Joseph Steinmetz not slowing down in time of transition Ohio State Provost and Executive Vice President Joseph Steinmetz isn’t one to slow down.

“It’s very easy to say, ‘Let’s stop. Let’s not do anything for a year.’ But that’s not what we’re all about,” he said in an interview with The Lantern Tuesday.

In a time of transition into newly appointed OSU President Michael Drake’s term, Steinmetz, who began his OSU tenure in 2009 as a vice provost and executive dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, said he is “fairly used to transition,” having previously worked at the University of Kansas and Indiana University.

Steinmetz talked about topics including his thoughts on the current transition phase, Maymester and class cancellations in the hour-long interview.

you’re trying to make that transition as smoothly as possible, but he asks the right questions, I think, and is probing to the depth that I think is healthy.”

He added that Drake’s medical experience as an ophthalmologist provides him with experience that should reduce the time it will take for Drake to adapt to administrating OSU and its Wexner Medical Center.

“It’s a part of the learning curve that is often difficult that he doesn’t have to worry about,” Steinmetz said.

Steinmetz said he hasn’t talked to Drake about what changes could be made academically.

“Before we can have that kind of a discussion, you have to have full understanding of what’s going on here,” he said.

Steinmetz said he expects any new directions would emerge in “the first six months or so.”

He also said Drake has a particular interest in the global perspective a university can take and said a new focus in that area is possible.

Preparing for Michael Drake’s arrival Steinmetz said perhaps his biggest impact as provost so far has been to be an anchor of stability during the transition to Drake’s administration.

“Up to this point, I’ve had three substantial conversations … with Dr. Drake to give him a snapshot of where we are on the academic side,” Steinmetz said. “He’s interested, so example, in the summary of where we are in the development of the Discovery Theme development, where we are with the initiatives we launched in (the Office of Academic Affairs).”

The Discovery Themes initiative, which was launched in October 2012, targets health and wellness, energy and environment, food production and food security, which are areas identified by some OSU officials as university priority areas.

The $400 million plan includes expanding research and hiring new faculty.

Steinmetz said he and Drake have developed a good relationship, and he expects a smooth transition.

“The style of people change. Different leaders have different styles and I’ll adapt to that style and what he’s looking for,” he said. “I know the difficulty there is when you’re somewhere else, and

May Session’s present and future Steinmetz said there are no significant changes set to be made to May Session this year.

“What we’re trying to actually do is run it as close as we could to the last time to get an idea of its use, what classes are actually being offered, how they’re being staffed, that sort of thing,” Steinmetz said.

May Session is one of two parts of OSU’s summer term.

Under the term’s existing structure, students enrolled in classes during Spring Semester 2014 who do not graduate at the end of the semester are eligible to take

a three-credit class with no additional tuition payment. It was developed as part of the university’s transition from quarters to semesters in 2012.

Steinmetz said the program, though, is being studied to make it better in the future.

“I asked the Senate Fiscal Committee to

look at (Maymester) and study the recommendation from a fiscal sense of where we should go, and then to also study the data of who took advantage of it, how did students take advantage, what was offered, that sort of thing,” Steinmetz said. “That’s one of those examples where I wish that we were quicker at times, but they’re thorough and I appreciate that.”

Consistency is necessary in a program like this, Steinmetz said.

“In a lot of ways, it’s like the second year of the experiment. I’m a neuroscientist, so I’ve done a lot of experiments in my day, and the last thing we want to do is to change the parameters,” Steinmetz said.

Class cancellations in Spring Semester Steinmetz said he received mixed reactions, including “colorful emails,” about class cancellations and subsequent plans to allow for class makeup days over the course of the semester.

OSU called off classes Jan. 6, Jan. 7 and Jan. 28 because of extreme weather conditions.

Orton Hall signatures to stay OSU students with mumps paid to donate their plasma ZOE CHRYSOCHOOS Lantern reporter chrysochoos.2@osu.edu

Some students consider it a tradition to sign the walls of the Orton Hall bell tower. While there were plans to repaint the walls last year, OSU officials said those plans have been put aside for the time being.

KARLIE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.359@osu.edu Signatures canvasing the walls of Orton Hall’s bell tower are no longer slated to be covered with paint.

Ohio Staters Inc. and OSU Facilities Operations and Development were planning last year to repaint the walls decorated with signatures of members of major student organizations across campus in an effort to preserve the history of the bell tower.

Students involved in some major campus organizations such as class honoraries, Greek organizations and ambassador programs have visited the bell tower to sign their names on the wall. Ohio Staters, which aims to promote the traditions and welfare on campus, is the primary student organization that helps facilitate students going up to the tower and manages its upkeep.

Lindsay Komlanc, spokeswoman for OSU Administration and Planning, said those plans, though, have been put aside.

“There are no plans to paint the Orton Hall bell tower at this time,” Komlanc said in an email Monday.

Scott Boden, faculty adviser to Ohio Staters and associate director of Residence Life, said while Ohio Staters initially thought the idea of painting over the signatures would be well-received, it was met with mixed views.

