Few details have been released about a Charlie Bear: Land of Dance incident a day after a person was pronounced dead following a reported officer-involved shooting. The shooting happened at about 2 a.m. Monday and the person was pronounced dead at 2:12 a.m., a Columbus Division of Police dispatcher said Monday. The dispatcher could not confirm or deny whether the officer involved “killed the suspect.” As of 3 a.m. Monday, no officers had been reported injured. The officer involved in the shooting was a special duty officer, the dispatcher said. A Columbus Police representative was not available for comment Monday. Charlie Bear, a dance club, is located at 2885 Olentangy River Road. The club announced it was moving from its previous South Campus Gateway location at 1562 N. High St. in late October. Some said safety was one concern that led to Charlie Bear vacating the Gateway area. “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

St. John Arena is located at 410 Woody Hayes Drive and hosts sports including men’s and women’s volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics. OSU officials said it is ‘undetermined’ what will happen to the arena once a new facility is built. MADELYN GRANT Lantern reporter grant.382@osu.edu More than one year after the announcement of a $10 million donation to build a new Ohio State athletic facility, there are still no plans in place for what will come of long-standing St. John Arena. OSU athletics spokesman Dan Wallenberg said in an email St. John’s use when the new arena is built in tentatively 2015 is still “undetermined.” “The university will develop the space,” Wallenberg said. “We don’t have information on how that space will be used.” Covelli Arena is set to house the sports
currently played at St. John when its built, including volleyball, gymnastics and wrestling, Wallenberg said. Covelli Enterprises owner and CEO Sam Covelli donated $10 million to the OSU athletics department in November 2012 to aid in the construction of a 4,000-seat, multi-sport arena. Wallenberg said Covelli Arena is set to be built on the corner of Ackerman Road and Fred Taylor Drive. St. John Arena is located at 410 Woody Hayes Drive, about a mile away. OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said future plans for St. John have not yet been finalized. “The university in conjunction with athletics has not determined the timeline nor the future

Cleaning up litter, repairing fences, replacing damaged grass and washing mud away might be the norm after the annual Mirror Lake jump, but draining the lake hasn’t typically been a part of the process. This year, however, Ohio State is hiring a firm to study the area and decided to empty the lake to assist with cleanup and clear the area. The firm originally selected by OSU, which was founded by former OSU football player and assistant vice president for business advancement Eddie George, backed out of its contract to “avoid even the appearance of impropriety,” OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning Lindsay Komlanc said in an email Monday. Komlanc said the lake was drained in the meantime while OSU finds a new firm because of the need for cleanup. “Given (the) significant need for our landscape crews to be working in the area, the university determined this was also the time to take steps to minimize water loss associated with the lake,” Komlanc said. “As announced in November, the university is studying enhancements to the sustainability, beauty and safety of Mirror Lake, including water usage and maintenance needs. While the completion of the study will be the first step in

Nike has exercised a contract option to extend its three-part agreement with Ohio State until 2018, positioning OSU to bring in about an additional $18.5 million. OSU and Nike signed three separate seven-year contracts that went into effect Aug. 1, 2007. All three will be extended until July 31, 2018, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said. The agreement sets OSU to gross almost $46 million over 11 years, with more than $18.4 million coming from the additional four years. The three parts of the agreement are broken up into a standard license agreement, an equipment supply agreement and an appearance and consultation agreement. Standard License Agreement Over the original seven-year period, Nike is contracted to pay OSU a minimum of $1.4 million for the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute all OSU competition apparel and now an additional $1.2 million with the extension period. Nike must pay OSU 12.5 percent

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design of net sales on all OSU-branded Nike products at an annual minimum of $200,000 for the first seven years and $300,000 for the extended four years. Equipment Supply Agreement The extended equipment supply agreement between OSU and Nike, the most lucrative portion of the deal for OSU, sets the university up to gain
more than $17 million in addition to the original more than $25.7 million over the first seven years. Of the additional equipment supply, about $10.5 million is in equipment Nike supplies to OSU’s 36 varsity teams and more than 900 student-athletes. The agreement makes Nike “the official supplier of the athletic footwear and authentic apparel products” of
these teams. This means OSU team members, coaches and staff must exclusively wear and use Nike product for all practices, games, exhibitions, clinics and any university or teamorganized activities.
Appearance and consultation agreement Under the appearance and consultation agreement, Nike is also contracted to pay OSU $28,000 annually for coach appearances and $22,000 for coaches’ and staff’s “design and marketing consultation,” the appearance and consultation agreement states. The head coaches of OSU’s football, men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s soccer teams are required to each make four public appearances annually. The purpose of these appearances, the contract says, is to “promote sports participation and the values associated with such participation.” All other coaches are required to be made available for one annual appearance.

campus FCC chairman emphasizes communication tech access
Kristine Varkony Senior Lantern reporter varkony.1@osu.edu
The new leader of U.S. communication regulations, including radio, TV and satellite, emphasized the importance of access to technology during his first official address, which took place at Ohio State Monday. Newly appointed Federal Communications Commissioner chairman and OSU alumnus Tom Wheeler returned to the university to give his first address as the head of the organization stressing the important roll the FCC plays in what he called “the fourth great network revolution.” “(The fourth great network revolution) has the potential to be the most important of the four revolutions,” he said in an interview with The Lantern. The three prior communication revolutions he referred to included Gutenberg’s printing press, the railroad and the telegraph, respectively. Wheeler, a 1968 Fisher College of Business graduate, who was approved unanimously by the Senate almost a month ago after being appointed by President Barack Obama, chose to give his speech in Columbus because he thought it would resonate his point that communication technology is something every American should have access to in the 21st century. “Your FCC believes its mission is as integral to the prosperity of the Ohio Valley as Silicon Valley,” he said. “It’s a message to young people that the new world of networks can be — must be — innovative and dynamic and competitive and serve consumer expectations. And that when these forces converge, opportunities abound.” According to his biography on the FCC website, Wheeler is the only person in history to be selected to both the Cable Television Hall of Fame and the Wireless Hall of Fame and has extensive experience, including serving as president and CEO of the National Cable Television Association. Chris Wrobel, a second-year in chemical engineering, said he was glad OSU hosted the speech.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler gives a policy address at The Ohio Union Dec. 2. Wheeler is an OSU alumnus. “It was a really cool opportunity for someone with that kind of stature, someone who has risen to such a high level, (to) come to the university and be able to talk to everybody,” he said. Jeff Grabmeier, the senior director for research and innovation communications at OSU, said Wheeler’s appointment to the chairman position was a great thing for OSU. “Ohio State is proud of all of our graduates here, and to have someone like Chairman Wheeler, who has made such a difference in the world, can only help Ohio State,” he said.

