New sexual misconduct training launched

University strongly encouraging online training for faculty and staff as part of Buckeyes ACT KYLE POWELL Design Editor powell.639@osu.edu Ohio State faculty members received an email last week encouraging them to complete voluntary online training. The training is being offered to help faculty and staff prevent and respond to “sexual misconduct and relationship violence,” and it complements the enacting of a facultywide obligation to report instances of sexual assault. The faculty training is being administered as the latest in a series of the university’s Buckeyes ACT programs, which together with student training launched earlier this year and other initiatives, compromise OSU’s comprehensive plan to combat sexual assault. The facultywide email from Joseph Stein-

metz, OSU executive vice president and provost, and co-authored by Andraea Douglass, senior vice president of Talent, Culture and Human Resources, expressed the intent and necessity of the training: “At Ohio State, there is no place for sexual misconduct or violence of any kind, and the university is aggressively working to prevent these issues.” “We’re really trying to raise awareness of the issue,” said Title IX coordinator Kellie Brennan. “(The training) is really meant to be a complement to the student training launched earlier this year.” Unlike the student training, which will be mandatory for incoming students during their first-year orientation, the faculty training remains voluntary, yet “strongly encouraged.” “There’s a lot of structural things and infrastructure changes that need to happen before

we can make it mandatory,” Brennan said. The training, according to the OSU Title IX website, requires a 45-60 minute commitment to complete. It gives examples and descriptions of sexual harassment, relationship violence, sexual assault, and outlines ways to respond during similar scenarios. The email to staff also laid out the goals of the initiative: “In addition to ensuring that you can fulfill your reporting obligations as an Ohio State employee, we hope this training helps you to think deeply about this topic, and that you are able to translate the benefits into helping co-workers, family and friends,” the email said. “We are really encouraging employees to take the training so they would know how to support someone that could come forward to them,” Brennan said.

Dedication ceremony held for OSU Veteran Lounge BROOKE PROFITT Lantern reporter profitt.18@osu.edu Ohio State veteran students now have a renovated space to call their own. On Monday the OSU Student-Veteran Lounge in Smith Lab 1132A held a dedication ceremony for the renovated space. Renovations of the lounge include updated appliances, new furniture, fresh paint and larger lockers for use by veteran students. These renovations were funded by donations from Accenture, a

global strategy, management and technology consulting, technology services and operations company, according to an OSU press release. Mike Carrell, assistant provost and director of the Ohio State Office of Military and Veterans Services, who spoke at the event, said the lounge has seen an increase in use since the renovations were completed in August. The lounge has been open for several years and was originally furnished with hand-me-down furniture, but the renovations are making it a more popular and welVETS CONTINUES ON 2

Wayne Carlson, Mike Salvino and Mike Carrell spoke at the dedication ceremony for the Ohio State Student-Veteran Lounge.

Ohio State student Jillian Yuricich will share her first astronaut training experience with audiences across the country on Dec. 19. The fourth-year in aerospace engineering will be featured in a season two episode of Fox’s Xploration Outer Space, which will be available on Hulu for free on Dec. 20, hosted by Emily Calandrelli. Yuricich’s training lasted five days during fall semester at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The astronaut-training program, called PoSSUM Academy, was instructed by former NASA astronauts and geared toward young students who are passionate about space exploration.

Polar exhibit provides handson adventure IAN BAILEY Lantern reporter bailey.615@osu.edu As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the Polar Archives, the Byrd Polar Research Center has opened an interactive gallery in Thompson Library for students to explore. The gallery Mysteries In Ice, an exploration in polar research and excursion, aims to help students and visitors understand how these studies affect our understanding of the Earth’s climate. Lynn Lay, one of several curators for the exhibit and a librarian with the BPRC, said she is happy to be able to bring this experience to students who are interested in exploring the immersive gallery. “The exhibit has current research that is happening right now at the research center, as well as several artifacts from the polar archives that students can come touch, explore and really be a part of and experience the process,” Lay said. Lay said students will be able to learn about daily life in harsh climates and some of the achievements of the different explorers involved with the research.

