Rounding up the top OSU folks to watch on Twitter By CAMERON RODA
I
t’s that time of year again; the most anticipated moment of the fall semester has arrived. Everyone has been waiting for this moment right here. You. Your momma. Your momma’s momma. President Obama (he’s got like a year left so he’s probably chillin’ and reading this as I type it) IT’S TIME FOR UWEEKLY’S TOP 10 BUCKEYES TO FOLLOW. Let’s dive right in y’all.
Matthew Stoltzfus @Dr_Fus Dr. Matthew W. Stoltzfus sounds like the name of a guy who has a mustache. He doesn’t though, he just a chill Chemistry lecturer slash Distinguished Apple Educator that sees student-professor interaction as a fundamental principle of a student’s learning process. And he posts dope stuff too, like those eight fluff ball golden retriever pups that got to take their first swim or tips for students new to campus. He has his own website for crying out loud, www.drfus.com. That’s OG right there Dr. Fus, this guy just gets it.
Justine Boggs @JustineRBoggs As a Project Coordinator for Pelotonia Team Buckeye, Justine Boggs rode 180 miles this year for Pelotonia 15, raising over $2,200 on her own in donations, all while riding for her third year in a row. Team Buckeye has generated 8
insane amounts of money over the years to donate to cancer research, bringing in over $82 million in six years and over $14 million this past summer.
Abby Grossman @Abby_Leigh94 This is Abby #1, your newly elected USG president. Abby has been involved with USG since she arrived at Ohio State, serving as a senator last school year. She shares a first name with Abby #2 (she’s next), and the two of them defeated Michelle & Noel last Spring to become President and Vice President. Abby’s priorities are not in politics after graduation, which means she’s probably more concerned about looking out for students than herself. “I want to be a math teacher and Waidelich wants to be an engineer. We are in this because we want to make change for the better,” Grossman told The Lantern during the USG elections.
Abby Waidelich @ AbbyWaidelich Now it’s time for Abby #2. Abby Waidelich is also a third-year student (like Abby #1) who decided studying Biomechanical Engineering wasn’t enough for her, so she decided she wanted to be your USG Vice President in her downtime. Talk about ballin’. Abby #2 genuinely wants to help out OSU students and could care less

about the political clout her position might mean for her future, “We are math and engineering majors, we aren’t here to make political gains after graduation. We are here to make changes while we are here for all OSU students,” Waidelich said while speaking to The Lantern before the USG election last spring.
Cardale Jones @CJ12_ What else is there to say, I mean it’s Dale alright? The only reason people talked about him before last season was because of Twitter, the dude is a proper legend and he still has 2 years of eligibility left. If you don’t follow him by now, what’s your deal? Dale never disappoints, like that one time he embarrassed the guy who suggested the QB should only keep his eyes on the field and opinions in his head. It’s literally a win-win for you so just do yourself the favor and follow him before you miss out.
Zone 6 @Zone6_OSU This account is dedicated to everything Zone 6, and Zone 6 is about one thing: getting buckets. I’m talking tuddies boys and girls, all that matters is the end zone.

recess: an escape from midterms By GEORGINA PINOU
N
ot many people understand how much stress a college student is faced with on a daily basis. With classes, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, career searching and social lives, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and not know how to overcome your stress. With the increasingly relevant topic of mental health awareness and stress management on college campuses around America, Ohio State brings back Recess, an event that allows you to detach yourself from any stress in your life and simply play. Recess will be held on Thursday, Oct. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the South Oval and is presented by Counseling and Consultation Service, in the Office of Student Life. CCS will receive help from other key Ohio State Student Life offices such as Rec Sports and Student Wellness Center in addition to campus organizations such as USG, Boo Radley Society, Buckeye Wellness, Suicide Prevention and Panhellenic Association.
An event like this allows college students to cope with stress and to realize that even though you are in college there are times when you should simply play and relax. The title of the event allows student’s mind to go back to a simpler time of Elementary school when they would be allowed to take a break from the “long and stressful” day of algebra and reading, to go outside and play with their friends. The short period of time each day is still crucial even as we all grow up. The simple action of just taking a little time out of your schedule to revisit the childhood concept of a recess can be very beneficial to your mental health. A very important part of this event is being able to take something away from it and be able to use it in your everyday life to deal with stress. “Taking a breath can be helpful,” said Holly Davis, chair of Recess and psychologist in CCS. Recess isn’t just a single event where you can go and play in an inflatable obstacle course, do arts
uweekly.com
and crafts or play with therapy dogs (all which will be at Recess, by the way). Recess is a symbol . These exaggerated play activities are reminders that all you need to do is take 5 minutes a day to reflect. You can draw, go outside and take in some sun, or simply just walk across campus not thinking about a single thing you have to do or test you have to study for. Harry Warner, another chair of Recess, just wants students to know, “It’s okay to take a break. It’s important to relax, when otherwise you are thinking about school and careers.” Imagination, creativity and relaxation are things that all people need in their lives, and Recess brings these concepts to mind. On Oct. 8, take a stroll down to the South Oval to indulge in a little relaxation and Recess. “Taking a break not only feels good and helps with stress but it also makes them more productive,” Holly Davis said.

