“If we’d known how bad our landlord was going to be, we would’ve never signed the lease, and if we’d known there was a bug problem, we never would have lived there.”

Matt Schmitz, a fourth-year in welding engineering at Ohio State, has had more than a little bad luck when it comes to renting in the off-campus area.

His dissatisfaction with his experience is shared among many students who choose to live off-campus, but OSU is working to implement a program that aims to help students avoid situations like Schmitz’s.

“Last year when we moved in, there were still couches left behind and a load of dirty dishes in the sink,” Schmitz said. “We didn’t have running water or (smoke detectors) for the first few weeks.”

After his landlord was unresponsive about fixing the problems, Schmitz and his roommates met with OSU Student Legal Services, a law office that provides legal advice to students, and decided to put their rent in escrow, meaning have a third-party service hold the money, rather than paying their landlord until the issues were addressed.

Schmitz and his roommates are still in the process of trying to collect all the court-ordered money their former landlord owes them, although they moved out of the residence in August when their one-year lease was up.

In Schmitz’s current off-campus home, his roommates are dealing with another kind of pest — a cockroach infestation. Schmitz said, however, his new landlord has had an exterminator come to combat the problem.

Last year when we moved in, there were still couches behind and a load of dirty dishes in the sink. We didn’t have running water or (smoke detectors) for the first few weeks.

Matt Schmitz Fourth-year in welding engineering “At least my landlord is doing something about it,” he said. “But how were we supposed to know about this when we signed the lease?”

The Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program was recently established by the Office of Student Life as a response to “landlord requests for increased collaboration with the university, and parent and student requests for additional information about off-campus housing and off-campus living,” said Neighborhood Services and Collaboration program coordinator Alex Sanchez.

Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp said all students should know what they’re getting into before they sign a lease, part of the goal driving OSU’s new program.

“My goal is, if you’re a student like me who wants to live in a cheap property off-campus, now you’re going to be able to do that still, but at least you’ll know what you’re getting yourself into,” Stepp said.

“If you want to invest a great deal of money into a nice property, if you can afford that, you’re going to know what you’re getting in both capacities.”

Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs, has had his own issues during his off-campus living experience.

“When I lived off-campus my sophomore

year, my ceiling in my closet fell in,” Stepp said.

“My landlord didn’t repair it for something like six months. I didn’t have the proper information about a recourse to take, I didn’t have the proper information on my landlord, and if I would have, then perhaps I wouldn’t have been in that situation.”

Stepp said hearing situations of students being taken advantage of by landlords led him to envision what OSU could do to help.

“USG puts out a renter’s guide every year … and it details student perspectives on landlords, but we wanted some sort of stamp of approval by the university,” Stepp said. “Then we also kind of separately wanted to make sure that we weren’t having these slumlords off campus that were taking advantage of students, having them live in houses that weren’t up to code, so then those two ideas kind of merged in together to the housing standards of excellence which we have right now.”

The new OSU program consists of three components: home visits, education, and eventually, enhanced rental property information. Sanchez said the education component has already been implemented through outreach programs like the first-year success series and Second-year Transformational Experience Program safety workshop, and home visits should start within the next few weeks.

“It’s a Student Life initiative, but we’re partnering with the (Columbus Division of Fire) to do the home visits,” Sanchez said. “So we’re focusing on safety, security and environmental sustainability, because those are the — based on responses and requests from students — those are those issues that they are most interested (in).”

Landlords can elect to participate in the home visits, which entail Sanchez and a representative

After her freshman year at Eastern Michigan University, Lindsay Crockett wanted more from her college experience.

“There was absolutely no sense of community at Eastern,” said Crockett, a fourth-year in Spanish and human development and family sciences. “This included sporting events and the dorms. Everyone in my dorm kept their doors closed at all times.”

Crockett left the school and is now one of 2,513 undergraduate transfer students at Ohio State’s main campus, according to a report by the Office of Enrollment Services Analysis and Reporting. There are more than 44,200 undergraduate students enrolled at OSU’s Columbus campus for Fall Semester 2013, according to the OSU Statistics website.

Some of those transfer students said they’re dealing with heavier course loads to make up for lost credits because of their transition, while others said they have had to get creative to get involved around campus.

Crockett, who transferred to OSU partially with hopes of regaining a sense of school pride, ended up paying for the switch in part with academic credits, keeping credit for general education courses but not for her lower level Spanish classes, which she said has caught up to her.

“It just sucks that a lot of the people in my Spanish classes are either freshmen or sophomores, which makes me feel kind of dumb,” Crockett said.

OSU staff members did their best to help Crockett’s academic transition, even though not all credits transferred, she said.

“My advisers worked hard to make sure my classes transferred, which was very helpful,” she said.

Whether or not transfer credits are accepted by OSU is based on a standard policy, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said.

“Ohio State University has established a transfer credit policy which is consistent with the Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy of the Ohio Board of Regents,” Lewis said in an email.

He said the policy is designed to help transfer students’ credits from one college or university to another in a way that aims to maximize what they’ve already learned.

For some students coming to OSU after their freshman year, the adjustment to the university can be somewhat jarring, from counting credits to making friends.

“I wish there was a way to meet people,” Crockett said, “because not living in the dorms really put a hold on making friends.”

The Transfer Student Activities Board was created to ease the transition, Tura Magley, a graduate administrative associate with OSU First Year Experience, said in an email.

“The upperclass transfer students involved with TSAB plan, coordinate and facilitate FYE programs and efforts that specifically serve transfer students including educational and social events, keeping in mind that transfer students have different needs than first-year students coming to college for the first time,” Magley said.

TSAB is set to host several events, including a

Mid-year transfers can have a rough time acclimating after the school year has already started, said John Mercurio, a fourth-year in economics who transferred from Miami University for Winter Quarter 2011 during his freshman year.

“My Winter and Spring Quarter, I didn’t know what was going on,” Mercurio said. “(OSU has) a huge campus, obviously.”

Mercurio spent his first two quarters at OSU hanging out with high school friends. The following

It’s been almost 700 days since the Ohio State football team last lost a game, but who’s counting?

Apparently Marcus Otte, a second-year in exercise science and the man behind @LastTimeOSULost, a new trending Twitter account that emphasizes the amount of time the Buckeyes have gone undefeated.

The team’s most recent loss was Jan. 2, 2012, against Florida in the Gator Bowl. OSU lost, 24-17.

Otte opened the account leading up to this year’s game against Pennsylvania State University Oct. 26.

