New leadership named at medical center OSU chooses new CEO of health system and COO of the Wexner Medical Center MICHAEL HUSON Campus Editor huson.4@osu.edu Ohio State has chosen a new chief operations officer of the Wexner Medical Center to fill the position left by the resignation of Peter Geier in December. David McQuaid will step into the role of Wexner chief operations officer and chief executive officer of the OSU Health System. He is expected to begin serving on Feb. 1, with approval from the university Board of Trustees. McQuaid has the experience to handle business development, clinical operations and fiscal accountability, said Dr. Sheldon Retchin, Wexner CEO and executive vice president of health sciences. “We’re pleased to welcome David McQuaid to Ohio State,” Retchin said in an OSU statement. “He’s spent the last 25 years leading academic hospitals and hospital systems to greatness through financial and operational improvements. David brings a strong combination of expertise and leadership that’s needed to help the Wexner Medical Center and the Health System continue to expand and excel.” As CEO of the University Health System, McQuaid will oversee the operations of six university hospitals and the Ohio State Primary Care and Ambulatory Networks, according to the release.

Full-time students need not worry about losing their tuition-free May Session class. Ohio State will continue to offer tuition credit for up to three credit hours of coursework this May. In an email to the College of Arts and Sciences, OSU stated that the credit will apply to the first fourweek session for qualifying, nongraduating students this spring. Students who qualify for credit must be enrolled full-time during Spring Semester and not graduating, with the exception of students earning their associate degree, in dual-degree programs or enrolled in multiple degree programs. The tuition credit for this fourweek session will cover general and instructional fees, as well as the nonresident surcharge, but students are responsible for paying all other fees that might apply to them, such as the Student Activity Fee. In-state tuition for students is $10,037 per semester, so qualifying students have the potential to save about $1,673 to $2,509 per three credit hours.

Alexander Wendt, professor of political science and Mershon professor of international security.

Alexander Wendt keeps a tidy office at Ohio State; his books are stacked and shelved, his desk is organized. But beneath this exterior, Wendt, Mershon professor of international security and a professor of political science, is shaking the foundations of social science. Wendt’s recent publication, “Quantum Mind and Social Science: Unifying Physical and Social Ontology,” is a culmination of 10 years of work. In it, he strives to counter many core assumptions of the social sciences that have been based on classical physics, he said. “If you were inventing the social sciences today for the first time, and you were looking to physics and saying, ‘OK, which kind of physics

is the best basis for social science?’ I think nowadays you would say, ‘Oh, of course, it’s quantum physics — not classical,’” Wendt said. “I think the classical model of man that we talk about is actually wildly counterintuitive.” Wendt said his interest in quantum consciousness began a little over 10 years ago in the University of Chicago bookstore; he happened to choose a book on quantum consciousness and was quickly absorbed by the radical argument.

On the website quantumconsciousness.org, Stuart Hameroff, director of the University of Arizona’s Center for Consciousness Studies, defined quantum consciousness as the assumption that consciousness is generated from quantum vibrations inside the brain’s neurons, rather than the classical view that consciousness is the result of computation among brain neurons. “I decided I wanted to write a more academic version of that book

so that it would get taken seriously by my colleagues,” Wendt said. Wendt said that around that time, in the early 2000s, the greater academic community dismissed quantum consciousness as nonsense. “It’s still routinely dismissed as nonsense, but there are a lot more people now that are taking it seriously than 15 years ago,” he said. A former student of Wendt, Tim Luecke, managing editor for the journal International Theory: A Journal of International Politics, Law and Philosophy, said that Wendt has already built up an incredibly successful name in international relations. “When he was already as successful as he could be, he decided to tackle a subject no one would touch,” Luecke said. “I think a lot of scholars in international rela-

THIS WEEK IN WELLNESS

Countering seasonal affective disorder DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145@osu.edu The warm weather streak in Columbus seems to be ending with an onslaught of sleet and chill this week. Students at Ohio State are getting out their big coats and preparing for more snow. With the season changing, The Lantern talked to R. Ryan Patel, senior staff psychiatrist at OSU, about seasonal affective disorder.

