Students take hacking on the road

2016-17 budget could raise and freeze tuition, expand scholarships SARAH MIKATI Lantern reporter mikati.2@osu.edu Ohio State and government officials said OSU students can worry less about finances if Gov. John Kasich’s 2016-17 budget proposal passes legislation. In his State of the State address Tuesday, Kasich said the objective of his budget is to make college more affordable for students. “(With) lower costs, a cap and a freeze on tuition, more students can afford college,” Kasich said in his speech. In 2003, tuition passed state funding at Ohio State, and the margin has only increased since. Tuition surpassing state funding comes as public college enrollment is at its highest peak. In a federal study done by the U.S. Government Accountability Office released in December 2014, the decline in state funding for public colleges is often attributed to competing state budget priorities, like healthcare and K-12 education. Kasich’s proposal includes initiatives and funding to reduce student debt, limit and freeze tuition rates, and expand scholarship opportunities. A tuition freeze is in the forecast Kasich’s plan includes a maximum 2 percent tuition increase in 2016, followed by a tuition freeze in 2017. Currently, the cost of tuition and fees at OSU’s Columbus campus is $10,037 for Ohio residents and $26,537 for nonresidents. If OSU decides to increase rates by 2 percent, tuition would become about $10,238 and $27,068, respectively. “It’s probably a very good idea to do this freeze,” said Sam Farren, a second-year in

Hackathons like HackIllinois draw computer programmers, interface designers and other software and hardware development-related enthusiasts together to produce projects under an intensive deadline. The 2014 HackIllinois event at the University of Illinois, photographed above with a fisheye camera lens, will play host to a group of OSU students in 2015.

Semester 2014 was Kuehn’s first experience with a hacking marathon, and he said he got so absorbed with programming and coding that he didn’t sleep much during the event. “It’s all about starting with nothing, or starting with very, very little, and actually building a product, an application, and I was just very excited about it,” said Kuehn, a first-year in computer science and engineering. This weekend, he will attend

OSU sets sights on NCAA Tournament james grega, jr. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu With just four regular season games remaining before tournament play takes over the college basketball landscape, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is limping back to Columbus. Having played eight of its last 12 games on the road, the Buckeyes have lost three of their last five games including back-to-back losses to Michigan and Michigan State. The good news for OSU is that three of its last four games are set to be played at the Schottenstein Center, with the last road game coming against Penn State next Wednesday. OSU coach Thad Matta said he knew months ago that the current stretch of road games could make or break the Buckeyes’ season. “I knew in July when the Big Ten schedule came out, I said, ‘My

The first time Marcia Nahikian-Nelms brought her 6-week-old golden retriever puppy, Belle, to work with her, she realized the special connection that Belle had with people. Eight years and 80 pounds later, that puppy is now a therapy dog known as Buckeye Belle. While working for a university in Missouri, Nahikian-Nelms brought her new puppy Belle into work with her. While she worked, Belle would go to the university day care to play with the children. “From six weeks on, (the day care workers) would come and get Belle every day to play with the children,” NahikianNelms said. Seeing the connection Belle had with the children, Nahikian-Nelms said she knew

FCC vote might change how companies charge for Internet MEGAN NEARY Lantern reporter neary.38@osu.edu Sixty-eight percent of college students have used Netflix to binge-watch a television show, according to a study published by Student Life website studlife.com in November. But viewers’ experience on Netflix could change with the Federal Communications Commission’s upcoming decision on net neutrality, said Chris Wallace, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering and president of Ohio State’s Open Source Club, a student organization that promotes free, open source software. Wallace said a lack of net neutrality could potentially impact how users experience Netflix and similar services, as companies would be forced to pay for more bandwidth to convey

those services, which could raise consumer prices or decrease service quality. Companies that refuse to pay Internet service providers for additional bandwidth could have their services “throttled,” or slowed down. Net neutrality is the idea that these providers should treat all traffic that goes through their networks the same. The principle of net neutrality is often referred to as the “open Internet,” and it is the system by which the Internet operates today, according to the FCC website. The FCC is set to vote on a new set of net-neutrality rules on Thursday, which would keep broadband providers from speeding up or slowing down websites based on how much they pay for bandwidth. R. Kelly Garrett, an associate professor in the School of Communication, said there are two ways of looking at the Internet: Either

all messages are treated equally or some messages are given higher priority. But network providers argue that it is important that certain messages are treated differently, he said. Garrett said the network providers’ argument is that some messages are more important than others, and they think that the logical way to determine a message’s importance is to see how much the sender is willing to pay for speed. On the other hand, critics say prioritizing certain Internet messages is just a way to make money. Wallace said the decision would affect him greatly as a student who works with computer technology on a regular basis. Without net neutrality, he said, it might become impossible for an independent

