The Ohio State athletic department self-reported 24 minor violations in the second half of 2013.
KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design “Our whole thing is if we have 10 (violations), I’d have a problem. I mean, I really would because people are going to make mistakes. And that means if I only have 10 out of 350 employees (and) 1,000 athletes – something’s not right.”
ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu The Ohio State athletic department self-reported 24 minor violations in the second half of 2013, including nine for “impermissible” phone calls, text messages and emails to prospective student-athletes, as well as three violations for various involvement in conditioning and summer camp activities. The figures are a result of an open records request submitted Thursday by The Lantern and released Friday by the OSU public records office. None of the violations are considered major, but the report included 19 violations that included “prospective student-athletes.” The last 2013 violation was reported Nov. 6. In each case, the school proposed its own corrective action to either the Big Ten or NCAA, who accepted the proposals but at times, offered further recommendations to each sport. Common resolutions include issuing a letter of education to the respective coaching staff and restraining them from contacting the prospective student-athletes for a period of time, usually two weeks. The football program, however, was only restricted to one week of no contact for impermissible phone calls. OSU athletic director and Vice President Gene Smith said the school typically has “about 40” selfreported secondary violations annually during an interview with The Lantern May 15, 2012. “On an annual basis, we have about 40 (violations),” Smith said. “It ranges in that area we’re sitting at. In that 40 range is where we always hang.
Football Reported June 27 The Compliance Office determined there to be seven impermissible phone calls to prospective student-athletes and/or their parents after an April 2013 review of phone records between Aug. 1, 2012, and March 1, 2013. The report states they were the result of inadvertent “pocket dials.” Reported Nov. 4 A member of the coaching staff was reported to have used a smokeless tobacco product during a game, violating NCAA bylaws. Men’s Volleyball Reported July 15 Coach Pete Hanson sent letters to two prospective student-athletes in March 2013 that promised them athletically related financial aid. At the time each athlete received said letter, they had not yet reached their senior years in high school. Women’s Volleyball Reported July 15 Coach Geoff Carlston made an impermissible telephone call to a prospective student-athlete who was a sophomore in high school on Oct. 8, 2012. On April 24, an assistant coach replied to an email from a prospective student-athlete who was a sophomore in high school.

Some students at Ohio State are questioning their safety after a reported rape was marked as a “continuing threat” by University Police. Recent information about a rape, which happened between 2:15 and 2:40 a.m. Jan. 25 in a South Campus residence hall, and the suspect — who reportedly returned to the residence hall since the incident — caused police officers to believe there is a “continuing threat,” a University Police public safety notice issued Friday said. The suspect was described by witnesses as a black man with a “wide” build, between 18 and 20 years old and standing between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has short, black hair and a lighter, pockmarked complexion with scars “over most of his face,” including a possible scar over an eyebrow, and he was last seen wearing a Cincinnati Bengals sweatshirt, according to the notice. It is unknown whether the suspect is an OSU affiliate, University Police Chief Paul Denton said Friday. While the suspect’s return to the residence hall was not last week, Denton said the forensics reports from the initial incident came back last week and partly led to the decision to release a public safety notice. The suspect “was attempting to contact the victim when he returned,” Denton said in an email Sunday. There were no new developments in the case over the weekend, he added. The case is being actively investigated as part of “a wide-ranging and in-depth criminal investigation,” the notice said. Nicole Moore, a first-year in linguistics who lives in Baker Hall East, said the public safety notice “surprised” her. “I feel pretty uncomfortable actually,” she said Sunday. “This is the first day I’ve gone by myself to go do something (since the notice was sent), and I feel like it’s kinda weird that it’s so late that we’ve been notified.” The notice was sent about 27 days after the rape reportedly occurred. Moore said she’s seen a slight change in behavior around her residence hall since the notice was sent to students Friday. “I noticed a lot more people are kind of staying in their rooms, and my roommate and I are locking our

Signs are posted at residence hall entrances advising students to follow building access policies. door constantly, like even if we go to the bathroom,” Moore said. Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president for Student Life, issued a statement to the OSU community about the incident in her weekly online column Sunday. “I hope you have seen and read the public safety notice that was issued on Friday … While incidents of crime on our campus are unwanted and unfortunate, you should know that the university is steadfastly dedicated to the safety of our campus community,” the column read. “The intent of public safety notices is not put undue stress on the community. However, they help underscore the importance of being cautious, aware and committed to contributing to the safety of Ohio State and our surrounding communities.” Adams-Gaston also included a list of safety tips, like reporting anyone “who has not followed security protocol when entering a residence hall,” locking all doors and windows regardless of where a student lives and not allowing others to enter residence halls without showing an ID. Moore said she witnesses people letting others into residence halls frequently. “There’s always kind of people standing around outside and you think you’re being nice by letting them in,” she said. “You feel really weird if you just leave them there.” Other students who live on South Campus said they see it often as well. “I see it happen a lot actually. I try not to do it. If I

Policy change Support available for students with eating disorders allows grads to work longer ALEX DRUMMER Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu
MATT HOMAN Lantern reporter homan.94@osu.edu A revision to the Ohio State Office of Human Resources’ employment policy could give graduating seniors a little more time to earn money while searching for a post-grad job. This year the policy allows student employees who graduate at the end of Spring Semester to continue working in their positions through Aug. 6, the last day of exams for Summer Semester. Previously, that cut-off date was the last day of the month-long May Session, which would have been May 30 this year. According to the Office of Human Resources’ student employment policy, a student employee is defined as “an individual who is enrolled at the university on a full-time or part-time basis, appointed to a position designated as student employment and associated with the university primarily in the pursuit of an academic degree.” The policy states students can work for one “off” academic term when they are not enrolled in each academic year. For many graduating students, that means summer. However, after the switch from quarters to semesters before the 2012-13 academic year and the creation of the Maymester term, graduates were only permitted to work through the duration of Maymester, Kerry Francis, a spokeswoman for the Office of Human Resources, said. Francis said that was a problem. “It was an issue that was noticed during the first summer after the transition. Departments all over campus were letting us know they needed more employees during the summer term,” Francis said. The policy, revised Feb. 1, states “student employees who graduate Spring Semester may retain their student employee status until the last day of final examinations for the Summer Term.” “(The policy change) was a collective agreement, and it ensures we (the university) can meet our business needs,” Francis said. The terms of employment also say student

