ALEX DRUMMER Lantern Reporter drummer.18@osu.edu Though the number of mumps cases at and near Ohio State continues to rise, some students said they aren’t concerned. The outbreak, however, is only the latest at OSU, where recorded cases of the mumps stretch back more than 100 years. Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for Columbus Public Health, said in an email Tuesday there have been 28 cases of mumps reported as of Tuesday. Of those cases, 23 are OSU students, one is an OSU staff member, one is a family member of an OSU student, staff or faculty member and three have community links to OSU, Rodriguez said. The recent outbreak contributes to a long history of mumps at OSU, according to Lantern archives. Outbreaks have reached student-athletes, agricultural students and clubs in the past, while some student groups studying medicine have hoped for an outbreak, according to the archives. The disease is one Lauren Boyce, a second-year in speech and hearing science and linguistics, said she thought was in the past. “I was very surprised to hear that there was a mumps outbreak. I guess I just assumed that the mumps virus was long dead, and I did not realize there was still the possibility of a mumps outbreak with modern vaccines and technology,” she said. Boyce also said, though, she’s not too worried about catching mumps. “I don’t think the mumps outbreak is too big of a

deal. It seems like every few years there is an outbreak of one disease or another, and it will all go away in due time,” she said. According to the CDC website, the disease can be carried without any symptoms. Those who are affected by mumps might have swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears or jaw on the side of the face, fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite and inflammation of the testicles in men, according to the CDC. The website also says there is no specific treatment for mumps, but it is usually gone in a week or two. Although some current students might not think of mumps as a serious issue, for a student-athlete in 1950, mumps proved to be a bigger obstacle than jumping over hurdles. Ray Hamilton was scheduled to be OSU’s leading hurdler for the 1950 indoor track season until he came down with the mumps. The illness caused him to miss too many classes, resulting in Hamilton dropping out of school in February 1950 with plans to return for Spring Quarter, according to Lantern archives. Hamilton rejoined the team during the spring 1951 season. In 1948, male students in one dorm on campus were afraid one of their fellow residents was showing signs of the mumps. None of them, however, were willing to drive the student to the hospital, but eventually a man who believed he had mumps several years earlier volunteered. “An hour later, the boys were back with the verdict — swollen glands. The sighs of relief could be heard as far as High Street,” the article read. Ten years earlier, in 1938, a headline in The

Fireworks, lasers set to startle geese away

SHELBY LUM / Photo editor

Efforts including fireworks, sirens and lasers are set to take place along the Olentangy River starting March 19 in an attempt to remove geese.

KARLIE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.359@osu.edu Fireworks, sirens, lasers and pyrotechnics. These are the sights and sounds that will permeate Ohio State’s campus lining the Olentangy River in an effort to remove pestering geese. The geese — said to be treating vegetation between Fifth and Lane avenues as an all-you-can-eat buffet — are set to be removed from the area starting Wednesday in order for work on a construction project to be completed. The potential solution: intermittent loud noises, visual deterrents and physical barriers. In August 2012, the Olentangy River renovation began with the partial removal of the Fifth Avenue Dam. About one-third of the structure was removed completely, while along the remaining length of the dam, the top two feet of concrete were removed and the rest was covered with soil. The project was estimated in October to be finished by May 31, weather permitting. George Zonders, a spokesman for the City of Columbus, said previous attempts to deter the geese were unsuccessful, including plastic coyotes and aluminum stakes set up along the river. “(The geese) figured out those are passive restraints and they treated the (vegetation) seeding as their own personal buffet. To get plant life, we need to take more aggressive measure,” Zonders said. “There’s going to be a continuation of things like mylar tape and ground cover that makes it more difficult for them to walk, but there’s also going to be flashing of lasers, some pyrotechnics and some that make firework-type sounds.”

Lantern read, “Nice epidemic would delight med students.” The student medical council said in a meeting at the time, they would “consider an epidemic of mumps or measles a great aid,” the article read, in order to have more hospital patients on whom to practice. The president of the council said at the time it was a “blow to the council to discover the patient list has dropped to an appalling low for the year.” An OSU student had to withdraw from school in 1928 because he had mumps. While sick, his father came to campus to ask about his son’s status in school and met a doctor in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The father “was so impressed by what the doctor told him and what he saw of the school that he decided to enter school with his son (the following) fall,” the article read. In 1925, the French club performed “Bluebeard” instead of the originally scheduled play, “Thirteen at Dinner,” because the lead of the latter play had mumps. And in 1909, 105 years ago, an outbreak of mumps affected a group of about 40 agricultural students and “prevented (them from) attending classes” that week, according to the archives. Being cautious around sick friends is still a worry for students today because of the current outbreak. Matt Schilling, a first-year in communication, said he has been taking the extra time to sanitize things lately. He said if a friend caught mumps, his concern would increase. “If someone that you know gets the mumps, that should spark the concern that you have for yourself and the people around you because if it is someone that you know, it gives you a high chance of getting it,” he said.

