CFO Geoff Chatas: Higher ed adapting slower than financial climate DANIEL BENDTSEN AND KHALID MOALIM Asst. arts editor and Asst. multimedia editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu and moalim.2@osu.edu State support for higher education has been declining for decades, but the federal government released a study in December with a new find: As of 2012, funding for
universities now comes more from tuition than it does from state funding. This “inflection point” happened much earlier in Ohio, though. It was 2003 when tuition passed state funding at Ohio State, and the margin has only increased since. The federal study done by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, showed
that in 2003, about 32 percent of public colleges’ revenue was from state funding, while tuition made up 17 percent. In 2012, however, tuition increased to 25 percent, surpassing state funding, which was at 23 percent. In contrast, shares of federal, local and other revenue sources remained relatively stable.
Tuition surpassing state funding comes as public college enrollment is at its highest peak. Enrollment at public colleges increased by 20 percent from school years 2002-03 through 2011-12, while median state funding per student

TOWING COMPANIES TOLD TO PAY CUSTOMERS BACK Shamrock, Camcar had charged unlawful administrative fees for towing ALEX DRUMMER AND SARAH MIKATI Oller reporter and Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu and mikati.2@osu.edu For some students who have been towed by Shamrock Towing Inc. or Camcar Inc., it’s now payback time — literally. Shamrock Towing and Camcar, two Central Ohio towing companies, have reached a settlement with some Ohio drivers for charging unlawful “administrative fees.” Drivers towed between Sept. 1, 2008, and July 17 can now potentially receive $23 to $28 back from the $30 to $35 they were unlawfully charged. According to the class action lawsuit, these companies charged drivers towed in private tow-away zones an extra fee beyond what the state law allows, which is $90 for the tow and $12 per day for storage. “From the tow truck companies’ perspective, their argument was there are additional costs that go into towing people,” said Molly Philipps, an attorney at Student Legal Services at Ohio State. She said paying for staff and paperwork were a few examples of potential additional costs. But, “the judge wrote a pretty strong opinion and didn’t agree with them,” said Fred Gittes, an attorney representing the group of drivers in the class action suit with Columbus-based The Gittes Law Group. “Even the signs that these companies put up said what would be charged according to the law.”
Joshua Bills of Pelini, Campbell and Williams, representing Shamrock Towing, and Erica Probst of Kemp, Schaeffer and Williams, LLC., representing Shamrock and Camcar, both declined to comment about the settlement. The class action settlement required that the companies stop charging the fee, as well as hire third-party administrators to reimburse drivers who were charged the fee, Gittes said. Class action settlements are brought about when it doesn’t make financial sense for a single person to pursue the matter, because of the typically lower dollar amount involved, Philipps said. “So you get into this situation where people are just stuck and they’re complacent and they just let it happen, and the reason is that they don’t have access to a legal services organization or some other attorney who is going to pursue their rights,” she said. “However, there are arguably a lot of people who are similarly situated,” and thus a class action lawsuit might take place. Gittes estimated that as many as 40,000 to 50,000 drivers are affected by this class action. “This means for many students, staff and faculty, a chance to get money back through a very simple process that’s easy

Going into national signing day, Ohio State already had four recruits signed and enrolled in classes. Coach Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes were confident of landing another 18 recruits who were already verbally committed. That adds up to just 22, yet when the fax machines stopped running at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Wednesday, there were 27 new Buckeyes. “We had five at 11 o’clock last night where (we were) TIM MOODY / Sports editor unsure of where Coach Urban Meyer they were going,” Meyer said Wednesday afternoon. “And that makes for a bad night for myself and for our coaches.” But that bad night turned into a good morning, as OSU received letters of intent from all five of those players who were certain. Defensive lineman Joshua Alabi and wide receiver K.J. Hill both chose OSU on Wednesday, before the school officially announced commitments from offensive lineman Isaiah Prince and quarterback Torrance Gibson. The last decision Meyer and his staff were waiting on was that of running back Mike Weber, a Detroit native and former Michigan verbal commit. “I looked at my clock one time and it was 12:10 (a.m.) and I was talking to Stan Drayton about Mike Weber,” Meyer said. “And we were trying to get a hold of him, so it was a very eventful night.” Drayton, OSU’s running backs coach, said he was never in a similar position, but stressed the pressure recruits like Weber are under when signing day approaches. “I wasn’t good enough to go through what these kids have to go through on the signing day, but I can’t imagine the pressure they must feel, especially coming from a rival state like he (Weber) is,” Drayton said Wednesday. While some cases — like Weber and Gibson, who were both verbally committed

“I gave them each (the dancers) a sketchbook and we drew in those sketchbooks every rehearsal.” -Megan Davis
Master’s students draw from collaborations for contemporary show TAYLOR FERRELL Lantern reporter ferrell.178@osu.edu One typically thinks of an art gallery as a house of stationary art work — but in downtown Columbus, art comes to life. Megan Davis and Ani Javian, two Ohio State MFA dance students, will showcase contemporary choreography Thursday through Saturday at the Urban Arts Space. The showing on Thursday will include a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and a performance at 7 p.m. Another showing will go on Friday from 6 to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. Admission to the “Watch From Here: Department of Dance Master of Fine Arts Thesis Concert” at the Urban Arts Space is free. The live performances will include “Trace Forms,” a performance by Davis, a third-year MFA, and “Elsewhere,” a performance by Javian, another third-year MFA. “Trace Forms” originated during Davis’ undergraduate studies when she majored in art therapy
and found an interest in a process that connected mind and body. She said she found that connection through drawing and moving. Davis said “Trace Forms” is a work about process and collaboration — meaning what happened with her dancers during rehearsal behind closed doors. “I gave them (the dancers) each a sketchbook and we drew in those sketchbooks every rehearsal,” Davis said. She said she would often give them a prompt to draw from. The dancers would improvise and then later discuss the prompt. She said she and the dancers would invent movement based off of these drawings. “Trace Forms” will not only involve dancers moving in present time, but also TV screens and two-dimensional artwork mounted to the walls displaying the dancers’ personal narrations and creations during the process. Davis also created a sound score to “Trace Courtesy of Megan Davis