“I think you’ll run into this with anyone you talk to who has had an eating disorder: that voice never goes away. There’s always a constant struggle.” Kelsi Schwall, a second-year graduate student in occupational therapy, started her struggle with an eating disorder at about age 16, and though she’s 23, now with her condition under control, she said it’s still not easy. National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is from Feb. 23 to March 1, but for students at Ohio State struggling with eating disorders or counselors helping these students, it’s a year-round issue. Schwall said her busy life in high school and her need for control had a hand in the development of an eating disorder. “I’ve always been a perfectionist, so I think that was a major part of it. I always tried to push myself really hard in school. I was in way too many things,” she said. Schwall said it was six months to a year before she got help, and her mom was the one who made sure she received it. “My mom was probably my biggest supporter through all of it. She knew that there was something wrong, probably just like a mother’s intuition kind of deal,” she said. Schwall said she tried a variety of different treatments for her eating disorder throughout high school and her time as an undergraduate student at OSU, including participating in individualized therapy at OSU’s Younkin Success Center. Holly Davis, a senior staff therapist at Younkin whose focus area is eating disorders, said there are “multiple first steps” a student seeking treatment could take. Davis said individuals on staff take the severity of a student’s concerns, as well as the students’ resources — like their transportation needs and financial status — into consideration when helping assess the best option for each person. Treatments for eating disorders are covered by OSU’s student health insurance, but the cost of treatment varies on a case-by-case basis, said Dave Isaacs, Student Life spokesman. However, features such as 10 free counseling sessions available to students per academic year and unlimited group therapy are in place to make sure students can get help, Davis said. “Ultimately, if a student really needs treatment,
they really need treatment, so on a case-by-case basis, we kind of figure it out (in order) to get that student what they need,” Davis said. One of the services offered at OSU for students seeking help is the Eating Disorder Treatment Team, which is comprised of dietitians, therapists and physicians, Davis said. “The treatment team is really a place for those providers who potentially have students that they share in serving to come together and make sure we’re all on the same page,” Davis said. The Body Image and Health Task Force also works to advocate for positive body image at OSU by holding freshmen seminars on body image and health and speaking to students in student organizations like sororities or athletic teams, said Nancy Rudd, professor in fashion and retail studies and chair of the task force. The task force does outreach all year long but also sponsors the Body Image Bazaar, along with several other departments and organizations, for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Rudd said. This year’s bazaar is slated to take place Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the lower level of the RPAC. Attendees can expect informational tables, brochures, informational DVDs being played on loop and the chance to take assessments to see the state of their body image or evaluate their eating habits, Rudd said. The event has grown over the past 16 years, and last year’s event drew more than 600 people, Rudd said. “It’s very intense visually, a lot information educationally and a lot of opportunities for students and faculty and staff to engage in these selfassessments,” Rudd said. Along with the formal treatment services,
students at OSU who might be struggling with body image, or who simply care about the cause, also have the opportunity to be involved in a student organization, Body Sense, that Schwall started in 2010. “We teach people that being happy and being healthy isn’t about being a certain size,” said Autumn Blatt, a fourth-year in psychology and president of Body Sense. Although some members of Body Sense have struggled with eating disorders and the group provides a safe space to talk about those issues, the organization is meant for all students, Schwall said. “I’ve been trying to recruit people this year by letting them know that sometimes the meetings are just provocative conversations, just kind of criticizing or discussing certain things that are related to (negative body image),” said Zach Thomas, a first-year graduate student in middle childhood education and treasurer of Body Sense. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, about 20 million women and 10 million men in the U.S. suffer from eating disorders at some point in their lives. “I think we live in a world that talks about obesity and weight gain as these horrible, horrible things,” Davis said. “I do wonder how much of that creates fear in people that ‘if I’m not a particular size, bad things will happen or people won’t like me.’” Blatt also said society’s focus on obesity is a problem and added that there is not enough conversation about what weight is too low. “Our society is so geared towards not being overweight, and no one ever gives you a lower

Violations from 1A Carlston replied to a text message from a prospective student-athlete in February 2013 who was a junior in high school. Carlston mistakenly thought it was an email, not a text. Reported July 29 Two incoming prospective student-athletes — one in women’s volleyball and the other in men’s soccer — participated in voluntary workouts conducted by an OSU strength coach while not enrolled at OSU. A total of three incoming student-athletes were employed as volunteers at the LiFE Sports Camp June 26. All three were enrolled in summer school, but were still considered prospective studentathletes in terms of employment. Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Reported Aug. 1 A women’s hockey volunteer coach was involved with a local sports club that had multiple prospective student-athletes residing outside a permitted 50-mile radius of the university. On May 7, the coach provided a private lesson to a current member of the women’s team, and while also serving as a volunteer coach for the men’s ice hockey team from 2009-11, the coach provided three student-athletes
Humanities, which existed prior to the College of Arts & Sciences) accepted a request to increase/ improve space for the department in 2005,” Shari Speer, chairwoman of the Department of Linguistics, said in an email. Brian Joseph, a professor of linguistics, said expansion is necessary for the department. “We’ve been needing to get more space because the department has been growing and we have special space needs for laboratory facilities,” he said. Boehm, who is part of the group of OSU faculty leading the Discovery Themes initiative, said Pomerene and Oxley halls are ideal locations for the data analytics program because of their position on Neil Avenue, where they’re close to both the academic core and the OSU Wexner Medical Center. He also said it was about time the buildings received renovations. Pomerene Hall was completed in 1922 as a place of leisure for women on campus and contains a swimming pool that is no longer used.