After about three weeks and more than 70 tweets, the page has gained more than 8,900 followers.

“It took one tweet — one good tweet — and then the next morning, I woke up with like a thousand followers,” Otte said.

That tweet pointed out that the last time OSU lost, Snapchat, a smartphone picture app, wasn’t popular yet. It was retweeted more than 2,500 times.

Though Snapchat was released in September 2011, it didn’t gain traction until later in 2012.

Eric Damian, a fifth-year in civil engineering, said that was the tweet that made him take notice of the account.

“I think they had roughly 50 tweets at that time and I read through every single one and I just knew I had to follow them,” Damian said. “They’ve definitely turned into my favorite follow on Twitter.”

Students aren’t the only ones following the account. @LastTimeOSULost has also gained follows from

accounts such as the official Brutus Buckeye Twitter account, Otte said.

The increased popularity of the page has led to some pressure for Otte.

“All day I have to think of a tweet about something that happened back in January of 2012. It’s tough,” Otte said. “I’ll just be sitting around trying to think of some ideas some days, and then other days an idea will just pop into my head when I’m not even thinking about it.”

Out of all the tweets, Otte said he is most proud of one that chronicles the change in Miley Cyrus’s physical appearance, from a brunette with long hair to a blonde with a partially shaved head. It was retweeted more than 3,000 times.

“Miley Cyrus actually looked like a normal person the last time Ohio State lost and I had a picture of her,” Otte said. “A lot of people liked that one.”

For some students, it’s the humor of the page that keeps them hooked.

“It’s pretty witty and funny,” said Julia Jordan, a thirdyear in hospitality management. “It’s all in good fun.”

Though @LastTimeOSULost runs on the success of the football team, if the Buckeyes lost, Otte said he would probably tweet something along the lines of “Whoops” and continue tweeting from the account in case the Buckeyes had another winning streak.

Still, Otte said he’s confident the team will keep succeeding.

“People will say, ‘Oh, this is a jinx,’” Otte said. “But it doesn’t seem like a jinx so far.”

campus OSU 4-Miler draws runners to Ohio Stadium 50-yard line MiChELLE rittEr Lantern reporter ritter.1449@osu.edu Although the Ohio State football team had a bye week over the weekend, about 10,000 runners and walkers still made it into the Ohio Stadium.

The first Ohio State Four-Miler event Sunday was a celebration of “football and fitness” for participants. A portion of the event’s proceeds were donated to the Urban and Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research, which contributes its funds to the Wexner Medical Center James Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Everyone who participated made history, as it was the largest inaugural race held in the state of Ohio, race director David Babner said.

“The race was unbelievable. It was an incredible celebration of football and fitness,” Babner said.

“We were 10,000 strong … After they ran their four miles, they got to finish right here on the 50-yard line at Ohio Stadium. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

Babner said hosting the event was important to him as a way to start a tradition connecting community members with OSU athletic teams.

“When we got the opportunity to partner with Ohio State and the Ohio State Department of Athletics and combine fitness with football, it just caught on like crazy,” Babner said. “You got a football team that is 21-0, you are able to celebrate on the same field that they play on week in and week out, and it was just an unbelievable marriage of football and fitness. I think we’ve started a tradition that you will see every fall here at Ohio Stadium.”

GiNa DaVis / BuckeyeTV reporter Participants of the first OsU 4-Miler race cross run the course Nov. 10. some proceeds from the event went toward the Urban and shelley Meyer Fund of Cancer research.

Former OSU football and basketball players also participated in the Four-Miler race, including former OSU basketball players J.J. Sullinger and Scoonie Penn and former OSU football players Bobby Carpenter, Dimitrious Stanley and Matt Finkes.

Finkes, a defensive lineman for OSU from 1993-96, said he enjoyed seeing people’s reactions as they finished the race.

“I was kind of standing there when people rounded the corner and headed towards the 50

USG launches texting service to advertise events Next time Undergraduate Student Government has a special meeting, some Ohio State students will likely receive a text about it.

In an effort to better its communication with the student body, USG is offering a new texting service, funded through OSU’s agreement with Coca-Cola, that allows students to sign up to receive text message updates about campus and USG events such as certain USG meetings or sponsored events.

To sign up for the service, students simply have to text “USGOSU” to 313131. USG Vice President Josh Ahart, a fourth-year in public affairs, said about two texts will be sent per week, and if students have questions about a message, they can reply to the message with a question that certain USG representatives — USG President Taylor Stepp, Ahart and Chief of Staff Shane Ingalls — can respond to within a day.

The goal of the service, Ahart said, is to encourage people to come to USG events and to elicit feedback from students.

Costs associated with the service are low and aren’t being paid for by students, Ahart said.

“We got a really good deal. It cost us around $400 for the service, just over that, and that covers the whole academic year. It’s paid for by the CocaCola fund, not by students,” he said.

Ahart said USG has several plans in place to advertise the service.

“We’ve put it out in our (email) newsletter, we’re going to start advertising on Twitter (by tweeting from the USG account, @USGOSU), and we’re going to rely on word of mouth as well to get out the word,” Ahart said. “We also want to go advertise at residence halls. It’ll take time, but I really hope it does catch on with students.”

The texting service has some obstacles to overcome in the meantime. Though about 125 students are signed up so far, some students haven’t heard about the program since its Oct. 28 start date.

Some students, like Bryce Mikol, a third-year in

Veterans Day about reflecting on service The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marked the end of the Great War, a day that came to be known as Armistice Day. As the Great War was later renamed aarON YEriaN World War I, so Petty officer first class Armistice Day U.S. Navy 1999 - 2012 was renamed yerian.21@osu.edu Veterans Day – a day set aside every year to remember those who served in times of peace or war.

A day reserved for parades, colors, salutes and dedications.

But that day has even more meanings as it has names.

For those who have never served or for those who have friends or relatives who have, it is a day to say, “Thank you for your service.” A solemn reminder to acknowledge the selfless sacrifices that accompany the noble deed of serving a greater purpose.

I am still not sure how to respond to that reverence. Is it pretentious to respond with “you’re welcome,” or is it acceptable to reply back with a “thank you?”

For the veterans who have a closet full of old uniforms, a shoebox filled with mementos from what seems like a lifetime ago or a shadowbox meticulously adorned with ribbons, medals and insignias, it is a day to remember those who are still with us and those who are not.

It is a day to look back at the endured hardships with a teary-eyed smile while sharing a cold brew with others who have also walked the line.

