New coaches to dot Buckeyes’ sidelines Barnes & Noble in Union still transitioning Brandon Merriman Lantern reporter merriman.65@osu.edu While a Barnes & Noble takeover of an Ohio State store has relieved the university of certain expenses, some said it’s too soon to tell whether OSU is profiting from the transition.

The store, which replaced the university-run Station 88, opened Sept. 6 as the OSU Bookstore.

Kathy Smith, general manager of the store, said so far, the store’s performance is “exactly meeting expectations.”

“We expect growth there as we bring in additional product selection this year,” Smith said.

Dave Isaacs, spokesman for OSU’s Office of Student Life, said the Union isn’t able to yet compare the finances of running Station 88 versus leasing to Barnes & Noble, though there are differences.

“Certainly, we’re not buying inventory and paying staff … those are the biggest distinctions,” Isaacs said.

Isaacs was unable to provide information about the cost of operations before the transition and how the transition has affected OSU’s financial obligations because the new store hasn’t been operating long enough.

All employees of Station 88 were rehired with the new store, Smith said.

“Everyone who wanted a job there had a job there, and we’ve actually hired more people since then as well, since we’ve had some graduates,” Smith said.

Smith said the current products in the store are similar to what Station 88 carried.

OSU also established international gateway offices in Shanghai and Mumbai, India, and plans to soon recruit from its next international “landing pad” in São Paulo, Evanovich said.

OSU’s position as both a land-grant institution and diverse flagship university, though, is not without its challenges.

A land-grant institution is one that was designated by its state legislature or Congress to receive benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The original intent was for the schools to teach agriculture, military tactics and mechanics, as well as classical studies.

“OSU must hold both of those missions simultaneously, not one at the expense of the other,” Evanovich said, “that is the challenge for us as we move forward.”

With more out-of-state students and more students “of color” enrolled now than in years past, an Ohio State official said the challenge of striking a balance between catering to Ohio students and increasing diversity is growing.

The One University 2013-14 Enrollment Report summarizes enrollment at all OSU campuses and includes categorical comparisons between previous years’ enrollment statistics. The enrollment report includes information about undergraduate, graduate and professional students at the Columbus and regional campuses.

The report’s data show the statistical summary of OSU’s progress over the past few years, including a nearly 24 percent increase in the total number of undergraduate applications between 2012 and 2013.

The percentage of out-of-state students admitted at the Columbus campus during Fall Semester jumped to 21.2 percent in 2013 from 16.3 percent in 2012.

The percentage of enrolled “students of color” at all campuses also increased to 17 percent in 2013 from 16.3 percent in 2012.

Dolan Evanovich, vice president for strategic enrollment planning, attributed the changes to two things. The first, he said, was the university’s switch to the Common Application, an online application that allows students to apply to multiple schools with one application. Evanovich said the move “increases (OSU’s) visibility and access for high-achieving students from across the country and across the world to apply.”

He also said investments in recruiting across the state, country and world “have made a really powerful difference in students that are interested in OSU.” OSU recruited in-state students in order to “keep the best Ohio students at Ohio State” and made investments to “attract qualified, really high-achieving students from outside of Ohio,” Evanovich said.

With increasingly challenging admissions requirements and higher academic standards, the number of enrolled students from Ohio has declined over the past several years and will continue to get smaller over the next few years, Evanovich said.

While Ohio residents made up 75.5 percent of the freshman class in 2012, they made up 71.7 percent of 2013’s freshman class, according to the report and OSU’s Undergraduate Admissions website.

As a result, there is an additional incentive to recruit students from across the U.S. and OSU has made its investments “to offset some of that decline of Ohio graduates,” Evanovich said.

Former Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman might not have known where his life would take him, but his wife Stefanie knew exactly why she was here.

Spielman said the title of the book, “That’s Why I’m Here: The Chris and Stefanie Spielman Story,” was inspired by something his wife said at an event to a young woman who was diagnosed with cancer.

“The lady felt like she was burdening Stefanie, and that’s when Stefanie grabbed her hand and said ‘Don’t you understand? That’s why I’m here,’” Spielman said.

His wife’s battle with cancer began at the age of 30, after a lump was found in her breast. She battled cancer for 11 years, until her death Nov. 19, 2009.

“I started writing the book shortly after we found out that Stefanie’s cancer was terminal. You start kind of revealing the journey that not only you’re on, but you start revealing your life and getting ready to deal with such a difficult loss,” Spielman said.

Chris Spielman’s oldest daughter, Maddie Spielman, who is a second-year in communication at OSU, said she wrote an excerpt at the age of 15 while her mother was sick, which Chris Spielman included in the book.

“I wanted kids to know that they’re not alone. I know oftentimes when someone loses a parent or a loved one, they go through that battle and my main purpose was to write something that kids could relate to,” Maddie Spielman said.

Along with wanting the book to be relatable, Maddie Spielman said she was honest and open about her experience.

“The book is essentially a story of our life,” Maddie Spielman said.

Chris Spielman said the book goes through his own growth as he starts by discussing his career as a football player and a protective father, then travels through his journey to becoming more humbled.

“The book will tell you how I kind of put football above everything else. Not that I wasn’t a good husband or a good father, I was just obsessed with being the best football player I could be,” Chris Spielman said.

Chris Spielman played with the Detroit Tigers from 1988-95, followed by two years with the Buffalo Bills and a season with the Cleveland Browns.

Arkansas defensive coordinator Chris Ash is reported to be coming to OSU as a defensive coach.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has been known to be a quick worker on the recruiting trail when it comes to student-athletes.

It looks like the same could be said about coaches.

According to separate reports by “Sports Illustrated” writer Pete Thamel, Meyer snatched up two defensive coaches within 13 hours — Arkansas defensive coordinator Chris Ash and former Penn State defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

An OSU spokesman told The Lantern in separate emails Tuesday that he did not “have any information (to) share at this time” regarding the reports, which

were released about Johnson and Ash late Monday night and Tuesday at about noon, respectively.

Ash is set to fill the void of former OSU co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers, who was announced as the next head coach at James Madison University Dec. 20. Johnson is slated to replace former defensive line coach Mike Vrabel, who announced that he was leaving OSU for a job with the NFL’s Houston Texans via Twitter Thursday. Vrabel’s move comes after Houston announced the hiring of its new head coach, former Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien, Jan. 3.

Ash came to Arkansas before this past season with Razorback coach Bret Bielema, whom he coached with the three years prior at Wisconsin, helping lead the Badgers to consecutive Rose Bowls from 2011-13.

