The push for kush Next week could herald the beginning of legal marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use in Ohio. Voters will decide on the Ohio Marijuana Legalization Initiative during Tuesday’s general election.

The initiative, denoted as Issue 3 on the Ohio ballot, would put in place an amendment to the Ohio constitution, directly changing state law to allow for the legal production, sale, possession and use of marijuana.

“Legalization, I’ve come to understand, touches so many facets of our lives,” said Cassie Young, a graduate student studying social work and public affairs and president of Students for Sensible Drug Policy at Ohio State. “The fact that (illicit substances) are illegal today harms all of us. It criminalizes behavior that should not be criminalized.”

Costumes raise issues of objectification JENNA LEINASARS For The Lantern leinasars.2@osu.edu Ohio State women have a variety of costumes to choose from this Halloween: sexy skeleton, sexy cop, sexy leopard and even a sexy angel.

But some members of the OSU community feel the public should be aware that these costumes may open the door for the objectification of women because of existing social pressures to wear them this Halloween.

Guisela Latorre, an associate

professor of women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said she feels that when women choose their costumes, there is a gray area about what those choices signify.

“A lot of women are conscious of the popularity of the ‘sexy’ Halloween costume, the ‘sexy nurse,’ the ‘sexy maid,’” she said, “I think that that in itself is sort of like a patriarchal pressure on women to perform a particular over-sexualized self.”

J. Brendan Shaw, a doctoral candidate in English, said that there are risks to choosing such costumes.

“Consent doesn’t evaporate because it’s Halloween or because we’re wearing a costume.

We’re always wearing a costume, it’s just during Halloween, it’s more obvious.”

J. Brendan Shaw Doctoral candidate in English

“There’s pressure for certain ideas of Halloween and for costumes being ‘sexy,’” Shaw said.

“But I think related to that is also the idea that there’s risk involved with choosing those costumes or the ‘asking for it’ narrative comes out of that.”

Latorre said with this social construct in play, consequences are inevitable for both women and men.

“I think that if you add the element of alcohol, with the partying thing, it can make women vulnerable to everything from outright rape to just objectification, disre-

spect (and) degradation,” she said.

Men are also becoming socialized through this concept to think that women are objects, Latorre said.

Shaw said the pressure for both sexes in terms of costumes is not equal, but agreed that consequences exist for women and men alike.

“It also suggests that (men) don’t have any agency, that if something were to happen to the woman and (men) were responsible, then it wouldn’t be (the man’s) fault,” Shaw said. “The costume made them do it, which is a silly COSTUMES CONTINUES ON 2

THIS WEEK IN WELLNESS

@THELANTERN

How to have a healthy Halloween DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145@osu.edu

Halloween is only days away and many students have already picked out a costume. Even if playing dress-up isn’t part of this year’s Halloween plan, grocery trips might lead to the desire to consume some of the brightly wrapped candies lining the aisles. This week, Janele Bayless, wellness coordinator at the Student Wellness Center, shares her knowledge on candy consumption and costume safety.

Q: There’s candy everywhere this time of year, and it can be pretty tempting to eat a lot. How much is too much? How much candy is it safe to eat in one sitting?

A: Research shows people typically eat more food with larger portions, according to the Centers for Disease Control in 2006. To prevent yourself from overindulging in Halloween treats, check to see if you’re hungry first! If so, have a small meal or snack first to curb your appetite and lower your chances of overeating. Aim to include a protein or dairy source with a grain, fruit or vegetable. Ex-

amples include apple slices with peanut butter, hummus with vegetables and yogurt with granola.

Other ways to set yourself up for success are to limit how much Halloween candy you keep at home or have in a day. Try limiting yourself to one bag of candy every one to two weeks or allowing yourself to have 250-500 calories of a treat per day. Most types of Halloween candy are available year round, so Halloween doesn’t have to be the only time you allow yourself a treat.

Q: Do you have any tips for staying safe at Halloween parties?

