High Street sees an uptick in homeless population CHELSEA SPEARS AND CLAYTON EBERLY Multimedia editor and Lantern reporter spears.116@osu.edu and eberly.72@osu. edu Every day on his way to class, Alex Castrey walks by rows of Greek houses, stores on High Street and homeless people. But lately, he’s noticed something different on his route. “I think there’s been an increase, definitely,” Castrey, a second-year in finance, said of the homeless people he passes each day. Castrey isn’t the only one to take notice of this rise in the off-campus homeless population. It’s a difference officers on the Columbus Division of Police force have reported to their commander, too. Columbus Police Commander Christopher Bowling said that since the spring, many of his officers have told him about more and more homeless individuals establishing roots in the off-campus area, sticking mainly to the east side of High Street between 12th and 15th avenues. He said the homeless population has also increased in the Short North recently. “As the year has progressed, we’ve seen an increase probably since spring, and it’s been incremental to the point where it’s noticeable,” Bowling said.

Gourmet hamburger restaurant The Chop Shop, located on the corner of Lane Avenue and North High Street, is estimated to open early Spring Semester.

Students who are reeling from the closing of Red Robin’s Burger Works need not fear. There is a new burger joint opening to offer a different type of burger experience. The Chop Shop has been under construction since July, at 2195 N. High St., next door to the Buffalo Wild Wings located at 2151 N. High St. In an area with several burger joints — Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Five Guys — The Chop Shop hopes to offer high-quality

After a six-year break from investing in off-campus pest control, the city of Columbus is looking for rodents around the Ohio State area again. Columbus Public Health is sending health inspectors around the University District area to look for signs of rodents, according to an article by The Columbus Dispatch. The last time the program ran was in 2008, before the Columbus Public Health Department discontinued the $275,000 rodent control program in an effort to cut back city spending, according to Lantern archives. Even so, Ohio State takes its own precautions against infestation problems, a Student Life

Short North area also sees a rise He said homeless individuals have progressively migrated to the Short North because many people in the area have money. So why have many homeless individuals rooted themselves near a college campus as well, when college students are known to lack cash? It all comes down to foot traffic, Bowling said. “Although college kids don’t translate to money, there’s a lot of traffic, a lot of chances to sit there with a cup out asking for spare change,” he said. Even so, Bowling said Columbus Police hasn’t quantified the number of homeless individuals in the off-campus area despite this noticeable increase. “Noticeable could be eight individuals instead of four. We don’t go around counting homeless people — it’s not a crime,” Bowling said. Unless those individuals are aggressively panhandling passersby for money or too close in proximity to places like ATMs, they’re not doing anything wrong, according to the law. There were 1,488 homeless people living in Franklin County in 2013, according to the 2013 Homelessness Report by the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio. That number was 3.8 percent higher than the 1,434 reported in 2012.

City’s health inspectors to look for rodents

LOGAN HICKMAN Campus editor hickman.201@osu.edu In its quest to cut costs and reduce its carbon footprint, Ohio State is looking to privatize the management of its utilities, including water, electricity and gas. And while it’s not the first time OSU has privatized an asset, officials said this also might not be the last. The effort, dubbed the Comprehensive Energy Management Initiative, would involve entering into a long-term lease with an outside company that would manage the university’s utilities. That company could then profit by helping OSU cut energy costs and make it more energy efficient — something Provost and Executive Vice President Joseph Steinmetz said OSU can’t easily do on its own. “Through these kinds of opportunities, we might be able to generate revenue that we can then just plug into the sustainability efforts that we want,” Steinmetz said in a Wednesday interview with The Lantern. “The asset-generated revenue also could be plugged into student support and faculty help as well.” OSU currently spends $100 million annually on energy, said Geoff Chatas, senior vice president and chief financial officer. It also has about $250 million to $300 million worth of energy improvements that could be made, but haven’t because of a lack of funding. OSU would spend the early part of 2015 assessing which companies might be fit for the job, Chatas said. Bidding could then start as early as next fall. The duration of the lease and the amount OSU might save depends on what the companies propose. Still, Steinmetz said it’s unclear if the initiative — which was announced to the University Senate Fiscal Committee Tuesday — could result in people losing their jobs. “Changes in either plus or minus on positions could happen,” Steinmetz said. “It depends on what the final proposal actually looks like.” Although Steinmetz said it’s too early to consider employee reductions, Chatas said the money OSU might gain from the deal could create jobs. But this isn’t the first, and perhaps not the last, time OSU has sought to gain capital from privatization. The university agreed to a 50-year lease on its parking assets for the upfront price of $483 million. QIC Global Infrastructure, an Australian investment firm, placed the bid and created CampusParc to operate

ingredients in a high-energy environment. “The quality of our food is going to be above and beyond what anyone is putting out,” said Sean Bannan, general manager of The Chop Shop. “A lot of places go for frozen because it’s cheaper and easier, but we’re not about that. We want to put out good, quality food.” The menu, including prices, had not been finalized as of Wednesday, Bannan said. He is aiming for a meal to stay under $10. Burgers, hot dogs, fries and onion rings will be offered, Bannan said. The burgers will be made of fresh Angus beef, never frozen and all-natural. The cows will be grass fed with no added hormones or antibiotics. There will also

be a made-from-scratch vegetable burger. All of the burgers will be made to order, but some signature options could be added, Bannan said. The french fries and onion rings will be hand-cut in the restaurant and fried in peanut oil. Bannan said the dessert menu is currently under construction, but might include some ice cream options. The produce, for condiment purposes, will come from a local vendor, but there has not been a food source chosen yet, Bannan said. Bannan said The Chop Shop will offer counter service, which should make for a quick experience. A customer will place an order and be given a paging device. When the food is ready, the pager will buzz and the customer will pick up the order from the counter, similar to Five Guys. Bannan said the plan is for the wait to be less than 10 minutes. Bannan promises The Chop Shop will have a more upscale experience, similar to Flip Side in Easton. There will be a full bar and the interior is set to include new tiles, decorative woods and sheet metal for a retro feel, Bannan said. Rachel Baileys, a first-year transfer student in visual communications, plans on trying the new restaurant when it opens. “I think it’ll be good. There’s always so much stuff on High Street, so anything will be a good addition,” Baileys said. Despite existing burger competition, Chad Gomez, a second-year in athletic training said he expects the business to succeed. “I think it’ll bring a lot of attention to the campus,” he said. “Since a lot of college students tend to prefer foods like hamburgers, I think it’ll do well.”