campus Hacking from 1A languages has continued to grow through his firsthand experiences in both hackathons and his free time. “If somebody sits there and gives you an hour-long lecture that says, ‘OK, this is how you write HTML,’ you’re going to forget all those tags,” Kuehn said. “It’s when you sit there and play with it … that’s how you learn how to solve (problems in coding).” A hackathon brings together computer programmers, interface designers and other people related to software and hardware development and has them produce projects in a certain intensive time frame. Students tend to work in groups at hackathons. After his first hackathon, Kuehn immersed himself in the culture, driving him to start Buckeye Hackers, a student organization dedicated to having a presence in hackathons in the region and eventually around the world. Going into a hackathon, Kuehn said getting a good night’s sleep beforehand is one of the most important things to do, because most events last more than 24 hours. Beyond that, preparations before hackathons involve knowledge accumulated over time as well as having a desire to learn. “A lot of it is learning as you go,” Kuehn said. “But it’s also being prepared to learn.” Shashank Agarwal, a graduate student studying computer science and engineering, is a hackathon veteran and has won at least one prize at all four of the events he has attended. As an experienced hackathon attendee, he knows what it’s like to be at a hackathon. Agarwal said groups should take an hour or two to decide what they want to do before working on anything at the event. He said this step is crucial and shouldn’t be

done too quickly, but also shouldn’t take too long. Agarwal also said it’s important to finish as much as possible in the first 24 hours of any hackathon because errors and bugs will always appear and need to be fixed. He added that errors can be avoided by practicing time management and teamwork. “Usually you try to do your work and then sleep when someone else is doing the work,” he said. “A lot of Red Bull and coffee is involved in the process. They’re the essential fuels.” He will also attend the second annual HackIllinois event, which starts Friday at 10 p.m. and ends Sunday at 10 a.m. Agarwal, who serves as the OSU ambassador to HackIllinois, said he is the OSU point of contact for the event. He attended the event last year, winning an award for his application called Get the Answer, which could take a picture of an object and tell the user what the object is. Kuehn said he looks forward to picking more people’s brains at HackIllinois and seeing what other projects people are going to make. “One of my favorite things is just looking at what people do, and seeing other people’s projects is always cool because people do some crazy things,” Kuehn said, mentioning specifically a portable shower that was developed at the OHI/O fall hackathon. He said he will attend HackIllinois with his same OHI/O hackathon team, made up of four people. HackIllinois judges will determine the winners in separate software and hardware categories during a science fair open to the public after the hackathon ends, said Nathan Handler, the director of HackIllinois this year. The top three software and top three hardware projects, as decided by the HackIllinois judges, will earn technology and cash

NCAA from 1A God, coming out of Ann Arbor if our heads are above water, and we’ve got a decent mojo about us, we’ve got a shot,’” Matta said Wednesday. “The biggest thing that I’m at right now is, ‘Hey guys, look, we’re OK. We know what we’ve gotta do, we know how we’ve gotta do it, now let’s walk out on the court and get the job done.’” Doing just that will be key if the Buckeyes want to make their seventh straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. OSU, which has slipped to a No. 8 seed in ESPN’s most recent bracket projections, has not been seeded that low since the 2009 tournament when the Buckeyes fell to No. 9 seed Siena in double overtime. That team, which lost in Dayton, boasted just one senior (a walk-on) and had little NCAA Tournament experience. Despite that, Matta said he doesn’t believe he has to do anything extra to motivate or educate his current freshman-laden roster about the big dance.

The first HackIllinois event that happened last year led to projects like a microwave that was controllable through Wi-Fi. Another project was an app for Pebble smartwatches that allows owners to silently answer multiple-choice questions by tilting their wrist in four different directions to choose one of four choices. The users would be able to send their choice to other users in a room, which could aid in answering questions on exams, Handler said.

“Times have changed. I remember, I don’t know if it was ‘08, I had a team meeting one time and said, ‘How many of you freshmen know how to get in the NCAA tournament?’ They didn’t know,” Matta said. “Now, that’s been seven years ago and everybody knows. I like where they (the current freshmen) are in terms of how they’re playing and how they are getting better. I would hope the four seniors that have been here would be telling them those things. I am sure they know that, I don’t like to bring it up.” One of those seniors, forward Sam Thompson, has been as far as the Final Four in the tournament. Thompson, who played 12 minutes in a 64-62 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks in the 2012 semifinal as a freshman, said getting back to the NCAA Tournament remains in OSU’s sights. “Obviously the end goal is to make the NCAA Tournament. For the seniors that have been deep in the tournament, we know that there is no better feeling,” Thompson said. “For the young guys, they all came here for an opportunity to play in the tournament. We know that we have some work to do, as far as our résumé, but