A: First and foremost, create a plan before going out. When it comes to transportation, always have a sober friend or family member who you can call to give you a ride. As always, our primary focus should be on our health and safety when we go out to party. There are many ways to “party smart.” If you decide to go out, I think first and foremost you should stay with your close friends from the beginning of the night, all the way until you get home. Look out for your friends, and never leave them alone or let them wander off.

Being an active bystander is so important when it comes to staying safe while drinking. Additionally, there are many ways that you can reduce the risks associated with heavy drinking. Set limits and pace yourself, alternate between alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, eat before and while you are drinking, avoid drinking games … the list goes on.

Q: The weather forecast puts COSTUMES FROM 1

Opponents of ResponsibleOhio

argue that this limits the potential level of public engagement in the industry of producing wholesale marijuana and fails to adequately ensure competition.

Nicholas Neely, a fourth-year in business sustainability and president of the Cannabis Coalition at OSU, said, “The reason people will vote against Issue 3 is the monopoly structure of the policy.”

The Legalize Ohio 2016 campaign argues that it’s well worth the wait to amend the state constitution in a much different way.

“Whether it’s Legalize Ohio 2016 or another group, legalization is going to be on the ballot again,” said Jacob Wagner, vice

Erika McCort, a second-year in pre-athletic training, however, has chosen to dress as one of the Three Blind Mice for Halloween this year.

“Now, I think the costumes expose women more. That’s what people expect women to wear,” McCort said.

Men would give women looks that made them feel uncomfortable McCort said, and dressing provocatively has a negative and unsafe connotation associated with it.

Latorre, however, suggested that the problem might not lie with the costumes, but with our perceptions of women as a society.

“A lot of the times we turn (the responsibility) to women,” Latorre said. “I would turn that question to men and say, ‘You need to respect women, you need to question your perceptions of women and any kind of sense of entitlement that you may think you have towards women’s bodies.’”

In addition, Latorre said she feels that a woman’s safety should never be compromised based on her attire.

“Just because a woman is in a public space and is exploring her sexuality doesn’t mean that she becomes the property or the object of assault or the object of harassment by others,” she said.

Whether you support Legalize 2016 or not, you can wait for something better.”

For Young, the Legalize Ohio campaign is the clear choice, citing perceived problems with the ResponsibleOhio initiative.

“Personally I am 100 percent opposed to Issue 3,” Young said.

“I’m training to be a social worker, and I’m also in school for public affairs and from both of those angles, especially those of economic

mindset to break down this social pressure by questioning our motives for judging others and then allowing others to have their free space for self-expression.

The campus will see a variety of costumes this Halloween season, but Shaw says one rule always applies.

and social justice, I don’t see it being good for Ohio. Not only in the context of the cannabis market, but also in the context of the concentration of wealth and influence of money on politics.”

Still, proponents of the 2015 measure argue that passing a legalization amendment now is worth it for the benefit of those who need it most, even if progress is incremental in nature.

McGovern said he wasn’t even keeping future policies on his mind.

“We’re really focused on this, this year,” McGovern said on Monday. “This is the first time (legalization) has ever been on the ballot, so we’re really just focused on the next eight days. We’ve just seen so much excitement, especially on college campuses, to push it through this year instead of trying to wait.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Privatization isn’t always the answer

MUYAO SHEN | ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR

Vistors leave Tuttle Park Place Garage, located at 2050 Tuttle Park Place, on Oct. 28.

Many Lantern readers might not know — and older ones might only vaguely recall — that in 2012, Ohio State privatized Columbus campus parking operations via a 50-year lease to QIC/CampusParc. At the time, I was a faculty representative in the University Senate and one of many faculty members who vehemently opposed privatization. There were several reasons for opposition, not the least of which was that our analysis showed it would be a bad financial deal for OSU. Fortunately, the University Senate unanimously approved a resolution in early 2013 asking the OSU administration to present an annual parking privatization accountability and transparency report to the campus community so everyone can see how the deal actually plays out.

