All varsity sports cut at Newark campus Decision meant to balance budget AMANDA ETCHISON Campus Editor etchison.4@osu.edu For Chelsea Dobson, a fourth-year in art at Ohio State’s Newark campus, basketball games are a time for the campus to get together and share in one experience of fandom.

“The main sport that I feel like gets the most attention is the basketball team. Usually, those are the best crowds,” said Dobson, who works as a student athletic assistant at OSU-Newark. “They will cheer, they yell crazy things when we have the ball and things like that.”

But students at OSU-Newark will not get the chance to cheer on their team next year after it was announced on April 10 that varsity sports will no longer be offered beginning in the fall, because of budget reduction initiatives by the school.

The school announced the decision as part of an email sent out to faculty and staff that said, as part of the budget planning for fiscal year 2016, the varsity athletic teams will be discontinued, effective June 30.

After years of being just a student, senior Malcolm Branson was offered a walk-on spot with the OSU track team and joined the Buckeyes in September. Branson was discovered by coaches after competing in the fastest-student race at halftime of the 2014 football Spring Game.

Student race standout becomes varsity athlete JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. Sports Editor grega.9@osu.edu About a year ago, senior Malcolm Branson was racing against fellow students, including Ohio State football players, at halftime of the 2014 Spring Game at Ohio Stadium.

Now, Branson is racing toward a new finish line.

Just months after taking on then-OSU football player Doran Grant in the fastest-student race on April 12, 2014, Branson was contacted by OSU associate head track coach Rosalind Joseph to gauge his interest in trying out for the track program.

“I was shocked if anything, and she said, ‘Do you wanna

give it a try?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’” Branson told The Lantern. “I definitely wanted a shot to be an athlete again. I had to jump on it.”

Branson tried out in August, but didn’t exactly impress the coaches right away.

Karen Dennis, the director of track and field and cross country at OSU, said she wasn’t sure if Branson was going to make an impact at all at first.

“I didn’t know if he was going to be able to be a contributor or not,” Dennis said. “He just had no coordination in terms of just being more fluid with his running. He was extremely weak, but he kept coming every day.”

MICHAELA GOOD Senior Lantern Reporter good.241@osu.edu While William Shakespeare’s “Richard II” might not be adept at handling finances — wrongfully taking money from his subjects to finance a war — Ohio State’s English department has managed to

produce four sold-out performances of the play with a single donation.

Last academic year, an alumni couple anonymously gave $50,000 to the department with the stipulation that it go toward two major projects within the department, said Hannibal Hamlin, a professor in the Department of English.

Since spring 2014, plans for the production have been in the works, Hamlin said.

“It’s an interesting process.

A lot of students are involved,”

Hamlin said. “I’m actually acting in it.”

He will be playing the role of the gardener in the play along with working on promoting it.

Although the play has a majority of male characters, the director, Sarah Neville, an assistant professor in the English department, has adapted it to be more “gender blind,” and both of the leads will be played by women so as to give them equal representation in a male-dominated play.

JUDY WON Lantern Reporter won.69@osu.edu

Ellie Rogers, a third-year in theatre, will play Richard II. “I don’t really play it any differently than I would any other role because I don’t think that should be important,” Rogers said. “I think the importance should be his character, not his gender.”

The production has come together through the help of students of the course, Special Topics in Shakespeare. Lord

Ohio State student Harley Skorpenske walked out to the CVS parking lot on Thursday morning to see a stranger placing Harley Skorpenske a note on her car.

campus Store gears up to serve as a technology hub for students MICHAEL COLIN Lantern Reporter mikecolin13@gmail.com After numerous delays, Ohio State has opened the doors to a new campus destination for all things technology.

Tech Hub, which replaced Wired Out, opened Thursday with a special grand opening sale.

The sale provided discounts to students, faculty, staff and alumni for products such as iPads, HP laptops and Beats products.

The store was originally scheduled to open in late January, but cold weather prevented construction workers from pouring concrete for a wheelchair ramp. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made wheelchair ramps a legal necessity for buildings.

Now that the cold weather has subsided and the concrete has been poured, Tech Hub is ready to welcome students looking to buy technology-related products and access other services.

Along with offering students the

chance to purchase products at discounted prices, Tech Hub will also feature a second Buckeye Bar location, which provides students with help for any technological problems they might have. The original Buckeye Bar is in Thompson Library.

The store also features a new demo area. This section of the store is reserved for demonstrations of new technology and students presenting ideas of their own.

During a “first look” event held on Wednesday, the demo area hosted a presentation from Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset that enters the user into a virtual world where they can look in every direction.

This demo is just the first of many new technology presentations, said Zac Herr, a sales associate at Tech Hub. “We’ve got a lot of really new technology that’s available for students to try out,” he said.

The upcoming demos include the Leap Motion, a 3-D printer and a 3-D scanner that attaches to an iPad, Herr said.

Track from 1A Despite Dennis’ skepticism, Branson continued to show up at practice and tryouts, eventually winning Dennis over.

“Every day I would say, ‘Malcolm, you’re back?’ Every day. I must have said that for months. And every day he would show back up,” Dennis said. “He has just made improvement in terms of getting stronger and learning sprinting mechanics, getting in the weight room and being able to increase his endurance for sprints.”

After years of being just a student, Branson was offered a walk-on spot with the Buckeyes and joined the team in September.

Branson said that while he was not offered an athletic scholarship, the decision to accept a walk-on position was pretty easy to make. He missed the competitiveness that he experienced while running track in Massillon Perry High School.

“It’s definitely something I sat down and discussed with my family. Basically the decision was all mine and I thought it would be worth it to do it,” Branson said. “I love athletics more than anything. Regardless if it was track or any other

Herr also said that students interested in developing software can rent it out for free, but there is a catch.

“We just ask that you give a presentation in our store on what you developed or write a blog post for our website,” he said.

Chris Helman, the Tech Hub Store manager, said the move from the old Wired Out location to the new one right down the street was a collaborative process.

“It started with us outgrowing the old store and wanting to move into a larger space,” he said. “We started working together with ODEE (Office of Distance Education and e-Learning) as well as OCIO (Office of the Chief Information Officer) …

We’re all kind of working together to make a one-stop place for technology on campus.”

Helman said the next step for Tech Hub is preparing for freshman orientation over the summer.

“We want to make sure we get the word out to all the incoming students and their parents and make sure we get them taken care of and ready for school,” he said.

sport, I just wanted the chance to be an athlete again.”

Branson received his undergraduate degree in criminal justice in December, but continued to pay for classes beginning in the spring so he could continue to compete. He is now taking classes in psychology and plans to apply for jobs with law firms upon leaving OSU. But with the season currently in full swing, Dennis said Branson’s commitment to the OSU track team is unprecedented.

“I’ve been doing this nearly 30 years, and I have never known anybody that committed and that impassioned about a sport,” Dennis said.

“What he brings along with that is other people recognize his joy for just being a part of this team.”

Branson said that while he greatly enjoys the competition, one of the things he has appreciated the most is the camaraderie with his teammates.

