UNIFIED KEATON MAISANO For The Lantern maisano.2@osu.edu Sometimes a victory in sports can be accomplished without being ahead on the scoreboard. The Ohio State Department of Recreational Sports has followed the lead of the Special Olympics to empower disabled athletes by integrating unified sports leagues on campus to increase community-building initiatives. The presence of unified sports, an opportunity to bring those with and without intellectual disabilities under the umbrella of sport, is a new addition brought about by Katie Lee, a former graduate student at Ohio State and current director of coaches education and university programs for Special Olympics of Ohio. The university has been active with Special Olympics in the KEATON MAISANO | FOR THE LANTERN

past, as it has hosted the state games since 1972. Marci Shumaker, senior director for administration and programs, said unified leagues is a large initiative in Special Olympics nationally that has been real-

ly well received at Ohio State. “I think with the feedback from the college, the Ohio State students who participated in that program and the joy that it brought to the athletes and their families,” Shumaker said. “It was a no-brainer that we would continue to try and do it.” Jessica Gilbert, a graduate administrative assistant in competitive sports, said that Ohio State introduced the concept of unified sports with a soccer league, and the response drove expansion to basketball and football. Gilbert said she was surprised by the community’s enthusiasm for the opportunity to participate and make the program a success. “We didn’t realize how much people wanted that opportunity, so when that opportunity was given, we were like, ‘Oh, all these people love to do this,’” Gilbert said.

Gilbert added the winner will get to participate in the Toledo Unity Bowl, which takes unified teams from the region. Shumaker said beyond the competitive aspect, the arena of sports offers a common ground for people from all walks of life and the idea of diversity fits with the goals of the program. “I think [the goal] is to build community,” Shumaker said. “That sense of community could be really enhancing to everyone who participates in these types of programs.” Noting an increase in the participants from last year, Gilbert said that this sense of community is growing, now including students in addition to Special Olympians. Shumaker said the goal of the department is to continue increasing the number of athletes and students they impact by adding

more unified sports at Ohio State. “We just did our new strategic plan, which is a five-year plan that started this year,” Shumaker said. “One of rec sports’ strategic initiatives that we’re pursuing is to enhance the participation in unified sports for Ohio State.” Gilbert encourages all to give unified sports a try. “You are going to love it,” she said. “It’s a great environment, and you just get to play sports and build community around people that you’re most likely not normally around all the time.” The program incorporates service and community within the activity of playing a sport, and what comes out of this experience can be truly special, Shumaker said. “I think it’s the epitome of sport bringing people together,” Shumaker said. “It can really be a true unifying, common goal to do something really great together around sport.”

XIAOHAN WU Lantern reporter wu.3313@osu.edu A movable “maker space” that houses prototyping tools and space for workshops will travel to Thompson Library’s ground floor near the Buckeye Bar on Monday. Based on the concept of spurring new ideas by gathering students and faculty with great knowledge and skills across the community, the Innovation Studio shines a spotlight on health care solutions by hosting interdisciplinary workshops and providing prototyping tools for developing projects. Laurel Van Dromme, chief of strategic partnerships, said idea contributors with top performances will gain an opportunity to turn their ideas into commercial reality with funding from Ohio State. Tim Raderstorf, chief innovation officer at the College of Nursing, said ideas presented at the Innovation Studio in the past have gone on to commercial success. “We’ve had a nursing student and a designed student write a children’s book that you can purchase on Amazon,” Raderstorf said. “It’s about good bacteria in your digestive system and why eating fruits and vegetables help make them stronger and help you be healthier and happier.” Not limited to medical theories, ideas incubated by students aim to benefit mankind in a variety of ways. Raderstorf said another nursing student design a program to detox drug addicts in a hospital setting that “has been licensed by the international distributor.” The Innovation Studio teams up students with similar interests and assigns each group experienced mentors while providing 3D printers, laser cutters and hand tools for conducting trials. Entry submissions to the Innovation Studio can range from a set of psychotherapy tools to brandnew surgical instruments. “The easiest way to start your innovation tour is actually just to come to the physical space [with your ideas],” Raderstorf said.

