Every Division I college basketball team starts out the season with one goal in mind: the NCAA tournament. For some schools, this goal is achieved nearly every year, and most years, Xavier falls in to
that category, making 11 of the last 12 NCAA tournaments. But for a while this year, many people believed that come March, the Musketeers would not be one of the 68 teams putting on their dancing shoes. Boy, were they wrong. With victories over 15-seeded Lehigh and 7-seeded Notre Dame, Xavier is now one of the last 16 teams left standing, fighting for a chance
to call themselves the national champion. This year’s Sweet 16 appearance marks the fourth in five years for Xavier, making them one of only four teams in the country with this accomplishment. This puts them in the elite company of See DANCE| Page 6

Williams College of Business has good positive momentum. I’m looking forward to getting to know the faculty, staff and students and exploring ways that we can enhance the Williams Dr. Brian Till College of Business as an even better place to work and study. There is a good energy on campus and I look forward to contributing to that.” On faculty at SLU since 1995, and the marketing department chair since 2003, Till has experience in the collegiate educational field and a background in cor-
porate marketing consulting and brand management. He was also named the Clarence and Helen Steber Professor of Marketing in 2007. “At SLU, my work has been divided among leading the Marketing Department, teaching, and working on academic research. In coming to Xavier, my role will be focused entirely on leading the Williams College of Business and exploring ways to enhance the Williams College of Business’s visibility in the Cincinnati area,” Till said. Till brings a strong history of working at Jesuit universities to

CORRECTIONS Event based on international conference scheduled By molly boes News Editor
The Newswire strives to keep the integrity and honor of all in the articles we publish. In an effort to better the paper, please tell us if you find corrections that need to be made. We appreciate your help in making the Newswire a better
Four Xavier students have been working together since January to bring a TEDx (x=independently organized TED event) to campus, and in April, this dream is becoming a reality. Juniors Nick Turon and Michael Farwell, sophomore Sean Kallmeyer and senior Lyden Foust collaborated with faculty and administration to make the TEDxXavierUniversity event possible. This event is based on the annual TED conference that is a four day event filled with speakers based on the theme of “ideas worth spreading” and is hosted by the non-profit organization TED. At the conference, each speaker has 18 minutes and instead of prefacing their speech with a list of credentials, they launch right into the material ranging from topics such as writing to the future of medicine to combating modern slavery.
After the TED conference became a success, the TEDx program was initiated to enable communities the opportunity to create TED-like conferences on a local level. In order to host a TEDx event, the organizers must become licensed through TED, a licensure that must be renewed for every TEDx event. When Turon, Farwell, Kallmeyer and Foust received their licensure, they became the first students to get licensed for an event hosting all professional speakers. Once they were licensed, the four students split up the responsibilities into four committees and each became head of one committee, namely the speaker sponsor committee, the budgetary committee, the logistics committee and the marketing committee. Together with mentors, advisers, support from various clubs on campus and administration, they have organized the event from 1-5 p.m. on April 26 in the Schiff Banquet Hall, followed by a one

hour reception. According to the TEDxXavierUniversity chairs, the goal of this event is to bring together alumni, students, faculty, staff and the Cincinnati community to connect and share ideas. Earlier this year, the students reached out to regional leaders in innovation, service or leadership who have an idea that could change the world and are emblematic of the theme of “touching the hearts and minds of others.” While these speakers may not be paid, all of the speeches are professionally videotaped and have the chance of being put onto the TED website where videos often become viral. Speakers for this event include Andrew Gibson, a global brand manager at Procter and Gamble; Todd Henry, founder and CEO of Accidental Creative; Randy Wilhelm, CEO and cofounder of netTREKKER the leader in delivery of digital K-12 educational content; and Rashmi Assudani PhD., an associate professor of Management and Entrepreneurship at Williams College of Business.

