President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited Columbus on Friday for official business, sparking controversy about taxpayer dollars used to fund his trip in the very city that is suing the Trump administration. Trump initially planned a political trip to Columbus to speak at the annual state dinner of the Ohio Republican Party, as well as a fundraiser for Jim Renacci, a Republican congressman from Wadsworth who is challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown. In a change of events, the Trump administration penciled in a visit to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive and Intermediate Care Unit. Trump’s visit to Nationwide made his trip official business, which allowed the administration to defray some costs of the trip by using taxpayer money. An official trip by the president, meaning a trip that falls within the duties of the office, are covered by taxpayers. However, a political trip, one where the president takes part in partisan activities, is not covered by taxpayers. This action is not unusual for presidents. The Reagan administration originally established the rules for political and official trips. Since then, the rules have been used by many presidents to lessen the expenses of travel and get more business done. Former President Barack Obama came under scrutiny for the issue while campaigning for his second term in office in 2012. Critics of Trump were not only mad about the financial issue of Trump’s visit to Nationwide Hospital prenatal intensive care unit, but also what they perceive as the hypocrisy of the move. City At-

Strauss’ clinic lured students with local ads EDWARD SUTELAN Editor-in-Chief sutelan.1@osu.edu Dr. Richard Strauss opened a private clinic in Columbus in August 1996 just 12 days after he finished working at Ohio State Student Medical Services. However, even though Strauss was not regularly treating Ohio State students, he still had access to them. Advertisements for “Men’s Clinics of America” ran in several issues of The Lantern, according to the student newspaper’s archives. He also ran ads over local radio, said Brian Garrett, a former nursing student who worked at Strauss’ clinic. The advertisement in The Lantern described his clinic as offering “prompt treatment of common genital/urinary problems,” as well as providing examinations for rashes, lumps, pain/burning, checkups, testing, sexually transmitted diseases and “answers to questions.” It said the clinic had experienced doctors, a male staff and “strict medical confidentiality.” University Provost Bruce McPheron said during the Audit & Compliance Committee meet-

ing on June 7 that investigators had learned about the clinic and knew there were acts of sexual misconduct alleged to have occurred there. The independent investigation, led by the Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie, has been looking into the hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse against Strauss, who died by suicide in 2005, and whether the university knew about the acts and allowed it to happen. McPheron said the Columbus clinic is part of the investigation because Ohio State students were reportedly treated and abused by Strauss while there. In the advertisement, it said there was a student discount. However, Garrett said when an Ohio State athlete would come in, Strauss would tell Garrett and the other employees that the athlete would receive free treatment and that the treatment was to be kept “off the record.” Garrett said that through those advertisements, he would not only get students to seek treatment, but also to help to run the clinic. “The crazy thing was, is he got OSU students — current OSU students — to run it, help him run it,” Garrett said. “But then he,

Small bodies of water, big problems: harmful algae producing toxins ANNA RIPKEN Lantern reporter ripken.2@osu.edu Lake Erie and other large recreational bodies of water are no longer the only areas of concern when it comes to harmful algae. Smaller lakes and ponds, especially in agricultural areas, are being affected by toxins released from harmful algae, causing alarm for not only human and animal health, but biodiversity and the ecosystem, according to a recent study by an Ohio State research team. The study, led by Jiyoung Lee, an associate professor of environmental health sciences at Ohio State’s College of Public Health, analyzed 24 samples over a threemonth period in 2015. Ten of the sites were found to have high levels of toxins. Contributors to the study included Siobhan Fennessy and Joan Slonczewski of Kenyon College, who collected the water samples, and Igor Mrdjen, one of the authors who graduated from Ohio State this year. Toxins from algae can affect people through ingestion, inhalation or direct contact, resulting in skin rashes, intestinal problems and damage to the liver, Lee said. However, she said a larger problem exists. “It’s beyond that sort of toxin issue,” Lee said. “We found that predominance of bacteria affects trophic level, so it really affects biodiversity and ecosystem health. It affects the next level of biological organisms.” The bacteria to which Lee is referring are the algae, and trophic level refers to the levels in the ecosystem in which organisms reside. “We can see this cascading effect, so bacterial bloom can affect another group, and it can affect the food chain,” Lee said. “Trophic level balance can be shifted and maybe broken.” The existence of an algal bloom means there is too much harmful algae present. And in these agricultural areas, the harmful algae reach toxic levels because of tile drainage — a process farmers use in crop production by which plastic piping runs below the surface — carrying

