LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

A BUSY BREAK

Time and change KAYLEE HARTER Editor-in-Chief harter.830@osu.edu Dear Buckeyes, Welcome –– It’s good to have you here. It’s hard to believe that my first day of classes here was four years ago and that this first day will be my last. I still remember the first time I stepped foot in KCOMM, the first time I watched Script Ohio as a student and the first story I wrote for The Lantern.

I’ve changed and grown throughout these past four years and so has this campus. The best advice I can give is to both question and embrace that transformation.

Ohio State’s summer in review SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu LYDIA WEYRICH Assistant Campus Editor weyrich.4@osu.edu A Lantern lawsuit, Lyft and litigation; these items are just the beginning of a laundry list of news that came out of Ohio State over the summer.

Ohio State took steps toward expanding upon the student experience through a partnership with Lyft and the extension of Student Legal Services to include immigration services.

In addition, Ohio State continued to deal with ongoing litigation over the summer. The university was found to have known about Dr. Richard Strauss’ abuse, to have failed to return public records in a timely manner, while also releasing highly anticipated text messages regarding former wide receivers coach Zach Smith.

Report determines Ohio State knew of Dr. Richard Strauss’ abuse At the beginning of the summer, an independent investigation determined that university employees knew of abuse by former Ohio State physician Richard

Strauss that involved at least 177 student-athletes and students as early as 1979. The abuse was reported to the State Medical Board of Ohio in 1996, but Ohio State allowed Strauss to retire with emeritus status in 1998 and took no action against him, according to a report released May 17.

“This issue was a place where the university fell short of its responsibilities to our students. We will go forward as we digest the report to do all that we can to be appropriate.”

MICHAEL V. DRAKE University President

The report followed a $6.2 million investigation done by Perkins Coie LLP that began in April 2018 and analyzed 34,000 documents from archives and outside sources and conducted 600 interviews, U.S. attorney Markus Funk said in November 2018.

Strauss was an employee of the university from 1978 to 1998, during which he served as team doctor for 17 men’s varsity sports

and as a physician at the Student Health Center. Strauss died by suicide in 2005.

Complaints and reports about Strauss’ conduct were not elevated beyond the athletic department or Student Health Services until 1996.

Following the report’s release, University President Michael V. Drake offered apologies to the victims.

“This issue was a place where the university fell short of its responsibilities to our students,” Drake said. “We will go forward as we digest the report to do all that we can to be appropriate.”

Ohio State continues to offer free counseling to anyone impacted by Strauss’ abuse.

In response to the report’s release, another lawsuit against Ohio State was filed on behalf of 37 former athletes and victims of Strauss’ abuse.

Ohio State launches new safe ride partnership with Lyft Ohio State replaced the free, university-operated Safe Ride service with a discounted ride share program called Lyft Ride Smart at Ohio State.

The university offers 10,000 discounted night rides per month with a $5 coupon per ride within the designated campus service

area, with the goal of providing more rides with shorter wait times, University Spokesman Dan Hedman said. Ride costs are expected to be $2 or less per person.

H e d man said the Lyft program can provide five t i m e s more rides than the Safe Ride Kate Greer program could. Enrolled students can use Lyft Ride Smart from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. within the parameters of north to Hudson Street, south to Fifth Avenue, east to Conrail railroad tracks and west to North Star Road. The northern boundary west of Olentangy River Road is Ackerman Road, Hedman said.

Undergraduate Student Government President Kate Greer said that an improved Safe Ride program has been a USG project for several administrations and that rides should be used for their intended purpose of emergency situations.

Lyft has previously partnered with other universities such as University of Southern SUMMARY CONTINUES ON 5

Things around here never stop changing –– we’ve stayed busy this summer at The Lantern. We hope this issue will bring you up to date on what you missed this summer and cue you in on what’s new here in Columbus.

Each year brings a new adventure and there’s no way to anticipate how things will change this year. Though I don’t know what this year will bring, I do know that The Lantern will be ready and waiting to keep you informed.

We are here to keep you updated on everything from concerts to athletics to changes on campus.

Give us a read –– you can find us online at thelantern.com or in print around campus. I hope that throughout this year, we will not only keep you informed, but make you think. If there’s something you think we’re missing, you can always email me at harter.830@ osu.edu.

This is a new beginning for us both; it’s The Lantern’s first print and your first day. Let’s take on this year together.

All the best,

Free menstrual product pilot beginning in dorms SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu Free tampons and pads will be provided in select residence halls’ bathrooms and laundry rooms as a part of an Ohio State pilot program in partnership with Undergraduate Student Government and student organization Period OSU. The pilot program will provide free tampons and pads in baskets on bathroom sinks in Bowen and Raney Houses as well as in dispensers in the laundry rooms of Jones and Taylor Towers to gather data about whether they are used appropriately, Anush Singh, president of Period OSU and a thirdyear in neuroscience, said. If the program is successful, it could be expanded to all residence halls.

