Hire of former Trump EPA administrator raises student group concerns JOE MATTS Lantern reporter matts.2@osu.edu Ohio State’s recent hire of a former Trump administration official has sparked a backlash among student environmental groups on campus.

The Ohio State Sierra Club Student Coalition, a student environmental advocacy group, raised concerns about Ohio State’s recent hiring of Clint Woods, former deputy assistant administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences hired Woods as the director of strategic partnerships effective Oct. 14, according to CFAES’ website.

In response, the Sierra Club wrote a letter to Cathann Kress, dean of CFAES, in mid-October, asking for more information about the hiring process, as well as the role Woods will play at the

ward to meeting with the Sierra Club. He also said the mission will be central to his new role.

“It’s like, how can you hire this guy who has a past so clearly anti-science and against what we strive for in [the School of Environment and Natural Resources]?”

Ohio State announces plan for Buckeye Village relocation SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu OWEN CONN Lantern reporter conn.131@osu.edu As Ohio State’s graduate and family housing is replaced by athletic complexes, many families are left wondering where they will end up.

“Ohio State remains committed to graduate and family housing options that are affordable, safe and located close to campus.”

BEN JOHNSON University spokesperson

The university announced Monday that residents of Buckeye Village may have the option to rent a University Village unit beginning in 2020-2021 as the university continues to develop the Athletics District and closes the

existing Buckeye Village, according to a university spokesperson.

Ohio State is currently in the process of negotiating a lease agreement with University Village apartments for the current 89 Buckeye Village units occupied, which would provide the option for up to two academic years at a subsidized rate by the university. This would match the current Buckeye Village rates, as well as any rate increases incurred by the annual rate review process, Ben Johnson, university spokesperson, said in an email.

Buckeye Village, which is located on Defiance Drive on Northwest Campus, is less than half a mile from University Village on Olentangy River Road.

Council of Graduate Students President Stephen Post said that while he appreciates the university subsidizing the rent for Buckeye Village tenants, he does not feel like it is enough.

“We really want a commitment from them that they would invest in — in new housing for students with families and graduate students in general,” Post said. “It has been too long that we have not been prioritized, and that was something that was made apparent tonight was that it really is a matter of money and how much it would have cost to move forward

with building a new facility.”

In June 2017, about 50 Buckeye Village apartments were demolished for the construction of the Covelli Center, according to previous Lantern reporting. Applications for housing were no longer

accepted as of 2018 due to limited space.

Johnson said the university’s 2010 Framework plan — Ohio State’s long-term development plan — the 2012 Athletics Dis-

trict Master Plan and Framework 2.0 all include development plans for Northwest Campus, which includes Buckeye Village’s property.

Eric Johnson, a curator at the rare books library, points to marginalia written by a priest.

JACK LONG Special Projects Director long.1684@osu.edu On a shelf in a black box, in a vault below Thompson Library, behind four locked doors and a security keypad, sits a book with a peeling, marbled-leather cover.

The paper edges are stained a faded green-blue with pocks of white, resembling bacteria growing in a petri dish.

Written in Latin, “Supplementum Summae Pisanellae” was used as a guide for priests who heard confessions in the 15th century, Eric Johnson, a curator at Ohio State’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, said. It was donated Tuesday to the library by J.C. Hanks, a lawyer in Columbus, Ohio.

Johnson said it will be preserved for research alongside thousands of other printed works, and the manuscript offers insight into social life during that time period, which will help inform researchers interested in religious

culture.

The rare book library holds unique, often first-edition, printed works, rare book curator Jolie Braun said.

“We can learn a lot from books like this.

They’re physical objects that testify to the reality of the time they were made.”

ERIC JOHNSON Curator at Ohio State’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Library

It is the most diverse special collection at Ohio State, Johnson said. Medieval texts are stored alongside modern American literature. Dozens of languages are

represented, and topics range from UFO literature to cookbooks.

Hanks has collected medieval and Renaissance manuscripts since 2012, and parts of his collection are stored at the library but remain his own property, Johnson said. With this donation in particular, the book is university property.

The 1/4-inch-tall black letters written by a scribe form two columns of black text on each page.

