USG looks at ways to Matta: B1G competition brings improve meal plans out best in coaches, players “All USG is looking to do is find ways to make (the meal plan) even better.”

- Leah Lacure

Vice president of USG

DYLAN WEAVER Lantern reporter weaver.699@osu.edu The meal plan system at Ohio State changed in 2012 when the school made the switch from quarters to semesters and now, if Undergraduate Student Government has its way, meal plans could change again.

The university’s 2012 revamped plan provided students with more transparency on what they spend by introducing a “block” system, because unlike the previous “swipe” system, students know how much each block is worth. A block — the term for OSU’s main method of currency at its Dining Services locations — represents a value of $5, but unlike a $5 bill, no change can be given.

And those blocks retain a greater value for what students over swipes.

In 2012, Dining Services offered 450- and 600-block plans that left many students scrambling to spend their unused blocks and ended up refunding students who had unused blocks $3 per block for Fall Semester, according to The Lantern archives.

“There were some great new aspects to the meal plan from the switch a few years ago,” said Leah Lacure, vice president of USG and a fourth-year in public affairs. “All USG is looking to do is find ways to make it even better.”

So far this year, USG has had monthly meetings with the senior administration at Dining Services.

“We know that students aren’t necessarily using all their blocks,” Lacure said. “We know that students are looking at somewhat inflated prices within certain aspects of Dining Services at OSU, especially at the C-stores.”

Connor Hooper, a USG spokesman and a third-year in public affairs, said USG price-indexing research has found products such as milk and bread at the C-stores are inflated by about 82 percent compared to

Performance reviews show inconsistencies LIZ YOUNG Editor-in-chief young.1693@osu.edu While Ohio State policy states all employees must receive a performance review annually, an OSU spokesman said in the spring that written reviews are one part of the process.

But inconsistencies when it comes to performance reviews were apparent in the employment files of some marching band and compliance office employees, one of whom received a bonus without a written review in his file.

OSU’s chief compliance officer received a $78,000 bonus this year without a written performance review. And Courtesy of OSU the employGates Garrity-Rokous ment file of the assistant band director under former marching band director Jonathan Waters didn’t include a performance review either, while the file of the associate band director did.

According to an OSU human resources performance review policy, “all employees must receive a performance review at least once a year.”

University spokesman Gary Lewis said during Spring Semester that written reviews are one component of evaluating employee performance at OSU. “Although it is required for all employees to receive reviews, performance management at Ohio State also involves a continuous

process of feedback and mentoring, which includes verbal and written reviews,” Lewis said in an email. “All elements of performance review, verbal and written, are key inputs in determining compensation.”

He said, though, because the university was in a period of transition between presidents, the performance review process was adjusted.

“This year’s process for performance reviews of senior leaders was one in transition. Because every senior leader participates in the ongoing, annual review process, all leaders expect to receive helpful coaching and feedback. The university remains committed to a constructive review process that helps us achieve our institutional goals and provides every employee with the tools to excel in his or her professional objectives,” he said.

Employment file of chief compliance officer Vice president and chief compliance officer Gates Garrity-Rokous earned a $397,800 base salary for fiscal year 2014 — which included a 2 percent raise.

He also received a 20 percent bonus, worth $78,000, according to his employment file, which was provided Tuesday after The Lantern requested it in mid-August. The page about his bonus in that file notes that his “target is 20 percent; max of 25 percent for achieving significant performance beyond established targets.”

He was hired in September 2012.

Garrity-Rokous deferred requests for comment to OSU

OSU men’s basketball coach Thad Matta in an Oct. 8 interview with The Lantern.

TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu The NCAA and Big Ten are undergoing major changes, and Thad Matta has taken notice even though he has just over a month to prepare his team for its season opener.

The Ohio State men’s basketball coach sat down with The Lantern on Wednesday to discuss his thoughts on paying players, the strength of Big Ten basketball and the upcoming Buckeye basketball season.

Players ‘given a lot,’ but still deserving When the Ed O’Bannon trial — which went up against the NCAA’s use of student-athlete likenesses — ended over the summer, one thing was clear: student-athletes will be paid in the future.

With the decision, players could earn up to $5,000 a year based off the athletic department’s income, which would be a significant change. But for Matta, “it is what it is.”

“I understand where the players come from, I think that it’s probably a good thing in terms of what these guys are asked to do,” Matta said of the potential for paying players.

He said student-athletes have different expectations that average students wouldn’t necessarily need to worry about, especially when it comes to start times for games running late at night.

“So these guys are asked to do a lot that … a normal student isn’t,” Matta said.

While student-athletes do not earn a salary or receive pay from their universities, most — especially at a Division I school like OSU — receive extensive financial aid and support, including coverage of the school’s tuition costs.

“Now, they’re given a lot, don’t get me wrong on that,” Matta said.

“But I think from the standpoint of trying to help these guys out a little bit, I’m all for it.”

The O’Bannon decision came just weeks before the Big Ten proposed changes to the NCAA that would include schools being required to cover the full cost of

www.thelantern.com attendance for student-athletes.

It would also require schools to guarantee scholarships for a full four years and allow players to return to the university later on to complete their degree if they leave school before graduating.

On Wednesday, the conference released a statement saying the decision to guarantee scholarships through degree completion had become official.

Matta said he’s found it amusing to hear about other schools announcing they would guarantee scholarships because “Ohio State’s being doing it for years.”

“I think that’s kind of the beauty of what this university stands for, where they want to take care of those that have given to the program,” Matta said. “I laughed when I saw schools announcing that and I’m reading it and I’m saying, ‘We’ve been doing this for 10 years and nobody ever knew about it.’”

‘Now they’re getting like college basketball’ In recent years, football in the Big Ten has not been at its peak.

The same can’t be said about basketball, and said he’s perfectly aware of how strong the conference is on the hardwood.

“It is what it is, and going into my 11th season now, the one thing I’ve learned about being in the Big Ten is there’s no game on your conference schedule that you look at and say, ‘I know we’re going to win this game,’” he said. “But I think that brings out the best in coaching. I think that brings out the best in your players.”

