he Association of American Universities released its national campus climate survey on sexual misconduct and relationship violence on Monday, and Ohio State plans to improve its numbers. • Survey results indicated that 24 percent of undergraduate women said that while at OSU, they have been victims of nonconsensual sexual contact as a result of physical force or in situations when they were incapacitated and unable to consent. • As for undergraduate males, 5.3 percent said they have been victims of either nonconsensual penetration or sexual ASSAULT CONTINUES ON 2

Appointment-free consultations move to the Union SHIYUN WANG Lantern reporter wang.6973@osu.edu The Office of Student Life Counseling and Consultation Service is offering informal psychological consultation sessions every Thursday this semester with the aim of increasing the accessibility of its services to students.

The program, called Let’s Talk, provides access to free and confidential consultations in the Lower Level Meeting Room of the Ohio Union from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. In contrast to formal counseling, students can drop in without an appointment or assessment of concerns in advance and discuss their problems with counselors.

“We recognize that for some students, there might be stigma associated with mental-health treatment,” said Jeeseon Park-Saltzman, a psychologist from the CCS and coordinator of the program.

“Let’s Talk is geared towards students who may have concerns about coming to our formal service sessions.”

Park-Saltzman said one of the informal, 15- to 20-minute consultation sessions could serve as a soft entry point to longer-term counseling sessions, which contain more thorough assessments of concerns and multiple meetings with counselors. Let’s Talk ensures that the procedure before seeing a counselor is minimized so that every student who needs guidance has access to professional suggestions, as well as information about other resources.

Steelcase Education Grant creates new opportunities in OSU classrooms STEPHANIE WISE Lantern reporter wise.1075@osu.edu Ohio State offers a range of art, athletic and academic opportunities for college students. As a recipient of the Steelcase Education’s inaugural Active Learning Center Grant, OSU will now offer another opportunity in its new Active Learning Classroom in Hagerty Hall, which opened in early September.

Steelcase’s grant allows recipients who demonstrate creative-learning use in classrooms to further transform physical

classroom spaces into areas where smarter, more active learning spaces can exist, according to its website. The company combines furniture and architecture to “unlock human promise and support social, economic and environmental sustainability.”

“Our goal is to advance the understanding of active learning with institutions that share our passion,” said Craig Wilson, director of market development at Steelcase. “We believe that the Active Learning Classroom will free the instructors from constraints imposed by static classrooms and allow students to move freely between different

modes to collaborate with one another and enjoy the experience.”

Hagerty Hall, where the new classroom is located, also houses a similar room called “The Space,” which is a Steelcase digital collaborative classroom. As stated in the grant, The Space has made an impact with facilitating small group work and sharing among students.

Diane Birckbichler, director of the CLLC, spoke about the benefits an innovative classroom can have on teaching.

“We have a lot of experience innovating in foreign language. One of the things we found that we liked best about the classroom is how it

transforms your teaching practice,” Birckbichler said. “It is no longer a static classroom, but one that has maximum flexibility.”

As stated in the grant, the classroom allows for four modes: lecture, group, discussion and distance learning.

Rebecca Bias, assistant director of the CLLC, said there are advantages to configuring the room.

“Given the limited amount of time we have students in the classroom, we want to maximize that time with them in the immersion situation and enable them to use their own creativity and imagination to move into different groups

and work collaboratively on projects,” Bias said.

Bias said this is one of the best ways to help students reach their goals in the realm of language learning.

The new Active Learning Classroom is currently home to classes in film, foreign language, literature and culture.

“When we set up the first classroom, people asked if anyone will use it. We told them it’s like the field of dreams: If you build it, they will come, and instructors have come,” Birckbickler said. “It totally transformed the way we look at how we teach, and I think that will also happen in the active learning center — that people will see the possibilities.”

New canine joins OSU police force AUBREY CORNWELL Lantern reporter cornwell.68@osu.edu

when it’s time to go to business, she’s ready to go.”

Ena has been working with Thompson since mid-July. The dual-purpose bomb-sniffing and patrol dog is one of three canines, along with canines Rita and Andor, that make up OSU’s K-9 Unit.

