Ohio State trying to turn the corner as it welcomes Maryland RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu It might not have been pretty at all times, but a 34-27 win at Indiana has Ohio State off to a winning start in Big Ten play.

Now it comes home to welcome a team that did not have that same luxury.

Maryland (2-3, 0-1) is gearing up to make its first visit to Columbus after a 28-0 blowout loss at home against Michigan last week.

Despite not notching a point against the Wolverines, OSU defensive coordinator Luke Fickell said he thinks the Terrapins will keep the Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0) needing to be alert at all times on defense.

“They’re going to move the ball well, they’re going to mix it up, they’re going to keep you on your toes,” Fickell said.

Maryland coach Randy Edsall is expected to further keep the Buckeyes on their toes by taking a page out of OSU coach Urban Meyer’s book by choosing not to reveal the starting quarterback until kickoff.

Sophomore Caleb Rowe, redshirt junior Perry Hills and redshirt senior Daxx Garman have each split time at quarterback this year.

Hills started the Terrapins’ first two games, with Rowe filling in for the next three but Garman getting time in two of them due to Rowe struggling.

Fickell said he sees Maryland as a team in a

self-discovery period.

“They’re trying to figure out who they are, and what best suits them and fits them as they move forward,” he said.

Still, senior linebacker Cam Williams said, as the No. 1 team in the nation, OSU expects the opposition’s best efforts each week.

“We’re going to get the best shot from the coaches, we’re going to get the best shot from the players. We’re continuing to get looks that are never shown on film, looks that they’ve never had a tendency to do,” Williams said. “It’s almost like a lot of teams are saving up. It’s unique, but it’s a lot of fun because we’re going to get their best shot, but we’re give them our best shot back too.”

Williams acknowledged that the Buckeyes are not playing their best ball — highlighted by needing a goal-line stand to stave off an Indiana team that hasn’t beaten OSU since 1988 — but the early struggles could make them a better team as postseason play draws nearer.

“It’s always good to experience adversity …

We look back at our team last year, we face a lot of adversity,” Williams said. “When you continue to face that adversity a lot, we get tougher, we callous.”

Kickoff against Maryland is set for noon.

Previously for the Terrapins Maryland has had a rocky season coming into Week 6. After starting 2-1 with double-digit wins against Richmond and South Florida — with a 21-point loss at home against Bowling

On gamedays, Ohio State fans might see an unexpected visitor in the crowd: the horse of Officer Regina Shoopman from the OSU Police Mounted Unit.

Shoopman and her horses, Red and Orion, have been at OSU since 2012, when the Mounted Unit first began as a pilot program.

When crowds gather for the game, Shoopman has a wide view from atop her horse.

“Horses have an advantage when it comes to height, the high platform it puts the officer at gives us an advantage,” Shoopman said.

“Also, it gives people on campus an advantage because they can see the officer on the horse in the area.”

The horses can also strengthen the connection between police and the public, Shoopman said, because a police horse can be a conversation starter.

U.S.-China and TPP policy discussion draws students JOELY FRIEDMAN Lantern reporter friedman.312@osu.edu U.S.-China policy and the Trans-Pacific Partnership were both discussed Wednesday evening at the Moritz College of Law as an auditorium filled with students listened to opposing perspectives.

The event at the Saxbe Auditorium focused on the implications of the TPP and whether United States policy concerning China should be one of engagement or containment. The relationship between the two countries is often debated among policy makers.

The discussion was hosted by the OSU chapter of the Alexander Hamilton Society, a student organization that fosters constructive dialogue of contemporary national and international issues.

“We try to present all points of view,” said Martin Lopez, president of the Alexander Hamilton Society OSU chapter and a thirdyear in political science.

The TPP is a 12-nation trade pact that seeks to lower trade barriers among the countries around the Pacific. The trade agreement

is still in the negotiations phase and will require the support of Congress to pass.

The first panelist, Keary McCarthy, the president and CEO of Innovation Ohio, an Ohio policy think tank, said she believes that while engaging in free trade undoubtedly leads to overall net economic benefit for America’s GDP, American workers will be the ones to pay the price.

“Will that economic growth be tightly concentrated or broadly shared?” he asked those in attendance. “When you look at the history of free trade agreements over the last 20 years, I think it’s hard to make the argument that free trade agreements lead to broad based prosperity for the American domestic labor market.”

Stacy Haerr, a fourth-year in Chinese and security and intelligence, admitted that she doesn’t know as much about the TPP Agreement as she said she probably should.

