UCPD stands behind officer Hospital patient’s death raises questions about police procedure Gin a. ando the news record

Justin TEpE | the news record

University of Cincinnati Public Safety Director Gene Ferrara insists UC Police Division officers followed proper procedure when subduing a University Hospital patient Wednesday, Jan. 20. The patient died Saturday, Jan. 23.

During a press conference at the UCPD headquarters Tuesday, Jan. 26, Ferrara answered questions regarding the timeline and events that led up to Kelly Brinson’s death, who was on University Hospital’s eighth floor when the incident occurred.

The exact cause of death remains unknown.

The eighth floor is the hospital’s

psychiatric ward. The melee included five officers from the division and members of hospital staff and security.

Brinson was being led to a room for medical evaluation, and officers say he attempted to assault one of his escorts. After being initially subdued, Brinson “became violent” again in the examination room and officers, security and medical staff attempted to restrain him, Ferrara said.

During the struggle, officer Mark Zacharias pulled out his stun gun and attempted to shoot Brinson, but ended up having to situate the Taser manually to make contact with Brinson’s body, Ferrara said.

Zacharias’s report states Brinson attempted to “cause physical harm” by swinging his right fist.

Two UCPD officers were injured in the incident.

They were admitted to the hospital and did not sustain any lasting harm, Ferrara said.

Brinson’s case is still being investigated and UCPD is awaiting autopsy results as of press time.

Zacharias is on a paid administrative leave and could return to duty as early as Wednesday, Jan. 27, after Ferara receives proper permission from the police psychologist. Zacharias, formerly a UCPD security guard, was promoted to his current position six to eight months prior to the incident. He is making progress and Ferrara said he seems almost ready to return to service.

The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees met Tuesday, Jan. 26, to discuss UC affairs, including the newly appointed executive vice president.

Fred Reynolds will join UC beginning Monday, Feb. 1, as a staff employee reporting to President Greg Williams. Reynolds, who is coming from the City College of New York, has agreed to a $230,000 salary at UC. Reynolds was also approved for a faculty position as a professor in the English department.

Proudly Cincinnati and Student Government announced the Proudly Pennies initiative, which will add to the UC Foundation campaign to raise $1 billion by 2013.

The goal is to collect one billion pennies — equivalent to $10 million.

It is the highest campaign goal in the university’s history. It will be allocated to scholarships, research, faculty retention, university partnerships and student life.

The Board of Trustees further discussed the increased amount of applications for the incoming first-year class.

“We are up 12 percent, which is about 1,500 applications,” said Caroline Miller, senior associate vice president of enrollment management. “We’ll need to put in another 20,000 phone calls and e-mails before we reel in the class of 2010.”

Increased enrollment at Clermont College has created a dire need for more space. The university will lease office space at the vacant

Students win $10K for tax competition david schuler the news record

A crew of University of Cincinnati students has advanced as one of five national finalist teams in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) xTax competition — and secured a $10,000 cash prize in the process.

The team was selected from a pool of 885 teams from 79 college campuses across the country.

The xTax competition, short for xTREME taxation, was launched in 2002 and is designed to simulate the decision making process involved in solving real world tax cases.

The competition’s goal is to boost students’ interest in tax policy and dispel assumptions that the topic is boring or mundane.

“One of the reasons we started this competition was to get students excited about accounting and tax,” said Joe Waller, a tax partner in PwC’s Cincinnati office and a preliminary judge for the competition. Waller was tasked with deciding what UC team had the greatest chance of making the finals of the competition.

The team will travel to Washington, D.C., to present their case to a five-judge panel of PwC tax experts Friday, Jan. 29.

This year’s case study focused on health care and how it could affect corporations and the national tax code. Teams must address the scenario and present their solutions to the panel.

“Something that can really set a team apart is their chemistry together and how well they

support each other during the presentation and during the question and answer part of the competition,” Waller said.

The five members of team Make it Reign have been collaborating since October.

“We work well together, and the best part of this has been the camaraderie,” said Max Schneider, a second-year accounting student and team member.

Make it Reign will have to explain their position in a prepared pitch and then defend their ideas by answering questions from the judging panel.

