The event took place at the Mershon Auditorium with an audience of more than 1,000 people. Turkson is the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and a prominent environmental adviser to the pope. He led the drafting process of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment titled “Laudato Si’,” which translates to “Praise be to You.” The encyclical letter highlights the importance of the discussion about protecting the environment, and calls

Age does not disqualify anybody from contributing towards the solution to this.” Drake introduced Turkson during the event. “Known for his human touch, Cardinal Turkson speaks more than six languages, as well as understanding Latin and Greek, just in case,” he said. The cardinal gave a short speech about his life of service, his work at the Vatican, and the goals of Pope Francis in confronting the issues of climate change and global sustainability. “(The encyclical) invites us all to show common concern and care, for the one thing that we all share, our common globe,” Turkson said CARDINAL CONTINUES ON 2

Student employees get extra training in new programs EILEEN MCCLORY Senior Lantern reporter mcclory.10@osu.edu Student employees in the Office of Student Life have a new opportunity to receive additional training to apply to future career endeavours, as the Student Employment Experience has doubled its program offerings. SEE began last year with 15 programs, said Caleb Craft, learning and development specialist for Student Life human resources who is in charge of the program. An additional 18 were added this year. Craft said he expects the rest of the approximately 40 Student Life programs will come on board. Craft said SEE has three compo-

dents are learning the most through their jobs. “It’s a way to have students see their employment as more than just a paycheck, but an opportunity to build skills that they can use for life,” he said. Craft said the GROW conversations were used with permission for the University of Iowa so students could reflect on their learning. “It’s just a really short conversation that helps students with their supervisor reflect on what they’re learning in the workplace,” Craft said. He added that all students have the opportunity to attend training workshops through the Office of Student Life once a semester to develop future career skills.

Some of the students who have gone through the program said they enjoyed the training. “I think there’s always a little bit of a stigma in Dining Services, that it’s a job that you’re not going to put on your resume, or it’s not very important, so I think it’s a way for the workers to think about what they’re getting out of it and how their skills can be applied,” said Ryan Crell, a fifth-year in electrical and computer engineering, who works in the Union Market, Espress-OH and Woody’s in managing, hiring and scheduling.

The Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University has been recognized as one of the most-connected hospitals in the country in 2014, according to a recent study by U.S. News & World Report. The U.S. News & World Report Most Connected Hospitals 201516 Study was published in mid-October and acknowledged OSU’s Wexner Medical Center and 158 other hospitals in the nation based on each hospital’s commitment to improve patient care through digital technology by combining the three domains of clinical connectedness, patient engagement and patient safety.

“We are the only sort of academic medical center in central Ohio. We can learn from our researchers to help us improve care.” Phyllis Teater Chief information officer and associate vice president, Wexner Medical Center

The Wexner Medical Center met the requirements to be included in the list and, according to the report, scored 62.5 out of 75 points in the 2014 survey. The medical center scored 60 out of 61 points in the 2013 version. “I think it is more about the work we do to do all of these things, and then the recognition helps us to tell the story of what we are doing,” said Phyllis Teater, chief information officer and associate vice president of the medical center. “It does help our providers and staff to feel like people are noticing the great things that we do. It helps us to look at the criteria to help us learn and continue to improve.” Responses were cataloged from the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Information Technology Supplements, which received responses reflecting 3,308 hospitals in 2014 with a response rate of about 60 percent, according to the report. Each hospital initially had to be considered high-performing or nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report’s current Best MED CENTER CONTINUES ON 2

Travel tensions: COURTNEY JOHNSON For The Lantern johnson.6323@osu.edu In the wake of heightened Israeli-Palestinian tensions and a surge of violence in Israel last month, some Jewish Ohio State students are remaining resolute but cautious about upcoming plans to travel to Israel. Every year, dozens of OSU students voyage to the Holy Land on trips often funded by Jewish organizations. Susannah Sagan, associate director of the OSU Hillel, a university religious engagement group, said she expects 40 to 70 students to make the trip this season, a projection that has not changed since the string of attacks began. “Obviously there’s a period of unrest right now,” said Annie Gordon, a second-year in psychology. “Likely it’s just going to diffuse in a few months back to the semitense state it’s always in. Or if it keeps escalating, it’s obviously not an opportune time to pack my bags and head over there.” Gordon first traveled to Israel during her sophomore year of high school.