Reported July 19 On both March 25 and May 7, coach Tom Ryan made two impermissible phone calls to 2014 prospective student-athletes.
Women’s Golf Reported Sept. 12 On June 25, coach Therese Hession accepted a Facebook friend request from a 2016 prospective student-athlete.
Women’s Lacrosse Reported July 23 On Oct. 17, 2012, coach Alexis Venechanos made an impermissible phone call to a prospective student-athlete in the 2015 class.
Synchronized Swimming Reported July 9 Members of the synchronized swimming team posted photos of prospective student-athletes they were hosting to both Facebook and Instagram on Oct. 21, 2012. The photos that were posted were then commented on by the student-athletes and coach Holly Vargo-Brown. On Jan. 10, 2013, the Compliance Office approved and provided what was determined to be an official visit for a prospective student-athlete who had not yet been registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Men’s Soccer Reported July 29 Two incoming prospective student-athletes — one in men’s soccer and the other in women’s volleyball — participated in voluntary workouts conducted by an OSU strength coach while not being enrolled at OSU. Women’s Soccer Reported July 25 An assistant coach made an impermissible phone call to a 2015 prospective student-athlete March 26. An assistant coach and an assistant director of compliance distributed camp postcards at a soccer tournament May 4.

employees can work up to 28 hours per week during terms in which they are enrolled and 38 hours per week during their “off” academic term and official school breaks. The extra days afforded by the policy change, though, are not guaranteed for everyone. “The change applies to all student employees, but it’s always up to the discretion of the employer as far as who stays on and how many hours the employee works,” Francis said. Dulith Hewa, a fourth-year in industrial engineering who is set to graduate in May and who works as a student manager at Union Market in the Ohio Union, said the policy change was a good idea. “It’s a good idea, because I think that most people don’t get a job right after they graduate,” Hewa said. He is currently trying to get a job after he graduates, but he said the extra couple of months could be a big help for any student employee graduates still searching for a job.

If I’m not working a civil engineering job, I need to make some money. I may look into taking a few more credit hours or getting an internship,” Artan said. Artan worked in student security at William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library for a year and has spent the last two years as an assistant at the 18th Avenue Library. Francis said the policy change has the potential to help both employers and employees. “This was a great way to take care of the needs of the university, but also help our students transition to the real world,” she said.

Vice provost for academic and strategic planning Michael Boehm said Pomerene and Oxley halls are perfect locations for a data analytics program because of their position on Neil Avenue on the border of the Wexner Medical Center
e
Pomerene and Oxley halls might soon be renovated to make room for a new Ohio State data analytics program, and along the way, a few departments in the buildings might find themselves looking for new locations. Pomerene Hall currently houses the Department of History of Art, Student Life’s Disability Services and the Mirror Lake Creamery & Grill. Oxley Hall contains the Department of Linguistics and the Office of International Affairs. It’s uncertain where any of the departments would move at this time, vice provost for academic and strategic planning Michael Boehm, said. The Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission’s 2015-16 state funding recommendations included $52.8 million for the renovations of Oxley and Pomerene, which would allow them to house a “new comprehensive data analytics program,” according to an OSU press release. The new program is set to be part of the university’s Discovery Themes initiative.
The Discovery Themes initiative, which was launched in October 2012, targets health and wellness, energy and environment, food production and security, areas identified by some OSU officials as university priority areas. The $400 million plan includes expanding research and hiring new faculty. Boehm said the designing of the renovations is not set to begin until the money to remodel the buildings is given to OSU by the state of Ohio. “Nobody’s moving anywhere until we’re done with design,” Boehm said. For some departments, this won’t be the first move in recent years, as the Department of History of Art has moved three in the past four years, from Hayes Hall to Pomerene in 2010, then to Smith Lab for two quarters before transitioning back to Pomerene, according to a College of Arts and Sciences release. A History of Art representative declined to comment on the possibility of another move. Some who work in the buildings said a change of location would be welcome. “The linguistics department has needed a larger space for years, and the (College of

extreme,” Blatt said. Schwall said the stigma of eating disorders is also a problem. “Eating disorders can be triggered by just a normal diet. You just start taking out less and less, and until you are rail thin, no one says anything, and once you are to that point, now it’s not socially acceptable, and they’re still not going to say anything,” Schwall said. Eating disorders and negative body image are problems that can start a young age. According to NEDA, 81 percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat, and more than one-half of teenage girls and about one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors.

I see other people who let people in all the time,” said Connor Plensdorf, a first-year in security and intelligence and Arabic who lives in Smith-Steeb Hall. “I try to tell my friends and stuff not to let people in.” Heather Rebol, a second-year in human nutrition who lives in the Residence on 10th, said she hasn’t felt unsafe since the safety notice was issued. “I’ve never had a problem in the dorms. It’s actually really quiet in Residence on 10th, you really just see the people you live with and everyone kind of keeps their doors closed and kind of keeps to themselves,” Rebol said. University spokesman Doug Haddix said Friday signs have been posted in residence hall buildings in response to the issuing of a public safety notice. “University Housing staff are reminding residents to exercise caution and follow building access policies. Signage is being posted at hall entrances and resident advisers are communicating directly with students on their floors,” Haddix said in an emailed university statement. “In addition to our highly trained law enforcement officials, the university’s residence hall staff and other staff members are trained to recognize, identify and respond to signs of sexual harassment and assault.” The statement also included the resources available for students who have been sexually assaulted. “When an incident is reported, the Ohio State Police Division immediately begins a rigorous investigation,” Haddix said. “(Students) are encouraged