Behind Issue 1: Student activists fight to reform criminal justice system AKAYLA GARDNER Lantern reporter gardner.1199@osu.edu Surrounded by members of the Ohio Student Association at the Summit on 16th United Methodist Church, deputy director Kevin O’Donnell sits on the ground with a marker in hand and white poster on floor. Written in blue and green highlighter are ideas for how the group can head out into both the local Columbus and Ohio State communities to support State Issue 1, an initiative that proposes to reclassify low-level, nonviolent drug use or possession from a felony to a misdemeanor, and re-allocate funding saved from incarceration to drug rehabilitation programs. This is the latest in the group’s attempt to pass the legislation after playing a major role in its placement on the gubernatorial ballot in November. The baby blue painted room, appropriately named “Freedom Hub,” is the same room where the association held its first meeting in 2012. The group was developed on Ohio State’s campus as the result of a merger between Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street activists. The shared goal: to sustain social justice movements and bring leaders together even after protests and media attention end. Since then, OSA has expanded to universities and cities across the state with more than 400 committed volunteers. It offers fellowships and training to youth interested in community organizing. “Our North Star is a world that doesn’t throw people away,” O’Donnell said. The young people of the association are making major strides

behind the scenes of progressive Ohio politics. OSA is the only student-led organization in the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, the group that engineered Issue 1. OSA began collecting the first signatures to petition for the amendment on Nov. 2, 2017. “Issue 1 takes money out of the prisons, out of the business of locking people up, and puts it back into restoring people,” said Afia Chrappah, a fourth-year in social work and OSA volunteer. “The premise of Issue 1 is, ‘You’re addicted to drugs, we are not going to incarcerate you. We are going to help you get your life back on track.’”

“That shame is going to continue as long as we keep criminalizing people for being addicted to drugs. What kind of society would have made it so that my stepdad and my cousin didn’t feel like they needed to run away?” KEVIN O’DONNELL Deputy Director, Ohio Student Association

It has been “exhausting work to be constantly responding” to different crises, O’Donnell said, and the group seemed to hit a low at the start of 2017. However, he said the organization made up for it with a strong effort pushing Is-

sue 1 onto the ballot in 2018. O’Donnell said Issue 1 had the second-highest number of raw, volunteer signatures for a ballot initiative in Ohio’s history. OSA collected 20 percent of volunteer signatures, with 30,000 signatures from in-person canvassing with voters in the community. “If you figure for every person that says ‘yes,’ there’s another four that say ‘no,’” O’Donnell said. “That’s several million conversations.” O’Donnell’s stepfather and cousin died from drug addiction during his childhood, and he said he started to see the personal connections of the addiction crisis to his life while tackling Issue 1. “There was so much shame around being addicted to drugs,” O’Donnell said. “That shame is going to continue as long as we keep criminalizing people for being addicted to drugs. What kind

of society would have made it so that my stepdad and my cousin didn’t feel like they needed to run away?” O’Donnell kept his family members’ deaths a secret and didn’t tell most of his friends. It wasn’t until OSA started campaigning for Issue 1 that he began to openly share his story. “A lot of our work also is giving people space to come out of the shadows with these things and talk about what they’ve experienced, to undo some of that shame,” he said. In the past year, OSA put forth the majority of its time and resources into getting support for Issue 1. It was approved for the ballot in July. With less than a month until Election Day, OSA is working four to seven days a week. Its team of fellows and volunteers meets to strategize, canvass, reg-

ister voters, enter data or contact people interested in getting involved. If the ballot initiative passes, OSA plans to be a part of ensuring that it is implemented effectively and will continue to work on criminal justice reform. “Whether or not this thing passes, if it doesn’t pass, in a sense, we’ve already won,” O’Donnell said. “We’ve started a massive conversation about reforming our institutions and have already forced some legislators to put proposals out that would be like Issue 1, so in a sense we’ve already come what we came to do.”

ASC brings science lecture series to Ohio Union ADREYN YATES Lantern reporter yates.242@osu.edu For those looking to supplement lazy Sundays with a bit of learning, the College of Arts and Sciences hosts a series of public lectures called Science Sundays. Bharat Bhushan, a Howard D. Winbigler professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, discussed the emerging field of biomimetics as part of the Science Sundays series this past week in the Ohio Union. Biomimetics is the mimicking of structures and processes found in nature and applying what they have learned in the lab. “Our objective is to identify species that provide a functionality,” Bhushan said. “We study how nature does it then create those structures in the lab and demonstrate they can be used in commercial applica-

tions.” Science Sundays are public lectures held by leading experts in their fields of study and the College of Arts and Sciences sponsors Bhushan because of his field-leading research, said Jay Hollick, director of the Center for Applied Plant Sciences and professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics. “One of the areas I’ve been working in for the past 10 years or so is [the] lotus effect,” Bhushan said. “[The lotus flower] repels water extremely well. It’s self-cleaning. It has a low adhesion and lotuslike substances could be used in self-cleaning windows and self-cleaning shampoo bottles, tiles and fabric.” Another topic Bhushan discussed is how geckos, a species of lizard, have the ability to stick to surfaces which could be mimicked in wall climbing robots and surgical

