Jon Waters to look for a new job, could be away from music Logan hickman Campus editor hickman.201@osu.edu After nearly four months of vying for his job back, ousted Ohio State Marching Band director Jonathan Waters is starting to look beyond the university that fired him — something he said is one of the most difficult decisions he’s ever had to make.

And although he has repeatedly said his only wish is to be reinstated to what was once his dream job, Waters said he’s being a realist and has recognized that his next move might not be in music.

“In my job, I needed to be creative and there are a lot of jobs that require creativity,” he said. “In my job, I was a logistics manager and there are a lot of jobs that I could get managing logistics.”

Waters also said he has thought about pursuing something that involves public speaking, inspiring students or bringing groups of people together and managing them — all skills he learned while at the helm of the marching band.

“I have to feed my family and to do that, I will do any job big or small,” he said.

Most jobs comparable to his former one at OSU are located out of state and would require his family to move — which he said has been weighing heavily on him in the past weeks.

“Our kids are 10, 9 and 7 ages respectively and they are very well established in school with their friends and their teachers.

We are established with our friends and our family, with our support system — everything around us is rooted here in Central Ohio,” he said.

The former director also said the OSU investigation that led to his firing will make it challenging to get a job somewhere else. That investigation found that the band contained a sexualized culture that Waters was reasonably aware of, or should have been aware of, but didn’t do enough to stop.

Amanda etchison Senior Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu Ohio State faculty and staff’s opinion of workplace culture has decreased over the past three years, according to a recent OSU study. Meanwhile, faculty satisfaction with parking costs and satisfaction with salary also yielded results that showed a decline from previous years.

The study asked for the opinion of faculty and staff and found 78.8 percent were satisfied with their position at the university — the lowest percentage recorded in response to this question since the survey was first offered every three years since 2008.

According to the “Faculty and Staff Surveys: 2014 Results, 2008, (and) 2011 Comparison” report, published online by the OSU Offices of Human Resources and Institutional Research and Planning, the 2014 report yielded a 2.1 percentage point decrease from the 2011 survey’s response

of 80.9 percent in regards to the satisfaction question.

Reasoning for results

Anne Nagy, associate vice president for talent and organizational development at OSU, said the decline in employees’ satisfaction with their positions could be attributed to university-wide issues occurring at the time of the survey, mainly uncertainty in leadership as the university searched for a new president last spring.

“At the time the 2014 survey was administered, the university was going through immense change and uncertainty awaiting new leadership, which may have influenced this outcome,” Nagy said in an email.

Michael Drake took over as OSU’s president in July. The survey was conducted during a three week period starting at the end of February, said Julie Carpenter-Hubin, assistant vice president for the Institution Research and Planning. Joseph Alutto was serving as interim president of OSU at the time.

Although many factors might explain the 2.1 percentage point decrease in the 2014 data, Scott Jaschik, editor and co-founder of Inside Higher Ed, a website that shares news articles, opinion pieces and job openings related to higher education systems, said he does not think the changing leadership would have that much of an impact on employee satisfaction.

“For most faculty members and for most administrators … they are not dealing with the president on a daily basis,” he said.

“Whether a faculty member is happy may have much more to do with the department head than the president.”

The 2011 survey results recorded the highest percentage of faculty and staff satisfaction with their position at the university. The first surveys, conducted in 2008, showed a satisfaction rate of 79.1 percent — still about 0.3 percentage points higher than 2014’s results.

Carpenter-Hubin said the decrease might

Drug paraphernalia A male staff member called University Police after he smelled what he thought was burnt marijuana in a South Campus residence hall on Monday at about 11:30 p.m.

When officers arrived at the room where the staff member smelled the marijuana, they saw the student who lived there coming out of the bathroom. The student, who was visibly shaking, then went into another room after pausing for a moment, according to a University Police report.

The officers started knocking on the door, where they also smelled burnt marijuana.

After a short time, the student came out of the other room he was in and told the officers they had been knocking on his door. He told the officers he was nervous because he had been smoking marijuana in his room, according to the report.

He told the police they could come in his room, but once the two officers started to walk into the room with him, he started shaking and he looked to the right. He then tried to shove the officers away and said “No, I don’t want you to come in my room.”

The two officers grabbed his arm when he started shoving them and said they would get a police warrant so they could search the room if the student wouldn’t let them in. One of the officers also told the student he would be punched if he didn’t relax.

They carried the student into the hallway, where he agreed to get his paraphernalia and let them into his room. The student said he had just been scared.

He gave them a film container that had marijuana in it and one of the officers found a pipe hidden behind a bottle nearby. The officers asked if there were any other items in the room, and the student said no and gave them permission to search the room.

The officers didn’t find any other items and

Scott’s helping hand sparks new-look Buckeyes tim moody Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu In the first two games of the 2013-14 season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team tallied 27 assists.

Through two games this season, Shannon Scott has 25.

The No. 20 Buckeyes — playing without their top three scorers from last season — are 2-0 and shooting 63.3 percent from the field in those two games.

After OSU’s 74-63 win against Marquette on Tuesday, Scott — who had 14 of the team’s 23 assists in the game — said his teammates have a different offensive mindset than they did a year ago.

“I think last year, we would play the same way at times, but players didn’t know if they wanted to shoot the ball or not,” Scott said. “I think this year everybody knows that when they touch the ball, it’s gonna be their shot, and they gotta make the shot.”

Against the Golden Eagles, making the shot is exactly what the Buckeyes did, and what they have done consistently through 80 minutes of basketball this year. With five new players contributing to the scoring output, the shooting — and making — has come on the shoulders of a variety of players.

Including a true freshman, a redshirt-freshman and a redshirtsenior playing in their first seasons at OSU, six different Buckeyes have scored in double figures at some point this season. Four of those six players have averaged double digits through two games, and two of those four didn’t take the court last season.

Senior guard Shannon Scott dribbles the ball during a game against Marquette on Nov. 18 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 74-63.

The distribution of scoring has led to all 10 OSU players who have taken the court this season scoring on both games.

With senior forward Sam Thompson, senior centers Amir Williams and Trey McDonald, redshirt-senior forward Anthony Lee, sophomore forward Marc Loving, redshirt-freshman guard Kam Williams, freshman guard D’Angelo Russell, freshman forwards Keita Bates-Diop and Jae’Sean Tate and himself all contributing points, Scott said the Buckeyes already have a good idea of how they each fit into the team dynamic.

