OSU steps up Ebola efforts after Ohio case REGINA FOX Lantern reporter fox.1001@osu.edu Ohio State is ramping up its preparedness efforts to combat the Ebola virus after it was confirmed that someone with the virus was in the state for six days. Meanwhile, some students with family and friends in the Cleveland and Akron areas where the patient with the virus was visiting, said they’re worried about it spreading, while others said they’re confident health officials will keep it contained. OSU spokeswoman Liz Cook said OSU is monitoring the Ebola outbreak. “The university, including experts at the Wexner Medical Center, is continuing efforts that began in August to prepare for the possibility of a suspect or confirmed EVD case within the university or within the Central Ohio community,” Cook said in a Wednesday email. Amber Joy Vinson — a 29-year-old nurse who flew out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Monday after visiting family members in Akron — was diagnosed with the Ebola virus a day later. On Tuesday — a day after returning to Dallas —Vinson reported a low-grade fever and was isolated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said she was being transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. According the CDC website, Ebola can only be spread from contact with the blood or bodily fluids of a person or animal who is infected with or has died from Ebola. Less than two weeks ago, at least one doctor at OSU said the chances of Ebola spreading to Central Ohio were slim. “Very, very low. The way to mitigate the Ebola spread is to put the patient in isolation and those they have been in contact with in isolation,” said Dr. Christina Liscynesky, an assistant professor in the OSU Wexner Medical Center Department

Andrew Cuomo instructed the State University of New York, consisting of 64 campuses, to alter its policies to make affirmative consent the policy, according to The New York Times. In New Hampshire, Representative Renny Cushing has filed a bill for the state’s college campuses to also adopt a “yes means yes” policy. More than 20 years ago, Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio implemented the first “yes means yes” concept. At the time, the policy received criticism and was mocked on “Saturday Night Live.” The White House’s launch of the “It’s On Us” campaign against sexual assault on college campuses on Sept. 19 has also contributed to the national attention the subject has garnered recently. The campaign aims to take the burden off survivors of sexual assault by encouraging everyone to do their part to fight the issue of sexual assault on campus, according to the White House website. OSU’s pro-consent policies, initiatives Along with the information regarding sexual misconduct and consent in the Code of Student Conduct, the Student Wellness Center also has a webpage dedicated to the topic of consent. The page exists because of the complexity of the topic of consent, said Michelle Bangen, sexual violence prevention coordinator at OSU. “We know that sexual consent is one of the most confusing topics for college students and probably the most misunderstood topic with regard to sexual violence and sexual assault,” Bangen said. Both the Code of Student Conduct and the Student Wellness Center’s consent page have language and ideas similar to those in the “yes means yes” law. One similarity is the notion that consent should

3 indecency incidents near campus “The fact that I didn’t ask to see it, that I didn’t want to see it — I just felt violated.” - Emily Bowman Third-year in communication CHELSEA SPEARS Multimedia editor spears.116@osu.edu The knock on the basement window couldn’t have come at a worse time. It was past midnight and Lauren Tepe and her roommates had just finished watching “American Horror Story” in the basement of their off-campus house, Tepe recalled. “We have a big window in our basement and we hear this knock,” said Tepe, a thirdyear in psychology. “We were like, ‘What was that?’” At first, Tepe said it looked like someone was waving at the girls from behind a closed window. But when the girls got closer, Tepe said they realized it was a man masturbating while staring into their room. “I was just scared and confused and creeped out,” Tepe said. It’s not the first time a man has been caught masturbating in the north off-campus area lately, either. Over the course of just five days, Columbus Division of Police officers have taken three different public indecency reports — all of which occurred within several blocks of each other — and it’s possible that they’re all related, Columbus Police Commander Christopher Bowling said. Bowling said the suspect descriptions in all three cases are similar, citing a white male of about the same weight and who falls between 5-feet-5-inches and 5-feet10-inches tall. Emily Bowman, a third-year in communication, said something similar happened to her just days after the incident at Tepe’s house. Bowman said she was on the

OSU listens to the most classical music AMANDA ETCHISON Senior Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu If asked to compile a playlist of music that embodies the Ohio State student experience, perhaps the chorus of “Hang on Sloopy” or the bombastic sounds of the OSU Marching Band would come to mind. But what about Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” or Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”? While a playlist filled with Mozart or Strauss might not initially evoke images of Ohio Stadium or Brutus Buckeye, a recent Spotify study has identified OSU as the U.S. university that listens to the most classical music. The study, which was conducted by music subscription service Spotify, used the music intelligence services of its newly acquired subsidiary, The Echo Nest, to track the listening habits of student subscribers throughout the nation. “(When) people are at college and at university, they are figuring out what they want to do with their lives … and to a certain extent, they (discover) what music they are going to like,” said Spotify data storyteller Eliot Van Buskirk. Van Buskirk said the listening
data was collected from Spotify listeners who had previously registered for the company’s student deal, a discount given to individuals currently enrolled at accredited higher education institutions in the U.S. The discount allows current students access to Spotify’s premium services, which include unlimited ad-free streaming of songs, as well as the ability to download songs to play while offline. Spotify Premium costs about $10 per month, but the price is reduced to about $5 per month once a student’s name, date of birth and university is verified. Trends in students’ listening habits were interpreted and summarized from this data, Van Buskirk said. “We started with a longer list of the schools with the most Spotify subscribers … Out of our Spotify listeners, the schools that put in the most time listening is where that list comes from,” he said. “(Then we looked at) the amount of listening per capita at each school.” Other schools in the study include Purdue University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Alabama and Cornell University. Spotify ranked the schools based on the number of plays
per student subscriber at each college studied. The results were posted in September on the Spotify Insights blog. OSU is ranked No. 21 out of 40 on Spotify’s published list of “Top 40 Most Musical Universities in America.”

campus Yes from 1A be given throughout the course of sexual activity. “Affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time,” reads the California bill. “If consent is not obtained prior to each act of sexual behavior (from kissing to intercourse), it is not consensual sex,” reads the Student Wellness Center’s consent page. “I think it’s really important that we educate people that they need consent every step of the way because there’s a lot of times when individuals may think that it’s implied by body language or by previous sexual activities,” Bangen said. “Two individuals may be perfectly happy and fine doing one activity, and if an individual assumes that they have consent for the next thing, that can definitely lead to a nonconsensual situation and sexual assault.” The basic notion of the California law is also comparable with OSU policies. “Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent,” reads the “yes means yes” law. The Student Wellness Center’s consent page states, “The absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.’” Likewise, the Code of Student Conduct defines consent as “affirmatively agreeing” to partake in sexual activity. This language, as well as the stipulations that “consent may be withdrawn at any time” and “prior sexual activity or relationship does not, in and of itself, constitute consent” were all additions to the Code of Student Conduct in June 2012, when its consent policies were revised from its December 2007 version, Isaacs said. This idea of focusing on affirmative consent, rather than the lack of refusal, which is woven through both the California law and OSU’s consent initiatives, is important for individuals who might not feel comfortable saying no, Bangen said. “The (responsibility) is on the initiator to gain consent. It’s not on the other person to say no,” she said. The Student Wellness Center’s webpage also features photos from their “Consent is Sexy” campaign,

