OSU outlines new meal plans for next year MICHAEL COLIN Lantern reporter mikecolin13@gmail.com Ohio State and University Dining Services have decided to take the dining plan system in a new direction for the next academic year, eliminating the block program and replacing it with one that is

anchored by “weekly traditional visits.”

In an email sent last week, OSU announced that the block system, which has been in place since the quarter-to-semester conversion in 2012, will no longer be available.

Instead, students will choose from dining plans that provide a set number of weekly traditional visits.

“These changes, which modify

the block structure, are designed to give students the value and flexibility they want and need from a campus dining plan,” said Dave Isaacs, spokesman for the Office of Student Life, in an email.

Isaacs said the new plan was devised by numerous groups at OSU and included feedback from students.

“A number of student

organizations were involved in the entire process, including the Residence Hall Advisory Council, Undergraduate Student Government, RAs (Resident Advisers) and student focus groups,” he said.

He also said the viewpoints of current students using the block system were taken into

Pyrotechnic devices, lasers return to Olentangy Tactics aim to deter geese from eating vegetation ERIC WEITZ Lantern reporter weitz.25@osu.edu

ERIC WEITZ / Lantern reporter

Pyrotechnic devices and lasers have returned to the Olentangy River this week as part of a continued effort to drive geese from the area.

Pyrotechnic devices and lasers have returned to the Olentangy River this week as part of a continued effort to drive geese from the area, spurred by the success of similar approaches used last year.

George Zonders, a spokesman for the Columbus Department of Public Utilities, said that after having success last year with the goose-related damage management techniques, the City of Columbus

and the United States Department of Agriculture are continuing their efforts to prevent the geese from eating vegetation planted as part of the Olentangy River Restoration Project.

“When we did the restoration work last year, we got a lot of good growing time in due to the previous efforts by the USDA team,” Zonders said. “This is mainly a pre-emptive effort again to get through the nesting and mating periods of the geese to keep them from settling.”

“There was some good momentum last year,” he said of plant growth in the area between Fifth and Lane avenues. “We

want to keep that momentum and give the growth more time to get established.”

The City of Columbus and the USDA Wildlife Services conducted similar efforts last year, using pyrotechnic devices and lasers in addition to other measures to drive geese from the area.

“The pyrotechnics and the lasers are all designed to do the same thing, to startle them and to keep them from settling in any one particular place, not to injure (them),” Zonders said. “You are

campus LGBTQIA from 1A The research report, “Exploring Wellbeing to Support Success of LGBTQ and Questioning Students at The Ohio State University,” was conducted by authors Tamara Davis, Susan Saltzburg, Angie Wellman and Tayo Clyburn.

It took nearly two years to complete and examine what resources are needed for LGBTQIA students to have a successful college experience, said Davis, the report’s lead author and an associate professor in the College of Social Work.

Additionally, it studied how the university can ensure academic achievement and positive wellbeing for LGBTQIA students.

The report collected data from more than 700 students and used a methodology called concept mapping, which allowed researchers to “blend online and face-to-face processes in ways that students could be true to themselves without fear,” Davis said.

“We asked students to tell us how Ohio State can best support their well-being for a successful college experience,” she said.

Michelson said she appreciated the emphasis on students’ opinions and experiences because, as a student and member of the LGBTQIA community, she can personally relate to campus issues such as gender neutral bathrooms.

“I thought a lot of the claims the report makes about what needs to be done next are very relevant and are really important things, specifically when it comes to gender-inclusive housing, gender-neutral bathrooms, especially with satellite campuses, and the lack of safety and security of LGBTQIA students on those campuses,” she said.

The effects of the research might already be having an effect, as OSU has recently began offering new resources for LGBTQIA students.

OSU students can now register in a student database whether they consider themselves part of the LGBTQ community, according to the university registrar website. The information, for internal purposes only, will track academic progress and retention rates of LGBTQ students, the website said.

Michelson said she has a few questions about the new resources.

“When they say ‘database,’ what kind of database are they using?” she said. “I’m (also) worried about the lack of (intersex and asexual people) being represented when they say ‘LGBTQ.’” Although Michelson said she has questions, she does think that it’s a good thing for the LGBTQIA community at OSU. “I think that is a good step forward in trying to include data from those communities in terms of trying to help benefit them,” she said.

Davis and fellow author Saltzburg said they chose to be part of the research project for personal reasons, as they both are members of the LGBTQIA community.

“As a member of the LGBTQ community, I have been working with and on behalf of LGBTQ youth and young adults for the better part of 30 years as a social activist, family therapist, mentor and scholar,” Saltzburg said.

“This study provided us with the unique opportunity to address the needs of the LGBTQ community of students on the OSU campuses and honor their voices.”

Davis said she had discussed the university’s lack of research regarding the LGBTQIA community with Wellman, who serves as

Band from 1A of university bands. That email was obtained by The Lantern on Wednesday.

The email said Spurlin’s visit included conducting the athletic band’s rehearsal Wednesday, followed by a question and answer period with athletic band members.

Band members’ feedback was set to be collected electronically afterward.

Richendollar and Rayford identify as gay. The 4 of them work together at Raising Cane’s on North High Street. an intercultural specialist in the Multicultural Center and liaison to the LGBTQIA community.

“Angie indicated she had no data to inform or support her work at OSU because at the time, Ohio State had no formal processes in place to gather data about its LGBTQ students like it did for other diverse groups at the university,” Davis said.

Saltzburg said giving LGBTQIA students a voice was the most gratifying part of the research because she thinks student voice is the most effective form of change, not only for LGBTQIA students at OSU, but at college campuses around the country.

“Including the students’ voices

as the driving force for raising awareness, and creating change and knowing the dedicated work put into this study will serve as a landmark initiative for Ohio State University as well as other institutions of higher education around the country,” she said.

Saltzburg and Davis said they both hope to do similar research in the future that helps LGBTQIA students at higher-learning institutions.

“I think both Dr. Davis and I would like to see this study serve as a springboard to other projects pertaining to LGBTQ students,” Saltzburg said.

Michelson said the research is a good first step for LGBTQIA

Spurlin was also scheduled to meet members of the 2014 OSU Marching Band during his visit.

The email said Spurlin’s visit is the “first of two campus visits for finalists.”