There is a big problem with the A&T reports so far, however. The financial analysis has been notable not for its transparency, but rather for inappropriately treating the up-front lease payment OSU received in 2012 as if it were a $483 million gift to the OSU endowment fund. No mention has been made of the opportunity cost to OSU of having privatized parking operations: OSU used to accrue millions in net annual earnings from parking that are now going to QIC/CampusParc. The A&T reports have completely ignored this fact even though the terms of the lease require QIC/CampusParc to provide its financial

statements to OSU. So, last year I worked with someone in the OSU Business and Finance Office who graciously provided me with one critical earnings number from the QIC/CampusParc financials. The A&T report said that in fiscal year 2014 OSU distributed $22.7 million from parking privatization funds to various good causes around campus (such as student scholarships). My analysis showed that when opportunity costs are included, this was about $3.1 million less than would have been available to these causes if OSU had not privatized parking.

When I recently asked OSU B&F for the critical QIC/CampusParc earnings figure for fiscal year 2015 so I could prepare a similar comparison with this year’s A&T report, I was stymied. I therefore made a public-records request. Six weeks later, I finally got a reply: “The information that you requested is considered (a) trade secret of QIC/CampusParc, and thus exempt from disclosure under the Ohio Public Records Act.” In other words, we the public will never know — indeed, according to the administration we have no right to know — whether parking privatization was a good financial deal for OSU. We face 47 more years of not knowing.

The good news is that one can estimate the figure OSU refuses to provide. I’ve done that and will continue to do so and let

you know what I find via annual letters to the editor of The Lantern.

I predict the official A&T report this year will say that just over $22 million was distributed to good causes around campus.

My analysis shows that when opportunity costs are included, this is about $6.3 million less than would have been available to these causes if OSU had not privatized parking.

As OSU prepares to privatize operation of more OSU physical facilities, please keep this experience in mind. Not only will you not see from the administration a substantive analysis of the actual financial implications of privatization before it happens, you will never see an honest accounting of the actual financial outcome that was realized (unless, of course, it is truly positive).

But you are sure to be deluged with vague, incomplete and glowing reports about how clever the administration was to have made the deal. History shows that faculty members are basically powerless to make a difference in this regard. Unless there is some sort of student uproar over continual obfuscation of the truth, I cannot imagine why the administration would change its ways.

Wexner Center shows behind the lens MEGAN SONDERMAN For The Lantern sonderman.22@osu.edu The Wexner Center for the Arts aims to take visitors behind the scenes of films with an upcoming four-day event.

Picture Lock: 25 Years of Film/ Video Residencies, taking place from Thursday to Nov. 1, brings in filmmakers and visual artists who will be presenting films, speaking and demonstrating the process behind their creations.

“It gets right to the heart of the mission of the Wexner Center,” said Jennifer Lange, the Film/Video Studio Program Curator. “When this place (film/video studio) first opened, it was about being a laboratory and the focus being as much on creating art as it is presenting art.”

Lange added that the events won’t be traditional.

“Each program will be really different and spontaneous. No other will have the same structure,” she said.

Filmmakers have been paired up and they will work together to present a wide range of films and videos that they have chosen from the Wex’s archive.

“If anyone is interested in art or film, having 13 important filmmak-

ers and visual artists at one time and in conversation with each other is sort of a rare opportunity,” Lange said.

Jennifer Reeder, an Ohio State alumni who is now teaching at the University of Illinois, will be one of the filmmakers at the event.

“It will be an extraordinary thing, since you get to see filmmakers from all over,” Reeder said. “I’m excited to see all of my friends again.”

The Film/Video Studio Program has been a part of the Wexner since it opened in 1989 and has helped hundreds of filmmakers from around the world, Lange said.

“It was a small enough program that allowed us to follow our own vision and be creative with our projects,” Reeder said.

Lange said the post-production studio is unique because filmmakers are provided with one of two editors, Mike Olenick and Paul Hill, who are well-versed in the technology used in the studio. Olenick and Hill can assist the artists so they do not have to focus on anything but their art, she said.

“They can give you advice; they have such a tremendous amount of experience and creativity to offer,” Lange said.

