Report finds OSU’s sexual violence services valuable, but could improve

“This is a huge problem, but people don’t take it seriously because sexual assault isn’t clearly defined.” That response, from a survey conducted by the Undergraduate Student Government to assess the climate and knowledge of sexual assault at Ohio State, sums up the results of the Sexual Violence Task Force’s findings. USG conducted 634 student surveys asking various questions about sexual assault

and gauging how well-known OSU’s sexual assault assistance programs are. The Sexual Violence Task Force that conducted the surveys determined that there are some things OSU does well, but the university also has a long way to go. Sarah Hudacek, the deputy director of academic affairs for USG and a secondyear in public affairs, said she thought it was important for USG to talk about sexual violence and release the report. “We speak for the student body, particularly on issues when the student body can’t speak for themselves and with an issue as sensitive as sexual violence when people

might be afraid of stepping up and saying something, I think it’s important that we speak for them and that they have the ability to speak through us,” said Hudacek, who also served as the co-chair of the task force. About 82 percent of students said they had heard monthly or more frequently about sexual violence cases on or around campus from media outlets, campus safety notices or other presentations, but few knew about the services OSU offers. More than 38 percent of the surveyed students reported that someone “fondled,

Self-exploration through dance SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Asst. arts editor ruibal.1@osu.edu Kylee Smith’s paternal ancestors are from Abbeville, S.C., famously known as the birthplace and deathbed of the Confederacy. A distant uncle of hers was lynched in the town square and her greatgrandfather was the first African-American deputy sheriff in the county. From those family ties and stories, Smith, a second-year in dance, was inspired to choreograph her piece “Bloodlines,” which will be featured in the Ohio State Department of Dance’s spring concert, “Absolute Existence,” which features 15 undergraduate and graduate performers. “I wanted to say something about these thoughts and these feelings that I have about my ancestry, and it came to fruition in this piece,” Smith said. “It’s not literal components per se, but my movement and my emotion is coming from a place that is inspired by these things that I am working on in myself. “I have a love for dance, but also written and spoken word,” said Smith, who also has a minor in creative writing. The score for her piece is mostly vocal, starting

Spring dance concert features students moving with meaning

Three justices of the Undergraduate Student Government Judicial Panel resigned at a General Assembly meeting on Wednesday. Justices Andrew Braun, Morgan Johnson and Aaron Vaughn resigned after facing impeachment at the meeting. Chief Justice Brandon Cruz resigned last week, members of the Judicial Panel said. The new chief justice is Taylor Marsilio, a former justice. He took office after Cruz’s resignation. Additionally, there will be no special election on the divestment issue, or “Issue 1,” said USG President Celia Wright, a fourth-year in public health. Issue 1 was brought forth by a petition from the organization OSU Divest, and asked whether student voters thought OSU should divest — or cut financial ties — from companies “complicit in Israeli human rights violations and the occupation of the Palestinian Territories,” according to the OSU Divest website. Initially, the Judicial Panel decided to deny Issue 1 a spot on the ballot because the petition failed to meet certain submission criteria outlined in the USG election bylaws. The panel later issued a press release that acknowledged “the presence of procedural error in the handling of this case,” and said the issue could show up on a special ballot at the end of March, pending General Assembly approval. The USG Judicial Panel announced the vote March 11. This announcement was part of the accusations leading to the impeachment, according to a resolution that brought forth the suggestion of impeaching some justices, titled “articles of impeachment.” The justices were accused of overstepping their constitutional boundaries by declaring a special election, which is not mentioned in the USG bylaws. The three justices faced impeachment but

May Session will no longer be free after this year, a move met with early mixed reaction from students. Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Steinmetz told The Lantern in a Tuesday interview that tuition will be charged for May Session starting next spring, and that the entire model of summer courses could be different as well. The University Senate fiscal committee recommended last year that Ohio State should start charging for the three credit hours in May Session, which are currently free to students enrolled full-time during Spring Semester. But Steinmetz said he wanted to wait until 2016 because by then, most of the students who attended OSU during the semester switch would have graduated. May Session was created when OSU

campus Midway on High requiring student IDs on weekends MICHAEL COLIN Lantern reporter mikecolin13@gmail.com Citing its decision as an effort to cut down on “creeps” and other people lurking around the bar and dance floor on weekends, Midway on High said it has started requiring a student ID in addition to a driver’s license for entry on Friday and Saturday nights. The plan to eliminate non-students from the bar was announced last month on Midway’s official Twitter account, @MidwayonHigh. The account tweeted, “In an effort to cut down on [weird] (sic) non-student creepy people at the bar, we will be checking for college ID at the doors at 11.” Midway, which serves customers 21 years of age and older, had been receiving complaints from patrons who claimed older people visiting the bar on weekend nights exhibited strange behavior and performed various illegal activities like thefts, said Chang Song, a 2012 Ohio State graduate and manager at Midway. “There’s been incidents in the past … where the crowds were not ideal in terms of the demographic coming,” he said. According to RAIDS Online, a website that tracks crimes, Midway had been the site of 25 reported crimes in the last year. RAIDS is an acronym that stands for “Regional Analysis and Information Data Sharing.” These crimes included one robbery, three assaults and 15 thefts. However, there have not been any reported crimes at Midway since the end of January.

