LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear incoming Buckeyes, Welcome to Ohio State. If you have just been handed this, you probably know by now that this is a big school. Whether you have yet to move in, have just finished setting up your dorm, are reading this at the Involvement Fair or picked this up somewhere else, this is most likely not news to you.

It wasn’t news to me either when I arrived on campus three years ago (wow time flies). Coming from a school with a graduating class of 53 people, I knew this would be a vastly different experience from anything I had known before. But it wasn’t until I arrived on campus that I started to feel the size.

The two fairs were crazy-packed with people. The econ lecture of 900 people was terrifying. Just the crowds in the streets walking around campus was overwhelming. I felt uncomfortable, scared even.

How did I get through it? I made it small. I participated in activities with my scholars group of just over 100 people. I ventured downstairs in Morrill Tower for events held on the third floor. I started to write for The Lantern.

Suddenly, I was no longer a loner walking in a world of strangers. I was a member of smaller communities, all experiencing college together.

That’s what Ohio State is. A giant community built on smaller ones. And our mission here at The Lantern is to cover every part of the whole that is Ohio State. We want to keep you informed on the latest USG news and Board of Trustees’ decisions. We want to tell you where to find the best place to get a coffee or catch a show. We want to let you know who the Buckeyes are playing and how they are doing. We want to help make this journey a little less scary.

So stop for a minute and give us a read. Learn about your community. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a smaller one inside this campus that calls to you.

Enjoy Ohio State, Buckeyes. We’re excited to share this time with you.

Ohio State begins distribution of iPads at orientation EDWARD SUTELAN Editor-in-Chief sutelan.1@osu.edu Incoming freshman Noa Breitman looks into the camera on her new iPad and smiles for the picture.

She laughs, saying that it isn’t a great photo, but her Digital Flagship educator tells her she can change it later.

For now, she just needs it for her lock screen.

“It’s so nice,” she said, looking through the apps on her iPad. Like many incoming freshmen at Ohio State, Breitman was unaware that she was going to be receiving an iPad until shortly after accepting her offer of admission. Now, joining about 250 other students on June 11 for her orientation, she began the process of customizing her iPad. Cory Tressler, the associate director of learning programs for the Office of Distance Education & eLearning, said students are informed shortly after being accepted to Ohio

State about how that they would receive an iPad Pro and “all that entails.”

Students are notified early how this process will begin, and after checking in at Morrill Tower for orientation, they head to the Drake Performance and Events Center to receive their iPads. At the beginning, the students and parents split up with the students going to receive the iPads and the parents learning about student life at an academic fair.

There are roughly 25 student assistants at different stages of the process, helping to guide the freshmen through the orientation of their iPads. Those student assistants were hired back in April and had multiple days of training with each being given an iPad to familiarize themselves with the device. They then helped train the 80 faculty who were given iPads in May. “It was a nice initial sort of go-through orientation before we had 250 students a day,” Tressler said.

He added having students be the ones who teach the freshmen how to use the iPads helps make everyone more

comfortable.

The setup process takes about 20 minutes for each student.

The students are handed a manilla bag containing their 10.5inch, 256GB iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil, smart keyboard and STM Dux Shell Case.

Once inside the room, the students are asked to show a form of ID to confirm their identity. Hanna Kim, a student assistant for ODEE learning technology, said the students are searched in the system to confirm they are eligible for the iPad. She said the other student assistants confirm the ID both in the system and with the gray folders the freshmen are handed at orientation.

“So it’s like an extra wall of defense,” she said.

Only first-year students are eligible for the iPads, but Kim said some transfer students also allowed to have them and there there is often a gray area that requires someone to come in and sort out the eligibility process.

After a student has their name, dot number and student information inputted into the iPad and the device is

The iPads were distributed until the end of July at the Columbus campus. customized, the student heads over to the next room where there are 10 tables with five other freshmen to learn about how to use the devices. There, the students are introduced to the apps on the device.

The Discover app is one of the more prominent features on the iPad. Students are able to view maps of the campus, follow orientation instructions, learn about and sign up for different organizations on campus, create four-year plans and view account balances. During the school year, the students will be able to view course information, check grades and see their schedule.

Kim said these features make scheduling classes much simpler, where her advisor told her “It’s a lot less work for me” and that the students “have like a clear plan in front of them.”

The iPads are distributed from 7 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. every Monday through Thursday at the Columbus campus, Tressler said. Kim added that if students arrives late, they will be able to receive the iPads at Thompson Library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and receive a similar introduction to their devices.

In the future, Tressler said he hopes the iPads will be able to make orientation completely paperless. Since this is only the first year, he said there is a bit of a learning experience for everyone involved. The Discover app currently lists the optional sessions for students on Day 2 of orientation, but that it is “not 100 percent yet.”

Going paperless is, of course, one of the overall goals of this initiative. One of the stated objectives by the University is to put all syllabi, textbooks and other course work on the iPads so students don’t have to go through paper.

Breitman has already started to plan out how she hopes to use the iPads during her time at Ohio State.

“I’ll probably mostly use the Drive,” she said. “Just like take notes on the Drive, and I’ll use those apps that they showed.”

Maximizing your tuition ZACH VARDA Campus Editor varda.6@osu.edu The sometimes overwhelming price of tuition might deter students from wanting to break down the costs of what all lies within tuition. But within the hefty price tag are great opportunities.

There is plenty within the cost of attendance at Ohio State that students should be aware of to make sure they’re maximizing their money and their experience on campus.

OUAB Events The Ohio Union Activities Board hosts a lot of different events — from movie screenings to talks with well-known public figures — that students can obtain a ticket for by simply showing their BuckID. For most events, once the event is announced and tickets are available students will be instructed to go to the Ohio Union Information Desk and present their BuckID in exchange for a ticket. However, for some events, OUAB will instead use a lottery system which students can sign up for on the OUAB website.

According to the OUAB website, “Announcements about ticketing distribution times and information for each OUAB event will be made as soon as possible but generally no later than five weeks prior to the event date.”

D-Tix Available as part of the student activities fee and offered by the Office of Student life, D-Tix is a program that offers students a way to obtain tickets to events around Columbus at a discounted price.

The offering of tickets range from a chance to attend a Columbus Crew or Blue Jackets game to seeing a concert at the Schottenstein Center or Nationwide Arena. Students can also receive tickets for the Gateway Film Center for only $3, a cheaper rate than the $7.50 cost of a student ticket at the film center’s box office.

Discounted tickets for events will often have a lottery system and be limited to one or two tickets per BuckID. To see what upcoming events are available for discounts or how to obtain tickets, students can check of the Office of Student Life website.

Student Government The Undergraduate Student Government on campus is in large part funded by the

The RPAC is just one of multiple exercise facilities on campus that students can utilize free of charge as part of their student activity fee. student activities fee that every student is required to pay, and as such every student can make their voice heard by USG. There is always the option to become directly involved with USG, but students also can choose to reach out to those directly involved for officers are willing to listen to students’ concerns.

Shamina Merchant and Shawn Semmler, this year’s president and vice president respectively, partly ran their campaign on the message that every student should be more aware of what USG does for them, seeing as they help fund the body.

Exercise Facilities As part of the student activities fee every student is entitled to use any of the many exercise facilities located across campus.

The main facility is the Recreational and Physical Activity Center, colloquially known as the RPAC, which sits adjacent to Ohio Stadium and has everything from weights to basketball and racquetball courts. Students also can take to the tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts outside the RPAC, as well as the Lincoln Tower Park fields.

Other options include the North Recreation Center, known as North Rec, which has weights, cardio machines and

outdoor basketball courts. If a student is on West Campus, there is the Adventure Recreation Center, known as the ARC, which offers weights and cardio as well as basketball and volleyball courts,indoor soccer fields and climbing walls, as well as the Jesse Owens West Tennis Center, which offers indoor tennis courts. There also is Jesse Owens South, which is another option for students in search of weights or cardio.

All exercise facilities simply require a BuckID to enter and also will offer equipment such as a basketball or locks for rental with your BuckID.

Getting to know your student government leaders AMANDA PARRISH Asst. Campus Editor parrish.272@osu.edu In the summer of 2015, Shamina Merchant and Shawn Semmler were attending new student orientation for Ohio State.

It was time to break into pairs within the orientation group. Having never met before and making awkward eye contact within the mass of freshmen Buckeyes, the two decided to partner up.

Three years later, the two Buckeyes that were #new2osu partnered up to run for Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president: Meet USG President Shamina Merchant and Vice President Shawn Semmler.

Life before college Merchant began her life in Long Island, but attended Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School near Cleveland before coming to Ohio State. She participated in many activities from a stint on the swim team to show choir to Key Club. But none of these were quite as impactful as her experience on the speech and debate team.

“It gave me for the first opportunity to feel like I belonged to something,” Merchant said. “It was cool to be a part of something for people to get excited about and see it grow over time.”

Merchant became the president of the team her senior year and helped change the organization by adding leadership positions, organizing fundraisers and advocating for a paid coach.

Semmler attended Edwardsville High School in Illinois where he participated in boys volleyball, joined student council, worked as a copy editor for the yearbook staff and developed a strong interest in photography.

On top of his high school activities, he had a strong interest in politics, which began even before high school. When he was in the sixth grade, he made calls for the Obama campaign in 2008 and interned for a local Republican congressman’s office during his junior year.

“The internship was a lot of fun because it opened my mind to a lot of issues and helped me learn more,” Semmler said.

Life in college While much of their time is spent

together with USG, Merchant and Semmler find different ways to spend their free time.

Merchant said she enjoys traveling — even though she has not had a chance to do much of it yet. She also gives henna tattoos and prioritizes time with her family.

“I spend a lot of time with my family,” Merchant said. “I think that is maybe learning more about who they are, where they came from, and it has become a much bigger part of my life than I thought it would.”

Semmler is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi and makes candles on demand for his friends. When he is not spending time with his fellow brothers or investing in his low-key candle company, he spends time outdoors, either hiking, riding his bike on the Olentangy trail or taking pictures. “[Taking photos] is my release; it’s my creative outlet,” Semmler said. “Sometimes I will spend two hours and only get three good photos out of it, but it’s more about going through the process.”

Life after college Like many college seniors, Merchant and Semmler are unsure of where postgraduation life will take them. But they do have an idea for what their futures might look like.

Merchant said she would like to end up in consulting because it will allow her to learn a lot about many different industries.

She said she is not exactly sure what she wants to do, but hopes consulting will help her learn about different industries to help her figure that out.

Although she is somewhat unsure of her future, she knows her core values of pluralism, education, empowerment and integrity.

“I have spent a lot of time the past year reflecting on my core values, and I realized those are what drive me,” Merchant said.

“So I know wherever I end up, I want those values to guide my career path.”

Semmler said he is not sure where he will be either, but said he would like to work in the consumer experience industry where he can explore how products, people and technology interface with one another.

Wherever he goes, he said the culture of the company will be important to him.

“I really value quality culture, so we will see whatever firm or company I go to that fits that criteria,” Semmler said.

Ohio State faces litany of litigation amid several investigations EDWARD SUTELAN Editor-in-Chief sutelan.1@osu.edu As Ohio State University prepares to begin the 2018 autumn semester, it is currently in the midst of dealing with several lawsuits. In mid-July, two class-action lawsuits involving sexual abuse allegations against the now-deceased Dr. Richard Strauss and another class-action suit alleging rape from a former Ohio State University Diving Club assistant coach were filed against Ohio State.

The first class-action suit was filed by four former Ohio State wrestlers from the 1990s who claimed while they were at the university, Ohio State ignored complaints of sexual abuse from Strauss and allowed the abuse to continue, the lawsuit had stated. The second suit stated pertaining to Strauss claimed similar knowledge of abuse, this time from a former wrestler in the 1980s.

