Former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee is set to have a new permanent place on campus by the end of September. Renovations on Gee’s new office space in Page Hall are expected to cost $50,000 or less and include minor construction, carpeting, painting and updating, OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said in an email. Lewis said in a Friday email construction could be starting this week, and the project should be completed by mid- to late September. Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Schottenstein had said July 31 no final decision had been made on Gee’s future office and denied reports that a $190,000 renovation project had been approved, adding that the goal was to find Gee an existing office to use, according to the Associated Press. OSU has hired Columbus-based Gilbane Building Company and Delaware, Ohio, based MB Design Group to handle the renovation of rooms 210F and 210G in Page Hall. The contract with Gilbane is worth approximately $18,000 and involves most of the painting and removing the wall between the two rooms, while the contract with MB Design Group is worth $3,087 and includes carpeting. The space will have an area for an assistant, an employee and students who are working with Gee on his research of 21st century education policy.
Page Hall houses the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. Gee will also maintain an office in Moritz College of Law, where he is serving as a tenured professor, but the “Page Hall space will be the only space for his center/staff,” Lewis said. Until then, “Gee and his assistant have been temporarily housed at (the South Campus) Gateway and will remain there until completion of the Page Hall renovations,” Lewis said. Some OSU students feel the renovation’s cost is appropriate. “I think the university has enough money to spend on a president

I think that renovating an office for him isn’t too bold of a move for the university at all,” said Kathryn Wrightsman, a first-year in marketing. Some students, though, think the renovation is too pricey. “Given the amount of money he’s already received from the university and the retirement plan he’s already been given it’s a lot of money,” said Jeff Mojzer, a recent graduate in psychology. “It comes to a point

Ohio State received more than $374 million in donations during the 2013 fiscal year. The “But for Ohio State” campaign is now more than halfway to its $2.5 billion goal, due to donations from nearly 228,300 alumni and other donors this year. The campaign raised $365 million in 2012, about 2.5 percent less than the 2013 total. Meanwhile, University of Michigan raised $288 million during fiscal year 2012, and Purdue University raised $227.3 million in the 2010-2011 fiscal year, according to their respective websites. The campaign raised $57.5 million for student scholarships and aid in 2013 as part of the $100 million Ohio Scholarship Challenge. The Challenge aims to create a full scholarship in each of the 88 Ohio counties and support other alumni club scholarships. Other priority areas this year were faculty ($118.3 million), facilities ($35.2 million), research ($111 million) and innovation ($35.4 million). Forty-five donors gave $1 million or more this year, including Sam Covelli, owner and CEO of Covelli Enterprises, a franchisee of Panera and O’Charley’s. Covelli’s
‘ratCHITT’ party results in about 5 arrests, several other citations DANIEL BENDTSEN AND LOGAN HICKMAN Lantern reporters bendtsen.1@osu.edu and hickman.201@osu.edu Thousands of partygoers took to Chittenden Avenue Saturday night into Sunday morning for a street party called “ratCHITT,” where there were about five arrests and pepper spray may have been used in one instance. More than 1,700 people replied they were going to the event on the ratCHITT Facebook page out of more than 5,500 who were invited. About 80 Columbus Division of Police officers were in the area, using patrol cars, bikes, horses and helicopters, Columbus Police Sgt. Patrick Shaffer said, partly to keep the street clear of pedestrians because it was not closed off to traffic. Shaffer said there were about five arrests and several citations and summons issued, but he wasn’t sure of the exact numbers. He believed one non-OSU student was pepper-sprayed when the man resisted arrest, but that the substance was not used “on a massive scale.” Most of the enforcement was in response to violations of open container laws and for underage drinking, Shaffer said. University Police representatives did
not return calls requesting comment late afternoon Sunday. Shaffer said the party didn’t get out of hand, though. “We had some minor incidences, but essentially, what we did was we ended up encouraging people to leave because it starts to get too big, the sidewalks get closed and it becomes a public safety issue,” Shaffer said, adding that when the sidewalks are too full, pedestrians spill into the street and end up blocking the paths emergency vehicles would need to take in the event of an emergency. People gathered on sidewalks and porches before mounted police moved into the streets shortly before 1 a.m. to close off the area and demand partygoers leave. Shaffer said issues don’t typically involve OSU students. “A lot of times, our biggest problems tonight (and) most of our arrests, are not university students. (There were) a couple that were visiting from other universities but a lot of our big troublemakers were not college students at all. They would be from other areas of the city. They hear about it, they come down here to cause trouble,” Shaffer said. “It’s always the non-OSU students who cause the most trouble.” He added that OSU students could

