130 years of first-rate journalism Award-winning newspaper appeals to diverse audience Kareem Elgazzar the news record

The News Record’s rich history is a testament to the outstanding quality journalism the independent newspaper has produced for 130 years.

In this last year alone, The News Record has covered everything from the presidential elections to the University of Cincinnati’s first appearance in a BCS bowl game. The News Record has long been regarded as one of the best student-run newspapers in the nation. And students and faculty know it.

Through the combination of The News Record’s awardwinning writing and photography, University of Cincinnati students and the surrounding areas know where to go to get their news.

In the last several years, The News Record has excelled exceptionally thanks to a succession of great Editors. Keith Jenkins, Kristy Conlin and current Editor in Chief, Taylor Dungjen, have brought The News Record to new heights.

With the help of key personnel like former Sports Editor Bo Jessee and former Managing Editor Thomas E. Smith, the well-rounded coverage The News Record publication

appeals to people of all walks of life. As we move further into the 21st century, The News Record understands the changing economic climate and is already adapting. Our business model has been tailored to accommodate these changes as well as catered to more tech-savvy users while still maintaining its well-designed, well-reported print edition.

The News Record has substantially boosted readership in both online and print editions, and look to do more of the same during the next academic year. With each passing year the staff gets stronger and this year’s staff is by far the most skilled and proficient the newspaper has ever offered.

News Record showcases banner year for UC readers Dear UC, How are you? It’s been a long year already. Although 2009 is only about halfway through, we’ve seen a lot of big news. A lot of news that needed to be covered – and a lot of misery and glory came with the covering of that news.

This year saw the introduction and election of President Obama as well as the departure of our president, Nancy Zimpher, to the State University of New York (SUNY). While we’re usually a hardworking crew to begin with, the Obama election had the office busy well into the next morning.

On top of covering the election results, Obama stopped in Cincinnati, more than once, including a stop just a couple days before show time for the “Change We Need” rally. Thousands of people came to that rally here in the Queen City, approximately 27,000 people actually.

“It was one of the coolest things,” said Thomas E. Smith, former managing editor. “The line was just never ending.”

The Obama rally turned out to be news to us, too.

“We didn’t find out about Obama’s visit to campus until the night before he was going to be here,” said Taylor Dungjen, current editor in chief.

“It was already significant in that he was running for president of the United States, but his visit to campus two days before the election made it that much more important.

Our story that was produced from that was also picked up

by CBS News, which highlights the hard work of The News Record staff.”

But when Zimpher left, we found out that a lot of students around here only equate her with the reason for why our beloved Bob Huggins is gone. Huggins’ return to Fifth Third Arena with West Virginia University was full of mixed feelings. R e m e m b e r t h e “ B y e b y e , N a n c y, H e l l o B o b ” s i g n ?

“The return of Huggins was my favorite memory of the year,” said Bo Jessee, copy editor, former sports editor, columnist, reporter at large and photographer.

“I grew up with Huggs as the coach and seeing former players like Nick Van Exel, Ryan Fletcher and Ruben Patterson come back to honor him was awesome.”

We can also tell you that a lot of students want a new school president with some vision – there is a small number that wants a president with swag, too.

This information comes with our constant efforts to bulk up our multimedia section, included on our Web site, which has videos, slideshows and other content not fit for print.

2008-09 newspaper, staff win multiplicity of awards Kareem Elgazzar the news record

In keeping with The News Record’s rich history and tradition, during the last six years The News Record has won 21 Society of Professional Journalists Awards.

From Best Overall Non-daily student newspaper to Editorial Cartooning, the wide range of awards demonstrates The News Record’s excellence in a variety of areas.

This past year alone The News Record won three awards – two individual and one collective.

The News Record earned 2nd place among all nondaily student newspapers in Region Four Society of Professional Journalists – Mark of Excellence Awards.

Managing Editor Kareem Elgazzar earned 1st place in Sports Photography and former Photo Editor Emily Lang won 3rd place in Sports Photography as well.

The News Record looks to earn even more awards, particularly returning as the number one non-daily student newspaper this upcoming academic year as we did in 2005. There is no reason why The News Record shouldn’t do so as next year’s staff is the most skilled and proficient the newspaper has seen in years.

News Record editor aces writing contest Bo Jessee covers NCAA Basketball Championship for Playboy U mattcunningham mcmicken monthly

Journalism senior Bo Jessee will have a view of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship that would make many professional reporters green with envy.

Earlier this year, he won Playboy U’s College Sportswriter Contest, which earned him a chance to cover the Final Four for the online social network.

