Ohio State’s marijuana policies stay despite open dispensaries DEBORAH ESHUN Lantern reporter eshun.8@osu.edu

As of January, dispensaries for medicinal marijuana have started opening in Columbus, but state laws legalizing the use of the drug are still at odds with federal laws. The Medical Marijuana Control Program, which officially went into effect in September, allows those with pre-approved conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, multiple sclerosis or epilepsy, to meet with a certified doctor and become registered to legally use marijuana to treat their illness. That law leaves Ohio State and other publicly funded universities stuck between state legislation that treats marijuana as a medicine and federal law that considers it an illegal Schedule 1 substance. Ohio State’s policy for marijuana, which prohibits smoking it on campus, has not changed despite the opening of medical dispensaries across the state in mid-January.

“I think the reality is that even figuring out how to get near a solution would not be easy until we get a change in federal law.”

ONE ON THE BALLOT USG campaigns kick off with pair challenged by write-in duo SAM RAUDINS Social Media Editor raudins.3@osu.edu

Undergraduate Student Government campaigns have begun with one team officially appearing on the ballot. Kate Greer, a third-year in history and German, and Julia Dennen, a third-year in public affairs, are running for president and vice president of USG, respectively, along with a slate of senators representing the various colleges and living areas on campus. The Greer-Dennen campaign is the only official team on the ballot. Greer and Dennen centered their campaign on the slogan “Make it happen,” meaning that the potential administration can make change happen for the students, and the students can be inspired to do it for themselves, Dennen said. “No one is going to use their voice the way you use your own,” Dennen said. The campaign also chose a megaphone decorated with paths from the Oval as its logo because the team wants to amplify the voices of students, and the Oval paths were created by students before the university paved them, Dennen said.

Both Greer and Dennen have been with USG since their freshman years through involvement in various committees and projects. Dennen served as the director of the governmental relations committee this past year, and Greer chaired the Undergraduate Caucus of University Senate, accord-

ing to their campaign website. If Greer and Dennen are elected, they said that the most immediate priorities from their platform are affordability, inclusive excellence and mental wellness, Greer said. “Those are three overarching areas that encompass so much of

A new environmental organization on campus is hosting its first ecological restoration project Saturday by clearing ground along the Olentangy River bank for its future tree-planting events. The international organization, Society for Ecological Restoration, started a student chapter at Ohio State in Spring 2018. Membership comprises both graduate and undergraduate students who want to learn more about restoring the environment and taking action. “The restoration project is the big draw for students to get handson experience,” Katie Gaffney, a third-year in environmental science, said.

Food insecurity on the South Side AKAYLA GARDNER Lantern reporter gardner.1199@osu.edu

The quality and price of food in a city can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, and new research at Ohio State is mapping that disparity. The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity partnered with several community partners and Ohio State colleges to study food insecurity on Columbus’ South Side. The study is part of a larger community/ university initiative called Food-mapping for Empowerment, Access and Sustainable Transformation, also known as FEAST, which aims to understand availability of healthy food in Ohio and how people interact with their food landscape. Glennon Sweeney, senior research asso-

ciate at Kirwan, said the South Side was the second neighborhood study to be completed of 12 proposed neighborhoods, but that number might increase depending on funding. Sweeney said voluntary participants were asked to map a normal route to get food in their area by taking photos of “barriers and supports” on their journey. On the South Side, the participants included seven African-American boys and their parents or guardians involved in My Brother’s Keeper Ohio, a national initiative to support the achievement of young men and boys of color. Each participant was given $20 and asked to make a normal trip to get food in their neighborhood. This process is repeated at different times throughout the year. Sweeney said participants were given money because, as researchers, they were interested in the value of $20 and how it fluctuates. They also gave them money to spend on food so they wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket. Neighborhood participants are split into groups and asked to submit 10 to 15 photos that best represent their experience buying food. “It was never intended to be a random sample. It was always intended to be a very purposive sample, so by having the community partner determine who would be interested, it was an invitation, and then we had the teens and the parents accept that invitation,” Tannya Forcone, a graduate research associate in anthropology, said. Sweeney said that prior to the study, each household is surveyed for its income and measured for its level of food insecurity based on USDA standards. Sweeney said youth participants said

