Frosty weather keeps OSU closed REGINA BONFIGLIO Lantern reporter bonfiglio.20@osu.edu A blizzard hit the state and led to two straight days of canceled classes for Ohio State in January 1978. While 36 years later, classes have been called off for two consecutive days again, the circumstances are fairly different. The 1978 blizzard killed more than 50 people in Ohio, according to the Akron-Beacon Journal. Temperatures in Columbus Jan. 26, the day the blizzard hit, reached a high of 39 degrees and a low of 1 degree, while winds reached up to 46 mph, according to Weather Underground. In comparison, the temperature in Columbus Tuesday is predicted to hit a high of 11 degrees with a 10 percent chance of snow and winds reaching about 19 mph, forecasted as of Monday afternoon according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures rose to 31 degrees Monday but fell to minus 7 by Monday evening, as winds stayed at about 20 mph. Because of those extreme weather conditions, all OSU campuses are closed for the second consecutive day Tuesday. OSU Emergency Management sent a message to the OSU community Monday at about 3:20 p.m. confirming the closure, and campus is expected to be open and resume normal activity Wednesday. The other OSU branches scheduled to be closed Tuesday are ATI Wooster, Mansfield, Newark, Lima and Marion. “Essential personnel” are expected to report to work as usual, according to the OSU Emergency Management website. Of those campuses, Tuesday’s temperatures are predicted to reach 9 degrees in Newark, 6 degrees

OSU canceled classes Monday and Tuesday because of extreme weather conditions. in Lima and Marion, 5 degrees in Wooster and 4 degrees in Mansfield. Most of those campuses face a 10 percent chance of snow, though Wooster has a predicted 20 percent chance of snow, as of Monday evening, according to The Weather Channel. Tuesday is the 10th time OSU has closed since 1978. OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said most recently, evening classes were canceled in February 2011 because of snow. The
most recent cancellation in January was January 2009, which was because of snow, Komlanc said. Some dining locations are expected to maintain limited service Tuesday, as they did Monday. Those locations included Sloopy’s Diner and Traditions dining locations, and some students living in residence halls headed to them Monday for food. Maggie Smith, a first-year in accounting, said the weather interfered, though.
Feed the meter: Ohio State paying $290K for traffic, parking study KRISTEN MITCHELL Editor-in-chief mitchell.935@osu.edu Ohio State is paying a private consulting firm $290,000 to assess university transportation needs and plan for the future. OSU has hired Massachusetts-based Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc., to carry out a study over the next several months, with the information gathering and planning phase kicking off in January and running through May. The study is expected to compile traffic data, such as what entry points students, staff and visitors are using to get to campus. VHB is set to evaluate the university’s short- and long-term goals to align with the One OSU Framework Plan, a initiative that identifies OSU’s lomg-term goals and how to achieve them. “Within the first couple of weeks in January, they’ll actually be facilitating input from the university community … we feel, and our consultant feels, it is important to get feedback from people using it everyday,” said Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc. The $290,000 is coming from “general funds,” Komlanc said. The move was approved by the Board of Trustees in November, and representatives from VHB did not return multiple requests for comment. During the purchasing process, 21 firms expressed interest in the project and received requests for proposals, and four firms responded
“The wind was whipping us in the face” while she and others were waiting outside at Sloopy’s to eat, she said. After making the walk from Baker Hall West to Sloopy’s with three friends, Joe Mulea, a first-year in business, said he was in pain. “It hurt physically to walk. My face was hurting. I felt my nose hairs freezing, it was so cold,” he said. Jason Crowe, the operations manager for Sloopy’s, said for the most part, though, students who went to the diner were in high spirits and were understanding about the wait time. He added that Sloopy’s was “super slammed” with a greater volume of customers than anticipated. Crowe said many employees who were not scheduled to work Monday came in anyway to “chip in and help out on their day off” because they thought the staff would need help. Student manager of North Commons, Craig Fink, a third-year in sports industry, said his staff also experienced hectic conditions in the North Campus dining locations. “Traditions dining is very busy, as students are just hanging around in dining areas,” Fink said. Steve Scudier, a third-year in international studies and manager-in-training at Morrill Traditions, was scheduled to work the closing shift Monday night at the dining hall. Scudier said Monday afternoon he was not looking forward to his usual 25-minute walk from his house. “I plan to wear two coats and a bunch of layers to get there,” Scudier said. Laughing, he added, “I am trying as hard as I can to convince my roommate to drive me.”

and were interviewed before VHB was selected. VHB has formed a team including three other entities: Trans Associates, MKSK and Kolar, but OSU is contracted with VHB specifically, Komlanc said in an email. While OSU retains the ownership of its parking assets, it agreed to a 50-year, $483 million lease to a private company in 2012. QIC Global Infrastructure, an Australian investment firm, placed the bid and created CampusParc to operate the parking facilities. The deal was finalized and approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2012. Komlanc called CampusParc a “major stakeholder” on campus transportation decisions. “Certainly parking is absolutely interrelated with transportation and traffic management. As those cars are coming to campus to park, we need to know what their needs are,” she said on the phone. With the parking lease, OSU still has control over the parking policies on campus, while CampusParc handles the day-to-day operations. President of CampusParc Sarah Blouch said the company will play a role in the university study. “Our role is to provide parking information and data to inform assumptions or answer questions and assist with the development of solutions,” Blouch said. “It is important to everyone (CampusParc and OSU) that the parking, transportation and roadways all work together as a system since it takes all three components to work.”

