President Drake transitions into normal schedule From sunny to snowy, his first semester had lots of changes

AMANDA ETCHISON Campus editor etchison.4@osu.edu Trading the sunny campus of the University of California-Irvine for the snow-packed streets of Columbus has not been the only transition President Michael Drake has made since coming to Ohio State.

“At the very beginning, there was so much that was new, that the people that we needed to meet, and in particular, the people that we needed to meet first, were a lot of people. So there were 100 people that I needed to meet first,” Drake said in an editorial meeting with The Lantern on Monday.

Drake, who became OSU’s 15th president on June 30, said the first step in coming to Columbus was making the decision with his wife, Brenda, to leave California and establish a new life in Central Ohio.

“We knew the university was a wonderful opportunity and a great place to be, but we had a whole career already,” Drake said.

“We were looking to say, ‘Gosh, is there something wonderful and special to do?’ The university brought that, but then the question was, ‘Well, what about living in Columbus?

And how do you feel about that?’ That was really the final piece.”

Drake said in addition to moving across the country, he also had to make the switch from UC-Irvine’s quarter system to OSU’s semester system, which left little time to get acquainted with Columbus before meeting with university officials and influencers.

“We actually have never moved as a family like this and that is a thing that takes time and effort and getting things shifted. So we were very busy with those things early on,” he said. “I finished on a quarter system, so we finished with graduation (on June 14)…

Then I started here on June 30. So we had a whole lot to do in those two weeks. And then as a semester system, we started school

right away. The summer was really cut in half, so it was very busy and intense.”

After spending almost 10 years as UC-Irvine’s fifth chancellor, Drake said taking on a leadership role at OSU was a big change.

“I have made transitions in the past … (but), I was transitioning within a certain system where I knew people already, so there wasn’t as much first-time stuff to do,” he said.

One of the things Drake said he missed most from his previous position was the time he was able to spend with students and faculty.

“I would say that what I noticed that I missed was the level of contact that I had been used to having with students and faculty has been demonstratively lower,” he said. “I would say that I had a wonderful life among the handful of the most connected faculty with my students. I appreciate that very much.”

Drake said during his time at UC-Irvine, he was able to co-teach a freshman class, and added that he plans to teach a course at OSU next year.

“Particularly, when I was full-time professoring, that was a role that I relished,” he said. “I will teach a class next year. I didn’t teach a class this year because I was just

University Police start using body cameras JEREMY SAVITZ Lantern reporter savitz.3@osu.edu

OSU President Michael Drake sat down with The Lantern staff during an editorial meeting on Jan. 26. starting, but I will crank out a class to teach next year, which I did every winter and I have been missing that.”

Looking to the future, Drake said he hopes to establish a more “normal and sustainable schedule” so that he can spend more time getting to know students and faculty at OSU. “There were so many people and so many things that were new that what that squeezed a lot was the time that I would spend on the internal part of the university, because I was spending a lot of time on the external part,” he said. “I expect that we will be able to do more of that, and I think that is what we are going to do in the future. (But) I also know that if I see 1,000 students, there are 59,000 I haven’t seen. It is an ongoing thing to do.

“I am looking forward to spending more time with students as we go forward.”

The police force on Ohio State’s campus is testing out new technology that some students say will benefit the university, and at least one study has shown it can help decrease officers using force.

University Police launched a bodyworn camera pilot program for its officers in September. The program is meant to be another resource for evidence collecion, said OSU Administration and Planning spokesman Dan Hedman in an email.

The initial purchase of body-worn cameras was funded by a 2013 Justice Assistance Grant subgrant, Hedman said.

“Since the initial JAG grant, the Division received two additional cameras from an Ohio Department of Public Safety traffic safety grant award,” Hedman added.

Hedman said there are seven body-worn cameras being used by police on OSU’s campus.

The first-year cost of the devices and video storage was $5,893. Any additional costs that extend beyond the $6,300 grants are set to be covered by the University Police’s general fund budget.

Just do it: Now in a group class OSU 1 of 2 schools to debut fitness class sponsored by Nike LEE MCCLORY Design editor mcclory.10@osu.edu

Ohio State isn’t the only university that has a contract with Nike, Inc., but it’s one of only two universities piloting a Nike fitness class this semester.

The course is similar to a boot camp or a body challenge class, but emphasizes teamwork in a group setting, said Alice Adams, fitness programs coordinator at OSU and instructor for the new fitness class.

The class, called Nike Training Club, is held in the RPAC’s South Gym on Wednesdays from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m., and has filled to its maximum of 60 people for the past two weeks the class has been offered, Adams said.

The class was developed by Nike Master Trainers, Nike spokeswoman Lisa Beachy said in an email.

Nike Master Trainers are personal trainers certified by Nike to work with Nike athletes and develop workout plans.

Freshmen take spotlight for Buckeyes vs Terps JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu While the mix on Ohio State men’s basketball roster of freshmen and seniors used to be an unusual combination, it is slowly becoming the norm for college basketball teams.

That particular situation also applies to the No. 16 Maryland Terrapins, the Buckeyes’ opponent Thursday night in Columbus.

The Terrapins, like the Buckeyes, are led by a freshman guard who is surrounded by an experienced supporting cast.

That guard, Melo Trimble, and Buckeye freshman D’Angelo Russell both lead their teams in scoring and take the court with a multitude of experience around them.

One of those experienced players, OSU senior guard Shannon Scott, said Wednesday that while he has given the young Buckeye some advice,

particularly on defense, Russell has been able to learn as the season has progressed.

“I talked to him a little about using his length.