In both cases, the former wrestlers are seeking to resolve this case with a settlement from the university to compensate for the physical and mental anguish suffered as a result of the alleged abuse that was allowed to happen by Ohio State’s negligence, the lawsuits both stated.

According to information released by Ohio State on July 20, the investigators at Perkins Coie — hired in early May by the university — have received confidential interviews from more than 100 former Ohio State athletes with claims of sexual abuse from Strauss. The update also said Ohio State is looking into whether high -school students were abused by Strauss while he was employed by Ohio State.

It also said Strauss ran a private clinic in the mid-1990s.

Sept. 1, 1978 Strauss is hired by Ohio State University to become a member of the clinical faculty and the medical staff as an attending physician.

1978

1983

July 11, 1978 Richard Strauss is officially issued his medical license from the State Medical Board of Ohio.

In a separate incident, the Ohio State University Diving Club is one of three defendants listed in a class-action suit from an alleged victim of rape and 49 other individuals listed only as “Jane Does 2-50.” The other two defendants are USA Diving Inc., and former Ohio State University Diving Club assistant coach William Bohonyi, the alleged offender.

The lawsuit claims while at Ohio State, Bohonyi Bohonyi, while at Ohio State, forced the alleged victim, — who was 16 at the time of the first incident — to engage in sexual acts. He allegedly coerced her to engage with him by saying she was “required to perform sexual services in exchange for her continued involvement in diving,” the lawsuit stated.

After Ohio State learned of Bohonyi’s acts with the alleged victim, he was fired from Ohio State in 2014 and the nude photographs of the victim he obtained were sent to the university. No further action was taken by Ohio State, the lawsuit said. He continued to coach with the USA Diving Team until he was declared permanently ineligible in February 2015.

On April 5, Ohio State officially began an investigation into claims from a former Buckeye athlete alleging Dr. Richard Strauss sexually abused him — among many others — during Strauss’ time at Ohio State from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Male varsity athletes from 14 different sports at Ohio State have come forward with allegations.

Ohio State asks anyone with information pertaining to the Strauss investigation to contact investigators at osu@ perkinscoie.com.

July 1, 1994 Strauss became a part-time physician in Student Health Services. Investigators have since said they have spoken with more than 100 former students believed to have been abused

by Strauss while he was at Ohio State.

1988

1993

July 1, 1981 Strauss became a team physician in Ohio State athletics.

Investigators later learned he treated male athletes from 14 different varsity sports, including wrestling, baseball, football and fencing.

Sept. 30, 1998 Strauss’ state medical license in Ohio expires. Throughout his 20 years with the license, there is no listed action taken against him by the Board.

July 17, 2018 Ohio State sued in a classaction lawsuit led by four former Ohio State wrestlers claiming the university knew about about Strauss’ sexual misconduct and ignored the allegations. The lawsuit claims the university first became aware of the allegations in 1978, the year Strauss was hired. A second class-action lawsuit is filed against Ohio State, this time by a single former wrestler from 1982 to 1984.leading the investigation.

Cannon Drive Relocation The construction of Cannon Drive, the road that passes Morrill and Lincoln Tower as well as Ohio Stadium, has heavily impacted the area since it shut down the day after spring commencement.

Hedman said from King Avenue to Herrick Drive, the road will be straightened and elevated to create a certified flood levy, opening up 12 acres of developable land, adding green space along the Olentangy River and setting the foundation for a future north-south connector between King and Lane avenues.

The exits near Cannon Drive for state Route 315 are currently closed, but will reopen for the first football game Sept. 1.

With similar construction projects occurring in Sept. 2017, Hedman said that similar plans will be in place, giving fans and visitors appropriate traffic control and transportation options in the area.

The project is expected to be completed by fall 2019.

Historic Mirror Lake District In November 2016, the lake was fenced off and construction began, and now nearly two years later, the district is expected to reopen in August 2018.

Included in the historic district is Mirror Lake, Pomerene Hall — which housed Mirror Lake Creamery — and the Browning Amphitheatre.

Dan Hedman, a university spokesman, said the reconstructed lake will include naturalized edges and feature planted buffers and scenic overlooks with a focus on safety and sustainability.

A portion of Pomerene Hall’s interior was demolished to make room for larger lecture halls. The hall will still house a dining facility, but the name of the dining location has yet to be confirmed.

The Oval Tunnels The Oval is one of the most iconic landmarks on Ohio State’s campus, and major portions will be blocked off during the autumn semester for repairs and updates of the underground tunnels.

Fencing was installed in April when construction began, causing minimal pathway disruption. But in early May, additional fencing was added across the middle of The Oval, limiting pedestrian access to the areas. In early August, fencing will change again to allow additional pedestrian pathways prior to fall semester.

The project is expected to be completed by October.

With construction led by Ohio State Energy Partners and Ohio State, the repairs will support the future reliability of building heating and hot water in the area, replace 3,000 feet of aging utilities and repair the tunnels first built underneath The Oval in the early 1900s.

Although The Oval will nearly be out of commission for the autumn semester, the South Oval is completely open for dogwatching and frisbee-throwing needs.

CAMPUS LANDMARKS FACE

CONSTRUCTION AMANDA PARRISH Asst. Campus Editor parrish.272@osu.edu An estimated 2,600 seats will be removed from Ohio Stadium, reducing the seat capacity of 104,944 to 102,329, according to a news release from 2016.

Upgrades are in progress as well to repair the concrete decks and make some improvements to the university suites inside Ohio Stadium.

This work is being phased over three years so as not to interfere with football season. The project is in its last year of construction and is expected to be fully operational by fall 2019.

Biomedical and Materials Engineering Complex Koffolt Lab and Fontana Lab, the homes for biomedical and materials engineering classes, are both under renovation.

With the project beginning in April, the north section of old Koffolt eventually will be demolished to make way for a new addition that will provide an abundance of natural light, including a four-story atrium.

There also will be five classroom pool rooms within the building providing over 350 seats.

Additional outdoor seating and gathering spaces will be added adjacent to the north campus dorms Covelli Multi Sport Arena Construction for the Covelli Multi-Sport Arena, the new home for several Ohio State sports, began in July 2017 and is anticipated to be completed by May 2019. The arena will serve as the training facility for the volleyball teams and as the competition site for men’s and women’s gymnastics, fencing and wrestling.

Other Ohio State construction projects include Curl Market’s patio, Postle Hall, Don Scott Airport Terminal and the Franklin County Extension Office.

Framework 2.0 Ohio State is also in the pre-design process for five other major construction projects, as part of the university’s strategic plan called Framework 2.0, a vision for the physical space of the Columbus campus.

The projects include an interdisciplinary research facility, an arts district, interdisciplinary health sciences center, Wexner Medical Center hospital improvements and a Wexner Medical Center ambulatory facility.

The five projects were approved as programming studies in April 2017 and are expected to advance a number of the university’s strategic focus areas, including research and creative expression, teaching and learning, and academic health care, according to a news release from 2017.

Crucial midterm elections on campus ZACH VARDA Campus Editor varda.6@osu.edu The 2018 midterm elections are being characterized as a crucial turning point by everyone along the political spectrum.

There are two races you can expect to hear a lot about on campus this fall: the gubernatorial race between current Attorney General Mike DeWine and Democrat Rich Cordray to be Ohio’s next governor and the Senate race between Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republican Rep. Jim Renacci.

Senate race Renacci will look to unseat the longserving and popular Democrat Brown in a year where extra attention is being paid to Senate races as important votes in the chamber continue to play a crucial role in defining President Donald Trump’s tenure.

Brown, who has built a reputation over the years fighting for workers’ rights, said college students should be tuned in to this race for its impacts on their wallet and their job prospects.

“College affordability and job opportunities for Ohio students are on the ballot this year. That’s why students from across Ohio are stepping up and making sure their voices are heard in

this election,” Brown said via email. “I encourage students to not only make sure you’re registered to vote, but also to find a way to get involved — whether that means interning with a campaign, or volunteering to knock doors or register voters.”

The Renacci campaign also sees the job market as an important factor for college students when casting their votes this fall, but believe the conservative platform Renacci favors is better suited to deliver an advantageous job market to college students.

A spokeswoman for Renacci’s campaign said college students should examine the two candidates and decide which one has the best plan to “create better, higher-paying jobs” for students after graduating college.

“What college students need more than anything is a really great job market so that they can have opportunities to pick and choose from jobs that they like,” said Leslie Shedd, a senior communications advisor for Renacci’s campaign, “Jobs that they’re interested in and more importantly jobs they can grow and thrive in and create a career for themselves.”

Governor race DeWine and Cordray will fight for Ohio’s No. 1 government position: governor with John Kasich’s second term

coming to an end.

DeWine, whose campaign was contacted for this article but had not responded at the time of publishing, is seen as the natural successor to Kasich’s brand of conservatism after serving under him as the state’s attorney general.

On the other hand, Cordray is considered a star in the Democratic Party, spending the last five years serving as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau before returning to Ohio to run for governor.

Cordray told The Lantern in an email that inclusivity is important for the future of Ohio, laying out the differences in social policies between he and DeWine, reflecting the larger differences between their two parties.

Cordray said he will continue to make Ohio a “more open, inclusive and welcoming state.” He added he also will defend marriage equality and reproductive choice, unlike his opponent, which he said would make it more difficult for Ohio to “attract new businesses and good paying jobs.”

“To keep Ohio moving forward, we must embrace the talents of all Ohioans — not divide people by gender, race, and sexual orientation,” Cordray said.

Cordray also touted his record of taking on bad financial practices and how

this will benefit students facing the costly expenses of college.

“Ohio’s future, and the future of our young people, also depends on us being a state that works for all of its people — not just the powerful interests, the Wall Street banks and the wealthy,” he said.

“As the nation’s top consumer protection watchdog, I took on predatory lenders and for-profit colleges when they scammed college students, and as Governor, I’ll work to ensure that a quality, affordable education is within reach of all families in our state.”

Voting on campus The option to vote absentee via mail in their home district is always available to students, but for the chance to vote in local elections impacting campus, they’ll want to make sure they’re registered to vote on campus.

Students looking to register for the first time or change their address to vote on campus can either use the new online system for Ohio found here, go to the local elections office or look for one of the many “clipboarders” that pop-up on campus during elections season.

Student Involvement Fair takes a different look, same opportunities MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor

lee.7240@osu.edu Every year on the Sunday before classes start, Ohio State students can explore over 700 student organizations at the university, usually on The Oval.

However, due to utility repairs on The Oval, the Student Involvement Fair will take place on College Road from 12th Avenue to around 19th Avenue, according to Kimani Robinson, the major campus events committee advisor in the Office of Student Life.

The Involvement Fair serves a few purposes, Robinson said, one of which being an opportunity for students to learn how to market their student organizations.

Another purpose? For students to find their place at the university.

“For example, if you’re into service or outreach, you can go with Buck-i-Serve, you can go to Pay It Forward,” Robinson said. “You can go to these other smaller organizations that do some work within the community, like Habitat for Humanity, like you find that space.”

Robinson said the fair is broken down into different units, such as academic organizations and spiritual organizations and can help students gauge what their interests might be in college.

Robinson himself benefited from being involved in student organizations during his undergraduate years, joining groups such as his university’s Residence Hall Association as its president and the vice president of its Student Government Association.

This made him realize he wanted to serve students even after he graduated with his psychology degree, which led him to his current position.

“Being an involved student helped me fuel my passion, gain mentors and other resources to help me see where I want to go past college,” Robinson said.

While the Involvement Fair will generally have the same elements as previous years, Robinson said that because of the location change from the green Oval space to a street fair style, it will feel different this year.

“Being on College Road, I think students

Robinson hopes freshmen or other newcomers to Ohio State “seize the moment” and become involved in the campus community.

