New social justice coordinator to focus on RAPP

ELIZABETH SCHMITT | NEWS EDITOR

The University of Cincinnati welcomed its newest social justice coordinator this week.

Kathy Nguyen, 27, will serve as social justice program coordinator for the Student Activities and Leadership Development office. A Washington native, Nguyen recently moved to the Queen City after teaching elementary school children for roughly two years.

“I was doing a lot in social justice work,” said Nguyen, “I did a lot work figuring out how to best teach these students and how to work with the surrounding community.”

Before becoming a

teacher, Nguyen worked as a teaching assistant through a teacher residency program at the University of Washington. She later received her master’s degree in Spanish from Whitman College in Walla, Washington. Nguyen went on to teach English in Spain to rural communities before moving back to the states and starting her teaching residency.

Now, Nguyen said she is excited to tackle a new city.

“Cincinnati is really changing in a lot of different ways,” Nguyen said. “It seems that conversation about social justice is opening up even more here, and I think that is really cool to see that happening.”

As the social justice

coordinator, Nguyen is responsible for many programs at UC. Among the most popular of these programs is the Racial Awareness Program (RAPP).

“I want people to know that I am someone they can talk to,” said Nguyen.

“I will be running the racial awareness program, and that is a pretty strong topic to talk about for some people.”

Nguyen said she plans to work closely with the existing RAPP staff, as well as alumni who have participated in the program.

“Right now, I’m just getting settled in and I’m getting to know the program a bit more,” said Nguyen. “We have talked about things we

are excited to implement.”

The program will be kicking off soon, she said — most likely in late November, which is when the program typically starts.

RAPP is 30 years old and has historically focused on two intensive development programs— a nine-month intensive program and a five-day intensive program along with outreach programs such as workshops.

“For some of us it is what we deal with every day— our race. For others it is something that is as easy to talk about or it gets really personal,” Nguyen said. “I want people to know that I am willing to listen and that I am willing to have these difficult situations as long

as others are to.”

Nguyen’s office is located in Steger Student Life Center on the 600 level and said she is working toward getting to know the student

body.

RAPP is currently accepting applications on OrgSync to be a part of its intensive programs and is open to all students.

Kickstarter company cancels plans to connect campuses with bus service MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR

The Inter-College Bus Company has canceled plans to launch a low-cost, high frequency bus service this fall, which would have connected the University of Cincinnati to several other college campuses in Ohio.

The startup company launched in 2016 with the promise of implementing routes between UC, Bowling Green State University and The Ohio State University, among other campuses statewide. The company announced Thursday that its plans to launch the service in fall 2018 have been canceled due to rising costs and a lack of qualified drivers.

“Rising fuel and maintenance costs and an industry-wide shortage of qualified drivers have all contributed to our decision to shelve our plan for the immediate future,” said Chance Gvist, CEO and president of the Inter-College Bus Company, in a statement.

“We would rather take the time to wait for prices to flatline or go down and wait for a pool of qualified drivers than compromise on your promise of quality, safe and reliable

transportation options for students.”

In November 2017m the company announced that it would launch its service in the spring, offering one-way travel between any two schools for $20. The proposed route would run from UC to Columbus with stops at Miami University and the University of Dayton.

Once riders arrive at Columbus, they could switch routes reaching campuses as far as Cleveland, Toledo and Athens. The company planned to operate four routes across the state Thursday through Sunday with three stops at each university per day, according to its Kickstarter campaign.

Barons Bus and GoBus already offer routes from UC that range between $5 and $35 depending on destination and date of purchase. However, routes to and from UC aren’t always direct — many Barons buses stop at Greyhound stations in Cincinnati or Columbus and may have several hours of layover time. There are also no current bus routes connecting UC to Bowling Green State University, Kent State University or Marietta College — all of which the Inter-College Bus

Company planned to include.

Chanse Gvist, a University of Akron alumnus; and Sam Sheronovich, a Kent State student, started the company intending to make it the first bus line in Ohio to specialize in direct travel between college campuses.

“We’re proud to fill a gap in this industry, which so many are excited for,” the founders said on the company’s Kickstarter campaign. “Maybe you can’t have a car on campus. Maybe you’re going home for the holidays, or just want to see your friend for the weekend across the state. Whatever your travel needs are as a student, we can get you further, with more direct routes compared to other transit options.”

The company launched its Kickstarter campaign in late 2017 but raised only $80 of its $35,000 goal. Plans might not be dead in the water, however. The company still hopes to launch the service eventually.

“The Inter-College Bus Company will continue to pursue our mission with the hope of beginning service as soon as economically practical,” the company said in a statement.

Expanded food pantry to open in Stratford Heights ALEX MARTIN | CONTRIBUTOR

The Bearcats Pantry will open its new location in Stratford Heights this Wednesday, Oct. 17, with an expanded selection of food and clothing items.

Daniel Cummins, assistant dean of students, hopes the new space will enable the pantry to cater to more students and host a larger, more diverse selection of food items, among other initiatives.

“We want the pantry to be diverse in its service addressing cultural, faith based, health, and personal dietary nutritional needs,” Cummins said in an email.

“The UC Bearcats Pantry and UC Bearcats Pantry Career Closet will become the central distribution locations of various forms of relief to the different insecurities UC students face.”

In addition to providing

food for students, the new location will allow the pantry to provide professional attire for students.