Song said Midway is a college bar with a business model aimed at students, and he wants to keep it that way. “We don’t want pickpockets, thieves. It goes so far as people doing other crimes of sorts, sexual in nature,” he said. “We want to keep that out of here.” But Song said Midway isn’t trying to stop people from having fun. All college IDs will be accepted, he said, although there are still some “gray areas” that will require staff to use their best judgement. “In terms of certain people who don’t have a BuckID or college ID … we kind of look at the group and say, ‘Here’s a bunch of students with their friend who’s from Indiana and forgot their student ID.’ Well, we’re not going to preclude you from coming in,” he said. The decision to require a college ID was done primarily to ensure student safety, Song said. “This wasn’t a decision driven on business,” he said. “I want (students) to enjoy a safe environment … It’s not always about dollar signs.” The decision to have patrons show college IDs is a relatively new policy among campus-area bars, as most only require patrons to show their valid 21-year-old ID for entry. Song said that although Midway and nearby bar Ethyl & Tank have the same ownership, only Midway has adopted this policy. Melanie Leonard, a third-year in fashion and retail merchandising and a bartender at Midway, said that since the new policy has been implemented, there have been far less incidents in the bar.

Midway on High, located at 1728 N. High St., is a popular campus bar and restaurant for OSU students. “It seems like a more relaxed crowd,” she said. “Our biggest issue lately has been people being too drunk.” Columbus Division of Police Sgt.

It’s first piece Wiltz has choreographed in college. Her inspiration for the piece, she said, was from the feelings and images she gets when listening to music. The song the piece is set to is “Pendulum” by FKA twigs. “When listening to the song, I felt like it was easy to be put into a trance,” Wiltz said. “I told my dancers to act like they were being controlled by someone or manipulated by something. There’s a lot of play between the music causing dancers to do different things.”

put a policy on it because safety is more than a policy, it’s an awareness,” he said. “People have a responsibility for themselves to be safe.” Evan Butler, a fourth-year in biology, said he thinks the new policy is a good idea, citing the need for college students to be happy and have a good time at bars.

In graduate students Tammy Carrasco and Sarah Levitt’s duet, “Semi-Formal,” the similarities of the two dance majors are explored. “We’re both small, sort of strong women, and we both have dark curly hair and fair skin so we thought there might be some content stylistically in our physical experience and the fact that we move a lot alike,” Levitt said. Levitt said she and Carrasco have been dancing all their lives and concentrate on modern style. “We move very quick and I think because we’re smaller, we learned how to make ourselves appear larger on stage at a young age,” Levitt said. “I think there’s some movement preferences in that, in moving quickly, getting on and off the floor quickly and trying to move as big as we can.” The spring concert runs Thursday through Saturday at Barnett Theatre in Sullivant Hall. Performances are every day at 8 p.m. with an additional 3 p.m. performance Saturday. Tickets are $15 for the general public, and $10 for OSU students, faculty, staff and senior citizens.

Clarification Issue 20/Monday

kissed or rubbed up against the private areas of their body or removed their clothing against their wishes” and 8 percent of students reported that they were sexually penetrated against their wishes. “It’s not a cookie-cutter issue,” Hudacek said. “It happens to so many different kinds of people in so many different ways and we wanted to emphasize that and that kind of shows through in our report.” Of those who were sexually assaulted, 75 percent said their perpetrator caught them off guard, or ignored non-verbal cues or facial expressions, and 56 percent said their perpetrator took advantage of them “when they were too drunk, high, asleep, or in a poor state of consciousness,” according to the report. After reviewing the surveys, USG applauded some of OSU’s sexual assault initiatives, but it also called on the university to do more to help those students who are sexually assaulted. Specifically, the task force said OSU has “blazed the trail in addressing sexual violence proactively” with its Buckeyes Got Your Back program, which encourages students to look out for their friends and others by doing something if they see something that makes them feel uncomfortable. The program aims to stop the bystander effect, which occurs when people see an emergency event, like a potential sexual assault or sexual harassment, but don’t do anything to help prevent it. The more people are around, the more they assume someone else will do something, and the bystander effect gets worse. USG’s task force also said the university needed more staff members who exclusively focus on sexual violence education and support. It praised the hiring of another member to the team, but said because OSU only has three full-time staff members (not counting faculty or staff who are also trained in SVES but do other things), they are each responsible for 21,623 students. About one in four women are sexually assaulted while they’re college students, according to USG’s It’s On Us Campaign, which also aims to combat the bystander effect. Given that statistic, the three fulltime faculty members are each responsible for 5,405 students in need of help, the report said. OSU has the second-lowest staff levels per capita among 15 other institutions of similar size.

