PAD aims to be efficient

Questions remain after OSU announced plan to privatize energy LOGAN HICKMAN Campus editor hickman.201@osu.edu After university officials announced that Ohio State is looking to privatize the management of its energy, it’s still unclear how any prospective management company or OSU might profit.

Meanwhile, at least one expert said the initiative’s success will depend on the deal’s transparency, while another said he’s still not convinced it will save OSU money.

The plan OSU officials announced to the University Senate Fiscal Committee Tuesday that it plans to enter into a long-term lease with a private

company to manage its energy — including natural gas, electricity and water for heating and cooling. It’s calling the plan the Comprehensive Energy Management Initiative.

That company could turn a profit by helping OSU cut energy costs and make it more energy efficient, Provost and Executive Vice President Joseph Steinmetz told The Lantern on Wednesday.

Even so, when asked how that company might specifically profit, OSU spokesman Chris Davey didn’t have a direct response.

“Because this is a comprehensive approach to energy management, this partner would use its expertise in energy purchasing, delivery and management to meet our requirements for efficiency and affordable energy — while

Ohio State is looking to enter a long-term lease with a private company to manage its energy.

It is too early to know if the lease will result in an addition or reduction in jobs.

There is little talk of privatizing anything else at the moment.

fter handling Illinois, 55-14, redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett said the Ohio State football team has no problem taking things one step at a time.

“I think we as an organization did a pretty good job of just focusing on the task at hand, and tonight that was Illinois,” Barrett said.

But as soon as the clock hit zero Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, the task at hand shifted from the Fighting Illini to the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans (7-1, 4-0). The No. 13 Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0) are scheduled to play the Spartans in East Lansing, Mich., on Saturday at 8 p.m.

“This is huge,” senior wide receiver Devin Smith said of the matchup with Michigan State. “We checked this on our calendar just because what happened last year.”

The last time the two teams faced-off was the 2013 Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. Michigan State came away with a 34-24 win, effectively ending OSU’s hopes of making an appearance in the last-ever BCS National Championship game and snapping the Buckeyes’ 24-game win streak.

“I’m not gonna lie to you, I cried for like two days,” Smith said Saturday. “It was tough, and the whole team, it seemed like after we took that loss it took the whole soul out of the team.”

Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said the Buckeyes put emphasis on that loss during the offseason, but added that their focus came week by week once fall rolled around.

“You try to use that loss as motivation but, once the season hits, not to sound clichéd, but I mean it’s literally one game at a time,” Herman said after the win against Illinois.

While the Spartans are a top-10 team once again, the Buckeyes fielded a

new-look lineup that included Barrett in place of injured senior quarterback Braxton Miller and a few fresh faces on defense. One of those fresh faces — redshirt-freshman linebacker Darron Lee — said he knows what the upcoming game means even though he wasn’t at Lucas Oil Stadium last December.

“I wasn’t really in the locker room for that, but watching on TV, I mean, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt a lot,” Lee said after the Illinois game. “We feel like these guys took something from us and it’s full metal jacket now and we’re trying to go win this game.”

Lee added that the Buckeyes are planning to return the favor when they make the trip to East Lansing next weekend.

“Everybody is focusing on how this week is here upon us now and we’re just gonna get ready to go and take it,” he said.

Barrett agreed that OSU is only focused on the Spartans coming out of the win, but made clear he feels that way because it’s

Baby Ruth: Ohio State parents’ small Halloween costume is a big Internet hit DANIELLE SEAMON Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu He’s small, but he’s made a statement.

While Sycamore Livingston’s older counterparts were gearing up their Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and Avengers costumes for the annual night of trick-ortreating last week, the 12-week-old’s parents — Kate Livingston and Sam Affholter — were planning to dress Sycamore as their personal superhero.

Thus, Ruth “Baby” Ginsburg was born.

“Before (Kate) finished putting together the costume, she was like, ‘I think this costume is going to make our baby Internet famous,’” Affholter — a former Ph.D. candidate at Ohio State in women’s, gender and sexuality studies — recalled.

“And it totally did.”

Since the picture was taken and posted on Kate Livingston’s Facebook last Wednesday, the image of baby Sycamore dressed as the associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court — captioned “I dissent.” — has gone viral. BuzzFeed declared that Sycamore won Halloween; Jezebel claimed that the very image would “Make You Ovulate So Hard”; and Time.com suggested that “Every Infant Should Dress as Ruth Baby Ginsburg for Halloween.” Sycamore’s costume also made appearances on the websites of “Today,” Huffington Post, The Washington Post, Elle, Cosmopolitan and MSNBC, among others.

Internet notoriety wasn’t the original

intention, though.

Livingston and Affholter really just wanted to put together a costume for Sycamore’s first Halloween that their friends and OSU’s Department of Women’s, Gender Courtesy of the Supreme Court and Sexuality Supreme Court Studies — where associate justice Ruth Livingston is a Bader Ginsburg Ph.D candidate, lecturer and former academic adviser — would get a kick out of.

And they did — along with many others on Twitter and Facebook.

“There was a moment when it first started catching on that I was petrified (Sycamore) would turn into a meme or that people would say mean things about him,” Livingston said.

“But the response has been overwhelmingly positive.”

The costume — created entirely by Livingston — was assembled with thrift-shop finds. Livingston sewed the white ruffle piece onto a baby’s black T-shirt, disinfected a wig that resembled Ginsburg’s typical hairdo, used buttons with a strip of weak double-sided tape as the earrings and completed Sycamore’s look with a pair of oversized glasses similar to the judge’s signature specs.

Livingston and Affholter said they didn’t think twice about dressing their infant son as a female figure.

“A lot of the imagination people have,

Sycamore Livingston dressed as Ruth ‘Baby’ Ginsburg like the imaginary set of costumes for boys, would be very boy, superhero, masculine-style animals, like bears, tigers, whatever else, and oversized baby costumes, like pumpkins,” Affholter — who is currently the administrative assistant for the Program for Young Children at the Columbus School for Girls — said. “We thought it was something different and cool, and a different kind of superhero, and a very important figure, while also looking hilarious.”

To Livingston and Affholter, Ginsburg — who is known for her progressive opinions on issues such as women’s reproductive rights — truly is a superhero, they both said.

However, Livingston said that some people

2010 midterm election

BEN JACKSON / For The Lantern

Redshirt-freshman linebacker Darron Lee (43) intercepts a pass from Illinois senior quarterback Reilly O’Toole during a Nov. 1 game at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 55-14.

If history were to repeat itself, many young people who are registered voters might not cast a ballot come Election Day on Tuesday, and a recent study has found that the biggest reason is because they’re too busy and have conflicting schedules.

The study, done by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University, found that 33.5 percent of voters ages 18-29 who did not vote said their schedules conflicted with their ability to vote in 2010.