Some students might need to stretch their dollar a little further in coming years, as trends show that Ohio State campus area rent is on the rise. A sample of 14 larger properties within one mile of the university area showed an average increase of 3.45 percent annually between 2003 and 2013, said Brian Gault, vice president and project director of Vogt Santer Insights, in an email Feb. 26. Vogt Santer Insights is a Columbus-based real estate research firm that creates housing market forecasts for clients, according to its website. “Among those 14 (properties), the rents at various properties increased an annual average range of 0.6 percent to 7.4 percent between 2003 and 2013, when we last conducted a thorough survey of the OSU off-campus area housing,” Gault said. The increase in the university district is greater than the average annual rent increase in Columbus overall, which is 2 percent, he said. A one-bedroom apartment in the university area has a median rent of $750, according to a survey conducted by Vogt Santer Insights in 2013. A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment goes for a median rent of $1,400 per month, and a four-bedroom, two-bathroom place runs at a median of $1,976 in rent. Gault noted the prices might have increased since the 2013 survey. He said the increases are not surprising, given the increasing demand for housing within walking distance of campus. “OSU undergraduate enrollment alone has grown by almost 6,700 students between fall 2004 and fall 2013,” he said. “This growth, combined with a moderate amount of new apartment development that has not kept pace with enrollment growth, has allowed campusarea owners at higher quality properties to increase rents at faster rates than owners of properties where students have less influence on market demand.”

SAE fraternity drops pledging process NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu For the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, pledging is now a thing of the past. The pledge process, which is the time between receiving a bid to join and being initiated as a member into the fraternity as a member and has often been associated with hazing practices, at times fatal ones, has been eliminated on the national level in favor of a new process, the “True Gentleman Experience.” “The True Gentleman” is the official creed of the fraternity. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, more commonly known as SAE, is one of 33 Interfraternity Council chapters at Ohio State. Its pledge process was typically nine weeks long, said Griffin Lahre, president of OSU’s SAE chapter. The new program removes the period of pledging, which can vary in length from chapter to chapter, and instead states everyone receiving a bid to join has to be initiated within 96 hours, according to a document outlining the True Gentleman Experience. “Pledge education” is set to be replaced with an all-inclusive “member education,” and membership requirements and expectations have been formally laid out for all members of the fraternity, according to the True Gentleman Experience document. The changes became effective March 9, the date the fraternity was founded 158 years ago at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. A representative from the national organization of SAE, based in Evanston, Ill., said the timing was purposeful. “We turned 158 (March 9), and in honor of our founders, we made the changes when we did. As drastic as it is, it takes it back to our founders’ values, since SAE didn’t originally have a pledge process,” said SAE national spokesman Brandon Weghorst. Although the pledge process was tradition for the fraternity for many years, it isn’t something that the fraternity was founded on and didn’t become a regular practice until after World War I, according to the True Gentleman Experience document. Lahre, a third-year in finance, said the changes won’t affect recruitment. “Already, we understand that it’s a necessary change and that it’s something that will end up benefiting the chapter down the road. We’re still going to be recruiting the same kind of guys

Weghorst said problems with the pledge process, including deaths and reports of hazing, were only part of the reason the changes were made. “The decision was bigger than that, but that’s one of the elements. One death is too many, one incident is too many. But we have had a number of incidents and deaths, which is regrettable. But the bad incidents gain more attention that the good things our members do, so we’re trying to move away from that perception of being a deadly fraternity,” Weghorst said. SAE was named the “deadliest fraternity” by Bloomberg in December after Bloomberg researched deaths in events related to fraternities. The True Gentleman Experience goes beyond eliminating pledging, Weghorst said, and the biggest benefit is that it removes class structure. “It’s not brother versus pledge. Also, it takes the educational elements and doesn’t cram it into a few weeks anymore. It extends it over several years, so we enhance our members’ experience every year,” Weghorst said. OSU Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said the changes are welcomed at OSU. “We support the national organization and are pleased that they are taking bold action with this historic change. We will provide whatever support

the local chapter needs as they make this transition,” Isaacs said in an email. OSU’s IFC is set to help ensure the True Gentleman Experience is implemented in the fraternity, said Cole Ledford, second-year in marketing, member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and IFC’s vice president for administration. “IFC relies heavily on the national organizations of each chapter, so we will want to be there for SAE to make sure brotherhood is able to be built despite the changes,” Ledford said. Ledford added the changes might be hard to accept, but he has faith in their execution. “Change is going to be hard for anyone, and a lot of the chapters here are old and based on tradition. It’ll take time to make sure everything is going smoothly, but SAE has some good guys to make it happen,” Ledford said. Although pledging will be eliminated, Lahre said he’s confident the positive elements that came from the pledging process, like getting to know the chapter’s members, can be retained. “(Pledging is) a good way for new members to get to know people in fraternity and develop an understanding of fraternity. We’ve done things very well and haven’t had incidents with hazing. At the same time, without the pledge process, we can still implement the things we got out of the pledge process in the past,” Lahre said. Elizabeth Tzagournis contributed to this article.

