OSU uses Huntington scholarship money to fund signage LIZ YOUNG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu When Huntington Bank gave Ohio State an additional $1 million for the first anniversary of their partnership, it was intended to be used for academic programming and scholarships. Of that money, though, OSU used $75,000 to pay for signs it had agreed to install a year earlier.

OSU signed its 15-year contract with Columbus-based Huntington Feb. 12, 2012. Huntington paid an initial $25 million to OSU — to go toward “scholarships, education and alumni giving,” according to its website — and promised to supply an additional $100 million for OSU to work on improving the university district area. Of that, the bank agreed to make $75 million available in loans and to invest $25 million for OSU’s work on revitalizing the university area.

In February, marking the end of the partnership’s first year, the bank gave an additional $1 million to OSU for “academic programming and scholarships,” OSU assistant vice president of media and public relations Gayle Saunders said in an email Dec. 7.

David Schamer, director of not-for-profit banking at Huntington, said the additional money was provided “based on the success of our first year of the partnership,” in a statement emailed to The Lantern Dec. 6 from Maureen Brown, the senior vice president and director of public relations for Huntington.

The entirety of that additional money, though, didn’t go straight into scholarships or programming.

Based on the 2012 contract, OSU agreed to install a “‘way-finding/ directory’ signage” system around each OSU campus to “assist visitors in locating the individual branch locations.” OSU installed 17 exterior signs for pedestrians, as well as about 50 other signs of varying size and prominence, on its Columbus campus, Saunders said.

Those signs cost $96,000, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said in an email Dec. 18. Of that, $75,000 was paid out of the $1 million Huntington gave OSU in February, while the remaining $21,000 was paid for “from a university departmental reserve fund in Administration and Planning” funded from the Wexner Medical Center, Lewis said.

He added that no tuition or taxpayer dollars were used in paying for the signs.

Lewis provided an additional statement reiterating information about

ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu Nothing comes easy in Big Ten basketball.

Despite coming back from a 55-38 deficit with just more than seven minutes to play to tie the game and send it to overtime against No. 5 Michigan State, the Buckeyes were not able to finish the job, falling, 72-68, for their first lost of the season.

MSU led for the majority of the 40 minutes of regulation, taking a 28-21 lead into halftime after a 7-0 run during the final three and a half minutes of the first half.

No. 3 Ohio State (15-1, 2-1), led by senior guard Aaron Craft and junior forward Sam Thompson, would not go down without a fight though, as a pair of dunks

by Thompson with less three minutes to play in regulation cut the lead to six. Craft then completed a three-point play, and after an offensive foul call on Spartans senior guard Keith Appling, insanity ensued.

Two misses by Craft led to a loose ball that appeared to be going MSU’s way until the do-everything guard dove and snatched it, calling a timeout to save possession.

Craft then threw the ball off MSU senior center Adreian Payne’s back on the ensuing inbounds play, making a layup to cut the lead to 57-56.

Payne made one of two free throws on the other end, and OSU junior center Amir Williams dunked the ball home to tie the game with just 21 seconds remaining.

Junior guard Shannon Scott stole the ball from Appling, but missed a potential game winning layup as time expired in regulation.

OSU trips against Michigan State, 72-68

OSU adding gender-neutral bathrooms as dorm option Students dwelling in Ohio State residence halls will soon be able to request to live on a floor with only gender-neutral bathrooms.

Park-Stradley Hall is slated to have two floors solely equipped with genderneutral bathrooms next year depending on demand, Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said Thursday.

Gender-neutral bathrooms have a common sink area with multiple separate rooms off of that area that each hold a toilet and a shower.

Students will be able to request to live on those Park-Stradley floors in their housing contracts, Isaacs said. He said if demand is great, the administration might consider adding a third floor, but if demand is less than expected, OSU might eliminate a floor from the plans.

“It’s not a remodel at Park-Stradley, just a redesignation, so (there’s) no cost,” Isaacs said in an email.

Park-Stradley currently has two genderneutral bathrooms on every floor. It is one of three residence halls to include genderneutral bathrooms.

Smith-Steeb has two on every floor, and Scholars West has three gender-neutral bathrooms in each wing.

Demand for these facilities has not been huge thus far, but Student Life aims to accommodate all students and their needs, Isaacs said on the phone.

Gender-neutral bathrooms are also located throughout campus in various buildings, but one OSU official said it’s hard to say how many there are.

“We don’t specifically track genderneutral restrooms in Facilities Operations and Development or Physical Planning and Real Estate, so it’s a little hard to pinpoint a date when they began being installed and (we) don’t have a complete list of buildings that have gender-neutral restrooms,” OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said in an email.

She emailed The Lantern a list of 16 buildings that have gender-neutral bathrooms that was based on recent projects and everyday maintenance work.

The list included the Ohio Union, RPAC, Adventure Recreation Center and McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

Sidney Wilson, a third-year in women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said OSU’s campus currently does not have enough gender-neutral bathrooms.

“To have a few gender neutral bathrooms, far apart, is not fully inclusive

A gender-neutral bathroom in Smith-Steeb Hall. OSU students dwelling in residence halls will soon be able to request to live on a floor with only gender-neutral bathrooms. because in every building there are a lot of binary (male or female) bathrooms,” she said.

Komlanc said students, staff and faculty should expect to see more gender-neutral bathrooms in years to come.

“Our building design standards require that we add at least one gender-neutral restroom in all new buildings and, when feasible, when existing buildings are renovated,” Komlanc said.

These guidelines are present to hold Ohio State’s commitment “to providing a physical environment where students, faculty, staff, and visitors can live, learn, teach, research and be successful in their daily business,” Komlanc said.

The costs for installing these restrooms vary from project to project, she said.

“In general, gender-neutral restrooms can cost more per fixture as they are usually limited to one of each fixture type — like sinks, toilets, etc., whereas other restrooms we may be able to take advantage of cost reductions for buying multiple types of each fixture,” Komlanc said.

Funding sources also vary, and sometimes multiple funding sources are used on one project. Whatever the case, “no project moves forward to construction

without first having a funding source identified and approved through the approval process,” Komlanc said.