This year, I found myself in a classroom at Hayes Intermediate School in Grove City, Ohio, on Veterans Day. I was seated next to my 10-year-old nephew, surrounded by his classmates and joined by 10 other veterans from every generation – World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf and the war on terror.

(yard line), and I just saw their faces light up,” Finkes said. “It’s a special field and it’s a special place, and I think giving the fans a chance to experience it is something you don’t get every day or get at a lot of other schools.”

Finkes said he likes coming back to OSU to support cancer research.

“Anything you can do, I think, as a former player to help out and to give back is important,” Finkes said. “Obviously Urban and Shelley (Meyer)

feel very passionate about cancer research and James (Cancer Hospital) is one of a kind. We are so blessed to have that here. It is important to keep awareness of the dollars that are necessary to fight cancer.”

Some OSU students participated in the race alongside the athletes.

Courtney Scherer, a fifth-year in mechanical engineering, said she participated in the race to spend time with her friends.

“It was really exciting, kind of like a social experience to run with a bunch of friends,” Scherer said.

Jenny Ledermeier, a first-year graduate student in education, said having fellow Buckeye fans running beside her helped her keep going.

“Like with any race, it’s high energy, especially at the beginning,” Ledermeier said. “Everyone is cheering you on, but in the middle of the race you’re like, ‘Oh, it’s getting a little long,’ but everyone around you is pushing you further and further, and at the end it’s so exciting to hear the big speakers and there are all these Buckeye fans hanging out. It’s a good time.”

Scherer is set to graduate in the spring, so she said seeing herself on the big screen as she came through the finish line was a good feeling.

“It’s really exciting because I haven’t seen myself on that screen since Convocation freshman year, and I get to see myself at the end of the year for graduation,” Scherer said. “It was a cool thing as a Buckeye to see yourself up there.”

The event was held with help from the OSU Department of Athletics, M3S Sports, the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer, Columbus Worthington Air and IMG College. Other sponsors included 10TV, Kroger

material sciences engineering, said the service isn’t attractive.

“It’s useful because it gets the word out to more people, but I personally probably won’t use it. USG updates just aren’t as important for me,” Mikol said.

Others said they don’t know if the service will be widely used.

“It can be useful, but I don’t know if people will actually use it,” said Dean Ware, a second-year in molecular genetics. “I probably won’t.”

Ahart said while interest in USG’s happenings has already risen, the texting service could increase involvement even more.

“We revamped our weekly newsletter, and we’ve gone from 200 people on the listserv to 1,200, but that’s still not enough,” Ahart said. “This (texting service) is a more direct way to communicate, because people are always checking their phone, which they don’t always do with their email.”

From Pearl Harbor to 9/11.

One was wearing his old dress uniform. Another was wearing a crisp blue suit and an American flag necktie. Eight of us, including myself, were wearing everyday clothes, and the final man was wearing his current working uniform.

It was in that room that I realized what I had really already known when a student’s grandfather slowly stood up with misty eyes and spoke in a hushed voice – it’s not about the parades or the pomp and circumstance. It’s not about the sibling rivalries of who had it rougher or the nobility of answering the call.

It’s about the people.

The hallmark of great leadership is a notion that was immortalized in the 2001 HBO special Band of Brothers when the German general addressed his men one final time before surrendering to Allied forces. The general said, “You’re a special group.

You’ve found in one another a bond, that exists only in combat, among brothers. You’ve shared foxholes, held each other in dire moments. You’ve seen death and suffered together. I’m proud to have served with each and every one of you. You deserve long and happy lives in peace.”

BoT announces Wexner’s return, reduces Medical Center Board to ‘consultative role’ CaMErON rODa Lantern reporter roda.7@osu.edu Alongside Les Wexner’s return to Ohio State to chair the Wexner Medical Center Board of Trustees, the OSU Board of Trustees voted to reduce the powers previously granted to the Medical Center Board.

At its last meeting of 2013 Friday, the OSU Board unanimously supported the removal of the unilateral powers of the Medical Board after a recommendation from the Medical Center Board. It will now serve a consultative role to the OSU Board.

The Wexner Medical Center Board is comprised of up to 15 voting members, with up to five seats given to current university trustees and six seats to “public members” appointed by the Board chair in consultation with the OSU president and Board Governance committee chair. The remaining four seats are given to the OSU president, the chair of the OSU Board, the OSU chief financial officer and the senior vice president for health sciences, according to the Board of Trustees agenda.

“The updated bylaws in particular reinforce this (university) Board of Trustees as sovereign authority and fiduciary responsibility for the Medical Center,” said trustee Alex Shumate at the meeting.

The OSU Board also voiced its support for proposed Ohio House Bill 111, which would give OSU’s two student trustees voting privileges, and approved the Presidential Search Committee advisory subcommittee presidential profile, an eight-page guide meant to help potential candidates understand OSU’s important values and the

Trustee and Presidential Search Committee Chairman Jeffrey Wadsworth said while the Board knows approximately how long a public presidential search typically lasts, that doesn’t mean OSU’s will take that long.

“We did some analysis on how long it takes to find a president in an open, public search. The data tells us it’s about 300 days. We’re about 120 days in,” Wadsworth said. “That doesn’t mean we’re going to be looking for another 180, but if we find somebody in a couple of months, they may still not be able to start until the start of the academic year.”

One of the major approvals granted by the Board at its meeting was the establishment of the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute as a university affiliate. The U.S. Navy plans to grant $70 million over a five year period to one team nationally to work on educating the work force in the future of lightweight materials, according to the Board’s agenda.

The ALMMII is one of three teams nationally which have submitted a full proposal to the U.S. Navy. If selected, the collaboration between OSU, University of Michigan and the Edison Welding Institute will work to “advance the design, validation

and application of such materials to quick reaction projects.”

The ALMMII team includes 45 firms in the lightweight materials industry, including companies like General Electric, Alcoa and Boeing. Other Big Ten Conference members Penn State and Purdue are two of the 17 non-industry members, according to the Board agenda.

If selected, the ALMMII will be required to match the Navy’s $70 million grant.

Trustee Algenon Marbley said some of the funds needed to match the Navy’s grant have already been donated.

“The state of Ohio has committed $10 million in support of ALMMII, primarily for workforce development,” Marbley said.

The OSU College of Engineering committed an additional $5 million in contributions, Marbley said.

Marbley said the U.S. Navy is scheduled to make the decision of who will be awarded the contract within the next few months.