“Just the simple fact that everybody came in and contributed in some aspect of the game is just a great feeling,” Scott said Tuesday.

“And I think everybody has a better understanding of what their role is.”

The wide range of contribution has helped Scott excel as a distributor, as he picked up 11 assists in the opener against the University of Massachusetts-Lowell last Friday before his 14 helpers against Marquette.

Those 14 assists are tied for the second most in a single game in school history, but Scott attributed the big numbers to his teammates and not his own play.

“I just have so many weapons around me, it makes the game a lot easier,” he said. “Kam came into the game, played great. Amir played well.

“Sam, Marc, D’Angelo, Jae’Sean, Kam, Keita, Trey, Anthony, everybody played well. So having so many weapons around me, it makes the game a lot easier for me.”

campus Race-based mascots take the spotlight in OSU event Amanda Etchison Senior Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu For many fans, sporting a Chief Wahoo baseball cap at Cleveland’s Progressive Field or singing along to the “Tomahawk Chop” during an Atlanta Braves’ game is simply a tradition within the world of sports.

But for members of Native American communities throughout the country, as well as for individuals who advocate for increased recognition of Native American rights, these depictions of Native American culture are often considered offensive and distasteful.

“Often, when I (talk about race-based sports traditions) in several of the classes that I teach, I hear students say, ‘Why are you so sensitive?’ ‘Do you hate baseball?’ ‘Do you hate sports?’” said Christine BallengeeMorris, a professor in the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy and coordinator of the American Indian Studies program. “(I want them to understand that) I don’t hate sports … I love sports. (But) for me, it is not just the sports mascot. It also leaks into other areas that we should be paying attention to and question.”

Ballengee-Morris said she hopes to encourage students to analyze the historical motives and ramifications behind sports traditions, logos and team names. She plans to address these issues in her role as a facilitator in OSU’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s dialogue and discussion event “Why Are We Still Debating Race-Based Sports Mascots?” scheduled for Thursday.

The discussion event is set to begin with a facilitated discussion between panelists, and audience members will have a chance to ask questions and discuss the issue further at the end of the session.

“It really reinforces the popularization of racial and ethnic stereotypes,” BallengeeMorris said of the use of Native American imagery by professional, collegiate and high school sports teams.

According to MascotDB.com, a database that has information on nearly 50,000 professional, college and high school team mascots in the United States, more than 2,000 teams have some sort of reference to Native American culture in its team name, logo or mascot.

In recent years, several teams throughout the nation have been under pressure to change mascots deemed racially derogatory or offensive.

On Nov. 2, a crowd of approximately 4,000 protestors stood outside of the University of

Robert Leonard of Mississippi and Mary Red Hawk Woman of Austin, Texas, protest against the Washington Redskins’ mascot on Oct. 27 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium with signs reading “RACIST,” “Change the Name Now” and “Stop Racism in the NFL,” according to The Washington Post. The group was protesting the game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins, as they deemed the Redskins’ logo offensive. The logo shows the bust of a dark-skinned Native American man with feathers in his braided hair.

In an interview with ESPN.com in August, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder said he doesn’t have to change the team’s name.

“A Redskin is a football player. A Redskin is our fans. The Washington Redskins fan base represents honor, represents respect, represents pride,” he said.

In Ohio, the Cleveland Indians have also been asked to change their team name and mascot, which depicts a red-faced smiling Native American man with a feather sticking out from behind his ear.

In August, Ohio Sen. Eric Kearney introduced a resolution that would encourage the baseball team to acknowledge racial insensitivity and change the name and mascot, named Chief Wahoo, according to the Associated Press.

Although Cleveland continues to use the image of Chief Wahoo, the chief is one of three logos the team displays on merchandise

and in marketing materials. Over the past season, Cleveland started to use the “block C” logo. This decision, however, was “not reacting to anything in the news,” Curtis Danberg, the Indians’ senior director of communications, said in an interview with New Republic magazine in October 2013.

“There’s no conspiracy theory here,” he said. “(The gradual move toward the block C logo is about) celebrating Cleveland.”

John Low, an assistant professor of comparative studies at OSU’s Newark campus and an affiliated faculty member within the American Indian Studies program, said that although OSU’s mascot is not racially contentious, many Ohio high schools have mascots or team names derived from Native American culture.

Low, who is also set to participate as a facilitator in the ODI discussion event, said based on statistics he calculated last year, approximately 228 Ohio high schools have a mascot or team name taken from some aspect of Native American culture.

“Ohio was No. 1 overall with Indianthemed mascot usage,” he said.

The use of race-based sports mascots — at any skill level — is viewed as offensive by This story continues online at Low, who identifies as Potawatomi Indian.

“Sportswww.thelantern.com mascots have been on my radar most of my life,” he said. “People do still assume that Indians look like mascots, and

Scott from 1A After the Buckeyes’ hot hand from 3-point land carried them to a seven-point halftime lead against the Golden Eagles, they moved inside and scored 32 points in the paint in the second half. Coach Thad Matta credited Scott’s ability to push the team for the second-half switch on offense.

“I think Shannon was able to open things up a little bit and obviously Sam running in transition,” Matta said after the game. “I think our bigs are really doing a good job of getting down the floor as well which opens things up.”

Scott said the team’s mindset has changed from a year ago, allowing for the more freeflowing offense OSU has run so far this season.

“I think everybody just has the mindset this year that we’re not gonna take any plays off on the offensive end,” he said. “We played so hard on defense the last couple years that we kind of forgot about offense.”

Perhaps contributing to his recent success passing the ball, Scott added that the Buckeyes have more of a plan on offense than they did last year as well.

“This year we know when we get the ball we’re gonna attack every time,” Scott said. “You can ask Kam and Amir the same thing, we’re all attacking every time we touch the ball, and that makes it a lot easier for all of us.”

Apart from the new-look offense, Amir Williams said the Buckeyes have benefited from a change to their defensive philosophy as well after switching to a zone look.

“We have so much length and quickness on defense,” he said after the Marquette game. “It allows us to attack our opponents better than last year. We have guys doing a great job of covering the gaps, and we’re definitely still working out the kinks, but so far it’s been working very well for us.”

As the team transitions its mindset on both sides of the ball, Scott has helped lead a highflying young roster to a fresh start to begin a potential-laden season. But with the rest of the year an unknown, one thing is for sure. If Lee had flown just a little higher on one dunk attempt, Scott would have made his mark in the records books, and not just on recent box scores.

