ERIC STONEMAN Lantern reporter stoneman.15@osu.edu The Anthropology Public Outreach Program started from a reaction. A few years ago, posters promoting white supremacy appeared on campus, stirring controversy across the university, including the Department of Anthropology. “We’re all humans and we all understand each other enough that we can understand
differences, and we can understand how we are the same at the core of it,” said Kimberly Whitman, an Ohio State alumna with a degree in anthropology. While trying to find a way to contribute to knowledge while increasing people’s exposure to human diversity, the Department of Anthropology created the Anthropology Public Outreach Program. “We don’t want to lecture; we don’t want to tell you what to believe. We want to give you the tools, put it in front of you and let you
come to your own conclusions,” Emma Lagan, a third-year Ph.D. student in anthropology, said. “You’re more likely to understand and believe in something if you reach that conclusion yourself.” As an exercise, the groups present current-day items and asks participants what the items say about the owner and then do the same with items from the past.

Kirwan Institute releases first implicit bias training for K-12 education AKAYLA GARDNER Lantern reporter gardner.1199@osu.edu Ohio State’s Kirwan Institute for the Study ofOhio State’s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity turned its research into action with the release of the nation’s first free online implicit bias training for K-12 educators on Aug. 29. The institute focuses its research and events on institutional, structural and political injustices affecting minorities. The institute conducted research on how implicit bias — defined on the institute’s website as “the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in
an unconscious manner” — can lead to disparities in school discipline and suspension rates for students of color among many of its reports focused on youth. “Something as simple as how you wear your hair to school can have an effect on the quality of your education,” said Preshuslee Thompson, a research and facilitation specialist who recorded voice-overs and the final scenario for the training. The training has been two years in the making and was created in partnership with the Schott Foundation for Public Education. Senior research associate Kelly Capatosto spearheaded the development of the training and leads the Race and Cognition team at the institute. She has authored several research KIRWIN CONTINUES ON 6

Fall semester begins with Morrill Tower burglaries SHELBY METZGER Lantern reporter metzger.348@osu.edu
In the weeks following the arrival of Ohio State’s new students, residents of Morrill Tower have been met with a string of burglaries. The Ohio State Police Division has identified a trend of burglaries in the residence hall that took place between Aug. 15 and Aug. 30. A public safety notice reported thefts of cash and credit cards from unlocked and unattended residence hall rooms on Aug. 31. “In general, the beginning of the school year leads to an uptick in overall crime,” Ohio State spokesman Dan Hedman said. Ohio State’s police officers, campus security and residence assistants are working to do whatever is necessary to prevent crimes in residence halls. “Our security officers perform a dedicated security patrol for the residence halls seven days a week from 8 p.m. [to] 4 a.m. that includes perimeter checks as well as a check-in with the front desk to determine if there are any issues,” Hedman said in a statement. Ohio State spokesman Dave Isaacs said residence hall directors and residence assistants have meetings with residents throughout the year to discuss safety. “A major focus of what we do is to help students get in the habit of taking safety precautions,” Isaacs said. “Property crimes especially are frequently crimes of opportunity.” While OSUPD and residence hall staff do their part in protecting students on campus, it’s important for students to be responsible and take their own precautions. The Department of Public Safety reminds students to close and lock residence hall rooms when unattended. Additionally, they should not let anyone they do not know into residence halls. The burglaries reportedly occurred at various times during the day and evening. No information has been released about a suspect.

Federal politics look to impact student debt ZACH VARDA Lantern reporter varda.6@osu.edu Whenever a new semester nears, Ohio State students make their way to Buckeye Link to make sure their fees are paid for the semester. For many students, this means accepting student loans. It is simple enough. Buckeye Link has already determined what amount needs to be accepted. All that needs to be done is a confirmation and the payment of fees will take care of itself. Most students will not grapple with their loans until after graduation, when it becomes debt. According to Forbes, there are currently 44.2 million borrowers doing just that, adding up to $1.52 trillion in student loan debt. Those borrowers got a scare when Seth Frotman, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s student loan ombudsman — the top watchdog for student loan providers — resigned in late August, and in the process accused the current administration of hostility toward borrowers. “We have a system that is a debt-based system unfortunately,” said Heather Jarvis, a public interest lawyer who has focused her work on student loans since 2005. “What we learned from the resignation of the ombudsman is that the present administration is actively working to make things even more difficult than they already have been for borrowers and consumers.” The issue has now become political and will likely come into play when Ohio’s major campaigns come to college campuses. Richard Cordray, Democratic gubernatorial candidate and the former head of the CFPB, said
in a statement to The Lantern that there is still much work to be done, citing his own time closing for-profit colleges “that cheated students out of their hard-earned money,” adding that he also fought against lenders who “were saddling students with debt.” “However, it’s clear that there’s still much more we need to do to keep higher education accessible for families in Ohio, which ranks near the bottom nationally in college affordability,” Cordray said in the statement. Fellow Democrat Sherrod Brown, who is running to keep his Senate seat against Jim Renacci, a Republican House representative, introduced the legislation that originally created the ombudsman position and shares Cordray’s concerns about oversight. “Shady lenders and predatory

