New police chief takes the reins AUBREY CORNWELL Lantern reporter cornwell.68@osu.edu Former University Police Deputy Chief Craig Stone has begun his first full semester as acting chief of police at Ohio State after the departure of former Chief Paul Denton.

Acting Chief Stone joined the OSU community on May 1 as deputy chief. He then took on the role of chief on July 1 after former University Police Chief Paul Denton retired.

Stone said his transition from deputy chief to chief has been great.

“Chief Denton spent a lot of time on-boarding me,” he said. “He left me in good shape. I have big shoes to fill.”

Prior to working for OSU, Stone served 29 years with the Columbus Division of Police and served one year at Cleveland State University as chief and director of campus safety As a part of the transition, Stone said he has gotten to know all the aspects of the university, including student life, athletics and research.

He said he also has reconnected with previously held contacts, including chiefs in the surrounding areas.

Ellie Carmen Ohio Sandberg on a piece of Ohio Stadium turf.

Daniel and Mackenzie Sandberg wanted to make sure their first child was born with a home-field advantage.

Ellie Sandberg was born on Aug. 31 at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Santa Clara, California, on a piece of Ohio State turf, with help from a medical professional who some might call a natural-born enemy— a nurse who was born at the University of Michigan and is a huge U of M fan.

Daniel, a 2009 OSU graduate, said he had to convince his wife to give birth on a piece of turf, which was used at the Ohio Stadium from 2007 to 2012. After he convinced her to “give birth on Ohio soil,” the medical staff was on board.

Daniel said he bought the piece of turf at Buckeye Corner on Lane Avenue during one of his trips back to Columbus.

Daniel said he has always been a diehard fan of OSU football, never missing a home game for seven consecutive years.

Global Ambassadors speak during an event on Sept. 1.

The weekly cross-cultural communication event, held by the Office of International Affairs, had its first meeting of the semester on Sept. 1 and will continue to host weekly events through Dec. 8.

Juli Sasaki, a second-year in art management, returned to participate in Global Engagement Nights this semester after taking a gap year to travel with Development of New Environments, a multicultural program.

“During my travels, I realized how closed-minded I can be and how unaware ... just having friends from the same country for my entire life and being surrounded by a lot of people that believe the same thing as me,” Sasaki said.

Sasaki said Global Engagement Nights really influenced her and forced her to keep her mind open.

“I was born in the United States, but my mother is a half-Chinese, half-Korean American, and my father is Japanese,” Sasaki said.

“I know little about Asian culture, European culture and African culture, but making foreign friends

enables me to know these cultures, to understand how people live and think in other countries, to know who we are and to think about the world in a different way.”

Sasaki said she has a friend from Morocco she met at Global Engagement Nights two years ago, and she just got in touch with her friend again after her year of travel in Africa and Europe.

“I think my most memorable experience of Global Engagement Nights would be meeting people here, hanging out afterwards and keeping in touch with them,” SaENGAGEMENT CONTINUES ON 4

Alpha Kappa Psi celebrates 100th year at Ohio State MICHAEL HUSON Campus Editor huson.4@osu.edu The Ohio State chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi is celebrating its 100th year of fostering professional development in business and commitment to service work in the community, tied by the bonds of brotherhood.

AKPsi, a professional co-ed business fraternity, will welcome Leigh Steinberg to campus on Sept. 18. The open event will take place at the Ohio Union.

Steinberg has negotiated contracts for more than 300 professional athletes, including Troy Aikman and Steve Young.

Steinberg, often referred to as a “super agent,” is also considered to be the inspiration behind the titular character played by Tom Cruise in the Cameron Crowe movie “Jerry Maguire.” He released his autobiography “The Agent: My 40-Year Career Making Deals and Changing the Game” in August.

Bryan Fisher, AKPsi brother and a third-year in finance and sports industry, said he coordinated the visit with the hope that Steinberg’s drive would be inspirational to other students.