“They are some of the best characters that I’ve met in my life. They are all funny,” Branson said. “We have a good time together, but we get serious when it’s time to handle business and that’s what I like most about us.”

Dennis said even though Branson might

One particular instance stands out in Dennis’ mind.

“I think he even beat Tim Faust one time. That just surprised (Branson), but at the same time it gave Tim a sense of urgency to improve his own skills,” Dennis said.

For comparison, Faust is a senior, a threetime second-team All-American and the 2013 Big Ten indoor champion in the 200 meter.

As for the OSU track team as a whole, the Buckeyes are coming off a first-place finish in the All-Ohio championships.

In that competition, Branson ran the 100m and finished fourth out of 20 participants with a time of 10.85 seconds. Faust finished first with a time of 10.75.

With the outdoor season in full swing, Branson said the team goals are set high for his only season as a member of the Buckeye track program.

“Win the outdoor Big Ten’s, for both men and women’s actually. The women are just coming off a indoor Big Ten championship, which is good,” Branson said. “Personal goal, I just really want to

Brokenshire said the overall goal is to give students a holistic technological experience right on campus.

score some points for my team and help us win in any way I can.”

The next event scheduled is the Virginia Challenge, set for Friday and Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. While the Buckeyes will be out of state, Dennis said that because of Branson’s emergence, she will be paying close attention to the second fastest-student competition set to take place at halftime of Saturday’s Spring Game.

“We will look at the football 40 and the football players that run. We want to build our team,” Dennis said. “We want to build our men’s program; we want the best that are on our campus. Our door is open, come on out.”

As for Branson, he said the past year has been a “blessing and a privilege,” and is trying to finish out his first and only year strong.

“Things like this don’t happen this often, especially the way it happened. I am definitely thankful for coaches just reaching out to me,” he said. “I am thankful for the coaches having me on our team. I am thankful for the team welcoming me with open arms; those guys are the best.”

16 pills each day. She also has to self-administer a shot of chemo every week.

But Skorpenske said the note from the stranger did not ruin her day.

“It’s just as simple as getting stuck in traffic or it’s raining,” she said.

While the note didn’t make her upset, it did anger Corinna Skorpenske, Harley’s mother.

“She actually has a disability, and I just wanted the person to understand that,” Corinna Skorpenske said. “That’s why she had a handicap parking sticker; it wasn’t just somebody who was borrowing someone else’s car and parked there.”

According to the Lupus Foundation of America, there are at least 1.5 million people in the United States who are diagnosed with lupus.

Lupus is a considered an “invisible illness,” a term that’s commonly used in the medical world to describe those who suffer from chronic diseases and appear to be healthy when they actually aren’t.

But Harley Skorpenske is not the only student on campus who suffers from an invisible illness.

“There are currently 1,850 students registered as having

The note left on Skorpenske’s car disabilities in the Office of Student Life Disability Services. Of that number, 88 percent have hidden or invisible disabilities that include, but are not limited to learning, attention deficit disorders, medical and mental health conditions,” said Lois Harris, the director of the Office of Student Life Disability Services, in an email.

Harley Skorpenske said the parking lot incident is something that’s common in the invisible illness community.

“I think it’s really difficult to conceptualize that somebody can have such a severe disability that they can’t walk that distance,” she said. “I try to be understanding of people that don’t have someone in their life with an invisible disability. I really want to protect what she (the stranger in CVS parking lot) did because I think what she did had great intentions. I applaud her for advocating for the people that have wheelchairs or crutches that also need those spots.”

But Corinna Skorpenske said she wished she could have confronted the bystander and talked to her. After finding words to describe her anger, Corinna Skorpenske channeled that anger into a post on Facebook.

“I decided to use this opportunity to make it a positive rather than a negative,” Corinna Skorpenske said.

In a post titled “To the person who left this on my daughter’s car,” Corinna Skorpenske said her daughter had been diagnosed with lupus when she was 16 years old, and explained the struggles her daughter has endured. She also shared her daughter’s collegiate journey with lupus, starting chemotherapy her freshman year, beginning to lose her hearing her sophomore year and having her lung collapse three times during her junior year, causing her to take time off from school.

The message was posted online on April 9 and had more than 184,000 shares as of Wednesday night. Both Harley and Corinne Skorpenske’s Facebook walls have been filled with support from the invisible illness community and from those who appreciated a mother standing up for her daughter.

Harley Skorpenske said she is proud of her mother for using social media to share her message.

“I think parents are really protective and she had the chance to put something really mean and equally attacking on Facebook,” Harley Skorpenske said. “I think she was able to make it an opportunity to teach someone something they didn’t know.”

Corinna Skorpenske said she is just as proud of her daughter and how she has attempted to raise awareness for her disease.

“She’s very passionate about bringing awareness to these ghost diseases,” Corinna Skorpenske said. “I kind of think that if she has this disability, then there’s no excuse for any of us.”

campus Protest on the Oval

Mark batke / Photo Editor

Carrie Stratton, a first-year in women’s, gender and sexuality studies, protests a pro-life demonstration set up on the Oval on April 14. Stratton was among a larger group of students protesting.

Newark from 1A sports: women’s volleyball, women’s basketball, softball, men’s basketball, baseball and golf. The sports teams compete in the Ohio Regional Campus Conference, which is an “independent sports organization that serves the regional campuses of Ohio,” according to the email.

The school’s recreational and intramural sports will continue on campus, the email said.

William MacDonald, dean and director of OSU-Newark, said he understands the impact this decision will have on both student-athletes and the general student population.

“It certainly will have an impact on them and I have talked to several of them,” he said. “I had a meeting with our student government and students they invited. Several athletes attended and they made a very well-reasoned argument as to how athletics can benefit students.”

MacDonald said the decision to cut varsity sports is part of one set of cuts that have been proposed

“We’ll play with metal bands, we’ll play with hard groups, and that’s really formed our sound a lot,” Miller said.

Kunkler added, “When we were really starting out, we played a lot of house shows in Athens, and that’s kind of the sound in those DIY houses,” also noting that the group’s sound has gotten more progressive and heavier over time.

The pair has given their music labels like “post-jazz” and “indie-jazz” on social media. In reality, Kunkler said trying to peg a genre is a challenge.

“It sucks trying to describe yourself,” he said. “We were calling ourselves ‘geometry jazz’ there for a while because people would say we sound like math rock.” Math rock is a sub-genre of rock characterized by complex rhythms and irregular time-signatures.

“It’s sound — words are something else. I’d rather just play and let the sound speak for itself, whatever that is,” Miller said. “It’s less about a genre and more about an energy.”

Miller and Kunkler met their freshman year at Ohio University when they

lived down the hall from each other.

They didn’t have much interaction until September 2013, when Knots was born. Consistent gigs started coming last March.

The duo’s name and titles of their work are just words that they liked the sound of.

They chose to stick to mainly incomplete phrases as titles for their first EP, “Doesn’t Do Anything Around the End,” which leaves the titles open for interpretation.