Cummins founded the pantry in fall 2016. It offers free food, personal hygiene products and cleaning supplies to students in need, with the goal of minimizing food insecurity and other financial troubles.

“The pantry is meant to provide supplemental support which means we do not supply enough food to completely eradicate food insecurity,” the initiative’s webpage reads. “Our goal is to assist students in need by cutting down their grocery bills and connecting them to other resources in an effort to promote independence.

The Bearcats Pantry is here to support students of all backgrounds and serve the student population.”

Cummins and his team worked with several

other student groups and individuals on campus — including Undergraduate Student Government (SG), Graduate Student Governance Association (GSGA), the Office of the Treasurer, the Wellness Center, Campus Ministries, the Center for Community Engagement, the LGBTQ Center, the Gen-1 program and Dr. Jennifer Pinto — to make the new location possible.

Before utilizing the pantry, students must fill out an intake survey. The survey helps the pantry to understand the needs of students and connect them to more available resources.

Then, students walk back to the pantry and are given a bag to place their items.

Students are encouraged to take as much as they need.

“Our goal is for this process to be as easy, quick, and confidential as possible,” the pantry’s website reads.

The pantry also offers meal vouchers for students to use at dining halls on main campus and at UC Blue Ash Bleeker Street Cafe. Students can donate extra meal swipes to the pantry, which are given to students in need through meal vouchers at locations across campus. Every two weeks, students can receive five vouchers.

Students are able to help the pantry in its mission to give back to the community by volunteering. Students can also coordinate food and clothing drives to help populate the pantry with resources, according to Cummins.

Students can also volunteer time to assist with the operations of the pantry, and community members can donate goods or money to the organization to assist it as well.

The grand opening event Wednesday, Oct. 17, will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. at Stratford Heights Building 16.

UC recognized as a top innovative school MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR For the first time in history, Reuters has included the University of Cincinnati on its list of the top 100 most innovative universities in the world.

Reuters, a London-based international news agency, “identifies and ranks the educational institutions doing the most to advance science, invent new technologies and power new markets and industries,” according to its website.

The University of Cincinnati and the Ohio State University are the only two Ohio schools represented on the list. They join other top-tier schools in the U.S., including Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University.

The rankings are governed by a point system, which accounts for each university’s output and impact of patents, research and journal articles. UC is ranked No. 80, but Reuters said the relative ranking of any university doesn’t provide a complete picture of the total innovation happening at an institutional level.

“Since the ranking measures innovation on an institutional level, it may overlook particularly innovative departments or programs,” the website reads. “A university might rank low for overall innovation but still operate one of the world’s best medical schools, for instance.”

Reuters’ page about UC’s inclusion on the list features UC’s Nanoworld Laboratories’ development of high-tech fabrics for the U.S. military, which could be used in smarter uniforms. The page also mentions that in 2017, UC received more than $193 million in 941 sponsored research awards.

Mark Schulz, professor of mechanical and materials engineering and co-director of Nanoworld Laboratories, said he recognizes the importance of UC’s innovative spirit.

“Innovation underpins our economy,” Schulz said. “UC recognizes this and supports research that leads to being a top 100 innovative research university.”

Schulz said interdisciplinary collaboration and a diverse environment is its greatest driver of innovation.

“An example is the UC Nanoworld Laboratory, which focuses on nanotechnology and smart materials,” Schulz said. “Faculty members from the Colleges of Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Medicine, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning and students from around the world work together in Nanoworld.”

Advancing innovation has been a key priority for UC President Neville Pinto since his arrival on campus. Last year, Pinto hired the university’s first chief innovation officer, David J. Adams. This month, the university officially opened its 1819 Innovation Hub, a campus building designed to establish collaborations between the university and businesses.

Schulz credits the comprehensive nature of the university to how much hands-on experience is built into its degree programs.

“The engineering education department incorporates design innovation into courses,” Schulz said. “Students are required to participate in experiential learning (cooperative education), they can be involved in research and they are encouraged to go to graduate school.”

Despite funding difficulties facing some U.S. universities, Schulz said UC stands above others in its ability to prepare students for post-collegiate life.

“Overall, research and higher education are under-supported in this country,” Schulz said. “However, Cincinnati is tougher than the rest and delivers innovation in education and research, and it produces skilled graduates that become the framework of our society.”

UC Health to fill 250 nursing positions amid talent drought DAVID REES | STAFF REPORTER

UC Health is hosting recruitment events this fall to hire 250 new nurses. PROVIDED BY UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

UC Health is hosting a series of open houses this month to fill approximately 250 nursing positions, the health care organization announced last week.

Available jobs include fulltime, part-time and on-call positions at all levels of the organization and across all UC Health locations, including outpatient sites and the Lindner Center of Hope.

Currently, UC Health employs roughly 2,600 nurses and nurse leaders. Employees are spread out across three inpatient campuses and 61 outpatient locations that provide 38 specialties and subspecialties.

As a organization, UC Health employs 9,785 associates, not including physicians and advanced practice providers.

“UC Health is committed to hiring both experienced and new graduate nurses as we face this national talent shortage,” said Sondra Barker, human resource manager for talent acquisition at UC Health.

