OSU moves closer to energy privatization MICHAEL HUSON • Campus Editor • huson.4@osu.edu
O
hio State is inching toward the privatization of energy services at its Columbus campus with the commencement of a new phase in the university’s energy management plan.
● The university announced last week in a letter to students and staff that OSU would enter the second of a three-phase plan to investigate the potential partnership, requesting information from prospective groups as to how they plan to implement energy management. ● The winning partner will be tasked with maintenance, upkeep and operation of the campus’ energy systems, including electricity, natural gas, chilled-water cooling systems and steam-generated heating systems. ● This phase of the OSU’s Comprehensive Energy Management plan will request specifics concerning proposing groups’ plans to meet the university’s sustainability goals and energy operation standards. ● OSU believes it will be the first U.S. univerENERGY CONTINUES ON 2
The Covelli Multi-Sport Arena set to open in 2018 WILLIAM KOSILESKI Lantern reporter kosileski.2@osu.edu A new, 3,000-seat arena will be built on North Campus and host competitions for six of Ohio State’s sports programs. The construction of the Covelli Multi-Sport Arena is projected to take place from 2016 to 2018, with an overall budget of $30 million to be paid with developmental funds. Set to be located on the corner of Fred Taylor Drive and Ackerman Road, it will be used by the men’s and women’s volleyball and gym-
nastics teams, as well as the fencing team and the wrestling teams. “I think the facility will give the university and the programs that compete in there some great exposure,” said Mike Penner, senior associate athletic director at the OSU Department of Athletics. “It’ll be a first-class facility for our student athletes to compete in.” Approved by OSU’s Board of Trustees in August, the new facility will house men’s and women’s volleyball team operations, which will include locker rooms, offices for the coaches and a floor that will be ARENA CONTINUES ON 2
Ohio State’s Acting Chief Craig Stone has recently implemented police bicycle patrolling in order to travel on campus more efficiently and have more interaction with students. According to Stone, University Police was once a leader in bicycle patrolling but declined over the years as other aspects of policing became a higher priority. This method of transportation not only allows officers to access areas that cars cannot but also improves relationships with students. “It’s about visibility, being friendly, interacting with the students and building positive relationships, and deterring crime at the same time,” Stone said. Currently, the OSU police department has 11 officers trained to patrol on bikes. By autumn 2016, Stone plans to have at least 22 officers certified. Stone said he is a firm believer in having positive engagements between the police and the students. University Police uses the bike school through the Columbus Division of Police to train officers on bicycles. The most recently trained is University Joint Patrol Officer Scott Holbert. “I can go places a patrol car can’t go,” Holbert said. “Other benefits include the potential for greater public interactions, great crowd management, good exercise for officers, a cost savings compared to patrol cars, and I can potentially see, hear and detect more activity.”

Stone said he encourages officers who are not yet trained to patrol on bikes to get out on campus on foot at least once during their shift to engage with students. The chief also said he wants to get back into being a leader in bicycle patrolling by having an officer certified to train other officers.

This week in wellness: Using yoga to de-stress DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145.@osu.edu Students are halfway through the semester, and with the stress of midterms subsiding, maybe it’s time to wind down with a little yoga. The Lantern talked to Alice Adams, the group fitness coordinator for the Office of Student Life’s Recreational Sports, about students and yoga fitness. Q: What benefits can yoga provide for students? A: Yoga is great for your mind and body. For anyone that is stressed out, overwhelmed or exhausted, yoga’s meditative postures and breath practices can help decrease that stress and anxiety while revitalizing the mind and body. Other benefits include increased flexibility, tension release, heightened body awareness and mind focus and an overall sensation of more balance in life. Q: Do you need to be flexible to
do yoga? A: No — yoga will help improve your flexibility over time, so no need to feel intimidated if you cannot touch your toes or stand on one leg. A marathon runner does not wake up one morning and start running marathons. It takes time and practice to reach that goal, same as with yoga. Q: How long do you have to do yoga to feel the benefits? A: Everyone’s yoga journey is different. Some people will feel the mental and physical benefits after just one class, while others might need to attend three to five classes before they start to feel comfortable in their practice. For those people that are new to yoga, I would suggest practicing at least once a week to start, even if only for 20-30 minutes at home. Q:What are some easy poses students can do at home? A: Child’s Pose is a simple restorative posture that can help quiet the mind while gently stretching
the back. To perform this pose, start from a kneeling position and hinge your hips back towards your heels, laying your torso on top or between your thighs. Hands can either be extended in front with palms facing down or on the floor alongside your torso with palms facing up. Q: Where can students go on campus to try yoga? What do they need to bring? A: We offer several different types of yoga classes at the RPAC, all of which are free for students. For those that are new to yoga, I would recommend Breathe & Balance Yoga, Yoga Foundations or Relaxation Yoga. For those that are looking for a faster flow, I would try Yoga, Power Yoga or even Cycle+Yoga Power Hour. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, but we provide all the equipment you will need to practice yoga.