Handivans increase campus accessibility Kathleen Martini Lantern reporter martini.35@osu.edu When Derek Upp transferred to Ohio State, he experienced the changes every transfer student faces: new classes, new policies, new people. But he had the additional challenge of finding a new way to get around campus. Upp, a second-year in sport industry, is a quadriplegic, a person who is permanently unable to move or feel both arms and both legs. Upp was responsible for his transportation to and from class at his previous school, Ohio University–Lancaster. “Ohio University-Lancaster is a commuter campus,” Upp said. “They don’t have dorms or anything. You drive yourself.” For students like Upp, the OSU Campus Area Bus Service provides paratransit services, including Handivan buses that pick up students up from their residence halls and off-campus homes and take them anywhere in the defined university area, stretching from North Broadway Street to Goodale Boulevard. The service is also available for faculty and staff, according to its website. The Office of Student Life Disability Services reviews and accepts students with permanent or temporary disabilities to use the service, said Enjie Hall, a counselor at ODS, in an email. “For eligible students, we complete the registration form and send it to the Handivan office,” Hall said. OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning Lindsay Komlanc said Transportation and Traffic Management coordinates the Paratransit services. “TTM coordinates the assigning and training of van drivers, vehicle maintenance, daily schedules, approves off-campus trips, operates the Paratransit Dispatch telephone line, certifies and establishes system policies,” Komlanc said in an email. Students participating give Paratransit their class schedules to plan pickup times, but they can call CABS to schedule
Mirror Lake from 1A understanding what is necessary to enhance the sustainability, aesthetic nature and safety of Mirror Lake, immediate water loss concerns have been addressed by pumping the water from the lake. This work was done in conjunction with the significant maintenance and cleanup after the annual ‘jump.’” She added OSU felt the timing was “the best possible as we enter the colder weather, and now that we have officially reopened the South Oval.” Jumping in Mirror Lake before the OSU football game against the University of Michigan is an OSU tradition. It took place Nov. 26 this year, but after OSU officials announced students would be required to wear wristbands and pass through fences for admittance, some students took to the lake a night early to show their disapproval of the regulations. About 10,000 to 12,000 people participated Nov. 26 and approximately 1,500 people attended Nov. 25. Four OSU students were arrested for disorderly conduct at the Nov. 26 jump, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said in an email Nov. 26. He added that there were “minor injuries and nine medical transports.” The South Oval was reopened before Nov. 26 after being closed since November 2010 because of the installation of geothermal wells that aim to improve the heating and cooling systems of South Campus residence halls. Though the initial targeted completion date was September 2012, problems with the drilling method in relation to the South Oval geologic condition delayed the project end date by more than a year. Chesapeake Geosystems, Inc., the company initially under contract for the renovation, was released from its obligations because of its ineffective methods. The project originally cost $10.3 million and was expected to pay for itself in about 10 years, but the budget jumped to $12 million because of the delays and was completed by Bergerson-Caswell. A recently discovered leak in Mirror Lake and a continuous overflow problem led to the decision to put the area through

The OSU CABS paratransit service offers rides within a specifically defined university area. transportation for other reasons, like going to a study session at the library or going to the dining halls, Upp said. “The best way to do it is to give them your schedule for each day,” Upp, who lives in a residence hall, said. “Say you have class at 12:30 p.m., they’ll pick you up a half hour before and bring you back.” Though Upp is able to provide his own transportation occasionally, he said Paratransit is a convenience he enjoys. “I’m able to drive myself, but there are times when it’s raining or snowing or really cold out that I can use them,” he said. “It’s actually really nice.”
the sustainability study, but the original firm chosen left its contract, Komlanc said. “The contract with EDGE (Group) was issued through a competitive, qualifications-based process. However, EDGE has notified the university that, in order to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, they have chosen to withdraw from this contract,” Komlanc said in an email Monday. “The study will continue to move forward. The university is in the process of engaging another design professional to perform the work. We expect to have this confirmed by the end of this week or early next week.” EDGE Group is a local firm of landscape architects and development consultants founded by George. The firm was set to help address several issues of the campus landmark, including options for fixing the leak, maintenance considerations and alternative sources to fill the lake, Aparna Dial, director of OSU energy services and sustainability, told The Lantern in late November. Komlanc told The Lantern last month OSU was set to pay EDGE $24,000 to do the studies. The funds were to come from the President and Provost’s Council on Sustainability, which considers funding requests each year for various sustainability projects around campus. She did not comment Monday on whether the project’s budget has changed at all given EDGE’s decision. Komlanc said Monday the study is expected to return its recommendations in “early 2014,” at which point OSU faculty, staff, students and other partners will be consulted in deciding the next steps for the lake. She did not comment on when the Mirror Lake area is expected to be reopened and the lake refilled. The total cost of the Mirror Lake jump, including clean-up, logistics, operations and security, is not yet available, Komlanc said. The 2012 jump cost OSU more than $46,000, including public safety presence and repairs to the area. Justin Cline contributed to this article.

