PLAYOFF BOUND

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones (12) lifts the Stagg Championship Trophy into the air following the Buckeyes’ win against Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 6 in Indianapolis. OSU won, 59-0.

Ohio State overcomes adversity to earn spot against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu Season-ending injures to two Heisman Trophy caliber quarterbacks, a week-two loss to an unranked opponent and the death of a teammate.

That’s the string of adversity the Ohio State football team had to overcome on its way to a 59-0 drubbing of Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game and an eventual berth in the first-ever College Football Playoff.

“We can say we did that and it just shows how truly special this group is and how we can come together, coaching staff, support staff, players, everyone,” senior tight end Jeff Heuerman said after OSU’s title-game win. “We just all came together and it was truly special.”

Senior cornerback Doran Grant echoed Heuerman, and added the team’s attitude helped it fight through difficult times.

“The thing is, I know we have a resilient team,” Grant said Sunday. “We’re fighters, and we overcame a whole lot of adversity.”

The Buckeyes (12-1, 8-0) topped the Badgers on Saturday in Indianapolis, and then found out they were ranked No. 4 in the final edition of the College Football Playoff standings Sunday afternoon. That ranking meant OSU had moved into the final playoff spot, setting the Buckeyes up for a matchup with No. 1 Alabama on New Year’s Day. The game pits Buckeye coach Urban Meyer against Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban for the fourth time in their coaching careers. Meyer is 1-2 against Saban in the three previous matchups.

Even after locking up their 35th Big Ten title, Grant said the Buckeyes weren’t positive they had done enough to convince to the playoff selection committee. But at the end of the day, they did.

“We weren’t quite sure we were gonna get in or not, depending on what the committee put down, but (we) got in,” he said. “(I’m) excited. Chance to make history.”

Going into the weekend, the Buckeyes needed at least a win — if not a blowout victory — in order to stake their claim on a playoff spot.

But the matchup with Wisconsin came just more than a week after redshirtfreshman quarterback J.T. Barrett — who was putting up Heisman-caliber numbers — fractured his ankle, and just under a week since the Buckeyes learned of the death of walk-on defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge.

Barrett had already replaced another Heisman candidate in senior Braxton Miller, who was ruled out for the season after tearing the labrum in his throwing shoulder during fall camp. So when OSU took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, it was down to former third-string redshirt-sophomore Cardale Jones at quarterback, playing with the memory of Karageorge in mind.

“A lot of things happened this past week,” Meyer said after the game. “There’s a family grieving that was a big part of our family. Kosta, we had a prayer and a moment of silence for him in our locker room for him and his family. We’ll never forget our teammate.”

Senior defensive lineman Michael Bennett — who wore Karageorge’s No. 53 against Wisconsin in honor of his late teammate — said the player’s death brought the Buckeyes closer together.

“Maybe he gave me strength, because I’ve never played like that before,” Bennett said. “I think he gave the guys strength and we were able to rally around together because we realized how special it is to do what we do with each other.”

Bennett finished the game with a career-high four tackles for loss and two sacks, while also forcing a fumble that was returned by sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa for a touchdown.

Bennett and the rest of the defense’s play was coupled with unprecedented offensive success for OSU, considering Wisconsin came into the game with the No. 2 defense in the nation.

Senior defensive lineman Michael Bennett (53) celebrates after a sack during the Big Ten Championship Game against Wisconsin on Dec. 6 in Indianapolis. Bennett wore late teammate Kosta Karageorge’s number in place of his usual No. 63 in OSU’s 59-0 win.

Jones racked up 257 yards and three touchdowns through the air while sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott piled on 220 yards and two more scores on the ground.

On top of the adversity suffered in recent days, junior linebacker Joshua Perry said he and other non-seniors wanted to send the Buckeye veterans out with their first Big Ten Championship.

“There was a lot of talk about that,” Perry said after the game. “They’ve been here, done a lot of great things. They’ve won a lot of games and really didn’t have too much to show for it, so we wanted to send them out right.”

As the team banded together for the seniors — including Karageorge — and injured teammates, Meyer said the Buckeyes are the most improved team he’s

campus Situations at Florida State, North Carolina a reminder of potential campus emergencies RITIKA SHAH Lantern TV News director shah.718@osu.edu It was gut-wrenching. The bangs didn’t register as gunshots — until a frantic librarian was heard calling 911.

That’s how Sarah Evans, a fourth-year in sport management at Florida State University, described her growing fear as she realized her life was in danger. Evans was just 30 feet around the corner from an entrance to Strozier Library when an armed gunman opened fire in the library on Nov. 20. In the midst of attempting to discern what was happening, she saw a man bleeding on the ground behind a desk.

“I was just standing there, frozen kind of … and that’s when I was like, ‘Holy crap, I gotta get out of here,’” Evans said.

Myron May, the gunman, was a 2005 alumnus of FSU. He was shot and killed by police after ignoring their request to drop his handgun and shooting at one of the officers.

In a separate incident the previous night, a post on anonymous posting app Yik Yak at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill read, “To all my friends, don’t be in the Pit tomorrow at noon. Things will be getting a big (sic) explosive.” The Pit is a student courtyard at UNC. The post garnered responses such as, “Is this a threat of violence?” and “So should the police be notified or…?”

In response, the police were alerted and had an increased presence on campus the next morning, especially surrounding the courtyard mentioned in the post. Jonathan Hartshorn, a fourth-year in economics and sports science at UNC, said many students on campus took the post as a joke and the volume of students passing through the central campus landmark didn’t seem to change.