New feature aims to give dorm residents chance to find ‘compatible’ roommates Alex Drummer Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu Ohio State students applying to live on campus next year have the option to access a new “roommate finder” that would allow them to communicate with potential roommates, but some said they aren’t sold on the new feature. “We are trying to put more and more increasing ownership in the hands of students,” said Toni Greenslade-Smith, OSU housing administration director. The new option allows students to contact matches based on answers to the already existing questions on the housing contracts. These questions ask about things like students’ study hours and sleeping habits. Brian Rice, a second-year in mechanical engineering who plans to live on campus for a third year, however, accessed the roommate finder and said he wasn’t impressed. “Overall, I thought the information provided left a lot to be desired. The basic set of facts was not super helpful, and I would have liked to see some essay questions to better judge potential roommates,” Rice said. There was no cost associated with the addition of the roommate finder for the administration because it was part of a software package that was purchased in the past, Dave Isaacs, Student Life spokesman, said in an email. This new feature has been in the works for some time, but Greenslade-Smith said OSU wanted to make sure it was fully ready before premiering it. “We have been looking at it for a while. We just wanted to make sure that when we implemented it that we had tested it, and we didn’t want there to be any bugs,” Greenslade-Smith said. Renewal contracts for students currently living on campus opened up Jan. 25, and housing contracts for new students opened Saturday. Of the 3,950 students that Greenslade-Smith said accessed the renewal contracts between Jan. 25 and Feb. 7, 2,200 opted to allow their profile responses to be viewed by others along with their contact information. That does not necessarily mean all of those students will choose to use the feature, though, GreensladeSmith said, but students that do decide to use the feature are encouraged to keep checking the

If students using the feature neglect to make a selection by this date, they will be randomly assigned based on their answers, GreensladeSmith said. Students still have the option to have the administration assign them based on their answers, as well as the ability to request a specific roommate, Greenslade-Smith said. Students participating in the roommate finder can contact matches via email, and GreensladeSmith had suggestions for what they should talk about. “Introduce yourself, talk about what you’re looking for and then if the two of you decide you’re a good match, you would both have to let us know,” Greenslade-Smith said. Sarah Thompson, a first-year in social work living in a quad of random roommates, said that would be “extremely intimidating” and she

wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to use the feature if it had been available last year. “I know I was extremely shy and honestly didn’t really want to contact my roommates even after knowing who they were, and I wasn’t extremely concerned about living with others, so I probably wouldn’t have taken any initiative and would have just waited for others to contact me,” Thompson said. She said, though, she’s been fortunate this year. “I am extremely lucky because we all respect each other and even though we are not exactly alike, we get along fine and have not had any major issues,” Thompson said of her roommates. Abby Zalenski, a first-year in neuroscience, though, said she would have liked the opportunity to use the feature. Zalenski also lives in a quad, but her group of random roommates does not get along very well, she said. “It’s so important to have roommates who

have a similar idea of how things will be done in the room because some things just can’t be compromised upon … So, I think it is good that OSU is doing roommate finder to (help) match people who won’t necessarily be best friends but will be compatible roommates,” Zalenski said. Rice said, however, improvements could be made. “(The roommate finder) didn’t make it very easy to get in contact with potential roommates. All it provided was a dot number, and it felt weird to me to email someone out of the blue. I would have liked a built-in messaging system,” he said. Rice lived with two high school friends and one random roommate his freshman year and currently lives with a roommate he requested, but for next year, after realizing the roommate finder was not for him, he has decided to let the system match him with a random roommate, he said. “I learned that a good roommate doesn’t need to be your best friend, just someone you can develop mutual respect between,” he said.

Students, professors plan trip to Ghana with iPads in tow Muyao Shen Lantern reporter shen.414@osu.edu

OSU students traveled to Ghana in an effort to help a district deal with population growth.

“(IPads) have GPS units, which allows them to locate where these (houses) are geographically on the map,” Campbell said. “So you could know which had what answers to different survey questions.” Campbell said with iPads, the whole process of helping the community cope with population growth is much easier and more efficient.

Some Ohio State students and professors are trying to make the lives of people in Ghana a little easier by using iPads to conduct research. The Ghana “Sustainable Change” program aims to provide district planning that is “sensitive” to the local culture in order to help the Offinso North District of Ghana deal with population growth, according to its website. The program is in its fourth year this semester, with students set to travel to Ghana from May 9 to 23 to work on various projects and research. Joseph Campbell, research associate from School of Environment and Natural Resources at OSU, is co-running the Ghana program this year with Kim Burton, assistant professor in the Knowlton School of Architecture. Campbell said the program is more than a typical study abroad trip. “I almost don’t like to use the term study abroad because (the trip does) a lot more than that,” Campbell said. According to the Office of International Affairs’ website, the Ghana Sustainable Change program costs $3,726 in addition to OSU tuition per

Campbell said some of the accomplishments over the last two years have been remarkable. “We’ve worked on over two dozen different development projects there, some of which including the development of the base map,” Campbell said. Campbell said a base map is a map of where all the critical infrastructure is in the community. “We’ve looked (at) the equality of housing for villages, neighborhoods compared with how many people are living there, who has access to health care facilities, to education, all those things, so basically like demographic information,” Campbell said. Some students who have gone on the trip in years past said they enjoyed seeing people’s reactions when they arrived. “As soon as we arrived at the village, someone sent out a signal that there were visitors,” said Monica Baker, a second-year graduate student in health administration who went on the trip in 2013. “So people would just come running and some people would come running with these plastic chairs and they set them (chairs) in a circle for the visitors to sit together to have conversations. “They are just very welcoming,” Baker said. “Very, very welcoming.”