before the commercial value of projects can be realized. “In reality, it’s incredibly challenging,” Raderstorf said. “People who end up doing it are typically people who are engaged in the process and often there are people who have had one due to learning opportunities of what that process looks like before they find success.” Van Dromme said another concern is the overall expenses of developing ideas would likely exceed their budgets. The Innovation Studio has overcome this due to two College of Nursing alumni donating a significant amount of money to the Innovation Studio,

It stays on the body for five seconds and you don’t even know it, so it has a pain-piercing mechanism and numbing,” Bhushan said. “We’re trying to do something with painless microneedles.” Bhushan said he hopes his lecture will be of interest to students and Ohio State’s large community because he believes everyone can learn from nature. “I’m excited about it because as researchers, we always talk to our peers and fellow colleagues, but our job as a teacher is to disseminate information so that people understand what we do, what the value of the science is, and I think it’s important to reach out to the community and speak to them,” Bhushan said.

A burglary and incidence of criminal damaging was reported to the Columbus Police as having occurred between at 9:30 a.m. on Friday and at 8 p.m. on Saturday at a West Norwich Avenue residence near Neil Avenue.

District PourHouse brings zoo animals for Boo! with the Zoo MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu

Sloths are hanging, penguins are waddling and animal handlers are educating. This will be the scene of District PourHouse on Wednesday when it hosts Boo! with the Zoo, a free event that brings in animals from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to celebrate the Halloween season. Christiana Moffa, property manager at The Gateway — University District, said the event is an extension of another event PourHouse hosts over the summer called Brew with the Zoo, where attendees can pet, interact and learn about zoo animals, such as sloths and baby penguins, in the Gateway plaza while enjoying beer from Ohio breweries. “It’s been such a popular event — our Brew with the Zoo over the summer — that we thought, ‘why not also do another one in the fall,’” Moffa said. “The

weather is temperate [and] people love fall foliage and decor, so we opted to do another one. People cannot seem to get enough of the fluffy zoo animals.” Brian McGlothlin, general manager at PourHouse, said Brew with the Zoo came to be through a collaboration between Gateway and the Columbus Zoo, where PourHouse had the idea to add the happy hour and craft beer element. Halloween elements include a screening of the 1991 film “The Addams Family” at the end of the night, as well as themed beer from Jackie-O’s Pub & Brewery, called “Dark Apparition.” McGlothlin said events like Boo! with the Zoo and Brew with the Zoo are great because the community is able to experience a fun, cool environment while also giving back to the Columbus Zoo, for Jackie-O’s and the PourHouse will each donate 50 cents per pint sold to the zoo. “It’s a pretty awesome experience.

The last one they had some baby snow leopard cubs.” McGlothlin said he hopes people will come to check out the space Gateway has to offer and support the Columbus Zoo at this family-friendly event.

“We have something to offer for everyone ... You don’t have to buy a beer, you can come check out the animals without it,” McGlothlin said. “I think the Columbus Zoo is one of the best zoos in the Midwest, if not in the U.S., and it’s free to come out and see what they do and support them.” As for Moffa, she said she hopes Boo! with the Zoo will not only let the community engage

with different animals, but bring the community together as well. “It’s not every day that you can see a snow leopard or watch a sloth climbing around on the railings and eating a snack. It’s not every day that you can hold a baby kangaroo,” Moffa said. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and is free to the public.

OSU defense prepares for Purdue in ‘survival mode’ COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu Injuries have been a significant issue for the Ohio State defense. Starting with the core muscle injury to junior defensive end Nick Bosa on Sept. 15, an injury that will continue to keep him out of the lineup indefinitely, the Buckeyes went into their matchup against Minnesota down two more starters — junior linebacker Malik Harrison and junior defensive end Jonathon Cooper, both sidelined amid concussion protocol. As Ohio State defeated the Golden Gophers 30-14 en route to its seventh win of the season, two more players went down: redshirt junior cornerback Damon Arnette and redshirt junior defensive lineman Robert Landers.

