An extension to Ohio State’s background check policy is intended to make campus a safer place for children.

Under OSU’s new policy, all employees and volunteers who work with minors in university-sponsored 4-H youth development programs, child care and overnight youth camps are subject to background checks at the time of hire.

OSU spokeswoman Liz Cook said these background checks consist of fingerprinting from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and are required once every four years after an individual is hired.

Employees and volunteers who have a break in service will be required to undergo another background check at the time of rehire, while those who work with overnight camps and child care will also be required to complete an annual “Statement of NonConviction” from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Cook said in an email that OSU is “dedicated to the education and development of children,” and this policy will help ensure the safety of children with university development programs.

“Securing their safety while engaging in universitysponsored programs is of the utmost importance,” Cook said.

Volunteers under the age of 18 working with children are still required to complete background checks, but

Former assistant fooball coach Jerry Sandusky leaves the Centre County Courthouse after being found guilty in his sexual abuse trial in Bellefonte, Pa., June 22.

Cook said parental consent is obtained prior to completing background checks on minors.

During a March 25 interview with The Lantern editorial staff, OSU President E. Gordon Gee said recent events both within and outside the university made this policy necessary.

“We have a responsibility to particularly younger people on this campus to make sure that they are, when

they’re here, that they’re safe, they’re secure, that we don’t have predators,” Gee said.

A sexual imposition was reported in Drackett Tower during a youth wrestling camp in July. According to OSU Police, that incident involved two minors, but neither was affiliated with the university.

MARGARET MECKLENBORG Lantern reporter mecklenborg.2@osu.edu Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee says the university needs to focus on the student experience outside the classroom.

The OSU Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) plans to focus on the quality of the experience that second-year students have not only in the classroom, but outside of it, beginning with the $370 million North Campus Renovation Project, Gee said during a March 25 meeting with The Lantern editorial staff.

“I’ve said this before … the fact that, if we just think about students in terms of classrooms 18 hours a week, but if we think about our students as having 168 hours of experience on this campus, we need to really be concerned about the other 150 hours,” Gee said.

OSU announced Thursday that Ohiobased Messer Construction Co., will spearhead the North Campus project after considering several firms during a review process. OSU estimates this review process has resulted in a savings of

$26 million from the original $396 million budget.

“Messer is thrilled to be selected as The Ohio State University’s design builder for the North Residential District Transformation. We look forward to helping OSU realize President Gee’s vision by the implementation of this portion of the One Framework Plan,” said Rob Verst, vice president and general manager of Messer Construction Co., in an email Thursday.

Gee said the university needs to think more about the value of the experience that OSU offers its students, and he recognizes how much the undergraduate student body helps pay for the research conducted at the university.

“We do a billion dollars’ worth of funded research on this campus. We’re one of the most important research universities in the world,” Gee said. “Yet much of that is paid for on the backs of our undergraduate students.

So we really do need to think about the quality of the experience that you have.”

The new program allows students to become more involved in the college experience, merging classroom work with research,

Two rapes were reported on Ohio State’s campus within the last two weeks. Both investigations are ongoing, and the victim knew the suspect in each case, according to Ohio State University Police.

The first case was reported at about 6:30 p.m.

April 15. The incident allegedly occurred on April 7 in Bradley Hall between 1:30 and 5 a.m., according to the report.

University Police Deputy Chief Richard Morman said the suspect was “a friend of a friend.”

The 19-year-old woman is an OSU student, but the male suspect is not affiliated with the university, Morman added.

The second rape was reported at 2:40 p.m. on April 12. The incident allegedly occurred earlier that day, between 1 and 3 a.m. in the Residence on 10th, according to a University Police report.

The 20-year-old woman was friends with the suspect, and the two had previously been in a consensual relationship, Morman said.

Morman said both the woman and the suspect in this case are OSU students.

Alcohol was involved, according to the report.

OSU Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said offering support to the students is the university’s main focus.

“The university takes these reports very seriously,

Because we knew who the suspects were in both cases, it’s not a continuing threat to the university community. So this wasn’t a situation, and not to downplay the seriousness of it because it’s still a serious crime whether the victim knew the suspect or not.

Richard Morman University Police Deputy Chief and obviously one of our first priorities is the wellness of students involved,” Isaacs said. “We want to support them in any way that we can.”

Isaacs said OSU has many resources for students involved in cases of sexual violence, including the Student Wellness Center, Counseling and Consultation Service and the Student Advocacy Center.

Morman said a public safety alert was not sent to students after either incident because police know who the suspects are.

“Because we knew who the suspects were in both cases, it’s not a continuing threat to the university community,” he said. “So this wasn’t a situation, and not to downplay the seriousness of it because it’s still a serious crime whether the victim knew the suspect or not, this is not a situation where it’s a continuing threat to the campus community.”

One of the females declined to comment, and the other did not respond to an email requesting comment.

Nine out of 10 college-aged victims of sexual assault have known the suspect. Of victims between the ages of 18 and 29, two out of three had prior relationships with the perpetrator, according to the National Institute of Justice.

Fourteen sex crimes have been reported on OSU’s campus since the beginning of Fall Semester. A rape was reported on Oct. 12 in Park-Stradley, followed by a gross sexual imposition reported on Nov. 4 that is still pending investigation. There was also a rape reported on Nov. 21 in Park-Stradley, but the location was later changed to Paterson Hall. The case has since been closed because the “victim refused to cooperate,” according to the University Police log.

Investigations into an alleged Sept. 9 rape and an alleged Nov. 11 sexual imposition, both in Morrill Tower, have been closed, as well as an alleged Nov. 21 rape at Mirror Lake. Alleged rapes in the Neil Avenue Residence Hall on Nov. 10 and Norton House on Jan. 8 are listed as “investigation pending.” The case of an Oct. 14 reported sexual imposition in Neuropsychological Services has been closed. Reported sexual impositions on Aug. 30 at the South Oval and Sept. 7 at Medical Center East are both still under investigation. The investigation into an alleged Jan. 12 rape in the Neuropsychology Department is listed as “unfounded,” according to the police log.

campus OSU students expected to prepare for campus threats ALICE BACANI Lantern reporter bacani.2@osu.edu While there are drills for fires and extreme weather conditions, students don’t typically learn what to do in case of a shooting or bomb threat.

Students and instructors are expected to prepare themselves for threats that may face Ohio State’s campus.

Bob Armstrong, the university’s director of emergency management and fire prevention, said OSU has emergency response plans in place, but individuals must also prepare for these situations themselves.

“It’s up to every student, faculty and staff member on campus to develop their own plans,” Armstrong said.

The Ohio Union was evacuated April 16 after an unattended backpack was brought to the attention of OSU Police. The building was evacuated for about an hour and a half that evening, and the backpack was detonated, which is standard protocol and does not necessarily mean it contained an explosive device. The unattended package contained no explosives, according to a notice from OSU Media Relations.

On April 7, OSU sent out a safety notice concerning a threat geared at a “cafeteria” or unspecified area on campus. Police forces were increased on campus the

“We want this to be, as much as possible, a very healthy community of mutual support. We don’t want to exclude any student that’s serious about recovery. If they’re serious about recovery, we want to be there with open arms welcoming them into this program.”