I mean, he’s a 6-5 guard with great arm length.

So I feel like he can have a step on people and still be able to recover and all that stuff, too, so I told him a couple things with that,” Scott said.

“But a lot of it he’s just picking up on his own, just practicing more every day with it.”

Russell, who has shown his ability on offense, said after a win against Indiana on Sunday that he thinks his scoring opens the floor for his teammates.

“I feel like they (Indiana) were putting a lot of pressure on me. They were keying on me,” Russell said. “So it just made it easier for my teammates to step up and do what they do best.

I give credit to all my teammates. They were making shots and finishing.”

OSU coach Thad Matta said Wednesday that

campus Conference encourages Israeli-American students to embrace their identity JEREMY SAVTIZ Lantern reporter savitz.3@osu.edu Ohio State is set to be one of more than 30 universities in attendance at the first Mishelanu National Conference in Los Angeles this weekend.

Mishelanu, which translates to “one of us” in Hebrew, “promotes an active and strong Israeli-American community on college campuses,” according to its website.

More than 150 students from 33 campuses are scheduled to participate in the conference, which will consist of 2 1/2 days of sessions about topics facing Israelis in America and abroad, said Miriam Alpern, the chief marketing and communications officer at the Israeli American Council, which is hosting the Mishelanu conference.

“The Mishelanu program was started to provide IsraeliAmerican college students a place where they can connect with their culture to strengthen their connections to their identities,” Alpern said. “It was started as a way to preserve their cultural identity and to provide them a home away from home.”

While there are many topics and speakers at the conference, Alpern said the main goal is to help people embrace their identity.

“The IAC was formed to not only bring our community together, but the primary driving force is to ensure the next generation preserve their Israeli backgrounds,” she said.

Nike from 1A that’s based on and uses Nike’s Training Club app, but is presented in a group setting with more partner work, Adams said.

The Nike Training Club app is a personal training app that provides workout plans for its users and encourages them to connect with others.

The app has been downloaded 16 million times, Beachy said.

While the class is designed to be challenging, Adams said anyone of any fitness level can join.

Because Nike created the class and the class is still being piloted, Nike is fully involved with the process, Adams said. “(The class) works just like any of our other sponsorship deals that we have with group fitness,” Adams said.

Adams said the RPAC has previously worked with companies like Aveda Salon and Victoria’s Secret Sport.

Although OSU has a current contract with Nike, Adams and Beachy both said the contract had nothing to do with the reason OSU was selected for the contract.

OSU signed three separate seven-year contracts with Nike in August 2007 that were

“Most importantly, that they always continue to support the state of Israel.”

Nofar Golan, the Israel fellow at the OSU Hillel-Wexner Jewish Student Center, said she will be attending the conference and is most looking forward to hearing views from students outside of OSU. “This conference is a great opportunity to meet more people than usual since it’s not only OSU,” Golan said.

“Columbus has a very small Israeli-American community but statewide and nationwide, it’s much larger.”

Three OSU students and Golan are expected to attend the conference.

“All the speakers sound extremely interesting,” Golan said. “The thing that is most important to me is being able to hear different opinions and see how the students will react to the differences between Israeli-American communities at the different schools.”

Tomer Elias, a third-year in economics who grew up in Israel, said although he will not be able to attend the conference, he thinks the event will have an important impact on Israeli-American students at OSU. “I think this conference, from the perspective of OSU, will give students more of an awareness that there are Israelis here,” Elias said. “I think a lot of things Israeli-related kind of get pushed aside, and that’s a big thing we’re trying to change.”

Among the speakers at the event will be Israel’s consulgeneral in Los Angeles, David Siegel, who is set to address

extended last year to last until July 31, 2018.

Those agreements are set to gross OSU nearly $46 million.

During the first class, Nike gave away water bottles and hand towels, Adams said.

Students who attended the third class were given the opportunity to test Nike’s latest cross-training shoes.

Beachy said Nike chose to bring the class to OSU and the University of Texas at Austin because it thought that they were “two of the most physically active campuses in the country.”

The class came at no additional cost to the university, as adding a fitness class happens nearly every semester, said Kristen Smith, assistant director of sponsorship and stewardship for OSU’s Department of Recreational Sports.

Some students said they enjoyed having the opportunity to participate in the class.

“I really liked (the class). I liked the intensity. I would do it again,” said Emma Curtis, a first-year in chemical engineering.

Stephanie Fabry, a third-year in chemistry, said she appreciates the teamwork aspect of the class.

“I liked being partnered up, it was fun to root each other up,” she said.

“We want our community to be actively involved in the American community, giving back to the American community at large. We want to share the love and essence of how we feel about our homeland with everyone else.”

Alpern said she hopes that students come away from the conference inspired to become more involved in their communities.

“We want our community to be actively involved in the American community, giving back to the American community at large,” she said. “We want to share the love and essence of how we feel about our homeland with everyone else.”

“With the idea that everyone is an athlete, the class does attract everyone, from the person who has been in the RPAC

maybe only once in their life to the high school athlete who maybe is just missing that challenge, that competitiveness, whatever they’re looking for,” she said.

Officer body cameras are currently undergoing a pilot program in the OSU Police Department.

Police from 1A

“OSU PD pays for two administrator accounts through a company called TASER, which handles video storage and software maintenance,” Hedman said. “These accounts are $300 (each), per year.”

The use of body-worn cameras at OSU does have some obstacles, though.

According to University Police Special Order 14-09, which provides officers with instructions on when and how to use body-worn cameras, it is prohibited to use the cameras near any patient care areas, which includes areas where patient care is occurring and could be captured, in locker rooms or bathrooms or in encounters with undercover officers or confidential informants.