The most common time for SAD to occur is in the winter months Q: What is seasonal affective disorder and how many people are affected by it? A: Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is mainly characterized by depressive symptoms that come and go during a particular time of year. In addition to feeling sad, some people also notice decreased energy, increased sleep, increased

appetite with carbohydrate craving, weight gain, irritability, conflict with others, heavy feelings in arms or legs. Many consider SAD to be a subtype of either depression or bipolar illness. According to studies, roughly 10 to 20 percent of the population is affected by some form of the condition. Q: Is there a common time of the year for SAD to occur? A: The most common time for SAD to occur is in the winter months, but some people can have it in the summertime. Q: What are some ways to treat SAD? A: Treatment options include healthy lifestyle habits such as healthy eating habits, exercise, staying socially connected and avoidance of alcohol, excessive caffeine and drugs, counseling, prescription medication and prescription light therapy. Some people with SAD will need a combination of these treatments to obtain benefit.

tions are a bit disappointed because they wanted him to do something big in international relations.” But “Quantum Mind and Social Science” is not about international relations, Luecke said; the project is about ontology, the study of existence. It tackles the question of what the world is made of and how it works. Luecke said whether the work actually turns out to be true is secondary. “Even if he’s wrong, in the end I think this is a really important book because it creates a different worldview,” Luecke said. “The world looks different after having read the book, and that’s something that has not happened for me with any other piece of academic writing.” In saying something different, Wendt said he expects a wide range of reactions against his current publication. “I think that’s going to create resistance. There’s a famous line about any new radical idea: at first, people laugh at it or dismiss it out of hand, then they start trashing it, and then finally they accept it,” Wendt said. “So, I’m not sure if I’m between the ‘ignored and laughed at’ or ‘trash’ phase yet, but I’m certainly in that early stage, so I think it’s going to be ugly before it gets good.”

thelantern THE STUDENT VOICE OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY The Lantern is a student publication which is part of the School of Communication at The Ohio State University. It publishes issues Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and online editions every day. The Lantern’s daily operations are funded through advertising and its academic pursuits are supported by the School of Communication. Advertising in the paper is sold largely by student account executives. Students also service the classified department and handle front office duties. The School of Communication is committed to the highest professional standards for the newspaper in order to guarantee the fullest educational benefits from The Lantern experience.

A colleague of Wendt, Bear Braumoeller, an OSU professor of political science that specializes in quantitative studies of international security, said that the book has a lot of potential for a positive reception, but it’s still a very risky project. “It’s daring, it’s really bold and it’s incredibly interesting,” Braumoeller said. Wendt said it felt liberating to write in definitive terms in the book. “That’s what scientists are supposed to do; they’re supposed to make a bold conjecture, a bold hypothesis, and people go out and test it. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong. That’s how science advances,” Wendt said. Wendt said he hopes to expand his project to change future generations of political science scholars. “Institutionally, what I want to do, eventually, is try to create an interdisciplinary quantum social science program,” Wendt said. “Whether here, or somewhere, where grad students could come in, they could apply, and take quantum physics and a bunch of other courses.” Wendt is planning to offer a 5000-level course in the spring of 2017 on quantum social science. The class will be taught using Wendt’s book as the core text.

“The book is pitched at a much more philosophical level, and so anybody who’s willing to engage in the philosophical ideas, whether they have a background in physics or not, would be welcome,” Wendt said. Wendt said he wants to create a legitimate discussion around an idea that most dismiss as nonsense. “Maybe I’m wrong, but if I’m wrong then at least the defenders of the classical view will have a much more robust, much stronger defense of their assumption,” Wendt said.

OSU’s email stated that May Session will continue “as in previous years,” but Steinmetz’s prediction that the name may change was correct. May Session will now be known as the Four-week Session 1, with classes beginning on May 11, according to the Summer Term 2016 Update provided by OSU. OSU also will offer a 12-week Summer Term, two six-week and eight-week sessions, as well as two additional four-week sessions during Summer Term.

But I don’t feel like it’s fair that I live this way, afraid to ask for help and afraid of my friends and family. There have been days where I have wanted to pour out the sickness and explain to the people I have loved why I disappeared, but I don’t think the world is ready. Someday I want to be able to sit next to the boy on the bus that uses the same laundry detergent my rapist did and not have to hold my breath. I don’t want to be scared to tell people I tried therapy, and I don’t want to be scared to tell them why. It’s not because I’m not strong enough, but because as the world currently is, I feel they will not understand. And the very saddest thing to me is that my experiences are not unique. But I want all that to change.