“I mean, people talked about how many policemen were in the Pit, but I don’t think people were nervous at all,” he said. “I went through the Pit a couple of times and saw the police officers and I was like, ‘It looks like they know what they’re doing.’”

First-year UNC student Daniel Fischbeck was charged Nov. 20 with a felony count for falsifying a bomb threat at a public building.

Had it been a serious case, Hartshorn said he thinks campus authorities might have notified students through the university text message

Students comfort each other the morning of Nov. 20 after the previous night’s shooting at Florida State. alert system and/or shut down campus.

“If you weren’t sure what to do (in the case of a campus emergency), as soon as you heard something was up, you’d also get instruction immediately,” he said.

Hartshorn said this instruction, however, might not be clear enough in all emergency situations.

“If you gave me a very specific scenario, I think I would go with my intuition,” he said.

“I don’t think I would know what I am actually supposed to do.”

Evans, at FSU, echoed a similar sentiment.

“I didn’t know if it was one shooter, I didn’t know if it was multiple people,” she said. “I didn’t know if we were safe in the library. I didn’t know what to do. I just felt — I felt really helpless.”

In light of these events, officials at Ohio State said they are prepared to handle cases of bomb threats and active shooters on campus. But some students who lived through those situations have been left with feelings of uncertainty, as was made apparent at other universities this fall.

That same air of uncertainty hangs over students at OSU, too. Some students said they aren’t completely sure that they’d know what to do in a campus emergency.

Mattey Spicer, a fourth-year in fashion and retail studies, said while he thinks places like

a residence hall might be prepared to handle a campus threat because resident advisers could take charge, an evacuation might not go as smoothly at a building like the Ohio Union.

“I honestly just think it would just be chaos,” he said. “I think I would just react based on the situation. I mean, if you were to ask me what I would do right now, I wouldn’t have a certain plan ready.”

Meredith Joseph, a second-year in industrial and systems engineering, said she hopes employees in campus buildings are prepared to offer instructions in an emergency situation because she believes individual students simply don’t know what to do.

“To be honest, we haven’t been notified or we haven’t been educated on certain procedures that need to be happening,” Joseph said. “We haven’t learned (a formal procedure) and that’s sad.”

OSU is no stranger to bomb threats or active shooter scenarios. On March 9, 2010, then-51-year-old maintenance employee Nathaniel Brown came to work at 3:30 a.m., halfway through his shift. Armed with two handguns, Brown shot two of his bosses before killing himself. Larry Wallington, then 48, a building services manager, was pronounced dead at the scene while Henry

Ohio State has a goal to become the healthiest university on the globe, said an official with the OSU College of Nursing.

The university has taken the next step to get there this summer when it became one of 20 schools nationwide to join in a threeyear commitment with the Partnership for a Healthier America. Schools participate in this Healthier Campus Initiative by adopting a series of guidelines to promote nutrition and physical activity on the university’s campus.

“Our goal is to become the healthiest university on the globe,” said Megan Amaya, OSU’s College of Nursing director of health promotion and wellness, in an email. “By making changes in the culture and environment around campus, it will help us to achieve this goal.”

PHA was founded in 2010 with a mission to develop strategies to combat the childhood obesity crisis . The nonprofit organization “is led by some of the nation’s most respected health and childhood obesity advocates” and is supported by honorary chair First Lady Michelle Obama, according to the PHA website.

“It’s about encouraging healthier habits now so that in the future, healthier habits are easier,” said Elly Spinweber, a PHA spokeswoman, on the Healthier Campus Initiative. “It’s an important time in a person’s life because it’s a big moment for life changes.”

OSU is the only Big Ten school currently committed to PHA’s Healthier Campus Initiative, Spinweber said.

The commitment requires that universities choose 23 guidelines from a menu of 40 different PHA recommendations based on the nation’s leading health data, such as data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Spinweber said.

The cost of Ohio State’s partnership in the Healthier Campus Initiative is $4,950, Amaya said.

Emergencies from 2A Butler, then 60, an operations shift leader, was later in stable condition after undergoing surgery at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center.

According to his supervisors, Brown was said to have been a “hostile” employee who didn’t follow through on simple, routine tasks and required close supervision. It was after Brown learned of his termination that he opened fire in the maintenance building at 2000 Tuttle Park Place.

Police said they responded to the scene within two minutes and university officials sent a campus-wide email shortly after 7 a.m., alerting students and staff that a shooting had occurred, but that campus had been secured and OSU would continue normal operations.

That November, four campus buildings were evacuated after the FBI was notified of a bomb threat on OSU’s campus. Emails and text messages sent to those enrolled in the Buckeye Alert system said the threat was linked to Thompson Library, Scott Laboratory, Smith Laboratory and McPherson Chemical Laboratory.

Some classes in neighboring buildings were reportedly canceled and students were told to avoid those buildings and the general area. More than 1,500 students were evacuated and parts of 18th Avenue were closed to pedestrian

traffic.

To receive Buckeye Alerts, students must enroll in the opt-in system through Buckeye Link and officials said about 32,000 people received the text messages that morning. However, some parents of students told The Lantern that their children had not received those messages.

The FBI, University Police and Columbus Fire Department bomb squad spent 12 hours scouring the four buildings with bomb-sniffing dogs. They found no evidence of an actual threat. The false alarm was linked to then-OSU student Jonathan Birkemeyer, who sent an email to the FBI’s tip website at 7:38 a.m. on Nov. 16, 2010. In it, the criminology student and former Marine said he had found a paper with a detailed map of nine bombs placed in four different campus buildings that noted the chemical and highly explosive nature of the powder. The FBI alerted OSU officials about the tip at 8:19 a.m. that same day and they announced a police investigation at 8:41 a.m.

