Student body president, V.P. candidates debate Jason Hoffman | Senior Reporter Candidates for Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president presented their platforms to approximately 50 students in the Tangeman University Center atrium Tuesday afternoon in hopes of gaining supporters before next week’s elections. The debate consisted of Hagerty/Linger (Slate 41) and Shannon/Hart (Slate 71). Slate 41 is headed by Alan Hagerty, SGA presidential candidate and fourth-year engineering student and Michael Linger, vice presidential candidate and fourth-year engineering student. Slate 73 is made up of Bryant Shannon, presidential candidate and fourth-year marketing student and Lane Hart, a thirdyear information systems and finance major. Hagerty was awarded the debate’s first response after winning a coin toss refereed
by the mediator and SGA advisor, professor Ric Sweeney of the College of Business. First, Sweeney asked the candidates to outline their plans to work towards the UC 2019 initiative. Hagerty said his goals would include getting the campus to an A-minus rating in sustainability and growing the UC NightWalk program. Linger continued the Slate 41 platform talking about using the Schneider Report in the College of Engineering and Applied Science to help students tailor their elective choices. “We need to find out what makes you more marketable to employers,” Linger said to the audience. Shannon responded by giving his plan for working on a diversity collaborative to bring together students of all backgrounds to work together on campus issues. Hart continued that theme with his goal of an international leadership collaborative

that would go on trips abroad to speak with prospective Bearcats. “We need to be ambassadors of the university as well as America,” Hart said. Next, the candidates were asked what their top two priorities for the campus were. Shannon said the top issues UC faces include increasing safety on the campus by focusing resources and funding to improve lighting on campus. Shannon also aims to increase diversity, which he outlined using recent national social issues as examples. “One idea would be to bring together the LGBT and ROTC to talk about the ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy to promote understanding,” Shannon said. Hagerty also gave safety as his first priority for the campus, but he took a different perspective. He told about seeing a fellow student put on a bulletproof vest to walk home from the Campus Recreation Center.

“He was walking less than a mile to get home and he was putting that on,” Hagerty said. “We have to increase security not just now, but for future students as well.” Hagerty said the second priority of his campaign was to improve the campus life for students. Ashley Jansen, a first-year pre-med student, attended the debate because she said it was important for her to hear what the candidates had to say. “Lane Hart came to our sorority and talked to us about what [Shannon and he] wanted to work on for the students,” Jansen said. “So I wanted to see what [Hagerty and Linger] had to say as well.” The last chance for students to ask questions to the candidates will be Monday outside of TUC from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Polls will open Monday at 8 a.m. on Blackboard to decide student body president, vice president and senator-at-large.
from nuxhall | 7 Wright State, Miami University (OH), Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati participated in the event that serves to showcase regional college baseball in a friendly and competitive environment. “We all know each other pretty well,” said Miami head coach Dan Simonds. “We are all pretty good friends. To have this kind of format and be able get all together at one place, it gets us in a tournament atmosphere that, hopefully, at the end of the season, we are all involved in.” Nearly 60 years of
baseball experience with the Reds gives Joe Nuxhall an instant and distinct affiliation with the city. “I’m not a native, but it didn’t take me very long to figure out the connection he had with the fans, the community and the Reds,” said UC head coach Brian Cleary. “It really highlights baseball in our community. The players are really appreciative of being able to play in the event.” Much of the same feelings were shared by Xavier head coach Scott Googins. “For me, growing up and listening to Joe on the radio

in the late ‘70s, you never thought you would be apart of something like this,” Googins said. “It’s huge.” While the cross-town rival coach feels humbled to participate in the classic, he also said bragging rights are on the line. In the competition’s inaugural year, Xavier won the competition, and, to rub salt in the wound, Cleary had to present the championship trophy to his heated rival at Marge Schott Stadium. “That’s the best memory those seniors have,” Googins said. “They got a kick out of it.”
from SHREK | 3 guarded by a dragon, young Fiona dreamt of the day when her golden knight on his noble steed would save her and whisk her away to a happilyever-after. But when Shrek shows up with Donkey in tow, Fiona begins to realize things don’t always happen by the book. As the trio travels back to Duloc, Shrek and Fiona develop a friendship, delightfully depicted in “I Think I Got You Beat.” The chemistry between Petersen and Burton is engaging, and even those who have seen the movie version can enjoy the budding, burping romance. The score, for the most part, is whimsy and fun, pulling from “Wicked” and Disney vibes. The orchestra was spot on and the stronger songs shone, giving the show a more magical air. Burton’s voice is melodic and pure, and her quirky insanity is enchanting. It’s easy to see Burton has a blast performing, which is a joy that translates well onstage. Petersen is a worthy match for Burton, with a Scottish brogue to rival Mike Myers’ original. Mingo doesn’t quite manage to endear himself as much as the movie Donkey, but he does provide for a few laughs, and his and Petersen’s comedic timing works well. At the same time, for the musical to succeed, it’s important to put away preconceived notions about the movie before watching the musical: If the audience simply accepts the musical for what it is, the 2 1/2 hours will be much more enjoyable.