KaYla BYler / Managing editor of design Mikeisha Vaughn, a third-year in fashion and retail studies, said she values the progress OSU has made.

“Having a more diverse campus is conducive to the learning environment. It’s important to meet people from different walks of life,” she said.

Beth Statler, a second-year in biology and member of the OSU Latino Leadership Development Institute, said being part of a diverse campus is essential to learning and overcoming discrimination.

“We cannot continue surrounding ourselves by people who are only like us because in reality, the world is a large, diverse place full of so many interesting, different people. In order to get along with others who we may not agree with, we need to understand where they come from before creating judgments and stereotypes, because that would just fuel the discrimination that continues to occur today,” Statler said.

campus North Campus construction noise, fences bothering some Qing Dai Lantern reporter dai.133@osu.edu With construction on North Campus residence halls underway, some students have complained about the diminished number of open paths and voiced concerns about the noise level of the renovations.

The North Residential District Transformation is a $370 million renovation to the North Campus District that plans to add 3,200 additional student beds through the construction of 11 new buildings, which are expected to be ready for move-in fall 2016, in time for the start of OSU’s planned second-year live on requirement.

Curl Drive, which connects Neil and Woodruff avenues, was closed indefinitely Oct. 11, marking the beginning stages of the North Residential District Transformation.

Following the closure of Curl Drive, eastbound Lane Avenue was reduced to one lane between Neil Avenue and Peasley Street in October and is expected to remain limited to one lane until Summer 2016, OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Alison Hinkle said in October.

In addition, southbound High Street between Lane and Woodruff avenues was also reduced to one lane in October and is expected to remain that way until Summer 2015, Hinkle said.

Colton Lapworth, a first-year in aerospace engineering who lives in Drackett Tower, said so far, there are a few aspects of the construction process that he isn’t happy about.

“One of (the) big inconveniences is the fence right out(side) of Drackett,” he said.

“For (whatever reason), they have fences right out(side) of the door.”

OSU students wait to cross the street at the corner of Lane and Neil avenues beside closed portions of Lane Avenue Oct. 31.

Before the renovations, he said he used the door at the north entrance of the building.

Other students voiced similar concerns.

“The gates (are) annoying, it is hard to get (to).

You cannot walk to the sidewalk to go to High Street,” said Leanne Spillman, a third-year in marketing.

Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said in an email the inconveniences are to be expected.

“Any time you have a project of this magnitude there will be disruptions, especially to the daily routine of people living and working in the area,” Isaacs said.

Isaacs said questions are received more frequently than complaints about the North Campus project, with one common question being about the level of construction noise. He said students have been told there will be no

construction work before 9 a.m. or during finals week.

Some students said they haven’t had much of an issue with the noise level.

“The really (bad) part is (when) it (was) in the early morning when we (were) sleeping. Other than that, it isn’t too bad,” said Nate Herrmann, a first-year in computer science and engineering who lives in Drackett Tower.

Lapworth also said the noise hasn’t been too bad.

“There really (aren’t many) noises, but the fences (are) bothering me a lot,” he said.

Miranda Scheitlin, a first-year in pre-pharmacy who also lives in Drackett, said sometimes at about 9 or 10 a.m. she’ll hear the construction. “(The noise) is like somebody knocking on the door,” Scheitlin said.

Mitchel Keller, a first-year in neuroscience, said the project is working on too many spaces at the same time. “(The problem) is about how many areas they are taking on. I feel like some of (it) is too much,” Keller said.

He also said he thinks closing the Lane Avenue sidewalks was unnecessary because he hasn’t seen any work being done on them.

Hinkle said in October the lane closures are meant to allow construction traffic in and out of the area in order to maintain safety for pedestrians and vehicles.

OSU ranked on alumni infidelity study by affair website Hannah Chenetski Lantern reporter chenetski.4@osu.edu Ohio State was recently ranked fifth on a top 10 list many students, professors and alumni might not want to make at all: the likeliness that graduates will cheat on their spouses.

AshleyMadison.com, a website that assists adults in having affairs, created a ranking of the most common alma maters on the site. AshleyMadison polled more than 10,350 of its more than 3.5 million members, according to the website, and the University of Minnesota topped the list with several other large universities following.

AshleyMadison.com founder and CEO Noel Biderman said on the site he was not surprised that so many larger schools were on the list.

“It’s apparent from our survey that certain campuses offer a climate that’s more conducive to would-be adulterers, typically someone more adventurous and looking to have new experiences,” Biderman said.

AshleyMadison.com also discovered 12.2 percent of the users surveyed had obtained a degree from a junior or community college and 23.3 percent had a postgraduate degree (doctoral, master’s, or professional degrees).

Debra Moddelmog, an OSU English professor and coordinator of the sexuality studies program, said she saw some flaws in the study.

“The study is not scientifically based since there’s no mechanism to control for bias nor is their sample representative of the population about which they are making conclusions,” Moddelmog said.

In many controlled scientific studies, there is a control group used to ensure there is no bias influencing the study’s outcomes and those surveyed are typically chosen for their ability to well represent the population they’re part of.

Diane Ruzicka, an OSU alumna who has been married for 36 years, said she found the ranking of OSU statistically insignificant.

“Given that OSU is also in the top 10 for enrollment year after year, it seems logical that it would make the top 10 of many lists. And at a ranking of 3.8 percent (of users surveyed), (it) seems a real stretch to call it a top ‘cheating university,’” Ruzicka said in an email.

The placement of OSU on the list sparked debate about the accuracy of the list and the AshleyMadison.com website in general. A few students became interested in the website and the results of the study.

Bobby Seitz, a second-year in industrial engineering and economics, said he does not think this is an accurate depiction of cheaters nationally.

“Personally, I think it is sad that someone found an interest in compiling data about which colleges supposedly cheat the most,” Seitz said.

Colin Anderson, a fourth-year in aerospace engineering, said he also finds the study flawed, with little purpose.

“I feel that the attempt to link any particular university to a higher infidelity rate seems silly,” Anderson said.

OSU has about half a million alumni. Other schools in the top 10 included the University of Michigan, the University of Iowa and the University of Southern California.

Record number of visitors flock to workout centers on campus Alex Drummer Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu For Ohio State’s Office of Recreational Sports, January is known as the busiest month of the year.

New Year resolutions and a renewed commitment to get fit bring in crowds when students return to campus for classes after winter break. This year drew record-breaking numbers of gym-goers, but students returned in January to find more than $85,000 in upgrades and new equipment along with the influx of people.

