Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta called the new $19 million basketball facility “something that’s been needed” for his program. The OSU Athletic Department officially opened the new gym at the Schottenstein Center Tuesday, even though it is not fully complete. Construction on the new facility began after the 2011-2012 season and it was built as an extension to the west side of the Schottenstein Center. It was not all that got a facelift, though, as the old practice courts were also replaced, along with the locker rooms. New shot clocks and bleachers were added as well. A lounge area is available for players on both the men’s and women’s squads, complete with a kitchen area and pingpong table. Players and coaches also have access to a team film room, where they have the option of sitting at brand-new desks as they study. Matta said is was “amazing” to see the finished product and thanked OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith and his staff for all that went into the project. “You gotta give Ohio State, Gene (Smith) and his staff and the people that raised the money and the people that designed it tremendous credit because it’s just a magnificent place,” Matta said. “In terms of the locker rooms, to the training room, to the new weight room, this gymnasium is amazing.” Initially, the project was going to cost OSU just $13 million, Smith said. After getting input from the coaches regarding what they wished to see be a part of the new facilities, however, the price tag went up. “It started at $13 (million) and it escalated to $19 (million) once I involved the coaches,” Smith said. “It went up to $19 (million), and it was the right thing to do.” Smith said the improvements would not have been possible had it not been for a series of external donors, many of whom are former players. “We’ve been blessed,” Smith said. “Michael

A new practice court at the Schottenstein Center. The new $19 million OSU basketball facilities were unveiled to the media Sept. 3. Redd stepped up and he helped us in a great way and we’ve had a lot of different donors that stepped up.” Redd, who played for the Buckeyes as a guard from 1997 to 2000, donated more money than any other donor, giving $500,000 toward the project. Matta said having former players get involved once they leave OSU is something that is a focus for him and his staff. “I think that is something that, from the outset, we wanted to try to build here is bring back our former players and getting them involved,” Matta said. “For those guys monetarily to contribute — Michael (Redd) has the largest gift ever given by an Ohio State athlete to the university at a half a million dollars.” Another player who has shown support for OSU is Ohioan and current Miami Heat star forward LeBron James, who has his own locker at the new facility. OSU has worn James’ “L23” logo since 2007, and was the first school to do so. Matta said

Some Ohio State students, many of whom had waited in line for hours for tickets to the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier, were shut out after dispersal was switched midday Tuesday to a lottery in favor of a first-come-first-served system. Police were called at about 2 p.m. to maintain order after an estimated 200 people lined up for tickets to the sold-out Sept. 10 game at Crew Stadium, an undisclosed number of which were being sold for $25 to students. U.S. Soccer received more than twice as many requests for tickets as could be accommodated in Crew Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 24,000, so a lottery was held for those tickets as well, according to NBC Sports ProSoccerTalk. Although students had been told by D-Tix, the university’s student ticket discount service, staff members they could start lining up at 2 p.m. for a 5 p.m. dispersal, the crowd started to form at 10 a.m. and continued to grow, some students in line said. “We got here at 10:45 and there was nobody else here. They said we got here early and we thought it was first-come-first-serve. And then (in the afternoon) there was a huge mob of people wanting tickets,” said Tim Ianni, a third-year in

political science. Others had a similar experience. “We got here by noon and they told us the line didn’t start until 2 p.m. so we went over to Subway to grab some food and when we got back it was crazy,” said Colin Marth, a secondyear in finance. The sheer mass of the crowd prompted D-Tix to then switch to the lottery system, which would close at 5:30 p.m., said Dave Isaacs, OSU spokesman for Student Life. “There was concern for safety, and it was becoming impossible to tell who was first… It was the best way to accommodate all people interested in the tickets, taking into account both safety and fairness,” Isaacs said. “There was ultimately no danger once the decision to make it a lottery was understood by all.” The OSU Police Division was called in, setting up speakers to communicate directions more clearly and clearing the group of students away from the counter in order to form a coherent line, said Max Taylor, a second-year in aerospace engineering. While the safety issue may have been resolved, not all students are convinced of the “fairness” regarding the change. Taylor said he had arrived at the Union at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, skipping both an engineering and writing class, but was later disappointed with the lottery decision.

The Campus Area Bus Service East Residential weekend service will continue through at last the end of Spring Semester, Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp announced at the USG committee meeting Tuesday night. The East Residential route runs buses from campus and circles the off-campus area east of High Street. The route runs as far south as 11th Avenue and as far north as Hudson Street with stops along 4th Street and Summit Street the bus hits every 30 minutes. The extended service is set to run Friday until 2 a.m. Saturday, and Saturday from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m. Sunday. The service went through a trial run during Spring Semester

Source: Reporting 2013 after Stepp’s administration approached the university with the idea as a way to improve student safety. Stepp said he got the idea from one of his opponents in the 2012 USG election, who had included it in his campaign platform. Once elected, Stepp had meetings with Beth Kelley-Snoke, director of Transportation & Traffic Management,

KAYLA ZAMARY / Design editor Jay Kasey, senior vice president of Administration and Planning and Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president of Student Life, who were all supportive of the program, he said. Stepp called the program a “tremendous success,” and said Transportation & Traffic Management and Student Safety Service representatives were both pleased with results of the trial period.

