Favorite subject to write about: I'm not sure I have a favorite subject necessarily. I just steer clear of fashion because I like wearing my pajamas more often than not and therefore people shouldn't take fashion advice from me. Favorite piece you've written: I really enjoyed learning more about Native Cold Pressed, it's mission and values and co-owners Nicole and Erin we're so completely interesting to me. Favorite OSU food: Taste of Orient, Red Chili, Moy's, Joy's Village. I feel like they don't need an explanation, the food speaks for itself.

a look back at men and women's basketball Written by Geoff Hammersley Photographed by David Heasley

I
n a rare instance, both Ohio State’s men’s and women’s programs played postseason basketball at the same time – within a mile of each other. The men’s squad battled Florida in the second round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) inside the Schottenstein Center, while the women’s danced with West Virginia in the second round of the NCAA tournament at historic St. John Arena. Staying true to the dynamics of the season, the women’s squad rallied behind Kelsey Mitchell’s 45 points, and punched a ticket to the Sweet 16. Likewise, the men got into a deficit early, clawed back, but ultimately lost in another high profile game. Let’s look back at how this season came to be. This wasn’t an overnight sensation that put the women’s team on a trajectory for a Final Four run, and the men’s team on the tournament bubble (which busted); there were clues all the way along. Who You Play Now, Defines Who You Are Later Right off the bat, the women’s team battled UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Texas A&M. When the regular season was finally completed, coach Kevin McGuffin had his team play all the components of last year’s Final Four, which in turn led to the Buckeyes’ having the experience and prowess of a contending team and made them ready for the bright lights of the NCAA Tournament On the other side of the table, the men played UConn and Kentucky, splitting the games. However, early season debacles against Texas-Arlington, Louisiana Tech and Memphis attributed to the Buckeyes being on the bubble, before analysts even thought about the tournament. In conference play, the men’s side held their own at home, but were humbled on the road. When they traveled to College Park, Md.

to play Big Ten foe Maryland, the Buckeyes were down by as much as 44. (Yes, you read that right.) A Person to Count On Between Kelsey Mitchell and Amorist Alston, the lady Buckeyes could count on a majority of their points coming from the backcourt. At times, the tandem seemed unstoppable; other times, the duo seemed beatable – but still found ways to win. The same cannot be said for the men’s squad, where the team had an identity crisis in the scoring department. Some nights, Marc Loving would be the go-to man and drop 20 points, and other nights, it was Jae’Sean Tate or JaQuan Lyle leading in the point category. However, none could be counted on as the consistent person to score in big road games. Against the likes of Maryland, Purdue and Michigan State, the Buckeyes were held in check – and lost each of those games by at least 10 points. The Youth Movement Moving Forward By only being a sophomore, Mitchell has proven that she will go down as one of the greatest basketball players in OSU’s history. Her stats have been off the charts, and will probably continue on a linear path into legendary status in college basketball lore. Next season should be better for the men. Now that the growing pains are gone, the starting five should be full of familiar faces. Expect the Buckeyes to be back in the dance next March, led by the quartet of Loving, Lyle, Tate and Keita Bates-Diop.

World Cup Fortress
Mapfre Stadium hosts USMNT
Written by Ben Ferree
MAPFRE Stadium, home of Columbus Crew SC, was home to a different team on March 29- the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT). Gearing up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Stars and Stripes hosted Guatemala in a World Cup Qualifying (WCQ) game in Columbus, just four days after they will play against Guatemala on their turf. The reason Columbus is hosting the game is simple- MAPFRE Stadium has been a fortress. Since opening in 1999, the stadium has hosted 10 games for the USMNT, and the team is 7-0-3. In strictly competitive games, the record is just as good at 6-0-2. Not only has the USMNT never lost in Columbus, only one team has even scored a goal there (Jamaica in a WCQ in 2004). Typically, MAPFRE Stadium has hosted a third round WCQ as preparation for the big fishplaying Mexico. The USMNT has won all four games against their main rival at MAPFRE, all by the infamous 2-0 score line, which has made “Dos A Cero” a chant that haunts El Tri fans. The first of those matches came in 2001, just a few months after the USMNT had held Costa Rica to a scoreless draw. The trend continued into 2005, 2009 and 2013, establishing a true path of dominance in between with shutout wins over Grenada and Jamaica in WCQ in 2004 and 2012. Catching back up to present day, the USMNT is currently tied atop Group C of CONCACAF with Trinidad and Tobago. Each team has one win and one draw, and two victories over Guatemala could be enough to clinch a spot in the next round of qualifiers. Advancing is of vital importance, as teams must move through their own regional divisions before making it to the World Cup.

Scarlet and T Grey Sports Radio gives real world experience Written by Michael Mckelvey
16
1870 MAGAZiNE • April 2016 • 1870NOW.COM
here are hundreds of clubs and student organizations at Ohio State but very few of those organizations will punch your ticket to just about any OSU athletic event. Scarlet and Grey Sports Radio, however, is one that will. SGSR is a student run organization that does live Internet sports broadcasting. Students involved in the organization have opportunities to cover events from all of OSU’s varsity athletic programs, including some of the big OSU sports such as football and basketball. Geoff Hammersley is a fourth-year strategic communication major and is the president of SGSR. He has been involved with the program since his first year at OSU when he discovered the organization as a happy accident during the involvement fair. “In the four years I’ve been a part [of SGSR], I got an internship with Big Ten Network under their Student U stuff. I do some of the Ohio State women’s basketball games, so, I got all these experiences through the student radio,” said Hammersley. His time in broadcasting has also helped him segue into being able to expand his talents and write sports pieces, as well. SGSR doesn’t just broadcast games from OSU, they also get the opportunity to travel and cover larger events, such as the 2014 National Championship game. Ryan Reese graduated in December with a degree in communication and did a live broadcast of the championship game. “It was once in a lifetime. The theatrics were awesome and pageantry of it made it so special,” said Reese.
“It was once in a lifetime. The theatrics were awesome and pageantry of it made it so special.”
Reese plans to continue along in the field of media and believes that SGSR and the experience that it provided has helped to prepare him for post grad life. While both Hammersley and Reese admit they hadn’t gone looking for SGSR, they were both appreciative of the time they have spent and the opportunities the organization has provided for them as members of SGSR also get the opportunity to broadcast their own radio shows and talk about other issues in sports, whether they relate to Ohio State or not. While everyone that graduates from OSU will have plenty of experience in the classroom, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to pick up as much practical, real world experience as you can. For those interested in careers in, not only broadcasting, but media production in general, Scarlet and Grey Sports Radio is a great way to get started.

OPINIONS:
“What College Can’t Do for you” Written by Chrislyn Koch Photographed by Alex Jones
It’s easy to spend your college years focusing on college alone and all it has to offer. But, taking a step back from campus and the vortex that it sometimes is, is vital because the real world has an even bigger bucket list than your college one.
While getting coffee with my cousin Alyssa, a fellow fourth year at OSU, we sat down in the crowded shop as she drove the conversation. "Chrissy, you were so right," she began and clearly my ears perked up with such heavenly words spoken. Of course I am but about what, I thought. “Working off campus is one of the best things I’ve done while in college. It’s great being around more than just students all the time,” she continued as I vigorously nodded my head in understanding, spilling some coffee on myself in the process. Building a campus community is important, probably even vital, for collegiate success. However, since sophomore year I’ve worked off campus, finding this essential for my mental sanity. It’s easy once you’ve developed strong campus ties to revolve your world around your college world and let the rest fall away. But, forgetting there are people and things outside of this 50,000-student campus could be dangerous and even suffocating. My freshman year, I craved seeing an elderly couple or small children to balance out my interactions with primarily teens and twenty-something’s. I welcomed strange conversations with odd bus-goers for the rare connection with the outside world. I marveled at the diversity of the people I saw when I’d go back home for a weekend here or there. (Perhaps you can tell a hobby of mine is people watching.) There was no better description for it than feeling off balance. For me, maintaining my connection with the world outside of Ohio State meant taking a job at a coffee shop in Gahanna. My coworkers

vary in age from their mid-teens to their early-sixties. Our customers vary in age even more. They’ve all lived layers of life that I hadn’t even known existed. Many of them are parents, several are single parents. A few have lived in more cities than I’ve ever visited before. Some have graduated college and others never thought to apply. One invited me to go prom dress shopping with her; another invited me to her son’s fifth birthday at Magic Mountian. I’ve found myself in discussions on religion, politics and the meaning of art as well as transcendent comedians, dating advice and divorce warnings, and whose grandma’s are THOTs. It’s easy to spend your college years focusing on college alone and all it has to offer. But, taking a step back from campus and the vortex that it sometimes is, is vital. The real world has an even bigger bucket list than your college one. And the real world’s bucket list is one you certainly won’t finish. Yet you can find some people who’ve checked items off their lists you haven’t, sharing mesmerizing stories and enlightening advice. For me, maintaining my connection with the world outside of OSU meant taking a job in a different town. For my cousin, it meant a job at a children’s store at Easton. For others, it may be a job somewhere else or a weekly volunteering experience or a hobby that gets you mingling with the Columbus community. Whichever you choose, it’s important to realize that the world is bigger than this college campus.

