OSU introduced plans for major redevelopments that would affect 9 acres of land east of the university near North High Street and 15th Avenue.

Area includes businesses like Toos Under High, The O Patio & Pub, Brenen’s Cafe Daniel Bendtsen Arts editor bendtsen.1@osu.edu Campus Partners bought Long’s Bookstore in 2000, nearly a century after it first opened. Since that point, the community-planning corporation has bought other properties while working on a long-term master plan of the area. Details of that master plan were unveiled Friday, and would involve

a redevelopment of more than 9 acres around 15th Avenue and High Street. Campus Partners, along with local property owners, aims to tear down the building that currently houses Brenen’s Cafe, Jimmy John’s and The O Patio & Pub, replacing them with a public square. Campus Partners President Amanda Hoffsis said she envisions a “really beautiful public square that you would find anywhere in Europe.” Her company doesn’t own that property, but Hoffsis said they are “currently working on” it for the future. The plan also aims to construct a parking garage to service the entire area and flank the public square with shops and a “signature building,” currently planned to be a hotel. Campus Partners wants that hotel to become a “district icon” by providing a “terminating vista on axis with the campus spine that

One autumn night, the Kitchens gathered for a family lunch at Eddie George’s Grille 27, but the occasion wasn’t a purely happy one. Mitzi Kitchen, the mother of the family, was diagnosed with angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer that affects the inner lining of blood vessels. It spreads quickly because it’s in constant contact with the blood supply, her son Stewart Kitchen said. Stewart Kitchen added that although the diagnosis was initially hard to accept, his mother is responding well approximately three months into treatment. “There’s not a lot of research on prognosis and treatment because it is such a rare thing, but the positive thing is that she’s been responding pretty positively to chemo,” Stewart Kitchen said. Chemotherapy treatments usually last between five and six hours, said Alyssa Kitchen, one of Mitzi’s daughters and a graduate student working at the Office of Human Resources.

In response to hearing his mother’s diagnosis at that family lunch, Stewart Kitchen, a drum major for the Ohio State marching band in 2006 and 2007 and the first OSU drum major instructor, decided to sell some of his old gear on eBay. The role of drum major has been a part of the marching band at OSU since 1878. The drum major accompanies the band during performances, and each drum major uniform is custom-made. “I was really surprised at first because it was a huge part of his life,” said Alyssa Kitchen.“I just think it’s really great that he was willing to do that for Mom.” He put his drum major breastplate and a marching band hat up for auction, and a cheerleader friend of his, Zac Nixon, who graduated from OSU in 2008, contributed a cheerleading sweater to the auction, which ended Feb. 23. “I wanted to do something, not just to help my mother out with her fight, but also to spread awareness,” Stewart Kitchen said. “Angiosarcoma is such a rare cancer. It would be nice to have more research, it would be

Fatal stabbing off campus raises concerns for some students AMANDA ETCHISON AND MICHAEL HUSON Campus editor and Lantern reporter etchison.4@osu.edu and huson.4

Some students are concerned about off-campus safety after a homicide was reported near Ohio State’s campus on Sunday morning. Officers responded to a report of a stabbing near Summit Street and Northwood Avenue on Sunday at about 3 a.m., according to a Columbus Police Department media release. They found 21-year-old John Austin Snyder “critically injured” in front of 2142 Summit St., the release stated. Snyder was transported to OSU’s Wexner Medical Center, but he died at approximately 4 a.m. Detectives arrested a suspect, 23-year-old Alexander N. Delap of East Frambes Avenue, and are in the process of executing a search warrant at the suspect’s residence. The investigation is still ongoing, according to the release. This incident is the 12th homicide in Columbus this year. Austin Hartman, a second-year in chemical engineering, can see the intersection of Summit Street and Northwood Avenue from his front porch. He said he was asleep when the incident occurred, but found out about it Sunday morning on Twitter. “It’s freaky. I feel a little uncomfortable about it,” he said. “I know the area is kind of

Ohio State self-reported 47 minor Big Ten and NCAA rules violations in 2014, including one as the result of an accidental text sent by a football coach’s 4-year-old son. OSU wide receivers coach Zach Smith’s son picked up his father’s cell phone when a recruit called on May 27, and accidentally sent an automatic text message in return. The university sent a letter of education to the football coaches after the incident in regards to NCAA texting rules and phone security. The NCAA did not review the case as part of its interpretations philosophy, which allows for flexibility when reviewing rule violations. This information is the result of three separate public records requests submitted by The Lantern. The most recent request spanned from Sept. 1 through Jan. 18. The records request showed 19 self-reported NCAA and Big Ten violations in the final four months of the year.

Local band Deadwood Floats draws inspiration from mundane Kat Niu Senior Lantern reporter niu.57@osu.edu In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that will profile a new Columbus band each week. If a seed grows into a tree, then Drew Williams and Adam Schutz are the seeds and Deadwood Floats is the tree. Stemming from a two-man band, Columbus folk sextet Deadwood Floats members express their emotions through ambiguity and enigma. The six-piece includes founding members Schutz and Williams, as well as Joel Arter, Katie Kramer, Luke Fleeman and Tommy Williams. Their wide choice of instruments ranges from acoustic guitar to accordion and violin to ukulele. Drew Williams said the band’s music is a mixture of nostalgia and melancholy. “Its pretty introspective,” Drew Williams said. “We sing about our experiences — it’s mundane stuff. We are emotional people.”