According to Thompson, Ena’s primary focus is to look for explosive devices. However, Ena also uses her patrol-dog methods to ensure general safety, such as performing building searches, area searches for suspects and protecting her handler.

Ena came to OSU’s K-9 Unit through Storm Dog Tactical, a training school for storm-dog canines, which selects and trains the

best dogs.

“Our trainer is from Ohio State,” Thompson said. “He’s a Buckeye.

This is his way of giving back to the school that got him his degree, which I think is really cool.”

Mike Pennington, the president of Storm Dog Tactical, graduated from OSU in 1994 with a degree in criminology.

After working for the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and retiring because of an injury, Pennington said he founded Storm Dog Tactical as a way to continue his passion.

“My heart was in dogs and law enforcement, so this was my avenue to keep me where my heart is at,” Pennington said.

tional students in general tend to underutilize our services,” Park-Saltzman said. “In fact, that is the case not just for the Ohio State, but for other universities as well.”

In addition, multilingual services, including Chinese, Korean, Hindi and Spanish, will be available during Let’s Talk time, according to the CCS website. Only minimal demographic information will be collected for service-tracking purposes.

For students who take English as their second language or those coming from places where psychological counseling is not what’s commonly adopted, us-

ing their mother languages could make things more comfortable, especially when the topics discussed are highly personal and emotional, Park-Saltzman added.

As an international student, Zihan Zhang, a second-year in chemical engineering, said she felt that providing services in languages other than English is beneficial.

“When I first came here and wasn’t fluent in English, it would be impossible for me to present my concerns clearly to a counselor,” Zhang said.

This is the first time Let’s Talk services will be offered during Fall Semester. Previously, the program was held in spring semesters

within the Office of International Affairs.

“One of our improvements this year is that we are hoping to create a more welcoming environment for all OSU students instead of being like a program only for international students when it was housed in OIA,” Park-Saltzman said. “That’s why we moved to the Union.”

Park-Saltzman also said limited availability of the service would be a challenging part of the program because Let’s Talk is offered only two hours a week, which means students will have to make themselves available during that time.

Park-Saltzman added that the

Counseling and Consultation Service might extend the walk-in hours if student traffic flow demand it.

Some students are optimistic about the program and its move.

“It sounds like a good idea for students,” said Skyler Johnson, a second-year in exploration. “You don’t have to make an appointment, so if an urgency comes up, you can talk to someone there.”

from our students as the university provides leadership on this national issue.”

The Buckeyes ACT initiative involves three steps: action, counseling and training. This is the newest phase in of OSU’s effort to combat sexual assaults.

“This program is a huge step in the right direction,” said Abby Grossman, a fourth-year in math education and Undergraduate Student Government president.

“Creating awareness in the entire Ohio State community will absolutely begin the change in culture that we need,” she said. “ACT stands for action, counseling and training in which Dr. Drake and Provost (Joseph) Steinmetz have provided our campus community with the resources they need to become a part of the solution.”

With this new initiative and previous initiatives, some students haven’t and still don’t think they are as safe as they need to be.

“I feel that as a woman, I should always be alert and concerned about being sexually assaulted, no matter where I am,” said Amiah Matthews, a second-year in public health. “I do feel safer on campus grounds. However, I do dread walks along High Street because I’ve been catcalled many times there before. Being sexually assaulted is always in the back of my mind whether I like it or not, and I’m sure that’s probably the case for most women.”

Rehman Kaludi, a second-year in aerospace engineering, said he thinks that the campus is safe, but more needs to be done off campus.

“I feel very safe when I’m on the main academic part of campus but not very safe when I’m walking home at night, especially east of Summit Street,” Kaludi said.

In the survey, 63.6 percent of OSU students said they felt it was “very or extremely likely” that campus officials would take a re-

port of sexual assault or sexual misconduct seriously.

“OSU is not the only place that doesn’t take reports seriously,” said Gina DeSimone, a fourth-year in business operations management. “This is a nationwide issue.

Many people think that people report sexual-assault incidents for attention. This is unfortunate because it inhibits many others from reporting assaults. I think it depends on the situation and who you are talking to. Some people may take you seriously, some may not. These reports should not be taken lightly, and each victim needs to be taken seriously.”