Homecoming 101 Understanding the tradition By Tamika smith

ith Fall comes not only pumpkins and Halloween but also football. And with college football comes the great event of homecoming. Now, if you've experienced homecoming in college, you probably know it's unlike any homecoming you experienced in high school. So if you're stressing over what dress you're going to wear, you've totally got the wrong idea. Homecoming is a tradition at many campus universities. The important thing about Ohio State's homecoming is the emphasis on tradition. Homecoming is a time when students, faculty, alumni and pretty much anyone who's a fan of the football team come together to celebrate. There are many elements that go into the whole experience of celebrating homecoming.
It's all about football
In high school when you think about homecoming, you pretty much think about a big dance with bright lights, fluffy dresses and rented tuxes. While you may attend your school's football game, it's not the primary focus of the event. In college, especially at O State, the homecoming tradition puts great emphasis on celebrating the school and it's football team. You ultimately want your team to lead the school to victory. Because of this, homecoming week is filled with scarlet and gray face paint, jerseys and buckeye necklaces.
It's not simply a popularity contest
Like in high school, homecoming court is an important element of homecoming. But homecoming king and queen aren't just the most popular jock and the head cheerleader. There's a very serious
10
UWEEKLY • September 30, 2015
uweekly.com
process that goes into crowning the homecoming king and queen. It first begins with an application in which things like leadership abilities, academics, and integrity are evaluated. After the application process is complete, if one meets the GPA standard they then go on to interview with a faculty member. After a student body vote, the male and female who ranked the highest in application, interview and student votes are crowned king and queen. While voting for homecoming isn't so important to college students, being crowned homecoming king and queen is still rather prestigious and based on merit. The parade and pep rally are essential Perhaps the biggest tradition with homecoming is the parade and pep rally. The parade and pep rally are probably also the most coveted and loved of all of the events throughout homecoming (and possibly tailgating). Many student organizations, different colleges and departments prepare floats and performances for the parade. The great thing about the pep rally and parade is that it is not limited to the school. People from all different locations, children and families attend the parade and celebrate the school and the state.
It's good to be an alumnus
While you should never be caught dead at a high school homecoming once you've graduated, college is different. Homecoming is not just a time to celebrate the present of the university but also the past. Alumni are greatly included and celebrated during homecoming week. It's a time where many past students and staff are able to reconnect. It's clear that no matter the generation, homecoming at Ohio State can be enjoyed by all.
•8 almost unfathomable addition of Braxton
Miller to the zone, you best believe they’ll be running through the six again every Saturday.
John Kasich @JohnKasich This one is pretty straightforward; John Kasich is our state’s governor as well as an OSU alum. I think the least we could all do is follow him as he attempts to snag the Republican nomination from under Donald Trump’s gullet. Besides, he’s actually remarkably moderate on a decent number of issues and he’s already separating himself from the pack, placing in 2nd in the most recent Public Policy Polling results with 11% (Trump has 35%). The Governor’s straight-shooter demeanor appeals to voters who value a politician who talks to them without the accustomed political schmooze, and that alone means he has a chance to capitalize if (when) Trump slips up.
Student Advocacy OSU @AdvocacyOSU Staying in the loop at a school the size of Ohio State is vital, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. @ AdvocacyOSU keeps you updated with deadlines for everything from refunds to the last day you can drop a class, plus literally everything else you might want to know but don’t. Best part is they have an office on campus too (1120 Lincoln Tower) that you can check out along with a website that shows all the services they offer.
Buckeye Brigade @Buckeye_Brigade Fresh off of a Women’s World Cup triumph, America is high on soccer. As more and more top European players cross the pond to play in the MLS, the sport’s stock continues to rise in popularity, have you caught the fever? Good news, the Buckeye Brigade is a great way to get your footy fix and discuss the beautiful game over beers with like-minded (or not) individuals. Whether it’s watching games at Midway or 4th Street, or screaming from the Nordecke on ‘Dollar Beer, Dollar Brat’ night at Crew Stadium, the Buckeye Brigade is an organization everyone should be getting down with.
Halie Vilagi @HalieVilagi The Board of Trustees decides upon pretty much every major decision that affects the Ohio State University, and Halie Vilagi is the only undergraduate student hanging on the BoT among the big boys and girls, there to give us all a voice. She was appointed by Governor Kasich at the end of June, which makes her kind of a big deal. Halie is majoring in Public Affairs and minoring in Poly Sci, which just seems incredibly reassuring considering she speaks for 50,000+ students. Keeping up with her is pretty much your duty as a student, why are you still reading this? GO FOLLOW HER.

Business up top, yoga pants on the bottom
How digital interviews are changing the game
I
t’s both a blessing and a curse that corporations are moving toward digital prescreen interviews. Finally, you can be all business on the top and pajama pants on the bottom. You’re answering situational and behavioral questions in a space in which you feel comfortable, and you think you’ve totally got this. For many prescreen interviews, the company doesn’t bother with placing a hiring manager or an otherwise high-ranking employee at the other end of the webcam because the sole purpose of a digital prescreen interview is to eliminate candidates. This ultimately saves the company an immeasurable amount of time in the long run. I get it, a company only has so many positions available and a limited amount of time to find a suitable applicant. But for those of us looking for employment, we think, “How bad can it be?” For all of the perks listed above, it’s great. A
recent experience of mine was my excitement over a digital interview to a major corporation. I had never had a prescreen interview before, but I’m a pro interviewee, so my confidence wasn’t even remotely wavered. I had 24-48 hours post e-mail notification to complete the interview, so I researched the position, had a printout of my resume and rehearsed standard interview questions. I practiced on the HireVue app and realized how nervous I was. Like, I’m basically sitting at my kitchen table in a blazer and recording myself. It felt uncomfortable, odd and detached. I took a deep breath and started the interview. The first question asked for an introduction and descriptions of my past work experience relevant to the position I was applying for. I had 30 seconds to prepare and a maximum time of 3 minutes to answer. I literally started my very first sentence with my
work experience. I forgot to even introduce myself. Doing like I did in the practice section, I said, “Oh shoot!” and stopped the recording. Problem? You can’t do that in the real interview. You don’t get to review or change your answer. So basically, it was downhill from there. I had totally choked. It wasn’t even that long ago, but I can’t think about it without cringing. I knew that I was so much better than what I put out there. So, moral of the story — digital prescreen interviews are meant to suck. Do your best to answer the questions as if a hiring manager is in front of you, and if you royally mess up, don’t let that stop you from applying to different positions within the company you want to work for. Each subsequent prescreen interview will be better, I swear.

