Buckeyes are back

MASON SWIRES | ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR

Thousands of new and current students alike mingle at this year’s Buck-i-Frenzy in hopes of enjoying vendors from around the university area and to snag some of the always-welcomed free stuff.

A letter from the editor I cried the first time I was dropped off at Ohio State. The bustling crowds migrating north to south, east to west, building to building overwhelmed me. There are, after all, more than 65,000 of us. There are more than 12,000 courses to choose from. There are more than 1,000 student organizations. There are also seemingly endless spots of construction — building an even bigger and better OSU. It’s a lot. But that’s a good thing. It means OSU has a lot of opportunities.

Whether it’s your first, last, or somewhere-in-the-middle year here, relish all OSU has to offer. Take a class in barbecue science. Join a club that goes on ski trips or tap dances. Continue your passions and pursue new ones that you didn’t even know existed before. Every time we return to OSU, it’s a new start. There might be some tears, but there’s really nothing worth crying about. There’s everything to conquer. There’s everything to enjoy. And, yes, The Lantern will al-

ways be here to help keep you informed on all that is going on in this crazy big place. Welcome (back) to Ohio State. Sallee Ann Ruibal Editor in Chief, The Lantern

Students settle into North Campus NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu Greeted by blaring pop music, caffeine-hyped student move-in helpers and resident advisors — at 8 a.m., no less — students moved into the newly completed North Residential District on Saturday. The new set of residence halls and green space means a net increase of 3,200 beds compared to the old structures, said Office of Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs. The eight new residence halls are complemented by a dining hall and a gym. The total cost of the project, the construction of which started in summer 2013, was $370 million. The increase in beds comes as, for the first time in Ohio State’s history, both first-year and second-year students are required to live on campus as part of the Second-year Transformational Experience program. There are now roughly 14,000 students living on campus, compared to 11,000 last year. Despite the increase in students having to move-in, Isaacs said that the process went smoothly, minus a break that had to be taken on account of inclement weather. Isaacs said that his favorite part of the newly completed project was fulfilling what students needed and wanted from the space. He said the university used research to find out how and where stu-

dents liked to study and gather. “So you can be studying, with your headphones on, by yourself, but in a room full of people, to keep the social aspect,” Isaacs said of the design of some of the study rooms. Isaacs said that deliberateness in design was integral to the whole project. “It was all designed to feel like a community,” Isaacs said, as opposed to just a grouping of buildings. Jesse Wildman, a second-year in marketing, agreed. “It’s like walking around a city, or a neighborhood,” said Wildman, who lived in Norton House residence hall last year and is now in Bowen House. Brianna Wagner, a second-year in chemical engineering, said she liked her housing arrangement this year more than when she lived on South Campus as a first-year. “I feel like everything (you need) is all here,” said Wagner, who lives in Blackburn House. “I also really like the green space.” Isaacs said that 422 trees and over 4,000 shrubs helped contribute to a 157 percent increase in green space compared to before construction started. Greeting some of the students Saturday were Charles and Joyce Busch, relatives of Jon Busch, the namesake of newly completed Busch House residence hall. Jon was an OSU alumnus who died in the Vietnam War. Busch House

“We couldn’t imagine anything like this,” said Joyce Busch. “This is beautiful.” The Busch family said they were grateful that the memory of Jon Busch would be preserved. “This is vital,” said Joyce Busch. “Students will be going here … It kind of fills that void,” left by Jon Busch’s death. The hall hosts pictures and medals from Jon Busch’s time in the

military, which the family hoped would educate young people. “All of the things displayed here would just be in someone’s attic otherwise,” said Charles Busch.

North Recreation Center opens NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu The North Recreation Center opened to a line of students on Sunday eager to check out the newly constructed facility. The four-story gym is part of the newly completed North Residential District, a $370 million construction project that included eight new residence halls and a new dining facility. The North Recreation Center stands on the grounds of the old North Commons dining hall, which was demolished in the winter. The North Recreation Center wasn’t envisioned as a specific stand-alone gym, facility coordinator Kelly Shorter said, but rather part of the North Residential District as a whole. Although data wasn’t available yet for students swiping into the facility with their BuckIDs, Shorter told The Lantern on Monday that the gym has been a popular destination for students, in the two days it has been open. “So far, we’re seeing a lot (of students) from nearby residence halls,” Shorter said. “But we’re seeing a lot of staff come to check out the facility as well.”