Red and blue accents were later added for clarity and decoration, Johnson said, and the nearly 400 bound pages encompass “every possible sin known to humankind.”

Priests and confessors would use the book to decide a penance for sinners, Johnson said. It acted as a sort of “Choose Your Own Adventure” book for sin forgiveness.

“It’s not enough for you to confess that you got into a fight,” Johnson said. “You have to really drill down and give context.”

“It’s really neat to be able to see exactly when the manuscript was finished,” Johnson said. “Very often [it’s] not there.”

Geometric designs, a fish, furniture, a mushroom or a scene of a dog chasing a cat illustrate the bottom of some pages. Catchwords that told the bookbinder how to order the pages are set inside of these small pictures, Johnson said.

“More often than not, there is no decoration added to the catchwords,” he said. “This is just an idiosyncratic thing for this manuscript.”

Tiny brown dots — hair follicles — smaller than the size of a pinhead, freckle the pages. The manuscript used animal skin, not paper, which allows researchers

to use the follicle patterns to determine what animal was commonly used at this time, Johnson said.

The hair follicles, type of paper, catchwords, date and location of publication and marginalia are considered paratext, Braun said.

“It’s all the stuff around the actual text,” she said. “All of that is working together to create this cultural artifact.”

“Supplementum Summae Pisanellae” can give researchers a snapshot of daily life in medieval times with how it details attitudes on drunkenness, cheating and fighting, Johnson said.

“We can learn a lot from books like this,” he said. “They’re physical objects that testify to the reality of the time they were made.”

lage residents Monday night, the Office of Student Life said the University Village option is a result of exploring options for the future of graduate and family housing, and the lease agreement would offer one- or two-bedroom apartments at University Village.

“We are continuing to work with University Village on final details of this agreement and next steps for helping you further review this option (visiting the site, seeing model apartments, etc.).

We will share more information as soon as possible,” the letter reads.

Johnson said the university is continuing its dedication to finding appropriate housing options.

According to the letter, Woods has also been sued by environmental organizations following the Illinois’ EPA stance reversal on smog with “no air-quality justification for the change.” The letter also stated that in his position with the EPA, Woods “delayed release of a study detailing cancer risks from formaldehyde by refusing to give his permission to initiate the agency review process

for the assessment and refusing offers from EPA scientists to brief him on it.”

“Clint Woods does not personify the CFAES mission to transform CFAES into a college that values ‘Sustainability, One Health, Rural-Urban Interface, and Leadership,’” the Sierra Club said in its letter.

Despite these concerns, Bush said he believes Woods can be effective in his role at Ohio State.

“We want transparency with what he’s doing moving forward and send the message that this is unacceptable to be so insensitive to our values in these kind of hires.”

Woods and Kress both pointed out that his position is not a policy-setting position for the school.

Woods will not have authority over “scholarship direction.”

Kress said in an email that she will meet with the Sierra Club and encouraged them to reach out to Woods directly. She also pointed out that the school received positive feedback about Woods from all groups involved in the interview process.

A Change.org petition, posted on behalf of the graduate student body of Environment and Natural Resources by Victoria Abou-Ghalioum, a graduate student in environment and natural resources, expresses concerns similar to those of the Sierra Club. At the time of publication, it had 147 signatures with a goal of 200.

The petition lists requests for transparency and states, “As future environmental professionals, we feel that this hiring undermines the work of our school and environmental scientists across the College.”

Students provide mentorship for young black girls MICAHIAH BROWN-DAVIS Lantern reporter brown-davis.3@osu.edu Teneeyah Hale didn’t know anyone who went to Ohio State when she was in high school.

Now in her third year at the university, she and Tomara Dorsey are providing direction and a campus connection to ambitious young women at the Columbus city school she came from.

Hale, a third-year in public affairs, and Dorsey, a fourth-year in sociology and public affairs, created a long-term peer mentoring program, called Sista Sista, to help guide black high school girls through personal, professional and emotional situations. The program, which launched Oct. 10, currently operates at Northland High School.

Hale and Dorsey said they noticed there wasn’t a peer mentoring program at Ohio State for black high school girls.