Housing 2012-13 By jessica nekl Staff Writer The time has come when Xavier students will determine their living arrangements for the 2012-13 school year. Here is everything one might need to know about the housing selection process: The Housing Agreement Contract is due to be submitted online by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 23. Current first years must live on campus next year. Upcoming sophomores can live in Fenwick Place, Buenger Hall, Kuhlman Hall, University Apartments or the Manor House. Additionally, juniors and seniors may live in the Commons and Village Apartments. Housing times will be available starting at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, March 26. Then on March 27, housing registration will begin for upperclassmen. Current first year honors students can have priority registration for living in Fenwick Place if there is full occupancy and if half of the group members are in the honors program beginning on March 30. Students can register for rooms in Fenwick Place starting on April 2. On April 11, University Apartments become available for registration and first year general housing registration begins on April 12. Residence Life has organized several roommate matching events. Students can also choose to register as a single. Residence Life can be contacted with any questions at reslife@xavier.edu.
Immigration speaker draws large crowd By calesse cardosi Staff Writer A large crowd gathered in Kelly Auditorium Monday for "An Evening with Randel K. Johnson," as Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, spoke about immigration reform from a business perspective. Johnson is responsible for labor, immigration and employee benefits issues pending before Congress and federal agencies according to a press release issued by the University. Before joining the Chamber, he was the Republican labor counsel and coordinator for the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce. All areas of immigration reform were discussed ranging from comprehensive approaches to more specific ways in which immigration reform may benefit the U.S. economy. Johnson pointed out that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce web-
site offers links to research that debunks a lot of myths surrounding immigration. Johnson concluded saying the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will continue to champion commonsense immigration reforms because migrants significantly benefit the U.S. economy by creating new jobs, and complementing the skills of the U.S. native workforce, with a net positive impact on wage rates overall. Johnson continues to work in Washington D.C. yet finds time to travel to various institutions to speak with the hopes of informing people who uncritically accept the stereotypical negative misconceptions surrounding the immigrant impact on the economy in our country. “Johnson offers a unique vantage point into the positive role that immigration reform can have in the U.S. because most immigration awareness events are put together by faith-based or liberal advocacy groups,” Robert Pennington, a recent Xavier grad-
uate, said. “Johnson is a wonderful anomaly in regards to immigration reform because he does not fit into either of these categories, instead Johnson offers his expertise as a leader of the American business community.” Pennington played a key role in orchestrating the evening’s events and is the founding president of one of Xavier’s newer organizations - the Immigration Action Reform Club (IRAC), whose main goal is to promote awareness regarding the phenomenon of immigration. IRAC has hosted other immigration events, as well. One such event was the speech last October featuring Pulitzer Prize winner Sonia Nazario who spoke about immigration and her book Enrique’s Journey. Other sponsors of the event included the Student Organization of Latinos (SOL), Xavier’s Theology Department, and the Cincinnati Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Business: Professor Profile: Matthew Dunch Health: New New Dean hired
By Elly villescas Staff Writer
Continued from page 1 Xavier, as he was also a visiting professor at Loyola University Chicago from 2010-11. He highlighted three ways he hopes to incorporate Jesuit values in his new position, “I think it is important that undergraduate business students have a very strong liberal arts core as part of their degree. [It is also] important to include values and ethics as part of decision-making throughout the business curriculum. [Lastly,] it is important to provide interested students co-curricular opportunities to be of service to others.� Till’s educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from University of Texas, Austin; an MBA from University of Texas, Austin; and a Ph.D in Business Marketing from University of South Carolina. In 2009, he co-authored a book titled The Truth About Creating Brands People Love and has published many academic articles. His hobbies and interests include, “running, board games, travel, following Longhorn (University of Texas) sports, and, right now, learning Spanish.�
Matthew Dunch, S.J. is a first year professor and currently teaches philosophy. Prior to Xavier, he was a preschool, middle school and high school professor. Recently the Xavier Newswire had the opportunity to sit down with Professor Dunch and talk about his experience thus far at Xavier and his experiences before as well. XN: Where did you go to school? How long have you been at Xavier? MD: Public grammar and high school in Boardman, OH. Undergraduate at Catholic University. MA at Loyola Chicago. This is my first year at Xavier. XN: Why did you choose to study/ teach philosophy? MD: I'm very curious especially about big questions. Deep curiosity motivates philosophy. XN: What classes do you teach at Xavier? MD: Phil 100 and 290 so far. Hopefully some other things in the future as well. XN: What is your favorite class to teach and why? MD: Don't have a favorite yet, it's only my first year. I like discussion a lot more than lecture. I can only take the sound of my own