Jason Cervenec, the education and outreach coordinator for the BPRC, said that polar expeditions played a lead role in the pop culture of the 1920s and 1930s. As a result, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, a polar explorer and research center’s namesake, created a game for players to learn more about the expeditions and scientists involved, which the curators wanted to share in the new exhibit. Visitors can participate in a life-size version of the board game, “Little America.” “To feature ‘Little America,’ we collected biographies from our current researchers and the ones from the game to allow visitors to ‘play the game’ and try to figure out, through a series of clues, which explorer they had been given at the start of the exhibit,” Cervenec said. “It’s a lot of fun to add to the already very interactive exhibit.” One of the gallery’s central items will be an ice core the research center donated for visitors to observe. Stored in a deep-freeze cooler, the core shows collected dirt and air bubbles that help date the ice and give information about the climate during the time the ice formed. Cervenec said he is very excited to have the core on display, as it is different than a typical ice core. “It’s a very rare core, and is part of a longer core that the team drilled in 1992 from China when they first opened to research teams from the United States,” he said. “And after some recent research done from the same area, we think that it could be a core of the oldest ice on the planet.” Along with the gallery, Lay said members of the research center will hold interactive demonstrations on ice flow movement using flubber, a visco-elastic material, as well as show films and documentaries at the Wexner Center for the

Arts about the research expeditions throughout the remainder of the semester. The research center will also host open public tours to provide visitors with the full experience of the work that Ohio State does in arctic research. “It’s a very exciting time for the research center, and we are so excited to be able to create and share these fun exhibits for students,” Cervenec said. “Come take part in it, try on the gear, play the board game, and share in the incredible experiences we’ve had of going into the field and conducting this research.”

The program will show Yuricich going through a series of hands-on training activities, including flying in an aerobatic aircraft, operating a simulator in a real, pressurized space suit and hypobaric trainings. She said the experience was amazing. “I absolutely loved it,” Yuricich said. “I had a great time filming with Emily… and the training itself was invaluable to me.” Yuricich and five other students were the first class of students selected to experience this type of astronaut training, which in the past was open mostly to professionals. “It’s a brilliant play on their part that they’re starting to open it to undergraduate students,” Yuricich said. “The earlier you could have this type of experience, the better.” Calandrelli said in an email the program wanted to get younger students involved in the Xploration Outer Space adventure. “These are the people who will influence the space industry in the future and we really wanted to highlight them on the show,” Calandrelli said.

ing occurs over a period of two years, not just five days. “It really showed me what it took to be an astronaut,” Yuricich said. “It gave me a good taste of what the training would look like in the future … (and I) reconfirmed that I want to be an astronaut.” Calandrelli said that working with Yuricich was a lot of fun and that she is an “extremely passionate, positive person” and a natural when it comes to talking about science and technology topics on camera. “We chose Jillian because her passion about space exploration came through her video better than any of the other applicants,” Calandrelli said. “After reviewing all the applicants, it was unanimous for those of us at Xploration Outer Space. Jillian was the clear winner.” Yuricich said in her video that she wanted to be an ambassador of space exploration and that she was totally convinced by Elon Musk’s famous analogy explaining why space exploration is important to

the survival of human species. “On your computer, if you have a hard drive, that is an important backup to all your files … Elon Musk looks at human race in the same way. We need to back up our species on another planet,” Yuricich said. “It’s no longer just because we can, but there is a real mission to do that to protect the human species in case something terrible happens on Earth.” Yuricich also said she wants to be an active proponent of space exploration because she believes it’s a way of promoting STEM literacy (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) among the public. “I think it’s really important for the citizens not only of the United States, but also of the world, to be literate in STEM and take that into account when voting,” Yuricich said. In the past, Yuricich made the news as the first OSU student to win an Astronaut Scholarship awarded by Astronaut Scholarship Foundation for the 2014-15 academic year. She has also interned at NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley and Naval Air Warfare Center in Maryland. As a female working in the aerospace engineering field, Yuricich said she has never seen her gender as an obstacle to keep her from achieving her goal, even though she recognizes that there’s a real issue of females being underrepresented in the workplace of engineering. “Just because I’m a female doesn’t make me any better or any worse at it … I hope people see my accomplishments rather than my gender.” Yuricich said. “What I need to remember is that I just need to do my mission here and get through all these things. The stars will always be there waiting for me.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Clearing the haze on Issue 3 As a Republican, people might not be surprised to hear that I am against Issue 3, the initiative to legalize recreational marijuana set to appear on the ballot this fall. They may, however, be surprised that I am not against Issue 3 because I think it’s morally wrong or because I think “those darn youths” will go on a frenzy of crime and unprotected sex, per the usual stereotype. That’s absolutely not the case. I recognize the possible economic, medical and social benefits in legalization. I understand that bad drug policy has led to the incarceration of an embarrassingly high portion of the American citizenry. I also realize that marijuana has legitimate medical benefits and can help treat children with seizures, veterans with PTSD and more. But let’s clear the haze around Issue 3. This initiative is not meant to help these