“I’d like to eventually get one of our officers trained to be a certified instructor, that way we can offer our people refresher training at less expense,” he said. Mark Jacob, a third-year in health sciences, said he has seen police patrolling campus on bicycles recently and thinks it has a positive impact on OSU’s campus. “I think it’s the best way to get around on a campus with so many people, and it’s reassuring to know that they care about our safety enough to ride through places they can’t get to in their cars,” Jacob said.

million. “In this project, that cost would be funded by our partner(s), which would allow Ohio State to use our funds to directly support our academic mission,” he said. “In addition, it is estimated that approximately $1.7 billion in capital expenditures to maintain and improve Ohio State’s energy system would be funded by a potential partner over the life of the lease, rather than by the university, further allowing Ohio State to focus its resources on our academic mission.” Company responses are due in December, at which time responses will be evaluated by the project team and three advisory groups, comprised of the President and Provost’s Council on Sustainability, a faculty advisory group and a physical environment council, according to OSU’s energy management website.
OSU has qualified a total of 40 groups of the 44 that showed interested during the previous qualification request stage, in which groups described to the university their preliminary plans concerning utility operations, supplying energy, conserving energy and establishing an affinity relationship. Initiatives of the affinity agreement could “include, but are not limited to, research collaboration with faculty, scholarships and internships for students, and integrated co-branded energy marketing opportunities,” according to a university energy management request for qualifications document. The project would include the evaluation and implementation of energy conservation measures across 450 buildings, spanning about 22 million square feet of of the university’s campus space and infrastructure. OSU consumed nearly 590,000

used for practice and competition for both teams, Penner said. Penner said the floor will have a “multipurpose use,” as the fencing, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics teams will also use it. “(The floor) is going to provide a new space for those teams to compete,” Penner said. Ryan Tomlinson, a third-year in computer science and engineering, and a member of OSU’s co-ed fencing team, said he thinks that the new arena can help the athletes, as well as draw some more attention from fans. “Overall, I think it will be a better quality place for competitions. I think it’ll help us boost our confidence when hosting other teams,” he said. “I think that it can draw more attention to the sports that don’t get enough attention from fans.” The arena will include maintenance, storage and machinery spaces, as well as concession stands, restrooms and other common spec-

These would reduce energy consumption and/or improve energy efficiencies, which in turn reduce the amount of energy-related carbon dioxide attributable to Ohio State. By installing energy conservation measures campus-wide, we have the opportunity to more significantly improve our carbon footprint than if we did one small project at a time.” Davey added the estimated cost to fund energy conservation measures on campus is more than $250

megawatt hours of electricity in fiscal year 2014, according to an university energy management request for qualifications document. Annually, the university spends more than $100 million on energy costs, Davey said. In 2012, OSU privatized its parking when the university signed a 50-year, $483 million contract with Australian investment firm QIC Global Infrastructure to create CampusParc. OSU also holds private contracts with Coca-Cola Co., Nike Inc. and Huntington Bank, along with other companies. In the next phase of the Comprehensive Energy Management, which is expected to begin in early 2016, companies will bid on OSU’s proposal.

