Golsby pleads not guilty in Reagan Tokes case NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu Brian Lee Golsby’s lawyer entered a not-guilty plea for his client on Monday at his arraignment in Franklin County Common Pleas Court, where he was officially read his 18-count indictment related to the murder of an Ohio State student as well as a series of robberies in German Village.

Golsby, 29, was handed an 18-count indictment by a grand

jury on Friday in connection with the Feb. 8 robbery, rape and murder of Reagan Tokes, a fourth-year in psychology, as well as a string of robberies in German Village.

Tokes was last seen leaving her shift at Bodega Cafe in the Short North on the Wednesday evening when prosecutors say Golsby kidnapped her. Her body was later found at Scioto Grove Metro Park in Grove City with gunshot wounds.

Golsby was originally arraigned in Franklin County Municipal

Court, where it was decided he would be held without bond.

Monday’s arraignment served as an official notice of his updated indictments, some of which he could face the death penalty for, the grand jury decided Friday.

Once again, as decided Monday, he is being held until his trial without bond.

Golsby had been released from prison less than three months before Tokes’ death, where he served a sentence for robbery and attempted rape.

Black Beatles in Columbus

After last week’s death penalty announcement, the Tokes family released a statement where they blamed what they called a broken system for Reagan Tokes’ death.

“We cling to our steadfast faith for the strength and guidance to persevere for justice, no matter how difficult the journey is,” the statement read. “In addition, we will continue to seek out and fight for change to the system. Based on the facts, the system is severely broken. Our daughter suffered and lost her life as a result.”

Toby Tokes, Reagan’s father, was at the arraignment but declined to comment to the media afterward.

Franklin County Brian Lee Golsby Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said the Tokes family informed him they would fly from Florida to be present for all court proceedings.

Third-annual Sustainability Fair kicks off ‘Time for Change Week’ RIS TWIGG Lantern reporter twigg.10@osu.edu Time for Change Week opened with Undergraduate Student Government’s third-annual Sustainability Fair in the Ohio Union on Monday.

More than 40 environmental groups set up interactive booths featuring their sustainability efforts across campus and Columbus, including both student and nonprofit organizations. Nearly 750 students attended the fair, a 50-percent increase from last year’s attendance, said USG sustainability deputy director Tyler Hoerst, a fourth-year in environment, economy, development and sustainability.

RIS TWIGG Lantern reporter twigg.10@osu.edu As pollinators continue on a path toward endangerment, one student organization hopes to explain how bees’ increasing death rate affects human livelihood.

On Tuesday, Students for a Sustainable Campus is set to host an event called “We Can Bee Better,” featuring a panel of with Ohio State professors, beekeepers and a co-owner of Columbus’ Brothers Drake Meadery.

“This issue of pollination, as well as a lot of environmental issues, is a lot more complex than we realize,” said Michelle Wentling, president of the organization and a third-year in English. “(Pollinator decline) is going to affect our lives in so many ways people don’t realize.”

Animals which are pollinators transfer pollen from flower to flower in the pursuit of nectar for food and, in the case of bees, honey-making. This allows the flowers to create offspring and bear fruit, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

“The biggest thing we can do is provide more flowers in the landscape ... And let weedy things in lawns grow, like clover and dandelions. Bees love those things.”

Reed Johnson

Assistant professor, entomology

But without pollinators, the prices of some food could increase, and some specialty foods could even disappear, said Reed Johnson, assistant professor of entomology.

“You wouldn’t be able to buy almonds at the supermarket without honeybees,” Johnson said.

“Pumpkins … and other vine plants benefit from bee pollination as well, so carving your jack-o’lantern is a benefit of bees.”

Not only is food a perk of pollinators, but so is alcohol.

touts locally sourced, raw wildflower honey as a main ingredient in its mead, is to be represented on the panel by Sarah Benary, its co-owner. Once collected from a hive, the honey is fermented with a variety of fruits and spices, giving each batch of mead its own individual flavor, Benary said.

Benary said her business works with beekeepers to harvest high-quality honey. But the more problems beekeepers have with raising bees, the more expensive honey becomes.

“And the harder it is for us to pay for honey, the more people are going to be paying for mead,” she said.

Brothers Drake offers tours of its meadery, and Benary said patrons are paying attention to problems bees are facing.

“Every time I’ve done a tour, somebody’s asked about (the pollinator problem), so I think it’s very much on people’s minds and they’re hearing about it from somewhere” Benary said. “Even the Cheerios campaign is on it.”

Business owners and professors agreed that protecting the vulnerable insects is vital to maintaining both the food system and economy, but tackling that problems can be hard.

