All eyes on J.T. Barrett for season opener TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu When No. 5 Ohio State takes the field to kickoff the 2014 season, all eyes will be on No. 16. The Buckeyes are scheduled to play the Navy Midshipmen on Saturday at noon with redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett under center for the first time in his OSU career. Barring any unexpected changes, he will be the first freshman to start a season opener for the Buckeyes since Art Schlichter did so in 1978. Even senior quarterback Braxton Miller, whose season-ending shoulder injury paved the way for Barrett to begin his OSU legacy, didn’t start until the fourth game of his freshman season against Colorado. OSU co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said he feels great about the team’s quarterback situation going into week one. “I’m very confident,” Herman said Wednesday. “J.T. has had an excellent camp. Cardale actually has had probably his best week as a Buckeye this week.” But regardless of Jones’ success in practice, OSU coach Urban Meyer said there is no set plan to bring the backup quarterback into the game against Navy. Herman added that he doesn’t expect either Barrett or Jones to be a Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year quite yet. While Saturday’s game will mark the start of Barrett’s career at OSU, seniors on the team will be heading into their last season to cement their places in school history. One senior, defensive lineman Michael Bennett, said he wants to go out having achieved everything he planned to do as a Buckeye. “We really want to do this the right way this year and get everything that we came for,” he said. “The younger guys really want to do that for the seniors and the seniors want to do that for each other.” Without Miller, OSU players and coaches have often talked about the plethora of playmakers surrounding Barrett on offense. While having depth on the team can be a good thing, it has left Meyer with a few big decisions to make when it comes to his Week 1 lineup. On Aug. 25, Meyer said continuing to have position battles with the season opener just days away can be a bad thing, but only if the players aren’t good. “If they’re bad players, you got a problem,” Meyer said. “If they’re really good players and they’re just battling and

Roughly a month after being fired, former Ohio State Marching Band director Jonathan Waters asked OSU to help him clear his name. But OSU released a statement Wednesday saying it’s time for him to move on. Waters’ attorney David Axelrod requested that OSU facilitate a nameclearing hearing for Waters on university property in a two-page letter addressed to OSU counsel Wednesday. He asked for the university to provide a public venue for the event where Waters could call university officials as witnesses. Axelrod said the U.S. Constitution makes OSU obligated to help clear Waters’ name after he was fired without a chance to defend himself. He referred to a court ruling that said a person’s reputation is among the liberty interests protected by the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, which says states cannot deny anyone “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The university, however, denied Axelrod’s request in a statement released by OSU spokesman Chris Davey about two hours after Axelrod released his letter. “We will not be revisiting this decision. It is closed, and it is time to move on,” Davey’s statement read. Waters was fired July 24
after a two-month investigation into the band found a culture conducive to sexual harassment. It was determined Waters was aware or reasonably should have been aware of that culture and did not do enough to change it. Even though some current and former band members have since come forward saying the final report is at odds with their experience, Davey said basic facts — including charges of sexual nicknames, rookie introductions and alcohol abuse, among others — “are not refuted by anyone.” Axelrod said, however, OSU is only interested in hearing one side of the story. “Ohio State has attacked and tarnished Jon’s reputation and all he asks for is an opportunity to respond and defend himself,” Axelrod told The Lantern shortly after Davey’s statement was released. “Apparently, OSU is not interested in fairness.” Waters said in a Tuesday interview with The Lantern that he had not decided whether he’d sue OSU. Still, Axelrod said if and when Waters pursues legal action, Davey’s response will be part of the litigation. “It’s not a decision that’s going to be made today,” Axelrod said. “We’re waiting for the time we think is right to make that decision. (Waters) wants to ensure himself that he has exhausted all possibility of getting his job back for his litigation.” But it seems that Waters might be running out of
options, considering the university’s quick, specific reply to Axelrod’s letter Wednesday and taking into account that both President Michael Drake and OSU Board of Trustees Chair Jeffrey Wadsworth previously denied further consideration. And if Waters does sue, Drake has said the university will be prepared. The search process for a new director is currently under way. A search committee of students, faculty, staff and alumni will look for a new director, with that individual expected to be named within four to six months. In the meantime, OSU named two interim directors for the 2014-15 season. University Bands director Russel Mikkelson and associate director Scott Jones will lead the band until a permanent director is selected. A second investigation into the band’s culture is also under way. That investigation, which is planned to be completed by early October, is being led by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery and is reporting to Drake and the Board. It will assess the band culture, review OSU administrative processes and oversight and counsel the university on Title IX compliance issues. Title IX is a section of the Education Amendments of 1972 that aims to protect against discrimination based on sex in education programs that receive federal funding.