Pomerene from 2A “It’s an old building, part of our history. I think it’s pretty cool through,” said Ben Gorski, a second-year in chemistry. Gorski had a class in Pomerene during Fall Semester and currently works in Oxley Hall in the Office of International Affairs. But some said Oxley isn’t kept in the best shape — Joseph said the basement of Oxley is moldy, with damp areas and leaking pipes. Oxley was completed in 1908 as the first residence hall for women. Speer said if the linguistics department is
to report cases of sexual harassment and assault and to take action if they have reason to believe someone else is being or has been assaulted. Survivors of sexual assault are provided a wide variety of support and services including Student Life’s counseling, advocacy, wellness and health services, the Sexual Violence Education and Support team and financial assistance through the Sexual Violence Assistance Fund.” The notice advised anyone with information about the suspect to contact University Police. Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said Friday while residence hall staff members weren’t being required to have an official meeting with their residents, he expected staff would “be mindful of and reinforce the safety messages.” Individuals listed on the report either referred The Lantern to Isaacs for comment, did not provide comment or did not respond to an email requesting comment. Five rapes have been reported on OSU’s campus since the start of the academic year, all of which are listed as “investigation pending” on the University Police daily log. About 237,870 people are sexually assaulted each year in the U.S., according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network website. Denton said sexual assault is an issue University Police takes seriously. “We want to be very certain before we put out information,” he said. “We have to establish the facts of what happened before sending out a public safety notice … (The) facts to the best of our knowledge.”
The transition to college can also contribute to poor eating habits. “You’re on your own (in college), and it’s a whole lot easier to not get caught,” Schwall said. “My parents would call me out. My roommates didn’t know the difference.” Schwall said college students need to be more educated on the subject, and she said she enjoys informing and assisting others. This is Schwall’s last semester of graduate school, and she said that is what is keeping her on track with her health. “I had an eating disorder in undergrad and I’m not going to do that in grad school,” she said. “This is the hardest academic semester of my career, but I’m going to do it.”

studentvoice Students remember John Mount Mount’s service made ‘college life unforgettable’ COPY Chief
I watched endless tweets from my friends pour in Thursday, each one trying to put into 140 characters the seemingly impossible. MICHELE THEODORE How do theodore.13@osu.edu you thank a person for shaping your college career in 140 short characters? How do you express the impact of a life in something as insignificant as a tweet? But wrapped up in all these tweets were
simple words: legacy, incredible, honor, service — and sadly, goodbye. This weekend my friends and I said goodbye to John Mount, the man who helped start our scholars group and the man who always met us with a smile on his face. Mount Leadership Society — named after his late wife Ruth — made me a better person. I met people who pushed me to do more and volunteered right beside them for two years and through my time, I also got the chance to meet John Mount. John Mount, who always had a sparkle in his eye and who always held my hand as he asked me how things were going at Ohio State. John Mount, who in his 95 years changed hundreds of lives — beyond even the scope of my scholars group — and loved the university more than anyone I’ve ever met because he saw promise in students.
He touched many lives and while many of us only got the opportunity to meet John Mount a few times, he was instrumental in bringing us together and he showed me what one person can do. Watching those tweets come in, I realized one person can make a difference. So here, in a few more than 140 characters, is a thank you to John Mount. Thank you for helping make my college life unforgettable and thank you for showing me what it means to be passionate. Thank you for just being you.

We will never be able to put into words exactly what John Mount meant to the Mount Leadership Society. The Mount Leadership Society was created in 1999 to honor Ruth Weimer Mount’s legacy at Ohio State. Ruth Mount was the assistant dean of women at OSU in 1953 and the first dean of students in 1968. She was extremely dedicated to service and leadership — traits important to the Mount Leadership Society today. For students that never knew Ruth Mount, the connection lived on in her husband John. Everyone involved knew how much he cared about the program and its students. While having ties to many different aspects of OSU,
Anytime he was at an event, you would see students lining up just to speak with him for a minute and take a picture.
and sent a gift basket to students on the Washington, D.C., trip over spring break. John Mount meant the world to students as well. Anytime he was at an event, you would see students lining up just to speak with him for a minute and take a picture. The loss of John Mount, who died at the age of 95 Thursday, came during one of Mount’s most important yearly events, Legacy Week. Legacy Week is a time for first-year students to embody the traits of leadership and service Ruth Mount cherished by creating service events of their own. This year, Mount students will be carrying on another legacy, that of John Mount. John Mount, us Mounties will never forget you and we will remember you. You will live on forever in our hearts.
John Mount always had a special place in his heart for the Mount Leadership Society. His love for the program was revealed in his actions. John Mount attended many major Mount events every year, including Welcome Week activities and the year-end Celebration Ceremony. He took Mounties out for lunch during Mount’s Leadership Month in October, www.thelantern.com

Junior forward Sam Thompson dunks the ball. OSU beat Minnesota, 64-46, Feb. 22 at the Schottenstein Center.
Ohio State was lifeless. Outscored, outplayed and outhustled in the first 20 minutes against Minnesota Saturday, the Buckeyes found themselves trailing 28-18 at the break after their lowest scoring output in a first half this season. Then Sam Thompson found his touch. The OSU junior forward exploded in the second half against the Golden Gophers, tallying 16 of game-high 19 points after the break to launch the Buckeyes to a 64-46 victory. “I’m getting into a pretty good rhythm right now,” Thompson said after the win. “It’s a desperation game from here on out. Every game we play is desperation, every game we play is a must-win situation. When you play like you have to win, when you play like there’s no tomorrow, good things are going to happen.” That’s exactly how the No. 24-ranked Buckeyes (22-6, 9-6, tied for fourth in the Big Ten) looked in the second half against Minnesota (17-11, 6-9, tied for seventh in the Big Ten). Flying around the court, Thompson was everywhere — throwing down three thunderous dunks that ignited the crowd and all but dashed the Gophers’ hopes. “He’s a good player. I love Sam, I recruited him at Florida and I think he’s a really good player,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said after the game,
referring to when he was an assistant coach at Florida under coach Billy Donovan from 2009-11. “And I wanted him at Florida. So I knew the potential and he’s a good player.” Thompson finished the game shooting 7-12 from the field, aided in the second half by OSU’s ability to force turnovers and get out and score in transition. “It’s funny because I told our guys look, we got zero steals at halftime. We end up with seven. Our activity defensively wasn’t there,” OSU coach Thad Matta said postgame. “Sam — we got out in transition and they lost him a couple times and he’s pretty good at finding the seams there.” At times this year, the Buckeyes have struggled to score, but in their last two games, Thompson has averaged 15 points, and shot 64.7 percent from the floor, including 55.5 percent from three-point land. Since he was inserted into the starting lineup Feb. 1 against Wisconsin in lieu of junior guard Shannon Scott, Thompson and the Buckeyes are 6-1, with the lone loss coming to then-No. 15 Michigan Feb. 11, 70-60, in Columbus. As the regular season begins to come to a close and OSU fights for seeding in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, it might be Thompson who breaks out and becomes that second scorer the team has desperately needed all year, aside from junior forward LaQuinton Ross. “I hope that he is. I think that

