Some campus Wi-Fi spots getting upgrade About 1,900 total; to cost more than $100K AMANDA ETCHISON Campus editor etchison.4@osu.edu Waiting for endless video buffering and slow file downloads could be a thing of the past after Ohio State’s Office of the Chief Information Officer upgrades more than 1,900 wireless network access points on campus. OSU’s wireless network currently has more than 9,000 access points, according to an OCIO press release. Of those, 1,925 are scheduled to be upgraded by the end of this semester, said Katharine Keune, spokeswoman for the OCIO. An access point is a piece of technological infrastructure that allows wireless devices like laptops, tablets and phones to connect to a wireless network via Wi-Fi, said Ryan Holland, senior network engineer for the OCIO. The access points are usually attached to the ceiling or walls of a room, he said. Upgrading each access point costs approximately $550, Keune said. She added that the money for the project came from the “current budget and funding reserved for this project within the OCIO.” It takes approximately 10 minutes to upgrade an access point, Holland said. However, he added, because there are multiple access points in many buildings, Wi-Fi users will most likely be routed to a different access point while the others are being upgraded. “There are multiple access points and they will keep servicing the area,” he said. “So if we pull one down, that one will no longer be functioning, but there are remaining ones in place.” OSU began installing access points as a

Planning can help alleviate scheduling stresses BREE WILLIAMS Lantern reporter williams.4998@osu.edu Graduating on time will be on T.J. Cifuentes’ mind when he schedules his classes for Fall Semester. “I’m most worried about making sure I’m getting all of the classes I need in order to stay on track to graduate on time,” Cifuentes, a first-year in business, said. With scheduling for Fall Semester beginning the week students return from spring break, many first-year students can be overwhelmed with all of the options of classes to take, said Amy Treboni, director of University Exploration, a program designed to “assist incoming and current Ohio State students who are undecided on their major,” according to its website. “Many first-year students are taking general education requirements and there are so many options for each category,” Treboni said in an email. “I recommend selecting a few different options per category in case the first-choice class fills up.” Treboni added that she thinks students

champion Logan Stieber becomes 4th wrestler to win 4 National Championships patrick kalista Lantern reporter kalista.4@osu.edu

ach year, 330 wrestlers compete for a National Championship. Since 1929, when national championships were officially first handed out, only three had won four individual titles. That number rose to four on Saturday when Ohio State redshirt-senior Logan Stieber accomplished the feat for himself. But even after inking his name in the history books, Stieber’s time on the mat isn’t over. The celebration won’t last long as the Monroeville, Ohio, native sets his sights on the World Team and, ultimately, the 2016 Olympics. “I’ll be able to take a week and a half off, and let my body rest and start lifting again and I’ll get three weeks of hard freestyle training in and be ready for the U.S. Open,” Stieber said. His title puts him alongside Cael Sanderson (Iowa State, 1999-2002), Kyle Dake (Cornell, 2010-13) and Pat Smith (Oklahoma State, 1990-1992, 1994) in the elite group of wrestlers to win four NCAA titles. Stieber accumulated a 119-3 record as a Buckeye, and he became the first OSU wrestler to tally four Big Ten individual crowns as well. Logan’s father, Jeff, said he was happy to see his son’s hard work pay off in his last tournament at OSU. “I’m extremely proud and happy for him,” he said. “To see all the hard work he’s put in

Young adults at highest risk for suicide

Ohio State researchers encourage better university resources, access after study MICHAEL HUSON Lantern reporter huson.4@osu.edu He couldn’t talk. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t cry. Jacob Bruner, an OSU graduate, could only bury his head under his pillow and ask himself, “Why did this happen?” His mother had just told him that his hero, his older brother, had committed suicide. “There are questions that go unanswered to this day,” said Bruner, who graduated with a degree in political science in 2013. “And that’s why I think suicide is so rough: You don’t really have any closure on why someone did it.” Many families like Bruner’s ask the same questions about suicide. Young adults age 20 to 24 are the highest risk group for suicide among youths, said Cynthia Fontanella, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral health at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center and

lead author of a new study focusing on youth suicide rates. The study, published in March in JAMA Pediatrics, found that the youth suicide rate in rural areas was nearly double that of urban areas from 1996 to 2010, and that the rural-urban suicide rate disparity could be widening. Researchers offered several possible explanations for high rural suicide rates, including access to firearms, geographical and social isolation and access barriers to mental health services in rural areas. Fontanella said the researchers identified three possible approaches to improving access to services in rural areas: integration of mental health care within physical health care, improvements in telemedicine, and school-based intervention and prevention training. “There’s an urgent need to improve access availability and acceptability of services in rural areas,” she said.

OSU picks Zagster to roll out new bike-sharing program MICHAEL COLIN Lantern reporter mikecolin13@gmail.com

OSU and USG’s upcoming bike-sharing partnership with Zagster plans to add 115 bikes and 15 bike stations around campus.