LOGAN HICKMAN Campus editor hickman.201@osu.edu After weeks of back-and-forth allegations between Ohio State and ousted marching band director Jonathan Waters, there seems to be disagreement about how hard the university pushed to change a “sexualized” culture within the band prior to Waters’ firing. For one, records and interviews indicate former Title IX coordinator Andrea Goldblum and compliance chief Gates Garrity-Rokous didn’t agree on what actually happened during a meeting they had with Waters to address a sexual harassment complaint within the band. Title IX is a section of the Education Amendments of 1972 that aims to protect against discrimination based on sex in education programs that receive federal funding. Garrity-Rokous, Goldblum — who resigned in December — and Waters met in spring 2013 after allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct in the band surfaced. While all parties have since agreed on what spurred that meeting, each seems to have a different perspective on what actually happened when they were together. The meeting was scheduled to ensure Waters understood his Title IX responsibilities in light of an allegation of sexual misconduct within the OSU Athletic Band, Garrity-Rokous said in a statement emailed to The Lantern Wednesday by OSU spokesman Chris Davey. Garrity-Rokous said he was at the meeting to ensure Waters understood he had to listen to Goldblum’s direction. “The very purpose of the meeting was to support Ms. Goldblum, as the Title IX coordinator, in ensuring that Title IX requirements were followed,” Garrity-Rokous said. Goldblum, however, said Garrity-Rokous constantly spoke over her during the meeting, preventing any real Title IX progress from happening. That kind of behavior was common for Garrity-Rokous, she said. “I started to ask questions to get down into figuring out what had happened from their (band director’s) perspective, why it had happened and to start investigating. That’s why I was there,” Goldblum told The Lantern. “Gates just spoke over me and wouldn’t allow me to continue.” After the meeting, Goldblum said GarrityRokous spoke down to her and told her she had been too aggressive. “Gates said to me in a very condescending tone, ‘Andrea, you’ve never been a federal prosecutor like I was, so you don’t understand how to do these things,’” she said.

5 underage offenses reported in one week MICHELE THEODORE Managing editor for content theodore.13@osu.edu Classes are back in session and students have moved back on campus, but it hasn’t been a happy homecoming for everyone. There were five reports of offenses involving underage persons reported this week between Aug. 19 and Wednesday afternoon. “Offenses involving underage persons” refer to people under 21 years old buying or consuming alcohol.
Ohio law states “no person shall sell beer or intoxicating liquor to an underage person, shall buy beer or intoxicating liquor for an underage person, or shall furnish it to an underage person.” The first offense occurred on Aug. 21 at about 2 a.m. on the Oval. An officer who was on patrol saw two men and a woman walking west and stopped to watch their progress, according to a University Police report. But the three stopped walking in the direction they had been going, so the officer went to look for them. He found them sitting in the grass outside of Derby Hall and they all got up when they saw the
officer’s cruiser. The female ran away from the officer, but the two men stayed to talk with him. Both men admitted that they had been drinking at a bar on High Street, and one of them admitted to being underage. He gave the officer his fake ID, according to the report. The officer also advised other University Police members to look for the woman who ran away. They found her east of Derby Hall and the first officer went to speak with her. After talking with her, he found out that she was 21, but ran away from the police because

campus Summer crime news: 2 public safety notices, 2 fires reported michele theodore Managing editor for content theodore.13@osu.edu It’s easy to get lost in numbers. There were about 310 reports of theft this summer on Ohio State’s campus, 15 reports of assault and four reports of robbery. But what does that mean? It means that in the span of this summer — from April 30 through Tuesday — there were about 2½ thefts every day. It means 15 people told police that they were violated in some way — and many of those reports came from the Wexner Medical Center. And it means that two public safety notices were sent over the course of the summer because there were crimes that were considered to be of a “concern and/or continuing threat to the campus community,” according to the notices. Here is a recap of this summer’s crime and a look at what’s been reported so far this academic year. Public safety notices The two public safety notices issued this summer were both for reports of robberies. The first notice was issued May 24 after three robberies were reported within three hours of one another. The incidents ranged from the corner of West 17th Avenue and College Road, to the South Oval, to the corner of East 13th Avenue and North Pearl Street, and the alleged robberies took place between 11 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. Another public safety notice was issued June 14 after an alleged robbery in front of Apollo’s Greek Kitchen on High Street in the early morning hours. When public safety notices are issued, it doesn’t mean there was an increase in crime or that a crime pattern exists, according to the notices. There have been at least three other public safety notices issued so far in 2014. Those notices were issued for a reported rape in a residence hall in February and two notices were for an armed robbery and attempted armed robbery in March and April, respectively.
Fires There were two fires reported on campus this summer. The first incident occurred on June 7 at Scott Laboratory. A student told officials that he had been working on a project involving a vehicle engine. The engine had sparked and ignited nearby plywood, according to a University Police report. Smoke filled the hallway, but damage was contained to the plywood. The second fire was at a residence hall Aug. 15. The fire started between the second and third floors of Neilwood Gables and was apparently fed by a gas leak. There were no injuries and the extent of the damages was unclear at the time. Other crimes A staff member reported disorderly conduct after a woman got into a car, mistakenly thinking it was a taxi, and fell asleep in the back seat. The woman was suspected of using alcohol and jumped into a small white sedan on May 18 at about 2 a.m., according to a University Police report. The driver was an off-duty bus driver for the Central Ohio Transit Authority and tried to tell the woman that his car was not a taxi, but she told him she needed to go to campus and fell asleep. The driver took her from the Short North area to 12th Avenue and High Street, where he saw an officer in a police cruiser and explained the situation. The officer woke the woman, took her home and delivered her to her sober friend, according to the report. An OSU student stabbed another OSU student during a dispute over the victim’s dog. Zheng Chen, a 22-year-old finance major, told Columbus Police he was stabbed by Austin Farley, a 20-year-old economics major, at an off-campus apartment Aug. 13. The stabbing occurred outside Farley’s apartment at 22 E. 12th Ave. just before 11 p.m., according to the report. Farley was arrested and charged with felonious assault. Three Ohio State students were arrested June 1 for an alleged burglary of a Delaware County residence and the theft of a vehicle,