In addition to the films, people who attend will receive another

Introverted club on campus offers shy students a quiet haven REGINA FOX Lantern reporter fox.1001@osu.edu The tendency to separate one’s self from the presence of others and enjoy it might seem weird to some, but it’s comfortable to people known as introverts.

Alexandra Grese, a fourth-year English major, has an introverted personality type, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and wanted to provide similar students a chance to congregate without the pressure of a traditional meeting setting.

Introverts of OSU is a community designed to give students of a more timid nature a chance to indirectly socialize with peers.

“It’s an organization where introverted people can be alone together, the same way people in a cafe or library are all in one place doing their own thing,” Grese said.

Two months ago, Grese made a Facebook page to create a following. As of Wednesday afternoon, 29 people have “liked” the Introverts of OSU page.

“Every few weeks or so, I’ve

been posting advertisements on the Facebook page letting people know that if they’d like to do individual activities alone in a group, I’ll be at this location at this time,” Grese said. “So far, in typical introvert style, no one has shown up, but with the Facebook following growing, I intend to keep trying.”

Grese’s most recent post on the page reads, “The first rule of introvert club is you do not have to talk at introvert club.”

“So far, in typical introvert style, no one has shown up.”

Alexandra Grese Founder, Introverts of OSU

Five individuals active on the Facebook page were contacted for comments, but no replies were received.

Ally Himes, coordinator of Student Involvement, encourages students to get involved in an organization during their college careers.

“No matter the specific focus,

students report their involvement helps build skills like time management and leadership, and offers a unique social opportunity to create close relationships,” Himes said.

Himes said she believes that both direct and indirect socialization can help a student grow, but encourages students to step outside their comfort zones.

“Don’t be afraid to lean into discomfort,” Himes said. “Not all situations will be appealing, but leaning into discomfort can help us grow and learn to adapt to new types of situations.”

OSU offers more than 1,200 student organizations that cater to the diversity of the students. At the moment, Introverts of OSU is not an official student organization.

“Whether someone is more introverted or extroverted, it is beneficial for all individuals to be in situations that build upon both strengths and weaknesses so that we can continue to develop as humans,” Himes said.

Behind Pixar Conversations with Bryn Imagire of “The Good Dinosaur” WYATT CROSHER Lantern reporter crosher.1@osu.edu For many, going to the movies after class or work allows them to escape into another world away from the stress of everyday life.

But for Bryn Imagire, the shading art director for Disney Pixar, working on movies is just another day on the job.

Imagire, who worked on movies such as “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2” and “Up,” visited Ohio State’s campus on Tuesday to talk about her work. She has finished working on the upcoming Pixar film, “The Good Dinosaur,” and continues to work on the upcoming sequel to “The Incredibles.”

As a shading art director, Imagire designs the colors and textures of the characters, the sets and the assets around the scenes. Imagire gets to work firsthand with the directors such as Brad Bird (“The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille”), John Lasseter (“Toy Story 2,” “Cars 2”), Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters Inc.”) and Pete Sohn, the director of “The Good Dinosaur.” Imagire works with these directors to get exactly what they are envisioning put on the screen. She said her favorite project to date is “The Incredibles.” The concepts, superheroes and working with Bird made it her favorite thus far — even though she said she has loved every project.

Imagire got into Pixar from her work with The Nature Company, which brings live animal workshops into classroom settings, in the ‘90s. She was creating images of insects and found out about the upcoming Pixar film, “A Bug’s Life.” She did not get the job right away, however, as it took three months of persistence to even get an interview, but eventually, she got the job, and has worked at Pixar for 18 years.

faculty directors in the School of Music — will be in costume for the show, and audience members are encouraged to dress up as well.

Jayne Allison, web design editor and publicity assistant for the School of Music, is excited to see the new performances.

“It’s a fun show where the student ensembles play and sing classical pieces or humorous adaptations of current songs,” Allison said. “Students, with their faculty directors, will all dress up in costume and can be every bit of silly as they please. They play and sing pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz and TV and movie themes too, along with the classics. They try to cover as many genres from across the spectrum as they can.”