Abby Kiesa, youth coordinator and researcher at Tufts University, is part of the research team looking into voters’ habits.

“We shared 2010 findings because it’s the most recent midterm election,” she said in an email. “We did that because we had found that these answers can differ whether or not it’s a midterm or presidential election.”

Ages 30+ Ages 18-29

LEE MCCLORY / Design editor

According to data from CIRCLE’s website, 20.7 percent of voters between 18 and 29 turned out to vote in Ohio during the 2010 midterm election . And during the 2012 presidential election, 50.2 percent of people in that age group voted in the Buckeye state.

“When it comes to youth voting, research suggests that it’s important to understand whether youth are contacted by campaigns, non-governmental organizations and provided with basic information about the voting process,” Kiesa said.

The second most common reason — or the reason 17.2 percent of young voters gave for not voting — was that they were not interested and/or felt that their vote would not count. Another reason, at 10.2 percent, was that they were out of town, away from home or just simply forgot.

OSU Votes, an initiate through the student service group Pay it Forward, aims to register and encourage students to vote, as well as educate them about the voting process.

The group hosts events where students can register to vote with the assistance of an OSU Votes ambassador, who helps walk them through the process.

The Ohio gubernatorial election will take place on Tuesday. Republican Gov. John Kasich is running for re-election against Democratic candidate Ed FitzGerald.

Some students said they are voting, but were not surprised with the study results.

Kelsey Maxwell, a first-year in exercise science, said she thinks students were less informed about elections.

“I would think that students don’t vote because they may not know as much about it because they have busy schedules,” she said.

While Maxwell said she will be voting come Tuesday, there are people that she knows who will not be showing up to the polls.

“I know some people don’t vote because they say they don’t have a reason to, because they don’t know a lot of information about it,” she said.

“For me, I want to stay in my own district, so I have to do absentee and it’s a hassle to get the mail and stuff in,” he said.

A pizza box stands on a table at The PAD restaurant inside the Lane Avenue Residence Hall on Nov. 2. In the background, Joshua Kuhlman, a first-year in operations management (left) and Erik Schommer, a first-year in international business wait for their order.

PAD system focuses on production and delivery ETHAN SCHECK Lantern reporter scheck.12@osu.edu It isn’t easy sending pizza all over campus.

But the PAD — which stands for Pizza and Delivery and formerly Pizza at Drake — has quietly become a more efficient restaurant because of a transition to online ordering and a review of its internal processes.

Only 15 percent of all orders now come over the phone because of the popularity and added efficiency of online orders, Ohio State Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said in an email.

“The phones have been minimal, it’s more of a help line these days,” said Pete Hackman, assistant director of Dining Services who oversees the PAD. Hackman said PAD is now down to one phone from four.

Isaacs said the cost of switching from phones to online ordering would be too difficult to determine because it was part of a larger upgrade.

The restaurant, which moved to Lane Avenue Residence Hall in 2011, used to rely on orders solely over the phone. Emma Manier, a 2013 graduate and former PAD employee, said two years ago workers had two phones to work with, which was not

sufficient. With such a large campus to service, customers were often on hold for extended periods of time.

“Considering it usually takes a minute and a half to complete an order, you were on hold at least, like, half an hour,” said Manier, who graduated with a degree in psychology. “Honestly that’s unacceptable, especially if you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.”

Today, however, Hackman said they generally start making the orders 10 minutes after the restaurant receives them and try to have them out the door for delivery within 30 minutes after that.

The PAD, which delivers for free anywhere on campus and accepts BuckID, has made it its goal to deliver pies in one hour.

“That’s kind of a mark you’re trying to hit that, it will always be there,” said Hackman on delivery time.

Austin Leach, a second-year in accounting, said the PAD has consistently met that mark for him.

“I’ve always, always gotten my order right, and if anything, they come earlier than I expected them to,” he said.

The PAD’s ordering system allows for 30 orders per hour, Isaacs said.

Four full-time staff and approximately

the next game on the schedule, not for any other reason.

“As far as our program here at Ohio State football, we’ve just been working on the next game,” he said. “And that’s it.”

But as their focus shifts toward Michigan State, the Buckeyes have room to grow despite coming off a 41-point victory.

While the starting defense pitched a shutout — the two Illinois touchdowns came with backups in the game for OSU — the Buckeye offense misfired on a few occasions on its way to a 31-0 halftime lead.

Barrett in particular missed open receivers more than once in his half of play.

While the Wichita Falls, Texas, native sat out the second half — he’s nursing a sprained MCL — he still managed to finish 15-of-24 for 167 yards and two touchdowns through the air.

Herman said he wants to see Barrett correct some of the misfires, but added his ability to fight back from adversity can be a positive going forward. “(Barrett) missed some open throws that we would have liked to have completed,” Herman said. “We will figure that part out, I don’t have any hesitation there. The fact that it happened the way that it happened can only add some confidence and some toughness to him as he heads into this week.”

But outside of Barrett’s early misses and a couple of big plays given up on defense, the overall performance from OSU was one of domination. The Buckeyes totaled 545

what the stuff is and they don’t feel that they should vote if they are uneducated on issues,” he said.

Although he said he planned to vote absentee, he thinks a busy schedule would have an effect on other students’ decision to vote.

“I’m not surprised. It’s sort of midterm time, too. (I’ve) got three midterms this week. If I had to go vote, I don’t know if I would or not,” he said.

yards on offense while allowing just 243 from the Fighting Illini, and won the turnover battle, 4-1. Sophomore punter Cameron Johnston kicked the ball away just once, while Illinois was forced to punt four times and failed on two attempted fourth-down conversions.

Sophomore safety Vonn Bell said OSU took Illinois seriously, but simply wanted to prove it was the better team by sticking to the game plan.

“That wasn’t a sleeper team, they had good athletes,” Bell said of Illinois. “So we just had to do what we had to do. We had to execute, so it showed.”

Lee said that execution, in addition to “heart,” will be important in the matchup with the Spartans.

“They’re a good team without a doubt, and they’re a tough team and they’re a wellcoached team,” he said. “But it’s just gonna come down to executing our game plan … on all phases. Special teams, offense and defense. We know what’s at stake here, and that’s about it.”

As the preparation started just moments after the win against Illinois, OSU coach Urban Meyer said the “most prepared team will win it” when his Buckeyes visit Spartan Stadium.

“That’s what’s going to win this game,” he said.

With preparation in mind, Lee had one simple plan for the Buckeyes after leaving the Ohio Stadium turf and putting the 55-14 win against Illinois in the rearview mirror.

“It’s time to work.”

Corrections will be Bidding could then start as early printed in this space. as next fall. The duration of the lease and the amount OSU might save depends on what the companies propose.

The initiative is something OSU President Michael Drake said is in line with the university’s vision for long-term sustainability.