He said the visit will give guests an opportunity to hear Steinberg’s story and some of the lessons he has learned over the years.

THELANTERN.COM

“He was a shark in the sports industry — he’s the biggest there was,” Fisher said. “He’s learned so much through the years, he’s got so many incredible stories … and I think it would be awesome if all of Ohio State could listen to it.”

Patrick Gill, AKPsi vice president of membership and a thirdyear in political science and finance, said although chapter members take different academic paths and fraternity alumni go on to work in a myriad of fields, member interest in sports industry is gaining.

“With our brothers, it’s never a one-track career path,” he said.

“We have brothers who kind of take things into their own hands, and it’s cool because as they forge those paths and those connections, other brothers who follow along will get inspired by what they see some of the alums and older members doing.”

The chapter has 105 members and aims to further the development of business leaders at OSU. And although the chapter is connected with the Fisher College of Business, it’s open to people of all majors.

The chapter is planning to bring in a pledge class of 20 to 25 students this semester and another class of similar size during spring semester.

at OSU and proposed to her at Mirror Lake. Five years later, after relocating to California, the Sandbergs found out Mackenzie was pregnant with their first baby hours before the 2014 Big Ten Championship game against Wisconsin.

Daniel said he wanted to give their daughter an OSU-inspired name and have the child born on Ohio turf. Daniel said his wife needed persuading here, too, but agreed to name the baby something OSU-related.

“When my wife and I found out we were having a girl, I spoke to my brother who suggested naming our daughter Carmen Ohio,” he said.

Prior to their daughter’s birth, the Sandbergs said they came up with some other prospective names like Cardalia Jones Sandberg. On Mackenzie’s Facebook page, they posted some ideas, hoping to get responses from friends to help name their daughter.

Mackenzie suggested naming her Ellie Carmen, but Daniel said he wanted to add Ohio to her name as an ode to “Carmen Ohio”. Thus, the couple agreed to name their daughter Ellie Carmen Ohio Sandberg.

Daniel said Ellie’s mother sings “Carmen Ohio” to her as a lullaby.

But Ellie isn’t California’s only little OSU fan. At a Buffalo Wild Wings in San Jose, the Sandbergs met a couple whose son was named Braxton Ohio.

However, all three Sandbergs,

and culture, and community services.

Gaarder said every week two global ambassadors discuss, design and decide different activities that participants can take part in and have fun with.

Megan McCarthy, the program manager for Global Engagement, said they encourage students to submit some movies about their cultures and will show movie trailers in their following meetings.

McCarthy said the Global Engagement Nights could be very helpful for international students who want to know more about Columbus and American culture, and provides them a chance to socialize with domestic students.

McCarthy also said the program is an inspiring chance for domestic students to keep an open mind and know more about the rest of the world, especially for those who are majoring in

international studies.

“We found a lot of international students are nervous to talk to our domestic students, and our domestic students also feel nervous to talk to international students,” she said.

McCarthy said some students join study abroad programs after taking part in Global Engagement Nights.

“We want to offer an opportunity for both international and domestic students to have

some interesting conversations, share different cultures, learn a little bit about the rest of the world, and hopefully make really long-lasting friendships,” she said.

Students can join the Global Engagement Nights discussion during Tuesday meetings at 6 p.m. in 122 Oxley Hall.

Outside of his new position, Stone serves on the panel for the NAACP and serves on a panel at the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center.

“I think it’s important that people know what we’re doing, what procedures we’re following and also working with our partners to problem-solve crime issues in the community,” he said.

Stone said he wants OSU to become a recognized leader of policing.

OSU is one of 69 colleges and

universities accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.

“That’s very prestigious and the bar is set high,” Stone said.

“It shows that we’re following the best recognized practices in the industry.”

Stone said a future challenge will be the eight new residence halls that will open on Lane Avenue and North High Street next year.

“We’re going to have 4,500 students living in that area — that’s going to be a challenge.