Adam Schutz performs in his Columbus band, Deadwood Floats, at Rumba Café on Feb. 21.

Schutz said their songs focus on times and places in life, though sometimes they add a dash of melodrama. “We make our lives sound like they are a lot harder than they are but they are still experiences. It’s on a personal account,” he said. The band’s song “The Colours I Earned,” written by Schutz, expresses challenging events such as roommate bickering and disagreements. “It was pretty mundane, normal roommate arguments that I turned into a song. In my head at the time, it was a more intense than it really was,” Schutz added. Drew Williams’ “Mars Oversea” tells of a long-distance relationship he was involved in. The song was inspired by a phrase in the song “I See the Moon,” written by Meredith Wilson. “There is a weird little saying I heard once: ‘I see the moon and the moon sees me and the moon sees the one that I want to see. So God bless the moon and God bless me.’ It’s about the fact that we can both look at the same

campus Summit brings poverty discussion to OSU ALAINA BARTEL Lantern reporter bartel.21@osu.edu With tears in his eyes, Jim Ziolkowski spoke about his near-death experience with malaria to Ohio State students, and how this experience opened his eyes to the global issue of poverty. Twenty years ago, he was in Africa with his youth organization building its first of 700 schools. After a friend of his contracted malaria, which Ziolkowski said had a death rate of more than 1 million that year, he started experiencing symptoms. The doctor had told him that if he stayed away from the hospital for two more hours, he would have died. While Ziolkowski had a near-death experience, the people around him were dying. To him, their death was because of extreme poverty. Ziolkowski is the founder, president and CEO of buildOn, a nonprofit organization that has a mission to break the cycle of poverty through building schools in the world’s poorest countries and by providing service-learning programs in some of the nation’s toughest high schools. He and other social entrepreneurs gathered in the Mershon Auditorium on Saturday for the Alleviating Poverty Through Entrepreneurship Summit. The summit, which invites people from around the globe to explore sustainable solutions to poverty, was started by OSU students in 2009 and is sponsored by several businesses. Joe DeLoss, founder of Hot Chicken Takeover, which is currently located at the North Market, said at the event that his company believes poverty can be alleviated through employment. Hot Chicken, a fried chicken eatery which began as a pop-up restaurant on the streets of Columbus in June 2014, employs 25 people and offers second-chance employment and skills training to the residents of Columbus, such as those formerly incarcerated, DeLoss said. He added that the company invests in its employees differently by building long-term relationships with them so they can see longterm change, whether they stay in the food industry or keep moving forward with their lives. “We just want to be the foundation for them to constantly move forward,” DeLoss said. “If someone is not dedicated to personal growth, they do not belong at Hot Chicken.” Other speakers included Quijano Flores, co-founder of NextDrop, a company that alerts the citizens living in urban India via text when

KIVA fellows are individuals who volunteer their time to work directly with international microfinance institutions, according to the KIVA website. MIT Sloan fellows are participants in a 12-month full-time executive MBA program, according to the MIT Sloan website. “What I really think is the core, is that we build communities, and we support communities,” Patitsas said of Exela Ventures LLC’s mission. “The real geniuses and pioneers are the Guatemalan people. I went there thinking, ‘I’m going to save Guatemala, I’m going to open

the gate and pass them through’, and then I realized, that’s not true at all. They were saving me.” Bita Diomande, an MIT Sloan fellow and an entrepreneur focused on online platforms and social enterprise, said as a child, she didn’t like being asked what she wanted to be when she grew up. Now, at age 29, she has an answer. “I knew that I probably wasn’t going to be a doctor, because I wasn’t that good at science. I couldn’t debate like a lawyer, and I didn’t think I’d make a very good teacher. I did know two things though: I wanted to be my own boss, and I wanted to change the world,” Diomande said in her speech. “I think what I wanted to say back then is I wanted to be a social entrepreneur, I just didn’t know that terminology at age nine.” The final speaker was Christian Nicolas

Desrosiers, co-founder of Qorax Energy, a renewable energy product distribution company that works in Somalia. He said he thinks the deepest causes of poverty and inequality are tied to the emotional content of capitalism. “The virtue of capitalism is that it incentivises us to be inventive, and to continually think about new and better ways to allocate resources, and to serve people most efficiently,” Desrosiers said. Diomande said she thinks people from a variety of careers have the ability to make a difference in the world. “Not all of us are going to be social entrepreneurs, and I don’t think social entrepreneurship is the only way to go. It’s one of many solutions,” she said. “What I would like to leave you with is, don’t underestimate your ability to change someone’s life.”