“You can derive meaning from any old phrase, and that’s a theme of ours,” Kunkler said.

Because none of the tracks have lyrics, they are referred to as “tunes,” which is a “jazz thing,” said Miller, who got his start in piano at a young age.

“I started taking lessons in early elementary school, and I took lessons up until junior high and then I stopped because piano is lame when you’re 13 and it doesn’t get cool again until you’re like 17,” he said.

Kunkler started playing the drums in his high school band program, which led him to get a music degree from Ohio University. He now teaches drum lessons for a living.

Miller also participated in his high school’s marching band, playing saxophone, and he worked with marching bands as a part of his student teaching for his degree in instrumental music education, also from Ohio University.

“If we didn’t have marching band, we couldn’t have done a lot of the stuff that we do,” Miller said.

Miller now works for Ohio State’s dance program, accompanying technique classes for ballet and modern dance, and teaches piano lessons on the side in addition to his work with Knots.

The duo has the education system to thank for their jobs, and they also cite colleges for the re-emergence of jazz on the popular music scene.

“Mainly because university programs have picked up jazz so much in the last 20 years, that’s bred and pushed different jazz genres,” Miller said. “I think it is kind of a hip thing now, maybe … Maybe.”

the student body is going to increase,” he said. “And then we have all of the uncertainty of the subsidies and tuition. We are not expecting growth in enrollment, at least not in the next couple of years. And so we won’t be seeing new revenue there.”

MacDonald said the school has taken precautionary measures by reducing the budget so that these impending costs will be covered in the upcoming years. In total, he said, the school is looking to offset approximately $915,000 in possible expenses with cuts.

“It’s conservative, but we have to balance the budget, so that is why we are setting that target,” he said.

Although he said it is hard to decide what to cut, MacDonald added that he thinks the cuts the school is making are the ones necessary to preserve the services students need the most.

“I would argue that right now, there are other things that we have wanted to do, but haven’t been able to do and probably won’t be able to do until we are able to get through this period

of budget pressure,” he said. “If we were, let’s say three or four years from now, we had some sort of boost to our revenue, we know there are things that we want to do that we think will improve student success. Things like expanding our first-generation student learning community (or) providing more scholarships.

“Those kind of things would all take priority over varsity athletics.”

But it is not just athletics that are on the expenditure chopping block for next year. Other budget cuts announced in the Friday email include the restructuring of the Office of Student Life and the Office of Financial Aid, changes in the hours of operation of the Warner Library, the elimination of at least eight univeristy positions and the discontinuation of large-scale food events such as the fall welcome lunch, spring picnic and holiday reception.

Dobson said students were surprised and disappointed upon hearing of these expected cuts, especially the elimination of varsity sports.

“General student reaction has just been complete shock, especially with the student-athletes,” she said. “We had no idea that it was even up in the air. It was extremely shocking, just because there was no prior knowledge. It makes it even harder and it is really sad, especially because we felt like this coming year was going to be our year for sports.”

MacDonald said even though he understands why students are upset, he hopes they will continue to find ways to be involved in the campus community.

“I am hoping that they will realize the value of an Ohio State degree and stick with it, even though they won’t have that opportunity to play varsity sports,” he said. “In the scheme of things, of course, we are looking at preserving the things that are most vital to student success. And in the scheme of things, varsity sports are just not that closely connected to the core of our mission.”

Knots from 1A

to balance the budgets for both OSU-Newark and the Central Ohio Technical College, which shares the campus.

The budget reduction plans are a necessity because of several economic factors related to the cost of tuition, MacDonald added.

“Part of the budget that we built this year (was) based on the assumption that we would have a 2 percent tuition increase, but of course, we didn’t increase tuition by 2 percent,” he said. “The university plugged that hole for all units. And so that helped us this year, so looking to next year, that was one-time money that is going to go away, so we have to cover that gap.”

In addition to this expense, which MacDonald said is approximately $290,000, another cost the school has to plan for is caused by the fact that fewer students are enrolling at COTC and that enrollment at OSU-Newark is predicted to remain relatively stagnant. “(COTC’s) enrollment has declined a little bit, our share of expenses will increase because our proportion of

opinion Anniversary of Lincoln’s death a time for reflection MICHELE THEODORE Managing Editor for Content theodore.13@osu.edu Everyone thinks it’s a joke when I open up my laptop and there’s a picture of Abraham Lincoln looking back at me sternly.

Honestly, it’s caused quite a few double takes in class. But it couldn’t be further from a joke.

Lincoln inspires me to do more and to be more, as ridiculous as that might sound.

I’ve never been extremely invested in politics, I’ve never been a huge history buff, and I’ve never been very invested in presidents. I’m just madly in love with the idea of Abraham Lincoln.

It all started when my sister was in middle school. At the time, I was in elementary school and I wanted to do everything she did exactly the way she did it.

She got an A on a report she wrote about Lincoln, so because I idolized her, I decided I’d learn everything I could about Lincoln.

It was kind of like when kids decide they’re really interested in dinosaurs or that they want to learn everything they could about their favorite princess. Abraham Lincoln was my thing. It consumed me.

A year later when my sister went to Washington, D.C., on a class trip, she brought me home a small statue of the Lincoln Memorial. It was probably the best present I’ve ever received.

I played with it with my Barbies (he would

always swoop in and save them from my ugly Ken doll) and carried it around with me.

For a while, that’s all it was. As I got older though, I put the little monument in a prominent spot on my shelves and when I went on my trip to D.C., I decided to learn more about Lincoln again.

And that’s when I fell in love with the idea of him all over again.

I say the idea of Abraham Lincoln because nobody’s perfect. Abolitionists accused him of being too complacent in anti-slavery actions, for example, and plenty of people criticized him for pushing the Emancipation Proclamation. I never met him and it’s impossible to know if I actually would have agreed with him if I had.

I also don’t think it’s healthy to idolize one person too much. What I do like is the idea of someone inspiring you to do more in your life, or the idea that someone could change the history of a country by refusing to give up.

This week marked the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination. It’s a week of remembrance for me. A week to reflect the things that Lincoln did — at the things he excelled at, and on his faults. On the final days before his death and all the controversial plans he had to reunite the country. On the importance of equality.

It’s a time to take a look at how far we’ve come as a country and how far we still have to go, and most importantly, it’s a time to push myself to be a better person by standing up for other people.

A print of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, shown on display at the National Portrait Gallery It’s hard to put into words why I love Abraham Lincoln. It’s hard to put into words what it even means to me. My friends have tried to figure it out by buying me Lincoln bandages that have a little quip that says “I will heal your wound as I healed a nation!”

But I think the best way to sum it up isn’t by trying to explain the significance of a man or by

using a bandage with his image on it. I think it’s in his own words.

“Die when I may,” he said, “I want it said of me by those who know me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower would grow.”

I hope I can do the same someday, Mr. Lincoln.