Amir Williams and Kam Williams combined to let out a long “oooh” when they found out Scott was just a Lee-missed-dunk away from tying former Buckeye Aaron Craft’s program record of 15 assists, but the fourth-year veteran took it in stride, and instead looked ahead to another chance.

“It’s OK, we’ll just try to get it again, another game or something,” Scott said.

OSU is scheduled to return to the court on Sunday against Sacred Heart at the Schottenstein Center. Tip is set for 7 p.m.

Culture from 1A be because of the fact that participation in the survey varied between the four levels of employees surveyed: tenured/tenure track faculty, regular clinical faculty, associated faculty and staff.

“This is the only time we ever combine all types of faculty and staff into a single number,” CarpenterHubin said in an email. “Our tenured/ tenure-track and clinical faculty actually show gains in satisfaction, whereas associated faculty (e.g. lecturers, etc.) and staff satisfaction has declined. The overall number shows a decrease primarily because we have more staff than faculty.”

According to a statistical summary published on OSU’s website earlier this year, as of Autumn 2013, more than 6,600 faculty members — including tenure track faculty, clinical faculty, research faculty and associated faculty — were employed by the university.

In contrast, more than 23,000 staff members — including both administrative and professional staff and civil service staff — work at OSU, according to the same statistical summary.

Survey methodology The 2014 surveys, which were open to OSU faculty and staff members from late February to early March, marked the third reiteration of these triennial questionnaires, which focus specifically on issues of workplace culture at the university.

“In 2007, a campus-wide initiative was initiated to assess and improve the workplace culture at Ohio State,” Carpenter-Hubin said.

“In 2008, we asked faculty and staff about a wide range of questions related to workplace engagement, satisfaction, retention or other important indicators of a healthy culture … Each time the survey has been administered, we also added questions particularly relevant at the time of the survey, such as work-life balance and personal wellness.”

The surveys were available to faculty and staff members both online and in hardcopy format. They consisted of multiple choice questions and, in the case of the faculty survey, a chance to input numbers in response to questions asking employees about the amount of time per week they spend on specific tasks.

Faculty survey According to the 2014 survey report, faculty surveys included questions related to the perception of OSU, faculty resources, staff

Waters from 1A And even though a second investigative report into the band’s culture released Tuesday found that a lack of university oversight helped create that culture, Waters said he’s not really sure if those findings will help clear his name.

He did say, however, that he’s happy the report complimented the marching band members’ hard work and that it gave a list of 37 recommendations for reforming the band’s culture.

“I think they (the recommendations) are all well intentioned and well thought out and I endorse them,” he said.

A press release from Water’s lawyer issued Wednesday evening in response to the findings said the original investigation failed to acknowledge the fact that many of the band and School of Music staffs were aware of problems identified by the recent findings.

“Jonathan Waters is the only person whom OSU made responsible for the allegedly widespread issues identified by the task force,” the release said.

That second investigation was led by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery and found the band has been isolated from routine university supervision for more than 50 years — part of the reason for limited oversight.

Tensions between the School of Music and the marching band widened that gap, the investigation’s final report said. Personality conflicts, differences in the quality of facilities, concerns over funding and disparities between the School of Music, in particular, were mentioned.

Montgomery’s task force was commissioned to conduct an assessment of the band’s culture, review university processes and oversight and provide counsel on Title IX compliance issues. Title IX states schools that receive federal funding can’t discriminate against people based on gender.

Even though the investigation found the band contains a “culture of excellence, hard work and esprit de corps,” the final report made recommendations to help correct some of the issues, including seeking to eliminate certain band traditions and create more effective oversight.

Moving forward, OSU plans to review the task force’s recommendations and take action, university spokesman Chris Davey said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

“Today’s report confirms that changes needed to be made within the band and its culture. We take the report’s conclusions very seriously,” he said.

Montgomery’s findings took about twice the time expected, based on the early October deadline given to her by OSU President Michael Drake.

She said part of the reason for the delay was because of the extensive interviews she and her team conducted for the investigation.

support, collegiality, unit administration, and degree to which their unit is a good fit for them.

Data from the report showed growth in regard to tenured/tenuretrack faculty in the areas of staff support, faculty resources and perception of OSU. Responses to questions relating to collegiality and “degree to which their unit is a good fit,” have remained mostly stagnant compared to responses from 2011.

Clinical and associated faculty responses declined in comparison to 2011 responses in the areas of collegiality and faculty resources.

One specific area of dissatisfaction observed in the survey data appeared in regards to “satisfaction with cost of parking,” a question listed under the faculty resources category.

According to the survey data, the percentage of tenured/tenuretrack faculty members who considered themselves satisfied with the cost of parking in 2008 was 28.6 percent. In 2011, this percentage decreased to 23.8 percent and has dipped even further to 15.7 percent in the 2014 results.

A similar trend was observed in the clinical and associated faculty members, with satisfaction percentages for clinical faculty falling to 13.5 percent in 2014 from an initial 20.9 percent in 2008.

Associated faculty showed a 16.9 percentage point drop in satisfaction from 2008 to 2014.

Jaschik said employees’ concerns about parking is something he would expect when collecting data from a university the size of OSU. “Parking is an issue everywhere. That is not surprising,” he said. “Parking is a big issue at lots of places, and I think it may be a particularly big issue at big universities.”

Two years ago, OSU leased its parking operations to Australian private investment firm QIC Global Infrastructure in a 50-year, $483 million deal. CampusParc, the company that runs the day-to-day parking services, was created as part of the contract.

Staff survey Staff surveys included questions that inquired about work environment, senior leadership, opportunity for professional growth, unit administration and accountability.

In general, the staff scores showed improvement in all categories measured except senior leadership.

Marilyn Frueh, an organization and leadership effectiveness consultant, said despite decline in satisfaction in some areas, positive trends in participation and feedback were also observed in this year’s survey.

“Participation in the 2014 survey was higher than previous years, which speaks to the high level of engagement we see from our organization,” Frueh said in an email. “There has been significant positive change in the area of feedback and coaching … Another area of improvement is represented in the positive feedback from faculty on staff support received.”

Carpenter-Hubin said the survey data can be used to address areas in need of improvement, and that many of these changes will most likely be implemented by individual colleges and units.

“OSU has shown continuous improvement over the last six years, and this survey has been an incredibly useful tool for identifying the topics and areas where we continue to have opportunities to improve the quality of the workplace culture at OSU,” she said.