fter watching our sister publication, (614) Magazine, run their ColumBest contest annually, last year, UWeekly decided to get in on the fun for the first time. This year, 1870 Magazine is happy to continue on the tradition and bring you the results of the second annual Best of Campus voting. With 68 categories and over 36,700 votes, we’ve got it all covered. From Best Boozy Brunch to Best OSU Professor, here are a few of the Buckeyes' favorite things.
Best Bar Food, Best Trivia Night, Best Campus Bar
Ethyl & Tank Ethyl & Tank opened at 13th and Pearl two short years ago, but it’s definitely left its mark on campus in the months since then. When construction began, Ethyl was a bar many of us so badly wanted to be good — in the block of loud, sticky bars like Midway, Big Bar and Formaggio’s, Ethyl offered an opportunity for a bar where people could actually hang out in with their friends, and even hold a casual conversation. And boy did it deliver. Ethyl & Tank was named Best Bar Food, Best Trivia Night and Best Campus Bar by 1870 readers. If you haven’t tried Ethyl’s brunch or happy hour yet, honestly I don’t know what you’re waiting for. When morning rolls around and your hangover headache starts setting in, it’s time for Ethyl brunch. Beyond the traditional pancakes and breakfast burrito, their brunch menu includes monster burgers (the pulled pork on a patty with crispy onion straws and cheddar cheese is a personal favorite) that’ll nip that hangover right in the bud. Ready to start all over again? Ethyl has you covered with mimosas and a Bloody Mary bar, which is just as awesome as it sounds. But Ethyl eating isn’t just for whatever time you can roll yourself out of bed on the weekends, its food is good at any time of day. From brown bag snacks like spicy tank chips and an appetizer menu that includes buffalo chicken dip to a wide variety of tacos, wings and sandwiches, Ethyl has something for everyone. When Tuesday night trivia rolls around, die-hards get to Ethyl early and tables fill up fast. Trivia at Ethyl is Jeopardy-style, where clues appear on the TV screens and each team gets a buzzer to hopefully press first and yell out the right answer.
The winner of each round (there are usually five each night) receives a $10 bar tab, and since no team can win back-to-back games, your odds are good (even if you’re not good). One of the best parts of this trivia night is participating teams can enter suggestions for the following week’s categories, and player-generated categories can range from obscure to hilarious. All around, it’s no wonder our readers bestowed this award on Ethyl & Tank’s trivia night. The title of Best Campus Bar is also well-earned. Students love Ethyl & Tank because it has something for everyone. It’s a bar where alumni don’t feel awkward and out of place. Fratstars in pastel button-downs mingle with hipsters and video game lovers. Want to go out in leggings and a T-shirt? Ethyl accepts you. Still dressed up from a date party? Somehow you fit in, too. Even when your friends are ready to rally and you’re just not feeling it, Ethyl is still an appealing option. It has the perfect patio for warm-weather happy hours. Upstairs is a big table perfect for large groups and college-friend reunions. They have arcade games, two bars (sometimes three, when the upstairs bar is open), serve coffee for the sleepy student and have two sets of bathrooms. Anyone who’s waited in a line for the O Patio bathroom knows that’s huge. Yes, Ethyl gets crowded, but what campus bar doesn’t? The crowd is still less pushy and disgusting than the crowds at most campus bars, so the mass of people is somehow more tolerable. Ethyl & Tank accomplishes what every good campus bar should: It’s well-rounded and appeals to just about everyone. In a university district full of Big Bars, thank goodness for Ethyl & Tank.
best hangover breakfast, boozy brunch
best Donuts
Hangover Easy Hangover Easy began making a name for themselves as the best hangover breakfast on campus when the restaurant's name changed from Nick’s Diner to Hangover Easy to appeal to more students. Looks like the change worked in their favor, because Hangover Easy was voted Best Hangover Breakfast and Best Boozy Brunch yet again! The Hangover Easy menu is complete with anything and everything a hungover college student could want. Create your own omelettes, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, chicken ‘n’ waffles, burgers and unique skillets. A favorite among my roommates is the Dirty Sanchez burrito. Scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, hoe fries (those delicious squared breakfast potatoes), all wrapped up in a tortilla and covered - no, smothered- in queso cheese, salsa, sour cream and cheddar cheese. It’s everything you could want in a breakfast burrito and so much more. Top off your breakfast with a mimosa, screwdriver or Bloody Mary. Or, really, any kind of alcohol you want with their full bar at your service. Cheers to you, Hangover Easy.

Buckeye Donuts Buckeye Donuts has been a campus staple for almost 50 years now. Forty-seven to be exact. The 32 varieties of hand cut and hand glazed donuts are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We donut know how they do it, but we are very happy they do. Regular donuts include the classic glazed, chocolate, buttermilk, blueberry, peanut, coconut, German chocolate, vanilla cream filled, jelly filled, lemon filled and powdered sugar, all for 99 cents. Become a real big spender and try one of their fancy donuts like the maple bismark, bow ties or, the classic, buckeye donut with chocolate frosting and peanut butter in the middle. Buckeye Donuts also has PSD (Pumpkin Spice Donuts) in the fall to go with your PSL’s that never disappoint. In addition to donuts, they offer one of the best gyros on campus. Maybe next year we’ll add a “best gyro” category...until then, we’re off to feast on some donuts.
best HIDDen gem
Katalina's Katalina’s slogan, “The little cafe with lots of local goodness” doesn’t lie. Located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and West 3rd Avenue, Katalina’s used to be a gas station. The space is small and quaint and it’s the perfect place to have brunch on a nice day, as their patio has more seating than the inside. Katalina’s has a full menu complete with soup, salad, breakfast and sides. Their tacos are one of their most popular items with various options like black bean, pulled pork, homemade chorizo and their award winning breakfast tacos. Arguably their most popular item on the menu are their Pancake Balls. Cue the mouth-watering. The Pancake Balls can be filled with Nutella, dulce de leche or pumpkin-apple butter and are topped with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They come with maple syrup and bacon or veggie sausage if you want to make your meal vegetarian. Speaking of vegetarian, most of their menu can be made into vegetarian dishes and some are available as vegan options, as well.
WITH DRAFTS STARTING AS LOW AS $1 AND APPETIZERS FROM $2 – $8 YOU WON’T HAVE TO HIT THE ATM TO HIT UP OUR HAPPY HOUR! Monday - Friday from 3 - 6 p.m.
Open Daily for Lunch & Dinner! www.PIESandPINTS.net
BEST PIZZA
Adriatico's New York Style Pizza Conveniently located at 265 W. 11th Ave., Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza has been serving the campus community for decades. Unlike most local and chain pizza shops, Adriatico’s offers a unique style crust that really isn’t anything like New York style pizza. Their regular crust is thick compared to most and the layer of cheese doesn’t disappoint. Their toppings are cut fresh for each custom ‘za ordered which means you might wait a little longer than you would for Papa John’s, but trust us, it’s worth the wait. Their square cut pizzas have won them various awards in the community over the years and they have made sure to keep specials throughout the week. On Sunday, students can receive 20 percent off of their order if they pay using BuckID. On Monday and Tuesday, they have special prices for cheese pizzas; a medium is $7.95, a large is $12.95 and a Buckeye pizza is $24.95. (Additional toppings are extra.) Haven’t heard of the Buckeye pizza? You haven’t lived. The Buckeye pizza is huge. A whopping 18 by 24 inch pizza has 30 slices and is enough to feed 10 to 12 people. Or enough to feed yourself for a week. We’ll let you decide.

BEST FOOD TRUCK
Mikey's
Late Night Slice As their website says, Mikey’s Late Night Slice filled the “pizza shaped hole in the heart of downtown Columbus.” And we are so happy they did. The creator, Mikey Sorboro, now has a total of five locations and three food trucks that they park around Columbus (usually there’s one around the corner from Pint House in the Short North on weekends). Besides serving the traditional cheese, pepperoni and mushroom, they also have pizza of the week options. LNS also recently paired up with Columbus’ Hot Chicken Takeover, located in North Market, to create the Hot Mikey’s Takeover pizza complete with fried chicken and pickles on top. Yes, please. We’ll take two. Two whole pizzas.
BEST asian
Tai's Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar Best known for giving you enough food to last you through the week, Tai’s Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar is the epitome of perfect asian takeout (or dine-in). The owners of Tai’s actually met while working at a well-liked Asian restaurant called Kahiki which closed in 2000. They have since carried on the tradition and now create some delicious Asian dishes for the Columbus community. They have traditional appetizers like lettuce wraps, crab rangoon, soup and egg rolls. They have salads and mouthwatering noodle dishes like the dan dan noodle bowl which comes with chiliserved garlic soy, chicken, scallions, bean sprouts, cucumber and egg noodles. Tai’s offers many more favorites like cashew chicken, szechuan beef and orange chicken, as well. Their sushi bar has a wide variety of options for those adventurous sushi lovers and those who enjoy the simple things like the California roll. Tai’s made sure to dedicate some of their specialty rolls to Columbus. Their Blue Jacket roll is an eel roll topped with yellowtail, torched and sprinkled with tobiko and their Lane Avenue roll is a spicy tuna roll topped with avocado in tempura batter with eel sauce on top.
BEST sandwich
Melt Bar & Grill Melt Bar and Grill’s Columbus shop opened about three years ago in the Short North and has been melting hearts and heartburn tablets ever since. Melt offers insanely large sandwiches that truly prove your eyes are much bigger than your stomach. Their classics will make you question every classic grilled cheese you’ve ever had. Take their classic mighty macaroni for example. In between two thick pieces of Texas toast (basically) there’s creamy mac 'n' cheese that’s been deep fried and topped with cheddar cheese sauce and your choice of more cheese. Sweet Cheesus. They also offer chicken, pork and beef options, most of which can be made into vegan and vegetarian options. The summer chicken sandwich comes with grilled chicken, tomato basil relish, baby spinach, Muenster cheese and a garlic herb vinaigrette. It sounds light, but it’s a lot to take in. Luckily, sandwiches are available as a half or a whole.