“These are four years of your life that you want to truly embrace, and being an involved student gives you the opportunity to embrace your campus,” Robinson said. “You want to leave no stone unturned, and when you get involved, it gives you that opportunity.”

Semmler also said he would like to end up back home later in life to try and make an impact and give back to his home community.

Merchant-Semmler Vision Merchant, a fourth-year in information systems and Semmler, a fourth-year in finance, set out through their campaign to listen to as many students’ stories as possible to shape their policy points, and they plan on putting those policy points into action.

This year, they said their primary focus will be on mental and physical wellness, inclusivity, sustainability and affordability.

“We want to make sure that every Buckeye has the best possible experience, and those are some of the issues we want to focus on.”

Merchant said.

Merchant and Semmler have already made strides on affordability by passing two proposals that eliminate 70 percent of course fees and remove the fee for seniors who want to take 21 credit hours.

The leaders’ campaign focus was on catering to the students’ needs and they plan to keep that a focus during their time as president and vice president.

“We feel like USG can always be doing

a much better job of actually listening to the students and listening to their voices,” Merchant said during the campaign. “That was the most important thing we set out to do, making sure that we are actually listening to students’ stories from the very beginning and using the opportunity to reach out to people we haven’t talked to before, and listen, and use that to shape our policy.”

Merchant added that the most important thing the pair set out to do was listen to stories from students and use their campaign as a chance to learn more about what their community needed.

Merchant and Semmler are hoping to make the campus as much of an inclusive home as possible for current and future Buckeyes.

USG as a Resource and Community “For everybody, USG is a resource, and then for the people that want to get involved, they will find a community,” Semmler said.

They said students can go to USG at anytime when they experience difficulty or frustration with campus.

“Tell us not only about what is going on with you, but what you are upset with and how USG can help,” Merchant said.

While USG itself is a resource, it also offers many opportunities such as the Buckeye Road Trip, a reduced-cost busing service for students to travel home during the Thanksgiving and spring breaks.

Merchant and Semmler also said for freshmen looking for ways to serve campus, USG could be a great way to do that for those

interested in writing and enacting policy.

“There are a lot opportunities to serve on campus, but [Shamina and I] found that USG was the best fit for us,” Semmler said.

Counseling services on campus ZACH VARDA Campus Editor varda.6@osu.edu Transitioning from high school to college is in many ways a daunting task for students.

From a new living situation, to new friends and harder classes, it’s a lot to take in.

One thing that can be neglected during this transition is mental health. But for those struggling or looking for direction, Counseling and Consultation Services offers a range of helpful options.

“We have a multi-modal model service which means that it’s not one size fits all.

We offer individual counseling, group therapy and psychiatry services,” said Shonali Raney, assistant director of clinical services at CCS. “We also do outreach programming, sometimes we’ll get requests from like Greek Life or a student activities group requesting us to come to one of their meetings to talk about our services or mental health or how to manage the pressures of being a college student.”

College life places a lot of pressure on students, especially those with high standards, Raney said. So, CCS tries to help students find the right balance to make sure they’re not sacrificing their own mental health.

She said she tries to place an emphasis on the college experience being more than just a time to excel in classes.

“So you got an A minus this semester, but you were also involved in these student activities that are also resume builders,” she said. “So we look at: is your primary goal getting that 4.0 GPA at the end of your four years or are you also trying to build your resume? If you’re doing all that and you’re trying to get a 4.0, something has to give and that give might be your mental health, so we talk about the balance.”

CCS services strive to be able to fit into a college student’s lifestyle and schedule. As such one-on-one therapy or group therapy are not the only options available to students.

Instead, CCS also offers a variety of daily drop-in workshops for any student that wants to attend and get a feel for the services available to them.

“It’s really low key in terms of how much they need to share; it’s almost like taking a class, they’re receiving information, they can choose to participate or they may not,”

RIS TWIGG | FORMER ASST. PHOTO EDITOR

Counseling and Consultation Services offers a variety of daily workshops for students to get a feel for services available to them Raney said. “It helps them see that therapists are just like you and me. There are sometimes misconceptions of what therapists are like or what they do and sometimes just coming to one of our workshops can help reduce that fear about reaching out.”

For those who do want more help — in the way of individual or group therapy — or for those who had therapeutic or psychiatric care before coming to Ohio State and want to continue through CCS, participating in a phone screening is the first step.

Raney said the staff is also always willing to talk to parents who are looking for options either on how to support their student or how to continue care while their child is on campus. Ultimately, staff can only offer

consultation to parents who can then encourage the student to take the first step of doing a phone screening.

Screenings take 15 to 20 minutes and can be scheduled online at CCS’ website. Raney said the phone screenings, which were introduced a few years ago, have been helpful in making it easier for students to get in the system.

While Raney said she at first was not sure about switching to phone screenings, students who have utilized them have been very receptive to the method.

“They totally feel comfortable talking over the phone, sharing everything from experiencing a sexual assault to struggling with alcohol and substance abuse,” she said.

“I think for students right now, where they are, the phone screening offers convenience in a way that if you live on the other part of campus to come all the way here for 15-20 minutes seems like a lot.”

Walking the same path: General Education courses MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor

lee.7240@osu.edu With more than 200 potential majors to choose from, Ohio State students have no shortage of paths with which to follow to build their respective careers. But, somewhere along the way, all paths must meet somewhere: general education classes.

In the past few years, the most popular general education courses in terms of enrollment numbers have generally stayed the same. So here are some of the mosttaken courses from the 2014-15 to 2016-17 academic years according to the university that students might take in their time here at Ohio State.

PSYCH 1100: Intro to Psychology From 2014-17, PSYCH 1100 had a total enrollment of 9,966 students. According to the course catalog, this three-credit-hour class teaches students the “application of the scientific method to the empirical study of behavior with emphasis on individual and cultural differences.”

Students can receive credit by testing out of the class through examinations (EM credit) or receiving a score of three or higher on the Advanced Placement Psychology exam in high school.

Students who receive credit for PSYCH 1100 will allow them to complete the course attributes of “GE Diversity: Social Diversity in the US” and “GE Social Science: Individuals and Groups” if required for their major to graduate.

ENGLISH 1110.01: First-Year English Composition With a total enrollment of 10,056 students from 2014-17, this three-credit-hour course teaches and allows students to “practice in the fundamentals of expository writing” by having students not only write their own essays, but also study the essays of professional writers.

Students can also get credit for this GE through EM credit, or by receiving a score of three or higher on the AP English Language or AP Literature exam students might have

Ohio State continues to extend Pell Grant benefits to more students

Ohio State has now committed more than $100 million in additional need-based aid since 2015 JAKE RAHE Lantern reporter rahe.21@osu.edu Ohio State has committed to covering the full cost of tuition for in-state Pell Grant and Ohio College Opportunity Grants recipients as well as those who come from households that make Ohio’s median income of $55,000 or less starting in autumn 2018 for Columbus campus and spring 2019 for regional campuses.

Students eligible also must have completed a full

semester and have taken or will be taking a survey course. A survey course is taken by all first-semester undergraduates and is designed to help students assess their interests and plan their progress toward a degree.

The university will spend around $14 million dollars annually to cover the tuition cost of an estimated 4,700 eligible students.

“Our goal is basically using federal, state and institutional aid,” University President Michael Drake said in a statement last fall. “We can meet the tuition costs of Pell-eligible families.”

The 2018 academic year will be a test run for the

JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

program, Drake said, and a set amount of funding will not be determined until the class of 2022 is enrolled.

All students who meet the requirements are eligible, not just incoming freshmen.

The program will cover any cost that a student’s existing aid does not cover to match the total cost of a student’s tuition.

“Expanding our tuition-coverage program will help ensure even more Ohio families have the opportunity to advance their lives and communities through higher education,” Drake said.

The majority of the $14 million comes from Ohio

ON CAMPUS | Buckeye Bound | 23

State’s 50-year deal with Ohio State Energy Partners — a partnership formed with French-based energy company Engie and Axium, an investment firm.

As part of the partnership’s contract, Energy Partners gave $1 billion upfront to Ohio State, and is investing $150 million in university academics. In return, the university will pay Energy Partners a fixed fee of $45 million each year, with a 1.5 percent increase to cover inflation, as well as operating and variable fees.

The tuition program will cover up to four years of instate tuition at Ohio State, which currently costs $10,591 annually for incoming firstyears. The university said this four-year cap could change, but not drastically.

“It could change,” Drake said. “I would say four years would be the minimal. One of

the things that we would like to do is not having it be for too much more than four years.”

Because program eligibility requires students to be from Ohio, out-of-state students do not have the possibility for coverage, Drake said.

The reason? Affordability.

“They come because it’s the best opportunity for them; many of them come with merit-based financial aid, but our real commitment to needbased financial aid is to Ohio students,” he said. “We leave the affordability [grants] to the states they come from.”

Ohio State has now committed more than $100 million in additional needbased aid since 2015, which is well ahead of Drake’s stated goal of reaching that number by 2020.

iPad Wallpaper Contest winner plants her flag on over 10,000 iPads MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu On March 5, Ohio State announced the Digital Flagship iPad Wallpaper Contest, where students could design a wallpaper for a chance to have it installed on more than 10,000 iPads distributed to incoming freshmen.

Nadia Ayad, a fourth-year in industrial design, first heard about the contest through an email from her academic adviser. Ayad said she usually never checks her emails, but this time she did and decided to participate in the contest.

And it paid off, because she placed first.

While creating the wallpaper, Ayad said she had been inspired by other similar layouts where there were small icons rather than one central image. On the scarlet wallpaper, students can see images such as headphones, icons representing different sports and a plant.

“For a place like OSU, I don’t know one central image would be, and I think typically those central images are sports related,” Ayad said. “I try not to say that like in an offensive way, it’s just I wanted to make something that had a little bit of everything for everyone that sees it.”

The wallpaper has many images on it — one is a pyramid, which Ayad said she added because it represents her Egyptian heritage. The other images? Nothing “super personal.”

“I think I just wanted to do something that was fun and inviting for a freshman who is coming here to not be scared to just be like ‘oh this is something I would draw in my notebook the side of a piece of paper,” Ayad said. “It’s like kind of a good introduction to college and it’s not like too serious.”

For Ayad, the thought of the iPads having her wallpaper on it is sometimes scary. She said she is always hard on herself, questioning if they could be better and if others will think the design is “lame.”

But she said she is able to get past her nerves about it because she realizes the students are not going to be opening up the iPad to judge her work. ”It’s just like an added little wrapping paper on it, and I think that’s a pretty cool wrapping paper to have,” she said.

Ayad said for incoming freshmen, there are a few things she wants them to keep in mind when beginning their college careers.

She said she encourages students to get involved and find out

what they truly want to do with their lives — whether it then be changing their majors or taking more classes of that same variety — and taking advantage of the resources Ohio State provides for its students.

“Do it in a way that’s playful, always have wonder, always observe your surroundings especially here at school because there’s so many things that you’ll miss if you’re not being present,” Ayad said.

Dwayne Haskins picks up where Barrett left off COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu For the past four seasons, Ohio State has been J.T. Barrett’s team.

In 50 career games for the Buckeyes, the Wichita Falls, Texas native broke 25 school records at quarterback, including career passing yards (9,434) and touchdowns in a single season (47). He also holds the Big Ten conference record for career offensive yards (12,697), passing touchdowns (104) and career touchdowns (147).

Going into the 2018 football season, Barrett will be donning black and gold for the New Orleans Saints instead of scarlet and gray. With former Ohio State quarterback Joe Burrow transferring to LSU during the offseason, the Buckeyes will have redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins as the primary signal caller to start the season.