Friday. That rezoning would allow for more freedom in planning, including the parking garage and a mixed use of buildings for retail, residential and office locations. All property owners within the area outlined for rezoning have signed onto the plan. Hoffsis said the rezoning process, expected to last through the end of the summer, will reveal what actions Campus Partners is allowed to take. The community will have an opportunity to be involved in the public rezoning process, according to a press release, which added that “plans envision a high-quality pedestrian environment.” Toos Spirits Under High, a bar located in the area, said in a Friday tweet that it would be closing. “We had a great run…Couldn’t have done it without you guys,” the bar tweeted from its account, @ToosUnderHigh. It sent out a tweet later that evening, though, that said, “Don’t worry we’re not going out without a fight! #savetoos.” Social media responded after the Friday announcements, with some students lamenting the closure of businesses and some using the hashtag #savetoos. Halle Flate, a first-year in biology, expressed concern that the changes will negatively affect the student experience.

who has lived on Northwood for the past three years, learned about the incident late Sunday afternoon after visiting his parents in northern Ohio. “The fact that it happened two blocks away is kind of scary,” he said. Cekovich said, however, he hasn’t heard of anything similar occurring in the time he has lived in the area. He said it was an “excellent area,” adding that the incident doesn’t change his thoughts of the neighborhood. “It’s calm … It’s a mellow area,” he said. “I feel like it’s just a freak thing that wouldn’t happen again.”

“As I get older, I’d rather have the places that have been here because it’s tradition. As a freshman, I would like to experience that as well, and I don’t want to have construction there during my four years here,” she said. If rezoning is approved, developments would begin independently of Campus Partners when property owners secure financing to contract construction. Because Campus Partners will not be the developer, there is no timeline for rollout of the different projects. Campus Partners, formed in 1995, is a private community planning corporation that works to revitalize OSU’s off-campus neighborhoods. The announcement comes about a week after the university also put out a request for proposals on a project to revamp the OSU arts district opposite that intersection. That project aims to create a plaza near the Wexner Center for the Arts and move the theater department, which is currently housed in the Drake Performance and Event Center, closer to High Street, and also includes plans for renovations to Weigel Hall, Mershon Auditorium and the Wexner Center. While Hoffsis said she believes the two plans will complement one another, and described the timing as a “happy coincidence,” she said both plans have moved forward independently of one another. Campus Partners’ other major work has been the South Campus Gateway, which opened in 2005. In recent years, the Gateway has struggled with stability as a rolodex of businesses have come and gone.

Mitzi Kitchen still has two more chemotherapy sessions to go, and Alyssa Kitchen said the family is just taking it one step at a time from there. The $620 made from the hat will go to the Urban and Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research. The sweater’s proceeds — $200 — will be split evenly between the medical expenses and the Meyer Fund. Mitzi Kitchen has done six rounds of chemotherapy, and Alyssa Kitchen has gone with her mother to every doctor’s appointment and chemotherapy session. “She is really outgoing and bubbly, and she doesn’t know a stranger,” Alyssa Kitchen said. “Even at chemo, she calls them her ‘chemo parties,’ and she knows every nurse that comes in.” Mitzi Kitchen works for OSU in Upper Sandusky. The Kitchen family has a deeply rooted history with OSU, and Alyssa and Stewart Kitchen are third-generation Buckeyes. “(The family) sees the band start taking the field and they get teary-eyed when they hear ‘Carmen Ohio,’ and that’s the kind of family I grew up in,” Stewart Kitchen said. “My mother has always been such a proud Ohio State alumna. She’s just the most proud Buckeye ever.” Stewart Kitchen said the marching band provided him with a lot of positive support after hearing about his mother’s cancer. “It truly shows the real culture and character of our marching band,” he said. “They’ve really helped me through this.”

campus Deadwood Floats from 1A thing in the sky from different points — different time zones even — and feel connected,” he said. Responsible for writing many of Deadwood Floats’ songs, Drew Williams and Schutz have different writing styles. Drew Williams said the initial step to his writing routine involves repetition and finding the right melody. As a way to develop the song, Williams said he sings the same phrase over and over to see if it fits the stanza, phonetically and rhythmically. “That line will stay in the song but it won’t specifically mean anything in the context of the song, but it’s there. There’s a line in ‘Line in the Sheets’ — ‘It was a perfect night for this / Until you threw it to the seat.’ That was just because it was the right amount of syllables. It doesn’t really make a lot of literal sense,” he said. Conversely, Schutz’s writing is more calculated. “I’ll take a whole verse just to describe one thing. The verse (might) sound a lot more grandiose than it really is,” Schutz said. “It’s never succinct — it’s really drawn out.” Schutz said the lyrics are fairly vague to listeners, partly because of the band members’ anxiety. Aside from musical content, the anxiety is evident in their stage-performance style. The group avoids eye contact and often sings with closed eyes. A mixture of stage fright and social anxiety, the detachment is a coping mechanism for the hyper-awareness of both their surroundings and imperfection of their material. “It’s harder to play a whole show with everyone just watching you. I played once by myself and it was the worst things I’ve ever done,” Schutz said. “When you close your eyes, you can block everything out and focus on what you’re doing a little more. I can’t even begin to describe what I do when I make eye contact (with someone) or am looking at the camera. I just can’t control — I just start doing weird things.”