“We’ve learned about this country since we were in preschool, and so 14 years of Jewish education sort of culminates when you go there,” she said. Gordon said she plans to return next summer with a group from OSU. However, she said she would hesitate to make the trek if current

tensions escalate. Nine Israelis have been killed by Palestinians and 72 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces since Oct. 1, according to Al Jazeera. This uptick in violence has been fueled in part by tensions over a Jerusalem holy site revered by both sides. Over the past few weeks, Israelis have been targeted in attacks where

Students consider travel to Israel amid violence they’ve been “run over, stabbed or even hacked to death,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a press conference on Oct. 20. Noa Bauer is the vice president of international marketing for Taglit-Birthright Israel, a major facilitator of Jewish heritage trips that expects 16,000 young-adult travelers this winter. Coordinating with various Israeli defense agencies, Birthright Israel collaborates with local officials to “assess the prevailing situation and make the necessary adjustments,” Bauer said in an email. “The safety and well-being of the Birthright Israel participants is our primary operating principle and our foremost concern,” Bauer said. Ricky Mulvey, a second-year in international business and political science, interned in Israel this summer. He said that while he believes current travelers should take extra caution while visiting at this time, he would not hesitate to return now. “Israel has very rarely had a time of peace since 1948, since (the country) started,” Mulvey said. “If you’re going to plan your travel to Israel around this dispute, this conflict – you’re never going to end up going there.”

Hospitals for Complex Care, Best Hospitals for Common Care or Best Children’s Hospitals surveys to be eligible for recognition as most-connected, according to the report. “We are the only sort of academic medical center in central Ohio. We can learn from our researchers to help us improve care,” Teater said. “We have access to all of those great minds to help us improve care for our patients.” A hospital’s recognition was based on its domain-specific and overall scores from a set of questions in the 2013 and 2014 AHA annual surveys. One domain in the report is patient engagement, which accounted for one-fifth of the total score in 2013 and one-tenth in 2014 Patient engagement, according to the report, is a hospital’s ability to give patients electronic access to their medical information and allow them to update or change it. The Wexner Medical Center had a perfect score in the 2014 IT Supplement for patient engagement. Dr. Susan Moffatt-Bruce, the chief quality and patient-safety officer, said the medical center shines in patient engagement through an online patient portal called MyChart, which allows patients to communicate with their physician, order prescription renewals and schedule appointments, among many other things, on their own time. “We have over 130,000 patients connected to their own chart,” Moffatt-Bruce said. “If you go to the doctor and then go home after, you can get onto your own MyChart to see your results and track your progress.” Another domain, clinical con-

McPheron asked them both about the importance of confronting environmental degradation, about their personal experiences with the issue and about their plans for the future. Drake recounted an anecdote about a trip through the redwood forests and what he gained from the experience. “The concept of being able to work hard, to make sure that those

But Craft added he loved working with students and employers in SEE. “Most of (the supervisors) are really on board with working on this initiative and want to be intentional about providing the best employment experience possible for their students,” Craft said. “Our supervisors really are educators, so that’s really cool.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A Buckeye belongs in the White House After completing his time as the president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes sat on the Board of Trustees for the Ohio State University. Serving one twoyear term for the Board of Trustees, from 1881 to 1893, President Hayes is the only person affiliated with OSU to have sat in the White House. Our state has been called the “Mother of Presidents,” seeing eight individuals serve since our nation’s founding, but we’ve yet to send a graduate from the largest university in the state. It’s about time a Buckeye sits in the Oval Office, and we can make that happen with Gov. John R. Kasich. Kasich has been serving the state of Ohio diligently as governor since 2010 and in Congress from 1983 to 2001. Now he’s ready to serve our great nation. This presents not only an amazing opportunity for the state of Ohio to continue as a political powerhouse for this nation but also a phenomenal opportunity for students of OSU to get involved. After all, this is the first time in our nation’s history that a campaign headquarters, as well as a political action committee, have been minutes away from campus. With a 10-minute

car ride, or a 30-minute ride on the COTA No. 2, a student would be able to network with the governor’s staff and, quite possibly, the next White House administration. I’m having an amazing time working with New Day for America, the PAC that supports Kasich, but my work alone will not be

enough to send him to Washington. Between working the phone banks, knocking on doors, and rallies, both Kasich for America and New Day for America need as much help as they can get to elect John Kasich president. If this opportunity sounds like something you’d like to get involved with, feel

