Qing Dai Lantern reporter dai.133@osu.edu After shootings at two U.S. universities shook students last week, some Ohio State officials said OSU would be ready if something similar were to happen in Columbus. A Purdue University student fatally stabbed and shot a fellow student in West Lafayette, Ind., Tuesday. The student who committed the crime was charged with murder Thursday. Another shooting was reported at South Carolina State University Friday, which resulted in a student’s death. One suspect has been arrested so far in the latter case. University spokesman Gary Lewis sent a university statement about the shootings to The Lantern in an email. “We were saddened to hear about tragic events on other college campuses this week, and our thoughts and support go out to the victims, their families and our colleagues at those institutions,” he said. Lewis also emphasized OSU’s efforts toward university safety. “The safety of our students, staff, faculty,
patients and university guests is of the utmost importance,” he said. “These tragic incidents are unfortunate reminders that we should all be familiar with the many resources available to help us keep our community safe.” David Rose, the University Police patrol bureau captain, said officers at OSU would be ready if a shooting happened on campus. “University (Police officers) are well-prepared with training, equipment and technology to respond appropriately and effectively to an incident, such as those which have taken place at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech,” Rose said. In February 2008, a man shot 21 people, five of whom were killed, at Northern Illinois University, before he shot and killed himself. In April 2007, a Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University student fatally shot 32 people at Virginia Tech before killing himself. There was also a shooting on OSU’s campus in March 2010. An OSU employee shot a manager and a shift leader at the OSU Maintenance Building before shooting himself. The shooter and manager both died from gunshot wounds, but the shift leader survived. The university has a variety of ways to communicate with students if immediate action is required to keep them safe, Lewis said, including the Buckeye
Alert system, which notifies students, staff and faculty, as well as others, about potential threats in the campus area via text message. When a potential threat of a shooting or explosive violence was identified by the university April 7, OSU informed students via public safety notice. The threat was reportedly geared at a “cafeteria” or unspecified area on campus. Police presence was increased on campus the following day investigating the claims that were made on a website. Four days earlier, University Police had issued a notice for a similar threat made on a fantasy, role-player game site. Despite recent events, some OSU students said typically they don’t worry much about their safety at OSU. “OSU is a (generally) safe campus,” said Amy Roberts, a fourth-year in linguistics. Roberts said she thinks the shootings this past week might influence OSU officials’ view of safety on campus and might even lead to changes. “(The shooting at Purdue was) a lot of closer than the shooting at Virginia Tech a few years ago,” Roberts said. Zack Sobel, a third-year in psychology, said the shooting at Purdue could have easily happened at
The sea of scarlet and gray in the south end zone at Ohio Stadium is about to grow a little bigger for the coming season at the price of nearly $9 million. Seating is being added to the south stands to move about 2,500 students out of the north end zone C-Deck, Dan Wallenberg, associate athletics director of communications, said in an email. The project is set to start this week with an August completion date, Wallenberg said, and construction company Barton Malow is working on the project. Permanent lighting installations on top of the stadium walls are also set to be added to Ohio Stadium during this time. The entire project is slated to cost the Department of Athletics $8.9 million, Wallenberg said. The project’s completion is set to result in 18,900 total student seats in the south stands and 9,400 at the north end, he said. North stand student seating is split into two parts: 5,500 seats in the lower-level A-Deck and 6,400 in the upper-level C-Deck. The 2,500 seats that will no longer be for students specifically will come from the upper deck only, Wallenberg said. Current seating capacity in Ohio Stadium is 102,329, according to the athletics facilities website. Attendance is typically about 105,000 for games, though, which Wallenberg said is because OSU Marching Band members, ushers and media are counted in the total as well. Availability and pricing of student ticket packages will not be affected by the expansion, Wallenberg said. Some students said the expansion will create a more intimidating atmosphere in Ohio Stadium. “Game-wise, it will definitely be louder in the south stands now,” said Lauren Franke, a fourthyear in nutrition who purchased student tickets in the south stands this year. “As far as student spirit, it will be harder to get everything (various cheers) going, because there’s not as much interaction with

Restaurant, bar to Renovations restrict Woody’s Tavern’s hours open near campus Maria Nicoloulias For The Lantern nicoloulias.4@osu.edu
Woody’s Tavern in the Ohio Union is set to be closed daily until 3 p.m. for the foreseeable future because $64,000 in kitchen renovations are running behind schedule. The renovations, which include the installation of three new ovens, were started during winter break and slated for completion before students returned for Spring Semester. Changes to the location of the ovens resulted in delays, said Dave Isaacs, spokesman for Student Life. Isaacs said limiting the hours of operation is necessary to allow the contractors to get work done in the most efficient and timely manner. “There isn’t a firm completion date, but we hope to go back to our regular schedule before mid-February,” Isaacs said. The new pizza ovens are set to allow Woody’s to offer a better product and expand

Snow plows through campus A snow plow pushing snow on 18th Avenue. An estimated 2.2 inches of snow fell on Columbus Sunday with temperatures dropping as low as 17 degrees, according to the Weather Channel.
Combining beer, coffee, a chef and an arcade in one location may seem like an unusual mix, but it happens to be the selling point for the owners of Ethyl & Tank, the newest bar and restaurant set to come to the campus area. Taking the place of a pet shop, Ethyl & Tank is set to be a versatile space catering to Ohio State students in its location across from the Ohio Union. “This is a space where all those aspects are well-integrated together and kind of melt and mesh perfectly,” said Ali Alshahal, one of the store’s owners. The new establishment, located at 19 13th Ave., is set to open Feb. 4. with about 40 people on staff, Alshahal said. The establishment is named after a gas station in Savannah, Ga., Alshahal said, and was developed by the team responsible for renovating The Crest and Fourth Street Patio Bar & Grill. One of Ethyl & Tank’s highlights, Alshahal said, will be food prepared daily by a chef, featuring items such as pork rinds, catfish, handcrafted burgers and meatloaf. Pat Dunleavy, another individual responsible for the development of the restaurant , said the group put a lot of thought into the development of the restaurant’s menu. “A big part is our passion, our passion for the beer and for the food,” he said.