Board of Trustees to discuss Title IX program Daniel bendtsten Asst. Arts editor bendtsten.1@osu.edu The Ohio State Board of Trustees is slated to meet this week to vote on topics including a review of the university’s compliance with federal regulations. The Audit and Compliance Committee expressed particular concern over its Title IX program, which it says is at “high risk” according to the meeting agenda. Former marching band director Jonathan Waters was fired July 24 following a two-month university investigation that found the band contained a sexualized culture and that Waters had not done enough to stop it. The Board agenda lists particular concern over the risk of potential litigation or reputational harm. The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is currently conducting a four-year compliance review of OSU’s Title IX program. The agenda also says there are ongoing negotiations with the office over a proposed resolution agreement. The Board is also set to review the university’s status after the Fiscal Year 2014 and make budgetary and investment plans for FY 2015. The biggest financial changes will come from reallocation of the university’s long-term investment pool. That pool beat its expectation of approximately 11 percent, receiving a return of about 13 percent, with a return of 21 percent in its global equity markets. In response to market changes, chief financial officer Geoff Chatas is set to ask the Finance Committee to reallocate its assets, including eliminating investments in private capital while increasing the percentage of assets in global equities. Those assets are now set to comprise 40 to 80 percent of its total long-term investments, up from the previous range of 10 to 50 percent. The university’s financial revenue has also been positive in its “But For Ohio State Campaign.” The fundraising campaign, which began in 2012, aims to raise $2.5 billion by 2016. The university goal at the end of FY14 was to raise $1.83 billion, and it has raised more than $1.97 billion.
Fundraising in that campaign is earmarked for specific areas, some of which are currently far short of their targets. Though fundraising for faculty and research far surpassed their target, the targets for modernizing classrooms, student-focused dollars, and an initiative to “drive high-impact innovation” are currently behind. “Drive high-impact innovation” and modernization of learning environments were each about $100 million short of their goals of more than $300 million. Along with analysis of its financial status, the board is set make personnel changes to its own committees. After the expiration in July of Robert Schottenstein and Alan Brass’s trustee seats, lawyer and philanthropist Abigail Wexner and Alex Fischer, president and CEO of Columbus Partnership, were both appointed to the Board. Wexner and Fischer are both to be appointed to seats on the Advancement Committee Friday. Additionally, Fischer is set to be appointed to the Finance Committee and Wexner is set to join the Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee, as well as the Wexner Medical Center Board.

among other pending charges. They were also charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and with underage drinking. Following a day at the Memorial Tournament, the three suspects entered the Dublin, Ohio, home located on Tartan Fields Drive around 3 a.m. through a garage, and the homeowners heard noises.

battling and battling, it means they’re both going to play.” The team released its official depth chart Wednesday afternoon, but it brought little clarity to who exactly will be on the field for the first play against Navy. Many positions listed one player “or” another as the starter, but Barrett was officially named the starting quarterback. While he is expected to be the first freshman quarterback to start an opening game for OSU since the 1970s, he’ll be the first signal-caller of any age to take the team’s first snap of the season outside of Ohio Stadium since 1999. That season opener 15 years ago took place at the old New York Giants’ stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and saw the Buckeyes lose to Miami, 23-12. It also marked the last time OSU lost a season opener, regardless of venue. Just like in 1999, the 2014 season opener is scheduled to take place at an NFL stadium, meaning it won’t quite be a home game for the Midshipmen or the Buckeyes. The game is set to take place at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, home of the Baltimore Ravens. Senior wide receiver Evan Spencer said Monday it’s always an adjustment to play away from home, but the team has a simple plan in mind going in. “It’ll be a little bit different in terms of the facilities and the locker rooms, et cetera,” he said. “But at the end of the day, we’ve still got to go out there and play a game. “There’s four quarters to be played and no matter what stadium we’re in, we’ve got to go in and dominate.” Bennett said the team won’t prepare much differently for the neutral-site game in Baltimore, but he had a good idea of what color he expects to see dominate the stands. “I remember what the crowd was like in (California) last year, so I would assume it’s going to be a lot of scarlet and gray,” he said.
she had been cited twice before for underage consumption and had bad experiences with officers in the past. All three were released with warnings. There were three reports of underage offenses in the early morning hours on Sunday — the day after students moved in on campus. The first was at the 11th Avenue Parking Garage at about 12:30 a.m., and a 19-year-old male student was arrested. He was suspected of using alcohol and had minor visible injuries on his chin and right forearm. The next incident was about an hour later at the Ohio Union, and two male students — ages 18 and 19 — were
When OSU played the University of California in Berkeley last season, about half the stadium appeared to be wearing Buckeye colors. Spencer also addressed the Midshipmen as a team, and noted their discipline on the field. Navy finished best in the NCAA last season with just 34 penalties committed. The team has been in the top three in the nation for least penalties every year since 2007. Offensively, Navy runs an uncommon tripleoption offense, which Spencer said his high school team ran as well. “It’s kind of a pain in the butt because they’ve got 300 fakes before they give the ball to somebody,” he said. “But defensively, I mean, we’ve been watching a lot of film, we’ve got a really good game plan going into the game and I really believe that we’ll shine that game and get out there and have some fun again.” Senior linebacker Curtis Grant said playing a team like Navy will be different than any other game this season, and might require a little extra effort. “I’m just going to say it’s a lot of running involved,” Grant said. “It’s not like the normal pro (style) team where you just go fill all the gaps. Everybody has a different responsibility.” Grant said instead of ball-watching, each defensive player is assigned to a particular player on offense when taking on a triple-option attack. In order to slow down the Navy offense, the key for OSU might be finding a way to stop junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who rushed for 1,346 yards and tied for best in the nation with 31 rushing touchdowns. Those touchdowns helped him to finish the year fourth in the NCAA with 15.7 points scored per game. “The Navy coaches and some people I’ve talked to think that (Reynolds) is the best that they’ve ever had, which, that tells you, takes your breath away a little bit,” Meyer said Monday. The last time the Buckeyes took on Navy — to open the 2009 season — the two teams played to a 31-27 OSU victory that involved a key interception return on a two-point attempt by Navy late in the game. OSU co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell said the coaching staff showed a clip of the interception return by Brian Rolle to the team on Wednesday. He told them the 2009 Buckeyes ended up winning the Rose Bowl against Oregon after that scare against Navy. “I also reminded them how we ended up finishing that year,” Fickell said. “We were a pretty good team, both offensively, defensively and as a whole.” After the matchup with Navy, OSU is scheduled to head back to Columbus for a three-game homestand. The Buckeyes are set to play their first game at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 6 against Virginia Tech at 8 p.m.
arrested. They had two cans of Natural Light that were taken by the police for evidence. The third incident on Sunday morning occurred at about 2 a.m. at the Ross Heart Hospital, part of the OSU Wexner Medical Center. A 19-year-old man was arrested and a credit card and fake ID were seized. The last incident involving underage persons took place Monday at about 1 a.m. An officer approached an 18-year-old female student who was lying on a bench near Bradley Hall and appeared to be passed out, according to a police report. When the officer approached the student, she sat up right away and said she thought the bench was a good place for a nap. She didn’t have her keys, BuckID or shoes with her and she said she is “comfortable walking barefoot.” She had an alcoholic odor on her breath and said she had been drinking, but she didn’t know what she drank or how much, according to the report. She had been walked home by two other people who were worried about her and the officer cautioned her to be more careful in the future.
Meeting from 1A But Garrity-Rokous said those weren’t his words. “I did not use the quoted language, and my tone was consistent with my intent to help her improve her effectiveness in her new role,” he said. And Waters said Tuesday he remembered the meeting as more of a meet-and-greet with Garrity-Rokous and Goldblum, rather than a chance to address any major sexual harassment concerns. “The meeting with Gates, it was like, ‘We’re here, we have a compliance office, let us know if you need anything,’” Waters said. “There were no directives given in that meeting, there was no training offer, there was no anything. It was more of just a formal introductory meeting.” Waters said his interaction with the OSU’s Office of Compliance and Integrity prior to his firing was minimal with little guidance. “If I wanted training for the band, I sought it. If I wanted training for the leaders, I sought it. If I wanted to know who to report an issue to, I sought it. No one from compliance taught me how to do these things,” Waters said. “We were left to fend for ourselves with the rules and regulations the compliance office had.” Garrity-Rokous said Waters never informed the compliance office of any instances of the band’s sexualized culture that were found in the OSU