A partnership between Ohio State and Massachusetts-based bike-sharing company Zagster is set to make zipping around campus on two (and sometimes three) wheels a transportation option for students and faculty as early as this fall. The university announced its decision to partner with Zagster on Thursday. This decision comes after an examination of bids from five different bike-sharing

companies, which included NextBike, Social Bicycles, the Gotcha Group, Motivate, which operates the CoGo bike-sharing program in downtown Columbus, and Zagster. OSU announced its intention to create a bike-sharing program, a joint initiative between the university and Undergraduate Student Government, in January, and was in the final stage of decision-making in early March. Although OSU will partner with Zagster, the exact terms of the contract

campus Star House aims to provide help to homeless youth Drop-in center founded by Ohio State professor sees about 60 people daily ALAINA BARTEL Lantern reporter bartel.21@osu.edu Many people have a moment that changes their life. For Natasha Slesnick, that moment was meeting a homeless youth. From then on, she knew what her life was going to be dedicated to. “I was appalled,” Slesnick said. “I could not believe that we are one of the richest countries in the world, yet we have kids living on the streets who are hungry, who are scared, who are attacked, who are trading sex for a place to sleep or food or money, and I couldn’t tolerate this continuing to happen without doing something about it.” Slesnick, a professor in Ohio State’s Department of Human Sciences, previously lived in Albuquerque, N.M., where she worked with homeless youth and created her first drop-in center, a place where homeless children and young adults can drop in and fulfill their basic needs. She moved to Columbus in 2004 to continue working with homeless youth and noticed that there were no drop-in centers in Columbus for youth on the street to feel safe, which led to her founding Star House in 2006. The name “Star” stands for services, training, advocacy and research, Slesnick said. Star House, which is located at 1621 N. Fourth St. and is open to individuals between the ages of 14 and 24, began as a research project Slesnick was working on to reintegrate youth into society. She would recruit homeless children and young adults to come to the house to help with research, but realized that they weren’t coming back. “Because we weren’t a drop-in center, they wouldn’t return to work with their therapists and the counselors. So, we opened the house as a drop-in center to be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in October 2006. It was when we did that that we were able to build relationships with the kids and start to build up trust,” Slesnick said. Slesnick said she began to think about how victimized the youth must feel at night, and decided it was important for the house to be available 24/7.

After funding from the state of Ohio budget was approved for Star House in June 2013, the house was able to stay open 24/7 and also hired a therapist. Previously, when the house was open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., its budget was $150,000 a year, and that basically just allowed its doors to remain open. With the funding, the house was approved for $665,000 a year for two years, Slesnick said. The house also receives funding from the Ohio Attorney General’s office, and grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, she said. In addition to having a therapist, the house also provides services such as food, showers, hygiene items a telephone to make and receive calls, case management, job training and education, physical and mental health, and dental health. They can obtain their state IDs, and the youth can even use the house as their mailing address, said Denitza Bantchevska, director of the Star House. Jeana Patterson, the program coordinator at the house, said that the drop-in center does not have any beds, because it is not a shelter. Instead, the people who work at the house will connect children and young adults who desire a shelter to the services they need. Bantchevska said there are many levels on which they want to help these children, from engagement in the community to providing a space where they can feel safe and accepted. “They are usually kids that are disconnected from the system. Many of them live in homeless camps, they couch surf with friends, they pick abandoned buildings, or a combination of the above,” Bantchevska said. “Typically, they do not receive any services, and they are disconnected from the system. Our goal is to connect them by building trust, and a relationship with them based on trust, and connecting them to services.” Bantcheveska said youth homelessness is hard to see in Columbus, and the population is extremely marginalized. She said she thinks there are between 1,200 to 1,500 homeless youth in Central Ohio. The house served 724 children in 2014, and currently they see about 60 children per day, she

Star House, located at 1621 N. Fourth St., was founded by Natasha Slesnick in 2006 to act as a drop-in center for homeless youth in Columbus to feel safe and have basic needs met.

“Youth homelessness is almost invisible. We barely see it on the streets (because) many of these young people mingle among the students or other young people in the community.” - Denitza Bantchevska Director of Star House added. “There are many people in the community in Columbus who have no awareness of the existence of this problem,” Bantchevska said. “Youth homelessness is almost invisible. We barely see it on the streets (because) many of these young people mingle among the students or other young people in the community.” Although the house sees mostly children from around Columbus, they are working to become a statewide center and eventually a national center, Slesnick said in a follow-up email. “To my knowledge, we would be the only research-based center focused on youth homelessness in the country. And, we are currently the only research-based drop-in center in the country,” she said. “We are more than a drop-in center because we conduct research and also advocate and seek to change policy, and that’s what the move to a (statewide) house will solidify. That’s the goal, anyway.”

Slesnick said her favorite part about being involved with the homeless youth is trying to find a way to end their homeless life on the streets. “By hosting interventions, I feel like I am getting one step closer to figuring out how we can really help these kids. So many times, people base policy decisions and funding decisions on interventions that don’t have any evidence base, and I feel like we really need to figure out what really works with these kids rather than keep doing things that don’t work,” she said. “What makes me really excited is really making progress towards figuring out what’s going to work to end homelessness.” Although these children might be different in some ways, Slesnick said she believes that they yearn to have normal lives. “They’re just kids,” she said. “They’re kids who want to be loved and want to have a chance to have a life like the rest of us have. Hopefully, people will be so moved as I was to come and do something about it.”

Wi-Fi from 1A part of its University Wireless Project, which took place in 2006, Holland said. The project started with approximately 297 wireless hotspots in more than 108 campus locations, according to an OCIO blog post from January 2006. Now, however, Holland said Wi-Fi use has increased, which requires many of the older access points to be upgraded. “Wi-Fi is no longer a service, it is literally a requirement,” he said. “It is no longer just people having laptops in class, they all have their phone in their pocket and half of them are bringing their tablets. So as people bring all of these devices, they are all trying to use the Wi-Fi simultaneously.” Holland said the university has recorded a maximum of 48,000 devices being simultaneously used on the wireless network at one given time, but noted that more devices can be logged in to the network throughout the day. “We might see 100,000 unique devices throughout the day,” he said. The OCIO plans to finish a campus-wide installation of upgraded access points by the end of the semester, and has already upgraded approximately 1,800 access points, Holland said. He added that the OCIO expects most of the project to be complete by the beginning of April. “We are hoping to get 98 percent of it all done in the next two weeks,” Holland said. Individual departments and colleges are generally responsible for upgrading the access points, Holland said. The OCIO is working with departments and colleges that will be directly affected by the remaining upgrades, he added. Kyle Hoyer, a fourth-year in health sciences,