“Ultimately you need a community you can engage in that doesn’t revolve around drugs or alcohol,” she said. “There is a place where I belong on campus.”

April 15, which led to three deaths and more than 180 injuries. One suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed and the other, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured over the weekend.

Every building on campus is required to have a Building Emergency Action Plan, a template someone must fill out to outline the procedures in the case of an emergency.

Armstrong said all instructors are strongly encouraged to discuss emergency response plans with their students but said individual departments “can’t force the faculty to do anything.”

“It really is up to the faculty member or the instructor to have that discussion with the students prior to anything occurring,” Armstrong said.

Ashley Moss, a second-year in actuarial science, said some of her instructors have spoken about fire drills but no other types of emergencies.

Moss said she thinks the university should be in charge of emergency response plans, not the instructors.

“I don’t know if that is the greatest idea, ‘cause I feel like different teachers would have different ideas of what to do, whereas one whole plan would just be better,” Moss said.

With the amount of buildings and classrooms on campus, Armstrong said it “is just not feasible” to create

different emergency response plans for every single classroom.

“We have our own plans for responding, but we can’t tell you if someone is standing in front of you with a gun to do A, B, C and E,” Armstrong said. “We can’t tell you black and white this is what you have to do, these steps in this order.”

Alex Shapiro, a second-year in international studies specializing in security and intelligence, said he thinks students should be prepared to protect themselves.

“I have my own plan. When there were the bomb threats on the cafeteria, I stayed away from them, I stayed off campus,” Shapiro said. “I don’t think it’s really a great idea to be up to the teacher, it should really be up to the individual student.”

The Office of Student Life has a Risk and Emergency Management Office responsible for all Building Emergency Action Plans for all residence halls on campus.

Armstrong said it is important for all students to discuss emergency plans with their residence hall directors or resident advisers.

The Office of Administration and Planning also has online instructions and guidelines for students to see the recommended procedure in the case of different emergencies.

Addiction recovery offered at OSU SAM HARRINGTON Lantern reporter harrington.227@osu.edu With an addiction to alcohol and marijuana six years in the making, 19-year-old Stephanie realized that just as drugs and alcohol had affected her family life and friendships, it had also impacted her education.

“There was this drug-related conflict on campus that I ended up missing my finals for,” Stephanie said about getting caught with drugs on campus. “I remember sitting there with this security guard, at Columbus State (Community College), thinking, ‘Something’s got to change.’”

Even after three and a half years of sobriety at Ohio State, the fourth-year student, whose name The Lantern agreed not to fully disclose, said the negative connotations associated with addiction recovery are so strong it’s difficult to feel any sense of community at OSU. “I feel invisible,” she said. “I know staff

members, I know students who are in recovery, I see them on campus all the time and you get really excited, but you have to keep quiet about it.”

OSU’s Collegiate Recovery Community is a new program for students in recovery like Stephanie. Established late Spring Semester, the program aims to build a secure community focused on student encouragement and engagement.

Headed by the Student Wellness Center, this collaborative OSU effort combines the expertise of individuals from Counseling and Consultation Services and University Residences and Dining Services.

The CRC is designed for any student who is in the addiction recovery process, though requirements for how long one must have been in recovery have not yet been decided.

“We want this to be, as much as possible, a very healthy community of mutual support,” said Curtis Haywood, a licensed professional clinical counselor for CCS. “We don’t want to exclude

any student that’s serious about recovery. If they’re serious about recovery, we want to be there with open arms welcoming them into this program.”

The program, now in its early stages, will go into full force this fall. Besides peer interaction, Sarah Nerad, program assistant for drug and alcohol abuse recovery program at SWC, said the program will be able to offer students alumni engagement opportunities, scholarships, weekend events and monthly educational sessions.

“There will be a lot of, ‘Let’s go experience life, let’s have fun, let’s have a genuine recovery experience,’” she said.

Within the following year, the CRC is set to have its own recovery house for residents who are in recovery.

Although the CRC does not replace a 12-step recovery program, it does offer some of the

Check from 1A Gee made specific mention of crimes that occurred at Penn State as a factor that inspired the policy. Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted in June on 45 counts of sexual abuse on 10 boys between 1994-2009.

In the wake of the Sandusky scandal, Penn State installed its own revised background check policy in July, requiring all final job candidates and third-party employees offered employment to undergo background checks, including a criminal history check and child abuse record check, before being approved to work at the university.

According to a previous Lantern article, the university is aiming to further protect the children involved in the 660 youth programs at OSU. Gee, who has been a university president since 1981 and is in his second term as OSU president since returning in October 2007, said extensive background check policies were not necessary in his early years as

2nd from 1A study abroad, leadership and campus involvement, said Student Life spokeswoman Kellie Uhrig.

Students who participate in the program and live on campus for two years will be rewarded with a $2,000 university stipend.

“The first year of college is about discovering the campus and becoming familiar with its resources and opportunities,” Uhrig said. “The second year is about the student discovering his or her place in the broader campus community, and living on campus provides a higher degree of support for this self-discovery process.”

Undergraduate Student Government president Taylor Stepp said USG had “substantial reservations” moving forward with STEP. “We were concerned, and frankly upset, that we didn’t have a voice in this,” said Stepp, a third-year in public affairs.

Instead of spending millions of dollars on new buildings, Stepp said the money should be used to control the “absurd cost of college.”

Other students disagree with the plan.

“I think it would suck to be forced, living in a place so expensive. I love the freedom that comes with off-campus housing,” said Deidra Rodriguez, a thirdyear in neuroscience. “My off-campus housing experience differed by price and freedom and space increase, but other than that, social life is awesome in both dorms and off-campus housing.”

But Reema Aljabi, a third-year in consumer and family financial services who transferred from OSU-Newark after her freshman year, said the living requirement will help students.

“Coming from the Newark campus to Columbus campus would have been a better transition if it was required to live in the dorms as a sophomore,” Aljabi said. “Living in the dorms as a sophomore would have given me more opportunity to socialize and meet other peers.”

More than 3,000 beds will be added to the North Campus area in order to accommodate the transition of second-year students into dorms. There will be

Recovery from 2A same elements: a sense of community and a safe place.

However, it also differs from some programs because it is not as formulaic as a 12-step recovery program might be. A 12-step program is a set of outlined steps used to overcome addiction, initially proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous. In the end, involvement in CRC will only increase the support an individual is receiving.

“I don’t want this program to be a particular pathway of recovery, I don’t want it to be 12-step-based, or faithbased, I want it to be everything,” Nerad said. “I want everyone to feel welcome regardless of how they got into recovery.”

The timing of this program is in line with national trends; institutions throughout the country are becoming more serious in how they serve the people in recovery.

OSU has had services for those in drug and alcohol addiction recovery for years, but none have been as extensive as the CRC. “We’re trying to meet a current need,” said Amanda Blake, wellness coordinator for the SWC. “We’ve been providing services for students in recovery for a long time; we’re just trying to take it a step further now.”