Morgan Johnson, a third-year in public affairs, said she thinks body-worn cameras are going to have positive effects on the university community.

“There have been a lot of issues that have gotten media attention with police interactions with citizens,” Johnson said.

“I want to see (the university) get involved in something that would impact that situation positively and maybe help find some common ground.”

Johnson launched a petition on Change.org on Dec. 16 with the intent of using University Police’s body-worn cameras as a research model for other universities.

“I wanted to get empirical data as far as the effects of having the body cameras, and how the interactions changed with the camera usage,” Johnson said. “I wanted us to serve as a model as one of the first schools to get involved with this.”

Freshmen from 1A Russell’s vision and ability to create for his teammates is something he has seen before in a former player.

“When we had Jared (Sullinger) that year (2011), it was so fun to coach because if things broke down, you would just scream, ‘Throw it to Jared,’ and you knew he was going to get fouled, he was going to get a great shot, or he was going to find Jon (Diebler), or David (Lighty) or Will (Buford) or whoever it was, something good was going to happen,” Matta said. “I think D’Angelo kind of has that. Into the shot clock he can score, but he also finds guys and makes them better, which is kind of a luxury as a coach to have.”

Russell’s ability to find open teammates was shown by a season-high 10 assists against the Hoosiers.

On the opposing sideline, Trimble brings a similar game to the court, which Matta said the Buckeyes have to be prepared for.

“He makes great decisions. He can score a lot of different ways, he gets to the foul line a lot. He seems to have a great command of his team in terms of getting guys where they need to be,” Matta said. “He makes great reads in transition and he is definitely a handful because of his quickness and ability to shoot the ball.”

Scott leads the Big Ten in assists per game (6.7) and is tied for third in steals per game (2.0), so he will likely draw the task of guarding Trimble throughout the game.

He said Trimble is ahead of his time as a freshman at Maryland.

“He’s a very poised player, he doesn’t get sped up.

He makes the right decision a lot of the time. He takes big shots and makes big shots,” Scott said. “He’s not one of those guys that just tries to fit in, he wants to be the big man on campus and he’s doing a great job with that at Maryland.”

OSU freshman forward Jae’Sean Tate said he saw a similar quality in Russell when they first came to campus.

There has been limited research done regarding the use of body-worn cameras by police officers, but according to a 2014 U.S. Department of Justice study that included data collected in 2012 from the Rialto, Calif., Police Department, there was a 60 percent reduction in officer use-of-force incidents and an 88 percent reduction of citizen complaints.

Vikas Munjal, a first-year in public health, said he thinks the addition of body cameras will be beneficial to students, and added that recent interactions between OSU students and City of Columbus police officers reinforce the need for video documentation of events.

In the early morning hours of Jan. 13 after the OSU football National Championship victory over Oregon, Columbus Division of Police dispersed tear gas and pepper spray into crowds during the celebration. Munjal said he and some friends were pepper-sprayed while trying to cross High Street.

Columbus Police launched a investigation into the use of the tear gas and pepper spray, and Munjal said he thinks if the University Police had been wearing cameras, they might have been able to capture footage that could have been useful for this review process.

“I think if body cameras were being used, we would have a clearer picture of what happened,” Munjal said. “I don’t blame Columbus Police, I’m sure they had their reasons for doing what they did, but I saw videos of students getting pepper-sprayed who were just standing on the sidewalk. I think the cameras would provide accountability for situations like this.”

Timothy Villari, a first-year in political science, said the body-worn cameras could prove to be a useful tool to showcase the positive work of the police force.

“Had Columbus Police been wearing body cameras after the National Championship game, I think they would have video evidence that what they did after the game was justified,“ Villari said.

“I already knew before we even got here that he was gonna be special. And like he (Scott) said, the first day of practice I was still in surgery or rehab, so I wasn’t able to practice,” Tate said. “But I watched, and like I said, he just came in and he took over.”

Russell has shown that he has the ability to take over games, as shown during a career-high night in Evanston, Ill., when he put up 33 of OSU’s 69 points in a win against Northwestern.

The Louisville, Ky., native is also second in the Big Ten in scoring with 19.4 points per game, showing a level of consistency that Matta said he is pleasantly surprised about.

“He’s had some ups and downs early on this season, but he’s been very steady in terms of what he’s been production-wise, and I see him getting better on the defensive end every time he takes the floor,” Matta said.

Russell and the Buckeyes are set to take on Trimble and the Terrapins at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

opinion Letter from the editor: The way interviews with Ohio State administrators are run LIZ YOUNG Editor-in-chief young.1693@osu.edu President Michael Drake paid a visit to The Lantern’s newsroom earlier this week. In light of that, I thought it would be worthwhile to share the way we conduct these types of interviews in the hopes of opening that door to our readers and making the process more transparent.

The way that we’ve conducted these interviews in the time I’ve been on The Lantern’s staff — since fall 2012 — is about the same way that we did this time.

About once per semester, sometimes more and sometimes less, the president, or occasionally an Ohio State administrator, schedules a time with us when they’ll come to our

newsroom for an interview. Typically we’re scheduled for an hour together, though sometimes we end up having more or less time. In preparation for that interview, Lantern staff members submit questions to the editor-inchief for her or him to seed through, narrow down and prioritize. In doing so, the editor thinks about what things like what the community needs answers about and what stories The Lantern is working on that could use that individual’s voice in the coming months.