The former four-star recruit out of Potomac, Maryland, has had limited playing time throughout his college career. Last season, Haskins played in eight games for the Buckeyes, completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 565 yards, averaging 14.1 yards per completion. He also threw four touchdowns, including two against UNLV on Sept. 24, and one interception.

Haskins will bring something Ohio State has not seen much of during head coach Urban Meyer’s tenure: a pass-heavy offensive approach. Haskins is the first prostyle quarterback to begin the season as the starter outside of the 2015 season in which Barrett and former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones shared first-team reps.

Ohio State caught a glimpse of what Haskins could be like as the starter in big-game situations last season against Michigan.

After Barrett left the game with a knee injury in the third quarter, Haskins completed 6-of-7 pass attempts for 94 yards and recorded 24 rushing yards on three carries, helping give the Buckeyes a 31-20 win against the Wolverines despite coming in with a six-point deficit.

However, even with the ability to scramble inside the pocket to evade defenders,

JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

Then redshirt freshman quarterback Dwayne Haskins (7) throws a pass in the fourth quarter of the game against Michigan on Nov. 25, 2017 in Ann Arbor. Ohio State won 31-20.

Haskins has never been a quarterback to tuck-and-run at the first sign of trouble. This will be different for those used to Barrett, who had 12 rushing touchdowns last season.

When asked about how the offense would change if Haskins were the starting quarterback during spring practice, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day said there would always be an element of the run-pass option in the Ohio State offense. However, he said he would use the plays and playbook that fit him best.

Haskins will not have to do it alone though. All six of the receivers that led Ohio State in yards per game will return for the 2018 season, including redshirt senior H-back Parris Campbell and redshirt senior wide receiver Johnnie Dixon.

In the running game, Ohio State will still

have two backs to choose from in sophomore J.K. Dobbins and redshirt junior Mike Weber who, along with Barrett, helped the Buckeyes to the best rush offense in the Big Ten during the 2017 season by averaging 243.2 yards per game.

Even if Meyer wants a dual-threat option at quarterback at points during the season, Ohio State has redshirt freshman quarterback Tate Martell. As the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback recruit in the 2017 class, the Las Vegas native recorded 35 rushing touchdowns along with 113 passing touchdowns in his high school career at Bishop Gorman.

Going into fall camp with the Sept. 1 game against Oregon State approaching, Haskins will enter the season as the guy for Ohio State. However, with his highly

anticipated throwing ability and leadership, even in his first ever stint as the starter, the expectation still remains where Barrett left it: to lead a playoff contender.

New-look Ohio State team rests, prepares for upcoming season

JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

said. “But at the same time, I don’t know if the expectations are too high because of how much we lost.”

Ohio State will be without the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year, forward Keita Bates-Diop, and forward Jae’Sean Tate, a player Potter described as one of the best leaders in school history. It also lost a starting guard in Kam Williams and its sixth man in guard Andrew Dakich, who joins the team as an assistant coach.

Bates-Diop and Tate raised the expectations for Ohio State last season with a run to the NCAA Tournament. Even with the pair no longer on the team, senior guard C.J. Jackson said the mindset inside the locker room should stay the same as last summer.

“We kind of have to start over a little bit,” Jackson said. “We got a new team, so we, people who are returning, know what it takes.”

The future is imminent for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has four members of the 2018 class, including four-star shooting guard Luther Muhammad and four-star power forward Jaedon LeDee, that could be counted on to fill the void left by several departing players.

Along with the freshman class making a potential impact in the next calendar year, the Buckeyes brought in Keyshawn Woods, a graduate transfer point guard who

last played for Wake Forest. Last season, he averaged 11.9 points per game, shooting 43.9 percent from the floor.

In summer practices, it is neither Woods’ scoring ability nor his ability to fluidly switch and guard multiple positions that has impressed Potter the most. “[Woods] could have a contested shot, he will make the extra pass,” Potter said. “He could drive the lane and then it could be help-side defense coming over, he’ll kick the ball out, like it’s insane. I don’t know if I have ever played with a guy that is that unselfish.”

With all of the new faces on the roster, Jackson still thinks this team needs to play with a chip on its shoulder to be successful, block out all the noise from the outside and play the game.

“Basically, this team has not proved anything and so we have to come in with the same mindset as we did last year,” Jackson said. “We just got to do it for each other, do it for the coaches and nothing else matters.

SPORTS | Buckeye Bound | 37

Larry Johnson guiding next star group of linemen WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Ohio State football has found success in recent years all across the field.

Back in the 2014 season, it was through the rise of running back Ezekiel Elliott, whose three consecutive 200-yard games led the Buckeyes to the title in the first-ever College Football Playoff.

There have been flashes of dominance from players since then. Quarterback J.T. Barrett had his fair share of highlight moments. Offensive weapons like wide receiver Michael Thomas and running back J.K. Dobbins were always threats when the ball came in their vicinity. Safety Malik Hooker shined on the defensive side, racking up the most interceptions in the Big Ten in 2016.

These highlight players made some major moments happen, but nothing in Ohio State football has been as consistently dominant and

as constantly important to the team’s success in recent years as its defensive line under defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

Since Johnson joined the team, Ohio State has ranked in the top 35 in the nation in rushing defense and top 30 in scoring defense every season, while also finishing top 10 in sacks three of his four years.

Through recruiting or through Johnson’s coaching, the Buckeyes have also been a hotbed for some of the strongest D-line talent in the nation.

Joey Bosa was selected third overall in the 2016 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, and has since won Defensive Rookie of the Year and was nominated to the Pro Bowl in only his second season. In 2017 alone, Johnson coached five players who found their way to NFL teams, whether it be through the draft or free agency.

An Ohio State player has won Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year each season since

Johnson’s arrival, and another one in 2018 would make it five, given another potentially dominant core of starters to work around.

Junior defensive end Nick Bosa, Joey’s younger brother and the reigning lineman of the year, highlights the defensive ends, after he has been nothing short of extraordinary in his first two seasons for the Buckeyes. Finishing last year with 8.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss — both ranked top three in the Big Ten — he looks to bring even more pressure as the only returning starter.

Though Ohio State lost depth at defensive end with the departure of Sam Hubbard, Tyquan Lewis and Jalyn Holmes, sophomore defensive end Chase Young should fill the gap with ease. At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, the former five-star recruit is a physical specimen, and has intangibles that should scare opponents on their own.

Another returning starter who head coach Urban Meyer said could be “one of the best in

America” following the spring game, redshirt junior defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones has been one of Ohio State’s most consistent defenders the past two seasons. A third-team All Big Ten member in 2017, Jones enters this year with 72 career tackles, and a veteran starter ready for a breakout year.

Rounding out the most likely starting four is redshirt junior defensive tackle Robert Landers, who has played in 26 games for the Buckeyes over his first two seasons, and offers a versatile counter to Jones with more speed. This starting group, along with strong backup options like junior defensive end Jonathon Cooper and sophomore defensive tackle Haskell Garrett, this looks to be yet another talented group that Johnson can mold into his own proven style.

Mentoring has been a major key to Johnson’s success as a coach, for he believes building relationships with his players is critical to their performance.

Buckeyes looking forward with minds set on championship WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu A year after Ohio State came two wins shy of winning its first ever NCAA men’s hockey title, it would be expected that this team would lose much of the depth and talent that made them so successful.

That, however, is not the case.

The Buckeyes come into the upcoming season off the program’s second-ever Frozen Four with nearly the same core of players, as well as some major transfers and freshmen.

Of the six seniors that are gone from last year’s team, forward Matthew Weis is the biggest loss, ending last year third in team points with 37. But with Weis injured during Ohio State’s tournament run, the Buckeyes still managed to beat Princeton and the defending national champions in Denver.

Weis, along with Luke Stork, Janik Moser, Kevin Miller, Christian Lampasso and Matt Joyaux will cost the Buckeyes some depth, but nothing that would stop Ohio State from making

another title run.

“I don’t know if you ever really replace guys necessarily, I think guys have to step up and kind of fill their own little void and find a way to help the team,” redshirt senior goalie Sean Romeo said. “I think we have a good group coming back and some incoming freshman that can really step up and kind of carry the load for us.”

Romeo returns to Ohio State for his final season following a junior year where he was a second-team All Big Ten member, and was voted the most outstanding player in the Midwest Region.

Personal accomplishments are great, but Romeo said his eyes are set on something larger than individual goals.

“I think team success will really carry my own personal success,” Romeo said. “I’m just focused on winning a championship.”

He will be joined by the team’s two leading scorers, senior forward Mason Jobst and junior forward Tanner Laczynski, who both return as some of the highest scoring players in the nation.

Who left and who is replacing them?

WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu No one could have predicted the rise of the Ohio State men’s basketball team that occured last year in Chris Holtmann’s first year as head coach.

A year after the Buckeyes went 17-15, Holtmann took over and coached a team to a 25-9 overall finish, earning a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament while enjoying the rise of forward Keita Bates-Diop.

Bates-Diop took home Big Ten Player of the Year, but left Ohio State a season early to enter the NBA Draft. Guards Andrew Dakich and Kam Williams and forward Jae’Sean Tate also departed, leaving Holtmann with four holes to fill moving into next year.

Who will fill those spots? These are our predictions.

Leading Scorer: Keita Bates-Diop | Replacement: Kaleb Wesson There will most likely be no real replacement for the output that Bates-Diop had last season, but if someone is going to have the offense focused around them next season, it will be Wesson.

The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward had a solid freshman season, ending the year with 10.2 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on 56 percent shooting. Wesson likes to play with his back to the basket, and could be Ohio State’s main scoring threat next year.

Floor General: Jae’Sean Tate | Replacement: C.J. Jackson Tate and Jackson ended the year with very similar stats at the end of the past season. Though Jackson is a guard, he will look to imitate much of what Tate did off the court next season. Jackson is one of two returning seniors, along with guard Joey Lane, and he comes into next season looking to be the leader that Tate was a year ago.

Already attending a leadership camp during the summer, Jackson has the opportunity to be someone the offense runs through, while making an equal contribution on the stat sheet.

Threat from Deep: Kam Williams | Replacement: Luther Muhammad Williams found himself with a solid role on the Buckeyes, starting in 50 of the 62 games he played in during his final two seasons. In his senior year, Williams averaged 9 points per game while shooting 45 percent from behind the arc.

Muhammad comes in as a true freshman, but, as a four-star prospect out of high school, should make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes coming off the bench before eventually challenging for starting minutes.

JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

Ohio State then freshman forward Kaleb Wesson (34) boxes out on a free throw in the second half in the game against Michigan State on Jan. 7 in Value City Arena. Ohio State won 80-64.

Muhammad was a major scorer in high school for Hudson Catholic, shooting 51 percent and 37 percent from 3 in his four years there. Both a strong defender and impressive scorer around the hoop, Muhammad should be an improvement at the guard position, and gives the roster loads of potential moving forward.

Sixth Man: Andrew Dakich | Replacement: Keyshawn Woods Replacing one graduate transfer with another, Ohio State will turn to Woods to bring energy and a solid presence off the bench for the Buckeyes the same way Dakich did in 2017-18. The 6-foot-3 guard has experience at point guard while at Wake Forest and has demonstrated a strong shooting ability, even after a down year in his final year as a Demon Deacon.

Woods might eventually find time in the starting lineup, but look for him to bring a spark off the bench with his experience.

COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu

Sports are one of the main aspects of Ohio State culture.

Hundreds of collegiate athletes participate in 37 different sports at Ohio State, while thousands flock to venues such as the Schottenstein Center, St. John Arena and Ohio Stadium to watch them every year. Before arriving to campus, here are some storylines to watch for a few of the more prominent Buckeye sports.

Women’s Basketball — Starting over Ohio State women’s basketball coach Kevin McGuff has some rebuilding ahead.