“I want to focus on China in my career, so I want to know more about the policies,” she said.

The second panelist, Bin Yu, a political science professor at Wittenberg University and a senior fellow at the Shanghai Association of American Studies, told the students

“The Western approach thinks that if you are our friend, you need to assimilate with us,” he said. “Whereas the Chinese believe in harmony of the differences, we believe in needing to respect each other with our differences.”

Daniel Blumenthal, the director of Asian Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and a resident fellow, was the third and final panelist. He acknowledged that the TPP isn’t the answer to all of American’s issues with respect to China, but it is one of the tools of national power available.

“In Washington, we are always looking for tools of power that aren’t military,” he said. “Economic leadership along free mar-

ket lines is something that got us to our very favorable position in the first place.”

The evening ended with the moderator, Peter Mansoor, the AHS faculty advisor, an OSU military history professor, and a CNN military analyst, encouraging students to do their own research and to look at the benefits of free trade agreements before making a decision on whether free trade agreements are good or bad for the American people.

“If free trade agreements were so bad, if they depressed wages, if they ruined the middle class, if they worked against our interests overseas, then why do presidents and presidential candidates of both parties support them?” he said.

Alliance aims to assess OSU advising CLAYTON EBERLY Lantern reporter eberly.72@osu.edu Ohio State will be taking part in a fouryear study with 10 other universities to assess the effectiveness of advising in colleges, according to an OSU press release.

The study will evaluate the advising process in terms of retention, progression and graduation rates for 10,000 low-income and first-generation students.

“We are currently installing a predictive analytics system to help us deliver more proactive approaches to advising,” OSU Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Steinmetz said in the release.

According to the release, students at each of the universities will be randomly selected and receive intensive and active advisement, real-time alerts based on tracking when they may be struggling and advising interven-

The university will take part in a 4-year study to determine the effectiveness of academic advising tions to get them back on the right path.

“Ultimately the idea is to identify practices that can be ‘scaled up’ for use by many institutions,” said Amy Murray, OSU assistant director of media relations.

Murray also said that the students selected from OSU for the study will probably be from regional campuses.

The 11 colleges participating are members of the University Innovation Alliance, which was started one year ago to encour-

age collaboration between teaching institutions to promote improved performance and graduation rates among low-income and first generation students, said Bridget Burns, UIA executive director.

“The alliance believes in universities helping each other by sharing ideas and experiences,” Burns said. “Instead of going it alone with elbows out, we believe in linking arms to help students at a faster and higher rate.”

The alliance also includes fellow Big Ten schools like Michigan State and Purdue University.

The UIA was selected in the U.S. Department of Education’s First in the World competition that encourages innovation among institutions of higher education.

The alliance’s proposal for this study won the competition in September 2015.

“We’re providing resources to hire new academic advisors,” Burns said. “They’ll

work with students and capture data on what works and what doesn’t to get kids on track.”

According to a UIA press release, the study will observe the strengths and weaknesses of introducing systematic and proactive advising to the students.

“The country stands a chance to really close the achievement gap,” Burns said.

Burns also said that OSU is now among one of the most innovative universities in the country and that they have seen strong leadership coming from Drake and Steinmetz.

“Ohio State is proud to be part of this national partnership of universities that is using its data analytics research to increase graduation rates for students,” said University President Michael Drake in a release.

The UIA has also committed to graduate an additional 68,000 students by 2025, at least half of whom will be low-income graduates.

up and pet the horse, so it lets us be able to start a conversation with people,” Shoopman said.

She said another advantage of the unit is that horses can go to parts of campus that cruisers can’t get to, like the Olentangy River Trail.

“If we get a call of a suspicious package on gameday, it might take a person in a cruiser or on a bike several minutes to clear the parking lot looking for the subject, where we can see the entire parking lot from the horse in just a few seconds,” Shoopman said.

Currently, Shoopman, Red and Orion make up the entire unit.

Administration and Planning spokesman Justin Moss said in an email that there are no plans to expand the OSU Mounted Unit.

Shoopman said she trained her

own horses to become police horses and occasionally trains with other units. She started training her police horses in 1997 at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, and worked for the university from 2005 to 2008.

Red and Orion are on campus only three days a week and return to Shoopman’s farm when they’re not working, she said. The two are herd buddies and hang out together when they are in their pasture.

“You can see them standing in a natural herd position sometimes, nose to tail, and side by side and doing the things that horses do,” Shoopman said.