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Standing for social justice To the Ohio State community: On Oct. 23, the Washington Times published an opinion piece written by an Ohio State University Moritz College of Law student. The article, “The number one killer of black Americans,” describes how in 2011, “402 black Americans were aborted in America every single day.” As the Black Law Students Association at the OSU Moritz College of Law, our chapter is uniquely positioned to advocate on the issues of race relations and socioeconomic disparities in a productive and positive manner. We take offense to the racist undertones of this opinion piece and question its journalistic integrity. This article challenges the principles of professionalism, scholastic integrity and common sense that we strive to uphold as Moritz law students. By making such sweeping and irresponsible statements regarding black women’s reproductive health, the opinion piece fails to address myriad factors that might influence a black woman’s decision to exercise her reproductive rights. The destructive generalizations made in this piece open the door for discussions regarding the larger issues that

Our chapter wants to send a clear message to the greater OSU community that the Black Law Students Association is empowered to make a difference and to stand for social justice. This article perpetuates that black women are the No. 1 killer of black Americans. We reject this notion. In making such sweeping implications, stereotypes of black Americans are recklessly perpetuated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute, the leading causes of death in black Americans are heart disease, cancer and stroke. Access to affordable, quality health care is a significant factor in determining survival rates for black Americans. When

discussing the mortality of black lives, lack of medical coverage, barriers to early detection and screening, and unequal access to improvements in treatments are equally important factors that desperately need to be incorporated into the conversation. Our chapter wants to send a clear message to the greater OSU community that the Black Law Students Association is empowered to make a difference and to stand for social justice.

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Friendly Faux abandons ship, remains hopeful HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu

(From Left to Right)

Friendly Faux was on Ohio State’s campus for one day, according to lead singer Geoff Spall. None of the band members have attended OSU, rather they each attended a different school, but students might recognize them from their set at Buck-i-Frenzy in the summer of 2014. “We finally got all set up and our first song we crashed in and everybody looked over like, ‘What the hell?’ and then twenty seconds later they just turned back to their cell phones,” said bassist and vocalist Charis Yost. Spall, Yost and drummer Brandyn Morit met in high school in Delaware, Ohio, and Friendly Faux has been a part of the Columbus music scene since 2012. They described themselves as unabashed, no-frills rock. The members fell into their respective instruments naturally. “Me and Geoff started jamming out in the early 2000s and he was just a better solo-er, so I was like, ‘Alright, I’ll go on bass,’ and I love it now,” Yost said. Morit said he used to enjoy playing guitar and drums until he lost his finger after it was shut in a door, which compromised his guitar career and made him “drummer by default.” In their upcoming third album, “Abandon Ship!” the trio shared writing responsibilities but agreed that an appropriate description for the lyrics is “an exploration of darkness.”

“It’s deeper. The other (albums) only scratched the surface and with this one we spent a lot of time getting right. We had a crazy year of moving from a lot of practice spots, we all moved from places we lived. Lives fell apart and were rebuilt,” Spall said. It’s the moving of practice spaces that inspired the title of the album. When their usual space was flooded in the spring of 2015, they shouted, “Abandon ship!” as they tried to save all of their gear from being ruined in the water. Luckily, the band was able to save the gear. Having been in the scene for three years now, Morit said that the band has outlived numerous local bars. He and the other members agree that charging cover is detri-

mental for business of the bar and the bands performing. “Bars around here want to charge a cover of five or more dollars to come in and see a band you’ve never heard of, so they just go to an-