“We will have a decision as to whether we are awarded the contract within the next four months or so. We are competing with a group out of South Carolina as well,” Marbley said.

Since July 1, the university has raised more than $68 million, almost one-fifth of its $390 million goal for fiscal year 2014, according to the Board agenda.

That $68 million raised is about six percent higher than the amount of funds raised during the same period in 2012, going toward things including scholarships, research and facilities.

Houses near OSU’s campus. The Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program was recently established by the Office of Student Life as a response to requests for increased collaboration between landlords and the university.

Housing from 1A from Columbus Fire visiting all units of said landlord or company. During the visits, Sanchez plans to use a checklist “developed in collaboration with the Office of Student Life, parents, students and landlords and the Columbus Fire Department” to assess the properties.

Information gathered during the home visits will eventually be posted on Student Life’s Neighborhood Services and Collaboration website to provide current and future students the information to “make informed decisions about future housing needs,” Sanchez said.

Registration forms for landlords to sign up to participate in the home visits were made available last week, Sanchez said in an email, and he expects owners and property managers to return those soon, allowing him to begin scheduling home visits. Residents will be alerted when the visits are set to happen, and can reschedule for times they will be home, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. weekdays, Sanchez said.

In a statement from Student Life Vice President Javaune Adams-Gaston emailed to The Lantern, Adams-Gaston said the Off-Campus Housing Excellence Program reflects the mission of the Office of Student Life.

“We are committed to advancing a thriving campus community, and this program will benefit both students and landlords through greater collaboration,” Adams-Gaston said. “It is important that our students live in a safe, secure environment that best contributes to their academic success at Ohio State.”

Some students’ concerns about off-campus living were elevated after a house of 15 people in OSU’s off-campus area discovered Aug. 30 there had been a man secretly living in their basement.

The residents, who live on 13th Avenue and are OSU students, thought a locked door in the basement led to a utility closet. When one of the house’s residents opened the door, they found a bedroom complete with framed photographs and textbooks. Since then, the locks were changed by the leasing company,

Transfer from 1A fall, he pledged Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity after his roommate recommended he join Greek Life as a way to get involved on campus, he said.

Although he said he’s on track to graduate on time, Mercurio lost about half of his credits from Miami, something he said has added some extra weight to his course load.

“Right now I have 17 hours (scheduled) in order to graduate next semester, so it’s been more of a work load than I want my second semester of senior year,” he said.

Mercurio said one of OSU’s weakest points during the transfer process was orientation.

“I literally came in here and sat in a classroom with six other kids, talked to some adviser, and I sat there for an hour and I scheduled classes,” he said.

“I left, and I was like, ‘I have zero idea of what I’m getting myself into.’”

Although Shane Gontarz, a fourth-year in marketing, said his academic transition was “pretty smooth,” living in the off-campus community made his social transition a little more difficult.

Wexner from 2A Comprehensive Cancer Center has raised the most money so far for the university, bringing in almost $18 million since July 1, while the Wexner Medical Center and the College of Engineering have brought in more than $7 million each, according to the Board agenda.

Derek Vickers, a fourth-year in chemical engineering, said he has had a generally positive experience renting in the off-campus area, as any maintenance requests he’s had to make for his “really old, over 100-year-old” house have been remedied by his landlord.

He noted, however, that when he originally began his off-campus housing search, he did not think there was adequate rental information available to him, which he said would have been helpful to him considering how old his house is.

“I’m sure the fire code is probably all right, but I don’t think our electricity (is),” Vickers said. “We have four bedrooms, and three of them and the kitchen are on the same circuit. So I had a lamp that was in my room and something was wrong with it and it was tripping the circuit, so my whole upstairs (electricity) would go out.”

Not all students were keen on the idea of having university intervention on rental information though.

Cory Sharkey, a second-year in exploration who lives off-campus, said students should be responsible for gathering their own information when looking for a place to live.

“The school getting involved isn’t really necessary,” he said. “The students should look into it before (signing a lease).”

Stepp said education is the key to the Off-Campus Housing Excellence program’s success.

“It’s about education, this is about ensuring that … we’re allowing our students to have the highest level of education possible, and that we are allowing our students to know that these (properties) are up to code and meeting a variety of requirements,” he said. “It’s a great step in the right direction. I think that this is going to go really far in helping students ensure they have reliable, safe housing in the future.”

Sanchez agreed. “(It’s) just like the Student Life mission: we want to create the extraordinary student experience,” he said. “We like to say that we are a central resource for students that have off-campus housing living questions so instead of being here at the (Ohio) Union we want to take that service right there into

Gontarz transferred after his second year at Ohio University and quickly got involved with TSAB, he said.

“It just kind of gives back,” Gontarz said. “Now I’ve met people, and it’s easier (being a student at OSU).”

Helen Bulford, a third-year in athletic training and a transfer student from the University of Rochester, said TSAB helped her feel more at home on-campus.

“I didn’t know it existed (when I arrived at OSU), and I hadn’t even thought about something like that,” Bulford said. “That made the transfer process better, because it felt like the university was making an effort to help transfer students.”

Bulford left Rochester halfway through her second year and took an additional year and a half off from school before coming to OSU. Bulford said the diversity among transfer students makes it hard to accommodate everyone.

“Transfer students all have different needs, and they’re all looking for different things,” Bulford said.

“It’s a very unique situation.”

The Board also accepted an approximately 387 acre property located in Pickaway County that was given to the university as a gift. With the property valued at $2.6 million, the university plans to sell the land immediately to fund an endowed scholarship for Pickaway County, to support construction for the College of Food, Agricultural and

Newport Music Hall is set to welcome back a familiar artist who plans to bring a new album, sense of humor and an affinity for selfies to the stage.

Singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson is scheduled to perform at the Newport Wednesday, with doors opening at 7 p.m., and he said the audience can expect to get more out of the show than just his music.

Nathanson said he likes to do things to include the audience in his shows and create a fun experience. He also takes a picture of himself on stage with the audience in the background at the end of every show, which he posts to his Instagram account.

“I shoot these terrible selfies of like half my face or just my sweaty hair,” Nathanson said.

In another instance of having fun with his audience, Nathanson celebrated Halloween at a recent performance in New York by dressing up as a member of Poison and covering the band’s song, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” as the audience sang along.

Some students have heard about Nathanson’s light-hearted nature and expect great entertainment from the show.

