T
he Research Commons Workshop Series, which is provided through the University Libraries, will now have a centralized location called the Research Commons on the third floor of the 18th Avenue Library. Construction began Aug. 10, and the third floor will be closed for the entirety of the fall semester. “One of the things that we are trying to do with the space is make it a focal point of research support on campus,” said Joshua Sadvari, Research Commons program manager and geographic information systems specialist. “We will bring our partners in to hold
consultation hours so if researchers have questions, they can see the Research Commons as sort of a first line of support.” Sadvari said the Research Commons will be a “hub for collaborative and interdisciplinary research on campus,” as well as a research-intensive space for researchers to network with each other and to participate in the research lifecycle: planning, conducting and publishing research, as well as increasing the impact of research. “We want to make this a place where people can get their questions answered,” Sadvari said. “It is going to be a place where researchers can come to get work done but also to see this as a point of connection.” At a large university like Ohio State, the research operations and resources can be spread across campus. The creation of the research
center shows that the libraries are attempting to pull all of these resources together, said Larry Allen, the communications and marketing manager of University Libraries. “This is something that (University Libraries) have talked about and looked at for a while,” Allen said. “Josh’s unit will essentially provide a starting point and a way to take advantage of all the different resources here on campus that are related to research.” The hub will be similar to a library, but will provide more available activities that will make it more than just another open study area. It will allow researchers to attend workshops, present research in the showcasing area, conduct research in private study rooms, study in the small computer lab and use “software that might not be as readily accessible on 18TH AVE CONTINUES ON 2
Ohio State has a new political organization on the map. No Labels, an organization which aims to blur the lines of party affiliation and assess issues individually for “focused problem solving,” particularly in American politics, had its first meeting on Friday at the Ohio Union. Pat Lipaj, a fourth-year in political science and economics, and Jay Jackson, a fourth-year in neuroscience and French, are piloting the new political organization. “At Ohio State, we want to be this lens for people to engage in politics,” Jackson said. “We want to be the space of problem solving, the space of getting things done.” Jackson and Lipaj said that in their final year at Ohio State, they wanted to make a permanent change at their university and in their community by bringing people of all political affiliations together to sit down and tackle the major issues in the U.S.
“At Ohio State, we want to be this lens for people to engage in politics. We want to be the space of problem solving, the space of getting things done.” Jay Jackson Cofounder of No Labels
Their inaugural event had a notable lineup of OSU alumni, including state representative Steve Stivers, Ohio House of Representatives member Michael Stinziano and Ohio Senator Frank LaRose.

THE WEEK IN WELLNESS
Maintaining health while exploring sexuality DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145@osu.edu Each week The Lantern speaks with experts at Ohio State for the latest in student health and wellness tips and news. College is a time of exploration and experimentation for many. Rachelle Barr, HIV/STI testing site coordinator for the Office of Student Life Student Wellness Center, speaks to The Lantern about being safe while exploring sexuality. Q: What’s the difference between an STD and an STI? A: They are the same thing. The only difference is D stands for “disease” while I stands for “infection”. They do have different implications from a medical terminology perspecNO LABELS FROM 1
since 2008, talked about his track record for working across the aisle with Democrats in order to get more done in Congress. “We have to start with the small things, it’s where we are more agreeable,” Stivers said. Stinziano also had an Ohio background as a Columbus native who grew up just across from the old OSU hospital. Stinziano, like Stivers, talked about his determination to work across the aisle to solve the problems that affect Ohioans, and he said millennials have not yet taken advantage of the elected officials at their disposal. Leaders from BuckeyeThon, Pride OSU and USG discussed issues like college affordability, suicide prevention, new initiatives in academic advising on campus and how passion can inspire change both at OSU and in the community. The chosen topics focused on the issues currently facing millennials. Senator LaRose said he believes the “main driving force” should be prob18TH AVE FROM 1
other areas of campus,” Sadvari said. The Research Commons Workshop Series began last fall. Sadvari said it has had a lot of success with its target audience: graduate students. “For the fall and spring, we had about 140 attendees come from over 120 different departments — about a third of them were graduate students,” he said. However, Sadvari and Allen said they want it to be known that the space is not simply for graduate students but for all researchers — graduate students, undergraduate students, postdoctoral students, faculty and staff — to conduct research and network. “Everything in life is about connections and knowing others,” said Andrew Smith, a fourth-year in biology. “So if by chance you are able to do research in a certain field that somebody else has experience in, and you are able to connect with them in

