Downloading illegally has consequences Companies monitor piracy at OSU KRISTA MCCOMB Lantern reporter mccomb.@osu.edu
But the man who found him knew seems to have known what he was seeing. John Allen, an Ohioan, an OSU fan and a then-future OSU graduate himself, put the pieces together when he saw the small band of silver around deceased Nosker’s finger. It told him all he needed to know about the man he had found: 1939 Big Ten Champions: The Ohio State Buckeyes. ——————— Born in 1919 and a of Upper Arlington, William Nosker — or, as he was more commonly known, Bill — came to OSU after being the captain of the UA Golden Bear football team during his senior year of high school. The locally rooted man eventually made his way onto the Buckeye football team of coach Francis Schmidt — the man whose famous quip about the University of Michigan’s football team putting their pants on one leg at a time eventually led to the creation of
If you’ve been downloading music illegally on campus, you might want to think again — there are companies watching. While OSU’s wireless Internet is commonly used by OSU students to study, it’s also often abused. Pirating is an issue that OSU has to deal with, although a spokeswoman from the Office of the Chief Information Officer said the office does not supervise what students are looking up. “We do not monitor students’ Internet traffic. We do monitor anything that accesses known dangerous websites that would indicate that a computer is compromised (web based botnets, for instance), but we aren’t watching what sites people go to,” said Katharine Keune, a spokeswoman for the OCIO, in an email. One fourth-year student, who wished to remain anonymous because of his illegal downloading in the past, said being on OSU wireless does not affect his online habits. “I’ve never been caught, but I’ve pirated for about five or six years fairly heavily,” he said. Although the student said he stopped pirating about eight months ago, he said he didn’t only download items, including music and movies, illegally on OSU’s wireless, but over other Wi-Fi as well. And he’s not the only one he knows who has pirated various types of media. “I know two people who were caught and accused of pirating. One was warned by OSU Wireless that their activity had been detected. The other is off campus and is in an initial legal battle with the content owner,” he said. He said the student in legal trouble is currently one of his roommates and the other student received an email from OSU saying that he would have to discontinue pirating or face prosecution and loss of service. Keune said the most common “bad” thing students are doing online is downloading and sharing copyrighted material, such as songs or movies. She said external companies monitor for the illegal activity. “If they determine the offender is on OSU IP space, they send an infringement notice to OSU, at which point we look up the user that had that IP address at the time,” Keune said. Keune said if it’s a student, the Office of Student Life has a process for dealing with the situation, and if it’s faculty or staff, the local IT staff is notified and departments deal with it through their own processes. “The OCIO identifies to Student Life Technology Services … the individual whose wireless account was logged in when the material was shared,” Student Life spokesman David Isaacs said in an email. The SLTS then contacts the user by email and explains the details of the offense and provides instructions for removing the material and the software used to share with others. So far this year there have been 343 first infringements, Isaacs said. Second-time infringements result in another email from SLTS with the necessary

Redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett (16) attempts a pass during a game against Indiana on Nov. 22 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 42-27.
Ohio State looks to The Game after defeating Indiana, 42-27 JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu One thing was for sure after Ohio State completed a 42-27 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers. The Buckeyes (10-1, 7-0) had clinched an appearance in the Big Ten title game, but there was one more piece of unfinished business. “On to that team up north,” senior tight end Jeff Heuerman said after the game. The Buckeyes struggled for the majority of the game against the Hoosiers, rallying to score half of their points in the fourth quarter, but OSU coach Urban Meyer said he is looking at the performance as a positive. “I shared with our players what a great place to play where you win a conference or a division championship, you put 500 some yards on the board, you still feel like you didn’t play very well,” he said after the game. “No place else you’d rather play or coach that you have high expectations.” Those expectations now turn to the 111th meeting of the Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines, as the rivals are set to face off Saturday at
Ohio Stadium. Michigan holds a 58-45-6 edge over the Buckeyes in history of The Game. Junior defensive lineman Adolphus Washington said following the Indiana game, however, that the Buckeyes would enjoy the win for 24 hours before turning their attention to the Wolverines. “Always celebrate a victory. I’m glad we got the victory. Now, we’re on top of the Big Ten East,” Washington said. “We’ll celebrate for a day, but now we have to get back to work to get ready for the team up north.” OSU sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott had a different tone following the win over Indiana, though, as he said his focus instantly would be on Michigan. “Immediately after the game. It is a different week. We hate that school up there,” he said. Elliott went as far as to not answer a reporter’s question because the reporter said the word “Michigan.” “You’re not going to say that in our house,” Elliott said. OSU redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett, who has never played in the rivalry game, said after the win over Indiana that he had to learn about the game when he arrived in Columbus.
