COVID-19: UC utilizes remote classes SHANNON SMITH | NEWS EDITOR With panic over the new coronavirus spreading and cases continuing to be confirmed, the University of Cincinnati announced that in-person classes will be canceled effective March 14 through April 13.

Ohio governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency March 9 as travel restrictions and school closures across the country increased.

Here’s what you need to know about the coronavirus and how it is affecting campus:

medical care. Limit contact with other people, pets and animals and wear a mask in public.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can be found in human and animals. COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, and has been linked to a large seafood and live animal market which suggests animal-to-person spreading.

Why should I care?

How dangerous is the coronavirus?

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that was first detected in China. On Jan. 30, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency after the outbreak reached more than 100 locations internationally.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms of the virus include fever, cough and shortness of breath. If you are experiencing symptoms, stay home and avoid public areas except to get

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe symptoms, with over 4,000 cases resulting in death. Of more than 800 cases reported in the U.S., 28 people have died in Washington, California, Florida and New Jersey.

The risk of the virus depends on how fast the outbreak spreads, the severity of resulting illness and the availability of other medical measures such as vaccines, according the CDC. Older citizens and people with preexisting health Continued on Page 3

University of Cincinnati men’s basketball guard Jarron Cumberland and forward Trevon Scott were named All-American Athletic Conference (AAC) first team.

They are the second duo in the past three years to receive the honor in the same season, as Gary Clark and Jacob Evans III selected to the first team in 2018.

Other recipients to AAC’s first team included University of Connecticut senior guard Christian Vital, University of Tulsa senior forward Martins Igbanu and University of Memphis freshman forward Precious Achiuwa.

Scott was the first Bearcat to average a double-double (11.4 points, 10.5 rebounds) since Dwight Jones finished the 1982-83 season with an average of 16.6 points and 10.1 rebounds. No UC player has averaged as

many rebounds as Scott since Pat Cummings (11.3) in the 1978-79 season.

Meanwhile, Cumberland is receiving first team honors for the second year in a row, as he was the Player of the Year at the end of last season.

Cumberland is one of only four Bearcats along with Oscar Robertson, Steve Logan and Deonta Vaughn to score more than 1,700 points and tally more than 400 assists. He also will finish his career with the most made career free throws in AAC history at 437.

UC men’s basketball looks ahead to the AAC Tournament at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

Since UC holds the No. 1 seed, its first test will be in the quarterfinals against the winner of No. 8 University of Central Florida and No. 9 University of South Florida Friday at 1 p.m.

Lindsay, Dierking win SG election; senators named SHANNON SMITH | NEWS EDITOR KEELY BROWN | MULTIMEDIA PRODUCER Two students who ran unopposed as a slate have been elected by popular vote to become the next president and vice president of the University of Cincinnati Undergraduate Student Government (SG).

Logan Lindsay, a fourth-year computer engineering student, will be the student body president for the 2020-21 academic school year. His running mate, Karl Dierking, a fourth-year mechanical engineering student, will be student body vice president.

Lindsay and Dierking centered their campaign on four platforms: accessibility, inclusion, sustainability and next.

“It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to represent the student interest at the administrative level,” said Logan.

“We are more than excited to work for you and watch our 12 platforms points come to fruition over the next year.”

Additionally, eight senators were elected to fill seats in SG. Of nine candidates, the following students were elected: Joe Kroger, a first-year student double majoring in political science and secondary education, centered his campaign on four platforms: sustainability, academic success, community involvement and sexual assault prevention. His platform goals included establishing a community garden, increasing the semester credit hour maximum from 18 to 21, creating a volunteer initiative to offset the costs of

parking tickets and promoting Bystander Training Implementation to encourage sexual assault prevention.

Neha Chawla, a second-year student majoring in computer science with a minor in women’s, gender and sexuality studies, currently serves in the SG cabinet as the director of student technology. Her platform goals included promoting new technology innovation, creating outreach programs for Cincinnati Public School Students, develop a student life resource pamphlet and establish a Women’s Day conference.

Taylor Allgood, a first-year international affairs student with a double minor in French and women’s, gender and sexuality studies, is a recent graduate of the SG Mentorship Program (SGMP) and currently serves as secretary of senate. Allgood based her platform on the acronym STAND – sustainability, transform, adulting 101, networking and diversity and inclusion. Her platform goals included expanding UC’s current composting system, crafting a new mural on campus, implementing monthly workshops that cover multiple topics, creating a website for students and alumni to market their businesses and ensure UC students will not be academically punished for missing class due to religious purposes.