Aside from the classics, there will be new and alternative songs as well, written by the students and faculty who will be performing them for the first time.

“They take the classic songs, adapt and rewrite them for their particular instrument or ensemble,” Allison said. “At least 10 student arrangers will be performing, as well as some faculty arrangers. It’s really cool to see their work come to life on stage.”

Those who have attended in the past can expect some new surprises. Unable to comment on the specifics, Allison promises they are surprises that the audience won’t want to miss.

“It could be some craziness and silly acts on stage, special songs, well-known performers, among other things. You’ll have to attend to find out what, exactly,” she said.

“Even I don’t know everything they plan to do.”

The HalleBOOia! concert will be held in the Weigel Hall Auditorium at 8 p.m. this Friday.

a dinosaur named Arlo who is swept away from home and befriends a boy named Spot. “(The film) is a ‘boy and his dog story,’ and is really about family, friendship and Arlo’s character arc,” Imagire said. “The boy and his dog story” is not the typical one, though, since the “boy” is a dinosaur and the “dog” is a boy.

During her talk held in Sullivant Hall, Imagire showed five clips from the upcoming film, and one thing that was very clear was the vast landscapes with mountainous backgrounds.

Arlo is a green Apatosaurus, and his design was done with purpose. Imagire said the cartoon-like aspects are the caricature of him, while the knobby knees and the big feet are used to appeal to younger audiences.

The Apatosaurus was chosen so that the focus was not on T-Rexes.

Imagire said that Pixar always talks about the what-ifs. What if toys could talk? What if there were monsters in the closet? What if there were superheroes? What if there were little figures in your head making the decisions? This movie asks, “What if a meteor never hit Earth?”

Imagire is excited for the audience to see the grand scale of the film, as well as feel its emotion.

CONCERT FROM 4

keting, one of the purposes of the group is to give bands feedback on their performances and help them grow and improve. That is why it was important to put on some live shows this semester.

“We wanted to get more opportunities for MCo artists to play in front of other people. It’s important to learn the skill of performance, to get used to being on stage,” said D’Alessio.

Three of the four bands on the bill came together through the members’ involvement in Musician’s Collective. Discount Tents will cover The Cure, The Busy Nothings will cover Sufjan Stevens and The Sports will cover Modest Mouse. These are the people who are currently involved in or alumni of the group.

tarist for the three-piece “bedroom pop” band, The Sports, said that choosing to cover Modest Mouse was a relatively easy choice.

“Between us, we like a lot of really good bands, but not a lot of them are as well-known as Modest Mouse, so we thought we’d do something we really love and that people would be able to recognize,” Costigan said.

Costigan said that the band’s set will be composed of half Modest Mouse covers and half original songs.

The band hopes to channel the Modest Mouse spirit.

“We’ve been really working on getting the energy up and I think there will be a lot of older Modest Mouse-reminiscent screaming,” he said.

In addition to the MCo-affiliated bands, MEISA members invited “People know the They’re Coming They’re Coming, artists that they are who chose to cover Kanye West, to covering … if you be a part of the show.

“We had them out for one of our listened to the radio in shows last year and we really liked the past 10 years, you them, so we’re having them back probably know one or for this one,” Avdey said.

Though the band’s sound leans two tracks.” more toward rock ‘n’ roll, lead Mike D’Alessio singer of They’re Coming They’re Vice president, Musician’s Collective Coming, James Anderson, said he and his band are hip-hop fans.

The Busy Nothings perform at Kafe Kerouac during a previous MCo show.

“Our philosophy is that we don’t care what anybody else thinks.

We’re going to do it our way or we’re not going to do it at all, and that’s the same kind of thing that I feel like Kanye West is. He won’t shut up. He’s always doing things that are outrageous, but he doesn’t give a s--- what anybody else thinks,” Anderson said.

Anderson said to prepare themselves for the show, they’ve been listening to a lot of West and they plan to dress like him as well.