The OSU Alumni Association has also played a large part in the campaign thus far by instituting a universal alumni membership model that in turn increased the amount of alumni donations, with nearly $79.7 million in donations coming from alumni. The campaign’s progress this year will allow for new innovations at OSU, interim OSU President Joseph Alutto said. “Thanks to the generosity and goodwill of many, Ohio State will take the next important step in our university’s tradition of finding solutions to grand challenges,” Alutto said in a released statement. The campaign is run by the OSU Foundation. Michael Eicher, senior vice president of advancement and president of the OSU Foundation, said the fundraising is a “testament” to donors’ support of OSU’s research and other initiatives.

Buckeye Kick-Off was held Aug. 24 at Ohio Stadium and featured multiple speakers and an OSU marching band performance.
With football season fast approaching, some Ohio State freshmen have been looking for ways to learn Buckeye traditions. A Saturday OSU Student Life Welcome Week event called Buckeye Kick-Off featuring multiple speakers and an OSU marching band performance helped get them riled up. First-year in health sciences Brian Giannetti said Buckeye Kick-Off was a great start to his first OSU football season as a student. “I think it’s going to be really fun to just go out there and cheer on the team with my closest friends,” Giannetti said. When the gates to Ohio Stadium opened, the fans were seated in the west stands as highlights of the 2012 football season flashed on the scoreboard. “Today we’re going to be introducing you to the sights and sounds of an OSU football game,” host Ray Sharp told the crowd. Sharp is a recent OSU
graduate in industrial engineering who was the recipient of several scholarships and was involved in Greek life, the OSU Spirit Program and served as a student ambassador during his time at OSU. Attendees were shown a message from two-time Heisman Trophy winner and President and CEO of the OSU Alumni Association, Archie Griffin. He implored students to support all Buckeye athletic teams and to take advantage of the numerous opportunities afforded them at OSU. Meyer did not speak at the event. The Block “O” director of football operations Jake Bradley unveiled the new banner that will be unfurled at every home game in the student section that reads, “The People. The Tradition. The Excellence.” Then came the entrance of the OSU marching band, which performed what director Jon Waters described as “the greatest tradition in college band history,” Script Ohio. Some in attendance said the band’s performance lived up to their expectations. “It gives me chills every time,” said Kelsi

Traffic lights installed on campus aim to increase safety MARIO ROBERTSON Lantern reporter robertson.328@osu.edu A new traffic signal was installed at the intersection of College Road and 12th Avenue before Fall Semester began, its purpose to further traffic safety on Ohio State’s campus. “The signal was installed to help control high volumes of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and to maintain safe patterns of travel in the area,” OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning Lindsay Komlanc said in an email. “When you have particularly high volumes of pedestrian traffic, mixed with motor vehicle traffic, it is most efficient to have a signalized crossing to direct the flow of when pedestrians should cross and when motorists have the right of way.” Installing the signals cost $343,000, which was funded by the Department of Transportation and Traffic Management, Komlanc said. Some students are pleased with the addition to South Campus. “I think for as much traffic as (the area) gets, I believe a light should be there,” said Nathan Bulman, a first-year in mechanical engineering. “I was walking around there last night (Aug. 23), and even when there was a red light, it did not seem like drivers were keen on stopping. It’s reassuring that the light is there, (because) I would rather wait than have a chance of being in an accident.” However, some students see the signal as unnecessary.
“I feel that it is my own responsibility as a pedestrian for me to look both ways before I cross, and make sure I am not going to get hit,” said David Thomas, a second-year in economics . “I work under the assumption that they are not going to stop for me… I feel like traffic is more of a problem off-campus where you are subject to drunk drivers who are maybe not going to obey things like stop signs, but I feel that the on-campus increase in lights is unwarranted.” While enforcement of the traffic laws is vital to traffic safety on campus, Komlanc said, writing citations is not a main focus of this campaign. “OSU PD has had a visible presence on campus since the start of the semester and has been giving warnings related to jaywalking and other traffic safety violations,” Komlanc said. “The citations are always at the officer’s discretion, but the goal isn’t to simply write a lot of tickets, it is to help the university community and all modes of transportation understand the rules of the road.” Some students believe that issuing warnings and tickets to those who jaywalk on campus will help to curb this type of activity. The Columbus Division of Police began enforcing jaywalking rules and issued citations for law breaking Spring Semester after a series of accidents in the campus and off-campus area occurred Fall Semester 2012. Thomas said he thinks ticketing is effective. “The threat of receiving a jaywalking ticket irritates me, but I do feel that it makes it safer for everyone that is crossing the street,”