The Buckeyes won their sixth Big Ten Championship, winning 13 of 16 games in conference play, including the last 11 games against Big Ten opponents.

However, the Buckeyes will have to replace their starting five and each of their top six leading scorers from last season.

The challenge for Ohio State in the upcoming season will be to replace the production of guard Kelsey Mitchell, who became the 2018 WNBA Draft’s No. 2 overall pick. Last season, she led the team with 24.3 points per game, shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from behind the 3-point line.

In the 2018-19 season, Ohio State will field nine new players, including five graduate transfers like former Ball State guard Carmen Grande, who finished second in the country last season with 9.2 assists per game, and former Bowling Green guard Carly Santoro.

ALYSSIA GRAVES

Baseball — Returning offense to lead team Offense was what brought Ohio State to the semifinal of the 2018 Big Ten Tournament. The Buckeyes had the third best offense in the conference statistically, hitting .283 as a team and leading the Big Ten in both walks and doubles.

Even with the loss of utility player Noah McGowan and outfielder Tyler Cowles, much of the Ohio State offense returns for the 2019 season. Two of the team’s leaders in batting average — senior infielder Kobie Foppe (.335) and junior outfielder Dominic Canzone (.323) — will both return.

The Buckeyes also will have junior infielder Connor Pohl return. Last season, he finished with seven home runs — third most on the team — and drove in 49 RBIs, tied with Cowles for the second most on the team.

Softball — Leaders return to softball team Despite being upset by the Iowa Hawkeyes in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, Ohio State has plenty to look forward to next season. Much of that is due to two key players returning for the Buckeyes.

Both infielder Lilli Piper and pitcher Morgan Ray will be seniors next season, giving them one last opportunity to make the NCAA tournament. Last season, the Buckeyes did not make it out of the regional bracket, falling twice to No. 2 Florida.

Last season, Piper led Ohio State in 12 offensive categories including batting average (.404), slugging percentage (.876), home runs (20) and RBIs (58).

She also has been awarded first-team All-Big Ten over the past two seasons.

In 38 appearances last season, including 25 starts, Ray won 18 games, recording 13 complete games with 145 strikeouts in 157.2 innings of work. She also recorded a .197 batting average against, the lowest on the team. strikeouts in 157.2 innings of work.

She also recorded a .197 batting average against, the lowest on the team.

Wrestling — Replacing Kyle Snyder Kyle Snyder left Ohio State as one of the most decorated athletes in the school’s history. Even though he might be absent from the roster heading into the 2018-19 season, the Buckeyes still boast a very deep roster coming off a runner-up finish in the NCAA championship.

The Buckeyes will return five of their eight All-American wrestlers next season, including a former national champion in senior Myles Martin. Head coach Tom Ryan also will have return senior Joey McKenna (above) redshirt junior Kollin Moore, both former conference champions.

With Martin and McKenna, Ohio State will attempt to battle with Penn State for the No. 1 spot in the Big Ten without Snyder for the first time in five years.

SPORTS | Buckeye Bound | 41

Ohio State athletics Women’s Hockey — Replacing Sauve and returning to the tournament Losing a goalie hurts. But losing the best goalie in the history of the women’s hockey program hurts a little more.

With the transfer of redshirt senior goalie Kassidy Sauve to Clarkson, head coach Nadine Muzerall and her team must look for a new backbone to depend on, and that might just be the offense. Then-freshmen forwards Emma Maltais and Tatum Skaggs led the Buckeyes in scoring last year and will look to hold even more of the load if they hope to return to the Frozen Four in back-to-back years.

Sauve’s likely replacement, sophomore Amanda Zeglen, looked strong in seven starts last season, ending the year with a 5-2 record and 1.86 goals against average. She can’t be expected to be quite as dominating as the program’s shutout leader, but if she can fill those skates in the slightest, expect to see the Buckeyes eyeing another tournament appearance next March.

Women’s Volleyball — Rebounding after disappointing year Usually a tournament contender, the Buckeyes suffered their worst season in over a decade. At 15-16, Ohio State hadn’t won under 20 games in a season since 2013-14 when it went 19-14. So this was an unprecedented slump for the program.

Sophomore and junior middle blockers Lauren Witte and Madison Smeathers will be crucial in leading this team back to what it was, after both were among the top in points for the team a season ago. Witte ranked ninth in the Big Ten in blocks per set with 1.01 per set in her freshman campaign, and could be a major difference maker if this team turns its record around.

WILL SHARP | FOR THE LANTERN

Synchronized Swimming — Threepeat for the dynasty There’s not much that can even be said about just how dominating the synchronized swimming team has historically been at Ohio State. Winners of back-to-back national championships, the Buckeyes will most likely have to defeat Stanford in order to go for a third.

Here’s the most staggering number about Ohio State’s most accomplished sports team: it has won 31 championships out of the 41 years that synchronized swimming has been recognized at a college level. That 75.6 percent championship win percentage is higher than the football team’s all-time winning percentage at 72.5 percent.

So, synchronized swimming wins championships more than the football team wins games. It’s safe to expect another title run next season.

Maisonneuve hoping to bring program to new level KEVIN HARRISH Former Lantern Reporter Brian Maisonneuve has accomplished a lot in his career, both on the field and from the sideline.

As an assistant at Indiana, he helped guide the Hoosiers to the 2012 national title and a runner-up finish in 2017. He also aided the team, which captured the 2010 Big Ten regular-season title and the 2013 Big Ten Tournament championship.

As a player, Maisonneuve spent nine years in the MLS and six as part of the United States Men’s National Team, appearing in all three of the team’s games at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Now, Maisonneuve has nothing but excitement while he begins to lead a team of his own, taking over as the Ohio State men’s soccer head coach.

“When this opened up, to come back to Columbus, to work for this athletic department and to be able to build this program and continue to build the success from coach [John] Bluem — it’s a dream opportunity,” Maisonneuve said.

Maisonneuve both played and coached at Indiana, but he is certainly not without ties to Columbus. Maisonneuve was a founding member of the Columbus Crew, playing with the club for nine seasons between 1996 and 2004.

Returning to Columbus is something of a homecoming for Maisonneuve.

“The city of Columbus has always been really special to my wife and I,” Maisonneuve said. “When we left, I can remember my wife saying, ‘If we ever have the chance to get back to the city of Columbus, let’s do it.’”

Maisonneuve is eager, but he said he faces a potential uphill battle in preparing his team for the season ahead. The new head coach said he’s had been unable to spend much time with his team after not being able to see them on the field until August, due to NCAA practice rules.

“A lot of the relationships will be built on the phone and in whatever contact I’m allowed to have with them, but it will be limited,” Maisonneuve said. “It’s not easy because you want to get at it. Any time a new coach takes over they’re ready to go — and believe me I am ready to go. I was just talking to the group, I was ready to get on

These relationships have helped to make one of Ohio State’s greatest defensive ends, five future NFL players in a single draft and has led to four straight years of the Buckeyes scaring opponents with a purely dominant defensive line.

The attention might be on quarterback Dwayne Haskins and running back J.K. Dobbins to lead the offense next year, but on the other end of the field, bet on Johnson leading this defensive line core to yet another impressive season.

These three will be counted upon to become leaders for the team, but head coach Steve Rohlik said it will take more than three players to get there.

“As a team, everybody needs to kind of step up and, obviously, become a better leader, it’s not always about the guys that are wearing the patches,” Rohlik said. “I’m really truly looking for all our returning guys to obviously step up and be a better leader.”

all of whom are seniors this year and have one final opportunity to bring home a title.

There might be an added pressure from outside sources who are already looking at this Ohio State team as one of the best teams in college hockey, but Rohlik said all the pressure comes from the team itself.

“Our players they want to go in there and expect to try to go out there and compete and win every night,” Rohlik said. “We want to go out with high expectations and I don’t think that’s extra pressure, I just think that’s good for our program.”

It’s one thing to have the goal of a championship in mind for a team. It’s another to consider a season as championship or bust.

10 athletes to watch

WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Sure, football will always be at the top of everyone’s minds on the Ohio State campus. And that, along with the impressive run from the men’s basketball team last year, makes players on these rosters stand out to most casual Buckeye fans.

But, Ohio State has plenty of other sports — and plenty of other athletes — worth noting, and worth remembering. From a goalie that broke a school record for consecutive clean sheets last season to a freshman that led her team in scoring on the way to a Frozen Four, here are 10 athletes you should know at Ohio State.

piece of this puzzle, ending last year as a second-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-Midwest region goalkeeper.

The then-junior started all 21 games for Ohio State and finished second in the conference, allowing only 0.63 goals per game. Her nine clean sheets were second all-time in program history for a single season. Kerr will need to continue to be the backbone of this team after losing two All-Americans to graduation.

Lili Piper (Softball)

Piper makes her second consecutive appearance on this list, this time because she has continued to be one of the most dominant players of any sport on this campus. In her junior season, Piper led her team in batting average (.404), runs (50), home runs (20), RBI (58), on-base percentage (.487) slugging percentage (.876) and stolen bases (9) on her way to being an NFCA second-team All-American.

The 5-foot-10 shortstop will need to continue her dominance in her senior season, after even with her dominant numbers, the Buckeyes have been eliminated in the first round of the NCAA tournament each of the past three seasons.

Carmen Grande (Women’s Basketball)

With the loss of one of the best basketball players this campus has ever seen in the form of Kelsey Mitchell, this women’s basketball team already was planning to look to new faces for success this year. However, the Buckeyes lost the majority of their roster to graduation, including both Mitchell and Stephanie Mavunga to the WNBA Draft.

Head coach Kevin McGuff has a tough road ahead, and Ball State graduate transfer Grande is the brightest place to look. Finishing with the second-most assists per game in the NCAA with 9.2 and tying for second on her team with 369 points, Grande looks to be the new floor general Ohio State will need to find success as it goes through a schedule that includes a juggernaut in UConn.

Eric Harrison (Track and Field)

After being a major factor in Ohio State’s first championship at the Men’s Outdoor Big Ten Championship in 25 years, Harrison enters his sophomore season a proven winner. Harrison was a member on the winning 4x100-meter relay team at that event, while also beating fellow teammate Nick Gray in the 200-meter dash. The USTFCCCA First Team All-American added to his hardware over the summer, taking home three medals at the IAAF U20 World Championships in Finland while competing for Team USA.

Devon Kerr (Women’s Soccer)

The women’s soccer team enjoyed a strong season a year ago, finishing with the best record in the Big Ten to wind up earning a four seed in the NCAA tournament before being bounced in the first round by Vanderbilt. Kerr was a large

er then-freshman, Tatum Skaggs, were the toptwo leading scorers for the Buckeyes a year ago.

Maltais scored 40 points in her first season as a Buckeye, which was good for the second-most in the WCHA, while also earning WCHA Rookie of the Year honors.

Maltais will be expected to step up in a big way following the transfer of goalie Kassidy Sauve. But with experience on Team Canada’s U18 team and her proven success in just one year, she should be up for the challenge.

MAC CONNOR | FOR THE LANTERN

Tanner Laczynski celebrates the game-winning goal in Ohio State’s 3-2 overtime win against Michigan.

Tanner Laczynski (Men’s Hockey)

The lead scorer on a men’s hockey team that earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and made its way to a Frozen Four appearance, Laczynski will look to make even more of an impact in his junior season. A Philadelphia Flyers draft pick in 2016, Laczynski has proven his worth as NHL talent with 79 points in 75 games in two seasons for the Buckeyes.

With most of the talent coming back for another season, this hockey team looks to be a favorite for title contention next year. Accompanied by strong goaltending in Sean Romeo, a top scorer in Mason Jobst and an added NHL prospect via transfer in Carson Meyer, Laczynski has all the pieces around him to have another tremendous season in the works.