excess water and its nutrients to the water. “Ohio is a water-rich state,” Lee said. “So, sometimes in the soil, [the crops] have a little too much moisture, so it’s not good for your crop production.” The nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, become harmful when they reach the algae. Lee’s interest in smaller lakes and ponds stemmed from the fact that routine monitoring typically focuses on larger bodies of water, such as Lake Erie. She said more education and communication is needed so lakes and ponds get the necessary attention from academia, researchers and state agencies. One lake in the study, which is privately owned by a farm, caught attention because it contained bacteria concentrations 800 times above recreational state guidelines, Seungjun Lee, co-author of the study and a post-doctoral researcher in environmental health sciences at the College of Public

this kind of form can be seen all over the world. Jiyoung Lee said farmers have been managing their runoff by adding buffers to the edge of the farm fields, as well as taking conditions into account while applying fertilizer. “So they use the right type of nutrient at the right amount at the right location at the right timing. It’s called the ‘Four R’s.’ That’s kind of what the state of Ohio promotes for our farmers,” Jiyoung Lee said. “Obviously, we need fertilizer for our crop production, but we don’t want to use it excessively.”

torney Zach Klein told The Columbus Dispatch Trump visiting a hospital that saves lives with help from the Affordable Care Act is “outrageous.” The outrage lies within the Trump administration’s actions against the Affordable Care Act, the Obama-era program that provides families and children with affordable health care. Nationwide Children’s Hospital in particular is primarily used to treat babies who are born with an opioid addiction, an urgent problem Ohio is battling. “Right now in Ohio, 200,000 people are getting opioid treatment because they have insurance under the Affordable Care Act,” Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown said in a speech to the City Club of Cleveland in April. In 2017, Ohio expanded Medicaid under Obamacare due to Gov. John Kasich’s actions. “It’s pretty disturbing when elected officials who get really good health care paid for by taxpayers, whether it’s a congressman or a president, they have spent most of their time in office trying to take health care away

He also said Strauss was a parttime physician in student health services from July 1, 1994 until Aug. 7, 1996, but was a professor emeritus at Ohio State until he retired on July 1, 1998.

in Larkins Hall — the old recreational facility at the university — by Strauss and was asked about working for him at the clinic. His friend then informed Garrett and another friend about the offer, all of whom accepted. While Garrett said he is not certain other students were abused, Garrett said he was abused by Strauss. He said after complaining of heartburn, Strauss told him to lie down on the exam table. He said Strauss began by pushing on Garrett’s stomach, but then removed his pants and began to closely examine his genitals. After five to 10 minutes, Garrett said he left and never returned to the clinic. Garrett said this had come the same day he was asked to sit in on one of Strauss’ exams of an Ohio State athlete. He described in graphic detail the abuse he witnessed Strauss commit on the athlete. “I just asked him if I had heart-

burn,” Garrett said, referring to the abuse committed against him by Strauss. “And then shortly after that — I never told anybody — I was like I can’t do this anymore.” The setup of the clinic was unusual compared with most others, Garrett said. The phones were forwarded to the apartments of Garrett and his friends when patients would try to call and schedule appointments, and that “people coming into the office had to be kept secret from the people leaving the office,” Garrett said. “Anytime the phone would ring, we would have to say, ‘Men’s Clinic of America’ and the person would say, ‘Hey, I’m trying to get an appointment for this,’” Garrett said. “And we would write down the appointments and we would tell him how many people called in.” According to documents obtained from the Ohio secretary of state’s office, Strauss’ compa-

Ohio State is scheduled to provide another update on the Strauss investigation at 10 a.m. during Thursday’s Audit & Compliance Committee meeting. Athletes from 14 different sports have been interviewed and over 200 former students and staff members have talked with investigators about Strauss, the university said in a release on July 20. There are more than 100 former students and student-athletes believed to have been abused by Strauss while he was at the university, and investigators are also looking into whether he abused high school students. The university urges anyone with information pertaining to the investigation to contact investigators at osu@perkinscoie.com.