“With vermin, we take very aggressive attacks.” - Dave Isaacs Student Life spokesman spokesman said. The university has a contract with JC Ehrlich Company, a pest control company with an office in Columbus. Each month, JC Ehrlich Company performs routine inspections, along with daily monitoring from technicians. “Even a single sighting is going to bring a crew in to access the situation,” Isaacs said. Glenn Boyet, spokesman for JC Ehrlich Company, said in an email that there haven’t been many infestations around OSU. “Ehrlich inspects every dorm monthly, and over the years, have found very few issues and only one comes to my attention revolving around mice or rodents during this time,” Boyet said. Boyet did not know the year of the occurrence but said it occurred in the past couple years noting that it was “successfully contained.” “The university does a very good job of education and doing the things that help reduce infestations of pests of any kind,” Boyet said. Isaacs said the previous incident with rats occurred because of a trash problem. He didn’t want to identify the residence hall, but said the problem was solid waste and bags of trash piling up. The trash then fell off the platform location where it was being held and rodents were getting into the waste, he said. “With vermin, we take very aggressive attacks,” Isaacs said, and added the area was cleaned and OSU hasn’t had any other issues since. Last fiscal year, Student Life spent $124,055 on pest control. The Columbus Public Health website recommends preventing rat infestations by getting rid of food sources. These include cleaning up cat, dog and bird food, as well as cleaning up garbage on the ground, taking care of garbage by bagging trash, keeping lids on garbage containers and reporting any damaged city trash cans or dumpsters to prevent rodents. Some students said rats haven’t been an issue in the dorms. Caroline DeSantis, a first-year in exploration, said she hasn’t seen any rats or signs of rats while living in Taylor Tower. “I’m on the seventh floor,” she said, “so I think it would be less of an issue.” She said that overall the dorms are kept clean, but trash buildup does happen on weekends. “They do not pick up trash on the weekends so by Sunday night it’s a little gross, especially the communal one outside the dorm,” she said. Elizabeth Peyton, a first-year in engineering, said she has not seen any rodents in her residence, Paterson Hall, either. “We have a decent amount of bugs, but no animals. I think they’re pretty good about cleaning up trash. It’s never smelled or anything,” she said. Isaacs said if students do see any evidence of rodents in the dorm to call OSU’s Service2Facilities.

campus OSU students’ biotech startup to compete for $1M LINDSEY OATES Lantern reporter oates.57@osu.edu Two Ohio State students are hoping to walk away from a national business competition with $1 million. Peeyush Shrivastava, a second-year in biomedical science, and Manny Setegn, a first-year in computer science and engineering, who met in high school, will be venturing to Buffalo, N.Y., in January as part of the 43North business competition. According to it’s website, 43North is one of the world’s largest business idea competitions that looks to award $5 million in prizes to 11 companies across the world. The business Shrivastava and Setegn plan to pitch, Genetesis LLC, aims to make data more personalized for patients with membrane excitability disorders, which include heart disease, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and epilepsy. The company also plans to eliminate guesswork of biomedical software and treatment, making it marketable to a wide audience, Shrivastava said. Genetesis received its name from a combination of “genetics” and “genesis,” he said. Shrivastava, Setegn and the other finalists — who are currently in Buffalo to pitch their businesses one last time — will be required to stay in Buffalo for one full year starting in January, said Peter Burakowski, senior marketing manager for 43North. Burakowski said four awards of $250,000, six awards of $500,000 and one prize of $1 million will be distributed to the various finalists for their businesses.

Finalists will receive mentorship, incubator space in Buffalo and guidance from 43North as added perks in the competition, Burakowski said. What this means for Genetesis, Burakowski said, is a guaranteed prize of $250,000, just for being a finalist. 43North is holding a separate “People’s Choice” award, worth an additional $10,000, that will be awarded to the startup with the most hits on their social media hashtag, Burakowski said. Shrivastava and Setegn said the hashtag for Genetesis is #43North6, which they have been pushing out heavily in tweets and mentions since being named a finalist. But the idea for Genetesis didn’t just happen over night, Shrivastava said. Shrivastava’s grandfather, whom he considers a hero, was diagnosed with heart arrhythmia — which feels like a fluttering or racing heart and occurs when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don’t function properly — and related complications when he was just 10 years of age. From then on, Shrivastava knew he wanted to create Genetesis one day. When asked if he had any fears about creating the business or the competition, he said he wasn’t afraid of failure, but rather people not believing in his company. “Failure is a mindset. If you think you’re doing everything right, you’re wrong,” Shrivastava said. “It’s very important for us to get people excited about our technology, and that is difficult to get people to do that when they think ‘Oh, he’s only 18 years old without a degree, how is he going to start a biotech company?’”

Friends turned business partners and finalists in the 43North business competition. Setegn agreed, but said his biggest personal fear is a learning gap. “The biggest thing I’m afraid of is the knowledge barrier,” he said. “There is going to be so much you don’t know, and you have to go above and beyond to figure out that stuff with the help of your peers.” Setegn said he likes the direction Genetesis is heading because he feels that people will continue to believe in them with more time and effort. As for plans for the company in Buffalo, Shrivastava said they are going to play it by ear after their mandatory year living in

Buffalo ends. “Our intentions right now are a little ambiguous. I think having plans kind of takes a little of the fun out of it,” Shrivastava said. “We love not knowing sometimes, because what it means is we have the freedom to make our own decisions.” Genetesis LLC is set to pitch the company and business plan to a team of seven judges on Thursday in Buffalo, Burakowski said. The finalists will be awarded prizes starting with an awards ceremony that evening, Burakowski said.

Steinmetz said he has no qualms about privatizing other things going forward. “From my perspective, I don’t think anything should ever be off the table,” he said. “If there’s a way we can do it more efficiently, if there’s a way we can transfer the money that we’re overspending on something to support students in our academic mission, then that’s the academic officer in me coming out.” Still, Steinmetz said there’s been little talk of privatizing anything else at the moment, and