ALEXIS HILL Lantern reporter hill.1241@osu.edu While the proportion of female leadership at Ohio State has increased over the years, the university’s top ranks are still predominantly male with no consistent increase in gender equality across positions. Each year the Women’s Place, a women’s policy office that, according to its website, “serves as a catalyst for institutional change to expand opportunities for women’s growth, leadership and power,” releases a report on the status of women to show the progress in OSU’s gender equity. The 2013 report found that while women in faculty positions has increased since 1999, the percentage of women in other leadership position has decreased, but some OSU employees said the university is on the right track to becoming more equal overall. According to the 2013 study, “the proportion of women in all faculty ranks has increased continuously since 1999.” The study shows, however, that there is a low representation of women of color in faculty positions at OSU. There are also other positions, such as senior administrative leadership positions, at OSU where women are poorly represented, compared to senior professional staff positions. According to the report, these senior administrative leadership positions include president, Board of Trustees, vice presidents and senior vice presidents. Hazel Morrow-Jones, associate provost for Women’s Policy Initiatives and director of the Women’s Place, said one of the goals of the Women’s Place is to increase the representation of all women so the numbers will eventually reflect the larger society. The Women’s Place has other goals it’s hoping to achieve as well. “We want to increase diversity in order to increase our levels of innovation and to provide a diverse learning environment that will

EMILY HITCHCOCK Lantern reporter hitchcock.47@osu.edu The newest Ohio State Global Gateway office is poised to open in Brazil by early fall 2014 at a cost of about $250,000, pending the approval of the Board of Trustees in January. The office is set to be about 270 square feet, located in a district of São Paulo called Moema, said William Brustein, the OSU vice provost for global strategies and international affairs. The Global Gateway program aims to give OSU a presence in selected countries by providing students, alumni and faculty opportunities for networking, studying abroad and conducting research, according to its website. There are currently offices in Shanghai, China, and Mumbai, India. The annual cost of running the Brazil Gateway is an estimated $250,000, and the majority of funds will come from the university, Brustein said. The office space will be made available to OSU free of charge as a gift from a university alumnus in Brazil. “The principal expenses are paying the salary of the director and legal fees and fees for having a license to operate as a university in the country,” Brustein said. “A lot of the money has also gone to fund student and faculty travel and research in the Gateway countries by running grant competitions.” The Brazil Gateway aims to focus more on recruiting international undergraduate students than the Gateway offices in India and China do, Brustein said.

campus Ohio State student, professor discuss synthetic drug Molly’s highs, lows ABIGAIL HOFRICHTER For The Lantern hofrichter.3@osu.edu After weighing the highs and lows of an illegal drug, one Ohio State student decided it was worth the potential costs to get into a “party mood.” An OSU professor, though, said the biggest risk comes from users not knowing what’s specifically in any given pill. The New York City Electric Zoo Festival, an electronic dance music concert, was canceled before its final scheduled day, Sept. 1, after two concertgoers died from causes linked to MDMAusage. Molly is the crystal or powder form of MDMA, which is the chemical used in synthetic drug Ecstasy. A third-year female finance student at OSU, who requested anonymity because of the drug’s illegal nature, told The Lantern while she sometimes uses Molly at events such as concerts or parties, her main concern is knowing the product she is purchasing is safe to use. Rumors surfaced a few months back that people died at a concert near Columbus from using Molly and her dealer refused to sell it to her, she said, “just in case it may have been the same strand.” She added, though, that because she knows her dealer, she feels fine using the drug. “You just need to trust the people you get it from,” she said. The student said she uses Molly because it makes her feel excited and happy. “Everything is really soft and very bright,” she said. “You may combine it with other drugs or alcohol but it just gets you in a party mood.” Lane Wallace, professor and chair of the College of Pharmacy, said the chemical MDMA, short for methylenedioxymethamphetamine, is typically no

