After the death of a former Ohio State student earlier this semester, some OSU officials are keeping mum about whether there will be additional enforcements in place at the Mirror Lake jump next week. Tushar Shriram Kabre, age 28, died Sept. 19 at the Wexner Medical Center after being pulled from Mirror Lake Aug. 18 and placed in the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition. His cause of death was near drowning, but his manner of death is undetermined, Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak said. OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said in an August email Kabre “received a master’s of science in chemistry degree in Autumn 2011” but he was not currently enrolled at the university. About two months later, OSU officials have not said how they plan to handle enforcement at the Mirror Lake jump this year. Jumping in Mirror Lake before the OSU football game against the University of Michigan is a university tradition, but it is not a university-sanctioned event. The Mirror Lake jump is set for Tuesday this year. Despite the lack of university endorsement, there is typically an increased police presence in the area and lights are set up to illuminate the lake. Last year, representatives from University Police, Columbus Division of Police, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Columbus Division of Fire, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and MedCorp Mobile Medical Services were present at the jump. OSU Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said, though, the university’s treatment of this year’s jump is still not nailed down. “Any time such a tragic incident occurs, it will

This year’s jump is scheduled to take place Nov. 26. prompt renewed consideration of how we can best ensure safety and security. University leaders have been in conversation about how we can best ensure any activities, informal or organized, around Mirror Lake are as safe as possible,” Isaacs said Tuesday. He would not provide further comment about whether this year’s handling of the event will be any different than in years past.

University Police Chief Paul Denton said Tuesday, however, the OSU Department of Public Safety’s efforts will likely be the same. “In terms of our security efforts, we’ve always maintained a good security effort for (the Mirror Lake jump). There’s nothing we would do (any) different

Charlie Bear closed because of safety and security issues Shelby Lum Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu Some doors have slammed shut for good at the Gateway, and despite what owners say, safety might have been the biggest issue. “There had been several safety issues and security instances over the course of the last couple of years that we had tried to address with Charlie Bear, and certainly their inability to work with us in trying to address those led us to some of our decision,” said Amanda Hoffsis, president of Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment. Since the beginning of the summer, at least three businesses in the South Campus Gateway have closed — Kildare’s Irish Pub, Charlie Bear: Land of Dance and Gooeyz, with the latter two announcing their leaves via social media. Charlie Bear revealed via Twitter and Facebook Oct. 24 it was moving to a new location at 2885 Olentangy River Road, formerly Cadillac Boo’s, which is owned by the same people as Charlie Bear. A new location might not have been the only motivation for the three-mile shift off campus though.

SuAnn Cook Agent-in-charge at the Ohio Department of Public Safety alongside the university and the city of Columbus. South Campus Gateway LLC is a subtenant of Campus Partners. Hoffsis said, though, the problems had to do with the state government. “Our only issues were events that the Ohio Department of Public Safety suggested we ramp down,” she said. SuAnn Cook, agent-in-charge at the Ohio Department of Public Safety, confirmed there were safety issues, with three formal complaints made at the Charlie Bear location in the Gateway. “All three of our investigations were closed (due) to either via an arrest or via a citation, so I would say no, that they had not complied with (requests to stop safety problems) because obviously, we arrested underaged people,” Cook said.

Ohio State student leaders are working on making an OSU education more affordable. OSU Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp and Vice President Josh Ahart spoke openly to their organization in the annual address. In his speech, Stepp said he plans to spend much of his final term lobbying OSU to improve access and affordability, calling student debt the “greatest problem in higher education of the 21st century.” “The day where a student can finance his or her way through college is long gone, and now students and families are taking out crippling loans,” said Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs. His speech was the first announcement of the findings of the Commission to Rethink Access, a USG committee formed in mid-October to address concerns about rising tuition and student debt. Stepp said OSU needs to develop a long-term plan to address the cost of

college and he plans to work with the administration to develop ways to make students more financially literate, with a better understanding of debt and how to pay it off. Tuition for the 2013-14 academic year is about $10,000 for Ohio residents and roughly $25,700 for nonresidents. Stepp also said the university needs to increase need-based aid for middle class students. USG has held preliminary conversations in recent months about its affordability policies with Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Steinmetz, as well as several university vice presidents, to discuss ways of implementing USG’s recommendations, said Michael Ringle, a fourth-year in political science who sits on the Commission to Rethink Access. Brett Bejcek, a first-year in actuarial science, said he appreciates the concern about rising tuition, but thinks it’s part of the cost of a good education. “You get what you pay for. Obviously a community college isn’t going to have as good of education as Ohio State, but it’s cheaper,” he said. Bejcek said, however, OSU should

campus Video game learning research program granted nearly $250K Video game grant

KATHLEEN MARTINI Lantern reporter martini.35@osu.edu Professors could soon be doling out video games as part of homework assignments after researchers were granted nearly $250,000 for the 2013-14 academic year. A research project on video game learning has received an extension on a grant from the National Science Foundation, said Ola Ahlqvist, an associate professor of geography and head researcher on the project. “We’re looking at how should this game be introduced in a classroom and what are the best ways to provide feedback and things in the game so students can learn the best way possible,” Ahlqvist said. “That’s what the grant is about — to understand how to use technology like this to help learners.” The video game focuses on farming in a village in India. Players select a piece of land to farm and have to handle all of the complexities of the profession, from drought to death of family members, Ahlqvist said. “It’s trying to be pretty realistic about the situation in India,” he said. More than 400 undergraduate students have played the game as part of a weekly homework assignment for Geography 2750, a world regional