people. It is meant to help a small group of self-interested businessmen get rich quick. What this proposal really does is establish a constitutional monopoly on growing marijuana and dictates who can and cannot enter the market. This is not how democracy should work and we should stand up and shoot this initiative down. Ballot initiatives are meant to be a tool for putting power in the hands of the people, not taking it away and placing it in the hands of a few. We must stop these individuals from hijacking our Constitution for their own interests. As a Republican, I highly value the American values of innovation and entrepreneurship. These values have built this great country. Allowing a handful of self-interested billionaires to deceive hard-working Ohioans and set up a market

where they have total control over supply goes directly against these values. We must not pass a law that turns our Constitution into a straitjacket on entrepreneurship. I am glad to see that the College Democrats at The Ohio State University, after doing their due diligence, now agree with us on this issue and have also urged voters to vote no on Issue 3. Let’s make sure voters know that this corrupt attempt does not work for the people but against them. There may be a time to legalize marijuana use to a degree, but it should be done the right way. Whether you support legalization or not, Vote NO on Issue 3.

What’s a ‘Good Kid’? New play wrestles with national issues on local scale, stage SADE TAVAREZ Lantern reporter tavarez.4@osu.edu

Cassette tapes at Used Kids Records, located at 1980 N. High St.

HANNAH HERNER | LANTERN REPORTER

Cassette comeback

“This is a play that has a huge impact; it’s telling a story that matters, it’s close to home.”

Local record stores see retro tech revival HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu NBC did a report on them, Urban Outfitters is carrying them, and there’s even a whole day devoted to them. Some might say that cassette tapes are making a comeback. But according to a local record store, they’ve never left. “For our store, we’ve never stopped selling cassettes. There’s always been an audience no matter what. Whether it’s because they’re cheap, you still have a boombox, you have them in your crappy car or you just love the format,” said Ryan Eilbeck, manager of Used Kids Records. On Saturday, Used Kids — located at 1980 N. High St. — celebrated Cassette Store Day, an event that started in the U.K. three years ago and has spread worldwide. Eilbeck, a 2007 Ohio State graduate who studied English education and is the buyer for the store, brought in close to 100 new and used tapes to combine with the 500 tapes the store already had for the event. People were also invited to swap their personal mixtapes. In the end, Used Kids sold more than 300 cassette tapes in total on Saturday. This is a large departure from the five tapes a week they usually sell, as estimated by Eilbeck. Raad Shubaily, an employee at Magnolia Thunderpussy, a record store at 1155 N. High St., said that their store sells even less — an estimated zero to three each week. They did not add or change anything for Cassette Store Day.

Shubaily, a 2011 OSU graduate who studied journalism, has been working at Magnolia since he graduated. He said they put out a box of old tapes they found in the store’s storage with the hope of getting a dollar for each of them. In the time that Shubaily has worked at Magnolia, he said there hasn’t been anyone asking about cassettes until more recently. “I don’t get it. I guess it’s coming back, or people want it to come back,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a niche thing, it’s never going to be extremely popular. The same thing is happening with vinyls, though, so you never know. I don’t think people are going to start collecting them the way that people buy records, though.”

