Greek houses may become more like residence halls

When second-year students are required to live on-campus in less than three years, options for housing will dwindle. For those who want to move to the off-campus neighborhood, Greek housing will likely be the main retreat. OSU, however, plans to require some changes for fraternities and sororities that wish to continue housing second-years. Student Life organized a committee which met last year to discuss changes to be made with the intent of making the experience of living in a fraternity or sorority congruent with that of living in residence halls. That goal is the basis for a draft of new housing standards for Greek Life, which among other things would require chapter houses to have desks in each bedroom or dayroom and a study space. The new housing standard, while not finalized, would also ban alcohol from all common areas and require chapters to have a live-in adviser, recommended to be at least one year removed from being

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design an undergraduate student . According to the proposed policy, alcohol would be allowed in bedrooms where at least one student is 21 years old, and chapters could apply for alcohol policy exemptions under certain circumstances. Some chapters, though, prohibit alcohol in their houses already. The committee that worked on the draft included faculty, staff and representatives of the Greek Life

governing councils, the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., and Panhellenic Association. Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said it is up to the chapters whether they want to participate in the second-year living program or not. “We believe that our Greek organizations will make successful

partners with STEP, and have approached them on that basis. However, participation by the chapters is entirely voluntary, and we encourage each chapter to perform its own due diligence in order to arrive at the decision that is best for them,” Isaacs said. STEP, the Second-Year Transformational Experience Program, is a co-curricular component of the requirement for second-year students to live on campus but STEP will likely not be mandatory for students. “I can’t imagine that we would ever require a student to do STEP, what we hope is that we can build a program that every student wants to participate,” said Vice President for Student Life Javaune AdamsGaston in an August interview with The Lantern. Currently STEP is the only co-curricular component of the second-year live-in requirement. Other programs, however, may be developed, Adams-Gaston said. Isaacs said a committee met with Greek Life chapters that requested a meeting to gather feedback. Chapters would have to opt-in

Although Ohio State does not have a permanent leader at its helm, Interim President Joseph Alutto isn’t taking that as an excuse to stop the university’s progress. Alutto, who has been interim president since former OSU President E. Gordon Gee’s retirement July 1, said he hopes to leave the university a better place than he found it. “I hope to accomplish what I’ve hoped to accomplish at every position I’ve had,” Alutto said in an interview with The Lantern Sept. 23. “Which is by the time I leave here, I hope this will be a better institution as a result of what I’ve been able to do.” Alutto served as executive vice president and provost of the university from October 2007 until June 30, and he served as interim president from July 1, 2007, to Sept. 30, 2007, between former President Karen Holbrook and Gee’s second term at the university. Alutto was also previously the dean of the Fisher College of Business. He said he has four main goals for his term, including drawing in quality students, faculty and staff, creating new programs and providing key resources. As far as drawing “the very best possible students” goes, Alutto said there are some issues that need to be overcome. “It’s a balancing issue as we deal with the

Any institution as large as Ohio State has areas where it can do a better job of restraining and controlling cost issues. Joseph Alutto OSU Interim President question of access to excellence,” he said. “Access is really just a matter of keeping costs as low as possible and you provide access as a result of that to students, a wide variety of students. “And excellence is actually easy … It’s hiring the very best faculty and staff and spending all your resources to do that. So to do either access or excellence really doesn’t take much talent. To do access to excellence, however, to combine those two, that attention built into who we are as an institution and it’s that balance that I think is so important for us as we go forward.” He went on to say OSU needs to work on containing its costs. “Any institution as large as Ohio State has areas where it can do a better job of restraining and controlling cost issues,” Alutto said. “I know that there (are) areas where we could do things better and more efficiently, which means we take some of the pressure off the affordability question.” Some OSU students said they agree that cost savings are important.

“Cost efficiency (leads to) savings for students in the long-run,” said Michael Schuler, a fourth-year in industrial and systems engineering. “Right now, I know we have a huge problem as far as affordability for college for many students, and I think that should be the goal of all university (presidents) right now, to really decrease those costs, to make secondary education something that’s really attainable for everyone.” Other students said OSU should be especially frugal in its time of transition. “Until we have an official president who can set long-term goals, I don’t think we should unnecessarily spend money,” said Nick Bashian, a second-year in chemistry. Bashian said Alutto should work to connect with students more. “I feel like Gee had a better connection with students,” he said. “I like that about a president, and I feel like Alutto should try to do the same thing more.” Alutto said his goal of creating programs would help draw all faculty and students together. “You can bring great students to an institution, you can hire great faculty, but unless you create programs, it doesn’t pay off for either one of them. It’s to make sure that we continue to have new programs, strengthen the programs we have, and decide how to distribute those resources of students to faculty,” he said.