interviews:
The milliondollar question
T
he best interviews are the ones where you can connect with the interviewer on another level, rather than just seeing them as the person who will decide your fate with the company. Often, there is a lot riding, for you, on the success of the interview. You’ve likely (or you should have) read up on the company and Googled some recent press releases. You’ve probably also done some Pinterest homework, where you searched for keywords, like, “job interview questions,” because someone told you that if you don’t ask anything, you just slaughtered whatever advantage you had up until that point. While that’s true, you should absolutely ask at least three questions that pertain to the position itself and/or the company, regurgitating questions verbatim shows a lack of attention during the interview. Remember, you are interviewing them too. Keep eye contact throughout, and really listen to what they’re saying about the position. Take a quick mental note of something that sparks a good question, and refer back to that when you ask. You can weave solid, general interview questions off of information that you’ve received in the interview if you really don’t have any of your own. The key is to always, always, always (did I say “always”?) tie it into something that the interviewer has said. Intertwine these questions into the closing of the interview, when it’s your turn to get all the deets. You’ll impress them and you’ll also get a deeper understanding of the position and what that means for you. Asking questions can kind of be awkward, especially if you haven’t connected on that aforementioned separate level. But when you do pull information that the interviewer said, it makes for a seamless, less uncomfortable transition into SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

love vs. marriage By KATIE EAST

I
t seems like love is getting a black eye lately. Popular celebrity couples are splitting up left and right: Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, John Hamm and whatever his girlfriend's name is. When these seemingly happy couples are calling it quits, it makes you question who can make a marriage work in this day and age. As someone who just tied the knot, I probably shouldn't be wondering aloud about the practicality of marriage. These celebrity couples dropping like flies does really make me think though. I'm not one who usually cares about what celebrities do in their personal lives. In fact, I think it's kind of creepy. Look, they bought toilet paper: “Just like us!” It's weird. But I am intrigued when a celebrity files for divorce. I'm always hoping there's some great couple that is the exception to the rule and will avoid the curse of fame. I'm just starting to get over the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner split that happened a couple months ago; that one hit me pretty hard. They just seemed like such a loving couple, great partners and parents. I always thought, “They'll be the ones that make it.” Then again, you never really know what goes on behind closed doors. You don't know what

people are struggling with in their private lives. Recently, I've been getting a lot of unsolicited advice on the institution of marriage. Some of it helpful, most of it obvious and a surprising amount of it sad and bitter. You would think the divorcees would hold their tongues until after I said my “I do's” but you would be incorrect. Unfortunately, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. With my own recent nuptials I'm still jazzed about the idea of marriage. I had pretty much come to terms with the fact that marriage might not be a necessary part of my future when I suddenly met my fiancé. I always assumed I would be married, but at some point I quit looking for it. I finally became OK with being alone. I didn't really give up, I just was happy with myself and realized marriage wasn't a priority for me. Well, you know what they say: The second you stop looking for it, you find it. And I must say that was true with me. When I was single it was beyond infuriating when people would remind me of that but I guess sometimes the cliché sayings are true. You can't hurry love, and the people that do seem to be the ones who are the most bitter when it ends. I know people who got married because it

made sense. The other person checked off enough of their boxes and they said, “That'll do.” These people are confused when it doesn't end well. In their minds, they did everything right. They picked a good enough partner and did the work. What went wrong? Though I'm only a few weeks into marriage, I know one important thing to keep one going: compromise is crucial. But, there's a difference between compromising within your marriage and settling from the start. Luckily, I can whole heartedly say I didn't settle. I can definitely understand how annoying my honeymoon phase can be for onlookers, but I can't apologize for it. Honestly, I never really knew if this day was coming and I think I deserve to be excited for it. Call me naive or old fashioned, but I really meant “Till death do us part.” I'm doing this thing cause I really want to, not because I think I have to. I'm sure after a couple years of marriage I'll be back to my old bitter and cynical self, but I appreciate the positive change of pace love has brought to me recently. Eventually, I'm sure our lives will be a little more mundane and the love endorphins will have worn off. Might as well enjoy them now. As depressing as it is to see all these celebrity couples splitting, there are still plenty of good examples of marriage all around you. Everyone knows that couple that just seems like they're meant for each other; the air seems different when they're around together. Though my husband and I don't have a catchy couple name like “Bennifer,” I hope we can inspire someone to think, “They'll be the ones that make it.”

knowing thy hoosiers Looking ahead to OSU vs. Indiana
N
o.1 Ohio State dispatched the Western Michigan Broncos, 38-12, on Saturday afternoon, concluding a non-conference slate of games that has shown the strengths (and weaknesses) of the defending national champions. This weekend, the Buckeyes travel to Bloomington, Ind. to face the Indiana Hoosiers (4-0) in the first Big Ten Conference game of the season for either squad. Let’s take a look at what the Buckeyes will be up against.
What the Hoosiers Offense Has Indiana’s quarterback is senior Nate Sudfeld. This season, Sudfeld has amassed over 1,100 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Even though the Hoosiers have only played one Power 5 conference opponent (Wake Forest), Sudfeld has completed over 50 percent of his passes in each game. The Hoosier offensive line has been a bright spot for Sudfeld – he has taken only two sacks this season. However, Indiana hasn’t played against a defense this 16

season that has rivaled the “Silver Bullets." Catching the Sudfeld passes will be a combination between Rick Jones, Simmie Cobbs and Mitchell Paige. Against the Hoosiers’ last opponent, Wake Forest, Cobbs brought in seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown. Jones leads the receiving core with 411 yards and three touchdowns. Expect Sudfeld to target Cobbs and Jones on Saturday. If the passing game fails, the Hoosiers can go to Jordan Howard on the ground. So far this season, Howard has rushed for 675 yards and four touchdowns.
How the Buckeye Defense Can Shut Down the Hoosier Offense If the defensive line can harass Sudfeld off the snap, then Indiana will have a tough time moving the ball downfield via air. Between Joey Bosa, Adolphus Washington and Sam Hubbard, the Hoosiers’ offensive line will have their hands full blocking. Ohio State has been excellent at run stopping