Housing from 1A The demand could lower in the near future, with the requirement to keep students in on-campus housing in their second year at OSU set to start for the 2016-17 school year. Campus dorms are in the process of being renovated and expanded to facilitate that change. The North Residential District Transformation is a $370 million renovation to the North Campus District that plans to add 3,200 additional student beds through the construction of 11 new buildings, which are expected to be ready for move-in fall 2016, in time for the start of OSU’s planned second-year live on requirement. The $171 million South Campus High Rise Renovation and Addition Project, which renovated several South Campus residence halls, was completed at the beginning of Fall Semester. Some students said they see the trend of increasing

Geese from 1A These methods are scheduled to be employed approximately 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset. For the first three weeks, the activities are set to happen each day of the week but after that, until December or the “vegetation matures,” the efforts will likely occur just Monday through Friday, according to the OSU release. Zonders said the effort is an agreement between Columbus city government, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Evans Landscaping, the company contracted by the government to carry out some of the river construction. “We received input from USDA that this was the way to go. If you’ve seen the dam removal and the Olentangy River restoration project … the final piece of that puzzle is to reintroduce and get going several

prices as problematic if the places being rented aren’t being kept up. “My landlord doesn’t respond well (to maintenance requests),” said Karissa Dodge, a second-year in animal sciences who lives in a house near 15th Avenue and Summit Street. “So if your landlord is responsive, then a price raise is fine. But if you’re like mine, it’s probably not.” Dodge said she lives with five other girls and their total rent is $2,730 per month. Others said they think the rent in the university area is already more than it should be. “It’s kind of a rip off,” said Nick Wilker, a fourthyear in agricultural business who lives in an apartment on Indianola Avenue. “They shouldn’t be near that expensive.” Despite the quality being less than what he thinks it should be for the price, Wilker said he doesn’t see the trend changing.

native species of plants,” Zonders said. “The reason for those is to prevent erosion … and help filtrate storm water.” The total cost was $6.9 million, which includes $500,000 in grant funding from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, $2 million from Ohio State and $2.1 million from the City of Columbus. Plastic signing was set to be placed along the river corridor to alert people of what’s happening, the release said. OSU spokeswoman Liz Cook said OSU is working to generate awareness of the project. “In that the project is occurring along the banks of the Olentangy River and very visible to the university community, Ohio State is assisting to ensure that faculty, staff and students are aware of the developments,” Cook said in an email.

studentvoice Editorial: Columbus a strategic option for political convention LANTERN STAFF The streets of Columbus were a blur of campaign posters, field volunteers and the ever-repeated question: “Have you registered to vote?” The airwaves were captivated by the rehearsed voices of politicians and every prime-time commercial break was a reminder of Election Day. In fall 2012, Columbus was a battlefield. In the showdown between President Barack Obama and thenRepublican candidate Mitt Romney, Ohio was everything. Every poll was saying the same thing: Win Ohio and you’ll win the election. The result was months of stump speeches with pandering references to the Buckeyes, impromptu sandwich stops at Sloopy’s Diner, branded buses parked outside the Ohio Union and even, on one occasion, a full-page ad placed in The Lantern by the Ohio Democratic Party with a quote from Romney saying he’s a Michigan Wolverine fan. We guess they knew their audience. Obama ended up winning Franklin County and winning Ohio — and consequently, he secured the presidency. In the ensuing year and a half, life in Columbus has returned to normalcy. But with 2016 looming around the corner, the political spotlight is on the city once again. Columbus is a finalist to host the Republican National Convention and there is considerable buzz surrounding the Democratic National Convention in 2016, and we think either would be foolish to pass up the opportunity. It would give the opportunity for that party to connect with Columbus residents on a personal level, bringing in its biggest names and giving locals a chance to voice their needs and concerns face-to-face. Columbus is a thriving city with a great local business scene — something members of both parties can agree is a good thing to have. It’s Midwestern, and it’s a political battleground with an established convention center and two major arenas. If Ohio wins elections, why not bring the elections to Ohio? Columbus can’t host both conventions, but whoever secures the city first will be looking better for it in 2016.