campus #ThatsBuckedUp: USG attempts to collect student feedback with new campaign JEREMY SAVITZ Lantern reporter savitz.3@osu.edu Students looking to share feedback about life at Ohio State now have a new opportunity to vent on social media. OSU’s Undergraduate Student Government launched the #ThatsBuckedUp campaign on Sunday via Twitter and Facebook in an effort to hear student feedback more efficiently. “This week we launched a Twitter, Facebook page, and a Google form where people can submit things they want to see fixed or improved at OSU,” said Abby Waidelich, a USG spokeswoman and a third-year in biological engineering. USG will evaluate responses and provide feedback to students, including advice on whether their problems can be solved administratively, Waidelich said. USG President Celia Wright, a fourthyear in public health, said it’s important to have town hall meetings and general assemblies, but more needs to be done. Social media is a tool that needs to be used, she said. “A big part of our responsibility in student government is to represent students’ needs,” Wright said. The morning after the launch of #ThatsBuckedUp on Twitter, which has the handle @BuckedUp_OSU, the amount of followers and posts increased as more people found out about it, Waidelich said. “This took off like none other after the launch,” Waidelich said. “We made it public Sunday night during the Super Bowl and it really took off Monday morning and the amount of followers tripled in about two hours. It’s been very successful so far.” As of Wednesday evening, the @ BuckedUp_OSU account had more than 290 followers and had tweeted 29 times. Although many of the tweets including the #ThatsBuckedUp hashtag voice serious concerns, ranging from off-campus safety to pricing at on-campus dining facilities, some students have used the hashtag in a more light-hearted manner. “It’s been entertaining to see how students have been using it,” Wright said. “Some students have used it to make
people aware of serious issues and some people have used it to be funny, both of which we enjoy.” Waidelich agreed that whether the hashtag was being used strictly to voice legitimate OSU concerns or to post goodnatured tweets, the end result is the same. “With people posting funny things to the hashtag, at least that is getting the word out that USG wants to hear back from students,” she said. “The more often they see our hashtag or Twitter handle, the more likely they are to click either on our Facebook page or Twitter to see what we actually are doing.” Zach Schreckenberger, a first-year in biology, recently posted to the hashtag about class averages on exams, but said he isn’t totally sure it’s going to make any difference. “I don’t know how confident I am that the issues posted will be addressed, but I think just mentioning it does something at least,” he said. “We’ll see, I don’t really know what USG’s plan is. If USG or the administration actually sees these posts and actively works on it, I would continue to use this.” Addie Johnson, a second-year in health and rehabilitation sciences, said she thinks the hashtag on Twitter is more widely read than the other platforms used by the campaign, which include Facebook and a Google form. “I would most likely use Twitter,” said Johnson. “I feel like word spreads more quickly through the trending hashtags and retweets. I’m more likely to pay attention to what my friends are retweeting or favoriting.” Wright said she thinks this campaign shows that USG is listening, even when it is not election season. “In general, we have had an issue with student government only showing up in spring for campaigns,” Wright said. “It’s a problem that has been long recognized. We know that student government members are capable of getting the word out, but unfortunately that passion sometimes dies when the campaign ends. This is us ensuring that it doesn’t die and that we are able to represent students even when it isn’t when someone is trying to get elected.”

OSU Senior Vice President and CFO Geoffrey Chatas has an interview with The Lantern on Feb. 4 at Bricker Hall.
Chatas from 1A declined 24 percent. The trend is primarily driven by fouryear colleges, which have experienced faster enrollment increases than two-year colleges. The study also mentioned that the majority of its sources attribute the decline in state funding for public colleges to competing state budget priorities, like healthcare and K-12 education. There was an uphill trend from fiscal years 2005 to 2008, the study found, but that was followed by a downward trend from fiscal years 2008 to 2012, which most of the sources for the study attribute to the two-year recession from 2007 to 2009. OSU chief financial officer Geoff Chatas said temperamental state funding can be a difficult squeeze for the university, and it’s one that’s exacerbated by the state’s practice of planning its spending in only two-year increments. “The governor issues a biennial plan, a two-year plan,” he said. “It’s debated in the legislature and typically, by June, you have the answer, but it doesn’t really ever go up.” This trend presents difficulties for the university while it attempts to manage its balance sheet, Chatas said. However, the greater financial problem for the university is not a decline in state funding, but an increase in costs. Ultimately, total revenue has increased slightly over the last decade, but the cost of college has been increasing at a faster rate than both healthcare and family income, Chatas said. It’s that problem, not the decline in state funding, that he sees as the driver of greater financial burdens for students. “The first question we have to ask is, ‘Well, why did the cost go up by so much?’ — not ‘Was the state responsible?’” he said. In part, Chatas said, the answer to the former is that the expectations of a modern university have gone up. “I don’t want it to say, ‘Oh, God, it’s just Student Life,’ because it’s not just adding the RPACs and the Unions, but it’s also adding counselors and services, things (students) demand or want or expect,” he said. Despite rampant concern over growing student debt, Chatas noted the irony that demand for a degree hasn’t gone anywhere. “That’s sort of fascinating, right?” he said. “Despite all the debt, people want to come and want the RPACs and they want the Unions and the students voted for all of those, right? So they had elections with the students and they said, ‘Yeah, I’ll pay a fee.’” Despite that, Chatas said the university has a responsibility to make college more affordable, because the current paradigm is an unsustainable one for students. “If you take the supposition that these debt burdens get larger and keep getting larger and larger, at some point you’re going to have to hit the tipping point,” he said. “To say it isn’t worth it, I don’t think we’re there today. I think most people would say, ‘Hey, I don’t like the $22,000, but I like the Ohio State degree and it sets me up well to go forward, but gee, if I could do it at $10,000 debt, that would be a lot better than $22,000. But if the 22 became 100 — I mean, it won’t — but if it did, you’d have a different discussion.”