Homeless from 1A From the experience of Sue Villilo — executive director of Faith Mission, which offers services to homeless people throughout Columbus — the homeless aren’t committing more felonious crimes than people who have homes. “People that are experiencing homelessness do not commit any more crimes than the general public, except in the nuisance crime categories — loitering and public urination, maybe,” Villilo said. Earlier this year, a homeless man was arrested and charged with three counts of rape and one count of kidnapping for reportedly raping a 21-year-old woman inside an off-campus residential garage. The case of the suspect, Randy Graham Jr., was still active as of Wednesday afternoon , according to a search on the Franklin County Clerk of Courts website. Despite that incident, Bowling said crime among homeless people varies on an individual basis and agreed with Villilo that many of the homeless population’s criminal records are comprised of misdemeanors. So the problem, Bowling said, arises from the public’s perception of those people experiencing homelessness. “The idea that people are out there asking for money creates the perception that something’s wrong — (it) creates a perception issue,” Bowling said. Because of that perception, Bowling said CPD officers are now responding to an increased number of calls in the area. “The problem for us is that our runs start to pick up

that current efforts, like privatizing utilities, are the university’s main focus right now. “We’ll look at all things that are possible that may be out there — we haven’t looked at any of these in specific, like dining I’ve heard come up a couple of times — and that’s not something at this point that we’ve said, ‘Yeah, let’s go look at it,’” he said. And while the latest privatization is still at least a year away, Steinmetz said from his perspective, faculty have so far been on board. “I’m sensing a bit of excitement about this,” he said. “I think everyone understands the enormous issue and problem it is with a campus this large — this many working parts, the buildings, the age that they are — of accomplishing something significant of the sustainability side and I think what the faculty realize — and students, by the way, too — is this, in a lot of ways,is a long-term investment as well. “We’re trying to do things right now so that 30 and 40 years from now we are still reaping the benefits of having reduced our footprint and having reduced our cost as it comes to energy.” At least one faculty member said he thinks privatizing utilities might prove helpful for the university. “There is a potential benefit here that really has everyone involved,” said Richard Dietrich, a professor at OSU’s Fisher College of Business and chair of University Senate’s Fiscal Committee. “We can improve the energy efficiency of our buildings and we can potentially reduce the cost of energy that we use on this campus by reducing the amount of energy we use on this campus.” Dietrich — who said he’s known about the initiative for about a year — said he didn’t have any outstanding reservations when he was first informed of the plan. “I think that the process is very well thought out, including making people aware at an early stage what we’re doing,” he said.

because they want certain people gone — they don’t want them there,” Bowling said. “We get the call that somebody is begging at 11th and High — go make them quit. Well, no, it doesn’t work that way. They’re allowed to be out there as long as they’re not breaking the law.” But for some students like Castrey, the increased presence of homeless individuals along High Street makes them feel uncomfortable. “They normally ask for change … I say I don’t have any,” Castrey said, adding that he sometimes gets upset because multiple homeless people will ask him for money as he walks down High Street. Still, Villilo said she thinks most people, students included, want to be helpful when they’re asked if they can “spare some money for lunch or a dollar to ride the bus.” “It’s obviously a personal preference if you want to provide money or not,” Bowling said. “Once you get past that, we advocate giving money to the Columbus (Community) Shelter Board or to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.” For those people who don’t want to give money, Villilo suggests printing off a Columbus Coalition for the Homeless streetcard, which lists various Columbus locations that offer walk-in services for homeless individuals. Above all, Villilo advocates showing kindness to people who are experiencing homelessness. “I think we’re vastly underestimating the number of people experiencing homelessness in Columbus and Franklin County,” Villilo said. “I think it’s always nice if you can be kind.”

opinion American media show bias when it comes to Islam Lantern Columnist

Picture this: you receive a breaking news notification on your phone about a shooting that took place in Chahinaz Seghiri Canada’s Senior Lantern reporter Parliament, seghiri.1@osu.edu and the first thought that comes into your head is “Please, God, do not let him be associated with Islam.” That was the first thought that came into my head. Although the shooting triggered this thought for me, the tragic situation also had me wondering why American media outlets are such biased opportunists when it comes to Islam and Muslims? As soon as the shooter was identified as being remotely associated with Islam, the words “terror,” “Jihad,” “terrorist” came flashing on the television screen. Please do not tell me these words were used without deliberation and thought, because these words were used in a purposeful manner to strike fear about Muslims. The thing is, though, the shooter was not even part of the Muslim community in Canada. He was kicked out of the mosque, which is a place where Muslims go to worship. As a Muslim myself, I know that the doors of the mosque are always open to anyone who would like to come and explore or learn about Islam, so to be kicked out of a mosque is very rare, and signals that this man was not normal. But the American media don’t let you know that information before highlighting the words “terrorism” across your screen first. What happened in Canada was a tragedy, and the solider that died did so as a hero for his country. That is something that ought to be highlighted, which is exactly what the Canadian media did through their own reporting. While scrolling through and watching different news clips from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the reports

identified the shooter without the use of the word “terrorist.” They were in fact cautious to use the word, or associate the shooter with a religion without seeking out the facts, which sounds to me a lot more like what journalism and reporting itself ought to be about. Through jumping to conclusions, the American media are only doing a disservice to the ethics of journalism. Through this realization, one can see that the American media took a topic that, of course was tragic, and sensationalized the event by using these negative trigger words. Words such as “terrorism” and “Jihad” are used by many American media organizations, such as CNN, MSNBC and FOX, as a way of bringing a negative image to Islam Police block off access to Parliament Hill after shots were fired at Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa on Oct. 22. and Muslims.

Barrett plays through the pain Sprained MCL is similar to injury Miller suffered in 2013

TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu When Urban Meyer said his quarterback had a sprained MCL, some Ohio State fans might have cringed — for good reason. It’s the second straight season the third-year OSU coach has seen his starting quarterback suffer that injury, after all. But unlike then-junior Braxton Miller — who missed two games and all but the opening drive of another with the same injury in 2013 — redshirtfreshman J.T. Barrett is expected to play this weekend after hurting his knee on Saturday against Penn State. On Monday, Meyer stressed that Barrett would play in the Buckeyes’ Saturday matchup with Illinois, and the quarterback reiterated the same point — barring unforeseen circumstances — on Wednesday. “It would have to be something drastic happen between now and Saturday at 8 o’clock,” Barrett said. “But I plan on playing Saturday.” During the Big Ten teleconference on Tuesday, Meyer said he expected Barrett to be “full-go” at practice on Wednesday, but that didn’t quite end up being the case. “He went — I wouldn’t say quite full — be he’ll be full tomorrow, they’re telling us,” Meyer said after Wednesday’s practice. “He did good, real good.” Barrett said practice went “fine” for him, and added Lantern file photo he did most of the things he Then-junior quarterback Braxton Miller missed 2 full games and most of a 3rd with a sprained MCL in 2013. would normally

do at practice, but not everything. “I was limited at first, but then today got out there and did team stuff at the end, which was good,” he said. “Dropping back, jogging a little bit, just normal things.” Junior offensive lineman Taylor Decker agreed that Barrett seemed “fine” in practice, and said the quarterback was trying to make sure he takes care of his knee. “Obviously he is trying to be careful with his knee, you don’t want to tweak it anymore,” Decker said Wednesday. “Hope to have him as healthy as possible coming back for the game, but he has looked fine to me.” While he’s been limited in practice since the injury, Barrett didn’t miss any significant time during the Buckeyes’ double-overtime win against the Nittany Lions.