Modeled after a Texas Tech University recovery program, the CRC also borrows successful elements of other similar university programs, Blake said. According to one of Texas Tech’s formulas, it is estimated that

a university president, but that the world has “changed dramatically” in recent years. Gee previously served as president from 1990 to 1997.

“It is a different world you live in than the one that I grew up in,” Gee said. “We have to have limitations in order to be able to have a protected society … I think that’s the way it is with the university.”

That said, some students questioned why the policy of background checking all employees and volunteers who work with minors was not already in place.

“I think in principle it’s a very good idea,” said Jesse Hill, a first-year in computer and information science.

“I’m kind of shocked it wasn’t (already) in place, because children are very important.”

Gee said increasing the protection for children on campus “makes common sense.”

“If I were a father of a young son or daughter, I’d want to make that happen,” Gee said. “I’m a grandfather, I have identical twins (granddaughters), and I want to make sure that’s the case for them.”

different types of rooms to meet the needs of all ranks of students.

Construction is scheduled to begin in July.

The project is expected to add new dining and recreational facilities to North Campus, and there are also plans to remove Curl Drive and increase the total common area for students.

“As for second-year students, our goal is to respond to evolving needs and offer spaces for second-year students that meet these needs and desires. For instance, more doubles with in-room bathrooms and suite living arrangements,” Uhrig said. “We will continue to house all ranks of undergraduate students on all areas of campus. An important part of any residential community is the interaction and engagement among students, including the mentorship opportunities that come from interaction between various ages of students.”

Some construction will begin this summer, and the project is expected to be complete for use Fall Semester 2016, said Lindsay Komlanc, OSU Administration and Planning spokeswoman.

After this project is completed, OSU plans to begin building even more on-campus housing for third- and fourth-year students.

“I think it’s all part of a process, but I think that it’s going to be very healthy and I’m very anxious to see this thing up and running,” Gee said.

OSU has 950 students in recovery, making a recovery program very worthwhile, Nerad said.

Besides OSU, two universities in the Big Ten, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Michigan, and two Ohio universities, Case Western Reserve and Ohio University, have recovery programs like CRC, Nerad said.

This is not OSU’s first time trying to create a recovery program. In 2009, OSU attempted but failed, mainly due to a lack of student interest, Haywood said.

By incorporating the expertise of many university departments, as well as student input, the CRC has formed a solid program.

“That’s one of the really cool things about it, I think, is the collaborative effort of the different areas of OSU to try and help a recovering student,” said Simon Woliver, a CCS clinical fellow.

Through the CRC, OSU will not only be able to have a place for students in recovery, but will also attract future students in recovery.

“We’re not only potential(ly) improving retention, but we’re also giving students a reason to be here,” Woliver said.

The CRC is a direct counter to those kinds of feelings, Stephanie said. Knowing that OSU has made a unique place for those in recovery is encouraging.

“Ultimately, you need a community you can engage in that doesn’t revolve around drugs or alcohol,” she said. “There is a place where I belong on campus.”

studentvoice Seek help when in abusive relationships When I started this semester, I intended to write weekly for the Student Voice section because I feel like I have a lot to say, and well, let’s just say that life had a different path for me.

It has been almost two weeks since I got out of my abusive relationship for the final time. The relationship started off normal enough. Nick (not his real name), and I had attended the same high school, had lost contact for a while, and then began talking again at the start of this school year. It was part way though the school year that she asked me out. She, you say? Why is she named Nick? Well, this is where it starts to get hairy, so stay with me. When I started going out with this person, he was female, and since I am also female, it was a same-sex relationship.

Mind-blowing, I know. A few weeks into our relationship, Nick told me that she was transgender and felt male inside. I have other friends that are transgender, so it wasn’t a problem for me. I began using male pronouns for Nick and would refer to him as my boyfriend. I was as supportive as I could be.

As time went on, things started getting stranger and stranger. Over Christmas break, Nick came down to visit me. It was at this time he also decided to lie to me about beginning hormone replacement therapy, via taking testosterone, or “T” as it’s sometimes called. Lying is not right in any relationship, and this was a big thing to lie about. He “forgot” to mention that he didn’t want to go through the proper, legal channels to start transitioning, so he bought some testosterone pills from his cousin. That is not only shady, but also dangerous and illegal.

For someone to start the transition from Female to Male (FTM), he or she needs to undergo several months of therapy to get a diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder (GID), (soon to be called Gender Dysphoria, instead), and he or she needs to talk to a doctor to get a medical sign off, and begin “T”.

I was really hurt that he didn’t trust enough to tell me, and that I wasn’t important enough to know, especially since he told me over and over that I was the only one supportive of his transitioning. Despite this, I still loved and cared about him, and urged him to still go through the proper channels, just to be safe. In the months that followed, my life got progressively worse.

I had no time for myself because Nick began

I couldn’t hang out with my friends, because I had to take care of him. If he was feeling dysphoric and upset that he was female-born, I got yelled at for it. I was blamed for everything that ever happened, even if I had nothing to do with it.

It took a long time for me to see that he didn’t love me, he loved controlling me — I was a mere plaything to him. All of the threats to hurt me, my family and pets; all of the accusations, all of the check-ins to monitor my whereabouts, all of the isolation from my family and friends, it was all part of his manipulation. I had to walk on eggshells, I had to watch what I said 24/7 and could be punished over nothing or anything. I couldn’t say no, I had to be there for him 24/7 (or else) and if I had money, it was his. In fact, my stuff, my time, my life — it was all his. He was powerful and in control of me. I was a strong person, but he reduced me down to almost nothing. I would break down a lot — most of the time I would sob uncontrollably and have random panic attacks. I hated what I had become and wanted to end it all. It took my counselor at Ohio State’s Counseling and Consultation Services, mainly located in the Younkin Success Center, and the urging of

several concerned friends and family members to notice that it was not only a destructive relationship, but an abusive one too.

Domestic violence isn’t just physical, it can be mental, emotional, verbal and sexual too.

Just because you can’t see bruises on someone or a broken arm, doesn’t mean that the abuse isn’t there and that it’s not happening. It’s very real and it’s very destructive. There is no excuse for it, either. Nick would tell me that he was abused by his ex, and that he would never hurt me because he knew how it felt to be abused.

Wrong. He abused me; mentally, emotionally, verbally and sexually and it was escalating toward a much more physical means, and I thankfully got out before it came to that.

If you recognize any of these warning signs, (in you or any of your friends), I urge you to try to get help and get out. It’s hard but worth it, and once you are out, don’t go back. I broke up with Nick several times, and he just didn’t get the memo. He would play mind games with me and threaten suicide if I even thought the words “break up.” It finally hit home for him when I told OSU Police that I was worried about what he might do to both me and himself. And then they informed him that it was over and that he wasn’t

to see me or talk to me ever again. The amount of safety and sanity that I have gained from that incident is paramount. University Police basically gave me my life back, and for that, I am very thankful.