Emma Maltais (Women’s Hockey)

Men’s hockey wasn’t the only Buckeye team on ice making historic runs last year. The women’s team also made a Frozen Four run that fell short in an 1-0 overtime loss to the eventual champs in Clarkson. Maltais will try to lead this Ohio State squad back this year, after her and the oth-

was a program record after he went over 605 minutes without allowing a goal.

With experience in the Columbus Crew Academy and three U.S. National teams, Siegfried could be the key to the soccer team’s success this season.

Madison Smeathers (Women’s Volleyball)

The team might have finished under .500 with a 15-16 record last season, but Smeathers remained a bright spot on the roster in her sophomore campaign, and should be a piece to build around if this team looks to make a turn around this year. Starting in 29 of the 30 games and finishing 10th in Big Ten games in hitting percentage, Smeathers remained one of the most consistent players on her team throughout the year.

Finishing fourth on the team in points last year, the junior middle blocker will look to lead her team to an improved season, starting with Albany at home on August 24.

Sanil Thomas (Men’s Volleyball)

While the women’s team looked to find some consistency, Ohio State’s men’s volleyball team enjoyed another impressive season, finishing 256, finishing the year with a loss to Long Beach State in the Final Four. Thomas is a major reason for the Buckeyes’ success, finishing with the most assists in the NCAA with 11.28 per set. A first team All-MIVA member and an honorable mention for All-American, Thomas is one of the best setters in the nation, and was a key asset in Ohio State finishing in the top three in both team hitting percentage and kills per set.

Only a year removed from their last NCAA championship, the Buckeyes look to compete yet again with Thomas setting in his senior season.

JJ Wolf (Men’s Tennis)

JACK WESTERHEIDE

Parker Siegfried throws the ball downfield in the game against BGSU on Sep. 22, 2017.

Parker Siegfried (Men’s Soccer)

The goalkeeper on the men’s side of the soccer scene at Ohio State is equally worth mentioning.

Siegfried has shown flashes of brilliances in his two seasons as a Buckeye. A Big Ten All-Freshman Team member in 2016, Siegfried followed that with a historic run of six consecutive shutouts in September. The six straight clean sheets

After falling in the championship as a team, the men’s tennis team looks to move on after the graduation of Mikael Torpegaard. And Wolf looks to be the man who can step into those big shoes. Finishing 25-9 in his sophomore season, Wolf showed moments of being one of the best members of the team at multiple times last season, and is the strongest returning member of a roster that was a win away from its first national title.

One of the major contributors during Ohio State’s 22-game win streak, Wolf should be the go-to guy for this year’s men’s tennis team that has its eyes set on revenge.

Men’s Lacrosse — Get back to NCAA Runner-up form A year after coming within a win from the program’s first ever NCAA title, the team finished a mere 8-7, ending the year on a 4-6 skid. Junior attacker Tre Leclaire still led the team in goals with 26, but had a down year after igniting with 49 goals in his freshman season.

Freshman midfielder Jackson Reid had a terrific first season, ending with the secondmost goals on the team at 23. The problem might have come on the other end of the field, with neither goalie able to find their stride enough to take the starting role, ending with a combined .504 save percentage, well under the average of Ohio State’s opponents (.553).

The good news for this team is that — in a bizarre pattern — the Buckeyes have fared significantly better every other season. In each of the 2011-12, 2013-14, 2015-16 and 2017-18 seasons, Ohio State failed to surpass eight wins. However, in the 2012-13, 201415 and 2016-17 seasons, the Buckeyes won at least 12 games and reached the NCAA tournament.

Coming off a year in which it had just eight wins, Ohio State will hope history repeats itself and the team is able to turn itself around.

Women’s Soccer —- Keep the tournament appearances going Though the Buckeyes fell short of advancing in the tournament after an early exit to Vanderbilt, the four-seed meant the eighth trip to the NCAA tournament in nine years for Ohio State.

Ohio State finished 15-5 last season, winning nine of the last 11 before the tournament exit. It brings back senior goalkeeper Devon Kerr, who had an impressive season in the net for the Buckeyes in the 2017 campaign.

Senior forward Eleanor Gabriel is the highest goal scorer returning to the team, netting seven goals in 32 shots last season.

With both Gabriel and Kerr gone after next year, head coach Lori Walker-Hock should hope to make a deep tournament run this season before looking for new leaders.

Men’s Volleyball — Setter becomes leader With the loss of Nicolas Szerszen and Maxime Hervoir, Ohio State will have a much younger team when it searches for yet another national championship run.

However, the player setting the attackers up for success remains the same.

Taking over for Christy Blough last season, senior Sanil Thomas led the country with 11.28 assists per set, being named to the All-MIVA first team last season. As the starting setter in all 31 matches last season, Thomas recorded 1,309 assists and 216 digs last season, each ranked in the Top-20 for a single season in Ohio State history.

Thomas is not the only player returning for the Buckeyes though. Redshirt senior Blake Leeson, who finished behind Szerszen and Hervoir with 190 kills during the 2018-19 season, will be the primary attacker for Ohio State next season.

The right health insurance coverage matters.

Ask the questions now for peace of mind later Does my student’s health insurance have the same coverage of services away from home?

Are there in network providers on campus or close to campus?

Do we need a different policy?

What university options are available and when?

Compare, Decide, Confirm.

Health insurance is the last thing your student will be thinking about, which is why you should.

Gateway Film Center to welcome five new tenants in the fall CHASE-ANTHONY RAY Arts & Life Editor ray.461@osu.edu The voids left at Gateway in the university district are soon going to be filled with five new tenants scheduled to open their doors in the fall.

These new stores will open up shortly after a series of closures have impacted the Gateway area, closing both the Ugly Tuna Saloona, a popular bar for students, and Mad Mex, a mexican restaurant residing directly below Ugly Tuna.

The five additions will take up more than 14,000 square feet of space at Gateway, according to the press release.

Moving in will be Abercrombie & Fitch, a popular clothing store; Good Night John Boy, a 70s-themed tavern; Elia Athenian Grill, a greek restaurant; Coffee Connections, a family-owned coffee shop; and City Gear, a clothing store selling mixed brands of clothing and shoes.

Abercrombie & Fitch, an American retailer headquartered in New Albany, Ohio,

Five new tenants are set to open in new gateway spaces in the fall.

is scheduled to open up in August, the press release said. It will offer students the chance to have products ordered online and picked up at the store’s location at 1614 N. High St. or head to the store and place an online order on a 30-inch interactive screen.

This location also will be used by the

Abercrombie & Fitch Brand Ambassador program in an effort to build a relationship with Ohio State University, according to a press release.

Good Night John Boy will be opening up at the intersection of N. High St. and the Gateway Plaza. It will have a “70s inspired vibe and attitude” that offers food including “chef-driven biscuit sandwiches.”

The tavern will take up 3,000 square feet.

It is owned by Cleveland-based Forward Hospitality Group, which also operates Flip Side at Easton. The press release does not specify in what month it will open, stating only that it will open in Fall 2018.

The Elia Athenian Grill, opening up at 14 E. 11th Ave., is a locally owned greek restaurant that will occupy 2,236 square feet of space. Customers will be able to create their own pitas, salads and grain bowls with select toppings. This is the second Elia Athenian Grill to open in Columbus, with the second location in downtown Columbus.

It is scheduled to open in September.

Providing college students with another source of caffeine is the local coffee shop

Coffee Connections, which will be opening at 1572 N. High St., its second location in central Ohio. Coffee Connections also has a location in Hilliard. The shop will take up 886 square feet and offer students coffee, fruit slushies and milkshakes. Like Good Night John Boy, it also does not have a specific month for opening beyond that it will open in the fall.

The latest clothing store to open its doors on High St. will be City Gear, opening at 1624 N. High St. and occupying 4,457 square feet of space. Given an opening time period of Fall 2018, City Gear will offer students a chance to purchase name-brand products from retailers like Nike, Adidas, Converse and North Face, the press release said. It is part of a national chain headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.

WHAT HASN’T

SHUT DOWN SYDNEY RIDDLE Assistant Arts & Life Editor riddle.136@osu.edu

Newport Music Hall One of the best concert venues in town and it’s right on campus.

Newport hosts a plethora of musical acts passing through Columbus throughout the year.

St. Lucia, Andy Grammer, Cherub and Owl City are just a few acts scheduled this fall season.

Starbucks Good ol’ trusty Starbucks never lets us down. Not only is the No. 1 coffee spot on 14th and High still open, it’s newly renovated.

This Starbucks is close to campus, student friendly, packed with tables to study, a patio to enjoy a cold brew in the sun and, my personal favorite, four different kinds of cake pops. An option closer to the dorms is the Starbucks inside the new Target on High Street. Although not a standalone ‘bucks, it still provides you with your caffeine needs.

Both are easily accessible and aren’t closing anytime soon.

ARTS & LIFE | Buckeye Bound | 49

Fourth Street Bar & Grill Located on Fourth Street and 15th, this student favorite bar has some of the biggest deals in town, and an even bigger patio. It hosts a trivia night every Monday and have the best karaoke night every Wednesday. The Americanstyle menu serves burgers, wings, nachos and more. It also serves brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It seems like everything has been shutting down the past few months here around campus. We said goodbye to local eateries such as Mad Mex and fanfavorite bars like the beloved O Patio and Pub, but don’t let these few losses distract you from what High Street still has to offer.

Here are a few things that are near and dear to our hearts, and, more importantly, haven’t shut down.

WHAT’S NEW: Target This brand new campus installation has been highly anticipated by the Ohio State community and is finally here. The small-format store has a smaller selection of items and goods that are focused towards the needs of students. Ohio State gear, basic human needs, Starbucks and groceries are just a few of the items that fill up the 28,000 square foot space. If that isn’t enough, it also accepts BuckID.

Stores at Gateway A lot of spaces at Gateway shutdown this summer, but they’re making it up to us by adding five new tenants. Moving in will be Abercrombie & Fitch; Good Night John Boy, a 70s-themed tavern; Greek restaurant Elia Athenian Grill; Coffee Connections; and the clothing store City Gear.

NAVAL RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS Trism This bar, venue and eatery hybrid on 11th and High recently opened to the Ohio State community. It serves as the home to Alchemy, a health-conscious menu consisting of various avocado toasts, smoothie bowls and more, that is open during the day for students to grab a quick snack or to enjoy a brunch with friends on their outdoor patio. By night, Trism removes their indoor seating and transforms into a venue that hosts concerts, art shows and other curated events.

Top 10 must-do activities around Columbus MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu Columbus Zoo & Aquarium The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium is home to animals from across the world. Divided into different countries, the zoo allows visitors to see animals such as giraffes in “The Heart of Africa,” red pandas in “Asia Quest” and manatees in the aquarium. In the winter, employees light up the zoo with LED lights for its annual Wildlights, where there are animated light shows all around the park. The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium is located at 4850 Powell Road in Powell, Ohio.

Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum According to Ohio State, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum is the “world’s largest collection of materials related to cartoons and comics,” housing original art, books, magazines, journals, comic books, archived materials and newspaper comic strip pages and clippings. The cartoon library is an “archival facility,” so students who wish to view items cannot take them outside the library’s reading room or can schedule tours of the stacks. The library is located in Sullivant Hall, right next to the Ohio Union.

COSI The Center of Science and Industry, or COSI, offers many visual and hands-on exhibits for its visitors and looks to inspire “the scientists, dreamers, and innovators of tomorrow,” according to its website. Exhibits that COSI offers range from ones where visitors can learn about the physical nature of water and the ocean, to Ohio’s largest planetarium where people can view Ohio skies at night. COSI is located downtown at 333 W. Broad St. and is accessible by the COTA bus system, but the science center also occasionally hosts nights just for Ohio State students. For those nights, there is a special CABS shuttle that can bring students from campus to the science center.