BEST ice cream
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams opened in 2002 in the North Market by Jeni Britton Bauer, who formerly studied at Ohio State. Since its start, Jeni’s has become a local and national favorite because of their creative and really delicious flavors. The shop has been featured on the Food Network, Time Magazine, The New York Times and The Washington Post. About two years ago, Jeni’s overcame a hurdle when they discovered listeria in their product. They recalled every single one of their products and were unsure what the future would hold for them. Thankfully, after subsequent changes to their production kitchen, Jeni’s is back in full force. One of their newest flavors is the Intelligentsia Black Cat Espresso made of espresso beans steeped in cream. It’s sweet with just the right amount of coffee bean taste. I had it last week with a scoop of their Pralines & Cream flavor and it tasted like a Starbucks Chestnut Praline latte. Better than a Starbucks Chestnut Praline latte, honestly.
BEST newcomer, best dance club
BEST dive, best bartending crew
Bullwinkles
Too's
Bullwinkles didn’t slide nonchalantly onto campus — it burst onto campus. The nightclub opened its doors last July, and has since been a host to plenty of dollar bomb nights college students live for. When Charlie Bear left campus about three years ago, a hole appeared in campus nightlife that was just waiting for Bullwinkles to come fill it. Our readers named Bullwinkles Best Newcomer and Best Dance Club — and really, who else could’ve won? Bullwinkles is everything you could want in a dance club on a college campus. It’s incredibly large on the inside, has two long bars and plenty of bartenders, it’s dark, it’s loud, it has a smoke machine… It has a line that wraps around the building that requires police officers to help maintain, and, somehow, your drunk roommate can always convince you to wait in it, promising to buy you a tray of bombs once you get inside. Even if your drunk roommate doesn’t deliver, Bullwinkles is hard to hate. Campus was seriously lacking a place to dance with enough room that you don’t have to bump against sweaty strangers unless you want to. For new bars to stay great, it has to fill a niche once the “newness” wears off. Bullwinkles certainly does that (I mean, it’s a night club that also has pizza by the slice), and it has absolutely made a name for itself in the nearly nine months since it first opened. Book your TGs, rent it out for your birthday and admit you love Bullwinkles.
None of us are ready to let go of Too’s yet. Too’s is the friendliest bar on campus, with a hometown vibe that makes you feel like family. Too’s is the hole-in-the-ground bar where you go with your closest friends, hope a booth opens up, slap your beer label on the wall and sing along to Jon White’s renditions of all your favorite songs. And so, it’s only right that Too’s was named Best Dive Bar and Best Bartending Crew by our readers. Owner Scott Ellsworth is proud of those titles, and extends that family feeling his bar creates to his staff. “My thoughts on our staff winning best crew is pretty simple,” he said. “We are the best bar on campus, with the best musicians and the best regulars, so it only makes sense they'd win best crew. Our bar isn't shit without them and, no offense to other staffs on campus, but my guys piss awesomeness. I'm just happy that the campus community voted for them TOO years in a row and clearly know something we've always known.” He acknowledged his swelling pride with, “If you expected a humble acceptance, you don't know Too's!” Those regulars Ellsworth enjoys so much don’t even want to talk about the day Too’s will leave campus, but we are getting everything out of the bar while we can. If you’ve yet to visit Too’s for $1 domestic bottles on a Toosday, or surprise someone with a tidal wave shot, or dance on the pool table (only to be told to read the sign and stay off the pool table), you’re missing too much.

Best Karaoke Night
Fourth Street Fourth Street is such a hidden gem to many students, which it gets away with by being tucked away off High Street’s main strip of bars. Our readers took notice, though, naming it Best Karaoke Night in our Best of Campus roundup. Every Wednesday night, which is a notoriously terrible night for going out on campus, due in part to lack of bar specials that are tolerable (no, liquid dope doesn’t count), Fourth Street in the undeniable right choice. Not only does it boast $2 wells and bombs, typically with beer specials, too, but Fourth Street’s karaoke night is a good time for all involved. Want to get drunk and channel your inner Britney Spears? Fourth Street. Want to get drunk and watch strangers belt out the classics? Fourth Street. Unless sitting back soberly and judging everyone is your thing, everyone has a good time at Fourth Street karaoke night. If you haven’t made the trek up to Fourth Street (seriously, it’s not that far), do so as soon as possible. With the weather warming up, you’ll come for the patio and stay for the chance to blow off some steam onstage every Wednesday night.
best sports bar, best game day bar
Chumley's If you don’t have tickets to the game, Chumley’s is the place you’ll want to park yourself for the night. That’s why it’s no surprise our readers named it Best Sports Bar and Best Game Day Bar. The atmosphere at Chumley’s during any big game — Ohio State or Cleveland sports, especially — is unreal. The entire bar seems to hang on to every play, celebrating the touchdowns together, yelling belligerently together at the bad calls and mourning the losses or toasting the wins. We sing Carmen Ohio, play drinking games, shout just as loud as we would from the stands and don’t miss a play. That community rivals being courtside or watching a game in Ohio Stadium. Yes, those arguably are the best way to catch the action, but Chumley’s has beer, a controlled climate and all of your closest friends in one place. For many, it’s the better choice. The trick to watching a game at Chumley’s is timing — you better get there early or give up your plans. For the Sugar Bowl and National Championship last year, my friends and I secured a table about four hours before kickoff. Does that seem excessive? Not when waiting means you’ll be shut out and forced to watch from somewhere else. Plus, Chumley’s has app-y hour, where all appetizers are half off until 7 p.m. Dinner is served. Occasionally, the stars align and the holy grail of nights appears. A major game coincides with a Monday or Thursday schooner night. When that happens, drop whatever you’re doing, grab your schooner and pretty much flee to Chum’s.
BEST live music venue

BEST DJ
Skully's A beautiful thing about Columbus is its options for live music — the University District, Short North, Clintonville and Arena District are all bustling with places to take in just about any kind of concert. Our readers’ choice for the Best Live Music Venue, though, was Skully’s Music-Diner. Owner Earl “Skully” Webb is grateful for the win, saying, “Thanks OSU students for making Skully's your No. 1 choice for live music. And remember: It's not a party without you!” Skully’s is a party every night of the week, with Ladies ‘80s on Thursday nights and shows across genres most other nights. Some nights it’s even double-booked for double the music, with both an early and late show for crowds to enjoy. If you’re planning to attend a show at this legendary music hall, be sure to heed the other part of its name and come early for the diner. On most days, the bar and kitchen are open all day, which adds a layer of appeal that most other music venues can’t compete with, as you can get dinner and catch a show without stepping outside. Skully’s is in the Short North, but close enough to campus to walk, weather permitting, and brings such a great mix of local, popular and undiscovered acts to town. Visit their website for a schedule of upcoming events, and plan a trip their way soon.
Union
For many in Columbus, the Thursday night (or any night, really) move isn’t on campus — it’s Union. The bar and restaurant, located in the Short North at the corner of High Street and Hull Alley, Union earned the title of Best LGBTQ Bar by our readers. Union is versatile, with a killer brunch on the weekends, amazing food all week and a transformation into a thriving bar and dance club at night. Come for the Thursday night $3 Long Islands and literally never leave because the drinks are strong, the vibe is friendly and the music is perfect. Union is laid-back, dotted with plenty of tables and booths throughout, but also has a dance floor and stage in the back and a long bar with accessible service. Union gives off the vibe that anyone can come as they are, the people are friendly and you can be as outgoing or introverted as you please. Columbus’ beloved drag queen Nina West makes frequent appearances and Union hosts drag shows as well. For a come-as-you-are, dance until the bar closes night where you can have a conversation with your friends or make new ones, Union is always the move.
Pint House Sometimes, campus bars just don’t cut it, and you need to leave the comfort of the University District for something new. Pint House was voted Best Off-Campus Bar by our readers, making it the top place to get away from campus. Pint House is great because it’s a little more upscale than bars on campus, but it’s still casual enough that undergrads don’t feel out of place. It gets as crowded as the O Patio on weekends, but that’s just because it appeals to so many people. For a great selection of drafts and awesome bar food, Pint House is definitely the move when going out in the Short North. Located next to other Best of Campus winner Union Cafe, Pint House also has a fantastic brunch on the weekends and other food specials all week long. The beer garden has more than 75 beers, which means there’s something for every drinker. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., with half off select drafts and food items. The beauty of the Short North weekday happy hour is many of its patrons are still working until at least 5 p.m., so students have an edge on getting a good table if their classes end early. If you have yet to venture off campus on the weekend and don’t know where to start, Pint House is a perfect place to start. It has a casual vibe, reasonable prices — and did I mention the food? Seriously, the food is top-notch. Hop on a COTA bus, call an Uber, get off campus and grab a drink at Pint House.
DJ Chang
Chang-Min Song, best known on campus as DJ Chang, started DJing in 2008 in Toronto, Canada. A Cleveland native, DJ Chang came to Columbus when he became a student at Ohio State and now DJ's just about everywhere: Midway, Bullwinkles, Park Street and just about every Greek Life event that takes place. Including, his very own #ChangFest that he throws on occasional Saturday nights downtown. "I like to throw events just for the sake of throwing events," he said. "Same," said the OSU community.