tator amenities, according to Board of Trustees meeting notes. Another fencer, Andrew Kubisty, a second-year in business, said he thinks that the arena will have a positive impact and be able to connect student athletes from different sports programs. “Having student athletes together is always nice. It’s always nice to see other athletes from other programs we have,” Kubisty said. “I think (the arena) is something that people here now and in the future can definitely benefit from.” The Covelli Multi-Sport Arena is named after Sam Covelli, who donated $10 million toward this project, Penner said. Penner said that the project is a step in the Athletic Framework Plan, which aims to bring the majority of university athletic facilities into the same quadrant. “A combination of the success of our programs and the new facility WILLIAM KOSILESKI | LANTERN REPORTER may draw bigger crowds and allow Although St. John Arena is currently where the two volleyball teams compete, the Covelli athletes to shine on a bigger stage,” Multi-Sport Arena will be their future home in 2018.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Buckeyes, hear our presidential candidates on foreign policy As a Jewish woman living in the United States, I hold democratic values to be the utmost of liberties. I am privileged to have the freedom to vote, to have my voice heard and to make a difference in the future of our society — all things that my grandparents could only dream of when they were refugees in displaced person camps in Germany at my age. With the 2016 presidential election emerging, it is the duty of the students at Ohio State to pay attention and to get educated on policies from all candidates, from Hillary Clinton to John Kasich. Ohio is a battleground state, and it is our responsibility to take part in this debate by listening to our candidates’ plans for not only improving our domestic policies, but also on our foreign policy. As a moral superpower, the U.S. has large shoes to fill in the realm of global politics. With fragility in the Middle East, where dictatorial regimes rise and fall as many times as I change outfits in the morning, the U.S. relies heavily on its unwavering, ethical, stable and democratic ally in the Middle East: the state of Israel. College students need to
pay close attention to what the candidates have to say about Israel, because a strong Israel hand in hand with a strong America ensures the continuation of Western values across the world. According to Freedom House, Israel is the only country in the Middle East that values academic freedom, the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion that the American people, our candidates and all college students must treasure as well. Today in America, we are facing serious social issues for women, blacks and the LGBTQ communities, and we must look to other western countries to see how they are actively pursuing changes. In addition, just as entrepreneurship is integral to the American dream, Israel has taken that spirit and has become a hub for start-ups and other capitalist ventures. This plays a significant role in our state’s affairs, as Ohio has strong economic ties to Israel. For example, in 2002, the Negev Foundation launched the Ohio-Israel Agricultural and Rural Development Initiative uniting government, academic and business entities, trade
associations and growers to improve agricultural trade and research and development ties between Ohio and Israel. Former Undergraduate Student Government president and current treasurer of Ohio Josh Mandel has helped Ohio make significant investments in Israel bonds compared to other states in the U.S. because not only is it a good investment for Ohio’s taxpayers, but, according to a July 12 article on Breaking Israel News: “Israel bonds are viewed as increasingly solid financial investments....” Lastly, on a global level, Israel provides the only stability and reliability in the Middle East. The Iranian regime refers to Israel as the “Little Satan” and the U.S. as the “Big Satan,” explicitly saying that once it destroys the foothold of western civilization in the Middle East (Israel) it can move on to the king of western civilization, the U.S., according to a July 14 article from the Gatestone Institute International Policy Council website. The thought of a nuclear Iran capable of inflicting harm upon Israel and the United States should be a concern for all of us, as we will be the leaders of tomorrow.

Why more students should care about climate change Many students believe that climate change will only affect future generations. I’m here to tell you that that is not the case. Climate change will affect every single person across the globe today, and for the rest of our lives, regardless of major or political affiliation. It is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, and action must be taken immediately. In the past decade, we have seen trends of more severe storms, flash flooding and wind damage, most notably from storms such as Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Joaquin. Not only are these trends occurring in the United States, but effects are being seen across the globe. The issue of climate change might be controversial, but I have recently learned that 97 percent of the world’s climate scientists agree that the increased warming of the Earth is caused by humans. Even some GOP candidates agree that climate change is happening,

Israel and her citizens see these issues unfolding on the ground and are victims of the brunt of it from Iranian proxies in Lebanon and in Judea and Samaria, otherwise referred to as the West Bank of Jordan. By understanding what our leaders say about the Middle East, we can get a glimpse of how they will establish stability in the region, and that can happen only by strengthening our friendship with Israel. As students at OSU, we must take it upon ourselves to understand how our candidates approach the issues that involve Israel. We must seek to understand, not by anger, or by falsification.

State Rep. Michael Stinziano has been a champion when it comes to protecting the rights of college students. That’s why I’m supporting him as he seeks a seat on the Columbus City Council this Nov. 3. At the Statehouse, Stinziano fought for voting rights for student trustees at public universities, and he’s sponsored legislation that would exempt college textbooks from the state sales tax because he knows how expensive textbooks can be for college courses. And Stinziano is the past director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, where he ran the highest turnout election in state history — the 2008 presidential election — in Franklin County. Stinziano and his colleagues worked to make sure that every eligible voter could cast their ballot. Stinziano represents several college campuses in the General Assembly, and he’s very knowledgeable about the issues that impact our college students.