“One of the things (Ohio Staters was) looking

at was removing the writing on the walls because it was considered graffiti. Then we met with folks that had different opinions about that. We had lots of conversations with … folks in the university that have responsibilities with physical structures on campus,” Boden said.

Last year, some students argued against the proposed cover up, saying signing the walls was an OSU tradition to them.

Boden said if the walls were to be repainted, that responsibility should fall on a group at OSU that deals with the physical facilities rather than a student organization.

“There’s some people who think we should take better care of a certain landmark, and there’s others who think this is a new tradition that’s starting to occur. And I’m not sure that’s a decision for the student organization, but rather, other entities of the university,” Boden said.

Ohio Staters continues to take student groups on tours of the bell tower weekly. Boden said Ohio Staters asks the students not to sign the wall, but ultimately it’s up to each student whether they want to do so.

Dani Harriger, a fourth-year in education, said she has several friends who have signed the walls and doesn’t see any reason to repaint them.

“Traditions are there for a reason, and as long as no one is getting harmed, I think painting over it (would) just make people angry,” Harriger said.

“People are doing it in the context that the university meant so much to them, not to cause damage.”

Some Ohio State students diagnosed with the mumps virus are receiving $400 for the donation of their blood plasma at Access Plasma/Saturn Biomedical in Indianapolis .

Michael Vieth, a fourth-year in computer and information science who has the mumps, found out about the opportunity when an email regarding the need for blood donors who were diagnosed with the mumps virus was forwarded to him from the president of his fraternity.

Shannon Coates, senior donor recruiter at Access Biologicals LLC , said once the company heard about the mumps outbreak at OSU, she sent out emails to sororities and fraternities on campus explaining its study.

“Mumps is really not that common. With the (mumps, measles and rubella) vaccine, you usually do not hear about the virus. Once we heard about the outbreak at Ohio State, we knew that it would be very helpful for our study,” she said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 116 mumps cases had been reported in Franklin County, five more than Monday’s count. Ninety-three of the 116 cases were linked to the OSU outbreak with 74 OSU students, nine OSU staff, nine people with OSU links and one family member of someone with OSU ties affected, according to a Columbus Public Health release.

Vieth acted upon the opportunity to give plasma and made an appointment along with a friend, another OSU student diagnosed with the mumps.

“I decided to get the procedure done because having the mumps and receiving $400 is better than just having the mumps,” Vieth said.

Access Plasma/Saturn Biomedical provided all travel reimbursements, Vieth said.

“We received our check immediately after donating the plasma,” he said.

Coates said the compensation rate varies.

“The compensation rate is dependent on their levels of the virus. Typically we offer anywhere between $100 to $400. We provide mileage reimbursements and hotel accommodations,” Coates said.

The normal compensation rate for blood plasma of someone who is healthy is usually about $30 to $35, she said.

Plasma is the liquid portion of blood. The

procedure uses a single needle, and the blood is put through a process that spins the plasma away from blood cells and platelets and then returns blood cells and platelets back to the donor, Coates said.

“It only takes your body 24 hours to reproduce blood plasma, unlike donating cold blood, which takes your body eight weeks,” she said.

Vieth said the procedure was a lot like donating blood.

“I wasn’t nervous for the procedure because I have given blood before and I heard that donating plasma was pretty much the same thing,” Vieth said. “The procedure was the same except after the machine drew the blood out, it removed the plasma and then returned the blood back into my body. They emphasized that is was important for us to eat and to drink a lot of fluids.”

Vieth said he was told the plasma was going to be shipped to the Access Biologicals LLC

campus Bike repair stations installed near campus rec facilities QING DAI Lantern reporter dai.133@osu.edu

A Dero Bike Fixit Stand, located outside of the RPAC, has tools for bike repair and an air pump for inflating tires. There are two additional stands on campus: at the Adventure Recreation Center and at Jesse Owens North.

After the installation of quick-fix bike repair stations on campus during spring break, some Ohio State students said they’d like to see more stations on campus.

The Dero Bike Fixit Stand has tools for minor bike repairs and an air pump for inflating tires, Matt Hartman, assistant director at the OSU Outdoor Adventure Center, said in an email. He added the stations are intended to encourage commuting by bike.

The stand has tools including a bike pump, screwdrivers and wrenches, Hartman said.

“The Fixit stands are meant to make campus a welcoming environment for bike commuters, which hopefully reduces car and parking congestion around campus,” Hartman said.

There are three of the stands on campus: outside of the RPAC, at the Adventure Recreation Center and at Jesse Owens North. All were installed during spring break in mid-March.

The stands cost about $900 each, Hartman said, and were paid for by Student Life’s Recreational Sports Department.

Two more Fixit Stands are set to be installed at Jesse Owens South and Fred Beekman Park, but OSU is still in the process of choosing the best locations to place the stands in those areas, Hartman said.

Griffin Holub, a second-year in computer science and engineering, said he’s used the air pump at the

RPAC stand a few times because his bike tires are often low in air pressure.

“This is actually really nice to have them around on campus,” he said.