We want to make sure we’re still providing the same level of service to our students. And also, that’s a highly traveled area; we want to make sure that area is safe,” he said.

Stone said another challenge University Police constantly face is keeping the campus community under control during home football games.

“We have to make sure everybody is safe, so that’s an ongoing challenge,” he said.

Stone said he and his team are creating new ways to educate the campus community on safe-

ty, such as using the sidewalks properly. University police are teaming up with Transportation and Traffic Management to set up signs at busy intersections, such as East 15th Avenue and North High Street to let students know that jaywalking is an illegal and finable offense.

Baisden said that he enjoys working with Stone.

“I think he’s an ultimate professional,” he said. “Having such a long distinguished career at the City of Columbus, it is a good fit for public-safety operations at Ohio State.”

UNDISPUTED STYLE HARRY XU Lantern reporter xu.952@osu.edu

What a couple of great weeks of school we have had regarding style.

Ohio State students really do have the best style — and the best football team — in the nation.

Our favorite time of the year is back. On Saturday, home football games will commence.

What to wear to the game is something we all think about.

Gameday style can be anything. It can be comfortable and simple. It can be high class and dressed up.

Like all fashion, gameday fashion is whatever you want it be.

“I like to keep it simple and wear my old 2007 James Laurinaitis number 33 jersey,” Austin Manna, a fourth-year in finance, said.

Manna also has his gameday hat that he got at Barnes and Noble.

They have great stuff; it is a little expensive because it is licensed apparel, but it is worth splurging once or twice for football games.

“I wore it (the hat) every game when OSU went 12-0, so I feel like it’s pretty lucky,” Manna said.

Manna had some closing advice for all fans as they gear up for the game.

“Gameday fashion should be simple because you should be focusing on cheering for the Buckeyes, not what you are wearing,” he said.

I also spoke with Jake Mulkey, a third-year in globalization studies.

“I wear an OSU T-shirt, jeans and lightweight Sperrys,” Mulkey said about his gameday picks.

The “Baltimore” cold reading, a play that is part of the Big Ten Theatre Consortium, took place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the New Works Lab located in the Drake Performance and Event Center.

Big Room Bar amps up live music, bar food HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu The Big Room Bar calls itself “a bar with a radio problem,” as it shares a building with alternative radio station, CD102.5.

The station moved into the building at 1036 S. Front St. in the Brewery District about four years ago, and since then has used the upper floor’s stage for live performances from national artists visiting Columbus.

The Big Room Bar opened on CD102.5’s 25th birthday, Aug. 21.

It was roughly a year ago that plans to add a bar to the space were set into motion, said bar manager Mike Rist.

Prior to the station moving in, the building housed the Swiss

Chalet social club, so it already had a fully functioning kitchen and bar that just needed a few updates, said kitchen manager Justin Hemminger.

“It was (station president) Randy Malloy’s plan to turn this place into a fully functioning bar/restaurant/rock club. We were already doing Big Room performances in there and his thought was: we’ve already got people in here to watch shows, we could do that literally every day,” Hemminger said.

The bar will offer a range of nightly entertainment options.

Starting on Monday, Sept. 14, Frontstage with Tom Butler will be taking place in the bar. It will feature local bands and the first three songs of the set will be broadcast live on CD102.5.

Tuesdays have live karaoke with

Parker Paul and, starting in October, Wednesdays will be a comedy night.

On Thursday through Saturday nights, there will be live shows from local, and occasionally national, acts.

The bar offers three menus: breakfast, brunch and late night foods. Beginning at 11 a.m. each day, they serve a range of sandwiches, appetizers, salads and entrees with prices topping out at around $16 for an entree.

Rist said while the bar and the station share a building, the profits from the bar do not go to supporting the station’s finances.

SEX TALK

The in’s and out’s of birth control REGINA SQUERI Lantern reporter squeri.7@osu.edu What do you say we talk about birth control?