ALEXA CARSON Lantern reporter carson.239@osu.edu Some leaders of health and wellness at Ohio State want to make the university the healthiest in the nation, but they don’t think it’s all on them — it starts on a personal level. “It doesn’t work from a top down approach,” said Bernadette Melnyk, associate vice president for health promotion, university chief wellness officer and dean of the College of Nursing. “You have to have people at a grassroots (level) who are helping us to create environments and cultures of wellness.” The annual address on the State of Health and Wellness in Buckeye Nation, held Monday at Ohio Union and led by Melnyk, focused on inspiring faculty members to have a positive attitude toward health and wellness and included a discussion about ways to improve their overall personal wellness. “I want people to get inspired and motivated to make healthy lifestyle behavior changes,” Melnyk said in an interview with The Lantern after the address. About 200 people attended the address, which included lunch. The event cost approximately $5,500 and was paid for by the College of Nursing, according to Kathryn Kelley, the chief advancement officer of the College of Nursing. Melnyk first addressed some findings from a report of more than 28,000 faculty members’ Personal Health and Well-Being Assessments. The assessments combine self-reported information about the participant’s health along with information from biometric health screenings, which are screenings of a patient’s overall health through measures like blood pressure or body mass index, a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Melnyk said this type of information can help wellness leaders determine where the university is in terms of health and plan desired outcomes accordingly.

Bernadette Melnyk, dean of the College of Nursing, speaks at the State of Health and Wellness in Buckeye Nation Oct. 14 at the Ohio Union. Faculty and staff members who do not complete a PHA only have access to two basic health care plans, which cost upwards of about $95 per month, instead of having four options that cost upwards of $34 per month, according to the OSU My Benefits Plan 2014 website. Melnyk said according to the assessments, about 61 percent of the faculty and staff are overweight or obese and about 25 percent reported their total cholesterol levels are more than 200. Cholesterol levels between 200 to 239 are considered borderline high and those above 240 are considered high, which can lead to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, according to the American Heart Association website. Melnyk said these levels are “not a whole lot

better” than the national average, which is about 200, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We have a lot of room for opportunity,” she said. Larry Lewellen, vice president of care coordination and health promotion, said OSU needs to work on constant improvement. “We’ve got to be more healthier next year than this year, and healthier still the following year,” he said in his speech at the event. Melnyk emphasized the importance of engaging in four key behaviors for personal health and wellness: not smoking, participating in at least 30 minutes of physical activity five times a week, eating

campus Program allows students to take online classes from other universities MADELYN GRANT Lantern reporter grant.382@osu.edu While Ohio State doesn’t have plans to officially participate in a new online program offering classes via video chat, OSU students might still be able to get university credit for classes like “How to Rule the World” and “Baseball and American Culture.” Semester Online, a program that offers for-credit online courses, uses live video conferencing and online chats to teach students. The program offers courses from a collection of schools including Boston College, Brandeis University, Emory University, Northwestern University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Notre Dame, Wake Forest University and Washington University in St. Louis. The program opened enrollment for 19 courses in its Spring 2014 catalog. Semester Online is in partnership with 2U, Inc., a company founded in 2008 that aims to provide universities with technology, infrastructural support and capital to make programs available online, according to the 2U website. University registrar Brad Myers said although Ohio State hasn’t discussed joining the program, the university shouldn’t have a problem accepting the credits of students who take the courses. “The institutions mentioned are all regionally and nationally accredited … I know that we would feel confident about the quality of the class work and oversight into the development, approval and evaluation processes from those institutions,” Myers said. The program’s pilot opened in Fall 2013 for its first semester, with more than 100 students enrolled across 10 different courses, Andrew Hermalyn,

Universities offering program classes: •Boston College •Brandeis University •Emory University •Northwestern University •The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill •University of Notre Dame •Wake Forest University •Washington University in St. Louis Source: Reporting executive vice president and general manager of Semester Online, said. Students who are currently enrolled in a regionally accredited institution and are of sophomore, junior or senior standing, as well as in good academic standing, can now apply for Spring 2014 courses until the Dec. 23 deadline, Hermalyn said. Hermalyn said the classes cost $1,400 per credit hour and all classes are three credit hours, totalling $4,200 per course. He said the program targets specific students.

$1,400 per credit hour All classes are 3 credit hours

KAYLA ZAMARY / Design editor “The Semester Online program was really meant for two types of students. The first type of student is the type that might want to take a semester off campus to work, travel, get an internship or be at home for a personal reason, but do not want to fall behind. The second is the kind that might want to remain on campus but take courses in areas that Ohio State may not offer and use this as curricular expansion,” Hermalyn said. The classes include self-paced work throughout the week, as well as one 80-minute class per week

where the students are in a live chat with the professor and other students. “It’s all front row, small class sizes with no more than 20 students, which keeps the quality and rigour of the class really high,” Hermalyn said. Connor Regan, a Northwestern second-year in economics and learning and organizational change, is taking a course through Semester Online’s pilot program and said it’s been a worthwhile experience so far. “I’ve never taken an interactive online course before, so it’s been interesting to see how this format lines up with my learning method. I’d say that my workload is approximately equivalent to that which is expected in my traditional format classes — it’s different, not more or less necessarily,” he said in an email. OSU offers its own selection of online classes — during Spring Semester 2013, there were 154 different courses that had students enrolled in at least one distance learning section, according to Lantern archives. Some OSU students said this type of program could take away from what students learn to overcome by having on-campus classes. “Waking up for the 8 a.m. (classes) makes you a bit of stronger person,” said Kelly Hill, a third-year in engineering who has taken OSU’s online classes in the past. Other students said they see the program as an opportunity to take classes at some top universities. “They are famous universities and I really want to experience other schools teaching methods and see what the difference is between their school and our school,” said Zhengjie Li, a fourth-year in communication who has taken online classes at OSU before.