An FBI special agent testified at the resulting hearing, saying that Birkemeyer had an exam scheduled in McPherson Laboratory the morning of the email and that an investigation of his computer showed that Birkemeyer had downloaded the review sheet for the exam only the day before.

More recently, a suspicious package found at the South Campus Gateway prompted a campus crime alert Feb. 21, 2013. A robbery suspect had removed an alarm system from Barnes and Noble and dropped the alarm while attempting to evade officers on the scene. The alarm was a box with wires coming out of it, so the bookstore and several buildings in the area were evacuated. The alarm was deemed non-threatening in the resulting investigation.

Roughly two months later, the Ohio Union was evacuated April 16, 2013, after an unattended backpack was found outside the building. The threat shut down parts of High Street and College Road between 12th Avenue and Hagerty Drive.

The unattended backpack contained no explosives, according to a notice from OSU media relations, but was purposefully detonated to follow with suspicious package protocol. The police were notified of the unattended backpack at about 5 p.m., according to a university public safety notice, and the Ohio Union was reopened shortly after 7:30 p.m.

In light of recent campus emergencies like the one at FSU, University Police officer Adam Tabor said in the case of a an active shooter or potential bomb threat at OSU, students should consider three steps to safety. First, evacuate oneself from the situation and get away from the source of danger, and second, find a safe hiding place or create a barricade from the threat. Tabor warned that as a last resort, students might need to be prepared to fight.

Tabor said knowing how to get out of a building is the best way to stay alive.

“Prepare for that escape route. Know every way there is to get out of that building where you spend a lot of time,” he said.

“It might save your life some day.”

OSU authorities said the No. 1 priority for students should be protecting their own lives and that calling 911 comes second.

When alerting the authorities, officer Joanna Shaul said students should be vigilant.

“Be on the lookout for what doesn’t fit,” she said. “If everyone’s leaving and one person is going the other way, pay attention to that person, get a good description of them … When something is different and unusual, trust yourself.”

With a student body the size of OSU’s, Shaul said it’s imperative that students keep a watchful eye, as there are significantly more students than there are police officers. As of Fall Semester, there were 58,322 students enrolled at OSU’s main campus. Administration and Planning spokesman Dan Hedman said in an email that the university’s public safety presence of uniformed personnel totals 143 staff members. The Florida State University Police Department serves more than 40,000 students, faculty and staff with 67 sworn officers, according to a university website.

Tabor said OSU police officers go through eight hours of active shooter training every year involving role playing scenarios.

“I am confident in saying that if this happens here at the Ohio State University, we will absolutely handle it,” he added.

As for students, Tabor said the same logic applies.

“The better prepared you are, the better chance you have at surviving,” he said.

Even so, Evans, the FSU student, said developing a plan of action differs from actually reacting when an emergency situation arises.

“You can plan this type of situation,” she said, “(but) you’re never going to expect it when it comes or know what to do.”

Nutrition from 2A Chief Wellness Officer will pay for the cost of this partnership,” she said in an email.

Spinweber said there is a need for increased health awareness, especially in college.

“What we see is that students’ overweight and obesity rates increase by about 15 percent during their first year of school and that, most, in general, are not eating enough fruits and vegetables or getting enough physical activity,” Spinweber said. “So it’s about there being a little bit of a need.”

Yet OSU already meets many of the requirements, Amaya said.

“PHA put together measurable objectives that universities can strive to achieve,” Amaya said. “OSU already meets many of their objectives, which says a lot about the great past and current efforts conducted

by Student Life and faculty/staff wellness with regards to changes in dining, recreation and wellness programming.”

Some of the 23 requirements OSU chose include offering only healthier food and beverage choices in a minimum of 50 percent of campus vending machines, providing at least one bicycle parking space on campus for every 15 individuals and offering a minimum of 20 diverse recreational or physical activity opportunities during the academic year. Additionally, dining halls must offer a minimum of five types of fruits, five types of vegetables and two whole grain products for both lunch and dinner, Amaya said.

“One of the goals is really to make healthier food and physical activities really present on campus, making campuses a place where it’s really easy to get healthy food, where it’s really easy to be physically active so that we’re encouraging healthier habits that sort of carry on into adulthood,” Spinweber said.

Even so, OSU signed a $32 million contract spanning 10 years with Coca-Cola that makes the soft drink provider the exclusive beverage vendor at OSU. OSU originally started its contract with Coca-Cola in 1998 and chose to renew the agreement in 2008 to last until 2018.

The implementation of healthier options will not be one that students necessarily notice because OSU already complies with the 23 guidelines the university has selected, Amaya said.

“Our intention is never to take away choices. Our intention is only

A vending machine at OSU to put healthier choices right out in front,” Spinweber said. “It’s all Ohio State. It’s a commitment that the campus makes to PHA.” Molly Dixon, a second-year in zoology, said she has observed the implementation of healthier programming options on campus in places like the RPAC. “I know that during finals week, one of the things the RPAC really pushes is to stay fit because that relieves stress,” Dixon said. “I think it’s great.”

The goal of the partnership is to help OSU strive to do even more to encourage students, faculty and staff to make healthier choices, Amaya said.

“The college years are a time when lifelong habits begin to form. For the first time, many students are making their own choices about food and lifestyle,” Amaya said. “By providing students and faculty/staff with the options to engage in healthier

behaviors, we can make significant improvements in the health of our university family.”