Buckeyes keeping focus on Illinois JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu There is a lot going on within the Ohio State football program . Within 48 hours, OSU dismissed redshirt-senior running back Rod Smith for a violation of team rules and dropped in the first ever College Football Playoff rankings three spots from its Associated Press ranking. All this while preparing for a game against Illinois, without looking forward to its matchup against No. 8 Michigan State next week. But OSU coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday that he is not worried about motivating his players for the game against Big Ten bottom dweller Illinois (4-4, 1-3). “It depends who you are playing. If they are a really, really bad team or on video tape they are awful, then you’ve got to be creative and I’ve done that where we didn’t even show film. You just kinda chew them out or something like that and coach them real hard,” Meyer said. “This (Illinois) returner (junior cornerback V’Angelo Bentley) put it to us last year. The issue is not talent at Illinois. They have guys who can play and you can see that on videotape.” Junior offensive lineman Taylor Decker said he has looked at that videotape and has been intrigued by what he saw. “Watching their film, I was very impressed with the athletes they have. They got good players all over the

Senior tight end Jeff Heuerman (5), senior defensive lineman Michael Bennett (63) and senior linebacker Curtis Grant (14) emerge from the locker room for a game against Penn State on Oct. 25 in State College, Pa. OSU won, 31-24, in double-overtime. place. It’s definitely going to be a good challenge for us,” Decker said Wednesday. “They are just coming off a big win against Minnesota so they probably got some momentum going.” The Fighting Illini pulled off the upset of the Golden Gophers, 28-24, Oct. 25 behind 177 total yards and two scores from backup senior quarterback Reilly O’Toole. O’Toole took over full time for injured sophomore starter Wes Lunt in a 38-27 loss to Purdue on Oct. 4 and earned praise from OSU junior defensive lineman Adolphus Washington, who said

the Buckeye defense will have to worry about O’Toole’s dual threat abilities. “That quarterback is a lot more of a runner than the starter was for what I have heard,” Washington said. “We just got to contain him. I heard that he can run and throw the ball a little bit so just got to try and contain him and keep him in the pocket.” Even with the preparations looming for Illinois, Washington added it is hard not to think about the matchup with the Spartans on the horizon Nov. 8.

As junior forward Peanut Johnson was darting in front of the net to score a game-winning overtime goal, Ohio State field hockey coach Anne Wilkinson went on as if nothing special was happening. Johnson’s goal gave OSU its first Big Ten win of the season against Indiana on Oct. 17, and — more importantly — gave Wilkinson her 300th career victory. “That’s all we were thinking about,” Johnson said. “Just win for Anne. We’re really happy we got to be a part of her 300th.” Wilkinson, a West Chester, Pa., native, became the 15th coach in Division I field hockey history to reach the mark. Wilkinson’s assistant coach Homero Pardi picked her up after the game and the team celebrated by dumping ice on her. Wilkinson received roses and a picture frame from the team. Despite the team’s struggles this season, Wilkinson said she couldn’t have been happier for the group to be involved in the moment. “I was very touched,” Wilkinson said. “I was like, ‘Wow.’ I’m excited this group was a part of it. Our record (6-10, 1-6) doesn’t really show our work rate.” Despite the hoopla that took place, Wilkinson remained calm and humbled. “I was really just trying to get a win in the

Equipment manager content outside of ‘real world’ MATTHEW MCGREEVY Lantern reporter mcgreevy.21@osu.edu Tim Adams has never ventured into what he calls the “real world.” In his 18th season with the Ohio State men’s hockey team, the equipment manager has never seen the necessity. The man with a degree in natural resources has made his career within the confines of ice rinks, handling hockey equipment for the Buckeyes. Adams’ career path began at the OSU Ice Rink where he was a student employee under longtime manager Duke Johnson. Shortly after graduation, Adams received an offer he wasn’t expecting: become OSU’s equipment manager for the second half of the 1997-98 season. “I thought, ‘Hey, this will be a fun thing to do for a few years, then I’ll get out in the real world and get a real job,” Adams said. “Eighteen years later, here I am.” The job presented itself when the Buckeyes’ former equipment manager left the team mid-season to dress for the now-defunct Columbus Chill, OSU’s then-coach John Markell said. On New Year’s Eve of 1997, Markell, shorthanded, asked Johnson to serve as temporary equipment manager during a road series against Michigan. Shortly after, Markell requested an equipment manager for the rest of the season. Johnson recommended Adams for the position. “He was here the longest, had the most experience and he liked hockey,” Johnson said of Adams. “He probably had as much hockey experience as any of the kids working here.”

Adams learned basic skate sharpening and skate repair skills during his time at the OSU Ice Rink, but had to familiarize himself with some of the job’s non-technical requirements such as operating a budget and ordering custom equipment, he said. The learning curve brought valuable lessons. After packing heavy for the first couple road trips, Adams gradually realized what he needed to take with the team and what he could leave in Columbus, he said. Fellow equipment managers from opposing teams guided his development, Adams said. “The equipment guys are kind of a fraternity in their own right,” Adams said. “We aren’t winning or losing the games for our teams.” For the Buckeyes, winning wasn’t a problem once Adams joined the team. After going 9-10-1 through New Year’s weekend, the Buckeyes went 18-3-1 for the remainder of the regular season. The second-half surge was enough to boost OSU in its only Frozen Four appearance in school history. After the season, Markell switched the equipment manager’s position from part-time to full-time, he said. Adams was offered to continue with the team. “There was no thought of ever having (Adams) replaced and I was very happy that he wanted to take it on full-time,” Markell said. “I think he was excited about the direction of the program.” Markell, who was replaced in 2010 and now coaches two Ohio AAA Blue Jackets girls hockey teams, said Adams’

sports OPINION

Momentum zapped under college hockey format MATTHEW MCGREEVY Lantern reporter mcgreevy.21@osu.edu If it weren’t for the marching bands, there would be no rhythm in college hockey. The weekend-loaded schedule is a killer. Ohio State men’s hockey team might relearn that lesson this weekend when it comes off a bye week to face Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. The Buckeyes, who last played Oct. 18, will face the Golden Griffins nearly two weeks after their last game. OSU’s bye week has extended its wait to play, but the precedent holds true: college hockey is two days of fun and five days of waiting. Friday-Saturday series occupy the weekends, then a week of practices invariably zaps a team’s momentum and any buzz created around its recent success. It’s no fault of the team, practice only goes so far. For example, the Buckeyes can’t realistically replicate game-like speed and physicality during a midweek practice in an empty rink. Work rate can be heightened, but emotion can’t be feigned. Point being, five consecutive practices can do only so much and, for better or for worse, they’re key components of the college hockey schedule. Sure, practices are crucial to a team’s development, but