BEST happy hour
Ugly Tuna On first mention, Ugly Tuna’s Ugly Hour seems too good to be true: $1 wells, Long Islands and Bud Light drafts, just about every night, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. But it is true, and it earned Ugly Tuna a spot in our Best of Campus awards for Best Happy Hour. Owner John Votino called the win “awesome news.” “At the end of the day, Ugly Tuna is a campus tradition and has had so many students experience great times,” Votino said. “The location in the Gateway is starting to bring back more students with the new construction going on and also the addition of World of Beer opening and the movie theater holding special events.” He said Ugly Tuna is going through a transition: adding three 70-inch high-definition TVs, a new bar design painted to give it a “Florida feel” and soon, a beach scene mural on the entrance wall. Without any additions, though, Ugly Hour is already the ultimate pregame — you’ll probably end up spending less than you would have spent to buy alcohol to drink at home. And it’s the best reason to get your night started early. If you’re the type to get frustrated waiting for your friends who aren’t ready to go out until close to midnight, tempt them with Ugly Hour to get them moving. Ugly Tuna’s atmosphere adds to the reasons to head to Ugly Hour on any given night. The walls are lined with TVs to catch a game, occasionally there’s live music and on warmer days, enjoy the patio with a view onto High Street for people watching. Plus, for the older drinkers, Ugly Tuna’s bouncers are a little better at spotting freshmen’s fake IDs, thinning the crowd a bit. In a time of your life when your bank account tends not to be your friend and drink specials are a key to a good night out, Ugly Hour is the perfect gift to all of Ohio State’s drinkers.

Alpha Phi (PHA)
Alpha Kappa Alpha (NPHC)
Alpha Phi, pronounced “Fee” not “Fye,” came to Ohio State’s campus in 1912 and is now one of 164 Alpha Phi chapters across the country. “Alpha Phi aids in the development of each member by promoting sisterhood, service, scholarship, leadership, loyalty and character development,” said chapter president and OSU student, Madison Nye. Each sorority in the Interfraternity Council (IFC) at OSU has their own unique philanthropy. Alpha Phi’s supports The Alpha Phi Foundation which grants scholarships and supports women’s cardiac care and research. Last year they raised $15,000 from about four different fundraising events and the women in Alpha Phi also make it a point to support other sorority and fraternity philanthropy campaigns, as well, said Nye. Alpha Phi’s symbol is the ivy leaf, hence their catchy slogan on social media #EnvyTheIvy. Hey, every great sorority has to have a great hashtag, right? To get involved, make sure to check out IFC’s sorority recruitment.
Pi Delta Psi (MCGC) The Mu Chapter of Pi Delta Psi was founded at Ohio State in 2000. “Pi Delta Psi is an Asian-Interest, yet not Asian exclusive fraternity,” explained their current president, Aaron Lam, and their future president, Tony Nguyen, in an email. “Our goal is to grow and build young men into campus leaders and beyond through our four pillars: academic achievement, cultural awareness, righteousness and friendship/loyalty.” The two men explained that Pi Delta Psi is unique in the fact that the brothers are genuinely close, reffering to members of the organization as family. They believe this closeness within the fraternity promotes a “dedicated work ethic” that, in turn, makes them the best fraternity in the Multicultural Greek Council. “We live and breathe Pi Delta Psi, striving to better ourselves every day,” Lam and Nguyen said. “Pi Delta Psi is successful because of the brothers who work towards becoming better leaders and role models within the community.”

BEST student organization
Founded in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha is the first African American Greek organization for college women. “Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded on the basis of cultivating and maintaining high scholastic and ethical standards, promoting unity and friendship among college women, studying and alleviating problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their social stature, maintaining a progressive interest in college life, and being of service to ALL mankind,” their website says. The Theta Chapter at Ohio State began in 1921 with only five women and the group has continued to grow and flourish on campus ever since. Each spring, all chapters in the National Pan-Hellenic Council take part in a Step Show and Alpha Kappa Alpha also recently held a drive in the Union to help aid the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. It’s no wonder these women were voted number one.
Ohio State’s Phi Kappa Psi chapter is the longest running chapter on campus to date. Chartered in 1880, they have quite a few alumni names you might recognize: Wendell Postle (Postel Hall), James Seibert (Seibert Hall) and James Thurber (Thurber Library, Theater and House). These days, Phi Psi is probably best known for their social events. They have a Football Block party before each game that looks like something out of the movies, complete with walls of beer cases and beer showers. “I feel like people hear about the social aspect of our house as a strength. I’d attribute that to just having a lot of creative and talented individuals who are willing to put in a lot of work to make the best events possible,” President Adam Steinle said. “Same goes for philanthropy events.” In addition to their social and philanthropy events, Steinle says one of the things that makes Phi Psi the best fraternity in Ohio State’s Interfraternity Council is their individuality. “We don’t really have a consistent look, brother-to-brother. It’s kind of just a collage of different styles, backgrounds and personalities,” he said. “We just look for guys that are passionate about what they do.” To join Phi Kappa Psi, students can contact their Rush Chairs or check their Facebook page, “Phi Kappa Psi - The Ohio State University (OH Delta).”
Block O is the definition of school spirit. Block O started in 1938 by Ohio State’s head cheerleader, Clancy A. Isaac Jr., with the purpose of creating pictures and encouraging words in the stands with plastic cards. Welp, looks like things haven’t changed too much! Truthfully, the group has undergone some major changes. They moved from the 20 yard line to their place now in the North end of Ohio Stadium and they also used to be an “all-male cheering section.” Technology also changed the way Block O runs, as each plastic card used to be made by hand by the Stunt Coordinator who had to start creating each card during the summer in order to have them all done in time for football season. But, Block O isn’t just around to support football. They also support basketball, soccer, volleyball and baseball to name a few. So, what really makes it the Best Student Organization on campus? The Block O President, Isaac Oyer, explained: “Block O really embodies what it means to be a Buckeye and to have Buckeye spirit,” he said. “The people in this organization are really passionate about, not only sports, but the whole university.” To get involved, you can either buy specific Block O football tickets or contact an Executive Board Officer by emailing blocko@osu.edu. Membership is $20 per school year and is included in the Block O football ticket package.

BEST service Fraternity
Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed community service fraternity which was founded in 1925. “In the Alpha Iota Chapter at The Ohio State University, we work to better ourselves, our friends and families, and our communities,” their website says. The main goal of the fraternity is to organize opportunities for members to participate in community service, develop leadership skills and provide social opportunities. They have chapters around the country and around the world, with some in Australia and the Phillipines. Ohio State’s chapter was founded in 1934 and, each year, gets to ring the Victory Bell following a win in the Shoe. To check out a calendar of events or to find more information on how to join, check out apoonline.org/alphaiota.
BEST Professor
Dr, Christopher Callam OSU Chem Professor As a chemistry professor at Ohio State, a.k.a. a professor of a subject that many people absolutely despise, it’s safe to say that Dr. Callam is passionate about his craft. “I wanted to become a professor for several reasons. First, I wanted a career that would allow for continued learning and development of ideas. Second, I wanted a career that would allow me to inspire people to learn more about ideas that will shape our future and help students become great problem solvers,” Callam said. “There is no greater feeling than to see some gain a level of understanding on a topic that once viewed as difficult.” Callam also said he thinks students have enjoyed his classes enough to vote him Best Professor because he challenges them to try the harder problems while making sure to provide them with the resources they need to be successful. “I am a believer that the teacher must serve a number of roles: a leader, a presenter of challenges, an inspiration for learning and an encourager for development of ideas,” he said. When asked if he had any advice for students currently struggling through science classes, Callam said to make sure to practice, be patient and remember that it will take some time for you to develop the skills you need. We so appreciate professors like you, Dr. Callam.
Ezekiel Elliott • Is anyone surprised that Zeke nabbed the title of Best Male Athlete? We sure aren’t. In his three years as a running back for the Ohio State football team, Ezekiel Elliott made quite a name for himself. And while he decided to forgo his final season to enter the NFL draft, we still love him. Let’s look back on some of his career highlights: Elliott was named Offensive MVP in both the Sugar Bowl against Alabama and National Championship against Oregon during the 2014 season. He was also named Offensive Player of the Game in the Sugar Bowl. In that magical 2014 season, his first as a starter after playing backup to Carlos Hyde as a freshman, Elliott was named Academic All-Big Ten Conference. He has multiple Big Ten Player of the Week wins under his belt, as well as several other titles. He rushed for more than 100 yards in a total of 22 games, with his career total reaching nearly 4,000 yards. Elliott is predicted to be a top-10 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft at the end of April. Talk is swirling online about the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears possibly drafting him, but time will tell what new jersey we’ll have to pick up for the 2016 season. And, of course, he started a crop top revolution with his abs. We’ll miss you, Zeke.
BEST male Athlete
Cait Craft • At a school with so many fiercely talented athletes, Cait Craft of the Ohio State women’s basketball team rises to the top of the pack. Our readers named the senior guard Best Female Athlete in our Best of Campus awards. While she just recently suffered a broken hand that has her out for the remainder NCAA tournament, Craft has truly been a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court during her four years at OSU. Let’s relive some of her career highlights: She’s been starting consistently since her sophomore year, and started one game as a freshman. Craft is a team captain this season, and has appeared in 32 of the 33 games the team has played this season, averaging 4.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per game. She currently ranks second on the team for steals with 46, definitely playing a pivotal role in in getting the Buckeyes into the NCAA tournament at a No. 3 seed. Last season she averaged 7.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, and made 55 steals, again placing her second on the team. She was named a candidate for the 2016 Senior CLASS Award, which is given on the basis of achievement in community, classroom, character and competition. Craft was also named Academic All-Big Ten for the winter of 2016. While the Buckeyes will miss her on the court for the remainder of their playoff run, Craft has been a true asset to Ohio State sports.