A male student reported an assault in Lincoln Tower on Friday at about 8 p.m. He said his roommate poured water in his ear while he was sleeping and then punched and kicked him several times in the face. The roommate then locked himself in the room he shares with the first male student, who could hear his roommate throwing things around. The first student called the police and his roommate told police that he had a stressful day. In other crime news, a female not affiliated with the university reported disorderly conduct after she saw a male student grab a trashcan and throw it on the sidewalk during Buck-i-Frenzy. When the woman tried to speak with the student, he was belligerent and visibly upset, according to a police report. When an officer arrived, he saw the student thrust his body at two female students and blow smoke in their faces. The officer asked the student to stop and when he tried to pull away, he detained the student. The student calmed down and said he was upset with all the people trying to sell him things at Buck-i-Frenzy. There were 20 reports of theft between Aug. 19 and Wednesday.
investigation the following year. That investigation report was what led to his firing July 24, and it listed examples of issues like sexualized nicknames, mistreatment of younger band members and inappropriate behavior on band buses. Goldblum said instances like the meeting with Waters and other internal problems within the Office of Compliance and Integrity — where her position was based — prevented her from executing proper Title IX reform within the band and across the university. Earlier this year, a third-party attorney was assigned by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to investigate complaints of gender and disability discrimination made by Goldblum. An investigative report based on those complaints concluded there was insufficient evidence to support Goldblum’s claims. The Lantern obtained that investigation report Wednesday to fill a public records request filed Monday. The Lantern has not received Garrity-Rokous’ employment file after initially requesting it on Aug. 14 or Goldblum’s employment file after requesting it Friday. Waters was fired because the report found he was aware, or reasonably should have been aware, of that culture but didn’t do enough to change it. This is part two of a two-part series The Lantern is running about how the band investigation was handled and how the Office of Compliance and Integrity operates.

Fashion runway used to break chains World of Beer set to open near campus
amanda etchison Senior Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu Abolitionists taking a stand against human trafficking have a new platform where they promote their cause — the runway. Unchained, a local organization that presents educational fashion shows detailing the life journey of a human trafficking survivor, is set to be a part of the first Fashion Meets Music Festival in Columbus Sunday. “(Unchained) is truly a great component that we’re bringing into the festival,” said Melissa Dickson, FMMF spokeswoman. “What they do and what they represent, we truly support, and we are really excited to incorporate them into the show.” The Labor Day weekend fashion show will mark Unchained’s sixth show since its formation in February 2013. “(Unchained) actually started because we were all working at New Life, a church on Ohio State’s campus,” said Stephanie Catani, co-founder and creative director of Unchained, as well as an OSU alumna. “Our students had gone to a conference that talked a lot about human trafficking, and they wanted to do something to really highlight the issue.” The students decided to organize a fashion show, which they presented at the Ohio Union in May 2013, Catani said. “After the show, there were people asking (about) the next show,” she said. “So that helped us to know that people actually wanted to be a part of this — that this could be something bigger than a one-time show.” The show features garments selected from an Amani Africa collection called “Sankofa,” which means “looking back but moving forward,” according to Unchained’s website. Amani Africa sells clothing as a “fair trade sewing and economic development program for marginalized women in Africa,” according to its website. The collection was designed by Liberian designer Korto Momolu, who competed on Season 5 of Bravo’s “Project Runway” and has had designs featured during New York

