OSU redshirt sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett runs with the ball during a game against Maryland on Oct. 10 at Ohio Stadium.

Penn State to test OSU’s offense RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu The Ohio State offense seems to be coming into its own, putting up 121 points in its last three games, including 49 against Maryland in Week 6.

The best test of the progress it has made since the start of the season could come on Saturday, as OSU (6-0, 2-0) welcomes a team ranked 10th in the nation in defense.

Penn State (5-1, 2-0) has allowed just 275.7 yards per game, including only 158.7 yards through the air.

OSU coach Urban Meyer said his team will have to be at its best to put up points against the Nittany

Lions.

“Excellent defense,” Meyer said.

“I think they’re top 10 … we had a hard time moving them last year, very good defense.”

That game last year was a double-overtime thriller in State College, Pennsylvania, in which the Buckeyes emerged with a 31-24 victory.

Then-sophomore defensive end Joey Bosa was the star of that night, piling up 2.5 sacks, including a game-ending sack in which he threw the Penn State blocker into quarterback Christian Hackenberg.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to top a moment like that this week,” Bosa said.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native called last year’s game “the

hardest fought game” he’s ever played and expects the Nittany Lions to present another tough test on Saturday. He said it all stems from the junior Hackenberg.

“I see a very confident quarterback, a guy that can really make all the throws down the field,” Bosa said.

Hackenberg, considered to be one of the nation’s top quarterback prospects, has struggled at times this season. On the year, he is 87-of-164 for 1,086 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.

Saturday’s contest is set to kick off at 8 p.m., the first night game Ohio Stadium has played host to since Nov. 1 of last season against Illinois. Redshirt senior H-back Braxton Miller said games played

at the primetime hour give the team a different sense of energy.

“The last couple of night games I played in, it was exciting, the atmosphere was crazy,” Miller said.

“Guys always love playing under the lights.”

With Penn State standing as one of the four teams in the Big Ten East division undefeated through two conference games, Bosa said the team recognizes games like that as key points of the season.“It gets bigger as the season continues because it’s harder every week to stay undefeated I think,” Bosa said. “It’s Big Ten season and that’s when I think it really picks up.”

At the east entrance of the Ohio Union, a series of nearly life-size portraits greet visitors.

Dubbed the “Identity Project,” the photographs show a series of portraits where the people photographed were empowered to choose the words that they wanted to represent them.

The photos are the creation of San Francisco-based photographer Sarah Deragon and are presented by the Multicultural Center in light of LGBTQ History Month.

“I wanted to start a conversation about expanding the understanding of what it means to be LGBTQ in today’s society,” Deragon said in an email.

Deragon said that visualizing individuals’ identities is important and resonant.

“If you grow up in or live in a place where you don’t see people like you around, it can be very isolating. Seeing people who are like you and who are happy and defining themselves on their terms is very empowering,” Deragon said.

A new website called InternWire allows students to post anonymous reviews of their past internships. According to the website’s founder, Michael Fearer, a fourth-year in electrical engineering, it is similar to the Rate My Professor website.

“You can also take a quiz on the site,” Fearer said. “You can put in where you want to intern, what your major is, and it can help you find which internships are right for you.”

Fearer said he came up with the idea for InternWire in March, just after a spring career fair.

“You get a packet of 300-plus companies and you just can’t see them all,” Fearer said.

“I wanted an easier way for students to learn about the companies before the fair so they could have a better idea of where they want to go while they’re there.”

Student-led sit-in protests solitary confinement PHOEBE POTIKER For The Lantern potiker.2@osu.edu Students crowd around the makeshift “cell” as Megan Secarda, a third-year in psychology, waits to enter and sit in silence for the next hour, but the sentence for a child imprisoned in the United States lasts much longer.

There were almost 71,000 juveniles incarcerated in 2010, according to a Department of Justice report.

The Ohio State chapter of the Student Alliance for Prison Reform held a 24-hour public performance from Monday to Tuesday on the West Pavilion of the Ohio Union to protest juvenile solitary confinement.

OSU’s SAPR chapter is one of 12 national chapters participating in the 7x9 Solitary Confinement Protest throughout the month of October.

7x9 (feet) represents the dimension of of a solitary confinement cell. Juveniles in Ohio correctional facilities spent an accumulative 229,000 hours in isolation, with more than 50 percent of juveniles committing suicide in correctional facilities while they were in solitary confinement, according to SAPR. SAPR chapters across the nation are teaming up with Fusion, a media conglomerate with a focus on social justice, to collect sig-

natures to petition the White House to stop the solitary confinement of juveniles.

Hallie Israel, a third-year in neuroscience and criminology and president of OSU’s SAPR, said prison reform is her passion.

“I hope that the display forces people to visually and spatially confront the issue, and then allows them to inform and educate themselves and sign our petition,” she said.

7x9, SAPR’s annual performance art exhibit aims to call attention to juveniles, as young as 13 years old, who are locked in solitary confinement.

A student sat in a 7-by-9-foot space, outlined in electrical tape, to symbolize a prison cell. The students sat in the cell with no books, music, and outside interaction, attempting to mimic prisoners’ lives in solitary confinement.

“I just thought about the kids who have to do that and I felt lucky just because I knew I had the choice to leave and live normally again,” said Kati Donahue, a second-year in fashion and retail studies who also participated in the protest.

In the last hour of the performance, the “cell” is left empty to represent the time that the prisoners are allowed to shower, exercise and call their families.

The demonstration attracted the attention of many students who stopped by to read the statistics printed on posters around the cell.

“The statistics are shocking,” said Nick Prayner, a second-year in marketing. “I think I am somewhat well-versed in social justice, but I didn’t even scrape the surface of prison reform.”

“When you consider that 95 percent of the kids in our federal justice system are going to eventually be restored members of our society,” Israel said. “If putting them in solitary and actively diminishing their capacity to succeed, we, as a justice system, are not doing our job.”

