Campus concealed carry: To commend or condemn?

Some students pick pepper spray as a weapon of choice to protect themselves on campus and off in fear of violent crime, including assaults. For others, pepper spray doesn’t cut it.

Instead, they would prefer a Glock, Ruger or Smith & Wesson.

Students such as Julia Hoban, a fifth-year in architecture, and Tom Filbert, a fifth-year in welding engineering, have concealed carry weapons licenses that allow them to carry a concealed handgun wherever permitted by law. Generally, they can’t carry at government buildings, places of worship, schools and law enforcement agencies, according to a document released by the Ohio attorney general.

“You never know what situation you’re going to run into,” Filbert said. “Even when you’re in places that you think are safe, you never know what might happen.”

Hoban said she often drives friends and other students home at night who feel unsafe walking

alone.

“I’ve visited friends a couple times and some of the neighborhoods around campus, and just looking around, I’m thinking to myself, ‘I would not want to walk here by myself at night,’” Hoban said.

Hoban and Filbert don’t carry on campus but argue they have a right to protect themselves while on campus, too, and should be allowed to carry their handguns, despite the Ohio State Code of Student Conduct prohibiting all firearms on campus except those stored in vehicles.

Opponents of concealed carry, such as Randolph Roth, an Ohio State professor who studies gun violence, said guns on campus increase violence and pose safety issues, such as accidental discharge.

“It looks like the best math that we have suggests that [concealed carry laws have] increased the rate of violence,” Roth said.

In December 2016, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed Senate Bill 199, which lifted a statewide ban on firearms from all college campuses. The law allows universities to determine their own policies for guns on campus. Only Cedarville University, a private Baptist university

STATE LAWS Twenty-three states allow universities to determine the conceal carry policies on their campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

CONCEALED CARRY PERMITS States, such as Ohio and Georgia, with right-to-carry laws must issue concealed carry permits to anyone who meets the minimum requirements for the permit.

east of Dayton, Ohio, has changed its policy to allow students, faculty and staff to conceal-carry on campus.

Ohio State updated its code of conduct in February 2019 to allow people with concealed carry licenses to store their guns in a locked compartment in their cars after settling litigation brought by Students for Concealed Carry in 2014.

“

Even when you’re in places that you think are safe, you never know what might happen.

Ben Johnson, university spokesperson, said in an email that Ohio State is in compliance with all state firearm laws.

“In general, university policies prohibit employees and students from possessing firearms on campus, and the legal prohibition against concealed carry on campus remains in effect,” Johnson said.

Young people drafting tweets about a third world war probably don’t need to worry about being drafted, according to Ohio State experts.

After Iranian Maj. G e n .

Qassem Soleim a n i w a s killed by a United States COURTESY OF OHIO STATE d r o n e Peter Mansoor strike Friday, fear of escalation led to talk of a third world war on social media. Peter Mansoor and Bear Braumoeller, experts from Ohio State, said a third world war — or even a regional conflict with Iran — is unlikely.

“It is a meme that has no basis in reality. At most, if war broke out, it would be a regional conflict between Iran and the United States and our allies.”

PETER MANSOOR Ohio State chair of military history

Braumoeller, a professor of political science specializing in international security and data analytics and author of “Only the Dead: The Persistence of War in the Modern Age”, said the origins of the conflict can be traced back to 1979 with the Islamic Revolution and the early 2000s, when former President George W. Bush called Iran part of the “axis of evil.”

String of men recently assaulted near campus LILY MASLIA Outreach & Engagement Editor maslia.2@osu.edu Several men were attacked near Ohio State’s campus this past week, and Columbus Police are still searching for the suspects.

The reports of assaults were unusual in terms of number and style: groups of men targeting other men in smaller groups or alone. Authorities such as Columbus Police had little to say about the attacks and if they are related.

Between Dec. 29 and Sunday, seven assaults took place off campus resulting in a safety notice issued by the university’s Department of Safety Monday, detailing two assaults that involved at least one Ohio State student.

In comparison, only three assaults occurred during the same week last year.

According to the safety notice, at approximately 2:25 a.m.