“This is going to be a fantastic way to be proactive about safety,” Stepp said. “A lot of what happens with these safety issues at Ohio State comes from students who are walking late on weekends back from parties or wherever they might be coming from. And it’s going to not only provide safety services on the bus but also a route to get home. I think it’s going to deter crime and make our campus safer.” While CABS did previously run buses east of High on weekdays, service on Fridays stopped at midnight and there was no service on Saturday. Stepp said USG provided roughly half the funds to start the service in the spring but said CABS is paying the whole bill this year. USG did not use student funds to pay for the service in the spring, instead using USG-earmarked yields from a Koch Industries endowment, Stepp said. “We predicted students would take advantage of the pilot program

campus MLK’s ‘vision,’ legacy leave impact on OSU students, faculty MADELYN GRANT Lantern reporter grant.382@osu.edu Though the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech passed last week, some on Ohio State’s campus are still reflecting on the its long-term effects on the university. On Aug. 28, 1963, King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of more than 200,000 civil rights supporters during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a rally intended to draw attention to the social and political challenges African-Americans were facing at the time. It was then that he delivered one of the most well-known speeches in American history. The director of the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, Lawrence Williamson Jr., said he believes King left a legacy that represents an ideal to work toward. “Dr. King and the civil rights movement helped Americans understand how to be proud without devaluing other communities,” Williamson said. Williamson, however, questioned whether or not Americans are taking full advantage of King’s message and the lessons he attempted to teach. “I think the question we really need to ask ourselves as a community, and a nation, is ‘Did we do the best we could with these opportunities we had and did we use them in accordance to

the way Dr. King wanted us to?’ After all, he gave his life for us to do so,” Williamson said. Some OSU students said there are further strides that could be made. “It is definitely a time of celebration and a time of reflection to see this is how far we’ve come but we still have room to grow,” said Anthony Perry, a second-year in public affairs. Mackensie Pfleger, a second-year in international studies, said OSU has come a long way in 50 years and senses this progress on campus. “I think being on a college campus with affirmative action and one that socially, it is not a big deal for people of different races to hang out or date, shows that as a culture we have come full circle,” Pfleger said. According to OSU undergraduate admission’s quick facts, the Autumn 2012 incoming freshman class was 4.3 percent AfricanAmerican. On a larger scale, African-American students made up 5.78 percent of the Autumn 2012 Columbus campus enrollment, according to the OSU Statistical Summary. Horace Newsum, the OSU Department of African-American and African Studies chair, hopes the focus moving forward is on King’s ultimate vision rather than the past. “I would hope that people would commit themselves to Martin King’s vision, which was about social justice, which was about racial equality, which was about peace and love. I don’t think Martin King would be encouraging us to engage in war with anybody,” Okafor-Newsum said.

More aid available to OSU veterans through new program RYAN GUENTHER Lantern reporter guenther.50@osu.edu

Ohio State recently partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs through the VetSuccess on Campus program in order to provide further assistance to military veterans who are making the transition to college life. VetSuccess on Campus aims to help veterans, current service members and qualified dependents to succeed in completing their educations and getting jobs after graduation, according to the program’s website. Some OSU students who are veterans said the program seems promising. Fourth-year in criminal justice Kyle Smith said the new program will give veterans who are students more of an opportunity to have “face time” with college representatives of the military. Smith, who is also a staff sergeant and crew chief in the United States Air Force, said although OSU has been helpful in general, the university could do more to assist veteran students.

Vets 4 Vets President Samantha Allen, a fourth-year in environmental policy and a former United States Marine, welcomes OSU bringing in a like-minded organization. Anything OSU does to help veterans complies with the mission statement of Vets 4 Vets, Allen said. VetSuccess on Campus began in 2009 at the University of South Florida and is expected to have developed sites at 94 different campuses by the end of fiscal year 2013 , according to its website. The Department of Veterans Affairs has provided OSU with its own representative as it brings in VetSuccess on Campus, liaison Denise Bays-Napier. Bays-Napier referred The Lantern to Mike Forrest, the director of Veterans Transition and Services at OSU, for comment. Forrest said Bays-Napier is a full-time federal employee whose primary focus will be placed on providing veteran students with the resources they will need in order to succeed. Bays-Napier will also be charged with assisting veteran students in attaining healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs, Forrest said.

Ohio State needs to do a better job of informing veterans about the programs and services that are available to them. Kyle Smith Fourth-year in criminal justice staff sergeant and crew chief in the United States Air Force “Vets 4 Vets was the only organization on campus that helped me and I wasn’t aware of its existence until I stumbled upon it myself,” Smith said. “Ohio State needs to do a better job of informing veterans about the programs and services that are available to them.” OSU Vets 4 Vets is a student-run organization comprised mostly of military veterans who offer support to veterans in college. It works to provide the students with opportunities related to networking and community service, according to the organization’s website.

continuations James is a good person to associate with the school, but if he was to suit up for the Buckeyes this winter, he would have to put the work in just like everyone else. “I think that he’s going to have to earn his stripes,” Matta joked. “He’s done a lot of things in his time, but I think from a standpoint, we always want to pay our respects to him for what he did for us in ’07 in terms of us being the first LeBron school. Obviously we get tremendous product from him and I know he’s very proud of what he does for us.” Despite the facility being officially open to the players, Smith said additional funding is still needed to finish the overall project, which is expected to be finished prior to the start of the 2013 season. “We have to finish off the graphics in the facility,” Smith said. “We’ll probably send off an RFP (request for proposal) to hire a company to help design what it looks like. Then we’ll fundraise the dollars for that to try and finish that off.” Smith said the new facility “compares very well” to others at top-notch programs across the country, as OSU took some ideas from both Nebraska and Georgia after seeing each respective place. “We went to Nebraska because they were designing a new facility and Georgia because we heard about the circular locker rooms and we wanted to see what that actually looked like,” Smith said. “We looked at places, but didn’t go overboard. I think one of our principles and philosophies is to do what we need to do, make it exciting but not be ostentatious. And I think we’ve done that here.”