This week’s installment is not just for people with uteruses – birth control affects everyone, as I will explain. Stay tuned, my dudes!

Although I’m sure we are all familiar with birth control, humor me while I start with the basics.

Contraception comes in many forms, but let’s take a minute to consider that word. I am specifically talking here about products

that prevent conception, not to be confused with Plan B or other things related to that. In general, birth control refers to any medication that affects hormone levels in order to prevent pregnancy and regulate and stabilize periods, as well as many other benefits.

The birth control pill is what a woman or a person with a female reproductive system takes every day at relatively the same time. It can only be completely effective if the user follows the instructions to a T, so if you have to, do what I did and set an alarm on your phone as a reminder.

Also super crucial: if you are

prescribed antibiotics, make sure to tell your doctor if you are on the pill and ask if the antibiotics will interfere. Many antibiotics cancel out birth control, so be careful.

If you find having to remember to take a pill every day tedious, there are other methods such as a hormone patch, a birth control shot and a vaginal ring. Remember that every method affects everyone differently and they may have different side effects, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t like the first few ones that you try.

Important note: you do not have to be sexually active to want to be

on birth control. Many people have used it to treat a myriad of issues, like acne, period pains and PMS. Second important note: if you feel birth control is not for you and you are sexually active, that’s OK too! Whatever the reason is, I understand that some people just plain don’t like it. The use of condoms is acceptable in this situation. Don’t let anyone make you feel pressured to start a medication that you don’t want to because it is an incredibly personal choice.

I mentioned earlier that this topic can apply to everyone, and

I meant it. If you have a partner who is on any form of birth control, don’t take for granted that they are following the instructions. I know many people who found they had been taking it incorrectly for years, so even if you are not the one who is taking it, educate yourself. Talk to your partner about it and make sure everyone is on the same page.

It is crucial to remember that no birth control is 100 percent effective. Write that down. Engrave that in your brains. Taking birth control does not mean that sex no longer has consequences.

“On day games, because of the weather, I will change to shorts,” he said.

I then spoke with a glamorous OSU alumna, Jenn Cramer, who graduated this past summer and now is a stylist at Michael Kors.

“I go for gameday casual — an OSU tee, high waisted shorts, converse shoes and a crossbody (purse),” Cramer said.

She also dresses “sporty chic,” which means just throwing on sneakers with a crop top and ripped jeans.

Her favorite stores that carry her gameday fashion choices include local shops like Homage and Simply Vague.

Cramer’s last bit of advice was to “stay true to your style while supporting your school.”

What you wear to the game should be whatever you want it to be. I feel it is important to have your own look at football games. I agree with what the people have told me. Be yourself, be comfortable, be simple and go for glamorous. And, as always, go Bucks!

resident adviser Shelby, her residents and how they deal with a “post-racial” age. They still have hang-ups on how their parents and their hometowns have dealt with race.

Their thoughts and feelings on race are put on display when one of the residents, Fiona, draws a racially charged cartoon of another resident, Alyssa. From there, the residents are left on their own to deal with the conflict while Shelby avoids going back to the dorm and her residents.

Eventually, Shelby and her residents are faced with the reality of race, discuss it and work on their differences as the play comes to an end.

Each weekday people can take advantage of “The Five Spot” during happy hour from 4 to 8 p.m. For this special, Hemminger chooses five dishes to offer for just $5.

Rist raved about the food.

“I think one of the standouts is the brat dip,” he said. “It’s a twist on sausage and gravy, but it’s made with brats.

It’s incredible to put on top

of fries, and your burger. It’s amazing.”

As far as adult beverages go, the bar offers specialty cocktails named after local icons and bands who have played at the station, such as The Flaming Lips cocktail made with jalapeño-f lavored vodka.

They also offer various types of beers, bottled and on tap.

The bar is all ages, but the

nighttime weekend shows will be 18 years and older unless otherwise noted.

Patrons should also note that the bar might have to close occasionally for an hour or two to allow a national act to play in the Big Room for CD102.5.