LTE: University drags its feet in releasing pension to partner Letter to the editor: I am writing concerning the treatment that I received from Ohio State Human Resources while trying to collect the pension/contract monies of my partner of 10 years who was employed as an assistant professor at OSU. He was a gay African-American and died while he was employed with OSU May 20. I have removed the names of the people that I have dealt with at OSU, although I am certain if they read this, they will know who they are. Prior to moving to Ohio, we were legally married in the state of New York March 9, 2012. Upon his hiring at Ohio State, we became Ohio residents and signed an OSU Domestic Partner agreement in September 2012. I was the only recipient of my partner’s OSU (Minnesota Life) life insurance policy. However, the additional monies that were due from his pension/contract have not been paid — although it has been more than eight months since his death. He did not have a signed Last Will and Testament. His Ohio Department of Health Death Certificate indicated he was “Never Married.” Within the week after my partner’s death, I talked with the chair of his department, who directed me to his department’s HR and Fiscal Officer. I was told by her that the matter was out of their hands and that I needed to continue the conversation with OSU Human Resources. I was initially told by OSU Human Resources there would not be

a problem in collecting the remaining monies on his contract. He referred me to a rather rude person in the Office of the Controller. She initially told me that “a check has been made out to him, and is on its way to him.” After carefully re-explaining to her that my partner was deceased — and could not receive or endorse a check — she continued to insist that the monies were on their way. I was referred to a Columbus attorney, who explained that our relationship is not recognized in Ohio and that the issue would probably be forwarded to Probate Court. When I searched the Probate Court online database Jan. 16, I was unable to ascertain if his case had been listed. I was also told by the attorney that the process might go smoother if I passed the task over to his “next-of-kin,” who could legally receive the remaining monies on his contract. I contacted his mother, who lives in Hampton, Va. My partner’s mother has in her possession her son’s birth certificate, his death certificate, his OSU employee ID and her proof of identification (proving that she was his mother or, his “next-of-kin”). Unfortunately, the process has not become any easier for her, as she has contacted many people at OSU Human Resources in a futile effort to obtain assistance. She said she also had a conversation with the same rude person at the OSU Office of the Controller who informed her that the process was taking such a long time because my partner and I had “a ‘special’ relationship” (which should have nothing to do with attempting to receive her son’s remaining contract funds). I am still trying to figure out if her comments to her meant that OSU has

a special homophobic policy that its gay employees are not made aware of when they are hired. I hope she can explain if there is such a policy, although I trust that is not the case. I know my partner’s family would like to get this matter resolved soon, as it has been a tremendously long and arduous process. In speaking for my partner’s mother; I want to add that she is an elderly lady that has limited funds and has had to deal with deteriorating health, coupled with the loss of her oldest child. She lives more than 500 miles from Columbus, and cannot make the trip to Ohio without extreme difficulty. She has sent all paperwork that was required of her, and is still having trouble getting a productive response. The bottom line is that I believe if we had been a heterosexual couple, this matter would have been resolved within a month after his death. I felt that I would be able to expedite the process by letting his mother collect the funds, rather than me (I still want to give the pension funds to his mother, though). She has had to endure too much abuse from the personnel at OSU and the OSU Probate Court, coupled with the death of her oldest son. I moved to my current address in July and am now a resident of New York state (which recognizes gay marriages). Why has this process taken more than nine months, by a school that considers itself a “liberal” institution? Michael S. Anderson Partner of a deceased faculty member michael.anderson955@gmail.com

Dress well, test well mantra gives confidence, results on exam day campus columnist

When test day came along in high school, it meant one thing: sweatpants, hair tied, (not so) chilling with no makeup on. After cramming all night memorizing verb tenses for Spanish or physics equations, there was no way I was going to even think about putting on jeans at 7 a.m. I dressed “nicely” most days in high school, just not test days. I usually threw on a pair of jeans and that super cute sweater you saw at American Eagle with some Sperrys and called it a day. Test days though? I was lucky to match my T-shirt to my sweatpants. However, that mindset quickly changed for me when I entered college in fall 2011. Now in my junior year hannah chenetski at Ohio State, I have come to the firm conclusion that chenetski.4@osu.edu looking good makes you feel good and dressing well makes you test well. Although a direct correlation between clothing and test results hasn’t been proven, there is some truth to the idea that a person who dresses like they have confidence will in fact, have confidence. The clothes I pick out in the morning can have an effect on my attitude and self-confidence for the entire day. Carly Heitlinger, author of the book “The Freshman 50” and writer of the blog The College Prepster agrees with me. She praises the “dress well, test well” theory and believes dressing well can instill self-confidence, which is necessary for test taking. Heitlinger discusses the idea of a “power outfit,” which is essentially a go-to outfit composed of comfortable, yet flattering pieces. She says that wearing a great outfit can ease test or presentation nerves because it boosts your confidence. I, myself, usually stick with a typical style on test days, like Heitlinger suggests. Usually I try to stray away from leggings and opt for jeans instead. Depending on the weather, I will pair my jeans with a cute sweater or flowy top and obviously top it off with adorable accessories. Comfortable and flattering. Putting effort into my outfits in the morning makes me more self-aware and focused to take on the day. I feel that I can conquer anything with the right outfit. Marilyn Monroe was right when she said, “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” Or at least that international studies exam.