voice so much. So I prefer classes that like to talk about the material rather than simply listen to me. XN: What do you like most about Xavier? MD: I've found the Xavier community very welcoming, especially my colleagues in the philosophy department. XN: What is your favorite book? MD: Hard question. Depends on my mood. Right now: The Mystical Theology by PseudoDionysius. Or L'appel et la rĂŠponse by Jean-Louis Chretien. XN: Who is your favorite philosopher and why? MD: Living: Charles Taylor, he enters deeply into the complexities of human meaning Dead: Socrates, he exemplifies what philosophy is all about. XN: Do you have any advice for aspiring philosophers? MD: Stay curious and read
widely. XN: Do you have any interesting talents/hobbies? MD: I dabble in music: piano, violin, and voice. XN: Since it is March Madness time, do you have any predictions? MD: Not really. Elite eight would be nice. XN: Do you have anything interesting to say having entered the Jesuits? MD: This is my sixth year as a Jesuit. In that time I've had a wide variety of experiences. I've taught preschool, worked as a prison chaplain, led discussion groups of the homeless, worked as a hospital chaplain, taught middle school and high school, spent two summers in the third world, spent a summer in Spain, worked as a live in caretaker for the mentally disabled, and collected way too many books. I think that I've found God in all these things. The Jesuit motto is finding God in all things after all. XN: What was the reason that helped you choose to become a Jesuit? MD: The short answer is prayer. The only real reason to be a Jesuit is because of a joyful calling from God. A vocation is a gift from God and has a mystery about it. I can't fully explain, but I am very grateful to be a Jesuit. It is a blessed life.
program offered Continued from page 1 with a Bachelor of Science degree immediately after graduation. By training, Browne is a licensed psychologist, having worked at Miami University, Northern Kentucky University, Indiana University and numerous other organizations in health care services, career advising and psychology prior to coming to Xavier. “It will be a little bit like coming home for me,� Browne said. “Health Care is where I hang my professional hat. My goal is to have students come out of this program knowing what they want to do and be prepared to do it so that they can get the jobs and roles that lead them to having the kind of lives they want to lead.� Ultimately, Browne wants to bring the undergraduate program to the standards of the graduate program, which has been ranked number one in the nation by Modern Healthcare. The interim director for Career Services has not been announced, but a search will be conducted this spring, according to Browne.

Dance: From first dance to last, XU players are hungry for more said. Walker was not the only Xavier player injured in Xavier’s quest for Atlanta this weekend. Freshman Dez Wells was injured in Sunday’s game against Lehigh. Wells has a sprain in his big toe, and it is uncertain if he will play against Baylor. Wells was optimistic in the locker room on Sunday. “I feel great. We’re going to the Sweet 16. I feel really, really good, and I’m going to do whatever I can to help my team win,” Wells said. The Musketeers saw a big game from its bench as a result of their injured starting line-up, particular-
Continued from page 1 Michigan State, Kansas and North Carolina. Though the Sweet 16 is a great accomplishment for any team, these Musketeers are far from satisfied. “Everybody’s hungry. We’re really hungry, and we’re not satisfied with this win. We want to make the best run we can in the tournament, and this is the best time of the year, so why not?” junior forward Jeff Robinson said. When it comes to hunger to win, senior point guard Tu Holloway is at the top of the list. Time and time again Holloway proves that his will to win is as
ly from freshmen Dee Davis and Justin Martin. “It feels great [to see Davis and Martin play well]. We shortened our bench a little bit in the A-10 tournament, but I went into halftime and I singled those two out to the team and said, ‘Justin and Dee, absolutely great job,’” head coach Chris Mack said. “We couldn’t have asked for more in terms of their effort and the energy they give, the points they brought in. Those two really helped our team. There was a big time togetherness in that locker room.” For these hungry Musketeers, Sixteen tastes sweet, but Elite would taste even sweeter.