Shorter also said that because of the equipment chosen for the facility, she expected students from across campus to use the space. “We can literally throw stones at residence halls,” Shorter said. “But we were very intentional about the pieces (of equipment) brought in.” The North Recreation Center is the only place on campus to have equipment from Humansport, a line of workout machines from Star Trac, and Synergy 360, from Life Fitness. Bryan French, a fourth-year in neuroscience, said as he was leaving his workout on Monday that he went to the North Recreation Center because it was conveniently located. “I also just wanted to check it out,” French said. “The lineup (of equipment) is pretty unique.” Luke Willman, a fourth-year in civil engineering, said he liked the setup, although he heard some people were confused about the layout. “Some people take issue with the (four-floor) set up,” Willman said, adding that it could make the facility seem cramped at times, since it differed from a more typical, spread-out layout. Despite some similar criticisms,

NICK ROLL | CAMPUS EDITOR

Students have access to both free weights and machines to maximize their workout at the new North Recreation Center. Mark Firkins, a fourth-year in microbiology said he enjoyed his workout. He hoped the new facility would ease the crowds in other gyms on campus. “Hopefully it’ll draw some people away (from other recreational facilities),” said Firkins, who said he worked out mostly at the RPAC

and Jesse Owens South last year. The North Recreation Center is open from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Sundays, 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays.

With the start of the fall semester, both the Ohio State University Police and the Columbus Division of Police are preparing for the surge of students coming back to campus. While fall always signals an increase of students coming back to Columbus, OSU’s campus will be hosting more students than usual with the implementation of the Second-year Transformational Experience Program, which has second-year students living on-campus. Factor in football season coinciding with the beginning of fall semester and guaranteeing safety around campus becomes an even larger task for officers. In addition to hiring one new police officer, University Police is staying committed to making safety a priority to everyone and generally creating a better environment for all community members thanks to a new partnership with the Department of Athletics. “A portion of Ohio Stadium football

and event revenue will be used to fund two new full-time OSUPD positions,” said spokesman Dan Hedman in an email. “Two new, full-time officers will bolster our security presence and enhance campus safety year-round.” Along with increasing the number of officers, University Police Chief Craig Stone said he reinstated a former program to increase the security presence on campus. “I have also re-implemented bike patrols on campus which will improve officer visibility, mobility and increase opportunities to interact with the campus community,” Stone said in an email. Stone will meet with students at the Ohio Union next Tuesday through Friday to hear campus community members voice their feelings and concerns about campus safety. He has also started a new initiative called the Community Police Academy to continue building relationships and trust with the community. Many students use bicycles as a means for transportation while on campus and with more students on campus, the opportunity for bicycle thieves rises as well.

In an attempt to prevent theft, University Police encourage all bicyclers to utilize a “U-Lock” on their bicycles or, as an alternative, use OSU’s bike-sharing program –– which allows students access to 115 bicycles around campus for $35 for the year or $6 for the day. OSUPD is also encouraging students to utilize the transportation services provided by the university such as the Student Safety Service Safe Ride which operates from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on nights and weekends. University Police also advises any student on campus to be cautious and aware of their surroundings when walking around campus at night. The department recommends students to walk in groups and avoid walking alone when possible. If a student sees any suspicious activity on campus, reports can be made to the University Police at 614-292-2121. If a student sees a crime occurring off campus, the report can be made with the Columbus Division of Police at 614-6454545.