Social media, scholarship campaigns on enrollment office marketer’s mind ANDREW TODD-SMITH Lantern reporter todd-smith.1@osu.edu Ohio State welcomed home one of its own when Pete McGinty, a 1981 alumnus, assumed responsibilities as associate vice president of marketing and strategic communication for the Office of Enrollment Services this summer. McGinty left his post as chief marketing officer at local marketing and communications firm Fahlgren Mortine to join OSU’s staff July 15. He said his job is to “lead the marketing and communications efforts to help recruit students” for OES, a department that reports to Provost Joseph Steinmetz and is distinct from the university’s communications division. His team aims to showcase the opportunities and resources at OSU and in Columbus to current and prospective students. McGinty will earn about $190,000 annually, OSU spokeswoman Liz Cook said. McGinty replaced Allen Kraus in the position, who left OSU for a job with Ologie, a Columbus brand-marketing firm that helped with the design of the OSU Department of Athletics Fawcett Center’s Buckeye theme. McGinty has been hired to build upon the groundwork of the marketing plan laid by his predecessor, but his title is new because the position’s duties have been “expanded to include marketing and communication efforts for Ohio State’s new $100 million scholarship campaign,” Cook said in an email. The campaign is called the Ohio Scholarship Challenge, and aims to create a full scholarship in each of the Ohio’s 88 counties and support other alumni club scholarships. McGinty’s department plans to use electronic and print marketing, web development and social media to accomplish its goals, he said. “We need to push the message that we’ve got strong academics, along with the fact that coming to Ohio State is a great living and learning experience,” McGinty said. Jonathan Wlodarski, a third-year in Spanish and English, said he wouldn’t have been persuaded to

attend a college based on if they reached out to him via social media. “I would say that I probably would have been annoyed by it. I imagine it would work in favor for other people but I wouldn’t like that,” Wlodarski said. Third-year in international studies and Spanish, Marisa Lally, though, said using social media could make a big impact on potential students. “It does have value because today, a lot of people are involved with social media. So I think that students — especially high school students now — would feel connected to the university that way,” Lally said. McGinty said his department will also focus on characterizing the area for out-of-state students to help them get a feel for the area. “(We want them to) understand that Columbus is a vibrant community. There are significant opportunities for them in terms of their enrichment with a college education and also beyond,” McGinty said. Dolan Evanovich, vice president of strategic enrollment planning, said McGinty was largely brought in to help with the Ohio Scholarship Challenge. “We need to have someone with his (McGinty’s) experience work with our advancement team and find ways to raise more need- and merit-based aid. We want to expand our connections with the Columbus region and he can help us position Columbus in the most positive way,” Evanovich said. “We’re an economic engine for the state of Ohio, and with his vast experience, he was clearly the candidate of choice.” Evanovich said OSU had conducted a nationwide search to fill the position and McGinty “rose to the top very quickly.” McGinty worked for Experience Columbus, an organization that fosters city tourism, prior to his time at Fahlgren Mortine. Beginning in 2009, he led the Fahlgren Mortine project that oversaw collaboration between entities like Columbus 2020, an economic development organization that works toward goals such as adding jobs in Columbus by the year 2020, and the Columbus Chamber of Commerce to market the city’s cultural and economic offerings. The chance to return to OSU and apply his

Pete McGinty, who graduated from OSU in 1981, became the associate vice president of marketing and strategic communication for the Office of Enrollment Services July 15. expertise was one McGinty didn’t want to pass up, he said. “It instantly appealed to me. I’ve remained close to the university. I’m a member of the Alumni Association. This place is in my blood. Being a part of helping the university continue on its mission is something that’s extremely exciting for me,” McGinty said. McGinty has two stepchildren who graduated from OSU, as well as two children who he said he hopes “will soon be on their way to attending OSU.”

McGinty said the transition to his new job has brought him back to his college days. “In many ways, I feel like a student again. My eyes and ears are wide open. I’m in an absorbing phase and a learning phase,” McGinty said. “I’m not ashamed to say that. What better place to be than in a position to have to learn and grow and be challenged in all of the best ways?”