“Leaders across the university are encouraged to assess the data specific to their unit or college, and develop targeted plans to address areas they identify as opportunities for improvement.”

The task force interviewed 185 individuals — including current and former band members, staff and other “interested parties,” according to a Tuesday press release from the public relations firm representing Montgomery’s team.

The task force hired three outside firms to help in the investigation. At least two of those firms were paid a combined $885 an hour, and while the contract with one of those firms limited the total compensation to $49,000, the other agreement did not specify a limit.

Meanwhile, Waters — who is suing the university and some of its leaders — submitted new court filings this week saying OSU breached an implied contract by firing him, even though he was an at-will employee.

Waters’ move came about a month after OSU asked the court to dismiss his case because of his at-will status. It also said he knew of a problematic, sexually charged culture in the marching band and didn’t address the problems.

Waters is suing for a minimum of $1 million in compensatory damages, in addition to seeking punitive damages, attorney fees and reinstatement. His lawsuit says the university discriminated against him on the basis of gender and that OSU did not provide him with due process after the initial investigation into the band’s culture.

The university has said it plans on naming a new director by February. University Bands director Russel Mikkelson and associate director Scott Jones are serving as the interim directors until that permanent director is selected.

Still, Waters has received wide support from current band members and band alumni. Some have contributed to a legal fund for Waters via an online fundraising website, while others have taken to social media saying they “stand with Jon.” The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced after a compliance review of the university was concluded Sept. 11 that it will enter into an agreement with OSU to ensure proper Title IX obedience, according to a release.

In the release, the OCR agreed with the university that a “sexually hostile environment” within the band violated Title IX and praised the university for its handling of the situation.

OSU was one of 55 U.S. colleges and universities being investigated by the department for its handling of sexual abuse complaints under Title IX. The review began in 2010 and was not complaintbased, the release said.

Whether he’s reinstated or not, Waters said his next move will be one with his family at the center, regardless of whether he wins or loses the lawsuit.

“I’m just to the point where, unfortunately, Ohio State has time and money on their side and I’m just an individual person so I’ve got to support my family and I will do anything to do that,” he said.

Crime from 1A asked the student why he looked to the right. The student said that he had just been scared. He also said he wasn’t on any other drugs or prescription medicines.

opinion Visa policy changes help int’l students

No inappropriate dancing or drinking at marching band dance Letter to the editor:

QING DAI / Lantern reporter

Qing Dai’s visa

QING DAI Senior Lantern reporter dai.133@osu.edu When I woke up on Nov. 10, I opened my WeChat app. One of the first things I noticed was the new American visa policy for China. As an international student and also a Chinese woman, I know how important it is to me, both extending travel visas’ length from a month to 10 years with multiple entry, and student visas from lasting one year to lasting five.

This summer, I helped my parents apply for a travel visa to come to the United States for my graduation ceremony.

It was easy, because I had already done it what felt like thousands of times for my F-1 student visa.

For the one-year student F-1 visas, I have to renew it every year when I go back to China for summer vacation. The process is like when I first applied for an F-1 student visa, except that I do not have to meet a visa officer. Otherwise, it all looks the same. I go to a website where I can apply for a U.S. visa. Then, I fill out a form with my personal information, even if it didn’t change since I first came to study in the U.S. While it’s not really convenient, who can finish a U.S. visa application in 10 minutes? I do, and you know, practice makes perfect.

For my parents, I filled out two U.S. visa applications, and then they went to meet a visa officer in Shanghai, because it was a travel visa they applied for.

If a Chinese citizen applies for a travel visa, they have to meet the visa officers every time they apply for it.

Since President Barack Obama issued an

6A

executive order in January 2012, travel visas are not difficult to get and my parents successfully got the pass to attend my graduation ceremony.

On that day, my mom said to me, “I wish I could visit more times when you are studying there, because I really miss you.”

I was moved in that moment, because I know how hard it is for them to visit me.

First of all, they do not speak English. If they want to apply for a U.S. visa, they have to go through the application process that requires English. Therefore, I am the only one who can help them do the application. But people might say, “If they want to visit you, you can just help them, because you already can do it in 10 minutes.” For me, I am very willing to do it, but for my parents, especially Chinese parents, they are not willing to ask their children do things for them. Asking me to apply a U.S. visa every time when they want to visit me is not a good thing. They feel bad, because they are afraid of it might take up too much of my time.

International students study in the U.S. because they believe they can get a better education here.

They make the decision, but it does not mean they do not miss their family in the other country.

In some ways, I believe they miss their family members a lot. As strangers in a strange land, it is important to get a visit from family members sometimes, because they make you feel like you are back home.

Therefore, I do not care if some people say that it might increase the number of immigrants from China. All I know is now it’ll be easier for my parents to visit me, which is a one-time application for a U.S. visa that allows them to visit me anytime, as often as they want, for 10 years.

There will be no worries to take up my time and I can see my parents more than once a year.

I would like to voice my opinion about the so-called “sexualized culture” and “excessive use of alcohol” of the Ohio State Marching Band. As a former member of the Athletic Band, I’ve had a previous insight into the band culture. When the report initially came out, I was appalled at the accusations made toward this phenomenal group of people.

This past weekend, I was honored to attend the annual Band Dance. As a junior in college, I have attended many club social events and what I observed at this band event somewhat surprised me. Alcohol was not served, which has not been the case at any other social events I have attended for other clubs. Aside from that, the dancing also surprised me. Everyone had a sense of professionalism about them. There was no “grinding” or suggestive dancing to be seen. It makes me wonder, how can inappropriate dancing be accepted in a high school environment while it is obviously frowned upon by the members of this outstanding group?

There was no contract or list of rules that was made to be followed, just a consensual, unspoken agreement on how to act.

To me, this proves that the “sexualized culture” reference was

far too absurd. The members of this band provide the foundation of pride and tradition to this entire university. Without them, we would not be able to celebrate a Buckeye win with the singing of “Carmen Ohio.” Without them, nothing would keep the momentum up during games to encourage our team to fight harder. Coach Urban Meyer comments at many pre-game Skull Sessions on how much he and the football team appreciate the efforts of the band. He emphasizes its importance weekly. If the band is that important to them, it should be that important to everyone else in this university.

I also had the pleasure of performing under the direction of former Marching Band director Jon Waters. I can personally advocate that he in fact was making steps to change the culture of the band.

All I ask is that my opinion be heard and that everyone will take a minute to read and understand the facts about this wonderful group of people without judging them based on an incredibly biased investigation report filed by the university.