New fitness classes to challenge students HANNAH HERNER Arts&Life Editor herner.12@osu.edu Students now have even more ways to stay fit at Ohio State. This semester, the Office of Student Life will be offering a total of 112 group fitness classes each week. Eighteen of those will take place at the newly-opened North Recreation Center, which will offer crowd favorites of circuit cycle, yoga and dance-based classes. New offerings at the RPAC include Zumba step, yoga inversions and Buckeye Bootcamp. The Women’s Field House will also introduce candlelight power yoga. Krista Bonikowske, a second-year graduate student in sports management, will teach Buckeye Bootcamp on Wednesday evenings in the South Gym of the RPAC. The hour-long circuit-style class of agility and conditioning drills will utilize newly-obtained tires along with water rowers and ropes. “The focus of the class is really to try to provide a higher intensity for those looking to change out the workout, but also to pick movements that are much more functional to everyday lifting, carrying and moving,” Bonikowske said. Bonikowske thinks that it will appeal to those who like structure and familiarity in class as well. “They can see what’s coming up next,” she said. “It’s definitely

group fitness, no matter one’s fitness level. “Any of our offerings can be adapted to anybody, so that if a beginner wants to try Buckeye Bootcamp we can definitely get them ready for that,” Adams said. “But for those people who have been working out for a while and coming to our classes for a while, some of these new classes will be an added challenge for them to switch up their workout.” The full group fitness schedule can be found on the Recreational Sports website.

Bonikowske said this builds community, something she and Alice Adams, group fitness coordinator, both said is an important part of group fitness. “All of our instructors work really hard to build community in their classes so that if you are someone who hasn’t worked out

before, you will instantly feel welcomed and comfortable,” Adams said. “You hopefully won’t feel like you don’t know what you’re doing because you’ll have not only the instructor but all of these people in the class who are learning and figuring it out as well.” The yoga inversions class, taking place on Friday evenings, was introduced to the schedule this semester because of its popularity when it was introduced on Reading Day last semester. It focuses on any poses that bring the head below the heart, working to get participants strong enough per-

form headstands and other inverted poses, Adams said. A step class may bring to mind fitness of the ‘80s, but Zumba step — offered on Friday afternoons — has a twist to it, Adams said. “It still definitely has the fun and the rhythm of the Zumba,” she said. The new candlelight power yoga at Women’s Field House offers more of a studio feel with battery-operate candles and caters to the late-night gym crowd at the recreation centers, Adams said.

Cazuela’s food truck cruises into campus In response to imminent relocation, family restaurant deploys mobile Mexican eats SARA STACY Lantern reporter stacy.118@osu.edu New and old customers of Cazuela’s Grill will soon be able to enjoy the restaurant’s signature dishes by having the food come to them. This week, Cazuela’s Grill is opening its food truck. Yessica Quezada, the operator of the truck, has been working at Cazuela’s Grill with her family since they opened the restaurant in 2006. She said the idea of the food truck was conceived when the restaurant was notified it would have to move locations due to development on West Northwood Avenue. “At first, they told us that we would need to be closed down by the end of this month,” Quezada said. “That’s when we had the idea of the food truck — because if we don’t have a place we can at least sell tacos to students because we don’t want to lose all of our loyal customers.” The restaurant has been located on the corner of High Street and West Northwood Avenue since its opening, but now will be moving

to a new location about a block north of where it currently stands in the next two or three months, Quezada said. She said students can tweet out where they want the truck to come during lunchtime hours. “We were planning to go around campus and around Columbus so people can try our food,” Quezada said. “We’re planning to open in the morning and, right now, we’re on Twitter and Facebook trying to ask people where they want us to go.” Quezada and her family are originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, and have strived to bring authentic food to their customers. She said they hope to bring that same authenticity to the food truck. The truck will feature many of Cazuela’s classics, such as tamales and tacos, and will also be serving non-alcoholic Mexican drinks like horchata. Raul Quezada, Yessica Quezada’s younger brother, has prior experience working in food trucks. He anticipates the biggest challenge to the food truck structure will be serving people in an orga-