May Session from 1A

switched to semesters from quarters in 2012. It’s a four-week session that’s separate from the seven-week Summer Session, which together comprise Summer Term. This year, it starts May 11 and ends June 5. Students who enrolled in May Session are still responsible for paying student fees, including Central Ohio Transit Authority and activity fees, which total $46.75 this year for three credit hours. Without the tuition waiver, the three credit hours for May Session would cost about $1,190 in general and instructional fees alone, plus an out-of-state surcharge for students who aren’t Ohio residents. Last year, a budget review committee issued a report that estimated the university could expect an $11 million to $12 million revenue gain each year if students were charged for Maymester, assuming an 8.5 percent participation rate. Steinmetz said he and President Michael Drake have been talking about ways to make better use of Summer Semester in general. One way, he said, would be through offering more online courses. Others are more complex. “The other might be to re-envision how we are using May along with the Summer Session,” he said. “There’s all kinds of ways to think about how you would divide that time up, into thirds, into half. There’s other ways to look at it.” He said because there’s a four-week May Session and then a seven-week Summer Session, there’s the possibility to have four-week, eight-week and 11-week classes. “Those are three possibilities that would all allow you to use that May Session together with the other parts of the summer,” Steinmetz said.

First-year in neuroscience Hannah Konicki said she hasn’t had to take a May Session course yet, but likes having the option as long as it’s available. “I think I would, definitely,” she said. “I’m pre-med, so a lot of what I’m doing during the semester is just my science classes, and if I had the Maymester that goes through the whole summer, I could get my gen-eds done, because I want to minor. So, I have to take a lot of classes in summer anyway.” Caroline Mashni, a second-year in business, said she agrees with Steinmetz’s decision to charge for the classes. “I think that the fact the university was compensating for the quarter-to-semester change with the free Maymester is a valid reason to make it not free anymore, because students are not going to be struggling with the quarter-to-semester change anymore,” she said. She added that she still would take the May Session class even though it is not free, but prefers to stick to the seven-week summer session. But Spencer Uram, a third-year in material science engineering, said May Session classes simply do not interest him. “I work over the summer, so there really is not a huge draw for me to take a class over the summer, especially if it’s not going to be free anymore,” Uram said. “I could go to a community college and get a cheap credit out of the way if I needed to.” There’s been discussion among OSU’s professional schools about the College of Arts and Sciences offering more general education courses during May Session, Steinmetz said. But the problem is that “May Session isn’t a good time for some gen-eds.” “So a good example is an English literature course, you probably don’t wanna take in four weeks and read 26 books or something,” he said. “That’s probably not going to quite work. But there are other types of courses that I think are really well-suited to four weeks.” He also mentioned that Vice Provost for Academic Programs Randy Smith has been working with a group to come up with recommendations about how to most effectively use Summer Session and May Session together. “So it’s sort of, in a way, an evaluation of that session, of whether it’s achieving the things that we want or not,” Steinmetz said. He added that he and Drake also “have a group that we formed that’s … going to come back to us with some thoughts about summer.” “I don’t know if we’d even call it a May Session anymore, so it depends what comes out of this,” he said.

Perhaps the biggest change USG called for was a comprehensive Center for Sexual Violence Education and Support. The task force said the resources OSU offers are too spread out and that students often don’t know where to go to find them. They suggested that creating a center would help alleviate these problems. “With so many, it’s not really clear for someone who’s just been assaulted as to where to start,” said USG President Celia Wright, a fourth-year in public health. “(A center) would really help us as a university to streamline that.” The report also called on OSU to create an “Affirmative Consent Policy” to “address confusion about how consent and rape is defined.” At least one student who answered the survey said they didn’t know what constituted permission, and USG was inspired by seven of the 23 universities it examined that had a similar policy. Hudacek said the plans the task force outlined could continue for the next USG president and staff. “It’s a game plan really, a road map for where we should go in the future,” she said. USG also asked for amnesty for those who are assaulted while they are drinking underage and recommended adding sexual violence consent and training into all mandatory freshman survey courses. Beginning last summer, OSU first-year orientation sessions included a video discussing sexual violence, but only 31 percent of surveyed freshmen remembered the video. The task force also asked for more “robust outreach for men, specifically” after some survey responses suggested that men were apprehensive to talk if they were sexually assaulted. Many students thought wait times were longer for counseling services than they actually were, so the report’s final suggestions included publicizing wait times and allowing there to be free sessions for sexual assault beyond the 10 free sessions all students receive. Wright said the report has been mentioned by OSU President Michael Drake already and that because his former school, University of California-Irvine, had been at the forefront in many of the categories USG examined, she was excited to see what could happen in the future. “This is the first year that USG took this issue on and I’m so glad that we did. It’s a growing problem nationally and one we couldn’t continue to ignore,” Wright said.