this season. Virtually nobody is getting open space to run, and that will be a problem for Howard. Raekwon McMillan and Joshua Perry will be the ones greeting Howard the second he gains past the line of scrimmage. However, if he can’t get to the edge fast enough, and the passing game can’t get established, then it will be a long afternoon for the Hoosier faithful.
A Fun Fact There was a large social media push for ESPN’s College Gameday to be on location for the Buckeyes-Hoosiers game. However, College Gameday will be at the Clemson-Notre Dame game this week. Even though things didn’t pan out with College Gameday, expect Memorial Stadium to be filled. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, and will be broadcasted on ABC in most parts of the country.

not so fast Crew SC looks to clinch playoff berth in next game By @BEN_FERREE a
C
olumbus Crew SC fell this weekend to Portland, 2-1. A win or a tie would’ve clinched the playoffs for the team, but that celebration has to wait at least another week. Still, the playoffs are inevitable for Columbus, as the new MLS format means the top six teams in each conference will make the postseason. Crew SC currently have the third seed, but will be pushing hard for a top two finish. If they are able to attain one of the top two spots, they will get a first round bye in the playoffs, while the lower four seeds play a single game elimination round. The winners of those games will then play a home-and-home series with the top two teams. “It was a good opportunity, especially given the results around the League, but we’re still in a good spot and we’ve got a few games left to solidify a position going into the playoffs on a high,” Crew SC Captain Michael Parkhurst said after the defeat. “It’s a loss, it hurts, especially a home one in front of a big crowd, but we [have] a big one on Saturday, so we’ll bounce back.” Crew SC has already begun selling postseason tickets, despite the unknowns of when the game(s) would be. If Columbus hosts a knockout game, it will be on either Oct. 28 or Oct. 29. Should they advance, or get a bye, the home game would be on either Nov. 1 or Nov. 8. The Crew SC are looking to make the playoffs for a second straight season under head coach Gregg Berhalter after missing the mark for two consecutive seasons. After getting blasted out of the postseason last year by eventual Eastern Conference champions New England Revolution, Crew SC knows that simply making the playoffs is not enough, and will use this loss to prepare for the physicality they will encounter. “It’s teams fighting for playoff spots, so every SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

Buckeyes momentum in the waning moments of the first half. “Being a striker, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time and was I fortunate enough to be there and finish with the goal,” said Amankwa. Ohio State would find their next goal in the 67th minute, when Christian Soldat sent a header to the back of the net – scoring his first goal of the year.

The first was a five-set loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers to open Big Ten play, and the other was another five-set contest, but featured the Buckeyes taming the Wisconsin Badgers. Taylor Hughes, who tallied 11 assists and 12 kills, helped seal the deal for the No.12 Buckeyes in the
dispatching of the Badgers. Taylor Sandbothe and Elizabeth Campbell also attributed to the victory. Sandbothe was responsible for 20 kills, while Campbell earned three aces on top of a 14 kill performance with 2,500 fans looking on. The Buckeyes are 12-2 for the year, and will look to improve their record against Iowa and Nebraska on Oct. 2 and Oct. 3, respectively.

"don't stop believing" Is there still hope for Believeland? By BRAD PIERRON @ JBradleyPierron a
W
ith only a handful of games left in the 2015 regular season, the Cleveland Indians are still a contender for the second American League wildcard spot. During what has been an adventurous end to the year, the New York Yankees have all but locked up a wildcard spot, and there are four likely possibilities for the second such spot. Last amongst this group of four is the Cleveland Indians, trailing the Houston Astros, the Los Angeles Angels and the Minnesota Twins, respectively. Quite frankly, the Indians have single-handedly made this race interesting to watch. With a record hovering around .500, Cleveland has not made a substantial push for the postseason in the waning weeks of the season, but they have found an uncanny ability to hang around. Jason Kipnis has been batting around .317 for the past dozen games, and pitcher Josh Tomlin has been playing well, going 3-1 in September.
With this combination of offensive and defensive prowess, the Indians have been able to keep hopes alive in Cleveland. When adding these recent successes with the continued success of Francisco Lindor and Michael Brantley offensively as well as the above average pitching of Carlos Carrasco, the team is set to make some noise. The Indians did exactly that during the second half of the season, particularly in August and September. However, the Angels have made noise, too. A late-season, five game winning streak paced the halos even further away from the Indians in the wildcard race. Cleveland’s wildcard dreams are getting bleaker by the day, and it will take some doing to string together enough wins to make a valiant final attempt. Nonetheless, they have a chance, and this is enough to keep the Cleveland faithful alive and well. So, it is not a question of whether or not there

is hope, but it is much more a question of whether or not there is warranted faith. The Indians will need to win their series against the Twins and Boston Red Sox to keep the postseason dreams on ice. Especially with the Twins in front of Cleveland in the wildcard standings, the Tribe must find a way to grab at least two of the four games in the series. Put on the rally caps, and let the excitement begin!