or opt-out of the new housing standard by the time second-years are required to live on campus in 2016. Chapters that decide to opt-in to the standard would require a facility audit by the university, according to an email sent by AdamsGaston Oct. 9 to Greek Life community members. She also said in the email her “team is also happy to present the proposed standard to (the chapters) over the next two weeks” if chapters want to schedule a presentation of a facility audit. The housing standards draft was emailed to chapter presidents Oct. 3. Adams-Gaston met with chapter presidents that night to receive feedback concerning the new policies. The Lantern was denied access to that meeting by a majority vote of chapter presidents. Casey Leech, the president of Kappa Sigma and a fourth-year in international studies and

economics, said the second-year living program provides an opportunity for Greek Life to grow because living in a fraternity or sorority is likely the main option students will have besides residence halls for their second years. Leech, however, said he doesn’t like that the new policies take away sovereignty from the individual chapters, especially with regards to the alcohol policy. Leech said the current restrictions for fraternity parties are sufficient. “We already have to register (events) through the university, and I think the system that’s in place right now is really good. IFC (Interfraternity Council) Inspection comes by to check our party to make sure the facility is safe and that we are abiding by the alcohol policies of Greek Life. I think it’s a phenomenal job that they’re doing and I think it’s already made parties safer over the last couple years, so I don’t know why you would change a system that’s already working well,” Leech said.

Health from 1A healthier by consuming five fruits and vegetables a day and drinking alcohol in moderation. In her address, she also challenged faculty to develop new, innovative ways to increase health and wellness, adding it is important to find ways to make being healthy enjoyable. Melnyk said this year wellness leaders will specially be focused on nutrition and physical activity. Those working on health initiatives are also going to keep promoting initiatives and groups that were effective in the past, such as the Buckeye Wellness Amazing Race, an on-campus wellness event based on CBS’ reality show “The Amazing Race” that was held Aug. 28, and the Buckeye Wellness Innovators program, a group of faculty and staff members who promote and plan their own health and wellness activities in their respective departments. Winners

from this year’s Amazing Race competition and the Buckeye Wellness Innovators who were deemed the most successful were recognized and given awards at Monday’s address. Michelle Fennessy, an assistant professor in the College of Nursing, said she attended the address because she believes in order to promote health and wellness in her profession, she needs to be healthy herself and she wanted to learn how the university would help. She said she felt the address emphasized the importance of individual participation. “Even though it’s a university initiative, each of us as an individual has a part,” Fennessy said. Melnyk said she hoped faculty members who attended took at least one important message from her address. “I hope they’re inspired to make one healthy lifestyle change, whatever that is for them. Just one,” Melnyk said. “That’s the simple message I (wanted) to get out.”

We’ve seen creepy little girl zombies lifelessly clutching stuffed animals, we’ve seen the bloating, pompous creatures emerging from wells, the severed halves of people pawing through the grass and even best friends coming back from the dead with the taste for flesh in their eyes. But who would think we would see a zombie hanging from the ceiling by his guts, spinning helplessly while parts of him dangled away resembling some sort of holiday ornament? Yes, Season 4 of “The Walking Dead” is here. Set an unknown number of months later, the premiere slowly introduced us to the many changes Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the gang have undergone, including the many aesthetic changes to the prison setting. We got to see farmer Rick in action, raising enough vegetables and livestock to feed the growing number of survivors within the prison walls. Carol (Melissa McBride) was portrayed as an epic mother figure, secretly training the many new children defensive tactics in her “storytime sessions.” Countless new faces were introduced, including romance interests for both Tyreese (Chad Coleman) and Beth (Emily Kinney), though poor Beth can’t seem to keep a guy in her life for very long, given her brother and boyfriend both fell victim to the zombies. The episode did a great job of introducing the new scenery as well as balancing some horrific action, which was downright chaotic. A search party led by Daryl (Norman Reedus) had to dodge literal raining walkers, falling through the ceiling of a supermarket because the newcomer Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) had a small mental struggle with his alcohol addiction. Rick was led unwittingly through the forest by a woman that could make anyone shuffle uncomfortably in their chairs. Hair matted, eyes desperate and barely any meat left on her bones, she resembled someone a mere breath away from becoming a walker. The old Rick wouldn’t have given this woman the time of day, but this bearded sheriff seems to have resolved most of his past issues. His “three questions” as well as the mention of “the council” opened many questions regarding prison operations. Where has Michonne (Danai Gurira) been riding off to on that horse, chasing The Governor (David Morrissey)? Where will Tyreese fit in with his quest to gain more respect

Norman Reedus, center, and Steven Yeun in a scene from ‘The Walking Dead,’ which premiered its fourth season Oct. 13. in the community? What the heck is the story between Daryl and Carol? Small amounts of humor were peppered throughout the episode as sighs of relief, especially through Daryl. It was particularly funny to see how everyone in the fictional “community” loves him, more than likely paying homage to his gigantic fan base outside of the show. Comics were mentioned multiple times, especially as Carl’s newfound interest, creating a sense of self-awareness between the show and the graphic novels. Comic book fans can keep their fingers crossed in anticipation of what’s to come, with regards to the show’s obvious differences. Scott Gimple, the new showrunner for this season of zombie mania, has taken helm and is on point to set the familiar series in new directions. The premiere last Sunday was example of Gimple’s work combined with countless others that are responsible for the show’s continued success. A new theme was woven throughout the

premiere, and was even eerily mentioned by the crazy lady in the woods: “Can we come back from the things we’ve done?” This new angle presents many opportunities for fresh ideas — rather than the struggle to survive — as the group is faced with clinging on to what little of them remains human. Character development will be at an all-time high detailing the effects of the outbreak on each person’s psyche, and we can expect some chilling outcomes. “30 Days Without an Accident” laid the stepping stones for the many things to come this season. Several characters, both old and new, are set up for arcs that will no doubt surprise and awe the audience. Right now, unbeknown to the other characters, the newcomer Patrick (Vincent Martella) is writhing on the prison shower floor getting hungrier by the second for flesh, just waiting to wreak havoc when next week’s episode debuts. Get ready, “Walking Dead” fans, the prison is about to be a whole lot less safe.