Charlie Bear from 1A Yet Charlie Bear owner, Ted Lawson, said he didn’t see his business as being uncooperative. Instead, Lawson said he thinks Campus Partners “teamed up” with the Ohio Department of Public Safety to “go against (him) because there were certain events (Campus Partners) didn’t want.” While open in the Gateway, Charlie Bear held “18 and up” nights every Thursday to help give the younger crowd something to do rather than go downtown, and Gateway representatives didn’t like those events, he said. Some OSU students though, didn’t see the “18 and up” nights as a safety issue. “I know a lot of my friends when we were younger, freshmen or sophomore year, they would go to their ‘18 and up’ nights and I never had any assumption that it was unsafe,” said Lydia Simon, third-year in Chinese and art management. She added that she lived in the area near Gateway on Ninth Avenue and said people in that area can be “sketchy” sometimes, but she didn’t think Charlie Bear was bringing in a bad crowd. Those “18 and up” nights were eventually shut down at the dance club, even though Lawson said he

personally paid for additional security in and around his business. “I would have anywhere from two up to eight (security people) depending on the event … that was something that I did that was separate. I didn’t have to do that, but we did it to ensure that everyone was safe,” Lawson said. Even with those precautions, complaints were still filed against the tenant then-located at 1562 N. High St. “We have had three complaints since November of last year and those three complaints were all founded, meaning that we found violations of law during our investigations,” Cook said. She added, though, that details of those complaints could not be disclosed because some of the cases were still open, and no one has been formally charged as guilty. Lawson said he’s heard different reasons for why officials didn’t like Charlie Bear. “I’ve been told that they didn’t like our image and they didn’t like all the massive amounts of college kids drinking down there. They said it wasn’t a good image,” Lawson said.

“The funding has primarily provided direct support for three faculty and four graduate students in geography, computer science and physics education,” he said. The difference of research focus for this grant, as opposed to the one before it, switches from what students are learning to how they’re learning, said Rajiv Ramnath, an associate professor of practice in computer science and engineering and researcher on the project. “We have a sense of what (students) learn about after they play the game,” Ramnath said. “What we’re trying to figure out now is how they learn, what kind of concepts do they form in their minds, what kind of strategies do they use, how does the computer affect how they learn, those kinds of things.” The research has received positive feedback from the science community at national conventions because of its ability to show students a concept rather than just telling them, Ahlqvist said on the phone. “There’s a ton of interest in doing this,” he said, “because people see the potential of being able to use all of the existing geographic data as game worlds and essentially come up with all kinds of interesting simulations or gaming scenarios anywhere in the world.” The team plans to work with experts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Games, Learning

USG from 1A be making tuition at least affordable enough so students can pay their way through college by working. Nicole Bishop, a third-year in political science, said state and local governments need to lead the way in lowering costs for higher education. “They have more control over the nation’s culture of higher education. They need to take student loan rates more seriously and make sure that interest rates are being capped,” she said. Additionally, Bishop said there needs to be more debt forgiveness for people going into public service. Stepp also stressed the importance of campus safety in his speech. He said he is proud of the role USG played in the adoption of a joint jurisdiction agreement between University Police and the Columbus Division of Police that gave University Police

and Society center to improve the game, Ahlqvist said. “That allows us to learn from what they do and help us bring ourselves up to speed with the cutting edge in that area,” he said. Some students see this type of learning as beneficial to other subject areas outside of geography as well. “I’ve heard a lot of studies actually about neurosurgeons and a correlation between video game experience and success in noninvasive surgery,” said Casey Lower, a second-year in neuroscience. “There are a lot of similarities in video games and modern technology that’s used (in other professions), so I would say it’s a good idea.” Others said the success of the game in the classroom depends on its complexity. “(If the game would be effective for students) would mostly depend on how good the game is and how accurate it is,” said Devin VanCuren, a secondyear in philosophy. “Surely it might be more (educational) than reading a textbook, but I don’t know.” The possibilities for expansion into other areas of academia are huge, Ramnath said. “We can apply it to computer science learning, or physics learning, or other subject areas as well as having a more scientifically sound manner as opposed to trying and hoping people get interested,” he said.

some ability to enforce laws in the off-campus area. A reported armed robbery on 15th Avenue Nov. 11 led to the issuing of the sixth public safety notice since the beginning of August related to an armed robbery, attempted armed robbery or aggravated armed robbery reported in the OSU campus area, causing some students to question their safety off-campus. Ahart addressed the body before Stepp, and lauded the importance of shared governance at OSU. He said OSU’s model is one of only a few in the country that give students some administrative power. Ahart also praised changes made to the USG constitution over the summer. Under the new constitution, funding decisions were moved to from the General Assembly to an allocations committee. That move has allowed the General Assembly to focus its efforts on policy decisions and resolutions, he said.

Mirror Lake from 1A for (that) event in terms of police presence,” Denton said. He added that public safety coverage will be “pretty typical.” “If it occurs, we’ll be prepared certainly … We don’t really encourage people to participate,” he said. “We work it every year and move forward.” Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp said OSU should not crack down on the jump any more than usual this year. “Mirror Lake is a fantastic tradition. Students really enjoy jumping in the lake and celebrating the whole Beat Michigan culture,” he said. “I look forward to being able to defend students’ opportunities for being able to do that.” He said there have been conversations this year about how to keep students safe, but those talks are not unusual. “There’s always talks of what do we do on Mirror Lake (jump night) and how are we going to handle it. We’ve had conversations about it, but they’re not new,” Stepp said, adding that he believes appropriate actions will be taken to make sure there are “no more tragedies like the one in the fall.” Some OSU students said people shouldn’t jump this year in order to honor Kabre. “I know the Mirror Lake jump is a tradition and so I guess if they were to crack it down a lot of people would be very disappointed because, you know, they love jumping into Mirror Lake,” said Oby Ngene-Igwe, a third-year in biology who said she has never jumped in Mirror Lake. “But out of respect for the guy … we could just hold it off for this year and next year continue it.” Others, though, said the tradition shouldn’t be altered since the incident was unrelated.