Through her major and involvement with SAPR, Israel said she hopes to study how juveniles are affected by solitary confinement.

Faith panel talks environment RIS TWIGG Lantern reporter twigg.10@osu.edu Ohio State students, faculty and Columbus community representatives joined Tuesday morning to discuss how different faiths are responding to environmental challenges.

The discussion was sparked by Laudato Si,’ the papal letter, in which the pope addressed climate change, was released.

The Environmental Professionals Network, serviced through OSU’s School of Environment and Natural Resources, hosted a panel with Catholic, Islamic, Jewish, Protestant, monastic, atheist and agnostic

perspectives being represented.

“We want to explore not just the encyclical but open up a conversation about this range, this wider landscape of what different moral perspectives have to say about the environment,” said Greg Hitzhusen, SENR assistant professor and moderator of the panel.

Panelists included Dan Misleh, director of the Catholic Climate Covenant; Jared Boyd, spiritual director of the Order of Sustainable Faith at Central Vineyard Church; Taymour El-Hosseiny, vice president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Columbus chapter; Donald Hubin, emeritus professor of philosophy and representative for atheists; and Jessica Shimberg, associate director for programs at the Alliance for Jewish Renewal.

Misleh, who works with 14 other national Catholic groups that encourage action on climate change, said he highly encourages those who have not read the pope’s encyclical to read and reflect on it.

“I think the biggest surprise has been how incredibly energetic the conversation in the United States has been as the encyclical approached and as it was released,” said Misleh. “One of the biggest challenges is I never thought that I would not be able to keep up with a 78-year-old man in Rome.”

El-Hosseiny said that environmental problems are not something that only people in the middle- and upper class should think about.

He reflected on seeing 20 Muslim youths from lower-income families cleaning up Sullivant Avenue in

Columbus.

“It corrected my way of thinking in that environmental concerns are not a luxury, they are mandatory, regardless of our faith, regardless if you don’t have any faith,” he said.

“We want to ... open up a conversation about this range, this wider landscape of what different moral perspectives have to say about the environment.”

Greg Hitzhusen SENR assistant professor

Hubin added that some atheists believe nature should be “exploited by humans” while others believe that since there is no afterlife, taking care of the environment is the best way to ensure they and future generations have the greatest life here on Earth.

“Atheists have been all over the map on their attitudes towards environmental problems,” he said.

Shimberg said taking environmental action in the community can be as simple as looking at what people consume. She said her Jewish congregation focuses on the environmental aspect of food.

“We have a lot of vegetarians and vegans,” Shimberg said. “It’s important to us (to think about) where was our food sourced, how was it prepared … so that’s an example of I think one small way. But as we were saying, the action is so much more important than, at times, the philosophy behind it.”

“I want to help determine behavioral and environmental contributors to antisocial behavior and then improve our rehabilitation programs,” she said. “I think that our justice systems should be more focused on re-entry and creating rehabilitated, restored citizens as opposed to simply acting as punishment.”

Donahue said she never knew how prevalent the social problem was because these children are not seen.

“It’s almost like they’re invisible,” Donahue said. “So, if people on the outside don’t care and fight for them, nothing is going to change.”

INTERNSHIPS FROM 1

ginning of the semester.

InternWire has already made deals with the Engineering Career Services and the Fisher College of Business. Fearer said they will be sending out emails to students about using InternWire.

“The ultimate goal of the website is to help students out,” Fearer said. “I’ve had four internships and I know how hard it is to find them.”

Some students said they like the idea of an internship-review website.

“I could definitely see myself using it,” said Emily Rice, a second-year in marketing. “You could find out what internships are actually like, as opposed to what the businesses say they’re like.”

Rice said that she thinks the idea of trying to find internships on her own is daunting and scary because it’s such a grown-up thing to do, adding that researching certain internships online could save time.

Fearer said he wants InternWire to function as a 24/7 career fair to take the pressure off students to only perform well on a few predetermined days throughout the school year.

Anthony Storrow, a second-year in exploration, said he is considering business as his major and is unsure how he will find an internship in the future.

“It’s sitting on the back burner right now,” Storrow said. “I know I’m going to have to at some point, but I’m going to need some sort of resource to help me out.”

Storrow said he liked the idea of getting some help before he has to face people at a career fair.

“Somebody like me who isn’t used to that kind of thing could benefit from seeing the opinions of

other people that have been there,” Storrow said.

Fearer said that the website won’t just help students but the companies that are getting reviewed, too.

“InternWire rewards companies that have good internship programs because they get the best reviews,” Fearer said. “The 27 companies I’ve talked to about it all had positive responses about the need for this kind of website.”

Fearer also said he has plans for more ways the site can give back.

“Every 1,000 views we get on the site, we will donate one percent of the profit to an educational charity,” Fearer said. “One of them will be Pencils of Promise, which builds schools in Third World countries.”

Right now, the site has mostly been used by friends and family who have helped Fearer get it up and running. He said he expects that to change in the coming months.

“We’re still in the startup phase,” Fearer said. “The potential is there, but the key is getting students to go on and make posts.”

Fearer also said that he encourages critiques of InternWire and wants to make it the best it can be, so he included an anonymous feedback section on the site.

Ultimately, Fearer said his goal is to help students out, so the more site traffic and constructive feedback he gets, the more beneficial the website can be to all students going forward.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

OSU Democrats say no on Issue 3 College Democrats at Ohio State urges its members and the entire Buckeye community to vote no on Issue 3 this November. Clearly it is past time to legalize marijuana in Ohio, but Issue 3 is not the way to do it. Issue 3 enshrines in our Ohio Constitution a cartel made up of the wealthy and well-connected that could only be broken up by another constitutional amendment, a hugely expensive and difficult proposition.

