Gates Foundation CEO returns to Columbus as Spring Commencement speaker SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Campus Editor cartwright.117@osu.edu Sue Desmond-Hellmann knows what it feels like to be unprepared for a pop quiz. Like the surprise tests many students at Ohio State might not be prepared for, the most recent exam she failed was in finance. But the pop quiz wasn’t in a class. Or in college. It happened in her adult life, around the time she began acting as the chief financial officer for one of the largest cancer technology companies in the country. That feeling she and so many felt going into a test unprepared in a subject that should’ve been known stays with her as a lesson, she said — and as a bit of comedic relief. “It was horrifying,” Desmond-Hellmann said laughing while recalling one of her biggest F’s. “I could talk about science and medicine all day long, but I kept hearing words like ‘earning for share’ and ‘MPD.’ You just have a whole grasp of new acronyms that I’ve never even heard of.” Desmond-Hellmann has a few acronyms of her own, though, including CEO, MD and MPH. After failing the test, she asked members of the finance department to come up with a list of financial terms and practices she could learn to improve as a leader. Now the CEO of a $40-bil-
lion-endowed charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Desmond-Hellmann knows her way around finance, especially when the money she manages can save thousands of lives. The gig came in 2013 on Halloween — the only night Desmond-Hellmann, then-chancellor of University of California San Francisco, and the Gates’ could work in their schedules. Although she did not see Bill Gates dressed as a Pokemon or as Eleven from “Stranger Things,” she did see something that made her want to take charge of the finances for the richest people in the world’s organization. She saw a family. “When I first got to the house, nobody was there. They were all out trick-or-treating,” Desmond-Hellmann said. “I remember sitting down on the couch and chatting with Bill and the whole evening being populated by kids coming in and out, and trick-ortreaters coming in and out. It just had this atmosphere that in retrospect was just right, as a family business.” That welcoming atmosphere also came paired with a passion Desmond-Hellmann has had since she was a college student. Since she was in her 20s entering the world of medicine, Desmond-Hellmann has always wanted to help people, especially when the means aren’t there for them to find help alone.

Ohio State enrolls fewer students from the states Appalachian counties than it did a decade ago. It also enrolls fewer students from the 10 most populous counties combined. The university’s in-state enrollment has remained stagnant over the past 10 years as Ohio State takes in a growing amount of out-of-state and international students. A Lantern analysis of Ohio State’s past 10 years of enrollment data shows Ohio high school graduates represent nearly 12 percent fewer incoming firstyear students in 2017 than they did a decade before. In 2008, almost 82 percent of freshmen came from the Buckeye State, but in 2017 that number dropped to 70 percent. Over the same period, this dip is paired with firstyears from outside the U.S. doubling from 4 percent to more than 8 percent. Out-of-state freshmen jumped from 14.5 percent to almost 22 percent. Keith Gehres, Ohio State’s director for outreach and recruitment, joined the university as an in-state recruiter in 2003, and while he said he has noticed several changes in the student body, none of them particularly alarm him.

He was instructed in 2015 by Ohio State’s Board of Trustees and University President Michael Drake to follow a strategic enrollment plan, which he called “the North Star in our recruitment efforts.” That “North Star” is guiding his office farther and farther from the state of Ohio. “As the flagship institution and also with being charged with meeting all the various university enrollment goals, there’s a balance where we can’t only focus on in-state students,” Gehres said. “We’re focusing on out-of-state and students from around the world.” The goal is for out-of-state and international students to account for 35 percent of the university’s incoming first-year class by 2020, Gehres said. In 2017, non-Ohio residents comprised 29.9 percent of the freshman class.

A look into some of Ohio State’s most beloved traditions TERESA CARDENAS Senior Lantern reporter cardenas.53@osu.edu Imagine walking across The Oval to class when someone you dislike crosses your path, yanks something out of your hand and breaks it. This act — what some would call a “mugging” — doesn’t necessarily happen in 2018 at Ohio State, but it was actually a tradition of sorts near the time of this university’s beginning. Like most universities in the late 1800s, Ohio State had a strong sense of seniority and class comradery. Each class donned its own set of colors. Each class lived every day to compete against each other. Most of the competitions were focused around sports and academics, where classes tried to score more points or get better grades than the others. Sometimes, the formalities fell apart and upperclassmen chose to haze freshmen on campus. This mugging of sorts is only one of hundreds of traditions that have settled into the lives of Ohio State students, but traditions can be fleeting. Sometimes, only few