OSU’s recreational facilities broke their all-time attendance record Jan. 8, said senior associate director of Recreational Sports administration and programs Marci Shumaker.

“We had 12,726 visitors across all the indoor rec facilities (on Jan. 8),” Shumaker said.

She said that number beat the previous record by about 400 people.

Although there is not much data on attendance available yet because campus was shut down for the first two days of the semester because of extreme weather conditions, Shumaker is optimistic about the month ahead.

“January is consistently the busiest month,” Shumaker said. “If history is to be believed, we’re going to be probably as busy as we typically are in January, if not busier.”

Melanie Rose, a second-year in sport industry, works as a member services assistant at the RPAC swiping people’s BuckIDs when they enter the facility.

“You begin to notice regular RPAC users in the shifts that you work, and I can definitely say that I’ve seen a lot of new faces and new groups of people coming in,” Rose said.

She said she has also encountered the crowds

while personally working out, but they don’t bother her.

“Dealing with the crowds is bearable and not as bad as some people think it is. I applaud and have respect for the people that want to start fresh in the new year, and what better way to do that than with exercising and being active?” Rose said.

Other students, though, such as Sam Tovissi, a second-year in business, said they haven’t had the same patience when it came to dealing with the crowds.

“I did go (Jan. 8). It was ridiculous. I ended up just leaving,” Tovissi said.

He said Jan. 8 wasn’t the first day he noticed there were more people at the gym either.

“I have noticed a lot of people at the RPAC every day since being back from break. Compared to the end of last semester, there is a clear rise in attendance,” Tovissi said. “I have started working out at JO South to beat some of the crowds. It is sometimes much less crowded there than the RPAC.” Along with heightened attendance at the recreation facilities on campus, improvements and new class offerings are in place for the new year.

New fitness equipment was installed over break, as well as new wood courts at the Adventure Recreation Center and a glass wall at Jesse Owens South, Shumaker said.

The wood courts, which say “The Ohio State University” on them, cost $42,770. That cost also included some board repairs, Thomas said in an email. She attributed the information to Dave DeAngelo, senior associate director of facilities for Recreational Sports.

The eight-foot glass wall provides a view of the street and allows for more natural light, and cost about $38,000, DeAngelo said.

New classes include different cycling classes, classes incorporating hip hop dance moves and

kickboxing-based classes, said Katie Thomas, interactive marketing coordinator for Recreational Sports.

One of the new classes, Barre None, has become increasingly popular in Columbus and is a combination of “ballet, palliates, and yoga,” Thomas said.

While doing Boxing Body Sculpt, which is another new class taught in a circuit style that emphasizes kickboxing skills, students “can really punch out (their) aggression towards (their) school work and relieve stress,” Thomas said.

All fitness classes are free for students who have a rec membership. A recreational fee of $123 is charged to every student taking at least four credit hours at the Columbus campus.

This charge “provides support for all campus recreational sports facilities, programs and services,” according to the university registrar website.

“Students who are assessed the fee are automatic

members of the recreational sports facilities and eligible for all member benefits.”

Rose said the classes are a good way to take advantage of the gym membership.

“The classes really give students the opportunity to easily get a work out in while still having fun with friends,” Rose said.

Students who wanted to enroll in a quarter-long class used to have to pay $50 to attend, however, starting in Spring Quarter 2012 the classes were free of charge.

“Ever since Rec Sports made them free to students, the numbers have increased substantially. It’s an amazing thing, and I love that students, both girls and guys, can use those as a tool to get motivated and be fit,” Rose said.

Bielema posted a statement to Twitter via his account, @BretBielema, Tuesday about coaching changes, but did not specifically mention Ash’s name.

“Have always felt transition on my staff has allowed us to get even better. Have had success hiring right people and will again. #woopig #1-0,” Bielema’s initial tweet read, sent at 1 p.m Tuesday.

He followed it with another tweet 12 minutes later.

“Very happy for former coaches that decide to move to new challenges, the respect our staff gets nationally will continue to grow. #woopig,” the tweet read.

At Arkansas, Ash made $550,000, according to the USA TODAY coaches’ salaries database. In his second and final year at OSU, Ash’s predecessor, Withers, earned $585,000.

The Razorback defense finished ranked 73rd in passing defense during the team’s 3-9 campaign in 2013, giving up an average of 235 yards per game.

Union from 1A gifts, greeting cards, school supplies … it’s all the same mix,” Smith said.

Even if Station 88 had stayed, however, the stock would have been different.

“The university switched over to J. America as a clothing vendor, so it was going to change anyway, regardless of whether it was us or the university running it,” Smith said.

It was announced in November 2012 that OSU had entered a 10-year, $97 million agreement with two apparel and retail businesses, J. America Sportswear and Fanatics Inc., to exclusively produce and sell university apparel. According to a Dec. 31 email from OSU spokesman Gary Lewis, however, “no agreement has been finalized” with Fanatics Inc., and other vendors have been considered to fulfill its role.

Apparel company Lids, based in Indianapolis, took over the online apparel in September and stadium and store apparel in July, Lewis said in a Jan. 10 email.

The J. America contract is valued at $85 million which Lewis said “is consistent with the previous announcement” of $97 million for the two companies.

Isaacs said part of the reason OSU made the switch was so visitors could take advantage of Barnes & Noble’s new offerings.

Unlike the Barnes & Noble College store in Enarson Classrooms Building or the Barnes & Noble located at 1598 N. High St., however, the store in the Union is not planning to stock textbooks.

“There’s not enough room to do textbooks in that store. You could never do it,” Smith said.

She said the store in Enarson Classrooms Building

OSU’s pass defense finished ranked 112th in the country, giving up an average of 268 yards per game.

Johnson spent the last 19 years in State College, Pa., coaching the defensive line for the last 15 seasons. At Penn State, he groomed a total of seven first team All-Americans, including the top pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, defensive end Courtney Brown.

Johnson’s salary was not available on the USA TODAY coaches database, but in his final year at OSU, Vrabel’s base salary was $291,004.

According to PennLive, Johnson was offered to stay as the defensive line coach at Penn State by James Franklin — who was officially hired as the Nittany Lion head coach Saturday — but declined.

The new faces on the OSU defensive staff look to strengthen a unit that has digressed in Meyer’s two year tenure. The Buckeyes finished with the 19th best defense in 2011 — the year before Meyer arrived — 34th in 2012 and 47th overall this past season.