Lantern article’s reporting did not show objectivity Letter to the editor: I’m not sure which is more appalling, the fact that the House of Representatives is reducing student aid at a time when tuition is so high and an alternative to student loans clearly must be found, or that the journalism school from which I graduated has declined to the point that a story would reach the publication stage without removing the obvious signs that the source of the story is a press release from the party

opposed to the legislation. I’m referring to the article “GOP House budget seeks to freeze Pell Grant awards,” published online by The Lantern on March 26.

The House of Representatives did not become the “GOP House” when the voters of the United States elected a Republican majority. It was not the “Democratic House” before and I sincerely doubt that you would have ever referred to it as such. The bias of the original source is obvious as you read the body of the story in which no elected Republican is quoted and all quotes from

elected Democrats fail to identify them by party.

Taking a Democratic National Committee press release and printing it verbatim without even editing it for “objective” style, then intercutting it with quotes from two members of Democratic student organizations and two quotes from one member of a Republican student organization creates only the illusion of balance.

Again, I am opposed to reducing Pell Grants. In full disclosure, I received them when I attended the university and I am

fully aware of their necessity. But I am also painfully aware as a graduate of the School of Journalism (as it was called at the time) that journalists need to be objective even when covering stories in which they have a vested interest, because their own credibility is at stake. The next press release from that friendly source might not be as truthful as the last one you published.

2015 Ohio State Spring Game 5 players to watch on defense

5 players to watch on offense

james grega, jr.

Asst. Sports Editor grega.9@osu.edu

tim moody Sports Editor moody.178@osu.edu

With the Ohio State Spring Game just days away, there are still a few positions with vacancies.

Defensive linemen Michael Bennett and Steve Miller join linebacker Curtis Grant and cornerback Doran Grant as members of the OSU defense who will not return after the title run in 2014.

With that in mind, I took a look at five players you should watch in Saturday’s game to either replace the former Buckeyes or at least get some playing time in 2015 on the defensive side of the ball.

When it comes to the Ohio State offense, the bulk of discussion since the Buckeyes’ national title win in the College Football Playoff has centered around the quarterback competition.

But when OSU takes the Ohio Stadium field on Saturday for its annual Spring Game, redshirt-senior Braxton Miller and redshirtsophomore J.T. Barrett will both be sidelined while they recover from shoulder and ankle injuries, respectively. Of the signal callers with a chance to start, only redshirt-junior Cardale Jones will be fully available, and OSU fans already got a taste of what he can do during the Buckeyes’ three postseason games last year.

Jones will likely play the whole game, but more can be learned from watching the five players on offense listed below than from focusing on the known players like Jones and other returning starters.

1. Redshirt-sophomore cornerback Gareon Conley The Massillon, Ohio, native was the first person mentioned by cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs as the likely cornerback counterpart next to returning starter redshirtsophomore Eli Apple.

Conley earned one start in 2014 against the Michigan State Spartans, but after giving up big plays and a touchdown on the first drive of the game, was quickly replaced by a less-than-healthy Apple.

With a spot open after Doran Grant’s departure, it is likely that the spot will be filled by either Conley or sophomore Damon Webb.

Conley seemingly has the upper hand and a good showing in the Spring Game can only help his chances.

Redshirt-junior running back Bri’onte Dunn had just 9 carrries last season, but has been taking 1st-team reps this spring because junior Ezekiel Elliott is sidelined with a wrist injury.

1. Redshirt-junior running back Bri’onte Dunn Junior Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes’ undisputed starting running back, is nursing an injury of his own, and likely won’t be involved on Saturday.

Normally that would leave sophomore Curtis Samuel to take the keys in the OSU backfield, but at least two running backs will be featured prominently and Samuel will likely be playing H-back. So with Elliott’s primary backup catching passes from the slot, Dunn will have a chance to prove what he can do after seeing limited playing time early in his collegiate career.

Dunn made his mark on special teams last year after redshirting as a sophomore and playing minimally as a true freshman. Now he’s getting first-team reps in practice, and could earn a sizeable chunk of playing time with a big day at the ‘Shoe.

2. Sophomore cornerback Damon Webb While Webb is behind Conley for the corner spot, there is a good chance he will still see significant playing time in 2015 at the nickel position.

With Armani Reeves not returning because of health issues related to concussions, the nickel spot, which is usually reserved for passing downs, is wide open and it’s Webb’s job for the taking.

Webb must have the skill to play, as he did not redshirt last season behind players like Doran Grant, Reeves, Apple and Conley.

He appeared in nine games in 2014, and is sure to make an impact in 2015.

3. Sophomore linebacker Raekwon McMillan McMillan made an instant impact last season as a true freshman, collecting 54 total

Softball aims to control its own fate jackie hobson Lantern Reporter hobson.66@osu.edu With the Big Ten season coming down the home stretch, the Ohio State softball team wants to keep control of its own fate.

“The key will be to beat the teams we know we can,” senior outfielder Caitlin Conrad said before the Buckeyes swept Michigan State last weekend. “By doing this, we can put ourselves in position to get a better seed come tournament time.”

Conrad, one of four seniors on the squad, is currently among the hottest hitters on the team with a .394 batting average and is quickly approaching 40 runs batted in to complement her 35 runs scored so far this season.

“Caitlin has been the most consistent player for us all season,” coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly said before the team departed for East Lansing, Mich.

The Buckeyes scored a total of 29 runs against the Spartans, and have either scored or given up double digits 17 times this season.

Conrad said she believes the high-scoring affairs are new to Big Ten softball, changing the way she looks at scoring.

“It used to be that if you scored seven runs in a game, you would win,” Conrad said. “Now you need to score 12 or so just to be in the game.”

Sophomore linebacker Raekwon McMillan (5) finished 8th on the team with 54 tackles and added 2.5 sacks and an interception as Curtis Grant’s backup last season.

2. Redshirt-freshman quarterback Stephen Collier Jones will be the focus, but the opposite side will be quarterbacked by Collier.

He redshirted last year after being named the Southwest Georgia State Player of the Year in high school, but seems to be the odd man out when it comes to potential playing time. Collier is currently behind Jones, Miller and Barrett, and was a less-heralded recruit than Torrance Gibson and Joe Burrow, who are set to join the Buckeyes this fall.

Former Buckeye wrestling champ ‘comfortable’ after coming out giustino bovenzi Lantern Reporter bovenzi.3@osu.edu Revealing the most intimate information about oneself publicly is a pretty big deal.

That’s what was facing former Buckeye and 2008 Division I NCAA Champion wrestler Mike Pucillo when he announced that he was gay in a story by Jason Bryant on TheOpenMat.com.

Pucillo said he wasn’t quite sure how people were going to react. But a strong support system — his family, close friends and Ohio State family — made the decision a lot easier.

“To me, I was at a point to where I was comfortable with it,” Pucillo told The Lantern. “I was comfortable with the people that I told. I basically just wanted to let people know and try to help educate and help bring it to the forefront just because I think it’s important. I’m comfortable with it now.”