Generally, each tradition is recognized at its best but is almost always forgotten at its worst. The origins of a tradition The word “tradition” takes on many forms. Kevlin Haire, assistant university archivist suggested this can include events and gatherings, but also songs like Ohio State’s alma mater “Carmen Ohio,” physical representations such as Ohio State’s first building, University Hall, or the football team’s long-standing rivalry with the University of Michigan.
The definition varies depending on the experience and the time period, but the central theme of a tradition is to connect students, alumni and the university. Commencement is one example of a university-driven tradition, which is also one of the oldest and most consistent that students over the years have witnessed. A set of bells were first introduced by the class of 1915 as a means of reflection. Following a decade of student fundraising, Orton Hall was topped with the TRADITIONS CONTINUES ON 3

An Ohio State office that supports survivors of sexual assault and violence is undergoing a review that has halted its services and spread the counseling to other entities. But this act is leaving many wondering why the university paused the office altogether, and when it will return. Ohio State’s Sexual Civility and Empowerment Office was initially put under review in the middle of February, accord-
ing to multiple students who worked within the office as advocates and support staff. The office runs sexual assault prevention programming such as “Buck-I-Care About Consent” and provides support resources such as counseling, reporting and student conduct-related services. The university said in the statement that other offices and services such as Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio (SARNCO), a rape crisis intervention program in Columbus, and Counseling and Consultation Service are working to provide care for any students who contact SCE during the review. There is no indication on specific reasons why the office is under review or when the review will be complete.

Wexner Medical Center departures: ‘The issue here is about culture’ KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Editor-in-Chief stankiewicz.16@osu.edu SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Campus Editor cartwright.117@osu.edu OWEN DAUGHERTY Assistant Campus Editor daugherty.260@osu.edu Since January 2017, at least 10 high-ranking employees — from department chairs to business leaders — have left Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center for jobs elsewhere, five of whom were among those that signed letters in May 2017 criticizing the medical center’s culture under then-CEO Sheldon Retchin’s leadership. A prominent signee to depart is John Campo, who, along with his wife Rhonda Campo, left in March to join West Virginia
University’s medical enterprise. John Campo was the medical center’s director of psychiatry and behavioral health and Rhonda Campo is the associate executive director of business development. Both will have heightened roles in West Virginia. In an interview with The Lantern, John Campo said the decision to move on from Ohio State wasn’t taken lightly by anyone who has left, but added that he believed the university did not adequately address the concerns expressed in the letters. “I think that the university missed an opportunity to hear what I think were very sincere concerns by the folks who wrote those letters,” Campo said. “We were reaching out to [University] President [Michael] Drake and the leadership to say we’re concerned that we’re losing our way. “I think more listening and less concern about the public-relations impact of the letters probably would have been prudent.”

OSU makes waves with Pell coverage, iPad announcements SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Campus Editor cartwright.117@osu.edu Ohio State will cover the full cost of tuition for in-state, undergraduate Columbus campus students eligible for Pell Grants and Ohio College Opportunity Grants — as well as those who come from households that make Ohio’s median income of $55,000 or less — starting Autumn 2018, University President Michael Drake announced Sept. 26. An estimated 3,500 undergraduate students on Ohio State’s main campus are eligible for the tuition coverage, according to university data. It’s estimated that the total cost each year for Ohio State to cover these students’ tuition is $11 million. The 2018 academic year will be a pilot for the program, Drake said, and there will not be a set amount of funding determined until the class of 2022 is enrolled. All students who meet the requirements are eligible, not just those incoming to Ohio State in 2018. Additionally, every incoming freshmen at all Ohio State campuses will receive a 10.5-inch, 256GB iPad Pro from the university — for free — beginning in Autumn

From pruning shrubs to PhD One Buckeye’s decades-long journey to a degree, and continuing his education to give back SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Campus Editor cartwright.117@osu.edu To describe Luther Nolan as a gentle giant would be much too simple. Yes, he stands about 6-foot-4 and has a thick build, but his work in academia pushes him past the overused phrase and into a whole new ballpark. A level not only filled with great students, but great workers, great friends and great mentors. The 40-year-old father has worked at Ohio State as a groundskeeper for 16 years, but his time at the university began a few years prior as a student. His education started then, and it still continues today. Because on May 6, like nearly 12,000 other students, Luther will be graduating. But this degree isn’t his first from Ohio State, nor will it be his last. Because for Luther, education doesn’t stop. And neither will the time he puts into giving back to the university he’s been a part of for nearly half his life. If his stature and build don’t immediately set him apart from the typical student, his bright orange sweatshirt, fluffy beard and tan work overalls will. Or, his soft-spoken nature and curiosity for culture and passion for learning will. Maybe his orange construction vehicle he drives from work to class will. Regardless of what one sees, it’s evident the student-groundskeeper who typically works more than 40 hours each week while keeping up with coursework as a nearly full-time student and father, is different. Good different. Kind different. Compassionate different. Joe Yarchak calls Luther a “Renaissance man.” “He knows a little bit about everything,” said Joe, who has been working as an Ohio State groundskeeper for about one year less than Luther. Joe said Luther is somebody who is “knowledgeable, logical, open-minded, and plays devil’s advocate to make you think.” The crew works constantly year-round, even if it’s cold. “We still prune, clean beds. There’s all kinds of things we could be doing,” he said. “We’re always busy.” A scruffy man with expertise in pruning, Joe explained just how complex his and Luther’s work can be.