The UC team will be competing against teams from Arizona State University, Baylor University, The Ohio State University and the University of Florida. see xtax | page 2

“I hate coming out of the game,” Roudebush said.

“I really hate getting a sub.”

Cincinnati head coach Jamelle Elliott loves the competitive fire Roudebush possesses, but worries that her team’s best player might be getting overworked.

“As we get later on in the conference year, playing those minutes adds up. It may not show up early on in the game, but late in a game it becomes a little more obvious,” Elliott said. “It’s something that I’m definitely concerned about.”

Elliott said having a player like Roudebush on her roster when she assumed the head coaching position made the transition to Cincinnati easier.

“It’s great to have a competitor, somebody who wants to take over a ball game,” Elliott said. “Whether she has a full tank of gas or not, she’s still giving her best. That’s something that, as a coach, you can really appreciate.”

But while Roudebush was used to leading by example, Elliott has challenged her this season to become a larger vocal leader for her teammates, a role she was originally hesitant to embrace.

“Anybody who has known me my whole life knows I’ve always been the silent type where I go out there and I lead by my actions. I’m not one to really

talk or be the [loud] kind of person to get the team pumped up,” Roudebush said. “I’ve never really had the motivation to do that, but with coach Elliott, I don’t really have a choice. But it’s a good thing.”

On the court, Roudebush is leading the Bearcats with 13.1 points per game this season.

In conference play, Roudebush has bumped her average up to nearly 17 points a night ­­— eighth highest in the Big East.

In her last two games, Roudebush has averaged more than 20 points, but the team is only 2-4 in the conference.

“If she doesn’t play well, there’s a good chance that we don’t win the ball game. I’m dependent on her for a lot,” Elliott said. “I’m just hoping that she can maintain what she’s been able to give me thus far this year.”

Roudebush hopes so, too. In fact, the senior would like to be able to give her coach even more during the final stretch of her final season.

“I want to try to become that one player that every other team has,” Roudebush said. “When the team needs a play and the team needs a basket [coach Elliott’s] going to want to look at me, and she’s going to be comfortable looking at me to do that.”

This is the third year the competition has taken place at the University of Cincinnati and the first time a team from UC has been selected as a national finalist.

“With only two weeks to complete your presentation, xTAX really puts your teamwork, communication and critical thinking skills to the test,” said Sarah Stenger, a third-year accounting student and team member.

The competition requires students to research the tax code, as well as the specific areas surrounding the case study.

The winning team will be designated national champions and will have their names inscribed on the xTax Hamilton Award (named for Alexander Hamilton) who served as

the first U.S. Treasury secretary and set the nation’s first tax policy.

The event is highly competitive and each team has only one opportunity to make its case.

The UC team says it has a quality presentation and is comfortable with what it has to offer in the finals.

Make it Reign is made up of Schneider; Robel Kidane, a third-year accounting student; Stenger, Kyle Quinn, a second-year accounting student and Janelle Wichmann, a second-year finance and marketing student.

“I’m pretty confident,” Schneider said.

“We aren’t going there to lose. We know we can win.”

Ford Plant on Route 32. Two floors will be used, one for Clermont and the other for main campus to the tune of $550,000, said Robert Ambach, interim senior vice president of Administration and Finance.

The investment return on the university’s endowment fund is not moving in the right direction, said Thomas Croft, chief investment officer of Administration and Finance.

Employers will cut back college hiring by 7 percent in 2010, in addition to having reduced 21 percent in 2009, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers in a September report.

The Virtual Career Fair has experienced a decline in employer attendance since 2008, due in part to the economy, said Robin Broadnax, career fair coordinator at the Career Development Center.

“The state of the economy has played a major part in the number of employers participating in this career fair,” Broadnax said. “In 2008, we had 70 employers and, in 2009, there were 29 employers.”

This year there are only 14 employers registered for the Virtual Career Fair, an online 24-hour fair, hosted Feb. 1 to Feb. 8, that is free to students, Broadnax said.

The Recruit-a-‘Cat program, which brings employers to campus to interview graduating students and recent graduates for job positions, is experiencing the same effects as the career fair.