If you recognize any of these red flags in your friends’ relationships, please say something to them, and be willing to listen if they need it.

Reach out to friends and family you might have not connected with in a while, they might be feeling isolated and alone. Recognize that they are going through a rough time and be supportive. Abuse is about control and power.

To my fellow Buckeyes experiencing an abusive relationship, I just want you to know that the abuse you are experiencing is not your fault, and you deserve to be treated better.

Abuse is different for everyone, and it crosses all race, gender and sexual orientation lines, but no matter what, keep the faith because you are not alone. I got help from resources I didn’t really know existed when I needed them. The OSU CCS, and University Police were both huge in helping support me, and can help you too. Aside from the school, (and my friends and family), I also contacted the LGBT Trevor Project’s helpline, which is a contact point where high school and college-aged members of the LGTB community can turn to for help.

I urge you to talk; to family, friends, your roommate or resident adviser. If you need to get a hold of any of these resources, call the OSU CCS at 614-292-5766, the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 614-221-5445, University Police at 614-292-2121, the Columbus Division of Police at the usual 911, or the Trevor Project at 1-866488-7386. You can also check out the websites for It’s Abuse, OSU’s CCS, the Wexner Medical, Choices (the 24-hour crisis and information hotline), the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

University ‘revolution’ misses out on students’ needs campus Columnist

patrick seaworth seaworth.1@osu.edu

When Ohio State accepts a student into its incoming freshman class, it expects the student to hold himself to the university’s standards, and the student agrees to live up to the university’s expectations. Students also agree to an honor code, which is meant to foster education and intellectualism.

OSU’s motto is, “Disciplina in civitatem,” or “Education for Citizenship.” The motto each of our educations carries is an education to prepare us to be citizens of this country and of the world. It is meant to be an education that creates students in the same manner my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, aims to create men. The fraternity adopted the words of John Walter Wayland’s, “The True Gentleman,”

which say our education is meant to create a true citizen.

A true citizen, said Wayland, is someone “whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety,” and whose education “is equal to all emergencies.” A citizen that does not “flatter wealth, cringe before power or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company,” a student “with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.”

But this honor code is not reciprocal. We wait up to two months to see our adviser. If we need to make a change to our schedules, we are not trusted to do so on our own. We are expected to act as adults yet accept the treatment of children. If the university will sanction us for our failures, it must allow us any avenue we believe will bring us successes.

The new construction is someday going to look very nice, yet they too are a violation of the university’s responsibility to the student. At a time when students’ budgets are tightening rather than building, the university should be expanding student services. Rather than building, the university should set its funds toward

Lantern file photo

When tuition is paid, the university has no care whether that student earns an A. That is the student’s responsibility. If a student fails, it does not reflect on those who do not, but if the university fails the student, what is the penalty? There simply is none.

In the same manner, when a nation fails its citizens, its citizens will still fly its flag and hold faith in its ideals, the student will still enroll with faith in OSU’s ideals.

The homepage of osu.edu contains a picture of President E. Gordon Gee, with a quote from his speech to the faculty, “a revolution is under way at Ohio State.”

There are new buildings, there is national

recognition for this or that, but this revolution seems to miss out on we the students.

It has come time for we the students to come before the university. This would require drastic changes to the way in which this university operates, and to that I say O-H.

Commencement is right around the corner!

Keep an eye out for our special commencement tabloid distributed on Tuesday, April 23 and at graduation on Sunday, May 5 You won’t want to miss out on the

excitement surrounding the largest graduating class to enter the Shoe along with the sitting president!

‘War Horse’ to gallop onto Columbus stage Madeline Roth Senior Lantern reporter roth.302@osu.edu Making a horse come to life onstage might seem like an ambitious task, but with a little imagination and an elaborate set of puppets, “War Horse” proves it is possible.

The acclaimed play, which earned five Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Play, is scheduled to make its Columbus premiere 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Ohio Theatre.

Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Morpurgo, “War Horse” chronicles the story of Joey, a horse that has been enlisted to fight for the English in World War I, and his master, a young man named Albert who follows him into battle.

Joey is brought to life on stage by a team of three puppeteers who, using puppets that are handmade in South Africa and take two years to create, are able to embody a convincing horse that can breathe and gallop onstage.

“It’s tremendous — it’s something no one’s ever done before,” said “War Horse” cast member Michael Stewart Allen. “The horses move and breathe and act like real animals. There’s a magical moment in the show where I think the audience really forgets the puppeteers are behind them … and at the end, most of the people are overwhelmed with emotion.”

But acting alongside the puppet is not the only challenge for the 35 members of the “War Horse” cast.

All of the actors, including Allen, are tasked with playing multiple characters.

Allen, who plays Sgt. Allan in the first act and the villainous Private Klausen in the second act, said it is both difficult and rewarding to take on more than one role.

“It gives me a chance to stretch and do something different,” Allen said. “It keeps the show fun and fresh every night. And it’s always fun to be the bad guy.”

To prepare for his roles, Allen said he read books about World War I for firsthand accounts of trench warfare. He and the other cast members also visited

‘War Horse’ is slated to open April 23 at Ohio Theatre. stables to learn how to interact with the horses, which Allen said has been helpful when acting alongside Joey’s puppeteers.

“We’re always evolving and learning on this tour,” Allen said. “When people write books about the history of theater, (‘War Horse’) will be in there because of the way we’re making it.”

Kathryn Miller, a second-year in theater and strategic communication, said she saw the stage adaptation of “War Horse” in Toronto and was impressed with the play.

“It’s amazing, both visually and storyline-wise,” Miller said. “And the puppet work is brilliant.”

Although most people are probably familiar with the 2011 film adaptation of “War Horse,” which was helmed by director Steven Spielberg and nominated for six Academy Awards, Allen said the stage version is much more emotional.

Julia Langholt, a fourth-year in theater and mechanical engineering, said that after seeing the film adaptation of “War Horse,” she wants to see how Joey is portrayed in the play.

“I really want to see how they handle the character of

the horse on the stage,” Langholt said. “Apparently it’s amazing and probably even more effective because it’s more abstract.”

Allen said this opinion of the show is what he hears from most.

“Most people that we have talked to love the play more than the movie because it’s more special in how it’s told,” Allen said. “The artistry in the theater and the theatricality of the piece allow the story to be told in a better way.”

That emotion, Allen said, is what he loves about being part of “War Horse.”

“It’s so great to be in a show that really moves people and affects people and makes them think and feel and laugh and cry,” Allen said.

“War Horse” will be at the Ohio Theatre through April 28. Tickets for the show begin at $35 and are available at the CAPA Ticket Center and through Ticketmaster.

Students are also eligible to purchase up to two tickets at 50 percent off each (plus service charges) by presenting a valid student ID in person at the CAPA Ticket Center during the two hours prior to each performance.

Liz Dickey Lantern reporter dickey.88@osu.edu Color coordination is a method sometimes applied to organizing a wardrobe, and over the weekend this was scaled up by coordinating an entire fashion show by color.

Ohio State’s Fashion Production Association held its 20th annual fashion show “Spectrum: A Runway of Color” Saturday in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom.