to do,” Gittes said. “It also means they will help hold these companies accountable.” The Gittes Law Group filed the lawsuit against the towing companies on Aug. 29, 2012, Gittes said. Gittes said Paul Aker, a 10TV reporter, brought the issue to their attention with special news reports related to towing companies. “Between seeing his reports, and just getting phone calls, I and the other attorneys involved said, ‘Hey, we need to do something about this,’” Gittes said. Student Legal Services saw a “decent amount” of these cases and litigated several before the class action settlement took place, Philipps said. There are three options if someone wishes to file a claim. For some, claim forms have been mailed to them
OSU Columbus campus tuition for Ohio residents for the 2014-15 academic year is $10,037. Nonresident tuition is $26,537, which includes an out-of-state surcharge. In June, the Board of Trustees voted to enact a tuition freeze for in-state students, but the surcharge for non-Ohio residents was increased by 5 percent. To combat that risk, Chatas has taken new approaches to increasing revenue for OSU. He’s backed a privatization of the campus’ parking and utilities, sealed an exclusive contract with Huntington Bank and sold $500 million in bonds. While utility privatization is still ongoing, the university’s parking was leased for $483 million in 2012, a deal the university credits with bringing 87 full-ride scholarships to the university. But Chatas still doesn’t see utilities as the stopping point for the university on this front. “We’re not done,” he said. “If you think about something like cellphones: Can we do a creative deal with a cellphone company? As long as it is not a mandatory thing and it can generate resources, then why wouldn’t we talk about it?” There are limits, however: “We don’t want to turn Ohio State into you walk on the Oval and there are billboards everywhere,” he said. Some of the creative revenue ideas he’s aimed to put in place have been slow-going because changing higher education is “ridiculously hard,” Chatas said. “When I started the parking privatization discussion, (former OSU President) Gordon (Gee) said, ‘Hey, look, universities have been around since Bologna and part of the preservation is that they’re slow to change,’’’ Chatas said. “So ironically, this round up in cost happened relatively quickly, but dealing with it is not going to be something you’re going to do overnight because culture is ingrained to not being inclined to change quickly, to study things, to review them, to analyze them, to test them. That’s the way academics are trained.” Ultimately, Chatas said he thinks that scrutiny has a positive impact, but the slow process can’t work if universities aren’t able to effectively plan ahead when states take dramatic action. Ohio’s funding under Gov. John Kasich from State Share of Instruction dollars, which moved higher education funding to a performance-based model, is a plan no other state has taken, and makes it even more difficult to plan, Chatas said. While the SSI model is unique to Ohio, other states have taken dramatic action which forced quick change. “The model from the governor of Wisconsin just saying ‘I’m taking 300 million and you can’t raise tuition,’ that’ll force change — but it will force it very abruptly,” he said, noting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s recent move to slash $300 million from university funding while instituting limits on room-and-board rates. But if such a dramatic change were to happen, Chatas said he isn’t above grandiose thinking, including testing the limits of what people think is economically possible in the university. “I’ve also talked about, can we break the cost curve?” he said. “So bending it will lower the rate of increase. I want to know if you can lower the absolute cost and I don’t know the answer to that.”
based on Camcar and Shamrock Towing’s records. Recipients can fill out the form and email or mail it in, Gittes said. Gittes added, though, the companies have incomplete records for long periods of time. Therefore, people who have been towed and have a record, like a credit card charge or invoice, can visit the class action website to fill out and send in the form. “You can still submit a claim even if you don’t have your receipt,” Philipps said. Those who have been towed, but have no record, need to fill out, notarize and send in the form, Gittes said. “You’re going to have to sign an affidavit, which is sworn testimony,” Philipps added. Those affected by the class action have until May 29 to complete the claim form. “The claim form will take people five to 10 minutes,” Phillips said. “I think for most students, ($23 to $28) is worth that.”

