Curl Drive, located on North Campus, closed Oct. 11 as part of the North Residential District Transformation.

Although a road which provided access to multiple North Campus residence halls closed permanently Friday, Ohio State Administration and Planning officials do not yet have a plan for how to accommodate the transportation needs for the students, faculty and staff affected.

When the plan is finished being developed, it will illustrate how to access dorms located on Curl Drive around the time of Thanksgiving and winter break, Administration and Planning spokeswoman Alison Hinkle said in an email.

“As soon as details are finalized we will communicate the plan,” Hinkle said. “We will make sure the plans are communicated with plenty of advance notice prior to the break. Maintaining access to the area during and after the construction is a priority, and stakeholder needs have been a major part of the planning discussion.”

Curl Drive, which connects Neil and Woodruff avenues, was closed as part of the beginning stages of the North Residential District Transformation.

The North Residential District Transformation is a $370 million renovation to North Campus that aims to enhance OSU’s Second-Year Transformational Experience by adding 3,200 additional student beds through the construction of 11 new buildings, set to be completed in Fall 2016.

STEP 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.

A bipartisan town hall meeting to address voting issues in Ohio was held at the Ohio Union Tuesday.

Panelists, including former Ohio governors, secretaries of state, U.S. representatives and a Yale University law professor, focused on dispelling partisanship and encouraging young people to take part in the political process.

During the event, Victoria Kennedy, co-founder of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which aims to incite public discourse and encourage participation in democracy, said it is imperative for the government to keep young people involved in the political process.

“It’s young people who are going to lead the way and get us out of this mess. Young people who are going to change the dialogue, run for office and show us the way to heal,” she said.

Former Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland echoed her sentiment and emphasized the importance of students working to become citizens of the world.

“If (students) see those opportunities to have that kind of engagement, it will lead them to vote and be actively engaged in the political process,” he said in an interview with BuckeyeTV after the event.

Some Ohio State students attended the event in person or followed along using social media sites such as Twitter. People had the opportunity to tweet at panelists with questions, but the discussion made some students want to go beyond the 140 characters.

“As a student, as a young person, I want to see as many people as possible registered and involved in the political process (as possible),” said

The town hall event, jointly held by OSU and USA Today, was held the same day a USA TODAY article about a USA Today/Bipartisan Policy Center Poll in which the majority of Americans said they support lessening extreme partisanship was published.

Panelists used the town hall platform to talk to Ohioans in attendance about problems plaguing the swing state specifically, including voter ID fraud and voter access.

Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp said during the event’s intermission that students have been experiencing some of these

issues firsthand as a committee of students has worked to register voters in support of the Columbus City Schools levy, which aims to increase city school funding to provide more resources for students.

“These are all huge issues for college students so it’s really great that we’re having this discussion here at Ohio State,” Stepp said.

Strickland said, though, the changes that could be made on a state or national level, however, remain yet to be decided upon.

“We talked about a lot of difficult issues today.

I’m not sure we came up with any specific answers to these large problems, but I think it’s important to have this kind of dialogue,” Strickland said after the event.

NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu Anat Berko spoke about her research on suicide bombers, and more specifically about their use of women and children in terrorist plots in the Middle East, at Ohio State’s Hillel Center.

The Tuesday night event was sponsored by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, a media monitoring organization against anti-Israeli prejudice in reporting.

Berko, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Israeli military, holds a Ph.D. in criminology from Bar-Ilan University in Israel and conducted her research by speaking one-on-one with jailed Palestinian terrorists in Israel.

Women are convinced to become suicide bombers for extremist groups such as Hamas for a variety of reasons, Berko said in her speech.

In conservative Islamic states, a woman who has or is rumored to have had sexual relations before marriage can bring shame to her entire family. Terrorists will approach these women, promising them that becoming a suicide bomber is a way to bring honor back to their family, Berko said.

These “dispatchers,” as Berko referred to them, have different intentions though.

“Women can get through security easier.

They are just being used because they won’t be searched,” Berko said.

Women can get through security easier. They are just being used because they won’t be searched.

Anat Berko Researcher with a Ph.D. in criminology from Bar-Ilan University in Israel

She showed two short films during the event that documented two young girls who survived attempts by terrorists to force them into suicide bombing.

The first film was about a 15-year-old Afghan girl who talked about how her husband’s cousin strapped a bomb around her and drugged her in an effort to send her out to kill civilians. The bomb didn’t go off properly, however, and she survived.

The second video shared the story of a younger girl who was drugged and kidnapped on her way home from school. The captors gave her a vest and told her to stand by military personnel, but she was able to take off the vest and run away.

Berko said women who are convinced or forced into suicide bombings are often sexually exploited by their dispatchers, adding that the terrorists tell the girls they will be virgins again in paradise when they die.

The exploitation of children and women in

terrorist acts has led to an outcry by families in war-torn areas of the Middle East, especially when the children of higher-up members of terrorist organizations are generally able to send their children to school and keep them safe.

“When I interviewed Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, founder of Hamas, in 1996, he said he would never send (a) child as a suicide bomber. Yet it is happening, it happens every day, but nobody speaks about it, not enough anyway,” Berko said in an interview with The Lantern after her lecture.

Carly Weintraub, a third-year in early childhood education who is actively involved with Hillel, said she came away with a new perspective.

“For me, (the event) was really eye-opening. I went to Israel with Hillel over the summer, and we heard about suicide bombings, but never heard about women and children,” Weintraub said.

Jacob Tepper, a third-year in strategic communication, said he was also glad he attended the event.

“The speaker was very compelling, and she offered a unique perspective on something very much non-mainstream and was able to put such a sensitive and political topic in layman’s terms,” he said.