1870 MAGAZiNE • April 2016 • 1870NOW.COM
It’s finally time to leave your winter coats in your closet and break out your short sleeves and ripped light wash jeans. Springtime is here! With the changing of seasons comes the changing of fashion and 1870 has you covered. Check out what styles you should look out for this year.
Trending now: Spring is in Off the shoulder tops
Yep, what goes around comes back around. Shoulders are back in this spring, not in the form of tube tops, though. Thankfully. This season’s off the shoulder tops are more boho chic than ever, with lace options and linen-like materials to make your outfit comfy and casual with the option to take it up a notch by including some simple jewelry. Off the shoulder tops are a way to show some skin but in a cute and not-too-revealing way.
Lace-up shoes
Whether they’re sandals flats, or wedges, lace-up is in. Put those lace-up bodysuits away for the spring and switch that style to footwear. Delicate and thin laces won’t cut off your leg line and will create another accessory to any outfit, whether you decide to lace your shoes up to your calf or keep the lace at your ankle line. Pair with a t-shirt dress and you’re good to go for a casual night out!
high neck bikinis
Say goodbye to triangle bikini tops and say hello to a more modern and classic look. A high neck bikini top can range from sporty to boho crochet, an ongoing theme of spring style this year. Patterned and bold color options will make you stand out at the pool this summer but you can never go wrong with a classic scalloped-hem black bikini. Make sure to switch on and off from your favorite high neck bathing suit, though, as it can cause some funky tan lines.
Bomber jackets
The retro look is still in, guys. Bomber jackets were popular in the 1950s and now are becoming a clothing staple. Mostly available in dark neutral colors, they can dress up any t-shirt and jeans. Complete your look with fitted jeans and your choice of a colored crew neck graphic tee.
shorter shorts
I guess frat guys are ahead of the fashion trends this year? Shorts that hit in the middle of your thigh are in this year. Make a bold statement with a fun print or stick with neutrals like a classic navy blue. Pair with a button down and you’re good to go. P.S. shorter shorts means you should probably not skip leg day this week.
fifty shades of green
Green is pretty popular year round but, this spring, green is really blooming (excuse the springtime pun). Bright greens and more subtle tones like army green are taking center stage. Make your transition to green an easy one by choosing green accessories such as ties, bags or watches. Then move on to bigger pieces like jackets and pants. The pop of color in your wardrobe won’t go unappreciated.
Before you go out and buy an entire new wardrobe, make sure to do some springcleaning. April is the prime time to sell clothes to resale shops as they’re looking to change with the seasons, just like you.

Photography Enthusiast Society promotes creativity Freshman Jessica Hornish trudged away from the Oval feeling overwhelmed and defeated from the constant craze of undergraduate student organizations, passing out fliers and knick-knacks and encouraging students to sign up for their student organization over the hundreds of other competitors. On her way out of the whirlwind that is the Student Involvement Fair, Hornish happened upon the Photography Enthusiast Society (PES) booth. “[I felt] so fortunate that happened, because I’ve made a ton of great friends through the organization over the past four years,” she said. The Photography Enthusiast Society is “for students interested in photography who want to share their experience and knowledge about photography with others,” recounts their mission statement. “At the same time, this organization will create new ways for members to learn more about photography and gain experience in photography,” it continues. PES enacts their mission through bi-weekly meetings and monthly socials. Meetings generally involve a visiting professional photographer who discusses their field of work, which can be anything from wed-

ding to sports photography. Likewise, social events vary anywhere from camping in Hocking Hills to trips to the Short North Gallery Hop. Hornish, now a fourth year and the current Photography Enthusiast Society president, says her favorite PES memory from this past year has been their fall camping trip. “We’ve been camping as a photography and team building retreat for the past two years now,” said Hornish. “There is nothing like great photos and having to build a fire to really bring a group together.” The organization’s biggest annual event is their Spring Gallery where PES members may showcase their work to the public. This year’s gallery, “Framed” will be held in the Ohio Union’s Ohio Stater’s Traditions Room on April 2 from 1 to 5 p.m. Individuals interested in learning more about the Photography Enthusiast Society may also visit their remaining general member meetings on April 7 and April 21 at 7 p.m. in the Ohio Union. If you can’t make these dates, be sure to keep an eye out for them at the Student Involvement Fair next fall.
Off the Lake, Into the Theatre Musical theatre group gives back to community Written by Chrislyn Koch
There’s not much one can buy for a dollar these days and generally, by rules of nature, the handful of things worth a dollar are shoddy and second-rate. This isn’t the case with seeing an Off the Lake performance where either a $1 bill or single canned good donation gains entrance to a musical theatre experience like no other. Off the Lake Productions (OTL) is an Ohio State non-profit student organization and theatre group, a seemingly unlikely but dynamic combination. “We don't just put on a show to put on a show. We put on a show to support our local community just as our community does so much for us,” said Adam Adams-Grooms, a fourth-year student and the organization’s current president. “OTLers” as OTL cast, crew and pit are nicknamed, often get caught up in the stress and pressure that comes with putting on a show. “But, it is absolutely amazing to watch our members become humbled when we reestablish our service goals,” said Adams-Grooms. This past year alone, OTL’s admission system raised $3,382.74 for A Kid Again, a local charity that provides support to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, as well as 1,270 pounds of non-perishable food items for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. Through the student organization’s mutual love of musical theatre and service, they’ve managed to utilize their theatre experience to give back to the local community. OTL hosted a “Fun Friday” event at the Columbus Public Library which created a theatre learning experience for youth interested in the arts, volunteered their dance experience at the local
Franklin County Recreation Center’s “Tear Up the Dance Floor” event for adults with developmental disabilities and performed everywhere from the Martin Janis Senior Center to A Kid Again’s holiday party. Because Off the Lake Productions is one of the six Involved Living organizations at Ohio State, OTL created a Peer Theatre program in the fall of 2013. The program was created to assist University Housing by offering a series of skits, written and performed by OTL members and centered around relevant topics for college students such as roommate conflict, the nine dimensions of wellness, diversity and inclusion. The free service, primarily used by Residence Life, is offered to all and serves as an opportunity for peer education to present relevant, timely information to all students. “Theatre should educate, move, relate, connect,” said Danny DiMarino, OTL’s 2014 director of “Pippin.” “Theatre for me is an important agent of social change, so it seems natural that many theatre persons are also invested in service and helping others. Service is an extension of the theatre we are already making,” DiMarino continued. OTL will hold their final show of the semester, a Senior Sendoff Cabaret, on April 16 in the Ohio Union US Bank Conference Theatre at 7 p.m. This cabaret is open to the public and serves as an opportunity for graduating members to sing solos while reflecting on their past years in OTL.
“We don't just put on a show to put on a show. We put on a show to support our local community just as our community does so much for us,”

Columbus Songwriters Association creates community for local artists
Columbus is a sweet spot for local musicians. While the music scene may not get the notoriety of Los Angeles or Nashville, one group is working to grow Columbus into a music city. The Columbus Songwriters Association is an organization whose mission is to create a community and provide opportunities for local songwriters. Cofounders Derek Dupont and Joey Hendrickson, both songwriters and OSU alumni, have worked to turn their passion for music into a business that ultimately supports the entire Columbus music scene. Members of CSA have the opportunity to take part in performances, events, panels and workshops to gain exposure and education, as well as increase their network within the music industry. CSA began in the summer of 2012 as an idea that sparked around the campfire at Hendrickson’s parent’s home. “It had been a really inspiring summer,” Hendrickson said. “[Derek and I] noticed all of these pockets in the music community. We wanted to bring people together to do something different. I

thought if we could just bring [musicians] together into a pool, we could get so many more opportunities together than we could alone.” The two pitched the idea to 20 songwriter friends and set up their first showcase performance at Mission Coffee Co. in October 2012. That night, all of the performers in attendance paid dues, becoming the first members of CSA. “At that point we knew that we were on to something,” Hendrickson said. “We could tell that this was something that people really wanted.” CSA’s membership has grown from 20 songwriters to more than 150 over the past three and half years. Notable members include Chris Jamison, a contestant on season seven of NBC’s “The Voice”; Chris Winter, who is currently opening for Brett Eldredge, and Kelly Zullo of Kelly Zullo & the Invisible Circus. In addition to monthly showcase performances, CSA hosts a year-end finale showcase competition.