The Buckeyes are set to kick off their 2014 campaign Aug. 30 against Navy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

is almost 12,000 square feet, while the Union store is only about 2,700 square feet.

Smith said Barnes & Noble’s contract with the Union lasts until April 30, 2016, with automatic renewals through 2025.

Barnes & Noble is expected to pay a monthly fee to Student Life calculated on a percentage of annual gross sales, Isaacs said.

As for the length of the contract, Smith said the long-term planning was necessary.

“It’s the same thing … like at (South Campus) Gateway. We make a substantial investment in equipment and technology, so you need to have enough time to do that,” Smith said.

Michelle Bullock, a second-year in speech and hearing science, said she used to shop at Station 88 all the time, but stopped after they had a closing clearance sale.

“I kind of liked it in-house. We already have (Barnes & Noble) on High (Street),” Bullock said.

The store still has Station 88 branding out front and throughout the space.

Kristen DeJongh, a first-year in physics, thought it was “weird” that the signage had not been changed yet.

Smith said new Barnes and Noble signage for the store is currently in production, but there is no cost available yet as the store is waiting for OSU to supply some design work.

Regardless of the changes that have yet to be made, Isaacs said he’s hopeful about the future of the space.

“We (are) pleased with the relationship, and we certainly expect both parties to benefit from the store,” Isaacs said in an email.

Enrollment from 1A Evanovich said diversity is a “strategic pillar” for the university.

“Diversity for us is racial, ethnic, economic, geographic, gender. We look at all of the different diversity opportunities,” he said. “That’s why it’s important. It really enriches the experience of our students here.”

Evanovich said while there is currently no plan to create a numerical goal for a more diverse future on OSU’s part, the university aims to continue working to attract people of diverse backgrounds, in and outside of Ohio.

“We want to make the learning experience even stronger,” he said.

Kingmakers plays cards, defeats board-dom in C-Bus

Shelby Lum / Photo editor

Patron Melissa Vargo searches through board games at Kingmakers, which carries about 230 titles. The board game parlor is located at 17 Buttles Ave.

AMANDA ETCHISON Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu One Ohio State alumna is transforming the beloved pastime of weekend board game nights into a new business opportunity.

Kingmakers, a board game parlor located at 17 Buttles Ave., encourages visitors to revel in the nostalgic memories of late-night games of Life and Risk by exploring its extensive collection of board games housed on the shelves.

Malika de Silva, who graduated with an MBA from the OSU Fisher College of Business in 2010, founded Kingmakers, which opened its doors Jan. 7. De Silva said she became interested in opening a business of her own shortly after starting graduate school.

“I had this idea my first year of business school that I really wanted to open my own business,” she said.

After moving to San Francisco and experiencing the world of corporate business as an inventory planner for Williams Sonoma, de Silva returned to Columbus with her sights set on smaller, local business endeavors.

“I’ve been basically trying to open this business for about a year and a half,” said de Silva.

The popularity of board game cafés has gained considerable momentum throughout the world, with independently owned shops appearing in cities such as Toronto and New York. The cafés typically serve food and drinks and offer guests the opportunity to pay a small cover or rental fee to gain access to a vast collection of board games.

Some cafés, such as Toronto’s Snakes & Lattes, have libraries featuring more than 3,000 board and card games. De Silva said Kingmakers has about 230 titles on its shelves, but expects the collection to grow.

“I think that we could just grow and grow our library,” de Silva said.

“I think that’s definitely something we want to do.”

While adding to the parlor’s collection continues to be an ongoing project, de Silva said one aspect of Kingmakers is the staff’s ability to educate guests about each game.

“The most important thing for us has been to have our servers, who we’re calling ‘board game sommeliers,’ really be able to wrap their minds around the games and know how to teach (our guests),” de Silva said.

From classic favorites like Clue to multiple collectors’ editions of Monopoly, Kingmakers aims to cater to guests of all ages.

“It’s definitely a very thought-out collection … everything is on the shelf for a reason,” de Silva said. “We are looking for games that are really fun, games that are social and get people to interact or to think or to laugh or to be silly … games that are really enjoyable to a wide audience.”

De Silva said Columbus is an ideal city in which to open a business like Kingmakers.

“Columbus is generally very supportive of small business and new enterprises,” she said. “I think (Columbus is) always looking for a great idea and something new to try.”

Columbus is home to an active board gaming community.

Members of the Columbus Area Boardgaming Society, based in Worthington, have won more than 50 World Boardgaming Championships and host an annual gaming convention each fall, according to their website.

Additionally, the Origins Game Fair, organized by The Game Manufacturers Association, a nonprofit trade association based in

Kyle Wyant, an employee at Kingmakers, reads an instruction manual to a board game. The board game parlor is located at 17 Buttles Ave. Columbus, is hosted at the Greater Columbus Convention Center each year.

OSU currently has at least two board gaming organizations: Board to Death and the Miniatures and Gaming Association.

De Silva said she believes that the Columbus community is happy to come to a place like Kingsmakers.

“I think people are having a good time and we’ve gotten some great feedback,” she said.

Matthew Thompson, a fourth-year in electrical engineering, said Kingmakers adds diversity to the entertainment options available to OSU students and their friends in the Columbus area.

“It’s a good idea because it gives more places for you and your friends to actually hang out with each other,” he said. “Going to places like Kingmakers allows you to actually have interactions with other people and have fun in a nice environment.”

De Silva said she hopes Kingmakers continues to make a name for itself in the Columbus area.

“What we’re hoping is that we will have a very consistent experience. So when you come down to Kingmakers, you know what you’re getting for the evening,” she said. “It’s a very casual, easy-going place to hang out. People who have come down to Kingmakers say it’s very uplifting and it’s a very nice environment. I guess that’s what we’re going for.”

Kingmakers is open from Tuesday to Thursday 5–10 p.m., Fridays 5 p.m. — midnight, Saturdays 1 p.m. — midnight and Sundays 1–10 p.m. A $5 library fee gives visitors unlimited access to Kingmakers’ collection of games.

Cole Swindell to ‘Chill’ with Luke Bryan in Columbus JACOB HOLLAR Lantern reporter hollar.38@osu.edu

Country singer Cole Swindell is set to open for Luke Bryan at the Schottenstein Center Jan. 16.

4A

By “Chillin’ It,” Cole Swindell has finally received his first break as a professional musician.

Columbus is the first stop on Luke Bryan’s That’s My Kind of Night tour, which features opening artist Swindell.