The three-piece outfit has a new album of “unabashed, nofrills rock” other bar where they can get in for free,” he said. Spall added that the cover charge makes it more difficult for new bands that haven’t built a fanbase

to book shows, as they may not get enough people to pay to see them at first. “Some people don’t have credibility, and it’s hard to gain that right away,” he said. Yost said he believes that fans will support the bands they care about monetarily, but that shouldn’t be a requirement. “It’s like a small business. If you enjoy that business you want to put money back into it so it keeps on going,” he said. Still, the band worries that there aren’t enough resources in Columbus to really make it. “We have a lot of friends and people that we like here, and I think we all share similar interests and similar goals. Whether or not they can be achieved in the Columbus environment, I don’t know,” Spall said. “Maybe Columbus is just too far removed from places that are more popular, where rock ‘n’ roll is more popular.” Morit added, “There’s a bunch of great bands but nobody with the

money or connections to take it outside of the city.” The Friendly Faux members said they agree that a hopeful part of the local music scene is Worst Kept Secret Fest, which was founded by Spall. “That’s a real thing. People show up there and they watch every band. There’s not a bunch of cell phones out. That’s actually a really fun time that’s a giant party with everybody respecting each other and having a good time, and it’s free,” Spall said. The Friendly Faux’s next album will be available to stream and download on Bandcamp. The band will be sharing an album release show with a previous Columbus’ Own feature, The Cordial Sins, this Saturday at Big Room Bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. and admission is $5.

Exhibition aims to show the meaning of curating YUÈ WÚ Lantern reporter wu.1710@osu.edu Ordering subjects in an abnormal way can be as interesting as it is meaningful. Twenty-four students in Kris Paulsen’s History of Art 5001: The Task of the Curator will collectively curate the exhibition “A to 12: The Task of the Curator” to show a variety of arrangement systems adopted by different artists. The exhibition, opening to the public at the Hopkins Hall Gallery on Saturday and running until Dec. 2, intends to tell the meaning of “curate” to the public. “‘Curate’ originally meant a person who cares for things; often someone was unable to care for themselves,” Paulsen said. “This idea of curating now means any active selection or tastes, so it is used a lot in a common or colloquial way to mean a demonstration of taste, which is a very different thing from caring for objects.” The exhibition explains the significance of curating in art history as well as in contemporary art. “Curating is important in an art historical context because it has helped define artistic movements across time, which has really shaped how we see the course of history,” said Anna Talarico, a third-year in history of art, in an email. “Curating is vital to modern art.”

“A lot of people have the ‘it looks like my child could have made that’ mentality toward contemporary art,” she said. “When modern art is curated well, people are able to understand what the art is trying to say, instead of judging a work just by the way it looks. Contemporary art is not always difficult to understand; it just needs someone to enable it to speak.” According to Paulsen, curating also introduces the world to a type of art that people might not be familiar with. “More and more attention is be-

ing paid in art history not just because of the artworks, but to the exhibitions in which they appeared and the curators who chose those works perhaps from obscurity,” Paulsen said. “Exhibitions give them a chance to be seen and to launch one’s career.” According to the abstracts written by students, this exhibition examines the ways in which visual artists interpret collecting and sorting in a culture overflowing with

data, technology and things. “I think curating matters because the way in which you collect or organize something will bring ideas,” said Elliott Jenkins, a fourth-year in history of art. Paulsen said although certain ordering systems might not be reasonable, things arranged in those systems can tell something different. “The show is all of the artists who collect things and then organize them, sometimes in an idiosyncratic way using strange systems of logic or very innovative techniques for bringing materials together,” Paulsen said.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ topic to talk about LEAH MCCLURE Lantern reporter mcclure.607@osu.edu If dance is intended to evoke emotions out of the audience, Drake definitely accomplishes that goal in his music video for “Hotline Bling”— as long as the emotions are confusion and perhaps a bit of discomfort. The music video, released Oct. 19 on Apple Music, set the Internet ablaze with memes and discussion posts focused on the rapper’s unchoreographed, and questionable, solo dance scenes. The director of the music video, Director X, defended Drake’s moves in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying “real men dance.” The director went on to point out that men in particular often feel too self-conscious to dance and tend to focus on their image rather than having a good time. While Drake’s carefree dance moves don’t stand up to the likes of Michael Jackson, it is admirable and refreshing that instead of trying to look cool, he’s just dancing without fear of judgement or disapproval. This is all fine and dandy. Most people can get down with the idea of not caring too much about what others think, and guys shouldn’t be afraid to dance. However, if “Hotline Bling” is a depiction of a “real man,” what does it say about real