Still, the two see anxiety and ambiguity as traits that allow their audience to relate to them. “Both of us have lyrics that are fairly vague to other people. I think that is a good thing because I think people can relate well,” Drew Williams said. Schutz said the ambiguity is “almost like a defense mechanism – it’s a way to be personal without being personal. It’s like being vulnerable without completely being vulnerable.” Though the two rarely write in conjunction, they’d like to change that to improve their overall sound. Schutz said they are hoping for more focus in direction. Deadwood Floats’ most recent album, “Three Years,” was released in June. “We’re really proud of it. It’s very cohesive but there is a lot of different directions. We’ve been talking a lot lately and we are trying to focus our sound a little more. A part of that would be working together. Our songs have always complemented each other but they’ve never necessarily been one sound,” he said. Keihin Rhoden, a fan of the band and roommate of band member Tommy Williams, said he thinks Deadwood Floats brings a new quality to the table as well as an array of emotions. “I come (to their shows) because I get in this mood when I listen to them and it puts me into another world. I am not an emotional guy but when I listen to them, it’s just phenomenal,” Rhoden said. “I like to think of Deadwood Floats as a band that will break your heart, and then will heal your heart, and then break it again.” Rhoden said the band relates well not only to their listeners but also to each other. “You can really feel the vibes they have with each other. They come together great,” he said. The sextet is set to play during Local Love at Fourth Street Bar and Grill on March 26.

Violations from 1A Of those 19 violations, only two involved the OSU football program, and none involved the men’s basketball team. Apart from the accidental text message from Smith’s son, the only other football violation was for “impermissible on-campus contact,” submitted to the NCAA on Sept. 25. That incident involved coach Urban Meyer having “inadvertent contact with a junior college non-qualifier.” That junior college athlete was on campus without the knowledge of the OSU staff, according to the records request. OSU declared the athlete ineligible until he was reinstated by the NCAA. The records did not specify any actions by the NCAA. Eighteen of the final 19 violations of 2014 were for NCAA rules, and only one prompted punishment from the NCAA beyond what was handed down by the university. As reported by The Lantern on Oct. 14, the NCAA imposed two $500 fines

on OSU after an ineligible men’s soccer player competed in two matches. Apart from the soccer violation, three violations had monetary consequences. A member of the field hockey team took

part in 17 games during the 2013-14 school year even though she was ineligible. The school paid $5,000 in fines and declared the student-athlete ineligible for field hockey going forward. One member of the OSU wrestling team inadvertently received school books during Fall Semester because his name “incorrectly appeared on the institution’s book list.” The NCAA reinstatement staff said the student-athlete must repay the value of the books before being reinstated, which was the same decision made by the university in the case. Members of the women’s tennis team were required to repay $28 after the program provided them with impermissible per diem on two occasions. Since Sept. 1, 12 different OSU programs self-reported violations, with football, men’s soccer, wrestling, field hockey, men’s gymnastics and women’s volleyball reporting two each. The OSU athletics communication staff also self-reported a violation of its own for

“impermissible publicity of voluntary summer workouts.” Through Jan. 18, OSU athletics had only self-reported one NCAA violation and no Big Ten violations. The NCAA violation was for impermissible text messages and phone calls, reported by the football program on Jan. 7. The violation was the result of six accidental one-minute phone calls and five text messages over a span of 10 months. The university prevented the football coaching staff from making phone calls for one week as a punishment, and the NCAA decided not to impose any further sanctions. The three records requests submitted by The Lantern showed eight total football violations in 2014, along with the first OSU violation of 2015. The first request was submitted July 8 and fulfilled Aug. 11, the second was submitted Sept. 23 and fulfilled Oct. 14, and the third was submitted Jan. 18 and fulfilled Thursday evening.

OSU play a ‘cautionary tale’ on race OLIVIA HAMILTON Lantern reporter hamilton.889@osu.edu

n the mid-1950s, playwright Alice Childress wrote a play about a play that tells a story of racism and one actress’s battle within herself to either conform or to take a stand for herself. “Trouble in Mind” is the story about a fictional African-American actress, Wiletta Mayer, who is forced to play limited roles, such as characters that only wear headscarves and are never able to dress up. Though it’s set in 1957, “Trouble in Mind” carries themes that its producers said are relevant today. The play comes to OSU this week in a Department of Theatre production directed by Melissa Maxwell and will be performed by OSU undergraduate students. “I’ve always enjoyed working with students. It’s something I’m passionate about as a professional director,” Maxwell said. Maxwell said the most interesting challenge was directing the play within the play.

“What’s remarkable about it is that, though it’s a classic play, it’s not very well-known by many, so that was fun and interesting. The benchmark of any classic play is that a lot of what goes on in the play are still very relevant to today,” Maxwell said. Maxwell invited Koritha Mitchell, an associate professor in the Department of English and specialist in African-American literature, to teach the students who are performing in “Trouble in Mind” more about its history. “The thing is any time you’re working on a period piece, there’s a lot to educate them to,” Maxwell said, “It’s a different era. There’s a lot they just don’t know about because its before their time, and yet I tried to relate it to their time.” After the play’s performance on Thursday, a discussion will be held to discuss “Trouble in Mind.” It will be moderated by the dramaturg and assistant director Shelby Brewster, and Mitchell will join Maxwell in answering questions about the play. “What I like about the play is the strength of Wiletta as a character,” Mitchell said. “What’s important about her voice is that she highlights how, despite the years of experience she has, that doesn’t create more opportunity for her. While an

upstart white person can come along and be a director on Broadway, because Broadway is a white space, it doesn’t matter that she has these years of experience and has been in show business. She is always going to be seen in a certain category.” In an email, Brewster said the struggles that Mayer faces as an African-American actress in the 1950s remain issues for contemporary actors. “Mayer struggles to justify her beliefs with the parts she has to play. I think contemporary actors face the same problems, as they are often typecast,” Brewster said. Elements of satire are included in “Trouble in Mind” to show the absurdity of racism, Mitchell said. “Some of the things that are funny are also very troubling,” Mitchell said. “I would hope that this play about a play, this commentary on institutions, would be something that people would apply to all the institutions in which they involved.” In the play, Mayer is continually degraded by the director, Al Manners, who is a middle-aged white man.