“It feels like all the hard work and all the long nights of trying to write songs and get better in this business is finally worth it,” the singer-songwriter said.

Luke Bryan, Lee Brice and Swindell are set to perform at the Schottenstein Center Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

While this is Swindell’s first time touring as a performer, he is no stranger to it — or Luke Bryan.

Swindell said he previously worked as the “merch guy” for Bryan, and he wrote several of Bryan’s songs.

Swindell said he tries to write songs that make the audience dance along, gain an emotional reaction and “make the crowd react.”

Though he both writes and performs songs, Georgianative Swindell “definitely” prefers performing, he said.

But the two are hard to compare, he said. While he couldn’t go out and perform if he didn’t love it, he said

he also loves writing and really enjoys finding the perfect lyrics.

Swindell’s skillset in writing and performing came together for his first single, “Chillin’ It,” released Oct. 29 on iTunes.

“I liked it, but I think my boyfriend liked it more,” Kate Thompson, a fourth-year in English, said of the song. “It seemed like more a guy song.”

Swindell said he plans to perform the single and other songs at the concert from his self-titled album, which is scheduled to release Feb. 18.

Tickets for Thursday’s concert start at $26.75.

REVIEW

Switchfoot’s new album stands firm in sound

Thy Thy Nguyen Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu Lantern file photo

Former OSu linebacker Chris Spielman authored the book ‘That’s Why I’m Here: The Chris and Stefanie Spielman Story,’ which details his family’s experiences with his wife’s, Stefanie Spielman, breast cancer. She died Nov. 19, 2009.

Spielman from 1A Through Stefanie’s diagnosis, Chris Spielman said he began to question his goals and his purpose.

“There was kind of a transformation where the older I got and I started having children and the diagnosis with cancer, I had to ask myself a hard question of ‘Who am I and what is ultimately important?’” Chris Spielman said.

His daughter attested to that change in his path.

“He gave up everything for my mom. He took a year off football when she got sick, and I think that is when he first started to experience this change, and (see) what is important in life,” Maddie Spielman said.

The book also describes the connection that Chris and Stefanie Spielman had during their time together.

“I was fortunate to be able to see their relationship they had for 15 years, and just to see their true and unconditional love that they had for each other,” Maddie Spielman said.

Along with the unconditional love, Chris Spielman said his four children were his emotional support throughout the experience.

“I think as a father raising kids at that time, you just don’t know how they’re going to react at such, at such a difficult time.

For me, watching them go back to school and continue doing sports, being with their friends and continue doing their best, obviously they struggled at times, but were able to deal with a very public loss,” Chris Spielman said.

The Stefanie Spielman fund “is devoted to advancing research in breast cancer,” according to the fund’s website.

Though seeing his children smile and continue going through their daily lives helped him in dealing with sadness, Chris Spielman said religion also played a heavy role in his family’s life and essentially helped their family during Stefanie’s illness.

“Our faith gave Stefanie and ourselves a lot of peace because we knew where she was going and according to our belief, there would no more fear, no more sorrow, no more pain,” Chris Spielman said.

Chris Spielman said Stefanie’s illness did not stop her from doing as much fundraising as possible for cancer awareness.

“We always realized that we are in the position to help people. For whatever reason, we were given a platform and for whatever reason, we felt with that platform we can make a difference in somebody’s life, whether it was one person or a million people,” Chris Spielman said.

Throughout her mother’s illness, Maddie Spielman said Stefanie never let that illness stop her from helping others.

“I think we found our strength through her strength, I am fortunate enough to have a family that loves and supports each other through everything,” Maddie Spielman said.

Through her and Chris Spielman’s dedication, the Spielman Fund has raised more than $14 million since 1998.

Chris Spielman said the Spielman Fund gives the ability to help others and their family members as well.

“We also have a patient assistance fund, which helps folks with basic needs that are struggling with cancer, whether it be groceries or gas money,” Chris Spielman said.

He also said the patience assistance fund helps people who might be struggling to afford therapy or any necessities.

Chris Spielman said the ultimate goal of the Spielman fund is to fight cancer, a disease that has affected so many lives.

According to data from the American Cancer Society, more than 1.66 million new cases of cancer were expected to be diagnosed in 2013.

Maddie Spielman, who hopes to become an ESPN reporter, said she also plans to continue to work with the Spielman fund.

“The Spielman Fund is a part of me, and I am always going to speak on behalf of it and be involved in it, because to me, it is my mom,” Maddie Spielman said.

Maddie Spielman said her mother chose to share her experiences as a way of impacting other people’s lives.

“A lot of people go through life not finding their purpose, and not finding what they want to do with their time on Earth.

My mom was fortunate enough to not only know her purpose, but to act upon it,” Maddie Spielman said.

Switchfoot never ceases to amaze me. As a kid who was just about to enter her tweens and on the verge of discovering other music besides albums by the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears that every ‘90s and 2000s kid enjoyed, I remember hearing the band’s songs “I Dare You To Move” and “Learning To Breathe.” After hearing the lyrics and melodies to those songs, I knew I was going to be hooked.

Listening to Switchfoot’s newest album, “Fading West,” which dropped Tuesday, made me remember one reason I will always be an alternative rock fan.

I absolutely love the first song on the album “Love Alone Is Worth the Fight.”

Switchfoot focuses on the aspects of selfidentification and not being afraid to fight for love.

The band also focuses on the ideals of living in the present and taking chances on fighting for true love in the song, despite all of the fears one might have inside. These ideas can be seen when the band sings, “So I’m headed down the open road unknown” and, “We’re only here for a season.” The song is just a little reminder to me that we only live once, and so it’s up to us to take chances for love, even when everything can seem as scary as hell.

“Who We Are” is another fun song that starts out with a short, sweet chorus of counting to five just to get the ball rolling. “Who We Are” reminds me about all of the dreams children have when they are young. The song also has a deeper level of meaning, when the band gets to the part where it sings, “Who we are (in the fever of our youth) / Who we are, (we’ve got nothing left to lose).” The song symbolizes the importance of taking chances

in life while you’re young. Whether the opportunity turns out to be a chance to fall in love, a chance to travel around the world or, in Switchfoot’s case, a chance to play music as a band. It reinforces the theme that you should always take the risk because the opportunity might never come again.

“When We Come Alive” reminds me of the feeling that you can pretty much do anything if you’re with the right person, hence the words, “Burning brightly / You and I.” “All Or Nothing At All” is another great song that completely reminds me of heartbreak.