“As Cincinnati’s only adult academic medical center, we have the educational programs in place to support newlyhired nurses at any level of experience. We consider UC Health the region’s health care employer of choice, and as an organization have made recruitment as well as employee engagement and retention a priority.”

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the United States is projected to experience a shortage of Registered Nurses (RNs) that is expected to intensify as baby boomers age.

“Our more than 2,600 nurses lead the way in providing this advanced level of care every day,” said Beverly Bokovitz, chief nursing officer at UC Medical Center, in a news release. “We invite those who are interested in joining our team to visit an upcoming recruitment fair and learn more for themselves.”

Nursing schools across the country are struggling to

expand capacity to meet the rising demand for care, given the national move reform the health care system. The AACN works with schools, policy makers and nursing organizations to bring this growing concern to the media.

“The advanced level of care provided by an academic health system like UC Health provides our nurses with the opportunity to continually learn, grow and advance,” said Kathie Hays, chief nursing officer at West Chester Hospital, in a news release. “We also offer something for everyone: the urban trauma center, the suburban community hospital setting, and post-acute care.”

UC Health’s first open house was held Thursday, Oct. 11, from 4-8 p.m. at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

The remaining open houses are scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 5-9 p.m. at West Chester Hospital; and Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 4-8 p.m. at the Daniel Drake Center for PostAcute Care. These events are free and open to the public.

UC Cancer Institute opens new breast cancer clinic

LAUREN STYCZYNSKI | STAFF REPORTER

The UC Cancer Institute Breast Cancer Center opened a new clinic for individuals who are at risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer.

The clinic, which opened earlier this month, is intended for individuals deemed high-risk based on family medical histories or biopsies. These individuals are encouraged to visit the center and learn how to employ preventative strategies.

The high-risk clinic was developed to “help women assess their personal risk for breast and/or ovarian cancers; some overestimate their risk and many markedly underestimate their risk” said Dr. Elyse Lower, director of the breast cancer center, oncologist for UC Health and a professor in the College of Medicine.

Women are at greater risk for breast cancer, as 99 percent of breast cancers

are found in women, Lower said.

Age is another risk factor, Lower said. The likelihood of developing breast cancer by age 30 is one in 3,000. By age 50, it’s one in 50; and by age 80, it’s one in eight.

Presence of BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes can also indicate an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. Individuals with the BRCA 1 and 2 genes often have between a 50 and 80 percent chance of developing these cancers.

The clinic uses risk tools to estimate patients’ potential cancer risk. The tools account for those who carry the BRCA 1 and 2 genes.

The clinic is open Monday morning on the third level of the UC Health Barrett Cancer Center. Each patient can either self-refer or be referred to the clinic by his or her primary care physician.

The clinic’s team of health care providers spans many specialties and includes

experts on different areas of breast cancer. These specialties range from breast imaging to genetics, as well as many oncology specialties, including medical, gynecologic and surgical.

The clinic’s team works to establish a plan of action and prevention for its patients based on estimated risk and prevention options.

“If a woman is at higher risk than normal, she can be offered close surveillance, preventative surgeries or chemoprevention” Lower said.

Higher-risk women may be offered chemoprevention, which can reduce the risk of hormone-dependent breast cancer by up to 50 percent, according to The Washington Post.

Women may also elect for preventative surgeries, which can substantially reduce the risk of developing cancer.

“Hopefully, within five years, our clinic will have

identified many patients that can be offered risk reduction strategies.” Lower said. “We anticipate that this is just the first high-risk

cancer clinic at UC Health.

Eventually, we may be able to offer similar clinics for men and prostate cancer and more.”

Lower recommends that women administer routine breast self-exams and schedule mammogram appointments annually.

The new clinic, open on the third floor of the UC Health Barrett Cancer Center, hosts many specialties on different areas of breast cancer. WIKIMEDIA

She started working on her master’s degree in CCM’s first class of accompanying majors, now named collaborative piano.

It was comprised of just two students. After graduating in 1972, she played for voice lessons and gave piano lessons at CCM where she met her husband. They married the following year and had two daughters.

In 1976, she taught her first class at CCM. During her career at UC, Loewy has held several titles as an instructor, assistant, associate, adjunct and field service professor. Most recently, Lowey became a tenured professor.

As the longest standing collaborative piano professor at UC, Loewy’s primary focus is her interaction with students.

I love to give them seeds to help them grow and nurture. We make a team when we coach. It takes two people who basically have to trust each other. I’m a helping verb by nature and nurture.”

Despite being past retirement age, Loewy continues to teach eighthour days throughout the week.

“I’m still vital,” she said.

“Until somebody tells me that I should consider slowing down, I won’t.”

It’s that attitude that has kept Loewy strong, even when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999.

She had her Carnegie Hall debut in 2000 while undergoing chemotherapy.

Loewy bravely put mind over matter, making her successful debut with her friend and fellow CCM professor Daniel Weeks.

A proud cancer survivor, Loewy said the love and support from students at UC helped her during her mastectomy.

But her love for CCM it rooted deeper than academia. It stems from the students and colleagues she’s made lasting bonds with.

“We have such talented people here,” Loewy said.

“I just feel that we are a family, and I believe that we are here for the betterment of the students.”

The conservatory will always hold a special place in Loewy’s heart.

“I grew up at CCM,” she said. “I went from my 20s to 70. I wouldn’t change that.”