Barrett from 5A second game of the 2013 season against San Diego State University, and didn’t return to the field until week five against Wisconsin. Despite the stark contrast in the amount of time missed, Meyer said Barrett’s injury is “very similar” to the one Miller suffered just over a year earlier. But he was sure to stick to his expertise when addressing why Barrett could play when Miller could not. “I’m not a doctor,” Meyer said. “(Barrett’s injury is) probably not as severe.” Meyer added that MCL sprains are fairly common and don’t require surgery, and went on to say some players simply react differently to injuries. “Everybody is built differently, I guess, but once again, I’m not a doctor,” he said. As he decided to leave speculation out of the picture and trust the medical experts when it comes to the differences between Miller’s injury and Barrett’s, Meyer said he listened to his medical staff after the initial injury as well. “At halftime, they said he got an MCL sprain,” Meyer said. “I said, ‘how bad?’ And they said, ‘well, we’ll see how it goes.’” Apart from one drive when redshirtsophomore quarterback Cardale Jones, redshirt-freshman H-back Jalin Marshall and

their place in the college hockey schedule tasks them with maintaining any momentum created during the previous weekend. During a normal two-week set, a team finishes their series on Saturday, then takes the next five days riding the ebbs and flows of the week until Friday. By the time a team begins its next series, last weekend’s momentum is gone. Granted, the five-day hiatus can be advantageous. In the most recent case with OSU, the break acts as a stopgap after two tough losses, but most noticeably, the break kills the vibe a team takes from a series sweep. There’s an argument to be made that the Buckeyes might not even benefit from their break because it lasted one week longer than usual. The bye week put OSU in a position where it spent a week coming down from a pair of losses, followed by five days of preparation. But in the spirit of Halloween, let’s play devil’s advocate and say the Buckeyes benefit from a 13-day break. Even if OSU goes unbeaten in November, its sterling 10-game streak would be, yet again, interrupted by month-long winter break. For those players hoping to play professionally, the college hockey schedule hardly prepares them for the future. This, among other reasons, is why playing in the Canadian Hockey League is a more attractive option for some prospects. Those playing major junior hockey play 68 regular season games compared to the typical 34 found on a college hockey schedule. Understandably, college hockey players are students first

sophomore H-back Dontre Wilson all took snaps, Barrett didn’t miss any game time after spraining his knee. Barrett — who tore his right ACL in the last game he played at Rider High School in Wichita Falls, Texas, before spraining his left MCL against the Nittany Lions — said he’d never played through a similar injury in the past. He added he wouldn’t have stepped back on the field if he wasn’t fully ready to play. “I’ve actually really never played with an injury to this degree,” he said. “But I knew that I could take a drop, I could run, so it was just one of those things like, ‘Hey man, if you play, you play.’ It’s not like going in there half stepping, because if so, the team could use a Cardale Jones that could go full-go.” Even after playing through it on Saturday, Decker said Barrett is likely still hurting in practice this week. “I’m sure he has got some pain but he played the whole second half with it, so I have no doubts that he will be back and be ready,” he said. Barring “something drastic,” Barrett is set to lead the Buckeyes against the Fighting Illini on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

Members of the OSU men’s hockey team are introduced before an exhibition against Guelph on Oct. 4 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 7-1. and benefit from an uninterrupted week of academics, but is this not true for other NCAA players whose sports schedule midweek games? Maybe it’s the brutality of the sport and need for more recovery time that separates hockey from other college sports, but if that’s the case, then back-to-back games seem counter-intuitive. As it is, the Friday-Saturday schedule is a momentum zapper for college hockey teams and the Buckeyes are no exception. Here’s to another restart on Friday.

Focus from 5A “We obviously worry about Michigan State but right now we just got to focus on Illinois,” he said. Decker added that there should be no reason for the Buckeyes to look ahead because of how they performed against Penn State in their previous game. “A lot of people probably thought we were going to in there and blow out Penn State and that didn’t happen,” Decker said. “We obviously have a lot to work on and I don’t think there is any chance you can look forward to a game when you have a lot to work on yourself.” Decker said if the Buckeyes want to win, they cannot let what happened to the Golden Gophers happen to them. “Minnesota is a good team, a really good team, and probably surprised some people this year coming out and playing like they have,” he said. “Illinois is coming off a big win against them, probably caught them sleeping. We don’t want the same thing to happen to us.” Heading into the game against Illinois, their eighth of the season, the Buckeyes are ranked No. 16 in the first ever College Football Playoff rankings.

Meyer said he briefly addressed his team on the Buckeyes’ new ranking but added the goals OSU has set out to achieve are still achievable despite the lower ranking. “The ultimate objective is to be competing for championships in November and when you look on the calendar, that’s really close to now,” Meyer said. “We had a little extra motivation for Wednesday practice in late October so I just talk about those kind of things.” Washington said he wasn’t even aware of the rankings until Meyer talked to the team. “I honestly didn’t watch it, I didn’t hear about it until coach Meyer said something about it,” Washington said. “He said as long as we keep doing what we are doing we will move up and everything will be fine.” As for what most are calling the game of the year in the Big Ten looms, Decker said Illinois remains the top priority. “There is no chance we could ever overlook anything because if we are looking forward to that (Michigan State game), and we lose this game, it doesn’t even matter,” he said. The Buckeyes and Fighting Illini are scheduled to kickoff at 8 p.m. Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

conference,” Wilkinson said. “I’m not one to focus on records, though they are big.” Wilkinson grew up on the East Coast, about an hour outside of Philadelphia. Her face is still “painted green” for her Philadelphia Eagles and she still describes herself as a “Philly girl.” After playing field hockey and lacrosse at Delaware and leading the Blue Hens to the lacrosse national title in 1983, Wilkinson moved on to become field hockey coach at American University in Washington, D.C., in 1987. A lifelong East Coast resident, it wasn’t until Wilkinson visited Columbus that she realized how much she loved the tradition at OSU. “When I came out to Ohio State and saw the playground I would get to play in, I was like, ‘Wow,’” she said. “Being a part of the Ohio State athletic department is a dream come true.” Since becoming OSU’s coach in 1996, Wilkinson has accumulated 221 victories and numerous memories, she said. In 2010, Wilkinson led OSU to the program’s first NCAA Final Four in school history after defeating Syracuse, 3-2, in overtime in the second round. She said she’d never forget then-junior midfielder Aisling Coyle throwing her stick in the air after hitting the game-winning penalty stroke. Freshman forward Annabel Sams said Wikinson always gets the best out of her players because she is something of a team mom. “We have a really good set up for warming up before games, really good pregame meal and she always makes sure we’re focused,” Sams said. “If anyone’s having issues, we can talk about it and then (Wilkinson will) tell us what to do and we really improve.” Wilkinson’s tutelage produced 22 All-Americans and 66 All-Big Ten selections in her first 18 seasons in Columbus.