Singh said this program builds off the previous initiative to put products in academic buildings. Julia Dennen, USG Vice President, said that the previous program was successfully implemented in over 150 academic buildings and every Student Life building following a pilot program that began in January 2018.

“This was basically a next step, getting it to the residence halls,” Singh said. “It’s a very exciting

next step, and we really look forward to hopefully seeing it happen full-fledged after the pilot program.”

Singh said that an overwhelming response to surveys regarding menstrual products in the dorms helped create the pilot, and the dorm program will be tracked for at least the upcoming semester but may be extended for the year.

Singh said that when the idea for the pilot was first conceived, there was some debate between putting products in C-stores as opposed to residence halls, but ultimately, residence halls were chosen due to the program’s goal of reducing barriers — like cost — to menstrual products.

“We chose to push for it in residence halls because it just made a lot more sense, and our whole mission is trying to fight period poverty and making it not just more accessible, but more affordable for students who are pinching pennies trying to get by in college, and we just don’t want it to be a barrier for any student,” Singh said.

Dispensers in the laundry rooms of Jones and Taylor will aim to provide a more private atmosphere, and the baskets on the community bathroom sinks of Bowen and Raney will include

much concern about the tampons and pads being stolen.

“We’re not concerned about them being stolen because if you have to steal and take tampons and pads, then do it,” Dennen said. “If we can provide it for you, that speaks to a much larger problem about the cost of these items, and if you feel the need to do that, then that is a bigger problem we need to solve.”

Singh said that if the pilot works out, she hopes the university can lead by example and create a ripple effect among other universities.

“I think it’ll be huge if Ohio State is able to successfully do this because we are the second-largest public university, so a lot of eyes are on us right now,” Singh said.

Ohio State helps fight South African ‘superbugs’ SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu With antibiotic resistance, or “superbugs,” on the rise, a program within the Wexner Medical Center is on a mission to train pharmacists how to responsibly dispense antibiotics by bringing them across the Atlantic Ocean to Columbus.

“It’s hard to work towards a goal if you’ve never actually seen someone succeed at it, so by coming here, they actually see a very successful program.

Although they might not have all of our resources, they now know it actually is possible.”

Program Aug. 4 - 15, which has focused on adult care for the last nine years. After their visit, the pharmacists will return to South Africa to train more pharmacists in a “train the trainer” style program.

Debbie Goff, Ohio State infectious disease clinical pharmacist, said that South Africa is in an infant mortality crisis. Some of

the problems contributing to that, Goff said, are the lack of health care providers and specialized pharmacists, the large volume of patients, and lack of prenatal care, which has led to the irresponsible use of antibiotics.

Goff said she helped to implement the stewardship program in partnership with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to increase

the number of specialized clinical pharmacists in South Africa and help combat the crisis.

Pablo Sanchez, professor of pediatrics in the Ohio State College of Medicine and neonatologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, said that the goal of the program is to limit antibiotic use for specific infections instead of as a generalized treatment.

“Our goal is to contain these multidrug resistant organisms so that we can save the antibiotics that we have for treatment of real infections, and we can do that by limiting the antibiotic use in babies who really are not infected or we think may be infected, but we don’t have a specific organism,” Sanchez said.

G o f f said that the program consists of preparation with online reading, and when the pharDebbie Goff macists arrive on campus they study the “one health” approach, a comprehensive approach with a team from multiple departments, including a pharmacist as well as the individual roles of each team member.

After training, the visiting pharmacists return to South Africa with a “tool kit” that consists of a handbook and written material, and in turn they will train more people, Goff said. So far, 200 pharmacists have been trained under this style of “training the trainers” for a similar program focused on adult care.

she said in a July 2018 text to a redacted recipient. “He drinks a lot and I’m just not sure how stable he will be. Afraid he will do something dangerous. It’s obvious he has anger/rage issues already.”

In the days leading up to Smith’s dismissal, Meyer was still in communication about Smith regarding recruiting initiatives. “(Redacted) texted me about zach and the legal issue,” Meyer said in a text. “Asked if he was ok. Says he hasn’t heard from him in awhile. We need to keep recruiting (redacted) as if he is not committed. Need to stay on this!”

Meyer announced Smith’s firing to the staff three days later on July 23, 2018.