Despite nearly a halfcentury of experience at UC, Loewy said she continues to learn and grow from the students and faculty she works with every day.

“In giving, I’m also learning,” she said.

“Teaching is a conversation.

My ability to share what I know with people is a gift in itself, and it gives me joy.”

Press Play: Podcasts to listen to this week LINDSEY CARR | STAFF REPORTER

Sometimes, students don’t have hours to spend watching Netflix. In the age of multitasking, podcasts are perfect. Put one on while studying, cleaning or driving to work.

According to Statista, 6 billion hours of podcasts were heard in 2016. That number is expected to double by 2019. In case anyone is unfamiliar with the wonderful world of podcasts, here’s what’s what. From true crime to TED Talks, this list has something for everyone: My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark Hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, as the title suggests, this podcast is truly one of the best. One would not expect a true-crime podcast to be funny, but listen to one episode and be transformed.

This podcast centers on

these two telling their most interesting murder cases, but it features shorter episodes that include write-ins from fans telling hometown stories.

Ear Hustle This podcast amplifies voices that are seldom heard. It is stories from inside prison walls — specifically, inside the walls of the San Quentin State Prison. The podcast is told by those living in San Quentin, and they produce it, too. Freckled with comedic elements, this podcast is honest and raw.

Lore This one is for those intrigued by urban legends.

Hosted by Aaron Mahnke, the podcast delves into the history behind our superstitious world — and figures out exactly where our legends came from.

Ted Radio Hour Sometimes, there simply isn’t enough time to sit and watch TED talks. In

those times, this podcast is perfect. Hosted by Guy Raz, each episode covers a different topic and features multiple speakers and perspectives.

The Argument For those who want to know how the other half thinks. For democracy to work, others must have the floor sometimes. This podcast just does that.

New York Times opinion columnists Ross Douthat, Michelle Goldberg and David Leonhardt discuss and critique arguments from across the political radar.

Sworn Although it has elements of true-crime, “Sworn” is different. It dissects the criminal justice system, from legal aspects to emotional repercussions.

Host Phillip Holloway, a current defense attorney and former prosecutor, offers a unique perspective.

On Point

An NPR podcast, “On Point” is a bit of a variety show. From economics to sustainability to politics, this podcast covers it all.

Meghna Chakrabarti and David Folkenflik are perfect hosts for their various guests.

Pod Save America This podcast is for political junkies and laypeople alike.

Hosted by three former aides of President Barack Obama, “Pod Save America” features journalists, comedians, activists and more to discuss current events and challenges posed by the Trump administration.

This American Life Another one by NPR, this podcast is like a weekly public radio show. The host, Ira Glass, plucks topics that are extremely relevant right now, like border crossings, and speaks with those directly affected by it. Think “a day in the life.”

Hidden Brain Yet another NPR podcast, Hidden Brain is a scientific storytelling audio

experience that discusses why people do the things they do. Host Shankar Vedantam dissects the unconscious patterns that ultimately drive decisions, behaviors and relationships.

The Book Review This one’s a New York Times podcast. It’s hosted

by Pamela Paul and features top editors at The New York Times. They gather to discuss what books they’re currently reading, top books of the literary charts and

goings-on in the world of literature.

There’s a podcast for everyone. From political discussions to psychological explanations, the topics are abundant. To listen to the podcasts above and more, simply download the Apple Podcast app.

Google and Android users can use Google Play Music.

For those with neither — or perhaps a desire to be different — try Podbean.

Compassion through fashion PAYTON MARSHALL | CONTRIBUTOR

DAAP fashion students team up with St. Vincent de Paul’s thrift store to put on their annual fashion show, Retrofittings, transforming ordinary garments into fantasy outfits in Music Hall. PROVIDED

Get ready for fall’s most fashionable charity event, where runway creations are fabricated from thrifty $15 finds by fellow Bearcats. St. Vincent De Paul is hosting its 16th annual RetroFittings fashion show Thursday, Oct. 18, at Cincinnati Music Hall.

This unique show features collaborations with students from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP), as well as students from Paul Mitchell The School in Sharonville. All event proceeds and donations benefit St. Vincent De Paul.

“I’m excited for the creative freedom that RetroFittings not only allows, but encourages,” says Dani Votel, one of the Paul Mitchell students featured in the fashion show.

DAAP students were limited to $15 to purchase items from one of the many St. Vincent De Paul thrift stores. Students then created a fashion piece to display on a model for the show. The strict guidelines force students to rely on individual creativity

to construct a fun environment where their designs trace outside the lines of normal attire. Paul Mitchell students will perform individual hair and makeup for each of the models.

Turning thrifty finds into runway-worthy fashion sounds like a monumental challenge.

But for DAAP students, it is merely another opportunity to wow others with their innate talents in fashion innovation.

“We hope that people leave RetroFittings feeling inspired to continue supporting this great work, whether it’s by shopping in our thrift stores, volunteering at the outreach center or with one of the parishbased conferences, or donating funds,” said Renee Berlon, event manager.

Last year, St. Vincent de Paul fed more than 100,000 people through food pantries and kept 5,300 families in their homes.

“We hope that guests leave feeling inspired and hopeful — inspired by the creativity of the DAAP and Paul Mitchell students, and hopeful that, together, we’re creating a community filled with compassion while helping our

neighbors in need,” Berlon said.