A traffic light was installed at 12th Avenue and College Road. Thomas said. Other students, however, believe that issuing tickets is not a permanent solution to the problem on campus. “I think it would probably stop that individual for a day or two, but I don’t think it would impact everyone,” Bulman said. “Unless you had a cop sitting there 24/7 giving a ticket to everybody, I don’t think there will be any change.” The Ohio State Traffic and Safety Task Force was created by the university after three traffic incidents on or adjacent to campus left

A block party called ‘ratCHITT’ was held Aug. 24 on Chittenden Avenue. There were about five arrests and pepper spray may have been used in one instance, according to a CPD sergeant.
ratCHITT from 1A face Student Conduct repercussions if they are arrested, but that minor incidents such as violations of open container laws or underage drinking are rarely reported to the university. OSU Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said there were no Student Conduct cases pending from ratCHITT as of Sunday night. Shaffer said police went to houses on Chittenden Avenue during the week leading up to the event and “discussed what the expectations are as far as what to do so you don’t get in trouble.” Marygrace Ashdown, a fourth-year in marketing who lives on Chittenden Avenue, said the police came to her house earlier in the week. “One of the (officers) knocked on our door and she said, ‘Hey, I just wanted to let you know there is a really big street party happening on Saturday night and be careful.’ I was actually impressed because she was looking out for the people who are living on Chitt,” Ashdown said. “The reason she had come by was to tell us that there were a lot of people planning to participate in this party and to not let strangers into our home.” The name of the event was a play on the slang
term “rachet.” Ratchet is defined by Urban Dictionary as “A word that people use to call something ‘ghetto’ or the equivalent of ‘ghetto.’” The term is used in the song “Ratchet Girl Anthem” by Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson. RatCHITT was advertised on Facebook as an “Autumn Semester twist” on ChittShow, an annual block party held in the spring on Chittenden Avenue that has been shut down using pepper spray in the past. Michael Centofanti, a third-year OSU student in geographic information sciences who attended Ratchitt, felt the police presence was a “waste of police funds.” Centofanti did not believe the number of officers was necessary for the safety of the students. “Controlling a party and eliminating it are two different things. Shutting down a party with no major problems is not my idea of control,” he said. Other students felt the party was neither fun nor dangerous. “I think (it was) a crazy amount of people but (it was) not that fun,” said Autumn Stalsworth, a second-year in nursing. “I don’t think anyone (was) in danger.”

The OSU Marching Band and football staff demonstrate Quick Cals at Buckeye Kick-Off, held Aug. 24 at Ohio Stadium.
Buckeye from 2A Martin, a first-year in exploration. “It’s amazing, (the marching band members) are so good.” The band then went through many of the different songs and chants that are heard during a football game, including “Hang On Sloopy” and Stadium O-H-I-O. Anthony Schlegel, former Buckeye linebacker and the team’s assistant strength and conditioning coach, told attendees sitting down at football games will not be permitted. He told everyone to “(turn) up the juice” and teaching everyone how to perform the pregame “quick cals,” a tradition Meyer started last season. After hearing from members of many of the Buckeye sports teams, including football and men’s basketball, the fans were invited down to the field to get their picture taken in a giant Block “O.” As is custom for many Ohio State athletic events, the evening ended with a rendition of “Carmen Ohio.” The kick-off event was a memorable one according to some students who went.

“It was great, I stood there (in the Block “O”) and I really felt like a part of OSU,” said Connor Basile, a first-year in engineering physics. Others agreed. “I thought it was amazing,” said Kayla Hackenberg, a first-year in exploration. “It made me so happy to be a Buckeye.” Some students who haven’t memorized the words of “Carmen Ohio” felt they got much needed extra practice. “My favorite part was ‘Carmen Ohio,’” said Lexie Rindler, a first-year in psychology. “I’ve got the words down, finally.” Students in attendance were already predicting perfection for the upcoming season before a ball has even been snapped — neither Giannetti nor Matt Groves, a first-year in biology, hesitated to say they expect the Buckeyes to go undefeated for the second year in a row. The OSU football season kicks off Saturday at noon against Buffalo at Ohio Stadium.
be improved by enforcing rules with and without citations by University Police. “While the group felt that there was a lot of opportunity for increasing traffic safety on campus, they also felt the university had a strong foundation on which to build,” Komlanc said. “The main message is: Whether walking, biking or driving, we all share the responsibility to do so safely.”