RECORD SETTER Redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett set his 4th school record in 2 weeks when he completed his 31st touchdown pass of the season against Indiana. Barrett broke the record previously set by Troy Smith during his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 2006. “I knew it was big, but coming from Texas, it was Texas and Oklahoma. I went to that game being recruited. I really didn’t have anything on the team up north and Ohio State,” Barrett said. “It was a lot to learn. It’s a deep hate for those guys. Not just the players, but more the fans.” Barrett was on the sidelines for last year’s game however, and added he has a good feel for the rivalry now, especially after seeing former Buckeye lineman Marcus Hall get ejected after a fight on the field. “I was looking at that like ‘let’s just please

Nosker: the man behind the dorm GRANT MILLER Copy chief miller.5617@osu.edu A ring. A bond between individuals or a commemoration of an achievement — a ring can symbolize either. It’s not often, however, that a single piece of jewelry can serve as a reminder of a life lived quite like it did for one American soldier. A few years before that soldier entered the military, the young airman was undoubtedly one of the most recognizable men on the campus of Ohio State University — he participated in student government, honor societies and competed as a member of the football team for three seasons. But as of Aug. 15, 1944, the most important thing he had been involved in was World War II. At zero two thirty hours, military time, he took up his spot in a B-24 Liberator as an observer, taking off
from San Pancrazio in southern Italy with his pilot, bound for a bombing raid in southwest France. But they didn’t make it. The plane crashed on takeoff. Medics were quickly sent to retrieve the bodies — or remains — of the two men, but darkness combined with exploded ammunition, fuel and a terrible fire made even identification nearly impossible. But then a member of the search party noticed something on the fallen observer’s finger: a ring. That led him to the identity of the man who lay before him. His name was William Conklin Nosker, and it would’ve been difficult to find anyone on the OSU campus in the late 1930s who hadn’t heard of him. Even now, his name is familiar among OSU students who lived in a residence hall named after him — a building now in its final days. But this wasn’t Columbus — it was war, and he was one of the millions of people to lose their lives in one of civilization’s greatest conflicts.
Columbus shops collaborate to create coffee trail CHELSEA SPEARS Multimedia editor spears.116@osu.edu For the love of coffee. That’s what it all brews down to on the Columbus Coffee Trail. “We all love coffee and we all love each other’s coffee,” said Mick Evans, co-owner of the Short North’s One Line Coffee and co-founder of the Columbus Coffee Trail. And it’s because of that love that a total of 12 Columbus coffee shops owned by seven “competing” companies have teamed up to make the Columbus Coffee Trail. The concept of the trail is relatively simple: customers pick up a card at one of the participating stores and then buy a drink or food item at four or more locations. At each stop, customers get their
cards stamped, which can then be redeemed for a Columbus Coffee T-shirt. Every store falls within a roughly 1.5-mile distance of another stop along the trail, with several found on High Street in the Short North. “It’s been wildly popular,” Evans said. “More locals are doing it than visitors, and I’m glad the local coffee scene is experiencing something different.” In fact, it’s been so popular that Evans said Thursday they’re currently out of coffee trail cards and are waiting on new ones to arrive, adding that they should be in “any day now.” In the first week of the trail alone — which began on Sept. 29 to coincide with National Coffee Day — Evans said about 40 people claimed T-shirts. “It was an immediate response,” he said. “We’ve had plenty of new customers and there is at least a
new customer in here (One Line) every couple of days inquiring about the coffee trail.” Participating stores include Café Brioso, Mission Coffee Co., Impero Coffee, One Line Coffee, Boston Stoker, several different Cup O’ Joe and Stauf’s stores and eventually The Roosevelt Coffeehouse, which has yet to open its doors. Even though the majority of the stores are owned by different companies and they’re all technically competitors, Evans said it’s not hurting any of their businesses. “There are plenty of coffee drinkers for our businesses,” he said. “We’re basically just swapping customers.” Kenny Sipes is the founder of the future nonprofit The Roosevelt Coffeehouse, which aims to raise money to fight hunger, unclean water, human trafficking and