“Among the things that are most important for us to do are to have policies that are sustainable … that we can use to help show the world how it ought to be done,” Drake said during a Thursday address to University Senate. “It’s something that I’ve been committed to for many, many years.”

Correction Submissions

Experts weigh in Donald Cohen, executive director of In The Public Interest — a Washington, D.C.-based resource center aimed at ensuring transparency for public contracts with private entities — said he’s somewhat skeptical that OSU would actually be saving money over the lifetime of the investment.

“When you use private money instead of public money, private money is quite a bit more expensive,” he said. “When you privatize water, when you privatize electricity or anything, rates go up because in fact, things cost money. It’s sort of that simple.”

Cohen said he’s skeptical that OSU would really save that much over the lifetime of the investment, rather than just doing the upgrades themselves.

“You’re making a big investment in infrastructure so you just can’t measure today,” he said. “You have to measure the whole period of time. If I didn’t have to buy my house, I could have done all sorts of things.”

Meanwhile, one lawyer said that while the idea of leasing OSU’s energy might not be all that bad, it’s important that the university remains transparent in the deal and maintains plenty of oversight.

“There’s always a downside risk to privatization that the public is going to lose its ability to effectively monitor how their money is being spent and how their services are being delivered,” said Frank LoMonte, a lawyer and the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, a legal assistance agency that works with student journalists.

“One safeguard is to make sure that the contract is clear, that the contractor is providing a public service as an extension of a public university. When you’re acting as an arm of a state agency, then under Ohio law, you still have to open your books and be transparent.”

Davey did not immediately respond to an email on Friday asking what kind or level of oversight the university might provide in the deal to ensure transparency.

While The Lantern reached out to a variety of faculty members in an attempt to gauge their response to the deal, many did not answer or declined to comment.

A similar deal The University of Oklahoma signed a 50-year contract in 2010 for energy management with Corix Utilities Inc., which will save the university an estimated $38 million to $66 million during the life of the contract.

The deal will allow the university’s leadership team to focus its time and resources on delivering OU’s academic responsibilities, said Daniel Pullin, dean of Oklahoma’s Michael F. Price College of Business.

“We benefit from the private operator’s expertise gleaned from their other installations, which allows them to use bestpractices in providing a high-quality, cost-effective service,” Pullin said in a Friday email.

Still, Pullin said there was at least one hurdle with the lease.

PAD from 2A 125 part-time student employees work at the PAD, he said.

The PAD is a “financially viable” operation, Isaacs said when asked if it were profitable.

Hackman said there were several concurrent projects taking place over the last couple of years to improve the internal systems of the pizza joint, which has a new operations manager this year, Phil Smith.

One of these projects was beginning a pilot program for Morrill Tower in 2012. Hackman and the staff saw that there was a high percentage of orders coming from the residence hall so they streamlined deliveries by sending larger vehicles with more orders at once directly to the hall’s front desk.

Isaacs said this has since expanded to Taylor, Drackett, Park-Stradley and Smith–Steeb.

Hackman said they also worked with Six Sigma groups from the Fisher College of Business to review the PAD’s internal processes, such as delivery routes. Six Sigma uses a set of techniques and tools with which they improve processes.

In addition, Hackman said there has been a lot of equipment added — including an increase to six ovens — in order to adapt the former Holiday Inn’s kitchen. Isaacs said the ovens cost $105,000. He said PAD is also considering upgrading their monitors for orders.

Monday November 3, 2014

“A primary challenge was getting comfortable that the transition of a historically in-house function would result in the service level consistency required for the university to fulfill its primary purpose of creating and disseminating knowledge to prepare leaders for the nation and world,” he said.

Job creation/loss While Steinmetz said it’s still too early to know if the lease might result in an addition or reduction in jobs, Davey said it’s also too soon to speculate whether or where OSU might see this employment shift.

“At this point, all we can do is acknowledge the possibility of some impact,” he said.

Even so, Cohen said it’s quite possible that the deal could result in job reduction or jobs being transferred to the private company, which could potentially offer less compensation and fewer benefits.

“I don’t know if that’s what they’re planning, but that’s typically what happens and that hurts us all,” he said.

However, job reduction or lost wages wasn’t the case for Oklahoma, Pullin said.

Oklahoma utilities employees were offered “substantially similar” positions with the private sector provider, he said.

“I do recall that virtually every former OU employee that was offered a role with the private operator accepted that offer,” Pullin said. “This speaks to the competitiveness of their compensation.”

Corix Utilities Inc. did not respond to a Friday phone call requesting comment on the deal, including employee compensation.

Still, LoMonte said he’s not necessarily convinced.

“I think it’s quite commonplace that contracting out services to private vendors results in fewer people delivering the service,” he said. “Whenever you’re talking about a government service, the No. 1 expense involved is salary.

And so if the privatization is really supposed to cost less, then delivering it in-house is going to mean lower personnel costs.”

Future plans for privatization This isn’t the first time, and perhaps won’t be the last time, that OSU has sought to gain capital from privatization — something to which OSU’s last president once showed hesitation about for certain areas.

The university agreed to a 50-year lease on its parking assets for the upfront price of $483 million. QIC Global Infrastructure, an Australian investment firm, placed the bid and created CampusParc to operate the parking facilities. The deal was finalized and approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2012. That deal was criticized by people — including faculty — at the time and has been criticized since for the annual price increases it permits.

OSU also holds private contracts with other companies: • Coca-Cola: a $32 million contract spanning 10 years that makes Coca-Cola the exclusive beverage vendor at OSU • Nike: $46 million over 11 years that makes Nike the exclusive supplier of any athletic equipment used

by OSU varsity athletes and gives the company licensing rights on OSU retail apparel • Huntington: 15-year, $25 million contract that makes Huntington the official consumer bank of OSU • Hat World Inc., doing business as Lids Sports Group: 10-year contract worth $12.05 million that gives the company, with J. America, the right to exclusively produce and sell university apparel • J. America: 10-year, $85 million contract that gives the company, with Lids, the right to exclusively produce and sell university apparel Steinmetz said he has no qualms about privatizing other things going forward.

“From my perspective, I don’t think anything should ever be off the table,” he said. “If there’s a way we can do it more efficiently, if there’s a way we can transfer the money that we’re overspending on something to support students in our academic mission, then that’s the academic officer in me coming out.”

Still, Steinmetz said there’s been little talk of privatizing anything else at the moment, and that current efforts, like privatizing utilities, are the university’s main focus right now.

“We’ll look at all things that are possible that may be out there — we haven’t looked at any of these in specific, like dining I’ve heard come up a couple of times — and that’s not something at this point that we’ve said, ‘Yeah, let’s go look at it,’” he said.

Even so, former OSU President E. Gordon Gee once also showed reservations about privatizing certain assets.

“Privatizing things like housing or dining … I think those are really core educational functions for the university,” Gee told The Lantern on March 25, 2013. “They would have to strap me to a log and send me down the Olentangy (River).”