The CDC routinely contacts approximately 2,500 employers regarding Recruit-a-‘Cat, said Patti Carroll, an administrative support specialist with the Career Development Center.

page 1

Despite the winter Recruit-a-‘Cat effort, which began Jan. 11, the first company, Teach for America, doesn’t come to campus until Feb. 8.

“Many employers are conducting their budget planning right now and are not sure of what positions they will have available,” Carroll said. “It is still early in the quarter, and companies have until March 5 to schedule times with us.”

Despite the current economic climate, one local company is returning to participate in Recruit-a-‘Cat — the Cincinnati Reds.

They will be interviewing Feb. 12 for positions assisting in their promotional events and are focusing on communications, marketing and sports management students at UC. This is the third year of participation for the Reds, said Kathryn Braun, a marketing representative with the Reds.

“UC has its sports administration program and that’s what we really try to focus on in recruiting,” Braun said.

Braun said that besides UC, the only other schools that the Reds recruit at are Xavier University and Miami University.

$915 million, is down from recent years.

UC’s real estate partnerships and private equity holdings are two reasons the endowment has declined, Croft said.

“It is true we’re behind on a shortterm basis,” Croft said. “But the gap will naturally close.”

The university continues to work with loans for multiple projects including the Short Vine area, where it plans to erect a Hampton Inn. The Uptown Campus project is still at the top of the priority list.

UC GRAD ON HER CAREER AFTER “PROJECT RUNWAY”

I

tAYLOR DUNGJEN the news record

t was down to the final three. Althea Harper, Carol Hannah Whitfield and Irina Shabayeva lined the runway facing the four “Project Runway” finale

judges.

It was tense, quiet. Two words would be the culmination of the previous 14 weeks of hard work: stress and fashion.

It all came down to “you’re in” or “you’re out.”

“Carol Hannah, you’re out,” said Heidi Klum, supermodel and the host of “Project Runway.”

The finale was filmed months earlier, hundreds of miles away, but students at the University of Cincinnati were anxious, waiting in MainStreet Cinema to hear the results. Most of the viewers, if not all, were hoping Shabayeva’s name would be called next … And that she would be out.

What happened next, though, disappointed most of the crowd.

Shabayeva was in. Harper was out.

Was it disappointing? Sure. But there was a point during filming that Harper, a 2008 fashion design alumna from UC, wasn’t sure the show would ever air because of a

pending lawsuit filed by Bravo when “Project Runway” left the network for Lifetime.

Harper knew she was one of the final three contestants and would present a full collection at Fashion Week. To create her final 12-piece collection, the show would give her $9,000 to construct the garments. But because of the suit, the money didn’t come right away and she wasn’t sure it ever would. Without rent money, Harper had to leave Los Angeles and return to Oakwood, her hometown, a suburb of Dayton.

While she waited, Harper rented a cheap studio and worked odd jobs to keep her occupied and tight lipped.

Because the show hadn’t aired, she wasn’t allowed to reveal show details to anyone.

“It was really hard, I hated it,” Harper said. “I have a lot of pride in things and it was hard because I couldn’t tell my friends. People would say, ‘What are you doing?’ and I’d just [say], ‘Oh, I’m going to move to New York in a little bit, I just need to save money.’ ” The money came and Harper dove in, preparing the garments for her Spring/Summer 2010 collection — her first Fashion Week appearance and only her second showing.

Finishing the competition in second place didn’t stop Harper. It propelled her career and the show generated an increased interest in her work. Since the finale aired Nov. 19, Harper, in her leggings and knee-high boots, has been one busy woman with her mind on the future.

Harper is preparing to show her Fall/Winter 2010 collection at New York’s Fashion Week next month.

Her new collection, she says, is inspired by arts

futurism movement.

“A lot of my garments are very contoured to the body,” Harper said.

“I wanted to push that so it was really outlining the body … I think it’s going to be really cool.”

She’s been prepping for Fashion Week almost non-stop for the last several weeks, working on garments, and planning her show.

“When I left the show I knew I really wanted to show again at Fashion Week, but I want to do it my way,” Harper said. For “Project Runway,” Harper had to construct all of the garments without help –– no extra seamstresses or anyone who specializes in knits.