“It was really difficult and challenging to come up with a theme that would test our designers and really be innovative while also really pushing our designers to grow,” said Meghan Plumly, co-president of FPA and a fourth-year in fashion and retail studies and international business.

What once started as a class, the FPA was founded 20 years ago by students and fashion and retail studies professor Nancy Rudd as a way for students to design more outside of the major courses. The group puts on the show at the end of spring semester as a way to feature FPA members’ work and designs created throughout the year.

For this show, there were more than 20 designers that contributed to the show and 26 production team members that helped design the set, marketing materials, music, scripts and overall fashion show logistics. From linen peplum tops to velour mermaid-style evening gowns, the show offered a wide variety of styles categorized into five acts that represented specific hues on the color spectrum. “(The designers) have to stay within their color limits and that is something that is really intriguing and different that we have been making them do, and it made for a really cool show,” said Anna Busi, FPA’s director of design and a second-year in marketing.

The limited color palette the executive committee chose included white, yellow, green, red, orange, pink, purple, blue, cyan and black. These 10 hues were divided into five acts organized by warm and cool colors: act one, white; act two, yellow and green; act three, red, orange and pink; act four, purple, blue and cyan; and act five, black.

Samuel Hardwicke-Brown, the show’s MC and a third-year in fashion and retail studies, emphasized the importance of color as it relates to the shoes.

“Color has the ability to influence our feelings and emotions in a way that few other mediums can,” Hardwicke-Brown said.

Models display color-coordinated designs at ‘Spectrum: A Runway of Color’ April 20 in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom.

The show opened with designs representing only the color white, and each model wore a nude shoe and minimal, simplistic accessories in order to keep from distracting the audience from the design and the associated emotion with each act’s chosen hue.

“Our designers have decided to try to use color and capture each hue with their unique interpretation,” Hardwicke-Brown said.

The peplum silhouette was featured at least once in each of the five acts and was the first design of the evening to walk the runway. Other trends of the night included linen trousers, laser cutouts, maxi-length dresses, highlow hemlines and lace details. “(The event showed) a glimpse of what may be the designs of tomorrow,” Hardwicke-Brown said.

Weekend expo brings pets to center stage, offers activities for owners and pets alike Lauren Weitz Lantern reporter weitz.20@osu.edu Dog lovers and cat lovers have their differences, but both types of animal lovers were present at the All American Pet Expo to show some dedication to their furry companions.

The 19th annual All American Pet Expo hit the Ohio Expo Center Friday through Sunday, drawing in thousands of pets and their owners to the show.

The expo featured multiple pet item vendors, interactive seminars and contests for pets and their owners, as well as many pets up for adoption. “(Dogs) can experiment with learning how to dock dive off a 40-foot dock into a 40-foot pool, they also can be in the ‘dress up your pet’ contest,” said show founder and media director Steve Cantin. “The pets can come and just meet other pets, which pets are definitely doing out there.”

Even though a lot of the activities were aimed at dogs, the pet expo welcomed a wide variety of pets and animal lovers with Cat World, Reptile World, Llama World, Aquatic World, Horse World and Bird World, all located inside the Expo Center.

In the past, the show was held at the Ohio Expo Center before being relocated to Veterans Memorial, and then back to the Ohio Expo Center this year.

“We’ve had it at the Vets Memorial for the past four or five years and before it was here,” Cantin said. “When it was here before we had up to 20,000 to 25,000 people.”

Due to the larger venue space at the Ohio Expo Center, Cantin was able to add in many new features to the 2013 show, including many different types of animals as well as the 40-foot dock and pool for competitive dog jumping.

“We were able to bring back the llamas. We didn’t have Horse World (at the Veterans Memorial), now we have Horse World. You can even learn how

to horseback ride here which is pretty neat,” Cantin said.

In light of the YouTube dance sensation, the “Harlem Shake,” Cantin organized a “Howl-N-Shake,” which took place multiple times throughout the weekend.

“It’s really exciting,” Cantin said. “We get all the people out there that are in the auditorium involved and get them all dancing, having fun.”

One main goal of the expo was to support pet rescues with the help of the Mega Pet Adoption Event, which took place inside the expo and was sponsored by PetSmart Charities.

“Our goal this year is 500 (rescues). It’s an accumulated total from all of the efforts of the show because we don’t let people just take a pet and run out with it,” Cantin said. “The rescue groups don’t want to do that because they don’t want people to be adopting on impulse.”

Shirley Lappert, who lives in Delaware, Ohio, has been to the pet expo since the show began. Lappert sells donated items that help raise money for The Canine Collective, a nonprofit organization that finds homes for rescue pets and helps pay their veterinary bills.

“The expo is great exposure for the group, the animals and educating the public,” Lappert said. “Our volunteers make handmade items out of recycled materials and then they donate them to the rescue and sometimes they donate their time.”

Lappert said she has been helping rescue animals for more than 20 years and got started because of the large number of pets without homes.

“I just saw the need for it,” Lappert said. “There are so many dogs out there that were not getting adopted because they were getting euthanized, they didn’t get a chance.”

Cantin said putting on the show year after year requires a lot of work and money, but he still loves to do it.

Dancers perform inventive array of pieces in spring show Shelby Lum Lantern reporter lum.13@osu.edu As I walked backstage, the smell of hairspray and hot curling irons greeted me. Red lipstick was smudged onto lips and costume changes hung in rows in the dressing rooms as dancers got ready, joked with friends and stretched before their show.

Dance Connection had its spring show, “Reign the Stage,” at Thurber Theatre in the Drake Performance and Event Center on Saturday.

Dance Connection is student-run, and many of the participants danced in high school but chose not to study dance while in college, said Dance Connection President, Sara Whitacre. The students choreographed the variety of dances themselves, and that student-made aspect made the show more fun than usual performances. There wasn’t the stuffy or overly conservative pieces that a lot of other dance shows seem to have.

“That’s What It’s All About,” a tap piece done to a mashup of “The Hokey Pokey” with other songs, including “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” was the most entertaining to watch. The dance moved from tap to hip-hop and then back to tap again. The mesh of different songs was fun and made the piece silly but cute.

I was surprised by the number of tap dances the group featured. “Mixed Rhythms” began with a single dancer on stage tapping without any music, and she was then joined by two other dancers. The dance had an almost street tap feel to it since it didn’t have any music to it, creating a really interesting piece with an advanced style not usually present in student shows.

The only downside to not having music was I could hear one of the dancers say the count out loud to

Dancers perform ‘Wild is the Wind’ choreographed by Jourdan Day at the Dance Connection spring show at Thurber Theatre in the Drake Performance and Event Center on April 20. make sure the three were all beginning a section at the same time.

“On and On,” “Storm,” “Follow The Leader” and “Foundation” were all contemporary lyrical pieces and some of the best of the show. “Reign The Stage” showcased several types of dance, from tap to hip-hop to contemporary to jazz, but as a whole, the contemporary pieces all looked better choreographed and better executed than the others. With the contemporary dances, the dancers all seemed to have more training in that style,

and the movements were all together, whereas with some of the other styles, the movements were not as in sync.