Last Spring Semester, the doors to the bathrooms’ common sink area were removed in Park-Stradley because of feedback from residents who said they would “feel more secure if there was no divider between the hallways and that area,” Isaacs told The Lantern in an email at the time.

Multiple sex crimes were reported in Park-Stradley during Fall Semester 2012, one of which was a reported rape that allegedly occurred in a Park-Stradley bathroom, and at the time, some students speculated the doors’ removal was linked to the sex crimes.

Isaacs, however, said there was no direct link between the two.

Ellen Zwick, a third-year in molecular genetics, said she likes the idea of genderneutral bathrooms.

“I was pleasantly surprised to see genderneutral bathrooms in the Union even. It’s a great step in the right direction, I think, but there is more work that needs to be done,” Zwick said in an email.

Wilson said gender-neutral bathrooms are important to have in all public spaces.

It was a relief to get my letter, and not have to worry about going to college at a certain place or having to make decisions at the end of the school year.

Ohio State has received more undergraduate applications earlier this year because of a new early action deadline.

The new deadline, Nov. 1, allowed students to receive a nonbinding decision that does not require them to enroll at OSU by mid-December. Previously, that early action deadline was Dec. 1.

Natalie Brooks Applicants submitting by the Senior at London High School deadline also were able to have in London, Ohio priority consideration for merit scholarships and OSU’s Honors and Scholars programs, which some OSU officials said made students want to apply sooner.

“Because there was an earlier deadline tied not only to admission decisions, but also priority consideration for honors, scholars and merit scholarships, it created an incentive for them to apply early,” said Vern Granger, OSU vice president of enrollment services and director of admissions.

About 35,000 applications for Fall 2014 have been received as of Tuesday, Granger said.

“This year we have a goal of about 38,000 applications, so we’re definitely on pace to reach the goal that we had,” Granger said.

The new early action deadline was announced at the beginning of Autumn Semester in a newsletter from OSU Undergraduate Admissions.

The regular deadline for applications is still Feb. 1.

A Nov. 1 early action deadline is already in place at some universities, such as Case Western Reserve University and University of Michigan.

Last year, OSU received a record-high 35,475 application by the regular deadline and admitted more than 17,000, about 7,000 of whom enrolled. This year, OSU plans to enroll about the same number, 7,000 to 7,100, Granger said.

OSU’s freshmen classes have also been setting records every year since 2005 for their academic strength, with this year’s current freshman class having an average 28.5 composite ACT score and average SAT score of 1,256. Fifty-eight percent of applicants were also in the top 10 percent of their class.

Granger said since OSU just began admitting students in mid-December, it’s hard to make a judgment yet on the quality on this year’s class.

“In general terms, I’m very optimistic with how the applicant pool is looking,” Granger said.

Natalie Brooks, a senior from London High School in London, Ohio, said she took advantage of the new early action deadline.

“My acceptance came two weeks ago. It was a relief to get my letter, and not worry about going to college at a certain place or having to make decisions at the end of the school year,” Brooks said.

This year is OSU’s second using the Common Application, an online college application that services more than 500 schools and enables students to apply to multiple schools with one form.

In the Autumn 2013 newsletter from Undergraduate Admissions, Granger said there was a nearly 25 percent increase in applications

campus Online class emphasizes ‘enthusiasm’ for math for students worldwide FRANCIS PELLICCIARO Lantern reporter pellicciaro.1@osu.edu Students in one Ohio State calculus class don’t have to sit in a lecture hall or pay tuition to learn.

Calculus One — a MOOC, or massive open online course, created by OSU professors — is offered through Coursera, a website offering classes online to students worldwide at no cost.

OSU is one of about 100 universities offering courses through Coursera, but the university is not making a profit from its relationship with Coursera.

Two OSU mathematics professors, Jim Fowler and Bart Snapp, created the Calculus One course.

Fowler said he was drawn to Coursera partly because of its partnership with OSU. A total of nine OSU courses are offered through Coursera, including Latin American Migration, Technology and Ethics, Human Trafficking and Introduction to Pharmacy.

Students, however, currently don’t receive any college credit for taking the class. They only receive a certificate.

Fowler said individual ambition to learn or lack thereof is often apparent in the class, something he thinks math instructors could help students with.

“The problem with math education is not just context education, it’s enthusiasm,” Fowler said.

The class, though, is made up of students worldwide, some of whom said their enthusiasm for calculus was what made them enroll.

“Math is nothing once you can understand it,” Shaheer Niazi said in a phone interview. He and his sister Khadija Niazi, 13-year-old students in Pakistan, found the course after a physics instructor told them they would need higher math to solve problems involving large celestial bodies.

Khadija Niazi said Fowler and Snapp were good teachers who communicated well with their class by responding to emails and answering questions.

Fowler said he thinks MOOCs will eventually be offered for credit similarly to how other online courses are offered for credit.

Coursera currently has a Signature Track service through which some of its university partners offer courses for official university

Bart Snapp, an OSU mathematics professor, helped create a Calculus One class offered through Coursera that has drawn students from around the world. recognition for a “small fee,” according to a Coursera release.

University of Michigan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Duke University are among the schools offering at least one Signature Track course, according to a listing of courses on Coursera’s website. Prices for available Signature Track courses on Coursera’s website range from $30 to $90, according to the Coursera website.

Wayne Carlson, OSU’s vice provost for undergraduate studies and dean of undergraduate education, told The Lantern in September there was a possibility of money becoming involved down the line.

“Now down the road, there may be a business

plan, a revenue stream that evolves and then at that particular point, we can enter into discussions with Coursera and the partners about how that revenue is shared. There is no such revenue right now,” Carlson said.

Some other OSU professors said the online class offers advantages aside from credit.

Roman Holowinsky, an OSU associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, said MOOC calculus courses give students the individual feedback lost in a lecture where of 120 students, only 10 might come to office hours. He said, though, while the immediate feedback of calculus MOOCs is great, learning is still up to the individual.

“The Internet is a natural resource for

educational material, but I don’t know what the end result would be — even watching videos on a cassette was a revolutionary thing,” Holowinsky said.

Snapp and Fowler emphasize student interaction with the material in the Calculus One class.