Scheduling from 1A also struggle putting together their “schedule puzzle,” which is picking out all the classes they want to take and then putting them together to make all the dates and times work. Treboni recommends using Schedule Planner, which students can access on their Student Center, to help with this problem. “Schedule Planner helps a student plug in all the specific classes they are considering, enter time for breaks when they cannot, or do not, want to be in class, and come up with their various scheduling options,” Treboni said. Lorrin Van Evra, a second-year in nonprofit management, said she uses Schedule Planner when scheduling her classes. “I really like using Schedule Planner because it gives you so many options to see what the ideal schedule is for you, and you can see all your class options at once,” Van Evra said. Along with Schedule Planner, Treboni also suggested scheduling an appointment with an adviser before scheduling classes. “Appointment slots can book up several weeks in advance, so students should call two to three weeks before they wish to get

said he has been generally pleased with the Wi-Fi at OSU. “At first, when I went to Miami (University) freshman year, the Wi-Fi here was 10 times better,” he said. “I feel like it has definitely improved over the last few years.” Although he has seen improvements, Hoyer said he still notices issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on certain parts of campus and with specific devices like his cellphone. “OSUwireless, especially on the medical campus, is always hard (to connect to),” he said. “I know at the beginning, when I transferred here, I had to go to the Buckeye Bar at Thompson because for some reason I could not stay connected (to the Wi-Fi), so I had to keep reconnecting.” Hoyer said he thinks the upgrades will help the university’s wireless network keep up with changing technology. “I think it is really smart that they are doing (the upgrades) because of all of the technological innovations. It is going to be hard to keep up because of all of the technology,” he said. “I think it is a really good idea (to update the access points).” Holland said he hopes that the upgrades to access points will enhance Wi-Fi users’ digital experience, for both recreational and educational purposes. “We will all have a better experience because it won’t take as long to load videos, (and) it won’t take as long to upload files to Carmen,” he said. “By adding more bandwidth, (Wi-Fi users) are going to be able to have more devices connected and (they) are going to be having a better experience while on the wireless network because (they) will have faster speed.”

in to schedule with an adviser,” Treboni said. “Some offices offer walk-ins during scheduling and others have same day appointments, so students can check with their advising office to see what is available.” Cifuentes said he had already been planning to meet with his adviser before his scheduling appointment opens. “My adviser knows about the classes and they can help me pick what I would enjoy and what I need,” Cifuentes said. Degree Audit Reports are also helpful in determining what classes students need to take, Treboni said. “For students who are in majors or pre-majors, a Degree Audit Report is an electronic checklist of the requirements for their program and the progress they have made so far,” Treboni said. Treboni recommended students not rely solely on what other students have taken to determine their own schedule. “If students are in different programs, or start majors in different years, the requirements may not be the same, so it’s important to double check and ensure that the courses will work for them,” Treboni said.

Suicide from 1A

Friday, April 17

campus Bike-sharing from 1A are not set in stone and are under negotiation, according to a release. “They have said that we can have any kind of accessible bike we want,” said Jennifer Evans-Cowley, the vice provost for capital planning and regional campuses. “Based on the specific model of bicycle that we choose, then that may influence the price.” Zagster is set to provide a variety of bicycles for use by the OSU community. They include commuter, tandem, handle cycle, electric assist, heavy duty and three-wheeled cargo bicycles, which can be used to transport heavier loads, according to the release. The system will launch with 115 bikes and 15 stations. Evans-Cowley said the program is expected to grow to 170 bikes in three years. However, the price and style of the bikes are not the only things still on the table. Evans-Cowley said there are still negotiations concerning the price students and faculty would have to pay in order to use the bikes. “You can either sign up for a day pass or you can sign up for an annual membership,” she said. “The preferred price by students based on a survey we did was $35 for the annual membership.” She added that the price is only OSU’s recommendation and has not yet been finalized by Zagster. The price of the day pass has also not been finalized, however, the CoGo system charges $6 a day. Evans-Cowley also said OSU will pay for the first three years of the bike-sharing program, which will include purchasing the bikes and their stations. During these three years, money generated through membership fees and one-day passes will build up, and money will be used starting in the fourth year to ensure “a sustainable bike-sharing system on an ongoing basis,” Evans-Cowley said. This three-year investment was set up in order to keep the membership cost as low as possible, she added. Tim Ericson, CEO and co-founder of Zagster, said his company and the university will continue to discuss and plan a program that fits with OSU’s campus.

Stieber from 1A pay off is amazing. Winning a team title was one of Logan’s biggest goals and he was able to get his fourth along with it. You couldn’t ask for a better ending.” The four-time Ohio state champion at Monroeville High School finished the year 29-0, marking his second undefeated season, and leading OSU to its first team title in school history. He won the NCAA Most Dominant Wrestler and the NWCA Most Outstanding Wrestler awards along the way. As much individual success as Stieber has had, he continued to give credit to those around him and said he wants to do everything in his power to help them achieve their goals. “It means so much,” Stieber said of the team title. “It’s just hard to put into words. It’s something we’ve wanted so bad. Our coaches, they’ve been sick. They’re so anxious, so nervous, they want to win so bad. Everyone wants to win so

