OSU welcomes first student-run food pantry Ariana Bernard

Station Manager bernard.185@osu.edu Most college students are already on a tight budget when it comes to buying food, but for some, the struggle to afford their next meal is a serious concern.

On Wednesday, Buckeye Food Alliance opened a food pantry on Ohio State’s campus in order to combat the growing issue of food insecurity on college campuses.

BFA was founded two years ago after five roommates began researching ways to fight hunger on campus. Through partnerships with the university, BFA opened the doors to its food pantry, located in Suite 150 of Lincoln Tower on West Campus.

Dave Isaacs, spokesman for the Office of Student Life, said 15 percent of OSU students self-reported having low food security in a 2014 National Student Financial Wellness Study.

Thomas Rosenberger, co-founder of BFA, said it is a community effort to help these students in need and keep the pantry stocked. “(Donated food) comes from a lot of places. We’ve had residence halls run food drives for us, we’re working with local churches to run food drives, so it’s really a community effort to bring food in,” the fourth-year in marketing and economics said.

Alec Admonius, treasurer and co-founder of BFA, said this is an issue that is visible on every college campus, not just OSU.

“I think it’s important for this to be available to students, not just at OSU but at every college, just because tuition is so expensive everywhere,” the third-year in economics and strategic communication said. “This is not just an OSU issue, it’s a nationwide issue. This affects not only someone’s daily life but also someone’s actual ability to achieve in school.”

The pantry offers nonperishable food items to students who show their BuckID and do not have the Unlimited or Scarlet 14 meal plans. It is open from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sundays and from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Logan Phares, a third-year in public affairs, said she believes that BFA is one of “the most imPANTRY CONTINUES ON 3

Youth broadcast for a better community Carlee Frank

Lantern reporter frank.442@osu.edu An Ohio State-based radio show is helping provide a platform for the voices of local high school and college students.

Youth Beat Radio airs every Monday night at 7:30 p.m. on Columbus radio station WCRS, 102.1 and 98.3 FM. The show, which is sometimes hosted by high school and college students, focuses on the youth of Columbus in order to shed light on their involvement in the community and encourage future leadership.

“I have yet to find another media platform that is based entirely on youth and what they are doing in the community and one that empowers them,” said Nishant Makhija, former executive producer of Youth Beat Radio.

Youth Beat Radio was developed in 2009 by Kristi Lekies, the show’s executive producer and an associate professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources. She said what began simply as her OSU outreach responsibilities is now a powerful platform for change. Lekies said that she sees too many negative images of youth in the world today.

“There are a lot of positive things that young people are doing, too, but they are not given the attention that they deserve,” Lekies said.

The show is run by Lekies and a small group of OSU undergraduates and recent graduates. They interview Columbus-area students, youth organizations, local organizations and politicians on topics such as college debt, safe COTA navigation, college preparation and local drug issues.

Most importantly, Lekies said, they learn what youth are doing in the community, such as commuRADIO CONTINUES ON 2

The event Rights, Responsibilities and Relations brought together Ohio State and Columbus police officers and members of the OSU community to hold a dialogue about policing, race and safety.

Sustained Dialogue at OSU hosted the open-dialogue dinner on Thursday, along with OSU’s Black Student Association and the Undergraduate Student Government.

Sustained Dialogue chapter president Stephen Post said he realized back in the fall that they should address issues of police and safety because it is a topic on people’s minds. The organization seeks social change and to build relationships through different people sharing their thoughts and opinions in an open-dialogue situation.

“I hoped that this event would provide a safe space for students and Columbus-area law enforcement to have the opportunity to engage in thoughtful, meaningful discussions about how to improve their relationship,” Rhiana Shabazz, a fourth-year in health information management and systems and vice president of the Black Student Association, said in a an email. “We want the students at Ohio State to see law enforcement as their supporter, not an enemy.

We also want students to feel safe on campus. We were hoping this program would serve as the beginning phase for bridging that gap.”

A NOTE FROM THE DESIGN DESK Welcome to the new redesign of The Lantern. Over the past few weeks, our team has been cooking up new logos, selecting new fonts and tweaking parts of the design to make your Lantern experience better than ever. Today we debut a new wordmark that gives a modern update to a classic Lantern look, and a logo inspired by an actual lantern in a vintage staff photo. The dots in the upper left corner help you find today’s paper on newsstands

at a glance, and each section has been updated with a new logo in addition to smaller under-the-hood changes. Expect the new look to spread to The Lantern’s social and digital channels in the coming weeks — and in the meantime, thanks for still reading the print edition.