CONCERT REVIEW

MisterWives gives enthusiastic performance, but lacks in fine details MICHELE THEODORE Managing editor for content theodore.13@osu.edu It was hard not to feel happy after MisterWives played in Columbus. The band’s songs inherently make you feel good, and it’s easy to jump around to the pop beats. It’s just happy music. When the six members came out to “Our Own House,” the song their tour was named after, it seemed like every head was nodding at the Saturday night show. The group put on a good performance, but it was MisterWives’ first headlining tour and in some ways, it showed. There were benefits of it being the band’s first top-tier tour. It seemed that the band members were genuinely grateful to be performing, and between songs they often expressed their gratitude to the fans. At one point early in the set, the drummer, Etienne Bowler, even got up from his drum set to come to the main mic to tell the audience how surreal it felt to performing.

Monday March 2, 2015

But there were also downsides to it being such a big, early tour for MisterWives. There were parts of the show that were obviously pre-planned and at times felt a bit forced. The guitarist, Marc Campbell, and the bassist, William Hehir, had moments where they’d synchronize their movements to match the drum beats or the feeling of the song. Sure a choreographed shoulder movement here and there are fine, but it felt a little corny. It was a nice visual effect, but a little too distracting. That forced feeling was expounded even more when the main vocalist, Mandy Lee, counted off and the entire band began leg-kicking in time together, which felt more like a Rockettes audition than a well-thought out performance gesture. Lee’s vocals were incredible, though, and she was energetic the whole show. Campbell, Hehir and Bowler echoed that energy and if it would have stopped there, it would have been great.

On the occasional Sunday, the Wexner Center for the Arts opens up its doors to the Columbus community, offering activities and special events for all ages. The festivities on March 1 coincided with the winter exhibitions, ‘Fiber: Sculpture 1960-present’ and ‘Hassan Hajjaj: My Rock Stars Experimental, Volume 1.’ Kids came in from the cold with their parents and traversed a variation of material-art mediums including felting, weaving, knitting activities and spinning yarn.

Play from 5A “I think that he represents a white person who sees themselves as liberal and opened-minded, yet doesn’t see that he doesn’t see other people as equal,” Mitchell said. “He lacks self-awareness that I think Childress would suggest is encouraged in white men in America.” Maxwell said “Trouble in Mind” highlights the dangers of both false narratives and the perpetuation of stereotypes, calling it a “cautionary tale.” The false narratives, she said, are derived from Manners’ character, which inaccurately represent the culture of black people in the south.

“Our main character learns she has to take a stand, that simply getting paid good money to play characters that aren’t true to your culture or your history, isn’t enough, that she has to say no at some point and be true to herself,” Maxwell said. “Trouble in Mind” will be performed Wednesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m. and March 10-12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Roy Bowen Theatre in the Drake Performance and Event Center.

MisterWives from 5A But it didn’t. Because it’s not a four-person band that tours with MisterWives. In fact, it’s not even a fourperson band at all, even though it feels like it. There are five members in the band normally, and more horns brought in for some songs. For the tour, there was one additional member on saxophone. It’s not the saxophone player’s fault that he isn’t officially part of the band, but the he felt at times a bit out of place — as if he had just wandered away from an O.A.R. audition and found MisterWives

outside and thought “sure, this works.” The fifth member of the band (an official member, not just a touring one like the saxophonist) goes by Dr. Blum and played keys, trumpet and accordion throughout the show, but also seemed a bit out of place. He was probably the most musically talented of the group, often playing keys with one hand and trumpet with the other, but he just felt a little awkward on stage. The way Blum just slightly missed the mark sort of summed up the show. His trumpet playing wasn’t highlighted until the end of the show, during the encore, which

was a shame because it was so good. The band also saved its most well-known number, “Reflections,” for second-to-last, which was normal, but waited until its encore to really burst out of its shell. It wasn’t until then that the band members really showed off how good they were at playing a song that started out as a cover of “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. It was a well-done show, but just fell short of being great. I’ll still keep my eye on MisterWives, though. A few awkward movements and missed opportunities are only room to keep growing.

