The Cincinnati Police Department launched an investigation Monday, March 29, about a car accident involving a University of Cincinnati Police Division officer. The review of Officer David Freudiger’s cruiser onboard dashboard camera footage, however, shows no data recorded on the disc. It is also unclear as to why the airbags in the police cruiser, which sustained considerable damage, did not deploy during the impact. Freudiger was released from the hospital Monday with a head laceration. His X-ray results are not yet available.

Currently, no disciplinary action has been taken.

The accident, which occurred Sunday, March 28, at the intersection of Reading Road and Martin Luther King Drive, occurred while Freudiger was responding to a call. Freudiger was traveling eastbound on Martin Luther King with his lights and sirens engaged and crashed into an unidentified woman’s car driving northbound through a green light on Reading Road. Both Freudiger and the woman were taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. index

ncoming students at the University of Cincinnati are getting a $15-million welcome gift: lab renovations.

Plans for bringing in modern equipment and changing the lab organization are aimed to foster a curriculum that allows students to do more experiments, instead of working heavily on analyses.

Currently, approximately 20 contractors — including a group hired expressly to schedule the work — are working on the renovations, which are scheduled to be completed Friday, Sept. 10.

All together, three freshman labs and two organic chemistry labs are set to be gutted and rebuilt from the ground up.

Due to the current setup, which was relatively unchanged for decades, a major overhaul was overdue, said Patrick Limbach, chemistry department head.

“The current laboratory space is functional, but it is limiting,” Limbach said. “It limited what you could teach students.”

The need of contemporary technology was also a factor — better communication and wall-to-wall hoods (which allow for more time experimenting). It also improved aesthetically, Limbach said.

Maneuvering the class enrollment also required extensive work, said Bruce Ault, a chemistry professor.

“We got everyone in,” said Ault, who has been a member of UC’s chemistry faculty for 34 years. “The way we did it, though, was challenging.”

Members of the chemistry faculty had to shift class sizes to make up for the space being renovated — which is currently a hard-hat area.

The money, which is being supplied by both McMicken College of Arts and Sciences’ Dean’s Office and the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost, will also go to benefit organic chemistry labs in Rieveschl Hall. see chem | page 2

hands on approach The two organic chemistry labs will be equipped with wall-to-wall hoods, which will allow students to do more experiments in class in an all-around safer environment.

A program established by the University of Cincinnati that supports Gen-1 students has recently received the largest donation in its short history.

The Gen-1 House, which was constructed in 2008, is located in Stratford Heights and provides a structured, monitored off-campus environment for first-year, firstgeneration college students from low-income families. It also provides services such as financial aid advising, tutoring, cultural and social programs and academic monitoring.

The program was given a $165,000 donation announced on March 25 from Ron McSwain, chairman of the Insured Success foundation and owner of local business McSwain Carpets and Floors.

The largest previous donation was $24,000 from the Virginia R. Murphy foundation.

The mission of the Insured Success foundation is to provide personal support and housing for foster children seeking a post-secondary education.

“We discovered the Gen-1 program at UC,” McSwain said. “And quickly realized this was a program with a proven track record and a structure we could support.”

The gift will also allow for continued support for the Gen-1 house in the future, McSwain said.

“It provides both the encouragement and discipline to help students who need help to succeed,” McSwain said.

The environment is organized at the house in hopes of facilitating an atmosphere conducive for the students to live and learn.

“Our pledge created a partnership, and with enthusiasm among UC’s leadership, we will insure support for Gen-1 into the future,” McSwain said.

The donation will have a substantial impact on the program, said Steffi Cappel, executive director of the program.

The money will be used to continue providing financial assistance to students involved as well as helping pay the salary of program coordinators.

“Some of the rest of the needs come from the pockets of staff,” Cappel said.

The program has been receiving national attention for its efforts, including from NBC, which is visiting campus Tuesday for a story on the house.

“They’ll be staying on campus, and we’re working with them on following some of the Gen-1 students to their classes,” Cappel said.

Cappel says other institutions should adopt the programs uniqueness and purpose in support of first-generation students.