Michelle Stines, a first-year in psychology, said the initiative is important at a university in a nation that leads the world in obesity.

“Instilling those good habits in college, I think that will help to make it a healthier America,” she said.

Ryan Hutcheson, a second-year in biomedical engineering, said he supports the partnership, especially since OSU has been ranked one of the healthiest universities in the country.

“You want to make sure students stay healthy both mentally and physically. Healthy living is clean living,” he said.

OSU officially announced its commitment to join the PHA initiative on Nov. 16. PHA’s Healthier Campus Initiative impacts more than 500,000 students and 126,000 faculty and staff nationwide, Spinweber said.

opinion OSU wins against Michigan on football field, loses in reality

JON MCALLISTER / Asst. photo editor

OSU fans celebrate on the field after a game against Michigan on Nov. 29 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 42-28.

DANIELLE SEAMON Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu Michigan lost Nov. 29, but they really won.

Nevertheless, Ohio State fans and students left the Horseshoe on Nov. 29 with a sense of accomplishment one can only get from standing idly and watching a group of men sweat and break themselves. These spectators — these tenacious pictures of martyrdom — carried a seat cushion in one hand, and in the other, a victorious sensation that they will likely use to gloat on Facebook and Twitter for the next 364 days.

“We did it!” a group of OSU students probably chanted/ thought while patting each other on the back and getting their postgame drink on at Chumley’s.

“We beat Michigan!”

Now, if these students were named J.T. Barrett, Jeff Heuerman, Joey Bosa, Cardale Jones, Ezekiel Elliott or anyone else on the Buckeyes’ 2014 football roster, this would be an accurate statement, and such a triumphant high would be warranted.

Anyone else — student, faculty, alumni or fan: You, in fact, did not beat Michigan.

You actually have an active

part in losing to Michigan in a number of academic categories in which a college can be ranked.

Now, Michigan did lose in a matchup against OSU’s football team, 42-28, a little more than a week ago. In other words, about 0.2 percent (the proportion of football players) of the student body of University of Michigan were defeated by about 0.2 percent of the student body at Ohio State.

OSU’s win was probably felt through the Columbus campus and beyond the entire weekend, and it will likely maintain its climax until next year’s game.

Michigan’s athletic defeat was probably felt by the Wolverines and Ann Arbor’s football fans, at minimum, for the three-or-so hours of the game’s duration, or, at maximum, until Sunday evening.

What is constant between the two schools, though, is the rate at which the outcome of the game will realistically affect the potential profitability, future opportunities and overall well-being of any student not on the respective football team.

Although there are no numbers or stats to back this up, I feel most people would agree Saturday’s win or loss has little to no

effect on the future achievement of non-varsity-football-playing students at either school. (I’m open to compelling arguments, though.)

In the realm of student achievement and national recognition, though — something that affects all students and alumni all 365 days of the year — Michigan is winning over OSU by more than the point value of a couple of touchdowns.

Let’s start with the “U.S. News and World Report” rankings — annual lists that rate national universities on different criteria.

In 2014, the website ranked Michigan at No. 29, while OSU was left out of the top 50 at No. 54. In this list, colleges are ranked based upon factors including reviews by administrators at peer institutions, student retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving and graduation rate performance.

But we can also get a little more specific about how much better Michigan is academically than OSU. Other “U.S. News and World Report” categories in which the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes include undergraduate business program (No. 4 to No. 20), undergraduate engineering

program (No. 7 to No. 26), top public schools (No. 4 to No. 18), freshmen retention rate (97 percent to 93 percent) and graduate programs in education (No. 8 to No. 16), law (No. 10 to No. 31), public affairs (No. 12 to No. 29) and medical schools for research (No. 12 to No. 34).

Forbes ranked Michigan higher than OSU in its 2014 list of top colleges (No. 45 to No. 155) and business schools (No. 10 to No. 36). Also, Michigan graduates have a higher starting salary than OSU grads ($54,000 to $46,200), according to PayScale.

And for those who argue that college rankings are meaningless, biased and should be ignored, let’s agree to disagree, then. Sure. College rankings don’t matter — just like football rankings.

This is not to say that sports are not important to colleges, universities and life in general.

Sports are an outlet for camaraderie and a sense of belonging that fulfill a basic need of human interaction. Beyond that, these sports are essential to the amount of revenue many academic institutions depend on to fund the means of its earned ranking.

And when it comes to money from sports, OSU and Michigan

are on a pretty even playing field — in 2013, Michigan brought in more than $143 million from NCAA sports while OSU brought in more than $139 million, according to USA Today.

However, I acknowledge that, ultimately, it’s not about who can pump more money into academics and who has the higher ranking in the “U.S. News and World” report’s annual list.

It’s about the lifestyle of students on campus, smart hires in faculty, jumping on research opportunities, aiding in job searches before and after graduation, supporting already-successful departments and helping those that could use it.

And, according to various statisticians, educators and data, Michigan wins.

So, if we are going to beat Michigan, let’s do it in that.

Food truck brings coffee, beignets to early risers

“

THE WORLD DOESN’T NEED ANOTHER VASE. THERE IS A LOT STILL TO BE MADE.

” CLASS OF GLASS

THOMAS WILLIAMS Lantern reporter williams.4514@osu.edu There is a new food truck in the University District that is serving up a simple breakfast New Orleans style.

“It’s a classic combination — doughnuts and coffee,” said Libby Glover, owner of The Early Bird.