Columbus Greek festival ends summer with taste of culture ISABEL HALL Lantern reporter hall.2220@osu.edu With a variety of Greek food, vendors and cultural experiences, the Columbus Greek Festival gives a Mediterranean flare to an end-of-summer celebration. During Labor Day weekend, the Columbus Greek Festival will welcome approximately 30,000 guests who are looking to “experience a taste of Greek culture and heritage” to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, according to festival spokesman John Bizios. “Everything that a visitor coming to the festival will experience has a strong ethnic tie,” Bizios said. “The guest will experience Greece and the culture of Greece without having to fly there.” According to public relations and marketing chairperson Stacey Stathulis, the top cultural draw to the festival is the Greek food the members of Annunciation Cathedral make by hand. “We start in June and make food all summer long,” Stathulis said. “It’s some of the best Greek food you’ll find in Columbus.” Other activities at the festival include traditional Greek folk dances — which viewers can learn themselves after the performance — Greek folk COURTESY OF COLUMBUS GREEK FESTIVAL music and guided cathedral tours.

Columbus-based band Saintseneca to hold album-release concert at Wexner Center MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu

Zac Little, lead singer of folk-rock band Saintseneca, are set to celebrate the release of their new album “Pillar of Na” on Aug. 31 at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Saintseneca lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Zac Little — along with his bandmates at the time — came to Ohio State in 2007 to study sculpture. While enrolled, he thought he would go on to become a teacher or professor, but his passion for music led him down a different path. Now, Little and his folk-rock band Saintseneca are set to celebrate the release of their upcoming album, “Pillars of Na,” with a concert at the Wexner Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. Friday. The concert will be the first stop on their upcoming tour. “Pillars of Na,” Little said, is a layered album. He said it’s about memories — personal memories of being in the band for 10 years, of living in the city and of times with his friends. But, the layers run deeper. “[It’s also] like a much bigger existential idea of what memory means as the collective memory of people in general,” Little said. “The way that we transmit our stories into the future and the way people have done that in the past.” The band was originally formed by Little and former members Steva Jacobs and Luke Smith in their hometown in southeast Ohio, where Little said they leaned more toward the rock side. However, after the band moved to Columbus due to its members attending Ohio State, Little said it had to tone down its musical style. “Given that we couldn’t be loud anymore, we were practicing in my little apartment,” Little said. “We channeled our rock band vibe into something more of a bluegrass band.” While the group later added violinist Grace Chang to create the first full lineup of Saintseneca, Little said after around four years, the band’s other members moved on from the band. Even so, Little gathered other local and non-local musicians to join. SAINTSENECA CONTINUES ON 5

SAINTSENECA FROM 4

“As people cycled out, other people joined — Maryn Jones, Steve Ciolek from Sidekicks — and it’s just been sort of been a rotating cast ever since,” Little said. “We got people in Indiana, people in Baltimore, people in Florida, got people in Philadelphia, we’re kind of spread out. [But] I would consider us a Columbus band.” Lane Czaplinski, director of performing arts at the Wexner Center, said local bands are what the Wexner Center is looking for. “In moving to Columbus, I’ve been really impressed by the energy of the local music scene, and I feel like that’s really exemplified by Saintseneca and their following,” Czaplinski said. In terms of Saintseneca’s “record release party,” Czaplinski said he wants students to attend because being at Ohio State and listening to local bands can enrich a student’s experience. “I hope that there are a lot of artists in the room and even students in the room who end up being inspired by the fact that somebody who lives here is making music and performing it at such a high level,” Czaplinski said. As for Little, he’s not trying to impart any specific message for those who hear his music. Saintseneca’s frontman said he just hopes it resonates with the people and can project their own experiences into the music. “The best thing you can hope for is that when you’re making something, is that it’s as a way of cultivating some level of intimacy between people,” Little said. Tickets for the concert are $12 for students and Wexner Center members and $15 for the general public. They can be purchased at www.wexarts.org.