Women’s basketball snaps 5-game skid on Senior Day JAMES GREGA JR. Lantern reporter grega.9@osu.edu For the first time in the month of February, the Ohio State women’s basketball team came away victorious. Putting to rest its five-game losing streak, OSU defeated the Northwestern Wildcats, 71-62, Sunday, its first win since taking down Illinois Jan. 30. OSU also sent five players out with a win in their last home game on Senior Day as Buckeyes as four seniors — centers Ashley Adams and Darryce Moore, forward Martina Ellerbe and redshirt-senior center Aleksandra Dobranic — all went out on top at the Schottenstein Center. It was also the final game at home for redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion, who elected to forgo her senior season to continue her education in medical school. The Buckeyes (15-15, 5-9) came out on fire shooting 48.5 percent from the field, including five 3-pointers, en route to a 41-21 halftime lead. “That was as good of a half that we have had in a long time,” OSU coach Kevin McGuff said following the win. “We were good offensively and defensively and efficient in both ways.” The second half however, was a different story.

Sophomore guard Ameryst Alston (14) looks to drive to the basket during a game against Nebraska Feb. 20 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 67-59. OSU nearly let its lead slip away in the final minutes as the Wildcats (14-13, 4-10) trimmed a 24-point, second-half Buckeye lead down to five with 53 seconds remaining. “Our concentration really lacked at times in the second half,” McGuff said. “We got good shots … but we did not make them.” Northwestern coach Joe McKeown said if his team could have played the whole game the way they did in the second half, they would have had a chance to win the game.
“We just buried ourselves in the first half,” McKeown said. “We tried to keep fighting back and we (needed a) third 20-minute period but it is a 40-minute game.” OSU was led by sophomore guard Ameryst Alston who scored 18 of her game-high 30 points in the first half hitting 7-9 from the field. It was the second straight 30-point game for Alston, who scored 31 points in OSU’s 67-59 loss against No. 17 Nebraska Thursday.
Despite her impressive performance, Alston said she, like most of the team, was focused on sending the seniors out with a win. “The seniors were most important,” Alston said. “Obviously we focused on the game but we really wanted to get that win and make the seniors go out right.” The five Buckeye seniors, who were honored prior to the start of the game, combined for 26 points including 13 from Ellerbe who said she could not believe it was her last game in the Schottenstein Center. “It was really emotional,” Ellerbe said. “It has been four years that we have played here and we have had tremendous support from everybody … to know that this is the last game that we are going to have in this gym, it was like a crazy thought.” With the home schedule concluded, McGuff made a point to thank fans in postgame interviews for their support. “We had a lot of great support this year from our fans,” McGuff said. “With a new head coach and a new staff, I am really appreciative of the fans embracing what we have done and what we are trying to do.” The Buckeyes are set to return to action Thursday against the Iowa Hawkeyes (21-7, 9-5) in Iowa City, Iowa. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
Men’s lacrosse takes down Marquette, 11-7, in first win of season BRETT AMADON Lantern reporter amadon.2@osu.edu An improvement in the faceoff circle hurt proved vital to the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team, which was searching for its first win of the season. The Buckeyes turned around their previous faceoff woes Saturday, taking down Marquette 11-7. Despite falling behind 2-1 early in the first period, senior attackman Adam Trombley and the Buckeyes got in a rhythm offensively, scoring six unanswered goals to help propel them to a 7-4 lead at half. Trombley, who finished the game with two goals, said the Buckeyes did a good job of distributing the ball and helped the offense develop some success. “When we were moving the ball and stayed in our offense, it seemed to work,” Trombley said. “They were good (at) pressuring us and when we didn’t move our feet, we threw the ball away … when we got a lot of touches to everyone, that’s when it worked the best.” Refusing to let Marquette back in the game, OSU turned to junior midfielder Jesse King, who found the back of the net four times after being held scoreless in the Buckeye’s previous game against Massachusetts. One difference-maker for the Buckeyes Saturday was the improvement at the faceoff circle. Coming into the game, OSU was 13-51 in its

Junior midfielder Turner Evans tosses a pass to a teammate during a game against Marquette Feb. 22 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. OSU won, 11-7. previous two losses against Johns Hopkins and Massachusetts. However, freshman midfielder Jake Withers stepped up for the Buckeyes, winning 14 of 21 faceoffs against Marquette. “We had a guy step up,” OSU coach Nick Myers said. “We liked the way (Withers) matched up in this
situation and he took full advantage of the opportunity. I was really proud of the way he went after it.” Defensively, the Buckeyes were led by their co-captains as senior defenseman Joe Meurer caused three turnovers and senior goaltender Greg Dutton stopped nine shots, including two late in the fourth quarter.
“Greg did a nice job limiting (Marquette) to three goals in the second half,” Myers said. “He’s worked hard all week. He knows he wants to continue to improve as the season goes on, and I think he took a step in the right direction today.” Dutton said the defense as a whole improved from the previous two losses. “I was seeing the ball a little bit better,” Dutton said. “Our defense did a good job when we played in our system. (Marquette) got a couple ones that we would like back, but overall I thought we did a pretty good job.” Overall, the Buckeyes were led in scoring by King, who totaled his second six point game of the season after registering four goals and two assists, and sophomore attackman Carter Brown, who scored one goal and dished out three assists. Up next, OSU plays host to future Big Ten rival Penn State, and Trombley said despite the win against Marquette, there are still areas where the Buckeyes need to improve. “From an offensive standpoint, we’ve got to work on footwork and being strong with the ball,” Trombley said. “We had way too many turnovers for us today … It’s just working on being confident with ball and keep moving.” The game against Penn State is set to get under way Saturday at 1 p.m.

