Student safety: JEREMY SAVITZ Oller Reporter savitz.3@osu.edu The arrest numbers for the Columbus Division of Police were low for the summer, which is a reason Ohio State has continued funding the Community Crime Patrol and launched Operation Safeguard.

Operation Safeguard allows student officers from the Student Safety Service to conduct nightly patrols in neighborhoods east of North High Street every day with extended hours on Friday and Saturday.

The CCP is a group of citizen patrollers working to increase safety in Columbus neighborhoods.

Equipped with flashlights, twoway radios and their training, CCP patrollers deter criminals, build neighborhood awareness of crime prevention techniques, assist in the apprehension of suspects and provide first aid when needed. There are currently 35-40 patrollers in five near-campus neighborhoods, according to the CCP website.

There were 47 reported robberies near OSU and two arrests over a 107-day period last summer, according to the Columbus Police’s unofficial web portal as of Oct. 22.

This equates to a 4.2 percent arrest rate for the area, while the U.S. arrest average for robberies in 2014 was 29.6 percent, according to website Statista. The East North

Central Midwest region of the U.S. sat at 21.7 percent, according to the FBI. The CCP receives $100,000 annually from OSU, said Dan Hedman, spokesman for the Office of Administration and Planning.

“We have historically offered financial assistance to CCP because of its commitment to enhancing the safety of students, faculty and staff calling the University District home,” he said.

Despite the annual $100,000 donation, Ellen Moore Griffin, the executive director of CCP, said she thinks this needs to be increased.

From 1990 to 2001, the CCP received $75,000 per year from OSU, and from 2002 onward, they

The Ohio State Parents Fund made a donation to OSU Student Safety Services that funded the purchase of two new vehicles to enhance safety resources for students and provide more reliable rides.

The donation of about $60,000 bought two 2016 Ford Explorers as well as the lights and radios that allow Student Safety Service to communicate directly with the police, said Sean Bolender, Student Safety Service program coordinator. “(Parents Fund) is a big supporter and we’re immensely grateful for them for being able to see the need to have a program like Student Safety Service on campus and then take action and do something about it to make our vehicles more reliable and dependable for students on campus,” Bolender said.

Parents Fund uses donations from parents of current OSU students as well as alumni to advance the overall well-being and experiences that the students have on campus, according to its website.

“Seeing other university departments commit to safety is great to see that that culture is there,” Bolender said. “We’re not butting heads. There’s a lot of collaboration that goes on inside of OSU to make sure students are staying safe.”

Parents Fund donated money in the past for Student Safety Service to purchase two Subaru SUVs. The safety service now has two 2016 Ford Explorers, four Subaru SUVs and three 2006 Dodge Caravans to transport students around campus.

Major overhaul to OSU Mobile app CLAYTON EBERLY Lantern reporter eberly.72@osu.edu

New features of the updated OSU app.

The Ohio State University app underwent major updates in October, adding several new features aimed to increase convenience around campus.

On Oct. 20, the app received a new map system, which allows users to see multiple bus routes at once, pins on the buildings where they have class, parking garages and their capacity, and bank and ATM locations. And now there

is an option that lets users access certain information on the app with their fingerprint.

Benjamin Hancock, the associate director of web and mobile for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, said that this is probably the largest group of updates the app has ever had.

“It allows you to do it all in one place,” Hancock said. “Certain locations are labeled on the map now whereas before you kind of had to dig for them.”

Hancock said that he and his co-workers in the OCIO focus on

delivering utility to the students.

“At the beginning of the year, we probably have 80-90 percent of the student base using the app because everybody’s trying to find out where they’re going,” Hancock said. “We look at how we can get information to them because we want to provide things that students are going to use.”

When a user opens the app for the first time after updating, a landing page appears to inform them of what has been changed. This page displays what the new updates are and where to find them.

Hancock said that the app’s usage keeps increasing each year, but he also said that it might just be because of the increasing number of students with smartphones.

App usage has increased approximately 10 percent since this time last year, and the amount of users on the first day of classes has grown from about 28,000 in 2013 to almost 40,000 in 2015, according to OCIO data provided by Hancock.

Mitigation Plan to reduce natural hazard risks WILLIAM KOSILESKI Lantern reporter kosileski.2@osu.edu

OSU aims to reduce hazardous effects of extreme weather, A new Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan will go into effect at Ohio flooding and utility failure State in 2016 with the goal of increasing safety on campus.

The $600,000 project, which is in the study phase, is being developed

by Michael Baker International. It will create a natural-hazards mitigation plan and a flood-mitigation and implementation plan to identify the potential natural and manmade hazards to OSU, and to develop a plan to alleviate these hazards.

“The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is our top priority,” Justin Moss, Administration and Planning spokesman, said in an email. “This plan will allow the university to have a comprehensive plan in place to mitigate these potential hazards.”

The plan is looking to reduce hazardous effects of severe summer and winter storms, seismic events,

flooding and utility failure, according to Moss.

The planning began in March 2015 and is projected to be completed around the end of 2016, Moss said.

Initial funding of $200,000 was approved in Oct. 2014 for an all-natural hazards-mitigation plan, according to Board of Trustee meeting notes.