“It got a wide reaction since Pebble just donated a thousand smartwatches to the university,” Handler said. “It wasn’t as popular with the teachers, though.” Despite HackIllinois being open to students from other schools, attendees won’t be divided by school affiliation, Handler said. Everyone is free to team up with whoever they wish and produce whatever projects they can pursue. Kuehn said he hopes the hackathon’s attendees will come away with a new appreciation for the possibilities of technology. “Never underestimate what you can do with a passion and an Internet connection,” Kuehn said.

our goal is to get better, our goal is to play our best basketball. We know if we do that, everything else will work itself out.” The Buckeyes are getting set to try and right the ship Thursday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who have dropped their last five games. Despite the Cornhuskers’ poor form, Thompson said he expects a motivated and fired-up squad coming in from Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers might have extra motivation coming from the fact that coach Tim Miles revoked the team’s access to their locker room after a 74-46 loss at home to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday. “I didn’t hear anything about it until coach Matta told us when he was sort of setting the stage,” Thompson said of Nebraska’s lockout. “We know they are going to come in and play hard. I guess their locker room is on the line now. We know they are going to come in and give us their best shot. We know that we have to be ready to play. Our mindset doesn’t really change.” The Buckeyes and Cornhuskers are set to tip off at the Schottenstein Center at 7 p.m.

Belle was going to be a therapy dog. “It was just really apparent early on that she had this really amazing ability to connect with people, and I think part of it is due to that early experience being part of that day care and being with the young children,” Nahikian-Nelms said. Belle is Nahikian-Nelms’ fifth golden retriever and first therapy dog. NahikianNelms said she originally had no intention of making Belle a therapy dog. “She just had this real unique kind of connection that I knew she was going to be a therapy dog really at that early age, because she just really connected,” Nahikian-Nelms said. When Nahikian-Nelms moved to Columbus five years ago, she began Belle’s therapy-dog training. The professor said Belle’s training lasted about six months and entailed basic and higher-level obedience training to make sure she could work in different environments without reacting or getting distracted. “One of the things that’s really hard for her because she’s a golden and loves to eat, is that if she sees food, she has to be able to leave that alone,” she said. Nahikian-Nelms said she and Belle started coming to the Ohio State Student Wellness Center after learning about a student research project that looked at the value therapy dogs could bring to college students. Assistant professor Dr. Jill Clutter in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences headed the project and said the research showed that therapy dogs improved students’ moods and lowered their anxiety levels, even showing physiological benefits. “Some of the research they’ve done has also been physiological in terms of lowering blood pressure, lowering heart rate and normalizing breathing patterns,” Clutter said. And because the research showed college students could benefit from interaction with therapy dogs, Clutter said she suggested Nahikian-Nelms bring Belle into the Student Wellness Center. “From that original little research study, we got connected to the RPAC and the

Student Wellness Center … and now she’s been coming once a week for the past three years,” Nahikian-Nelms said. Assistant director of the Student Wellness Center Blake Marble also aided in the process of bringing Belle to the center. “A lot of different places use therapy dogs in many different ways, and we were just trying to think of a creative way to bring that to our campus and to our office,” Marble said. According to the Student Wellness Center website, there are nine dimensions of wellness. They are emotional, career, social, spiritual, physical, financial, intellectual, creative and environmental wellness. Marble said he could make an argument that Belle helps satisfy every dimension, but some are particularly apparent when he sees students interacting with Belle. “Seeing students smiling and laughing while they’re around Belle, that’s a positive sign,” he said. “It brings people together. Students that may not have ever met each other are sitting there petting Belle and they strike up a conversation with each other, and you hear about the dogs they have at home and how they miss their dogs, so it starts conversation.” Since Belle has been coming to the Student Wellness Center, the student response has been positive, and there are students who visit on a weekly basis just to see Belle, Marble said. “The feedback we’ve gotten has been tremendous, very positive. Students love interacting with her, they just lay on the floor and kind of pet her for a while,” he said. “It caused quite the stir in a positive way.” Belle comes to the Student Wellness Center every Wednesday and also participates in the “Pause for Paws” event that takes place during finals week in Thompson Library. Although Belle spends much of her time as a therapy dog, Nahikian-Nelms said she is very much still a family dog and the same loving puppy she used to take to work with her. “She is definitely our family dog when she’s at home, but as soon as she puts her little vest on, she is ready to go to work,” she said.

opinion Depression hurts; hope helps DANIELLE SEAMON For The Lantern seamon.17@osu.edu A couple of years ago, I wrote a column for The Lantern detailing my experience with depression, and in doing so, I wrote it to have an ending — and a happy one, at that. With the help of friends, family and counseling, I was done with depression, I concluded. I did this for two reasons. First, a great essay recounting a life pitfall is best with a conclusion consisting of some sort of reflective proverb of hope and diligence. Second — and probably the most honest — I needed to believe that the lowest low of my life thus far was isolated to three months during my sophomore year of college. But like most uncontrollable life aspects that we try to manipulate with tied hands, the outcome always is as destined, despite your efforts and bruises to show for it. Between the publishing date of that column and today, I have had two more extended episodes of depression. Within those, in no particular order, I’ve had three therapists, two psychiatrists, dozens of medication adjustments, two visits to the emergency room, one hospitalization, tons of skipped classes, numerous days off of work, about seven C’s, my first D, a 0.3 drop in my GPA, one intensive outpatient program and multiple interventions by friends. You can call me naive or call it my fault — I often fluttered between those two while staring at my bedroom ceiling, spinning the roulette of reason to explain why I had let the depression manifest again.