Every female featured in the music video has something in common: they all are adorned with considerably large gluteus muscles — that’s “booty” in Drakespeak. The video opens with a scene of a call center with only female employees. All of the ladies wear a matching uniform of tight,

high-waisted jeans and a cropped, pink top that shows off their assets, and they can be seen answering phone calls, twirling their hair and taking selfies. Another questionable scene shows only their silhouettes while they dance in slow motion and pose in unnatural, sexual positions. The use of silhouettes and match-

Yet in the scenes she shares with the rapper, she is treated as more of a sexual object than a dance partner. Drake can be seen picking her

ASK OGONNA

Reader: I know I need to break up with my boyfriend but don’t know how. I still care about him a lot and have a bunch of feelings for him, but our relationship is not what it used to be and it seems like nothing we’ve addressed is getting better. I don’t want to put my energy in this anymore if I’m not happy, but I don’t know how or if I should even let it go. Ogonna: They say it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. By “they” I mean Alfred Tennyson and those who think this quote was from Shakespeare. To me, I think there might be a lot to be gained from breakups. In fact, I think that sometimes, letting go is the best thing you can do for the people we love. Forget what you’ve seen on the big screen. Breakups are not usually the spur of the moment, screaming, yelling and crying drama that Hollywood films would have us believe. Not to say some break ups don’t involve screaming, yelling, crying and drama, but I’m focusing on the “spur of the moment” aspect. Usually, if the decision to break up isn’t a mutual one where both sides could see the ties coming undone, there is one party who has probably thought of breaking up a while beforehand.

If you’ve been feeling like you can’t give your significant other the same devotion, attention, care and support as they have been giving you, then something needs to change. Yes, those in relationships will and should question the status from time to time, having a little check in to make sure they are getting what they want out of the relationship. But if you’ve reached a point where you’re not seeing an improvement in these issues, or you are neither receiving nor reciprocating the attention, support, care or energy with which you originally started the relationship, these could be blaring warning signs to end it. But, you still have feelings and still care about your romantic partner very much. So how do you navigate those dynamics? It’s ideal to think that a breakup would be easier with no feelings, but reality has proven time and time again that most of those feelings won’t go away, even if you choose to break up. In this case, you have to put facts before feelings. You can still care about and even still be in love with another person, but that doesn’t mean that person is right for you at the time. A relationship is more than just feelings — it’s a mutual support system that is fun and lively and supportive in difficult times and stressful situations. If you know that your relationship is toxic, or you no longer have the desire to put forth the energy to

commit, you have to do what will be better for the both of you in the long run. So how does one go about breaking up with another person? There is no easy way to do this and definitely no easy way to advise another person on how to do this. We all are different and will take things in different ways. There are universal norms where you should under no circumstance send a breakup by way of text message or equivalent social media. That is simply cruel. Take into account your significant other’s emotional stability and how that person reacts to more serious information, sit them down and talk it out. Let your significant other know how much you care about them, tell them why you can’t be in a relationship at the moment and, above everything, be honest. Breaking up is hard to do, but honesty is key. What’s the point of putting both you and your significant other through heartbreak if you’re not even going to confront the reality of the situation? It’s better for both sides to be upfront in as gentle of a way as possible during this serious talk. That way there is no confusion about what happened or why. And if anything, there might be some lessons learned for future relationships.

Breaking up is hard to do OGONNA ONONYE Senior Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu

up while she straddles him and using her butt as a pillow while she lies on the floor and twerks. Unfortunately, overly sexualized depictions of women is the norm in the hip-hop genre and the music industry in general. Although many people praise the curve-loving movement led by women like Nicki Minaj for moving away from the thin, model-type bodies typically seen in popular culture, it’s just a step in a different, but still wrong, direction. Body movements encouraging women to love their curves and widespread images of thin models all contradict each other. Instead, women, and everyone else, should be encouraged to love themselves. Bottom line: What they look like shouldn’t be a part of the discussion. Ideally this attitude will one day be adopted by the masses and people can stop talking about the female physicality altogether. After all, women are more than just bodies.