Ask a few people to classify an artist into one genre and you’re likely to get a diverse range of answers. Asking the artist herself should be an easier task, seeing as no one is more familiar with her music, but Frankie Rose refuses to give herself a label. To this Brooklyn-based musician, her songs transcend a specific genre mold that others might give her. “I’ve been called so many things,” Rose said. “I can tell you what I don’t think it is. I don’t think it is garage rock. Somehow, along the way, I gained the reputation of being a garage rock songstress that I don’t believe is true. Nor is it lo-fi. It’s actually the exact opposite. I just let people do what they want to make of it. It’s not my job to put it in a box.” Rose has been in New York for eight years working in the service industry and performing in several bands like Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls and Crystal Stilts. She said her career has always just “sputtered along,” but she is now touring with English indie rock band Franz Ferdinand. The two acts are slated to perform at Newport Music Hall Wednesday, with the doors opening at 7 p.m. “The whole crew has been so nice and generous and professional and it’s been amazing,” Rose said. “Franz Ferdinand is the first support tour I’ve ever done. It’s a different perspective and it’s great, actually. They have a lot of roots in the sounds that I like to do, and they’re more of a straightforward rock band, but I have music and records that are along that line as well.” This is not Rose’s first time in Columbus, as she performed in Columbus with Crystal Stilts in 2008, Vivian Girls in 2009, and Dum Dum Girls in 2010. Rose released her first solo single “Thee Only One” under the moniker Frankie Rose and The Outs in 2009, but is now performing as Frankie Rose. “I see a difference even from the last record to this record, whether it’s better or worse, I’m not sure,” Rose said. “Is it different? Yes, and what’s going to happen next, actually, I have no idea… You can hope that you’re growing and doing something innovative and interesting for yourself, but sometimes you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s a crapshoot.” Derek DuPont, a fourth-year in communication and co-founder of the Columbus Songwriters Association, has never heard Rose’s solo work before, but is slightly familiar with her work with Dum Dum Girls. “I heard a cover song that they did, I’m not sure what it was, but it was really good,” said DuPont, who plans to attend the concert. Amjed Osman, a second-year in finance, said he thinks Rose’s song “Sorrow” from her latest album “Herein Wild” sounds like a lot of songs that are being released and liked it. “If I bought music from iTunes, I would buy it,” Osman said. Rose said it is very important to her that her songwriting comes from within. “I’ve never really written music for anyone else but myself, and there is not one single song where I was trying to convey something to certain people,” Rose said. “I just happened to make music and thank goodness, people are interested in listening to it.” For six years in San Francisco, Rose worked as a bike messenger. After that, she worked “a million terrible jobs,” bartending and serving coffee. All the while, Rose was always playing music. At this point in her career, there are times when Rose said she still thinks of going back to bartending, simply because of the non-committal aspect

Frankie Rose is slated to open for Franz Ferdinand at the Newport Music Hall Oct. 16. of the job once she is done for the day. Being Frankie Rose the musician, though, is a full-time job. “It’s equally a job as much as it is being a teacher. I work probably 60 hours a week, I’m sure. It’s not always just making music. There are so many sides to it that (are) not even creative at all,” Rose said. “It’s a lot of work, but I wouldn’t trade it.” Times like these, when it’s easy to feel washed out, Rose said she thinks of her favorite musicians, who have produced many albums in their musical career. “I’m not going to stop because it’s not just a hobby,” Rose said. General admission tickets for the show are available for sale from Ticketmaster for $36.35 each.


[ a+e ] COMMENTARY

Zombies challenge students in wall climbing competition NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu The walking dead can now climb. “The difficulty of the advanced course is about 5.10b.” After competing in the Outdoor Adventure Center’s Zombie Climbing Competition in honor of AMC’s season four premiere of “The Walking Dead,” I still don’t really know what that means, except that it’s extremely hard. The OAC set up a zombie-themed party, complete with two of their own employees dangling on the climbing wall as zombies attacking anyone who dared to try and make it to the top. As if that wasn’t intimidating enough, the first question I was asked when I walked in was, “Do you need your own gear?” Excuse me? There are people here who climb enough to have their own gear? The last time I climbed was two years ago at summer camp and nobody had their own equipment — and we certainly didn’t have a fancy rating system for difficulty. Obviously, I was out of my element, but that didn’t stop me from choosing the advanced course over the beginner course. Come on, would Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) from “The Walking Dead” choose the beginner course? The fact that I would have to later admit to the entire student body in a newspaper article that I chose the beginner course may have also played a role in my choice of the advanced course. As I waited in line, watching my fellow competitors climb and try to avoid the zombies, I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I have incredible athletic ability (they don’t let just anyone be the manager of the high school soccer team, you know, and stirring all that Gatorade built a lot of muscle), but on the other hand, there were people who actually climb on a regular basis here, and they were my competition. From the ground, the ARC employees who were acting as the zombies seemed pretty lazy — like walkers who just got a full meal — but things changed when I got up there (yes, despite my fears, I did make it more than 10 feet up). Suddenly, the lazy, dangling, zombies were getting in the way, letting out creepy zombie moans, and even taunting me — and later directing taunts at my mother.