McSwain feels positive about the future of the Gen-1 program at UC. “Being involved with Gen-1 and the great people we have met at UC confirms we have made the correct decision,” he said.

“It provides both the encouragement and discipline to help students who need to succeed.”

Success stirs up large demand for UC logo, gear CHELSEY BILLOCK the news record

Recent successes by the University of Cincinnati football team have more people scrambling to be a seen as a Bearcat.

UC’s Trademark and Licensing office is working to protect the name and reputation of the university and how it is represented.

The office is in control of aspects regarding the licensing on all university logos.

Gross income for licensing broke

“You name it. If it is a big name company UC probably has a license for it.”

—MARTIN LUDWIG,

ON L IN E www.newsrecord.org

DIRECTOR OF TRADEMARK AND LICENSING FOR UC

the $500,000 mark in the past year. The amount has seen growth in the past three years from approximately $447,000 two years ago, said Martin Ludwig, director of trademark and licensing for UC. More than 260 companies like Adidas, Jansport, Top of the World, Under Armour and Nike have a license to use the Cincinnati logo.

“You name it. If it is a big name company UC probably has a license for it,” Ludwig said. “As long as we continue to grow as a college, people will continue to support the university.”

Visibility has an effect, too.

Not only do football games bring in more people than basketball, they can become a daylong event when tailgating is taken into consideration. Football season is also in better climate, allowing people to walk to retail stores and buy the products to wear to tailgating events, Ludwig said.

The Trademark and Licensing department tracks the statistics through gross license income. For instance, when Nike sells apparel to Dick’s, the university receives 10 percent of the retail price in the form of royalties.

“We have definitely seen an increase since the football team has been doing better,” said Jodi Glay, a DuBois Bookstore manager. “[We had] a great increase in November and December in the store and on the Web site. More national sales than Cincinnati usually sees from the Web site.”

“We really can’t prepare for the increase,” Glay said. “You just don’t know, they could have lost the last three games, or they could have gone all the way. We do inventory every four weeks instead of six to eight to review everything faster.

Vendors have ‘if-win’ scenarios, like if they win they send it, if not they don’t.”

DuBois is planning for spring. T-shirts with football schedules printed on them and another football shirt are in stock. All other football gear is scheduled to arrive in April to gear up for the spring game.

“It is tough to say that there will be a significant increase over next couple years,” Ludwig said. “[In] half the year we are at 88 percent of last years royalties. We are in more retail companies so it is easier for customers to get products.”

As buildings on campus age, the university is switching its focus from construction to renovation.

Valerie Hardcastle, dean of A&S, made it a priority to bring science laboratories up to date when she accepted the position, saying she would become dean under the condition that money would be allocated to upgrading science labs, Ault said.

Installing technologically advanced equipment is also going to update utilities of the building, rendering a room originally designed to contain mechanical equipment obsolete. It is, instead, being emptied and transformed into a student lounge after more deconstruction.

There are also plans for biology laboratories to be renovated in a similar fashion in the future.

“We finally can provide students with a modern laboratory,” Limbach said.

“They deserve it.”

Schneider competed in two other events at the NCAA championship: the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard freestyle.

In qualifying for the 100-yard butterfly, Schneider tied University of Georgia swimmer Mark Dylla for the eighth and final spot in the finals with a time of 46.38.

The two competed for the eighth spot with a swim-off, in which Schneider came up just short. He clocked in with a school-record 46.34, but Dylla finished with a time of 46.29 to earn the last spot in the finals.

“Hats off to [Dylla],” Schneider said. “He beat me; I didn’t beat myself and have no regrets about it. He just out swam me and had crisp technique to get me on the last stroke. All I can do is live and learn.”

It wasn’t all bad for Schneider, as he qualified for the consolation finals and took first place later in the day.

The 100-yard freestyle was the final event for Schneider at the NCAAs. Another school record fell as Schneider swam a 42.44 in qualifying, topping his previous record of 43 seconds, good enough for the eighth spot of the finals.

He swam 42.68 in the finals and finished

sixth, which earned him his second AllAmerican selection this season, his other coming in the 50-yard freestyle.

Overall, Schneider broke seven UC records at the 2010 NCAA Championships and showed improvement in all his times since the Big East Championships in February.