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.

tive, but the two are interchangeable. Q: What are some ways to prevent transmission of STIs? A: The number one way to prevent STIs is by practicing abstinence. However, we understand that that is not a realistic method for many students and young adults. Therefore, we encourage all of the students we see to practice other methods of safe sex — most importantly, using protection while engaging in any sexual activity. Condoms are highly effective in reducing risk of transmission. However, it is important (for) people to understand that STIs can be transmitted even while wearing a condom, as not all skin surface is covered. We highly encourage open dialogue regarding sexual history, previous STI testing and just remaining open in general with your partner. Communi-
cation is essential in building healthy relationships and in maintaining sexual health. Q: Where can students go if they are concerned they may have contracted an STI? A: The Student Life Student Wellness Center offers free HIV/chlamydia/gonorrhea testing three days out of the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we test at the Multicultural Center in the Ohio Union from 5 to 9 p.m. On Thursdays, we test in the Student Wellness Center in the RPAC from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Additionally, we offer free syphilis testing on the first Tuesday of every month at the MCC in the Union during the same hours as well. However, students can seek outside resources such as AIDS Resource Center and Columbus Public Health for more testing hours and op-
tions. Although many refer to STIs as catching something, there is a proper way of referring to it … it is better to refer to it as contracting an STI. Q: How often should students (and people in general) have sexual health check-ups? A: We recommend, based on (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines, that sexually active individuals (specifically women) are tested annually for both chlamydia and gonorrhea. Furthermore, it is recommended that all sexually active gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are tested at least annually for syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. Everyone at the university level should be tested at least once for HIV. More specifically, if you are not practicing safe sex, it is best to get tested for HIV at least once a year.
lem solving. He said all millennials should be critical consumers of information and not succumb to the “fallacy of party politics.” “Everybody that’s doing this thing called ‘state government’ is trying to make a difference — but you don’t have to abandon your ideologies,” LaRose said. LaRose also said No Labels places college students in a place to better understand the political system and understand the facets of nonpartisan problem solving. “We are all passionate about causes, we want to change the world, but we’re disillusioned by politics because we think it doesn’t make a difference,” he said. “No Labels shows that there is a way to use the political process to try and make a change.” LaRose also said the current political sphere is like “two children fighting over a toy.” He said both our current and future leaders will be important in achieving bipartisan problem solving. Lipaj and Jackson said they came to-
gether this year with a vision to bring people of all political affiliations together and start problem solving. “We started No Labels because we believed in problem solving,” Jackson said. “We believed in something greater than party politics, something greater than gridlock, and that’s exactly what No Labels has given us.” Lipaj said their biggest goal — besides getting No Labels recognized — is finding the leaders that can move the organization forward in the coming years, but he said some of those future leaders could have been at the event. Jake Vasilj, the political director of Ohio State’s College Democrats, and David Stanislav, the chairman of College Republicans, closed the event by performing a poem together about compromise and finding common ground on the issues facing America today without compromising personal beliefs. “Yes, I am on the left, and you are on the right, but for our country? America? Together we fight,” the poem read.
the research facility on the third floor, then I think that it would be a great opportunity to not only learn from somebody, but to also get your foot in the door.” Sean Sun, a graduate student in computer science, said he thinks that Research Commons can help graduate students. “Grad students want to go beyond their basic studies to understand their area,” Sun said. “It would be very beneficial to connect with other researchers and experts.” Coco Headley, a graduate student in biomedical science, said the research area has the possibility to be useful. “I think there is potential for it to be helpful,” Headley said. “As a graduate student, sometimes you run into roadblocks that your mentor may not be able to fully explain, and sometimes you just need a different opinion or perspective.” While the floor will remain closed
because of the construction through December, Sadvari said there was a conservative effort to get the loud methods of construction out of the way so that students could still use the first, second, and fourth floors of the library in peace. “We started construction in early August and really tried to get a lot of the noisy stuff done before the semester started,” Allen said. With most of the “disruptive construction” completed, students can continue to use the 18th Avenue Library or other campus libraries as alternative study locations. The Biological Sciences/Pharmacy Library has extended its hours, and will close at 11 p.m. instead of the previous 8 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. Construction is expected to be completed in December, and the Research Commons is scheduled to open at the beginning of the spring semester in January.