Cazuela’s food truck parked outside Cazuela’s Grill on West Norwood Ave. nized way. “The hardest thing about the food truck would be the system, because in a restaurant you have tables,” he said. “So you can just go to the table, and you know they’re going to be there and what you’re going to give them. But in the food truck, you have everybody kind of standing around.” While he sees serving custom-

ers as a potential challenge, he doesn’t foresee any difficulties with the food preparation process itself. “Wherever you’re at, cooking is pretty much always the same thing,” he said. In the future, Yessica Quezada hopes they will be able to expand the truck’s hours and serve some of their alcoholic drinks, but, for

now she is focusing on learning the ropes and getting used to the structure of the food truck. “At first, we are going to concentrate on the daytime just to get a little more practice,” she said. “We don’t want to make mistakes, and we want everyone to be happy.”

Try unexpected pairings for back to school

VALENTINA LOREK For The Lantern lorek.7@osu.edu As we cling onto the last bits of summer, class syllabi and the season of transforming your Daisy Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into longer pants have begun. Some days will be hot, others chilly. But the weather is not the only factor that will be determining your back-to-school look. Classrooms with frigid temperatures and day parties full of dancing will play a factor too. This is the perfect time to experiment mixing your typical fall-weather pieces with your favorite summer accessories. Check out the tips below on how to nail the back to school look this year: Tip #1: Pair your sweatshirts with jean skirts. Perfect for the true bare-legloving you: Pair a sweatshirt with your favorite jean skirt, and you will achieve a look that will be fresh and stand out from others on campus. Sounds like a weird mix? Good! You are stepping out of that comfort zone. Adding cute accessories to tone down the thickness of the sweatshirt like a summery belt or choker necklace can really enhance the look. Tip #2: Mix your comfy, lazy graphic tee with a not-so-casual bottom We all have our favorite graphic

tees that, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, bring out our laziest fashion effort. However, sometimes they are triumphant when choosing what to wear over something much cuter in your closet. Try not to overlook your most comfortable T-shirt this year and pair it with an intricate, lace skirt to give the look an edge. Besides, you will be shocked at how confident you can feel wearing something truly comfortable. Tip #3: Monochromatic color schemes always prevail Even though wearing all black is a staple for many college students, taking that color choice into account with your jewelry, shoes, and sunglasses are what make your look go the extra mile. A monochromatic color scheme takes the least fashion brain power, yet can look as if you planned the outfit for days. Sometimes simpler is better!

LISTEN UP

Drowning back to school blues in cathartic pop SAM KAYUHA Senior Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu I take the good with the bad at the start of a new semester. The good: the return of friends to Columbus from all corners of the world, and new credits that bring me closer to the looming distinction of being a college graduate. The bad: walks to class in the unbearable heat that will soon turn to unbearable cold, and the removal of the soul from High Street due to construction. I’ve taken the same attitude with music that’s been released over the last three months. There’s been plenty of good, but there’s also been bad – mainly, the torturous wait for the new Frank Ocean, which has finally arrived. Also,

Steven Tyler released a country album. So that was … bad. But three tracks dominated my playlists this summer. And even though they may not be the cheeriest, summery songs for late August, they seem to capture a certain mood to which we can (probably) all relate. “Destroyed by Hippie Powers” by Car Seat Headrest Will Toledo, singer and songwriter for Car Seat Headrest, is probably the mouthpiece for more early 20-somethings than we would like to admit. His anxiety-ridden, brutally honest songs of self-doubt and uncertainty in 2016 are relevant yet timeless. He expresses the kind of angst that feels directly applicable to the listener, yet universal. One might look back and laugh at some of the

pain of early adulthood, but those feelings are very real for a big portion of the population. And a big part of that portion are college students unsure of their future. “Destroyed by Hippie Powers” is the song I turn up all the way when it seems like everything’s falling apart, experiencing catharsis through the rings of a cowbell. I can say I’ve personally shared the sentiment of the first verse: “I am freaking out in my mind, in a house that isn’t mine/ My end goal isn’t clear/ Should not have had that last beer.” I have, it isn’t, and I almost always shouldn’t have. “No Limit” by Usher ft. Young Thug Usher has been around forever. “Yeah!” is one of the first pop songs I can remember hearing ev-