Some students think that OSU is doing a good job with the issue of sexual assault, but not so much the University Police.

“Ohio State seems to be doing well so far at least implementing serious programs about advocacy about the reality of sexual assault and also providing resources for

“With underage drinking and the new freedoms kids experience in college, it isn’t surprising that these things occur with a student body this large,” Oney said.

OSU voluntarily participated in the climate survey along with 26 other major universities, including the University of Florida, Cornell University and the University of Michigan.

Storm Dog Tactical was founded in 2002, the same year as OSU’s K-9 Unit. The two teams have been working together ever since to keep the campus safe.

Unlike some K-9 training schools, Pennington said Storm Dog Tactical doesn’t stick to one system. Instead, it evaluates each dog on an individual basis to fig-

ure out what will motivate them to learn.

“We look at what each canine is communicating to us, and then we’ll pick the right method for training of that dog and then run it,” Pennington said.

PLEASE RECYCLE victims on campus,” said Mary Hannon, a fourth-year in strategic communication.

“Personally, the Ohio State Police Department has done nothing to make me feel protected from crime, assault or anything for that matter,” she said. “If I feel unsafe, I call the Columbus nonemergency line to report suspicions. Ohio State police department specifically hasn’t done anything visible to help any cause, let alone sexual assault for that matter.”

The climate survey was sent to all OSU students, but only 18.1 percent responded.

“This is something that concerns me,” said Grossman. “While knowing 18 percent of our data is an improvement than what we had before, we still are unaware of 82 percent of our community’s situations, which can make a big change on what statistics show.”

He’s with the band

OSU student tells stories of working this past summer with O.A.R. REGINA FOX Lantern reporter fox.1001@osu.edu

While most 20-year-olds spent their summer watching their favorite bands from the crowd, Mike Avdey was working behind the scenes with Columbus-based alternative rock band, O.A.R. Avdey is a third-year in operations management whose parents got him interested in music at a very young age.

“My mom is an opera singer who taught me a lot about the theory and essence of music. She got me involved in piano and singing when I was really little,” Avdey said. “And my dad got me into bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, so that sparked my interest in rock and alternative.”

Avdey chose Ohio State for its location and offering of a music, media and enterprise minor. He has since become president of Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association, a club on campus in which many of the members share the MME minor.

“Compared to Cleveland, (Columbus) is a better scene in the fact that there are more young people that are involved, especially with

the university,” Avdey said.

Avdey’s initial connection to O.A.R. was more familiar than academic.

“I got linked up with the band through a family friend who was good buddies with O.A.R.’s tour manager,” Avdey said. “He mentioned that I was into the music industry, so the tour manager had me come out to a show in Cleveland and I worked it all day, doing anything they needed me to do.”

A combination of his music media and enterprise minor and his operations management major aided Avdey when O.A.R.’s tour manager asked him to help with logistics of the tour.

“Mike has contributed to our team in many ways. I brought him in to assist me on the most basic level, but he quickly demonstrated that he could handle a great many tasks,” said Chris Wrightsman, O.A.R.’s tour manager, in an email.

“At home, I call on him to arrange travel, return emails and generally help me with whatever I need. On the road he basically ran the production office with my other assistant and did a fantastic job.”

Avdey describes himself as detailed-oriented and organized, and he attributes those characteristics,

along with his knowledge from his business classes at OSU, to his success at helping with O.A.R.’s logistics and accounting. He stayed in that position during his second year at OSU. At the end of the school year, Avdey was asked to join O.A.R. on the road during its “Back to Rockville” summer tour. He toured with the band for two and a half weeks as the production assistant, which is the assistant to the tour manager.

“Every day we would go into a new venue and figure out who the promoter was, figure out who were going to be the (people who ran errands for the band and staff), figure out guest lists and meet and greets,” Avdey said when describing his role on the road.

During O.A.R.’s shows, Avdey got a chance to catch up on email and logistics tasks. If he had a few spare moments after that, he would watch a few minutes of the performance from backstage.

He said his favorite stop was the show at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion in Boston.

