Top dorm crime: theft
Reported crimes vary from hall to hall, regardless of building location AMANDA ETCHISON Miller Reporter etchison.4@osu.edu Katherine Arnold’s relief at having her bicycle pedal fixed was short-lived when, just a few days after the repair, she saw her lock hanging in place of her twowheeled ride outside of Busch House. “When I came out in the morning, (the bike) was gone and my bike lock was there and it had been clearly cut through,” said Arnold, a second-year in social work. “It definitely is an inconvenience, and it is kind of sad that we can’t leave our property at the bike racks outside of our residence halls and be confident that they’ll still be here in the morning.” Arnold’s bike theft, which occurred in early October, happened on North Campus, but a Lantern analysis of three years of Ohio State Department of Public Safety crime log data shows that crime isn’t more likely to happen in any specific region of campus. Although some residence halls were found to have a higher number of crimes reported per capita last year, data doesn’t show a trend in which residence halls consistently had more reported crimes. OSU Administration and Planning spokesman Dan Hedman said many circumstances contribute to reported crime trends. “When considering crime trends, one must look at all factors, including the number of total residents per building, location (inside/outside), nature of the crime and other factors,” Hedman said in an email. Stereotypes versus statistics Even though some residence halls and parts of campus have developed reputations for having populations that might be more social or prone to partying, The Lantern’s analysis shows that these locations do not necessarily have higher numbers of reported crimes. Jennifer Welch, who lived in Siebert Hall on South Campus as a first-year, said she moved to Jones Tower on North Campus for her second year on campus. She said she expected a different atmosphere, especially after hearing the generalizations often used to describe both parts of campus. “I had heard that there are way more parties and bars closer to South Campus,” said Welch, a second-year in accounting and Chinese. “And North Campus is more academically based, so I thought, ‘Hey, I am an academically focused person, so I want to be

The average number of reported crimes in all residence halls for last academic year was two crimes per 100 students living in OSUowned housing. The five residence halls that had the highest number of reported crimes per 100 students for academic year 2015-16 were: • • • • •
Worthington Building (5.3 crimes reported per 100 students) Norton House (4.1 crimes reported per 100 students) Siebert Hall (4 crimes reported per 100 students) Baker Hall West (3.8 crimes reported per 100 students) Morrill Tower (3.4 crimes reported per 100 students) At least one hall from each por-

After being pushed to the limit in a hostile stadium last week against the Wisconsin Badgers, the Ohio State football team will be tested once again this Saturday. This time, the Buckeyes travel to State College, Pennsylvania, to face a stout Nittany Lions team. Penn State has earned a 4-2 record so far, picking up conference wins against Minnesota and Maryland. The sole conference loss this year, at the hands of Michigan, was the only game Penn State looked truly outmatched. Last time OSU faced the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley, fans were treated to a double overtime thriller that saw the Buckeyes come out on top. The game was decided on a Joey Bosa sack, and with freshman defensive end Nick Bosa on the team, it could be a twist of fate if the game comes down to the wire again.
Looking ahead to Saturday, here’s how Penn State compares to the Scarlet and Gray. Offense Christian Hackenberg is out, Trace McSorley is in. Hackenberg is now playing for the New York Jets, and McSorley is the go-to guy for Penn State coach James Franklin. McSorley, a redshirt sophomore from Ashburn, Virginia, has played well for Penn State, tossing eight touchdowns and just three interceptions. Currently, he ranks third in the Big Ten in terms of passing yards with 1,436. But the true backbone of the offense is sophomore running back Saquon Barkley. Last season, Barkley picked up 194 yards against OSU, providing much of the team’s offensive punch. This year is no different from last, as he sits atop the Big Ten, tied for rushing touchdowns. A fantastic athlete known for his leaping ability and agility, the SCOUTING CONTINUES ON 7