For Walker and Holloway, this will be their final trip to the Big Dance, and this marks Holloway’s third Sweet 16 appearance and Walker’s first.

strong as any player in the country. If there’s a clutch shot to be made, he makes it. If there’s a player to defend, he defends him. While the senior led Xavier in its victories over both Notre Dame and Lehigh, he wasn’t without help. Senior Kenny Frease had a career game against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks to propel Xavier into the Sweet 16. Frease scored a career high 25 points. He also had 12 rebounds, giving the 7-footer a double-double. Frease also added two blocks in his 34 minutes of play. While both Frease and Holloway have experienced two previous Sweet 16s in their careers, for graduate student Andre Walker, this Sweet 16 was particularly sweet.
Though Walker has made it to the tournament as a college basketball player, he was never a part of a win in the Big Dance before Friday’s victory over Notre Dame. “It’s a great feeling. Around this time, I’m usually watching these games. I talked to Kenny when there was about 15 seconds left and told him I’d never felt this before. He said he was happy for me. It’s a good feeling, and we’re just trying to keep it going,” Walker said. Walker was injured Friday night and only played 20 minutes against Lehigh on Sunday. “I’m okay, I guess. With a couple more days of rest and not having to do all this movement, I won’t be feeling nauseous or dizzy or anything like that,” Walker

Xavier tennis excels in conference By kyle isaacs
Asst. Sports Editor The Xavier men’s and women’s tennis teams have begun Atlantic 10 play in a strong fashion. The men’s team started its conference play this past weekend and picked up back-to-back wins. By defeating Saint Joseph’s University (7-0) and Temple University (5-2), the men have pushed their season record to 7-8 overall and 2-0 in conference. The women improved their A-10 record to 3-1 this weekend. Despite falling to Temple (6-1) on Saturday, the women’s team notched a victory on Friday over Saint Joseph’s (5-1). Their record for the season now stands at 10-4. The men’s team began the weekend with a dominating performance over Saint Joeseph’s. The Musketeers blanked the Hawks, picking up the doubles point early and scoring the rest of the points via singles victories. Sophomores Jimmy Roebker and Mesa Mei defeated the Hawks’ No. 1 doubles team then turned around and picked up a No. 1 and No. 2 singles win, respectively.

man Freddy Abunku each defeated their opponent in singles play to secure the Musketeer victory. The Musketeers returned to the courts on Saturday to best Temple for their second straight win. The men dropped the doubles point but rallied in the singles matches. Roebker and Mei defeat-
ed their No. 1 and No. 2 opponents while senior Marc Pretorius picked up a No. 6 singles win. “For the first weekend of A-10 competition, we did everything we wanted to do,” head coach Eric Toth said. “There is a lot of tennis though left on our schedule, both in conference and out, where we will need to keep making progress in a positive way to be where we want to be in a month.” On the women’s side, the Musketeers sealed their eighth consecutive victory on Friday by besting the Hawks. The win marked the third straight conference win for the women. Freshman Daniella Patton won her first No. 1 singles match while sophomore Andrea Wolf picked up a No. 2 singles victory. Rounding out the singles victories were freshman Lizzie Oosterbaan, sophomore Ally Westline and junior Natalie Handler. On Saturday, the women’s team lost their first match in over a month, falling to Temple. Xavier picked up the doubles point. Westing and junior Kally Alkire earned a victory in the No.