Now that she’s in charge of her collection and her show, she’s able to hire other people to construct while she focuses on the design.

“I’m more worried about design now,” Harper said.

Harper, who is living in New York City, is working on expanding her collection and establishing her brand, something she didn’t expect to do this early in her career.

“I don’t think I’d have the same support or be as confident if I hadn’t been on the show right out of college,” Harper said.

Although she’s busy working on her Fashion Week showing and freelancing for Tory Burch, Harper is still making time to return to Dayton.

Harper will be at the Dayton Art Institute Saturday, Jan. 30, to kick off Teen Project Runway, a fashion design class for designer hopefuls, teaching the basics of design and about finding inspiration. The class will meet weekly but with local designer Cassie Loper as the regular instructor.

The next day, Harper will showcase eight of her designs at A Cat Walk at the A-Cat-Emy Awards, at the Masonic Temple, across from the Dayton Art Institute.

“I’m where I want to be but nowhere near where I want to be,” Harper said.

“There’s a lot more that I want to accomplish.”

THE

FASHION

DUNGJEN taylor dungjen

Cincinnati offers unlikely fashion finds I do this thing where I listen to other people’s conversations when I am near them. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a problem — I’ve learned some interesting things about campus happenings and it’s actually led to a story or two on the news page.

Sure, there are times I hear things I’d rather forget — like the guy with a three-week old rash and the very confused and concerned first-year student, “How many guys do I have to sleep with before I’m considered a slut?”

(Can someone answer that question? Seriously.)

And sometimes I hear things that get me thinking and fired up. Last week I overheard two women in Tangeman University Center talking about Cincinnati’s lacking fashion scene. I didn’t catch the entire conversation, but it seemed their overall consensus and generalization was that they can’t wait to get the heck out of Cincinnati and b-line it to New York. In their eyes, Cincinnati’s fashion scene is dead and they’re sick of being surrounded by people who don’t dress well.

I can’t say that my idea of Cincinnati was much different when I started at UC. But at that point I felt determined to get out and explore, to see what was outside of the constraints of campus. I admit, the idea of leaving campus was kind of intimidating. I didn’t know where I was going, didn’t know what to expect or who I might encounter.

But, I did it. I mustered up the courage, asked my Cincinnati-native roommates to join me, and we explored. And when we did, I was surprised at what I saw.

There were independent boutiques out the wazoo and I could almost afford to shop at them. The people manning the stores were young, hip, trendy and had a pleasant personality that made shopping and visiting the stores more comfortable.

I started to feel a little bit better about Cincinnati. Year after year I’ve kept exploring areas around campus. At this point, I’ve cast inhibition aside and I’m willing to explore even the sketchiest neighborhoods just in case I’m missing out on something fantastic.

As I kept searching, I began to notice just how fabulous Cincinnatians are. Look around campus, for example. In the last three years, there has definitely been a positive shift in the ratio of people who couldn’t dress themselves well in Vogue’s fashion closet and people who could make anything look good. It would seem Cincinnati has caught the fashion bug.

I mean, in 2008, Esquire named Cincinnatian Kenyatte Nelson, a brand manager, as one of the most well-dressed “real men” in America.

Last season on “Project Runway” one of the contestants was a graduate of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Plannings fashion program. (You can see Althea Harper who made it all the way to Fashion Week, on page 3.)

Laura Dawson, who graduated from DAAP in 2002, was a contestant on Bravo’s reality TV show, “The Fashion Show.”

Whatever your fashion philosophy or personal aesthetic, there’s probably something in Cincinnati that fits your fancy.

(That will mean you have to look outside of the immediate borders of campus though.)

And if you really can’t find anything among the myriad of independent fashion boutiques to entertain your fashion whimsy, every year, during DAAP Works, the end-of-the-year senior showcase for DAAP students, graduating seniors in the fashion program produce an on-campus fashion show highlighting their work. Although I’ve never made it to the show, I’ve seen the pictures.

It’s worth the ticket price.

So you might argue that New York has Fashion Week.