OSU Interim President Joseph Alutto during an interview with The Lantern Sept. 23. Kayla byler Managing editor of design byler.18@osu.edu Ohio State Interim President Joseph Alutto didn’t grow up intending to become president of one of the largest universities in the nation. His parents were working class. He was the first in his family to attend college and he paid his own way through experiences he said shaped his life. “My father was a truck driver, he had a sixth grade education,” Alutto said in an interview with The Lantern Sept. 23. “My mother was this wonderful old Italian woman who believed that unconditional love and really good food made for unconditional love. Both of whom knew nothing about college.” That upbringing gave Alutto a passion for education from an early age. “My parents didn’t have money to support us. Their notion was that if you wanted it bad enough, you’d pursue it. My brother and I wanted it, we worked 30 to 40 hours a week to get through,” he said. Alutto worked various jobs while attending Manhattan College where he received a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He said working through college was an experience that shaped his life. “What I learned is a lot of discipline. I learned how to work when I was tired. I learned what priorities were. There were weeks I had to work overtime and studies would slip. I had to make it up at some point. Those are the characteristics that have stayed with me my entire life,” he said. Alutto earned his master’s in industrial relations at the University of Illinois and a Ph.D., in organizational behavior from Cornell University. In 1991, Alutto was appointed to his first position at OSU as the dean of the Fisher College of Business, a position he served in for 16 years. Following the retirement of Karen Holbrook in July 2007, Alutto became interim president of OSU and served in that position until E. Gordon Gee assumed the presidency in October 2007. At that time, Alutto was appointed executive vice president and provost. After five years as provost, Alutto announced in November 2012 he would be leaving OSU. Joseph Steinmetz, then-executive dean and vice provost of the College of Arts and Sciences, was set to replace him. Alutto’s plans to leave changed, however, following then-President Gee’s retirement July 1. Alutto was appointed interim president for a second time as Steinmetz took over as executive vice president and provost. Gee’s announcement came days after controversial remarks he made at a Dec. 5 OSU Athletic Conference meeting came under public scrutiny. Comments, which he later called “inappropriate,” about Notre Dame and the Southeastern Conference in particular brought national attention. Steinmetz said Alutto is doing well leading the university during a time of uncertainty. “Because he was my predecessor as provost here, he has been especially helpful to me as I transitioned into the position,” Steinmetz said in an email. “The university is fortunate that he is at the helm during this period of transition.” “Dr. Alutto is doing an outstanding job as our interim president. I believe the university continues to move forward under his leadership in all areas,” he added. Just before stepping into the role of interim president, Alutto was a candidate for another interim position, superintendent of Columbus City Schools. Alutto turned down this role following Gee’s retirement. Columbus City School Board President Carol Perkins said she was “brokenhearted” when Alutto turned down the position. “My colleagues were disappointed because we were all looking forward to working with him,” she told The Lantern. “(But) we understood where and why he was needed.” In addition to his academic achievements, Perkins said she was also impressed with Alutto’s character. “He is very patient,” she said. “Some other things that just struck me immediately, he is a calm individual, he has a tremendous personality.” Some students, however, don’t think Alutto has made much of an impression on the university, especially following Gee, a university leader many saw as having an especially public presence. “We haven’t really heard that much from (Alutto),” said Lexi Minnick, a first-year in nursing. Bobby Lewe, a first-year in business, agreed. “I feel like he’s more distant (from students) than Gee, because he hasn’t had the experience yet,” he said. Lewe said, though, it was hard to judge the impression Alutto has made based on one semester. “It’s not going to happen just like that,” he said. Cassidy Tigner, a first-year in radiation therapy, said she wishes Alutto was more accessible to students but doesn’t think being a public figure is a crucial part of his job as interim president. “It would be cool if he was more involved but I don’t think it’s necessary,” she said. Following Gee’s retirement, the university created a Presidential Search Committee to find the next president. The committee’s advisory subcommittee developed a presidential profile, an eight-page guide to aid committee members and potential presidential candidates with understanding the most important values and qualifications being looked for in OSU’s next president, and a university portrait, a 63-page document that detailed OSU’s best qualities. OSU has spent more than $337,000 on the presidential search process so far. This includes the cost of a symposium discussion about what qualities a president should have and what a president should expect in his or her term, held Aug. 30 at Ohio Union. The other portion of OSU’s search-related expenses came from its contract with a private search firm. OSU signed a contract worth more than $220,000 Sept. 17 with R. William Funk & Associates, a Dallas-based firm. The university is set to pay the firm a fixed fee of $200,000, as well as reimburse the firm for direct, out-of-pocket expenses and an additional cost of $20,000 to cover administrative and support expenses, according to the contract. The university has also announced that the presidential candidates and finalists will be kept confidential. Presidential Search Committee chairman Jeffrey Wadsworth, who is also the Presidential Search Committee chairman, said July 19 the presidential search is expected to take about 300 days. However, he later suggested the search could possibly end earlier. Alutto said he wants to stay at OSU after a new president is chosen and pursue research related to leadership. “After I’m done and finished as interim president, I hope to go back to the Fisher College of Business and teach for a bit and pursue my own scholarship,” he said. www.thelantern.com