“Also, an additional $400,000 was recently approved by the Board of Trustees for this study for a detailed flood response plan and additional recommendations of flood-protection equipment,” Moss said.

The total budget for this project will be paid with university funds,

according to meeting notes.

In addition, as grant funds become available, Moss said that the Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan will make OSU to be eligible for federal funding.

With the completion of this plan close to a year away, student Brandon Sienkiewicz, a second-year in applied math, said he thinks that the plan will have an impact on campus over time.

“Over a long period of time, I would say that it will protect campus. But over a short period, I don’t think it will be as noticeable because Ohio’s weather is pretty mild,” he said. “I do think it is something that is good to have, though, just in case something does

happen.”

Another student, Allyson Brady, a second-year in earth science, said she thinks that OSU is using its money wisely by developing this plan to protect the campus community.

“I think it is a good plan to have.

Just having this as a precautionary plan is a good idea,” she said.

“Ohio State spends a lot of money elsewhere, so spending money on something that will protect the students is especially worth it.”

Even though some regions of the world might be more susceptible than others, natural hazards are always a threat, even to OSU. Floodplain manager of the City of Columbus and OSU alumna Renee VanSickle provided some insight about the potential of flooding to the Columbus area.

“There is always a chance that there will be a flood in Columbus, but there is no way to know. It all depends on Mother Nature,” she said. “It is always a good idea for

people to be protected and to be aware that there can be a flood.”

VanSickle said that both rainfall and snowmelt are potential factors that might contribute to a flood in Columbus.

OSU’s Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan is being put into place to reduce the severity of not just flooding, but other natural hazards in order to protect the OSU community.

“Facilities Operations and Development, along with our Emergency Management and planning departments, are committed to enhancing efforts with the goal of keeping the campus community and its buildings safe,” Moss said.

received $100,000 per year, she said in an email.

“As costs have risen over the past 25 years, we have been forced to cut patrols in the off-campus area due to the lack of increased funding from OSU,” Griffin said.

“We used to deploy two to three teams per night in the University District six nights per week. We now have one team out four nights per week.”

This isn’t something that Griffin or the CCP are taking lightly.

“We have asked for increased funding from OSU for the past eight years and have

During the last year, offcampus crime was down 20 percent, Hedman said, which he credits to CCP, Operation Safeguard, police and vigilant residents. been denied any increase due to monies being used for other OSU crime-prevention programs,” Griffin said. “I would argue that money spent on a variety of crime-prevention efforts in the University District is the best approach.”

Some think that the city of Columbus needs to increase funding to the Columbus Police, but that isn’t necessarily a problem, according to Sgt. Rich Weiner of the Public Information Unit.

“The Columbus Division of Police holds weekly crime strategy meetings with all bureau commanders and some supporting staff,” Weiner said. “They discuss crime pattern advisory incidents in relation to all police precincts throughout central Ohio.”

Weiner said the city allocates money for the Community Safety Initiative, which totaled $579,000 and resulted in the following statistics for summer 2015, between May 31 and Aug. 22.

-396 felony arrests and 431 misdemeanor arrests -928 writs served -104 firearms recovered, a four-year high -Approximately 9,195 grams of narcotics confiscated, a four-year high for crack and

powder cocaine -11,081 documented positive citizen contacts, a five-year high -45 stolen vehicles recovered, a five-year high -$96,948 in currency seized Despite the funding and initiatives, some people still don’t feel safe.

Mark Skinner, Dennison Place block watch captain, said he has tried to tackle this issue head-on, sending multiple emails to various individuals in Columbus, including to University President Michael Drake.

“The saddest part is we aren’t talking millions of dollars here,” Skinner said in an email to Drake. “A couple hundred thousand dollars would most likely restore the number of teams patrolling the area seven nights each week.”

Nancy Eisele, a fourth-year in marketing and a victim of a robbery over the summer, said she still carries the weight of what happened.

“I feel more vulnerable,” Eisele said. “I’m a pretty dominant personality and always have thought I could really handle anything.

I used to walk home alone all the time, I’m a confident person and I know it shows when I walk, but after the incident it has kind of made me second guess myself. I don’t feel safe, ever.”

On top of the annual contributions to CCP, Hedman talked about Operation Safeguard, which started in Autumn 2014 and Spring 2015 semesters.

“The program continued this academic year as well and financially supports Ohio State students through employment by utilizing Student Safety Service officers to help provide the police with feet on the ground and extra eyes and ears to reduce crime,” Hedman said. “These students patrol, in vehicles and on foot, seven days a week during evening hours.”

During the last year, off-campus crime was down 20 percent, Hedman said, which he credits to CCP, Operation Safeguard, police and vigilant residents.

While there were 47 reported robberies off-campus during summer, Hedman said he thinks it is important to note that doesn’t signify the numbers for on-campus.

“With the recent release of our Annual Security and Annual Fire Safety Report (Clery Report), there were only eight robberies reported on campus during the 2014

calendar year,” Hedman said. “In addition, burglary on campus continues to steadily decrease with just four in 2014.”