Hale said their goal is to help young black girls define what it means to be a black woman and feel empowered to fight for equitable resources for the next generation.

“One night in March, me and Tomara were sitting in the lobby talking about things we wanted to

do, and she told me she wanted to start a mentor program,” Hale said. “I told her I wanted to start one at my high school to show kids they can go to a school like OSU. We combined our ideas and created this one program that satisfied what we wanted to happen.”

Dorsey and Hale said they came up with the name for the

Images of activism

Stonewall Columbus to host reflection on LGBTQ+ history TREVOR SIMPSON Lantern reporter simpson.728@osu.edu Allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community have an opportunity to witness the Columbus Pride movement through the eyes and cameras of the activists who started it all this weekend.

Ken Schneck, author of “LGBTQ Columbus: Images of Modern America,” will lead an open discussion, called “Columbus is SO Gay: An Image History of LGBTQ Activism,” on his new book at Stonewall Columbus Friday. He said attendees will analyze some of the photos in the book and confer what they have to teach about activism in a classroom-type setting.

Schneck, a professor of education at Baldwin Wallace University and editor of Prizm Magazine — an Ohio LGBTQ+ community publication — said the book documents the pride movement in Columbus, Ohio, over the decades through a compilation of photos and his commentary.

“LGBTQ Columbus: Images of Modern America” was released in June, preceded by a Cleveland version Schneck published in 2018. While working on the Cleveland book, Schneck said he realized how intertwined LGBTQ+ history was among cit-

ies in Ohio, leading him to work on the Columbus book and a Cincinnati edition, set to release next year.

“The LGBTQ history books are really about collating images of the history that would be lost if we didn’t put it all together,” Schneck said. “Ultimately, it’s going from person to person to

person in people’s basements, their attics and photo albums in their living rooms and putting together decades and decades of history of activism that has happened in various cities in Ohio.”

The book is centered on images due to their human interest and ability to provide an access point that can’t be achieved through

text, Schneck said.

“Capturing the images and the emotions of people’s faces that are at a rally, or at a very early Pride, or even something that has happened in more recent time as people in Ohio continue to fight for rights that we don’t have — that just tells a much different story than I could tell with words,”

Schneck said.

The story the book tells has been validating for LGBTQ+ elders and presented an opportunity for a younger generation to have an intergenerational connection, Schneck said. He said the best result of events like the one Friday is when attendees ask how activism tactics from the past can be used today.

Sabrina Boykin, Pride coordinator at Stonewall Columbus, said LGBTQ+ history isn’t necessarily taught in school, heightening the importance of events such as this one.

“If you want to find out about what has come before you in the movement, you really have to do some digging,” Boykin said. “So I’m hoping that people will get to see a good historical perspective and just learn a little bit about what came before them.”

Boykin said more than 100 people have signed up for the event, and he hopes the big crowd will lead to productive conversation within the community.

Sweet and Dour:

“Vanitas” exhibition explores life and death TAYLOR SMITH Lantern reporter smith.11164@osu.edu A new exhibition at 934 Gallery combines old traditions, new techniques and Jell-O. “Vanitas,” presented by artist and Columbus College of Art and Design professor Hiroshi Hayakawa, will adorn the painted brick walls of 934 Gallery Saturday.

In his collection, Hayakawa said he combined vanitas paintings — a genre of traditional 17th-century Dutch still lifes depicting the inevitability of death — with his interest in figurative art. He said figurative art comes from the inspiration of real objects, adding a twist to the traditional genre.

Hayakawa said the vanitas genre includes mainly “natural and earthly beauties” and draws attention to the brevity of life.

“Whatever you’re enjoying in life is not permanent,” Hayakawa said.

Stemming from the death of his father in 2014, Hayakawa’s own traumatic experience was the driving force behind the “Vanitas” collection, he said. He spent the five years following his father’s death using art as a therapeutic outlet and said he hopes to convey the importance of enjoying each moment.

Hayakawa added he will be showing graphite and charcoal pieces, as well as paintings. In addition, he will include photography in the exhibition.

