UC HONORS STUDENT
Friends, family, peers remember Andrew Howell Jasmine evans | staff reporter Students, faculty and family gathered Wednesday evening at the University of Cincinnati’s CollegeConservatory of Music to remember the death of a student. A candlelight vigil was hosted in CCM’s Alumni Gardens to honor Andrew Howell, a UC student who fell from the roof of a building in Clifton. Howell, 20, a third-year horn performance student, grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and came from a musical background. His death Oct. 22 came as more than just a shock to those who knew him. “Andrew was really modest and probably one of the most talented people I’ve ever met,” said Stephanie Hollander, one of Howell’s classmates, during her speech. “Everyone looked forward to rehearsing with him because he was such a light.” Frank Weinstock, CCM interim dean, also spoke at the vigil. “We are family, friends and musicians,” Weinstock said. “We need families always, but especially at times like this. Andrew’s death was more
than a shock to me because it didn’t really seep in until I started talking with other people.” Randy Gardner, a horn studio professor, also offered a few words about Howell’s impact. “He was a truly wonderful gift to us all and a joy to teach,” Gardner said. “He would always come in enthusiastic and uplifting, which was
definitely contagious. I give thanks that he was able to be a part of my life.” Horn performance students played a piece in Howell’s memory before students, faculty and family members gathered in the Baur Room, where a slideshow presentation was shown as a final sendoff to all who knew Howell.
HOUR OF MOURNING The remembrance was filled with good memories and grieving tears. Attendees recalled Andrew Howell’s bright personality and uplifting spirit.

Andrew Lynch was known by friends as always having a story to tell or something to do. He loved music and was loyal to friends.
Andrew Lynch, a third-year electronic media student, died unexpectedly Oct. 25. He was 20 years old. While his fellow students and professors might have known him as a quiet classmate, Lynch’s multitude of friends will remember him as anything but. “He was someone that you were excited to see, because you knew that he would have something fun to do or have a story to tell,” said Nick Moeggenberg, a friend and a fourth-year marketing student at UC. Other friends remembered the good times with Lynch. “We always wanted to have fun,”said Chris Anderson, another friend. “We didn’t know what we were going to do, we never planned anything, didn’t think about the consequences — and we always had a good time.” Those who knew Lynch will remember him for his infectious smile, his love for music, his intelligence and his undying loyalty to his friends. “He was just my favorite person in the
world,” said Alexandra Hoosier, Lynch’s girlfriend. “If he had to lose everything, he would do it for you.” While at Loveland High School, Lynch played guitar and bass for several bands, including To Die In Arms and The Kicking Twenties. “He was an incredible guitarist who wrote amazing songs,” said Blake Hawk, Andrew’s former band mate and a third-year electronic media student. After earning his degree, Lynch dreamed of owning his own recording studio. “He was super outgoing, and always good at everything he did, whether it was music, skateboarding or even video games,” Anderson said. Lynch left a good impression, friends said. “All of the stories about him and times spent with him will make us always remember what a great guy he really was,” Moeggenberg said. Lynch is survived by his parents, Joe and Heather Lynch, and his siblings, Angela and Joseph.

A renowned sculpture at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning was reported missing last week. The sculpture, “Ethan,” was perched in the Grand Stairwell at DAAP since 2005, after former DAAP student Alan Marrero installed it. The sculpture is also a part of the university’s Fine Arts Collection. Marrero styled the sculpture — depicting a student wearing a hooded sweatshirt while working on his laptop — after his likeness and it has been a fixture since. In an e-mail to DAAP students and faculty, Anton Harfmann, DAAP associate dean, said the sculpture was taken sometime Thursday or Friday. “We are in the process of reviewing security tapes and gathering evidence, Harfmann wrote. If “Ethan” was stolen, fifthyear fashion design student Molly McMahon cannot see why. “It’s a selfish act of vandalism,” McMahon said. “To take something so iconic to DAAP and keep it for yourself.” Harfman wrote that removing sculpture would be considered vandalism and, at maximum, larceny. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact DAAP.