We should all be working together to keep the pride and tradition alive, and to do so, the band and Dr. Waters requires our support.

Barrett brings high(sman) hopes JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu With just two games left in the regular season, Ohio State has reached one of its goals: competing for championships in November.

With a win over Indiana, the Buckeyes will have clinched a spot in their second straight Big Ten Championship Game. But there is another award opportunity that not everyone saw coming.

According to Bovada.com, an online gambling site, OSU redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett has 15/1 odds of winning the 2014 Heisman Trophy as of Wednesday evening. Those odds currently put Barrett as the third-highest favorite behind Oregon redshirt-junior quarterback Marcus Mariota (2/5) and Wisconsin redshirt-junior running back Melvin Gordon (9/4).

In comparison, Barrett is third in the nation in overall quarterback passer rating, sporting an 87.9 rating, as Mariota holds the top spot with a 90.9 QBR. Barrett has accounted for 38 total touchdowns and 3,127 total yards in 10 games this season. The Buckeyes’ last Heisman Trophy winner, quarterback Troy Smith, accounted for 2,746 total yards and 31 total touchdowns during 2006-07 season.

OSU sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott said Wednesday that his teammate deserves to be in the Heisman discussion.

“He is a great leader. First of all, I think he is playing as good as any player in the nation,” Elliott said. “I think he should definitely be in the talks. I think he is right up there.”

Senior tight end Jeff Heuerman echoed Elliott’s comments adding that he, along with others close to Barrett, is not surprised by the young quarterback’s success.

“I told you guys. I know what kind of guy he is, and what kind of player he is and competitor and a leader,” Heuerman said Wednesday. “I don’t think there are a lot of people (who know him) that are really surprised. He has done a great job. He has worked for that every step of the way. Hats off to him.”

With the Buckeyes sitting at 9-1, 6-0, OSU coach Urban Meyer said he has previously spoken to his team about handling success.

He added that no such conversation is needed when dealing with Barrett.

“No. This kid is so grounded. That is once again a credit to his family,” Meyer said Wednesday. “If I saw it (problems with handling pressure), certainly I would jump in the middle of that but I haven’t given it two thoughts.”

Barrett said Wednesday that the added attention and Heisman talk has been surreal for him.

Soccer to host NCAA tourney clash Amy Scullion chooses return route

RYAN COOPER Lantern reporter cooper.487@osu.edu

Appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010, the Ohio State men’s soccer team knows that one slip up could mark the end of the road.

However, the team has embraced that mindset, junior midfielder Zach Mason said.

“It feels a little bit different, because you know these games are the most important, this is what you play the whole regular season for, train in the preseason for,” the co-captain said.

“They’re huge. So, you get up a little bit more for these.”

OSU (9-7-4) is set for a rematch with Akron for its first-round matchup. Akron defeated OSU back on Sept. 24, 3-1.

OSU coach John Bluem said despite the result from the first meeting, the Zips will be seeing a different OSU team Thursday.

“I think we’re playing better as a team now than we were at that point in time,” Bluem said. “I think we’re defending better than we did at that point in time, so those are things that should help us help us a little bit in this game.”

Senior midfielder Yianni Sarris said he agreed with his coach’s thoughts.

“We dropped the first one, which was unfortunate on our part, but we grew as a team, and we’re definitely a stronger and better team now,” Sarris said.

Sarris said every player has developed and gotten better “in their own way” as the season progressed.

Bluem said that Akron (13-6-1) does possess one advantage that the Buckeyes cannot account for: experience. “(Experience is) certainly something that works to their favor,” Bluem said. “They have a lot of guys that have NCAA Tournament experience, and we have nobody.”

The Zips are appearing in the tournament for the 10th consecutive season. That includes a 2010 season that saw Akron hoist the national championship trophy for the first time in school history after defeating Louisville in the title game.

On the other side, only one player on OSU’s roster has ever appeared in an NCAA Tournament game: senior midfielder Yianni Sarris, in his lone season at Florida Gulf Coast as a freshman.

However, Sarris said his experience from three years ago is incomparable to how he feels about OSU going dancing this season, because of the connection he feels with his current teammates.

“It’s very nice to be back,” Sarris said. “I really wanted to do it with this squad. I mean, this squad is my family, this is my brotherhood.”

The Zips — the Mid-American Conference champions — boast a strong attack that is led by sophomore midfielder Adam Najem, who is tied for fourth in the nation with 13 goals this season.

One of those came in Akron’s regular season victory in Columbus, a header in the 76th minute that found the back of the net for the third and final Zips goal that evening.

Bluem said OSU is in good shape for the rematch, simply because Akron has already defeated the Buckeyes this year.

“I would say the biggest advantage is that they beat us the first time,” the 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year said. “It’s difficult to beat a team twice in one season. Our guys are going to be excited to play the game, not only because it’s an NCAA Tournament game, but because it’s a chance to get back at a team that beat you.”

When the final buzzer sounded for the Ohio State women’s basketball team last season, then-redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion thought she had played her last game as a Buckeye.

Despite having a year of eligibility left, Scullion made the choice to leave the team at the end of the season in order to focus on attending medical school at OSU. Everyone, including coach Kevin McGuff, thought they had seen the last of her.

“When she stopped playing last year, we all thought that she was done,” McGuff said.

“She had an extra year of eligibility obviously, but she was moving on to (medical) school which is an amazing deal.”

‘This is the fun part’: Men’s hockey set for B1G play MATTHEW MCGREEVY Lantern reporter mcgreevy.21@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s hockey locker room is a light-hearted, excited and confident place, according to those inside it, but the Buckeyes are 3-6-1 ahead of their first conference game of the season on Thursday. Contradictions are tricky.

“Everyone in our room feels like we have something more,” OSU junior defenseman Sam Jardine said. “It helps that you can have a reset button … but at the same time I don’t think it was absolutely necessary.”

Thursday November 20, 2014

The Buckeyes’ home series against Michigan State (3-6-0) will mark their first Big Ten matchup of the season and another opportunity to redirect their losing momentum.

OSU has dropped three of its last four games, including its most recent contest: a one-goal loss to Bowling Green on Saturday.

“As disappointed as we were losing that game Saturday, I think the guys were ready to say, ‘Listen, we have Michigan State coming to town,’” Buckeye coach Steve Rohlik said.