Budget from 1A computer science and engineering. “Even though it’s a lot of money up front, it’ll definitely be a benefit in the long run.” Tom Walsh, OSU vice president for government affairs, said the tuition freeze will not be immediate in order to give colleges and universities time to adjust to a new budget. “For some institutions, to go right to a tuition freeze would be too much for some of these schools to absorb,” he said. “The thought is, the second year, you give these schools some ability to implement some of the recommendations of the (Ohio Task Force on Affordability and Efficiency in Higher Education) so that institutions can start taking a serious look at some of the costcutting measures that can help bend the cost for higher education.” OSU froze tuition for the 2014-15 school year for in-state students, but rose the surcharge for non-Ohio residents by 5 percent. The Ohio Task Force on Affordability and Efficiency in Higher Education, assigned by Kasich on Feb. 10, is a group of nine members who are set to examine ways public colleges and universities in Ohio can cut down on costs and increase efficiency. Earlier this month, Kasich announced the

selection of OSU Chief Financial Officer Geoff Chatas as task force chair. In order to brainstorm ideas to decrease tuition, Kasich proposed a $20 million innovation fund, something Walsh said he is most excited for. The fund, which is set to be established in fiscal year 2017, would provide resources for “innovative and administrative redesign proposals that result in long-term, sustainable cost savings to students,” according to Kasich’s budget proposal. “If you can find a way for universities to find efficiencies, start doing some costcutting measures that is resulting in natural savings or cost of attendance for students, that is ultimately where you want to get,” Walsh said. Swimming out of the sea of debt Sara Wesselkamper, a third-year in zoology, is part of the 68 percent of Ohio college students to graduate with debt. “I think we borrow at least $7,000 a semester,” she said. According to The Project on Student Debt, the average student graduates from Ohio higher education institutions with $29,090 in debt. The average OSU main campus student graduates with $26,472 in debt. Kasich is also proposing $120 million to go toward a student debt reduction fund,

programmer to compete with big companies, which would be able to buy themselves special treatment on the Internet. The FCC’s decision has the potential to impact all students, not just ones like Wallace who are majoring in technology-related fields, Garrett said. “College students are among the most likely to be affected by this,” he said. “If the government does not enforce net neutrality … this could have pretty serious implications for the kinds of things we would be able to do on the Internet in the future. What happens here is going to have an impact on what the Internet looks like, which is going to have an impact on how our lives, our professional lives, our home lives, look.” On Thursday, before the net neutrality vote, the FCC will hold an open meeting to discuss community broadband and protecting and promoting the open Internet. A live webcast of the meeting will be available on FCC.gov. Garrett said it’s important for students to understand the implications of the FCC’s decision. “I think that we live in a world in which technology, like the Internet, and computing, and mobile phones, are so essential to every aspect of our lives that we need to educate ourselves,” he said. “I don’t care what side students are on but … it is important that we understand there are very real implications, it’s not just about talking points. If we change how Internet works on a very fundamental level, that will have implications which will permeate society.”

which aims to reduce financial debt burdens on students. Jeff Robinson, spokesman at the Ohio Board of Regents, said there will be no details on how these funds will be used to reduce student debt until the budget passes legislation. However, students have an idea of what they would like to see in such an initiative. “When you’re applying for colleges, they need to tell you how to apply for scholarships and grants, and teach you ways to save money in college,” Wesselkamper said. “Every semester can help you.” Ethan Sprunger, a third-year in public health, agreed, saying counseling services would be beneficial for college students facing debt. “Is that something that can be provided? Counseling for students on how to properly manage finances and loans,” he said. An expansion of scholarship and grant opportunities Kasich’s budget proposal includes $8 million to go toward scholarship and grant opportunities for students, such as the Ohio College Opportunity Grant and scholarships for Choose Ohio First, War Orphans and Ohio National Guard, according to a Department of Higher Education press release. According to Kasich’s budget proposal, $1

million in each fiscal year will be added to the Ohio College Opportunity Grant program. Robinson said the expansion of the Ohio College Opportunity Grant will be helpful for students who want to pursue school year-round. “If they’re getting Pell grant money, that money cannot be used in the summer,” Robinson said. “So, this budget would allow students to receive Ohio College Opportunity Grant money in the summer to help cover those costs.” Pell Grants are direct grants awarded to students with financial need who have not received a bachelor’s degree, according to the FAFSA website. However, Walsh said he would like to see additional expansion for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant, which is need-based rather than merit-based. “It would allow the university to free up some additional resources so we can provide additional financial aid support to middleincome students,” he said. “We lose some of our flexibility in terms of aid that we can give to middle-income students because our first priority is to try to minimize overall costs on the lowest-income students with needbased aid, so we exhaust our institutional aid quicker because we’re not getting enough support from the OCOG program as we would like to see.”