which aims to inform students on how talking and getting consent should be a good thing and not awkward like some might think, Bangen said. “The ‘consent is sexy’ campaign was really developed as a way to get students talking about the issue and also feeling more comfortable with it,” she said. One of the images reads, “No is not yes. Drunk is not yes. Not sure is not yes. Silence is not yes.” In larger text at the bottom, it says, “Yes is Yes.” Whereas the Student Wellness Center focuses on prevention and education, the Student Advocacy Center and Counseling and Consultation Service are where students can get help if they are sexually assaulted, Bangen said. Comparing reported sexual offenses among Big 10 universities OSU had the third highest number of forcible sexual offenses reported on campus in 2013 of any Big 10 university, according to respective universities’ annual safety reports. Universities are required by law to annually provide certain crime data occurring on campus to students. The University of Wisconsin had the most with 29 reported. The University of Iowa and University of Nebraska-Lincoln both had the fewest with four reported each. Still, these statistics only reflect the number of reported offenses and thus are not necessarily reflective of which university has more or less sexual assaults occurring on its campus. The National Research Council estimates 80 percent of sexual assaults go unreported, according to a November 2013 article from USA Today. “There are so many variables that go into that calculation that it’s dangerous to say that one campus is safer than another based off nothing but (annual crime statistics),” LoMonte said. LoMonte used the example of how colleges with lower sexual assault statistics could be more dangerous than those with a higher number reported. “I’m not really sure I would regard
a college with a zero in its crime report as being a safe place. I think you could equally infer that that’s a place that isn’t honest with its students about crime or a place that discourages people from reporting,” he said. So far this year, OSU has issued eight public safety notices. Four were related to sexual assaults, two were related to robberies, one was related to an armed robbery and one was related to an attempted armed robbery. Kara Spada, a fourth-year in political science, said she thought the number of forcible sexual offenses that occurred on OSU’s campus last year, 25, was “alarming” in comparison to the largeness of the university. “Twenty-five seems low generally compared to what I expected it to be, it being such a busy university,” Spada said. Steven Pesa, a third-year in economics, also referenced the size of the university when voicing his thoughts on the number of sexual assaults that occurred at OSU but said he thought the number could be lower. “Obviously, the ideal number is zero, but it’s not too bad considering we have, like, 50,000 people on campus,” he said. Spada said she thought OSU having the third highest number reported in the Big 10 was surprising, considering she thought the number was low. “It’s surprising to me because the numbers are so low, but you hear so many more stories about things happening. It sounds like so many are going unreported,” she said. Pesa, however, said he did not find OSU having the third highest alarming. “We have more people — more people, more problems,” he said. As for his thoughts on whether he would like to see Ohio adopt the “yes means yes” law, he said he thought the law might help “the legality of the situation” but not necessarily change the culture. Spada said she would like to see Ohio adopt “yes means yes” or some kind of new policy regarding sexual assault. “I think any sort of law to help an issue like this would be beneficial,” she said.
Music from 1A Conference schools at number 15 and the University of Michigan ranks at No. 29. “It is interesting because it is all U.S. college students, so it is about finding out how they are similar and how they differ,” Van Buskirk said. “To me, the beauty is looking at each school and seeing the stuff that jumps out there, especially the distinctive genres and artists.” On the Spotify Insights website, each ranked school has a comprehensive summary of campus-specific listening habits, Van Buskirk said. “Some of these statistics are distinctive, meaning you are looking at this school versus all of the other schools,” he said. For example, OSU’s Spotify Insights page said tropical music was played less often than at the other top 40 schools. Classical music, however, was played more often than at any of the other schools. “I suspect it is because we have a big school of music here on campus,” said David Huron, a professor who heads the Cognitive and Systematic Musicology Laboratory within the OSU School of Music. Some students had their own theories as to why classical music emerged as a genre distinctly linked to OSU. “At first, I was surprised by the classical (music) ranking,” said Kristin George, a secondyear in business. “But I know that I listen to classical music when I study, so that could be the reason why.” Casie Jingle, a secondyear in biology, said listening to classical music while studying might explain its prevalence in the data, but the trend might also be a result of OSU’s large student population. “(I was surprised) that classical music was toward the top,” Jingle said. “I don’t know if it is just because it
is good studying music or because we have such a large population, so you would just have more people who are listening to it.” Although classical music is listened to more often at OSU than at other schools, it is not the most popular genre of music among students on campus. According to Spotify Insights, more than 50 percent of the music OSU students listen to is pop, about 24 percent is dance or electronic dance music and about 22 percent is hip hop. In comparison, classical music only takes up about 0.5 percent of the music streamed through Spotify at OSU. But that’s still 900 percent higher than the average of all schools of .05 percent. Although distinct trends exist in students’ music listening habits, there is no magic formula that explains what makes listeners play one song more often than another, Huron said. “I don’t think we really understand what is involved in music preference,” he said. “Of course there are lots of factors that must play a role. We know that past experience plays a huge role. There are a few things that we can point to that we know are factors, but I don’t know anyone who has produced a comprehensive explanation for why someone prefers ‘piece x’ to ‘piece y.’” It is this seemingly unanswerable question that the Spotify Insights team hopes to further explore in several upcoming studies, Van Buskirk said. “There is ongoing engagement that people have with music after it is released,” he said. “I am interested in delving deeper into music for studying or music for work … It’s for fun, really. It is interesting, that is why we are doing this.”

Others like Colin Angelotti, a fourth-year in construction systems management, who is also originally from Cleveland, said he has hope the disease won’t spread within the state. “It is unbelievable that Ms. Vinson thought it would be appropriate to fly on a commercial flight having just treated a patient with Ebola,” Angelotti said in an email. “I am optimistic that the Ohio Department of Health has the proper protocol ready to quarantine and contain this disease.” Katie Widman of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, located about 24 miles from Cleveland, is a second-year marketing major who was alarmed after hearing the news but, like Angelotti, she said she has faith in Ohio’s health system. “The news of a