This year, Barbara Cloyd of The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville who is a hit songwriter and songwriting coach, George Schwindt, the drummer of Flogging Molly and CEO of 26F Publishing in Los Angeles and Jerry DePizzo, a producer, songwriter and member of O.A.R., shared their expertise with the performing artists. The winner of the 2015 Finale Showcase was 13-year-old Maya Mougey. Whatever you are seeking as an independent artist, Dupont said CSA can cater to your interests and desires. “You can get as much out of (CSA) or as little out of it as you want,” Dupont said. “You can join and grow a huge network. You can join and have educational and performance opportunities. It’s a very personal organization. We love to talk to members and find out what they want to do so we can link them up with the right route to get to that specific dream.” Those dreams, Dupont said, can very well be made possible locally. “(Columbus) is very accessible,” Dupont said. “It’s an amazing place to make a name for

Huntertones Take OSU Roots Worldwide
O
Written by Jack Lynch
hio State-born band Huntertones are known for their accessible, high-energy, horn-driven approach to jazz, borrowing influences from rock, pop and R&B to create their signature sound. Formerly known as The Dan White Sextet, Huntertones take their name from Hunter Avenue on campus, where they played some of their first shows at local house parties. Though they’ve since moved to Brooklyn, they haven’t forgotten their Columbus roots. “When we moved to New York it wasn’t like, ‘Okay, we’re done with Ohio, we’re on to New York now,’” trombonist Chris Ott said. “It was part of the plan that this will always be our home base.” On the band’s self-titled EP, a certain carefree exuberance exists that reflects life in Columbus--a charming Midwest nice with tones of innocence and sincerity. “I think Columbus has a really great arts community and some really open-minded people who support arts. That’s not the case in a lot of places,” saxophonist Dan White said. “We didn’t have to conform to any

scene. People embraced our sound and supported it, and we were able to just grow naturally.” On tracks like upbeat album opener “Rumpus Time,” you can hear the influence of the OSU School of Music. The song’s catchy and hard-hitting intro cedes to a chorale (complete with a trombone countermelody), before TBDBITL alum Jon Lampley screams out a high note on the trumpet, easing the transition into an abrupt time signature change. The songwriting is carefully orchestrated, and the pre-planned structure serves as a nice contrast to the spontaneity of improvised sections, such as White’s punchy sax solo. However, White says that the move to Brooklyn changed the band’s attitude substantially. “Just moving to New York is, in itself, a financial shock. Especially when you don’t necessarily have a job,” White said. “It lit a fire under us to hustle harder.” After recruiting a few new members and playing gigs all around
“I think Columbus has a really great arts community and some really openminded people who support arts. That’s not the case in a lot of places...People embraced our sound and supported it, and we were able to just grow naturally.” New York, Huntertones resolved to take their sound around the world, and embarked on a tour through South America and Africa. “On a daily basis it was like an entire month of being out of your comfort zone,” White said. “But it was amazing, because the entire goal was sharing music with people from other cultures. If we were just standing in a room with them, we wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with them, but once we played our show, that’s when all the exchange actually happened.” Both White and Ott said they grew immensely from their experiences, and they’re using the trip as inspiration for new music they’re composing while back in Columbus. “One of the songs that Jon [Lampley] wrote so far was inspired by a bird he heard in Zimbabwe,” Ott said. “That’s just one little thing that could be turned into a song.” But in addition to specific scales, notes and rhythms, White said he was exposed to broader ideas that will serve as inspiration for years to come. “There were so many differences between these cultures,” White said. “But, when you got down to playing music, everybody’s just a human being and they have much more similarities than differences.” For an opportunity to hear some of the new music before it’s released this fall, head over to Natalie’s Coal Fired Pizza on April 16 for the Huntertones next show. Their music can also be found on Spotify.

s one of three annual events pre- sented by one of Columbus's most well-known alternative stations, CD 102.5 Day has showcased both music legends and up-and-coming Columbus bands on the same stage in the same night. This year's event is no different, with expansive lineups and accessible ticket costs providing listeners with an incredible start to the upcoming concert season. After making it through a three-phase competition, local bands Personal Public and Vianova will perform in the sold out weekend event in early April, joining the ranks of re-

nowned alternative acts such as The Kills, J Roddy Walson & The Business, Joy Formidable and Best Coast. "We sent our track 'Into the Night' to CD102.5 when we heard they were accepting artists for the Local Showcase, but we had submitted our music previously without response so we didn't know what to expect," Eric Morgan, guitarist and vocalist of competition winner Vianova, said. Myles Clayborne, member of fellow winning act Personal Public, noted that the group saw the competition as a chance to expand their presence in Columbus' music scene. "[It] was a prime opportunity to grow our
1870 MAGAZiNE • April 2016 • 1870NOW.COM
fan base, as well as flesh out who we were as a band and polish up the final bits of our sound that we hadn't gotten quite perfect yet," he said. After promoting the competition over the air and across social media platforms, the team at CD 102.5 narrowed down their submission pool into 10 competing bands, a figure further reduced to six acts after a stage of online voting. In the final round, the competition's Artist Showcase at Skully's Music Diner gave each band the chance to perform, with the audience voting on the winning two acts to receive a slot in the Side A and Side B CD 102.5 Day shows. Vianova and Personal Public will be the
opening acts in the lineup spanning back-toback weekends on April 2 and 9 at the newly renamed Express Live! venue downtown. Kara Jones, CD 102.5 director of marketing and promotions, noted the station strives to give fans "the most bang for their buck," at the annual event.
"It just kind of organically comes together every year. We just try and go for a handful of upand-comers that we don't think people have really heard of yet, or that we think are going to be really big, and of course a handful of staple acts," she said. "We really try to mesh the two, and make it as low cost as possible." With a lineup of musicians that have worked with major industry names ranging from Jack White to Vampire Weekend, the station will welcome a number of artists who are nationally--and even internationally--renowned to Columbus at a cost of $10.25 a ticket. For Vianova's Morgan, the opportunity to play with such alternative music veterans is "kind of surreal," as the band had only started performing together in July of last year. "It is going to be insane getting to hang out with everyone backstage. We've all been practicing breathing techniques so we don't hyperventilate in front of the Joy Formidable or the Kills," he said. Clayborne, who plays bass in Personal Public, noted that the band is looking forward to kicking off such a star-studded lineup. "Playing the LC Pavilion (Express Live!) has been our dream ever since we formed this band, so you can make sure we're going to throw down when we get there," he said. "We're trying to show Columbus that our music scene is still very much alive, and this night will definitely solidify that statement." To learn more about CD 102.5 Day, visit the station's website at cd1025.com/cd1025day. For those looking to secure tickets in spite of each event's sold out status, Vianova's Eric Morgan noted that fans can reach out to the band on Facebook, and they will "see what they can do," to locate available tickets.

When I spoke with band members at their house mid-March, I found myself readily welcomed into their inner sanctum, their mosque of music, their temple of groove. I was surrounded by smiling faces as a funked-out vinyl record spun on the turntable and spiced incense perfumed the air. “We’re trying to build atmospheres,” lead singer Chris Economos said on the band’s songwriting goals. “And we want to have enough space in the atmospheres of our songs to allow new moments to happen.” Sometimes that means the music takes the form of a soulful R&B slow jam, while other times it will make your feet move to a punchy pop funk beat. With the band’s seven-piece lineup of guitars, horns, keys and the ridiculously

talented gospel chops of Willie Barthel on the drums, versatility is the name of the game. “Willie’s really good at playing off horn lines or what the bass does, and he just throws it back at you,” saxophonist Faheem Najieb said. “It becomes a communication on stage. It’s not just people with their heads down playing their own part--we want to listen to each other.” The band went through major lineup changes after its inception at Denison University, and gathered members from all across Ohio--Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus--before settling down in the capital city. When the band recorded its first single, “You Dead Son,” it marked a major transition from a band that “played a lot of acoustic
“We’re trying to build atmospheres, and we want to have enough space in the atmospheres of our songs to allow new moments to happen.” jams,” to a collective of jazz, funk and soul, complete with a horns section. Economos spoke highly of new keyboardist Rob Mason, who uses his knowledge of music theory to add nuanced harmonies to the band’s songs. “He lays down, like, the mosaic carpet,” Economos said. “Somebody might lay down some shag carpet, but he lays down that fancy Afghan rug.” “It’s all about that thread count, bruh,” Najieb added. “I’m talking a thousand-plus.” Of course, songwriting is only half the battle. Once Osage hits the stage, all bets are off, thanks to open sections where band members are free to improvise and let their individual contributions shine through the mix. Lead guitarist Tony Capetillo told the story of how one live performance forever changed the band’s song “Love from Top to Bottom.” “We were playing it, we went into this jam, and Chris just randomly chose to sing, ‘Loo-ove!’ We just improvised that part live, but then we thought about it later and we realized that needs to be part of the song,” he said. Capetillo grins contagiously as he speaks, and continued on the importance of communicating with the audience. “Every show that I remember as being one of our best is when someone’s right in front who has a big fat smile on their face, even if it’s just one person,” he said. And if you’re in the audience at an Osage show, you’ll find it’s easy to be that one person, thanks to the band’s tight playing and feel-good tunes. Osage’s next show is at Big Room Bar on April 8 and you can check out their music at osage.bandcamp.com.