“It’s about focusing, learning and never being content,” Schneider said. “You have to find out what is working and improve on it. Coach could see it in me this year that this is what I wanted to do.”

In what could only be called a historic and memorable senior year, Schneider couldn’t have closed his career a better way.

“It took a lot of self-discipline and support to get where I am,” Schneider said. “It’s still surreal, but this got my name out there. I feel like I went from just being a fast swimmer to being an Olympic contender. Now I know that my Olympic dream is 100 percent realistic.”

Schneider says he will take very little time off before getting back in the pool. He plans to spend the summer in Cincinnati where he will prepare for his drive toward making the U.S. national team.

UC STUDENT STANDS UP FOR EQUAL RIGHTS

“My parents taught me to stand up for the underdog. I believe that it’s the responsibility of the privileged to stand up for the oppressed. And that’s what I do.”

—erin kelly

Straight student activist fights for LGBTQ community Marielle Murphy the news record

Amid all the music, the yelling and the carrying-on of the Alliance meeting, Erin Kelly is calm. She’s sitting quietly, leaning back, her feet up on the table. In this moment she is relaxed and happy; she is proud to be here.

The meeting begins with an ice breaker and news from the members and chairs.

Finally, it’s Kelly’s turn to get up and speak.

As she does, the 5’1” blonde commands the attention of the room; her deep voice is an unexpected match for her tiny frame. But her power is more likely because her enthusiasm and energy are contagious. She’s very serious, discussing the event “Love is for Everyone,” which took place Feb. 10 and Feb. 11.

The purpose of the event was to help Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender students remember Valentine’s Day is for every couple, straight or gay. The University of Cincinnati Alliance and College Democrats hosted tables around campus; volunteers sold baked goods, flowers and pro-LGBT attire.

All of the profits will be donated to the Haitian Gays and Lesbians Alliance.

Kelly is “a victory lap senior,” (fourth-year) political science and women’s, gender and sexuality studies student, is determined. Someone who is passionate.

Someone who sure as hell is not giving up. Ever.

“I guess it all started with how I was raised,” Kelly said. “My parents taught me to stand up for the underdog. I believe that it’s the responsibility of the privileged to stand up for the oppressed. And that’s what I do.”

Recently married, Kelly, a straight, 24-yearold woman is standing up for the rights of her equals: members of the LGBT community.

Kelly began attending UC one and a half years ago when she recognized her passion for human rights. Around that time, a hate crime against a gay man occurred directly adjacent to campus.

“I began to feel angry,” Kelly said. “Not only did I feel anger towards the incident itself, but anger at myself for failing to be as active as I could be.”

That was when Kelly realized advocacy was her calling; it’s what she was meant to do in life.

And so she has, in many ways.

“As a member of the UC community, I feel that it is my responsibility to do my part to foster and strengthen a visible, welcoming and active queer community on campus,” Kelly said.

Kelly has been involved in many events in addition to “Love is for Everyone.” She is most proud taking part in the organization of Cincinnati’s part of the national Kiss-In, her organization of a day of silence and a flash mob in response to Question 1 in Maine. She also attempted to get Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays accepted on UC’s campus.

(It didn’t get accepted, officials said it was too similar to Alliance, but Kelly says they are repealing that decision.)

Probably the most memorable action she has taken, though, was her participation in the Oct. 11, 2009 National Equality March in Washington, D.C. About a month before the march, Kelly and her friends made the bold decision to travel to Washington, D.C. “My friends and I wanted to be a part of something that will one day be remembered as a pivotal moment in the queer rights movement,” Kelly said.

Wearing a rainbow wrap-dress, Kelly excitedly drove the 10 hours surrounded by three gay men. Kelly was the only straight person and the only woman on the trip.

“You know, it’s funny,” Kelly said. “I was absolutely exhausted from the drive there; I could barely move. But when I walked there and saw all of those people, the energy was just so incredible. I mean, passion was radiating from these people. It was awe-inspiring. I could feel the unity.”

The memorable day was also an emotional one.

“It was so cool ­— just very, very cool,” Kelly said, tears in her eyes. “Thousands of people were chanting and marching with their fists in the air. And it was so powerful.”