“I don’t think anything should be different because of that. Although it’s unfortunate, (it) didn’t happen on Mirror Lake jump night,” said Nick Noggle, a fourth-year in philosophy. “I don’t think it should affect that night just because, I mean, you’re capable of having an accident anywhere and drowning in any body of water.” Noggle said he jumped his freshman year and has watched every year since. Kayla Goddard, a fourth-year in communication and women’s studies, said she was “torn” about whether there should be more enforcement. “(University officials) don’t want to take any responsibility for it or what the students do that night,” said Goddard, who has jumped the past two years. “(Having) more police involvement would kind of say that they’re supporting it, but then, you know, that’s a tragedy if that happened to a student.” David Winterstein, a fourth-year in industrial and systems engineering who has never jumped, said what the university does or doesn’t do probably won’t impact whether or not students jump in the lake. “For most students, they probably don’t see a relationship between that incident and what they’re going to do for the Michigan game. I think most students will probably make that decision independent of (Kabre’s death),” he said. “Probably regardless of what university officials do, I think students are going to do what they feel they should do.” He said, though, safety should still be a priority in the way OSU handles the night. “If there’s anything (OSU officials) can do to kind of help facilitate the safety of the event, I think that’s the best way to go,” Winterstein said. “If they kind of outlaw it, you’re going to get a response from students probably worse than what they originally would’ve done.”

Junior guard Shannon Scott (3) sets up in defensive position during a game against Morgan State Nov. 9 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 89-50.

The Ohio State men’s basketball team is coming off a defensive showing coach Thad Matta called one of the best performances by a team since he’s been at OSU. “I thought we were as tuned in, as dialed in as we could possibly be,” Matta said Tuesday, referring to the 52-35 win against then-No. 17 Marquette (2-1, 0-0) Saturday. “I thought guys used their length, their athleticism, they understood what we were trying to take away … It was probably about as good defensively as we could play.” The Buckeyes held the Golden Eagles to only 18.9 percent shooting in that game, and submitting a similar effort against American University (1-1, 0-0) Wednesday remains the focus. The American Eagles run an offense that has given the No. 8-ranked Buckeyes (3-0, 0-0) fits in the past. “We know they run the Princeton Offense. That’s going to be fun to guard like always,” said junior guard Shannon Scott Monday with a smile. “We just gotta treat them like any other team. Just because they’re not ranked doesn’t mean they can’t come in here and beat us.” The “Princeton Offense” is a style predicated on constant motion, quick cuts behind defenders and solid outside shooting. Matta said it takes extra time to prepare for the offense itself, and the Eagles shoot a high number of shots from beyond the 3-point arc.

“It’s just the cutting is unique, you’ve got five guys out there that can shoot,” Matta said. “I think 47 percent of their field goal attempts are threes.” An in-conference foe, Northwestern, also runs the Princeton Offense, and the Wildcats have given the Buckeyes all they can handle in recent memory. Two seasons ago, OSU slipped by to beat Northwestern on the road, 75-73, as then-Buckeye forward Jared Sullinger scored the game-winning basket in the waning seconds. Last year, OSU needed late runs in both games against Northwestern to put them away. “It’s one of those deals where you may give up a lay up, you may give up a (3-pointer) here or there,” Matta said. “But it’s the possession after possession after possession of doing what you’re supposed to do and how you’re supposed to do it. And then in the end, you hope that you can rebound long shots, long rebounds. We gotta scoop those up. We’ve definitely learned our lesson over time playing Northwestern in that regard.” Staying disciplined on the defensive side of the ball is going to be key, as the Buckeyes look to win their fourth straight to open the season. “We have to be really sound on defense. We can’t gamble like we probably would,” Scott said. “I know for myself, I like to be in the passing lanes, I probably can’t do that too much cause they’re going to back-door it. Just playing honestly, defensively. Staying between the man and the basket is a huge key for us.” Tipoff between the Buckeyes and Eagles is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

Mewhort ‘trying not to think about’ last home game daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu It is often said football games are won or lost in the trenches. The 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes make no exception to this school of thought. Although senior running back Carlos Hyde is having a great season for the No. 3-ranked Ohio State football team (10-0, 6-0), if it weren’t for the “big uglies,” Hyde’s numbers would be lower. “I give all credit to my offensive line and my receivers,” Hyde said after the game against Illinois, in which he ran for a career-high 246 yards. “They did a great job.” A big part of the offensive line’s success this year has come from redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort, who is set to start his final game at Ohio Stadium as a member of the OSU football team. It is set to be the 36th straight game Mewhort has started for the Buckeyes. Mewhort said Monday he is “trying not to think about” playing his last game in Ohio Stadium. “I know that when I run out of the tunnel for that last time, it’s going to be a pretty emotional thing,” Mewhort said. “But it’s been a great ride … I owe who I am to this university and this program. So it’s going to mean a lot to me, like I said my last time. I’m going to be taking it all in and looking forward to it.” The last time Mewhort did not start for the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium was Nov. 27, 2010, in a 37-7 Buckeye win against Michigan. During the Big Ten Teleconference Tuesday, Meyer said Mewhort brings not only a high level of play, but great leadership to the Buckeyes. “He’s one of my all-time favorite players I’ve been around. He’s playing at an extremely high level, but that’s just part of it,” Meyer said. “His leadership — he got hurt last week so we had to take him out of the game and our offense just started spiring and it’s not just the fact that he’s a heck of a player, it’s just the leadership value he brings and the ‘esprit de corps’ that he is a part of.” A large part of the offensive line’s success,

Redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort (74) prepares to block a defender during a game against Penn State Oct. 26 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 63-14. Mewhort said, has been the ability to take responsibility as leaders and players. “We did a lot of growing up, as far as maturity goes. I think when coach Meyer got here, we realized that we were the older guys now, and we had to assume some responsibility and not just take a back seat and watch other guys do it,” Mewhort said. “That’s kind of what I’ve mentioned before, guys taking ownership. That was really cool to see. Coach Meyer put a lot of pressure on us to do that and we accepted that and that’s when we started to see guys thrive.” A big concern for the Buckeyes will be blocking out the Senior Day emotions in addition to the BCS standings, and just focusing on Indiana (4-6, 2-4), Mewhort said. “I think there’s a big focus on that now especially that we’re winding down. I think things are getting kind of real for us,” Mewhort said. “We have our eyes on something, but we don’t want to talk about it and I think that’s what coach Meyer was talking about … we’re just going to take it day by day and go through the daily grind and try to get better as an offense and defense.”

Redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley agreed with Mewhort, adding that keeping focused on the next game has been part of OSU’s success this year. “Things like the win streak and clinching the Leaders Division and all this, it’s a lot of pressure on you and to think about that stuff and concentrate on that stuff it produces nothing but anxiety, stress,” Linsley said. “Week in and week out, I know it sounds cliche … but it’s a one game season for us. We’ve done nothing but prepare like that all year. Truly, that’s been a huge part of our success.” Mewhort and the rest of the seniors on the Buckeye offensive line are scheduled for their last game at Ohio Stadium Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Mewhort said it has been special playing with the senior class and watching them grow. “I just think we are a really close-knit group of guys. Passionate, I would say. Really caring,” Mewhort said. “There’s something I haven’t seen … I’ve seen guys change over the past three years and really become selfless people. That’s something that’s really special. Seeing guys transform from ‘me’ guys into ‘team’ guys.”

COMMENTARY

MLS should adopt European scheduling system Dominique Bidawald For The Lantern bidawald.1@osu.edu

There have been recent talks that Major League Soccer could be adopting a schedule similar to that of its European counterparts. Currently, the MLS season begins in March and regular season play ends in October, with playoffs beginning soon afterward. If the league decided to convert to the schedule most European soccer leagues use, teams would begin their seasons in August and play until May, with a short break in December and January. Some of the most successful leagues in the world, including the English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, the Italian Serie A and the German Bundesliga, use this type of schedule. If MLS changed its schedule, it would be more in accordance with these leagues. But what exactly would this schedule change mean for MLS? For starters, this alteration of the schedule would result in more competition in viewers and attendance, which MLS seems to be struggling with already. With its current schedule, the only other major league sport MLS has to compete with during the summer is baseball. If the league decides to go

through with the change, it would be competing with the NHL, the NFL and NBA at some point during the season. If the league does change its schedule, weather would also prove to be a difficult issue in regards to attendance. With the change, MLS play would run during the winter months, and in certain cities where winters are harsh, this could cause a problem. The 2012 season set a record for MLS’ highest attendance since its first games in 1996, with an average of 18,807 spectators. Would attendance still increase or even be maintained during these cold months? In addition, some people might feel that MLS should not have to change its schedule or rules to match that of the European league. Unlike the European leagues, whose seasons end after regular season play, MLS has a playoff system, similar to that of other American sports. On the other hand, changing the schedule would align MLS to European leagues and FIFA. During the summer, there are an abundance of international games played because of it being the offseason for most leagues — but not for MLS. Players in MLS are always called up for international duty during the summer, causing them to miss many games and often become fatigued from all the back and forth travel they endure. This could easily be avoided by a change

of schedule. And what of the World Cup, which takes place in the summer? The MLS will most likely take some time off, similar to what the teams have done in the past, but the league does not postpone its games for the entire length of the World Cup. MLS’ current schedule does not cater well to the needs of international players. So what does this all mean? Should MLS adopt a European-style schedule? In my opinion, it would be beneficial for MLS to alter its schedule to be more in accordance with the European leagues. Since MLS attendance has been rising in recent years, I have no doubt that soccer fans will not abandon the sport for football, basketball or hockey. The popularity of soccer in this country is growing, which can be seen through the EPL signing a huge $250 million dollar TV package with NBC here in the states. The change would also make it easier for the players, especially the players who serve international duty during the summer — they will no longer have to miss regular season games for international games. It is time for the MLS and the its to abandon its old ways, and come round to the idea of a new schedule. One thing is for sure, though; the transition, while necessary, will most likely not be an easy one.