Stephen Kruse, a third-year in economics, said he tends to ride his bike a few times a week but he hasn’t noticed the Fixit Stands.

He said he has had flat tires before and had to walk with his bike home, so the idea of a quick-fix stand is appealing.

“It was definitely a cool addition (to campus),” Kruse said.

Hartman said other Fixit Stands can be found around Columbus, including on High Street across from the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Ohio State alum receives international affairs fellowship NICK ROLL Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu Ohio State graduate Adam Kong might be preparing to become a U.S. diplomat in two years, but his daily commute hasn’t gotten any simpler.

“I drive my motorcycle to the train station, get on the train and go south for a half hour, then I used to do a 5K bike ride to my school. Then my bike broke so I had to hitchhike to work. So when I got sick of hitchhiking to work, someone took pity on me and let me borrow a scooter, so now I ride a 100cc scooter (to work),” Kong said in a Skype interview.

Kong, a 2013 Ohio State alumnus who studied Chinese and international studies with specializations in world economy and business and East Asian studies, has come a long way from his hometown of Cincinnati — in fact, more than 7,000 miles — as he is currently teaching English in Taiwan as a Fulbright Scholar.

But soon, he could be moving. Kong recently won a fellowship from the Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program.

The Washington, D.C.-based Rangel program, which is affiliated with Howard University, gives 20 scholarships each year for college graduates and seniors who want to pursue a graduate school education and serve a post as a diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service, a division of the State Department.

Since the program started in 2002, 10 students who attended Big Ten schools for their undergraduate education have been selected, including OSU, Michigan State, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin, according to the Rangel fellows website.

Kong is the first OSU graduate to win the award, according to the website.

Steinmetz from 1A Temperatures fell to roughly minus 7 degrees Jan. 6 and Jan. 7 and to about minus 11 degrees Jan. 28, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration archives.

“Safety is the issue for us … the estimates of the wind chill and the size of our campus made it unbelievably risky,” Steinmetz said.

Despite poor access on his birthday, Jan. 6, though, Steinmetz said he still came to work.

In an email Jan. 29, Steinmetz alerted

“There’s a lot of pride. It’s good for the individual, good for the (international studies) program and good for the university,” said Anthony Mughan, director of international studies at OSU. Kong started out as a business major in the Fisher College of Business, but said he soon discovered it wasn’t for him.

“The more and more I got involved with Fisher, the less I realized I wanted to work for a corporation or any kind of money making organization. I began to explore my other options, working at nonprofits or NGOs, and making more of an impact on society.

I guess, being the idealist I am, I wanted to find my career and personal goals and how they could go together,” Kong said.

An NGO is a nongovernmental organization, which is a nonprofit, voluntary group.

Kong is set to pursue a master’s degree in international affairs, with specializations in social and urban development, at Columbia University in the fall. As part of his Rangel fellowship, he will spend one summer interning in Congress and one summer abroad in a diplomatic post, followed by employment in the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service, a government public service organization that works around the world.

Although all Rangel fellows become diplomats in the Foreign Service, their day-to-day jobs once there can vary, said Patricia Scroggs, director of the Rangel International Affairs Program.

“They serve as Foreign Service Officers working in U.S. embassies and missions around the world and in Washington, D.C. They strengthen U.S.-Colombian cultures ties in Bogota, analyze and report on political development in New Delhi, manage embassies in Lome, advance human rights in Sarajevo and promote strong trade ties in Bangkok, just to give you a few examples,” Scroggs said in an email.

Although Kong currently works in Taiwan and

Faculty members who administer sevenweek courses had the option of making up missed sessions Feb. 8 and Feb. 15, both Saturdays.

Steinmetz said Tuesday his biggest concern, and part of the reason for sending the email, had to do with classes that don’t meet often.

problematic, and then more problematic is we now have seven week courses in addition to the 14-week (classes),” Steinmetz said.

Steinmetz said it was providing the opportunity that was key.

“It’s important at some point to provide that opportunity for those faculty that choose to use it,” Steinmetz said. “I don’t know how many have chosen to use the time. We’ll check after the semester.”

“Right now, I would be leaning toward somewhere in Asia or Southeast Asia, but the requirement is that you need to be available around the world. It doesn’t matter what your preference is.

If (Secretary of State) John Kerry wants more people to go to Uganda, it’s about diplomatic experience, not language ability,” Kong said.

corporate office in Vista, Calif., the next day to test for the mumps antibodies.

The company gathers the antibody of a virus through donations of blood plasma and then uses it to diagnose a disease, Coates said.

“In-vitro diagnostics is what we help create, and then that is used to diagnose someone else with that certain virus,” she said.

In-vitro diagnostics are tests that can detect diseases.

Mumps is a viral infection of the salivary glands, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. It can spread through coughing, sneezing or contact with saliva or mucus. 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.

The onset of the first case connected to the Franklin County outbreak was Jan. 7, while the first case connected to the OSU outbreak was Feb. 10.

Buckeyes fight through ‘Bad Day Tuesday’ James Grega Jr. Lantern reporter grega.9@osu.edu Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer was less than pleased when he took to the podium at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center following the completion of yet another spring practice.