“Keeping bees 50 years ago was kind of like keeping a bird feeder,” Johnson said. “You set it out there, and they do their thing.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s time to organize against the ‘global gag rule’ We all have reasons to fear what President Donald Trump will do to reproductive health care in the United States. Trump has said he will give “some form of punishment” for anyone who has an abortion. He has further signaled that he will defund Planned Parenthood. Finally, he has promised a Supreme Court justice who will overturn Roe v. Wade “automatically.”

Although we at Ohio State should be concerned about what Trump plans do to reproductive health care here in Ohio, we should also be horrified by what he has already done to reproductive health care and family planning services around the world.

Just days into his presidency, Trump imposed a radically expanded version of the “global gag rule.” This deeply cruel and dangerous policy cuts off funding to foreign health organizations that use their own independent money to do abortion-related work or advocacy. Supporters of the “global gag rule” claim they want to reduce the number of abortions, but report after report has found that the “global gag rule” does the opposite. Under President George W. Bush’s version of the “global gag rule,” studies showed a steady

Organizing against the expanded “global gag rule” is urgent.

Feminists in the United States need to stand in solidarity with feminists around the world who deserve to be in control of their reproductive lives. All people deserve access to contraception and abortion, as well as the right to have children. Reproductive justice includes opposing forced sterilization and population control efforts that have historically targeted women of color and people with disabilities.

The new version of the “global

gag rule” means millions more individuals will be unable to access even the most basic reproductive health care. The result of this policy will be more unwanted pregnancies, more individuals turning to unsafe abortion services and many preventable deaths.

We must believe that anti-reproductive health policies that Trump and Vice President Mike Pence attempt to impose overseas will be coming here to the United States next. In fact, those policies are already here. In Ohio, new laws restricting funding for reproductive health organizations are based on ‘GAG RULE’ CONTINUES ON 3

But today’s massive die-offs tell a different story. According to surveys of colonies in 2014 and 2015, 42.1 percent of bee colonies died, up 34.2 percent from the previous year, with a larger majority of bee deaths occurring in the summer, the Department of Agriculture reported.

Johnson said that during the April and May corn planting season in Ohio, insecticides are released into the soil, contributing to the summer bee deaths.

Although Johnson doesn’t think bees are in danger of going extinct anytime soon, the pollinators still face a slew of problems, aside from insecticides. From diseases to blood-sucking mites that kill colonies, beekeeping has become increasingly difficult, he said.

But people can mitigate some of the problems by doing simple things to their yard, he said.

“The biggest thing we can do is provide more flowers in the landscape,” Johnson said. “And let weedy things in lawns grow, like clover and dandelions. Bees love those things.”

Also in attendance at this year’s fair was Roll, a bicycle shop that builds custom bikes in three models: adventure, city and sport, according to its website. Students rode a stationary bike attached to a computer that calculated the miles per hour the rider pedaled, with the fastest pedaler receiving a prize.

Hong Kui Chen, a third-year in pharmaceutical sciences and bike commuter, stopped by the booth to see how fast he could pedal.

“I came (to the sustainability fair) to make myself aware of what’s going on in the world right

now and find out what I can do as a hu man being to make the world a better place, honestly,” he said.

Chen said he bikes everywhere — even though his car is on campus — as a way to reduce his environmental impact.

Shefali Ferguson, a third-year in biology, said a classmate of her’s was working at the Sustainability Fair, which prompted her to attend as well.

“We’re all in college, so we all like free things,” Ferguson said. “I think it’s a really cool way to reach out to different people when you have a bunch of different groups in one place, like the involvement fair at the beginning of the year.”

Ferguson said taking steps to improve the health of the planet and live more sustainably can be done through small, simple actions each day.

“So, if we all do the easy thing — like turn two steps over and throw things in the recycling bin or try not to waste food, stuff like that — then we’ll all kind of make a smaller difference,” she said.

Turning Point has no place on campus There’s a conservative group on campus that has been caught in a rash of scandals lately, but there’s something more nefarious at play with the group.

The conservative group Turning Point OSU’s parent organization, Turning Point USA, was found to be allegedly funneling money to help fund USG elections that would be favorable for Turning Point USA’s agenda, according to an investigation by The Lantern. The two candidates allegedly being funded by the Turning Point USA money dropped out a few days before USG elections took place.