“When I have heard live versions of Matt Nathanson’s songs, he often tells jokes,” said Tatiana DeGraffenreid, a second-year in psychology. “I anticipate a lot of jokes and fun covers.”

matt Nathanson is slated to perform at the Newport music Hall Nov. 13.

State’s campus. The artist said he has played in the city a few times and has developed some favorite spots along the way, including the Wexner Center for the Arts and Johnny Go’s House O’ Music.

Nathanson said he and his band like to get to know the cities they play in.

“We look like a little d-----b-- gang,” Nathanson said. “We have these folding bikes we get out and explore on.”

He said he has played many shows at the Newport, including one concert with O.A.R. In this particular performance, Nathanson is set to be accompanied by another singer-songwriter, Joshua Radin. Nathanson said the pairing came about relatively organically.

“Joshua Radin was sort of on the periphery and he happened to be open, so we did it,” Nathanson said.

The concert is part of Nathanson’s tour promoting his latest album, “Last of the Great Pretenders,” which was released in July.

“Everyone seems to be digging it,” Nathanson said. “It’s the most fun to see when the audience sings a brand new song back to you so passionately.”

Alex Szablewski, a third-year in sport industry management said he has been a fan of both musicians for years and is excited to hear them play.

“It was actually on Spotify that I found out they were coming to Columbus,” Szablewski said. “I started asking around to see if anyone would want to go, and then I heard D-Tix was selling tickets, too, so that’s when I really decided I was going.”

Discounted tickets went on sale through D-Tix Nov 5. for $10. Tickets are still available through D-Tix, as well as through Ticketmaster for $22 and $25 the day of the show.

Being in a service organization at Ohio State might be a bit more glamorous than some would think.

GlamourGals is an organization of OSU students that cater to elderly women by engaging them in conversation and adding a touch of pizzazz to their physical appearance.

The members of the club go to nursing homes around central Ohio and give elderly women makeovers as well as provide company and companionship.

Kirsten Mullins, a fourth-year in finance, is the president and founder of the OSU chapter of GlamourGals, which she said is the first college chapter in Ohio. She was involved in the organization at the high school level when attending Olentangy Liberty High School and wanted to bring it to OSU. “I thought it would be a good thing to bring to Ohio State because I looked at the student organizations and there is really nothing like it that caters to the elderly generation specifically,” Mullins said.

“Just being able to make them smile and make them feel special and beautiful is truly rewarding,” said Alexa Lynch, a second-year in marketing and fashion and retail studies.

Audrey Bledsoe, who works in undergraduate career services and education, serves as the adviser to GlamourGals. She said the students’ work in the organization is extremely important to the women they visit.

“Ultimately, these girls are doing small acts of kindness by pampering and socializing with these nursing home ladies. But these acts of kindness can make such an enormous difference in the happiness and well-being of the seniors,” Bledsoe said.

The OSU chapter travels to Wexner Heritage Village in Columbus twice a month to do the women’s nails and give makeovers, and provide manicures to some of the gentlemen as well.

The OSU chapter currently has 25 members, far exceeding the minimum 10 members needed to maintain a chapter. Membership in the OSU chapter has increased by 66 percent from last academic year to this academic year, Mullins said.

All 25 current members are women, but men are welcome to join, Mullins said.

Each chapter is required to pay a $100 registration fee annually to remain active and these funds come from the $10 dues each member pays to join the club, Mullins said.

Members of the club also participate in monthly social events. The club held a cookout at the beginning of the year to allow the new members to meet some of the older members and learn more about the club.

GlamourGals also does a fundraiser once a year and the proceeds go back to GlamourGals Nationals in New York City. Last year’s fundraiser was GlamourGals Night Out at Midway on High Street. The club raised more than

OSU’s chapter of GlamourGals is an organization that provides beauty makeovers and companionship to elderly women. $500 and the proceeds were sent back to nationals and used for various programs, events, scholarship funds and operating costs, Mullins said.

The club does not have any set meetings each week and the members see that as a positive aspect to the membership. Most events and trips are organized online because the members are all busy and meetings can be time consuming.

“We pride ourselves on being a low commitment organization. We know people do not have a lot of time to come to meetings and we don’t want to turn anyone away,” Mullins said.

Lily Clarkson, a third-year in public affairs and the social chair for GlamourGals, said she believes in what GlamourGals, founded in 2000, stands for — replenishing dignity in aging women, according to GlamourGals’ website.

“I would hope that if one day, myself or my loved ones were to be placed into a nursing home, there would be groups of great women like GlamourGals there to help make the experience more enjoyable,” Clarkson said.

Warm up your wardrobe with winter weather essentials: knit items, scarves, hats, parkas BReaNNa SOROKa Senior Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu No matter what your style usually consists of — glam, grunge, or the like — there are several winter fashion pieces that can fit in the giant jigsaw puzzle of your wardrobe. They can be added all at once or piece by piece, so read on to find out how to warm up your closet in the coming months.

Knit socks Keeping your feet warm when the temperature drops is the first step you can take in protecting yourself from winter’s chill. While thick knit socks tucked deep into your boots can definitely provide some coziness when traversing campus, adding taller socks that peek out from the tops of your boots can insulate you even better. Socks in neutral colors like black, gray and beige can easily be added to every outfit you own.

Scarves Wrapping your neck with a scarf can add degrees of heat to the unprotected skin above your coat. Are you a fan of a more classic style?

Entwine a black silk scarf around your neck to keep your outfit just as fancy as you. If you are more of a casual being, a thick scarf knit with yarn can be added to leggings, sweatpants, or denim and look just as good with any of these.

This is the easiest way to warm up any outfit you have, so if you’re pressed for time, make this the one addition you make.

Parkas There’s nothing more comfortable than a down-filled coat worn over a cozy sweater, and that’s exactly why a parka is absolutely necessary for winter. The colder weather requires many layers of clothing, and a coat that actually fits on top of all of them is the cherry on top of the perfect cold-weather outfit. There are plenty

of styles of this kind of coat so there’s nothing keeping you from purchasing one — and though they are slightly more expensive than the average jacket (my recently purchased parka was $100), they are well-worth the investment.

Top it off Unless you have long, thick mermaid hair, your ears are likely freezing every time you step outside. This can easily be remedied with the addition of a hat, and there are so many styles that you’re sure to find one you fall in love with.

Beanies are perfect for the grungy outfit, while fedoras easily complement a business-casual getup. If you aren’t wanting to mess up your perfectly-styled hair, feel free to switch a hat with earmuffs so you don’t sacrifice any of the warmth.