“When I was introduced to his paintings and his drawings, I was just blown away because I only knew him as a photographer,”

Johnny Riddle, executive director of 934 Gallery, said.

Hayakawa said he employed two 19th century photography processes — the Vandyke Brown process and gumboro chromatic process — to create the photographs in his collection. He used three distinct chemicals, storebought Jell-O and ultraviolet light to transfer photographs onto sheets of glass rather than paper.

He said he often creates his work from the comfort of his kitchen with the company of his

French bulldog, Pearl.

Riddle said the exhibitions hosted in the 934 Gallery are a small part of what the venue has to offer.

The gallery space also includes a volunteer-built music stage.

Riddle said the space is often home to installation pieces — works meant to be experienced rather than simply looked at — that often take full rooms to display and are not for sale.

Riddle added that the gallery strives to make visitors feel wel-

come and comfortable in experiencing the artwork in their own ways. He said this mentality attracts a multitude of volunteers to the volunteer-run gallery.

“When you come into 934 Gallery, you’re not going to be standing there alone, isolated or uncomfortable about being in an art gallery,” Riddle said.

Although his work is extremely personal, Hayakawa said anyone who appreciates the time and effort put into the creative process will be able to pick up on the

Dorsey and Hale said they worked on the program structure and syllabus over the summer.

“We had to dig deep and really think about what we wanted to do because we didn’t want to reincarnate things they already know,” Hale said. “We want them to learn new things and leave room for the girls to tell us what they want us to provide.”

Dorsey said she and Hale meet with 20-25 girls — freshmen through juniors — twice a month during the students’ lunch period. She said they discuss topics including self-love, self-identity, academic workshops, higher education, ways to improve their community and ACT preparation.

Dorsey, who works in the Ohio State Department of Social Change, said her connection to the department opened doors to receiving funding for the program. She said they proposed the idea to her supervisor at the time, but had a setback due to a change in directors.

Hale said the new director, Charity Martin-King, a graduate of a Columbus city school, was excited about Sista Sista and approved the program.

“Not only was my supervisor supportive of this plan, but of Teneeyah,” Dorsey said. “She was

theme of his work, which contributes to the 934 Gallery’s overall environment.

The 934 Gallery community will celebrate the unveiling of Hayakawa’s exhibition with a public reception 7-10 p.m. Saturday and will continue until Nov. 15. Hayakawa will be at the reception, and according to the Facebook event, he will be drawing portraits of visitors for $40 from noon to 3 p.m.

“We talked to teachers and girls and had them pick girls that

need the extra push — girls doing good but could benefit from having someone to talk to, girls who miss school a lot, girls on honor roll — not just girls that seem like they need help but may need this program.”

Dorsey and Hale said the program will help the girls get to Ohio State through college application help and an upcoming college tour hosted by the mentors.

“We provide them with a connection to OSU. Some of the girls are juniors and looking into schools,” Hale said. “When I was in high school, I didn’t know anyone that went to OSU, and I couldn’t ask questions about campus life. Now, with us being there, we’re able to answer questions that the website may not have and connect them with different people in departments they’re looking into.”

Dorsey said they will be accepting 10-15 volunteer mentors in November through an application, interview process and background check.

Dorsey said they will be working on expanding the program to Memphis, Tennessee, where she will be working for Teach For America after she graduates.

“It would be great to see OSU maintain the program and make

it bigger. OSU should give back to black students because OSU is not where it should be as far as diversity,” Dorsey said. “I do think Sista Sista can be branded to become bigger to black females on campus by black staff members becoming mentors through an actual program.”

Informing all audiences, not just the LGBTQ+ community, of the perils of the Pride movement in Ohio over the years provides some perspective, Schneck said.

“It gives people an opportunity to reflect on where we are now, how far we’ve come, but also, how much more work there is to do,” he said.

“Columbus is SO Gay: An Image History of LGBTQ Activism” will run 7-9 p.m. Friday at Stonewall Columbus. Tickets are free and available online on the organization’s Facebook page.

One last shot: Siegfried’s final stand JACOB BENGE For The Lantern benge.30@osu.edu Parker Siegfried is two games away from capping a decorated Ohio State men’s soccer career.