Guide to College Fashion

Combat, riding boots among top picks for fall BREANNA SOROKA Senior Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu There’s nothing I enjoy more than walking along the sidewalk on a crisp autumn day and hearing the dry, fallen leaves crunching beneath my feet. I’ve found that the only proper shoes for this are in the boot family — there’s just something amazing about stomping around outside in clunky footwear that makes you feel like a warrior preparing for battle. Read on for my top picks of boot styles to hunt down this season.

NICK ROLL / Lantern reporter

OSU students Amit Raghuvanshi (bottom left) and Krista Bryson (top right) race past zombies on the climbing wall for the Outdoor Adventure Center’s Zombie Climbing Competition Oct. 13. The first time they attacked, it seemed like they came out of nowhere, as I was focused on somehow stretching my 5-foot-6-inch frame far enough to grab a handhold, and I may have let out an embarrassing scream, to the amusement of the rest of the workers and climbers. Eventually, though, the zombies warmed up to me and gave me a few hints on where to go, as I frantically tried to find another handhold. Although I never made it to the top of the wall, I gave it my all, and there was plenty of free food at the end to help me cope with my loss. I wasn’t the only one who had a good time, though, as all the workers — who went all out with zombie makeup — and most of the climbers who already finished stuck around to watch more people attempt to make it up the wall and past the zombies, and later the season four premiere of “The Walking Dead” at the OAC. The climbers with the fastest times were given prizes, including T-shirts and different seasons of “The Walking Dead” on DVD.

Riding boots Though I often hear snarky comments regarding the fact that these boots are worn by people who have never, in fact, participated in any sort of equestrian-related activity, that doesn’t diminish their style quality one bit. These boots are available in all sorts of neutral colors, but look especially fantastic in a dark chestnut with a low heel and adorning buckles. These boots can easily bring the slouchiest outfit into more fashionable territory. I always find myself pairing them with my favorite leggings, a big comfy sweatshirt and knit scarf. Motorcycle boots Yet another style of boot where the actual utility of the shoe is not realized, these are as heavy and clunky as it gets. Even if you’ve never rode a motorcycle, much less ridden one, these boots are a great option if you’re hoping to toughen up your look. Add a black pair to dark jeans and a leather jacket and you’re pulling off some true style, circa James Dean in “Rebel Without a Cause.” These boots are also excellent for when the temperature drops lower — they’re often thick and insulated, meaning you won’t have to wear five pairs of socks to defend against potential frostbite. Ankle booties I consider these to be the high fashion footwear of boots, especially when they have a stiletto heel attached. They are the perfect shoes to dress up with for fall — you need never have frozen toes when you go out again. Simply tuck in your stovepipe jeans or wear over your tights and you’re all set. If you’d rather not totter

Combat boots complement almost every outfit, adding a utilitarian feel to whatever you’re wearing. around in sky-high heels, flat ankle booties can be just as stylish. They add a more casual vibe to an outfit, though, so compensating with dressier clothing or more accessories will likely be necessary. Combat boots This is my personal favorite style of boot, and there is almost no outfit that these shoes don’t complement perfectly. These shoes add a lovely utilitarian feel to whatever it is you’re wearing. Do you love mixing up tough and feminine elements? Add combat boots to leggings and a soft, flowing top. Are you into military-inspired looks? Pair the shoes with an olive utility jacket and you’re all set. I recommend stocking up in various colors and styles so they don’t get too stale — there’s nothing wrong with having a black pair that folds down as well as a beige set covered in studs and spikes. The more variety, the better. There’s no need for you to stick to one pair of boots this fall when there are plenty of options to choose from and invest in. You can easily keep yourself from wearing the same variation of an outfit day after day by switching up essential footwear.