Professor: Lack of funding for OSU-China program leads to missed opportunities Emily Hitchcock Lantern reporter hitchcock.47@osu.edu While a Chinese company and council each recently invested thousands of dollars in Ohio State graduate students, some prospective students are losing an opportunity to participate in a master’s degree program because of a lack of scholarship funding from within the U.S., a director of the OSU program said. In July, the flagship program’s website announced seven OSU Chinese flagship graduate students had been awarded full scholarships by the China Scholarship Council to study at Chinese universities for the 2013-14 academic year. Meanwhile, though, none of the six graduate students currently studying at OSU through the flagship program are being provided any scholarships, Galal Walker, professor of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures and director of the Midwest U.S.– China Flagship program, said. “Not everyone can self-fund for this kind of program,� Walker said. “We’ve had to tell some people that would be very good, that we’d really like to have, that we don’t have the funding for them.� The OSU Midwest U.S.-China Flagship program is a two year master’s program for students to become more proficient at Mandarin Chinese, according to its website. The program costs about $11,300 for in-state students and about $28,700 for out-of-state students, according to its website. Many American businesses do not see the need to fund scholarships
for Americans who want to learn Chinese when some Chinese people can speak English, Walker said. “Sometimes rather than our students working for American companies, they will be working for Chinese companies,� Walker said. “The Chinese are internationalizing and they see the value of people who are conversant and adaptable to both cultures.� Recently, the six students currently studying at OSU through the program had the opportunity to sharpen their skills because of a Chinese company’s funding. Chinese appliance company Haier paid between $30,000 and $40,000 for six graduate students and three instructors in the OSU Midwest U.S.-China Flagship program to work at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Jan. 7, Walker said. The CES is an annual trade show for manufacturers, developers and technology hardware suppliers to network and attended conference programs, according to its website. The students were in charge of bringing in an audience for Haier’s presentation of a new air conditioning concept. The students and instructors flew out Jan. 6, attended the trade show Jan. 7 and flew home Jan. 8, Walker said, and Haier paid for everything. The goal of the flagship project is to bring students up to the level of language and culture so that they can interact with the Chinese successfully and comfortably, Walker said. Students were able to showcase some of the skills they learned through the flagship program during their trip to the CES. Briun Greene, a first-year graduate student in the OSU Midwest

Robert Bindschadler, an emeritus scientist from NASA, speaks Friday at Derby Hall. Bindschadler talked about the issue of ice loss in Antarctica.
One NASA scientist said hundreds of millions of people will be forced to relocate if global water levels continue to rise. Robert Bindschadler, a NASA emeritus scientist, gave a speech at Ohio State Friday to bring the issue of ice loss in Antarctica into the sight of OSU students. Bindschadler’s speech, titled “What Ice Sheets Hate,� addressed the relationship between climate change and shrinking ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. Bindschadler said ice loss is an important issue to be aware of because it could cause the sea level to rise, which would lead to “extreme stress both culturally and economically.� About 80 faculty and students attended the seminar, held in Derby Hall and was co-hosted
by the Department of Geography and Geography Graduate Organization, said Christine Chen, a Ph.D. student in geography and a member of GGO. Seongsu Jeong, a Ph.D. student in geodetic science, said he has read articles written by Bindschadler before. “I am writing a paper and Dr. Bindschadler is the author of lots of articles that I have cited,� Jeong said, adding that he attended the speech out of curiosity of what Bindschadler would say. In an interview with The Lantern, Bindschadler responded to those who consider global warming to be a myth. “Global warming is a bad label in a scientist’s (perspective),� Bindschadler said. “Climate change is much better, and one thing that is expected with climate is more frequent extreme weather and we’ve seen that and a lot of people have (experienced that).� Bindschadler said with future research, a more

Threat from 1A OSU because the institutions have similar gun-free environments. He said OSU should consider allowing people with concealed carry permits to carry guns to campus, because it could help protect them from individuals who intend to commit violent crime. “Criminals obviously don’t care if (there are) gun free zones or not,” Sobel said. Concealed weapons are considered those which are kept hidden on one’s person or under one’s control. To obtain an Ohio Concealed Handgun License, several requirements must be met, including completing a 12-hour Concealed Carry Weapons course and passing criminal and mental competency checks. Concealed carry is prohibited at OSU, a regulation University Police Chief Paul Denton has said is a combination of different state and campus policies. Ohio Law ORC 2923.126 prohibits concealed carry on “any premises owned or leased by any public or private college, university or other institution of higher education, unless the handgun is in a locked motor vehicle or the licensee is in the immediate process of placing the handgun in a locked motor vehicle.” The Workplace and Family Relationship Violence
Policy 7.05, which applies to faculty, staff and student employees, states possession of deadly weapons, including firearms, are prohibited on university property, and the Code of Student Conduct, Section 3335-23-04 E., states storage or possession of dangerous weapons, including firearms, is prohibited. OSU does not allow students with concealed carry permit to carry guns to campus, because it is hard for them to identify a crime suspect if multiple people have guns in a shooting scenario, Rose said. Other students agreed with Sobel that OSU’s policy wouldn’t necessarily stop a shooting from happening in the first place. “People who are doing the shooting are not the people who follow the rules,” said Jessica Gehret, a graduate student in social work. The day after the Purdue shooting, a shooting was reported at the University of Oklahoma. The university was shut down as a result Wednesday, but it later appeared to have been a false alarm. Lewis said overall, the best safety measure OSU students can take is to be aware. “The best way to prevent a threat is for everyone to be aware of their surroundings and immediately report anything suspicious,” Lewis said.