USG pushes again for mental health addendum to syllabi SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Lantern reporter cartwright.117@osu.edu The third try could be the charm for an effort to get getting a mental-health statement published at the bottom of each Ohio State course syllabus. Undergraduate Student Government has been working for more than two years to push Ohio State to include a statement on syllabi that lists the resource information for Office of Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Services. However, each time the resolution has passed, it has expired at the end of the academic year, so it has never been implemented. When resolutions expire at the end of each school year, USG must pass them again the next year to re-establish them, said Michael Frank, deputy director of health and safety for USG and a third-year in political science and economics. Frank is also the USG senator who sponsored resolution 49-R15, which passed earlier this year. However, Frank said he does not see the past expired resolutions as a letdown, but as a motivation to get this statement supported and used by faculty this year. The statement on the syllabus would include the CCS address, phone number, website and location, similar to the message from the Office of Student Life Disability Services. “The syllabus is your path to success in a class,” Frank said. “If you want to be able to succeed in it, you need to follow what’s in the syllabus and whether that’s test dates or resources are available for you, so why should mental health be treated any differently?” The director of CCS, Dr. Micky Sharma, who helped write the statement, was involved in writing last year’s statement as well. It was drafted to be similar to the disability services’ message, because of its clarity, said Danielle Di Scala, vice president of USG and a fourth-year in political sci-
ence. “You recognize (the disability services statement) everywhere because it’s consistent, because it’s concise, because it effectively gets that information across,” she said. “Which is why it was so important that we collaborated with Dr. Sharma.” USG hopes that putting CCS information on something that all students receive will increase the chances of someone in need seeing the information they can use for help. “If this can save one student and make one or five or 10 students aware that we have these resources that they would have otherwise not seen ... that’s why we do it,” Di Scala said. “If it can help anybody, why not?” Dr. Natalie Lester, director of Psychiatric Emergency Services at the Wexner Medical Center, said midterms and exams are particularly stressful times when mental-health problems might be present, adding that these are also times when students will refer back to their course syllabi. “A student with a mental-health concern may not think to look up contact information for the counseling center, and they may not even know that the university has a counseling center,” Lester said. “But if they see the contact information on their syllabi, where the information is readily accessible, that may prompt them to reach out and access help, putting them on the path to treatment and wellness.” Frank said he was motivated to sponsor the legislation by his own struggles with mental health, which inspire him to help others who share similar issues. “As I grew and got more comfortable with the situation ... to be honest, I gave less of a shit,” Frank said. “I have mental-health problems, and it’s not an issue. And I am going to tell you: I don’t think it reflects poorly on me, like I used to.”

sexual assault-related incidents. Other crimes considered “criminal offenses” in The Clery Act, such as aggravated robbery, arson and burglary, made up 2 percent of the reported crimes that academic year. The Clery Act requires that colleges and universities that offer federal financial-aid programs make information regarding college campus crime more readily available by reporting crimes that occur on campus and, in some cases, around campus areas. Miscellaneous crimes that are not specifically mentioned in The Clery Act — which range from breaking and entering to public urination — accounted for more than 12 percent of reported crimes. Requests from The Lantern to interview employees at these individual residence halls were declined. Worthington Building Located on South Campus, Worthington Building houses approximately 130 students each year, according to data provided by the Office of Student Life. Lantern analysis shows that during academic year 2015-16, seven crimes were reported at this hall, which equates to 5.3 crimes per 100 students. The most commonly reported crime was theft. Norton House Of the seven crimes reported at Norton House during academic year 2015-16, five were theft-related incidents. The other reported crimes were one report of disorderly conduct and one report of menacing by stalking. This North Campus residence hall houses approximately 170 students, and the per capita crime rate is 4.1 crimes reported per 100 students.