From ferrets dressed as princessed to ones in ponchos, chocolate breeds to albino ferrets, competition, prize-winning ferrets to newcomers, there was room for every ferret lover at the 15th Ferret Buckeye Bash. The Bash was held Saturday at Franklin County Veterans Memorial. The ferret show brought ferret lovers from near and far to have their pets judged in more than 25 specialty categories. Getting together in the name of ferrets serves a bigger purpose than just showing off fuzzy friends, however. The Bash sponsors local rescue shelter and Heart of Ohio Ferret Association and Rescue (HOFA), the hosts of the show, and is one of the largest in the country, said show coordinator Scarlett Gray-Scaling. “The best fundraiser you can have to support a shelter is to put on a show. That’s what funds our shelter,” Gray-Scaling said. “Plus, it supports shelters from other states that come in (and) have a vendor table.” Gray-Scaling also said the show includes between 250 and 300 championship ferret entries each year and 200 specialty ferret entries from as far as Japan. Each category has different criteria for judging the ferrets, depending on their breed and age. “There’s not much we look for across the board,” said Ruth Heller, a ferret judge at the Ferret Buckeye Bash. “You’re looking for a fresh, good coat and personality.” Heller said each category has special features for judges to examine, including patterns in their fur

Each ferret costs $12 to $20 to enter, depending on their type and age. Competitors are judged by three different judges and the cream of the crop receive a rosette ribbon and an Ohio-shaped trophy, complete with a smiling model ferret. Some participants in the show have been attending for years to get together with other ferret owners and watch their pets soar in the competition. Barbara Burnett has been a ferret owner for about 20 years and has attended shows regularly in the past five years.
“You get to meet other ferret owners,” she said as she showed off her ferret, Buffy, who was sporting a large, sky blue tutu rimmed with navy sequins and a matching tule-filled headdress for the occasion. Brenda Seffrin has worked for HOFA for almost two years and agreed that shows are the best way to meet other ferret owners. She also said showing her ferret makes the shows fun. Seffrin was showing her 1-yearold ferret, Quinnlyn, in the competition and said her pet had done well so far in the judges’ eyes, but was waiting to enter her little furry friend in other competitions later in the day. “It’s exciting to see what (the judges) think,” she said as she held her young, dark brown ferret. “They’re all so unique; they’re just the best animals to have.” Gray said the show is a learning experience as well for people who may not know much about ferrets. “It brings people in for education. It’s an all-over education, getting ferret people together,” Gray said. Seffrin said that people tend to have misconceptions about ferrets. “I think people think they’re mean and they stink but they don’t,” Seffrin said. “It’s their bedding, if you don’t keep it clean, that’s what stinks, not the ferret.” Burnett agreed that misconceptions about ferrets are common. “People think that they’re rodents, and they’re not,” Burnett said. Ferrets belong to the same family as weasels and minks, according to the Humane Society of the United States. The Bash included other activities such as a best dressed ferret competition, a tube race and a paper bag escape where ferrets raced to escape from a brown sack. About 40 vendors were also available to sell ferret food, bedding and other goodies.