Gee — who is now the president of West Virginia University — announced he was retiring from OSU days after controversial comments he made at a December 2012 OSU Athletic Council meeting came under public scrutiny.

Davey said the university will strive to be transparent during the process.

“We have had several conversations already with a variety of stakeholders including students, faculty and staff and expect these to continue throughout the process,” he said. “Differing opinions always are welcome during these discussions.”

Still, Manier said that while the PAD is a worthwhile venture, there are some inherent issues with a delivery service at a university this size.

“This campus has thousands and thousands of undergrads, and having a free delivery pizza system on campus is gonna draw a whole lot of attention,” Manier said. So a lot of issues is just the sheer volume of students.”

Hackman said many issues today are customer error, however.

“Some complaints can be attributed to errors in entry of the data which, in this case with the online (ordering) … the customer would be responsible for those errors,” Hackman said.

The most common issue on the PAD’s end is forgetting to complete orders of both hot and cold items because of employee oversight, he said.

Not everyone on campus seems pleased with the PAD’s system. A recent thread on Reddit — a social networking website where users post and submit content through links or by text posts — was made to complain about the non-delivery of food items, to which several of the highest voted comments agreed or made fun of the PAD. But Manier said people should be more aware of the way the PAD works.

“I think that there’s a lot of expectations of the PAD,“ she said. “There’s not a whole lot of understanding of what actually goes into getting a PAD pizza.”

opinion People must stop the moving SB310 a hit to industry train that is climate change Letter to the editor: Here in Ohio, I have made it my life’s work as a plant ecologist at Ohio State University to study our ecosystems, including how they respond to carbon dioxide, a major cause of climate disruption. For decades, coal and oil fired power plants, the largest sources of carbon pollution, have been allowed to dump unlimited amounts of dangerous carbon pollution into our air. This is changing everything around us, all the things we hold dear. Unless we act, we face stark consequences.

Air pollution and our destabilizing climate — seen in floods, severe drought, wildfires, record heat and superstorms — remain a top global concern. This was made clear by the more than 400,000 world citizens who showed up in New York City for the unprecedented People’s Climate March in September.

The outcry is growing, the health and ecological consequences are mounting.

Unless we act, what’s left of the natural vitality around us will be in grave peril.

Let me give you one example. My research in bioscience has shown that our country’s forests play a critical role in the world’s carbon cycle, limiting the amount of carbon pollution that goes into our air and helping to mitigate climate change. But that is true only when our forests are healthy. As dirty power plants continue to pollute, they disturb the ecological balance.

As part of President Barack Obama’s Climate Action Plan, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed standards to curb dangerous carbon pollution from existing power plants for the first time. Also in the works are much-needed safeguards

against coal ash and smog, soon to be proposed. By cleaning up and modernizing power plants, we will begin to clean up our air, cut pollution-related illness and curb the worst effects of climate disruption.

The earth’s climate is changing. As this unfolds, we must ask who is going to be harmed the most. History has taught us that it won’t be those lofted in wealth and security, though no one is immune to the changes ahead. It will be the poor, the homeless, the geographically vulnerable — for example, those near rising sea levels or coastal storms, as in Louisiana or Southeast Asia. This destabilization of climate creates a destabilization of economy, and our national security will become threatened if we do not insulate ourselves against these impacts.

Of course, I’m not just a scientist when I consider these issues. I’m also a parent.

Imagine seeing your child sitting on railroad tracks, and a moving train is approaching, ready to strike.

This is how it feels when I study our planet. I can see that the train of climate change has already left the station. Unless we intervene, unless we protect what matters most to us, all might be wiped away.

Like no other generation, we have the ability to change the trajectory of life on earth. It’s time that we protect our vital ecosystems by curbing carbon pollution.

With strong safeguards in place and carbon emissions in check, we can get our planet on the road to recovery.

Letter to the editor: In May 2008, Ohio Senate Bill 221 passed, requiring that 12.5 percent of Ohio’s energy portfolio would be from renewable energy by 2024 and that we would reduce our energy consumption by 22 percent by 2025. Additionally, at least half of the renewable energy had to be sourced from Ohio. This goal was being accomplished through annual benchmarks and requirements, increasing our renewable energy standards incrementally each year. But June 13, Gov. John Kasich signed Senate Bill 310 into law.

SB310 freezes our renewable energy and energy efficiency standards for

two years, setting us back from attaining our goal as dictated in the 2008 legislation. SB310 also provides an easier opt-out to large industrial users. Companies are required to file a report every 24 months, providing a description of their energy reductions, but there is no method of verification other than trusting the company’s word, and all submitted information is confidential, according to Green Energy Ohio News Magazine.

The bill also expands the definition of renewable energy and energy efficiency, including but not limited to the fact that “renewable energy resources do not have to be converted to electricity in order to be eligible to receive renewable energy credits.”

SB310 has significant economic impacts as well.

According to the Environmental Defense Fund, SB221 has created 25,000 jobs in the renewable energy industry and saved Ohio ratepayers $1 billion since 2008. In the wake of SB310, the solar industry has slowed dramatically and solar renewable energy credits in Ohio tanked to $20-$30 from $60-$70, according to Midwest Energy News. SB310 will result in the loss of thousands of Ohioans’ jobs and a severe hit to the market and an industry in which we desperately need to advance.

Proposed EPA Clean Power Plan has great benefits Letter to the editor: With headline-grabbing issues such as Ebola in the news recently, it is easy to overlook the looming concerns of climate change. In 2013, Columbus experienced a harsh winter, with storm-related damages totaling up to $124.4 million and about $833

4A

million in the Midwest region. Now, the 2014 winter is forecasted to be colder than normal, and climate change might be to blame.

These extreme weather events have been linked with carbon pollution. Companies must currently follow limits on emitting chemicals such as arsenic, lead and mercury.

There are no limits, however, on carbon emissions. This is puzzling, as carbon

pollution can lead to severe weather, health problems such as asthma and decreased agricultural yields that can cause higher food costs.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is attempting to solve these problems with the Clean Power Plan. The Clean Power Plan, if successful, would cut carbon pollution from power plants by 30 percent

from 2005 levels. The benefits, while great, could be even more significant with higher standards. If you would like to see even more positive change, support the higher standards.

5 takeaways from 55-14 win JAMES GREGA, JR. AND TIM MOODY Asst. sports editor and Sports editor grega.9@osu.edu and moody.178@osu.edu With temperatures dipping close to 30 degrees, it was cold and it was windy, but the elements didn’t seem to affect the Ohio State offense Saturday night as it rolled to a 55-14 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini.

The Buckeyes’ defense also continued to improve, holding Illinois scoreless for more than half the game.

The Lantern sports editors also survived the cold elements and have come up with a list of five things they learned from the game.