Makayla Stover, a second-year student studying communications with a minor in sociology and certificates in public relations and digital engagement, currently serves as the SG press secretary under the current administration. Stover’s platform goals included expanding the Bearcat Promise,

Coronavirus concerns: What you should know Continued from Page 1 conditions likes heart disease, diabetes and lung disease are at higher sick of getting very sick from COVID-19.

Where did it start? Where is it now?

There are currently over 118,000 confirmed cases across the world, including 808 cases in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University. There are cases confirmed on every continent except Antarctica.

What is going on in Ohio?

There have been three confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ohio, all in Cuyahoga County. The Ohio Department of Health released updated numbers that show there are about 15 possible cases under investigation.

Ohio governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency March 9 and encouraged school cancellations until the outbreak is under control. Ohio State University, Miami University, Kent State University, University of Akron and Ohio University have all canceled in-person classes and will only have virtual instruction for all classes.

Cincinnati Public Schools has also canceled all domestic and international travel scheduled through the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

What is the university doing about the outbreak?

All university sponsored travel to countries that are CDC Warning Level 3 is prohibited.

Students traveling from China, South Korea, Italy or Iran are required to report to University Health Services and selfquarantine for 14 days before returning to campus.

All spring break student abroad experiences have also been canceled for an “abundance of caution.” University president Neville Pinto has created a Public

NEWS

Health Response Team comprised of senior university leadership.

What can I do to protect myself?

In order to protect yourself from COVID-19: •Avoid close contact with people who are sick •Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth •Stay home when you are sick •Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash •Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces •Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask; the organization does not recommend healthy people wear a facemask.

•Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol may be used.

Will academics be affected?

On March 10, UC announced that inperson classes will be canceled effective March 14. Instruction will continue remotely until April 13, while residence and dining halls will remain open. College deans are working with faculty to develop online teaching approaches for each academic program.

How serious is it?

While the virus is not particularly deadly to most people, risk comes from how a global epidemic affects the societies it hits, according to The New York Times.

Local health care systems are at risk of being overwhelmed by patients depending how fast the outbreak spreads, so global efforts are currently focused on stopping the spread and lessening the impact of the virus.

In-class lectures at the University of Cincinnati will be moved to online, effective March 14 until April 13.

Police response lacks as crime rises near campus

QUINLAN BENTLEY | CHIEF REPORTER Following a string of burglaries in student housing in the neighborhoods bordering the University of Cincinnati, some are calling for a heightened police response in the area.

Since the beginning of this year, the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) has responded to 14 burglaries in student housing surrounding the university, according to the crime log provided by the UC Department of Public Safety.

Some of the items stolen include Air Pods, laptops, gaming consoles and cell phones, according to police reports. In one instance, the items stolen valued $1,400.

Burglaries in the area have become increasingly prevalent in recent months, said Nathan Hess, president of the CUF Neighborhood Association.

In fact, reported burglaries in CUF — which houses the city’s largest student population — have increased by approximately 34% when compared to the same time last year, according to city crime data. With a “disheartening” response from CPD, some students affected by these burglaries have turned to the neighborhood association looking for a remedy, said Hess.

“They didn’t feel that the District 5 police is really being responsive to them,” he said.

“Not receiving return calls or no follow through with promises for investigating.”

Often CPD will simply remind residents to lock their doors to ensure that they are not “inviting someone to steal,” he added.

“While there’s certainly an argument to be made for heightened awareness, there’s probably more that could be included in the police response that is lacking right now,” said Hess.

A neighborhood liaison officer with CPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The News Record.

While CPD claims to have increased

patrols in the neighborhood, Hess says that he has not seen any evidence of that.

“The best [the] neighborhood ever felt safe and secure was when there was a partnership between UC police and Cincinnati police, where UC police are patrolling the neighborhood,” he said.

In 2010, UCPD and CPD entered into a “Mutual Assistance In-Progress Crime Assistance Agreement,” which gave UCPD officers the jurisdiction to make arrests and traffic stops outside the borders of the university.

The agreement was ultimately terminated following an ordinance by Cincinnati City Council in response to the fatal shooting of Sam DuBose by former UCPD Officer Ray Tensing in 2015.

“Perhaps nothing is more central to the questions raised after the shooting death of Samuel DuBose than the efficacy and appropriateness of UCPD conducting on and off-campus vehicle stops as a crime reduction tool,” Exiger — a thirdparty consultancy firm that specializes in regulatory compliance — said in its 2016 evaluation of UCPD. The firm’s evaluation found that at its peak, UCPD was averaging up to 412 traffic stops per month in 2015.

