Study finds trust of the government plays into getting vaccinated MICHAEL HUSON Lantern reporter huson.4@osu.edu Among all the tasks charged to a firstyear student at Ohio State, it was specifically recommended to Travis Long that he do one thing: Get fully vaccinated.

He didn’t.

Long, now a second-year in business administration, said he identifies politically as

This outlook echoes findings of a new study co-authored by Kent Schwirian, professor emeritus in the Ohio State Department of Sociology, which shows a correlation between one’s willingness to get vaccinated and his or her confidence in government.

The study looked at the U.S. public’s willingness to get vaccinated for the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, during the 2009 and 2010 pandemic.

“What we found, in general, was that the Republicans were much less willing to go

an independent, and this decision to not get vaccinated was based on personal research and uneasiness with federal oversight of vaccinations.

“I think anything that is governmentregulated across the country, requiring somebody to get injected with something when we, majority of the time, don’t know what’s in it, poses a lot of problems,” Long said. “My family and I were never fond of government-regulated vaccinations … We didn’t see that as something that we were comfortable with.”

after the vaccine than the Democrats, but that independents were about as willing as Republicans,” Schwirian said.

However, the willingness to get vaccinated did not fall strictly on partisan lines, nor was it fueled simply by party affiliation.

Most Republicans and independents were less likely to get vaccinated, the study said, because of a lack of confidence in government to handle the outbreak, and most Democrats

BUCKING THE TREND Senior Sam Thompson leads young Bucks in win over PSU

RELATED Post-game recap

Twenty-five games into the season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team had relied heavily on its freshmen, in particular its star rookie guard D’Angelo Russell.

But when the No. 23 Buckeyes left the floor after a 75-55 drubbing of Penn State at home, it was a battle-tested senior who had led OSU to victory.

Senior forward Sam Thompson scored a career-high 22 points in the win, and said Wednesday night was the kind of game he has been working toward since arriving in Columbus.

“I’ve worked really hard over the years just on every facet of my offensive game. I really try to become a threat offensively,” Thompson said. “I played a pretty good game today, and just gonna try to keep that rolling.”

Thompson scored in a variety of ways against Penn State, whether it be from behind the arc, or down low.

He joked after the game that despite being a veteran on the team, he is still capable of his famous high-flying dunks.

“I can still jump a little bit,” he said with a smile.

Thompson threw down multiple times against the Nittany Lions, a team that defeated the Buckeyes in both meetings last year.

The senior from Chicago said despite the losses last season, his team was focused on the present heading into the game.

“We weren’t talking about last year as much as we were talking about this year,” Thompson said. “It’s a different team, they’re a different team. We just wanted to come out and play our best basketball. We knew that was a team that could beat us, as evident from last year.”

CFO Geoff Chatas pegged for state affordability task force AMANDA ETCHISON Campus editor etchison.4@osu.edu As the chief financial officer at a university of almost 60,000 students, Geoff Chatas is not far removed from the impact of rising costs of tuition and debt on students. Now, as the chairman of a recently-announced higher education affordability task force, Chatas is tasked with figuring out how to cut some of these costs.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed executive order 2015-01K on Tuesday, creating the Ohio Task Force on Affordability and Efficiency in Higher Education, a group made up of nine members who have been asked to “examine ways for Ohio’s public colleges and universities to hold down costs,” according to a press release from the governor’s office.

In a Tuesday press conference, Kasich announced Chatas’ appointment as chairman of the task force.

“Now you might say, ‘Why would you pick a guy who is already in the middle of the place where there is problems?’ and I don’t mean

necessarily Ohio State, but someone from the university system,” Kasich said. “It is because Ohio State, over the last few years, has embarked on a major program to get to the heart of the cost drivers.”

In the past, OSU has signed a variety of private contracts with companies, including a $32 million renewal agreement spanning 10 years that makes Coca-Cola the university’s exclusive beverage vendor.

OSU also has a $46 million, 11-year contract with Nike, and a 15-year, $125 million contract with Columbus-based Huntington, as well as a 10-year contract with apparel company J. America set to rake in $85 million plus royalties.

In March, OSU entered a 10-year, $17.1 million contract with Nationwide. Later that month, it struck a deal with Indianapolis-based Hat World Inc., doing business as Lids Sports Group, starting another 10-year agreement worth $12.05 million.

Kasich specifically mentioned OSU’s decision to lease its parking to Australian investment firm QIC Global Infrastructure in 2012. This contract

OSU senior vice president and CFO Geoff Chatas conducts an interview with The Lantern on Feb. 4.

Great ideas are always worth spreading, and 13 individuals will share their ideas with a packed Mershon Auditorium this Saturday.

The fourth annual TEDxOhioStateUniversity event will feature speakers from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines whose talks will fit into this year’s theme, The Human Narrative, Stephen Snyder-Hill said Shivang Patel, the curator of TEDxOhioStateUniversity.

“We came up with The Human Narrative because we wanted to have a theme that can encompass a lot of different stories and ideas,” Patel said. “We’re trying to find those stories and ideas that not only make individuals who they are, but also those stories that thread together all of us.”

TEDx conferences are offshoots of the original TED (Technology Entertainment Design) event held annually in Vancouver, British Columbia. It originally started as a conference for the convergence of technology, entertainment and design.

But now, the TEDx program allows people to independently run their own TED event, like the event hosted at Ohio State.

The speakers at OSU will include department chairs, professors and both graduate and undergraduate students, according to its website.

OSU isn’t bananas for Yonanas AUDREY DUVALL Senior Lantern reporter duvall.82@osu.edu Yonanas is gone for good from Ohio State’s campus.