Like the artists performing, at-

tendees are encouraged to wear costumes. There will be Chipotle gift cards as prizes for the scariest, funniest and overall best costume.

Kafe Kerouac will also be offering a drink special for the event: $4 for hot cider with spiced rum.

D’Alessio insists that anyone can go to the event and hear some familiar songs.

“People know the artists that they are covering … if you listened to the radio in the past 10 years, you probably know one or two tracks,” he said.

Besides giving experience to student bands and just having a good time, D’Alessio said they want to show off the venue, Kafe Kerouac.

“It’s a really interesting place, between a coffee shop and a book store and also a bar. It’s really eccentric and interesting. Besides having the performance, we thought it’d be cool to show people this venue as well. It’s not your typical venue for a show,” D’Alessio said.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. The event is 18+ and the entry fee is $5.

MEN’S HOCKEY

OSU looks for first win against Mercyhurst MILES MCQUINN Lantern reporter mcquinn.7@osu.edu When Mercyhurst (5-3) rings the Schottenstein Center’s doorbell prior to Friday’s matchup with Ohio State (0-6), there won’t be any treats exchanged — just a bevy of tricks thrown at each other.

Given the Lakers’ roster — comprised of 11 freshmen, 11 sophomores, four juniors and three seniors — one might think that they would be going through the same growing pains that OSU is going through.

Strength of schedules and comparisons aside, Mercyhurst proved that it is not to be taken lightly with its trip to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan two weekends ago.

The Lakers went toe-to-toe with the now No. 10-ranked Wolverines for three periods in both games.

Michigan still won both contests by 6-4 and 3-2 final scores, but the positive showing by Mercyhurst can be seen as a feather in its cap.

For OSU coach Steve Rohlik, none of that matters. The coach said his team always treats its opponent like it’s the best team in the nation.

“They’re very well coached,” Rohlik said. “We played them last year. We were fortunate to get one out of the two. There are no breaks.

This is about us trying to get better, we’ve got to continue to make steps.”

Puck drop between the Buckeyes and the Lakers is set for 7 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Keeping it tight Despite the rough start to the season, OSU has kept it close in every game so far. Five of its six losses have come within two goals.

“We need to not start playing our game when we’re down two or three goals,” senior captain Anthony Greco said. “We need to start playing right from the get-go and get all over teams and have those first two or three punches right away.”

The offense will be a point of emphasis this weekend, as the Buckeyes are averaging just under two goals per game thus far, which places them in 45th place nationally.

OSU has shown improvement in the goal department, however. In its last game on Oct. 24, the Scarlet and Gray put up a season-high four goals against Providence.

“You need to score goals to win games,” Greco said. “That’s something that we’ve got to build on, producing offense but not overlooking the defensive side of things.”

Protect this house The next four games for OSU will be key to getting things back on track. Following their two-game set with Mercyhurst this weekend, the Buckeyes will have a bye week before taking on Canisius at home on Nov. 13 and 14.

KALEY RENTZ | ASSISTANT SPORTS DIRECTOR

After that, the Scarlet and Gray will not have another contest in Columbus until Jan. 15 against Michigan.

“Any time we get to stay here and play here, you’ve got to take advantage of it,” Rohlik said.

That slate of road games features matchups against No. 2 Nebraska-Omaha, the Big Ten Conference opener against No. 20 Min-

nesota and a trip to Florida to face No. 4 Boston College and either Cornell or No. 3 Providence again in the Florida College Classic.

Halloween treats OSU is 3-6-2 all-time on Halloween.

OSU’s first Halloween contest came in 1980, a 6-3 loss at home against Wilfrid Laurier University.

The Buckeyes played Canisius

to a 3-3 draw last year on Halloween.

A 4-2 win over Alaska Fairbanks at home in 2003 is the most recent Halloween victory for OSU.

benefit as a result and declared the prospect ineligible until she repaid the bill.

The other report involving the women’s basketball team involved former OSU guard Amy Scullion, who graduated at the end of the 2013-14 season with one year of eligibility remaining but chose to forgo it to attend medical school.