The day of, we as a staff gather around our table in the center of the newsroom with our printed list of questions. That list is never given to the interviewee ahead of time. The interviewee then arrives, usually with some media relations staff in tow, and we go around asking questions off of our prepared list. But we don’t stop at those questions — we ask again

when a question isn’t answered, we ask follow-ups, and we sometimes improvise additional questions.

We audio record the interview and have photographers take photos during it, and often we have access to video-record the interview as well. This time we did not have that particular access.

I’ve enjoyed these interviews throughout my time here because it’s a time when we’re allowed to ask some of the most influential people at the university what we want to know, in person. I’m happy with the way we run them, though I’m always thinking of how to improve the way we do things, so the process might be different in the future.

As always, please leave your suggestions and feedback in our comments section or feel free to email me. Your ideas are always welcome.

Pope right to warn against breeding ‘like rabbits’: Overpopulation is a serious issue TYLER ANDERSON Lantern reporter anderson.2273@osu.edu In light of a few words recently uttered by the great Pope Francis, I’d like to take this opportunity to write about the very serious issue of overpopulation.

While it’s true that I would feel much more comfortable discussing Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards or Taylor Swift’s recently discovered belly button, I think this is important. Besides, Pope Francis is basically Beyoncé for Catholic people, right? It’s like pop culture for sheltered parochial school students.

The Pope recently commented that in order to be “good Catholics,” people need not feel the urge to breed “like rabbits.” I give major props to the guy for tossing out that colloquial phrase, but he should’ve known people wouldn’t be too happy about it. And being in the position of power that he is, Pope Francis had no choice but to apologize through an archbishop in a more thoughtful and familyfriendly way.

But I want to speculate on his original message.

4A

Courtesy of TNS

Pope Francis greets people Jan. 21 at the Vatican.

The truth is, people are having too many kids, and it isn’t just Catholics. Our world has way too many people, and that fact becomes more apparent each and every day.

I’m saying it, because someone has to say it. And it’s true. Our population is skyrocketing at alarming rates. Experts estimate that we’ve broken the 7 billion mark, and that number is quickly making its way to 8 billion. But people

don’t want to hear that they should stop having children. And ethically speaking, it’s a limitation that even I can’t justify.

But we have to do something about it.

Food shortages, pollution, climate change and countless other problems that threaten society can be traced to the simple fact that we have too many people. We have too many people, and we do not have enough resources to support them.

It’s easier to govern a nation of 1 million than it is a nation of 1 billion.

It’s easier to feed two mouths than it is to feed four, and it’s easier to delete 10 Candy Crush invitations than it is to delete 20. Diversity is good, and there is strength in numbers. But at some point, a community suffers when it becomes too dense.

So how do we control our population when our very instinct seeks to promote it? Our entire society is built upon the idea of growth, and yet, in my opinion, that growth is causing the vast majority of our struggles.

We can’t force people to stop having children. It simply wouldn’t be fair. Instead, we need to educate. We need to spread awareness regarding the consequences of overpopulation. We need to teach people what it truly means to raise a child. We need to realize that massproducing these wrinkly little angels — which are more or less shrieking bags of meat — will inevitably suck up all our hard-earned money.

Nobody should be told that they should not have children, but everyone should know that it’s not a decision to make lightly.

In addition to education, access to birth control should be

a non-issue by now. Condoms should be free and easily obtained in schools and clinics. If a woman wants to prevent her body from producing a child, then her decision should be seen as intelligent and respectable. She should not have to deal with outside forces that seek to threaten her decision.

As a society, we harbor far too many needless taboos on this subject. We uphold these arbitrary stigmas on the ethics of marriage, sex and birth control, and they only exist to hurt us. This behavior simply serves to produce unnecessary political debates, unnecessary restrictions on female rights, and unnecessary guilt over boinking one’s high school sweetheart.

In a future that is threatened with so many potentially catastrophic outcomes, I think we would be better served by training and educating a limited group of forward thinkers than we would be to needlessly create more victims.

Anywho, that’s all I got. Now if you’ll excuse me, I desperately need to go catch up on “19 Kids and Counting.”

Women’s Glee Club aims to combat human trafficking Danika Stahl Lantern reporter stahl.145@osu.edu Coming from very different experiences as young women, members of Ohio State’s Women’s Glee Club met with former victims of sex trafficking at a Columbus Salvation Army and made necklaces.

This weekend, they’ll don those necklaces as a symbolic gesture of solidarity during their performance in CONCEPT: Freedom, a choral festival centered around human trafficking, .

CONCEPT: Freedom is aimed serve as a platform to educate and inform the public about human trafficking, motivate people to action and provide ways to get involved in Ohio. The three-day summit will be host to a plethora of events from Thursday through Saturday.

“We start with education and then we move to challenging ourselves to say, ‘What are you going to do?’ and then we conclude with some opportunities that are real, tangible and very close to home,” said Kristina MacMullen, assistant director of choral activities at Ohio State and conductor of the Women’s Glee Club.

MacMullen said Ohio is fifth in the country for reported cases of human trafficking, and Toledo is fourth as far as cities go.

“We have more truck stops … per capita than any other state I think and those often serve as hotbeds for this kind of activity,” she said. “The average age is 12-14 for girls and 11-13 for boys. It’s shocking. And so many of them stop going to school at that point. They don’t have the resources to get a job, they have

You’re not going to get a job. So their options are limited.”

Thursday started the festival off with a screening of “Very Young Girls,” a film about the sexual exploitation involved in human trafficking produced by Rachel Lloyd, a human trafficking activist, will be shown at 8 p.m. in Hughes Auditorium Thursday. “(Lloyd) really is a national and international

authority,” MacMullen said. “It’s an opportunity not to be missed and it’s for anybody.”