Another candidate is set to visit campus and participate in a similar itinerary of events next week, a current member of the marching band told The Lantern.

“The School of Music is considering a number of highly qualified candidates,” OSU spokesman Chris Davey said in an email

acceptance and it is starting to initiate change.

“I feel like there are two sides of this coin where we as a community have to come together and bond and feel safe and feel brave in the space that we are given, because a lot of people in society still discriminate against us,” she said. “It’s not just about bonding as a community.

It’s about using the data that the (Multicultural Center) provided and letting people know as a member of society we need to be treated equally. We are just as human as everyone else, and we need a safe environment that needs to be upheld and made possible.”

Wednesday. “We look forward to when we will be able to make the exciting announcement of a new band director very soon.”

OSU originally said it expected the search process for a new director to wrap up by mid-February. Time constraints slowed the selection process last semester, Davey said in February.

The band’s previous director, Jonathan Waters, was fired after an OSU investigation found the band contained a sexualized culture.

Geese from 1A basically trying to startle them to get them to move somewhere else. In the middle of the river is fine, as long as they are not settling down and eating the new growth that we are trying to encourage this spring.”

Last year, efforts to remove the geese from the area were scheduled to run from March to December or until the “vegetation matured,” according to an OSU press release.

Zonders said the pyrotechnics and lasers will be less frequent this year and on an “occasional and as-needed basis,” adding that the city’s contract with USDA expires at the end of July, but could be discontinued earlier if the team determines that the deterrent practices are no longer needed.

Clintonville resident Kayla Newkirk walks along the Olentangy Trail from her home north of campus every day. She said that she has never seen USDA officials near the river or heard the explosions but has noticed the warning signs and the smaller number of geese in the targeted area.

“Toward Clintonville, I see a lot of them,” she said. “There are a lot more geese north of campus, but down here, I don’t see them as often.”

Newkirk said that when she sees geese south of the Lane Avenue, they are often in the water and not in the vegetation near the trail.

Administration and Planning spokeswoman Nicole Holman said in an email while the university “is not financially involved in the efforts to deter the geese,” it did contribute $2 million to the $6.9 million Olentangy River Restoration Project, which is part of the One University Framework Plan.

In August 2012, the Olentangy River renovation began with the partial removal of the Fifth Avenue Dam. About one-third of the structure was removed completely, while along the remaining length of the dam, the top two feet of concrete were removed and the rest was covered with soil.

The One University Framework Plan is a long-term university initiative that the Board of Trustees approved in June 2010. It is used to guide OSU’s project decision making, according to the Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) website.

The river restoration project will “benefit our campus environmentally, aesthetically and academically, yielding a living-learning laboratory where teaching and research can and will thrive,” Holman said.

consideration, with an overall goal of making the new program a success.

The email OSU sent outlined major points of the new system and included definitions of some of the new terms.

The total visits each week differ plan to plan, starting at five per week and maxing out at an unlimited amount of visits. These visits do not roll over week-to-week, making this a “use it or lose it” system.

The visits can be used at any of the traditional dining locations, which include Kennedy Commons, Morrill Traditions and the new Scott House location that will be in the North Campus Residential District. However, the system does allow students to continue to buy food at other campus locations.

Visits can be exchanged for $5 each at any nontraditional campus dining location. This exchange works like blocks, and any money not used is lost. Students who choose the unlimited visit plan will not be able to trade visits for $5, so the maximum number of exchanges per week will be limited to 14.

Another new feature of the system is Dining Dollars, which will be automatically added to a student’s BuckID when they pay for their plan. Each plan includes a different amount of Dining Dollars ranging from $100 to $900. Students will also receive a 10 percent discount when purchasing food with the

Dining Dollars, which can be used at any OSU dining facility.

This money will roll over until graduation.

BuckID cash will still be included with the meal plans excluding the unlimited plan, which will only give students the option to add cash to their card. The option to pay for a meal using combinations of Dining Dollars, BuckID cash and real money will still be available.

The new system will offer five plans for students living on campus and two plans for commuter students. One plan, the Access 7, will not be offered to incoming first-year students.

Isaacs said this plan is aimed at second-year students who will be encouraged to have more off-campus experiences and will not be eating in dining halls as much as first-year students.

The specifics and prices for all of the plans can be found online, but Isaacs said they are not set in stone. The dining plans and rates must be approved by the Board of Trustees, which will next meet April 9 and 10.

Although OSU hopes the new system will better cater to the needs of students, Kapil Shankaran, a first-year in chemical engineering, doesn’t think it will work.

“With blocks, you have a set number that is easy to keep track of over the semester,” he said. “Trying to keep up with the new weekly swipes and Dining Dollars seems like it will be more complicated.”

Shankaran also said the new plan seems to be trying to force students to eat at the traditions location, which he doesn’t like.

“I usually eat at different places on campus, and I don’t think the Dining Dollars will be enough to cover costs unless the food prices go down,” he said.

campus Griffin from 1A Committee, according to a press release provided by Amy Murray, a university spokeswoman.

“I’m thrilled that Archie has agreed to be our commencement speaker,” Drake said in the press release. “Our graduates will get a chance to hear from the ultimate Buckeye and a man whose hard work, generous spirit and philosophy of ‘paying forward’ has brought so much credit to this university.”

Griffin will address more than 10,000 graduates and their families at the event, the release said.

Griffin said he was overwhelmed with the invitation, and that the moment brought him back to one he shared with OSU football coach Woody Hayes, when Hayes was asked to speak at the OSU spring commencement in 1986.

“I’ll never forget how emotional and excited coach Hayes was about being asked to do that,” he said. “It was something that meant a tremendous amount to him. He

called me and he told me that, and he got a little emotional over the phone, and I’ll never forget that. And when I got that call, it hit me. It made me understand how and why he felt that way.”

Griffin said he hasn’t mapped out the details of his speech yet, but does hope the speech carries with it a sense of Hayes’ “pay it forward” philosophy, which Hayes included in his 1986 speech.

“That’s something that obviously stuck with me, and it’s something that I try to keep going,” he said. “I know it’s a big part of my family and what we do. And it’s because of coach Hayes consistently talking about that.”

Griffin said he also plans to share a couple stories from his time playing in the ‘Shoe.

“I just feel I’d be remiss not to because I hadn’t been in front of that many people on that football field since the time that I played there,” he said.