At any level of basketball, shooters go through slumps — it’s part of the game. Ohio State senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. was no different in his team’s four games prior to Thursday’s 62-55 win against Illinois. But one shot — that’s all it took for Smith Jr. to get back to where he needed to be and to help get his squad going the right way again. “Lenzelle’s shot at the end of the half, he let that thing go and I’m like, ‘Come on, one time,’” said coach Thad Matta after the win, referring to a 3-pointer the senior buried that gave the Buckeyes a one-point lead with less than a minute left in the first half. It is no surprise that the Buckeyes lost those four games when Smith Jr. shot a combined 13-39 from the field, including just 4-17 from beyond the arc. But against Illinois, he rediscovered the shooting touch that helped his team start the season 15-0 — when he shot 39 percent from deep — pouring in 16 points and matching the number of 3-pointers he had made during those four losses. Smith Jr. said just seeing the ball go through the net was huge for his confidence, and a little bit of extra push from his teammates to keep shooting. “It’s a mental thing,” Smith Jr.

said after the win. “Sometimes I get in a state of mind of, ‘Ah, you missed a shot, maybe you should try to get in the paint now and get a layup.’ Or just tonight, I missed a few shots and (senior guard Aaron Craft and junior forward LaQuinton Ross) specifically said, ‘Shoot the ball!’ They were yelling at me, ‘Why are you not shooting the ball?’ And that kind of gave me that extra motivation of well, they want me to shoot then that’s my job on this team, and I’m (going to) shoot and luckily down the stretch, it came through for us.” The play down the stretch against the Fighting Illini came with just 1:16 left on the clock when his team was clinging to a five-point lead, needing a score to put the game on ice. With the shot clock winding down, the senior from Zion, Ill., found the ball in his hands on the right wing with no choice but to fire. The ball swished through the net, the crowd erupted, and Illinois’ ship sank. The big play came on the heels of a three-point play by Ross and a turnover by Illinois, plays that Fighting Illini coach John Groce said were the difference in the outcome. “Give them a lot of credit,” Groce said after the game. “I thought that Ross’ and-one was huge.

Buckeyes split weekend series with No. 9 Badgers graNt miller Lantern reporter miller.5617@osu.edu The recently created Big Ten men’s hockey conference has been less than kind to the Ohio State Buckeyes. But, in coach Steve Rohlik’s return to his alma mater, the Buckeyes (12-9-1, 2-5-1-0) were able to pick up their second conference victory after a series split against No. 9 Wisconsin (14-7-1, 5-3-0-0). The lone victory on the weekend for OSU came in comeback fashion Saturday, a 3-1 outcome that ended a four-game winless skid. After a scoreless first period, the Badgers snatched the lead midway through the second on a goal by senior forward Mark Zengerle. But less than two minutes later, OSU freshman forward Nick Schilkey skated past two opponents before lifting a backhanded shot into the roof of the net. The Buckeyes took the lead for good less than four minutes later when junior forward Nick Oddo punched in a rebound after sophomore defenseman Sam Jardine’s shot from the point wasn’t held.