It’s Madness! Rounds of 64 and 32 By kyle isaacs Asst. Sports Editor
The beauty of the NCAA Tournament is that it gives the “little guys” a chance to topple the bluebloods of college basketball. The idea of David besting Goliath has never been truer than in this tournament. While the tournament has been lacking in buzzer beaters and nail biters (compared to recent years), it has produced a few upsets that not only busted brackets nationwide, but reminded everyone of
the parity in basketball. In the past 11 years, only one 15 seed had defeated a two seed in the first round of the “Big Dance.” On Friday, in a span of four hours, two 15 seeds beat two two seeds. Norfolk State University put themselves on the nation’s radar with their 86-84 upset of the Missouri Tigers, whom many experts believed to be a favorite for the national championship. In the next round of games on Friday night, Lehigh University continued the 15-seeds’ success when they beat Duke University 75-70. These two victories marked only the fifth and sixth time in the tournament’s history that a 15 seed beat a two seed. On Thursday, the unthinkable almost happened in the game between Syracuse University and the University of North CarolinaAsheville. UNC-Asheville, a 16 seed, hung with the Orange for the entire game in their quest to be-
come the first 16 seed to ever beat a one seed. Syracuse survived to win by seven points, but it did not come without controversy. The Orange were on the receiving end of two “questionable” calls that could have altered the outcome of the game. Elsewhere in the bracket, 13-seeded Ohio University upset the four-seeded University of Michigan. The Bobcats moved on to the Round of 32 for the second time in three years. (The Ohio staff includes Xavier’s own Dante Jackson, who graduated last year after a four-year career with the Musketeers.) Speaking of Xavier, the Musketeers engineered their own upset over the University of Notre Dame on Friday night thanks to some late-game heroics from senior Tu Holloway. Aside from Holloway’s bank shot, the lone “buzzer beater” for the opening round games came on Saturday afternoon when Indiana University beat Virginia Commonwealth University. Despite turning the ball over 22 times, the Hoosiers staged a last-minute comeback and sealed the victory with a baseline jumper with 12 seconds remaining in the game. Save for this shot, there have been few last-second shots that
have been highlight-reel worthy. In this tournament, it seems as if something happens for the first time every year, and this year was no exception. While Indiana is lauded as the “Basketball Crazy State,” their neighbors to the east have proven their dominance in basketball this past weekend. Teams from the state of Ohio went a combined 8-0 during the first weekend of games. The University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, Ohio University and Xavier are all moving onto the Sweet 16.
This marks the first time in tournament history that one state has sent four or more teams to the Sweet 16. The opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament was a great way to prep college basketball fans for the remaining 15 games in the “Big Dance.” The madness has only just begun, which is the beauty of the tournament and why it is one of the biggest spectacles in sport. To paraphrase a famous Terrell Owens quote, “Get your popcorn ready because there’s about to be a show!”
XU baseball excels CALLING ALL XAVIER FANS in home opener The Xavier men’s basketball team will be departBy Danny O’malley Staff Writer
This past weekend the Xavier University men’s baseball team played their home opener here at Hayden field against the Toledo Rockets. They played three games over the weekend, and Xavier won two of them. Friday’s game was a pitching duel, which Xavier won 1-0. The Musketeers also won Saturday’s outing by a score of 3-2 while Toledo won Sunday’s game defeating Xavier 3-1. Redshirt sophomore pitcher Vinny Nittoli was 0-3 before coming into Friday’s game and looking for his first victory of the season. After being Xavier’s ace last season, he has struggled so far this year but came out with an incredible performance when he pitched six innings and gave up three hits, but no earned runs. Junior left fielder Daniel Rod went 2-4 and had the lone RBI of the game when he hit a clutch, two-out single in the third inning to score sophomore Michael Moore. Junior pitcher Jon Richard performed exceptionally during Saturday’s game. He was able to go 7 2/3 innings and gave up eight hits with only two earned runs. Toledo accumulated 11 hits
throughout the game but only tallied two runs by the end of nine innings thanks to great defense by the Xavier Musketeers. After battline back and forth, the score was tied at 2-2 at the end of the ninth. The game lasted all the way until the 12th inning when Xavier junior Patrick Paligraf hit a sacrifice fly allowing Moore to score the go ahead run to allow Xavier to win the contest. Sunday’s game was Xavier’s only loss where redshirt junior Tyler Koors started. He lasted five innings before being pulled, and he gave up six hits and two earned runs. Sophomore Tres Eberhardt and Nittoli, who was batting as a designated hitter, both were able to go 2-4 in this game and accounted for four of Xavier’s six hits. “We are swinging at bad pitches and getting ourselves out,” head coach Scott Googins said. This could be the cause for the lack of offense for Xavier, but Googins also mentioned that he was extremely impressed with all of the pitching for the Musketeers over the weekend. The men’s baseball team will be traveling out of town this week to face Miami of Ohio and Western Illinois.
ing tomorrow at 2 p.m. from the West enterance of Cintas for Atlanta to take on the Baylor Bears. Come show the team your support and be there tomorrow to send them off!
It’s time to show your school pride Xavier Nation! Go Musketeers!
Outdoor track and field begins season By Caleb Childers Staff Writer
The Xavier track team opened its outdoor season with a strong showing at the Early Bird Relays hosted by the University of Cincinnati. The team finished the day with four victories. Leading the team was senior Nick Williams, who won the 100meter dash with a time of 10.89 seconds. Williams is looking to have a strong senior season of outdoor track after winning the Atlantic 10 Indoor Track Championship in the 200-meter dash. Freshman John Kolibab won the high jump in his very first out-
door track meet as a Musketeer. Kolibab jumped 1.93 meters on his third attempt. Another A-10 champion that had a strong showing on Saturday was sophomore Tom Ohlman who placed second in the 1,500meter run with a time of 3:55.81. The women’s team also had a strong showing with junior Rachel Clark winning the race in 4:36.41. She was followed by her teammate senior Caylin Howell who was three seconds behind her in second place. Not far behind those two was sophomore Ashley Vincent, who took fifth place with a time of 4:42.65.
Senior Brittani Peltz took second place in the 400-meter dash with an impressive time of 57.26. Freshman Audrey Ramos made a big debut for the Musketeers with her third place finish in the women’s 5000-meter run with a time of 18:17.73. The men’s team finished the day with 52 points and placed fourth out of 12 teams. The women’s team ended with 39 points and an eighth place finish. This weekend the team will travel to Alabama to compete in the Alabama Relays. Sabrina Brown, Sports Editor Phone: 745-3607 newswire-sports@xavier.edu