basement-level of her house with her roommates on Oct. 12 when she heard something. It was a knock on her window. She turned around and — standing right outside her window — was a fully-exposed man touching himself. “The fact that I didn’t ask to see it, that I didn’t want to see it — I just felt violated,” Bowman said. Bowman said her roommates turned off the basement lights so the perpetrator could no longer see into the room. She said they figured he would just leave, but instead, he moved to another part of the window and began masturbating again. “At that point, we were just trying to figure out what to do,” Bowman said. Eventually, the perpetrator left the property and about an hour later, Bowman called the cops, she said. When police arrived at Bowman’s house on East Woodruff Avenue, she said officers told the women about the other incident that had happened at Tepe’s house on East Lane Avenue. “I’m happy we got it reported and
connection between the Ebola virus and Cleveland was very unsettling at first,” Widman said. “But I think that out of any city, Cleveland is one of the most equipped to handle the situation and eradicate any chance of further contact due to their prominent health facilities.” Ohio Gov. John Kasich also acknowledged Ohio’s strong health care system in a statement he issued yesterday in response to the Ebola incident in the Buckeye state. “Ohio has a sophisticated state and local public health network that has been preparing for this possibility for several months and those plans are now being activated,” the statement read. “The Department of Health’s epidemiologists are on-site in Summit County to support local efforts and are in ongoing communication with the CDC to make sure we have the most up-to-date information.” Although Kasich’s statement said individuals who did not have direct contact with Vinson are at a low risk of contracting the virus, he added that precautionary measures are of the utmost importance at this time. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that officials are working to identify individuals who might have been exposed to the disease — like those who were in contact with Vinson — so that they can be monitored “in a way that allows us to make certain that the disease does not spread further.” CDC officials are set to travel to Ohio as early as Wednesday evening to assist in efforts combating the virus. Ohioans who have questions about Ebola can call a 24/7 call center that the Ohio Department of Health established Wednesday. Vinson likely contracted the Ebola virus while caring for patient Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, who died Oct. 8. That was the first documented case in the United States. Vinson is the second nurse to have been diagnosed with the virus in Dallas, the first being Nina Pham who is in “improved condition” as of Wednesday afternoon. Frontier Airlines — the airline Vinson flew on — issued a statement soon after being notified of their infected passenger, saying Vinson hadn’t exhibited any symptoms or sign of illness while on the flight. The CDC issued a similar statement and reached out to Vinson’s 132 fellow passengers on the Frontier flight from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth, asking that they identify themselves to the CDC so that interviews can be conducted to ensure no one else was infected. Frontier Airlines was cleaned twice before being put back into service Wednesday. Certain areas of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport have been disinfected as well.
that the other girls on Lane called the police too,” Bowman said. “I’m not happy that it happened twice but I’m happy … (the police) know it’s happening.” And that’s the best course of action anyone can take, Bowling said. Even if something or someone just looks suspicious, Bowling said it’s best to play it safe and call 911. “Don’t think twice about calling the police,” Bowling said. “If you see something that looks out of place, call. Just do us a favor and call.” Bowling said police received one other public indecency report Oct. 8. That time, unidentified witnesses called police saying a man was exposing himself on Waldeck Avenue at about 10 p.m. The next day, officers received Tepe’s call about the man masturbating behind the window. On Oct. 12, they got Bowman’s call. “Our folks are looking at it like it’s possibly the same guy,” Bowling said. “But they don’t know for certain.” It’s just as likely one person is behind the crimes as it is multiple people, Bowling said. He said they’ve collected evidence
at one scene that will hopefully help identify a suspect. Bowling said the man who’s been seen on OSU’s campus is likely not Clint Wolf, the suspect who was arrested Monday for masturbating in Grandview Heights and who also matches the description of the Grandview Heights flasher, who has exposed himself to women at least 15 times, according to other local media outlets. Regardless, Bowling said these types of incidents are hard to protect against because no one knows when or where the perpetrator will strike. “You’re never sure why somebody is doing this. We could get into the social sciences of it but there are any number of reasons,” Bowling said. “It’s just some random stuff that’s hard to protect against.” For Tepe, the whole situation makes her uneasy. “The fact that it kind of happened twice is kind of scary,” Tepe said. “I just don’t understand why it’s happening.” As Bowman put it, “it was a little hard to sleep that night for all of us.”

Yann Schreiber Lantern reporter schreiber.135@osu.edu A nurse flew from Cleveland to Dallas a day before she was isolated for Ebola, a few days after a patient she took care of died of Ebola and a day after one of her colleagues was tested positively for Ebola. She was in direct contact with a highly infective disease, and still flew around the U.S. A few weeks ago, politicians were arguing on imposing travel bans on affected countries in West Africa. Why, in one of the medically most advanced countries, are people who had direct contact with Ebola during their work allowed to fly through the country during their incubation period? Wouldn’t it make some sort of common sense to monitor those treating Ebola patients, without giving them the ability to fly around and geographically spread the virus? This becomes even more of a problem when security procedures might not have been 100 percent secure. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Wednesday “she should not have flown on a commercial airline.” Well, why isn’t it standard procedure to keep a close eye on those in direct contact with the virus? Because of fear Africans could import the disease, the U.S. and the U.K. have started screenings at airports for flights from impacted countries. It is a sad truth — we only really started caring about Ebola when it spread to the West. “Staff being dispatched to Ebola affected regions follow very strict safety procedures before, during and after their assignment,” said Brice de le Vingne, director of operations with the humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières, in a statement Oct. 6. If a nonprofit organization enforces strict procedures after assignments, why doesn’t the CDC do so? Is it because Ebola spreads only in what are thought of as uncivilized countries in West Africa? Western medical systems are better equipped to handle an outbreak like Ebola. Still, it is now clear: Ebola does not only spread in far-away Africa. It does spread in the U.S., as it does in Europe. Believing “we” are superior, in any way, only makes the response to the outbreak less effective. Before thinking of travel bans for whole countries, we might need to reconsider why people who had direct contact with the virus are allowed to fly. Health care workers should be closely monitored for 21 days after their last contact with Ebola. They should not be allowed to travel and they should be very careful in their daily lives. It’s not common sense to enable people directly in contact with the virus to move around the country. It is true that those healthcare workers had protective gear while working, but we all should have known that every safety procedure has its failures. The case of the infected Spanish nurse proved this. The U.S. still kept the same procedures, without being willing to learn. To make it clear: this is not about arguing that every health care worker should be isolated for 21 days; it is not about saying that Ebola is about to spread all over the U.S.; it is only about questioning procedures, challenging arrogant policies, learning from errors and applying a good portion of common sense.

I rushed over to the Union after class, umbrella in hand, not knowing what to expect and not feeling particularly excited. STEP received some criticism last year from participants about its lack of structure, with many students uncertain as to what they were even doing. Although I enjoyed my STEP experience last year, I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing at this expo. I made the mandatory poster, which admittedly served as a pleasant distraction from midterm studying. (Students could choose to do a poster, video, demonstration or display.) However, I had no idea who would be there and if anyone would want to talk to me about my experience studying abroad in London for the month of May. I was delightfully surprised to find that it wasn’t just ALEX DRUMMER / Oller reporter faculty roaming around an empty Alex Drummer’s poster for the STEP room and a lot of current STEP Expo on Oct. 14. students were in attendance. Several students stopped at my table in the first few minutes of my presentation slot, and they didn’t just stop to look at the pictures. Many asked in-depth questions about my experience and seemed genuinely interested in how I spent my days abroad. Answering all their questions not only reminded me of the incredible time I had studying abroad, but it also hopefully encouraged them to do the same. It was great to feel like a useful source of insight and be able to give back to a program that helped make my dreams come true. Being in the inaugural class of STEP, I did not get the chance to experience the expo and talk to students who were in my shoes a year before, but I can only imagine it would have been useful. Nonetheless, I was fortunate enough to pick a transformational experience that ended up suiting me perfectly. Before this year, I had never been abroad. Now, I’ve been to England, Scotland and France. The STEP fellowship made my dream of studying abroad a much more financially feasible reality. Thus, despite my hectic schedule, the STEP Expo was well worth my time. It gave third-year students a chance to pass on some words of wisdom to the new second-year students and a chance for faculty to see the results of real experiences, which were, in fact, transformational. I know OSU still has an abundance of opportunities in store. As for STEP, I am happy to be passing on the torch to a new generation of Buckeyes.