Luther Nolan, 47, has worked for the university as a groundskeeper since 2001.
“Any person can mow, but not any person can mow correctly,” he said. Anything that could potentially block a student from their education bothers Luther, which is a reason he’s stayed on the job for so long. He too knows just how defeating a figurative or literal bump in the road can be. With one year left before completing his first undergraduate degree, in anthropology, his path approached a big, figurative bump. “I had one more class left to take, but due to an illness I couldn’t take the class,” Luther said. “And that was all I needed to graduate.” Because of student loans, the illness and classes that compiled together, he decided to work and earn money to put toward his savings. A decade and then some passed until one day, he paid off a large loan and decided to enroll in that one class he never finished. He walked to Denny Hall, and said the adviser didn’t believe it when he told her he only had that class to take before graduating. She found that he was right. And he graduated in 2013 with an anthropology degree. His spring 2018 undergraduate schedule regularly consisted of work, class, work, homework, rest for an hour, taking care of his daughter, homework, sleeping for a little, repeat. “My schedule is so busy, with the classes and LUTHER CONTINUES ON 4

bells that rang to signify every class change. Today, students hear it strike every quarter of the hour and chime every hour in numerical accordance. Another group-centric tradition began in 2005, when student organization Ohio Staters began to hold its annual Light Up the Lake. Members would spend the last week of classes during Autumn Semester and cover the trees around Mirror Lake with white lights. The first lighting of the year would fall at the beginning of finals. For the rest of the term and into the next, students could walk through Mirror Lake Hollow led by the lights that streamed above. Once construction began on Mirror Lake in October 2016, the tradition was revised and held at the recently renovated North Campus. On the other end, some traditions were introduced by one person, Brutus Buckeye being one of the most memorable. Man-made changes to traditions: Mirror Lake jump The specific origins are unknown, but sometime around 1991, students began jumping into Mirror Lake one night during the week before the Michigan football game. It is said that the jump would bring back the spirit of former Ohio State football head coach Woody Hayes, which would give the team good luck for its upcoming match. In time, it evolved into a wild display of debauchery. Students would enter the water with little to no clothing at the end of a cold November

night and it often ended in trips to the hospital for pneumonia, sprained ankles or cuts to students’ feet. This jump resulted in tragedy when Austin Singletary, a second-year business student, died. As a recent transfer, he was unaware of the shallow depth of the water and fatally injured himself when he dove in. With the tragedy came the end of the jump. Traditions connecting to the future Without alumni, persistent traditions like the Cane Rush wouldn’t have been able to continue for as long as they did. Traditions were passed down between classes, and this connected current students to recent graduates. Craig Little, director of alumni societies for the Alumni Association, said traditions might change over time, but their purpose of connecting past, present and future students will always hold true. Ohio State is home to more than 50,000 students each year and it still has the capability to foster traditions and connections between its students. “I’m glad we haven’t gotten so big or so focused on our own thing that students can’t come together and experience something in common with each other,” Haire said. “Whether it’s something that’s related to a small group or something that’s related to a bigger part of the population,” as Haire said, traditions continue to have a home at Ohio State.

my [8-year-old] daughter. When I get off work today, I get the chance to rest for like an hour and a half, then we go to ballet. Then I’m going to a concert, it’s an Andean music concert/ Peruvian music concert, and I think they’re going to have some Peru musicians actually play Andean music, I believe, which I think would be incredible to hear,” he said in January during an afternoon break. Throughout his decades-long Ohio State journey, Luther never second-guessed himself. “I never doubted my ability to do it,” he said, referring to the second undergraduate degree he will soon earn. “In fact, I have some good news,” Luther said, smiling. In the same snowy second semester week that he worked 20 hours in one day, Luther was accepted into his doctoral program of choice. He will continue working at Ohio State in Autumn 2018
as a groundskeeper and continue his education to earn a doctorate in Latin American studies. While he could have stopped his studies five years ago, or could have planned to stop his studies in May, there wasn’t any urge to stop. Because to Luther, life is essentially a time to learn as much as possible about as much as anyone can. “Education is growth. It’s sharing. It’s cooperation. It’s expanding your viewpoint and helping other people expand theirs. “It’s a community,” he said. “I don’t separate it from any other life experience because it’s constant. If you’re not learning, if you’re not continuing your education everyday somehow, you’re in a stalemate. “I’m happy where I ended up and I’m excited to see where I am going.” JOIN THE CONVERSATION