DIALOGUE FROM 1

The event combined dinner with casual conversation about police-enforcement issues and concerns. Tables were comprised of police officers, sustained dialogue moderators, students, faculty, staff and administrators.

“To be able to share these things and truly kind of reduce the tension, reduce the conflict, reduce anything that’s even just sitting there. We might not even realize on a day-to-day basis that we think about these things and have some of these predispositions,” Post said. “Just kind of bringing those out and talking about some of these things I think really gives people a sense of where they’re at with a situation and gives them a little bit more knowledge as well … I really want this to be a first step and not a last step.”

Post, a second-year in political science and economics, said that Sustained Dialogue meets every week for an open dialogue.

“So you get to really know the people that you’re having these dialogues with,” he said. “You really get to know their experiences, their identities, and we talk about different social identities, any issues that are pertinent at the time.”

Hannah McCandless, a fourthyear in international studies, said the group is a “relationship-based tool for social change.”

“It’s about creating social change by creating change in ourselves first,” she said. “You’re in a room with people that you don’t know and that are different and you’re talking and you’re sharing and through that the goal is to be changed by what you hear which is something we talk about a lot. To listen deeply enough that

Post said Sustained Dialogue covers different types of issues, such as social identities or race, and also hosts dialogues between contentious parties when two different groups are unable to talk to one another in order to bring them together.

McCandless said Post got the idea for Rights, Responsibilities and Relations after the shooting of an unarmed black male by a police officer in Cincinnati, and the group discussed the incident at its first meeting in the fall.

McCandless recalled Post saying that a similar situation could arise in Columbus, so people should be proactive, and that he wanted to have a dialogue with police officers and OSU students, and talk about race Vice President of Student Life Javaune Adams-Gaston spoke to the audience at the event, along with the Columbus Chief of Police Kim Jacobs and the keynote speaker, Terrell Strayhorn.

Capt. Eric Whiteside, who works for University Police, attended the event as well.

“I was hoping for a dialogue … I think we accomplished that.

I like to go to these events to listen, to hear what’s being said,” Whiteside said. “I think it’s really important to get feedback from the community that we serve and hear about how we’re doing and their situations when they interact with our department and other agencies, listen to what kind of questions they might have, provide feedback and just have a good, honest discussion, and I think that was accomplished.”

Whiteside said that he learned a lot from the different stories and feedback from the group of people at his table.

“Anytime we have an opportunity to sit down and talk about what we do and how we do it and to hear people, hear how we’re doing, obviously we’re here to serve our community and we want to make sure that we’re doing it in

a way that has their respect and support,” Whiteside said. “As an agency, I think we found a lot of value in this and I think anytime we can seek out an opportunity to do something similar, we’re gonna do that.”

Shabazz said the event changed the way she thinks about police, and that BSA, Sustained Dialogue and police are open to a follow-up event.

“A lot of the police officers were a lot friendlier and outgoing (than) I anticipated … I have a completely new opinion and a different respect level for the Columbus and OSU PD after taking the time to get to know them,” she said.

Post said the group hopes that now that students, faculty and staff have had the chance to converse with different members of law enforcement, they will be able to look at situations in a different way and share what they have learned.

“I hope that people will take those perspectives and those ideas and share them, bring them up in conversations when you do hear someone say a comment or something about it,” Post said. “These people have participated in a dialogue, they’ve had these conversations, they’ve talked about it before, so now they’re knowledgeable on the topic and will spread those perspectives around.”

Makhija, who is currently residing in New York City but still helps with the show, coordinated after-school programs with schools such as Upper Arlington and Linden-McKinley high schools.

“We aim to teach kids how to tell stories and educate their peers in the community,” he said.

During these programs, Makhija would teach the students about radio writing, recording and editing. Students would also conduct interviews of their own, typically with influential people in their schools, and create content for Youth Beat.

“Even if students don’t want to get involved with radio or broadcast after this, it still helps them connect to their community in a new way,” said Nicole Jackson, a 2011 OSU graduate with a degree in environmental education, who works with Youth Beat.