“It’s the new, young bands that can’t afford to put out a vinyl. It’s quick and easy and they can do the recording and duplication themselves.” Greg Hall Owner of Used Kids Records

Eilbeck agrees that cassette tapes will not overtake vinyl records. “I can’t see it being as sustainable as the vinyl resurgence, just because the format itself and the equipment that you play it on does not hold up. It doesn’t stand the test of time,” he said. However, Eilbeck said that he is willing to put up with the “temper-

amental” tapes because they have nostalgic meaning to him. It is the first format he started listening to music on. He also noted that some like cassettes over vinyls because of how they look and the fact that they are smaller and easier to store. Besides nostalgia, some are attracted to the medium out of sheer utility. Owner of Used Kids Records, Greg Hall, and Eilbeck said that it is one of the cheapest ways for a band to release a record, citing bands like Saintseneca, the Sidekicks and Mosses as examples of local bands who have released tapes in recent history. “It’s the new, young bands that can’t afford to put out a vinyl. It’s quick and easy and they can do the recording and duplication themselves,” Hall said. Beyond that, some simply don’t have the means of listening to music on a more modern device. “For a while the only thing that sustained (cassette tapes) was young people buying old cars that had cassette slots,” Hall said. Eilbeck said that people turn in a lot of classic rock and old country tapes to Used Kids but tend to hold onto metal, hip-hop and more obscure punk tapes because those are worth more. As the buyer for Used Kids, he said he orders according to what customers ask about. He said that people started asking about tapes around the time that the “Guardians of the Galaxy” soundtrack came out in August 2014 in the form of a cassette tape. “It was shocking how many people started asking for tapes and specifically the mix that appeared on

In August 2012, a small town in Ohio made headlines for a rape case. This week, the case and the issues that it raised take the big stage in the Ohio State production of “Good Kids.” “Good Kids” is a play that explores the concept of whether a person is a “good kid” or if they become a “bad kid” after doing a terrible thing. “Good Kids” is loosely based on the Steubenville High School rape case, said Zak Bainazarov, a fourth-year in computer science with a minor in theatre. The play starts with a group of high school students — four football players and seven female characters. They attend a party, and one of the girls, Chloe, is later raped by the football players.

that movie,” he said. “I was like, ‘Why would anyone care about that?’ and then BOOM, mainstream culture. They demand it.” Urban Outfitters recently added cassette tapes and players to their online store. The High Street location gave away a limited edition mixtape for Cassette Store Day. Urban Outfitters declined to comment on any plans to send more cassette tapes to the High Street location. Shubaily said that he did not like the fact that Urban Outfitters is carrying cassettes at all, and Eilbeck agreed. “They’re this huge corporation with endless money and one of their favorite things to do is coopt more interesting things from a subculture,” Eilbeck said. “They died in the mainstream, but people were making mix tapes and making tapes because they were cheap. (Urban Outfitters) adopt that idea and repackage it and try to sell it as ‘vintage,’ or ‘kitschy,’ or ‘coming back,’ and I do think that ruins the magic.”

“Good Kids” is part of the Big Ten Theatre Consortium where Big Ten schools commission female playwrights to create roles that help empower women. The playwright for “Good Kids” is Naomi Iizuka, head of playwrighting at the University of California-San Diego and one of the playwrights involved with the consortium. This is the first play to be put out by the consortium for production. Bainazarov is also one of the actors in “Good Kids.” “I really love acting, and this is a play that has a huge impact; it’s telling a story that matters, it’s close to home … A lot of us know someone who has, unfortunately, been in that situation. Bainazarov added that he hopes a story of this importance makes an impact in the community, big or small. He will be playing Ty, the character that actually initiates the rape in “Good Kids.” “It’s a really intense role because I have to play someone, who to me, is a horrible person. But, there is value in that because every day I get to explore depths of bad human emotions and human desires,” he said. Bainazarov added that he finds value in the chance to step out of his comfort zone and dive deeper into being an actor by playing this role. PLAY CONTINUES ON 6