Closings will be announced on the bar’s website.

The play talks about issues with race and how college students deal with it. The dialogue is brutally honest and will make people look closely at themselves and how they view race.

The goal is to open up a dialogue about race.

The play was done as a cold reading, where people read the play’s dialogue out loud, similar to how actors do a table reading for a show or a movie.

At the cold reading, the seats were positioned in a circle instead of arranged in rows and facing the stage. With this method, people were invited to take roles from the play. It was purely optional and anyone could just sit and read along with the script. It was fun and involved

everyone who wanted to be there.

Charles Boyles, a fifth-year in international relations, was one of the participants in the cold reading.

“It was a really cool setting to see theater get done in,” Boyles said. “I had never seen anything like it. It was really cool to see a piece get picked apart.”

Tameishia Peterson, a fifthyear in theater, was another participant in the cold reading.

She said “Baltimore” is a really good piece as it covers a lot of important topics, however, it’s confusing as to who the audience is.

Peterson said if it is written for students, the complex structure could turn a lot of people

off or have an adverse effect.

My take on the play is that even though it was only a cold reading and not an actual stage performance, it was done very well. It was as enjoyable as watching a play, if not more.

The cold reading allowed everyone to get involved instead of just sitting in the dark for an hour and a half and then leaving the theater. It also allowed the participants the chance to discuss the play and what it meant to them. Hopefully, the play will move past cold reading and on to stage production.

dia regarding our politicians. We must take advantage of the tools we have at hand and investigate by using technology not only to see pictures in different social networks but use them as an empowerment tool to discuss important issues and present proposals.

Let us make a change and create an impact so that politicians acknowledge the importance of our generation and what we have to offer. We can make a difference by engaging in situations that involve our day-to-day needs. We must remember the saying traditionally coined by Napoleon Bonaparte, “The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again.” These words are more than a message; they are advice to young people to remind us that we must think wisely and learn from past mistakes when deciding how we engage in the social, political and economic problems of our nation, instead of stepping back to do nothing, complaining and criticizing.

It is time for us to step up — to not repeat the history of past generations and make sure the next generation will be proud of how we fought and fought to improve the nation.

ernments and scholars of politics is the disinterest and indifference manifested by this political participation. The Pew Research Center conducted a study in 2012 that concluded the majority of young adults under 30 years old were not involved in the 2012 election, almost half what it was in 2008.

The study stated that only 18 percent of voters under 30 years of age said they were following campaign news closely, while this number was 35 percent during the 2008 election. That shows a significant change in the interest of the young people and their involvement of this area. Additionally, in 2012, only 50 percent of voters under the age of 30 were “absolutely certain” that they were registered to vote. This is a noticeable decrease from the 61 percent who considered themselves “absolutely certain” in 2008.

Another factor that seems crucial when putting into question whether young people are interested in politics is the fact that they need to be informed of what is going on. The information to guide citizens in decision making becomes difficult to differentiate with respect to political advertising. This is produced by the mass media in order to market interests that in turn impose on the state effect because “it appears that the current role of the nation state is largely to protect the global system of free trade and supply infrastructure companies and utilities at least possible cost,” according to Noreena Hertz, in a 2002 book called “El poder de la sombra (The Shadow Power).” The young citizen no longer chooses a form of government and instead buys a product: the created image of a candidate.

It is extremely important for us not to get carried away by the little things we hear and see in the me-

visit us online at thelantern.com

I should start by saying that when I was around 13 years old, I was one of those young people who had absolutely no interest in politics, much less in voting for someone I didn’t know and probably would never meet.

One day I woke up thinking about my parents and how they worked so hard every single day to maintain our family. As time went by, I grew more conscious of how hard it was for them to pay their debts. How difficult it became for us to go out and eat as a family because of the economic struggle. From then on I began to wonder if there was something one could do to change things. At that time I did not realize what tool was needed to make this great change or if it already existed. I did not realize at that time that so many people had sacrificed their lives and their families in order for us to have the right to vote and elect leaders that would lead our country toward a greater good.