Tickets from 1A “I wasted my entire day sitting there, and now I probably won’t get tickets,” Taylor wrote in a direct message on Twitter. “I have no idea why we weren’t allowed to start forming the line earlier. It was a stampede when they tried to open the line, and it’s lucky no one was injured.” Not everyone, however, was as upset with the change. Some students said with such an unforeseen crowd gathering, it became near impossible to make out which students arrived first and who had simply pushed their way to the front.

Buses from 1A in the spring, and they have. So we wanted to put some skin in the game to get this to happen,” Stepp said. Stepp referred The Lantern to an OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning for cost information, but she was unable to immediately provide the information Tuesday night. Several students expressed support for the program, even if they won’t use it. “The buses are definitely a convenience, so anytime they’re running, students will be benefitting from them, I’m sure. I live on campus so I’ve never really used them, but I know a lot of people

Agreeing that having such first-rate facilities can help with recruiting, Matta said he wants young people to come to OSU for more than just athletics. “I don’t want a young man to come here because we have a nice practice facility,” Matta said. “I want him to come for the university. I want him to come for hopefully who we are as people.” Women’s basketball coach Kevin McGuff, who is entering his first season at the helm, agreed with Matta but said having separate gyms for both teams gives them the opportunity to practice whenever they want. “For us to have the flexibility to practice whenever we want allows us to help them (studentathletes) really strive to be the best they can be in the classroom also,” McGuff said. Matta said it allows them to not “be as concerned with class schedules.” “From the standpoint of gym availability and that sort of thing, this just gives us a lot more,” Matta said. “It gives us more of the ability to do what we need to do for our players.” Matta said the new practice facility is just another reason he is fortunate to be in the situation he is at OSU. “I consider myself the luckiest person in the world to be here,” Matta said. “It’s my 10th year now, and I’m still blown away at times by what this place stands for and the commitment that they’ve made to us in terms of following through with what they said is very important to me and very important to our players.”

“Based on the circumstances, it was understandable for D-Tix to change it to a lottery,” said Jackson Hamilton, a third-year in economics. Students are to be notified by email Wednesday with the results of the lottery, Isaacs said. University Police representatives were unable to be reached for immediate comment Tuesday night. Isaacs said the number of tickets to be distributed could not be disclosed. Dan Hessler contributed to this story.

who do,” said Antoinette Metzler, a second-year in neuroscience. Storm Mohn, a first-year in biology, said he thinks it will benefit student safety. “I’ve never used (those buses). But I think it’s a good idea. For students coming back to campus, it’s better than walking, especially if they’re intoxicated,” he said.

OSU football showed depth against Buffalo DANIEL ROGERS Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu As the temperatures climbed and the game against Buffalo dragged on, the Ohio State football team began to feel the effects of the heat. Many, including junior quarterback Braxton Miller and junior linebacker Ryan Shazier, were forced out of the game because of cramping and dehydration. But a player going out because of exhaustion is not an excuse to suspend the game, so the Buckeyes were forced to rely on backup players to step into big roles. Familiar with receiving playing time in tight games, as seen in OSU’s overtime victory over Purdue last season, redshirt senior quarterback Kenny Guiton came in Saturday after Buffalo cut the lead to 30-20 and Miller came out with cramps. Guiton said he is always prepared to play in case something happens, especially on a day like Saturday. “Cramping is something you really can’t control and I knew I needed to be ready at any time, being as how much we run the QB and everything,” Guiton said. “I know I needed to be ready.” The one drive Guiton was a part of led to a touchdown and a 17-point lead over the Bulls. Although it was the touchdown that goes in the box score, Guiton attributes the points to his teammates who helped set it up. “I think the plays leading up to it made it easier for the touchdown because we were running the ball and we had a few runs for first downs and the next thing you know, we just hit ‘em with the play-action,” Guiton said. “Everybody came up and we hit (senior wide receiver Chris Fields) right behind them.” Redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley received the start, but was forced to sit out a majority of the game because of a foot injury sustained last season. Sophomore center Jacoby Boren, the third Boren brother to play for the Buckeyes, came in and played for the rest of the game. Redshirt-senior running back Jordan Hall said Boren was successful as a replacement, but he has as many expectations as Linsley does. “Jacoby (Boren) did a pretty good job too,” Hall said. “But it’s Ohio State, so next person up.” On the other side of the ball, players like redshirtsophomore safety Ron Tanner and freshman defensive

Defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell praised Bosa’s talent and ability to come in and play whenever they needed him. “We felt really confident about however many snaps Joey Bosa had to play. He’s a guy that’s proven it,” Fickell said. “He’s done a great job against our offensive line. To me, he’s as good as there is in college football, and he’s going to be well prepared to help us throughout their entire season.” Coach Urban Meyer has been impressed with Bosa so far this year and sees him playing more in the future if he continues at his current pace. “On defense, Joey Bosa has played very well,” Meyer said. “He’s earning a lot of time in the rotation. I’m really impressed with him.” Tanner, who recorded an interception against Buffalo, along with senior redshirt-safety Corey Brown filled in for the injured redshirt-senior safety C.J. Barnett who was ruled out just before kickoff. Fickell said Tanner played well, but that injuries are bound to happen during a long football season and players need to be ready. “C.J. Barnett was down, nobody ever said a word

about it and Ron Tanner steps up and does a great job for us. I think that’s the mentality we want to have because this is going to be a long season,” Fickell said. Meyer said he liked seeing the younger players on the field, and said it will help them in the long run to receive in-game experience. “The good thing is, we have a chance to get better,” Meyer said. “A lot of new players on defense. When Shazier cramped up, we were down there. Christian Bryant was basically our only veteran player out there. I’m anxious to see a lot of improvement.” Certain players may not receive as much playing time in the future, particularly after players like Barnett and redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby return to the field. Roby was suspended for one game due to his involvement in an incident at a Bloomington, Ind., bar in July. Fickell appreciated how the new players handled themselves when things did not go their way Saturday. “We kind of talked about it being Christmas morning, we got a lot of new guys opening presents, I knew what was inside, but I wanted to see what happened when all of a sudden something didn’t go well,” Fickell said. Ohio State hosts San Diego State (0-1) Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