“Send to staff. All – I made a decision to release Zach from staff. Core value violation and cumulative issues. ‘Win the Moment’ – most important thing is team and players at this time,” Meyer said in a text to a redacted recipient. “Zero conversation about Zach’s past issues. We need to help him as he moved frwd. Team and players!! Thx. Will discuss plan when I return Wednesday.”

While students enjoyed their break, Ohio State released the Strauss report, implemented free laundry, partnered with Lyft, expanded Student Legal Services, was found noncompliant with public records requests and released Urban Myer’s text messages about Zach Smith.

SUMMARY FROM 1

California, the University of Texas at Austin and Johns Hopkins University, Kaitlyn Carl, communications manager for Lyft, said in an email.

Student Legal Services expands to include immigration services Student Legal Services began covering immigration issues Aug. 1.

After a year of preparation and an update to its contract with Ohio State, SLS now has staff attorney Andrew Peiffer acting as the immigration attorney on staff with no increase to the $40 SLS fee included in tuition and fees.

Peiffer said that SLS will adapt its services based on the cases that come in but anticipates certain common questions regarding immigration, such as employment rules for noncitizens, post-graduate jobs that require a change in citizenship status and marriage, which could result in citizenship.

Degree-seeking, Columbus-campus students who pay the SLS fee are able to meet with lawyers at SLS as much as needed, and the only additional charges students may incur are filing fees, Peiffer said.

Nearly 1,500 international students will arrive on campus this fall, according to the Office of International Affairs’ website, and Peiffer said he wants them to be able to focus on the reason they came to Ohio State: education.

Special Master made recommendations in favor of The Lantern in case for Ohio State records Ohio State was incompliant with Ohio public records law in response to a Lantern request due to improper redaction and the length of time the university took to provide the records, according to an Aug. 9 Edward Sutelan recommendation by a special master in the Ohio Court of Claims. The special master also found that issues involving timeliness and redaction were likely to repeat.

Former Lantern editor-in-chief Edward Sutelan submitted a public records request asking for any police reports involving Ohio State football players, and within the documents provided 18 weeks later in Feb-

ruary 2019, he received records including a report regarding a sexual assault at a campus dorm in September 2018.

The report redacted the name of the sexual assault suspect, and on Feb. 27 Sutelan filed a complaint stating that the university improperly denied the request for public records due to the redaction. Sutelan said he believes Ohio State’s police department should operate similarly to other law enforcement agencies.

“Ohio State, in my experience, has often got into a habit of providing redacted police reports and this was a relatively important

“Ohio State, in my experience, has often got into a habit of providing redacted police reports and this was a relatively important police report that redacted information that I think was worth the public knowing even if charges weren’t filed.”

fired by Ohio State after his ex-wife filed a civil protection order against him in July 2018.

Meyer’s concerns regarding Smith were conveyed in texts as early as December 2017 and continued into 2018.

“Keep an eye on zach,” Meyer said in a text to a redacted recipient in December 2017. “He is not here. Need to make [sure] his guys play well. I will say something as well.”

After Smith’s termination, Shelley Meyer, Urban Meyer’s wife, expressed additional concern regarding Smith’s behavior.

“I am worried about Zach’s response,”

Ohio State residence facilities now feature free laundry University-managed residences, including the residence halls, the Buckeye Village community center and Ohio State-managed Greek houses will all see the elimination of the $1.50 to wash and $1.25 to dry fees this fall, according to university spokesperson Dave Isaacs.

“Some other universities have moved toward this, and so we looked very closely at what they were doing and how they were doing it,” Isaacs said. “We decided that this was something that we could do, and certainly it would be helpful and convenient to students, so we made the decision to go forward.”

Text messages reveal Urban Meyer’s early concern regarding Zach Smith Ohio State released text messages from former head football coach Urban Meyer that displayed concerns he had regarding former wide receivers coach Zach Smith as part of an independent investigation.

Smith coached for Meyer at Florida and followed Meyer to Ohio State as an assistant coach in 2012. Accusations of Smith’s domestic abuse began in 2009, and he was

police report that redacted information that I think was worth the public knowing even if charges weren’t filed,” Sutelan said. “In my experience, that’s not a typical case with other police departments.”

The university is reviewing the special master’s decision, university spokesperson Chris Davey said in an email.

Ohio State provided an unredacted copy of the report May 14. The suspect, former Ohio State football player Brian Snead, did not face criminal charges but was dismissed from Ohio State in November 2018 after being found in violation of the student code of conduct.

and be able to do it. They must know what Buckeye Donuts are.”

Goff and professor emeritus in internal medicine in the division of infectious diseases Julie Mangino will travel to South Africa in September to oversee the implementation of the skills learned.

“When we travel back to South Africa, we will be meeting with both medical and pharmacy leadership to bolster support for the interventions by the four pharmacists who came to OSU over this summer,” Mangino said in an email.