Khalid Moalim contributed to this story.

Carrie Fleider, the assistant director of the CCS and one of the creators, said she hopes that by launching it, more students will come for help.

“The idea behind the app is to have the access to tools in your pocket,” Fleider said. “We designed it to be user friendly and we do a lot of outreach on campus, but this is a way to have prevention services.”

The CCS app provides a way for students to make appointments with the CCS and learn techniques for dealing with the stress and academic pressure some students feel as midterms approach.

The app includes stress busting recordings, a section dedicated to changing a bad mood into a good one, breathing techniques, emergency crisis contact info and links to the CCS website.

Jenna Von Sossan, a third-year in agribusiness and applied economics, has the app downloaded and uses it from time to time. She said she heard about the app on the CCS page and downloaded it then. “(The app) is helpful for anyone, no matter what they are going through,” Von Sossan said.

“It also is good for everyone to know about even if they think they would never need something like that, but with college, a lot of things can come up and there’s a lot of stress, so it’s nice to have a resource in case you need it.”

Someone is Looking for You! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” -- and a loving one too.

Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:7-10, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2Peter 3:8/ Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15)!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Gun violence deserves our anger and action Last Thursday I watched a video entitled “Surviving an Active Shooter,” a theatrical, high-budget short film created by Ohio State in conjunction with the OSU police department. In the film, a gunman is shown entering an academic building on campus and proceeds to pull out a handgun and fire at innocent students and faculty. The video, while informative, truly made me realize how desperately and pathetically this country is struggling to find a reactive solution to a problem that should be handled proactively.

Minutes after watching this terrifying video, I read the first news article about the community college shooting in Roseburg, Oregon. Another school, another town, another 10 lives with hopes, dreams and futures cut short.

As I read the breaking news stories covering the shooting, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmingly angry. Sad, yes. But as President Barack Obama so accurately stated in his speech following the massacre, “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

I am angry, and I am scared. I am scared to sit in my lecture halls, because our academic buildings are not locked.

I am scared to sit in a movie theater, because those doors aren’t locked either. I am scared to go to church, because church doors are always open.

I am sad for the victims and families that were affected by this and every mass shooting. But my sadness is absolutely worthless in the face of senseless murder. My sadness will not prevent another 10 people from dying at the hands of a coward with a weapon.

But my anger might.

So let it be known that I am angry that I live in a country where multiple mili-

tary-grade assault rifles can be obtained by a mentally ill murderer. I am angry that the United States of America has had 133 mass shootings in which four or more victims were killed in the past 14 years, the most of any developed country in the world. I am angry that I live in a country where defense against terrorism is taken so seriously that I have to be X-rayed to get on a plane, but an armed murderer can waltz into an elementary school and kill dozens of children with weapons that were purchased in this very country.

I am angry, and I am scared. I am scared to sit in my lecture halls, because our academic buildings are not locked. I am scared to sit in a movie theater, because those doors aren’t locked either. I am scared to go to church, because church doors are always open. At what point will we realize that locking our doors will not stop evil from entering them? At what point will we realize that making educational videos will not save our lives? At what point will we realize that we shouldn’t have to prepare for these situations?

No matter what gun advocates may say, guns do kill people. Guns were created to kill. Yes, a gun sitting on a table does not fire itself, but a person standing in a door-

way unarmed is incapable of mass murder.

So let’s stop bickering over the chickenand-egg argument and start making change.

Gun violence is no longer an issue that we can sweep under our doorsteps. It is an epidemic that we must stop by implementing stronger common sense gun laws that prevent people with mental illnesses (associated with homicidal tendencies) or criminal histories from getting their hands on guns. Period. We need to change our nation’s stance on gun ownership as a right to as a privilege, a privilege that must be earned and that can be taken away.

When we finally stop reacting to gun violence and start proactively preventing gun violence, we will all be safer. Until this is done, I will remain angry, and I urge my fellow classmates to consider their own safety as a student in this country. Watch the OSU gun safety video. Ask yourself if learning how to survive an active shooter was something that you wanted to be taught in college. This is our generation’s burden to bear; let’s stop being sad and get something done about it.

Foundry Club helps students cast the future

IAN BAILEY | LANTERN REPORTER

Engineering students work to clean and prepare the Foundry Club members’ mold during their meeting on Oct. 7 in Watts Hall.