Griffin said his favorite off-field memory from his time at OSU was his own graduation.

“Graduation was most exciting moment for me,” he said. “My purpose in coming here was to graduate. Football meant a lot to me, no question about it, but in reality, football was the vehicle I used to get the college education that I wanted. I’ll always be very appreciative of the game because for that.”

Griffin earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial relations in 1976.

Griffin said his youngest son, Adam, will be graduating this spring and will most likely attend commencement.

“That makes it kind of special for me to have that opportunity to speak,” he said.

“I know he’ll say, ‘Oh my goodness, my dad’s up there speaking.’ He’ll probably be nervous for me.”

Griffin has spoken previously at commencements as a representative of the Alumni Association, but he said this experience will be different.

“But being the keynote, that’s a different story,” he said.

Students create app to connect Muslim community Pillar helps Muslims meet up to pray around campus NOAH TOUMERT Lantern reporter toumert.3@osu.edu For some Muslim students at Ohio State, it’s all about three things: location, location, location. And since October, whether it was prayer, a mosque or a halal meal, Pillar has been the answer.

Pillar, an app designed by OSU students and alumni to connect Muslim students, has been used in more than 30 countries, said Bilal Bajwa, the co-founder and CEO for the app, and a fifth-year in biology.

Pillar connects practicing Muslims by tracking down the closest mosque or group prayer sessions. It also offers features like a “nearby list” of restaurants that serve halal cuisine and a log of the user’s prayer patterns.

The app can tell users the five times of day to pray based on their location, while also including a compass to point them toward Mecca. It will even tell them Mecca’s coordinates (21.4167°N, 39.8167°E), according to a compass feature on the app. But the app’s purpose isn’t limited to Middle Eastern geography.

Pillar helps coordinate communal prayer, a practice that is encouraged for practicing Muslims. The app’s website explains why with an excerpt from the Hadith, a record of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, which states “prayer in congregation is 27 times more rewarding than prayer performed individually.”

Although group prayer is important for practicing Muslims,

the app’s co-founder and chief networking officer, Mushtaq Dualeh, said it could be hard for students to coordinate on a campus.

“At the Union, we have access to the interfaith prayer spaces, but if we’re at other locations across campus, we often have to find a quiet and empty corner to pray in,” said Dualeh, a fourth-year in public health.

Pillar’s creators are hoping the app motivates Muslim students who don’t want to pray alone in public to keep practicing, Bajwa said.

“It’s weird for some of the people new to the campus community,” Bajwa said. “I think sometimes they feel a little awkward because it can be a little awkward, but it helps a lot if you’re praying with a group. By making group prayers more convenient and regular, we hope that the app will encourage both communal and individualistic spiritual growth. ” In some ways, the app is an extension of the on-campus Muslim community that already looks out for each other, Dualeh said. He described a “secret spot” behind the movable book stacks in the 18th Avenue Library basement where there are prayer rugs and even copies of the Quran that students read.

“For part of the prayer, you have to go down and your forehead touches the ground, so if there’s not a prayer rug, people will at the very least use paper towels for the front, and if someone prayed there before you, they’ll leave them there,” Bajwa said. “So you’ll see that and you’re like, ‘Oh, someone else prayed here.’”

Bajwa said the idea for the app came from his experiences as a Muslim student.

“The idea came to me when I was studying at Prior (Hall) library,” he said. When his phone alerted him that it was time to pray, he realized he was alone. Bajwa said he went to text a

friend and thought, “Why isn’t there an app that already tells me who’s around and who wants to pray?”

And that’s exactly what he set out to create.

Bajwa recruited Daniel Marchese, a friend of his and a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, as the chief technical officer for the app. The two started to assemble their team and after a meeting in the RPAC in fall 2013, Pillar was born under the name WePray.

The name WePray tied the stylization trend of the iPod and iPhone to the community aspect of the app, Bajwa said.

The name stood until Dualeh came up with the app’s current name.

“There are five pillars in Islam,” Dualeh said. “(The name) had so many different meanings and the pillar represents a support system for the community.”

Dualeh highlighted Pillar in her TEDx talk at OSU earlier this year. In her talk, “The Beauty of Connectivity,” Dualeh shared how her religious and cultural background pushed her to connect with the world around her.

She said this same religious and cultural background inspired her to help create the Pillar app. But the creators want to connect more than just the Muslim community, Bajwa said.

“If you see someone praying or someone who’s done praying and you’re curious and want to learn more, then just ask them,” Bajwa said. Although he admitted that it might be awkward, he stressed the importance of cutting out the middleman when learning about another culture.

“It’s not the same as actually interacting,” he said. “Like, why not cut out the third person and go to the person and talk to them?”

Pillar is available on both iOS and Android.

Meyer could bring back the ‘specialty quarterback’ TIM MOODY Sports editor moody.178@osu.edu

JAMES GREGA, JR. Asst. sports editor grega.9@osu.edu

Ohio State football fans probably remember the 2006 Florida team led by Urban Meyer. The Gators shellacked the then-No. 1 Buckeyes, 41-14, in the BCS National Championship Game that year, after all.

Nearly a decade later, Meyer is on the Buckeyes’ side, and he might be evoking some of his old tactics for OSU in the upcoming season.

The Buckeyes are the defending College Football Playoff National Champions, but they have a question mark at quarterback despite returning three successful players at the position.

With redshirt-senior Braxton Miller, redshirt-junior Cardale Jones and redshirt-sophomore J.T. Barrett all back on the roster with starting experience, Meyer will likely be forced to sit two quarterbacks who have Heismancaliber potential.

But if he plays his cards right — similar to what he did back in 2006 with Florida — just one of those players could be forced to look on from the sidelines.

Meyer dismissed the idea of playing two quarterbacks at once during his Tuesday press conference, but said he could employ a “specialty quarterback,” and compared that situation to his ‘06 Gators.

That Florida team featured a senior quarterback in Chris Leak who already had three years of starting experience under his belt.

Even though he threw 49 touchdowns between his sophomore and junior seasons, the arrival of freshman Tim Tebow meant Leak had to rotate to some extent.