4.0 crimes reported per 100 students. The South Campus residence hall normally houses about 300 students each year. The 12 crimes reported during academic year 2015-16 included five reports related to possession of drugs or underage alcohol consumption and three reports of theft. Baker Hall West Also located on South Campus, Baker Hall West houses about 415 students each year. Its per capita rate of reported crimes per 100 students was 3.8. Of the 16 crimes, during academic year 2015-16, half were related to possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia. Other reports included four theft-related incidents. Morrill Tower Morrill Tower is located on West Campus and is home to approximately 1,230 students. During academic year 2015-16, the per capita rate was 3.4 crimes reported per 100 students. More than 40 percent of the 42 crimes reported were thefts. Other reports included 12 reports of drug- or alcohol-related offenses, six reports of disorderly conduct and two reports of burglary.

Hedman said the Department of Public Safety’s security division regularly patrols residence halls and surrounding areas seven days a week. Arnold said she has been working with University Police to file a report for her missing bike, which she estimated cost around $500. Recently, she said, an officer contacted her to let her know that a camera caught the theft on video. Arnold added that she plans to pursue criminal charges and is now hoping for the bike’s return. “I hope that they either find it or some form of retribution will come out of it,” she said. “Hopefully … if I do get it back, I am going to put it right back where it was. I just will use a U-lock and hope for a different result.”

Ohio State departments team up for ‘Dido and Aeneas’ DOMINIQUE JOHNSON Lantern reporter johnson.6289@osu.edu The Ohio State School of Music and Department of Dance are coming together for the first time in years to perform a grand opera. Music and dance students are set to premiere their production of “Dido and Aeneas” Thursday. According to the Department of Music website, the show is a combination of music and drama intertwined with vibrant dance and choral writing. A. Scott Parry, director of OSU Opera and Lyric Theatre and the director of the show, said he chose this opera with the idea of a collaborative project. “It’s really great to utilize so many different points of view and to bring (the performance) to so many different constituencies,” he said. “I think that’s always a strength of any production — bringing together a lot of different ranges (of different crafts).” He also chose this project in an effort to provide diversity in the music school’s repertoire. Parry said he likes the opera show’s focus on the storytelling of the movement and the visual orientation of color and emotion. “The idea of how color and

to graduate students. During the audition process, she said she was looking for students majoring in dance who also had some acting ability, since the performance has more acting than they usually do in their dance pieces. “The dancers are portraying characters through their movements,” she said. “The dancers are, in a way, trying to help the
story move along. It’s very integrated. The movement changes a lot from very kind of classical and pretty to very grotesque and kind of asymmetrical.” She also said the show has contemporary dance, but it also has a lot of ballet connections since the music is classical. Kristina Caswell MacMullen, the conductor of the orchestra,
said this opera was a work she had always greatly admired and wanted to conduct, especially with the emphasis on the chorus. “The chorus is so critical to the musical landscape,” she said. “To accompany most of the soloists we are using a 12-string guitar, called a theorbo, which is a more classical type of banjo, but in real life it is quite huge.” Parry said most of the students involved in the production have never done a classical opera like this before. “I love the idea of education and bringing awareness to students to do something that they never would have done before,” he said. “I love the way that music and theater and dance and visual arts all come together to do storytelling and the way that engages the artist with the community.” The opera will premiere at 8 p.m. on Thursday and run through Sunday, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Barnett Theatre in Sullivant Hall. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for students, senior citizens, OSU Alumni Association members, staff and faculty. Tickets are available via the OSU Theatre box office and Ticketmaster.
Colbie Caillat bringing a taste of Malibu to Columbus DOMINIQUE JOHNSON Lantern reporter johnson.6289@osu.edu Colbie Caillat is bringing the sound of the beaches of Malibu to Columbus. The two-time Grammy award-winning singer’s tour, The Malibu Sessions Acoustic Tour, is making a stop at the Jo Ann Davidson Theatre on Saturday. The tour is in support of Caillat’s new album, “The Malibu Sessions.” Everything is different about this tour, Caillat said. She said she is enjoying herself more than on any previous tours, as she used to be very worried about what people thought, making the experience less enjoyable. “I am doing my own hair and makeup, or lack thereof,” Caillat said. “Not that I don’t care, I just don’t have a worry that I need to be a certain way. I packed for the tour the night before we left, and I’m wearing my everyday clothes on stage. This time it’s just relaxed and laid back. I’m already feeling the enjoyment of that. I’m having a good time.” “The Malibu Sessions” is Caillat’s first album to be released with her own independent label, PlummyLou Records. She founded the label — which she named after her dogs Plummy and Lou — after parting ways with her former label, Republic Records.
“This time, it’s just relaxed and laid back. I’m already feeling the enjoyment of that. I’m having a good time.” Colbie Caillat Singer-songwriter
“The more successful that we got, the more they wanted me to change as the artist that I was,” Caillat said. “They wanted me to be more of a pop artist, someone different than I was, instead of embracing the lane that I was in.” Caillat said “The Malibu Sessions” was actually written and recorded about three-and-a-half years ago. At the time, her label did not think the album was commercially viable enough and turned it down. She would go on to write her most recent album, “Gypsy Heart,” under the label in 2014. She said it is important to change and grow as an artist, but she did not want to completely abandon her old songwriting style. “(With my last album) I loved what I wrote and came out with, but it wasn’t what my fans are used to,” Caillat said. “It was a different genre, I guess, and I wasn’t really