Since the story was published on March 27, Pucillo said he has received hundreds of messages on Facebook and phone calls offering him support and thanking him for stepping forward and opening up about his sexuality. One of those phone calls came from OSU vice president and athletic director Gene Smith.

sports Offense from 9A If he proves himself as a legitimate threat on Saturday, Collier still won’t be in this year’s race for playing time. But he could establish himself as a dependable backup down the line, or prove his worth as a potential starter should he decide to transfer.

3. Redshirt-senior offensive lineman Chase Farris The OSU offensive line returns four starters from 2014, and Farris has already all but locked up the right tackle position for 2015.

The former defensive lineman played a bit last year, but is approaching his first full season as a starter in his last year with the Buckeyes. He’ll have something to prove with a few younger players behind him in the pecking order who could challenge him for that spot later in the year.

With the other four starters already established, look for Farris to make a statement as a dominant force in Saturday’s exhibition.

4. Tie: Redshirt-freshmen wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell OSU wide receivers coach Zach Smith has

Wrestling from 9A “I called Mike right away on his cell,” Smith told The Lantern. “I was so proud of him and happy for him.”

Tom Ryan, coach of the OSU wrestling team, said he is happy Pucillo has the weight off his chest and wants him to be happy. Ryan also said had he known Pucillo was gay when he was recruiting him in high school, nothing would have changed.

“If I knew Mike was gay in high school, the level of wrestler he was, the type of person he was, the way he communicated with me, and his family — it’s not a decision that I would consider to be a decision,” Ryan said. “That’s just my thinking. It’s about wrestling, coaching and relationships, and that’s what it’s about.”

Pucillo said he was a little nervous about what people who read the story were going to say, but added that he has since changed his mind.

“If there was going to be a backlash from somebody on the outside, I don’t care,” Pucillo said. “I probably don’t even know you, and if I do know you, I probably don’t want to be friends with you anyway. To me, it’s more about educating and letting the people know as a 16-year-old or 17-year-old kid, you know, in high school or going into college is a pretty scary place for someone. Let them know, ‘Hey, you’re not the only one; there are other people that are in your shoes. It’ll be OK.’” Smith said the landscape of sports has

already said McLaurin and Campbell aren’t quite ready to be contributors on offense, but the Spring Game could be a chance to showcase their talents.

Both were four-star recruits coming out of high school, according to ESPN, and have a full year of practice with the Buckeyes under their belt. With Evan Spencer and Devin Smith both gone, OSU needs depth at receiver, and might give this young duo a look if one of them stands out.

5. Redshirt-junior running back Warren Ball Like Dunn, Ball hasn’t had a ton of impact as a Buckeye.

A three-star recruit who came to OSU as a hometown prospect, Ball has totaled just 31 carries for 161 yards in his collegiate career. Now he’s buried behind Elliott, Samuel, Dunn and possibly incoming freshman Mike Weber on the depth chart, and shouldn’t expect an increase in playing time this year.

This spring might be his last-ditch chance to make an impact as a Buckeye, or, like Collier, he could use a big day on Saturday to springboard a transfer to a smaller program.

evolved over the past few years when it comes to accepting gay players, and Pucillo said he agrees that it has improved over the past 10 years. But ultimately, Pucillo said he wants sports to be focused on the competition — not about sexual orientation.

“If you’re good at what you do, you’re good at what you do,” he said. “But the one thing I really want to stress is watch what you say. Because you never know how that affects somebody.”

He said locker room jokes and things that his friends would say, without knowing, made it difficult for him to be open about his sexuality.

Ryan said Pucillo should continue to be viewed as the champion that he is.

“Mike is a friend, he is a student-athlete, he’s a wrestler, he’s a son, and to me, he’s a child of a loving God, and I’m not in any position to judge. Nor do I feel anyone else is.

I think one judges — and that’s God,” Ryan said.

Pucillo said he felt a lone during his time as a wrestler at OSU, and often asked himself questions like, “Am I the only gay wrestler?”

“There is a point where it’s just kind of a lonely place,” Pucillo said. “So I just want people to know that there are other people out there that are like you. And if I can ease the fact that they know that, then I guess I did what I wanted to do.”

Smith said Pucillo isn’t the first openly gay athlete from OSU and certainly won’t

Defense from 9A tackles and playing in all but one game in 2014.

He is the odds-on favorite to take over for Curtis Grant at the middle linebacker position and could possibly be even better than the graduating senior.

McMillan was constantly subbed in for Curtis Grant on passing downs last season and was clearly the better athlete. Don’t expect him to get too much playing time on Saturday, but watch to see how he communicates with his teammates as the new signal caller on defense.

4. Senior defensive lineman Tommy Schutt Coach Urban Meyer said Monday that Schutt is currently the favorite to replace Bennett on the interior defensive line.

Not quite yet the starter, Schutt has struggled throughout his OSU career battling injuries along with a lack of playing time. He has accumulated just 17 total tackles in his first three years as a Buckeye.

The reason to watch him is not because

be the last, but none of that stuff matters to the university when it comes to athletics and education.

“Our athletics program is about people, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual preference. We’re about education; we’re about helping people become champions and growing as people,” Smith said. “The reality is, regardless of your socio-economic background, regardless of whether you came from a rural environment or an urban environment, whatever your sexual preference is — nothing, none of that stuff, whether you’re Protestant, Catholic or Jewish — doesn’t matter to us.”

Pucillo had a phenomenal career as a Buckeye wrestler, accumulating 107 wins, three All-American honors and the 2008 Division I National Championship at 184 pounds.

After graduation in 2010, he coached wrestling at OSU for a year, but got the itch to compete again. He started wrestling on the international level for about six months, he said. But neck injuries that lingered from his OSU wrestling days resurfaced, forcing him to move on from competition.

Pucillo still is involved with wrestling, however, as he teaches private wrestling lessons on occasion, but is now more focused on his career outside of the sport in the Columbus area. He said although his wrestling days are over, he would always keep the door open to coaching.

he is going to be an impact player in the Spring Game, but rather to see how he reacts to being on the cusp of earning a starting job.

5. Sophomore defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes Meyer said Monday that redshirtsophomore Tyquan Lewis is the frontrunner to replace Miller at defensive end, but Lewis will not play in the Spring Game because of a shoulder injury.

That opens the door for a player like Holmes, who came to OSU as a four-star prospect out of Norfolk, Va. Holmes played in nine games last season, including the national title win over Oregon, and accumulated 11 tackles in those appearances.

There is a good chance Holmes will play most of the game on Saturday, and a good showing could put make him a dark horse to unseat Lewis from the starting lineup.

Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m., and is set to follow the OSU lacrosse game against Maryland, which is set to start at 11 a.m. at Ohio Stadium.

“It’s always a possibility,” he said, “I’m kind of out of the wrestling world and into the business world, I guess now you would say. But, I don’t think I’d ever want to coach another college team other than Ohio State.

So I guess if there was one school I would go back and coach at, it would be Ohio State.”

Ryan said he is also open to the possibility, but within reason.

“If I felt he were the best guy for the job, I’d hire him in a second,” Ryan said.