Buckeyes bounce Boilermakers Comeback key as March begins james grega, jr. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta has never lost a game at home in the month of March. And he doesn’t seem to care. “We got what, one more left at home? What’s my road record, because we have one on the road before that?” Matta asked after a 65-61 comeback win over Purdue on Sunday night. The Buckeyes, despite falling behind by 12 points in the first half, polished off the comeback at home in front of 15,978 at the Schottenstein Center. The win puts OSU in a three-way tie for the fourth seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which is set to begin March 11 in Chicago. If the season was over, tiebreakers would make the Buckeyes the sixth seed in the tournament, keeping them from the doublebye rewarded to the top four teams in the conference. But with two games remaining to close out the regular season — one against Penn State on the road and the other against Wisconsin at home — Matta said he hasn’t paid any attention to where his team is seeded. “For a million dollars, I couldn’t tell you who we are in a tie with, that’s how much I follow it,” Matta said. “I’ll be honest with you, 15 years as a head coach, I’ve never thought about the conference tournament and I won’t think about it till Sunday when the season is over. My focus is on getting these guys ready to go on Wednesday night.” While Matta might not know, OSU is in a tie with the Michigan State Spartans and Iowa Hawkeyes. The Buckeyes put up a combined 0-3 record against the two teams this season. However, Matta said coming back to beat Purdue on its home floor was a big step in the right direction heading into the home stretch. “You’ve got to find ways to win basketball games, you have to make plays, and I think guys did a good job of that,” Matta said. “We were fortunate to get back in it.” Playing a huge part in Sunday’s win was freshman guard D’Angelo Russell, who said he is excited about the way the Buckeyes are playing as they close out the regular season. “I could get used to this. This is great. Coach preached in shootaround, ‘It’s March, and it’s here,’” Russell said. “Every win counts and any win can trigger a run, and just getting this win on our home court is great going down to Penn State.” Senior forward Sam Thompson, who scored nine of his 14 points in the second

Women’s hoops trounce Nebraska jackie hobson Lantern reporter hobson.66@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s basketball team won 10 of its final 12 regular season games, securing the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. OSU (21-9, 13-5) capped that run with a 78-60 win against Nebraska (20-9, 10-8) on Sunday in Lincoln, Neb. Freshman guard Kelsey Mitchell led the Buckeyes with 28 points in the contest to go along with a career-high 10 rebounds. However, the real star of the show could have been sophomore forward Shayla Cooper. Coming off the bench, the 6-foot-2-inch transfer from Georgetown scored 13 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds. The Buckeyes blew the game open with a 15-0 run to close the first half, capitalizing on nine Nebraska turnovers. However, in front of a crowd of 8,418, Nebraska refused to go down easy. The Cornhuskers kept up with the Buckeyes during the beginning of the second half before a lay-in by Mitchell settled the crowd by sparking a 9-0 run that put the Cornhuskers away for good. Mitchell has moved into third place on the OSU single-season scoring list with 736 points so far this season and has helped the Buckeyes gain momentum on a

Freshman guard D’Angelo Russell (0) scored 28 points and senior guard Shannon Scott made 3 late free throws to help the Buckeye overcome a 12-point halftime deficit against Purdue on March 1. half in the win over Purdue, agreed with his younger teammate. “This is the type of win we need to get, especially in the month of March,” Thompson said. “This is a step in the right direction, so we need to have a good day of practice and take care of business on Wednesday.” The Buckeyes defeated the Nittany Lions on Feb. 11 by 20 points at home, but fell in State College, Pa., last season, 65-63, marking Matta’s second loss to Penn State in his career at OSU.

After the one-game road trip, the Buckeyes are set to return home for senior day and take on Wisconsin on Sunday. The Badgers currently sit at No. 5 in the country and have lost just two Big Ten games this season, against Maryland and Rutgers. Russell, who has not yet experienced March Madness, perhaps summarized the Buckeyes’ position in one sentence as he left the postgame podium. “We’re making our strides forward, and there’s no room to go backwards,” he said.

The Ohio State men’s basketball team overcame a 12-point first-half deficit to win its second straight game at the Schottenstein Center. The Buckeyes (21-8, 10-6) fell behind, 35-23, at halftime against Purdue (19-10, 11-5), but outscored the Boilermakers 42-26 in the second half to win 65-61 Sunday night, avenging a 60-58 Feb. 4 loss to Purdue on the road. OSU was led once again by freshman guard D’Angelo Russell, who rebounded from a first half in which he turned the ball over three times to score 17 points in the second half to lead the Buckeyes to the comeback victory. Trailing by one, Russell drove inside and scored with 58.6 seconds remaining to give the Buckeyes the lead for good. OSU coach Thad Matta said he expected Purdue to play Russell differently on the play that ultimately won the game for the Buckeyes. “They didn’t guard it the way we thought they were going to and give (Russell) credit, he was patient, he checked his options and then made the play,” Matta said after the game. “That kind of tells you his basketball intellect.” Senior center Amir Williams rejected a Purdue shot at the rim on the ensuing possession. Senior guard Shannon Scott and redshirt-freshman guard Kam Williams iced the game in the final 13 seconds, combining to make four straight free throws for the Buckeyes. Russell finished with a game-high 28 points, also leading the Buckeyes by pulling down seven rebounds. Although Matta has coached Russell for almost an entire season, he said he was still impressed with the performance the Louisville, Ky., native put together. “Quite honestly, he did some things that I don’t have drills to teach,” Matta said. “A couple of those moves he made were some big time basketball plays. Sometimes he gets on a roll like that and tonight we saw