MDMA is the chemical used in synthetic drug Ecstacy. MDMA is sometimes used by electronic dance music concert-goers. more dangerous than many antidepressants or other controlled substances. “If you actually have the pure chemical and know how much you have and use the right amount, then I would say (MDMA) is relatively safe,” Wallace said. “The issue here is that our students don’t know what they are putting in their bodies, a certain drug that is reported to be a certain dose of one chemical (that) in reality may be 10 times that.” MDMA was made illegal in 1986 when it was classified as Schedule 1, a list of drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the U.S.
Wallace said the concern with Molly lies in the fact that the drug is not legal, so there is no way to regulate the purity of what is actually being sold. “You basically can’t know and have to go by experienced users who say, ‘Whoops, this batch doesn’t have the same effects as what I’m used to,’” Wallace said. During a one-year drug bust that ended in spring 2013, detectives from the Franklin Country Drug Task Force and University Police were sold a drug being called Molly that was later found to be bath salts, OSU Police Captain Eric Whiteside said in November.
Bath salts are a synthetic drug with effects including paranoia, hallucinations and violent behavior, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers. The OSU student, though, said typically she doesn’t get concerned about the potential negative effects. “I actually have a heart condition so I do think about the dangers a lot, but I’m never too worried about it,” the third-year student said. “If I ever feel myself getting too amped up, I’ll get a glass of water and take a break.” Wallace said as with any prescription drugs, taking MDMA in the wrong quantities or scenarios can lead to negative outcomes. “We do know that very high amounts of this can cause damage to certain kinds of neurons in the brains, so one has to be very careful with dose,” Wallace said. The OSU student said she isn’t sure whether the drug is becoming more prevalent but added that it seems to be. “I think it is becoming more popular but I know people who have been using it for years,” the female student said. “You don’t do Molly to just hang out at a house.” Whiteside said OSU Police are aware of a rise in popularity of synthetic drugs, but officers have not found the use of Molly to be an immediate concern on campus. Wallace said the drug’s seemingly recent fame is because of the increased popularity of electronic dance music, though he added MDMA usage could just be its own fad. “It’s a lot like fashion,” Wallace said. “The popularity of it goes in and out.”
Tree damage can lead to uprootings around campus MELISSA PRAX Lantern reporter prax.1@osu.edu The shade on Columbus’ campus has become a little more scarce after two trees were removed near the Ohio Union. Removal of trees prevents spread of disease and allows for campus improvement, said Lindsay Komlanc, OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman. “When we remove trees, it is primarily due to disease or insect damage, but at times also due to construction,” Komlanc said in an email. “Occasionally, we have lost trees due to car or truck damage.” When OSU takes on large, time-intensive construction projects, though, Komlanc said it’s possible to plan ahead so as not to harm the trees in the area. “(The South Oval) is a good example of where we were able to plan around our trees,” Komlanc said. “The wells were held away from the drip lines of the trees (edge of the tree’s canopy) … there should not be any negative effect on the trees.” The South Oval was closed in November 2010 because of the installation of geothermal wells that aim to improve the heating and cooling systems of South Campus residence halls. Though the initial targeted completion date was September 2012, problems with the drilling method in relation to the South Oval geologic condition delayed the project end date by more than a year. Chesapeake Geosystems, Inc., the company initially under contract for the renovation, was released from its obligations because of its ineffective methods, according to The Lantern archives. The project
originally cost $10.3 million and was expected to pay for itself in about 10 years, but the budget jumped to $12 million because of the delays and was completed by Bergerson-Caswell. Recently, though, two dead or declining trees near the Ohio Union and along the west side of Tuttle Park Place were removed and plans have not been announced to replace them, Komlanc said. Some students, however, said no matter what, replacing every tree is unrealistic. “It would be nice to remove a tree, plant a tree, but it isn’t feasible,” said Andrew Castonguay, a molecular genetics graduate student. “Removing a few trees out of how many on campus probably makes zero difference.” The cost to remove a tree on campus can vary. The cost of removing Ash trees can range from $375 to $2,150 depending on the age and size of the tree, according to a 2011 environmental benefits analysis of trees for Ohio State’s Columbus campus. The report was compiled by the Why Trees Matter Committee. In 2012, more than 900 trees were planted, Komlanc said. She said there are many benefits having a variety of trees on campus. “We want campus to be an aesthetically pleasing place that our students, faculty, staff and visitors enjoy,” Komlanc said. “We are also very committed to stainability efforts and reducing our carbon footprint.” Trees improve the air quality, assist with carbon sequestration, and reduce storm water run off, so overall, trees can save money for the university, according to the environmental benefits analysis.

Gateway from 1A
SHELBY LUM / Photo editor
In Columbus, temperatures rose to 31 Monday but fell to minus 6 in the evening, as winds stayed at about 20 mph.
Weather from 1A Komlanc said in an email Friday OSU uses “flexible” guidelines when deciding whether to close. “There is no set policy on what it takes to close the university. This allows for flexibility in decision making. Variables that are considered include whether roads, parking lots and sidewalks are clear, whether buildings are and can be kept warm, and whether the weather is dangerous,” Komlanc said. She said according to OSU policy, the president or “authorized designee” is expected to make the decision to cancel classes by 5 a.m. for day classes, and added
2A
that classes will typically resume the next day unless students, faculty and staff are otherwise notified. According to a notice from OSU spokesman Gary Lewis, essential employees might “be required to report to work and should check with their supervisor.” Monday’s campus closure was announced Sunday evening. An OSU athletics human resources director said in an email OSU had made the decision to close the main campus based on the severe temperatures and weather expected. The Lantern obtained a copy of the email, which was received by a student involved in the athletic department at
about 8:20 p.m. Roughly an hour later, OSU students and staff received an email from OSU Emergency Management with notice of the closure. When asked why those affiliated with the athletic department received a notification of the closure before the general student population, Lewis said in an email “the university provided a comprehensive message about main campus closings as soon as detailed information could be compiled and disseminated to all stakeholders” and provided no more information on the athletics email.
“Among the Big Ten schools, we’re probably near the bottom when it comes to students from Brazil earning degrees on our campus,” Brustein said. “We’re trying to get a more diverse international student portfolio and South America, and Brazil in particular, is an area where we can do much better and an area that will be a key priority at the Gateway.” According to the OSU statistical summary, there are more than 6,000 international students at the Columbus campus. The Gateway offices return OSU’s investment by giving the university the chance to receive grants it otherwise wouldn’t – like the Obama-Singh 21st Century Knowledge Initiative which aims to strengthen relationships between American and Indian higher education institutions and grants from the Center for American Culture in China – bringing attention to OSU for its Global Gateway program and providing students with more global internships and study abroad programs, Brustein said. The Global Gateway office in China has also recently made efforts to aid international recruitment. In June, the China Gateway office helped host pre-orientation programs to provide international students and their parents with personalized preparation before coming to OSU, said Maureen Miller, spokeswoman for the OSU Office of International Affairs. Ryunosuke Matsui, a fourth-year in fine art, said it would have been helpful to have had university offices in his home city of Tokyo when he was deciding where to go to college in the U.S. “If they can figure out how to make it easier for us international students to come here, then it will be beneficial for students and the university,” Matsui said. Dana Buzzelli, a fourth-year in natural resources management, looked into OSU’s Gateway program when deciding where to study abroad. Buzzelli said the connections that were established through the Global Gateway program seemed beneficial, but the study abroad programs appeared to lack the immersion of her previous experiences as an exchange student. “After doing some research, I decided I didn’t want to study through an Ohio State designed program because I wanted to have more freedom and explore the culture instead of just being in a classroom with other Ohio State students,” Buzzelli said. Brustein said Ethiopia, Turkey and Poland are possible future Gateway office sites, but added that for now, the primary focus is for OSU to carry out what it has promised to do at the existing three sites.