erywhere, and that was 12 years ago. He is probably underrated for not only his continued visibility, but the uninterrupted quality of his work. He’ll probably never stop churning out catchy singles, and this one, with one of the best rap artists working right now, Young Thug, is another one in a long line. Usher has radio dominance down to a science at this point, never without a catchy hook that is spun on repeat in one’s head for hours. “Your Best American Girl” by Mitski The high point comes unexpectedly in this song. It’s unassuming at the start, the strumming of one guitar string, and for about a minute it’s nice enough. It builds subtly, but there is still not much warning of the operatic outburst

that arrives 1 minute, 25 seconds. Mitski comes across as lovelorn yet resilient, confident yet unsure of herself. “Your mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me,” the chorus goes, “But I do, I think do.” The distinguishing feature of the current crop of lo-fi bands is their emotional vulnerability. While Mitski exhibits that, she has found her own lane, building on the simplest of melodies and hooks with stacks of sound. She is also one of the best writers today, evidenced not only by her lyrics that read like poetry, but also her tweets, which amount to 140-character literary statements. This song is her strongest statement yet.

Meyer names Samuel as No. 1 NICK MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu The Ohio State football program has been defined with playmakers and players that have multiple uses on the roster. A team that emphasizes being well-versed in all aspects of the game has produced the likes of players that transition to the NFL as guys who can insert themselves into different positions. Most recently, OSU produced Jalin Marshall, who now plays for the New York Jets, as such a talent. This year, junior H-back Curtis Samuel could benefit from being the Swiss army knife of the Buckeyes. Samuel stands at 5-foot-11 and 197 pounds, giving him the size of many NCAA running backs, but also possesses the speed of a wide receiver. This combination has helped the Brooklyn, New York

native produce 1,352 all-purpose yards in his career, along with nine total touchdowns. “I think he’s our No. 1 playmaker on offense right now,” said OSU coach Urban Meyer. “He’s gotta stay healthy and he’s gotta go, and I just love his skill set.” Although the clear-cut leaders for running back and wide receiver are redshirt freshman Mike Weber and redshirt sophomore Noah Brown, respectively, the second spots for these positions are still open. Samuel is poised to see playing time in each role. Being singled out as one of the most important pieces of the puzzle for OSU is something Samuel does not take lightly. Still, he is not prepared to say he will be the one carrying the team. “I’m honored for coach Meyer to say that about me,” Samuel said. “But, as I know and he knows, we have a bunch of playmakers on this team. A bunch of

guys that’s very dynamic and are going to have a great year.” Samuel enjoyed most of his success last season as a receiver, racking up 289 yards on 22 receptions and two touchdowns. He averaged 13.1 yards per reception, tying him with OSU alumnus and Houston Texans receiver Braxton Miller. As a running back, Samuel only carried the ball 17 times in 2015, giving up a majority of his touches to now-departed Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys running back. A young backfield could result in an increase to that total, but the junior said his time will be spread uniformly across two positions. “I’ll be spending time playing H-back and playing tailback,” Samuel said. “Even amount of catches, even amount of carries. I’ll be doing both.”

SAMUEL Urban Meyer calls Curtis Samuel the team’s No. 1 playmaker. | ON PAGE 9

Smith, Wilson find legacy 2 more JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu One was playing at another school and another was pledged to a different program. The two football players have gone through their test and trials, but one thing is in common for senior wide receiver Corey Smith and senior H-back Dontre Wilson — this is their last go-round in Columbus. Once a highly touted recruit from DeSoto, Texas, Wilson initially had plans to play his college football in Eugene, Oregon, under then-head coach Chip Kelly. Once Kelly left for greener pastures in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Wilson changed his posthigh school plans. He committed to Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes on Feb. 4, 2013, where he would see playing time as a freshman. Meyer raved about Wilson’s speed, often using him in jet sweeps where he would run across the line of scrimmage from one side of the field, receive the handoff, then run to the opposite sideline hoping to find open space to turn on the jets. Listed at 5-foot-10, 181 pounds by 247Sports entering into his freshman season, Wilson clearly wasn’t built for the physical play of the Big Ten. Now listed at 195 pounds, Wilson says he has evolved into a complete player, instead of one that can just run by you. “Everything that I’m doing right now, I feel like I haven’t done over the past couple years,” Wilson said. “But this year I feel like I’m going to bring everything to the table and put it all out on the field.” Wilson was fourth on the team in all-purpose yards with 983 in