use of the property where St. John Arena is currently located,” Lewis said in an email. St. John Arena was built in November 1956 for about $4 million and seats nearly 13,300. A Nov. 21, 2012, university press release said the Covelli Arena will also have administrative offices, training facilities for men’s and women’s volleyball, space for women’s basketball to occasionally use as a venue and meeting facilities for most of the athletic department’s nearly 13,000 annual campers who participate in Department of Athletics programs. Meanwhile, the Greater Columbus Sports Commission’s schedule of sporting events includes bids for a variety of events it intends to hold at St. John in the coming years, according to its website. The Greater Columbus Sports Commission was created in 2002 to “attract professional, collegiate, amateur and youth sporting events to Greater Columbus,” according to the organization’s website. Some of the events released on the bid list to be held at St. John include the national collegiate men’s volleyball finals for the years 2015-18, the NCAA division one women’s volleyball regionals for the years 2015-17, the national collegiate women’s gymnastics regionals for the years 2015-18 and the national collegiate men’s gymnastics finals for the years 2016-17.
Linda Logan, the executive director for the Greater Columbus Sports Commission, said it doesn’t matter whether St. John itself is still in place, though. “We have every confidence that wherever the homes of the gymnastics and volleyball teams are, (they) will be at least the same caliber of St. John Arena or new and improved,” Logan said. OSU women’s volleyball coach Geoff Carlston told The Lantern in 2012 that St. John has been a special place for athletes and coaches. “There’s so much nostalgia built in with that building, and you feel it. You feel it when you’re in there,” Carlston said. “There’s an aura to it. It feels like a lot has happened in there, and the reality is it has.” Lauren Cox, a third-year in human development and family science, said the tradition of watching the OSU Marching Band perform before football games at St. John Arena should be maintained. “The tradition with the band going in with Skull Session is a really neat tradition and it has been held in there for a really long time,” Cox said. “I would be sad to hear that go.” Pat Brennan contributed to this article.

Columbus Division of Police cars sit outside Charlie bear: land of Dance, located at 2885 olentangy river road, Dec. 2 at about 2:30 a.m. a person was pronounced dead Dec. 2 after an officer-involved shooting at the club.
Shooting from 1A Amanda Hoffsis, president of Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment, in November. Campus Partners is a private nonprofit corporation that works on community planning in the Ohio State campus area alongside the university and the city of Columbus. South Campus Gateway LLC is a subtenant of Campus Partners. Charlie Bear owner Ted Lawson, though, said his reasons for moving from Gateway didn’t have to do with safety. “I was told by (Campus Partners) that, in fact, they didn’t want Charlie Bear, because one, they don’t like the image. Two, they didn’t like the type of people I was bringing in,” he told The Lantern in November. “They felt that the image that Charlie Bear was giving the area was not good.” The Monday incident was not the first act of violence reported at Charlie Bear — on Feb. 18, police said a person was stabbed at Charlie Bear’s South Campus Gateway location. Lawson did not respond to calls requesting comment about the incident Monday. Some Ohio State students said while they don’t frequent the club, Monday’s incident should serve as a warning. “I haven’t been to Charlie Bear in, like, four years. I saw that there was a shooting there and I wasn’t surprised because that area is sketchy anyway, and if you put a bunch of drunk … kids
over there, something bad is going to happen,” said Rebecca Horejsei, a fifth-year in microbiology. “Because they moved it so far off-campus, I think it’s less safe than when it was at Gateway. I’m not going to Charlie Bear ever again because I was never a big fan of it, but I’m not going somewhere I could get shot.” Other students agreed that the incident means it’s unlikely they’ll head to Charlie Bear anytime soon. “When I heard about the shooting, I was less inclined to go down there because of all the craziness and when I think of all that stuff happening, I (think) there may be too many crowds in one little area,” said Eden Brown, a fourth-year in human development and science. “I know there’s some non-student-based neighborhoods meshing with that side of campus and it is a little scary.” Nathan Tweed, a third-year in communication, said for now, the club is going to have to appropriately respond to the incident to avoid losing patrons. “They would have to up their safety and take some extra precautions to not lose any business,” Tweed said.

Perry: ‘The chase is on, the chase is real’ ERic Seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu In years past, the Ohio State football team has been able to enjoy a lengthy break following its rivalry game with the Michigan Wolverines, usually with multiple weeks off before its ensuing bowl game. That’s not such the case in 2013, as the Buckeyes (12-0, 8-0) are set to compete in the Big Ten Championship game for the first time in the three-year history of the game. OSU missed out on the chance to play for the title in 2011 after going 6-6, and was held out last season because of an NCAA bowl ban. With it all back in play now, the ultimate goal is in the Buckeyes’ sights. “The chase is real, that’s what we say around here. The chase is on, the chase is real,” sophomore linebacker Joshua Perry said Monday. “Coming from winter conditioning, seeing the signs and banners up to now, it really shows the body of work that we put in, but it also shows the fact that it’s never over and we just gotta keep going.” OSU coach Urban Meyer said Monday the team has wasted no time turning its attention to Michigan State (11-1, 8-0), the Buckeyes’ opponent for Saturday night in Indianapolis. “We just jumped right into a very good team, an excellent team, Michigan State,” Meyer said Monday during a press conference. “We want to do the best job we can to make sure this team is prepared.” Up to No. 2 from No. 3 in the BCS rankings, a win Saturday against the Spartans could all but punch OSU’s ticket to Pasadena, Calif., to play for the National Championship. The importance of such a game, Meyer said, coupled with it being the start of finals week on campus, means keeping things in perspective is important. “I think they are sore,” Meyer said. “And I have got to be smart this week in what we do … throw in the fact that it’s finals week at Ohio State this week, too, we have to be really efficient with our team.” The Spartans sport the nation’s best rushing