Sunday, three males, one being an Ohio State student, were walking on High Street near the Ohio Union parking garage when they were approached by a larger group of unknown males. A fight broke out, and the suspects fled in their vehicle. One person suffered minor injuries to the head, and the student sustained minor injuries.

The safety notice also included an assault at approximately 1 a.m.

Jan. 1, when three males, one being an Ohio State student, were

walking along East 14th Avenue and confronted by five unknown males. A physical fight occurred, leaving the Ohio State student with minor injuries, according to the safety notice.

“Although similar in nature, the crimes are not believed to be related at this time,” the notice reads.

On the same day at 3 a.m., officers were dispatched to East 13th Avenue and Pearl Street, where a 19-year-old male said he was attacked by several unknown suspects, according to the online police report. The victim was struck several times in the face with closed fists. The victim refused medical treatment.

In another incident, Mike Muffler, 2018 Ohio State alumnus, was walking back to his East 14th Avenue residence after celebrating New Year’s Eve around 3 a.m. when two unknown men began yelling homophobic slurs at him in an alley near Summit Street.

“That’s when I was like, ‘Hey, you can’t call me that,’” Muffler said. “And the next thing I know, they’re coming at me.”

Muffler was then attacked and fought back, and when Muffler got the upper hand, the other suspect became physically involved, Muffler said. Muffler’s friends came to help him, and the suspects fled.

“I don’t really know what truly their motives were, if they were

drunk guys or if they really had an issue with me being gay,” Muffler said.

Initially, Muffler was unable to locate his phone after the fight and reported the assault and robbery to Columbus Police. However, Muffler said he found his phone under a nearby bush the next morning.

On Dec. 29, in the early morning, three assaults took place near campus.

A man was jumped outside Bristol Republic in the Short North at 2:30 a.m. The 21-yearold male was punched in the face several times, and his iPhone and glasses were stolen, according to the online police report.

In the second incident, a 22-year-old male was punched and kicked near East 12th and Indianola avenues at 4 a.m., according to the online police report.

The victim said he believes he was set up to be assaulted.

“My main thing is that it’s not OK that stuff like this is happening,” Muffler said. “I just feel for people that can’t defend themselves in those situations.”

MIKE MUFFLER Ohio State alumnus and assault victim

During a third incident, a 31-year-old male was assaulted near Old North Columbus on High Street around midnight. The victim left his apartment around midnight to get food at Turkey

Hill, then returned two hours later beat up and bleeding, according to the online police report.

The victim said he did not remember anything, including why he left the apartment, where he was and who beat him up. The victim did not notice anything stolen. Officers checked the area and spoke with the Turkey Hill clerk, who did not hear anything about a fight.

University spokesperson Dan Hedman referred The Lantern to the safety notice when asked about the string of assaults.

Muffler said that while he isn’t sure if he was targeted for his sexuality, he is upset by what happened to him and others.

“My main thing is that it’s not OK that stuff like this is happening,” Muffler said. “I just feel for people that can’t defend themselves in those situations.”

“If we don’t respond, it will be the last obvious retaliation they engage in,” Braumoeller said.

the Quds Force in Iran, which runs regional operations throughout the Middle East.

Mansoor, a retired colonel, CNN military analyst and current chair of military history at Ohio State, served in Iraq as the commander of the First Brigade in Baghdad from 2003 to 2004 and Gen. David Petraeus’ executive officer from 2007 to 2008.

“This situation is entirely different,” Mansoor said.

Mansoor said that when he served in Iraq the goal was to allow Iran to play a constructive role in Iraq’s future without compromising their democracy, but now President Donald Trump is trying to force Iran to pull back its support of proxy forces and negotiate a new nuclear contract.

“He wants to be seen as a peacemaker,” Braumoeller said. “Escalation is very unlikely.”

Braumoeller said he believes Iran’s formal retaliation was the missile attack on American bases in Iraq early Wednesday morning that did not result in American casualties, which Trump revealed in a statement to the media Wednesday.

“[President Donald Trump] wants to be seen as a peacemaker. Escalation is very unlikely.”