Bucks aim to continue Cornhuskers’ lockout james grega, jr. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu

Most top-tier basketball teams have the luxury of coming home to a state of the art locker room nowadays. While the same can be said for the Ohio State men’s basketball team as they return home after suffering back-to-back road losses, the Nebraska Cornhuskers haven’t seen their lockers in days. After a 74-46 drubbing from Iowa on Sunday, Nebraska coach Tim Miles banned his players from the friendly confines of the Cornhusker facilities. While some might think that style of motivation is drastic, OSU coach Thad Matta said it doesn’t surprise him. “You would be shocked at how many coaches do that. You hear coaches talk about doing that all the time. I think from that perspective, as a coach, you are doing everything you can,” Matta said Wednesday. “At times, you almost feel like you are begging guys in a certain point of a season to do their best.” Nebraska is set to travel to Columbus to take on OSU at the Schottenstein Center on Thursday at 7 p.m. The Buckeyes, who have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, are set to play three of their last four regular season games at home before heading to Chicago for the Big Ten Tournament. Senior forward Sam Thompson, a Chicago native, said while it is nice to be returning home, the recent losses are unacceptable. “Obviously it feels different being on the road than it does being at home. But that in no way justifies the way that we came out to play some of these road games that we had,” Thompson said. “No matter where we are playing, no matter who we’re playing, our goal is to come out and play our best basketball.”

Senior guard Shannon Scott (3) and the Buckeyes are set to take on Nebraska at the Schottenstein Center on Feb. 26 after 2 straight losses away from Columbus. Matta agreed with Thompson and added that he, more than anyone, wants to see his players get back on the right track against Nebraska. “Nobody in the world understands that the

No. 1 person that wants his players to play their best is not their family, it’s not their (Amateur Athletic Union) coach, it’s the head coach and our lives are tied to it,” he said. “All I want to do tomorrow night is

play our best basketball and compete and play with toughness and get the job done.”

Women vs men helps OSU hoops improve Tennis set for Big Ten schedule jackie hobson Lantern reporter hobson.66@osu.edu

The Ohio State women’s basketball team has found that the best way to improve in its craft might not be to simply practice against itself. The Buckeyes have composed their own practice team of male players to scrimmage against on a daily basis because coach Kevin McGuff said he believes it is the best way for his players to get better. “I have always done it,” McGuff said. “The boys can push and challenge our kids and make it a tough environment, I like that.” The male opponents are typically OSU students brought in by the coaches. Those coaches then leave it up to these men to find more players on campus whom they believe could contribute in practice as well. “Usually we get some of the guys and tell them to get people that would fit what we are trying to do,” McGuff said. “They do a good job of that and we have really great guys, they do whatever we ask.” From there, the men play the offensive and defensive schemes of the Buckeyes’ upcoming opponents and are asked to go hard all the time, McGuff said. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s good competition,” Brandon West, a secondtime practice player, said. “We are all friends in the end.” West, who played basketball at Stebbins High School in Dayton and turned down the sport in college in favor of the full academic scholarship OSU gave him, said it is necessary for the men to have strong basketball backgrounds to keep up with the team. “You don’t want to come in and do bad because that will hinder the girls more than help them,” he said. This system has set up a benefiting relationship for both parties, as West said he has learned as much from practicing with the women as he has helped them. “I help them, but they help me more than they know,” he said. “It helps me not only as a player but as a person. We both want to succeed.” The competition this type of practice provides makes the team better, West said, and junior guard Ameryst Alston added that she views it as second to none. “Guys are much faster and they jump higher,” Alston said. “We have really good practice players so I look at it as, if we can guard our practice guys, then we can guard anybody.” Alston, who grew up playing with boys, said she thinks this method provides an edge and believes the men tend to be shocked at how good the women are.