Despite this, many still hold UCPD’s presence in a positive light. UCPD ranked nearly six percentage points higher in overall satisfaction among students than CPD, according to a university survey conducted in 2016.

Around 44% of students surveyed also said that UCPD should not be confined to only dealing with crimes that occur on campus.

“We don’t have UC police as active in the neighborhood as they were,” Hess said. “But back when they were that was when the neighborhood felt the safest.”

The Cincinnati Police Department responded to 14 burglaries surrounding the university since the beginning of the year.

Q&A: The professor behind UC’s new cannabis courses

Sue Trusty, assistant professor educator of horticulture at the University of Cincinnati.

EMILY CHIEN | STAFF REPORTER

EMILY CHIEN | STAFF REPORTER

grow cannabis!’

microbrewery industry is exploding.

As premier horticulture expert and educator, Sue Trusty has her hands in all the cutting edge when it comes to plants — these days, that means cannabis. As the only full-time horticulture staff member, Trusty pools knowledge from local experts and her medical marijuana meetup group in order to push the program forward. The open-armed cannabis industry is slowly but surely making its way into Ohio, and her students leave her classes with real, hands-on expertise in specialized growing methods.

TNR: What does the law look like in Ohio for cannabis right now?

ST: All cannabis sativa is what you think of as marijuana and what you think of as hemp. Some varieties produce THC, and those varieties are marijuana, and then the varieties that produce less than 0.3% THC are considered hemp. But everything was prohibited federally in the U.S. in order to keep people from using THC — it’s the same plant. In 2018, the Farm Bill, which was passed at the last minute, like in December of 2018, lifted the federal prohibition on hemp — not on other cannabis. But everybody can’t go out and start growing hemp, because it was up to the states to see what that would look like.

So, in Ohio now, you can grow hemp, but you have to have a license, you have to apply for it and you have to fill out a lot of information about how you’re going to grow it and what you’re going to do with it. Or, if you’re a school or university and want to research it, you don’t even need a license, you can just grow it.

TNR: I’ve heard hemp is somewhat of a wonder-plant. What will you grow it for in this class?

ST: Oh, you would not believe all of the fantastic things you can do with it! The hemp we’re going to grow in several different ways. You can grow hemp for fiber — for ropemaking, cloth, paper — you can make building materials out of it. It’s like a biological glue, so it’s like an all-natural building material that’s not wood. The hemp plant is really tall — like eight feet tall, if you grow it that way, and it has all of these really strong fibers in its stem. You can grow it for seeds, which are very nutritious for animals or people, or oil, which is CBD oil and very popular right now for its medical purposes. In that way, you would spread the plants out more; they would be shorter and bushier and have more flower-heads. And then the most labor-intensive, if you were going to grow drug cannabis, you would grow it a completely different way.

THE NEWS RECORD: You teach classes in cannabis and hemp. What’s the reason for that?

SUE TRUSTY: Cannabis is big business.

It’s becoming available in more and more states, and students are interested in it, but more importantly, you can get a really good-paying job in the cannabis industry.

Even before Ohio started doing it, I thought, ‘I should learn more about this.’

So, I got a Faculty Development Grant to go to California and see what it was all about, and then Ohio passed it just for medical cannabis. I met a lot of people who were getting their businesses going, and they said, ‘We get hundreds of applications, and the people who are applying are people who use cannabis, maybe not in the best way. Maybe they’re interested, but they have no experience or training at all.’ So, I’m thinking, ‘We need to train the students to

TNR: What classes are you piloting on the subject?

ST: I’m actually teaching a class for the first time in May: it’s called Hops and Hemp Field Experience. Hops and hemp are botanically related — they’re two plants of very few plants in the same plant family and have a whole lot in common. Hops are what they use to bitter beer, and the

TNR: You also have an introduction to cannabis class — what’s that like?

ST: The intro is a survey course. It’s really interesting because I have like 20 guest speakers — I don’t know everything there is to know about cannabis, you know! I’m learning as much as I can. So, in the first third [of the class], they learn the history, anthropology, law, the politics surrounding it; all the background — that’s all guest speakers. Even substance-abuse people

come in to speak because a certain number of people do get addicted to cannabis. Then, the second third is how to grow it: I teach that, because I grow things! And in the last third, it’s all about what happens after you harvest that plant. There’s lab testing that has to be done while you’re growing it and after, then it gets processed into flour, gummies, oils that you can vape, brownies, edibles; you know. So, we have people who come to speak in all those fields — we have testers, processors, dispensary people, patients [and] doctors. I know all the local players pretty well; we all meet once a month for the medical marijuana meetup.

So, this course goes over everything, and [the Hops and Hemp course] is the handson course.