The eighth practice — the midpoint of the spring season for OSU — was one Meyer categorized as “Bad Day Tuesday.”

“It was a bad day. And what is today — Tuesday? Bad Day Tuesday,” Meyer said. “Gotta make sure there’s not Bad Day Thursday.”

On top of the poor practice effort, the injury bug bit the Buckeyes again, as senior tight end Jeff Heuerman underwent surgery Monday to repair what Meyer called a “sprain” in his foot.

Meyer, who expects Heuerman back in June, said he is not too worried about the senior’s injury.

“Jeff’s going to be fine. I think it’s probably right with the normal number of injuries,” Meyer said, referring to the team as a whole despite the injuries.

With Heuerman out, Meyer said he is still confident in the remaining tight ends left on the roster, despite a less than stellar practice.

OSU coach Urban Meyer removes his headset on the sideline during The Game Nov. 30 at Michigan Stadium. OSU won, 42-41. “(Redshirt-junior) Nick Vannett’s done very well and one of our most improved players,” Meyer said. “And (redshirtfreshman) Marcus Baugh actually has had some good days, today not being one of them.”

The loss of Heuerman for the remainder of the spring is just another hit to a Buckeye team that has already lost senior quarterback Braxton Miller, sophomore safety Vonn Bell and sophomore H-back Jalin Marshall to injury.

In a 58-game regular season, sometimes lineup changes help create a spark for a team.

The Ohio State baseball team tried to do just that for junior pitcher and closer Trace Dempsey, giving him his first start since May 25, 2012, after a somewhat disappointing stretch for the preseason All-American during the last few weeks.

The Buckeyes (17-10, 2-4) got things back on track against Ohio University (5-20, 1-5) Tuesday, winning 11-6 after getting swept by Indiana over the weekend. Coach Greg Beals said it was important for the team to get right back on the field after the series against the Hoosiers when the Buckeyes were outscored 21-7 on their home turf.

“It’s what we needed. We had a tough weekend and we needed to get back in the saddle and play Ohio State baseball. I was really pleased with our offensive approach today,” Beals said.

None of the Bobcats’ nine pitchers — compared to just the four who pitched for OSU — who entered the game could figure out the OSU hitters, as the Buckeyes finished the game with season-highs in both hits (19) and runs. No Ohio pitcher lasted longer than an inning.

The Buckeyes got ahead early with a five-run first inning, which included a two-run RBI double to left field by sophomore infielder Zach Ratcliff.

Freshman outfielder Ronnie Dawson helped add another run in the second, sending sophomore infielder Troy Kuhn home with an RBI-single to stretch OSU’s lead to 6-0.

The Bobcats cut OSU’s lead with a two-out, two-run single in the fourth inning. After retiring

The loss of Marshall however, is the one that hurts the most, Meyer said.

“Jalin’s the one. Because he was really making a move and he got hurt,” Meyer said. “He was making a move…”

With Miller out, redshirt-sophomore Cardale Jones had been receiving the bulk of the first team reps in spring practice and had been progressing well until Tuesday, Meyer said.

“Cardale was bad today. And when I say bad, real bad,” Meyer said. “But to the point coming up till today, he was one of our most improved players on our team. It’s spring ball. You’re going to have a bad day. We gotta get that out before next fall, but he’s clearly the No. 2.”

One positive of practice Tuesday was what Meyer had to say about junior linebacker Joshua Perry, who is looking to fill the shoes of departed First Team All-Big Ten and All American performer Ryan Shazier.

“Josh Perry’s turned into an Ohio State linebacker … about.

He’s not there yet,” Meyer said.

An area of concern for Buckeye

Junior pitcher Trace Dempsey prepares to deliver a pitch during a game against Ohio University April 1 at Bill Davis Stadium. OSU won, 11-6.

the next batter, Dempsey’s day was done, leaving the game with four innings pitched, four hits, two runs and three strikeouts. Beals said he gave Dempsey the start so he could gain some confidence moving ahead in the season.

“I felt like he just needs to get out and pitch, get some more reps and find himself and figure out what he needs to do to be more consistent,” Beals said. “The best way of doing that was to give him an extended period of time on the mound and I didn’t want him to wonder when he was going to pitch.”

Dempsey said after the game he was pleased with his performance, but he still did not have the control he had hoped he would have.

“I felt like I started off pretty well, I got kind of tired there at the end,” Dempsey said. “I started trying to throw a little too hard instead of just relying on my stuff.”

Ratcliff continued his big night with a booming three-run home run in the sixth to bring the score to 10-2.

“He threw it over the plate and I just put a good swing on it,” Ratcliff said after the win.

“Lately I’ve been putting work in the cages and working with coach Beals and it’s really starting to show off these past few weeks.”

Ratcliff finished the game with three hits and a career-best five RBIs. “Zach’s a very talented young man and we just need to get him going,” Beals said. “He’s had some good practices and it was good to see him break out a little bit tonight.”