The redshirt senior goalkeeper is currently No. 5 on the Buckeyes’ all-time leaderboard for most career shutouts with 17.

He is approaching former goalie Dave Scheer’s 19 career shutouts from 1985-88, good for No. 4 in Ohio State history.

“I would rather win 10-9 than tie 0-0.”

PARKER SIEFRIED Ohio State redshirt senior goalkeeper

Though it’s now dropped four straight games, Ohio State began its year with a stark turnaround from a one-win season in 2018 to win six of its first 11 games, thanks to five clean sheets from Siegfried.

Siegfried may be in his final season with the Buckeyes, but he said he doesn’t have time to think about hanging up his cleats or revel in his achievements.

“You obviously think about that stuff, but you have to play your best day in and day out and just hope that you see where the cards fall and hope it is in your favor as much as possible,” Siegfried said.

Siegfried said shutouts are not his priority going into a match; earning a win for the team is.

“At the end of the day, I am just doing my best every time I can to just make the team win. I would rather win 10-9 than tie 0-0,” Siegfried said.

The path to success has not been easy, however. Rebounding from a rough 1-15-2 season a year ago makes this season feel better for the redshirt senior. During his Buckeye tenure, Siegfried has endured a grueling sequence of coaching turnover, featuring four different goalkeeper coaches in five years.

“As soon as you get used to someone, they are gone,” Siegfried said. “Having to get through that has been tough at times, but it is really good right now.”

He praises the leadership on the men’s soccer team for the differ-

“That is one thing that I think we are lucky with right now and why we are having the success that we are having,” Siegfried said. “We are a locker room full of leaders. There are so many guys helping, and they make it a

lot easier.”

The team saw players stepping up and forming bonds dating back to off-season practices. All of that time spent together since then has led to more of a brotherly connection among the players, junior forward Matteo Bennati said.

“With these guys, it is all about

the relationships we have built over the spring and summer, even outside of the field,” Bennati said.

“We have been able to create this environment and be this kind of attached and cadre about each other, just made everything easier and joyful.”

Siegfried credits his goalkeeping skills to his training with the Olympic Development Program at age 12.

“I was like, ‘I am going to do ODP as a goalie. I think I am good at it.’ I just stuck doing it and found a passion in it,” Siegfried said.

As he grew older and gained more experience, Siegfried watched other, professional goalkeepers and found similarities between their game and his.

“I love Joe Hart [Premier League club Burnley], but if you look at him, then look at me, we are pretty different people. But my play is similar to Hugo Lloris [Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur],” Siegfried said. “He is someone that I look at and try and emulate because I think we are similar goalkeepers with similar athletic ability.”

In his first few years in the program, Siegfried’s observations from the sidelines and on the practice field helped him foster SOCCER CONTINUES ON 7

the qualities that helped him turn into a stalwart in goal. “[Former goalie] Chris Froschauer was really good my freshman year. He was a good mentor, got drafted, played in the MLS for a bit,” Siegfried said. “[Former midfielder] Brady Blackwell was a really good competitor and a good soccer mind, so being able to play with him for four years was huge.”

The passion Siegfried has for the game drives his work ethic, head coach Brian Maisonneuve said.

“His consistency, he comes every single day, not only in the games but in training,” Maisonneuve said. “You talk about a guy who comes every single day

to work and to get better, that is Parker.”

Not only does Siegfried hold his own in the goal box, but he makes sure his competitive nature rubs off on the rest of his teammates.

“He is our captain for a reason. Everybody goes to Parker. His door is always open,” Maisonneuve said. “Everybody knows how much his teammates mean to him. Whether it is keepers or field players, Parker has a great mind for the game, and in small-sided games you can always hear him being the coach on the field, which is fantastic.”

The Buckeyes have two conference games remaining before the start of the Big Ten Tournament Nov. 9.

BLACKSHIRT FROM 8

The black shirt will help the team become more conscious of making decisions that will help them reach the next level, as well as setting a high standard for the wrestlers, Ryan said.