West said he could not agree more. “I have the utmost respect for them,” he said. “I have a lot more respect for women in sports. I have always focused on the men’s side and thought girls’ sports were taken for granted but they work as hard, if not harder than any guy’s team I have ever watched.” Now, West attends all the Buckeyes’ home games and said the men are extremely supportive of the team and vice-versa. “We have gone to every single home game and we hang out with

Coming off of one last win before its first Big Ten match, the Ohio State’s men’s tennis team has its sights set on more familiar opponents, possibly in unfamiliar conditions. Eleven of the No. 8 Buckeyes’ final 15 matches are part of Big Ten play, with the first conference match coming Friday against Penn State in State College, Pa. “All the teams are really used to each other because they’ve played so many times,” redshirtjunior Chris Diaz said. “It’s definitely a different atmosphere (than non-conference play).” Winning the Big Ten Championship is a primary goal for OSU, and the Buckeyes are ready for the fight it will take, Diaz added. Coach Ty Tucker said he believes the Buckeyes will have to go more on the defensive against Big Ten teams that are looking to topple his team than against non-conference opponents. “We’ve got a good ranking … Everybody wants to beat us,” Tucker said. “If they beat us, they make the NCAA Tournament, so we don’t have any easy matches coming up.” Although these teams know each other well, being in the Big Ten brings uncertainty in every match as to whether they will play indoors or outside. “It’s tough. The transition is difficult being in the Big Ten. You never know … You

Rose should take early trip down Hill’s path tim moody Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu By age 25, Derrick Rose was a three-time NBA All-Star and one-time NBA MVP. He’d averaged at least 20.8 points three times, and was all around considered one of the top point guards and overall players in the league. Sound familiar? For NBA fans paying attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it should. Grant Hill was a 25-year-old small forward for the Detroit Pistons during the 1997-98 season. He was already a four-time All-Star and had averaged at least 20.2 points per game three times. Hill wasn’t just looking like a perennial All-Star, but an all-time great player in the NBA. Fast forward a few years and Hill found himself with the Orlando Magic, but played just four games during the 2000-01 season. He then played 14 games the next year and 29 the year after that, but he missed the entirety of the 2003-04 season from injury. After he had averaged 25.8 points per game in his final

Thursday February 26, 2015

season in Detroit in 1999-2000, it looked like Hill would never reach his old heights. And those looks weren’t deceiving. Instead, Hill redefined his career and became a 10-15 points per game scorer for the rest of his career, while also dishing out a couple assists and picking up about five rebounds per game, something most players could never do. Hill managed to turn himself from a superstar into a role player, and didn’t quit until he was 40 years old. While the injury bug didn’t clamp down on Hill until the latter half of his 20s, Rose is already on the fast track to a what-if career. Rose missed the majority of the 2011-12 season, the entire 2012-13 season and all but 10 games last year. Now after starting 46 games in his seventh year in the NBA, Rose is set to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee, the same injury that sidelined him in 2013. There’s no official timetable for his return just yet, but Courtesy of TNS

sports Lockout from 7A The Buckeyes and Cornhuskers are set to do battle for the first and only time this regular season after splitting the regular season matchups last year. OSU beat Nebraska in the 2014 Big Ten Tournament, overcoming an 18-point deficit, and Matta said he expects a similar team to come to Columbus on Thursday night. “I saw them play two games ago against Maryland at Maryland and you are watching them play and you are saying, ‘These guys are probably first or second in the Big Ten,’” Matta said. “They looked unbelievable. They are a rough, tough physical basketball team. Smashmouth on defense and we gotta execute our offense, we gotta move ‘em. Defensively, they’ve got a couple guys, and we’ve seen this first hand, that can go for 35 on you if you’re not ready to defend.” Perhaps one of those players Matta was talking about was junior guard Terran Petteway, who scored a career-high 35 points against Minnesota as a sophomore. This season, Petteway ranks third in the Big Ten in scoring

with 18.2 points per game, to go along with five boards per game, which ranks him second on Nebraska’s roster. Much like OSU freshman guard D’Angelo Russell, Petteway dominates the basketball on offense, as he leads his team in both points and assists. Russell, despite leading the Buckeyes in scoring, turned the ball over five times in a loss to Michigan on Sunday. Matta said, however, he doesn’t think it is because Russell is trying to do too much. “I think you got to give sometimes the defenses credit. If he and Shannon are out there, whoever gets it or gets the outlet (pass) can push the transition,” Matta said. “(But) if he can get it and make a play, I am good with that.” While Russell and the Buckeyes have not been kicked out of their locker room, Matta joked the idea is not too farfetched. “I’ll tell you what, a couple of years ago they were doing ours (renovating the locker rooms) and we were in some side locker room and we were playing our asses off. Maybe we need to go back over there,” he said.