BEAR BRAUMOELLER Ohio State political science professor

Trump also said in the statement that the U.S. will impose additional sanctions on Iran. Mansoor said the statement was both a fist and an olive branch, and the statement would take the argument through diplomatic channels as opposed to war.

Both Braumoeller and Mansoor said World War III is unlikely to occur.

“It is a meme that has no basis in reality,” Mansoor said. “At most, if war broke out, it would be a regional conflict between Iran and the United States and our allies. It would only become a world war if China or Russia became involved, and I don’t see that happening.”

Mansoor said he does not anticipate that outcome because China and Russia have no stake in a war between the U.S. and Iran.

Braumoeller also said he thinks a regional conflict is unlikely.

Mansoor said the long-term ramifications will become clearer in the weeks and months ahead, but there is still one wild card in the situation: the Shiite militia, whose deputy commander was killed in the same drone strike as Soleimani. “[The Shiite militia] also would like to seek a measure of revenge for his death,” Mansoor said. “Although Iran and the United States now seem to be on a path to de-escalation, some attacks by Iraqi militias to U.S. troops in Iraq that cause casualties could throw a severe complication into matters.”

Arts Scholars exhibition takes student work downtown NICHOLAS YOUNGBLOOD Arts&Life Editor youngblood.27@osu.edu It doesn’t take a scholarly background in art for students to land in a gallery downtown, with help from the Arts Scholars program.

The Urban Arts Space will host the Art Scholars Exhibition, featuring selected works from Arts Scholars students, beginning Tuesday through the end of January. The pieces span various mediums, from acrylic paint to video documentary, and represent the diverse backgrounds of the students involved in the program.

The Arts Scholars program places incoming first-years into a community together in Baker Hall West, where they are exposed to all art disciplines, including visual and performance-based mediums, according to the Arts Scholars website. Like all Scholars programs, students are not required to major in the area of interest to apply. According to the site, about half of the roughly 300 Arts Scholars students are studying subjects unrelated to arts.

The annual exhibition, taking place downtown in the entryway of Ohio State’s Urban Arts Space,

is open to all Arts Scholars, but pieces or proposals must be submitted with an artist’s statement to a jury for selection. One piece each year is selected as Best in Show, and the artist is awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

Megan Wright, a fourth-year in art and technology, was one of the selected artists in this year’s exhibition. Her submission consisted of two short films, one being a documentary about three of her biracial friends.

“I wanted to kind of let them tell their stories about what it’s like to be biracial and mixed and having trouble connecting with their cultures since they switch between two cultures,” Wright said.

Her other piece is a two-dimensional animation about her experience as a Chinese person adopted by an American family.

She said both videos have a similar theme of dual identity.

“I feel like this is a self-reflection piece about feeling like I have two sides to myself, like my American side and my Chinese side,” Wright said. “So I think this was a good way for me to express myself without using words.”

This is Wright’s fourth year

being selected for the exhibition, something she said she is proud of each time. She said she can look back at previous submissions and see how she has grown as an artist and person.

Her first Arts Scholars Exhibition was the first juried exhibition she had ever been accepted for.

“It makes me feel validated, in a way, because growing up I’ve always loved doing arts-related stuff and drawing,” Wright said.

“But to finally have my artwork that I’ve been working months on, maybe even a year, to be put in a professional setting where people are going to be looking at this and judging it, critiquing it, I still think it’s a great experience.”

Jessica Sunderhaft, another selected artist, submitted an acrylic painting loaded with personal significance. “Wonderment” portrays her two young neighbors from home catching fireflies to-

gether. She used to babysit the girls and wanted to capture their childish fascination with the simple things in life.

Sunderhaft, a first-year in strategic communication and moving image production, said this is her first time being accepted to a juried exhibition. She said she wouldn’t have this sort of opportunity if it wasn’t for the Arts Scholars program.

Students perform the “Hallelujah” Chorus from George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” for the Music Celebration Concert in the Mershon Auditorium in December 2014.

After hopping in her car and turning on the radio, Alex Goad was caught pleasantly off guard when the station announced its next song — one with which she was very familiar.

“It was just a really nice surprise because it’s not something you expect,” Goad, a fourth-year in flute performance, said.