The Odds of Being Born is dressing for success HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu
The Odds of Being Born say they are “still babies” in the music scene, having formed just this past April. All three of its members are graduates of Ohio State — drummer Jim Fowler with a degree in anthropology in 2009; lead vocalist and bassist Chris Albert with a degree in biology in 2013; and keyboardist and vocalist Jenna Craig with a degree in strategic communication also in 2013. They want to be something different from other local bands, sonically and visually. “A lot of the things you hear are very indie pop,” Craig said. “There’s not a lot of real rock out there. That’s just kind of the popular thing right now and we don’t want to go with the wave.” The self-professed heavy alternative rockers have trouble relating to the indie pop genre. “It’s over saturated. It’s too fluffy and cutesy. It doesn’t feel real,” Fowler said. Beyond its sound, The Odds of Being Born wants to look differently than its peers. “You go see so many local bands and it’s just four grungy-looking dudes on stage standing by their instruments, not moving, and it’s boring,” Fowler said. “We make a conscious effort to say, ‘Let’s not dress like we walked out of a thrift store, let’s get haircuts.’” Fowler came up with the band’s name and was inspired by a lyric from “Keeping Warm” by We Were Promised Jetpacks, an indie rock band.

old enough to take things seriously.” One of the things The Odds of Being Born takes seriously is its live show. “I think a lot when I write about how it’s going to sound live, the transitions between songs, to make it more like an actual show rather than just 10 songs,” Albert said. The band plans to release more singles to try and build its fan base, but in the meantime the band said it will “fake it till they make it.” “We talked a lot when we first started about just pretending to be bigger than we are,” Albert said. Fowler added, “It’s almost like that ‘dress for the job you want, not the job you have’ mentality.” The Odds of Being Born’s next show will

Gallery to honor artist Eva Glimcher YUÈ WÚ Lantern reporter wu.1710@osu.edu Celebration will fall upon the Columbus art scene as present-day artists look back in time to honor the works and contributions of artist Eva Glimcher. The Columbus Museum of Art will exhibit “Keeping Pace: Eva Glimcher and Pace/ Columbus” to honor Eva Glimcher and her long-lasting impact on the appreciation of and support for contemporary art in Columbus. Pace/Columbus was founded in 1965 by Glimcher as a branch of the Pace Gallery, an important contemporary art gallery with eight locations in New York, London, Beijing and Hong Kong. The Columbus branch was located on Broad Street, just blocks from the CMOA, and it closed in 1982 after Glimcher passed away. “Keeping Pace,” as one of the inaugural exhibitions for the CMOA’s newly built wing, will be open to the public from Sunday to Jan. 17. “There was an art world in Columbus before Eva Glimcher, and there was one after,” said Tyler Cann, the curator of contemporary art at the CMOA. “Nobody would show work that was quite ambitious as Pace Gallery was and as Eva Glimcher was.” Cann also said because the culture of contemporary art was not common in Columbus, Pace/Columbus became a very important platform for contemporary art in the city. “Many of the leading collectors in Columbus bought their first work from Eva Glimcher,” he said. “She changed people’s perception of contemporary art here.” Nancy Colvin, the manager of marketing and communications at the CMOA, said Glimcher not only “introduced all kinds of new contemporary art” to Columbus but she also “brought those artists here and helped to encourage the love of art collection” in Columbus. “Pace/Columbus held a series of exhibitions by significant artists at a moment when there were few other avenues for regularly experiencing contemporary art in Columbus,” Colvin said. Colvin said this exhibition is to celebrate a “transformational moment in Columbus’ history” in combination with the “transformational moment in the museum history” because the new wing is opening. The exhibition will focus on six artists whose works were represented at Pace/Columbus: Jim Dine, Jean Dubuffet, Louise Nevelson, Lucas Samaras, Frank Stella and