Buckeye offense led by a ‘normal guy’ JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu Playing quarterback at Ohio State can come with a spotlight that’s too big for some people. But for redshirt-freshman J.T. Barrett, being in the limelight is not something he is paying attention to. “I don’t really have too much time to think about that. I just try to get better each week, make sure I have my guys ready as far as the offense ready to play,” Barrett said Wednesday. “Make sure everybody knows what is happening and doing what they are supposed to do.” The offense seems to be clicking with Barrett at the helm, as the Buckeyes currently rank 18th overall in rushing yards and 35th in passing yards. To compare, OSU ranked fifth in the nation in rushing last year, but Barrett has the Scarlet and Gray sitting 55 spots higher from a 90th-ranked passing offense a year ago. These numbers are coming with six starters on offense who are either freshmen or sophomores. Despite the youth on offense, Barrett said he is not shocked with the success he and the Buckeye offense are having. “It goes all into what we do as far as our coaches and our organization just developing young guys,” Barrett said. “Coming in, we would have Sunday practice where the young guys stay after and just developing each other.” OSU coach Urban Meyer said as one of the younger guys, Barrett has come a long

Redshirt-freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett (16) carries the ball during a game against Kent State on Sept. 13 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 66-0, as Barrett tied a school record with six touchdown passes. way from the wide-eyed rookie who took his first collegiate snaps Aug. 30. against Navy. “He is fine now, (but) first game he had the typical Alex Smith look. Alex was the same way,” Meyer said referring to the current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. Smith, who threw for just 136 yards in his first career start under Meyer at Utah, ended
up leading the Utes to a 9-1 record as a starter that season and earned second team all-Mountain West Conference honors. Barrett said his seemingly calm demeanor on the field is because of preparation during the week. “It is probably the things we go through in practice. Our preparation in things, in any
situation as a quarterback you have to be calm and under control and know what is going on,” he said. “Have that awareness about yourself.” The awareness is something that has paid off, Meyer said, as he added he knows Barrett is not the explosive quarterback the Buckeyes are used to having. “(Senior quarterback) Braxton (Miller) gave us the ‘wow’ factor and would take one at any time. You saw a couple times last year 60 yards, 70 yards,” Meyer said Monday. “I know J.T. That’s not really his game. He’s a ‘move the chain’ quarterback. That’s fine.” When Miller went down, Barrett said it didn’t really hit him at first that he was going to be taking the snaps for the Scarlet and Gray. “First off, it was one of those things like, ‘Man, one of our brothers went down,’” Barrett said. “Shortly after that, in practice it was like, well, me and (redshirt-sophomore quarterback) Cardale (Jones) are going at it.” Now that he has gone from third-string to starter, Barrett said things are not quite the same anymore. “Life has definitely changed. When first day of classes, teacher calls your name to see if you’re here and everyone turns their head and looks back like ‘J.T.’s in class?’” Barrett said. “(I’ll be) on campus walking to class and they will be like, ‘Hey J.T., what’s up?’ and I will be like, ‘What’s up man?’ So it is different. I try to talk to them and be like, ‘Man, I’m just a normal person just playing quarterback at Ohio State.’ I am not anybody special, don’t try to be a celebrity, I am a normal guy.” The normal guy and the Buckeyes are scheduled to take on Rutgers on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.
Rule violations rolling in, but not for OSU football TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu Through the first six months of 2014, the Ohio State football program self-reported six NCAA or Big Ten rules violations. In the following two months and 20 days, it reported none. In fact — through at least Sept. 20 — the football team hasn’t had a self-reported violation since April 22, or a span of nearly five months. Within that time span, junior defensive lineman Noah Spence reportedly failed a drug test — resulting in a violation of OSU and Big Ten rules — and was declared ineligible by the university for the Buckeyes’ Sept. 13 game against Kent State. Spence — who had not played this season because of a threegame suspension after a separate failed drug test — practiced once after the Kent State game, coach Urban Meyer said, but no further update on his status has been released. Since the most recent football violation, all of OSU athletics has self-reported 18 different violations, just one of which involved the men’s basketball program. In total, OSU has self-reported 30 NCAA or Big Ten rules violations this year up until Sept. 20. This information is the result of two separate public records requests submitted by The Lantern. The first was submitted July 8 and filled Aug. 11, while the second was requested Sept. 23 and filled Tuesday
evening. The requests span the dates of Jan. 1 through Sept. 20. Despite lower numbers in recent months, the football program still has the most selfreported rules violations so far in 2014 with six. In total, 18 different athletic programs at OSU had self-reported violations listed among the records, with the institution being listed on a pair of violations. Seven of the teams had multiple violations listed, but only football and women’s rowing had more than two. The rowing team was named on four of the violations, two of which came on the more recent records request that spanned from July 1 through Sept. 20. Women’s rowing is the only OSU program to have self-reported multiple violations since July. Responses to the violations from OSU included issuing letters of education to the coaching staff for teams involved with the incidents, a restriction to one program’s financial aid capacity for the 2014-15 academic year and the repayment of $28 worth of “impermissible per diem” for multiple student-athletes. Regardless of punishment, the 30 violations all count as minor NCAA or Big Ten violations. But those 30 infractions still put OSU on track to hit about 40 for the year. OSU athletic director Gene Smith — who is know also the school’s vice president — said the athletics department usually has about 40 self-reported rules violations every