The combination worked to near perfection as Leak acted as the passing quarterback and threw for 2,942 yards and 23 touchdowns. Tebow had his

Men’s tennis looks to bounce back ADRIENNE ROBBINS Lantern reporter robbins.254@osu.edu Another streak bit the dust when the Ohio State men’s tennis team dropped its first regular season Big Ten game in almost 10 years Sunday at Illinois.

But it’s not time to give up on the season, as the Buckeyes have Minnesota set to come to town Friday and Wisconsin on Sunday.

“All of a sudden our goal is to not lose another match the rest of the season,” coach Ty Tucker said.

With only six matches left in the regular season, the general consensus for the Buckeyes is to just keep moving and not get stuck on their 4-0 loss at Illinois, redshirt-junior Chris Diaz said.

“We just kind of have to put that loss behind us, learn from it a little bit,” Diaz said. “Just got to get better, play with a lot of energy, focus on our weaknesses and what we did wrong in those matches.”

Tucker has a similar mindset, and he said he’s more focused on moving to the outside courts than the losses the Buckeyes have suffered this season.

“We’re just trying to keep playing, keep moving in the right direction,” he said. “We haven’t been outside in the Big Ten yet so coming outside and getting used to some wind and some cold conditions are going to be what we need to get moving on to be ready.”

Depth in trenches an issue for OSU

TOP, MIDDLE: MARK BATKE / Photo editor BOTTOM: RITIKA SHAH / Lantern TV News director

Redshirt-sophomore J.T. Barrett (16), redshirt-junior Cardale Jones (12) and redshirt-senior Braxton Miller (5) all have starting experience at quarterback for OSU.

The Ohio State offensive and defensive fronts helped the Buckeyes to their eighth national title just three months ago, but coach Urban Meyer said he is concerned with both units as spring practice hits its halfway point.

“We’re gonna have, like most teams across the country have offensive line issues,” Meyer said Tuesday after practice. “We have had some injuries, with (redshirtfreshman Demetrius) Knox being out, (redshirt-freshman Kyle) Trout had a contusion where he missed a couple days. Numbers are way down on the offensive line.”

While the front five is set to return four starters from the title campaign, three of them are seeing limited to no reps.

“Pat Elflein and Taylor Decker are getting very limited reps, Jacoby Boren is down. Nine or 10 offensive linemen will be here in August that aren’t here right now,” Meyer said.

The other remaining starter, redshirt-sophomore Billy Price, has the most experience of any of the linemen who are participating full throttle in spring ball.

But even with so many players sitting out, Elflein said offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner will continue to push the Buckeyes to get better.

“He’s a perfectionist. He won’t let anything slip. No matter what it is, wrong step, whatever, hand placement, if it’s not perfect, he’s on you,” Elflein said Thursday.

“I think that is probably his best quality and that’s why we’ve been playing so good. He has developed so many guys to be great players.”

Stieber sets sights on Brazil 2016 PATRICK KALISTA Lantern reporter kalista.4@osu.edu Two weeks removed from making history with his fourth individual national title, Ohio State redshirt-senior Logan Stieber has put his collegiate accolades on the back burner for an even bigger desire — the 2016 Olympics.

“It has always been a dream of mine to be an Olympian and to win gold,” Stieber said. “Doing that would be a great conclusion to my competitive career.”

Stieber was awarded the Hodge Trophy, which is equivalent to what the Heisman is for football, on Monday. On that same day, he was also supporting his younger brother, Hunter, who was in surgery to attach a ligament in his right elbow.

“The Hodge has been a goal of mine since my sophomore year,” Stieber said. “I would say it’s one of the highest honors I have received, and to have my brother come out of surgery OK as well, it made for a great day.”

The four-time Big Ten and National Champion finished his career at OSU with a 119-3 record and was named the Big Ten Most Outstanding Wrestler and Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Big Ten Championships. Even after receiving these major individual awards, Stieber managed to keep his focus on his teammates, and is able to stay calm on the biggest of stages.

“I have been blessed to

be in a lot of big matches and moments in my life and I think I have learned from each one,” Stieber said. “That keeps me calm.”

With a winning percentage of .975 — a school record — Stieber is used to being on top of the podium. Now he’s focused on remaining there as he looks to make the U.S. World Team this summer in hopes of qualifying for the Summer Olympics next year in Brazil.

“I believe I can make the team and win gold,” Stieber said.

Olympic wrestling uses the freestyle form of wrestling instead of the folkstyle used in college. Despite the different style, Stieber said, with the help of known World Team members such as former Buckeye Reece Humphrey, he will be able to make the transition quickly.

“The freestyle circuit is different because of the amount of times you compete and the weigh-in rules are different,” Stieber said. “Also the training is more focused on skill and less on conditioning. I’ll be ready.”

Looking back on his high school career and the way it ended, Stieber said he couldn’t have written a better script on how similarly he ended his collegiate career. Not only did he win four individual titles at both levels, but he led Monroeville and OSU to their first-ever team titles as well.

“To have him win his fourth title on the same day as winning the team’s first is incredible,” Stieber’s father, Jeff, said.

“It was always one of his biggest goals to do that and to see it happen is truly amazing.”

Stieber finished his career on a 50-match winning streak dating back to December 2013, and won 96 of his 119 matches via bonus points. He tied for the most career falls in OSU history with 50 and also became just the second wrestler ever to win

Members of the OSU synchronized swimming team compete in the U.S. Collegiate National Championships on March 28 at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. The Buckeyes clinched their 29th national title in program history.

Synchronized swimming ready for next routine JUDY WON Lantern reporter won.69@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s synchronized swim team made history this past weekend by winning its 29th U.S. Collegiate National Championship on its own turn at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

While the championship brings an end to the 2015 season, the offseason isn’t necessarily a break.

Coach Holly Vargo-Brown admitted she woke up the day after OSU picked up its title wondering what routines the Buckeyes would pull together for next year’s championships.

“It’s a process that starts immediately after the season finishes,” Vargo-Brown said. “We’ll

start looking for music, we’ll start choreography next fall and it takes five to six months to create and perfect what we ultimately end up with in March.”

The Scarlet team’s routine this year was themed around time, with clock-like movements and the constant sounds of ticking in the background. The Gray team’s winning routine was themed around space, with intricate movements and flips incorporated into their choreography. The teams combined to give the Buckeyes their winning score of 93.0.