BEN JACKSON / For The Lantern

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones (12) hurdles an Illinois defender during a game Nov. 1 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 55-14, as Jones played the entire second half in place of redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett, who was nursing a sprained MCL.

QB duo sparks OSU offense JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu If the Ohio State offense was looking past the Illinois Fighting Illini, and toward next week’s matchup with No. 7 Michigan State, it didn’t show.

The Buckeye offense bounced back from a subpar performance against Penn State as it routed the Fighting Illini, 55-14, Saturday night in Ohio Stadium.

Leading the way for the Buckeyes was a two-headed monster at quarterback as redshirt-freshman J.T. Barrett and redshirt-sophomore Cardale Jones combined for 334 of OSU’s 545 total offensive yards.

Following the game, coach Urban Meyer said he was ultimately happy with how both quarterbacks played.

“J.T. missed a couple of wide open guys early in that game. But I was really impressed by the way he came back and he made some very good plays in the second quarter,” Meyer said. “And Cardale, I think that was the first time we let him play. And he was in there with some really young linemen and still moved the ball. So I thought did he very well.”

Barrett, who entered the game nursing a sprained MCL suffered against Penn State, said after the game that the injury didn’t affect the way he played against Illinois, despite missing multiple open throws.

“The knee didn’t really give me any problems throughout the game,” he said. “That’s all on me. The receivers did

Field hockey finishes with tourney berth AJ KING Lantern reporter lewis-king.1@osu.edu A late goal from Ainsley McCallister with 1:33 left on the clock boosted No. 14 Michigan to a 2-1 victory against Ohio State field hockey on senior day at Buckeye Varsity Field.

The redshirt-senior midfielder from Ann Arbor, Mich., struck on a penalty corner for her fifth goal of the season to stun OSU (6-11, 1-7) late in the game Sunday.

“Michigan was able to execute their (penalty) corners,” OSU coach Anne Wilkinson said after the game. “They were able to sniff out where our weakness was and they capitalized on it.”

Despite the loss, OSU’s season is set to continue in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Buckeyes and Wolverines played to a stalemate early in the contest as neither team could muster much offense in the first half with the teams combining for just one shot on goal.

Senior midfielder Kaitlyn Wagner credited the team’s ability to stay in tune with each other on defense as key to stopping Michigan’s attack early.

“We were just constantly communicating,” Wagner said. “Even if you thought someone was gonna back door your teammate, (we) straight up told them where everyone was at.”

In the second half, Michigan (12-6, 6-2) came out with more aggression and effort toward getting the ball to the net.

A little more than five minutes into the second frame, the Wolverines were able to force a penalty corner against the stout OSU defense. McCallister took the penalty corner and set up redshirtsenior back Leslie Smith for an errant shot, but a scramble ensued in front of the net.

McCallister snuck into the scrum and tip the ball into the back of the net to give Michigan the first goal of the game.

a great job of getting open, I just have to do a better job of getting the ball to them.”

Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said following the game that while Barrett’s missed passes are a concern, he isn’t worried about the redshirt-freshman ironing out the mistakes.

“He missed some open throws that we would have liked to have competed,” Herman said. “We will figure that part out, I don’t have any hesitation there. He is one of, if not the most accurate quarterback I have ever coached.”

Barrett finished the day 15-24 passing for 167 yards and two scores, both to senior wide receiver Devin Smith.

Smith’s two touchdowns on the night put him in a tie with former Buckeye wide receiver Santonio Holmes for third all-time on OSU’s career touchdown receptions list with 25.

Smith attributed his relationship with Barrett on the field to his big game.

“I have confidence in him and he has confidence in me,” Smith said after the game. “When you got that connection with QB and receiver, it’s night and day.”

Jones came in to start the second half with OSU up 31-0 and picked up where Barrett left off, throwing for two scores of his own, the first a 27-yard touchdown toss to sophomore H-back Dontre Wilson.

Barrett said after the game that he was not surprised Jones was able to come in and execute on offense in his absence.

“You really don’t know what you are going to get (with Jones),” Barrett said. “He is hurdling people, he is dropping dimes

1. J.T. Barrett has room to improve Against a less than impressive defense, Barrett looked just average against Illinois Saturday night.

While the redshirtfreshman completed 15-24 passes for 167 yards and two scores in just a half of football, he also missed multiple wide open throws that could have gone for big plays.

Barrett struggled mightBEN JACKSON / For The Lantern ily against Penn Redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett State last week, and looked just OK in a game where most expected him to get quality minutes and improve.

Heading into the biggest game of the year against No. 7 Michigan State on Saturday at 8 p.m. in East Lansing, Mich., the Buckeyes are going to need Barrett to play his best game to have a chance to win.

If not, the team goal of playing for championships in November could very quickly come to an end.

2. The “Silver Bullet” defense is taking shape I know, it was against Illinois. And I know the Fighting Illini played their second- and third-string quarterbacks, but you have to admit, the Buckeye defense has improved.

Last year, the Buckeyes gave up 35 to Illinois in a game that was closer than the final score would indicate.

Saturday, the OSU defense surrendered just 243 offensive yards to Illinois, as opposed to the 420 it gave up last season.

Sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa is dominating every offensive lineman that gets in his way, while young linebackers like redshirt-freshman Darron Lee and freshman Raekwon McMillan are developing quickly.

But will it be enough to slow down a MSU offense averaging 45.5 points per game? Only time will tell.

Defense stands out vs. Illinois GRANT MILLER Copy chief miller.5617@osu.edu When a football team finds itself trying not to look past its current opponent and onto a more important date in the future, it usually doesn’t come during a prime-time home game with an 89-year-old trophy at stake.

But that’s exactly what the No. 13 Ohio State Buckeyes had before them on Saturday evening, as the Big Ten cellar-dwelling Illinois Fighting Illini came to Columbus. Even with the prospect of a showdown with No. 7 Michigan State coming the following week, coach Urban Meyer’s team collected its focus to execute a dominant 55-14 victory.

“I think we have a good bunch of players that care about each other and get ready for a big week,” Meyer said after the game. “I thought our defense came out and played well.”

As has been the case so many times this season, his defensive unit has held its opponent to a small output as redshirtfreshman quarterback J.T. Barrett and the Buckeye offense lit up the scoreboard. Meyer’s singling out of the defense was telling, however. The group that struggled mightily toward the end of last season produced another steady performance on Saturday.

The Buckeyes held their opponents to less than 250 total yards for the second consecutive week, and set the tone for the game by forcing three Fighting Illini turnovers in the first half.

It began on the visitors’ first drive. With a first-and-10 at the OSU 39-yard line, Illinois senior quarterback Reilly O’Toole put a pass right onto the fingertips of his senior tight end Matt LaCosse. LaCosse couldn’t corral it, however, and the ball instead fell into the arms of redshirt-freshman linebacker Darron Lee. The pick was Lee’s second of the season, and he credited the mentality of the coaching staff for the interception.