Yeah, they do, but now so does Cincinnati. Cincinnati native and fashion designer Nathan Hurst is organizing the city’s First Week of Fashion. The show is being hosted April 19 to April 23. It’s a five-day extravaganza of local, high-end fashion and promotional events.

What more could you ask for?

It took me awhile to notice how abundant and unique Cincinnati’s fashion ideology is.

And true, Cincinnati isn’t New York or Milan or London. But isn’t that what makes it so great?

To prove Cincinnati is fashion savvy, I’m on a hunt for the most fashionable people on campus.

You can nominate yourself or someone you know who does it right, send me an e-mail with at least two pictures, your contact information, the nominees contact information and why you think the person you’re nominating has what it takes. Send information to thefashiondungjen@gmail.com.

Disaster areas still home for locals Maria Bergh

I remember someone asking me in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina why the United States would invest in rebuilding a place so obviously vulnerable. Everything had been lost: jobs, homes, streets, stadiums and hospitals. Why would a company rebuild its offices when, with its work force distributed to wherever they could find shelter, it was just as easy to relocate?

It seems that the process of rebuilding anything after an episodic natural disaster is a waste. It seems the most sustainable solution is to accept destruction, understand that this is neither the first nor the last catastrophe and move on.

Perhaps, if Americans are really rational and dedicated, we can salvage materials and convert the entire region into national wilderness. The reports of crime, contaminants and corruption in the news made the Gulf Coast seem ruined, just like the tsunamis or earthquakes that rocked parts of Asia into a wasteland. With Haiti, it seems it would be simpler to begin again.

It was one month after accepting an internship at Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders, a non-profit disaster relief organization started by Habitat for Humanity founder Millard Fuller, that I realized the irony and conceit evident in that attitude.

There is so much rational, logical truth to the idea that when a place is prone to disaster and destruction, one ought to move. But humans are not always rational. These places, far from being chosen arbitrarily, are home.

While there will always be a risk of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, tornados in the Midwest, earthquakes on the West Coast and tsunamis throughout the Pacific Ocean, the people who live there are not fools for living there.

Certainly life is easier where there is not a season of destruction, rare as those places are. Certainly more resources can be spent improving a city or life when it is not dedicated to reinforcing or rebuilding the same vulnerable places against the same imminent disaster.

Certainly each homeowner I talk to on the job says, “If this happens again,” with a doubtful tone and concerned look. Most of those here in

While there will always be a risk of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, tornados in the Midwest, earthquakes on the West Coast and tsunamis throughout the Pacific Ocean, the people who live there are not fools for living there.

Bridge City, Texas, where fewer than 20 homes went completely unscathed

by Hurricane Ike, say that they will have to move if it happens again.

Whatever the reason — money, will or age — some people cannot rebuild again. But those who sit on the poverty line probably cannot relocate, particularly when moving takes them beyond the support and strength of family and cultural ties.

The same will be true in Haiti. The World Food Program requires camps to be secure from riots before food is distributed to refugees. This means people must leave their neighborhoods, neighbors, homes and any buried belongings to live in tents or shanties.

There is little left for these people to lose besides their lives.

While there are real concerns as to the sustainability and safety of aiding people at the site of their loss, unsecured and uninsured against future disaster, can we instead ask the victims to act according to our convenience and cost savings? Can we ask them to relinquish their cultural home and memories alongside their demolished physical homes and belongings; pretending that insurance money will buy adequate replacements for a life lost in the rubble, mud and mold, replacing the old with something new, sterile and improved?

FOX News: Palin loses credibility german lopez

FOX News announced on Jan. 11, it would hire former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a regular contributor, leaving some Americans — although not nearly enough — wondering why FOX News would hire someone so obviously biased to work for a network that bills itself as “fair and balanced.”

In a perfect world, there would be some sort of backlash, but unfortunately, there was no shock. And it’s pretty hard to blame only FOX News. Palin has had a love affair with the media since she stepped onto the national stage. She has proven to be a ratings success no matter the audience. Liberals will tune in to see what they consider a train wreck and conservatives will tune in to see Bible Spice’s latest address.