teams but we couldn’t seem to find a way to win,” Rohlik said. “Tonight we found a way to win.” Freshman goalie Christian Frey made 36 saves to record his third victory of the season, and Rohlik described him as “the best player on the ice.”
However, things did not go quite as well for the Buckeyes Friday night, as they fell to the Badgers 5-3. Within the first eight minutes, the Buckeyes were already down 1-0 and also without Oddo after he was given a game misconduct penalty for checking Wisconsin senior forward Jefferson Dahl from behind. Afterwards, Oddo wasn’t pleased with his decision on the play. “It was a little frustrating. I shouldn’t have done it,” Oddo said in an interview with U.S. College Hockey Online. “(The game misconduct penalty) was the right call.” Despite losing one of their top scorers in Oddo, the Buckeyes still nailed in the next two goals to take a 2-1 lead in the second stanza. But OSU gave up three goals in succession between the second and third periods, a sequence that proved to be decisive in the home team’s victory. Up next, the Buckeyes are scheduled to return home to take on last-place Penn State (4-15-1, 0-6-0) in another Big Ten matchup. Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. Friday, while Saturday’s game is slated for a 2 p.m. start.
Women’s basketball falls to MSU, 82-68 JameS grega Jr. Lantern reporter grega.9@osu.edu Inconsistency rarely leads to wins and the Ohio State women’s basketball team is learning that the hard way. The Buckeyes (13-10, 3-4), fell at home to Michigan State Sunday, 82-68, for the their third loss in four games. Hopes were high for the OSU against the Spartans, especially coming off a 61-50 win against Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., Thursday, but despite jumping out to an early 9-2 advantage, OSU could not hold the lead. The Spartans altered OSU’s shots on the basket all game and blocked a resounding 11 Buckeye shot attempts, seven by MSU redshirt-junior center Madison Williams alone. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, only recorded one blocked shot in the game. Williams, who did not play in the Spartans’ previous game because of a nagging knee injury, played a career-high 19 minutes, much to the delight of MSU coach Suzy Merchant. “Best game and most minutes she has ever played,” Merchant said about her backup center. “She is such a difference maker.”
OSU coach Kevin McGuff acknowledged Williams’ presence in the paint as well. “She certainly did a great job defensively around the basket,” McGuff said. “We did not handle it well mentally.” OSU senior centers Ashley Adams and Darryce Moore combined for just eight points on 3-13 shooting, with Adams failing to tally a single point. MSU freshman guard Tori Jankoska led all scorers and tied a career-high with 25 points on 7-13 shooting. Jankoska started in place of junior guard Kiana Johnson, who did not make the trip to Columbus because of personal reasons. It was Jankoska’s fourth career start. “I thought Tori and (senior guard) Klarissa (Bell) did a great job considering the circumstances,” Merchant said of her guards’ play. The Buckeyes were led offensively by junior guard Raven Ferguson, who scored a career-high 20 points off the bench in the loss. OSU sophomore guard Ameryst Alston, who leads the Buckeyes in scoring on the season with an average 16.8 points, scored 16 in the loss,

sports Water line breaks at Bill Davis Stadium, no repair cost available Nick Deibel Lantern reporter deibel.30@osu.edu A water line break at Bill Davis Stadium during the extreme cold temperatures Jan. 6 and 7 has displaced Ohio State baseball coaches and complicated batting practice for players. Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said in an email the Department of Athletics has been working with university contractor BELFOR Property Restoration who “assists with restoration effects involving water damage, among other things.” “This work is ongoing, so there is not a cost estimate at this time,” Komlanc said. “Our crew’s first response is always to immediately isolate and

OSU athletics spokesman Brett Rybak said in an email the second floor holds the offices of OSU coach Greg Beals, two assistants, an office for a volunteer assistant and the director of operations and a front desk for a receptionist. “The coaches have been working out of our video room behind our home dugout the last two weeks,” Rybak said. Redshirt-freshman pitcher Joe Stoll said the water from the offices leaked through the ceiling and into the players’ batting cages on the first floor. “The whole side of the building was covered in

Komlanc said repairs mainly involve replacement of drywall, wood trim and carpeting. Multiple calls to BELFOR Property Restoration were not returned. Attempts to obtain photographs of the scene were denied. The OSU baseball team is scheduled to start its season in Port Charlotte, Fla., Feb. 14 against Connecticut as part of the Snowbird Classic.

sports Men’s lacrosse loses to Navy, 15-11, after late rally falls short brett amadon Lantern reporter amadon.2@osu.edu

Junior goalkeeper Cameron Stephens (1) protects the net during a game against Navy Jan. 25 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. OSU lost, 15-11.
Smith Jr. from 4A other than Craft himself, on one of his team-leading five assists. Craft said he and Smith Jr. felt more responsibility than usual to help put an end to the losing skid. “I think Lenzelle and I, both being seniors, we wanted to take it upon ourselves,” Craft said. “We didn’t do anything special, we didn’t say anything that was Earth-shattering or anything. We have a group of guys that’s been through the battles and knows what it takes … It’s about being tough down the stretch and finding whatever we have to do. And that’s what we did today and that’s what it’s about.” A relieved Matta joked that Smith Jr.’s 4-8 shooting performance from three “probably takes him out to about six percent” shooting in Big Ten play, but couldn’t be more proud of his performance Thursday. “Honestly, I’m happy for Lenzelle because he’s been very diligent last few days of in there working and trying to get everything right,” Matta said. “You see that, and that’s what excites you as a coach and you’re happy for him when it goes in.”
The Ohio State men’s lacrosse team has been living on the edge early in 2014. In both of its exhibition matches, OSU fell behind early, and even though the comeback was completed against Hill Academy Jan. 18, it was a different story Saturday against Navy. The Midshipmen, who finished 3-10 last season, took down the Buckeyes 15-11 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Navy got off to a flying start when senior midfielder Pat Kiernan scooped up a ground ball on the opening face-off and scored 10 seconds into the game. Junior midfielder Jesse King tallied the first goal for OSU to tie the game, but the Midshipmen scored the next four to find themselves leading, 5-1, at the end of the first quarter. After extending their lead to 8-2 in the second quarter, King and the Buckeyes took advantage of Navy penalties to get back in the game. “We all move the ball really well,” King said. “We have a lot of the same guys from last year … I think it is just everyone being a threat and working together that makes our man-up really good.” OSU was able to cut the Midshipmen’s lead to 11-10 with just more than five minutes remaining in the third quarter after senior defenseman Darius Bowling registered an unassisted goal.
Though OSU (16-4, 3-4) might be back on track, it still sits in a tie for sixth place in the Big Ten with last-place Penn State (10-10, 1-6) set to visit the Schottenstein Center Wednesday at 7 p.m. But putting a halt to the losing streak — the program’s longest since February 2008 — puts the Buckeyes near where they need to be come season’s end. “It’s very important, obviously,” Smith Jr. said on ending the losing skid. “I don’t think anybody here or in this team signed up to lose games, so I mean obviously guys are feeling a little bit better now. Obviously we know that we haven’t done what we wanted to do, or we got done what we think we should get done but it’s definitely a step closer and it feels good.”