An estimated 200,000 people attended the march; only 20,000 people were expected.

“This demonstration was like history in the making,” Kelly said. “This could be part of our history. It’s only one step, but it was such a huge step. It garnered so much attention, so much more than we expected.”

Currently, Kelly is working with Blake Jelley (UC Alliance secretary and a close

personal friend) members of GenderBloc, Xavier students, and Equality Ohio as they put together this year’s CAUSE Conference, which will be hosted by UC in April. She has also decided to run for president of Alliance for the 2010-11 school year. Kelly’s interest in human rights is also steering her toward law school.

“Once I have my Juris Doctor, I’d like to offer my legal skills to both individuals as well as non-profit organizations with cases concerning LGBTQ rights,” Kelly said.

“There is a high need for lawyers and other legal personnel to assist with these types of cases. They’re usually pro-bono due to lack of funding — therefore I’ll more than likely be one of those poor lawyers.”

Even though she might just be “one of those poor lawyers,” she’s ecstatic to be helping those who need it by doing what she loves.

“Erin is passionate,” says Kelly’s good friend and fellow UC Alliance member, Vineet Sathe. “Passionate not only towards the people she loves, but for the happiness and good will of all people. Erin is dedicated. With ill feelings toward our country for the wrongs

they present, she is dedicated to making them right. Erin is a role model.”

Kelly’s friends and family describe her as funny and sarcastic, strong willed, someone with an extremely strong personality who cares about others as much, if not more, than herself.

“Straight individuals who support and also fight alongside LGBTQ students not only help make us a populous body but set an example for other heterosexuals and persuade them that it is okay to join the fight without appearing gay,” Sathe said. “Erin Kelly is a strong example of said individual.

People like Erin make a profound impact in aiding our struggle.”

Kelly’s mentality is that happiness and equality for all is not out of reach. She says it’s up to individuals to make a difference, and that making a difference is definitely possible.

“I mean, it’s really quite simple,” Kelly said. “It’s about equality; it’s about the human race. That’s what it comes down to: the human race. It’s about making this world a better place for everyone. It can happen and it will.”

care will only affect insurers, and ending exemptions based on pre-existing conditions will only affect the few Americans unlucky enough to face such horrible restrictions.

However, there are several things that will affect Americans, including University of Cincinnati students. First, there is a change in how long children can stay on their parents’ health care plans. In the bill, the age is being bumped up to 26. Not only will this delay any financial burden that can come from paying for health insurance, but it will also keep low-risk, healthier people in the health care pool for longer, potentially keeping costs down.

The next example won’t begin until 2014, but it will radically alter how America manages health insurance. That piece of reform is the addition of national exchanges. Under this program Americans, specifically employers that want to trim costs, will be able to use the exchange to pick from a wide variety of government-regulated insurance plans. The competition should inspire lower costs and cleaner practices, and it will make it a lot easier for Americans to pick the perfect plan.

For those that have their own health care plans, they’ll see some positive reforms too. In fewer than 90 days, the law will make it illegal for insurance companies to impose lifetime limits on coverage and also make it illegal for companies to take away coverage from someone filing a claim.

Then, starting in 2011, insurance companies will have to justify any rate hikes to the government, and if the justification isn’t legitimate in the eyes of reviewers, the hike will be called off. Finally, in 2014, it will be illegal for insurance companies to impose any annual limits on coverage.

If all that doesn’t seem enough, the signed law has some reforms that have little to do with health care but will still help students. A student loan reform was passed with health care in the reconciliation package. In simple terms, this reform allows the government to make direct loans to students trying to pay for college. In theory, this should cut down on some unfair bank practices, like raising interest rates on student loans with no real justification.

At the end of the day, it seems like Americans have a lot to look forward to with the recently passed law. It might not be everything both sides wanted, but if one looks at the numbers and the benefits, it seems like the only ones who will be complaining will be insurers. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

MARCH

Has anyone shopped the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection?

Yeah, me neither.

Considering the huge success of the Rodarte for Target collection that came before Gaultier, I was pretty stoked. I bought several pieces from Rodarte — they were beautiful and looked like something I, under normal circumstances, wouldn’t have been able to afford without Target’s mainstream prices.