Goad is part of Ohio State’s Flute Troupe, whose cover of Irving Berlin’s “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” aired Sunday on WOSU Public Media’s Classical 101 FM station. The recording was part of the radio series “Concerts at Ohio State,” a collaboration between the School of Music and WOSU that features performances from students and faculty of the school.

The collaboration got its start when Christopher Purdy, broadcast manager and on-air host of WOSU, approached Don Gibson, then-School of Music director,

with an idea: get the Ohio State School of Music’s performances on the radio. Gibson was director from 1992 to 2004, according to previous Lantern reporting.

“I wanted musicians on the Ohio State campus studying in the School of Music to feel as if they had a broadcast home,” Purdy said. “It just made sense that we had a regular series featuring concerts given on campus.”

Today, the series is still going strong. This year’s show premiered Sunday and will continue every Sunday at 1 p.m. through early March, Purdy said.

“Everybody drives down High Street, and they drive through campus, and 95 percent of the people who do that every day really have no idea what goes on on campus,” Purdy said. “I thought it would be great for the musicians to have a chance to take a bow and be heard.”

Immigrant women to embrace their stories through dance ANNA RIPKEN Copy Chief ripken.2@osu.edu Actions speak louder than words — a phrase Lucille Toth takes literally.

On Board(hers), a dance workshop and performance directed

by Toth, an assistant professor of French at Ohio State’s Newark campus, is coming to the Urban Arts Space Saturday through Monday. The event offers an artistic exploration of immigrant women’s stories, highlighting the participants’ immigration experiences through a workshop and performance that allow them to focus on their feelings by writing, speaking in their native languages and creating their own gestures to perform, no matter their dance experience.

Toth said the workshop is open to anyone who was born outside the United States and identifies as a woman. The workshop will be followed by a free performance that people of any gender or eth-

“Saturday and Sunday we stay inside the building, and we work

together,” Toth said. “I give them tasks. I give them movement that they need to unpack, decompose and create their own movements based on the testimonies they own.”

Monday is the result of an intensive weekend of sharing among one another, Toth said.

“It’s others telling their own story in their own words, in their own language — first language — and the movement would be the translation of the stories,” Toth said.

One such story comes from Yildiz Guventurk, who moved to Columbus, Ohio, about a year and

a half ago from Turkey. Guventurk came to pursue her graduate degree in dance from Ohio State, where she met Toth and became aware of the project.

“I was just so interested in being a part of it, and I had no idea what it was, how it was going to be, but just the idea of being in the same room with women from all over the world sounded really exciting to me,” Guventurk said.

She joined as a participant and has since become Toth’s creative assistant.

You don’t have to justify it, and you don’t have to try to fit in.”

Toth said that when she first started the workshops, the group would meet monthly to play with concepts such as walls or borders.

“How do you feel when you cross the border? What type of movements can reflect that feeling?” Toth said. “We put the audience in some sort of vulnerable position when we were speaking our own language that they did not understand, and we decided what was coming into the performance space. So we kind of included the audience into that conversation.”

The workshop — open and free to anyone who was born outside the U.S. and identifies as a woman — is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Urban Arts Space. The performance is at 7 p.m. Monday, free for audience members. More information regarding sign-up for the event can be found at https://www.onboardhers.com/upcoming-events/journey-workshop-2.

Rivalry rekindled for Michigan matchup JACOB BENGE For The Lantern benge.30@osu.edu A third Associated Press Top 25 team will venture to Columbus to challenge the Ohio State women’s basketball team at home.

It will not be just another ranked opponent, though — it will be No. 24 Michigan (11-3, 2-1 Big Ten), which will take on the Buckeyes (8-6, 1-2) at the Schottenstein Center Thursday night.

“This is as good as the Big Ten has been since I have been here, for sure,” Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff said. “It is deep –– everybody is good –– but we just have to keep trying to find a way, though, because it is not going to get any easier.”

Ohio State has alternated wins and losses over its past five games,

“Everyone loves playing The Team Up North. We just have to have energy from the beginning. Everyone is going to come out, regardless of who you are.”

played a really good first half,” McGuff said. “We didn’t play so well in the second. We had a chance but didn’t close it out, so we have to learn from that and move on.”