Jackson said Youth Beat gives young people confidence to communicate with their community, which she said is especially important when they are told they are better seen than heard.

While Youth Beat mainly focuses on youth opinion and involvement, it also interviews individuals who are working on youth-oriented issues, such as Representatives Joyce Beatty and Steve Stivers.

“Joyce and Steve talked about the way Congress works, but also how they are pushing for youth legislation and that they work on youth issues that concern young people daily,” Makhija said.

Lekies said that she designed the show to appeal to all ages. While it is focused on youth, she said that she hopes it inspires people to not only appreciate young people more but to also get involved with the community. She said that so many youth are making positives changes in their communities, and it’s time for older generations to as well.

“There’s a lot of doom and gloom out there about the state of the world, and this show makes me have a lot of hope that there are hard-working people out there looking to change the world in positive ways,” Lekies said.

“I was able to meet with the founders of this organization, and I was very impressed by their passion for this issue and the initiative that they took to get this program started,” Phares said. “I would encourage anyone who has the ability to donate and volunteer with the pantry and anyone who is struggling to afford healthy food options to take advantage of the program.”

Rosenberger said the group has looked to Michigan State University’s food pantry as a guide in forming OSU’s. MSU has the oldest food pantry on a college campus at around 30 years old, he said. The pantry distributes about $100,000 of food every year and helps about 400 people each month. Rosenberger said his goal is to hit similar numbers.

“This cause is really all about helping out your fellow Buckeyes,” Rosenberger said. “With

rising cost of tuition, books or a whole host of issues, it sometimes becomes more difficult for students who don’t necessarily have as much financial support.”

New bakery influenced internationally Kevin Stankiewicz

Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu If nothing else, Elena’s Specialty Cakes’ facade will catch one’s eye.

The bakery, which opened in the northern-most tip of the Short North in early March, stands out amid the strip of brick storefronts because of its bright pink wooden trim and vibrant green door.

Step inside and the exterior color scheme reappears. The walls are the same pink, with green and white accents. Natural light from the large window fills the cozy space.

“I tried to make it welcoming,” said Elena Birukow, the store’s co-owner and lone baker.

Actually, there’s a better reason for the shop’s palette.

“Well, I sort of just like these colors,” she said, laughing.

Birukow came to the United States from Russia 10 years ago and moved to Columbus soon after.

Her cake-making service in Columbus initially began as making them for friends, she said.

Eventually it grew to a point

where Birukow, after encouragement from her daughter, Svetlana Stolz, opted to open the storefront at 1247 N. High St. Stolz helps run the financial side of the business.

There is not a menu hanging behind the counter, or, for that matter, anywhere in the store. That’s because, at this point, what’s for sale at Elena’s Specialty Cakes can change anytime. A concrete menu has yet to materialize due to a couple of reasons.

For one, she wants to cater to her customers’ cravings. She said if she notices a particular item generating rave reviews, she’ll bake it more frequently.

The second reason is because Birukow has been baking for more than 30 years, making her repertoire large. While still living in her native Russia, she spent more than 20 years baking in a variety of restaurants. Since moving to the United States 10 years ago, she’s worked at multiple supermarkets, such as The Andersons, expanding her list of recipes even further.

She said she can bake nearly anything, making it hard to choose what should be on the menu.

In the display case on the day The Lantern visited, Elena’s Spe-

It’s difficult to pinpoint a specialty for the bakery.

“I adapt all my experiences and try to create my own style and taste,” Birukow said.

She described her personal

baking style as fluffy and light, with a focus on using high-quality natural ingredients to make the individual flavors in each creation stand out.

“When you eat at my bakery, it won’t feel too heavy in your stomach,” Birukow said. “You could eat it before dinner and not be too

full.”

Despite the eye-popping display of bakery items kept in-store, one of the store’s largest offerings are just what its name suggests: specialty cakes.

Birukow said every part of the cakes are edible, from the bottom layer to the top ornate layer.

Betsy Pandora, the executive director of the Short North Alliance, praised the addition of Birukow’s store. In an email, Pandora noted how its small, locally owned flavor fits with “the majority” of the district’s more than 350 businesses.