year during an interview with The Lantern on May 15, 2012. “On an annual basis, we have about 40,” Smith said in the interview. “It ranges in that area we’re sitting at. In that 40 range is where we always hang.” Smith added that a lower number wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for OSU. “Our whole thing is if we have 10 (violations), I’d have a problem,” he said. “I mean, I really would because people are going to make mistakes. And that means if I only have 10 out of 350 employees, 1,000 athletes — something’s not right.”
While OSU does have one of the largest athletic departments in the nation, its number of violations comes in higher than some other programs. In the second half of 2013, the school self-reported around double the number of NCAA or Big Ten violations than five other schools in the conference. OSU has already self-reported more than double the violations that at least one other school with a major college football program reported during the 2013-14 year. According an Aug. 5 The Oregonian article, University of Oregon athletics self-reported just 14 violations in that academic year.
Sarris a ‘Buckeye at heart’ for men’s soccer team RYAN COOPER Lantern reporter cooper.487@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s soccer team has proven it can hang with just about anyone this season, and a large part of that is because of the work of senior midfielder Yianni Sarris. Sarris leads the Buckeyes with four goals this season, breaking his previous career high of two set during his freshman year. The latest two came in the same week, against then-No. 5 Louisville and then-No. 17 Michigan State, respectively. The former proved to be the game winner en route to an OSU upset win. “A few goals have been just being in the right spot at the right time,” Sarris said. “But my teammates get me the ball in crucial areas where I can make things happen, and from there I can just take chances. Without taking chances, nothing happens.” Though Sarris has been a fixture of coach John Bluem’s offense for what is now his third season with the Buckeyes, his collegiate
Thursday October 16, 2014
career did not begin in Columbus, but rather at Florida Gulf Coast University. “I was a little bit stubborn at first, so I wanted to get out of the state and kind of go a little bit far from my parents and kind of do my own thing,” Sarris said. However, Sarris, a native of Mentor, Ohio, decided after one year that the pull of coming home was too strong to resist. “I always wanted to be a Buckeye at heart,” Sarris said. “Eventually I realized that Ohio State is the best university out there, so I’m glad that I made that decision.” Sarris’ lone year at FGCU was not a forgettable one — the Eagles advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament after winning the Atlantic Sun Tournament. In the A-Sun Championship Game, Sarris saved a goal with a leaping header with just three seconds remaining that would have tied the game. The stay in the NCAA Tournament proved brief, however, as the Eagles fell in double overtime to Central Florida, 1-0, on a goal by current Columbus Crew midfielder Kevan George, ending their run. Sarris said he does not regret leaving the successful program, but rather wants to see OSU reach that level before his time is up. “I don’t just want to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament, but I definitely want to make a run in the NCAA Tournament,” Sarris said.

OSU lost, 3-1.
who has started all but three games alongside Sarris in the midfield this season, said Sarris is easy to play with. “I think he’s a great player to work alongside with,” Culbertson said. “I think his work ethic is the biggest plus that he brings, and he’s a great guy to have in the locker room as well.” Culbertson praised the actions of Sarris on the field this season, as well. “He just understands his role in the offensive mid-spot, knowing he has to be the one that needs to be pulling the strings and creating things in the final third, I think he’s done a good job of that,” Culbertson said. Bluem has also been pleased with the performance of his senior, he said. “I think he’s been playing very, very well,” Bluem said. “He’s a good attacking player. He knows where to go and when and he gets himself into good scoring positions.” Sarris said especially as a senior, he takes it upon himself to work hard every day and set an example. “I like to look at myself as a leader towards the young guys,” Sarris said. “I understand that how I play, the way I show up, is the way the team is going to show up as well.” However, Sarris did acknowledge that there are aspects of his game that he could be doing better, particularly in charging toward the defender when on offense. “I’m usually used to being in the midfield, not actually going at people, so I’d like to get going toward people a lot more,” Sarris said. The senior has made the most of the opportunities he has received this season, leading the team in goals and points despite ranking sixth in minutes, fifth in total shots and fourth in shots on goal. Sarris and the Buckeyes are set to return to the field Saturday to take on Wisconsin. That game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in Madison, Wis.

A QUEEN FOR A LION KING
Columbus’ stage production pride led by local actress DESIAIRE RICKMAN Lantern reporter rickman.16@osu.edu
Photos by Joan Marcus
Disney’s “The Lion King” is roaring into Columbus this week, and one Ohio native just can’t wait to be queen in her hometown. Tryphena Wade, a Columbus native, portrays the character Queen Sarabi in the touring stage production of the 1994 Disney animated film, which opened Tuesday at the Ohio Theatre. Wade has been performing in the musical’s North American tour since 2010, and this will be her first hometown professional performance, according to a press release. The actress went through several auditions before she landed the part. “I went to a few open calls in New York, and then I had the opportunity to audition in ‘The Lion King’s’ German production,” Wade said. She auditioned for an opening in the play’s ensemble and to be an understudy for the role of Nala. Even though she wasn’t cast, Wade was given another opportunity to audition for the North American production. But while she was auditioning for a role as one of the hyenas, Wade emerged as a queen. “What I love is that I’m part of the ensemble and I also have a lead role. I kind of get the best of both worlds,” she said. The musical shares a similar story as the film, with a few differences in the stage’s script. “There are a few songs that are different, some songs in the movie that are not in the stage show and vice versa,” Wade said. The film is brought to life with the audience having the opportunity to immerse themselves and interact with the characters, Wade said. “It’s literally happening all around you, so it’s definitely more of an interactive and in-your-face experience,” she said. Ever since she was young, Wade said she has had an interest in singing, dancing and acting. After graduating from high school, she left Ohio for Washington, D.C., where she majored in musical theater at Howard University.

Wade said her schooling at Howard went beyond the stage. “I had to take classes in singing and in acting, as well as dance,” she said. “At Howard University, there was a big emphasis placed on understanding the business side of the industry, because a lot of times, people get caught up in just wanting to be on stage and wanting to perform, and they don’t learn the business side of things.” Before “The Lion King,” Wade had roles in off-Broadway productions of “Black Nativity” and “The Trojan Women.” Like many new college students, Wade said that she had to learn how to survive in a new environment. “You definitely have to learn how to be independent and selfsufficient,” she said. “After Howard, I eventually moved to New York, so I definitely had to learn how to survive on my own in New York and figure out how things work.” After portraying Queen Sarabi for the past four years, Wade said she believes the character is different from other roles she has taken on for a variety of reasons, including her role in the ensemble as well as being on tour. “Being on tour is a very different experience than regional theater or off-Broadway in the sense that you’re constantly moving around and constantly changing cities,” she said. Wade has also discovered her motherly side while portraying Sarabi. “I’m not a mother, I don’t have any children like she does, but just her love and her passion for her family,” she said. “I imagine
“I’m not a mother, I don’t have children like (Sarabi), but just her love and passion for her family ... I imagine when I become a mother, I will have the same kind of love.” - Tryphena Wade actress who plays Sarabi in ‘The Lion King’ when I become a mother, I will have the same kind of love for my children and wanting them to do well and be the best that they can be.” After learning about an Ohio native being in the show, Navni Verma, a third-year graduate student studying mechanical engineering, wasn’t surprised by the fact. “I don’t find it surprising because I think the (Columbus) theater scene is good, like I’ve seen some of these local groups perform, and it’s not surprising,” she said. Carly Albanese, a second-year in early childhood education, said Wade’s presence in the show highlights the actors in Ohio. “It’s great that they can make it in New York and represent their home state and show Ohio what they’ve accomplished,” she said. To students interested in pursuing a career on Broadway or in acting, Wade said to take the time to become a well-rounded person, which will lead to becoming a well-rounded actor. “Immerse yourself in whatever it is that you love. Learn as much as you can about it, see as much theater as you possibly can and do as much theater as you possibly can,” she said. After all, Wade not only immerses herself in her role, but also embodies it. “I like to think of myself as a queen,” Wade said. Disney’s “The Lion King” is set to run through Nov. 9 at the Ohio Theatre. The show has a run time of 150 minutes. Tickets range from $28 to $135 plus fees and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.
OPINION
Added streaming option can keep HBO afloat ETHAN SCHECK Lantern reporter scheck.12@osu.edu HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler announced that the popular cable channel will offer a stand-alone streaming service, according to a Wednesday press release. That makes HBO the latest domino to fall in television’s transition to an on-demand all-the-time binge-watching service. HBO GO, which currently requires a cable subscription for streaming, has prompted many would-be viewers to plead for a streaming-only service to skip the cable middleman. In 2015, they’ll get their wish. This serves as the latest hit to cable companies, which are running out of ways to convince their customers not to switch to being broadband-only households. Cable packages tend to include superfluous channels on top of the ones customers target. This helps lead to the “hundreds of channels, nothing to watch” conundrum. More and more, it seems sports channels are the only compelling reason to get a
cable box, as it is still hard to come by reliable high-definition streams of sporting events. The success of Netflix, on the other hand, is massive, along with the growth of Hulu, Amazon Prime and newcomer FXNOW. The streaming industry has grown rapidly from being an instant video rental to legitimate television and movie production company. As things stand, Netflix is currently king of streaming, with more than 50 million subscribers and jumping from 14 to 31 Emmy nominations for their original programming from 2013 to 2014. They brought back “Arrested Development,” they produced the hit “House of Cards” and now, they even have a four-movie deal with Adam Sandler, according to their Twitter account on Oct. 1. And all for just $7.99 a month. With HBO’s entrance into the ring, Netflix now has direct competition with the channel that quite possibly creates the most consistently high-quality programming on television. A quick look at HBO’s resume shows us “The Sopranos,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “The Wire,” three of your TV snob