Ila Rabinowitz, a fourth-year in marketing, said she enjoyed hearing from an expert.

“The presentation was fascinating, and the speaker was incredibly knowledgeable,” she said.

campus $1M grant to OSU, Penn State to aid medical implant research JUSTIN CLINE Lantern reporter cline.322@osu.edu

Prosthetic Portion Implant Portion

A $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation is helping fund a collaboration between Ohio State and Pennsylvania State University researchers as they compile a national database of titanium alloys. The grant is part of the National Science Foundation’s Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future program, said Ji-Cheng Zhao, professor of materials science engineering and the project’s leader. The money will help support Zhao and two graduate students at OSU for three years as they conduct research and experiments.

The goal of the database is to provide the medical field with different compositions for titanium alloys that can be used most notably in medical implants, Zhao said. With research, experimentation and simulation testing, the project will help expedite the production of these materials.

“What we want to do is use these computational tools and experimental tools to build a very reliable database so that we can help design those types of titanium alloys for bones,” Zhao said.

The composites are created with the use of six different elements — titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, niobium, tin and zirconium, he said.

“We are only choosing six different elements in the periodic table because those elements

What Goes Into Dental Implants • Implants are created with the use of six different elements— titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, niobium, tin and zirconium • The implant portion becomes the root that goes down into the bone and the prosthetic portion acts as a tooth • Dental implants currently have a 97-98 percent success rate leaving 2 to 3 percent that have problems Source: reporting don’t have an allergic reaction with human tissue ,” Zhao said.

Implants of this type are used throughout the medical field, including in dentistry. OSU’s Dr. Edwin McGlumphy, professor of restorative and prosthetic dentistry, said titanium, tantalum and zirconium implants are currently used for two-part dental implants.

“The implant portion becomes the root that goes down in the bone, and then the prosthetic portion that looks like a tooth, acts like a tooth and chews like a tooth goes on top of the titanium alloy that’s in the bone,” McGlumphy said.

By using a process called diffusion multiple,

researchers can explore the microstructure of different alloys created and determine the stability and rigidity of each, Zhao said. Diffusion multiple is a way of producing alloy samples quickly.

“We put a bunch of different elements together and heat them up to a high temperature, and the atoms will jump,” he said, “This atom jump creates a composition, or gradient, in the sample.”

With this method, each sample produces a large amount of gradients. By letting metals diffuse in this manner the researchers can observe each composition’s properties.

The researchers at OSU are in charge of the

experimental process, while Penn State is providing computer simulations, Zhao said.

Zi-Kui Liu, professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State, is helping to predict properties based on initial calculations. This includes, “computational modeling using data from first-principle calculations and experiments,” Liu said in an email.

The alloys developed will be a better match with human bones and allow for better elastic properties, he said.

The three-year research program is still in its infantile stages . After only one month into the program, Zhao said he’s confident the team will have a database built up by the third year.

“We’re going to deposit all the data into the national materials database. If we find some new compositions, we have a facility here at Ohio State that will be able to make it and test the modulus,” Zhao said.

Doctors will be able to extract information from this collection in order to produce implants with optimal strength and elasticity for human bone replacement, Zhao said.

There is about a 97 to 98 percent success rate with current dental implants, McGlumphy said, “but that still leaves two or three out of 100 that have problems, and we’d like to eliminate those.”

Students disagree over regulations for bikers on campus BRIAN DOAK Lantern reporter doak.22@osu.edu With at least 10 construction sites under way at Ohio State and other various no bike zones in place, some students who bike around campus are realizing what their limitations are.

The Oval and South Oval were named walk zones in April, meaning bikers and skateboarders are required to dismount in those areas.

Some students said enforcing a dismount zone is too broad of a goal.

Chris Watkins, a fourth-year in landscape architecture, said bike safety could be encouraged in a different way, one that restricts bikers less.

“It’s dumb,” said Watkins, who rides his bike on campus. “I understand they want biking on the street, but for the Oval, that’s not feasible. They should accommodate it for bikes instead of just saying ‘no.’”

Genevieve Simon, a fourth-year in theater, said she’s discouraged with the inconsistency of bike routes on campus.

“It is harder (to bike) in some ways. Sometimes things are blocked without notice. I only bike on the street, I feel safer around cars than I do with people,” she said. “I’m frustrated with how inconsistent the Oval is — they’re attacking one group of people (bikers) when there are groups of people (walking) with headphones that aren’t always looking.”

Steven Platko, a third-year in neuroscience, said he rides his bike through the Oval despite the dismount zone rule.

“It (the bike-free zone) is kind of easy to avoid,” he said.

Platko added having rules where bikes must stay off sidewalks ends up slowing down traffic.

“Treating a bike like a car does not work,” he said.

James Balata, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, said as a pedestrian, he doesn’t think bikers should be allowed to ride on the sidewalks.

“I don’t feel safe with bikers weaving in and out in front of me,” Balata said.

He also said the dismount zone is effective in its safety message.

“I do feel safer crossing campus,” Balata said. “I believe it’s fine sharing the road, but bikers have to follow the rules of the road … We should be stricter when bikers are not following the rules.”

Simon, though, was critical of the bike-free zone policies.

“It’s a hard policy to enforce,” Simon said. “I know they want to educate, but instead of educating some (of the bikers), they should educate all.”

Some students are unclear about the rules of the road altogether. Brandon Brush, a first-year in mechanical engineering, said he is unsure whether the sidewalks and streets are off-limits to bike riders because many people still use them.

“I’m a little confused if we’re supposed to use the sidewalk,” Brush said. “I see the signs saying not to ride on the sidewalk, but most people still do.”