opinion City Year a great decision
‘Tattoo-Gate’ a reason OSU won national title
Letter to the editor:
Courtesy of TNS
Then-sophomore quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) speaks with former football coach Jim Tressel during a game against Minnesota on Oct. 24, 2009, at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 38-7.
Letter to the editor: “The story of Tattoo-Gate.” It almost writes itself. It would start with the recruitment of 6-foot4-inch, big-armed, smooth-running quarterback from Jeannette, Pa., by a coach known for his integrity, sweater vest and winning. The end is where the story turns, with that same quarterback being shunned from the university he embodied for three years, a coach being forced out of the program whose tradition he continued and brought to new heights and many reputations being forever tainted. Years later, the Ohio State Buckeyes won the 2015 National Championship. The reasons why are plentiful and oft-discussed. But one that’s often overlooked is the scandal in 2011 that led to coach Jim Tressel’s resignation, the vacating of 12 wins including a win in the Sugar Bowl over the Arkansas Razorbacks and a bowl ban. The short version is as follows: six players on the Ohio
State football team were found to have traded Big Ten championship rings, cleats, jerseys and a national championship ring in exchange for cash or for trade: tattoos. Twelve emails between Tressel and Columbus attorney Christopher T. Cicero ensued, describing the details of the allegations and investigation. These emails never made it to Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, and thus an investigation into Tressel’s lack of action supervened. Eventually, Tressel resigned as head football coach. But Tressel’s resignation meant the possibility of a new culture, one that could compete for national championships with the Southeastern Conference and beyond. It would take the perfect hire, however, to put the team in this position. Enter Urban Meyer. Meyer had just decided to leave a Florida program because of health issues, one that he had led to two national championships. He was working for ESPN as an analyst and color commentator. But Meyer decided to come back to
coaching, for Ohio State. Add that to the fact that he is from the state of Ohio and had already worked on the staff at Ohio State earlier in his career, and that meant the perfect alignment of the stars for an Ohio State-Urban Meyer marriage. Meyer vowed to make Ohio proud. His recruitment of athletes and change in system and culture at the university has done just that. There’s no way to prove whether Ohio State would have been able to win with Tressel as head coach. OSU loved Tressel and the teams he coached while he was here. Fans rooted hard for Terrelle Pryor throughout his time as starting quarterback and defended every wobbly throw or bad decision. No tattoo scandal will make them regret those feelings. However, nothing that happened during that time compares with winning the big one. And all Ohio State fans can thank Jim Tressel for it. Daniel Herbener First-year in journalism herbener.4@osu.edu
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” Bobby Kennedy spoke these words at the University of Cape Town in South Africa nearly 49 years ago, and yet these same ideals are still at work through the work of an organization I’m proud to have been a part of myself here in the United States. City Year is an AmeriCorps program that brings together young people, 17-24, to work at reducing the high-school dropout rate in underserved schools in 25 cities across the country. I am a student at Ohio State, but before becoming a Buckeye, I had the privilege of serving for one year with City Year in Cleveland. I tell people that doing City Year was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and although that phrase might sound trite, I can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am to have been a part of it. From the moving experiences with my students, to the benefits I have received as an alum of the program, City Year has helped me in countless ways. Working with one student, Devonte, was a particularly defining experience for me. Devonte was a rambunctious, troublemaking 10th-grader who could, at the same time, be just as endearing and incredibly smart. It was
obvious that Devonte was a very intelligent kid, yet he was failing every single one of his classes. We started working one-on-one to improve his grades, and after a few months, I started to see very slow baby steps of improvement. Then, one day, his English teacher told me that he was not only passing the class, but that he also had the highest grade. When I shared this news with Devonte, he was ecstatic! He did try hard to cover up that this news held even a little bit of weight with him, but it was very clear that it had sparked a tangible realization that he was capable of doing well in school and he was proud of his hard-earned success. Seeing a student who shows every indication of dropping out of school turn his grades around is an unforgettable experience. In a small way, I was able to support Devonte as he realized his own potential and started making the changes needed to do well in school. As Kennedy said, a ripple of hope is sent out each time a change like this occurs and these ripples have the potential to become currents to bring about lasting change. Every person should have the opportunity to be one of those ripples, and this experience is possible for everyone in an organization like City Year.

Lost his privilege Fresh off a 19-point performance in OSU’s win over then-No. 16 Maryland, sophomore forward Marc Loving didn’t travel to the Buckeyes’ game at Purdue because he “has temporarily lost his privelege to wear the scarlet and gray,” according to an OSU press release sent out Wednesday.

Detroit’s Mike Weber picks OSU over Michigan JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu Some believe that Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer is one of the best — if not the best — recruiters in the country. But Meyer said he isn’t even the best recruiter in Columbus. “(Sophomore running back) Ezekiel (Elliott) is our best recruiter,” Meyer said Wednesday. Meyer went as far as to say that he did not think OSU’s final signing of the day, Detroit Cass Tech High School running back Mike Weber, would have signed had Elliott not made contact and discussed Buckeye football with Weber. Elliott, who rushed for 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2014-15 for the Buckeyes, earned high praise from Meyer, who said he heard Elliott use the term “brother” when talking to Weber. “Mike Weber is not at Ohio State without Ezekiel. I don’t think it happens, I don’t think, I know it doesn’t happen,” Meyer said. “I attribute it to, you believe in what you’re selling. A lot of momentum. And our players right now are bought in. That’s the cool thing. You walk in drills, you see the weight room and the attendance, it’s been great with (strength and conditioning) coach Marotti. There’s a lot of momentum in Ohio State.” While Elliott might have been a deciding factor in persuading Weber to come to Columbus, it was special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs who was assigned to make the trips to Detroit to make the OSU pitch. Coombs, who also played an integral role in signing freshman cornerback Damon Webb out of Cass Tech High School in last year’s class, said he encourages recruits to talk to current Buckeyes who are already on the roster. “What we tell our recruits is, ‘You should