There were only two of the 20 dances that I didn’t like, which is a pretty good ratio for me — “Don’t Judge Me,” the hip-hop duet, and “Heritage,” the en pointe ballet piece that opened up the second half of the show. The duet was very “So You Think You Can Dance”-esque with its slower, hip-hop style, but it wasn’t as sharp as it should have been, and one movement seemed to get lost into the next.

As the lights came up for “Heritage” I was excited to see a pointe piece, a type of ballet on pointe shoes where dancers literally dance on the tips of their toes, included in the show. The dance was more contemporary than pointe pieces usually are with its choice of music but didn’t live up to the expectation I had at the beginning of the dance. I guess I really just wanted more from it.

“The Hypclique” was a hip-hop dance, that was better than the “Don’t Judge Me” duet done to a mashup of different hip-hop and rap songs. The movements were sharp, and the dancers looked like they genuinely loved the piece. Also, how could I not love a dance that included rip-off track pants? The dancers began in all-white T-shirts and green track pants, and as the music moved into “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the dancers moved to the back of the stage to rip off the green pants to reveal thrift shop-type clothing, and put on fun jackets and other clothes.

Dance Connection also included several videos with the dance, which broke up the show nicely. The first was a video of the dancers talking about the club, and how it got started, and the second video introduced the finale dance as a semi-tribute to the ‘90s.

“Party (Come Get It)” was done to a mashup of ‘90s songs with different sections of dancers for each different ‘90s band or group. The dance had sections from Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, ‘N Sync and others, and with each set of dancers in different costumes to reflect the different groups.

Dance Connection really created an inventive and creative spring show that made the dances fun and worth seeing.

Comedians deliver material with 1-night lifespan Patrick Bailey Lantern reporter bailey.829@osu.edu There’s a comedy show in the campus area that guarantees you’ll never see the same show twice.

“15 and Killin’ It” is a five-comedian show that takes place on the third Friday of every month at Wild Goose Creative.

The show is slightly different than other standup shows, as it has one main rule.

“Basically, the premise of the show is we each do 15 minutes of standup material, and then we’ll never perform that show again,” said comedian Sumukh Torgalkar in an interview before Friday’s show. “So the next month you come, you’ll see a totally new 15 minutes of standup comedy material from us.”

At Friday’s “15 and Killin’ It,” the audience of about 40 people heard five comedians’ musings on topics such as gun control, girlfriends and women exposing themselves at music festivals.

“I can never imagine women promoting concerts that way,” said comedian Laura Sanders during her set. “Like, you gotta go see Taylor Swift, there’s gonna be dicks galore. The guys get excited about her music and just whip out their dicks. I saw like 17 of them last night.”

Justin Golak, another comedian featured at the show, gave his thoughts about life and living too long during his set.

“If you’re living really on purpose to live into your 80s, you’re probably not making any memories you’ll worry about forgetting anyway,” Golak said. “It’s not like the doctor says, ‘Looks like you’re getting Alzheimer’s,’ and you’re like, ‘Oh no, I’m going to forget about all that brown rice I ate. Ugh.’” Together, Torgalkar, Sanders and Golak organize “15 and Killin’ It” and make up the last three slots of every month’s show, with the first two filled by other local comedians the three personally select.

Friday’s show featured Joseph Ivan and Chris Coen as guest comedians.

Torgalkar said the rules of the show make it popular with its audience.

“It’s really worked out,” Torgalkar said. “We’ve had great crowds out. A lot of people are really faithful to the show and come every month because it’s fresh and new every time.”

A couple in the audience, Joe Carraway and Kate Gomez, who are from Columbus, said they enjoyed the show.

“It was our first time here,” Carraway said. “We’re going to come back next month. I thought all five comedians were good.”

Gomez agreed.

“I liked it,” she said. “Next time I’m going to bring my grandpa and my aunt and my mom and dad.”

Wild Goose Creative is a multiple-use creative space located at 2491 Summit St. Admission to “15 and Killin’ It” is $8 at the door and $5 in advance.

Ry Wharton poses with his art and technology exhibit, ‘Quantum Tunnel,’ which was part of the December 2011 exhibition.

Art mixes with technology in OSU student-run exhibition Patrick Bailey Lantern reporter bailey.829@osu.edu A mobile flowerpot that can light up to scare predators, a backpack that allows for on-the-go martini sipping and a helmet that shows wearers what it’s like to see the world like a bird are among pieces to be showcased this week.

Ohio State’s art and technology students are set to display their creativity Monday evening with a juried exhibition that turns technology into art. The exhibit is set to open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday and 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday in Hopkins Hall.

All of OSU’s nearly 300 art and technology students are required to apply to get into the exhibit, which takes place every semester, and about half, or about 150 pieces, make it in, said Ken Rinaldo, professor of art and technology.

“We really take the very best of what the art and technology program has to offer,” Rinaldo said. “It’s really a very difficult exhibition to get into.”

The theme for this semester’s exhibition is “Action Potential: Center Surround Antagonism,” which Rinaldo said refers to “the way the human eye sees.”

“It has everything to do with the fact that seeing is an act of information processing,” Rinaldo said. “A lot of the students’ works deal directly with the eye and the way we see, and the act of seeing.”

Amy Youngs, Rinaldo’s wife and an associate professor of art and technology, said the exhibition is almost entirely student-run.

“The students are installing the work and organizing where the pieces go,” Youngs said.

She said the exhibition provides professional experience for the students involved, but is also a fun, interactive event for the public.

“It’s a great experience for visitors to see what art is and what art and technology is,” Youngs said. “It’s fine art, but it’s made with technological tools of all kinds.”

Alex Smith, a fifth-year in art and technology and inventor of the mobile flowerpot, which has wheels attached, also touched on the importance of the exhibition for students.

“It’s always nice to have people look at your stuff and get some feedback on what needs to be improved and what’s working really well,” Smith said. “And it’s a lot of fun to get out and see everybody else’s stuff and bring everybody together for the opening, have some free food, hang out and talk about art.”

This will be the second art and technology exhibition for Smith., Rinaldo said that while the prototypes built by students for the exhibit can seem silly, students are still gaining valuable experience by creating them and putting them up for display.

“In a way, of course it seems very impractical,” Rinaldo said about Smith’s mobile flower pot, “but in the process, here’s an artist who’s getting some tremendous experience and understanding on how to both conceptualize and realize an actual idea. In a sense, some of these things, really, they’re at the edge of the real. They actually are building these things and they truthfully are functional prototypes.”

Youngs said a wide range of themes is represented through the exhibit’s entries.

“Some are fun, some are scary, some are emotional, some are personal, some are political,” Youngs said. “It’s a really broad range of themes that the students work with.”

The exhibition will be on display in several areas throughout Hopkins Hall.

Big changes to B1G divisions Dan Hope Oller reporter hope.46@osu.edu The Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines, two of college football’s fiercest rivals, could meet one another in the Big Ten Football Championship Game at the conclusion of the 2013 regular season.