I bought the long-sleeve mustard lace cardigan when it was available. I get more compliments on it than any other garment in my wardrobe.

So, when the fashion blogosphere started gossiping about Gaultier working on a collection for Target, I’m not going to lie, a chill ran up my spine and I forgot to breathe for just a second.

I waited and waited for someone to leak at least a few pieces. I was twitchy. My skin itched. I felt like a crack addicted. I needed a taste of what to expect.

And then, one day while reading my RSS feed, I saw it. A headline boasting a site (unfortunately I don’t remember which Web site it was) that had a slideshow of select pieces was posted.

I clicked with reckless abandon through the five or six pictures. When I had made it to the end, to say I was relatively underwhelmed and disappointed would be a gross understatement.

I forgot about the collection until I saw Target employees unloading the collection and stocking their displays with screen printed shirts open on the sides that tie on the bottom and tattoo-printed mesh leggings.

There are only two pieces worth mentioning on a positive note.

The first is a floral-printed dress with a rolled collar and capped sleeves. It has structure but looks effortlessly chic and fun. Not something that’s easy to accomplish. Although the description of the dress on Target’s Web site says it’s great for a corporate-style atmosphere, the dress could translate perfectly into just about any situation — work, party or a fun spring and summer dress for a shopping trip downtown or at Findlay Market.

The second garment again comes from the dresses. It’s the mustard yellow halter dress. It’s an effortless and flirty dress, perfect for a comfortable day in class or a summer stroll, well, pretty much anywhere. The color is bright enough that you don’t really have to worry about accessorizing (Although you definitely want to edit what you decide to pair with the dress.

I wouldn’t opt for the tattooprinted long-sleeve T-shirt Target styled it with on its Web site.)

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target debuted in select Target stores on March 7. During spring break, as a Target junkie, I visited at least three different stores.

(I was in different parts of the state. It only seemed right to pay each store homage by shopping their clearance racks.)

At each of those locations, the Gaultier clothes remained largely untouched. By the first week of a designer collection for Target, the pickings are pretty slim. But, after three weeks, the merchandise doesn’t seem to be moving.

It’s not a surprise if you take a look at what Gaultier has to offer Target’s customers.

The designs are not tailored for Target’s mainstream audience.

They look like they borrowed much too heavily from the ’80s and Hot Topic.

Gaultier’s inspiration for the collection was to put a French twist on American pop culture. I think he nailed it, but I think he nailed it for the wrong decade.

In the inspiration video on Target’s Web site, Gaultier says he was inspired by rebellious rock and roll as a model dances across the screen in an outfit probably pulled right out of Madonna’s music video “Like a Virgin;” as if he went back in time and decided to shoot the video somewhere in France.

In all, the collection doesn’t deliver and isn’t worth the hype.

Gaultier is a big name with big ideas and big fashion.

And Gaultier’s Target collection is certainly big, too.

A big mistake.

Gaga for Gauliter’s Target collection? Can’t stand the stuff? We want to hear from you.

ealth care reform is done.

After a long, sketchy process, liberals can finally claim victory.

If recent polls are any indication, the country is divided about what to think of the reform. And that will probably get worse as partisan pundits fire on both sides.

Even though Americans are largely tired of the debate, most people are wondering what is actually in the reform. Is it as invasive and expensive as conservatives say or as far-reaching as liberals hope?

So far it seems that both sides are off, with conservatives making the wilder claims.

For starters, there is no government takeover of health care in this bill. There’s not even a public option, much to the dismay of some progressives. In the end, insurance companies will still own the market; they’ll just face more regulations and competition.

When it comes to costs, conservatives are again wrong. The bill will actually save more money than it spends. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill will cut the deficit by $124 billion between 2010 and 2019, and show even higher savings in the following decades.

But what’s most important is how the bill actually does all of that. Throughout the past week, many Americans have been asking themselves how this bill will affect them. After all, the devil is in the details.

The good news is that a lot of the bill won’t directly affect most Americans. Spending controls that make insurance companies spend at least 80 to 85 percent of premiums on actual health

“

It is such an accomplishment and a relief. It’s really hard to put into words.