Q: If someone has an STD/STI, should they disclose it to partners? Does this play any role in consent? A: It is definitely a person’s responsibility to share whether they have an STI to their partner. There are serious health consequences that can occur if someone is infected with an STI and does not know for an extended period of time. Many STIs do not have symptoms, so a person may never know until they get tested. I think consent and partner notification of STIs are separate things specifically, but they are very much related when it comes to protecting the health and safety of your partner.

Correction (Sept. 8 issue) The article “Redemption: Cardale Jones starts, Braxton Miller stars in Ohio State’s 42-24 victory over Virginia Tech” had a photo caption that incorrectly stated the date of the game as Sept. 17. In fact, Ohio State played Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia.

How to handle BFFs, BFs and bros OGONNA ONONYE Senior Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu Reader: My best friend recently started dating my brother and it’s a little awkward for me. She keeps telling me details I do not want to hear about and I don’t get to spend a lot of time with her or my brother. How should I deal with this? Ogonna: Boundaries. Set yourself and your friend some major boundaries. When your friends are in relationships, you are the person they go to with all the mushy gushy and sometimes TMI details of their relationship. This, however, is a tricky situation because you are not only close with your best friend, but you are also close with your sibling. Literally, you share DNA.
“Let your friend know that while you love her, you don’t love hearing her comments about how attractive she finds your brother.” While you want to support your friend, you also don’t want to know the intimate details of your sibling’s life. I think it’s perfectly fine to tell your friend this. Let your friend know that while you love her, you don’t love hearing her comments about how attractive she finds your brother, or how his eyes twinkle at night. It’s good to know the limit of what types of conversations you can and can’t stand to discuss with your friend and go ahead and set those boundaries. You’ve grown up with the guy since the diaper age and are practically attached at the hip with your friend, so you can’t help but feel a tad slighted when the two of them get together and you’re left feeling like a third wheel. Even though it’s a bummer that you don’t get to spend as much quality time with your friend or your brother, think of what ways you can encourage the relationship. If you so desire, you can help them plan dates or help them choose cute gifts for each other. This way, you’re contributing positively to their relationship as well as your own relationships with each of them. And of course, let them both know you want to still feel included. If you can’t see them at your own leisure, figure out days that work for you to hang out with your friend or with your brother separately so you can still get that quality time. You love your friend and you love your brother, so you ultiOGONNA CONTINUES ON 4