Still with all being done, Eisele said she doesn’t think OSU is doing enough.

“I don’t think OSU is doing a good enough job, especially just making people feel safe in general,” Eisele said. “I think more blue lights off campus would help. I know at a lot of universities this is a major selling point.”

Getting a legal leg-up with Student Legal Services MICHAEL HUSON Campus Editor huson.4@osu.edu For some students, committing to a rental agreement will be the first time they will be required to sign a legally binding contract.

Although a move off campus signifies to many students a step toward independence, Ohio State students do not have to take that step alone.

Student Legal Services can walk students through the renting process with legal counseling, offering advice on topics ranging from sublease contracts to security deposits.

These services are covered by the first term enrollment charges for all students taking classes on campus.

The service, located near the corner of East 11th Avenue and High Street, is a nonprofit and functions independently from uni-

versity offices and departments, offering full confidentiality to student clients.

Molly Hegarty, the managing director of Student Legal Services, said the office counsels through advice, representation, education and resources.

“We are more than just attorneys, we are

attorneys for students,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is not only represent and advise them when there is an issue, but also proactively educate students.”

Hegarty said the most common advice sought by students is lease reviews. With many students not aiming for law school, the

complicated and potentially ambiguous language in a contract can be intimidating and overwhelming.

And with that contract’s ability to hold students to a long and expensive commitment, SLS encourages students to stop by and sit down with an attorney for a line-byline review of the terms, explaining to students their rights and responsibilities under Ohio law.

“We really want (students) to know what they’re getting into,” she said. “There are some lease terms they might not be familiar with, they may not understand the ramifications of what it means to sign a lease with five other people … we’re not trying to get them to not sign a lease; we just want them to know what the lease says and what it’s going to mean for them.”

OPINION

‘Stuck up, entitled, just ‘Why do you have to pay for friends?’ here for the party’ BROOKE PROFITT Lantern reporter profitt.18@osu.edu

There are so many words to describe the preconceived notions people have about Greek life. The news never shows you our philanthropy events, our bonding of sisterhoods and brotherhoods or us volunteering our time to help others. What they do show is the few times that hazing occurs, or the occasional member that drinks too much and ends up in the hospital. Since this is all the public sees, Greek life gets a bad reputation.

Going into sorority recruitment as a sophomore, I had already been in college for a whole year and able to build an opinion of Greek life. Being a transfer student, I knew I needed to join something in order to get involved at my new school, and joining a sorority was always a priority for me in college.

I had an opinion, and it wasn’t necessarily a bad one, just a wrong one.

To me, sororities were all about having fun, going out five nights a week and hanging out with the most popular fraternity on campus. I didn’t look down on those as a bad thing, but I had the notion that sororities were strictly a social club.

Now that I am an active sorority member,

I see that it is so much more.

One of the many benefits of being in a sorority is the house. Even if you don’t live in the house, it’s yours to use in many different ways.

The whole chapter goes to meetings at the house every Monday, which is a great way to see everyone and catch up after the weekend.

Food is provided for every meal by our amazing chef, and even members who don’t live in are able to eat a few meals a week there.

It’s also a great study spot, especially during midterms and finals week. You don’t have to worry about finding a spot at the crowded library because you can go anywhere in the house to find a quiet spot or friends to study with.

And, sure, there are plenty of themed parties, football tailgates and date parties, but there are also so many opportunities that these organizations have to offer.

Our philanthropy is Service for Sight.

Each year, each member spends at least ten hours at the Ohio State School for the Blind, acting as aids for the students or helping out around the classroom. Being at OSSB is such a humbling experience, and something that I would have never gotten to be a part of without Delta Gamma.

LUKE CAPUTO For The Lantern caputo.37@osu.edu

When applying to colleges back home in Gainesville, Florida, I researched different schools’ cultures to the best of my ability in the hopes of finding a university that matched my interests.

Growing up by the University of Florida, I accepted the depiction of Greek life that I saw from media and popular culture, like the rowdy and flashy fraternity boys from “Neighbors” with Seth Rogen, or the picky sorority girls from the TV series, “Greek.”

This attitude led me to choose The Ohio State University because I saw that a small percentage of undergraduates participated in Greek life.

I went about my first semester surrounded by enthusiastic freshmen who were beyond excited to get out of their parents’ homes.

Countless community activities were presented right in my hallway, making it too easy to try different things out.

Beginning second semester, a mentor from back home asked me to check out his old Greek chapter, and finally, I put aside my assumptions and decided it couldn’t hurt for the night.

Within a matter of hours, I met a group of individuals who didn’t seem to fit the mold at all. Pre-med students, skateboarders and football players all seemed to share memories and some kind of connection.

I was convinced by this bond and accepted my bid on the spot. The next few months turned out to be more beneficial than I could have expected and gave me a friend group that seems close, like family.

This might seem extreme, but let me explain the benefits I have received since making this decision. First off, I have the opportunity to live in a safe home with all my best friends around me in an environment that encourages learning and independence. Not to mention we get to have some fun.

I don’t think there is a better way for a group of individuals to learn leadership skills and teamwork than spending lots of time with a diverse friends, and setting lofty philanthropy and social goals to push themselves further into society and build connections.