2013, which put him behind only three players now in the NFL: Carlos Hyde, Corey “Philly” Brown and Braxton Miller. In his sophomore campaign, he saw improvement in his game from the year before, but that train came to a halt against Michigan State when he broke his foot, ending his regular season, excluding three plays in the national championship game. Wilson would miss extensive time in 2015 as well, still dealing with the foot injury from the year before. Now it’s 2016, his senior year. Since his arrival on campus, Wilson has carried a hype with him that he has yet to reach. Meyer believes that potential is still there. “The hardest part of our profession is when players get hurt,” Meyer said. “One of the great things about our profession is when they get to join the team again.” But Wilson isn’t the only Buckeye returning from an injury-plagued 2015 season. Senior Corey Smith was granted another year of eligibility after suffering a season-ending leg injury against Indiana on Oct. 3. It’s his final year in the Scarlet and Gray. “I don’t take nothing for granted anymore,” Smith said. “It’s really just a blessing to be out there with my brothers and being coached by some of the best coaches in the world.” Smith committed to OSU on Jan. 29, 2013, after a season playing under coach Buddy Stephens at East Mississippi Community College. After redshirting his first year in Columbus, Smith played in all 14 games for OSU, catching 20 passes for 255 yards, including a 47-yard reception in the national title game against Oregon. In total, he has registered 25 receptions and 317 yards as a Buckeye.

“I don’t take nothing for granted anymore.” Corey Smith OSU reciever

To think there were a lack of expectations for Smith coming from JUCO ball would be ludicrous. Smith — originally from Akron Buchtel High School in northeast Ohio— had 51 receptions, 733 yards and nine touchdowns at EMCC and was ranked as the ninth-best overall junior college recruit. Smith was the first junior college commit to OSU since Larry Grant in 2006. Wilson and Smith have taken different paths to get to 2016, but neither of them feel like they have left a substantial mark on the program yet. With a younger receiving core, the two seniors will be

asked to take the leap forward that was expected of them since their initiation into the program. “The legacy I want to leave is that kid that came from nothing and grinded to the top,” Smith said. Smith will see a healthy amount of time at receiver with Wilson getting touches at H-back, punt and kick return and running back. “A healthy me is a great me,” Wilson said. “I’m going to stay humble about it but you guys really haven’t seen what I can really do. This year I’m going to show it. I feel like if I can do everything that I’m ready to do this year, it’ll be great for my legacy. The sky’s the limit.”

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has a tendency to create a lot of buzz during the offseason with his recruiting classes. Monday, two more targets for the Scarlet and Gray announced their commitment to playing football in Columbus, further solidifying the strength and legitimacy of the 2017 recruiting class for OSU. When asked about the success of OSU recruiting this year, Meyer smiled and said, “I know I heard a big boom out there on the field today.” That boom, of course, was in reference to the commitments of two of the best receivers in the upcoming class, Trevon Grimes and Tyjon Lindsey. The Buckeyes now have 16 players from the ESPN 300 list, which is the highest total in the nation. OSU wide receivers coach Zach Smith understands the hype, but is not sold on everyone just yet. “Yeah, probably on paper,” Smith said when asked if this is the best class he has ever seen. “You never really know until they get here. But, it’s up there. That’s for sure.” Grimes, a five-star wide receiver from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is ranked as the 15th best player in the 2017 class, according to the national composite ranking. The 6-foot-3 receiver hauled in 27 receptions for 496 yards and 7 touchdowns last season. Lindsey is the No. 1 overall player from Nevada according to RECRUITS CONTINUES ON 8