The No. 23 ranked Buckeyes are scheduled to host Dabrowa, a Polish professional team, coming off a tournament championship at the NIU Invitational, where they beat Liberty, Green Bay and Northern Illinois. Even though it is an exhibition match, junior setter

Taylor Sherwin said OSU will not take it any less seriously. “We’ll treat it like a regular game,” Sherwin said. “Of course we always want to go for that W.” Sherwin, who picked up tournament MVP and Big Ten Setter of the Week honors after the NIU Invitational, said the match will be a cultural experience and a chance to see how other countries play the game. Sophomore middle blocker Andrea Kacsits said she plans to enjoy herself in the match. “It’s supposed to be more of a fun type of environment,” Kacsits said.

Dabrowa, who has been playing various universities across the U.S., fell to No. 1 Penn State 3-0 Aug. 30. Coach Geoff Carlston said it is a great opportunity for his team to get to play a squad of such high caliber. “They’re a professional team,” Carlston said. “They’re a very good, highly-touted team.” Carlston said, since it is an exhibition match, he will be trying to rotate the squad more than normal. “It’s an exhibition match so it’s the one chance we’re going to have all year to really play around with lineups,” Carlston said. The Buckeye coach said there are some specific spots his team needs to work on in the match. “No matter who we play we (have to) work on our coverage and not getting blocked as much as we got blocked (at the NIU Invitational),” he said. The game will be a new experience for most of the team, and Kacsits said she had never played a team from Europe. Carlston said none of his players have extensive international experience. Admission for the exhibition match is $5 for adults, $3 for students and any OSU student with a valid BuckID gets in free. The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. at St. John Arena. After the match against Dabrowa, OSU will travel to Tallahassee, Fla., for the Four Points by Sheraton Seminole Invitational. The Buckeyes are set to take on No. 16 Western Kentucky and No. 15 Florida State Friday before finishing the tournament against unranked Florida Gulf Coast Saturday.

Former Buckeye, Sullinger, pleads not guilty to domestic violence charges MEGHAN WALLIS Lantern reporter wallis.36@osu.edu Former Ohio State men’s basketball player and current Boston Celtic Jared Sullinger pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of assault and battery, intimidation of a witness and destruction of personal property. Sullinger was charged after an argument with his longtime girlfriend Deann Smith turned physical over the weekend in Waltham, Mass., according to The Boston Globe. Police were called to Sullinger and Smith’s home at about 8 p.m. Saturday. According to the police report, Sullinger “pushed her down onto the bed and got on top of her. Deann states she tried several times to get up, but he kept pinning her down and would not let her up.” Smith told police he first threw her to the floor “then got on top of her again and would not let her up,” according to the report. According to Sullinger’s attorney, Charles Rankin, Smith waited 10 hours to contact the Waltham Police Department. Sullinger had returned to Columbus for a scheduled visit with his family, but returned to Waltham shortly after a warrant was issued for his arrest. “Once she was able to confirm he was out of state, she called the police to report the incident,”

the police report said. Sullinger voluntarily reported to the authorities early Tuesday morning. The police report also states that Smith, also a former OSU student, had red marks still visible on her chest when authorities arrived at the home Saturday evening and her phone was also heavily damaged, according to The Globe. Smith’s attorney, Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Sarah Ellis, reported Smith told investigators she had been pushed around and felt threatened by Sullinger in the past, but never reported any incidents. OSU men’s basketball coach Thad Matta said Tuesday he knew of the situation regarding his former star, but could not offer any further information other than his personal feelings toward Sullinger. “I can’t comment on it right now because I don’t know exactly what it is but I am aware of the situation,” Matta said. “I think from my standpoint, Jared (Sullinger) is the best. Who he is as a person and what he was able to accomplish here. I wish he was coming back for his senior year to be honest with you.” OSU athletic director Gene Smith was more brief on the subject Tuesday. “I don’t have enough details on it to have a comment,” Gene Smith said. Sullinger released a statement via the Boston Celtics organization on Tuesday, apologizing for his actions: “I voluntarily reported to the Waltham police this

morning to respond to charges against me. The experience was humbling and embarrassing for me. Yet I know that this situation has brought both sorrow and embarrassment to my girlfriend, my family, the Boston Celtics organization my teammates, and my fans. To all of you, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. My lawyers have advised me not to discuss the case at this time. But I wanted to immediately and publicly apologize to everyone affected by this situation.” The Celtics also released a statement regarding the incident. “The Celtics were disappointed to learn of the allegations against Jared (Sullinger) and are currently gathering more information on the situation, which we are taking very seriously. We will reserve further comment until such point that we have sufficient additional information,” the statement said. Sullinger was released on $5,000 bail by District Court Judge Gregory C. Flynn, and was ordered to only contact Deann Smith via telephone or if a third person is present. He is due back in court Sept. 19. Both Sullinger and the Waltham Records Department did not return request for comment Tuesday. Sullinger, a two-time AP All-American, led the Buckeyes to the 2011 Sweet Sixteen and 2012 Final Four before getting drafted 21st overall by Boston in 2012 NBA Draft.