More importantly, Issue 3 inexplicably leaves out so-called “Fresh Start” language that would expunge marijuana convictions and allow those currently serving sentences to seek release. In other words, Issue 3 makes it legal for a select elite to have monopoly control of the market, charging us more for marijuana than in states like Colorado or Oregon, while doing nothing for the tens of thousands of Ohioans affected by marijuana-related fines and convictions.

It’s time to legalize marijuana in Ohio. For medical relief, for much-needed tax revenue, for the safety of its users, for the enjoyment of recreational users, but most of all it’s time to legalize to end the wrongs of decades of discriminatory and draconian laws. Issue 3 does not do so, and so reveals itself as a self-serving grab at Ohio pocketbooks.

Legalize it right. Vote no on 3.

Bringing sustainable food to OSU What would it look like if we started over?

Back in 2006, the United Nations warned us that agriculture is the leading cause of global climate change.

How inconvenient. We know what we love to eat. Yes, sometimes it’s kale salads. But more often than not it’s pizza. We LOVE pizza (and burgers, and cookies, and all that goodness). Some would even say addicted to it. Bottom line, it’s important to us. And we don’t want to give it up.

On the other hand, how empowering! For once, the solution to perhaps the world’s greatest crisis is in our hands. We can actually fix this, and it’s as simple as what goes into our fridges, piles onto our plates and ends up in our bellies. We hold the key.

And I mean it. We hold the key. At OSU, university dining halls have a HUGE footprint on the environment. We’ve got the capacity to create colossal change through innocuous, barely perceptible changes. There have already been students who have expressed an interest in OSU dining partner-

ing with Hampton Creek so we could join other universities who are already making a difference.

Consider this: Rutgers University recently partnered with trailblazing Silicon Valley food tech company Hampton Creek. At Rutgers, they replaced just a few of their dining hall products for Hampton Creek’s more sustainable versions. They were able to save 31 million quarts of water and 35 million grams of carbon emissions. Every.

Single. Year.

We need to be thinking more like Rutgers and, ultimately, more like Hampton Creek. Their company orbits around questions: “What would it look like if we started over?” If we unraveled the food system, and started from scratch, how would we do things?

Well, for one, food would taste better. It would also cost less, be healthier for our bodies, wouldn’t be so horrible for the environment and help reduce the suffering of

animals. Hampton Creek focuses their innovation around making food that fulfills all of that and more. And it’s working, they were just named to CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list. Why we’re not among the 500 colleges already partnering with Hampton Creek is beyond me.

Let’s ask that same question. “What would it look like if we started over at OSU dining?” Hampton Creek is just the tip of the iceberg. Stanford converts its used cooking oil to biodiesel, Duke banned Styrofoam and UT Austin serves fresh produce from its own gardens.

There are a million ways we can make sure our food system at OSU is helping, not hurting, the planet. Let’s make sustainability our legacy. Then we can get back to eating pizza.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A call to action for the youth generation Kicking the can down the road — we do it rather well in this country. Whether it is reforming the funding formulas for Social Security and Medicare, or addressing our nation’s crippling debt and deficit, or rising college costs, or wage stagnation, we seem to put off solving problems today that we can solve tomorrow.

According to the Social Security Administration, Social Security is likely to become insolvent in the early 2030s. According to Medicare’s trustees, it will become insolvent even sooner, in the late-2020s. That might seem far off, but it isn’t. The federal Highway Trust Fund, which funds upgrades in transportation, is set to expire Oct. 29.

These impending calamities have not come from thin air, though. Congress has known for some time action is needed, upwards of the last decade and more. But has Congress acted in a serious and meaningful way? No. These issues are difficult to solve, to say the least. After all, if these problems were so easy to solve, they would already be solved.

Our members of Congress are human, like us. Perhaps they do not have answers to all these problems. But there is more to it than that.

For many elected officials, these issues are not priorities. The average age of a member of Congress is 57 years old — 61 years old for the average senator. Why should someone around that age be expected to prioritize stemming rising college costs, wage stagnation or the impending insolvency of Social Security and Medicare? When these programs go belly up, most of these people —

with all due respect — will either be in nursing homes, six feet under or golfing in South Florida. Kicking the can down the road is easy for them because they will not have to live with the ramifications of inaction. The status quo bodes well for them — but not for their grandchildren.

“If we ignore these issues, they will not solve themselves. If we ignore these issues, we become complicit in our own fate, intentional or not.”

-Andrew Podab

Our generation’s engagement in these issues can command the attention of elected officials. If youth engagement as a percentage can rival that of our parents and grandparents, elected officials would be wise to heed our wants and needs more than they currently do — it would be shrewd electoral politics to do so. Research shows those who participate in government and politics receive more attention than those who do not. Thinking realistically, why should an elected official be responsive to a generation

16th Annual President and Provost’s Diversity Lecture and Cultural Arts Series with WIL HAYGOOD

President Michael Drake and Provost Joseph Steinmetz invite you to attend the sixteenth annual Diversity Lecture & Cultural Arts Series at The Ohio State University. This program offers the campus and the Columbus community opportunities to benefit from some of the most eminent scholars, artists, and professionals who discuss and exemplify excellence through diversity.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER

21 5:00 P.M.

Ohio Union | Performance Hall | 1739 N. High Street Award-winning author Wil Haygood, in his highly-anticipated Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America, recounts the ferocious, five-day fight in the U.S. Senate over Lyndon Johnson’s 1967 nomination of the first African-American to the United States Supreme Court. In this new portraiture of Marshall, Haygood revives the life an American hero whose NAACP leadership and decades of legal maneuvering brought down the separate-but-equal doctrine that had relegated African Americans to secondclass citizenship. The battle to confirm Marshall’s nomination, vehemently opposed by a powerful band of southern Senators, took place against a backdrop of nationwide urban riots protesting the unequal treatment and living conditions of black Americans.