OPINION

Miley Cyrus can’t stop, won’t stop, should stop SAMANTHA HOLLINGSHEAD Photo Editor hollingshead.34@osu.edu Long gone are the days when Disney star Miley Cyrus portrayed her split-personality TV character on the hit show “Hannah Montana” — or so we thought. While she no longer transforms into Hannah Montana, the performer does seem to be showcasing a crazier alter ego than fans from her early days are used to seeing. Over the last two years, it seems Miley has gone from crazy to crazier to just downright “dear God what is happening?” Miley was recently seen at James Franco’s Bar Mitzvah — a party put on by his best buddy Seth Rogen and his charity, Hilarity for Charity, benefitting the Alzheimer’s Association — this week wearing a shiny blue thong leotard, Star of David wrist cuffs and a rainbow-colored hair piece. It seems that the star is channeling her inner Lady Gaga and trying for the wow factor, and not the good kind. Although who would have known we as Americans would see the day where Lady Gaga would take off the meat suit to put on a classic gown and Miley would take down the pigtails to put on faux dreadlocks and a jewish-themed thong suit. But hey, Miley? While that might have worked for Gaga, crazy doesn’t look good on everyone. Take Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes for instance. Nobody wants to reschedule a concert because of a meeting with your probation officer or the judge. What happened to the Disney Miley? The one who sat in an interview and swore she would never do drugs or become like one of those “other girls.” While yes, we all say stupid things when we’re teenagers, it seems Miley isn’t holding true to her word at all. The star has been recorded numerous times smoking weed, cursing and participating in lewd

behavior — including in her new music video “Dooo It,” which, after viewing, I felt like I needed a sanitizer bath. Miley is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live this week, which is sure to poke fun at its host at some point in the show. Can she hold up to Tracy Morgan’s successful performance last week, or will she be a bust, like every outfit she’s worn in the last year? The singer is also rumored to be working on a naked concert with the Flaming Lips where not only will she be on stage naked, but as will the audience in the crowd. It seems condom sales might out-gross ticket sales on this one. Miley seems to be like the rebel child, acting out in a phase in her life — a phase that, like most, is sure to end hopefully soon. So Miley, put the tongue back in your mouth, put on some actual clothes and start making some real music again, because your music isn’t that bad. “We Can’t Stop,” “Party in the U.S.A.” and “Wrecking Ball” actually were crowd pleasers. And you could be one again too.

Chips with a strong dip are the key to your gameday viewing party ROBERT SCARPINITO Copy Chief scarpinito.61@osu.edu When it comes to viewing parties, an arguably strong contender for the most expected food could very well be many bags of chips and a nice, tasty dip. Chips and dip is a fairly universal idea, and it is versatile enough to fit into many diets. For example, cheese is typically used in many dips, either as the central ingredient like in queso dips or as a small addition like in taco-based dips. However, for people who are lactose intolerant or who simply don’t like cheese, there are many dips that don’t require it — like guacamole or hummus. The variety of dips are endless, and nearly anything can be an ingredient in a dip if done well. Fruits — like tomatoes, oranges and mangos for instance — make a great base for some salsas because of their inherent juiciness. Even meats can be used in dips, although they are typically shredded or pulled in some fashion and require some other ingredient, like cream cheese, to be the glue. Flavor profiles of entire meals, like pizza or cheeseburgers, can be captured and emulated through a dip as well. Take this week’s featured recipe as an example; buffalo wings have that distinctly bold kick

from the sauce and that inviting texture of the chicken. The wellknown dish is fairly well emulated in this dip through the shredded chicken’s texture and the cheesy yet bold spice from the sauce. The full recipe involves getting a whole chicken and preparing it from scratch, which is fairly easy to fit into a daily schedule because most of the cooking is done through a slow cooker. It’s a fairly low maintenance way to make pulled chicken. However, it’s understandable if

you don’t want to deal with removing the bones from the mixture, so I’ve added some notes that substitutes the whole chicken with some cans of shredded chicken or a rotisserie chicken that you can pull yourself, which essentially leads to the same outcome with less of a time commitment. With Saturday’s Ohio State football game at Rutgers, why not bring some buffalo chicken dip to a viewing party for everyone to enjoy?