‘All eyes’ on C-Bus for MLG Championship T.J. McGarry Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu Football and basketball better watch out because there’s a new sporting event coming to Columbus. Major League Gaming is set to host the MLG Championship at the greater Columbus Convention Center Friday through Sunday. MLG is the No. 1 professional gaming outlet in America. It hosts professional video game tournaments and organizes leagues of professional gamers for competitive play. “MLG is the global leader in pro gaming,” said Katie Goldberg, senior vice-president of communications for MLG. The Columbus tournament is set to feature professional competitions in two different games, “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” the latest game in the popular first person shooter series, and “Dota 2,” a team-based online multiplayer battle arena-style game. The “Call of Duty: Ghosts” competition is scheduled to feature professional “Call of Duty” teams from around North America competing for a $50,000 cash prize pool, and the team who comes in first will win $20,000. This competition is to be the first time the newest “Call of Duty” game will be played professionally in a competitive environment, according to the championship’s website. The competition is set to host 8 pro teams with sponsors and 12 local teams. The “Call of Duty: Ghosts” competition is also slated to feature an open bracket competition in which non-professionals can join in on the gaming and even compete for the cash prize. “A lot of people from the Columbus area will be there to play,” Goldberg said. In addition to the competition, Infinity Ward and Activision are also set to unveil some new features of the game. “Dota 2” competition is to feature a variety of international teams competing for a cash prize of more than $110,000, according to the championship’s website. Goldberg said it will be the first international event for the game. “We will have teams from France, Korea and North America (remotely),” Goldberg said. While the idea of a professional gaming event might seem strange to some, MLG is attempting to popularize the concept by following in the footsteps of professional sports.

The Major League Gaming Championship tournament is slated to take place at the Greater Columbus Convention Center Nov. 22-24. “You can forget everything you’ve ever thought of an event occurring at a convention center,” Goldberg said. “Everything we do is modeled after pro sports.” MLG has done so by enforcing team-based competition, encouraging fans to watch online and by adopting an ESPN-style broadcaster to provide commentary on its competitions, Goldberg said. This format has garnered MLG’s millions of fans. “We usually have between four and six million people watch online over the weekend,” Goldberg said. “All eyes will be on Columbus that weekend.” Goldberg went on to say that this year’s MLG event in Columbus, the ninth time it’s held an event in Ohio’s capital, promises to be one of the largest MLG events.

“We’re expecting this to be either the biggest or second largest MLG event ever,” Goldberg said. Some Ohio State students thought the prospect of a professional gaming event coming to Columbus was interesting. “I’ll have to tell my roommates about that, they’re huge (Call of Duty) fans,” said Kurt Lang, a fourthyear in welding engineering. However, other students didn’t seem as thrilled. “I like video games, but I’m not into just watching,” said Colin Freed, a fourth-year in business logistics management. “I know what MLG is but I’m not into watching it.” Passes to the event are $35 online through MGL’s website and can be purchased for $50 at the door. The event is also set to be streamed online.

Peace, happiness, quality key at Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees Nen Lin Soo Lantern reporter soo.8@osu.edu Fair Trade. Organic. Single-origin coffee. These words are not thrown around in the stores of Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees merely to attract customers. Living with a passion for coffee has enabled Joe Reiser, owner of Winans and Ohio State alumnus, to adopt these philosophies in his coffee products. To achieve this goal, Reiser and his wife, Laurie Winans, only use perfectly ripe Arabica coffee beans that were hand-picked by farmers from growing countries. Fair trade to Reiser means paying a fair price for the coffee beans so that the farmers will be able to afford proper tools and organic fertilizers, he said. In turn, quality coffee beans are produced. “Those farmers work really, really hard to make that happen,” Reiser said. “If you pick some of them too late and some too early, they’ll all be different sizes, and when you roast it, some of them will burn because it’s smaller, and then you’re forced to burn all your coffee until they’re dark, and that’s what bigger companies do.” Although coffee quality is Winans’ primary concern, peace and happiness come hand-in-hand with the sale of fine chocolates and coffee in a German Village store, Reiser said. Such peace and happiness was experienced by Amber Falter, a third-year in environment and natural resources management, when she first stumbled upon Winans while on the way to Schiller Park six months ago. “It was just such a great experience since the first time, and (my friend and I have) been going back ever since,” Falter said. “Definitely the reason why we take the trips down there most of the time.” Carly Lyman, a second-year in marketing, has experienced Winans as an employee of one of the stores in Piqua, Ohio, and as a consumer. “I feel like the customers come in more for the experience — we know their names, we’ll talk to them about their day while we make their drinks, it’s just an overall great

Joe Reiser, an OSU alumnus and owner of Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees, examines the final phase of the roast at the store’s roaster in Piqua, Ohio. place to go get your coffee and chocolate,” Lyman said. Lyman works part-time with Winans during school breaks and has been doing so for three years over school breaks. Both Falter and Lyman said they find the distance from the coffee store in German Village to the main campus as one slight obstacle for chocolate and coffee lovers like them who do not always have access to a car. However, they have attempted in many ways to spread the word about their love for Winans. “I always bring it home for my friends to try,” Lyman said. “I always get so excited when I can share the products of Winans with

my friends who wouldn’t have the chance to try their products, and it makes me happy knowing that they love the products just as much as I love the products.” Reiser has made the family business “very international yet very local” through years of backpacking and exploring coffee farms in places around the world like Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Indonesia. Winans is also working with a farm in Honduras and Nicaragua where cacao and coffee beans are planted in the same farm. Armed with more than 20 years of experience in the chocolates and coffee business, after Reiser purchased Winans off the hands of his father-in-law, Max Winans, the