“We basically have to negotiate everything,” he said. “Price and how it’s going to be set up for the students, timeline and insurance requirements, so there’s a lot of stuff that goes into this and we expect it to take a little bit of time.” Although the total cost of the first three years has not been decided yet, comparable projects at other universities have cost up to $650,000. The Clean Energy Coalition Michigan, which operates the ArborBike bike-sharing program at the University of Michigan and in downtown Ann Arbor, has a system that now operates with 45 bikes and six stations. It is scheduled to grow to 125 bikes and 14 stations for summer, Heather Croteau, project associate at the Clean Energy Coalition Michigan, said earlier this month. The ArborBike project cost $650,000 for installment, and has an operating budget of $200,000 per year, Croteau said. An annual pass costs $65, which includes an unlimited number of hour-long free rides, according to the ArborBike website. OSU students will be able to sign up online or on an app and enter their payment information, which will include BuckID. To use a bike, the rider types the bike number into the app and receives a code that is punched into a lockbox on the bike. The box then gives access to a key so the rider can unlock the actual bike. Ericson said he thinks his company will fit well on OSU’s campus. “We felt that based on our experience at other universities like Duke and Princeton and Yale that our solution really fit what they were looking for,” he said. Ericson added that one of Zagster’s most important features is its flexibility. He said although the initial launch will only include bikes on OSU’s campus, the company will track where students use bikes the most and adjust their station locations to better accommodate students. Abby Waidelich, a third-year in math education who currently serves as senior director of public relations for USG, was involved with the project from the beginning and agreed that Zagster’s flexibility and ability to cater its services to the specific needs of the university was a major factor in OSU’s decision. “They really sold us with their ability to work with

bad. I’m happy to be a part of this team.” His coach, Tom Ryan, said he wanted to see Stieber leave the program the right way and that he has put this team in the right direction. “To think that this little kid from a small farm town in Monroeville, Ohio, did what he did, is pretty awesome, pretty amazing,” Ryan said. “I’m so happy for him and his family, and they believed early on in the process of us getting to the point we are. And now he can pass the torch to the other guys.” Stieber said people think he’s putting on a front when asked about the pressure that surrounds him, but he continues to block out all nervousness and is never affected. “This has been so much fun,” Stieber said. ”I haven’t been nervous at all. I was nervous for Kyle Snyder, I was nervous for Nathan Tomasello. In my match, if I have an inch of nervousness, I push it out right away. And this is fun. It’s like wrestling

Waidelich said a USG ad hoc committee was involved in the decision-making process from the beginning. “The university and administrators have really valued our voice and opinions,” she said. In addition to the bike-sharing program, OSU will also receive a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation that will provide the university with funding for helmets and a bicycle education program for First Year Experience students, Evans-Cowley said. “We want to make sure that every student on campus is safe and has access to a helmet,” she said. The grant will allow any student that signs up for Zagster to receive his or her own bicycle helmet, Evans-Cowley said. All of the money from the ODOT grant is being used on the helmets and education program and will not be put toward the Zagster contract, she added. The bike-sharing initiative could launch as soon as this summer with full implementation by Fall Semester, pending negotiations between the university and Zagster, according to the university press release.

Cody Carrel (left), Steve Pileski, Ryan Conley and Joey Teale formed Pace of Glaciers in December and are set to play their first show March 28 at Donato’s Basement.

Slow pace of rural life led band’s members to music HANNAH HERNER For The Lantern herner.12@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. Pace of Glaciers is really a “wannabe band,” its members said. They’re still five days out from their first gig: a Saturday show at Donato’s Basement on High Street. They’ve also only had about three months to refine their sound,

described on their website as “dark-indie written for night drives through small towns.” It’s a concept inspired by their backgrounds — all come from small towns in Central Ohio. “When I was really little, I used to be into skateboarding, and we moved (to Johnstown) and there’s no concrete, all gravel roads. So I had to find something else to do,” said guitarist Ryan Conley, who picked up the guitar at 12 years old. Singer and guitarist Joey Teale began playing various instruments when he was 8 years old, practicing in a barn in Centerburg, Ohio. “I grew up in a town with a population of 2,000, and my graduating class was 85 people,” he said. “My high school was surrounded, three

sides of it, by cornfields and the other side was a golf course.” Teale and Conley met when they were 14, playing in bands that would often cross paths. They reunited again in October to form a two-piece. In December, they decided to add vocalist and bassist Steve Pileski, a first-year in marine biology at Columbus State, originally from New Albany, Ohio. Pileski and Conley previously played in a band that had dissolved, so the timing was right for Pace of Glaciers, Conley said. Pileski’s addition led to the recruitment of his high school acquaintance, drummer Cody Carrel. When Carrel was in middle school, he moved to Galena, Ohio, after living in a series of shelter

homes. “People would dress up like hillbillies when they came to play us (in football games) and stuff,” Carrel said. Like his fellow band members, Carrel said he came to music because the lack of activities in rural areas. “In my middle school, kids would start tapping their pencils and make beats. So I started doing it and became like, the best at it,” he said. Carrel’s time was divided between music and sports until an injury caused him to shift his focus. “I actually played rugby for Ohio State and the

Drummer tours Europe, Japan after leaving OSU JUDY WON Lantern reporter won.69@osu.edu When Katie Cole attended the Lima branch of Ohio State a couple years ago, she planned on majoring in business and minoring in music. Now, at 22, music is her business as Cole travels the world drumming in her metalcore band Dangerkids. But it wasn’t that easy. When she first started her collegiate career, Cole already felt the pressure of being a full-time student on top of being a musician. Cole found herself in a cycle of playing shows, rushing back to campus to study and take exams, then leaving the next day to more shows. After only attending school for half a year, she took a break from academics “When I stopped going, I was really disappointed in myself and my family was hard on me,” Cole said. Cole then turned all of her time and attention onto the band she was in at the time, called This Love. Prior to This Love, Cole was in another band from the Canton area. She would spend six hours driving back and forth from Canton to Lima just for practice. During that time in her life, she said she found herself depressed from working at a fast food restaurant and living in a typical, run-down college apartment. She said the only thing that brought her happiness was performing with her band on the weekend. Eventually, bassist Jake Bonham asked Cole to join Dangerkids in Toledo in 2012. Cole said the shorter commute was a definite plus to joining the band . Afterward, rapper and singer Tyler Smyth and screamer and singer Andy Bane worked together to create Dangerkids, which recently added guitarist Alex Asch before they were set to go on tour for the summer. Coincidentally, Bonham shot a music video for Asch’s former band Cinema Sleep back in 2012 and the two are now in the same band playing next to each other every night. “It’s definitely crazy that (Bonham and

I) used to work on things in separate situations and now we are in the same band,” said Asch. “But everything works like it should and I feel (that) if you put good energy into the world, you receive it back.” Looking back, Cole said she was glad that she left college when she did but doesn’t regret going. Right now in her life, she finds herself too busy to take up classes, but said that she would “definitely love to take classes again.”