Students who find mistakes in the online textbook used for the calculus course can submit edits, and if an edit is approved by Snapp or Fowler, it is applied to all of their other online textbooks.

“I want the student to take the material and make it their own,” Snapp said.

The course also tracks how long each student takes on individual problems and in browsing sections of the textbook, compiling data related to each student and the class as a whole.

Snapp said he and Fowler are working on understanding the learning strategies of students in an online situation and attempting to make their education better based on that data.

Jamie Walla, a high school calculus teacher in California, enrolled in the course as a refresher.

“I think the MOOC is a starting point for continuing education and global education because there are ways in which the live classroom cannot be replaced but there are advantages to online access that are so formidable that they really should be explored and refined,” Walla said.

Walla said she wants to be a resource for her students, so she took the class to review material she hadn’t used in years. “(MOOC calculus) gave me insight into how technology will level the playing field for all of us,” Walla said.

Walla is an Ohio native whose two sons attend OSU. Fowler said Coursera is ideal for people who want to learn throughout their lives, as many of his students already have degrees.

Representatives for the OSU Office of Distance Education & eLearning said the department views the course as an opportunity.

“We don’t see that we are losing potential degreeseeking students to MOOCs but rather that we are engaging and inspiring individuals who would otherwise not have become part of the OSU family,” said Office of the Chief Information Officer communication director Katharine Keune in an email.

Coursera representatives did not respond to an email requesting comment.

All Ohio State campuses were closed for the second consecutive day Tuesday.

Temperatures fell as low as 7 Tuesday with winds blowing at about 10 mph, according to The Weather Channel.

Temperatures hit a record low Monday in Columbus at minus 8 with a high of 34 while wind gusts reached 38 mph, according to The Weather Channel.

Tuesday was 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 in 2009, which was because of snow, Komlanc said.

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.

“By not having gender-neutral bathrooms available, it discriminates against people who don’t choose to be in the typical gender binary,” Wilson said.

“Also, the fear of going to the restroom should not be anything anyone ever has to go through.”

Ali Paracha, a third-year in political science, said there are both positives and negatives to men and women sharing a bathroom area.

“I think gender neutral bathrooms are completely an individual’s choice. Some people are comfortable and some prople are not. I personally prefer gender neutral bathrooms, mainly because it doesnt really bother me,” Paracha said.

Paracha said having women around might make men cut down on pranks and crude humor in the bathroom, but he could also see the situation going the other way.

“Maybe if girls are around guys might behave a little. However, some … might be even more offensive around girls,” he

Applications from 1A from 2012 to 2013, which he attributed in part to the transition to the Common App. Granger told The Lantern he is seeing similar trends to those he saw in the first year, including having more students apply from out of state.

Some current OSU students said OSU using the Common App has various pros and cons.

“On one hand, it allows for a greater pool of people, but on the other hand it may contradict the founding ideal of OSU being a land-grant institution,” said Derek Spinell, a second-year in communication technology. “More applications, (but) less Ohio students that get into the main campus.”

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

Rick LeMaster, a fifth-year in Japanese, was not surprised by the quality of incoming applications from the Common App. “OSU has been one of the largest schools in the

said.

Other students, like Rachel Dougherty, a second-year in atmospheric sciences, did not know gender-neutral bathrooms existed on campus.

Dougherty said if presented with the option of using a gender-neutral bathroom, she would not use one because she is used to and feels more comfortable with the typical women-only restroom.

She does, however, support the idea of having the facilities available.

“If I have the option to be comfortable in a bathroom, then everyone else should, too,” Dougherty said.

Frank Atkinson, a first-year in business, said he, too, was unaware there are gender-neutral bathrooms on campus.

Atkinson said the concept seems strange but he understands why the facilities would be desirable.

“Having it around and using it more would make it second nature and just as normal as the men and women’s restrooms are to everyone,” he said.

country for a while now, and if it’s attracting smarter students, then that’s a sign that things are being run fairly well,” LeMaster said.

An update to the Common App in August caused problems for students submitting documents and for OSU in downloading them, but Granger said that isn’t an issue anymore.

“At this point, most of the issues with the Common Application have been resolved, and so we’re going through the normal processing cycle,” Granger said.

Brooks said she had no problems with the Common App when submitting her application.

Jerry Kovacich, a senior at Howland High School in Howland, Ohio, was taken off guard by something else when he applied early action with the Common App. “I was surprised how short the writing prompt had to be … I was just expecting more,” Kovacich said of the personal essay, which is required to be between 250 and 650 words.

Kovacich found out later he had been accepted to OSU. “I was definitely really happy I got in,” he said.

Money from 1A the signs, but did not comment on why the money intended for academic programming and scholarships was used to pay for signage OSU had agreed to install a year earlier.

“The terms of the contract were agreed upon by both parties to include signage. Subsequently, 16 wayfinding signs were posted across campus to increase visibility in high traffic areas highlighting important information,” Lewis said in an email Monday.

Saunders said in an email Dec. 13 OSU was already thinking of installing signs before the contract.

“The university was moving forward with a larger, campus-wide way-finding signage initiative at about the same time as the signage for the Huntington agreement needed to be put in place. We combined the Huntington pedestrian way-finding signage with the university’s desire to install pedestrian way-finding signage, so the project provided the overall benefit of completing the university’s pedestrian way-finding initiative as well,” Saunders said.

Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp said while he was unaware the additional funds had in part gone toward the signs, he believes the money should have gone to students.

“At the end of the day, my continual message to the university has and will continue to be, our No. 1 priority as a (college) at this time has to be lowering (costs) for students,” Stepp said. “So when we do get scholarship money, let’s use it for scholarships.”

Stepp added that there have “certainly been some positive things to come from the Huntington partnership,” but said to keep the university “functioning at such a high level,” OSU needs to figure out how to keep tuition for students as low as possible.

“Let’s get our priorities straight here,” Stepp said.

“That’s my initial thought when I hear something like this (OSU using some of the funds for signs).”

Huntington is just one of several private contracts OSU holds that are worth a total of more than $660 million.

In 1998, OSU and Coca-Cola agreed to a more than $32 million, 10-year contract that made the company the university’s exclusive beverage vendor.