sports OSU men’s volleyball sweeps home series against Grand Canyon ZOE CHRYSOCHOOS Lantern reporter chrysochoos.2@osu.edu
JOHNATHAN MCALLISTER / Lantern photographer
Freshman outsider hitter Miles Johnson (13) attempts to spike the ball during a match against Grand Canyon Feb. 21 at St. John Arena. OSU won, 3-0.
The Buckeyes were successful at their chance for revenge against the Grand Canyon Antelopes, finishing with a clean sweep. The No. 14 Ohio State men’s volleyball team took down Grand Canyon 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-20) Saturday and 3-0 (25-18, 31-29, 25-23) Friday in Columbus. The Buckeyes (7-6. 4-2) were preparing their offense all week prior to the match against the Antelopes (6-9, 0-6), said coach Pete Hanson. OSU put the offensive practice to work and averaging 45 kills during the two matches against Grand Canyon. “If the offense is producing at a very high level, it can erase some of your bad spots that you are trying to cover up … If we can get our offense to play at a steady level, we are going to have the chance to be successful night in and night out,” Hanson said. During Saturday’s match, redshirt-freshman middle blocker Driss Guessous had a match-high 11 kills for OSU and finished
the match with a .474 attack percentage. Freshman outside hitter Miles Johnson added nine kills and two solo blocks, while junior middle blocker Dustan Neary and redshirt-junior opposite Andrew Lutz each totaled eight kills. Freshman setter Christy Blough had a match-best 37 assists and chipped in two solo blocks and two kills. Senior middle blocker Jonathan Newton said winning the match came down to stopping the Antelopes early. “We knew that to be able to control the game, we had to stop their (Grand Canyon) momentum from the beginning,” Newton said. Lutz led the squad with 13 kills Friday, while Johnson added a career-best 11. Guessous and junior outside hitter Michael Henchy finished with nine and eight kills, respectively. Blough had a matchbest 40 assists Friday night. Henchy said Saturday the Buckeyes are on the cusp of reaching the level of play they have been striving to acheive. “We are coming more and more into form and we’re not too far away from being a great team,” Henchy said. OSU is set to close out its five-match home stand as it hosts No. 13 Ball State Wednesday. The No. 14 Buckeyes and the Cardinals are scheduled to face off at 7 p.m. in St. John Arena.
OPINION
US men’s hockey disappoints in Sochi GRANT MILLER Lantern reporter miller.5617@osu.edu It wasn’t supposed to end this way, was it? That’s the question every U.S. hockey fan was asking themselves after the men’s team was shut out by Canada Friday and then Finland Saturday to depart Sochi empty-handed. After three awesome performances in Group A of the Olympic Games — highlighted by a shootout win over host Russia — the Americans overpowered the Czech Republic to reach the semifinals against the Canadians. Everything was going according to plan. Then it all changed: two losses, no goals scored and an overwhelming sense of unfulfilled expectations. First came the frustration of Friday’s game against Canada, where those pesky neighbors to the north played a nearly flawless game, nullifying that esteemed American attack to win 1-0. Less than 24 hours later, with the disappointment of the semifinal defeat still clear for all to see, the U.S. sleepwalked through a 5-0 loss against Finland in the bronze medal game. A promising Olympic adventure ended in failure, with not even a consolation prize to
help ease the pain. The chance was there. They just couldn’t take it. All of this seems that much more dispiriting because of the team’s incredible run four years ago in Vancouver, one that seemed like a seminal moment in U.S. hockey. Here was a youthful American team standing toe-totoe with everyone it faced, even beating Canada in group play before losing to the same opponents in the gold medal game. Those silver medals the players received were more than just a reward for their efforts, they represented the growth of the American player in the NHL, a talented player on par with those produced in any other country. Naturally, many people saw this year’s games as another stepping stone in the United States’ ascent to the top of the international hockey mountain. This was supposed to be another memorable journey — and for the most part it was — but the margin between success and victory at the top level proved to be thin, and instead of the heroic exploits of 2010, it was the thwarted glory of 2014. Though, when viewed through the lens of history, the fourth place finish isn’t entirely surprising. Team USA men’s hockey team has only won two gold medals (1960, 1980) and hasn’t made it to the Olympic podium in
consecutive Olympics since that win in Squaw Valley in 1960. The entire men’s ice hockey competition is also somewhat unpredictable, with Finland being the only country to medal in it each of the last three Olympics (Sochi, Vancouver and Turin). But none of those facts makes the reversal in fortunes of this year’s American team any harder to swallow. Neither does seeing Canada breeze past Sweden to win back-to-back gold medals. In the end, Team USA was still a misplayed puck or a goaltending error away from the gold medal game, but the reality is that they didn’t do enough to get there. Hopefully we will look back on Sochi as an anomaly, a time when things just didn’t click into place for the Americans. Or we could see it as indicative of the improvement Team USA still needs to make. Either way, expectations will once again be high when the men in red, white and blue take to the ice in PyeongChang, South Korea, in four years time. I see no reason as to why things won’t be better, but the uncertain nature of Olympic hockey makes me hesitant to make any predictions. All I know is that if you see someone watching the games with a look of pained anticipation, it will be me. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thompson from 5A Sam is one of those guys (who) in his three years here, has worn a lot of different hats for this program. From his freshman year, to his sophomore year, to where he is now,” Matta said. “The fact that he scored the ball at a pretty high level the last few games, I hope he can continue that because that position definitely opens up a lot of things for us.” Thompson’s heroics were a big part of the 25-5 second half run the Buckeyes used to put Minnesota away. Ross said after such a terrible first half, the team (6-22 shooting, eight turnovers) knew it needed to come out with something extra. “We knew in the first half we didn’t come out with the juice, we didn’t come out playing the way that we usually play,” Ross said. “So going into halftime when we was down 10 … I just think everybody knew in their mind they were going to come out and play hard.” Play hard they did, outscoring the Gophers 46-18 in the final 20 minutes while shooting 56.7 percent. “The first half was definitely the worst we’ve played (this season). Coach Matta said that at halftime,” Thompson said. “We came out in the second half, we played some of the best basketball. I don’t know if it was the best, but through stretches we definitely played some of the best ball we’ve played.” If the Buckeyes hope to make any noise in the postseason, it appears Thompson could hold the key to that success. Currently sitting in a tie for fourth place with No. 15 Iowa and the final first round bye in the Big Ten Tournament — set to get underway March 13 in Indianapolis — the Buckeyes are scheduled to take on Penn State (13-14, 4-10, tied for 11th in the Big Ten) Thursday at 7 p.m. in State College, Pa. The Nittany Lions beat OSU, 71-70, in overtime last month at the Schottenstein Center. But the way OSU finished off Minnesota Saturday made Matta realize his team has one very important thing. “They’ve got heart. Because I told them after the game, ‘you cashed a chip in.’ Because this team has not done that this season,” Matta said. “I like the fact that they came back and fought and clawed and put the run together. Shows that these guys got a lot of heart, which is good.”