“It’s a great city and the venue was awesome,” Avdey said. “We had awesome lobster rolls, and the band played very well.”

Avdey also spoke highly of the

Mike Avdey pictured with OSU alumni members from the band O.A.R. band members themselves.

“All the guys of O.A.R. are really cool and chill but they’re also very business-savvy,” he said, while describing his time spent with the band on bus rides or backstage before a show.

The respect is mutual.

“His work ethic is A+. Truly solid and always ready to go,” Wrightsman said. “On the road, he was up early and didn’t rest until the job was over. We have 16–18

hour days out here, so I was really proud of him.”

Avdey is still working on logistics for O.A.R., and he said he is hopeful that if the band decides to tour next summer, he will assume a more defined role than what his internship provided.

“Whether or not with O.A.R., the position of tour manager is kind of the goal,” Avdey said.

CAMERON CARR For The Lantern carr.613@osu.edu Pursuit, a men’s suit store started as a Fisher MBA class project, opened its new doors in the Short North earlier this month.

“It wasn’t that we wanted to leave campus, it was more that we wanted to be down here,” said owner Nate DeMars.

The new location at 937 N. High St. began taking appointments in July before opening for regular hours. DeMars, a 2011 graduate

from the Fisher College of Business, said that the previous location in the South Campus Gateway didn’t close until July 31, allowing Pursuit to continue business throughout the move.

DeMars said he sees the Short North as one of the most exciting aspects of Columbus, and the new location will put Pursuit in the middle of that.

The Gateway store made Pursuit a convenient location for students because of its close proximity to the Ohio State campus, but DeMars said the new store expects to con-

tinue attracting a college crowd.

“We think we actually can serve students better here through a better store,” he said. “We still think we have a very unique expertise in selling suits to college guys.”

DeMars said the Short North location will still be one of the closest suit stores to campus.

After opening the Pursuit Mobile Suit Truck, a repurposed potato-chip delivery truck, early last year, the store began experimenting with different markets outside of the college population, which DeMars said helped influence the PURSUIT CONTINUES ON 5

SERENA’S STYLE

Falling in love with autumn fashion SERENA XU For The Lantern serenashoeshoes23@gmail.com Our favorite time of the year is here, Buckeyes: the glamorous season of fall. The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping to comfortably chilly and it is absolutely gorgeous outside. Fall fash-

ion is the best — so many trends, rich colors and amazing patterns.

It is just so fabulous.

And I know you all agree with me.

“I like fall because it is the beginning of the holiday season,” said Madison Sweezy, a third-year in communication.

Sweezy told me an awesome sto-

ry about a fall festival in her hometown and how the whole place smelled like pumpkins.

We definitely talked fashion, too.

Sweezy said she thinks fall clothes — such as scarves, boots and jeans — are the most comfortable, noting that her favorite fall outfit is black riding boots, a flannel and leggings.

“I also love the colors of fall, they all associate with comfortableness,” Sweezy said.

Yixin Pang, a fourth-year in marketing, said fall fashion is her favorite because when choosing her outfits, she has the option of either dressing lightly or heavily due to the temperature constantly fluctuating.

Pang said she really likes boots and leather jackets, and she loves fall mainly because she can choose whatever because it will work.

When asked about her favorite outfit, she said it’s a red leather jacket, skinny jeans, black boots and a tote bag. That’s just so glamorous to me. I adore that.

I also spoke to Rachael De Martinez, a fourth-year in geography.

“I like everything about fall. I get

to wear layers, and I love fall colors because they are complimentary to my skin,” De Martinez said.

De Martinez definitely looked great in her mustard colored dress, and after seeing her in it, I would also add deep browns and jewel tones such as emerald, sapphire and dark purple to her fall wardrobe.

She also said an advantage of fall fashion is its coziness.

“It is like mom dressing you in a sweater so you could play outside,”

De Martinez said. I love that comparison.

De Martinez’s favorite fall outfit is a dress with tights or leggings, plus, of course, a cozy sweater.

“You can accessorize anything with a dress; a dress can be classy, and by adding accessories, you make it trendy. It is a win-win situation,” she said.

“We found that with an older demographic than we had on campus, the reaction was still positive,” he said.