they were being discriminated against by store owners and that one of the major findings of the South Side study was that store owners were charging certain customers different prices than others. One photo from a participant showed a receipt for three items all labeled “NO TAX” with prices totaling $19.25. Researchers also found that store owners were selling expired food. “I would also argue that even having a Kroger, is that not all Krogers are created

The team emphasized its position on inclusivity by naming interfaith prayer spaces, inclusive housing and diversity in enrollment as key parts of its platform. Greer said that mental health is brought up in almost every conversation she has had with faculty on campus right now. “If we can make a partnership with Apple, I’m pretty sure that we can make partnerships with different psychological services around Columbus,” Greer said. Greer and Dennen’s entire policy platform encompasses minimizing barriers to affordability, strengthening di-

verse initiatives, reinforcing diverse spaces, encouraging student-focused teaching, enhancing academic resource offerings, inspiring universal civic engagement, ensuring exceptional quality of student life, progressing health and safety assets, implementing best mental health practices, and identifying and organizing sustainability goals and priorities. Although the Greer-Dennen campaign is the only team officially on the ballot, Brandon Borgemenke, a third-year in history, and Max Rosenberg, a third-year in political science, are running as write-in candidates for USG president and vice president. “We are running to bring common sense and accountability to a student organization that for too long has been mired as in the bureaucratic ambivalence of undergradu-

ates,” their campaign website says. Borgemenke and Rosenberg are running on four policy points: furthering regional campus outreach, promoting comprehensive mental health awareness initiatives, restructuring first-year student experience and reviewing Ohio State’s long-term strategic plan. Borgemenke and Rosenberg will not appear on the ballot because they did not petition to be on it, Dennen said. Greer and Dennen will hold a town hall to field questions on Sunday from 5 to 7 p.m. in the U.S. Bank Conference Theater at the Ohio Union.

Fishman has considered becoming registered for the medical marijuana program, but he understands the university’s policy has not changed. “When push comes to shove, until it’s legal federally and the school can keep their funding from the government, nothing is going to happen because money is more valuable than a few kids at the university,” Fishman said. Ben Johnson, a spokesman for Ohio State University, said in an email that while the health of community members is top priority, they have to abide by the law. “The health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff is our top priority,” Johnson said. “However, marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug at the federal level, is captured under the university’s alcohol and drug policy as such, and is not permitted on campus.” Regardless of participation in the program, registered members cannot use marijuana on campus. “There are people who actually really benefit from it. To make them have to leave where they live [to consume marijuana] when they’re really sick is pretty f-ed up,” Fishman said. Any university, hospital or business that takes money from the government needs to keep federal law a high priority because of the potential loss of federal funding, Berman said. Berman also said it can be a cause for concern to have students without accommodation who are in compliance with state law but do not follow university policy at the same time. “But at another level, you got to be respectful of the reality that all the time, different jurisdictions take different perspectives on these kinds of challenging issues,” Berman said.

Award winning special effects artists to speak at the Wex NINA PIERI Lantern reporter pieri.7@osu.edu Two of Hollywood’s top special effects artists are coming to Ohio State’s campus for a first-of-its-kind event. Award-winning special effects experts Ben Burtt and Craig Barron will talk about their work and answer questions in a student-only presentation at the Wexner Cen-

ter for the Arts on Saturday. “These guys are pretty much the pioneers of visual and audio effects,” Jason Kincaid, a Columbus-based illustrator and designer, said. “They created some of the film industry’s [standards], and they created amazing works of art through what they do.” Burtt, a four-time Academy Award winner, is predominantly a sound effects specialist, most notably the mind behind many of the familiar sounds in “Star Wars,”