As Palin gets a nearly free ride from the media, it’s obvious that ratings have completely trumped journalistic integrity. Some members of the media even have the audacity to claim they would seem biased or too harsh if they were to attempt to discredit Palin. But the job of the media is to report facts,

and asking hard questions shouldn’t been perceived as biased.

Fortunately, in recent interviews with former Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s one-time campaign manager Steve Schmidt, some of those facts have come out. On “60 Minutes,” Schmidt revealed Palin had no idea why her son Track was going to Iraq or who he was going to fight. At first, Palin insisted her son was going to be fighting because Saddam Hussein, not Osama bin Laden, directly caused 9/11. When she was corrected, she was unable to explain whom her son was fighting.

It gets worse. Palin completely misunderstood very basic concepts.

Palin was unable to understand why North and South Korea are separate countries, Schmidt said. In debate preparation, Palin had trouble differentiating the names of, at the time, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, which led to her constantly refer to Biden as “Obiden.”

Fortunately for Palin, she managed to fix this by referring to Biden as Joe, although one “Obiden” did slip out

during one of the vice presidential candidate debates.

To top it all off, even the news station that hired Palin has released some unglamorous facts about her.

Palin could not name the countries that are part of NAFTA, and she repeatedly identified Africa as a country to McCain/Palin campaign staffers, according to FOX News reporter Carl Cameron.

When someone is this unknowledgeable of even the most basic issues, that person should not be hired as a contributor to any news organization. Instead, when she does appear on air, Palin should be barraged with questions about these allegations, and these questions shouldn’t seem like an attack. A reporter has a responsibility to get the facts and ask the hard questions. If a vice presidential candidate cannot explain to a reporter whether Africa is a country or a continent, that person should never be chosen to fill the role, no matter what 30 percent of the country may think.

Besides, it’s not like Republicans lack viable candidates. Contenders like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Tim

Pawlenty are fairly intelligent people, and they are all slated to run in 2012.

They might not have the charisma and flare that comes with a conservative hockey mom, but that should be largely irrelevant to the media. In fact, if the media does want to seem fair and balanced, it should be making an attempt to hold all candidates, liberal or conservative, to some basic journalistic standard — asking the hard questions until reporters receive real answers, not politicial answers.

No one should get a free pass only because of popularity or ratings.

It would be great if none of this fell on deaf ears. As America approaches the 2012 elections, all news outlets should come out in full force to make sure all of the presidential candidates are knowledgeable and transparent. Maybe then Republicans can begin to build a real opposition to the Democrats. But if that doesn’t happen, America could one day wake up to a president who can’t find Africa on a map.

German Lopez is a third-year journalism student interested in world politics.

Crime decreasing for UC, nearby areas Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the Jan. 21 News Record article titled “UC Public Safety should cut crime.” Crime has been cut both on and off campus. For the year 2009, crime reports on campus decreased by 13 percent compared to 2008.

For the 12-year period between 1997 and 2009, crime on campus has decreased by more than 45 percent. More than 90 percent of all crimes reported on campus are thefts of property such as book bags, computers, etc., that were left in unattended/unsecured areas or in plain sight in automobiles parked in the garages. Taking simple precautions to protect personal property would further improve the crime numbers.

Letter to the Editor

The News Record founded in 1880

509 and 510 Swift Hall University of Cincinnati 45221-0135

Office phone 556-5900 Office fax 556-5922

The News Record, an independent, student-run news organization of the University of Cincinnati’s Communication Board, is printed during the school year every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, except holidays and examination periods, from its office located in 509 Swift Hall and is distributed to the UC community. The News Record distributes to more than 80 locations and has a weekly circulation of 22,500. One copy per person is free. Additional copies can be picked up at The News Record office for $1.

In the neighborhoods directly adjacent to the Uptown Campus — Corryville, Clifton, University Heights and Fairview — crime reports decreased 5 percent between 2008 and 2009. I don’t have data going back 13 years for the neighborhoods because that is not Public Saftey’s jurisdiction, but the last five years have shown an overall reduction in crime.