The OSU Marching Band performs Nov. 10 at the Franklin County Veterans Memorial auditorium.

Marching Band performs songs of Buckeye pride, viral hits Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu The audience claps to the beat, a surge of Buckeye pride filling the Franklin County Veterans Memorial auditorium as “Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse,” composed by Robert Planquette, begins to play.

In any normal symphonic concert setting, this type of behavior would be ludicrous.

However, the audience became part of the performance like they would during an Ohio State football game as the Ohio State University Marching Band performed Sunday as part of its concert week.

During the song, which is the theme for Script Ohio, the band retained a tradition more often seen on the field. A sousaphone player marched behind a drum major from stage right, dotting his own “i” in front of his fellow musicians.

As the song ended, the band members pulled off their hats so the audience could see that the front row of hats spelled out “GO BUCKS M*CHIGAN SUX” in white tape.

Opting for a space smaller than Ohio Stadium with about 4 percent of the stadium’s seating capacity, the band played a variety of songs from

different genres, spanning from OSU-themed music to pop culture hits.

Included in the concert’s program were the shows that have been turned into viral hits on YouTube, such as the band’s Michael Jackson tribute performance, which received more than 8.7 million views on OSUBuckeyeTV’s channel as of Monday, and its “Hollywood Blockbusters” performance, which received more than 12.7 million views osumbvideo’s channel as of Monday.

In addition to the 43 selected songs for the program, the concert featured different instrument sections from the band, such as the Trumpet Cheers, Trombone Cheers, Baritone Cheers, Stadium Brass, TubaFour and Percussion Cheers, which included the theme from Doctor Who, the Can-Can and the chicken dance, accompanied by dancing members of the band.

“So many talents,” Jon Waters, the director of OSU Marching and Athletic bands, said as he and the audience laughed in response to the band’s chicken dance performance. “You should be proud.”

Carole Holland from Pickerington said one of her favorite parts of the performance was hearing the different sections, as well as the band’s performance of the “1812 Overture,” composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

“It was unbelievable,” Holland said of the performance. “It’s one of my favorite songs.”

Holland said she and her husband, Bernard Holland, who is an OSU alumnus, attended the performance because it’s nice to hear the band play.

“We used to go to the games,” Bernard Holland said. “But it’s nice to have the opportunity to come here and hear them play.”

The band also performed with the OSU Gospel Voices for “Man in the Mirror” by Jackson, while the “Organ Symphony (Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op.78),” composed by Camille Saint-Saëns, and “Pines of the Appian Way,” composed by Ottorino Respighi were played accompanied by the Brass Band of Columbus, a brass and percussion-only band whose members include active or retired music educators and other professionals.

Toward the end of the performance, Waters acknowledged the many members who aid in the band’s accomplishments, including staff, students and the arrangers of the music.

Waters said the band survives by the voices of the arrangers.

“Don’t tell this to Michigan,” Waters said as the audience laughed in response.

Waters said it is not himself, but the members who make the band prolific.

“You see the pride in their eyes,” Waters said. “You see how they carry themselves. You see it in their academics, and you see it on the field. They are where the rubber meets the road.”

Spencer: ‘I think we’d wipe the field’ with top teams daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu The Ohio State football team (9-0, 5-0) is showing confidence moving forward, after moving up to No. 3 in the BCS Standings following then-No. 3 Oregon’s loss to then-No.5 Stanford.

As of right now, the two teams ahead of the Buckeyes, No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Florida State, seem to have an insurmountable lead over OSU in the BCS standings. The Buckeyes currently sit .069 points behind the Seminoles in the latest rankings, while the Crimson Tide lead overall by .034 points.

Despite the disparity, junior wide receiver Evan Spencer said OSU could take down the other top teams.

“I guess I’m a little bit biased, but I think we’d wipe the field with both of them,” Spencer said after practice Monday.

Social media exploded following Spencer’s comment, with discussions about who exactly the wide receiver was referring to. Spencer took to Twitter himself Monday evening with a pair of tweets to offer an explanation.

“I did not meant to disrespect any FB team today. I am confident in my team, and as is evident in the video (of the interview), I was have fun…” Spencer’s first tweet read. “… With the media answering their questions. I should have chosen my words more wisely. There was no intent to disrespect any other team,” he finished.

An OSU spokesman followed Spencer’s tweets with his two minutes later, echoing what he said.

“Just spoke to Evan Spencer. He said he was having fun with the media today and he did not intend to disrespect any other team,” the tweet read.

Later, he added that the Buckeyes just need to carry out their game plan and they will be able to beat anyone that comes their way.

“We’ve just got to go out and execute,” Spencer said. “If we go out and execute for a full game, there’s nobody in the country that can hang with us when we’re executing the way that we can.”

Redshirt-senior safety Corey “Pitt” Brown echoed Spencer’s sentiments.

“I think we could play anybody if we have the right game plan and everybody comes to work and play hard like I know we can.” Brown said.

Coach Urban Meyer said his coaches poll ballot has not changed as the season has progressed in terms of the top two, with Alabama sitting at No. 1 and OSU at No. 2.

“I believe we have Alabama, Ohio State, Florida

Junior wide receiver Evan Spencer (6) attempts to catch the ball in the end zone during a game against Iowa Oct. 19 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 34-24.

State … I had us (at No. 2) all year, I just think we’re playing like one of the top teams in the country right now,” Meyer said.

Meyer said he had the opportunity during the bye week to watch the other top ranked teams play.

“There’s some very good teams out there. I really enjoyed watching the (Oregon against Stanford) game.

Two very good games. I saw Alabama and LSU. Excellent teams … A lot of respect for those teams,” Meyer said.

Meyer added to keep up with the teams ranked around them, the Buckeyes need to play at a high level for the remainder of the year.

“The message is you have to play great. We do. I mean, you’re held to be even mentioned with those other teams, be careful what you wish for,” Meyer said.

“That means you have to practice and play at a certain level.”

Redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort said he isn’t thinking about a potential matchup with a team like Alabama, but said if it comes to it, the Buckeyes will be ready.

“I don’t want to talk about that. Right now, we’re just focused on beating Illinois and if we ever come to that hurdle, we’ll come to that then but they’re a great

football team, No. 1 in the nation so they’re doing something right,” Mewhort said. “If we ever get that shot, I think we’ll be ready for it.”