Of those, Elena’s Specialty Cakes joins Piece of Cake and Laughlin’s Bakery as the third

bakery in the district, Pandora said.

“Elena’s seems like a perfect fit for the Short North Arts District,” she said.

The reciprocal is also true.

Birukow said the Short North is an ideal place for her, noting how living in Moscow sparked her love for the urban atmosphere.

Birikow has found a home for her specialty pastries and cakes, behind her bright green door.

Knowlton exhibits feature range of talents Maria Fernandez

Lantern reporter fernandez.198@osu.edu The Banvard Gallery is set for a busy April.

The Ohio State community will have many opportunities to see an array of projects that range from the works of a world-renowned architect to those of Knowlton School of Architecture professors and students. The exhibitions featured are the João Nunes: Landscape Works, Right of Way and Looped Matter.

João Nunes: Landscape Works The Glimcher Distinguished Visiting Professor Exhibit will feature João Nunes, a renowned European architect. The exhibit is technically taking place outside of the Banvard Gallery in the main hall of Knowlton. It will feature 51 different four-by-four-foot models, some created by Nunes.

The architect has visited OSU three times this year to work with and give advice to students in the landscape architecture program.

Based on these interactions, 11 students have devised models.

Paula Meijerink, an associate professor in landscape architecture, worked closely with the students in developing their models as well.

“Our challenge was to show a material deposit that’s been an accumulation of time,” she said.

“We asked them to combine this with one particular built work by Nunes and to represent that in a model.”

The models range from samples of different soils in shopping malls to papers that had been purposely left on the floor that collected an accumulation of footprints. All of the models have to do with the theme of passing of time.

Meijerink recommends that students see the exhibit for a variety of reasons.

“It’s insightful to see the concepts from the classroom implemented in these models and see how they bring to the foreground the themes of a famous architect like Nunes,” she said.

Landscape Works will be on display until Sept. 15.

“The exhibit basically explores how a line is indeterminate; how you can program a line to do so many things.”

Carrie McKnelly 2015-16 LeFevre fellow

R.O.W. The Right of Way exhibit features work from students studying city and regional planning, a major that also is in the School of Architecture.

“We’ve never had the gallery space,” said Sarah Davis, a thirdyear in city and regional planning.

“Usually it’s landscape or regular architecture.”

Davis and 10 other students studying city and regional planning, have designed a re-creation of a road. The first half of the road is chaotic and dangerous with narrow sidewalks, no bike lanes, dimly-lit roads and the landscape not taken into account. The road then transitions to a safe one which rectifies these issues, showing what good urban planning does. Once the viewer crosses the road, they are presented with a summary of all the facets of the road plan.

Davis strongly encourages that students view the exhibit so they can see what a direct impact city and regional planning has on their everyday lives.

“City planning is one of those things that you don’t see how it impacts your daily life until you

experience it,” she said. “Our exhibit shows that good planning impacts just walking down the street.”

Davis also said she hopes it might pique students’ interest in the major.

“Most people don’t go in college with a (city and regional planning) major,” she said. “It’s not really something you learn about in high school.”

R.O.W. will be on display until Friday.

Looped Matter Carrie McKnelly is the 201516 recipient of Knowlton’s LeFevre Fellowship, which is awarded annually to an emerging architect who has the potential to make a lasting mark on the profession.

Knowlton provides McKnelly a platform to do her research over the academic year. McKnelly will be unveiling some of that research, specifically exemplified by structures and knit patterns, in her exhibit, Looped Matter.

“I’m exploring a play on using material to find forms,” McKnelly said. “The exhibit basically explores how a line is indeterminate; how you can program a line to do so many things.”

Through the sewing of knit shapes, McKnelly said that she hopes to hint at a new form of tensile architecture.

McKnelly is set to present a lecture at Knowlton on April 13 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gui Auditorium.

She said she plans to discuss three of her projects but will mostly focus on the one on display. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Looped Matter will be on display from April 13 to Sept. 15.

Remixes and good luck make this week’s best songs Sam Kayuha

Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu It is easy to fall into a hole on Soundcloud, where one bedroom producer leads you to another, then another, and before you know it, you’re listening to a mix of the best Russian house music of 2013.

But now that Soundcloud is venturing into paid subscriptions, it might become less of a free music hub than it once was.