Fashion Week, according to the Unchained website. During the Unchained show, Momolu’s designs are accompanied by a narration that leads audiences through the life stages of a human trafficking survivor, Catani said. “These garments reflect a portion of a journey,” she said. “There is a very literal correlation between the fashion and the experience — the journey — of the survivor.” Each Unchained fashion show features 22 garments and is divided onto three stages, Catani said. “The first section of the narration and garments is called ‘Innocence,’ and the garments are in neutrals: gold, white and pink,” she said, because Unchained relies on the symbolism of both the color and style of the garments to guide guests on an emotional journey. “Once abuse has entered into
the survivor’s life, that’s called ‘Violation,’” she said of the second stage of the Unchained program. “‘Violation’ is dark reds, browns, burnt oranges and heavy black. Also, they are pretty avant-garde pieces. It is really an emotive response to the trauma.” The show concludes with the final stage, “Restoration.” “When rescue comes, there is restoration,” Catani said. “And it is the brightest colors you have ever seen. It is so dramatically and drastically different from ‘Violation.’ It’s hopeful, it’s life-giving, it’s vibrancy coming to life again after pain.” The Unchained team worked to accurately portray the journey by carefully researching the common themes in survivors’ stories, Catani said. “We went to the collection and organized it to really reflect the story of a survivor’s journey,” she said.
Catani said the issue of human trafficking is far from foriegn to the Columbus area, and she said she hopes that Unchained’s story — which was inspired by a Central Ohio human trafficking survivor’s journey — encourages audiences to take action against this contemporary social issue. “I hope the audience believes there is something they can do about (human trafficking),” she said. “On the whole, people know that this is a heavy topic. And sometimes they are worried that they will walk away with a heaviness or a heavy feeling, but it is really our passion to ignite abolitionists, and to do that, we really give that very purposeful voice of rescue and restoration.” FMMF runs from Friday to Sunday. The majority of FMMF is free to attend, but packages start at $99 for one-day and $250 for three-day VIP packages. An after-party badge, good for all three days of the festival, is available for $35. VIP passes and afterparty badges are available for purchase on the FMMF website.
An upcoming addition to High Street might get the South Campus Gateway buzzing again. The new World of Beer — “an open air beer garden” offering more than 500 craft selections in bottles, a draft menu and tavern fare — is slated to take residence in the South Campus Gateway in March, according to a news release from World of Beer Franchising Inc. and New Tap Gateway LLC. The 4,113-square-foot location with patio will be the third World of Beer location in Columbus, with others located in the Brewery District and Easton Town Center. The tavern’s announcement comes roughly a year after a string of closings within the South Campus Gateway. The Gateway is a subtenant of Campus Partners, which is a private, nonprofit corporation that works on community planning in the campus area alongside OSU and the city of Columbus. Kildare’s Irish Pub closed its location at 1576 N. High St. during the summer of 2013; Charlie Bear: Land of Dance announced its relocation from 1562 N. High St. in late October; and Finish Line closed its location at 1624 N. High Street in January. Gooeyz owners Lanne and Dave Bennett — who closed their grilled cheeseconcept restaurant at 1554 N. High St. in November and moved to Woodland’s Backyard at 668 Grandview Ave. — told The Lantern in March that deficiencies with their space in the Gateway, discord with management and dissipating foot traffic in the area led to their decision to leave. Since February, a few new tenants have moved in — Oxley’s Tavern & Grillery and apparel-store Devoted. Mark Pottschmidt of New Tap Gateway said he thinks World of Beer will add to the environment. “The introduction of an open air beer garden at the South Campus Gateway will be a game changer not only for (World of Beer) but for the entire neighborhood surrounding the OSU campus,” Pottschmidt said in a released statement. World of Beer Franchising and New Tap Gateway signed a 10-year lease with Campus Partners, a deal expected to close within 30 days, according to the release.
album review
Sophomore effort bogged down by outside voices
Columbus’ Own
In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that will profile a new Columbus band every week.
Ensemble steps out of comfort zone for a Collective Reaction KAT Niu Lantern reporter niu.57@osu.edu The term “college band,” might bring images of a garage rock band to mind. Columbus band Collective Reaction, however, aims to break the mold with their modern jazz and funk sound. Ohio State alumnus Jason Deran and fifth-year in jazz studies Wes Perry founded the six-piece instrumental band in January and serve as its co-leaders. Perry said they play a genre that can be found running through other styles of music. “(Jazz) is becoming an integral part of every music out there today. There is some jazz influence whether you realize it or not, which is super cool,” Perry, who plays the saxophone, said. “To all those who say ‘jazz is dead,’ no, it’s not. How can something be dead if it’s in everything?” The group proved it’s not dead and released an album “Breaking Ground” on June 13. Deran and Perry each composed four songs for the album, which took only two days to record. Trumpeter Deran said the two take control over their respective compositions, so there is not too much leadership overlap. Deran said the band entered the studio with the composition ready and recorded everything live.
Thursday August 28, 2014
“Live recording is very important in jazz. The interaction and connection between the members of the band is what is most important. The live connection all at once just can’t be replaced with individual tracking,” Deran said. Drummer Brian Ellerman, a fourth-year in jazz studies, said he sees jazz as a conversation. “We will all complement what the other is playing and give our own ideas,” he said. He said the controlled improvisation of the rhythmic section, which includes bass, drums and keys, allows the soloist to shine. Mark Rubinstein, a Grammynominated audio engineer mixed “Breaking Ground” for Collective Reaction. “They work extraordinarily well together and are very autonomous,” Rubinstein said. “I’ll set them up and leave them alone so they can run their session, and they work magically.” Rubinstein credits the success of the band to its ability to have fun while maintaining high work ethic. “(When they are recording) they are disciplined and have a great time at the same time, which is not easy to do,” he said. Working together as a band seems to have taught its members crucial skills that benefit both within and outside of music. “Ohio State doesn’t offer this kind of hands on, being a leader, sort of experience,” Perry said. “In the band setting, every member