“I was shocked to hear I won,” said the News Record sports editor, who broke stories for his campus newspaper about Bearcats sports that were picked up throughout the year by national news outlets.

Jessee said he was surprised to learn he was picked by Playboy U for the honor.

“I knew two of my three clips I submitted were really good, but I thought there was going to be a lot of people entering it, so I didn’t give it much thought.”

Jessee started his studies at UC as a political science major, but changed to journalism his fourth year, when he decided to turn his love of sports into a career.

He was quick to point out how his two years at the News Record helped smooth the transition.

“It’s given me the confidence to go into a field where there aren’t too many jobs right now,” he said.

He went to Detroit the day before the tournament semifinal games.

Air fare and hotel lodgings for two were among the perks included in the award from Playboy U. Jessee covered both the semifinal and championship games before flying home the day after the tournament ended. Jessee blogged about the fames and performed other journalistic duties in covering the Final Four for Playboy U. Jessee said Playboy wanted “me to do a lot of blogging throughout the tournament.”

Playboy U is the multi media arm of the magazine bearing the same

name. “It’s more of a new media kind of publication,” Jessee said.

Jesse’s experience covering the major basketball tournament has a direct connection to his long-term career goals.

“I really want to end up covering an NBA beat or I’d love to be a columnist, especially a boxing columnist,” he said.

And beyond the impact the Final Four coverage could have on his career, Jesse said he’s simply thrilled to have won the award.

“It’s nice to know someone likes my writing,” he said.

Record Students Confirmed For Fall of 2009 Madison Galster the news record

SUMMARY: As University of Cincinnati projections show record-breaking numbers of incoming freshman students for the 2009-10 academic year, the administration is hopeful there will be enough room to accommodate them.

As University of Cincinnati projections show record-breaking numbers of incoming freshman students for the 2009-10 academic year, the administration is hopeful there will be enough room to accommodate them.

There are 4,534 confirmed freshmen enrolled for the approaching year. One year ago today, there had been 4,023 verifications, said Caroline Miller, senior associate vice president and associate provost for Enrollment Management.

The university considers a confirmed freshman to be an impending undergraduate student who has received UC’s acceptance letter and has paid a $50 confirmation fee to the university.

“Applications and confirmations are up, but how many students are confirming here and elsewhere?” said James Plummer, UC’s vice president for finance. “It will be the largest freshmen class we’ve ever had, if they all come.”

The increase of freshmen student enrollment follows suit with projections calculated by the National Center for Education Statistics.

The country saw a 21-percent increase in undergraduate enrollment from 1996 to 2005, according to the federal agency’s reports. The organization also projects that there will be a 15-percent increase of students under the age of 25 between 2005 and 2016.

If the research is correct and universities around the nation are to undergo this population swell, students and faculty are left to wonder where all of these students will go?

“Budgeting is a process,” Plummer said.

“Enrollment managers go to deans and ask them to give a projection. Retention, transfers and other factors go into final calculations.”

After budget scenarios were gathered from deans, who compile the amount of student enrollment and retention within the individual UC colleges, Miller was able to calculate the university’s target number of 4,326 freshmen enrollees.

“I believe that we will melt to about 4,350 students based on statistic trending experience over the last few years,” Miller said.

“This number is closer to our target. We are working to match [dean] goals.”But Miller is not the only one working to prepare and meet quotas.

Plummer presented a proposal to the Board of Trustees, Tuesday, May 19, concerning room and board as well as food budgeting.

The panel has approved the recommendation of adopting a “transparent Performance-based Budgeting model” for the university, according to the Tuesday meeting’s “summary of actions taken.”

It is stated that the model “encourages growth and efficiencies to support the academic mission and priorities and the fiscal health of the institution.”

To accommodate, this means the cost of food and housing will go up, Plummer said.Housing will cost more for individuals living in college dormitories and the cost of meal plans will increase, but undergraduates will endure no tuition increase for the 2009-10 academic year, and graduate students will encounter a small tuition boost, Plummer said.

Although Plummer’s proposal was approved last week, the university will have to wait a few more months to send the entire university’s budget plan to Gov. Ted Strickland.

“We’re up in the air about the budget,” Plummer said. “The Senate and the House have to agree before [UC’s] up for approval.”

Although the university must wait for the state’s final financial authorization, administration hasn’t let this setback stop it from planning precautious measures.

Plummer predicts that the university will have to hire more adjunct faculty members and teacher assistants, but the majority of classrooms will be accommodated by regular faculty.

“Students take core classes in their first year, so there will be more of a burden on Arts and Sciences,” Plummer said.