That will no longer be a possibility in 2014, when OSU and Michigan will be realigned to the same division of the Big Ten, according to a report from ESPN. ESPN reported that the conference plans to vote this week to approve a new divisional alignment when the conference expands to 14 teams from 12 in 2014, along with new division names and an expansion of the conference schedule.

Under the reported alignment, the often-criticized Legends and Leaders division names will be replaced by geographic designations East and West. OSU and Michigan will both be placed in the East division along with Michigan State, Penn State, Indiana and the conference’s two new additions, Maryland and Rutgers.

The West division will consist of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin, according to the report.

Brett McMurphy, one of the reporters who broke the story for ESPN, told The Lantern in an email that “it’s not surprising” the conference plans to change the names of its divisions because of negative feedback to those names. “(With) the fact you could split the league in half geographically, it was a fairly easy decision,” McMurphy said. “I think it’s a great long-term decision to split the divisions into East and West.”

McMurphy said he does not believe rivalries or

Coming out of last season’s spring practices, junior linebacker Curtis Grant was tapped as the Ohio State football team’s starter at middle linebacker.

Three disappointing games into the season, Grant was relegated to the bench and found himself in the shadows of junior Ryan Shazier and, later in the season, converted fullback-turned-linebacker Zach Boren.

After not recording a tackle since Week 6 of the 2012 season — and completely missing out on the final two games — one of the big questions heading into this spring was if Grant was ready to make the jump back into the starting lineup.

An eight-tackle performance for the Gray team in the Buckeyes’ annual Spring Game and a strong performance during spring practices might just have been the final push Grant needed to make his way back to the top of the depth chart.

OSU defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell has watched Grant mature this spring and noticed the re-emergence of his passion for the game.

“You saw him love to play the game, you saw his passion and energy,” Fickell said Thursday during interviews with the media. “For all the things that he needs to work on when he’s on the field and he’s playing like that with that passion and energy, those things shine above the things that he really needs to work on.”

Co-defensive coordinator Everett Withers said he thought Grant’s effort has been one of the highlights for the defense this spring.

OSU junior linebacker Curtis Grant stands in between plays during the Spring Game on April 13 at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. The Scarlet team won, 31-14.

The Ohio State baseball team won its rubber match with Illinois, 7-3, after splitting the first two games of the weekend series.

OSU wore camouflage uniforms for Sunday’s game to pay tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. They were originally going to wear them for Tuesday night’s game against Akron, but the game was rained out.

A bombing took place at the Boston Marathon April 15, which led to three deaths and more than 180 injuries. One suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed and the other, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured over the weekend.

The Fighting Illini struck first in the top half of the first inning with two RBI singles by redshirt junior left fielder Jordan Parr and senior third baseman Brandon Hohl, giving them an early 2-0 lead.

OSU responded with a big inning in the bottom of the second, when it added six runs of its own including a three-run home run by redshirt senior second baseman Ryan Cypret.

The three-run shot was Cypret’s third home run of the season.

“We stayed confident,” Cypret said. “High fastball first pitch, then just a low curveball that somehow the stars aligned and I hit it out.”

In the following inning, Illinois was able to get one run back on an RBI single by senior center fielder Justin Parr, trimming the Buckeyes’ lead to 6-3.

OSU then-freshman pitcher Greg Greve fires a pitch during a game against Iowa on May 15, 2011. OSU won, 10-4.

The Buckeyes knocked freshman pitcher Ryan Castellanos out of the game in the bottom of the fifth when freshman third baseman Jacob Bosiokovic hit a one-out RBI double, making the score 7-3.

Senior right-hander Brett McKinney replaced senior pitcher Brian King in the top of the seventh with two outs. King allowed three runs and eight hits in 6.2 innings.

In the top of the ninth, the Buckeyes brought

sophomore closer Trace Dempsey into the game in a non-save situation to get some work.

Dempsey retired the Illini in order and ended the game with a strikeout to give OSU its 25th win, 7-3.

The Buckeyes improve to 25-13 overall and 9-6 in Big Ten play. Illinois falls to 24-12 on the year and 6-6 in conference competition.

King was the winning pitcher and improved his record to 6-4 with a 2.50 ERA. Castellanos took the loss and falls to 2-1 with a 5.20 ERA. Although King struggled in the first inning, when the Buckeyes were able to give him a comfortable lead, he knew he was going to be able to settle in.

“I could put my fastball where I wanted it,” King said. “They picked me up so I knew I needed to pick them up for the rest of the game.”

OSU coach Greg Beals was pleased with the way the Buckeyes have played the last two games, and even happier that they have won two Big Ten series in a row.

“We’ve done it two weekends in a row,” Beals said. “This should be a learning experience for them and learning how to win and what it takes to win games. It really speaks a lot in terms of their competitive toughness.”

The Buckeyes don’t play again until Friday, when they are set to open a weekend series with Penn State at Bill Davis Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

sports Grant from 1B “A guy that I’ve been really pleased with in the front seven is Curtis Grant,” Withers said Thursday. “Curtis, to me, had a productive spring, got better at a lot of things.”

OSU’s defense — in particular its front seven — might be a little inexperienced after graduation took 10 starters, including stars from last season such as Boren, defensive end John Simon and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, who decided to skip his senior season and make himself eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft.

“The reality is that when you have some young guys, there are some different things that you do. When you have some young guys in the spring, sometimes that is the most exciting time,” Fickell said.

But even with the return of Shazier and the growth of sophomore defensive linemen Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington, the question of who would step up as OSU’s middle linebacker seemed to be one of the most important in the offseason.

Withers said he wants to see Grant, who was not made available Thursday, grow as a player and a leader.

“The knowledge of what’s expected at his position,” Withers said. “The ability to play fast at his position, the ability

to be a leader at his position, I felt like those things were improved in Curtis’ corner this spring.”

Fickell said the linebacking corps, while young, are ready to step up and take on their new responsibilities.

“I think we’re still growing, we’re behind where we have been in the past, but that’s obvious just based on our numbers and the guys that we’ve got and the youth that we have,” Fickell said. “But I could not complain one bit about how they came out every single day, the things that we graded on a daily basis their fundamentals, their passion, their energy for the game, their work ethic. Just young, just behind in those senses but there are some guys that really are maturing and stepping up.”

Now back in the starting lineup after a battle with sophomore linebacker Camren Williams in the spring, Grant will be looking to live up to his high ranking as a recruit coming out of high school.

Considered the No. 2 overall football recruit according to Rivals.com in 2011, Grant’s performances have yet to live up to the lofty expectations set for him, only compiling a total of 10 tackles over his first two seasons.

Grant, and his fellow defenders, will get their chance to prove themselves when the team’s season starts at Ohio Stadium on Aug. 31 against Buffalo.

Buckeye softball looks for silver lining after suffering sweep vs. Wisconsin JON SHIELDS Lantern reporter shields.143@osu.edu

OSU junior pitcher Kasie Kelly throws the ball during a game against Penn State April 13 at Buckeye Field. OSU won, 16-7.