DENISE BLOUGH Lantern reporter blough.24@osu.edu An upcoming exhibition aims to expose the artistic results of the adventurous life of Paul-Henri Bourguignon, whose artworks hung in the galleries at the Columbus Museum of Art (then known as the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts) in an exhibition precisely 50 years ago. Bourguignon was born in 1906 in Belgium, and was working as a journalist and photographer in Haiti when he met Erika Eichhorn (now Erika Bourguignon), an anthropologist. “My husband started painting as a teenager ...

and began quite early to travel, first outside the city then outside the country,” Erika Bourguignon. “In the late 20s and 30s, he went to places where there were very few tourists, like Corsica, Bosnia, Spain and North Africa, etc. These were not tourist places and he was interested in not just landscapes, but lifestyles and languages. He liked being in strange and unfamiliar places.” Erika Bourguignon said her husband’s interest in travel continued on when war in Europe changed his home. “In 1940 the Germans invaded Belgium, and like all men of military age, he was supposed to go to France and join the French army and the Germans got there ahead of him,” she said. “Then he went back to Belgium, which was very difficult. After the war, he was interested in traveling and went to Haiti, which is where we met.” The pair later moved to Columbus in 1950 and got married, and Erika Bourguignon began a 40-year tenure at Ohio State, eventually becoming chair of the Department of Anthropology. Yet in the 40 years he lived in the city, Paul-Henri Bourguignon oddly enough never depicted Columbus in his work before he died in 1988. “The community of artists in Columbus at this time was probably not as vibrant and organized as it is today,” said Dominique Vasseur, CMA’s curator of European art. “I don’t believe artists had as many places to show their work. A lot of his work springs from his travels.” He was largely inspired by his journeys to places like Spain, Corsica, Bosnia and more generally depicted landscapes, faces and scenes with people in them, Erika Bourguignon said. The 45 works in the honorary CMA exhibit, “Paul-Henri Bourguignon: A 50th-Anniversary Retrospective,” were drawn from a handful of private collections, but the exhibit’s greatest contributor was Erika Bourguignon, who as of late has been discovering more and more of her late husband’s work, Vasseur said. Because of Paul-Henri Bourguignon’s newly found art and the 50 years that have elapsed since his last exhibit, the works in the upcoming show are much more representative of his evolution as an artist, both Vasseur and Erika Bourguignon said. “His works evolve from being much more interested in the representation of the human figure to almost completely abstract work, where it’s very hard to discern a particular subject,” Vasseur said. “He had a real sense of being able to, in a very few lines or brushstrokes, capture a sense of vitality.” Erika Bourguignon was in Haiti doing fieldwork for her doctoral dissertation when they met, she said. Paul-Henri Bourguignon created many Haitian scenes in bold, bright colors, which symbolizes his powerful memories of his time there. “We were very much impressed with how poor people were,” Erika said. “In 1947-49, I would say that 90 percent of Haitians were illiterate in any language, there was very little economic base to the society … and there were very few natural resources if anything.” Erika Bourguignon’s friend and former colleague Richard Yerkes, also an OSU professor in the Department of Anthropology, said Erika Bourguignon has always played a role in getting the word out about Paul-Henri, who didn’t seem to be a big self-promoter. “I really do regret I didn’t get to know him better,” Yerkes said. “Paul never went out of his way to say much about himself. There are a lot of artists who aren’t as famous as Picasso, but are just as important in the world of art.” The Bourguignons’ simultaneous work they was linked in more ways than what meets the eye. “Both of our work had to do with looking beyond your immediate presence to a larger world, and being concerned with how that world operates,” Erika Bourguignon said. “We were both interested in
friend’s favorite shows. By the way, have they told you how good “True Detective” is yet? “True Detective” is so good. It also has “Game of Thrones,” which is the most popular show on television by pirating standards, beating AMC’s “The Walking Dead” in illegal downloads as reported by The Telegraph in April . Now HBO is going to create easy access for fans to turn their torrent files into monthly subscriptions. That will be huge, especially if they have a competitive price. This news is perhaps the best for “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” The show’s YouTube channel has garnered more than 121 million hits for its various long-form satire news pieces, so it seems right at home on the Internet. Oliver has already brought the cults of “The Daily Show” and “Community” to his new weekly program, two shows with young, Internet-oriented audiences. But with the assured expansion of his viewership by HBO’s new streaming service, his following could become far more mainstream. “Last Week Tonight’s” main strength is focusing on a main story, such as drone strikes or student loan debt, where he reveals to the audience how the world is absolutely hypocritical and terrifying. He even accomplishes this without bringing harm to our psyches by delivering it with his charming British accent and self-effacing nature. These pieces, which tend to run more than 10 minutes, are the most popular clips on the show’s YouTube channel. This flies in the face of the Internet’s tendency to favor short clips, but illustrates that people are ready and willing to stare at their computer screens longer for this HBO content. The fact is that watching live television is becoming less and less of a thing altogether, at least for scripted programs. “Seinfeld” had premiere ratings that would make it tied for the No. 1 show today, but was No. 14 in 1989, according to The Wrap . It is now far easier to watch shows on your time and stick to programming you care about, especially if it means skipping the commercials. Even syndication is a friend to the streaming services. Netflix announced Wednesday on Twitter that starting Jan. 1, every episode of “Friends” will be added to its list of shows . Social media went wild. Sure, TBS shows “Friends” constantly already, but now you can skip right to the episodes you care about, or watch the whole series from start to finish. Binge-watching seems to be more popular than ever, and while HBO has not been incredibly quick on the trigger, its quality of programming still allows its announcement to be a major splash.