After the campaign funding, which allegedly violated campaign finance bylaws regulating the amount that campaigns can accept, was unearthed, it became known that an Ohio State student and member of Turning Point OSU wore a shirt that read “Socialism is for F*gs” (with the “i” in fig suspiciously censored) at an official Turning Point USA event. In addition to the troublesome language, the shirt bore the face of Marxist Che Guevara with a limp wrist, an old bigoted signifier of someone being gay. It is crystal clear the shirt was meant to be homophobic and to disparage those in the LGBT community, not the pathetic excuse given

by Turning Point OSU that the shirt says “fig” because Guevara was captured in La Higuera — which translates into The Fig Tree. We do not buy that excuse.

In addition, Turning Point OSU’s parent organization runs a twisted website named “Professor Watchlist.” This

How can we continue to allow such a group on campus that tries to secretly fund USG campaigns, is outwardly homophobic, and is completely fine with a parent organization that targets professors?

A Turning Point OSU member is pictured wearing a questionable shirt. website is not an analog to the popular Rate My Professors, but a website used to track “specific incidents and names of professors that advance a radical agenda in lecture halls.” This is incredibly disturbing and unacceptable considering this sort of website can be used to intimidate, harass and even physically injure professors across the nation, let alone OSU, for simply having “non-conservative” views. Not to mention, this website can be used to target professors of foreign descent and used to target Jewish and Muslim professors — an occurrence that has become far too common in our country. We fear for our professors and friends, and only wish for them to be able to teach without worrying they could end up on a “watchlist” for simply teaching their courses.

How can we continue to allow such a group on campus that tries to secretly fund USG campaigns, is outwardly homophobic, and is completely fine with a parent organization that targets professors? If students and others want to organize a group funded by shadowy outside money whose goals are to interfere in university politics and create a climate of fear among professors and whose ac-

tions are hostile to LGBT Buckeyes, then it is their right to do so. But OSU has no obligation to grant such an organization legitimacy and resources through official recognition. In fact, we believe that these goals run directly counter to the goals of student organizations, which include enhancing the academic experience, increasing participation in student self-government and fostering community engagement.

As co-presidents of the Young Democratic Socialists at OSU, we ask the Office of Student Life to revoke Turning Point OSU’s club membership for the safety our of professors and fellow students.

Studies show that when individuals can make their own family planning decisions their finances, health and overall well-being improve. Current U.S. funding for family planning services abroad has prevented more than 2 million abortions and averted 12,000 maternal deaths.

Every $10 million cut to family planning support results in 39,000 more abortions and 200 more maternal deaths. If we want to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, we should invest more, not less, into international family planning.

A feminist movement for reproductive justice must be an international struggle.

Our activism must be rooted in the idea of bodily autonomy and come out of a deep understanding of how racism, transphobia, settler-colonialism, ableism and heteropatriarchy impact our reproductive lives. We cannot afford to downplay the “global gag rule,” or our responsibility to act against it. Our time to act is now, and this is where we begin.

Universites elminate scales, Live Art in the Union RPAC offers other solutions TIA WILLIAMS Lantern reporter williams.4342@osu.edu The number on the scale can’t define a person if there isn’t a number at all.

Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, removed the scale from its fitness center in March because scales are “not considered a good health marker,” Bruce Marshall, manager of wellness programs at the university, said in a statement, accoding to Today.com.

In the university’s campus newspaper, The Charlatan, a student defended the decision, saying scales can be “triggering” for those who struggle with eating disorders.

While other universities’ fitness centers are following suit — a gym at California State, Chico removed its scales for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, for example — one Ohio State eating disorder expert said OSU and the RPAC offer other solutions for those who might be triggered by the scale.

Dr. Kate Adkins, senior staff therapist and chair of the Eating Disorder Treatment Team on campus, said she and her team encourage those with eating disorders to control weighing behaviors by working with a team of professionals to construct individualized plans.

“That might involve avoiding scales,” Adkins said. “Some of our students with

SHADES, an Ohio State organization that aims to empower LGBTQ students of color, will host its first-ever talent show, QPoC Talent Show, on Wednesday.

tions of what their appropriate weights are, holding on to their high school or teenage weight.

“There are a lot of strategies that people with eating disorders use to reduce anxiety,” Adkins said. “It might be things like body checking, like touching parts of their bodies such as their stomach, their thighs or their arms as a way of constant reassurance, and weighing is another strategy.”

Carleton University came under fire on social media for removing the scale with students using the hashtag #bringbackthescale on Twitter. The university responded saying it removed them to hopefully encourage students to look at other indicators of health, besides weight, Today.com reported.

“It’s not a simple issue,” Adkins said.

“There are benefits and limitations to both having access and not having access to a scale. Weight is only one indicator of health. There is an obsession on weight as a health indicator in a really unhealthy way.”

measurements of health than just weight, because they take height and muscle into consideration as well, Socha said.