New coach on the block: Tim Beck Newly appointed OSU co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tim Beck met with the media for the first time Wednesday afternoon after leaving Nebraska to replace Tom Herman, who is now the head coach at Houston. Beck, a Youngstown, Ohio, native, said coaching at OSU has always been on his mind. “Growing up in Ohio, it’s a dream come true to be able to come here and work with coach Meyer, and really all the staff,” he said. Before joining the Cornhuskers, Beck coached alongside current OSU offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Ed Warinner at Kansas. But aside from Warinner, Beck is set to make a plethora of new acquantances in Columbus, including 6 scholarship quarterbacks in his own position room. Senior Braxton Miller, redshirtfreshman J.T. Barrett, redshirt-sophomore Cardale Jones and freshman Stephen Collier are set to return, and recruits Joe Burrow and Torrance Gibson signed with the Buckeyes on Wednesday.
Buckeyes shoot 4-of-15 from 3-point range without Loving JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu The No. 20 Ohio State men’s basketball team started the night one man short, and ended up short on the scoreboard. The Buckeyes (17-6, 6-4) fell to the Purdue Boilermakers (15-8, 7-3), 60-58, on the road Wednesday night without sophomore forward Marc Loving, who did not make the trip to West Lafayette, Ind., because he has been suspended indefinitely. Loving’s absence showed throughout the game as the Buckeyes opened shooting 0-of-4 from long range and finished 4-of-15. Before the game, Loving was the Big Ten leader in threepoint shooting percentage with a 53.2 conversion rate from long range. OSU committed eight fouls in the first frame, leading to the Boilermakers shooting a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. The Buckeyes attempted just one free throw in the first half. Coming out of the locker room, the Boilermakers went on a 9-2 run to extend their lead to eight. The Buckeyes battled back to take the lead, 44-42, with 8:47 to play, but the Boilermakers answered with a 10-0 run to what seemed to seal the game for Purdue. The Buckeyes would get within one point with 6.4 seconds remaining on the clock, but Purdue hit one-of-two free throws as freshman guard D’Angelo Russell missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer to end the game. OSU sent the Boilermakers to the line throughout the game, putting Purdue into the bonus with just more than 10 minutes remaining to play. Purdue converted 19-of-27 free throws while OSU attempted just nine making six. Purdue’s seven-foot center A.J. Hammons made it difficult for the Buckeyes to do much inside as he recorded seven blocks on the night to go along with seven points. Russell kept the Buckeyes’ pace in the first half taking 10 of OSU’s 28 shots, converting on five, leading to 10 points. He also led the Buckeyes in rebounds with four and tied for the lead in team assists at halftime with two. He finished the game with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists, all team-highs. Purdue was led by junior guard Rapheal Davis, who scored 20 points to go along with six rebounds. The Buckeyes are set to return to action Sunday in Piscataway, N.J., against Rutgers. Tip is set for 5:30 p.m.

Alston, Buckeyes set for Iowa rematch JACKIE HOBSON Lantern reporter hobson.66@osu.edu After taking down Michigan State 76-62 Monday night, junior guard Ameryst Alston walked into practice with her torso concealed in ice and wrapped in athletic gauze. But the first team All-Big Ten selection from last season was still smiling. Alston is just one of four current roster members who played in last year’s 77-73 loss to Iowa in the Big Ten Championship semifinal game that ended Ohio State’s season. In getting ready to face Iowa for the first time since, when the Hawkeyes and the Buckeyes are set to play Thursday in Iowa City, Alston said she hasn’t has not forgotten the defeat last March. “The Big Ten Tournament definitely comes to mind,” Alston said. “I really wanted to win that game and get to the championship. There is some bitterness.” Since that tournament game almost a year ago, the make up of OSU’s roster looks different after coach Kevin McGuff brought in five freshmen for this season. “We are going to be a very different team on Thursday night,” McGuff said. Headlines surrounding the Buckeyes this season have been dominated by McGuff’s top recruit, freshman guard Kelsey Mitchell, who leads the nation in scoring at 26.0 points per game. And while Mitchell has carried the load offensively, some of her teammates are starting to add to the scoring column. “We are at our best when we have balance in how we play,” McGuff said. The supporting cast for the Buckeyes has proven to be able to put up points of their own in the past couple of games which have led to road wins against Purdue and Wisconsin. Three players were in double digits at Purdue, while four players were at Wisconsin. While contributions have been made from everyone, the key to OSU’s success in the past couple games was acknowledged, by both Alston and McGuff, to be the play of junior guard Cait Craft. “Cait does a lot of our hard work,” Alston said. “She’s a 5-foot guard that will play the four position and bang down low with the posts, and she has worked incredibly hard.”