Andy Warhol, Colvin said. “In Columbus, as in the larger world, these artists helped transform the sense of what art can be,” Colvin said. The exhibition will include painting, photography and sculpture. A documentary film about Glimcher and Pace/Columbus will also accompany the exhibition. The exhibition will feature pieces shown at Pace/Columbus along with other works on loan from Pace Gallery, Colvin said. The private collection of Herb and Dee Dee Glimcher, Eva’s son and daughter-in-law, will also be featured. “The art scene in Columbus has really grown and flourished, so this exhibition is really a nice opportunity to look back at the history of Columbus and this figure — Eva Glimcher — who transformed art in Columbus,” Cann said.
ASK OGONNA
Admit, commit and don’t quit in a relationship OGONNA ONONYE Senior Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu Reader: How can I overcome my fear of commitment? Ogonna: For those of us who didn’t have serious relationships in high school, college is a time when we delve into what it means to be in one. We begin to realize how our past has altered our present, and we start to think of the ways it could potentially alter our future. I think that a mistake we are afraid of making in a relationship is being honest about our expectations. We don’t want to seem too needy or too lenient. But a relationship is all about learning about the other person, being honest and vulnerable with each other and learning how to best compromise your expectations.
If you’ve read my past articles, you know I specialize in talking about introspection. So naturally, I will have to ask you to identify why it is that you are afraid of commitment. Is it a personal insecurity? Is it because of your past relationships? Do you think that you’re too inexperienced compared to your significant other or vice versa? Do you have emotional or physical boundaries you’re scared of admitting to? Do you think that the two of you have different expectations of each other that you won’t be able to live up to? These are intense questions to ask and answer, but you must do this. And once you’ve come up with solid, truthful answers, you have to talk about it with your significant other. You have to ask each other those hard questions that you’ve been dreading to discuss. You have to be honest about your expectations of the other as well as your insecurities and things you aren’t comfortable
with yet, things you are willing to compromise over and things you need to put your foot down about. In a past article, I talked about how we tend to use the word “maybe” as a copout. Sara Bareilles said it best in her song “Gonna Get Over You” by singing, “’Maybe’ is a vicious little word that can slay me.” This is so, so true. I am a hardcore subscriber to saying the word “maybe” as a copout when it comes to committing to a plan. I’ve admitted it before and I’ll say it again, I like to wait for the best offer to come my way before committing to someone — that way, I’m not exactly ditching anyone because plans were not exactly set into stone. This is detrimental when it comes to relationships, and it’s something I know I need to work on as well. When we don’t commit to someone in a relationship, when we don’t say ‘no’ but don’t say ‘yes,’ we are basically holding out for the best offer — whether it’s
our best offer or theirs. If we are insecure about ourselves, we don’t commit because we think we won’t be the best for this person. If we have different expectations than the other person, then we think that person is not the best offer for us. In both cases, we jump to conclusions about the other person without even talking about it with them first. We might think our expectations for a relationship are so out of line with theirs that it’s better to just stay friends. But if you’ve made it to the point where you’re considering a long-term relationship, you two are probably a better match than your insecurities will let you believe. Don’t let one honest conversation stop you from being with the person who could be exactly what you’re looking for.

WATER POLO
Ohio State looks for championship 3-peat after 11-0 season ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu The Ohio State water polo team will be looking for its third straight Great Lakes Division Championship on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. The team, which competes within the Collegiate Water Polo Association, finished the regular season undefeated in 11 matches. Along with two straight Great Lake championships, it finished fifth at the National Collegiate Club Championships in 2014. Coach James Dauphinee, president and senior goalie Michael Smith and vice president and junior center Drace Penley are working to prepare the team together. “I structure this out so everything we do is building toward those championships,” Dauphinee said. “There’s a lot of preparation that goes in before practice, but really it’s these guys’ dedication and hard work that pushes us.” Smith, who puts together the team’s scheduling, said midseason CWPA polls that ranked the Buckeyes first in the nation puts a target on their backs. “We have a lot more training to do if we want to compete on a national level,” Smith said. “Teams know that we’re coming to play. We’re working really hard to make sure we’re the best team in the pool conditioning-wise and (the) best team in the pool mentally and ready to play water polo.” Penley, whose duty as vice president is to work with fundraising and the community, said extra practice both in and out of the pool has been part of their preparation. “We’ve been lucky on Monday and Wednesdays to come in at 7:30 a.m. and get conditioning out the way early so that we FOOTBALL FROM 8
If Elliott hits his season average of 141 rushing yards on Saturday, he could move from eighth to fifth on the list. The St. Louis native would pass former OSU running backs Carlos Hyde and Keith Byers to move into sixth place, but moving into fifth could pose a challenge. Redshirt senior Braxton Miller currently stands 118 yards in front of Elliott with 3,246. While it seems clear that Elliott will soon pass the former quarterback, a strong game from Miller could keep him in fifth for at least one more week. Beanie Wells would be the next in line after Miller for Elliott to pass, as he sits in fourth place, 254 yards in front of Elliott. Archie Griffin is the all-time leader with 5,589 yards, a mark that would be difficult for Elliott to eclipse even if he chooses to forgo the NFL draft for his senior year. Injury report Though he left the Penn State game in the first possession with an ankle sprain and did not return, Meyer described senior linebacker Joshua Perry as “probable” for Saturday. Another senior defensive starter will not have the same fortune, however, as defensive lineman Tommy Schutt had wrist surgery after the game. Meyer said Schutt SOCCER FROM 8
and we know that we just need to go in there and put things away,” senior midfielder Kyle Culbertson said. The Buckeyes have enjoyed the support of their home fans and look for it to continue as the team draws closer to postseason play. “This team is really in a groove right now with seven straight wins and nine unbeaten,” junior forward Christian Soldat said. “It feels great to be at home to play in front of a crowd that grows every single game, and they’re always behind us and we’re going to keep playing
can get into more water polo,” Penley said. “We’ve also put together an out-of-practice lifting cycle, so we all signed up for a time sheet.” Dauphinee said he thinks the team’s hard work can help it ascend to new heights. “Placing fifth last year, we lost to the eventual national champions, and this year we’re expecting to place first, if not top three,” Dauphinee said. “I think that’s reflective of the work these guys have put in, not just last year, but the previous years to really build a name for the program nationwide.”