HOT TOPICS nick grever
Netflix knocks TV out Let’s talk about television. You know, that box your Xbox 360 is attached to; the one your Netflix runs on. Apparently, this television, as they call it, does other things: Specifically, it plays shows as well. Apparently all Netflix does is allow you to choose these shows whenever you want to watch them. It’s a crazy concept, I know, who actually watches TV on TV’s schedule nowadays? It’s definitely not our generation. With Hulu, Netflix and other, more illegal versions of watching television, we’ve all broken the grasp of that little (and sometimes ridiculously huge) black box. I remember getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch my favorite cartoons. What a difference a decade or two can make. Now, when I’m watching a show, it’s at 1 a.m. or later. I use and abuse my parents’ DVR to record everything from “Metalocalypse” to “MythBusters.” It looks like television might be going the way of every other major entertainment outlet and going mobile to adhere to the user’s timeline, whether the providers want it to or not. So, it must be asked, what is the next step in the evolution of this media? We already have the first answer to that question in Netflix. As a pay-to-use service, it has the best chance to survive through the upcoming transition. The pay model will keep television producers happy, and the ease of use will keep the rest of us happy, too. But the real question is, if TV morphs into a fullon Netflix style service, will prices go up, or will advertising filter in? My guess would be in favor of ads. With the Internet providing vast amounts of content online, it’s very hard to get people to pay for a service in the first place. One of Netflix’s benefits is its cheap price point. To mess with that would potentially wreck the system. One thing we must consider is how this payment model could affect which television shows are actually made. One of Netflix’s greatest strengths is the ability for viewers to go on binges of sorts, watching entire seasons at a time, if they so please. Also, we see a lot of smaller, more niche shows gaining prominence on Netflix’s system. You may not have caught “Firefly” on Fox, but now that the show is on Netflix, why not sit down and gorge on Joss Whedon’s space cowboy epic? Because of this ease of mass consumption, we could eventually see shows released not weekly, but as a package. Or, we could see smaller, more specialized types of shows emerge. Sitcoms like “Two and a Half Men” may suffer due to decreased budgets while shows like shows like the aforementioned “Firefly” could prosper due to its specific audiences. I think the “next big thing” won’t be that big at all in the future of television. Instead, we’ll be flooded with more and more content in easier to consume bundles. Twenty and 40-minute shows will be the norm, with packages of episodes being released together, rather than one at a time. Big budget blockbusters, like “CSI” or “NCIS” will be rare or considered premium content that will garner an additional price. While all of this is mere conjecture at this point, the truth of the matter is that this conjecture isn’t too far off in the future. Television is quickly changing, just like movies, music and other forms of entertainment media. Where it will eventually end up is anyone’s guess, but we can all see where it’s starting to go and many of us are already paying for it.

Record stores get recognized sean peters | chief reporteR The fourth-annual international Record Store Day is finding itself in strange times. In its 2008 inception, the fledgling holiday had no singular entity to represent the celebration. First came Jesse Hughes in 2009, from The Eagles of Death Metal. Josh Homme, also from The Eagles of Death Metal (as well as Queens of the Stone Age), was ambassador of 2010. Assuming the rest of the band was too busy to tout a role that requires no responsibility, they instead awoke Ozzy Osbourne from one of his many Cthululike ancient slumbers and elected him ambassador of the 2011 RSD. What does that mean for us? Nothing. What you do need to know about this year’s Record Store Day, however, is that Northside’s Shake It Records has a treat for you — quite a few of them, actually. On top of the borderline-“Hoarders” amount of
music they have available for sale, they’ve also arranged a meet-and-greet and Q&A session with a certain Talib Kwelli Saturday at 1 p.m. Maybe you’ve heard of him. Whether or not he’s performing really depends on Kwelli’s schedule, but, as Darren Blase, co-owner of Shake It says, “The fact that he’s showing up is pretty awesome.” Wussy also sat down at Ultrasuede and recorded an acoustic set of their album “Funeral Dress,” which is being offered as Shake It’s RSD exclusive during the day’s festivities at 7 p.m. Remember how Foxy Shazam is from Cincinnati? They’ll be repping their home city with a stripped down set inside Shake It at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Apparently globetrotting got tiresome. The entertainment is free.