COLUMBUS' BEST WORST KEPT SECRET By james garcia
I
t’s not much of a secret that Columbus’ underground music scene is thriving, and one of the best places to see it in action is the Worst Kept Secret Fest. Now in its third year, the free festival brings together local musical acts for two days and features local food trucks and beer, of course, for a heavy dose of hometown vibes. “It’s just a rock and roll show. Whatever genre. We try to get as many new bands that haven’t played the fest before booked as possible,” said Pat Chase, one of the festival’s organizers and member of the band Gelatinus Cube. “We felt that the Columbus music scene was a bit cliquey, so we wanted to shatter that.” The festival takes place Oct. 2-3 at its newer, more spacious home (it was previously held at the Dude Locker) at Skate Naked skatepark, located at 3790 E. Fifth Ave. The idea behind Worst Kept Secret, at least the concept that drew Chase into it, was the idea of breaking through the all-too-common practices of venues requiring bands to sell a certain amount of tickets or collecting high door charges from the people who just want to watch some quality local music. And it was also a way to give newer Columbus bands a chance to shine. “It’s not a competitive thing, it’s a community thing. It’s not about who brings more people. It’s 20
more about who wants to play. Who’s never applied before?” Chase said. “We don’t just pick out the cool names, even though I feel like a lot of people do that, pick out whatever band has been in the newspaper before.” Chase said profits from the show don’t go into the pockets of the organizers, but are instead funneled back into the festival to keep moving the endeavor forward. “It’s an outlet for young people, such as myself, to get involved in something and to work with other likeminded, creative people to build an entertaining show. I like to work with a lot of new people and encourage people to practice their craft. I want to create an atmosphere for people to feel included,” said Geoff Spall, co-founder of the festival and member of the band Friendly Faux. But it’s not just about the musicians. The festival is an opportunity for music lovers to find some talent in their own backyards. “One band playing at a time, with two stages. When one band is finishing up, the next one is setting up and is ready to go almost immediately after, letting the audience experience at least a few minutes of a band they may have never heard of,” Chase said. Chase said he wants to create a comfortable place for an audience to feel at home, away from the
UWEEKLY • September 30, 2015

dangers that might be present at a bar — dangers like cashing out only to find you’ve dropped $50 on drinks. The festival offers cheap beer to keep the party going. “Expensive shows, expensive drinks keep the music community down. There isn’t a place for people who don’t have very much money. … I want to create a safe environment for people to call home. That’s what we’re all about,” he said. Both Chase and Spall will be performing at the festival. Their bands started by playing and hosting house shows around Columbus, and they are both striving to keep that intimate, local feeling alive but on a grander scale. Friendly Faux has “been my creative outlet for two or three years now. We started in a basement, like a lot of other bands do,” Spall said. The festival typically partners with a nonprofit to help raise money for a cause. Its current beneficiary is The Dick & Jane Project, which works with middle school students to write radio-friendly songs that professional musicians then bring to life, hopefully giving the students a massive confidence boost and a taste of musical creation. “Worst Kept Secret Fest means a ton to me. I’ve had so many amazing times there. It’s really nice for me to be able to experience that. It makes it feel like when you’re trying to do something, there is actually something that comes from it,” Chase said.

Nickelodeon gives to life to classic toons By @ALEXANTONETZ a
I
f you’re a ‘90s baby and somehow forgot it despite there being like eight trillion new BuzzFeed posts about it every day, congratulations! (Not for the head injury, though. That probably sucks a lot.) Nickelodeon, whose bitchin’ stable of original ‘90s programming — think “Doug,” “Rugrats” and “Hey Arnold!” — is unparalleled, has seen you sharing that “Which ‘90s Cartoon Character Are You?” quiz on Facebook and wants your sweet, sweet eyeballs watching those characters on the TV instead. The network announced last week that it would begin airing a daily, eight-hour programming block on TeenNick titled “The Splat,” which will feature a rotation of the network’s ‘90s catalog including “All That,” “Hey Arnold!,” “Ren & Stimpy,” “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” “Rugrats” and more. A customized emoji keyboard and dedicated social media channels will also complement the network’s on-air package.“The Splat” is set to premiere Monday and will air daily from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on TeenNick. Keith Dawkins, senior vice president and general manager of TeenNick, answered some questions for UWeekly about “The Splat.” UWeekly: Obviously, taking a look at Facebook and websites like BuzzFeed, it's easy to see that a lot of “millennials,” or whatever you want to call them, are clamoring for nostalgia; to always remember the ‘90s. I know you've run the “'90s Are All That” block, but what have you been seeing to prompt a sched22