OSU undefeated going into Rebel Invitational MIRANDA LIPTON Lantern reporter lipton.17@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s volleyball team is heading into its second series of the season Friday and Saturday after kicking off the season undefeated through three games. The squad will head to Oxford, Mississippi, to play Southern Mississippi and Ole Miss on Friday and Samford in the Rebel Invitational on Saturday. “It’s a really good tournament,” head coach Geoff Carlston said. “You’re going to get three really different looks, three styles and three coaches who know what they’re doing. We won’t be in Saint John’s, so embracing that trip is something we’ve talked a lot about. We’re excited.” After the opening weekend, Southern Miss holds a 3-0 record, with Ole Miss and Samford at 2-1. Ohio State sophomore middle blocker Lauren Witte, was named co-Big Ten Player of the Week on Monday. Witte hit .636 during opening season and scored 48 points, 37 kills and 12 blocks with only one error, a number that Carlston deemed “unheard of.” “Every team was worried about her,” Carlston said. “They were focused on stopping her and she still was able to be effective. When everyone knows that it’s coming and you can still play with the maturity that she played with; I think that’s the most impressive thing.

Witte said she hopes to focus on better exemplifying all of these traits throughout the season. “Being a sophomore, I’ve been here for a year and know how the team and the Big Ten works,” Witte said. “At this point, I think it’s most important for me to have a constant core presence, leadership and skill-wise, that other teams are going to notice and worry about.” The team values their “culture playbook,” a set of rules and beliefs that they are all fully behind, with Witte crediting it for her mindset this season. “‘Trust the process’ is one of my favorites,” Witte said. “It’s easy to see the end goal. Obviously we want to win a national championship, but we have to realize that each practice is progressive and if we are getting better each day small bit by small bit, in the end it will pay off.” Having just come out of the Buckeyes’ first series, there is time and room for improvement. Carlston said he aims to focus on playing around with the rotations more, and building more aggressive serving. Witte and Carlston both look forward to the ongoing transition of the four freshmen on the team, a process that they both noted has been smooth and enjoyable so far. The team will face Southern Miss on Friday at 1 p.m., Ole Miss on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Samford on Saturday at REBECCA FARAGE | FORMER LANTERN REPORTER 12:30 p.m. Members of Ohio State women’s volleyball team celebrate a point scored against No. 2 Penn State on Oct. 6, 2017.

Ohio State eyes dominance against Oregon State WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Following a summer full of investigations and allegations surrounding head coach Urban Meyer and former assistant coach Zach Smith, the Ohio State football team opens its 2018 season at home against Oregon State. Ohio State starts the season ranked No. 5 in the AP poll, making the Buckeyes the second-highest ranked team in the Big Ten, trailing only No. 4 Wisconsin. The Buckeyes return following a 12-2 record last season, winning the Big Ten Championship and earning a Cotton Bowl victory over USC after missing the College Football Playoff. Through the offseason, the offthe-field allegations and controversy surrounding the program, junior defensive end Nick Bosa said it is all being used as motivation. “Hate always drives you, and when people are hating, then you just want to prove them wrong even more,” Bosa said. “We’re excited to go prove that we’re the same team.” While Ohio State hopes to prove it is the same team that found success a season ago, Oregon State comes into its opener trying to prove the exact opposite. The Beavers finished last season with a 1-11 record, the program’s worst record since finishing 1980 winless. Oregon State’s only win came by a field goal to FCS opponent Portland State. Following that victory against the Vikings, Oregon State dropped its next 10 games, failing to win a single game in the Pac12, including a 38-10 defeat to USC.

JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

The Ohio State football team takes the field for the 2018 Spring Game at Ohio Stadium between Team Scarlet and Team Gray.

The Beavers allowed 43.0 points per game, the third most in the nation, while scoring only 20.7 per game, the 17th fewest in the nation. Among all the weaknesses, the biggest came in the Beavers’ rush defense. Oregon State allowed 235.8 rush yards per game, giving up 35 touchdowns on the ground. Both numbers were in the bottom 10 in the NCAA rankings. Oregon State’s hopes come in the hiring of Jonathan Smith at head coach. Smith was the quarterbacks coach at Washington for the past four seasons, helping se-

nior quarterback Jake Browning earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors and become an O’Brien award semifinalist each of the past two seasons. Acting head coach Ryan Day has praised Smith, and said he is expecting a defense very similar to one of the top teams in the Big Ten. “Jonathon comes over and obviously has had a great career and he’s going to come in with a lot of energy,” Day said. “They’re going to be instituting that Wisconsin system of some three-down, some four-down, and they’re very, very

aggressive.” Senior quarterback Jake Luton will start under center for the Beavers. The 6-foot-7 quarterback started the first four games last season for Oregon State before going down with a back injury, completing more than 61 percent of his passes in his four starts.

Prediction Running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber should take advantage of one of the weakest run defenses from last season. This will make redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins’ first collegiate start a more manageable one, where he can control the tempo and play more relaxed. If the weak run defense isn’t enough, Oregon State also was tied for the sixth-worst turnover margin in 2017, ending at minus-14. With junior defensive end Nick Bosa, redshirt junior defensive tackles Dre’Mont Jones and Robert Landers and a rotation of sophomore defensive end Chase Young and junior defensive end Jonathon Cooper on the other side, there will be mistakes made by this Beavers’ offense under a new head coach. Day said he does not see this game as his head coaching debut. He is simply filling in for Meyer while he is serving his threegame suspension. “This isn’t one of those things where I’m becoming the head coach,” Day said. “This is just something that I’m holding the place for coach until he gets back and the goal is to win the game against Oregon State.” Whether it was going to be Day or Meyer on the sidelines, it wouldn’t have mattered.

side of Bosa this season. In Joey Bosa’s final year for the Buckeyes, both defensive ends Tyquan Lewis and Sam Hubbard found success while Bosa was double-covered, accounting for 14.5 sacks to Bosa’s five. Nick Bosa could see a similar drop in stats this season, but said it is not a worry in his mind. “My No. 1 goal is to win a national championship, and, however we get there, I know I’m going to be a contributing factor if I’m out there,” Bosa said. “I’m not dying to get big numbers, I want to make plays and help my team that way.” Whether or not Nick Bosa gets double-teamed this season, this could be the year that he is in control, after the Buckeyes lost players like Hubbard and Lewis to the NFL Draft this offseason. With the anticipation higher than ever and the pressure to perform at its peak, Nick Bosa, a newly named captain for Ohio State, is ready to play. When asked how many snaps he is expecting this season, Bosa kept it simple. “However many I can handle.”

were focused on getting to and securing downfield passes. As he ran more reps with the first-team offense, Haskins not only improved his physical ability, but, in the opinion of the wide receiver room, improved his leadership ability and gained confidence both in and out of the huddle. “It starts with him just getting confidence and that’s him making plays,” Campbell said. “Just in the huddle, being loud over the play calls, being definitive in everything he says and does. I think that’s his style right now, not one of the guys that will get in your face, but one that can take control of the offense.” Redshirt senior wide receiver Terry McLaurin said he has seen

a lot of growth from the redshirt sophomore quarterback over the course of preparing for the 2018 season. In McLaurin’s opinion, Haskins is in that phase of using his physical attributes to become what Ohio State expects out of its starting quarterback. “He’s come in really gaining that respect from everybody, not only as a player, but as a person. It’s a work in progress,” McLaurin said. “Obviously, he has to translate what he has done in camp to the field, but I’m really impressed from where he started in the summer training now that he’s becoming one of the leaders on the team.”