But that was as close as the Buckeyes got as Navy went on to score four of the last five goals in the game to preserve the victory. OSU coach Nick Myers gave Navy credit for coming out of the gates quickly and putting pressure on the Buckeyes. “They got off to a great start on the very first face off,” Myers said. “We had five turnovers in the first quarter which really dug us into a hole.” The Buckeyes were led offensively by King, who totaled seven points on two goals and five assists, as well as senior attackman Adam Trombley and sophomore midfielder Charlie Schnider who both netted hat tricks in the contest. Sophomore attackman Carter Brown, who was third on the team last year in points with 43, has yet to dress for the Buckeyes in their exhibition games as he is recovering from an injury. Myers did not give specifics about Brown’s injury, but said the team will wait and see if Brown can play next week and has no doubt that he will make an impact offensively when he returns. “He is a little nicked up, so it is up to our medical staff,” Myers said. “Certainly, he will give us a little bit of a boost when he does get back in the lineup.” Buckeye senior defenseman Joe Meurer said the team has to learn from its mistakes in order to avoid a second consecutive loss when OSU takes on Robert Morris Saturday. “It’s just about continuing to work hard,” Meurer said. “We need to get in the film room and see what we are doing wrong in order to not make the same mistakes week after week.” The game against Robert Morris is set to start at noon Saturday and is the final time the Buckeyes take the field prior to starting regular season play at Johns Hopkins Feb. 9.
MSU from 4A but said Ferguson is just as capable as a scorer. “She can do this any game that she wants to,” Alston said of her teammate’s career day. Alston, who only went to the free throw line three times throughout the game despite attempting a game-high 18 shots, was not shy in voicing her displeasure with the officiating. “We do not care how big or tough you are,” Alston said on OSU’s game plan to attack the basket. “We did not get those calls at all.” The Buckeyes hope to get back on track when they take on Illinois (9-10, 2-4), scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

A screenshot of PhoneFiction’s website, a digital publications house that gathers contemporary short stories.
THY THY NGUYEN Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu In a world of instant digital access to new music, one Ohio State student wanted to give readers a tool for instant access to short stories. John Preston Witt, a third-year graduate student in English, is the editor of digital publications house and website PhoneFiction. PhoneFiction, which was started in July, involves gathering contemporary fiction and nonfiction short stories from U.S. journal publications and putting them all into a website where readers can gain access to them. “It started off as an experiment and it has become a big project with about a hundred collaborators participating,” Witt said. Witt said he thought of the idea of PhoneFiction when he noticed that a lot of small journal publications were closing because of their lack of funding and recognition from the public. Witt said he noticed there were many journal publications across the country with interesting stories to tell. Thus, Witt said he wanted to create a website that would be dedicated to not only promoting the publications but also the stories themselves. “There’s nothing more rebellious and wild than these writers. The stuff that they write is off the wall, but it gets packaged to look like a textbook,” Witt said. Witt explained PhoneFiction only collects stories from previously published authors. Mark J. Lorenz, a technical cofounder of PhoneFiction, worked on the website. Lorenz said that working on it was “a challenging experience.” The website does not have a list of stories for readers to scroll through. Instead it has only one teaser for a story that is popped onto the main home page. The reader can choose to either read the story or click the next teaser button for another story to read. Lorenz said the main goal is to have people read a story and not spend more time finding a story that they might or might not like to read. “Everything is driven through teasers. Only one story is popped to you from the screen because we want to push you into reading,” Lorenz said. Lorenz explained stories are refined for the reader by the way he or she can choose to click the “I love it!” or “Hate it!” button so they are able to have stories that can assimilate to their interests. “It’s like Pandora for short stories,” Lorenz said. Witt said he often contacts authors from literary journals across the country about their stories, and the authors give him a set of stories from which to

OSU third-year English graduate student John Preston Witt is the editor of PhoneFiction, a digital publications house. choose. PhoneFiction has also been initiating pilot programs in two Central Ohio high schools: St. Francis DeSales High School and Fairbanks High School, to help educators implement more reading into their curriculums, Witt said. Diane Smeenk, an English teacher in Fairbanks High School, used PhoneFiction in an English elective class for her students during fall semester. Smeenk said she allows her students to use their own personal devices such as iPads or laptops in order to read stories and answer questions pertaining to their online assignments. Smeenk said using PhoneFiction has been a success in her classroom, allowing her students to read a wide variety of stories. “It exposed them to a wide range of authors and their interests definitely piqued after reading a few stories,” Smeenk said. The stories helped keep her students engaged with reading, Smeenk said. “It’s really cool. It definitely helps students with their engagement level because the stories are really interesting. They liked that it (the stories) wasn’t the same type of writing over and over again,” Smeenk said. Witt said that it is important to encourage people to read. “Reading in its nature is an act that requires more will power than TV or other media. You’re required to give attention and energy moment by moment. One of its (PhoneFiction’s) primary benefits is that it has a tough learning curve. It requires you to be engaged and to be analytical and awake. We want to break down some of that initial barrier (of having to pay attention) to encourage reading,” Witt said. Witt said in the future he hopes to implement PhoneFiction into more schools in and out of state and he also wants to start a funding process for authors, publishers and school classrooms that are involved with the project. “The end future would be this amazing network that can fund authors, journals and programs in schools,” Witt said. PhoneFiction can also be delivered to the reader via cell phone. Text messages holding links to web pages of one or two teasers of stories can be sent to an individual’s personal phone. Witt said being the editor has been an exciting experience. “It’s been a humbling experience to realize how much good literature is out there and gets so few readers. I like how excited people are becoming about the prospect of getting contemporary literature to more young people,” Witt said.