“The topic was, ‘How could we become a tougher team?’ If a human being is willing to suffer, they can accomplish anything, but we never want to be the team that loses; we want to be the team that just ran out of time,” Ryan said “The shirts are a visual cue that there’s a standard that’s extremely high.”

Senior captains Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher will be the inaugural black

shirt-wearers for the Buckeyes. Moore, a two-time Big Ten champion, and Pletcher, a two-time All-American and two-time Big Ten finalist, were both recognized by Ryan for checking all the boxes of a black shirt wearer.

“I’ve seen Kollin, and I’ve seen Luke pour their heart and souls into their wrestling matches and also in the way they train, while also having those other ingredients,” Ryan said. “To me, the black shirt represents a lot more than a status, and I think that Kollin and Luke with that black shirt can say that they love this sport and have lived this lifestyle for a long time.”

KATELYN ABELN Ohio State freshman pistol team member

Against Army West Point Oct.18-19, Abeln broke the individual women’s air pistol record with a score of 569, with her and Gens taking the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. The team air pistol score set a new school record.

“I don’t think people realize how hard it truly is and how much time we all sacrifice to get good at what we do,” Abeln

said. “It’s not easy whatsoever.”

While she’s racked up individual glory in the shooting community, Abeln said she faces misconceptions about what she does, including people not knowing that the team exists at Ohio State or how the sport works.

Abeln said hunting and shooting were routine for her family in Georgia, but some question the safety of her sport.

“Our organizing body is USA Shooting, and when you type that in, and there’s just been a shooting in the U.S., the first thing that pops up is the article about a shooting that happened, and not our organizing body’s page,” Abeln said. “It sucks because they’re not tied together at all.”

Regardless of the outside world’s understanding, Abeln is no less committed to excellence on the gun range.

That commitment is what Milev said will push his star pupil to yet another plateau of performance.

“I think that she’s not going to let go,” Milev said. “And that’s going after it and [being] relentless.”

Senior goalkeeper Parker Siegfried’s focus is on the team — not on personal achievements. | ON PAGE 6

Abeln shoots for Olympic berth GRIFFIN STROM Sports Editor strom.25@osu.edu Some kids play with dolls.

At 7 years old, Katelyn Abeln was shooting BB guns.

Less than a decade later, it was a pistol, as the Douglasville, Georgia, native’s marksmanship took her all the way to Pilsen, Czech Republic, for her first international competition in 2017.

“When I saw my name and it said USA next to it, I was like, ‘Whoa, this is real,’” Abeln said.

Since then, Abeln’s talents have allowed her to travel the globe, competing in places such as Germany, Korea and Brazil — all before starting college. Now a freshman on the Ohio State pistol team, Abeln’s looking to punch her ticket to a new destination: The 2020 Summer Olympics.

“Going into a match with no expectations is the best option, but obviously, we expect things out of ourselves,” Abeln said.

The first major step toward realizing her Olympic goal was taken just over a month into her first semester of college, as Abeln placed eighth in the Olympic Trials Part 1 for 25M sport pistol in Fort Benning, Georgia.

It was at Fort Benning in 2015 that Abeln said she encountered now-Ohio State head coach Emil Milev, a six-time Olympian for the Bulgarian and U.S. national pistol teams, who won the silver medal in 1996.

Though neither knew they’d wind up together in Columbus in a few years’ time, Abeln made quite an impression.

GRIFFIN STROM | SPORTS EDITOR

Freshman pistol team member Katelyn Abeln and junior pistol team member Samuel Gens practice shooting in Converse Hall.

“I kind of remember her, this small little girl, holding this big gun –– it was like the smallest gun we had at the time –– and all of a sudden I see a world-class score with that gun. Wow, what’s going on here?” Milev said.

Abeln began shooting competitively on a 4-H BB gun team in Georgia before switching to pistol under her father Jerry’s tutelage.

It took just six months of shooting before Abeln qualified for the Junior Olympics in Colorado, her first major competition, where

she turned 14.

She earned medals for sport pistol at the event every year from 2016-18, but in 2017, Abeln took the first-place prize, winning gold in what she called a surreal moment.

The following two years were full of more surreal moments for Abeln, whose participation in a litany of overseas competitions made Colorado look like a road trip.