Just two games out from completing the regular season, the Buckeyes are ready to apply their practice work to their last games in hopes of obtaining a high seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

Tennis from 7A don’t know will we be outside, will we be inside?” Tucker said. “March 15, if the weather says we’re outside, we’re outside, so you have to be ready to play outside.” The decision of whether play outside is based on multiple factors, including temperatures and wind speed. The temperature must be above 50 degrees and wind must be below 20 mph for at least two hours on the day of the predicted match time to play outside. It’s not just the decision to play outside or not that brings uncertainty, though, Diaz said. “The conditions are a lot slower (outside), so you have to really get used to it. You have to have a lot more

footwork and the ball’s not going to be where you think it is all the time,” Diaz said. The Buckeyes do not have an easy road through the rest of the season, but Tucker said they are right where they need to be, even after losing two matches at the NCAA Indoor Championships before beating Notre Dame last weekend. The win put OSU at 11-3 this season. “I thought we got beat, I didn’t think we lost,” Tucker said. “Right now we got to concentrate on getting better and making sure that the confidence is kept up. “ OSU’s matchup with Penn State is set for 3 p.m. before the Buckeyes head back to Columbus to take on Oklahoma on March 6.

no matter if he comes back before the end of the season, sometime in the summer or any other time down the road, it’s time for Rose to rethink how he plays the game. Sure, he’s not a 6-foot-8 presence like Hill — their skill sets aren’t exactly the same by any means — but Rose can turn into the same sort of ultra-effective role player and have a better career because of it. It’s hard to think he’ll ever rediscover the full explosive ability that helped him average 25 points, 7.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game during his 2010-11 MVP run, but he doesn’t need to. The first thing Rose can do is improve his jump shot. Hill shot better than 30 percent from 3-point range just twice before he joined the Phoenix Suns in 2007 (if you exclude his four-game run

position of having a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament,” Alston said. “So these next few games are crucial.” First up is Penn State, a team OSU already beat once this season. The Buckeyes look to repeat that effort in State College, Pa., a place McGuff said he feels is always difficult to be successful in. “It is a really hard place to go and win,” he said. “It will be a really challenging situation all the way around for us.” Tip off is set for Thursday at 7 p.m.

in 2000-01). After that, he shot at least 32 percent for four straight seasons, including a high point of 44 percent during the 2009-10 season when he started 81 games for the Suns. Rose is certainly not a pure shooter now — he was shooting just 29 percent from deep this year — but off-season practice with his jumper can take a lot of stress off his knee and improve his ability to contribute in multiple ways going forward. Hill also became a lock-down defender as his career rolled on, and if Rose can rediscover even part of his old speed, he has all the physical attributes to stick with any point guard in the league. At this point, it might take a miracle for Rose to become a true superstar again, but it’s up to him to either go down as a what-if who’s out of the league before his 30th birthday, or a journeyman star who could be the glue for championship runs down the line.

UTILITARIAN BEAUTY Photographer, musician write to explore industry in the environment

DENISE BLOUGH Senior Lantern reporter blough.24@osu.edu Nestled a mile and a half upstream from the Ohio River in Cheshire, Ohio, lies the Gavin Power Plant. The plant consumes over 25 thousand tons of coal a day, making it the largest coal fired power facility in Ohio. But to photographer Mitch Epstein, it’s also art. Epstein and cellist and composer Erik Friedlander are set to collaborate in the Wexner Center for the Arts’ upcoming show, “American Power,” an audiovisual act centered on Epstein’s photo series that surveys how the American landscape is affected by various power sources. During 2003-08, Epstein traveled to 25 states across the U.S. taking pictures of power sources such as dams and nuclear, coal-fired and alternative-energy power plants, among others and their surrounding landscapes, he said. Although the photos might evoke notions of the mass environmental impacts that man-made power sites can have, both Epstein and Friedlander noted that neither the images nor story have a specific message or intent. “It’s easy to make a picture that conveys, ‘This is troubling,’ or ‘We should be doing this a different way,’ but that isn’t the purpose of these pictures,” Epstein said. “It’s to illuminate what I see, but also to allow for beauty to be an

element … because these landscapes can still be beautiful, even if they’ve been harnessed to satisfy certain needs that we’ve extracted from it.” The show includes about 100 images accompanied by a live, partly improvised cello part played by Friedlander, video segments and Epstein’s narrative of how his photos came to be, chronicling his methods, challenges and overall journey. The performance not only fixates on the ideas of electrical power, but political power as well, said Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant at the Wexner Center for the Arts. “In some ways, it’s reminding us to be more cognizant of very simple things, like being able to power on a phone or to have heat,” Wray said. “And also of the people in positions of government and corporate power who make day-to-day decisions that guide our lives — for better and for worse.” Epstein first began “American Power” after being commissioned in 2003 to Cheshire, a small town along the Ohio River that lies in the shadow of a large, coal-fired power plant. He said the experience of taking photos in Cheshire lingered with him, compelling him to further examine the relationship between American energy reserves, culture and the environment. “I didn’t set out to do this project as a political work per say, but there were certain relations to the political times,” Epstein said. “In 2008, the era of George W. Bush and Dick