When the initial public announcement via TheOpenMat.com was released, the OSU wrestling team was in the midst of celebrating the 2015 National Championship. Pucillo said he did not want to take anything away from them, preferring to stay out of the headlines until things calmed down for the wrestling program.

Now that things have returned to normalcy and the season has wrapped up, Pucillo said he wants to be a resource for athletes and people who are experiencing the same problems he did as a student athlete and invites them to reach out to him on his Twitter account, @MPucillo84.

“That was the biggest thing,” he said. “I wished, when I was in high school, there was somebody that I could have looked to. Just to know that they are not alone, if they need help or anything like that, I’d be happy to get them in contact with somebody that could probably help them.”

sports Troy Montgomery a ‘nightmare on the base paths’ KALEY RENTZ Lantern Reporter rentz.21@osu.edu “He’s a dynamic player on both sides of the ball. He can change the game with his speed, power and glove.”

That’s what senior pitcher Trace Dempsey had to say about the Ohio State baseball team’s sophomore outfielder, Troy Montgomery.

Montgomery has had a massive impact in the Buckeyes’ 24 wins and serves as a consistent player at bat with a .322 batting average. He has almost doubled his runs from last season with 31 on 39 hits and has more than quadrupled his 2014 stolen base total with 18 on 20 attempts this season.

“Montgomery’s a nightmare on the base paths for pitchers,” Dempsey said. “He’s really come through for us in the leadoff spot while making a lot of fantastic plays in the outfield to save us some runs.”

For the sophomore, the word “athlete” has always been a part of his life. But after beginning to play baseball at the age of three, his father encouraged him to pursue the sport more seriously at the age of eight.

“He really wanted me to play baseball, so I did and I love it,” Montgomery said. “My dad has been my biggest supporter my whole career and he pushed me the entire way.”

Starting in Fortville, Ind., as a young child in T-ball and working his way up through the Indiana Bandits and Indiana Bulls travel leagues, Montgomery said he didn’t become confident till late in his career.

“I really didn’t find myself in baseball till my sophomore year of high school. I got a little bit bigger and things just started to click for me,” Montgomery said.

Things have been consistently clicking for Montgomery since he went into his

freshman year at OSU as the No. 11 prospect according to the Prep Baseball Report. He played in 49 of the Buckeyes’ 58 games that season. Now in his second year in Columbus, Montgomery has earned the position as leadoff batter and continues to flourish on the field.

“He’s matured from last season. Troy Montgomery is a really talented kid,” coach Greg Beals said. “He’s got pop in his bat, he can run, he can play defense and he can throw. He may be the best professional

prospect on our team. He’s a fullpackage player, he has it all.”

Regardless of future potential, Montgomery said he’s focused on doing his part to help the Buckeyes win games.

“My job is to get on second base and steal bags,” he said. “My job is to be on second base and allow (Connor) Sabanosh, (Pat) Porter and (Ronnie) Dawson to score me at some point in the inning,” Montgomery said.

Beals said Montgomery is confident in his ability, but added he’s not a finished product.

“That’s a kid that’s learning the game, that’s understanding the game,” Beals said.

“And that’s the difference between playing hard and competing and right now he’s competing. He’s starting to figure out the little things that make a difference in how good you can be.”

Montgomery said success is all about “believing and trusting yourself, your hands and your swing to get the job done.”

But the main goal of winning games comes from a confidence and belief throughout the entire Buckeye roster and staff, he said.

“Our team chemistry is unreal right now.

People aren’t selfish, they’re going to work their hardest to get the job done for the team, to win as a team,” Montgomery said.

The 2015 Buckeyes set their goal this year at 40 wins, a Big Ten title and a shot in the NCAAs, and for Montgomery, the success of OSU comes from the Buckeyes’ preparation and teamwork.

“Preparation, working day in and day out, that’s how you find success,” Montgomery said. “You can’t win the game by yourself, baseball will not allow you to do that. So when you have a good group of guys that can back you, it makes everyone’s job so much easier.”

As the Buckeyes prepare for another Big Ten series this weekend against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Montgomery stressed the importance of focusing on the task at hand.

“We just have to continue to take one game at a time and know our roles in the box and know our roles on the field,” Montgomery said. “And just continue to click on all cylinders and trust ourselves to get the job done and get these three wins.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to travel to Lincoln, Neb., with the three games set for Friday at 7:35 p.m., Saturday at 3:05 p.m. and Sunday at 2:05 p.m.

Softball from 9A

and achieve their ultimate goal: making it to regionals in the NCAA Tournament.

“We need to keep winning in order to move up in the Big Ten standings,” senior pitcher Olivia O’Reilly said. “Doing this will put us in a position where we can make it to regionals.”

The Buckeyes hit the road to face Penn State for a doubleheader on Wednesday. The team lost, 7-6 in the first game before falling again, 11-6, in the nightcap. They are set to return home to face Rutgers over the weekend.

Despite getting the opportunity to play all over the country, Schoenly said she believes there is nothing like playing at home.

“I love to play at home,” Schoenly said.

“Of course it’s great to travel other places but

there is nothing like home. We love having fans come out to our games. Columbus has a really good softball community.”

With home in mind, Schoenly and the Buckeyes make it a point to travel and play in each woman’s hometown at least once during a player’s career as a member of the Scarlet and Gray.

“We have the opportunity to play all over the country,” Schoenly said. “So we try to travel to every girls’ hometown during their career.”

With 13 Ohioans on the team, eight of whom are from Central Ohio, playing at home can be that much more welcoming.

The Buckeyes’ series against Rutgers is set to start on Friday at 6 p.m. at Buckeye Field.

RYAN COOPER / Lantern Photographer

Sophomore outfielder Troy Montgomery leads OSU with a .322 batting average and 31 runs scored to go along with 18 stolen bases, and he hasn’t committed a single error on defense.

And scoring is what the Buckeyes have been doing lately.

To sweep Michigan State, OSU tallied six, eight and 15 runs, respectively, over the course of the three games. The 15-5 win on Sunday came in just five innings.

The sweep has the Buckeyes riding a four-game win streak entering a week when they will be facing both Penn State and Rutgers.

All five of those games, two against the Nittany Lions and three against the Scarlet Knights, are crucial for the Buckeyes (22-16, 6-6) to get better position in the conference

Fans make their Buckeye love permanent MCKenzie Merriman Lantern Reporter merriman.64@osu.edu Anna Holdren, a sixth-year studying history and political science, describes herself as the type of person to misplace small trinkets. When her mother offered to get her a class ring to commemorate her graduation this coming May, Holdren thought of something different.

“I don’t really plan on staying in Ohio … but I want to remember where I’ve felt at home,” Holdren said of her time at Ohio State. “And people get Ohio State tattoos and I realized that’s how I want to do that, and it would be really meaningful to me.”

The inspiration for Holdren’s OSU tattoo comes from her time spent as a student, working to become more educated.

Her current sketches for the tattoo involve a stack of books with history and political science on the spines, her two majors, with another book open to a page either with the Block “O” or a quote from “Carmen Ohio” written inside.