They will work with the four visiting pharmacists and the mentors who previously trained in the United States in South Africa on a NICU stewardship tool kit, so that other NICUs in South Africa can benefit from the framework they put together.

PHARMACY FROM 3

program focused on infant care is the first of its kind, Goff said she has had documented success with this style of training for adult care.

In the first analysis of 47 hospitals, antibiotic use decreased 18 percent.

“It’s hard to work towards a goal if you’ve never actually seen someone succeed at it, so by coming here, they actually see a very successful program,” Goff said.

“Although they might not have all of our resources, they now know it actually is possible.”

Sanchez said that his motto — which the South African pharmacists picked up on — is that “we can all do better” in the way that antibiotics are used in medical care.

“We’re physicians. We want to improve the condition of these babies in the neonatal ICU that

are high risk for a number of conditions, but we also need to realize we all can do better and we can learn from past experience, and that’s what I’ve been trying to implement,” Sanchez said.

Despite the intensity of the two-week training session, Goff said the pharmacists are also introduced to the student perspective of campus, not only as a way to understand cultural differences

in health care, but also because they are closer in age to the students. In South Africa, students enter pharmacy school right after high school and receive a degree in four years.

“They must leave Ohio State and understand what a Buckeye is. They have to tell me what it is,” Goff said. “They have to know who Brutus is. They must know what O-H-I-O stands for

Dinner is different: The newest in campus dining NICHOLAS YOUNGBLOOD Arts&Life Editor youngblood.27@osu.edu University Dining Services is introducing new elements to campus eateries this year, including a new food truck and sustainability initiatives, to better reflect the needs of students.

In addition to new electronic ordering kiosks for made-to-order meals and a campus-wide rollout of bubble tea at cafes, Dining has parked a new food truck, Thyme & Change 2.0, next to the original Thyme & Change, a food truck outside Baker Systems Engineering on Neil Avenue that serves different lunch-time meals every day. The new truck will offer a rotating menu of plant-based foods, and is part of an enterprise to incorporate vegan- and vegetarian-friendly food across campus, Zia Ahmed, senior director of dining services, said.

“We try to be very intentional in terms of educating people about the diversity around food and also food lifestyles,” Ahmed said.

Sustainability is also a major focus of the changes. One of the most immediate differences students will notice is a discounted

price for all cafe beverages if students provide their own reusable container, Ahmed said.

Ahmed said this is one of the many changes that will make Ohio State’s dining more environmentally and ethically conscious.

The university has a goal of locally sourcing 40 percent of food by 2025.

“I think we, as the institution, have a larger goal and have a responsibility to educate our students about the food system,” Ahmed said. “We are definitely seeing an increasing demand from our students to be a more informed consumer of the food, and looking for and demanding transparency.”

Already, 100 percent of chicken on campus comes from within 50 miles of the university, Ahmed said, and the chicken feed is Ohio-grown.

Cory Stratton, operations manager at Morrill Traditions and Ohio State alumnus in environmental science, said he is proud of the advancements that the university has made on sustainability and local sourcing.

“I am always excited to see about our expansion in local and sustainable foods,” Stratton said.

“That’s where I am always look-

ing to expand where we can at our location. I think we are doing better with that every year, and I really look forward to seeing how much we can continue to expand there.”

“We are definitely seeing an increasing demand from our students to be a more informed consumer of the food, and looking for and demanding transparency” Zia Ahmed Senior director of dining services

Ahmed said student convenience also is a major factor in this year’s changes. In an effort to lower wait times for made-to-

order options at all-you-can-eat locations on campus, dining services is testing computerized ordering kiosks — like those found at Union Market — in Morrill Traditions. This way, students can order their food without waiting in line.

Stratton said he thinks the kiosks will help lighten the load for employees as well. In addition to added customization and convenience, he said the data from digital kiosk orders will help allyou-can-eat locations determine which food items are most popular and which ones should be replaced.

The kiosks use the Tapingo food ordering app, although that will soon change, Ahmed said.

Tapingo, which is used for online and kiosk ordering at all university dining locations, was recently acquired by Grubhub, and Ahmed said that the transition to Grubhub will be taking place in the next few months. In the meantime, Tapingo will still work, but students are encouraged to download Grubhub.

While there are many changes and long-term projects underway, University Dining also regularly introduces new dishes to its establishments, and this year is no

exception. Ahmed said he is most excited about the addition of Indian-fusion food, such as chicken tandoori wraps as well as Mirror Lake Eatery’s new plant-based chicken tenders.