The Short North The Short North Arts District has everything. There are art galleries, locally unique restaurants, clothing stores, live music and more. The Short North is not a single place, but rather a strip of High Street that runs from just south of campus to downtown, and mostly hosts local-owned Columbus businesses and restaurants ranging from stores like Global Gifts — a non-profit fair trade store — to the Mediterranean casual sandwich shop Brassica. The Short North also hosts events such as its monthly Gallery Hop (see below) to the HighBall Halloween costume party.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens With over 400 species of plants from around the world, the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is located at 1777 E. Broad St. downtown. Similar to the zoo, the conservatory is split into biomes from different parts of the world such as the “Himalayan Mountain Biome” and

“Rainforest Biome.” It also offers many seasonal exhibits, such as “Blooms & Butterflies” — an exhibit where visitors can see a wide variety of butterflies — and also the conservatory’s bonsai tree display, both of which are happening right now.

Columbus Museum of Art The Columbus Museum of Art is located downtown at 480 E. Broad St. and hosts many art exhibitions and artwork by local Columbus artists. Currently the art museum is hosting art exhibitions such as “A Measure of Humanity,” an exhibition that explores the quantification of the human identity and behavior.

North Market Italy. Belgium. India. Located downtown on 59 Spruce St., the North Market lets its visitors travel the world in one location, offering a wide variety of shopping and eating experiences. If you want to experience Nepalese Momos — a

type of South Asian dumpling — you can stop by Momo Ghar. If you want donuts, Destination Donuts is the best place for vegans and non-vegans alike. The North Market even houses vendors that sell fresh fish, produce and cookware. Students who don’t have a car can easily take the 2 or 1 COTA bus heading south on High Street and get off at the North High & Swan Street stop.

Katalina’s Tucked away in a neighborhood just south of campus, Katalina’s is a popular brunch spot among students and is especially known for its pancake balls. While the cafe is housed in a renovated 100-year-old gas station, it offers breakfast for all kinds of people, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. For those who feel that 1105 Pennsylvania Avenue is too far of a journey, it was reported that Katalina’s will be opening a location north of campus in Clintonville either later this year or in early 2019.

Gallery Hop Gallery Hop is an event in the Short North that happens on the first Saturday of every month. As “Columbus’ favorite night of the month to celebrate art,” according to the Short North Arts District website, those who walk through the Short North that day can listen to street performers and see art in non-traditional galleries like restaurants and salons. There also are vendors who sell handcrafted items, along with the regularly opened Short North businesses.

Gateway Film Center The Gateway Film Center isn’t your movie theater chain.

While it does show many mainstream movies, it also lets moviegoers watch indie movies and documentaries, older movie classics and occasionally early screenings to highly-anticipated movies. Students can purchase discounted movie tickets for $7.50 at the film center’s box office or a movie voucher for $3 if students purchase them through Ohio State’s Discount Ticket Program. Gateway is located on 1550 N. High St., right next to the university bookstore.

IPADS

Apps to keep you on track SYDNEY RIDDLE Assistant Arts & Life Editor riddle.136@osu.edu

Class Timetable

iPads are incredible tools that can be utilized in furthering education.

Ohio State has recognized this and made the decision to grant the entire class of 2022 with one for this very purpose. Yes, there’s no denying they’re going to be used for platforms such as social media and Hulu as well. But don’t let that distract you from the full potential of what your iPad can do.

Here are some of the best apps that can make life a lot easier as a student in and out of class.

Keep your life in order with this handy electronic planner.

Keep track of your class schedule, any upcoming events, exam and homework due dates, work schedule, upcoming appointments — whatever you can think of. You can add the exact time of your classes and it will send you daily reminders of what you have going on for that specific day. It’s also free for all the college students ballin’ on a budget.

Quizlet Create study guides for upcoming quizzes and tests while also saving paper. Paper flashcards are helpful, but they create a lot of waste and are the source of many hand cramps.

You can look at other people’s study sets or share your own.

There are diagrams and guides for pretty much any subject imaginable and it only costs $20 a year.

Family-owned meat manufacturing facility for more than 80 years

Chegg We all know Chegg as one of the best book rental sites – everyone uses it. Buying online versions of your required textbooks is an easier and quicker way to access what you need. Your iPad can become a portable library that weighs a lot less and saves you a penny or two.

MyScript Calculator Unlike a traditional calculator, MyScript is an app that allows you to write any equation by hand, which, in my opinion, is a lot easier and faster than typing complicated formulas on a small screen. Writing out formulas by hand also assists in memorizing and remembering equations you need to know better than pressing buttons. It only costs $1.99 and is a life saver for that upcoming math exam.

Located on the west side of Columbus 10 minutes from campus!

With opportunities on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift in Maintenance, Quality Assurance, Internship and Management Training Programs, and General Labor positions Contact Anne Miller for interest, inquiries or to submit resumes at amiller@bwfoods.com

Alarmy Waking up for class is usually the hardest part of the day. If you find yourself constantly running late to your 8 a.m. lecture, Alarmy — the app that dares you to ‘sleep if you can’ — literally forces you to get out of bed. The only way to turn off the alarm is to complete one of the tasks it assigns you, for example, taking a picture of a specific object or solving a math equation. It’s annoying, but super effective. You’ll never lose points for being late again.

Columbus Coffee Guide

IMAGE AND ILLUSTRATION BY JACK WESTERHEIDE

RACHEL BULES Managing Editor for Content bules.7@osu.edu My devout love (or perhaps dependency) on the magical substance that is coffee was established very early on in my freshman year at Ohio State.

Need to be somewhat responsive in case you are called on during your 8 a.m. lecture? Coffee. Have a midterm and a presentation tomorrow, and need to be alert and functioning at the library until well past midnight? Coffee. Did you perhaps slightly overdo it on drinks last night and you woke up with a pounding headache? Coffee, a chocolate chip pancake at Sloopy’s and a side of two extra-strength Excedrin.

While Ohio State is the perfect environment for developing and nurturing its students’ initial appreciation for coffee, seeing as it is readily available for purchase at all dining locations on campus, many people find themselves ready to graduate to a more mature roast than Crimson Cup (sorry, C.C. fans, if you even exist — ew).

In that case, Columbus is the city for you. There are scores of amazing little coffee shops tucked away around the city.

For convenience, I will focus on the shops that are within walking or biking distance of campus.

Kafe Kerouac: 2250 N. High St. Vinyl record and book store, coffee shop and alcohol-serving bar, with a stage that regularly hosts poetry readings, musical acts, and more. This place is the definition of multi-functional. A wonderful study spot by day, with an eclectic arrangement of well-used and comfy furniture, as well as a nice little patio area facing High Street.

As you might have guessed by the name, the shop’s theme draws heavily from literature: the specialty drinks on the menu are all named after famous authors. If you go, I will offer a recommendation: the Jane Austen latte (white chocolate and hazelnut) — iced if it’s warm out, hot if it isn’t.

Buckeye Donuts: 1998 N. High St. Okay. Let me preface this description with a hot take. I don’t necessarily think Buckeye Donuts has amazing coffee. It’s very average. HOWEVER! Buckeye Donuts is a shining pinnacle of the off-campus High Street landscape as we know it. If anything happens to this place, I will lead the riot.

Where the heck else am I supposed to go for food if I’m hungry at 4 a.m.? It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Bless those late workers. Its amazing doughnuts are $0.99. In this economy? Buckeye Donuts has my back.

Only bone I have to pick with their kitchen: red velvet doughnuts should NOT

be seasonal. That is a year-round flavor! My standard order there is a cup of dark roast coffee, a bacon, egg and cheese croissant, and a German chocolate doughnut, red velvet if they have them. If I’m there at 2 a.m.? The gyros are amazing.

Fox in the Snow Cafe: 1031 N. Fourth St. Your Instagram feed might already be inundated with photos of this truly aesthetic experience of a coffee shop. This place really does live up to the hype, both in the quality of its menu items and the ambience of the space itself. The iconic fox logo coupled with some of the most beautiful pastries I’ve ever seen (baked fresh every morning) and a nice cup of coffee is the perfect algorithm for a serene Instagram story.

Really, the only con with this place is that it’s so deservedly popular that it’s often very busy, since it’s not a huge space. My recommendation is to try and visit this place on its off-hours — early morning or middle to late afternoon. Early morning is best because the pastries are fresh, and the kitchen won’t have run out of any of them yet.

I also love this place because there’s no Wi-Fi, so it really is the perfect place to catch up with a friend. My standard order there is the darkest roast drip coffee with a seasonal fruit galette: peach in the summer, blueberry in the winter.

Northstar Cafe: 951 N. High St. If you have never been, you really need to go. This is the perfect “my parents are in town for the weekend and I want to take them someplace nice for lunch” restaurant.

I really only have one coffee-based menu item I need to talk about here, because I’ve honestly never tried anything else since I fell in love with this drink. The mint iced coffee changed my life.

Based on how much I love this place as an entity, I would be willing to vouch for the fact that the rest of the coffee-based beverages also are probably very good.

However, I will never know this based on personal experience because I would feel as if I was committing a cardinal sin by entering this establishment and NOT getting a mint iced coffee. Served in a tall glass with not too much ice, a perfect coffee-to-cream ratio, and a light mintiness with a sprig of actual mint on top makes this drink the epitome of refreshment.

If you want to get food with it, I’d recommend the classic cheeseburger, which I would go so far as to say is also the best cheeseburger in Columbus, but I shall save that evaluation for another time.

Ohio Stadium

391 Neil Ave. Located right next to Express Live, the Basement is housed underneath A&R Music Bar, which host national acts on almost a weekly basis. This venue is perfect for fans who love smaller and more intimate concerts with upcoming acts. The Basement has a sunken pit that allows fans to get close to the stage, while A&R has a smaller outdoor patio that’s great for shows when the weather is in the warmer months. The Basement and A&R will host acts like Blessthefall, Meg Myers and Red Fang this fall.

Express Live 405 Neil Ave. Express Live doubles as one of the most prolific and accommodating venues in Columbus. Located southwest of campus, the venue has a 2,200 indoor maximum capacity and a 5,200 outdoor maximum capacity. In the past, Express Live has hosted acts like Paramore, Foster the People and Jack White. This fall, All Time Low and Snow Patrol will perform at Express Live.

411 Woody Hayes Dr. Ohio Stadium, also known as the Shoe, is home to the Ohio State football team and the Best Damn Band in the Land. While most students will be spending their Saturday afternoons tailgating and cheering on the Buckeyes, the stadium also hosts the largest acts that arrive in Columbus. With the capacity to seat more than 80,000 for concerts, acts like Taylor Swift and Buckeye Country Superfest have brought out enormous crowds to the Shoe. This fall, look forward to Beyoncé and Jay Z touching down in the stadium for the latest stop on their summer tour.

The Basement and A&R Music Bar

Whether your favorite genre of music is country, hip-hop, pop, rock or everything in between, it’s almost a guarantee there’s a concert going on somewhere in Columbus on any given night. As a first-year student at Ohio State, you have the privilege of having access to seeing some of your favorite musicians — mainstream or indie — live within a 10-mile radius.

Schottenstein Center

Nationwide Arena

555 Borror Dr. Home to the Ohio State men’s basketball and hockey team, the Schottenstein Center has a maximum capacity of 18,000-plus and has shown some of the biggest acts like Kanye West and Little Big Town. Because the ‘Schott’ gets more frequent events than Nationwide, expect to see acts like J. Cole, Def Leppard and Elton John this fall.