Ohio State student Cody Puccetti assisted Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Mike Posner, Chip Tha Ripper and his boss down High Street in search of some lunch on a chilly November afternoon in 2011. “I was just baffled,” Puccetti said, commenting on his experience. He was 19 years old at the time and had the privilege to parade down High Street with five musical artists he considered famous. Before attending OSU, the fourth-year in biology attended Upper Arlington High School. His sophomore year of high school, Patrick Cline, a promoter for Columbus company Vanline Productions LLC, sent Puccetti a message via Facebook, asking him to meet at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus one Saturday. Cline was searching via Facebook for high school students from Central Ohio to be ticket sellers for his promotion company. Although Puccetti thought the message to be “sketchy,” Cline had reasoning for reaching out to his hometown of Columbus. “Sure I could’ve found 100 plus intern resumes from major entertainment agencies or management firms out West, but the thought of reaching out to someone from my hometown was fulfilling,” Cline said. Cline’s leap of faith ended up paying off. “I reached out to (Puccetti) blindly to help promote a show early on in my career. It was his first time ever promoting a show and, out of the team we had set up in the market, Cody outperformed everyone and hit it out of the park,” Cline said. Puccetti then began his work for Vanline and in 2010, Cline, who manages singer, songwriter and producer Posner, promoted Puccetti to be his assistant. “(Puccetti is) an extension to our management team, so he’s involved in a wide range of tasks and responsibilities that come with working with a multiplatinum international artist,” Cline said. Since, Puccetti has had many opportunities working in the line of business. For example, Puccetti got to be in the rehearsal studio with Posner and rapper Ludacris as they practiced each other’s songs before performing together. “Last New Year’s, Mike Posner did a show in Miami (Florida) with Ludacris, and it was called the ‘Red Bull Soundclash.’ They had two stages facing each other, and the crowd was in the middle. Mike did Luda’s songs and Luda did Mike’s songs,” Puccetti said. Puccetti devotes his free time to booking shows, setting up recording studio time and promoting DJ E-V, who serves as Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly’s official mix tape DJ and Posner’s tour DJ, and Cal Scruby, a former OSU student who became popular through various raps about the university and his hometown of Cincinnati. Puccetti said he got Scruby’s career up and running by knowing the formalities of the music industry. “Every connect we had was through Cody,” Scruby said. Last fall, Scruby came out with an EP, titled “Boy Genius,” which Puccetti produced. In February, “Fux With Me,” a song from “Boy Genius,” was featured on BBC Radio 1. Puccetti said this was one of his proudest achievements. “Normally, the manager wouldn’t just walk in and start messing with stuff. But I produced some beats, so it’s kind of like a collaboration effort,” Puccetti said. During the Midwest leg of Justin Bieber’s Believe tour, Puccetti managed and sat backstage as Posner opened for the pop artist, who performed at Nationwide Arena July 12. He also managed Posner when he opened for Ke$ha at the LC Pavilion on Aug. 27. “Managing an artist on an arena tour for the night won’t look too shabby on the resume,” Puccetti said. In Spring 2014, Puccetti is set to add a degree in biology to his resume

Cody Puccetti, a 4th-year in biology and member of the management team at Vanline Productions LLC, poses with his girlfriend, Abbey Wolfe. following his graduation from OSU. His choice of study, he explains, was a way for him to challenge himself. Although the subject matter seems to contrast, he said much of what he has learned in biology and pre-med helped him in his work life. “The work ethic has been a major help,” Puccetti said. “It takes a lot of time and effort to study biology at OSU, and it definitely translates to promoting.” Puccetti has “no clue at this point” regarding his plans for the far future, but he hopes to go on tour full-time after commencement. In the near future, though, he is focused on booking October shows in Ohio for Scruby and organizing a radio tour for Posner. Cline, though, assures open doors for Puccetti post-graduation. “Ohio natives have a strong presence in the national entertainment business, believe it or not, and Cody has the potential to continue that,” Cline said. “He’s getting great experience early on, he’s smart and has a good ear for music, and he’ll have some doors open for him when he graduates.” Danielle Seamon contributed to this story.

@LanternAE

Abigail Hofrichter Lantern reporter hofrichter.3@osu.edu One Columbus company has been rocking vintage long before 2013 — six years, exactly — and is bringing its idea of vintage wear to students. Clothing Underground opened on North High Street in April and has been attracting customers with back-to-school sidewalk sales. The store is located next to Johnny Go’s House O’ Music across from the Wexner Center for the Arts, and this is the store’s first physical location. “We couldn’t have picked a better spot,” said Josh Harden, owner of Ghetto Vintage and Clothing Underground. “There is a great energy with all the students walking around.” Clothing Underground is an extension of the online store, Ghetto Vintage. Ghetto Vintage has been in operation for six years. Before opening Clothing Underground, the company converted a 1960 airstream into a mobile store. Along with the move from an online store to High Street, Harden felt a name change was needed. “We changed the name because we didn’t want to limit ourselves to just vintage,” Harden said. “We want to bring all kinds of fashion forward pieces into the store.” Harden said the company is focusing on “up-cycling” with the latest extension. The design team reworks vintage pieces into unique, modern looks, such as 1980s high-waisted denim Levi’s, which are one of the most popular items this season, Harden said. “We love the challenge of taking current runway and street styles and interpreting them with secondhand and vintage items,” Harden said. Harden went on to explain the company aims to provide clothing appropriate for a casual young consumer. The team looks for items that are trendy, affordable and wearable, Harden explained. So, unlike many vintage stores, Clothing Underground houses little formal wear.