The AdvoCare website said a student-athlete must “use the phrase ‘AdvoCare Independent Distributor’ in place” of their name. The site also says that a student-athlete can be a distributor. Miller did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s request for comment.

USG from 1A resigned before the General Assembly could vote on the impeachment articles. Former Chief Justice Cruz — who had previously resigned — said in his resignation letter the USG administration “consistently excommunicated anyone who has gone against them and their opinion, which is why I cannot continue to follow what the current USG administration has done and continues to do, not only to myself, but to the entire USG as a whole.” According to the articles of impeachment provided by both the justices and USG, the three justices were accused of “failure to perform constitutionally prescribed duty and abuse of power and position.” They were also accused of “ignoring the rules laid out in the Elections Bylaws” and “subverting the legislative branch of the Undergraduate Student Government” and also having taken part in a secret meeting with “OSU Divest, the Committee for Justice in Palestine, a previous USG Vice President (and) a USG Senator,” the articles said. OSU Divest had sponsored the Issue 1 referendum. In her resignation letter, Johnson, a

second-year in public affairs and one of the justices who resigned today, addressed the accusations and wrote, “In any matter, I and all of my fellow justices have done our job with the upmost (sic) integrity.” “No one wanted to be responsible for taking OSU Divest’s initiative off of the ballot,” she wrote in a letter she told The Lantern after the meeting that she had read to the USG General Assembly. “Many people, including those that have accused my actions of simply having a meeting to compromise a solution to a problem and suggesting action as unconstitutional, wanted to see the issue off of the ballot.” The discussions on the justices’ impeachment were closed to the public and the media. USG declared the session a “closed session.” The General Assembly remained closed after the three justices, who had handed in their letters of resignation, left the Senate Chamber in the Ohio Union. According to USG’s “Standing Rules of the Senate,” the Senate moves into executive session after the consideration of the resolution containing the articles of impeachment or censure is announced. During that session, people involved are permitted to present

evidence and speak, and questioning takes place. The Senate then votes “by method of Secret Ballot,” and reopens the meeting afterward. After being reopened to the public after about two hours, the General Assembly had moved to announcements and adjourned within a few minutes. Wright declined to comment on what had been discussed in the closed session. Earlier this month, Wright and vice president Leah Lacure, a fourth-year in public affairs, published a statement addressing Issue 1, among other issues, and ultimately announced the decision to file for the impeachment of the chief justice of the Judicial Panel. “Throughout this process, we have been alarmed and disturbed by the lack of efficiency and attentiveness in the Judicial Panel’s handling of the issue since its inception,” Wright and Lacure said in the statement, released March 9. The impeachment articles’ sponsors included Wright and Lacure. The articles “were withdrawn from the floor following the resignation of the justices,” Lacure said in a follow-up email on Wednesday. In Braun’s resignation letter, which he later

said he also read to the General Assembly, Braun, a fourth-year in microbiology and international studies, said he was resigning because of the “complete breakdown of election propriety and respectability that has followed the mishandling of the OSU Divest ballot petition.” The members who resigned will form a review panel, Johnson said. People within the organization are “scared to take action because they are afraid of the retaliation,” she said. “Any student that wants to get involved and help a lot of students are under the impression that they can’t participate unless they join the organization, but this is not true.” Johnson said the review panel will work to make the actions of USG more transparent for students. “I want to help make students aware of their rights within student government,” she said. “What we’ll do is attend General Assembly meetings to make sure they are following bylaws, review executive actions to make sure they respect bylaws, make sure the (Judicial) Panel is adhering to the bylaws. (We) want to serve as a body that is free of political pressure.”