The conference matchup still doesn’t bring a clean slate, as the team has already played 10 games and is not playing how it wants to be, Rohlik said.

In recent games, it’s been “shift-after”

goals that have stung OSU. The Buckeyes have allowed four goals within two minutes of scoring in their past two series.

The power play has also been a focal point as OSU has gone one-for-25 on the man advantage in its past six games.

“We’ve worked on it again this week,” Rohlik said. “(We) have to follow through the blueprint and stick to the game plan.”

The Buckeyes’ five-on-five game plan will include keeping track of the Spartans’ senior forward Matt Berry, Rohlik said. Berry, along with junior forward Michael Ferrantino, has five goals and three assists through nine games.

Michigan State has played a tough non-conference schedule in advance of

its first Big Ten game of the season. The Spartans have faced four ranked opponents.

The Buckeyes went 2-0-3 against the Spartans last season, earning a pair of shootout victories.

“This is the fun part,” senior forward Chad Niddery said. “When you see Big Ten teams coming in here and we’re finally starting our conference, that puts a little lead in your pencil.”

Minnesota, Penn State and Michigan are atop the Big Ten standings through non-conference play. Wisconsin has gone

sports Barrett from 7A really never on my mind … but I am grateful that I am on that list,” Barrett said. “But the objective every week is to go out there and win games.”

Barrett has broken multiple school records this season, including most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback (189) and longest rush by a quarterback (86).

Both records were previously held by senior quarterback Braxton Miller, whom Barrett replaced following Miller’s season-ending torn labrum injury.

Barrett is also just two touchdown passes away from breaking Smith’s record of passing scores in a season.

Meyer said Monday that Barrett has acknowledged there are things he could be doing better despite breaking multiple records.

“J.T. is a Heisman candidate that knows that he could have played much better Saturday, and that’s the best thing about coaching these guys right now,” Meyer said about Barrett and the Buckeyes. “I hope it doesn’t change. That’s something we’re watching very closely with guys that are starting to get some notoriety.”

Barrett said he has the same goals as his head coach and is doing his best to remain levelheaded.

“I hope it doesn’t change me, I hope I stay the same. I will try hard to be the same: working hard, being here on a Wednesday night until

probably 9 o’clock,” he said. “I am going to do my best to make sure it doesn’t. I have people here to keep me grounded so it is really unlikely for that to happen.”

Despite the Heisman attention, Barrett said the attention remains on the Buckeyes’ next opponent.

“Being 1-0 at the end of the week, making sure that is the main focus,” Barrett said. “Not thinking about the Big Ten Championship Game, not thinking about that team up north, but just beat Indiana. That is the objective this week.”

The Buckeyes and Hoosiers are scheduled to square off Saturday at noon from Ohio Stadium.

The Buckeyes are aware of the Big Ten non-conference standings, but don’t pay too much attention to the results, Niddery said.

Niddery has focused the majority of his attention on getting pucks toward the net, something he said his entire team needs to do with greater frequency.

“The biggest thing we have to do is start shooting,” Niddery said. “We’re trying to be a little bit too pretty.”

Jardine offered a different reason for the team’s recent futility.

“It’s a mental thing,” Jardine said. “I think we just need a sharper focus and more consistent play.”

of an ACL injury. Toward the end of October, freshman forward Chelsea Mitchell suffered a torn ACL and less than a week later, redshirtfreshman guard Kianna Holland suffered a season-ending ACL injury of her own.

With only seven available healthy players and limited options, McGuff and the coaching staff reached out to Scullion for help.

“We were talking the week before the 31st and the following week is when I think we finally made a decision to go,” Scullion said.

She said the decision to return to the team wasn’t an easy one. “(Medical) school was definitely very intense so it was a tough decision actually,” Scullion said. “I know this is a great opportunity, but it was something I had to wrap my mind around and know I could be successful at both.”

Even though she had only been away from the team less than a year, the transition from being a medical school student to a college basketball player again was harder than she expected.

“The first practice I came back, I remember I put on all my gear and I just felt like I was playing dress-up,” Scullion said. “In my mind, that chapter of my life was over and to be back was crazy.”

Scullion averaged 3.1 points and 3.9 rebounds last season for the Buckeyes, and McGuff said he expects her to provide a spark for OSU. “She’s a really good defender, she’s a good rebounder, she’s a physical player,” McGuff said. “She’s a very, very bright player, I think she’ll just help us in giving us somebody that can allow us to rest some people a little bit more.”

Scullion’s teammates also said they think she’ll provide a lot for the young team.

“I think that she’ll bring a lot more energy to the team,” freshman forward Alexa Hart said.

“I really think she’ll bring open shots more for everyone else, even creating shots for her own self.”

While Hart did not play with Scullion last season, junior guard Ameryst Alston said

Soccer from 7A in advance of the game is the weather forecast for Thursday evening.

According to the Weather Channel, the forecast for the start of the game at 5 p.m. is about 25 degrees, with winds blowing between 10 and 15 mph.

Mason said tackling the cold weather head-on is something that the team will need to carefully plan out.

“In these conditions, it’s a mental game,” Mason said. “You have to understand that it’s going to be cold, and just get over it, really.”

having Scullion back will be beneficial for the entire team.

“Amy is going to be a lot of help,” Alston said. “She works really hard and it’s just a blessing and we’re really happy to have her. I think she’s the most unselfish person ever to come back and help us.”

Alston added that some of the players had asked Scullion about a potential comeback prior to her return.

“We had seen her a couple days before just on campus,” Alston said. “We were asking her, just kind of joking around, ‘Oh you want to come back?’ and what do you know, she is back.”

Scullion will have to wait until Sunday before she can officially take the court for OSU. The NCAA suspended Scullion for three games for an incident involving autograph signing that took place after she left the team.

“The NCAA just didn’t like what I did after I graduated,” Scullion said. “It’s disappointing and I wish I could’ve played those three games but I’m glad I’m back, I’m glad they’re giving me this opportunity so I can’t complain much.”

When she does get playing time, Scullion said she’s ready to slip into a new and more comfortable role.

“I’m excited about my role this year because I think I can just go in, play hard, and that’s what I like to do anyways,” Scullion said. “There’s no pressure on me to have to score, I just go in, hopefully get some rebounds, and everyone’s happy.”

With the demands that come from playing college basketball and being a student in medical school, Scullion plans on staying focused on her goals while making sacrifices along the way.