What might be one of the best releases of the week, Lido’s “The Life of Peder,” has not yet been put on Soundcloud. It can be found for free elsewhere, a sign that charging for what has always been free might not be in Soundcloud’s best interest.

“The Life of Peder” by Lido Kanye West publicly tinkered with his album “The Life of Pablo” since its release a month ago, before it was made available for

purchase and streaming last weekend. But before Spotify listeners could hear it, another version of the album was being made — a remix that almost matched the original’s quality.

Lido is a Norwegian producer with his share of Soundcloud fame, but he blew up last week when he posted an eight-minute remix on his website that included almost every song from “The Life of Pablo.” He called it “The Life of Peder” — Lido’s name offstage being Peder Losnegård.

It has four main parts, in which Lido weaves different beats, lyrics and melodies from “Pablo” together. There are also plenty of outside additions, such as samples from “Black Skinhead” and West’s infamous “I’ma let you finish” speech. He adds vocals and synths over “Father Stretch My Hands” and mixes the instrumental from “Highlights” with the a capella “I Love Kanye” to brilliant

effect.

The best moment comes at the end of “I Love Kanye,” with Lido chopping up West’s chuckle and throwing a rumbling beat behind it. The mix transitions into a mellow outro that ends with the eerie whistling from “Wolves.”

(Lil Yachty’s) sound centers on his mumbled half-rapped, half-sung delivery above sparkling, lowkey beats.

It’s bit of a mind-bending listen, especially if you have spent a large amount of time listening to “The Life of Pablo.” The songs are given a second life, ingeniously blended into one. It has been

said that this is just part one, but whether there is enough material left for a part two probably doesn’t matter, because Lido could take just about anything and make it insanely listenable.

“Summer Songs” by Lil Yachty This album was put back on streaming services after a few weeks away, in time for a proper summer release.

Yachty is part of the next wave of left-of-mainstream rappers coming out of Atlanta. His sound centers on his mumbled halfrapped, half-sung delivery above sparkling, low-key beats.

“Flexin On my Ex’s” is about as strange, and great, as the album gets. The beat is so simple that it sounds unfinished. Its main riff is perfect for the theme song for an educational program on PBS. Vocals are slurred just enough to make lines like, “I just bought a new watch ‘cause it was time,” sound ingenious.

“Come Up” is another highlight, a sleepily mesmerizing track that has Yachty trying out his best boasts.

It is not a perfect release, but it is the sound of someone just starting to figure out his sound and head down his lane. Expect to hear his name a lot more.

“You Don’t Have to Be Alone”

by DJDS with Charlie Wilson An attempt at clearing a sample from a 2005 Charlie Wilson record ended with the producing duo DJDS in the studio with the legendary soul singer. Hardly ever does the nightmarish process of sample clearance end this well, and the three made the best of it.

“You Don’t Have to Be Alone” is a powerful, pulsating track that reaches its peak and somehow keeps climbing. Use this song to help make it up a hill on your next run, then maybe shed a tear at the top.

Melton, who is a member of the U.S. Senior National Team, earned the gold medal for his all-around performance, scoring a six-event high score of 89.75 en route to his first Big Ten all-around win. He is the first OSU men’s gymnast to win the all-around title since 2004.

Yoder, meanwhile, finished in second place, putting up a sixevent score of 87.55.

Despite being recognized for his solo performance, Melton remains focused on the success of the team.

“Anything individual is just another plus, but my main goal is the team title,” Melton said. “I’m going to enjoy it and I’m excited about it, but the team title is my No. 1 priority.”

In the individual championships, which were held on Saturday, the Buckeyes grabbed three event titles. Melton won the parallel bars (16.175), which is a new school record, and the floor exercise (15.450), while Yoder won on the

pommel horse (15.225). OSU also had three second-place finishes, with Melton on the rings (15.100), Delbridge in the vault (13.325) and Johnson on the high bar (14.550).

Yoder said he finds pride in the team success and individual accolades while also taking in the emotion of the big stage.

“This is surreal, this is something that I’ve been dreaming about for a long time,” Yoder said.

“I’m just so proud of this team and (I’m) just amazed with this whole experience.”

The Buckeyes are next set to have the benefit of competing on their home floor once again as they host the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships. OSU looks poised for a successful showing after dominating the conference championships, as six of the Big Ten teams it defeated ranked in the top 10 nationally.