Vargo-Brown said she enjoyed the idea of using concepts that work together for the theme, like using fire and ice to win the national championship last year in Arizona.

Considering the meticulous work that goes in

to each new routine, senior Heidi Liou said she was impressed by the Buckeyes’ execution.

“I still can’t believe that all the hard work that we’ve put in paid off,” she said. “We were here during our spring training from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day. We even had practice on Sunday.”

Senior captain Khadija Zanotto needed a minute to find the words to explain how winning the national championship felt.

“We won a championship my freshman year and now ending with a championship, it just feels like the perfect career here at Ohio State,” she said.

After the Buckeyes’ outstanding season, Vargo-Brown was named the U.S. Collegiate Coach of the Year for the third time.

“Certainly it’s not just me that coaches this program. I gratefully accept this for our entire coaching staff,” Vargo-Brown said. “The

expectation of always giving your best helps us coach better student-athletes because we feel the energy and we gain motivation from that.”

While Vargo-Brown has only been the head coach at OSU since 2012, she has a history with the Buckeyes spanning back to 1981 as a fourtime letterwinner, All-American and as a member of the 1982 and 1983 U.S. Collegiate championship teams.

“She really nurtures us and really tries to have a very cohesive team that’s focused on a championship and on winning,” Zanotto said. “She’s just a phenomenal coach and brings out the best in the athletes.”

Now with yet another title under her belt, Vargo-Brown and the Buckeyes have a chance to dream about their next routine before putting it into action.

With all eyes facing forward, Diaz said OSU is not taking Minnesota lightly. The Golden Gophers are not only undefeated this year in the Big Ten, but they have also won seven of their last eight matches overall.

“They’re a really good team. They’ve got a lot of great players, so we got to be ready for them,” Diaz said.

Tucker agreed that the Golden Gophers pose a tough challenge, but said there’s one advantage OSU might have going in.

“Minnesota is quite a tough team, so we’ll have our hands full this week, but at least it’s at home,” he said.

Even though their 200-match home winning streak was snapped earlier this season, Diaz said the Buckeyes still find comfort playing at home.

“Our fans are awesome. They’re always coming out and supporting us, giving us a lot of energy so that really helps us provide more energy on the court,” Diaz said.

Luckily for OSU, four of its last six matches are scheduled to be held in Columbus. The Buckeyes are set to take on Minnesota on Friday at 3 p.m. and Wisconsin at noon Sunday.

four Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Invitational titles.

Once again, the individual accolades have piled up, but he stressed they don’t compare to the success he shares with his teammates.

“Winning individual awards and achieving personal goals is something I obviously want to do, but being able to share a team title with my family and friends has been pretty cool,” Stieber said.

Instead of taking it all in and enjoying the moment, wrestling season hasn’t ended for Stieber. He has already begun training for the 2015 Las Vegas/ASICS Open Wrestling Championships in May and even after he graduates, he still hopes to be a part of OSU and wants to continue to work with the team, he said.

“I hope to keep wrestling in Columbus for a while and I want to see our team continue to get better and competing for titles.”

Redshirt-junior Chris Diaz prepares to hit the ball during a match against South Florida on Feb. 8 in Columbus. OSU won, 4-0, as part of its 200-match home winning streak that was snapped by Oklahoma this season.

QBs from 5A chances to throw the ball as well, finishing his freshman campaign with five touchdown passes and just one interception.

But the “specialty” portion of “specialty quarterback” came when Tebow tucked the ball and ran. He ended up being the Gators’ second leading rusher with 469 yards on the ground and he led the team with eight rushing touchdowns.

To prove Meyer’s success with his dualquarterback system, the Gators finished the year 13-1 overall, including their hammering of OSU in the title game.

In order for that system to work, Meyer said it took two players who worked well together.

“There was a very egoless approach to the game,” Meyer said. “One quarterback drives it down and the other one comes in as a goal-line quarterback, but it worked.”

The Buckeyes have varying skill sets in Barrett, Jones and Miller, but all three are also at least semi-proven full-time starters.

Miller is known best for his running ability, but has also thrown 52 touchdowns

in his career. Barrett is known as more of an accurate passer and game reader, but he ran for 938 yards and 11 scores last year, including an OSU quarterback-record 86-yard touchdown run against Minnesota.

Jones is known to have a rocket arm, but he completed just over 60 percent of his passes in limited playing time as well.

Considering his past success with a multi-quarterback system, Meyer said he’s considered that option again. But Miller and Barrett are both going through rehab this spring, and the fourth-year OSU coach stressed that Jones is still very raw.

“I’ve thought about that a little bit, but it’s one day at a time,” Meyer said. “It’s get Braxton healthy, get J.T. as many reps as he can and Cardale’s … he’s played three games.”

With Jones the only quarterback of the three at full health, the Buckeyes are scheduled to take the Ohio Stadium field on April 18 for their annual Spring Game.

OSU’s 2015 regular season is set to kick off against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va.

Then-sophomore offensive lineman Pat Elflein (left), then-junior center Jacoby Boren (50) and then-redshirtfreshman Billy Price (54) throw blocks against Alabama on Jan. 1 in New Orleans. OSU won, 42-35.

Depth from 5A With Elflein, Decker and Boren sitting out most of spring practice, another loss suffered to the offensive line was not from injury, graduation or rest.

Redshirt-senior Joel Hale, who came to OSU as a defensive lineman, moved to the offensive side of the ball for the 2014 season to assist with depth.

Now, Hale is switching back to his original position on the defensive front, which saw Michael Bennett and Steve Miller graduate. Hale saw playing time in OSU’s first four games of 2014, but did not see the field in any games after the Cincinnati game because of injury.

Meyer said Hale’s willingness to once again move positions has been a valuable asset to the OSU squad.

“I just have great respect for guys (like Joel). He’s a competitor. He’s tough. And he goes hard. Now we just have to find the right place for him,” Meyer said. “It was a

mutual conversation we had and we have a lot of respect for Joel Hale around here.”

Hale will join up with a relatively inexperienced group (outside of junior Joey Bosa and senior Adolphus Washington), and will likely see a lot of reps with Washington being limited in practice, Meyer said.

He added that in Washington’s place, redshirt-sophomore Tyquan Lewis is getting the reps opposite of Bosa with the firstteam defense, but redshirt-sophomores Michael Hill, Donovan Munger, sophomore Jalyn Holmes and redshirt-freshmen Darius Slade and Sam Hubbard have shown improvement.