Junior guard Ameryst Alston (14) dribbles the ball during a game against Michigan State on Feb. 2 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 76-62. Craft, who last week said she’s been struggling with her shot this season, has since worked out the kinks and helped OSU to a four-game win streak with both her shooting and defense, McGuff said. “Cait has been really consistent for us,” McGuff said. “As we play more man-to-man, she is a really good defender.” OSU is reaching the home stretch of the Big Ten season and are in the middle of a stretch of three games in a week. “Playing this many games can be tough, but we aren’t worried about it,” Alston said. “We still go hard in practice every day.” The Hawkeyes will pose a challenge for the Buckeyes as they have many scoring weapons, have not lost at home all year and

that’s a hard thing, and I admire them (out of state commits) for that,” Coombs said. When Weber sent in that letter of intent to play at OSU, Coombs could only describe his excitement in one way. “Euphoria. Euphoria. Yeah. Euphoria. I don’t know another word for that but it is really good,” Coombs said. While Coombs said he does not coach the running back position, he worked “hand in hand” with Buckeye running backs coach Stan Drayton when recruiting Weber. “At some point in time, recruiting changes from the ‘giving them information and attracting them to your program,’ to coaching them. And that’s where Stan takes over. All the conversation about how we are going to run inside zone and A-gap power, that’s his deal,” Coombs said. “How does he fit into the room and the culture of the room? That’s Stan’s deal. My deal
is to present to the kid and his parents, his high school coach, all the myriad of benefits that he is going to receive from being an Ohio State Buckeye.” Drayton said Wednesday that he believes Weber will fit right in with his current stable of running backs at OSU. “We have a certain culture that we’re trying to maintain in our running backs room, and just because you can play football and run a fast 40 and score a touchdown doesn’t necessarily mean you fit that culture. And right away I knew Mike Weber was a cultural fit,” Drayton said. “He’s an unselfish player who cares about his teammates. He plays with unbelievable toughness and passion, and I hope that our backs are representing that right now because that’s exactly what we want in our room.” The Buckeyes will find out if Weber fits into the running back room or not when OSU kicks off its 2015 season in Blacksburg, Va., against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Sept. 7.

are ranked No. 16 as well as sitting second in the Big Ten. “They are good,” McGuff said. “One of the best offensive teams in the country because they can really put up points in a hurry.” With the number of offensive options on the opposing bench, McGuff said his team will have to be on top of its defensive game plan in order to get the win on the road. “It is a really, really tough defensive assignment for our team,” McGuff said. However tough Iowa might be, Alston’s advice to her younger team on how to play tough Big Ten games will not change due to their age. “I tell them don’t be afraid to make a play,” Alston said. “We don’t really look at our team as freshmen or seniors anymore.” Tip-off in Iowa City is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m.
to OSU going into signing day — came down to the wire, the Buckeyes didn’t lose any verbal commits to another school Wednesday. But they didn’t pick up every target either. OSU did receive commitments from five of its top six recruits who were on the fence, but others like defensive lineman Terry Beckner Jr. (Missouri) and linebacker Porter Gustin (USC) chose different collegiate paths. But even beyond Weber, Gibson and Alabi, the Buckeyes sealed signatures from two players who had yet to announce their collegiate decisions. Hill, a North Little Rock, Ark., native, visited OSU, Alabama and Arkansas in January, and had previously committed to the Razorbacks before changing his mind. Wide receivers coach Zach Smith said Hill initially chose not to visit OSU after committing to Arkansas, but didn’t fall completely out of the picture. Then when he de-committed, Smith said co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Chris Ash spearheaded Hill’s recruitment, and eventual commitment. “We stayed in touch, and then Chris really was the one who was beating down the door,” Smith said Wednesday. “Then the kid ended up deciding he didn’t think he wanted to go to Arkansas, so we got back in it, got him on a visit, and he loved it.” Meyer said he didn’t get to know Hill in the recruiting process, but he called him “very intelligent,” and said Hill comes from a good family background. Like Hill, Meyer had high praise for Prince. “There’s no better guy than that,” he said of the offensive lineman from Greenbelt, Md. Meyer said the Buckeyes’ College Football Playoff National Championship victory will pay dividends in recruiting down the line, but added it helped with a few players this season already. “We didn’t really turn any, I thought that might happen, but that didn’t happen,” he said. “I think Isaiah Prince, K.J., are two, maybe Torrance, it really helped us.” Overall, Meyer said he was pleased with the recruiting class, and noted the Buckeyes’ success recruiting in the state of Ohio, and with recruiting linebackers and offensive linemen. OSU signed 12 players from Ohio, including two of the top-10 outside linebackers, the No. 11 inside linebacker and six offensive lineman who each check in at least 6-feet-5-inches, according to ESPN. “We don’t have the tall long guys (at offensive line),” Meyer said Wednesday. “We’re 6-6, 6-7, 6-5, 6-9, 6-5 and 6-7 are walking through the doors now.

Along with Gibson, the Buckeyes signed The Plains, Ohio, native Joe Burrow, another four-star quarterback recruit. That gives OSU six scholarship quarterbacks on the roster heading into the 2015 season. Meyer said he’s never had a similar situation when it comes to the number of talented quarterbacks on the roster, and added his last night recruiting the new OSU class was a bit out of his norm as well. “I used to do it in the middle of the floor with a sleeping bag. I now moved into my daughter’s room, she’s no longer there, she’s in college,” Meyer said. “So I walk in the room and I plug my phone in.” He added the process was fun once upon a time, but said now it’s simply getting commitments that he enjoys. “It was fun when I was 27 years old, I’m 50 now,” Meyer said. “It’s fun when you get ‘em, I’m smiling now.” While commitments like Weber, Gibson, and company made Meyer smile on Wednesday, he had spent the past season smiling after the Buckeyes won 13 consecutive games on their way to a national title. OSU is schedule for a chance to extend that streak against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va.