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and the first in his family to earn a college degree, Haygood went on to report for decades for two of the nation’s leading newspapers, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. In

JCU

those roles, he witnessed Nelson Mandela’s release, was taken hostage by Somalian rebels, provided extensive coverage of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, traveled with candidate Barack Obama, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

In his well-known New York Times bestseller, The Butler: A Witness to History, Haygood recalled the life of a previously unknown White House butler who served eight U.S. presidents and was later an associate producer of its film adaption starring seven Academy Award winners, including Forest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Robin Williams, Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Fonda, and Oprah Winfrey.

Haygood will discuss Marshall’s historic confirmation and his belief in the American court system to end racial injustice. An opportunity to hear this homegrown, nationally-revered writer talk about the civil rights lawyer who successfully argued the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, is an evening not to be missed.

Free and open to the public.

that does not engage or vote in large numbers, who therefore pose little threat to the official’s re-election when he or she is not responsive? If elected officials consciously ignore issues important to our generation, there is little threat of reprisal. Martin Wattenberg humorizes that “politicians are not fools; they know who their customers are.

Why should they worry about young nonvoters any more than the makers of denture cream worry about people with healthy teeth?” Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in his 2016 presidential campaign, has reached out to youths, as he believes many align with his more libertarian values, but youths do not engage or vote in large enough numbers to sway the election.

Ironically, there is a cyclical nature to the process of impassiveness between young people and elected officials: A lack of our generation’s engagement in the electoral process necessitates a lack of attention paid to youth issues by elected officials; a lack of attention paid to youth issues by elected officials necessitates a lack of our generation’s engagement in government and politics. Which caused which in the first place is a chicken-or-the-egg type of question, but it shows how each side’s apathy indirectly reinforces its own indifference.

This is a call to action. Our generation, those in their teens and twenties, has to get engaged — our fiscal future depends on it.

It is not my intention to scare or guilt people into action, as that might sound very doom-and-gloom, but we must awaken our generation out of indifference and apathy. I

recognize every 18-to-29 year old will not engage, but more should. What is realistic is for each of us to find an issue we are especially passionate about, and focus on tackling that issue. For some it might be rising college costs — great. For others it might be addressing deteriorating entitlement programs — great. For the remainder it might be the dissatisfaction with partisan vitriol between Democrats and Republicans — great. Pick an issue and contact your elected officials about it. Send them an email or call their offices. Even easier, talk to your friends and neighbors about it. Encourage them to become more engaged.

If we ignore these issues, they will not solve themselves. If we ignore these issues, we become complicit in our own fate, intentional or not. Our elected officials will continue to eschew acting soon if we remain unengaged and unconcerned. The positive news — and there is some — is that we have an opportunity to act, but we must do so quickly. We are the masters of our own fate.

That is both gift and curse. The curse lies in that the window to act is closing, whether we act or not. Inertia allows the can to continue being kicked down the road, but our mobilization can stop it. Enough is enough; let’s stop kicking the can down the road.

Veach brought about this idea as another way to foster the art form of dancing and for people, including CDT dancers, to recognize that there can be many choreographers — many he hopes will be continuing this in the future.

“The way you get to being a good choreographer is by making dances, you do it, you go through the act of doing,” Veach said.

One of Veach’s most anticipated upcoming performances will be that of “Hamlet Prism,” set to take place in April. The performance, which will tell the famous Shakespeare story of “Hamlet” through music, dance and spoken word, was organized by Veach, his wife and actress Christina Kirk.

“All of the characters will be done through dance … with us speaking their lines,” Veach said.

Veach said he has become very interested in this type of performance, a merge of theater and

dance. One of Veach’s previous productions, “Claudel,” touched along some of the same lines because the performance involved dancers in the role of artist Camille Claudel as well as Kirk acting out the monologue. Veach mentioned that his work consists of moving his audience through an idea that takes on a sort of narrative structure.

Christian Broomhall, a dancer and teacher at CDT, met Veach while Veach was getting his masters at OSU. Broomhall, who grew up in Columbus, said CDT is a nice place to work because of the tools it provides with having a rehearsal space and having a theater in the back studio of the building.

thing here,” he said.

When asked how Broomhall felt about working with Veach, he said his attitude is something he really enjoys.

“It’s great, he’s really positive … he loves what he’s doing, and loves what we’re doing,” he said.

“He’s very open and wanting us to explore … a great facilitator for us to grow and explore, do different things.”

Veach and the rest of the CDT company is also working on another upcoming show for this year, “Matchgirl.” He added that their performance of the “Nutcracker” will feature a cast of 95 performers, a full choir and an orchestra. The show is set to take place this December at the Lincoln Theater.

Shows like “Romeo and Juliet,” “V2” and the Columbus Dancers Fellowship Concert are also set to take place in the spring of next year.

“I think dance is the revealing of the human spirit through expected and unexpected movement. I think that it is poetry of the body,” Veach said. “It takes us to places that we can’t get to any other way but through our own bodies movements.”

Sonia BasSheva Manjon, director of the Barnett Center and associate professor of arts administration, education and policy.

“If you look at the field of nonprofit arts, the resources are really dwindling,” Manjon said. “Artists are not able to sustain themselves if they’re just reliant on government funding or foundation funding, so arts entrepreneurship is a way to rethink how artists sustain their creative careers.”

Jason White, a doctoral candidate in arts administration, education and policy and a presenter and Host Committee member for this year’s conference, said that entrepreneurial and business skills were missing from his undergraduate education in performing arts at the California Institute of the Arts.

“They taught me to perform well and to think about aspects of performing in a variety of different ways,” White said. “However, when I go out there and hit the pavement running I realized quite quickly that I did not know how to market myself, manage myself or my own career. I didn’t even know too much about finance, about taxes. I didn’t know about business structures.”

White said his passion for the

field of arts entrepreneurship education stems from his desire to use his experiences as a working artist to help current students solve the problems that he encountered early in his career.