Cole has been drumming for nearly half of her life. While a lot of her friends growing up were taking guitar lessons, she said she thought that being a drummer would help her chances in being in a band. After her mother asked if she wanted to take up any instrument, she decided on the drums and she’s been in love with it ever since. For Cole, drumming is both her love and her job. “Everyone’s been super supportive (of

me). If anyone does say anything (negative), it’s usually before we play a show,” Cole said. “I’m truly grateful to be in a band with such an awesome person and musician,” Asch said. “Katie is truly amazing at what she does and as a human being, definitely one of a kind.” Although Cole might not have the best

Dangerkids from 5A view of the crowd from her drum set, hearing the fans singing along to every song is very motivational and touching, she said. She also encourages crowdsurfing . In mid-February, Dangerkids came back to the U.S. after touring Europe for about a month with headliner Crown the Empire, alongside Set It Off and Alive Like Me. Cole found the tour to be a success, with a majority of the shows selling out. While the band loved being able to sightsee throughout Europe and saw various iconic national treasures such as Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower, Cole’s favorite touring destinations have been New Orleans and Japan. The band took off soon after forming and was signed to Rise Records. When the band first started out, it toured through New Orleans as support for We Came As Romans in 2013 after only being together for a year. “We played there once and I heard (that) a lot of bands don’t go through NOLA so the kids get really excited when we play there,” Cole said. “The next time we went there, (the fan base) has just grown so much and it’s really cool.” In Japan, Dangerkids played two headliner shows, which they rarely do, especially in another country. They noticed that the fans barely spoke English, yet sang along to all the lyrics in their songs. “It’s insane that they hear about you in another country; it’s very humbling and very sweet,” Cole said. When the band is done performing at shows, they enjoy hanging out with their fans as much as possible. Sometimes during those meetings, they hear very personal and intense stories about how the band’s lyrics have helped many people through hard times. Smyth and Bane are the lyricists of the band and take what the fans say to heart. “(Conversations with our fans are) heavily influenced by our lyrical content, or how we’ve helped them through some times of hardship, which is great,” Smyth said in an interview with absolutepunk. net. “I’d say a lot of people are interested in the way our music has impacted them.” As of now, the band is in the process of putting out a second album, which is expected to be released this summer. They want to put out the best work possible, so they’ve put off touring until their album has been released. “I have never been more proud to be a part of something in my life,” Asch said. “The new record is definitely a pinnacle to date for all of us. I’m (mostly) excited for it to be released so everyone can hear it.” Dangerkids is set to play at the Rock on the Range hard rock festival May 15-17 in the Mapfre Stadium, formerly Columbus Crew Stadium, alongside over 50 other bands including headliners Slipknot, Judas Priest and Linkin Park.

DANIKA STAHL Lantern reporter stahl.145@osu.edu Ten years ago, The Basement — nestled in the concrete streets of the Arena District, across from the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion — opened its doors for the first time. “I still know the date — it was February 5, 2005,” said Britton Dove, The Basement’s general manager. “They had a free show with a local band called Watershed, who were great, by the way.” In a space Dove said he believes used to be a storage room for the state penitentiary, worn leather couches line the walls and the occasional graffiti is accompanied by tape masking holes where concert-goers have left their marks in the past decade. Marissa Luther, the marketing director of PromoWest Live, which owns the venue, said The Basement

has provided a space for many young artists to get their start. The Basement’s website said the venue “provides a stepping-stone for bands on the rise looking to graduate to the levels of the Newport and then to The LC Pavilion.” The venue has seen also seen artists like Walk the Moon and Imagine Dragons. To celebrate 10 years of new beginnings, The Basement is hosting 10 artists in an anniversary concert series throughout 2015. The first concert in the series will be on March 24 with the band LIEUTENANT, which features Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters Since its opening , Dove said some couches have been updated, the stage has been expanded and an actual green room for artists has been created in place of the original curtain divider. Luther said the original striped walls have been painted black. Both Dove and Luther said they hope to see more growth and recognition of The Basement in the future.

“We would like elevate it to a level where it is on some of the Columbus ‘best of’ lists because of the history and the different acts that we’ve had there in the past and that we continue to get there on a national level,” Luther said. Dove said he stumbled across an interview with the Virginmarys, a band from the United Kingdom, where the band members said The Basement was one of their favorite places in the world to play. “And they’ve played everywhere,” Dove said. “I’d like The Basement to become that kind of place for every band that comes through.” Despite the changes of the past 10 years, Dove said The Basement remains an intimate venue where it is possible to get up close with developing artists. “In a place like the Newport, the LC, the artists can kind of hide from the fans if they so choose,” Dove said. “The Basement is raw and emotional. You’re right there in it.”