“The RPAC offers a skin caliper which can be used to calculate body fat percentage and BMI,” Socha said. “The Physical Activity and Education Services building, connected to the RPAC, has additional scales that can be used to calculate BMI and body fat percentage as well.”

The BMI and body fat percentage tests are great resources even for people who don’t have eating disorders, Adkins said.

Regardless, even with these tests, individuals with eating disorders often have unhealthy perceptions of what their appropriate weight and measurements should be.

“I think if you have an eating disorder, the best resource for what a healthy weight is should come from a professional team of a medical provider, a therapist and a dietician that are very individualized,” Adkins said.

Eating disorder resources and consultation services can be found on the Office of Student Life Counseling and Consultation Service website.

47 LGBTQ characters counted from major studio movie releases in 2015, 72.3 percent were white.

“We really want the talent show to be a place for queer people of color to showcase their work,” Gulrajani said. “You don’t really see a lot of those people in media or in music, and when you do they aren’t really given a really big spotlight.”

‘Young Bucks’ drive program into future KYLE MCKINNON Lantern reporter mckinnon.99@osu.edu With seven members of the Ohio State men’s golf team having freshman or sophomore eligibility, underclassmen had to step into key roles early in their college careers.

Freshman Caden Orewiler said the younger group embraces the challenge.

“We honestly view our youth as a positive thing,” he said. “Since we’re all young, we get a lot of time to mature and keep forming friendships and bonds with our teammates. I think the biggest part of team play is forming strong relationships with your teammates.”

Freshman Jeg Coughlin III echoed Orewiler’s sentiment, saying it’s a mentality that motivates the ‘Young Bucks.’

“We call ourselves the ‘Young Bucks,’” Coughlin said. “Being able to drive a program like this really pushes us. We’ve been extremely driven by the fact that we are the young guys in this deal, and it’s pretty cool to drive all of it through the youth movement.”

Driving a program of OSU’s caliber is anything but a cakewalk, though. Given how individualized of a sport golf is, the transition from the junior level to college can often be a difficult one.

“The biggest hurdle is learning that team environment,” Coughlin said. “Take practice, for example. When you’re practicing as a team, even if you don’t agree with something that you’re working on, you have to be all in on it because if it benefits just

Pressure can also make it tough at times to adjust to college-level golf — a difficulty that Orewiler said isn’t easy to overcome.

“There’s not a lot of changes in my play, but I do feel a little more pressure because I’m playing on a bigger stage,” he said.

“Your position on the team isn’t ever really locked up like it normally would be in high

school, either. So, when you walk out on the course, you just feel more pressure.”

Even though there are no captains in golf, OSU coach Jay Moseley put together a leadership council prior to the start of the season — an honor given to sophomore Will Grimmer.

“We have a leadership council that coach Moseley has put in place here,” Grimmer

said. “It consists of redshirt senior Max Rosenthal, redshirt junior Josh Wick and myself. We didn’t have anything like that last year, so with that system in place, it’s really helped our young team.”

Grimmer spearheads the men’s golf program and has emerged as a cornerstone for the Scarlet and Gray. While the youth movement might be in full effect at OSU, Grimmer understands that the ultimate goal of winning a conference championship title remains the same.

“We spent so much time last year talking about winning the Big Ten, that I think we kind of assumed we’d win it,” Grimmer said. “OSU has won more conference championships than any other Big Ten school, we haven’t won a Big Ten Championship in about 13 years, so we’re ready to change that.”

With three events left on their schedule, the Buckeyes will attempt to end the regular season strong before the Big Ten Championships begin in April.

Wilson’s impact on running back position JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu The Ohio State football team’s bread and butter has always been the running game. Adding coach Urban Meyer just made the ground attack that much more dynamic.

Carlos Hyde and Ezekiel Elliott were the latest members of a dominant fraternity of running backs to come from OSU. 1955 Heisman Trophy winner Howard “Hopalong” Cassidy, 1995 Heisman winner Eddie George and two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin highlight a litany of ball carriers that have become some of the best to play college football.

While Meyer has reshaped OSU’s running game into one that dominates with speed rather than power, co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Kevin Wilson comes to Columbus with an equally impressive track record of developing running backs that he’ll look to apply in his first year with the Buckeyes.

“He’s been putting in a few plays that I’ve been asking for last year that he brought in to the table,” Weber said. “He runs the ball more and finds different schemes to run the ball ‘cause he’s more of a grit guy. He’s coached a lot of grit backs in the past, and that’s

Ohio State co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson is influencing running backs in his first season in Columbus something, as running backs, we appreciate.”