“I’ve starved in New York, I’ve starved in L.A. I’ve had great successes in both places, I’ve won awards, and now I’m here,” White said. “I’m the quintessential guy who, when I talk to students, I’m like ‘I know what you’re going through, and I know what you need.’”

In addition to presenters from colleges and universities all over the country, this year’s conference has seen a push for members of the greater art community to join in the event, Manjon said.

“If we’re not connecting (students) to the artists that are already in Columbus, that are already doing things, or agencies that can help sustain their work, then I think we’re not really about entrepreneurship,” Manjon said. “Entrepreneurship is not a theoretical construct, it’s about how you sustain yourself financially as a creative.”

Manjon said she hopes the conference attracts students studying industries outside of the arts, and serves to encourage collaboration

between different disciplines. “(I’m hoping) this conference will draw from a wide range of students from across disciplines to understand just how powerful the arts and creativity is in terms of shaping culture,” Manjon said.

“Because that’s what we all do at the end of the day. We’re all shaping culture in our various industries and professions and livelihoods.”

The SAEE Second Annual Conference will be held on Friday and Saturday. Registration is $35 for students and $50 for adults and can be done on the Barnett Center for Integrated Arts and Enterprise’s website.

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Sam and the Barbers no longer ‘your buddy’s band’ HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu In the two years that Sam and the Barbers has existed, it has had six different formations. But good friends Derrick Walter and Brett Williams have remained constants.

The former Ohio State students started the band in high school after they met through mutual friends. They even played a couple school dances, an experience they described as “awkward.”

“I just want to play all the time and if playing all the time means playing to three people each night, that’s fine.”

Derek Walter Band member

“This was 2009 when everyone was dying for the stanky leg to come on,” lead vocalist and guitarist Walter said.

Williams, the drummer, said it was a battle of the bands setup.

“Us and one other band played, and we got the award. We won and then the homecoming king came up and announced ‘now we’re gonna play some real music,’” he said.

They took it in stride.

“I think I cheered too,” Walter said.

Both of them went to OSU for a PORTRAITS FROM 1

gender and sexuality.” Participants in the project are playing with language to show their “pride and ‘ever-changing identities.’”

“I am committed to reflect the beautiful diversity of our LGBTQ communities and actively sought people who are POC, trans*, bisexual, youth, elders, disabled, immigrant and otherwise identify as outside of the mainstream gay and lesbian culture,” Deragon said.

“I spent several years working for Frameline, the International LGBT film festival in San Francisco, and saw how powerful it can be for communities to see images of themselves reflected in the world.”

Students have responded to is-

“Primarily socially it was hard.

I didn’t make very many friends.

I was in a smaller class where everyone was really outgoing and I wasn’t,” Walter said. “I just found out that I know what parts of music I want to know more about and I know how to learn, so there’s no point in doing it on somebody else’s schedule and paying for it.”

Both of them are involved in Musician’s Collective, a student organization for local musicians on campus.

“We live so close to campus right now, the parts that we really like about college life, we still get to be involved in,” Williams said.

Not going to college gives them more time to dedicate to the band.

When they aren’t working, they spend time booking shows, writing songs, practicing and staying active on the band’s social media accounts.

Sam and the Barbers plays once a week on average. Walters and Williams agreed that this is uncommon for local bands.

“I know it’s a big thing with bands right now, especially around here, to try to keep it to like once a month so that you can get a good crowd every time,” Walter said.

“For me, being in a band I just want to play all the time and if playing all the time means playing to three people each night, that’s fine.” sues The Identity Project raises.

“I think the project is great,” said Cole Ledford, a fourth-year in business real estate who supports the LGBTQ community. “The photos are showing so many different representations of so many different identities, and even more importantly, they are showing more than just one identity (on a single individual).”

Ledford said people struggle with their identities because they have to oppress their true identities in order to fit one of the labels society gives them. This project allows students to be able to showcase to others that they don’t have to fit that label.

Columbus band Sam and the Barbers.

Walters and Williams said that playing often helps their fan base rather than hurting it.

“You don’t always have to rely on your fanbase. A lot of times there will be people there and then you’ll get more people to like you, people who haven’t seen you before,” Williams said.

Living and collaborating together certainly causes conflict from time to time, but disagreements are important to the finished product, Walter said.

“That’s the point of being in a band. That’s the difference between a band and somebody who has a

solo project and a backing band. A band is a product and you get that product by having differences,” he said.

Moving forward, Walter and Williams are looking to add a third member to cover the keyboard and synthesizer parts as they move toward a synth-pop sound.

They released a new single, “I Promise I’ll Never Promise Again,” on the band’s Soundcloud account on Tuesday at midnight , which they said is reflective of the direction they want to go.

“I think it made us sound more relevant, more like a modern band.

When we were just kind of a guitar band we got a lot of comments about how cool it was that we were a throwback, vintage-y type band, “ Walter said. “That’s definitely not what we wanted to be.”

The track was recorded locally, then sent to Los Angeles to be produced and mastered.

“It’s definitely a step up in quality from all of the previous stuff. It’s going to seem less like ‘your buddy’s band’ when you listen to it,” Walter said.

that made him feel uncomfortable.

“If you want equal, you should behave like anyone else,” he said.

Graduate and Professional School Expo Checklist Michael Huson Campus Editor huson.4@osu.edu The first step to a successful visit to the 2015 Graduate and Professional School Expo is to be prepared.

By planning ahead and coming equipped with the right questions, attendees can better use their time and make the most of the opportunity to connect with admissions representatives from more than 100 participating institutions.

Student Life Career Counseling and Support Services suggests knowing who you want to meet at the expo, staying focused on making a good first impression, establishing a reliable means to keep in touch with representatives and visiting the two panel discussions with graduate students and faculty in the Grand Hall Meeting Room, held during the expo between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

To the right is a checklist of 15 questions the Student Life Career Counseling and Support Services suggests visitors consider and ask while attending the expo.