The food truck is nestled in front of the Indianola Church of Christ at 2141 Indianola Ave. Instead of traditional baked doughnuts, the Early Bird offers beignets — a Southern favorite. A beignet is a cripsy, French-style doughnut that is fried and often covered in either cinnamon and sugar or just powdered sugar. Glover drew inspiration from a favorite restaurant of her husband’s in New Orleans, Café Du Monde, Glover said. Café Du Monde is a coffee shop in New Orleans that primarily offers coffee and beignets.

“I wanted to emulate that and kind of pay homage to that classic combination,” Glover said. “There’s nothing better than doughnuts and coffee.”

The Early Bird offers various types of fillings for the beignets, including apple butter, pumpkin and the most popular flavor, Nutella.

The flavors vary weekly, Glover said.

“I try to mix it up to keep with the season,” Glover said.

The Early Bird uses fresh ingredients and fries beignets as they are ordered, Glover said. The dough is made the night before.

A traditional beignet costs $1 while a filled beignet is $1.75.

“For what you’re getting, it’s a little cheaper than what I had originally planned,” Glover said.

“But with a great filling and a great dough, it’s a really great price.”

Elizabeth Davidson, a barista at The Early Bird, said she thinks the truck brings something new to Columbus.

“I think she definitely has a major win — there is no other fresh fried beignet truck in the city,” she said.

The Early Bird also offers One Line Coffee, a local roaster located in the Short North that recently won second place for its region at the U.S. Brewers Cup. According to its website, the U.S. Brewers Cup focuses on manual coffee brewing.

“It’s just a step above everything else,” Glover said. “I’m working with them closely to produce the same amount of quality for their coffees because I want to represent their coffee well.”

Glover said she thinks offering One Line Coffee separates the Early Bird from other food trucks.

“In food trucks, you sacrifice on your drinks because you’re focusing on the food,” Glover said.

“We’re focusing on both.”

The Early Bird is an extension of what is known as Four and Twenty Blackbird Bake Shop, a wholesale bakery. Glover operates her business out of the kitchen at the Indianola Church of Christ, which is why her truck is parked in front of the church.

Patrons can order traditional bakery items including breads, cupcakes and muffins, Glover said.

During the summer, Glover sells her baked treats at farmer’s markets around the city.

Glover’s passion for baking came after working in the production kitchen at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, where she used fresh ingredients daily.

“I just love working with fresh ingredients and making them into something sweet,” Glover said.

Glover graduated from Kendall College in Chicago with a degree in baking and pastry before opening Four and Twenty Blackbird Bake Shop in 2013.

Glover plans on keeping the food truck open throughout the winter unless it gets really cold.

“If it’s going to be below 15 degrees, then we’ll shut it down,” Glover said. “But we’ll try to be open every day.”

GRAD STUDENT WHO TEACHES GLASSBLOWING

STUDENTS CREATE, DISPLAY DELICATE ART FORM YANN SCHREIBER Lantern reporter schreiber.135@osu.edu When Gregory Khutoryan applied at Ohio State to study architecture, he did not even know that OSU had glassblowing studios on campus. But now a few years later, he’s now a third-year in glassblowing.

“I was always interested in glass and art. I basically just got addicted to it. It’s an exciting medium to work in,” he said.

“He talks of glass all the time,” said his roommate Breanna Mustard, a third-year in integrative and alternative approaches to health and wellness, adding that his work is practical too. “We have some cups at home.

It’s nice to have personalized stuff.”

Khutoryan is one of the nine students in Jonathan Capps’ intermediate glass methods course to take part in an exhibition in the Fine Arts library that opened Saturday and is set to last until Friday.

“OSU is so huge,” Capps, a graduate teaching associate, said. “Many things go unnoticed. “(The exhibition) is not only a way to have a final in a less traditional format,” he said, but also an opportunity to “display the department.”

While the Fine Arts library has hosted smaller exhibitions, it is the first time that class work is displayed in this fashion, Capps said.

OSU offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in studio arts. Graduate and undergraduate students can chose between seven emphasis areas: art and technology, ceramics, painting and drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture or glass.

Glass studios, together with other certain art facilities, are located in the Sherman Studio Art Center on West Campus.

The class taught by Capps, who is also an MFA candidate in the department, focused on Venetian and Scandinavian techniques.

Carson Wedlake, a sixth-year in glassblowing, has works on display at the Urban Arts Space’s Senior BFA exhibition until Dec. 20. He was also part of Capps’ class and has items on display in the Fine Arts library, focusing on visual appeal, shape and profile.

“Glass is the first synthetic material used by humans but it is not that much (artistically) explored,” Wedlake said.

Zac Weinberg, a graduate student who also teaches glassblowing, said the classes are not about producing glass.

“It’s about learning to be an artist. The world doesn’t need another vase. There is a lot still to be made,” he said, referring to innovative ways the medium could be used.

“Our lives are ruled by mass production,” Wedlake said. “I strive for novelty.”

Neil Messinger, a fourth-year in advertising whose works are part of the exhibition, said he “just fell in love” with glassblowing. In Capps’ course, a two-hour class is held once

a week as a demonstration of fundamental techniques, he said. Students then sign up for blow slots to apply their knowledge.

“John (Capps) is usually in the studio and comes from time to time,” Meissinger said of their lab sessions. “But we are mostly on our own.”

“It is an art that people overlook,” Messinger said. “But there are so many uses, so much functionality and aesthetics.”

Messinger said he uses the glass he makes. “I’ll probably end up using these,” he said, pointing at his goblets in the exhibition.

Only one item, which is partly shattered, is not suitable for home use.

“It’s called ‘If the Mind Can Imagine, the Hands Can Make It,’ and is a representation of myself going through the fail and error process,” Messinger said.