Ahmed said almost all dining decisions, large and small, center on student feedback. The university regularly engages with customer satisfaction surveys, as well as focus groups, taste tests and feedback events with committees from Undergraduate Student Government and other student organizations. Dining staff is then consulted on the best way to roll out new offerings.

Stratton said being a part of this development process is why he enjoys working with dining.

“We are working with future leaders of the world that are here, and they’re getting an education, but we can also add into that to really be a representative for the food system and talk about the ways that we can continue to move forward and expand our food offerings,” Stratton said.

Someone is Looking for You! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” – and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don't be deceived by evolutionism.

All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10).

Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:7-10, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/ crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 – 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 – 6:2. “No one knows the day or the hour!” you cry? The Word says: 1Thessalonians 5:1-6. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified/ Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com). “It's all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21).

Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25).

New sculpture honors influential alumnus NICHOLAS YOUNGBLOOD Arts&Life Editor youngblood.27@osu.edu It’s hard to miss the new sculpture between Smith and McPherson Chemical laboratories, but its imposing, 31-foot figure isn’t its only significant aspect. The sculpture is “Modern Head,” a piece by influential artist and Ohio State alumnus Roy Lichtenstein.

“Modern Head” was commissioned by the Arts and Memorials Committee and donated by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation in honor of the late artist. The sculpture, installed over the summer, is the latest development in an ongoing relationship between the foundation and Ohio State, which includes two endowed professorships.

Lichenstein, most famous for his pop art paintings, such as “Drowning Girl,” was heavily influenced by his time at the university, Jack Cowart, executive director of RLF, said.

“All of Ohio was, for him, an interesting feed-bed,” Cowart said.

Lichtenstein attended Ohio State for a degree in fine arts in the mid-1940s, and later entered the graduate program for his master’s in fine arts and taught at the university. It was at the university

that he met his mentor, art professor Hoyt L. Sherman. Lichtenstein funded the Sherman Studio Art Center in his honor.

“He was doing his MFA and then teaching at the same time.

You could see him cycle through a number of interesting subject matter, which we do believe was part of dialogues with art faculty of things that interested them,” Cowart said.

“Modern Head,” first created in 1969, represents an important

point in Lichtenstein’s career, Cowart said. The sculpture came at a time when Lichtenstein was producing many art deco- and art moderne-inspired paintings, Cowart said, and the sculpture emulates that trend.

Since its initial fabrication, “Modern Head” has been reissued in a larger form for public display. Ohio State’s “Modern Head” joins renditions around the world.

“If it’s in Israel, if it’s in Yale, if it’s in Washington, if it’s in Nagano, it’s kind of an international

symbol which has become a logo for this work of the late 1960s, early ‘70s,” Cowart said.

The version erected on Ohio State’s campus is the only “Modern Head” to be fabricated after Lichtenstein’s death, according to the College of Arts and Sciences website.

The sculpture is not the first gift from RLF; according to the Arts and Sciences website, the foundation gave the university $6 million in 2017 for two endowed professorships. Currently the Roy Lichtenstein Chair of Studio Art is occupied by Carmen Winant.

The Roy Lichtenstein Chair of Art History was recently selected and will soon be announced, according to the website.

Gretchen Ritter, executive dean and vice provost for the College of Arts and Sciences, said she is thrilled about how this latest donation will inspire students.

“It’s particularly exciting to have this sculpture here because Roy Lichtenstein is part of the fabric of this campus,” Ritter said in a statement. “He was a student and a faculty member at Ohio State, and I hope that our students and our faculty seeing themselves as part of a tradition that produces something like ‘Modern Head’ will make them dream and see larger futures for themselves.”

WonderBus: Music with a message

ASHLEY KIMMEL | ASSISTANT ARTS&LIFE EDITOR

Dave and Elizabeth Grzelak, parents of David Grzelak, presented at the WonderBus Festival in Columbus, on Aug 16.

ASHLEY KIMMEL Assistant Arts&Life Editor kimmel.103@osu.edu Rick Milenthal, founder of Columbus-based digital marketing agency The Shipyard, had always wanted his company to follow the theme “communication can cure.” After The Shipyard’s Chief Strategy Officer Dave Grzelak’s 17-year-old son, David, died by suicide, Milenthal was determined to bring his company’s theme to life.

To bring awareness to mental health and remember David Gr-

zelak, the WonderBus Music Festival was created. A portion of the festival’s proceeds will be donated to a fund in Grzelak’s memory at the Wexner Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health.

The inaugural festival took place on the lawn of Chemical Abstracts Service on Saturday and Sunday and featured over 20 bands, including Walk the Moon, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, and the Los Angeles-based indie folk band Magic Giant.