Avalon Regalbuto, 1st-year in health sciences, shops at Clothing Underground, located at 1898 N. High St. “It has a little bit of a hipster feel,” said fourthyear communication and English major Shelby Bradford. “It’s very appropriate for Columbus and campus.” The store’s re-vamped Ohio State tank tops have been a hit for the beginning of football season, Harden said. “We take old OSU tees and re-work them into sexy tanks and crop tops,” said Harden. “They sell out the same day they hit the store each week.” Harden said the OSU gear sold out for the first home game and will be back in store by Friday. Prices range from $10 to $25 for products like shorts, dresses, tops and jewelry. Ghetto Vintage and Clothing Underground source their vintage goods from a variety of places, Harden said, adding that the group spends the summers traveling to festivals and flea markets, buying products and networking.

“We have longstanding relationships with other vintage dealers and collectors from all over the country,” Harden said. The company maintains high standards so the idea of “secondhand” or “vintage” doesn’t become synonymous with “used” or “old.” All clothing comes to the Ghetto Vintage warehouse in Columbus where they clean and inspect each piece. “Our store is highly curated but not overpriced,” Harden said. Some students have taken advantage of recent sales and found themselves pleased with the store’s vision and quality of products. “These are nicer clothes compared to other vintage places where stuff can be raggedy,” said return-shopper Alisa Burnside, a first-year in architecture. Clothing Underground is located at 1898 N. High St. The store’s hours vary by day.

studentvoice Abercrombie name a poor choice for OSU emergency dept.

Freshmen should not be afraid to try new things Sam harrington Lantern Reporter harrington.227@osu.edu

Courtesy of Facebook

The OSU Board of Trustees voted Aug. 30 to name an emergency room at the Wexner Medical Center the ‘Abercrombie & Fitch Emergency Department.’

campus Columnist

In their monthly meeting Friday, the Ohio State Board of Trustees passed a proposal to give a name to the new emergency department at the Wexner Medical Center. Out of all the cameron roda distinguished roda.7@osu.edu professionals to come out of this far-reaching university in its near 150 year existence, who deserved the naming rights more than Abercrombie & Fitch? Yes, the imperious Ohio-headquartered clothing company famous for its scandalous advertising models, absurd clothing prices and a fair share of lawsuits. Ads fill Abercrombie & Fitch stores and catalogues displaying almost naked young models of both genders in scandalous poses, sending the message to youthful customers that Abercrombie & Fitch clothing will make the opposite gender more sexually interested in them. The last decade has seen the company face multiple lawsuits ranging from racial, religious and physical disability related issues, according to multiple media news outlets including The New York Times. A $10 million donation in 2008 to the Wexner Medical Center was enough to let the university turn a blind eye to the alarming moral issues connected with Abercrombie & Fitch in the past 10 years. Following the decision made by the Board, I had

one question: In what way does the naming of the “Abercrombie & Fitch Emergency Department” aid the forward progress of this university? When asked in 2006 in an interview about his company’s clothing sizes, CEO Mike Jeffries responded “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends.” Jeffries admittedly promotes his company’s discrimination and his mind-numbing remarks are just the beginning. But now that we have the Abercrombie & Fitch Emergency Department, what happens when a suspected “not-so-cool kid” gets rushed to the ER with a broken arm? Will he get turned away and told to go elsewhere because he isn’t a cool kid? Abercrombie & Fitch is also a company who denied a young, autistic girl and her older sister the right to go into a fitting room together because of “store policy aimed at preventing shoplifting,” according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. Despite the fact that the 14-year-old girl had never gone anywhere by herself, the store refused to accommodate her disability and embarrassed her in front of other customers as her mother and older sister protested. As if the girl had not been embarrassed enough, Abercrombie & Fitch requested medical and scholastic records of the girl as well as an appointment with a psychologist of their choice to make certain she was in fact disabled. The appalling nature of Abercrombie & Fitch employees at the local and national level led to fines of more than $115,000, according to the Tribune. Having the Wexner Medical Center connected with a company whose clothing line is well-known

for raising body image concerns seems a bit hypocritical for a health institution. Abercrombie & Fitch does not sell women’s clothing greater than size 10, two to three sizes smaller than the average size of an American women as indicated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention . Abercrombie & Fitch wants its customers to look attractive and fashionable, but also wants to control what the idea of what is attractive. Every human being has his or her own ideas of what they do and do not find attractive in another person. It is not up to a clothing company to try and tell us who or what we find attractive, especially when it is strictly based off physical features. The most shocking point out of all of the bad moves made by Abercrombie & Fitch is the fact that their CEO Jeffries has openly admitted to being gay, according to a 2013 article from Business Insider. It is not shocking that he is openly gay, that is something he admits to, represents and should be proud of. What is shocking is that someone like him who has faced years of inequality because of his homosexuality, fails to sympathize with others who society may deem unattractive because of their physical attributes. Maybe this goes to show how money can change the perspective of some who have it. Maybe the university’s decision to grant Abercrombie & Fitch the emergency department naming rights goes to show how money donations can redact from view a company’s moral bigotry. All that I know is if wearing Abercrombie & Fitch clothing makes you an “attractive, all-American cool kid,” I’m the lamest kid you’re ever going to meet.