“If you watch the three of them, they’re always talking.” —Coach Urban Meyer

Buckeye quarterback battle (almost) all positive

tim moody Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu When two recent Heisman Trophy candidates and the reigning National Championship starter play quarterback for the same team, things could get ugly. But at Ohio State, “it’s all positive” between redshirt-senior Braxton Miller, redshirt-sophomore J.T. Barrett and redshirt-junior Cardale Jones, coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday. “If you watch the three of them, they’re always talking,” Meyer said. Miller — who has been in the top-10 in Heisman voting twice — was the undisputed starter heading into fall camp in 2014, but he tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder less than two weeks before the season started. That paved the way for Barrett to take the reigns of the OSU offense. After losing to Virginia Tech in his second start, the Wichita Falls, Texas, native led the Buckeyes to 10 straight wins. But Barrett ended up fracturing his ankle in the regular-season finale against Michigan, forcing him to miss the Buckeyes’ postseason run. Injury and all, he ended up in fifth place in Heisman voting. Jones replaced Barrett for the Big Ten Championship and the College Football Playoff, and picked up a 3-0 record as he led OSU to a national title. Now just three practices into spring camp, the trio is locked in an open competition for the starting job next season.

Even though they’re competing every day, Meyer said the players have been supporting each other in practice. “I just happened to turn around and Braxton and J.T. are talking about football,” Meyer said. “And I saw Braxton walk up and hit Cardale, you know, tap him, ‘Nice job.’ And I just see that, that’s not common.” While the players are technically all in the race for playing time, only Jones is fully fit. Miller is still recovering from his shoulder surgery while Barrett’s ankle isn’t yet completely healed. Meyer said OSU’s medical staff has pulled back on Miller, but stressed that was for precautionary reasons. He added that Barrett has been ahead of schedule so far this spring. “J.T. is doing good, he’s doing more,” Meyer said. “I thought he would be much more limited but he’s getting every mini field and 7-on-7 rep.” As Barrett and Miller continue the rehabilitation process and Jones continues to grind, Meyer said, in general, everything is positive when it comes to his options at quarterback. “Talent, quality people, value to the program, investment in the program,” Meyer said. “Check, check, check, check.” But with all the positivity, there’s just one problem: Only one quarterback takes the field at a time. “It’s not like receiver where you can put three of them out there,” Meyer said. “That’s the only thing that’s starting to eat away at me a little bit.” Regardless of who ends up winning the battle, the Buckeyes are set to take the field against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va., to kick off the 2015 season.

For Ohio State baseball coach Greg Beals, the 2015 season has been five years in the making. After being named the head coach in 2010, Beals said he dedicated the first five years of his career toward forming a balanced program. “It’s been five years of developing, it’s the idea of recruiting, the idea of talent and having a balanced baseball club,” Beals said. For the Buckeyes, the five-year plan has been a long process, but it all starts with recruiting, Beals added. “When you are developing your program you have 35 guys, and only 11.5 scholarships so you can’t just throw out a bunch of scholarships and build it in a year,” he said. “It takes some time to find that depth and find the right type of guys.” The Buckeyes showed the depth and balance of their team Wednesday night, beating the Akron Zips, 9-4, at Bill Davis Stadium. Akron started the game off strong by scoring the first two runs in the second inning before the Buckeyes tied the game at 2-2 going into the third. After two innings of three up, three down baseball, the Buckeyes took control of the game, scoring six runs in the fifth inning. “In the fifth inning, it’s a situation where we figured out their starter,” Beals said. “It was our third at-bat, the lineup had flipped and it was our third line through. That’s when we figured him out and were able to get some extra base hits.” After struggling with their bats in the first few innings, the Buckeyes showed their tenacity to get the win as sophomore outfielder Ronnie Dawson slammed a two-run homer. After struggling throughout the beginning of the season, Dawson said he feels that he’s gaining some of his confidence back.

International recruiting an asset for women’s tennis whitney wilson Lantern reporter wilson.2689@osu.edu

Traveling to America from a foreign country can be a big change, offering an unfamiliar culture with new languages and learning experiences for some international students. The Ohio State women’s tennis team (12-4, 5-0) has eight players on its roster. Only half of those players are from the United States. The other four have traveled thousands of miles from Peru, Japan, Ireland and Venezuela to become Buckeyes. Coach Melissa Schaub said she considers international players to be great assets for the team. “Tennis is a very international sport, so you see a lot of international players in college tennis,” Schaub said. “It is much more popular in other countries than it is here in the U.S. These girls have been traveling around the world since a young age playing tennis, which is something not every American gets to do.” She said it can be difficult selecting eight scholarship players who can easily adapt to the program. “Recruiting in general is probably one of the biggest aspects of our job,” Schaub

said. “There are some really good international tournaments called the Orange Bowl and Eddie Herr where you get to see the international players but get to stay here in the U.S. Once you see what you’re looking for, then you will take a trip over there to meet their coach and their family before bringing them to the U.S. for a visit.” Schaub said the girls brought a lot of experience as far as tournaments and playing internationally. She said the four international players have been a great addition to the program as teammates who show support for one another. “We have a good mix of different players on our team, and the American kids get to have a little bit of culture,” Schaub said. “College athletics for any athlete is an amazing experience, but for the international players, it’s even more amazing in some ways because in most other countries it’s either you continue with school or you continue with tennis, and here they get to do both.” Sophomore Gabby De Santis from Venezuela said she would have been faced with that difficult decision in her home country.