In most years, the teams playing for the NCAA football championship will have no losses, or at most, two.

In college basketball, that is rarely the case as the rankings flip-flop throughout the season and teams rise and fall.

Over the weekend, the landscape of college football took a shift when five of the top 10 teams in the Associated Press top

25 poll lost, making for an almost completely new set of teams slotting in at No. 2 through No. 5 — and Matta took notice.

“I thought it was funny Saturday when I looked at the college football scores, I said, ‘Ahh, now they’re getting like college basketball,’” Matta said. “When (five) of the top 10 teams lose, the competitiveness across the country is becoming what we deal with on a daily basis.”

He also said the strength of Big Ten basketball in the collegiate landscape is — at least in part — because of the locations of the schools in the conference compared to where the hotbeds for basketball are throughout the country.

“Some of the all-time greatest players are from the Midwest,” he said. “Well, that’s where the Big Ten’s located and I think that’s something a lot of people forget about.”

For OSU, being located in the Midwest can be a plus when it comes to recruiting, even in the Buckeyes’ own backyard.

There are currently four Ohio natives listed on the OSU’s men’s basketball roster — freshman forward Jae’Sean Tate, sophomore forward Marc Loving, freshman center David Bell and senior forward Jake Lorbach. Aside from Lorbach, each of those players were recruited by Matta to OSU from in the state, but the OSU coach said he doesn’t necessarily focus on recruiting Ohio players unless they are a good fit.

“Would I like to recruit inside 270 every year? Yeah, it would save my body a lot of wear and tear on travel,” Matta said. “But you have to go find the players that are going to fit the university, that are going to fit your system and are going to fit the needs that you have.”

OSU is scheduled to begin its season Nov. 14 against the University of MassachusettsLowell at the Schottenstein Center. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

OSU student remembered through kids’ coat charity CHELSEA SPEARS Multimedia editor spears.116@osu.edu Before the little girl went outside into the cold, her mom buttoned up the Minnie Mouse coat she was wearing, reached into the 4-yearold’s pocket to put on her gloves and instead pulled out a picture of a 21-year-old woman.

“Did you put this in your coat?” the mom asked her daughter.

“Yes, Mommy,” the girl answered. “I wanted to remember the girl who gave it to me,” Lisa Miller recalled.

It’s those kind of memories that remind Lisa Miller that a coat can make a difference in a child’s life.

campus Reviews from 1A spokesmen Gary Lewis and Chris Davey, who did not respond to the initial email that asked Garrity-Rokous for comment about his receiving a bonus without a written review in his employment file.

His file did not include a written performance review outside of a self-evaluation and goal-setting document. When asked where his review was, Lauren Lubow, director of the OSU public records office, said in an email Garrity-Rokous “had an oral review based on the self-evaluation and goal-setting document, so there are no additional records of his review.”

Davey said Tuesday evening that he will look into who conducted that oral review and when. He was still looking into those questions as of Wednesday evening.

The Lantern requested Garrity-Rokous’ file after former Title IX coordinator Andrea Goldblum said she took issue with the way some business in the compliance office was handled. She expressed those concerns after a new Title IX coordinator was hired, shortly before former marching band director Jonathan Waters was fired as a result of an OSU investigation conducted by the compliance office.

That investigation found the marching band contained a sexualized culture that the former director was either aware of or reasonably should have been aware of, and was led by one of Garrity-Rokous’ subordinates in the compliance office, Chris Glaros. The Lantern requested Glaros’ employment file Wednesday.

Goldblum’s formal complaint about gender and disability discrimination in the compliance office — obtained by The Lantern in late August — and its ensuing investigation in April found that there was insufficient evidence to support her claims.

The investigation did, however, find that Garrity-Rokous had asked subordinates to run errands for him and drive him to meetings. Those practices stopped after an employee told him they were inappropriate.

He also apologized.

That investigation report into Goldblum’s claims was not included within his employment file. Davey said Tuesday he would look into why it was left out and was still looking into that question as of Wednesday evening.

Employment files of associate, assistant band directors Christopher Hoch, the associate marching band director, was hired by OSU in July 2012, while Michael Smith, the assistant band director, was hired by the university in September 2012. But Smith’s employment

file did not contain any reviews, while Hoch’s contained a 2013-14 review conducted by Waters.

Those files were provided Tuesday after having been requested July 25.

Smith appears to have started as assistant director of the band in August 2013, when he earned a $50,000 salary, though the previous year he also worked with the band as a lecturer.

Hoch earned $60,000 in 2013, up from earning $45,000 as an assistant director the year before.

Waters’ review of Hoch was not particularly complimentary — Waters said Hoch “achieved expectations” (of five possible choices, “achieves expectations” is in the middle) in four of five categories and fell below expectations in the final category, leadership.

“I would like for Chris to be more collaborative with respect to halftime show duties. In the past, this activity has been more competitive than what I would like. In addition, I need for Chris to be more fully engaged and collaborative with all staff, including student staff,” Waters wrote in one category.

Waters also noted that Hoch had seemed resistant to the band using iPads, a practice implemented in part to save the band printing costs and one that helped lead to halftime shows that went viral.

Waters wrote that Hoch needed to take a “lead role” on the band’s efforts to “evolve and embrace innovation.”

“I suggest that Chris review his job description and attempt to operationalize each of the duties,” Waters wrote. “With the majority of the band staff being student employees, the organization needs its fulltime staff to be engaged in every element.”

Lubow said Tuesday after business hours that she was checking on why no reviews were included for Smith. She did not respond to a Wednesday email requesting an update.

Waters was fired July 24. Since his dismissal, Waters and his attorney have made multiple public appearances and submitted a letter asking OSU to consider rehiring him. President Michael Drake and the Board of Trustees, however, have declined to reconsider his case.

Waters announced Sept. 26 that he plans to sue the university for a minimum of $1 million in compensatory damages. He will also seek punitive damages, attorney fees and reinstatement. His lawsuit claims he was not given due process following the initial cultural investigation. It also says he was discriminated against on the basis of gender.