“We have bodies at the position, but we aren’t even close to where we need to be,” Meyer said. “Are they trying and getting better? Yes.” The Buckeyes will have a chance to showcase their talents on April 18 during the annual Spring Game at Ohio Stadium before kicking off the 2015 regular season against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on Sept. 7.

opinion It’s worth it to reach out in the midst of suicidal thoughts Letter to the editor: Let me share my story.

Last semester, I was burned-out on a lot of fronts, extremely depressed and found myself on the brink of suicide. I had prepared to die, but I thought that, perhaps, I should give life another shot. On a whim, I called one of my classmates, who picked me up at 4 a.m. to make sure I was safe and OK. Later that day, I voluntarily checked myself into Harding Hospital at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to get professional medical attention.

The next two months were a blur of appointments, but in the midst of all of that, I got to see OSU win a national championship on TV, which was amazing.

I am forever grateful for my family, friends, peers, professors, OSU administrators and the wonderful staff at Harding Hospital, Student Health Services and Counseling and Consultation Services for supporting me unconditionally during this time. Not everyone is fortunate to

have the resources and support I did. I’m alive and lucky enough to say that asking for help was worth it.

It is natural for all of us to fear what we don’t know or what we don’t understand. But for those of us who have the courage to be here on this campus and to have our perceptions challenged, shattered and rebuilt more robustly, I want to state that that is part of the beauty of getting an education at a place like OSU, where you are constantly surrounded by unfamiliar people with different interests and backgrounds.

So with that said, I am writing this letter to address those of you who are struggling right now, because truthfully, you are far from alone when it comes to feeling alone.

We must take mental health seriously as academic-oriented people. I believe that emotional well-being comes first, before getting a college education and being set free into the “real world.”

This isn’t some fuzzy, new-age rhetoric — it’s what we humans need to have, regardless of how old we are, what backgrounds we come

from, and what kinds of problems we have on our plate. It is absolutely critical to maintain your sense of well-being when a lot of things are thrown at you to figure out for the first time as adults. The problems we begin to address run the gamut, including academics, work, rent, roommates, relationships, organizational involvement and family.

Above all else, however, our own health comes first. Sometimes, though, we don’t realize this and choose to neglect it, because all of our other problems seem so much more important. Although we all don’t face the same problems, we all want assurance that our problems can be solved. Sometimes these problems become extremely overwhelming, and we break down emotionally because we don’t know what to do any more. Extreme feelings of helplessness happen to a lot of people at some point in life, and some of us contemplate suicide. Let me remind you that suicide does not solve problems — it just takes you away from everything and everyone you ever lived for.

I understand that not everyone is comfortable putting their own private stories out here in a student newspaper like this, but I have not written this for the sake of gaining likes, promotions, friends, respect or anything of that sort. It’s to let all of you who are quietly suffering know that there are people, like me, who know how terribly you are feeling, have gotten help and have found something to live for. I still have to make the deliberate choice every day when I wake up to live each day as fully as I can, and I’m starting to see the progress.

If you are having thoughts of suicide or need someone to talk to, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800273-8255 or 911, or get yourself to the nearest emergency room.

Your life is worth living.

Drake should ban university-funded travel to Indiana Students must demand that KEVIN STANKIEWICZ OSU president address inequality Lantern reporter stankiewicz.16@osu.edu

Letter to the editor: Ohio State is the most unequal public university in the country, according to a 2014 report from the Institute for Policy Studies. What this means in the report is that salaries for university administrators have skyrocketed, while at the same time, students are going into greater amounts of debt. Student tuition is by and large not being used to finance education, but is rather being spent on making a few administrators very rich.

Let’s be clear about what this study shows: students and teachers are being driven into tremendous financial hardship, while OSU makes millions in profit for its administrators.

Those administrators line their pockets, and build fancy new facilities that increase the prestige of OSU, convincing

Thursday April 2, 2015

more students and teachers to come here and be exploited.

Student debt was more than credit card debt in the U.S. at over $1.2 trillion in 2012.

These problems are related to the university structure that is modeled on a for-profit corporation, and this report clearly shows that connection.

Students must demand that President Michael Drake address the IPS report, and lay out a plan for meaningful change. Drake should be prepared for these kinds of mass protests if he continues to ignore the exploitation of teachers and students at this school.

The IPS report can be found at ips-dc.org/ one_percent_universities.

Dan DiPiero Ph.D. student in comparative studies DiPiero.12@osu.edu

An open letter to Dr. Michael Drake: Congratulations on officially becoming the 15th president of The Ohio State University on Tuesday at your investiture ceremony. I look forward to having you lead the school throughout my next three years here and beyond.

In your investiture address, you made note of intolerance across our country and said that “universities — of all places — must welcome and celebrate all individuals, regardless of race, class, culture, orientation or identity.”

I agree. Your statement is 100 percent accurate, and that is why in light of recent legislation passed in our neighboring state of Indiana, I am asking you to ban all university-funded travel to the state as long as Senate Bill 101, in its current form, is enacted.

SB 101, known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, allows businesses to state “free exercise” of religion and use it as a defense against lawsuits. Effectively, this will allow business owners to deny any service to individuals who might conflict with their religious beliefs and then use the law as defense in court. Opponents, such as myself, fear this will allow for discrimination against LGBT individuals.

But it does not stop there. The law would allow a Christian owner of a coffee shop to deny a Jewish man wearing a kippah service if the owner feels “substantially burdened.”

The issue is that “substantially burdened” is vague and could prove to be a slippery slope.

You would not be alone, President Drake, if you took a stand against intolerance and banned university funded travel to Indiana. On Monday, San Francisco State University President Leslie E. Wong issued a statement, saying that “no San Francisco State University funds from any source — general funds or auxiliary — will be used to support employee or student travel to Indiana.” Wong called it “unconscionable” for SFSU to spend resources in a place that tries to “legislate discrimination of any kind.”

Other elected officials, such as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, have spoken out as well. Cuomo banned all travel that is “not essential” to the state, and Malloy signed an executive order that prohibits “state-funded” travel by the entire state government, the executive branch and, importantly, the University of Connecticut.