Alas, the news came out Jan. 16 that many movie junkies had been waiting for — the announcement of nominations for the 86th Annual Academy Awards. There were, like always, surprises and snubs that had people talking. All categories of this award ceremony have garnered my strong attention, but let’s talk about the awards that everyone seems to care about: acting. A big name appearing on the Best Supporting Actress ballot was actress Jennifer Lawrence. Everyone these days seems to be in love with Lawrence, whose highly vocal attitude but sincere acting have earned her a special place in fans’ hearts. I had just seen the film for which she was nominated, “American Hustle” (which is pretty good by the way), the previous week, and while the acting in the film was relatively good, no one particular performance by an actor struck me as brilliant. This includes Lawrence’s. Now that is simply one man’s unsupported opinion and nothing really more. But for some reason, this young star in particular made me ponder a little bit more. Lawrence is a three-time Oscar nominee, and the youngest person to have the achievement at a mere 23 years old. I would have to say that she is a prominent figure in Hollywood society too, with her constant coverage in the media, as it seems that every time I turn on a late night talk show, she is a main guest. When I happen to see all these things online and on television, I simply ask, “Why?” Being a movie fanatic, I have seen her portray all three roles that earned her Oscar nominations, starting from “Winter’s Bone,” which in all honesty was her best Oscar effort in a role, not her portrayal as a bipolar widow in “Silver Linings Playbook.” This brings up an issue that is to me of pressing urgency. Lawrence is getting more love from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences than she deserves. This, however, is not the issue that needs to be brought up. The issue is with the Academy itself. I have always believed the Academy has shown an extensive capability for manipulation over the course of the past decade or so. Voters in this film institution don’t just look at the quality of the works presented to them, but also seem to think about other factors such as popularity and influence from outsiders. Popular actors and actresses, such as Lawrence, have lots of support and popularity and this body of influence intimidates the Academy, I believe, into leaning to their favor when deciding who wins the Oscar. If that isn’t food for thought, ponder how social influence affects the decision of the Academy as well. Think of Halle Berry, who won her Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar for her performance in “Monster’s Ball” in 2002. Her performance was good, but many criticized the Academy for the decision, stating that the roles of other actresses that year were better.

Team USA’s uniforms resemble ugly sweaters MICHELE THEODORE Copy chief theodore.13@osu.edu Congratulations, United States Olympic athletes. You’ve accomplished an incredible feat after endless hours of work at your sport and now you get to perform in front of the whole world. Oh yeah, and you’re going to look ridiculous when you make your grand appearance for the moment you’ve probably been waiting for your whole life. Ralph Lauren unveiled the uniforms Team USA is set to wear in the opening ceremony at the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. And they’re awful. I don’t have a great deal of interest invested in fashion, but I’ve always been a huge fan of the Olympics. I love the way that so many countries come together for one really special moment. Sure, it doesn’t solve any of the countless problems gripping the world today but the idea that so many people can come together for something good and nonviolent has always been really inspiring to me. So, naturally, like any other petty human, I want my representatives to look good while they’re at it. The way they won’t look good is wearing an ugly Christmas sweater. And that’s exactly what the athletes are set to do — except, even better, it’s a patriotic ugly Christmas sweater. It honestly looks like one of the throw blankets in a grandmother’s house got frisky with one of grandma’s sweaters and spawned this full-on hideous ugly sweater, which is the highlighted portion of the uniforms. Don’t get me wrong, I almost get where Ralph Lauren was going with this. You know, the 74-year-old man took a look around and thought, “Huh, there seems to be a trend of really ugly sweaters going on in the winter time. Sure, why not throw it in this outfit?” The worst part is I almost want one to wear — ironically, to a Christmas party — because these sweaters have everything: the date, the country name, the Olympic rings, stars, stripes, America. All it needs are some light up fireworks and party-goers everywhere could really have some inspiration for a Christmas in July meets July 4 party. Presented under this cardigan-like eyesore is a classic white turtleneck. Wait, what? When was the last time any of us bought a turtleneck? I mean, sure, it’s a classic look but I’m pretty sure they’ve gone out of style. Most of these athletes are young, so the look dates them. Worse, it strangles them.

Ralph Lauren (left) designed Team USA’s uniforms for the 2014 Winter Olympics, set to begin Feb. 7 in Sochi, Russia. I’m all about maintaining warmth for the winter competition but luckily, scarves serve the same purpose in a much more flattering manner. Continuing down the uniforms, we come to tight white pants which really aren’t so bad. Skinny pants fit with current style and work for men and women. Sure, I can buy these. But then there’s the lettering on the bottom of the pants that proudly proclaims “2014 Team USA RL,” because Ralph Lauren hasn’t made a piece of clothing in the last 30 years without his name or initials on it. The words make the pants look cheaper and really just create a blemish on an otherwise clean design. They look like high school sportswear gone wrong. Do the Olympic athletes really need a reminder for where they are or what team they’re representing? The rest of the uniform is pretty normal. Socks. Boots. Hat. But it’s all hard to see beyond the sweater. My eyes just keep coming back to it and finding a new pattern to digest. I think it’s great Ralph Lauren used all USA materials (after he missed the ball on that in 2012) but his look represents America in all the wrong ways.