OSU won, 42-41. defense, allowing an average of just 64.75 yards per contest, and also rank first in total defense, allowing an average of 237.7 yards per game. “(Michigan State has) as fine a defense as there is in America,” Meyer said. “Very good players, excellent scheme, well coached.” Buckeye offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman had a more jovial way
of describing the Spartan defensive unit, using an old saying in his description. “I think that they are like fine wine; they get better with age,” Herman said Monday. “They have 11 guys that know exactly what they are doing, and they do it really well and they tackle well and they are always in the right spot … it’s about as sound a defense as you’ll see.”
OSU will take the nation’s second-ranked rushing offense (321.3 yards per game) into the contest against Michigan State Saturday, fresh off of picking up 393 yards on the ground against Michigan. OSU redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley said Monday the Buckeyes feel they can run the ball on anybody — regardless of their defensive accolades. “I mean that’s the way we prepare. We’re going to do our best to do that on Saturday,” Linsley said. “We obviously can’t get too overconfident with that, (but) it is nice to know that … we can not block a guy sometimes and (senior running back) Carlos (Hyde) will just run them over or (junior quarterback) Braxton (Miller) will make them miss.” Despite Miller only completing a total of six passes, Herman said the Buckeyes are still a balanced offense. “Balance is being able to win the game either way dependent on how the defense, what the defense is trying to take away, and I think we are a balanced offense right now,” Herman said. “And in the case of the game up in Ann Arbor, we were having success running the football, so it would have been probably against better judgement to stray away from that.” Success against the Spartan defense will be vital if the Buckeyes wish to see their season end with a trip to play in the BCS National Championship game Jan. 6. Even though it is likely that a victory Saturday will earn them that chance, Meyer was in no way ready to talk about that yet. “I’ll have a comment on Sunday. We play a game — and for someone to ask about something after this game, I mean, that’s cheating my football team,” Meyer said. “And there will be no conversation about what happens after this game until after this game.” Kickoff between the Buckeyes and Spartans is set for 8:17 p.m. Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Buckeye defense can’t defend poor play against Michigan Eric Seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu

OSU defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell yells at his players during The Game Nov. 30 at Michigan Stadium. OSU won, 42-41.
In the game of college football, a win’s a win, no matter how or at what cost. For the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (12-0, 8-0), their 24th victory in a row might have been the toughest of the streak to date, a 42-41 win on the road against archrival Michigan (7-5, 3-5) that saw the OSU defense give up a season-high 603 yards to the Wolverines. Such a performance garners questions to be directed at the team’s defensive coordinator, and OSU’s Luke Fickell was no exception Monday. When asked about what he thought went wrong in Saturday’s win, Fickell didn’t take kindly to the question. “What do you mean what went wrong? Did we win? Did we win?” Fickell said. “I’ve been up (in Ann Arbor) quite a few times in my 18-year career here … We know there’s things we have to correct, momentum and things happened and we didn’t play great on the defensive side of the ball so there’s a lot of things to correct. Every single week we have objectives and the last objective last week was win, and we came away with a win.” Don’t tell that to junior linebacker Ryan Shazier, though, who called the unit’s performance Saturday “bittersweet” even though the team won the game. “The most important thing at the end of the day is getting a ‘W,’” Shazier said. “But we (are) still pretty mad … the whole defense is pretty pissed off about how many yards we gave up rushing and passing. It’s just not acceptable.” Even though the Buckeye defense struggled all game, it did make a big play when it mattered most as redshirt-freshman cornerback Tyvis Powell picked off Michigan redshirt-junior quarterback Devin Gardner’s two-point conversion pass attempt with 32 seconds left to ice the game. Powell said after the game he knew that play was coming thanks to cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs, which Fickell said is all part of weekly preparation.
Men’s hockey drops 1st B1G
home game to Michigan, 5-4 DANIEL FYFFE Lantern reporter fyffe.22@osu.edu In the first men’s hockey Big Ten conference game held at the Schottenstein Center, the Ohio State Buckeyes fell to the Michigan Wolverines, 5-4, to complete a two-game series. Despite the Monday loss, coach Steve Rohlik said he was proud of his team’s effort against the No. 3-ranked Wolverines (10-2-1, 2-0-0), and said they “emptied the tank” by the end of the game, closing a three-goal gap to tie the game in the third period. “At the end of the day, (Michigan) had more (goals) than we did, so they obviously did a few things better, as the score would say,” Rohlik said. “I told the guys in the locker room I’m proud of our effort, and I thought we played a pretty good hockey. We battled back and gave ourselves a chance.” Although the Buckeyes (8-6-0, 0-2-0) outshot the
4A
Wolverines, 12-4, in the first period, the lone goal came off the stick of junior forward Zach Hyman with 5:56 left to give Michigan a 1-0 edge. Less than four minutes into the second stanza, junior forward Ryan Dzingel netted the equalizer to tie the game, 1-1, extending his streak to seven games with a goal. However, Michigan responded with two goals — both from freshman forward JT Compher — to extend the lead to 3-1 heading into the third period. Michigan freshman defenseman Michael Downing opened up the scoring early in the third with a goal, giving the Wolverines a three-score advantage. OSU junior forward Max McCormick tallied a goal in the power play at 10:37, which started a scoring frenzy by the Buckeyes. Buckeye freshman forward David Gust scored with 6:47 left, and junior forward Tanner Fritz came through just more than a minute later to tie the game.

“You prepare. You don’t know exactly, but when you do your studies and you have an idea,” Fickell said. “Obviously, you see the things that we rep we do a lot better job of … but that (play) was one of the things that we had repped and had a good idea but it comes down to the guy making the play.” OSU’s defense gives up an average 255.8 passing yards per game, tied for 101st in the country with Northwestern. The whole season, the team has been able to compensate for the lack of consistency on that side of the ball, but coach Urban Meyer remains confident in them. “(The) pass defense surfaced again, and (a) lack of contact on the quarterback,” Meyer said Monday. “We just had some guys running open … I trust that we’ll get it fixed, and I trust that these guys will be locked and loaded and have a good week of preparation.” The Spartan offense ranks third to last in the Big Ten in total offense with 380.2 yards per game, but is better than that number indicates, Shazier said. “They have playmakers out there,” Shazier said. “They would not have went undefeated in the Big Ten so far if they weren’t (good) so I feel like they’re doing a great job right now.” After watching the film of Saturday’s win against Michigan, sophomore linebacker Joshua Perry said the defense was “really close” to stopping the Wolverines from a lot of their big plays. The mistakes, though, were pretty evident. “When you turn on the film you gotta face the facts and realize that there were some mistakes made,” Perry said. “We got a chip on our shoulder, but it’s nothing that’s too urgent like we gotta throw out the whole defense and start over again. It’s just that we gotta correct up what we know to do.” Whether there are questions about the defense as a whole or specifically about their performance against Michigan, Fickell said it all comes back to one thing. “You have a standard, and that’s what’s been set around here. And I think that’s the beauty of it,” Fickell said. “You’re never satisfied with what you got.” The Buckeyes and No. 10 Spartans (11-1, 8-0) are set to face off for Big Ten supremacy Saturday at 8:17 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium.