TNR: What does the future look like for this subject at UC? ST: What we’re putting together is a certificate program, which is at the last step for approval. Students can take those two classes, the survey and the hands-on, and then three more classes [to] get a certificate.

This is intended for, say a business major or maybe a chemistry major, to get into the business-side or processing-side of the industry. The reason the certificate came about was because all of the guest speakers from UC who come and speak in that first bit of the survey class were saying we should do a certificate! We have all these classes that all work together — cannabis is out there, and people are incorporating it into their coursework.

UC student raises a furry family of eight in college single meal, so why would I do that to my animals?”

To make sure they are getting the added nutrients and vitamins that go into store-bought food, Beyrer still feeds her pups kibble on occasion, but she likes to control the majority of what goes in their bodies.

“A healthy diet means a healthy dog, which means less vet visits,” Beyrer said. However, Beyrer emphasizes the importance of doing research since each dog has a different lifestyle and diet.

When it comes to making at-home pet food, Beyrer relies on two things: a crockpot and Tupperware. Three crockpot meals of dog or cat food are made throughout the week, and any extra goes straight into a Tupperware and into the freezer.

Grocery shopping happens once a week, for both humans and animals alike, and Sunday evenings are devoted to chopping vegetables and meat for the meals that week. Beyrer likes to diversify what she makes each time so that it does not get boring and to avoid feeding the dogs too much of one nutrient.

Beyrer met her first dog, Nelly, in November of 2017. Rosie followed later in spring of 2018, and Wendy was adopted last, in summer of 2019.

When Beyrer and Nelly first met, Nelly was an extremely nervous dog.

The latest resident of the with the same respect and importance as Beyrer household is a stray cat that Beyrer’s humans,” Beyrer said. “I wouldn’t feed my younger sibling found in a Wendy’s parking kids the same processed food for every

lot.

“He was really pathetic and frazzled looking,” Beyrer said. “His fur was caked in either blood or mud and he was begging for chicken nuggets to snack on.” Since he was found living in the garbage, the cat was lovingly gifted the name of Charlie Day, a nod to the actor from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

After taking him to the veterinarian, Charlie Day had no microchip, wasn’t neutered, suffered from fleas and had multiple head and face wounds. Based on how worn down his paw pads were, the vet guessed Charlie Day had been an outside cat his entire life.

At the Ohio Alleycat Resource, Charlie Day was given his shots, treated for his wounds and neutered free of charge. But he also positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), a virus that weakens the cat’s immune system, making them more susceptible to diseases and infections.

Because of his FIV, Charlie Day has a better chance of living a full life indoors, rather than continuing his previous lifestyle of being an outdoor cat. Therefore, despite Beyrer’s allergy to cats, Charlie Day will be sticking around.

But raising and fostering so many creatures does not come easy or cheap.

Beyrer’s biggest support system is her partner of one year, Garrett Welch. When

they first met, Welch had zero pets and Beyrer had five. The two now share a house and Welch has assumed the role of cocaretaker, assisting in the everyday feeding, walking and cleaning.

Outside help also comes to the rescue.

Beyrer’s younger siblings and friends often stop by to feed and check on the animal crew throughout the day, something Beyrer can’t express enough gratitude for.

If Beyrer goes on vacation or needs to leave Cincinnati, she either plans dogfriendly vacations, and has friends stop by throughout the day to care for the smaller animals, or her friend, and number one babysitter, Blake, becomes a live-in dog nanny.

Both Beyrer and Welch work full-time in order to afford vet bills, food, toys and day-to-day supplies. To be fully stocked, “We go to three different pet store locations and order from two additional websites,” Beyrer said. Carefully watching what her dogs eat by making homemade dog food is just one of the ways Beyrer attempts to keep her vet bills.

Before moving into a house in Madisonville, Beyrer lived in a small apartment with all her animals. For the last month of her lease, she had four dogs, a cat, two rabbits, a snake and a fish. “I’m a landlord’s worst nightmare,” she said.

Review: ‘The Slow Rush’ distorts time and space ZACHARY JARRELL | CONTRIBUTOR

Last Friday, Tame Impala released its fourth album, “The Slow Rush.” Kevin Parker — front man and songwriter — took five years to release this album, which is the largest gap between any one of the band’s albums, giving him time to craft the band’s best album to date.

It is evident that time was on Parker’s mind as he produced this 57-minute futuristic alternative disco masterpiece.

Looking at the titles of the songs, most deal with the abstract idea of time. Parker begins the album with “One More Year” and ends with the track “One More Hour,” highlighting the passage of time throughout the album.