There has been a shift in the competitiveness of the program from when Dauphinee took over five years ago. Senior center Ben McClurg has witnessed the transition. “We’ve pretty much done a full 180. When I started, the team was probably like 20 guys total and only 10 showed up for practice,” McClurg said. “We had a lot of good incoming classes, and now we’ve got almost 40 guys who will come in four times a week and multiple weekends every single semester.” “should be back in a couple of weeks,” but will miss the game against Rutgers. Listed in his place on OSU’s depth chart are redshirt senior Joel Hale and redshirt sophomore Michael Hill. While healthy, the Buckeyes will also be without senior linebacker Cam Williams for the first half of the game due to a second-half targeting call that had him ejected from the game against Penn State. Junior Joe Burger entered the depth chart in Williams’ absence. For the Scarlet Knights, senior wide receiver Leonte Carroo, the school’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions, is considered questionable with a right ankle injury. Carroo said he’ll “definitely be playing” after Rutgers’ win over Indiana, but he did not practice on Tuesday. Up next The Buckeyes will have their first bye week of the season upon returning from Piscataway. Their next game is scheduled to be an 8 p.m. affair at Ohio Stadium against Minnesota on Nov. 7.
for them.” Viking territory The Vikings will be entering Wednesday’s match coming off the heels of a shutout win, 1-0, over Belmont on Saturday. Cleveland State has won three games in a row and has extended its record to 6-6-1 overall. Sophomore defender Jake Lagania leads the Vikings with five goals and three assists, followed by junior forward Sergio Manesio with three goals. Cleveland State has used a timeshare system at goalkeeper this season.
Smith cites Dauphinee as a large reason for the turnaround. “My freshman year we got fourth in our conference, and now we’re going for the three-peat this year,” Smith said. “It’s just been an unbelievable change, and a lot of that has to do with our coaching. James has been an unbelievable part of that.” Dauphinee has been named the Great Lakes Division Coach of the Year the past three seasons, but the achievements of the team are what he hangs his hat on. “The thing that I personally get the most from is not the individual accolade, but when I first started coaching the team, they asked me to come on board and we had seven guys in the water,” he said. “This is the return on the investment I put in here, getting an opportunity to help build a program.” Dauphinee is not the only member of the team who has experienced personal success. McClurg and Smith have both been recognized within the CWPA. McClurg was named the 2014 Great Lakes Division MVP and a second team All-American. He said he is honored to obtain those awards, but he enjoys team success over individual. “I like being honored, but I’d like to see the team do well rather than myself,” McClurg said. “But, obviously, I like being able to say that I was the best in the conference and somewhat of the best of the nation, which is kind of cool to see.” Smith, as a goalie, attributes his success to the team defense and coaching. “I’ve had an unbelievable defense, and I’ve been lucky enough to have that for three years now,” Smith said. “I came in playing in high school a little bit, but I wasn’t very good. I’ve had great tutelage, great coaching
and it all goes down to that team defense.” Penley, however, said he thinks Smith is too modest. “Team defense can only work if you got someone who you know is only going to let seven goals max in a game behind you,” Penley said. “Pretty much every game at nationals, except for maybe one, he’s been named our MVP of the game.” Despite a strong commitment to the program, the team emphasizes that school comes first. Penley, a chemical engineering major, said a good balance is important. “Since we are a club sport, we’re always making sure that everyone knows that school comes first, family comes first,” Penley said. “If you need a day off mentally, that comes first because if you aren’t prepared mentally in the pool, you’re not going to play physically well.” Smith echoed Penley’s notion. “We’re not scholarship athletes, we’re all here to get an education,” Smith said. “We’re lucky enough to have guys on the team who are able to balance that and (Penley) is a great example.” Freshman Andy Damschroder said the cohesion of the club has contributed to his positive experience so far. “We hang out together, we train together, we win together,” Damschroder said. “It’s probably one of the best clubs on campus, one of the most competitive, one of the most cohesive. Everybody is academically smart, we’re all physically talented. It’s a great group to be a part of.” The Buckeyes will host the Great Lake Championships at the McCorkle Pavilion Halloween weekend beginning at 9 a.m. on Oct. 31.