Matt & Kim impress with energetic set at Summerfest music festival Nick Roll Lantern reporter roll.66@osu.edu
From idea to Art: Theory and Practice round Table 10:45 a.m. @ Urban Arts Space Flicks for Free ft. ‘Safe haven’ 6 p.m. @ US Bank Conference Theater david Murray: infinity Quartet 7 & 9 p.m. @ Shadowbox Live
Fedoras: check. Ray-Bans: check. TOMS: check. Area hipsters converged for Summerfest, an indie music festival showcasing more than 15 different bandsranging from local acts like Chinese School to the big headliners: Matt & Kim, Cold War Kids, Ra Ra Riot and Smith Westerns. The festival took place Saturday at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, and was sponsored by Columbus radio station CD102.5. Smith Westerns played a quick, half hour set at 6 p.m. that was missed by a lot of people either making their way to the Festival Stage, one of the four LC stages used for the fest, or purchasing drinks or merchandise. They were a good choice to open the Festival Stage after the local acts; however, they were underappreciated, as they have a relaxed, laid-back style that didn’t command the crowd’s attention.
Ra Ra Riot went on next and had a killer set, characterized by the band’s fun, funky style and great vocals from lead singer Wes Miles. The Syracusebased band captivated more attention from the audience than Smith Westerns and was more active in engaging with the crowd as well. As someone who has never listened to Ra Ra Riot before, they’re one of those bands who, as soon as you hear them, you regret not listening to them earlier. Ra Ra Riot was followed by Cold War Kids, who definitely had a larger stage presence than the previous groups. This might have been due in part to more and more people getting out of the beer line by this point (the people next to me certainly spent a long time there). Cold War Kids definitely appealed to an older crowd, which is when I noticed that a strong majority of the crowd seemed to be older — most people looked like they had been out of college for some time. Cold War Kids had a very entertaining set. But Matt & Kim absolutely blew the previous bands out of the water. There was no contest. Though they might seem quirky and cute on their albums, the Brooklyn-based duo came to party.
Every song was amped-up, faster and crazier than the recorded versions, and it made me wonder how drummer Kim Schifino ever calms down and stops standing on top of her drum set long enough for them to record a song in the studio. They put on more than a show. Really, it was halfrave, half-show, because who was going to stop them from dropping Ace Hood’s “Bugatti” or DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” so they could dance between songs in their set? The crowd joined in with the impromptu antics, but no matter how great of a show Matt & Kim put on, I know there was no way I had as much fun as an audience member than they did on stage. They kicked off the set with “Block After Block,” a single from their sophomore album “Sidewalks,” and played hits such as “Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare,” “Cameras,” “Daylight” and “Yea Yeah.” The sold-out crowd, myself included, loved every minute of it. If you ever have the chance to get to a Matt & Kim concert, by all means, get there. You won’t be disappointed.
Raffles, cultural food, jewelry present at 19th annual Egyptian Festival Shannon Clary Lantern reporter clary.60@osu.edu

Egyptian culture was celebrated with food, crafts and entertainment in Columbus. The 19th annual Egyptian Festival took place at the St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church last weekend. Egyptian food, traditional jewelry, detailed tours of the church, raffles and children’s games helped immerse attendees in a positive spirit of Egypt. The festival, which ran Friday through Sunday, came to life after a year of planning. “At the beginning of the year, we meet maybe once a month, then as the festival gets closer, it starts getting faster,” said Martine Saad, a second-year student at Columbus State and member of the festival committee. A diverse crowd of people chatted happily while chowing down on traditional Egyptian food, such as
shish kabob, stuffed grape leaves and hummus and pita. The festival came at a pivotal time, as citizens of Egypt are experiencing the aftermath of the July 3 overthrow of the country’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi. The military coup sparked numerous uprisings, leaving Egypt in unrest. Second-year in neuroscience and committee festival member Jasmyn Atalla said the festival is a way of reminding everyone of the positive aspects of Egypt. “We have hope for a better future,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to show the community what we have to offer in the culture of Egypt. Not all Egyptians are radicals, and the majority of us really want peace.” A lot of the money raised at the festival from the sales of food, raffle tickets and merchandise will be used to aid the native people back in Egypt. A representative from the Egyptian Festival said the amount raised from the festival has not yet been determined. Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

Receivers ready to make impact Daniel Rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu Prior to coming to Ohio State, Urban Meyer’s teams had at least one thing in common: a healthy pass offense. It is an area that Meyer is looking to improve on in his second season at OSU, and he is counting on the wide receivers to grow and develop this fall into a group that could be similar to what he had when he was the coach of the Florida Gators. While Meyer was at Florida, the Gators only had one season where they averaged less than 213 yards per game through the air, a total that in his first season at Ohio State the Buckeyes fell far short of. During their undefeated season, OSU failed to reach the 200 yard mark through the air in all but four games, including only throwing for 97 yards during a 21-14 overtime victory at Wisconsin Nov. 17. Part of the problem with the Buckeyes’ passing game last year was the receiving core, which only had two players who racked up more than 300 receiving yards. But with another year under their belts, along with an influx of young talent from Meyer’s second recruiting class, the OSU wide receivers are looking to make a big difference in the offense this season. Wide receivers coach Zach Smith said the receivers were weak last year, but in the offseason they have grown to become threats in the offense. “They’ve had trials, tribulations, had hard times, had great successes and so they have grown and learned from mistakes to the point where now they’re able to be a mature group and able to use those learning points in the past to make sure they don’t happen again and grow from them,” Smith said. “I’m pleased with the growth from them in the last year.” Junior quarterback Braxton Miller hinted that he’s looking to spread the ball around more this year, with his top two receivers senior Corey “Philly” Brown and junior Devin Smith returning this season. “We did less throwing last year, and there is going to be a lot of throwing this year,” Miller said. Brown, who led the team with 669 yards and 60 catches in 2012, is expecting a big jump in the team’s offensive production. “I think this year you can expect our offense to shoot up the charts if we keep doing what we are doing and try to eliminate the stupid mistakes, we could be one of the top offenses in the country,” Brown said. A lot of talk from fall camp surrounds junior Evan