for-profit schools gained an ally at the CFPB, while students have lost their chief watchdog,” Brown said in an official statement from his Senate office. “The CFPB needs an independent director who will fight for service members and students.”

The gubernatorial campaign of Republican Mike DeWine, who is Ohio’s attorney general, did not respond to a request for comment, and neither did the Renacci camp. Frotman’s resignation letter cited the lack of support from the Department of Education for the CFPB’s work as a major barrier to overseeing the student loan industry. “The Bureau’s new political leadership has repeatedly undercut and undermined career CFPB staff working to secure relief for consumers,” Frotman said in the letter. “When the Education Department unilaterally shut the door to routine CFPB oversight of the largest student loan companies, the Bureau’s current leadership folded to political pressure.” Jarvis said that the Department of Education has never provided great oversight for student loans, but this administration is going a step further. “It has never been the case that the Department of Education has adequately supervised these ser-

modern context to human history. With anthropology’s focus on human diversity, it was easy for a lot of people within the department to want to “go out on the street and scream and say how everyone is wrong,” said Mark Hubbe, associate professor of anthropology. “But after that initial reaction boiled down a little bit, we decided we need to think this through.” Hubbe said he sees the country as binary in nature and there is not a lot of middle ground when it comes to clashing beliefs. “If we are another binary in this nation, we are just adding to the problem,” Hubbe said. “As anthropologists, we know more about human diversity because we are exposed to more.” Every Saturday, APOP goes to COSI and allows children and adults to pick up 3D-printed skulls and models of skeletal remains. Program members also visit local Columbus schools and challenge kids to think critically and analytically. Science has become increasingly specialized over the years, Hubbe
said, with terminology and jargon that make it difficult to understand without background knowledge. One of APOP’s primary goals is to take that language and translate it into something more accessible.

In the end, APOP isn’t trying to create anthropologists, but contribute knowledge and understanding to society. “Human beings are much more than what we are used to,” Hubbe said. “We are exposed to only a small portion of the culture, of the diversity that exists on our planet.”

“Toxic Avenger” brings an edge to the Columbus theater scene ISABEL HALL Lantern reporter hall.2220@osu.edu
With crude humor and an action-packed script, the musical “Toxic Avenger,” inspired by a 1984 cult film of the same name, brings a rock ’n’ roll edge to the Columbus theater scene. Produced by local theater company Short North Stage, “Toxic Avenger” tells the story of a nerd who gets dumped into a vat of toxic waste after seeking to discover who was the cause of pollution in his hometown. The exposure to toxic waste turns him into the Toxic Avenger, Toxie, a crime-fighting mutant who seeks to put an end to the villain polluting his town. Executive director Tim Valentine said Short North Stage decided on the production because it deviated from the typical shows Columbus is used to seeing. “The artistic director [Edward Carignan] went through choices and decided on “Toxic Avenger” because it had never been to Columbus, never been done in Ohio and never been done in the region,” Valentine said. “We picked it because it’s fun and edgy.” Local actor Jesse Trieger plays the protagonist of the show, Melvin Ferd III, who later becomes the Toxic Avenger. Trieger, who began acting in community theater when he was a child, said “Toxic Avenger” is unlike any other show he has starred in. “I’ve played nerdy characters before, but never somebody who’s so strongly fighting for what he believes in and is afforded the opportunity of becoming super strong and a mutant superhero,” Trieger said. “It’s fun, and the humor is adult and crude.” Other characters who join Toxie during his journey are Sarah the Blind Librarian, Toxie’s love interest, and Mayor Babs Belgoody, the villain of the show. Short North Stage is currently in its eighth season and has been producing shows since 2011. Valentine said Short North Stage casts local, national and international actors, which allows it to work with people who have different backgrounds and experiences. “The most fun part about working in theater is being creative and having the creativity to pull off something very interesting on a small budget,” Valentine said. “I also love the people. It’s great being around all the creative people, bringing them together and watching the collaboration that happens.”