‘Hard Knocks’ a disaster for Manziel IAN ALTENAU For The Lantern altenau.8@osu.edu The last thing Johnny Manziel needs right now is more attention. NFL Films has reportedly — tentatively — named the Cleveland Browns to be featured for its HBO reality series “Hard Knocks.” While coach Mike Pettine has repeatedly stated that he has no interest in participating, the Browns could be forced to by the league. Nothing could be worse for Johnny Football. Keep the cameras far away from him. Manziel shined in the spotlight while at Texas A&M, becoming one of the most talked about pro prospects in years. Despite his success in college, his talents haven’t quite translated to the NFL. Those sneaky concerns about arm strength and field vision turned out to be accurate, but the Browns have coaches to work on those problems. The off-the-field issues are much harder to diagnose and treat. Who can forget Manziel’s memorable bird, flipped in a meaningless preseason loss to the Washington Redskins? Or the ill-timed party before the Baltimore Ravens game? These, and many other incidents, have become a major distraction. If the Browns are going to break out of recent slump, they need as little distraction as possible. “Hard Knocks” is the last thing the Browns and Manziel need right now. With Manziel reportedly scheduled to be released from rehab for alcohol dependency in April, he needs to be eased into the daily grind slowly. Getting into a routine isn’t an overnight occurrence. Putting Manziel back into the spotlight is like locking a bull in a china shop. He could surprise us and rise to the occasion, but more likely he will collapse under the weight of his own stardom. So, for all of us who still believe that Johnny Manziel can be a successful NFL quarterback: NFL Films, please go away.

Senior catcher Connor Sabanosh (14) went 0-for-3 with an RBI in OSU’s 9-4 win against Akron on March 25 at Bill Davis Stadium.

Bats from 7A “I was struggling a little bit, but the coaches have faith in me and talk to me every day,” Dawson said. Dawson said the issue had come from his mentality, feeling like he wasn’t able to relax and be patient at the plate. “I just put a lot of pressure on myself. When I didn’t do so well, I got mad, but as I play more people are going to figure out who I am and how to pitch to me so I just have to patient,” Dawson said. “I’m just starting to relax again.”

Tennis from 7A of moving to America is learning about a new culture while continuing her tennis and academic careers. “It’s interesting to know different people that think in different ways,” Santis said. “It is much more competitive here than in Venezuela where I would not have had the opportunity to study and play at a collegiate level at the same time.” Sophomore Ferny Angeles Paz said her

Along with Dawson, senior outfielder Pat Porter blasted a home run, maintaining his offensive leadership with one double and three RBIs. But the real standout for the night was junior Zach Ratcliff, who went 2-for-3 at the plate with one RBI, a run scored and a stolen base. The first baseman began the season starting for the Buckeyes, but struggled at the plate with a .185 batting average heading into Wednesday’s matchup. Wednesday was the day to test what Ratcliff could do when given an opportunity, Beals said.

“I thought today was a good matchup for Zach to get in there and get his shot back and he took advantage of it,” Beals said. “I’m happy for him. He got the call tonight and answered the bell.” Ratcliff was humble to acknowledge his multiple double performance and grateful for the opportunity presented. But the junior said his mentality is to “just keep working.” Akron was consistent in the batters box, having seven of nine batters with at least one hit on OSU’s junior left-hander, John Havird. The Buckeyes’ starter tossed 84 pitches in 5.2

innings, with nine hits, only allowing one walk, four strikeouts and three earned runs, tallying his third win of the season. “The depth in our pitching staff is something we take pride in. We have multiple guys, we went two midweek games without any of our starting pitchers,” Beals said. The Buckeyes will look to maintain their consistency against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in Piscataway, N.J., on Friday at 3:05 p.m., Saturday at 1:05 p.m. and Sunday at 1:05 p.m.