There is also a collaborative piece (a large jar filled with smaller chalices), which will be donated to the Fine Arts library, made by the class.

Sarah Falls, head of the Fine Arts library since January, said the exhibition is all about outreach.

“Libraries at OSU are very engaged with their departments,” she said.

Little Eater to inhabit its first big location in North Market MEGAN BUSKIRK Lantern reporter buskirk.29@osu.edu North Market is trying to keep things fresh with a new restaurant — and the restaurant has the same ideal when it comes to the food.

Little Eater, a produce-focused restaurant, is making its way to the North Market in January to open its first permanent location.

“The concept is the perfect balance of fresh, local and authentic — and that’s what North Market is all about,” North Market executive director Rick Harrison Wolfe said in an email.

Since 2012, Little Eater has served its customers as a pop-up shop in The Hills Markets downtown and in Worthington, owner and chef Cara Mangini said.

The restaurant will bring the North Market to full capacity, according to a press release.

It will be located in between North Market Cookware and Firdous Express.

As for the name, Mangini said her last name means “little eater” in Italian.

Mangini began her culinary career at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and has since cooked in France, Italy, Turkey and Napa Valley, Calif., according to a press release.

Everything at Little Eater is locally sourced and produce-inspired, she said.

The restaurant will feature salads priced by the scoop, soups, sandwiches, crostini (small toast appetizers), frittatas and an abundance of seasonal vegetables all year long, Mangini said.

“The scoop concept allows you to have a little bit of this and a little bit of that,” she said. “It’s beautiful, decadent, satisfying food. There’s no sacrifice in this food — the salads are hearty and balanced, whether you do them alone or pair them with something else.

“It’s big eating, actually,” she laughed.

Salads by the scoop range from $4 to $12. Prepackaged salads are $5. Sandwiches, frittatas and crostini can cost anywhere between $7 and $10, depending on what they’re paired with, Mangini said.

Additionally, Little Eater will serve a variety of baked goods. Chocolate chip cookies, buttermilk cheddar biscuits with honey butter and apple cake are among some of the restaurant’s sweet treats.

Mangini and her team also aim to highlight a variety of locally sourced vegetables.

“Our food really delivers the seasons,” she said. “I think there’s a peace of mind eating with us. We take really great care in sourcing these vegetables.”

For example, in the spring, Mangini serves seasonal vegetables such as asparagus and radishes. In the summer, heirloom tomatoes, squash, eggplant and beets are a part of Little Eater’s continuously changing menu.

The Little Eater — a new restaurant in the North Market — offers salads priced by the scoop.

“The idea is that we are connecting our customers to the work of local farmers,” Mangini said.

Wolfe said he is excited for Little Eater’s opening.

“Little Eater brings a delicious concept that will fill what I have seen as a void: a produce-driven lighter option in the market,” he said. “Cara’s passion for fresh and all things produce are a fantastic addition. I love the fact that without having a permanent home, Little Eater, in a very short time, has built a huge following in Central Ohio.”

Wolfe said Little Eater’s business plan with the North Market has been in the works for a couple of years.

Mangini said the North Market is the perfect fit for her restaurant.

“The North Market is such a gem in Columbus,” she said. “It’s exciting to be a part of that energy. The market and its history and heritage has so much to offer to the Columbus culture.”

Situated right beside Little Eater’s under-construction stall, North Market Cookware owner Kay Davenport said she’s thrilled to have Little Eater next door.

“I used to make special trips to the Hills Market just to get her salads,” Davenport said. “We are really excited.”

Ruthie Cathers, a third-year in environmental engineering, said she’s eager to try out Little Eater’s vegetable-based entrees.

“I cannot wait for this place,” Cathers said. “I think Little Eater will captivate many people in the North Market with its artistic take on healthy grub.”

Little Eater will be open Tuesday through Sunday. It will be open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m.

Sundays.

In front of a national audience and with a Big Ten title and possible spot in the College Football Playoff up for grabs, redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones took his place behind center for the Ohio State football team.

Jones had not started a football game since 2011 and the last time he played for a championship was in the 2009 OHSAA state title game, which he lost to Hilliard Davidson.

The Glenville High School product entered the 2014 season behind what would be two Heisman-candidate quarterbacks, yet when his name was called, he found a way to exceed even Urban Meyer’s expectations.

“I don’t use the word surprised. I guess I will use it for the first time, I was a little surprised,” Meyer said Sunday. “In that environment, I saw early in the game we did a good job managing the game with him.”

Jones completed 12 of 17 passes for 257 yards and three touchdown passes, which were all to senior wide receiver Devin Smith.

Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman had high praise for Smith’s performance.

“Best deep ball catcher in America that we have seen in a long time,” Herman said after the game. “He fought for the football. They weren’t perfect throws by any stretch.”

Smith’s touchdown receptions went for 39, 44 and 42 yards respectively, two of which required an acrobatic effort from the Massillon, Ohio, native. The wide receiver said he thought he would be poised for a big game the night before kickoff.

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones (12) carries the ball during the Big Ten Championship Game against Wisconsin on Dec. 6 in Indianapolis. OSU won, 59-0. and I just felt it. It was a rush that came through my body,” Smith said. “I just knew that I was ready.”

While Smith dazzled, it was Jones who stole the show as the Cleveland native took home Most Valuable Player honor for the game.

Jones replaced redshirt-freshman J.T. Barrett, who went out during a 42-28 win over Michigan on Nov. 29 with an injury, ending his season.