Wes Perry (left) and Jason Deran founded the six-piece band Collective Reaction. of the band is making the final decisions.” Ellerman said playing with Collective Reaction has pushed him outside of his comfort zone as a musician. He said he has learned a lot from watching the leadership of Deran and Perry. “Coming from a backseat perspective, to be led by your peers, it’s really easy to work with,” he said. Even though band members are not all in the same city, they find time to compose and play shows together, though the membership isn’t always consistent.
“People come and go all the time. It’s both refreshing and frustrating,” Ellerman said. The uncertainty of their situation is something that Ellerman said makes it hard to make long-term plans, so they instead focusing on the present. “Who knows where we will be in a year?” he said. “We will see what the future holds for us.” Collective Reaction is set to host its album release party at Brothers Drake Meadery & Bar at 26 E. 5th Ave. on Sept. 18 at 9 p.m. The show is free and open to all ages.
It’s not always a smooth transition from Nickelodeon star to pop princess, but Ariana Grande mastered it with her first album, 2013’s “Yours Truly.” Almost exactly a year later, she cemented her place in pop music and attempted to shed her child star image with “My Everything.” She is commonly referred to as a young Mariah Carey, and that is exactly who I thought I was listening to in the album’s intro. The vocals are very angelic and breathy, reminiscent of Carey for sure. Do not fear, though — Grande clears the confusion quick, starting with “Problem,” featuring Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea. This relationship-bashing, girl’s anthem has peaked at No. 2 on the “Billboard” Hot 100, becoming Grande’s most successful single so far. But “Problem,” like the album’s intro, is again no indication of the songs to follow. This album is full of emotionally-driven songs. Read the rest of this article

studentvoice While at OSU, Accept an internship far from comfort zone spend a summer in Columbus Caitlin Essig For The Lantern essig.21@osu.edu
Lantern Columnist
The thing about college is it’s finite. We’re only here at Ohio State for so long before we graduate or leave, moving onto new jobs, new cities and new adventures. For those of you who have come to OSU as LIZ YOUNG a freshman in the Editor-in-chief last three years, young.1693@osu.edu you know that OSU practices a sort of partnership with Columbus, shown off after Convocation with the Columbus Welcome event. You know Columbus is a major metropolitan city with a wealth of opportunities, entertainment-wise and career-wise. But you’re a college student — you have class obligations, work obligations and social obligations, most of which are likely in the University District area. How much can you take advantage of those opportunities when you’re swimming in commitments? That’s why you should spend at least one summer of your four (or less, or more) years at OSU in Columbus, whether that be taking classes, working or interning. This summer, I was a business news intern at The Columbus Dispatch. I had the opportunity to write business news stories ranging from a profile about a local granola company to a feature about area apartment-rent trends. I loved it, and I learned a lot about what I want to do in the future from it. And I also got to see Columbus for all that it is. I headed to Columbus Commons to get lunch at the food trucks there on Thursdays during the summer. I covered ComFest (Community Festival) and kayaked on the Olentangy River. I visited festivals and markets downtown during my breaks and for work itself. When I wasn’t working, I visited exhibits at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library, read on the Oval and walked around a nearly empty campus. I went to festivals around the city — the Dublin Irish Festival, the Ohio State Fair and the Columbus Arts Festival. I loved getting to see and experience this city for all that it is, which is a vibrant community with its own personality and its own quirks, and I know I didn’t even do a fraction of everything that Columbus offers. There really is so much to do here, and I think everyone should get the chance to see that. So while you’re at OSU, spend a summer here, and you’ll see what I mean.
I said “yes” to accept an offer for a fellowship this summer nearly 2,000 miles away in Phoenix because there was no other answer to that question. At least there wasn’t for me. At 21, the furthest west I’d been was Wisconsin. And that was mostly because the opportunity to treavel never presented itself — I grew up in Ohio where there are great universities like Ohio State, and there’s no reason to pay out-of-state tuition. My family always vacationed on the East Coast, and my extended family dots the map in either Ohio or southern states. Growing up, the West never beckoned to my family, nor did it seem accessible to me. Needless to say, moving to Arizona for 10 weeks was a completely new adventure. When I look back on my experience there, the people I met, the places I visited and adventures I took, the things I learned about the world around me as well as myself, it’s hard to sum up exactly how much it meant to me. To put it as simply as I can, I am a different person than I was when I left, and I can happily thank the decision to try something new for that. Here are some lessons I learned from my summer 2,000 miles away from my comfort zone.
1. There are good people everywhere. This is one of the most important things I learned this summer. It wasn’t so much a new lesson, but more of what I’ve seen through high school and college, and it was fantastic that it held true in a place where I knew no one. My summer would’ve been pretty dull if I didn’t take advantage of getting to know the other students and recent graduates in my program at The Arizona Republic. There were 15 of us, and by working on the same desk, living in the same apartment and taking day trips together on the weekends, I grew close with many of them. It’s a
rare opportunity to get to know a new group of people so closely in such a short period of time, and I can’t stress enough how valuable it was to spend as much time with those people as possible. If you take an internship Courtesy of Caitlin Essig where there are Caitlin Essig, a fourth-year in journalism, sits at the Grand Canyon this summer. other interns in the company, beach and the beautiful red rocks what major to choose, which I definitely recommend living of Sedona, Ariz. classes to take and what organiwith them or at least hanging Ohio has sprawling acres of zations to join.