Checklist: ◻ Does the program focus on theory and research, or does it emphasize application of knowledge and skills? ◻ Can you give me an example of the courses that this program offers? ◻ Is the program accredited? ◻ Is the program well-established or relatively new? ◻ What is the faculty to student ratio? Do they hold degrees from leading institutions? ◻ What type of special recognition have they earned (e.g., awards, grants, etc.)? ◻ What have they published? Do the top scholars teach or are they primarily involved in research? ◻ Is there diversity in both cultural backgrounds and research interests? ◻ What are the tuition and fees? What types of financial aid are available? Are assistantships or fellowships available? ◻ What are the state requirements for becoming a resident (i.e. how soon can you become a resident to reduce your tuition)? ◻ What is the quality of the library, recreation center, and other areas designed for studying or student interaction? ◻ What type of employment assistance is provided by the program or the university as a whole? ◻ With which companies or organizations do graduates tend to find employment? ◻ What are employment opportunities in the area? ◻ Would I like to live and study here?

Department of Spanish and Portuguese awarded grant money for doctoral candidates REGINA FOX Lantern reporter fox.1001@osu.edu Ohio State’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese has been awarded a $600,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Graduate Assistant in Areas of National Need program.

The grant will be dispersed among five fellows, individuals seeking a doctorate’s degree in Spanish or Portuguese, and will take the form of a yearly stipend that ranges from $20,000 to $34,000 per year for up to three years, and each fellow’s tuition

will be fully covered by the federal government. The recipients will be named in December.

“What we wanted to do with this grant is make Ph.D studies available for those who can’t afford it,” said Glenn Martinez, a professor of Hispanic linguistics and department chair.

This is not the department’s first grant. Last year, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the College of Nursing teamed up and won a $2.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop Spanish language skills in nurses who counsel patients with diabetes.

Martinez said this is a good example of teaching Spanish as a profession.

“There’s a national need to teach future Spanish teachers in a way they can effectively deal with obstacles in today’s world,” Martinez said. “I think that physicians and public health workers are really coming into contact with Spanish-speaking populations in ways they’ve never done before.”

Martinez’s colleague, Lisa Voigt, is an associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese and took part in applying for the GAANN program grant.

“Portuguese is a global language

— spoken in eight countries on four continents — and it is also on the rise in the U.S. as a result of Brazilian immigration,” Voigt said.

“We continue to see growth in the study of both Spanish and Portuguese, reflecting their importance in the U.S. as well as on the global stage.”

Voigt said she believes that the additional five fellows made possible by the grant will be fully equipped to teach America’s future Spanish speakers.

“As a result of their training in our comprehensive, highly rated graduate programs, the fellows will contribute positively and mean-

ingfully to the study and teaching of Spanish and Portuguese in the U.S.,” she said.

Martinez said he believes that being fluent in Spanish is a gateway for more professional and social opportunities.

“I think that in the environment we’re living in, with the growing Spanish-speaking population and the convergence of markets all across the hemisphere, there is nothing you can imagine yourself doing that you couldn’t be better at without Spanish or Portuguese,” Martinez said.

OSU law school applications expected to increase ASHLEY NELSON Lantern reporter nelson.1217@osu.edu A recent Kaplan Test Prep survey found that law school admissions will soon have more applicants to evaluate, despite 2014 seeing the smallest class entering law school in the last 40 years.

Ohio State ranks 11th nationwide in undergraduate students who to apply to law school.

The Kaplan survey included 120 law schools from across the country, and stated that “...law school admissions officers predict that they are going to see something they haven’t seen in many years: an increase in applications.

Of the law schools who participated in the survey, 88 percent said EXPO FROM 9

tutions across the U.S., including many of OSU’s own programs.

Jenni Nauman, a career counselor in the Office of Student Life Career Counseling and Support Services, said the expo is not only a good opportunity for students who are set on attending graduate school and wish to explore their options but is also a valuable opportunity for students to explore the idea of furthering their education in graduate school.

“The main goal for students is that we want them to know that this is a resource for them to learn about graduate options. We want them to know what all is out there,” she said.

they are confident they will see a spike in the upcoming application cycle, despite the drop in numbers in previous years.

According to the Law School Admission Council, the organization that writes the LSAT, 384 OSU students applied to law school during the 2013-14 cycle. This was down from the 2009-10 cycle when that number was 614.

The survey also found that 35 percent of law schools cut the number of seats for their 2015 class of first-year students, much lower than the 54 percent who reported doing so for the 2014 class. Students might find it comforting that the number of schools with declining acceptance rates has dropped significantly.

Until this year, law-school appli-

cations were decreasing, and many schools in previous years were decreasing their class size, said Jeff Thomas, executive director of prelaw programs at Kaplan Test Prep.

Thomas stated in the Kaplan survey press release that “the job market continues to be competitive for new law-school graduates, which no doubt weighs heavily on the minds of prospective applicants, so any turnaround will likely be slow to build.”

Thomas said he does not want that to deter students who are passionate about the law from applying, however.

“Don’t let the statistics faze you one way or another. If you are passionate about the law, focus on your process, not the school’s (process),” Thomas said.

Ben Fogel, a first-year law student, said when he was applying to law school he was unaware of the current trends in law school admissions.

“I only learned about a lot of them afterwards,” Fogel said. “The only things I was focusing on was the big four; my GPA, my LSAT score, my letters of recommendation, and my personal statement. “ Fogel said undergraduates considering law school should not be afraid, even though the number of applications are increasing.

“Don’t psych yourself out reading statistics about the law market and inflating law school applications and committees getting pickier … you will find the right place for you,” he said.

Thomas said he is most often

asked whether applying to law school is the right decision. It is a big investment in both time and money and can be daunting for anyone considering furthering his or her education.

“Continue to be introspective about law school. Do not spend three years of your life for just another degree. Make sure you know why you want to go to law school,” Thomas said. “The second thing is, as applications increase at this point, you must take the application process very seriously. Be aware that you have to be a competitive applicant in your GPA, your LSAT score and your involvement.”