—JOSH SCHNEIDER, UC senior swimmer

F

Tom Skeen the news record

or the first time since 1946, the University of Cincinnati can boast a national champion in swimming.

Senior Josh Schneider swam a school and personal record 18.93 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle to edge out the University of California’s Olympic gold medalist Nathan Adrian to win the national championship Friday, March 26, in Columbus.

“It’s something you dream about,” Schneider said. “With all the hard work and mental stress that goes into it, for my dream to come true, it is such an

accomplishment and a relief. It’s really hard to put into words.”

Schneider became UC’s fourth individual national champion, the second in swimming.

After qualifying third with a time of 19.07 seconds, Schneider was able to improve upon his time by almost .2 seconds to complete the race in less than 19 seconds for the first time in competition.

Schneider swam a 9.27 in the first 25 yards, which was identical with Texas’ Jimmy Feigen and trailed Adrian by .07.

After they made the turn, Schneider swam the final 25 yards in 9.66 seconds compared to 9.81 by Feigen and 9.82 by Adrian to earn the victory.

“The whole thing is kind of surreal right now,”

”

Schneider said. “Everything we put into this is just for a chance [at a title] and for the work to pay off. It is very self-rewarding and good for everyone involved.”

While the start of the meet was delayed one day due to 18 student athletes and one coach being affected by a gastrointestinal illness, Schneider was able to avoid the sickness and compete as scheduled and didn’t let the delay affect his routine and preparation.

“When I was behind the blocks my heart wasn’t pounding and my hands weren’t shaking,” Schneider said. “But when I stepped onto the blocks my knees were shaking like crazy, but I had to stop my mind and get it clear and focused. It worked out and I felt pretty calm and collected.” see champion | page 2

Cincy still searching for first Big East win Sam weinberg the news record

Elusive first win Head coach Lellie Swords and the University of Cincinnati lacrosse team are 0-10 all-time against Big East teams. Junior Natalie Starvaggi scored three goals in UC’s 13-9 loss to Louisville March 30.

Beginning conference play of the 2010 season, the University of Cincinnati lacrosse team couldn’t extend its two-game winning streak Tuesday, March 30, after losing to Louisville 13-9.

The Bearcats, who finished 0-7 in league play last season, are still looking to capture their first conference win since the team’s inception in 2008.

“I think we gave a good effort,” said Cincinnati head coach Lellie Swords. “I think that we made some mental errors that we wish we could get back and that we need to continue to learn from.”

The Bearcats were outplayed offensively, out shot by the Cardinals 21-to-33 as well as securing only eight draw controls to Louisville’s 16.

The Bearcats also had trouble capitalizing on extra-man opportunities, not scoring a goal on their five tries, four of which came in the second half.

“We need to be disciplined and make better decisions,” Swords said. “We need to make better decisions with the ball and finish shots when we have them.”

The Cardinals’ shooters started off the first half strong, scoring six goals on their first 12 shots, including three within the game’s first four minutes.

Led by freshman midfielder Maddie Fink and her pair of first-half goals, the Bearcats trailed Louisville 5-9 at halftime.

Cincinnati drew first blood in the second half, scoring in the half’s first three minutes. But with every Bearcat goal, Louisville (5-3, 1-1 Big East) answered with one of its own.

With the Bearcats trailing by just three goals with 12 minutes left in the game, the Cardinals scored two goals in less than a one minute span to put the game out of reach for UC. “We just need to keep learning with each game that we have,” Swords said.

Junior midfielder and team captain Natalie Starvaggi led the Bearcats offensively with three goals while Fink and fellow freshman Katie Liberatore each scored two goals.

Bearcat sophomore midfielder and leading scorer Laura Simanksi recorded her 21st goal of the season, extending her point streak to 12-straight games. Simanksi also recorded one assist and four shots on goal.

The loss against the Cardinals brings the Bearcats to 0-1 in the Big East and 4-4 overall.

Next, the Bearcats will travel to Baltimore, Md., to take on the University of Loyola Greyhounds at noon, Saturday, April 3.