Transportation from 1A The study is intended to fit in with the framework plan principle “park once,” and the overall goal of making the Columbus campus more pedestrian friendly, Komlanc said. “In the framework plan it talks about … pedestrianizing the core of campus. What that would essentially mean is the university has a long-term goal of ‘park once’ … wherever it is you are parking on campus … you don’t feel like you have to get in your car to go from the north side of campus to the south side of campus,” she said. This could be achieved by implementing other forms of transportation on campus, Komlanc said. According to notes from the November Board of Trustees meeting, projects such as the Cannon Drive relocation, expansion projects in the Wexner Medical Center area and the North Residential District construction are expected to impact campus traffic patterns, and the university is attempting to “begin now to prepare strategies that address these changing needs.”
Faculty from 1A prepare students for the lives they will lead in the 21st century,” Morrow-Jones said. Debra Moddelmog, a professor of English and coordinator of the sexuality studies program at OSU, said more diversity can bring a variety of positive results. “A more diverse professoriate has many benefits, not the least of which is that it brings more diverse perspectives and new energy to the university. It also helps to attract a more diverse student body, which better represents, not only the current demographics of our country, but also our future demographics and creates a more exciting research and learning environment,” Moddelmog said. Morrow-Jones said the Women’s Place works with partners, such as the OSU Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the OSU Office of Research’s Gender Initiatives in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine), the OSU Office of Human Resources, the Columbus Partnership, which is an organization off of OSU campus that aims to improve the economy of the Columbus area, and the OSU Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.
Goals of this study include identifying priorities and estimating planning level costs. The Traffic Safety Task Force suggested a “comprehensive study” on campus transportation patterns in fall 2012 after incidents involving bicycles, cars and pedestrians left students with injuries.
Morrow-Jones said she hopes through all these efforts that diversity will increase. Steven Scheramic, a second-year in engineering, is pleased with the progress being made but said, however, there is still more for OSU to achieve. “I’m glad that the report shows there are some positions growing in representation of women and diversity. I feel that the more diverse OSU becomes, there will be more diverse opportunities for students as well,” Scheramic said. Scheramic added that he would expect the percentage of women in any department to be close to 50 percent. “OSU should strive to reach that goal,” Scheramic said. The numbers of women in some positions at OSU are rising, Morrow-Jones said. For example, in 2012, the faculty was 35 percent female, compared to 27 percent in 1999, according to the report. “It is particularly noteworthy that 45 percent of assistant professors were female in 2012, so we are getting close to parity in the younger faculty,” Morrow-Jones said. “The ranks of associate and full professors have also seen significant increases in the proportion of women, though they have not reached the level of the assistant professors yet.”