IAN BAILEY Lantern reporter bailey.615@osu.edu The molds were set and the metal had been melted down as members of the Foundry Club began to work on casting projects in the basement of Watts Hall on Tuesday. After spending the past several weeks preparing the shop and materials, the club is ready to present students with a unique opportunity in working with molten metal.

As the Ohio State student chapter of the American Foundry Society, the club promotes interaction between the metal casting industry and its members to help educate students about the science of cast-

ing. Through their regular meetings, students have the opportunity to help design and cast molds, create their own projects, attend industry conferences and visit local metal casting facilities.

“If you have an interest in casting or metal in general, and like melting it down and seeing it as a liquid, that’s all it really takes for you to come in and participate,” said Drew Demmerle, a third-year in welding engineering and the recruitment chair for the Foundry Club.

Demmerle has created several projects in his two years with the organization. He said that the casting process is a lot of fun, and members can leave the shop with their finished product in the same

“After the metal is poured into the mold and has had time to cool down, we carefully break it apart, sand it down to make it nice and shiny and the student can take it home if they want,” Demmerle said.

With more than 45 different casts and molds ready for use, in addition to access to a 3-D printer for making projects, the club has many options available for those that are interested and creative.

Colin Ridgeway, a graduate

student in aluminum casting and president of the club, said he is excited to work with new students and help them with their projects and molds. In his first term as president, he is looking forward to the ideas that potential members have to offer.

“It’s a very exciting and interesting opportunity that I am happy to have taken on. Being open to all students and all majors, it’s nice having perspectives that shed a whole new light on design aspects that engineers might not have,”

Ridgeway said.

Ridgeway added that students’ projects include jewelry, trinkets and even once a replica of a sword from the TV show, “Adventure Time.”

In addition to foundry work, the club’s bi-monthly meetings also allow students to connect with the local casting community through guest speakers who share their practice and techniques with interested students. Guest speakers come to the first meeting of the FOUNDRY CONTINUES ON 7

McCartney proves Ohio still a mecca for rock ‘n’ roll CAMERON CARR For The Lantern carr.613@osu.edu While Ohio might seem like a less noteworthy tour stop for a rock star like Paul McCartney, the state’s prominent role in the history of rock ‘n’ roll contributes to its appeal.

On Aug. 24 University President Michael Drake announced at convocation that McCartney would be returning to Columbus for the first time in ten years.

The Oct. 13 concert at Nationwide Arena is one of just five upcoming dates on the former The Beatles member’s Out There tour.

When rock music first gained popularity, Ohio was at the forefront of that movement, said Todd Mesek, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s vice president of marketing and communications. The term rock ‘n’ roll actually originated from Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, Mesek said.

“Ohio has always been a state where significant music history has been made — including the first rock concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball,” he said. “Even way beyond that, Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati have all been cities where the radio stations, the music clubs and the fans really broke some significant acts.”

Mesek said that Cleveland figures such as Freed and Leo Mintz, founder of the influential Record Rendezvous record store, helped to build a foundation for rock ‘n’ roll with the help of a fan base more excited than

those in other regions.

“The freedom that especially the Cleveland DJs had to play new music and introduce new acts coupled with a rabid fan base in Cleveland and Ohio really helped acts go from popular to super stardom,” Mesek said.

Ohio became a central focus for rock music largely because of that supportive fan base, which Mesek said has stuck around today, citing acts from Led Zeppelin to The Black Keys that gained early support in the area.

“Part of it’s because there’s this Midwestern blue collar ethos where they just really wanted to come together,” he said. “It was hardworking people who wanted to let loose on the weekend.”

When booking a large act such as McCartney, demonstrating that fan support is vital, said Xen Riggs, associate vice president for the Office of Student Life at Ohio State.

“Columbus is certainly not a must-play market by any means, but it’s considered a very strong market,” he said. “We compete

very well with nearby markets.”

Riggs said OSU established a relationship with Anschutz Entertainment Group, the company handling the Out There tour, on McCartney’s Columbus stops in 2003 and 2005. He said he spent the last few years asking about another performance before impressing AEG with the success of The Rolling Stones’ May 30 concert, the top-selling date on the tour as far as tickets.

The Rolling Stones and McCartney are part of a recent trend in which large acts, including others such as Rush and The Who, select Columbus over nearby cities such as Cleveland, the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll.

Mesek added that the president of the university is also a factor when musicians select a venue While Drake, a guitar player and member of the Rock Hall of Fame’s Board of Trustees, may be a fan of McCartney, he’s certainly not the only one.

