Editor's Note Ohio weather is the worst. Lucky for (some of ) you, in a few weeks you’ll be frolicing on a sandy beach somewhere, soaking in the sun and, probably, some strong alcohol on #SpringBreak2K16. I’m very jealous. As I sit here in my office writing/staring at some fresh white snowy sh*t on the cold ground outside, I’d like to give you a few words of advice to make your spring break the best it can be. 1. Your mom wanted me to tell you this: BE SMART AND STAY SAFE. 2. Okay, back to me. If you’re traveling to a designated spring break destination (Cancun, basically anywhere in Florida, Gulf Shores, ect.) be prepared. And by that I mean you will be surrounded by hundreds of other drunk college kids. It will either be a scarring experience or the time of your life. If you’re not much of a drinker, these destinations are probably not for you. If you are much of a drinker, water and food are key to survival. So is sunscreen. Sun poisoning is no joke- see photo attached. Take my word, sun poisoning on day one of a seven day beach trip means long pants, long sleeves and bucket hats unless you want blisters on your skin. Which you don’t. 3. If you’re traveling home: Make the most of it! Instead of Netflixing & chilling with yourself every day (every other day is acceptable), get up and do something. Make

plans with family because you know they miss you and they’ll pay for your meal. Make plans with your high school bestie because drinking in their garage or basement is still cool and, now, you don’t have to hide it from their parents. 4. If you’re staying in Columbus: Again, make the most of it! Spring break on campus means there will be less people at the bars, less people in the Short North, basically less people everywhere. Take advantage. 5. Don’t forget about St. Patty’s Day. Green beer and stuff. Have fun, OSU! Someone bring me back a souvenir. Please.

Rally for Real Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

n February 19, between the chimes of the Orton Hall bell, you may have noticed groups of students wearing painted clocks and imitating the ticking of a clock over Ohio State’s campus. These clock-wearing activists were doing more than reminding students about the passage of time; they were raising awareness for a cause that relies on immediate action from President Drake. At 3 p.m., the group gathered on the steps of Bricker Hall. Chants calling for local, noncorporate food could be heard reverberating across the Oval. After rallying, the group approached the office of President Drake. This group of activists is Real Food OSU, and they have been campaigning at Ohio State for the past two years. They are a part of a larger organization called Real Food Challenge with chapters in schools around the country.

The Real Food Challenge aims to have $1 billion of university food across the country invested in local and sustainable sources by 2020. Real Food OSU’s goal: having 40 percent of Ohio State’s food locally and sustainably sourced by 2025. Some schools, like Northwestern University and the University of Pittsburg, have already received administrative support and passed commitments similar to the one that Real Food OSU is calling to attention. Students from these schools teamed up with Ohio State’s chapter in action to meet with President Drake as a part of the Real Food Challenge’s Midwestern Retreat. The commitment they wish to pass outlines guidelines for local, sustainable and community-based food. Having partnered with researchers and farms in the Columbus area, Real Food OSU is figuring out ways this agreement will work at Ohio State by outlining farm partnerships that feasibly meet their goals.

Real Food OSU continues to campaign for locally sourced food

However, it isn’t until President Drake signs the commitment allowing the group to obtain necessary data on Ohio State’s food sources that implementation of their pilot program may begin. Rachel Metzler, fourthyear student and president of Real Food OSU, said the biggest challenge of passing their commitment is getting their message through to Ohio State’s administration. “We have been negotiating with administration for as long as this campaign has been going on and we will continue to negotiate until we win the commitment and we see this policy come to fruition,” said Metzler. The action on February 19, was organized with the goal of finally reaching administration. Real Food OSU, with help of students from other Midwest schools, approached President Drake’s office in Bricker Hall. The group waited to hear if Drake would accept their request for a meeting.

Unfortunately, he was on a flight headed abroad and unable to meet. Most of the group then headed to the Summit on 16th United Methodist Church to debrief. Despite being unsuccessful, the group resolved not to give up their commitment on creating a healthy, green and fair food system at OSU. At the end of the day, the dimly lit church basement filled with the sounds of chatter and laughter as someone began plucking at a guitar. It was here that Metzler expressed a parting message to the group.

"...The action on February 19, was organized with the goal of finally reaching administration. Real Food OSU, with help of students from other Midwest schools, approached President Drake’s office in Bricker Hall." “I think a large part of the Buckeye community is looking to President Drake for this commitment to secure the transparency, the democratic process and the justice that were denied today and this commitment will ensure just that in our food system,” Metzler said. • More information can be found at u.osu.edu/realfoodchallenge and realfoodchallenge.org.

The Ohio State University Engineering department has many triumphs to its name in the field of research and applied practice. The department’s latest triumph is in the form of The Ohio State University Hyperloop Team, comprised of 15 engineering students on a mission to develop upon research started in the 1960s by Dr.

Gerald Gregorick. OSU’s Hyperloop team has pursued Gregorick’s original research in the field of high-speed transport. The issue at hand has been the idea of how to successfully achieve high-speed transport in a controlled, lowpressure environment when facing a large pressure wall. To overcome this problem, the team has utilized modern resources in the form of technology to

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

High-Speed Hyperloop: OSU Engineering Team

investigate and propose a solution. Each team member contributed a unique perspective and skill to the team’s overall mission, like fifth-year Alex Dorcik, who provided the printed parts that the team needed for their demonstration of the Hyperloop. Dorcik was involved with additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3-D printing. The team’s work has also been focused around creating a concept and multiple prototypes that

support Elon Musk's transportation system. Elon Musk, who is the founder behind PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla, shared his vision for Hyperloop transportation with the community and he has sought out the minds of university engineering students to help him fully develop the concept. The OSU team was able to develop and build their model within five months. "I’ve always been interested in sharing innovative ideas, so when I heard about the opportunity to work on the Hyperloop, I was very excited to actually be able to work with the team to design it. It’s been an incredible process so far,” said Adam Snow, a fifth-year studying aerospace engineering. Five of Ohio State’s Hyperloop team members traveled to Texas in January to present their design along with 300+ other universities who submitted proposals in the fall. While they did not win the competition, they were finalists. The fiveteam members who traveled to Texas to were Amanda Belding, Stephanie Weichel, Alex Dorcik, Adam Snow and Jonathan Hoge. “We have been working hard since the start of last semester and despite not coming home with a trophy we are still working on the project in hopes of next year's capstone picking it and improving for next year's competition,” Amanda Belding, the Ohio State’s Hyperloop team captain, said. “We were up against of 150 teams from 12 countries. But, hey, Michigan’s team didn't win either!” Certain team members, like Kan Liu and Hannah Sparks, are also working to break the stereotype that engineering students become limited to their studies. Besides Kan’s involvement with many organizations such as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Sigma Gamma Tau Aerospace Honor Society, he enjoys helping students transition into college life through his time working at OSU Housing Services. Sparks, also, actively helps first-year engineers with their transition to college and volunteers in the community. Along with their success in Hyperloop research, it seems these students are bringing innovation to the forefront of all aspects of their lives. •

t r i h S T n Operatio

OSU SENIOR WEARS OPER ATION SMILE ATTIRE EVERYDAY

here is a fine line between passion and obsession and fourth-year OSU student, Tim Zhu, is not scared to cross it. For a good cause, of course. In high school, Tim was a member of an Operation Smile Club. Operation Smile is an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing cleft lip and palette repair surgeries for children in need. “I was at a point in my life where I was wanting to try something new and get involved with an organization that gives back. So, when I found Operation Smile – as soon as I got involved, it was the best decision of my life,” Tim said.

Through Operation Smile, Tim attended various leadership conferences and traveled to Mexico as part of a medical mission, witnessing first hand what the organization does. “Reading about cleft lip and cleft palette on the Internet, that’s one thing. But then actually seeing these children in person and seeing their families, the struggle that they go through, the sacrifices they make to take care of their children, it’s such a powerful experience,” he said. “I had been so close to Operation Smile’s cause, but the mission drew me in even further.” Further enough that when Tim came

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

to Ohio State, compelled by the university’s lack of the organization, he started an Operation Smile Club. He originally planned on starting the program during his junior or senior year, when he would’ve felt comfortable enough doing so. However, the journey started sooner than expected. “I was just telling everyone about it my freshman year and everyone was just being so supportive. So, really, it was just the support that I got from all of my friends that, right away, I knew freshman year, ‘I’m gonna do it,’” Tim said. During the first year of Ohio State’s Operation Smile Club, the group had

about three or four members. They held one fundraiser on The Oval selling smoothies and raised $60. Today, their membership count has grown to 45 active members and so far, this year, they have raised over $4,000 for the cause.