With the first six games and first bye week of the 2013 season in the books, Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer is unsure how to grade his team, despite its undefeated record. “Where are we? I don’t know,” Meyer said Monday. “We are 6-0 and doing the best we can to get first downs and stop people. And I can feel, sometimes, pressure mounting on players when you (have a win) streak … And it’s my job, as a coach, and our coaching staff is it’s all about today.” Despite not being able to judge the exact status of his team, Meyer said he believes the Buckeyes stack up well with the other top-ranked schools across the country. “We are right there. I think we are a good team, I do,” Meyer said. “I think we are not as explosive as some of these teams … That’s something I want to be. If I had to grade us, we are not explosive from first to fourth quarter.” Meyer’s coaching career record stands at 34-2 for games in which his team has had more than one week to prepare for an opponent (including season openers, bowl games and games following bye weeks), which is something he credits to his coaching staff. “I’ve been very blessed to have really good assistant coaches, and I think we manage it well,” Meyer said. “I think that’s where my strength coach is very involved, or where I

Buckeye offense given high marks after 6 wins Daniel Rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Halfway through the season, the Buckeyes are already bowl eligible (6-0, 2-0). As the team gets ready for the stretch run, here are the grades for each offensive unit through six games.

Quarterbacks: B It’s hard to argue against giving the Buckeyes a good grade at quarterback after six games when one of them is breaking Ohio State football records. Redshirt-senior Kenny Guiton wrote his name in the record book on two separate occasions, tossing six touchdown passes against Florida A&M Sept. 21 in addition to a 90-yard scoring strike to junior wide receiver Devin Smith at California Sept. 14. His play, coupled with junior Braxton Miller (when healthy) has been impressive at times but not consistent enough for an OSU team that is hoping to win a national championship. Up to this point, Guition has been the better player, throwing at least one touchdown in each of the four games in which he’s played, including 10 total against Cal and FAMU, but Miller’s play has been disappointing. After his return from an MCL sprain he suffered against San Diego State Sept. 7, Miller had a big game against Wisconsin but struggled on the road against Northwestern. If the Buckeyes want to challenge teams like Alabama or Oregon for the crown, they will need to see more of the Miller who played against Wisconsin than the one who showed up in Evanston, Ill.

Running backs: A So far this season, OSU is No. 11 in the nation in rushing, and has four running backs with more than 100 yards. It seems that no matter who is lined up

both averaging more than nine yards a carry, the Buckeyes are succeeding in moving the ball on the ground.

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design behind Miller or Guiton, the Buckeyes are going to rack up yards on the ground. To start the season, it was redshirt-senior Jordan Hall, who through three games rushed for 402 yards and six touchdowns, and now it is senior Carlos Hyde, taking over the role as the feature back for OSU. Since returning from a three-game suspension stemming from an incident at a Columbus bar in July, Hyde has led the team in carries, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. His performance against Northwestern carried the Buckeyes to the victory, as he ran the ball 26 times for 168 yards and three touchdowns. Even with freshmen Ezekiel Elliott and Dontre Wilson,

To quote former Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, the Buckeye wide receivers “are who we thought they were.” With the exception of redshirtsenior Chris Fields’ opportune four touchdowns on just seven catches, there have been little surprises from the OSU receiving corps. Junior Devin Smith has been a vertical threat, senior Corey “Philly” Brown has been good but inconsistent and junior Evan Spencer has recorded at least a catch in every game, but hasn’t had a big week yet. Although they have been serviceable enough up to this point to help OSU achieve its undefeated record so far, someone needs to take that next step up to help the quarterbacks. Junior Jeff Heuerman has been a surprise as a receiver at the tight end position, ranking fifth on the team in receptions and yards but can’t be counted on to produce on a week-to-week basis.

Offensive line: A The Buckeyes sport a veteran starting offensive line this season, and it has shown so far through six games. Although the running backs have a lot to do with the Buckeyes averaging more than 268 yards per game on the ground, the big uglies are a playing a huge part of getting the run game going. Opposing defenses only have 28 tackles for loss and eight sacks against redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley and company. If the Buckeyes can continue to win the battle in the trenches, their offense should keep clicking as they continue their quest to an undefeated season and a potential trip to Pasadena, Calif. for the National Championship game.

Men’s hockey looks to bounce back against BG Daniel Fyffe Lantern reporter fyffe.22@osu.edu Coming off the wrong side of a two-game sweep at the hands of Miami (Ohio) this weekend, the Ohio State men’s ice hockey team is looking to bounce back as it travels to Bowling Green State University for a one-game bout. Despite giving up a combined 12 goals in their two losses against the Redhawks in coach Steve Rohlik’s first series at the helm of the team, the Buckeyes (0-2-0) are optimistic about their matchup with the Falcons (0-1-1). Junior forward Max McCormick said Bowling Green and OSU are “hard-nosed teams,” so the game is going to be a battle. “We didn’t let (being swept by Miami) get us down,” McCormick said. “We’re getting better every day and that’s our mindset, so we’re staying positive and we’re going into Bowling Green to get a win.” Despite the positive attitude, senior forward Alex Szczechura said playing away from Columbus will pose a challenge the team must overcome. “They’ve always been a hardworking team,” Szczechura said. “In their home rink, they’re a tough team to play. So coming into (Tuesday’s)

practice and we brushed up on some things in the power play.” OSU is 12-1-3 against the Falcons in the teams’ last 16 meetings. The Buckeyes are slated to take on the Falcons Tuesday in Bowling Green, Ohio with the puck set to drop at 7:07 p.m.