“I want to get it somewhere that it doesn’t show, not because of professionalism, but because it’s something that I did for myself,” Holdren said. “It’s going to be more of a personal thing.”

Christian Holstein, a fourth-year in marketing, has been a diver for the OSU team, and wanted to get a Block “O” tattoo that encompassed all the aspects of his life.

“Basically, it’s my life in one tattoo,” Holstein said of the three-dimensional Block “O,” which includes aspects of the peace symbol, a yin and yang sign and the USA diving logo.

“I plan on getting some musical notes down the Courtesy of Pila Manivong left side of the Block ‘O’ once I sign my first record Pila Manivong’s tattoo, which incorporates OSU deal,” said Holstein, who performs as a DJ under elements within an outline of the state of Ohio the name Fallsteeze.

Other OSU tattoos come from fans and community members beyond campus.

Pila Manivong was born and raised in Ohio, but travels a lot between Columbus and New York City for his acting career. He said he wanted something to take a little bit of home with him when he’s in New York, so during his most recent trip home, Manivong got his own Ohio state outline tattoo.

“At first I was just going to get the outline of Ohio state and when I got to the shop, I thought ‘I have a better idea,’” Manivong said of his process of designing the tattoo with his artist. “It popped in my head that I wanted to not only represent where I’m from, but also the college football that I love so much.”

The final product of Manivong’s tattoo includes scarlet and gray stripes, a buckeye leaf and the phrase “the heart of it all!”

A celebration of Indian culture, a celebration of life

An Indian dancer performs during the Utsav 2015 celebration outside of Fisher Hall on April 15. Utsav translates to ‘celebrating life,’ and the event consisted of Bollywood music, Indian dance performances, Indian food and entertainment.

Ohio Staters Inc. set to color Wex plaza with visual arts Sallee Ann Ruibal Asst. Arts Editor ruibal.1@osu.edu As Ohio State makes moves to create a more integrated arts district, student organization Ohio Staters Inc. looked into its archives for inspiration for Festival of the Finest.

“We have a room in the Union that (adviser) Cathy (Montalto) works to restore that contains a lot of artifacts from a bunch of different projects that we were doing,” said Victoria Alesi, a thirdyear in dance and event co-chair.

When looking in the room one day, Alesi found a program for the 2009 Festival of the Finest,

Thursday April 16, 2015

which showcased multimedia works en plein air.

It hasn’t been held since 2010, but this Friday, it’s back for a third year. The Festival of the Finest is set to take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Wexner Center for the Arts plaza.

Event co-chair Alex Biddle said the event will feature 50 artists displaying visual art. Live music and performances from organizations such as the Yoga Club and Jump Rope Club will also be held throughout the day.

The co-chairs also found application forms from 2009 in the storage room, which they then revamped into a online form, for students to submit their art.

“We asked what their majors and minors were and very few were in the art curriculum,” said

Biddle, a fourth-year in Spanish and international studies. “It’s a great medium for people to express themselves if they don’t have the chance to in their academia.”

Biddle also said that the festival hopes to expand what people consider art. Attendees will have the opportunity to write on chalkboards their answers to questions such as “How do you express yourself?” and “What does art mean to you?” People will also be able to create their own artwork in chalk in a square on the plaza.

“We’re more than just a football school and STEM programs,” Biddle said. “That seems to be a lot of what Ohio State is associated with, but there is really so much artwork and art just in general taking place here.”

A student organization hopes to bring a bit of Coachella Valley, Calif., to Columbus this weekend.

MCoachella is a two-day outdoor music festival hosted by the Musicians’ Collective at Ohio State, or MCo, that’s set to take place at Browning Amphitheater beside Mirror Lake. This year, the event will feature 17 bands made up mostly of OSU students, and MCo president Arthur Broadstock said he is excited about the opportunity.

“It’s just a great way for students here to get to see fellow students doing something creative and showcasing their musical talents while enjoying the outdoors and our awesome campus,” said Broadstock, a fourth-year in biochemistry.

MCo is an open club with a purpose, Broadstock said, to “give people a place to share music and collaborate, and even form their own bands.”

Because there has been an influx of bands from previous years, this is the first year that MCoachella will take place over two days.

“Having two days for performers is going to make a big difference, especially in the amount of people we get to come out. There’s usually a lot of people walking by the amphitheater on the weekends, so being out both Friday and Saturday will give more people a chance to stop,” said Marcelo Fracchia, MCo vice president and third-year in marketing.

The performing bands are made up mostly from students involved with MCo, and music genres will range from folk to rap to ska.

“Nearly the entire spectrum of modern music will be covered in these two

D’Elia, other Bieber roast comedians set for OSU show Daniel Bendtsen Arts Editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu Last month, they were roasting Justin Bieber, and next week, they’ll be on the stage again — this time at Ohio State.

Stand-up comedians Chris D’Elia, Jeff Ross and Brent Morin are scheduled to perform at the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom at the Ohio Union on April 23 in an event sponsered by the Ohio Union Activites Board.

D’Elia has been a fixture in the Los Angeles comedy scene over the past few

years, earning several Comedy Central specials. Since 2014, he’s also starred the NBC sitcom “Undateable” and has a new special set to premiere on Netflix on Friday.

He’ll be joined by Ross, who has become best known for his appearances on Comedy Central roasts, and Morin, who also stars with D’Elia on “Undateable.”

The upcoming event follows other OUAB shows this year with Comedy Central comedians, including Key and Peele, the stars of Broad City and Hannibal Buress.

The show with D’Elia is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. — OUAB has yet to release ticket information.

Play from 1A

Permanent from 13A

Denney’s Players, the department’s theater group, is also involved in the production.

“Every aspect of the play involves students,” Hamlin said. This includes both graduate and undergraduate students, and staff and faculty are involved as well.

The students of Special Topics in Shakespeare have studied different plays by Shakespeare, but have studied “Richard II” extensively, said Kristen Gramajo, a fourthyear in English and psychology who is on the production’s promotional team.

The actors of the production are devoting about 16 hours per week, while others devote approximately 10 hours, she said.

Although being part of the production has been time-consuming, Patrick Esguerra, a third-year in English, said he’s benefited from his role promoting the play.

“Just hearing the process of how we’re going to put our own spin on the process, it makes me appreciate how difficult the director and playwright’s job can be,” Esguerra said.

Gramajo said she felt she benefited differently.

“I wasn’t the biggest fan of Shakespeare because I found it difficult to understand, but immersing myself in the production, I find it easier to understand Shakespeare and the way it was meant to be done,” she said.

While Rogers has an unusual role in the production, she said she feels honored to have the role.

“I was stunned when they offered it. It’s just a really awesome opportunity,” Rogers said.

The play will be held Friday, Saturday and April 23-24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Columbus Performing Arts Center. The first two will involve a deposition, while the last two will not, Gramajo said.

The deposition involves another scene of the play, which Rogers said she feels gives the play an entirely different feeling.