“What our coaches push us to do is not only execute, but execute and try to make a play. We try to force turnovers literally every play and every call that we get,” Lee said. “Even if it’s a simple run play that they’re running, we’re trying to knock the ball out.

“That’s our mindset now, now that everybody’s starting to get really comfortable with what they’re doing. Now it’s time to go make plays when that comes to you and it’s our job to make those plays.”

That mindset was evident on Illinois’ last drive of the first quarter.

Redshirt-junior running back Josh Ferguson looked like he had burst through a hole in the OSU defense for a solid gain. But just as Lee was dragging him to the ground, redshirt-sophomore safety Tyvis Powell arrived on the scene and dislodged ball from Ferguson’s grasp, allowing junior defensive lineman Adolphus Washington to recover the fumble.

Powell also had five total tackles, including one tackle for

OSU won, 55-14. loss, to go along with his impact play. Sophomore Vonn Bell started at the other safety position, and he said the combination between him and Powell is built on familiarity.

“It is trust. It’s like a brotherhood, that’s like my brother across the field,” Bell said. “We can’t let each other down. That’s at all costs.”

Up front, the Buckeyes rode another standout performance by sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa, who had a teamleading two sacks. But it wasn’t just Bosa who was giving the Illini something to think about. Senior defensive lineman Steve Miller, who has kept his starting spot since sophomore Noah

sports Men’s hockey breaks winless streak in Buffalo matthew mcgreevy Lantern reporter mcgreevy.21@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s hockey team gained an extra hour for celebration on its ride back from Buffalo, N.Y., following a Saturday-night win. After tying Canisius College, 3-3, on Friday, the Buckeyes broke their four-game winless streak with a 4-1 victory the following night.

“We just seemed to have a little better jump in our step,” OSU coach Steve Rohlik said Saturday. “To get the first goal certainly was a real positive.”

Production from the forward line of seniors Nick Oddo, Chad Niddery and freshman Kevin Miller propelled the Buckeyes (2-3-1), combining for two of the team’s goals on Saturday while Niddery and Oddo teamed up with sophomore defenseman Josh Healey on a third.

“It was good to see them have some success,” Rohlik said. “All four lines need to be effective for us to be successful and tonight was just their opportunity.”

Scoring opened late in the first period of Saturday’s game when Oddo picked up his first goal of the season.

OSU made it 2-0 at the 6:14 mark of the second frame when senior forward Darik Angeli also scored his first of the year.

The Buckeyes continued to build their lead early in the third period with two goals separated by 29 seconds.

Canisius (4-3-1) broke OSU sophomore goalie Matt Tomkins’ shutout with a shorthanded goal at the 15:34 mark of the third period. Tomkins finished the night with 20 saves.

While the Golden Griffins’ tally did not stage a comeback, it exploited OSU’s key weakness of the weekend: its power play.

The Buckeyes went 0-3 on the power play on Saturday and 0-9 during the weekend. OSU’s penalty kill went 8-8 during the series.

Friday’s game had a different flow than Saturday’s as the Buckeyes fell behind 2-0 less than two minutes into the game.

The lackluster start prompted Rohlik to replace sophomore goalie Christian Frey with Tomkins, who finished the game with 26 saves.

“Frey didn’t have the start he wanted,” Rohlik said. “I didn’t think our team had the start (we wanted).”

Senior forward Matt Johnson, freshman forward Luke Stork and sophomore forward David Gust scored for OSU to finish the night in a 3-3 tie.

Stork’s goal was his second of the season, but Friday’s game marked the end of his series as an upper-body injury kept him out of Saturday’s lineup, Rohlik said.

Women’s volleyball drops 2nd straight to Penn State chris slack Lantern reporter slack.77@osu.edu After being swept by No. 6 Penn State earlier in the week, the No. 17 Ohio State women’s volleyball team experienced the same outcome Friday.

With the Nittany Lions’ (22-3, 10-2) sweep, the Buckeyes (16-8, 7-5) suffered their first home defeat of the season after winning their first seven games at St. John Arena. It was also the first back-to-back sweep against the Buckeyes this season.

The Buckeyes had trouble with attacking, shots blocked and total errors for the second straight game against Penn State.

Freshman outside hitter Luisa Schirmer said the team spoke after the game about the errors and problems they had against the Nittany Lions.

“We talked about what they did well, we’re going to take those things, work on them and it helps us because we now know what we have to work on,” Schirmer said. “Playing teams

like Penn State only makes us better for the long run, especially when we get to the NCAA tournament.”

The only player to tally double-digit kills for the match was Nittany Lion freshman outside hitter Ali Frantti, who had 14. Senior setter Micha Hancock led all players in assists with 32, while Buckeye senior setter Taylor Sherwin had 27.

Nittany Lion senior libero Dominique Gonzalez led all players in digs with 15, while Buckeye sophomore libero Valeria León had 10.

In the first set, the Buckeyes posted an overall hitting percentage of -.11.

It was the team’s lowest single-set attacking percentage so far this season.

With the back-to-back losses, the Buckeyes have lost 14 of their past 16 matches against Penn State and coach Geoff Carlston is 0-14 against the Nittany Lions.

After the game, Carlston complimented the Nittany Lions by saying they stand out against all the teams the Buckeyes have played this season.

“Penn State is playing at a higher level than anyone in the conference right now,” Carlston said. “I don’t see them losing the rest of the way.

In our two matches they played really, really well.”

He added that while the Buckeyes are sixth in the Big Ten standings, the team cannot let the losses to Penn State affect its play for the rest of season.

“The reality is, it’s two matches, it doesn’t take away from what we’ve done or where we are,” he said. “But we needed to keep climbing.

We need to get better … I thought (the matches would be closer). Obviously Penn State played at a very high level, and we didn’t play our best volleyball.”

Freshman defensive specialist Luna Tsujimoto said there were some positives to the two matches against the Nittany Lions that can be carried over into the team’s upcoming games.

“Our serving got much better. I think we’re much more aggressive on serving,” Tsujimoto said. “I think our hitting is a lot more aggressive, too.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to play backto-back matches at St. John Arena against Maryland (9-14, 2-10) on Friday and Rutgers (7-18, 0-12) on Saturday for the first time since those teams joined the Big Ten.

sports out there to Dontre against man coverage. Cardale is a great player and he is just getting better.”

A slight surprise for the Buckeye offense was freshman running back Curtis Samuel getting the start over sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott, who had started the first seven games of the year for OSU. Meyer said it was ultimately OSU running backs coach Stan Drayton’s decision of to give Samuel his first career start.

“Stan Drayton came to me in the middle of the week and said ‘I’d like to start Curtis Samuel this week, he’s doing everything right, and practices at an extremely high level,’” Meyer said. “And we still have great confidence in Zeke but we have two guys that can play.”