“Ba55” isn’t a bad song, either. It has a lot of heart and melodic rhythm in its lyrics and a lot of guitar parts to it with low rhythmic beats. The main choruses in the song are “I believe you’re the fire that could burn me clean” and “Let my soul fly.” Because of the lyrics, it sounds sort of like hippie music from the ‘70s to me, but overall, it’s a good song.

The sounds of the instruments fit well with the lyrics, and it’s a song I wouldn’t mind playing in my car stereo.

Overall, I love Switchfoot and the work the band did with this recent album.

studentvoice OSU turns its back on Palestinians’ rights with boycott opposition campus Columnist

Ohio State’s decision to oppose the boycott against Israeli higher education only signals a stance against justice and human rights for Palestinians.

According to the American Studies Association, the boycott was put in place because of Israel’s human rights violations against the chahinaz seghiri Palestinians. seghiri.1@osu.edu “As with South Africa, Israel’s system of racial discrimination, at all institutional levels, constitutes apartheid as recognized by international law under the 2002 Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court,” according to the ASA website.

Academic freedom is essential in allowing growth and inspiration among all learners, but the concept needs to be applied fairly in the case of Palestinians and Israelis.

OSU released a statement on the decision in December.

“The principle of academic freedom includes the unfettered capacity to partner with other scholars and students around the world, and this proposed boycott is the antithesis to academic freedom,” the statement read. “Put simply, we believe that to limit the exchange of ideas is to limit human potential. As a public research and land-grant university, Ohio State was founded with a fundamental and abiding commitment to free and open inquiry, and our opposition to this proposed boycott underscores that commitment.”

While OSU has said it opposes the boycott because of academic freedom, the statement gives a clear doublestandard against Palestinian rights for their own educational liberties.

The ASA website said Palestinian academic institutions are prevented from attending various academic dialogue and events because of restrictions placed upon them by the Israeli government.

Furthermore, Israeli academic institutions have

reenforced the unjust policies implemented by the Israeli government, according to the ASA website.

Despite emphasizing academic freedom, OSU needs to look at the bigger picture of what is truly happening in an area where people’s rights are being restricted and taken away every day.

Palestinians are placed under strict residential laws and some are prevented from traveling to certain areas according to a CNN article by Yousef Munayyer, the executive director of the Palestinian Center and the Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development.

Although these unjust acts are evident, opponents will raise the obvious question, what about the terrorizing acts committed by the Palestinians?

The ASA website says the U.S. is one of the biggest supporters of Israel, and has provided most of Israel’s military and foreign aid.

The U.S. has provided more than $118 billion of aid to Israel since World War II, according to a Congressional Research Service report by Jeremy M. Sharp a specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs.

Israel has the military capability and support from the U.S., which places the Palestinians in a situation where they have to use weapons, which come from neighboring countries, according to an Al-Akhbar article by Hassan Illeik.

During the 22 day strike against Gaza in 2009, more than 1,300 children were killed along with 5,400 injured.

The war also caused 13 Israeli citizens to be killed, according to a CNN article.

Through these statistics, there is a perspective I feel is missing in what is considered to be honest and realistic.

Regardless of the political differences of each side, the inhumane and unjust treatment of a group of people should not be disregarded.

We as students dedicate a part of our lives to enrich our minds, and no one should be deprived of that right.

Furthermore, obvious practice of injustice should be something that no university should stand for, and OSU has unfortunately turned their backs to those seeking their basic human rights.

DIY beauty products cheaper, better for environment Managing editor, design

I haven’t used shampoo in almost two weeks. My shower isn’t broken, I’m not a crazy hippie and I’m not trying to prove a point.

I just think it’s stupid to spend money kayla byler on beauty byler.18@osu.edu products.

Prices on things like shampoo, makeup and hair products are sky high and it’s ridiculous because all of these things are unnecessary. That’s why this year as my New Year’s resolution, I vowed to go 365 days without buying a beauty product. Don’t freak out when I say that like my mom did when I told her.

I’m still going to get essential things like soap and deodorant. However for the next year I will not buy shampoo, any kind of makeup or hair product.

I’ve done some research and found do-ityourself alternatives for almost every beauty product you could ever want, and most of them are cheaper, better for the environment and work

just as well as the store-bought kind. I’ve been experimenting with an alternative way of washing your hair and so far it has been working out great. I’ve even gotten compliments.

Simply, I just disagree that society has these types of standards, especially for women. It’s expected that we should take such extreme measures to make ourselves conform to a commercialized beauty. If no one wore makeup, everyone would just be used to what a normal (beautiful) human face looks like. If images of women used in the media weren’t manipulated to create this idealized, perfect feminine figure, then we would all stop striving for it. We would be happier with ourselves and have more money.

So this year I decided to start with myself and show those around me that this is what I look like and that I’m completely happy with it.

Service projects that empower locals more effective than travel aly gordon Lantern reporter gordon.847@osu.edu Poverty. We see it everywhere: on the subway, on the street and nestled in the dark, dusty nooks and crannies of our campus and city — an ever-looming, oh-so-silent reminder of our fortune and others’ plight. We all know it exists, we all admit it’s a problem and we all, for the most part, have felt that itch — that overwhelming desire to serve. Be it on mission trips abroad, amid the hustle and bustle of a soup kitchen, or through bags upon bags of donated goods, Americans serve their less-than-affluent counterparts with an unmatched vim and an unchecked vigor. Yet unbeknownst to us, as we toil and sweat with myriad “service” projects, we often do more harm than good.

Alongside eight other Ohio State Students, I learned this unsettling yet illuminating fact through a Buck-I-SERV trip with Partners for Care, a nonprofit that actively combats warped conceptions of service. Run by Atlanta’s Connie Cheren, Partners for Care seeks to empower Kenyans in developing sustainable solutions to age-old, poverty-linked problems. The organization helps Kenyans help themselves through their role as a medium: they raise funds and resources here in the United States to support an on-theground team of Kenyan nationals.

While American missions often waste billions in the sheer transportation, housing and feeding of volunteers, PFC decreases this expenditure by directly supporting their Kenyan team. This team then works to develop the nation through jigger treatment, HIV/AIDS education and the distribution of water-packs. These water-packs, produced by Ohio-based packaging company Greif, Inc., are revolutionizing the Kenyan water scene and changing lives.

“Jerry Cans” — the traditional mechanism by which Kenyans transport water — are fraught with both mechanical and health-related issues. They are not only heavy and difficult to transport, but are also easily contaminated, contributing largely to fatal, water-born illness among

6A

children and adults. Water-packs, by contrast, are easily carried and use solar sanitation for decontamination purposes.