Milenthal was introduced to the

idea of bringing a new music festival to the Columbus area when his longtime friend and 1981 alumnus, Cliff Chenfeld, contacted him. Chenfeld owns record label Razor & Tie and Kidz Bop and was asked by management and production company Elevation Group to partner in the creation of the music festival.

Chenfeld suggested using Milenthal’s company to help promote and build the festival in Columbus. Milenthal agreed, but only if the festival would promote mental health.

“We’re in the communication

Signs to encourage mental health awareness were put up around the WonderBus festival in Columbus.

business. We’re in the business of persuasion, and words matter in mental health,” Milenthal said.

“We think words can heal, so we thought we could play a part in this whole mental health issue.”

Milenthal said he hopes the festival will take place for many more years and continue to bring light to the subject of mental health.

“In that venue, we are going to change the conversation of mental health,” Milenthal said.

Zambricki Li, a member of Magic Giant, said he and his band members love performing at mu-

sic festivals, especially those with a cause like WonderBus. Li said the festival’s mental health theme is important to the band because its guitarist Brian Zaghi’s father struggled with mental illness.

The band’s song “Shake Me Up” has a strong message surrounding mental health and supporting those around you who may be experiencing mental health issues, Li said.

“It’s about showing up for other people and also having people around you who will show up for you,” Li said.

Clubhouse released their new single “Lucky Soul” on Aug. 15.

NICHOLAS YOUNGBLOOD Arts&Life Editor youngblood.27@osu.edu In winter 2018, Columbus band Clubhouse set out on its most ambitious project yet: self-producing a single. But one of the greatest challenges the band faced was its lead singer’s cancer diagnosis.

Clubhouse released “Lucky Soul” on Thursday, the group’s first single since lead singer Max Reichert was diagnosed with stage 2 osteosarcoma in his femur in August 2018. After chemotherapy, surgery and months of physical therapy, Reichert has been cancer-free since April and the band is back and more hopeful than ever.

“This whole last year has been just laying the groundwork for us rolling out and reintroducing ourselves to everyone. Not rebranding, per se, but kind of a different direction,” Reichert said.

The band first formed in 2015,

and now consists of lead singer and guitarist Reichert, pianist Michael Berthold, bassist Ben Saulnier, guitarist Ari Blumer, drummer Zak Blumer and new addition Forrest Weihe on keys and production.

Since being declared cancer-free, Reichert has been back on stage. The band played a few festivals over the summer, including WonderBus on Saturday.

Reichert said that the metal rod in his leg has limited his ability to move around on stage, but he is as excited as ever to perform.

“We bounced back really quick.

It felt so natural, so good to be back up there. I was a little nervous with my leg. Before the diagnosis I would just go crazy up on stage,” Reichert said. “But it’s just the best feeling to be back up there.”

Clubhouse’s new song was mostly produced during Reichert’s chemotherapy treatments, he said. Between his hospital

stays, the band members would come over to burn the midnight oil at songwriting sessions.

Zak Blumer said the recording process was done in a home studio the band put together in his apartment, and they finished recording around the time that Reichert finished his chemotherapy.

“The song was one of the easier songs that we’ve written and I think that that’s when you know you’ve got something special — when it comes together quickly,” Blumer said. “And it all happened in this difficult but wild time when Max would come over between chemotherapy sessions and write with us, and it was pretty incredible.”

Self-producing the song was important to the band, Blumer said, because it allowed them total control over their sound and the amount of time and dedication that went into recording.

Blumer said each member of the band contributed equally to the

writing and recording process.

“Lucky Soul” was produced during an emotional time for the band, Reichert said, and that certainly affected the themes of their music. Still, the band has always been about unwavering optimism.

“We are kinda going at it with this attitude of just positive energy and no expectations,” Reichert said. “We’re just kinda putting out music that we love, and we’re not gonna overthink it, and we’re just gonna enjoy it.”

Reichert credited his band members with helping him through his recovery, and said their support and dedication to songwriting was what kept him going. He said the regular writing and recording sessions gave him a sense of normalcy in an unstable time.

Despite the setbacks, Clubhouse has no intention of slowing down. The band has several more songs in various stages of production, and they have sever-

al more releases on the horizon.

Still, “Lucky Soul” holds a special place in Blumer’s heart due to the growth of the band members during its production.

“This song really means a lot to us in a lot of different ways.

We grew a lot during the timeframe of writing this song, and not just in production abilities or songwriting abilities, but also as people,” Blumer said. “Going through something like this was difficult and it really challenged all of us to support Max through all of it, to remain creative when things seemed bleak or distressing. So, it just feels like a really big accomplishment and a really big moment.”

“Lucky Soul” can be streamed on the band’s website: clubhouseband.com.