“I’ve been a Beatles fan and a Paul McCartney fan ever since I was young,” said Laurice Joseph, an associate professor in the College of Education and Human Ecology who will be attending the concert. “I’ve heard he puts on a really good show and he has a lot of energy — he’s just a good entertainer and performer.”

Mesek said a McCartney concert is more than just musical talent.

“It is no longer about seeing music, it is a cultural experience,” he said. “That’s beyond just a concert.”

Wex crafts program for brain injuries KYJAH CORYAT Lantern reporter coryat.1@osu.edu The Wexner Center for the Arts is promoting both wellness for individuals living with brain injuries and the social experience of learning about art in a program titled Art on the Brain.

Art on the Brain is a program that has a concentration on art analysis to improve cognitive function, and will be the focus of the next series of public programs at the Wexner Center from Oct. 15 through Dec. 17.

Tracie McCambridge, educator for docent and teacher programs at the Wexner Center and founder of the Art on the Brain program, wouldn’t call Art on the Brain medicine, but said she agrees that that individuals who participate in these types of activities can achieve total wellness.

“My favorite thing about the program is when people discover strengths that they did not realize they had, revealing that just because it’s dormant does not mean

Art on display during the Art on the Brain tour. it’s not there,” McCambridge said in an email. “For instance, someone who thinks very linearly might say something very metaphorical or imaginative, and they might not realize that they are accessing a different part of their brain and how this is a strength.”

The series works with individuals with brain injuries and their

loved ones to learn how to look at art through interpretation to stimulate parts of their brains.

Art on the Brain aims to promote discussion about exploring art specifically for individuals whose thinking processes were derailed and want help realigning, or are struggling with their focus or cannot articulate their thoughts as

well as they would like, McCambridge said.

McCambridge started the program with attention toward who else would benefit from inquiry-based tours that guide people to interpret art using visual evidence.

“Brain injury especially can feel isolating — people can’t see the injury so they assume you are

better. An injury can change your personality, so you might be withdrawn from friends and family,” she said.

Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, a researcher at the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University’s Neurological Institute said it is unusual for individuals with a brain injury to use art in their rehabilitation.

“Sometimes people are offered art therapy to help them express themselves or navigate their emotions during recovery, but art is not generally used for cognitive or physical rehabilitation. Ohio State is unique in having programs that use art to help cognitive and physical rehabilitation,” Worthen-Chaudhari said in an email.

McCambridge said that art and music therapies are different from Art on the Brain because of the social element. She added that socializing in a public space, such as the medical center, versus a hospital is also very different.

“A lot of students may have no idea what the industry could look like, so it’s nice to have these speakers come in and help prepare us for the professional setting,” Ridgeway said.

Each year, the Foundry Club sends six of its members to Chicago to participate in an annual Foundry Career Fair. The group said that it’s a rare opportunity for interested students to fully immerse themselves in the industry, and members keep their fingers crossed in hope of being selected for the trip.

“In the middle of November

we’ll select six or seven members to send to the career fair meeting in Chicago, all expenses paid. They will get to meet with industry professionals who will take them out, show them a nice night with dinner and network with them. It’s an awesome opportunity and it helps our members out a lot,” Ridgeway said.

Ridgeway said he hopes that new members of the club will continue to show interest.

who completely understand the situation, they feel more comfortable in their skin. I have seen participants in the program become a lot more social, for instance, groups of people getting together for dinner after the program because they want to talk with their new friends,” she said.

Art on the Brain is a program not available at all medical centers.

“We are very lucky to have support from OSU Wexner Medical Center leaders in the Neurological Institute to integrate innovative uses of art within our rehabilitation medicine services,” McCambridge said.

She added that individuals can temporarily forget their injuries and enjoy time with their loved ones.

Individuals living with brain injuries interested in this program should be past the acute phase of their recovery, should be able to travel to the Wexner Center and attend each class. Caregivers and loved ones of those with individuals living brain injuries are welcome to come to classes as participants as well.

Teamwork key to surviving ‘sinister’ escape room IAN BAILEY Lantern reporter bailey.615@osu.edu Buckeyes looking for a scare in 45 minutes or less can find it at the Redemption Escape Room.

In celebration of its continued success and in preparation for this year’s Halloween season, Columbus’ The Chamber Escape Room has opened its doors for participants to experience its newest attraction, the Redemption Escape Room. Since opening night on Sept. 18, the new room has received many positive reviews, staff members said, providing Buckeyes with an alternative to their normal evening activities.