Lee Daniels explains why he’s not Tyler Perry LOGAN HICKMAN Senior Lantern reporter hickman.201@osu.edu Director and producer Lee Daniels said he wants to make something very clear — he’s not Tyler Perry. “My mom said, ‘I don’t understand you, everybody in church thinks something’s wrong with you — all your movies are about freaks. Why can’t you do movies like Tyler Perry?’ In his Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored visit to Ohio State Thursday night, Daniels said his movies, which aren’t always feel-good stories, are a direct result of his experiences. “I can’t tell what I have not experienced because it’s not truthful,” Daniels said. “And so I have to work from what I know.” Overall, Daniels’ talk to about 100 students at the Archie Griffin West Ballroom at the Ohio Union was a testament to finding success through perseverance, talent, art and love. “Always follow your heart and never give up,” Daniels said. “Never take ‘no’ for an answer because I think that separates the sissies from the men.” Daniels, whose movies include “Monster’s Ball,” which he produced, and “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” and “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” which he produced and directed, spoke about his journey from the projects of Philadelphia to becoming an Academy Award-nominated director. But despite his recent success, the 54-year-old director and producer said growing up as someone who was “different” from his five siblings resulted in a very “abusive” relationship with his now deceased father. “When I was 5, my earliest memory was walking down the stairs in my mother’s red high heel shoes, and my dad — he’s a cop — is down playing cards with the boys and it was not pretty — at all,” Daniels said. “He put me in a trash can and he said that I would never be nothing. He said, ‘You already have it bad, boy, cause you’re black — now you’re a faggot too.’” In that moment, Daniels said he first experienced escaping his reality through his imagination. “I remember the stench of it, I remember the texture and the darkness and the cold,” Daniels said. “I thought I was Aladdin and I would just fly away.” And fly away he did, following a series of school years where Daniels said he was bullied to the point of holding his bowel movements and urine at school, because he was too afraid of going to the bathroom. But before becoming the man behind the lens, Daniels said he took a series of odd jobs after moving to Los Angeles when he was in his late teens. At first, Daniels worked as a receptionist for a nursing agency by day and for a movie theater at night. By the time he was 21, Daniels said he gained the confidence to open his own nursing agency after “seeing the hustle” of the business. Within two years, Daniels said he had employed 500 nurses and had become a millionaire. Knowing that his calling was in film, Daniels eventually sold his nursing agency and turned from picking nurses to casting actors for various Hollywood projects. Soon enough, Daniels began to work on more notable projects, like singer Prince’s, whose real name is Prince Rogers Nelson, movie, “Purple Rain,” which he said was his foot in the door. Even though he had found success, Daniels said his money led to a lifestyle that included drugs and prostitutes — a lifestyle that was present through the first movie he produced, “Monster’s Ball,” which propelled Halle Berry to be the first black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. “Halle Berry called me the night after we went to the Oscars — I went back to my hotel — and she said, ‘Are you coming to the Vanity Fair Party?’ And I said, ‘Yes, I’ll get there,’ but I was too embarrassed

Director Lee Daniels speaks to students at OUAB-sponsored event, ‘The Man Behind the Lens: Lee Daniels,’ Feb. 20. to come — I didn’t think that I had earned it,” Daniels said. “And so that voice that my dad told me I was nothing — I had a crystal meth pipe in my hand and a couple hookers — and so that was the beginning of not feeling worthy of existing.” Daniels said it wasn’t until an eye-opening moment where he neglected his two adopted kids that he finally realized the necessity of becoming sober. “I had a long stretch of sobriety of two months — that’s a long-ass stretch,” Daniels said. “I remember my boyfriend had gone to the hockey game and I had a calling — Satan was over my neck — and I remember walking over my kids, leaving them in the apartment, walking to the drug man. Going to him, you know, knocking and ringing his doorbell, and then having this epiphany at this moment of ‘Oh my God, what am I doing?’ And so I’ve been sober since.” After gaining his sobriety, Daniels said it was time to do a movie more fit for his mom’s church friends. “Let me go find a movie that’s going to make the church people happy — in come ‘The Butler,’” Daniels said. “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” the 2013 film inspired by the life of a White House butler who witnessed a series of historical events over his 34-year tenure, starred Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey and grossed more than $167 million worldwide set against a budget of $30 million. Ultimately, Daniels said it takes him three or four years to “give birth” to a movie like “The Butler” because he pours his soul into every project — and this is why he doesn’t make as many movies as Tyler Perry. Some students who attended Thursday’s event said they appreciate Daniels for the time it takes him to produce his work because it has a deep effect on them once it hits the silver screen. Nick DaLonzo, a second-year in film studies and marketing who attended the event, said his favorite of Daniels’ movies is “The Butler.” “It really hit home about certain segregations in the United States and how far we’ve come from those days,” DaLonzo said in an email. Overall, DaLonzo said Daniels’ message about triumph in the face of adversity was compelling. “I took away the fact that you should always be yourself and never give up,” DaLonzo said. “Keep perusing what you dream of doing in life, and don’t let anyone tell you no or get in your way. Mr. Daniels was extremely inspiring to listen to — as he told us all of the deepest and darkest things about his life and how he conquered them all.” Sara Clark, a first-year in psychology who also attended the event, said Daniels has qualities other directors lack. “I really enjoyed how he spoke about the way he chooses what movies to make,” Clark said in