Our chapters and alumni stretch far across the globe. Fraternities even reward individuals for merit-based accomplishments, far from society’s view of them rewarding the most immoral characters. Greek life humbles you and gives you a platform on which to develop into an adult, like the classes we attend weekly strive to give us.

It becomes a different type of learning when your peers support and help you. So, you ask again why I would pay for friends, and I would say surrounding myself with a place to grow as an individual is a priceless convenience.

said she thinks it’s a good idea to make sure both tenants and landlords are on the same page. Landlords might not be bad people, but that doesn’t necessarily make them good business people.

And the service can even assist students who only have a vague idea of how to kick off their off-campus housing search, offering pre-lease appointments that can help students know where and what to look for in the off-campus housing market.

Matters concerning security deposits are another popularly addressed issue at SLS, with students seeking advice on issues ranging from check amount disputes on returned deposits to not having received a returned deposit or explanation at all, Hegarty said.

Under Ohio law, a former tenant is entitled to a returned security deposit or an itemized list of deductions and a total of withholdings from a landlord within 30 days of giving a forwarding address and returning keys.

Hegarty said even a dispute of smaller amounts on a returned deposit is worth investigating through SLS. “It’s at least worth it to come into our office to talk about your options because that is 45 minutes or less or your time,” she said.

“It’s worth coming in for that initial consultation to find out where you stand.”

But a renter’s best move to secure a returned deposit might be a preemptive one by

documenting the state of a house or apartment before the first leg of a futon touches down.

Hegarty said SLS suggests immediately taking photographs or video of damage and filling out one SLS’s move-in checklists, even if it complements one provided by your landlord, so that renters have evidence in the event of a future discrepancy. Photos and another rundown of the checklist at move-out can also provide comparative evidence.

“We understand the whole picture of a student really well. We understand that this is a small subset of what else is going on in your life. If we can take away that little part and help you and free you up for everything else that’s important, that’s important for us,” she said.

Hegarty said Student Legal Services sees about 4,000 students annually, offering services regarding civil, traffic and criminal misdemeanor issues, and has increased over the past five years with positive word-ofmouth.

“I use it late at night on my way home from the library, usually between the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.,” she said.

Holbrook said that Student Safety Service is the best way for her to stay safe when she walks to her home off campus and she is happy that there is an organization out there that continues to help provide safety for her as a student.

Heather Olson, a second-year in neuroscience, said she is already benefiting from recent updates to the app.

“I use the CABS buses almost every day,” Olson said. “Sometimes I need to switch routes at a certain stop, so seeing both of my routes at the same time helps me plan my trips easily.”

Olson also said she noticed that the app wasn’t crashing as often as before the updates.

“We average about 99.5 percent crash-free or so and if we get below that, we get concerned,” Hancock said. “Usually before that happens, we get feedback about it though.”

Hancock said the goals are to serve all of their users, be reliable and available when they are needed and make sure there is nothing being under-utilized on the app.

“The driver is feedback. We take all that stuff very seriously,” Hancock said. “Our lead developer, Chris Fish, reads every feedback message we get and if there’s a dot number, he responds.”

There are more plans in the works for the next set of updates, according to Hancock.

“Hopefully early next year, you’ll be able to see all of the dining locations on campus and be able to filter based on what your dietary preferences are,” Hancock said. “If you’re vegan, vegetarian or anything like that, it’ll make your life a lot easier.”

Bolender said Student Safety Service offers between 20,000 and 25,000 rides per year to OSU students, and without the donations from Parents Fund, Student Safety Service would not be able to have as many reliable vehicles and give as many rides.

ways to keep students using the app throughout the semester, rather than just at the beginning and end when students are using the app to check their grades.

“We’re trying to identify what’s going to keep students engaged,” Hancock said. “Carmen attachments, schedules and grades are things we know students use every day.”

Hancock also said that within the next couple weeks, students will be able to view their class schedules with Apple Watch.

There are also opportunities for scholarships and networking opportunities for internships and careers. Certain events are held throughout the school year specifically for Greek life members to network with employers. Also, the Greek community is very dedicated to upholding a certain GPA. Good grades are not an afterthought to the Greek community; they are a requirement.

You can get volunteer opportunities, career opportunities and academic help through many different student organizations, but no bond is deeper than that between sisters. So often the cliché “not four years but for life” gets tossed around the Greek community. It may be cliché but it is absolutely true.

I know that the friends I have made in just the short two years I have been in Delta Gamma will be the friends I have for life.

They are my support system, my cheerleaders and the sisters I never had.

THEATRE OSU Department of Theatre is set to open its performance of the Henrik Ibsen play “An Enemy of the People” on Thursday. ON PAGE 7

Exhibit features past political cartoons ABIGAIL SECKER Lantern reporter secker.1@osu.edu

Ohio State’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum offers visitors an artistic and humorous glimpse into 19th-century U.S. politics and communication during the turn of the century world war.