The large machines that made the ice cream-like dessert out of frozen bananas and other fruits were noticeably missing at the start of Spring Semester, and Dave Isaacs, a spokesman for Student Life, said there are no plans for their return. “(Yonanas) was an experiment, a test run, and it didn’t prove popular enough to keep it on the full-time menu,” he said. “We do a lot of that sort of testing of recipes and products. Limited-time offers, which are foods and products.”

Yonanas, which advertises itself on its website as a “healthy dessert maker,” did not prove to be as popular with students as other healthier options offered by OSU Dining Services.

“We found that Yonanas, which was largely served at the Union and the RPAC,

campus TEDx from 1A to talk about video-game violence (and) feminism,” said Stephen Snyder-Hill, a major in the U.S. Army Reserve who will be speaking at the event. “It’s just a neat thing that the audience is going to be exposed to all these different real aspects of life that they won’t be anticipating.”

Preparation for the event began with finding the speakers, and all speakers had to go through an application process run by TEDx. Patel said he and his team looked for ideas that pertained to OSU. After the applicants were screened, they were each brought in for interviews with the TEDx staff, who decided on the 13 speakers for this year’s event, Patel said.

Snyder-Hill, author of the memoir “Soldier of Change: From the Closet to the Forefront of the Gay Rights Movement,” will chronicle his time in the military under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

“There’s just a draw for me to be in the military because everything in America stands for it,” Snyder-Hill said. “It feels so right to be in the military because everything we do is based on the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”

In September 2011, after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Snyder-Hill said he asked then-candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Rick Santorum, through a YouTube video whether he would work against the progress made for LGBT service members.

The audience at the Republican debate then booed Snyder-Hill, leading him to become a vocal advocate for LGBT equality.

“I think what (the TEDx audience) can expect is definitely a really powerful, compelling story that shows if you trust and use the power of your voice, you can literally change the world,” Snyder-Hill said.

Department of Psychology chair Richard Petty, who holds a Ph.D. in social psychology, will speak at the TEDx event about a psychologist’s view of self-confidence.

“After they see what the research shows, what I’d like to do is dissuade people from the idea that confidence is always good, which is probably what most people would always think,” Petty said.

Petty said he studies confidence in detail, looking at where it comes from, why people desire it and what it actually does for people.

Another speaker is Damian Beauchamp, a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry who co-founded Kair Battery/Energy Systems LLC, a Columbus-based business that produces energy efficient potassium air battery energy storage systems. His talk will focus on the use and storage of energy, as he said he hopes the batteries Kair makes can decentralize the generation of energy by making cheaper batteries that can hold three times more energy and are nontoxic.

“Stationary energy storage (like large batteries) is going to completely change the world over the next five years,” Beauchamp said. “There’s mandates going in on all different states that are pushing it and it’s going to be a huge industry.”

A fourth speaker, Marisa McGrath, a fourth-year in international relations and women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said her talk will center on her journey with feminism.

“My talk is coming from personal experience,” McGrath said. “A lot of times feminism is regarded as this negative word, when it means a person who believes in the political, economic and social equality of the sexes, and in my personal case, it saved my life.”

McGrath said she focuses on equity

Some of the 13 keynote speakers scheduled to present at the 4th TEDxOhioStateUniversity on Feb. 14 at Mershon Auditorium. The theme of this year’s event is ‘The Human Narrative.’ between the sexes, emphasizing that all groups should be given equal access to everything.

“The safety … and the sanity I found in feminism validated my own personal narrative, and as I began to analyze things on a systemic level, I began to see the validation in everyone else’s experiences and that they’re inextricably tied together,” McGrath said.

McGrath is one of three undergraduate students speaking at the event, and although she doesn’t have a doctorate, she said she has “a valid story to tell, and (she thinks) that will shine through.”

Other speakers include professors John Beacom, David Ewoldsen, Cheryl London and Andrea Grottoli, senior lecturer

Lisa Cravens-Brown and Department of Psychiatry chair John Campo, according to the TedxOhioStateUniversity website.

Fourth-year undergraduates Mushtaq Dualeh and Emmanuel Dzotsi will also speak, along with Charles Noble III, program manager of the Boys and Men of Color Initiative at the OSU’s Kirwan Institute.

“I’m really excited to see what we can do this year,” Patel said.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets, which are $10 for students and $20 for non-students, are sold out, but people who are interested can watch a live stream on the TedxOhioStateUniversity website.

Ericka Hall, an associate manager at Union Market, said there hasn’t been any negative feedback about Yonanas being gone.

“No student has asked where it has gone,” Hall said.

Yonanas made its OSU debut at Buck-iFrenzy in August. Since then, it was offered at Juice 2 at the RPAC, the Union Market

Yonanas machines were removed at the beginning of Spring Semester because of a lack of popularity.

Vaccinations from 1A

were more likely to get vaccinated because of a greater confidence in government to handle the outbreak.

The study drew from an October 2009 Pew Research Center survey. Controlling for various demographic variables, results showed a clear split: approximately 43 percent of Republicans and independents were willing to be vaccinated, with 63.7 percent of Democrats willing.

“You always have politics in illness,” Schwirian said.

He and his colleague, Gustavo Mesch, an OSU alumnus and professor of sociology and dean of the faculty of social sciences at Israel’s University of Haifa, began research in 2009, at the onset of the outbreak, Schwirian said.

