The determination whether a particular action violates this policy will be made from the facts, on a case by case basis … Offensive conduct that does not rise to the level of harassment, however may be grounds for discipline under other applicable policies.”
“Rented textbooks now account for almost 20 percent of our unit transactions.” But some students are still unsatisfied with the prices of textbooks. “I think the expectations that college students should have the funds or means of purchasing such high-priced books is absurd,” said Jonathan Jennings, a fourth-year German studies student at UC. “When I first came to UC in 2007, the average price of a book was around $120. Now the average

The best way to save money when purchasing textbooks is to rent them, Gindele said. “Rental books are up to 50 percent cheaper than new books,” Gindele said. “If it is not a rentable title, then buying used and selling it back at the end of the quarter is the least expensive option.”

KING WOK:
King Wok delivered the freshest, most flavorful food in the taste category. Justright portions and seasonality played a big factor in them taking the top spot.

FROM SWING | 5 Hepcats president Aaron Sykes, a mechanical engineering student who led the event with his brother Bryan Sykes, called the night a great success. “Every Monday night, we have our weekly swing dance club,” Sykes said. “Normally, 30 to 40 people attend. It’s a lot different than our Monday night swing dance lessons because on Fridays, we see a lot of new faces who haven’t been dancing.” The Hepcats started their swing dance events five years ago. Aaron Sykes has been president for one year, and the program has flourished. In Fall quarter, attendance

Sykes said he is determined to keep the club “swinging.” The Hepcats host weekly Monday night meetings in the Tangeman University of Cincinnati atrium, which are free and open to the public — no partner is required to participate. They also have their own Facebook page with event announcements and links to online dance tutorials. Becca Refenes said she wasn’t expecting to have such a great time at Friday Night Live (FNL). “It was so much fun, and I really

We were minus-31 against them the last two years, so we weren’t going to let them beat us at the foul line, but we did in overtime.” This is the kind of loss that can be devastating to a team, but the Bearcats don’t have time to sulk, as they host one of the top teams in the country on Monday with Syracuse coming to Fifth Third Arena. With Saturday’s loss, the Cats fell to 15-5 overall and 5-2 in Big East play. They’ll put that record on the line Monday night at Fifth Third Arena, against a Syracuse team that took its first defeat of the season on Saturday. Game-time is set for 7 p.m.