While many students come to the Short North, DeMars said not as many people go to the campus area. The new location, he said, will attempt to capture a wider demographic in addition to getting increased foot traffic and visibility.

DeMars estimates the new store is 75 percent larger than the previous location, reflected in new additions to the Pursuit business. The new store was custom built to allow for modern innovations, as well as old-fashioned customer service.

The Short North location features more dressing rooms, an onsite tailor and a lounge area. The lounge, featuring complimentary drinks and a photobooth, will allow for Pursuit to host events and provide a more comfortable shopping experience, DeMars said.

“There’s often a crowd (when shopping for a suit),” he said. “This is a way to have more room for them to hangout.”

The store already has plans for a bowtie class for Cameron Mitchell servers and hopes to bring fraternities and student organizations in for events, DeMars said.

In addition to innovations to the store, Pursuit added its own line of suits. DeMars said that the line will provide options that other brands do not, such as specific colors and

“When you come in here you’ve got products that you can’t get anywhere else that we think are unique to our brand,” he said.

Hello! If you read Sex Talk last week, you’ll remember that we talked about being sexy to attract your crush. So now, let’s say you guys take it to the bedroom (or wherever). I have some advice to give on how to “be sexy” when you and your partner get some Special Alone Time — and it is shockingly similar to the advice I gave last week.

A lot of people, especially those who are new to having sex or have not had it yet, tend to be worried about embarrassing themselves during the Trial of Love Making.

“What if I make a weird noise?”

“What if don’t make any noise?”

First of all, chill out.

Second of all, just remember that everyone’s different. Sex doesn’t have to look like pornography, and in fact, it typically does not. If you’re naturally quiet in bed, that’s okay! My only word of advice is if you are naturally quiet, do not feel like you should try to be loud because it likely will not turn out well. Alternatively, if you naturally are very vocal, that is fine too!

Basically, just go with what feels

natural when it comes to this.

While we’re on this subject, please, please, please do not fake orgasms. It doesn’t help you, and it certainly doesn’t help your partner.

If they aren’t doing it right, do not be afraid to show them how. And you can do this without making yourself or your partner feel embarrassed.

You can just tap them on the shoulder (or whatever’s closest) and say something like “Hey, can you try ___?”, or even something as simple as “A little to the left.”

Alternatively, don’t feel bad if someone gives you some polite instructions. It doesn’t mean that you’re a sex failure, and it’s also more than okay to ask your partner if you are hitting their right spots.

Communication is a beautiful thing.

Sex should be fun for both parties, so show each other the ropes and give each other the ground rules before you get into it. If you haven’t figured out the ropes yourself, figure it out with them, just please don’t make them feel like they’re doing a good job if they are not. There is just no good reason to, and I promise you’ll have a much better time if you don’t.

@THELANTERN

Letter to the Editor:

Young voters Don’t live life like exam week: Take control of must demand stress clean energy A few days ago, many of us cheered on Hillary Clinton during her event here in Columbus, and it has been exciting to see so many young people getting engaged in the political process so early, whether for Clinton or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

We know that our generation will play a big part in electing the next president – that our voice will have power like no other time in history. We must make it count.

Young Americans strongly back proposals that will accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy, grow our economy and create jobs in Ohio. A recent poll by NextGen Climate found that 68 percent of young voters believe that achieving more than 50 percent clean energy by 2030 would have a positive effect on achieving those goals.

For supporters of Clinton, there was more good news – 63 percent of young voters say they’d be more likely to vote for Clinton if she supports this ambitious clean energy goal, according to the NextGen Climate poll.

We must leverage our support during this early stage of the process to make sure candidates know where we stand on clean energy. As young people it’s how we can make a major impact on the election and the country.

Michael Lakomy Third-year in accounting President, College Democrats

COURTESY OF TNS

Throughout my college experience, I have realized there is one subject every student learns, regardless of his or her major: stress.

It can be helpful — stress is a natural way our brain communicates with the body to restore balance.

Other times, stress can be so overwhelming it gets classified with a clinical name. Mental health issues in college students are on the rise, with anxiety and depression being the most common.