ast year senate elections were pitiful: 17 students ran for 16 Senate seats. Three of the candidates were disqualified due to campaign infractions, and as a result two write-in candidates wound up getting elected to senate. However, a more promising crop of 25 candidates are competing this year. It isn’t that we at the Newswire feel last year’s candidates were bad; it is that there was a lack of participation that led to a lack of choice among the voters. More choice is better in almost every case. Just like choosing between Natty, PBR or Keystone, choosing between a range of students to represent our population is an essential college

conundrum. One is all natural, one is the tried-and-true favorite, and another is the young whipper snapper that always goes down smooth. You can pick any of the sudsy staples. But unfortunately the so-called “elections” last year turned out to be much more like a Vladimir Putin-esque farce in which we students knew only registered candidates would win, and even they didn’t win. Instead, as opposed to the original candidates (of which we had almost no choice), we students welcomed two previously unknown figures to fight for our interests. So, in essence, the fact that anyone voted was a surprise. Even more surprising, the fact that this Senate governs with any sense of mandate from the students is
unfounded. And it is not as if senate doesn’t affect the students. These senators actually command a sizeable budget and affect the lives of students noticeably. Senate is not devoid of any quality members. In fact, the Newswire could certainly sing loud praises of certain various, unidentified individuals. However, that is not the case with all members, and that is not really even the central point. The real point is, be grateful to be able to decide this year. Not only does it help the people voting, it helps the people governing. While there will undoubtedly be more sad candidates who will mourn their failed candidacy, please know that your collective failure led to a greater student government.