Scullion received a $5,000 postgraduate scholarship from OSU toward graduate school and also received $150 for an autograph signing at a sports memorabilia store.

After the team was hit by a rash of injuries before the season, Scullion returned as a graduate student for her redshirt senior season. She was made ineligible because of the benefits, but because of her claim that she would not have taken them if she had originally intended to return for a fifth season, she was allowed to play after repaying the $150 received for the autographs and serving a three-game suspension.

In a violation involving women’s volleyball coach Geoff Carlston, a phone call was made to a 2017 recruit from the hands-free calling feature in his car. Carlston had intended to call an incoming 2015 athlete who shared a name with the 2017 recruit.

Carlston spoke with the father of the pre-contactable 2017 athlete for several minutes, before realizing that it was the wrong player.

The Compliance Office ruled that the team would be unable to con-

tact the 2017 prospect until Sept.

15, two weeks after the first permissible date.

Only one of the 29 violations were deemed to require additional action from the NCAA after the Compliance Office’s original declarations.

In it, the men’s hockey team held a camp for prospects during a dead period on April 16. The Compliance Office ruled that the coaches use a contact for each prospect attending the camp, which counted as one of their seven permissible recruiting opportunities per prospect.

However, the NCAA took further action, requiring OSU to reduce its number of permissible contacts by one as a result of the violation.

Apart from the celebrity softball game and AdvoCare post, the other four violations involving the football team related to an ineligible player traveling to the Sugar Bowl, an incident involving coach Urban Meyer and an assistant coach inadvertently calling the same prospect in the span of less than a week, OSU special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs taking a photo with high school football coaches he is friends with and an OSU player tweeting about a 2016 prospect.

A full list of the 29 self-reported violations can be viewed on The Lantern’s website.

VIOLATIONS FROM 8

WRESTLING FROM 8

The incoming freshman class should assist the team, as well.

“We’ve got some really good freshmen coming in,” Jordan said.

“A lot of guys that think right and train really hard and have the right mindset.”

Freshman Kollin Moore, along with Myles Martin, have made early impressions. Former high school standouts, Moore went 51-0 in his senior year at Norwayne High School in Creston, Ohio, and Martin — a New Jersey native and FloWrestling’s No. 3 recruit — is expected to contribute early at 174 pounds behind Jordan.

Satisfied with the young guys at the back end of the lineup, Ryan — who has coached four different student-athletes to eight national championships — refuses to settle.

In fact, he’s raising expectations for the young Buckeyes.

“Winning it one year is fantastic, but we’re here to stay,” Ryan said.

“We want prolonged, sustained success, and I’m really confident that 10 years from now, people in

the wrestling world and community will say, ‘Ohio State is a place where wrestling is alive and well.’”

Repeating is OSU’s goal, but Ryan admits the loss of Snyder is a hurdle. Nevertheless, he thinks the team can vault it.

“The goal is to win another championship. That hasn’t changed,” Ryan said. “It’s definitely more challenging without (Snyder), but what a story it will be, should it happen come March.”

Confident and convinced, the Buckeyes — despite being without two All-Americans — are ready to defend their title.

“We’re not going to have Logan and Snyder, but we’re still going to be good, and I know we can win a national title if everything happens right,” Jordan said.

As Stieber and Snyder continue to train in Columbus for their personal careers, their presence will still be felt. On the mat, however, life without both has just begun.

NCAA on April 11.

Of the 29 violations reported to the NCAA, six involved the football team, the most of any of OSU’s 36 varsity teams.

Just one involved the men’s basketball team, a case in which a player received money for expenses and competed in two exhibition games on OSU’s preseason trip to the Bahamas in August 2014.

The player had not yet received academic certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center due to complications from receiving his high school transcript, as he had attended two schools.

He was certified on Oct. 3, 2014, but his 45-day temporary certification period had already been triggered by participating in extra practices allowed by the foreign tour. As a result, he had participated in five practices after the 45-day period expired and received financial aid prior to the certification.