As an example, she mentioned Lenka Clayton, an artist who alphabetically rearranged a speech of former President George W. Bush after 9/11. “It gives us a database of the amount of (times) he said ‘Afghanistan,’ the amount of (times) he said ‘Al-Qaeda’ and the amount of (times) he said ‘America,’” Paulsen said. “It is not a sensible way to organize a speech, but it tells us something interesting.” She also said that people often say “A to Z” or “1 to 12,” so the title “A to 12” indicates the absurdity of the order to correspond with the exhibition. The exhibition will include Andy Warhol, Carmen Winant, Ed Ruscha, Clayton, Michael Mandiberg, Natalie Bookchin, William E. Jones, Christian Marclay, Shana Lutker and John Baldessari. “All of the artists in the show are collectors of things and also arrangers of things,” Paulsen said. The exhibition also shows artists’ different interpretations of collecting. “Right now we have so much technology and data, and people kind of internalize all of that and make sense for themselves by collecting, organizing and ordering their own personal collections,” Jenkins said. “So these artists’ work in the exhibition just speak to the ideas of why we collect.”

SCOUTING FOOTBALL

Minnesota: A look at the 2015 Golden Gophers KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu After its lone bye week of the season, No. 3 Ohio State is set to welcome the Minnesota Golden Gophers to Ohio Stadium on Saturday. It will do so with a familiar face back behind center in redshirt junior Cardale Jones, who will start for the suspended J.T. Barrett. For Minnesota, it moseys into Columbus after a head-scratching 29-26 loss to then-No. 15 Michigan on Halloween. What would have been the goahead touchdown from Minnesota’s redshirt junior quarterback Mitch Leidner with 19 seconds left was overturned on review. That was followed by poor clock management on the ensuing play, before a questionable decision to bypass attempting a 19-yard field goal to tie the game, instead opting for an unsuccessful one-yard quarterback sneak as time expired. The bizarre loss is just another installment in a rather disappointing campaign for Minnesota, which many thought would compete for the Big Ten West division crown, as it dropped to 4-4 on the year and 1-3 in the Big Ten. Here is deeper look at the 2015 Golden Gophers. Emotional push Last week, Jerry Kill announced that he would be retiring from coaching because of health concerns. The exit of Kill, who was in the midst of his fourth season at the helm in Minneapolis, seemingly provided the double-digit underdog Golden Gophers with an emotional boost against then-No. 15 Michigan. “Coach Kill is so important to the state of Minnesota,” Leidner said following the loss. “The whole game was just emotional … For all the work every single person on that sideline put in to play for (Kill), it’s just an overwhelming feeling.” Leidner threw for a season-high 317 passing yards, sophomore tight end Brandon Lingen had more receiving yards (111) than he had

OSU then-sophomore defensive lineman Joey Bosa (97) runs after Minnesota then-redshirt sophomore quarterback Mitch Leidner (7) during a Nov. 15 game in Minneapolis. OSU won, 31-24. in the first seven games combined and the offense as a whole piled up 461 yards — the second most this season — against the nation’s topranked defense. The Golden Gophers, who at one point had three straight three-point wins over measly opponents Colorado State, Kent State and Ohio, arguably looked the best they had all season against the Wolverines. Sometimes things that happen outside of the X’s and O’s, like Kill’s retirement, can have unexplainable effects once the game kicks off. One game is much too small of a sample size to know for sure if the emotional boost will be sustained, but against Michigan, Minnesota looked like the team many expected them to be early in the season. This week, against the nation’s No. 3 team in primetime with Kill’s

exit still fresh in their minds, the Golden Gophers should be up to the challenge against OSU. Carrying the weight Emotions aside, there is a reason why Minnesota sits at .500 on the season. It’s because the Golden Gopher offense is — at best — marginal, and the defense has to carry much of the weight. Other than its 41-13 victory over Purdue (2-6), Minnesota has not scored more than 27 points in a game, which it did over the Mid-American Conference’s Ohio. Much of the reason why the Golden Gophers are ranked 107th in scoring offense is because of their inability to find the end zone. On the year, they have just 18 touchdowns compared to 14 field goals. To put it in perspective, one of the Big Ten’s worst teams