Young people represent more than 50 percent of the U.S. population between the ages of 15 and 54 years, according to the CIA World Factbook. When you look at these numbers, you can just imagine the young people going to the polls, as well as the generation and new ideas that they represent.

More importantly, the fact that these young people are going out to vote lets you know that we are sending out a message: we want our voices heard and our proposals understood. It is important that we acknowledge these numbers since they represent much more than just numbers; each and every one represents the people of our nation and they remind us that we owe it to every person that fought for this right.

Women’s soccer to host top 10 opponent GABRIELLA DIGIOVANNI Lantern reporter digiovanni.6@osu.edu After a victorious match at home last Friday, the No. 15 Ohio State women’s soccer team looks to remain on the winning path as it hosts a set of games this weekend.

The Buckeyes are set to face the West Virginia Mountaineers on Friday at 7 p.m. at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium before squaring off against the Bucknell Bison on Sunday at noon.

The team had a few crucial days off before returning to practice to prepare for the weekend’s matchups.

“We had a little bit of time off after our game on Friday,” coach Lori Walker said. “We needed that for some rest and recovery, so practices have been tight and intense and have been at a high level.

I really like where the team is at and what they’re doing. It seems like the rest really paid off.”

The Scarlet and Gray enter FriHAWAII FROM 12

did against the Hokies, crediting the depth that OSU has at just about every position as a reason for confidence.

Previously for Hawaii Despite being outgained by 71 total yards, the Rainbow Warriors held off Colorado at Aloha Stadium 28-20 on Thursday night.

Senior quarterback Max Wittek completed 19 of 38 passes with three touchdowns and two interceptions, while Columbus native Paul Harris led the way on the ground. The junior rushed for 68 yards on 17 attempts.

The offensive highlight of the game for Hawaii came from a 79yard connection from Wittek to junior receiver Marcus Kemp in the middle of the second quarter to put Hawaii up 15-7 at the time.

Senior defensive lineman Luke Shawley starred on defense for Hawaii, racking up 14 tackles, including 1.5 sacks.

Joining the party When OSU topped Virginia Tech on Monday, it did so without the ben-

day’s match 4-0-1 on the season, but Walker says the team’s record is not the most important thing.

“We really don’t focus on where our record is. The word ‘undefeated’ isn’t really part of our vocabulary. We just focus on the small things that have gotten us to where we are,” Walker said. “Our defending and the speed at which we’re transitioning into attack and into defending I think has been key to us.”

Junior defender Bridget Skinner said she believes in the work the team has done thus far.

“I think we are just leaning on each other and building off of our concepts,” Skinner said. “And we have been following this concept to kind of build a ship, and I think it’s coming together and we kind of know what our ship needs to look like. We’re not all individual players this year, which is really helping.”

Skinner said improved leadership on the team — by one player in particular — has been a critical

component to the Buckeyes’ undefeated start. “(Redshirt junior) Morgan Wolcott, our center back, is really stepping up this year. She has been on and off with injuries in previous seasons, but this year she has been out and she’s been stepping up and I really think she’s the driving force of our team,” Skinner said.

With the No. 8 Mountaineers coming to Columbus, Walker said she knows the team needs to be playing at its best. In order for that to happen, she is counting on individuals to step up.

“Whenever you’re playing against an opponent, such as West Virginia, who we’re very familiar with, you need personality players to step up,” Walker said. “Personality comes in all kinds of ways.

Personality can just be somebody that shows up with extra energy, personality can be somebody that does something special, personalCOURTESY OF OSU ity can be somebody that’s willing OSU junior defender Nicole Miyashiro (3) during a game to do extra work defensively or in against Illinois State University on Aug. 21 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. transition.”