tor one year after AIDS was defined by the Centers for Disease Control. The epidemic hit hardest in big cities like San Francisco, where she had just began her work as a doctor. San Francisco was basically an epicenter for the disease, and in 1981, not a lot was known on how to treat it, and what would happen to medical professionals that tried to treat it. “It wasn’t clear as a caregiver, whether or not you could get AIDS from being a caregiver,” she said. “As young physicians, we were enrolled in a trial and they would draw our blood to see if we had acquired AIDS on the job. “It had a profound impact on me as a caregiver. No one should be faced with such an early death. That sense that you were personally at risk was really weird.” Getting treated for AIDS in the ‘80s also was much different for patients, specifically gay men. “You had to have two conversations [with your parents],” Desmond-Hellmann said, referring to what her patients had to go through on top of treatment. “Conversation one was ‘I have AIDS’ and conversation two was, ‘You didn’t know this before, but I’m gay.’” She said she saw how much a negative stigma can get in the way of proper medical and health care. “People felt like they had to hide that they had AIDS,” Desmond-Hellmann said, a secret she called the saddest thing she ever came across in her line of work.
The threat of catching the disease never led to Desmond-Hellmann questioning her job, or the people she treated. “That was why I signed up as a physician: to help people that were suffering,” she said. Her work to combat AIDS and HIV led her to become one of the first experts in specialized care in treating the sarcoma that pairs with the disease. It also led her to Uganda, where she began work in a war-torn country with little resources to help its citizens. “Everything from running water, electricity, roads, was in disarray. Nothing worked in Uganda,” Desmond-Hellmann said. “When we got there, a lot of things that we thought we would do from a research perspective turned into much more service.” Getting used to the minimal technological and medical advances wasn’t the only thing Desmond-Hellmann had to prepare herself for. She’d never been out of the country before going to Uganda. In fact, the furthest east she’d ever traveled was during her residency in a Midwestern city — Columbus. In Columbus, she made two great discoveries. One, learning in-depth the practice of cardiology at Ohio State’s medical center. The other, that Columbus is home — and a very quick walk from campus — to what would become a beloved fast-food chain to her: Wendy’s. “They were doing a beta test of breakfast. So my main meal everyday was to go to Wendy’s
and eat their breakfast and get as many calories as I could to sustain me because I was very poor and had no money,” she said. While her love for Wendy’s might have changed a bit — she’s known for being incredibly healthy, getting up at the crack of dawn and running 5 miles every day — her passion for higher education, and helping students who are soon-to-be alumni find inspiration has been consistent. At Ohio State, she will take part in one of a student’s and family’s most memorable events. “There are few things in life that are as happy as graduation,” she said. “It’s all about celebration.” But until then, Desmond-Hellmann said she’ll be studying. “I take this very seriously and I spend a lot of time thinking about what I want the students to hear from me and try to put myself in their shoes,” she said. Unlike that finance pop quiz, it seems like she’s taking her material very seriously. Because unlike that paper test, she’ll be giving a speech to thousands of people on their happiest day in one of the nation’s largest stadiums. And she plans to pass with flying colors.

OSU’s counseling fails to meet international standards, university announces mental health task force SHERIDAN HENDRIX John R. Oller Reporter hendrix.87@osu.edu

SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Campus Editor cartwright.117@osu.edu University President Michael Drake sent students an email Friday, April 13, outlining Ohio State’s new mental health task force, namely its purpose in determining what university services are doing well and what services can improve. A review by The Lantern found CCS fails to meet the minimum international standard for recommended professional staff members providing campus mental health services. The International Association of Counseling Services Inc., an accreditation association for higher education counseling services, recommends campus mental health centers maintain a ratio of one professional full-time staff member to every 1,000 to 1,500 students for overall campus well-being. Ohio State has 36 full-time staff members who fall in line with IACS standards, meaning its staff-to-student ratio is one mental health professional for every 1,662 students. The university had 59,837 students enrolled at the Columbus campus in Autumn Semester of 2017. With almost 60,000 students enrolled, the university should have between 40 and 60 full-time senior staff