it’s one game at a time.” The top four seeds in the conference play home quarterfinal games. The Buckeyes have clinched a top-four spot as they hold the tiebreaker with current No. 5 seed Indiana, which can tie OSU’s 13 points with a win and OSU loss. The Buckeyes defeated the Hoosiers in Bloomington, Indiana, on Oct. 10, 1-0. A peek at Michigan Michigan will be entering Wednesday’s match coming off a 1-0 shutout victory against in-state rival Michigan State. Freshmen midfielder Francis Atuahene, who leads the Big Ten in shots per game, has paced Michigan this season with 10 goals and three assists, followed by redshirt senior midfielder Colin McAtee with five goals and two assists. Senior forward William Mel-

in Purdue has 30 touchdowns and only three field goals. Those offensive struggles mean much more pressure is applied to the Minnesota defense. For the most part, the defense has not cracked under that pressure, as it’s been rather disruptive for opponents. Anchored by redshirt sophomore linebacker Cody Poock and senior cornerback Antonio Johnson, who both have 55 tackles on the season, the defense ranks 25th in the country. The veteran secondary, which starts three seniors, has been stingy all season long, letting up just 174 yards per game. With the struggling Jones back at quarterback for the Buckeyes, Minnesota will hope to capitalize on its secondary’s success and limit the OSU offense.

If the said scenario can happen, the pressure shifts to the offense to do its part and find the end zone. Unfortunately for the Golden Gophers, expecting the offense to improve against the stout Scarlet and Gray defense is a tall task. Teammate reunions Minnesota’s roster is littered with connections to current Buckeyes, as three players played high school football with an OSU player and another — redshirt senior center Brian Bobek — once donned the scarlet and gray. Two others are Ohio natives. Johnson was a high school teammate of OSU redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Donovan Munger at Shaker Heights High School near Cleveland. Minnesota redshirt freshman wide receiver Isaiah Gentry, who has two catches for 36 yards this season, was high school teammates with OSU’s redshirt freshman defensive Sam Hubbard at Cincinnati’s Archbishop Moeller, where the duo won back-toback state championships. Minnesota redshirt freshman Jared Weyler played alongside OSU sophomore Evan Lisle on the offensive line at Centerville High School near Dayton. Bobek, who now starts at center for Minnesota, will be returning to Columbus where he spent a season on the OSU football team in 2011, appearing in five games. The Inverness, Illinois, native transferred after his freshman campaign. Beyond the Buckeyes Following Saturday’s showdown, Minnesota has another undefeated team on the docket. The Golden Gophers are scheduled to take on the No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes on Nov. 14 in Iowa City, Iowa. Kickoff is penciled in for 8 p.m.

lors-Blair has chipped in three goals and four helpers. In goal, sophomore goalkeeper Evan Louro has played a total of 1,533 minutes and leads the conference in save percentage with a mark of .821. His goals-against average of .70 is also tops in the Big Ten. Awards keep coming For the third time during OSU’s surprise season, its players have swept the Big Ten weekly awards. After netting a game-winning goal against Maryland last week, Amankwa was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career. The junior college transfer, who is in his first season with the Buckeyes, has a pair of goals and two assists on the year. Senior goalkeeper Chris Froschauer’s suffocating senior sea-

son continues. After picking up his conference-leading eighth clean sheet against the Terrapins last week, the transfer from Dayton earned his fourth Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award. Froschauer — who saved five shots against Maryland to improve his save percentage to .808, second in the Big Ten — is the fourth player in conference history to win the award four times in one season. Overall, there have been seven times a Buckeye has won a weekly award this fall. What’s next The Buckeyes will host their first opponent in the Big Ten tournament on Sunday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The time and opponent will be determined after Wednesday’s slate of games.

Hession said she is impressed with what she has seen from Lee so far. “I think mechanically her swing is very solid, and I’ve been impressed with her controlling her emotions on the golf course while she’s competing,” Hession said. “She picks things up very quickly, and she’s got a good work ethic to go along with it as well.” Lee, who calls finishing 16th at the Canadian Women’s Amateur and taking home titles at the Alberta Ladies Amateur and Albert Junior Girls championships as her biggest accomplishments, has goals at the collegiate level and

beyond. “I want to learn a lot from coach here at Ohio State and hopefully get some individual titles and some team wins. Hopefully our team can get a national championship under our belt,” Lee said. “After college, I’d like to turn pro and be successful on the LPGA circuit at some point.” Lee and the women’s golf team are set to return to action Feb. 7 in Palos Verdes, California, at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge.