Redshirt-senior pitcher Tyler Giannonatti came on in relief of Dempsey, pitching three scoreless innings with one hit and one strikeout to record his first win of the season.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to return to action Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. against Toledo at Bill Davis Stadium.

Competition breeding success for OSU wide receivers daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Over the course of his three yearcareer at Ohio State, Braxton Miller has had huge success as the football team’s starting quarterback.

But for every one of the 395 passes he has completed, there had to be someone on the receiving end.

Although the Buckeyes are expected to be in a state of transition next season in most positions on the field, the receivers return as one of the more experienced groups of the team.

Despite losing the team’s top wide receiver in Corey “Philly” Brown in 2013, the outlook for the receiving corps next season is bright.

“I am very excited about our group,” wide receivers coach Zach Smith said Thursday. “We are getting there slowly. Right now there is a lot of competition and the culture is growing and they are really buying into what we are trying to build in the room.”

OSU returns four of its top five players from 2013 in receiving yards, including senior wide receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer.

Then-junior wide receiver Devin Smith (9) reaches to catch a pass with a defender on him during the Big Ten Championship Game against Michigan State Dec. 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

OSU lost, 34-24.

But despite the experience returning to the Buckeyes, Zach Smith said nobody is safe into a starting position.

“There is no spot guaranteed.

There is no one that is a starter

because there is a number of guys that are developing into a great X, Z, H whatever,” Zach Smith said. “We will see who it is, it’s just a matter of time and who comes every single

day and who brings the effort and competes.”

New faces that are fighting for playing time in the upcoming season for OSU are redshirt-junior Corey Smith, redshirt-sophomore Michael Thomas and redshirt-freshman Jalin Marshall — who is set to miss the remainder of spring after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Spencer has also missed time during spring practice as he rehabs from a leg injury suffered in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl Jan. 3.

Sophomore running back Dontre Wilson and freshman H-back Curtis Samuel also provide options for Miller, as both are set to play the hybrid role in coach Urban Meyer’s offense.

Zach Smith said a player he is really looking forward to watching develop, though, is freshman wide receiver Johnnie Dixon, a four-star recruit from West Palm Beach, Fla. “(Dixon) has been impressive.

He is a lot like Dontre. He is a grown man for an 18-year-old. He comes in and handles his business,” Zach Smith said. “He handles his business outside of this facility, he handles

sports Receivers from 4A his business in the classroom so i am excited about where he is going to be. now, he is a typical freshman, he is still learning and still trying to figure everything out. he has the commitment to be great and he is doing everything we are asking him to do right now. That is usually a formula for success.” devin smith agreed with his position coach, adding that he wouldn’t be shocked if Marshall had a breakout year. “i think a lot of things that he has done so far, before he got hurt were some things that he didn’t do last year,” devin smith said. “and he has impressed coach Meyer a bit before he got hurt. i think he is one guy that could make some noise if he can keep it up.”

One disadvantage the newer Buckeyes will have coming out of spring is the fact that they won’t get a chance to play with Miller.

Before spring practice began, Miller underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder, likely ruling him out for most — if not all — of spring.

Zach smith said the older players won’t miss Miller too much though since they have already had three years with the quarterback. “a lot of these guys, like devin and evan spencer, have been with Braxton for three years and it’s not a bad thing to develop the same rapport and chemistry with a guy that may be the backup because you don’t know when that guy is not the backup,” Zach smith said. “at any time, he could be the guy in the game

and you hope they have a report like we had with Kenny (Guiton) last year.” although the players have had time with each other in the past, devin smith said Miller has not been as involved with the receivers so far this offseason. “he is not as much engaged with us as he is with the quarterbacks, helping with the young guys,” devin smith said. “he talks to us every now and then in the locker room and helping us with coverages. he is not as involved with us as he is the quarterbacks, but he does help.” devin smith is the team’s top returning receiver, leading the returning players in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns from last season.

But Zach smith said he isn’t looking for him to be the “go-to” receiver for Miller next season. in fact he isn’t looking to anybody to take up that role.

“My goal is to have every guy be a ‘go-to’ guy,” Zach smith said. “There’s different ways to try and take a guy out of a game. roll a coverage a certain way, and someone else may be that guy that we need to go to. it can never be an offense based on one or two guys. (we’ve) got to have four, five, six guys that can consistently perform to our standards, and that’s what we are trying to do.”

The wide receivers will look to fill the shoes of Brown and make names for themselves aug. 30 at noon, when Osu is scheduled to take on navy at M&T Bank stadium in Baltimore.

Then-junior wide receiver evan Spencer (6) reaches for a pass during the Big Ten championship Game against Michigan State Dec. 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium. OSU lost, 34-24.

Bad Day from 4A coaches and fans has been the lack of experience on the offensive line, as Osu lost four of five starters up front to graduation following the 2013-14 season. Junior offensive lineman Taylor decker, the lone remaining starter, will be looked to as a leader on the team next season Meyer said, but he also took a step back on Tuesday.

“Taylor was part of the bad day syndrome. But up to that point, very impressed with what he’s done,” Meyer said. “Leadership, toughness and doing all the things that previous group did, but today was not a good day.” with less than two weeks left of spring practice — which concludes with the spring Game april 12 at Ohio stadium — Meyer said his team cannot afford another poor practice.