“I’d be wearing the shirts everyday regardless of if people sent me extra shirts or not. But, to see other people excited makes me feel happy because I know that I’m making a difference. A cause that Tim says he is “addicted to.” Addicted to the point of pledging to wear Operation Smile attire every day of his senior year. “All day, everyday. Holidays, weekends, even during winter break. Every single day,” Tim said. After word of his commitment to promote the organization everyday of his senior year spread in the Operation Smile community, his Operation Smile apparel count rose from eight shirts to 44 pieces of apparel. “I’d be wearing the shirts everyday regardless of if people sent me extra shirts or not. But, to see other people excited makes me feel happy because I know that I’m making a difference. I’m getting people excited about the cause,” he said. Tim says wearing the apparel every day has sparked more conversation about Operation Smile. People ask about the shirts and he tells them about the cause and what it means to him. After wearing an Operation Smile on his graduation day this spring, Tim hopes to continue his journey with the organization. “My plan is to actually work with Operation Smile when I graduate,” he said. “They have a program coordinator position that does hire recent graduates so that’d be my dream.” Operation Smile Club’s next big fundraiser will be the Mr. University Pageant on April 8. Students will be able to vote for their favorite contestant by placing a donation into a contestant’s corresponding jar. For more information on the event or how to get involved, visit go.osu.edu/smile. “Once you’ve discovered your love for a particular cause then all you have to do is be completely honest and really speak from deep in your heart,” Tim said. “I find that that’s what really allows you to connect with anyone who can learn more about the cause.” •

SPRING BREAK WITH YOUR

BFF It’ll break up your friendship.

Chrislyn Koch

he only campers on the entire grounds were my best friend and I, spooning each other for warmth with teeth chattering and giggles escaping from our mouths between the clattering. “I’ll never forget this. It’s a maid of honor speech in the making if nothing else,” I said or she said, I, ironically, forget. With more than 15 years of friendship under our belts, our thought processes tend to often be the same so if I think something, she says it, and vice versa. I know we’re not alone in this, leading me to assume we’re not the only best friends who have thought spending a week road tripping across the country

would be a great idea. Five days later, we wouldn’t be speaking to each other as we drove back to Ohio, bringing an early close to our Spring Break trip we’d spent months excitedly planning. It would make no sense to ramble about why she got on my nerves and why I got on hers. The reasons were insignificant and mundane. Yet, when you’re driving nonstop for 17 hours only to sleep on top of unexpected snowfall in a sagging tent held up by duct tape and string because your GRP pole broke and you’re both saving cash for gas and camping fees so you’re sustaining yourself on a diet of trail mix and apples and the occasional Taco Bell when you decide to splurge

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

and treat yourself … nothing is insignificant and mundane. Perhaps it was the solitude that occurs when you’ve run out of things to talk about, or the lack of sleep, or the boring agony that occurred when we couldn’t get our wood to burn long enough for s'mores even once. But, whatever it was, we talked to each other less and less until we both blew up on each other while hiking down the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon. We turned around, hiked back up the trail, drove home to Ohio and didn’t talk to each other again for nearly six months. But when we talked again, our friendship was as it had always been in some ways, we talked and joked and jumped

right back in without missing a beat. It was better in other ways, we’d apologized and admitted our wrongdoings and spoke about how the trip impacted our friendship and us. Because of this horror of a trip, we developed an understanding of each other that we’d never been tested on before in the decade and a half of friendship. We lost our breath laughing of the memory of spooning on top of snow in a droopy tent. She’s getting married this summer and, wouldn’t you know, the adventure truly was a maid of honor speech in the making — just like she’d said or I’d said … I forget. •

o, February has ended and, with it, came a rude awakening — you still don’t have spring break plans. Don’t worry, there’s still hope if you don’t want to spend a week becoming one with the couch in your parents’ living room. If you want to get out of Columbus for spring break, you’re not doomed just yet. Check out these budget-friendly last minute options.

Hocking Hills

Sure, it’s not a warm, sandy beach. But spending a few days at Hocking Hills provides a different kind of escape. You and a few friends can rent a cabin, where you’ll be toasty on the inside, and you can still explore the great outdoors on a brisk hike, complete with breathtaking views and fresh air. This is the perfect low-budget spring break escape whether you just want to relax in a secluded cabin or get in a few rounds of True American with your best pals. Plus, Hocking Hills is only a little over an hour away, so you won’t waste much time holed up in the car driving there. For a similar getaway a little farther from home (and a farther south), consider renting a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Sure, it has the reputation of being “Fratlinburg,” a place where fraternities gather once a year for formal weekends, but fraternity men are onto something — Gatlinburg is a great getaway.

Faraway Friends

If you have long-distance friends living in cool cities, spring break is the perfect time to pay them a visit. Whether they live in New York City or Nashville, visiting a friend is the ideal low-budget vacation when you’re young and can sleep on any couch (or floor). The best part about this kind of vacation is, of course, reconnecting with a friend who doesn’t live in the same zip code as you, but it’s also great because you have a free place to stay and an expert tour guide. When you visit a city for the first time, it’s easy to get stuck in the tourist traps, but with a local to lead the way, you’ll have the best recommendations for food, drinks and sights you’d probably miss on your own. Your biggest expense will probably be the gas or plane ticket to get you there, but after that, you can adjust your eating, drinking and shopping budget to fit your needs.

Spontaneous Spring Break Last minute plans that won’t break the bank Caitlin Essig

Drive to the Beach

At this point, it’s getting down to the wire to book a plane ticket. For the best deals on flights, you want to book about a month or more in advance, especially if you’re going far or flying into an airport that’s not a hub. But, if you and a few friends split the cost of gas, you can still get to the beach on a budget (if you’re good enough friends that a long car ride won’t kill you, of course). Now, where to go? Pick a beach far enough south to be warm — Florida is probably your best bet, though Gulf Shores, Alabama is also a popular spring break destination. Since you’re driving, you won’t need to rent a car and can stay a little farther from the ocean, which will save you money. The beach is the ideal place for a cheap vacation because you only have to really spend money on food and alcohol, and you don’t have to eat out at all if you don’t want to — you can survive a week off a pretty cheap trip to the grocery store. If spending all day at the beach or by the pool is your ideal vacation, you can pull it off without burning a hole in your wallet.

Last Minute Flight

If you’re still looking for a last-minute flight to your spring break destination, check out the app Skiplagged. It helps you find the cheapest flights using a practice that sounds too good to be true but is totally legal (even if it is frowned upon by the airlines). Basically, you search for your departure city and arrival city, and Skiplagged finds the cheapest way to get you there, which can involve you boarding a flight with a layover in your final destination, even if the plane has a different final destination. For example: let’s say you want to fly from Columbus to Atlanta. Skiplagged can tell you if it’s cheapest to fly nonstop from Columbus to Atlanta, or if you should board a flight destined for Tampa with a layover in Atlanta, then just get off the plane when it stops in Atlanta. If you do this and “skip” the final destination, you can’t check a bag (it’ll end up in Tampa), but the savings might be worth it. •

THROUGH THE YEARS A look into the history of minorities at OSU Chrislyn Koch

The Ohio State University Archives

JESSE OWENS

According to OSU’s Autumn ‘15 semester Statistical Summary, there are 28,892 women and 10,666 minority students on OSU’s main campus of 58,663 students. Highlighting these minority students, the Student Life Multicultural Center coordinates Women's History Month, African-American Heritage Festival and Mixed Heritage Week throughout spring semester. The Multicultural Center website explains more: “Women’s History Month in March highlights contributions of women to historical and contemporary events that have shaped and are shaping society. OSU celebrates such women through panels, lectures, socials, and community events. The Annual African-American Heritage Festival educates and promotes cultural awareness while honoring the legacy of the AfricanAmerican experience. This year celebrates the 38th festival from April 3 - 9. The theme, Hand in Hand, We Stand, will be incorporated throughout, centered around "Mshikamano," Swahili for “solidarity”. Mixed Heritage Week celebrates and raises awareness about those who identify as multi-cultural, multi-racial, and/or multi-ethnic. Alongside the Multicultural Center, students explore representation, identity, family and love.” Where We Fit in the History of Ohio State The university began in 1870, welcoming its first students in 1873 and first graduating class of six men in 1878. Research through the university archives digs a little deeper: The first Professor of Agriculture enrolled two of his daughters, Alice and Harriet, in the founding class. Though neither graduated in the first class (Alice, one of three students who chose the university’s colors, graduated in 1880), women were present and impacting campus from the beginning. In 1879, OSU celebrated its first woman graduate and in 1892, its first African-American graduate. The first women's dormitory, designed by OSU alumna Florence Kenyon Hayden, opened in 1908. Named by its first residents, Oxley Hall was derived from President William Oxley Thompson’s mother’s maiden name. While it was unofficially prohibited for racial minorities to live in campus housing, campus area landlords also often refused renting to minorities until the 1950s when OSU created the open housing initiatives. In the late 1960s, the Black Student Union demanded more minority faculty, African-American history and culture courses, and increased scholarships for minorities. In 1968, the Committee on Afro-American Studies was formed. Friction between administration and students over gender and racial equality and the Vietnam War led to campus riots. The university closed for two weeks in 1970 and The Office of Minority Affairs opened that same year. By 1971, a degree in African-American Studies was created and the first Women’s History course was offered, OSU being one of the first universities to offer Women’s History courses. A Black Studies Community Extension Center opened in 1972 and in 1978, Women’s History became a graduate study program. Today’s OSU minority student can find inspiration in the thousands of fellow African-Americans, women and mixed heritage alumni that have come before them. •

Owens, the first African-American Big Ten team captain, joined OSU in 1933. By 1935, he’d set multiple track and field world records and by 1936, had won four Olympic gold medals. At OSU, however, Owens wasn’t allowed in the men’s dormitory, restaurants along High Street, and most movie theaters because of his race.