team. “There’s not a lot of ego involved with playing time, which is very unique in this team,” he said. “I think playing time tends to be one of the things that ends up really hurting teams and breaks down dynamic. Literally everyone on this team has contributed to a victory, and there’s a great buy-in for that.” Rising in the rankings OSU has been steadily ascending in the coaches poll during its winning streak and now finds itself just outside the top five at No. 6. More importantly for their NCAA tournament aspirations, the Buckeyes come in at No. 4 in the RPI, which factors strength of schedule in addition to wins and losses. The Buckeyes are 7-1 against ranked opponents this season. “It’s great for our program, it’s great for the university,” Carlston said of his team’s standing in the polls. “It’s great for our players to see that recognition.” What’s next? After their battle with the Spartans, the Buckeyes are set to head back to the state of Michigan on Saturday to take on their archrival Wolverines. The first serve is slated for 7 p.m.
In the only meeting between the two programs last year, OSU came out on top in a five-set victory in Columbus. The Buckeyes hold a 45-29 record in the all-time series and have won five of their last seven matches against the Spartans. Depth chart One of OSU’s strengths this season has been its depth, as 10 different players have played in 59 or more sets. Against Purdue on Friday, sophomore outside hitter Ashley Wenz — who has seldom been used this season — came off the bench and boosted the offense by tying a career high with six kills. “It shows a lot about our team that you can put anyone out on the court and perform just as well,” Wenz said. On Sunday against Indiana, senior setter Emily Ruetter had a similar effect in relief of freshman Taylor Hughes, picking up 19 assists to lift a struggling OSU attack. “Emily doesn’t get a lot of credit … but she does a lot of things in practice and behind the scenes that are really important,” Carlston said. Carlston said being able to use so many different players works because of the leadership provided by the upperclassmen of the
Junior goalkeeper Nick Ciraldo has played about 600 minutes on the year and has a goals-against average of 2.14, with 16 saves overall, while junior goalkeeper Aleksandar Drobac has played for about 700 minutes and has a goalsagainst average score of 1.10 with 31 saves. Player of the week awards piling up For the third consecutive week, redshirt senior goalkeeper Chris Froschauer was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, while junior forward Danny Jensen was named Offensive Player
of the Week for the second time in October. Both players have been vital to what OSU has been able to accomplish thus far. Jensen leads the team with four goals and three assists on the season, giving him a total of 11 points. Froschauer has started every game in 2015 after transferring from Dayton. He has logged more than 1,000 minutes and boasts a goals-against average of 0.88 and 45 saves this season. Froschauer became the third player in conference history to rack up three consecutive weekly
honors. Moving on up After Saturday’s victory, the Buckeyes have moved to first place in the Big Ten conference, followed by Maryland and Rutgers, respectively. The Scarlet and Gray have also moved up to No. 18 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. Up next Following Wednesday’s action, the Buckeyes are set to travel to Piscataway, New Jersey, to face Rutgers at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