The museum, located in Sullivant Hall, will be showcase the exhibits “What Fools These Mortals Be! The Story of Puck” and “Seeing the Great War.” “The Story of Puck” features a collection of political cartoons from the 19th-century humor magazine Puck, while “Seeing the Great War” depicts the evolution of communication in America during World War I. “The Story of Puck” highlights the library’s extensive collection of original issues of Puck, America’s first influential humor magazine published from 1877 to 1918.

Decorated with editorial cartoons and political satire from cover to cover, Puck offers visitors an entertaining glimpse into 19th-century America, said Jenny Robb, curator and associate professor of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum.

are about things that are a little bit more obscure or maybe some of the things that we don’t know that much about now, but some of the cartoons are about issues that we are still confronting today.”

Robb said visitors should appreciate the pieces for their historic and artistic value.

“I hope (visitors) agree that these are beautiful works of art,” Robb said. “The printing method that Puck pioneered was chromolithography. So for the first time they were able to print these cartoons in full color, and they’re really spectacular.”

“Seeing the Great War,” which features clothing from OSU’s Historic Costume and Textiles Collection and music and film materials from the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, in addition to cartoons, focuses on communication and information management during World War I rather than chronological events, said Lucy Caswell, curator for “Seeing the Great War” and founding curator for The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library.

The exhibit looks closely at the workings of the Committee on Public Information, an independent government agency created

to influence public opinion during World War I, Caswell said.

“Because the Committee on Public Information managed the voluntary censorship that was practiced after the U.S.A. entered the war in April 1918, the imagery across print genres — editorial cartoons, comic strips, posters — is very similar, and this reinforces the uniformity of how contemporary people viewed the conflict in Europe,” Caswell said in an email.

Caswell said the exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to observe the standardization of public opinion at the time of World War I relative to the diversity in opinions seen today.

“Information management is a current topic of much public debate,” she said. “I hope that visitors to the exhibit will reflect on the uniformity of public opinion during the First World War, which is a great contrast to the wide divisions in American public opinion today.”

“What Fools These Mortals Be! The Story of Puck” and “Seeing the Great War” will be on display in the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum in Sullivant Hall until Jan. 24. Admission is free.

Play depicts timeless issues SADE TAVAREZ Lantern reporter tavarez.4@osu.edu It seems that even centuries back society has always had to deal with environmental issues, as evidenced by the upcoming play, “An Enemy of the People.”

“An Enemy of the People” opens Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The play will held in the Thurber Theatre, located in the Drake Performance and Event Center.

Lesley Ferris is the director for “An Enemy of the People,” originally written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen during the 19th century.

The play tells the story of a Norwegian town’s doctor, Thomas Stockmann, and how he discovered that the town’s baths were contaminated and were causing the townspeople to get sick. Stockmann tries to warn the people about the dangers of the baths but is constantly being sabotaged by his brother, who is also the mayor of the town, and by the press. By the time the doctor warns everyone, they all turn against him and his family. Still, Stockmann upholds the truth and bares the burden of being “an enemy of the people.”

Ferris said Ibsen was known for writing plays with women as the main characters, which was not the norm during the 19th century, so to have a man in the central role was different for Ibsen.

Even though the play was written in the 19th century, the dialogue has been updated so the audience can easily follow along with what the actors are saying.

“The majority of (Ibsen’s) plays feel like they could have been written today. This

particular translation of version that we’re doing is very recent,” Ferris said.

The play also has some intense scenes when dealing with a difficult issue.

“In this particular one, there are comic moments, and some people in the day thought it was a comedy. The playwright deliberately begins it like that but then shows how quickly it transforms into a tragedy,” Ferris said.

Zachary Meyer is a MFA candidate in acting and plays the role of Stockmann.

“My character sees it more as an ethical and moral issue than a financial issue. That’s kind of where the conflict goes throughout the rest of the play,” Meyer said.

Throughout the play, tensions between the brothers grow over their different views on how the contaminated baths should be dealt with.

“There is a constant conflict between Thomas and Peter Stockmann, the mayor, and how the issue should be handled,” Meyer said. “For a while there, I don’t think Peter disagrees with the fact that something’s wrong, but he disagrees with how it should be handled in the sense that ‘We don’t want to panic everybody, we don’t want to bankrupt the town and we don’t want to scare away people from coming to this town.’”

Meyer added that people have different motives behind issues like this that color the way the issue is being debated and talked about.

Tickets are $15 for students, $20 for general admission, and can be purchased at the Drake Performance and Event Center.

School of Music features jazz performances IAN BAILEY Lantern reporter bailey.615@osu.edu The School of Music will feature a major performance in Weigel Hall Thursday evening as the Jazz Combo program puts on its premiere collage concert. For the first time on campus, multiple jazz combos will come together and perform their favorite styles, playing interpretations of classic jazz pieces as well as compositions prepared by students and faculty.

The Jazz Combo uses the semester to prepare for the concert. Ultimately, the final result of their work this semester has led to its creation.

Shawn Wallace, an associate professor and director of jazz studies for the School of Music, will be directing a performance in the concert and notes the significance this concert has to the program.

“It’s important that we give the university at large opportunities to come and see some of the exciting things that we’re doing in the School of Music,” Wallace said. “These performances are exciting opportunities to

present music that we all love to a receptive audience.”