The University of Cincinnati’s Dr. Anant R. Bhati Endowment, Christ Hospital, Huntington Bank and Protective Life Insurance Company are among the many local sponsors for the event. With media sponsorship from Local 12, Warm 98.5 and Cincinnati Magazine, the night is likely to be well-documented.

“This event also isn’t a typical sit-down dinner fundraising gala,” said Berlon. “Instead, guests have the opportunity to socialize while shopping in the on-site boutique, followed by a live auction and high-energy, unforgettable fashion show.”

In addition to the show, there will be live auctions and bids for Elton John tickets, as well as a week’s stay in San Lucas, Mexico.

General admission tickets are $60 and VIP tickets are $100. The show begins at 6 p.m.

It is sure to be a stupendous evening — an all-encompassing celebration of the arts and a shared goal of helping those in need. It’s a night where the fashion goes beyond the clothes, instead stitching hearts for human compassion.

United in Fickell’s philosophy MATT HUFFMON | SPORTS EDITOR “We’ve played better, but there’s a lot of reasons why we’ve played better — outside of football.”

After six games last year, the University of Cincinnati football team stared at a 2-4 record in its search for a sense of identity. On Oct. 7, 2017, the Bearcats were embarrassed 51-23 by the University of South Florida (USF) Bulls at Nippert Stadium.

The second half of the season wasn’t exactly a fight to the finish, as UC ended 4-8 for a second consecutive year. In the final home game against the University of Connecticut (UConn), the student section at Nippert Stadium was nearly empty.

This year, the Bearcats are 6-0 and rank No. 20 nationally, and the campus seems to cherish the team once again. So, what prompted the progress?

Over the past week, I’ve interviewed secondyear head coach Luke Fickell, longtime voice of UC athletics Dan Hoard and current team captain Garrett Campbell for their perspectives on the strong start.

Upperclassmen’s desire to lead others Throughout the first half of the regular season, Fickell has preached a “next man up” philosophy, meaning the

less-experienced players must be ready for game action in a moment’s notice.

Garrett Campbell, a sixthyear senior and former walk-on, was a catalyst on the offensive line throughout the first four wins. During the second quarter of UC’s week five 49-7 road win over UConn Sept. 29, Campbell suffered a broken left ankle.

After enduring surgery three days later, Campbell was back at practice with his team, mentoring players from the sidelines. Using a walking boot and crutches, Campbell joined his fellow captains at midfield before the homecoming game with Tulane for the opening coin toss.

During the bye week, Fickell has continued to be impressed with Campbell’s dedication toward his teammates. “[Garrett’s] been huge for us,” Fickell said. “There’s so many reasons that we’re where we are right now.

We’ve played better, but there’s a lot of reasons why we’ve played better outside of football. Garrett’s a big part of that, whether he’s playing on the football field or he’s just in the locker room. He means more to this team off the field than probably on the field.”

For now, his focus is on helping his teammates prepare for upcoming opponents. The “next man up” at the center position is

redshirt freshman Jakari Robinson.

“I don’t think my role really changed as far as Jakari,” Campbell said.

“Throughout the whole year, I’ve been doing my best to mentor him because I know once I leave after this year, [the center position] will rest a lot on his shoulders …

I don’t want people to worry about me. I won’t let being hurt change the kind of leader I am.”

Campbell hopes to return toward the end of the regular season after finishing physical rehab.

Finding the joy in being a collegiate athlete Due to the unbeaten record, the team has experienced positive national publicity for the first time since 2015.

Fickell and staff were demanding during the bye week, as expectations and accountability within the program didn’t change.

But the staff still incorporated a sense of satisfaction, especially during Thursday’s practice.

After glancing at his practice plan sheet in the middle of Sheakley Athletics Center, Fickell instructed the backup offense and defense units to line up for a series of goalline plays.

Third-string freshman quarterback Ben Bryant lofted a pass toward the back-right side of the

end-zone. Freshman wide receiver Yanez Rogers leaped above his defender and pulled in what would be a touchdown. As Fickell and multiple coaches raised their arms to signal the score and the end of practice, nearly every offensive player on the roster rushed to joyfully mob Rogers.

“We have to find a way [to have fun] sometimes,” Fickell said after practice.

“These guys work really hard. When there’s time to have a good time, we have to have fun with it. We have to celebrate, especially for some of these young guys who don’t get in games as often.”

Rapport between coaching staff and players Hoard has been impressed by the staff’s ability to connect on a personal level with the student athletes.

“The biggest thing that stands out to me in terms of Fickell and culture is how much the players seem to love playing for him and his staff,” Hoard said.

“I have never heard UC players speak so openly and so effusively about how much they’re enjoying it and how much they think they’re getting out of the coaching staff … For Fickell to be getting that kind of response is really telling.”

The staff features multiple notable UC football alums,

October 17, 2018 | newsrecord.org including quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli (200104) and cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens (2005-08).

“Those guys know the history a lot more than some others,” Fickell said.

“They know the history more than some of the older players on this team. As you bring in some of the newer kids that are from Ohio or the Cincinnati area, they [learn] the long history.

Campus buzz In three home games, the football team has an average attendance of 32,085 in a stadium with a maximum capacity of 40,000.

“It’s an event that everybody wants to come to and be a part of,” Fickell said. “Yes, we’re playing better football. Yes, we have some big games coming up. Yes, we have some momentum created, but you have to make sure the events are fun.”