members, by IACS standards. A little more than one day after a former student fell from the same garage one student fell from days before, University President Michael Drake announced April 9 the creation of a task force to improve Ohio State’s mental health practices and resources. University administrators and student leaders began meeting April 19 to address the concern for adequate mental health resources at Ohio State and review whether a restructuring of garages is needed There will be four current students on the 10-person task force: Shamina Merchant, the Undergraduate Student Government president; Ziv Bell a graduate student studying psychology; and Sarah Gartner is a third-year in professional medicine and Jordan Moseley, the undergraduate member of Ohio State’s Board of Trustees.
KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Editor-in-Chief stankiewicz.16@osu.edu Ohio State has suspended all activities for Interfraternity Council chapters, effective immediately, the university said Thursday in a letter to IFC presidents. Eleven fraternity chapters have been investigated this semester by Ohio State for violations of the code of student conduct. Dave Isaacs, a spokesman for the Office of Student Life, told The Lantern the majority of conduct investigations involve hazing and alcohol. “The university will not tolerate behavior that puts the health and safety of its students at risk,” Isaacs said in a statement. For now, the suspension includes all chapter activities. Chapter presidents are responsible for submitting a list of “essential activities” by Nov. 20 to the university. Those lists are then reviewed by the university and need approval before activities continue. “Until then, you are not to engage in any activities,” the letter from Ryan Lovell, the university’s senior director for sorority and

fraternity life, read. One by one, fraternities at Ohio State have been slapped with various sanctions this semester as part of the university’s increased crack down on Greek life. Ohio State decided to punish all IFC chapters, not just those being investigated for conduct violations. “When individual members or organizations fail to live up to the standards and values set forth by the university, your chapters and your international organizations, the entire Greek community suffers,” Lovell wrote. The university said conduct by Greek fraternities has become concerning, with 11 out of 37 IFC chapters either under investigation or have been investigated this semester. Isaacs said this is the most cases the university has investigated in recent years. Lovell called it “an unacceptably high number.” “This action will allow the IFC community to pause to reflect and create individual, actionable strategies to ensure that the culture of their organization is aligned with the stated values of Ohio State’s Greek community, responsibilities outlined in the university’s Code of Student Conduct and expectations of their respective national or international organization,” Isaacs said.

Ohio State student Sahil Sharma is legally blind, but spends his time mastering a craft that relies on the eyes.
Born and raised a true ’90s kid, Sahil Sharma had an unusual infatuation with disposable cameras at only 5 years old. But unlike anyone he knew, his joy came from taking photos of others, never of himself. At around the same age, however, Sharma was diagnosed with conerod retinal dystrophy, a noncorrectional vision impairment caused by a twisted retina. Sharma said the condition could be described as extreme near-sightedness.
Now, nearly two decades later, Sharma has maintained a strong love for photography, despite the issues his disability might have caused along the way. As a fifth-year studying psychology, he said his passion stems from a love for people. “My vision really has nothing to do with my photography,” Sharma said. “It’s about working with the person you’re with and capturing that moment. I can’t see super detailed features, but if I take photo of you then go on the computer and edit it, it’s like I’m learning what people look like.” Now self-labeled as “The Blind Photographer,” Sharma said photog-
raphy has helped his vision in ways he never thought possible, boosting his self-confidence and allowing him to be more open about his impairment. “I’ve been doing this all on my own, all on my own time, all ahead of my own, creative, artistic desire to help others and put art out there,” said Sharma. “Just to make myself have representation because there’s no representation for people [with disabilities]. It’s time for everybody to [make] their mark on the world, whatever that may look like.”

Ohio State athletes compete without meat
COURTESY OF OHIO STATE ATHLETICS
Samuel DeWitt, a fourth-year in environmental policy, has been eating vegetarian while continuing his routine as a gymnast at Ohio State. SARA STACY Assistant Arts & Life Editor stacy.118@osu.edu Eleanor Harvey’s 12th year was a big one — it was the year she started fencing, and it was the year she decided to go vegan. The fifth-year in psychology finished first in the 2016 NCAA Fencing Championships and competed in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, all while maintaining a plant-based diet. “I feel like if anything [a vegan diet] helps me because you have to be super aware all the time of what you’re eating, you can’t just like pig out on a random thing placed in front of you,” Harvey said. Many athletes need to pay special attention to their diets to remain physically fit, which can result in scrutiny when choosing to eliminate protein from animal sources. “It just shows that you don’t need meat
to be a successful athlete,” Harvey said. “When I’m at a competition I’m never the one that’s more tired, it’s usually the other person.” Ohio State gymnast Samuel DeWitt, a fourth-year in environmental policy, isn’t vegan but has been a vegetarian for six months, requiring him to derive many of his nutrients from plant-based sources. DeWitt has yet to compete while on his new diet. However, he isn’t concerned about his potential performance because, like Harvey, he has felt more energetic since making the switch. “People freak out over the fact that you don’t eat meat. I’ve found that most people that are vegetarian or vegan typically know how to handle that and it’s not as big of a deal for them as people think it is,” DeWitt said.