The lecture was started by Erika Bourguignon and the department, which Yerkes said still relies on her advice, to hold continuing conversation about the strong interconnection between the two disciplines, Erika said. The next lecture is set for April 2 with speaker Ann Bremner, art historian, previous publications editor for the Wexner Center for the Arts and the author of the CMA exhibit’s catalogue. Select artworks by Paul-Henri Bourguignon, which range in date from 1924-88, will be unveiled at the CMA on Oct. 17 and are set to be shown through Jan. 18. They represent a vast range of media, including gouache, oil paints, ink and pencil sketches and acrylics. Much of Paul-Henri Bourguignon’s work continues to be displayed in his wife’s home as she is continually inspired by his art, and there are a number of pieces she would never consider selling, she said. “Although he passed away in 1988, Paul’s presence is very much alive in this home,” Vasseur wrote in the curator’s statement about his visit to Erika Bourguignon’s home and many of the works now loaned to the museum. “On one wall a strong face might peer forth from darkness, on another landscapes open up views from Haiti, Peru or Europe … while on a table, a group of unmatted drawings looks as if it has just been reviewed.”

homecoming Mix of youth, experience set to drive Ohio State men’s basketball Originally Published Oct. 2, 2014 RYAN COOPER Lantern Reporter cooper.487@osu.edu With six new faces as well as five returning seniors in the fold, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is working to quickly blend the age groups before the season tips off. The team hosted its 2014 media day Thursday at the Schottenstein Center, and one of the main topics discussed by the players and coach Thad Matta was dealing with the divide in age and experience. “There are some pieces that are back, and those guys are consistent,” Matta said. “We have worked hard to integrate the new players so they mesh well and challenge the returning players to work and fight for a spot.” Matta said the character of the incoming players has helped integrate them into the program. “With six new guys coming in, the good thing is that we’ve added guys who are great kids, who have great morals and values and understanding of how we want to do things,” Matta said. “It helps the situation and helps guys get along a lot better.” The Buckeyes carry six seniors on their roster: guard Shannon Scott, centers Amir Williams and Trey McDonald forwards Sam Thompson, Jake Lorbach and Anthony Lee. Scott, who is set to take over as full-time point guard this season after sharing the position last season with Aaron Craft, who has since graduated and signed with the Golden State Warriors, said he does not believe the freshmen will require too much guidance. “It’s going to be fun for me, having a chance to lead these young guys,” Scott said. “But they’re not really babies, though, they’ve got a lot of game, and I really enjoy playing with them.” However, Williams acknowledged that mixing in several
new guys will not be something that happens overnight. “It’s definitely going to be a learning curve, because we have six new guys who are not familiar with how we play here at Ohio State,” Williams said. Lee, a transfer from Temple, also holds the distinction as one of the six new faces to the team. The others are guard D’Angelo Russell, forwards Jae’Sean Tate and Keita Bates-Diop, and centers David Bell and Trevor Thompson. Trevor Thompson, a sophomore transfer from Virginia Tech, is not eligible to play until the 2015-16 season because of NCAA transfer rules. “You look at our program, you lose these seniors, and next year we’ve got no seniors, and the next year we’ve only got one senior, in (sophomore forward) Marc (Loving),” Matta said. “So I think these (freshmen) do have a chance to kind of prove themselves, their worth, to our program.” Lantern file photo OSU went 25-10 Then-junior guard Shannon Scott (3) drives toward the basket during a semifinal game of the Big Ten Tournament against Michigan on March 15 last season, but failed at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

homecoming Given a chance, Michael Thomas starts to prove worth Originally Published Oct. 6, 2014 tim moody Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu Michael Thomas wasn’t ready. It’s not that he wasn’t big enough, fast enough, strong enough or good enough — the now-redshirt-sophomore wide receiver just hadn’t earned the trust of the coaching staff. After Thomas caught three passes for 22 yards in 11 games as a freshman and starred in consecutive Spring Games for the Buckeyes, coach Urban Meyer made the decision - Leads the team in receptions - Leads the team in receiving yards - Tied for team high in receiving touchdowns - Averaged 18.9 yards per game and a total of 17 receptions - Total of 322 yards averages to 64.4 per game to redshirt him for his sophomore season. Thomas sat out in 2013 before exploding back onto the scene for OSU as its top receiving threat five games into the 2014 season. “We always knew he had it, it was just a matter of could he be consistent enough to be trusted to put on the field on a regular basis,” OSU co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said after the team’s 52-24 win against Maryland on Saturday. “He continues to show that, so he’s getting rewarded.” That reward took the form of a starting spot for Thomas, as he moved ahead of senior wide receiver Devin Smith on the Buckeyes’ depth chart
before the matchup with the Terrapins. The Los Angeles-native responded with a team-high 75 receiving yards and tied for the team lead with four receptions, one of which went for a 25-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. “During the week we work on plays like that,” Thomas said of the touchdown catch. “We go over these plays, and coach always says go up at the highest point and get the ball and pull it to the back of your neck, so I just did it.” It wasn’t the first big play Thomas has made this season, as he leads the team in receptions and receiving yards, while he is tied for the teamhigh in receiving touchdowns. His 17 receptions have averaged 18.9 yards and his 322 total yards comes out to 64.4 per game. Thomas’ five touchdowns — which put him in a tie with Smith — have gone for an average of 32.8 yards. While his numbers have been consistently strong throughout the season, Herman said Thomas has improved from game to game since earning a bigger role in the Buckeyes’ game plan. “He’s a guy that continues to earn trust in us, and that’s obviously really big in this program,” Herman said. “He continues to do that, and so I don’t know if (he’s) coming into his own, I don’t know what all that means … the kid is continually earning our trust and a product of that, is seeing more and more playing time.” As he earns even more time on the field, Thomas has had a chance to show off his skillset in front of the Buckeye faithful. Against Maryland, he had a chance to do it in front of his family as well. Thomas’ uncle — former NFL