‘Nostalgic’ campus Raising Cane’s closes for re-location KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu Members of the campus community desiring hand-battered, fried chicken tenders and Texas toast within walking distance will have to temporarily curb those cravings. Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, the off-campus fast-food restaurant situated at 1816 N. High St. closed its doors Tuesday in preparation for its move a few blocks south to 10 E. 11th Ave., where Potbelly Sandwich Shop used to call home. The official grand opening in the new building is slated for Feb. 1. Tuesday marked the end of more than an 11-year run at the restaurant’s now-former location. “Just to see what this location is now — it is sad,” said Eric Organo, the chief financial officer of Raising Cane’s Ohio. “Each location has a special meaning, especially because this was the first in Ohio.” Not only was it the first in Ohio, it was the first store outside of Louisiana and the first franchised Cane’s. Organo, who began working for the company in 2013, said there is “absolutely” nostalgia associated with the restaurant relocation because of how special that particular location was in kickstarting Cane’s growth throughout Ohio. Despite that, he stressed that there is excitement surrounding the transition. “We are happy with the new location,” Organo said. “We are thrilled to be in the (South Campus) Gateway. We wouldn’t change anything about our location.” Part of the reason for the enthusiasm surrounding the relocation, Organo said, is the proximity to Barnes & Noble book store, as well as other off-campus eateries.

Morgan said a “street crew” will be floating around Columbus in the coming weeks distributing flyers that entitle holders to a complimentary three-finger combo.

With Cane’s no longer being so close to his house, he will go without it “maybe once or twice a month,” he said.

David Bowie performs live on the Plaza at Rockefeller in 2003.

COURTESY OF TNS

LISTEN UP

New interstellar and international music to check out SAM KAYUHA Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu There is something appealing and refreshing about a new year, a 12-month clean slate with possibilities that seem endless. Music never really starts over, though — it builds on itself. These first couple of weeks of 2016 have brought music that expands on the past but swerves into its own lane. Here’s what you should listen to this week. David Bowie’s“Blackstar” The music world seems a little less dazzling without David Bowie. Rock’s great shapeshifter made some of the genre’s most innovative and interesting music over the course of his 50-year career, with eras as Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke coalescing to give us Bowie 2016, whose vision will remain as boundary-breaking as it was in 1972. “Blackstar” is a jazz-infused art house acid trip that often teeters on the edge of the experimental cliff, then pulls back. Recorded with the Donny McCaslin Quartet, “Blackstar” sounds like no other Bowie work, skirting the trend of veteran rockers rehashing their old sounds. Instrumental breakdowns abound. Bowie’s worn voice makes lines like “Look up here, I’m in heaven / I’ve got scars that can’t be seen / I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen / Everybody knows me now” all the more affecting. Bowie never really seemed like one who would fade into anonymous retirement or cease his innovative ways. Instead, he left us in a supernova. Hinds’ “Leave Me Alone” These Madridistas are not much different sonically than their peers in the lo-fi guitar rock scene, but there is something to be said for deft songwriting and a certain abstract sweetness, exemplified by song titles like “Fat Calmed Kiddos” and “Castigadas En El Granero” (“Grounded in the Barn”). Throw their raucous live shows and a charming Twitter presence into the mix and Hinds may very well be la proxima gran banda de España, or the next great Spanish band. Kanye West’s “Real Friends” Last Friday brought the announcement of

Bowie’s mindbending final album, the return of Kanye’s GOOD Fridays, and charming Spanish garage rock from Hinds the release date for Kanye West’s new album “SWISH” (Feb. 11), as well as the return of Good Fridays, weekly releases of new songs to promote the upcoming record. “Real Friends” is the first Good Friday track since 2010, a somber return to rapping for West, featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Lamenting the lack of trust in people that celebrity brings, this track is throwback Kanye, emotional and defiant, with something to mourn besides the fashion houses that did him wrong.

SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Arts&Life Editor ruibal.1@osu.edu In 2008, I went to Japan for two weeks for a journey of a lifetime, marketed more importantly as a great resume booster — sidenote: 13-year-olds shouldn’t be concerned about resumes. We climbed Mount Fiji, explored the streets of Tokyo and took a bullet train across the country. We enjoyed many culinary delicacies, including the much-coveted Kobe beef — another sidenote: Kobe beef shouldn’t be wasted on 13-year-olds. Everything was beautiful and all the food was delicious, but I was still left feeling a little homesick midway through. When I went to lunch one day, though, I saw a piece of home. In individual bowls on lunch trays were steamed okra. I had seen the green gobs before in gumbo, what my Southern-rooted family would eat every Christmas. My grandma would also fry okra in a cornmeal crust and serve with fried chicken and mashed potatoes. A piece of Americana abroad. That’s one of my favorite things about food: The fact that I can sit down and enjoy okra, it’s slimy texture and seeds that pop, and feel like I’m halfway across the globe at my grandma’s small kitchen table is amazing to me. Food connects us all. So let me connect you to my family’s holiday dinner with this recipe below. One last sidenote: Cooking with bacon grease is also pretty amazing. Forget what “Shape” magazine told you about New Year’s resolutions. Expand your mind.

he believes the team had done on Monday and Tuesday. “The way we practice really has an impact on the way we play,” Tate said. “If we go in and have two great practices, we usually play extremely well, and yesterday’s practice was great.” Tate’s fellow sophomore forward, Keita Bates-Diop, added that a loss like Sunday’s can be an important element to coming out with a new focus and intensity on the practice courts, which then extends to the next contest. “We have to come out with the pain of last game, let it all come out in the game,” Bates-Diop said. “Forget about the game, but at the same time, show everybody that it’s not us. … We’ve got to come out in this next game and do everything we didn’t do last game.” OSU and Rutgers are scheduled to square off at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Schottenstein Center. Looking at Rutgers After going just 10-22, including a 2-16 mark in conference play in its first season as a member of Big Ten men’s basketball, things haven’t gone much better for Rutgers in its second year. The Scarlet Knights have

dropped each of their first four games in Big Ten play, including the last three by 20-plus points. The Buckeyes had their way with Rutgers in the teams’ only meeting in 2015, winning 79-60. Former OSU guard D’Angelo Russell had a buzzworthy performance in that game, registering a triple-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Still, with an offense featuring three players averaging double-digit scoring — led by freshman point guard Corey Sanders’ 13.3 points per game — Matta said he expects the Scarlet Knights to put a good number of points on the scoreboard on Wednesday. “They’ve got guys that can just flat-out score,” Matta said. “They score within the offense, they break the offense … they’re a little of a different type of team, because they have a couple of different gears that we’ve got to be ready for.” Finding a balance Perhaps the only pleasant element for OSU against Indiana was freshman guard JaQuan Lyle, who exploded for 29 points on 11-of-20 shooting. It has been a mercurial rookie season for the Evansville, Indiana,

native, who had been averaging just 6.8 points per game in the four games prior to Sunday’s. Matta said teaching Lyle to play his role on a consistent basis has been a challenging process, but he hopes Sunday’s career-high performance can help launch the freshman to the next level. “I think that, when his time is done here, he’s going to be an incredible basketball player because it’s all going to come together for him,” Matta said. “I think he has a chance to be a complete basketball player, but we’ve just got to find that balance for him.” While Lyle is trending up after an extended period of struggle, Tate is still embroiled right in the middle of a slump of his own. After scoring in double figures in seven of OSU’s first 10 games, Tate has only reached the mark twice in the last seven. That came to a low point on Sunday, as he only made one shot in six attempts. “It’s just been that a couple of teams have been doubling down in the post a little more, but that’s not an excuse,” Tate said. “The shots just aren’t falling. I’ve just got to concentrate more when I’m in the positions I’m in just to get the ball in the hole. And if they don’t fall,

that will likely be short on experience can be a top-four team — or top 10 or top 15 — is irrelevant to the players who suit up in the scarlet and gray. It is ingrained in OSU culture to play with the same sense of pride every time the jersey and pads are put on. “We play for our brothers,” Lee said. “Just play for the guy next to me. Just try to do my job to put the team in the best position to win.” Elliott is stepping out with a guy yet to make his collegiate debut in Mike Weber likely picking up a lot of the carries. Washington and Schutt’s void in the middle is being filled by players like Tracy Sprinkle and Donovan Munger, who had hardly ever gotten regular snaps until needed on an emergency basis in the Fiesta Bowl. And one Bosa is being replaced by another on the defensive line. So, a talent drop-off is to be expected. It has to be. It’s very possible that the Buckeyes won’t have the talent to be a contender for the playoff, or even for the Big Ten title. But that’s not to say that it won’t be the same old OSU team that has shown up since Meyer entered the program. The pride doesn’t come from the 50 wins Meyer has racked up in four years, a program record. It comes from the identities the coach has instilled in all of his