The contract was renewed in 2008 for an additional 10 years with the purpose being to increase revenue to the university to enhance the student experience, Lewis said.

Roughly a decade after renewing with Coca-Cola, OSU and Nike signed three separate seven-year contracts that went into effect Aug. 1, 2007. Recently, Nike exercised a contract option to extend all three agreements until July 31, 2018. Over 11 years, the contract is expected to yield $46 million for OSU, much of which is set to go to the Department of Athletics, Lewis said.

A directory sign located on 18th Avenue. OSU was required to install ‘way-finding’ signs as part of its agreement with Huntington Bank.

In 2012, the university agreed to a 50-year lease on its parking assets for the upfront price of $483 million. 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. The money from the contract was put into OSU’s endowment fund, which is being used for student scholarships, increased staff grants, adding tenure-track faculty and to support the Campus Area Bus Service.

It was announced in November 2012 that OSU had entered a 10-year, $97 million agreement with two apparel and retail businesses, J. America Sportswear and Fanatics Inc., to exclusively produce and sell university apparel. According to a Dec. 31 email from Lewis, however, “no agreement has been finalized” with Fanatics Inc. Lewis also said “over the past six months, other vendors have been considered to fill this role and it remains pending.” The names of the considered vendors however, were not disclosed. Lewis said, though, a separate license agreement was signed with J. America in December that had an effective date of Jan. 1.

Saunders said the Huntington directory signs are “filling the university’s overall pedestrian way-finding needs.”

The signs are located across campus, including near the RPAC, near William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, on 18th Avenue and on the South Oval.

Report: Spence tested positive for ecstasy ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu As it turns out, one of Ohio State’s top defenders didn’t miss the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl because he used a dietary supplement.

First reported to have been suspended for the use of a dietary supplement, OSU sophomore defensive end Noah Spence’s three-game ban is because he tested positive for ecstasy, according to a Tuesday report by abc27 of Harrisburg, Pa. The report states Spence’s father, Greg Spence, said his son tested positive for “a small amount of ecstasy” prior to the Big Ten Championship game Dec. 7 against Michigan State.

Greg Spence also said the conference originally suspended his son for a year, according to the report, because it considers the substance to be a performance enhancing drug.

He added that his son consumed the drug accidentally after taking an open drink from someone he did not know at a party.

In the state of Ohio, possession of the Schedule I drug in its smallest form results in a felony of the fifth degree, with penalties of six months to a year in jail and no more than a $2,500 fine.

Sophomore defensive end Noah Spence (8) knocks the ball away during a game against Indiana Nov. 23 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 42-14.

The Spence family appealed Noah Spence’s year-long ban, which was ultimately reduced to three games, according to the report. The report also stated that the NCAA considers ecstasy to be a “street drug,” which carries a lesser penalty. A second appeal was unsuccessful.

After not traveling with the team to Miami for the Orange Bowl against Clemson — in which the Buckeyes fell to the Tigers, 40-35 — OSU coach Urban Meyer was asked about Noah Spence’s absence.

“Noah didn’t fly down with us,”

Meyer said in a press conference Dec. 29. “He’s working through some personal issues at home.”

Noah Spence was then suspended for three games Jan. 1 after it was determined that he had “violated a Big Ten Conference rule,” according to an university press release.

An OSU spokesman said “we will have no further comment” on the situation in an email to The Lantern Tuesday.

Noah Spence led the Buckeyes with eight sacks in 2013 and finished

second on the team with 14.5 tackles for loss. Prior to the start of the season, Meyer spoke highly of the sophomore, stating how well he handles himself away from the football field.

“Extremely high character, go hard. When I tell our coaches to go out and find players, (Noah Spence is) who you go find. Very, very talented guy that has incredible self discipline, self respect. I love Noah Spence,” Meyer said at OSU Media Day Aug. 11.

Meyer also called Noah Spence and fellow sophomore defensive lineman Adolphus Washington two players who are “potential candidates for all-conference one day.”

Junior linebacker Ryan Shazier said after arriving in Miami that it would “be a huge loss” if Noah Spence was unable to play against the Tigers, and his presence was surely missed, as redshirt-senior quarterback Tajh Boyd and company posted 576 total yards of offense, including 378 yards and five touchdowns through the air.

The abc27 report also said the Spence family plans to file a lawsuit against the Big Ten. Continued attempts to contact Noah Spence and his family for comment were unsuccessful Tuesday evening.

After serving his suspension, Noah Spence figures to be a large contributor for the Buckeyes in 2014.

Hyde: ‘I’m looking forward to the next step in my life’ DANIEL ROGERS Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Nobody remembers who scaled Mount Everest after Sir Edmund Hillary.

Now the Ohio State football team and coach Urban Meyer head into the offseason with a few question marks on their roster, potentially none bigger than the loss of their own Hillary — senior running back Carlos Hyde.

Hyde became the first running back under Meyer to run for more than 1,000 yards in a single season, finishing off the season as a leader with 1,521 yards in 2013.

Meyer said Hyde has grown up as a player during his time in Columbus. “(He’s) completely different,” Meyer said Nov. 18.

“First off, he’s more mature. I love Carlos. He was immature a couple years ago — like very immature.

(Now) he handles his business.”

Although missing the first three games of the season because of a suspension that stemmed from an incident at a Columbus bar in July, Hyde managed to put together what ranks as the seventh greatest season rushing the ball by an OSU player.

He also finishes his career sixth in career rushing yards, just two behind former Buckeye great Keith Byars.

After the Nov. 16 matchup against Illinois when Hyde hit 1,000 yards, the running back said he played like he had to make up for something.

“You know, during my suspension I told myself it’s still possible,” Hyde said. “You just got to go even harder now. That’s exactly how I play … my mindset is, ‘I got to make up time.’ So that’s how I play.”

During the 60-35 victory against Illinois, Hyde had what was potentially his greatest game as an OSU player, rushing for 246 net yards, tied for the third highest single game total in OSU history.

“I watched film and we have a cut out where it’s all explosive runs and I saw other teams have a lot of success on their running plays,” Hyde said. “I kept that in the back of my mind, ‘Just be patient on your runs and let it come to you, and when it comes, just explode.’ That’s exactly what I did.”