20-somethings can embrace life without Internet’s hacks SHELBY LUM Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu “Zooming In” is a weekly series in which Photo editor Shelby Lum provides her insight on pop culture. There is no such thing as a life hack. The Internet is lying to you. I am a 20-something millennial and the Internet apparently knows more about what my life should be like than I do. It’s exhausting living up to the Internet’s expectations. And guess what, I’m friends with 20-something millennials who love sharing these so-called easy life tips which makes it even more exhausting, and nothing has spread faster than “23 Things To Do Instead of Getting Engaged Before You’re 23.” The forces of women divided instantly. There were those who supported the author with shouts of “YOLO” and cast conventional relationships to the wind. Then women who had happily married well before the age of 23 stood in defiance and wrote responses and blog posts in protest of the “marriage hater.” This isn’t the first blog to write about what’s it’s like to be in your twenties, or what you should do, or what you should wear, or who you should date, or basically outlining every step you should take from the moment your life leaves the teenage years to the second you turn 30. A lot of them have fantastic points. A lot of them have dumb points. The net of it is that no matter how many posts I read about being a 20-something in today’s world, not one has helped me figured life out. Most middle-aged baby boomers probably haven’t figured life out either. I can barely match my socks and I don’t know how to walk in

the snow (still), but I also have a steady job, save money and have traveled to several continents, and in my book, that’s not too shabby. My mom is part of Generation X and still doesn’t know how to balance a checkbook (but she tries nonetheless, bless her heart). There isn’t some grand secret the world is holding out on us for the key to life. There is an infatuation with guiding 20-somethings through life, and it is a valiant attempt to help one of the most obstinate demographics from falling on their faces. But it’s just that — an attempt. Most all these people writing blogs on why you should or should not get married at a certain age aren’t experts, and most are still in the same life struggles as the rest of us who feel the inclination to read them. Not a single post should have people getting as bent out of shape as they are getting. If you want to start a Pinterest board at 17 years old about the perfect man, table center pieces and how you want a photographer to hide in the bushes to capture your special moment when your boy toy proposes, then by all means, don’t stop because of some blog. If you don’t understand on any level why someone would want to be married young and would rather travel and work until your 30s, go for it and frolic through life without a significant other for a while. I refuse to let these lists give me anxiety if I haven’t yet lived an iconically blissful and unworried life typical of my age group, or if I haven’t adopted a pet, or found the man of my dreams or whatever else the web insists are rights of passage for my twenties to be “complete.” Maybe my twenties should just consist of binging on Netflix and perfecting a cookie dough recipe that’s just the right amount of chocolate chip to batter ratio — although that might not pay the bills for the next eight years of my life.
“They are picking an interesting spot right there,” he said. “I’m sure once enough attention is built up for it, people will start getting interested.” Although she does not know much about the establishment yet, Hope Bagarus, a third-year in computer science and engineering, said she would be willing to check it out. “I’d rather go to a bar and hang out with friends there than go to house parties so that sounds like an interesting, fun place to go,” Bagarus said.

JLaw from 1B Look back only a few months before that, I found that some in the black community pressed hard on the Academy that a female black actress has never won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, claiming that prejudice as a factor. Now while there is no way to prove that was the reason Berry won the Oscar that year, the proximity of these two events was very close. The same thing is going on here with Lawrence. Just a few years back, I believe there was a slew of complaints from young Hollywood, that younger actors and actresses don’t get enough consideration with the Academy. Right after, a slew of nominations come in that are guided toward younger actors and actresses, a situation I believe opened the door for Lawrence to enter the scene.
In the end, my words need to be represented in the right manner. I think many blacks and young Hollywood had points when they made their arguments, but that doesn’t mean the integrity of fair judging should be abandoned to appease an angry crowd. That, in a way, is selling out. There are other ways the Academy could have handled those situations, including having more interest in the roles of black or young actors over time. Is Jennifer Lawrence a bad actress? Of course not. She is pretty good, especially in comparison with her contemporaries. However, no matter how much “Entertainment Weekly” or Conan O’Brien like her, the Academy needs to keep a level playing field. Form your own opinions and stand by them, regardless of outside pressure. That right there is honesty.

After countless warnings, Israel States and, sad to say, even in Israel itself, tirelessly ultimately decided to put an end to this travesty. condemn and vilify Israel. Why would they do that? When Israel finally did invade Gaza it took the First, of course, there is good old-fashioned antimost elaborate precautions not to hurt civilians. As a Semitism.

The State of Israel is the foremost creation of the Jewish enterprise and Jewish intellect that has benefited every country in which Jews dwell, certainly our own country, the United States of America. Second only to the United States itself, Israel is the world’s most important factor in science and technology, way out of proportion to the small size of its population. Israeli Jews are at the forefront of the arts, the sciences, law and medicine. They have brought all these sterling qualities to bear in building their own country: Israel. By necessity, they have also become outstanding in agriculture and, most surprisingly, in the military. What a shame that the Arabs opted not to participate in this progress and in this prosperity and chose instead the path of revenge, of Jihad and of martyrdom.