In an effort to increase safety and reduce the amount of accidents on campus, Ohio State created the Share the Road campaign and a task force last year.

OSU created the Traffic Safety Task Force in September 2012 after three traffic incidents on or adjacent to campus left OSU students with major injuries.

It is not only the bicyclists who have to be cautious when travelling in and around campus, but also everyone they come into contact with, said Lindsay Komlanc, OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning.

“Traffic safety requires participation from all modes of transportation – pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists,” Komlanc said. “That’s why the university’s Share the Road campaign addresses all modes of transportation.”

The Share the Road campaign is also responsible for the signs around the sidewalks and roads on campus, which designate the site as a bike-free zone.

Bike Rules That Apply To Riding On Campus Bikes are required to follow the same rules of the road as cars:

• • • • •

Riding the correct direction down one-way streets Riding on the right side of the road No riding through the Oval Yielding to pedestrians Stopping at stop signs

Paul Spurlock, a Messer Construction worker, helps renovate the North Campus area. Because of this construction, Curl Drive, located on North Campus, has closed.

Curl from 1A “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 Adams-Gaston 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, AdamsGaston said.

The closing of Curl Drive is an effort to eventually provide increased activity space and a more pedestrian-friendly environment once the transformation is complete, Hinkle said.

Fences were scheduled to be erected around various construction sites throughout the North Campus area Oct. 1 and the walking paths for pedestrians are set to be permanently altered, according to the campus construction map, changes that Hinkle said will be communicated to those in the area.

“Signage will be added throughout the area to clearly mark the alternative paths,” Hinkle said.

“Pedestrians should stay within the alternative walking paths and always remember to stop, look and listen when near construction zones.”

Disability parking and bike racks were also relocated last week in preparation for the renovations, according to the North Residential District project updates website.

Some students are worried the closing of Curl Drive — which is the street address for Taylor Tower,

Jones Tower, Barrett House, Drackett Tower and Houck House — will cause problems when they want to leave campus.

Mark Erdelac, a second-year in chemical engineering and Taylor Tower resident, said he foresees traffic problems around the North Campus area come Thanksgiving and winter break.

“It’s definitely going to be a problem because there are so many people that live right here (on Curl Drive) and everyone is going to try to go home at the same time, so I’m just not sure how exactly they’re going to get all of the cars in and out of here without a line,” Erdelac said.

Kiba Richardson, a first-year in chemical engineering and Taylor Tower resident, said she is leery about Curl Drive closing because of the potential traffic problems.

“It’s going to be crazy, I’m sure,” Richardson said. “I’m kind of confused as to what’s going to happen.”

Richardson said she hopes to receive an official plan from OSU about how to access the dorms on Curl Drive soon because she had trouble getting to her parents’ car over the weekend when they picked her up for a trip home.

“I went home this weekend for the first time and I had to drag my suitcase three blocks,” Richardson said.

She said if it hadn’t been closed, her parents would have used Curl Drive to pick her up, and said she’ll be waiting to see how university officials plan to provide access to North Campus residence halls in the future.

studentvoice Former OSU player Jared Sullinger needs to turn NBA career around sports Columnist

Former Ohio State basketball star Jared Sullinger has had a less than easy transition into the NBA, personally, physically and mentally.

Sullinger appeared in just 45 games meghan Wallis in his rookie wallis.36@osu.edu season as a forward for the Boston Celtics, averaging just 19.8 minutes a game.

A back injury kept the former two-time AP All-American from meeting his full potential.

Sullinger underwent surgery to repair a lumbar disk in February, which sidelined him for the remainder of the 2012-13 season.

At a Sept. 30 press conference, before the start of training camp, Sullinger told reporters that his back is “not close” to game fit and he wasn’t sure whether he would be available for the start of the regular season. Sullinger told the media, “I got a lot of work to do. And only training camp can help that.”

The next day, Sullinger brushed off the situation, saying that his back was 100 percent healthy. He clarified, telling reporters that from his point of view he didn’t feel close to game fit. He seems to be proving himself wrong. The Celtics have played four preseason games and Sullinger is averaging 12.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Though, Sullinger still relents that he isn’t where he feels he should be fitness

wise. Having not touched a ball for six months, his fitness level will rise with time.

On top of his injury, Sullinger was arrested in September.

Sullinger appeared in Waltham District Courthouse for the second time Sept. 23, facing charges of assault and battery, intimidation of a witness and destruction of personal property, stemming from a confrontation with his thengirlfriend, Deann Smith Aug. 31. Prosecutors plan to pursue domestic assault charges on the 21-year-old, even though Smith has dropped all charges. Sullinger will return for a second pretrial hearing Oct. 28.

The Columbus native pled not guilty to all charges after he turned himself in but took full responsibility for his actions and said “the experience was humbling and embarrassing” for him.

If the former Buckeye great doesn’t turn things around quickly, he could very easily become another in the long line of OSU big men who flare out in the NBA. That will take a big time change, though, in his life.

Since being selected 21st overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, Sullinger hasn’t been given the opportunity to prove himself, and his sophomore season could be that chance.

Boston is rebuilding after losing coach Doc Rivers and forwards Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the offseason. If he is able to stay healthy and realize his full potential, this year could be the time for him to step up and show the NBA what he is all about.

He still has a long way to go, including resolving his off-the-court issues and making sure he’s no longer in the news for the wrong reasons. But, if he is able to make these changes, he could make a comeback.

Kind touch of human interaction lost with technology managing editor, content

In a digital age where getting in touch with our friends only takes a few taps on a keyboard, we’re still managing to lose touch with the people around us every day.