Clotilde Dent Bowen

Thirty-one years after the College of Medicine graduated its first African-American men, Bowen received her MD. She’d become the first AfricanAmerican physician in the U.S. Army, first African-American woman Colonel and first African-American woman to direct a military hospital clinic.

BERTHA LAMME

Lamme was the very first woman to graduate from Ohio State with a degree in engineering. Her degree was in Mechanical Engineering and she graduated in 1893. After she got married, she left her job to become a wife and a mother, inspiring her daughter, Florence, to become a physicist.

Empower your job search: Using LinkedIn to your advantage

hether you're trying to land your first internship or frantically seeking fulltime employment because graduation is only a few months away, your job search is suffering if you're not using LinkedIn. "LinkedIn is an amazing research tool and most people don’t realize that. You can learn a lot about roles, companies and industries, which you can then use to your advantage when networking and applying for jobs,” said Alyssa Gelbard, founder and president of Resume Strategists, a career consulting and personal branding firm. Empowering your job search through LinkedIn can be confusing if you don't have the proper knowledge and tools. Follow these two simple steps and you'll be on your way to LinkedIn success.

1. Market Yourself with a Kick-Ass Profile

It's not enough to simply create a profile. If you want to garner the attention of a potential employer, you'll need a profile that is decked out to the max. Upload a picture of you that is large, clear and uncropped. According to the LinkedIn Help Center, "The ideal pixel size

for your photo is 400 x 400. If either width or height exceeds 20,000 pixels, your photo will not upload." If you don't have a large enough photo of just you, ask a friend to take a shot with a neutral background. Bonus points if you find a friend with a DSLR camera (if not, an iPhone will do). And don't even think about skipping the photo — your profile is 14 times more likely to be viewed by simply having a (publicly viewable) picture. “People are much less likely to connect with you if they can’t see you. It also doesn’t send a good message about you as a potential candidate for a job,” Gelbard said. Update your work experience to include descriptive bullet points for each role you've held. Emphasize internship experience over side jobs like waiting tables that just helped you earn a little extra cash. A prospective employer likes to see that you're gaining experience by learning and shadowing in your desired field rather than in a side job. However, you should still include all of your work experience. Whether it's working as a barista at your local coffee shop on campus or as a student assistant at the childcare center, a part-time job demonstrates a good work ethic, as well as an ability to balance and prioritize work and school. “I worked at the childcare center at Ohio State for most of college and I had a really positive experience. I learned how to work

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

with people from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, which helped me land an internship and now my full-time job,” said Hannah Tippett, who graduated from Ohio State last year. For work-related roles, include bullets that focus on execution, teamwork and accountability, rather than your ability to make French fries. These skills are transferrable and employers are more likely to see that if you list them as such.

Connecting with people on LinkedIn is vital to the growth of your network. While it's great to connect to family and friends, you won't be able to expand your reach if you stay within your bubble. Start by looking up your dream company

Michelle Ozan

and then search through the employees and find someone with a job title that interests you. Whether it is someone who is 15-plus years into their career, or someone who is just starting out, reach out to connect with them. Personalize the message, mentioning that you are interested in their career path and learning more about the industry. Also, if they have job listings on their LinkedIn page, click on one to see who posted the job. This person is usually an internal recruiter or an account manager at a recruitment firm for the brand. Again, it's important to personalize the message, indicating why you're reaching out to connect. You can also find people to connect with through LinkedIn groups. With more than two million LinkedIn groups, you can easily find one to satisfy any interest you may have. Alumni groups, professional and special interest organizations and job search related groups are all a great place to start. You can even join a group to learn about LinkedIn groups — it’s called "Getting Started With Groups." See what people are talking about and join in on the conversation. Even if you're not a LinkedIn pro, with these two simple steps, you’ll be on your way to building your professional presence and ultimately landing that first job. •

STUDENT GROUP AIMS TO CREATE COMMUNITY THROUGH FASHION

ou may have seen their stickers and posters plastered all over campus, stuck to bus stops and tacked to bulletin boards. They’re hard to miss – a red state of Ohio with the words “HEART OF IT ALL” in bold white lettering. And heart is just what you will find when you talk to Aaron Casey about Heart of it All Fashion. Casey is one of the co-founders of the nonprofit fashion organization on Ohio State’s campus. Heart of it All Fashion began in 2014 when Casey, a fashion merchandising major, and recent graduate Nadia Harper came together with the vision of bringing something new and exciting to the campus fashion scene. They decided to create a group that focused

people of all majors and interests, Heart of it All runs like a business. In addition to being an platform for designers, models, photographers and bloggers, the group also includes roles that reflect the business side of the fashion industry. “We need our marketers, we need our PR people, we need our communications, we need the digital design people,” Casey said. “We’re bringing everyone together for the cause of fashion.” Another thing that makes Heart of it All unique are their events. Their annual event, The Heart of it All Fashion Experience, features two different types of fashion shows: street fashion and couture fashion. With choreographed runs and a huge attention

its mission on educating, promoting and supporting the fashion talent at OSU. But Heart of it All’s reach spreads much farther than just the Oval. The group seeks to also affect the fashion community throughout Columbus. They are actively reaching out to fashion talent on campus and across the state in hopes of contributing to the emerging fashion capital of the Midwest. “(Heart of it All Fashion) brings something new,” Casey said. “It brings a new attitude, a new culture. I feel like it’s like a pick me up for the fashion community.” What makes Heart of it All different from so many other groups, according to Casey, is the way the organization is run. Open to

to detail, Heart of it All strives to push itself to the top. The group also offers modeling clinics for free so that aspiring models can learn runway etiquette. “We really try and push to bring that New York Fashion Week, L.A. Fashion Week, Miami, Paris type of feel,” Casey said. Heart of it all has bigger plans for the future. Expansion, Casey said, is one of their biggest goals at the moment. This semester, a Heart of it all Fashion began a chapter at Kent State University. Perhaps the biggest and most exciting expansion for the group is putting together a community resource center. To be based here on campus, the resource center would be like a fully functioning retail store with the capability to design and manufacture products on the back end. With student interns working the front end of the store and designers in the back, the center would ideally be a resource for the entire campus community. For instance, say a sorority needs shirts designed and made for bid day. Students could visit the resource center, talk with a designer and have their shirts made right there on campus. Ultimately, that’s what Heart of it All is about- connecting the OSU community through fashion. “Everything we do always has a greater purpose,” Casey said. “It’s always for our community. We’re moving forward and we’re trying to take this vision alongside with the community.” •

Personally Styled Scarlette Magazine focuses on individual fashion

ith New York Fashion Week wrapped up in late February with prominent designers showcasing their Fall/Winter 2016 collections. Fashion fanatics diligently followed their favorite designers, bloggers and various street style outlets via social media. Many fashionistas and fashionistos look toward NYFW to learn which trends have died out, crossed over from last season or are new to the scene—or rather, which were recycled from the past with slight adjustments. Though, during NYFW one must ask how they can follow the latest trends yet maintain their own style. Ohio State’s first and only fashion digital-publication, Scarlette Magazine, has managed a balance between what is “in” and what is style. “Our goal is to really promote campus individuality and beauty. We do focus on clothing but we have a lot of commitment to diversity and promoting alternative fashions as well,” said Bonnie BabbCheshul, Scarlette Magazine’s editor-inchief and an OSU fourth-year majoring in visual communications design. Media outlets like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar are necessary to the fashion industry. They inform fashion aficionados about trends, they analyze the creativity and inspiration of designers and then report the latest news in fashion.

“Our goal is to really promote campus individuality and beauty. We do focus on clothing but we have a lot of commitment to diversity and promoting alternative fashions as well.”