CELLOHIO to bring Bach to students SETH SHANLEY Lantern reporter shanley.15@osu.edu The slow-paced, soothing sounds of Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major. The iconic, upbeat rhythm of Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prelude. These famous compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach — and many more — will replace the standard mix of modern music played over the speakers in the Heirloom Cafe at the Wexner Center for the Arts and at the Ohio Union this weekend performed by student cellists from CELLOHIO. The “Bach to School” event aims to expose students to the works of Bach and give musicians in the ensemble a chance at real-world experience. “Bach to School is a program to get cellists out playing music in spaces that are open to the public,” said Clara Davison, a fourth-year arts management major and executive director of CELLOHIO. “We strive to have interesting opportunities outside of the practice room.” The concert will be comprised of solo performances by the musicians in the ensemble, giving them the opportunity to showcase their individual talents. The event does not have a standard concert set-up.
CELLOHIO prefers a casual setting, where students are not pressured to pay full attention to the performance, according to artistic director Samuel Johnson. “The vibe for all of our live performances is going to be one of ease and comfort,” Johnson said. “Not the type of thing where you’re in the concert hall and you have to pay a ticket to get in.” All attendees are encouraged to switch between each cellist performance at will and choose how they want their listening experience to occur. “These performances that we want to give are aimed at a sort of impromptu nature,” Johnson said. “Take a video of the performer. Walk up to the second story and hear a different perspective.” Johnson also said CELLOHIO aims to make the experience unforgettable for audience members. “What we hope to create is a unique and interactive and ephemeral experience where what you’re hearing in this moment is totally unique to the space that we’re playing in,” Johnson said. “Not a concert hall, but you happen to be at Heirloom and here’s this amazing music that can lift you out of your everyday life.” This annual event put on by CELLOHIO will take place at the Heirloom Cafe at 11:30 a.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. at the Ohio Union on Saturday.

Art exhibition to empower women, challenge art history norms MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu
Femininity, race, sexuality, art history, identity and power. These are the themes explored in New York-based artist Mickalene Thomas’ new exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Thomas’ exhibit, “I Can’t See You Without Me,” will bring more than 50 paintings from her extensive body of work to the Wexner Center and is set to open to the public Friday. While Thomas creates works across different mediums, “I Can’t See You Without Me” is concentrated specifically on her large scale and thought-provoking paintings.
“The focus of [the exhibition] in talking to Mickalene was focused primarily on her painting — although there’s work across media. But really [looks] closely at four muses and collaborators who have been ... among the most important figures in her career trajectory,” said Lucy Zimmerman, assistant curator at the Wexner Center. The exhibit is organized into four galleries, each devoted to Thomas’ four muses: her mother, herself, her former lover Maya and life partner, Racquel. Michael Goodson, senior curator at the Wexner Center, said the exhibition is also about challenging older art historical concepts, such as the male gaze, which views women as objects for

men. “[Thomas’ work] essentially looks deeply at the history of painting, which is a history replete with men and the ideas of men,” Goodson said. “She sort of reclaims both in terms of being a woman, and furthermore being a black woman, and furthermore a black woman who is a lesbian.” Thomas accomplishes this not only by using the art historical concept of the muse, but also by taking a look at how black women were portrayed in blaxploitation films — films exploiting black stereotypes — in the 1970s. “I think she’s kind of thinking through these limited and somewhat flat ideas of how women are presented and really then thinking lovingly of her family, her relationships, and putting these women — elevating them on the same level as any COURTESY OF CLARA DAVISON other subject,” Zimmerman said.

-vices or held them accountable for delivering good service to borrowers,” Jarvis said. “But the present administration is signaling to the industry that they can feel free to go ahead and rip off borrowers with impunity.” Jarvis said the publicity of the resignation is a good example of the rising awareness of the issue. However, she said despite the increased understanding of the issue, people need to do more than just understand the issue, and the information is “a call to action for people that care about affordable higher education.” Frothman’s resignation letter won’t be in the news cycle forever, but student debt will continue to linger on. Ohio State students need not look far to see the problem, as according to Forbes Ohio sits at No. 7 among all states for total student debt. Ohio hosts 1.7 million borrowers whose total debt adds up to $53.5 billion. These numbers bring Ohio’s student debt per capita to $5,700, which is 15.8 percent above the national per capita average of $4,920. Jarvis said one problem is that student loans make college seem affordable, even if they are not. “I think that it is important for people evaluating schools to recognize that price matters and that the system of student loans enables us to enroll in school that we honestly can’t afford,” Jarvis said. “So the first thing to do is selecting an education that is within reach and taking what steps you can to minimize your cost so you can minimize your borrowing.” To that end, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Consumer Panel, the highest concentration of