native country of Peru and the U.S. are different in many ways. “I’ve never played indoors in Peru. It is very different because we don’t have indoor courts,” Paz said. “It’s pretty tough here. Everyone is good, everyone practices hard, and every team is competitive, so it’s tough.” Japanese sophomore Miho Kowase said the opportunity to move to the U.S. has offered several difficulties and benefits beyond playing tennis. “It’s hard for me because my family is 13

hours time difference compared to America,” Kowase said. “My sister lives in Georgia, so that has really helped me adjust to living in America. Also, for me to learn English and being able to speak English is such a huge advantage in Japan.” Junior Grainne O’Neill from Ireland said Buckeye tradition is what has helped make her experience at OSU so gratifying. “It’s great, I feel like the whole Buckeye community really helped me out big time when I first moved here because I really did

not know anything at all,” O’Neill said. “It’s just great to have people behind you. We have a whole team and our coaches and staff are great so they really have helped out big time. When we travel to different places you hear ‘O-H’ and ‘Go Bucks’ and that’s really nice.” With no seniors on the roster, all eight players are set to return next year for the 2015-16 season. In the meantime, the Buckeyes (12-4, 5-0) are set to take on Purdue on Friday in Columbus at 3 p.m.

opinion Ohio State should sign onto Real Food Challenge Letter to the editor: It has been 45 years since I played quarterback for coach Woody Hayes at The Ohio State University, and although agriculture is still Ohio’s leading industry, our food system is vastly different. In that time, we have lost 36,000 farms in the state of Ohio, our lakes have become polluted by runoff from industrial farms, and farm animals have been moved off the land and into confinement. Universities,

including Ohio State, currently source food from large-scale farms great distances from the dining facilities, and these farms harm rural communities, the environment and animals. As a world-class agricultural teaching, research and outreach institution with a long and rich agriculture history, Ohio State has a unique opportunity to lead us into a better future and food system, and should start by signing the Real Food Challenge Campus Commitment. Real Food Challenge is a

nationwide movement to shift university food budgets away from factory farms and junk food and toward local, humane, ecologically sound and fair trade sources, or “real food,” by 2020. Other Big Ten universities including Northwestern and Indiana, as well as neighboring institutions like Oberlin College, are pursuing a working relationship with students to commit to purchasing 20 percent real food or more. Many small and mid-sized farms within the region, and also fair and ethical producers

outside of our region, would be able to provide a large percentage of Ohio State’s demand in a better way. I stand with the students of the Real Food Challenge, along with a broad coalition of support from across the state, and urge President Michael Drake to commit Ohio State to the Real Food Challenge.

Ohio State not the only band in the land MCKENZIE MERRIMAN Lantern reporter merriman.64@osu.edu Ten years ago, the concert band for the Capital Pride Band of Columbus had its first performance, held at King Avenue United Methodist Church. This weekend, the concert band’s anniversary will be celebrated with a performance at Lincoln Theatre. The Capital Pride Band of Columbus, or CapPride for short, is an Ohio-based LGBT performing arts organization, with marching, concert and pep bands featuring Columbus-area volunteer musicians. Since the band’s formation in 2003, membership has grown from the 28 original members to more than 90 musicians who work with the marching and concert bands, according to a press release. Artistic director Leigh Briggs said that in addition to the physical growth of CapPride, the quality of performances has improved. “(Things like) depth of sound, resonance, intonation, technical skill and ability to play as a cohesive unit have all shown measurable growth as the band has continued to mature,” he said. A founding member of CapPride, Briggs has served as co-conductor and artistic director of the concert band since its debut performance in spring 2005 and has directed the marching band since 2003. Briggs studied music education and the French horn at Ohio State, in addition to marching in the OSU Marching Band for five years. Communication director Kevin Vaselakes said the community of Columbus is important to the band’s identity. “We love our city – it’s part of our name,” said Vaselakes, who graduated from OSU in 1985 with a bachelor of science in business administration. “Approximately 20 percent of our members are Ohio State alums and about 10 percent have marched with The Best Damn Band in the Land,” he said. The upcoming performance will include favorite pieces from the band’s previous performances, including a wide variety of musical styles such as classical orchestral transcriptions, big band, swing, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, Broadway and today’s Top 40, Briggs said. “The show will open with ‘Ascentium,’ the very first piece the concert band performed in

There is no doubt which one will display the better musicality, but listening to those recordings is one of the things I’m really looking forward to.”

In addition to CapPride’s principal shows — its annual concert performances in the spring and fall — its marching band has marched in the Columbus Pride Parade and Festival every year since 2003, Vaselakes said. The marching band also travels to march in cities such as Chicago and Indianapolis. “Membership is currently 80 to 85 percent

Tickets are $25 for general audience, $20 for students and available through Ticketmaster.