In a slow cooker, pour the water in and turn it to high. Dry the chicken using paper towels, and then evenly spread a mixture of salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper on the surface of the chicken. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and wait for at least 5 hours for it to cook. Once the chicken is cooked and tender, start to pull it apart using two forks, and remove as many bones as possible. Drain the chicken, and return it to the slow cooker. (If you’re using cans of shredded chicken instead of starting with a whole chicken, heat up the chicken on the stovetop using a skillet, and then transfer it to a slow cooker.) Take the cream cheese and rip it into smaller pieces. In the slow cooker, stir in the cream cheese, ranch, hot sauce and one cup of the shredded cheese. Turn the slow cooker to low, and sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top of the mixture. Let the mixture cook for one hour. Serve with some chips.

can be difficult to talk about,” Perry said. “The playwright really presents a lot of stereotypes and myths that we, as a culture, perpetuate and feed into.” The mean girl is just one of several archetypes that plays into the story that Iizuka has created. “You can see these archetypes on stage and everyone can kind of relate to them but on a deeper level, and what makes the playwright so brilliant is that she’s really putting those (archetypes) out there so the audience can identify them and ask really difficult questions about this all-American football player,” Perry said. “He’s a good kid, but he did this horrible thing. So, how do we justify what that says about who he is, where he comes from and our reaction to it as a community?” The height of the play is when all the characters come on stage and get into an argument about whether what happened that night at the party constitutes as sexual assault or as rape. At the end of each performance, the Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio will speak and answer any questions that the audience may have about sexual assault and rape. The play will is set to premiere Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Bowen Theatre located at the Drake Performance and Event Center. The play will run until Nov. 1.

16th Annual President and Provost’s Diversity Lecture and Cultural Arts Series with WIL HAYGOOD

President Michael Drake and Provost Joseph Steinmetz invite you to attend the sixteenth annual Diversity Lecture & Cultural Arts Series at The Ohio State University. This program offers the campus and the Columbus community opportunities to benefit from some of the most eminent scholars, artists, and professionals who discuss and exemplify excellence through diversity.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER

21 5:00 P.M.

Ohio Union | Performance Hall | 1739 N. High Street Award-winning author Wil Haygood, in his highly-anticipated Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America, recounts the ferocious, five-day fight in the U.S. Senate over Lyndon Johnson’s 1967 nomination of the first African-American to the United States Supreme Court. In this new portraiture of Marshall, Haygood revives the life an American hero whose NAACP leadership and decades of legal maneuvering brought down the separate-but-equal doctrine that had relegated African Americans to secondclass citizenship. The battle to confirm Marshall’s nomination, vehemently opposed by a powerful band of southern Senators, took place against a backdrop of nationwide urban riots protesting the unequal treatment and living conditions of black Americans. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and the first in his family to earn a college degree, Haygood went on to report for decades for two of the nation’s leading newspapers, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. In

those roles, he witnessed Nelson Mandela’s release, was taken hostage by Somalian rebels, provided extensive coverage of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, traveled with candidate Barack Obama, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. In his well-known New York Times bestseller, The Butler: A Witness to History, Haygood recalled the life of a previously unknown White House butler who served eight U.S. presidents and was later an associate producer of its film adaption starring seven Academy Award winners, including Forest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Robin Williams, Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Fonda, and Oprah Winfrey. Haygood will discuss Marshall’s historic confirmation and his belief in the American court system to end racial injustice. An opportunity to hear this homegrown, nationally-revered writer talk about the civil rights lawyer who successfully argued the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, is an evening not to be missed.

Jones was 25-of-45 for 333 yards and three interceptions. In the four games as the announced starter, the Cleveland product was 67-of-103 for 908 yards, even with his struggles on Saturday. He threw two interceptions in that span. Senior left tackle Taylor Decker said on Monday that whether he’s playing well or struggling, or if he is known to be the starter or not, Jones’ confidence does not waver. “The thing about Cardale is he’s incredibly confident in himself, even when other people are not,” Decker said. “I know there’s a ton of scrutiny from media, fans calling for his head, but he’s confident in what he can do. Obviously he has a ton of ability, we’ve seen that. We saw it last year and we’ve seen flashes of it this year.” Decker added that Barrett possesses many of the same qualities of stability which enabled him to be ready when his number has been called throughout the season. “J.T. is J.T. I don’t think anything’s changed,” Decker said. “I think he’s always been the same person since he stepped on campus day one, handled his business all the same, very mature guy. Not a lot of guys come in the program who are like that. He’s just a special type of person.” Either Barrett or Jones will get the start when the Buckeyes are set to travel to Piscataway, New Jersey, to battle Rutgers. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. from High Point Solutions Stadium.