Students who are unsure whether they would like to pursue higher education might want to use the opportunity to learn more about graduate schools by asking questions at the expo’s two panel discussions.

The panels will take place in the Great Hall Meeting Room at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The first will consist of graduate students taking questions and the second of faculty.

Students who are already considering graduate and professional schools might use the expo to explore their options and create connections with representatives from programs they find interesting.

wants to help ensure students know how to successfully apply to graduate school as well as allow students an opportunity to learn what could be expected with the graduate experience.

Nauman said applying to a graduate school in the fall of one’s junior year is ideal, allowing a full year before one wishes to start attending school at the institution.

But, she added, it is never too late or too early to start the process, and early inquiries can help students plan ahead academically to help their chances.

“The more informed they can be about the application process, the better off they’re going to be,” she

said.

The expo serves as an opportunity for students in their second year who might consider submitting and application during the following year’s fall application cycle.

Nauman said students can come casually dressed in street clothes and don’t need to bring a resume.

They should, however, come prepared with plenty of questions for admissions representatives.

For students who are more generally curious about graduate school possibilities, she suggested asking questions regarding the types of programs being offered at different institutions, the kind of educational background that is needed to pre-

ferred and the possible outcomes for students who have completed different programs.

“Nauman added that students who come to the expo are encouraged to speak with a representative in person, which offers a more individualized, tailored assistance with the application process than speaking with an institution’s advisor over the phone.

She said the expo is an open event with no registration required to attend, but OSU students who respond by registering on the Career Counseling and Support Services website before the day of the event will be registered in a drawing to win an Apple Watch.

pretty sharp,” he said.

Meyer said after his approval Smith and others affiliated with the team — such as two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin — poured over the design. But what they reviewed is not what fans will see on Saturday.

Smith said they did not approve the exact prototype Nike proposed.

He, along with other program confidants, made revisions to be more in line with OSU’s history and tradition.

Stripes on the side of the pants,

along with adding more of scarlet hue to the numbers, were two of the main updates that they orchestrated, Smith said.

This process — Nike proposing an idea, then OSU offering its modifications after consulting with select players, former players and certain administrators before settling on a final product — happens every time the Swoosh suggests alternates, Smith said.

Nike and OSU have been collaborating on alternate uniforms since 2009, when the Buckeyes debuted

trying to recognize a shift in demographic and move the program forward.

“So there is that balance of respect, our history and tradition, but also moving ourselves further into the 21st century, which kind of the landscape defines that for you,” he said. “And the uniforms are part of that.”

Despite the desire to move further into the 21st century, OSU does not intend to ever turn into a school like Oregon, which seemingly has different uniforms each

week, Smith said. Rather, each year the school will try to pick one game to suit up in nontraditional garb.

The athletic director added that next year’s jerseys are already being designed. As for what those will those look like, Smith said, “Give me a break. I’m just trying to get through the day. Obviously, I can’t share that.”

OSU is set to take on Penn State — wearing the black jerseys — on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m.

Sack masters Saturday’s game features two of the top players in the country when it comes to bringing the opposing quarterback down.

Penn State redshirt senior defensive end Carl Nassib has recorded more sacks than anyone else in the nation with 10 — all solo.

The hulking 6-foot-7, 272-pound West Chester, Pennsylvania, product has at least one sack in each of his six games this year, including three games with two or more sacks.

On the other side, Bosa hasn’t found the same results this season but is still feared nationally after picking up 21 sacks in his first two seasons.

Bosa recorded his first solo sack of the season against Maryland, with a first-game suspension, constant double or triple teams and quick-handed quarterbacks holding him back.

“It feels good to get there, obviously,” Bosa said. “It’s what D-linemen go for every game, to get their sacks.”

As a team, the Nittany Lions are second in the country with 4.17 sacks per game, while OSU is 11th with 3.17.

On the other side of the ball, OSU is 20th in the country with 1.17 sacks allowed per game, while Hackenberg has been brought down 3.17 times per game, 112th in the nation.

Up next After Saturday’s 8 p.m. showdown, the Buckeyes are slated to travel to Piscataway, New Jersey, to face Rutgers on Oct. 24. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

“It’s going to be a tough game and we’re just going to continue to do what we do,” Mason said.

The opposing team The Wildcats are entering Wednesday’s match coming off a 4-1 victory over Evansville, extending their winning streak to five games and overall record to 7-2-1.

Sophomore forward Stefan Stojkovic leads the team with five goals and one assist on the season, followed by junior midfielder Napo Matsoso with four goals and five assists and freshman forward Xahne Reid with three goals and four assists.

Senior goalkeeper Callum Irving has played all but 11 minutes of the season and has a goals-against average of 0.78, with 22 saves overall.

Keeper repeats Big Ten honors OSU redshirt senior goalkeeper Chris Froschauer has been named Big Ten Defensive Player of the

their version of the Pro Combat uniform series against Michigan.

Since then, the Buckeyes have worn a handful of other Nike-designed alternates, including Pro Combat installments in 2010 and 2011, as well similar variations of the chrome uniforms worn in the 2013 Orange Bowl and against Penn State last season.

When they go about formulating different jersey concepts, Smith said there is always a balance between respecting the tradition of OSU’s football team, but also

Week for the second consecutive week.

Froschauer is coming off a season-high seven-save performance against Indiana on Saturday night, which was the fourth shutout of his career. Froschauer is tied for third in the Big Ten with a total of 39 saves.

“I’ve had the luxury to step in here to be playing in front of some great goalkeepers,” Mason said. “I think that’s huge for team morale and team mentality knowing that we can rely on someone to save us when we need them.”

What’s next?

The Buckeyes are scheduled to return home to face Wisconsin at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

Nittany Lions’ opening game, things were not looking pretty.