OSU senior linebacker Joshua Perry (37) celebrates after a turnover during a game against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Marshall, junior H-back Dontre Wilson, redshirt senior receiver Corey Smith and junior defensive end Joey Bosa were all suspended for the opener due to violations of athletic department policies.

Marshall, Wilson and Smith are poised to bolster an offense that already crushed Virginia Tech to the tune of 572 total yards and a school-record 10.2 yards per play.

Bosa, a 2014 unanimous Associated Press All-American, should force the opposing offensive line to return to its usual double-teaming of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native, which sophomore linebacker Raekwon McMillan said could enable the rest of the defense to run wild.

“Joey is one of the best, if not the best, player in the nation,” McMillan said. “Having him back on the field with us, even though we had guys step up last week, having him back on the field will be fun.”

Awards and records With the Virginia Tech game approaching, there was plenty of doubt about how Braxton Miller, a former

quarterback turned H-Back, could contribute turn right out of the gate.

The redshirt senior quickly put those doubts to rest, putting up not only a strong game but an award-winning one.

Miller, after catching two passes for 78 yards and rushing six times for 62 yards, with a touchdown doing both, was named the Big Ten offensive player of the week for the fourth time in his career.

Additionally, the Huber Heights, Ohio, native’s 54-yard receiving touchdown early in the third quarter tied Art Schlichter’s school record for career touchdowns responsible for with 85, while his 53-yard run later in the quarter set the new mark.

Up next After the 3:30 p.m. game against Hawaii on Saturday, the Buckeyes are scheduled to continue their threegame non-conference homestand against Northern Illinois. Kickoff is again set for 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 at Ohio Stadium.

“We’ve just got to keep going and grinding it out.”

Mason also said that the team is confident and will be fine as long as the players and coaches stick to everything they know.

“We have all the pieces to win games and we have the philosophy so I think that as long as we stick to what we know and execute our game plans, we’ll be fine,” Mason said. “It’s a confident bunch, it’s just a bit of a hardship, but we’ll bounce

back.”

CLASS act Mason was announced as a candidate for the 2015 Senior CLASS Award on Thursday. To be eligible for the award, a student athlete must show achievements in the following four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.

“It is truly an honor to be nominated for the Senior CLASS award,” Mason said in an online

release from OSU. “I am blessed to have the opportunity to be a student athlete at Ohio State and extremely humbled to be considered for such a great honor.”

A committee will select the top ten finalists from a list of 30 candidates in October. Those finalists will then be placed on a ballot for a nationwide vote.

One male and one female will be selected for the award and those winners will be announced at the 2015 NCAA Men’s and

Women’s College Cup championships in December.

Last season, former OSU goalkeeper Alex Ivanov won the award, joining linebacker James Laurinaitis in 2008 as the two Buckeyes to win for their respective sports.

Looking ahead Following Friday’s action, the OSU men’s soccer team is scheduled to travel to Akron, Ohio, to face the Akron Zips on Sept. 16.

VOLLEYBALL FROM 12

Keys to victory Heading into the Blackbird Invitational, senior outside hitter Katie Mitchell said the key will be the intensity of the back-row defenders.

“I thought our back-row defenders did a great job of scrapping,” she said. “I mean, they picked up everything that you could possibly throw at them.”

In the D.C. Koehl Classic, junior libero Valeria León had 58 digs en route to a second straight

all-tournament performance, while sophomore defensive specialist Kalisha Goree added 24.

Mitchell also said the presence of the team’s middle blockers was huge for the OSU offense last weekend and she hoped they continue their high level of play.

“Having the middles as a constant presence makes the other teams worry about them a little bit more than they usually do, and that opens up our offense,”

she said.

Sandbothe earns more honors One of the middle blockers to whom Mitchell was referring is junior Taylor Sandbothe, who was named a Big Ten co-player of the week alongside sophomore middle blocker Haleigh Washington of Penn State.

“She played at another level this weekend and that’s what I talked to her about,” Carlston said. “And it wasn’t just the game, it was her persona, her personality, how she

played the game.”