of advice from former head coach James Sweeney, who retired after last season following 30 years on the OSU pistol staff. “I guess one of the biggest things he always used to say to me is ‘don’t cut your nose off to spite your face,’” Knisley said. “In other words, think before you speak, be patient and look at things from other perspectives before you make any major decisions.” Third-year captain Elizabeth Szalajko, who is serving as the team’s lone “senior” because of her plans to graduate in the spring, said she believes the team is in good hands with Knisley at the helm. “She’s been around the program for 15 years, so she knows how to coach, what to coach, and she’s continuing to do that,” Szalajko said. “The program has been great for the last two years, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.” Sophomore shooter Irina Andrianova, who won the individual national title in women’s open pistol as a freshman a season ago, also sees Knisley as a good fit to take over the team. “She brings us together,” Andrianova said. “She’s like a mother, she takes care of us.” Although this will be her first year as the official head coach of the team, Knisley did pick up some head coaching experience last year at nationals after Sweeney fell ill. The pistol team is scheduled to continue its season on Friday and Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with events at the Olympic Training Center.

ference rankings, behind defending-champion Maryland. “I do feel like we have the best team we’ve had since we’ve been here, the best chance to do special things in terms of how we want to compete in the conference and postseason play and all that type of stuff,” coach Kevin McGuff said. “There’s a lot that goes into that. You’ve got to be playing your best basketball at the end. You’ve got to catch a break and stay healthy. But I do think we have a chance to have a terrific season.”

“I do feel like we have the best team we’ve had since we’ve been here.” Kevin McGuff Women’s basketball coach

McGuff is not the only person anticipating major success. Mitchell, the reigning co-Big Ten Player of the Year, dreams of how successful the team can be. “I think about that night in and night out, just wondering what successes can we have this year. I think we can be a great team. I know every team has its flaws, but I honestly think we can do something special this year,” Mitchell said. Despite her propensity to lead by example rather than vocally, Mitchell exudes confidence rarely found in a sophomore. Her teammates listen to her advice and respect her not just for her skills on

the hardwood, but for her leadership as well. Senior guard Cait Craft singled out Mitchell’s work ethic and maturity as the reasons for her success. “She’s very mature for her age, and I think that’s a huge attribute for her because as a young player, she came in here and has all this admiration and adoration that she 100 percent deserves. But she never let it get to her,” Craft said. “She’s one of the first people you’ll see in the gym, she’s one the the last people to leave. On off-days, she lives here. Sometimes I don’t think she goes home. It seems like she’s just here all the time. She deserves everything she gets.” Mitchell’s play in 2014-15 as a freshman is a large reason why OSU surprised people. She led the team in points per game (24.9) and assists per game (4.2), while shooting 41.5 percent from the field. Even with the quick ascension to collegiate prominence, she remains humble, dedicated to improving herself — yet obsessed with helping to put her teammates in positions to flourish. “I think all my teammates do something amazing. Outside looking in a lot of people say ‘she doesn’t do this or she doesn’t do that.’ I think every person on my team does something that no one else can do,” Mitchell said. She continually works to understand each of her teammates’ strengths and weaknesses, putting them in the best position to take advantage of what they do well

and cover up the blemishes. The lack of seniority that led to the expectations of OSU being mediocre last season gives Mitchell and her teammates an advantage in team chemistry this season, as they’ve spent more time on the court together than anticipated. The Buckeyes will quickly learn whether the talent, experience and depth the heightened expectations are based on are worthy. OSU is scheduled to open its season on the road on Nov. 13 against South Carolina, which finished 34-3 in 2014-15. Just three days later, the Scarlet and Gray are set to welcome the defending national champion Connecticut Huskies to Columbus. While the competition early in the year is stiff, McGuff said the Buckeyes will use the games to better understand where they stand amongst the best teams in the country. “We’re going to take those games early on, win, lose or draw, and we’re going to learn those lessons and really figure out where we have to get better,” he said. For Craft, the games are going to provide insight as to what OSU needs to work on, while shedding light as to where the Buckeyes stand as a squad. “I would rather play those teams early, find out who we are, find out what we have to work on, where we want to be,” she said. “That’s really going to show us where we’re at.”