Miss America Nina Davuluri is set to make an appearance at OSU Jan. 27 in an event sponsored by OUAB.
Author, director, Miss America to make OSU appearances MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu Spring Semester has been delayed by two days, but the Ohio Union Activities Board has kept the ball rolling with its January events. First up is Piper Kerman, the author of “Orange is the New Black,” which is the inspiration behind the Netflix-exclusive prison drama of the same name. Kerman is scheduled to speak on campus at 7 p.m. Monday in the Ohio Union Performance Hall. In her book, Kerman documents her time in a women’s correctional facility in Danbury, Conn. for a charge involving drug trafficking. Mary Guido, special events chair for OUAB and a fourth-year in communication, said Kerman’s lecture at Ohio State should be informative as well as resonant. “We hope students walk away from the event understanding their actions
are powerful, and that for every action, there is a reaction,” Guido said in an email. “Kerman’s actions landed her in prison, but it also changed the course of her life and educated her about the largest prison system in the world.” Hannah Perrino, a third-year in architecture, is a fan of the show and is interested in learning about Kerman’s time in prison. “I would want to go,” Perrino said. “It would be really cool to hear her experience (in prison) and compare the show to what her actual experience was.” OUAB’s Spring Semester schedule continues with director and producer Lee Daniels’ arrival on campus. Known for directing “Precious” and “The Butler,” Daniels will be conducting a lecture and Q-and-A session for students Jan. 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ohio Union’s Archie M. Griffin East Ballroom. “I hope the event opens students up to a dialogue about different perspectives on life. Daniels creates work that comes from a place of truth, and that will show through with this lecture,” said Nora Gerber, OUAB visual and fine arts chair and fourth-year in public affairs and Spanish, in an email.
“Students will be able to connect and learn how Daniels’ accomplishments, obstacles and hardships have shaped his experience and his identity.” In a collaborative event between OUAB and the Asian American Association, Miss America 2014 and first Indian-American winner Nina Davuluri is scheduled to speak and answer questions Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Ohio Union Performance Hall. After being recognized for breaking cultural barriers by winning the Miss America competition, Davuluri has advocated for the discussion of diversity issues in her social media campaign #CirclesofUnity. She is expected to discuss such topics during her lecture. “America witnessed a slew of racist tweets in the aftermath of her coronation and Nina’s platform seems especially relevant because of that,” said Divya Raj, co-president of the Asian American Association and a thirdyear in public affairs in an email. “By bringing Nina to Ohio State, we hope to create a discussion and inspire conversation not only around her platform but also around AAPIs (Asian American and Pacific Islanders) in general and the challenges and stereotypes many of us face.”
Queen musical ‘We Will Rock You’ to reign over C-Bus Danielle Seamon Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu

Erica Peck as Oz and Brian Justin Crum as Galileo in ‘We Will Rock You.’ The musical is set to run at Palace Theatre from Jan. 7-12.
Rock royalty is about to be revived in Columbus. The multi-award-winning musical “We Will Rock You” is scheduled to make its grand entrance Tuesday at the Palace Theatre, toting along the hits of rock band Queen during the show’s six-day reign. The musical, which is making its Columbus debut, imagines a futuristic world where creativity is outlawed and individuals are labelled by ID and number. A group of rebel Bohemians hope to break the conformity by seeking a hero who will ultimately assist them in bringing the power of rock back to the world. Although Queen saw its heydays in the ‘70s and ‘80s, the power of the band’s music is preserved in the show with the help of Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor as musical supervisors for the show. The spirit of former frontman, the late Freddie Mercury, is also maintained, said Jennifer Noble, a member of the ensemble in the Columbus production of “We Will Rock You.” “We just keep (Mercury’s) spirit alive by the songs, the rebel, move-at-the-beat-of-your-own-drum kind of show,”
Noble said. “His mom actually came to see the show in London. She said he was a big comedy fan and he would have loved the show.” References to Queen’s music are not isolated to the songs performed, though. The show’s characters take their names straight from the lyrics. For example, Noble also plays understudy to the character of Scaramouche, borrowed directly from the operatic chorus of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Her role in the Columbus production, on the other hand, is as a rebel Bohemian named Mick Jagger, a nod to the lead singer in The Rolling Stones. “One thing I love about the show is we get to update it,” Noble said. “The show’s been running for 12 years, so the writers and Brian and Roger have been great about updating it for the time and for the area in which the show is being performed. So we do have a lot of references to pop culture and, you know, rock ‘n’ roll.” The musical’s score, however, not only nods to Queen’s discography in its prime, including “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Under Pressure” and “Killer Queen,” but also features some music the remaining three members wrote following Mercury’s death in 1991, Noble said.

Temperatures drop Jan. 6 forcing all of OSU’s campuses to close. commentary
6 people you will undoubtedly encounter when weather drops, snow begins to fall Michele Theodore and Danielle Seamon Copy chief and Arts editor theodore.13@osu.edu and seamon.17@osu.edu The weather. It’s been happening since the dawn of time, but somehow, we still find it ridiculously fascinating. Water’s changing states of matter. It’s been happening since dinosaurs roamed, but somehow, it still amuses the population. Put those two concepts together with freezing temperatures, and people go bananas for snow. Here’s a few people you will meet the next time cold, white things fall from the sky. Person Who’s Overly Enthusiastic Person Who’s Overly Enthusiastic has been waiting for this snowstorm all year. Forget sitting inside with a nice book and a steaming mug of hot chocolate, it’s time for this person to revel in the phenomenon of nature. Person Who’s Overly Enthusiastic built a whole family of snowmen and snowwomen complete with hats, scarves, gloves, cute button eyes, backstories and personalities. Add that to their snow fort where they’ve been stockpiling snowballs, and you’re bound to be assaulted with more snow fun than you thought imaginable. This person also thinks the yellow snow joke is still really funny. They’ve been searching all around for a patch of yellow snow to point out to you so you can both laugh about it for hours.