Michigan sophomore forward Naz Hillmon provides the biggest threat to the Buckeye defense, entering as the No. 7 scorer in the Big Ten at 15.5 points per game.

“She can score. She is a great

rebounder. They really play hard and execute on offense, so it will be another challenge for us,” McGuff said.

The Buckeyes will likely look to sophomore forward Dorka Ju-

hasz to answer Hillmon’s strong offensive prowess. Juhasz leads the Buckeyes in scoring with 12.8 points per game.

Freshman guard Jacy Sheldon is also opening eyes, especially after her 12-point showing against Maryland.

“I think I got in my groove a little bit, so I think that boosted my confidence,” Sheldon said. “Our practices have pointed out everything we need to take care of. We had a lot of stuff to learn from that game as a whole, so I think we are excited to move on.”

The Buckeyes cannot focus all of their attention on Hillmon and stopping the Michigan offense, however. The Wolverines are second in the Big Ten in rebounding margin, while Ohio State checks in at No. 11.

“You have to rebound, even offensive rebound, to get more points,” sophomore forward Aaliyah Patty said. “Turnovers are really important. We have been working on making the extra passes, reading the defense more.”

The Buckeyes have shown flashes this season as they have hung in games against then-No. 3 Connecticut, No. 1 Stanford and No. 17 Maryland. Ohio State has also proved it can outlast highly ranked teams and tough opponents, with wins over then-No. 2 Louisville and No. 24 Minnesota.

The Buckeyes seek to add No. 24 Michigan to the list of teams they can outlast.

“Everyone loves playing The Team Up North. We just have to have energy from the beginning,” Patty said. “Everyone is going to come out, regardless of who you are. If you want to win, you have to play for the full 40 minutes.”

The game tips off at 6 p.m.

Thursday in the Schottenstein Center.

DOBBINS FROM 8

the Buckeyes may see more of a run-by-committee approach out of the backfield in 2020.

W i t h McCall not showing signs of improvem e n t , Crowley e st a b l i s h e d Marcus Crowley himself as the next most productive back for the Buckeyes this season, averaging 9.5 yards per carry on 25 attempts.

However, an injury against Maryland ended Crowley’s season early, which could mean a leg up for Chambers to get a head of steam for the backup job this offseason.

“Master, he’s definitely a guy that works hard. He really worked hard in the offseason, so if I take that same mentality, I think I can do the same thing,” Chambers said.

Both Chambers and Crowley entered as four-star prospects,

and they’ll have a season of experience in the program before three-star Cincinnati native Miyan Williams arrives on the scene as the Buckeyes’ lone running back recruit in their 2020 class.

For a team that ran the ball nearly 20 more times a game than it passed this year, Ohio State may be facing more of a question mark at the running back position than it did before Dobbins joined the program.

If the team hopes to have similar success running the ball, its backs must all adopt the philosophy that Teague echoed all season long.

“I just wanted to be there because if you get in, you gotta be prepared, no matter if you’re warm or not,” Teague said. “You gotta get in there and make plays and help prepare for excellence.”

be ready, do all I can just to help the team any way I can.”

But when his most important reps of the season came after Dobbins limped back to the locker room following an ankle injury in the Fiesta Bowl, Teague couldn’t produce. He ran for just 9 yards on seven carries against Clemson.

Still, Teague appears the frontrunner to replace a man who set the all-time single-season rushing mark at Ohio State, even if the program is losing more than it gains.

“J.K. does a great job of leading him. Even at practice, he’s always on him, making sure he’s doing stuff right, so next year, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s gonna be ready,” redshirt sophomore offensive guard Wyatt Davis said.

Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins (2) scores a touchdown in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl against Clemson Dec. 28. Ohio State lost 29-23.

GRIFFIN STROM Sports Editor strom.25@osu.edu The plight of the backup running back position at Ohio State took something of a parabolic arc this season.

Throughout fall camp, head coach Ryan Day challenged

someone to step up and become the player who could give junior star J.K. Dobbins a rest in a potentially crucial situation.