student borrowers owe between $10,000 and $25,000. This bracket of borrowers contains more than 12 million people with the second-largest concentration of borrowers falling in the $25,000 to $50,000 range of borrowers. More than 1 million borrowers owe a staggering $100,000 to $150,000. For most borrowers, it’s not getting better. According to additional data from the FRBNY Consumer Panel, at the end of 2017, 21.3 million borrowers currently on payments either owed the same amount or more than the previous quarter, which amounts to 47.5 percent of all borrowers. This can all be a scary situation for borrowers, and one where progress is grueling, but Jarvis suggests that nothing is more valuable than education on the topic.

Jincy Dunne shines at Under-22 USA-Canada hockey series BRIAN NELSON Lantern reporter nelson.1302@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s hockey team might currently be in the offseason, but that does not mean every player is taking a break from hockey. On Aug. 16-19, three players from the Buckeyes were invited to compete in the Under-22 USA vs. Canada women’s series. Redshirt junior defenseman Jincy Dunne was one of the players picked to represent the USA team. She was joined by senior defenseman Lauren Boyle and sophomore forward Emma Maltais, with Maltais playing on Team Canada. It should come as no surprise that Dunne was selected to compete for Team USA. The defender scored a career-high 26 points, finishing tied for the team lead in assists with 24, which was tied for second place in the WCHA. She finished the season with AllWCHA first team honors and will serve as a captain for Ohio State this upcoming season. Dunne said playing for her country was a special moment. “Obviously any time you get a chance to put on the jersey it’s such an honor,” Dunne said. “To get to do that with the top 22 players of your age group and peers is incredible.” Not only did Dunne get to play in those games, but she scored the
Ohio State is coming off its first Frozen Four appearance in program history with a relatively young roster. The team is looking to build off that performance, and having key players participate in the event could help build momentum for the upcoming season.

game-winning goal in the second game of a three-game sweep by Team USA to take the lead 2-1 with 7:21 left to go in the third period. In addition, she earned another point by getting an assist on the first goal. Dunne said she has a lot to learn from her experience in the series.
“I think being at that level, everyone is someone you can learn from,” Dunne said. “Whether they be a coach, player or other staff member, there are endless opportunities to learn, grow and get better.” Things were no different from the side of Team Canada. Maltais said she found the experience to
be equally as rewarding. “It was an honor to be chosen to represent my country,” Maltais said. “I was so excited when I found out, and to be able to play against the U.S. when you’re playing for Canada. I got to experience that with a lot of talented players and I learned a lot that week.”
For Dunne, this experience might help establish her as a key leader for the team. “I think playing against the best of the best starts us out at a high level,” Dunne said. “One thing I loved about playing for Team USA, is they really tried to institute a team-first culture. So, everything you do, your team is above you. I absolutely love that, and I may be the captain, but I also want to make sure I’m serving my teammates to the best of my ability.”

them,” Day said. “You saw Johnnie [Dixon], you see Terry [McLaurin] down the field, one-on-one situations with cornerbacks and then it’s just a matter of making the throw and catch. So it all starts with running the football, and if we can force that seventh guy in the box, that opens up stuff in the pass game.” With Haskins working almost strictly through the air, Day said big games from Dobbins and Weber allow for more chances to beat safeties on deep throws “whether it’s with [a run-pass option] or play-action pass,” something made more important in a matchup that’s expected to be closer than the previous two. It might have been Oregon State. It might have been Rutgers. But Haskins has lived up to the high expectations left behind by former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett. Breaking the Ohio State record for passing yards and touchdowns in a first start, then completing 87 percent of passes for four touchdowns in his second, Haskins has looked the part of a worthy successor to one of the Buckeyes’ most decorated quarterbacks. Now, coming into TCU, Haskins has an opportunity to prove his worth against an opponent that seems more fit for the challenge than any he has ever faced.