ALOHA, POKE:
Island-inspired street fare takes a chance on Columbus’s food scene Written by Carly Cheton

1870 MAGAZiNE • April 2016 • 1870NOW.COM
F
or those who consider themselves invested in the local food scene, it’s been difficult not to notice how the pop-up restaurant concept has been taking Columbus by storm. Owners and customers alike have been reaping the benefits of experimentation with menus and branding choices—all without the grounding commitment of a brick-and-mortar space. For Columbus food scene newcomers, Hai Poké, the pop-up concept has set the stage for what just might be the next new food craze in the Short North. Founded by Ohio State and University of Toledo graduates Nile Woodson and Mico Cordero, Hai
57
Poké derives its name from the Hawaiian street food consisting of sushi rice, a marinated fish, meat or tofu and a handful of flavorful toppings. Woodson, a 25-year-old New York native and longtime veteran of the restaurant industry, saw a unique opportunity after completing a marketing degree in Ohio State’s Fisher School of Business. In pursuit of his long-time dream of opening his own restaurant, he decided Columbus would make for an excellent test market for the island street food concept. “With no deep pockets and no industry connections, it was like, ‘We’ll get our footing here and build the support,’” he said. Woodson and Cordero deemed the pop-up restaurant format as the perfect means of introducing Columbus to poké, as they established a presence at Short North watering holes Oddfellows and Denmark on High, along with the Red Velvet Café downtown. “It was a massive marketing play for us. It was like, get the word out to as many people as possible before we open up our restaurant doors, so that we can eliminate some of the risk—and already have support and a following,” Woodson said. Eventually, the freedom afforded by the pop-up model gave the duo the chance to develop their product and brand with an ear for the customer’s opinion. “We’re not pretending like we know everything, and we knew that our community’s feedback was more important than just what we ourselves were just gonna put in the bowl,” Cordero said. “I think that’s been the backbone of this whole company. Just taking the feedback, from the bowls, all the way to the marinade, all the way to, you know, ‘You should put more salt in this.’” After having become business partners only seven months ago, Woodson and Cordero attribute their rapid growth to making the customer feel heard, while aligning their overarching brand vision with what the surrounding community has to say. “Say for example, Joan — just making her up — She came in and was like, ‘The only thing I can complain about is the bowl. We want a wider bowl.’ And then she comes back the next time and gets it in a wider bowl. Joan feels like we did that for her. It’s about that one interaction that makes people feel heard and makes people feel comfortable,” Woodson said. And after a crowdfunding campaign raised more than $6,000 in 48 hours, Hai Poké has done more than make Columbus comfortable with poké. Initially launched with the hopes of developing a more physical presence in the city, the ongoing campaign will fund the creation of both a Hai Poké food truck and restaurant space between the campus and downtown areas. Woodson and Cordero noted that a menu expansion can be expected with the mobile and brick-and-mortar additions in April and May. “We want to keep it simple,” Woodson said. And though the two have yet to nail down any final details, they fully intend on expanding their island inspiration, potentially drawing from Filipino and Japanese influences in new meat and fish offerings. Given Columbus’ $6,000 hype about poké, it only made sense for me to try the delicacy for myself. For my first island street fare experience, I went for the tofu bowl, which I proceeded to deck out with all available toppings.

1870 MAGAZiNE • April 2016 • 1870NOW.COM
Beyond relishing the perfectly cooked rice, I was a huge fan of the dish’s dynamic soy, which balanced the kick of the spicy mayo. The tofu was masterfully toasted and marinated (a rare feat, from the vegetarian perspective), and some seriously complementary, crunchy textures pleased the palate with bean sprouts, sesame seeds, jalapenos, scallions, onions, pickled cucumbers and a killer wonton trio. Gotta give “Joan” a shout out here, as the serving bowl was perfectly ideal for poké enjoyment--great news for others also possessing mediocre chopstick skills. It was an experience I’d recommend to anyone looking to try something a bit different, when having had enough of Columbus’s traditional Asian food offerings. For others searching in pursuit of an island taste, Hai Poké holds its kitchen takeovers throughout the week at its three partner locations. The restaurant’s current schedule is available online at haipoke.com/.

College Cooking
D
Written by Ashley Wilkinson
uring college, it is extremely important to figure out how to cook more than ramen noodles. One day, you’ll get thrown out into the real world and you won’t want to eat microwavable macaroni and cheese the rest of your life. If you’re living in the dorms, there isn’t much to work with. You may have a microwave or a small stove if you’re lucky. But, if you’re out of the dorms, you most likely have a full kitchen to experiment with. Don’t let your expensive oven and stove go to waste -- use them! Lucky for you, Columbus is a multi-cultural food city that has many opportunities for one to learn how to cook. Here are three amazing destinations in Columbus to learn how to master your cooking skills.
• The Seasoned Farmhouse
Located in Clintonville, owner and chef Tricia Wheeler prides herself in teaching others to cook with healthy and fresh food (there are classes to make scrumptious and fattening desserts, too). Options for cooking classes range from important basic techniques such as knife skills to creating elaborate dishes like paella. The average price for classes is $65.
• The Kitchen
This storefront is owned by Anne Boninsegna and Jen Lindsey and is located in German Village. One type of cooking class offered is very unique, because instead of cooking with strangers, you cook with your friends by reserving a party. Participants are also given the option to pick a dish to create depending on their experience and comfort in the kitchen. The Kitchen offers ethnic menus and themed nights that are designed to give participants an unforgettable experience. The average price for classes is $60.
• Franklin Park Conservatory
The Franklin Park Conservatory is known for its beauty, attracting tourists from all over the state of Ohio. The conservatory also offers cooking classes for everybody from vegan to gluten free. Many classes focus on special diets so that everyone can be included. Classes range from basic knife and skillet use to Indian cuisine and soul food classes. They also offer a winemaking course. The average price for classes is $60. Cooking classes are always fun and are a great way to learn new, delicious recipes. They are also amazing options for a special date night or girls’ night out. Whether a beginner in the kitchen or someone wanting to learn a new recipe, cooking classes are the way to go.

Paulie Gee’s Pizzaria
Slice with spice Serving up Unique Flavors Written by Ashley Wilkinson Photography by Carrisa Gan
izza is a simple go-to dish that even the pickiest eaters enjoy. Although there are countless pizza places throughout Columbus, many are typical takeout hubs with basic flavors such as pepperoni or mushroom. Boring! A new pizzeria has opened its doors to the Short North and is serving up pizza with vibrant, exciting flavors for pizza fanatics. Does a pizza topped with Canadian bacon, Gouda cheese and maple syrup sound appealing? While it may seem weird, it is making many people talk. Where to get it: Paulie Gee’s Pizzeria. Paulie Gee’s is a chain restaurant with only four other storefronts open in the U.S. The Columbus store opened earlier in the year and is slowly gaining popularity. Although I already presented you with possibly the weirdest topping combination (the Monte Christo pizza), Paulie Gee’s has many tamer, yet delicious, pizza flavors for all to love. Here are some scrumptious, cheesy and mouthwatering flavors:

Advice from local entrepreneur & food truck owner Written by Michelle Ozan
W
ith over 6,000 students pursuing an undergraduate business degree at Ohio State this year alone, it's no secret business is a popular field of study amongst millennials. While the majority of students will enter accounting, finance and HR, many students want to build an empire and become their own boss. We sat down with local entrepreneur, Jeremy Fox, owner and operator of Short North Bagel Deli, a mobile food business here in Columbus. Fox, a Bexley native, graduated from Butler University in 2008 with a degree in marketing. After college, he moved back to Columbusfor an Internet marketing position at a web hosting company. While starting his own business wasn’t part of the original plan, the corporate world proved too confining for Fox. “I was fed up with the slow pace, brick walls and general bureaucracy of the corpo-
68
rate world. I really wasn't thinking about the risk or reward, my main motivation was doing something I genuinely loved and to see if I could make a living doing it,” he said. So when the opportunity arose to open his own business at the age of 25, Fox decided to take a chance on the Columbus market. “There was a deli on campus at Butler serving steamed bagel sandwiches, which I came to find out was modeled off a place at Miami University in Ohio. After doing some research, I found out that there used to be a similar spot at Ohio State called Beekman’s Bagels,” Fox said. With so many Ohio State alum in the area and successful proof of concept at Butler and Miami U, Fox determined that the demand for steamed bagel deli sandwiches was alive and well in Columbus, Ohio. And so his business was born.