When referencing the crime alerts sent from UC spokesman Greg Hand, the article states, “word of mouth spreads news of other similar incidents that happen to students off campus.” This makes it appear these cases are in addition to on-campus incidents. Actually, most of the crime alerts are issued in response to off-campus crimes. Two robberies occurred on campus within several days during November, making it seem like UC had a crime wave, but that was an unusual occurrence and in both of those cases UCPD arrested the people involved.

As indicated in the article, when compared to other institutions located in urban environments with similar student populations, our crime rate compares favorably.

Obviously, we would all like to see no crime on or around campus, but unfortunately, there is no community that is without crime. That doesn’t mean we don’t work to continue to reduce crime.

Both the Cincinnati Police, who have the primary jurisdiction in the neighborhoods around campus, and the UC Police, who have primary jurisdiction on campus, work hard to address crime issues. We will continue to work toward a safe environment for our students, faculty and staff both on and off campus.

ANTICS

UC seeking back-to-back Big East victories

sam elliott

At this rate, no Big Dance for Bearcats

In his latest 2010 NCAA tournament projection, Sports Illustrated’s Andy Glockner predicts that the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team will make it into March’s Big Dance as a No. 12 seed.

ESPN’s “Bracketologist” Joe Lunardi has the Bearcats projected as a No. 11 seed.

Are these guys watching the same Cincinnati team I’m seeing?

The Bearcats are struggling.

They have yet to win a significant Big East road game.

Sure they went to Piscataway, N.J., and left with a win against Rutgers, but the Scarlet Knights are in the middle of an eight-game losing streak.

Even though any Big East win is nice, every team has beaten Rutgers so I don’t count that as a quality win.

For Cincinnati to live up to these projections, winning conference games on the road is an absolute necessity.

The Bearcats have five home games remaining, but only stand a legitimate chance at winning three of them. Both Syracuse and Villanova are just too good for UC to come away with victories.

So if Cincinnati wins the home games it’s supposed to against Providence, Marquette and DePaul, they’ll stand at 7-6 in the Big East.

Their five remaining road games will make or break the Bearcats’ postseason hopes.

Notre Dame, Connecticut and South Florida will want revenge for the losses they sustained at Fifth Third Arena. Earning wins in games at West Virginia and Georgetown might be asking this Cincinnati team to do too much.

If the Bearcats want to reach the No. 11 or No. 12 seed they’re currently projected, they’ll have to win at least three of those road games.

Honestly, I don’t see it happening. West Virginia and Georgetown are too good, and UConn and Notre Dame will be difficult to beat away from home.

This team seems destined for another March with no invitation to the Big Dance.

Lunardi said Cincinnati’s March fate might not be decided until the season’s final days.

If that doesn’t seal their fate as non-invitees, I don’t know what will.

Anyone who has watched the Bearcats’ last two seasons knows that the end of the season isn’t exactly when this team performs at its best.

End of season collapses have prevented Cincinnati from legitimate postseason play the last two years and at the current rate this season, we should be looking at a three-peat of disappointing seasons.

This team has been riding high on its potential and what it did in Maui for months.

Since we’ve reached Big East play, it’s clear that Cincinnati isn’t the team fans were hoping it would be.

Silly mistakes, costly turnovers and dreadful three-point shooting have kept the Bearcats from reaching the potential so many of us thought they had.

This season started with such promise for Cincinnati.

Making it to the finals of the Maui Invitational made fans everywhere bank on an NCAA tournament berth at season’s end.

Lunardi and Glockner are counting on the same Bearcats team that fared so well and wowed us all in Maui to show up the rest of the season.

But it hasn’t happened so far in conference play.

When Cincinnati lost back-to-back road games against Seton Hall and St. John’s, they essentially sealed their postseason fate.

Those losses are the reason the Bearcats now have to win three of their final five road games if they want to have any chance of dancing in March.

But who knows? Maybe Cincinnati will surprise me and win a couple of games I don’t think they can win.

Maybe Lunardi and Glockner are geniuses after all, and maybe Cincinnati will finally end its NCAA tournament drought.

But don’t count on it.

The way this team has been performing; especially on the road, Selection Sunday and March Madness will again come and go without Cincinnati onboard.

Think Sam’s wrong and the Cats will make it to the NCAA tourney this year? E-mail him at elliotsu@mail.uc.edu.