sports Offense regular season grades: Hyde, running backs score highest daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu As the regular season wraps up and the No.2-ranked Ohio State football team (12-0, 8-0) prepares for the postseason along with a potential shot at the national title, here are The Lantern’s grades for the offensive units during the regular season.
report card Buckeyes
Quarterbacks: Quarterbacks: B It is hard to grade the quarterbacks too harshly when they have led the Buckeyes to their second straight undefeated regular season and a spot in the Big Ten Championship. But in the final half of the season, the passing game has taken a step back. Junior quarterback Braxton Miller was hot heading into the second half of the year, and managed to throw for more than 200 yards for four straight games in the middle of the year, but since his 233-yard performance against Purdue Nov. 2, Miller’s highest total is 160 yards through the air. As his passing game has slipped, he has also seen his numbers rushing sky rocket, tallying an average of 160.3 yards per game over the last three games of the year. With a big test in No. 10 Michigan State looming, pressure will be on Miller to keep up his great rushing numbers and pick his game up through the air to keep the undefeated season alive. Backup redshirt-senior Kenny Guiton did not see the field much in the second half of the season, but if his play in place of Miller when he was out with an injury is any indication of his ability, OSU fan’s shouldn’t worry when he comes on the field.
Hockey from 4A With just 1:35 remaining, senior defenseman Mac Bennett gave the Wolverines the lead for good, hitting the back of the net off a backdoor pass. Dzingel said the team’s mindset during its three-goal deficit was that it had to bounce back, and he said he believes the Buckeyes did just that. “Obviously, we had our backs against the wall being down, 4-1. Coach came in and challenged us, and it shows a lot of heart and a lot of character in the locker room to come out in the third and score three quick (goals),” Dzingel said. “We did some things wrong, but we did a lot of things right.” Rohlik said his first experience at the helm of the team during a series against rival Michigan was a positive one, even if the scoreboard said otherwise.

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design Running backs: A+ Academically, OSU doesn’t hand out an A+ grade, but it is hard to argue that the Buckeye running backs don’t deserve the highest grade possible. Since returning from a three-game suspension that was the result of an incident at a Columbus bar in July, senior running back Carlos Hyde has been stellar and invaluable to the Buckeyes undefeated regular season. Since Big Ten play began, Hyde has averaged 156.1 yards
“Win or lose this weekend, I wanted these guys to enjoy the moment,” Rohlik said. “Unfortunately, we lost both games, but I think our guys can feel good that we got better. That’s the key.” Although the Wolverines managed to complete the sweep, Bennett said Michigan’s play — especially giving up three goals in the third period — wasn’t where he believes it needs to be. “We need to get better,” he said. “(Giving up a three-goal lead) is embarrassing.” OSU capitalized on the power play twice out of seven attempts, compared to Michigan’s 0-for-5. The Buckeyes are slated to return to action Dec. 28, when they open a two-game series against Mercyhurst. Both games are set to be played at the Schottenstein Center, and are be the Buckeyes’ last nonconference matchup of the season.
per game on the ground, including 14 touchdowns. Hyde also tallied two games of more than 225 yards in OSU’s final three games, running for the third best total in school history, 246 yards, against Illinois and going for 226 against Michigan. Hyde is averaging the sixth most rushing yards per game and is 16th in the nation with 1290 total yards, and he is the first running back under coach Urban Meyer to run for more than 1,000 yards in a single season. Freshman running back Dontre Wilson also made an impact this season, scoring three total touchdowns, one rushing and two receiving, and returning kicks for the Buckeyes. Redshirt-senior Jordan Hall started the year as the feature back for OSU but took a backseat after a knee injury sidelined him and Hyde made his return. Hyde a faces his toughest test of the year Saturday against the Spartans, who sport the nation’s leading rush defense, but will look to extend his run of seven straight games with more than 100 yards. Wide receivers and tight ends: C+ After a good start to the season, the receiving corp has had a rough go of it in recent weeks, partially because of Miller’s struggles through the air. After recording three or more catches in each of the first nine games, junior wide receiver Devin Smith has only managed one catch a game over the last three weeks. Although it helps that in each of the last two games that one catch has been for a long touchdown, Smith will need to find his midseason form against the Spartans to help the Buckeyes. Senior Corey “Philly” Brown has also struggled in recent weeks, only tallying two catches for six yards over the last two games. The lone bright spot for the Buckeyes recently has been the
emergence of junior tight end Jeff Heuerman. With the exception of a no catch game against Illinois Nov. 16, Heuerman has been playing well lately, catching nine passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns in OSU’s last four games. Although Miller hasn’t been at his best as of late, the wide receivers will also need to step up their games for the Buckeyes to be successful against Michigan State Saturday. Offensive line: A This should be an A+, it should, but I couldn’t justify giving a perfect grade to the offensive line when it seems that without redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort, the Buckeyes are a different team. When Mewhort went down with an injury against Illinois, the Illini defense, which ranks 112th in the country in total yards allowed per game, began to bottle up a potent Buckeye rushing attack. Even with Hyde and Miller in the game, the departure of Mewhort hurt significantly for OSU, and it is never good to be heavily reliant on just one player. Still, this season, the offensive line has been perhaps the strongest unit on the team all season. With Mewhort in the game, senior left guard Andrew Norwell, redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley and sophomore right tackle Taylor Decker, OSU is in good hands. Even when redshirt-senior right guard Marcus Hall was ejected from the victory against Michigan, redshirt-freshman Pat Elflein came in and played well in the trenches. The ability of the offensive line is one of the Buckeyes’ top assets this year and could be the difference against a powerful Michigan State front seven.