including the iconic breathing of Darth Vader, the robotic voice of R2-D2 and the lightsaber hum. He was also the sound editor for “WALL-E” and created all of the characters’ voices. Barron is a visual effects specialist who has worked on more than 100 films, such as “E.T.,” “Star Wars,” “Titanic” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” the latter of which won him an Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 2009. His work on “By Dawn’s Early Light” won him an Emmy. He was also nominated for an Oscar for his work on “Batman Returns.” Barron co-founded Matte World Digital, a visual special effects company that operated for 24 years. Kincaid, who has worked with Disney and Topps Trading Cards, said that Barron and Burtt are revolutionaries of the special

effects industry and have influenced him personally throughout his career. He said they had a hand in inspiring him to pursue working in the old movie poster illustration and design style that ultimately became his signature. Kincaid said as a child, his imagination was given a boost from the visual and audio effects he saw in their films. “That’s why I love working with those movies because they burned the right emotion in me, mentally speaking,” Kincaid said. Kincaid said that when Burtt and Barron come together, something special is created. He described the mixture of Barron’s matte painting with Burtt’s sound as a combination like “chocolate and peanut butter together” given the atmosphere and SPECIAL EFFECTS CONTINUES ON 6

Jacob Heacock, a second-year in music performance on the voice track, plays Figaro in the show. Heacock said this will be his first time performing in an opera or a mainstage production. Heacock said taking on the role led him to learn alongside the characters and grow as a person. “Going into it, I think my perspective on things wasn’t exactly the same as it is now,” Heacock said. Kimberly Monzon, a third-year graduate student in musical arts, plays Susanna, a role she said is known for its length on stage in the opera community. “I’m on stage 85 percent of the time, so I feel that it’s been a fun accomplishment to achieve the longest role in all [of] opera and to feel confident doing it,” Monzon said. Monzon said she appreciates about Mozart’s ability to portray the emotions in the piece, such as love, jealousy, anger, pride and joy. “Mozart could take the most complex and complicated human relationships and spell it out so plainly and clearly, using the most basic of human emotions that we all feel,” Monzon said. “The Marriage of Figaro” will show at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Sunday in the Wexner Center’s Mershon Auditorium. Tickets cost $10 for children, students, senior citizens, faculty and alumni, and $20 for the general public.

Researchers advise better sleep schedule, relaxation for improved health MICHAEL CARMODY Lantern reporter carmody.36@osu.edu

A consistent sleep cycle can be one of the most difficult habits to develop, especially for college students, and Ohio State researchers are learning more about how to maximize sleep for the often sleep-deprived. Sleep can often lessen as a priority among students as they grapple with balancing work, school and social commitments. Lawrence Chan, Ohio State assistant clinical professor of sleep medicine, explained the imperativeness of sleep pertaining to physical and mental health in college. “The full role of what it does is not completely understood, but it certainly appears that we require or function at our best between seven and nine hours of sleep,” Chan said. When students only get a few hours of rest, it can result in multiple forms of physical and mental impairment, he said. “In sleep deprivation, our memory is impaired,” Chan said. “Our cognitive abilities are impaired. Our energy is impaired. Most major systems are affected by sleep deprivation.” Chan said sleep is crucial especially during college due to the multiple areas of academics that must be balanced.

Lawrence Chan, Ohio State assistant clinical professor of sleep medicine, recommends seven to nine hours of sleep a night to improve health.