He didn’t stop there with the apparent references to time. Just think about the title of the album: “The Slow Rush.” As the title suggests, this album does feel like a slow rush of time, but not time on Earth.

The album feels almost like you are traveling through a black hole. Time doesn’t feel linear on this album; it feels multidimensional. Never-ending but nearly over.

The album’s themes are almost as multidimensional as time itself: family, love, being fearless, pushing the envelope and much more. In one of the more personal tracks — “Posthumous Forgiveness” —

Parker pushes the themes of family, along with time.

The song is about the death of Parker’s father, and how he wishes he had more time with him.

“I wanna tell you ’bout the time. Wanna tell you ’bout my life. Wanna play you all my songs,” he sings, referring to how he wishes he still had his Dad around.

It’s these very raw lyrics, coupled with interstellar instrumentation, that makes this album quite complicated.

At no point in any of the songs can you truly identify all the song is trying to convey, and why would you want to? That is what makes “The Slow Rush” so unique and worth giving a listen.

You have to take your time with this one. Let yourself be distracted and taken away. Just make sure you come back down to Earth every once and a while to appreciate all that this album brings to the table because it’s worth the time.

Tame Impala, the project by Kevin Parker, put out its fourth album, “The Slow Rush,” Friday, Feb. 14.

How do you stay fresh-faced and possess the right amount of dew heading into spring and summer? Leave it to the TNR staff to fill you in on our skincare tips and tricks.

I wear makeup pretty much every day, so I take off my mascara and any other eye makeup with oil free makeup remover and a cotton round. Next, I use a Neutrogena makeup remover cleansing wipe to take off the rest of my face makeup. I use Cetaphil daily facial cleanser all over my face and wash it off. Then comes Dickinson’s original witch hazel on a cotton round all over my face. Finally, I apply a generous amount of CeraVe daily moisturizing lotion on my face, apply some chapstick and go to bed.

About once a week I also do a face mask to clear up any breakouts or moisturize my face a little extra.

Keely Brown | Multimedia Director I have super sensitive skin, so I need to make sure I take good care of it. After I’m home from classes and work, I’ll take off my makeup with Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water. Next, I wash my face with Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser. To ensure all my makeup is off and my skin is clean, I’ll use toner (that I find for super cheap at TJ Maxx because I’m a broke college student) all over my face.

After I’m confident all my makeup is off and my skin is clean, it’s time to moisturize.

I’m relatively new to the whole self-care in terms of skincare moment. My routine is not complex, but it’s been a game changer.

To start my day, I wash my face with Cera Ve’s foaming facial wash. If I am washing my face while showering, I make sure to wash it first so that other products don’t contaminate, and then dry off like usual. If I am washing my face on its own, I find it important to dab, not wipe, with my towel.

Air drying is great if you have time, but I don’t usually, so a towel is my go-to drying method. After my cleanser, I apply Thayer’s rose petal scented witch hazel with a cotton pad. I let this airdry while I brush my teeth before applying my Neutrogena Oil-Free moisturizer. I had tried several moisturizers before landing on this one, and I truly believe it was worth the wait. It has SPF in it already, so you get your daily dose of sunscreen while also feeling refreshed and fully hydrated. This same routine is repeated at night, but without the moisturizer.

serum I found recently, let it dry, and finish with Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. Shannon Smith | News Editor In the morning, I use Neutrogena’s Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Acne Wash, followed

by Botanics Organic Toning Facial Spritz.

The toning facial spritz is a quick and easy way to ensure your skin will feel revitalized with minimal effort. After toning, I use IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer, then I finish the morning routine with Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Water Gel. Nighttime is a little simpler. I wash my face with Cetaphil daily facial cleanser, then tone with Thayer’s Witch Hazel and finish with H2O+ moisturizers. In addition to the every-day routine, I use St. Ive’s Skin Brightening Exfoliator four times a week in the shower, then Skinfood’s Black Sugar Strawberry Wash-Off Face Mask the other three days. Every other day I use Gold Snail Under Eye Patches to reduce dark circles.

The skincare and makeup industry has me to thank for pretty much single-handedly keeping them in business.

Alex Martin | Art Director Every morning I rinse with water, then I use First Aid Beauty’s acne cleansing pads for my toner. For my moisturizer I use First

Aid Beauty’s ultra-repair cream. Every night I use the Drunk Elephant Cleanser #9, and then I go back to the First Aid Beauty acne cleansing pads and the ultra-repair cream for toner and moisturizer. Every five days I use Lush’s cup o’ coffee face mask because it’s an exfoliant. It’s made up of coffee grounds, so it’s basically rubbing coffee grounds into your face to exfoliate. I shave every five days, so I like to exfoliate before using Cremo Coconut Mango Moisturizing Shave Cream. On these days, I use the face mask, shave, tone, then moisturize in that order. It’s also important to keep your lips conditioned, so I use Caudalíe’s lip conditioner.