Initially after returning from suspension, Hyde was still limited in the offense, only rushing for a combined 126 yards in his first two games back.

Hyde ran for more than that two game total in five of the remaining nine games, never failing to eclipse 100 yards.

His run of games breaching the century mark began in a tough battle against then-No. 15 Northwestern. With the Buckeyes trailing 23-13 midway through the third quarter, Meyer turned to Hyde to bring OSU back into the game.

Hyde went on to score three second half touchdowns, to go along with 168 rushing yards on the day, and help push OSU over the top for the 40-30 victory.

After the victory, Hyde was emotional, lamenting the opportunities he missed because of the suspension.

talent returning at running back in freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott, Hyde will not be an easy piece of the puzzle to replace.

However, the Buckeyes kick off their season hoping to do just that on Aug. 30 against Navy.

Meanwhile, Hyde will have to wait until the 2014 NFL Draft in May to discover his fate. He is rated as a second or third round prospect by CBSSports.

Hyde said after the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl his final season with OSU was a success but that he is looking forward to what comes next.

“Like I said earlier during the season, this season reminds me of my senior year in high school,” Hyde said. “I almost finished pretty much like I finished my senior year in high school, close to 1,600 yards and like 18 touchdowns.

So I think I had a pretty good career my last year here.

“I’m looking forward to the next step in my life.”

“That suspension, it really hurt not being out there with my brothers because I made a mistake,” Hyde said. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through.”

BCS title game shows brilliance of college football GRANT MILLER Lantern reporter miller.5617@osu.edu

@LanternSports

The empty sense of disappointment that arrived in the wake of Ohio State’s 2014 Discover Orange Bowl loss Friday night stayed with me throughout the entire weekend.

There was no consoling, nothing to make me truly forget about it.

I didn’t think watching Monday night’s BCS National Championship game between Florida State and Auburn could possibly make me feel any better. That was the game I wanted the Buckeyes to play in, the one they were so tantalizingly close to. It could only remind me how their season ended, right?

Wrong.

Instead of making me think

back on OSU’s shortcomings in South Florida, the 2014 National Championship Game lifted the dark cloud from above my head, and gave us 60 minutes of college football at its very best.

It didn’t seem like it at first, though. Auburn’s backfield duo of junior quarterback Nick Marshall and junior running back Tre Mason spent the first half seemingly confirming the national suspicion that Florida State’s impressive record was just the result of a weak schedule. An SEC blowout — not unlike last year — was on the cards.

The SEC had dominated for so long, and it looked like it was going to continue.

In a season that had seen countless pundits write off teams like Florida State and OSU because they didn’t play in a certain conference, the

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher celebrates after the BCS National Championship against Auburn Jan. 6 at the Rose Bowl. Florida State won, 34-31.

Buckeyes had lost their chance to silence those doubters, and now it looked like the Seminoles had too.

But things changed, dramatically. Auburn couldn’t pull away, and the result was a fourth quarter for the ages.

After a Tigers field goal, the Seminoles took their first lead in nearly 45 minutes with an electrifying kickoff return from freshman wide receiver Levonte “Kermit” Whitfield. Then Auburn hit right back through the unstoppable Mason. A little

more than a minute remained, and again Florida State’s time had almost run out.

Cue a seven-play, 80-yard drive, defined by this year’s Heisman Trophy winner, redshirt-freshman quarterback Jameis Winston. His beautiful touchdown pass to the leaping redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin with only 13 seconds left put the proper exclamation on an exhilarating 34-31 Seminole victory.

It was everything a championship game should be: heavyweight fight, chess match, and epic drama all rolled into one. It wasn’t so much about two teams as much as it was about the sport as a whole, a one-of-the-kind sight that could only take place on the gridiron.

sports A LOOK BACK: Pre and postseason polls PRESEASON

As is normally the case, multiple members of the AP college football poll’s top 10 failed to make the cut in the final rankings. A total of six teams (Ohio State, Stanford, Georgia, Texas A&M, Louisville and Florida) did not finish ranked in the top 10 at season’s end.

The four teams that did (Alabama, Oregon, South Carolina and Clemson) all moved except for Clemson in what was the final year of the BCS as next year the sport will adopt a playoff system. Florida State, this year’s national champion, was not even ranked in the initial top 10 poll.

8A

Buckeyes will be just fine in 2014 With the conclusion of arguably the most entertaining and best played National Championship game in the BCS era, the teams who came up just short of getting an opportunity to play for the ERIC SEGER crystal ball turn seger.25@osu.edu their attention to next fall.

Among those teams are the Ohio State Buckeyes, who finished ranked 12th in the sport’s final AP poll after starting the year at No. 2.

But for a program and fan base that has championship expectations every single year, 2013 could be seen as a failure.

The Buckeyes reeled off 24 straight victories under coach Urban Meyer, but they were unable to get the job done when it really mattered, losing first to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship game, and then to Clemson in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl. Back-toback losses seemed next to impossible less than two month ago, but it still happened.

So where does OSU go from here?

The loss of four offensive linemen will hurt, in addition to junior linebacker Ryan Shazier and redshirtjunior cornerback Bradley Roby heading to the NFL. The Buckeyes will also lose their top rusher in senior running back Carlos Hyde, and top receiver in senior wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown.

I know that seems like a lot, but relax, Buckeye Nation — it’s going to be fine.

With the reported decision by junior quarterback and two-time Big Ten player of the year Braxton Miller to return to school, the Buckeyes — and Meyer — are going to get another season of one of the most dynamic players in college football. That alone should put fans at ease, and make them excited for next football season.

Yes, finding four players to fill the void left by the graduated seniors on the offensive line won’t be an easy task, but redshirt-freshman Pat Elflein filled in admirably against Michigan and Michigan State in the absence of redshirt-senior Marcus Hall, earning glowing remarks from redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley. Offensive line coach Ed Warinner is one of the best in the business, and during fall camp spoke of redshirt-freshman Kyle Dodson and sophomore Jacoby Boren like they were on the cusp of being great.