Then-junior Corey Brown (10) avoids the defense against Michigan Nov. 24, 2012 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 26-21. Spencer and his development into a potential star receiver. “What (Spencer has) shown flashes of at times, he’s really done consistently,” Zach Smith said. “He’s probably the one receiver that I’m most pleased with the step he’s took. That’s not to take away from Philly or Devin or guys that have taken steps. Evan has really taken a bigger step.” Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman made it clear Spencer is a starter and the rest of the receivers have also improved this fall. “The first thing that I’ve said earlier in camp was that our veterans are improved,” Herman said. “They’re better. Evan Spencer’s had a great camp. Evan Spencer’s a starting wide receiver at The Ohio State University. Philly Brown is better, Devin Smith is better. We’re better.” At OSU Media Day Aug. 11, Meyer said the
top three receivers on the team were Devin Smith, Brown and Spencer, but that Spencer was having a great camp. An issue Spencer said he had last year was with hitting his routes and winning balls in the air, but has become much more confident as a player heading into the 2013 season. “Myself personally, I feel like I’m developing a little more as a route runner,” Spencer said Aug. 10. “That was my main thing this year that I was focusing on, making sure I am lowering out of my cuts, making sure every time the ball is up in the air I’m going up and getting it.” Spencer said he has taken on more of a leadership role this offseason, trying to get some of the younger players to feel more comfortable in the offense.

Young players to be counted on for OSU women’s volleyball tim Moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu The No. 23 Ohio State women’s volleyball team held its annual Scarlet and Gray scrimmage at St. John Arena Saturday, marking the first action for the 2013 freshman class. The Gray team won the scrimmage, 3-1, in four sets. Coach Geoff Carlston said “the game of volleyball doesn’t care how old you are,” and that he expects the freshmen to be ready to contribute. “They’ll all be on the court at some point or another,” Carlston said. “It’s just a matter of how quickly they get into the mix and learn.” Kaitlyn Leary, a senior outside hitter, said she is excited about the group of new players. “I think it’s a really strong group as a whole,” she said. “All of them have stepped up.” Leary called freshman middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe’s play in the scrimmage “outstanding,” but Sandbothe has not been the only newcomer to impress. Both outside hitter Kylie Randall and defensive specialist Valeria León played well in their first organized contest as Buckeyes, according to

game days are usually like,” Sandbothe said. “It’s definitely a lot different than high school or club.” Beyond the freshmen, Carlston praised the aggressive play of junior outside hitter Erin Sekinger. “I thought she got after it pretty good,” Carlston said. “I’m really happy to see that because it’s something we’ve been pushing everyone to do.” He added that Sekinger has made the biggest strides out of any player on the team since last season. Sekinger recorded 13 kills in three sets for the Scarlet team and added three in one set for the Gray. Leary mirrored those numbers, as the two tied for the match lead with 16 total kills. Sandbothe played on both squads as Carlston switched the teams after each set. Junior setter Taylor Sherwin led all players with 40 assists. The Buckeyes are set to open their season Aug. 30 at the NIU Invitational in DeKalb, Ill.

studentvoice South Oval construction comes full circle for seniors multimedia editor
As a fourth-year student here at Ohio State, I might be part of a small percentage of current students that can actually remember the South Oval from back in the fall of 2010. I spent my freshman year living in Stradley Hall just a 30-second walk to the South Oval. I spent the Welcome Week of my freshman year on the South Oval at the Weezer concert with my floormates and roommates. I spent countless summer days getting a tan on the kaily cunningham grass with my friends. cunningham.572@osu.edu I also sadly watched the South Oval become a construction site and a mud-filled swamp. I passed by the South Oval quarter after quarter, then semester after semester, waiting for it to finally be done. But it just seemed like a neverending wait. Students were told the construction was part of the south dorm renovations, that way all four dorms (Smith, Steeb, Park and Stradley halls) could now have air-conditioning and it would be more cost efficient. I remember being told the plan was to have the new heating/cooling systems ready for when Park-Stradley Hall reopened in the fall of 2012, but the construction remained until just recently. The fences blocked the sidewalks and got in the way of three years of Mirror Lake jumps, which was quite a hassle with the mass of people. The blocked-off areas hindered past Welcome Week concerts, moving last year’s Big Sean concert into much smaller area closer to Mirror Lake. But now, as I begin my final year at OSU, I can finally enjoy using the South Oval for two more semesters. I can also enjoy one more completed construction project on a campus constantly full of them.