Scarlette Magazine, however, captures the true essence of fashion: individual style. Outlets like Scarlette Magazine create a place that embraces a combination of style, originality and self-identity. “We do look at fashion trends for the seasons…but we will also do things that are kind of outside of the norm for fashion,” BabbCheshul said. That “outside of the norm” mentality is how Scarlette Magazine caught attention from across the Atlantic Ocean. The digital publication has received international interest from fellow fashion lovers in Italy, which is no small feat. One can look through past issues, found at scarlette.osu.edu, and easily understand how this small magazine got noticed in Italy. With only two issues a year—one for the fall and another for the spring—the team at Scarlette creates a platform that transcends fashion by cherishing creativity and personal style. The magazine is photo heavy, but the photos are editorial over commercial. If you are more interested in text, their blog is another fashion outlet, scarlettemagazine.tumblr. com. Further, the impressive editorial design has an aesthetic that can hang with the most popular of publications. The team at Scarlette Magazine is currently working on the Spring 2016 issue, which will be released in early April. Babb-Cheshul said readers can expect "fairy tales." How they’ll embrace creativity, inspire readers and flaunt various styles with a fairy tale theme; we’ll have to wait and see. •

For the love of fashion Fashion Production Association Co-President explains what the group means to her

hen you first get to Ohio State and walk through your very first involvement fair, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and engulfed by the number of student organizations. But I went in with a plan: I was looking for a specific organization that would allow me to participate in my interests of fashion. The Fashion Production Association was the organization I found and is the one that has kept me engaged throughout my four years at Ohio State. I have spent my years working on the production side of the organization and have done everything from securing silent auction donations to overseeing the final lighting, script and music decisions for fashion shows. I’m not the only one who has found such value in this organization. “FPA helped me discover my love of creating my own garments,” said Amie Griffith, this year’s other co-president. For me, I've dedicated so much of my time to FPA because it's an organization that truly allows me to engage my interests. This organization has given me numerous opportunities to gain new skills, embrace new people and teach me about responsibility and creativity. FPA is an organization that revolves around a completely student-run and student-designed fashion show we hold in

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

the Ohio Union each April. Each year, a different theme sets the inspiration both for the student designers to create their garments as well as for the production students to create the perfect ambience. Throughout the year, the students on both the design and production committees activate their creative abilities to brainstorm, design and create all components of the design show. Treasurer Katherine Wang describes FPA as “a creative outlet that brings together students from all different backgrounds who share a common interest.” FPA has come a long way from 2008 when the organization was created out of a design practicum in order to allow students across all majors to come and join together to put on the show. There have been 24 design shows to date, and this year the show focuses on the theme of Emotions. “Each year the shows become more creative and sophisticated,” said our adviser Nancy Rudd. This year, the audience will be taken through the different emotions of bliss, sorrow, rage, passion and surprise, as they watch the garments come down the runway. This year’s show, titled “Expressions,” is set for April 16 in the Archie Griffin Ballroom. A silent auction held prior to the show will benefit Ronald McDonald House. •

t’s not uncommon for recent graduates to find themselves in a job that doesn’t utilize their degree and isn’t in the realm of their career goals. Some recent grads fall into luck. They are able to utilize their degree while combining a hobby with their career goal to create their dream job. The guys at Pop’s Printed Apparel are the lucky ones. Co-owners Chad Campagna, 25, and Austin Pence, 24, grew up together in East Palestine, Ohio. Campagna’s father owned a printing business in their hometown, and Campagna grew up working in the shop, learning the ropes. After Campagna graduated from high school, he went to Youngstown State University. A year later, Pence headed off to Ohio State.

RECENT GRADS OPEN OWN BUSINESS PRINTING SHIRTS

“ "I took entrepreneur classes and you're learning from a text book and I think, in business, everything is experience. It's been so much trial and error."

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Summer of 2011, we were painting houses and one of the kids who was painting with us was talking about screen printing T-shirts. I always liked design but I never saw art as a means to make money, I guess,” Pence said. He and his roommate at the time, Jobey Manahan, 23, decided to design and print T-shirts out of their campus house on Frambes Avenue. Although Pence had done a fair amount of research, it didn’t fully prepare them for what was to come. “I remember being on the phone with Chad and him being like, ‘Dude, you can’t just start screen printing.’ We had an order from Delta Gamma and it was like 150 shirts for dad’s weekend and we had never done it before,” Pence said. “It was a three color back,” Manahan added, who currently works part-time at Pop’s. “We didn’t sleep all weekend and the shirts were so bad. We just didn’t have the tools we needed and didn’t know what the hell we were doing,” said Pence, who graduated from OSU in spring of 2014 with a degree in marketing. Luckily, Campagna was visiting OSU that weekend and helped them through it. Slowly but surely, they were learning to perfect their craft. One month after Campagna graduated with a degree in graphic design, the materials in his father’s shop went up for auction. His dad had fallen ill and was unable to continue with his business. The two decided to buy the printing equipment that Campagna had been using since he was a teenager. From there, things started to fall into place. They got the printing equipment in June, the space on High Street in July, and began renovating. “There was a lot of sledgehammer work from Jobey,” Campagna said. Pop’s Printed Apparel opened in January 2015, named for Campagna’s dad, who taught them just about everything they know and who has been critical to their success. They owe much of their accomplishments to him and also to local businesses who have supported them along the way. “We’ve got a really good relationship with Scott [Ellsworth] at Too’s and Jimmy [Barouxis] and Nora [Rice] at Buckeye Donuts, and that’s been the coolest thing for me,” Pence said. “You go to Ohio State, you go to these businesses, you spend your money at these places — I lived at Buckeye Donuts when we were on Frambes — and now they show support to you.” Combining their two degrees has also been important in the success of Pop’s.

"You can't call a superior, you can't call mom and dad. You gotta deal with it"

“It’s been great because he's graphic design and I was ‘hobby-graphic-design.’ So, I was teaching myself, and there’s so many little things that Chad has taught me to make thing easier. But with the entrepreneur side of things, I took entrepreneur classes and you’re learning from a text book and I think, in business, everything is experience,” Pence said. “It’s been so much trial and error.” The trial and error seems to be going well for them, as the co-founders are already looking for a warehouse space to expand and showcase the work they do with local businesses. They hope that by expanding their shop to a larger space, they’ll have the opportunity to help out students who are looking to start their own clothing brands, as well. Although their business is looking up, it's not all easy. “I’d say the hardest part is you're always getting calls, you’re always getting emails at all times of the day and if there’s a problem, you have to solve it. You can’t call a superior, you can’t call mom and dad. You gotta deal with it,” Pence said. Pence also said the best part about being a business owner at 24, is just that: being young. “We could just blow this, it could be terrible, it just doesn’t work out and then were sitting here and we’re 25. So, we don’t have family, we don't have kids, it’s just you. If the passion project doesn't show that it’s lucrative, everything is still in front of us,” he said. “If it works, that’s fantastic. Then we continue to grow and do what we love.” •

Pop’s Printed Apparel is located at 1758 N High St., with custom T-shirts ranging from $5-$30.

SLEEP FLEET PREPS NEW ALBUM, GOES WILD LIVE

leep Fleet crafts raw, emotional songs without pretension. They’ll yell and crank it to eleven without being told, they play off each other instead of a metronome—they grew up with each other, and it shows. “We’ve been playing together since middle school,” bassist Nick Shope said. “We started a band in, like, eighth grade, was it?” lead singer and guitarist Corey Montgomery said, with a laugh. “And we’re 27 now.” Originally from Enon, Ohio, Montgomery and Shope really did meet in middle school, and have been playing together ever since. Through lineup changes, genre

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

experimentation and physical displacement, they finally arrived in Columbus, where they’ve been playing for about five years. “There’s always the opportunity to do something creative and there’s always so many great musicians around,” Montgomery said, of the Columbus music scene. “It was great when we got here,” said Shope, with a grin, “and it’s even better now.” As for the band’s music, raw is the word. The band’s most recent single relies not on bells and whistles, but on the sheer power of two guitars, a gritty bass and some drums. “Leaky Head” opens up with tangle of dissonant guitars before resolving to a satisfying,

melancholy, chord. The song’s earworm chorus takes the form of several carefully orchestrated rhythmic hits, driven forward by Aaron Hardy’s drums and Montgomery’s strong vocal performance. The odd timing is an effective tension-builder, and it’s no hindrance to the players, who clearly know the track like the backs of their hands. “We were at practice and Andre [Vanderpool], our lead guitarist, started playing the first part of that song. At the time, it was just two notes,” Montgomery said. “And we just wrote it that night. There was no rhyme or reason to it, it just happened.”