Coats from 1A Courtney was just seven weeks away from graduating with honors, Lisa Miller said.

“Our lives stopped on that day,” Lisa Miller said while choking back tears. “I still most days don’t believe that she’s gone.

The only thing I’ve gotten used to is living with the pain.”

But more than a year after her death, Courtney Miller is still warming hearts — hearts like that 4-year-old girl’s — through Courtney’s Coats for Kids.

Courtney’s Coats for Kids is a nonprofit organization that raises money to buy coats for underprivileged children in Courtney’s hometown of Niles, Ohio.

The nonprofit is now entering its second season of operation.

Lisa Miller started the organization in fall 2013 — about six months after Courtney Miller’s death — in honor of her daughter.

Lisa Miller said Courtney Miller was going to be a teacher. She would often call her mom crying about children she’d met in the classroom who didn’t have basic necessities or even simple things like proper clothing or pencils.

When Courtney Miller died, Lisa Miller said their family received a lot of money, so she opened up a fund in her daughter’s name. Lisa Miller said she thought a lot about what to do with that money.

It was when she was sitting in the cemetery — thinking about conversations she’d had with her daughter — that Lisa Miller thought of the idea for Courtney’s Coats for Kids.

“I wanted to make it as special as Courtney was,” Lisa Miller said.

And Lisa Miller does everything she can to make it special. She makes sure each coat is hand picked for every child. Lisa Miller sends a letter home to the parents asking for the child’s three favorite characters or sports as well as their three favorite colors.

“They’re picked with love and they’re picked with thought,” Lisa Miller said. “If a little girl wants a Disney ‘Frozen’ coat, we do our best to get her a Disney ‘Frozen’ coat.”

To determine the children who are in the greatest need of coats, Lisa Miller sends letters to teachers asking them to choose the children they feel most need a coat. Lisa then sends letters home to the parents explaining Courtney’s Coats for Kids.

Once purchased, Lisa Miller has someone sew a heart once doodled

by Courtney Miller into each and every coat. She also includes a notecard with a picture of Courtney Miller and the organization’s logo.

“We make it a present for the children,” Lisa said. “I had a teacher tell me the kids come in so excited saying, ‘I have a Courtney’s Coat! I have a Courtney’s Coat!’”

Donna Shields, educational coordinator at Trumbull Community Action Program Head Start , said it’s an emotional experience for all involved.

“It’s so amazing. It made me cry last year,” Shields said. “(The families) were so touched when they received the coats.

Everything matched and it was perfect.”

Last year, Courtney’s Coats for Kids bought and donated 39 coats to the Niles community.

Only halfway into the fall season this year, Courtney’s Coats for Kids has already bought 60 coats that are ready to be distributed, Lisa Miller said. Lisa Miller’s goal is to buy a total of 148 coats this year.

Each coat costs about $50, and the money for each coat is raised through fundraising efforts, Lisa Miller’s friend Vickie Glass said.

Glass is helping organize a fundraising auction to be held Nov. 1 and said the support from the community has been overwhelming.

“Everyone that we have contacted has just been so receptive. Everyone,” Glass said. “Just when we think everything is done, another fantastic auction item comes. We keep saying there’s an angel on our shoulder because it’s just been amazing.”

And the support from the community is obvious to Lisa Miller, too.

“I was so unsure about (the program) at first but when I started to hear the stories about how a nice, new warm coat could affect a child’s life, I knew this is exactly what we should be doing to honor Courtney,” Lisa said. “A coat does make a difference.”

Lisa said she hopes the program continues for years, saying, “We want to keep as many children warm as we can.”

While Courtney’s Coats for Kids has already made a difference for many children and their parents, it also means a lot for Courtney’s family, Lisa Miller said.

“As her mom, I took care of Courtney her whole life. When she passed away, it left a void. No more taking care of her, no more visits, no more grocery shopping, no more going down and doing her laundry,” Lisa Miller said. “Courtney’s Coats is my way of still taking care of her.”

by about 82 percent compared to off-campus locations such as Kroger or Walmart.

USG is also looking at how to handle the issue of unused blocks, Hooper said. “(Blocks are) very inflexible for students,” he said. “On average, our research has shown that students only used $4.45 of a $5 block.

Prices for these packages are either $2,575 or $1,850 per semester. Other meal plans focus on number of blocks and are either $1,895 for 350 blocks and $150 in BuckID cash, or $2,358 for 450 blocks and $150 in BuckID cash. There are also plans that cost either $1,850 or $2,165 for weekly allotments of 20 or 25 blocks.

Before the semester conversion, OSU’s meal plans consisted of five swipe options ranging from $1,225 to $1,745, Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said in an email. All those meal plans put $100 on a student’s BuckID and allowed for number of swipes starting at 250. Lesser plans descended by 50 swipes to the lowest plan, which included 100 swipes. There was one plan that provided 19 weekly swipes for $1,125. That might seem cheaper at first, but students would have been paying that three times a year rather than two because of the quarter system.

Still, USG is aiming to figure out how to eliminate the issue of wasted blocks at the end of the semester and, if possible, find a way to allow blocks to roll over to the next semester.

That plan will need to satisfy all parties involved — from students to Dining Services, Lacure said.

“The biggest thing that we face at OSU is we are not only one of the largest universities around, but we are also one of a kind,” Lacure said. “We need to look at things that fit our culture and what our students want. We need to address what works best for Ohio State.”

USG is in the process of researching and benchmarking

plans from other schools from which OSU could draw inspiration. USG has looked into meal plans at other Big Ten schools such as Rutgers University, University of Michigan, Penn State University and the University of Wisconsin. USG has also looked at schools that have a dwindling balance meal plan, which are plans that give students a total dollar amount at the start of a semester with the balance working the way cash already does on BuckIDs. Cash on BuckIDs doesn’t expire after a given semester — it instead rolls over. And if students don’t use all the cash on their BuckIDs before they graduate, they can ask for a refund.

Neither Hooper nor Isaacs would comment about how these coming changes might affect the budget of OSU’s Dining Services.