He said his priority was to reach the team’s goal of a victory, but he still wanted to put on a performance of his own.
“My main goal is just get out of here on the road with a win, and then if the play came to me, I’d make it and just catch the ball and get what I can get,” Thomas said. While making plays in games — no matter who is watching — is something Thomas hasn’t had a chance to do much before this season, that doesn’t mean his teammates are surprised by his performances. Sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott said Thomas was showing off his natural talent last season, even
though he wasn’t able to do it on the field for the Buckeyes. “It’s just crazy. Mike, he makes some freaky catches in practice,” Elliott said after the Maryland game. “We saw it all last year, even though he redshirted, but I’m happy to see him doing that in the games this year.” Thomas and the rest of the Buckeyes are scheduled for a bye week before taking the field again. OSU is set to play Rutgers on Oct. 18 at Ohio Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

homecoming Big Ten poses student-athlete benefit recommendations to NCAA Originally Published Oct. 1, 2014 JAMES GREGA Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu The Big Ten conference has submitted a set of recommendations to the NCAA — including redefining the cost of education and providing improved medical insurance — that it says would improve the college experience for studentathletes who are in “good-standing” with their respective universities. The release is in response to the NCAA’s new autonomy structure that was announced in August which allows the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific 12 and Southeastern conferences to make their own rules concerning scholarships, full cost of attendance and health care for student-athletes. The release by the Big Ten listed four main suggestions its made to the NCAA including •
Cost of education: Make sure full grantin-aid meets a student-athlete’s cost of education, as determined by the federal government.
•
Multi-years Scholarships: Guarantee all scholarships so even if a student-athlete is no longer able to compete, there won’t be an impact on a university’s commitment to provide an undergraduate education — no matter what the reason is that student can’t compete. • Lifetime educational commitment: Ensure that scholarships don’t have an expiration date, so if a student-athlete leaves a university for a professional career before graduating — whether the career materializes, and regardless of its length — the scholarship will be honored after his or her playing days are complete. • Medical insurance: Provide improved and consistent insurance for student-athletes. The release added that Big Ten athletic programs provide almost $200 million in direct financial aid to student-athletes on 350 teams in 42 separate sports.

Josh Whitson, the OSU student immigration coordinator, plays the Great Highland bagpipe on the Oval on Aug. 29.
The Oval isn’t quite the Highlands, but that’s not stopping Josh Whitson from playing his bagpipe. Whitson, the Ohio State student immigration coordinator, has been playing his Great Highland bagpipe this week around campus, particularly on the Oval and South Oval. He’s preparing for a competition — the Ligonier Highland Games on Sept. 20 in Ligonier, Pa., where he said he’ll be playing in three solo events and competing with a band. But don’t count on his being on the Oval daily — Whitson said he doesn’t practice in one spot. “I try to move around so I don’t annoy the same people everyday,” he said Friday. “I live in an apartment, so I share walls with people, so I’m basically not trying to attract people. I’m just trying to find a spot where I hopefully won’t get yelled at.” Some around OSU have taken to Twitter to share their opinions about the music, and while some were enthusiastic about the performance, others voiced disdain. Jake Snook, a third-year in strategic communication and human psychology, tweeted Friday
from his account @jake_snook31, “Kid with bagpipes on the oval (sic) needs a new hobby.” He said later on Friday he was joking around. Before Snook tweeted, he was walking across the Oval with headphones on and said he could hear the bagpipes over his music, initially thinking, “I don’t remember this song having bagpipes on it.” “It was more of a comical thing,” Snook said. “That his bagpipe was so loud that it just came through my headphones was just humorous.” And when The Lantern told Snook what Whitson was practicing for, he said he’s from Pennsylvania and knows about the competition Whitson will be partaking in. “That’s awesome,” Snook said. “I know the tradition.” SEE VIDEO OF THE BAGPIPER IN ACTION

homecoming Mackenzie Bart: Competing for Miss America was a moment that I’m never going to forget Originally Published Sept. 15, 2014 LAUREN EVERY Lantern Reporter every.5@osu.edu
“Walking away from
Miss America, I’ve had so many opportunities scholarship-wise and now just to benefit me for my future.” - Mackenzie Bart Though the crown might not lay on her head, Miss Ohio left the 2015 Miss America Competition with more opportunities to expand her mind. Ohio State student Mackenzie Bart competed Sunday night in a nationally televised competition and received a $10,000 scholarship from Miss Ohio and $14,000 in scholarships from Miss America from the experience. “It’s a moment that I’m never going to forget,” Bart told The Lantern on Monday. Bart, a 22-year-old first-generation college student, began competing in pageants in order to pay for her education. She was crowned Miss Ohio on June 21 and received $10,000 in scholarships from the Miss Ohio pageant. On Sunday night, Bart and 52 other women headed to Atlantic City, N.J., to compete for the Miss America crown. Throughout the week, the 53 contestants were split into three smaller groups for preliminary competitions, said Jay Jesensky, executive director of the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program. “Each group has a talent and swimsuit winner. Mackenzie won the talent in her group of over 17 contestants,” Jesensky said in an email. Bart’s talent was a ventriloquism act with her puppet Roxy. The two performed
a duet to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” She said she became interested in ventriloquism at a young age after watching a show called “Lamb Chop’s Play-Along,” which featured actress Shari Lewis and her lamb puppet. “I loved that show. I used to watch it for hours, even to the point where I’d take a dirty sock off my foot and draw eyes on it and use it as a puppet,” Bart said in an interview with The Lantern last month. Her success in the preliminary competition put her into the final 10 on the Miss America stage where she was able to perform with Roxy on live television. Bart also had the opportunity to meet Vonda Van Dyke, the only Miss America to win with ventriloquism as her talent. Van Dyke was crowned Miss America in 1965. “It was so cool to meet with her because you got to see how ventriloquism has changed throughout the years,” Bart said. Bart’s talent has been recognized, not only by the Miss America judges, but also by various media outlets. She was featured in an article with People Magazine earlier this week and was also asked to be a guest on the “Today” show airing Tuesday at 9 a.m. “We’re pairing up with Al Roker to do the weather,” Bart, an atmospheric science major, said of her and her puppet Roxy. The opportunity fufills one of Bart’s career goals — while performing her talent during Sunday night’s competition, Bart’s fun fact read “Wants to take Al Roker’s job.” Bart was also recognized for her involvement in the STEM, or science, technology, engineering and math, program. She was one of five contestants to receive a $5,000 STEM scholarship, which was announced live during the competition. “It honestly is amazing just because I’ve been so actively involved in STEM,” she said. Additionally, Bart won a $2,000 scholarship from Miss America for winning the preliminary talent award and $7,000 for being a top 10 finalist. Although Bart was cut from the competition after making it into the top 10, she said she is happy with the results. “I actually stayed in the same hotel as Miss New York, who won Miss America, and she’s such a sweet girl. We were able to become good friends throughout the whole process, and I think she’s an amazing representative, down-to-earth, and really the girl-next-door,” Bart said. She said the experience of competing in

She plans to use the scholarship money she was awarded to finish her senior year and then eventually to begin her master’s degree in atmospheric science. “Walking away from Miss America, I’ve had so many opportunities scholarship-wise and now just to benefit me for my future,” Bart said. Bart’s friend, Gabby Bailey, a third-year in
dance at OSU, said she is proud of Bart no matter what crown she wears. “She will forever be my Miss America,” Bailey said in an email. Though Bart was not crowned Miss America, she will continue to fulfill her duties and public appearances as Miss Ohio 2015 until June 21. Elizabeth Tzagournis contributed to this story.