Band The Stray Birds set to fly into C-Bus T.J. McGarry Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu Make no mistake, these birds know where to land in Ohio. The Stray Birds are set to soar into Columbus 8 p.m. Friday for a show at the Shedd Theater in the Columbus Performing Arts Center. The show is part of the Six String Concert series featured by Six String Concerts, Inc., a group which sponsors roughly 10 folk shows a year for Columbus audiences. The Stray Birds are an Americana band with a sound combined of folk, country, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and other traditional American music. “It’s a really new genre,” said Maya de Vitry, singer and guitarist for The Stray Birds. “It comes from all these different kinds of music.” The Stray Birds are a trio, consisting of de Vitry, who also plays banjo, Oliver Craven on vocals, guitar and fiddle and Charles Muench on vocals, upright bass and banjo. De Vitry and Craven began performing together in 2010, recording The Stray Birds’ first EP, “Borderland.” In 2012, the band brought in Muench and recorded its first full album, “The Stray Birds.” The album was named one of NPR’s Top 10 Folk/Americana Releases of the year. De Vitry said bringing in Muench helped develop the band’s music. “Having him on board really helped to round out the sound,” de Vitry said. While the band’s music fits into the Americana genre, de Vitry said the band’s influences vary. “We all have different songwriting influences,” de Vitry said. “Our influences could be anyone from

Americana band The Stray Birds is slated to perform Dec. 6 at the Shedd Theater in the Columbus Performing Arts Center. John Fullbright to the anonymous fiddle player you meet at three in the morning in Virginia one night.” However, de Vitry said the band’s influences do all have one thing in common. “The people we’re most influenced by really value the craft,” de Vitry said. “They put their heart and soul into the music.” All three members of The Stray Birds grew up in Lancaster County, Pa., and de Vitry attributes their similar origins to the creation of the band. “We’ve found better company elsewhere … I don’t think coming from where we did influences us,”
de Vitry said. “In some ways, I feel as if it was a happy accident we all grew up so close.” Some Ohio State students said they enjoy the band’s soft style and relaxed rhythms. “I would go see a show by them, they seem very eclectic,” said Josh Burlile, a fourth-year in French. “They’re very mellow … They seem to have something more interesting to say than other groups.” While The Stray Birds might be relatively new to the music scene, de Vitry said the band has big goals for the future. “We want to expand the places that we tour in the Northeast, maybe
move up to some larger rooms because we’re starting to sell out the smaller ones,” de Vitry said. “We want to play more festivals … there are some other great bands of young people out there and we’d love to network with them.” Tickets are $16 for students, $23 for adults and $6 for youth and can be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets, through mail or at the door. The Columbus Performing Arts Center is located at 549 Franklin Ave., and doors are set to open at 7:30 p.m. Rebecca Frazier is scheduled to open the show.

The Governor (David Morrissey) stands next to a tank before attacking the prison in the midseason finale of ‘The Walking Dead.’ Review
‘Walking Dead’ midseason finale stretches plausibility, goes too far MICHELE THEODORE Copy chief theodore.13@osu.edu
RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE 6A
Zombies. Sure, I can buy into zombies. It took me a while, but I’ve really become used to the zombie thing — which is important when it comes to “The Walking Dead.” I mean, who doesn’t love a morbidly disturbing devastation where the undead rule? But a tank? No. I don’t buy into a tank. In the zombie apocalyptic world, maybe it’s believable that some guy in the army really did drive off with a tank. But it’s not believable that The Governor (David Morrissey), or Brian or Philip or whatever he’s going by these days, would just happen to meet up with the one guy in the world still wandering around with a working knowledge of military equipment and access to a tank. It’s even less plausible that he could convince a group of strangers he just met to kill a completely different group of strangers. Even though it seems like the only way to survive is to kill or be killed, there’s usually some sort of reason behind the murders. Whether it’s to protect your group of survivors, gain access to better supplies or because someone else struck first, it’s inevitable but prompted. As weird as it sounds, I’ve been mostly fine with the protagonists’ kills on the show so far. Even
when Carol (Melissa McBride) killed two of the new members of the group, I was sort of all right with that. Come on guys, she was doing it for the good of the group and she had great intentions. That’s fine. But there doesn’t seem to be any kind of need that prompted the attempted killings of Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his gang. The Governor’s new little group of survivors seemed content in their RV lifestyle. They don’t need the territory and security the prison provided when they have the protection of the river and the barriers they’re building. His new fling, Lilly (Audrey Marie Anderson), even protested several times and pointed out that they didn’t need to go anywhere better. It’s just not believable. Suddenly, The Governor stumbles into camp, all the old leaders of the camp start dying (because he killed them), and yet the people still get talked into killing an innocent group of people because he tells them they should. To survive the near extinction of the human race, it seems like you’d have to be intelligent and definitely not gullible. Yet these people are the definition of gullible. I’d just like to believe people are better than to stoop to blindly murdering others. There’s a difference between killing to survive or to protect your family and killing because some stranger talked you into it. It’s even worse when the tank starts plowing down the fences to the prison, destroying the prison’s valuable assets and rendering it useless. It
seems like the group would have stopped destroying the prison if their goal was truly to make the space advantageous. It also seems like the group would have stopped destroying their “enemies” once The Governor unprecedentedly chopped Hershel’s (Scott Wilson) head off. Some of the women in the group seemed visibly shaken, but they continued fighting. I wasn’t really ever that attached to Hershel, to be honest. Every time he launched into one of his speeches about good and evil, I would stifle an eyeroll. He kind of reminded me of Samwise from “The Lord of the Rings,” and I pictured music from the Shire playing majestically behind his words while he motivated the survivors. I mean, it’s nice and touching and all, but I’d rather just see the zombies. But now that he’s dead, I’m enraged. He had the most precious smile on his old man face while Rick fought to save him. What purpose was there to killing Hershel? On top of all of this, I’m super confused about what the next part of this season will bring. All the survivors dispersed, and my favorite characters are separated from one another, leaving more questions than answers while the show takes a hiatus for a few months. The producers did do one thing right: They made me mad, which will inevitably get me to tune back in when the show comes back February 9. And they also killed The Governor. So I guess that means they did two things right.