I am excited for this school year. College’s ever-changing landscape guarantees no year will be like the last. Perhaps the greatest change from year to year is the addition of a new class. As a senior, I view freshmen as the mutable life-blood of the university. So I’d like to take this time to congratulate this freshmen class. Well done, you have made it to Ohio State, I am excited you choose this place and hope you will find yourself at home. I’d encourage you to fully embrace this experience by exploring OSU: find interesting student groups, attend events, study abroad, meet with professors, wander buildings, browse the scores of library bookshelves, etc. OSU has a virtually limitless treasure trove of information and experiences just waiting for the students to take part. The only difficulty in finding these things is that the extent of a student’s involvement falls squarely on their own shoulders. But if the cost of experience is to forsake timidity, making things uncomfortable, then it’s worth it. The world of OSU is ready to be grasped, as far as it depends on the individual. Although this is my personal thought, I have found that I am not the only one to express it. In The Lantern’s first issue of the school year in 1913, one student wrote about the freshmen entering into a new stage of life, filled with whatever they pursue. “To be a freshman is to stand before a magic casement, with all the fair and goodly world at his feet. So we are all watching you and our hand is on your shoulder. The road treads the delectable hills and there are many pleasant friends along the way,” wrote the student. “And yet so much depends, not on teacher or classmate or college, but on the freshman himself.” Through the ages this university has been a bastion of camaraderie and friendship; each class would do themselves well to follow in their predecessors’ footsteps, welcoming every new face they see, especially freshmen. “So here’s a hail to them and may they grow wise and great.”

What to do in Syria a critical, difficult decision for US campus Columnist

No matter how you slice it, intervening in a civil war between splintered and divided rebels and a totalitarian regime that more than likely used chemical weapons on civilians, doesn’t have any clear, guaranteed Nick roll outcomes. roll.66@osu.edu President Barack Obama understood this complexity when he delivered an address Saturday on how the U.S. should respond to the actions overseas. With confidence Bashar Hafez al-Assad used chemical weapons and with confidence the United Nations would not be able to pass a resolution, Obama announced he is prepared to authorize limited air strikes on Syrian military compounds to preserve the dignity of international law. Although prepared to authorize the strikes himself, for the moment, Obama wants to defer any action to a vote in Congress when it reconvenes Sept. 9 following its summer recess. Pressure has been mounting on some kind of intervention from the U.S., U.N. and western European countries. Intervention, however, is a vague word. In reality, there are many different options, for intervention in Syria, but none of them are completely sound. Some Ohio State students, such as Rose Denzer, a first-year in pharmaceutical sciences, said are unsure of how things would transpire. “I think the United States should be involved, but I don’t know exactly on what level,” Denzer said. David Fraley, a first-year in mechanical engineering, showed concern about the lack of clear options. “I don’t think (the U.S.) knows enough to start a military action. If we do commit to military action, there needs to be a game plan, an exit strategy,” Fraley said. “The United States should wait for the United Nations to come up with an answer on what to do.” One option is just to put boots on the ground, but Obama is opposed to this option. The U.S. can send in troops to overthrow Assad, and end the civil war, but as we have seen in other countries (such as Iraq), overthrowing a government doesn’t necessarily end the fighting. It is not enough simply to take out someone in power and walk away. Committing to a war means committing to nation-building after that war. For the U.S. to march on Assad and then leave, would actually be much worse than not doing anything at all. As unstable as Syria is now, it will be much worse if the U.S. creates a power vacuum. Sending more troops to the Middle East is the last option on a lot of people’s list of options concerning Syria. The U.S. has been fighting wars in the Middle East since 2001 and is in the process of withdrawing troops from the region. The next option then, which Obama is ready to

Demonstrators rally on the north side of the White House in Washington, D.C., to protest any US military action against Syria Aug. 29. sanction, is to strategically bomb different Syrian military sites. Though this is less of a troop obligation, and less of a monetary obligation, it isn’t foolproof. It still commits the U.S. to creating a more stable Syria after shaking it up, which requires time and money from a country that is exhausted from Middle Eastern affairs both militarily and monetarily. Despite the cons, Brandon Balogh, a fourth-year in communication, said he thinks this is the best option. “I think the United States should use limited tactical strikes, because the odds of the U.N. coming to a resolution are slim,” Balogh said. Even if the Assad regime is somehow ousted from power, with or without help from the United States, there’s no way to guarantee that Assad’s removal is the best thing for Syrians, or the U.S. There aren’t just two sides to this civil war — it isn’t just the rebels versus Assad. The Syrian rebels come in all shapes and sizes, from moderate non-sectarians, to radical, extremist hardliners. The rebels are varied and fragmented, according to different beliefs, funding and organization. To implement a government friendly to the U.S., and other western powers, more than strategic bombing or deploying troops will be needed. What not may be as obvious is how the U.S. would be perceived in doing so, even if America has support from other countries. A simple look back to Iraq will tell anyone the U.S. is not always seen as a liberator — in fact, nation building in a post-Assad Syria will require that the U.S., U.N., or whomever is involved pick and

chose those who do and those who do not get power. “The West,” the U.N., or the U.S. — however the interveners are perceived — will be seen as the enemy to whatever violent group is not in power and will be their next target. The best way to come off as fair in acting on Syria would be to wait for a U.N. resolution. This would mitigate the feelings of unfairness caused in realigning the Syrian government, as the decision would come from a recognized, international governance. However, Obama, and many OSU students for that matter, seem to have little faith in the U.N. Quite frankly, a U.N. resolution is not likely to come with China and Russia as permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. Neither China nor Russia have governments that champion human rights, so when many countries want to use that reason as justification for going into Syria, we can keep expecting the vetoes to roll in. Add in the fact that Russia has lucrative arms deals with Syria, and holds a position that going into Syria would violate international law, a U.N. resolution is all but impossible. If the U.S. decides to take some course of action, the Arab League — comprised of 21 Arab states including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt — does not support any U.S. intervention in Syria. But doing nothing about Syria isn’t necessarily a good thing, either. Obama suggested doing nothing allows the Syrian government would make a mockery of international law and human rights. Letting an oppressive, violent regime continue is certainly not in