She rented a house in her hometown for two months and recorded the entire album there with her longtime collaborator Jason Reeves and producer John Shanks. She said they recorded songs whenever they felt like it, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. Caillat said this process reminded her of the recording of her debut album, “Coco.”
“It was in my hometown, and it was a fun process everyday,” she said. “I would drive five minutes and record for 12 hours or longer. We had nowhere else to want to go. We just wanted to be there.” Caillat said with her four studio albums following, driving for an hour through Los Angeles traffic to go record a vocal was not something she wanted to do anymore. “I told myself that, for this record, I am going to make a promise to myself that I’m going to record it the way that I want to,” she said. “There’s no stress involved.” Rich Corsi, vice president of programming at CAPA said the organization, which runs multi-
ple theaters in Columbus, had the type of relatively small, intimate venues that Caillat’s team was looking for. “I was very happy to get the call that she wanted to perform in one of our theaters,” he said. “We just always want to make sure the artists’ experience in Columbus is always a good one.” The singer-songwriter said she can get stressed out very easily, but her Columbus fans make her feel comfortable. “They’re great,” Caillat said. “When the audience is super fun and attentive, when they shout things and sing the songs, it makes me feel like I can have a better banter with them. I feel like this audience does that.” The show will begin at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Special guest performers include singer Justin Young and the band High Dive Heart. Tickets are on sale for $38.50 and can be purchased online on Ticketmaster or at the Jo Ann Davidson Theatre box office.

Hidden Places’ finds groove on first EP ADRIEN LAC Lantern reporter lac.3@osu.edu Three young men, a guitar, drums, bass and musical chemistry is the recipe for Hidden Places’ first EP, “Three Step,” released in September. Drummer Matt McCroskey described the band’s sound as “fast, jittery and almost dancy.” The post-punk vibe of Hidden Places largely comes from how Kiko Cvetanovski, a third-year in nutrition, and David Fuller, a third-year in journalism, work together. Cvetanovski and Fuller have been working together on songs since 2009, but Hidden Places was born only over a year ago. There isn’t just one songwriter in Hidden Places — its songwriting process is collaborative and fully based on improvisation and spontaneity. “We just go downstairs and totally improvise,” Fuller said. “Then we say, ‘wow that sounds cool, let’s work on that.’” The three musicians take pride in how well they work together on the songs. “It really translates into our sound, because it is really out of nowhere,” Cvetanovski said. But the band’s favorite environment is definitely not within the walls of their rehearsal basement. Hidden Places is meant

swered, ‘I like how it sounds like shit,’” Fuller said. Building up on their experience with shows, the band released a more developed version of their work in September. Now it is currently working on the more ambitious project of releasing a longer EP that will reflect its progress in songwriting. “(The) Columbus scene is really good, so you have to do something really great to stick out, or something really really bad,” Fuller said. “We’d prefer the former.” The healthy competition that exists between the artists of Columbus constitutes a real motivation for the band to surpass itself, Fuller said. “The first competition is against our former selves,” Cvetanovski said.