David Rees | Features Editor I begin every morning and every night by cleansing with the Squalane and Tea Tree Cleansing Gel from Biossance. I have very oily skin, so this cleanser is great at removing excess oil, while not stripping my face. Every three days, I follow my cleanser with the Squalane and Tea Tree Detox Mask, also from Biossance - I’m a big fan of Biossance. Then I go in with Biossance Squalane and Priobiotic Gel Moisturizer. I lock in all that moisture with the Squalane and Tea Tree Balancing Oil, again, from Biossance. If it’s the morning, I top everything off with the Squalane and Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. Guess where it is from. Biossance.

Miller reflects on UC career, prepares for future LOGAN LUSK | SPORTS EDITOR Senior point guard Antoinette Miller is winding down her career at the University of Cincinnati, where she has played for four years since being recruited from Detroit’s Southfield-Lathrup High School.

Miller was labeled by ESPN as a threestar prospect with a grade of 89 during the recruiting process.

“It has definitely meant a lot to me,” Miller said of her passion for basketball.

“It’s something I grew up around…I started playing when I was 4. It gave me something to do with my free time. It wasn’t something I was forced to do. It was something I loved to do.”

Miller also talked about how she misses her family in Detroit but has little difficulty getting a slice of home from her mother.

“I miss my family for sure,” Miller said.

“They’re my big supporters. If I really miss home I can see my sister who lives in the Cincinnati area… My mom makes the majority of the games. This year she definitely tried to come to as many games as possible. She has maybe only missed around two home games this season, and she’s caught a few on the road.”

Miller was a member of the National Honors Society in high school and has continued to stress the importance of academics at UC as a health and fitness major.

However, Miller’s ability on the court has garnered the most attention. As a freshman and sophomore, she served in a reserved role off the bench. When current head coach Michelle Clark-Heard stepped into the picture, her role was increased.

Miller was thrust into a starting role in her junior season and subsequently started all 35 games, averaging an impactful 13.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals.

“When [Clark-Heard] came here, she said that she saw a lot in me.” Miller said. “She trusted me to be the point guard and run this team, so, she gave me the opportunity to be the player I am today. She really

helped me translate into that role.”

Miller said Clark-Heard has had an immediate impact on the team since her hiring in March 2018.

“I think everyone can see her impact in this program,” Miller said. “When she came in here, the will to want more became ten times stronger. She doesn’t settle for anything less than what she wants.”

UC has had another successful year in Miller’s senior season with a 22-10 record so far. In the American Athletic Conference Championship, the Bearcats fell to the University of Connecticut Huskies, 87-53, in Monday’s final.

Still, it is the furthest the program has advanced in the championship during its tenure in the AAC. A vital part of UC’s success in the past two years has been the dynamic duo of

Miller and junior forward IImar’I Thomas.

This season in particular, the pair has been most effective when on the court together.

Miller has continued to fill the stat sheet this season, sitting at 15.6 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.

Thomas has also stood out with averages of 18.6 points on 59% shooting and 7.9 rebounds. “[Clark-Heard] calls us a 1-2 punch,” Miller said. “[Thomas] came in her freshman year and I still had a smaller role than in my sophomore year. In my junior year, we both stepped into bigger roles. She became a starter and I became a starter.”

“From making that transition together, we really grew closer,” Miller continued.

“We both trust each other. We have to be on the same page. We embraced both of our roles and the challenges. We’re really good

friends so it makes it easy to play together on the court.”

Looking back at her UC career, Miller feels the time went all too fast.

“It’s kind of crazy that it’s coming to close,” Miller said. “I honestly feel like I just got here. There’s been a lot of challenges, but I’ve really just embraced my time here.

I feel I’ve grown as a player and a person. It feels good to be able to look back and see how I helped this program.”

Miller doesn’t intend on ending her basketball journey yet, as she hopes to make the jump to the professional ranks.

“I’m definitely going to try and keep playing professionally,” Miller said. “I’m in the process of getting my name out there and hopefully continue my career for as long as I can.”

As Miller continues to put her name in the heads of scouts, she won’t soon be forgotten by the teammates and program for which she has become a leader.

With little to no “bracketology” sources predicting UC to make the upcoming NCAA Tournament, the Bearcats could be competing in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) for the third consecutive year.