Men’s hockey sweeps Penn State kaley rentz Lantern reporter rentz.21@osu.edu Freshman forward Nicholas Jones scored his first career goal and senior captain Tanner Fritz extended his point streak to four games as the Ohio State men’s hockey team snagged its first sweep of the season against Penn State. On Friday, the Buckeyes bounced back from a 1-0 deficit early in the first period to beat the Nittany Lions, 5-3, before winning by the same score Saturday at the Schottenstein Center. OSU snagged the back-to-back wins after splitting its previous two series against Michigan and Wisconsin. Ten players tallied points for the Buckeyes on Saturday, including three points from Fritz alone. Sophomore goaltender Christian Frey led the way for the Buckeyes defensively, saving 70 shots in the series. “He’s been pretty good for us, there’s no question,” coach Steve Rohlik said. “He’s steady, he’s comfortable. Right now all we’re asking is that he gives us a chance and he’s certainly giving us a chance every night.” The Arlington, Texas, native credited the defense for his success. “They were doing a lot in front of me,” Frey said. “They are always blocking shots and clearing the shots in front of me.” The defense amplified its intensity throughout the series, limiting Penn State to 27 shots on Saturday. Junior defenseman Sam Jardine said OSU’s newfound intensity is because of the Buckeyes’ playoff mentality. “We’ve been talking about playing desperate playoff hockey,” Jardine said. “And that’s what happens (when) the intensity picks up, the physicality picks up, blocking shots, it’s

Senior forward Tanner Fritz (16) and junior defenseman Sam Jardine (21) combined for 3 goals and 2 assists as OSU swept Penn State with scores of 5-3 on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 at the Schottenstein Center. just a by-product of us wanting it a little bit more.” In addition to ramping up their defending, three defensemen also notched tallies for the Buckeyes with senior Justin Dasilva and Jardine scoring Saturday and sophomore Josh Healey scoring Friday. Even though the Buckeyes were successful this weekend, Fritz said OSU isn’t taking time off, as the team is beginning to prepare for Minnesota this coming weekend. “(The win) just builds confidence going into next weekend, but as coach says, preparation starts Monday,” he said. Rohlik is finally able to see what his team is

capable of producing as the Buckeyes took on Penn State with a healthy roster, he said. “I envisioned what this team was and I don’t think we had the opportunity these last couple months for injury reasons and different things like that,” Rohlik said. “But these guys stayed with it and this is the time to peak. We’re excited and we know we have some huge challenges ahead of us but were just going to take it one step at a time, one game at a time. That’s our attitude.” The Buckeyes are set to return to the Schottenstein Center ice for the last time this season against Minnesota on Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 6 p.m.

OSU took advantage of being in the bonus for the final 10:36 of the second half, making 18-of24 free throws after the break, including 8-of-9 courtesy of Russell and Thompson combined. The Buckeyes got to the line a total of 35 times on the night and made 71 percent, something Matta said was a point of emphasis coming into the game.

Freshman guard D’Angelo Russell (0) scored 17 points in the 2nd half to help the Buckeyes overcome their 12-point halftime deficit against Purdue on March 1 at the Schottenstein Center. “I thought we did a better job of attacking than we did in game one (against Purdue),” Matta said. “Fortunately, we made a decent percentage of them.” The Buckeyes also overcame an offensive and defensive onslaught from Purdue junior center A.J. Hammons, who led the Boilermakers in points (16) and blocks (3). The Buckeyes and Boilermakers combined for 41 personal fouls in the game, four of which were picked up by Amir Williams, who said he felt the game was more physical than usual. “Early on, (the game) kind of got me a little bit, but once I got myself settled, I was pretty good,” he said.

Senior forward Sam Thompson helped OSU make 18-of24 free-throw attempts in the 2nd half.

Despite only registering six points, Amir Williams finished with three blocks, earning praise from his coach. “I thought Amir, with three blocked shots, was as good as he could be,” Matta said. Hammons was also a large reason why Amir Williams and fellow OSU senior center Trey McDonald combined for nine fouls with McDonald fouling out. That sent the Boilermakers into the bonus with 9:15 remaining in the game. Unlike the Buckeyes, Purdue hit just 4-of-9 free throws in the second half. The halftime lead for Purdue was in large part because of a 21-6 run spanning the final 8:25 of the first half in which the

Hoops from 1B four-game win streak to close the regular season. Heading into the matchup, Mitchell was second in the nation with better than 24 points per game this year. Junior guard Ameryst Alston said before the Buckeyes took on Iowa last week that it was a goal for the team to have a high seed in

the Big Ten Tournament so they could sit out the first two rounds. The Buckeyes have achieved that goal with their third seed and will have the chance to watch any possible opponent play before they take the court on Friday. The Big Ten Tournament is scheduled to take place in Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., from Wednesday through Sunday.

Buckeyes committed eight of their 12 turnovers. With the win, OSU moves into a threeway tie with Iowa and Michigan State for the fourth spot in the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes are a combined 0-3 against the Spartans and Hawkeyes this season. The top four teams in the conference earn a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament, scheduled to begin March 11 in Chicago. The Buckeyes are set to hit the road on Wednesday to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in State College, Pa. OSU won the first matchup, 75-55, Feb. 11 in Columbus. Tip is set for 6 p.m.

opinion Are prof-written textbooks worth the cost? USG election offers OSU students

chance to vote on divestment

Textbook costs are a topic of debate among many OSU students.