The group said a concentration of energy is important to them. “We should be moving on stage; we should be like the actors,” Cvetanovski said. “The audience is observing us, they should be seeing us move with the songs.” The band’s first months were dedicated
almost exclusively to live performance. With only phone recordings of their songs, it managed to get up to four shows in January. “Just the fact that we got all the shows that we got with phone recordings baffles me,” Fuller said. As a matter of fact, this “shittiness” of the recordings is precisely what lured McCroskey into joining the band. “I sent him the recordings and he an-

YouTube personality presents book with a lot of ‘Hart’ ELIZABETH TZAGOURNIS Lantern reporter tzagournis.24@osu.edu Although she might have stumbled upon fame rather than pursued it, YouTube personality Hannah Hart has used her platform to share her life story. Hart will be doing a book signing at the Ohio State Barnes & Noble store on Friday for her memoir “Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded,” which was released on Tuesday. “The reason why I wanted to write it is that everyone has a story to be told,” she said. “If I’ve been given the chance to try and say something, I must say it, otherwise I’m just really squandering opportunity.” The creator and star of the web series, “My Drunk Kitchen,” has worked on various projects, including her two YouTube channels, a New York Times best-selling parody cookbook, two films, an animated series, a world tour, a comedy show and guest judge spot on “Food Network Star.” Her “My Drunk Kitchen” series consists of Hart drunkenly teaching the audience a recipe. Her main YouTube channel @MyHarto currently has 2.52 million subscribers. Although Hart released the parody cookbook “My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with Your Gut” in 2014, her latest book takes on a more serious note.

the relationship between Hart and her parents. Hart called the recent positive feedback from fans and reviews “a total honor” as she put so much thought and effort into the entire book. “I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard on something,” she said. “I’m really proud of it from start to finish.” The author champions a message to her fans: “Happiness comes from within — and all that jazz.” Hart said she hopes people take this idea from her book. “You just can’t ever stop, no matter how slowly you go, don’t stop,” she said. “People who find disatisfaction in their lives, they look at it and they realize they have no one to blame but themselves.” Hart said her future plans include engaging in more movies featuring LGBT characters, as she said she believes that gay people are vastly underrepresented within the film world. Students can attend the event this Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. Barnes & Noble will be distributing up to 500 wristbands Friday morning with distribution being first-come, first-served starting at 8 a.m, according to their website. Purchase of a wristband is $23.99 and includes the meet-and-greet, a photo with Hart and a copy of “Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded” for Hart to sign.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
OSU prepares for Michigan showdown AARON TOMICH Lantern reporter tomich.17@osu.edu The senior members of the Ohio State women’s soccer team will have a chip on their shoulder as they head north to Ann Arbor this Saturday. The Buckeyes (9-5-3, 3-3-3 Big Ten) face off versus the Michigan Wolverines (9-3-3, 5-2-2 Big Ten) at 7:30 p.m. in a rivalry game that has not been played in Columbus in four straight seasons. “This is unfortunate that this senior class has never been able to play Michigan at home in their four-year career,” coach Lori Walker said with a tone of slight frustration. “And that’s a little added feel for us. We’ll just go up there and play as if it’s our home game.” Coach Walker made it a point this week to not complain about the situation, move on and put the best foot forward to come home with a win. Michigan has been a solid team this season, though it has hit a bit of a slump in its past four games, SHOE FROM 8