Mewhort added that the focus needs to be what is on the schedule ahead of them, and not about where they are in the BCS. “In the locker room, I think there is some discussion but as far as the team goes, we try not to get ahead of ourselves. We know we have to win every game in front of us,” Mewhort said. “When the time comes, I think we’ll talk about that but right now, I think we’re just focused on winning our division and winning the Big Ten so if we handle our business, we’ll be all right.”

In the last two games, OSU has racked up the style points, outscoring Penn State and Illinois by a combined 119-14.

Brown said putting up big margins of victory isn’t a goal every week for OSU, but the team comes out and tries to play its best no matter the circumstances.

“We come out every week trying to play at the highest level we can possible so its not too much of a big difference,” Brown said.

OSU is scheduled to continue its quest for an undefeated season Saturday at noon when it travels to Champaign, Ill., to take on Illinois (3-6, 0-5).

Scott leads Buckeyes to victory in first career start Tim Moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu

Shelby Lum / Photo editor

Junior guard Shannon Scott (3) attempts a free throw during a game against Morgan State Nov. 9 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 89-50.

Shannon Scott had never started a game in his Ohio State career.

The junior guard had never scored more than 15 points, taken more than three 3-pointers or made more than two in a single contest.

In the No. 10 Buckeyes’ season-opening 89-50 victory against Morgan State, all of that changed. Scott, who only made 11 3-pointers throughout the 2012-13 campaign, nailed three long balls in the first 2:03 of play against the Bears.

In his first career start, Scott finished second in the game with a career-high 16 points, sparked largely by his four 3-pointers. He was 4-7 from beyond the arc on the day.

Fellow junior, forward LaQuinton Ross, also made his first start for the Scarlet and Gray.

Scott said whether starting or coming off the bench, he just tries to stay on his game.

“We don’t think about starting or not starting,” he said. “When we get in the game, we just try and make the most of it.”

Scott and senior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. teamed up for eight of OSU’s 11 3-pointers in the game. Smith Jr. said the long balls were a product of Morgan State’s defense more than a set game plan.

“We come out here and every game is going to be different. You’ve just got to take what the defense gives you,” he said. “I think our spacing was really good today and our team was able to find open guys.”

OSU coach Thad Matta said Scott’s success from long range is the product of hard work during the offseason and something that will likely continue.

“Improving shooting was a point of emphasis for him,” Matta said. “We talked about it all offseason, I told him he has to be able to knock down those shots.

“We grab him every night after practice and make him get 100 threes up,” Matta added. “With the luxury of eight buckets, we usually have other guys doing it, but his is specific. ‘You’re going to shoot 100 threes.’”

Matta mentioned a day during the offseason when Scott told him he took 400 shots in the gym, something that was new to the player.

“He told me, ‘I’ve never done that before,’ and I said, ‘Maybe there’s a reason you haven’t shot the ball particularly well,’” Matta recalled with a smile.

As a team, the Buckeyes were 11-25 from beyond the arc. Junior forward Sam Thompson was 2-for-3 and Ross hit 1 of 5. Sophomore guard Amedeo Della Valle missed on his only long-range attempt.

“We have players that can knock down open shots at any time,” Ross said. “We struggled with that at times last season, but now everyone has been in the gym during the summer and preseason and it’s become a strength.”

While his shooting stood out, Scott filled up the rest

of the box score. The junior finished with seven assists, four rebounds and a steal in 26 minutes on the floor, while turning the ball over three times.

Aaron Craft received the preseason recognition for the Buckeyes, being named to the All-Big Ten team by CBSSports.com, but Scott outplayed the senior guard throughout the game. Craft finished with six assists, six rebounds and five points.

Regardless of Craft’s scoring or his personal success, Scott said he recognized his team’s plethora of weapons on offense.

“It really makes it hard for our team to be guarded,” he said. “Teams really can’t focus on one player.”

Matta recognized the depth as well, and said it will be a must for his team going forward.

“That’s the balance that this team’s going to have to have in terms of how we want to play and how we think we should play,” he said. “The rotations, I thought guys came and really gave us a good boost and that’s something that’s going to be big for this team.”

Along with Scott’s handful of personal bests, Ross grabbed 11 rebounds, a career-high. Five Buckeyes scored in double figures to help top Morgan State: Behind Smith Jr.’s 18 and Scott’s 16, Ross and Thompson had 14 each and freshman forward Marc Loving chipped in with 10 points in his OSU debut.

Next up, the Buckeyes are scheduled to host Ohio University Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Confidence level ‘renewed’ for women’s volleyball after 2 wins Tim moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu It’s been a season of streaks for the Ohio State women’s volleyball team: the Buckeyes won 13 straight to kick off the season, then lost eight in a row. Now OSU has won two straight and is hoping to build on its current streak.

OSU got back to its winning ways Friday in impressive fashion.

The Buckeyes swept Indiana at St. John Arena, marking their first three-set victory of Big Ten play. The next night, OSU notched another victory, topping No. 14 Purdue, 3-1.

“Our confidence level has been renewed and supported, but I’m not going to sit here and say it’s high,” sophomore outside hitter Katie Mitchell said after beating the Boilermakers Saturday. “We know we still have a lot to work on.”

Regardless of work left to do, freshman middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe said the pair of wins can be a difference-maker for her team going forward.

“It feels like we’re right where we want to be honestly,” she said.

“I think that this is going to be the turning point for us — this is just a lot of motivation for us going forward.”

Mitchell, who sparked the Buckeyes with 10 kills off the bench against Purdue, said her team was ready from the outset.

“Firing from all cylinders, ready to go,” she said. “Everyone’s on top, not only the front row, but the back row — everyone’s working together.”

Coach Geoff Carlston praised Mitchell’s play: “It was huge, it was absolutely huge.”

Mitchell’s career high in kills was good for fourth on the team, as senior outside hitter Kaitlyn Leary led the Buckeyes with 18 kills while Sandbothe and freshman outside hitter Kylie Randall each added 12.

Junior setter Taylor Sherwin tallied 48 assists and a service ace against the Boilermakers, despite dealing with an illness the night before against Indiana. Against the Hoosiers, she recorded 30 assists and a service ace.

“Taylor Sherwin is sick as a dog, we didn’t even think she was going to play today,” Carlston said after the sweep of the Hoosiers.

“If we would’ve played another set, I don’t think she could’ve played.”

In the streak-breaking victory against Indiana, Leary tallied 19 kills while Sandbothe chipped in with 14. “(Sandbothe) played really aggressive tonight,” Carlston said.