Also, replacing the powerhouse that is Hyde might

be hard, but the Buckeyes should be able to do so smoothly. It’s clear that freshman Ezekiel Elliott is the guy Meyer sees as next in line, as he would often replace Hyde when he needed a break this year. With an impending improvement from year one to year two at OSU, a backfield of Elliott and Miller could be pretty special. And that’s not to mention freshman Dontre Wilson, whose speed is something the Buckeyes have been missing.

The Buckeye defense was in no way what fans are used to, particularly against the pass, where it gave up an average 268 yards per game — good for 112th in the country — and got torched by Clemson redshirt-senior quarterback Tajh Boyd and junior wide receiver Sammy Watkins in the Orange Bowl.

But with young players like freshman defensive back Vonn Bell and freshman defensive end Joey Bosa, the Silver Bullets could very well return to form next year.

They honestly have nowhere to go but up, and Meyer’s 2014 recruiting class (ranked No. 2 in the nation by rivals.com) features plenty of defensive talent including the country’s top linebacker, Raekwon McMillan.

OSU avoids playing traditional tough matchups in Wisconsin and Nebraska in 2014, and are sure to have revenge in their hearts for another trip to East Lansing, Mich., to take on the Spartans.

It’s often said that high-profile programs like Alabama, Texas and Florida State don’t rebuild, they reload.

And as long as Meyer is at the helm, fear not Buckeye fans — OSU will too.

I was caught in the crossfire, trying to travel to Columbus from Connecticut, but compared to others who spent days figuring out what flights they could take to get where they needed to go, I was fortunate to only spend about a day and a half doing so.

My flight was supposed to leave Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey at 4 p.m. and land at Port Columbus International Airport at 6:08 p.m. Saturday. I ended up landing in Columbus closer to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, about 32 hours after I originally left my house at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

What happened in between was a whirlwind of phone calls, muttered profanities and a lot of the good and bad of humanity and air travel.

The bad: When a flight attendant snapped at me for asking what time we’d be boarding (I asked five minutes after we were supposed to be on the plane), telling me the airplane was just being cleaned and I needed to be patient, Saturday at 3:40 p.m.

A different airport employee announced at 3:50 p.m. over the loudspeaker the flight had been canceled and instructed us to please head to customer service.

Some good: When I was able to find a customer service area for my airline that didn’t have an hour-long wait and was assisted by an employee who was kind, patient and relatively helpful.

When I made some friends in the standby line waiting for the flight to Columbus that was supposed to board at 5:10 p.m. Saturday and leave soon after, but instead got pushed back and pushed back until it left at about 8:30 p.m.

More bad: When a man who made it on the Saturday evening flight from the standby list, who I had been standing next to for about three hours, looked at me when I desperately asked for his ticket and maybe even considered giving it to me, but just said “sorry” and got on the plane instead.

Little good things: When I got on the phone Saturday after calling my airline many, many times and an agent helped me book a flight to Columbus for the next day at 3 p.m.

A woman next to me in a dark corner of the airport where we were charging our phones lent me a pen to use while I was booking the flight.

My parents drove me back home, an hour and a half from Newark, for the night at about 10 p.m. and let me order a hot pizza.

The annoying: Being put on hold on the phone for 45 minutes and later an hour and 45 minutes waiting to see if there was space on an earlier flight and where my checked luggage was.

Finding out Sunday morning the plane my 3 p.m. flight was supposed to use was supposed to come from Jacksonville, Fla. — a flight that had been canceled.

The lucky: After calling 25+ times Sunday before and during the hourlong drive to LaGuardia Airport in New York City, the airport I typically use, I got on the phone with the best agent I’d talked to yet who was able to find three flights to serve as backups in case the 3 p.m. one fell through.

The bad again: Two of those flights weren’t until Monday, a full day after I was expecting to be at work Sunday at noon.

After getting to my gate for my Sunday flight, the gate changed.

The flight was then delayed in small increments, sometimes increments that moved closer and mostly increments that moved farther away, until…

The best: I boarded my flight at about 6:30 p.m. and landed in Columbus at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Our flight attendant thanked everyone on the plane for being understanding — I think most of us would’ve used the word “resigned” instead.

Out of the stories I heard from everyone else at the airports, mine was mild. Others had to deal with days of rescheduled and canceled flights, trying to book a hotel room in an area where thousands of others were in the same situation and knowing they wouldn’t be able to get their kids to school on time this week or might not be able to graduate college if they didn’t make it back by a certain day. It was no airline’s or person’s fault, either. There was only a bad bit of weather to blame.

It was a weekend when all of us were in similar boats, and none of us knew where the boats would end up — just waiting, wishing, hoping we’d get where we wanted to go.

Italian filmmaker to be featured in Wex retrospective AMANDA ETCHISON Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu The Wexner Center for the Arts is taking visitors on a cinematic journey through Italy this winter, presented in an extensive retrospective exhibition featuring the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Known for films such as “Salò” and “The Gospel According to St. Matthew,” Pasolini began his directing career in 1961.

“For a variety of reasons, I think if a person is interested in film, (Pasolini) is one of the world’s greatest filmmakers,” said David Filipi, director of Film/ Video at the Wexner Center and organizer of the exhibition. “A lot of people regularly say that he was the most influential cultural figure in Italy in the postwar era … and that there has never been a person with as much influence as him.”

Filipi said he was inspired to model the Wexner Center exhibition after a 2012 Pasolini retrospective presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

“There’s never been a Pasolini retrospective in Columbus like the one that was in New York a (couple) years ago,” Filipi said. “It was kind of the perfect opportunity to approach the different Italian organizations that were involved (in previous retrospectives) and to say, ‘We’d like to bring this series to Columbus.’”

In this retrospective, Pasolini’s films are slated to be shown in newly restored 35 mm prints, according to the Wexner Center website. “(The retrospective) is a big deal and (we) are taking advantage of the fact that there are all of these new prints … it just seems like the perfect thing to bring to Ohio State,” Filipi said.

In addition to his filmmaking, Pasolini is well-known as an influential literary and cultural figure in Italian history.

“One thing that people in the U.S. might not fully appreciate is that as important of a filmmaker that Pasolini was, he is much better known as a poet,” Filipi said. “He had this incredible career and was an influential poet, a playwright, a social critic, an activist and a filmmaker.”