Lacure and Hooper, however, gave examples of Dining Services working alongside USG to make changes, including adding a to-go option at Sloopy’s Diner last year.

“What it really boils down to is USG going and looking at what our students want,” Lacure said. “Then as we address what they want, we do the research we are doing now so we can show Dining Services solutions to students’ concerns under the current plans.”

Lacure said a best case scenario would include USG and Dining Services working together by next year to start implementing small changes that would begin to lighten the burden OSU freshmen have their first year trying to manage the block system.

Hooper said students will be able to voice their concerns at several town hall meetings about the topic. The meetings will be scheduled at a later date, he said.

Some students said they are feeling pressure to use all their blocks.

“I have only been here for seven weeks and I already have no idea how I will spend all 350 blocks,” said Rachel Webber, a first-year in pre-nursing. “I know at the end of the semester students buy stuff they don’t need, but I would much rather have another alternative.”

Webber said she had bought an apple and banana at Marketplace on Wednesday to make up for the money she would have lost by spending more than one $5 block but not quite $10 to make two blocks.

“It is really frustrating with pricing because I am always spending under the full block amount, or over it,” Webber said.

“I would much rather just have a BuckID that carries cash, because then even if prices are still a little high I don’t feel like I am losing money.”

Still, Lacure said she’s confident changes will come.

“The great thing we have at OSU is an administration that listens and is open to change,” Lacure said. “I don’t think anybody is getting rich off the plan we have now. It is just a matter of looking at the small things we can do to make it better.”

Meyer: ‘I don’t think these kids care’ about rankings james grega, jr.

Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu In college football, anything is possible.

The phrase “any given Saturday,” while cliché, rang true last week as a handful of ranked teams fell to lower-ranked or unranked opponents.

With that being said, the No. 15 Ohio State football team is sitting in an interesting position.

If the bricks fall in the right way, the Buckeyes could have a long-shot chance at making it in to the first ever College Football Playoff, something OSU coach Urban Meyer said he addressed with his team.

“We do that every year this time of year and I just show the rankings and I show the teams … they are going to hear it and I don’t want them to hear much about it at all after our conversation,” Meyer said Wednesday. “When you look at it, everything is wide open. College football, this is a pretty open year.”

OSU junior offensive lineman Jacoby Boren said no matter where the Buckeyes rank nationally, the mindset remains the same.

“I think guys know (where we stand). Stuff got pretty crazy last weekend, but I think our attitude — we just try to go out and get better every week and we can only control what we can control,” Boren said. “We are going to go out, try and win every game, win a Big Ten championship and then after that we will see how things stack up and hopefully it will work out for us.”

Meyer added that even though he held a team meeting regarding the issue, he does not want it blown out of proportion.

“I don’t want to make it bigger than it is. We talk about it briefly, and we move on. I don’t think these kids care,” Meyer said. “I am hoping that they just want to get better and the

thing we are most concerned about is we had momentum and it’s been taken away so we have to keep that momentum somehow.”

That momentum the Buckeyes carried was because of back-to-back games in which the offense produced more than 1,200 yards combined — including 710 against Cincinnati, eight yards short of a school record.

Boren said Wednesday that the offensive surge is because of the experience that the Buckeyes gain with each week.

“I think we have grown a lot the past few weeks. We started off a little bit slow, but we started to get a little bit of momentum and we have definitely grown the past few weeks and we are still nowhere near where we need to be,” he said. “We just have to keep growing.”

Meyer said he is concerned about continuing to grow throughout the course of the team’s second bye week in a month.

“The first one I think came at the right time. You could see we played pretty well afterwards. This one, I don’t know,” Meyer said. “All I know is it remains to be seen. It is uncomfortable to be honest with you. I am not used to the two (bye weeks) in the first six, seven weeks in the season. I always do research and this has never happened to us before. I don’t want to be paranoid, but I am.”

OSU senior defensive lineman Steve Miller didn’t seem as worried as Meyer, as he said Wednesday that while the timing of the bye week has been awkward for him, it provides opportunities for other players.

“I say it’s been strange, because it’s real early. And we really aren’t that really banged up yet, so it really isn’t that bad to be taking a break,” Miller said. “It’s been more laid-back for this break. Just trying to get some of the young guys ready.”

The Buckeyes are scheduled to return from their bye week Oct. 18 to host Rutgers at Ohio Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Bye week a chance to develop young players, take time off tim moody Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu Life doesn’t stop for Ohio State football players when they get a week off, but it certainly slows down — especially for the upperclassmen.

Coming off a 52-24 win against Maryland on Saturday, the Buckeyes have a week off before returning to the field at Ohio Stadium on Oct. 18. Coach Urban Meyer said he is taking the week to give some younger players heavier reps, while lightening the workload for experienced starters.

“This (week) I am getting (freshman defensive lineman) Jalyn Holmes a million reps right now and some of the players have to get ready to go,” Meyer said Wednesday.

“Some of them though — (senior defensive lineman Michael) Bennett, we have pulled off of him a little bit.”

Along with Bennett, Meyer said sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa is getting fewer game-style reps in practice this week.

Senior defensive lineman Steve Miller said the week off has been less intense than the Buckeyes’ first bye week of the season, and added it’s been a good chance to make sure some young players get the practice time they need.

“It’s been more laid-back for this break,” Miller said Wednesday. “Just trying to get some of the young guys ready.”

While the week off doesn’t mean the players can shut it down quite yet, the upcoming weekend without a game gives them a chance to get away.

“We don’t practice on Sunday night because I want them to get out of here,” Meyer said. “(Freshman linebacker) Raekwon McMillan I know is going home to see his mom. He has earned that right to go do that.”

McMillan played his high school football in Hinesville, Ga. But if players choose not to head home, Meyer said he wants them to keep football on their mind.

“It is our second weekend (off). Some guys aren’t (going home) so maybe they will be over to coaches’ houses on Saturday and we are going to finalize plans,” he said. “I want them somewhere, if they are not going home, I want them around a coach.”