The event is scheduled to be held April 15 and 16 at St. John Arena.

in a row and is in the midst of a nine-game homestand that stretches until April 13. The Golden Flashes have been led at the plate by the performance of senior infielder Zarley Zalewski. The New Kensington, Pennsylvania, native has a .343 batting average with three homers and 29 RBIs. Kent State has also been powered by sophomore infielder Dylan Rosa, who is batting .340 with a team-leading seven homers and 33 RBIs. Kent State is scheduled to send freshman pitcher Connor Wollersheim (2-1) to the mound versus OSU. The Neenah, Wisconsin, native boasts a 3.20 ERA in five appearances for the Golden Flashes, including four starts. In his last appearance against Lake Erie College, Wollersheim pitched 5.0 innings of scoreless baseball, allowing no hits and two walks to lead Kent State to a 9-1 victory.

Pride on the line OSU is set to hand the ball to freshman pitcher Ryan Feltner (1-1), who rebounded nicely in his last start to earn the first win of his collegiate career. After allowing 10 hits and five runs to the Xavier Musketeers on March 22, Feltner held the Ohio Bobcats to one run, scattering five hits over his 5.2 innings of work, allowing OSU to win the game 6-3.

Beals said the freshman-on-freshman matchup should give fans a deep look into the future of each program, and even though it’s just a nonconference game, Beals thinks pride will be on the line for both squads.

“There’s going to be two programs on the field that have a lot of pride, and it’s definitely going to be a good ball game,” Beals said. “I went to Kent, it’s my alma mater. I coached there and I know for a fact that they believe that

they’re the best baseball program in the state of Ohio. I know we believe that as well. There’s going to be two teams absolutely ready to go (Tuesday).”

OSU’s sixth-year coach said he was pleased with his team’s ability to defend its home turf, crediting his players for cleaning up the mental mistakes that plagued them earlier this season. Although it played five games last week, Beals said his team will be ready for Kent State on Tuesday.

“We’ve had a great homestand,” Beals said. “We’re playing well right now and it’s going to be important that we can continue this trend on the road.”

The first pitch against the Golden Flashes is scheduled to be thrown out at 4 p.m. on Tuesday in Kent, Ohio.

A DECORATED DECADE Ohio State MEN’S GYMNASTICS

Tom Ryan carves out championship culture for Ohio State wrestling in first 10 years dominates

at Big Ten championships

Nicholas McWilliams Lantern reporter mcwilliams.66@osu.edu

It doesn’t take a diehard fan of collegiate wrestling to see how much improvement the Ohio State wrestling team has undergone in the past decade. Much of the change can be attributed to its coach, Tom Ryan.

Throughout his first 10 years with the program, Ryan has produced a pair of runner-up finishes in the NCAA tournament, the first conference title for the Buckeyes in 64 years and a team national championship, the first in the history of an OSU wrestling program that first hit the mats in 1921.

Along with the team accomplishments, six Buckeyes have earned national championships with Ryan at the helm. Two of the individual crowns were won this season by sophomore Kyle Snyder and freshman Myles Martin, while Logan Stieber claimed the other four from 2012 to 2015.

The backing and following of the OSU wrestling team has reached new levels under the guidance of the former Iowa wrestler.

“I remember when I first got the job here, I had a blow-up mattress and I would just sleep in the office,” Ryan said. “(OSU) hooked me up with a hotel room downtown, but I rarely left here.”

With his family still back in New York preparing to make the move to Columbus, Ryan said he could immerse himself in his work, dedicating every moment to wrestling.

his coaching staff, as well as structure the program for the foreseeable future.

Through tireless work and effort, Ryan was able to produce back-to-back second-place finishes at the NCAA championships in his second and third seasons.

Fast forward six years, and the Buckeyes were hoisting a national-championship trophy for the first time in the team’s existence.

The turnaround has brought national attention to the Buckeyes as a powerhouse in the wrestling world, giving OSU great leverage in terms of recruiting. Since 2012, each of Ryan’s recruiting classes have been ranked in the top 10, according to D1 College Wrestling, with the 2014 class peaking at No. 5.