Cheney was coming to an end, and both of them had a lot to do with the control of our energy policies.” Getting the photos wasn’t always easy for Epstein, he said, noting that he had particular trouble getting access to nuclear power plants and in small towns, as he stuck out with his antiquated, large-format camera. “It was not uncommon for me to be called into question about what I was doing, or to be told I wasn’t allowed to take pictures on public property, although it was within my constitutional rights,” Epstein said. “But I think that the anxiety I was carrying with me … propelled me forward in a way that made me even more uncompromising to my own artistic will.” The photos were first published in a traditional book format in 2009, and in 2011, Epstein received the Prix Pictet award, a global prize given annually to a single photographer for work revolving around issues of sustainability. He said by the time he was asked to publicly accept the award, he had already shown his images on multiple accounts and wanted to do something different. He contacted Friedlander and gave him the creative freedom to “respond to the photos.” “The music that he composed in response to the work in some way took the whole series to another place,” Epstein said. “All of a sudden it was this new entity.” Friedlander said he was instantly inspired by Epstein’s photo series. He aims for the music

to give the audience an atmosphere in which to view the images and to blend in well enough that it comes across as another element of the storytelling, although slightly more abstract. He’s an improviser, so the sounds change with each run through. Epstein and Friedlander released an album on vinyl titled “American Power” in 2012 that included six original cello compositions by Epstein and a 24 x 36 in. poster of Epstein’s photographs. They have since worked with theater director Annie-B Parson to enhance the performance aspects of the show, Friedlander said. “American Power” will be at the Wexner Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $10 for students, $16 for members of the Wexner Center and $18 for the general public. Epstein has photographs in multiple major museum collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The J. Paul Getty Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Tate Modern in London, and Friedlander has played cello since he was 8 years old, released more than 20 CDs and scored music for films and documentaries. “The show lays out how we are sometimes in uncomfortable proximity with power … without being too dogmatic about what the solutions are, because that’s not really our business,” Friedlander said. “It just tries to ask the questions in a thought-provoking, artistic way.”

‘Claudel’ is reborn in Columbus OSU alum intertwines theater, poetry and visual art into ballet of French sculptor’s life TAYLOR FERRELL Lantern reporter ferrell.178@osu.edu

Courtesy of Wes Kroninger

For ‘Claudel,’ photographer Wes Kroninger combined Claudel’s sculptures with photos of dancers to be projected during the performance. ‘Claudel’ will be performed Feb. 27 and 28 at Columbus Dance Theatre.

Thursday February 26, 2015

It all began about 25 years ago in Paris when Tim Veach visited the museum of August Rodin, and saw a sculpture of two lovers embracing called “Sakountala” by Rodin’s lover, Camille Claudel. Veach immediately bought a print of it, rolled it up, and brought it back to the U.S. Inspired by Claudel’s ability to infuse the illusion of motion into a static sculpture, Veach, an Ohio State alumnus and founder and artistic director of Columbus Dance Theatre, choreographed a ballet in honor of Claudel in 2014. “Claudel” is one of many things Veach has done because of the university fellowship he received from OSU. “It’s a testament to Ohio State that I was offered that (the fellowship) and came here and was so supported by the university which I really appreciate. I could not have done that work without support from the university,” Veach said. After its sold-out run last year, Veach decided to revamp “Claudel” in 2015 with new multi-modal version that intertwines the ballet with music, poetry and visual art. Veach said the reason behind the re-creation was because he wanted to fully illustrate the life of Claudel. Claudel was a sculptor who started her artistic career by working in Rodin’s workshop in 1885. The two began a love affair, despite Rodin being a married man and her mother expressing disapproval of her romantic and professional engagements.

Camille started secluding herself in 1893 to focus on her own art rather than Rodin’s, though her art was frequently censored by the state and press for being overly sensual. In 1913, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and she stayed in asylum until her death in 1943. “Claudel” will have an original music score, Veach said, composed by Korine Fujiwara. Fujiwara is a founding member of the Carpe Diem String Quartet, a chamber ensemble that will also be performing the music of “Claudel”. Two dancers, Kerri Riccardi and Erika Junod, will both be playing roles of young Claudel. Christina Kirk, who plays old Claudel, will recite poetry. Riccardi said she cannot wait for the audience to hear the quartet because it brings a whole other energy to the performance. The poetry in “Claudel” will come from author Kathleen Kirk, said Veach. “I spoke to Kathleen Kirk … and asked her to write poetry inspired by the sculptures,” he said. “I chose the poems that I was interested in and then created a story board of how I saw the cycle of those poems moving through the … life of Camille Claudel.” Veach said he also partnered with photographer Wes Kroniger to create visuals that will be projected during the performance. Kroniger combined photos of Claudel’s sculptures’ bodies and photos of the dancer’s busts together for the visuals. He described one image of the sculpture where you see the face of Junod but then the rest of the body is that of the sculpture. Returning “Claudel” actress Christina Kirk will portray the role of old Claudel as she reflects on her younger self through reciting poetry. Even though Kirk portrayed the same role last year, she said it feels completely different because of all the different art forms Veach has brought together. “Claudel” is set to show Friday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m. at Columbus Dance Theatre (592 E. Main St.). Admission is $30 for adults, $25 for seniors and $15 for students.