MAKE IT COUNT Head coach Jamelle Elliott and the University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team are 9-9 with nine regular-season games remaining.

The University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team travels to Chicago to take on DePaul Wednesday night. Both teams are 2-4 in the Big East and fighting for fifth place in the conference.

Cincinnati (9-9, 2-4 Big East) is coming off of a 64-47 win against Seton Hall. Center Michelle Jones put up 21 points and had nine rebounds to help UC outscore the Pirates 26-18 in the paint.

“If we are able to establish an inside game, I think it only helps our perimeter guys,” said head coach Jamelle Elliott. “It’s a lot easier to scout a team that just passes the ball around the perimeter and takes shots without looking to go inside. We definitely don’t want to be one dimensional and we haven’t been thanks to Michelle.”

For UC to be successful against DePaul, they need to do the same. Establishing Jones inside will free up the perimeter for open shots and create a balance for the UC offense.

Kahla Roudebush continues her successful senior season. She leads the team in scoring with 13.1 points per game and has carried most of

the scoring load in conference play. Her scoring average is 16.8 in the Big East, which also leads Cincinnati.

On the defensive end, the Bearcats need to limit mistakes so DePaul can’t exploit any of the Bearcats’ weaknesses.

“DePaul is the type of team that waits for you to make a wrong decision on defense and they expose it,” Elliott said. “We have to be really solid and try not to show many kinks in our armor – once you show a weakness, they do a good job of exploiting it.”

DePaul (13-7, 2-4 Big East) is coming off a 74-65 loss against Georgetown. They have three players averaging double digits in scoring led by Sam Quigley at 13.8 points per game.

With an ACL injury to guard Deirdre Naughton, Quigley has taken on a bigger role as primary scorer and also as point guard. She’s been playing up to 40 minutes a game.

“She’s been the most impressive player,” Elliott said. “She has to score, be the point guard, run the team and be the leader on the floor. She’s the one we’re really going to concentrate on.”

Tip off is set for 8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 27.

“If she doesn’t play well, there’s a good chance that we don’t win the ball game.

I’m dependent on her for a lot.”

ahla Roudebush doesn’t just play basketball — she runs marathons.

For more than two weeks, Roudebush hasn’t missed one moment of action for the University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team. She has spent no time on the bench during Cincinnati’s last four games, averaging 39.7 minutes per game in six Big East games this season, which is second in the conference.

“I feel sorry for that one person that’s ahead of me,” Roudebush said.

But don’t let that fool you. The Noblesville, Ind., native might be tired after game days, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. see Kahla | page 2

briefs jones poaches old cmu recruit

bearcats to play in texas vs . nation

logan hof induction postponed

Butch Jones needed to start recruiting quickly after being hired as head football coach at the University of Cincinnati.

Jones’ recruiting class became a little larger when quarterback Cody Kater verbally committed to UC, according to Brian Bennett of ESPN.com.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-hander originally committed to Central Michigan, but backed out to play for Jones in Cincinnati.

In his final two seasons at Montague High School in Michigan, Kater threw 63 touchdown passes and rushed for 25 more.

He threw only seven interceptions during his senior season and led the Wildcats to a 13-0 record.

Two former University of Cincinnati football players will participate in the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Challenge.

Safety Aaron Webster and defensive lineman Alex Daniels were selected to the roster of the Nation team, which will face a team of college football players originally from Texas at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, Saturday, Feb. 6.

Daniels finished the 2009 season with 11 tackles for loss and a team-high 8.5 sacks for the Bearcats’ defense.

Webster led the Cincinnati secondary with four interceptions last season, and his 69 tackles were the third-highest on the squad.

The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics announced Friday, Jan. 22, that the induction of former men’s basketball player Steve Logan into the James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame has been postponed.

Logan was scheduled to be inducted into the UC Athletics Hall of Fame Friday, Feb. 19, but per his request the event will be conducted at a yet-to-be-determined future date.

Logan was charged with strong-arm rape and gross sexual imposition following an Aug. 2, 2009, incident involving two women.

“I do not want to draw any attention away from the ceremony or the other inductees,” Logan said.