With technological advance-

ments, we are the most connected, fast-paced and busy generation yet. Society is more disconnected from individual interaction than ever before. Financial stressors are among the biggest worries college students share. The combination of business, lack of person-to-person interaction and financial worry is a perfect storm for misdiagnosed cases of anxiety and depression. It is easy to “brush off” these problems as everyday stressors, but it is vital to know the difference be-

tween everyday stress and mental health issues.

Any student who has made his or her way through a full semester has experienced what an exam week feels like. This is a period of worry, restlessness, dietary changes and varied sleep patterns. Physical symptoms include muscle tension, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, irritability, chest pain and headaches. Students need to realize that these negative things are normal, but should be temporary. If these things are part of a Buckeye’s daily routine, he or she should seek help.

Help can be found through Ohio State’s very own Psychological Services Center.

College makes a person grow in many facets of life. With growth, there are growing pains. However, these growing pains shouldn’t limit the way a person lives.

OSU men’s soccer team trying to keep momentum in ‘winnable’ game against Dayton MARIESHA GIBSON Lantern reporter gibson.917@osu.edu After tying two top-ranked teams, the Ohio State men’s soccer team could be beginning to find its momentum.

The Buckeyes had a rough start to the season, losing four straight games. However, in their last two games they managed to pull out ties against No. 11 Akron and No. 13 Penn State, making members of the team more optimistic moving forward.

“Goals are starting to fall, people are feeling good, and the team’s chemistry is getting there. I think overall, we are in a good spot,” OSU junior midfielder Henry Chancy said.

The Buckeyes are preparing for another battle on their home field against Dayton at 7 p.m. on Friday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

For some of the players, it will be their first time going against the Flyers. But for one, the faces across the field will be very familiar.

OSU senior goalkeeper Chris Froschauer will have the opportunity to battle against his former team and teammates on Friday.

“I feel like I made the right decision transferring,” Froschauer said. “I enjoyed my time at Dayton and I enjoy my time here. I’m just going to take it like it’s another game.”

Despite being put face-to-face with his former team, Froschauer said he wants to make this game a team effort and not make the game about him.

The Buckeyes are going into Friday’s game with a winning mindset, especially after proving to be able to keep up with the best.

“Getting two good results builds your confidence a little bit,” Chancy said. “Coming into a game like Dayton is definitely a winnable game.”

Dayton will mark the second in-state opponent on the Buckeyes’ schedule after Akron.

“It’s going to be a big game,” Froschauer said. “It will be a lot of energy on both sides.”

Team honor For the second consecutive year and third overall, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America honored the OSU men’s soccer team as 2014-15 Collegiate Team Academic Award winners.

OSU was one of five Big Ten men’s programs selected for the award. In total, 859 soccer teams, men’s and women’s, posted an average GPA of 3.0 in the 2014-15 academic year.

What’s next?

Following Friday’s game, the Buckeyes are scheduled to face Louisville at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

OSU women’s soccer looking to recover in two conference road games GABRIELLA DIGIOVANNI Lantern reporter digiovanni.6@osu.edu

Looking for answers Ohio State to finish nonconference schedule vs. Western Michigan RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu While the defense has kept Ohio State No. 1 in the country and undefeated through three games, team members have made it clear that its current pace will not work throughout the season.

“We have to play better, we have to coach better, we have to play better. We have to execute. We have to do a better job as an offensive unit,” running backs coach Tony Alford said Monday.

In OSU’s first two home games — victories against Hawaii and Northern Illinois — the Buckeyes’ two quarterbacks, redshirt junior Cardale Jones and redshirt sophomore J.T. Barrett, combined to go just 35-of-61 for 314 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Jones’ 4-of-9 start against Northern Illinois caused coach Urban Meyer to pull the plug on him for that game early in the second quarter.

However, Meyer said on Wednesday that Barrett has not done enough to unseat Jones as the starter, and Jones will make his seventh consecutive start on Saturday.

After the Northern Illinois game, junior running back Ezekiel Elliott said that a more aggressive mindset is required to be successful regardless of which player is under center.

“The thing is, we’re just really not starting drives well,” Elliott said. “So we get behind

and behind, and we’re the type of offense that’s always running, so that’s a problem.”