Wex play to act out THE WORD DANIEL BENDTSEN Asst. arts editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu Faith versus rationalism gets lip service in theological study, but it’s a silly silent comedy at the Wexner Center for the Arts that will put that debate center stage this Thursday through Sunday. Stan’s Cafe, a theater company out of Birmingham, England, has developed these types of shows for decades, but it will bring its new production, “The Cardinals,” to Ohio State for four showings. The play depicts three bumbling Roman Catholic cardinals putting together a puppet show-type production of “the Bible’s greatest hits” as a morality play. It’s a rudimentary telling of the Bible with a “naive performance style,” said director James Yarker. “It’s slightly sort of picture book or cartoonish, but very sincere. The live audience finds it funny … but somehow that sincerity allows it to be touching.” The play within the play is the bread and butter of “The Cardinals.” Yarker, who co-founded Stan’s Cafe in 1991, said his inspiration for developing this play was the image of a puppet showsized theater filled not with puppets, but disproportionately sized cardinals acting out the drama.

Classic story of CMA filters, displays best of Insta-art ‘Great Gatsby’ to be told through choreography NINA BUDEIRI Lantern reporter budeiri.1@osu.edu F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Great American Novel” is renowned for its depiction of excess’ ugliness, but it’s now taking shape in a medium notorious for graceful beauty. Since being revived for the first time since its successful 2009 debut, BalletMet’s new production of “The Great Gatsby” will be hitting the stage at Capitol Theatre starting this Friday, through Feb. 14. The ballet is based on the 1925 novel of the same title about millionaire Jay Gatsby and his dysfunctional romance with former flame Daisy Buchanan. Choreographed by BalletMet dancer Jimmy Orrante, the show holds true to the original story, despite the challenges faced in telling it through dance. “Telling the story of Jay Gatsby without words, with just music and movement is a challenge.

“Telling the story of Jay Gatsby without words, with just music and movement, is a challenge. But between the dancers, the set and the costumes, there will be no questioning the story we’re trying to tell.” - Ann Mulvany, BalletMet communications manager there will be no questioning the story we’re trying to tell,” said BalletMet communications manager, Ann Mulvany. Mulvany said Orrante was so focused on staying true to the book that he had a language arts teacher sit down with the dancers to discuss their characters. “The teacher sat down with each of them individually to talk about how they saw their character and techniques they could use to bring them to life without speaking,” she said. “Gatsby” is set in the Jazz Age, and most of the dancing incorporated into the performance is centered around music of the 1920s. “There was a lot of inspiration that came from period music,” Mulvany said. “There is some traditional ballet in the show, but there is also a lot of the Charleston and the Foxtrot.” There are changes that have been made to

The Columbus Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, “Mobile Photo Now,” turns an app into art. Through Instagram, the CMA asked the public to submit photos in four separate categories; portrait, street art, black and white, and community, said Jennifer Poleon, digital communications director at the CMA. About 45,000 images were submitted from about 5,000 Instagram users, representing 89 countries. “Mobile Photo Now” will feature 320 of the submitted photos taken by more than 240 photographers from 40 countries. . “It’s going to be the largest collection of global photography ever presented by a museum,” Poleon said. The exhibit is open Friday through March 22 at 480 E. Broad St. Admission Tuesday through Saturday is $12 dollars for adults, $8 dollars for students. Admission is free on Sundays. Instagram can act as a small window into the lives of people who live thousands of miles away. Each image can pinpoint a physical location. When you connect the geographic dots in the way that has been done for this exhibit, you get a figurative — and literal — global picture. “It’s interesting that it’s not considered a standard art form yet; they’re not teaching it in art classes,” said Adam Elkins, a 27-yearold local photographer whose work is in the exhibit. “It’s just using your phone, but I do believe that it will eventually be respected more as an art form, and the CMA is definitely helping to start that.” Elkins didn’t know his knack for mobile photography, which he developed a few years ago, would lead to nearly 40,000 Instagram followers or two spots reserved for his work in an art museum. He said he finds his most beautiful photos in natural lighting, reflections and by exploration. Fostering and connecting a creative photography community was a main goal, according to Poleon, behind the CMA collection. The museum has done “photo hunts” before where visitors submit photos prompted by designated categories.. The worldwide reach this particular exhibit has made, Poleon said, will bring photographers from Sweden, Iran, Brazil and elsewhere to Columbus in order to see and celebrate their work. “I know it’s still a luxury to have a cellphone, but in the art world, it equalizes the playing field,” said Claressa Page, another local photographer whose Instagram habit led her to the CMA’s photo challenges. “I think participatory art is something that could be of our generation. More communicating and sharing knowledge, but more savvy in our ways.”
Page said shefirst started taking photos of baked goods when she was working as a pastry chef, and her knowledge of art history fueled the passion. The image that got her into the exhibit is reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth’s 1948 painting, “Christina’s World,” which depicts a woman on a field with a house in the distance. Page’s image, “Rad’s World,” uses Wyeth’s aesthetic in real life, with her 4-year-old son Rad as the main subject. The show is co-curated by the museum, independent photography curator Lisa Kurzner and the “#JJ” Instagram community, which issues daily, theme-based photo challenges and has more than 622,000 followers. “JJ” stands for Josh Johnson, who co-founded the forum along with fellow photographer Kevin Kuster. The team contacted the CMA when they saw the museum was doing similar things as them on Instagram. Through the powerful combination of a mainstream social media platform and modern camera-phone technology, a growing colony of both amateur and professional photographers has emerged in “Mobile Photo Now.” “I think that often, people often say that social media isolates from one another,” Page said. “And this is really an example of how that’s not true. It’s beyond the selfie.”