“With all these ailment problems that go around, all this disease, there are always political and sociological aspects to them,” he said. “When this broke out, it was a very natural thing for us to study.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the 2009-10 H1N1 pandemic consisted of approximately 60.8 million cases, resulting in about 12,270 deaths in the U.S. from April 2009 to March 2010, according to the CDC website.

Vincent Hayden, executive director of the College Democrats and a fourth-year in political science, said that he thinks the conclusion of the study makes sense.

“The Democrats I talk to are disappointed in government because it doesn’t go far enough,” Hayden said. “The government is good. It’s a force of good in people’s lives … Be skeptical, but also open to ideas proposed by the government or scientific figures.”

Zachary Pohl, chairman of the College Republicans and a fourth-year in logistics management, said he felt the study’s findings were sensible as well, but didn’t directly apply to him.

“I wasn’t vaccinated, but it wasn’t because I didn’t believe in the government’s ability to make a vaccine — I just didn’t do it,” Pohl said of the H1N1 vaccination.

Schwirian said a segment of the population deciding not to participate in any vaccination programs raises a major

public-health issue, and that it shows, to some extent, in a current measles outbreak.

“This becomes a real problem because for some of these diseases, you can’t get them under control unless you get very high participation,” he said. “Measles is one of the most infectious of all diseases.”

There have been 121 measles cases reported from Jan. 1 to Feb. 6, spanning 17 states and Washington, D.C., with 103 cases being linked to the current measles outbreak, according to the CDC website, last updated Monday, as well as 644 cases reported in 2014 in 27 states.

Pohl said he attended public school, and like many of his schoolmates, he was vaccinated for measles at an early age.

He added that one day he would likely want his own children to get vaccinated for the disease.

“I believe that one of government’s main roles is maintaining the welfare of its citizens and society, so therefore I believe that government does play a role in vaccinations because they lessen the impact or the chances of disease or viral outbreaks like H1N1 or measles,” Pohl said.

Long said he received several vaccinations when he was younger, but that he and his family “were not knowledgeable of the contents, and our decision (to stop vaccinating) was solidified when we did our own personal research.”

Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said a vaccination campaign is promoted throughout the year by Student Health Services and vaccinations are available at the Wilce Student Health Center.

“The health of all members of the Buckeye community is important to the university,” Isaacs said. “We believe that a well immunized population is the most effective deterrent to the spread of a number of diseases.

“Vaccines work with the body’s natural defenses to safely develop immunity to disease and to reduce your chances of getting certain diseases and suffering from their complications.”

OSU recommends students receive 10 vaccinations, including the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, according to the Student Health Services website. Recommendations are in accordance with the CDC and the American College Health Association guidelines.

Chatas from 1A involved a 50-year lease on the university’s parking assets for the price of $483 million.

“One of (the efforts to lower costs) started with the selling of the parking garages at Ohio State,” the governor said. “As Geoff effectively points out, a parking garage never really educated a student... Geoff is very well aware of the cost drivers that are involved here.”

Kasich said the task force will be asked to find costs within higher education that can be lessened or, in some cases, eliminated. Some areas of interest include making a more efficient use of space, eliminating low-enrollment courses and increasing use of technology.

The task force will be made up of five members who will be appointed by Kasich and two members who will be named by each chamber of the Ohio Legislature. This grouping will allow university leaders to discuss and work together to help make higher education affordable for students, Chatas said in an emailed statement.

“I’m honored that Gov. Kasich asked me to be part of this task force, and I’m thrilled to be part of this dialogue across the state,” he said. “I look forward to working with other college and university leaders to find innovative ways of supporting teaching, learning and research. By working together on affordability, we can make a real difference for students.”

In a Tuesday press release, OSU President Michael Drake said he approves of Kasich’s choice of Chatas as task force chair.

“I appreciate and value Gov. Kasich’s leadership that challenges universities and colleges to do more with less,” he said. “Geoff Chatas has positioned Ohio State as a national leader in maximizing our resources and adopting innovative funding strategies, and he will be an outstanding leader of this effort.”

The task force will be asked to issue a report based on its findings by Oct. 1.

opinion We might be scared, but we stand together after Chapel Hill shooting Sarah Mikati Lantern reporter mikati.2@osu.edu “Today, I wrap my hijab a little tighter,” said Jana Al-Akhras, a first-year law student at Ohio State, while reciting a poem at a candlelight vigil in honor of three Muslim students at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, who were killed earlier this week.

The students were fatally shot, allegedly by a neighbor, in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Tuesday.

The front of the Ohio Union was illuminated by candlelight Wednesday night, as about 100 OSU students, faculty and community members honored 23-year-old Deah Barakat, his wife, 21-year-old Yusor Abu-Salha, and her sister, 19-year-old Razan Abu-Salha.

But the candlelight illuminated more than the front of the building. It shone on faces filled with pain, covered with tears, expressing the frustration, anger and confusion of almost each person standing in the cold.

Growing up as a Muslim in the post-9/11 world is not easy. Especially when the post-9/11 world is all you remember.

“I was angry,” said Mushtaq Dualeh, a fourth-year in public health development studies. “Our entire lives, we have been dealing with discrimination and hatred. I didn’t do anything, you didn’t do anything, they didn’t do anything, but they are still victims.”

Whether you look Muslim or not, growing up in a world that consistently makes you feel guilty for belonging to a beautiful religion that very few people twist in order to achieve their evil missions is not easy.

“I shed a tear for every Muslim who had to apologize, for every misguided soul who made a choice in the name of my religion,” Al-Akhras said. “For the media that reported it and neglected to draw a distinction, for those who believed them and looked at me strangely that day.”