“We’re all realizing that we’ve grown a lot in this time frame. I think the lyrics are going to reflect that.” And, unexpectedly, “Leaky Head” took Sleep Fleet to a new level. “It set the bar,” Shope said. For the band’s next full-length album, “Heat Death” (named after the heat death of the universe), the band wants to exist on that new plateau, or above. “We just want the most chaotic sound for it. It’s probably going to be a bit more thematic,” Montgomery said. “We’re all realizing that we’ve grown a lot in this time frame. I think the lyrics are going to reflect that.” “I think this album, if we do it successfully, is going to be the closest representation to going to a Sleep Fleet show,” Shope said. The band has also released a self-recorded full-length and an EP, the latter of which features future smash hit “I Wanted It All.” It’s an incredibly tasty, bite-sized song clocking in at just over two minutes that accurately captures the emotional roller coaster of unrequited love. “Well I wanted you to love me, I didn’t love nobody else,” Montgomery sings. “Well I wanted you to love me, I didn’t even love myself…. Well it’s fine!” For a chance to get a preview of the new material and the full effect of the Sleep Fleet live experience, the band’s next show is at Spacebar with Manray and Turtle Island on March 26 at 9 p.m. And, for the record, Montgomery offered one final piece of advice for any potential concertgoers. “Bring earplugs.”

here’s a prevailing sense that perhaps 2010’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” was Kanye West’s last great opus. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, 2013’s “Yeezus” polarized listeners as a radical sonic departure from the elegance of “Fantasy” that ebbed and flowed lyrically. It’s been déjà vu with West’s seventh solo album, “The Life of Pablo,” a schizophrenic, gospel-infused record that can’t decide how seriously it wants to take itself. “Pablo” is masterfully produced despite occasional lyrical dips. “Ultralight Beam,” undoubtedly the album’s highlight, kicks “Pablo” off with rousing choral arrangements and a fantastic guest verse from rising star Chance the Rapper, and “FML,” a hauntingly honest ballad with a hook from The Weeknd, are the record’s top tracks. “Waves,” a late addition featuring Chris Brown, is another album standout with Top-40 radio potential. The complaint that “The Life of Pablo”

lacks cohesion is reasonable. The album meanders between the dark synths of “Yeezus,” (“Feedback”) the boom-bap of “College Dropout” (“30 Hours” and “Real Friends”) and the hook-driven label showcase “Cruel Summer” (“Highlights”). West called “Pablo” a gospel album but that’s largely a bait and switch. Rather, “The Life of Pablo” is the snapshot of a mind that’s all over the place. A singular vision for “Pablo” is hard to pinpoint. The version that currently lives exclusively on Tidal feels a bit rushed and unfinished. “Wolves,” a track debuted on “Saturday Night Live” last year featuring Vic Mensa and Sia, has been stripped down, replacing both features with a Frank Ocean outro. The beat on “Fade,” which originally surfaced during West’s fashion shows, feels pedestrian — certainly not worthy of the top-flight brand of production usually synonymous with a Kanye West project. It’s a record that’s taken its lumps. Old hip-hop heads lusting for “The College Dropout 2” and the corner of White

Review: LIFE OF PABLO ‘The Life of Pablo’ LIFE OF PABLO Kanye West LIFE OF PABLO THE LIFE OF PABLO

America that hates West unapologetically are not going to be won over by lines about sex with Taylor Swift (“Famous”) and models bleaching their a**holes (“Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1”). The clambering for “old Kanye” is addressed on “Pablo” with Good Friday tracks “No More Parties in LA,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, and “30 Hours” and “Real Friends.” But those fanservice records feel out of place — “The Life of Pablo” is a project that celebrates its lack of focus right off the bat with the maximalism of “Ultralight Beam.” “One last thing I need to let you know / You ain’t never seen nothing crazier than / This n*gga when he off his Lexapro,” West says on “FML.” It’s these hints of vulnerability that teased us into thinking “The Life of Pablo” could be another masterwork. It’s a scatterbrained mess, but a beautiful mess at that.

March Onward OSU Women’s Basketball taken off to one of the best starts in recent memory

Geoff Hammersley

t’s the last practice before the Buckeyes took on the Maryland Terrapins in a pivotal Big Ten showdown. Practice, in the heart of the regular season, showcased intensity and hustle inside the spacious practice gym that reverberated the low hum coming from the ceiling lights. “Buckle down on whatever needs to be done,” said Kelsey Mitchell after practice in preparation for Maryland. This is the second time this season the Buckeyes toppled the Terps – a team reaching the Final Four last season. This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

David Heasley

Ohio State has become a tour de force this season from playing competitive teams from across the country. Between Connecticut, South Carolina, Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Maryland, the Buckeyes have been tested. All of this will lead to the Buckeyes as the hottest team heading into March Madness. The duo of Ameryst Alston and Kelsey Mitchell, a Naismith (player of the year) candidate, has ignited the trail blazed by the Buckeyes this season. Combine the duo with a stout defense and support offensively, and it’s understandable why this squad has hung around the Top Ten for a majority of the season. On top of that, a reinvigorated fan base filled seats in support of the Buckeyes, improving the environment to Ohio State’s favor and making The Schottenstein Center a tough venue for opposing teams to win in.

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

The dynamic backcourt of Alston and Mitchell has collected numerous accolades this season. Alston, while consistently scoring over 15 points a game, reached the 2,000-point milestone. Mitchell, the teams leading scorer, averages north of 20 points per contest, and has brought home national player of the week honors on more than one occasion this season. Both drive to the basket and launch shots from downtown, frustrating defenses. They have no signs of stopping their scoring prowess – which is exactly what you want entering the month of March. But, all sorts of talent surround the duo. Shayla Cooper and Alexa Hart have been rebounding (and scoring) machines, while Asia Doss contributes a doublefigure night at will. Another huge reason the Buckeyes will be playing basketball

well into March: depth. When, arguably, two of the best players in women’s basketball are joined by a talented cast to complete the ensemble, the energy is too much to contain. After the Maryland game, Alston said the positive energy from teammates and fans helped the win. This season, Ohio State has been near flawless at home – with the Connecticut loss being the blemish that stands out. An electric environment decked in scarlet and gray has been the catalyst for wins. The traveling caravan of Buckeye supporters will be a huge reason, in addition to Mitchell and Alston, for a deep run in the NCAA tournament – and even a chance of heading to Indianapolis for the Final Four. March Madness is one of the pillars of American sports culture. It’s a delicacy that can only be tasted for a few weeks of the year. For Buckeye fans, this March has the makings of being an extremely sweet one. •

STILL HAVE A CHANCE AT THE BIG DANCE What Ohio State must do to make the NCAA Tournament

hio State’s streak of program-best seven consecutive NCAA tournament appearances is in jeopardy as it enters the final week of the 2015-16 season. To make it eight straight appearances, the Buckeyes will most likely need to defeat Iowa on Feb. 28 and Michigan State on March 5, both of which were ranked in the top ten as of the Feb. 22 AP Top 25 rankings. Wins against Iowa and MSU would give OSU the quality wins it needs to be granted an NCAA tournament bid by the selection committee. Ohio State’s only quality win of the year heading into the Iowa contest came at a neutral site against then-No. 4 Kentucky. That Kentucky victory, however, is most likely not enough to overshadow some of the Buckeyes’ debilitating losses this season. OSU was the victim of a 35-point rout at Maryland on Jan. 16, a 25-point drubbing at Indiana on Jan. 10, a 75-55 defeat at Connecticut on Dec. 12 and a 73-68 home loss to TexasArlington on Nov. 20. If these losses don’t weaken the Buckeyes’ case of getting into the dance, a closer look at their conference record may. As of Feb. 22, the Buckeyes’ 10 conference wins are against opponents with a combined conference record of 30-70 and a combined overall record of 89-101. Their win over Michigan marks the lone triumph against a Big Ten team with a winning conference record. Six of its Big Ten victories are against the bottom four teams in the league, two coming against Rutgers

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

who is 0-14 in the conference through Feb. 22. Five of Ohio State’s six losses in conference play are against teams that are ranked in the Top 25. In other words, the Buckeyes’ have stockpiled wins against the weaker league opponents while stockpiling losses against the top league opponents. This circumstance is all the more reason why they need wins against Iowa and MSU to help bolster their résumé. Wins against the Hawkeyes and Spartans in addition to a victory in the Big Ten tournament would place the Buckeyes in the NCAA tournament. Conversely, if OSU doesn’t notch a win against MSU and Iowa, then their only hope of making the NCAA tournament is winning four games in four days in the Big Ten tournament. Completing either feat will be even more challenging now with sophomore forward Jae’Sean Tate, who started the first 28 games of 2015-2016, out for the year due to season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. If OSU makes the NCAA tournament, they could even participate in one of the four play-in games that start the tournament, depending on what happens in the regular season and conference tournament. If the Buckeyes only play one NCAA tournament game, it can be a positive step for a young team moving forward. Getting a taste of postseason play can elevate the drive and hunger of the ten underclassmen on this team, competing for a championship in the coming seasons. •