NICK BOSA following footsteps of older brother

to his brother since his college career began, and his junior season will be no exception. In Joey Bosa’s final year at Ohio State, he often faced double teams from opponents, lowering his stats from his first-team All-American season in 2014 and allowing for other players on the defensive line to make plays. When asked if he expects a similar situation this year, Nick Bosa said if teams decide to double-team him, it will be a mistake.

WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Nick Bosa faced high expectations before even touching the field at Ohio State. A five-star prospect ranked No. 8 nationally in the class according to the 24/7 Sports composite rankings, Bosa was already antic-

ipated to be a future star for the Buckeyes on statistics alone. However, more than any ranking ever did, Bosa’s brother, Joey, a two-time All American, No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, made Nick the most hyped up defensive player that Ohio State has had in recent memory. In an interview with NFL Network in January, Joey Bosa said

he never felt he had to give his younger sibling any tips for the college game. “He really doesn’t need any help. He’s an absolute monster. I think he’s light years ahead of any spot I ever got to in college,” Joey Bosa said. “Once he gets his full reign this year, people will understand what he’s capable of, which is, it’s going to be pretty scary to

watch.” In his two seasons for the Buckeyes, Nick Bosa, a junior defensive end, has proved worthy of the hype his brother Joey had continued to give. Now, a season removed from being named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, the expectations are higher than ever. Nick Bosa has been compared

“I think right off the bat, with all the hype that people are making up about me ... I’ll probably get the double teams and the chips and stuff like that,” Nick Bosa said. “But once Chase [Young] is coming off the other edge and Dre’Mont [Jones] is on the other side rushing three-tick, if they slide to me, then it’s just going to be a sack.” Young, a sophomore defensive end, was named a co-starter along with junior Jonathon Cooper, and will be given a chance to take advantage of being on the opposite BOSA CONTINUES ON 7

Receivers see leader in Haskins COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu

Ohio State redshirt senior Parris Campbell thinks he should be one of the best wide receivers in the country this season. “That’s not me being cocky, that’s not me being bold,” Campbell said. “I’m humbly saying I should, just the skill set that I have.” After a year in which he said he showed what he could do with the ball in his hands, but considered his play average, Campbell said he wants to be elite, he wants to be the best, but he has some things to improve on. Success for Campbell, and the veteran receiver room to which he is a part, does not only fall on the shoulders of the players under wide receivers coach Brian Hartline. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who will make his first collegiate start on Sept. 1 against Oregon State, has a part to play. Despite having three captains in the receiver room heading into the 2018 season, Haskins is viewed the way the starting quarterback is usually viewed: the offensive leader. In Campbell’s experience, there is a point when a younger player with high expectations takes a step forward in terms of leadership and growth. For the redshirt senior, he saw that in Haskins during the second week of fall camp. “Honestly, I can say Dwayne, in that week, even from the beginning, he just wanted to open up, become that leader, and I think that second week is when you actually seen that,” Campbell said. “He took more control in the huddle. He was just more aggressive with his leadership.” When talking about the new quarterback heading into the season, many conversations start by praising his physical ability. Campbell said Haskins’ deep ball accuracy, as well as the power behind his throws, gives the offense an advantage heading into the season.

Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins (7) prepares to throw the ball during the first quarter of the 2018 Spring Game at Ohio Stadium on April 14. Gray beat Scarlet 37-14.

However, the receivers realize Haskins is not a mirror image of last season’s quarterback, J.T. Barrett. As a pro-style quarterback, as opposed to a dual-threat option, Haskins brings excitement to the Ohio State offense with just his arm. “He makes some of those throws that are just crazy,”

redshirt senior wide receiver Johnnie Dixon said. “I mean, the guy, he has the talent. He’s just ready to unleash it Sept. 1.” Receivers are preparing for his deep-throw ability, with Campbell saying the majority of his off-season workouts HASKINS CONTINUES ON 7