As you know, President Drake, Buckeyes are not just scarlet and gray. We are all unique and different. We come from varied backgrounds and unique creeds. As Buckeyes, we should take a stand nationally against discrimination of people with different faiths and rather, commit to tolerance.

By banning all university-funded travel to Indiana, the university would uphold its ideals of diversity.

The Indiana legislature attempted to turn back the clock to a time in our country where discrimination was widespread. With your help, we can create enough pressure on the state to revise or repeal its unfair law and move forward to a more inclusive nation.

Please, President Drake, help our nation take a step forward by suspending all university-funded travel to Indiana until the RFRA legislation is adjusted or repealed.

A taste of Columbus food through photos MOLLY TAVOLETTI Lantern reporter tavoletti.1@osu.edu

Thus far in my 22 years, I have seen and experienced a fair share of what life has to offer. In the last five years alone, I have lived in Pittsburgh, North Carolina, New York and Columbus, visiting countless cities and towns in between — and I am not afraid to admit I have fallen in love with each and every one. And in that time, I have learned one thing: If the people represent a city’s heart, the food represents its soul. A city’s food culture defines it, and Columbus is no different. Although I spent a year gallivanting through the Manhattan and Brooklyn food scene, my time eating and drinking in Columbus should hardly go unrecognized. With a local vibe that triumphs anywhere I’ve been in the world, Columbus’s food scene quite literally brings a lot to the table, if you know where to look. And with the weather finally thawing from seemingly endless winter, here are some of my must-visit venues to eat and drink in Columbus this spring.

who move around the stage on stools that have wheels on them.

Krygier said there is an ongoing relationship and connection between percussion and the Department of Dance.

Drums Downtown will include modern dance, social dances such as the foxtrot and Charleston, clogging, ballet, and a step performance from Sigma Lambda Beta. Krygier said the production will also include a variety of musical influences, ranging from ragtime to hip hop.

“It comes from a desire to collaborate,” said Susan Powell, director of percussion studies in the School of Music.

“Whirligigs,” a piece composed by Krygier, will combine both dance and music from the Sympatico Percussion Quintet.

“It’s a piece that I’m writing specifically for this. It’s going to be premiered at this event,” Krygier said. The piece will include new dance material choreographed by Sofie Clemmensen.

Both Krygier and Powell are members of Sympatico.

In addition to the wide variety of music and dance that Drums Downtown will showcase this year, the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design will provide visual works.

“Variety — I think what’s great about these events, these performances, and

Drums Downtown sets out to be more than an everyday concert.

“A lot of times in a school of music, the traditional format is: work on a piece, present it in a hall, we all applaude. But we want to go beyond that and create more of an event, a show, so that it isn’t just your typical or standard concert,” said Joseph Krygier, a lecturer in the School of Music and one of the artistic directors for the production.

Ohio State’s Department of Dance, the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design and Sigma Lambda Beta step team will collaborate with the Sympatico Percussion Quintet to create the 11th annual production of Drums Downtown this weekend.

Sympatico and the step team are new to the production this year.

“The whole program is focused around percussion,” Krygier said. “Percussion is the axis point and then, from there, we choose some repertoire each year based on a theme.”

This year’s program, “Move,” has pieces all centered around the theme of movement.

“We chose works that have some sort of movement already built into them,” Krygier said.

Specifically, “Drumroll,” a piece composed by composer Mary Ellen Childs, will feature four percussionists

W.g. Grinders out, Jersey Mike’s in Lee McClory Design editor mcclory.10@osu.edu W.g. Grinders had been a campus fixture for more than a decade, but had gained notoriety among students. The sub shop often seemed empty, leading students to joke about it being a drug front and question how it has stayed in business.

“It didn’t look established,” said Emily Makowski, a second-year in chemistry.

Grinders’ luck ran out last week when it vacated its High Street location. It is set to be replaced by another sub shop: Jersey Mike’s Subs.

Thursday April 2, 2015

The lease was transferred to Jersey Mike’s Subs in the past 10 days, said Scott Solomon, one of the owners of Oxford Realty, a Columbus-based realtor that owns the property.

Steve Minnich, one of the franchise owners of Jersey Mike’s Subs, said the restaurant is set to open in June.

Minnich said for the first five days of the opening, Jersey Mike’s plans to partner with an Ohio State-affiliated charity to provide free subs to customers in exchange for a charity donation. Minnich said Monday that the company was still considering charities with whom they would partner.

Minnich said he and his partners, Jeff

fans, and Minnich and Sponsler are both graduates of OSU. “We think there are a lot of students around OSU who would like a quality product,” Minnich said.

There are currently three Jersey Mike’s Subs locations in Columbus, according to the Jersey Mike’s website.

Maria Riley, a first-year in biomedical sciences, said she wasn’t excited about the new sub shop.

“I’m more of a Panera person,” she said.

“I go there nearly every day.”

Makowski said she was excited for the new Jersey Mike’s.

“I used to live where there were a lot of them,” she said. “Very established.”

SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Asst. arts editor ruibal.1@osu.edu This is part of a weekly series called “Pop Opinions” where The Lantern offers its take on the week’s pop culture news.

Bieber’s “roast” could have had more burns Justin Bieber had the last laugh at his own roast. The “Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” first aired Monday night and I’m not sure if much else has aired on the channel since.

The Biebz was joined on stage by roastmaster Kevin Hart and roasters included Snoop Dogg, Shaquille O’Neal and Martha Stewart.

Snoop Dogg was Snoop Dogg. By that I mean that less than 30 seconds into his roasting, he had to remind us that he was already fully toasted himself.

Shaq looked adorable in his undersized chair. His jokes weren’t bad, but did Shaq really hunch over a little desk with a little pencil and notepad crafting them himself?

His big dumb grin tells me no.

Then there was Martha Stewart. Martha donned a sweater that I swear was bought off a Quacker Factory special on QVC. It was a nice juxtaposition to her telling Bieber how to make a shank in prison and that he should call her if he wants “a player in the boardroom and a freak in the bedroom.”

But my favorite of the night was the man of the hour himself. Once everyone, including Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, took jabs at each other and Bieber, it was his turn.

“What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million?” he asked. “A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours.”

There were lesbian jokes for two hours.