With construction wrapping up on the South Oval, some students are excited to spend time on the previously off-limits area of campus.
Ben Affleck an OK choice for Batman arts Columnist
When word broke that Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne in the upcoming Warner Bros. “Man of Steel” sequel, the pushback to the news was extraordinary. After the Thursday announcet.j. mcgarry ment, the social mcgarry.28@osu.edu media world exploded with indignation at the idea of anyone other than Christian Bale playing Batman. However, I think Affleck is an acceptable candidate for the role. The outrage over Affleck taking over the reins as Batman is in large part due to people’s love of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy. No actor, with the exception of Bale, who already turned down the role, would have been met with approval by the general populace. The widespread popularity of Nolan’s version of Batman, as well as the still-fresh memory of “The Dark Knight Rises” film on people’s minds, makes it difficult to imagine any other actor taking on the part. As for Affleck himself, he has been on a great run of making excellent films. Since 2009, he has appeared in the criminally underrated “State of Play,” he directed and starred in the fantastic crime thriller “The Town” (2010) and he directed and starred in 2013’s Best Picture Oscar winner “Argo” (2012), one of my favorite movies from the past decade. Yes, his last stab at a superhero movie was
terrible. “Daredevil” (2003) was a disaster on par with Nicolas Cage’s “Ghost Rider” (2007) and Seth Rogen’s “The Green Hornet” (2011). However, I believe Affleck has developed a great deal as an actor since his “Daredevil” and “Pearl Harbor” (2001) days. If we can forgive Chris Evans for his flop in both “The Fantastic Four” movies and accept him as a believable Captain America, then we can give Affleck another chance at being a superhero. My question for Batman fans is this: If not Bale or Affleck, then who can play Batman? Matt Damon has moved away from big action roles, Ryan Gosling doesn’t have enough of a tough edge to him and Jeremy Renner lacks the acting chops to pull it off. Perhaps Josh Brolin could do a good job with the part, but I would be no more excited about him taking the role than Affleck. I am not very excited about Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” sequel due to my underwhelming response to the first film. But Affleck as Batman is not a reason to bash the movie already. He is a true Hollywood star who had the courage to take on a big project that he most likely knew he would receive backlash for. I think he should be commended and I look forward to seeing his take on the Dark Knight.

Letter to the editor: Students were eager with anticipation of transforming the world through leadership after their departure for Camp Joy Outdoor Education Center this summer. The LeaderShape Institute welcomed sixty, hand-selected Ohio State students to participate in a six-day experience, facilitated by faculty members. The event was completely funded by Coca-Cola and the Ohio Union, allowing every student to participate for free. As the week started out, the question seemed to be what kind of leader every individual wanted to become and how he or she was going to achieve that goal. “I want to be the kind of person who believes in the possibility of myself and others the most when times seem the hardest,” said Brian Jaros, a second-year OSU student. Each day, students were placed in highly-interactive groups to learn about prevailing topics, including creation of community, implementing of action plans, evaluation of personal strengths and challenges, group problem solving and ethics. Discussion of these themes allowed the students and facilitators to fulfill LeaderShape’s vision of “A just, caring and thriving world where all lead with integrity and a healthy disregard for the impossible.” It is possible to make a difference in today’s world when the norm is challenged and the future of society is envisioned. A dream can come to life with resilient community and one valued individual embracing the power of all people. When a leader can live and lead with integrity, he or she will rise to the top with courage. “LeaderShape inspired me to sit in the front row of my life, and empowered me to truly believe I can make a change in this world,” said Sudzy Steyn a third-year OSU student. Every student made the commitment to step up to their goals as leaders and to promote their own vision of what the world could become by staying in
action when returning to Columbus. “I developed a vision of what I want the world to look like in my future. While at times I was unsure and doubted my ability, my passion for my vision allowed me to create manageable goals that I can immediately work towards accomplishing upon returning to campus,” said Jesse Lilly, a third-year OSU student. Applications for LeaderShape 2014 will be available early spring. Jenny Querry Second-year in English LeaderShape participant querry.9@osu.edu