success was a result of his organization and passion for the game. OSU coach Steve Rohlik, who replaced former Buckeye coach Mark Osiecki in 2013, is the third coach with whom Adams has worked. He echoed Markell’s thoughts. “He’ll die for this program, he’s passionate for this program, he’ll do what it takes,” Rohlik said. “That’s just the person he is.” Despite the turnover of coaches, Adams maintains his daily structure. During the week, Adams is at the rink by 8 a.m. and out at about 4:30 p.m. His shift is extended on gamedays. He pulls double-duty for home games, as he’s responsible for handling the visiting team’s laundry as well as OSU’s. The process can delay his departure until 12:30 a.m. on Fridays and 10:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Adams made $60,524 in 2013 — $14,180 was overtime pay. The players he accommodates are appreciative of his work. “He’s always been great,” senior forward Matt Johnson said. “Whenever you need something, he’s always got it for you.” As the longest-tenured member of the Buckeyes , Adams has done his best to meet the needs of the players, a task sometimes complicated by unusual requests. “It’s always to do with skates,” Adams said. “When you get that weird stuff to do with players, it’s always to do with skates.” Adams meets the needs of his team without making personal judgments, he said. In-game requests to change a skate’s cut are met with nods, not inquiries. An hour after a midweek practice, it was a request for new shorts that took Adams’ attention. Prior to the request, Adams’ phone had buzzed three times. For a man who works outside the “real world,” his job seems quite demanding.

BEN JACKSON / For The Lantern

OSU field hockey coach Anne Wilkinson won her 300th career game on Oct. 17 when the Buckeyes beat Indiana, 2-1, in overtime. Despite the success, Wilkinson said she still finds it difficult to recruit top East Coast field hockey talent to come play in the Midwest. “They think we’re in a different time zone,” Wilkinson said, referencing OSU’s proximity from major talent pools like Philadelphia and New Jersey. But players often fall in love with the tradition the way Wilkinson did, she said. Wilkinson still goes home to Pennsylvania for the holidays or to check out high school field hockey action, but she has not tired from her job at OSU. The 27-year veteran coach said she wants to continue to convey her passion for the game as long as she physically is able. “I’m a coach. I’m a teacher,” she said. “This is what I really enjoy.”

Alumna awarded by Oscars organization DENISE BLOUGH Lantern reporter blough.24@osu.edu

Hannibal Buress attends the ‘Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs’ held at the Beacon Theatre in New York on Oct. 13, 2012.

‘Broad City’ Live, Hannibal Buress set at OSU gets positive feedback DANIEL BENDTSEN Asst. arts editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu Key and Peele, Bill Hader and Louis CK have all come to Ohio State in recent years — now the responsible organization, the Ohio Union Activities Board, is bringing Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, stars of Comedy Central’s “Broad City,” to campus, and some students are expressing excitement. The Nov. 10 event, which is also set to include stand-up comedian Hannibal Buress, is part of the stars’ “Broad City Live” tour, which takes the duo across the country, performing a comedy variety show with stand-up and videos. Each night is set to be centered around a different theme, with shows including themes such as “positive thinking” and “bucket list.”

“The comedy events this semester have been incredible. Key and Peele are two of the best comedians working right now. Bringing ‘Broad City’ and Hannibal Buress is a really cool move by (OUAB).”

Ohio State alumna Sallie West’s screenplay, “Moonflower,” is quickly gaining prominence after being awarded a Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting earlier this month, a title given annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. West took a break from her longtime science writing career to do freelance work and explore writing fiction, which she had always wanted to do but had never gotten around to. She submitted “Moonflower” to the screenwriting competition in spite of believing her odds of winning a Nicholl Fellowship were slim Courtesy of Sallie West to none. Alumna Sallie West “I knew the chances were impossible, but I just submitted it to see where in the world it might place,” West said. “And look what happened. It’s almost like a Cinderella story, seriously.” AMPAS (better known for overseeing the Oscars) grants up to five Academy Nicholl Fellowships each year, the recipients of which are chosen through a rigorous judging process that entails six rounds of advancement, said Joan Wai, the Academy Nicholl Fellowships program manager. Each fellow receives a $35,000 stipend from AMPAS, Wai said, on the condition that they develop a feature-length screenplay within a year. This year, the Academy Nicholl Fellowships Committee ultimately decided the four winning scripts out of 7,511 submissions, a record high. Although there were more applications than ever, this is the first time in nearly 20 years that only four out of the five fellowships were given, Wai said. “Moonflower,” described by Wai as a romantic drama, depicts how the lives of a cellist and a luthier (someone who makes

Four scripts, pictured above, out of 7,511 submissions from different writers, were awarded a fellowship of $35,000 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on the condition that the writer developes a feature-length screenplay within a year. or repairs lutes) intertwine. Much of the plot plays on the main characters’ careers, which are fueled by their ardor for classical music. West said that this common passion is a large part of what draws the two together. “I wanted to write a story about a pair of people who were really well-suited to each other, but were separated by time,” she said. “And even though they are separated by a generation, they fall in love.” AMPAS acquires no rights to the works of Nicholl Fellows, Wai said, and all scripts are read blind, without indication of the author’s name, city, state or gender. West graduated from OSU in 1977 with an English degree, and went on to do several technical writing jobs at institutions such as Battelle, BAE Systems Inc., Duke University and most recently, the National Ocean Service. Her extensive writing background and knowledge of classical music contributed to the success of “Moonflower,” she said. “When you work with words and

language your whole life, writing becomes easy,” she said. “So for me, the difficult part wasn’t the writing; it was coming up with the creative ideas and plot.” John Davidson, director of OSU’s Film Studies program, said although he doesn’t know West, her achievement is quite remarkable in the film industry world because she turned to it so late in her career. “I’m sure many of the people who win this have been working at it for a while,” he said. “So I think it’s absolutely fabulous, and really a great tribute to her talents.” OSU didn’t have a film studies major when West attended the university, but the interdisciplinary program has seen a steady increase in students since its start nine years ago, with about 215 enrolled currently. It even accommodates a screenwriting focus, Davidson said. A third-generation OSU graduate and