Wilson, a 27-year coaching veteran, has spent his entire collegiate career as an offensive-minded coach. He never worked specifically with the running backs, but as head coach at Indiana from 2011-16 and offensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 2002-10, Wil-

son can be at least partially credited with the development of NFL running backs Tevin Coleman, Jordan Howard, Adrian Peterson and DeMarco Murray.

Wilson said he’s not planning on changing anything to the offense currently in place, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t already began to implement his style to each

position group. Running backs coach Tony Alford said the only change is the tempo of play.

“I mean if we play faster, there’s going to be more plays,” Alford said. “If there’s more plays, there’s more opportunities. If you look at it in that vein, I guess it would change, because you got more opportunities, you got more

plays going on.”

Since 2004, only once has a Wilson-led offense averaged less than 70 plays per game, and last season his Indiana team was 11th in the country averaging 82 plays per game. In seven of the past 14 seasons, Wilson’s rushing attack has been ranked in the top 35 in rushing yards per game.

Weber is the reigning Thompson-Randle El Big Ten Freshman of the Year and likely the second-best back in the conference behind Penn State’s Saquon Barkley. After eclipsing 1,000 yards and scoring nine touchdowns in his first season playing for the Buckeyes, Weber’s production and overall game could see an added boost with Wilson at the helm.

“Our thing is to, one: Take what’s been the best offense in college football … and see how we do things,” Wilson said after the second spring practice.

“They said to me from start, this is the Ohio State offense and how can we make it better, and we don’t make it better with change.

Change is change. It’s the ability to again, me as the leader of the coaches, to get those guys on the same page, take it to the players, get those guys on the same page.”

MEN’S LACROSSE

Ohio State in midst of brutal schedule COLIN BARRINGER Lantern reporter barringer.36@osu.edu The No. 9 Ohio State men’s lacrosse team (9-2, 0-1 Big Ten) ended its nonconference schedule with three ranked teams — Towson, Denver and Notre Dame. The latter two were No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

Coming off a loss in its first Big Ten game of the year against nowNo. 1 Penn State, the road doesn’t get any easier with four games remaining.

Through their first seven games, the Buckeyes played rather average competition, but since then they have endured a stretch of four-straight ranked opponents, three of them being against the No. 1 team and twice against the No. 2 team. OSU survived that stretch with a 2-2 record, and added a 16-7 emphatic win over No. 1 Denver.

Sometimes the risks of a difficult schedule pay off, but OSU coach Nick Myers said he feels responsible for providing these opportunities for the program.

“One of the tasks that I’m charged with is to create a schedule that prepares you and gives you opportunities, hopefully, at postseason play,” he said. “(Non-

conference teams) are quality opponents that give you an opportunity for quality wins. Getting a couple of those puts us in a decent position as we go into Big Ten play.”

All six teams in the Big Ten are currently ranked in the NCAA top 20 coaches poll. Left on the Buckeyes’ schedule is No. 11 Johns Hopkins, Michigan, No. 6 Maryland and No. 12 Rutgers. Michigan sits just outside the national rankings at No. 21.

While the credit goes to the conference itself, the Buckeyes realize there are more chances to make statements before the conference and NCAA tournaments.

“With what the Big Ten has done this year, we have an incredible challenge and good opportunity with all the teams being ranked,” Myers said.

Not only do these games provide a lot of chances to make statements, but also the ability to help the team grow over the stretch of the season. The younger guys get the chance to become accustomed to high-intensity lacrosse, and the upperclassmen are provided opportunities to grow as leaders.

From a senior’s point of view, as a group, they look for the maturity of the team to grow through the tough battles.

“Our team has come a long way and we have matured a lot, and we’re focusing on ourselves every day like we have since Day One,” senior midfielder Jake Withers said. “We could be playing the No. 1- or No. 70-ranked team in the country, at the end of the day we just have to come Monday through Friday and worry about ourselves.”

Redshirt senior goalie Tom

Carey stressed the importance of taking it all in stride with each individual game.

“It all goes back to focusing on each game, taking it each game at a time, and that starts with having great weeks of practice,” he said.

“It’s something as an older player you start to understand, but our younger guys are starting to buy into that.”

With a tough stretch remaining

in the season, there is no time for the Buckeyes to relax. After already surpassing last season’s win total, the team is hungry to win more and make a name for itself.

Carey suggested the team is motivated to avoid relying on an automatic-qualifier bid to reach the NCAA tournament.