The Redemption Escape Room is a live game in which a team of up to 12 people must find its way out of a trapped room within 45 minutes.

Team members must find hidden keys, solve challenging riddles and use numerous amounts of planted clues to lead them to freedom.

Teamwork is essential for success, with about 30 percent of teams escaping within the time limit.

Daniel Hutchinson, owner and founder of The Chamber Escape Room, said he is excited and greatly pleased with the turnout the room has seen and is glad the idea has taken off in Columbus.

“We have had an incredible amount of success. Escape rooms fit in great with the Columbus scene. Buckeyes are adventurous and love to try new experiential activities,” he said. “We are normally booked weeks in advance, and I feel that is a testament to the quality of the room and the professionalism of our staff.”

The room has a sinister theme, as it was designed with a Halloween scene in mind. This drives participants to escape before they meet their fictional demise. Hutchinson admits that it is a bit creepy but that it’s definitely not a haunted house. Attendees participate in a back story that the owner wishes to keep secret until participants are actually in the room.

“By nature the room is designed to make you think outside the box and give you a different level of stimulation than you are normally used to.”

“We have had nothing but positive reactions from our customers. By nature the room is designed to make you think outside the box and give you a different level of stimulation than you are normally used to,” Hutchinson said.

“Normally our customers leave with a huge smile on their faces and even send us emails about how they are still talking about it weeks later.”

Brittney Sarnes, actress and receptionist for the Redemption Room, has been with the company since it was created in May. She said it’s exciting to have upfront contact with groups that come through because she can give them an experience they will never forget.

“I’ve been playing escape games online for

a while. I think it’s awesome that not only can we bring this experience live to players, but that nearly everyone leaves with a smile on their face, even if they don’t escape within the time limit. It’s awesome to watch them work as a team to solve the puzzle,” Sarnes said.

Andrew Repp, a spring 2015 Ohio State graduate in English and history, finished the room with his group and escaped with time to spare. Members of his group excitedly shared the experience and talked about their thought processes after solving the puzzle.

“It really is a fully immersed experience.

There are little hints everywhere that make you use your brain and force you to investigate how everything is related to each other. There are even some hints that are meant to lead you off the trail. Thankfully we could work together as a team, see through the distraction, and we made it through with a little more than five minutes left,” Repp said.

The war veteran-owned company relies on support from the OSU community and plans to ride the success and momentum from this season and further expand to new rooms for next year.

“Thanks to everyone’s support, we’re excited to announce that right now we have plans in action to open more rooms starting at the beginning of the year,” Hutchinson said.

Reservations are necessary for The Chamber Escape Room, located at 1415 E. Dublin Granville Rd., and it is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. Individual tickets are $29 per person with group rates available.

THE DIM BULB

Freshman with over 30 AP credits yet to brag about it The Dim Bulb is a weekly satire column contributed by members of The Sundial, Ohio State’s humor magazine.

Thomas Baker, a first-year in chemistry, has a secret — a secret that many people immediately squander three seconds into awkward conversation. Baker has more than 30 AP credits, but has not mentioned it in casual conversation a single time, a first since the AP test was implemented in 1955.

“When I got to Ohio State, I couldn’t wait to tell everybody that I wouldn’t have to take the first semester of English,” said Sarah Lincolnshire, a third-year in marketing who still cannot cite a paper in MLA format.

“Who cares how many AP credits transferred,” Baker stated in a press release over the anonymous social media app Yik Yak on Wednesday. “None of the credits went to my major.”

The statement received more than 64 up-yaks and comments including, “That’s one salty sophomore,” “A Yak that isn’t a screenshot of SpongeBob? Up-Yak for you, Sir!” and “I didn’t have to take the first semester of English - Sarah.”

Since confessing to his clandestine credits, Baker yak-ed that he “feels like he finally fits in with the rest of his freshman class, despite technically being a sophomore.”

A yakker with a canoe avatar then commented, “If you’re technically a sophomore, you’re definitely a freshman,” and a black shovel added, “I didn’t have to take the first semester of English - Sarah.”

Ohio State women’s rowing team sets sights on 4-peat NICHOLAS MCWILLIAMS For The Lantern mcwilliams.66@osu.edu As the Ohio State rowing team looks ahead to going after an unprecedented fourth straight national championship in 2016, the squad is working hard to prepare itself and stay focused on the season ahead.