“Right now for me the No. 1 priority is (medical) school, that has to come first,” Scullion said. “I just have to be super disciplined, make sure I’m staying up with my schoolwork, maybe not watch as much reality TV as I’d like.”

Scullion will be eligible to play against Virginia Commonwealth on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

OSU and Akron met in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008, with Akron winning, 1-0, in double overtime.

That was the only postseason matchup between the schools, though they have met 38 times overall, with Akron dominating the all-time series, 28-6-3.

The winner of the game will advance to South Bend, Ind., to take on the defending champions and No. 1 seed in the tournament, Notre Dame, on Sunday.

OSU’s first-round matchup against Akron is scheduled to kick off at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at 5 p.m.

by LEGO SCULPTURES IMAGINE COLUMBUS IN A NEW AGE DENISE BLOUGH Lantern reporter blough.24@osu.edu Columbus wasn’t built in a day. In fact, it took one group of avid builders nine years to assemble.

An exhibit featuring sculptures made entirely from Legos — “Think Outside the Brick” — is making its third annual appearance at the Columbus Museum of Art’s Center for Creativity starting Friday.

The exhibition will explore the city of Columbus through Legos that come in many colors, sizes and shapes.

The main installation is built by the Central Ohio Lego Train Club — a group of Ohio-dwelling adults who see the colorful bricks not as a children’s toy, but as an artistic and structural medium.

The COLTC’s collaborative model, “Columbus: Real and Imagined,” has consistently been the show’s main feature since its first appearance in 2012 — nine years after the COLTC first started working on it. The piece routinely undergoes design changes and has some fresh, original elements this year, said Jeff Sims, creative producer for the Columbus Museum of Art’s Center for Creativity.

“They’ve come up with a pretty interesting idea this year, where there’s going to be a range of time periods represented,” Sims said. “Visitors will see familiar landmarks, like the Huntington building or the Statehouse, but there are also things that COLTC members have imagined or things they would like to see in Columbus.”

The redesigned model is made up of around 450,000 Lego bricks and spans a 10-by-30-foot floor space. COLTC currently has about 30 members, roughly a third of whom were involved in building this year’s design, said Paul Janssen, one of its builders and president of the COLTC, which was founded by Janssen and several others in 2003.

Janssen, who is also an associate professor of physiology and cell biology at Ohio State’s College of Medicine, said that the constraints a Lego builder is bound to can be a challenge when attempting to make something intricate, such as the COLTC’s configuration of Columbus.

“Lego art is limited by the number of

Members of the Central Ohio Lego Train Club built a replica of the Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus with Legos. bricks you can get, the color of bricks and the brick sizes,” he said. “The medium doesn’t allow you to make the minute changes that drawing, painting or sculpting does.”

First-year OSU students Nick Armstrong and Christian Moore — both in landscape architecture — agree with Janssen’s sentiment on the art form after making “A Double-Decker Cityscape,” which was chosen to be displayed in the exhibit as part of the CMA’s Lego Design Challenge . Armstrong said it took them about 10 hours total to finish.

“You’re a lot more limited in resources,” Armstrong said about building with Legos. “So you have to think a little more outside-the-box when designing shapes, buildings and other things that wouldn’t naturally be made of rectangular bricks.”

The contest asked applicants — who could work individually or in a team, group or family — to explore what “building, structure or mode of transportation a new Columbus needs,” and to draw inspiration from “The Lego Movie,” said Kelsey Cyr, visitor engagement coordinator at the CMA .

The 17 finalists were selected out of 75 applicants by a panel of four local creative professionals — one of whom was Janssen — and each model will be laid out alongside one another to create one big cityscape, Cyr said.

“The idea of our project was to combine Columbus with more plants and natural elements, so we have things like a canyon and a waterfall that runs in between buildings and over shops,” Armstrong said. “It would give people the chance to experience nature more often, and still have the same type of thing that you would want to do in the city.”

Three additional OSU architecture students are also finalists in the design challenge for their model “Columbus Buckeye Museum,” Cyr said.

Janssen said the COLTC’s current configuration has three parts: one depicting Columbus with various close replicas of structures such as The Columbus Dispatch headquarters and the old railway station, a second portraying a rural area that’s not necessarily supposed to be Columbus and lastly, a medieval town with fantasy buildings.

The model will also have about 20 miniature car2gos to “keep up with the times,” he said.

Janssen is also known for the 8-by-6-foot Ohio Stadium replica he made from one million Lego pieces, which he completed in 2011.

“I don’t like to do dull or simple things; I try to do more complicated structures,” he said. “Building the stadium was the most challenging, and, therefore, fun, piece I’ve completed.”

Miranda July’s theatrical experiment, “New Society,” is set to be performed Thursday in the Capitol Theatre at the Riffe Center, presented by the Wexner Center for the Arts.

July’s work was selected by the Wexner Center for the Arts as part of its 25th anniversary season celebration, said Erik Pepple, spokesman for the center.

July has received many awards and major recognition for her art, filmography and writing, according to her website. Her film “Me and You and Everyone We Know” — a story of a shoe salesman and performance artist going through life in the modern age — received a jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and one prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Drake started his music career after starring on popular Canadian TV show “Degrassi: The Next Generation.”

Chance the Rapper recorded his first mixtape during a 10-day suspension while he was in high school.

Ohio State 2014 alumnus, Cal Scruby, recorded his first project, “Best Foot Forward,” in the Whisper Room on the third floor of the Science and Engineering Library — now called the 18th Avenue Library — while he was a student studying new media and information technology.

“It’s like a phone booth sized recording area where the walls are all insulated professionally,” Scruby said. “I just recorded and mixed my own stuff. That whole process probably took (about) two weeks.”

The 25-year-old from Lebanon, Ohio, said he first delved into hip-hop at the age of 9 when he made a mix out of an old burned CD. This then spun into a hobby, and with some encouragement from friends, Scruby took the rap scene more seriously. Though he had hopes of a rap career, Scruby’s dream of breaking into the music industry didn’t solidify until his contract with Riveting Management.

“I never wanted to be a rapper growing up — I never really pictured myself (rapping professionally) honestly until this year.

Even when I was putting out stuff, I was hoping things would start to pop, but until I started working with Riveting, it never seemed so tangible,” he said.

When Scruby moved to Los Angeles this past September, he signed with Riveting Management as its first and only client. Riveting Management is a division of the production company Riveting Entertainment. The company represents 12 directors, including Wilmer Valderrama and Chris Brown, and produces music videos for the likes of Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Mary J. Blige, said its founder and CEO, Andrew Listermann.