Miller said he’ll likely be on the list of players who don’t have to spend their weekend with one of the OSU coaches.

Senior wide receiver Devin Smith (9) and redshirt-junior wide receiver Corey Smith (84) celebrate during OSU’s 52-24 win against Maryland on Oct. 4 in College Park, Md.

New Crew Members of the Columbus Crew helped unveil the team’s new crest at an Oct. 8 ceremony at the LC Pavilion. The crest, having been teased around Columbus and across social media for months with the hashtag #NewCrew is the first major rebranding effort for the MLS team since its inaugural season in 1996. The circular shape of the crest nods toward Columbus’ German heritage and status as Ohio’s captial.

Additionally, the “96” crest, diagonal stripes and checkerboard pattern pay homage to the team’s founding year, its inclusion in original 10 MLS charter clubs and Crew fans, respectively.

5 storylines to watch during Buckeyes’ week off james grega, jr.

Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu

since the Rich Rodriguez era. Rodriguez was ousted from Michigan after just three seasons in which the Wolverines made just one bowl appearance.

After the team’s loss to Rutgers in its last game, Ann Arbor, Mich., is ready to implode.

All is not lost for the Maize and Blue, however. The Wolverines are scheduled to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday at home under the lights. If there is anything that can give a program hope for the future, it’s a win during a night game at home (see: OSU vs. Wisconsin in 2011).

The Nittany Lions are coming off a bye week, one that came a week after they were embarrassed at home by Northwestern, 29-6.

If there was ever a time for Michigan to turn around its season, this weekend’s game is the opportunity it has been waiting for.

Following games against Cincinnati and Maryland in which the Buckeyes combined for more than 1,200 yards, they are facing what could be their biggest opponent yet: another bye week.

After seeming to hit their stride both offensively and defensively, the Buckeyes will be left watching from the couch Saturday for the second time in a month.

But even though OSU will not take the field this week, I compiled a list of things you should look for around the college football landscape.

1. Could this week be the most exciting week in 2014 for college football?

During the Buckeye bye week, there are five matchups scheduled that will pit ranked opponents against each other, with two of those games involving top-five teams.

Those matchups feature No. 5 Baylor against No. 9 Texas Christian and No. 2 Auburn against No. 3 Mississippi State.

Both games are battles of unbeaten teams and will no doubt make or break each team’s season, as well as their dreams of making it into the first ever College Football Playoff.

So if the Buckeyes get bored just sitting around, all they will have to do is flip on the TV and enjoy.

Going into its seventh week, the college football season has yet to provide us with a clear, dominant team, despite what the polls may have us believe.

The defending national champion Florida State Seminoles are still undefeated and remain atop most polls, however they have not impressed like they did a year ago.

sports OSU men’s soccer falls to unranked Oakland on road ryan cooper Lantern reporter cooper.487@osu.edu Coming off two wins against ranked teams, the Ohio State men’s soccer team’s focus was to not fall into a trap against a supposedly weaker squad.

“If your aspirations are to go farther and compete maybe for a Big Ten championship or hopefully gain an NCAA Tournament bid, if

you believe you can do that, you cannot let down against a team like Oakland,” OSU coach John Bluem said Monday.

Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, a let down is exactly what happened.

OSU (4-4-3, 2-1-0) fell to Oakland (3-5-1) in Rochester, Mich., by a final score of 1-0 Wednesday evening.

The Grizzlies struck in the first half when senior forward Joey Tinnion received a pass off a

Bye week from 9A “I’m gonna probably go home, probably see my family and rest up,” Miller, a Canton, Ohio, native, said.

Even though he gets a chance to spend some extra time with his family, Miller said the bye week doesn’t necessarily come at a good time for the Buckeyes.

“It’s been strange, because it’s real early,” he said. “And we really aren’t that banged up yet, so it really (isn’t) that bad to be taking a break.”

OSU’s first bye week came after a 66-0 win against Kent State in its third game of the season. That win shifted the team’s momentum after a 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech the week before. Coming out of that week off, the Buckeyes’ offense posted 710 yards against Cincinnati before routing the Terrapins for a third consecutive win.

Meyer said that first week off “came at the

misplay by OSU and put it past OSU redshirt-senior goalkeeper Alex Ivanov for the game’s lone score. The goal was Tinnion’s second of the season.

The Buckeyes had their chances throughout the game, but were unable to get anything on the board.

OSU took 12 shots, but only two of those were shot on goal.

Overall, Oakland outshot OSU, 13-12, including a 4-2 advantage in shots on the mark.

right time,” but added he doesn’t have the same feelings this time around.

“You could see we played pretty well afterwards,” he said. “This one, I don’t know. All I know is it remains to be seen. It is uncomfortable to be honest with you.”

Meyer said he has looked at past years, and there hasn’t been a time one of his teams has had two bye weeks so early in the season.

While his coach isn’t quite excited to be taking a break, junior offensive lineman Jacoby Boren said it hasn’t been all negative.

Boren said he and others on the team have been fighting through minor injuries, so a week off can help them get healthy.

“I think it’s working right now, and we’ll see how everything else works out,” he said.

After the week off, the Buckeyes are scheduled to face Rutgers on Oct. 18 at Ohio Stadium to cap off homecoming week. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.

Brutus joins members of the OSU football team to sing ‘Carmen Ohio’ after the Buckeyes’ 52-24 win against Maryland on Oct. 4 in College Park, Md.

OSU’s slow day on offense came days after a six-shot-ontarget, three-goal game against Michigan State last Saturday.

Oakland has now won three straight games after beginning the season with five consecutive losses and a draw.

The loss was the first for the Buckeyes against the Grizzlies in 14 all-time meetings. OSU was previously 11-0-2 in the series, including a 4-0 victory in Columbus last season.

Before the game, OSU had found itself at No. 13 in the NCAA RPI rankings on top of receiving four votes in the coaches poll coming off its two wins against ranked opponents.

The Buckeyes’ next shot to get back to their winning ways is set to come at home when they host No. 10 Indiana on Sunday. That game is scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

5 Storylines from 9A nearly a full half of football to start scoring against the lowly Wake Forest Demon Deacons before pulling away late to win, 43-3.