anyone’s best interest, except, of course, for Assad I suppose. If the U.S. or other western nations have no say in which rebels take power, there is no guarantee that the next government will be any better — neither for Syrian civilians nor the U.S. and its allies. Whether we like it or not, the U.S. is too big and powerful of a country to use isolationism as a strategy when it comes to world affairs. The best thing that the U.S. can do is to have support and consensus in whatever it decides — whether that consensus is simply congressional or international. No option is foolproof and it’s going to come down to deciding which choice outweighs the others. For Obama, it’s air strikes. Whether that decision is echoed by an official U.N. sanction, or an organized coalition with countries in Europe, the U.N. cannot handle the intervention, or the aftermath, on its own.

[ a+e ] Ariana Grande channels Mariah Carey in release of ‘Yours Truly’ DANIELLE SEAMON Asst. arts editor seamon.17@osu.edu

“Yours Truly” Ariana Grande

Courtesy of Philip Franta

A photo taken by Philip Franta, a 3rd-year in art. Franta’s exhibition ‘Paris: Object Awareness,’ at the Ohio Art League starts Thursday and runs through Sept. 27.

Student exhibits Paris photos MATTHEW LOVETT Senior Lantern reporter lovett.45@osu.edu The scenes that photographer and third-year art major Philip Franta captures are those of an urban wilderness. “As an artist, I’m trying to communicate something not only about subject matter, but also the nature of perception itself,” Franta said. “The viewer may have difficulty discerning what the image is … it becomes a meditation momentarily. That’s part of the experience I’m trying to create.” This nature of perception will be explored in the Ohio Art League’s exhibition of his work, titled “Paris: Object Awareness,” starting Thursday and running through Sept. 27. By using certain photographic techniques, Franta isolates specific elements of his photos to emphasize the object. Seventeen of Franta’s photos will be on exhibit, all of which were taken during a vacation he took to Paris in October 2012. “This is actually the first time I’m putting together a one-person show, and all the work will be from Paris,” Franta said. “I’m concentrating on certain aspects of the modern environment that give an insight into the post-modern environment we live in.”

“Object Awareness” delves into the dichotomy of the environment in which society exists, and another, subliminally transmitted environment, Franta said. Although all of the photos were taken in Paris, not much of the city itself is observed. In that respect, Franta said this project could have been executed in any major urban area. “You don’t see a whole lot of Paris, it mostly comes through the edges. Within that is sort of a modern context of scenes that reflect the street culture,” Franta said. “Also the effects of commercialism and electronic media. They all come together in this dance.” Former Ohio Art League intern and fourth-year in photography Olivia Miller said exhibitions from Ohio-based artists such as “Object Awareness” are representative of the types of displays the Ohio Art League wishes to hold. The Ohio Art League is a nonprofit art organization for artists living and working in Ohio and presents opportunities for these artists to sell and show their work, often for the first time, Miller said. “People should come to shows just to see different artists that work in the community and throughout Ohio,” Miller said. “It’s just a really good place to see different artworks and it’s really close to campus, too.” The Ohio Art League is located at 1552 N. High St. in the South Campus Gateway.

Waited too long to find your housing?

The sugary sweetness in Ariana Grande’s (Grande-Butera’s) voice is enough to give you a cavity, and her debut album, “Yours Truly,” will keep dentists worldwide in business. It’s hard to discuss Grande’s grand voice absent of Mariah Carey analogies, and, undoubtedly, the pitch of Ariana’s voice can easily be mistaken for Mimi. Additionally, the formula of her songs on Tuesday’s release is a carbon copy of the Mariah method, beginning as a tune easy to sing along and ending as a solo for your dog whistle. However, she is not Carey, who is more than twice Grande’s senior, and in the market of songstresses blessed with the ability to sing in octaves of heavenly proportions, Grande must find her niche. Whether “Yours Truly” does so is debatable. Her single off the album, “The Way,” featuring Mac Miller, is perhaps the honors thesis to “Yours Truly.” The song, similar to the entire album, dedicates itself to young love, young men and young hope accompanied by a simple R&B backtrack, smooth piano and finger snaps on the downbeat. This gives Grande leeway and room to skate through as many musical scales as possible before being expected to come in for the chorus. In contrast, “Piano” makes for a joyful, Rihanna-esque club song that inches away from the Mariah mantra, but it relapses in “Daydreamin’.” However, it is Grande’s collaboration with quirky, falsetto aficianado MIKA that would put Mandy Moore’s “Candy” to shame. A spin-off the song made famous by the character of Glinda in

Broadway hit “Wicked,” “Popular Song” is still proof of Grande’s talent while also exhibiting an ability to not take herself too seriously, something that I can finally say is unlike Mariah Carey. And the song is catchy — so, so catchy. The sweetest treats can be destroyed by terrible delivery, though, and unfortunately, “Yours Truly” is similar to cupcakes toppled over in their package. Instead of distinct, unique songs, the album seems to run as one continuous track, mixing one song’s frosting with the one next to it. Grande’s album gives into the Mariah mold, somewhat expected for any R&B female singer who can reach three octaves above middle C. Grande is talented — there is no debate there. However, I don’t want the treats if each song isn’t enjoyable standing alone.