“My original plan was to operate a food cart downtown similar to the hot dog carts. I thought I would set up Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and then do late night bars on campus and in the arena district on weekends,” he said. But Fox quickly learned he had to adapt in order to make the business work for him and his growing family. “I realized that the best part of having a mobile food business is that it can move. I started going to office buildings, farmer’s markets and festivals. I also opened shop inside of Nationwide Insurance buildings to compensate during the winter months when outdoor opportunities are limited,” Fox explained. For Fox, being an entrepreneur brings more positives than negatives, but it definitely comes with its fair share of sacrifices.
“My original plan was to operate a food cart downtown similar to the hot dog carts. I thought I would set up Monday through Friday 7 AM to 3 PM, and then do late night bars on campus and in the arena district on weekends” "Running the business, running around all day, it doesn't feel like work. It just feels like I have a lot of stuff to do,” he said. “But, I have had to make some sacrifices. Business always comes first, so that has meant less time with family and friends." Building your own business is an adaptive process. Many entrepreneurs, like Fox, will tell you their original plan was quite different than where they are today and where they are going tomorrow.

"If you want your business to survive, you will have no choice but to learn from your mistakes and adapt," Fox said. So, what's his advice for budding student entrepreneurs? "Don't do it just to make money. Do it because you love it. And don't do it if you don't want to work hard. I am usually working 16 to 18 hours per day,� he said. “I'm not just the owner. I'm the owner, operator, accountant, marketing, sales, customer relations, business relations, chef and even the truck repair guy in emergencies. It's not easy, so be realistic about what you're getting into."
"If you want your business to survive, you will have no choice but to learn from your mistakes and adapt" For Fox, Short North Bagel Deli is his life and he is happy to be living the entrepreneur dream. For more information, or to meet Jeremy himself, find him on campus around the Wexner Medical Center, inside the Huntington Club at the Schott during basketball games or in the student section of the Shoe during football season. And while you're there, don't forget to try a bagel sandwich!
Electro-Entrepreneur OSU Student Wins National Entrepreneurship Title
Written by Sara Stacy
M
ost Ohio State students spend the month of March looking forward to spring break and the upcoming end of the semester. However, second-year OSU student, Peeyush Shrivashana is looking forward to something different; competing against student entrepreneurs from around the world in the Global Student Entrepreneurship Awards. Peeyush is the founder and CEO of Genetesis, a tech startup that is developing technology capable of 3D mapping the electro-currents of the heart in a completely non-invasive way. The company also focuses on personalizing medicine for patients, something Peeyush noticed was missing when he saw his grandfather’s health begin to deteriorate a decade ago. “He visited Columbus in 2006 and he was diagnosed with a bunch of different things, a lot of neurodegenerative conditions, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, some cardiac disturbances as well,” Peeyush said. “The way he was treated was more art than it was science, and it showed me at a young age that there was a lot to be done in terms of truly personalizing medicine.” The technology Peeyush and his team are working on is unique in that once it is fully developed, it can be used to aid doctors in their diagnosis and treatment of conditions non-invasively by measuring the electrical currents in the heart. “Everyone is trying to create novel ways of measuring electro-activity,” Peeyush said. “We are the only ones who are able to measure current density, which is essentially the main and final focus of an electro-physiologist’s decision making.” Between midterms and developing his company, Peeyush also spent some time in Miami on March 2 and 3 competing in the National Student Entrepreneurship Awards. “I finished a midterm at 5:05 [p.m.], and I had a flight out of Columbus at 7:30 [p.m.] so I had to dart to the airport,” Peeyush said. “It was crazy.” The National Student Entrepreneurship awards are a competition in
72
which 25 teams of student entrepreneurs around the country spend a weekend networking and competing for a $10,000 prize. "There were mobile startups, consumer startups and everyone is working on some pretty incredible stuff," he said. Peeyush and his team won the national competition and will now go on to Bangkok, Thailand to compete in the global competition. In addition to being able to compete with students from across the globe, winning the national award gave Genetesis great momentum moving forward. “It was great to get the attention from the competition and we’re keeping that momentum going,” Peeyush said. “We’re in the midst of working with a lot of data and
hopefully sharing those results over the next months, but right now it’s time to grind." Looking to the future, Peeyush sees how this technology can be used to address a multitude of health problems. “Being able to visualize the electric current in the heart, that’s not necessarily specific to the heart, you can scale it to neurological conditions,” Peeyush said. “We’re really focused right now but it’s truly a platform.” Beyond Genetesis, Peeyush sees himself developing multiple similar platforms with the aim of creating personalized technology that can aid in treating various conditions. “I just want to develop technology and translate it to the patient level,” Peeyush said. “I see myself developing platforms that can be used to address a variety of different diseases and different types of conditions.” Peeyush and the Genetesis team will be competing in the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards on May 10-12. The winner will receive $100,000 to put towards their company and $40,000 in cash.

hile industry experts have varying opinions on what should and shouldn't be on a resume, there are a few standard, no-debate practices that are key to building a strong document. Although creativity and innovation are more widely accepted than they have been in the past, as a student or recent graduate, it's always safer to stick to the basics and execute them flawlessly. Follow these five resume tips and you'll be one step ahead of your competitors. 1. Keep your resume to a single page Although seemingly an obvious tactic, many students overlook this essential guideline. As a student, recent graduate or young professional with less than five years of experience, your resume should most certainly fit on a single piece of paper. Granted, you may have enough internship experience to fill multiple pages, the average recruiter is only going to take six to eight seconds to look at your resume and you’ll want to make those few seconds count. "When your resume is longer than a page, it turns into a laundry list of your past work, leadership and volunteer experience. You're not able to highlight the important things,” said Sydney Turoff, a fourth-year at Ohio State. 2. Provide descriptive and concise bullets Provide bullets that demonstrate your value and accomplishments. You're not writing a bulleted job description for the role, but rather illustrating your achievements by specifically citing what you did. Current, more relevant roles should have several bullets, but no more than five. Older, less relevant roles can be reduced down to just a few bullets. "Your resume should not include every detail from every internship or job you’ve held. You should include things that are relevant to the job you seek and, if you don’t have direct experience, focus on transferrable skills," said Alyssa Gelbard, founder and president of Resume Strategists, a career consulting and personal branding firm. 3. Don’t include your hobbies or social media handles It’s a resume, not a Tinder profile. Do not include your age, hobbies, family/pets, likes or dislikes. An employer is not legally allowed to ask about some of those details anyway, as it could lead to hiring bias or discrimination. You also don’t want to waste valuable real estate on information that is irrelevant to the job.

RESUME 101 Sticking to the basics Written by Michelle Ozan Photography by Helloquence
Although it is important to build a personal connection with the employer, your resume is not the place to do that. After all, you don’t even have the job yet. In most cases, social media handles should also be excluded from your resume. Your resume is a reflection of your personal brand. If you have an old tweet that's unprofes-sional or an inappropriate caption on an Instagram post, it can leave a negative impression that could have easily been avoided in the first place. Also, many companies use auto-fill forms for applications, so your links won't work and will look out of place. “Although social media handles would be relevant to include on my resume, I don’t put them on because I created my accounts before I started professionally developing myself. However, I think it can be beneficial if your accounts are up to par,” said Turoff, who is pursuing a degree in the field of communications.

4. Use a professional email address You're applying for a job. You're stepping into the real working world. Do you really think an email address like PrincessSara94 or JackLaxChampion12 paint the picture of a mature, responsible adult who’s ready to be employed? The answer is no. It's time to retire your first AIM email address and choose something crisp and clean, such as your firstnamelastname@ gmail.com. You also don't want to use your school email past the point of graduation because it shows that you haven't quite moved on from the glory days. 5. Single, double and triple check for typos and errors There are so many details that go into a perfectly formatted resume. Often, it requires precise spacing, different font sizes for headings and bullets and section dividing lines that can easily find themselves in the wrong places. If you have periods at the end
of your bullets, make sure you have a period at the end of every bullet. Consistency is key. Of course, you also want to make sure there aren't any typos. If you're applying to a job that cites "detail oriented" as one of the qualifications, and many of them do, you've immediately taken yourself out of the running by making a mistake on your resume. If you can't perfect your resume, a potential employer won’t trust that you’ll have a high level of attention to detail in the job. “The easiest way to find mistakes and typos is to read your resume out loud. You shouldn’t rely on spell check to catch all of your mistakes,” said Gelbard. While many best resume practices are highly debated by industry professionals, these five are essential to making a strong first impression. If you choose to veer from these guidelines, you do so at your own risk, because any silly mistakes will land your resume directly in the "no" pile with no further shot at landing the job. Good luck!