Lee Daniels directed 2013’s ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler.’
Lee Daniels directed 2009’s ‘Precious: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.’ an email. “The story has to speak to him, and if he doesn’t feel like it grabs his heart, he can’t do it. He has such a passion for genuine storytelling that was evident in his speech. I think a lot of directors are lacking that.” Daniels’ filmmaking craft might indicate that he is unlike other directors of today. “I’m not f---ing Tyler Perry,” he said.
The story of one South American family’s struggles is set to come to life in the Ohio State Department of Theatre’s upcoming production of “The House of the Spirits.” The play, based on Isabel Allende’s novel of the same name, focuses on three generations of the Trueba family, spanning from the 1920s to the 1970s, and is heavily influenced by surrealism in the plot, said Beth Kattelman, director of the production and associate professor of theatre. “Different generations are able to connect across times,” Kattelman said. Jesse Massaro, a third-year in theatre, plays the role of Esteban Trueba, the patriarch of the family. He describes the character as a complicated man who loves his family but is also abusive. “In general, he’s a tragically good guy that does some terrible stuff, but I hope in the play that we’re able to show that it was for a reason and sort of understand where I’m coming from,” Massaro said. Anna Leeper, a fourth-year in theatre and communications, said while her character Clara is essentially the matriarch in the play, her circumstances are rather unfortunate. ”She’s seen as kind of an outsider and a lot of really of bad things have happened to her in her life, but despite all of that, she has a really tender, kind heart and that is shown throughout the majority of the play,” Leeper said. Media and animation are set to serve as integral parts in the unfolding of the story, which includes a lot of adult themes regarding violence and sexual assault, Kattelman said. Those intense subjects, however, were one of the reasons Massaro was drawn to the play and his character. ”When I found out about this play, I wanted this role so very bad because it’s so meaty and there’s so much to just grab on to,” Massaro said. “It’s been emotionally draining really — it’s very dramatic, tragic and sad. It’s been a lot to handle, but our director, Beth, has done a phenomenal job helping us out, and as a cast, we really had to delve into pretty terrible stuff together, but I think we have a really good story we’re telling.” Kattelman said she did her best to work with the students on the mature material. “You’re dealing with students acting out violence or sexual situations, so that’s challenging to make sure we’re doing that so everybody’s safe both physically and emotionally,” she said. Despite these sensitive topics, Kattelman said she hopes audiences will enjoy the production for its overall theme. “I like the idea of the concept of one generation passing along its story and its memories to another and how important it can be for us to learn from those who have gone before us,” she said. The play is set to premiere Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Ray Bowen Theatre and run through March 6. Ticket prices are $20 for the general public and $15 for students and can be purchased at the OSU box office located on the second floor of the Drake Performance and Event Center.

OPINION
Columbus paints itself as a fashion-forward city beyond the scarlet and gray of OSU SHELBY LUM Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu “Zooming In” is a weekly series in which Photo editor Shelby Lum provides her insight on pop culture. Columbus, as hard as it tries, alas is still fighting for the national prestige of other cities across America. In conversation, a few specific names color what the city is — or what it is from an outside perspective. The Buckeyes, Jack Hanna and The Columbus Zoo, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, perpetually gray skies and the Buckeyes (yes, they are important enough to be named twice). Paints a pretty picture of football and cold weather, right? The city musters on though, continuing to harbor hopes for grandeur. It’s a hidden gem of coffee shops, local boutiques with fashion finds and it’s beginning to make the maps for brewing local beer, but Columbus is still looking to beat out other cities for a name for itself. And it has. Somehow, Columbus isn’t as far off the radar for fashion as one might think. According to research analyzed by the Economic Modeling Specialists from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census’ American Community Survey, Columbus is the third most fashion-forward city in America, trailing only behind New York City and Los Angeles. When it comes to how fashionable men are, Columbus even has Los Angeles beat. Yes, according to SeekingMillionaire.com, Columbus men dress more savvy than L.A., and Columbus ranked at No. 9 for most fashionable men.
While I find the latter hard to believe with the superfluous amounts of Ohio State gear I see milling around campus, the decision was based on Columbus as a whole and not just the struggling students attempting to make it to class on time. The Limited Brands (good ol’ Les Wexner, CEO of Limted Brands will never let us forget about his company), DSW, Astor & Black and Abercrombie & Fitch are all headquartered here in central Ohio, and the trickle down effect is likely in the works. If simple proximity wasn’t enough to infiltrate the city with new trends, Columbus works as a test market for many companies to use residents as guinea pigs. Restaurant chains test new menu items here and retail stores create different interiors to see reactions. If the lovely citizens of Central Ohio don’t like the product or food, odds are the rest of the country won’t either — or at least in theory. Becoming a fashion destination isn’t just important to designers across the city. Having more fashion-forward men isn’t just a bonus for a better dressed city as a whole. Having Columbus almost beat out New York and Los Angeles as a more fashion-forward city is making a name for a city that otherwise is mostly known for its football team and constant construction. While the city probably isn’t on its way to oust New York from its top position, and Columbus Fashion Week won’t be quite the icon that New York Fashion Week is, it’s a step to an identity. Before moving to Columbus from Atlanta, my thoughts on the city stopped at the home of those delicious peanut butter and chocolate buckeye treats and the football team. But now I know fashion in Columbus is more than just the scarlet and gray mesh jerseys seen Saturdays at Ohio Stadium.