The past two seasons have shown differing amounts of success in the tournament, with UC being knocked out in the first round by Michigan State University in 2018. Last year, the Bearcats made it to the quarterfinals before falling to Texas Christian University, 69-55.

Selection for this season’s WNIT is Monday, March 16.

UC senior swim captain overcomes adversity MARCELLO JONES | STAFF REPORTER The University of Cincinnati men’s swim and dive team has been dominant, placing first in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) twice over the past three years. Senior captain Joey Puglessi has excelled in and out of the water, setting the standard for his teammates and fellow student-athletes.

Puglessi grew up in Ada, Michigan, and started swimming when he was 8 years old, along with his brother, Ben. They formed a bond in the pool that would lead to both becoming collegiate athletes, as Ben swims at Seton Hall University.

While Joey has had a successful career as a Bearcat, he began at the University of Buffalo.

Luckily, the swimming world is pretty sophomore and went through more Puglessi described his first semester as small and Puglessi found a new home. adversity than most experience in their “quite tumultuous,” but remained optimistic “My brother was being recruited by collegiate years. that his luck would change. He was cleared UC,” Puglessi said. “The name recognition “I had multiple seizures and was on New Year’s Eve of his sophomore helped, and within an hour of the [Buffalo] diagnosed with epilepsy,” he said. “It was year and competed at the conference announcement going public, the [UC] the first time in my life that I had ever had championship later that year, where the men’s team won the title for the first time in program history.

Although this was a time filled with turbulence, he looks upon it as a defining moment within his life.

“It changed my perspective on college athletics in general,” Puglessi said. “Just to take every opportunity because you never know when it might get taken away from you, so that kind of defined my first year and every moment since then.”

Not being able to swim was a shock and an adjustment that took time, but finding passions outside of swimming became more important. As a result, Puglessi broadened his oncampus experience at UC. “I have learned to develop a growth mindset,” Puglessi said. “You can’t always change the hand that you’re dealt, but you can change your mindset.

important.”

Puglessi holds a variety of student government titles on campus, including external vice president for Student Athlete Advisory Council – for whom he is the UC representative to the AAC, the alumni relations coordinator for the AAC and the red and black book chair on UC’s Student Alumni Council.

Puglessi is also the vice president of athletic relations for Forever Bearcats. “[We aim to] find new ways to grow donorship for nonrevenue generating sports on behalf of the rest of the student and alumni bodies,” he said.

He also acts as the arm that connects the UC athletic department to the AAC, making sure that the goals of the conference impact student-athletes.

“Whether it’s how we can respond to new legislation that affects our conference, different efforts to grow the presence of our conference nationally, or just small things that give our student-athletes in the American a leg-up on other conferences,” Puglessi said.

Through his extracurricular activities, Puglessi has positioned himself as a mentor for the younger swimmers. But what is important to him is that the team continues its growth.

“I think we make a concerted effort to cultivate the leaders of this team for the future, to make sure that the success that we have built up over the last couple of years is something that is sustainable long term,” Puglessi said.

Puglessi has been a part of a program that has grown significantly in recent years, becoming a staple of the postseason AAC awards.

“One thing we have done really well in the last couple of years is being able to empower other people on the team to grow in their own leadership roles and embrace the mindset of everyday leaders,” Puglessi said.

There are typically 28-30 members on the men’s swim and dive team. As one of four captains on the team, Puglessi says that in order for them to achieve success, it is vital that there is an acknowledgment and care about what happens outside of the day-today training.

After the team’s narrow loss this year at the conference championships, Puglessi’s collegiate career is finished and he’ll soon enter the real world. But if anything, he has cultivated an environment that will ensure the Bearcats are successful for years to come.

Desk Editor Duel | COVID-19 crisis

OPINION

QUINLAN BENTLEY | CHIEF REPORTER ANNE SIMENDINGER | LIFE AND ARTS EDITOR Quinlan Bentley UC’s decision to cancel in-person classes in response to the outbreak of coronavirus in Ohio, while sound, also robs student of a valuable part of their college experience.

While I understand the university’s concern, is cancelling classes really of benefit to students – especially those graduating this May? Sure, everyone enjoys staying home longer over spring break and online courses are much more relaxing and flexible than in-person courses.

But the college experience is much more than what happens in the classroom.

Think of all the on-campus clubs, organizations and athletics that are losing a valuable part of their college experience, with the university not returning to business as usual until mid-April.

And not just this, many in-person classes cannot be made up online.

“Instruction that involves labs, studios, music lessons, clinical experience, e.g., may meet at the discretion of the dean provided that social distancing is observed and respected,” said the university in a statement.