said. “I was going through some stuff with my mother and I had just had my child two days after my injury. I was going through a lot, man. I was real frustrated.” As he stood in a walking boot and crutches on the sideline watching his teammates win a national championship, Wilson said he took that as a sign from God SCOUTING FROM 1
shifty Barkley could create problems for the Buckeyes. “He’s a great running back,” said OSU junior defensive end Jalyn Holmes. “We just gotta attack the fundamentals in practice this week. Penn State has a great running back, so we just get back to the basics and we’ll be cool.” The offensive line for Penn State is a force at home in Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions allow just one sack per game to opponents when they are at home as opposed to five per game on the road. With an offensive line that keeps pressure off its quarterback when at home, and a stud of a running back in Barkley, Penn State’s offense could give problems to the Buckeyes. Defense Any time a team allows over 380 yards per game on defense, it can be a problem. That problem can be made worse when the unit fails to create takeaways. Unfortunately for the Nittany Lions, they have problems in both
with losses to Illinois and Northwestern and ties with Wisconsin and Minnesota. OSU’s focus in practice this week was centered around putting the pieces together both on defense and offense. Senior forward Nichelle Prince emphasized this focus during practice this week. “We’re not trying to change a lot of things,” Prince said. “We want to stick to our own game plan, but it’s just sharpening up a few of the small details.” Prince leads the Buckeyes with 53 total shots on the season, and plays a key role in the offensive attack for OSU. Prince emphasized her main goal for the matchup against Michigan as being to finish on opportunities presented during offensive attack. Coach Walker noted offensive and defensive tactics that are key to success versus Michigan Saturday night. “Having great offensive pressure and putting it on Michigan, as well as maintaining really good defensive shape and defensive transition, is the most important thing,” Walker said.
Sophomore goalkeeper Devon Kerr had her first start of the season against Rutgers last Sunday, completing a shutout of the strong Rutgers offense. Kerr is set to start again Saturday, and with recognition of her growth in play and maturity coming from her coach. “Her ability to make saves is tremendous,” Walker said. “She is fearless catching crosses — there’s so many qualities about her that help us.” Kerr became the third goalkeeper for OSU to start a game this season, as redshirt senior Jillian McVicker’s early-season injury led to an opportunity for redshirt junior Megan Deldernick to step up. “Megan has done a fantastic job LANTERN FILE PHOTO for us in stepping in in the situaThen-junior forward Nichelle Prince (7) dribbles the ball tion with McVicker,” Walker said. during a game against Minnesota Sept. 17, 2015. “I don’t know that there’s another team in the country that has three victory against Michigan, while goalkeepers as capable as we do, focusing on postseason implicaand that is something that I’m tions. proud of.” “It is Ohio State and Michigan,” Prince expressed excitement for Prince said. “But it is also for our the matchup against the Wolver- season and where we want to go JOIN OUR MAILING LIST www.thelantern.com/email ines, keeping in the back of her for postseason.