“Since the primary goal of college is a cognitive thing where we are trying to learn, be administrative in new subject ar-

Controversial art hopes to spark meaningful conversation

eas and integrate a lot of new information, we know that sleep plays such a high role in terms of maintaining your ability to do all those things,” Chan said. Chan’s best recommendation is for students to create and stick to a regular sleep schedule. Chan said maintaining a semiregular sleep schedule is vital, and that it is important to have “clear alignments of

our circadian rhythm with our active sleep cycle.” Chan said creating a routine schedule includes reserving your sleeping environment strictly for sleep. He said abstaining from things such as reading or watching movies in bed is the “ultimate challenge” for students, but an important guideline to follow. He said the state of relaxation your mind and body are in prior to sleep can be drastically altered by the use of technology. “Nowadays we talk about blue light exposure, which is exposure to screens such as phones [and] televisions, and those can interfere with our bodies’ natural process of releasing melatonin, which promotes sleep,” Chan said. Danielle Livelsberger, sleep lab manager at the Wexner Medical Center explained how the adjustment of screen time before bed and establishing a sleep routine are two crucial factors. She said screens have to be turned off before bed, and that the more relaxed someone is, the higher quality sleep they will receive. While Livelsberger emphasized that developing healthy sleeping habits are essential, she also stressed that it takes time and practice. “It’s not something you have to change overnight,” she said. “But if you start turning the TV off earlier, giving yourself maybe 30 minutes of wind-down time before bed and just start to initiate those good healthy habits, it makes it not so overwhelming, and they do make a huge difference.”

OLIVER BOCH Lantern reporter boch.15@osu.edu Art pieces that might not have a spot in commercial galleries are given a platform at (Not) Sheep gallery, a space that caters to conversation-provoking art, just in time for the Short North’s Gallery Hop. “One Step Forward, Two Steps Back” is a show meant to reflect the state of the world. For this invitational exhibition, owner and director Caren Petersen welcomed artists with distinct and interesting viewpoints to show their work that other local galleries in the area might not have. “Each gallery kind of represents [its] own specialty,” Petersen said. “This one I really wanted to be able to listen to a lot of different voices and present a lot of different stories and conversations to people. I think that you can best do that by keeping things fresh.” Magda Parasidis is one of the artists featured, and her work displays a theme of social and systemic issues. She said her work stems both aesthetically and conceptually from issues of urban poverty and urban ghetto. “What I’ve always felt is that real issues of poverty and racism aren’t always addressed directly,” Parasidis said.

Parasidis, along with other featured artists, will attend the Gallery Hop event on March 2 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. to discuss her work with those interested. “It’s an opportunity to engage,” she said. “We need to create spaces like this — it’s a form of activism. Staying critically conscious, politically sensitive [and] awake.” Priscilla Roggenkamp will also be featured; her pieces offer a sense of memory and tactile reminders of what we hold onto. She said a lot of the works in the show demonstrate “what we carry in life” and show “part of who we are.” Roggenkamp said that this show and ones like it are important to making a work of art and not just having it sit in the studio. “Caren has given her artists an opportunity to have a dialogue that’s not always about, ‘Is this beautiful? Will it fit over my dining room table?’ And that’s important, too, but the dialogue of something that is political or personal or feminist or whatever, that dialogue is just what art is about at its core,” she said. Roggenkamp will offer not only her textile artwork to the show, but she will be playing with her bluegrass band Rock Salt and Nails 6–8 p.m. during Gallery Hop. The exhibition opens Thursday in preparation for Gallery Hop and will be available to view for two months afterwards.

me for me.” With the talent he has accumulated, Johnson has excelled on the field as well. This past season, the Buckeyes finished the season with 41 sacks in 14 games, No. 2 in the Big Ten. Twenty-three of the 41 total sacks were from Nick Bosa, Dre’Mont Jones and sophomore defensive end Chase Young. This was something Greg Mattison, the former defensive line coach at Michigan and newly named co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State, watched and admired from afar. “Whenever you play in a league together, you always get a chance to see the other team’s defensive line. And I would always watch their defensive line and watch his coaching,” Mattison said. “All you’ve got to do is look what he’s done with guys and where they’ve gone to the next level.” Harrison said he met Johnson in the spring of his freshman season at Olentangy Orange High School. In the past four years, the five-star defensive end said their relationship has been strong, and their feelings of trust are mutual. When Harrison came to Ohio State and began workouts as an early enrollee, the pressure returned — the pressure to perform in front of the coach who had previously coached Nick and Joey Bosa, Dre’Mont Jones and Michael Bennett. “You know he knows what he’s talking about,” Harrison said. “You don’t want to let him down. You go that much harder.” Harrison said he goes that much harder because of Johnson, the coach who helped him decide to come to Ohio