The Women’s Glee Club will perform several pieces to accompany the chapters from Lloyd’s book, “Girls Like Us,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Weigel Hall Auditorium, followed by a speech

by Lloyd.

“I conduct the Women’s Glee Club and so for several years I’ve wanted to marry what I do as an artist with the concerns I have for the world around me,” MacMullen said. “I recognize that I’m not going to free a victim myself. I can’t go downtown and help someone get off of the track. I’m not skilled to do that, but I do have the opportunity to take the blinders off of my students’ eyes, and I feel like we have a responsibility to do that and also as artists.”

The festival chorus, which will be composed of women from young to old, is set to perform

at 4 p.m. Saturday. The event will be catered

by Freedom a la Cart, a company that employs former victims of human trafficking.

Saturday will feature a buffet of events catering to different interests along with the choral festival. The list includes a photography exhibit by OSU alumna Eileah Ohning in Sullivant Hall, a fashion show called “Unchained” by “Project Runway” designer Korto Momolu at 8 p.m. in Weigel Auditorium, and a self-defense class.

Ohning’s artwork will be sold to help pay for the de-branding of victims through Survivors Ink, a local organization created by Jennifer Kempton that removes or tattoos over gang sign and “property of” tattoos often used to mark victims of human trafficking so a customer knows who to pay.

“When you are trying to begin a new life and every time you look in the mirror you see a gang sign on your neck, any time you take a shower you see ‘property of,’ there’s a psychological bondage to that,” MacMullen said. “The chains may not be physically seen, but they’re very real and more powerful … the applicants apply and with a $50-$75 fee, they can have a new tattoo that covers the old tattoo or the tattoo removed.”

Other speakers include representatives from Body Sense to discuss body image and ownership, Judge Paul Herbert, creator of CATCH Court which rehabilitates prostitutes, staff from the Justice for Children Project, Lisa Cravens Brown from OSU’s Gender and Sexuality department, who will discuss Stockholm syndrome and trauma bonding, the Salvation Army, and Natalie Spiert from the OSU Student Advocacy Center who will talk about healing after assault.

“It’s an opportunity, it’s agency for action,” MacMullen said. “If you don’t know anything, we’ll come and help you learn, if you do, we’ll help you get into action.”

Admission to “Unchained” is $10 for students and $15 for the public. All other events are free admission.

Dancers prepare for ‘Inflecting Space’ at a Wednesday dress rehearsal.

Dance department’s winter show challenges repetition KAT NIU Lantern reporter niu.57@osu.edu From protests in Ferguson, Mo., and going to church, to challenging repetition, the Ohio State dance department’s winter concert will give students the space to express a variety of their ideas and inspiration.

The department’s first production of 2015 features the work of nine student choreographers and their respective exploration of their craft with the production of “Winter Concert: Inflecting Space.”

“When we’re talking about the student dance concerts, the Winter Concert is the first one up and there is another one in the spring. This is an opportunity for our students to hone the craft — this is their creative space,” said Dori Jenks, the OSU Department of Dance’s external relations coordinator.

From solos to group performances, this year’s Winter Concert shines light on many voices in OSU’s dance department. Some pieces explore social issues and others explore the strengths of different bodies.

One of the pieces named “From Within.

And Back Again,” explores vulnerability, race relations and the idea of living within conventions. Quilan Arnold, a Master of Fine Arts student in dance, choreographed the piece using a fusion of hip-hop vocabulary and contemporary aesthetics.

Arnold said he began the piece last semester when he was toying with different conventions in life that might feel overwhelming.

“I am Christian and I got to church a lot.

My main way is to have my hands up in church praising the Lord. That is a place of vulnerability for me, and where I feel overwhelmed,” Arnold said. “I ended up playing with the gesture of ‘hands-up.’”

During his research process, Arnold noticed how the gesture is popular within prayer, roller coaster rides and protests. During peer critiques, many acknowledged the similarities to the Ferguson, Mo., protests occurring in the same moment.

“A lot of people during the feedback session ended up saying that the piece reminded them about the Ferguson issue and at that time, I feel as though I couldn’t get away from that ‘handsup’ gesture (in my piece) in relations to Ferguson.

I was like, ‘If I can’t get away from it, why don’t I just go with it?’” Arnold said.

Thursday January 29, 2015

Not all pieces in the Winter Concert revolve around social issues though. Sarah Levitt, an MFA student in dance, is set to present a selfchoreographed contemporary solo exploring the role of repetition in society.

“I played with the idea of repetition and looking at what the meaning of repetition is, what are the acts we repeat, and why,” said Levitt.

“The things that we do ­— the things that we repeat — kind of build up the life we are living.

When does repetition create meaning and when is it mindless?”

Levitt chose “Four Organs” by Steve Reich as the musical accompaniment for her solo.

“It’s a very repetitive piece of music — in fact, maddeningly so. Even when I dance to it, I sort of feel like ‘I wish this would stop,’” she said.

Levitt said she felt the sense of repetition in music really supported some of these themes explored and helped provide the foundation to dance across.

Brandon Whited, also an MFA student in dance, drew inspiration for his piece, “Sonata in A Minor,” from Renaissance statues he saw outside the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Whited said he was drawn to the motion in the stillness of the statues.

Whited’s research is in masculine gender representation and he hopes to explore how male-identified individuals are depicted and represented on stage and in public.

“One of the questions I’m raising is: in presenting men in a different way than they are often seen, what do you see, what comes up, and what presumptions might you have?” Whited said.

