzheimer’s, neither provides much clarity or comfort. The fact that one in six women at age 65 will develop Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association website, isn’t too comforting either. I could sit here and worry every day about whether my mama will forget our memories, too. I could worry about whether she’ll end up staring blankly at me, forgetting my name and our relation. I could worry endlessly about the same thing happening to my brain. I could also sit here and try to tell you what it’s like to be around my granny. I could say it’s frustrating and heartbreaking, which it is. This isn’t my story, though. My granny can’t tell you about herself, but I can. Allee Bonner was born in 1932. Her father died when she was young and her mother worked a lot as a nurse. She had a brother named Harry. The only bad grade Allee ever got in school was an “F+” in choir for talking too much. She met Joe Hamilton on a blind date and they were married in 1952. They’ve been together ever since.

And only recently has she stopped excessively chitchatting. My granny was the kind of lady who had friends everywhere, from grocery store aisles to church pews. Her friends ask about her all of the time and bring her homemade cookies and brownies. My granny used to make cookies — chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, sandies — by t he hundreds. She would count every single one as she carefully arranged them in empty ice cream buckets. I miss those cookies. I miss having hour-long conversations with my granny. I miss her wearing lipstick and blush and having her hair perfectly permed by her friend Tootsie. But a very essential part of my granny is still there. If you scold her for doing something wrong, like drinking from the salt shaker instead of a water glass, you can see fear and embarrassment in her eyes. When my mom told her and my granddaddy that I made honor roll, she cheered, “She’s a marvel!” When nurses talked about what the “next step” is for her, she cried. The lipstick might be gone and the cookies might be store-bought now, but that’s OK, because my granny and her heart are still here. She might not remember my name or all the stories we shared. But that’s OK. Because I know my granny.

TEDxOhioStateUniversity engages students, crafts the human narrative Noah Toumert Lantern reporter toumert.3@osu.edu The fourth annual TEDxOhioStateUniversity event was a success. This year, the lineup of esteemed speakers focused on a central theme of “The Human Narrative.” TEDxOSU offered its stage for people to share ideas, stories and performances. The welcome pamphlets heralded it as “an afternoon of learning, communitybuilding and innovation.” The event did not disappoint. The event’s participants explored the human narrative through their different walks of life that matched their personal

styles. Some spoke monologues with slideshows in the background, while others recited poetry. Elijah Palnik, a resident musician and audio/ video specialist staff member in the Department of Dance, fused technology and rhythm as he looped himself playing the guitar, beatboxing and drumming a rendition of Paul Simon’s “Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes.” Some speeches had a different tone, though: Mike Pavlik, a third-year in political science, didn’t expect the seriousness of many of the speeches he heard. “There were a lot of subjects that people like to dust under the rug and not worry about,” Pavlik said. Nikki Vojacek, a third-year in women’s, gender and sexuality studies, raved about student Marisa McGrath’s story about how feminism saved her life after being sexually

assaulted at the end of her freshman year at OSU. “She did such a good job casting the right light on feminism,” Vojacek said. “It’s so common for people, girls specifically, to distance themselves from the word because it’s almost taboo. But it was empowering to watch a girl reclaim the word and use it to help her recover from something so horrible.” Vojacek said she was enthralled by all the speeches and performances, but related more to certain ones than others. She attributed that to her place in the narrative. Each and every speaker tied their story into the grander narrative of humanity. They offered wisdom and special experiences to bring people together and showed that although we experience life as individuals, we are all a part of something bigger.