I was worried about how the crude, comical movie would translate live, but “Shrek The Musical” exploded onto the Aronoff Center for the Arts stage with weirdness abound Tuesday and captured my heart. Parts of the 2001 movie struggled to succeed onstage — in particular, the construction of the animal characters. While Donkey (Alan Mingo, Jr.) had the loud-mouthed charm of Eddie Murphy’s version, it was difficult to pull off the character on two legs. Mingo is costumed in a fuzzy gray onesie, giving him the appearance of an overgrown trick-or-treater. Lord Farquaad, played by David F.M. Vaughn, presented another difficulty. As the short ruler of the kingdom, Vaughn spends the entire show on his knees, which are hidden by short, fake legs and a large cape. Vaughn plays this up, turning the costume into a running joke, but the hokey fix takes some getting used to. Despite this, the show is an
enjoyable musical in its own right. While some of the songs seemed unnecessary, “I Know It’s Today,” “Big Bright Beautiful World” and “When Words Fail” are three endearing, sweet songs, while “Story of My Life” and “Freak Flag”give the ensemble a chance to shine, perhaps none more than Blakely Slaybaugh, a 2009 CollegeConservatory of Music graduate who plays Pinocchio. Eric Petersen portrays the title character, an ogre living on the outskirts of the kingdom of Duloc. Cast away from his parents on his seventh birthday, Shrek has grown up alone and bitter, until a cluster of fairy tale creatures shows up on his swamp. To win back his land, Shrek (reluctantly aided by the overenthusiastic Donkey) must rescue Princess Fiona for Farquaad to wed. But Fiona (Haven Burton) isn’t exactly the perfect princess Shrek is expecting. Locked away in a tower see Shrek | 2
‘Win Win’ viewers have nothing to lose adam kuhn | staff reporteR When life has you pinned, use the “whatever the f*ck it takes” move. That’s the characters’ driving philosophy in the new indie film “Win Win.” “Win” is about Mike (Paul Giamatti), a struggling attorney who seems to dig himself even deeper into a hole when he decides to become the official guardian of Leo Poplar, one of his elderly clients with early onset dementia, to make a little extra money while
his practice is struggling. The aforementioned move is one coined by the elderly man’s grandson, Kyle (Alex Shaffer), who describes it as imagining your opponent trying to drown you in water — unless you get out of it, you will die. It seems an ominous thing for a 17 year old to say, but, when it comes from a teenager who has traveled miles to escape his drug-addicted mother and her questionable boyfriend, it all starts to make sense. So when Kyle shows up at
his grandfather’s doorstep, Mike and his wife Jackie (Amy Ryan) have no option but to take him in until they can find his mother and decide what to do. Meanwhile, Kyle enrolls in the local high school and starts to wrestle on the school’s team, which Mike coaches. A program that struggles to win a match, the New Providence Pioneers see a resurgence aided by Kyle’s talents, played by reallife New Jersey state champion Alex Shaffer. But soon his mother shows up, throwing a wrench in all the great things that seem to be happening for both Mike and Kyle. Its two leads, Mike and Kyle, carry the emotional weight of the film. Mike, played succinctly by the very capable Giamatti, is a loving father and husband and a decent lawyer. But to makes ends meet with his family, he makes the fateful decision to fool Poplar into paying him to be his guardian. courtesy of fox searchlight pictures
DOWN ON LUCK Mike (Paul Giamatti) and Kyle (Alex Shaffer) each find fortuneand life lessons when their lives collide. NEWSRECORDENT@GMAIL.COM | 513.556.5913
Kyle is a broken child from a broken home who sees a second chance of controlling his future when he is in the wrestling ring. Shaffer does surprisingly well for his first onscreen role. But what truly completes the picture is the outstanding supporting cast, led by Amy Ryan as Mike’s wife, Jackie. Jeffrey Tambor and Bobby Cannavale provide the comedic relief, but what sets these characters up so well is the great detail with which writer-director Thomas McCarthy paints them. He takes the time to establish them as characters that really creates a fuller experience. Like any good indie film will do, “Win Win” mixes comedy with drama. In this case, the filmmakers deliver a fairly strong central message by allowing the characters to be human. Mike and Kyle build a friendship through a series of mistakes. In the sense that they are both broken, their bond becomes a win-win scenario, as they learn a great deal from each other. Kyle teaches Mike to do “whatever the f*ck it takes.” And, in return, Mike teaches Kyle that he is more talented — and more loved — than perhaps he ever knew before.