Design students display senior theses in spring exhibit SAM HARRINGTON Senior Lantern reporter harrington.227@osu.edu For some, the senior thesis has a drab stigma — tedious, visually uninteresting and impractical — but that is not the case for seniors in Ohio State’s Department of Design.

A refrigerator redesign, an online network for upcycling and a better children’s healthcare facility are just some of the senior theses on display in the Department of Design’s 2014 spring exhibition.

The annual nine-day exhibition opened March 26 and showcases the senior thesis projects of undergraduates in industrial, interior and visual communication design, as well as select work from MFA design students, Mary Beecher, Department of Design chairwoman, said Monday in an email.

Students began researching their projects during Fall Semester, and after months of study, interviews, thought and planning, they began designing a prototype of their thesis in Spring Semester. The exhibition functions as a course, thus failing to produce a project means retaking the course — a full year setback.

“If we don’t have something to present in the show, we essentially get set back a year, it’s a failing grade for that class, we have to retake it,” said Adam Scott, a fourth-year in industrial design.

The “pressure to perform” was anxiety-inducing, however Scott said it was worth the stress.

What makes the project worthwhile is “being able to show off my skills and to be proud of what I’m presenting and to show the culmination of four years of learning,” Scott said.

Scott is one of about 50 undergraduate students participating in the exhibition. For his thesis, he chose to design a refrigerator with high content visibility.

“I never know what’s in my refrigerator, there’s a back corner and there’s drawers, I don’t know what’s in there,” he said. Scott’s refrigerator helps to alleviate those problems.

Scott is not alone in designing something that could solve a problem. Jennifer Wheat, a fourth-year in interior design, chose to redesign a children’s healthcare facility so it incorporates speech and occupational therapy.

Some medical facilities are constructed more like office

buildings, as opposed to having open spaces that could be more approachable by children, Wheat said.

“If a child needs speech therapy, they are often going to need occupational therapy as well, so it makes the most sense economically and for the child’s health to do both in the same building,” she said, adding that she tried to make an open space where a child could feel stimulated.

In the exhibition, there are two formal events for students to present their work — one for professionals and alumni and one for friends and family. While having your work viewed by those in the professional world is enticing, being able to share your work with those that matter is sometimes more rewarding, Beecher said.

“Perhaps the most fun is the family night … because design careers are not always clearly understood by the general public, this is sometimes a great chance for parents, siblings and friends, etc. to get a clearer picture of just what their loved one has been doing for the past four years,” Beecher said. “It is a wonderful opportunity for the faculty to meet the students’ families and friends and to celebrate the culmination of each student’s time as a design student in our department.”

Besides a way to showcase an individual’s work, the exhibition is also a chance to impress potential employers.

But even with the possibility of a job offer, the exhibition “is more about the project and less about your future job,” said Molly Dennig, a fourth-year in visual communication design.

Dennig’s thesis is an online network for upcycling — artistically reusing old things.

She built a website prototype that would allow people who want to be creative in their recycling, but don’t know what to do, to list and claim items.

“It’s sort of this never-ending cycle of people getting materials, making cool stuff with them and then selling them back,” she said. “I’m really happy with it, I wish it was real.”

Dennig said she is proud of her and her colleagues’ work. The past month was high-stress, but the time and energy spent was well worth the effort.

“I think everyone really likes their project, that’s the good part,” she said. “We’re all just really excited. Excited to be done, but excited that it’s a complete project, something that we’ve done.”

There is set to be a public reception 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Urban Arts Space at 50 W. Town St. The exhibition runs through Thursday.

3 most important reasons BuzzFeed is the actual worst

Summer Music Festivals OPINION

Nas, Kooks make Lolla’s lineup not totally shruggable MATTHEW LOVETT Asst. arts editor lovett.45@osu.edu

DANIELLE SEAMON Arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu

There is no greater high than the procrastination experienced when clicking on a BuzzFeed list — of that I am certain.

However, ladies and gents, this is nothing to be proud of. The site of lists with a global audience of millions is only evidence of our generation slowly morphing into an ADD, short-spanned, tweet-that-in-140-characters, I-only-have-time-to-microwave-my-meal, publish-my-face-in-a-virtual-book, can-yousend-that-to-me-in-a-text society, said my grandparents while I played Candy Crush at the dinner table.

Although Grandma Levesque has a point, my qualm with BuzzFeed is its ability to condense news, pop culture and social issues into a vacuum-sealed … oh sorry. I just realized anyone reading this is probably already bored with this mass amount of text not separated by .gifs.

OK — allow me to present the three most important reasons why BuzzFeed is the actual worst.

1. Superlatives are no longer sacred In fact, no basic grammar rule of English is sacred on BuzzFeed. By very definition, if one deems something the “actual worst,” there should only be one thing listed, and that thing should be worse than cooling down to a fruit smoothie of kale, pig’s feet, anchovies, “The Fox” song and Justin Bieber’s attitude. So far, the closest BuzzFeed has come to discovering such an item was in its list “These 14 Comic Sans Tattoos Are The Actual Worst,” where they might have found some hideous results to drunk dares, but still couldn’t settle on which of the 14 was the actual worst.