We are guilty of avoiding eye contact with friends and strangers alike and feigning deafness when shop caitlin essig and restaurant owners essig.21@osu.edu ask how we’re doing.

We lose the skills of conversation by becoming dependent on texting and friendships fall through in the shuffle of missed or ignored messages.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. The world could be more like the bank.

The bank is one of my favorite places in the world. It always has been, and it’s not because I’m some kind of money-loving Scrooge. I love the bank because it’s one of the few places where the employees always seem to be in a good mood.

When I was younger, the bank was the mysterious place with the big, locked silver door that I would get to go through when one of my parents brought me along to open their safety deposit box. It was the place with an endless supply of lollipops — a much better alternative to the other place with such a supply, the family doctor.

As I grew older and began going to the bank alone, the first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was to me.

I couldn’t make a five minute stop at the bank without at least three people telling me to have a good day, asking if I needed help or at least offering me a warm smile. When a teller paid me an unsolicited compliment, my entire day was brighter as a result and the act stuck with me, clearly.

Courtesy of MCT

At a Meijer in Royal Oak, Mich., a checkout machine keeps up with a shopper’s purchases as they are scanned.

But the decline of this human interaction I value so greatly is far-reaching and disappointing.

One day, I walked into the local branch of my bank to find the tellers had been replaced by machines. A manager still greeted me, but swiftly directed me to “try the new way to bank,” rather than deposit my check with a real, live human.

Don’t get me wrong ­— self serve options are convenient.

I can create my own dessert concoction at a selection of frozen yogurt shops, scan and bag my own modest grocery load in mere minutes and have $20 cash in my hand after punching a few buttons on an ATM. But where’s the human touch? Where’s the conversation, the niceties, the brief shared moments between strangers that can determine the course of a day?

Sometimes the most common niceties can come as a shock, but as someone who has been pegged as a Midwesterner in Washington, D.C., for asking a store greeter how they were doing — the simple gesture was that rare there, I was told — I’m proud to offer a friendly response to the people I interact with in a day.

With the concurrent rise in ways to communicate with someone electronically and decline in daily face-to-face conversations, I find it hard to believe these “convenient” advances are actually positive for society. In fact, part of me worries my generation will be the last to be able to hold a conversation, make eye contact and truly listen when someone is talking to them, because we’re the last generation that had to bother.

While widely disputed and misattributed, the simple phrase, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle,” rings a truth that should be heard around the world.

As you never know what kind of impact you’re capable of having on a stranger, no matter how insignificant your interaction may seem, focus on being friendly and making a good impression to everyone you meet.

At the same time, hold dearly the chances to have real, meaningful interactions with people. There lies an invaluable skill that could easily be lost.

Govt shutdown casts a shadow on bipartisan campus event wes burden For The Lantern burden.52@osu.edu When examining the divisiveness of politics, John Maynard Keynes once said, “When the final result is expected to be a compromise, it is often prudent to start from an extreme position.”

Although his premise seems plausible, the only problem facing American politics in the 21st century is that members of both the Republican and Democratic parties seem unable, or unwilling, to move away from such positions.

Ohio State hosted the Bipartisan Policy Center’s town hall meeting Tuesday, aptly titled, “National Conversations on American Unity.” A wide range of informative discussion was held on many topics such as gerrymandering, voter ID laws, voter turnout and independents voting during primary season. The BPC Commission on Political Reform was created to understand the causes of America’s partisan political divide and to help America achieve shared national goals.

Good luck with that.

Granted I am a member of Generation Y and do not have as much political experience as most people older than myself. But from what I have witnessed thus far, the government shutdown being the latest example, I am already fed up with the silliness of combative politics from both sides of the aisle.

Our political culture in today’s world has created an environment unsustainable to our future, but is also unable to resolve any real issues that could possibly face our nation’s government.

Our lawmakers should be focused on making sure

Americans across the country are taken care of as opposed to denying the need of discussion and by guiding our nation’s sustainability toward a cliff we can no longer afford to fall over.

Let us though not confuse being bipartisan with the basic values and ideologies that send people to Congress in the first place. Those who are elected to serve our fellow citizens are not expected to always compromise their beliefs in order to satisfy the rewarding gratification which follows with reaching across the aisle and working with opposing legislatures. We have always been a nation founded upon a differing set of ideas which allow for the building of a foundation of dialogue created to sustain or enhance the beauty of our democracy.

We are at a moment in time where the political discourse across our country has no range, or has been divided amongst specific geographies that add to the gridlock of partisanship within our Congress. Those same people we send to represent our needs or wants for this country are those who have the propensity to act on such irrational notions and to completely ignore the opposite side in order to ensure votes in an upcoming election or to delay amendments from being passed.

The debate isn’t whether there should be a bipartisan dialogue created amongst Republicans and Democrats. It is essential to be able to create and begin constructive conversations that allow both sides to work together to It’s not safe to always be bipartisan, but it’s even more dangerous to be polarized and partisan all the time.

Although visually appealing, ‘Avatar’ not worth theme park Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu Remember “Avatar?” That one film about giant blue aliens?

The film that everyone thought was going to win Best Picture at the Oscars in 2010, but instead lost to director James Cameron’s ex-wife’s film?

Yeah, me neither.

Disney unveiled a first look at artist renderings of its “Avatar” themed section at the Animal Kingdom park, one of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday.

Tom Staggs, chairman to Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, made the announcement on the Disney Parks blog. Staggs wrote the park was designed in partnership with Cameron, as well as Lightstorm Entertainment, the film production company Cameron founded, which worked on “Avatar,” as well as other Cameron films such as “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” and “Titanic.”

“Our combined team has taken huge steps forward in ‘imagineering’ Pandora as a real place for our guests to see, hear and touch,” Staggs wrote.