Sandbothe was also named the D.C. Koehl Classic tournament MVP after picking up 42 kills on a .521 attack percentage, along with 16 blocks and three aces.

What’s next?

OSU will wrap up its nonconference schedule by playing in the Golden Grizzlies Invitational in Rochester, Michigan, on Sept. 18 and 19.

from the tough loss Friday, and from the get-go, Navy gave a great effort and were all over us,” Buckeyes senior midfielder and co-captain Zach Mason said.

Kidwell said that despite the two losses, the team will continue to work hard to get a win.

“We have an extremely talented team, probably one of the most talented teams since I’ve been here,” Kidwell said.

Sophomore outside hitter Luisa Schirmer echoed the sentiments of her coach when she described the team as confident but focused as it heads into another important set of games.

“Two undefeated teams are coming into the tournament, so we’re going to have to play our best again,” Schirmer said. “We can’t let our confidence overcloud how hard we’re going to have to work.”

READY FOR HAWAII Ohio State prepares to welcome the Rainbow Warriors after quick turnaround

A

RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu

fter returning to campus at around 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning after beating Virginia Tech 42-24, Ohio State has the task of a very short turnaround to its next game.

“It’s real difficult right now,” OSU coach Urban Meyer said.

“Guys are still sore, banged up. That was a tough game.”

Now with the Labor Day challenge against the Hokies in the win column, the Buckeyes (1-0) are set to welcome the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (1-0) for OSU’s home opener.

Despite Saturday’s game marking the first-ever meeting between the two programs, Meyer said that the Hawaii game was not mentioned once until the Virginia Tech one came to a close. The coach described the preparation for Virginia Tech as a “Super Bowl-type

atmosphere” and prepared for the game like there is “no tomorrow.”

Potentially putting the Buckeyes at a further lack of preparation for Saturday’s game is the fact that Meyer and his coaching staff were not allowed to hold a practice until Wednesday, just three days before the game.

“We appealed to the NCAA to let us meet with them yesterday and all that, and they said no, so those are all things probably before you schedule a Monday night game we should ask those questions because we’re way behind,” Meyer said.

The coach further added that Wednesday’s practice was an abbreviated one because players were still tired from playing two nights before.

However, Meyer said that he “feels great” about the team being fresh enough to play as well against the Rainbow Warriors as it HAWAII CONTINUES ON 9

The Ohio State women’s volleyball team is looking to capture its second tournament win in a row this weekend as it heads to Brooklyn, New York, for the Blackbird Invitational.

OSU (5-1) is set to take on host Long Island University Brooklyn (0-4) on Friday at 7 p.m. to kick off the tournament. The No. 15 Buckeyes are then scheduled to take on two currently undefeated teams on Saturday, playing Syracuse (5-0) at 10 a.m. and No. 13 Arizona (6-0) at 5 p.m.

The Buckeyes are riding a fivematch winning streak and are coming off a tournament win on their home floor at St. John Arena, defeating then-No. 14 Florida State twice and Northern Illinois once.

Coach Geoff Carlston was happy with the way his team stayed steady and worked together, and said he hopes it carries over to this weekend.

“I thought we really played well as a unit this weekend,” he said.

“Everyone impacted our team and our wins. In that sense, I think we feel really good about the culture we’ve created.”

Carlston said his team has confidence after sweeping the Sports Imports D.C. Koehl Classic tournament, but his players are trying to remain grounded as they prepare for conference play.

“We really try to stay so in the moment because you’re going to have big wins and big losses in the Big Ten,” he said. “Then the next day, you have to be playing another top 25 team.”

The Buckeyes outplayed their opponent in the first half of the game against UMBC, but the Retrievers fought back in the second half.

should have won,” junior defender and co-captain Tyler Kidwell said.

“I thought we had some chances and they had a few chances, but they put them away and that kind of was the difference.”