As everyone stood in a circle, and people walked to the middle, one by one, to hold up a megaphone and express their emotions, something hit me as I looked at the pool of sad faces in front of me.

We have been bottling it up for years.

We have been bottling up that emotion, pain, frustration, stress. And the shock of Tuesday night’s traumatic event hit us all and cracked the bottle open. We were all a mess of shattered glass.

For the first time, none of us felt safe.

Or, at least, we confronted that reality for the first time.

“We resonate with those people because they’re just like us,” Dualeh said.

“They’re Muslim, they’re students, they’re dreamers, they’re thinkers.”

It could have been us.

Yet even in the frigid Ohio winter, there was a warmth amongst the crowd of Muslims, Jews, whites, blacks and browns.

Because in that moment, we weren’t all from our own little group of similar colors and faiths.

In that moment, we were all American, and we were all human.

As we stood and supported each other, as tears streamed down our faces, as our hearts swelled with pain, empathy and compassion, I still felt a warmth. Because I wasn’t alone. None of us were alone.

Extremists can slay and contort the beauty of Islam. The media can fail to shed light on the truth about my religion, and fail to educate their audience enough to realize that religion is not the root of all evil.

People can discriminate, hate and fear.

Sarah Mikati / Lantern reporter

A woman holds a candle at a vigil to honor three UNC-Chapel Hill students who were fatally shot Feb. 10. The vigil was held Feb. 11 at the Ohio Union.

At the end of the day, there are more than 1.6 billion Muslims in this world. And if the majority of us did not follow Islam as the pure, peaceful and loving religion it truly is, the world wouldn’t be the way it is today.

But more importantly, at the end of the day, we are not alone. We will face the manipulation, hate and fear together. We will bear the burden together, and we will stand strong, along with the billions of other loving, understanding and educated people in this world.

Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him, once said, “You do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness.”

I urge everyone to keep this in mind as they continue the walk of life, and drive out hate with love.

Shakespeare educates children about war OLIVIA HAMILTON Lantern reporter hamilton.889@osu.edu After rallying his men on St. Crispin’s Day, King Henry V’s army slaughtered thousands of Frenchmen in a decisive victory in the Hundred Years’ War. Stripped of its violence but not its themes, Ohio State is using that tale 600 years later to win over young Columbus audiences to Elizabethan theater.

Kevin McClatchy, assistant professor in the Department of Theatre, has adapted Shakespeare’s play “Henry V” for the Shakespeare School Tour, a annual tour of the bard’s play OSU around Central Ohio. The play, which is usually about three hours long, depicts both the glory and heartbreak of war.

The Shakespeare School Tour aims to make Shakespeare accessible to people of all ages.

This is McClatchy’s first time with the tour, which has previously performed plays such as “As You Like It” and “The Tempest.”

The adaptation of “Henry V” will be performed at the Lincoln Theatre at 769 E. Long St. this weekend. It will also be performed for Columbus City Schools every Tuesday and Thursday until the end of the semester.

To adapt the play to a new audience, McClatchy had to cut it down to only 70 minutes, a process he said was challenging.

“Once I decided how I wanted it, then I was able to go through and cut all the things. Once I did that, I felt pretty good about it, but then I had to cut another 20 pages. I had really cut things that I wanted to leave in the play,” McClatchy said.

The challenge of condensing a Shakespeare play was just one of a few that he had to overcome.

“There’s certain things that we had ideas about that we just tempered for the young audience. To make it more accessible, I hope,” McClatchy said. “There are certain adult themes, there’s violence, and we talk about violence and the bad things that happen in war, but we didn’t include the more graphic descriptions.”

Trenton Rowland, a fourth-year in theatre, auditioned in October and got the lead role of Henry V. “Cutting it down works in its favor, it’s pretty fast moving. It kind of jerks you around every way, it takes you in and spits you out 70 minutes later,” Rowland said.

McClatchy said there are two main questions

Long road led OSU alum to acclaim as architect ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu Following his graduation from Ohio State, David Williams moved to southern California to do two things: surf and build resorts. Neither went exactly as planned.

Williams imagined a surf scene that featured big waves and warm weather, an impression he got from watching ABC’s “Wide World of Sports.”

“When I got to southern California, that’s not what it was about at all.

Most of it was getting up at 5:30 in the morning, freezing your butt off, and surfing 10 days to get one really good day,” he said.

Today, though, he’s executive vice president of architecture for Caruso Affiliated, a real estate development firm in Los Angeles, and views his surfing experience as an analogy to professional life as an architect: “It’s the same thing in any career you go into, but reality is different than imagination.”

The reality of working in architecture in California was certainly different from what Williams originally imagined. A firm he worked for designing country clubs and resorts faced economic challenges, causing it to branch out into retail design, said Williams.

The company’s work in both retail and resorts drew the attention of Rick Caruso, a former lawyer who had a vision of marrying retail with resort amenities. Caruso and Williams began working together to develop shopping centers that brought a sense of place to their communities.

Two of Williams’ designs, The Grove in Los Angeles and The Americana at Brand in Glendale, Calif., now rank in Shopping Center Today’s list of top 15 shopping centers in the world, based on sales per foot.

Switching from resort to retail design was not the first time Williams found himself on a different path than planned. He enrolled in OSU, a plan he had since he was 7 years old, with intentions of becoming a doctor.

After an internship with a physical therapy department, he decided he was better suited elsewhere. An aptitude test highlighted a childhood passion for building, and he changed his major to architecture.

OSU group pushes to make video game a club sport ROBERT SCARPINITO Lantern reporter scarpinito.1@osu.edu

After graduating from OSU, David Williams went to California to be an architect and surf.