That’s right. You too can experience the life of “Avatar’s” city of Pandora and its natives, the Na’vi — in 2017, that is.

“Avatar” is a science-fiction, fantasy film about Jake Sully, a paraplegic Marine who, through the use of an avatar assignment machine, assumes life as a Na’vi in order to gather information on how to wipe the Na’vi out from their home to mine for materials. The film stars Sam Worthington as Sully and Zoë Saldana as Neytiri, Sully’s Na’vi lover.

The news of the themed section was released in a press conference with the Walt Disney Imagineering team in 2011.

“We believe Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a great fit for this project because it was created to give guests the opportunity to experience the worlds of animals and nature — real and mythical — in new ways,” Thomas Smith, social media director of Disney Parks, wrote in a post on the Disney Parks blog announcing the park’s plans in 2011.

If the renderings become reality, the park would be a gorgeous

Disney unveiled a first look of its ‘Avatar’ themed section at the Animal Kingdom park, one of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on the Disney Parks blog Oct. 12. and — most likely — an expensive sight, bringing in a new edge to the Animal Kingdom, which lacks the entertainment flair Disney World’s other parks have.

However, has “Avatar” been current in our pop culture since 2009? Even with future films in production, slating to release in 2016, 2017 and 2018, I feel the film isn’t established enough to design a whole theme park around it.

I get Disney is trying to pull a Universal Studios a la Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but why not instead create a “Star Wars” themed park? With the success of their Star Tours rides at both

Disney World and Disneyland and the fact that the Disney Company owns nearly everything George Lucas has built — and destroyed — Disney could have had the perfect opportunity to have their guests experience life as a Jedi. I might never get to shoot first at the Chalmun’s Cantina or have a photo opportunity where I’m Jabba the Hutt’s slave.

I guess instead of selling Princess Leia bikinis, we’ll have to settle with aboriginal alien loin cloths.

Designer starts Alternative Fashion Mob to celebrate diversity of local, independent designers Nen Lin Soo Lantern reporter soo.8@osu.edu While many of the international fashion capitals wrap up their weeks dedicated to upcoming designs and trends, one group strives to present the smaller names of couture.

In comes Alternative Fashion Mob, who is set to host the Threads & Reds Columbus Designer Trunk Show & Wine Fest Wednesday at Camelot Cellars. An accompanying fashion show is to feature the garments and designs of Kelli Martin of Anti.Label, Betsy Stevenson of Elizabeth Ashleigh Designs, Katelyn McClain, a design resident of Substance Lofts and Jacquar Jean-Jacques, a designer who recently showed at New York Fashion Week.

Visitors can also shop the designers’ samples and sip wine.

Martin, who was a contestant on Season 5 of fashion design competition show “Project Runway,” is the leading founder and designer of Alternative Fashion Mob, which is “a collection of fashion designers, industry professionals and couture enthusiasts who are dedicated to furthering the fashion industry in Columbus,” according to the group’s website. She initially started to work on a project in January that was geared toward a different kind of fashion week, also known as Alternative Fashion Week.

However, it was a few weeks into this venture that Martin and her co-founders, including Amee BellWanzo, Jeffery Speele and Rachel Murdock, decided that a fashion movement that celebrates diversity shouldn’t be confined to a week-long event.

“We really focus on a lot of different community collaborations, and that’s what we do all year round,” said BellWanzo. “We focus on Columbus’ creative class, people who enjoy expressing themselves through style. It’s definitely a lot of younger people, but it’s not just younger people. It’s people who care a lot about the community, who want to support local, and people who are artistic and appreciate creativity, and people who aren’t artists per se, but are interested in being around creativity in their community.”

BellWanzo said this alternative project wants to “grow the industry from a grassroots standpoint.”

Thomas McClure, founder and executive director of CMH Fashion Week, which derives its name from the Port Columbus International Airport code and is in its fourth consecutive year, said he supports this newborn project in the Columbus fashion scene.

He added that Alternative Fashion Mob mission aligns with the CMH Fashion Week mission in some regards.

“Our mission is a two-part mission,” McClure said. “We showcase local and emerging designers and provide scholarships to students, and Alternative Fashion Mob celebrates local designers as well.”

BellWanzo said Alternative Fashion Mob is not only about “giving local, independent designers a platform to showcase their talent,” but it is also about “engaging the rest of Columbus and appreciating our local fashion industry.”

CMH Fashion Week has a strict industry approach in their fashion shows, employing models that fit the standards that the New York fashion industry employs, in order to display

the best representation to sell their looks, McClure said. “(CMH Fashion Week) is definitely a person with means who’s going to go to their events, and that is great. That needs to be there, and that has its place,” BellWanzo said. “Fashion Mob is a group of enthusiasts. We keep our price points low so that the events are really accessible. Our goal isn’t to have a huge, sophisticated show, but we want to have events that really involve people.”

A part of the money raised by Alternative Fashion Mob’s events are donated to the Citizens For Humane Action Animal Shelter, and the rest of it goes toward saving up funds to kickstart the Columbus Fashion Incubator, which is expected to be a space where local designers will be provided with workspaces and resources in the future. BellWanzo said the Columbus Fashion Incubator is a plan that is waiting to happen farther down the road, but not anytime in the near future.

Andrea Degenhart, a fourth-year in fashion and retail studies, who was Alternative Fashion Mob’s first intern, assisted in the series of events that the movement had planned throughout the summer, including Alternative Fashion Week last June.

“When I first worked with them, I didn’t realize how much more event planning it was than fashion, but it was definitely, and still is, an awesome experience to be involved with them,” Degenhart said. “It was cool to open my mind up about that side of fashion.”