Meyer talks program culture, backup QBs eric seger Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu In college football, coaches and rosters change every offseason, regardless of the success a team had the year before. Incoming recruiting classes and departures of staff members cause an overhaul for any team, but in the case of Ohio State, there is one thing coach Urban Meyer wants to keep at the forefront of his program. “I gotta make sure that we’re clarity of purpose, of culture, here at Ohio State,” Meyer said after practice Tuesday, his team’s first of the season in pads. “Not scared to make a mistake … it’s the very aggressive approach to what we’re going to do. “I want to make sure the culture’s clear. And to say that, I put that on myself. I want to make sure there’s clarity of purpose at Ohio State.” Meyer addressed the media Tuesday after his team’s third practice of the spring, and the first since the university was on spring break last week. The battle for senior quarterback Braxton Miller’s backup is heating up, but Meyer said redshirtsophomore Cardale Jones is “running with the ones right now” because of how he has matured from last season to spring ball. “Cardale, you talk about a changed guy. He was a guy that couldn’t get out of his own way a couple years ago,” Meyer said. “You remember the famous tweet or whatever. It’s a different guy. Which it had to be a different guy or he wouldn’t be here.” The tweet Meyer referred to was one Jones posted from his personal account, @Cordale10, Oct. 5 on having to go to class. “Why should we have to go class if we came here to play FOOTBALL,” the tweet read. “We ain’t come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS.” Another position of interest is running back, where Meyer said neither sophomore Ezekiel Elliott, redshirt-sophomore Bri’onte Dunn or redshirt-senior

Nick deibel Lantern reporter deibel.30@osu.edu Down to its final three outs on two separate occasions, Ohio State wasn’t about to let a scrappy Akron team put the cap on its win streak. The Buckeyes (12-6, 0-0) battled against the Zips (7-9, 0-0) all game, pulling out a 6-5 victory in 11 innings Tuesday for their fourth straight victory. Coach Greg Beals said winning games against fellow Ohio schools is an important goal for the team. “This team and this university claim itself to be the Ohio State University so we need to represent that and we need to defend that and every time we get a state school coming in here, we need to be ready to go,” Beals said after the win. The Zips lit the scoreboard first when redshirt senior catcher Brady Stewart hit an RBI single off of sophomore pitcher Jake Post. The Buckeyes quickly answered in the second inning, however, when junior catcher Connor Sabanosh crushed an RBI double off the top of the left field fence, less than a foot from clearing it for a homerun. Akron continued to hit the ball hard off Post early in the game, scoring two more runs in the third and fourth innings to bring the score to 3-1 heading into fifth. Post retired the first two batters in each inning the Zips scored. Post was pulled after pitching five innings and giving up six hits, three earned runs and six strikeouts.

Freshman outfielder Ronnie Dawson (4) celebrates with teammates after the game-winning run against Akron March 18 at Bill Davis Stadium. OSU won, 6-5. “I thought Jake was OK, he struck guys out. I think he needs to be more efficient. He got down in the count, first-pitch strike needs to be at a higher rate,” Beals said. “But you see his ability to strike hitters out, that means he has good stuff if you’re getting a lot of swings and misses.” OSU got a much needed run in the fifth inning when sophomore second baseman Troy Kuhn hit his third homerun of the season, a towering solo shot that sailed well past the left field fence. Redshirt-senior pitcher Tyler Giannonatti came on to pitch the ninth inning for OSU after freshman Travis Lakins tossed three scoreless frames.

Akron’s redshirt-senior infielder James Sheltrown hit an RBI single to left field to give Akron an insurance run heading into the bottom of the ninth. Down two runs, senior left fielder Tim Wetzel led off the bottom of the ninth by taking four straight balls, then advancing to second base on a balk by Akron sophomore pitcher Zach Beaver. Beaver continued to help the Buckeyes when he threw sophomore third baseman Jacob Bosiokovic’s groundball past his first baseman, scoring Wetzel to tie the game and send it into extra innings. In the 10th inning, junior pitcher Trace Dempsey quickly retired all three Akron batters.

Dempsey found himself in some trouble in the 11th inning, though, with the bases loaded and two outs. With the count at 3-2, Dempsey walked the go ahead run across the plate to give the Zips a 5-4 lead. “Trace has a tendency to try too hard,” Beals said. “He gets caught up sometimes and I think instead of trusting his ability when a situation gets real tight like that, he tries to throw harder and tries to do too much and he got himself in trouble there.” With two men on base in the bottom of the 11th inning, freshman centerfielder Ronnie Dawson smacked a ground rule double, scoring the tying run and putting pinch runner sophomore Jake Brobst on third base. “At the beginning of the day, I was not feeling it at all, but I just had to make an adjustment and that’s what I did,” Dawson said. Freshman outfielder Troy Montgomery stepped up to the plate as a pinchhitter, sailing a deep flying ball into right field for a sacrifice fly and scoring Brobst for an OSU victory. Beals said he was encouraged by his teams’ resiliency throughout the game. “I feel really good about our ability to bounce back. We got behind in the game, but we found a way to score in the ninth inning to tie the ballgame up and then again in the 11th inning, we were down and needed to score and we got two to close it out and win,” Beals said. The Buckeyes are scheduled to return to action against Xavier at 5:05 p.m. Wednesday at Bill Davis Stadium.