feeling in the film. “Matte painting and the effects, they add the visual atmosphere, and Ben Burtt’s sound design adds the audio … and as an artist, I appreciate that,” Kincaid said. “The imagination that they spark in the viewer creates that whole movie experience.” David Filipi, Wexner Center for the Art’s director of film and video, said that Barron and Burtt present a rare opportunity for students. “They’ve only done presentations about other people’s films. This is the first presentation about one of their own films, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’” Filipi said. “This is the premiere of their topic, and they’ll do it at other places after we get the first presentation at the Wex.” He said the presentation is a first for the Wexner Center as it has never had special effects speakers before. Filipi said the center has hosted many other important voices in the film industry, but that this is the first time it has brought in people from the special effects side. “It is important to acknowledge and highlight everything that goes into a film, especially when special effects are more front and center in the films,” Filipi said. As for Burtt and Barron, Filipi said the fact that they are special effects historians as well as artists makes them novel speakers. “They are students of their field — they know what came before them, and they know how it influenced their work. Not only are they able to share this experience and knowledge with an audience, but not everyone is able or interested in doing that,” Filipi said. “A Conversation with Craig Barron & Ben Burtt” will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. A reception with the filmmakers will follow at 5:30 p.m. and a “Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark” presentation as a finale at 7 p.m. Admission is free for all students. Students are only allowed one ticket per person, and they can be picked up at the Patron Services desk. There is a screening of the movie at 7 p.m. Friday at the Wexner Center.

Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson arrives at the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, Calif. on Jan. 1.

State, the coach who, if not with the Buckeyes, would have changed the past four years of his recruitment. Harrison, Potter and McKenzie join a room filled with former five-star and four-star linemen, some of who, such as freshman Tyreke Smith, Taron Vincent and Tyler Friday, have barely touched the field. He wanted the camaraderie, the familial atmosphere, the brotherhood that Johnson has defined since 2014. He wanted the expectation of a unit led

by Johnson to come down to his play, matching those who had come before him. But for Harrison, it’s simpler than that. The five-star defensive end wants to learn from whom he considers to be one of the best in the country. “Everything he knows, I want to know.”

MEN’S HOCKEY

No. 7 Ohio State to play Michigan State in last regular season series MICHAEL BENZINGER Lantern reporter benzinger.3@osu.edu Right after winning the Big Ten regular season, the No. 7 Ohio State men’s hockey team (19-8-5, 12-6-4 Big Ten) will play its final regular season game when it hosts Michigan State (11-16-5, 7-11-4 Big Ten) this weekend. Ohio State has once again dropped in the USCHO polls, this time falling from No. 6 to No. 7. Michigan State, meanwhile, remains unranked in the USCHO polls, but has been consistently ranked last in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes went from a seven-game winning streak to hitting a bump in the season recently, having lost three straight games followed by a tie. The tie in the record books was an overtime win against Michigan in the Big Ten standings, giving Ohio State enough points to clinch the conference regular season title. Michigan State has also had a rough patch recently, having won only one of its past five games. Senior defenseman Sasha Larocque believes Ohio State is taking its recent Big Ten regular season win and turning that into positive momentum going into the weekend. “You play some great teams,

you play good games and it doesn’t always go your way,” Larocque said. “To win something like [the Big Ten regular season title] the way we did, it is definitely good and should help morale and help us push through.”