family business is currently in its fourth generation. However, Winans was not always about chocolates and coffee. Established in the late 1800s, the first two generations of Winans were bakers, and it was only in the 1960s when Max Winans started dabbling into chocolates and candies. Reiser was averaging four cups of cappuccinos per day prior to starting a coffee bar in their first Winans Candies store in Piqua. The coffee bar served as a need for both him and the customers. From there, Winans flourished to become the joint chocolates and coffee venture that it is known for today. Today, Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees has multiple stores: eight in western Ohio and two in Central Ohio, in Dublin and German Village. It was always Winans’ goal to expand to a bigger city like Columbus. “It was just right by Schiller Park, just this cute little space, so we literally in two days just rented the space because we knew the city so well,” Reiser said. “It was a quick decision, but a perfect match. German Village is an interesting neighborhood because it’s so established, so historic but it has young professionals, newlyweds, retired executives, retired academia from Ohio State and other universities, living all in the area, so they’re very outward people and they seek out quality places with a nice environment.” Reiser and Laurie Winans hold talks and public cupping sessions regularly in-store and in other places. These informative sessions are aimed to show people how the couple examines the coffee when they’re buying it at the farm, how they roast it in the roaster, how they prepare it, and how to store it. “That’s part of my quest now,” Reiser said. “To help customers from Ohio understand where this coffee came from, how many lives it has touched to get to us.” Winans’ chocolates cost upwards of $10.95 for a gift box, while coffee cost upwards of $13.95 per 1 pound bag. The German Village location of Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffee is located at 897 S Third St.

studentvoice Unreported sexual harassment makes us all victims Sexual Harassment: Facts and Figures

62% of female college students and 61% of male college students report having been sexually harassed at their university...

...yet only 10% or less of student sexual harassment victims attempt to report their experiences to a university employee...

... and 39% of students who experienced sexual harassment say the incident or incidents occurred in the dorm source: www.aauw.org

MADISON CURTIS / Lantern designer

LANTERN STAFF It’s unfortunate that in 2013, sexual harassment is so commonplace it can be excused away by personality traits and a culture that protects offenders while further victimizing those who suffer. The Lantern broke a story Friday about Ohio State cheerleading coaches who were fired in May after a sexual harassment investigation discovered inappropriate behavior including, but not limited to: sexual text messages sent from a coach to a student, physical touching, coach nudity in front of athletes and suggestive, derogatory nicknames. The assistant coaches in question, Eddie Hollins and Dana Bumbrey, were released from their positions, but that doesn’t make the problem disappear. There is still the head coach, who didn’t report the information through the appropriate channels when she was first made aware of this kind of inappropriate conduct. There are also students who never spoke up. Those who saw what was going on, perhaps even experienced it themselves, and for whatever reason, didn’t report it. Sexual harassment is an issue that can affect anyone interacting with people anywhere, including at school, work or while participating in athletics. It doesn’t matter if you’re a male or a female, either. In fact, it’s important to note that in regards to the OSU investigation, both men and women reported being harassed when interviewed. It can be easy to write off sexual harassment as a female problem — or something that could never happen to you. Something that only happens when individuals “lead on” their

harassers. Something that can be avoided by dressing a certain way or acting a certain way. But the truth is, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is sexual harassment doesn’t discriminate. Power structures make you vulnerable to sexual harassment, and while incidents can occur between equals, that wasn’t the case with the OSU cheerleading team and often isn’t the case. The assistant coaches, who have not returned The Lantern’s requests for comment, took advantage of their positions of power over student-athletes in a grave breach of trust. They abused their power at the expense of student-athletes who had accepted that harassment was just part of the way things were. Shame on head coach Lenee Buchman for not reporting this behavior initially and protecting her athletes from physical, emotional and mental abuses that come with sexual misconduct. OSU not only didn’t let go of Buchman, they gave her a pay raise. A university is intended to be a temple for knowledge and a safe place to grow and learn — not a place where students can easily fall prey to misguided and abusive leadership. If OSU wants to remain a safe haven for young adults in a transitional phase, it (and subsequently its programs) should do nothing to protect offenders and everything to assist students in need. A structure that protects offenders makes everyone a victim. JOIN THE CONVERSATION

Word of the year ‘selfie’ a joyous addition to dictionary I’m personally glad to see the much more ridiculous term, “twerk,” fall out of the running for at least the year 2013. In its newly-bestowed definition, Oxford Dictionaries describes a selfie as, “(n.) a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.” Surely not everyone is excited about Oxford Dictionaries’ claim that the word “selfie” is something of “cultural significance,” but I think selfies have been given an undeserved bad reputation. Some can argue that selfies perpetuate a culture of narcissism, and I find it hard to argue that’s implicitly untrue. However, I can argue that there’s more to a selfie than meets the eye. Selfies can facilitate confidence in ways people haven’t been able to find on their own before. Taking a smiling selfie is a way to say to the world, “I am happy, I am confident and I am beautiful.” Selfies are about loving yourself. Because that’s what it comes down to — loving yourself before expecting anyone else to. This isn’t necessarily selfish or narcissistic. Loving yourself is healthy. It has been proven that smiling more makes you happier. And happy people can spark joy in those around them. So if taking a photo

Social media fixation founded on ...what?