Herman attributed some of Samuel’s development and rise to the starting lineup to Drayton’s coaching.

5 takeaways from 5A 3. Freshman running back Curtis Samuel is earning more carries Samuel not only made his first start Saturday, he showed that he might even be better than sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott.

After a great weak of practice, according to multiple coaches, Samuel earned the start and worked his way into the end zone twice in the first half against Illinois.

While Samuel might have earned the start, there is no question the Buckeyes will need both him and Elliott in order to take down the Spartans next week.

With Rod Smith gone after reportedly being dismissed from the team, and redshirt-sophomore Bri’onte Dunn still nursing injury, the two backs will likely earn close to equal carries moving forward this season.

4. This team didn’t look past Illinois, but now it can Based off of their 31-0 halftime lead, the Buckeyes didn’t have any issue focusing on the Fighting Illini.

Even though the team didn’t necessarily run like a well-oiled machine throughout the game, the performance was not one of a team looking ahead to

“Coach Drayton does a hell of a job developing him and coaching him, but I think it was pretty apparent early in the spring that … we might have a real tailback here,” Herman said.

“That certainly added to where we are at right now.”

The Buckeyes are now faced with their biggest test of the season as they are scheduled to take on the No. 7 Spartans, the team that defeated OSU in the 2013 Big Ten Championship game and ended a 24-game winning streak.

Meyer said following the win over Illinois that one factor will ultimately decide who comes out on top in East Lansing, Mich.

“It’s all about the most prepared team. That’s what’s going to win this game,” he said. “This is a motivated team. And I think the most prepared team will win it.”

The Buckeyes and Spartans are scheduled to face off Saturday.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

the Spartans. From Samuel’s 23-yard touchdown on the first drive of the game to redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones’ play in the second half, OSU seemed motivated from start to finish.

If that kind of motivation and momentum can carry over, the Buckeyes should have a legitimate shot at beating Michigan State this weekend.

5. Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman isn’t afraid to mix things up Not only did Herman allow Jones to sling the ball in the second half instead of simply trying to kill the clock, but he even let redshirt-freshman H-back Jalin Marshall test his arm strength.

While Marshall didn’t complete his lone attempt, it gave the Spartans and any other future opponents for OSU an additional thing to think about. Marshall was a quarterback in high school — and even had a chance to play the position in college had he not picked OSU — and now teams have to think twice about what he might do if he ever lines up in the wildcat going forward.

The chance to throw was clearly being set up for a few weeks, and now that it’s out in the open, Marshall is just that much more dangerous when he steps on the field.

Defense from 5A Spence reportedly failed a second drug test before the game against Kent State earlier in the season, chalked up his third-straight four-tackle game and forced a second-half fumble. For the veteran Miller, he knows the part he has to play, and he said he gives his maximum effort in order to help him teammates succeed.

“I knew it was gonna be a big part for me when Noah went down. So I had to just step up real big because Noah played a big role last year and I know I had to fill his shoes,” Miller said. “The whole thing is, I just don’t want to let my brothers down, so I’m just trying to get better every week and just be consistent.”

Just like he did against Penn State the week before, junior linebacker Joshua Perry led all OSU defenders in tackles with seven overall. There was also significant playing time given to players like freshman defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes and junior linebacker Cam Williams, both of whom recorded four total tackles.

The depth the Buckeyes are beginning to show is something senior linebacker Curtis Grant — the other defender to intercept an Illinois pass — said helps to keep the entire unit at a high level.

through, it keeps us fresh and keeps your body from being banged up so bad,” Grant said.

Despite such a successful night, Bell said that immediately after the game, the team’s focus turned to next weekend’s duel with the Spartans, who boast the No. 5 scoring offense in the nation.

“During this game, it started getting out of hand so we started thinking about it then. (Meyer) said something at the end of the game today,” Bell said. “This week is a big week for preparation so we’ll get it going.”

Both the Buckeyes and Spartans sit atop the Big Ten East Division with identical records of 7-1 overall and 4-0 in conference. The date many college football fans had circled on their calendar from the start of the season is almost here, and Bell said the Buckeyes will enter it with tremendous confidence.

“Everybody’s got each other’s back, we’re holding each other accountable,” Bell said.

“We’re on a mission.”

The Buckeyes and Spartans are set to face off on Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

OSU’s seniors away with a loss in their final home game.

Senior back Carly Mackessy said win or lose, she was happy to give her all against OSU’s biggest rival.

“I had a lot of supporters today and today I really just wanted to go out and play for them,” Mackessy said. “Whether we would have won or lost wouldn’t have advanced us, but it was more about the heart and how we were gonna go out against tradition and beat Michigan.”

The Buckeyes advanced to the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 8 seed because of a head-to-head tiebreaker with Indiana (9-8, 1-7).

Wagner said she was excited to be able to continue her career at OSU for at least one more game and reflected on her time as four-year starter in Columbus.

“It felt great just to say, ‘Hey, I was on that field for four years,’” Wagner said. “The amount of playing time, the amount of minutes, the amount of teams I’ve played, the amount of people I’ve played with, is awesome.”

Wilkinson said it was great to see her seniors able to control themselves in such an emotional game and give everything one last time for their fans.

“I didn’t think they got too caught up in it even though I know inside they were,” Wilkinson said. “I think it was great to see them show up and compete and stay focused.”

The Buckeyes are set to face No. 1 seed Maryland in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday in Ann Arbor, Mich., at 10 a.m.

New food truck doesn’t forgive Boss Doggs’ closure

francis pellicciaro Lantern reporter pellicciaro.1@osu.edu Imagine that you’re strolling out of class on a cool, sunny autumn day.

You’re hungry.

You’re hungry as all hell because the class was long and your breakfast was small.

Sure enough, you walk right into a warm smell and it draws you in.

You can tell without thinking that you’re going to eat whatever makes that smell.

The smell comes from the greatest hot dog cart in Ohio by far — and arguably the greatest hot dog cart on the west side of the Delaware River.

That great hot dog cart was called Boss Doggs, and it no longer exists.

Boss Doggs offered steaming lunches for $3, $4 or $5, depending on the type of sausage and toppings, and sat on the west side of University Hall.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of students passed it as they walked around campus, and faithful customers stood by as lines stretched into crowds of dozens of people.

The service was fast, and the food was filling.

Change has been just as fast, as the powers that be replaced the hot dog stand in the name of filling whatever trend they perceived.

Boss Doggs has been replaced by the food truck Thyme and Change, and, for me, the most effective way to see if it was a good replacement was to try some of its food.

The food was excellent and, for that, Thyme and Change is a worthy stand-in, but otherwise, there was no compelling reason for Thyme and Change to replace Boss Doggs.