The Ohio State softball team was unable to swing its momentum from a Wednesday win against Ball State into Madison, Wis., as Wisconsin swept the Buckeyes in a three-game weekend series.

The Badgers used solid pitching and defense to limit the Buckeyes (27-17, 6-9), winning, 7-6, in 10 innings and again, 3-1, on Saturday, before taking Sunday’s capper, 4-2.

The teams played a doubleheader on Saturday after Friday’s tilt was postponed due to inclement weather.

Despite the sweep, first-year coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly was able to find positives in her team’s performance.

“I thought Mel (Nichols, a redshirt junior pitcher) threw well when we called on her. We will need her down the stretch,” Schoenly said. “(Junior catcher Melissa) Rennie is really seeing the ball well. And over the last several weeks, (sophomore) Maddy McIntyre has really grown as a shortstop. She has worked really hard to increase her range and has done so.”

Nichols pitched 4 1/3 innings on the weekend in her two relief appearances, yielding two hits and giving up no runs while striking out five Badger batters.

Rennie went 1-7 on the weekend, with two starts at

catcher, and McIntyre went 3-9 with two walks and a run scored for the series.

During practice before heading to Madison, Wis., McIntyre said her goals for the series were to focus on her job and “being there for the team.” Schoenly said she thought McIntyre accomplished her personal goals, both defensively and offensively.

Despite OSU’s team struggles offensively against Wisconsin, freshman left fielder Cammi Prantl was able to have a solid individual series at the plate, highlighted by her extension of a 10-game-long hitting streak.

Prantl went 4-10 with two RBIs on the weekend and pushed her season average to a team-leading .365.

“I couldn’t be happier for Cammi,” Schoenly said.

“She is the complete offensive package, with speed and power. She is a confident kid and that helps tremendously in the box.”

Wisconsin came into the weekend second in the Big Ten in stolen bases, and during practice, senior third baseman Megan Coletta said stopping Wisconsin’s speed would be a point of contention for winning the series. Schoenly said that OSU handled Wisconsin’s speed well for the most part, even if it didn’t translate to wins.

With 10 games remaining in the regular season, OSU sits in eighth place in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes are scheduled to face Michigan State, which sits at fifth in the conference, at Buckeye Field Wednesday at 4 p.m. for a doubleheader. Both games will be televised on Big Ten Network.

Israel has accepted virtually all of the “conditions” for reconciliation on which the Palestinians have insisted, with the sole exception of the demand for the “right of return.” That “right” would swamp Israel with hundreds of thousands of Arabs. And it would with one stroke be the end of Israel as the Jewish state. Even for the thorny question of Jerusalem a compromise could be found.

But, having been misled by the thuggish Arafat for decades, Arab Palestine needs a wise leader in order to finally make peace with Israel. In view of Israel’s experience in Lebanon and Gaza and because it would be fatally vulnerable if an armed enemy occupied the Judean heights, the state of Palestine would have to be totally demilitarized and controlled (probably by US military) for compliance. It would be a difficult condition to swallow, but it would have to be the price to gain their own country. But the dream could then finally be fulfilled and peace and prosperity could be extended over all of the Promised Land. Milk and Honey could indeed flow.

aNDREW HOLLERAN / Photo editor

OSU football coach Urban Meyer addresses the media July 26 in Chicago at Big Ten media days.

competitive balance played a role in the restructuring of the Big Ten but was simply based upon geography.

“Some would argue that East is much stronger than West (in college football), but in all conferences one division is usually stronger than the other,” McMurphy said.

During a February interview with The Lantern, OSU athletic director Gene Smith said there was a “real lean toward geography” in realigning the conference for 14 teams but added that both he and Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon thought it would be “beneficial to the conference” to have both teams in the same division.

The Big Ten did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s request for comment.

OSU football historian Jack Park said in February he thought it would be a positive for the Big Ten to have OSU and Michigan in the same division.

“I really think it would be good to do that,” Park said. “I think you’re going to have enough balance with the other good teams that wouldn’t be a problem, although maybe some of the other teams that are in that particular division wouldn’t like that (playing in the same division as both OSU and Michigan).”

Not all fans are in favor of OSU and Michigan being on the same side of the conference.

“If we (OSU) had a chance to be in a (Big Ten)

championship game against them, that would be probably the ultimate game,” said Alex Davidson, a second-year in agricultural engineering.

ESPN also reports that the Big Ten plans to expand its conference football game schedule to nine games from eight, which would allow each team to play all six teams in its division plus three from the opposite division each year.

Smith said in February that the conference was considering expansion to either a nine- or 10-game conference schedule, but a nine-game schedule was more realistic for the purposes of scheduling stronger non-conference opponents.

“We have to have seven home games for our local budget, so there’s a management issue there if you go to 10,” Smith said. “Nine gives us that flexibility to do that, and schedule up, which is what we were doing.

Under the proposed schedule expansion, Big Ten teams would alternate between playing five conference games at home and four conference games on the road, and five on the road and four at home, each year.

By limiting the schedule expansion to only nine games, Big Ten teams can still schedule a non-conference game on the road in years when they have five conference games and still have seven home games.

Men’s lacrosse rallies to take down Air Force, 10-9

daniel rogers Lantern reporter rogers.746@osu.edu What perhaps was expected to be an easy win for the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team Saturday might have proved more challenging than originally thought.

The Buckeyes (9-3, 4-2) had to overcome a halftime deficit to earn a 10-9 victory at Air Force Saturday, which stumbled into the contest with a 1-4 Eastern College Athletic Conference record.

Now on a three-game winning streak, OSU has secured a playoff spot by guaranteeing at least a top-four finish in the ECAC. The Buckeyes are tied for third in the ECAC standings heading into their regular season finale Saturday.

No matter what happens during the final weekend of the season, OSU will be joined by Loyola (Md.), Denver and Fairfield in the conference tournament, since Fairfield clinched its playoff spot Saturday with a 10-9 overtime victory at Denver.

OSU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead Saturday against Air Force (6-7, 1-5), but let the Falcons climb their way back into the game, finishing the first quarter

tied at four. The Falcons, though, took a one-point lead into halftime, 7-6, before conceding three straight goals in the third quarter and falling behind for good.

Co-captain and senior attacker Logan Schuss continued his run of good form, scoring four goals for the Buckeyes, including the series of three in the third quarter, and added one assist. It was his third consecutive game where he scored at least five points, bringing his career total moves to 216, 11 back of second place on the Buckeyes’ all-time points list.

Co-captain and senior midfielder Dominique Alexander added a career-high five points, including two goals, and senior midfielder Trey Wilkes won 15 of 21 faceoffs.

Having missed the last two games due to injury, junior goalkeeper Greg Dutton made his return for OSU in outstanding fashion on Saturday with a career-high 15 saves against the Falcons.

The losses to Denver and Loyola earlier in the year mean that the Buckeyes will finish third in the ECAC with a win over Fairfield Saturday but will drop to fourth with a loss.

The Buckeyes are set to close the regular season and celebrate their Senior Day at home against Fairfield on Saturday at 1 p.m.