In-state rival Temple thoroughly dominated Penn State, coming away with a 27-10 victory, and potentially sending coach James Franklin’s squad to a downward spiral of a season.

However, the Nittany Lions did just the opposite.

Since the opening game in Philadelphia, Penn State outscored its opponents 141-59 on the way to a five-game winning streak.

“I remember watching them their first game this year and it’s nowhere close to where they’re looking now,” Bosa said. “They’re finally getting it together and looking like a really good team.”

Penn State’s victories came against Buffalo, Rutgers, San Diego State, Army and Indiana.

However, all five of those games came at home at Beaver Stadium, so it remains to be seen if the Nittany Lions can improve from their

Michela Paradiso is in the midst of her final season on the Ohio State women’s soccer team, but her journey to this point began long before the midfielder/forward ever stepped onto the pitch for the Buckeyes.

Paradiso turned to soccer at a young age and has been in love with the game ever since.

“I started playing soccer when I was 3 years old,” Paradiso said.

“It was really because I wasn’t very good at ballet. I loved being a part of a team and being with girls and just working hard.”

Although Paradiso’s love for soccer always existed, choosing where she was to play collegiately was not an easy decision. A native of Columbus suburb Upper Arlington, Paradiso chose to stay close to home.

“I realize that family is such a big part of my life and I wanted them

to be able to be here and watch me play every week,” Paradiso said. “I have four sisters and they all come and support me, and I love being close to home and them all wearing their Ohio State gear.”

Paradiso sits tied for fifth in OSU history with 16 assists. She’s a star on the soccer field but her hard work does not stop there.

“I want to go to (medical) school when I’m done here, so it’s been hard to balance both,” she said.

“But I try to put my absolute best in both aspects of my life. I think I’ve finally learned in my senior year how to make that happen.”

Paradiso attributes much of her success on the field and in the classroom to her teammates.

“It’s definitely tough, but I have great teammates that support me and understand when I need to study and push me on the soccer field, so it’s great to be a part of a team like ours,” she said.

A bevy of mixed emotions might enter student-athletes’ minds when they know it is their final season in

college, but Paradiso’s outlook is to remain positive.

“I’ve tried to treat every game like it’s my absolute last game. So if I leave it all out there I won’t have any regrets when my career comes to an end,” she said. “I just try to treat every game like it’s my last chance.”

Paradiso was named OSU’s captain before the season, alongside senior defender Morgan Wolcott, who is currently sidelined due to injury. She said Wolcott is “such a talented player” and that seeing her on the sideline has inspired the team.

“We’ve just tried to be playing for her on the sideline and know that we’re going to give our best effort for her sake,” Paradiso said.

“I can’t wait until she’s back on the field.”

Being named team captain is an honor that not many athletes can claim, and Paradiso said she is humbled and grateful for the chance to don a “C” on her kit.

“It means so much to me because

The Ohio State men’s soccer team is prepared to head back on the road to battle an equally hot team Wednesday night, as the Buckeyes await a showdown with Kentucky at 7 p.m. in Lexington, Kentucky.

Just like the Scarlet and Gray, which stands at 6-4-2 overall, the Wildcats are on a five-game winning streak, which makes OSU senior defender Liam Doyle expect a high-powered matchup.

“Kentucky’s a good team. They move the ball and they have willing runners,” Doyle said. “I think they’re very similar to us, which makes it such a good matchup.”

The Buckeyes are aware of the Wildcats’ style of playing and know well what the team has to do to take out Kentucky: defend.

“We’re a very strong defensive team,” senior midfielder Zach Mason said. “First and foremost, we try to make it very difficult for the opposition and when you do that to some very good opponents, they tend to get frustrated and open themselves up.”

Mason said the team will take every opportunity given to it to try to grab a win in any way possible.

Doyle also said that if the team continues to do what it is currently

there’s been so many great soccer players before me here at Ohio State that have been captain that I’ve looked up to,” Paradiso said.

“Since I was a little girl, I came to these games. I have so much pride SOOCER CONTINUES ON 11 for what it means to be a Buckeye.”

As an end to the women’s soccer team’s regular season is in sight, Paradiso said she hopes she is remembered for one thing in competing for the Scarlet and Gray: her passion.

“I just hope people realize how much passion I have for the game and when you’re out there you need to be showing your heart and your passion and respecting the game by giving your absolute best every time.”

Paradiso and the rest of the Buckeyes are set to continue conference play on Thursday against ED MOMOT | FOR THE LANTERN Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey.

OSU sophomore forward The game is scheduled to begin at Marcus McCrary (19) during 7 p.m. a game against Penn State on Sept. 20 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. OSU tied 1-1.

Tracing the origin of Ohio State’s black jerseys KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu On Saturday against Penn State, Ohio State will take the field at Ohio Stadium sporting a look different than its familiar scarlet and gray uniforms: black jerseys.

Rumors about the possibility of the Buckeyes donning the alternate kits have been swirling for years, but on Oct. 3, Nike officially released an image of the exact style.

The black jersey features big scarlet digits outlined in gray. On the sleeves, there is a scarlet stripe of medium thickness sand-

wiched between two smaller white stripes, which are then outlined by thinner gray stripes.

For the pants, a similar looking stripe runs vertically down the side. The helmets — which junior running back Ezekiel Elliott called “beautiful” after OSU’s win over Maryland — are matte black, with black facemasks. Down the center of the dome piece runs the same style stripe from the pants and sleeves.

“They’re gonna look sick,” junior defensive end Joey Bosa said.

The idea for OSU to deviate from its usual scarlet tops and gray bottoms to the

all-blacks came not from the athletic department or anyone in Columbus, but rather from Nike’s headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

About two years ago, according to OSU athletic director Gene Smith, Nike pitched the possibility of veering away from the traditional threads for a game.

The idea, however, was not as well received at first — at least for OSU coach Urban Meyer.

“No way, no chance,” he said of when he initially heard of the concept.

But then he saw them.