For the premiere run, the concert will cover a wide range of jazz styles, including Latin, fusion, New Orleans traditional and post-bop. The combos will play selections from several well-known artists such as Freddie Hubbard, Duke Ellington, Wayne Shorter and Moacir Santos.

Holding true to the School of Music’s concert style, Wallace said the program includes arrangements by students as well.

“Combo directors and students provide musical arrangements, which may include original compositions as well as interpretations of music that is indicative of the musical style that the combo represents,” Wallace said.

While there is a lot of preparation put into these arrangements, style selections and rehearsals, the trademark of the jazz genre is free-form, which Wallace said is part of the concert as well.

“Everything is rehearsed and notated to put on a smooth show. However, in jazz, improvisation is a regular part of every performance, and we will reflect that in our work

as well,” he said.

Tamara Morris, publicity and public relations coordinator for the School of Music, said she is pleased that this premiere has come together for the school and excited that the students get to showcase their work.

“The Jazz Combos Collage concert is a new one for us, and it’s great that it will feature most of our smaller combos,” Morris said. “The directors and students are deeply passionate about the music, and that will reflect in their performance.”

The Jazz Combo program is open to all students of any major with placement in the program based on audition. Rehearsals happen twice a week and are evaluated during the studio recital series, occurring on Monday mornings in the Hughes Hall Auditorium. The feedback from these evaluations allows the combos to improve.

The concert will take place in the Weigel Hall Auditorium on Thursday at 8 p.m. For more information, visit the School of Music’s events page.

OSU alumnus’ new CD aims to find American value YUÈ WÚ Lantern reporter wu.@1710.osu.edu Music has often been thought of as a medium that often helps people discover their true identity. Jazz violinist and OSU alumnus Christian Howes has created an album, “American Spirit,” to help people “find their true voice” of what it means to be an American.

As his 15th CD, “American Spirit” includes 11 pieces created by different musical instruments, such as violin, bass, drum, piano and organ.

“The nature of the conversation of America today in all the media is a lot of polarization. But I think it is really important for us to try to focus on what we all share in common,” Howes said. “I think it will change the nature of all of our conversations by focusing on the most positive things we share.”

Howes said he believes that creativity, innovation, tolerance, diversity and perseverance are the most important values shared in the United States.

“I also want other people to think about their own definitions. It kind of just (goes) through the process of engaging in the conversation about what it (means) to be an American,” he said. “We want to find a diverse range of perspective(s) of America.”

The CD contains a selection of songs from different historical points.

“The purposes is to inspire people, to reflect upon and to celebrate and express what it means to different people to be Americans and have a conversation about that,” Howes said. “We (my composing team) want to find different ways to relate

the history of American culture through our selections of songs.”

Howes graduated from OSU in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. His experience in learning philosophy stimulates him to relate identity to music.

“In philosophy, I really learned to think a lot more about questions of identity, and I am trying to reflect that musically,” he said.

Douglas Droste, the artistic director of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra and the director of orchestras at Ball State University, said Howes’ capability of reflecting his life experiences through his performing distinguishes him from other violinists.

“Chris’ life experiences are in his playing; you can just hear it. The highs and the lows. It’s all there. He speaks through his violin in a way that not many can,” Droste said in an email. “I have heard bits and pieces of the new album. It is classic Christian Howes: impeccable technique, exquisite phrasing and a soulful sound.”

Ranked as the No.1 “Rising Star” violinist in the Downbeat Critics Poll in 2011, Howes is known for his jazz performance by using the violin.

“You don’t have many violinists that are jazz violinists, and then of jazz violinists, you (do not have) not very many of them have the kind of technical fluency than he has,” said Shawn Wallace, the chair of jazz studies at OSU. As a musician and as an improvisation educator, Howes said he believes that current music education has a lack of multiculturalism. He said that people tend to be specialists, and they can be very ignorant of things outside their special disciplines.

“Part of my vision is to show that the

system of musical education should not be segregated. They should be more integrated,” he said. “I think musical education needs to be changed to become more inclusive and broader.”

As a multi-instrumentalist, Howes encourages students to think out of the box and combine different musical elements.

“Young musicians are often taught in the ‘traditional’ method of learning to read notes early on and then not straying far from written music. Chris’ teaching on improvisation and free thinking is clear, relatable and relevant,” Droste said. “And he has found a way to make this kind of learning not seem so foreign. His clinics with young students on improvisation is second to none, and each time students come away with new ideas, thoughts and methods on how to make great music.”

In 2012, Howes received the Residency Partner Award from Chamber Music America for his educational outreach with school orchestra programs.

“I want to be a part of jazz music, but I also perform classic music, and I also perform folk music and world music,” he said.

“I realized that I could teach other classic musicians, especially about a different way for them to learn music based on what I have learned.”

“American Spirit” was released on Oct. 30 and can be purchased on Howes’ website, as well as Amazon, for under $20.

Smith for the season.

Webb did not appear on OSU’s weekly depth chart, but Meyer indicated during the teleconference that he will see the field against the Golden Gophers.