While the Buckeyes lead the Spartans in offense, defense and win percentage, Michigan State has a higher power play percentage, ranking No. 8 nationally with a 23.89 percent success rate. Head coach Steve Rohlik said

Ohio State will need to avoid the penalty box in order to counter the Spartans’ major strength. “We’re going to have to be at our best,” Rohlik said. “We certainly have to be more disciplined than we were this weekend as far

After a 4-8 start, this season seemed like nothing except a rebuild year for the Ohio State women’s basketball team following the departure of Kelsey Mitchell, along with the rest of the Buckeyes’ starting five from a year ago. Since the team’s worst start in more than a decade, Ohio State

as penalties go. The best way to kill their power plays is to stay out of the box.” Michigan State is led by junior forward Taro Hirose, who currently leads the nation with 35 assists and 50 points overall this season. While Hirose is a major contributor, Rohlik believes the entire Michigan State offense is what the Buckeyes should really worry about. “We can’t just try to stop him,” Rohlik said. “That whole line: People forget how good they are. They work extremely hard.” Senior forward Mason Jobst agrees with Rohlik’s sentiment. “They have some very highend, skilled guys,” Jobst said. “That top line is as good as any other line in the entire country so when it comes to shutting those guys down it’s very important; they’re very good.” No. 7 Ohio State takes on Michigan State for its final regular season games of the season this weekend at the Schottenstein Center. The games begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday.

has turned a corner, winning nine of the past 13 games, moving itself into the No. 5 spot in the Big Ten. With two games remaining before the Big Ten tournament, a tournament the Buckeyes would likely need to make a run in to have a shot at the NCAA tournament, a road battle against Wisconsin could be a crucial victory to help continue the momentum. The Badgers are No. 13 in the Big Ten, leading only 2-15 Illi-

nois to stay ahead of rock bottom. Their struggles come mostly from shooting, where Wisconsin ranks No. 13 with a 39.8 shooting percentage from the field. It gets worse from behind the arc, with the Badgers shooting 28.5 percent from 3, worst in the conference and No. 288 in the NCAA. But even worse than its shooting percentage from the field is Wisconsin’s work at the freethrow line. The Badgers’ 57.6 free-throw percentage is worst in the Big Ten, eight percentage points lower than Ohio State, which has the next lowest. The 57.6 percentage from the line is ninth-worst in the country, and the worst among Power-5 teams. Ohio State and Wisconsin will match up for the second time in an 11-day span, with the Buckeyes holding on for a 70-68 victory on Feb. 17 behind 21 points and 15 rebounds from freshman forward Dorka Juhasz. Senior forward Marsha Howard was No. 2 on the Badgers with 18 points and led the team with eight rebounds in the loss. Howard leads Wisconsin for the season with 14.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, shooting 48.7 percent from the field. Against the Buckeyes, it was junior guard Suzanne Gilreath who stepped up, hitting five 3s and finishing the game with a team-high 19 points. The five 3-point makes are the most by any Wisconsin player this season. Though Ohio State was able to

get the best of the Badgers on its home court, it may be a different level of difficulty in Madison, Wisconsin. The Badgers are 3-10 away from home — 2-9 on the road and 1-1 in neutral site games — but have won 10 of their 15 games in the Kohl Center. Ohio State takes on Wisconsin on the road at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The Mavericks have scored a WCHA-low eight first period goals this season but have given up 29 to opponents. Muzerall said the Buckeyes, who scored a goal 23 seconds into Saturday’s Wisconsin matchup, are focused on converting early in order to demoralize Minnesota State. Field, who scored the game-winning goal in overtime against Minnesota State in her team’s second meeting this season, said the Buckeyes can’t afford to underestimate any opponent this late in the season. “We really need to go in there like they’re the No. 1 team and just play the best game possible,” Field said. Despite being favored this weekend, the odds remain stacked against Ohio State to qualify for the NCAA tournament, which Field said is a pervasive motivation for the Buckeyes. “We like to be the underdogs. We always have been, and we kind of feed off of that,” Field said. “We just have to keep with that mentality to prove people wrong.” The first two games at the OSU Ice Rink are slated for 6:07 p.m. Friday and 3:07 p.m. Saturday, with a possible deciding matchup at 3:07 p.m. Sunday.