Nation’s first social justice park to open in Columbus
@TheLantern
PUBLISHED OCT. 31
An Ode to Too’s
EMMA STEELE Senior Lantern reporter steele.849@osu.edu Columbus’ First Congregational Church United Church of Christ broke ground in late March on what it is calling the nation’s first social justice park. Set to open in August and located downtown at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and East Broad Street, the Washington Gladden Social Justice Park will emphasize the continuum of social justice in our country’s future rather than one particular issue from history, said the Rev. Dr. Tim Ahrens, the church’s senior minister. “[Our park] is focused more generally and to the future on changing the world in a way that makes it fair and equitable for all people. It’s not celebrating one point or movement in history only; it’s celebrating the work throughout history that has changed the world,” Ahrens said. To set it apart from traditional parks, the 18,000-square-foot L-shaped space will feature art created by women, people of color and other groups who have faced injustices. An area reserved for training youth in nonviolent civil disobedience, a main “Pathway of Justice” with quotes from his-

torical social advocates like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and many other installments are planned, Ahrens said. “The focus is trying to bring people together so the park itself will not take a particular view on a social issue,” Worley said. “[The purpose is] to bring awareness [to social injustice] and allow the community to decide for itself what actions to take next and to help facilitate engagement so that people will know how to get involved on an issue that may concern them.”

It is the end of an era. Despite its reincarnation in the form of Three’s Above High, which opened during the summer under the same ownership, the closure of Too’s was a sorrowful moment for Ohio State students and alumni everywhere. Too’s was a glorified cellar, a dirty, scrubby place with dim lighting that couldn’t completely mask the grime. That’s what gave it character. In the past couple of years, shiny new bars popped up on High Street in the immediate vicinity of Too’s. However, this didn’t detract from Too’s’ customer base. If anything, this turned Too’s into a time capsule — while everything around it was constantly changing, Too’s remained the same.
You didn’t go to Too’s because you wanted a kale açaí smoothie bowl and a cocktail shaken with activated charcoal. You went to Too’s because you wanted to douse your friends and everyone around them in tidal wave shots and listen to acoustic covers of your favorite songs from middle school. The opening of Three’s softens the closure of Too’s, but there are several reasons that Three’s will never provide the same experience. You can’t just manifest a dive bar at its inception. A dive bar only becomes a dive bar after decades of wear and tear, sheets of stickiness and crust, layers of graffiti and carvings, which is why we must now protect Out-R-Inn at all costs. So, Too’s, we salute you. Thanks for sticking around until you were forced to leave, thanks for letting us come inside you one last time, and thanks for the memories. Cheers.

COURTESY OF ZANE OSLER
Zane Osler moved to the East side of Columbus a year and a half ago where he was inspired to create “The East Side Project.”
Zane Osler has taken photos around the world in astounding places like Fiji and Barcelona, but it wasn’t until he moved to the east side of Columbus that he created his most meaningful body of work. For the past year and a half, Osler has been working on “The East Side,” a book of black-and-white street photography portraits taken of people in their day-to-day lives from the King-Lincoln District, a
neighborhood Osler felt was underrepresented in the Columbus area. “When I moved here, I started interacting with the people and children from this neighborhood and I realized how special this place was,” he said. Osler said he was immediately touched by the culture of his neighborhood, and as he began compiling the portraits of the people he met, he wanted to share their stories in a way that would live forever. “At first I wanted to do maybe a gallery show or an exhibition and then I realized the work was too important and I thought it

It’s the story of our neighborhood.” Osler described street photography as making ordinary moments in people’s lives extraordinary. He said the ultimate reward of taking these photos has been the relationships he formed and being able to provide his community with something meaningful. “They provided me with some of the best photographs I’ve ever taken,” he said. “In return, I get to show them and their neighborhood in a way they want to be shown.”

With less than 30 seconds remaining and a 1-1 score, Coon surprised Snyder with an attempt to shoot. What followed was a counter by Snyder in the form of a slide takedown, ensuring a victory despite a late Coon point for an escape. Snyder leaves behind a legacy that is unmatched. Three national championships, three Big Ten championships, four All-American distinctions and a team NCAA title, three team conference titles and two Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year awards. Snyder wrestled only 13 matches during Ohio State’s 2017-2018 campaign this
season due to his international schedule, amassing a 12-1 record to bring his career collegiate record to 75-5. That only leaves one question to ask upon his exit from college wrestling. “The greatest of all time,” Ohio State head coach Tom Ryan said. “This is a guy that was doing double duty. He was overseas winning world championships while also winning national championships. Unheard of. There has not been a wrestler like him in my opinion at this point in his career.”