Threads & Reds is scheduled to be held 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Camelot Cellars at 958 N. High St. Columbus Alternative Fashion Week 2014 is slated for mid-April.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson best for role of Christian Grey after Charlie Hunnam drops out Stacie Jackson Lantern reporter jackson.2087@osu.edu After it was announced that the best-selling erotic romance novel, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” would be recreated as a movie, devoted fans around the world (including myself) anxiously awaited the grand reveal of who would play the iconic role of main character Christian Grey.

Our suspicions were put to rest via Twitter from “Fifty Shades of Grey” author E.L. James herself Sept. 2. Charlie Hunnam, the bulky hunk from “Sons of Anarchy,” would assume the high-profile role.

Fifty shades of chaotic reactions followed. But just as the media and fans alike began to accept the casting decision, Universal Pictures and Focus Features dropped a bombshell on us last weekend: Hunnam is out, and the role of Grey is, once again, up for grabs.

Apparently Hunnam’s demanding TV schedule did not give him enough time to adequately prepare for the role, and whether or not that is the truth really doesn’t matter.

What does matter is the Grey casting pool is open again, creating a whirlwind of emotions for those of us who have just recently come to terms with the initial decision.

Opinions are flying. Who should replace Hunnam as Christian Grey?

It would be easy to go back to some of the original rumored and fan-favored actors like Matt Bomer (“Chuck,” “White Collar”), Ryan Gosling, Channing Tatum or even Robert Pattinson.

But I think we should take a step back and consider some of the less obvious candidates. I believe we should sincerely contemplate awarding the role to a not-so-famous, fresh actor, whose performance as Grey could potentially launch them to super-stardom.

If the decision were entirely up to me, I would confidently cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the English actor who’s had some relatively major roles

Courtesy of MCT

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, left, and Chloë Grace Moretz in a scene from ‘Kick-Ass 2.’ in some relatively minor films like “Savages,” “Kick-Ass” and “Anna Karenina.”

Grey is described in the novel to be in his late 20s yet surprisingly youthful, breathtakingly beautiful and enticingly mysterious.

When Taylor-Johnson rocks his shorter, slicked-back hairstyle and his signature closed mouth, smirking smile, those big, electrifying gray eyes become hypnotizing. Just like that, we’re hooked.

Whether the 23-year-old actor could handle the raunchy love scenes

with Dakota Johnson, the actress cast to play innocent and inexperienced college student Anastasia Steele, is hardly questionable.

If you haven’t seen Taylor-Johnson’s performance in “Savages,” his steamy love scenes with co-star Blake Lively prove he isn’t afraid to reveal his chiseled body while getting down and dirty on camera, which would be absolutely required of him in “Fifty Shades.”

He also has shown us his less intense, passionately romantic side in “Anna Karenina,” in which Taylor-Johnson played Count Vronsky, a Russian military man from the 1800s who sweeps a married mother, played by Keira Knightley, off her feet to engage in a risky affair.

Beyond the lovemaking scenes, Taylor-Johnson would have to master Grey’s charming, business-savvy personality which he presents to the world, meanwhile convincing viewers Grey’s abusive childhood traumas have caused him to possess and engage in dark and erotic fantasies.

Taylor-Johnson has proved his ability to embrace his character to the fullest potential in many of his movies, most notably in my opinion, in “Savages,” in which Taylor-Johnson played Ben, a peaceful drug dealer who gets caught up with the Mexican drug cartel. We watched Taylor-Johnson’s character acutely transform from a loving, nonviolent young man to a manipulating, murdering monster, all the while convincing us he was still good at heart. His performance was magnetizing.

So, if I had the last say, I would give Taylor-Johnson the chance to explore the depths of his acting abilities that fully embracing Grey would require.

If he were to succeed, which I believe he undoubtedly would, I think the young actor would receive an undeniable invitation to the A-list.

But the decision is unfortunately not in my hands. Once again, we shall eagerly await the second announcement of Grey’s identity.

We can only hope that this decision will be absolutely final, which would finally bring us closer to witnessing how the scandalous, boundary-breaking novel comes alive on the big screen.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is scheduled to premiere in 2014.

Coaches the ‘yin and yang’ of OSU men’s soccer dan hessler Lantern reporter hessler.31@osu.edu Knowing the other’s thoughts and habits and finishing each others’ sentences are just some of the qualities assistant coach Frank Speth said are present in his relationship with coach John Bluem. The two have been coaching together longer than some of their current players have been alive.

Bluem is in his 17th year as head coach for the Ohio State men’s soccer team and Speth has been his assistant for 14 of those years. While at OSU, the two have accounted for all eight of the program’s NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the College Cup in 2007 and the Big Ten regularseason and tournament championships in 2009.

Prior to coming to OSU, Bluem was the head coach at Fresno State University, with Speth serving as assistant during his three seasons with the Bulldogs. All three seasons ended with the Bulldogs finishing in first place in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation conference, including the 1994 season, in which the Bulldogs finished the season ranked No. 3 overall.

Bluem said since they’ve known each other, their relationship has transcended their work on the field.

“I’d say we are good friends and that we do socialize off the field quite a bit,” he said. “We socialize with Cindy (Speth) and Bethany (Bluem) (their wives) and the four of us do things together. So over the last 20 years, it’s even longer that we’ve known each other because I knew Frank for about three years before he became my assistant out there, so we’ve known each other and shared a lot over the last 20, 25 years.”

Speth said he views himself and Bluem as a “yin and yang” and that such a long relationship has allowed them to be largely on the same page.