sports OSU women’s soccer earns milestone victory for Walker
Women’s soccer downs Eastern Michigan in OT, 2-1
jason Morrow Lantern reporter morrow.182@osu.edu
Junior midfielder and co-captain Ellyn Gruber’s overtime goal against Eastern Michigan gave the Buckeyes a 2-1 victory. Her goal also keeps the team’s unbeaten regular season streak alive at 13, tying a women’s soccer team record set in 2004. The Eagles took advantage of a free kick on the left side of the OSU box in the 31st minute, and Cara Cutaia scored her second goal of the season. Heading into the half, the Buckeyes trailed 1-0. Coach Lori Walker said halftime adjustments changed the game. “(We) went into a 3-4-3 and that gave us a little bit more possession in the midfield as well as a better defensive presence, and I think that’s where the game started to shift and change,” Walker said. Freshman forward Lindsay Agnew tied the game at 1 in the 60th minute. Junior defender Ashley Gruenbaum played a long ball into the Eagles’ box and Agnew headed home the goal. With a tie looming, play became more aggressive, indicative with the number of fouls increasing in the second half. Regulation came to a close with the score remaining tied at 1. It was less than nine minutes into overtime when Gruber sent home a rebound for her first goal of the season. The midfielder thought her team did well in playing to the end. “We struggled in the beginning, but we found a way to win,” Gruber said. “We pulled it out in the end.” Agnew said she is looking forward to the possibility of keeping the team’s winning streak alive. “I’m really excited about that and we hope Wednesday we can get it done against Pittsburgh,” Agnew said. OSU is scheduled to take on Pittsburgh Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Columbus.
Eran Hami Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu
In a night that saw a career milestone for Ohio State coach Lori Walker, it was two players just starting their careers that took the spotlight. Second-half goals from freshmen forwards Nichelle Prince and Lindsay Agnew helped No. 23 OSU defeat Morehead State, 3-2 in its regular season opener Friday night at the Bert L. and Iris S. Wolstein Field at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. “We are in our 20th year as a program and I’ve been here for (17) of them, and it’s a pretty special feeling to know the milestone,” Walker said about earning her 200th victory as coach. Although the Buckeyes held an 18-5 advantage in shots for the game, it was not until the 85th minute that they took their first lead of the night. Agnew put OSU ahead for good off a ball from sophomore forward Michela Paradiso. “I went sprinting across, slashing, and (Paradiso) just found the perfect ball, and then I just tried to find the inside of the net,” Agnew said about her late goal. Morehead State junior forward Macy Cobb tried her best to spoil Walker’s historic night, as her two goals in the 14th and 58th minutes put the Eagles in the lead on both occasions. Those leads did not last long, though, as OSU was quick to answer each of those goals. Senior midfielder Kristen Niederhaus got the Buckeyes on the board in the 27th minute, and Prince’s goal in the 67th minute evened the score at two. “To have a couple of freshman that have the explosive power and explosive speed that Agnew and Prince have, it’s pretty special,” Walker said. Prince also added an assist on Agnew’s game-winning goal late, and said she felt good about the win in her first match as a Buckeye. “It felt really good. I committed (to OSU) when I was in grade 10… and I’ve been anticipating this moment forever,” Prince said. She also spoke about her coach’s 200th win. “I’m so glad to be a part of that win, and I know there (are) going to be many more to come.”
WRs from 1B “As an older guy, I take it upon myself to make sure that they know what they’re doing,” Spencer said. “I try to pride myself and make sure that they know what they’re doing all the time so they can go 100 percent.” Known as a big play receiver last year when he averaged 20.6 yards per catch, Devin Smith is hoping to have a big year with Miller throwing him the ball. “We talked all summer, trained all summer, we know where he’s going to place the ball, how I’m going to run my route and things like that,” Smith said about his relationship with Miller. “So it’s all about timing and we certainly got that down.” Spencer likes what he sees out of his fellow receivers, and said the offense is starting to come together.
“Devin is running great routes with good speed and getting hands off, and Philly (is) explosive as always,” Spencer said. “It’s just good to see it’s all coming along.” Zach Smith is looking for his guys to have a big year, and help Miller improve on the weak passing numbers from last season. “Every guy that we’re counting on, every guy that we think is gonna be a contributing factor in our offense is capable and has shown the capability to be a dominate player,” Zach Smith said. “At least a good, functional player. We just need to see that consistently from every rep from every guy that we’re counting on.”