Guide to College Fashion
Plan ahead, choose wisely to bring in the new year with style BREANNA SOROKA Senior Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu There’s no such thing as planning too far ahead when it comes to holiday outfits, and with less than a month to go until New Year’s Eve, now is an excellent time to begin putting together an ensemble that will be perfect for ringing in a brand new year. Keep reading for some tips on picking the outfit that fits you best. Get fancy Whether you’re watching the ball drop at midnight on TV at a friend’s house or out and about at various parties, New Year’s Eve is meant to be full of as much glitz and glamour as possible. Don’t be afraid to get all dolled up just because the event you’re attending doesn’t seem big enough. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to wear a flouncy dress with your highest heels and as many accessories as you can fit on your body — rather, wear what you feel most comfortable, but add a little bit of personal sparkle. If you’re a leggings and sweater girl, throw on some leather leggings and a sequined sweater. If you feel more at home in a skirt, just add some jazzy tights and a top you love. Comfort is key, but there are plenty of ways to combine comfort and style. Add some sparkle If there’s ever a night when there is no such thing as too much glitter, it’s this night. Whether you concentrate it all in one part of your outfit or spread it out between pieces, you can’t go wrong. Glittering heels paired with an otherwise sparkle-free outfit look wonderful, as they also do with a sequin-covered top and leather leggings. If you’d rather not draw quite as much attention to yourself with an ensemble that reflects all of the light, why not add some glittering eyeliner to brighten your face? Branch out from black Though black is the easiest color to dress up, especially when pairing it with pieces that sparkle, jewel-toned apparel is also great for wearing around the holidays. A pair of dark teal pants with a cream blouse is a great outfit choice for standing out on New Year’s Eve, as are ensembles with deep purples, wine reds and hints of metallic gold. If you just can’t bring yourself to stray from classic black, go ahead and add pops of these colors to an otherwise monochromatic ensemble. Jewel-toned shoes and jewelry look quite dramatic against such a dark outfit.

If sequins and fancy dresses aren’t your thing, opt for a pair of leather leggings to look classy, yet comfortable this New Years Eve. Go bold with makeup If the glitter eyeliner mentioned above doesn’t suit your fancy, there are plenty of other ways to rock a new, bold makeup look for the night. If your lips are often bare, swipe on a fiery red-orange lipstick and some mascara, and you’re good to go. If you’d rather play up your eyes, a golden smoky eye is perfect for the holiday. New Year’s Eve is all about changing things up, and your makeup should be no different. What you wear on this night is the outfit in which you’ll be starting a brand new year, so it’s important to choose wisely. No matter what, have fun with your clothes and ring in the new year with style.
Over the Rhine to return to home state T.J. MCGARRY Lantern reporter mcgarry.28@osu.edu There’s no place like home for Ohio natives Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. The husband-and-wife team of Over the Rhine is slated to return to its home state 8 p.m. Thursday for a show at the Lincoln Theatre. “If I had to take a guess at how many times we’ve played in Columbus, I’d have to say over two dozen,” said Detweiler, who plays a variety of instruments, including bass guitar and keyboards, while also contributing vocals to the Cincinnati-based band. Alongside Detweiler, Bergquist, who contributes acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, said the duo will be accompanied by a six-piece band for the show. While Over the Rhine’s sound bears much in common with folk and country music, Detweiler feels the band’s music defies traditional genres. “I guess most people would lump us into this new genre, call us an Americana band,” Detweiler said, referring to a style of music defined by the Americana Music Festival’s website as music that draws from country, folk, bluegrass and other traditional American roots music styles. “But we have all these different kinds of music filtered through our story.” The band’s story began at Malone College in Canton, Ohio, where Detweiler and Bergquist met and began making music together. In 1989, the two formed Over the Rhine as a quartet, eventually releasing its first studio album, “Till We Have Faces” in 1991. The band began touring with other folk acts, including Bob Dylan, soon thereafter. Bergquist and Detweiler were married in 1996 and continued to make music together. To date, they have released 23 studio albums. “Each record can kind of be associated with a different chapter of our lives,” Bergquist said. The band’s namesake comes from Over-the-Rhine, a neighborhood in Cincinnati where Bergquist and Detweiler lived. They were enchanted by the neighborhood’s classical appeal — enough to name their band after it.

Over the Rhine is scheduled to perform Dec. 5 at the Lincoln Theatre. “Over-the-Rhine is really an amazing neighborhood,” Detweiler said. “When K (Bergquist) and I discovered this neighborhood, we felt as if we had discovered this lost European city. We were really romanced by it.” The band’s latest album, “Meet Me at the Edge of the World,” tells the latest story in the duo’s history, as they left the city to live on a small farm outside of Cincinnati. “All of these songs grew out of the dirt,” Bergquist said. “There’s a lot of Ohio in this album.” The band’s latest album also marks a new style for the band, as Detweiler and Bergquist are attempting to focus more on singing together in harmony, rather than Bergquist performing the majority of the vocals. “When we heard the sound of our two voices together, we realized we had something new, which is hard to do after 20 years,” Detweiler said. Some Ohio State students were excited at the prospect of seeing a band with Over the Rhine’s type of music. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story