Chance to see astrophysicist at OSU too exciting to pass up Neil deGrasse Tyson — the celestial-minded, professional stargazer, deep-space lover and the rock-god of astrophysicists — is coming to Ohio State Thursday. O-H … Perhaps you’re not as excited as I am to hear from Tyson. If you’re anything like some of my roommates, then you have no idea what astrophysics is and could never identify a specific astrophysicist. SAM HARRINGTON In stark contrast, a large harrington.227@osu.edu number Ohio State students easily could have named one Nov. 6. These students braved both wind and rain to snag tickets so they could attend Tyson’s forthcoming visit to OSU, where he is set to give a talk on the latest cosmological discoveries. I find that students generally view science-related material in one of two different ways; they either appreciate or depreciate science; it either stirs up excitement or apathy. Maybe the reason for this divide in thinking comes from a mischaracterization that science is too obscure and complex for any non-science minded person to understand; while it can be complicated, it is not incomprehensible. One can generally understand how things come to be and currently exist without having an exhaustive knowledge of specific details. Tyson’s work and popularity speaks to this point. From being the host of the Public Broadcasting Service’s Nova ScienceNow to remaking Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, Tyson has become renowned for presenting scientific realities in an understandable way. Through Tyson, I see two proper ways to view science both for the scientist and for the layman; one way is that of the academic, to study, examine and seek to understand every unknown detail; another is that of the artist, to abide in the mystery of the unknown while marveling in its grandeur. Both views are opposed to scientific apathy. I am trying to form myself into a productive member of society and having a base knowledge of scientific material is the least I can do. In this pursuit, I would be foolish if I did not take advantage of the opportunities this university affords to its students. Being lethargic toward learning has no place in my life. While it is too late to get a ticket for Tyson’s talk Thursday, it’s not too late to increase your cosmological and astrological knowledge. Here are some quick bits of information to get you started: an astrophysicist studies the universe, the universe is expanding and the earth is more than 4 billion years old. We live in an exciting age of scientific discovery, and even with past scientific advances taken into account, humanity is just now beginning to uncover the complexity and glorious splendor of space.

Tweet, Instagram, Facebook, repeat, tweet, Instagram, Facebook, repeat… When and why did it become normal for our face-to-face social interactions with others to take a back seat to communication via social media? Why is it that as a college student, staying up on the latest news, entertainment and friends’ whereabouts is more important than getting my history paper done? We are the products of a generation completely absorbed by technology and we use that technology to stay hyper-informed through social media. Even when we are focusing, we aren’t really MADELYN GRANT focusing. I often find students in my classes taking grant.382@osu.edu notes on the professor’s lecture, while simultaneously watching a YouTube video in the background or glancing back and forth at their phone to check for missed tweets or texts. I am most definitely guilty of this, but I find myself wondering how this become the norm. We are constantly craving the newest and greatest in terms of technology and information. We want information and we want it now. Social media has become an integral part of our society and when it is not readily available at our fingertips, we are lost. Because our smartphones allow us the opportunity to check various news sites, social media apps or any other form of communication at the click of a button or the drag of a fingertip, we have grown to be impatient. There is no denying social media brings with it the ability to check information faster and more efficiently then ever before. It also allows for the constant flow of information and keeps people in the know. For a generation that loves to know it all, this is what we crave. It is so important that we take a step back once in a while and realize how this technology age has transformed our generation. I am quite sure the parents of children growing up in this technology-crazy generation constantly think back to how different their lives were growing up. As I sit at family dinners and I am glancing back and forth to my phone to check for updates on my social media accounts, I constantly hear my parents saying things like, “We didn’t even have cellphones or technology and we did just fine!” I feel guilty at times when I forget to acknowledge the fact that my parents did in fact grow up without these forms of technology, and they survived. I know I don’t need my phone or my social media, so why am I glued to it? Yet it also plays a major role in the job field today. When college students are graduating and applying for jobs, the thought that usually crosses a students’ mind is, will they check my Facebook and Twitter to see what I’ve been up to the last four years? Unfortunately for many students, this can be a problem, because you never know what might show up with a simple Google search of your name. Something we all ought to know when it comes to technology and social media is that nothing can ever be truly erased from the cyber world. Those occasional pictures taken at parties that you wish were never posted, have the power to come back and haunt you when you least expect it. When we tweet something or Instagram a picture and then think back a few moments later and realize it might not have been the smartest move and choose to delete it, is it really gone? Did we actually erase the content from the Internet or just simply from our phones? I am writing this commentary as a student who admits to being consumed by social media and technology but also as a student who is concerned for where we are headed. What has social media ever done for us and why are we so willing to devote so much of our time to it? We owe it to ourselves as the trailblazing generation of the social media frenzy to take a step back and think about what that last tweet or Facebook post really means.

of oneself that makes one feel beautiful makes that person happy, sharing one’s smile with the world can have a domino effect. Additionally, in today’s social media age, many millennials (while not all) feed off of attention on social networks, whether we like to admit it or not. “Likes,” “favorites,” “retweets” — these all can make us feel good, and make us feel like the information, photo or link we’re sharing is worthwhile. And when people “like” our Instagram selfies, yes, that does feel good. Some charity campaigns have even turned taking selfies into a way to directly impact someone else’s life for good. These movements include DoSomething.org and VH1’s #UnselfishSelfie campaign and Johnson & Johnson’s “Family is Familia” contest. In both cases, positive selfies were encouraged. For these campaigns, selfies tagged with certain hashtags on Instagram and photo-sharing app Donate A Photo, respectively, added up to donations given to allotted causes. That’s it. One selfie can not only make you a more confident human being, but can directly aid someone else and make a difference in the world. So why not choose to take a selfie and spread joy? Whether it’s for the world or for you alone.