It was in China that Abeln said she first felt like a true contender,

and she was most excited to see Brazil this year. But it was her silver medal at the 2018 World Championships in Korea that she said is her proudest accomplishment to date.

No longer just turning heads at the junior level, Abeln turned her eye to Ohio State, where Milev accepted the head coaching position in 2017. He delivered a national title in the 2018 Intercollegiate Pistol Championships while going 25-0 in open competition.

While she considered oth-

er schools that had gun ranges, Abeln leaned toward Ohio State, as the only nonmilitary school in the country to offer pistol scholarships. Soon, she was reunited with Milev.

“Having a good coach can make or break you,” Abeln said.

The same could be said about teammates.

Junior Samuel Gens was a first team All-American in free and air pistol in his first two seasons with the Buckeyes, and won the 2019 free pistol national championship.

Despite his laundry list of collegiate accolades, Gens said it isn’t normal for Abeln to be this accomplished so early in her career.

“No. I came, I didn’t win anything, I hadn’t gone anywhere,” Gens said.

Gens and Abeln will compete at the first leg of the air pistol Olympic Trials in December. Both said they’d be disappointed not to qualify, but Abeln said guidance from an experienced Olympian helps put wind in her sails.

“Before the Olympic trials, I asked him, ‘How did you deal with the pre-match anxiety, the nerves and stuff?’ And his experience has really helped me get through that match and just stay calm and keep my cool,” Abeln said.

Gens said the team spends 20 hours a week practicing at the gun range located in Converse Hall, which doesn’t include time spent on weekend competitions, in which Ohio State is undefeated so far this season. Different pistol events feature a fixed number of rounds fired over varying lengths PISTOL CONTINUES ON 7

Back in black: Tradition rewards toughness NOLAN HARMON For The Lantern harmon.437@osu.edu In the world of martial arts, receiving a black belt requires hundreds of hours of training, along with years of dedication and sacrifices.

In Ohio State wrestling this season, that same level of dedication and accomplishment will be represented by a black shirt that shows the wearer is a great wrestler and leader.

Wrestlers can be nominated for the award by any team member. In order to be awarded a black shirt, nominees must receive unanimous approval from the coaching staff and all current black shirt holders, Ross said.

“As much tradition we have of winning, there’s not a tradition of things that embrace the process of getting to success,” strength coach Riley Ross, originator of the black shirt tradition, said. “It’s the concept of ‘arete,’ which is a Greek word that they grasped

as ‘virtue.’ It was a holistic level of excellence that they really believed was possible within the human being.”

Ross said his background working with professional fighters and jiu-jitsu practitioners showed him how important the black belt is to that culture and played a large part in choosing the color black for the team’s new tradition.

“The only way to get a black shirt is to be a savage.”

TOM RYAN Ohio state wresting head coach

“The significance of a black belt within that culture is that all the other colors, if you blended

them together, would essentially turn black, and black covers all the sweat and all the blood,” Ross said. “Black embodies that toughness that should be ingrained in them by the time they get that black shirt.”

The black shirt is exactly like the other outer shirts the wrestlers wear, sweat absorbent and lightweight, but they are a black version of the standard gray, team-issued T-shirts, Ross said.

“In the future, we will have ones that commemorate the year the wrestler obtained their black shirts along with a new logo,” Ross said. “Graphic design is working on that currently.”

Head coach Tom Ryan said he was immediately on board with the idea when it was presented to him and the coaching staff by Ross this past offseason in a staff meeting and thinks it will be good for program culture. Ryan said it will take the “elite of the elite” to receive a black shirt, and wrestlers must meet certain criteria to have the chance to don the shirt.

Ohio State No. 2 then-redshirt junior Kollin Moore celebrates after defeating Michigan’s Jackson Striggow in the 197-pound bout by decision, 12-5.

“You cannot get a black shirt just because you’re a straight-A student, do 10 hours of community service, are a great example to your community, and you pick people up when they’re down,”

Ryan said. “The only way to get a black shirt is to be a savage.”

Ryan said being a savage means giving an outward display of the deep love for what you do.