Young expected to lead Ohio State defense KHALID HASHI Sports Director hashi.20@osu.edu Junior defensive end Chase Young is entering his first full season as arguably the best player on Ohio State’s defense.

Young broke out in his sophomore season, leading Ohio State with 9.5 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss, but now the player projected to be a top five draft pick will be expected to lead Ohio State in more than just statistical categories.

“I see more seriousness now,” head coach Ryan Day said of Young’s changed mentality. “I think he knows this is his time to step up and be a leader.”

Since losing Nick Bosa and Dre’Mont Jones on the Buckeye defensive line to the 2019 NFL Draft, Young has earned the lion’s share of national attention among the Ohio State defense ahead of his third year.

Young was named All-Big Ten second team for his efforts this past season, but he has been named to both the Sporting News preseason All-America first team and the Bednarik Award preseason watch list — an honor given to the country’s best defensive player.

But it isn’t only Ohio State coaches and national media that think Young is due for an uptick in production and responsibilities this year.

He’s taking it upon himself.

“I’m just trying to lead the guys and be more vocal,” Young said.

“Lead by example because people follow by how you play.”

Despite his individual accolades, Young’s leadership was already on display in his willingness to talk about the talent of his teammates, and he believes some will become nationally recognized.

“This year we have a lot of sleepers that a lot of people haven’t heard about across the country,” Young said. “Tyreke Smith, he’s going to be a wicked guy coming off the edge. People don’t know about him. Tommy Togiai is another guy who is going to be big for us. Inside is where I really think we are really deep right now, especially at the nose tackle.”

Young’s been referenced by multiple teammates as the vocal leader of the team and the “sleepers” up front. He was voted one of seven Chase Young team captains Monday.

“Pregame, all that stuff, Chase has tried to take the lead on that. He’s our vocal guy on that,” senior safety Jordan Fuller said.

Defensive line coach Larry Johnson has coached four of the past five Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award winners and will look to Young to become the next.

Young said Johnson plans to give him more plays than in 2018.

After playing 82 snaps in the Rose Bowl against Washington, Young said he feels optimistic in how effective he can be with a larger role.

Although many think Young is a polished player, he believes he has a lot of room for improvement. When asked what he could do better, Young had more than a few aspects of his game in mind.

“Oh, everything,” Young said. “Playing the run, playing the pass, my hands, my hips, just the regular fundamentals of being a great D-end.”

The defense has a lot to prove entering the 2019 season after finishing No. 72 in the NCAA in total defense this past year. Given the slew of coaching changes on the defensive side of the ball, it seems the reset button has been pressed.

“We definitely don’t dwell on last season,” Young said.

With more stability and fewer headlines, Young said the players are entering this season with a renewed positive attitude.

“I’m just trying to lead the guys and be more vocal. Lead by example because people follow by how you play.”

BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT YEAR

“I saw it [in fall camp] with the DB’s, the linebackers, the D-line.

We were all fired up,” Young said. “I feel like the DB’s, their confidence is through the roof right now. We had a coaching change. So, we put last year in the past, in our head, we’re just facing forward and trying to move to getting to where we want to be.”

Ohio State has never had a Bednarik award winner, but this may be the year that Young brings one to Columbus.

C.J. Saunders: From walk-on to team captain GRIFFIN STROM Sports Editor strom.25@osu.edu

Ryan Day

The discussion around leadership on the Ohio State football team often involves the names of four- and five-star recruits, future NFL players and record-setting performers such as Chase Young, K.J. Hill and J.K. Dob-

bins.

While redshirt senior wide receiver C.J. Saunders shares neither the litany of onfield accomplishments nor the recruiting pedigree of his elite teammates, the former walk-on didn’t need them to be voted team captain Monday.

Saunders has just one touchdown and 294 receiving yards in his past three seasons with the Buckeyes, but his persistent attitude and leadership have earned him a position designated to only seven players on an 110-man roster.

“Nobody ever expected him to become the guy he is now,” senior safety and fellow captain Jordan Fuller said. “Guys just respect him so much because of his work ethic and just how he approaches the game.”

Saunders hails from Dublin, Ohio, where he was a successful multisport athlete, racking up all-conference and all-district honors in baseball, football and basketball.

However, Saunders was not recruited by the Buckeyes, or any Division I program for that matter.

Though he played receiver in high school, Saunders was able to walk onto the scout team as a cornerback in winter 2016.

His time in the defensive backs room is when Saunders developed a relationship with Fuller, who said he “smiled a little extra” when he saw that his former stablemate was voted captain.