At first, the program did not live up to his expectations.

“There was an old-school way of doing things, very rigorous, and it wasn’t as much about your thought process as it was your ability to perform the tasks,” Williams said.

However, that changed when Robert Livesey took over in 1983.

“I would not be in architecture if he had not taken over the program,” Williams said. “He

“We don’t build town centers; we build the center of town.

- David Williams

brought this whole new energy to the place. It became more about what your thinking was and not whether your linework was perfect.”

Livesey, a professor and the section head at the OSU Knowlton School of Architecture, said he is proud of what Williams has accomplished and cited him as an example of what he wanted the program to embody.

“My goals were to make the best architecture program in the country, to be sure that the school was part of the contemporary discourse in architecture, and to give the students the knowledge

to succeed in the profession and the confidence to apply it,” Livesey said.

Williams came to OSU this week to present lectures on the future of retail design and how design drives retail, an experience he found both foreign and rewarding.

“This is a very special occurrence for me,” he said. “But it’s one of my life’s goals to come back to Ohio State and be able to bring something back with me that I’ve accomplished.”

Students attending the events said they appreciated Williams’ ability to make his accomplishments relatable. “I was impressed by how he personalized and connected everything by relating to you,” said Rachel DiMauro, a third-year in fashion and retail studies.

Williams said its a focus on community history that has separated Caruso Affiliated shopping centers apart, Williams said.

“We were creating these experiences that were rooted in history, that we researched, that we celebrated,” Williams said. “It’s really about creating an opportunity for people to go do something that they were starved to do, that nobody else had created.”

Williams said the company has a saying for both its upcoming and finished projects.

“We don’t build town centers; we build the center of town.”

When people think of club sports, physically intensive activities like basketball, swimming and baseball typically come to mind, but one group on campus is trying to broaden that definition.

“League of Legends” is a free-toplay online game that pits two teams of five players against each other.

According to figures released last year by Riot Games, the creator of “League of Legends,” more than 27 million people log into the game every day.

The E-Sports Initiative at Ohio State, which organizes video game tournaments, has formed its own team for “League of Legends,” and its members want to work toward making the game a club sport, though many outside the group wouldn’t consider it a sport at all.

The OSU team is composed of six players, including one substitute, who have a coach, a manager and multiple analysts who all help them improve their performance in the game.

Because of the nature of the game and its players, any number of strategies can be used at any given time, and situations can change just as quickly as they can in more physical sports like football.

“It is not on the same physical level (as sports), but strategically, it is,” Colin O’Brien, team manager and second-year in information systems, said.

“The computer can do a lot of things the body can’t, so it breaks some of the bounds of knowing your body’s limits,” said Albert Maah, co-head of the “League of Legends” department of the E-Sports Initiative.

Robert Morris University, a smaller school in Illinois with less than 3,000 undergrads, was the first school to offer scholarships to “League” players and consider it an official varsity sport, and other schools, such as the University of

Pikeville in Kentucky, have followed suit.

“If OSU joins, then all these little schools will have validation,” Maah said. “A lot of people know about OSU, so if they look up OSU and see (we) have ‘League of Legends’ as a club sport, that’s huge.”

Acting team coach Kentaro Ogawa, a third-year in food business management, said there’s a need for organizational structure in the group before attempting to make it a club sport to promote the success and longevity of the group.

“If we can get everything organized and it continues and somehow becomes a club sport, that would just be a change of labeling,” Ogawa said.

The OSU team is set to compete in multiple collegiate tournaments, the first one being a North American Collegiate Championship playoffs qualifier tournament hosted by the Texas e-Sports Association (TeSPA), which is set to run from Saturday to Feb. 22.

Ogawa said beyond practicing through scrimmages through other collegiate teams, the team will talk about deeper strategies and practice as a group leading up to the first game of the tournament this Saturday.

But it’s not all games.

“The problem is I have three midterms next week, too, so we have other things to do,” said Richard Flagg, a player and a thirdyear in electrical and computer engineering. “All of us probably play the game on our own in our free time anyway, so we can practice that way, too.”

The OSU team will also compete in another NACC playoffs qualifier tournament in March hosted by WellPlayed Productions, another e-Sports organization, if it doesn’t end up qualifying through the TeSPA tournament.

“We’re already feared in football, so we just have to position that into (these tournaments),” Richland said.

Storytelling ingrained into all areas of TEDxOSU speaker’s life Ogonna Ononye Lantern reporter ononye.5@osu.edu Nigerian novelist and orator Chimamanda Adichie once expressed to an audience at a TED talk in 2009 her ideas on the power of storytelling. She spoke about the danger that one has when exposed to only a single story, and left her audience with this notion: “When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.”

In this year’s fourth annual TEDxOhioStateUniversity event, students and faculty will perform on a similar platform to that of Adichie’s, speaking on this year’s theme of The Human Narrative.

Emmanuel Dzotsi, a fourth-year in political science and strategic communication, is one of these featured speakers who plans to share his own ideas on the importance of storytelling.

“I’m half-Ghanaian and half-Dominican,” Dzotsi said. “I come from a background where, both in Africa and in the Caribbean, storytelling is extremely important.”

Although Dzotsi calls Ohio his home now, his mixed British accent hints at his time spent living in England and Belgium as a child. He credited his cultural upbringing as a foundation for his desire to share stories.

“Storytellers in these different traditions are actually some of the most revered people in their communities,” he said. “As a child, I was always told these stories and I think that it’s something — whether it be in stories like films or through art or through music — these things are extremely important, not just in terms of decreasing stress, but communicating with each other about our dreams, our inspirations, our hopes, our fears.”