In addition, the Seminoles have played just one ranked team on the season, and are currently set to play just one more ranked foe for the remainder of the season against Notre Dame.

With that said, this leaves the door open for teams like Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Baylor and many others to make their mark on the college football world.

4. The Big Ten as a whole is a mustmiss this week.

Aside from the Michigan-Penn State matchup, you might want to stay away from watching Big Ten football this weekend.

With OSU on an off week, the only ranked Big Ten team in action, No. 8 Michigan State, is set to take on conference bottom-dweller Purdue.

Not exactly the most riveting game.

However, if matchups such as Northwestern against Minnesota or Indiana against Iowa pique your interest, I encourage you to tune in (at your own risk).

5. Will two early bye weeks end up hurting the Buckeyes in the long run?

How could they not?

Any time two bye weeks are scheduled within a month, it could very well lead to players, and even coaches, becoming lackadaisical.

While OSU coach Urban Meyer said he will not allow this to happen, one has to wonder what the Buckeyes’ mindset will be like going into their Oct. 18 matchup with Rutgers.

Coach Urban Meyer looks on during a game against Maryland on Oct. 4 in College Park, Md. OSU won, 52-24.

And even if they come out firing on all cylinders and bring down the Scarlet Knights, a straight stretch of games from Oct. 18 through Nov. 29 could mean players missing time because of injury. Injuries are part of the game, there is no denying that, but not having time to heal from these injuries could prove crucial for the Buckeyes.

We will find out as the season presses on.

OSU’s matchup with Rutgers is set to kickoff at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Ohio Stadium.

opinion Same-sex marriage decision represents step forward LINDSEY OATES Lantern reporter oates.57@osu.edu On Monday in the early afternoon, the Supreme Court of the United States took a prominent step forward in the fight for social change in same-sex marriages. They denied all marriage appeals for petitions in seven different cases, which means that same-sex marriage is now a right of citizens in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin, bringing the total number of states where same-sex marriages are legal to 24.

This decision is not only a huge step forward for social justice, but a major mark on our history.

With these changes and with the upcoming rise of appeals still to be determined by the court, it is said that soon our nation could have 30 states that allow same-sex marriages. However, I think it’s important to remember when these stories come up that this is not an issue of right and left. It’s an issue of right and wrong. We must not forget that.

Just stay with me here — I know that is a bold statement.

But I believe it to be true with all of my heart and mind.

“These court decisions affirmed the beliefs and opinions of so many in the world about the right to love, to have legal standing with your partner, and the right to equality.”

Rev. Suzelle Lynch marries Karen Wells, right, and Kristie Erickson in a ceremony outside the Waukesha County Courthouse on June 9 in Waukesha, Wisc.

History tells us stories about the kind of justice we have received in this country. People fighting for social causes they believe in, and ultimately succeeding not because they are persuasive, but because their ideas are too sound and rooted in basic human nature to be ignored. In the end, if you are reading this, and still think in the back of your mind that same-sex marriages are unlawful and unjust, then I challenge you to think outside of the framework of religion or ritual, and think beyond, to basic happiness.

We are now in the middle of a revolution, one that is becoming all too quickly another page in a history book. What side of history do you want to be on?

I think it will be interesting, when we look back on our lives, to see these kinds of changes that happened right on the brink of our society. As young people, we are challenged every day to take a stand for the things we believe in and to ultimately solidify our own opinions. These court decisions affirmed the beliefs and opinions of so many in the world about the right to love, to have legal standing with your partner, and the right to equality.

When I think about my life in the coming years, I can’t say I know where it will take me.

I can’t say that I’ll be married myself, or that those that I love who struggle with adversity will want to marry either. But what I can say is that with the way things are going, the next years of my life will be equal to the years of those I care deeply for. We will all, hopefully, have the choice of being defended by our own nation. We will all, hopefully, be able to live a life of love without malice. We will all, probably, be on level ground. And that “probably” is a possibility that seemed impossible years ago.

When the generation of ours, the 20-something-year-old educated college students, grow older and wiser, what a story we will have. I will tell of the time I woke up, read the news on Twitter of a SCOTUS decision on marriage equality, and sought out to write about it. I will recall feeling noticed by my society, and not ignored. Frankly, this recent news of same-sex marriage thrills and invigorates me more than any other step forward has. It’s a stride toward a change of perspective of all people, and it’s a step toward a nation free from barriers on equality.

And with each extra stride we find a new kind of pace. However slow or fast that pace might be, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s full speed ahead. I can’t wait until we are all aboard.

One OSU student has borne the standard of this resurgence of Hempfest.

“Nobody took initiative to recontinue the event,” said Derek Koenig, president of For a Better Ohio, the student organization that organized the event this year.

Koenig, a fourth-year in public affairs and political science, said he Some Ohio wanted to bring back Hempfest as a State students’ enthuway of giving back to the university and siasm for cannibis is leaving behind something meaningful. set to bud up Saturday, “It would be an awesome first college when the Ohio Hempfest experience (to) see activism at its finest,” returns to the grass of the South Koenig said.

He said that he hopes about 5,000 The free music festival is slated people will come to Hempfest, but to last from noon until midnight, doesn’t expect to see a significant drop in with 16 musical performances at attendance from previous years because of the Browning Amphitheater over the excitement that was being generated on the course of the day, as well as social media and with past participants.

15 pro-hemp speakers and “The largest Hempfest boosted five 16 vendors, including one stages, and as many as 15,000 (estimated) selling food and several passing through throughout the day,” a selling hemp-related Hempfest press release said.

“The event is more straying away from marijuana itself, and raising awareness of what hemp can do,” Koenig said. Among other things, his group notes the plant’s use for clothing, paper and rope as reasons for its legalization.

As organizer of the event, Koenig said that he wants to make sure that people follow the rules of OSU and said there will be an University Police presence.

Alfredo Weeks, one of the vendors who will be selling incense, pipes and other items at Hempfest, also noted the event isn’t just an excuse to get high on campus.