uling block of these specific '90s shows and bits? Keith Dawkins: As a general trend, there seems to be a yearning for all things ‘90s. Even more importantly, we've seen a generation of adults who grew up on ‘90s Nickelodeon asking us to bring back the content that they loved as a kid. UW: Personally, the shows in this block aired during my prime Nick years. “Doug” was probably my favorite, but I remember watching “Rugrats,” “Hey Arnold!” and pretty much every other show on the list, like, every day. What is it about these shows that made them so timeless to a generation of people who should have “grown out of them” by this point in their lives? KD: I suppose the same basic concepts that make any great show — great characters, great narrative, great writing AND the shows were funny. UW: We’re starting to get into a generation of younger people in their 20s who were maybe raised on the generation of shows right after these. What kind of desire is there, if any, to present these shows to a new audience? KD: Our focus right now is to present the ‘90s Nick content to the audience that is asking for it … which happens to be adults who grew up on it as kids. UW: This block is running from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. I'm getting old and can barely stay up until 9 o'clock anymore. How will you measure the block’s success? KD: We will measure success by listening to the audience. We are delivering this content on every platform that the audience lives (TV, a dedicated website,
uweekly.com
seven social media platforms), so we will have lots of ways to listen and deliver on what the audience wants. UW: I kind of touched on this with a couple other questions but the Internet is a huge platform for these kinds of nostalgia things among our generation. I see you have a digital platform planned for this to complement your on-air programming. I know there have been unofficial websites that have done this before, and from what I can recall, people loved it, but is there any kind of thought to making full episodes of these shows available on the web? KD: We have lots of fun ideas and plans for the audience with the launch of “The Splat.” ----Some Ohio State students seemed enthusiastic about the idea of reconnecting with beloved old shows. “I think it is an awesome idea,” said Sarah Runion, a third-year in natural resource management. “The current TV shows are quite stupid. Our generation misses the shows we remember growing up with, and now that we will get the opportunity to rewatch our favorite shows is great news.” Mallory Grayson, a fourth-year in communication, detailed how she thought adults could enjoy revisiting television programming they once loved so dearly. “I think it will bring our generation back into Nickelodeon,” she said. “Everyone loves feeling nostalgic, and the shows are probably going to be much funnier with alcohol.” Ashley Wilkinson contributed to this story.
captain kidd goes full sail By JACK LYNCH
T
he five guys in Captain Kidd know what they want — dance hooks, freaky love and pop radio accessibility — and they’ve set a course for what they hope is a path to fame. The next stop? New recorded material, including a full-length album set for release in April and a four-song EP dropping Oct 16. Entitled “Good Life,” the EP takes its name from the title track, a mellow reflection on reckless driving, substance abuse and other symptoms of being 22, tied together with a diverse array of synthesizers and keyboards. “We don’t rely on guitar as much. We’re more synth-heavy,” keyboardist Stew Weinland said in an interview. “We’re definitely getting closer to defining our sound, which is probably what we’re most excited about, to be honest.” Guitarist Eric Blaha agreed and explained what he hopes the true “Captain Kidd sound” will be. “The sound that we’re going for — it’s still going to be really poppy. We want to be a pop band because we love pop music. But it’s going to be more psychedelic, though,” said Blaha, who cited The Weeknd and Tame Impala as influences on the band’s new sonic aesthetic.Blaha said one of Captain Kidd’s main goals for the past two years was honing its performance in a live setting. “Now that we can have more fun at shows, the goal is to just get everybody dancing and moving around; to make sure everyone can leave being ready to go for whatever they want to do the rest of the night,” Blaha said. Blaha and the rest of Captain Kidd are intimately familiar with the need for effective rallying on late nights out — the five of them are Ohio State students themselves, and Blaha talked up the Columbus music community as one of the best ways to keep up the energy before the sunrise. Captain Kidd’s next show is Saturday at Park Street Saloon with Truslow.

Olivia Sullivan is a Senior student from New Jersey. She is a City and Regional Planning major with a minor in Architectural Studies. When she’s not working with the City and Regional Planning Student Organization, she’s is hanging out with friends. Olivia’s style mixes comfortable and basic pieces with cool shoes and layering pieces that pull the look all together.
How would you describe your style? I would say that my style is a little more edgy since I tend to wear darker colors most of the time.
Why is fashion important to you? Fashion is definitely important to me because it gives me a chance to express myself in a different way. I love how it’s a form of creativity that all people have access to.
Who / What inspires you? Since, I’m from New Jersey I am usually really inspired by people around New York City. I was in the city a bunch this summer because of my internship. I'm inspired by most New York street fashion, since I think that a lot of people in the city are really stylish.
TANK $15 FOREVER 21
Is there any celebrity that inspires you specifically? I love Karlie Kloss. I really like both her everyday style and red carpet style. She always looks really pulled together.
How do you pick your outfits? Typically, I just choose what to wear based on my mood that day. Certain days, I dress super casually and comfortable. Other days, I like to spend a little extra time and dress up nicer.
JEANS $98 BANANA REPUBLIC
How does your shoe choices vary from when you’re going to class verses going out at night? For class, I typically wear flip flops in the summer because they are comfy. In the winter, I tend to wear knee high boots. For going out, wedges are my go to in the summer and in the winter I love wearing booties. I typically wear some kind of heel when I go out because it pulls the look together.

The art of selfies By TAMIKA SMITH
H
ave you ever looked at a selfie of Kylie Jenner on Instagram and thought to yourself, “Good Lord, I'm hideous.”? Yea … me too. We don't all look like Kylie Jenner's Instagram pictures. But, let me share a little secret with you – Kylie Jenner doesn't even look like Kylie Jenner's Instagram pictures. The young reality star, like many others, has simply mastered the art of taking selfies (yes, there is an art to it). So, even if you're an ugly duckling in person, it's possible to look like a beautiful swan in pictures. Incorporate these elements into your selfie-taking and you, too, will master the great art. Know your angles. Selfies can easily fall victim to you not knowing which side is your “good side.” For people who don't have naturally defined and chiseled features, taking a picture head on can sometimes widen and flatten the face. In this case, slightly tilting one’s head to one side works best by adding more dimension to your face by opening your eyes and making your cheekbones pop and your jawline appear to be sharper. Makeup is your friend. When taking a selfie, appearing flawless is important. A lot of times, a blemish or pimple shining bright like a diamond will ruin an entire picture. You don't have to do a full face in order to take a good selfie. But, a little foundation or concealer under the eye area will make all the difference. Find the light. One thing you don't want is for your selfie to look dull and lifeless. The right lighting will not only add a glow to your skin, but it will also make your picture seem clearer as well. Filter it up. You should never be afraid to alter your picture in any way. So what if it makes you look 10x better than you actually look in person? Filters are your friend! The right filter will take your selfie to the next level by boosting elements like lighting, contrast and saturation within your photo. Some good filters can be found through apps like SEE UWEEKLY.COM FOR THE REST OF THIS STORY.