Putting the continuation of these classroom experiences under decanal discretion is not only vague, but offers very little consolation to those students whose degrees hinge upon the completion of these experiences.

Seniors are put in an especially vexing situation.

The last semester of college brings with it a mountain of stress, from graduation, to finding a job, to the thought of eventually paying of student loan debt.

This cancellation, while a breath of fresh

air in the short-term, also robs them of their final days spent with the friends they have made over the past four years.

It’s clear that the university made this decision out of concern for student safety, yet there are certain experiences you can never regain.

Anne Simendinger Don’t get me wrong, I love going to classes with my friends and learning as much as the next college student. However, I think putting people’s health first is the right move. And if I’m being honest, I’m really looking forward to an extended break.

As far as health is concerned, there are many professors who would be put at risk by being in the same room as a COVID-19 victim or carrier. My American Sign Language professor has an extremely weak immune system and if any of us have so much as a fever we are told to stay home.

The last thing I would want is for her or anyone to be sick, and with COVID-19 someone in those conditions are not only more likely to get it, but it will also affect them much harder. This is also true for our favorite elderly professors. Why put them at risk when you could still get the material and learn from the comfort of your own home or your favorite coffee shop?

While having online classes for the next month does not necessarily mean a month break from school altogether, we still get to have more time to do these assignments.

Professors may even be more lenient on assignments because of the circumstances.

If you are like me and have early morning classes, you get to have that extra time to sleep then do your work in your bed instead of having to walk or drive to class and sit in an uncomfortable chair.

Opinion | UC Housing is too costly EMILY CHIEN | STAFF REPORTER

The sales of face masks have grown exponentionally since the coronavirus outbreak.

COYOT | PIXABAY

There aren’t many decent, affordable choices when you decide to live in UC Housing. For an incoming first year’s multiple occupancy traditional dorm, the cost for the 2020-2021 school year comes out to $11,874 with the typical mandatory unlimited meal plan. That’s eight months at $1,484.25 per month, approximately.

During my first year, I lived with three other girls in a space half the size of my living room now in Daniels Hall; I swear, the space just barely passes the fire code.

Anyone with eyes could tell the structure of the building is ancient, as it was built in 1967.

During move-in, every elevator consistently broke down, a few weeks later someone decided to defecate in our communal microwave and we were told that we had to pay out of pocket for water damages when a bathroom flooded and broke through to the bottom floor lounge.

Freshmen deal with this kind of building because they think they have to. But even once most students retire from traditional residence halls, they realize that the price only gets steeper for cheap luxuries and just as many fire alarms, at least if they continue to rent through UC. For a single-occupancy room in an apartment-style dorm, your total is $14,640 a year, or $1,830 a month. Even though rent is increasing in the area overall, that’s still triple the price of other Clifton housing alternatives.

Now, I live in The Deacon, which is on the other side of the UC Housing spectrum from Daniels. According to the UC Housing website, “Students that live at The Deacon

are academically focused and impactful leaders who use their skills to serve the community around them.”

Really, they’re just some of the only college kids who can afford to live here.

The structure was slapped together over a single summer. And although UC doesn’t own the whole building, the shift to off-campus complexes like The Deacon, The Verge and 101 East Corry is going to be more and more common if enrollment continues to increase.

UC has a long history of breaking building codes in order to pack in students.

Its 27-story Sander Hall, at a time the tallest residence hall in Ohio, was deemed unsafe and too costly to fix when it was demolished in 1991. Many ex-residents recount the horrific elevator situation and nightly fire alarms, not far off from the complaints of those living in UC dormitories now.

Students shouldn’t be forced to live on campus their first year, or ever. There’s something to be said for dorm culture, as it’s a good way to make friends via sheer exposure, but it should be a students’ decision to live where they’re comfortable, both socially and financially.

The traditional residence halls are due for a severe update, and much of the money we currently funnel into cheaply built new projects should be put directly into installing new elevators for all traditional halls, ensuring that they’re structurally secure and creating a livable environment for the students forced to live there.

If the university wants to market itself as where “next” lives, it should start with affordable, quality housing options.

Calhoun Hall houses over 800 students within the building’s 12 floors.

Sudoku

By The Mepham Group

Sudoku is played on a grid of 9 x 9 spaces.

Within the rows and columns are 9 “squares” (made up of 3 x 3 spaces). Each row, column and square (9 spaces each) needs to be filled out with the numbers 1-9, without repeating any numbers within the row, column or square.

Does it sound complicated? Each Sudoku grid comes with a few spaces already filled in; the more spaces filled in, the easier the game – the more difficult Sudoku puzzles have very few spaces that are already filled in.