Thyme and Change serves domestic and international street food on a menu that changes at least four times per week, and I tried it on the day it served Southern soul food.

My chicken and waffles with a piece of bacon was ordered together with sweet potato tots, and there was seasoned butter and syrup on the side.

It was hog heaven to eat, the sweetness of the waffles and the salt of the fried chicken multiplying and complementing each other deliciously. If not for inevitable fat buildup, this is the kind of thing you could eat once a day for the rest of your life and never grow tired of it. The meal was rich and sweet and just a bit greasy.

I paid $8 for the whole meal — the chicken and waffles were $6 and the sweet potato tots were $2.

Even if I had only gotten the chicken and waffles, this is more than a single meal ever cost at Boss Doggs.

Now, this is acceptable for Thyme and Change, seeing that it sells meals that are somewhat more complicated than those sold by Boss Doggs. But it is notable that Thyme and Change cost Dining Services nearly $100,000.

Boss Doggs made roughly $2,000 on an average day before it closed down, said Lesa Holford, corporate executive chef with Dining Services.

At this point in time, it is a given that the people who run different portions of Ohio State will always find a way to spend big chunks of money on new things.

A new chunk of money spent does not need to be a replacement fee, though.

The addition of a food truck is excellent, but the subtraction of a hot dog stand was unnecessary.

Bill Maher: America finally changing jac cepeda Lantern reporter cepeda.12@osu.edu For the last 11 years, Bill Maher has hosted the controversial and unflinching political comedy series, HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Having been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Series every year from 2005 through 2014, the show attracts an amalgam of guests including poets, authors, members of Congress, generals and movie directors.

Just this past February, Michelle Alexander, an associate professor at the Moritz College of Law at Ohio State, appeared on “Real Time” and spoke about her book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.”

Amid Maher’s preparation for this week’s episode and his stand-up appearance at the Palace Theatre on Sunday in Columbus, The Lantern spoke to him about a variety of issues, including Tuesday’s midterm elections, legalizing marijuana nationwide and the evolution — or lack thereof — of democracy in our modern society.

The Lantern: Why is the midterm election this week so important to participate in, and why should Ohio State students be planning to go to the polls?

Bill Maher: If they are progressive in any way, they probably are aware of the fact that (President Barack) Obama can only do so much without the help of Congress.

Now the Republicans have been up his a-lately about using executive actions. The latest one he threatened to do was to close Guantanamo Bay unilaterally. But up until now, he’s not been able to close Guantanamo Bay. That’s a great example of something he wanted to do — it’s the right thing to do — but Congress blocked it. I could name 10 other important issues.

Infrastructure — there’s a no-brainer — Courtesy of HBO money has never been cheaper to borrow.

Comedian Bill Maher, host of HBO’s ‘Real Time with Bill Maher,’ is set to perform at the Palace Theatre on Nov. 9.

] Ohio State group gets students in tune with careers in music industry hannah herner Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu It’s unclear exactly when it started (five or more years ago?), and there is debate about how to pronounce the name, (mee-sah?, my-sah?) but the members of MEISA know they are passionate about music and careers in the entertainment.

Members of Ohio State’s Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association range from those who see music as a fun hobby to people who want it to be a part of their career path. Roughly 25 people attend MEISA’s weekly meetings in room 222 of Enarson Classroom, where members listen to music, discuss recent concert they’ve attended, play trivia and plan events.

Two of those events include MEISA’s upcoming concerts. MEISA is set to support a concert featuring Canadian alternative rock band Stuck on Planet Earth on Nov. 12 at Donatos at 2084 N. High St., with Columbus bands Betsy Ross, Astral Junkies and Fisher supporting.

Two days later, MEISA is slated to put on a show in a make-shift concert venue, located at 186 E. Hudson St., featuring local alternative band They’re coming they’re coming along with The Candescents and The Vessels.

Not surprisingly, given the common genre between the

Meetings for student group MEISA are held in room 222 in the Enarson Classroom Building each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. upcoming concerts, Eric Spurlino, a second-year in economics and the event coordinator for MEISA, describes the musical taste of the group as homogeneous, but open.

“A lot of this club is alternative music, because that’s just what people happen to be interested in, but we do everything,” Spurlino said.

MEISA isn’t only an association for listening to music and planning concerts, though. It also serves as a networking opportunity for members. People with jobs as bookers, programmers and music professors, as well as representatives from Promowest Productions, CD 102.5, Substream Magazine,

Prime Social Group and more often make appearances at meetings.

Caleb Mihalik and Emily Gutierrez, both fourth-years in marketing, landed internships at Promowest Productions through MEISA. “I wouldn’t have been able to find out about a lot of those opportunities that exist without MEISA,” Gutierrez said.

The association also connects with bigger names in the industry, including Sony Music, Warner Music Group and Universal Music.

At MEISA’s meeting last Wednesday, Mihalik — MEISA’s vice president and a college representative for Warner Music Group — manned a table covered with music-related

stickers, pins and posters that members can take for free.

“Our biggest thing is trying to get people to listen to music that they haven’t heard before, because maybe they’ll become a fan of it,” Mihalik said.

Gutierrez said she enjoys the camaraderie of the group.

“You can come here and just be a total geek about music and not get judged,” she said.

People interested in MEISA can attend one of their weekly Wednesday meetings at 7:30 p.m. Dues are $10 a semester, or $15 for the year.

MEISA’s concerts on Nov. 12 and 14 are set to begin at 8 p.m.

Baby Ruth from 1A on the Internet were inquisitive to the reason she and Affholter would dress their baby in a costume that carried political connotations.

“People aren’t really seeing that all costumes that parents are dressing their kids have a political element. It’s not just political figures that have a political dimension,” Livingston said.

“When parents are dressing their baby boys as superheroes, I would say, (it) communicates ideas about boys and masculinity and about strength and power, but you don’t hear people on Twitter chastising parents for dressing their kids up in superhero costumes.

“I don’t really see it as a huge deal — or something that is unique — that we dressed our baby as a woman political figure,” she added.

Despite those criticisms, Livingston called Sycamore’s moments of Internet fame “a really great experience,” one she said her and Affholter plan to document with computer screenshots of all of Sycamore’s web appearances.

Livingston is currently on maternity leave but is set to return to teaching at OSU for Spring Semester. Her class — an intro course in the women’s, gender and sexuality major, called “Gender, Sex and Power” — will frequently touch on pop culture topics.

“I think it will be interesting to talk about my own kid, who became a pop culture phenomenon,” she said. “We’ll definitely talk about that in class.”

As for Sycamore’s first Halloween, Livingston said he slept through all of trick-or-treating, leaving his costume debut for another year. A sequel to Ruth “Baby” Ginsburg, though, might be a tough act to follow.

“I don’t think I could repeat what we did, honestly,” Livingston admitted.

“So (Sycamore) might be a one-hit wonder.”