Swell Tides makes mark on Columbus music scene

ot many bands get to play a music festival as its first official gig. Columbus band Swell Tides got the opportunity to play at the Fashion Meets Music Festival on a stroke of luck. “I did a lot of volunteering for the Fashion Meets Music Festival over the summer and one of the bands dropped out. I knew the owner of Fashion Meets Music Festival, and he knew I was in a band, so he asked me to help him out to fill the spot,” drummer Max Crowder said. Crowder, lead singer and guitarist Jordan King and guitarist Michael Miyoshi, all second-years in college, have been collaborating
musically since they were in 11th grade at Manchester High School in Akron. At that time, King and Miyoshi had already been playing together for two years, and Crowder wanted in on the action. “Jordan and Mike would always leave to go practice or jam and I always got so jealous. I wanted to do what they were doing. I wanted to have fun,” he said. “I chose drums, probably because I like hitting stuff. Mike taught me a basic beat, and then I went out and bought a kit on Craigslist, and I took it and ran with it.” When King went to Kent State for college and Miyoshi and Crowder to Ohio State, they assumed it would be the end of their collaboration. King started recording tracks on his own. “I wanted to keep writing music, and I thought if I couldn’t find anyone to play with,
I’d just record the tracks myself,” he said. Having worked on the content for about a year, King decided to call on his friends so they could put together a band and play the songs live. They had all worked on their own music, but were able to pick up right where they left off. “We’ve been writing songs for a long time together. I could see us progress from where we were. I think both of our styles had progressed in slightly different directions, but I could pick up on what he’s doing just by listening to it,” Miyoshi said. But the band still needed a bass player, and SWELL TIDES CONTINUES ON 4

he said. When put under the gun to come up with a name for the project, King chose Swell Tides, inspired by the surf undertones in the music and his love of the ocean. The rest of the members share a love for the ocean as well, but not many people can say that they’ve actually lived in it like Costigan can.

HUBBARD FROM 8
senior year of high school, he said he felt comfortable in the moment. “It means a lot to me,” Hubbard said. “So excited that I was able to get out there and do my job.” Hubbard made an early impact with his sack on the Buckeyes’ second defensive series of the game. For a team full of talent on both sides of the ball, Hubbard enjoyed the opportunity to show that he belongs on the first unanimous preseason No. 1 team. “No one really knew who I was, and I wanted to come out in the game and make my name known,” the Cincinnati native said. “And that first series gave me confidence to do my thing.” Hubbard’s Scarlet and Gray debut received praise from one of his veteran teammates and captain, linebacker Joshua Perry. “He did a pretty good job,” the senior said. “You don’t notice a big drop off there (from Bosa), which is good, and now we know we’ve got some guys who we can truly rotate in there who can play great minutes for us, and we’re looking forward to that.”
Perry said he was happy to see Hubbard make an impact after knowing all the effort the redshirt freshman put in. “It’s so cool, you just want to see your guys be successful, you want to see them make the plays that you know they can make, and see all their hard work pay off,” he said. “And that’s definitely what we saw out of those guys … moving forward, we expect a lot of out of them.” Hubbard demonstrated that he is not only gifted athletically but that he is also good at studying the opposition’s playbook. When Brewer got hurt and redshirt junior quarterback Brenden Motley took over, Hubbard was critical in making the necessary defensive adjustments that came along with the new player taking snaps. “We just knew we were going to get a lot more zone read because he’s a real mobile guy. We just had to stay fundamentally sound and squeeze the tackles and make sure we were watching him,” Hubbard said. With Bosa set to return on Sat-

He added that even though his performance in camp was good enough to get the start — as well
as being good enough for the Buckeyes to leave Blacksburg with a victory — he is not sure if he will be the one taking the first snap on Saturday when the Buckeyes are scheduled to take on the Hawaii Warriors in Columbus. “I don’t think the battle is over,” Jones said, later adding, “I’m not even sure who will start Saturday.”

he threw for a total 742 yards and five scores — to capture the national championship, it was Jones’ job to lose. “Cardale finished the season as the starter and I kind of started thinking, ‘For him not to take the first snap, he had to get beat out,’” Meyer said. “And he wasn’t beat out.” Jones — who was making just his fourth career start — began the game against Virginia Tech in red-hot fashion, leading the Buckeyes to a touchdown on their first drive. On that drive, he rushed for 26 yards, while completing three of his four passes, for 54 yards and
a score. The 24-yard touchdown came while Jones was under the duress of Tech’s pass rush. The 6-foot-5 quarterback rolled to his right and tossed the ball to sophomore H-Back Curtis Samuel in the endzone, who made a diving grab for the game’s first points. Jones and the Buckeyes continued their strong performance during the first frame of the highly anticipated rematch, as they led 14-0. However, the second quarter was a different narrative. Jones and the entire offense struggled, as he did not complete a pass during the entire 15 min-