On the same token, if you are making a list of “The 21 Most Important Leaked Celebrity Nudes,” go get a job and move out of your parents’ basement.

2. Numerals are now buzzwords True story. I wrote for a website last

6A

summer, and a piece of advice from my editor was to add numbers to the headlines, especially when writing list posts. When I asked why, she said: “I don’t know. Apparently America is into that s---.”

Now I’m into that s---. I am an accounting major, and there is no other place numbers turn me on more than in the headline for a BuzzFeed list. In fact, I break out into hives if I click on a BuzzFeed post and it is laid out in article format. I could be on a stranded island with not a care in a world, and I still wouldn’t have time to read more than three sentences in a row not broken up with one Emma Stone .gif and a picture of a dog in pantyhose.

On the same note, if there is not a threewords-to-one-picture ratio, in any given article, go ahead and just write the text in Swahili.

I don’t understand what you are trying to convey.

3. There is now a quiz section Until about two days ago, I had no desire to know which annoying type of person on “House Hunters” I was. In fact, I didn’t even know such an option was available to me.

“Ha ha ha,” BuzzFeed laughed in a French accent. “Au contraire.”

Not only can I learn of my hypothetical, irritating disposition if I were on “House Hunters,” I can also figure out who I was in a past life, how gross is my gross sex list and (because apparently my own body is deficient in telling me so) if I should have a snack.

What’s even worse is I spend precious time carefully considering each option, constantly reminding myself that any wrong answer will truly affect my results in determining which Disney Newsie I am.

Once my results reveal I am in fact closest in personality to Stephanie on “Full House,” I breathe a sigh of relief that I didn’t get D.J., and find that I have literally learned nothing new about myself. I literally just wasted 20 minutes of my life.

Now excuse me, I’m going to go get buzzed on “19 Cats Who Have Absolutely Had It.”

Lollapalooza is such a big deal, guys. For years, Chicago’s Grant Park has hosted this prestigious threeday fest, one that has typically been on par with Coachella’s amazing lineup. Lolla is the festival you hold out for — the one you come back from one summer and immediately make plans to attend the next.

Which is why, to a great extent, what Lolla has to offer this year is so disappointing. The lineup is an exhausted list of artists we’ve seen before, such as headliners OutKast, Arctic Monkeys and Skrillex, all of which are already attending a number of festivals earlier in the season. Not to discredit the esteem these guys deserve as fronting the festival, but given that Lolla is slated for August’s first weekend, I would reckon that this will be the second or third time some goers hear these sets.

Same goes for the artists in the smaller print on the lineup sheet, who might be more worthwhile catching at shows outside of the festival.

All this said, I’m clearly in a minority given the speed at which passes were sold. Unless you plan to do a travel or “platinum” package for the festival (the former costing more than $1,500), you’re pretty much S.O.L. in attempting to go — three-day passes (starting at $250) sold out before the lineup came to light, and single-day tickets ($100) were cleared shortly after the announcement. If you snagged one of those tickets pre-lineup regretfully, sell it to a chump. Otherwise, below I’ve outlined five acts I couldn’t completely shrug off.

(Lollapalooza) is the festival you hold out for — the one you come back from one summer and immediately make plans to attend the next.

Which is why, to a great extent, it is so disapointing what Lolla has to offer this year. last year in Columbus and that position alone might hit on their brash demeanor. They’re a bunch of cell phonehating, not-afraid-to-call-you-out New Yorkers, whose pop-punk generates the pride of Bruce Springsteen but the exertion of any ‘ol-fashioned punk band.

5. Blood Orange (Aug. 1) Significantly less high-energy, the project of musician/ producer Dev Hynes is a hard one to pin down. “Cupid Deluxe,” his most recent record from 2013, seems to be largely an R&B work with a dash of what maybe is new wave and funk. Nonetheless, it’s an extravagant album from the frequent collaborator — work with Sky Ferreira and Solange, among others, make his curriculum vitae — putting Hynes’ Blood Orange one of the most interesting, and refreshing, artists to make the lineup.

1. Nas (Aug. 2) Nas, a clear stand-out in the upper-realm of Lolla, is not a rapper to pass up. Whether one is ignorantly and blissfully chatting up his 1994 debut “Illmatic” or delving into something more recent, Nas is just steps away from being a legend. He’s heading over to Coachella in Indio, Calif., too, but Lolla might serve as a closer spot to see the rapper.

2. The Kooks (Aug. 1) Mostly a throwback band here. With the Kooks, as a run-of-the-millennial, it was all about the first record, 2006’s “Inside In/Inside Out.” I was far more geeked about the Kooks then, because of how preciously protruding their British accents were in the music (“how exotic,” I write, dreamy-eyed) and their knack for writing definitively indie-pop songs that I wish I could have written as a teenager. I think I might have just convinced myself to go to Lolla.