Whited said his work delves into how men can interact together, support each other and care for one another in a way that isn’t often seen outside homosexual relationships, such as friendships or familial relationships.

Not only is “Inflecting Space” the first production of 2015, but the first concert in Barnett Theatre in Sullivant Hall since the grand reopening in September. Jenks said the seating in the new theater is limited because of its size, therefore tickets are expected to sell fast. Jenks suggests ordering the tickets online and picking them up at the door.

“Inflecting Space” premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Barnett Theatre in Sullivant Hall and runs until Saturday. Tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for students, OSU faculty, children and senior citizens. To reserve tickets, visit the OSU Theatre Box Office or Ticketmaster.

I walked down Front Street through a bit of slush in the Brewery District, close to the sides of buildings blocking the wind. Eventually making it to Shadowbox, I entered through a side door, because models and auxiliary pretty people blocked the main entrance waiting for drinks at the bar.

Inside, the concept of the mannequin was overtaken by actual human beauty. Models posed in real-life freeze-frame, set in place presenting their designers’ works. They stood still — blinking here and there — while gawking ticket-holders snapped their own stills on iPhones.

The models would switch out to become a new batch of mannequins every 15 minutes, one of the models, Jess Fraley, said.

Fashion, visual art, burlesque, photography, jewelry, along with the Shadowbox supply of food and drink — this month’s RAW was a pleasantry and congenial as the mobile models busy being beautiful within the venue.

For those unaware, the RAW showcase is a nationwide performance essentially allowing local artists of all realms to lay their own s--- down in front of the type of eyes who otherwise couldn’t give less of one.

I’ve heard some Columbus cool-guys pissing on RAW time and time again, as it’s a “pay to play” setup where artists must either sell 20 $15 tickets or pay the unsold deficit (sell more and keep the cash). Maybe it’s the fact that local shows around here hover around the free to $5 price range. Maybe they’re having difficulty dealing with whether they want to spend money on the ABBA Columbus Symphony Orchestra, a 30-rack of Hamm’s or on the art-party.

Or perhaps they’re simply the type of people who insist that you put them on the list even though won’t sleep with you after any of the shows. Who knows, bro?

Cute jokes aside, the production actually seems to scratch the artists’ back in turn: do a show in your hometown, and do another RAW show anywhere else in your country void of ticket sales — aka pay for the gas and some fast food and you’re on your merry way to the fresh eyes of a bigger city.

Showcase director Dayna Melton said her shows had been increasing in traffic since last year, noting December was specifically large. She also noted that the RAW artists were showing their works to an audience on the upwards of 500 people. It appears that these events are beginning to gain some serious support from likeminded, bright-eyed core who are truly “tryna.”

A bloom of basic, meaningful human interactions; business card exchanges, people saying “‘sup, this is cool” and “thanks,” stressed-out smiles and a variety of high-fives.

After wandering about the bar, the tables for talking, the theater filled with art and music, I figured it was worth taking the camera out of the bag. The hip locals were making friends with people no one had ever seen before. Fingers extended to this art and that art before turning back toward another performance from a burlesque dancer.

Regardless of the promiscuity, all ages were welcome to the experience; I saw a young boy in a sports jacket at the f------ bar, which led me to feel under-dressed (we might assume he was drinking apple juice).

While the plethora of art was out there in the

It was the moment where the lines at the bar thinned where some of us understood that we’ve missed the front fifth of the ladies-with-attitude gliding up and down the catwalk.

Cameras flashed while the audience fluctuated between cheers and silence.

Erin Gilson’s gorgeous paintings left her in conversation with so many different people that I struggled to get in my own two cents until she was packing up to leave after the show had long ended.

“I had a really great experience so I mean, that says more than anything; it was really fun to see people walk by my stuff and stop, and look at my piece — and I can watch people have conversations about what I did. That meant the world to me,” Gilson later said about the showcase.

So make up for being two-months absent from your art community and go to the next one on Mar. 31.

Family, hoops a balanced mix for McGuff JACKIE HOBSON Lantern reporter hobson.66@osu.edu

KELLY RODERICK / Lantern photographer

Freshman forward Jae’Sean Tate holds the ball as Michigan junior guard Caris LeVert defends during a Jan. 13 game at the Schottenstein Center. OSU won, 71-52.

Tough Tate sparks Bucks TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu Jae’Sean Tate is undersized, he doesn’t have a strong jump shot and he’s had more than three turnovers for every assist early in his collegiate career.

But despite the areas Ohio State’s freshman forward might be lacking in, he makes his presence known on the court.

“Assertiveness is something he’s never lacked, I know that,” coach Thad Matta said Wednesday.

That assertiveness has helped Tate break into the starting lineup after coming off the bench for the Buckeyes’ first 19 games this season, and his impact has skyrocketed because of it. Overall he’s averaged 7.4 points per game and 4.6 rebounds per game this season, but the Pickerington, Ohio, native amassed 20 points on 9-of-10

shooting with six rebounds in just his second start.

And after losing three of its first six Big Ten games, OSU is 2-0 when Tate is on the court for the tipoff.

Even though the team has clearly been successful in those two starts — against Northwestern and Indiana — Tate downplayed his role in those victories.

“Coach is gonna play whichever matchups work best,” Tate said Wednesday. “But starting or coming off the bench, I don’t really look at that. But I just try to do the best I can while I’m in.”

Matta agreed with Tate that the freshman is always going to do anything he can to help the team win a game.

“Or he’ll die trying to do it, I should say,” Matta added.

Whether it be scoring, passing, rebounding, playing defense or anything else, Tate has shown that he’ll put in the work. And his frame forces him to work even harder than others at times.