of his student staff members, he also has to plan for other events that might be scheduled during the season. “Sometimes clean up on Sunday morning is actually scheduled for Saturday after the game so we’re ready for an event we might host on Sunday,” Smith said. Even back to back home weeks
create additional challenges for Smith and his team. “Back to backs are a higher paced week,” Smith said. “It’s some longer hours during the week to try and catch up to get it the way it needs to be for the next game.” Last year, in a football season that included five home games in
a six week stretch, Ohio Stadium hosted more than 750,000 guests — and that’s just for football games. When considering all the additional private gatherings, events and concerts that take place in the stadium throughout the year, more than one million visitors pass through the gates of the ‘Shoe
each year. As Smith notes of the work he does with his staff, “We’re more of behind the scenes.” This might be true during the week leading up to home games, but on those fall Saturdays the ‘Shoe and all the crew’s hard work takes center stage, if only for a few hours.
that better days were ahead. Heading into the remaining half of his final season of college football, Wilson is enjoying his most successful season yet. He already has a career-high five total touchdowns (four receiving, one rushing), has accumulated 16 catches for 232 yards and has run the ball 12 times for 75 yards. He is on track to shatter his career mark of
receptions and receiving yards in a season. What has enabled Wilson to be a high-impact player is his maturity through his injury. Barrett said he doesn’t see Wilson get frustrated any more than any other receiver. He just fits right in. “It’s almost like we overlook one or the other between Dontre and Curtis. They’re one and the
same,” Barrett said. “They’re both dynamic players that do a lot for our offense that create mismatches with linebacker and get up on the safeties and make guys miss all over the field.” Saturday’s game against Penn State will be another difficult test for the Buckeyes, given an environment that Wilson said is the most impressive he has seen as a
player. Lingering foot injury, or no injury, Wilson is doing what he can to make the most of his senior season. “I always tell myself I’m going to take it week by week and day by day,” he said. “(I’m) using all of the resources I can for the final games and final months here.”
areas. Penn State gives up far too many yards while creating just 1.5 turnovers per game. Junior safety Marcus Allen leads the team in tackles after being named an honorable mention All-Big Ten last season. Against OSU last season, Allen picked up eight tackles. Redshirt junior defensive end Garrett Sickels is the lead man to get to the quarterback for Penn State, and currently leads the team with 2.5 sacks. However, this category, like multiple other defensive statistics, is severely lacking for the Nittany Lions, as they rank 77th in the nation in sacks per game. With a defensive unit that fails to create turnovers and allows chunk plays by the dozen, OSU redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett could be gearing up for a field day. Barrett said he trusts in the ability of the offense to make changes to ensure a big day. “I always have faith in our adjustments and what we’re trying to do on offense,” Barrett said. “I
think the coaches do a great job of making those in-game adjustments and we do a good job of coaching it up on the sidelines.” Overview The 2014 edition of OSU vs Penn State provided a few tense moments for both Buckeye and Nittany Lion fans. Last year, the Buckeyes handled James Franklin’s squad easily in a 38-10 victory. While OSU is returning to Beaver Stadium amid a Penn State White Out, the players at skill positions for the Buckeyes are far too numerous for the game to be a repeat of 2014. McSorley has played fairly well, but has never faced the OSU secondary that has 11 interceptions this year, and puts constant pressure on the quarterback. Barkley might be the saving grace for Penn State, but OSU proved last week the team is ready for anything.

DOTTING THE “i”
Wilson shining in senior season JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu With under six minutes left and down 23-20 to Wisconsin, Ohio State redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett was staring down a 2nd-and-11 from OSU’s 32-yard line. When the Buckeyes need a play, it’s usually either Barrett, junior H-back Curtis Samuel or redshirt sophomore wide receiver Noah Brown who gets the ball. This time, it wasn’t any of them. Senior H-back Dontre Wilson was matched up against Wisconsin redshirt freshman linebacker Zack Baun. Barrett stood in the pocket, checking off his receivers before he saw Wilson turn a button hook into a go route down the sideline. Wilson hauled it in for 43 yards, which ultimately set up the game-tying field goal before OSU won 30-23 in overtime. After nearly giving away a muffed punt earlier in the game, Wilson recovered to give OSU a chance to win the game. When the team went into the locker room after the victory, Wilson was called upon to stand up in
front of the team in recognition of his play. The message was simple. He told the team he was grateful for what had just occurred, but that game was not the goal for OSU. “It wasn’t about me at that moment. It’s a team effort,” Wilson said on Monday. “Even though I made that play, it’s still a big team effort. It wasn’t about me, it was about the team.” For Wilson, that play was as significant as any in his career in Columbus. It was even more significant given that he still has not recovered from his broken foot suffered against Michigan State during his sophomore year in 2014. Over the offseason, Wilson said he went to the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon to have a pair of cleats custom-made for him. Wilson’s cleats are wider than the team-distributed ones, and limit the pain on his foot. OSU coach Urban Meyer said during Monday’s press conference that Wilson still wasn’t quite 100 percent and often doesn’t practice early in the week. Wilson told the media he’s probably about 95 per-
cent, but it’s certainly something he feels out on the field. “When you break a foot, it’s tough, especially a skilled athlete,” Meyer said. “I just love his unselfish approach right now, and the fact he made a play to help us go win a game. He flipped the ball
to the official, went back, and almost made another great one to help us. I like where he’s at, and he’s a team player that’s doing the best he can.” For an athlete such as Wilson, a broken foot is not only a physical obstacle, but a mental barrier.
Any athlete at OSU will tell you that it’s easy to get frustrated or get down on yourself, however for Wilson, it was much more than a little adversity. “When I first had my injury, I was going through a lot,” Wilson WILSON CONTINUES ON 7