utes — except for one completion to Virginia Tech’s redshirt junior safety Desmond Frye early in the second frame, which was the first of two OSU turnovers in the quarter. The Hokies stormed back, scoring 17 unanswered points to take the lead right before halftime. At some point during the second period, Meyer said he considered making a switch and putting in the quarterback who threw for 2,834 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2014: Barrett. “I almost put J.T. in earlier,” Meyer said, “but it was such a pressure game, with Cardale’s size, I thought he could get over the top of that defensive front because they were all over the place. And that was the decision.” Meyer added that you have to be “real careful” about making a move of that magnitude and that there really is “not a formula” for it. However, if the situation arose where a switch might be necessary, Meyer would rely on his own thoughts. “You can’t have too many people’s input because all that does is confuse the situation,” he said. “If that situation is to drive the ball down the field to score, who should be in the game?” Overall, Jones ended the game 9-of-18 for 198 passing yards and two scores, along with 99 yards on the ground and another touchdown. However to Meyer, the performance was just okay. “I’d expect more, you know, the turnover you don’t do that,

Columbus Clippers seeking third Governor’s Cup in six years MICHELLE MCDONNELL Lantern reporter mcdonnell.60@osu.edu The Columbus Clippers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, won the International League West Division on Monday and finished the season tied for the best record in the league at 83-61. The Clippers tied with division-rival Indianapolis Indians, but won the tiebreaker by winning the regular season series 11-10. A large reason for the Clippers’ success this season has been their dominance at home. They tied with the Rochester Red Wings for the best home record in the league by winning 45 games while dropping only 27 at Huntington Park. The Clippers also won the division a year ago, but lost to the Durham Bulls in the first round. The team is looking to reclaim the Governor’s Cup, which goes to the winner of the International League. It last took home the cup in back-to-back seasons in 2010 and 2011. Outfielder James Ramsey, who was with the Clippers during the 2014 postseason, said he believes that having a mix of postseason veterans and newcomers will be helpful as the playoffs get underway. “Any time you’re playing in the postseason, experience helps,”
Ramsey said. “We have a decent number of guys that were here last year, but there’s a lot of new faces which I think also can help because sometimes the less you know the better in these heightened situations. You can just go and play your game like it’s a normal one.” The Clippers will face the South Division champion Norfolk Tides in Norfolk, Virginia, on Wednesday in the first game of a best-offive semifinal series.
“They play to win ... and they do the little things in the game that help you at the end of the game be in a position to win it” Chris Tremie Clippers manager
Clippers manager Chris Tremie said he wants to carry on the success his team has had this season into the playoffs. “It’s been a team effort,” Tremie said. “They play to win . . . and they do the little things in the game that help you at the end of the game be in a position to win it.” Columbus is scheduled to open the postseason with two games in Norfolk on Wednesday and Thursday before returning home to Huntington Park for Game 3 on Friday night. Games 4 and 5 would each be played in Columbus, if necessary.
in collegiate hockey, serving as a rinkside reporter for the Big Ten Network. Now, he’s still settling into his new role in the buckeye state, but Strobel said he already feels right at home in Columbus. “I’m very fortunate,” he said. “I’m very humbled by the opportunity at Ohio State. It’s a family, and everyone bleeds scarlet and gray.” His hiring was not long after the sudden departure of Brett Larson, who returned home to his alma mater at Minnesota Duluth to be the assistant coach of the Bulldogs after two seasons on the bench with the Buckeyes. Senior defenseman Craig Dalrymple mentioned that despite the tough loss that came along with Larson’s departure, there are plenty of good vibes surrounding their new coach. “He’s all business,” the captain said. “As a program, we’re all excited to see what he’s got and hopefully he’ll make us better hockey players and better people. He’s going to do everything he can to not only further my game but the rest of the team.” A self-described “player’s coach,” Strobel tries to be as straightforward with his coaching style as it gets. “I don’t over-analyze things,” Strobel said. “Young people have enough on their plate already. What I try not to do is over-coach. I try to keep things simple but within a framework of what we need to accomplish. I’m not going to let them cut corners, but I’ll be