Listermann and Scruby met in Cincinnati after one of Scruby’s shows. The charisma and confidence of the unsigned rapper led Listermann to investigate further into Scruby’s work later that night after Scruby’s concert.

“For some reason, something about his charisma grabbed my attention. Cal had a confidence that just stuck out for a Cincinnati white rapper,” Listermann said. “When I got home that night in my

I thought there was a lot of potential there.”

Scruby continued to make waves in the underground music scene with his sophomore mixtape “Boy Genius,” which he recorded with Columbus producer Alexander Dreamer. The duo created the nine-track tape in five days and released it in September 2012.

Dreamer, a student studying audio production at the Columbus music industry program Groove U, said working with Scruby was not only inspirational, but also a great learning experience.

Pepple said the relationship with July and the Wexner Center for the Arts is a remarkable one that traces back over 14 years.

She was once a video artist who screened work at Wexner’s Media Arts Studio.

“It’s very exciting to bring Miranda back to Columbus for this one-night only performance, which is just one of a handful of performances of this production she’ll be doing across the country,” Pepple said. “It’s always a pleasure to bring audiences such thoughtful and thought-provoking theater.”

According to a review by The Boston Globe, July’s work “New Society” is “an innovative theatrical experiment that illustrates the myriad ways societies form, cohere, change, fracture and maybe persevere over time. Or you could describe it as a whimsical excursion into make-believe. You’d be on solid ground either way.”

Jennifer Wray, marketing and media assistant for the Wexner Center for the Arts, said she is excited to see July’s work — which involves a lot of audience participation — come to life.

“There are only a handful of places that will have the opportunity to present this work, and we are delighted to be among them,” Wray said. “People who attend this performance will be in for an experience like none other.”

Pepple agreed.

“Folks not familiar with her work can be assured that they’ll be in for a one-of-a-kind experience that is thoughtful, witty and likely unlike anything they’ve seen onstage,” Pepple said.

Wray said July’s spirit and passion in her work is something that has always resonated with her.

“She’s an artist who has achieved a lot at a relatively young age across a variety of disciplines while still seeming to be down-to-earth and approachable, which is something I admire,” Wray said.

Although Pepple and Wray agree it will be a great show, the exact details of July’s work are ambiguous because the artist wants it that way.

“Miranda July has asked that we not share much about the performance in advance so that people can experience it without any preconceived notions,” Wray said. “I think going into a performance like this without a lot of ‘knowns’ is something really special.”

Tickets are $16.50 for students and $26.50 for the general public. They are available at the CAPA Ticket Office in advance or at the Capitol Theatre at the Riffe Center box office Thursday evening before the performance.

The performance is set to begin at 8 p.m.

“It was very inspirational within our local music scene — because it’s very rare you find someone as talented as (Scruby),” he said. “He is very particular and very specific about what he wants to do. I got the experience to work with a great talent and learned from him as an artist myself.”

Scruby said he thinks he falls closer to goofy and awkward than hip, but his strong writing skills made up for it.

“That’s everything I take pride in,” Scruby said. “The other part of rap is being cool, which doesn’t come naturally to me, and the writing does, so that’s what I focus on and care about.”

Rafael Huezo, a 2012 OSU alumnus and friend of Scruby’s, said the artist’s proficiency sets him apart from other rappers and suggested he is cooler than he gives himself credit for.

“He’s someone pretty intelligent as a person, and he’s got a little bit more swagger than (he) did before, and so the concoction of swagger and intellect is definitely going to catapult him into the main stage,” he said.

The rapper said he does not feel the need to try to be cool because it is better to be true to his character than create a false public image, which is something he said he will never do.

As a result, he chose to stick with his real name — Cal Scruby — rather than create a stage name.

“People are trying to poke holes in your story wherever you are, so I don’t really want to have skeletons in my closet. If you want to pull up my prom photos, you can do that. I’m never going to play a character or put on a front — I would rather just be honest and truthful, and you can make fun of me for who I am but not who I’m pretending to be,” Scruby said.

Listermann said the motivation and hunger of the Ohio native puts him in a good place at the moment.

“Whether it’s new artists or veterans, you like to see that motivation and crave to inspire. His fan base is growing significantly every month. I think since we’ve met, it’s tripled just based on the content we’ve put out. We’re in a good position,” he said.

A-listers like Chris Brown also see potential in Scruby, and the two are friendly over Twitter as well.

“When I introduced Cal to Chris, (Chris) thought he was great,” Listermann said. “‘I’d love to direct videos for Cal,’ and he ended up tweeting randomly one day the link to Cal’s SoundCloud page.”

Huezo said he doesn’t see Scruby as just a rapper because of his cleverness as a lyricist.

“He just spits knowledge. He kind of reminds me of — and he’ll laugh when he sees this — he kind of reminds me

Lego from 9A It took him two years to complete, after which it was displayed in the CMA’s first “Think Outside the Brick” exhibit. It’s now in two different parts in a storage locker, he said.

“I’ve had a couple of offers but time wise, it hasn’t worked out,”

Janssen said. “But now, I’d probably be ready to put it up somewhere, preferably on campus.”

Visitors can vote on their favorite model from the Lego Design Challenge, and the top four will be announced at the CMA on New Year’s Day. Each grand prize winner receives a $200 Amazon gift card. The

exhibit is set to run through Jan. 25.

“The purpose of the show is to promote creative thinking for everybody,” Sims said. “Lego can be used as a vehicle for exploration of new ideas and innovation.”

OSU alumnus Cal Scruby has recieved attention from rapper Chris Brown for his music. of Wale,” Huezo said. “It’s not just ignorant rap, it’s actually content if you listen to what he’s saying. It’s enlightening almost.”

Listermann also said directors like Wilmer Valderrama and Larenz Tate enjoy Scruby’s music and see raw talent in him.

He also hinted that big projects are gravitating toward Scruby.

“We’re in the studio this week with Eric Bellinger making a record. We got him in the studio with really big producers out here (in L.A.) in the next week or two, so he has a lot of new music coming out. So, for a new artist, that’s a really good thing,” Listermann said.

Even though his career is beginning to pick up momentum, Scruby said he is still trying to find his sound as a new artist. However, one thing that remains the same is his pride to represent OSU. “At Ohio State, there is so much pride in the school,” he said. “Everyone is for the same thing, especially on gamedays, so it is like a big family. What better school to represent than a school as big as Ohio State?”