The rise of UC football has Hoard reminiscing his love for the daily sports media profession and the joy a strong program can bring to a region.

“It’s one of the best things about sports in general …

A city or a university rallies around a successful sports team,” Hoard said.

“It’s one of the reasons why I love what I do.

I love the energy that it brings to

a community when a team begins to play well.”

UC football looks to remain unbeaten against the 4-3 Temple University Owls Saturday. Kick-off in Philadelphia is set for noon, and ESPNU will provide television coverage.

Former Bearcats sign with professional teams MATT HUFFMON | SPORTS EDITOR SPENCER SCHULTZ | STAFF REPORTER

By now, each of the 30 National Basketball Association (NBA) organizations have announced their respective opening day rosters, as the official season began Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Three members of the 2017-18 University of Cincinnati basketball team earned opportunities to prove themselves in the NBA — guard Jacob Evans and forwards Gary Clark and Kyle Washington.

Gary Clark (2014–18) – Houston Rockets (jersey No. 6) Houston signed “The Problem,” an American Athletic Conference (AAC) Player of the Year, after he went undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-8 forward graduated from UC in May and is one of just three players in school history with more than 1,400 points and 1,100 rebounds.

Clark is currently signed

We love it. It’s always a great time, both playing and watching.”

Cincinnati midfielder Corben Bone is focused on embracing a winning mentality for the team’s enthusiastic and loyal followers.

“We did a great job winning the regular season, and now we can concentrate on winning the first game and moving on, and hopefully, moving toward other trophies that our fans deserve and that this club has worked so hard for,” Bone said.

Between the MLS bid in late May, the unbeaten streak, a new stadium underway and national accolades, 2018 has been a season to remember for Cincinnati’s growing soccer fanbase.

FCC is first team in USL history to have four players score more than 10 goals in one season. Midfielder Emmanuel Ledesma leads

the team with 16, while Bone, midfielder Nazmi Albadawi and forward Danni König each have 11.

Head coach Alan Koch commended the team for its accomplishments this year.

“I think I just use the word ‘team’ — this is a team,” said Koch. “Having four guys that have scored double digits is amazing. We’ve got other guys that can score goals too, obviously. It just shows that we’re very, very multidimensional in terms of our group.”

Koch was named USL’s Coach of the Month for September after leading the team to a 6-0-0 record during that span. He was previously nominated in July and August.

“There’re no such things as individual awards,” Koch said. “Every individual award is about the team, and that’s why we built a very, very special team this year. It took a lot of work in the offseason to put it

to a two-way contract, which allows players to split time between an NBA team and a developmental (G-League) team. The Rockets’ affiliate is the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, whose home games are played at Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas.

Clark averaged 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in five preseason games for Houston — a performance that stood out to Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni.

“I think [Clark] will keep getting better, but he’s already very solid,” D’Antoni told Fox 26 in Houston last week. “He plays like a four-year veteran, which he kind of is after four years of college.

He’s further ahead than most kids out of college.

The thing that surprised me is that he wasn’t drafted.

That stuns me. There’s 60 players better than him? I don’t think so.”

Clark compared his approach to the professional level with his time in Cincinnati.

“I’ll [have a chip on my shoulder] about [going undrafted] for a long time,” Clark said. “This is the highest level that I could possibly be at where people have doubted me … A lot of people made a mistake [in the draft]. The Houston Rockets didn’t.

Now, it’s time to do things to help my team win and be productive.”

Expect Clark to split time between the NBA and G-League, as the Rockets’ Carmelo Anthony and P.J. Tucker are expected to hog NBA playing time at the power forward position.

Jacob Evans III (2015–18) – Golden State Warriors (jersey No. 10) The back-to-back NBA Champions selected Evans with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the draft.

Evans, a first-team All-AAC performer at Cincinnati, signed with the Warriors July 2.

He led the Bearcats in scoring last season with 13 points per game and joins a professional roster

full of talent, as his new teammates include NBA All-Star forwards Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, as well as guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Evans is expected to be Thompson’s primary backup at shooting guard.

Kyle Washington (2016-18) – Yalova Belediye Washington, a 6-foot-9 forward, worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers before going undrafted.

He subsequently played in two summer league games for the Detroit Pistons, averaging one point and one rebound. Washington recently signed with Yalova Belediye, a professional team in Turkey.

Caupain inks deal with Orlando: Troy Caupain, a Bearcat from 2013 through 2017, signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic for the upcoming season. The 6-foot-4 point guard spent last season developing with Orlando’s G-League team, the Lakeland Magic.

in place. Little accolades like this for individuals are really a testament to our entire group, to our coaching staff, to our players, to everybody involved within our organization. It’s been a fun, historic year so far. We’ve enjoyed the successes, and

hopefully we can continue this down the road.”

Tickets are on sale and range between $10 and $60 depending on section.

Parking passes can be purchased for $10 in advance.

The club no longer offers student tickets or sections,

according to FCC’s website.

The club welcomes college students to sit in the general admission section at the southern end of Nippert Stadium.

If FCC pulls out a win this Saturday, the team will return to Nippert Stadium for the next playoff Oct. 27.