OPINION

Hip-hop’s creativity reawakened over spring break SAM KAYUHA For The Lantern kayuha.2@osu.edu Drake has never been more prophetic than when he declared on his 2014 single, “0-100/ The Catch-up,” that “We already got spring 2015 poppin’.” He was referring to his October’s Very Own labelmates, but he could well have been talking about hip-hop as a whole. After a year that saw few high-profile rap releases, 2015 already appears to have surpassed it. Drake put out a mixtape in February that broke the Internet and is currently prepping an album, Kanye West finally looks ready to follow up “Yeezus,” and three of the most talented young rappers currently working released new albums in the span of one week. Kendrick Lamar, 27, has been near the top of the list of best rappers in the world ever since 2012’s “good kid, m.A.A.d. city,” a remarkable record that followed Lamar through a day in his hometown of Compton, Calif. He toured the festival circuit, rapped a few guest verses, and began the daunting task of following up an album that is already considered an all-time great. With his new record “To Pimp a Butterfly,” released a week earlier than expected on March 15, Lamar did the only thing that

one can do when following up a classic — make an album that is impossible to compare to its predecessor. The album is a remarkable piece of work: dense and difficult, although ultimately incredibly rewarding. While “good kid” leaned toward more traditional beats and features, “Butterfly” goes off the wall with Flying Lotus and jazz fusion influences that blend in with one another seamlessly. One song begins as another ends, and before you know it, nearly 79 minutes have sped by. The overarching theme is a response to the perceived increase in race-based violence and conflict of the past few years. It is important and necessary. Best listened to as one body of work, Lamar ties “Butterfly” together by revealing bits and pieces of his own poem at the end of almost every track. The full poem is spoken on the final track, “Mortal Man,” and the unifying theme is revealed. If you have not listened to “To Pimp a Butterfly” yet, stop what you are doing and listen to “To Pimp a Butterfly.” The momentum continued on Monday when Earl Sweatshirt released his album “I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside.” Earl has one of the most fascinating backgrounds in music today: He was sent to a reform school in Samoa

just as he was beginning to gain fame, and returned to find himself already a star. His official debut, “Doris,” was released in 2013, but the rapper told NPR’s “Microphone Check” that his latest record is “the first thing that I’ve said that I fully stand behind.” “I Don’t Like Shit” feels like it was something cooked up by Earl in his bedroom — and it may well have been. The album is almost entirely produced by Earl, without samples, and features minimal guests. His lyrical genius shines through on the record, over grimy beats that prove he is to be taken seriously as a producer as well as a rapper. Many fans will reminisce over the pre-Samoa Earl, a 16-year-old who rapped nonchalantly about violence and sex, but “I Don’t Like Shit” is not meant for them. Hopefully, those who have followed him throughout his career grew up along with him. If that is the case, they can enjoy this distinctly “grown-up” album.

The day after Sweatshirt’s release, Action Bronson released his first official album, “Mr. Wonderful.” Bronson made a name for himself with a string of strong mixtapes over the past few years. “Mr. Wonderful” doesn’t stray too far from what Bronson made his name on — lyrics about food, drugs and women, over beats by the likes of the Alchemist, 88-Keys and Party Supplies. “Mr. Wonderful” is not exactly on the same level as the other albums, but it is a solid record and a lighthearted break from the heavy topics covered in the two other high-profile releases this month. Only three months into the year, 2015 has racked up an extraordinary amount of great rap albums. With high-profile releases still expected from ASAP Rocky, Young Thug and Chance the Rapper, as well as Kanyeand Drake, this year looks to be setting the new standard for quality records.

Zayn Malik’s departure unimportant in the larger picture SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Asst. arts editor ruibal.1@osu.edu This is part of a weekly series called “Pop Opinions” where The Lantern offers its take on the week’s pop culture news. Rowling keeps it real A fan tweeted to the Harry Potter author Tuesday, saying ““Thank you so much for writing Harry Potter. I wonder why you said that Dumbledore is a gay because I can’t see him in that way.” Awkward silence. Then came an ultimate win of a response. JK Rowling replied, “Maybe because gay people just look like…people?” I understand people come from many different backgrounds and beliefs. But, in the words of Dumbledore himself: “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” The ‘Empire’ reigns The season finale of Fox’s “Empire” premiered last week and I still haven’t seen it. But I did spend all spring break watching the first 10 of 12 episode on Time Warner On Demand. “Empire.” Is. Amazing. I had heard about it (read: I had seen tweets about it) for a while. For some reason I thought it was about a railroad empire. My roommate thought it was about a drug empire (not entirely false). But instead it follows Lucious (“Luscious” without an “s”) Lyon and his recording empire, aptly named Empire Entertainment. He has an ex-wife who spent 17 years in prison, a gay son he doesn’t understand, a non-musically talented son he doesn’t understand, and a completely self-loving jerk of a son that he fully understands. I look forward to watching more of the rise and fall, whenever Time Warner gets around to letting me. 1D is one down In a commentary we ran earlier this week, we addressed all the 1Drama.