Ohio State found its man in redshirt freshman Master Teague, who, without even a mention from position coach Tony Alford about having the backup spot just a week before the Buckeyes’

opening game, racked up a Big Ten seventh-best 789 yards on the ground.

Entering the College Football Playoff semifinal, Teague was beginning to gear up for the new role of Buckeye starter come 2020.

“It’s starting to hit me a little bit,” Teague said. “It’s getting close to that time, so I just want to

“It’s starting to hit me a little bit. It’s getting close to that time, so I just want to be ready, do all I can just to help the team any way I can.”

MASTER TEAGUE Ohio State redshirt freshman running back

With an injury that kept him from practicing in fall camp,

Teague seemed to possess the same, if not worse, prospects to capture the backup job as redshirt junior DeMario McCall and freshmen Marcus Crowley and Steele Chambers.

But after running for 7.4 yards per carry in the s e a s o n’s o p e n ing three games including a Master Teague 106-yard performance against Indiana, Teague quickly found solid footing.

Teague had 100-plus total yards three times and rushed for at least 75 on six occasions to go along with four trips to the end zone.

“He just runs hard, man. He’s a hard runner, puts his nose down, and take a couple guys with him,” Davis said. “I would definitely say he probably surpassed everybody’s expectation.”

For a man who had no hard time running over opposing defenders for most of the season, Teague faced challenges gaining traction during the final stretch of the Buckeyes’ season.

In the final three games when Teague took a handoff –– Penn State, Michigan and Clemson –– the Tennessee native had his worst games of the year, running for barely more than 2 yards per carry to gain just 45 yards on 21 attempts.

With Teague’s Clemson performance particularly worrisome, DOBBINS CONTINUES ON 7

Buckeyes hit the road for conference clash AARON LIEN Lantern reporter lien.47@osu.edu With its lone loss in the past nine games against No. 2 Cornell, Ohio State men’s hockey resumes Big Ten play with a bit of momentum following a 2-1 overtime win against Army West Point.

No. 7 Ohio State (13-5-2 , 6-31 in Big Ten) travels to challenge Wisconsin (7-10-1, 2-7-1-1) in a two-game series Friday and Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin.

“I think they’re very talented. I think they work very hard. They put a lot of pressure on you,” head coach Steve Rohlik said. “Those are kind of their identity: getting up and down the rink, playing hard, playing in your face, having talent, scoring some goals. We’ve gotta be ready for a 60-minute game.”

It will be the Buckeyes’ fourth game back from a three-week break in December, and despite their loss to Cornell, Rohlik said the team’s overtime win this past week was a morale booster.

Ohio State has won eight of its past 10 games against Wisconsin, including six in a row. The teams

last faced off Feb. 9, 2019, when the Buckeyes won 4-1.

Statistically, the Buckeyes and Badgers have different strengths.

Ohio State is No. 6 nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 1.9

goals per game. Wisconsin, on the other hand, gives up an average of 3.4.

The Badgers have an offensive edge, though, as they possess the No. 16 scoring offense in the

country at 3.1 goals. Ohio State rounds out the top 30 in the nation, scoring 2.7 goals per game.

“They’re very offensive,” Ohio State senior forward Tanner Laczynski said. “We just need to

play within our structure and capitalize on our rushes and stuff.”

Laczynski received the Big Ten Third Star of the Week Tuesday, his second Big Ten honor this season and eighth of his career.

Laczynski leads Ohio State with 13 assists and 20 points.

Wisconsin hasn’t played a game since Dec. 7, aside from an exhibition against the U.S. under-18 team Jan. 1. While Wisconsin was able to rest for nearly a month to practice and refresh, Rohlik said the extra contests Ohio State has played allow the team to learn through the rigor of competing in close games.

“The longer the break, I think it hurts you more,” Ohio State senior defenseman Gordi Myer said. “For us to have four games played since Christmas break, I think it’s helped us a lot to get back into things.”

Myer said the team needs every point possible to put them into Big Ten Championship contention at the end of the season.

“Every point counts. Every shift counts,” Myer said.

The puck drops at 8 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday at the Kohl Center in Madison.