When he took the stage as a lost boy in “Peter Pan,” he realized that the theater was where he belonged. “As a kid, I was like, ‘I’m making money to come in every night and essentially play make-believe for a group of people and give them a couple of hours of relief from their everyday lives,’ ” says Slaybaugh, now 24. “Why wouldn’t I want to do that?” After attending Jack Macejko | senior photographer Cypress Lake High BELTIN’ IT OUT Blakely Slaybaugh, a 2009 CCM alumnus, warms up during a sound check at School Center for the the Aronoff Center for the Arts, Tuesday, April 12.

WINFIELD’S scott winfield
Stanley Cup will return to Canada It’s that time of year again, when the world’s most talented and highly conditioned athletes clash in a battle for the most storied trophy in sports history. No, I’m not talking about the NBA playoffs — I’m talking about slick stick-handlers being stonewalled by hot-handed goaltenders. I’m talking about tense four-on-four shootout situations. I’m talking about the Stanley Cup Playoffs, baby. It’s been a great season thus far. Each top-tier team has had its own story to tell: The Vancouver Canucks were dominant throughout the season, winning the West and topping the NHL ranks with 117 points. The Washington Capitals overcame an eight-game losing streak and ended up winning the East while their heated rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, fought to finish fourth in the East despite losing two of their top performers in Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby for the majority of the season. But the regular season is over. Now the real test begins. Lets begin with the East. The No.1 seed Washington Capitals take on the No. 8 seed New York Rangers in round one. The Caps should easily take the series in five games with home-ice advantage and one of the most volatile crowds of fans in the NHL. Washington also won 16 of their last 20 regular season games, have the fourth-best goals against average in the league, the second-best penalty kill percentage and, to top it off, left-winger Alex Ovechkin. Following an easy route of the Rangers, the Caps should also dispose of the Penguins in five games, as Crosby most likely will not return for the playoffs. As for the rest of the East, I can see the No. 3 seed Boston Bruins defeating the No. 6 seed Montreal Canadiens in six games with the help of lights-out defensive play from goaltender Tim Thomas. Thomas not only has the No. 1 goals against average, but also a league-best .938 save percentage, making him arguably the best net-minder in the league. Boston will then need six games to beat the defending Eastern Conference Champion Philadelphia Flyers. Boston’s strong defense will win them the series, but the Bruins’ average scoring ability will allow Philly to win two before Boston moves on to the Eastern Conference Finals to face Washington. Although it will be a very interesting matchup, I predict Washington will once again choke in the playoffs. The Capitals have proven throughout the last three years that they are the best team in the league — during the regular season, anyway. But the modern-day Washington Capitals have yet to make it past the Conference Semifinals. I don’t see them getting that monkey off of their back this season, either. Sorry Caps fans, maybe next year. As for the West, it’s extremely weak this season compared to the East. Besides Vancouver, only San José and Detroit finished with more than 100 points. And merely weeks before the playoffs, Detroit was nearly eliminated from the hunt for Lord Stanley’s Hardware. But, with a strong finish, the Wings got lucky and earned a No. 3 seed. The Canucks on the other hand had no problems getting into the postseason, boasting the league’s best record. To put it plainly, the Canucks are absolutely stacked. They have one of the best goaltenders in Roberto Luongo, and, on the offensive end, the Canucks have the Sedin brothers — Daniel and Henrik — who both are among the top-five scorers in the league. Everyone else in the West is irrelevant. The Canucks and Red Wings will meet in the Western Conference Finals where Vancouver will prevail in six games. The Canucks are No. 1 in goals per game, goals against and power play scoring. They are also No. 3 in penalty killing. Detroit won’t be able to keep up. As for the Stanley Cup Finals, we could see one of the best matchups in recent history. Boston has the best defense in the league, while Vancouver see PLAYOFFS | 2