Even with swelling numbers of potential freshmen, there is still space available to accommodate the class requirements in all of the university’s colleges, Plummer said.

from PURPLE | page 5 interest of Harpo (Stu James), Mister’s misguided but charismatic son, Fields stole the show (or at least, as much as she could with such a charming lead). From the moment the voluptuous Sofia walks on, it is clear she is a force to be reckoned with.

The chemistry between Fields and James is flawless: In one scene, Harpo demands that Sofia stop visiting her sister so often, as her place is with him. To this, Sofia replies sardonically, “You wanna come?”

Soon after, Fields brought down the house with the lively “Hell no!”

This was one of the highlights of the show, as Sofia declares if anyone ever tried to bring her down, she would fight back, and encourages Celie to do the same. Sadly, Sofia’s rebellious nature and free spirit is challenged later in one of the most chilling, heartwrenching scenes of the show.

Harpo is a clearly flawed character, torn between his love for Sofia and his belief that a wife’s subservience is the key to happiness. And yet, James manages to keep Harpo loveable, and his dancing in “Brown Betty” is so fluid it looks effortless.

The second act is just as strong as the first, providing the warm

resolution to many issues. Robinson’s “The Color Purple” is sweet and meaningful, with the message that all things should be appreciated, even the color purple in a field.

James and Fields have one last chance to show off their superb comedic timing in “Any Little Thing,” another crowd pleaser, and Miller’s “I’m Here” was fabulous in every sense of the word. The audience witnessed a thorough a transformation from Celie and Miller showed her pure, raw talent.

The sets changed smoothly and are complementary to the show overall, and the orchestra was equally well-managed. The choreography was perhaps a little off-step at times, and I would have appreciated a little more “oomph” from Robinson and Bonds.

The Color Purple is playing at the Aronoff Center for the Arts through Sunday, Oct. 4. Tickets are $39.50.

The show is also on a mission to help others by promoting the St. Bernard Project, which works to build homes for those still displaced

by Hurricane Katrina.

That’s definitely worth a standing ovation.

as the scruffy announcer, “Hot Tub” Johnny Rocket. Also, the unnamed denizens of Bodeen are all appropriately gross, old or stuck in a rut. After watching the film, I never want to visit the city.

But arguably the most surprising performance is Kristen Wiig’s Maggie Mayhem. Her performance felt natural. She could transition from humorous banter to serious discourse effortlessly. It’s as if she wrote her lines in her own vernacular. Her character felt real, like you could run into her on the street. Or get smashed into her on the derby ring.

Another aspect of the screenplay is the humor. Filled with scene-ending parting shots, the laughs are prolific and constant.

This is another credit to Cross. She is able to keep the overall mood light, while dealing with the dramatic moments of the film.

But building off of Cross’s screenplay is Barrymore’s directing. Understated, but effective, Barrymore is off to a good start

in the director’s chair. The cinematography won’t win any artistic awards, but it does keep the focus on what is important: the dialogue and the characters.

And thankfully, the film is able to explain the basics of roller derby for novices. It’s a tad jarring, but thankfully the explanation is short and complete. To be fair, it isn’t very complicated. And hot chicks hitting each other into walls is all the explanation I would need to be fixated on the races.

“Whip It” is a film that revels in its alternative sensibilities. Dancing on the edge, it celebrates non-conformity. The plot is predictable, following countless movie conventions. But the plot isn’t what’s important. “Whip It” is built on its characters and its script. The characters feel real, they are engaging and you end up rooting for them, cliché plot be damned.

So, if you’re thinking of going to see “Whip It”, remember: “Whip It” good.

Ska music isn’t what it used to be.

Ska, much like life, is cyclical; it has consistently reinvented itself every decade or so since the early ’60s. Many people don’t understand where ska comes from, on intellectual, musical or historical levels. So here, I’ll give you slackers an easy guide to ska.

his work. It took another two years before he would direct another film. The next film was an adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth” (1971). Some critics viewed the film and its violent moments as Polanski’s reaction to the Manson killings.

It is quite disheartening such a talented artist is experiencing such turbulence in his personal life, some of which was of his own doing. In addition to Geimer, Polanski was once romantically involved with actress Nastassja Kinski, the star of his film “Tess” (1979), when she was only 15 years old. Although he was never brought up on charges from the relationship, it made headlines.