Person From A Warmer Climate Person From A Warmer Climate started wearing a full body parka in October and things have escalated quickly since then. She was really excited the first time it snowed, talking endlessly about how great new seasons are and taking lots of pictures with the tiny snowman she built, but now she’s over it. You’ve heard a thousand times that she’s used to temperatures in at least the 60s throughout December and keep getting angsty Snapchats from her wearing every sweater she owns at once. Person From A Warmer Climate also recently bought every North Face item she could find, including boots and gloves intended for explorers in the Arctic Circle. You have to feel some pity for this girl, but you also can’t handle the idea of her weather conversations lasting through the end of February. Make a mental note to remind her about this when she complains about the heat next summer. Person From A Colder Climate Almost worse than Person From A Warmer Climate is that guy you know from Colorado. He’s covered his room with pictures of slopes and often whines that there aren’t any good ski resorts close enough. Every time a snowflake falls, Person From A Colder Climate insists on telling you about the time it snowed for six days straight and the snow drifts were taller than his house, but he still had to go to school and walk uphill both ways with holes in his socks. The similarities between his fabulous stories and old people’s tales of “back in their day” are chilling.
It doesn’t matter how cold it gets or how far the windchill drops, Person From A Colder Climate will be able to top it. He doesn’t want anyone in the state to live with delusions that they live in a winter climate because this is his paradise and he can effectively make you feel guilty for being cold. Girl Posting Endlessly On Social Media Girl Posting Endlessly On Social Media definitely checked the weather forecast and she wants all of her family, friends, followers, neighbors, people she sat beside once in class and frenemies to know exactly what’s happening in the upcoming days. She feels it’s her job to personally inform everyone about the climate, no matter how misinformed she is. She hardly understands all the weather terminology but she’s already taken 10 screenshots of the weather app on her phone and posted them for everyone to see. She also felt it was her personal responsibility to petition her school to cancel classes because the administrators always check her status updates before making final decisions. Tie all this in with her seemingly endless statuses about how she can’t handle the cold or her misunderstandings about global warming, and removing Girl Posting Endlessly On Social Media will seem more confused than Person From A Warmer Climate.

[ a +e ] Queen from 4A “Most of the lyrics are still intact. We kind of adjust it to our show, but we do sing ‘No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young),’ which was written by Brian May after Freddie’s death,” Noble said. “These are songs some people might not recognize at first being a Queen hit … but it’s one of the most beautiful numbers in the show.” Noble also said the theatrics of Queen’s songs make the transition from rock n’ roll to stage easy, and it is the production of its music she believes the musical celebrates. “There’s this thing floating around the Internet, it was of couple of months ago, but it was saying it took one person to write ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ but it took seven or eight to write a Justin Bieber song. I think that’s what we are kind of getting at. (Queen’s music is) kind of this lost art of creativity and originality,” Noble said. Chris Radebaugh, a second-year in computer and information science, agreed. “I think a musical would be a
good outlet for Queen because the vocals and arrangements are so over-the-top, and dividing it up between various singers and making it even more theatrical would make it just fine,” Radebaugh said. Dara Katzner, a third-year in early childhood education, said she would go see the musical. “I definitely would (go see it) because Queen was one of my dad’s favorite bands, so I grew up listening to them. And I love musicals,” Katzner said. “We Will Rock You” opens Tuesday and runs through Sunday. The Palace Theatre is located at 34 W. Broad St. Tickets start at $28 and can be purchased through the CAPA Ticket Center at 39 E. State St. and Ticketmaster.

People from 4A Guy In Denial There have been warnings everywhere you look about the potential of frostbite, but Guy In Denial must have missed them because he’s still wearing shorts. He probably doesn’t own a winter coat and thinks being cold is all mental. This guy believes if he tries hard enough and focuses on warmer weather, he can block the frigid temperatures out of his mind. He keeps trying to initiate sand volleyball games with you and tries to convince you playing in the snow is just like standing in sand. Enjoy his happy demeanor now because this guy never shivers and will sweat all summer.
If Person Who Can’t Drive does decide to venture outside, be wary of driving. They’ll skid all over the road and blare their horn through every stop sign because they probably won’t be able to stop their car. Driving in the snow for them is like cliff diving for most people, a seemingly dangerous feat only to be attempted by professionals. They have an affinity for finding every patch of ice on the road and would be more efficient ice skating to their destination, but they’re bound to find some reason to take their car out. Probably to get more salt for the sidewalk. Stay warm, Ohio State.
Person Who Can’t Drive Person Who Can’t Drive starts panicking at the site of three snowflakes. They definitely won’t be leaving the house anytime soon and have already been to the grocery store to gather everything they’ll need for the upcoming apocalypse.

Young players keep future bright for OSU daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu It is tough going for fans of the Ohio State football program at the moment. Back-to-back losses in the biggest games since Urban Meyer took over as head coach, and the departure of a myriad of big name players from the squad that won 24 straight games may have the Buckeye faithful worried. But something that might have slipped past Buckeye Nation’s eyes during the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl loss to Clemson, as well as throughout the 2013 season, was the impact of younger players. These players hope to use this season as a springboard for years to come. Young players like sophomore defensive end Noah Spence, freshman defensive end Joey Bosa and freshman running back Dontre Wilson made headlines all season long for OSU. The future of the Buckeye secondary, which is set to lose four players heading into next year, was on display in the Orange Bowl. Freshman defensive back Vonn Bell made his first career start, and was joined by redshirtfreshman defensive back Tyvis Powell who started at corner. “(It was my) first start, you know,” Bell said after the game. “I’ve been preparing for this moment ever since the season started. So it’s not our turn, but we’ll keep it rolling in spring.” Bell’s moment in the sun came on an athletic interception of Clemson redshirt-senior Tajh Boyd in the red zone in the third quarter. “We ran a little zone play and I read the eyes of Tajh (Boyd) and he threw it up,” Bell said. “I just wanted to make a play.” Sophomore cornerback Armani Reeves also started this season, although he hasn’t since Sept. 7 against San Diego State, and will hope to join Bell and Powell in the secondary in the future. Junior cornerback Doran Grant, who started every game this season, said he is confident in the defense’s future. “We have a lot to build on, we have some