Barrett, who made his way around Lucas Oil Stadium on a scooter with his fractured right ankle elevated, said he was not surprised by how Jones responded in his first start.

“Definitely proud of him (Jones) and

he’s able to … just take over the moment,” Barrett said after the game. “He seized the moment, seized the opportunity and he did it as a team. It wasn’t just him, that was the great thing about it, he had help around him. And that’s the great thing about this team.”

Meyer gave a lot of the credit for Jones’ performance to Herman, who has now prepared four different quarterbacks for starts in his time at OSU. “Tom Herman is an excellent coach.

His unit the first year was very average. I talk about we got a Player of the Year in the Big Ten (in then-sophomore Braxton

Worth the wait Senior cornerback Doran Grant was among 24 seniors honored prior to OSU’s win over Michigan in the final game of the regular season, but it took a week longer for Grant and his classmates to put the final touch on their Buckeye résumés. The Akron native tallied a pair of interceptions — which he returned for 60 total yards — and made 3 tackles during the Buckeyes 59-0 win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 6. Not only did Grant’s play help his team lock up a conference title for the first time since he arrived in Columbus, but OSU also earned the 4th spot in the 1st-ever College Football Playoff.

james grega, jr. and tim moody Asst. sports editor and Sports editor grega.9@osu.edu and moody.178@osu.edu The Ohio State football team found out it was playoff-bound when the final College Football Playoff rankings were announced Sunday afternoon, but the Buckeyes wouldn’t have earned that spot without their drubbing of Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game a day earlier.

OSU (12-1, 8-0) topped the Badgers, 59-0, locking up its 35th Big Ten title. With a new quarterback in the lineup and having recently learned of the death of walk-on defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge, the Buckeyes’ dominating performance came as a surprise to many.

But surprise or not, The Lantern sports editors picked five key takeaways from the win that booked OSU’s ticket to the playoffs.

1. Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones didn’t miss a step Jones — starting in place of injured redshirtfreshman quarterback J.T. Barrett — completed an eight-yard pass to redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Michael Thomas on the first play of the game. Then five plays later, he heaved the ball downfield and found the hands of senior wide receiver Devin Smith for a 39-yard touchdown.

Less than two minutes is all it took for Jones to show everyone at Lucas Oil Stadium — and anyone watching on TV — that he did, in fact, go to Indianapolis to play football.

Throughout the game, the Glenville High School product showed off his world-class arm strength and surprisingly reliable accuracy and decision-making skills on his way to MVP honors.

Jones totaled 257 yards and three touchdowns as he completed 12 of 17 pass attempts in the game without turning the ball over. Anyone who predicted those numbers likely also predicated on OSU win, but with almost nothing to go off of, not many could have expected Jones to have the success he did.

It was a near flawless performance, and had he struggled, a win alone might not have been enough to get the Buckeyes to the playoffs.

2. Senior defensive lineman Michael Bennett might be the Buckeyes’ most important player Before Saturday, the argument could have been made that Barrett had been the main key to OSU’s success. But with the way Jones performed, a quick look to the defensive line shows who the Buckeyes’ true leader from a physical and emotional standpoint is.

Bennett donned No. 53 in honor of Karageorge, and played with a chip on his shoulder from start to finish. He tallied a career-high four tackles for loss

Buckeyes storm back to top Winthrop jordan boone Lantern reporter boone.136@osu.edu After a lackluster first half, the Ohio State women’s basketball team swung the momentum to defeat visiting Winthrop (S.C.), 66-52, on Sunday.

Coach Kevin McGuff said a renewed intensity allowed OSU to take control of the second half.

“We really attacked a lot better in the second half,” McGuff said.

“We got more stops, more turnovers (that) allowed us to play in transition a little bit more, and overall generated more quality shots.”

The Buckeyes (5-4) opened the game with a 9-3 run in the first five minutes of the half. Winthrop (4-3, 1-0) rallied back, though, and score 10 unanswered points to take the lead. The Eagles continued to roll on a 14-2 run to take its largest lead of the game with the score at 17-11. OSU fought back and was able to retake the lead following an 11-4 run led by freshman guard Kelsey Mitchell. Both teams traded

baskets until the end of the half as Winthrop took a 27-26 lead into halftime.

Mitchell scored 17 of OSU’s 26 points in the first half. As a team, the Buckeyes shot 42.9 percent from the field while Winthrop shot 40 percent, but OSU was out-rebounded by the Eagles, 19-12.

OSU took the lead at the beginning of the second half off a 3-pointer from junior guard Cait Craft. The Eagles tied the game on their next possession, but the Buckeyes went on an 18-7 run to take control.

Winthrop continued to push, though, and was able to cut the OSU lead down to five with less than 10 minutes to play. OSU closed the game out, tough, as they scored 12 unanswered points while forcing six turnovers over a seven-minute span.

Mitchell led all scorers with 26 points to go along with three rebounds, four assists and four steals. After a scoreless first half, junior guard Ameryst Alston bounced back with 12 points and five

sports Playoff from 1A coached. But he added they still have room to grow with the playoff looming.

“We’re not a finished product,” he said Sunday. “There’s too many young players out there … the future’s very bright, though.”

Grant said the team recognizes it has room to grow, and added that has helped the Buckeyes on their path to the playoff and a matchup with the top team in the nation.

“That makes us better,” he said of playing through adversity. “Having to fight, having to be together, having to depend on one another even more knowing that we already had one loss early in the year.”

And now after overcoming that loss on the field — and losses off of it — Grant said OSU will take on the Crimson Tide with the same attitude it had against the Badgers.