In recent years, Polanski attempted to have the charges dropped. Geimer, likewise, believes he should be exonerated and allowed to return to the United States. The governments of both France and Poland (where he was born) made statements saying Polanski should be released on bail. However, the fact he chose to become a fugitive and remain one for more than 30 years doesn’t make it easy to conjure up sympathy for him. If he does end up incarcerated, justice will, for all intents and purposes, be served. In this case, though, that justice evokes a touch of regret.

The chemistry between Fields and James is flawless: In one scene, Harpo demands that Sofia stop visiting her sister so often, as her place is with him. To this, Sofia replies sardonically, “You wanna come?”

Soon after, Fields brought down the house with the lively “Hell no!”

This was one of the highlights of the show, as Sofia declares if anyone ever tried to bring her down, she would fight back, and encourages Celie to do the same. Sadly, Sofia’s rebellious nature and free spirit is challenged later in one of the most chilling, heartwrenching scenes of the show.

Harpo is a clearly flawed character, torn between his love for Sofia and his belief that a wife’s subservience is the key to happiness. And yet, James manages to keep Harpo loveable, and his dancing in “Brown Betty” is so fluid it looks effortless.

The second act is just as strong as the first, providing the warm

resolution to many issues. Robinson’s “The Color Purple” is sweet and meaningful, with the message that all things should be appreciated, even the color purple in a field.

James and Fields have one last chance to show off their superb comedic timing in “Any Little Thing,” another crowd pleaser, and Miller’s “I’m Here” was fabulous in every sense of the word. The audience witnessed a thorough a transformation from Celie and Miller showed her pure, raw talent.

The sets changed smoothly and are complementary to the show overall, and the orchestra was equally well-managed. The choreography was perhaps a little off-step at times, and I would have appreciated a little more “oomph” from Robinson and Bonds.

The Color Purple is playing at the Aronoff Center for the Arts through Sunday, Oct. 4. Tickets are $39.50.

The show is also on a mission to help others by promoting the St. Bernard Project, which works to build homes for those still displaced

as the scruffy announcer, “Hot Tub” Johnny Rocket. Also, the unnamed denizens of Bodeen are all appropriately gross, old or stuck in a rut. After watching the film, I never want to visit the city.

But arguably the most surprising performance is Kristen Wiig’s Maggie Mayhem. Her performance felt natural. She could transition from humorous banter to serious discourse effortlessly. It’s as if she wrote her lines in her own vernacular. Her character felt real, like you could run into her on the street. Or get smashed into her on the derby ring.

Another aspect of the screenplay is the humor. Filled with scene-ending parting shots, the laughs are prolific and constant.

This is another credit to Cross. She is able to keep the overall mood light, while dealing with the dramatic moments of the film.

But building off of Cross’s screenplay is Barrymore’s directing. Understated, but effective, Barrymore is off to a good start

in the director’s chair. The cinematography won’t win any artistic awards, but it does keep the focus on what is important: the dialogue and the characters.

And thankfully, the film is able to explain the basics of roller derby for novices. It’s a tad jarring, but thankfully the explanation is short and complete. To be fair, it isn’t very complicated. And hot chicks hitting each other into walls is all the explanation I would need to be fixated on the races.

“Whip It” is a film that revels in its alternative sensibilities. Dancing on the edge, it celebrates non-conformity. The plot is predictable, following countless movie conventions. But the plot isn’t what’s important. “Whip It” is built on its characters and its script. The characters feel real, they are engaging and you end up rooting for them, cliché plot be damned.

So, if you’re thinking of going to see “Whip It”, remember: “Whip It” good.

Ska music isn’t what it used to be.

Ska, much like life, is cyclical; it has consistently reinvented itself every decade or so since the early ’60s. Many people don’t understand where ska comes from, on intellectual, musical or historical levels. So here, I’ll give you slackers an easy guide to ska.

his work. It took another two years before he would direct another film. The next film was an adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth” (1971). Some critics viewed the film and its violent moments as Polanski’s reaction to the Manson killings.

It is quite disheartening such a talented artist is experiencing such turbulence in his personal life, some of which was of his own doing. In addition to Geimer, Polanski was once romantically involved with actress Nastassja Kinski, the star of his film “Tess” (1979), when she was only 15 years old. Although he was never brought up on charges from the relationship, it made headlines.

In recent years, Polanski attempted to have the charges dropped. Geimer, likewise, believes he should be exonerated and allowed to return to the United States. The governments of both France and Poland (where he was born) made statements saying Polanski should be released on bail. However, the fact he chose to become a fugitive and remain one for more than 30 years doesn’t make it easy to conjure up sympathy for him. If he does end up incarcerated, justice will, for all intents and purposes, be served. In this case, though, that justice evokes a touch of regret.