1997 and chose to play for the Gophers’ women’s hockey program in its inaugural season. She became one of the most decorated athletes in Minnesota history and was the first women’s hockey player inducted into the university athletics hall of fame. Muzerall chose not to join a nationally recognized program. She built the foundation for Minnesota women’s hockey as a player on the university’s inaugural team, then as a coach. She wanted to do the same at Ohio State. Now in her second year as head coach, Muzerall is tearing down and redeveloping a forlorn program on pace to have the winningest season in program history through implementing pillars that define the winning culture to which she is accustomed. “I wanted to build something instead of just being another number,” Muzerall said. “So now when I take my baby girl into Ridder Arena where the Gophers play, I can show her all the banners that mummy helped hang and I can take pride in that because I was there from the jump along with my recruiting class versus just being another number. So, now I look at OSU, and I don’t think of all the crap that happened before, it’s in the rearview mirror.” It’s perhaps the most unforeseen program turnaround at Ohio State in a decade. It’s exactly what had to happen.

Early-season woes fail to slow Ohio State to Frozen Four WYATT CROSHER Senior Lantern reporter crosher.1@osu.edu Before the season began, there were no signs that this Ohio State men’s hockey team would succeed in doing something only one other team in the program’s history had ever done. There were no signs following a season-opening 7-4 exhibition loss to Ryerson and two 1-1 ties with an RPI team that went 6-274 that this Ohio State team would eventually dominate the defending national champions end-toend for 60 minutes on the way to the Frozen Four. There were no signs. Yet, the Buckeyes came two wins from capturing their first-ever national championship. “I’d love to see your guys’ brackets and who you guys picked,” junior forward Dakota Joshua said. “Not a lot of people had us coming out of this side. So, it just feeds our game and helps us play better for sure. But hopefully people know who we are now.” It’s safe to say people know what Ohio State is now: a team that dispensed a Princeton squad that came in winning seven in a row and a team that beat Denver, which spent seven weeks as the top-ranked team in college hock-

Ohio State redshirt junior goalie Sean Romeo (30) saves a Wisconsin shot in the third period on the game on Feb. 23, in the Schottenstein Center. Ohio State won the game 6-2. ey, by a resounding score of 5-1. “We just played one of the best teams in the country,” head coach Steve Rohlik said after the game. “Defending national champs, they’ve been rated one or two all year. Any time you can go out there and go toe-to-toe and put in a good effort … it feels pretty good.” The Buckeyes were back in the Frozen Four, a place they hadn’t been since 1998, where they were quickly shown the door in a 5-2 beatdown by Boston College. It might have taken 20 years to return, but Ohio State showed it deserved the top seed in the Midwest region.
Just a year removed from its last tournament run, Ohio State had the nation’s top penalty kill, while ranking in the top 10 in team offense, team defense and power play. There were no signs of this from a team that lost every goalie on the roster, as well as its star forward, to graduation during the offseason. There were no signs that this Ohio State team would turn a 1-3-3 home record into the second-best home record in the conference at 13-4-3 and the second Frozen Four appearance in program history.

It wasn’t from anything that was said during the August 2016 meeting. She just couldn’t believe the sadness and dejection coated on the faces of two of the most integral players she would inherit: defender Jincy Dunne and for-
ward Lauren Spring. “They looked sad and broken when they were asking some questions,” Muzerall said. “And I said, ‘That’s ridiculous. If your college experience isn’t some of the greatest moments of your life, you’re missing out.’ I had the greatest experience in college and I didn’t want anybody to be robbed of that. I really wanted to get to know them.” The five-time national champion at Minnesota — once as a player and four times as an assistant coach — was a top recruit in W. HOCKEY CONTINUES ON 12

nior forward sat at the table in the media room of the Schottenstein Center announcing he would leave the team early for the NBA draft, he reflected on a tumultuous time in Columbus. One that began with promise, stalled out and returned to prominence in what became his final season in scarlet and gray. Though that 2014 recruiting class never came close to leading Ohio State to a championship, it laid the foundation for a strong program in the beginning of the Chris Holtmann era. “I think that’s the best feeling and kind of one of the best parts about all this,” Bates-Diop said. “Because like I said the last couple years have been down for Ohio State basketball and to do what we did and what I did individually and to kind of leave on that note is a bittersweet feeling, but it’s probably the best way to go.” After suffering a fractured leg nine games into the 2016-17 season, Bates-Diop became a star last season and was named Big Ten Player of the Year after averaging 19.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He played a key role in helping turn what could have been a rebuilding process into a quick rebound for Holtmann to build off. “The good ones here that we recruit as a coaching staff will all realize that they stand on the shoulders of those really good players that came before,” Holtmann said. “And I think he realized that and so did JT, and that’s why I think they felt an obligation in a lot of ways to kind of put this to make the program relevant again.”