And prison jokes. And jokes about Bieber’s long-lost pet monkey. It was repetitive

and it got to the point where some people desperately needed a cane to yank them off the stage.

Hannibal Buress, another one of the roasters, said he hated Bieber’s music and that he was only roasting him because it was good press for himself.

It works both ways though. The roast brought Bieber back to relevance, and yes, he’ll probably wind up as a has-been. But right now, he’s the one laughing.

“Tidal” will likely crash On Monday, hip-hop mogul Jay Z launched his newest venture: Tidal, a high-priced music streaming service for the 1 percent. Co-owners of the company include Kanye West, Daft Punk, Nicki Minaj, Arcade Fire, Jack White and Madonna — The Plastics of the music business.

Tidal promises to provide high-quality music, music videos and “expert editorial from experienced music journalists” — i.e., Jay Z won’t be endorsing Pop Opinions.

No set numbers on artist compensation have been released, but Jay promised Billboard magazine that his streaming service will give more back to the artists than Spotify does. He said it doesn’t even matter if that affects his bottom line.

When was the last time Jay Z ever had to be concerned of his bottom line? He’s married to a cash cow.

The streaming service costs $9.99 per month for premium service and $19.99 per month for “HiFi” quality — which I’m supposing is the fancy-schmancy level where I could hear every crack of Justin Bieber’s pre-pubescent voice.

But I don’t even pay 20 bucks for headphones. If I had Beats headphones and a sugar daddy, I would consider this service.

Until then, “Boyfriend” through crappy CVS headphones is all there is for me.

Drums from 1B what’s been, I think, our calling card. What’s made them successful is that there’s something for everyone,” Krygier said.

The theater setting adds another element to the performance.

“It’s in a professional theater, which I think is great,”

Pop singer Justin Bieber laughs during his Comedy Central roast that aired March 30.

Krygier said. “It’s a good experience for our students to get to do this every year, too, because we enjoy playing on campus but it’s just a different atmosphere when you’re playing in a professional theater.”

Powell noted some of the differences that the setting brings.

“It’s a production. It’s not like a traditional concert where people come on and bow and clap,” she said. “One piece

TEACHERS

goes right into the next and the lights and the staging and all of that are very thoughtfully planned. So it really is more of a production show rather than a concert.”

Tickets for Drums Downtown are $20 for the general public and $10 for senior citizens, Alumni Association members, OSU faculty and staff, students and children.

Drums Downtown is scheduled for Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre at Riffe Center on High Street.

Stories of Holocaust stitched into history OLIVIA HAMILTON Lantern reporter hamilton.889@osu.edu

Photos courtesy of CMA ‘The Bees Save Me,’ a 1996 embroidery and fabric collage by Esther Krinitz

Growing up in Poland in a Jewish family, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz and her sister Mania were the only members of their family to survive the Holocaust. Through needlework, Krinitz shared her experiences and documented the loss and sadness that swept through Poland during World War II. Krinitz started creating tapestries when she was 50 years old.

Thirty-six of her tapestries will be on display at the Columbus Museum of Art this spring.

In a 1998 interview with filmmaker Lawrence Kasdam, Krinitz described the events that tore her family apart. Her family and friends were being evacuated from their homes by Nazi soldiers, but she chose to go stay with a farmer for refuge rather than go with her family, all of whom were eventually killed at a concentration camp.

“I said, ‘I’m not going.’ My father became mute — he couldn’t talk,” Krinitz said, expressing how frightened her father was..

Though Krinitz died in 2001, her memory lives on in her artwork and a short documentary film titled “Through the Eye of the Needle,” which includes the 1998 interview. Both will be shown at the CMA. “Esther’s story of courage and remembrance is extremely moving. The fact that creative means were used to tell her story, especially by someone who did not consider herself an artist, is also profoundly moving. There are lessons in it for all of us,” Suzanne Silver, an associate professor of art said in an email.

Silver said she was able to see Krinitz’s artwork in Baltimore several years ago.

“Esther Nisenthal Krinitz’s stitched narratives provide texture — the physical texture of thread and fabric and the psychological texture and layered depth of her family’s plight,” Silver said. “It is a document of a time of horror and inhumanity. It was probably also

“They’re really a very truthful and honest glance, and very personal depiction into what exactly happened to people during the Holocaust.”

- CMA curator Carole Genshaft a cathartic act for Krintiz. A way to remember and to attempt to recover from such a trauma.”

CMA curator of education Carole Genshaft said Krinitz’s work is honest and unexaggerated.

“They’re just the way she remembered it, so they’re really a very truthful and honest glance, and very personal depiction into what exactly happened to people during the Holocaust,” Genshaft said.

“Each one she carefully stitched to tell what each part of the story is about, so there’s actually words on each of the pieces.”

Krinitz’s daughter, Bernice Steinhardt, will give a public lecture April 12 about her mother’s artwork.

Genshaft said there are various sections of the exhibition that explore the subjects of Poland before Nazi occupation, during the occupation, Krinitz hiding, her liberation and Jewish holidays through Krinitz’s tapestries. One of her tapestries depicts her family the morning they were forced out of their home. Another is a portrait of her husband before they left for America.

Genshaft said the tapestries show great detail, depth and texture.

“I think it’s a very important exhibition, because it’s the experience of this woman who was able to survive the Holocaust,” Genshaft said.

The exhibition opens Friday and will continue through June 14.

‘Coming to America,’ a 1996 embroidery and fabric collage by Esther Krinitz

‘My husband, Max Krinitz’ a 1999 embroidery and fabric collage by Esther Krinitz

Thursday April 2, 2015

‘The summer you were 3 years old dear Mami Sheine, grandma came to visit you. We went to a park where you discovered a huge tree. I never forgot the expression on your face as you stood there admiring the tree. Grandma loves you so much.’ – Esther Krinitz 1999

‘This was my family on the morning of October 15, 1942. We were ordered by the Gestapo to leave our homes by 10 a.m. to join all the other Jews on the road to Crasnik Railroad Station and then to their death.’ – Esther Krinitz 1991

‘July 1942. My father had been collecting pine tar for a local landowner when the Gestapo ordered my brother Ruben to report to Janiszew Labor Camp ... My father said that neither one of them would go, and took my brother into the forest with him. They had built a hut for themselves, where they slept and worked.’ – Esther Krinitz 1996.