Back to square one Ohio State quarterback battle returns to preseason status RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same for Ohio State football. Seven games in, OSU’s quarterback situation is right back to where it was before the season, with OSU coach Urban Meyer keeping the world in the dark about whether redshirt junior Cardale Jones or redshirt sophomore J.T. Barrett will get the start under center. On Monday, Meyer said he is close to a decision about who will start OSU’s Week 8 game at Rutgers, but he is holding off on an announcement until talking with the two quarterbacks and the coaching staff. “I have an idea, but I want to make sure I visit with everybody and make sure we’re doing the right thing,” he said. Jones won the starting job out of training camp and maintained it for each of OSU’s seven victories — but not for the entirety of the games. Three times — most recently in OSU’s previous game, a 38-10 victory over Penn State — Jones was pulled from the game for Barrett because of poor play. Additionally, Barrett began seeing a regular increased role in the offense in OSU’s past two contests as Meyer’s red-zone quarterback because of Jones’ struggles in short-field situations. Still, Meyer said that Barrett did not do enough to win the job throughout the season.

“He certainly had an opportunity earlier in the year and did not do it. Same thing with training camp,” Meyer said. After taking the reins on Saturday and putting forth his best performance of the season, it remains to be seen if Barrett did enough with his newest opportunity. Against Penn State, Jones was 9-of-15 for just 84 yards and minus-16 yards running, while Barrett was 4-of-4 for 30 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran 11 times for 102 yards and two more scores. All five touchdowns and the Buckeyes’ field goal came with Barrett on the field. “I think (Barrett’s offense) ran better in the football game against Penn State,” Meyer said. Meyer has said that Jones’ or Barrett’s presences under center create very different systems for the OSU offense mainly because of Barrett’s speed. For redshirt sophomore left guard Billy Price, one of the two quarterbacks having the starting job on lockdown is not as important as the offense moving come kickoff. “For us, it’s more or less the offense has to be efficient,” Price said. “Whoever that person may be, it’s all about efficiency and making sure that we utilize and score in the red zone, don’t turn the ball over. Whoever that person may be, that’s who we want in there.” For each of OSU’s first three games, Meyer did not reveal who would get the start until Jones took the field on the Buckeyes’ first offensive possession. However, before the

Week 4 meeting with Western Michigan, the coach changed his tune and publically named Jones the starter. That remained the case for OSU’s next three games, but now, after Monday, at least, the Buckeyes’ depth chart is back to square one. Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said that mystery can make game planning more difficult on Monday. “I think it’s become very evident you’d better prepare for both of them,” Flood said. “J.T. runs around a little bit more. I know they have brought him in in the red zone. And he’s played a little more as the season’s gone on. But they are certainly both excellent players with a little bit different skill sets. But when they come in the game, you’d better be ready to defend what they do.” OSU was on the other side of that dilemma in Week 6 against Maryland, as the Terrapins kept it in the dark about if Caleb Rowe, Daxx Garman or Perry Hills would get the start. The nod was given to the redshirt junior Hills, who went on to punish the Buckeyes to the tune of 303 total yards, including 170 rushing. After that game, OSU defensive end Tyquan Lewis said not knowing who would start made it more difficult to prepare for the contest. But the opposite has rung true for the Buckeyes this season.

As the Ohio State pistol team opens its 2015-16 season, there is a new head coach leading the team’s quest for a third straight national championship. Donna Knisley, who had served as an assistant pistol coach for 15 years prior to being promoted to head coach in early May, has made a few small adjustments since switching over to her new role. “I’ve been having us shoot fewer full practice matches right now because our season is very long,” Knisley said. “I find myself working more one-on-one right now throughout the day when they are available to come in, and we work on one event usually.” As far as maintaining the focus of the group, Knisley said that it might be tough following back-toback national titles. “They can put an awful lot of stress on themselves, or expectations I should say, because they have won two, and it’s like, ‘well, we have to win three,’” Knisley said. “But the way I have to do it is one shot at a time, one match at a time, that sort of thing.” Before joining the Buckeyes’ pistol staff in 2000, Knisley won the 1993 Ohio State Championship in air pistol as a student, and taught pistol and rifle in different settings.