Meyer also said on Monday that junior H-back Dontre Wilson and redshirt freshman receiver Parris Campbell are questionable on Saturday, while redshirt freshman receiver Johnnie Dixon is out following a knee injury.

Up next After the matchup with Minnesota, OSU is scheduled to head to Champaign, Illinois, for a meeting with the Fighting Illini. Kickoff is slated for either noon or 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 14.

In order to post another win this time around, Wilkinson said teamwork will be critical.

“The most important thing is we have to play together,” Wilkinson said. “Sometimes they take too much on themselves and put too much weight on their individual ability. We just need to rely on each other and play as a team, and the results will take care of themselves.

We have to work hard, which they have.”

OSU and Northwestern are set face off at 10 a.m. on Thursday in Bloomington, Indiana.

What must the Buckeyes do to keep going? Both Prince and Walker believe it will be the work of the entire team as a whole to get the job done.

“All 11 players on the field need to really step up and bring our ‘A’ games,” Prince said. “If we don’t all bring our ‘A’ games then we’re not going to be successful. All of us need to bring what we can to the game and be leaders in our own way.”

Walker echoed Prince’s remarks also stressing the importance of teamwork.

“When you get to a championship level you need all your lines,” Walker said. “You need strong goalkeeping, you need excellent defending from your entire team and you need to be sharp on set pieces. And certainly we need to capitalize on the opportunities we’re given in front of the net.”

The Scarlet Knights have given up only six goals the entire season, which poses as a tough challenge to the Buckeyes.

However, Walker said she sees the obstacle as an intriguing challenge rather than a threat.

“I think anytime that you earn

the opportunity to be in postseason play…I believe that your team exponentially improves because you’re at your height and the quality of what you’re doing,” Walker said. “I think we also, at this point, see some of Rutgers’ weaknesses and want to try to exploit that as well.”

The game will be played at a neutral site, the home of the No. 1 seed Penn State Nittany Lions. The winner of the match will advance to the championship game, which is set for Sunday afternoon.

Friday’s matchup between OSU and Rutgers is set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

Tournament inexperience The last time OSU was in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament — or made the tournament at all — was in 2012.

The Buckeyes enjoyed a run all the way to the championship game that year, beating Nebraska 1-0 in the quarterfinals and Michigan 2-1 in the semifinals.

Their momentum then continued in the championship game against Illinois, as OSU then-senior forward Tiffany Cameron scored twice in less than five minutes in

the second half to lift the Buckeyes to a 2-1 victory and tournament triumph.

Two current Buckeyes started in the championship game as freshmen: goalkeeper Jillian McVicker, who made six saves, and forward Michela Paradiso, who assisted on Cameron’s second goal.

The Buckeyes previously won the Big Ten tournament in 2002 and 2004.

The other side of the bracket Across from OSU and Rutgers is a meeting between top-seeded Penn State and No. 5 seed Michigan for the other spot in the championship game.

The two teams met in the regular-season finale on Oct. 28, with the Nittany Lions grabbing a 3-1 win at home.

OSU lost to Penn State 2-1 on Oct. 24, while the Buckeyes and Wolverines did not meet during the regular season. However, the rivals did meet for a preseason exhibition game on Aug. 12, with the Wolverines grabbing a 3-1 win in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

MEN’S SOCCER OSU captures regular season Big Ten title after 3-1 win over Michigan. Full recap of the game. ONLINE

Ohio State turns back to Jones Semifinal WOMEN’S SOCCER

awaits OSU

RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu

With the one-game suspension of Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett following a Saturday morning drunk-driving citation, the door has opened for redshirt junior Cardale Jones to come off the bench and lead the offense.

It is a situation the Cleveland native is more than familiar with after filling in for the final three games of last season, but not likely one he expected just one game after losing his starting job for the first time.

Still, OSU coach Urban Meyer said he has complete faith in Jones.

“Cardale had a great week of practice last week, he’s engaged, he handled everything like a man,” Meyer said. “He threw for 300 yards a couple weeks ago at a 75 percent clip. He’s 10-0 as a starter.

That’s not even a hesitation.”

Despite Meyer’s confidence in Jones, senior left tackle Taylor Decker said the absence of Barrett could affect the offense for OSU (8-0, 4-0) that was improving each game.

“I think it does affect our momentum,” Decker said. “We were getting J.T. in there more and more and we were improving week to week, but at the same time I don’t think it was just J.T. getting in there that affected our momentum. I think everyone was playing better.”

That start for Jones is set to come on Saturday against visiting Minnesota (4-4, 1-3).

OSU has won eight consecutive meetings with the Golden Gophers, but Decker said OSU expects a very tough matchup with the road team, which is led by the 25th ranked defense in the country.

“It could be one of the toughest games for us thus far this year,” Decker said.

If something were to happen to Jones on Saturday, Meyer said another former starting quarterback would step in: redshirt senior Braxton Miller.

OSU redshirt junior quarterback Cardale Jones (12) runs with the ball during a game against Rutgers on Oct. 24 at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Cardale Jones returns to starting spot vs. Minnesota on Saturday at quarterback for the Buckeyes for three seasons before a shoulder injury and the emergences of Barrett and Jones forced him to switch positions to H-back.