How the ‘Shoe gears up for gameday CHRIS FIELD For The Lantern field.79@osu.edu Seven times each fall, more than 100,000 fans and students flock to Woody Hayes Drive to spend a few hours in Ohio Stadium for game day. Few realize just how much time, effort and planning goes into hosting games at the nation’s third largest college football stadium, or, more importantly, how the waste of more than 100,000 people gets cleaned up in time for the next game. Mike Smith is the coordina-
tor of building services for Ohio Stadium and he’s helped keep the ‘Shoe running for more than 12 years. Part of his role includes managing the operations team, which is a small student-employee workforce that keeps the stadium clean and ready for each home game and event. Smith knows better than anyone how much behind-the-scenes work goes into preparing for an event with so many patrons. “What goes into it … having an event happen, I didn’t even realize it until I started working here,” Smith said. Smith’s game day begins about
eight hours before each kickoff as he helps law enforcement officers conduct a security sweep of the stadium. This early-morning walkthrough lasts anywhere from three to four hours, and, after the ‘Shoe is deemed safe, the full stadium crew begins to arrive. “We have 28 to 30 students on staff, and that’s just operations,” he said. These student employees work throughout the week and help to keep Ohio Stadium clean and prepared for upcoming events. Working around the class schedules of 30 students throughout the week requires a lot of flexibility, but

Saturdays and Sundays are mandatory for every staff member. In the hours before the game, Smith and his crew work to put the finishing touches on the stadium before the gates open. This includes setting up benches, fans, pylons and field goal nets on the field as well as barricades, trash cans and signs at each and every gate. The operations staff works throughout the week to make sure the stadium is ready ahead of time to minimize the work that needs to be done on Saturday morning. Once the game kicks off, most of the student crew can relax while Smith continues his management role. While the Buckeyes play, Smith has to be ready for any potential issue that might arise within the facility. “Any building issues, say an elevator stops or has an issue … or any lighting issues, we have personnel on standby,” he said. Smith and his team don’t stay long after games, usually just an hour after each game. Once the fans leave, they return bright and early on Sunday to begin the real work: cleanup. Weather permitting; the cleanup crew arrives around 6 a.m. Sunday mornings to begin the bulk of the cleanup joined by the members of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. “ROTC, which is our main, bulk cleaning group, they bring over 100 to 120 people and, basically, they are our workforce,”
Smith said. This work has been a mandatory part of the NROTC program for quite some time. “It’s been us for decades,” said Midshipman Craig Heim, a thirdyear in aerospace and astronautical engineering. “There’s been alumni, who are active-duty Navy now, who have come back and asked, ‘Do you guys still clean the stadium?’” This NROTC workforce allows the stands to be cleared of trash and debris in just five to six hours each Sunday morning. “They do a great job,” Smith said. “They hand pick (trash) because of our Zero Waste program … they’ll have a recycling bag and a compost bag.” During the 2010 season, Ohio Stadium diverted 46 percent of all the waste generated at home games from landfills. By the 2015 season, four years after the start of the Zero Waste program, more than 96 percent of all waste created in the ‘Shoe was diverted from landfills and diverted to nearby recycling and composting centers. This sustainability campaign was a massive undertaking and, at first, Smith admitted there was a learning curve to the new processes for his team. But now, it is second nature. “It doesn’t take too much longer,” Smith said. “It did initially, but you work through it to come up with new ideas and different tactics.” SHOE CONTINUES ON 7