The diversity of Pasolini’s professional portfolio is further explored in two discussions sponsored by the Wexner Center. Two film scholars, Derek Duncan and Louis-Georges Schwartz, are scheduled to examine the aspects of Pasolini’s work that continue to have an impact on our society today.

“Pasolini is such an interesting figure that doing a presentation of his films really benefits from having some context,” Filipi said. “I think that there are so many different ways that you can look at his body of work … and having a couple of people come in and focus on a couple of the areas with a little bit more specificity will enhance people’s appreciation of his work.”

The retrospective is also set to examine the lasting impact of the artist’s distinctive personal philosophies.

“There’s no one in Italy who hasn’t heard of Pier Paolo Pasolini,” said Dana Renga, assistant professor of Italian at OSU. “Especially in Italy, he embodies a really conflicted set of beliefs. He was a Marxist, a Catholic and he was gay, three things that (traditionally) do not correspond well with each other.”

Renga explained that Pasolini’s personal beliefs permeated his cinematic work and lifestyle, causing him to be seen as a political and social icon. “(Pasolini is) thought of as this really contested figure and people cling to him as one of the last bastions of hope of protest in Italy,” Renga said.

“Pasolini still embodies the cry for some sort of awareness on the part of the every person to wake up and look around and see how incredibly messed up and corrupt the system is.”

Pasolini’s high-profile career and personal life ended suddenly with his murder in 1975. The circumstances surrounding the 53-year-old filmmaker’s death are still questioned, Renga added.

“His death is still highly contested,” Renga said.

“Especially in terms of Italian politics and Italian culture and Italian society, (Pasolini’s death) is a hotbed of conspiracy, of misunderstanding and conflict.”

Yet Pasolini’s legacy continues to live on, providing inspiration for many of today’s prominent Italian filmmakers.

“A lot of Italy’s most popular directors now keep coming back to Pasolini,” Renga said.

“Pasolini haunts contemporary Italian cinema.

People are constantly bringing him up. He is kind of a director that no one can leave behind.”

Renga said Pasolini’s distinctive style will offer a different cinematic experience to visitors of the retrospective.

“In some senses, I am very curious as to how the Columbus crowd is going to welcome his films,” Renga said. “(But if) you love Italian cinema and if you love directors that love to linger in the moment, then I think (you will) really have fun with him.”

Despite the many differences between Pasolini’s films and the box-office-topping movies of Hollywood today, Renga is confident that the retrospective will provide visitors with a meaningful viewing experience.

“You are not going to leave unaffected,” Renga said. “Some people will be like ‘What in the world did I just see?’ but there definitely will be something to talk about afterwards, I promise.”

The Pier Paolo Pasolini retrospective is set to begin with a presentation of “Hawks and Sparrows Porcile” Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Theater. Tickets for this event cost $6 for students, seniors and members and $8 for all other adults. The exhibition is scheduled to conclude Feb. 25.

All of Pasolini’s films featured in the retrospective are set to be presented in Italian with English subtitles. More information and ticket pricing can be found on the Wexner Center website.

OSU intends to collaborate with Columbus’ art community to create a university arts district.

OSU makes plans to premiere $200M university arts district KATHLEEN MARTINI Oller reporter martini.35@osu.edu Ohio State will take on a greater role in Columbus’ arts community soon.

The district is to be located at 15th Avenue and High Street and include the newly renovated Sullivant Hall, the Wexner Center for the Arts and Mershon Auditorium, said David Manderscheid, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

“It was a plan of the previous dean (now-Provost Joseph Steinmetz) and certainly a plan I’m continuing and expanding to provide facilities for our students in the arts and provide opportunities for students in the arts that are second-to-none,” Manderscheid said.

Sullivant Hall closed for renovation in August 2011, according to Lantern archives. It is set to open this month, which is three months past its projected opening in November.

The building will house the Department of Dance, Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, Department of Art Education. The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum made the move to Sullivant in November.

The renovation of Sullivant is the first step in the creation of the arts district on campus. The next step includes the expansion of the music and theater buildings, Manderscheid said.

The entire plan is budgeted to cost $200 million, which comes from the university, donors and money from the privatization of campus parking, from which $50 million was set aside as an endowment for the arts, Manderscheid said.

Jay Murphy, the sole proprietor of electronic dance music project Up Until Now, does not hold much regard for the EDM descriptor that is applied to the music he makes.

“The term EDM is giving a bad name to electronic dance music,” Murphy said. “I feel like a lot of the times EDM can be pop music. It all kind of sounds the same and a little generic. I like more styles of music than just electronic music and I try to infuse that into what I do.”

The Athens, Ga.-based musician is scheduled to present his brand of electronic music on The Basement stage Thursday night.

Murphy often tries to interweave non-electronic musicianship with his produced music.

“That was the thing, I always wanted to incorporate traditional instrumentation on it and have a guitar player play a part that sounds like it was produced electronically, or take something organic and make it blitzed out or to do something unique with it,” he said.

Murphy’s drive to create an expansive style of EDM might be connected to one of his favorite artists and influences: Stevie Wonder.

“Even though you may not hear it in the music, my biggest influence is Stevie Wonder. He’s someone who writes, produces and arranges all of his own music. He plays the majority of the instruments on his record,” Murphy said. “That was a huge influence on me growing up, and I just think he’s an amazing songwriter and singer.”

Like Murphy, Vince Bonanno, who graduated from Ohio State with a degree in marketing Autumn 2013, differentiates Up Until Now from other artists who make electronic music.

“I actually like (Up Until Now), and I really don’t like EDM music that much.

(Up Until Now’s music) actually has a song structure which is good,” Bonnano said.

If he were to see live electronic music, he would “choose something along those lines.”

Though having performed as Up Until Now for about three years, this project is the product of musical modernity. Murphy

EDM artist Up Until Now is scheduled to perform at The Basement Jan. 9. found that playing music by himself in the 2010s was doable and not as atypical as it was in past years, he said.

“Over the last five, six years, it’s been more acceptable for people to see just one person on stage,” Murphy said. “You didn’t see it as much in the early 2000s.”