“We have to make sure that we don’t only circle the bad. As coaches, we have a tendency to do that, but there are some plays being made out there. We are going to circle all the negatives. We are going to circle the positives too.” ALEX GRINCH Ohio State co-defensive coordinator

With the injuries and continued issues on the defensive end, the Ohio State defense has had to develop depth quickly through the first seven games to opponents taking advantages of the weaknesses. This makes head coach Urban Meyer’s job much harder, trying to find the right personnel to fit the scheme the defense

We’ve dealt with multiple injuries,” Meyer said. “It’s at times you’re in survival mode.” Despite the injuries, Ohio State has continued to find a way to survive. After allowing 14 first-half points to the Golden Gophers, the Ohio State defense did not allow a score in the second half, and allowed 158 yards of total offense. Minnesota freshman quarterback Zack Annexstad completed five of 11 pass attempts for 108 yards and an interception, and the offense converted on one of five thirddown chances. This is the aspect co-defensive coordina-

tor and safeties coach Alex Grinch does not want people to forget. He said when the Ohio State defense needed to make a play to stop the Golden Gopher offense, it ultimately did. “We have to make sure that we don’t only circle the bad,” Grinch said. “As coaches, we have a tendency to do that, but there are some plays being made out there. We are going to circle all the negatives. We are going to circle the positives too.” Meyer expects some of the depth on defense to return against Purdue on Saturday. He said Cooper and Harrison were back to normal and Landers is probable for Saturday’s primetime game against the Boilermakers.

However, Meyer did say Arnette was still questionable. If Arnette were to miss the Purdue game, Ohio State’s three-man cornerback rotation would turn into two starters — redshirt junior Kendall Sheffield, who recorded his second interception of the season on Saturday, and sophomore Jeffrey Okudah. Ohio State might need to use redshirt freshman Shaun Wade, who has primarily played cornerback, as well as safety. Despite seeing improvement in the play of sophomore safety Isaiah Pryor alongside Fuller, Meyer said that position is still up for grabs. “That position is not finalized. We’re constantly evaluating that, as well,” Meyer said. “But injuries kind of limit you.” Defensive depth could be an issue, especially with the offense Ohio State has to face on Saturday. Averaging 33.5 points per game, Purdue is one of two teams in the Big Ten to average over 500 yards of offense per game, finishing No. 2 to Ohio State in passing offense, recording 330.8 passing yards per game with quarterbacks completing 66.8 percent of pass attempts. With the struggles in the middle of the field, such as guarding slants, which Minnesota took advantage of in the first half on Saturday, Ohio State could see many of the same issues as it has in the past. However, Meyer is aware of these issues. Moving forward, it’s about taking the depth — or lack thereof — and using it to fit the scheme to best defend Purdue, a strategy that ended up working against Minnesota. “We held them without scoring for the better part of three quarters, and had three turnovers and three sacks,” Meyer said. “I see what you see, as well. We expect them to be snuffed out. But this will be a big challenge this week with everything you just said, that’s what we do all day is just constant evaluation.” RPO FROM 8

Ten. She started every game in the 2017 season and currently remains one of Ohio State’s strongest players both on and off the field, but she said she won’t take credit as being the only leader on the team. “We have leadership coming from every line on the field,” Kerr said. “I think that the fact that it’s not just one leader on the field and there’s multiple leaders is what helps with our team’s success so much.” Sophomore forward Marissa Birzon said Kerr stands as an incredible role model for the team as a whole and she inspires the younger goalkeepers to take her position

when she leaves next year. “She’s been a huge voice in the back line organizing everybody and making sure everyone’s playing together,” Birzon said. “Honestly, her saves have been tremendous in games.” The Buckeye senior said her piece of advice to the younger players on the team would be to try and make the atmosphere as much of a family and learning environment as possible, and to try to focus on making the spaces safe and productive. With only two games ahead of the Big Ten tournament and a potential NCAA tourna-

ment bid left in Kerr’s illustrious career, she said she will remember this team as being one of the closest groups of girls that she had in her tenure as a Buckeye. “We bring a sense of competition every day to practice that I think it’s just super healthy for us and great day in and day out to have that competitiveness at practice and during games,” Kerr said. “I’m definitely going to miss that, coming back every day to the same group of crazy girls will be a bit of a change for me, but I wouldn’t have wanted to spend this year with any other group of girls.”

downs, giving him back-to-back 400-yard passing games. The Ohio State program has had three 400yard passing games in its history, two coming in the past two weeks. While Barrett gave the offense a strong weapon on both fronts, Haskins has been making up for lost ground by drastically out-throwing any season Barrett ever had. In the RPO, Meyer said he understands this difference, and that’s why there has been such a shift in the offensive numbers. “We went back and studied everything, and had that conversation about these are 10 run calls that we’re flipping the ball out there and making plays with it,” Meyer said. “That’s kind of what Dwayne gives you. Maybe J.T. gave you something else, where it was more of a run-run option; this is a run-pass option.” The Buckeyes will travel this Saturday to face a Purdue rush defense that has been middle of the road so far this season, allowing 146.8 yards per game and four yards per carry to opposing backs. It remains to be seen if the Ohio State offense will move toward the run aspect of the run-pass option, or if the offense can continue to survive on the historic pace that Haskins’ passing game is working on.