The Huber Heights, Ohio, native is yet to throw a downfield pass this season, but Meyer said the decision to slot him as the backup over redshirt freshman Stephen Collier was an easy one.

“There’s no question that he’s our No. 2 quarterback,” Meyer said.

Meyer said no decision had been made as of Monday as to if Miller would be behind center in the red zone, as Barrett did for the final two weeks of Jones’ original stint as the starter.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

About the Gophers Minnesota’s season has been marked by several strong performances and several duds.

The Golden Gophers put scares in No. 8 TCU in the season opener and, last week, No. 17 Michigan,

losing by six and three points, respectively.

However, a trio of three-point wins over the Mountain West’s Colorado State and the Mid-American Conference’s Kent State and Ohio showed that Minnesota has oftentimes looked better in losses than wins this season.

Minnesota’s interim coach, Tracy Claeys, is set to lead his team for the second consecutive game after stepping in following the sudden retirement of former coach Jerry Kill.

The players rallied around Claeys in his first game, coming within a yard of upsetting Michigan. Meyer said he expects that same passion on the road in Columbus.

“I think that they played their best game (against Michigan),” Meyer said. “They were very inspired, they played tremendous in that game on both sides of the ball against a very good team. So, I think they’re an excellent team.

They’re hitting their stride right

now as well.”

A season ago, Minnesota put up a fight against the Buckeyes in Minneapolis, though OSU came away with a 31-24 victory. Barrett was responsible for 389 yards and four touchdowns in the game.

That contest marked the last time OSU junior running back Ezekiel Elliott failed to rush for over 100 yards, as he finished with 91. The St. Louis native has eclipsed the century mark in 13 consecutive games since.

Webb is back During Tuesday’s Big Ten coaches teleconference, Meyer revealed that sophomore cornerback Damon Webb’s suspension has been lifted and he could return to action on Saturday.

Webb played in each of OSU’s first two games, picking up eight tackles, before being suspended for an undisclosed violation of a team policy before the Buckeyes’ Week 3 game against Northern Illinois.

Webb’s return comes as a necessity for an OSU secondary that has lost junior safety Cam Burrows and, as Meyer also announced on Tuesday, sophomore safety Erick FOOTBALL CONTINUES ON 11

The seventh-seeded Ohio State women’s soccer team (11-5-3, 5-42) is set to head to State College, Pennsylvania, for the semifinal round of the Big Ten tournament.

That semifinal matchup is scheduled against the No. 3 seed Rutgers Scarlet Knights (15-2-2, 7-2-2).

When the Buckeyes and Scarlet Knights met on Oct. 15 in Piscataway, New Jersey, Rutgers triumphed 2-0. However, OSU coach Lori Walker said her team is a much better team now than it was in that game.

“Every game that we’ve played we have not lost the lessons; we’ve improved each time,” Walker said.

“We have learned from the things and mistakes we made against Rutgers. We believe that we fixed some of the things that we didn’t do well or execute well in that game.”

For most of the Buckeyes, this is their first time playing in the Big Ten tournament, including junior forward Nichelle Prince.

“To make it to the (semifinals) is really exciting and we just want to keep going,” Prince said.

Ohio State field hockey is set to face fourth-seeded and No. 17 Northwestern in the opening game of the Big Ten Tournament, where the winner will move on to compete against top-seeded Maryland or eighth-seeded Michigan State.

Northwestern (12-7, 4-4) and OSU last met less than a month ago when they squared off at Buckeye Varsity Field in a game in which the Wildcats scored once in each half. Those two goals were enough to defeat OSU in shutout fashion, 2-0.

OSU hopes to increase offensive pressure this time around, coach Anne Wilkinson said.

“We can’t give up the amount of shots

we’ve given up in the past,” Wilkinson said.

“We haven’t generated enough attacks and been able to sustain them so we need to take more shots and challenge more of these goalkeepers.”

Sophomore forward Morgan Kile said one of the main components going into the tournament is putting all of the pieces together one last time.

“I think the key thing for our team going into the tournament is to put all the skills and things we’ve worked on throughout the season together,” Kile said. “We need to really show Northwestern what we can do out there.”

The Buckeyes will enter the tournament with three players being awarded All-Big Ten honors. Senior co-captains Peanut Johnson and Emma Royce, along with sophomore forward/midfielder Maddy Humphrey,

were bestowed the awards after their efforts this season.

Johnson, Humphrey, Royce and Kile have all registered double-digit points, with Johnson and Humphrey being the fourth-highest scoring duo in the Big Ten this year with 53 total points.

This year will be the Buckeyes’ 20th alltime appearance in the Big Ten tournament.

Thrice they have taken home the Big Ten title. In 2001 and 2010, OSU was a co-champion, while it captured the outright crown in 2006.

The last time OSU and Northwestern squared off against each other in the tournament was in 2013. In that game, Johnson registered a goal and an assist, pushing the Buckeyes to a 3-2 victory against the thenNo. 13 Wildcats.