“Play with a chip on our shoulders, and that’s what we did last night, too,” Grant said Sunday.

“Gotta play angry, because we need that respect,

we want that respect for Ohio State. Because that’s what Ohio State deserves.”

Meyer said he didn’t initially expect the Buckeyes to be in the position they are before the season started. He added that he feels the team has proven what it can do, but he didn’t realize that until the blowout of the Badgers.

“I started seeing it but I didn’t believe it completely until the experience we had on Saturday night,” Meyer said.

While his coach said he realized how far the Buckeyes had come while still in Indianapolis, Grant said it took until Sunday to fully grasp what the team has accomplished, and to turn its attention to what lies ahead.

“Last night was kinda like, ‘Man, what just happened?’” Grant said Sunday. “But then now, it’s all coming. We see it on TV, we’re in the four spot, we see our name by that four. So now it’s real, it’s legit and we’re ready to take on this challenge.”

OSU and Alabama are scheduled to play on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m.

Charm from 7A Miller), but as a unit they weren’t very strong,” Meyer said. “Kenny Guiton got better and better. Now it’s one of the strongest units on the team. He’s done a marvelous job. But Cardale is a veteran player that was immature when he first got on campus and has really matured. Obviously Tom gets a lot of credit for that.”

Herman, however, said he was not surprised at the performance Jones had on the big stage.

“He delivered just like I thought he would. We worked all week to make sure his confidence level was up, that he prepared like a pro, which he did,” Herman said after the game. “He did all those things and when you do all those things, it fills you with confidence.”

Herman went as far to say that he was so confident in Jones that he “slept like a baby” the night before the game.

“Not to sound coy or overconfident, but

we got a good team. We got a great staff, a great head coach we got a great culture, and the quarterback position is just one piece of that puzzle,” Herman said. “I have a ton of confidence in the guy (Jones) that I coach because I am around him the most and he proved me right. I slept pretty easy last night.”

For Jones, the road doesn’t get any easier as the Buckeyes are set to take on the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide in the inaugural College Football Playoff.

Meyer said having coached against Alabama’s coach Nick Saban for years in the Southeastern Conference, he knows what lies ahead for the Buckeyes.

“We have to be on point to beat this team. I know exactly what I am going to see when I flip on the film,” Meyer said.

The Buckeyes and Crimson Tide are set to meet in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. in New Orleans.

to go along with two sacks, and forced a fumble that was recovered and returned for a touchdown by sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa.

Bennett had made mid-game speeches to spark the Buckeyes more than once this season, but it was clear that his play on the field — and leadership on the sidelines — helped key OSU to arguably its most important win since the 2002 National Championship Game.

rebounds. Craft ended up with eight points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals.

Alston said the team came out in the second half with more energy compared to the first.

“I think we adjusted very well today,” Alston said. “I would say the first half, collectively, intensity could’ve been a little better but we stayed focused and picked it up the second half.”

Mitchell said the lack of team offense in the first half was just a case of things not turning out for the Buckeyes. She added that she trusts her teammates to be productive and saw more of that in the second half.

“I just think things didn’t go the way we wanted,” Mitchell said. “I know my teammates can make plays just like anybody else out here. For them to score like that in the second half was a great thing.”

OSU is next scheduled to play Arkansas State on Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

3. Sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott simply outplayed Wisconsin’s Heisman candidate Wisconsin redshirt-junior running back Melvin Gordon is likely going to be a Heisman Trophy finalist as the nation’s top rusher, but on Saturday he wasn’t even the best player at his position on the field.

OSU’s Elliott broke Gordon’s own Big Ten title game record with 220 rushing yards, and he did it on just 20 carries. Gordon managed just 76 yards on his 26 attempts and couldn’t help the Badgers put points on the board, while Elliott scored 12 points on his own.

Through 13 games, Elliott has tallied 1,402 rushing yards on 217 carries with 12 touchdowns while adding 26 receptions for another 208 yards through the air.

Elliott’s play of late has drawn comparisons to former Buckeye Carlos Hyde, and if he keeps improving, he could easily end up having an even better collegiate career.

5. Deserving of the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff The Buckeyes leapfrogged Texas Christian to get into the inaugural College Football Playoff and they deserve it.

OSU put up a 59 spot on the second-best defense in the country and held the nation’s leading rusher to a 2.9 yards per carry average.

The Horned Frogs did indeed dominate the Iowa State Cyclones, but it doesn’t help that the Cyclones entered that game 2-9 on the season.

It also hurt the Big 12 in that they no longer have a conference championship game. Do not be surprised if the Big 12 isn’t actively looking for two new members before the start of next season.

The Buckeyes put on a clinic in the conference title game and will now get a shot at the No. 1 team in the country in Alabama.

Nick Saban versus Urban Meyer is must-see TV and you can bet all eyes will be on the Superdome on Jan. 1 for the Sugar Bowl. Kickoff in New Orleans is set for 8:30 p.m.

It’s Touchdown Monday!

4. The Buckeye defense answered the Bell and then some Sophomore safety Vonn Bell, along with the rest of the Buckeye defense, lived up to their “Silver Bullet” mantra Saturday night.

Bell, who tied for the team lead in tackles against Wisconsin with seven, recorded his fifth interception for the season late in the first quarter to set the tone for the Buckeye defense.

The Buckeyes not only held Wisconsin redshirt-junior quarterback Joel Stave to 187 yards passing on 17 of 43 through the air, but they also shut down potential Heisman finalist Gordon all night long.

For an OSU defense to perform like they did on the biggest stage in the Big Ten conference showed that the Buckeyes are…