Following a 6-5 victory against Xavier Tuesday, the University of Cincinnati baseball team (17-14) defeated the Wright State University Raiders (20-10) 7-4 Wednesday to claim the third annual Joe Nuxhall Classic. The Bearcats became the first team to capture the crown twice, doing so in consecutive years. “It’s meaningful,” said UC head coach Brian Cleary. “No question, with Xavier specifically, that’s an important [win].” Freshman Justin Glass, who went 2-for-3 against Wright State University with three RBIs and a run was named MVP of the Classic. UC allowed only four runs on nine hits against the Raiders, who left 10 runners on base due to the Bearcats strong defense and clutch pitching. Cincinnati starting pitcher Brad Mergen allowed two earned runs in just three innings, while relievers Jason Pascuzzi, Zach Isler and Cory Hough combined to allow just five hits and two more runs. Isler (3-1) earned the win while Hough, making his second appearance in as many days, earned his second save of the season. In the bottom of the third inning, the Bearcats got on the scoreboard putting up three runs. With the bases loaded and one out, Jake Saylor scored on a sacrifice fly by Justin
Glass. Following the sac-fly and with two outs, Justin Riddell hit a two-run single to bring in another run. The last out of the inning came on a double steal with runners at first and third, with the Raiders tagging out Riddell at second but not before the go ahead run crossed the plate. In the bottom of the seventh with two outs, Justin Proctor beat out a grounder down the third base line with runners on second and third to score a run. Following the run, Glass tagged a two run triple down the first base line to score two more. The last out of the inning came again on a double steal, with Glass scoring before the runner was tagged out at second giving the Bearcats a 7-4 lead going into the eighth. UC’s relievers held the Raiders scoreless the last two innings, but not before giving Wright State an opportunity to get back into the game. Hough walked the bases loaded with two outs before striking out Corey Davis to end the game. The Bearcats began their defense of the Classic crown Tuesday, with a win against cross-town rival Xavier. The Musketeers scored two runs in both the fourth and the fifth innings to take a 4-0 lead, aided by errors in consecutive innings by third baseman Matt Williams and a catcher’s interference call in the fifth. UC tied it up in the bottom of the fifth

BIG FRESHMAN SLUGGER Justin Glass earned the Classic MVP, going 3-for-6 with four RBIs. by loading the bases with a single and two walks before Xavier second baseman John McCambridge committed a throwing error on a ground ball, allowing two runs to score. A wild pitch to the next batter at the plate and an RBI ground out and single put two more runs on the board to even the score at four. The Bearcats scored one in the seventh to take a one run lead into the ninth, where Cleary turned to senior Brian Sand to close out the game. A wild pitch from Sand allowed Xavier to tie the game at four before Cincinnati scored the winning run in the ninth. The Bearcats return to action at 3 p.m. Friday against Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J.

REMEMBERING THE LEFTY The Miami, Xavier, Wright State and UC baseball teams honored the former Reds’ pitcher Tuesday and Wednesday, participating in the third annual Joe Nuxhall Classic.
Four area teams square off in classic It’s kind of overwhelming to think of where we are three years after dad’s passing. We’re standing here still celebrating his memory and legacy. —kim nuxhall joe nuxhall’s son

In
honor of the Cincinnati Reds legend, the third annual Joe Nuxhall Classic pitted four local schools against each other during league play Tuesday and Wednesday. Nuxhall — “The Ol’ Left-hander” — had a decorated career in Cincinnati as a major league pitcher and broadcaster. During his 22-year major league career, Nuxhall pitched 484 games — the most ever by a lefty — and, following his retirement, spent 40 years in the broadcast booth announcing Reds games. At 15, Nuxhall became the youngest major league player to ever to take the field. He died of cancer in 2007, but remained with the franchise up until his passing as a part-time radio broadcaster.
“I have a little emotion knowing what Cincinnati meant to dad and our family,” said his son, Kim Nuxhall.“It’s kind of overwhelming to think of where we are three years after dad’s passing. We’re standing here still celebrating his memory and legacy.” Since he entered the majors as a teenager, Nuxhall was unable to earn a college degree in his life — something Kim Nuxhall said his father always wanted to pursue. “I have often said how much dad would love this event because of what it means,” Kim Nuxhall said. “If he had a regret in his life, it would have been that he wasn’t able to get a college degree. I think that’s why this would mean so much to him. He always impressed upon myself and young people the importance of plan B.”