I’m really excited about his fit into our staff and with the guys we already have on board, I think he’ll be a great fit for everything.” It remains to be seen how the program will move forward during Strobel’s tenure, but the bond the two coaches share can’t hurt
OSU’s chance for future success. “I think it’s going to be tremendous because when you’re brothers, and blood is thicker than water, you can be very real and honest with that person on a daily basis,” Strobel said. “I’m a family guy first and foremost and that’s going to translate to our team. That bond is unbroken amongst family members when you’re unbroken and pushing each other to the best you can be on a daily basis.” OSU hasn’t been to an NCAA tournament since 2009, when they were swiftly eliminated by eventual champion Boston University in the first round. Strobel recognizes that while there is not as much history to build on as his alma mater when it comes to hockey, that can change with the right formula. Ingredient one is signing a recruit who will work tirelessly on to bring to Columbus, he said. “When you look at our building and you look into the rafters, there is no tradition, there is no history,” Strobel said. “The Chicago Bulls didn’t have much going on before a guy by the name of Michael Jordan got there and turned things around.” From there, there’s only one thing left to do. “You’ve got to win hockey games, plain and simple,” Strobel said. “If you win 25 to 27 hockey games a year and you’re back into the NCAA tournament on a regular basis, by all means I believe the fans will show up and the people will want to be part of a winner. It’s just the way human nature works.”

New coach hopes to build new traditions Former Wisconsin player Mark Strobel strives to build intensity as coach MILES MCQUINN Lantern reporter mcquinn.7@osu.edu The Ohio State hockey program will have a new face behind its bench for the 2015-16 campaign in the form of former Wisconsin standout defenseman Mark Strobel. Strobel manned the blueline for the Badgers from 1991-1995 and was captain of the team in both his junior and senior years. Wisconsin reached the NCAA tournament in each of his four years there, finishing as runner-up in 1992. His coaching career includes stints with Colorado College and the Twin Cities Vulcans of the United States Hockey League, before heading back to the NCAA ranks with current OSU head coach Steve Rohlik at Minnesota Duluth. He then moved on to University of Nebraska Omaha before landing in Columbus. Although his stint in Omaha was his last coaching position in 2003-04, Strobel stayed involved HOCKEY CONTINUES ON 7

OSU redshirt junior quarterback Cardale Jones (12) runs with the ball during the game against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7.
HIS SPOT TO LOSE Jones gets the start in season opener, but he doesn’t think the battle is over KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu The biggest question in college football during the offseason was finally answered on Monday night when redshirt junior quarterback Cardale Jones trotted out onto the turf at Lane Stadium to take the first snap of the 2015 season for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Coach Urban Meyer stayed true to his word, as he reiterated all through fall camp that the world would not find out who the starter would be until the Scarlet and Gray’s first offensive play. According to Jones, that is when members of the team — including the two guys in contention for the spot, redshirt sopho-
more J.T. Barrett and Jones — found out as well. When the offense huddled up prior to taking the field for the first time, both quarterbacks were there. The Cleveland native said that after the play was called and the huddle broke, he began to take a few steps toward the sideline before he was stopped and told he was in. “When y’all found out, I found out,” Jones said after the Buckeyes’ 42-24 victory over Virginia Tech. Meyer said the competition between Barrett and Jones was “real close” through camp. But for him, after Jones took over for the injured Barrett and guided the Buckeyes on a historic three-game stretch — in which JONES CONTINUES ON 6

With junior Joey Bosa suspended for the season opener at Virginia Tech, it was the redshirt freshman Sam Hubbard who had the opportunity to shine in his place. In his first game for Ohio State, Hubbard — who played safety in high school then spent time as both a tight end and linebacker in Columbus before settling in permanently at the defensive line — had four tackles and assisted on three others, including a sack of Hokies redshirt senior quarterback Michael Brewer for a loss of five yards.