A little bit of Japan adorns Short North

- Mitra Jouhari fourth-year in psychology and member of 8th Floor Improv

“The event will feature Abbi and Ilana in ‘Broad City Live,’ a live rendition of their show they developed a few years ago when ‘Broad City’ was a popular web series with a cult following,” Joey Kaiser, OUAB’s comedy chair and a third-year in finance, said in an email. ”Overall, we are very excited to bring these up-and-coming comedians for Ohio State students.” “Broad City” premiered on Comedy Central in January and features Jacobson and Glazer in a comedy about 20-something New Yorkers. Hannibal Buress is a cast member on “Broad City” and a former writer on “Saturday Night Live.” He has also become a stand-up staple on late-night talk shows in recent years. He has performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Conan.” Mitra Jouhari, a fourth-year in psychology and member of OSU’s 8th Floor Improv Comedy Group, expressed excitement for the event. “I hope it generates a bigger fan base for the show than it already has,” she said. “I’ve seen them live before, and it’s really fun, so I hope connecting to them as people will get others to watch the show.” Buress and the “Broad City” stars are some the highest-caliber stars in comedy, Jouhari said. “Hannibal Buress is actually one of my favorite stand-up comedians. I really like his stage presence,” Jouhari said. “I love the show — it’s my favorite show on TV. I think it has amazing writing and really good performances from everyone on it.” She doesn’t pay attention to most of OUAB’s events, but said she’s been impressed so far by its comedy events this year. “The comedy events this semester have been incredible. Key and Peele are two of the best comedians working right now. Bringing ‘Broad City’ and Hannibal Buress

Above and upper right: The interior of Gotcha Gachapon, a new pop-up shop located at 997 N. High St. that is devoted to Japanese animation Right: The storefront of Gotcha Gachapon Courtesy of Gotcha Gachapon

AMANDA ETCHISON Senior Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu From the outside, Gotcha Gachapon seems just like another store lining High Street in the Short North. But once inside, surrounded by big-eyed plush toys, flashing arcade games and rows upon rows of manga books, guests are transported to a Japanese boutique seemingly plucked straight from the streets of Tokyo. Founded by two friends who met at an anime convention in 2008, Gotcha Gachapon is a pop-up shop devoted to Japanese animation, arcade games and comics that opened earlier this month. It is currently housed on the first floor of Maotef Comic and Gifts in the Short North. Shane Mack, co-founder of Gotcha Gachapon, said he hopes to eventually move the business into its own separate retail location, but said the plan is to stick with Maotef for the “forseeable future.” Gotcha Gachapon, which opened about a month ago, is filling a hole in the Columbus market, Mack said. “We knew that there was a niche market

that was not being fulfilled with other businesses … It is very difficult to find animerelated products,” he said. “For fans, they usually rely solely on anime conventions. They will save up their money all year for the convention and then go crazy and buy a whole bunch at once because it is almost impossible to find the products (in) retail (stores).“ Although Gotcha Gachapon offers the convenience of finding anime products in one retail location, it is the convention environment that Mack and co-founder Anthony Locke said they hope customers experience when visiting the store. “We have been importing Japanese arcade games and really trying to make it like a miniature convention,” Locke said.

The store also offers some experiences that are typically under-represented at anime conventions, including the machines after which the store takes its name, Locke added. “We decided one night that the only thing we had never seen at a convention was gachapon machines,” he said. “They are so popular in Japan.” Gachapon machines resemble American quarter machines that dispense small trinkets or toys in round plastic capsules. Customers insert a specific amount of coins into slots on the exterior of the machine and then turn a knob to retrieve the prize. “They tend to feature anime products

restaurant review

The Table offers inventive, diverse menu aly gordon Lantern reporter gordon.847@osu.edu A heaping portion of Mystery Meat à la carte, a splash of Special Sauce atop a bed of — is that lettuce? Rice? Such is the menu — an eerily tasty blur of mysterious mediocrity — at myriad campus operations. But never fear: If you care about what you’re ingesting, a number of nearby off-campus venues serve up fresh, farm-to-table fare. One such venue? The Table. Driven by the mantra “Fork responsibly,” a commitment to local and environmentally conscious sourcing, this surprising and simple Short North venue serves up high quality food in an intimate, refreshing environment. Situated at 21 E. Fifth Ave., it’s just a quick bus ride down High Street. Framed by high ceilings and a vast wall of windows, the dimly lit interior is spacious, yet peppered with careful details: a candle here, a wine bottle-turned-vase there. The open kitchen adds a relaxed, cozy dimension — a rustic simplicity. Environmental consciousness extends beyond food sourcing decisions, with

Reckless rock

its china and wood paneling either recycled or repurposed. Now to the food. To tide us over, we ordered a basket of house-made bread, generously packed with ciabatta, baguette and whole grain slices. Was it the subtle notes of salt, occasional nuttiness, or all-around-freshness that transformed me, quite literally, into a human vacuum? Along with the bread, we ordered the charcuterie plate, which, with various mix-and-match cheese and house– cured meat options, could easily add up (we, for example, ordered three selections for $15). The plate’s presentation made me again transform, albeit briefly, from human vacuum into Iggy Azalea (that fancy). The garnishes — a dash of Dijon mustard, a brush of mixed-berry jam, a peculiar chunk of red-pepper-pineapple jelly — were not just garnishes; they added dimension to the dish, a diversity of flavor that bolstered the scrumptious yet mild Gouda and roast beef. At first, the menu seems small — not quite the 252-page food-rotica novel of, say, Bob Evans. But what it lacks in quantity is more than made up for in quality and inventiveness, appealing to a variety of tastes and preferences. Zesty and intriguing plates like “Thai Mussels” ($15) and “Squash Ribbons” ($8) sit alongside a host of entree options: some as

simple as “Chicken” ($20), others more culturally inclined like the Indian inspired “Curried Chickpeas” ($17). The main course came out in the nick of time, just as my bread-to-blood ratio was reaching dangerous highs. I ordered the “Squash Fondue” ($18): sherry-sage Brie atop quinoa and wild mushrooms, all served within a roasted acorn squash. Though not quite in line with my veryAmerican expectations (think chocolate-fountain), the dish was rich but not too rich — flavorful and dynamic. The squash was sweet and mild, if not a little undercooked, but generally satisfying. With all this in mind, I was impressed by The Table. A degree of transparency and care with respect to ingredients — an artful attention to process, presentation and flavor — worked in confluence with an authentic atmosphere for a satisfying experience. Small, subtle additions likewise added an element of surprise (Did I ask for pickled okra with my cheese? No. Did I enjoy it? You bet I did). Intrigued? The Table offers brunch and lunch from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and dinner from 4-10 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, with dinner hours extended to 11 p.m. on Friday.