It’s not unheard of for OSU football fans to celebrate their favorite team by getting some ink.

Noah Jay, a 19-year-old insurance agent and Columbus resident, said he has hopes of attending OSU in the future for criminal justice.

In addition to being a dedicated fan of OSU wrestling, Jay said he knew he wanted to pay homage to OSU football in the form of a tattoo.

While browsing college football-themed tattoos on the Internet, Jay came across a half-sleeve tattoo dedicated to the University of Michigan Wolverines. This University of Michigan tattoo inspired the design of Jay’s OSU tattoo of a football helmet and a Block “O.” His advice to fellow Buckeyes and fans considering an OSU tattoo: “If you have extreme pride in the best school in this country, then go for it.”

days,” said project developer Cameron Carr, a second-year in journalism. “Whether you’re into indie or electronica or really anything else, you’re bound to hear something you’ll like.”

Broadstock said the music this year will be better than in the past because many of the bands have now been together for a number of years.

“These guys have turned into some of the most talented people we’ve seen in years, and being able to have witnessed their growth is something special, especially when they get to share it with hundreds of their OSU peers,” he said.

MCo members have been promoting MCoachella by hanging up flyers in residence halls, as well as chalking on the Oval.

“I just know that people will love it if they come. It’s a very ‘by students, for students’ type of thing, which I think is important,” Broadstock said. “It’s an amazing chance to witness creativity. And who doesn’t love music outside on a nice day?”

MCoachella performances will begin at Browning Amphitheater at 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is free.

Washington Post says yoga pants going out of style Lantern reporters debate the merits of the stretchy slacks

AGAINST

HANNAH HERNER For The Lantern herner.12@osu.edu I imagine there must have been a day when yoga pants were reserved for yoga.

So many girls on campus wear yoga pants/leggings/capris now that you would think it was some kind of uniform.

Aren’t we all about individuality here?

Why is everyone dropping their hardearned dough on Victoria’s Secret or Lululemon leggings so they can look like everyone else?

Beyond that, you have to be concerned about VPL (visible panty line), so people can’t see your underwear, and sheerness of fabric, so people don’t see your actual a--.

Speaking of, a draw to Spandex bottoms is that they supposedly make your backside look good. And the truth is, everyone’s a-- would look 10 times better with pockets on it.

One could say, “I’m not concerned how they look but they are so comfyyy.”

To that I say, since the invention of the stretch jean, there are pants that are just as comfortable. Think of your

ancestors who lived in a time where a jean-Spandex blend didn’t exist!

The problem with all the give that yoga pants provide is that I can eat an obscene amount of food without feeling the pressure of my pants on my stomach, leaving me feeling very regretful about three pieces of pizza later.

Wearing a pajama-like bottom is conducive to sleep. If you’re at all prone to falling asleep in class, yoga pants are downright dangerous.

Another excuse for wearing yoga pants is self-proclaimed laziness. In reality, it takes the same amount of energy to put on jeans and a top and you look infinitely better and you feel better too, because nobody feels pretty in yoga pants . If you look good, then you feel good, and if you feel good, you perform well, and if you perform well, you succeed.

Don’t let yoga pants get in the way of your success.

FOR

EILEEN MCCLORY Design Editor mcclory.10@osu.edu I recently ripped a pair of jeans. When my mom asked me if I had enough pairs now, I looked at her like she was crazy.

I don’t wear jeans. They don’t fit me well. I have that problem where the legs are too tight and my waist gaps in the back. Even the Levi’s Supreme Curve jeans don’t fix that problem.

But yoga pants do fix it.

That’s exactly why it’s so unfair that they’re going out of style, or so says The Washington Post.

Sarah Halzack, a retail reporter for the Post, wrote an article last week proclaiming yoga pants were going out of style, partly because it’s becoming common for children to wear leggings and yoga pants.

Excuse me?

There is a picture of me in 1997, when I was 3 years old, and I am wearing bright red leggings. Children wearing leggings isn’t a new trend.

The reason leggings and yoga pants are so good for little kids — the reason I like them so much today — is that

they’re easy to move around in when you’re wearing them. Unlike my jeans, my leggings have never ripped when I bend over.

Unlike sweatpants, leggings aren’t heavy, so it’s easy to run in them. Sweatpants are also harder to dress up when you want to leave your house and look human .

Sure, yoga pants are fairly revealing and they don’t look professional. If anything, that’s why they would go out of fashion: They’re meant to be worn with a long shirt so they cover all the parts that aren’t acceptable to be on display. That doesn’t actually happen all that often, but it’s good to pretend.

But I don’t see a reason why college students shouldn’t keep wearing yoga pants and leggings to class, to study and to hang out with their friends. The choice is no longer between jeans and sweatpants, but something in between.

OPINION

California corgis outweigh negatives in pop culture news SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Asst. Arts Editor ruibal.1@osu.edu This is part of a weekly series called “Pop Opinions” where The Lantern offers its take on the week’s pop culture news.

California corgis, they’re undeniable Two years ago, my family got a second corgi. That’s when we learned that doubling the amount of corgis increases General Corgi Energy (unit of measurement is a “corg”) exponentially. My two, Lucy and Little Ricky, constantly do Doggy Nascar, chasing each other in laps around the house. They pounce and knock each other off the couch, steal treats, steal my food, slobber and tease, all with goofy grins on their faces. They drive me crazy in the best of ways.

I would go absolutely insane at this year’s Corgi Beach Day 2015.

More than 500 corgis descended onto Orange County’s

Huntington Beach this past Saturday. They donned bikinis and Go Pro cameras. InstaFamous Corgis had meet and greets where they gave out “pawtographs.” Listicles chronicling the day popped up all over the Internet. In Dog World, Corgi Beach Day was like the meeting launching Jay Z’s new streaming service, Tidal — the best of the best.

‘Rocky’ remake is a horror We should definitely not do the “Time Warp” again.

Earlier this week, it was announced that for the 40th anniversary of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Fox will remake the cult classic into a two-hour TV special.

As if the “Glee” rendition wasn’t painful enough.

The “Rocky” special will be directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega. Name sound familiar? Ortega was also director and choreographer for “High School Musical.”

The only thing those two have in common is that neither is really great on the small screen.

“Rocky Horror” gets its life from independent movie theaters that

TEACHERS

show it at midnight. Watching it on the couch is nothing compared with dressing up as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and yelling snarky remarks along with a real-life audience.

But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is the start of something new…

Centipede is the new black In the past week, trailers for “Human Centipede 3” and the third season of “Orange is the New Black” were released.

“Orange is the New Black” follows “Dandelion” Piper Kerman’s journey through the corrections system. She gets a little roughed up along the way by inmates and prison guards, but all in all, it shows that everyone has a story before they get behind bars.

In “Human Centipede 3,” a prison guard somehow gets the privilege to sew inmates end to end in the longest “centipede” in the movie franchise’s history.

Both are third installments. Both take place in prison. Both involve very little personal space. But both involve gobbling on another’s nether-regions — but in very different ways.