3. Cut Copy (Aug. 2) If Cut Copy’s Newport show last week reflected anything, it was that the group knows how to perform without making it look tedious.

This group of Australian dance-rockers could probably play for hours without more than a singular bead of sweat coming from their collective scalps. They will continually be on point for every breakdown, crafting moments where you can’t help but invite yourself to the party.

4. The So So Glos (Aug. 1) The So So Glos opened for best buds Diarrhea Planet

MADISON CURTIS / Design editor

Austin is one of the most kind, energetic and bubbly children I know.

He can’t talk though.

Austin is one of the many children today that is diagnosed with an autism HANNAH CHENETSKI spectrum disorchenetski.4@osu.edu der. He has one of the more severe forms that prohibit him from being able to express himself in words.

I have known Austin since he was about 5 years old. Our brothers played baseball together so I always saw him at games running around and trying to get people to play with him. Even though I was much older than Austin , we played.

I knew something was “wrong” with him, but I didn’t know what. All I knew was he needed a friend and that I would be that for him.

I have not seen Austin in about a year because I’ve been at OSU, but he is a freshman in high school now and from what I understand, he is doing great. He is still going to speech

CAMPUS columnist

Autism in the United States

therapy and trying to conquer this disorder, while living a happy, normal life.

Autism affects one in 68 children, with the majority being males, according to Autism Speaks, an autism science and advocacy organization. No two cases of autism are alike, which makes it hard for researchers and doctors to find a cure. When I graduated high school, I knew that I wanted to do something in college that could help Austin.

When I came to Ohio State and went through sorority recruitment, it was such a whirlwind and frankly, I don’t remember much of it. However, I remember that on philanthropy round, when the women discuss their chapter’s selected charity, one house stuck out to me: Alpha Xi Delta.

Alpha Xi Delta was decked out in blue on philanthropy round day. From the blue food to the blue decorations, I could tell that it had to do with their philanthropy in some way. And it did.

Alpha Xi Delta’s national philanthropy is Autism Speaks and the color of autism awareness and Autism Speaks is blue. I was so moved by the stories some sisters told as well as the video they shared with us.

I left that round knowing that I had a connection with that sorority and that I wanted to be a part of that organization because it gave me a connection to home. I joined Alpha Xi Delta and since then have been very passionate about our philanthropy.

It is hands on. We don’t just write a check and send it off to some charity in a different state. We volunteer with children. We make them crafts.

We fundraise. We are passionate about our philanthropy and the possibility of finding a cure someday.

April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day and everyone, everywhere is encouraged to “Light It Up Blue.” This means wear blue, put blue lights on your house, etc. All blue, everything.

The entire month of April is also Autism Awareness Month. Many organizations and businesses hold events all throughout the month of April to raise awareness about autism and to get people on board to support the cause. White Castle is a huge supporter of Autism Speaks.

My sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, is also doing things throughout the month of April, including our spring philanthropy event, Grillin’ with the Xi’s, on April 12.

Odds are, with one in 68 children being affected by autism, you know someone that has been affected. Everyone has a story to tell and these stories need to be heard.

Autism prevalence is growing around the world and while there is no detected cure, the more research that is done, the better. Support autism awareness on April 2 and the whole month of April by wearing Austin’s favorite color: Blue.

Snapchat obsession distracting, questionable at times MUYAO SHEN Lantern reporter shen.414@osu.edu “Writing a commentary about Snapchat. Any opinions?” Right after I sent a Snapchat with this caption to my friends, I received more than 10 selfies with responses in one minute.

When I was scrolling through all the Snapchats in my feed, I realized I had been on it all day.

Why are we so obsessed with Snapchat?

A study conducted by Sumpto, a company that works with roughly 50,000 college students on social media, shows that 77 percent of more than 1,600 “social media-savvy” college students surveyed use Snapchat daily.

So it is back to the question again: why are we so obsessed?

Wednesday April 2, 2014

“It is good as long as people don’t screenshot.”

The biggest advantage of Snapchat here: it is erasable (although some researchers have said Snapchat actually saves these pictures).

I don’t remember how many times I have gone on Twitter or Facebook and later felt like an idiot for writing something stupid. And then after a while, I would stop posting anything on Facebook and Twitter just to avoid shameful feelings.

Snapchat is no-regret-chat indeed.

Oh, screenshots! What an interesting function of Snapchat. People complain about it a lot, but honestly, I believe many like the app for how risky it is and how entertaining it would be later.

“I can see people’s nude pictures on Snapchat!”

I hope my friend was joking when he said that.

Snapchat seems to provide sexting, texting

involved with sexual scenes, a perfect platform since the way Snapchat was designed somehow implies its protection of privacy.

What is noticeable is that according to the survey, less than 2 percent of students actually use Snapchat for sexting.

And then I received a Snapchat from someone I have not talked to for long time, which said, “What’s up?”

And here we go, with pictures, Snapchat helps us be less awkward when we try to contact someone after it’s been a long time.

I guess there are more and more advantages of Snapchat, but seriously, I should probably stop looking at them and get back to studying now.