culture,” Meyer said, then comparing him to former offensive lineman Reid Fragel, who was a third string tight end when Meyer arrived before molding himself into a starter on the line. “To say Taylor Decker, and this is not to be disrespectful, was the toughest guy in the world when he came here? No. But you sit in the meeting room with his line coach and with those four guys that just left … Same with Reid Fragel. Reid Fragel was a third string tight end that didn’t play at all. Now all of a sudden he’s playing pro football. How’d that happen? It’s because there’s a culture developed in the offensive line room. So Taylor Decker so far has been, he’s really growing into a very good player,” Meyer said. Another player who has caught his coach’s eye is sophomore linebacker Darron Lee, who Meyer said is inexperienced, but is going hard. And that’s all that matters. “I have no idea what he’s doing and he has no idea probably either. But I don’t care,” Meyer said, then alluding again to the culture he wants developed within the program. “You’re not being graded on what a kid’s doing right now. You’re being graded on being a leader, and as a coach — will a kid play as hard as he possibly can? There’s never been a team in 27 years of coaching that a team that didn’t play the hardest didn’t win that game,” Meyer said. Meyer also mentioned that he and the rest of the staff did research on other teams that run the spread offense, particularly Clemson and Texas A&M. The Tigers shredded OSU’s defense for 576 yards in their 40-35 win in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl Jan. 3. “We’ve done a lot, and this is a great time of the year to really study the game,” Meyer said. “I think we’ve done a good job and now we gotta see an improvement on the field.” Meyer and the Buckeyes are set to open their 2014 campaign Aug. 30 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore against Navy. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m.

Freshman outside hitter Miles Johnson (13) hits the ball during a match against Grand Canyon Feb. 21 at St. John Arena. OSU won, 3-1.

A poor start doomed the Ohio State men’s volleyball team against Harvard. OSU lost its fourth consecutive match in a 3-2 decision against the Crimson Tuesday. The loss put the Buckeyes at 8-12 for the season. OSU was lacking in certain areas, which led to the nail-biting defeat, freshman setter Christy Blough said. “We need to start our matches stronger. We were not able to get a good start in this match. We were able to come back in the middle, but still lost it in the end,” he said. The Buckeyes lost the first two sets, but came back with a win in the next two sets. Coach Pete Hanson said the team barely missed its chance to win it in the end set. “We just couldn’t make the last couple of plays and Harvard did,” Hanson said. Redshirt-freshman outside hitter Alex Judkins

said OSU played physically at the net and its blocking skills were in action tonight, which contributed to the comeback mid-match. Hanson said the Buckeyes still need to become more consistent. “We are such a young team. We ride a wave, we are up and down,” he said. “We just have to get our play at a steady pace.” The Buckeyes were missing one of their top players, redshirt-junior opposite Andrew Lutz. Hanson said getting the starting line-up back on the court could result in a turnaround for the Buckeyes. Three players contributed double digit kills for the Buckeye offense: redshirt-freshman middle blocker Driss Guessous had 18, freshman outside hitter Miles Johnson added 16, and junior outside hitter Michael Henchy contributed 14 kills. The Buckeyes still have a lot to work on as a team, but Hanson said time and experience should help. “Setting the tone earlier is something we need to do a better job of. We need certain guys to step up and take charge at the right time,” he said. OSU is next set to play Ball State Sunday in Muncie, Ind., at 4 p.m.

Craft beer shop to enter Clintonville with a growl

Summer Music Festivals OPINION

Fall Out Boy, Andrew W.K. worth trip to Cincinnati’s Bunbury Fest

MARK SPIGOS / Lantern reporter

Beer and wine boutique Growl! is located at 2995 N. High St.

MARK SPIGOS Lantern reporter spigos.4@osu.edu A new shop in Clintonville hopes to make its entrance heard. The neighborhood’s food and beverage scene has welcomed its latest addition with the opening of Growl!, a craft beer and wine shop located at 2995 N. High St. The beer and wine shop is a joint venture between co-owners Philip Hamilton and Jonathan Kindsvatter, who both reside in Clintonville. Hamilton said he and his business partner want to offer “great beer and great service” to local craft beer enthusiasts. “The quality of the beer that we have deserves a certain level of service, and we’re trying to bring that level of service to the arena and to the neighborhood,” Hamilton said. The aim of Growl!, Hamilton continued, is to be as prestigious as a wine store. “Wine stores have traditionally been nicer than beer stores because the prestige factor and the pricing of the product have demanded a certain retail atmosphere,” Hamilton said. “We’re trying to bring that beer store atmosphere up to the quality that we think that today’s craft beers deserve.” Growl! had its soft opening March 8, unveiling a rotating selection of 41 handcrafted beers on tap, as well as a selection of bottled wine. The beer is currently limited to carryout purchase, and is being sold in both 32- and 64-ounce growlers. “We do have a pint license pending,” Hamilton said. “So eventually we’d like to bring the option to have a pint, as well.” For the time being, customers will be able to taste 2-ounce pours of wine and beer in the store for no charge. Hamilton said Growl! is selling its glass growler containers for $5 a piece. The current selections on tap range from $9 to $22 per 64-ounce growler. For 32-ounce growlers, the cost of a 64-ounce is divided in half, plus $1.50. Mark Naiman, a fourth-year in microbiology, said he visited Growl! with a few friends following the soft opening. He thinks the shop will fit into the emerging “craft beer environment” around the campus area. “You can find something there that you can’t find at bars around here,” he said. “They definitely have an interesting selection.

MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu The Bunbury Festival might be Ohio’s premier fest for those seeking balance … that is, solely in the spectrum of alternative rock anyway. The batch of bands coming to the Cincinnati festival in July aren’t all that diverse outside of that genre past and present; looking at lineups from 2013 and 2012, one will see Weezer and Death Cab for Cutie, as well as acts that require more research like Divine Fits and Devotchka. This balance comes in the form of the nostalgic alt-rock (middle school-era for today’s college kids; Paramore, Fall Out Boy) as well as some up-and-comers (The Orwells, Cults). So there’s stuff to get plastered on and sing to, and perhaps something new to get hooked on, all for relatively cheap — $145 gets you into all three days July 11-13.

albumreviews ‘Supermodel’ jubilant, wears many hats SAM HARRINGTON Senior Lantern reporter harrington.227@osu.edu Lively, entertaining, jubilant and thoughtprovoking — those are just a few words that can describe Foster the People’s second album “Supermodel.” But even with its positive attributes in mind, no song rises to the catchinesslevel of its precursor’s hit song “Pumped Up Kicks.” That being said, Foster the People’s previous success does not diminish its latest work. The 11-song album released Tuesday is a fullyformed, high-quality album that shows off the band’s versatility. Songs like the fast-paced pop-anthem “Are You What You Want To Be?” and the funkenthused “Best Friend,” to the psychedelic “Pseudologia Fantastica” and the acoustic “Fire Escape” all show the band’s vast musical ability. Many of the songs sound light-hearted and joyous. But, at times, they fail to capture the moment and serve best as background music. While the sound of these songs is often cheerful, that does not match the tone of the introspective lyrics.

Themes of hardship, contentment and truth-seeking run through the album. Songs like “Nevermind,” in which the band questions the legitimacy of post-modernism, and “A Beginner’s Guide to Destroying the Moon,” which reveals that the band’s search for answers has only revealed questions, echo these themes. These lyrics speak toward the band’s wish to create an

[ a+e ] OSU students bring American performance, art to China THY THY NGUYEN Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu It is not every day that Ohio State receives recognition for its art programs instead of its engineering or business departments. One group of students studying the arts might have impacted what OSU is known for globally when it traveled to China this month. Nearly 30 OSU students involved in the performing arts went to China from March 7 to Monday in order to showcase their work for audiences. Students from OSU’s Jazz Ensemble, some members that are involved in the Department of Dance and the Freestyle Rap and Beatbox Club presented their performances in the cities of Nanning, Xinxiang, Shenyang and Changchun. Trips such as this show the arts are important to OSU, Bob Eckhart, the executive director of the combined ESL programs, Department of Teaching and Learning, and director of the WHO-OSU Center for American Culture, said. “I can’t stress enough how important the arts are to Ohio State University. They’re a vital part to this campus because they add so much culture and life to Ohio State. Without the arts, Ohio State could pretty much be academics and athletics. So, the arts provide a great balance to that,” Eckhart said. John Houston, a 2012 OSU graduate who majored in theatre, said the experience of visiting other countries is important. “It’s definitely important to get out of your bubble (in order) to see the world as other people see it and to experience new places. And China is certainly a different and new place,” Houston, said. Houston performed a solo theatrical piece while he was there about Muhammad Ali. His creation is titled “When a Man Stands Alone: The Life of the Louisville Lip.” Houston said he thought the people in China enjoyed his performance. “Definitely. They definitely enjoyed (my performance). People stuck around for a long time because my show is just as visual as it is verbal. I think they understood from my body language what was happening and the tone of my voice what was happening,” Houston said. The students also visited and performed at Wuhan University, a university with which

Nearly 30 OSU students involved in the performing arts went to China from March 7-17 to showcase their work for audiences. OSU has had a research partnership for more than 30 years, Eckhart said. The students at Wuhan University seemed happy to meet him, Houston said. “It was really nice. They were really welcoming. They really wanted to learn from us, to see what America was like. They had a lot of questions about what we do with our time and how we spend our days. It’s interesting. The cities and cultures are very different. But when you get down to a personal level, people are the same. They want a lot of the same things. They want to have a good time, they want to have friends. They want to have a family that loves them,” Houston said. Eckhart said the opportunity to travel to China was the result of a $50,000 grant from the U.S. State Department he applied for last spring and was awarded later in the summer. The trip was also supported by other privately raised funds. Eckhart said when he wrote the proposal for the grant, he wanted to focus on OSU’s

commitment to the arts and sending student art performers abroad. He also received a little bit of help in writing it from Christopher Carey, the director of the Global Gateways initiative, and Ashley Behrendt, business manager for the Global Gateways and assistant director of the WHO-OSU Center for American Culture. Eckhart said he is happy to spread more awareness about the performing arts OSU has to offer. “Most of the people in China, when they think of Ohio State, they think of the business school and the engineering school and I wanted them (the people in China) to learn about the arts and how we have a great arts program at the Ohio State University,” Eckhart said.