ecently a young, astute man who most of you may know — who also happens to be my roommate — brought a telling concept to my attention. He described to me a conundrum of aesthetics vs. efficacy that arises on this campus quite often, epitomized by our very own salad bar in the Caf. Thus was born The Guerrero Salad Bar Theory. For those of you who frequent the rabbit food trough in our cafeteria, you will most likely recognize the impracticality of our salad dispensary system. For those of you who pride yourself on maintaining a fair distance from the health nuts, I will provide a description. It is excessively chic for what amounts to nothing more than a bar of salad, with shiny décor and shimmering food containers. However, most impressive by far is the pristine, clear glass that hov-
ers over the precious garden of vegetables, meant to prevent any contagions, bodily fluids or otherwise disgusting substances our bodies create from adding any protein to our salads. But for this bar, its beauty is also its bane. I ask you to please attempt to reach the lettuce, the most central ingredient to any salad. You will find the glass to be precisely at the level most convenient for one who wishes to gnaw upon said glass. For those of us who instead wish to gnaw upon salad, it seems our choices become either to forget the salad, losing the small satisfaction of thinking ourselves healthy people or to be forced to stick our heads and faces closer to the food than we would have had to in the first place in order to reach under the glass spray shield. Herein lies the foundation for The Guerrero Salad Bar Theory: aesthetics rule over and indeed often impede efficacy. As we contemplated this theory, the “study” rooms in the

have seldom been so happy to be proven wrong. Your 25 points and 12 rebounds were not a surprise; they were realization of the potential I knew you had, Kenny. It sure is great to enter the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in five years. But it is even better to see Kenny Frease find his rhythm on the biggest stage of college basketball and in the final games of his collegiate career. In fact, Kenny might be the most important piece of Xavier’s tournament run. The Muskies will not be able to rely on superior guard play if they wish to keep advancing in the tournament. In many ways, a dominant post presence à la Sunday night will be the key to defeating Baylor and — gasp — going even further in this wild NCAA Tournament.

I would be remiss if I did not mention you as a crucial member of Xavier’s basketball team since you have arrived on campus.

I came to realize Sunday night that I would much rather eat my words and watch you silence the critics en route to a Sweet 16 appearance than revisit early stumbles. Tournament games are what matter most, and you showed you can play tough on the big stage. While I may have a loud laugh (unfortunately I can’t promise that will go away), you just may silence this critic as long as we keep playing. Actually, you might have already silenced this critic for good.

The reel review with john:
Come over to 21 Jump Street
BY John Reese Staff Writer
21 Jump Street is the latest TV series from the 1980s to be adapted for the big screen. The original 21 Jump Street, a gritty crime drama in which baby-faced cops go undercover in high school, helped launch the career of Johnny Depp. However, instead of following this format, the filmmakers made the new version an action-comedy film. It’s similar to what was done with Starsky and Hutch and The Green Hornet. However, this didn’t turn out to be a bad idea. 21 Jump Street follows Morton
Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum), two immature cops who are sent to 21 Jump Street, a revived police unit. The two must go undercover as siblings attending a local high school to find the supplier and distributor of a new dangerous party drug that makes ecstasy look tame. However, the two officers weren’t exactly best friends back in high school. Schmidt was a nerd donning fashion cues from Eminem, which gave him the nickname Not-So-Slim Shady, and Jenko was a cool but clueless jock. Naturally, there is conflict between the two as Schmidt tries to find popularity and Jenko struggles with the fact of how much high school has changed. For example, “eco-friendly” kids are now cool, and no one wears their backpack with just one strap anymore. All of the performances are very good. Hill is as funny as ever, whether he’s thin or fat. Tatum is surprisingly hilarious in the film. We are so used to seeing him in a plethora of dull romance movies and mindless action films that we hardly see his comedic side. Here’s to hoping that he’ll play in more comedic roles like this. The script, written by Michael
Becall, is filled with raunchy humor and gross gags, but that’s to be expected since he wrote the outrageous party movie Project X, which hit theaters a few weeks ago. Fans of the original TV show probably won’t like that, but the film still works in its own way. Plus some viewers probably can’t get over the fact that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are supposed to be in high school. It’s definitely stretching the premise thin as Hill is 28 years old and Tatum is 31, but there are some clever lines in the script that address this situation. In addition, some of the action scenes are clunky and the standard car chases are just plain routine, but there are a few twists in the scenes to make them enjoyable. There is also a surprise cameo in the film that should excite everyone. 21 Jump Street is a fresh and entertaining 1980s reboot. If you can get past some of the ridiculous elements of the film then you’ll enjoy it.