Dzotsi’s passion for storytelling allowed him the opportunity to create a film titled “Steal Away,” which premiered at the Gateway Film Center in November.

The film tells the story of a janitor who falls in love with a thief and the implications that follow that relationship.

“I was always intrigued by this notion of ‘the other,’ of that person who had stolen something from you,” Dzotsi said of the inspiration behind his film. “I thought, what if you knew the person that had stolen from you? What if you became friends with them eventually, or what if you even dated them?”

Ogonna Ononye / Lantern reporter

Emmanuel Dzotsi, fourth-year in political science and strategic communication, works on developing film ideas with members of his brainchild Petrichor, a student-run production company and multimedia website for the arts, Feb. 9 in Denney Hall.

Dzotsi will explore this very topic during his speech on Saturday.

Director of content for this year’s TEDxOSU, Laveena Sehgal, a fourth-year in neuroscience, said Dzotsi’s passion is a main factor in him being a student speaker at this year’s event.

“How many undergraduates make their own film, you know?” Sehgal said. “He told a really compelling story about how his life experiences had shaped his desire to share this narrative at TEDx.” Shivang Patel, the event’s curator and a third-year in neuroscience, agreed with Sehgal.

“You don’t see many students making actual films,” Patel said. “It’s sometimes hard to find students who want to talk about all the cool stuff they are doing.”

Patel said Emmanuel’s story directly

>> 128 pages in 8 1/2 x 11 portrait format

correlated to the “human narrative” platform at TEDxOSU. “We’re trying to cover ideas and stories and performances that capture the human spirit and this thread of a collective story that binds us all together. Emmanuel’s idea was definitely something unique that fit in well,” Patel said.

In addition to filmmaking, Dzotsi also uses his creative talents as a mellophone player for the OSU marching band.

Dzotsi is also the finance director for the Collegiate Council on World Affairs, a contributor to the student-run political science publication, The Algerian, and facilitator of the Petrichor, a production company and multimedia website for the arts currently in its infancy.

“In all of my endeavors, I’ve always been fascinated by the element of

performance and by the element of telling some sort of story,” Dzotsi said. “In my experiences at Ohio State, whether it be putting on fantastic halftime shows with the band or advocating on behalf on students with USG like I did my first two years here, it’s something that I’ve always enjoyed.”

Sehgal gave advice to those hoping to follow in Dzotsi’s footsteps and share their own ideas on a platform like TEDx. “Be authentically yourself,” Seghal said. “What’s your idea that’s worth spreading? What’s the impact you want to leave with the Buckeye community and a global audience and why? What shapes that desire? This is what we want to know.

We all have a story to tell.”

Senior Boo Timko and the OSU men’s golf team are set to swing the 2015 season into action Feb. 14 and 15 at the Big Ten Match Play Championships in Palm Coast, Fla.

Golf from 12A playing well earlier in the year, it helps us to gain momentum as we head later into spring season and the conference championships.”

Darr said he feels the facility has helped to bring his team closer.

“I think the biggest thing I like about the facility is there is enough space so that everyone can work on their game at the same time,” Darr said. “The facility helps with the overall camaraderie and togetherness that you need for a team sport.”

Engle said he and his fellow teammates have developed a firm bond that resembles brotherhood.

“We’re all really close in a group. We didn’t have anyone graduate last year so we’ve all spent two years together,” Engle said. “We’re like best friends off the course, which is awesome, because then

Senior Boo Timko, a Girard, Ohio, native, said he feels privileged to represent and play for his home-state school.

“Not only in athletics, but in every part of the university, they always strive for excellence,” Timko said. “Every varsity team here, they do everything they can to make sure that they’re the best or one of the best in the country. I think it’s just really cool to be a part of a community that really just strives to do anything they can to be the best and to create the culture of excellence.”

Darr said the golf program has great things in store for the future.

“I’m really excited about the direction we’re headed in,” Darr said.

The Buckeyes are set to travel to Palm Coast, Fla., for the two-day tournament.

wrestling room, and teammate and threetime National Champion Logan Stieber said Snyder has what it takes to be great.

“He gets better every week, you can see him learning and improving on what he needs to every day,” Stieber said. “I always say he is the most mature person on the team.”

Snyder is ranked third in the country at 197 pounds and is the only freshman to be recognized in the top 19.

As the Big Ten Championships draw near (March 7-8), Snyder is the No. 1 seed with eight other conference opponents behind him ranked in the top 16 in the country. Snyder said there is no doubt that having the tournament at OSU will help.

“Being at home is definitely going to help me. Competing at St. John Arena versus somewhere else and being able to sleep in your own bed and cutting weight in your normal routine and having the fans we have and your family here helps how you feel and how you go out and compete,” Snyder said.

said he is eager to get on the mat with the best in country.

“I’m super excited about how many ranked guys are in the Big Ten,” he said. “I knew when I committed to Ohio State that I wanted to wrestle the best guys and the Big Ten tournament is sort of like a mini-NCAA tournament.”

Snyder leads the Buckeyes with 12 major decisions and is tied for the second-most wins (22). Because of his spot in the lineup, Snyder has had chances to clinch dual-meet victories for the team by earning the final needed points, and coach Tom Ryan said he hasn’t been disappointed.

“We are happy for him and he is well deserving, but we have almost come to expect it with him,” Ryan said. “He’s focused on the big picture in this sport, his thinking is more, ‘I love this,’ and his thinking is so much higher than individual awards. It’s like running over a pebble in your car, you don’t even know you hit it.”