“It goes between all the years on the field and recruiting and then socially you get to know each other and you obviously develop a very good friendship,” Speth said. “Just the memories and experiences that you shared together and a lot of the same thoughts and a lot of the same philosophies, so it’s just probably the biggest thing is the friendship off the field as well.”

report card Buckeyes

Halfway through the season, the Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0) are already bowl eligible. As the team gets ready for the stretch run, here are the grades for each defensive unit, in addition to the special teams, through six games.

Linebackers: Defensive line: B+ Outside of a disappointing season opener against Buffalo Aug. 31, the Buckeyes’ defensive line has been the highlight of the defense so far this year. With 16 team sacks, 13 from defensive linemen, the Buckeyes have been putting constant pressure on opposing quarterbacks so far in 2013.

Newer contributors like sophomores Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington, and junior Joel Hale, have been vital to the defense. A real standout has been freshman Joey Bosa, who came in as a replacement for Washington when he was out with a groin injury. Bosa has recorded 16 total tackles and two sacks this season. He also recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown at Northwestern Oct. 5. Bosa was named the starter at defensive end ahead of Washington for the game against Iowa. With quarterbacks like Michigan’s Devin Gardner and Penn State’s Christian Hackenburg still on the schedule, though, the defensive line needs to keep the pressure up.

Linebackers: B If it was not for junior Ryan Shazier being everything the Buckeye linebacking corps could have asked for and more, this section of the defensive unit would be struggling to live up to coach Urban Meyer’s standards. Shazier leads the team with 47 tackles, has a sack and forced two fumbles.

The guy has been everywhere, and is well on his way to earning an All-Big Ten honor by season’s

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design end. Classmate Curtis Grant is also turning in a fine season thus far, and is second to Shazier with 36 tackles. He also has a pair of sacks, and has stepped in nicely for defensive coordinator Luke Fickell in his first year as a starter. OSU’s third starter at the position, Joshua Perry, has been less impressive than his teammates so far with only 19 tackles, which ranks as ninth best on the team.

That is partly because Perry is not on the field as much, since OSU has been playing a lot of nickel and dime defenses. Perry’s been solid, but has yet to make the big plays like Shazier and Grant have.

The group will have to continue to grow together and play well late into the season, as the weather turns colder and opponents could look to run the ball more.

Defensive backs: D Six games into the season, the OSU defense is ranked 77th in the country in terms of pass defense, giving up an average of 240 yards a game. These numbers could be worse if it not for the Buckeyes’ light schedule. Excluding California, which ranks No. 5 in the nation in passing with an average of 368 yards per game, no passing offense OSU has faced so far this season ranks in the top third of all teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

At times, redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby has looked lost against top talent, Wisconsin’s Jared Abbrederis and California’s Chris Harper, despite coming into the year as a preseason All-American. Junior cornerback Doran Grant has played well, but hasn’t been forced to do as much because a majority of the focus is put on Roby. The loss of senior safety Christian Bryant to a broken ankle against Wisconsin hurts an already disappointing unit that needs to get better if OSU wants to compete with the upper tier teams in the nation.

Special teams: B Meyer, as a coach, has always been vocal about the importance of special teams. So far this season, that has been made clear. The kicking game has been running on all cylinders so far, with freshman punter Cameron Johnston averaging more than 40 yards a punt and senior kicker Drew Basil hitting all 36 of his attempted kicks this season, five field goals and 31 extra points. Roby also blocked and recovered a punt in the end zone against Northwestern, the Buckeyes’ only touchdown in the first half against the Wildcats. The only disappointment on special teams so far has been the return game.

Although freshman running back Dontre Wilson has been electric returning kicks, he hasn’t made a significant impact on any given game with a return yet, and no Buckeye has a touchdown from a punt or kick return so far in 2013.

Volleyball set to visit Northwestern to kick off 3 game road trip tim moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu The upcoming schedule for Ohio State women’s volleyball is anything but orthodox.

The matches are scheduled to start Wednesday as the No. 17 Buckeyes take on Northwestern in Evanston, Ill., kicking off a three game road trip.

Coach Geoff Carlston said he sees the “weird” schedule as a blessing. The Buckeyes play three games over the course of seven days, contrary to their norm of lacing up for just two contests over the weekend.

“It’s kind of nice actually that these last two weekends we played back-toback against teams that had rest and days off,” he said.

After a 2-4 start to Big Ten play, a different schedule is not the only change Carlston wants to see.

“Really it’s about the offensive rhythm, finding a nice offensive rhythm and just getting up in our defensive energy, defensive attitude,” Carlston said.

Since starting the season on a 13 game winning streak, OSU has lost four of its last five matches, including being swept by Michigan State, Purdue and Minnesota.

Sophomore middle blocker Andrea Kacsits said she wants the team to bounce back and do more than just what gave it success at the start of the season.

“It would say so much about us as a team if we were able to overcome this and be able to come out of it even stronger than we were to start preseason,” Kacsits said.

Senior defensive specialist Julianne Mandolfo said part of returning to the team’s non-conference form will be eliminating mistakes.

“Right now, I think we just need to become more knowledgeable about the game,” she said. “We’re making aggressive mistakes but some mistakes we’re making are just, the bonehead, dumb mistakes.”

Mandolfo said since Big Ten play has started, the Buckeyes “just need wins.”

Junior outside hitter Erin Sekinger said if the team wants to win, it will have to put recent struggles behind them.

Mark Batke / Lantern photographer

Junior outside hitter Erin Sekinger (12) gets ready for a serve during a match against Michigan Sept. 27 at St. John Arena. OSU won, 3-1. “(It’s important) not to hang our heads over the loss on the weekend,” she said. “We just need to make sure that we stay positive and look at this as a learning experience.”