A shot for glory Ohio State men’s soccer team looks to secure Big Ten title in finale vs. Michigan MARIESHA GIBSON Lantern reporter gibson.917@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s soccer team will play for the Big Ten title against its biggest conference rival in the regular-season finale on Wednesday, when the Buckeyes are set to host Michigan at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The game against Michigan (8-4-4, 3-2-2) will arguably be the biggest game of the season for OSU (10-5-2, 4-2-1) because it will play a major role in determining who takes away the regular-season Big Ten title. “Our coach has been telling us all season to just take it one game at a time,” junior forward Yaw Amankwa said. “We look forward to the next game and will prepare the same way. It’s just another game and we will do whatever we can to win.” OSU started off the season in dismal fashion, notching just two wins in seven games. But things changed halfway through the season for the Scarlet and Gray, as it rattled off a 10-game unbeaten streak to leap to the top of the conference standings. “We worked so hard to get here,” Amankwa said. “At the beginning of the season no

one thought we could do it and it just feels good to prove people wrong.” The Buckeyes sit at No. 1 in the Big Ten standings with 13 points, followed by Rutgers and Northwestern with 12 points each. Michigan sits in fourth place but still with a chance to grab the top seed with 11 points. Losses by OSU, Rutgers and Northwestern would give the Wolverines the crown.

Rutgers is set to face Maryland on Wednesday, while Northwestern is scheduled to take on Wisconsin. The Scarlet Knights would win the conference with a win and OSU loss, as they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Wildcats. Rutgers was able to slash OSU’s win streak on Oct. 25, putting the Scarlet Knights at No. 1 in the conference. The Scarlet and Gray bounced back on Saturday, however, defeating Maryland and jumping right back up to the top spot in the standings. The Buckeyes plan to keep that momentum going against Michigan to claim the Big Ten title. “To be in the position Wednesday night to play for the championship is great,” OSU coach John Bluem said. “But you got to win the game, and so we’ll prepare for the game like we’ve prepared for games all year long, and we’ll try to do the same things.” The Buckeyes hope to defeat Michigan on Wednesday, not only to claim the Big Ten title but also to have a favorable matchup in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. “We hope to finish strong and win on Wednesday night, and we’re going to hope to get a good seed so we get to play a quarterfinal game here at home,” Bluem said. “But SOCCER CONTINUES ON 7

OSU freshman Jaclyn Lee.

Ohio State women’s golfer Jaclyn Lee will not only be representing the Buckeyes in 2016 but also the 2016 Canadian national amateur team, as the freshman from Calgary, Alberta, was recently named to the roster. Golf Canada selects five amateur men and women to join the national squad each year with the hope of preparing them for a future professional golf career, according to its website. The selections are made based on objective performance results. “I’m extremely blessed to be given the opportunity to be one of those five people,” Lee said. “It feels great. It’s definitely a reward for the season that I had last year and to know that hard work is paying off.” The freshman had spent the previous two

years on the Team Canada Development Squad, which pushed her to work even harder. “I’ve seen the benefits to being a national squad member, all the support you get in terms of coaching, and the team kind of becomes another family to you. So that’s definitely motivated me,” Lee said. “We have access to so many resources, but it’s really up to you to take advantage of them.” OSU women’s golf coach Therese Hession said having someone of Lee’s caliber on the squad is an honor. “Somebody who really is one of the top five amateurs in all of Canada, obviously we’re really excited to have her on board,” Hession said. “I think the opportunity is fun, as a coach, to have somebody that’s at that level.” When she was around 11 years old, Lee said her father introduced her and her sister

to golf with the intentions of it becoming a family sport. “I didn’t really expect too much of golf, but then my sister and I kind of picked it up a bit more naturally than others,” Lee said. “We’ve been enjoying it and started to do competitive golf. From then on it was kind of like, ‘Oh, get a scholarship to go play in the states.’” The Buckeyes completed the first half of their schedule on Oct. 25. Lee averaged a score of 75 in her nine rounds played and contributed four scores out of six rounds to the team total when in the OSU lineup. Lee said she is still adjusting to collegiate time management, but she knows what she needs to work on when the Buckeyes resume play in the spring. “From the fall season, we’ve all taken away things that we need to work on with GOLF CONTINUES ON 7