sports Depth from 9A “He just was so productive in the spring at running back, we kept him there,” Meyer said. “We are all anxious to see what he can do.” The success of the running backs weighs heavily on an offensive line that returns just one starter from last season. According to the depth chart, two spots on the line remain to be filled. Meyer named redshirt-senior Darryl Baldwin the starter at right tackle on Aug. 16, as Baldwin joined junior Taylor Decker (left tackle) and redshirt-sophomore Pat Elflein (right guard) as the only named starters across the line. Battles are ongoing for the left guard and center positions. Meyer again has co-starters listed at both positions as redshirt-freshman Billy Price and senior Joel Hale occupy the left guard spot, while junior Jacoby Boren and redshirt-senior Chad Lindsay occupy the center spot.
Navy from 9A
Although there are question marks on the depth chart, OSU offensive line coach Ed Warinner said that he has full confidence in his young unit. “I am satisfied with where we are at,” Warinner said. “We don’t have the same experience (as last year). We have a hungry offensive line, they are aggressive, they are well-trained, they are strong and they are ready to make their mark.” Despite saying Monday that six receivers had earned the right to play, Meyer has seniors Devin Smith and Evan Spencer listed as starters at the two wide receiver positions. In addition, sophomore H-back Dontre Wilson and redshirt-freshman H-back Jalin Marshall are listed as co-starters. Meyer said Monday Wilson and Marshall are part of a receivers corps that “all deserve playing time.” The Buckeyes are set to take on the Navy Midshipmen Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.
Soccer from 9A held it back in 2013, particularly goal-scoring. OSU was held to just 13 goals in the 18-game season. “I think we’re trying to make it more of an offense-by-committee, where we’re not relying on one person, and we’re not putting a lot of pressure on one person to score,” Mason said. “I think more so than last year, we have more ways we can try to score, and we’ve really been working on it. The coaches have made that a focal point in training, so I think we’ve definitely addressed that and we’re prepared to improve on last year’s offense.” Butler University, Canisius College from Buffalo, N.Y., and the University of California-Davis are scheduled to visit Columbus for the tournament. OSU is scheduled to play UC-Davis at 7:30 p.m. on Friday before taking on Butler at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. After the weekend, the Buckeyes are scheduled to play two games at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington Classic in Wilmington, N.C., on Sept. 5 and Sept. 7.
Field Hockey from 9A
5. Will four new starters on offensive line be able to protect Barrett? The Buckeye offense, which has produced 7,228 rushing yards — a 278 yards-per-game average — and 82 rushing touchdowns in two seasons under Urban Meyer, returns just one starter on the offensive line. That starter, junior Taylor Decker, has 14 career starts, all of which came last season. The rest of the offensive lineman have combined for just six starts. Redshirt-sophomore Pat Elflein impressed while filling in for Marcus Hall in games against Michigan and Michigan State last season, but the rest of the offensive line remains truly unproven. While Meyer named redshirt-senior Darryl Baldwin the starter at right tackle, the left guard and center positions are still up in the air. OSU’s week one depth chart lists redshirt-freshman Billy Price and senior Joel Hale as co-starters for the left guard spot while junior Jacoby Boren and redshirt-senior and Alabama transfer Chad Lindsay are listed as co-starters at center. Whoever the starters end up being, the offensive line will have to protect Barrett in his first career start if the Buckeye offense is to have success.

off the field to make sure they come together as a cohesive group. “Me and (junior back Emma Royce), my other captain, we were voted in hopefully because of our knowledge on the field and that’s what we want to focus on,” Wagner said. “Everything else we have (are) leadership roles. Taking care of freshmen, go to rides, making sure they have all their travel gear, making sure everyone’s in check and learning the way of OSU field hockey.” The Buckeyes face a Syracuse team Friday that went 16-4 in 2013, finishing No. 2 in the final National Field Hockey Coaches Association Poll. Wagner, who has started 59 consecutive games in her OSU career, said she believes Syracuse’s best trait is its ability to problem-solve.

Ohio State Depth Chart
Just days from the season opener, Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer released his first depth chart of the 2014 season, and while it answered some questions, it created others. The defensive line — arguably the most talented unit on the team — had an interesting note on the depth chart as senior defensive lineman and recently named team captain Michael Bennett is listed as a co-starter along with junior Tommy Schutt. Bennett, who has been named by some as a potential firstround draft pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, said he was “dinged up” during fall camp, which opened a door for Schutt. “At least for the first game, it’s more of a dual thing,” Bennett said of his co-starter status with Schutt. “I’ve said it before: Tommy could start anywhere else in the country. It is sort of a three-man rotation in the middle.” Even though he said he was banged up during fall camp, Bennett said he will be ready to go against Navy. “I am perfectly healthy now,” he said. “I took my time, came back and should be ready.” The cornerback position opposite senior Doran Grant was also too close to call, as redshirt-freshmen corners Eli Apple and Gareon Conley are listed as co-starters as well. Grant said he has seen both Apple and Conley mature during their time at OSU and added he has been assured of their abilities. “I am very confident in both of them,” Grant said.