“Bitches, get your fierce on.”

It was a phrase I read on a half-page ad featured in the latest issue of Outlook magazine, a Columbus publication with a heavy lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender focus. The advertisement was put out by the Short North Alliance in order to draw attention for the annual HighBall Halloween festival, a Short North tradition.

While seeing the word “bitches” splattered across a glossy magazine page certainly grabbed my attention, I didn’t find it alarming or offensive. In fact, the advertisement was indisputably referring to me (the reader) as a bitch, and I was perfectly OK with it. I didn’t rush to tweet about the indignity, I didn’t write a letter to the editor and I didn’t whip out my iPhone to call my mom.

Instead, I laughed. “Huh,” I thought.

“That’s funny. Maybe I will go to the festival. Maybe I will go ‘get my fierce on.’”

Admittedly, I didn’t sit down with a magnifying glass and double-shot of espresso to analyze the political correctness of the promotion. I read the advertisement, chuckled, considered going to the event and moved on. I thought that was what you were supposed to do with advertisements. Apparently, I was wrong, because people who have way more time than I do decided to pick a few bones with this deliciously sassy statement.

Elizabeth Lessner, a prominent Columbus restaurateur, has already taken to shaming the ad, claiming that it “appropriates outdated gay male stereotypes and offends all women.”

‘Project Runway’ alum, local designers to make it work on CMH runways

KAT NIU Lantern reporter niu.57@osu.edu From a high fashion afternoon tea inspired by the Prêt-à-Portea in The Berkeley in London to a runway bridal show, this year’s CMH Fashion Week offers events that highlight local fashion talents.

Those talents are something Thomas McClure has been trying to cultivate for almost a decade.

When McClure, the founder and executive director of CMH Fashion Week, moved to Columbus from Dallas in 2006, he said he saw potential for growth in the city’s style and fashion scene.

“When I first moved here, all I saw was people in sweats,” McClure said. “Columbus was and is a football city. If you look at the progression from 2006 to 2014, we have come a long way and I think CMH Fashion Week has helped lead that fashion culture.”

McClure founded CMH Fashion Week in 2010, known then as Fashion Week Columbus. In two years, the nonprofit organization structured an executive board, as well as a new mission statement and name. “(CMH) is our airport code. We are Columbus and we are a little bit quirky which is awesome, so why not call it CMH Fashion Week?” McClure asked.

CMH Fashion Week focuses on showcasing local and emerging designers and provides scholarships to students studying fashion design, according to its website.

This year, the fashion show is set to headline

Thursday October 9, 2014

“Project Runway” season six contestant Althea Harper, who attended the University of Cincinnati School of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. According to the CMH Fashion Week website, Harper’s work experience include affiliations with designers including Zac Posen, Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood. Her celebrity fans include Heidi Klum, Kerry Washington and the Kardashians, the website said.

Harper is slated to headline the finale runway show on Oct. 18 and participate in a meet and greet Q&A session on Wendesday called Philanthropy Meets Fashion.

“This is such a great event, I would love for OSU fashion students to be a part of it,” McClure said. “I remember last year, Nary Manivong did the same event. The young designers learned so much — he told his story and inspired young designers to keep going and have a great attitude and a humble attitude.”

Designer and Columbus native Rachel Chertoff is also set to showcase her line, named Years of Refinery, during the finale show. She said her line is inspired by the successes and failures in her past year after moving to Columbus from Buffalo, N.Y. “My designs are personal experiences, things that I have throughout my life,” Chertoff said. “It can be a milestone in my life or just one day. (Years of Refinery) is my way of telling that story through my designs.”

Chertoff said she deliberately designs imperfections into her clothes, like different yarn gauges, to portray emotions such as distress.

Her skills in sewing, knitting, construction and visual composition ties her collection together.

“You’ll see (cohesiveness) based on

Courtesy of Lubna Designs, photo by Katya Grishanova

silhouettes, color schemes and details in each look,” she said. “I try to make sure those details can be seen so that people can tell it’s a cohesive collection.”

Designer Lubna Najjar focuses more on trends rather than emotional connections when making her designs. Najjar is also slated to showcase her work in the finale show, and will have a collection in the bridal runway show.

Her bridal collection, named Beyond Bridal , covers looks for bridal events that range from bridal showers to reception gowns.

“Beyond Bridal is just what my collection is,” Najjar said. “It’s not just a bridal gown. Everything in the collection is anywhere between all the dresses that lead up to the wedding, so it’s not just a bridal gown.”

Najjar’s collection for the finale show, named Ipanema, features trendready designs that are feminine and made to make a woman feel beautiful, she said.

The name Ipanema draws inspiration from a Brazilian song, originally recorded by Stan Getz and João Gilberto, named “The

] Hemp from 13A “Just try to come and be as responsible and respectful as possible.”

Koenig said that Buckeye Event Network allowed the selling of glass pipes at the Hempfest.

Buckeye Event Network is a branch of the Office of Student Life that helps student organizations use outdoor space on campus, according to its website.

That organization’s decision evoked reaction from some students.

“If they’re pushing for tobacco free, they shouldn’t be selling tobacco products on campus,” said Emily Chucta, a second-year in animal science.

Dr. Peter Shields, deputy director of the James Comprehensive Cancer Center and chair of OSU’s Tobacco Free Initiative, released a statement addressing that perceived discrepancy.

“Ohio State remains committed to a tobacco free policy that supports a healthy environment for all members of Buckeye Nation. This is a relatively new policy, instituted in January of this year, and we are constantly reviewing the policy and our interpretations of it to inform decisions going forward. As with any new policy that affects every member of our university and community, there are areas identified in real-time that were not previously anticipated, and we continuously work to address issues prospectively that are consistent with our goals of a tobacco-free campus,” Dr. Peter Shields, deputy director of the James Comprehensive Cancer Center, said in an email.

The level of student interest in Hempfest might be mixed based on what some students said.

CMH from 13A Girl from Ipanema.” Ipanema is a fashionable neighborhood located in Rio de Janeiro.