With all this newfound knowledge under our belts, we, as OSU students and largely, more fortunate members of society, entered an uncomfortable yet essential period of self-reflection. Had our past service — be it through religious institutions, local organizations or even school — been to no avail? Had we, in our countless quests to help, actually harmed? How could we have overlooked organizations like Partners for Care and PackH2O, which address problems by empowering nationals and creating lasting solutions?

Though our time with PFC was brief, we as volunteers harnessed this new understanding of service as motivation for our various tasks, which included research, writing and sorting donated goods. Rather than sending these goods directly to families, which could perpetuate dependency and hurt the pride of parents, they were instead sent to an inexpensive store founded by the nonprofit Community Grounds where they could then be purchased at low prices by poor families. The parents themselves — not imposing, ever-intrusive “do-gooders” — could give their children a holiday gift.

While many Buck-I-SERV trips end as their buses depart, I am certain that our experience with Partners for Care will extend beyond our work this week. Connie — our host, leader and symbolic mother — has imparted not only the importance of meaningful, well-planned and constructive service, but also the far-reaching impact of passion. A passion for giving back is what drove us to Atlanta, and a passion for constructive service will continue to drive us in our endeavours in Columbus.

Even though classes were just canceled because of cold weather, things are starting to heat up at the Varsity Tennis Center as the Ohio State men’s tennis team looks to begin another championship season.

Despite losing five players, including 2013 NCAA Singles Champion Blaz Rola, the Buckeyes find themselves ranked No. 5 to start the season in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll. There might be lofty expectations for a young team looking to continue a historic run of success, but coach Ty Tucker said fans shouldn’t be surprised if the talent overcomes the inexperience.

“We have some work to do,” Tucker said. “We definitely have the chips, but we just have to figure out the best way to use them.”

When asked who could fill the open spots from last year’s team, Tucker first pointed to true freshman Herkko Pollanen and redshirtfreshman Ralf Steinbach, along

In sports, momentum is everything.

One play can turn a game. Season. Career.

For the No. 11 Ohio State men’s basketball team, that season-turning play could have come against then-No. 5 Michigan State.

After fighting back from a second half deficit of 17 points in the Jan. 7 game, OSU had a chance to win the game in regulation, but junior guard Shannon Scott missed a fast break layup at the buzzer and the game went to overtime.

MSU went on to win the game 72-68 in the extra period, which was followed by an 84-74 loss to Iowa for the Buckeyes, the first time OSU has lost back-to-back games in 11 months.

Now with a trip to Minnesota (13-4, 2-2) up next for OSU, senior guard Aaron Craft and the Buckeyes need to right the ship before the season gets away from them.

“There’s still a lot of basketball to be played and the worst thing we can do is feel sorry for ourselves … We can’t keep this going. We have to find a way to pick ourselves up because no one’s going to do it for us,” Craft said after the loss to the Hawkeyes Sunday. “It’s us 12 players on the team, the coaches and that’s about it.”

The last time OSU lost three straight games was in February 2009, against Wisconsin, Northwestern and Illinois. That was also the last season the Buckeyes failed to make it to at least the Sweet 16 come the NCAA Tournament.

After the Buckeyes lost to MSU, coach Thad Matta said in a conference like the Big Ten, the team has to be ready for a battle each and every game.

“You know, it just keeps coming. We’ll build on positives from this game and we’ll correct the negatives,” Matta said. “We’ll get ready to go again, because it doesn’t get any easier.”

The Big Ten is second in the nation in terms of conference RPI according CBSSports, just behind the Big 12. The Big Ten also has two teams in the top five — No. 3 Wisconsin and No. 4 MSU — and four total in the top 25.

Craft said the strength of every team in the Big Ten means OSU cannot let up at any point.

“It’s not going to get easier,” Craft said. “I think we go through stretches where we want things to be easy. We don’t want them to make a run when we’re up nine, we want them to just die. And they’re not going to do that … That’s probably one of the bigger things we have to do, take out of this game, is that it’s a 40 minute game and we can’t have lapses like we did and we have to find ways out.”

Senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. said after OSU’s 71-31 victory against Louisiana-Monroe Dec. 27 the team was “ecstatic” about the chance to play in such a tightly contested conference.

“There are going to be some great challenges and we are going to learn a lot about this team,” Smith Jr. said. “This is what we have been preparing for all season. I can’t wait to see where we match up against some of the best teams in the country.”

The game against the Golden Gophers is set to tip off at 9 p.m. Thursday.

With Minnesota’s zone defense, the Buckeyes will face something they haven’t seen often this year. Matta said after the game against Nebraska, OSU can’t expect to ever see the same thing twice in the Big Ten. “Every game poses a different scenario in what we might need,” Matta said.

with redshirt-juniors Kevin Metka and Hunter Callahan. Pollanen, who came to Columbus by way of Helsinki, Finland, reached No. 16 in the junior rankings before making his way to campus.

Perhaps Tucker’s most valuable chip, though, is senior Peter Kobelt.

After flipping between No. 1 and No. 2 singles with Rola last year, Kobelt looks to have that spot all to himself in 2014. He has momentum heading into the season from helping the U.S. capture the gold medal at the Master’U BNP Paribas international collegiate team competition in Aix-en-Provence, France.

“It was a great opportunity to play in a high quality tournament against the best all over the world.”

Kobelt said. “We played high quality tennis for four days, represented the USA and won.”

The team’s high ranking should be put to the test all season as there are seven teams ranked inside the top 30 on OSU’s schedule.

“At Ohio State, we try our best to play the greatest and best in the country,” Tucker said.

Even with a treacherous schedule and four of the starting six being

Then-redshirt-sophomore Hunter Callahan bats a ball away during a match against Minnesota April 7 at the Varsity Tennis Center. OSU won, 7-0. first-time starters, the goal for the team remains the same.

“The goal is to win the Big Ten title,” Tucker said.

Considering the team has won seven titles in eight years, anything less could be viewed as a letdown, Kobelt said.

“Our goal is to always win the

Big Ten. The Big Ten is ours,” Kobelt said, “I don’t want to lose it in my last year.”

The Buckeyes begin play Jan. 22 against Butler and Xavier in Columbus.

‘Consistent’ Alston growing into leader for Buckeyes James Grega Jr. Lantern reporter grega.9@osu.edu Ameryst Alston is holding court in the women’s basketball program and she’s only in her second year.