“It’s kind of an indescribable feeling because at the end, you all realize how much work you all put in for this moment,” junior MaryClare Stannard said.

The team captured its third consecutive championship last year, becoming the first in NCAA history to do so.

“When we won, I was just so happy for everyone in the boat and on the the team,” junior Casey Schaffer said.

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the team and the possibility of repeating yet again, and everyone involved in the program knows it.

“We try to stay humble, and we gotta make sure there’s no cutting corners,” Stannard said.

Assistant coaches Madeline Davis and Anna Goodale take a similar viewpoint in focusing on the now.

“I tell them ‘one stroke at a time,’ because you will not get better if you skip over and not pay attention to what’s right in front of you,”

Goodale said.

Davis added that the team’s main focus has to be improving, even after reaching the pinnacle three years in a row.

“At every opportunity you have to take a step forward, take it,” Davis said.

Both Davis and Goodale have professional experience in rowing, having competed on the U.S. women’s national team Goodale, the newest addition to the coaching staff, was a member of the women’s eight team that won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

The women’s eight team, which is a team in rowing that has eight members in the boat, with four oars on either side for propulsion and a rudder manned by a coxswain, is the group which took home the individual championship for OSU. The team works hard to keep focused through a culture of camaraderie.

“We are honestly a family,” Schaffer said. “I’ve never been a part of such an empowering group of young female athletes.”

Stannard agreed that it is a very close-knit group.

“We feed off of each other as teammates,” Stannard said.

“We can’t do it without each other.”

The 2016 schedule has yet to be released, but the season is set to begin in late March.

everybody back,” Tanoue said.

“We’re going to rely very heavily on that experience throughout the year.”

Freshman Michael Steinel, the lone new face to the travel team, enjoyed the experience of his first collegiate match.

“It was really nice traveling with the team. It was a very good atmosphere,” he said. “It was a little strange not having my family there, my old teammates and things like that, but coach takes care of everything for you and the team really supports you.”

Despite still learning to adjust to the college lifestyle, Steinel feels comfortable in competition.

“I’d say I had a fairly productive time as a junior. I went to a lot of big matches and got a lot of experience there,” Steinel said. “But I was home-schooled, so time management is a lot different here.”

The Buckeyes, who are part of the Patriot Rifle Conference, a rifle-only conference for schools

whose primary conferences do not have rifle as a sponsored sport, have goals on multiple levels.

“Some of the smaller goals we have are to be as competitive as possible within our conference.

Our conference is very strong,” Tanoue said. “Even though we came

Last year On Oct. 6, 2014, the Buckeyes traveled to College Park, Maryland, for the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

The game turned into a shootout, as the Buckeyes scored seven touchdowns en route to a 52-24 win.

Then-redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett was 18-of-23 for 267 yards and four touchdowns, completing passes to nine different players.

Then-senior quarterback C.J. Brown got the start for Maryland, but was pulled for Rowe after throwing three interceptions in 22 attempts.

Rowe threw one pick of his own, which was taken back 19 yards for a score by then-freshman linebacker Raekwon McMillan.

“For Purdue, we know they have a strong front line so we’re just going to come out and try to be the more physically dominant team and see where it goes from there,” Skinner said.

The Terrapins, who have yet to win a Big Ten game this season, come to town on Sunday afternoon.

Walker said the excitement surrounding this weekend will contribute to the Buckeyes’ homefield advantage.

“It’s also our official visit weekend so to be playing at home, to have our future recruits coming in, it’s an exciting time,” Walker said. “It’s Homecoming, so there’s always a buzz around the whole campus. So it’s easy to get up and be excited when you have that kind

“The big goal for our team, and every rifle team out there, is to qualify for the NCAA championship,” Tanoue said. “I think we’re on a good track to be able to do that, but it was only match one.”

“The big goal for our Cheezum and then-junior Remteam, and every rifle ington Lyman qualified as individuals last year, but the team narrowteam out there, is to ly missed out. qualify for the NCAA “It was a really neat experience championship.

Sophomore H-back Curtis Samuel had only one carry and no receptions last week. According to Meyer, however, he “feels better” after back spasms limited him in practice before the Indiana game.

Samuel is listed as the starting No. 2 receiver on the depth chart.

Walker said an emphasis on each valuing possession is being placed heading into the weekend.

Additionally, the coach said the little details need to be addressed for the Buckeyes to win this weekend.