On Saturday, OSU is gearing up to welcome the Western Michigan Broncos for its fourth and final nonconference game, and third consecutive home contest.

The Broncos are paced by redshirt junior quarterback Zach Terrell, who ranks 10th in the nation with 947 passing yards through three games.

“I’m very excited for this matchup,” redshirt sophomore cornerback Eli Apple said.

“They’re a very good receiving corps, for sure, and have a good quarterback as well, so I’m ready, I can’t wait.”

Missing in action While the core of the Buckeyes is still mostly intact heading into the fourth game of the season, there are a few players who serve as valuable depth that OSU will likely be without on Saturday.

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Parris Campbell has started each of the Buckeyes’ three games this season opposite redshirt junior Michael Thomas but is still seeking his first collegiate reception.

That appears to be on hold for at least one more week, as the Akron, Ohio, product was not listed in the depth chart for the WMU game. Campbell left Saturday’s game during the first quarter with a left knee bruise and did not return. Taking his place at the second starting wideout spot on the depth chart is sopho-

more Curtis Samuel, who leads the team with 11 receptions.

Also away from the field on Saturday will be sophomore cornerback Damon Webb, who is suspended indefinitely from the team for an undisclosed violation of an athletics department policy.

“Damon was playing well for us, and he’ll be missed,” co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Chris Ash said on Monday. “But we’ve got enough people that will fill in, and we’ll continue to get the production that we need.”

Finally, the date of freshman running back Mike Weber’s return from a meniscus tear is still not clear. OSU coaches have mentioned for a few weeks that he is near a return to make his debut.

“We’ll see. That’s a day-to-day deal as he works through with the trainers,” Alford said.

The coach said the team doesn’t plan to redshirt the Detroit native.

Previously for Western Michigan The first three games of the season for WMU were marked by inconsistency.

The Broncos began the season by putting somewhat of a scare into now-No. 2 Michigan State in a home game, falling 37-24 after cutting the deficit to 10 early in the fourth quarter.

Terrell had a big game, completing 33 passes for 365 yards and two touchdowns, but two interceptions and seven sacks marred the effort.

The next game was not as encouraging for WMU CONTINUES ON 7

Following a loss and a draw at home last weekend, the Ohio State women’s soccer team (5-2-2, 0-1-1) is set to hit the road for two conference matchups this weekend.

The Buckeyes will head to Iowa City, Iowa, for a Friday evening match to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-3-0, 0-2), followed by a trip to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a Sunday afternoon game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-3-1, 0-1-1).

OSU coach Lori Walker said she is not concerned about the hours of travel for her players, and has confidence going into the weekend.

“The travel for us, we actually look at it as a nice time to get away,” Walker said. “It gives extra study time, gives extra time together, and it’s not really something that stresses us out. We get on the road and leave everything here in Columbus, and we’re excited about these two games because I think that if we continue to progress the way we should be then we should be able to find some success.”

Members of the Scarlet and Gray said they hope to pick up two wins on the road this weekend and get back to the way they believe they can play.

“Our schedule is pretty set, but we need to bring some spice to training. Everything that we’re doing, just asking them to be competitive,” Walker said. “It’s about figuring out a way to win.”

Redshirt junior goalkeeper Jillian McVicker said she finds opportunity in playing on the road.

“I love playing away just because we’re in a new environment and get to take them on somewhere else than (Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium),” McVicker said.

Walker focuses on another obstacle: pushing her team through the second half of the season.

“We have to challenge them to constantly be in the moment,” Walker said. “When you walk through the gates we have a quote of the day and the point behind that is when they get here and they focus on the quote of the day, they come through the gates and it’s leave your life for these two hours and your life will be there for you after the fact.”

McVicker said she understands what needs to be done to keep moving forward as Big Ten play is officially underway.

“We just have to keep our eyes on the prize and keep our goals in line and focus on the process,” Walker said. “Every single day we just have to be focused and be diligent in practice and take what the coaches are saying and go into it like that.”

OSU is slated to kick off against Iowa at 8 p.m. and Nebraska at 2:05 p.m.