“It is a song about a really exotic girl who’s really beautiful and a lot of people don’t know where she’s from. She has her own little look and she kind of captivates everyone who looks at her,” Najjar said.

She said she is inspired by history and culture, and not necessarily by trends. “I try to be trendfriendly, but really, I don’t really care about what everybody else is saying is trendy,” she said.

This year, CMH Fashion Week is pairing with the Human Rights Campaign, Columbus Federal Club and Wall Street Night Club for a special show featuring drag fashion.

McClure said this is a new market that the fashion week hasn’t ever touched before.

“No one ever thinks ‘Hey, there’s a whole

Chucta said that she would be interested in going to Hempfest, but has prior commitments.

“I feel like there’s so many different people here that even if it’s something strange, people will want to try it,” Chucta said.

“I don’t have any interest in this event at all,” said Duncan McKennie, a third-year in international business and finance. He said he was not interested in it because he is not a smoker.

Koenig said that For a Better Ohio has spent roughly $2,000 putting together Hempfest, including money spent on portable toilets, sound equipment for the musicians and promoting Hempfest.

In the past, there have been more complex issues in setting up Hempfest.

In 2004, the Students for Sensible Drug Policy challenged the university for their right to continue holding Hempfest.

The case was taken to a U.S. district court, and was decided in favor of the students.

“I think there was a certain arrogance that nobody sues Ohio State and Columbus and wins,” said Bob Fitrakis, the attorney who represented Students for Sensible Drug Policy in the court case.

Fitrakis said the university discovered that the 2004 Hempfest would coincide with parent’s weekend at OSU and wanted to cancel it in order to avoid offending parents. They then tried to cancel it because Students for Sensible Drug Policy did not have the correct paperwork for hosting the event, he said.

He said the university had left a trail of public record emails that led him to this discovery.

Whether it’s called hemp or cannabis or marijuana, the plant’s popularity was enough for OSU students to revive the festival.

“This is a plant that’s been here and is going to be here long after we’re gone,” Weeks said.

population of performers who need clothes and custom-made outfits that not only fit them but are adorable,’” he said.

Because of the high physical demands of drag performances, the costumes need to be practical and appealing, he said. The drag show, hosted by Helena Troy of The Glamazons, will be showcasing drag fashions as well as CMH Fashion Week and Human Rights Campaign shirts.

“Every year we aim to make the experience better, bigger, and bolder than the year before,” McClure said.

Each event at CMH Fashion Week is located at different venues and dates between Oct. 12-18. Event ticket prices range from free to up to $1,500 for four box-seats.

B-Word from 13A un-offended gay man, I feel the need to frankly toss out a “Bitch, please.”

I understand that the word “bitch” has been used as a derogatory term for women . I understand that, at one time, calling someone a “bitch” was a way to demean or belittle their character. But it is 2014. And in 2014, we call our friends “bitches.” We call random strangers “bitches.” Some of us even call our moms “bitches.” Heck, Britney Spears sang a song about the word, telling anybody with big dreams for the future that they “better work, bitch.”

My point is, “bitch” has evolved into something that is only scarcely reminiscent of a pejorative. It’s as often used as a term of endearment or solidarity as it is as an insult. So when I hear “Bitches, get your fierce on,” I smile. The ad isn’t calling me a bitch as an insult. The ad is calling me a bitch because I am some sort of fellow fierce diva — because I am a friend.

Lessner doesn’t see it that way.

Lessner doesn’t see it that way at all.

In order to further explain her disapproval for the statement, the restaurateur took to her blog with a post titled: “Columbus’ Most Celebrated Gayborhood Takes an Unfortunate Turn.”

First of all, I find the word “gayborhood” in this context equally — if not more — offensive than the word “bitches.” But for the sake of keeping my hands clean, I’ll gloss over that particular injustice and focus on another, more interesting term used by Lessner: “unfortunate turn.”

What does that even mean, “an unfortunate turn?” This isn’t a localized Ebola outbreak. This isn’t some sort of mass crime spree or a Westboro Baptist Church picketing event. It’s a silly ad. It’s a silly ad that was published in a magazine known for its crass humor, and it was never meant to be taken seriously.

What I find truly unfortunate is that Betsy Pandora, executive director of the Short North Alliance, felt the need to apologize for the advertisement.

“This publication has pushed the envelope before,” she told The Columbus Dispatch, “and we wanted to push the envelope with the ad …

With all the chatter out there, we’ve learned that we’ve probably pushed the envelope too far. I can see how, if

taken out of context (of the magazine), it could be seen as offensive.”

We live in a society that trains its people to avoid stepping on any toes. We are told that we must be 100 percent politically correct, 100 percent of the time. We are told that offending a group of people, any group of people, is a cardinal sin that must never go unpunished.

And I just think that’s silly. We live in a world where Taylor Swift isn’t allowed to dance alongside a line of partially black fly girls without being labelled as a racist and Beyoncé is criticized because she isn’t “feminist enough.”

I have to wonder if this hypercorrect way of thinking is really having the positive effect that its proponents expect. People are always going to make offensive comments, and people are always going to take offense. So is it the responsibility of the offender to bite his tongue and refrain from speaking his mind? Or is it the responsibility of the offended person to develop a thicker skin, brush off the comments with a smile, and move on?

Personally, I’m going to support the latter. Rather than teaching one another why we should be offended, I think we could better spend our time teaching one another how not to be offended.

There exists a type of people in our society that considers itself a sort of “politically correct elite,” a term of my own creation. These people are the ones who share BuzzFeed articles and Facebook posts with titles like: “10 Reasons Why You Should Be Offended by ___.” These are the people who have turned hypersensitivity into a science. And it makes me sick. If I’m not offended by something, why should anybody have the right to tell me to think otherwise?

The intention behind this sort of politically-correct-vigilante behavior is nothing short of good. I believe that Lessner meant no harm when she criticized the advertisement, and I do not mean to scold her. I should also be clear that I am not advocating outright offensive behavior, but it’s simply true that some points are more easily made at the risk of potentially hurting the feelings of others.