As a result, the player was withheld from six practices, and OSU had to pay $500 for each exhibition game he participated in.

The women’s basketball team reported two violations, including one in which a recruit visited with her mother and stepfather.

The mother and stepfather attended only one of the three meals planned by the institution, instead accumulating a bill of $252.16 from room service and the hotel’s restaurant, exceeding the limit of $50 per meal.

OSU determined the prospect had received an impermissible

MEN’S HOCKEY OSU men’s hockey is set to play Mercyhurst on Halloween weekend, after an 0-6 start to its season. ON PAGE 7

OSU self-reports 29 NCAA violations 17 of 36 varsity sports report violations between February and September RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu An appearance at a celebrity softball game, a Bluetooth mishap and a room-service bill were among 29 self-reported violations the Ohio State Department of Athletics filed to the NCAA from Feb. 1 to Sept. 10.

This information was obtained through a public-records request submitted by The Lantern on Sept. 11 and received on Oct. 16.

In one case, an OSU football player was told that he was neither permitted to participate in nor attend the Joe Haden Celebrity Charity Softball game in Cleveland on June 6. However, on the morning of the event he called his position coach and was told he could attend the event but not participate.

Because the school had not provided written approval to attend, a violation had occurred. An OSU spokesman could not confirm the identity of the player, but redshirt junior quarterback Cardale Jones was documented to have attended the game.

In response to the violation, a letter of education was provided to all football coaches and staff emphasizing the rules regarding promotional activities, as well as reviewed with football student-athletes.

In another violation involving a member of the football team, redshirt senior quarterback-turned-H-back Braxton Miller posted a picture to his Instagram account on March 24 that showcased the nutritional supplement AdvoCare. The OSU Compliance Office became aware of the violation and told Miller to delete the post. Miller was declared immediately ineligible but was reinstated by the DENNY CHECK | MANAGING EDITOR OF DESIGN

MEN’S WRESTLING

Despite losing two stars, Buckeyes maintain high expectations ALYCEA SMITH Lantern reporter smith.9829@osu.edu For the first time in four seasons, as the Ohio State wrestling team prepares to defend its title — the first national championship in program history — it will proceed without Logan Stieber.

Life without the most decorated wrestler in OSU history has begun.

Masterfully, Stieber was a force.

Ending his career 119-3, winning his last 50 matches, he — along with coach Tom Ryan — took the wrestling program to unprecedented heights.

The Buckeyes are now discovering why repeating as national champions in college athletics is so hard.

OSU not only has to make up for the absence of Stieber’s scoring, but Kyle Snyder’s as well, as the second-year Buckeye plans to red-

shirt the upcoming season to train for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

“It will be weird,” Snyder said.

“It will be hard for me to come to practice and watch, and not be able to compete because I’m going to want to practice so bad. (There)

“I know we can win a national title if everything happens right.”

Bo Jordan Redshirt sophomore wrestler

will definitely be a bitter taste in my mouth.”

Like Stieber, Snyder — the first collegiate wrestler to win the U.S. Open and make the World Team as a freshman — was dominant. With Snyder in the lineup, the Buckeyes

were favored to repeat as national champions.

Now sans Snyder, the Buckeyes are projected as a bubble team.

“Obviously, preseason rankings, you go from No. 1 to No. 5 when you don’t have a Kyle Snyder in the lineup,” Ryan said. “It’s hard to make up the 25 points that you consider him getting in the national tournament, but we’ve got people who can.”

Redshirt sophomores Nathan Tomasello and Bo Jordan can make up the points, and should.

Tomasello is coming off a 33-4 season in which he captured the Big Ten and NCAA championship at 125 pounds.

For Jordan, he is pegged as InterMat’s top-ranked wrestler at 174 pounds and comes off a 2014 LANTERN FILE PHOTO season in which he went 11-0 in dual meets and 9-0 against the Big OSU then-redshirt junior Johnni DiJulius during a match against Minnesota on Feb. 6 at the Schottenstein Center.