Taking a Break in Santiago, Spain BY Haley Seger Staff Writer
LONDON — I was excited about my spring break trip this week not only because I would get to go to Spain (number two in my goal to reach five European countries), but also because I was going to get to hang out with someone from home. One of my friends from elementary school is spending the semester in Spain, and although we aren’t really close, any connection to home is appreciated after two months. She is studying in my first destination, Santiago de Compostela. Santiago became famous as the end destination of the pilgrimage El Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James. Supposedly, the city was founded in order to protect the remains of St. James the Apostle, which can still be seen under the Cathedral of Santiago. The city, like most European cities, is divided between the old medieval town and the newer, more modern town. Think of the difference between Hinkle Hall and Alter Hall and multiply it by 10, and you will have a good idea of the difference between the old town and the new. However, being the end point of a pilgrimage does not lend Santiago to becoming a high profile tourist destination. The difference between noise levels in Santiago and the noise levels in
London was bewildering, but the smaller size meant that one could walk just about anywhere. A very appealing idea to the college traveler. The smaller size, however, certainly does not mean that it is harder to get lost. I spent most of my time in the city wondering how anyone could possibly know their way around, particularly in the narrow and winding streets of the old town. My next destination was Barcelona. My friend and I traveled with her friend from Spain,
who unfortunately spoke no English. Somehow we managed to communicate between her limited English, my limited Spanish and crazy hand gestures that my friend could translate if all else failed. In fact, she spent most of the weekend translating for me because, while most people in the tourist areas of Barcelona speak English, most people in Santiago don’t. Most of the time it was just easier for her to translate than to figure out if someone spoke English or not.

We saw a lot of the city in a very short amount of time. We spent Friday night wandering La Rambla, the main street of Barcelona. Even at night, there were plenty of street vendors around to catch the tourist unaware. Saturday morning, we looked around in the gothic area of town to learn about the impacts of Picasso, the 1992 Olympics and
the Spanish Civil War on the city. We detoured to the beach to put our feet in the Mediterranean. On Saturday afternoon, we wandered around the newer part of the city looking at buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi, a famous architect in Barcelona. One of Gaudi’s most famous works is the Sagrada Familia, a basilica that has been in the process of being built for the last 120 years and still isn’t complete. Once you look at the inside, you can understand why it has taken so long. The architecture is so detailed and amazing that it really is mind-blowing. Barcelona felt a lot more like London than Santiago did. Since it is the fourth largest tourist city in Europe, that makes sense. My friend freaked out a little over silly things like McDonald’s and KFC because she hadn’t seen them in two months. Most surprisingly (to me, at least), Barcelona’s metro system is actually better than London’s, which was definitely nice when we needed to get from one end of Barcelona to the other. Although touristy, Barcelona really is a great city. Despite its small size, Santiago is great too. Between the two of them, I had a great experience in Spain this week.

Each spring, DanceCincinnati, Cincinnati’s professional dance organization, holds it’s annual ball. This year it was held on St. Patrick’s Day evening and was therefore themed as such. Several dance students of Dr. Christon Hurst, adjunct professor of music, attended the ball. They were privy to the grand ballroom of Music Hall where they danced to a variety of music styles provided by D.J. Terry Cavanaugh. Those dancing were provided with the style of music that was
about to be played so they were able to prepare for those specific dance moves. Some of the dances included Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, Bolero, Rumba and many others. There was a dance demonstration that was provided by both professional and amateur dancers from the Cincinnati area. These dancers were Gene Brockert, Jill Bradford and Bonita Brockert. Bradford was the first president of DanceCincinnati while Bonita, Gene’s husband, is a professional dancer and her husband’s coach.