The three-time Big Ten Player of the Year entered college a year after the Buckeyes went 17-18 and proceeded to lead them to four straight 24-plus win seasons. The greatest scorer in Ohio State history, Mitchell has made more field goals than anyone in program history and more 3-pointers than anyone in NCAA history. She has earned countless ovations for her dozens of accomplishments. So it was no surprise when the crowd at St. John Arena rose to its feet March 21 to send off one of the most accomplished players to ever don a scarlet and gray jersey. However, she wanted anything but the standing ovation St. John Arena gave her with 41 seconds remaining in her team’s game against Central Michigan. This time, it meant only one thing: Her career was over. When she was asked what passing former Missouri State guard Jackie Stiles and becoming the second all-time leading scorer in NCAA history with 3,402 career points, with tears in her eyes, Mitchell only had one thought. “We lost,” she said. This season was supposed to be Mitchell’s shot. With the Final Four being held in Columbus, the storybook was sitting on the

table, just waiting to be written. Mitchell and the Buckeyes had been bounced in the Sweet 16 the past two seasons, but a veteran-laden squad hoped to march through the Spokane Regional and make the program’s second-ever Final Four with a likely matchup against top-ranked Connecticut. “I think in the back of everybody’s mind, if you’re a part of our program, seize that moment and want to be back here for the Final Four,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think you’re a competitor if you’re not at least thinking about it in the back of your mind.” Instead of the fairy-tale ending, Mitchell’s career abruptly concluded. She quickly had to come to grips with the end of her career, something she always knew would come, but never wanted.

This is the real Ohio State team Kyle Snyder wins third national title, says bye to Ohio State COLIN HASS-HILL Sports Editor hass-hill.1@osu.edu
IOWA CITY, Iowa — After No. 6 Ohio State’s four blowout wins against Army, UNLV, Rutgers and Nebraska, and a crescendo of a 39-38 comeback win versus Penn State, everything that went wrong against Indiana and Oklahoma seemed to have been fixed. Calls for quarterback J.T. Barrett to be replaced had turned to chants for him to win the Heisman Trophy. A team that gave up 410 and 386 passing yards against Indiana and Oklahoma, respectively, had shored up its pass defense. The Buckeyes’ run defense and pass rush were good at the beginning of the season, and only improved as the weeks progressed. But as it turns out, nothing that worked against Penn State and in the Buckeyes’ three previous blowout wins worked against the Hawkeyes. “No I didn’t [see the loss coming],” head coach Urban Meyer said. “Going through that thought process right now and I did not.” Even if he did not have an inkling that the post-Penn State team would lay an egg in Iowa, Meyer should recognize the Ohio State team that showed up at Kinnick Stadium. It was the same team that entered halftime tied with Indiana and the same team that lost 31-16 to Oklahoma. Barrett reverted back to his prior form. Wide receivers did not make contested catches. Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley passed for five touchdowns. Even Ohio State’s run defense allowed running back Akrum Wadley to average 5.9 yards per carry on 20 rushes and the pass rush only resulted in a single sack,
offering Stanley ample time to survey his receivers. Against the Hawkeyes, the offense could not find the rhythm Meyer said the team was looking for after the Oklahoma loss. The defensive line could not pressure the quarterback enough to avoid the Hawkeyes picking on the Buckeyes’ weak links in the secondary.

Urban Meyer paces the sideline during the fourth quarter of the Ohio State-Iowa game on Nov. 4. Ohio State lost 55-24.
Just when most people thought the Buckeyes solved their seemingly never-ending problems on both sides of the ball, they resurfaced at the worst possible time. Ohio State lost not because it beat itself, which nearly happened last weekend against Penn State, but because Iowa won every phase of the game from the first to fourth quarter. The Buckeyes are a good team, not a great one, and they learned that the hard way against Iowa.
JEFF HELFRICH Senior Lantern reporter helfrich.37@osu.edu CLEVELAND — The NCAA wrestling championships were always going to be the Kyle Snyder show. Arguably the most famous wrestler in the world played host to college wrestling in the state he’s called home for four years at Ohio State. For three days, ESPN broadcasted from the Quicken Loans Arena. The sports network dedicated dozens of features to the Olympic gold medalist. The broadcasters discussed Snyder at times when he was nowhere near the mat. He gave them one hell of a finale. Closing out the championships, Snyder and Michigan’s Adam Coon met on mat
and stage amid 19,776 fans in Cleveland. Each of the 330 wrestlers who competed in the days before gathered in the arena to see the sport at its best. The Buckeye senior defeated Coon and left Ohio State and college wrestling with his third national championship. “I’ll look back at my career at Ohio State and just be thankful for not what I was able to achieve, but all the moments and camaraderie and experience I’ve had with my teammates and coaches and my improvement as a wrestler and as a man and my faith especially, all that’s grown so much,” Snyder said. “So that’s what I look back on.” Snyder’s final match with Coon was a 3-2, standoffish affair.