fests on fests on fests
Three events you can't miss this fall
P
ools are closing, leaves are falling and classes are in session. Instead of hanging out with friends outdoors every day, days are often spent in the classroom or library. Weekends are the best time to get that quality friend time in, but what is there to do if there is no football game to watch? Answer: Go to festivals! Columbus has many festivals year round, but I believe that fall is the best time to go to them. What is a festival without amazing food? Here are some festivals that you should consider going to that surround Columbus that are food themed:
Enon Apple Butter Festival Oct. 10-11 Located in Clark County, about an hour away from Columbus, this festival has everything: food, music, crafts, and, of course, apple butter! If you aren’t into eating apple butter, the festival offers funnel cakes, dumplings, walking tacos, sausages, pork chops, and more.! The festival was originally started to help fundraise for the Enon Community Historical Society. Although this event still helps fund the society, it also helps funds many non-profits, such as school and church groups. Come, rain or shine, to enjoy various entertainment and learn how apple butter is made.
Circleville Pumpkin Show Oct. 21-24
A
re you wondering where you can satisfy your pumpkin cravings as fall starts to set in? Here are some of my favorite pumpkin treats!
Pumpkin Ice Cream
This four- day festival has plenty to do! The event started in 1903, when the mayor of Circleville decided to exhibit pumpkins in front of his house, many being cut into jack- o'-lanterns. Many people enjoyed the idea, and as the years went on, more and more people came to see the display. Now, it is a full-blown event! There are parades (little miss pumpkin parade, pet parade, band parade, etc.), concerts, contests and a lot of pumpkins (when I say a lot, I mean they are thousands on the side of the street)! Circleville is a 40- minute drive from campus.
Are you having trouble accepting the fact that summer has ended? No worries! This treat will erase all end-of-summer blues and help your transition into the fall season. Mardi Gras Homemade Icecream’s pumpkin flavor is out of this world! It’s creamy with just the right balance of pumpkin and spices. Mardi Gras Homemade Ice Cream can be found on Hard Road.
Ohio Smoked Meat and BBQ Festival Oct. 16-17
Pumpkin Pie is a classic; it is enjoyed everywhere, especially on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is a little less than two months away. Don’t worry, though, because Just Pies in Clintonville is serving up their delicious Pumpkin Praline Pie!
If you love pulled pork, ribs, or sausage, this festival is for you! And the best part: It is free! There is a BBQ contest, featuring chicken, ribs, pork and brisket. There are also train rides, concerts, DJs and beer! Interested in attending the Ohio Smoked Meat and BBQ festival? It is located in Nelsonville, a one- hour drive from campus. Festivals are a great way to take mini road trips or day trips on the weekend. They give you a chance to explore smaller towns in Ohio and get away from the hustle and bustle city life. And of course, the opportunity to eat amazing food is always a plus.

PSL cake in a cup cupcakes recipe prove to be a Mobile By ASHLEY WILKINSON
D
uring Halloween, we carve pumpkins. At Thanksgiving, we eat pumpkin pie. Pumpkin is a much-loved ingredient during the fall season. The last few years, pumpkin has been introduced to a very popular fad in today’s society: the pumpkin spice latte. But I’m here to talk about food, not drinks. After much brainstorming on how to be able to write about the wonderful espresso drink, I realized that it may be possible to bake with. I decided that I would make a mug cake (espresso goes in mugs, so an espresso cake should, too.) After looking at many mug-cake recipes, I constructed this recipe (which turned out delicious). In an average-sized mug, combine these ingredients: • • • • • • •
3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1/8 teaspoon baking powder ½ tablespoon vegetable oil 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 ½ tablespoon pumpkin spice latte, partially cooled
After mixing well, place mug into a microwave and heat for 45 seconds on the highest power. The final product is moist, spongy and tastes just like a pumpkin spice latte. Enjoy!

booze your way into fall 6 drinks to warm up with alcohol
T
he weather is cooling down, and that is great … well for the next month and a half or so, then I’ll be regretting saying that. Anyway, these drinks will help warm you up and get you going for a long night or even help keep you and Netflix company.
Not your mother’s chai latte • • •
2 shots of baileys 1 shot vanilla vodka ¾ cup of chai tea (use 2 teabags for stronger tea) Combine all alcohol into a glass, and then add hot chai tea. Stir and enjoy!
Hot buttery rum Yes, I said butter. • 2 ounces dark rum • 1 teaspoon brown sugar • 1 cinnamon stick • 1 pat of butter • 2 to 3 ounces hot water Place butter, sugar and cinnamon in a mug or coffee glass, then pour in rum and hot water. Stir. Top with more butter if you’re into that stuff.
Fireball Cider Bomb Cocktail • Handful of Ice Cubes • 2 ounces Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey • 3 ounces apple cider • 1 ounce cherry syrup • Apple slices • Maraschino Cherry Fill a ¼ of a glass with ice cubes (you want to chill the drink and not water it down).

Hot Caramel Apple Cocktail • 1 quart and 1 1/2 cups apple cider • 1 1/2 cups apple liqueur • 1 cup spiced rum • ½ cup caramel-flavored syrup • 3 apples, chopped • 4 cinnamon sticks Place everything in the slow cooker. Cook on the low setting for one to two hours. Serve warm.
Pumpkin beer cocktail This is by far my favorite because it is so easy to make and it gives you a great buzz. • 1 ounce whipped cream flavored vodka (or vanilla vodka) • 1/2 ounce cinnamon schnapps • 1 bottle pumpkin beer, chilled (I use Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale) Add vodka, schnapps and pumpkin beer to a tall glass. Stir to combine. Enjoy!
Hot Cinnamon Jell-O shots • 2 2/3 cup ginger ale • 4 envelopes plain gelatin • 1 2/3 cup Fireball whiskey • Few drops red food coloring Pour the ginger ale into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Allow the gelatin to soak for two to three minutes, and then begin to heat on low, stirring constantly until gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove saucepan from heat and allow cooling to room temperature. Stir in the whiskey. Let cool slightly and then pour into desired cups.