] Pace of Glaciers from 5A second practice I tore my Achilles and sprained my ankle for like the tenth time and was like, ‘I am done playing rugby and getting hit in the head and stuff,’” he said. When Carrel was asked to join Pace of Glaciers last fall, he was living in the Acacia fraternity house at Ohio University, despite not being enrolled in the university or a part of the fraternity, because his friend was the social chair. Carrel was playing in a ‘90s cover band at the time and jumped at the chance to play with Teale, Conley and Pileski, whom he had made acquaintances with in high school through mutual friends. “The last time I played was at Halloweekend at OU. I played that, and the next day I packed my stuff and haven’t been back,” he said.

The four of them decided to change their name from Lom Peor to Pace of Glaciers, a phrase that stuck out to Teale from Alan Lightman’s book “Einstein’s Dreams,” which is a fictional collection of dreams Einstein had about worlds with different conceptions of time. Their sound, with elements of shoegaze-a genre known for riffs, feedback and distortion-- is new for all of the members, but especially to Conley, who used to play eightstring guitar in a death metal band. “This is mellow for me,” he said. “Honestly I feel like it helped this band a lot because with metal there’s really no rules, you can just go with grooves and rhythms. That band made me realize that I didn’t have to do stuff a certain way. It made me open my horizons.” The best explanation for the genre of

music they have gravitated toward: “When we play, it’s the sound that comes out,” Carrel said. In December, Pace of Glaciers released an EP titled “The St. Clair EP,” named after the street they live on, and the subsequently named house they live and produce their music in. The cover of their single, “Champagne,” features the Columbus skyline, symbolic of the city that inspires their music. “I think us coming from places where we’re used to going outside and seeing trees everywhere and fields and places to walk around, to a city where there isn’t that, it’s inspiring,” Teale said. “You long to be back in the forests and fields and near open spaces. It’s almost mentally claustrophobic to be in the city, but it’s still awesome being close to everything.”

The band plans to release a music video and another EP in April, with a full album to follow in the winter. This summer, it plans to play shows in various cities around the country. “This is my hobby and I want to travel with it and do things with it, not necessarily because we want to be famous or be a huge band or get rich or something,” Teale said. They consider their first show at Donato’s Basement to be a dry run for those shows. “For our first show, we’re not trying to go up on stage and just play our instruments because that would be really boring considering how chill our music is. So we’re going to have some lights and things to look at,” Teale said. Tickets are $8 and the show starts at 7 p.m.

opinion Obama’s administration working to make college more affordable Letter to the editor: In an economy increasingly built on innovation, the most important skill you can sell is your knowledge. That’s why higher education is, more than ever, the surest ticket to the middle class. But just when it’s never been more important, it’s also never been more expensive. The average undergrad who borrows to pay for college ends up graduating with about $28,000 in student loan debt. That’s why my administration has worked hard to make college more affordable. We expanded tax credits and Pell Grants, enacted the largest reforms to the student loan program in history and fought to keep interest rates on student loans low. We’ve acted to let millions of graduates cap loan payments at 10 percent of their incomes, so they don’t have to choose between paying the rent and paying back their debt. I’ve sent Congress my plan to bring the cost of community college down to zero

because two years of higher education should be as free and universal as high school is today. I recently unveiled another way that we can help more Americans afford college. It doesn’t involve any new spending or bureaucracy. It’s a simple declaration of values — a Student Aid Bill of Rights. It says: Every student deserves access to a quality, affordable education. Every student should be able to access the resources to pay for college. Every borrower has the right to an affordable repayment plan. And every borrower has the right to quality customer service, reliable information and fair treatment, even if they struggle to repay their loans. That’s it. Just a few simple principles. But there’s a lot that colleges, lenders and the people you send to Washington can and should do to live up to them. Consider the other actions I took two weeks ago. We’re creating a way for borrowers to ask questions about their loans or file a complaint

“Michelle and I ... didn’t come from families of means, but we knew that if we worked hard, we’d have a shot at a great education.” and get a fast response. We’re going to require businesses that service loans to provide clear information about how much students owe and their options for repaying it, and help them get back in good standing if they’re falling behind, with reasonable fees on a reasonable timeline. We’re also going to take a hard look at whether we need new laws to strengthen protections for all borrowers, wherever their loans come from. If you believe in a Student Aid Bill of Rights that will help more Americans pay for a quality education, I’m asking you to visit WhiteHouse. gov/CollegeOpportunity. Sign your name to this declaration. Tell your families, friends and fellow students. I’m going to ask Members of

Congress, and lenders, and as many business leaders as I can find. Because making sure that students aren’t saddled with debt before they even get started in life is in all our interests. This issue is personal to me. My grandfather had a chance to go to college because this country decided that veterans returning from World War II should be able to afford it. My mother was able to raise two kids by herself in part because she got grants that helped pay for her education. And Michelle and I are where we are today because of scholarships and student loans. We didn’t come from families of means, but we knew that if we worked hard, we’d have a shot at a great education. That’s what this country gave us. In America, a higher education cannot be a privilege reserved only for the few. It has to be available to everyone who’s willing to work for it. President Barack Obama youth@who.eop.gov

India should be seen for its beauty, not as a rape capital MELISSA PRAX For The Lantern prax.1@osu.edu “Be careful you don’t get raped in India.” Before I left for my trip to India this December, I heard comments like this, and others that echoed the same sentiment. People at the grocery store, in my classes and friends back home told me I was brave for traveling to Southeast Asia alone. At the same time, I had been bubbling since the moment I booked my ticket for seven cities in 20 days. I wanted to tell people, but I was taken aback each time people who hadn’t been to India were suddenly experts on India’s rape culture. I was finally going to get to see the colors, smell the spices, bargain with street vendors and go to a friend’s wedding. Some of my international student friends from India had helped carefully craft a plan for my trip and narrow down a list of cities I had made from looking on Pinterest and Lonely Planet, a traveling site. I wasn’t oblivious to a scary list of New Delhi rapes that included foreign journalists and Jyoti Singh, the subject of a recent BBC documentary. I just couldn’t give up on the country of curries I had wanted to visit for nearly a decade. I traveled all but one south Indian cities. Yes,