College decisions difficult to navigate as first-generation student For my parents, becoming a doctor was the only successful career choice, so I always had the idea ingrained in my mind. Regardless of how much I begged my parents to let me be a writer, they refused to accept my plea. You see, it was not about just the idea of being successful, it was also about doing something they thought would make me successful. Ever since middle school, I loved to write and putting words on paper came so easy for me. But I couldn’t pursue my dream of becoming a writer because I needed to focus on studying medicine, and I could not disappoint my parents regardless of how much I hated the classes I took. The true frustration started at the end of Winter Quarter of my freshman year, when my grade point average took a severe plunge. I think that was the worst and probably the best thing that happened to me because I finally gathered enough courage to stand up and tell my parents I would not be a doctor. Despite persuading them however, they still continued to show me they were not happy and I soon gave up the writer dream and went into nursing school. It was the next best thing to becoming a doctor, right? Deep down, I still was not happy because I hated what I was doing. Long story short, it was just an endless circle of frustration for my parents and myself because I could not understand why they could not accept me becoming a writer. I can sit here and shoot more facts and statistics out, but this is my first semester back after this crazy adventure, and the pressure to succeed does not bother me anymore. I love what I am doing yet every day I live with this fear of disappointing my parents. I fought so hard to get to this point, and I cannot undo the decisions I made. It is not just about succeeding, as a first-generation college student. I feel obligated to help my parents because they have worked so hard to provide me with the life they never had. No pressure, right? I remember a friend once telling me to just do what I love, but do it to the best of my ability, and that is how I will find success. No matter how much I tried to dismiss their advice however, I knew she was right. So I am back to where I started, and even though I might never be the doctor my parents hoped for, I am slowly building my confidence in my ability to be a writer. I might be wearing the label of a first-generation student, but I have decided to use it as a motivation to beat the statistics and become something I feel is successful.
CAMPUS Columnist
I always knew I wanted to go to college. Despite my love for studying, however, I have never been fully confident in my ability to succeed because of my status as a first-generation college student. First-generation college students are likely to live off-campus, which causes little social integration and are more likely to drop out CHAHINAZ SEGHIRI of college, according to seghiri.1@osu.edu research on the College Board website. Furthermore, the website said first-generation college students are shown to be less academically prepared before beginning college compared to their peers. All these facts are relatable in a sense. I do not live on campus and I work two jobs, which leaves me little time to attend events on campus or get involved. Furthermore my background has made me feel less able to relate to my fellow college students. My father is Algerian and my mother is Chinese. My mother was forced to drop out of high school and my father did not attend college because of poverty and war. Both of my parents have worked hard their entire lives, so for me, college was a no-joke experience. Once I received my acceptance letter, I knew I had to take college seriously because that was my way of being successful and helping to support my family. I did not really have their support when it came to my anxiety about school because neither of them knew or truly understood what it was like being a college student. Therefore, I was utterly clueless about college. I remembered seeing my friends confidently discussing their chosen majors and future goals, and I could barely schedule my own classes. Not only that, but I was also my parents’ prodigy child. I was the child that always had the textbook yanked from my hand because I refused to stop studying. This only led my parents to believe that I would be the child who would become the successful family doctor. I felt conflicted because deep down, I knew I did not want to be a doctor. I had to fight this feeling however, and I had to constantly remind myself the reason why I am attending college. I was not here for myself, I was here to help the most important people in my life, which only added more pressure on me.

Aerie drops photo manipulation, campaigns ‘the real you is sexy’ MUYAO SHEN Lantern reporter shen.414@osu.edu

Aerie used to use photo manipulation on its models as pictured above, but in its newest marketing campaign, it has stopped in an effort to promote ‘more realistic standards for their teen and preteen customers.’ The campaign uses the slogan ‘The real you is sexy.’
While Victoria’s Secret is still using its nearly perfect Photoshop skills to cover flaws in its supermodels’ photos, and Abercrombie & Fitch still holds the opinion that its clothes are most suitable for “cool kids,” American Eagle found its own way to promote new lingerie. In its new ad campaign, American Eagle’s lingerie and apparel line Aerie has stopped Photoshopping its models. In these photos, the beauty marks, tattoos, lines, creases and puckering are all left on models’ bodies and clearly displayed. According to “TIME,” the company said it wants to promote “more realistic standards for their teen and preteen customers.” It immediately became one of the hottest posts on BuzzFeed and hundreds of people were celebrating this hard win against industry standards of beauty. But does it really matter? First of all, let’s be clear about one point: American Eagle is not some sort of charity, who thought of this idea purely from good hearts. Yes, it is so much better than Abercrombie & Fitch, but they are both essentially forms of advertising. Will it free the whole world from the pressure of body images? The answer is no. Second, American Eagle said they stopped using Photoshop, however, some people automatically interpreted this messages as meaning they are no longer using models. Look at these models — they are still skinny and beautiful. Photoshop or not is really not a problem for them since they are already so flawless compared to most people in the real world. But this does not mean we should not appreciate what they are doing. For how many times, I feel self-contemptuous (maybe this word is too strong) after I view Victoria’s Secret’s website. For how many times, I start to be on an unhealthy diet just to be a little bit skinnier. For how many times, I cannot take a leap of faith only because of what I look like. And for how many times, I complain about this world, complain about this society for how they judge me from my body, my face. I believe there are and will be certain girls who walk into Aerie’s store and see its new ads, will look themselves in the mirror and say, “The real you is sexy.”