Run-pass option shifts Ohio State’s offense WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Ohio State might be the No. 2 team in the country, with a 7-0 record and have its best throwing quarterback in recent memory in redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins. But the team is lacking one thing every team led by head coach Urban Meyer has always had: a run game. In the Buckeyes 30-14 win over Minnesota, Ohio State failed to reach 100 rushing yards for the first time since its loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff two seasons ago. Much of this can be attributed to Ohio State’s lack of a dual-threat quarterback, with J.T. Barrett amassing 798 rushing yards in his redshirt senior season last year, much of which was through the run-pass option, or RPO. Barrett was often the answer to short third-down plays, and the extra threat with his feet allowed more space for running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber. So much more space, in fact, that Dobbins ran for 1,403 yards and 7.2 yards per carry as a freshman. The RPO seems to have been majorly lost with Barrett’s departure, but Meyer said that is not

Weber putting up the same types of numbers they combined for last season, the Ohio State rushing game has struggled, ranking as the No. 51 rushing offense in the NCAA with the yards per carry average for both backs decreasing from a season ago. The defensive schemes Ohio State has seen over the first seven games of the season has indicated that opponents view the rushing offense, without a dual-threat option behind center, as one-dimensional.

necessarily true. “A lot of those passes are RPOs, like when you see Parris [Campbell] in the flat or K.J. [Hill] on a hitch, those are all RPOs,” Meyer said. “You’re reading someone, you trigger, you throw the ball. So I’d say there’s at least 10 to 12 called runs that the ball is being thrown.”

“I don’t want to give you a number, but there’s some pass yards that are run plays,” Meyer said. “They’re loading the boxes, we’re not going to run the quarterback.” To make up for it, Haskins threw 412 yards and three touch-

This season, Haskins has 30 rushes for 49 yards and a touchdown on the ground, averaging 1.9 yards per carry. Against Minnesota, Haskins had a career-high nine carries and totaled just six yards, losing yardage on three sacks. However, the RPO for Haskins is still completely different than

the play-calling Barrett had under Meyer. Instead of Haskins running the ball himself when an RPO is called, he is looking for an opportunity to hand the ball off, finding a hole for whichever running back is in the game, whether its Dobbins or Weber. But instead of Dobbins and

Devon Kerr remains the star in her senior season BAILEY SCHEUFLER Lantern reporter scheufler.7@osu.edu With only four games left for the Ohio State women’s soccer team’s 2018 season, senior goalkeeper Devon Kerr has been the most consistent piece of the team in her final campaign as a Buckeye.

“I’m definitely going to miss that, coming back every day to the same group of crazy girls will be a bit of a change for me, but I wouldn’t have wanted to spend this year with any other group of girls.” DEVON KERR Ohio State senior goalkeeper

The goalkeeper has had seven shutouts, giving her 18 for her collegiate career — the third most in Ohio State history. Kerr holds an .820 save percentage in 2018. Game by game, her consistency is what makes

her shine in her last year at Ohio State. On the season, Kerr has allowed more than one goal only three times: in the first two games against then-No. 3 North Carolina and then-No. 9 Duke, and then once more against Penn State, which currently sits atop the Big Ten. Kerr’s success has been the driving force for an Ohio State that sits at 7-5-3 (4-2-3 Big Ten), for Ohio State has only won when Kerr has blanked the opponent. Kerr said looking back on all her achievements throughout the years remains a great feeling for her, and getting the opportunity to play the starting goalkeeper position behind this caliber of a team proved more than she could ask for. “I love that we’ve had such success as a team with not allowing goals against,” Kerr said. “Personally it’s a great accomplishment for me, but I couldn’t do it without the work of my teammates as a whole, and I think all of their efforts go into why we’re so successful with not allowing any goals.” Traveling all the way from Ontario, Canada, Kerr debuted in 2015 against Texas, making six saves in a scoreless draw. In her first collegiate start, Kerr made 10 saves and allowed only one goal in a double-overtime draw to