Schiano said the defensive line will have to completely change its approach. “It changes all the math,” Schiano said. “When the quarterback carries the ball and can do it well, then you know, the defensive math changes and really, playing good defense is getting people to the point of attack and then making the tackle.” Instead of focusing on bringing Robinson down for a loss, Schiano said Ohio State will have to take into consideration his ability to scramble, changing the approach from sacking the quarterback to just bringing him down without allowing significant
yardage. While Robinson runs, the TCU offensive line will likely continue to try and contain Bosa on the line, something Schiano said his teammates will have to help him through. “We need to help him and he needs to be a little bit more aware; his teammates need to help him,” Schiano said. “When there’s someone motioning that’s in a position to crack him, we have to let him know because they are doing things special for sure.” Schiano refused to say whether he thought Bosa was the best player in the country, not
stating whether he believed Bosa should be considered for the Heisman Trophy. But he did call him one of the most dominant players in college football, and the Ohio State defensive coordinator is glad he does not have to plan to play against him. “I like him on our team,” Schiano said. “I know that.”

The redshirt sophomore quarterback combined for 546 yards and nine touchdowns with only one interception while completing 79.2 percent of his throws. These eye-raising statistics came against Oregon State and Rutgers, who held the third- and 55th-worst scoring defenses in the NCAA last season, respectively. Now, with TCU, the 16th-best scoring defense in 2017, on the horizon, Haskins and the Ohio State offense will be getting their first real test of the season. For Haskins, his first real test as a starter. Besides the final 20 minutes of the Michigan game last season, Haskins’ experience came at the end of games that were decided well before he ever touched the field. Haskins will be making his first collegiate start against a ranked opponent at a neutral site 18 miles from TCU’s campus. In doing so, he has an opportunity to build on
the games get tighter, every play matters even more. And so the mistakes are still there,” Day said. “The interception in the red zone two games ago, or, you know, a play with false starting or sack on third down; those plays in a big game are going to show up even more.”
“So it all starts with running the football, and if we can force that seventh guy in the box, that opens up stuff in the pass game.” Ryan Day Ohio State interim head coach

his already impressive stats. In the press conference on Monday, acting head coach and offensive coordinator Ryan Day said he has seen promising decision-making in Haskins’ first two starts under center.
“Whether it’s before or after the snap, he has to make decisions,” Day said. “He has the ability to make a check or in the pass game, he can change the protection and slide it one way or the other. He has a good handle on that.”
Day said that despite the early season success Haskins has found, there are still plenty of mistakes to be corrected, especially with TCU coming up on the schedule. “I think that, you know, when
To avoid these mistakes, Haskins will have to rely more on the rest of his offense than he has thus far, with sophomore and redshirt junior running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber having the big-game experience to help relieve some of the pressure. “I think the combination of a great offensive line and J.K. and Mike, you have to account for HASKINS CONTINUES ON 7
Bosa’s approach unchanged by mobile quarterback COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu With the expectation of living up to his brother’s collegiate legacy, junior Nick Bosa has made a name for himself at the end of the Ohio State defensive line. After recording 15 tackles for loss in 2017, Bosa has not had many one-on-one looks this season, with opponents bringing two offensive linemen or one offensive lineman and one tight end to try and keep him from getting into the backfield. Even with the double-teams and the amount of attention he has received by opposing offensive lines, Bosa still finds a way to get in the offensive backfield. Through two games, he has five tackles for loss, including three sacks, recording three tackles for loss in Saturday’s game against Rutgers.
“When the quarterback carries the ball and can do it well, then you know, the defensive math changes.” Greg Schiano Ohio State defensive coordinator
“He’s playing at a high level, very high level,” defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said. “As an offensive coach, you’re going to know where he is all the time.” Teams have shifted the focus of their offensive line on Bosa, keeping him contained at the line of scrimmage. In Schiano’s opinion, that is a dangerous game to play. “It is a trade-off in everything you do on offense, as well as on defense,” Schiano said. “If they choose to keep a double on Nick and a double on Chase [Young], then the single on Dre’Mont [Jones]. And they have to kind of pick which ones they want to double on.” Opponents also have to create an offensive approach to

try and beat the speed of Bosa and the rest of the defensive line. Schiano said the defensive line has to plan for how fast opposing quarterbacks are throwing the ball and creating a plan to attack the protection scheme in front of them. Along with planning for the short-pass game and the pass protection schemes, TCU will likely bring another element to the defensive line that the Buckeyes have not seen
this season: a mobile quarterback. Through two games, sophomore quarterback Shawn Robinson has beaten opposing defenses not only with his arm, but with his legs. He is the Horned Frogs’ leading rusher, averaging 11.2 yards per carry and 56 yards per game, scoring three touchdowns. DEFENSE CONTINUES ON 7