OSU lost, 40-35. guys who can play,” Grant said. “I’m excited to see them play next season, see what they got in the spring. We’re going to work at it.” On the other side of the ball, Wilson was the big focus for OSU, with his speed inserting him into the offense instantly, but he wasn’t the only one who earned himself a potential spot for the future. Redshirt-freshman right guard Pat Elflein played the majority of OSU’s 42-41 victory against Michigan Nov. 30 and played the entirety of the Big Ten Championship loss against Michigan State Dec. 7 in place of redshirt-senior Marcus Hall. During the Michigan game, Elflein grew as a
player, redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort said after the win. “Pat did a tremendous job … he’s not a kid anymore after playing in an environment like that. You kind of grow up a little bit and I think that was a really good learning experience for him,” Mewhort said. Although the Buckeye offensive line is losing four of its five starters, Elflein isn’t the only player set to join the starting ranks that has experience. Sophomore left guard Taylor Decker started every game this year for OSU and sophomore center Jacoby Boren played significant minutes in place

Buckeyes set for top-5 matchup with Spartans Eric Seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu It is hard to argue against the idea of the Big Ten being the best conference for men’s basketball in recent years. For two consecutive seasons, the Big Ten has either finished with the most or tied for the most teams in the USA Today top 25. This past season includes five teams representing the conference by the end of the year and three teams finishing in the top seven in the country. Even though the conference’s last championship was in 2000, the continued success is hard to ignore. Two Big Ten stalwarts, Ohio State and Michigan State, the team which in fact won that national title in 2000, are near the top of the polls again this season, and are set to meet again Tuesday in East Lansing, Mich., for an early conference tilt worthy of attention. No. 3 OSU (15-0, 2-0) is fresh off an 84-53 drubbing of Nebraska Saturday, a game in which the Buckeyes held only a 10 point advantage at halftime before pulling away late. OSU also took care of business New Year’s Eve at Purdue, winning 78-69. “Most importantly, we took care of what we needed to do,” OSU coach Thad Matta said after the Nebraska win, referring to his team’s first two conference games. The Buckeyes forced 13 turnovers against Nebraska, something Cornhusker coach Tim Miles said should help them against the Spartans. “If they can turn Michigan State over like they turned us over, I think that’s going to cause problems for any team,” Miles said after the game Saturday.

Freshman forward Marc Loving (2) attempts to dunk the ball during a game against Nebraska Jan. 4 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 84-53. The No. 5 Spartans (13-1, 2-0) lead the nation with 18.9 assists per game, and at the helm is sophomore guard Gary Harris, who is averaging 18.2 points per game. Harris is one of three Spartans who averages at least 15 points per game. “Our guys have a great appreciation for how good Michigan State is,” Matta said.
Michigan State rose to No. 1 in the nation after beating then-No. 1 Kentucky 78-74 Nov. 12. Tuesday’s game is the first home conference game for the Spartans, who beat both Penn State and Indiana in their first two conference games. OSU is likely to experience a crazy environment at the Breslin Center, where the Spartans and coach Tom Izzo have only lost a total of three games since the start of the 2011-12 season. The Buckeyes were one of those losses, taking down the Spartans, 72-70, March 4, 2012. “Collectively, we have a very good mindset going into this next game,” OSU freshman forward Marc Loving said after the Nebraska victory. “Michigan State is a very, very tough team and we have to bring our ‘A’ game.” Matta said Dec. 30 each Big Ten game this season is “going to be a war,” calling winning a conference championship “the hardest thing to do in college basketball.” “The familiarity of tendencies of teams, of players, all those things come out. You see your opponents so much more now because as you’re watching to get ready for one team you’re thinking, ‘OK, well we’re going to play those guys down the road here.’ And you kinda got an eye on them as well. I think that’s what the difference is. Each game has a huge stake,” Matta said. “Where non-conference, you lose a game and it’s not the end of the world, but at the same token we’re not going to deviate — we’re just going to keep getting better.” Tipoff between the Buckeyes and Spartans is set for 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby walks out of the tunnel in sweatpants before the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl Jan. 3 at Sun Life Stadium. OSU lost, 40-35.
6A
When it comes to sports, anyone who watches and cheers for a particular player or team has the opportunity to formulate their own opinions. Some teams and players get more attention than others, and when it came to the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes, it is difficult to find a player more widely criticized or loved than redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby. Upon taking the field on Senior Day Nov. 23 before the Buckeyes took on Indiana, Roby was subjected to a loud mix of both cheers and boos from Buckeye Nation. Just three days before, OSU coach Urban Meyer confirmed that Roby, a projected first-round pick by CBSSports, would forego his final year of eligibility. This seemed to only be the beginning of what has become an enthralling saga of OSU’s star cornerback. After suffering a knee injury late in his team’s 34-24 loss in Big Ten Championship Game against Michigan State Dec. 7, the All-American’s status was unclear for the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl against Clemson.
Roby ultimately did not suit up against the Tigers because of the injury, resulting in backlash from OSU fans on social media. Fans berated Roby before, during and after the Orange Bowl on Twitter, and the name-calling has continued, to some fans still calling him a p---- and saying he quit on his team as recent as Monday. Roby offered a stern response early Saturday morning on Twitter. “The fact that people tweeting at me sayin all this negativity is crazy to me,” the tweet, published after 1 a.m., read. “It makes me ashamed to even have played for y’all.” Not everything was negative, though, as Roby sent another tweet just two minutes later thanking members of the OSU fan base for their support. “To the true fans I truly appreciate it the support you have given me and this team over the years,” the tweet read. The disrespect toward Roby was so bad that ESPN college football analyst and former Buckeye quarterback Kirk Herbstreit offered his support. “Hey man. I’m sorry you or any player has to be subjected to ridiculous fans like that. Keep ur head