As No. 1 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0) looks for its 21st straight victory, it will be doing so with a new, yet familiar, face under center. Redshirt sophomore J.T. Barrett, who started 12 games in 2014 and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting, unseated redshirt junior Cardale Jones as the starting quarterback before the Buckeyes’ Week 8 matchup at Rutgers, OSU coach Urban Meyer announced on Tuesday. “J.T has earned the right to start Saturday at Rutgers,” Meyer said during the weekly Big Ten coaches teleconference. Jones has started each of the Buckeyes’ seven games this sea-
son but was benched in the second half in favor of Barrett against Penn State after a 9-of-15, 84-yard performance. Barrett, used throughout the game in the red zone as well as the extended run in the second half, was 4-of-4 for 30 yards and two touchdowns while running 11 times for 102 yards and two additional scores. Regardless of who is calling the plays for the offense, senior left tackle Taylor Decker said he thinks the unit is hitting its stride. “I think we’re farther along than we were at this time last year,” Decker said. “There’s always going to be a ton of questions and everything … but I think we’re farther along.” Decker went on to say that the offense was being held back by two areas of weakness, which it went
on the attack to eliminate. “We’re improving. We’re a capable offense,” Decker said. “I think we have been, honestly, playing well. I think the issues were turning the ball over and penalties.” With seven wins in the books, OSU now turns its attention to Rutgers (3-3, 1-2). The Scarlet Knights grabbed their first conference win last week at Indiana in a 55-52 shootout. Rutgers trailed 52-27 late in the third quarter of that game, but came all the way back to win on a 26-yard field goal as time expired. While Rutgers carries one of the country’s worst defenses with 447.3 yards allowed per game, OSU sophomore guard Billy Price said the Buckeyes must respect any foe, especially one in the Big Ten. “You can’t go into any games
taking them lightly, because it’s college football and any team will creep up on you, so we have the utmost respect for them,” Price said. Price said the size Rutgers has on the defensive line stands out to him when he looks at tape and thinks back to last season’s meeting, a 5617 OSU romp in Columbus. The Buckeyes will look to go into High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, to do the same on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. Rushing leaderboard Against Penn State, junior running back Ezekiel Elliott eclipsed the 3,000-yard rushing mark with his 153 yards. Now, several former Buckeyes sit in front of him to be passed on the all-time OSU rankings.
FOOTBALL CONTINUES ON 7
The Ohio State men’s soccer team is currently riding the longest winning streak in program history. The Buckeyes are looking to build on their seven-game tear against Cleveland State at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The Scarlet and Gary did not face the Vikings last season but are looking to come out with a win despite limited knowledge of the opponent. “We’re going to prepare to play against Cleveland State and do the best that we can against CSU,” coach John Bluem said. “When that game is over, then we will go on to the next.” The Buckeyes have been on fire and plan to take one game at a time to keep its momentum. A daunting challenge for the Vikings will be trying to break through the Buckeye defense, as the OSU back end has been nearly impenetrable lately for the opposition.

On Wednesday, OSU will head north to East Lansing to square off with Michigan State (13-6, 5-3) in the only match against the Spartans this season. The game will mark just the third time the Buckeyes have been away from St. John Arena since conference play began, and coach Geoff Carlston said his team is excited about being in a hostile environment. “We enjoy being on the road and embrace

that as a road trip,” he said. “Road trips are supposed to be fun, so we’ll be ready for it.” The Spartans currently lead the Big Ten in kills per set (14.37) and rank fourth in hitting percentage (.255), presenting another tough test for an OSU defense that has held teams to a .153 hitting percentage this season, the second-lowest rate in the conference. Michigan State’s offense is led by all-Big Ten junior outside hitter Chloe Reinig, who recently returned from an injury that forced her to miss seven games, and redshirt sophomore middle blocker Brooke Kranda, who ranks 10th in the conference in kills per set (3.26). Although OSU registered a season-high 13 service aces in its win over Purdue on Friday, Carlston said he believes that is one
of the areas that OSU needs to improve in and will be a key in keeping the Spartans’ attack off balance. “I think we can still serve with some tempo, with just a little bit better location, a little bit more pace on it (and) a little bit more depth,” Carlston said. “With a team like Michigan State, if they’re in system, they’re good.” Senior middle blocker Andrea Kacsits said “getting big hands in their face” will also be important in slowing down Michigan State. “Our timing is going to be important and our eyes are going to be important,” she said. “Staying calm and not being overwhelmed by the speed of the game is going to be a big key to winning.” VOLLEYBALL CONTINUES ON 7