The OSU men’s lacrosse team played its first two games in the repaired STX helmets without any further incidents, and the OSU Department of Athletics maintains that the safety of players is its No. 1 priority.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to return to the field Sunday to take on the Delaware Blue Hens. Opening faceoff is set for noon at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

sports Buckeye catchers ‘focused on every pitch’ LEXUS ROBINSON Lantern reporter robinson.1444@osu.edu As a catcher, you have to be able to handle every curveball thrown your way. Sometimes, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

“You’re focused on every pitch. It’s easy to zone out for a minute and rest your mind,” Ohio State senior catcher Connor Sabanosh said. “Sometimes innings get long and drag out, but you have to find a way to stay focused.”

This year however, two of OSU’s catchers have much more to deal with on their home plates.

Seniors Aaron Gretz and Sabanosh were selected by their teammates at the end of last season to take on the role of captains for the 2015 season. The two men left their hometowns of Apple Valley, Minn., and Cave Creek, Ariz., to attend OSU and play for the team.

Sabanosh transferred to OSU as a junior after coach Greg Beals visited him while he was attending Scottsdale Community College in Arizona. After meeting Beals, Sabanosh flew to Columbus to check out the campus and meet the team.

“I had a great time. The campus and the facilities were awesome. The coaching staff and teammates made it exciting to want to come here and be a part of a great tradition,” Sabanosh said.

Sabanosh said his time at SCC contributed to his growth as a baseball player, but he has also grown since joining the Buckeyes.

“The facilities, the equipment, the training, the weightlifting, the nutrition. There’s so much they help you with here,” he said. “It really makes being an athlete more fun and helps me really progress as a player.”

Gretz came to Columbus as a freshman and said he knew once he stepped foot on campus that committing to OSU was the right decision for him. He also said he has learned more about himself through baseball, especially by being named a captain.

“It’s a great honor to be named a co-captain. I don’t take the position lightly. I’m ready for it,” Gretz said. “It’s an honor to be named one of the leaders of these great group of guys.

It’s something special.”

Bucks from 1A OSU coach Thad Matta said Thompson was one of the main reasons the Buckeyes were able to win their fifth game in six appearances.

“That was big for us. I was so happy to see the ball go in for Sam,” Matta said after the win.

“He puts a lot of time in and we have kind of been saying, ‘if we can get him making some shots, I think it makes us a lot more effective.’

His ability in transition — everybody fears he’s running to the rim — being able to step out and knock down the shot definitely helps open things up for us.”

Senior catchers Connor Sabanosh (left) and Aaron Gretz were named the Buckeyes’ team captains ahead of the 2015 season. OSU is set to begin its spring schedule against George Mason, St. Louis and Pittsburgh at the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., from Feb. 13-15.

The team is set to travel to Port Charlotte, Fla., to start its season playing in the Snowbird Classic. It’s scheduled to face George Mason on Friday, St. Louis on Saturday and Pittsburgh on Sunday. The captains set one main goal for their time in Florida.

“Our first week in Florida, we want to go 3-0. We want to make a statement right away and win all three games,” Gretz said. “I think we should win all three games no question.”

Thompson did more than just play well on offense, he also drew the task of defending the Big Ten’s leading scorer, Penn State senior guard D.J. Newbill.

While Newbill still led the Nittany Lions in scoring with 16 points, he shot just 5-of-13 from the field and pulled down just three rebounds.

Matta said Thompson’s defense was just as important as his offense, especially when matched up with the Penn State star.

Thompson, however, credited the Buckeyes as a whole for shutting Newbill down. “(We had to) make him work. No open

The players are enthusiastic to get back out onto the field, and couldn’t be more excited to start the season in the Sunshine State, Sabanosh said.

“Getting down there and getting some live games in and getting the season underway, playing in the sunshine, some warm weather, get some wins hopefully and get the season started on the right foot and build from there,” he said. “We are excited to just be outside again and start playing some baseball.”

looks, try to keep him off the foul line. Make sure when he had the ball he saw five Ohio State defenders,” Thompson said. “We did a good job of doing that across the board.”

Newbill’s coach, Pat Chambers, also recognized Thompson’s elevated play and added that he thought last year’s wins over OSU might have had something to do with his performance.

“I thought Sam Thompson was terrific, and that’s what seniors do,” Chambers said.

“He was on that team last year and I’m sure he had a little extra ‘oomph’ to play against us.”

Moving forward, Thompson said it will take more than just himself or Russell to continue the winning ways.

“We know that the season is coming down to an end. We know it’s time for the players to play,” he said. “Seniors gotta step up, younger guys have to keep doing what they’re doing and we’ll be fine.”

The Buckeyes will attempt to win their sixth game in seven tries as they are set to travel to East Lansing, Mich., to take on the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Tip-off is set for noon.

Men’s hoops tops Penn State by 20 JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu Last season, when the Ohio State men’s basketball team took on the Penn State Nittany Lions in Columbus, it took the Buckeyes just 19 seconds to score their first points of the game.

Wednesday night wasn’t any different: Senior guard Shannon Scott opened the scoring with 19:41 showing on the first-half clock.

The outcome was different, however.

It took the visiting Nittany Lions exactly seven minutes to get on the board as No. 23 OSU (19-6, 8-4) avenged last year’s 71-70 home loss to Penn State (15-10, 3-9) with a 75-55 victory at the Schottenstein Center.

After that first basket, the Buckeyes built a 12-0 lead early in Wednesday night’s matchup against Penn State and didn’t look back.