This short comment made by Longenecker — now retired — had a huge influence, West said, and helped her believe in herself as a writer. “If you’re doing something creative, your mind gives you reasons as to why you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing, and I’m here to tell you: don’t listen to that voice,” she said. “If it’s pleasant and you’re enjoying it, do it for that reason alone.” West said she has a few ideas in the making for scripts she’d like to work on in the coming year, and she’s already gotten a head start on one of them. The Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting were founded as a local contest in 1985 by Gee Nicholl and Julian, widow of English-American screenwriter and producer Don Nicholl. The geographic scope of the competition has since turned international. To enter, the writer must use English and cannot have previously sold or optioned a screen or teleplay, Wai said. Many Nicholl Fellows have gone on to craft acclaimed television series and Hollywood films, playing major roles in writing titles like “The Ring,” the “Transformers” trilogy, “The Vampire Diaries,” episodes of “Sex and the City,” “Erin Brockovich” and more. The youngest person to have received an Academy Nicholl Fellowship was 21, and the oldest 66, Wai said. “Clearly there are a lot of people out there generating scripts, and the electronic application process had made it easier to turn them in,” Davidson said. “The competition is certainly broader, and it’s harder to float to the top.” The winners will get official acknowledgement at the 2014 Academy Nicholl Fellowships Screenwriting Awards & Live Read at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Nov. 13. West currently resides in Charleston, S.C., but still thinks fondly of her time at OSU. “I remember being 10 years old and going to OSU football games with my dad,” she said. “The games always remind me of my parents and my earliest memories, and they have a really special place in my heart for that reason.”

Abbi Jacobson (left) and Ilana Glazer of the Comedy Central show ‘Broad City’ are set to come to OSU on Nov. 10 in an OUAB-sponsored event.

Broad City from 9A is a really cool move by (OUAB) because it’s kind of cutting edge right now,” Jouhari said. Vince DeJulius, a first-year in exploration, also said he’s especially excited for Buress. “I really like Hannibal Buress and his style — he reminds me of Eddie Murphy,” he said. “OUAB’s done a great job of putting together events, and they’ve put on lots of cool events.” Brennan Dzierzek, a third-year in communication, also said he has been impressed by the people OUAB has brought. “OUAB’s getting the big names who are blowing up right now,” he said. “I was really excited for Chance the Rapper. He’s a real rising star.” Sarah Jerels, a fourth-year in communication, said she’s excited to see how “Broad City” translates on stage. “I love that it shows the modern woman struggling in New York — it’s so relatable to me,” Jerels

Chop Shop from 1A Over the years, The Chop Shop’s location has been the home of several bars that have come and gone. But Bannan isn’t concerned about that. “We’re doing a fresh concept,” Bannan said. “I think it’s almost like a brand new beginning at that place, so we’re not worried.” Despite Bannan’s assertions that The Chop Shop’s high quality burgers are a new addition to the area, Doug Rawson — a manager at the Five Guys at 1603 N. High St. — said it’s a product his restaurant already offers. “Our beef is quality,” he said. “It’s some of the best you can get, so I mean, I don’t see any competition in this new place at all.” Rawson also said he doesn’t expect The Chop Shop to affect Five Guys’ success. “Do I expect differences in our business? No, not

said. “Ilana’s character is just so boisterous, so I can only imagine that the energy on stage or in person would be tenfold, especially unedited. All of the top names that OUAB is bringing in will really pull in the outliers.” Meanwhile, several other students were both unfamiliar with the show and the events that OUAB has put together this year. Victoria Gonzalez, a first-year in neuroscience, a third-year in special education, both said OUAB could do more to let students know about upcoming events. “I don’t think I’m well-informed on what’s usually coming … so if it were advertised more, I would have a better idea of what’s going on,” Gonzalez said. The “Broad City” performance is set to take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom on Nov. 10, with the ticket release Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Ohio Union information desk.

and high-quality, buildable (collectible) figures,” Locke said. “Gachapon” is an onomatopoeia for the sound the machine makes when it dispenses the capsules, Mack said. “When you turn (the knob), it kind of sounds like ‘gacha gacha,’ and then ‘pon’ is the sound of the little capsule being dispensed,” he said. The word has been generalized to describe collectible trading toys, often called “blind boxes” in America, that are packaged so that customers do not know what exact figurine out of a set they have purchased until they open the box or gachapon capsule. “(Blind purchases like gachapon) are pretty much what we specialize in,” Mack said. “You don’t know what you are going to get.” The store’s gachapon machines line a wall in a room toward the back of the firstfloor shop that also contains a growing collection of Japanese arcade games. “We are really excited to expand the gaming aspect (of our store),” Locke said. “There are no arcades around here … that have games like the ones we have.” Currently, Gotcha Gachapon owns two Japanese arcade games — a first-person shooting game that uses motion sensors to mirror players’ actions called “Police 911” and “Percussion Master,” which is a rhythmic music game. Other games, such as “Dance Dance Revolution” and “Jubeat,” a DJ simulation game, are expected to arrive at the store in the coming weeks, Locke said.

Mack and Locke said most of the products sold at Gotcha Gachapon come directly from Japan, and buying in bulk allows them to offer the imported goods at prices that are more affordable than convention prices. “If you wanted to stock up, it is very affordable to buy a whole bunch of stuff (here) compared to at an anime convention,” Mack said. Most products in the store are below $20, Locke added. Capsules from the store’s gachapon machines are priced at about $1 each. Jason Huang, a second-year in molecular genetics who said he enjoys watching anime in his spare time, said that while he has not visited Gotcha Gachapon yet, he is interested to see if the store has a Blu-ray selection of anime. “I will probably check it out eventually … they will probably get some sales based on Blu-ray and the figurines that they have,” he said. Locke said Gotcha Gachapon plans to continue to add to its inventory throughout the year, and photos of new shipments will be posted to the store’s Facebook page. “You can just about expect (new products) nearly every day,” he said. “We are constantly going to be changing.” Gotcha Gachapon is set to participate in the Short North Gallery Hop on Saturday. A reception featuring extended store hours and complimentary drinks is scheduled to be held at the store from noon to midnight. Gotcha Gachapon is located on the first floor of Maotef Comic and Gifts at 997 N. High St.

at all,” he said. “We had the Red Robin that opened down the street last year, it didn’t affect us at all.” A store manager for the 3592 N. High St. Wendy’s declined to comment Wednesday night, and management at the McDonald’s could not be reached. Alex Boone — a former Ohio State football player and current guard for the San Francisco 49ers — is investing in The Chop Shop, along with John Kastelic and Cynthia Massimianis. Kastelic and Massimiani own both The Big Bar and The Little Bar. “We want to get energetic, friendly people who want to work with food and people,” Bannan said. The restaurant should be open by the beginning of 2015, he said. “I just want to see us do good, put out a great quality and hopefully one day expand,” Bannan said.