200 W. Nationwide Blvd.

Set in the heart of Columbus’ arena district downtown, Nationwide Arena is home to the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. However, it also doubles as a prime tour stop for some of the biggest musicians in the world. With a maximum capacity of 20,000, Nationwide Arena has served as a venue for big acts like Sam Smith and Chance the Rapper. This fall, look forward to acts like Fall Out Boy, Kevin Hart and Maroon 5 touching down at the arena.

Trism

1636 N. High St. Within its inception on Ohio State’s campus last year, Trism has proven itself as a transformative eatery by day, bar by night and event space for concerts.

While you walk by Trism during the day, you’re sure to see students drinking fresh smoothies on the outdoor patio. Walk by it at night, however, and you’ll see hundreds of students going crazy to the sounds of popular electronic DJs. In the past, Trism has hosted acts like Cosmic Gate and Throttle.

Skully’s Music Diner

Newport Music Hall

1151 N. High St. Whether you just want to see a local act or dance to the sounds of a popular DJ, Skully’s club-like atmosphere will definitely suit your needs. The upper-level and restaurant style seating in the front is a nice contrast to the main dance floor. In the past, Skully’s has hosted acts like the Plain White T’s, and this fall you can check out acts like Walker & Royce, Cupcakke, Japanese Breakfast and Skizzy Mars.

1722 N. High St. Just across from the Ohio Union lies the Newport Music Hall, easily the most convenient concert venue on campus. Originally built as a movie theatre in 1923, Newport has held its own as a popular concert location that host national acts with substantial followings. With a 1,700 maximum capacity, Newport has a general admission pit and an upper balcony for a prime viewing experience in intimate shows. Look forward to acts like St. Lucia, Owl City and Lecrae to perform at Newport this fall.

Why your dollar goes further at Gateway Film Center

ILLUSTRATION BY JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu The Gateway Film Center has been my movie theater of choice for its convenient location, cheap prices and the continuously diverse set of films it brings through the doors.

However, Gateway is different than other theaters for its atmosphere and ability to bring a little bit of everything to the table to appeal to moviegoers of all sorts.

The Good As I said before, Gateway is cheap. Like, really cheap, in comparison to the rest of its competition. The student discount of $7.50 is a great start, but when adding in the $5 Tuesday deal and the $3 discount through D-tix, it’s almost impossible to pass up. The concessions also run lower than any of the competing cinemas such as AMC Lennox and Marcus Crosswoods, making Gateway the most fiscally understanding theater around Ohio State.

The location on High Street is another bonus, making the theater an easily accessible place if a big movie is released.

The location also makes the movie theater somewhere that students can stop by after class to escape from the stresses

of college life.

Gateway also does a terrific job finding movies for everyone. Where other theaters focus on the films that will make them money, Gateway’s goal, on the other hand, is to introduce the people of Columbus to a diverse range of movies, ones that would likely not be screened in the city otherwise –– often showing classics, foreign films and the critically acclaimed movies that were released in a mere three theaters worldwide.

Along with the movies you might have never heard of, you also get the big blockbusters that larger audiences need to see, making Gateway a great mix for everyone.

While I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who cares about their well-being, the fact that Gateway has the Groundhog Day Marathon, a 24-hour marathon where participants watch the 1993 film “Groundhog Day” 12 times in a row, just shows how awesome the theater is. And for those who complete the event, Gateway gives out free movie tickets for a year.

Events like these, as well as Gateway’s love of cult classics and cinematic landmarks allows for something new every day, and is just another thing that makes the theater such an unparalleled experience.

The art displayed in Gateway’s halls is a great little bonus to walk through on the way to your theater, since the pieces are almost always sure to wow with a new theme and a terrific level of artistic genius that is somehow related back to film.

The Bad None. I mean, once in a while it doesn’t have a movie that I wanted to see, but I see as many movies as humanly possible. So, yeah, none.

Conclusion The Gateway Film Center is the best theater for Ohio State students for a reason. The movies, the prices and the experience add up to a terrific movie theater. So for me, it’s no question: Gateway is Ohio State’s movie theater.

I’ve never been to Late Night Slice, which, for all the new students entering Ohio State, is considered a criminal offense in the city of Columbus.

The pizza joint won Ohio State’s best pizza place last year, so I had to investigate for everyone. What made this particular pizza place the best? Was I insane for never experiencing this supposedly magical pizza? Was it even that good? Am I dumb for asking that question?

First thing was first, I had to do some research. I investigated the general information first.

Cool location? Check. $4 slices?

Worth it for the size. Open until 3 a.m.? Even better.

I then opened my reliable Yelp app, because, if you weren’t aware, everyone on Yelp is a professional food critic. I knew I could trust these people. Sarah S. said it was “REALLY” good pizza. Mike D. said it was his favorite pizza place in town. Julia J. said the staff was super friendly and fast. Gettin M. (cool name) said “Ayo, I like this joint man.”

My personal favorite was Jake D. who said “Anyone that Yelps this restaurant at less than five stars is an actual zombie.”

James W. said it gave him food poisoning, but I ignored that one.

With the bar set relatively high and America’s Test Kitchen podcast full volume to get into

the foodie mood, I made my way downtown. The uber ride was only $8, which already earned the place major points.

The red brick building and the flashing neon signs made the restaurant stick out like a journalism major walking through the engineering building. I took note of the outdoor patio — it was small, but the cute dog hanging out there helped me look past its shortcomings in size.

When I got inside my eyes didn’t know where to look first. The eclectic array of paintings and photos on the wall? The “before I die” chalkboard that someone had written “spoon Reese Witherspoon” on?

The bar with every bottle of alcohol imaginable? The two children having a pool stick sword fight?

Remaining focused, I checked out the menu. Six different kinds of pizza by the slice or as full pies. Twelve specialty pizzas. A build your own option. Salad options lovingly labeled as “rabbit food.”

Breadsticks! Cheezy breadsticks!

Cannoli chips?! Something called the Cheezus Crust? My mind was racing.

I approached the counter and was greeted by the staff. I congratulated the employees on winning Ohio State’s best pizza place and they were genuinely psyched about it. I asked my new friends if they knew how to toss pizza dough like a professional and they honored me with a live demonstration. I asked if I could try but the manager said no. In hindsight it was probably for the best.

After thinking way too hard about it, I ordered a slice of mushroom with roasted garlic and a side of breadsticks. I told the man I ordered from it was okay for me to get both because I was carb loading for my workout tomorrow. (I have no intentions of working out tomorrow.)

Pizza and breadsticks in hand, they directed me to the sauce station.

Ranch, garlic sauce, a spicy sauce, and something called unicorn sauce.

Being the meticulous professional I am, I got all four.

It was time. The moment of truth.

I didn’t know where to start. Pizza or breadsticks first? Should I dip my first bite in one of the sauces? Which sauce? All four at once? Am I in over my head?

I figured the best first impression would be the pizza by itself. The slice was bigger than my face and longer than my forearm. The thin crust was crisp but not burnt. The mushrooms were perfectly scattered and the garlic was seamlessly roasted.

I took my first bite, followed by four more dipped in each individual sauce.

I ate the entire slice and every single breadstick in under 11 minutes.

(I timed myself.) When I finished, I sat in my booth and reflected on what I had just experienced. It was

delicious. The tastes sang sweet melodies to my taste buds. Each sauce brought something different to the table. It was a complete team effort from every ingredient.

I tried to think of one bad thing and all I could come up with was that the bathroom was out of paper towels.

Everything about Late Night Slice had character. The art, the lighting, the seating, the pool table in the corner, the wall of old records, the mural of The Last Supper, the neon graffiti that covered every surface of the place including the trash can. It was alluring.

The staff was fun, the location is perfectly stationed by the downtown bars (and conveniently open until 3 in the morning). And better yet, the food was phenomenally delicious and perfectly greasy.

With my investigation complete, I was satisfied with my results. I could now say I understood why Late Night Slice won Ohio State’s best, and I completely agreed with the outcome.

I said goodbye to the staff and told them I’d be returning shortly. They laughed and responded, “most people do.”

SYDNEY RIDDLE Asst. Arts & Life Editor riddle.136@osu.edu Two weeks of groceries for less than $50 With the lowest prices in the game and off-brand cereal as far as the eye can see, Aldi is a broke college student’s dream.

Two weeks of groceries for less than $50 seems unrealistic, but at Aldi, I was able to make the impossible possible.

Grab a quarter for your shopping cart — it’s the only way to get a cart at Aldi, though you get it back when you return it — and some reusable grocery bags: We’re going shopping.

Opinion: Luxury apartment supply greatly outweighs current demand RACHEL BULES Managing Editor for Content bules.7@osu.edu If you have driven down the campus area of High Street in the past year, you must have seen the sudden crop of high-end luxury apartment complexes springing up on every street corner.

You also might have also noticed that in many of the still-under-construction windows facing High Street, there are advertisements screaming “SIGN A LEASE, GET FREE CHIPOTLE FOR A YEAR!” or some marketing plea to a similar effect.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that none of these new complexes are completed yet! Do the developers know that school starts in one month, with most off-campus students signing leases nearly a year ago?

I’m no detective, but I would be willing to bet that these luxury apartment complexes are really scrambling to find tenants for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year.

Nor am I an economist, and I can’t say I retained tons of knowledge from my freshman year macro and microeconomics classes that I barely squeaked through. B, but I learned enough to

know this: when your supply far outweighs your demand, you risk the market for your product crashing to the ground.

You know how baby boomers like to blame young people for things like the shrinking market for luxury jewelry and the fact that we would rather eat avocados and drink lattes than buy houses and pay mortgages? I’m going to flip that one on its head and thank baby boomers for the housing bubble burst and subsequent recession of 2008. Thank you for that.

It would seem that history is repeating itself 10ten years later in the microcosm of Ohio State, and it will be interesting to sit back on the sagging porch of my current 100-year old sublet house and watch it play out.

Here’s my theory: Tons of development and leasing companies watched The View on High have amazing success when their apartment building debuted on Woodruff and High a few years ago. People were lining up to sign leases, the units were filled, and Hometeam Properties were collecting thousands of dollars per month from every single unit.

Too many people tried to replicate it, but were too late on cornering a good

spot in the market or a prime location on High Street, and now they are scrambling to fill their units.

According to a March article in The Dispatch, five new “luxury” apartment complexes are opening in the immediate Ohio State campus area for the 20182019 school year. The cheapest way one person could live in a shared apartment is for $799 a month (so $800). Of these five new complexes, 1,000 beds need to be filled. I am skeptical of that happening.

Most of the complexes are still under construction and not all units can be viewed by potential lessees. That, which means they are currently expecting 1,000 college-age people (and definitely their parents) to sign a contract for a $12,000-ish year housing situation before they get to see their actual unit, when there are still tons of viable existing off-campus housing options available to them.

Add into this luxury apartment algorithm that you have Ohio State requiring all students to live in on-campus housing for two years now, which leaves a smaller pool of students who are seeking off-campus housing, and that just deepens the issue.

I think that these luxury apartment

developers are truly underestimating the amount of college students who are perfectly comfortable living in the dilapidated shanty town of off-campus student housing east of Pearl Street. We’ve been doing this for a long time. We know how to live in our own filth of empty Natty Light cans and accumulated layers of grime from decades of tenants before us. It strengthens our immune systems.

My prediction is that these luxury apartments are going to need to lower their prices, and they will begin to accumulate more tenants over next few years as new students continue to funnel into Ohio State and paying more in rent becomes the norm.

Hopefully the development of new complexes is done, sinceas I think the campus area has reached a cap on how many luxury apartments need to be in this area. College students don’t mind living in dumps, because we know once we graduate and hopefully get jobs with our shiny new Ohio State degrees, we can afford to live in less-expensive luxury apartments in nicer areas with the same amenities.

For now, living in crappy off-campus housing just builds character.