“So doing the littlest things like sliding, opening up your hips properly, running in front of the goalkeeper, we need to do a better job of,” Walker said. “We have the right people at the right places and we’re serving the right balls in but we’re just not executing that final piece.”

“It’s going to be a Friday/Saturday tilt that’s going to be a lot of hitting, tight checking and probably low scoring,” Dalrymple said.

“Hopefully, as defensemen, we can break their forecheck down and cause neutral zone turnovers as well.”

With 27 players on the roster, OSU has plenty of depth. For Buckeyes’ coach Steve Rohlik, the first few weekends will tell him what type of team he’s working with.

“We’ll see what we have,” Rohlik said. “We just want to keep getting better. Friday is an opportunity against a very good hockey team here at home.”

Another tough aspect with having as many players on the team, is who will be in the weekly starting lineup. It does however, create competition, which ultimately

should improve the team.

“There’s going to be some good players that aren’t dressed on Friday night,” Rohlik said. “That’s good and bad. The good part is, we do have some depth, the bad part is, we’re going to have some guys that are a little disappointed. That’s going to be the competition that we need to continue to get better.”

Five of OSU’s seven first-half opponents are ranked in the top 20, according to the United States College Hockey Online poll.

Getting behind in the loss column is not an option this season if the Buckeyes want to stay in contention for an at-large bid to go to the NCAA Tournament.

“We can’t be playing catchup come January,” Schilkey said. “It’s go time right now. It’ll be good to find out where we are, but at the same time, those are games we have to win.”

Puck drop between the Buckeyes and the Falcons is set for 7 p.m. on Friday in Columbus while Saturday’s tilt is a scheduled 7:37 p.m.

Following three straight road games, the Ohio State women’s soccer team (6-3-3, 1-2-2) returns to Columbus to take on the Purdue Boilermakers (7-5-0, 2-3-0) and the Maryland Terrapins (5-7-0, 0-4-0) this weekend.

The Buckeyes’ last game ended in a draw to Illinois last Friday.

Junior defender Bridget Skinner said the team can build off the momentum developed against the Illini, despite not winning the game.

“We finished strong, we didn’t get the ‘W’ in Illinois, but we finished strong playing-wise,” Skinner said. “I think bringing that momentum home and then having fans and all of our friends being able to watch will make it much more exciting and even drive that level of intensity up.”

OSU coach Lori Walker said she is impressed with the type of leader Skinner has become on the team this year.

“In the absence of (redshirt junior defender) Morgan Wolcott being on the field for us, I think Bridget Skinner has done a really good job,” Walker said. “Her voice against Illinois was outstanding.

Her having that big voice and being bold and confident about what she’s instructing people to do, I’m really proud of how she has emerged to lead our back line.”

Rifle team looks to carry record-setting start to NCAA championship ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu The Ohio State rifle team set a program-high opening match score of 4,658 at its season opener in Reno, Nevada, on Sept. 26 and 27.

The Buckeyes, who entered the season ranked No. 7 in the country, fired a score of 2,316 in smallbore and a team score of 2,342 in air rifle. The combined total marks the program’s fourth highest all-time.

OSU coach Ryan Tanoue said he views the score as a positive sign,

but acknowledges that there’s still work to be done.

“I think it’s definitely a good sign for us and the outlook for the year. At the same time, I don’t think you want to read too much into it,” Tanoue said. “I think there’s definitely a lot of room for us to improve, and we know that.”

Sophomore Drew Cheezum led the way for the Buckeyes in Nevada, setting a personal best 586 in smallbore. An NCAA qualifier last year, Cheezum is picking up where he left off last season.

“Last year I was really only proud of one score, which hap-

pened to be the last match that we shot in smallbore,” Cheezum said.

“I felt a little bit more pressure since I finished so strongly last year. It just felt really good to do

even better than I finished off.”

Despite the record strong start, sophomore Joshua Black said he thinks they can push themselves further.

“It’s not exactly a satisfying score even though it’s a season-opening record,” he said. “I think a record that we can easily break this year is going to be the team record overall as a school.”

Alongside Cheezum and Black, all of the rifle team’s starters from last season have returned, giving the Buckeyes an experienced squad.

Black said he feels having a year

of experience under his belt is helping him focus on competing.

“I feel like my freshman year I had a pretty big learning curve, and right now I’m just trying to develop my skills and really go out and perform in the matches,” Black said.

Tanoue also looks at the team’s experience as a strength.