At just 6 feet 4 inches, Tate spends most of his time in the post — he’s just 1-for-9 on 3-point shots this year — meaning he has to match up with bigger players game in and game out. He said the key to matching up with players who have a size advantage is to react before things actually happen.

“You definitely have to do your work early,” Tate said. “That means on the catch of the ball, you need to already be in a spot and beat the man. If you need to deny it or if it’s helpside D, you always need to be a couple steps ahead because they’re so big and you’re at a disadvantage.”

Going forward in the Big Ten season, with a few bigger players on the horizon for Tate to go up against, Matta said the Pickerington Central product will have to keep learning as he goes.

“He has to figure that out sort of on the

After edging out Purdue on the road in an overtime thriller on Sunday, the Ohio State women’s basketball team didn’t find its way back to Columbus until early Monday morning. A snowfall in West Lafayette, Ind., on Sunday evening forced the Buckeyes to make a 5 1/2 hour bus ride back to campus, rather than fly.

And that was just the start of a busy week of traveling for coach Kevin McGuff.

“This week we got home from Purdue at midnight, and Monday I flew to Florida, and today I flew back,” McGuff said before practice Tuesday afternoon. “Tomorrow, we will fly to Wisconsin and get back late on Thursday night, and then I will fly back to Florida on Friday and get back Saturday.”

This type of never-ending schedule is typical for coaches who lead big-time women’s college basketball programs. Many coaches, however, do not have six kids, like McGuff does.

“I couldn’t do it if I didn’t have an outstanding wife,” McGuff said. “My wife is awesome.”

McGuff met his wife, Letitia, while they were both on the coaching staff at Notre Dame in 1996. The pair were married in 2002 and have moved cities together on three separate occasions while raising their children.

“We met in coaching so she knows the rigors of this job,” he said. “She is a part of everything I do.”

Also in 2002, McGuff became the head coach at Xavier University in Cincinnati before moving the family out to Seattle so he could become the coach at the University of Washington in 2011. Just two years later, the McGuffs found themselves back in Ohio, but this time in Columbus.

The coach said he is happy to be back and feels Columbus is a great place to raise his kids, all six of which are between the ages of 21 months and 11 years old.

“I just thought it would be a better environment for our family where we can spend more time together,” he said.

Coaching at OSU has given McGuff the ability to be closer to his family throughout the work day, allowing him to help more with getting all the kids where they need to go.

“We are able to live a lot closer,” he said.

“I am now able to spend more time at home

Team goals come first Men’s tennis has shot at for women’s tennis 199-straight home wins WHITNEY WILSON Lantern reporter wilson.2689@osu.edu After nearly three months off, the Ohio State women’s tennis team is set to take a step toward a bigger stage with two matches on its first day back.

The Buckeyes are scheduled to open their spring season at the Varsity Tennis Center with a doubleheader against West Virginia and Cleveland State on Thursday.

The team most recently played at the Tennessee Fall Invitational, where coach Melissa Schaub said it was helpful to see how the girls compete in a dual-match setting.

“Our two freshmen, Olivia Sneed and Anna Sanford, did really well, they played higher in the lineup the last day against Kentucky so that’s something good to see,” Schaub said. “I think we have a lot of options with our lineup right now.”

Schaub said her main focus going into the season is watching her players improve while staying healthy, adding she feels confident going into the season, having set a major goal for her team.

“We hope to compete for a Big Ten title this year, obviously the conference is really tough,” Schaub said. “Northwestern and Michigan have kind of owned that spot for a while, but I think we have a deep team and that we’ll be competitive.”

Aside from pushing for tennis achievements, Schaub said she hopes for much more from her team.

“Teaching these girls life lessons, working them hard and having them be successful in life when they’re finished here, I mean that’s the biggest goal of mine,” Schaub said. “Whether that’s, they continue to play tennis for a career after this or successful in any job that they decide to go into. I think doing well in school, being disciplined and being

“When I was younger, it was just all about you individually, and now I like the fact that it’s about something bigger than that.”

successful are the most important things.”

Current sophomore Sandy Niehaus led the Buckeyes with 32 overall wins and nine Big Ten wins during the 2013-14 season and was most recently ranked No. 26 in the season-opening doubles ITA poll with sophomore Gabriella De Santis.

Niehaus said she likes the fact that college tennis is about being on a team.

“When I was younger, it was just all about you individually, and now I like the fact that it’s about something bigger than that,” Niehaus said.

Niehaus credits her success to her teammates, as she said they have been very motivational in helping push herself to the best of her abilities. She said her motive to win is for her teammates.

“The biggest thing for me is, I like being on a team and I want to do well, not only for myself, but for the team,” Niehaus said.

OSU recently winning a national title in football has helped to set the bar higher for the team.

“We saw how crazy everyone went so I think that we would like a chance to make the school go just as crazy if we could win one,” Niehaus said.

The Buckeyes are set to take on West Virginia at 9 a.m. and Cleveland State at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

ADRIENNE ROBBINS Lantern reporter robinson.1444@osu.edu The 7-0 Ohio State men’s tennis team is set to play the University of Kentucky on Thursday and coach Ty Tucker said the Buckeyes will be heading into the match with an almost year-old chip on their shoulders.

“We’ve got to be ready for Kentucky. Last year we ended up losing at Kentucky in April … So obviously the guys are looking forward to getting another shot,” Tucker said.

The No. 5 Buckeyes split matches last year against Kentucky, first winning in Columbus, 4-0, in February but then losing in Lexington, Ky., 4-1, on April 9.