“She’s got a toughness and a swag about her, and I thought she played excellent and showed that.”

That aggressiveness paid off as the freshman picked up a kill to close out the sweep for her team’s first win in more than a month.

“It’s huge to get that last kill, and it just feels so good and it feels so right for us right now,” Sandbothe said.

Leary said the wins were about the team, and not about any individual’s success.

“It was just a great team win,” she said. “Our passes were on and our defense was on. (Sherwin) did a great job of finding all of us hitters.”

With the sweet taste of victory in their mouths, the Buckeyes will have some time to rest before their next match. OSU is scheduled to travel to Minneapolis, Minn., for a match against No. 11 Minnesota, Friday, before traveling to Madison, Wis., for a faceoff with No. 14 Wisconsin Sunday.

sports Buckeyes set to tackle Bobcats for first time since 1994 eric seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu An in-state rivalry that’s been dormant since 1994 is set to be reignited on the basketball court at the Schottenstein Center, hitting home with a Buckeye point guard and assistant coach.

The Ohio State men’s basketball team (1-0, 0-0) is scheduled to take on the Ohio Bobcats (1-0, 0-0) Tuesday, the first time since the 1994 preseason National Invitational Tournament, which was taken by the Bobcats, 78-67.

That game was played at St. John Arena, and saw current Buckeye assistant coach Jeff Boals pour in 14 points and collect eight rebounds for OU. “The thing I remember the most (from the win) is getting yelled at at halftime,” Boals said Monday.

“Like every other team, (OSU) triple teamed (former Bobcat) Gary Trent, so I had wide open jump shots … I was wide open at the top of the key and Coach (Larry) Hunter said ‘If you’re not going to shoot the ball, we’re going to sit you down.’ So I started shooting every time I got the ball and scored 12 points in the second half.”

Boals is entering his fifth season as an OSU assistant, and although he said the matchup with alma mater is “just another game” to him, it’s hard to hide that the game will be a big one.

“What I’ve come to realize in my four years, starting my fifth year, every game’s a big game against

Ohio State,” Boals said. “When I came here, I was an Ohio kid. Like everyone in Ohio, I wanted to come here, (but) I wasn’t good enough to play at Ohio State.

I think you just try to tell your guys, ‘this is a huge game …’ I think our guys understand that.”

The Bobcats have three players who went to high school in Central Ohio — senior guard Nick Kellogg (St. Francis De Sales), redshirt-senior forward Jon

Smith (Grove City) and junior guard Stevie Taylor (Gahanna Lincoln) — as well as five seniors.

“They’ve got a very senior/junior dominant, lot of redshirts, guys that have been in the program for a long time,” said OSU coach Thad Matta Monday.

“Guys that have won a lot of basketball games. I think that’s exciting for us in terms of what we’re going to be going up against.”

Those Central Ohio ties coupled with the fact that the game is against an in-state opponent might bring OU supporters to the Schottenstein Center Tuesday, but Matta hopes the OSU faithful will come out strongly like they did Saturday for the team’s win against Morgan State.

“I think Saturday, from our student section to our fans, what an incredible environment we had in here for Morgan State,” Matta said. “I’m sure there will be some green in here, but the scarlet and gray will outweigh that, I hope.”

OSU senior guard Aaron Craft said he’s had experience playing with Kellogg and other OU players during AAU basketball in high school and open gyms over the summer in Columbus when they’re back home.

“We’ve played a couple open gyms when they’re back, in the summer when we’re here,” Craft said Monday. “Obviously, the better games you can play in open gyms (are) the best. They came back a couple times this summer and we got to play a little bit.”

Craft added the Bobcats are “competitive and they want to win just as much as we do,” which Boals echoed.

“Coming into the Schottenstein Center for them tomorrow, (OU’s) played in the big games,” Boals said. “They’ve won NCAA Tournament games.

Obviously, with the three kids from Central Ohio coming back, it’ll be even more to it.”

Tip off between the Buckeyes and Bobcats is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Women’s basketball tops Florida Atlantic, 91-88, in home opener Eran Hami Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu After an 11-0 run to start the game, the Ohio State women’s basketball team never looked back.

OSU (2-0, 0-0) captured its first home victory of the season, beating Florida Atlantic, 91-88 Sunday.

Sophomore guards Cait Craft and Ameryst Alston led the Buckeyes in scoring with 29 and 28 points, respectively. Craft’s 29 points marked a career high.

Compared to last year when she only scored 33 points all season, Craft attributes her success to finally getting the chance to play.

“Last year, I wasn’t healthy for the majority of the year,” Craft said in a press conference after the game. “I sat out with a concussion for two weeks, played for a little bit, then had a back injury for the last few months of the season. So this year, I’m 100 percent healthy and haven’t had any problems yet.”

Craft joked about how she was a better shooter than her brother, guard for OSU’s men’s basketball team, senior Aaron Craft.

“Aaron claimed that he beat me in the last game of ‘PIG,’ which is correct, but he does not always beat me, he lies,” Craft said. “My win-to-loss ratio in shooting games with Aaron is way higher than his.”

On Sunday, the largest lead the Buckeyes held was 23 points in the first half. FAU was able to battle through the game and cut that lead to one point, twice in the final two minutes. Senior center Darryce Moore was able to convert a 3-point play after being fouled on a layup with less than a minute to go. FAU hit a three with 35 seconds left to bring the different back to one. But Alston hit two free throws and to lock up an OSU victory. FAU’s desperation shot at the buzzer was waved off.

Alston said she felt no pressure shooting with the game on the line.

“Well I knew I was going to make them,” Alston said laughing. “I always look at them as free throws, they’re free.”

The Buckeyes, plagued with injury, only played seven women.

OSU was also without junior guard Raven Ferguson who was

suspended for the first three games of the season for a violation of team rules.

Coach Kevin McGuff said fitness was definitely a factor in allowing FAU back into the game.

“It’s not ideal to play a game and only play with seven people,” McGuff said. “We definitely got tired. I think we let it affect us too much. We got tired because our players play hard … We got to push through.”

McGuff also announced that junior guard Shelbi Honeycutt will be transferring to a school in her home state of Arkansas.

“She decided she is going to leave and get closer to home,” McGuff said. “Hopefully somewhere where she might be afforded a little more playing time. But she’s a good kid and we certainly wish her the best.”

The win was McGuff’s first home win as a Buckeye.

OSU’s next game is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. against the Virginia Commonwealth Rams at the Schottenstein Center.