Coming in at 5 feet 9 inches, the sophomore guard has been on fire this season and has shown no signs of slowing down.

Through 19 games this season, the Canton McKinley High School grad is averaging 16.9 points per game, which leads the team, and is also fifth in the Big Ten. She is the only Buckeye to average doubledigits in points so far this season.

Despite only being a sophomore, coach Kevin McGuff said he has plenty of confidence in his starting point guard.

“We are at our best when she is playing very aggressively,” McGuff said. “She has made great strides since the first day we were here.”

Alston earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors after tying a career-high 29 points in her performance against previously unbeaten and then-No. 22 Indiana.

The news came as a surprise to Alston, who found out via social media. But how she got the news didn’t diminish its impact.

“I actually didn’t even know,”

Sophomore guard Ameryst Alston (14) dribbles the ball during a game against Michigan Jan. 5 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 64-49.

Alston said. “I got on Instagram and got on Twitter and that’s how I found out and it always means a lot to me.”

Alston is coming off a season where she was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. She was also fourth on the team in scoring with 6.5 points per game and tied for second with 30.3 minutes per contest.

She also set a school record with 55 minutes played during an 82-75 triple overtime loss at Purdue Jan. 14, 2013.

Indiana coach Curt Miller noted Alston’s success in one-on-one, a skill Alston said she sees as her strong point.

“The one-on-one ability by Ameryst … was the big difference in the game tonight,” Miller said after the Buckeyes beat Indiana 70-51.

“They created havoc with their penetration.”

Alston said she has confidence in one-on-one situations.

“I really like one-on-one,” Alston said. “I play with my brother one-onone all the time and that’s my thing.

I am pretty confident.”

Along with leading the team in scoring Alston is second on the team in assists per game (2.5) and sixth in rebounds (3.5).

With her increased presence on the court, Alston is being forced to step into the role of a leader, which is something she has been working toward improving.

“I am still learning to be a leader,” Alston said. “I am working on it. It’s me trying to get outside myself because I am a quiet person and being a point guard, you have to talk.”

While Alston might be quiet, that doesn’t stop her teammates from taking notice of her contributions.

Junior guard Raven Ferguson noted that despite the team’s inconsistency throughout the season, Alston has remained consistent.

“A lot of players have been up and down,” Ferguson said. “She’s one of the players who has been very consistent scoring wise and playing hard. We kind of feed off of her.”

Alston looks to continue her successful play when the Buckeyes hit the road for State College, Pa., to take on Penn State Thursday at 7 p.m.

sports Family environment big for OSU men’s hockey Canadian freshmen Taylor cameron Lantern reporter cameron.883@osu.edu

Kelly roderick / For The Lantern

Freshman goalkeeper Matt Tomkins (31) saves the puck during a game against Michigan State Jan. 11 at the Schottenstein Center. The teams tied, 1-1.

The biggest difference – the “lingo.”

Ohio State men’s hockey freshman goalie Matt Tomkins said that was the most noticeable difference between his home country, Canada, and the United States.

“Us Canadians get a kick out of some of the things we hear (in the U.S.), but I’m sure the local people say the same thing after having a conversation with us,” Tomkins said.

OSU (11-6-1, 1-2-1) recruited two international freshmen to join the Buckeyes in the 2013-14 season along with five other players from within the U.S. “It’s pretty special being a part of the Buckeye family and (it) is something you know will be special before you get here, but you don’t really understand the magnitude of how special it is until you are actually a part of it,” Tomkins said. “Having the opportunity to play for one of the most respected sports programs in the country was extremely exciting and is still pretty surreal to this day.”

Though exciting and surreal, the change from Canadian to American culture has brought on some challenges for the players.

“Here in Ohio, all they play on TV is football and basketball, and the people can’t stop talking about those two sports either,” freshman defenseman and Alberta native Josh Healey said. “So (it’s) just two opposites really, but I don’t mind the change.

“I come from a place where all they talk about it hockey, everyone plays hockey whether it be in an organized league or on the outdoor rink,” Healey said.

Healey said aside from the sports cultural differences, America is very similar to Canada. However, both athletes have found comfort in their teammates to help make the adjustments easier.

“A big part of making the transition easy was obviously coming in to an environment such as I did where I was part of a team and family right away, with many people ready to help me with anything we needed,” Tomkins said.

Healey said he receives support both on and off the ice.

“Whether it be advice from a senior or help getting set up in the dorms, someone has always been there,” he said.

Aside from adjusting to the new environment and balancing school with hockey, Tomkins and Healey said they feel like any other college freshman adjusting to the new phase of college life.

“I love Columbus so far.” Tomkins said. “I am especially excited to have a car next year and be able to explore the city and area even more.”

Next up the team is scheduled to take part in the Hockey City Classic against Minnesota Friday at 9 p.m. in Minneapolis.

No matter OSU/UM allegiance, all should support Austin Hatch Sports Columnist

When Michigan’s next basketball recruiting class takes the court for the first time, Ohio State fans might have to second-guess their usual reaction because of one player with a hard-to-believe story.

Two plane crashes in the span of eight years. The first, in 2003, took the lives of his mother, brother and sister. The second, in 2011, killed his father and stepmother and left him in Brett Amadon a medically induced coma for amadon.2@osu.edu nearly two months.

Austin Hatch, who at the time was living in Fort Wayne, Ind., had committed to play basketball at the University of Michigan just 10 days earlier.

Three years later, Hatch is back in the news, only this time, it was for all the right reasons.

Now 19 and playing for Loyola High School of Los Angeles, Hatch returned to the basketball court last Wednesday and sank

the first shot he attempted in a comeback story that would make anyone come close to tears.

As if that was not enough, John Beilein, coach of the Michigan Wolverines, has said he will honor the scholarship that Hatch earned before the plane crash.

What a class act.

During a time where winning is everything, and every scholarship matters, Beilein is honoring a commitment made to a player who deserves to put on a jersey every single night.

Too often in today’s day and age, the sports world is overrun by individuals who are in the news for solely negative reasons instead of those who deserve recognition.

It’s a shame that Hatch has had to deal with a great amount of adversity at such a young age, but I know one thing is certain: he has handled it better than I ever would have.

Call it a miracle if you will, but at the end of the day, Hatch has displayed perseverance that gives a whole new meaning to the word resilience.

Ultimately, when Hatch steps onto the floor next season for the University of Michigan, I know I’ll be watching, cheering for him and Beilein to succeed, regardless of who they are playing.

I hope you all will too.