Bible from 9A The play is acted almost entirely in silence, which was a “prosaic” decision, Yarker said, as the show was partially commissioned by a French venue that didn’t want English in the play. “Our French isn’t that great, so it seemed sensible to do it without words,” he said. Writing a play devoid of dialogue also brings a different aesthetic characteristic, he said. “It gets rid of a headache because it’s one less thing you have to worry about, and also one less thing the audience has to worry about,” Yarker said. “If the audience isn’t getting information coming at them on that channel, then somehow they’ve got spare processing capacity which allows them to engage in the show in a kind of different way.” He, along with several members the cast, wrote the play and the initial plan was for the cardinals’ show to be based on of
Show from 1A Forms.” These sounds are a culmination of beats from musicians Andrew Bird, Atlas Sound and Swod, as well as sounds one might hear in everyday life. She said the everyday sounds included people drawing with pencil and marker on paper, and that she liked how the two materials made such distinct sounds on paper. Davis said by integrating visual art, dance and film in a gallery space, she hopes the audience will be able to see the connection between the art materials and the dance . Javian said she also shared a collaborative process with her dancers in the creation of “Elsewhere.” “I would say I’m a director of the group of collaborators,” she said. “Elsewhere,” a dance that brings to life isolation, seclusion and detachment, began differently for Javian, however Javian is a second-generation Armenian-American, and comes from a lineage of people who have been displaced from their homes. “It originated from my interest of ‘home’ … but has evolved and shifted to explore displacement more generally,” she said. “Elsewhere” will have three parts: dance, sound, and an installation.

the Spanish Inquisition, but Yarker said his historical readings left him uninspired. He tried swapping it with the Crusades, but “unless you’re a massive historian, they’re not that interesting,” he said. “It generally comes down to people hacking each other to bits, intermittently.” Ultimately, the cardinals’ play was expanded to encapsulate the beginning of the world to its eventual end, with the Crusades just a small section. Yarker said the Crusades were surprisingly “quite heartening” when you consider the extended lengths when the opposing sides were able to live together peacefully without “hacking each other to bits.” He thought this theme would become the core of “The Cardinals” and included a Muslim female stage director who works to keep the cardinals’ show running smoothly. Yarker said he hopes that the dynamic is representative of a broader historical relationship between the two religions. “They mostly rub along; they’ve got a
each other is important. “I asked them to look past one another instead of seeing the person,” she said. “A lot of it is through focus, what’s seen (and) what’s not seen. What we are inviting the audience to see (and) how visible we are to the audience.” Javian said the sound by James Lo will have an echoing quality within the highceiling gallery of OSU’s Urban Arts Space. “At times it sounds sort of muted and the amount of distance in between chords is irregular,” she said. “There are voices, chatter and indistinguishable voices in the background. It sounds like it’s elsewhere.” Javian said that wooden installation by MFA student Leah Frankel gives “Elsewhere” a specific place and time within the gallery. “In terms of time, I would say it (‘Elsewhere’) has installation time,” Javian said. “There’s not necessarily a beginning, a middle and an end. It’s happening when you enter and it keeps going while you leave. The performance doesn’t loop, it only happens once, but the edges are blurred.” Javian said she and the others didn’t work with a specific end result in mind. “Looking at each artist’s contributions created the dance instead of imposing parameters or objectives on what we thought it should be,” Javian said. “We did not force this dance to become something — we learned together what it would be.”
load of shared stuff,” he said. “Occasionally there are differences of opinion. Occasionally it gets really heated and really pisses some of them off, but that’s not the only register at which they operate.” He said some critics were disappointed there wasn’t a grand confrontation with a moral victory from either the cardinals or stage director. Yet one religious scholar told Yarker after a showing he appreciated the nuance of the characters that exists in real life. That theme flows throughout the play, but Yarker said the play’s heart is really the parallel between the efforts of organized religion and of the cardinals themselves.. Because the cardinals’ methods are visible, the audience can see the show the cardinals believe they are putting on, but also is free to see the behind-the-scenes contrivance. “They’re bustling like mad until just before they get onstage and then it’s totally serene and that’s the wider experience that the

Costume shop manager Erin Rollins said everything is going to be more colorful this time around. “At the big Gatsby party, all the costumes were black and grey back in 2009. This was a deliberate style choice, but this time we’ve added pops of color everywhere to set a very different-looking and more fun scene,” she said.
audience gets,” Yarker said. “In the theater, you’re asked to suspend your disbelief. Essentially, religion is asking you to believe, so they’re sort of one and the same.” As with theater, a maintenance of disbelief in regard to religion might lead to a different truth. “A straightforward, Marxist-style reading says ‘Religion is a frame you place around the world if you want to exploit it,’” Yarker said. “The show very deliberately says that if you choose not to see outside the frame, it’s a miracle.” Despite entertaining that notion, Yarker said the play ultimately isn’t anti-religious. “The cardinals aren’t as stupid as you think they are, actually,” he said. “It’s easy to make shows about a bunch of idiots and it’s quite entertaining, but it’s nicer if the idiots have the last laugh. Maybe there is nothing outside the frame — no one says the Marxists are right. People might co-opt the religion for their political purposes, but it doesn’t mean the faith is wrong.”
For the dancers at BalletMet, “The Great Gatsby” is a more modern story than they’re used to telling, and Rollins said that might lure more people into becoming interested in ballet. “You don’t see 1920s costumes or dancing in ballet that often,” she said. “It’s fun and energetic to watch, and I think the audience will be pleasantly surprised. You don’t really have to like ballet to like this show.” “The Great Gatsby” is slated to hit the stage Friday, with performances through Feb. 14.