FCC returns to Nippert as No. 1 seed in playoffs BRESLIN SAND | STAFF REPORTER FC Cincinnati (FCC) will enter the 2018 United Soccer League (USL) playoffs as the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed after the team’s 3-3 draw last Saturday at Nashville SC. The Orange and Blue will meet Nashville, the No. 8 seed, Saturday in the first round of playoffs at the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium. Kick-off is set for 4 p.m.

FCC is riding the momentum of a 23-match unbeaten streak — the longest in USL history.

“It’s fantastic,” said Lynn Olberding, a season ticketholder and avid soccer fan. “I think it’s great for the city. I think it’s great for soccer. I think it’s great for them going into the MLS. My husband and I have been playing soccer for nearly our entire lives — him since the 70s’ and for me, probably ’86, I believe.

Culturally appropriated costumes are a no-go SAMI STEWART |OPINION EDITOR

Halloween is right around the corner; and it’s time to start brainstorming costume ideas. But there are some things to consider before settling in on that cowboys and Indians motif.

The issue of cultural appropriation in Halloween costumes is one that begs to be discussed. Your night could start with good intentions and quickly turn sour the moment you step into a bar and get labeled a racist.

There are some questions you should ask yourself before suiting up. The biggest and most glaring question is, “could my costume possibly offend a person’s culture?”

Although this area is about as gray as can be, there are clear boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. We know that blackface has been — and always will be — a no-no.

But what about dressing up as Pocahontas if you’re not an indigenous person?

Obviously, the impact of offense will range from person to person. But drawing all over your face with eyeliner, French braiding your hair and throwing on a headband with some feathers could get sticky. For indigenous peoples, facial markings are specific to each tribe, so scribbling what you assume to be “Native-American-like” designs on your face really means nothing.

So, if these markings are meaningless, why are some people offended by “nothing?”This perspective seems to be the simplest way to brush off something as morally sound — no meaning, no offense, right? Well, it’s more complicated than that. Haphazardly smearing paint on your face to mimic a culture without properly replicating the

finer elements comes across as a slight to the entire culture. It gives no consideration to the meaning behind the markings, and no desire to understand the “why” part of the equation.

So, let’s say you investigate the origins of indigenous facial painting patterns to find the true meaning behind the markings.

Even if you nail the colors, the placement and the meaning, is it still problematic that you’re a non-indigenous person dressing up as an indigenous person?

Representing a culture that you’ve never been part of seems a little off-balance, doesn’t it? Now, let’s look at it from a historical perspective. Not only are white people and indigenous people of different cultural backgrounds (obviously), but there’s been a great deal of tension, oppression and injustices committed by white culture. So, mimicking a culture that our ancestors raped and killed no longer seems so gray. In fact, it seems pretty black and white that doing so could seriously offend some people.

The easiest way to avoid having a terrible night on Halloween because of poor costume choices is to take the time to consider whether your costume might ruffle any feathers. And if you come to a crossroads where it’s difficult to decide one way or the other? Get a second, third and fourth opinion.

It’s easy to brush off something as trivial as a Halloween costume as non-offensive.

But as a society without reference to cultural heritages that differ from our own, it’s not our place to judge based on our inherently privileged worldview.

Halloween is the best time to get creative — just don’t insult someone. WIKIMEDIA

Sami Stewart takes on the most prevalent disease wrecking your local senior: Senioritis. WIKIMEDIA

Senioritis SAMI STEWART | OPINION EDITOR I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is to get the hell out of this academic institution. I started this year feeling nostalgic and sad that this would be my last year of formal education. I vowed to relish every bit of my final year — every up and down, all-nighter and forgotten assignment. I wanted to feel every bit of emotion that would fabricate my last stretch of college.

Now, it’s the middle of the worst of two semesters, and the shine of this final year has worn off. I’m suffocating under the full weight of my responsibilities. I’m stretching my mind lace thin across six classes, two jobs, a social life and remembering to text my mom so she knows I’m still alive.

The light at the end of this tunnel seems more like a pinhole these days. I’m fighting between indulging in counting down the days, preemptively planning my graduation celebration

and feeling petrified of the world outside the comfort of academia. Soon, there will be no grades, only deadlines; no chances to rework that paper, only disdain from your boss — assuming you’re lucky enough to have one.

My current feelings toward being a senior in college are equal parts stress and dread, a dash of passion, shaken thoroughly and served with a twist of hope for the future. I’m drunk as a skunk from this cocktail of emotions. I may be swimming in them, but hey — at least my head is above water.

It’s easy to wish the time away when the going gets tough. Obviously, at the beginning of the semester, I swore I wouldn’t wish away even the most unbearable parts of the year, because this is it.

Everything is chronicled into the fateful makeup of the last few pages in a major chapter of my life, and I can’t help but see my life from a documentarian’s perspective: every emotion, good, bad or sad, is imperative in telling this sliver of my story.

I know full well that my

pre-semester self was right.

I know I should relish even the negative emotions instead of wishing them away. Pretending like they didn’t happen is lying to yourself and cheapening your story. If I’m in the business of truth-telling, then I better get the facts straight in my own memories.

Right now, I’m both terrified and excited to graduate college. Every person who asks me about my future plans gets the full, unabridged answer: I’m not quite sure what’s going to happen after college, and I’m terrified by that thought.