sports Smith Jr.’s contributions deserve more recognition Asst. sports editor
Daniel rogers rogers.746@osu.edu
Aaron Craft. LaQuinton Ross. Amir Williams. These are the names that come to mind first when most people think about the No. 3-ranked Ohio State men’s basketball team (15-0, 2-0). Someone that doesn’t often make the headlines is
senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. Smith Jr., the team’s lone senior aside from Craft, has been huge for the Buckeyes all season. Currently second on the team in scoring with an average 12.7 points per game, and third on the team in both rebounding and assists with 4.9 and 1.6 respectively, Smith Jr. should be one of the stars of the team. And yet he is less talked about then certain bench players like athletic junior forward Sam Thompson and sophomore guard Amedeo Della Valle. The respect that Smith Jr. garners is not befitting of someone as vital as he is to the Buckeyes’ chances to success. He has scored in double figures in 11 of OSU’s 15 games this year, including a season high 20 in a 65-50 win against Wyoming Nov. 25.
Future from 6A of an injured senior Corey Linsley in the season opener. After the game against Iowa, Oct. 19, co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Ed Warinner said Decker was continuing to advance in the system. “He has a great talent … he’s playing solid football for us and continues to get better with a big upside,” Warinner said. The Buckeyes will also have to replace one of the more productive running backs in recent memory at OSU — senior Carlos Hyde. This season Hyde ran for a team high 1,521 yards and 15 touchdowns. Hyde led the OSU running backs in yards in every game following his return from a three game suspension to start the season with the exception of one.
But perhaps Smith Jr.’s best performance of the season came when he was at his worst. Against Notre Dame Dec. 21, the Buckeyes were in danger of losing for the first time this season. Trailing by eight points with less than a minute remaining, OSU needed something to change to keep their unbeaten run alive. That change came in the form of Smith Jr. Failing to score up to that point in the game, Smith Jr. was struggling to make an impact. But in the final 50 seconds, he scored nine points and helped the Buckeyes go on a 14-3 run to win the game. Even though the final box score reads only nine points, Smith Jr.’s contribution was the difference in the final stretch. Players like Craft and Ross deserve their recognition, both are fantastic players, but the shadow they cast should not completely hide the work Smith Jr. has been doing for OSU. He is third on the team in minutes, just behind Craft and junior guard Shannon Scott, with an average of 27 a game. He is also third on the team in field goal percentage, behind only the teams two centers, and second in 3-point percentage. Although the season is not yet half over, the Buckeyes will need Smith Jr. to continue his stellar play if they hope to make another deep run in the NCAA tournament. Maybe then the senior guard not named Craft will be recognized by Buckeye fans for everything he has done.
During a 76-0 win against Florida A&M Sept. 21, Hyde only tallied 41 yards on the ground, while freshman running back Ezekiel Elliott ran for 162 yards and two touchdowns. After the game, Meyer said Elliott will have “an incredible future here.” Senior wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown said he can’t wait to watch these players in the future. “I can see a lot of these young dudes growing in front of our eyes,” Brown said after the Orange Bowl. “Like I said, I’m so excited to see what these dudes turn into.” It is a saying around the college football world that certain programs don’t rebuild, they reload. Although no one is sure what these players will become, the foundation set for them in the 2013 season was strong. OSU’s next generation is set to take its next shots at stardom Aug. 30 in Baltimore against Navy.

Senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. (32) drives to the basket during a game against Delaware Dec. 18 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 76-64.
Roby from 6A up & stay positive,” Herbstreit’s tweet sent to Roby’s personal account, @BradRoby_1, read. No one will ever know if Roby’s presence on the field against the Tigers during the Orange Bowl would have given OSU what it needed to win the game. But his replacement, sophomore cornerback Armani Reeves, was beaten by Clemson junior wide receiver Martavis Bryant for two touchdowns in the game. Regardless of what everyone was saying about him playing or not, Roby responded with yet another tweet later Saturday, giving thanks to those fans who supported him. “S/O to the REAL Buckeyenation for showing so much love,” the tweet read. “We truly have the best fans in the land! And I enjoyed playing for you.” Whether Roby will have a successful NFL career remains to be seen, but as he and OSU’s season
came to a close early Saturday morning, he surely left his mark.