Saunders said it wasn’t until he switched back to his natural position at wide receiver that he began to feel like he belonged on the team or had potential to play. His commitment paid off, as Saunders earned a scholarship in spring 2017, following a season in which he appeared in just one

tion for Saunders, who caught 17 passes for 221 yards on the year and hauled in a touchdown against UNLV. Day called the full-circle journey a “lifelong dream” of Saunders, though he said becoming a team captain was not his biggest goal.

“It wasn’t a surprise,” Saunders said. “I think the way that my career has progressed and how I’ve gotten to build relationships with my teammates — it’s something that I’ve strived for.”

This past season Saunders was given additional responsibilities in occasional punt and kick returns, which may be expanded

upon in the upcoming year. Saunders said he and first-year special teams coordinator Matt Barnes have been working on a role for him in the offseason.

Having served in all three facets of the game for the Buckeyes, it comes as little surprise that even teammates on the defensive side of the ball admire the exemplary conduct that Saunders exhibits.

Fuller called Young the most vocal leader on the team, but Young spoke of Saunders when asked about leadership on the Buckeyes.

“A guy who really shows up and does it right every day all the time — never slips up — is C.J.,” Young said.

Junior linebacker Tuf Borland and senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper round out the seven Ohio State captains, which means Saunders is not just the only walkon with captain status, but he is also the only non-starter.

But Saunders said as long as he “sticks to the fight,” the results will be seen in the end.

“Just coming in every day and going to work, just putting your head down, that’s what it was,” he said. “Day after day, brick after brick, just going to work and you see it start to pay off in times like this.”

Fields will lead Ohio State offense into 2019 ANDY ANDERS Assistant Sports Editor anders.83@osu.edu Fans, students and reporters have waited months to hear what many assumed to be the case when Justin Fields transferred to Ohio State.

Head coach Ryan Day kept them waiting an hour longer.

At 12:17 p.m. — at a press conference originally scheduled for 11:15 a.m. — Day announced that the sophomore quarterback will start for the Buckeyes against Florida Atlantic Aug. 31.

“All guys had good camps, but Justin kind of separated himself last week. He’ll be the starter,” Day said. “I met with [the quarterbacks] and told them all that really means is Justin will be taking the first snap on Saturday.”

Now all the stories and discussions surrounding the Georgia transfer can pivot to focus solely on what he brings to the offense, as his knowledge of it continues to grow.

“I feel way more comfortable than in the spring,” Fields said.

“When you get a hang of the playbook, you can play faster and the game slows down, and instead of reacting you anticipate what’s gonna happen.”

What stands out in comparison to Ohio State’s 2018 attack is Fields’ ability to run the football.

In 12 appearances serving as backup to Jake Fromm, Fields made 42 rushing attempts with just 39 passing attempts. He accumulated 266 yards on the ground.

Combined, Ohio State quarterbacks ran for 228 yards on 101

carries in 2018, four yards less per attempt than Fields, despite his limited play time. The Buckeyes will incorporate those abilities into 2018’s scheme.

“When you get a hang of the playbook, you can play faster and the game slows down, and instead of reacting you anticipate what’s gonna happen.”

Justin Fields Ohio State quarterback

“I mean, it’s going to be very, very similar. His skill set, he has a lot of different things that Dwayne [Haskins] had,” Day said. “He’s a little bit more athletic and faster and stronger. He can run.”

There’s a scale easily tipped when involving an athletic quarterback in any offense. Designed quarterback runs provide a unique look to defenses, and the ability to scramble and extend plays is good for a passing attack. The latter perk excites redshirt senior receiver C.J. Saunders.

“As receivers in the back half of routes, when he might get flushed out, he can make something happen with his feet,” Saunders said.

However, as Day pointed out, running quarterbacks are prone to injury when they take too many hits. A run-first mentality can also cause a gunslinger to scramble too early, creating the poten-

tial to miss open receivers.

Running smart wasn’t his focus at Georgia, Fields said. His goals on a play-by-play basis shifted because of his backup role, and as the season progresses, he’ll be learning when and how to run as a quarterback.

“Last year I was trying to make a play on every play,” Fields said.

“Definitely have to be smarter this year.”

There are bound to be growing pains in his first season starting as a collegiate quarterback. By keeping his focus on the offense and feedback from coaches, Fields

hopes to find success despite any issues.

“Coach Day talked about, in one of the team meetings, how the team shouldn’t look at the outside voices, because we’re the ones on the field actually playing,” Fields said.

His teammates are confident he’ll grow into the role with ease.

He’s already been through plenty of growth from his transfer to spring football to the quarterback battle to 12:17 p.m. on Aug. 19.

“There’s been a big difference in him [from his arrival],” redshirt senior receiver K.J. Hill

said. “He’s comfortable, feel like he felt like he was quarterback one and he acted like it. We fed off his energy.”