I was stared at, but mainly in cities where there are few international tourists. As a Caucasian woman, I was stared at because of my different appearance, no differently than if a Sikh wearing a turban were to go to a predominantly white small town in Ohio. I saw India’s beauty: Its quiet, decorated temples at sunrise, thousands of entrepreneurs in every city and vast rivers and oceans, meeting India’s banks and shores. Earlier this month, the BBC released a controversial documentary about the late Jyoti Singh, who was brutally raped on a bus in New Delhi in 2012. Her rapists are on death row in India, except for Ram Singh, who died March 2013, and a juvenile who is finishing a three-year sentence. The BBC interviewed one of the convicted gang rapists along with various politicians, Jyoti Singh’s parents and the rapists’ parents. The film was banned in India and taken down countless times on YouTube. I was curious to watch not only because of some of the hype, but because of the access the BBC’s Leslee Udwin acquired. I watched the film closely after hunting down a copy and instantly felt raw. Honestly, I cried for most of it. The India I had come to love and had seen firsthand was compromised. I wasn’t naive to

I was naive to how naive the rapists were. I would never dream of defending them, but I don’t think they wanted to kill Jyoti Singh. I think they thought they deserved to have her, but that they could have their messed up fun and get off easy. They were uneducated and didn’t seem to know how badly what they did would hurt her. In the documentary interview with convicted rapist Mukesh Singh, he did not show remorse. First, he said that he was driving the bus during the entire incident and did not take turns in part

of the rape. Even after list of the injuries J. Singh sustained was read aloud, he didn’t flinch. Rape seemed not to affect him. To him, it seemingly was just a part of society. I do think India’s rape culture is a problem, but I also think rape is a problem across the globe and should not define an entire country. In the U.S., one in five women reported having been raped, according to a 2012 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention factsheet. India is a magical country. I wish people would see it as the vast gem it is, rather than classifying it as a rape capital.

sports Backcourt duo carries OSU to tournament success JACKIE HOBSON Lantern reporter hobson.66@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s basketball team has an NCAA Tournament win under its belt, and perhaps the two best guards in the nation. At least that’s what junior Ameryst Alston and freshman Kelsey Mitchell are in the eyes of coach Kevin McGuff. “With (Kelsey) and Am at the one and two, in my opinion, we have the best backcourt in the country,” McGuff said before the Buckeyes played James Madison on Saturday. The duo, who combined for 51 points in OSU’s 90-80 take down of the Dukes in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Chapel Hill, N.C., were both still in high school the last time OSU played on this stage in 2012. Alston and Mitchell led a Buckeye team of just eight active roster members, none of whom had played on the biggest stage of college basketball before. But that all changed when the Buckeyes picked up their first tournament win since 2011. At the start of the season, an NCAA Tournament appearance was not necessarily the first thing on the Buckeyes’ mind. Rather, it was to work as hard as they could and to see where it would lead them, Mitchell said. “Coming into the season, it was never a thought that I had,” Mitchell said. “But I knew our team would work as hard as they could and anything would be possible.” OSU enters the tournament’s second round having won 13 of its last 16 games after starting the season 11-7. “We have come so far,” junior guard Cait Craft said. “Looking back at how we played then compared to how we play now makes it so exciting and very encouraging.” Like Craft, Alston said she agrees that this team continues to improve and has potential for a bright future ahead. “I always thought we had a great chance at it,” Alston said. “Like (Cait) said, we spent a while trying to find ourselves. Even at this point, I still think we’re getting better and better. When

We know that every team is a great team, so we need to take it one step at a time.” No matter the team or the circumstance, McGuff said he believes his team will be ready to play at the highest level possible.

Junior guard Ameryst Alston tallied 28 points in OSU’s 90-80 win against JMU in the NCAA Tournament 1st round on Saturday. “I feel good about how we are playing,” McGuff said. “The biggest thing is how you are playing this time of year. I have a lot of confidence in our players and how we are playing.” OSU is set to take the floor against the Tar Heels at 6:30 p.m.

Hockey season comes to an end vs Minnesota KALEY RENTZ Lantern reporter rentz.21@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s hockey team arrived at the Big Ten Tournament confident and motivated. The Buckeyes (14-19-3, 8-11-1) turned that into a 3-1 win against Penn State in the Big Ten quarterfinals, but couldn’t make it pass the semis. OSU’s confidence and motivation wasn’t quite enough, as the Buckeyes lost to No. 13 Minnesota, 3-0, to end their season Friday evening. Even though the Buckeyes didn’t make the championship game, coach Steve Rohlik

had a positive outlook on the losing season. While he said he was proud of the team as a whole, Rohlik stressed the importance of the Buckeyes’ upperclassmen. “I’m even prouder of our eight seniors,” he said. “What they’ve done for our program, they’ve sent this program in the right direction. So, obviously I thank them.” Senior assistant captain forward Matt Johnson said even though the end result was disappointing, he was proud of his teammates’ desire to end the season confident and unified. “We really found our identity and started to roll with it,” Johnson said. “Going off of last year, we were very confident, just like this year, we beat every team in the conference. There was nobody we didn’t think we could beat.”