For Columbus: I

n a special ceremony last month at city hall, Columbus Crew SC unveiled new uniforms for the season inspired directly by the city itself. Based around the design of the Columbus city flag, the uniforms drew an impressive amount of feedback, not only locally but nationwide, due to the unique color pattern and layout of the jersey. Much of the feedback was negative, with fans decrying a shift away from a primarily black or gold jersey. The easily identifiable team colors of the past are not as clear in this uniform iteration. Social media was buzzing, so much so that Crew SC made a video of the players reading mean tweets about the new kit. Some highlights included, “I was pissed at first but calmed down now that I realized this is really cool for the third grade class that designed these (@Clubtrillion)” and, “The only thing the new @ColumbusCrewSC kits tell me is that the flag of the city is hideous. Maybe just change that next time. (@Philtyckoski).” Some fans and players have defended the look of the uniform. Justin Meram, the longest tenured member of Crew SC, said “Why are all of our fans upset about this kit? Going on year 6 & finally we have a kit that is unique & signifies this city very well!” @MassiveCityFCC said “It's straight up the best Crew jersey in 20 years. No kidding.” To settle the debate, 1870 has asked the professionals by reaching out to the Ohio State University’s department of Consumer Sciences, Fashion and Retail Studies for their analysis. Chelsea Blackwell is a PhD in the social psychology of dress, and she was not a fan of the look. “Unfortunately, the blue shorts do not go well with the uniform shirt. It lacks coherence,”

Blackwell said. “The reason why the black and gold combination has been successful is because it is an exciting, bold, and fierce color statement. Imagine a Columbus Crew player in the traditional black and gold uniform charging down the field after the ball and then imagine that same player in the new ‘For Columbus’ uniforms…one has fierceness to it while the other feels much milder.” Professor Joyce Brooks, who teaches a senior level Fashion Advertising & Promotion class, asked her students for feedback on the uniform. They harped on the shorts and the color selection. “It looks too youthful and almost clownish. The pastel shorts appear whimsy and navy or black shorts would be much more professional.” Other words used to describe the color scheme included “childish,” “childlike,” and just plain “unattractive.” Despite the difference of opinions on the look of the jersey, there is consensus on one part- the idea to tie the club to the city through their

jersey is a solid plan. Every student surveyed in Professor Brooks’ class agreed that the tiein was a good idea, the only question on the survey where everyone answered the same. “Columbus is a place for fashion and is a center of many fashion based companies,” Blackwell said. “Creating a new uniform that represented the ‘For Columbus’ slogan was forward thinking and thoughtful.” As the saying goes, sometimes it’s the thought that counts. • What are your thoughts?

how far WILL THE BUCKEYES UNIFORMS GO?

ould Ohio State’s uniform changes this year be a sign of things to come? Black Saturday. That was what fans dubbed Ohio State’s first ever true blackout in The Shoe. For the game against Penn State, the Buckeyes took the field in all black uniforms, the first time they shied away from the traditional colors of scarlet and grey. The black uniforms received mixed reactions on social media, with some loving the bold new style and others absolutely hating the look. “I didn’t like the black uniforms,” said David Dye, who attended Ohio State in 1985. “I’d like to keep it traditional for the most part, some changes to the helmets or shoes are ok but the black was too much.” Students, however, had a much warmer overall reception. “I really liked the black jerseys. I think they looked great and really added to the atmosphere being at the game…I would like to see more stuff like that in the future. But not every game like Oregon, once or twice a year would be cool,” said Zach Burrelli, a first-year at OSU. When looking at flashy uniforms, Oregon is the poster program for changes. It was tallied up that Oregon has had 17,280 uniform

combinations at the end of the 2014 season and that number will only grow. While they don’t place much value in tradition, it is hard to argue with the results. Oregon began adding new uniforms consistently in 1999 and, since then, they have seen a signigicant rise in their levels of recruiting and play on the field. For the Ducks, "look good, play good" is more than a saying but a way of life. In the past several years, many programs such as Baylor, TCU and Maryland have started adding more uniform options to their collections and have seen some increase in play as well. While it is too early to say that there is a direct causation, it is easy to see how it could have an effect on recruits. Other coaches, including Urban Myer, have taken notice. When Meyer was asked about the changes, he emphasized that, at first, the idea of change didn’t appeal to him. However, after seeing the designs, he acknowledged the effect that they could have. All schools that have a winning tradition on the field also have a winning tradition when it comes to recruiting, teams are willing to do whatever they can to get a leg up on the competition. Some alumni didn’t completely love the

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

uniforms but, like Meyer, were also able to see the value. “I loved the jerseys, hated the helmets,. They were God-awful. I understand that the kids like them though and it can help with recruiting,” said Rodger Redd, OSU class of 1987. “They should do it [for] one or two big games a year.” Whether you loved or hated the uniforms that the Buckeyes took the field in on “Black

Saturday,” Ohio State isn’t simply changing for the sake of change. They will, however, do whatever it takes to remain competitive, including a specialty uniform every once in a while. Urban and company will continue trying to protect the most sacred Buckeye tradition there is: winning. •

VIBRANTLY RAW

NATIVE COLD PRESSED CO-OWNER TALKS TRAVEL, PASSION & JUICE

icole Salvo and Erin Thacker bring a variety of raw, organic foods and cold-pressed juices to an eager Columbus audience with Native Cold Pressed. The company’s two owners are as passionate about this juice as they are about life. “It was really important to me that whatever I did, I wanted to be passionate about it,” said Salvo, co-owner of Native Cold Pressed. “I was like, ‘I just really want to love what I do’. So I went to Thailand, not expecting to find what I found.” What she found was a community. A raw lifestyle. Juice. Salvo takes almost 15 minutes describing her first experience with juicing — the fervor she has for the topic is apparent and contagious

What Salvo and Thacker sought was a simple concept: something bottled in glass, something that would last, something that was convenient for customers and something that was crafted — raw, organic, cold-pressed and locally sourced. as she gushes. “Everything was so much more vibrant [in Thailand] and so my body and my mind went through so many changes from eating raw and juicing a lot ... it was like candy. My body ended up needing it every day,” she said. Taking this newfound lifestyle from Thailand to America, Salvo brought this knowledge back to Ohio by making her own juice concoctions in her kitchen. From there, she met Thacker at a yoga retreat where a friendship grew and fate continued to intervene. It turned out they each had the same dream of opening a juice bar. “We made a vision board for this business, we put a word up on a board, and pictures, and we’d see it every day so it would always be in

our attention, in our mind,” Salvo said. “All of these different things happened that led us to this place and I think because we were fervently seeking it, it also was seeking us.” What Salvo and Thacker sought was a simple concept: something bottled in glass, something that would last, something that was convenient for customers and something that was crafted — raw, organic, cold-pressed

and locally sourced. The two took about a year in their “Juice Lab” concocting recipes, creating each recipe themselves with inspiration from their juicing roots. ‘Cooling Herb’ was inspired by a recipe Thacker learned after her diagnosis with a heart condition at age 24. ‘Sweet Beet’, ‘Vanilla Coconut Shake’ and ‘Spicy Carrot’ were inspired by Salvo’s time in Thailand. The pair created a simple-concept menu focusing on greens, beets, and carrots.

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

With more than two years in the Columbus community, their concept exists through 18 standard juices, as well as seasonal juices, shots and other raw food items. Salvo said a lot of heart goes into everything they create. “We’re not pouring milk out of a carton, we’re hand squeezing it,” she said. At Native Cold Pressed, their juice is sourced from 100 percent organic ingredients, when can be especially

It was really important to me that whatever I did, I wanted to be passionate about it,” said Salvo, co-owner of Native Cold Pressed. “I was like, ‘I just really want to love what I do. important since juice does not need to be digested in the same ways as solid food, therefore any pesticides or GMOs present would be quickly absorbed and sent to the bloodstream, potentially harming the body. Each glass bottle houses a 100 percent raw product, which means the product is pressed in its most nutrient-dense form. Each juice lasts between three to five days and contains roughly three pounds of produce — never heated, never pasteurized and packed with live enzymes, nutrients, and minerals. This company starts with juice but it was built on more than that, Salvo said. “We built this company on living a healthy lifestyle,” Salvo said. “We (Thacker and I) connected with yoga, we both experienced a lot of life change through yoga. And we experienced a lot of life change through eating healthy and juicing … and faith has so much to do with it, it’s the other piece of our health. Our spiritual life, our prayer life and just clearing ourselves out daily.” What started for Salvo and Thacker as “a dream and high hopes and passion” has turned into a juice bar that celebrated two years in February, calling The Short North home. •

At Home: Corned beef and cabbage might be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a traditional Irish dish to eat around St. Patrick’s Day, but that dish is not, in fact, Irish. Educate yourself and your taste buds and stick to a hearty, traditional dish. Shepard’s pie is the perfect St. Patrick’s Day meal, made with creamy potatoes, lamb and a mixture of veggies. If you are a bit skeptical about lamb, you can substitute ground beef or turkey.