3 slow-cooker drink recipes By LOGAN KORN
S
ome might say that the best part of fall is the pumpkin-flavored everything or the leaves changing. Well, I beg to differ. I think apple cider is the best part of fall. Try out some of these recipes using apple cider and you will see what I mean.
Hot caramel apple cider • •
4 cups of apple cider ½ to 1 cup of caramel vodka (Smirnoff might be your best bet) • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon or a couple cinnamon sticks Add all of the ingredients to a slow cooker on low heat for a minimum of 30 minutes, and then simply serve and enjoy. Don’t have a slow cooker? Use a large pot to heat the ingredients just make sure to avoid bringing it to a boil.
Spiced slow cooker wine
• 1 bottle of red wine • 1/4 cup of brandy • 1/4 cup of honey • 1 orange (sliced) • 2 cinnamon sticks • 5 cloves (whole) • 2 cups of apple cider Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker except for the brandy and cook on low for 30 minutes to an hour. When warm, add the brandy.
Apple cider Jell-o shots
• 1 cup of water • 2 cups of Hard Apple Cider • 1/2 cup of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey • 1/2 cup of Sour Apple Schnapps • 2 envelopes of unflavored Gelatin Pour the water and apple cider into a saucepan, and heat over medium heat. Pour in the Gelatin and dissolve. Remove the saucepan from the heat after the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour in the Fireball and Apple Schnapps and put in the fridge until the Jell-o is firm enough (2+ hours).

Horoscopes Aries: Me thinks you doth protest too much, Aries. Or to put it into laymen terms, “He who smelt it dealt it.” Just chill a minute or you'll look too suspicious. Taurus:You know sarcasm is just a defense mechanism, Taurus. It's your way of deflecting serious situations and turning them into jokes. And I'm sure it never gets annoying for your friends, Taurus. Gemini: What is this, Freaky Friday? Cause the tables have turned! Oh, snap! Wicky, wicky, what's the deal, bro? No really, I think it's more like Wife Swap up in this piece because your significant other is cheating on you. Womp, womp.

Cancer: This week, when faced with adversity, look inside yourself for help.You are your own superhero.You are the knight in shinning armor. Now, where did you leave your keys? Leo: Put on a happy face, Leo. There's something to be said for people who can grin and bare it nowadays. Everyone is so focused with expressing feelings we forget to congratulate those who bottle it up and lie to themselves.You can do it, Leo! Just have a drink and pretend to be happy. Virgo: Take a moment for yourself this week,Virgo. Take a breath and be thankful for all that you have. Then, take another breath and think about those brand new shoes you can't afford and curse the gods for smiting you and the kicks you so justly deserve! Namaste.

Libra: Friends don't let friends drunk Facebook, Libra. No seriously, put the phone down.You will get stuck in a stalker/shame spiral and you will forever be lost in the black hole of the book. Just block your ex and move on. In the event of a blackout all bets are off though... Scorpio: Everything is a process, Scorpio.You can't rush everything and still expect to produce gold.You should be happy with silver...or bronze.You know that nickel free metal they put on the back of earrings? You produce that. Be patient. Sagittarius:You are your harshest critic, Sagittarius. On second thought, your Mom is your harshest critic. So maybe call her and ask her for a reality check. Whatever you were worried people were saying behind your back will be way worse coming from your Mom: good practice!

Capricorn: Watch your back, Capricorn. Well, obviously you can't physically watch your own back but metaphorically you should; you don't know who to trust this week. And honestly, you should at least be able to glance behind your back or have some sort of peripheral view of it because seriously, someone might try to stab you in the back, literally. Aquarius: The best is yet to come, Aquarius. It sounds cheesy but it's true. Ok, ok so maybe the worst is yet come yet too. Who knows? But, I know for a fact that the best pizza you've ever eaten is still out there. And that, Aquarius, is worth living for. Pisces: Make new friends but keep the old, Pisces. Also, make new enemies. And old foes. And of course you can never have too many current nemesis. Or is it nemisi? Anyone, make some people angry right about meow. Gotta keep it interesting, Pisces.
FROM STELLA WITH LOVE
what to do when you've screwed up
A
s I walked home on Saturday night, I saw two situations that piqued my curiosity. When I walked past Canes, I saw a girl on the phone semi-sobbing and repeatedly saying, “I know. I fucked up.” A few minutes later, I see a different distraught girl that was on the phone, say, “I’m sorry, just tell me where you are.” It was weird. For all I know, they could’ve been talking to each other—or they were on the phone with someone they’re seeing. I eventually started thinking about times when I had f*cked up in a relationship and had to apologize. They reminded me how hard it can be to face a situation where you’re at fault. Though, here’s what I’ve learned: we’re human. We aren’t perfect and we’re going to make bad decisions every now and then, but that doesn’t mean we’re bad people. We may hurt someone because we acted selfishly. It’s not right, but it happens. That’s the reality, and guess what? You don’t need to be ashamed of screwing up in a relationship—not forever, at least. It’s normal to feel guilty and you should because that’s what makes you human (and not a psycho, remember my article on sociopaths?). Forgive yourself, learn from your mistakes and
move on! Though, let me enlighten you all. Here’s what to do when you’re at fault:
1. Reason. First, cry. Get the tears out of your system. There’s nothing more counterproductive than sobbing between every other sentence. Once you’ve got your emotions in check, think about what happened. Take a step back and consider your feelings and your guy’s feelings. Ask yourself why you think he’s upset and why you messed up.
"pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together." 2. Responsibility. When you talk about what happened, put your pride away and show some humility (key word: some). Have enough dignity to know when you’re being mistreated during an argument. Apologize. Explain why you screwed
up, his role in it, and how you’ll fix the problem. You’re in a point in your lives when you need to take responsibility and act maturely, ladies. That includes making sure you walk away knowing you addressed all that you needed to.
3. Respect. I know emotions are running high when you’re arguing, but try and remain respectful to him and of yourself. Don’t bring up unnecessary criticism. You’ll be there all night, and a lack of maturity just means you aren’t ready for a relationship. End it and do some soul-searching. 4. Results. Results will vary. In an ideal scenario, you and your guy will come to a mutual agreement. If it ends in even more tears, that’s OK. In the words of Elizabeth Taylor, “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” The great thing about life is that you’ll encounter other guys and they only get better as you grow, so stay strong. With love, Stella