The Basement tends to be a venue designated for new artists that might not have broken through to mainstream audiences yet like Up Until Now, said Marissa Luther, marketing director at PromoWest Productions.

“There’s a few different things, theories that we work on when we book that venue,” Luther said. “It’s mostly the up-and-coming bands. It might also be a band that’s unsure of its popularity still.”

Even in its few years on the music scene , Up Until Now has seen growth, Murphy said. The newest release for which Murphy is touring, “Come Too Far,” is his fourth, with each release seeing sonic development.

“The first stuff I was doing was definitely more up-tempo, more house beats and stuff,” Murphy said. “I was trying to go for a certain sound. As I kept doing that, I kind of just threw that all out the window. I started making tracks that I thought were good, and not really focusing on any genre or anything. I like so much and I felt like I was limiting myself.

“Once I threw that out the window, I was much happier with the product that I was putting out. Letting a song be what it is, letting the sounds be what they were. Just doing what I thought was good and what I thought people might like.”

Up Until Now is scheduled to take the stage at The Basement, located at 391 Neil Ave., with doors opening at 7 p.m. The Puzzled Pieces is set to open, and tickets are available for $10.

[ a +e ] Luke Bryan, Panic! At The Disco ease January freeze commentary

Caitlin Essig Managing editor for content essig.21@osu.edu

when Jackson ruled the world of pop, be sure to check out this show.

The doors are set to open at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are available for $15 in advance or $20 the day of the show.

Columbus has a lively, budding music scene, with dozens of places to hear live music that draw in a range of talented artists. Each month, The Lantern will highlight some of the best acts to come through the city. Stay tuned to see what we think is worth the ticket price.

Ideamen, Water Towers and Basic Cable Preachers — Jan. 14 at Bernie’s Bagels & Deli / The Distillery If the cold persists throughout the month of January in a manner anything like what Columbus has been experiencing this week, ducking into Bernie’s for a live show might sound like the best way to spend a chilly Tuesday night. Luckily, some great acts are coming to the hole-in-the-wall bar this month. Ideamen is a Chicago-native alternative rock group, self-described as one “best seen live to appreciate.” The band is piano heavy and flits through original and cover songs in its sets, with really something for everyone.

Water Towers and Basic Cable Preachers are both young, local bands, one with an alternative rock feel while the other is self-described as “energetic pop-rock with heartache,” respectively. Both bands round out the show by offering something a little different and have been around just long enough to have truly found their footing as far as developing their signature sounds. As someone who has watched Basic Cable Preachers grow over the past few years, you’re not going to want to miss hearing these guys live.

The show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., and entrance is available with a $7 cover for all ages.

Luke Bryan is set to perform at the Schottenstein Center Jan. 16. country stars of our time, and luckily for Columbus, he’s coming back to town this month. Last visiting in August 2012, Bryan’s That’s My Kind of Night tour is kicking off in Columbus next week.

That means concertgoers to this Jan. 16 show will get a taste of the tour before anyone else — and it’s sure to be a good one.

Coming off a year in which he won four major music awards including Entertainer of the Year from the Academy of Country Music, Bryan is riding a high in his career. After seeing him live twice in the past three years, I can say from experience that he is an incredible performer, and any country music lovers looking to escape the winter blues in favor of the flavor of summer ought to find themselves at this show.

The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. with

Arts from 10A The city of Columbus welcomes further collaboration with the university, said Jami Goldstein, vice president of marketing, communications and events for the Greater Columbus Arts Council.

“The Greater Columbus Arts Council and the arts community have always had a strong partnership with the university,” Goldstein said. “The offerings of OSU arts are really just great for the community as a whole and for our cultural tourism.”

The reopening of Sullivant provides the “perfect launch” for collaboration between the city and university, Goldstein said.

“The idea of a more connected downtown has always, I think, been

Who’s Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band — Jan. 18 at Newport Music Hall Missing the King of Pop? For those who missed seeing Michael Jackson live before his death in 2009, settling for the next best thing will have to do. The band is the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute band, according to its website, and covers an extensive catalogue of his music.

While it’s impossible to deliver the way the original king did in his prime, Who’s Bad does fill Jackson’s shoes as well as a group could. For a night of nostalgia and time travel back to the time

part of everyone’s plans,” Goldstein said. “If we can connect the university and the downtown area, everyone benefits.”

Further recognition of the arts in Columbus will come with the expansion, but the existing arts scene has already garnered national and international attention, Goldstein said.

“We have world-class arts here. There’s no doubt,” Goldstein said, pointing to Gallery Hop and the retail sector of the Short North Arts District. “Some might argue that the Short North is already a world-class arts district … I think that this just takes it to the next level.”

Manderscheid shared Goldstein’s vision of Columbus arts growing.

“We live in a great city for the arts, and we want to capitalize on that for the students’ advantage and for the community’s advantage,” he said.

Panic! At The Disco — Jan. 24 at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion For those with nostalgia that doesn’t quite reach back to the ‘80s, but instead settles more in the angsty 2000s, Panic! At The Disco is back on tour, delighting the middle school version of many 20-somethings. And don’t worry — the briefly absent “!” is back.

For more than just nostalgia, returning fans ought to check out this show to catch the evolution of Panic! as a band. The band always had sort of an odd distinction about it, and while its newer music is still accented by Brendon Urie’s everrecognizable voice, it also has a more modern quality to it. Whether the changes to a more pop-driven sound is for the better is personal preference, but I recommend checking out “This is Gospel” from the group’s latest album to decide for yourself. And even if it’s just for nostalgia’s sake, consider checking out the live show when Panic! erupts in Columbus.

Opening artists are The Colourist and X Ambassadors, and doors are scheduled to open at 7 p.m. Tickets are sold out through Ticketmaster, but some are still available through Stubhub.

“We’ve been anticipating it for almost two and a half years now, so it’s definitely well worth the wait,” said Elyse Morckel, a fourth-year in dance.

The added collaboration between OSU and the Columbus arts community has students feeling more confident about their prospects after graduation, Morckel said.

“Being connected and having that networking that our department and the university promotes is something that I feel is a valuable tool going into the real world looking for jobs,” Morckel said.

More information on the next step of the building of a university arts district will be available later in the semester, Manderscheid said.