sports COMMENTARY

New York Giants’ rough start hard to watch for lifelong fans CHELSEA SAVAGE Senior Lantern reporter savage.168@osu.edu Twelve dollars. That’s all I spent on a New York Giants football sweatshirt that I’m truthfully too scared to wear at the risk of being ridiculed. It’s hard enough being a fan of a football team in a different state, but it’s even harder when that team has yet to win one of its six games this season. I was born and raised in New Jersey, so being a New York Giants fan is all I’ve ever known. I was taught that the Giants are the best and that I’m supposed to hate the Philadelphia Eagles … which I do. Being a fan of the G-men has never been a problem until this season. Coach Tom Coughlin is 67 and is in his 10th year coaching the team. He’s one of the oldest NFL coaches ever, but after earning a pair of Super Bowl rings for the Giants, it doesn’t appear he’ll be going away anytime soon. The Giants have won two Super Bowls in the last six years (2008 and 2012). With a history like that, you would think that they would be a team to fear. This year, not so much. They’ve had their worst start to a season since 1976 and quarterback Eli Manning has had arguably the worst season of his career, currently leading the league in interceptions with 15. Ouch. That’s gotta

be rough while his big brother Peyton and the Broncos are having an awesome season, winning their first six games and leading the league in total offense, passing yards and points scored. Since I’m a fan of Ohio State football as well, I can’t imagine how current Giant players, former Buckeyes Jonathan Hankins and Jim Cordle feel right now. Playing on the OSU football team has spoiled them into not really knowing what a losing consistently feels like. In Cordle’s five years at OSU (he redshirted in 2005), the team was a combined 54-10, and in Hankins’ three years, the Buckeyes were 30-8, including the 12 vacated wins in 2010. My goal is not to bash the team I’ve grown up watching, it’s to share a little bit of my disappointment OSU fans might not understand. This is the first time my friends who are Cleveland Browns (3-3) fans are laughing at me. In my mind, this season is over for the Giants. Will I still watch the games? Yes. Will I still have hope that they can win a game? Of course. Will I wear that $12 sweatshirt anytime soon? To be determined. But I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to come anywhere close to the playoffs at this point, so my heart is a little broken for them.

OSU from 6A always seek guidance on how our team is doing. I think we are just very careful with how we manage everything.” Meyer said he gave the players the weekend off to rest in hopes of having them all come back at full strength in preparation for the game against the Iowa Hawkeyes. One of the players needing the break is redshirt-senior running back Jordan Hall, who missed OSU’s 40-30 win at Northwestern due to what Meyer called a “tweaked knee.” Hall is set to practice this week, though, Meyer said. Running backs coach Stan Drayton said getting a bye was a “bonus” for Hall. “He made some progress on that knee, and just not enough for his comfort level to get out there and play against Northwestern,” Drayton said. “He’s feeling much better right now, and we have plans for him to practice this week.” Another player returning to the fold this week is sophomore defensive lineman Tommy Schutt, who Meyer said “is a go” for Saturday’s game against Iowa after missing six weeks with a broken foot. Junior defensive lineman Joel Hale said the entire D-line will be happy to have him back. “It’ll be good to fit him into the rotation,” Hale said. “Get some breaks for some guys like (junior defensive lineman) Mike Bennett. Get him in, get him moving and we’ll see how it works.” OSU ran for 248 yards in the win over the Wildcats, but faces a stiff test this week against the Iowa defense, which ranks eighth nationally allowing an average of 88.5 rushing yards per game. Drayton said the offense as a whole takes that as a challenge, but that stat does not change OSU’s game plan. “To sit there and say that we are going to go into this football game and not run the ball because Iowa is pretty good at (defending it) is not real,” Drayton said. “We are going to run the football, and

we are going to trust our offensive line to get engaged. We are going to trust our running backs to play through contact. We’ll win some and we’ll lose some. We just have to maintain patience in that phase of the offensive scheme.” A player who figures largely into the running game is senior running back Carlos Hyde, who ran for 168 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries against Northwestern. That production earned Hyde Big Ten co-offensive player of the week honors, which is a far cry from what Hyde was doing the first three weeks of the season — practicing with the scout team while he served a three-game suspension for his involvement in an incident at a Columbus bar in July. “I wish I can raise every back that way. I wish I could send every back down to the scout team for a few weeks,” Drayton said. “I think mentally, it was an unbelievable advantage for him, because No. 1, being a starting tailback a year ago and having to play a backup role and a service role to this football team on the scout team made him hungry, made him extremely hungry. It made him not take for granted the opportunities that he has in front of him.” Drayton said he does not believe the offense as a whole has “clicked on all cylinders just yet.” Senior wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown agreed. “We can get a lot better. You can never reach your peak, especially at this level,” Brown said. “We still make a lot of mistakes and we see it on film and leave a lot of points on the field. Even last game I feel like we could have scored better in the red zone.” Even with leaving those points on the field, Brown said the unit is “headed in a good direction.” “If we keep working every day in practice and keep getting better and taking this game-by-game, I think that by the end of the year, it will be a ridiculous offense,” Brown said. The Buckeyes are scheduled to take on Iowa at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