“The younger kids now that are growing up, the seed that’s planted in their brain watching the TV

is Ohio State,” Ryan said. “When I first got here, they were not saying that necessarily.”

A change in culture and networking across the state with people who have a passion for the sport have helped the program to grow at OSU. The support of donors and contributors to the program and the university have also been instrumental, Ryan said.

Tangible evidence of the rise in prominence is the proposed training center for the team, which is set to begin construction sometime this year.

Although things would seem to be going in an entirely new direction, Ryan claimed there was nothing revolutionary or new implemented by the three-time national coach of the year when he arrived in Ohio’s capital city.

“We haven’t reinvented any wheels here,” Ryan said. “You

study what schools in various sports have done really well, and you try to put that in place where you are.”

Following a decade of being at the helm for the Scarlet and Gray, Ryan has solidified the wrestling program as one of OSU’s most-followed sports outside of football and basketball. Ryan said fans should continue to watch and cheer on the wrestling team as it continues to build.

“I think the best days are ahead of us,” he said with a smile.

OSU begins road swing at Kent State Giustino Bovenzi Lantern reporter bovenzi.3@osu.edu

After reaping the benefits from a homestand that saw 10 wins in 11 games, the Ohio State baseball team is set to head on the road for a Tuesday afternoon showdown with the Kent State Golden Flashes (19-8).

OSU (19-7-1) is on a seven-game winning streak and leads the Big Ten in five batting categories: home runs (33), doubles (65), runs (188), RBIs (173) and walks (131). The nonconference matchup opens a four-game road swing that is set to end with a three-game series against the Maryland Terrapins in College Park, Maryland, over the weekend.

Another Buckeye who is excelling at the plate is redshirt junior right fielder Jacob Bosiokovic.

The Delaware, Ohio, native is bat-

ting .338 and is tied with Purdue’s Kyle Wood for the lead in the Big Ten with nine home runs.

Beals said his players have developed a confidence in their abilities to score runs at will, which stems from an increase in produc-

tion at every slot in the lineup.

“When we’re able to get that production down there in that seven-, eight- and nine-hole area, that supports the top of the lineup,” Beals said. “Our first four guys at the top of the lineup are as good as anybody in the country, I feel like. So that balance makes it even tougher on our opponent.

“Our guys just need to keep doing what they’re doing. I don’t believe that we’ve even got clicking as well as we’re capable of from an offensive standpoint, so that’s exciting from a coaching standpoint that there is still room for improvement offensively.”

The confidence generated at the plate has also given OSU’s pitching staff the freedom to be aggressive and attack opposing hitters.

In turn, the Buckeye pitching staff is also leading the conference in wins (19) and strikeouts (234).

St. John Arena played host to the Big Ten Men’s Gymnastics Championships over the weekend, and the hosting team stole the show, grabbing the team title among a trove of other accolades.

The No. 3 Ohio State men’s gymnastics team capped off a thrilling Friday night with a team championship, while also boasting two of the events’ top all-around scorers from a pair of Olympic hopefuls, redshirt sophomore Sean Melton and freshman Alec Yoder. Then, the following night, the Buckeyes collected all three of the major end-of-the-year awards and multiple event titles.

“This is surreal, this is something that I’ve been dreaming about for a long time.”

“I’m glad (the guys) have stuck with the process of what we’re trying to implement, and I think it’s very sweet to get these results,” said OSU coach Rustam Sharipov. “I think it’s a great reward to see them happy and, of course, they make me happy.”

OSU, which now owns 13 Big Ten championships, last won the conference title in 2007. Coincidentally, this marks the first time since that year that the event was hosted by the Buckeyes.

A fitting coda to the big weekend came when the Scarlet and Gray had multiple individuals recognized for their successful seasons, including Sharipov, who won the Big Ten Coach of the Year award. Melton received the conference’s gymnast of the year award, while Yoder earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

The All-Big Ten teams were also announced. Melton and Yoder took home first-team honors, while sophomore Seth Delbridge and senior Alex Johnson received spots on the second team. Johnson was also recognized with the Sportsmanship Award.

Melton finished first in three separate events on Friday night, including rings (15.850), floor exercise (15.400) and parallel bars (15.500). Yoder also put up impressive numbers on the night, finishing second on the pommel horse (15.250), fourth on rings (15.150) and fifth on high bar (14.100).