Recipe:

IRISH EATS

Celebrating St. Patty’s Day with tradition By Ashley Wilkinson

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 pound lamb 1 onion, diced 3 large carrots, sliced ½ inch thick 1 cup peas 1 cup corn 1 tablespoon butter 1 glass red wine (another glass for drinking while cooking) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 cup beef stock 1 cups mashed potatoes (to be made in advanced) 1 beaten egg

1. In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil over high heat. Sauté the onions and carrots until slightly tender (about two minutes). 2. Add the lamb and season with pepper. Cook until fully brown, making sure to dispose of extra oil/fat. Add peas, corn and flower. Fully mix in. 3. When lamb is fully cooked, add the wine, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Lower heat to medium and let reduce for five minutes. After slightly reduced, add the beef stock and continue to reduce until the mixture is gravy-like. 4. Grease a 9 by 13 glass dish with butter. Add the lamb mixture and top with mashed potatoes. Pour the beaten egg evenly over the dish. In a 400 degree heated oven, bake for 20 minutes or until the top of the potatoes are golden brown. This recipe yields 4-6 servings, so enjoy with friends!

On the town: Looking for somewhere to go to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? In Ireland, local pubs usually serve fish and chips, burgers, and, of course, a lot of Guinness. There are many Irish Pubs in the Columbus area, but few are close to the real thing. After much searching, I believe I have found the best Irish pub that stands true to it’s name. The pub is called “The Claddagh,” located at 585 South Front Street. Here are some plates served at The Claddagh that scream, “Eat me, I’m Irish”:

Irish Beef Stew Tender, braised beef mixed in with carrots, mushrooms and onions soaking in a wine sauce.

Shepard’s Pie Made with both beef and lamb, this Shepard’s Pie is a raging hit for Irish food lovers. Served with soda bread, which is sweet and dense.

Guinness Macaroni and Cheese Do I dare say more? This baked macaroni and cheese dish is made with Guinness beer cheese, bacon and a cracker topping. If you’ve never had beer cheese, you have not lived.

Fish and Chips An Irish pub is not complete without this Irish food staple. The fish and chips served at The Claddagh is made with cod and battered with a delicious Irish Ale.

As for the atmosphere, it looks very similar to pubs in Ireland (I visited Ireland a few years ago). Although the overall atmosphere is warm with stone and wood finishes, there are bright, colorful decorations on the wall. The Claddagh always plays traditional Irish music and sometimes has dancing. On Sundays, visit the restaurant to enjoy live traditional music, instrumental music or local alternative bands. •

COMFORT FOOD

COMFORTING COMMUNITY Local restaurant supports non-profit work in Columbus

ouble Comfort, located at 505 N. High St., puts a twist on Southern cooking. Think Paula Dean with less butter and the spice Bobby Flay brings to his cuisine. I had the opportunity to sit down with Double Comfort’s general manager, Jason Miller, to experience the comfort that they bring to each and every one of their customers. “We are a ‘from scratch’ kitchen,” he said. While Jason put in a order of their Chef Dan’s Spicy Mac N’ Cheese, made by Chef Dan Varga, and House Smoked Bacon Ribs for me to try, he also poured me a generous glass of Malbec. Not only did I feel right at home, the ambiance of Double Comfort’s design was cozy as homemade touches were sprinkled on just about everything. While the food was being prepared, Jason caught me up to speed on Double Comfort’s background and how they buy a lot of their food locally. “Any money invested locally stays local. It builds our local economy first and helps small local business like ourselves. We buy Gerber chicken, which is a double win because it’s local and the best,” he said. “Another example would be working with Franklinton Gardens. We buy what they have left at days end, so they have no waste.” They also support North Market Spices, Middle West Spirits and Watershed to give back locally to the Columbus community, he told me. Double Comfort started with owner Mary Lynsky. She began working for Children’s Hunger Alliance and Saint Stevens Community House Foundation, which provides emergency assistance to those in need, in town and was inspired to start her own business with the purpose of

raising more money to donate to those in need. Not only is Mary passionate, so is the rest of her staff at Double Comfort. A percentage of the money made from each meal sold is donated and the waiters and waitresses also donate a portion of their tips to those in need. Double Comfort offers an appealing

Many of us have heard stories from our parents of what college was like before the Internet. Fortunately, imagining it is the only way we have to experience it.

hile most students are experts at technology and navigating cyberspace, too many still underutilize one of the greatest mobile tools we have at our fingertips: apps. The phrase, “There’s an app for that,”

has become more of a fact than just a catchy saying. There is even an app that lets you check into places you’ve used the bathroom to share comments and information with your friends (Places I’ve Pooped). As great as that sounds, the overload of options can hide some of the gems that are truly useful.

MAKING THE MOST OF MOBILE

Notability is one of my favorite notetaking apps on my tablet. It has a userfriendly interface that lets you sort notes into colored folders to stay organized. You can write by hand with a stylus or type out your

notes. The best part is you can download PDFs from the Internet (or Carmen) and write or type directly on them. You can easily annotate your notes during class or just draw a doodle of Brutus punching a wolverine — the options are endless.

Most of us should be familiar with Google Drive by now and probably use it often for the never-ending parade of group projects we have to put together. If you’re going mobile, however, I would suggest the app. You can get the app on both your phone and tablet and it is much easier to access and navigate than using it through a mobile web browser.

For underclassmen (or upperclassmen who have put it off as long as possible), it is likely that you will have to take a foreign language. Duolingo is great for increasing your vocabulary and preparing you for tests and exams. The lessons can be as short as you want them to be and dozens of languages are available.

Few things are worse than making the works cited page on that 15-page paper you have. APA, MLA, Chicago Style — who has time to memorize all that? Simplify that with Easybib. The benefit of using the Easybib app over its normal web page is that you can scan the barcode of any book and it will cite it for you.

Tired of carrying around hundreds of flashcards? StudyBlue has pre-loaded decks of cards for just about any subject you can think of, and it also lets you customize your own card decks for when your studying needs that personal touch.

Money. Money. Money. The old trope of the poor college student exists for a reason. Between food, books, entertainment, rent and … other activities … many students have a lot of money going out and not as much as they’d like coming in. As boring and tedious as budgeting may sound, it can be very helpful. Mint makes it even easier to sort your spending by tagging transactions and keeping track of your spending so you have that extra weekend cash.

Because we all need Netflix everywhere we go. •

Furniture Finds: Thrift & Vintage Shops in Columbus By Tamika Smith

ne of the greatest feats as a young adult and college student is obtaining your own apartment or house. There’s nothing like getting away from unlikeable and rather peculiar dormmates that you may or may not have encountered while living on campus and starting over in a new place. While it seems like all smiles and rainbows when you initially sign the lease on your first off-campus home, you soon come to realize that all you have to put in your new pad is a coffee pot, some Ramen noodles, a bed and a desk – maybe. Surely it’s the couches, chairs, wall art, lamps and other decorative items that really make your apartment feel like a home. But as most college students aren’t millionaires, or even financially stable, furniture items are usually not a part of the budget. Luckily, not all furniture stores near the campus area will leave you penniless … if you know where to look. Vintage shops. Vintage boutiques, which are in abundance in the Short North and campus area, are great places to find furniture. These shops usually have an array of items from couches to art and lamps, all spanning from various decades. Vintage shops are great for those who want a unique look to their apartment, really cool, laid back and fairly inexpensive in comparison to brand new items. Some really cool vintage shops near campus include Cinda Lou, Flower Child and Mary Catherine’s Antiques. Thrift Shops.

You’re never too good to do a little shopping at a thrift store. *Cue Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop”* In fact many rare and expensive products can be found in thrift stores for a discounted price of anywhere from 50 to 80 percent. Many thrift stores offer not only clothing but household items like tables, lamps and kitchenware. Thrift stores located near campus include: Goodwill Columbus and Out of the Closet Thrift Store.

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Department Stores. When you shop for furniture at a distinct furniture store you most likely end up paying the maximum value for your furniture. Shopping at department stores that sell various items from clothing to electronics as well as furniture will usually get you a better deal. Retailers like Walmart and Target offer tons of household items that are quite discounted in comparison to retailers that are strictly geared towards selling furniture like Ikea. Set your budget, stick to it and get shoppin’!