LEAH MCCLURE For The Lantern mcclure.607@osu.edu Many of us are familiar with that feeling of despair that comes each semester when new textbooks drain our already low bank accounts. The National Association of College Stores estimated the average student spent about $370 on course materials for Fall Semester 2013, which is only a fraction of our financial burden as college students. We rent, borrow and sell back books to soften the blow, but this becomes impossible when classes require textbooks that are created specifically for that course. These professor-built textbooks have to be bought through Ohio State and, unlike noncustomized textbooks, we often can’t rent or sell them back because they frequently change from semester to semester. I’m skeptical of these textbooks, and there’s debate over whether they’re worth the extra expense. Marc Ankerman, senior lecturer at Fisher College of Business, said he believes that they are. His goal as a professor is to provide information for his students that is up-to-date and relevant, and he thinks that crafting a textbook is the best way to do so. “We (Ankerman and other lecturers) select the articles and readings to create a textbook that is custom-designed,” he said. Some of us might suspect that our professors are profiting from the textbooks they put together, however Ankerman said

he doesn’t receive any money from the books he creates for his classes , asserting that his “main goal is to have tools that are helpful for the course.” Joanna Cook, a second-year in business specializing in operations management , said the textbook used in any given class is irrelevant. “My learning experience is based on the professor, not on the textbook,” she said. Cook said instead, professors should keep the textbooks consistent for a few years so they can be sold back to OSU bookstores. Ankerman said he tries to keep the same book for up to a year and a half, but his objective is to present his students with the most current information possible. However, if all professors adopt Ankerman’s attitude of prioritizing their students’ education over making a profit, I think their prices could be driven down. “I can definitely see how these books could be really beneficial. But if my professor is using them to make money, it makes them seem less reliable and I think this distracts from the goals of the class,” Cook said. If students aren’t putting money directly into their instructors’ pockets for coursespecific textbooks, they might have a greater appreciation for the books. After all, a textbook tailored to fit the needs of a class can undoubtedly be a great tool. I might not have the most favorable view of the books, but they serve a purpose. Whether it’s profit or education or something in between, it is up to our professors to decide what that purpose will be.

THE C-SUITE STARTS WITH CHARACTER. MARQUETTE MBA AND MASTER OF LEADERSHIP STUDIES

This Undergraduate Student Government election, undergraduates at Ohio State will have the opportunity to make their voices heard and vote on an issue that has become increasingly important nationwide: divestment for Palestinian justice. On campuses across the country, including Stanford, Depaul, Loyola, Oberlin, UCLA and UC-Davis , among others, students have campaigned successfully for the divestment of university funds from companies enabling human-rights violations against the Palestinian people. Modeled after the successful international divestment movement against Apartheid in South Africa, these campaigns have highlighted the struggles of the Palestinian people and demanded greater transparency and accountability on the part of university administrators. At Ohio State, this movement for Palestinian justice and human rights is led by the #OSUDivest campaign. #OSUDivest is a diverse coalition of students, alumni and community members. We began the campaign in January to raise awareness among the students of our university’s complicity in Israel’s human-rights violations. We have received endorsements from numerous student and community organizations, including : Jewish Voice for Peace of Central Ohio, the Muslim Students’ Association, Committee for Justice in Palestine, SHADES — Buckeye Chapter, African Youth League, the Maynard United Methodist Church and many others. Together, as students and working people, we share a commitment to opposing all forms of discrimination and standing alongside marginalized peoples. Over the past few weeks, we gathered more than 3,000 signatures from fellow undergrads to put an initiative on the USG ballot and give students the chance to vote directly on divestment. The divestment initiative calls upon OSU to withdraw its investments in companies and corporations complicit in the Israeli occupation until they are no longer engaged in the violation of human rights and other unethical practices. One of these corporations is Caterpillar Inc. With all the construction around

campus, it’s common to see Caterpillar equipment . However, the company also sells armor-plated bulldozers to the Israeli military, which it regularly uses to demolish Palestinian homes. In 2003, an Israeli soldier killed a young American activist named Rachel Corrie, who was nonviolently protesting the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home, by crushing her with a Caterpillar bulldozer. The act of home demolition that she was protesting is wellknown by the nearly 2.3 million Palestinians living in the illegally occupied West Bank. There, the Israeli military authority requires that Palestinians obtain a permit to build a home but the Israeli government rarely provides them. Many Palestinian homes are not recognized under law and are subject to demolition without notice. Often, ethnically segregated settlements replace formerly Palestinian neighborhoods. The Israeli Committee Against Home Demolition estimates that the Israeli military demolished 552 houses and businesses in 2014 alone. Caterpillar has provided much of the machinery necessary to inflict this systematic injustice. Other corporations include United Technologies, Boeing and General Electric. These sell weapons, equipment and research technology to the Israeli military and thereby profit from the violence inflicted against the Palestinians — such as last summer’s “Operation Protective Edge,” which killed more than 2,000 Palestinian civilians, including 500 children. Although the injustices that Palestinians face might seem far removed from our campus, we believe the words of Martin Luther King Jr., that an “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” still holds true. We believe it is unacceptable that our university is contributing to the perpetuation of injustice. OSU can and should play a leading role in challenging all forms of bigotry and injustice. This election provides us with the opportunity to express to university administration, and the Palestinians, that the Ohio State University believes in the primacy of human rights and refuses to participate in their violation.