Moving forward, the Buckeyes will be without eight seniors, who have seen the program transition from the hiring of a new head coach and a change of conference to the Big Ten from the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. “It’s really an incredible group,” Rohlik said. “They’re the ones that have been a big part of where this culture is and where it’s going. Their leadership pulled us along over the last couple months. They’re a big part of why we had a chance.” For Johnson and senior captain forward Tanner Fritz, the final game was emotional, but the two said they are excited for the program’s future. “I see the program going, obviously, in

the right direction,” Johnson said. “We do everything right here. We do it the right way. We have the great staff. To me, you just can’t get a better program.” “We’re always pushing to get better, and I know they’re going to do that in the following years,” Fritz added. “The only way to go is up from here.” Next year, the Buckeyes will look toward a new group of upperclassmen to lead them in the right direction.

sports OPINION

Departures could make or break hoops future TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu When the final buzzer rang Saturday night in Portland, Ore., four Ohio State basketball players walked off the court for the final time as Buckeyes. At least four, I should say. The OSU careers of seniors Sam Thompson, Shannon Scott, Amir Williams and Trey McDonald are over, and their legacy is a question mark — much like the Buckeyes’ future outlook. Despite being part of 109 wins for the Scarlet and Gray, Thompson, Scott, Williams and McDonald never seemed to make their mark. After a Final Four run as freshmen and an Elite Eight finish as sophomores, the quartet failed to fullfil their potential after the departures of Deshaun Thomas and Jared Sullinger. As another offseason begins, the Buckeyes could wonder what might have been if their departing seniors had lived up to the hype, but they might want to refocus on the future instead. In addition to the four seniors, redshirt-senior forward Anthony Lee is done as a collegiate basketball player, leaving OSU five players short. Those holes will be partially filled by the eligibility of soon-to-be redshirt-sophomore center Trevor Thompson and five new recruits,

MARK BATKE / Photo editor

OSU guard D’Angelo Russell is projected to be a top-5 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5 assists per game as a freshman. but it’s a potential sixth hole to fill that OSU should worry about most. Freshman guard D’Angelo Russell, who shot 3-for-19 in the Buckeyes’ season-ending loss to Arizona in the round of 32, is projected to be a top-five pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Champs from 1B Ryan couldn’t stop smiling as time ran down before he could officially call his team National Champions, and he said he is relieved that the Buckeyes finished off their title run. “I feel great, proud, for an amazing institution and administration that supports the sport,” Ryan said. “1921 was the first year that Ohio State started wrestling, 94 years later we win our first National Championship. “I’m just so happy for all the coaches, the staff, all the people who are important to this team and Buckeye nation everywhere.” Many people didn’t expect the Buckeyes to have a chance to win it all, as Missouri entered the tournament undefeated and No. 1 in the country, but Ryan said he and his staff put the pieces in place to do so years in advance. “There was no question that we felt we had the right people to win a national championship, we felt that two years ago,” Ryan said. Leading the way for the wrestling Bucks was Stieber. His victory made him just the fourth wrestler to pick up a quartet of national titles.

Monday March 23, 2015

After a season filled with inconsistency, does he have any reason to stay in college? Russell could easily be making his millions and leaving his mark on the NBA next season, but his decision will make or break the 2015-16 Buckeyes.

“I can’t thank my teammates, my coaches and my family enough,” Stieber said. “It’s been an unbelievable journey. “I’m extremely proud of my teammates,” Stieber added. “As an individual, to win is amazing. For the team, it’s something I dreamed of ever since I came to Ohio State.” Ryan explained how significant Stieber’s achievement was by saying “more people have been on the moon than have won four national titles.” Joining Stieber on the podium was Nathan Tomasello. The redshirt-freshman said he’s grown throughout his first competitive collegiate season. “It’s just a great learning experience and journey throughout the year,” Tomasello said. “I grew so much and I have great coaches and great throw partners, who love to compete and love the sport of wrestling, every single day. I am just truly thankful everyone that supported me and just truly excited to be here.” The 125-pound Big Ten and National Champion said he is grateful for accomplishing a goal he’s had since before his OSU career began. “It’s been a dream and a goal of mine for many years. Now

If Russell leaves, OSU will only be returning one player who started a game in the NCAA Tournament. But if the Louisville, Ky., native returns, the Buckeyes could be not only better than this past season, but one of the best teams in the nation. You don’t need senior leadership to win in the NCAA — Kentucky has proven as much this season. And for OSU, which, under coach Thad Matta, typically has experienced upperclassmen, next season could be a turning point. Not only will the Buckeyes be returning just one junior next year, but they’ll have a whopping zero seniors. If Russell stays in the fold, he’ll be teaming up with rising-junior Marc Loving, classmates Jae’Sean Tate and Keita Bates-Diop, Trevor Thompson and five talented incoming freshmen. That grouping could not only be the formula for a deep tournament run — maybe even a national title — but also a turning point in the culture of Matta’s program. Sure he’s had his one-two-or-three and dones, but he’s never built a team out of young talent with limited experience — except, you know, the 2007 Buckeyes who made a run to the NCAA Tournament final. So forget the win numbers for perhaps the most underwhelming senior class in OSU men’s basketball history. Their legacy won’t go down in history, but they might have sparked a hardwood revolution in Columbus. You know, if Russell stays.

as a freshman and putting in the time every single day makes it worth it,” Tomasello said. “And just going through the grind of the season and just, this is where you can let yourself fly and see who’s the best. At this tournament, I feel like I peaked at the right time and was wrestling at my best through the Big Ten and then here.” Ryan said Tomasello is a class act and added that he isn’t surprised at the amount of success he’s had. “Nathan represents everything good in the world, Ryan said. “He’s a straight-A student guy. He says what he means and he does what he says and he’s a tremendous worker.” Along with its first national title, the program now has three Big Ten team titles. The Buckeyes finished with five All-Americans this year, which brings the program’s total to 87. Now that the title has been wrapped up, Ryan still has time to enjoy his turn in the Sunshine State. After that trip to Florida with his family, Ryan said he will be right back getting his team ready for next year. “The recruiting and developing young guys is constant,” Ryan said. “I’m going to Florida first and then getting ready for next season starts.”