The match against Northwestern is set to be televised on the Big Ten Network, while an Oct. 23 date with Penn State will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Carlston said he does not expect the televised play to effect his squad in any way.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to return to St. John Arena Oct. 25 as they host No. 8 Nebraska.

sports For LaQuinton Ross, 2013-14 an opportunity to be ‘the guy’ Sports Columnist

Ohio State men’s basketball junior forward LaQuinton Ross looks to have more of a role this season for the Buckeyes, and if OSU wants to repeat its recent performances in March Madness, the team will need him.

The 6-foot-8-inch Jackson, Miss., native is expected to be a key contributor this year after spending most of last season as a reserve.

Although Ross didn’t really emerge as a contributor until the Buckeyes’ James Burpee run to the Elite 8, scoring 53 points burpee.4@osu.edu in 61 minutes during the tournament, he’s always had the potential to be a star.

Ross, the 43rd best player coming out of the 2011 recruiting class according to rivals.com, ran into academic problems that forced him to sit out the majority of his freshman season. He officially joined the team in December 2011 and played sparingly, averaging just two points per game.

During his sophomore season, Ross played in all 37 of the team’s games and averaged 8.3 points per contest, showing flashes of exceptional play when he got the chance. Against then-No.3 Michigan Feb. 5, Ross scored 16 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. He followed that performance with 11 points against then-No. 1 Indiana at home Feb. 10.

His career high came against Northern Kentucky Dec. 1, when he scored 22 points on 8-12 shooting.

Although Ross was proficient during the regular season, he really made an impact in the NCAA Tournament, where he averaged 15 points per game and made some huge shots. The most notable of those was his game winning 3-pointer to beat Arizona in the Sweet 16. He finished that game with 17 points.

With the departure of last year’s leading scorer Deshaun Thomas (19.8 points per game), the Buckeyes will need someone to replace him. Ross certainly has the ability to be just that guy.

Frosh Bosa named starter Eric Seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu Freshman defensive lineman Joey Bosa is listed as a starter ahead of sophomore defensive lineman Adolphus Washington on Ohio State’s most recent two-deep depth chart, released Tuesday.

Bosa has filled in admirably for Washington, who injured his groin against San Diego State Sept. 14.

The freshman from Florida has 16 tackles on the year, two sacks and recovered a fumble for a touchdown against Northwestern.

Coach Urban Meyer said on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday Washington was close to 100 percent healthy after hurting his ankle.

Senior running back Carlos Hyde is also listed as a starter ahead of redshirt-senior Jordan Hall, who is coming off a joint issue in his knee that caused him to miss the Oct. 5 game against Northwestern.

Meyer said Hall practiced Monday, and that he “could certainly complement” Hyde in the backfield.

Meyer also mentioned getting Hall on the field on third downs.

Hall is also listed as the starting kick returner with freshman running back Dontre Wilson for Saturday’s game.

Senior wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown is listed as the H-back for the offense in place of

Freshman defensive lineman Joey Bosa (97) celebrates during a game against Northwestern Oct. 5 at Ryan Field. OSU won, 40-30. regular starter redshirt-senior Chris Fields, with Wilson backing him up. Brown was listed earlier in the season as a co-starter with junior Devin Smith at the X receiver position.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to play Iowa Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

Then-sophomore forward LaQuinton Ross looks on during a game against Iona March 22 at University of Dayton Arena. OSU won, 95-70.

Coaches from 6A Speth said that off-field relationship and other shared ideals help the two work together with players.

“Just like with any other relationship, the honor system sort of (speaks) where you feel a lot more free to voice your opinion because you’ve been together for so long, so I’m not worried or afraid to tell him what I think about this player or that player just like he’s not (afraid to either),” Speth said. “So we really get into some conversations concerning players, both pros and cons, but I think because of the relationship and friendship, I think it’s easier to put it all on the table and just say this is how I see this guy based on past experience and what I’ve seen.”

The Buckeyes are off to a slow start to the 2013-14 season and have an overall record of 2-6-4 and have yet to record any Big Ten wins, going 0-2-1 record in conference play. Bluem said Speth’s training sessions with the team help the players immensely.

“He’s a no-nonsense guy. He’s hard on (the players) and he’s fair, and they know that and respect him for that,” Bluem said. “One of the things that I like about Frank the most is that he makes the training sessions good, they are conducive to improving the players — and they’re fun.”

Buckeye senior defender Sage Gardner has started all four seasons since coming to OSU and has been the team captain for the last two. Gardner

said he has always had a good relationship with both of the coaches.

“All four years it’s been positive, and I knew Frank a little bit coming in so I’ve always felt comfortable coming here,” he said. “I think it has definitely grown over the years, I think we’re a little more comfortable with each other, coach Bluem and I, and I think he’s good at handing over some of the responsibility and team leadership to me over the past four years, so it’s definitely been a positive relationship that’s evolved.”

Another player who has gotten to know both coaches in the last four years is redshirt-senior defender Ben Killian, who said he has the “utmost respect” for his coaches.

“I’m pretty close with both of them. They are great guys, great guys to talk to,” he said. “They know the game, they’ve been around it for many years and national title finalists, so when it comes to soccer they know it. They know the game inside and out. Every day I just try to learn as much as I can from them.”

Bluem also mentioned how the long-lasting relationship has led to great respect and admiration for Speth.

“Obviously, we have a very good relationship,” Bluem said. “To be honest with you, I think we coach the team together. I’m the head coach in name and he is the associate head coach in name, but when we work together I feel like he has as much to say with what’s going on with the program as I do. I respect his opinion completely and he’s an incredible, valuable associate to have.”