When some people think of selfies, a few associated words might come to mind: self-absorbed, shallow, superficial. I like to think of a more positive term, though. Shameless. Each year, Oxford Dictionaries chooses a “Word of the Year,” designated as “a word, or expression, that we can see has attracted a great deal of interest during the year to date” that will “have lasting CAITLIN ESSIG potential as a word of cultural essig.21@osu.edu significance,” according to the Oxford Dictionaries’ blog. This year, “selfie” was selected from a short list that included words such as “binge-watch” and “twerk.” In this Snapchat age, “selfie” is an on-point choice. And while some “selfie” haters don’t like the term for its negative connotation,

[ a +e ] Opera Columbus aims to show magic with ‘Madama Butterfly’

Andrew Graham and Swarming Branch slated to be Next@Wex

T.J. McGarry Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu

Matthew Lovett Senior Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu

A new opera has landed in Columbus. Opera Columbus along with Ohio State’s Department of Theatre and School of Music is set to present its rendition of “Madama Butterfly” this weekend. The show is set to be held at the Southern Theatre with a preview performance Wednesday at 2 p.m. and regular performances scheduled for Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Opera Columbus is a local nonprofit group dedicated to promoting opera in Columbus and performing opera shows for Columbus residents. Peggy Kriha Dye, Opera Columbus’ general manager, said they hope the performance of “Madama Butterfly” will help “revitalize” Columbus’ opera scene, a goal of Opera Columbus. “This show is very significant for us and for the company,” Kriha Dye said. “‘Madama Butterfly’ marks the return of locally produced opera.” “Madama Butterfly” was written in 1903 by Giacomo Puccini and tells the story of a young Japanese girl married to an American soldier at the turn of the 20th century. “‘Madama Butterfly’ is a homerun,” Kriha Dye said. “The music is recognizable … it’s such a classic story.” Some of the show’s cast members are excited to perform the famous piece. “Puccini is one of the masters of putting words and music together. It’s simply incredible,” said Olga Perez Flora, who plays Suzuki, the maid of the titular character, Madama Butterfly. Perez Flora said she is excited to share the story of Suzuki with the audience. “Suzuki is a soul sister for Madama Butterfly,” Perez Flora said. “It really is a beautiful friendship.” Perez Flora is an Arizona native who came to Columbus to get her doctorate degree in vocal performance from OSU before being hired by Opera Columbus. She said she has been impressed with the overall quality of the “Madama Butterfly” production. “My castmates are simply beautiful,” Perez Flora said. “This is one of those shows where everyone is at a high level of talent.” Opera Columbus has been collaborating with Ohio State’s Departments of Theatre and Music for this performance, said Daniel Gray, a chairman for the Department of Theater. Gray said the stage manager for “Madama Butterfly” will be OSU graduate Jackie Benedict. Kriha Dye also commented on OSU’s involvement with this production, stating about half of the chorus for this show will be OSU students. Both Gray and Kriha Dye said they expect the relationship between Opera Columbus and OSU’s Music and Theatre Departments to grow and strengthen as time progresses.

Singer-songwriter Andrew Graham, the namesake for his band Andrew Graham & Swarming Branch, is not concerned with making his music with the same crew of musicians at every show or album. As the name might imply, the original concept behind Swarming Branch was focused on having a consistently shifting lineup, Graham said. “I feel it’s kind of good to have rotating membership just so that it can keep going, so that lots of different people can get involved, and when performing live, the songs can take on a different character depending on who was playing and always keep it fresh,” Graham said. As such, with Graham on vocals and guitar and a keyboardist and a drummer to support him, he is scheduled to play as a trio at his upcoming show opening for Destroyer at the Wexner Center for the Arts Thursday. Graham used David Bowie’s career as an example of someone who “plays with some studio musicians from album to album, but largely his backing band changed from album to album.” This contrasts with many classic rock bands or super groups, which seem to require a certain lineup to express their music, Graham said. “When you talk about The Beatles, or The Who or a band like that, people who are big fans know all the names of the players. They have kind of built up a myth, whether it’s true or not, that that magic can only happen with those specific people,” Graham said. Swarming Branch did not become as “swarming” as Graham

Priti Ghandi (as Cio-Cio) and Espen Elfers (as Sorrow) in ‘Madama Butterfly,’ which is scheduled to run at the Southern Theatre Nov. 20, Nov. 22 and Nov. 24. Perez Flora said she really wants to see audience members get lost in the childlike magic of opera. “Opening night, you hit that stage and get in a zone … when I get in a zone, it becomes really magical,” Perez Flora said. “I want the audience to open their ears, to think about how the words and music come together.” Kriha Dye said Columbus has been yearning for that opera magic. “We already reached our financial goal for this show, which is really rare for a nonprofit.” Kriha Dye said. “It really shows that Columbus wants this.” Tickets for Wednesday’s preview are available for $18.75 after fees, and ticket prices for Friday’s and Sunday’s performance vary. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

had intended at its inception, he said. His live band now consists of the same five to six musicians from show to show, generally playing as a trio or a quartet, he said. Graham’s tendency for dropping the names of high-achieving, established artists was reflective of Graham’s old love of classic rock. However, it is in Graham’s lyrics he is able to distance himself from these acts, he said. “The lyrics are really dense. That sets it aside from a lot of the music that it is similar to sonically. I feel like even when the songs sound old, the lyrics are new,” Graham said. “Even when the music sounds like it might be from the ‘70s, we’re not doing the same thing with the vocals that you would expect from a David Bowie album.” Andrew Graham & Swarming Branch come to the Wexner Center as part of its “Next@Wex” series. These concerts focus “on the best indie bands that we feel match our contemporary art mission: indie rock, electronica, left-field hip hop, world music cross-over, etc,” said Charles Helm, director of performing arts, in an email. Andrew Graham and Destroyer have a “complementary aesthetic, similar in that they both have a unique, singular idea for singersongwriter led bands,” Helm continued. Likewise, Kyle Siegrist, owner of Lost Weekend Records, located at 2960 N High St., said Graham’s records showcase his talents as an artist and lyricist. “He’s a good songwriter,” Siegrist said. “He has a lot of his friends play on them, too. He’s just a good songwriter. Andrew Graham & Swarming Branch is slated to take the Wexner Center Performance Space’s stage, located at 1871 N. High St., at 8 p.m. Thursday.