Redshirt-sophomore Ralf Steinbach said OSU wants to beat the Wildcats because of last season’s loss, but also to pick up its 199th home win in a row.

“I’m very excited, same as the other guys on the team. Last time we played them at Kentucky we lost, so we really want to win and want to keep the streak alive,” Steinbach said.

The matchup simply makes the team “more competitive,” Steinbach said.

“You just have to be very focused and I think we are well prepared, just have a good day of practice today,” redshirt-junior Chris Diaz said Wednesday.

Unlike OSU, Kentucky will be coming in to Columbus searching for momentum after starting the season off 2-4, but the Buckeyes are not underestimating the Wildcats.

“They’re a very strong SEC team, usually always in the final six and battle for an SEC title,” Tucker said.

The Wildcats’ record might not paint the most clear picture for the team, as all four of their losses came from teams inside the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s top 30.

“They’re a really good team and everyone who comes in here always has a lot of motivation to beat us,” Diaz said.

The team plans on bringing that confidence boost with them for Thursday’s match, Diaz said.

“Definitely helps we beat some good teams, got through some tough matches … but there are definitely a lot of tough challenges ahead,” he said.

Although the tournament brings some confidence, coach Tucker said “it’s always a different day” when talking about bringing that momentum into the match against Kentucky.

There is one player in particular who could be a huge weapon for OSU. Steinbach was named the Big Ten men’s tennis Athlete of the Week after going undefeated last week.

“It was very surprising for me, I didn’t expect it and it’s a great honor,” Steinbach said.

Steinbach went 10-0 and currently holds a team-best 14-3 singles and doubles record this season.

sports Tate from 9A fly in terms of when to go, when not to go,” Matta said.

Matta said Tate, especially earlier in the season, struggled with decision-making and playing in rhythm, but added that aspect of his game has improved.

One thing he’s had from the start to help him to that improvement is toughness, which Matta said he looks for from his teams, but can’t necessarily give it a definition.

“I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it,” he said. “I know who has it, I know who doesn’t have it.”

When asked what Tate brings to the table, senior guard Shannon Scott was quick to bring up the grittiness that Matta wants, but can’t quite pinpoint in words.

“He’s brought a lot of toughness and a lot of heart to our team,” Scott said Wednesday.

“I mean there’s been times where a ball’s rolling on the court and no one goes and gets it and he (Tate) comes out of nowhere and gets the ball. Everybody needs a guy like that on their team.”

Tate agreed with Scott about what a tough player brings to the Buckeyes, but unlike his coach, he had a clear definition of what toughness is on the basketball court.

“Just doing the little things,” Tate said.

“Everything’s important, if that’s rebounding, running the floor, diving on the floor for loose balls, running the correct play at the correct pace.

“That’s what toughness is.”

While Matta looks for toughness from his teams every year, exactly what Tate does and

can bring to the table reminds him of a player who hasn’t donned the scarlet and gray since 2011.

David Lighty, who now plays ASVEL Basket in France, played 157 games for the Buckeyes and developed from a defensive bench player to a 12-point per game scorer and stingy outside threat in Columbus. Matta said he saw similarities between Tate and Lighty even before Tate made it to college, and added he feels that type of player should garner more respect.

“I have always said this: I am still mad they didn’t put a statue of David in front of the Schottenstein Center,” Matta said. “Which I think is an ultimate compliment to Jae’Sean in terms of what he is today and what I think he is going to be.”

He added Tate hasn’t come close to being the player he can just yet, but Matta said all signs point toward him taking a Lighty-esque path.

“He has that same type of energy, that same competitive instinct in him that David had,” he said.

Tate said he sees the similarities as well, and added he works to model his game after Lighty’s play for OSU. “I think that we have a few different knickknack, skillsets here and there,” Tate said.

“But I go back sometimes and watch and I try to see what he did and how I can improve my game.”

Tate’s next step toward proving to Matta that he deserves a statue off of Lane Avenue as well is set to come Thursday when OSU is scheduled to take on No. 16 Maryland at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.

then on the highway and in traffic and they can come over here a lot more.”

The McGuffs reside in Upper Arlington, which gives the coach a close commute to and from the Schottenstein Center and allows his kids to join him at work.

This has given McGuff the opportunity to focus equal energy on both his team and his family, even if that means combining the two.

“They come to practice and run around the gym,” McGuff said. “The players like it a lot.”

The family attends all OSU home games and travels with the team when the kids’ busy schedules allow for it.

won two straight since losing to Minnesota on Jan. 15 and are looking to keep the momentum going as they head into the final stretch of the Big Ten season.

“It would be huge to string a couple together,” junior guard Cait Craft said.

“In the past, we would win three or four games and then lose one or two.”

Craft, along with fellow junior guard Ameryst Alston, are the primary leaders on the young Buckeye team who are hoping to make their win at Purdue the start of a new chapter.

“We can be something special,” Craft said. “It has taken a while to come together and it has been frustrating at times, but when you are building a team like this, you are going to have those kind of rough patches that you just need to push through.”

With such a young team, Craft knows the Buckeyes are only just

scratching the surface of their potential as a team. Freshman guard Kelsey Mitchell was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the fifth time this season and second time in a row following her 37-point outing at Purdue.

“I honestly don’t have words to describe her,” Craft said. “To me the most inspiring part about her is that even with all the talent she has, she is one of the hardest working people I know.”

With his family close by and his young team becoming better with each practice, McGuff couldn’t be happier.

“Its been fun,” McGuff said.

“Columbus is a great place for our family.”

Tipoff against the Badgers is scheduled for 9 p.m.