OSU coach Thad Matta said after the game that despite losing to the Nittany Lions twice last year, he didn’t need to remind the Buckeyes of what happened.

“They knew that. They knew that we had been swept last year,” Matta said. “We know we have to go back over there in a few weeks and play again.”

Bucking the recent trend of freshmen leading the team, senior forward Sam Thompson scored 13 points in the first half, and Scott led OSU with rebounds (six) and assists (four) at the break.

Thompson’s 22 total points were a game- and career-high for the Chicago native. He said that until the post-game press conference, he didn’t realize he had broken his own personal record, and credited the team’s consistency on the offensive end.

“We just played well. We executed. D, (freshman guard D’Angelo Russell) like he always does, draws a lot of attention, got me a lot of open shots, got me a lot of stuff in transition,” Thompson said. “We just had it going tonight offensively.”

SAMANTHA HOLLINGSHEAD / Lantern photographer

Senior guard Shannon Scott (3) tallied 10 rebounds and 6 assists while freshman guard D’Angelo Russell added 17 points and 7 assists against Penn State.

With 7:35 left in the first half, Thompson had 11 points for the Buckeyes, while no other OSU player had more than two.

But the freshmen on the Buckeye roster weren’t exactly shut down.

By halftime, Russell accumulated 11 points as OSU took a 37-23 lead into the locker room.

Russell, who recorded OSU’s fourth tripledouble in school history on Sunday against Rutgers, finished with 17 points despite shooting just 4-of-13 from the field.

The Louisville, Ky., native dished out a game-high seven assists while the rest of the Buckeye freshmen combined for 23 points.

Russell said after the game that despite his poor shooting night, he believes he can still be a dangerous player any time he takes the floor.

“I give a little bit of credit to myself. I feel like I can do whatever it takes. If it’s me passing, scoring, rebounding, whatever I gotta do,” Russell said. “Those stats show up, and I get a lot of attention, but I give a lot of credit to my teammates … The stats that don’t show on the screen, like deflections and diving on the floor. It just makes it easier for me.”

Russell’s teammates, aside from walk-on senior forward Jake Lorbach, all

scored at least four points to take some of the weight off the freshman’s shoulders.

Thompson said the Buckeyes have the ability to be more effective when more players contribute than just Russell. “(We can be) much more dangerous.

We know what D’Angelo is gonna do,” Thompson said. “We are just that much better when other guys are playing well. It’s just something that we gotta keep doing, something I gotta keep doing.”

MOLLY TAVOLETTI Lantern reporter tavoletti.1@osu.edu When a player for the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team took a shot to the head during practice on Jan. 29, part of his helmet shattered.

A photo of the player wearing the broken STX Stallion 500 helmet surfaced on Monday, and OSU released a statement Tuesday saying the shot that fractured the helmet came “at close range from high speeds” and the player wearing it did not sustain debilitating injuries.

“The involved student-athlete was immediately examined by the medical staff for injuries and was able to continue practicing and competing without any interruption,” the statement said.

The statement did not identify the player involved.

STX stepped in right away for OSU, according to the statement.

“Following the incident, STX, the helmet supplier, immediately replaced the outer shell of all of the team’s helmets and there have been no issues during practices or competitions,” Instagram post by @betterlaxbureau it said.

Freshman Snyder sets sights on championships PATRICK KALISTA Lantern reporter kalista.4@osu.edu Kyle Snyder is in his first season in the collegiate ranks, but he already has his sights set on the top.

“Any time I have a chance to wrestle somebody who has the goal of being a national champion, it’s good for me and it allows me to prove that this is my year to win it,” the Ohio State freshman said.

Snyder was named the USA Wrestling Athlete of the Week on Tuesday after defeating the sixth-ranked 197 pounder and two-time All-American Scott Schiller of Minnesota, 3-1.

“It was a surprise. The award wasn’t something I was looking to receive, but being able to beat a quality opponent and to be recognized for it is something to be excited about,” Snyder said.

The Woodbine, Md., native was unbeaten in his first three seasons at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School and was named the ASICS High School Wrestler of the Year as a junior. He posted a 179-0 career record before deciding to amp up his training and spend his time among professionals.

Snyder said he has carried that work ethic all season at OSU and isn’t looking to slow down now that the championship season is taking over.

“We’re still wrestling pretty hard every day, a lot of live minutes and a lot of hard sparring,” Snyder said. “We are doing shorter, but more intense live sessions and everything is geared up to making sure you feel like a superhero when you step out on the mat in March.”

Thursday February 12, 2015

Snyder (22-2) spent his final year of high school away from home to work on his craft as a resident-athlete at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., something his high school coach Skylar Saar thinks worked well for him.

“I think Kyle is having a great season so far and he is adjusting well back to folkstyle wrestling after spending his senior year wrestling freestyle,” Saar said in an email. “Kyle has defeated some top-ranked opponents and doesn’t seem to be too affected by the … rigors of college wrestling.

“He has been wrestling with adults for the past year so he is used to the physicality. I think he has a very good chance to win both the Big 10’s and NCAA’s. I know he believes he will and I know he has the skill and mental toughness to do so.”

With the Olympics being the ultimate goal, Snyder has already built quite the resume. In 2013, Snyder won a Junior World Title for the U.S. in freestyle and also brought home a bronze medal at the Junior Worlds in 2014.

Saar said he has always seen Kyle as a standout wrestler and isn’t surprised with his success at the college level.

“I have known Kyle since he was in elementary school and he was a very special talent even at a young age,” Saar said. “He was a leader from the day he stepped in our room so it did not surprise me that he was voted a team captain at Ohio State as a true freshman.”