House vs Apartment

by Caitlin Essig

So, you’re finally kissing the dorms goodbye — great! Now what?

f you’re like the majority of college students, you’ve probably been counting down the days until you can get your own place. You can’t wait to have your own room and no rules, but you don’t really know how to get there just yet. When you’re picking your off-campus living situation, it is so important to make the choice that’s best for you. What works for your best friend or your current roommate might not work for you, and that’s okay. It’s better to make sure you’re in a situation you’re comfortable with, because sometimes even being surrounded by your best friends can’t make a bad living situation worth it. Here are some quick pros and cons of living in a house and living in an apartment, to help you decide what’s right for you.

Living in a house

Pro: You can live with all 10 of your suitemates from freshman year. This is a pro if you all need constant interaction and you hate being alone. Filling a big house means someone is usually home to hang out with you. Con: If you like your own space and getting away from others every once in a while, this will probably be hard on you. Pro: You have space to throw parties. Con: You have to clean up after those parties — and probably buy the beer. Pro: Your bills will likely be pretty cheap if you’re splitting them between a large group of people. Con: You might run into issues, like fighting over the one bathroom, and the house will likely get messy easily with more people living in it. Pro: Rooms tend to be bigger than those in an apartment. Con: They’ll also likely vary in size and desirability of location (basement, first floor, second floor, attic), which can make choosing rooms awkward and uncomfortable.

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Living in an apartment Pro: You’ll have more space to yourself and can easily have alone time. Con: Everyone being on the same floor might feel like a cramped environment. Pro: Apartments are usually a little nicer because the previous tenants probably didn’t throw ragers. Con: You also can’t throw ragers, or really even host pregames if you want to invite more than 10 people. Pro: Apartments aren’t as drafty as big, old houses, so even if you’re splitting the bills fewer ways, your gas and electric bills might be lower. (Less room also means fewer lights and less space to heat in the winter and cool in the summer). Con: Loud neighbors. Get used to hearing people walking above you and having sex in the apartment next to you. Pro: Apartments are much easier to keep clean. Con: There’s a better chance of having a small kitchen or lack of storage space. At the end of the day, you just have to choose the situation that’s best for you. If you’re lucky, you’ll get it right the first time and not have to move again during your time at Ohio State. Many, if not most, students will move a couple of times over the years (or even every year of college) and it gets really old — the gaps in between leases are awkward and packing seriously sucks. Hopefully, you’ll find harmony in your decision and be one of the lucky few who can just stay put. Happy house (or apartment) hunting!

Cut ting By Michael Mckelvey

the Cord

in 2016

ach year, we get more and more options for streaming television directly to our TV’s and leave people wondering why they need cable. Well truthfully you probably don’t anymore. Wading into the world of mobile apps, streaming devices and services can be very confusing at first but what is the difference in these services. More importantly, what do I need to get my fix of "Game of Thrones" and "New Girl"? Cutting the cord and going to streaming instead of cable is sort of like extreme couponing. Sure you can save yourself a lot of money but you’re going to have to work at it and carefully figure out everything you need. Because if you don’t plan it correctly it can end up costing you more than your cable. First things first, the streaming devices themselves. Streaming devices are things such as Apple Tv, Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire, Xbox and Playstation to name some of the big ones. All of these are a one time entry fee (anywhere from $35-500)

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

and for the most part they do the same thing as far as streaming is concerned. They connect to the internet and stream video through their available apps. Things like ESPN, HBO Go, Netflix are some of what you will find. Figure out if they let you access whatever services you need, pick one and never look back at rest. Or if you’re happy simply plugging your computer into your TV, you really don’t even need any of them. Perfect! So I can just grab one of those devices and watch shows to my heart’s content. Well, no. You still need to have subscriptions to whatever services you want to get. Netflix - $8, HBO Go - $15, Hulu Plus - $12 , Amazon Prime - $99, with other things like Fox Now and ESPN still require a cable subscription. This is really where your costs will start to add up if you’re not careful. If you can limit it to one or two of your favorites you should be good however. If you still need your sports fix and need ESPN you can look into Sling TV. Unlike the rest Sling lets you stream live tv from several cable channels such as ESPN, AMC, Cartoon Network and several others for $20 a month. Finally, don’t forget about all the free options that network and cable channels provide. If you can wait a week or two, you can find most of your favorite primetime shows for free on their websites.

Life Like The Movies

By Madison Durham

Whether you’re moving out of the dorms for the first time or you’re finally getting out of your parents’ house and (insert cliché about striking out on your own here), you’ve probably heard a few things about what living off-campus is like. You’ve heard the landlord horror stories; you’ve seen the dilapidated houses in all their overpriced glory. It’s also more than likely that you had some preconceived notions about off-campus life before you even got to college, and these movies might be to thank for that. Here are some examples that may (or may not…) reflect what living off-campus is like.

Animal House The obvious answer, I know, but it’s a classic for a reason. No other movie about college life has been so influential in driving stereotypes, and it’s also probably the reason you knew what a toga party was way before you even set foot on campus. Whether or not this lifestyle appeals to you—constant drinking and heavy partying, for the uninitiated—you can be sure that if you asked one of your parents about living off-campus, this movie probably came up. Neighbors Whether you’re the frat house or the unwitting people next door, this movie covers all its bases for representing off-campus life. You might be the quiet, friendly people who just want to get a good night’s sleep, or you might be the wild partiers determined to drink until 6 a.m. rolls around. Either way, it’s very likely that you’ll find yourself annoyed at some point by whichever group you’re not a part of. Just make sure not to get caught when you’re glaring angrily out your window. Legally Blonde Yes, it’s a movie about law school, but has any movie ever depicted so flawlessly every stereotype about sorority girls living together? I think not! Elle’s life was pretty ridiculous pre-Harvard, and her off-campus experience, while perhaps not exactly attainable as we don’t live in California and not many of us can boast in-ground hot tubs, was pretty true to life early in the movie. Case and point: that incredibly relatable moment when Elle was studying with her friend in her house and a group of frat guys ran past with a keg, and she stared after them wistfully. Believe me: that will happen. The Prince & Me Hear me out on this one. Yes, the majority of the plot of this movie centers on the prince in disguise, but it also features a lot of depictions of college life that are pretty accurate. Wandering out to bars with the roomies, watching movies with textbooks in hand. Going home for a free meal every once in awhile. And, it does a great job of portraying dorm life as cramped quarters with bunk beds galore, which makes you appreciate the spacious off-campus apartment by contrast.

1870 MAGAZiNE • MARCH 2016 • 1870NOW.COM

Whether you’re on the Animal House end of the spectrum or you’re cowering in your room, trying to ignore the pounding bass that’s coming through the walls, living off-campus is pretty amazing, and the one thing that all the movies have in common is the sense of freedom living off-campus provides. So get out there, sign your lease, and bask in the glory of drafty hallways, moldy ceilings and creaky floorboards for the year to come. Trust me, it’s going to be great.

Off campus housing: Things I wish I would've known I moved off-campus my second year at Ohio State, but I lived with my same two freshman year roommates. We actually just moved across the street from our former dorm into an apartment, so it wasn’t the most dramatic “off-campus” move of all time. My third year, I made a move that actually felt like I wasn’t living on campus. We added three more roommates and moved to a house that was about a 15-minute walk from the Union. As a sophomore who had already moved off campus once, I thought it would be easy to quickly find the perfect house. It wasn’t quite that simple. The process of finding a place to rent offcampus should be one you take seriously since this decision is one you will have to deal with for at least a full year. Below are some tips to keep in mind when choosing where to live, the people to live with and picking an apartment or house that meets your needs (and some of your wants).

Georgina Pinou

Do your research on different realtors around campus and read reviews about different landlords. Some companies offer all utilities included, or the option to get a discount if you sign your lease by a certain date. Consider class commute. Depending on where your classes are, think about how much time you want to spend walking to that area. Consider even if you love that house all the way on south campus but have all your classes on north, that 15-20 minute walk in the dead of winter might not be the most fun. Also, check to see if a COTA or CABS bus has a stop by your house, which might make the commute easier on you. Roommate roundup. Pick your roommates based on people you know you have easily lived with in the past, or people that have similar living styles to you. Although it might be awesome to live with your best friend, if he/she is all about having people over on weeknights and you are more low-key, this could cause problems for your friendship that might have never occurred if you just hadn’t lived together. Utilize utilities. Some key points to think about, especially if you are paying for utilities, could be questions like, “how many windows does the house have?” or “how old is the house?”, since the draftiness will cause your heat bill to sky rocket in the winter. Does the landlord provide free maintenance? How is the rent paid, and who will be in charge of making the payments for the various bills? It’s way different living off campus when there are multiple bills you will have to keep track of.