But I know that I have a deep reservoir of learned knowledge thanks to the countless hours I’ve spent poring over libel cases, writing and rewriting, and cold calling sources with crossed fingers, hoping they’ll give me the time of day. I know that my passion for my field and decade’s worth of hard-earned work ethic will pay off more than my tragically average ACT score ever will.

Now if you don’t mind, I have to spit-shine my resume and dig up my job interview blazer.

October 17, 2018 | newsrecord.org SAMI STEWART | OPINION EDITOR PATRICK MURPHY | MULTIMEDIA DIRECTOR Sami: Following The New York Times’ bold decision to publish an anonymous opinion piece written by someone from within the federal government, it’s important — now more than ever — to evaluate the upsides, downsides, rights and wrongs of using anonymous sources.

Several brave journalists have gone to great lengths to protect the identities of their sources. Even when the provided information was essential for Americans

to know, these writers and reporters faced trials, jail time and shame for keeping their sources’ identities secret.

It’s clear that America would much rather rat out the naysayer than listen to what they have to say, even if that means getting the inside scoop.

Anonymous sources shouldn’t be punishable, or even looked down upon.

It’s not cowardly to publish the truth without a name.

I would much rather see the truth exalted without attribution than go blindly about my business when

Should your right to anonymity be outlawed? WIKIMEDIA

OPINION

Anonymity

there’s new information to be had.

No matter that revealing the author’s name could endanger them — after all, we want to know whose opinions are infringing on our fragile, uninformed beliefs! But what’s even more sensitive than a biased, ignorant mind is the nameless author’s situation. They are likely in a position to lose their job, credentials or security by proudly pinning their name to a piece that cast light on a dirty, cobwebbed corner of our society.

Some prefer to shame a source for their bravery instead of trying to understand a different perspective. Information of all kinds — different, controversial, sensitive — should be held in the

highest regard, far above America’s thirst to shame the bearers of good, bad and ugly news.

Patrick: Anonymity blinds all of us from looking at each other as humans, warping each of us into the abstract.

On the darker side of the internet, anonymous groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the so-called alt-right hid behind the privilege of an anonymous label, peddling hatred until it became their personal anthem.

But without anonymity, would the people behind these screens have the courage to voice their beliefs? Would they do it if they saw the faces of the people they claim to hate?

I would love to say that this specific type of anonymity ends online. But whether

Page 10 it’s the rise of Richard Spencer’s popularity or the violence seen in Charlottesville, these voices are breaking free from their anonymous cultures.

I grappled with the question of whether anonymity should be outlawed. Our own state of Ohio made its decision in 1995 with the McIntyre v.

Ohio Elections Commission court decision, which made silencing anonymous political or campaign literature illegal.

“Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority,” the ruling reads.

“To protect unpopular individuals from retaliation … at the hand of an intolerant society.”

In 2017, I saw that the voices of the minority wield power, and I recognized a need for the majority to remove anonymity from hateful content.

I say this, because I truly believe it comes down to this analogy: should the hooded, anonymous executioner flip the switch?

Or should the judge, who will hear the last words of the ones sentence, pull the lever instead?

The man who mistook his wife’s activism for a MAGA hat PATRICK MURPHY | MULTIMEDIA DIRECTOR Kanye West hasn’t gone crazy, but he also hasn’t communicated his ideas with 100 percent clarity.

In meeting with President Donald Trump this week to voice his “superman” inspiration from the “Make American Great Again” hat, West has not only distorted his and Kim Kardashian West’s activism of prison reform — he has warped what it means to be a man.

It makes writing this that much harder. But I do believe West has a consistent message he’s trying to communicate — one he hasn’t expressed in the unsensational way that emphasizes West’s message over the sound of his own voice.

Let’s take it back to Sept. 30 of this year when

West tweeted that the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery except as punishment for criminals, should be abolished.

A forceful statement, sure — but one that famously brought the wrath of both singer Lana Del Rey and actor Chris Evans. West relented, tweeting that he meant to suggest an amendment due to the disproportionate number of black people in prison and the subsequent slave labor they experience while incarcerated.

West’s meeting with Trump attempted to advance this message by discussing “stop-and-frisk” reform in Chicago along with clemency for Larry Hoover, who allegedly organized an illicit $100 million drug operation while advocating education reform in poor

neighborhoods.

It’s a message Kim Kardashian West successfully advanced through Trump’s pardon of Alice Marie Johnson, a black woman who received a life sentence for selling cocaine — a first-time, nonviolent drug offense.

But instead of making his message the focal point when cameras were rolling, West talked about himself once again — how he doesn’t have a lot of “male energy” around him, how Hilary Clinton’s message of “I’m with her” didn’t connect with him and how wearing the MAGA hat gives him a “superman” mentality.

Personally, it’s hard to hear about male energy as a reflection of Donald Trump’s presidency. It’s an energy defined and shaped by a warped, alpha-male

mentality that speaks with inflated confidence — a form of arrogance that falls in line with West’s “lead with the heart and ignore the head” mindset.

But where is the male energy that leads with the heart and follows with the head? Where is the male courage to ask more questions instead of making bold statements? Where is the male confidence that encourages moments of vulnerably to enhance individual strength?

At first, I disagreed completely with everything West said. But unlike Mr. West and his idol Trump, I took the time to hear it. I listened more than I wanted to, but I consider myself a better man because of it. No hat or ideology can give you that — only you can.