5 storylines to watch against Navy OPINION
JAMES GREGA, JR. AND TIM MOODY Asst. Sports editor and Sports editor grega.9@osu.edu and moody.178@osu.edu With the Ohio State football team’s season opener just two days away, The Lantern sports editors picked five of the top storylines to watch for when the Buckeyes face-off with Navy. 1. Will redshirt-sophomore quarterback Cardale Jones see the field? When an OSU spokesman released the team’s week-one depth chart on Wednesday, it became 100 percent clear that coach Urban Meyer plans to start redshirt-freshman J.T. Barrett at quarterback. Barrett, who overtook Jones as the backup quarterback just days before senior Braxton Miller went down with a shoulder injury, has not played a meaningful snap since his senior year of high school. That senior year at Rider High School in Wichita Falls, Texas, was cut short by a torn ACL. Regardless of potential durability concerns, Barrett hasn’t separated himself from Jones enough to be confident of keeping his job. At the first sign of adversity, don’t be surprised if Jones is warming up on the sidelines. Meyer has even said he’s open to the idea of playing both signal-callers against the Midshipmen. 2. Can the OSU defense step up after dismal 2013? It’s been said before and it will be said again: the 2013 OSU defense did not play up to the “Silver Bullet” squads of years past. In lieu of dissecting the numbers for the thousandth — OK, maybe not that many — time, let’s just remember that a California Golden Bears squad that finished the season 1-11 posted 34 points against the Buckeyes on Sept. 14. Meyer has billed this year’s team as one of the fastest around, and that might need to be the case if OSU wants to rebound after getting

beat deep down the field numerous times last year. The test for week one against Navy won’t come against an average offense, which will force OSU to be even more prepared than it will need to be for arguably any other game this season. Navy runs an unusual triple-option offense and has had success with its gameplan against the Buckeyes before. The last time the two teams met, OSU survived, partially thanks to OSU’s Brian Rolle interception return for 2-points off Navy’s Ricky Dobbs’ pass back in
2009. OSU ended up winning the closer-thanexpected game, 31-27, to open the season. 3. Will OSU defense be able to slow down Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds? Even though defending the pass was an issue for the OSU defense in 2013, defending the run will likely be stressed week one as it faces a Navy team that averaged just 11 pass attempts per game last season. Despite the lack of passing production,

Thursday August 28, 2014
Already two exhibition games in, the Ohio State men’s soccer team is ready to start its regular season with two home games as part of the Bert and Iris Wolstein Classic. One player said the team is doing well so far and hoping to continue in the right direction. “Everyone came in (to the season) with the right mindset, the right commitment, and we pushed ourselves,” junior midfielder Zach Mason said. “I think we’re in the best shape since I’ve been here, and we’re starting to gel.” Redshirt-senior goalkeeper Alex Ivanov is expected to carry the bulk of the load between the nets this season after starting 16 games in 2013. He’s following up on a breakout season, in which he posted a 0.76 goals-allowed average, however, Ivanov said
he feels he can improve on that this year. “Just trying to improve on the consistency and get off to a great start, (those) are my key focuses right now,” Ivanov said. “I’m looking to get the rust off and get off to a good start, get that team bonding going on the field with good results.” The Buckeyes split their two exhibition games. They won the first at home against West Virginia, 2-1, on Aug. 17 before dropping the second to Marquette in Fort Wayne, Ind., 3-2 on Friday. Coach John Bluem, however, said he is not reading too much into the results of the exhibition matchups. “It was really just an opportunity to assess our own players,” Bluem said. “We weren’t necessarily looking to win the games, we wanted to just be able to evaluate our guys.” The Buckeyes’ went 5-8-4 season in 2013 that ended with a 2-0 loss against Michigan State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. Mason said he feels confident the team can improve on the factors that

Navy’s triple-option offense attack, led by junior quarterback Keenan Reynolds, is one of the most productive rushing offenses in the country. Reynolds broke the NCAA record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in 2013 as he racked up 31 rushing scores to go along with a team-leading 1,346 yards on the ground. Considered by some to be a Heisman Trophy dark horse, Reynolds still has proven that he can be a productive passer as he threw for 233 yards on 10 of 13 passing including two scores in a game against Delaware last season. 4. How disciplined will the Midshipmen be? In 2013, Navy committed 34 penalties. In comparison, the Buckeyes committed 73, but weren’t far off from the rest of the nation. The Midshipmen’s discipline was no fluke either, as they have been in the top three in the NCAA for least penalties committed since 2007. Navy was the most disciplined team in the nation in 2009 with 48 penalties committed, and again in 2011 when it committed just 28 penalties. In 2011, those 28 penalties put the Midshipmen 12 ahead of San Jose State, which finished second best in the country. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo’s ability to keep his team disciplined has been a big reason for its success in the past few seasons. As fast, athletic and generally talented as OSU is, they’ll also have to be disciplined this week because you can all but guarantee Navy won’t make more than a couple of mental errors.

Buckeye field hockey preps for No. 5 Syracuse AJ KING Lantern reporter lewis-king.1@osu.edu A team of new talent is about to head to the field for its first test. The Ohio State field hockey team is set to begin its season Friday at 3 p.m. at Buckeye Varsity Field against fifth-ranked Syracuse with 12 freshmen and one sophomore transfer on a team that finished 6-13 in 2013. OSU coach Anne Wilkinson said she believes the fresh faces can help improve the program. “It’s a challenge I like to have,” said Wilkinson, who is entering her 19th season at OSU. “They came in with some strong fitness and they’re really working hard to fit into our system.” Wilkinson said she asked a lot of her upperclassman to help bring their new teammates up to speed on the college game. Team co-captain and senior midfielder Kaitlyn Wagner said the upperclassmen have all taken on leadership roles
